    Question 3080 Shortage & Big Navi? Blessing?

    Who's taking bets on whether you get a 3080 or a Covid vaccine first?

    Question Any good failure stats out there?

    I am so tired of having to return and RMA motherboards, and pull everything and reassemble over and over due to boards which don't work out of the box. Does anyone know of any objective defect rate stats out there, complied by retailers or anyone else? I would love to purchase known low defect...

    AMD Ryzen 5000 Builders Thread

    They've had roadmaps which have been fairly accurate for literally years. You could have googled this quite easily.

    AMD Ryzen 5000 Builders Thread

    MSI x570 Gaming A-Pro, first it was intermittent crashing, then it wouldnt boot at all. After sending it back in for RMA, they did no real testing whatsoever (time into repair shop to time out of repair shop was like 20 minutes) except to update BIOS. Of course, I had already updated BIOS and...

    nVidia 3080 reviews thread

    Reviews also seem to indicate my 5820k is finally going to be bottlenecking for 144hz refresh rate at 1440p, and I'm sure a number of folks are in this boat too. So upgrading to this prior to also getting Ryzen 3 doesn't make sense anyways

    Article Imagination B-Series GPU - first MCM Multi-GPU acting as single GPU

    For desktop/server tbh I expect it will end up being a glorified encoder/decoder and multi desktop VDI for cloud. Just shippin' virtual desktops to as many users as possible for cheap in some *nix flavor, or running decode/encode en masse for cloud services. I can't imagine any serious gaming or...

    Question 3080 Shortage & Big Navi? Blessing?

    I'm in the opposite boat where I splurged for a nice monitor before the Gsync/Freesync unification for Geforce cards. So I bought a monitor with the hardware Gsync module. That means if I want to keep Sync tech on AMD i'd need to basically retire this $500 monitor which works great and looks...

    AMD Ryzen 5000 Builders Thread

    I have accepted that my will is too weak to resist Ryzen 3. I will be getting a 5900x. I recently helped a friend put together an 3600x build because his old machine failed and we have had no end to motherboard issues on X570 with an MSI board, extremely disappointing. That cools my enthusiasm a...

    Question any benefit to using ethernet cable higher than cat6 or cat6a ?

    That may all be true but I would rather spend a bit more on better cabling than redo the labor, I'd you have to punch holes and patch walls. If it's a straightforward fish where you could easily swap the cables then no sense in trying to future proof.

    When will we get FIOS internet, or Xfinity, at 2.5Gbit/sec? Any time soon?

    Wow I am super jealous. I can't even get Comcast to give me something with more than 35 Mbps uplink without paying out the nose for business class, much less gigabit, I dont even dare to dream of 2gigabit

    Question any benefit to using ethernet cable higher than cat6 or cat6a ?

    If I was wiring up walls, I might go to Cat7 if it was in the budget just to make sure I'm future proofing myself within reason especially if you gotta make cuts and patches in the wall. For a patch cable, just get 6a

    Time to upgrade my wifi

    Agree with Fallen. Get a better WAP before you go mesh, for sure. The Ubiquiti stuff mentioned earlier is very well regarded for that

    Question QSW-1105-5T 5-port 2.5GbE Switch: Create an affordable 2.5GbE network environment with CAT 5e cables

    Have you guys seen any good USB3->NBASE 2.5g adapter roundups that measure latency? I haven't found anything good and I've been trying to figure out just how bad the USB adapters are. I'm planning on having some around for Guest computers during lan parties, with PCIe hardware in my permanent...

    Question Alternative to NVIDIA GeForce Titan X

    Also, forget about dual cards. SLI barely works now, it isn't supported out of the box for DX12 or Vulkan games and almost no developers add support for it. Single card is pretty much the only game in town

    Question Alternative to NVIDIA GeForce Titan X

    I'm not sure why people are giving such bad answers Now is a terrible time to upgrade. They are projecting the next gen cards, which are appearing to be a huge upgrade, to come out starting in September through November. Wait for those and you will have faster and newer cards to pick from...

    Question Choosing the right CPU/mobo for a system that will support 4-6 Titan RTXs, for the purposes of TensorFlow calculations

    neural net processing is failure tolerant. ECC on the GPUs is not really that important. You can use INT8 or even lower precision for some models, no way a tiny tiny amount of bit flips matters. The obsession over ECC for "professional" work is so completely overblown. Maybe - maybe - it is...

    Question QSW-1105-5T 5-port 2.5GbE Switch: Create an affordable 2.5GbE network environment with CAT 5e cables

    Looking forward to US availability for this. The one plus for 2.5g is that data rate wise it pairs nicely with USB3, plus cheap adapters for it exist

    Question Home network revamp

    Yeah given all of the limitations and uncertainty, I ended up just building a low end but modern dedicated Lan Cache box. It's got a b460m mobo and the low end 10th gen Pentium gold 2c/4t processor. I did splurge on the nice WD750 Black SSD. I just have it on the gigabit LAN right now, I will...

    Question Home network revamp

    Double post, sorry. The main alternative in my mind is roll my own FreeNAS and rely on my Cloudberry backup tool to a regular fileshare. I would lose the easy file sharing capability for the NAS (unless there is a tool for FreeNAS that is easy to use that Im unaware of). I hesitate because I...

    Question Home network revamp

    Hey folks, Looking for tips especially on new and upcoming gear. Plan I am planning on upgrading my entry level QNAP Nas (TS-231p). My goals are: - Increase throughput generally (cpu in NAS holding me back) - Increase throughput specifically to main PC which I use for my home studio for...

    Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

    if they manage to make chiplets for GPU work with the same success they have for Ryzen that could be a major shakeup moment but I agree, I dont see it happening following the same monolithic chip trends of today

    Info [GDC] ps4 Spiderman technical postmortem (and the future of game rendering)

    SSDs that can saturate a 6Gbps SATA III link are old news. NVMe / low overhead / compressed in transit at 5.5 GB/s SSDs are absolutely NOT old news. We are only now seeing PCIe 4.0 SSDs that approach this speed. This is an SSD that is 8 times faster than an average off the shelf SATA III SSD...

    Question AMD vs nVidia for professional Unreal Engine 4 ???

    same answer. Stay 3000 series. You want to keep that high single thread performance for situations where more cores doesnt help. 3600 is basically a total sweet spot for CPUs right now.

    Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

    8800 GTX too. Big shakeups like 9700 and 8800 dont happen very often so it would be really cool if it did again

    Question AMD vs nVidia for professional Unreal Engine 4 ???

    stick with 3000 series Ryzens before going to earlier models. The 3000's are way better. 3600 is probably the minimum they will want

    Question Radeon 4800 or GTX 460??

    unless this is for a gaming box "of the era" to play older games, forget using either of these cards. They're both way too slow and old to be useful for much of anything

    Question Does Sapphire R9 290x tri x oc require a copper shim

    What 1080p Editing Card for Lowest Heat & Noise During Presentations?

    Noise level is a function of the type of fan the specific graphics card. Look up reviews for the graphics card - it is not as related to the specific model as you think. There are some very fast high end cards that use a lot of power which are still very quiet because they have very good fans on...

    Question DLSS 2.0

    the fact the developer has to enable it, even if its really small, is still the issue. It's a catch-22. The kinds of games I could really use the DLSS speed up are the poorly coded, unoptimized games that don't run well despite me having a very fast rig. Like Escape from Tarkov for example. The...

    Question Can I make a second PSU power my GPU?

    I second this opinion, I had similar weird spottiness issues when using Add2PSU for mining. It worked most of the time though. I'd definitely look into buying the specific 24Pin ATX Standard connector -> Dell proprietary adapter mentioned earlier in the thread and using a more powerful off the...

    Question Show and tell: Your all time favorite gpu?

    That sounds right to me. I remember in that era the propaganda machine was unreal, there was an incredible amount of fud flying around. Easy to mislead people who only look into this kind of stuff once every 3 or 4 years when they do a new build. You don't see a lot of people in this thread...

    Question Show and tell: Your all time favorite gpu?

    Top 3 in order 1. Radeon 9700 Pro. Unbelievably long lived, unmatched performance at its time 2. Radeon 290, very affordable, great performance. All of my 290s paid themselves off with mining. I just finally replaced my original blower 290 from launch day in my guest computer just to reduce fan...

    Info [Digital Foundry] Xbox Series X Complete Specs + Ray Tracing/Gears 5/Back-Compat/Quick Resume Demo Showcase!

    When the difference is 38x its just common sense to question whether its the same metric being used. There is no standard in that space yet, everyone is making up figures that favor their architecture. If you wanna place bets on whether the FPS will come out 38x better on RDNA2 than on the...

    Question Anyone knows when the New Xeons coming out?

    Not that I don't understand the urge, but these requirements are MASSIVELY overkill for a DAW machine. It sounds like you're using crappy old school DAWs (ProTools excluded-ish). Good DAWs use all the threads available and aren't super resource heavy like that. I run huge project files with...

    Question Is Triple monitor gaming worth it?

    This has been my experience too. The peak of it working nicely was right around the r9 290 release window, IMO. Games since then have focused on other gimmicks. Once VR came on the scene, developers left eyefinity by the way side.

    Question Is Triple monitor gaming worth it?

    No. I have 2x1080p with 1x1440/144hz in the center. First off, nVidia wont do multi resolution spans like that, so unless you downgrade the middle monitor to 1080p/60 and do a bunch of fiddling with custom resolutions it wont even turn on. Unless all 3 monitors are identical specs, nVidia does...

    What are todays "mid-range" cards?

    IMO as long as there are consoles, that is the real competition and price point floor. The % of people who will pay more than the cost of a console to play a game on PC instead of the latest flavor of Playstation or Xbox just isn't that big

    GTX285 aftermarket cooler... low compatibility? (looking for suggestions)

    even spending $40 on something that old and out of date is a waste of time. You can get a used rx 570 on ebay for $100
