Usually if the bot is being triggered that means microdrops are happening, so it's good to pay attention to all the retailers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No one is sure if the CoD:MW Benchmark uses RT, if yes then that's really good sign and would put that RX 6000 series card on par with the RTX 3090, if not RT then it beats the RTX 2080 Ti (3070) in that particular game. Then Gears benchmark where it came up short but a few percentage points to the 3080. But where is all 7-10% BS come from. To me it just sounds like you're talking about your rear and not at least waiting till the card is here. We even don't know what SKU of Big Navi GPU that the benchmark, it could be RX 6700XT, RX 6800XT, or RX 6900XT. On DLSS' ability to achieve better fake performance for nvidia. I don't see what's so special about that? AMD has graphic upscaling through FidelityFX which has been available for sometime now for preferring gimmick upscaling over true image rasterization processing. I don't see why you would assume AMD Radeon team would not advanced FidelityFX further with Big Navi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Oooooohhh yeah, finally. the 360mm version of the Artic Liquid Freeze II CPU water-cooler has finally come back in stock. The Newegg listing simple disappeared, but its in stock at Amazon. Immediately snatched one up. Goddamn, and here in a week and a half, I'm gonna end up dropping $450 + taxes = about $500 on the new 5800X CPU I think I need to start putting some of the extra things I bought on ebay to make some money back. Like the second 011 Dynamic PCMR that I purchased. and, uh....that video card I picked up last month. Edited October 28, 2020 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Fucking finally. Corsair is now selling their specific 12-pin GPU cable for their RMx Power Supplies for the nVidia Founder's Edition card. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/12-pin-GPU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920274 Got one. And I think this may also be a highly sought after item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChupacabraIII 134 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 you spent 20 dollars on something that works out of the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want to have as little cabling as possible in that general motherboard area. Want the cabling neatly tucked in the crawlspace area behind it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,160 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 What games are you all playing? What settings/fps/resokution? I got a new PC last year. Dont listen to these fags that say “wait” because no matter when you ask about upgrading people will always tell you to wait. I don’t really play too many cutting edge games anymore I guess. Nothing that taxes the system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 wouldn't surprise me if "Smart Access Memory" becomes something that nVidia card can also take advantage of with a firmware update, and all of a sudden AMD's bullshit marketing gimmick is gone.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 On mobile so I don’t have a link (look it up) but apparently the 3080 isn’t enough to run Godfall at 4K smoothly because of the lack of VRAM. That’s a pretty bad sign considering that the new gen is only just beginning, who knows how much of a handicap it’ll be later on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Substatic 420 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Nice, got a 3080 TUF from Microcenter today, and for 5% off. Gonna try to sell this piece of shit CoD Cold War code if I can. I kinda wanted to try the whole SAM AMD thing though but I'll take what I can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
