Usually, on first setup, so is step 1 to flash bios, step two to install M.2 firmware, step three to install windows, and step 4 to install the M.2 controller, if you're installing on a M.2, U.2, or PCIe drive.

#

Sometimes things run really bad because they run on a universal controller, instead of the one required for them.

#

Better than that the good old days of nothing until you install software.

pallid cedar
#

some motherboards have a warning that certain M.2 slots have less priority over certain Sata slots for SSD/HDDs

sick reef
#

Probably not a problem.

pallid cedar
#

so if you use an M.2 slot, your sata slot 3, for example, won't work or vice versa.

sick reef
#

If it ran on PCH it'd kill the board.

pallid cedar
#

not at all, my roommate's mobo runs this way

#

it's more of a thing on small form factor boards

#

micro and mini

sick reef
#

It's more a thing of budget boards shrug

#

Because limited bandwith

pallid cedar
#

that too, yes

sick reef
#

People should regardless read their manuals more. My board per example has weird thing where it will always prioritize CPU lanes to the M.2 slot in specific set-ups, which made me choke my board to death a few times

pallid cedar
#

^ yeah

sick reef
#

And you can have both on PCH, but not the PCIe slot on CPU and the M.2 on PCH

#

Odd design decision, but I just switched slot when I could

pallid cedar
#

isn't PCH only Intel?

#

wait I'm thinking of the platform controller hub lol

sick reef
#

Usually, periferals are dedicated a specific part of processing power, and that includes all USB, I/O, and SATA.

#

And sometimes M.2 and PCIe slots.

#

Varies greatly, obviously

#

High core and lane capabilities, like AMD, can offer great PCIe possibility, and thus have no need for large specific reductions.

pallid cedar
#

I've only built 2 AMD systems, I have no real Intel experience

#

but there are some crossover

sick reef
#

44-lane, whilst musing in theory, as in example of mine, can run a decent 16/16/8 and 4 PCH lanes

#

But slot space is 16-16-16-16-4-8.

pallid cedar
#

you'd take a hit on bandwith though, wouldn't you?

#

or I guess that would depend on the board in use

sick reef
#

Not really, that'd depend on the rest of the stuff, mostly.

true mountain
#

Labcat, I looked up my mobo specs, will this make any diff?

#

And firmware is up to date btw, figured I'd answer that from earlier.

sick reef
#

And controller?

pallid cedar
#

ah, it tells you there that SATA 4/5 are unavailable when using an M.2, but the M.2 should take priority, not sure why it shows less performance :/

#

but it could be a bandwith issue

true mountain
#

Will it say something about the controller on the specs? I have no clue what that is tbh :/

sick reef
#

First off, M.2 controller.

#

It should be in the list of devices.

#

In the setting where you can see such.

#

Or just install it, again if it is already installed

#

My own setup would have no issues what so ever with bandwith in any shape or form. PCH not included, but generally not throttled, even with many drives.

#

When I did throttle it, it was because I put an Intel 900P PCIe drive on the PCH lane.

#

And yeah, as soon as it tried anything, everything else died.

fleet canopy
#

So I've seen timings and CAS Latency on RAM, what is it even?

true mountain
#

Is the reason it's slower than advertised is because my mobo is pcie 2x2?

#

I'm assuming userbenchmark isn't very accurate, but this is what the official app for the m.2 told me for results.

fleet canopy
#

I don't think userbenchmark would be inaccurate

#

The web wants to get the most accurate info for you

true mountain
#

Haha well userbenchmark put me at 551/456 and the app 827/772

fleet canopy
#

Also is good for those wanting to buy any PC parts for upgrade GWczoLoliShrug

#

Hm

late sorrel
#

Userbenchmark is as accurate as you let it be

#

Userbenchmark is as accurate as the application can make it

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

It tries to get the most accurate for you

late sorrel
#

Say: I'm playing a game and using a lot of CPU, my ranking won't be as good as if I had all tabs closed and was running like linux

true mountain
#

When I did both I just had the app open ๐Ÿ˜„

#

whichever app was benchmarking

fleet canopy
#

I wouldn't think a single program wouldn't affect too much

pallid cedar
true mountain
#

But yeah I ran it the other day playing r6s and let me tell you, everything tested poor haha

late sorrel
#

In that case, well I would go with the official app.

true mountain
#

That's what I figured spartan, was just trying to confirm ty

late sorrel
#

But then again, taking the average of everything is also good

pallid cedar
#

if it's not updated, maybe see if there is a new BIOS update for your board

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

And update drivers

true mountain
#

Do you go through your bios to see for updates?

pallid cedar
#

no you need to flash the mobo with a FAT32 formatted USB with the update on it

#

go to the motherboard's website for support downloads

true mountain
#

Well I can tell you I haven't done that since I got the mobo haha

late sorrel
#

well I'd suggest doing that

true mountain
#

So there's probably an update somewhere lmao

pallid cedar
#

usually you don't need to update a BIOS, only if something isn't working properly

#

so def give that s try

late sorrel
#

It's still worth doing once a year in my opinion

sick reef
#

Seems to just be about a setting.

pallid cedar
#

most likely

late sorrel
#

It's not required, I just prefer to stay current

true mountain
#

Is there settings I can look at to see if I' mdoing something wrong?

#

I can provide plenty of screenshots ๐Ÿ˜‰

pallid cedar
#

hard to tell without being in front of your screen really

#

I would imagine the default userbench run to be accurate

late sorrel
#

I'd suggest telling us steps before you do them

#

But yeah, there's not much that we could do sans physically being there.

true mountain
#

Haven't done anything but run benchmarks and update the ssd firmware Mirror's

late sorrel
#

that's good

pallid cedar
#

did you restart your pc since installing drivers?

late sorrel
#

firmware is nice

#

oh yeah

true mountain
#

So I have F7, is it worth to update the F8b?

late sorrel
#

I always forget you have to -reboot

true mountain
#

Yes spartan, it auto restarted

pallid cedar
#

k, just gotta ask ๐Ÿ˜›

true mountain
#

Considering f8 is beta?

#

idk :p

late sorrel
#

So wait

#

F8D is beta?

true mountain
#

I guess so haha, I have f7 installed

pallid cedar
#

hmm

late sorrel
#

that's also really old for a firmware update

#

2016

true mountain
#

Yeah my mobo is a bit old.

pallid cedar
#

how old is the board?

true mountain
#

lmao

#

Built it in 2015.

pallid cedar
#

that might be your problem lol

urban gulch
#

2015

true mountain
#

hahaha

#

yikes.

urban gulch
#

wait, so what am i missing, what's wrong?

true mountain
#

very low speeds on my m.2

#

^

fleet canopy
#

M.2 SSD slow

true mountain
#

getting 800 read/write

late sorrel
#

his ssd isn't going as fast as it's supposed to

#

whoops

urban gulch
#

what m2?

#

name

true mountain
#

970 evopluis

#

plus

pallid cedar
#

you're not going to get the highest M.2 speeds from a new EVO in an old mobo ๐Ÿ˜›

#

bandwith restrictions

urban gulch
#

^

true mountain
#

You might be right ๐Ÿคฃ

fleet canopy
#

Kek

urban gulch
#

it's the motherboard

sick reef
#

The thread talked about the same series of M.2.

#

And that guy solved it in bios.

pallid cedar
#

but he never stated what mobo he ran

#

most likely a newer model

fleet canopy
#

kek

#

Yeah

sick reef
#

6-series.

true mountain
#

My bios isn't out of date, so I'd assume that it's just from being old.

sick reef
#

lulWut as if it matters fully.

urban gulch
#

pretty much jonny

true mountain
#

me, not knowing anything about anything.

#

:p

pallid cedar
#

sorry, he did state the model of his mobo msi godlike gaming carbon

urban gulch
#

i'm surprised that that mb even has m2

sick reef
#

Messing with the settings in bios, if you knew how to, could fix it.

true mountain
#

Haha I made sure it had m2 before I went and bought it, I was pretty surprised too.

pallid cedar
#

M.2 is as old as 2014 I believe, but not with those speeds haha

true mountain
#

Anybody want to recommend a mobo then ๐Ÿ™‚

sick reef
#

It's a selling point of the board, so not suprising in the least.

pallid cedar
#

^

fleet canopy
#

What CPU then?

true mountain
#

i7 4790k

urban gulch
#

msi z270 gaming pro carbon

true mountain
#

no judge ๐Ÿ˜‰

late sorrel
#

oh that's spicy

true mountain
#

It still does me great

late sorrel
#

I can imagine

fleet canopy
#

i7-4790K isn't bad

sick reef
#

I had the same CPU. It's great.

fleet canopy
#

Overclocked, its neat

urban gulch
#

it is

pallid cedar
#

should be just fine

true mountain
#

Had no reason to OC tbh

#

And don't see the reason personally

urban gulch
#

better fps!

#

more heat!

fleet canopy
#

OCing the CPU give yeah

true mountain
#

Wooo!

urban gulch
#

win win

true mountain
#

all the heat!

sick reef
#

But as said. Should probably be a setting in bios about a setup to fix the speeds.

fleet canopy
#

Well

urban gulch
#

what mb you got jonny?

fleet canopy
#

If you don't OC the CPU, then some GPUs may not run 100% load kek

#

So OC is great basically

pallid cedar
#

my gpu rarely runs 100% haha I can barely get it to 97%

fleet canopy
#

kek

late sorrel
#

my 2600 has had no issues

#

I literally don't have anything that needs 97%

fleet canopy
#

Just the most OC you can and you'll be fine off basically

pallid cedar
#

I have my 2700 at 4.0GHz

late sorrel
#

ooooo

#

fancy

urban gulch
#

keep in mind that the m2 is standard nvme

late sorrel
#

I think I may uprade in a few years to like a 4700x-style thing

#

because then I'll really not need to worry for 10 years

pallid cedar
#

I'm hoping not ot have to upgrade anything for at least 4-5 years lol I only finished my build in June

urban gulch
pallid cedar

^

urban gulch
#

"M.2 for SSDs drives with up to 10 Gb/s data transfer"

pallid cedar
#

the 2x2 slot just doesn't have the bandwith

true mountain
#

Well that makes sense then.

late sorrel
#

I'm personally wanting pcie 3.0

#

for

reasons

urban gulch
pallid cedar
#

you mean 4?

late sorrel
#

yeah

#

heck

fleet canopy
pallid cedar
#

lel

true mountain
#

Is the msi z270 gaming pro carbon pcie 3x4?

#

haven't looked it up yet

urban gulch
#

it's my mb

fleet canopy
#

They recommended it -w-

urban gulch
#

:p

late sorrel
#

who recconemded it?

fleet canopy
#

You can get a uhh

urban gulch
#

me

pallid cedar
#

I'd recommend my board but it's most likely overkill lol

fleet canopy
#

470 if you want kek unless that's AMD?

late sorrel
#

amd, yes

pallid cedar
#

oh right, he has intel

#

oof

late sorrel
#

that's the more enthusiast faced chipset

#

iirc higher tweakablity?

pallid cedar
#

I got me an X470 Taichi

fleet canopy
#

It's so hard to remember which is for which company -w-

urban gulch
#

the msi z270 gaming pro crabon has the pci-3 3.0 x4 32 gb/s

true mountain
#

looked it up and yes it does ๐Ÿ™‚

pallid cedar
#

that should work just fine then

late sorrel
#

ah

urban gulch
#

well 2x

late sorrel
#

SLI support

urban gulch
#

it can have 2 M2's

true mountain
#

lol

#

All the speeds.

urban gulch
#

above the slot and under the slot with the M2 sign on it

sick reef
#

Hard to remember which is which when they have clear different naming schemes thonkspin

pallid cedar
#

really though

late sorrel
#

I personally got a tomahawk

fleet canopy

I know it shouldn't be hard but it is for me

but no access to the outside world?

fleet canopy

Didn't do shit for me -w-

urban gulch

So evil shaking smh my head

late sorrel

What the hell?

sick reef
#

Easier than Z370 and B350 into X399 and Z390

#

Etc.

fleet canopy
#

kek

sick reef
#

Chipset naming has less divisable logic.

#

Reminds me of the naming scheme of trucks, but that's somewhat easy between brands, albeit often somewhat illogical.

#

The biggest issue was when they stopped naming then from volume, into arbitrary numbers, and iterations, completely.

#

Mostly because they don't change the volume that much anymore, but still.

late sorrel
#

intel's naming scheme is shit

sick reef
#

Because they don't use the same socket for every generation?

late sorrel
#

that, and their new series of mobile stuff sucks ass

sick reef
#

What does that have to do with their naming scheme specifically?

late sorrel
#

their naming for it

#

hold on

fleet canopy
#

Hm

late sorrel
#

an i5 has g1 level of graphics

sick reef
#

So it's their regular naming with a performance identifier?

#

I dun gettit thonking

fiery nacelle
#

PCIe 2.0 x 2? OW

#

Isn't that 4x slower than the standard PCIe 3.0 x4 for m.2 NVME SSDs?

late sorrel

can we get an F in the chat for the new windows update?

#

it really has been fucking people

Not sure why that's bad though

remote moat

I mean

#

They work the same

fleet canopy

I've used x86 all my life lmao

remote moat
#

But you can't use the pc's full potential on 32 bit

fleet canopy
#

Oof

remote moat

Besides not all programs are compatible for 32 bit

fleet canopy
#

This be outcome

#

Every time -w-

late sorrel

why are you downloading it to your c drive

fleet canopy
#

I'm not trying to

#

It just picks that out

remote moat

Can't you select which one?

late sorrel
#

Did you click update windows?

fleet canopy

Doesn't let me

late sorrel

Well I picked the download a boot media for USB, blah blah

late sorrel

Are you using an outdated windows installer or wot

late sorrel

Did it work out?

late sorrel
#

he's deleting things in his C drive

#

none of the games are in the C drive, so there's not an easy delete that would work

Else just make an ISO file and put it on the usb urself

fleet canopy

#

Iโ€™ve found used ones on eBay for closer to $800

fleet canopy

I've seen one on sale for 440$

#

1080 Ti

#

Wasn't new of course, refurbished

#

But a great deal nonetheless

late sorrel
#

hey, that sounds epic

#

I wish I could get that deal

fleet canopy
#

Was a zotac, I did give the link to it here lmao

fiery nacelle
#

Just get a 2070 super, close enough to the 1080 ti, or for even better value, the RX 5700Xt

fleet canopy
#

That's true

#

But a 1080 Ti at 440$

#

Better price for value than a a 2070S or even a 2070

fiery nacelle
#

Isn't a 2070 Super equal to the 1080 Ti? - probs will be selling for $550 though haha

bronze cloak
#

Nah 2080 Super is 1080 ti level

pallid cedar
#

a 2070 Super will generally outperform a 1080 Ti in newer games

#

Turing vs pascal

fleet canopy
#

Yes

#

But itโ€™s still a 1080 Ti for 440$

#

Best deal you could ever get in the 10xx series

steady summit
#

I would never take a retail 1080, you never know and 0 guarantee

#

And agreed on outperforming on future games

fiery nacelle
#

retail 1080, meaning 2nd hand?

pallid cedar

retail meaning brand-new

1TB isnโ€™t enough for my Minecraft mods

late sorrel
#

I donโ€™t ever use more than 1 TB

pallid cedar
#

I have over 4 TB in my current pvc

#

pc*

#

I use over 1TB just for games, another TB for music, movies, programs

urban gulch
fleet canopy
#

I easily use over 1 TB

#

Just donโ€™t uninstall games

#

Yeet

bronze cloak
#

Are 2 TB drives really reduced to 1.81 TB in Windows? Thatโ€™s lame

urban gulch
#

Mhmm.

fleet canopy
#

1 TB is reduced to 930 GB

#

Or 930.3-930.5

urban gulch
#

too specific

fleet canopy
#

I canโ€™t really remember lol

#

Oh yeah itโ€™s .5

pallid cedar
#

yeah my 3TB drive shows as 2.72TB

normal ivy
#

Odds are if I used all of 1 TB of space thereโ€™s several games on there I donโ€™t play anymore

fleet canopy
#

Same here

pallid cedar
#

depending on how many new games you have, for sure

urban gulch
#

get uplay+ for a free month, and get loads of games

fleet canopy
#

I got r6

#

Didnโ€™t fill so much

#

Itโ€™s supposed to be like 100 GB right?

robust galleon
#

with the high res texture pack yeah

#

it adds on another like 25gb

#

hence why its optional

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

25 GB isnโ€™t so much for all the updates included

urban gulch
#

no you don't understand

#

25 gb for JUST the textures x3

fleet canopy
#

I know

#

But the game is already 100 GB

#

So itโ€™s not really gonna matter much lmao

abstract kite
#

1TB is not 930GB

#

windows has garbage storage capacity display

thorny raft
abstract kite
#

1TB is equal to 931.32GiB, but that's still 1000GB

thorny raft
#

1TB = 1024 GB

abstract kite
#

no

thorny raft
#

Yes

abstract kite
#

no

thorny raft
#

Yes

abstract kite
#

also you do not have 8GB of ram, you have 8GiB

thorny raft
#

Dude

abstract kite
#

man just go to school

thorny raft
#

Give me actual proof

#

Your school machine broken

abstract kite
#

kilo = 1000 in every single case on earth except dumb people doing garbage advertising and OS

#

same for mega = 10^6, giga 10^9 etc

#

for big power of 2 you use binary prefixes

#

binary prefixes are the same but uses a base of 2^10 (1024)

#

they end with a lowercase i

#

also their name is made with the 2 first letters of the decimal prefixes + "bi"

#

hence kibi mebi gibi tebi exbi

#

enough proof for you?

thorny raft
#

Idc

#

I'm bi

abstract kite
#

what's your binary pseudo? (take the first 2 letters of your pseudo and add "bi")

#

hi I'm xabi

#

and you're bibi

thorny raft
#

And you know makes "bibi" noise

fiery nacelle
#

For computers, Kilo / Mega / Giga- WAS NOT THE SAME as System Internationale prefix Kilo / Mega / Giga-

#

Hence why they introduced the prefix kibi, mebi, gibi, etc

#

There is not much in the way of reduction, it's just the storage manufacturers advertise in S.I. prefixes and OS (e.g. Windows) see it in terms of the binary prefix

thorny raft
#

Mebi ๐Ÿ˜

1 Byte = 8 x Bits (usually)
1 KB = 1024 x Bytes
1 MB = 1024 x KB = 1,048,576
1 GB = 1024 x MB = 1,073,741,824

urban gulch
#

not usually, actually x3

thorny raft
#

Actually 8

urban gulch
#

yis

thorny raft
#

Hence "8 bit"

fiery nacelle
#

depends on the number of bits per byte

#

For storage purposes, yeah actually 8 bits I suppose?

urban gulch
#

and people call me a nerd ^~^

fiery nacelle
#

ISO/IEC has standardized it to 8 bits

Okay i think this problem is supposed to be under here.
Sooo... Lately i've been having problem with my volume.. I encountered this problem while i was playing games and listening to music. Something on my pc decreases my volume a bit even though my volume stays at 100%. I've have removed the permission for other apps to control my volume but it still happends.. Tell me if anyone knows the reason..

anyone hyped for the 5700xt thicc boi

Haven't heard about the TUF card yet

But you need that 100% CPU gaming perf

chrome chasm

And a M.2 SSD

urban gulch

damn

chrome chasm

Nice

late sorrel

get x570 then

fleet canopy

At least I don't think anything else has over 100% in gaming yet kek

urban gulch

ima say it now, dont upgrade to full, wait for stadia.

fleet canopy

wut

late sorrel

what

#

I

abstract kite
#

yeah no

late sorrel
#

no

urban gulch

:p

late sorrel
#

I like not being kicked off of my games

urban gulch
#

wait pretty long

#

why kicked?

#

shitty internet? XD

late sorrel
#

No, Stadia can remove games whenever they want

urban gulch
#

lol why would they

#

steam can as well XD

late sorrel
#

Censorship

#

thereโ€™s been issues with games on their platform

fleet canopy
#

Hmm

abstract kite
#

Did anyone here use on-live when it was a thing? You could stream games online using internet connection

late sorrel
#

about the games

urban gulch
#

yeah @abstract kite

fleet canopy
#

Apparently 9900KF is better kek

urban gulch
#

it is newer, yeah

fleet canopy
#

1% increase in all perf on gaming, desktop and workstation

#

And is 420$

#

N i c e

abstract kite
#

really?

fleet canopy
#

Yeah lol

late sorrel
#

You canโ€™t own the games

fleet canopy
#

9900K 480$

abstract kite
#

how much is the 3900x?

urban gulch
#

you do own them, just not download them

chrome chasm
#

x1.3 for Canadian, ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

late sorrel
#

Nope

fleet canopy
#

582$

urban gulch
#

Yep!

abstract kite
#

hmmmmmmm

urban gulch
#

You pay for the games, it's not netflix for games

late sorrel
#

If google chooses to remove it from their platform

#

You lose it

fleet canopy
#

3900X is only for workstation best though

urban gulch
#

you keep it

chrome chasm
#

If google stadia shut down, you lose everything.

late sorrel
#

What?

#

I heard very differently

fleet canopy
#

95% gaming, 95% desktop, 117% workstation

abstract kite
#

I'll have to look into that sweet 9900KF

late sorrel
#

yeah well TooBad, itโ€™s the same with steam

chrome chasm
#

But steam you install the game, Stadia is pure streaming

urban gulch
#

a simple google is the trick ๐Ÿ™‚

#

"Best answer: According to Google Stadia boss Phil Harrison, you will be able to keep your purchased games in your Stadia library even after they've been removed from sale."

chrome chasm
#

Nice

fleet canopy
#

Isn't that the same thing with Steam?

urban gulch
#

Removing them from your library is not legal, especially not in the EU.

#

It's the same yeah.

abstract kite
#

anything on gog galaxy yet

urban gulch
#

Removing a product of which you legally paid for, would need a VERY good argument, if not you are allowed to sue them (or they have to refund)

#

gog is slow :p

fleet canopy
#

GOG ew

abstract kite
#

sigh ok

fleet canopy
#

Last I've used it, shit

#

Actually no wait wtf

#

End me

late sorrel
#

well I use more than one core

fleet canopy
#

You don't really see much different

late sorrel
#

1%

fleet canopy
#

9900KF allows 128 GB

#

kek

abstract kite
#

1%

fleet canopy
#

Hm

late sorrel
#

so Iโ€™ll be fine as long as the 3950x is 3% faster single core than the 9900k

fleet canopy
#

Seems like it isn't for gaming though

late sorrel
#

well, it is more focused on streaming and multitasking

abstract kite
#

I mean people use server grade cpus to game, not the first time

fleet canopy
#

True I guess

#

64 core speed is much better on 3900X, rest below is worse than intel's

#

kek

late sorrel
#

yeah

#

because we use more than 1 core

#

well, more than 4

bronze cloak
#

Iโ€™m either getting this or the TUF card

abstract kite
#

a majority of the aftermarket 5700xt cards look great

fiery nacelle
#

@bronze cloak this card looks great

#

guys,

#

whatever rx 5700xt card you wish to buy, do check the reviews and teardown

#

avoid poor designs like the msi rx 5700 xt evoke for example

#

(insufficient / inadequate thermal pads cause GDDR6 and VRM temp to hit way over 90 degrees C)

chrome chasm
#

soo the 5700xt is basically a in-between 2060s and 2070s, but 100$ less than 2070s.

late sorrel
#

It's about equal to the 2070S

abstract kite
#

Not sure whether to get the thicc, tuf, red devil, or sapphire

late sorrel
#

Nvidia win a few frames, but it's pretty much the same

chrome chasm
#

From what I've read, 5700xt focus on 1440p. 2070s can get you 4k 60fps. and got RTX support.

#

with some side stuff like less power consumption/heat/noise.

late sorrel
#

BFV on 4k

chrome chasm
#

Not bad

late sorrel
#

There are a few games where Nvidia does win out though, especially DLSS enabled ones, you get a ton more frames with that enabled.

#

It's generally the same though if we talk non-DLSS games.

#

If you would be playing games on Nvidia's DLSS list, then you really want the 2070S then

chrome chasm
#

Wow DLSS even make the 2060s equal

late sorrel
#

Yeah, it's really good.

#

This has all DLSS games so far

#

Should, at least, I've used it before.

chrome chasm
#

Minecraft RTX .. But I admin it does look good. but I guess it's also a big graphic overhaul coming with that patch

late sorrel
#

It's just for the Win 10 edition though

#

so no Java mods

chrome chasm
#

Cyberpunk doesn't have dlss, but RTX

late sorrel
#

If you want it, Nvidia has it.

#

AMD does have something in the works for RTX though, so who knows.

bronze cloak
#

Until technology advances to where enabling it doesnโ€™t tank performance, I really donโ€™t care. Itโ€™s a neat feature, but not nearly a deciding point in my book.

abstract kite
#

yeah pretty much

#

It's too early to actually be of any good use yet

late sorrel
#

DLSS though

bronze cloak

late sorrel

yes

#

the true meaning of DLSS

fiery nacelle

Radeon Image Sharpening > DLSS

late sorrel
#

mm

#

no

abstract kite
#

Do they have a side by side video comparison of the two?

late sorrel
#

not sure but I can tell you that they squeeze out like 20 extra frames

late sorrel
#

yeehaw

#

so NVIDIA be out here updating freestyle

#

pssh whatโ€™s DLSS

fiery nacelle
#

Isn't DLSS dead already?

late sorrel
#

can we get an F_ in the chat for DLSS?

#

yeah well now itโ€™s more dead than the Radeon VII

fiery nacelle
#

At least the Radeon VII sold out LOL

#

DLSS has no use at all

#

completely

late sorrel
#

well it did upscale textures, just not very well

fiery nacelle
#

Not many games supported it unfortunately

#

well, at least GPU manufacturers are looking at simpler scalers now

#

easier to implement and wider compatibility

late sorrel
#

DLSS was a selling point though...

fiery nacelle

but it Doesn't Look So Sharp - ah ha ha

Yea

urban gulch

my life will never change to amd

#

maybe graphics card, but never cpu, not anymore

steady summit
#

@late sorrel 5700 xt? I am slighty confused

#

Well if i went for the same price category, intel has less capabitlity and functionality then amd @urban gulch

urban gulch
#

yes and no, amd is less priced, but it has the consequences for it

#

i gotta go, shopping for cookies

fleet canopy
#

Gimme cookies GWmythicalGhostHug

steady summit
#

Well actually no, i had a budget and i tried not to care about the price of the processor but in that case it was the beteer choice than intel

late sorrel
#

Itโ€™s a AMD graphics card

steady summit

๐Ÿช

NoO.o

late sorrel

itโ€™s got similar perf to the 2070S

steady summit

Msi geforce 2070 rtx

The RAM is def gonna need an upgrade though

The funny thing is I've not heard anything new from intel

#

Maybe they got something special on them rn

abstract kite
#

The thing for me is that the ryzen 3000 series is very new and already challenges the top of the line while being affordable. I imagine that the next upgrade ( 7nm+ ) or a refresh or whatever will absolutely smack.

come again

#

300hz?

and they're putting it on a laptop

Yes

A laptop

Now that may suck

But it's the first 300Hz display

Or so I've heard

abstract kite

interesting but I can really only see it being useful to competitive gaming

fleet canopy

Yes

But like

Why 300Hz

#

240Hz is enough

we can't even make super good use of 240hz yet

yeah that's why competitive games can do high hz

What if I pulled out a random non competitive game, hmm

abstract kite

I've heard there is gonna be a new generation of high hz monitors that runs with lower ms timing

Isn't 144hz 1ms high enough?

welp they tryna be cray

what're the reviews like?

I've rarely seen a 2080 Ti go any lower 1000$

that is magic... but why so cheap?

No reviews yet

No one likes CDW I guess :)

Okay it's really stronk from what I saw

only thing is it's ugly as hell and it needs to be water cooled

but seriously not bad at all, good find

fleet canopy

The same ZOTAC 1080 Ti is 440$

They really must be trying to get rid of them

I should make a build with that

Are all their 2080 Ti cards lowered in price?

it says it was discontinued though

re

arent they releasing a 2080ti super ?

fleet canopy

Nah

Not in a while

NoVideo said they wouldn't

#

But it's a possibility to see one I guess

#

Well

#

Not a single listing is marked any lower than 1000$

sad

but I mean one only really needs a 2080ti for 4k

fleet canopy
#

kek

#

or crazy ass workstation stuff ig

fleet canopy

But with a lower price, the price to perf is unbelievable

abstract kite
#

True, I said what I said but I deadass know I would buy a 2080ti price dropped on the spot

don't tease me like that ๐Ÿ˜ญ
