time to put down the bong, dude. it doesnt matter if the card is red or green...measurable performance uplift over time at driver level is extremely common with new architectures, either in average fps or frame pacing. you botching the measurement of a 5% reduction in peak frametime value (or...

theres something you can do about it. there are dumpsters by the loading dock behind the store

breaking news, everyone: wet streets cause rain.

i just ordered a ton of stuff from home depot this morning. why do you do this to me?

wow, congrats lightning. which card did you manage to nab? i will say, to anyone interested in using tech drops discord - their notifications are good, but dont talk tech in the general chat. i got kicked and banned by the moron admin himself because i made the unfounded and incendiary claim...

i know this is a super late reply but i just saw this post. thanks for the correction - i didnt know that the supplied adapter cable was made from thicker gauge wire like the seasonic/corsair adapters. strike what i said about the FE cards in my prior post, then :)

3090 hits the 2x8pin wattage wall if raising power limit ~2%. if an aftermarket 3x8pin card underperforms in comparison by any amount in a gaming setting on stock volts, then its throttling clocks due to heat and you raise HSF rpm/waterblock it. in stark contrast, hitting a power delivery limit...

ill do you one better. i had my password saved (correctly), and evga wouldnt accept it because some time between last month and right now, they added special character/capitalization requirements that actually invalidated my password. i had to change it via the automated form, and i lost the...

i suppose it would have been clearer if i had said 'like the FEs 12pin adapter cable' which obviously restricts the wattage.

XC3 3080 only has two 8pin power connectors (like FE), while the FTW3 3080 has three. (2x150)+75 = 375w hard power limit, which unfortunately results in major throttling if OCing due to the ridiculously inefficient and power-hungry architecture the chips are the same, but there is a concrete...

i had a 6800xt in my cart at 12:51 but couldnt get past the final confirmation. sigh. im stuck on this 970 forever, evidently since you dont want it, you should sell it to me instead...thanks in advance :P

shes upset because she was screwed by EAs bumbling of her cancelled star wars game, & who wouldnt be? however, shes completely misattributing the nature of the issue & applying a somewhat logical extrapolation of a solution ~to her mistake~ the issue is western AAA publishers are wildly corrupt...

did a zen build in march when first gen launched. corsair dominator kit was $135, now the same kit is $145 (lol). just built a zen+ rig with ballistix elite for $130, was nearly $150 in december i believe? prices are definitely dropping due to chinas price fixing investigations, but retailers...
