Not a chance. Emulation is completely legal and judging by how easily their content is pirated, Nintendo's legal team are clowns.

Looks like Gigabyte AORUS Xtreme gets my money again. I have their AIO watercooled 2080 Ti and it's great. I have two 4K TVs in different rooms so not being able to hook them up and get proper 4K 4:4:4 60 Hz & HDR support from my PC is a deal breaker. Have had no luck with DisplayPort...

I plan on procuring a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3090 Xtreme Waterforce AIO from a sales tax free source. In the meantime, I have been satisfied with the performance of my Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 Ti Xtrene Waterforce AIO. I won't be upgrading from my 2080 Ti until watercooled cards are out. Air cooling...

Feels good to be a miner! If one (or both) of the 1080 Ti's that I have in SLI in my main rig bite the dust, I have tons of spare 1080 Ti's in other machines ready to be swapped in at a moment's notice ;)

That's nice... Now what happens when you actually use the thing? I wanna see that picture of Core Temp when you fire up two instances of x265 and have been encoding videos for at least ten minutes ;)

That describes the bulk of wealth generation methods. Capitalism has never been about rewarding the hard working or people who contribute to society.

The coins with solid fundamentals will survive. Ethereum has a variety of real-world applications beyond being monopoly money. Even in the event of a total market crash, Ethereum will survive and rebound. Privacy cryptos like Monero will survive and thrive. And cryptos that make sending money...

I ordered a Titan V for a few purposes. Gaming, mining, and video encoding of animated using upscaling algotithms that make use of Nvidia CuDNN. I thought it would yield outstanding performance in all areas, but I consistently saw no more than 30% performance increases at best, in all areas...

Well I sold my Titan V for $5,000 so I don't regret purchasing it at all. I kind of wish I had ordered two of them now. I reckon that investing that $5,000 in the right crypto will yield far greater returns than mining with a Titan V. Even buying five GTX 1080 Ti's should offer better returns...

I didn't realize these were new. I picked some up for less than $900 on Newegg a couple weeks ago :D It is truly an outstanding card though. They easily overclock to 2.1 GHz without a BSOD in sight. I got two of them in SLI to replace my old Founder's Edition 1080 Ti and I don't regret it in...

Call it whatever you want. Nothing wrong with avoiding over-taxation. Stay poor, little wage cuck.

Paying tax? Oh you sweet child. The only time you have to worry about that is if you cash out to your bank account through an American exchange. You don't pay tax when you mine coins. I don't know where you got that B.S. from. And the IRS certainly doesn't have the resources to enforce its...

I have a Titan V and it sucks tbh $3,200 (Newegg is tax free. I am so happy having to order directly from Nvidia and get charged tax...) The best it gets at Equihash when overclocked as stable as it will go with that shitty cooler and 120% limit is ~950 sol/s My overclocked 1080 Ti's get ~760...

Why would I care when I could buy a dozen replacements from the profit earned by me doing absolutely nothing LOL

I don't know why people are whining about this. Oh no, you can earn free money when you're not gaming! This is terrible! Has there ever been a prior time in PC gaming history where your video card would *pay for itself* within months? We live in an era of free graphics cards.

I just looked into prices for FE's on eBay and it's crazy... 1080 Ti FE's are selling for $900. That costs more than buying a new one with a watercooler from Newegg. I was under the impression that these were inferior to the third party solutions due to the inefficient blower air cooling.

Because we don't give a shit about that. We're worried about how this will affect us. Impact on gaming performance will be the key thing the [H] demographic is concerned about.

Except Assassin's Creed Origins is a double-DRM'd pile of shit that causes quad-core Intel CPUs to reach 100% usage. And clearly you don't understand how emulation works. CPU performance is more critical than GPU performance for emulating console games. That extra 10-20% of extra performance...

Is there a way to block the update? I want to keep every last bit of my performance. 10% performance hit will greatly fuck up emulator performance and Assassin's Creed Origins. THERE'S how it affects your average user here. Wii U games are going to go from being playable to slideshows.

What happens if you buy one of each and then put them in SLI mode...

The Dolphin platform holds some of the best games on the PC so I should certainly hope so. Unfortunately as long as we still have to deal with the complete and utter cancer that is Nintendo's business model, <4 core CPU performance will always be a critical element to any gaming PC because...

Does Threadripper yield as much performance as Intel in Cemu, Dolphin, Citra, etc?

Well ASRock always rules the roost in terms of value per dollar spent... they have $230 x299 motherboards with more features than motherboards from other companies that retail for $100 more. Professional Gaming i9 would be my pick. Only x299 motherboard I've seen with a 10 Gbps LAN port on it...

Stock clocks are indicative of how a manufacturer anticipates a chip being able to overclock. For as much as you could overclock a 7980XE, you ought to be able to overclock a 7940X a bit more, so proportionally the two chips should have performance levels that, when overclocked, are similar to...

It seems like a pointless chip to me. And a tremendously poor value. According to its frequency behavior, it is going to perform worse than a 7940X. No matter how many cores are used, its boost clocks is at least 100 MHz lower than a 7940X's boost clocks...

I don't understand -- why are the FE models so prized?

No. It stands for a progressive picture with 1080 lines of vertical resolution, and nothing else. Hence why 1440x1080 videos are also 1080p.

I don't know why there's all this sperging out over 1920x1080 or 1080p. 1080p is more convenient to write than 1920x1080. Nothing stupid about it; we all know it's shorthand for 1920x1080.

I know you like to be that 'l33t hardcore PC gamer who don't game on no peasant television, pffft!!' but you really should refrain from talking shit about things that you have no clue about. The amount of chroma sampling in usage at the time has no bearing on this particular display's latency in...

That is simply untrue. My Samsung JS9500 gets input lag times below 25 ms. That is sufficiently low enough for every genre of game. Anyways, it seems to me like testing the GTX 1080 Ti's performance against the performance of a 980 Ti and two 980 Ti's in SLI is a no brainer. Most Ti buyers...

Well people are thinking wrong then because you can't even get a year's worth of high performance out of a 1080. Until single GPUs start having enough power to drive 4K @ 60 FPS with some power left over, we're not at the point where cards are 'future-proofed' for years. Example would be for...

I'm just not impressed. One of these isn't going to be powerful enough to drive 4K at 60 FPS with everything maxed out but two is going to be overkill for accomplishing that task. So I'm not really sure what the market is for this. Guess I'll wait for the next architecture which *should* be...

Uhh, billions of dollars? No, no single human being deserves that much wealth, unless they've done something like single handedly cure cancer... Being able to acquire great wealth for great accomplishments is reasonable, but not that great of wealth. Something is severely wrong with our system...

You are one remarkably stupid poster. For someone who is so busy fellating SLI you seem terribly misinformed as to who actually supports the technology. All of Ubisoft's titles have SLI support. They perform well on the PC and achieve 4K + 60 Hz on a SLI setup. EA and Ubisoft are generally very...

No, that's just part of the new trend of developers abandoning SLI support. Microsoft is far from the first to do this and it is just going to continue even moreso. With DX12, multi-GPU is dead. Quantum Break performs poorly because it quite possibly has the best graphics of any PC game ever...

Most the games that actually need SLI these days, like Quantum Break, don't even support it. Most games which actually do have SLI support, the Titan X by itself should be fast enough to run them at 4K + 60 FPS.

These idiots deserve to be out money; it's not like there's even anything that needs more than two 1080s to hold 60 FPS at 4K resolution all maxed out. There are no 8K displays available, there are no 4K 120 Hz displays available. So very pointless.

I just had to look that up. No, I don't think that applies at all. I have no desire to replace my SLI GTX 980 Ti's with a GeForce GTX 1080, nor do I have any desire to replace them with SLI GTX 1080 and be out of pocket an additional $600. For every game that has SLI support, my GTX 980 Ti's...

Why are people so thirsty for this overpriced piece of shit? It's not like anything that needs a SLI 980 Ti setup isn't going to need a SLI 1080 setup anyway because it's not that much of an improvement over the 980 Ti. Everybody's rushing out to drop $700 on this thing and meanwhile I'm just...

I'd rather have an extra $100 in my pocket than have a prettier component that performs the same. Bring on the ugly discount 1080s.
