rich cedar
#

Dang

odd siren
#

Yeah I really am starting to feel

#

Wait

#

Ok

#

I'm really starting to feel like nvidia is using the us msrp to drive a narrative

rich cedar
#

I mean possibly

#

What narritive

#

The one of them being basically an AI sellout and not really caring about consumers?

odd siren
#

"Look how cheap it is, it's still better than last gen!"
Meanwhile, elsewhere around the world

rich cedar
#

So, at least pitch nvidia in a different class then, these really aren’t consumer cards

odd siren
#

These used to be yeah

#

They were called titans before

#

Sold as workstation cards

#

Then the 3090 became "Titan for the consumer"

#

Man that lasted long

rich cedar
#

Imo all of them are far too expensive to be considered consumer grade unless you love wasting money

#

Maybe my blood isnt rich enough

#

Spending 400 dollars on a new 8 gig card is insane

#

In any market

odd siren
#

Fair

#

One thing I'm pleased about

#

It really feels like a lot more people are waking up to it this gen

rich cedar
#

100 percent

odd siren
#

Last gen wasn't all that different

#

Except we did get real improvement

rich cedar
#

People are done with their crap

odd siren
#

I really hope so

rich cedar
#

And its showing

odd siren
#

Pray for competition

rich cedar
#

I’ve never seen all of the tech reviewers go this hard on them

#

You can’t compete with them all the competition is actually lower priced and better

odd siren
#

Oh yeah it was pretty brutal

rich cedar
#

I wouldn’t wanna compete with that garbage anyway

#

They’re not garbage cards the price to performance is absolutely garbage

odd siren
#

I'm just hoping amd get the next gen launch price right

rich cedar
#

I’m probably still gonna get a 6800 anyway

odd siren
#

That's a good card

#

7700XT for 25 more is somewhat worth

#

If that weighs into anything

rich cedar
#

Yeah, I like having a lot of VRAM I heard it’s pretty important for some of these new and optimized games

odd siren
#

Yes

#

Ray tracing is also becoming more mainstream

#

I liked my 6900XT

#

It's been really reliable

#

The launch was a bumpy one but they came round in the end

rich cedar
#

Yeah, I’ve kind of always had my eye on the 6800 as a replacement for my RX 588 gig

#

I’m gonna keep looking at 7700s too

wild glen
#

guys If I want to buy the 5080 should I buy it now for $1700 or I wait a month from now?

cerulean rover
#

Wait at least a month for supply

#

You might as well get a new 4080 super for $1000 if you need it now lol

Most likely.

livid idol
#

With the Lunar New Year the factories are currently shut down and it can take weeks to spin them back up to full production capacity. I don't expect anything until March.

wild glen
livid idol
#

No idea on the exact timing. I'm just basing this off of past data.

junior locust
#

@wild glen I'd personally recommending just not getting a "5080" at all

#

It's basically a scam

#

Just get a used 4080 or 4080 Super, you can get it for 800 or so dollars and it'll give you much better value than any "5080"

rich cedar
#

This is funny

#

They never mentioned the fact its a 1000 dollar 5070

little slate
#

did ya'll see the GN video regarding how bad 5090 launch supply was?

odd siren
#

Oh yeah

vital oriole
#

Yes

#

The 5080 is a big letdown

livid idol
#

5080 appears to be good for overclocking but if you don't do that it's only about 5-10% better than the 4080 super depending on settings

#

Unless you absolutely must buy a new GPU and the 5080 happens to be the same price as a 4080 at the time of purchase it's just not worth it

junior locust

#

Where do y'all get used cards?

heady turtle
#

ebay facebook marketplace are a good start

livid idol
#

A few different places, r/hardwareswap, ebay, fbm

heady turtle
#

if you dont want to deal with the looking around that hard and dont mind paying as much and youre in the US, Jawa acts as a middleman but youre gonna get worse deals

livid idol
#

Sometimes jawa can be better than ebay and I hear it has roughly the same level of buyer protection

#

Just make sure to test it right away, you have 72 hours from delivery to confirm it works or not iirc before the funds get released

heady turtle
livid idol
#

@torpid heron Nope we don't allow that here

torpid heron
#

oop sorry

livid idol
#

No buy/sell/trade

#

Besides, the odds of someone having a spare 5090 right now are insane

#

There's only like 1000 in the USA total

verbal basin
#

if theres only 1k then the prices on ebay are a steal

livid idol
#

Microcenter leaked they only got about 230 units total nationwide. If each major retailer got about the same number of units, right about 1000 is reasonable

#

Two reasons Nvidia did this:
Get as many units state-side before the tariffs hit as possible
They don't care about gamers anymore when they can sell the same GPU with more memory for $30k and call it an "AI card"

verbal basin
#

I wonder if theres people flipping scalped cards lol

livid idol
#

100% they are

#

Listings for $5000 with pics taken from the parking lot of microcenter on fbm

#

Some mf actually bought it

livid idol
#

Yep

craggy pier
#

On sale too!!

#

What a deal at 5500, down from 6000

#

Oh

Nvm

#

Embed didn't work like it do

#

Rxddit is better, well supposed to be

random walrus
#

I just copy and send the photo in discord usually

odd siren
#

Also I'm surprised

#

I jokingly said "Probably the worst in like 15 years"

#

Didn't expect actual truth

#

Wtaf

random walrus
#

good to note that this is blender, not gaming

odd siren
#

Oh yeah but still very applicable

random walrus
#

arguably a little more standardiz-able than games as well

odd siren
#

Ahahaha

cerulean rover
#

that's the spirit

odd siren
#

God this thread is awesome

#

Everything we've been saying for years on full rip

#

Hahahahaha

random walrus
#

ok here's somewhat of a thought experiment: AMD is currently (on top of better raster) offering more VRAM than Nvidia. But in comparison to Nvidia AMD is pretty crap for AI. If AMD improves their AI cores (to support better upscaling, frame gen, etc) will their GPUs just go up in price as they become more attractive for AI work?

odd siren
#

No bad products only bad prices

livid idol
random walrus
#

Also, maybe we see LTR (Lite Token Rate) gpus?

odd siren
#

If amd believes it's worth more they'll do it

random walrus
livid idol
#

Mining is long dead after all, barely profitable

random walrus
#

just like stopping miners from guying 'gaming' gpus; but for AI instead of mining

odd siren
#

Long dead on consumer hardware*

random walrus
#

I guess Token can also refer to crypto lol

odd siren
#

Asics never died

forest oasis
#

Afaik it's all artificial scarcity at this point

random walrus
livid idol
forest oasis
#

Also Nvidia prob put more into the server AI accelerator market since that's where alot of companies are trying to purchase things

#

Yeah

livid idol
#

800% profit margin goes crazy

forest oasis
#

They turned on dlss for their profit frfr

#

Normal profit: 50%
Dlss on, mfg on: 800%

odd siren
#

Fr

#

They're using AI to make the 5070 look like what it should have been without

livid idol
#

Is he... literally quoting the marketing material

#

Copy/paste from the Nvidia site

rich cedar
#

these people are litterally scientifically breaking down their chances of getting a card

#

Its a massive think tank, they do this stuff day after day hour after hour

odd siren

It will be interesting

It's gonna be so sad but that really got me

Up to you 💀

rich cedar

Also from the discord

proper viper
#

how to get alerts for restocking?

livid idol
#

We don't have that here

odd siren
#

@rich cedar

#

🤔

little slate
#

anyone have any idea if newegg is pulling in any more 5090 stock? I was reading on reddit that the 5080 bundles have been popping up randomly

#

mostly curious if there is a specific time they would show up in stock, or it's random.

livid idol
#

No idea, no one works at newegg

#

Except the admins, who are in admin and not inventory

odd siren
#

I mean he's right

#

I was saying this too

livid idol
#

Better yet, used 4080 since it's only 5% worse than the 5080 anyway at 1440p

#

Or a used XTX for that matter

rich cedar
rich cedar
zenith parrot
#

Can anyone help explain why my graphics card is bottlenecking this hard?

keen nacelle
#

because the 7800x3d is the second best gaming cpu, and im assuming youre playing at 1440p

#

a bottleneck isnt a bad thing, it isnt killing your pc. it just means your cpu has performance that isnt being used

odd siren
#

Ngl

keen nacelle
#

oh yeah 1440p with fsr, which also puts more load onto the cpu

odd siren
#

The numbers look accurate

zenith parrot
#

😦

odd siren
#

I could be wrong, but it looks like you have really high settings

keen nacelle
zenith parrot
#

i want 144 frames like, always haha

odd siren
#

14gb vram usage is like almost 4K max settings

keen nacelle
#

then turn settings down...

odd siren
#

Yeah

#

Best we can say

#

Google optimisation guides

zenith parrot
#

dang

odd siren
#

Turn the right settings down

keen nacelle
#

^^

zenith parrot
#

👀

odd siren
#

And you'll get better fps and it'll look virtually identical

keen nacelle
#

a lot of settings are almost identical between medium, high, and max

odd siren
#

Otherwise better exists in more money

keen nacelle
#

like 3d resolution in fortnite KILLS performance

#

like my 3060 ti could barely handle 45%

odd siren
#

Do your research on which to change pikmin

zenith parrot
#

I'm willing to throw money at better

keen nacelle
#

or just fiddle with it

odd siren
#

It's very easy to get like, 30% more fps

keen nacelle
odd siren
#

Just by optimising settings

keen nacelle
#

xtx/4080/5080 are all 15% or under increases

zenith parrot
#

oof

keen nacelle
#

you can go for a used 4090 if you really want to, but a new 5090 will likely run you $3500+

zenith parrot
#

fair enough

keen nacelle
#

imo more like 4k+ for the forseeable future

odd siren
zenith parrot
#

not really interested in the 5000 series honestly

#

yeah 😦

odd siren
#

Not even remotely worth suggesting better than what you got

keen nacelle
#

50 series is a flop

zenith parrot
#

yeahhh lol

keen nacelle
#

if amd releases a 9070xtx later on that could be interesting

zenith parrot
#

I wanna wait on the new amd cards

#

i shall find optimization options

keen nacelle
#

9070xt looks to be slightly worse than the 7900xtx

zenith parrot
#

=(((

#

that's not good lol

#

well thank you guys I appreciate the advice

#

❤️

odd siren
#

Oh wow ok no df guides

livid idol
#

Well it's good in the way that it'll be cheaper and consume less power than the XTX

odd siren
#

@zenith parrot

#

Try high texture settings

#

Mess with shadow settings and particles

zenith parrot
#

yeah i was looking but didn't really find much either

#

i'll just tweak

odd siren
#

Mess with aliasing

#

Go high but not necessarily dlaa

#

Uh

#

Any rt off

#

Small object shadows low

#

Draw distance mess until you're comfortable

#

Small object details medium

#

What else am I missing

zenith parrot
#

I have pretty kuch everything on ultra

odd siren
#

Reflections you can run medium to high on many games without rt and it looks decent

zenith parrot
#

guess I should change that lol

odd siren
#

You'll likely find a LOT of fps

#

And it won't look any real different to before

zenith parrot
#

I'll do that rn

odd siren
#

If you see something you don't like, flick settings back

#

Go one at a time

#

I highly recommend keeping high or ultra texture settings though

#

And at a minimum shadows and reflections at medium

#

Generally speaking those can be very impactful

#

Particle effects too but those can be really severe on fps

#

I often default low there if I need more fps

#

Looks a little weird but easy to accept

#

Watch a few other digital foundry guides for ideas, they have other games, it'll show you what some stuff does

#

Also df isn't the only optimisation guide either

#

But test with stuff until you see what you like with the right fps

#

A 7900XT is fast af for Cod 6

zenith parrot
#

I definitely haven't utilized df enough

odd siren
#

I think it only loses to a 5090 or xtx iirc

odd siren
#

With little to no image loss

#

Well

#

Little

#

Sometimes a bit but not in a way I hate, personally

#

But sometimes no difference

zenith parrot
#

welp, off to the lab I go then 🙂

#

I'll figure it out

#

thanks you've been a great help!

odd siren
#

Np

zenith parrot
rich cedar
#

Stay away from the 50 series lol

zenith parrot
#

oh i plan on it

odd siren
#

Lol

rich cedar
#

I infiltrated Nvidias discord to make memes about it

#

Thats how bad it is

livid idol
#

I should join just to watch the chaos unfold pepesip

rich cedar
#

@livid idol i could shoot you a link

livid idol
#

Nah I could find it if I really wanted

#

I'm not that bored yet

little slate
#

Sigh, I'd consider a used 4090, but one of the biggest appeals of the 5090 is that I have a monitor with display port 2.1, and I would like a GPU that has one too

rich cedar
#

Golly gee I cant imagine you would have to wait more than 20 HOURS for a computer part

rich cedar
#

the hoops these people jump through for a 50 series are absolutely insane

#

Might as well be the olympics

livid idol
#

I'm the wrong person to talk about this, I stood outside a best buy in freezing weather to get my GPU lol

#

But that was only about 14 hours

rich cedar
#

That was probably a good card though

livid idol
#

At least I had fun, a bunch of people in line brought their Switches so we played Mario Kart. I kicked their butts.

rich cedar
#

I bet everyone in line for a 50 series is really really on edge and at each others throats

#

😂

#

Just the amount of tension is probably unreal

livid idol
#

Yep that happened in my line too. There was a tent set up near the front of the line, obviously they meant it to hold a spot. But when it was 15 minutes before opening this big family rolls up with like 14 people and tries to push everyone back. Things got physical, cops got called, they were removed.

#

Nah man you don't get to do that while we waited 12-24 hours

little slate
#

Wait there was a tent with nobody in it?

livid idol
#

yep lol

raven wharf
little slate
#

Bruh, what did they think was going to happen

#

They're lucky nobody stole the tent

livid idol
#

Hey it was the last in person restock that best buy did, my last chance to buy something that would actually function as expected because the 3090 newegg sold me did not

livid idol
raven wharf
#

or maybe I do and I cant remember

little slate
#

Well yeah, they thought they'd have 14 people bump the whole line

livid idol
#

It was the worst 3090 that ever existed

odd siren
#

It was honestly a 30 -90

#

Gigabyte waterforce

#

2x8 pin power

little slate
#

Wtf?

livid idol
#

VRAM would throttle it just playing a game

#

I got artifacting playing fallout 4 from memory issues

odd siren
#

Honestly it would've gotten worse

#

That was the copper+alu model

livid idol
#

I repasted and repadded, no dice. Put a giant heatsink on the backplate. Still sucked.

#

FELIX NO

#

You don't understand lmao

odd siren
#

It was later going to corrode kekw

little slate
#

At least my 3090ti is still running fine, so I'm not desperate, but I built the rest of my new 9800x3d system and it's a bit depressing to look at it without a GPU in it

livid idol
odd siren
#

I remember

#

Hence 30 minus 90

#

Lmao

raven wharf
odd siren
#

His 3090 was actually really bad roflmao

little slate
#

How are you 65th out of 57

livid idol
#

Try as I might I couldn't get that thing to score above 19.5k in time spy. I got this 3080 ti and got it to 21k immediately.

little slate
#

That's like... Alienware level of throttling

livid idol
#

And yes I turned it into an active backplate to fight the throttling, it didn't help

#

Or, it did help for a little bit, it added some thermal mass to the backplate but it still throttled so it must have been the front VRAM and not the reverse side.

raven wharf
#

that picture has such an aura to it and i cant describe it

odd siren
#

That loop would've died anyway tho

#

Gigabyte never fixed the alu mixing bs

#

Planned obsolescence

livid idol
livid idol
#

3090 was ultra spiky in the earlier days before drivers tamed it

odd siren
#

Yeah either ||a||or||us|| tbh

odd siren
#

The P850GM I had died but didn't take anything with it luckily

#

3080 in the system at the time

livid idol
#

I killed 3 of them

#

One is still in active use

odd siren
#

Jeez wtf

#

I still have one left I save for post tests

livid idol
#

One of them was so bad that I did the paperclip test to see if it would start and smelled magic smoke immediately

raven wharf
#

do you both do anything computer related for work or is it all just a hobby? cause ik felix has multiple pcs

livid idol
#

I do it for work too

odd siren
#

Good chunk of what I have is hobbying tbh

#

But I use it as much as possible

raven wharf
#

ah gotcha gotcha

heady plover
#

since I havnt found any fix and it’s been a really long time would yall just give up atp if you were me? Laptop still works but just not for games. I can always overclock the Gpu an extra 400mhz to maybe get an extra 20-40 frames but ofc that’s still leaving like 50-70% of the performance just locked away behind the issue

#

And if I want to get it replaced I’d have to do small claims court since Msi is choosing to ignore me every time I’ve worked with them

livid idol
#

Try a BBB complaint. I had the same issue with HP and their VP of customer relations emailed me personally within 24 hours of the complaint.

#

Those BBB complaints go straight to the top and the higher ups just want you to disappear, so they'll do just about anything within reason to fix things.

#

As far as actually fixing it, yeah I'd give up on that personally by this point

#

Make sure if you send it to them it has all the original firmware on it

heady plover
#

Yeah I’ve been told that’s another option. Wanted to see if I could fix it before doing all that though. It would be really annoying if they try to spin the fault onto me but I’m fairly certain I still have proof of this being an issue before I did any troubleshooting so let’s hope they don’t try it 💀

heady plover
livid idol
#

That falls under software which you're totally free to modify

#

I was more concerned about the gpu vbios

heady plover
#

Yeah I made sure to save the vbios way back when this all started. Should be good then

abstract drift
#

Hello, im new to the server, i was just wondering if I should be paying attention to certain days or times that restocks might happen or any information that might help me get a MSI 5080 inspire model off of newegg

livid idol
#

I'm afraid we can't really help you there

#

No one here works for Newegg except the admins, and they work in a completely different area from inventory

abstract drift
#

ah, thats ok. I was pretty disappointed on launch day, virtually no stocks from any vendors across the board, site issues, etc. Hopefully we can expect some good news in the near future

livid idol
#

One thing I do know right now is the factories are currently shut down for Lunar New Year observance. It can take a few weeks to get back up to full production capacity. I wouldn't expect any major restocks until March at the earliest.

#

Maybe a sprinkling here and there before that

heady plover
#

the only thing on that laptop that WAS user error was its hinge being broken. the hinge design on those laptops are really wimpy for how heavy the laptop actually is so if anyone (in my case it was a kid) picks it up by the display a couple times and for long enough it'll bulge and only be held together by the glue on the cover for the display instead of the actual hinges screws. after enough use this progresses onto the cover starting to peel off and eventually that one hinge is no longer attached to the display. would they be able to deny the claim because of this even though it has nothing to due with the actual issue at hand?

livid idol
#

They would have to prove that the hinge damage caused the power problem, which is a tall order

heady plover
#

awesome

livid idol
#

Also you can totally claim warranty for a defective hinge design so go ahead and include that in the RMA request so they're not surprised when it gets there

heady plover
livid idol
#

Ah I see. I'd still go the BBB route and see where that leads. Make sure to mention that the issue started while it was still in warranty and you're now out of warranty because they ignored you. That'll light a fire under their asses for sure because that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

heady plover
#

alright, thanks

little slate
#

looks like all the 5090 bundles are gone from newegg, wonder if they're prepping to put up different ones 🤔

odd siren
#

It sucks but I reckon this will be ongoing for at least a couple months

#

If you can hold on just a liitttllleee bit longer

#

Then you'll be able to roll up without issues

junior locust
#

Wow almost like I CALLED IT

# odd siren

seems like theres no positive news in the gaming segment of pcs anymore

#

9800x3d was like the last good thing

rich cedar
#

What about intel GPUs?

#

Those were good

abstract drift
#

We need an intel arc b770 as a savior, 20-24gb of vram and raster performance of a 7900xt or better.

rich cedar
#

Someone said the B580 was gonna get a 24 gig model

dusk nexus
#

How usable is the 3080 10gb at 4k nowadays? Someone told me that “it gets killed” due to the vram.

Obviously higher settings are preferred but I really would not have an issue using DLSS and like medium settings.

keen nacelle
#

The 4090 can't handle 60 fps at 4k ultra settings without dlss in some games

random walrus
keen nacelle
#

Thats true

random walrus
#

but yeah 10gb might be a little rough for 4k. 1440p would be a better option for 3080

dusk nexus
#

Yea I wouldn’t be looking to run RT at all

Currently running at 1440 was trying to see if I could stagger upgrades bc I’m really not impressed with the GeForce 50 series

#

Ik it’s a massive uplift for my card but I don’t wanna “reward” selling the 70 as an 80 this year

random walrus
#

could look for a used 4080 super, or wait and see what AMD comes out with

rich cedar
#

Game changer? More like we need a price and name changer lol

#

Thats the background for their discord logo thing

dusk nexus
#

If they hit that I think I’ll have no choice but to go red and pray FSR 4 is actually good lol

keen nacelle
random walrus
#

I'd take a non oled 1440p over 4k personally.

#

the extra fps is worth it to me

livid idol
#

I'm regularly getting close to or exceeding 12GB VRAM and I play at 1440p

#

But you can always turn down texture quality if you run out

dusk nexus
livid idol
#

Higher refresh rates mostly

#

And unless you're going for 32+ inches, 4k is just too high pixel density at an average sitting distance

#

And as for the GPU I wouldn't expect to be able to get much until March at the earliest. The 9070 XT looks interesting.

dusk nexus
keen nacelle
livid idol
#

You could turn settings down to low and the 3080 should be able to do about 40 fps at 4k

dusk nexus
keen nacelle
#

Damn 3080 is a 4.5 year old card.

#

That just hit me

livid idol
#

Some games are easier to run but modern stuff like black myth, yeah it's that bad

dusk nexus
dusk nexus
#

Still crushes at 1440 that’s why I was curious about the 4k

Sometimes they go out of stock before they ever go in stock

They're gone in seconds if you do get an "in stock" page

So the 5060 ti? You'll be waiting a while

I wouldn’t spend my money on that lmao

It was a jeopardy joke

I might consider a 5050 if they make one with 12 gigs of Vram for under 400

livid idol
#

The 5060 is going to have 8GB, 5050 with 12GB will never happen

rich cedar
#

Yeah forget it

#

I really want one but can’t justify that kind of money

livid idol
#

5060 ti will have a 16GB version with a nerfed bit bus again like 4060 ti did

#

In fact lemme just save you some time, here's what we know

#

A lot of this looks very familiar but increased core count and power limits compared to 40 series

#

Oh and GDDR7 but it's not the magic pill we hoped for in this configuration, it's still limited by the bus

rich cedar
#

Ah

#

I might consider a 4060TI if they have a sale or something

livid idol
#

4060 ti is worse than the 3070 so you might as well just get a 3070

keen nacelle
#

It's literally just 40 series with new vram and new names

rich cedar
#

Ah

odd siren
rich cedar
#

Hmm

livid idol
#

7700 XT crushes both too

rich cedar
#

Definitely interesting

#

Yeah i had a look at the 7700XTs

#

It is newer and a slightly better perfoming card

rich cedar
#

Minecraft looks really good with RTX derpyBlob

random walrus
#

Used 3080/4070, or go AMD

livid idol
random walrus
#

Yeah I wasn't trying to reccomend the 4060ti, just saying that the 3070 is barely better

livid idol
#

But it is cheaper as well as better so you might as well

rich cedar
#

I have tried so hard to justify a nvidia card, and i just dont think i can

#

The only thing i like about the nvidia cards is power draw, ray tracing and apparently the drivers are nicer to deal with, and, a better resale value when i go to sell

#

Thats It

#

Everything else has me going hard towards a RX6800

#

Things like vram, price, memory bandwidth and such

sharp hedge
#

You think I could Run a dual gpu if I got a 4070 and a 3060ti?

forest oasis
#

For what

cerulean rover
#

what are you planning to do with it? not many things can use multiple GPUs now

peak swift

RIP SLI

forest oasis

Rest in piss

sharp hedge
#

Idk my pc had the automatic repair loop and I tried everything to fix it

#

It won’t even let me reset it completely

forest oasis
#

Automatic repair could just be from you turning the PC on and off in a short span of time?

#

Idk the context

sharp hedge
#

I just pops up the blue screen with automatic repair and I tried to fix it but it’s bein weird

forest oasis

I think the issue is the blue screening not what comes after???

Stock normalization for 5090 is predicted for late May, which is insane. 4 months of waiting I guess

keen nacelle
#

my guess is 2027

#

once the 6090 is out

solemn panther
#

The real upgrade

keen nacelle
#

it'll have 48gb vram and be about 10% better than the 5090

peak swift
#

Get ready for 10x MFG

livid idol
#

All the frames are AI generated and all the game has to do is provide wireframe and vector info. It loads textures using directstorage.

cerulean rover
livid idol
#

The joke is that directstorage causes reduced performance

#

Even in very fast systems

cerulean rover
#

I still wish that it gets better and implemented more often

solemn panther
livid idol
#

Ratchet and Clank gets better 1% lows if you just delete the DS libraries from the game folder

cerulean rover
#

Lol

solemn panther
#

Seems like NgreedAi is going to suffer this gen with their 5080. Less people care

rich cedar
#

Eh the Nvidia discord tells a different story

#

I was actually looking at 4070TI Supers until i found out they are like 700 dollars

odd siren
#

Lmfaoooo

solemn panther
livid idol
#

lol yeah. In the Intel discord everyone was hyping up the 285K like it was the best thing that would ever exist... and then the reviews happened

odd siren
#

Even that thing sold out

#

But the 245 and 265 did not

#

What I hate more than anything about these stock issues

#

Is that nvidia discontinued old gen

#

So no matter how you cut these, they will sell, they've given everyone no alternative

#

AMD is unexpectedly winning from this as the bad hype is turning positive as people actually feel like they couldn't possibly be any worse anymore, just poorly priced

rich cedar
#

Yeah basically

livid idol
#

Nvidia is fully aware of this, and they're also very aware that they're losing gamer market share to AMD

odd siren
#

They aren't tho

#

AMD has lost market share in radeon YoY since like 2021

rich cedar
odd siren
#

You'd be surprised but it's true

#

We are a small facet if you compare to market research

livid idol
#

The gaming division at Nvidia is the only one that posted a loss in profits last I checked

odd siren
#

Radeon is at like one of it's all time lows of about 8% as of 2024 Q3

#

I remember checking this

rich cedar
#

I really need them to do something good in march to sway me away from a 6800

odd siren
#

This is gonna be wild west for months

#

They have stock, but I bet they'll get scalped and swept up hard if it's even remotely good

rich cedar
#

Ah

odd siren
#

To me buying last gen at a slightly better premium, right this point in time, more appealing

#

Yes, there's value potential

rich cedar
#

Mhm for sure

odd siren
#

But zero guarantee

#

Absolutely zero guarantee you get one

rich cedar
#

Alright well that’s good advice, I really need to grind hard for a few weeks then go snag a 6800, my job situation is bleh atm which is why i havent pulled the trigger

odd siren
#

You could wait a week or so, see if it gets better for Nvidia's side of things

#

Yeah

#

If anything I would be compelled to a 7800XT or 7700XT personally

#

Just because they have chances of FSR 4 compatibility

#

6800 won't

#

If you don't mind this, it's fine

rich cedar
#

Yeah i had a good look at the 7700xt but the memory bus is 192 vs 256 for the 6800, idk if that matters too much

odd siren
#

It doesn't

#

Unlike nvidia AMD pioneered the infinity fabric

rich cedar
#

Ah?

odd siren
#

Which grossly reduces bit bus needs

#

Yeah

#

It's something like

#

312bit nvidia is equivalent to like 256bit amd?

#

Something like that

rich cedar
#

Ah

#

Less is more?

odd siren
#

It's actually a great tech in the right spot

#

It's better next to team green easy

#

But in terms of actual impact, minimal

#

You'd see bigger impact changing to pcie gen 2 on your motherboard

rich cedar
#

Yeah like i said ive been looking for a few weeks to replace my rx580 8 gig, its all window shopping and research arm

odd siren
#

All good

rich cedar
#

I have a B450 Tomahawk Max if that matters

odd siren
#

I'm just keeping everyone in tune with my thinking

#

Cos a lot of us have seen what covid did

#

And not even 40 series was this bad

#

But I'm the numbers guy

#

I see everything for what it is

#

Lol if I suddenly turn around in a sweat-fuelled panic saying "Buy a 3080 now now now" I'll have a good reason 😂

livid idol
#

Infinity fabric is one of the reasons why AMD is better at 1080p than 4k, relative to Nvidia

odd siren
livid idol
#

4k needs to access textures more frequently, more memory load, but less bandwidth available

odd siren
#

Oh wait no b450 has rebar doesn't it

livid idol
#

It does yes

odd siren
#

I think the max does with ryzen 5000

#

Yeah

#

Nah you'll be fine with whatever

livid idol
#

It's B350/A320 that might not depending on the model

odd siren
#

Up until like 4080/XTX you can run a combo with a b450

odd siren
#

No issues

solemn panther
rich cedar
#

Thats good! Yeah those 2 cards are what ive basically narrowed it down to the last few weeks

rich cedar

For a gpu

#

There aren't even that many good games that I'm willing to play nowadays either

rich cedar

rich cedar
#

I was looking at Nvidia soley for Minecraft ray tracing

#

Its so freaking cool

livid idol
#

Minecraft runs perfectly fine on AMD

#

It's not a hardware ray tracing thing in that game, it's software

rich cedar
#

Wait really? 🥹

#

Sweet

craggy pier
#

Even then amd raytracing at the high end has no problem running ray tracing on minecraft lol, ive done it myself in 1440p high render distance, high everything

#

Just no pathtracing and youre good lol

livid idol
#

XTX runs at 75 fps on 1080p ultra, 51 at 1440p ultra

#

Which yes is lower than Nvidia

#

But still very playable, especially if you reduce inconsequential settings

craggy pier
#

Yep

#

And even then, just do some lighter ray tracing

#

Itll feel better all around

livid idol
#

I would never recommend maxing RT settings in any game tbh, except for screenshots

craggy pier
#

Yep

#

On gre i can play the second highest sildurs shaders at a VERY high render and settings w 1440p and consistently get about 100fps

#

There really is just zero point maxing it out

#

When going one tier down looks the exact same

#

Diminishing returns

livid idol
#

Why set ultra when high looks nearly the same after all

craggy pier
#

Yet it doesnt because you arent roleplaying a slide show

#

High is just better

rich cedar
#

Yeah id probably be doing RT at 1080 lol

#

I want a 1440P monitor and thats probably gonna be my next upgrade after the GPU again

craggy pier
#

Depending on what you have that could entail more than just a gpu upgrade, psu for example

rich cedar
craggy pier
#

thats what i would recommend personally for new

#

but for me i would try and get a used 6950 xt in good condition if possible

#

although thats weaker ray and upscaling if you care about that

rich cedar
#

Oo

#

Interesting

#

Would I be good with my 600 watt if i went with a 7700XT?

craggy pier
#

also if youre upgrading from a 580 i would recommend jumping a bit ahead and sticking to a 7800xt, its a nice bit of extra vram and raster that i think is worth it in the long run

rich cedar
#

Ah okay

craggy pier
#

although a 7700xt isnt a bad choice at all, i just think going the extra foot since you kind of already need a new psu anyways is worth it

#

even if it means saving up a bit

rich cedar
#

Yeah currently between jobs lol, i will be saving a bit for this

craggy pier
#

then id just wait and check back when youre able to, prices always fluctuating and what not

rich cedar
#

Yeah true

#

Hopefully sometime around march

craggy pier
#

but for the processor you have and all that i do think a 7800xt would be a really sweet addition especially if you want to try 1440p

rich cedar
#

Yeah definitely

#

Ill keep an eye on prices, hopefully they move closer to the low 400s for the next few weeks

craggy pier
#

shoot youd be lucky to get 450 new

#

if you can get a 7700xt for 380 or similar i honestly might opt for that instead

rich cedar
#

Yeah i was seeing 6800s for like 365-370 and 7700XTs for low 400s

craggy pier
#

for what you want id stray from the 6000 series tbh

rich cedar
#

Oki dole

craggy pier
#

unless you can get a really good deal on its high end

#

6900xt or 6950xt

rich cedar
#

Yeah the VRAM is what leaned me towards that

i was talking about getting one locally and he was like you want mine for 250 once i upgrade

Hes ran furmark for me

and just shown me how it does in Valhalla and RDR2

even a cheeky gpu coil whine vid kekw

though it isnt with anything running so there isnt much

he admitted its sometimes noticable in quiet cutscenes in games

dudes been nothing but honest

(obviously the bottom card)

when my gre is running at 100% you can hear the living hell out of it in quiet cutscenes, it has pretty intense coil whine

he said the fans were louder though

i use a tri fan

yeah well i think tri fan for a 1060 3gb is slightly overkill

i should honestly lower the fan speed scale

just watch a tutorial for your specific card

why so if its getting replaced

craggy pier

actually it might be a good idea to chuck that in a small secondary system

fresh sun
#

maybe if i sell it ill repaste it and test it

craggy pier
#

use it like a server, for recording space, theres a lot of uses you could have

craggy pier
#

find some used igpu system and boom

fresh sun

but i really dont have much use for a NAS

craggy pier

fair

fresh sun

nor something like Plex server since i just use stremio

craggy pier

idk theres just a lot of qol you can have from a secondary sytem

plus you can have an easier time reselling honestly

Cause i also have a CPU laying around from my recent upgrade lol

and that cpu is dog

Improper plug insertion

Which I had to explain to every single 4080 or 4090 owner back then

#

PLUG ALL THE WAY

#

CHECK 3 TIMES

#

A lot of people didn't know this

#

I'd have to tell them to check right before they turned it on the first time as moving it around can wiggle it loose

#

Even in the proper cases, if you have a native cable, it can melt on both sides

#

It did in the above article

#

People think native makes it better, it does not, less 12vhpwr plugs in the system AT ALL, the better

#

The 8 pin converting adapters are safer, and you check the plug is in all the way at the final step by pushing it in one more time

#

12vhpwr is a nightmare imo

hot bough
#

Yep definitely sounds like it.

#

The J2C video on the 5090's power cable was hillarious

odd siren
#

The new cable just looks like they use a nicer paracord sleeve

#

So it bends better

#

Cos the bend itself wasn't the issue it was the resulting pins coming loose from strain

#

Be it plug or pins themselves

odd siren
#

And the other one is fine so you can check the card isn't dead before claiming warranty

#

Two bullets in the chamber, if you lose a vbios then you lose a vbios

Needs an spi to un-corrupt it

All that story tells me is it is extremely risky to try and use a 50 series card rn

The drivers are clearly wildly immature

It's crazy how unprepared Nvidia seems to be for this launch

February is probably the worst time to release too with the lunar new year

It's not to be honest it all makes sense, they cannot ship enough AI chips so you betcha they gonna put gpus on second place to their real money makers. Plus is not like the have any competition or any hurry to have stock.

Yeah the CC560 does fit the gpu

and its the same price as the CC360

its just bigger and comes with an extra fan

I wanted the CG580 but its out of stock everywhere

its such a good looking case

so boooo

H5 flow is ok but nothing special

why specifically the cc560 over the h5?

fresh sun

nvm the old one also has an ARG version

keen nacelle

Nzxt cases are just generally overhyped, their fans tend to be mediocre at best (h6 flow has especially bad fans,) and just as a brand I'm very much not a fan
