K8.0 posted:IDK where the goon phobia of old PSUs detonating and taking hardware with them comes from. It's really not justified. PSUs die, and they can kill stuff, but it's not really a common occurrence outside of garbage quality PSUs you shouldn't be buying to begin with. I work in the MSP world and I've replaced literally dozens of power supplies that just quietly stopped working, so I'm not saying that all or even most power supply failures will take other parts with them, but it is still a possibility to take seriously.

wolrah posted:My first power supply failure in 2004 took all the directly connected hardware with it. The cards survived but the motherboard and all of the disk drives were dead. My second one in 2011 took the motherboard, one hard disk, and the GPU. The first was the OEM power supply in a Pentium II era NEC desktop, the second was a 550w Thermaltake. Nothing super nice but common grade hardware. Yeah and it can happen even when the PSU is under warranty. Using the warranty as a guide to throw away a 6 year old PSU and generate more waste is pointless. edit: Also not sure that lumping in the late 90s bundled PSU in your anecdote says much. Lots of PSUs were garbage then. Inept fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Mar 24, 2020 |

Basically, you can make your very own Navi GPU on a Field Programmable Gate Array albeit at reduced performance compared to the real silicon. It also lets you see in fine detail how the hardware actually works and allow anyone with the resources to engineer their own or at least steal the good parts and secret sauce.

NotNut posted:I've been having various problems with my 5700 XT like one or both screens going black when I'm running a game, Photoshop loving up when I'm using a lot of graphical memory, or Chrome crashing whenever I go to Imgur. Is this likely caused by the card itself or the drivers? I haven't seen some of your symptoms though the black screen problem is a driver issue, but the drivers have been crappy for a few months now. Even the latest 20.3.1 which has a new problem for me with locking up when the machine is idle. This is with an RX 5700 flashed to the XT bios. So I went back to driver version 19.12.3 which was and remains super stable and performant for me, no problems at all. You may want to give that a shot before giving up on the card itself. I'm not doing a driver upgrade for a long while, don't care what AMD says about fixes.

I'm gonna lend my own anecdote here to say that the latest AMD driver has only helped my stability issues. Sometimes the display wouldn't turn on properly during the first boot-up of the day and I'd have to reboot at least once to get it working, and then when I started using a dual monitor set-up it got even worse, but since 20.3.1 that issue has gone away completely

Who else rocking a GTX 1080 in 2020?  I bought mine in 2017 and very happy with it. Still pushing 80 to 90 fps with AAA titles at 1440p on a Ryzen 5 2600x/3200MHz 16GB setup.

I'm riding with this 1080ti as long as it keeps auto detecting high/ultra settings for me, or until RTX features on new releases become too compelling to pass up.

Still rocking the 1080, but I always expected that to be the case because it was always very unlikely that anything would come out of the 2000 series that would make it value for money to upgrade. It's all getting a bit long in the tooth to be trying to do 4k even at reduced settings, so intending to do a full system refresh at the end of this year.

Howard Phillips posted:Who else rocking a GTX 1080 in 2020? The 1080Ti was to be my upgrade of choice from my 7970, but I was busy with other stuff at the time and didn't game for a long while. The 20xx was on the horizon by the time I got back to gaming and, well, the bitcoin surge happened along with dramatically lowered perf/$ value on the 20xx series for the features I actually cared about (ie., not RTX/DLSS at the time). This 5700 has been a great card with the XT bios other than for driver issues for about 6 weeks - but man have those weeks been aggravating. Just went over my posts in this thread and I was last a happy camper on Jan 13th going by those. 19.12.3 will keep me sane - last thing I need is driver issues as I'm working from home full time. Still regret not picking up the 1080Ti soon after release though I'm very happy I didn't pick the g-sync monitor I was planning to pair it with.

I am probably going to upgrade my CPU to a 9900k from a 8600k as I want to max out my system so I don't need to replace anything for a long time.

BIG HEADLINE posted:The prospective performance increase of the 2080Ti's replacement has been the magically reducing number in WCCFtech articles. It started as high as +70%, and last I saw it was down to ~+30%. nVidia's not going to sell an ultra-premium GPU during a recession/depression, either. I decided to do it 🤔 I'm incredibly lucky to be this financially secure and I don't think the next gen hardware is gonna do anything insane, so instead of being stuck forever in "I'll wait to see what's coming out next iteration" limbo forever I just decided to do it. Thanks for the reasonable reply!

I've been wanting to upgrade from my 1080 for at least a year and a half but the 2000 series has been a big bummer. I was still happy with it until my Valve Index arrived last week to replace a CV1 Rift and now I have to actually tweak supersampling and per-game graphics settings

In a quarantined fit of boredom, I purchased a 27" 1440p 144hz Freesync/G-Sync Compatible monitor (to be delivered this weekend) to pair with my 2070S and Ryzen 1600x. I've done some research, and I think that I'll be able to push 90+ fps in most stuff. Do goons agree? Is my processor a bottleneck? Do I need to spend more money that I shouldn't spend on an upgraded processor?

Just try it with your current hardware and see how it runs for you, then worry about upgrading if the CPU is holding you back. Here are some scaling benchmarks, the 1600 is roughly 15-20% slower than the 3600. https://www.techspot.com/review/1897-ryzen-5-ryzen-9-core-i9-gaming-scaling/ 2600 vs 3600 scaling https://www.techspot.com/review/1968-ryzen-3600-vs-2600-gaming-scaling/

1080ti with Read Dead Redemption 2 with the default settings (mostly highs and very highs) at 4k nets sub 30 frames for me, pushing to .9x rendering resolution gets it far smoother but it's a somewhat choppy experience at times. Rise of the Tomb Raider is in a similar boat, but with everything turned on. Most of the time however it handles 4k between 30 and 60 with reasonable settings, but HDR reliability is pretty sketchy. It's a really good card.

Also using a vanilla 1080 here that I bought only a couple months after they were released, its a MSI Sea Hawk X that I pulled the AIO off of and swapped with a EKWB full cover about a year later. At the time I thought it was overpriced and I would probably regret it, but it has turned out to be one of the best investments I've ever made in a gaming PC.

Nice! Thanks for sharing this, as much as I pretend not to be a graphics snob I still have that dumb urge to MAX ALL SETTINGS! These sorts of articles own, I can't imagine sitting down for that long tinkering every setting to see what works, especially with how many settings R* put in.

Not that I've been playing anything intensive lately, but I've noticed that for some of the newer releases like Doom, my 1070 would only be ok for 1440p. On the other hand, ok is good enough at least until Nvidia release the 3000 series cards.

I have a bad feeling about the 3 series cards, nvidia started trying to use their tensor cores again which makes me think they're stuffing those on the new cards. That means yet again they're wasting space on those hardly-used things, more price less performance
