So I bought this card earlier this year, and wanted to learn something about CUDA, so I wrote this software to play with the Mandelbrot Set: https://github.com/mattsaccount364/FractalShark Free/open source. You can download the exe here...

This is awesome. Have you heard any updates? Also thread necro. I was just playing through Quake II RTX.

I've actively avoided looking up this coil whine sound - I imagine if I heard it, then I'd never un-hear it, so best not to look. Like MP3 compression artifacts, video compression artifacts etc. Ignorance is bliss. As an aside, I'm happy with the Gigabyte 4090 RTX I bought thanks to this...

I've got a tracking number as well - so far so good. It'll theoretically arrive tomorrow afternoon and I'm taking the day off anyway for an unrelated reason, so will just install it. I should have everything I need then since it includes the adapter.

Good call - I just successfully placed an order on newegg. What a pain in the ass. Do these come with some shitty adapter cable that'll melt so I can plug it into my existing power supply or do I need to buy one of those too? I ordered the GIGABYTE Gaming (GIGABYTE) GeForce RTX 4090 24GB...

Thanks a lot for the tips everyone - more-or-less what I figured, but good to confirm. And I'd not seen that youtube link before, so that might be worth a go.

Availability is, let's say, not great. Suggestions on how to buy one at something close to MSRP? Do you need to sit on some discord channel or something and wait for an in-stock notification? What does it take?

Tempting to buy something else. Scraping by with the 980GTX on a 3840x1600 monitor doesn't often yield the greatest gaming experience.

I intend to buy one of the 30xx cards, and have the LG 38GL950G-B.

Yeah I know - it seems kind of silly, especially given the resolution this thing runs at. I've been waffling about upgrading for a while, but figured the 2080 was released about 1.5 years ago itself. I figure I'll just hold out until the next big iteration and upgrade then. Maybe with some...

As a random aside for anyone looking, I'm still running a 980GTX and bought this monitor. It arrived last week. I knew in advance I'd not achieve the full refresh rate this monitor is capable of until I get a newer card, at least without compromising e.g. color accuracy or resolution, but in...

My machine is still going strong, on its second motherboard. I'd purchased in early 2012 and at the time, Asus's reputation was, well, "less than stellar." Has anything improved in the last five years?

Just ordered an S8 to replace my increasingly-dated and effectively-app-free Windows Phone (Nokia 928). We'll see how it goes :)

Huh, I'm in the same boat as the OP. Just saw the reviews of the new Broadwell-E. I'm underwhelmed. I've got my 3930K @ 4.4Ghz, 32GB, and a 980GTX. Hardly seems worth the bother of upgrading. Hmm.

Identified the problem. The Internet's coaxial cable was running through a power strip that has surge protection, like the one below. www.amazon.com/APC-P11VT3-Performance-SurgeArrest-Protection/dp/B0012YLTR6 The noise introduced from the powerline network devices appears to "leak" into the...
