drat, was hoping to pick up a 1070 or 1080 once the new lineup came out. Guess I’m sticking with my 1060 for a while...

So Cyberpunk2077 is coming April 2020. What’ll be out by then? Edit: 7nm at least soon after that? Lackmaster fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Jun 10, 2019 |

I posted this in the monitor thread but I’m cross posting here cause this is a GPU question as much as it’s a monitor question I’ve got a question about HDMI 2.1 and another one about (theoretical) Freesync support for the RTX 3XXX series of graphics cards. I also want to get a sanity check to make sure there aren’t any flaws in my reasoning here: So I currently have a Dell S2417DG. It’s a 24” 1440p 165hz TN panel. I have a 1060 6GB that lets me run stuff like Apex Legends on high/ultra at ~45 FPS and if I crank stuff down to medium I can push ~90 FPS. I’m strongly considering upgrading to a LG 27gl83a‑b. It’s a 27” 144hz IPS panel. I don’t care about going down from 165hz to 144, I like having a slightly bigger screen, and the IPS is attractive to me because of (what I assume will be) better color and viewing angles. The color banding on dark images is also really bad on the TN panel. I know I’m potentially opening myself up to IPS glow and reduced contrast, but I think the pros outweigh the cons for me. (Anyone made this jump or similar and have thoughts?) I am also feeling pretty constrained by my 1060. I will very likely get a RTX 3080 soon after they come out, like late this year. I like playing AAA games with the settings turned up - I want Cyberpunk 2077 to look really good. So, my questions are, basically, assuming I’m on the right track with all the above, what will it be like to have a 3080 with my new LG 27gl83a‑b? Am I right assuming that as long as I’m staying at 1440p 144hz, HDMI 2.1 is irrelevant to me and thus I won’t care that my new GPU will (probably) have it but my monitor won’t? Probably my bigger concern is, will the RTX 3080 play nice with the freesync/gsync-lite on the LG? I know that second question probably doesn’t have a definitely answer, but y’all are super knowledgeable and I’m wondering if people have guesses or thoughts? I’m hoping the answer is it’ll be fine, and then I can be happy with rock solid 1440p while OLED or micro-LED sorts itself out. If that took 4 years, that’d be fine by me.

I’m definitely waiting for reviews. Too much power and heat for there to not be at least 1 card model that doesn’t get adequate cooling. I’m willing to wait to see which one it is.

When will DDR5 RAM and PCIE 5.0 motherboards be reasonable to buy? I have the cash and desire to get a 3080 soon, but my cpu is an i5-8400 with DDR4 ram and I know it’ll be a bottleneck on 1440p. I’m concerned about upgrading my motherboard on the cusp of a big longterm change. Lackmaster fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jul 14, 2022 |

CoolCab posted:you're a little misinformed bud - PCIe gen 4 is super common (gen 5 is the new hotness) and has been available since b570 and I think 10th gen. high end ddr4 can be nearly as fast as high end DDR5 in many gaming scenarios due to tighter timings, MUCH better price/performance. Whoops, that was a typo. I’ve been hearing about PCIE 5.0 SSDs also.

gradenko_2000 posted:DDR5 is in-general already always faster than DDR4, and is already comparable in price-performance at the mid-to-high end. Hm this seems to conflict with what the other dude said: CoolCab posted:high end ddr4 can be nearly as fast as high end DDR5 in many gaming scenarios due to tighter timings, MUCH better price/performance. I assume the truth is in the middle, as is always the correct choice on all matters

Anyone have experience with the Asus/Noctua 3070 or 3080? I really value low noise and low temps and it doesn’t seem like anything else gets close on both counts. I’d be happy to pay a premium for it and even give up the VRAM for the 3080 version. Or anyone know if there are plans for a 4000 series Noctua card?

Seriously what is the 5090 or 6090 going to be like at this rate? Is a separate enclosure/PSU actually something that might happen? Is SLI gonna come back? Or some kinda chiplet thing that’ll let them reduce the overall size? Seems like we are seriously approaching the limit of what can reasonably fit in a computer case

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Eh, you can commonly get it for around $700 new. That's not enough of a discount in my opinion. A quick look at sold listings on ebay tells me that people are managing to get 3080 Tis for less than $600. I'd personally shoot for around $500 or less. Are you seeing evga 3080 cards for 700 new? I’m been almost exclusively looking at evga cards with the bet being that EVGA will at least be around long enough to honor what’s left of the 3 year transferable warranty. It was my understanding that the evga 3080 ftw3 was one of the better coolers too. I’ve heard the asus TUF and Strix are good too. Maybe I’m putting too much stock in evga

Cygni posted:Just so we actually know what happened in this mess, PCI-SIG (where AMD, Intel, Nvidia, IBM, ARM etc all have board seats, and basically every electronics company is a member) developed the connector for a spec sponsored by Nvidia and Dell EMC (for servers). PCI-SIG approved and rolled that connector into the PCI Express 5.0 requirement docs, mandating its use in lots of circumstances. Intel then adopted it as part of their ATX 3.0 PSU specs, because its use was already mandated by PCI-SIG. It is going to be the only plug in use in the future, unless those docs change. Very interesting

At least from my anecdotal perspective it seems like 3080’s are about $75 more expensive on eBay now then they were about a month or two ago. Not exactly sure why. Wish I’d jumped on some of the ~$600 3080 12GB I saw a bit ago cause now it seems like the 10gb versions are that price. Maybe it was some confusion and shuffle before the 4080 and 4090 launch.

Wondering how much my i5-8400 is going to bottleneck my incoming 3080 at 1440p 144hz? I know the answer is at least “some” I currently have a 1060 and get maybe 40 fps in AAA games with medium-ish settings. 16 gigs of 3200 ram. I figure the 3080 is gonna be a big upgrade regardless of CPU, but curious if anyone else has made a similar move and had thoughts.

I’ve got a 3080 sitting on my desk ready to be swapped for a 1060. A couple of questions: What’s the best way to deal with drivers? DDU and boot in safe mode? Just plug it in and see what happens? Am I right thinking that I can get away with two separate PCIE cables, one being doubled-up, for the 3 slots in the 3080? Or do I need 3 separate cables? Any recommendations on how to stress test so I can be confident it’s working properly? Furmark? Thanks thread! I’ve been eyeing a 3080 since launch and I’m pumped.

huh I feel like a total noob. Been having terrible microstuttering in Apex Legends for weeks and tried everything I could think of - drivers, getting ride of razer synapse, all sorts of tweaking settings. I was starting to think that my CPU was the culprit, bottlenecking my 3080 (which I'm sure it does at least a bit). Turned out the issue was running in borderless window instead of fullscreen. In fullscreen it's vastly improved. What's the deal with that?
