And people are still selling their 2080s for $500.

#

No, I don't think the listing allowed international shipping.

#

Yeah, the last guy who bid is probably gonna cancel since it looks like a new account.

#

0 stars.

vapid crypt
#

Less maintenance with an AIO? Eh I mean I don't think so, you still want to get rid of any dust that gets in the fins of the Rad from time to time. No different from your standard Air cooler

#

Also AIOs have an inherent expiration date, meaning you have to replace the thing after a couple years or so. Though I did see an AIO that comes with a bottle of coolant and a place to refill the coolant. So that would be an exception phaSheva

eternal cairn
#

Yeah, just seeing some of the heatsinks makes me cringe at how much board warping it'll result in. 😖

vapid crypt
#

I've been considering getting a big air cooler, but it would require a new case in the process phaSheva

#

Is RAM speed really that important?

#

Like I know 2666 MHZ is bad, but not terrible...

#

With a Ryzen 7 though?

merry bay
#

RAM lasts a really long time, and going above 2666MHz isn't that big of a price hike, for a very tangible performance difference. Performance for $ is okay going up to ~3600MHz. Being stuck with slow RAM if you ever upgrade or expand capacity really sucks.

#

If you went for a mid-low tier system, losing 5-15fps from RAM would be a serious hit

abstract kite
#

I have 3200Mhz for my PC

#

I need to get a SSD I swear

#

My dad has 2666MHz

#

Oh god it's D0c he's finally come to ban me.

void perch
#

2666 to 3200 isn't a huge difference so not likely to notice at all, however when apps are running, they are running out of the RAM after initially loading. Some things will need the SSD/HDD to initially load, then read/write files after (so speed comes into play at those parts), or CPU if there is processing, ram when running the app.

Generally small differences like that isn't hugely noticeable unless you are doing something that measures and highly depends on it. Though it will be noticeable if you do say DDR3 w/ 1600 (12,800 MB/s) vs DDR4 w/ 2666 (21,300 MB/s)

See this chart: https://www.crucial.com/support/memory-speeds-compatability

Huh

#

most AIOs are near identical, being that they all use the same pump/rad from asetek, so they all perform relatively the same as one another.
the main areas where they are different, is the housing around the cpu block and pump, and the fans, so if you already have fans you like, go for a cheaper AIO, like an EVGA CLC, otherwise, get something decent like a corsair or NZXT AIO

#

been using an EVGA CLC 240 for the last few years, and literally the only good thing about it, is that its generally the cheapest AIO available, but the fans are absolute garbage, and i am literally never going to use them again

abstract kite
#

So the B450 Tomahawk is terrible because it only accepts around 3200 Mhz

#

Of DDr4

#

Alright

tardy jackal
#

My build is clean and beautiful so far. But going to be hidden once I install a coolermaster 212 and 2070 KEKW

eternal cairn
#

And in about 6 months, it'll be filled with a layer of dust.

tardy jackal
#

Bet

eternal cairn
#

I do.

fleet canopy
#

Hm.

eternal cairn
#

Or, worse yet, you discover 6 months later that all of your fans stopped working.

tardy jackal
#

I have 6 fans 👀

eternal cairn
#

One month for each fan. JK

tardy jackal
eternal cairn
#

But imagine though.

#

One month, one fan dies; this happens for each of your fans.

tardy jackal
#

I imagine I spent too much on my pc build but oh well :^)

eternal cairn
#

You can never spend too much on a PC build, unless you're using a Quadro as your GPU for gaming.

You mean epyc*

vapid crypt
#

I don't have anything phaSip

#

Only thing I have is they intend to compete with the 3080, and should be around there with the top card possibly better who knows phaSheva

#

Oh there was a benchmark leak that showed an unnamed Radeon card or cards that are roughly matching the 2080 and 2080 Ti, so at the very least I hope that's Navi 22 or something

#

Could be the same card at different clocks though, say the lower clock is on par with 2080 and the higher clock is on par with the stock 2080 Ti

dense wasp
#

Yeah that’ll be interesting.
I’d be surprised if they can compete with the 3080, but not against them doing so 😅

#

My guess is around 3070 and less

vapid crypt
#

The reason I think its better than most people are thinking is because they're giving Radeon its own event, with Vega and RDNA 1 it basically took the backseat alongside the CPUs

dense wasp
#

Yeah that’s fair enough

#

And AMD has surprised before

#

I mean Nvidia was better then I thought as well so 🤷🏻‍♂️

#

Just intel going around letting people down 😉

vapid crypt
#

Cause the Consoles best case are around, well the Xbox specifically its somewhere around 2080Super - 2080Ti

#

I doubt they couldn't make something faster than the consoles, its their own silicon; and if they can't that would be some horrible scaling phaWesker

#

And Nvidia performance is about where I expected, It doesn't look so great when you consider that yeah the 3080 is maybe best case 35% faster than the 2080Ti; but I mean it is using 30% more energy to do so phaSheva

#

They doubled the amount of shaders per SM, and they have lower IPC than turing overall. So doubling cores, less IPC hmmm

#

Weird way of going about it, but I suppose it must have been the best way of doing it

dense wasp
#

Yeah the price per performance ratio is pretty wild

vapid crypt
#

Depends on stock availability

#

Like Tom from Moore's Law is Dead said, good chance they're going to be artificially limiting stock for this first round

#

So get it before scalpers do phaWesker

abstract kite
#

So what is the first stages that a PSU is going bad?

vapid crypt
#

I dunno, probably random shutdowns/restarts

abstract kite
#

Would electric burning smell be one?

vapid crypt
#

Possibly phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

Lol

vapid crypt
fleet canopy
#

Check each component. It could be some other parts but I guess it’d be more sense that it’s happening to the PSU

abstract kite
#

When I started to smell it was coming from the plug to the wall and the PSU cord was hot.

#

When I stopped playing my game I didn't smell it anymore

#

It wasn't red hot

#

Hm

#

Cold I didn't check the wall socket and that would be cold by now.

#

If it was hot

#

So I believe it would be the wall socket

#

Oh no the PSU wires are fine

#

This is fine

fleet canopy

#

Uhh

Yes

#

No, but...

#

The bottom piece of this is open a bit

#

All other bottom sides are closed with each other

A what?

#

No mine does not

#

You know what it could be to...

#

my neighbors having a bond fire a couple houses down....

#

But...

fleet canopy
#

Bonding? Ew

abstract kite
#

Wire was still hot...

#

Hmmm

#

At most I am using 2 TV's, PC and outlet to change my phone.

#

Believe so.

#

700 PSU

#

One 55' smart tv and the other I want to say 24'

#

Hm

#

Wait

#

Yeah 55'

#

That would be pretty hot.....

#

Looks like I may need a long electric outlet from my other outlet and plug my computer and other components in there

#

Need to order it

#

Think my PC can last a while so I can get on Amazon? Lol

#

More or less

#

Comfortable

#

@abstract kite I ordered a outlet extension and will be here on Wednesday. Do you think so long as I don't play any high performance applications it should be fine until then?

Managed to get a Red Dragon Rx 5700 Xt for under 500$cnd, considering what may be coming, was this a good grab while they were still there? Was the last one.

#

Waaah!

#

It was a backlog item and it was the last one, no hit!

#

Should have saved your money because those cards are about to go on sale

#

Doubt Power Cooler is going to put it down anything more than 20$

#

I trust MSI for a deal more than I do them.

#

With Nvidia, Intel and AMD releasing new gen flagships GPU's they will.

#

This is assuming AMD doesn't botch this one.

Doesn't matter

Plus we have Black Friday and Cyber Monday in a couple months.

True, guess I just wanted it that badly

However, no Cyber Monday up here.

dense wasp
#

that's a solid price ay?

eternal cairn
#

Yeah, but right before the new GPUs drop, I'd assume the RTX 2000 series would get a pretty significant price drop.

#

Or maybe the price for the 2070 will drop as soon as the 3070 drops...?

tardy jackal
#

Had some issues getting a heat sink literally anywhere but she's almost done. Forgot to take pic after installing gpu. Rog strix barely fit so fml on putting a 3070

brisk badger
#

looks nice but I always install the heatsink first before placing the mobo into the pc. nothing more annoyin than to remove the mobo again because of forgetting to add/remove backplate etc.

tardy jackal
#

Wot

#

Its so easy to install back plate wdym

#

And you can just tip pc over to place it on lol

#

Nothing has to be removed 👀

brisk badger
#

maybe for the specific case you have access from the back but it's in general common knowledge to install everything onto the mobo before placing it inside the case

fleet canopy
#

Pretty much install as much as you can, including the RAM, cpu cooler, before adding it in. Even if it’s a massive one like a Dark rock pro 4 which would have helped so much if I didn’t have to install it with the mobo in the case.

brisk badger
#

i had many moments I had to remove the mobo from the case again. E.g the 4pin cpu cable was blocked, blackplate had to be changed etc. The smaller the case the more hassle

abstract kite
#

@jade ermine benchmark are already avaible

tardy jackal
#

Well we got everything mounted and plugged up good already no problem :p

#

And yes we installed lots of things before mounting mobo.

#

The cooler is the only exception which we know will.not be an issue

jade ermine

@abstract kite feel free to link some that are not random china 3D mark runs

tardy jackal

The issue is getting one

#

@jade ermine well the 3080 is 80% better then the 2080ti

jade ermine
#

That is false

#

Try something like 15-20%

abstract kite
#

lmao?

jade ermine
#

?

abstract kite
#

Thats weird af

jade ermine
#

Yes in nvidias slides they promised almsot twice the performance compared to 2080

abstract kite
#

Some dude
Legit Showed benchmarks (not fps) and even Linus showed it

#

And it was 80% better then 2080

jade ermine
#

But you were talking about 2080Ti

abstract kite
#

Yeh

jade ermine
#

so wich is it :D

abstract kite
#

3080 is 80% better then the 2080zi

#

Ti*

#

Thats what they said

jade ermine
abstract kite
#

Im confused

jade ermine
#

This is slide from those chinese 3D mark results

#

80% over 2080Ti is not happening even with 3090

abstract kite
#

Tf?

#

3090 has more ram and shit then 2080ti???

#

Twice the raytracing power

#

How cant it be stronger???

jade ermine
#

Games at 4k use 4-7GB of Vram. Sure you get 384bit bus, around 20% more RT cores and more CUDA cores compared to 3080 but those gains dont scale straight to frames

#

im expecting 3090 to be 15-25% faster than 3080
and 3080 to be 25% faster than 2080Ti

Sure with RT and DLSS we are looking at better numbers

#

🔮

abstract kite
#

@jade ermine go sue nvidia for Lyieng

#

lmao

😂

#

Well ima still get it tho
From 1660 to 3080 for only 700 is good

eternal cairn

That's stupid, honestly.

abstract kite
#

Lmao

jade ermine
#

how have they lied

abstract kite
#

Why

jade ermine
#

when they never claimed 3080 to be 80% faster over 2080Ti

#

haha

abstract kite
#

Well some dude who Was showing himself not being chinese showed benchmarks

#

Not fps
And 3080 was on 180-190%

While 2080ti was on 100%

@brisk badger thx

😂 😂 😂

#

Me big brain

brisk badger
#

85% performance increase seems extreme. Could be a very special use case or test where the new 30 series is faster but generally in games; I doubt

abstract kite
#

So this is Fake then or what???

#

Im still confused

#

Ya know what ok
Around 15-25% better then 2080
I wanna Stop duscusing has no point lmao
All ik is that i will Upgrade

jade ermine
#

2080Ti and 2080 are very different cards

abstract kite
#

thats true

#

well i meant the ti

#

lmao

jade ermine
#

also "relative performance" can mean many things too

#

cherry picked tests etc

abstract kite
#

well im still confused and i still got some time lets wait for amds gpus

#

and their benchmarks

jade ermine
#

If they come up with 80CU card like speculated 3080 should be getting some competition

eternal cairn
#

Hopefully.

abstract kite
#

u think that amd can come up with raytracing too???

jade ermine
#

Better manufacturing process, Higher clocks and lower power consumption is expected

#

They will implement RT in some way because thats where the world of video game graphics is slowly going.

#

i would be surprised if not

abstract kite
#

true

#

but dont they kinda need to buy perms n shit from nvidia cuis its like their thing they made?

#

or they would just make their own

#

i dunno

jade ermine
#

no

eternal cairn
#

Ray-tracing isn't trademarked.

abstract kite
#

ah ok

#

40mins left then i kill die in gtfo

#

well ima wait untill then thx for all the infos

abstract kite
#

True

#

Yeh im gonna wait some months untill everything is clear and then buy

brisk badger
#

"up to 2x faster than xy". Says it all young padawan

#

interpreting charts also can be very difficult and are very often biased. E.g Nvidia probably in the chart above used selected titles, maybe even have driver tweaks that are not present on the older cards and and and.

Whenever you hear something like "up to ..." you can safely discard that info as you know marketing people have made this sentence and will have 0 validity for real comparisons.
Just wait till nvidia releases more info or people can benchmark the cards actually

sick reef
#

Isn't most marketing discardable? Hmm

#

Either it's actual numbers, or it's not.

#

And if it's actual numbers, they are most often presented with methodology.

#

If neither is present, then it matters equally.

vapid crypt
#

Marketing is a bitch phaWesker

#

People have been thoroughly convinced that the 3070 is faster than the 2080Ti, and while it certainly will be in certain cases; in all likely hood its on par with it in most cases and slower at 4k. Not that you should be getting it for 4k though PirateSimon

fleet canopy
#

Who cares about 4K anyways 👀

vapid crypt
#

It was the same with the 2080 vs 1080Ti, slightly faster in some cases, roughly on par in most cases and slower at 4k. 256-bit and 8gb of Vram is just no match for a 384-bit bus with 11gb of RAM in that case

#

And sure its less than 1% of the market, might not be significant but there will be an eventual market for it. It'll just be a few years probably? I mean if consoles are giving that level of performance I don't see why displays could come down to similar levels of affordability

tardy jackal
#

I'd only be getting a 3070 to give my girl my rog 2070 to replace the crappy 970 👀

Otherwise....not even getting much more out of the new stuff.

vapid crypt
#

I pretty much see 1440p replacing 1080p soon, and 4k coming down to a more common enthusiast option

jade ermine
#

Are there even any 4k high refresh rate monitors that are over 28 inches

vapid crypt
#

Not that I'm aware

jade ermine
#

no wonder its not more popular

vapid crypt
#

I know they're rolling out high refresh rates at 4k just not sure on display sizes

jade ermine
#

i had 27'' 4k 144hz screen for short time

#

just to try it out

#

way too small

vapid crypt
#

Yeah that's just pointless, just get 1440p for that size phaWesker

#

I'm seeing 43", 55" Shit some 65" ones

#

All 2-5 grand though

fleet canopy
#

I mean, if it’s not specifically monitor, ROG has a goddamn 4K 144Hz at like 65” Kek for about 2500-5000$

#

But like why’d they even make it if no one could even make it to 4K 144hz

vapid crypt
#

Depending on the game even a 2080Ti can average over 100 frames at 4k

#

With DLSS that opens up a bit more, but as we know that's limited to certain games atm

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

tardy jackal
#

27 too small?

#

Hell its TOO BIG

#

24 is gamer sweet spot

I mean, you can always play 4K 144fps on minesweeper PirateSimon

Ghosts had this epic extinction thing with the aliens, Infinite Warfare had a pretty cool story and I liked how they added more difficulties which included no healing, except with the use of a stim shot and your limbs may be shot and become useless until stim is used

Advanced Warfare had a pretty neat gameplay with their exo suit thing. Fuck them mostly for making zombies a paid thing though

it brings a certain level of hypocrisy about google's protest of the EU's right to be forgotten laws

2 8-pins 375W maximum power draw

lilac geyser
#

i was just thinking that, regular pci-e power connectors

vapid crypt
#

They have no need for a special connector to output more power than that pretty much

#

Let alone 3 8-pins that some AIB models have for the 3080 and 3090

#

That's for going balls to the wall with overclocking of course though

fleet canopy
#

Who and why the hell thought this was a good idea?

vapid crypt
#

Now listen, I think its dumb and everything; but if it makes Radeon known to the normies its probably not the worst idea ever

#

I mean we're talking about one of the biggest multiplayer games of the last 2 years now? Sure its dying but its not like their numbers are non-existent... though at the same time its probably pointless cause how many people are honestly gonna play their map or whatever phaWesker

#

But yeah its not much different from like having some ad space in a sport stadium or something if that makes sense phaSheva

eternal cairn
#

Wait, so 375W is the maximum amount of power needed for AMD's new card?

vapid crypt
#

Not needed, its just the maximum amount of power that can be pushed

eternal cairn
#

I mean, if you're gonna OC, then that would still be the max needed, right?

vapid crypt
#

Assuming AMD continues with the amount of expected TBP, its probably a 300W card

#

That's what the Radeon VII was and the Vega 64

eternal cairn
#

I just hope the performance at least trumps the 3070.

vapid crypt
#

I mean assuming its 300W it obviously will or else its a massive failure

eternal cairn
#

Like their drivers.

vapid crypt
#

That would put it in the ballpark of the 3080 in terms of power draw

#

I get it, but the driver issues weren't crash and burn type shit; and they've been working now for a while

eternal cairn
#

Has AMD announced any prices yet?

vapid crypt
#

Nothing, just price leaks for the 3070 competitor

#

Which the alleged price is $549 and it has 16Gb of Vram if you didn't hear about that

abstract kite
#

So I would imagine that a Ryzen 5 3600x would bottleneck a 3070

eternal cairn
#

Yes.

#

Actually, it really depends for certain games that are more CPU intensive and constantly loading stuff in.

restive garnet
#

Tfw just did my first delid and now my computer isnt turning on

#

Time to spend the next 4 hours troubleshooting it

#

Lmao

vapid crypt
#

If there is a bottleneck it probably won't matter that much, I get the concern for bottlenecks but you're probably not losing that much performance in most cases.

#

And you can bet there will be plenty of bottleneck testing anyway so you can check for yourself if the bottleneck would be significant before you buy.

vapid crypt
#

Going by this, granted this is a 4 game average; but the difference between the 3600 and the 9900K with the 2080Ti at 1080 Ultra isn't massive and considering the 3070 will have similar performance; most likely a bit faster at that resolution. I wouldn't consider that much of a bottleneck to be concerned about

#

In my case I'm running a 2600 so I'm gonna need a CPU upgrade phaWesker

well if it posts an error code then it may be it yup. if it doesn't then it's more likely cpu / ram related

restive garnet
#

Im not getting any error code, its just flat out not doing anything when i hit the power button

brisk badger
#

fans spinning?

restive garnet
#

Nope

#

Ive bridged the 24 pin and all the fans spun up fine

brisk badger
#

released all electricity from the mobo ? (turning power off, smashing the buttons on the mobo for many seconds) or did make a cmos reset?

restive garnet
#

Havent done a cmos yet

#

Tbh, i havent done anything

#

Cant be bothered at the moment

#

I pretty much bridged it as soon as i realized it wasnt turning on, and havent done anything since

#

Normally, if i have any sort of short i can hear the power supply attempting to start, but i cant even hear that when j hit the power button

#

All the error code LEDs are showing normal

#

And i think i may have put the power button connector on backwards

#

Because the chassis connector doesnt have + or - marked

#

So its always a coin flip

#

Well, it wasnt that

#

@brisk badger wanna play devils advocate for me?

brisk badger
#

i'd love to but I am at work right now😩

cmos has been resetted?

#

heatsink makes enough pressure?

restive garnet
#

Not yet

#

Mitx mobo

#

Makes it hard to do anything

brisk badger
#

yea 😕

restive garnet
#

Cooler pressure should be good

#

All screws are hand tight

sick reef
#

It's just the power button that isn't working?

#

Or did it boot when you bridged it, or did it just spin up?

restive garnet
#

Bridging gives no power to mobo

#

So, no

#

No boot

#

Just fans

#

All mobo leds are showing normal

#

Im half expecting it to be something stupid

#

Basically nothing at all happens when i push the power button

nimble anvil
#

Anyone buying the 3080 on Thursday?

abstract kite
#

How much is it again?

#

$600?

nimble anvil
#

$750 roughly

#

I think the 3070 is closer to $600

abstract kite
#

That is a OOF for me.

vapid crypt
#

It should be 499 and 699 respectively

#

AIBs will charge the premium for their coolers, even though the FE models have the best silicon

jade ermine
#

wonder how many seconds until its sold out on nvidias site

#

gotta spam that F5

fleet canopy
#

Imagine buying a GPU the moment it releases

abstract kite
#

Imagine having shitty drivers when you get a new GPU the moment it releases

brisk badger
#

@vapid crypt aren't these numbers (499 and 699) meant as MSRP / list price?

#

ah nvidia sells them directly as well

vapid crypt
#

Imagine the first batch of cards catching fire and causing artifacting PirateSimon

#

That was Turing, perfect start to the shit show everyone inevitably saw it for what it was regarding its price

fiery panther
#

I thought that was a nazi cross on the left fan, I was do confused

fleet canopy
#

®️ ®️ ®️

vapid crypt
#

That would make a good meme though...

fleet canopy
#

Looks like it has some Nvidia to it on the design tbf

#

Probably stealing the design and just improving it 👀

vapid crypt
#

Yeah sort of I saw people talking about that cause of the side venting with the logo

#

Its a lot better than what they did with the Radeon VII cooling wise

#

Cause the Radeon Logo was blocking most of the heatsink

fleet canopy
#

Kek

vapid crypt
#

I think its disingenuous to call it a copy paste, that's what I've seen people saying

fleet canopy
#

It’s more like a copy but change up the words so no one notices

vapid crypt
#

Well its like a streamlined version of a similar design

#

Better airflow with the Radeon cooler... probably phaSheva

#

Though I guess its cause of the third fan in the center

#

It needs more space there

fleet canopy
#

Definitely. The middle isn’t blocked, and it looks more bendy-er I guess?

nimble anvil
#

That Radeon card is ugly

fleet canopy
#

No

#

U

vapid crypt
#

Its not as nice as the Radeon Vii I guess, but how is it ugly? phaWesker

nimble anvil
#

Big rims on it

fleet canopy
#

Although if it’s the fan side, I guess so a bit. But it looks really nice and I like the design of it

vapid crypt
#

You mean the edge of the fans?

#

There's a reason for it, and its not unsightly imo

nimble anvil
#

Nah the top bit with the black and red

vapid crypt
#

Oh the red trim

nimble anvil
#

I mean, if it does the job, that's all that matters though

vapid crypt
#

It looks like the evolution of the 5700XT cooler, actually being good but with the Red stripe motif

nimble anvil
#

Idk, just my opinion. Reminds me of a window AC

fleet canopy
#

The red trim looks pretty nice on it imo if it’s that

nimble anvil
#

Yeah, the red looks good

fleet canopy
#

Otherwise, there’s really nothing that looks too bad

nimble anvil
#

I guess it's okay for a poor people graphics card

vapid crypt
#

Going by the Fortnite render, the back plate is lacking

#

Them's fighting words, and by fighting I mean 1v1 in Minecraft PirateSimon

fleet canopy
#

Lmao I mean, does it matter too much?

#

Actually to be fair only like 5% ever so go for vertical GPU lmao

vapid crypt
#

Eh its wasted effort for vertical mounting imo

#

Sorry I've been playing Death Stranding and was subconsciously thinking about climbing a mountain phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

How come?

vapid crypt
#

Well it doesn't do anything, that is all PirateSimon

fleet canopy
#

I feel like it would help in cases of airflow

vapid crypt
#

No I don't think it really does anything for airflow, especially if you're air cooling your CPU

#

I guess on paper its nice letting the air flow up out of the case, but that means higher CPU temps if you are air cooling. Not a big deal, but still its not doing anything really other than you might like the way it looks. Which sure its fine if that's what you like

#

Also I just now learned this but apparently the Radeon VII has a black power coated pci-e backplate... that would look pretty slick if they did that tbh

abstract kite
#

Just looks like a aftermarket 5700 card

vapid crypt
#

Sure, reminds me of the Sapphire coolers. Which I didn't know this until yesterday but its Sapphire that actually makes the reference PCB's for AMD, maybe they had a hand in designing the reference cooler this time.

fleet canopy
#

I guess that’s how we get the nice looking cooler with great cooling as the reference

vapid crypt
#

Well I did see the dual fan design, I'm not a fan (no pun intended) of it

#

It has a big tacky R in between the two fans phaWesker

#

It was a render so maybe it won't look as bad in reality phaSheva

fleet canopy

Looks neat

These 16GB peeps... normies

fiery panther
#

I only got 16 as for rn

#

Might upgrade

#

Depends on the money I get the upcoming months

brisk badger
#

get what you need. if 16gb are too little then upgrade

fiery panther
#

Nah

#

The highest I got was like 80% with chrome, discord, fl studio and a lot more processes open

#

Lets say FL Studio is not kind to my cpu lol

#

Definitely upgrading my cpu when I can

brisk badger
#

you would also have to check the usage of the swap file to be sure that not some part of your ram is moved to the swap file. Espcially when it reaches like 80% it can move some stuff, tho it really depends on the program

#

*pagefile it's called in windows sry not swap

fiery panther
#

Nvm, my ram's good

brisk badger
#

but as long as you dont feel sluggish behaviour all is fine

fiery panther
#

My CPU is mainly a holdback

brisk badger

what you got

fiery panther
#

Ryzen 3 3200G

brisk badger

I am still using a cpu from 2014/2015

fiery panther

It's a quad core

brisk badger

probably faster than mine 😋

fiery panther

3.5 to 4 gHz

brisk badger

I have to change my cpu first though

Okay no

Ryzen 7 maybe

eternal cairn
#

No, Ryzen 9.

#

Better yet, just wait until new CPUs are announced (supposedly in October, from what I've heard).

fiery panther
#

I'm not rich

#

I can't just get whatever I want lol

#

If I'm lucky I get just enough a month to pay my Healthcare insurance

#

With like 10 euro's a month able to be saved

brisk badger
#

but you can get the previous generation cheaper when AMD releases their new lineup

fiery panther
#

But still

#

It doesn't have to be 500 still ya know

brisk badger
#

of course. Well it also depends what you do. If you do certain work for your job that requires it probably is justified to pay more. For gaming primary? No it's not needed and luxury. Yea you can argue it's future proof and you can use it for longer but let's be honest, most people who argue like that are also one of the first getting the newest hardware :p

My work primary consists using a terminal shell. In a company I administrate the IT I am the one with the cheapest hardware tho I have to organize the hardware of the employees 😢

restive garnet

So, wooza

#

I really want to shoot myself right now

brisk badger

Neither

ah nice!
What happened?

restive garnet
#

So

#

As i mentioned yesterday

#

Mitx boards

#

Are annoying

brisk badger
#

mhm

restive garnet
#

And the front panel headers are right beside another identical set of headers

#

And i plugged the entire q connector one row higher than i should have

#

Which i couldnt see because cramped ass mitx mobo

fiery panther
#

Oh no

restive garnet
#

So my front panel wasnt even connected

brisk badger
#

but nothing was damaged?

restive garnet
#

Nah

#

Just stupidly embarassing

#

Particularly given ive made that same mistake with this board

brisk badger
#

well still a relief. I had times where i used a screwdriver to start the PC because of similar issues and the power button not working

#

haha

restive garnet
#

I tried that

brisk badger
#

well now enjoy a cool CPU 😎

restive garnet
#

But i tried it on the q connector

#

Which wasnt connected properly

#

Congratulations, i just played myself

brisk badger
#

xD

fiery panther
#

F

tardy jackal
#

We couldn't figure out why my fans were working on my case cause we thought it was all controlled by the rgb hub. I never noticed my buddy helping me didnt connect them to the mobo pepeplode

fleet canopy
#

Lol had a front case fan not spinning due to not being connected. Once I realized that, I didn’t bother to do anything about it until I got my new CPU/mobo/ram

#

Actually even then I forgot to plug it in

#

And then like a week or two into living into the new apartment I finally just did it because I had no internet, and I was a bit bored so I noticed it and was like “why didn’t I plug this in a long time ago?”

tardy jackal
#

Lmao

interesting seeing the 3080 test results coming in

brisk badger
#

I would call it underwhelming

abstract kite
#

They are underwhelming

tardy jackal
#

RIP all of those people mass selling 2080ti

vapid crypt
#

I mean I already knew the numbers were BS, the 2080 comparison was BS because its just no good at 4k. Obviously the new card with more memory and a bigger memory bus is gonna be way faster at 4k phaWesker

#

Still its like 50% at 1440p on average so that's pretty decent

#

So more 6900XT stuff though, basically its pictures of the card at most angles better than the Fortnite crap

brisk badger
#

I think a big factor what many forget is the power consumption in relation to performance. My best guess is that the engineers were under so much time pressure that they had to go plan Z and just crank the power consumption up to have a "justifiable" performance difference compared to the last generation

fleet canopy
#

That’s fair I guess

brisk badger
#

and nvidia must fear amd. not only would they come out with this series kind of rushed but also cheap

fleet canopy
#

they’ll just get similar performance with less watt usage afterward for the next lineup I assume

brisk badger
#

it all depends on amd now. It can really hurt nvidia if amd brings something good. Doesn't even have to beat a 3080 if it's about equal to a 3070 but less wattage consumption then amd is the winrar

fleet canopy
#

Nah they’ll just be like “haha amd loser” because Nvidia still has the higher performing cards

#

Not including the ones that aren’t so elitist and dumb

brisk badger
#

yea but economy-wise it's a flop. only the elite will buy the highest performing cards

fleet canopy
#

Amd still would make it cheaper than competition so there’s that good side of AMD to battle against NVIDIA

brisk badger
#

if amd has a faster card than the 3080 I doubt they price it lower. Maybe if it even consumes more power:D

abstract kite
#

This is from bitwit lmao

fleet canopy
#

Hm, it’s not so specific. Is metro really that demanding? Doesn’t say ray tracing

brisk badger
#

I would say if you give the 2080ti 80watt more (so they are about equal in regards of power consumption) the fps difference would probabyl between 3-9fps

abstract kite
#

Lmao

brisk badger
#

metro always was one of the most demanding games

#

dunno if it supports rtx. ofc this I excluded from my argument

#

there is surely a big impact in performance difference

fleet canopy
#

Idk, I played it really well on my 1440p

#

Only turning on RTX at the highest does it show

abstract kite
#

@brisk badger it does Support rtx

brisk badger
#

was your screenshot with our without rtx?

#

oh it's also 1080p

fleet canopy
#

It seems like it wouldn’t be RTX. Last I remember 2080 ti was doing 80fps average

jade ermine
#

roughly +20% faster compared to 2080Ti

vapid crypt
#

Yeah at 1440p, that's about right

jade ermine
#

Try something like 15-20%

to be fair nvidia said "up to 2x as much performance

vapid crypt
#

Yeah that's how they get you

#

Top tier marketing wording

brisk badger
#

marketing people laughin diabolically

vapid crypt
#

I'll give them this though, way better price/performance cause they're actually giving you 102 at $700 again

#

The 2080 was such an insult, and should've been like $600 at launch

#

Would've been shit, but I mean $800 on launch come on phaWesker

#

Check out the power draw PirateSimon

#

Weird its not posting the image

#

Oh Discord was just lagging on me

#

17% more power draw

#

Over a 1080Ti anyway phaSheva

#

20% over the 2080Ti... so 20 - 25% more performance for 20% more power draw PirateSimon

You know what I got from this, buy a used 2080Ti and overclock it. You'll get a better deal phaWesker

This is like a 3090 vs 2080/ti

3090 reviews next week

fleet canopy

The 3080 actually does perform nicely to be fair, where in Metro Last light for 4K it goes up 30FPS without RTX I think

15% faster than 3080

in gaming

learn how to script
make a script file that auto refreshes all buying pages for the 3080
sell it to unlucky

fleet canopy
#

The 2080 Ti was roughly same FPS as 3080 on 1440p said by Jayz

#

This is pretty neat

#

Just download a simple autoclicker and set it to refresh every 5 second on the restart button @jade ermine

brisk badger
#

lol

fleet canopy
#

There was no DLSS being used apparently

jade ermine
#

Well im not picky so if i cant get my hands on FE one i try to yoink any reference card

fleet canopy
#

So that's pretty cool

jade ermine
#

no playing around with new cables is the plus side for those

fleet canopy
#

I don't really blame anyone for wanting FE

#

It looks nice

But that 6900XT reference 👀

Really damn nice looking GPU

Better than the entire RTX 2000 lineup

That's all phaWesker

jade ermine
#

It has aerodynamic design, Lets all the fresh air come to my room easier compared to custom one

fleet canopy
#

Ah, I guess

brisk badger
#

it's funny tho. when I was younger, me and a buddy used to make such scripts for stuff that was available only a limited time or had x items.
We soon found out we are not the only ones with this idea and there is actually many doing this and it became a war of who makes the scripts that are the fastest.

When there is such event e.g devs send out keys through links etc. you always lose, scripters will take all the rewards 😋

#

the easiest is if they post something in twitch or so, as human it's impossible to win

#

I also don't do it anylonger. Some sites or giveways I think have some delay included but it's still impossible to deny scripters from the event

#

apples' rdna2 giveway, I can't wait. Where I subscribe

fleet canopy
#

So for cooling, the heat from the GPU fan facing to the CPU is not that hot enough

#

Said to be about as warm as the air you'd feel from an AIO exhaust

vapid crypt
#

I never thought it would be that hot, because its displacing heat from the end of the PCB

#

The hottest part is gonna be on the other side of the card where it's exhausting from the back

tardy jackal
#

I was pretty sure fans blew into the grate

#

Not pull air out of grate

fleet canopy
#

The GPU fan that's going to be facing down is more hotter, which won't really affect anything so that's actually a pretty neat way of how it is

#

I'd like to see a pretty good build done with that GPU though, having temperatures tested with different fan setups with an AIO and an aircooler

vapid crypt
nimble anvil
#

That's fake

vapid crypt
#

What do you mean? phaWesker

jade ermine
#

MLID
INFO
choose one

vapid crypt
#

I don't know what that means PirateSimon

brisk badger
#

he argues that games today already have not enough vram available and 10gb is also not enough

I am not sure if he is right about that. Given the fact that his only claim is battlefield 5 using 10GB makes me feel like he is wrong.
BUT future video titles will probably exceed that limit for 4k and ofc nvidia doesn't give people by purpose already much vram because else people would not upgrade as fast and to save cost.

#

people also often understand memory usage wrong. Just because a game or an application uses X GB of (V)RAM does not mean the application the application actually uses it. Often programs allocate more than whats needed

fleet canopy
#

That's just what AMD is for

#

Just get their 6900XT if you want more VRAM

#

Said to have 16GB iirc

vapid crypt
#

I understand the Vram thing totally, and I don't entirely disagree that 10GB will be enough for 4k in the long term. Imo It will be good for this generation and that's about it

#

Having to turn down settings just doesn't seem like a reasonable idea for something that's high end you know phaSheva

fleet canopy
#

Yeah that amount of VRAM is perfectly fine imo

#

But they're going to be giving a higher amount VRAM for the same GPUs

#

So there'll be a 10GB and a 20GB

#

But of course, comes with a hefty price it does

fiery panther
#

I have 8GB rn

#

I'm fine with that

fleet canopy
#

Yeah no one's gonna really worry about VRAM unless it's one of those uhhhh

#

Demanding games

fiery panther
#

I'm pretty demanding ngl

tardy jackal

8gb is like totally fine for tons of intensive games rn

Marketing 101

vapid crypt
#

They did well for price/performance

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

That's pretty much the good thing at least

vapid crypt
#

They had to though, or else they would have been panned

#

Although the 3090 is not good price/performance

#

People say they lowered prices, nah because of the 3090 that's not true

fleet canopy
#

Anything above 1000$ isn't a good price to performance

vapid crypt
#

They call it a Titan

#

But I call BS, cause its not the full die

fleet canopy
#

Hm

vapid crypt
#

It's what should have been the 3080Ti with double the RAM

fleet canopy
#

So there is going to be a Titan?

vapid crypt
#

I don't know, but I do know that's not the full die

fleet canopy
#

How so?

#

Did GN say anything about it?

vapid crypt
#

Its a GA102-300

#

The full die would be GA102-400

fleet canopy
#

Oh

vapid crypt
#

Talking about the 3090

fleet canopy
#

So that's just 3/4 of the die, meaning 1/4 is pretty much not there?

vapid crypt
#

There will eventually be a 3080Ti that's a cutdown 3090 with half the RAM, I don't know how much it will cost

#

But if its priced reasonably it would destroy the purpose of the 3090 outside of needing a lot of RAM

fleet canopy
#

So a 12GB 3080 Ti basically

vapid crypt
#

12Gb 3090 but yes

fleet canopy
#

With a lower price probably like

#

900$

vapid crypt
#

$900 would be nice, $1000 is probably where they will place it though

#

If there's an FE model it probably would be $900 but AIB's end up charging up to $1000 or more just like the 3080 and 3090 phaWesker

I'm late to the party,
but I don't know what people where expecting when they say that the results for the 3080 are underwhelming 🤷‍♂️

I find them more then enough, much better then last generation, to a much better price

brisk badger
#

Well you don't take power consumption into consideration
If product X performs ~25% better than the previous flagship with an increased power consumption of 20% then basically it means that Nvidia had to crank up the power consumption to make a justifiable difference

#

In the long run, depending where you live, you pay more money even tho the 3080 is "cheap"

#

there is nice software utilities for 30series. the hardware I would call a flop

dense wasp
#

don't really mind the power consumbtion tbh

#

don't really see what the big deal is there

#

but maybe that's just me

#

🙂

#

flop is a strong word, especially before they even start selling.
3000 will most likely fly off the shelves

#

but for each his own ofc, I'll happily take the performance boost

proper wren
#

3080 $1100 in Canadian dollars. People are reselling for 1600

brisk badger
#

you don't mind. But others like I do. Technological advancement is not made by +20% performance + 15% power consumption. It's also environmentally unfriendly.

Sure if you look at the pure performance stats and compare it to the price it looks nice but remains underwhelming

dense wasp
#

20%?
Cutting it a bit low to prove a point are we?
Most tests I’ve seen border between 30-50%

#

But I mean, Im not trying to convince you to think differently 🙂

#

As said, for each his own

#

I’m hyped at least 😅

brisk badger
#

it depends on the games and frankly the testing methodology. Youtubers are not great in testing properly. There is always a discrepancy.
From what I saw, the general improvement is around 25% (of course it depends from game to game). The above example was just generally
raytracing got improved which is nice

dense wasp
#

Dlss 2.0 seems very impressive

brisk badger
#

if people buy the new 30series that's their choice I don't think I or anyone is upset about it. Personally if I were to have the 2080TI I probablky wouldn't upgrade

#

the thing is; All games I love and play don't use these features 😋

#

(please don't make me upgrade again 👼 )

dense wasp
#

😅 that is true

#

Almost no games I play use it either, but since I work with tech I must get it for science

#

😉

brisk badger
#

also the voice thingy is amazing that nvidia released. Forgot what it was called

#

also ludwig, sorry it's unrelated to tech-talk but will there be another GTFO AMA? Would love another one

proper wren
#

Ludvig are you upgrading all your rigs again lol

restive garnet
#

watching jayztwocents, most benchmarks put the 3080 at 20-30% better than the 2080ti

#

granted, jay isnt exactly the most professional youtuber, but gamersnexus showed near identical benchmarks

#

so personally, i probably wouldnt upgrade off a 2080ti unless you really need the horsepower

#

or, like ludvig, you have enough money and a good enough excuse to not get murdered when your wife finds out

#

us 1080ti owners are away laughing though

Its a company expense for me 😅

can someone tell me the difference between the codenames

i dont see any difference in the specs

its all the same except price is 200€ +

merry bay
#

reviews aren't up yet

fleet canopy
#

The only difference is there's quite literally almost no difference imo

#

Maybe just the small difference in what the base/boost clocks are but overall not something to really care about

brisk badger
#

my question is; Why is there a white square in the screenshot

#

no idea what "1.440 / TBA MHZ-Base / Boost clock" means
TBA = To be anounced?

Yeah

tardy jackal

Why would anyone get the stock gpu from nvidia

#

Aftermarkets with more fans are better cooling and usually get better aesthetics 👀

I assume it may be a tad cheaper and probably because of collectors value

#

So Moore says 10GB isn't enough

brisk badger
#

We talked about it yesterday. He is factually wrong tho and needs to learn the difference of memory usage and allocation

#

He might be right for titles in the future. Nvidia wants to make money too hence 10GB

fleet canopy
#

I guess it's just future titles maybe

#

But overall no one's getting past 10GB, maybe like a couple games which then the 6900XT can do that instead of NVIDIA's GPUs

#

But either way, unless there was something that I don't know increases your VRAM usage to whatever number above 10 or 11GB, no one's probably ever going to touch that in a good while

#

I wonder if it is enough for 4K though

brisk badger
#

I was refering to 4k (like moore does)

#

He uses examples of a game hitting 10GB in 4k. He used Rivatuner or whatever tool to measure. Its impossible for these types of tools to actually know how much is in use

#

A program can allocate more resources than it needs. E.g chrome does this often. So it can reserve for example all memory you have but maybe use a 1/4 of it

fleet canopy
#

So what you're saying is that allocation is just showing me how much it will use

#

But the usage is completely different and therefor is less?

brisk badger
#

Allocate = reserve. This is what external programs see

#

Actual usage could the also display (in case the app does no allocation)

fleet canopy
#

Ah so what you mean is it'll automatically take for example if it needs 4GB of VRAM, it'll keep that 4GB and other programs can't use it, so therefor it's there to be used whenever the program needs it basically?

brisk badger
#

You reserve all 10GB and tell that windows. Windows be like whatever just leave some for Aero. Then internally you may only use 6 of the 10GB but externally what we see its still 10

#

Why this technique is used has many reasons. Not a programmer so i can just guess. I assume a portion is used to move the textures from ram to vram and back. Like a swapfile. But just a guess

#

Yup like you said. A game can reserve the vram or ram and then it looks like for us that its much but internally its much less

fleet canopy
#

Ah, so other programs will limit how much you're allowed to have but it won't display that

brisk badger

I’m waiting until Intel supports PCIE 4.0 to upgrade because of future proofing. And by that time the ti series will probably be out
From NV_Tim NVIDIA community manager:

System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications. The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance.We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases.

#

The 30x series is tapping the edge of PCIE 3.0 performance

vapid crypt
#

That's not what I got from that statement phaSheva

meager umbra
#

It’s a few percent difference. If it weren’t hitting the edge you wouldn’t see a not-insignificant performance gain.

vapid crypt
#

Well see cause the thing is, even on a 5700XT there were some notable performance differences by a couple percent. The extra bandwidth is just beneficial in certain cases

brisk badger
#

but are games hitting the limit of PCI-E 3.0 ? The text mentions "applications"

vapid crypt
#

That statement didn't say anything about Gen 3 being tapped out though

meager umbra
#

It’s mostly in transfer rate to the card itself. PCI 3.0 caps at 32GB/s on a 16x lane

vapid crypt
#

Regarding getting a Gen 4 compatible CPU Zen 3 sounds like its gonna be a winner for a while

meager umbra
#

Well see cause the thing is, even on a 5700XT there were some notable performance differences by a couple percent. The extra bandwidth is just beneficial in certain cases
@vapid crypt correct but that just means that the pcie 3.0 performance edge is being bumped up against by those applications. I’m only thinking of “future-proofing” for the coming years

vapid crypt
#

We shall see on October 8th phaSheva

meager umbra
#

It doesn’t mean that people won’t see a performance gain over their 10/2080ti and other cards on PCIe 3.0. It’s just that the expected lifetime of maintaining performance is shorter than waiting.

vapid crypt
#

Sure, I understand that

meager umbra
#

And personally, I’d rather invest in something that is going to have a longer lifespan. It doesn’t mean that others won’t enjoy their cards for a few years to come

#

Intel Rocket lake processors will support 4.0

#

And if you look at the timeframe for release to implementation of the next gen spec, it’s at least a 5 year lag

brisk badger

if you weren't to run 4k or a heavily setup multi monitor setup you most likely will not touch the limits of pci-e 3.0

Circuit limitations

US home/office outlets (NEMA 5-15R) typically supply up to 15 amps at 120V.
National Electrical Code states that circuit load should not exceed 80%.
(1), (2), together imply that US home/office circuit loads should not exceed 1440W = 15 amps * 120 volts * 0.8 de-rating factor.
The above analysis suggest the following limits:

3x RTX 3090 per outlet
3x RTX 3080 per outlet
5x RTX 3070 per outlet (though no PC mobo with PCIe 4.0 can fit more than 4x)
As an example, let’s see why a workstation with four RTX 3090s and a high end processor is impractical:

4x RTX 3090 = 4 * 350W = 1400W
1x Threadripper 3960X = 280W
1x motherboard = 80W
The GPUs + CPU + motherboard consume 1760W, far beyond the 1440W circuit limit.

nimble anvil
#

£1600 altogether if they both process the payments lol

meager umbra
#

At least for US consumers

#

In the EU on 220-240v it’s not a stretch. And I know most people won’t have 2-4 cards in their machine but a lot have multiple machines

#

So the same applies if those machines are on the same circuit.

fleet canopy
#

Hm.

#

for the homes I've lived in, almost no outlet get their own circuit, so that limit is shared with other outlets in the room, and lighting

So confirmed skipping 4000 to 5000 for Zen 3 on Desktop

#

The reason is for naming parity with the architecture on Desktop and Laptop/APUs

fleet canopy

So the entire Ryzen 4000 is just staying on Zen 2, and the 5000 is landing to Zen 3

Yeah its so you don't have APU's that are a generation behind but has the same name scheme
