Subjunctive posted:I've been having a problem lately where after I play Cyberpunk, FFXIV is janky until I reboot (even though it says it's running at 60fps, so maybe a frame pacing issue?). And then GeForce Experience couldn't install the new drivers after I played Cyberpunk, until I rebooted. Are you running multiple monitors?

The other day my second monitor was running at 59.5 for some reason. I had to switch it back to 60. I have no idea why or how that happened.

Subjunctive posted:Yeah, both at 120Hz. I’ve been doing that for a long time, though! It's a shot in the dark and entirely based on my own anecdotal experience with my own weird setup, but I was getting weird stuff unless I disabled the second monitor in the Nvidia control panel. I don't have as much use for the second panel when I'm gaming, so haven't done more thorough troubleshooting, but what I was seeing was reduced framerate and a little stuttering. My second monitor is an off-brand 11" touchscreen panel, though, so I have another level of complexity going on.

AMD prices continue to fall at a pretty good clip. ASRock Challenger 6600 XT for $250 after promo code, and Asus Dual 6600 for $210. The 6700 XT is now reaching the mid 300s too and the 6800 XT may breach $500 any day now. I'm hopeful this is a sign that RDNA3 will be affordable as well. Nvidia is desperately trying to keep prices as high as possible while AMD is aggressively discounting cards to undercut the competition.

That's a whole £500 less than retailers were asking for the 4090! Amazing savings! Anyway I'm still 100% expecting AMD to just put their prices slightly under Nvidia's thinking they can cash in the same way, If that happens I'd 100% just get a 6700XT/6800XT instead as their prices continue to fall. I'd love to be wrong though but I'd be surprised if AMD announce a card for under $700 on Thursday.

I don't think anyone expects it to be on par with the 40 series as they are now, but those are so stupidly overpowered that it doesn't need to be. If they can be a decent bump in raster performance over the 6000 cards while improving the ray tracing side of things I think that'll be enough so long as they're sensibly priced. The most recent thing though is a leaker saying there's going to be a new XTX tier of cards alongside the existing XT class, so AMD's getting high on that side of things at least.

If AMD can get RT performance equal to or better than 30 series, with improvements to raster, I might be moving to a full AMD build and giving my boyfriend my 3080.

There's apparently at least 3 versions of the Nvidia 12VHPWR adapter floating around * Igor's version, worse soldering pattern with 150V-rated cables * Paul's Hardware's version, worse soldering pattern with 300V cables * Gamers Nexus' version, better soldering pattern with 300V cables   (you can see the 300V on the cable in the PH video) Wonder if the melting is due to some Nvidia supplier using poo poo manufacturing quality to cut costs and Nvidia QC not noticing it

I thought about buying a video card but then I tried one of these GPU VM services and I can now play poo poo like Rdr 2 4k @ 60fps ultra for $1/hr. With how little I actually game Nvidia can eat my rear end with these prices. At least until there's a card that will handle at least that for $400 or less

With how little I actually game Nvidia can eat my rear end with these prices. who do you think profited off the card you are renting for $1/hr? There's only 2 choices. I think streaming services are a fantastic option for people who don't want to own a gaming PC. Suspect that the people who make hardware and cloud racks see them as a fantastic opportunity to get revenue from their hardware from people who aren't willing to buy it retail, so I don't think anyone is eating your rear end as much as "profiting off you very slightly, but over an extended timeframe". And you're paying whatever GPU VM provider you're using, as well. Seems like a win-win for all parties? I definitely don't game enough anymore to justify having bleeding edge everything, but I also probably will just keep doing that as long as life circumstances allow. The twice a month I find time to do VR cars make it worth it, maybe.

does the 150v/300v distinction actually matter for this application? they're only putting 12v through the cables, surely the amp rating is what actually matters

repiv posted:does the 150v/300v distinction actually matter for this application? they're only putting 12v through the cables, surely the amp rating is what actually matters Yeah, the voltage rating is for the insulation not the wire. More volts requires thicker insulation since it is easier for the electricity to jump air gaps. More amps requires thicker wire since the internal resistance generates more heat with them. The amount of watts that can be moved over the wire is a combination of volts and amps.

repiv posted:3x Gigabyte Thanks brother. Interesting times indeed... I would expect an official response / proposed resolution sometime early next week. Anyone have a guess for how they'll resolve this? Logistically it's going to be a little weird, and frankly, situations like this probably make Nvidia push even more aggressively towards dropping AIBs. Vertically aligning the entire stack is so appealing in situations like this. They could just queue up the shipping information of everyone with a 4090 and push them a new cable, and allow no question asked RMA for burnt connectros, problem 99% solved. I would bet money that AIBs will either cease to exist, or effectively cease to exist in the sense that Nvidia provides all or most of the components by the 50xx series or at latest 60xx. Nvidia wants to be Apple, it couldn't be any more clear. That has a lot of unfortunate implications for basically, well, everyone.

Does the peanut gallery think it'll be somewhat competitive with the Geforce 40xx series? rumour is that Navi 31 is reaching 2x 6900XT (maybe 6950XT) in synthetic raster benchmarks, just like 4090 reached 2x 3090 Ti in similar benchmarks, so raster performance should be fairly competitive with the 4090 at least, with a lower TDP too. the real questions are just raytracing and price. the raytracing will be better than last gen, but how much better? as good as the 30 series, or better? will they just barely undercut Nvidia's absurd prices or price very aggressively?

With how little I actually game Nvidia can eat my rear end with these prices. At least until there's a card that will handle at least that for $400 or less I was pretty impressed with GeForce Now, but that kind of is the opposite of having Nvidia eat your rear end. The Achilles heel of game streaming services is that you really need fast, reliable Internet, and that seriously undercuts one of the main use-cases I was considering it for - using my graphically-underpowered laptop for gaming while away from home. This is partly a regional thing, and if they ever roll out decent 5G service in my area then it might be a little more workable. That it also uses a poo poo-ton of data means that hitting data caps becomes more of an issue.
