    Red Dead Redemption 2

    My 1080ti as well. Damn it’s too bad this doesn’t have dx11 support. I guess that I won’t be picking up the pc version any time soon.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Anyone with a 1080 to try playing this at 4k?

    Popularity of overclocking

    I agree. Loadline calibration is even scarier for most motherboards. The amount of negative vdroop that I've seen with a dmm in the Lynnfield days was nuts.

    Intel 660p M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVME SSD - $84.99 w/ code NEFPCA96

    Yeah I used a 64gb vertex 4 for years as a cache drive for Intel srt for years until the HDD finally failed. According to the smart data the drive is still like new.

    FS/ gigabyte windforce GTX 980ti

    I'm looking for $220 shipped for the bare card. I've owned this since it was released. I never really ran it overclocked other than some benchmarks when I first bought the thing. Mined on it for a week in the spring. Still works like new.

    RTX2080 and RTX2080Ti Reviews online

    That is an interesting result for sure. I'm not too surprised though. Oddly Pascal never seemed to scale as well as amd cards in vulkan.

    Mined Cards vs. "New" Cards from Retailers

    Ended up picking up a used 1080ti. After looking into evga's new warranty I have no concerns. It's a much bigger upgrade from my 980ti than I was expecting at 4k.

    thoughts on oculus go?

    The lenses are my largest gripe with the rift. I have to ask. Is it as much of a foggy sweatbox?

    Looking for headphones with great soundstage and good bass response

    This, I bounced around between a few headphones a few years back. The dt990 was the last pair that I purchased and have been happy with them since

    Guys let's support AMD gpu, and boycott Nvidia, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI

    Actually, I didn't even think about that one. With amd supplying both consoles I'm sure that most optimizations carry over to their PC hardware.

    Recommend some Good Story Driven Single Player FPS games?

    Also a lot of good rpg and TPS suggestions here. Alpha protocol is a hidden gem. Like bloodiness it's very flawed, mostly in the fighting mechanics. The writing is top notch though. I love obsidian. On the obsidian note fallout new Vegas is great. Still not a great shooter though. Everything...

    Recommend some Good Story Driven Single Player FPS games?

    I liked rage. I was put off due to the people who expected the world. It was the first game released by id in like a decade by that point. There was no living up to the hype. I found the texture pop in noticable but game breaking when I first played it well after launch. Then I switched to an...

    Performance-PCS sale

    https://martinsliquidlab.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/r10-fan-testing-bitfenixnoctuasilenxnoiseblockerphobya/ Personally my main issue was when looking for silence. I was able to run my fdb and sleeve bearing fans at a higher speed without noticing. Which is/was my 24/7 fan speed anyway.

    Performance-PCS sale

    GTs make an odd noise that drives me mad. I've had some yates that I used for years. Yes there were different versions. There was a thread on xtremesystems years ago covering who was selling what. I have a very. very old scythe s-flex in my system right now. I paid significantly less than I...

    Vega Rumors

    Its what happens when you hype something up a year before releasing it . Smells like bulldozer.

    Vega Rumors

    How long after Volta will that take? I've heard this before. I'm still not regretting buying a 980ti over a fury x, not at all..........

    AMD has really put me in it with Vega..

    I'm just hoping that we don't have the video card version of bulldozer here. With how long they've been hyping up this card while staying so tight lipped I'm not getting my hopes up. At this point the ti has been out for 5 months and gtx 1080 for well over a year. Volta probably isn't even that...

    Blind Test - RX Vega FreeSync vs. GTX 1080 TI G-Sync

    To be fair a monitor will likely outlast your video card. I'm using a 120hz catleap right now. I've used several video cards to drive this monitor. My current GTX980ti cost me over $700. There is also a large difference between 2560x1440 and 3440x1440. I do wish that I hadn't paid 1k for my...

    WTB: Ultrawide 34" 3440x1440 Monitor

    I live in Hartford and would let go of my u3415w for 500. I have the box and all.

    There is a GTA V VR mod?! Anyone try it?

    Is the zbuffer 3d as bad as I'm hearing? I'm surprised since it works so well in Nvidia 3d vision.

    780 Ti died. GPU recommendations please

    My 980ti seemed very close in many games to the 780tis that I was using beforehand. I'm sure that a GTX1070 would feel llike a nice upgrade.

    There is a GTA V VR mod?! Anyone try it?

    Sadly it requires vorpix. Still if it works well I may have to bite the bullet. Anyone try this out? http://grandtheftvr.com/

    Oculus vs Vive IQ?

    I haven't gotten the chance to try out a vive. I'm curious about IQ between the two. I know that they use different style lenses and from what I hear the vive doesn't suffer from the godrays which I find by far the most annoying thing about my rift. White text on a black background looks...

    1080 to 1080Ti am I CPU bound?

    As always it depends on the game resolution, and refresh rate. I have a 980ti and my 4770k and probably memory are my bottleneck in FO4. 90% of the time even with a 1080ti I'm sure that my cpu wouldn't be a bottleneck on my 3440x1440 display. On my occulus rift I'm sure that would be a different...

    Your greatest overclocks of all time!!!!

    Oh, if we're going to mention video cards. I have had some good luck there. My GTX 280 was a beast. Next to my current gpu that may be the one that lasted me the longest. The thing hit just over 720mhz iirc. It was something like a 20% overclock. I ran it like that all of the time. I used 7950...

    VR need more power or gaming on Ultrawide?

    At 1920x1200? I've played with a lot of 3d vision titles. I've never known 3d vision be be more demanding on vram. Gpu, cpu,, and memory bandwith in that order definitely. But vram, I would need to see some proof on that claim. I'm sorry. VR even has more features that should ease up on that...

    Your greatest overclocks of all time!!!!

    The first cpu that I ever bothered overclocking was an e8400. Later picked up a q9950, i7 860, i5 750, i5 760, i5 2500k, i5 2600k, i5 3570k, i5 3770k, i7 4770k. Not a one worth bragging about. Not a one that I would say runs 24/7 stable at the clocks some people claim are the norm. All of them...

    AMD & NVIDIA GPU VR Performance: Serious Sam VR:TLH @ [H]

    I'm surprised that oculus offered up good money for this game. I didn't get any roomscale warnings for it which is why I put off superhot. Superhot ended up playing fine in my small play space. This game not so much. You need to actively quickly dodge and need some good space to do so. At least...

    VR need more power or gaming on Ultrawide?

    Its amd, they won't change shit until they get raked over the coals for it. Look at crossfire microstutter..... I never saw a lower priority game with issues being addressed. Hell, I'll never forget the gsod issue. How big did the thread need to get on this forum and Kyle asking questions...

    How fast a GPU before bottleneck?

    This is very true. These days it all depends on the game. Most won't really be your cpu unless your running high refresh rates or maybe some vr titles. The only time that I saw a real bottleneck was when I thought that it would be a good idea to break out my core2 duo rig to test an original...

    I miss ATIs AIW cards :(

    Can I come over and play with some of that hardware?! Maybe the p5q pro and GTX285? That'll bring back some memories.

    Getting a GTX 1080ti with Asus PG348Q, should I sli and is my CPU fine

    I'm in the same boat. I'm running a 3440x1440 monitor with a 980ti and don't have the urge to upgrade. I would imagine that a single 1080ti would put me right where I want to be.

    Getting a GTX 1080ti with Asus PG348Q, should I sli and is my CPU fine

    I'm with you there. I went from 780ti sli to a single 980ti and couldn't be happier. Things seem to have gotten far worse since. DX12 isn't helping things. If anything read up on sli scaling with the games that you play. Then decide if it's worth it for you.
