Call me an idiot, but I think it would be cool if the Steam Deck took off and Sega made their own Steam Deck variant packed in with Yakuza and Sonic Mania.

Shipon posted:Does disabling g-sync for windowed applications mean you'll still get tearing in borderless windowed games then? No. Borderless windowed counts as full screen as far as nvidia's drivers are concerned. It just applies to regular windowed stuff. As a weeb, I noticed that setting caused weird poo poo to happen with visual novels. Moving the game window around made the system oddly laggy and caused screen flickers and other display issues while windowed mode g-sync was enabled, while it's perfectly fine with the fullscreen-applications-only setting enabled. I've noticed a handful of non-games causing issues too, such as Ryzen Master, if I recall correctly.

If I’m using DLSS + DSR to supersample on a 1440p monitor, is it better for me to say go for 4K quality or 5k balanced? Does it make a difference?

change my name posted:I have an ultrabook and a gaming desktop, and honestly since I've been working from home the last 2 years, I've been tempted to just sell both and buy a laptop with a 3080 in it. I don't really go anywhere anymore, but for occasional travel I think those chungus laptops are fine. I would think long and hard about how you use your laptop even just at home before doing something like this. Larger laptops usually mean you aren't gonna grab it and go use it on a couch, or in bed. It just becomes a louder, shittier desktop. I'm not saying there's no use case for DRT devices, specifically people who travel and absolutely need local performance on the road but the size of a mobile device is going to impact how you use it. Gotta say, my biggest regret about my current laptop (2016 blade 14, so maybe half a pound heavier and slightly larger than the current gen) is how big and loud it is, and that's "only" 4 pounds. I can't imagine using one of those 9 pound drt laptops in your actual lap.

Thanks for the advice on undervolting, everyone! I did it and temperatures are much better. I played Metro Exodus for a few hours last night and didn't get above 74C. I didn't notice any impact on performance and I think I have a pretty aggressive undervolt (1960 MhZ and 900 mV right now, if I'm reading this right).

Video game launchers (FFXIV, for example) also gets extremely laggy when this option is enabled.

Is buying used from ebay a bad idea? My gpu died last week and cus i have no integrated graphics ive been pretty desperate for a card. I had the 1070 mini before and it was good enough for what I used it for https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334248642100 Price is high for an old card but the important thing is that its a decent card that has dvi port for my 144hz monitor which is incompatable with dp. Am i being dumb as poo poo here

I've brought probably over a dozen GPUs from Facebook Marketplace at this point (in person and posted) and only been scammed once, and the prices have been far better than eBay - so I'd recommend looking on there. FYI £333 for a 1070 feels too high, I'd be hoping for £250 or so.

Put my new computer with the 3070 together this morning. That Asus/Noctua cooler preforms really well. Not sure yet what to think of the coil whine on that card though. In Control at 1080p/60fps with all the graphical whatsits enabled, the card produces one hell of a buzzing noise. My previous card was a R9 380, so it could be I'm just not used to the noises modern higher end card produce.

Nooo  This is very much a random luck kind of thing where most of the time you'll get a card without coil whine, but sometimes you'll get one with a lot. My 3080 Ti has none, so it's not just a matter of "better card = more whine." You just got really unlucky. The only tricks there are to reducing coil whine are either obfuscating it with other sources of noise or sending less power to the card. Not to respond to every issue with "try undervolting," but... try undervolting?  Vasler posted:Thanks for the advice on undervolting, everyone! I did it and temperatures are much better.

I've tried more aggressive undervolts than that with varying levels of success (stability gets hit or miss below that in some games). It can take a little bit of time to dial in a perfect undervolt, so going with something that you know just works is smart.

Might be worth trying to give it a bit of an undervolt - sometimes whine will manifest at specific frequencies and not at others.

If I have a setup in my case of two intake 140 mm fans and one exhaust 120 mm fan, would adding another exhaust 120 mm fan on the top of the case make a big difference in thermals? I am debating this because of the high temp output from my new 3080 card.

What's the advantage of doing this rather than listing the card at the actual price? I'm tempted to message these sellers and act deliberately obtuse and say "Sure I'll give you 400 for your 3070! "

I am debating this because of the high temp output from my new 3080 card. It really depends on the case, but maybe? It would potentially make it harder for gpu exhaust to recirculate, or for CPU exhaust to be pulled down by the GPU, which sometimes happens. You'll want the fan in the rearmost top position usually.

Sometimes when I'm playing video or a stream - I get weird disruptions to the picture. Almost like a bad signal to an old analog TV. Snow, black bars, etc, picture collapsing for half a second. I've only seen it appear during HDMI to TV use, but yesterday it continued after switching to my monitor. Does this sound like a GPU problem? I have an Asus TUF 3060 Ti. I ran the furmark gpu stress test for a while, and 3dmark, and didn't see anything abnormal. Normal score, normal temps.

TSMC's new AZ fab is shooting for mass production in 2024 I know that's only one example but it takes a long rear end time to build more capacity. I know covid's been blamed for shortages in this industry but I feel that we were going to be in this predicament regardless.

Do you have a spare PSU lying around to test with? Some games tend to spike power usage beyond synthetic tests.

Rinkles posted:You think there's any chance of prices coming back to normal within the next half year? No. I'm not a "prices will never be normal again" pessimist, but I don't think the gpu availability crisis will be solved within the next six months. Not even the hardware companies are saying this anymore, with Nvidia's CEO saying that they expect some shortages to last into 2023. Availability may see small improvements though, which will be conditional on the crypto market and how many GPUs Intel will manage to manufacture, as well as whether the global supply chain issues can be at least partially addressed.

I don't have any useful advice on addressing that issue, but I'm pretty sure it's not a power issue, at least. Those aren't the symptoms you see when there are power delivery issues. Especially if nothing bad happens during intensive stress tests.

Modern video signals are digital, so either the signal transmits the full uncorrupted signal, or you get no signal at all. A bad HDMI cable should never lead to those symptoms. The presence of video corruption indicates another problem elsewhere, and it sounds like it could be an issue with the GPU itself.

A defect in the video decoding part of the core? If you have another GPU you can test with, you can give that a shot. And do the standard procedure of reseating everything in your computer, ensuring everything is plugged in correctly, doing a clean driver reinstall and/or rollback. Though it sounds like an RMA could be in your future, unfortunately.

Is there a chance whatever you're streaming with (browser, desktop app, etc ) isn't using hardware acceleration? Maybe it's using your CPU instead of GPU. Could be why you're only having the issue during video playback. Even if it is something as simple as hw acceleration toggle, that wouldn't bode well for your CPU and I think you'd have other, glaring issues.
