Factory Factory posted:AnandTech has a cool article up about using Thunderbolt and Virtu i-Mode together on a Wintel platform. Windows Thunderbolt isn't fully mature just yet (missing hot-add after boot, though it has hot-remove), but basically poo poo just works. I doubt you'll see hotswapable thunderbolt much. eSATA isn't hotswapable either and desktop PCs can take the removal of hard drives better than PCIe cards.

movax posted:I effortposted about PCIe hotplug in the Intel thread, here. SATA hotplug is a different (easier) game though, that's almost entirely on the OS drivers-side. Not too much needed from BIOS. I saw that in the other thread. Kind of kills my hopes for controlling 10k fps cameras from a MBA but I'll still try it... I must just have terrible luck with eSATA drivers... last time I tried hotswapping I just got a BSOD.

Wouldn't you need to buy a Quadro card to see any kind of performance for double precision? I thought the consumer cards were essentially constrained to single precision floats for sales purposes (similar to OpenGL performance and CAD).

HalloKitty posted:2GB is a healthy enough amount, but how on earth did they require 1GB for the OS? Isn't the the Xbox 360 OS limited to 16MB? I imagine that is OS managed memory and the other 1GB is what you can fill from your own malloc calls. Unfortunately Nintendo has some pretty restrictive NDAs so that kind of stuff isn't usually public for their consoles.

Boten Anna posted:One thing I found interesting about the hfr hobbit is that it seemed to make it more obvious when they sped up the raw footage. The beginning of the movie went back and forth with sped up and actual speed footage fairly often, and I suspect that some people conflated the awkwardness of sped up footage with hfr. If thats the case then that is what the real problem is. As another anecdote, a lot of headaches in 3d movies are caused by improper viewports and impossible geometries caused by it. More recent 3d films don't have these issues as much, but early 3d films had it everywhere.

Are the 20xx cards actually going to crash in price? It looks like a 2070 should be able to handle 1080p+rt in watchdogs and cyberpunk but 2070s are still more expensive than a 3070 will be in 2 weeks. Nevermind that that 3070 is going to outperform a 2080ti which are still like $800

Fauxtool posted:OW1 at 1440p with all settings maxed, 100% render scale, still dips below 141 fps on my 3080 paired with a 3900x. There’s a reason why pros play on the lowest settings on the highest end hardware. Sure the skipped frames may only be 0.1% of the time but that’s when things are the craziest.

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:So, even if AMD can't compete at the very highest end for raw computing power, if they're able to deliver cards that are as powerful as the Nvidia's xx70s, xx60s, and xx50s, and at the same or a lower price, they're probably going to sell well. This would be true if nVidia didn't have RTX, AMD cannot match the performance of even a 2070 in raytracing using anything they've released so far. They really need to have something they've been hiding for RDNA2. Raytracing in games looks absolutely incredible, a major change in quality above just some rasterization improvements, and if it gets down to $200 cards (imagine a 2650/2660) AMD is toast.

Fuzz posted:Goons, I'm a little confused on the EVGA step up setup.... if the card I got is more expensive than their equivalent, I assume they're not gonna refund me the difference, correct? For example if I were to grab this: Correct, though you need to make sure that you're buying from amazon themselves if you want to use the step up program. You need to be the first person to buy the card so no used stuff either.

Fuzz posted:Next question, since it seems that the FTW3 Ultra is the card they auto step up to according to their list... so if I grab this one: You can buy any card ending with -KR and step up to whatever you want, you just pay the difference. You cannot be refunded. So I would buy a 2070 or a cheaper 2080 so you're not wasting money. Though with the FTW3 Ultra you're only losing like $12 I think?

Thinking about it a little bit more announcing a 20GB card coming out in a few months might ease demand in the meantime, "flattening the curve" so to speak.

VorpalFish posted:It's not just a few degrees difference - it's also making more noise to produce those results. Adjust the fan curve on an aib card to match the thermals on the FE gives you a card that is basically inaudible. While all the AIB cards significantly outperform the FE in those gamernexus noise normalized benchmarks and, well, everything else, having any 3080 is better than having no 3080 and it looks like the FE is the only one that actually is $699 in practice? hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Oct 25, 2020 |
