ima pay a lil extra for the 24gb card

#

over the 16gb card

opaque sedge
#

Um why is ur power supply intake at the top

wise wigeon
#

if the 5070ti is 4080/S levels

#

its higher end models are also in the 900s

#

but you get the nvidia software suite

fresh timber
opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

so thats why if these are the usd prices

#

they are incredibly disappointing

fresh timber
ancient swift
opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

you say that but the 3090 was only 10% better than a 3080

#

and that wasnt that long ago

opaque sedge
opaque sedge
#

30 series sounds like it aged horribly ngl

wise wigeon
ancient swift
wise wigeon
#

if you got it at an ok price

opaque sedge
#

The base was 10 right

wise wigeon
#

yep

#

i got one

#

then they released a 3080 ti on par with the 3090

#

with less vram

#

so its just like

ancient swift
#

Baby 3090

wise wigeon
#

idk why you think nvidia wouldn't pull this kind of stuff off

#

there was a bleender leak putting it like 4% behind a 5080

#

but leks are leaks

#

all these are what iffs

opaque sedge
#

Guys off topic but has valve ever discounted the deck oled

ancient swift
opaque sedge
#

Ic

wise wigeon
#

its been out for like a year yeah?

#

dont they sell refurbished?

opaque sedge
#

Kind of interested in one

ancient swift
#

I don't think they have refurbished oleds yet

#

Haven't checked

opaque sedge
#

And sells out in seconds

wise wigeon
#

unlucky

#

OLED is just a better model

#

i have the OG

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

or people just content enough with it

ancient swift
#

When they release steamOS that'll be exciting

wise wigeon
#

but yeah my point is unless the 9070 series seriously blows the performance game out of the water

#

its looking pretty underwhelming

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

plenty of people are willing to take a small to moderate performance delta for a RTX card

fresh timber
#

I’ll give the rad an exhaust fan

wise wigeon
#

not saying its wise

#

but people have different wants and needs

opaque sedge
ancient swift
wise wigeon
#

I have both an android and a iphone

ancient swift
#

I get unlocked Chinese phones instead of fancy flagships.

wise wigeon
#

if given the opputunity to pick a iphone 16 pro max and a s25 U

#

i'd actually pick the iphone

ancient swift
#

I have the oneplus 11 right now. Had one from redmagic prior.

opaque sedge
#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

e-books or physical textbooks

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Feels like it'd be a pain to carry around physical

#

hmm

#

Also costs a bit more

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

iphone as of right now just has a better battery life and soc

hoary zodiac
#

Engineering

#

So yeahhhhh

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Probably gonna be bulky

wise wigeon
#

and its video is much better, android needs to start working on video

opaque sedge
#

Novel or reading as a hobby book def physical

hoary zodiac
#

Engineering workload 💀

wise wigeon
#

pixel is the stills king but android video is still lacking

#

like i have other apple products but i rarely use many ecosystem features so i'm not all that integrated

#

cant believe macos finally got window snap but its ugly

hoary zodiac
#

I prefer tiling

wise wigeon
#

it was jujst really annoying like trying to look at two different programs or instances on apple

#

think there was a third party app but i really wasnt feeling like paying $5 for it

#

i keep seeing new xtx builds pop up in my feed

#

and my desire to swap to a 100w instead grows

#

1000w*

hoary zodiac
#

XTX's getting overpriced

wise wigeon
#

unfortnunately

hoary zodiac
#

I'm seeing XTX at 4090 msrp

wise wigeon
#

ok its not that bad everywhere

#

its mostly just getting close to old msrps

#

in the states

#

think ive seen it cheaper in EU

hoary zodiac
#

I saw one $900 one yesterday

#

imo, above 1K it's not worth it

wise wigeon
#

usd or aud

hoary zodiac
#

USD

wise wigeon
#

i got one at msrp

#

unfortunately

hoary zodiac
#

The XT is like 1K in AUD

#

The msrp is uhhh

wise wigeon
#

but its like xfx's flagship

hoary zodiac
#

How much was the XTX msrp again?

wise wigeon
#

the one closest to the nitro plus

#

1k

hoary zodiac
#

Eh

#

I mean if it's a nitro level card

#

🤷‍♂️

wise wigeon
#

my model was technically 1100 at launch

#

and nitro plus was 1200 at launch

hoary zodiac
#

You get what you paid for

#

A higher end XTX so

hoary zodiac
#

Not the best perf/$ wise but

wise wigeon
#

nitro in stock was technically another 30 dollars

hoary zodiac
#

Higher end models like the nitro tend to cost more

wise wigeon
#

but thats on amazon and it wouldnt come til like march

hoary zodiac
#

They are built pretty well so

#

Well ALL the XTXs are well-built

wise wigeon
#

like early to mid march

wise wigeon
frigid stag
hoary zodiac
#

Oh

wise wigeon
#

and also the asrock blower model exists

hoary zodiac
#

I forgot reference was a thing

#

Reference/FE meme

frigid stag
#

Dunno how amd manages to have issues with each generation

#

Rdna 2 was the first one in a while that was ok ish but they also had their fair share of driver issues for the first year or 2

wise wigeon
#

this the blower xtx

#

rdna1 was a disaster class of driver issues

frigid stag
#

They couldn’t figure out clock speed for the gpu for months kekw

wise wigeon
#

amd still hasnt shaken off the driver memes that came from it

frigid stag
#

In reviews you’d be seeing 5700xt’s running at like 600mhz or something absurdly low like that

wise wigeon
#

even now xtx still have issues

frigid stag
#

Oh ye out of all xtx owners I’ve talked to most have said, don’t buy an xtx kekw

proud jackal
#

the minigames at the golden saucer are driving me crazy

wise wigeon
#

iirc 7000 series still has driver timeout issues

frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

we shall see

unreal trail
#

theo going through it

wise wigeon
#

if 5070ti is like around 4080S perf i'll try to snag it and return the xtx

frigid stag
#

It’s weird cause you see people complaining about driver issues but the second someone asks about an amd gpu or makes a video complaining about it, everyone rushes to the comment section to say how stable and perfect they are

wise wigeon
#

even the 70 ti's higher end models are generally cheaper than the xtx

frigid stag
#

It’ll probably be a couple % slower than 4080

wise wigeon
#

and i prefer the nvidia software suite

wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

Ye that’s kinda why I’m holding off upgrading from my 2080

dusk knot
#

How much VRAM does a 5070 TI have?

frigid stag
#

16gb

wise wigeon
#

16gb so was much as the 5080 lol

#

if it is 4080 tier

dusk knot
#

What's the fake price?

wise wigeon
#

5080 becomes a worse deal

#

$750

#

there is only a handful of msrp models

dusk knot
#

Hm

wise wigeon
#

amd fanboys are insistent the xt will be their savior

dusk knot
#

What a BORING gen

wise wigeon
#

right?

#

unfortunately my 3080 is kind of showing its age for my current game catalogue

#

but my upgrade wont go to waste completely

opaque sedge
#

Despite only buying 6 months ago

wise wigeon
#

my brother is doing an itx build and the 3080 should just fit the fractal ridge

#

so im selling ti to him for like 200-250

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

3080 10gb

#

but it is the highest end evga model

frigid stag
wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

Wonder if that 16gb will end up being like 13-14gb on nvidia

wise wigeon
#

wonder why

frigid stag
#

Unless they fixed their compression on the newer gpus

wise wigeon
#

plus doesnt dlss4 like decrease vram usage?

frigid stag
#

Kinda but they’re working on something that will

#

Besides I don’t think there even are any games that use over 16gb vram even at 4k

wise wigeon
#

oh yeah the new thing with "96% less vram usage"

frigid stag
#

The people complaining about it probably don’t even play games

#

They just doomed post about hardware online

#

Or hyping up hardware that they won’t buy

wise wigeon
#

look people whined about the like slan wake or silent hill preset that pegs vram

#

like omg 16 gb isnt wenough

opaque sedge
frigid stag
#

It’s fine even on 12gb cards

#

As for Alan wake 2 idk, game isn’t even good

wise wigeon
#

it is pretty

frigid stag
#

Eh

wise wigeon
#

different strokes for different folks i guess

frigid stag
#

Yah

wise wigeon
#

i mean there was that convo i had the other day

#

about wilds and elden ring

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

i remember them complaining about tifa's nerfs

frigid stag
#

I played the new version of that on the PS4

opaque sedge
#

Nerfs?

frigid stag
#

It’s not demanding at all lol

opaque sedge
#

Was she like a cracked dps in the og or smth?

wise wigeon
#

but you know they were gooning over the situp minigame in rebirth

frigid stag
#

Dps?

opaque sedge
#

Cuz she still is insanely powerful in the remake

frigid stag
#

It’s a single player game

wise wigeon
#

nerf to her heavies

opaque sedge
#

frigid stag
#

He means boobs kekw

wise wigeon
#

yeah it was a dumb reason

proud jackal
opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

look

frigid stag
#

It’s funny cause someone mentioned it on Twitter and they got called an incel by some Twitter users, turned out to be a woman kekw

opaque sedge
#

Wasn’t the og nearly 3 decades ago

hoary zodiac
#

ahhahaha wtf

frigid stag
#

Twitter users not knowing what insults to use

wise wigeon
#

people are screaming dei this and dei that nowadays without a single thought about what it actually means

frigid stag
#

It is pretty obvious what it means

misty sparrow
frigid stag
#

It’s easy to look up

opaque sedge
wise wigeon
#

there are some examples of hilariously incompetant people in there for token diversity

wise wigeon

but like 90% of the time its not an issue

frigid stag
#

Actual meme company

wise wigeon
#

man the core reactor 2 looks so good but

#

those cables are so ugly

frigid stag
#

Man I had a whole response wrote out kekw

#

But probably shouldn’t be talking about this cuz it’s close to politics kinda

wise wigeon
#

eh

#

we had a semipolitical thing the other day ngl

frigid stag
#

It wasn’t even a controversial opinion or anything that I had to say

proud jackal
#

change the subject

wise wigeon
#

nzxt psus are rated well by aris but

proud jackal
#

ty RainbowHeadbang

wise wigeon
#

idk naxt kinda lost my trust on things

#

but the c1000 is just like $10 more over my rm850x

frigid stag
frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

see i'm sure my rm850x is fine

frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

but the extra headroom would be nice

frigid stag
#

You sound like you want a new psu kekw

wise wigeon
#

well i bought one

#

with the idea i would get a 5080

#

but uh

#

yeah

#

and its a good highly rated psu

wise wigeon
#

but that extra 10-20 bucks could get me a 1000w

#

its good but not modular

#

what the

#

its 12v2x6 is only 300w

opaque sedge
frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

if only the rm1000x was on sale

#

my local bestbuy has them in stock

#

and i only got 2 weeks left on the return policy

frigid stag
#

I mean if u really want 1000w that much go for it

wise wigeon
#

i mean i can

#

it wouldn't be that difficult

#

i just returned a case to wegg

#

i guess i'm just kind of afraid of the xtx powerdraw

#

and if i go down the OC path down along the line

#

idk would you guys truest a mzxt psu?

#

because honeslty its looking like the best choice

#

i guess the lian li edge is there too

#

hmm those lian li cables do be looking nice

frigid stag
wise wigeon
#

how we feel about lian li

frigid stag
#

Idk they seem nice

wise wigeon
#

usually psu market is dominated by cwt

#

but lian li is helly

#

only weird thing about the edge is the fan

idle nexus
#

Nufinish > Carnuba wax

gentle canyon
idle nexus
north crescent
wise wigeon
#

C1000 is well reviewed by aris

#

Lian li edge is like $10 dollars

#

Has some nicer cables but

#

The ls shape in a standard non dual chamber case means it’s pulling air from the area above the psu shroud

#

Otherwise it looks good and is rated well

#

Plus the cables are nice

#

But I wouldn’t be lying if Amazon trying to upscale me isn’t working

#

Would*

#

Upsale*

#

The 1200w is $20 more

fresh timber
#

I went through the pain of installing that fan just for it not to matter

#

With and with out temps are under 60c

wise wigeon
#

Damn that psu spooks me

tranquil pebble
#

hopefully not a bomb at least

wise wigeon
#

The smart series is the riskier ones iirc

fresh timber
#

CPU hits 53c and is so much more quiet compared to stock cooler

north crescent
#

Assuming TT hasn't updated their white Smart series, then that PSU has a pretty high rate of dying in more violent ways than normal, killing hardware and such

fresh timber
#

Ima have fun swapping a 5500 into this

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

I might need it for when I swap a 5500 into it

#

Only thing I really want now is better fans that are quiet and maybe 1000rpm, and a fan controller

idle nexus
#

is that the only fan on your rad?

fresh timber
#

Yes

wise wigeon
#

Looks like it’s conflict with the ram

idle nexus
wise wigeon
#

Wait

fresh timber
#

I may

wise wigeon
#

It’s that mix matched ram

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

Is that*

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

if you don't care if the fans are PWM (voltage control for speed, i.e., 3-pin), a 5-pack of P12s is $24 https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-P12-Pacco-Silenziosa-Ottimizzata/dp/B07HC7P3HJ?

fresh timber
#

I can put two fans in the rad if I relocate the hdd from the front to the top and rad to front

idle nexus
#
fresh timber
#

Theirs a front mounted hdd

#

Now the server is quieter then my gaming pc 😭😭

idle nexus
#

RAM has gotten really cheap at least

fresh timber
#

Ram isn’t really a problem anyways

#

I spent $80 on a new cpu, I’ll be fine for now

idle nexus
#

for which CPU?

fresh timber
#

R5 5500

idle nexus
#

damn that's what my stupid 12100F cost iirc lol

fresh timber
#

lol

idle nexus
#

I've used it for all of like 4 hours

fresh timber
#

Gosh this server being quiet scares me

#

Under full load I don’t have the stock cooler screaming

idle nexus
#

I put together a 13600K build with two 1080tis

#

& never even tested it lol

#

it's just sitting here

fresh timber

oh wait I think front are P14s

I love aio cause all the heat just goes to the top

idle nexus
#

SLI with stock coolers is pretty crappy tho

sinful blade
#

@idle nexus you ever have a mobo without jrainbow or any RGB headers?

idle nexus
#

that top one getsno air

wise wigeon

Only thing I don’t like about aio is cleaning the rads

fresh timber

Lmfaooo

fresh timber

I have two more but one is fried

fresh timber
#

Damn

#

Server is rebooting

#

Hopefully gpu pass through is working

misty sparrow
#

performance with two 1080tis in SLI i'd imagine would be pretty nuts

idle nexus
# sinful blade <@808772530017665024> you ever have a mobo without jrainbow or any RGB headers?

dunno if they stopped making this but I have a couple of these & they work well. You control the rgb lights with the controller via usb 2.0 headers so you don't need any rgb headers https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Chroma-Addressable-Controller-Compatibility/dp/B08K3TYWP6

misty sparrow
#

it was a pretty beefy card in its time so

idle nexus
#

& even with everything else working correctly, games will only utilize one of the GPUs

Professional Pascal being Titan/Quadro. Don't think 1080Ti had HB

misty sparrow
#

think about a world where SLI was widely supported

opaque sedge
idle nexus
#

here's with cables instead of HB bridge

#

it just says "Enabled (2 GPUs)" instead of "Enabled 2 GPUs, high-bandwidth"

#

which, I assume, matters lol

This looks better imo

#

A tax return is an amount you get back from paying too much in income taxes. It only makes sense to put your tax return forward (i.e. paying some of next year's taxes in advance) if you expect you'll owe more in taxes than your normal withholdings (what gets taken out of your paycheck to pay income tax) would cover next year

5090.1 release notes

  • We added a C14 socket to the rear of the GPU

5090.2 release notes

  • We fixed the melting issues

5090.3 release notes

  • The cards are melting again please don't buy this thing
misty sparrow
#

5090.4 release notes

  • Both ends of the cable are melting how is this happening
dense locust
frigid stag
#

Gpu connectors melting cause of that and the 4090 situation just showed how little some people in “tech” know

dense locust
#

It’s a connector issue

frigid stag
#

It’s pretty much the same as the 4090 situation

dense locust
#

We have never heard of 8pins melting before

frigid stag
#

The 4090s were literally melting

dense locust
#

Doesn’t the 4090 use the 12 pin

#

It’s a badly designed spec

#

User error is a thing Apple when they make a badly designed product so im inclined to believe the spec is faulty

frigid stag
#

Apple haven’t really had anything close to it

#

Except usb c I guess which is a downgrade IMO

dense locust
#

USB c is a downgrade?

frigid stag
#

From lightning ye

#

On the iPhones at least

dense locust
#

Lightning is usb 2.0

frigid stag
#

I can see why it’s on the iPad Pro’s since people use them to transfer files but on the iPhone it was mostly cause of eu regulation and whatever else

dense locust
#

Well they did do usb 2.0 on the lower end phones due to reusing the chip

#

Lighting was good for its time but it was outdated

frigid stag
#

How?

#

What’s the goal with usb c

#

Other than it being less durable

dense locust
#

Faster charging speeds and faster data transmission

pliant berry
#

I do think the connector itself was more robust on lightning

frigid stag
#

The charging is the same more or less

pliant berry
#

I just had a usb c port chip from a single insertion PepeRealizes

frigid stag
#

Plus most people don’t use their phone for anything more than social media posting emails a and texts

#

Data transmissions don’t matter on phones. On the iPad Pro’s they might cause creators do use them

dense locust
#

I will say that the Usb spec is hell

tranquil pebble
#

usb type d when?

dense locust
#

I do like that every Apple product uses the same connector now

frigid stag
#

Usb c low-key feels like connecting those Chinese speakers that say “blue tooth Connected!!” If you know you know

pliant berry
#

usb c is a lot more useful but if you only use wireless communication like prob 70% of users you won't care

dense locust
#

Bring back the 2.5mm headphone jack

Speaking of usb c I need to find if I can get some AirPods Pro with lightning

dense locust
frigid stag
#

Dunno if they still sell them

fresh timber
#

The thing about lighting is 90% of iPhone users don’t need more than usb 2.0

dense locust
#

I have seen 2.5 but they are rarer I just forgot

pliant berry
#

yeah but 2.5mm also exists. just not as common

dense locust
#

But you get what I mean

frigid stag
#

I just use the big charger and my charging speeds get boosted

wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

How?

fresh timber
frigid stag
#

It’s literally perfectly fine

fresh timber
#

It’s going its job rn and charges my phone

frigid stag
#

Plugging in usb c feels like connecting those cheap Chinese Bluetooth speakers from Amazon

wise wigeon
#

It works just not a fan of it

frigid stag
#

“Bluetooth connected”

wise wigeon
#

Better than micro usb though

#

Anything is better than microusb

dense locust
#

Micro usb c < lighting < usb c

wise wigeon
#

Old fat iPhone connectors are bottom tier though

Blue tooth sucks

pliant berry
#

part of my hate for usb c is just the usb spec. I want to rip my head off with the number of times I couldn't get a cable to negotiate at correct speeds

wise wigeon
#

Y’all remember those bulky iPhone chargers?

frigid stag
frigid stag
#

I still use one, it’s higher wattage

#

Charges faster

fresh timber
#

I just buy high end cables so I don’t deal with issues

dense locust
frigid stag
#

You know if they still sell lightning AirPods Pro?

wise wigeon
dense locust
#

Apple power brick are bulky

#

They still are

frigid stag
#

Ye I had one ages ago

pliant berry
dense locust
#

I have a 30w charger that’s just slightly larger than their 5w

frigid stag
#

With le iPhone 4s

#

👴

wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

Ye that

pliant berry
#

that one kinda sucked

frigid stag
#

And those rigid plastic phone cases that had a cover for front and back

fresh timber

dense locust
#

Thunderbolt is what usb should be

wise wigeon
#

Major issue with usb c is the variance

dense locust
#

Everything in usb is optional

#

Why

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

Some cables just blow

dense locust
#

Thunderbolt requires features to meet spec

wise wigeon
#

That’s why it’s good

fresh timber
#

USB is like that thing that if you buy good stuff it genuinely works, but is a pain in the ass when you dig further

dense locust
#

Anyways 12vhpwr sucks thank you for coming to my ted talk

wise wigeon
#

I mean if you bought a 1-5 dollar cable you get what you pay for

#

Or sometimes worse

#

I swear to got my og Apple cables degrade so much faster than any of my other cables

fresh timber
#

I buy nice cables and they work

#

:))

dense locust
#

GOLD PLATED USB C CABLE
$100

wise wigeon
#

Usually just stick to my nicer cables

#

Or chargers

#

Steam deck charger I have used so much

dense locust
#

I use anker cables for my iPad and iPhone

pliant berry
#

also since we are on the topic, why does no one sell short low profile usb c cables? I have been looking everywhere for a <6in usb c cable and can't find

wise wigeon
#

Niche use case I guess

dense locust
pliant berry
#

lol I use the steam deck charger for everything. not the best usb c connector i've seen but ehh good enough

pliant berry
wise wigeon
#

When I need to charge it’s there

#

65w block ftw

#

Not that many of the devices I charge with it support that level of fast charge

pliant berry
#

I have a few 65w bricks now. ugreen i think

dense locust
# pliant berry what in the hell is that
pliant berry
#

they are nice to have

fresh timber
#

I have a 100w brick from some random kid I stole from

#

It charges my stuff I don’t complain

dense locust
#

Just googled 6in usb c cable

pliant berry
#

6in1

#

lol

dense locust
wise wigeon
#

I hate being such a paranoid person

#

Like my 850 is fine

nocturne flicker
#

Do you think if you plug them all in and run all the devices at full power the cable will explode?

wise wigeon
#

I pretty much never OC, and I generally undervolt the heck out of things because I’m such a temp freak

#

I used to be worse though

dense locust
#

Windows refuses to work with my 5080 so I’m just using Linux as a temp until nvidia hopefully fixes it

wise wigeon
#

Used it be hella uncomfy seeing my gpu go over like 70-75c

fresh timber
dense locust
#

I can run games on Linux it’s just annoying

wise wigeon
#

What windows issues ngl

#

Like what was happening

dense locust
#

Screen goes black as soon as I install drivers

wise wigeon
#

Pretty wack

dense locust
#

Well the screen freezes for like 5 seconds then it goes black

wise wigeon
#

You’re using ddu too?

dense locust
#

Multiple times

fresh timber
#

Have you tried using my pc?

dense locust
fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

If I had a 5080 I ain’t trusting that thermaltake smart with anything

dense locust
#

The card works just fine on Linux so it’s not the card

wise wigeon
#

Weird stuff

#

I mean I’m glad it works well on Linux

fresh timber
#

It’s very fast

#

Very reliable

dense locust
#

Got 45 fps on portal rtx

wise wigeon
#

That thermaltake smart even have enough pcie cables for the adapter?

fresh timber

My other one is a c tier

#

Then I have a b tier

#

I have 3 psus

tranquil pebble
#

chaining PSUs isnt great even when they are identical

fresh timber
#

One psu handles gpu

#

Another does cpu

#

I wonder how my psu will handle the new cpu I have in mail

dense locust
#

I plug my gpu straight into the wall for maximum performance

fresh timber
#

Fr

tranquil pebble
#

plug it directly into the power line

fresh timber
#

Should I swap gpus

wise wigeon
#

What’s the case? H6?

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

Oh phanteks?

fresh timber
#

When I buy a new gpu the pc with the smart gets the 7700xt from main rig

wise wigeon
#

Ngl I swear only time I see phanteks is p400a and xt pro

fresh timber
#

The 7700xt barley fits in the case, iv tried lmfao, I can get it in, that’s abt it

#

I’m hoping for a 9070/9070xt

wise wigeon
#

Hope it’s decent

fresh timber
#

I Just want more fps

#

I’ll take 30-40% faster than my current gpu

tranquil pebble
#

imagine if they brought the ATI Rage brand back

wise wigeon
#

Unless it’s significantly better I’m probably not gonna be real fussy about it vs the xtx

fresh timber
#

I want 7900xt minimal,

wise wigeon
#

Only thing I kinda want is the better rt and fsr4

rancid juniper
#

The games: 40fps

#

👌

wise wigeon
#

Just kind of coping that fsr gets brought over to the xtx

fresh timber
#

i really should be buying nvidia but o well

wise wigeon

Should?

fresh timber

#

rancid juniper

wise wigeon

I mean streaming def still fine on AMD just not as good

fresh timber

i want an b580 and a 5070ti and a 9070xt

wise wigeon
#

Where you getting this money

fresh timber
#

#

wise wigeon

Keep in mind 3070ti is only 8gb which is starting to not be enough for some games

rancid juniper
wise wigeon
#

according to techpowerup the 3080 is about 20% faster

#
  • 2 gbs of vram
#

if the 3080 aint breaking the bank i'd probably go for it

#

but it depends on the overal price

#

because at a certain point you can just buy a new 7800xt

a used 3080 10GB is going for 420 USD

(these are approximate prices, converting from PHP to USD)

wise wigeon
#

its a lil high got both

remote geode
wise wigeon
#

like is this gap gonna hurt you financially

remote geode
#

potentially

#

I might need to liquidate some assets if I was to buy the 3080

#

I'm upgrading from a 1070ti btw

wise wigeon
#

like in the states that gap might be an 8hr shift but how much money is that gap for you?

#

and what are the new gpu prices like?

remote geode
#

about 1 and a half week of work

wise wigeon
#

idk its up to you whats work it

#

3080 is about 20% faster

#

but what is your use case

remote geode
wise wigeon
#

not for the 3070 like new gpus in general

remote geode
wise wigeon
#

like what is the cost of say a 7700xt

#

christ

wise wigeon
remote geode
#

nah, just some crypto and some stocks

wise wigeon
#

i mean what is that 20% worth to you

remote geode
#

I'll probably think about it more

wise wigeon
#

yeah give it some time

remote geode
#

or just keep waiting for B580 restocks

wise wigeon
#

b580 aint really in the same tier

#

but if its significantly cheaper

remote geode
#

yeah, but I'm interested in the 12GB VRAM on the card

remote geode
#

but, the B580 is brand new

wise wigeon
#

yeah issue is the driver overhead of the b580

remote geode
#

I do have a decent-ish CPU, the 11600k

with juiced cpus its more of a 4060 ti competitor

without weaker cpus it loses to 4060 at times
