For what it's worth I run a 1080 on a 1440p (not as many pixels as an ultrawide still) and with Witcher 3 I have everything turned on except motion blur. I'm sure my frames drop with a pack of wolves all getting the full hairworks treatment, but I've never noticed with G-sync.

spasticColon posted:One or both of the fans on my EVGA 1070 make a slight humming or buzzing sound when they spin up after I start playing a game and make that sound again after I quit playing a game and the fans spin back down. Should I be worried? I blew the dust out of my computer just over a month ago and even though the video card HSF still looked pretty clean I hit it with some compressed air anyway. The card tops out at ~68C under load so I'm assuming both fans are still working. Yeah that appears to be an EVGA thing (tm). Dont worry about it though unless you hear it outside of those exact conditions.

Doesn't this kind of push out Nvidia's 7nm release to late 2019? They seem extremely confident AMD can't touch them with GloFo/IBM 7nm, otherwise that's months of AMD, even with a worse perf/watt per node, beating Nvidia. Jesus Navi must be a dumpster fire.

Palit unfortunately, think it was only 2 year warranty, and I've had it since 2014. Perfect excuse for a 1080 ti upgrade though

At least by that time Zen refresh should be out, not like I have money set aside for a new build burning a hole in my pocket or anything.

onesixtwo posted:Anyone with a 3440x1440 monitor have experience with using a gtx 1080? I know the resolution is pretty demanding, but I'm looking to hopefully upgrade from my 970 if there is a notable change. I'd like to avoid the extra $200 for a 1080 ti if the 1080 works well for other 3440x1440 users. With it being black friday / cyber monday coming up, I figured I should start watching for prices to drop. I run that res on a 1080 and it can do 100FPS pretty easily in almost every game with everything (or nearly everything) maxed out. The next gen probably won't be available until late second quarter next year. Don't know if you can or would want to wait that long. We don't know what kind of increases they will bring either.

Does the RX 580 perform better than the GTX 1060 when it comes to Direct X 12 games? I'm leaning towards getting a GTX 1060, but so far there haven't been any good sales on them and the RX 580 has gone on sale twice now for a decent price (considering the mining craze).

So I did some monitoring overnight with a kill-a-watt and when my computer is left to its own devices wtih nicehash, it generates 0.5 kWh, which unfortunately means I would not be turning a profit even with a 1080ti. Energy in San Diego is ridiculously expensive at $0.22 per kWh up to 339 kWh and then $0.40 per kWh after that. So at my current rates of mining I would be barely making cents to the dollar and then after I hit the kWh threshold I would be actively losing money. Disappointing. gently caress private power companies.

Are you using +150/+500 with 65% TDP? Otherwise the draw numbers are crap

That seems high even at 100% TDP since the card would only be using 250W, are you CPU mining as well?

Some DX12 games favor Nvidia and some favor AMD, you should really just look for benchmarks for the games you are interested in because so far there is no clear winner when it comes to DX12. AMD's stuff does have more potential to be faster in DX12/Vulkan, but taking advantage of that potential is the job of the developers and in practice that can be a real mixed bag.

Yes at $0.22 per kWh you're barely breaking even on say a 500 watt use case, and at $0.40 you're losing a lot. Though 500 watts is a bit high these days, at those prices you're pretty much screwed if you hit the second tier.

You're supposed to use a tool like MSI Afterburner, and create a profile that speeds up your core clock +150mhz, memory +500mhz, and sets your power limit to 65% to reduce power consumption. That was to make mining more efficient, however your power costs are... not profitable.

Stanley Pain posted:Holy crap your power costs are ridiculous. I'm sorry. I have a tiered system here as well but it starts at 0.077. Are those all in? I'm also in SoCal, and there are costs for both generation and delivery, plus a per day fee just for being plugged into the grid. All in, my costs are 17.4c a kwh in the lowest usage tier. The middle tier bumps it up to 26c, and the high tier is 33c. Should also note that due to low usage, I get a CA usage credit that essentially wipes out my bill. My last bill was 9 cents. Course if you were doing heavy coin mining (lol), you probably wouldnt be in the running for that.

thinking of upgrading my gtx1050, and I am looking at some of these black friday deals, and I can't tell if they are good deals or not. Is a GTX 1060 6gb at 239 a decent price? or the 3gb version at 179?

That's MRSP and slightly below MSRP. Upgrading within the same generation is usually disappointing unless your financial situation changed and you can go from the 1050 to like the 1080.

Well, pleasant surprise when I powered on my PC this morning. GeForce Experience told me I had a free key for PUBG to redeem. Been interested in trying it but haven't cared to buy it so getting it free was great. (It is also tied to GE and Steam, no key was shown just like GPU bundled games now.) Thanks Nvidia!

3gb will mean you will need to run low-med textures for some newish games. When you consider you can basically flip from low to ultra textures at nearly no performance hit, it doesn't make sense to save the money. You can lower all the other settings to improve fps but still keep great looking textures so your game doesn't look like CS1.6

I posted how 280/280X/7950/7970 cards used a weird gap for the stock cooler a couple days ago. With the gap you can only used special one-off aftermarket coolers with those cards, unless you bought a shim. Well I just found the EK copper shim I bought for my old 280X (and never ended up using). If anyone wants it send me a PM with an address and I'll send it off in the mail. First PM gets it. Doesn't feel right throwing it out since they were a very limited run, but I can't use it for anything.

Those are the sort of cool designs HBM makes possible. Occasionally other manufacturers have tried making PCBs with cutouts to try to move more air, but having no PCB at all is the best. Then blocking it with a back plate I don't know what they're doing, but backplates are easy to remove. It's probably because there was a wave of people excited about back plates because they care more about how their cards look than silence and performance.

Are there any manfacturers to be wary of for the 1050Ti? EVGA and MSI I've had cards from in the past that served me just fine for the 2-3 years I've had them, but I know quality can change a lot over that sort of time.

Nvidia has minimum PCB standards everyone has to meet. About the only thing they can go cheap on is the heatsink and fans, as long as you don't get a mini one the 1050 puts out so little heat that's never going to be an issue either.
