    Official EVGA Ampere Queue Thread

    I ended up getting a zotac 3080 amp holo from zotac's site back in early November for $769 but I kept the queues just to see how long it would take. Still nothing and my earliest was back in September 24th. Kinda wild.

    RTX 3000 Buyer Success Rate Poll

    A 3080 or 3090 and what was the queue date? I'm queued for the September 24th for a 3080 on all but the ultra card -which is the 26th. Haven't heard anything yet but I'm assuming they still aren't done with the massive backlog of launch day orders. I really hope they're getting more than like 5...

    If Navi matches 3080 in Raster performance but not Ray Tracing... will we care?

    If the performance is there and the price is right then yes. I haven't liked anything I've seen from DLSS or Ray Tracing yet aside from demos. The performance is so awful it just isn't worth it. Being on a 144hz 1440p screen nvidia has a long way to go and seeing the ray tracing performance was...

    Retailer's Statistics Claim Higher RMA Rate for AMD 5000 Series GPUs Than Nvidia's Turing

    I have a zotac 2080 ti right now that has been amazing. 66C full load temps. When I changed my case to one with no side panel fan it went up a little. Also not the prettiest but it's solid.

    iCUE 3.29.110

    I haven't had a good version of corsair icue ever. The Corsair display adapter crashes with the 60 release and now icue crashes on 110. I don't know what to do with it anymore except to maybe uninstall it. I had similar problems with corsair link but I never had to restart corsair link manually...

    NVIDIA 445.87 and Hotfix 445.98 Driver Issues

    I don't use the geforce experience but in the nvidia control panel>system information I am seeing 445.98. Probably just a small bug.

    I downloaded it from the geforce driver forum. You can probably get it from guru3d as well.

    Updating my GeForce RTX 2080 / Game Ready Driver / Studio Driver

    I just download the drivers off nvidia's site with the DCH label. It usually installs the control panel for me without having download anything from the store and I also don't have to use the geforce experience. Pretty easy.

    Anyone having constant game crashes with Ryzen 2

    I had this with my x370 taichi and my 3800x. Ended up changing my board to a "cheap" msi board and it doesn't crash anymore. I also broke my cpu clamp though so that was mostly why I did it. The board was stable with my old 1700x with the bad clamp but I decided to change it because the taichi...

    Any luck installing a 3000 Ryzen on an X370?

    Just got as 3800x in the mail today from amazon. Going to give it a go in my x370 later today. Hopefully all goes well.

    4k gaming is Dumb

    I switched over to a 144hz monitor last year. Been wanting one for since the CRT days when I'd play lower resolutions just for the high refresh rates. If you're even remotely competitive and haven't switched to 144hz+ yet, then you're doing yourself a disservice. I figure the sweet spot is 2k...

    Intel i7-9700K Appears on SiSoftware Database: 8 Cores, No Hyper-Threading

    Wow. If that's true then the i9 is basically an i7. They did nothing but just add a lower end SKU and gimp the i7's. What a mess.

    NVIDIA Releases Firmware Update For Displayport 1.3 and 1.4

    Wow. Every so often I get a blank screen and kept thinking it could possibly be my Ryzen system with bad ram or board combo so I would turn off the system off and on until it worked. System is completely stable otherwise so this may explain it. I run display port with an MSi 1070. Maybe it's...

    Logitech Mouse Sale at Amazon

    I had an MX518 for about 10 years and loved it. I finally retired it about two years ago and tried looking for something similar. I first picked up a G402 and it was okay. I had issues with the right-click but couldn't get used to the feel. Last year I picked up a G403 and it is VERY close to...

    What (average) FPS is acceptable to you in games?

    Being on 144hz changed a lot for me. 60hz/fps isn't the same anymore. For some older games locked under 60fps or even 30 I can deal, but with newer games, anything less than around 75fps becomes choppy. I don't mind lowering settings to keep the frame rates high either. I made the switch from...

    NVIDIA to Launch GeForce GTX 1060 with 5GB Memory

    "The new variant of GTX 1060 is an exclusive model for the Chinese market, where the popularity of Internet cafés is booming. " They died in the US and are booming in China. Interesting.

    Fed up with the "everything must be a Destiney clone" state of gaming atm.

    Wallstreet took over the gaming industry just like the others. When EA bought up the small developers they were pretty much about controlling the industry and all the studios we used to love. They're just throwing shit at a wall now and seeing what sticks. If you really want to put your money...

    Nvidia Releases Playunknown's Battlegrounds Game Ready Driver

    Anyone try it yet or does it not affect the test server? Last pubg update seemed to not run as well as the original new map launch. I'm hoping this is a bit better.

    Blizzard Is Working on a New First-Person Game with Playable/Drivable Vehicles

    The first thing that came to my mind was a battleroyale pubg/fortnite style game. I'm sure they looked at fortnite and saw that it could have been them.

    Ajit Pai Openly Mocks Net Neutrality Protesters with Dumb New Video

    I did. I am on Comcast as they are the only provider and have watched Youtube, Netflix and mostly other streaming services having "buffering" issues. I haven't had those problems since around 2014ish. Most of it was cleared up with a VPN as that hides traffic from the provider before it was a...

    Verizon to Start Streaming NFL Games to All Mobile Phones Regardless of Carrier

    Damn that's bad and much expected from the NFL. About a month ago I remember Russell Wilson being "cleared" from a helmet to helmet hit on the sideline after pretty much walking into the concussion tent and walking right out. I also recall Giselle -Brady's wife- complaining about him having...

    AMD Quietly Made Some Radeon RX 560 Graphics Cards Worse

    6600k high idle temps

    Something isn't right with the setup. On my 6700k at idle with an H80i and just chrome up in the summer is around 30-35C tops. Right now in winter I'm idling around 25C at around 975rpm's on both fans. What are your temps at stock?

    How big is your Gaming screen?

    I picked up a Pixio px325c back in October and love the higher 144hz refresh. I was fighting with the idea of going with a cheaper 4k tv or a 144hz monitor. I remember back in the day having 100hz crt monitors and just remembered how nice that was so that helped my decision. Also going up to 4k...

    Netflix Discussing Keeping Disney's Marvel, “Star Wars” Films

    I hope they find a way to keep the Marvel shows they've been making already. Most of them are not too bad at all. I can sure as hell tell you I'm not paying extra for Disney's service to watch them. I don't care that much.

    What causes this effect?

    Looks like Chromatic Aberration to me. I think some games use it for the film effect. I know Alien:Isolation had it and it bothered me at first but I left it on after getting used to it a bit.

    iPhone 8 May Start at $1,200

    Looks like a cash grab from the Samsung fiasco. Yeah it's been a few months but that was still a heck of a PR problem. Apple hasn't had any disasters so they might as well cash in on Samsung's troubles. Either that or they know some folks will automatically buy it no matter what. I figure with...

    Cox Expands 1TB Data Cap to More Territories

    Nice. I got a 1terabyte cap in December along with a $5 price increase (with no speed increase of any kind) for no reason other than a Christmas fuck you from Comcast. I don't get the need for the cap either. If 98% of the customers won't hit it then then why institute a cap in the first place...

    HD 7870 or HD 6950

    I think the 7870 is still supported in the drivers from AMD so I'd go with that if I had to choose between the two.

    BATTLEFIELD 1

    It probably won't go any cheaper so if you were really hell bent on getting it then pull the trigger. I honestly haven't played much of the recent DLC because the main maps are pretty good and the DLC servers are always dead. The setup for it is really stupid as almost all the DLC servers only...

    Intel 10-Core Skylake-X Core i9 7900X: 4GHz Base Clock, 4.5GHz Turbo Boost

    6950x is already $1700. They'll throw this right on top of that so I'm guessing around $1,999 to $2,499 because AMD doesn't have a 10-core processor. That just seems to make sense to me.

    NVIDIA Gameworks FLOW DX12 Demo

    Isn't this the one that they were showcasing before the release of the 1080ti? This one was actually pretty impressive. I've not been a fan of Gameworks because of the past lock-down tactics and poor performance but this demo looked surprisingly good.

    AMD vs Nvidia Newegg Reviews

    I take the reviews with a grain of salt unless there's some sort of major defect where a a lot of the reviewers complain something is faulty and I can back that up with a google search. My last card was an Asus DirectCu 280x and the drivers were really good. This is card that had really bad...

    Stunted Performance on GTX1080

    What AA modes were you using with Rise of the Tomb Raider? My numbers match up exactly with Anandtech's when I run no AA on my 1070 and a stock 6600k at 1080P. I really doubt your CPU is dropping your framerates by nearly half because of 1600mhz ram speed. Either the GPU or cpu is throttling, or...

    GTX 1080 Ti Test on Ryzen and Intel Kaby Lake

    Totally agree with that. For the highest performance it's just not there and some games show that cpu limitation but it's still early. Maybe some things can be fixed in a second generation chip though. I'm trying to be hopeful and positive about it because we all know competition is always nice.
