Price gouging will be getting exposed and relatively pro-customer companies like evga get to build lots of goodwill by announcing that they wont raise prices on already imported goods. A perfect reason for people to panic buy that old inventory at retail price. Its going to get worse before it gets better. Its not affecting me much considering im already not planning on upgrading my GPU for a year or 2. There is no compelling reason to switch off a 1080ti at 1440p Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Oct 2, 2018 |

There is no compelling reason to switch off a 1080ti at 1440p Same. There is nearly zero reason to switch at 1440 at the moment. Given these prices -and assuming a return to “normal” release schedules- I’m considering holding out for two generations. Guess it depends on how well the 1080Ti holds its value I suppose.

I've been gaming at 4k for the last 2+ years now and use a 49" Quantum dot TV as a monitor. Turns out at about 4-5 feet back I get massive motion sickness.. now I try and stay at or around 60fps. Still, it's just too expansive in my vision. Feels like sitting in the back seat of a car reading a book. I can only game for about 30 minutes before almost barfing. ;_;

I justified buying an 2080 because I got Dell u3818 (38" ultrawide 3840x1600) for under $500 CAD. Gaming on it is something else, but I'm waiting for the 9900k to drop so right now im gaming on a stock 10 year old i7 920.

That and the mobo is likely hobbling performance with PCIe 1.1 (not exactly sure).

I've used a cheap one (didnt work), a Thermatake one (worked), in conjunction with 90* PCIe adapters. The "best" ones cost a lot made by 3M but I'm not sure they are worth having or not

Overclocked to 4.2Ghz (you are Overclocked right?) at least it shouldn't be complete poo poo should it? The biggest thing I think he would be missing out on is SATA 6G and USB 3.0 though lol. A new rig will be a very nice upgrade though that is for sure.

He is clearly using the expensive 3M twinaxial risers in that video, which are like $100 each if you're not buying in bulk. If you're using run of the mill PCI risers, even more than a couple inches extension will generate so much cross-talk that you won't be able to run stable at PCI Gen 3 and will have to drop down to Gen 2 in Bios.

A stock 920 is slow by modern standards, but a overclocked one is very competitive, stock speed is 2.6GHz, overclocked they'll do 4GHz, I've even seen them break 4.5GHz for the best ones. IPC against a Skylake isn't great, but CPU demands have stagnated so much overclocking a 920 should easily last you until the 9700k comes out.

BTW, rumor now is that preorders go live on the 8th and review embargo lifts/hardware ships on the 19th. So just hang on literally three more weeks. (so now Intel is doing the preorder-before-reviews thing too, thanks again AMD for letting that camel's nose into the tent. At least in this case you know 100% what you're getting in advance, but this loving sucks in general)

Aeka 2.0 posted:I'll do a benchmark then. Mine was only 30 dollars. Feel free, I did one myself with a 6-inch li-heat riser as well as a generic bitcoin riser, the bitcoin wouldn't boot without taking it down to Gen 2, the li-heat would work fine until actually running a benchmark, and then the display would stay blanked out until I rebooted, going down to Gen 2 fixed that as well. Edit: I should also mention I'm using a riser right now with no issues, but it is a flexible silicon board (made for the Skyreach case) and is only about an inch long.

They made that weird 15 slot board that requires risers to use all the slots. Bitcoins hit the bus very lightly so even 1X slots don't hurt bitcoin performance.

Only $70 for 600mm, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812183021 There are 200mm for like $30 though.

When altcoin GPU mining took off the first time (dogecoins era poo poo), a lot of Chinese factories started cranking out cheap risers on eBay. Now there's thousands and thousands in surplus and they're dirt cheap, even if shipped from the USA: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-Express-16-x-Riser-Cable-with-Latch/262348377071 I snagged a couple when I was experimenting with different case form factors. They have the worst crosstalk of all the different riser variations, though the short ones can work in a pinch if you're on a budget or don't mind lowering the PCI spec (for 1080p it's not a big deal). SlayVus posted:Those are ThermalTake riser cables and they make 600mm version, but they are still expensive. Only $70 for 600mm, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812183021 There are 200mm for like $30 though. Oh, I guess that's a newer development since I was experimenting a few years back. It seems like it is using twinaxial technology as well. It doesn't specifically state twinaxial, but this unbranded version has the cables bundled and clamped in the same way and does specify twinaxial: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIABMK6TG7238&cm_re=PCI-E_x16_3.0_Riser_Cable-_-9SIABMK6TG7238-_-Product Edit: However, the 200mm version isn't twinaxial, it is an older model that is a normal shielded cable and probably more comparable to li-heat. Their cheapest twinaxial is 300mm at $56, not too bad: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812183022 Here's a cool nerd comparison of the different risers: https://videocardz.com/review/pci-express-riser-extender-test/2 Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Oct 3, 2018 |

Haven't benched my cable yet. I got an NZXT cooler and a G12 adapter for my 2080ti. I got it to fit and function except I ran into an odd cosmetic fitment problem. I couldn't orient the pump with the logo level. For some reason the twist lock wouldnt twist and lock in the position I wanted it in. I didn't see any obstruction so I was as bit confused. Anyone run into this? Also the Cam app for android is broke as all gently caress.

I had a 3,5GHz i7 920 and upgraded to 4,8GHz 8700k last year. Games run so much better. So, so much better. 920 is just very slow no matter how much you OC it. 2GHz faster memory helps also.

I am kind of curious on this as well. Is there a bottleneck for 1080 ti with 4790k at 1440p or 4k? I know for sure that at 1080p theres a significant bottleneck but even 1440 feels like theres a slight “bottleneck”. If there is a bottleneck on the 1080ti at those resolutions (1440 or 4k). The 2080ti would be even worse. Probably the last gpu gen for the 4790k. Green Gloves fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Oct 3, 2018 |

I’m phone postin’ but I think GN did a video comparing all the previous generations of Intel CPUs that should help. e: aw, apparently its all at 1080p with a regular GTX 1080. but if the difference isnt big at 1080p with a 1080, its only gonna get smaller at 4k. https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2773-intel-i5-2500k-revisit-benchmark-for-2017/page-3 Cygni fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Oct 3, 2018 |
