it dont matter posted:Been having this annoying issue with windows recently - after exiting a game my desktop is not resizing itself correctly. Although my background and taskbar look normal, the right half (sometimes 2/3rds) of the screen isn't accessible. App windows won't go in there, my diagonistics sidebar tool is sat in the middle of the screen, and I can't left click in there either (although right click still works). Setting res in windows and nvidia control panel doesn't fix it. Have to log out/in to reset it. GTX 1070. Latest drivers. No idea what is causing the issue, but does pressing Win+ctrl+shift+B to reset the video driver temporarily fix your issue so you don't have to log in/out?

mysteryberto posted:I recall reading somewhere on Reddit that having the card mounted vertically interferes with the heat pipes, not sure if it's BS or not. Can you try your case with the card horizontal? Like others here, I also have/had this case and, no, it's not possible to mount the card horizontal. However, if the OP wants to upgrade their FT02/RV02 case... - AP183 fans (pwm control!): https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=847&bno=55&tb=101&area=en - new front/top panel /w USB-C: https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=868&area=en

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:yeah the card's not really designed for sitting vertically and it looks like your intake is at the bottom with maybe an inch of clearance at best? It's very slightly more than an inch of clearance between the floor and the fan intake. That case is still among the best CPU air cooling cases ever but has fallen to mid-range or a little above mid-range for GPU air cooling. It still provides more than enough airflow for a 3080.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:it looks like poo poo in all regards, but i guess you can bruteforce performance with 3x 180mm fans I mean, yeah, that was kinda the point. It still happens to do the brute forcing at lower volume levels than 90% of all other cases. It is also like a 10+ year old design. Once I can build a new system in an O11D-Mini, my FT02 will be turned into a media server to take advantage of all that drive bay space with direct cooling. Probably still the best non-rack case for that specific purpose.

LASER BEAM DREAM posted:For real though, if you're using a DAC I heartily recommend picking up a ground loop isolator. The electrical interference caused by a video card and poorly isolated motherboards can be annoying. If you hear discrepancies in your audio, especially when your GPU is under heavy load, check one out. I don't have ground loop isolators for my DACs (not even sure what that is, tbh), but I do make sure that my audio equipment have independent power sources so that they don't rely on the relatively unstable USB ports of my PCs for power.

As long as you clean up the excess that squeezees out the sides, there is no harm in using more paste. It doesn't cool worse.

PageMaster posted:What are safe GPU temp ranges? Stress testing my new system but don't have a benchmark for context. Furmark is showing 80C with fans at 73%. I understand I can get it lower through undervolting or higher fan speed, but I'm not chasing lowest temp possibles, especially if it's comes with higher noise or less performance; my goal is safe temps. Room temp is at 74 to 76 if that matters. A lot of posts online saying this is really high, but I feel like a lot of those are bragging or serious hardware min/maxers As long as you aren't throttling, I wouldn't worry about it.

Just change the fan curve and don't bother adding another fan, imo. Worst case, the fan will just kick in later. Probably a good idea to find at what temp it idles with no fan and start the fan curve like 5c above that. Assuming it idles under 50c, which it should.

Agreed posted:In real world usage I have never seen more VRAM used for DLSS than the same resolution at native. Seems like it couldn't be, almost, I mean it's upscaling - if it were more performance intensive wouldn't that rather defeat the point? It could just be a tradeoff of more memory usage for less processing usage. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case, tbh.
