Stickman posted:Totally fine, but it’s generally not recommended to run PSUs past their warranty, since their relatively cheap and can take the rest of the computer with them if they fail. Does this really happen any more outside of getting a $5 one from Aliexpress? I thought the failure state for even cheap PSUs was just that they no longer function.

MagusDraco posted:The GTX 1660ti reviews dropped. It's pretty much a $280~ GTX 1070 in performance with 6 gigs of GDDR6 ram and no RTX features. The lack of competition for nvidia is really terrible. It's $100 cheaper than the comparable card that came out almost 3 years ago, but it still has 2GB less RAM.

B-Mac posted:https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-streaming/ From the nvidia link quote:Current GeForce GTX GPUs, 600-Series and newer with NVENC, will also see speedups with these optimizations. Seems like they mainly just let OBS use some stuff under the hood on NVENC to speed things up. Does anyone know if the newest Nvidia GPUs have improved quality at high bitrates for things like Steam Streaming? Probably 80% of what I play is done through a Steam Link on a GTX 970 these days, and sometimes it's noticeably worse looking on the link than on the PC itself, even at 30mbps/beautiful settings.

I'm pretty sure it's just bullshit marketing and they're not actually going to do any of that. They're trying to downplay the downsides to this with "we'll use math to fix it".

It would still look tone deaf considering every idiot corporation on the planet has sent out an email about covid 19 and how they're gonna help you keep spending money.

wolrah posted:My first power supply failure in 2004 took all the directly connected hardware with it. The cards survived but the motherboard and all of the disk drives were dead. My second one in 2011 took the motherboard, one hard disk, and the GPU. The first was the OEM power supply in a Pentium II era NEC desktop, the second was a 550w Thermaltake. Nothing super nice but common grade hardware. Yeah and it can happen even when the PSU is under warranty. Using the warranty as a guide to throw away a 6 year old PSU and generate more waste is pointless. edit: Also not sure that lumping in the late 90s bundled PSU in your anecdote says much.

kazmeyer posted:So I've been puttering along with a GTX 970 and a 1080p monitor for a while. Don't mind turning things down to get decent performance, but I'm finally starting to hit a wall. Installed Assassin's Creed Origin and went to the Geforce Experience thing and it basically turned everything off that it could. Game's playable, but a lot of the textures look pretty bad. In one of the cutscenes my dude kind of looked like he was made out of Gumby clay. AC: Origins especially is rough on systems. It cares more about CPU cores than anything else, so hopefully you at least have a 6 core processor. Try turning the texture settings up a bit to medium or high to make it look nicer. The game doesn't actually use that much VRAM.

3DP and 1 HDMI has been standard for a while. You might be able to buy cheaper passive adapters though, as long as the GPUs will support dual-mode on the DisplayPort connections. Although if you have 3 monitors, one of them will probably need to be on another GPU or on an active adapter.

DrDork posted:I don't think so. There was a firmware update for Pascal cards for DP 1.3/1.4 to fix a few issues, but I don't think it actually upgraded the version. Similarly, I would be real surprised if Ampere launched with DP 1.4a and then later "unlocked" DP 2.0, especially considering 1.4a and 2.0 use a different encoding scheme, rather than just some feature flags. There was an update for a bunch of nvidia GPUs that were originally 1.2 that made them support 1.3/1.4. Went all the way back to the 7xx series. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ Like you said though, DP 2.0 is a lot more of an update than 1.4 was.
