Nomyth posted:What are the latest passively-cooled or at least max <20 dB noise recommendations for GPUs nowadays? I'd like to do some heavy gaming on a build I have planned for next spring (i don't really do anything "light" tbh), with hopefully as many bells and whistles I can possibly turn on for War Thunder (which has DLSS now?) and Escape from Tarkov. Is no-one going to point out how straight up insane this is? The ambient noise floor (including other fans in the system) in GNs recent GPU testing is 21db. This guy want's a GPU which is literally silent. Nothing that can pull off the bells and whistles you want is that quiet under load. Nothing. As for sleeping in the same room though, most if not all the current crop of Nvidia GPUs turn the fan off when not in use, so they would be silent while you're sleeping.

Harik posted:assuming eventual availability (febuary, lol) are the current gen AMD cards actually... good? Good, yes. MSRP is cheaper, rasterization is about equal, power efficiency is better and they have more VRAM BUT actual AMD prices are right now more expensive and Nvidia has so much more good features, significantly better RT performance and are actually (kind of) available so no reason to try to hunt down an AMD card for now. I'd be happy with either one but Nvidia wins hands down right now as far as I'm concerned.

It was supposed to be only 260 kilos but it actually is much heavier, since it took six people (the sixth is hidden in the photos, behind the door) and LOTS of effort to install it in place. The walls are around 36cm thick with 10cm sound blocking material within.

Harik posted:assuming eventual availability (febuary, lol) are the current gen AMD cards actually... good? The lack of DLSS is a killer for me. I have a 4k 60Hz monitor and a 3070 and even ignoring ray-tracing, DLSS is the difference between playing at 4k 60fps and 4k something less than 60fps on games like Control and I presume Cyberpunk 2077. If you're sub-4k (and the majority of people are, especially gamers) and don't care about raytracing, maybe the AMD cards make sense.

exquisite tea posted:Hey folks, I've been having some troubles since installing my MSI Ventus RTX 3080 last week, and I'm trying to narrow it down to whether it's a problem within a specific game, the driver, the hardware, or all three. Any help would be appreciated. So just as an update from this, since I know everybody is very interested: I had some extra RAM lying around, so I stuck that in and set it to its recommended XMP profile. And I guess AC Valhalla just didn't like my previous timings or the RAM itself, because I haven't had any crashes for the past 3-4 hours of playing. Strange because I just upgraded my RAM a couple months ago and hadn't run into any problems before installing the 3080. Maybe there's something about this GPU that makes it really finicky about memory, since DRIVER_IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL would presumably mean the Nvidia driver was paging memory that didn't exist. Who knows! Computers are weird folks.

NVidia is theoretically in a really good place with the 3060Ti being the only thing in that price-range that offers that kind of value (better than the 5700XT in rasterization, AND it has ray-tracing, AND it has DLSS), but it's rather contingent upon the things being available and for selling at that price.

Throwing it out there officially: My MSI Gaming X Trio 3070 (the honking huge 323mm one with LEDs and three fans) is shipping from Newegg today. When I get it in the next few days, I'm going to put it on SAmart to trade for a 3060 ti (preferably FE, but no worries if no one can snag it) and the cost of shipping since it likely won't fit in my case and I have a 550 watt PSU and want to maintain as much headroom as I can. People in this thread will get priority.

Who knows! Computers are weird folks. Considering its Valhalla, it may just be the game? I've had to stop playing it on my 3080 since I can't go more than an hour since the patch without it crashing. Sometimes as little as 10 minutes wherein it will just lock up. No issues in any other games.

They had 100+ 3060 Tis at my local Micro Center, a good amount of 3070s, and some 3080s amd 3090s. They still had a bunch of 3060 Ti vouchers and some 3070 left at the end of the line. Hopefully this means stock will be a bit better than prior launches online.

If in Europe the 3060 is showing as available at ldlc. But they're at 600ish and the 3070 is listed at 700ish though not available e: also on casekings e: all gone on ldlc, casekings still have cards but their website is obviously under strain Interesting to see the rush in real time Goofballs fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Dec 2, 2020 |

At 6AM I started refreshing newegg and checked out with the 3060ti Gigabyte the second it dropped. It went out of stock less than a minute later. Praying it actually ships and they don't delete the order later in the day.

seems to be that microcenter is locally saturating its markets and driving down local markups while demand in places that don't sell cards retail (almost everywhere else?) it's still sky high im in the evga 3060ti queue for a friend who can't no-life this. also ask me about 2080ti blowers, I had one until a few weeks ago when I put an Accelero on it. I got it cheap, used, from someone who also bought it cheap using someone else's cash for research that wound up going in a different direction (aka a quieter card) it worked. it didnt boost well, it never ever crashed, it was loud but mostly it was high pitched enough that you could hear it downstairs in the living room faintly. now its 8-10dB quieter and boosts better. bus hustler fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Dec 2, 2020 |

Just like a lot of y'all, I've been sitting on the Best Buy site since 6:00 and the cards are still showing as coming soon. How does their "queue" system work again? Once you are able to add to cart (if it ever happens), you can't refresh or it puts you to the back of the line?

It's possible I snagged a 3060. Was refreshing a bunch of websites at 2pm and I got the buy now notification for a Gigabyte card on Scan UK. Just snapped it up quickly, had to fill out a bunch of anti-bot measures which maybe helped? Payment went through and I have the order received e-mail from them, so fingers crossed. I refreshing a minute later and everything is sold out. CCL did have a bit of stock left, might be worth checking them if anyone still looking? They have some 3060s as recent as 10 minutes ago.

gradenko_2000 posted:Because of 3 and 4, it's difficult to recommend either of them unless you're only playing non-RT games AND you know you're not going to playing ray-traced games until your next GPU purchase. I'd further add that we aren't going to see many RT games until probably 2 years from now anyway, since for one making a multi platform title means baseline lighting implementation will be non-RT as it still needs to run on non-RT platforms. To get the most out of raytracing, you'd need to do what Minecraft RT devs are doing and write the rendering implementation from ground up and I just don't see many devs choosing to do that.
