That sucks but what are we talking probably like $15 here for AMD? Non trivial, but I think thats more crazy for the AIO market itself.

Today I learned that since nVidia doesn't let partners build custom Titan X cards with upgraded VRMs, they produced external VRM cards that you are supposed to solder to your Titan X, replacing the included VRMs, using copper sheet metal to handle the current. Jesus Christ look at this poo poo:

FaustianQ posted:Volta in 2018 when [hopefully] HMC matures. 2018 is a bit of a gap from 2016 so I'm wondering if that means a minor refresh of Pascal? quote:While admittedly HMC has shown much slower progress compared to HBM which is already being used in AMD’s latest GPU code named Fiji, HMC still offers some substantial benefits for the server and HPC market. And that’s where Volta is set to shine. I love how the article so clearly lists what these "substantial benefits" are! Fantastic journalism right there, folks. Top notch!

FaustianQ posted:Pascal pretty close production apparently. Interesting to note is the claim that Pascal will be compute heavy, likely just GP100 but I wonder how Nvidia is going to disable it on consumer products? So should I hold onto my 660Ti until Pascal drops? I don't want to get a 970 but then later on find out its gimped for DX12 games.

I think this is really the best advice for anyone who likes cost-effective upgrades. we are going from 28nm to what 16 or 14?

I wonder if Nvidia has any plan/interest/pact with Satan to make a 690 successor. An HBM2, compact dual-gpu card sound nice. No, I'm not counting that 3 grand titan-whatever

So thats with async compute still not "enabled" ? I wonder if that's just bs from nvidia and it cant be enabled. In any case, at least the 980ti didnt poo poo its pants, which is good because thats what I own lol.

My suspicion on the async stuff is that some core piece of NVIDIA's driver isn't set up to handle things happening asynchronously in that manner, so they're scrambling to do a bunch of heavy lifting there and get perf in a good spot before turning it on.

drat, that really shows just how good of a card the 290/X is. It's funny to think that a card released in 2013 will still be a good recommendation into 2016.

"In power consumption tests, our GPU test rig pulled 449W at the wall socket when equipped with an R9 390X, versus 282W with a GTX 980." It's doing so well because they overjuiced an old architecture that's comfortable at ~850 MHz to 1070.

Praising the card for its longevity in the GPU market is a pretty glass-half-full to me... I'd rather there be two generations of improvements since then. I think it sucks. Imagine even with incremental releases they'd easily be ahead of the nvidia offerings.

It's not totally AMD's fault. They obviously had 20nm designs at least partially ready since they paid the penalty to migrate the designs to FinFET.

I got a GTX 970 a couple months ago, and I hadn't had any trouble from it except this morning when I woke it up from sleep mode it had white screens with randomly spaced red and blue (I think) pixels, and they'd flash to black and back to the speckled white repeatedly. I've never had a failure like that and restarting the PC immediately fixed it. Does that sound like something I should be concerned about? (i5, windows 10)

Thanks. With new hardware I'm always worried I got a lemon, but with GPUs the expectation of them never loving up is probably unrealistic.

Anyone familiar with XFX warranty crap? I can't get any info out of them on my RMA. USPS says the card was delivered on the 16th. Haven't had any updates on my RMA on the XFX site yet, it still says inbound. Does anyone know if this is normal?

(i5, windows 10) Uh this happened to me a couple of days ago. I've had my 970 since launch and never had any problems before I'd guess it's a current driver issue. I've been gaming for a few hours today without any problems.

I hate to bear bad news, but 8 days for a warranty turnaround isn't uncommon at places with even a great RMA reputation... which XFX doesn't necessarily have. I wouldn't worry that it's not going to happen or anything at "just" 8 days

(i5, windows 10) Flashing weird corruption on your monitor can typically be caused by VRAM being dodgy, but if there is a VRAM testing tool equivalent to the ole memtest86 I don't know what it is.
