~Hello Darkness, my old friend~



One week of AMD. Lol. Maybe I've just had the worst luck with drivers for the last ... 15 solid years, but my opinion still stands. I can count how many times a driver has outright failed on me with a nvidia card ive owned on zero 1 hand.


Not to fanboy, but the first couple google results for that 4101 error code are all talking about Nvidia cards, so just a roll of the dice really when poo poo like this happens.

Also during that search found this that should help eek out a bit more with the card: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946

Seems that if you extend the time Windows gives the display driver to do its thing, say if for an older card near the end of its life, Windows won't kill/restart the driver prematurely. Not saying it will work, but worth a shot.

Microcenter's new policy: they are raising GPU prices to match what everyone else is charging, however, if you are buying parts for a complete build (i.e. CPU, mobo, RAM, and PSU) they will apply a discount at checkout to bring it down to MSRP.

Maybe I looked over it, what is stopping someone from returning everything but the GPU.

Nvidia sent out emails about FEs coming back in stock tomorrow and now I'm stuck debating if I want to drop MSRP on a 1080 with a new line right around the corner.
Someone tell me this is a good or bad idea.

Do you want a tried and true tech now for a somewhat inflated price or the shiny new thing in a few months for a guaranteed inflated price?

It just showed up in AIDA64 data, so that's a pretty decent indication. Probably won't show up until sometime in Jan, though, given that NVidia has another "RTX Event" on 12 Jan.

I am fine with waiting, currently have a 2070 super so I am good for now.

Was updating my X470 motherboard for the first time in millennia and also discovered that AMD's reluctance to use SAM/reBAR might have to do with a lack of full-rate _pdep_u32 instruction support. Performance for this improved 250-fold between Zen 2 and 3.

And who has supported this for a while? Intel.

How doable is SAM/reBAR without full-rate _pdep_u32 for all you nerds itt? Is enabling it pre-Zen 3 the way to go, or should I just leave it off so some terrible code in a videogame won't destroy my FPS?

Hmm, kinda makes me want to think about upgrading sooner than I had originally anticipated if the performance improvement is that significant.

So I'm only a few hours away from the current EVGA notify queue for a 3080 FTW Ultra. I'm also already in the Step-Up program because I got desperate for an upgrade towards the end of October and got a 2070S for the express purpose of the program.

At this point I'm 99% sure I want to just scalp this card like a scumbag because it'll cover most of the card I'll eventually get from the Step-Up. I understand judgement but the mostly free GPU helps free up money for a down payment on a house hopefully next year. Besides, it's a one time thing, I'm not using bots to suck up a bunch of inventory or anything.

Anyway, what's the "best" or safest way to sell an expensive item like this? Craigslist seems shady so I'm guessing eBay? I'd throw it in SA-Mart but that's always been a place to get good deals from a cool communit., I'd feel weird about being cutthroat to anyone on this site.

I would suggest Mercari, but think you are limited to putting it up for $500 on your first item sold.

Didn't see it mentioned in the thread, and sorry if I missed it, but would it be worthwhile to upgrade from a 3070 to a 3070 Ti? I mean I noticed it doesn't have a change in the amount of memory, but was curious if the change from GDDR6 to GDDR6X was enough to make an impact?
