Here's the genius part of Nvidia certifying FreeSync monitors as Gsync Compatible:    They lose all AMD branding.

Yeah, I've yet to see anything labeled both "g-sync compatible" and "freesync". It's sketchy as hell, and has to be part of the partner agreement for "g-sync compatible" certification.

This is partly because everybody's just putting logos on VESA Adaptive Sync, which doesn't have a street team. FreeSync 2, like traditional GSync, has standards.

There have been so many lovely implementations of FreeSync that I can understand why some might want to flaunt the better brand. I think the set of people who have AMD cards, care about *sync, and don’t do detailed enough research to find the compatibility info is small enough to not bother complicating the copy for. It could of course be an AMD requirement about exclusive use that is backfiring on them.

theres a lot to be said for, mostly, being able to say "ok gsync, i know pretty much what im getting in that regard" vs "ok freesync, let me peruse the variety of common implementations, "

I think we already knew that was coming, but confirmation is always nice. 7nm should be pretty huge for NV, gain what like 30% performance on the process alone even if all they did was just straight die shrunk Turing? But you figure they also have other improvements in the pipelines. Can't wait for a GPU to make my 2080 Ti look like poo poo.

1440p high refresh rate and details in a card with 120W would be nice. Basically 2070 with 1060 power usage.

I'd love to have a new GPU for the upcoming bunch of AAA games this fall/winter, and to increase supersampling in VR, but 2020 seems kinda close (if it falls in a similar release window as Turing, i.e. Q1/20), especially with the rumours regarding the performance bump. I sure hope CP2077 and WD3 release end of Q1/20.

Going to try holding out for the Ampere ti card, but it will be hard to resist upgrading from this 1080ti to the x80 part.

Related to the post I made in the part-picking thread... I am building a system to record video from two 12MP cameras (4000x3000). I am wondering if an RTX card will allow us to encode both streams at once. Despite being a computer vision shop none of us know about video encoding. I'm trying to parse this chart and it seems the cards only have 1 nvenc but support max 2 sessions. Not sure what to make of that, e.g. if using 2 sessions reduces the max resolution or framerate that can be encoded. Anyone know this stuff and can point me in the right direction?

Correct, a RTX card should do that. I would think you'd be well within the media core's capacity as it's designed to run up to 32 streams in parallel, as far as I know there's no other capacity limiting except for the 2-stream limit. Or at least, jumping up to a Quadro wouldn't gain you anything if you're running out of media core throughput.

It's also trivial to find out how to flip the switch in the drivers that limits stream number on GTX/RTX cards. It's an artificial driver limitation meant for market segmentation.

Gyrotica posted:It's also trivial to find out how to flip the switch in the drivers that limits stream number on GTX/RTX cards. It's an artificial driver limitation meant for market segmentation. Oh, sweet. I didn't know anyone had managed to patch that out. Bummer there's no patch for the FreeBSD driver, but I guess I could screw around with passthrough to a virtualized Linux environment (it works, you just have to do some further trickery to keep the driver from seeing it's virtualized), or just rebuild and settle for ZFS on Linux. Also, my media server only takes single-slot cards, so I'd have to wait until Colorful gets that single-slot 1660 Ti out. Until then the Quadros are the only GPU that would physically fit anyway. (or, I'm finally moving to a place where I'd have a basement, I could just move everything to a server rack anyway and build it big, instead of SFF...) edit: actually I forgot my PSU on that rig doesn't have a PCIe power connector, so I'd have to rig something up with a splitter...

It's like 80/20 in new card sales, and essentially 100% market share at the high end that would be paired with a fancy monitor.

I still technically have my R507 cooler, but CPUs these days respond so much less to extreme cooling and all of the problems with condensation there's no point in using it. I had a 4 GHz P4 back in the time when the fastest CPU Intel sold was 3 GHz.

You can build them yourself for much cheaper, I spent about 400 building mine and if you want to go really cheap you can get a broken air conditioner to build from for even less, all it needs is the compressor to still work.

I remember this type of cooling system being used in the first commercially available 1 GHz system. Shortly after, a regular CPU achieving that clock was released.

Yup, pretty sure Prometeia made them for a long time, so did Asetek with their VapoChill units & they were on some of the P3/4 & Athlon XP systems. They were still ridiculously expensive even back then, doesn't shock me that companies still sell them for $1000+

ufarn posted:Ditching TSMC for Samsung, too I wonder if this is the public part of a behind the scene patent license between Samsung and nVidia. We know Samsung did a patent deal with AMD so their in house mobile GPU's would be covered, and signing a deal with nvidia for super discounted fab capacity would fit into that, as nvidia almost never discloses their licensing deals.

I'm disabled now so taking pictures is hard, but condensation is a real issue. What I used to do was pack the socket with dielectric grease to keep out any moisture. I used that cooler for about 2 years. I built mine into a horizontal case so the motherboard could lay flat. I wouldn't use it again because now the gains from super cooling are smaller and all of the side issues with going sub ambient. 5.5 GHz but there's a startup sequence and it could get killed any moment and it uses an extra 400 watts? It's just not worth it to me anymore.
