FedEx delivered the 6800XT today (!) - feeling rather fortunate that my wife was able to snag this card for me! Have it installed - not tweaking it at the moment though. Wheu!
Mine shipped - looks like it'll be here this weekend. Again not too surprised since it's Thanksgiving week... just hoping it'll arrive earlier than expected :)
Ordered it Friday after at about 12pm PST/3pm EST. Still waiting on shipping, though since I ordered it toward the end of the day at the start of a weekend I'm not surprised.
Got my order confirmation where it said I can't cancel my order and that it was processed! waiting on shipping information now. Sweet! updating the poll :)
That was happening mostly for us - we just would refresh the page after a while and it would sometimes give the access denied page, or that the page wasn't responding warnings etc. but this last time the site just came up fine and only two CPUS (the 3950x and 3900x) and the 6800XT were on the...
Was team working with my wife - noticed that it wasn't out of stock on the AMD site and BAM - have a invoice and order confirmation in my email...! (and see a pending transaction on my credit card). Looking hopeful? lol
Well, managed to get the 6800 XT in my cart again this morning but when the little "proceed to cart or continue shopping screen" popped up... it would disappear before I could click on it. Stayed like that for minutes (just clicking on it over and over) and eventually I got a notification saying...
I though it was interesting to see the beta drivers for Dirt 5 with The FPS Review - curious if that one is a bit more optimized for what AMD is using (and the cache?) that is making it that much faster than the 3080? And if future driver updates might... improve things for other games...
I'm getting an Access Denied message on the AMD page now... lol. I can still see the 6800 XT "Add To Cart" button on my desktop, but on another computer it's gone.
Tried on AMD - by the time the vid card even showed up to be added in the cart it was gone (I'm assuming several minutes after release :P). Saw the 6800 on Amazon, but I also wanted the XT and didn't pull the trigger. Still don't even see any of the 6000 Series on newegg..
Just hoping I can find a card on Wednesday - certainly feel better that more will be available but yeesh - yeah, knowing that nvidia didn't really allow people to purchase cards and didn't gobble up what normally would be theirs to take... this could be much more difficult :/
Had to build a new computer over the summer so won't be upgrading to the yet-to-be-released 5000 series processors for a good while... curious as to what a current gen AMD cpu will look like with this card (say, with a 3800x). Now looking at getting one of these cards if they can be found in...
Yay! I'll take it - would be great if they made it so that you can play your game, have a friend jump in from their own game 'world' and do a few quests and leave (while keeping everything else pretty much unique to the player). Not an MMO, just an interesting way to do a type of multiplayer...
I'm curious about it - would have to have it on my desk to check it out (currently using a 38" Dell curved monitor and it works great - larger with a bigger curve? not sure).
And lol about Hz stuff again. Higher the better. And most CRTs back in the day (mid-late 90ies) could do at least 60hz...
That stuff already exists - called the Hololens. 2nd Gen is getting ready to come out as well - oh, and you don't have to plug into anything except for charging. And you can walk around your house. or outside. Not quite to the point where you can play full on AAA games etc. but it is a full...
..So.. let me get this straight: VR is a toy that nobody really cares about and won't be good until there's actual content for it and more comfortable to use. How does that work? Tech just suddenly and immediately just does it all right without generational growth and advancement? Without the...
Nice to see this thread as I'm slowly looking into building something like this from scratch or going the qnap way (you know, backup/plex all that good stuff).
Several years ago I got a used server for free but after trying it for a weekend it went back. I knew it was loud but didn't realize...
Very cool, makes me curious about the 1kwatt PSU I've been using for almost 10 years! I've used the reviews here for quite a few PSU's in different builds (heck, even in work computers) but it's nice to know that there are still companies really building good stuff that will just continue to...
So what is it? This rehashed stuff from years ago ported to the current version of Unreal that the guy who posted had nothing to do with? or something else? Instructions on how to download worked perfect, and crap that's a big download.
Thank goodness the US of A is a country where we have a constitutional right to free speech where this type of debate can actually happen. I don't believe there is any place in the world that has this explicit freedom. Sure, can lose a job and have other ramifications for what is said (within...
Already forgot and maybe it's mentioned... but... wouldn't it be more effective if reviews can only be done by folks that own the game? Or rather, filter on that?
I dunno, sometimes it seems pretty obvious when you have stupid bad reviews (harder to tell with good ones though I think) - see it...
I'll try out a high-framrate movie properly done. It's... strange how the format stuck to 24fps from practically the beginning (the cost of physical film) and really now that it's not generally being used... still sticking with it because that's how it's always been done. Once a movie comes out...
