I'm hearing reports that the new firmware from a couple months ago fixed flickering but introduced stutter while using VRR. Anyone experience this?

You'll get lower input lag if you use an in-game framerate cap. Of course most games don't have one, but if they do use that before using NCP. You might still get some tearing at 143 because it's not perfect capping, so try 142.

This is exactly my interest in 8k. Not 8k content - I'll consider that a bonus like if I can run a very old 3d game at 8k or the odd 8k video. It's integer scaling of 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. Use 1440p (9:1) for the demanding games and 4k for those a bit less demanding.

2080 Ti probably has the longest reign ever as a flagship anyway at a full 24 months. Not counting Titan RTX of course, as that's a prosumer card. 1080 Ti had 18 months and that's also up there. Only thing longer is the 8800 Ultra which had 20 months before the GTX 280, and definitely was not...

If you take notice, Nvidia has not permitted higher VRAM options on their cards for years. Kepler was the last time higher end cards were allowed to have double VRAM options (such as 680, 780). Even then, they didn't allow 780 Ti 6GB to entice people to the Titan Black. Since then only lower...

You already know the answer to this. It's a halo card, one step away from Titan branding. My "argument" of die size as the primary cost is self-evident throughout all of GPUs. The 5500XT was the example because it is the only example of a card with a simple double VRAM option for G6. Do...

Nonsense. Chip size has always been the defining factor in GPU price. Get some perspective. There is only a $200 gap between the 3070 and 3080. Not only does the 3080 have 25% more VRAM, and faster (more expensive) VRAM, it uses a significantly larger and more expensive die. And yet it still...

Only someone true to your name would expect magical free double VRAM. Hopefully there are double VRAM options for a reasonable premium. We are at $500 8GB, $700 10GB, and $1500 24GB. Do you not see room for others? You don't need to squint to see those gaps. Also (correct me if I'm wrong)...

I think this is different perspectives. There is a reason Noko spoke about those who upgrade every 1-2 years being ok, but that others should be wary. 8-10GB until RTX 4000 in 2022 will probably be fine. You have 1-2 games now with possible issues (Doom, MSFS), expect maybe a couple more in...

That's not a thing? Not without designing a whole new chip (eg. a theoretical TU103). TU104 is 256-bit. That's it. You either cut it to smaller, or stick with the 256-bit.

TU104 is a 256-bit GPU. Can you explain what "adding a few lanes" would entail? I don't think it would be possible without R&D on a new chip or using a ridiculously more expensive TU102. They simply used the fastest G6 memory availble in mid 2019 on their second largest chip; I don't see how...

What are your thoughts on 10GB 320-bit 19 Gbs G6X vs 12GB 384-bit 16 or 15.5 Gbs G6? It's the same GA102 chip either way, and approximately the same bandwidth. I'd certain that per GB G6X is more expensive, so it at least can't be significantly more expensive. Unless there's extra work on the...

2023? I said " I can expect VRAM to be appropriate for a 4 year span on a $699 card." and listed what the 4th year is. And yes, the Radeon VII will be sucking it in 2023 but VRAM will have nothing to do with it. Which means the VRAM was not inadequate for the card.

I can expect VRAM to be appropriate for a 4 year span on a $699 card. It was for the $699 GTX 1080 8GB (I'm using it now 4.33 years after launch and 8GB doesn't fail at this performance level), and GTX 1080 Ti 11GB (certainly will be fine in 2021). 16GB will be fine for the $699 Radeon VII in...

They could have even done 12GB of 384-bit with 16 Gbps GDDR6. Would have been 768 GB/s which is comparable to the 760 GB/s it has. Or even save a few more bucks use 15.5 Gbps again (like the 2080 Super had) which 12GB on a 384-bit bus would use 736 GB/s. What is cheaper 12GB of GDDR6 or 10GB...
