I keep doing this xD

#

Talking 6800 in different discords with the same channel names xD

#

Fun fact : Danes will often switch between full danish and full english sentences at the drop of a hat xD

#

6800 launch aswell or no?
@fickle ore Yes.

ashen spindle
#

I mean I do the same online with german people sometimes

old marlin
#

lol

#

I don't

#

I know that 2nd and 3rd gen turkish immigrants often switch midsentence between turkish and gemran

vast moss
#

6800 launch as well or no?
Yes. 6800/XT momentarily, 6900XT 8 Dec

#

the question is: do I bait for wenchmarks or jump in?

ashen spindle
#

well, usually I say wait

#

if it is around the power you need, get one, watch reviews, return if needed is what I say with current suply

fickle ore
#

Neither, they are too expensive

#

w8n for 6700

ashen spindle
#

well, if you want >2080ti performance that wont work

fickle ore
#

iunno, SAM and infinity cache and all that new shit

vast moss
#

was going to get 6800 but maybe XT

#

or I could see if the 5700 XT drops in price then snag one of those if so

#

However, I don't think I'd use the fancy new features since I don't think I'll be getting Zen 3

#

if it is around the power you need
1080p144 Ultra gaming (Windows and Linux), GC/Wii/U emulation included

fickle ore
#

Not sure if DirectStorage + RTX I/O equivalent needs RDNA 2 specifically, or even RDNA 3? No idea

#

cos it needs hardware component for compression/decompression

cursive summit
#

"NVIDIA is launching the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti on December 2, better performance than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER for under $400."

vast moss
#

Nvidia Linux drivers :v

ashen spindle
#

directstorage should just be a feature on the pcie spec iirc

vast moss
#

Thinking of going Team Red from here on out since AMD plays nicer with Linux, and I do want to use Linux for gaming

wheat plume
#

I wanna get an AMD card

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume Hello I am an AMD representative Rajim Punjabi, how may I help you today?

reef tundra
#

Buy one get one deal

wheat plume
#

Ah yes
It seems my cumpooter has a popup I can't get away

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle directstorage is, but it requires pcie 4.0 nvme ssd, wont work on others. But RTX IO/AMD equivalent tech enables direct storage -> pcie -> GPU VRAM writing, bypassing cpu/mem

#

you use them in combination

#

amd has 2 patents for that tech already

#

idk why they havent talked about it yet

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume Ah yes you need to visit this website it will only cost you nothing downloadmoreram.com and you also might want to download pcoptimizerpro.com and also send us a payment 400$ paypal

ashen spindle
#

needs to be implemeted first I'd say

wheat plume
#

Sounds like a deal!

#

Can you take gift cards?

fickle ore
#

well Nvidia talked about RTX IO already and it wont come until directstorage anyway, dunno if compatible with 3000 series

cursive summit
#

Yes Steam gift cards

#

Paid for in Cyberpunk 2077 codes

wheat plume
#

:')

ashen spindle
#

think rtx io was mentioned because they thought AMD would mention it due to consoles

#

think that was just a reaction

fickle ore
#

Ahh

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume Anyways just get an RX 5700XT when they fall in price lul

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume Anyways just get an RX 5700XT when they fall in price lul
@cursive summit yeah.... Probably will

I'd need a new psu also

cursive summit
#

Your current one is 500W?

#

Or 550W?

wheat plume
#

550

vast moss
#

Would a 550W be enough for a R5 3600 + RX 6800? 5700XT?

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume That might be enough for the whole rig tbh

#

@vast moss I would think so yeah

wheat plume
#

Might...
Aha

cursive summit
#

Unless you are OCing

#

Then defo not

wheat plume
#

Nah
I don't OC
Except the ram

vast moss
#

Not OCing yet; might consider trying it out but dunno yet

fickle ore
#

get at minimum 650w Lana

cursive summit
#

But iirc even under load the card doesn't consume above 300W

wheat plume
#

I put it up to the advertised 3200Mhz

vast moss
#

I'm still pretty satisfied with my performance

wheat plume
#

get at minimum 650w Lana
@fickle ore I also want a modular one
Cause holy shit that mess of cables in the hard drive bays :')

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume You know that modular PSUs cost a whole lot more 😄

wheat plume
#

Yeh :'( I know

reef patrol
#

#worth though

cursive summit
#

I would suggest not buying a PSU tbh and just undervolt the card or something

vast moss
#

I have a semi-mod; honestly, it's fine, and it's not terrible price imo

fickle ore
#

@wheat plume yep modular ones are best 🙂 and 650w because being lower load on the psu is better for longevity I think, also best efficiency at 50%

reef tundra
#

Who would have guessed that a larger bom results in more costs

wheat plume
#

Ahhhg

vast moss
cursive summit
#

Like I said 550W is enough

fickle ore
#

meh, 650w has a safe barrier for spikes and better efficiency more likely, while running a bit cooler

cursive summit
vast moss
#

If I keep my 1070 Ti though, I'd be at 650 W, so for that I might get a 750
Not sure if I would do that though

cursive summit
#

Lana's got money issues so she's definitely better off investing into the card

#

550W will be enough to drive the card

fickle ore
#

money issues = dont buy a new PC

cursive summit
#

Gaming > life

wheat plume
#

My 1660 can use up to 103W in full load

#

money issues = dont buy a new PC
@fickle ore I have enough GPU power to last me years!

reef tundra
#

Depends on the used power supply where it is most efficient. Typically it has best performance around 50% of its rated power

wheat plume
#

I don't play the most demanding games

cursive summit
#

@wheat plume Except you can't even 144Hz

fickle ore
#

u arent supposed to save on PSU anyway

wheat plume
#

I can in some games

fickle ore
#

its one of the most important parts

vast moss
#

I don't play the most demanding games either, unless emulated BotW counts

reef patrol
#

cries in 750W Modular platinum rated PSU

wheat plume
#

UwU

cursive summit
#

Cries in 700W 30$ Thermaltake that was bought in a Chinese thrift shop

reef patrol
vast moss
#

time to lose pc

cursive summit
#

It's holding up though

reef tundra
#

The regulation needs an load to function correctly and at very low loads the voltage might be unstable and go out of spec

cursive summit
#

Imma be dead honest, Corsair 550W Bronze died faster than 700W non certified Thermaltake

#

Though the coil whine is real bad

#

That Corsair 550W literally exploded in front of my eyes lul

reef tundra
#

But will it fail-safe or not

vast moss
#

That Corsair 550W literally exploded in front of my eyes lul
@cursive summit I have a CX550M; should I be concerned?

cursive summit
#

The one I had was a C series actually

reef tundra
#

if you like to poke the coil a lot, yes

cursive summit
#

Dunno if that's the one

fickle ore
#

I'm using a 6 year old Seasonic 660w platinum unit, thinking here if I should buy a new PSU.. Apparently PSU's are good for 50k hours at 40 celsius, mine has probably been running for 3 years at around 18-22 celsius.. Hmmh

#

5.7039729 Years = 50k hours

reef tundra
#

Usually due to the output capacitors drying up

fickle ore
#

so guess im good for another 6 years

pale sigil
#

Serious question

#

Anyone interested in a zotec 3090

#

From the uk

fickle ore
#

free? yep

pale sigil
#

Never opened normal price

fickle ore
#

mailing you my address as we speak

cursive summit
#

I bid 1$

reef tundra
#

1 old belarussian rouble

vast moss
#

3090's above my spec, also above my price range, else I...still wouldn't; it's a beast for power and case space

cursive summit
#

200 reichsmarks

reef tundra
#

a bite of bread

cursive summit
#

Half a bottle of cola

fickle ore
#

@reef tundra know if capacitors dry out only when powered or also when pc is shut?

reef tundra
#

1/6th the candy bar

cursive summit
#

Bruh why'd you do Pleasant dirty like that

#

He needs his candy

reef tundra
#

alright 2/7th then

pale sigil
#

I mean if it was my 3090 I wouldn’t be selling it

#

My friend ordered 2

#

Both came the same time

#

Even though they are like 6 weeks apart

cursive summit
#

You take monthly payments?

#

I'd be able to pay you 200 per month

reef patrol
#

You take livers?

reef tundra
#

"Friend". That left it at the store where it got disapeared

cursive summit
#

That's how my parents disappeared wtf

#

Dad?

pale sigil
#

He was very impatient and ordered it when it went in stock elsewhere lol

cursive summit
#

If he accepts monthly payments sure lul

reef tundra
#

100 instalments of 1 cent

cursive summit
#

Nah not even joking 200 euros/month

reef tundra
#

Stonks. life long 200 for a gpu

cursive summit
#

RTX 3090s cost a shit ton here

reef tundra
#

Scalpers: hello there. want to make it even better?

reef patrol
#

Same with 3070s here.

#

They are priced at what 3080s sold for when they were in stock.

cursive summit
#

I blame 21% VAT

#

And of course local shops scalping

#

Why am I supposed to buy them locally and "support the businesses" when they cost 400$ extra? 😄

reef tundra
#

Buy them locally from china

cursive summit
#

Just download the card

timid chasm
#

aw it was up briefly on amd site 😦

pale sigil
#

So

cursive summit
#

Get Scalpered

pale sigil
#

Do we think I’m getting a 6800xt

#

Today

timid chasm
#

page not found after I tried to add to cart lol

cursive summit
#

Nope

timid chasm
#

You all trying multiple sites or focusing on one?

cursive summit
#

Whichever goes live first

#

Obv I'm not buying, no money

reef patrol
#

FFffuuuuu-

vast moss
#

My friend gave into the scalpers and got a 3080 for over 1500 CAD

reef patrol
#

Shops here received maybe 30% of promised stock.

#

Only 30! XT cards.

ashen spindle
#

lol

timid chasm
#

bums

cursive summit
#

Microcenter got 2 XT's

ashen spindle
#

well, hope it means more stock next week for AiB models

vast moss
#

Only 30! XT cards.
@reef patrol 265252859812191058636308480000000?

ashen spindle
#

though since you want to watercool maybe not the best hopes in your case

cursive summit
#

AiB stock was rumoured to be great

reef patrol
#

Nope.

pale sigil
#

There are only 2 places confirmed in the uk

reef patrol
#

AIB also said they received a LOT less cards than promised.

ashen spindle
#

that rumor is a rumor you just made up

cursive summit
#

Not at all actually

timid chasm
#

Anybody transition to a G604 from a 12 button mmo mouse?

pale sigil
#

I heard a rumour someone heard a rumour that someone heard a rumour about rumours

reef patrol
#

I'm quoting official PR here at least 😄

pale sigil
#

There are conflicting reports

#

Hard to say what’s what but it’s pretty obvious it’s gonna be a shit show

timid chasm
#

conflict this

reef patrol
#

Yeah AIBs saying they got fewer chips than promised seems perfectly in line with AMD not being able to supply enough cards themselves.

pale sigil
#

I just want my shit

#

I have 2 5600xs pre ordered now

timid chasm
#

goood, gimme 1

pale sigil
#

For the low low price of £310 sure

#

(I’m serious)

timid chasm
#

That wouldn't be gimmeing though

pale sigil
#

I mean

#

It’s giving you the opportunity to buy one at a good price

#

Including delivery

timid chasm
#

If I get a 6800 xt I'll consider it

pale sigil
#

👍 wait actually

#

You’re in the us right

#

If so delivery might be a little more

timid chasm
#

OHHH CHANGIN THE DEAL HUH

#

OK DARTH VADER

pale sigil
#

HHah you can’t expect me to pay the entire delivery cost hahahaha

#

To the US

timid chasm
#

just wrap it in floaty things and put it on a lil floaty boat

pale sigil
#

Hahaha oh god

#

@timid chasm you in Canada or US

#

Haha ye no

#

£20

reef patrol
#

That's par for course here to the rest of the EU.

#

It's why Quinn needs to buy at least 2-3 things to be worth the deal.

cursive summit
#

@pale sigil Are you charging 310 pounds for a 5600XT?

timid chasm
#

that's about what I spend to ship anything with value in the continental US

pale sigil
#

5600x duh

cursive summit
#

Oh the CPU

pale sigil
#

Mansen

#

Sending stuff is pretty cheap in the Eu

cursive summit
#

You're not wrong

pale sigil
#

Usually costs between 5-15 most

#

I’ve sent loads to people

reef patrol
#

20 pounds is 20 pounds 😄

cursive summit
#

Except Wooting shipping, that's 20 euros

reef patrol
#

And you literally laughed at 20£ which is what I responded to 😄

cursive summit
#

Or was before it changed

pale sigil
#

It was always like £10

ashen spindle
#

it very much depends on how fast you want it, what company and what size, you aint shipping a pc case for the same as a cpu

cursive summit
#

Dunno that was the cheapest shipping they had

#

And I don't live in a third world country either 😄

ashen spindle
#

wooting did get better shipping for most places couple months back

cursive summit
#

I am aware

pale sigil
#

Where are you vexxed

cursive summit
pale sigil
#

Ah that explains it

cursive summit
#

Why am I excluded from the "low shipping cost" list 😄

#

We have DHL, DPD, Itella, UPS, etc

#

We deserve low shipping

cursive summit
#

So they are comparing it to.. 5700XT

#

Which is more comparable to 6700XT price point wise

timid chasm
#

so no quality settings?

#

and AC: Odyssey lol 85 on 1080p and 1440p with 69 4k

#

wtf ubi

#

but valhalla is 1080 87 53 respectively

#

ashen spindle
#

someone is in a lot of trouble at aorus

#

they clearly didnt check timezones

pale sigil
#

Shit benchmarks anyway

ashen spindle
#

#

Well an AIB.

#

They literally produce cards. They should know better xD

timid chasm

reef patrol
#

I was in such a goddamned state of panic.

#

First store - I refresh the site constantly a minute before it goes on sale. The second I see the product, they're already gone.

#

Talk about some stock exchange latency right there.

pale sigil
#

WHAT A COMPLETE JOKE

ashen spindle

timid chasm

Tfw you have a decent functional card and you are upset you can't buy something

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah just wait a week or two for the AIBs that supposedly have a lot more availability

timid chasm
#

since when do they have a lot more?

#

aren't they all saying it sucks too?

crimson wigeon
#

Probably

cursive summit
#

They are supposed to have a lot more availability

#

I can't find the tweet, but someone tweeted that aib models are decently available

#

Eh it's quarantine

#

Give companies a break

timid chasm
#

aibs already sold out on newegg

ashen spindle
#

#

air launch

reef patrol
#

It's not quite fair to judge them yet.

#

The AIB custom cards are a week away.

#

THEN we can start flinging tonnes of shit.

ashen spindle
#

yeah, after all it was not AMD's decision how they AiBs would split up their chips

reef patrol
#

Oh it was.

ashen spindle
#

they probably told them to not have 0 allocated from launch

#

but I doubt it was a set number?

reef patrol
#

AIBs aren't allowed to sell yet.

#

Only AMD stock cards.

ashen spindle
#

ok, AMD sells chips to AiB, what I meant, AMD did most likely not say "you need at least 30stock cards from the 100 chips we send you"

#

thats what I expect

reef patrol
#

They may have tbh.

ashen spindle
#

yea probably something like "dont do 0, at least x"

#

its a guess

reef patrol
#

But my original point stands - People aren't judging nVidia's paper launch by looking at their own FE cards alone. AIB custom cards were included in that.

ashen spindle
#

yeye

#

I was agreeing with you

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

also, order me one if your danish site gets stock before we do lol

pale sigil
#

TPU released their 5950X review

ashen spindle
#

you dont need this one, you could get a previous gen one etc.

zenith sonnet
#

Looks quite good

pale sigil
#

no?

ashen spindle
#

yes you could

#

a 2080ti not good enough?

reef patrol
#

Now comes the FOMO of not having RTX 😄

#

Wonder if I can swindle someone intro trading their 3080

pale sigil
#

Man.... ngl

ashen spindle
#

why not first see how well RTRT works on yours ?

pale sigil
#

DLSS is so damn good

reef patrol
#

Don't have to. The reviews paint a pretty clear picture 😄

#

AMD's "DLSS" might help, but they're still behind even with DLSS turned off.

halcyon moss
#

raytracing is the only thing thats really subpar

ashen spindle
#

zzz mindfactory are so slow in listing new cards

#

just list them and get it done with

zenith sonnet
#

I don't 'trust' ray-tracing tests on games that released before Ampere/RDNA2

ashen spindle
#

well I didnt get to see a review yet

#

I assume it's between turing and ampere in RT resutls?

pale sigil
#

more cards shall be available from 25th November to pre-order

sureeee aPES_LulLaugh

ashen spindle
#

yes, 25th is AiB release date for the 5000th time we mention this now

reef patrol
pale sigil
#

fixed

reef patrol
#

It's true though.

#

All of the custom cooler cards are on sale from the 25th only.

#

So... second chance.

ashen spindle
#

there will be more stock than today as well we just dont know how much more that is

#

could be 1% more for all we know

pale sigil
#

thats what im dreading

#

being over 700

reef patrol
#

I would imagine it would be at least 4-5x what we saw today statisically.

#

Maybe not on each site. But we have a handful or more of AIBs.

ashen spindle
#

ye

reef patrol
#

But now there's more people who want to buy.

timid chasm
#

yeah, RIP

zenith sonnet
#

With 'trust', I don't believe them to be an accurate representation of performance

ashen spindle
#

Mansen you said the revies are clear, can you answer my question now? :p RT performance between turing and ampere ?

#

or better/worse?

zenith sonnet
#

Not a single bad frametime graph for RDNA2, much better than Ampere

pale sigil
#

prob gonna get my cpu

#

before i get my gpu

reef patrol
#

TLDR;

ashen spindle
#

ehhhh minecraft rtx and quake rtx cant really count

reef patrol
#

Sure they can.

ashen spindle
#

they are made by nvidia themselves

zenith sonnet
#

RTX

pale sigil
#

welp

#

i want a 3080 now

#

😄

ashen spindle
#

lol sure

#

buy one then

pale sigil
#

not related to that pic mansen sent

reef patrol
#

RT timestmap.

timid chasm
#

Doesn't AMD have their own thing they're doing for RT?

reef patrol
#

Moer games. Compares with 2080TI and 3080

reef patrol
#

Doesn't AMD have their own thing they're doing for RT?
@timid chasm That's what they're using.

#

AMD's DLSS competitor won't be out for a while though.

ashen spindle
#

so still a bit above turing, as I expected

timid chasm
#

That's what everybody is using or what HU is using?

zenith sonnet
#

@reef patrol How does the 3080 do in Hangar 21 compared to the 6800 XT?

pale sigil
#

amd cards seem to be quite bad with raytracing

#

even not comparing to dlss

#

which tbh doesn't matter that much

ashen spindle
#

That's what everybody is using or what HU is using?
@timid chasm you "use" it by using one of the amd cards thats all lol

crimson wigeon
#

Not a big surprise considering how it works

zenith sonnet
#

There isn't anything to compare RT on a fair ground yet!

reef patrol
#

I won't miss RT this generation. Even for CB. It's a nice to have, not need to have thing.

#

Legion looked great with it on, but my 2080 chugged even with DLSS on.

#

I'd rather have 144FPS at 1440P more stable than dips.

timid chasm
#

yeah I can't stand dips

#

that shit drives me insane

#

That's why I spend more time altering settings than playing the fucking game

zenith sonnet
ashen spindle
#

oh well, guess I'll try again next week, at least gives me time to make sure there are no big issues with amd

#

at least stock should come back faster than on nvidias side

pale sigil
#

i doubnt i was able to email benfore so many people

#

for ebuyer

#

but it would be nice

zenith sonnet
#

I'm hype

#

Those frametime graphs on the 6800 are dope

pale sigil
#

im sad

timid chasm
#

I'd like to see the 6900 xt not be a 3090 wannabe

silent latch
#

i want this new hardware, it's a shame it's just... not available

pale sigil
#

pretty much

cursive summit
#

I'm waiting for Super resolution

crimson wigeon
#

So do I but I already waited so long what's another couple weeks

cursive summit
#

Maybe my 5700 will get support for it

zenith sonnet
#

5950X still MiA

pale sigil
#

i really wanted to get one beforer the d2 raid

#

haha

#

gutted

silent latch
#

i'm fine waiting for the graphics cards, i'm in Linux so the drivers won't support it right away anyway...

#

but still...

ashen spindle
#

I mean I'm surprised anyone here got one, thats above average

pale sigil
#

i think omly Mansen did

ashen spindle
#

thats how many people are ATM looking at one card on mindfactory and I bet they have <500 total

silent latch
#

D:

ashen spindle
#

yeah and I'm surprised he got one

pale sigil
#

from what i gathered shops only have up to like 30

zenith sonnet
reef patrol
#

Yeah that's probably the most impressive thing.

silent latch
#

that is pretty damn wild

reef patrol
#

Especially considering how poorly AMD did in previous gens.

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah that's probably the most impressive thing.
@reef patrol
Tbh, I find the frametime graphs to be most impressive

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah pretty surprising that now Nvidia cards are the ones devouring the watts

reef sluice
#

oh sheet

#

that's actually pretty alluring

#

damn

#

if AMD have something similar to RTX voice then maybe, as I started looking at that for a use someone told me

zenith sonnet
#

It's not even that Nvidia cards are chugging the watts
6800 has TWICE the perf/watt of a 5700

reef sluice
#

(and it's fine on any GPU that can run it for that)

#

he used a 1050

#

yeah, one of the things I was thinking of it for was efficiency

zenith sonnet
#

RTX voice isn't unique enough to be a selling point. And there are alternatives

reef sluice
#

all I need is audio routing

#

idgaf about noise suppresion

#

which is why it's a little awkward

ashen spindle
#

well the early versions of rtx voice and such dont use tensor cores thats why it works on older cards for a bigger performance hits

#

but yeah, I wish amd had that too

reef sluice
#

it's for recording shmup replays while talking in VC

zenith sonnet
#

Why does a GPU driver need noise suppression? Just get one of the softwares that are available?

reef sluice
#

as I don't need noise suppression at all anyway

#

like I have a fan, but it's far enough away and quiet enough when I do use it that it doesn't get picked up

#

the only time I could want it is when I get shouted at and threatened or harassed while talking

ashen spindle
#

well, time to start watching reviews I guess

#

not gonna get one today anymore I assume

zenith sonnet
#

Glad I've PLENTY of time to wait for the cards

#

Damn Noctua

cursive summit
#

@reef sluice There are software for playing with mic input

#

You don't need RTX voice

reef sluice
#

yeah, I expected as much

#

I think he used it as a secondary effect as he needs the suppresion

#

but I wasn't sure of any other software solutions anyway

ashen spindle
#

virtual audio cable is a popular one for rerouting and such

cursive summit
#

Iirc audacity is one of the more audio focused software thatbgas suppression

reef sluice
#

as most people use hardware solutions, atleast that's all that ever shows up usually

cursive summit
#

But also there's a dedicated one I forgot the name of

reef sluice
#

virtual audio cable is a popular one for rerouting and such
ah yeah, I heard of that before

#

also, it isn't mic

#

it's audio out

crimson wigeon
#

Don't a lot of people like VoiceMeeter Banana

reef patrol
#

virtual audio cable is a popular one for rerouting and such
@ashen spindle Now there's something to trigger Mansen. I remember this being needed to get sound in Witcher 3 on release.

reef sluice
#

which is the awkward one

reef patrol
#

And it SUUUUUUCKED.

ashen spindle
#

lul

reef sluice
#

iirc one fix with no software is set default to an unused one

#

and then record the unused output and set discord to your normal output

#

wait

reef patrol
#

So Witcher 3 had issues with 7.1 setups. My headphones had that fancy virtual surround...but forced. Couldn't turn it to stereo.

So I had to fake a stereo output and feed it into the headphones. But VAC produced a weird hissing static noise and output in low quality mono.

reef sluice
#

I just fucking realised a super low level solution just by randomly talking ffs

#

(fucking awkward though)

#

that and psure his setup means he hears both which was what stopped me before

cursive summit
#

YO WHAT

#

Fuck I can't share it

#

Too big for discord

reef sluice

they'll work

occasionally it refuses to embed

#

Nah it's a gif

#

This thing is sick

reef sluice
cursive summit
#

It looks better than the Galaxy Fold's

reef sluice
#

hahahaha

#

I feel it won't work just like that, or there'll be stuff you can't tell

#

if reviewers get it and that's wrong though

#

then yeah, looks pretty hot

pale sigil
#

Aged like fine wine

cursive summit
#

It's real

pale sigil
#

i dont get why its not showing on the uk amd site?

reef patrol
#

No direct sales probably.

pale sigil
#

was there just no stock for the uk

reef patrol
#

US only.

ashen spindle
#

again, wait for next week before we throw rocks

cursive summit
#

Damn this concept is sick

#

Though I would want to know how sand and debris proof the mechanism is

#

I love the idea though

#

Much better than foldable phones

#

Fml I might skip out on a new phone for now and see how the Oppo is priced

#

Iirc it's a budget brand

reef sluice
#

imagine us actually getting stock of PC parts

#

I remember some good fun looking at some components before rona

zenith sonnet
reef sluice
#

what's the 6800xt priced at again?

ashen spindle
#

650 msro

zenith sonnet
#

650

ashen spindle
#

msrp*

#

but you aint getting it for that price anywhere aside amds own side

reef sluice
#

oof, that's not terrible

ashen spindle
#

so for like 10 cards if you got lucky

reef sluice
#

yeah

#

for now

#

it should get stock at some point

#

unless we get miners again kappa

ashen spindle
#

thankfully this time it isnt that great in mining

silent latch
#

i hear miners are SUPER HYPE for these new cards

reef sluice
#

someone mentioned NVENC encoder and I realised that is something that I need to think about

#

so did I

#

there were rumors

ashen spindle
#

nope, fake rumor from before launch

reef sluice
#

but guessing it was a bust

#

pog

#

very good

ashen spindle
#

also, nvenc is nvidia, forgot the name of amd's counterpart

#

but it is there and works since rdna1

reef sluice
#

supposedly AMDs one is pretty shitty

#

it works but isn't as good

zenith sonnet
#

If you want good, you CPU encode anyway

reef sluice
#

I spose

#

I would probably be going for CPU up this year or next anyways

zenith sonnet
reef sluice
#

currently 1660ti + 2600x

reef patrol
#

That's not a bad gaming rig.

reef sluice
#

it's pnice

#

1660ti and 2600x end up with min bottleneck on eachother usually

#

but just want a bit more... idk,hard to resist the draw of new hardware I guess

reef patrol
#

Wife has a 9600K / 1660TI. No complaints there.

cursive summit
#

Can someone tell me why 6800XT's are being sold en masse for a price that's lover than MSRP?

reef patrol
#

Although she only plays Sims 3 and Cities Skylines on it 😄

reef sluice
#

wait what

reef patrol
#

Where? News to me.

cursive summit
#

Ebay of course

reef patrol
#

All the ones I've seen in retail were more.

#

Fakes xD

cursive summit
#

629€ for one from alright rated seller

reef sluice
#

629 is retail

#

lmao

#

maybe a little more

cursive summit
#

6800XT?

reef sluice
#

although it does end up 1:1 usually

#

650 USD psure

#

so 630 euro

#

maybe a little less

cursive summit
reef sluice
#

think it should be 580 euro maybe 600

#

and then the extra is tax

#

in the UK for PC stuff I assume 1:1 USD to GBP

#

even though the currency value is vastly different

ashen spindle
#

because why do you still care about ebay prices that are either fake or will get blown up to not have scalpers make money

reef patrol
#

I paid 780€ for mine.

#

Which is a bit more than the lowest price in denmark.

cursive summit
#

Oh

reef sluice
#

now I'm confused

cursive summit
#

The seller's selling a printed image of the card

#

Bruh wtf is with these image scams?

ashen spindle
#

yeah of course, even if its legit they wouldnt have cards of it yet

#

idk why you are wasting your time looking through ebay

cursive summit
#

To look at the prices?

#

Seeing the world burn is fun

ashen spindle
#

yeah you will see scams and prices that get inflated, that is neither new nor unexpected

cursive summit
#

Thanks for explaining that grandma 👌

ashen spindle
#

didnt know having a functioning braincell makes one old

cursive summit
#

Aw, edgy

cursive summit
#

Damn I understand having fake listings, but sellings printed out graphics card renders is a new one

#

I guess that removes the illegal out of illegal scam

reef sluice
#

nop

#

not new from what I know

#

selling printouts is a very common and old practice

ashen spindle
#

people have literally been doing that pretty much since ebay existed

reef sluice
#

people used to do that with automated rentals aswell lmao

cursive summit
#

Eh I guess I've never really tuned into ebay during a big launch

#

This one would be the first time

#

You learn new things every day

ashen spindle
#

not even a launch thing that people try to sell prints of the product

cursive summit
#

Never seen it prior

#

Hence why I'm flabbergasted about it

old marlin
#

wtf is this

#

I thought it is 2020

ashen spindle
#

it is sold out

#

click on the article

old marlin
#

ah

#

one is reserved

ashen spindle
#

that is quite the scam price though

#

thats almost worse than the 3080 price hikes

old marlin
#

ye

ashen spindle
#

820 and not even free shipping

reef patrol
#

Definitely a hike.

#

But not a big hike from what I had to pay xD

ashen spindle
#

at leas you get free shipping I hope lol

reef patrol
#

Yep.

old marlin
#

it is free shipping if I can pick it up in store WeSmart

ashen spindle
#

ok fuck off mindfactory

pale sigil
#

this gives me some hope

ashen spindle
#

mindfactory listed them one after another to not have all be gone instantly

#

thats nice I guess

#

but they still didn't list all models zzz

#

like just be done with it

pale sigil
#

hmm

#

they repsonded to me

#

asking me to dm

#

but they have dm disabled

#

oml

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

Just buy an RTX 2080Ti at this point

#

Same perf, full availability

ashen spindle
#

no?

chrome estuary

I was gonna say

reef patrol
#

Get a 3070 if you don't want high end waiting.

#

btw

#

@pale sigil

reef sluice
#

wtf

ashen spindle
#

MUH DLSS

reef sluice
#

DLSS is whatever to me

#

as quite a few others think, native or nah

reef patrol
#

Doesn't really matter. Linus and others took the time.

pale sigil
#

its about the future lad

reef sluice
#

I spose

#

but odds are there'd be new cards by the time you consistently would enable DLSS

#

as this'd quite possibly push devs to add it

#

but I don't feel we'd have an insane amount in twoish™️ years

ashen spindle
#

if its about the future even more reason to go with AMD to support the non closed standards

silent latch
#

RT and DLSS are sweet technologies but they're not driving me to buy one or the other card at the current time

pale sigil
#

I just wanna get my hands on what I can

#

Tbh

silent latch
#

yeah that's fair

pale sigil
#

Really hoping my ebuyer email was in time and confirmed

vagrant marsh
#

holy crap. the biggest webshop in the netherlands desided to simply not sell them 6800's cause stock is so terribly low.

Oh gosh darn

I got HDR to look good

Bloody amazing in fact

how do you make hdr look good

#

@ashen spindle Whats wrong with GN these days? HU and LTT testing shows a big difference for SAM and for GN its a +- situation

ashen spindle
#

uhh are you sure we saw the same video

#

hitman/sottr got them quite a nice boost

fickle ore
#

I saw no difference with GN testing, -perf on some, +perf on some for few %, with HU and LTT there is big boost like 10% for nearly every title

ashen spindle
#

it's literally 111 vs 100 on hitman2 for example

fickle ore
#

HU is stupid tho, he doesnt show 6800 XT with SAM enabled vs 3080

#

at the beginning

ashen spindle
#

213 vs 205 in shadow

fickle ore
#

thats massive vs couple fps on GN

ashen spindle
#

it's 3% vs 6%? idk thats not that big of a difference

fickle ore
#

only GN shows perf regression with SAM I think?

#

maybe he has fucked up setup

ashen spindle
#

they dont show regression

fickle ore
#

what

ashen spindle
#

he literally says in the cases where it's "worse" that it's within run to run variance, aka that run just had .2 fps less or whatever much it was

#

494.9 fps vs 494.5fps is basically the same

fickle ore
#

he shows regression on many 1% lows, by 5-10 fps

ashen spindle
#

with almost identical .1% lows and very similar 1% lows

#

that is basically the same

fickle ore
#

ya but not seeing that on HU/LTT

#

but shows in many games on GN test

ashen spindle
#

I'll be honest I didn't even look at that, that is such a miniscule change that it basically doesn't matter

#

like that's just in normal run variance

fickle ore
#

it's just weird.. wonder if GN has motherboard vendor bios issues, driver issue or why would SAM increase cpu calls when its meant to decrease them?

#

Yeah could be run variance

ashen spindle
#

like you're talking about a 3% difference in the 1% lows that get counted over not that long of a run

fickle ore
#

its pretty big when its -3 to -5% regression on GN vs +10% increase on others in same game

#

that is statistically significant

#

I think his setup is flawed based on that, should rerun tests

ashen spindle
#

for a difference in the 1% lows? hell no

cursive summit
#

Starfield.. oh wait, Starlink is sick!

fickle ore
#

feel free to disagree, but that IS statistically significant difference from others 😛

ashen spindle
#

how can it be statistically significant if there is not enough data to compare

fickle ore
#

well if he only makes 1 test ruch per game that is already fucked

#

I assume that's a minimum of 3 runs and their average per game

#

but maybe I expect too much

ashen spindle
#

in theory that should not be needed, as regular test's show variance in a run, then you can see if it goes outside that variance or stays, unless you expect it to fluctuate then you dont need to run the new cases like 3 times every game

fickle ore
#

that isn't testing variance within a system or outside factors, so you always need atleast 3

#

but idk how he does it

#

1 run per game is clearly lazy

ashen spindle
#

no I'm saying you establish a baseline and then you can do 1 run with sam on. rtx on, whatever you want to test and based on your previous runs you know if it's in or out of variance etc.

fickle ore
#

you assume test setups are perfect accuracy with no outside variance😄

ashen spindle
#

they control ram up to tertiaries, they control ambient room temperature, what else do you want to make sure stays the same?

#

and thats why the baseline is there, to catch general variance, so you can see what the expected deviation is

fickle ore
#

Windows, scheduled tasks, AV, service routines, etc, etc

#

Driver bugs causing high ISR/DPC counts, hitches etc

ashen spindle
#

look, the 1% lows are data of about 100 frames

#

are you really trying to tell me a 100 vs 103% result over 100 frames is relevant in literally any way

latent mural
#

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between the wooting lekker two and the wooting two HE

ashen spindle
#

lekker is limited run, fancy colors, higher quality keycaps, braided cable

#

also delivers a bit earlier

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle it can, which is why GN has conflicting data.. not very scientific way

#

but the others might run only once per game so ehh

ashen spindle
#

look yes, that data is interresting, should be realiably blah blah
if you actually make a big deal about what is effectively like what, 15 millisecond over the span of 3 minutes? on launch day you focus way to much on theory

#

if I had noticed that I probably would've just thought to myself to keep it in mind for other moments, if the deviation is bigger, otherwise see if it changes in future (perhaps next week already with AiB cards) and not really care about it more

fickle ore
#

theres no need to get personal about this.. just finding it weird whats the cause of GN results vs HU/LTT

ashen spindle
#

I'm more confused why anandtech didn't put out a review

#

didn't mean for any of that to sound personal, just that I personally think that's weird priorities

pale sigil
#

Why is this gens amd cards so ugly

#

xD

ashen spindle
#

you rather want a blower fan ?

pale sigil
#

xD fair enough

ashen spindle
#

hello discord, where is the preview...

fickle ore
#

Yeah it's fine.. I mean GN could be the only one who's right here and others are wrong.. It's possible. Just interested in what's causing the regression on his tests and/or why he has that high variance vs others... Not really anything about priorities for myself. Just wanting to know whether SAM has driver issues, whether the tech itself has minor cpu perf hit, when I thought it should alleviate cpu bottlenecks..

Also I'm slightly biased against GN in general 😛

cursive summit
#

No wonder you are always wrong

pale sigil
#

Quick

#

Palit vs Zotec

#

@ashen spindle

ashen spindle
#

????? idfk

#

either could be shit

reef patrol
#

AIBs are a nightmare for watercooling.

ashen spindle
#

either could be good

pale sigil
#

i dont watercool

reef patrol
#

Cause you need to find out if each card is reference.

#

And you do it blind.

ashen spindle
#

I assume its not an amd card?

pale sigil
#

there is a 90 quid difference

ashen spindle
#

3080:?

cursive summit
#

Fuck's Zotec?

#

It's Zotac

pale sigil
#

yes

#

3080

cursive summit
#

Zotac I'd say

#

Palit only makes good Radeon shit

pale sigil
#

£749.99 vs £839.99

cursive summit
#

Well pick the cheaper one

ashen spindle
#

get the cheaper one

cursive summit
#

You are not going to get 90 pounds worth of extra performance either way

pale sigil
#

thermals

ashen spindle
#

get the cheaper one if you are in a rush and dont want to compare/look up reviews

cursive summit
#

What's the exact part?

#

Or it's the stock 3080?

ashen spindle
#

stock is only sold by nvidia, if you mean the short pcb with one fan on each side

cursive summit
#

Yep

#

Ahh yeah they made that one exclusive

reef patrol
#

stock is only sold by nvidia, if you mean the short pcb with one fan on each side
@ashen spindle BestBuy

#

nVidia stopped selling cards.

#

To keep it fair... fair for who? The US apparently. Fuck everyone else 😄

cursive summit
#

@pale sigil Wait which Palit version are you buying?

ashen spindle
#

well yeah, but they are marked as nvidia still, it's unlike the reference amd cards not sold with a AiB's name

reef patrol
#

Sure. Founders Edition is nVidia/AMD only.

cursive summit

@pale sigil And Zotac?

cursive summit
