But seems aight

#

Well im currently updating software and all

#

I can get back in an hour with experience

#

I mean they look decent but after the Vive touchpads this small joystick is questionable

#

And pressing down on them I heard was weird and uncomfortable

#

But we'll see

#

It also fits smaller hands better

Sounds like someone didn't push in the ram stick far enough

brisk badger Nov 27, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

I am fascinated; Do people even realize a difference of a monitor delay that is 1ms or 4ms or 10ms? Maybe I am too old but I don't see any

#

I play online video games that have an hilarious interpolation of 100ms, maybe I am used to delays haha

urban gulch Nov 27, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

@fleet canopy owu

fleet canopy Nov 27, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

uwo

#

And some can see the difference

#

Plus in competitive gaming, it's pretty much a thing to have 1ms

brisk badger Nov 27, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

and how do you handle the network latency?

urban gulch Nov 27, 2019, 1:48 PM

brisk badger Nov 27, 2019, 1:49 PM

how will that help reducing latency

urban gulch Nov 27, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

no, just speed

#

lmao

fleet canopy Nov 27, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

Ethernet cable is great

brisk badger Nov 27, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

well speed is not latency

#

cat 7 is just higher frequency of 500MHz

#

which also increases crosstalk

#

so shielding is always nice for that

#

oh cat7 is shielded by default, makes sense

I cant get it unstuck lol.. legit tried like everything.. + only happens in BIOS/boot sequence and when i dont have nvidia driver instlaled

so it has to be due to the monitor?

Building a new PC but keeping my GPU, a 1080Ti. Will be waiting for the 30-series of cards when they drop next year. Is a 750W power supply going to be good enough for a Ryzen 3900X and whatever the equivalent of a 3080Ti will be?

abstract kite Nov 27, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

go for 850-1000W platinum 80+

#

sometimes 850 platinum can equel too 1000W

#

which is gold 80+

hidden marsh Nov 27, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

Uh... I feel like that might be severely overkill to be honest. But I'll look at pricing.

abstract kite Nov 27, 2019, 7:34 PM

750W platinum 80+ certification might also rival like 1000W

cause it saves power and delivers really well

@hidden marsh yes, 750w will be good

I have a EVGA supernova 650w 80 plus gold

#

And like I have the other specs but does it really matter

#

Is that a powerful pc?

#

Hello?

fleet canopy Nov 28, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

That’s a good PC, yeah

#

If you are just gonna game with it, you could get a 3600 if that’s cheaper for you

#

If you are wanting to overclock with great cooling, many recommend a Dark Rock Pro 4, or an NH-D15

#

I believe the Dark Rock 4 is also good, but I am not too sure

#

The Dark Rock Pro 4 is more of a better option since it can allow Trident Z ram sticks

#

You might be able to do so with the NH-D15, but I’d recommend looking it up to see the ram clearance for it since I have no idea if it does

#

I believe you can find a 2070 Super for pretty much the same price as a 2070 right now

#

Because all I saw was 400-500$ on both cards

#

Some super cards went as high as 600$ though

They lifted their NDA literally 24 hours before AMD’s was

#

and it sucks even compared to the 9900KS

#

which is just laughable

#

They also dropped their prices from 2k to 1k

#

so effectively the lineup went from

2k: 3970x and 10980XE
1.4k: 3960x (still does generally better)

sick reef Nov 29, 2019, 5:32 AM

Seen from intel, it's the more core alternative. It is also the objectively worst out of all high core alternative.

sick reef Nov 29, 2019, 5:33 AM

10980XE. It's not difficult to remember, as they never changed the identifier, just series number.

#

For gaming, 9900K still performs best. 3950X being a good cheaper middle ground for more core and thread heavy loads

slate rivet Nov 29, 2019, 9:43 AM

9900K isn't all that better compared to the 3900X, and the 3950X is less gaming focused.

kindred forum Nov 29, 2019, 10:07 AM

yeah ludvig, i'd say it's pretty representative of the general consensus that Intel can't argue / defend any semblance of superiority that they clung onto before Zen 2 that justified their price premium, now that they're behind AMD in the nanometer wars, and honestly I can't wait for the potential CPU arms race that we'll see going into the 2020's if Intel actually gets their act together.

#

The 10980XE release honestly has the same energy as the pre-Zen AMD days, where their main reason of purchase was moar cores

#

Largely overshadowed by their competitor, and just an ok product, but nothing groundbreaking

dense wasp Nov 29, 2019, 10:15 AM

I stand by that most games nowadays live and die with their fanbase, but I also can't imagine the sheer amount of dedication to bring a game to life (especially without corporate overlords like Activision and EA) so this is really the first game I've been excited about in a while where I can in good conscience ask my friends to try it out with me because of all the memories we can make.

About the GPU. It's great! I switched from a Fury X and I am very happy with the performance and that it only consumes around 160 watt when fully used. It gets a bit warm but that's okay since I think you also got a custom fan design for the GPU

@north bronze loads out on the Sapphire 5700xt Nitro it's the best card on the market just now. Triple fan, good heat pads on ram, good thermal on main chip, around 8 heat pipes, and added heat sync

But it's a beast at 300mm length

When you have frame drops it's that your PC is skipping frames.

64gb ddr4 RAM (Cause Rendering in Maya, Renderman, Substance Painter, and Premiere is a RAM rapist - currently game art student at full sail)
Forgot what mobo I have, its an MSI something awesome or other.

and if you do, it’s not a x16 slot

you're not going to half your framerate by going to x8 from x16

4 is a big nono

#

That probably will half it lol

#

But like I said, the difference from x16 to x8 is not noticeable

Oh yeah, frametimes

#

The bandwidth will affect your frametimes more than it will your fps

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 4:05 AM

Which is why

16x is best recommended for higher end

No matter what

Welp... they took my monitor for replacement.. i got the new more Better premium display port with Vesa Certification

sick reef Dec 1, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

A 1080Ti doesn't max out the bandwith of a 8x lane PCIe 3.0. Though 16x is recommended, it's all about bandwith and bitrate. How many pixels are you outputting, how many bits of information is that, and how much is the bandwith capability, ergo, bits per second.

#

Once you know that, you can just do the math and see if there's a bottleneck.

#

Example:
1080p, 120Hz. 1920x1080 pixels, 32 bits per pixels, 120 times per second.
1920*1080 *120 *32 bits per second.

#

PCIe 3.0 is 1GB/s per lane.

#

B is byte, and 1 Byte is 8 bit.

Intel has held technology back for many years. Finally with competition we see now improvements

Holding back the good stuff

AMD make good move

late sorrel Dec 1, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

they haven't

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:30 PM

Idk if they were holding back. I think AMD just had a break through. Even Intels latest chips that just released can't compete and they're cutting prices.

brisk badger Dec 1, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

of course they held back

late sorrel Dec 1, 2019, 9:30 PM

my 10 year old pc, 2500k, 8gb, HD5670 could still play games on the lowest

CPU wise, we have doubled power

GPU wise though :)

brisk badger Dec 1, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

what did they do since releasing the second generation intel i7's?

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

If they were holding back then intel would have magically released some crazy processors to compete with AMD, but it isn't happening

brisk badger Dec 1, 2019, 9:31 PM

intel didn't do anything when having the lead since 2010

Competition drives technological change. there was no competition, why would intel try

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

With AMD and NVIDIA

#

The GPUs became much better

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Yea nVidia takes the cake with GPU's

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

2080 Ti is still top

late sorrel Dec 1, 2019, 9:32 PM

my rx570 is pretty cool

and the 5700 line of gpus are good too

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:32 PM

Direct X, Hydro cards, PhysX

late sorrel Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

But hopefully AMD does have a good GPU to beat the 2080 Ti

late sorrel Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

and the raytracing from amd by the end of this year

brisk badger Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

the big market is not high end gpu's

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Yea real time ray tracing is a huge technological advance

brisk badger Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

it's midrange. it's a smart move for AMD to no longer compete there, at least for the time being

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Even in the 3D modeling world, being able to realtime render models is so awesome

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

AMD is doing rays soon, so either NVIDIA is going to focus on performance

#

Or they probably will have another trick up their sleeves

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:34 PM

Yea i'm interested to see what they do with their next line up of GPU's

ornate ginkgo Dec 1, 2019, 9:35 PM

I mean, you can buy a GPU with 24gb and a CPU with 64Cores... but why should you...

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

As long as the product is good and priced fair, then that's important

#

Instead of 150% price for each fucking frames on 2080 Ti

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

play on words for nVidia, no video. I haven't had any issues with nVidia cards. My 480GTX finally died after 7 years of use, then i upgraded to the 1080Ti

#

I usually wait 5 generations of cards and then just buy the best thing out there

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

My 1060 3GB is still alright for light-medium gaming usage ( Like performance, not for amount of time wasted on gaming )

#

It runs R6S pretty well on like

#

Medium I think

#

3GB VRAM though is ass

ornate ginkgo Dec 1, 2019, 9:37 PM

Y, i mean, IF i had the money i would take a gpu with 6gb.

Not too bad for rendering

ornate ginkgo Dec 1, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

titanX is a bargain

fleet canopy Dec 1, 2019, 9:41 PM

It's not too bad either, but might be pricy

#

Titan RTX is 2.5K

#

Apparently the Titan RTX is the first fully unlocked 2080 Ti?

granite geyser Dec 1, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

Titan RTX and 2080Ti are pretty similar in performance. Hydro cards aren't made for gaming they're tuned for what I do. You can game on them but the performance within a game probalby wouldn't be any better than a 2080. I believe Linus Tech Tips did a video comparing Hydro cards and gaming cards.

It's really interseting
