Assuming there aren't major shakeups in the next few months, what cards would people recommend for 1440p 60hz? I don't care about ray tracing. I'm just looking to see about what I should expect to budget if I decide to upgrade from my 1060 6GB. I saw some RX 6650XTs on pcpartpicker for $420 CAD, only $10 more than a 6600XT, but more than I'd like to pay.Shifty Pony posted:I would buy a GPU named Frank.

I mean it's 79% of the SMs and ~79% of the performance for (allegedly) 75% of the price. Only 70% of the memory bandwidth but that's not being hit in Nvidia's chosen tests. That's not a great value proposition even in a vacuum. We'll see what happens in a few months. Can nvidia out-wait the flood of 30 series cards and the impact of RDNA3? I kinda doubt it. Those prices are going to have to come down. unpronounceable posted:Assuming there aren't major shakeups in the next few months, what cards would people recommend for 1440p 60hz?

Don't go above a 3060 Ti at absolute most until after you've done that. You can wait for monitor holiday sales, there are always good ones.

Do we know exactly when they'll go up? Just want to figure out when to set my alarm, or if its literally like 9pm EST, or midnight PST... The Ampere launch was super telegraphed and I knew when to set my alarm. I admit I'm probably pretty PTSD from the 3080/90 launch experience.

I think the Nerd Speak discord had the alert up at around 6:34pm PST, I didn't put too much effort but the order managed to go through within 20-30 minutes, I was at least 15 minutes late to seeing the alert. Amazon is hassle free on returns so i'll hold out a little for an FE or the Asus TUF.

Lord Stimperor posted:About the 4090 and its scaling with power: I'm wondering when vendors start giving their cards a preset 'whisper mode' or something. If lowering the power target so far costs almost nothing, they might as well have given it a little software or hardware toggle where you can switch the tuning from 'whisper mode (280W, icy cool)' to 'turbo mode (500W, melting)'. I know that on the technical side, afterburner does that for you. But from a marketing perspective that would have gone a long way to emphasize that these cards are just very flexible in what they can do. a number of higher-end cards have a "dual-BIOS", which is a physical switch, usually located near the side of the power connectors (so you can reach it by just opening the side panel) that will switch between two... BIOSes in one aspect, this provides protection against a corrupted/bad BIOS - just move to the other one more importantly, these BIOSes are usually in the realm of "cool/quiet mode" versus "max performance/power mode"

I'm pretty excited not gonna lie. I've owned a lot of gpus, but this is the first highest end gpu I've ever bought on launch. And I'm just real excited to see if I can max out my VR stuff. Though it looks like the fe cards don't exist in China? Or I couldn't find one at least. Doesn't matter, got the tuf 4090 oc

Mother fucker, $1600 MSRP, probably going for more, and they COULDN'T loving BE ARSED TO PUT IN DP 2.0+?! I had already come to the conclusion that I would be buying a 4090... when the 50-series went on sale, but gently caress, dude. As someone whose eyesight was already trash, and is getting even worse as I work my way through middle age, and will be buying a 42-inch LG C2 or Samsung whatever TV and VESA mounting it to get a monitor with some actual loving real estate, the gently caress. edit: poo poo, the 42" C2 is down to 999.99 at Costco, I might be buying that before the year is out.

The current chatter is that there are basically zero consumer displays that will use it for the next 2 years, so unfortunately it seems more like VRLink at the moment: good idea, no uptake.

Palladium posted:im sure the marketing perspective is still 'our product is absolute poo poo if it can't beat the competitor card by 1% by all means necessary' gradenko_2000 posted:a number of higher-end cards have a "dual-BIOS", which is a physical switch, usually located near the side of the power connectors (so you can reach it by just opening the side panel) that will switch between two... BIOSes I didn't know of dual-BIOS cards before. I'm just looking at a few older benchmarks and some examples. The ones I find have that switch tucked away unobtrusively. You need to open the case and know what you're looking for in order to use it. That's not quite what I want. I'd want it as prominent and simple as the Turbo button on old computers. Computer getting loud? Press button into 'Cool' Mode. Frames slow? Press button into 'Turbo Mode'. Thinking from a manufacturer perspective: what would be advantageous is that with a dual bios, or a built-in one-click-profile-switcher, you'd get assigned two bars in every benchmark for the price of one. Your card can now appear on a favorable rank near the top of both the efficiency and the raw performance chart - that has to have a simplifying effect on your production. And think about the brand recognition - you could be the AiB with the turbo button. No one knows what differentiates Powercolor from Zotac and Palit. People know that EVGA had the warranty, Gigabyte the exploding PSU, and GoonSpeed is the one with the turbo button. How cool is that? But that stuff aside, I believe even with high-end cards there is a substantial subset of customers who either do not know that they can very easily fine-tune their card to their needs, or who don't want to bother with it. A nice, simple, and chunky "Turbo / Cool" button might be useful for them.

Seems like all the AIB cards have a bios toggle on the card from what I can tell, apparently the FE is pretty quiet already though.

https://twitter.com/XpeaGPU/status/1580024711072739329 I mean, we basically knew this was gonna happen so it's not really news, though the TDP is actually a little lower than expected if that's true. But as we've seen with the 4090, there's already decent amount of headroom within its 450W power envelope to push things further with higher-quality silicon. Add the rest of the AD102 die, and I can see it. We're ages from release, but I'm already calling it at $2500.

it makes sense if they're not willing to get too much crazier with the baseline TDP figure for the Ti, it's not like they really need to and it's already ridiculous enough as-is

I honestly don't really know how quickly the 4090 will sell out. I'm like 95% sure it'll be back in stock on a perpetual basis within a month or two even if it does instantly sell out now, but the performance is ridiculous enough that basically every single hardware whale in existence will be trying to get one day 1.

I am interested in a 4090 but not for 2400€ which is the street price in Finland. 1000-1400€ would be more "reasonable". It offers 2x the perf of my 760€ rtx 3080 for 3x the price. Not good enough. Jimms.fi has still like 50+ of 2400€+ 4090's on shelf so they aren't exactly being cleaned out.
