I’m too old to dick around with OCing at this point.

I’ll take whatever I can get out of the box and I don’t feel like I need those few extra frames.

I certainly don’t want to spend the time to find the best OC where my poo poo doesn’t crash. I just wanna log on and game.

:same:

Overclocking is nice but nowadays it’s mostly just enthusiasts going after high scores. Only thing I’ve done on my newest rig (3700X/2070S) was increasing power limits & removing or changing CPU throttling so it can consistently boost to its rated speeds.

Is there someone in here who does game dev work and can accurately say how much is involved with DLSS implementation? I know people say that the new version is easier than before to implement but is it a relatively trivial amount of work during game dev or is it something you need Nvidia to hand you a wad of cash for it to be worthwhile in terms of adding to production time.

Thinking on it this is a very good move for nVidia. Tegra has two uses: Switch and streaming sticks. It is sub-scale. But if nVidia makes the standard ARM SoC use Geforce it has turned the standard ARM SoC into Tegra. Thus everyone else pays it to develop the combo and it embeds Geforce everywhere giving nVidia the scale advantage it needs to combat radeon in upcoming Samsung phones and consoles. AMD benefits a lot from being the default there.

Presumably the ARM partner team will take over the partner integrations and not suck as in the past but who knows with Jensen.

$40 billion is a vanity sum to assuage Softbank investors that Son wasn't a complete moron (lmao) but Softbank already has an investment in nVidia that's paid off pretty well

Am I an idiot for having put a pre order on an Asus ROG Strix OC 3080 for 800€?

I am upgrading from a 1060 6GB. Plan on running 1440p multi monitor (currently on 1080p multis).

My reasoning for the pre-order:
-price vs FE (719€ here)
-ability to lock in my purchase right now and not worry about it
-worried about availability of the cards if I dont act NOW (capitalism!)
-worried that if I miss the first wave, the eventual restock (2nd wave) will have a price increase

I would probably be well served by a FE, since I'm not aiming for a particular aesthetic (and my build is mostly gray/black anyways). I'm not looking to overclock, or watercool. I just have never bought a FE/directly from the nvidia shop before, and this purchase being made through amazon makes me a bit more confident I can deal with customer service easily.

So, huge moron? Or decent buy strategy?

only questions are if you're on a crappy CPU, you'll be bottlenecked by that at 1440p and isn't there a rumor that all non-TUF Asus cards are delayed

Is where I got the preorder locked in. It's for the OC version though, actually came in at 30€ more.

Card being delayed isn't an issue, at first I wanted to wait for black Friday deals but the hype around the ampere launch has me worried about stocks/pricing increases. 800€ for that performance is a good price after the Turing fiasco..

You can already check out Nvidia's UE4 branch source code and see how the DLSS hooks fit into the engine if you want

It's getting a key from Nvidia to actually make DLSS work that's the hard part

This is why I like cpu rad as top case exhaustion.

If you have current gen hardware most likely your gpu is the thing 100% loaded up, not the cpu. Give the gpu the fresh air, the cpu is fine with case air if you have decent ventilation.

And you have room for a big rear end gpu. :)

How can I try to better understand when any GPU will become CPU bottlenecked? Benchmarks show this generally happens at 1080p6 0Hz, whereas at higher resolutions and framerates the GPU begins to be the performance bottleneck.

But I want hard numbers, not just the general truth above. Is there a good way to find out when a CPU will bottleneck a GPU other than simply looking for benchmarks at high resolutions? (These are frustratingly rare, and obviously don't exist at all for the 30 series right now.)

Basically, I am still going in circles over which CPU to pair a 30 series card with to avoid throttling it when using it for 3840x1600 @ 144Hz. Does a high-mid tier CPU like the i5 10600K cut it, or do I need to be looking at the primo CPUs which cost twice as much?

Decent buy but I seriously doubt you'll be seeing it ship next week. AFAIK none of the top tier custom PCB AIB cards are going to launch on the 17th.

TBH this hasn't been an issue yet. Like if you watch the DF MSFS2020 video there is some CPU bottle necking in that video but as long as you are on a more current gen CPU like the i5 you should be fine.

This could change but it seems like that chip would be ok.

I looked at some benchmark data online and that CPU is roughly equivalent to the i7-9700k I have in my computer and I haven’t even been close to CPU bound on 1440p benchmarks with a 2070S. The only time I’ve managed to max the CPU is when I blow something up in Hardspace Shipbreaker and there’s a million physics objects interacting, and that game isn’t done being optimized yet.

It's been covered, but CPU utilization is basically set by the game and there's little to nothing you can do about it, whereas GPU usage is determined by resolution and graphics settings. If you want to know which will be the limiting factor in a given title your options are to a. Compare CPU and GPU benchmarks, whichever is lower is what you'll get, though review sites nearly always benchmark at max graphics settings so you can improve GPU performance by turning some down, or b. Running a performance monitor while you run said game / application and seeing which one is maxed out.

There's always going to be a limiting factor in your system. It's historically been viewed that it's better it be limited by your GPU since it's a more expensive part that gets changed often but if the numbers you get are close enough to your monitors refresh rate, I say eh, personally.

The higher the FPS, the more your CPU comes into play.

CPU bottlenecking is most easily detected at low resolutions and high fps, that's why when some sites do CPU tests, they do like 720p 3d game tests to see how high the FPS goes.

By most easily detected, I mean that you could upgrade a graphics card and see a fairly negligible improvement to FPS because the CPU can't 'keep up' ie you're maxxing the CPU but the GPU has not yet been maxxed out.

The higher your resolution, the less your CPU matters to the overall FPS (as you become GPU limited).

So if you have a 1080p 240hz monitor but you're running pentium dual core and you want to hit that refresh, yeah, you're probably going to be bottlenecked.

But if you've got a 4k60 tv then it'll still matter, but the delta will shrink.

If lowering your resolution no longer yields more FPS, that's as much as your CPU can give.

If you're already at the resolution and quality settings that you like, but you're not getting the FPS you want, and lowering the resolution doesn't increase your FPS anymore, then it's your CPU that's holding you back.

I've cooled down after the initial hype and realizing that my 1080Ti still handles 1440p at max just fine and the one game I play it doesn't is poorly optimized CPU wise so that's really the biggest issue.
