  Good god this thing is huge. Now the agonizing 2 hour wait to finish at work so I can go upstairs, get this installed and play Among Us with ray tracing!

I just realized that when I swap my graphics card out I’ll have the spare parts to build a separate pc. I could have a full time media server and folding computer running out of sight...

https://twitter.com/EVGA_JacobF/status/1314077075028860934 Still got a notify from before launch for a 3080 XC3 in mine.  Will be interesting to see when it pops. Not that I need it since I have an FE. Guess I could help someone still hunting for one. 8-bit Miniboss fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Oct 8, 2020 |

I apparently never hit Notify on my first pass. Now in the 10/5 9:30PM never-notify crew. Ah well, guess I can keep slumming it with Pascal for a few more months until my turn comes.

Mikojan posted:I was convinced at first that the 3080 was the card for me but, its only 10-15% faster than a 2080TI? And the 3070 will be slightly slower than a 2080TI most likely? But it is 40% more expensive, not 50%, and around 25% faster at 1440p and 30% faster at 2160p? Where are you getting 10-15%? The 3080 is actually pretty compelling in terms of price-to-performance compared to most high-end cards. There are always diminishing returns, but much less than usual here. Based off of trends, I'd expect the 3070 to be slower than the 2080Ti at 1440p and probably only faster at 2160p. pyrotek fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Oct 8, 2020 |

Why are people allowed to pre-order GPUs in other countries but we can’t seem to do it in America? Is it because they think there would be too many American pre-orders? Our country does have the most Rona problems so it also probably has the most “people who want to still stay indoors all the time.” I mean Elon musk has no problem holding onto a $100 from people for a product that doesn’t even exist to be purchased. I’m willing to pay full price today plus extra for two of these things if I can just not have to ever go to Best Buy‘s website ever again and hit refresh.

That benchmark is easier to run at the beginning because there’s literally no one shooting and nothing going on and barely any smoke. If the borderlands 3 benchmark is so good then why didn’t you just show us how it ended where it tells you the score.........

I’m pretty locked in due to the fact that we both now have pretty nice 144 Hz G sync displays. I hope the AMD is GPU is just as good as the 3080 there’s a ton of them to buy so that way I don’t have to fight as hard for a strix when it finally hits America sometime in October next year. I would love for Nvidia to poo poo itself over the fact that AMD has lots of actual product on shelves. They really really really deserve it

Digital Foundry takes a look at DLSS Ultra Performance mode at 8k tl/dr: DLSS is good, but not magic - native 8K is far superior, 1440p->8k is just asking too much from it. 4k DLSS->8K provides comparable quality to native, but 1440P in ultra performance mode just introduces too many artifacts. *throws 8K TV in the trash*

Yeah, looks like 5-15% below a 3080 in what I'd assume are best-case tests right now, and obviously no DLSS and probably limited RT capabilities. But if they can drop a card like that at $600 and do so in quantity, I could see a lot of people going for it.

Euphoriaphone posted:I swapped out one of the other cables I got in the pack, and it seems to be working now without issue, G-Sync included. I tested it out with some Mirror's Edge 2 at 4K/120hz and it was smooooth. Nice dude! Yeah ME2 is unoptimized as hell I think. Personally I see a giant difference from 60 to 100 fps. I've been playing RDR2 at an average of 4K/100fps for a few hours and it's loving great. Not saying you're wrong just my experience!! What blows my mind is how everything good about OLED works together on HDMI 2.1: 1) single digit input lag 2) near instant pixel response 3) OLED contrast / black levels 4) 4K 120 5) real HDR And they kind of compound on each other to make an experience that is, if anything, even better than I expected. I don't even know what I would improve at this point. Maybe 4K/240 or something I guess? lol. I don't mean to gush it's just like, the culmination of everything we knew the tech could be. I've been waiting for approaching 2 years for this and it would be so easy to like... be disappointed given the high expectations, but it really came through. If you're looking for something to check out, Hades is a game that has really blown my mind so far, it's not intensive or anything but it's super fast paced so the pixel and input lag and high FPS shine, the art is vibrant and dark. It relies on everything that makes OLED good. It's also a loving awesome game. quote:https://www.bluejeanscable.com/. I don't know anything about the quality of the product, but I will say the quality of the website is top notch.[/url] Hah! Yeah their website is... not great. They somehow have a great reputation in the... um... cable community? Weird typing that out but it's true. They are a go-to on the high end. I know very little about it though. VorpalFish posted:Yeah my takeaway from 4k -> 8k as good as native is "it's still loving magic." DLSS is god tier and it's endlessly funny to me how many AMD people are like "ITS FAKE BRO ITS JUST UPSCALING" like so? What's your loving point dude, guess what video games are fake too dawg, they're rendering a fake thing that you are seeing, so why are you mad? People find funny ways to justify things that are threatening to their worldview.

Of course who really gives a poo poo about 8k at this point, but Nvidia certainly made it a marketing point - if not a major one - for the 3090, I mean they got Linus to do a 10 minute ad on it (yeah not exactly arm pulling involved). DLSS Ultra-performance was marketed at allowing "8K" at playable framerates - if DLSS UP doesn't actually look anything close to 8k, it at least deserves to be mentioned, regardless of how small the market may be - Nvidia made it a point of focus for their $1500 product. Considering how often DF does pieces that skirt close to advertorials, a little bewildering to see the reaction here "Like, duh it's still magic" when they actually investigate marketing claims.
