TheRationalRedditor posted:That's specifically the shipping alone, it's listed as a separate deduction under the actual step-up price difference between my 1070 and the 1080 Oh, I'm just suggesting on the shipping of the card to EVGA to use UPS. Apparently, Fedex has additional fees and such they dont tell you until you get ready to actually pay to ship the package. Like a $29 customs fees. Have EVGA ship it to you however you want.

Oh I hear you on that, but I haven't paid yet so the invoice page of "step 3" just has the projected cost where I don't get to change or alter anything and the shipping is flatly listed as -$73 dollars. I'm wondering if the choice of carrier customization comes after this step when I pay, or that I somehow don't get a choice because of shipping to Canada.

According to a recentish Reddit post, 6 months ago, you get to choose shipping options after you have shipped your card to them(I assume after they receive it). It's all up to you though if you feel this is a worthwhile investment of your money for your entertainment.

On a new build for a system using a 480, you should allot for a 650W PSU over a 550W just for overhead. Ensuring better airflow and positive pressure in the case would be good, too.

Usually "Install" = update the drivers, but retain config files, settings, etc. while "Clean Install" = delete everything and start fresh with default config/settings. But yeah, that's not really how, uh, numbers work there guys. Good job.

Okay that actually makes sense but why wouldn't they explain that? It's not like you get a confirmation before you nuke your settings or anything (I wouldn't know because I like being dirty) E: Even though I already know what this is because I read the release notes, they could really do a better job of not asking users to blindly install things. That the skip button has to exist here does not do the first impression any favors. At the start of this "custom install" I already had the option of checking or unchecking boxes of things I did or did not want installed, why would they make this a separate step?  The old installer was better  Double Edit: and while I'm complaining, the release notes don't actually say if ReLive is any better/capable of capturing and streaming DX12/Vulkan titles.

It's been a checkbox on the Nvidia side for years as well so it's nothing new there. But your number scheme almost seems like a Intel playbook move as some of their iGPU drivers have done crap like that (and their Storage Drivers as well come to think about it) where the number is less then the last driver released, but is a "newer" driver. Ugh At least you can be sure that a 17.X driver is around the corner next month that should hopefully clear up the confusion at this part. They have been numbering based on the year since like 08 now at least I believe. *poo poo come to look at it, that is all the "new" drivers are there. Just numbered based on the date released. 2016.12.1 and 2016.11.5 However the 16.40.... Is that a "Hotfix" driver or Beta by any chance?

Looks like the number scheme got changed when they switched away from a fixed driver release schedule to me, so hopefully they'll be internally consistent now.

EdEddnEddy posted:However the 16.40.... Is that a "Hotfix" driver or Beta by any chance? They're being kinda unhelpful and showing two different versions there: 16.40.xxxx is an internal (driver) version, 16.12.1 is their 'package' version that tends to be the one that's easier to find. (The relive driver version corresponding is 16.50.2001, at least according to the settings program)

The point is that it's a regression from the previous interface, which was much more clear as to what would happen before you clicked on what is known as a destructive action.

Is anyone putting any stock into the rumors that Nivdia is going to launch a 20s line of video cards this summer? According to a couple sites they would essentially be a Pascal refresh but 10-15% faster and cheaper. The 2080 would be $499 for instance. Since Nvidia is releasing the 1080ti this winter not long after CES that would clear the entire year for them to release something else. Then in Q3 2018 Volta is set to come out.

Going through two RMAs in a row is the worst thing. Since Ive had my first gaming computer, i've had 3 cards die on me and 2 become so faulty they were barely functional. Either ive had the worst luck or GPUs are the most fragile of all computer components. As soon as this RMA thing is done, I think i'm gonna go the EVGA route since I hear so many praises sung. But still,

HORY poo poo PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the single most impactful driver update I've ever had the joy of experiencing. If you have a Fury, definitely update ASAP 1440p DiRT is reaching new highs of 160fps+. Shadows are often done rendering before I even get around the corner. Based on the benchmark XMLs, peak frame time has dropped from an embarrassing 19ms all the way down to an extremely acceptable 13.7ms I can also play DOOM 4 in Vulkan at 1440p native, ultra everything. Barely ever dropping blow 120fps in spots that used to chug below 60 without scaling down to 75%/high (1080p), such as the beginning of levels 2/3. Frame times are almost always <9ms, my 2600k is finally the bottleneck with a max just shy of 12ms. I did not think to play with the very latest update prior to also updating drivers, but the entire game seems to just look and feel way loving better. (But the Arcade Mode UI is still really slow for whatever reason) Most importantly, any and all input lag as a result of said chugs is completely gone. This is the uncompromising 1440p experience I expected when I bought this thing.

I'm back yet again, just as mystified as before on something, like it's a curse or something. I modded an LGA775 board to accept an X5470, and coupled with an HD6950 and SSD, still manages to run Overwatch like rear end. Yet I've seen people manage with a Core 2 Duo and a GTS 450, or FX-6100 and similar GPU. I've tested against an HD7850, I've tested against the SSD and against the memory. What the hell is the drat bottleneck here? Overwatch can run on a potato, what is the deal?! Monitor is 1600x900, 60Hz. Also apparently Overwatch will run on an HD4830/50/60/70/90 but they're not even DX11, how the gently caress?

Any more reports of EVGA ACX 3.0 cards self-immolating? My EVGA 1070 SC is going strong and I'm playing a lot of Rise of The Tomb Raider on it. One would think that would be the one game that would kill a defective card right? Game looks amazing especially on the 'very high' settings.

Welp all my anticipation for the new drivers was for nothing. The voltage control for my MSI 390 does not work at all in wattman, nor is there any way to set a custom fan curve. Entering in a value for the various voltages by state result in all my entries being truncated like I'll put in "1000" and it will change to "10" when I move the cursor to another box. Worse yet every time I try to set clock speeds in afterburner, the card resets to the BIOS default (but the voltage setting and custom fan curve in afterburner DO take effect). The only way to keep ALL of the settings is to go into wattman and manually adjust the clock speeds (and ONLY the clock speeds) after EVERY boot. Have not tried chill yet but a quick firestrike run gave an additional 3% or ~400 points in graphics score so that's nice. To be totally fair I'm not sure I can blame AMD for this one. MSI 390s AFAIK are relatively far off from the reference design and I can't expect AMD to account for EVERY SINGLE make and model of 390 out in the wild. Guess I'll have to wait for the update. EDIT: Its not that the values are truncating, wattman isn't accepting them at all or I'm otherwise getting a blackscreen hard lock when trying to change a voltage, any voltage, any amount.

I'd check there first, maybe even look at cooling to see if anything is throttling down from heat, or check power to see if there are any major fluctuations. What are the rest of the specs on your system? Could help to figure out where/why the performance drop is happening.

The self immolating thing is almost certainly defective parts on some cards, it has very little to do with heat because those defective parts will eventually fail anyway, extra heat would very slightly accelerate the process but the heat itself is not an issue. Your card may have a defective part, that sort of thing can show up right away or take a long time to show up.

I originally thought that might be the issue but I've tested it in a comparable system (Phenom II 955/4GB DDR3 1600/HD 7850) without the advantage of an SSD and it runs it fluently on Ultra. 4 or 8GB seemed to make zero difference in overall performance, and if it's down to the ram it's because it's DDR2, but that still doesn't fly when apparently this exists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz4Q1srpHbc Even assuming a RAM bottleneck, the rig I'm struggling with should perform better than that, but that setup currently outperforms mine (with 15-28FPS)
