Even in VR I don’t think you’re going to see much pushing the limits with the dual issues of needing high framerates and PC VR being a niche within a niche as standalone VR grows. But it’s an area where you can still show gains even if it’s a generation or 2 away from now.

She was imitating collage-style artwork on the computer. You know, composing images by cropping, cutting, and pasting other images together. She'd often mash up landscapes and big things from lots of little things, which gave them a surreal quality. Now we have networks like DeepDream that automate this part and this Nvidia demo that does it on the fly. It's insanely cool.

Really doesn't take long to get something neat looking. But you really feel how the app steers you towards shapes that it understands.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Yes, I actually had to cancel my asus TUF non-oc order from ocuk at their staff's urging because it didn't show up even after five months. And for all intents and purposes, it was a dropship. Because Asus shipped it as singular item to the shop I've ordered it. They just put it as-is, all with the original UPS code still on it, in their own packaging when forwarding it to me. Means the shop didn't even get a pallet of things, just single cards.

I’m not sure if I’m aware of the problem, but I have two 27” 1440p monitors and one is 170hz and one is 60hz and I can game fine on the former with proper refresh rates. So maybe it’s fixed?

Functionally it's fine, the problem was it prevented the card from entering its lowest power state on the desktop I dunno if it's fixed now, it's been fixed before and regressed after a while

When was this last known to be a problem? I ran a dual monitor setup on a 1060 for a while and it seemed fine? Maybe I just never noticed, on account of being on a 1060 that never got more than 60fps in anything anyway. edit: oh, then I probably wouldn't have noticed if it was an issue with power states.

repiv posted:Functionally it's fine, the problem was it prevented the card from entering its lowest power state on the desktop My understanding was it was an issue where both monitors synced to the lowest refresh available. So if you played a 60FPS movie on a 60hz monitor and a video game on a 144hz monitor, the game would be capped at 60FPS. I remember reading posts about it ITT to a friend and so he bought double 1440p/144hz monitors. I'm buying my second such gaming monitor, and want to sell my first to help fund it and instead use a 15 year old 4:3 monitor for Twitch chat or whatever.

Do anything on a 60 Hz monitor 2 and it would make monitor 1 sync to 60 Hz regardless of its actual refresh rate. Also it was a windows problem (DWM limitation) more than it was a nvidia problem because it happened on AMD cards too, it has been significantly improved in the most recent windows 10 updates. You may occasionally still run into hiccups where the faster monitor reduces its refresh rate while something is animating on the slower monitor, but it will be less frequent and doesn't last as long when it does happen. Previously the faster monitor would sync to 60 Hz and stay there until whatever was on the slower monitor stopped or was closed. And almost anything could set it off, for instance having almost any "modern" app from the windows app store even open would force all monitors to 60 Hz even if the modern app isn't actually doing anything.

I saw that the "Graphics Settings" in the latest Windows 10 updates have a "Variable Refresh Rate" switch now and it was rumored turning this on fixes the problem. I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience before I start throwing money around.

I ran a custom fan curve on my 3070 FE to test what kind of temps it would hit at 100% fan speed under load (cranked ray tracing in Control and ran it at 1440p without DLSS), and it sounded like a rocket taking off, jesus. All to keep temps at like 74 C in an ITX case.

The UK also banned one of the big exchanges from trading in the country. Cards have been hanging in stock for a short while now so all we're really waiting for is for the prices to start coming down, that's not a thing that's guaranteed to happen though given these sites probably paid inflated prices for the cards from distributors and they're probably not going to eat a loss on them until they absolutely have to.

I think refresh rates that weren't divisible with each other caused this problem but 60 & 120 hz didn't cause problems - Well, at least regards to stuttering in games. I had this problem for the longest time with my 75 hz and two 60 hz monitors and I just ended up using Microsoft's garage project "Mouse Without Borders" to attach my secondary and tertiary monitor to a laptop and seamlessly move mouse between two PCs. It seems to be solved now (by this?) but I still see Twitch/Youtube become unwatchable if I end up in an intensive scene in a game. Regardless what browser and whether I'm running with hardware acceleration on or off in browser  But that's partially probably due to my aging RX 480 paired with a 5600x.

I haven’t had any drivers issues specific to the multi monitor setup. Instead, there’s been a persistent issue in Ubuntu for me where running Nvidia-smi (think GPU monitoring) in a shell causes graphics stuttering.

 Just a tip for anyone needing a card in Norway/Scandinavia: Check the restock section ("demovare") on popular online retailers. The cards there are slightly above the US MSRP, but they're well below the Norwegian MSRP, actually in stock, and also below the secondhand listings on finn.no. I checked an Asus 3060 Gaming OC that is listed for 8000 NOK on Finn.no used, and there are multiple restocked cards being sold at 5350 NOK.Restocks might just be an unsealed retail box with everything in it, or it could even be a card that had its cooler repaired or something.

Wow. The 3080 does not like being on a balanced power plan, for whatever reason - pulling almost 1/3 under where it should be in Time Spy. Flipped it onto high and it immediately starts kicking out figures more in line with the rest of the Internet.

Trip Report from Microcenter. If you’re not in the know, Microcenter is doing a queue system now where you show up, scan a QR code, then enter your vitals to get a place in line. Just before the store opens you’ll get a text telling you if you are getting a card or not. Once you ‘win’ you’re assigned a spot in line, and after that it’s first come first serve. 10 minutes to claim your spot once the text goes out, and if you want a specific chipset or SKU it can be luck of the draw, but if you get a spot you at least won’t be empty handed. Today in Cambridge, Massachusetts they had quite few NVIDA 30 series cards…they might have had some AMD ones as well but my brain would have glossed over those. The QR sign had a list of stock…it was something like 10x 3090, 10x 3090 TI, 10x 3080, 10x 3080 TI, you get the idea. I think they only had 2x of the 3070/3070 TI, so that would have been a hard one to lay hands on. I scored a place in line and was actually #2 to pick, but I wanted a vanilla 3080 so my future would have been reasonably secure even quite a ways back in line. FWIW, the Cambridge QR period is 9:00 am to 9:30 am, and while there was some activity there it didn’t seem like a big crowd. I feel like anyone who got there in the window probably had a chance to buy a card, and the miscellaneous crowd who were hoping for stock after opening probably did OK as well.

I got one too and have zero recollection of signing up for a notification queue position, since I jumped in the step up queue as quickly as I could and have had my 3080 since March now. I wonder how easy it is to accidentally sign up for a “notify me” if you’re logged into your EVGA account.
