Sold my 2080Ti (sadly mostly unused) to friend for the same amount I paid last December and got a 1060 3 GB in trade. Free GPU yay?

I remember only so long ago scoffing at paying more than $200 for a GPU back to the GTX 560 Ti and now there I was only so long ago dropping $2k. What a terrible world

ASRock finally pushed out the beta BIOS for my hipster motherboard which enabled Resizable BAR.

Does anyone know if I can force it on/off for all games at once if I have a 3080?

It is my understanding that you can use profile inspector to edit unknown flags:

0x000F00BA and 0x000F00BB to 0x00000001
0x000F00FF to 0x0000000040000000

on a per-application basis. Results will vary wildly by game. I don't know if you can (or should) change the flags in the global rules.

If you didn't pay horrible markup for it, and you aren't like me with a monitor that's got Nvidia proprietary lock-ins, maybe use it for a year and reconsider after? It's why I eventually decided to not sell the PS5 I stumbled upon. I'm going to need something to do if this drags on to the point where this 1070 is unusable at 1440 Medium.

The correct course of action is to buy it and then hit up a Microcenter Discord to trade for a 3060ti.

If the rumors can be believed, GPU performance will triple sometime next year

3x faster doesn't mean 3x fps. That's a fairly standard generational uplift.

I can maybe see them being 3x faster in one specific case of raytracing or some other similar weakness, but nowhere near that kind of increase across the board.

One of the discord's reported a bunch of bots opening up sign-ups this week.

One is like $150 a month with Autocheckout and a *$600* 'set up' fee.

So pretty much need to scalp a card or two for it to balance out.

3x probably refers to RT performance which might make AMD cards ok for that.

So EVGA is not showing the GT 210 I ordered from Adorama as eligible for step up. Did something change or did I somehow order the wrong card?

Has to have "K" in the sku to be eligible for step-up if I remember from some years back.

Reading the Techpage for the Metro Exodus update showed an interesting take on the debate of doing true RTGI and RTXGI styled dynamic probes. Why not both!

First hit is full RTGI with single bounce once per frame. then the probes sample the lighting to add to themselves to cache for infinite light bounces.

I guess I clicked the link in the thread, saw that the KR 210 was on backorder, and then ordered the in stock LR 210. Never once wondering why the LR would be in stock.

Sorry, my bad.

Also interesting is that RTGI samples light from the probes as well. I was wondering how they were getting good indirect shadows for lights that bounced more than once.
