Gwaihir posted:Something's really wrong if a card at only 83 degrees drops to like sub 500 mhz or 163mhz limp mode clocks, that's only supposed to happen at the hard cutoff of 95+ degrees C. At 83 it should just be back to completely stock/non boosted clocks. That cutoff is actually ~90°C for the GP104, otherwise the card only scales down by 13Mhz steps or so to roughly stock and sits there at about 82°C. So yea, if a GP104 instathrottles to desktop clocks on reach 83°C you might want to start the RMA paperwork.

As lazy and potentially deceptive as that is, it's 980 vs 1080 and 970 vs 1070. If they have a similar performance gap within 5% then the graph is roughly accurate. I'd have thought the 1070 would have been a bigger improvement over the 970 though so the graph is a disappointment.

Some questionable numbers for benchmarks/temps/etc. on the 1080s, selling them before the 1070 info is released, and AMD stating they're targeting midrange for now...yee haw fresh die shrink, eh. The wait for Computex is painful. 3D thread crosspost, heads up for anyone else that might be in my spot: After buying a USB card, a couple adapters, and spending a lot of time troubleshooting, I'm pretty sure I have a $600 paperweight Rift. I have a 7970 with only DVI and Displayport out (Rift is HDMI), the headset passes the connectivity checks, but I get a blank display except one time it gave some bright lines. Very similar to someone else on the Oculus forums who tried more adapters and such than I did and concluded: quote:Also From What I Understand, AMD and AIB Partners did not support DisplayPORT++ for the earlier GCN Cards.

interesting video where they dissassemble and mount a 980TI liquid cooler on the 1080GTX to see what clocks can be achieved. Apparently running stable around 2164Mhz compared to the max 2050 they ran on the FE. While the performance increase was negligable this did however stop the card from throttling back all the time due to thermals. You think aftermarket cards will see the same results or will they perhaps be able to pull away due to adding some more power to the card?

Suspicious isn't the word I'd go with but yea, they're clearly taking a strategy that drives sales of 1080 founders editions. Just as clear: the best strategy if you're going to buy a card is to wait for now, either for non-reference 1080s or a non-reference 1070.

Mikojan posted:interesting video where they dissassemble and mount a 980TI liquid cooler on the 1080GTX to see what clocks can be achieved. Yeah, it seems there is a hard limit on voltage and power draw in the vbios (I think to prevent enthusiastic idiots from bricking a card ?), and all overclocks right now are power limited. This either points to very diminishing returns on clocks past 2.0Ghz, issues with this stepping of GP104 having problems with higher voltages/power draw, or Nvidia trying to increase margin by removing the necessary components to run GP104 hungrier and faster. GP104 also runs better period when it's colder at same clocks if I am understanding Techpowerup at all, possibly another factor?

I heard some people already did voltmods etc, and couldn't really get much higher clocks. Which isn't that surprising, recent intel's chips also haven't really been profiting all that much from better voltage/cooling for overclocking, since about haswell. I guess the smaller lithography requires decent power supply to run well anyway, so there's not that much gap any more.

This is slightly worrying if true. A OCd 1080 would maybe get around 20% more performance than a OCd 980ti. That 789 euro pricetag for the reference card would be a bit steep.

It's a shame if true, but that's the downside of higher clocks. It took pretty good aftermarket 980 Ti versions to get a 30% gain over stock performance, so we might still see those numbers.

I easily saw 980ti's breaking the thousand dollar mark, so the premium priced founders edition 1080 coming over for $909 means that a price of $799 for the regular variants is possible. Still way more than I want to pay for a video card, but it's not conversion + 30%, which really offends me when it happens.

In case anyone cares, it's looking like Fry's may have been a bust. Not long after they were posted here, the links to the products went down. As of this morning, my order changed from arriving June 1st to backordered. So, either they didn't mean to have it up and backordered is a placeholder until they can actually sell them or their allotment went that quickly. Won't know until Friday, but it's looking like a very supply constrained launch.

teh_Broseph posted:Tried this one. Some more stuff from the other person with a 7970 in that Oculus thread, starts to get a little outside my experience level. That is, strange. You got a DVI to HDMI (Male) adapter? seems a bit odd. Usually you use a HDMI to DVI (Female) adapter and just plug the HDMI cable into that. ALSO, check that the cable is plugged in solid in the rift itself. The cable going to the HMD is removable and it may have gotten slightly loose somehow possibly. If that isn't the case, try another adapter if you can, or see if you can plug the Rift into any other system possibly. If you live near a Frys, pick up a GPU to "Try" as the no restocking fee makes it easy to test and return (Buy an open box/returned one to be less of a dick about it though). Though no promises if you get a good card, and end up wanting to keep it because VR. IF it happens with another adapter/card though, then your rift does sound boned and needs an RMA. Edit:READING that you both have 7970's with the same issue, if the adapters for DVI-HDMI don't work, then it does sound like the GPU's fault more than the Rift at this point... Weird for sure.

Dual-Mode DisplayPort is super hacky and I can definitely imagine it not working right with a system as performance-sensitive as the Rift. And active adapters seem like they definitely wouldn't work, too much latency. HDMI is more or less just a more compact connector for DVI, the electrical specs and protocol are identical. There's some tiny differences at the margins but DVI is more or less a superset of HDMI functionality.
