I tried getting her one of those "can't be knocked over" cups but she just glared at me. Anyhow that's why her PC itself lives on a separate small table a few feet away against a wall and the monitors are on arms or a small shelf.

Hopefully it fixes the "monochrome webcam picture as soon as more than three people are present in the chat" issue with Microsoft Teams/Skype as well, another annoying bug the past two Nvidia drivers have been plagued by.

So here's a GPU-aligned question. I'm running a Ryzen 3600 with a Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3070, and thought my power supply was alright - a Seasonic 620W Bronze PSU. It's been stable and fine so far. But on the off chance my suspicion is correct that it isn't quite great - especially if I slap a 5900x into it down the road - what would be an ideal PSU for this config? Other specs are pretty pedestrian - 4 8GB sticks of DDR4-3000, 6TB HDD, 1 gig NVMe, Blu-ray drive.

I got the chance to buy a Nitro+ 6900 XT from Newegg but I'm not sure if I should actually do it I'd have to get a different case to hold the thing though because virtually all of the new cards are terrible for most mITX cases. If I did buy it, I'd sell my 1080ti which as far as I know is currently selling for way more than it should be triple sulk fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Not that it really changes the outcome of my GPU purchase, but RTX-High in Control is kind of a personal letdown for me. I can spot the difference of RTX on/off, but in a way I can’t put into words, I can’t bring myself to care about it. Game still looks completely amazing without it on. I’d love to try out Minecraft RTX, but it looks like I’d have to buy a high priced, worse version of Minecraft because the Java edition I bought in 2009 doesn’t allow me to play this other version.

My favorite are the people arguing that you should buy a double-sized PSU at +$100 or more so that you can run it at ~50% and hit that peak efficiency because if you run it at load like that 24/7 for a few years eventually it'll end up saving you money!

I mean, seems like a pretty reasonable argument depending on your energy cost. With semi-passive PSUs it also means the fan will stay off more often.

I was just playing this a few minutes ago having not played it since Cyberpunk came out and I think that game spoiled RT for me because Control doesn't look as good with it on high as I remembered it. Still a great looking game, thoug but I get what you are saying.

Considering a higher wattage PSU usually isn't all that much more, that would amortize pretty quickly (maybe 1-2 years) in many countries if you were to run it 24/7 at peak utilization. But that doesn't seem realistic. I guess it's not a reasonable argument.

But that doesn't seem realistic. I guess it's not a reasonable argument. Yeah, it's not. For argument's sake, if you've got 500W of actual load, a 650W Seasonic is about $100. If you want to ride the max efficiency curve, you need a 1000W PSU, which is ~$250. US average electricity cost is 13c/kWh. Even if you double that for living in a high-cost area, if you ran that system at the 500W load (gaming?) for 8hrs/day, 7 days/wk, a 3% efficiency difference (which is what most 80 Plus rated PSUs will give you between 50% load and 100% load), you're saving 840W/wk, or $0.22. That's $11/yr, so it'd take 13 years to break even on the cost. If you run it at that same 500W load 24/7/365, you save $34/yr, so it'd still take 5 years to pay off. Might be good for buttcoin farming, but as a Normal Person you will never pay back that initial premium. Now if you want to pay $150 so the fan kicks on less / never? That's a totally reasonable thing if you're searching for silence. But the 50%/100% efficiency thing is just silly unless the cost for the larger unit is trivial.

Malloc Voidstar posted:https://news.mydrivers.com/1/736/736968.htm Gonna be hilarious if it turns out that AMD shoving so much VRAM onto their cards means they end up losing the price advantage they were trying to use as an edge over Ampere. I mean in the end it won't matter because people are already often paying +50% thanks to scalpers. Clearly we've yet to hit the price limit for these things.

I’m frankly amazed that NVIDIA has been holding the line on MSRP despite the tariffs and despite basically every component they put into the cards increasing. I’ve been waiting and waiting for that shoe to drop for weeks and so far it still hasn’t, everyone but NVIDIA has cranked prices. I rushed to grab a 3080 FE a few weeks ago figuring increases were imminent and so far nothing. Maybe they’re just taking it on the chin in margin rather than deal with the collective outcry over MSRP increases, obviously being the company who designs the chips gives them a fair amount of flexibility on margins. 3060 not having a FE means that prices are free to float to whatever though. It probably will end up just a bit cheaper than 3060 Ti MSRP or maybe even a little above.

I'd also imagine seeing as the 3060Ti is evidently a mining darling, the 12GB 3060 will be similarly desirable even given the 192-bit bus. Of course, they're buying *everything* right now, so...

(last page's chat) I had a RTX 2060 and it was OK for 2560x1600 60Hz. But not for more. I bought a RTX 3080 for 2560x1440 165fps gaming and it has been good enough. Definitely for high hz gaming I recommend at least a 3080. hobbesmaster posted:People have been saying for years to only use half of your PSU capacity. On something like a seasonic that’s bullshit. I do that. 3080+8700K is around 500W. I have a 1000W HX1000i from Corsair, because that way the PSU runs cool and quiet. When stressing out a PSU too much the psu fan starts to make too much noise for my taste. Quiet PSU is one benefit from oversizing. Fan curve looks like this:  And I avoid the zone where the fan ramps up under load. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jan 27, 2021 |
