    RTX 2080 Ti FE Escapes Testing by Dying After 8 Hours @ [H]

    After 2 RMAs on MSI RTX 2080 Duke card my wife's 3rd card now lives on its 2nd week. My own Gainward RTX 2080Ti I RMA'ed I got a full refund for, and I bought 2x GTX 1080Ti's again, they just work. I am not buying more 1st generation RTX cards.

    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FAILS After Gaming for 2 Hours @ [H]

    When it's an AIB card returned to the retailer, I will have no clue what "batch" I'll get in return. It might as well as be a new one from the bad batch. Also the Ray Tracing performance is really bad, much more so than I had initially anticipated. 50FPS at 1080 at Ultra in BF5 on a $1200 card...

    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FAILS After Gaming for 2 Hours @ [H]

    My Gainward RTX 2080Ti is currently undergoing RMA at the manufacturer. However with all those RTX 2070/2080/2080Ti dying all around I don't feel at ease potentially getting another card with error. So today I saw a weekend deal so I have instead bought 2x Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti Gaming OC, so Iamn...

    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FAILS After Gaming for 2 Hours @ [H]

    My Gainward RTX 2080Ti Phoenix Golden Sample finally got returned for RMA, it should arrive at the retailer tomorrow and I am curious if they'll just refund me. They have said that because of the many RTX 2080Ti issues they are currently not restocking those models. Also Nvidia are changing...

    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FAILS After Gaming for 2 Hours @ [H]

    Well my Gainward RTX 2080Ti Phoenix Golden Sample which I got monday this week also decided it wanted to be RMA'ed. Suddenly today wanting to game, it would display star flashing like artifacts in all different colours - looking like something on a christmas tree, and afterward the image would...

    GT 1030 overclocking

    Wow that's a pretty good memory overclock. My Gigabyte GT 1030 I tried overclocking to +600MHz on the Vram and it would run fine through 3Dmark Fire Strike, but in Unigine Heaven 4.0 I would get purple flickering stars appearing randomly in the benchmark. So I had to back down the Vram...

    GT 1030 overclocking

    Totally agree. I just pointed out that in some Oem machines from the likes of Dell, Acer, HP the motherboards themselves can't supply enough wattage for the likes of GTX 1050, GTX 1050Ti, GTX 750, not because of the psu used but purely the Oem motherboards not living up to specs. I've seen a...

    GT 1030 overclocking

    Also the 30watt power draw. In many small Form factor OEM machines, the motherboards though rated for 75watt through the pcie slot simply cannot power the gtx 1050 or rx460 cards and the systems don't boot. In such case a 30watt GFX will happily work.

    GT 1030 overclocking

    Overclocking is a sport - so I overclock EVERYTHING for free performance, it doens't matter if it's just 1 or 2 FPS - everything counts. I own GTX 1080Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1060, GTX 1050, GT 710 and also now a GT 1030 that replaces the GT 710 in a small Emachines EL1352 slim pc. The GT 710 I had...

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    Reputable sites only have a limited time frame and limited amount of games to test with. If you saw the test with a 1year time frame and 100 games you'd likely see another pictures. Reviews are indicators not factional truth about what you get at all times. You only know this for sure when you...

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    No you just wish it is like that, so you can drown your own envy. If you haven't tried 3 way SLi you really have no saying in this. 7 years of practical 24/7 365 experience vs a few reviews vs 0 experience - I know what I'd trust...nothing like the test of time. So we will live in our fantasy...

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    It went to 3 pages because of a completely ignorant claim like yours. Amen to that.

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    Exactly ! Thumbs up for one WHO gets it.:cool: Your claim for 90% of the other games ? do you own them all or do you just Refer to popular titles always benchmarked among reviewers ?. It's not about using the 3rd card as physX at all (why even bring this into the discussion?), but one can...

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    I already showed you before (look at what I wrote and the ocaholic link) and I already explained you THREE times now about the "70 to 80FPS claim". But you just don't know how to read or you deliberately ignore it, and that's your problem. I stated it several times but you continously ignore it...

    3-way GTX 970 or 2-Way 980

    You are still not reading what I wrote and why are you acting up like an arrogant **** ? ! I only said that the 70-80FPS boost would only be at it's best case scenario, but that doesn't mean its so in every game How come it's so different to understand that ?! I get this difference in e.g...
