Newegg has been taking PayPal for years and even adds in less popular alternatives like MasterPass and Visa Checkout. They’re about the only site I’ve seen except maybe Best Buy that adopted Apple Pay For The Web inside Safari. Reduce the number of parties with access to your number and by extension you’ll have fewer headaches.

DLSS results are disappointing compared to TAA but I might be fine with that because I loving hate working with TAA.

There's a sale nearby at an electronics store, 19% off everything including the new GPUs. And you can order online. I'm on a 970. I need a new GPU for VR. Don't really want a 1080Ti because of the power consumption and heat, and likely doesn't fit in my small case anyway. I was eyeing a 2070 but the discount is tempting. Hold on for the 2070, or grab the 2080 at a discount? If so, which brand?

Welp was going to replace a 1080 with a seized fan but this generation is underwhelming enough that I'll pass. I can't find any specific resources online but does anybody know how to remove the shroud from a Zotac Amp (non extreme?)

If it's actually 19% off normal price for a 2080 that's a pretty good deal. Even if a better deal comes along soon, with that steep of a discount you should be able to turn the 2080 around at no loss. That said, no way it's actually 19% off the real price for a 2080, make sure you comparison shop.

It's a pain, the heatsink has to come off then the shroud can be removed. (Then install some 120mm fans and have way less noise  )

Truga posted:I definitely do not remember there being a regression in price/perf before. To be fair, this is a pretty obvious decision by the board partners to clear out stock (and probably gouge a bit on pent up demand). At Nvidia's MSRPs, price/performance increased ever so slightly.

I stacked a fuckton of coupons at launch for the RX 480:  Paid $128 total, on top of those discounts I got 20% off from a credit card promo and 5% cashback, and it had 8GB of ram after a BIOS flash even though I paid for 4GB. By far the best value I've ever gotten for a new GPU. Paul MaudDib posted:Again, if you could pick up a 1080 Ti for like $400 then by all means it would be a great deal but when you're already spending $600 on a card you should really think seriously about dropping the extra $100 You can absolutely pick up dual fan 1080ti's on eBay for $500 now. I don't know where this $700 for RTX 2080 figure is coming from, the FE's are $800 and so are EVGA's cheapest models, so the de facto price seems to be $800. codo27 posted:I mean if you have the cash...is there anything out there that can really bring a 1080ti to its knees at 1440? I'm doing fine with 2 970s but starting to have to turn a couple of things down a bit and its pissing me off. It is a very lovely game, but yes: Mass Effect Andromeda. Never underestimate how much bad optimization can gently caress with a GPU. Hilariously, the 2080ti by NVidia's official numbers can't run ME:A at a solid 60FPS. Since it's obviously never getting a DLSS upgrade, it might go down as one of the only games I've seen that no card within 2 generations of it can run at the prevailing resolutions. ufarn posted:Candyland dropped a great DLSS vs TAA showcase: It definitely smears stuff in some of those shots. In motion it does seem hard to notice. However there's sustained shots in that video where it's the same or even a frame or two slower than TAA, so while much faster on average, it's not exactly consistent. I would like to see a comparison video like that, but showing DLSS, TAA, and no aliasing at all, so I can see how accurate they're both getting to the reference material. Stickman posted:The 2080 Ti has ~50% more activated cores on the die, so it runs at a slower clock for thermal stability. The 1080 Ti vs 1080 is similar: 40% more active cores with a 10% slower boost clock. Does that mean you could slap it on water and be pretty much guaranteed to get that 9% difference in speed back as a stable overclock? Paul MaudDib posted:Also can we please stop using GTA:V as a benchmark now, that engine is all kinds of hosed up and everything can run it at a million fps, we don't need to be benchmarking it in TYOOL 2018. Take a hike, I go straight to the GTAV benchmarks before anything else. The 3rd most purchased game of all time, one of the most accomplished engines ever, still looks great today, and people still play the game and play mods for it. I suppose you want everyone benchmarking more Ashes of the Singularity type stuff that no one ever bothered to play in the first place?

It's cheaper to run one production line than two. When The 480s first came out basically all of them unlocked to 8GB, it wasn't even a binning thing, they just wanted market segmentation. The extra memory probably cost a few dollars (this was before the memory shortages) and a new line could be dozens per card.

Stanley Pain posted:No it doesn't. A 1080Ti is not what I would recommend if you want 4K gaming @ max settings @ 60FPS(I know you said almost max settings, but that's a subjective measure). A 1080Ti also struggles with a lot of min frame times @ 4K. Except most 4k monitors (not TVs) are pixel dense enough that turning up to max settings is literally a massive waste.

Seamonster posted:Except most 4k monitors (not TVs) are pixel dense enough that turning up to max settings is literally a massive waste. Yeah max settings, in terms of actual visual improvement that your eyes/brain can see/perceive, is usually a waste in terms of fps/power cost vs just running at moderate IQ settings even at 1440p. There are some exceptions but they're exceptions that prove the rule generally.

Paul MaudDib posted:2080/1080 Ti doesn't quite max out a 144 Hz monitor at 1440p at max settings, but you should be able to get real close on high. With DLSS, it should be able to do ultra. drat, so 100 fps (well, 98 frame limited to avoid tearing) on 3440 x 1440 on maxed settings may still be a pipe dream? Looks like I am either going to step down to medium quality on my trusty old 970 or branch out to my PS4 more until prices come down or the 7mm refresh hits. The only twitchy game I am playing right now is Overwatch and it hits 98 reliably on med to mostly high. Not paying 1k to upgrade for some nicer reflections and shadows and Gsync puts in a lot of work on other, more demanding titles anyway. Bummer.

Turn your graphics settings back up. GGG have reset them periodically and regularly update the graphics. With settings at max it makes my 1080ti struggle at 1440/144, even solo. No idea what you're talking about with the viewport - it takes up the entire screen. If you mean the zoom level, it reflects the area monster AI is active. With an ultra wide you can see enemies standing around with AI disabled at the edges. It's irrelevant to graphic performance.

My great hope for this generation is the 2070. I'm on a 1440p/144hz gsync-monitor and a 970, so i'm starting to have to run settings pretty low to hit 90+. Don't really care about ultra or being steady at 144, just want it to look good and feel smooth, so high-ish and around 100 is fine, depending on how much lower the minimums are than the average. Best would be if either 1. The 2070 is great perf/$ or 2. the 1080 (/ti) ends up real cheap soon. Here's hoping.
