    Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G initial thoughts and question

    I have replaced factory thermal paste with Kryonaut thermal paste. It improved temps 3 - 4 C. Thermal paste was positioned well and making good contact contact with vrams and vrms.

    Cyberpunk is Available - Lets share how your GPU/CPU is performing

    Not seeing a significant difference on my computer. I loaded same save and drove around on bike for a bit to compare. FPS were very similar (I did not record min, max, and average). I used Afterburner to display FPS. I looked at log file after and it seemed mostly successful loading. The only...

    Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G initial thoughts and question

    The fans on my RTX 3060 Ti are not running when I'm idle but as a said they ramp up very quickly when I start a game. Once I hit about 77C the fans on card are running at 100%. With my RTX 2060 Super I only hit 68C at load with the same case and setup. Our house is at about 68F (or 20C). I have...

    Silverstone MS12. NVMe M.2 SSD enclosure with up to 20Gbps transfer speeds.

    Anyone else interested in this? It has the ASMedia ASM2364 controller. Not available yet but it sure seems like a good use for the 1TB NVMe SSD I'm not using. I have a 20 Gbps PCI-e card. I believe ASUS was also working on an enclosure like this but don't think it ever came to market...

    Need a New Video Card, and Quistion about GeForce GTX 1660 Ti pricing???

    The GTX 1660 Ti is a great choice at $300 but finding one at that price is very unlikely. All graphics cards are in short supply and prices are high. The ones you see at Newegg at about $300 are not in stock. Hard to say what to do. If you can stretch your budget the RTX 3060 Ti would be the...

    Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G initial thoughts and question

    Thanks for the reply. My fan is ramping up to 100% fairly quickly. I just checked and it ramps up to about 94% at 55C and at 70C the fan is at 97%. Shortly after that it goes up 100%. When I'm at load in Cyberpunk 2077 it is now at about 83 - 84 C and 100% fan. I have changed thermal paste to...

    Cyberpunk is Available - Lets share how your GPU/CPU is performing

    I agree for the most part with what you and madpistol are saying but not the best game ever. That would go to Half-Life 2 in my book. That game rocked my world when it came out. Cyberpunk 2077 is probably in my top 5 though. Other games I put in the same category include Bioshock, The Witcher 3...

    Cyberpunk is Available - Lets share how your GPU/CPU is performing

    While there are some bugs in the game, for me it is playing much better now than on release day. The main issues for me now are the very infrequent floating objects. I'm overall very happy with the game. I have not enjoyed a game this much for several years. I'm on my second play through.

    Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G initial thoughts and question

    Fractal Design Define 7 Case. Not the best airflow case but when I game I open the front door which improves flow considerably. I have 2 Noctua 140mm fans coming in and 2 Noctua 140mm fans coming out. I have never replaced thermal paste on a graphics card but I have done many cpus. I'm...

    Further information on this. I found a review of this specific card on overclock3d. They had a maximum temp of 67C after 30 minutes of stress test on this card. My max temp is 87C so my card is running 20C hotter than the card reviewed. They also got a maximum actual boost speed of 1,965 MHz...

I have a 5600X/3060ti and I'm running at 1440p. There is a significant boost at "Balanced" and "Performance" on...

    Coming back to this hoping that someone has this card. Does anyone have a Gigabtte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G? What kind of temps are you getting? When I have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 the GPU generally runs in the mid 80s C (hottest was 87C). The fan in generally running over 90%. I figure the...

    Cyberpunk is Available - Lets share how your GPU/CPU is performing

    Getting about 47-50 fps on my setup. Running at 1440p on Ryzen 5600X and RTX 3060 Ti. Running at highest settings except Screen Space Reflection Quality which is set at Ultra and Ray-Traced Lighting which is set to Ultra. DLSS is set to Auto. Fun game!

    I believe airflow is good. Motherboard temp at idle is about 30 C. I have 2 Noctua 140mm fans coming in and 2 Noctua 140mm fans coming out. I got 68 C with my 2060 Super at load and this appears to be typical.

    I got my Gigabtte RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8G today and I'm impressed. Coming from a EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER SC ULTRA GAMING card. I have only played one game so far but there was some serious improvements. I'm running at 1440p and in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War with max settings and I went...

    Fractal Design Define 7 question.

    I plan on replacing my Define R5 with a Define 7. If anyone has the 7 could you measure the distance from the rear of the case to the front of the front feet? I'm trying to figure out if the case depth/length is too large for where I plan on putting it. The R5 works but just. The 7 is about an...

    Call of Duty Black Ops 4

    I installed this last night and I have only a few hours in but I'm having a lot of fun. Most fun playing a COD game in years. It is running very well for me at 1440p and maxed out graphics. Not trying to start a flame war but is there anyone else out there that is underwhelmed by the graphics? I...

    Can I run Black Ops 4 on my pc?

    You should get 30 - 40 fps at 1080p with mix of medium and low selected in graphics settings. Do a search in Youtube for "Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Gtx 770".

    Possible issue with high res 5.1 sound from Blu-ray movies with AE-5

    I agree with most of what you say. This exercise was more about making sure that the AE-5 could handle what Creative claims. I also learned that WinDVD is superior for audio from Blu-rays than PowerDVD. I absolutely can hear no difference when I play the two different audios of Baraka on my...

    Possible issue with high res 5.1 sound from Blu-ray movies with AE-5

    I know the outputs out of the jacks are analog. I was trying to determine why the AE-5 was not getting higher res output from the Blu-ray software. I have figured out quite a bit over the last day. Foremost, most Blu-ray movies only have a sample rate of 48kHz regardless of them being Dolby...

    Possible issue with high res 5.1 sound from Blu-ray movies with AE-5

    I have both PowerDVD 17 and WinDVD Pro 12 and I have a Soundblaster X AE-5 sound card. I have a 5.1 speaker setup I'm running from the 5.1 outputs on the sound card. When I play Blu-ray movies with DTS-HD I'm only getting 24bit/48kHz output. My expectation would be that I would get 24bit/96kHz...

    Which Video Card Should I Purchase?

    If money is no object: ASUS Rampage V Extreme LGA 2011-v3 Great mobo mid-end: ASUS X99-A LGA 2011-v3

    Which Video Card Should I Purchase?

    16gb DDR4 is available though expensive. I have never seen a dual channel kit. Why would you need that if you went with a LGA-2011 v-3 mobo? 128 gb is way overkill.

    Bad Bad Asus Strix 980? Random artifacts in Far Cry 4.

    I agree with DejaWiz. Update your drivers. Highly unlikely this is your card. I have been playing FarCry 4 a lot and I have never seen that. I have a GTX 970. I actually used this game to see how high I could overclock my card and I never saw anything like that. My experience with this game...

    Going from 680 GTX to ??? Need help deciding!

    I would say a GTX 970. Much better value for 1080p. I'm running at 1440p and I have great performance on all games I'm running. The 2 games I'm playing a lot now are FarCry 4 and Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor. The card I have (ASUS GTX 970 STRIX) also overclocks great to 1468/7820 without...

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    Very wise choice. It is still the best 1440p card out there as well. I, unlike some of the people in this thread, bought my GTX 970 after these issues were discovered. I bought my GTX 970 based on reviews and performance. The reality is that ROP, cache, and memory issues changed nothing with how...

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    I edited my other post. Not really really sure how the percents work with DSR. Is 200% (at 1080p) 2160p and not 4k? Edit: after re-reading your original post I get what you were getting at with the pagefile.

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    Did you only have issues running with DSR at 200%? If that is the case the performance issue is not related to memory. If 200% is equivalent to 4K I do not believe a single GTX 970 would be able to run this game playable with ultra settings at 4k. I have seen benchmarks at 4k with ultra settings...

    MSI Afterburner question

    I really like the MSI Afterburner application. Is there any way to change the sliders so that it has clock MHz and not the offset shown? Also, when I have my memory overclocked by 800 MHz (at 7,810 MHz) MSI Afterburner is showing offset of 400 MHz and not 800 MHz. Does anyone know why that...
