what the heck does asic mean in this context? I might be dumb, but I don't see how 'application specific ic' fits into that context.

 that's a wierd as gently caress way of using it, then. Why not just refer to the jitter or something?

My only issue with Nvidia Inspector's multi display power saving thing is it holds the clock down no matter what. When I play games I get poo poo frame rates with it on.

DrDork posted:Hence step 2 in my solution: on the Multi Display Power Saver window, select Activate Full 3D by GPU Usage and set the threshold to something like 20-25%. That should fix it for you. Ohhhh yeah there's my problem... I'm a dummy

and no one notices unless they bother to look at some sort of monitoring program, which I have to imagine is some pretty small percentage of their market base.
Panty Saluter posted:Newegg I am somewhat suspicious of your claims. Mostly because I've been running happily on 450W for a while now Haha, yeah my system draws 275W at the absolute max from the wall and it is an OC'ed 970 AND i7-4790k to 4.7G. 500W would be perfect to take advantage of the efficiency maxima at 50% load.

My 970, OC'd to almost 1500mhz, and a 4790k oc'd to 4.6ghz pull 280W max from the wall running at full tilt.

To be fair, if absolute price/perf were the chief metric everyone went by, we'd all be getting a 750ti or 950.

I have the asus one and it works just fine (overclocked to 1450mhz even), though it is loud. My case isn't a soundproofing one, though.

Idk what you guys are doing but I have almost everything maxed on a 970 oced to 1450 and it runs 45-60 just fine. I even have fancy hair turned on. I suspect if I turned shadows down a tad I could get 50-60

Yeah I just dusted my computer today, and a very light coating dusted off translated to 10 degrees C cooler temperatures for both GPU and CPU under load, and sub 30C idle! It's insane what a little dust can do.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Intel's production capacity is for Intel. That is not going to change any time in the near or foreseeable future. Their fabs are something they guard very jealously, when realistically the only other company out there that's as vertically integrated as they are from design to end product is Samsung. It's funny, I was interviewing for samsung a few weeks ago and one thing they really wanted to hype up was how superior they were to Intel, process and fab-wise.

Yeah, one of the managers I was talking to was quite certain that Intel's was 16nm, which for all I know it could be and they just call it 14nm (which is really more of an academic difference I would think).

THE DOG HOUSE posted:Yeah and they aren't even saying that I would guess. They being Samsung the company. What a hiring manager says to someone is definitely not representative of what the company would actually say in public, it would be a stretch to even consider it marketing. Every company is the best at everything, just about to take over the competition any day now *wink!*, and a really great place to get in now before it blows up - when you're in an interview lol. Haha, yeah it was in a big presentation they gave to all of us who were interviewing.

So it is, though I don't know enough about PCIE to know whether two cards can share the jtag, smbus and wake reactivation pins like that...

Craptacular! posted:Newegg had an Asus 960 for $160. I'm limping along with an Asus 660 with factory OC and have for three years, going from playing Bioshock Infinite at ultra settings in 2013, to playing Overwatch in above-medium, GTA at medium, and Doom at downright ugly. I have an overclocked 970 and I run doom on the highest settings it lets me do at 1920x1200 with almost constant 60 fps. Sometimes it dips below it, but only for a second here and there.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Ashes *is* a bad benchmark Part of the game's claim to fame is that poo poo is procedurally generated every time you play it. Last I heard, this also extended to the benchmark as well. And if there's one thing that you absolutely don't want when benchmarking things, it's a random seed changing itself from run to run. Even if the seed is exactly identical every time the benchmark is run, we're still just supposed to take their word that the result should be the same, regardless of hardware? Please. Thats what multiple trials are for! Assuming an even distribution of random seeds mapped to scene complexity, statistically speaking you are more likely to get more varied results than just seeds that get you complex scenes every time.

I succumbed to impulse and bought a EVGA 1070 SC. I'm a bit bummed that it can only overclock up to 2050 at the absolute max, but its still drat good. Since I only have one, 1200p monitor, I also went ahead and bought a crossover 2795 and a monitor arm. I was very tempted to buy a x34, but I have spent waaay too much money in the past couple months and while my new credit card is interest free until september of next year, I don't NEED that fancy a monitor lol.

Of course overclocking 10x0 is silicon lottery; it's a brand new process node. It's nowhere near the 95+% yields of 28 nm (probably more like 75-85%), and you can bet the good bins are all drat good, rather than good bins just barely squeaking in spec for 16. For newer nodes, all of the kinks haven't been worked out, nor have there been anywhere near as many awesome power or judder/swing reduction developments. You need another few years to get back to that point, especially with finfets.

Fauxtool posted:I just found out that you can lease enthusiast GPUs. It seems about as good an idea as renting rims. You are locked into a 12 month contract and you still pay the same monthly rate even when the value of the card inevitably suffers many price cuts. You can make a 13th payment at the end to buy the card. Welcome to Rent-a-Center

Wouldn't 110 be, you know, worse than 108? Itd be like 1120 poo poo tier. And i think that 14nm for the next gen is mixing rumors up......

PBCrunch posted:It seems a lot more likely that Nvidia would move low-power stuff like Tegra over to Samsung. Well to be perfectly fair, glofo might be loving up the process somehow or Polaris' design is flawed or something and can't get the speeds they want. I don't understand the physics well enough, but I can't see how whatever ln14lpcdwhateverthefuck wouldn't work for "high power" stuff unless they aren't giving enough fins for the transistors to carry current well enough (which makes me wonder if there is a fin difference between tsmc/Intel and samsung) or tsmc has an awesome process tech that allows that much current and/or improves rise/fall times a ton.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Nope. This is apparently a separate fab contract from the ones with TSMC (for Bristol Ridge) and Global Foundries. I was wondering if that was what you were referring to. All that is really saying is that they have the option, due to the licensing agreement between samsung and glofo ensuring easy compatibility. Now, I'm sure they've run a few test lots through giheung and/or austin to make sure it can translate, but I really don't think there's anything more concrete.
