Cygni posted:Vive/Oculus are rendering at an effective 2160×1200 not 1080p, which is probably why the 1070 was struggling a bit. As far as I'm aware, by default all VR games render at a somewhat-higher-than-native resolution to help with clarity on the otherwise low resolution screens. You're also looking at a 90Hz target refresh rate, vsync always forced on, dropping to 45Hz if you miss the target.

Oh yeah and I'm using WMR so I think it's 1440 vertical and 1.4x supersample. Forgot about that I thought it was 1080p for some reason.

^^ A common "trick" to get better experiences in VR was to run at lower settings with no AA but use the dev tools to scale the res to 2x, ends up being more consistent and less pukey. Idk if that is still the caserepiv posted:The physical SLI bridge (or XDMA in AMDs case) can still be used to accelerate cross-card transfers, and nearly all of the DX12 mGPU implementations so far require it. mGPU doesn't use any of the classic SLI/CF driver magic though. Word, thanks. I don't anticipate it ever really being a double-effectiveness magic bullet for rendering, but I'm hopeful devs start using it to accelerate physics/spatial sound/AI

Is there a way to poll eBay for the average bidding price for a search term like 1080 ti? I'd like to see what the used prices of the cards are going for and compare it to crypto prices.

Had a 1070 at final checkout on Newegg for $489 and decided against it. Hope that doesn't bite me in the rear end. I'll hold out for a 1070Ti for $450, it has to happen eventually right

Ebay has really bad APIs for making programs yourself (or did last time I looked) but searching for sold items and only for auctions can give you a pretty good idea for the last couple weeks of ended auctions.

You may be better off setting your sights on the 1080. There are a lot more of them on the market (given the 1070 Ti's very late release) and the 1070 Ti is the most efficient mining card of this generation for most coins, so it will probably be the one that miners choose to retain when profits drop. The 1080 has a few weak spots due to its GDDR5X. Numbers from whattomine.com, and yes these include undervolting and BIOS mods (for AMD cards)  (despite the meme'ing about how great AMD cards are for compute/mining, they have really poo poo efficiency, they're just cheap.)

Also if you are trying to get a video card for around MSRP, I can offer some advice. Don't use Nowinstock.net directly, they even say they lag too much due to the demand. Instead use the Google Groups they set up for notifications: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nowinstocknet-nvidia-gtx-1070 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nowinstocknet-nvidia-gtx-1070-ti https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nowinstocknet-nvidia-gtx-1080-ti Subscribe to what you are trying to get. Then after subscribing, instead of waiting for email notifications to arrive, download an RSS reader like it's 2002, I like QuiteRSS. The RSS feeds for those groups can be found on the About link on the Group site. Then go into your options and set Automatically Update to a ridiculously low value, like 5 seconds. You also want to set up your Notification options so it creates a tray popup. Make sure to have your billing info up-to-date on the major sites and not-as-popular sites like bhphotovideo.com or nVidia Store so you can check out quickly. When you get a popup, you have to move on it right away. Consider even keeping images disabled to give you an edge if you are really desperate. Only problem I have is the QuiteRSS isn't hyperlinking the actual URL, so I have to copy and paste it into a browser. Maybe there is a way to fix that or some other RSS reader might be better, I don't know. Even with this method I've had zero luck with the Amazon links, probably because of their One Click order making it too easy to snatch up. But it gives you a good shot at cards from any other store. Or you can just wait another couple weeks for demand to die down (hopefully).

The 1080 has a few weak spots due to its GDDR5X. I think AMD cards were better in the first bubble, back when people were mining Bitcoin. Back then the price inflation only impacted AMD cards, at least, and the subsequent glut of used cards also only impacted AMD. Presumably the Maxwell -> Pascal leap was just so good that it overshadowed whatever advantage AMD originally had

Idk if that is still the case Depends on the game. Deferred renderers don't tend to cope well with supersampling since it hammers memory bandwidth, they're not a good fit for VR. Forward renderers you can usually crank, mixed renderers are predictably somewhere in between, usually benefiting most from TAA and some light supersampling.

So now that the GPU selloff might happen - is it worth replacing a 980 Ti with a 1080 Ti? I play at 1080p but at 144Hz and I have run into games where my card can't handle that (even at low-medium) I was planning on waiting for Volta/Ampere but if 1080 Tis end up going at a firesale price I'm gonna be tempted e: also my 980 Ti is only like 5% over stock speeds and can't go higher, if that matters

Otherwise, if you can get a 1080 Ti for real low cheap then why not.

We probably won't see the 1160 until Q1-Q2 '19. I do wonder what the default frame buffers will be for the x70/x80 SKUs this time around, though. I'd imagine 10GB of GDDR5X for the x70 and 12GB of GDDR6 for the x80. I can't see them going 12/16 with memory prices as-is. But when an 1160 *does* come around, I'm willing to bet it'll have 8GB of GDDR5 on the launch models.

I'm going with 8 GB on the 1160, 11/12 on the 1170/80. 1180 Ti will be 12. Probably end up with two Titan SKUs on the GA100 die, one at 12 and one at 16.

I don't think that I would ever buy a used video card from someone I didn't know. I have no faith in a stranger's word that a used video card wasn't put through several hundred or thousand hours of mining nor was it kept in a well-ventilated environment or in a caseless setup.

good more for us. open air rigs run gpus at 55c all day even with 6 cards next to it. Even the closet rigs are cooler than most cases. Dont buy from the guy selling 2-5 GPUs, buy from the guy selling 20. Its in their best interest for serious miners to run their GPUs cool and undervolted Dont buy amd and dont buy blowers.

I play at 1080p but at 144Hz and I have run into games where my card can't handle that (even at low-medium) What do you mean but "Can't Handle it at low-medium settings?" Like, sometimes running slightly below 144fps? A 980ti should be able to push a 1080p monitor at max or near-max well above 100fps stable. My 1070 (pretty equivalent) does just about every game at 1440p over 100FPS. If your having performance problem it may be something else in your system, or your 980ti is getting throttled to hell. If you cannot stand anything but a rock-steady 144fps I'd suggest spending the money on a GSync monitor instead.
