I just put my 1070 in this evening and I've been liking what I'm seeing performance wise. Right now I'm running at 1920x1080 and the card is handling everything I throw at it. My 3DMark score on Fire Strike is more than twice that on the 960. 15234 vs 7087. The card only got up to 73°C with the fan on auto and hitting 30%. When I manually set the fans to 50% the card barely hit 60°C on Fire Strike. According to GPU-Z the max power consumption the card got to during the first run was 96.2% TDP.

I was lucky enough to get an EVGA RTX 3060 XC this week from their waitlist. Nice card and a decent upgrade over my old 1070. One word of caution is that the DisplayPort connectors are closer together. The cables I had been using for years on the 1070 had connectors that were 22mm wide. They wouldn't fit side-by-side on the 3060. Luckily I had a pair of cables with connectors that were 21mm wide and they work without issue.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:? vacuuming at all near circuitry is asking for static electricity and shorts I take mine outside and blow it out with the air compressor. I take care to hold the fans when I do. Never had a problem with that. Years ago a friend's computer was quite dusty inside and we took it into his garage to use the shop vac on it. I think there was a loose screw floating around the case that found a new home. When we hooked everything back up and hit the power button there was a crackling. I know the MB was fried. PSU was okay and I think the drives were okay too. He at least got a new machine that was a lot faster.

This week I upgraded from a 3060 to a 3070 and do not regret it one bit. The 3060 was a decent enough upgrade from a 1070, but it felt like the 3070 was a similar jump from the 3060. Both cards do well with what I was throwing at them, but the 3070 is noticeably faster in the benchmarks I've run on it. Both cards are two fan cards, but the 3070 has a larger heat sink and deals with temps a lot better. I always felt like the 3060 was running a little too hot for what it was doing. I hit the high 70s in the Civilization VI graphic benchmark with it when the 3070 barely gets to 70. Same case for both with two 140mm fans pulling air in from the front blowing at the CPU and GPU.

The 3060Ti is a good card. This was just a stock 3060. If I had gotten 3060Ti in the first place, I'd be less likely to have gone for the 3070.

I remember getting two Canopus Pure3D II cards in 1998 to SLI them. The Canopus card was just 3D so you ran a pass-through from your 2D card into it and then the Pure3D to your monitor. It looked like crap(interlaced) so I did that for a little while and regretted spending that much on two cards. A single card was just fine so I ran with that. I think I sold the other one to a friend at a loss. When I finally got a TNT2 I was so glad to have a 2D and 3D card all-in-one. I had the TNT2 until I got Giants: Citizen Kabuto and the TNT2 didn't have enough memory so only rendered half the textures. I got a GeForce 2 and then went to a Radeon X800 GTO that I flashed to unlock it and make it slightly better card. I went back to NVidia after that.

I had CRTs up until early 2010. Had a smaller 4:3 LCD at work for a few years before that and would go home to my 17" flat CRT and hated how blurry it looked. When I got a LCD at home it was a game changer and I couldn't stand to watch anything on the regular TVs anymore. Later that year I got a 40" LCD TV and found someone who wanted my 26" CRT TV and was happy to part with it. I would never want to go back to a CRT that gets blurrier as time goes on. I do miss the degaussing sound. Recordings don't do it justice.

I get pain in my wrist & thumb when I use the Switch in handheld mode after a modest amount of time. Maybe the Steam Deck is more ergonomically formed, but I'd still prefer if you could detach the controllers and use them like a gamepad. I would hope you can bind a controller to it. It doesn't have a kickstand though so you'd have to prop it up or use it in a dock.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:toms hardware and hardware unboxed have both been tracking ebay prices. I casually check in every so often too, and the price decline that may have been happening a couple months ago has long since stalled and it has stayed that way. There was actually a dip in prices right after that huge Best Buy FE drop with a lot of 3080s going for $1300 or less, but that dip has ended and we're back to most 3080s being sold in the $1500 range, with a bunch that are going for higher prices and only a small handful of lower-priced sales. Basically, it's right where it's been for most of these last two or three months. I recently sold my 3060 on ebay for way more than it was worth. I think having the KR in the model instead of KL helped. Its id is 2504. Double edged sword for miners buying all the cards, but also being greedy and dumb.

That was with the Precision X1 on the EVGA running with one of the quieter profiles and the Asus with 0dB turned off with whatever fan profile it uses.

Listerine posted:I asked about UPS in the PC parts thread but never got an answer, maybe one of you guys can help me. You could probably find a power calculator and guess about how much you'd be drawing based on the cards you want to add. Like a pretty beefy Intel machine with two 3080s would be like 950 watts when maxed out. I don't know what the Cyberpower does when going over the wattage. I know my APC was beeping like crazy when I was pulling about 400 watts on a UPS that maxed out at 360 watts. Edit: This was while the UPS was on AC power. On battery it probably would have shut down immediately, but overall it probably wasn't good for the electronics. That was when I upgraded to a i7-11700k with a 3060 and was running the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark. I upgraded to a Cyberpower GX1500U that does 900W and going by the wattage usage on it, the most I use is about 500 watts when I have the 3070 running the same benchmark. Normal gaming isn't as taxing as the benchmark, but I have no idea what type of power draw you'll see if you're using the cards for rendering.

Before the first bid, I was getting shady emails from people who were offering me more than my Buy Now price if I'd end the auction and sell it to them directly. As soon as the first bid came in those stopped. When I finally sold it, I recorded the whole boxing process and took pictures just in case. The person I sold it to had a good account history and was pleasant to deal with and had no issues.

I've been running 497.29 since it came out and haven't had any issues with it or the previous few revisions. This is with Windows 11 and an Asus 3070. I upgraded my wife's machine to 497.29 the same day and a few days later it was having what I thought were driver issues, but it seems to be her 1660 is dying. Walked in to the computer room Thursday morning and her machine was sitting at the recovery console. Tried restarting windows and was getting a variety of BSOD messages. kmode exception not handled system thread exception not handled kernel auto boost invalid lock release apc_index_mismatch Took the card out of the computer and everything is running fine. If I put the card back in the computer and even trying to boot to a USB stick will get me a BSOD error. This is on a recently built computer, but her old PC was a bit quirky at times and looking back on it, it seems the GPU was the likely culprit. Luckily it's still under warranty so I'll email EVGA next week.

It's an EVGA 750 G2 that's 6 years old. It's still under warranty, but I went ahead and bought a Corsair RM750x(2021) to replace it anyhow. I took the card and put it in her old machine and it booted without a problem. Updated the drivers to 497.29 just to see if that broke it, but it still worked fine. Ran Heaven for about 20 minutes without issue. At least I'll find out on Wednesday if that was the issue, if not I'll do some more trouble shooting.

Replaced the 6-year-old PSU in my wife's computer today and that seemed to be the culprit with the BSODs when the 1660 was hooked up. I'm assuming it wasn't supplying enough power on the PCIe connector and that's what was causing the problem. It's still under warranty from EVGA so I'll see about doing an RMA so I have a spare.

BurritoJustice posted:Nah, just board partners being crazy with oc card power limits. The 3090Ti Kingpin has two PCIe 5.0 16-pin connectors, so a theoretical limit of 600W+600W+75W=1275W 12v. You'll likely need to flash the LN2 bios anyway. Speaking of flashing the BIOS for more power. I got a laugh out of the EVGA forums where someone was asking about flashing their 3080Ti's BIOS so it could draw 13 more watts of power because they're obsessed with increasing the performance by 5%. Not sure how they think that'll all work.

I don't see asus listing a 4070 super ti dual on their website right now, but does anyone know if there's a chance they're gonna make one? I don't believe there was a non-Super Dual 4070 Ti . For the Dual all I'm seeing is:
I'm planning to go with a TUF 4070 Ti Super myself because I'm bad with money. Seriously though, I would probably go with a Dual if it was available in Ti, but I do like the RGB on the TUF. My current Asus 3070 has it and I have it set up to go Green/Yellow/Red depending on the temp and it's nice to just glance at the case and see what it's doing when I'm gaming.

I got my ASUS TUF 4070 Ti Super tonight and got it installed without any issues. It's huge compared to the ASUS KO 3070 that I had in there before, but it fit in my Fractal Meshify 2 Compact without any issues. I have a Corsair RM850x PSU and ended up getting the Corsair 12VHPWR cable for it so I didn't have to use the adapter and had a straight run to the PSU. It runs cooler than the old card, which I didn't think ran warm. TimeSpy the old card's average temp was 69°C and the new card's average temp is 57°C. Even right now I had the fans running and the car was 28°C and when I turned them off it slowly crept up to 33°C over 5 minutes. The new card has a 3DMark score 57.5% higher than the old card. All the other hardware in the system is the same. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it and look to keep this for a few years.

pmchem posted:how much distance are you all giving your 4xxxx series 12VPWR connectors before letting the cables bend inside the case? I went with the individually sleeved cables from Corsair and they were the easiest to work with in my situation with the Asus TUF 4070 Ti Super.  I triple checked to make sure that connector was seated all the way. I may redo this in the future, but I'm okay with it for now. The cable is coming straight out from the connecter and then make that turn without putting strain on the connector the way it's routing. The 3 cables on the right are USB cables that had to go over the end of the card so there wasn't strain on MB connector. When I had the 3070 it didn't extend out that far and the cables were just free to do their own thing. All in all, I'm super happy with the card. It's super fast and runs super cool. I have it in 0dB mode and just normal web stuff(like posting right now) it hangs around 39°C. Runs way cooler than the 3070 when gaming too.

With the connector talk. ASUS announced their BTF line that uses PCIe high power connector on the GPU with the slot on the MB. Interesting idea, but a lot more companies would have to start doing the same thing. Right now that line is just future e-waste. https://www.asus.com/content/btf-hidden-connector-design/ I saw some stuff a few years ago talking about how that connector might be the way to go in the future as cards required more power, but that's the first MB/GPU combo to use it.

Newegg just posted the two Gigabyte models in stock, they rank 3rd (at least the one I'm linking here) in quiet/cooling and are only beat by the ASUS TUF and STRIX (which can reportedly have frequent coil whine). Apparently Gigabyte has never had an issue with it. I can verify the coil whine with the TUF 4070 Ti Super. It's more like a faint hiss, but it's more pronounced if I have the monitor refresh set higher. This is only when gaming. Normal desktop usage it's dead quiet. It's not that bad compared to other cards I've had. My old EVGA 1070 was pretty bad when it whined. It sounded like a piezo speaker, but would only happen on first boot if the computer was off for a little while. If you powered down then immediately restarted it would go away and not come back until the next down time. Turmoil fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:The PSU seems unlikely to be the problem. Typically, an under-spec or malfunctioning PSU will just cause a complete loss of power, not application or driver crashing. Not necessarily, but I did want to at least rule that out. Given the age and wattage of the PSU it shouldn't be a problem. I had reused a 750 watt EVGA PSU in a machine a few years ago not really thinking it was that old(turns out it was 7 years old) and there was a lot of weird things that would go on with that machine. There were sporadic issues with applications having DLL errors when a few months prior they worked without issue. Windows update could not complete an update on the machine. It would download, install, then during the reboot when it was finishing the update it would fail and roll back. I was about to reinstall Windows on the machine thinking it was just something corrupted causing the issues and decided to swap the PSU and all the issues went away. Luckily the first PSU was under warranty and I got it swapped out and I just keep it as a spare.
