I'm in the situation where I live in the UK, have a 1080 I'd like to sell to my brother, and would like to end up with either a 3070 or 3080 eventually. Looking into the step up program there's mentions online of EVGA not offering it in the UK due to Brexit, but I can't get a sure answer, which sucks since I'd be happy with a 2070 or something for cyberpunk in the meantime. Cannot believe this poo poo still isn't settled. It hosed with the prices on my 1080 when I was doing my current build years ago and now it's loving up my new build plans.

Kraftwerk posted:Anyone who wants a Strix card should be turning your bots and F5 keys on newegg. They’re periodically going on sale at random. Like 2:37 AM EST last night. They drop between 5-7 at a time. Ill give it a shot but I’ve decided finally getting a new PC case and getting rid of my 5 1/4 bays will keep me busy for long enough that hopefully things are less lovely. Until I get my strix I think I’m going to use a Y splitter so my AIO can drive a fan hub and control my entire case. It might even make sense to leave it that way but I can’t wait to try giving the strix access to all my fans other then the cpu rad.

Pivo posted:The memory has error detection and retransmission since GDDR5. You can clock it high enough that it encounters corruption on the bus but it will automatically retransmit. It will run degraded rather than crashing (to a certain extent). on the other hand i had everything cooled well so maybe the memory isn't hot enough. still bizarre though thus my earlier post MarcusSA posted:Does this seem like a valid time spy score at 1440p?

Hmm so it’s really only a 1k difference in graphics since you have a better processor. Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:i didn't get any perf dropoff, just scaling until it crashed at 2400, 2350 is stable. i was stepping up 50mhz increments and expected a perf drop well before crashes I’m running it stock at 3.9 or whatever it is. I’m not sure a 1k difference is really that big of a deal?

MarcusSA posted:I’m not sure a 1k difference is really that big of a deal? Well it probably doesn't point to anything wrong with your card itself but if you look on 3DMark of scores of people with the same CPU & graphics card as you, you're on the lower end of the curve there, below average. There might be something specific to your system lowering performance, maybe configuration, maybe software. It might be interesting to find out what it is, but it doesn't matter much in the end. Benchmarks are just a tool after all.

I’m having knee surgery on Monday so if I can’t figure it out tomorrow it’s gonnna have to wait a month or so.

drat Dirty Ape posted:Are those poscaps I see? no, because they arent panasonic and poscaps is a panasonic trademark  but for real a) the entire issue was bullshit and not directly related to what caps were on the back of the gpu and b) retail versions of the EVGA have a different cap config on the back of the card, only pre-retail samples (like GNs) have that cap config

it totally works fine with a single daisy chain cable. It definitely works better with 2 separate ones. I wouldnt worry about it until cyberpunk comes out and you actually push it hard enough to need the extra clocks. You can try raising the power limit in afterburner and setting a more aggressive fan curve. It boosted my scores a fair bit

The whole needing two cables thing is pretty much specific to Ampere, right? There's almost no likelihood of seeing an improvement on a 2070 Super, right?

Hmm, I've got a 970 I'm using two plugs on the same cable for. You think I might get a bit extra out of this card if I can dig up my cables? (Gonna need to dig them up anyway when I get a 30xx order on ofc)

(Gonna need to dig them up anyway when I get a 30xx order on ofc) I doubt it. The reason it’s starting to matter with the 30xx is the power draw is bumping up towards the maximum two plugs can draw, and running them through different cables makes it more stable. The 970 is rated for 148W max which is well under the 300w those two plugs can supply (theoretically one plug would suffice) so it should be a non issue at that level.

To piggyback off of this: before putting the 3080 in, I ran a second cable to my 980 ti (one 8-pin, one 6-pin) and there was no difference in power draw compared to the single cable with both 8-pin and 6-pin connections, which is exactly what I expected. Needed it for the 3080 anyway thanks to your early power tests.

Got a new motherboard (MSI X570 MAG Tomahawk Wifi) earlier today for Zen 3 and took the time to get the Seasonic 12-pin cable installed. I was a little disappointed after taking it out of the box that they didn't really do much other than make straight cables with connectors but it's free and I have zip ties. So not a big deal. Still way cleaner than the FE's adapter.

Also, BIG HEADLINE posted:The serial number on the card begins with "2014." Makes you wonder if they've really been sitting on these since April. The serial number on my Gigabyte starts with 2036, so I guess I have some kind of future tech?

I’m coming from a 1070 so either way I’ve got a much better card. Not a huge deal if EVGA renege on the offer, but 1080 would be a riskier proposition as you won’t get as much of a performance bump and risk not getting a 3080.

Yeah, only thing I can really find is a forum post from 2 years ago from an EVGA rep saying "the Step-Up Option will definitely continue for the future" with regards to the UK. Tried to register on the evga forums to ask if it's still the case but the registration system seems to be borked (at least for me). Might just take a chance and go for it considering my brother's buying my 1080 at a decent price and I really cannot be arsed dealing with selling the card on eBay etc. EDIT: When roughly did you put yourself in the queue?

Popped into a new game of Control with RTX on High (except debris) and was getting stutters including audio before I even got control of the character. I was pretty bummed until I realized I still had nvidia-snatcher running 5 copies of Chrome in a top speed loop. Much better now.

Can anyone here who is playing on a Gsync enabled OLED tell me how it works in praxis? Do you enable it in the control panel and the TV and then just set ingame VSync to off and that's it? Are there still perceptible stutters in games when they're loading assets for example? What's the lowest framerate you need to reach for stutters to not be perceptible?

What's the lowest framerate you need to reach for stutters to not be perceptible? Enable in the control panel and set V-Sync to always on. In games you can turn V-Sync off. It makes gameplay way smoother on the LG C9 between 40fps and 120fps. Loading assets may still cause stutter as that’s a separate issue, but it shouldn’t be a problem with a modern CPU pulling data from an SSD.

Where have you seen people mention EVGA might pull step up from us? I'm in the exact same boat as you, I'm after a 3070 but depending on stock availability I was half planning on buying a 2000 series card and just waiting in the step up queue. Any 2000 card I buy will be a wild upgrade over what I currently have so I'd be happy with that in the meantime.

SpaceCadetBob posted:I dont want to wait anymore for a card I might not get for who knows how many months. Guess I'm gonna grab an evga 2070 super off amazon and at least get to play cyberpunk on release since my current rig certainly wont be able to play it. I've been sat on a 'preorder' at scan.co.uk that was awaiting picking when I bought it and has been incrementally pushed back for nearly a month now. I found the checking and waiting was getting to me so I bought a 1660 super for the meantime (as I had RMAd my last card a week before launch - normally I don't buy stuff on launch.) I will just hold off on rdr2 and control for a few more weeks. Its a lot less stressful than checking the websites all the time for an update. Also the 1660 has gone up in price slightly on amazon since buying it so hopefully shouldn't lose more than about £20 plus fees when I ebay it.
