Kinda like how Linus isn’t really a content creator

surreal moss
#

Being on your own isn’t a qualification to me

#

If you have a team around you, great. Most people aren’t smart enough to do that.

full flint
#

a team is one thing but an entire company is a different story entirely

#

Louis Rossman does his videos himself, despite having his shop.

#

Jay's in that middle ground. LinusMediaGroup is a production company

Nice. Me too

All this news recently has me super excited because I'm saving up to build a pc before winters end

#

Gonna be my first ever build bouncingblob

#

Good time to build a PC now with Nvidia set to launch new GPUs and AMD announcing both new CPUs (October 8th) and GPUs (October 28th)

#

Really makes me glad me building a pc got delayed a bit

devout remnant
#

Agreed, good time to be a PC gamer with new hardware just around the corner.

#

same, i'm gonna be doing my first build before the end of the year too lol

devout remnant
#

Ooofff niceeeee

#

I love new builds

#

So fresh, so fast.

Looks like the 3080 is smaller and thinner than the 2080TI @ the 6:35 min mark and shorter than the 2070 Super @ 7:24 min mark

Oh my goodness! 1tb too!

#

How much did you get that bad boy for?

#

I picked up a 500gb wd black a few weeks ago for $60 i think. I like it!

#

Can't really tell that much of a difference between my ssd for games, really.

full flint
#

970 Evo Plus 1Tb is $150-170 USD atm

coarse pond
#

that's not bad. i picked up a 500gb gen 4 corsair one recently for $105

full flint
#

I needed volume for now

coarse pond
#

yeah i still need something else for mass storage for games, not sure if i wanna get a seagate hdd or just get a sata drive

full flint
#

Corsair uses Samsung Flash anyway

#

So I figured why not just go with name

#

It’s just my bedroom build anyway

#

low-mid B550 TUF mobo and a 3700x

coarse pond
#

i was thinking about something similar to that for my build lol

#

tuf boards are pretty good

full flint
#

Eh

#

They’re more or less baseline

coarse pond
#

I mean yeah but seems like they generally have good vrm and performance and can do a bit of overclocking

#

i was considering the x570 one for a while

#

over the other asus x570 boards anyways, if you're not planning on doing some serious overclocking for gaming the tuf boards are pretty great, well that's just from the reviews i've seen anyways

full flint
#

ASUS Prime doesn’t exist

#

If we think hard enough it can vanish. TUF are now the entry models. Lol

#

I’d take TUF over STRIX usually. But it sucks cause STRIX usually have more capabilities

coarse pond
#

oh yeah the prime board, i see lots of people using that one for white builds

full flint
#

Non STRIX ROG line are the better ones imo

coarse pond
#

i was considering the strix e-gaming board too, i'm just ocd af and want to match my motherboard with my gpu and the strix design for the 3080 is kinda meh to me

smoky flame
#

I thought about doing that with my build when I started too but going all Asus would have worked out very expensive. Would rather just go for something that works. If I can save money you bet I will, provided it doesn't completely compromise the rest of my system that is

full flint
#

I usually hit these two configs:

#

ASUS+Corsair
EVGA+Razer

devout remnant
#

970 Evo Plus 1Tb is $150-170 USD atm
@full flint wow, that’s a good deal! I need a 2TB version though 👀

#

I agree, ASUS + Corsair make a good pairing

full flint
#

idk if the 2TB version is on sale

#

or lowered.

devout remnant
#

Cheapest I can see is £365

#

Usually it’s around £380-£390

#

Hmmm, I might just go for it.

#

Yeah, went for it, had my eye on it for a while now.

What graphics settings is optimal for the gtx 1650 in flight sim 2020

#

@surreal moss to hell with the 3080

#

8K 3090 benchmarks from EVGA using the kingpin card.

#

imagine the performance at 1080p

surreal moss

Bruh I ain’t got kingpin money gtfo

#

That card is easily going to be 1800-2000

#

I still have to buy a new cpu+mobo to match as well as a 360hz panel

full flint
#

And that's only a Gen3 PCIe M.2 (slotted in a Gen4 Port)

smoky flame
#

its only because consoles are using custom storage solutions faster than even SATA SSD that people are suddenly after the fastest storage possible on PC. Just a few years ago I remember getting told not to touch NVME even though its speeds are greater I apparenly wouldn't have noticed as big a difference in game load times going from SATA SSD to NVME compared to HDD to SSD. Such comments clearly didn't age too well

#

just need NVMe prices to somehow drop far enough so I can get 2TB then I too can go and ditch both SSD and HDD. Gen 4 NVMe still pretty pricey though

full flint
#

That's....not even remotely what I mean

smoky flame
#

what did you mean? Also what are the other storages? I can figure out the SSD and HDD but what about the even slower ones?

full flint
#

the slow ones are HDD

#

and I meant in general people stating that SSD aren't a requirement for improving game's loads and performance to the CPU.

#

despite the disparity in I/O on even a SATA SSD

#

The 970 is NVMe SSD
The C400 is SATA SSD

#

Anything over 100MB/s is a 7200RPM HDD, the others are less

devout remnant
#

970 EP is a fantastic NVMe

#

I believe one of the fastest, if not the fastest, at PCIE 3.0

#

Those 3090 benchmarks are insane

full flint
#

I think EVO Pro is faster iirc

devout remnant
#

And indeed, will be incredible to see 1080p/1440p/2160p

#

Depends

#

EVO PRO in 970 I don’t think is

#

The 980 yes because it’s just come out and based on 4.0

#

I think !

#

I could be wrong though!

full flint
#

980 is 4.0, yes

devout remnant
#

Yeah, thought so

full flint
#

Pro is much faster

devout remnant
#

Will be interesting to see that mature

#

It is, 2x I think?

#

I know Linus did a video of some memory that was RIDICULOUS

#

I think it was like 15,000 MB/s !!

full flint
#

depends on size though

#

yes. that's a GIGABYTE AORUS....PCIe x16 RAID SSD

#

idk the actual model

#

but it's based on Gen4 and uses a full x16 slot. requires RAID0 and Bifurcation

#

(which my new bedroom computer supports) but also seemingly requires a Threadripper to even be able to handle it.

devout remnant
#

Yeah, that’s the one! It was insane!

#

Also, interesting read, so excited

smoky flame
#

there are many things I still wonder about these 1080p 360Hz monitors. Even though it is 1080p just how many games will actually hit such FPS and aren't limited either by CPU or game engines. I'm not even sure a system with a 10900K + 3090 could consistently push 360 FPS in a majority of titles even at 1080p. Definitely geared towards esports and competitive gamers who play certain types of games

#

not to mention the whole RTX 30 series is marketed with 4K in mind so 1080p should be all but dead. We finally have GPUs that should be capable of handling 4K gaming nicely rather than sub-60 FPS slideshow experiences

surreal moss
#

The 360hz monitor is intended for esports

#

Not playing single players games

foggy vigil
#

but 360hz solitaire 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

#

smoky flame
#

I think I've walking into the whole esports marketing hype things a couple too many times but annoyingly how can you avoid it on PC? Seems just about every company that does monitors supports at least one esports event, team or individual. Like my old Asus monitor, the PG248Q was ESL One 2016 and "The International 2016" now I have a monitor backed by some "T1" esports team. I don't follow esports like I used to so I do apologize if these guys are really good in their respective game

coarse pond
#

the diminishing returns from 240hz to 360hz really shows, linus did a video on it comparing 144hz, 240hz and 360hz that you can search up to see more about it

#

it was on his 360hz monitor review

surreal moss
#

Ok casual

coarse pond
#

I'm not a fan of esports really tbh, not really my cup of tea. I am interested in getting the most enjoyable gaming experience though

#

it's roughly a savings of 1.4ms each frame from 240 to 360 tho from linus's testings

smoky flame
#

how noticeable will that be to most gamers? As is I can't notice much difference between 144Hz and 240Hz and that's a bigger leap than 240Hz to 360Hz

surreal moss
#

It’s not about what you notice

#

It’s about what you feel

#

It’s about how you perform

#

Thank u apple

coarse pond
#

Yeah, it probably won't help out most people that much going from 240hz to 360hz unless you're someone like Shroud to where that extra little bit can help in situational fights where the most up-to-date information can make a tiny bit difference. Definitely not the worth the extra money though unless you're that kind of gamer

surreal moss
#

Money is irrelevant when chasing advantage for people who care about it the most

coarse pond
#

That's what I mean, unless you're someone like Shroud where you're competing then yeah

surreal moss
#

You don’t have to compete or be shroud to enjoy fluid motion and advantage

#

The panel will be immensely popular in the sweaty amateur scene

coarse pond
#

I mean it's totally fine if people that aren't competing and just like that type of things too if they want it no one is stopping them from doing that. You can't say for sure if it will really help them all that much though depending on the skillset of the person

surreal moss
#

That’s a whole different argument

#

Not everyone can push equipment to its full use, but that doesn’t mean it won’t improve their current skills

#

Theoretically, you always improve

coarse pond
#

Yeah that's true, it just all depends. There's some competitive players that are really good at certain games too that still use 60hz

#

But a lot of them just say it's because that's what they are comfortable with since that's what they've always played on

surreal moss
#

And they’re willingly giving up on improvement as a result

#

I too enjoy not growing my skill ceiling

coarse pond
#

I wasn't really disagreeing with you. It isn't always just better tech though that'll improve your skills, lot of improvements still rely in the player itself rather than the tech

surreal moss
#

Not necessarily true

coarse pond
#

I mean like you could still have the best everything and not be as good as you'd like to be. I honestly didn't see much of a difference myself going from 60hz xbox to pc 144hz gaming but there could be other reasons for it

surreal moss
#

Your skill is a sum of your invested ecosystem. You can only grow your mechanical skills to as far as your equipment allows. You can only utilize your equipment as far as your mechanical skills allow. It’s not one more than the other

coarse pond
#

I also used to just play cod on xbox and eventually made a jump to pc

surreal moss
#

However it’s easy to bottleneck your skills if you have bad equipment, so that’s why it’s important to invest, even if you can’t utilize them immediately. Sometimes the reason you can’t is because the current equipment you’re using isn’t good enough to let you shine

#

Don’t look at something and say “I’m not good enough to utilize that”. Instead ask yourself “how much farther could I push myself if I had it”

#

Maintain your champion’s mentality

coarse pond
#

you could be a motivational speaker 😂

#

But yeah I know what you mean I get that. I just think there could be diminishing returns from higher and higher hz and frames depending on the type of competitive games you're playing

surreal moss
#

I’m just very competitive

#

You just need to look at the conceptual things

coarse pond
#

I used to be very competitive in cod but now I just play competitively in WoW

surreal moss
#

If I’m on 360 and you’re on 240 (assuming we had equal skill), I’m going to see things before you, react faster than you, aim better than you, and win.

coarse pond
#

Well yeah, of course

fleet mason

@smoky flame i have no issues doing 360+ in any MP game at 1080p, especially with the new 3090, will be easier.

#

@coarse pond Linus test was a flaw, you can read on it about they didn’t do the UFO test correctly

#

I'm not a fan of esports really tbh, not really my cup of tea. I am interested in getting the most enjoyable gaming experience though
@coarse pond anyone who wants to play MP at a high level, wants the smoothest experience, will benefit. I’m very sensitive to this, so with 50% extra frames, there will be a difference and I will pick up on it / the benefits are worth paying for even if it’s the 4% Nvidia say or more.

smoky flame
#

I'll be happy if I get a reasonable gaming experience minus screen tearing. Don't mind adding a little latency when stuff like Freesync and Gsync exist. Tear free gaming regardless of framerate just looks so good on the eyes. Could never go without it now. Still less latency added compared to what enabling Vsync in game adds I believe and idk if I will actually ever reach 240 FPS at 1440p. Certainly not doing it at the settings I play at on my current hardware. Not expecting either the 3080 or 3090 to do it either as I will probably be held back by my CPU anyway

#

btw, is it just me or does 1080p look pretty bad on a 1440p display?

devout remnant
#

I never had an issue hitting 240 on 1440p

#

And 1080p is only really acceptable on a >25” screen and a good quality IPS one at that.

I ran C20 on a new stable 5ghz I found and it immediately surpassed 90C package

#

I turned off the powerlimits so it literally sat at 250W for a solid 20 seconds

#

Never doing benchmarking again at this level but it was fun watching it crush with just 12 threads

MCC boot screen was at 3300 FPS

Finally running at a full 4.99ghz with 4000cl18 and not crashing anywhere in any game

figured I should start from the freshest template possible and have all of my workflows shined and polished.

@devout remnant that's why i said unless you're someone like shroud, meaning someone that competes and plays competitively at a high tier to where you could really benefit from it, otherwise I just think it isn't worth the money. Especially if you have to have a 3090 to even hit those frames

#

also what do you mean you never had issues hitting 240 on 1440p? is this on low/medium settings and/or on older games?

devout remnant
#

@coarse pond you don’t need to be Shroud. Anyone who plays at a high level will benefit.

It’s not worth the money because it’s brand new tech and expensive.

But IMO, it’s the best MP monitor you can buy.

#

So for people like me, cost isn’t an issue.

#

And I meant any MP game,
Mostly High Settings,
Some on Ultra (Character Models)
Some on Medium,

I can get 240+ no problem.

But IMO, it’s the best MP monitor you can buy.
@devout remnant Again, I didn't say you had to be exactly like Shroud in terms of skill, I said someone LIKE him as in he's someone that plays almost nothing but competitive games and played competitively at a high tier, which is exactly what I said before, as in anyone at a high rank in CSGO, Valorant or Overwatch.

devout remnant
#

You can be low skilled but still enjoy the best hardware.

#

It’s not always just about competing.

coarse pond
#

For people that aren't necessarily at that level of skill I don't see how it would be worth it as much, especially if they don't have the budget for that.

devout remnant
#

If you’re considering it, then I’m sure you can afford it. It’s a very niche target audience.

coarse pond
#

It would probably be better for them to practice more or start small and work their way up.

devout remnant
#

That’s besides the point, everything costs money & that’s a display for the long term.

#

Why work your way up?

#

£400-£500 for a decent display

coarse pond
#

I know, I just meant at this exact point in time

devout remnant
#

Only to spend more again?

#

This is future proofed.

coarse pond
#

I mean, a 144hz isn't bad, not even bad for starting small in competitive play

devout remnant
#

A lot more than any other MP display

full flint
#

I don't care what anyone says, 1080 is not future proofed

coarse pond
#

^

full flint
#

because in several years we'll see similar refresh rates hit 1440p

devout remnant
#

Obviously not referring to resolution 🙄

full flint
#

and eventually 4k

devout remnant
#

Doubt.

#

1440p 240 came YEARS after 1080p

full flint
#

Considering 4k monitors really didn't come out until 2013/2014

#

and we're already at 144hz

devout remnant
#

If you think we’re going to see 1440p 360 in the next few years then idk

full flint
#

You're forgetting tech-curves exist

devout remnant
#

7-8 years is a long time.

full flint
#

Each subsequent tech takes half as long to mature

#

That's why we're already getting 8k displays

devout remnant
#

And even still, DP 2.0 is needed for those 4K screens, only now DSC is a thing.

full flint
#

1080p had been around for 20 years prior to 2013

devout remnant
#

8K displays aren’t for gamers for a good while yet.

coarse pond
#

My main game is WoW and I play a ton of end game and mythic raiding and run on the LG 1440p 144hz monitor that I picked up for $380

full flint
#

4k has been around for 10

devout remnant
#

@coarse pond you’re not the target for 360Hz screens then

full flint
#

so again, if you think it WON'T hit 1440p sooner than later, you're very much mistaken.

devout remnant
#

And btw,

People can have more than one screen 😅

#

I know it won’t.

full flint
#

I promise you it will

devout remnant
#

Then he’s not the target market/consumer.

coarse pond
#

I know, I already said what the target market is and you said it too lol

devout remnant
#

So your points are irrelevant 😅

full flint
#

144hz has been around for less time than 4k

#

meaning the adoption curve for 4k 144hz was half of that

coarse pond
#

Not really.. I wasn't even trying to make the point you're thinking, was talking about a different conversation entirely

full flint
#

This is simple statistics and tech-watch

devout remnant
#

Not really

full flint
#

yes really

devout remnant
#

The tech needs to catch up, you think 4K 144Hz is mainstream?

#

Steam did a survey and it’s single digits, closer to 0% then it is to 10%

#

Of gamers actually using a 4K screen

full flint
#

It's not about what's mainstream

devout remnant
#

Because right now, GPUs are just about what’s making it useful

full flint
#

you think tech will wait for something to be largely adopted to advance?

#

that's called complacency

devout remnant
#

No, it has to have a audience to sell too

full flint
#

you want good examples of complacency..look at Intel

#

There's always an audience.

devout remnant
#

LG could make a 1,000Hz 4K screen right now

full flint
#

1000hz tech doesn't exist

#

not yet

devout remnant
#

Yes it does

full flint
#

it's theoretical

devout remnant
#

Displays go over that

#

You think they don’t exist?

#

You should research into it 😅

full flint
#

CRT are "theoretically" infinite due to how they function

#

but they still have a limit

#

we have 1000hz sensors

#

we don't have 1000hz display tech

#

NVIDIA and ASUS are the ones who are doing the most research into it

#

but it's not currently possible

devout remnant
#

There are displays out there capable of doing it right now, and if it was going to be a thing mainstream, LG could do it right now.

full flint
#

we have an AR Display that's experimental

#

which runs at 16000hz

#

but that's not standard panel-tech

#

so, considering they slate 1000hz as not feasible until 2030 (NVIDIA and ASUS reps words) then no

#

the tech is not currently possible. it's all in research phase

devout remnant
#

Consumer wise no

full flint
#

in general

devout remnant
#

Which is my point

full flint
#

Panel-tech is far from 1000hz

devout remnant
#

Thank you, my point 🙏

full flint
#

you're literally echoing what I said

devout remnant
#

The tech is still far away

#

That’s what I said from the start

full flint
#

LG could make a 1,000Hz 4K screen right now

#

oh yes....from the start

devout remnant
#

They could if they wanted to

#

But it’s not gonna happen

full flint
#

they couldn't. it'd take years of research

#

You're counteracting your own statements

devout remnant
#

For an end product yes

#

Doesn’t mean they couldn’t make one right now, it’s two different things.

full flint
#

for a viable example

#

they could start the research now, but that's not the same as "making one"

#

"making one" means they could produce an example product

devout remnant
#

It’s having a display able to refresh that high, because OLED doesn’t have the limitations.

#

They could literally have one ready if they wanted to but I don’t work for them so can’t really comment but a few billion dollars would help for sure.

#

Companies don’t rush into making it a thing because there’s stepping stones.

full flint
#

that's...no

devout remnant
#

You think they can’t from your limited knowledge

full flint
#

that's not how engineering works at all

#

at all

devout remnant
#

Unless you know exactly how LG Display works

full flint
#

If they plan to have 1000hz by 2030, then logically 360hz would be a lot more mature by then, and we'd see it adopted on more than just 1080p

#

That alone is how these "stepping stones" that you're clinging to here works

#

I never said it would be in 4k in several years. Simply 1440p

devout remnant
#

4-5 years I can see 1440p 360Hz being a thing.

full flint
#

3-4

devout remnant
#

By then, I expect 1080p480Hz

#

So you’re always going to be chasing something

#

And my whole original point was

full flint
#

1440p@240 exists now, it's just flawed

devout remnant
#

360Hz is going to be the best you can get for a while, if you’re looking at buying a display today - it’s going to future proof your purchase.

#

Why is it flawed?

full flint
#

motion smearing

devout remnant
#

My display from last year was flawless

#

Was zero smearing whatsoever.

#

Mine wasn’t VA

full flint
#

I'm being general

devout remnant
#

It was 2nd Gen TN which is 90% quality of IPS colour wise

full flint
#

some models are better than others

devout remnant
#

Well, they’re the two options, I would never go VA

#

Until IPS versions arrive soon.

full flint
#

350W power draw

devout remnant
#

I imagine even more power draw out of the AIB 3090.

Especially with 3x 8pins

@full flint You do realise that there isn't any HDMI monitors/TV's released yet right?

#

The first monitor to be revealed to have 2.1 ports was in August

#

And you can use hdmi 2.0 cables in 1.4 ports, same goes for all types of ports.

ruby spear
#

There are TVs with HDMI 2.1

hybrid tundra
#

I've not seen any just yet, if that's so my bad but I'm positive that there are no 2.1 monitors yet.

ruby spear
#

Pre-orders are available for monitors, but they're not due until around January.

hybrid tundra
#

Ah right, my bad.

#

However to be honest the port doesn't matter too much.

ruby spear
#

But there are some LG and Samsung TVs with HDMI 2.1. They're pretty expensive, though.

hybrid tundra
#

It's more about the cable connectivity.

#

Yeah I'd expect them to be.

#

But yeah overall a 2.1 TV/Monitor really isnt needed hence the reasoning on why all the HDMI 2.1 TV's/Monitors aren't really released just yet and when they will be next gen would have happened. You'd be running the new xbox at it's max capabilities, 120hz and in your case 1440p.

@hybrid tundra

2.1 is needed for VRR on Xbox. It also allows 4K 120Hz HDR 10-bit. Monitors coming soon, TVs have had it since 2019.

If you’re looking to buy, you might as well hold off until you can get one of those.

If you want to do 4k the 3070's vram will probably have some issues in the future, otherwise the 3070 will be fine for 1080p and 1440p gaming for 3-4 years at least. I'm not expecting games to really evolve much in that time to bring that card's performance down

#

it defaults to high

smoky flame
#

hmm not bad

full flint
#

it will occasionally dip to 45-50 in intense portions

but that'll be ironed out as the drivers (and CPUs) mature

#

as well as Ti model

at least 8K gaming is now in a "playable" state. Wasn't too long ago I remember Linus trying it (before RTX 30 series was a thing) and turned out pretty bad from what I remember

full flint
#

15-20fps

#

he still doesn't need Antialiasing though

#

he had to get really close to the monitor to even see a stairstep on Doom

#

and that was minimal

#

(AA off)

#

which increases performance ofc

#

which means that TAA can finally DIE

#

god it's so gross

smoky flame
#

Yeah, I'm not a fan of TAA either. Worse still if it is baked into the game like it is on Control and The Division 2 I believe

#

no way to disable it then

full flint
#

It doesn't actually effect it much at higher res

#

since even baked in TAA scales based on resolution

#

so it's much worse at lower res

smoky flame
#

still annoying it can't be disabled though or if it can be done through cfg files it is not recommended. DLSS should cover Control nicely without all the negatives of TAA

hard solstice
#

Among us anyone

#

The Division 2 though doesn't (yet at least) support DLSS. Would be awesome if it did though. Could play at maxed settings and FPS wouldn't drop nearly as much as it does. Pretty horrible FPS drops on my 5700 XT at 1440p maxed settings

#

only way I'm mitigating the FPS drops is lowering resolution scaling in game down to as low as 50% (720p?) but resolution scaling is an odd one with this game

full flint

"So what's our enemy cap--"

#

Digital Foundry posted their optimized settings for FS for the 3080

#

If you're wanting to go entirely maxed out then you should probably go for the 3090, provided you plan to play it a lot

#

You likely won't need it for any of the games now

#

and by the time you would need it, there'd be new cards anyway

smoky flame
#

one of these cards should be enough. Nvidia are killing SLI/NVlink as we knew it. Seems they are going down the AMD crossfire route

#

tbh I won't be surprised if it is killed off completely within a year after that

full flint
#

It's going to be supported, but only on higher-end cards

it was never for gaming to begin with

if you're getting a B550 just go for an M.2

smoky flame
#

3090 also doesn't appear to be good value for money but if you are rolling in cash with no care then 3090 appears to be the best you can get, at least at this time and if you can actually get one. Half expecting stock to be fewer than the 3080

full flint

most would suggest avoiding MSI boards for their quality

yep

surreal moss
#

So you’ll either be able to get a better processor at the same price or a 3700x for way cheaper

smoky flame
#

yeah, definitely a steal when compared to a Titan RTX but seeing reports that the 3090 only manages to beat the 3080 by around 9% on average across difference types of benchmarks really doesn't sound good

surreal moss
#

It’s. Not. For. Gaming.

#

Said this last time

full flint
#

that's the thing about benchmarks

#

they don't really show much

#

Also AMD is unveiling new processors in literally 2 weeks.

Yes, someone told me that as well. 😅

#

raw computational performance =/= actual performance

surreal moss
#

October 8th

smoky flame
#

these weren't all gaming benchmarks XLR8

full flint
#

in actual use the 3090 blasts past the 3080

smoky flame
#

I'd sure hope it does

surreal moss
#

GPU stress tests aren’t accurate benchmarks to GPU horsepower

full flint
#

but it's meant for creative prosumers

#

you aren't getting 40-70FPS in 8k games running at high on a 3080

#

at all

#

nor anywhere near it

#

you're both Core as well as Memory limited

surreal moss
#

Also one thing everyone is completely missing is that even though the FPS marks are 10% higher, the 3090 has so much raw performance bandwidth that when the 3080 drops in FPS the 3090 drops not nearly as much, creating up to a 30% FPS differential

smoky flame
#

core limited? memory limited I could understand. 10GB vs 24GB. Huge difference there

full flint
#

I really want to play Halo Infinite & the new Forza Motorsport in the best performance possible.

surreal moss
#

But everyone just looks at $ per frame

full flint
#

10496 vs 8704
24GB vs 10GB

surreal moss
#

Well if you’re looking at the best performance possible you shouldn’t be getting AMD

full flint
#

new games are going to make use of SMT

#

so that's kinda moot going with intel at this rate

#

games like Crysis Remastered would be a better match with Intel

surreal moss
#

We’ll cross that bridge when we actually get there

full flint
#

since it still relies heavily on single-core performance

smoky flame
#

thing is there isn't that much of a difference between the 3080 and 3090 in raw compute power. There is a far bigger gap between the 3070 and 3080 iirc

surreal moss
#

Wrong PogChampion

full flint
#

yeah

#

there's a landslide difference

smoky flame
#

I'm going by techpowerup's GPU database figures. Good old "on paper" and teraflops figures

full flint
#

again

#

Database figures

#

not

Usecase figures

smoky flame
#

should still give some indicatipn to how a GPU performs in workloads that demand this performance the most

surreal moss
#

Think about it. 1.4x the vram plus Thousands more cores plus 25% bigger bus

full flint
#

people never calculate the bus

#

that's where they screw up

#

sure, 1.4x the vram, that's its own thing

#

1800 more cores on its own doesn't look too impressive

#

until you realize that the bus is going from 320bit to 384bit

#

that's a massive increase in throughput

smoky flame
#

3090 sits at 35.58 teraflops, 3080 is 29.77 teraflops and 3070 is 20.31 teraflops. Might not be the best figure to go by but that 3070 to 3080 difference is definitely something

full flint
#

the memory throughput over doubles

#

nope

surreal moss
#

You have to add everything, not just go “ok everything looks 10-15% bigger so the GPU must be 10-15% more powerful

full flint
#

936GBps against 760GBps

surreal moss
#

That’s the easiest way to get it in your head

full flint
#

that's a massive increase

#

because memory bus matters way more than honestly anything else

smoky flame
#

3090 still seems so over the top then and if this GPU is for more than gaming why isn't it in a lineup more suited to its use? Last I checked Geforce RTX was a gaming lineup. Wouldn't Quadro be more suitable for these other uses?

full flint
#

it is over the top

#

no one's saying it's not

#

but it's only over the top when it comes to gaming

#

as soon as you use it for what it's truly designed for

#

it becomes standard in performance

surreal moss
#

They know rock heads will pay double the amount for 10% more frames

#

And they can market it as a creator device at the same time

#

Two birds one fat paycheck

full flint
#

or for the creator, an extreme steal

smoky flame
#

I was close to waiting on the 3090 and trying to snag one on a two year finance. Glad I didn't if its biggest gains can only be found in non gaming use or 8K gaming

full flint
#

but Ti models have already been SKU'd anyway

#

so more reason for me to wait

surreal moss
#

Which skus

#

I only know of the 20gb 3080

full flint
#

16gb 3070Ti

#

lenovo accidentally slipped

surreal moss
#

Anything higher

full flint
#

no word on anything higher just yet

#

and they've already struck them

smoky flame
#

I'm guessing these Ti cards will be Nvidia's answer to RDNA 2?

surreal moss
#

Probably

full flint
#

3070Ti is a direct competitor to AMD's higher end, yeah

#

AMD's response is just more DDR6

surreal moss
#

Lul

full flint
#

since DDR6X is NVIDIA only

surreal moss
#

When I saw gddr6x was nvidia/micron I was like oh.. AMD toast

full flint
#

yayyy..licensing exclusivity deals

#

it's very possible that this may be the last iteration of Radeon cards

smoky flame
#

something I wonder though. 20GB on a 3080. Won't it be slower than the 10GB model or is it very likely using the same board as the 3090?

surreal moss
#

Wat

full flint
#

Ti always have higher bus

#

and clocks

smoky flame
#

no mention of it being a Ti. Just "3080 20GB" so far

full flint
surreal moss
#

Let’s be real

#

It’s a ti

#

And they’re gonna name it ti

#

Because people are gonna buy it

full flint
#

they don't mem-split higher end cards

#

that's only for lower end xx60 models

#

it's def a Ti

surreal moss
#

Also if bigger version of 3070 = 3070ti then bigger version of 3080 =

smoky flame
#

so if it is a Ti it will recieve even more cores etc on top of. Just not a double of memory and other stuff like that? Now I'm mad... Will be watching on potentialy a month or so later as Nvidia make a less than 3 month old 3080 look old with the announcement of a 3080 Ti

full flint
#

I'd literally said there'd be a Ti in the several months after

#

it's always the trend

smoky flame
#

yeah. I think I have fallen for the 3080 hype too fast. Guaranteed this Ti will end up playing out as a 3090 killer. Like how the 1080 Ti initially beat the Titan X Pascal before Nvidia later relased the Titan Xp. I can see a really nasty 48GB Titan coming and it will be "so much for the 3090 being a Titan-class card when the Titan smashes it"

full flint
#

oh, nah

#

they're labeling the 3090 as a gaming card now

#

it'll get the Ti treatment as well, watch

#

no way they'll let the mid-high compete with flagship

#

they'll probably do 1.5x or 2.0x memory

#

36 or 48

#

Quadro RTX 8000 has 48gb

#

the new quadros will likely have double the current lineup's

smoky flame
#

I believe I seen something of an A6000 with 48GB. Was either on Guru3D or Techpowerup

full flint

sounds like a quadro

surreal moss

#

smoky flame
#

not sure. It had more CUDA cores than even a 3090. Might be the full fat Ampere. Unless there is something even meaner

full flint
#

that Ti will be $2200

#

watch

smoky flame
#

10700+ cores

full flint

what if they Kingpin it

surreal moss
#

They can’t mass produce that

#

Also nobody will buy a 3k gaming card

@hybrid tundra yeah, seriously though how many side buttons does a mouse need

hybrid tundra

Many mouses that come with 12 buttons are usually for MOBAs and for all other game types the max you'll need is probably around 4/5 but a lot come with 2/3.

ive seen some LOL esport player with a mouse with 18 side buttons

Glad I picked an ASUS TUF 3080. Seems that video I found on someone having issues with their Zotac 2080 Ti put me off Zotac just enough that it saved me from walking into a really bad experience. Otherwise I may have ended up getting one of the Zotac cards and guaranteed I would have probably got it by now too. I don't mind waiting but my expectations of ASUS cards may have just gone up a notch or two

hey y’all, do any of y’all recommend a good monitor that’s not to expensive? most i’m willing to spend it $400. i just need one that will run decently 🙂 (i’m prob not gonna be using it for games )

hybrid tundra

Well if you're not going to be using it for games, I wouldn't reccomend getting a monitor. I'd get a TV unless you plan to do coding/office work/programming etc.

heavy dirge
#

if you're gonna use a tv with your pc you would probably want a tv with more than 60 refresh rate because tv's tend to have slow response times with pcs

You need one with a low response time, it's not going to matter if the refresh rate is high or not if the response time is slow
