Yea, since you game at 4k like I do, I’d hold off until there’s some PCIE 5.0 stuff available and/or DDR5 prices drop/normalize some more. There’s not much reason to upgrade for gaming unless you’re trying for 360fps at 1080p because you’re a weirdo.

@CastlevaniaNut18 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-core 16-thread Desktop Processor - 8 core and 16 threads - WWW.EBAY.COM AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-core 16-thread Desktop Processor - 8 core and 16 threads - 3.4 GHz- 4.5 GHz CPU Speed - 96MB Total Cache - PCIe 4.0 Ready - AMD 3D... Lowest price I’ve seen was only $10 less than this, but that was with a labor day sale coupon.

Gaming is basically the only reason I upgrade my PC, and I game at 4k. PCIE 5 will, eventually, be a reason to upgrade, whether for GPU bandwidth or NVME speeds, but as of right now, with a 5900x, I just don’t see a reason to pull the trigger. I’d argue anyone on a 5600x or better that primarily upgrades for gaming may be better off waiting a bit.

The biggest success of the GOP has been convincing the younger crowd that they’re vote doesn’t matter and “it’s all rigged anyway”

So, a single one off joke makes the entire episode reminiscent of Family Guy…?

Where are we putting general Trump things now?

Saying 2-4x for any of the cards is ridiculous since the 4090 is nowhere near 2x without DLSS. The 4080 12gb is likely on par with a 3090 non-TI. Based on that chart, without DLSS, I would argue that none of these are an actual generational leap and closer to the normal leaps we’ve been seeing since the 1000 series, though, I think we’ll have to wait for actual benchmarks and not bull charts.

If you’re interested… I may… know a way to watch DBS:SH now…

HDR on projectors is kinda weak sauce compared to TVs, though, right? Or has that changed? Mini LED 8k is kinda reasonably priced, like $5k for 85”. I haven’t kept up on how they compare to OLED, though

https://a.co/5to5YuH Here ya go, just a mere $15.5k

Ew, only 65”?

Also, the Jujutsu Kaisen movie finally comes out this week outside of theaters. (Seriously, F Japanese studios and this outdated 1+ year after theaters to bluray/streaming BS)

At 1440p the difference is closer to 20% most of the time. The only benches I recall where it was around 20% at 4k was like Doom Eternal where it was 215fps vs 245fps… and unless you’re into screen tearing you’re capping that at 120-144fps

There’s only a handful of games where this is achieved at 4k+. It’s typically closer to around 10%. The 4080 16gb is being stated as the same “gain” as the 4090, but over the 3080 Ti rather than the 3090 Ti, which are barely apart performance-wise (it’s less than the 3080 vs 3090… IIRC, it’s around 7-8%).

There’s about a 10-15% difference in framerate, pending the game, between the 3080 vs 3090 Ti

The connection itself seems poorly thought out. They should’ve made it a bit larger so it was more stable.

@stepee @Mr.Vic20 Looks like these ATX 3.0 to 2.0 adapters are kinda junk. 2.5 hours at full draw was supposedly causing melting, the pins for the 3.0 adapter also seem to be super sensitive.

I mean, KKK was sourcing their pillow case hoods from somewhere

I have a 1300w EVGA G2. I should be fine. should be

One thing I’m noticing is that even the 4090 looks like it only has a single 8pin connector in pics from both ASUS and MSI… this can’t be correct, can it? EDIT: wait, this may be a new/different power type? Looks like some supply a converter which takes four VGA 8 pins… (yea, it’s the new ATX 3.0 power type) EDIT2: BTW, I really like the RGB on my EVGA FTW3, looks like currently Galax has the best design to replace that

The thing that's worth noting, however, is that the 16gb 4080 is being compared with the 3080 Ti and is advertised as 2-4x faster, the 4090 is being advertised as 2-4x faster than the 3090 Ti. So, regardless of paper, if those comparisons are indeed true, then the 16gb is indeed a 4080 as the 3080 Ti and 3090 Ti are barely different in terms of in-game performance (the average at 4k is around 5% difference IIRC).

nVidia wants to purposely make this confusing for some reason. My guess is that the actual 4070 will be 8-10gb.
