Retesting Resizable BAR, after Nvidia Inspector whitelistingcode:The Forza bump is pretty nice. Though a proper test would look at the frame times and lows. Also, I'm still getting the intermittent screen flashing, even without the second display. Don't really want to spend $15 on a new DP cable atm (just to find out it's not the issue).

Is $570 a good price for a 3060 right now? The guy at the store wasn't sure if it was a 3060 or 3060ti.

The guy at the store wasn't sure if it was a 3060 or 3060ti. it's hard to define a good price right now. it's cheaper than scalper price, but the stock 3060 MSRP was like $329 at launch (lol). if it's a 3060 Ti, then $570 is not too terrible -- pretty equivalent to what you'd pay through the newegg shuffle. you could get a better price through best buy luck or the evga queue if you're willing to wait an indeterminate amount of time. really depends on how bad you need it.

No. I've seen some 3060 models go for around $600, but that's a real lovely price and I wouldn't buy one for that much. A 3060 Ti for $570 is okay-ish. There's a pretty big difference in performance between the two, so be sure of what you're buying before pulling the trigger.

I ran DDU, but when I was changing something else in my computer, I noticed the GPU wasn't seated properly because the PCIe lock wasn't engaged. Seems like that could be the culprit.

I managed to get a Hellhound 6700xt from amazon for $830 with the plan of selling my old 5700xt to offset the cost. Got the new card installed, tested a few games for an hour or so, then the whole system crashed just after I started a vm. After restarting it would post but hang on the os loading screen, and after a few more reboots it wouldn't even post. Put the old card back in and everything was fine. Has anyone seen a card fail like that before? In my experience they usually either don't work right from the start or last for years. Amazon won't replace it, only refund, and there are no other models within $100 of the price I paid. Is my best bet trying to RMA through powercolor, or take the refund and wait for something similarly "cheap" to become available? riparian fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jan 21, 2022 |

I swapped slots, tried a different power cable, etc. Left it in while booting off the old card and the logs showed that amdgpu had trouble loading the bios and reported that the card had 0M vram. Tried reflashing the bios with amdvbflash which appeared to succeed, but didn't change any of the errors. The fact that it went from running normally to hanging during boot to not posting looked like some kind of progressive hardware failure, I'd just never seen anything quite like that before.

Rinkles posted:Retesting Resizable BAR, after Nvidia Inspector whitelisting So I had no idea you could manually whitelist games for ReBAR I went and added Dishonored 2 which I'm nearing the end of and uhhhh wow my frametimes are great now. This is a game that is known for running pretty badly even on high-end systems (drops to 60-70 FPS from 120 at times on mine) but now about the worst I've seen in my short testing is ~90 or so.

Overclockers in the UK on their forum were open about having a limited number to sell at £175 supported by the aib. The cheapest card is now a £225. It hasn't increased any further than that and has remained in stock since. They mention having 1000 or so to sell It took a couple of days longer for ebuyer but the cheapest card has shown up at £220 and is still in stock. It feels like most places are just waiting for their shipments to arrive. I can't believe it's a paperlaunch given the small die size or that their will be scalping given the negative press.

I was lucky enough to win a 3060 in the Newegg shuffle about 6-7 months ago as something to hold my new over until I could get a 3060 TI and after entering the shuffle every day since then I finally was able to get one today. Hopefully I am done buying GPUs for 5+ years.

For those that didn't hear about it back in 2017, AMD announced the Vega64 at $499, let the reviewers write their articles with that number... and then after launch day stock was gone, the price jumped to $599. People internal to the industry said AMD had basically subsidized the launch batch by $100, but that was never the real price. AMD made some lame business-speak screed weeks later about endeavoring to restock at the "suggested" price. There was one more batch at $499 on black friday a few months later for literally 1 day, and it never touched the price again. lol. Sounds familiar.

Speaking of price hikes apparently the MSRP of FE cards got quietly bumped up in Europe https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-quietly-increases-prices-of-geforce-rtx-30-founders-edition-cards-in-europe They're probably still the cheapest cards, but yeah
