Dadbod Apocalypse posted:This is why I went totally overboard with a platinum 1400 psu — I never ever wanted to worry that power was an issue. Yea, but if you rate it too far above what you’re actually going to load it with, you can actually decrease efficiency. They tend to run most efficiently around 75-90% rated load.

Zero VGS posted:and it had 8GB of ram after a BIOS flash even though I paid for 4GB. By far the best value I've ever gotten for a new GPU. Do they actually install 8GB and bios lock it to only use 4? That seems like a waste of money in hardware on their part.

I’m looking to pick up a 1080Ti given all this 2080 nonsense with potential failure rates and excessive power draw and crazy prices. Is eBay basically the only way to get one now? What kind of price is reasonable on a used one?

SlayVus posted:That kind of damage would not have rendered the card inoperable. There are no circuits in that part of the PCB. Definitely check the serial numbers when you get it back, also would suggest removing the heatsink and checking the actual GPU die. Both the MSI GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 use the same PCB design and have the same PCI-E connectors. The bashed corner could short power and ground layers together. I think I actually see copper in one of those pics.

DrDork posted:It's not hard to understand when the American education system conspicuously lacks any requirement whatsoever to teach even basic financial literacy in most states. Then if you're not making much money (and off the start, who is?) $60/mo might seem a lot more manageable than doing without a fridge for several months while you save up the $600. And then you get caught in the cycle of not being able to save up, because all your money is going to these rentals/loans, and you never get ahead. Then you have a kid and they grow up figuring that's just normal, and you certainly don't know wtf about money, either, and the school isn't telling anyone, and the cycle continues. I saw the following posted on Facebook recently. Seems pretty accurate and goes along with your point.

K8.0 posted:It's objectively pretty huge. I really would love to see a study done on people who claim to not be able to see framerate differences. I can't imagine that their eyes fundamentally track motion different from the way everyone else does, but it'd be interesting to see. I don’t think it’s related to how your eyes track anything but to how your brain deals with the shifts from frame to frame. Maybe some people just interpolate from frame to frame better than others on longer time scales (fewer FPS) or they process at a slower rate so the extra frames don’t really matter.

K8.0 posted:You're not going to be able to get cards at a "good" price for a long time if ever because : I guess I should have clarified. By “decent price” I meant more along the lines of “MSRP”. I was all ready to plop down $850 on a 3080. I’m running a 970 still that I was hoping to change to a 1080TI way back but that stopped selling before I had the chance. I’m not interested in buying used for multiple reasons. I didn’t trust the 2000 series stuff, what with being new tech for RT, so I decided to skip it. And now I can’t get the latest and greatest without paying some poo poo scalper for one at exorbitant markup. The money isn’t the problem, it’s the enabling people to continue selling them like that that I hate. It was the same thing when quarantine happened. I wanted a webcam to chat with friends but they all got bought up by scalpers. Took months to get the one I wanted. I just want to pay normal store price.

Craptacular! posted:That "normal" price was lower than it would have been because Nvidia assumed that AMD had something that could compete with them and priced themselves lower than they should have. And then the Radeon guys got on stage two weeks later and went "surprise, it's all bluster!" That's kind of the point. Nvidia thought their years of being way out ahead of AMD was at an end and that graphics cards were a two team race again, but actually no AMD is still selling cards that were groundbreaking two years ago and nobody wants them except for guys who want to post on message boards about how they're standing up to the monopolies of PC hardware by "joining Team Red". Still doesn’t change the fact I’d rather pay the price the manufacturer sets, whether it be $850 or $1850 than have some scalper forcing me to pay more and profiting from it. It’s the principle of the matter.

Is there even a reason to go to 8k beyond niche cases? Appreciate all the replies. Really what I’m getting at is, where do we go from here? We have reached what is basically the ideal resolution, and refresh rates that are peak human capability to detect. We nearly have gpus that can run them at max capability. It’s feeling like the space for innovation is getting so small there’s little practical left to aim for except niche ideas.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I don't trust the market to remain rational or supply to be predictable, and the next generation looks kind of disturbingly power-hungry. I play at 1440p, so the 3080 should hold it's own easily for a couple more years. This was my thinking as well. I nearly bought a used 1080 before deciding to wait on the 20 series. Wasn’t impressed so decided to wait for the 30 series. The supply was nonexistent and I couldn’t even get one until now and I still paid a little over msrp for it (prices dropped enough and I was tired of waiting). The 40 series being so power hungry turns me off more, and I’m playing on a 1440/144 monitor, so the 3070 covers me pretty solid for all the games I like without too much power/heat usage.

repiv posted:also don't unplug the power connector too many times or it might catch fire I’ve usually found these kinds of specs to be irrelevant. I’ve used flex cables in test systems for hundreds of insertions when they are “rated” for 20. The spec usually guarantees a maximum resistance with those number of insertions. So, it might be 0.030 ohms max for 30 insertions but even after that it might only go up 0.005 ohms for the next hundred, which is typically negligible. Higher currents are involved so slightly more important but I highly doubt it will matter as much as you may think.
