Eletriarnation posted:Power supply issues could manifest in a lot of forms but I would expect a brownout to cause the whole system to reboot, not just crash a process. What happens if you run a stress test like Furmark? I had a irl friend who has some bad home wiring in his house. It's now killed 3 power supplies in one computer. Each time the power supply starts failing to causes a whole slew of issues. This last time he could play games for a couple minutes and then the whole system would freeze. It got so bad that the system would just freeze any time he loaded a game. He replaced the power supply and bought a pure sine wave UPS had is not having any more issues. Power supply issues can cause so many problems that until you've gone through trouble shooting every other part there isn't a good way to troubleshoot for it unless you have a tools to test power supplies. I've had power supply issues that caused graphical artifacts randomly when playing games. I had a two rail PSU that just wouldn't boot when everything was plugged into the 12v1 rail after a few years, but it would still boot and play games if I loaded it CPU on 12v1 and gpu on 12v2.

Salvor_Hardin posted:EVGA. I hadn't seen it before either. It's entirely possible I'm doing something stupid though. If you're using EVGA's Precision XOC software, they've recently changed developers or something and are having a hell of a buggy time after they introduced a bomb that didn't qualify to count as a beta and then started a public beta program and are trying to put the software back where it was in January. Bugs have included a lot of fan issues, including jumping to 100% andnot obeying user-set curves, etc. You can use MSI Afterburner instead of you want, though you'll lose the asynchronous fans on an iCX system where only one of the two fans will turn on if it's the part underneath it that's running hot. In fact, I think Afterburner controls one only one of the fans period. Your other option would be to find a copy of XOC from before April when they began making big changes. It's just going through an "Internet Explorer 4" phase as it bloats up into something bigger than what everybody initially downloaded it for. I think they're eyeballing integrating controls and gauges for their other devices like liquid coolers and PSUs into it eventually.

Got a partial refund.Ebay seller person posted:Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry to hear of this issue. This item was a item that we purchased brand new factory sealed and a buyer purchased the item, then the same day it was delivered opened a return request stating they "changed my mind". Once the item was returned to us we inspected it and relisted it. This sticker matched the 8gb reference so we do not think anything of it. I am guessing our buyer purchased this to replace their old model and cheated us. So uh, thanks Ebay for the $150 1060?

eggyolk posted:Got a partial refund. You should be able to get a full refund. Did you get the refund through the seller or through ebay? Don't settle for a partial refund. If the seller's policy is "no returns", you probably won't even have to return it (though you could offer to let the seller pay for shipping). If you don't want a 3gb 1060, I wouldn't keep it, especially considering you likely won't get the transferable warranty with a fake S/N sticker (if it really is a gigabyte card - you can check with HWiNFO portable). Brook no poo poo from sellers. Scams exist, but they're not necessarily the majority of auctions - I got a perfectly fine MSI blower 1070 ti for $430. Just be very aggressive with pursuing full refunds (and only bid on item that have pictures of the card that show the S/N if you want to be more sure). E: Eggyolk isn't the goon who ordered the $60 card from China - they got a $400 1070, which pretty much the going rate for used 1070s right now.

WCCFBullshitech is claiming the 1180Ti will have 32GB of GDDR6 and cost $749-799. It would be interesting if nVidia released the whole line at the same time, but that'd cut back on impulse upgraders.

For what possible reason would Nvidia release a 32GB gaming card at this point. I get that they need to fill the memory bus, but they could half the chip density to 16GB and it would still be massive overkill for gaming.

^ Probably 32gb so the things can drive 4k displays on a single card but who knows if that's legit or not. Also, random Asus ROG Strix 1080ti issue (?): When on the loading screen of any graphically intense game or benchmark, my mouse cursor will start to lag/stutter really bad along with some mild screen brightness flickering (happens on all displays I've tried). I'll also get some really nasty sounding coil whine. Nothing ever crashes, everything is buttery smooth once the game loads, and there's no other problems with the card otherwise. This sometimes happens with windows programs too. If I run spotify in a window with hardware acceleration turned on and continuously drag the window around the desktop, the window will sort of lag/chug/sputter across the screen for 2-3 seconds and then return to buttery smoothness. It doesn't happen with all windows programs though; just Spotify only when hardware acceleration is turned on (and Microsoft Excel/Word but apparently that's some issue inherit to MS office suite stuff not playing nicely with nvidia drivers). Is this something to be concerned about? I am running this thing only on a 750 watt gold rated PSU with the card itself jammed into a micro ATX mobo and apparently this card can draw like 350 watts at full load.

Which means it'll release next week Yeah, but to use the entire memory bus the alternative in those cases would have been 6GB and 4GB respectively, which wouldn't be enough for those cards. OTOH halving 32GB still leaves the card with plenty of memory.

Swapped that one out with a 800w Corsair and never had that problem again. 2) Have you switched drivers? I reverted back to 391.35 because the latest drivers were buggy as hell.

Would there be a performance gain at that point?

Even today there are a number of games where most loading times and pop-in issues would be largely solved if the game bothered to utilize the available VRAM, but they don't because they're fundamentally written to run on consoles, and the extra VRAM largely goes to waste. 16 or 32 or 64GB VRAM on a top-end part that will likely never see more than a 2% install base wouldn't change that at all.

Swapped that one out with a 800w Corsair and never had that problem again. PSU is a 1.5 year old Corsair RM750x. I hosed up big time a couple months ago trying to recover data off of a friend's old platter hard drive, wasn't thinking, and plugged in the drive using some power cable that came with the drive directly to my PSU instead of just using the power cable that came with my modular PSU. Ended up shorting my system out x3 before I realized what a loving idiot I was. Luckily, the mobo has some anti surge feature that kills power to everything if it detects something going wrong with PSU power delivery so no fried components. Always wondered if I screwed up the PSU big time with that. And yea, the issue persists with any/all Nvidia drivers. Again, it's not really an issue so much as just a concern. Only other weird behavior I can think of is trying to run the Uniengine "Superposition" benchmark at 8k Ultrawide Extreme settings which takes about 10gigs of vram. Running it that high the benchmark will never start, and the I/O on the mobo gets semi knocked out with the sound card/speakers acting like they were plugged in and detected by windows for the first time. Same thing would happen when trying to overclock my CPU too high. Able to alt/tab out and kill the benchmark just fine though. It also runs 'great' at 8k-12k extreme resolution 16:9 at 1fps on average taking up 9gigs of vram soooooooo ? EDIT: Just plugged my system specs into a wattage/power draw calculator from Coolermaster here. This thing claims under absolute worst overclock full load conditions my system could be requiring around 580-630 watts which is not all that much headroom for a 750 watt supply. Looks like it's time for a beefier PSU Avalanche fucked around with this message at 07:41 on May 14, 2018 |

Always wondered if I screwed up the PSU big time with that. Im not saying thats not what you need to fix the situation but that power requirement is definitely ~600 watts max with fairly huge overhead (% wise). My max overclocked 8600k + 1080ti uses 330 watts from the wall under full load and I've been running similar TDP cards with a 500 watt PSU with room to spare for years. That PSU (assuming its good) will run a whole extra 1080ti edit: oh hey maybe I missed this but Nvidia has explicitly stated what portion of GPUs were buttmining cards. Im not surehow they can be completely sure about that number but its the first real number ive ever seen https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-is-expecting-a-massive-drop-in-gpu-sales-to-cryptocurrency-miners/ I wonder if GPUs report use data. 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 15:17 on May 14, 2018 |
