mA posted:There was a NY Times article a week or two ago that mentioned a Youtube channel with ~1,000,000 subs will pull in about $70k per year in YouTube ad revenue, which is not a lot, but channels that large or larger are probably also getting revenue from other sponsorship opportunities. Regular Youtube ads are definitely the smallest income component for just about everyone. Instead, they rely on in-video sponsorships (can't be adblocked so they pay better) and subscription services like patreon.

Honestly I find the in-video sponsorships far more palatable than regular ad cuts, at least they sorta mesh with what you're watching usually.

Adblock doesn’t matter to most YouTubers because VPN/hosts style blockers see it coming from the same domain as the video, and iOS/Android and the streaming devices outperform Firefox/Chrome/etc on x86 by a good margin.

Is there an app for iPhone/tvOS on the Apple store? I saw the same rent-a-wreck car ad like forty times in a row watching a UE5 “build a MMO” series yesterday. This never happens on my phone or desktop.

I can choose between these 3060ti cards: GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti EAGLE OC 8G MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti VENTUS 2X 8GB GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti GAMING OC 8G Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual They are listed from cheapest to most expensive but their prices are close. Which one should I buy?

Sort by cheapest, then decide between the two cheapest by "looks coolest".

KinkyJohn posted:I can choose between these 3060ti cards: Ventus is my pick. Its visually very stealthy and the perf is great. The gaming OC probably has the "best cooler" but its completely overkill and you wont even come close to pushing its cooling limits. Would be a good choice if extreme silence is important. None of them will be loud. I dont get Palit in my region so i cant say, but that backplate is um interesting NeverRelax fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Sep 4, 2021 |

I'd go for the gaming OC just because of the effective cooler and slight overclock out of the box, but to be fair, the difference across the four cards is going to be unnoticeable. I think it would come down to what warranty each card comes with

Would that indicate that 3060ti's might have pretty decent headroom making an overbuilt cooler possibly worthwhile?

KinkyJohn posted:I can choose between these 3060ti cards: The gigabyte gaming oc should be the coolest/highest clocked with the 3 fan cooler. Between the two fan cards, I think I'd pick the Ventus 2x as the heatsink looks a little larger, but I doubt there will be much difference.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I don't think anyone discussing the dropping view counts has actually indicated that they're in financial trouble or anything. Just a "yeah, this is happening, and we think it's because of dropping interest in PC hardware" (which is a pretty big assumption imo but it could be related) I doubt it - I think people are just less likely to build a PC on their own when it is much more cost effective these days to just buy a pre-built machine. That would be my theory anyways. Really happy I caved and impulsively bought a 6700xt. It's playing everything I'm throwing at it at Ultra settings well over 60fps (with no ray tracing of course). I will say this card gets pretty hot (AsRock 6700xt Challenger D 12GB). I was playing metro exodus yesterday and had temps peak at 89c-90c. I looked it up and the 6700xt won't thermal throttle until 100c which to me is crazy? Is that the norm for cards these days? I figured most everything cut power around 95c.

I would think you would always save money building it yourself since it cuts out the labor costs. Does it simply come down to the current market on the one component, the GPU?

AMD throttling is based on hot spot temperature, reported in the AMD driver software as the junction temperature. They use a shitload of temp sensors across the die so they can push it harder and throttle only when the hottest spot is getting too hot. I don't know what the 6700 XT's throttle point is. The 5700 XT is 110c on the hot spot.

So you can get something now, at a reasonable price. If/when GPUs stop being supply constrained, building your own PC will again be more cost effective

No, they still charge you more than the retail price of the parts, if you count "retail price" as the elevated MSRP of the components set by the board partners. But even getting the cards at that price is a challenge. When people say that buying prebuilts is a comparatively good deal currently, they mean over paying scalper prices.

you can get a whole PC with a 3080 for the price of a scalper 3080 bottom tier ram, ssd, cpu cooler, psu and mobo but still a pretty strong value

Considering some scalpers are asking $1400 for certain 3070 variants, this is only $200 more for an entirely and completely capable machine.

^^edit: Yeah, that's a pretty decent price for that build actually. The cheapest 3080 prebuilts I've found recently are some $2100 PCs a few weeks back when the ebay 3080s were more like $1600 or $1700 on ebay. So not quite, but not too far off, either.

If I want to play games next generation raytraced at around 60fps in 4K, would it be better just to wait for the 4080 or something else down the line then just get the 3080? I'm considering just biting the bullet at a 3060 and just upgrade it two or three years later when this madness ends.

If you want to play current generation games raytraced at 4k60, and you mean a true 4K with no DLSS, a 3090 will barely handle that.

Well, with DLSS you'll be able to do that with a 3080. Otherwise the 3080 will not do 4K60 with ray tracing in some games. DLSS is getting pretty good though, so that's not much of a compromise to make for smooth top-end high-res visuals. Though the 4080 will do it better obviously.

Has anyone here ever experienced a G-Sync glitch where their FPS gets locked to a certain framerate that's well below what the PC is capable of, and the only way to fix it is to disable G-Sync and then re-enable it? Happens to my brother every now and then, e.g., in Aliens Fireteam Elite he normally averages around ~100-110 FPS, but sometimes his FPS gets hardlocked to a consistent 70 FPS. Has happened to him in Overwatch as well. He has a 144Hz G-Sync compatible display and an RTX 3060 12GB card.

Was able to fix this by enabling g-sync only for fullscreen, not windowed+fullscreen.
