But twitter scuttlebutt says they are receiving shipments, it's just they're immediately being nabbed by the staff. I know someone who works in a major one, this is patently false.

Of course they're laughing all the way to the bank anyway so whatever. I do like the possibility that this clusterfuck of a launch is just a ruse to get everyone thinking about RTX before AMD comes in and start actually competing again. AMD doesn't even have to nuke Nvidia but to just be actually competitive.

Before I moved my computer to the living room, I had like a 50ft hdmi cable run to my TV. If you use something like Ultramon, you can set up a keyboard shortcut that will change the main monitor, so you never have that secondary monitor issue. It always worked well.

apropos man posted:Currys/PC World have started pricing things reasonably I've noticed in the last year or so. I think they can still be a bit random on more obscure items but I remember when there used to be a laughable plebtax on RAM/GPU's. I got a new PSU from there and they had it at the cheapest price, even including amazon. But yeah it's the obscure and niche stuff that they lack. Like, I needed a SATA extension cable and my only option to get it quickly was Amazon. I miss maplins, they were good for random poo poo like that.

VorpalFish posted:When I played with this a few days ago it used a surprising amount of bandwidth. With the low bandwidth option set, restricting the models to like 5 and capping the polling to like 30-90 seconds I still got it to periodically hit exceeds on a 15m policer I set, so depending on your uplink you could well be dropping responses. That seems possible. I have uncapped symmetrical gigabit and I routinely burn a half TB or more in a day. I guess if you're on capped internet, definitely don't bother with this.

The point of a container is to avoid having to set up all that stuff because you're running the program with all the software it needs to run inside a little mini-VM that can but doesn't have to include a whole separate OS (otherwise it pulls various system calls from the host.)

Hm, so I might have a problem. In my haste to slambuy a 3080 I forgot that the MSI Gaming X Trio requires a whopping 3 PCI-E connectors. But the back of my current supply looks like this:  Does that mean I'd need to find another PSU also? If so maybe I'll cancel this order and look for one that only requires two.

Do your pcie cables have dual 8 pins? If so just connect one dual 8 pin to two of the power connectors on your card and a single cable to the remaining power connector. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-the-problem-pairing-seasonic-s12ii-620w-psu-with-gtx-1080ti.3173335/ B-Mac fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Oct 14, 2020 |

exquisite tea posted:Hm, so I might have a problem. In my haste to slambuy a 3080 I forgot that the MSI Gaming X Trio requires a whopping 3 PCI-E connectors. Depends, do the cables from the PSU labelled PCI-E have a single plug on each, or do they split to 2 plugs? The problems people were having with a single cable with daisy chained plugs was likely because the power limit was bumping against the absolute max draw for those connections, and having 2 separate channels for that made it so much more stable. Your 3 connector setup will not be drawing anywhere near the max draw for 3 connectors, so daisy chaining one of them would probably not be a significant issue.

I was thinking about a MSI Trio also, and the thought crossed my mind about the triple connector thing. I there an optimum way to power up the three? Like, use a splitter on Left and Middle sockets and leave the Right Hand Side on it's own cable? Or vice versa? Or splitter on Left and Right but Middle dedicated? Should we be THAT geeky about it?!

Couldn't figure out where the gently caress it was in my 800 tabs. Finally found it saying Zotac.com was selling them. Of course, it's actually impossible to buy anything on Zotac.com, you have to specifically know to go to store.zotac.com which took me a minute to figure out. Zotac Trinity 3080 is available for the sweet price of $950 (not a pricing mistake, Japan pricing just sucks) and a shipping estimate of 1-2 months on Amazon.co.jp if you wanna play the long game https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/GAMIN...02676302&sr=8-1

Theophany posted:Take the entire shaker of salt: Lol of course they anticipated the demand. Anyone could anticipate the demand. Everything from power supplies to gym equipment has been impossible to buy for the last year. Ok so you know there's gonna be insane demand, now what? You are entirely limited in what you can make to Samsung's 8nm production capacity and yields. You want to build on another process? Great. Months and millions of dollars to port the design but more importantly, where do you go? Tsmc 7nm? Good loving luck between amd, their own a100, even intel allegedly making stuff there. Apparently tsmc 5 belongs in its entirety to apple for the foreseeable future. Intel 10mm or 14++++/-^? Get hosed, they can't manage to produce enough to meet demand for their own product, they're not selling you capacity to make a product that they claim they will be competing with shortly. Tsmc or glofo 12? Probably room there but enjoy your 450w 3080. Like it's crazy that people need to invent these absolutely wild conspiracy theories when there is an incredibly simple explanation; global markets have been hosed for a year and there are very very few companies on the planet that can do advanced fabrication. You cannot just scale up production. So what do you do? Delay launch another 6 months while sitting on boatload of 3080s?

Zeta Acosta posted:noob question: The risk is instability, and every game has its own little quirks that pinch the GPU in different ways. Maybe automatic and hard to detect throttling to keep the card stable if you push voltage too far down, not sure how sophisticated Polaris was in that regard, it's pretty old school tech compared to recent Zens/Navi and Nvidias stuff. It's a time consuming trial&error process if you wanna get every last drop out of it. You can reduce the voltage for the top clock bracket to 1050mV no problem, maybe 1000 depending on silicon lottery. If you reduce clock just a little you can target sub 1000mV and run real efficient, overclocking 500's is a really bad move though. Just lower volts and raise power limit to max, if you did it right (and the cooling is up to snuff) the card will run flatline-stable at max clocks which is the ideal scenario.

Needless to say, planning and pricing my new build has been really depressing.

denereal visease posted:Try asking in the SFF Thread, lots of enthusiasm for the NR200 there. In general I'd avoid configurations that have you bottom mounting an aio radiator since you're both increasing the likelihood you suck in air bubbles and that the air will get stuck in the block. Imo vertical mounting the gpu makes a lot more sense if you're doing custom loop at least in the nr200.

If it the cards do all of a sudden do flood the market in Nov at 50 to 100 dollars above MSRP then you know he was right all along, no conspiracy tin foil hat needed. The fact that Nvidia has stopped FE sales already as he predicted in early September and the fact that other leakers having talked about the late October wave lends credence. I have not found independent verification of the supposed AIB rebate though.

I have not found independent verification of the supposed AIB rebate though. They didn't "stop FE sales," they just stopped trying to sell them directly on NVidia.com because their backend couldn't deal. FE cards are still available through BestBuy, and there was a decent-sized drop of them a week ago. e; the only card I'd be giving the side-eye at in terms of AIB rebates would be the ASUS TUF non-OC, which at $699 simply seems to be too good for its price. Everything else looks priced about right, and bumping everything by $50-$100 over existing prices as the "real" price would make no sense with the FE where it is.
