i just contacted amazon and got a $30 credit on my account because i recently bought this card for $399, it has been a few weeks so i am happy with that.
i do have a 6.4TB sandisc IOmemory card but i can't really get it to install all the way in windows 10, it shows drivers but i cant use the command prompts on it and when i bench mark it is slow like 700MB where it should be much faster, plus it sometimes prevent widows from waking up and...
thanks everyone for the advice, question about "windows storage space "
say i used that and later i wanted to separate the drives is the data still on there or is it gone like raid-0 when you remove 1 drive ?
i am not really looking for blazing fast speeds, so maybe gen 3 would be enough ...
so for about $300 i can get a 8TB drive in real world useage, i wonder how much faster raid-0 would be on nvme, but the real benefit would be it would show up as 1 drive in windows, so would easier to manage files i would think.
i built a new 7950x system and have a 2TB gen 4 c-drive, a 10TB hard disc, and some random 512GB SSD's in there, i really want a 8TB gen 4 nvme but they are like $900, so i was thinking of useing two 4TB gen 4 drives in raid-0 just for holding random files i use all the time, plus many...
a picture before i do first bootup/install of windows this weekend, after i get her up and running i will install my 6.4TB fusion io card and hope the drivers work with windows 10. and plug in the other drives in back of case......
thanks for the advice guys, i just wasn't sure if using 2 separate cables would pull more watts through power supply but i guess the card will pull what it needs, i have it as 2 separate 6+2 cables now, i can see it being better on the cables for maybe balancing the power delivery and not over...
i also posted this in video card forum, i was not sure where it should go, so delete whichever post ya need to........
so i have a new rx6800 card and a corsair rm1000e power supply, my question is the card takes two 8 pin connectors, the power supply also has 1 pci-e cable that has a Modular...
so i have a new rx6800 card and a corsair rm1000e power supply, my question is the card takes two 8 pin connectors, the power supply also has 1 pci-e cable that has a Modular PCIe Cable (8-PIN) (6+2)/(6+2) which means the non power supply end has a pigtail with two 6+2 connectors. the card...
new parts list but still choosing power supply maybe, the first one i chose in on sale for $100 right now but perhaps i should spend more ??

so it's time for me to build a new PC it seems as though the PC in my signature is acting sketchy and is still running windows 7, i think now is a good time to build new.
the only thing i will be reusing are some hard drives , SSD's and for no w my vega64 graphics card.
list of parts i have...
yep i have a friend at work who just got into PC gameing and built his first PC a month or so ago, i warned him to wait and see what the new GPUs would be and he had to get a 3090TI, not sure what he paid but it was way too much, sucks to be him now i bet, sure he has a banging system, but for...
so these slow down after transfering a certain amount of data or what is the draw back of no dram cache , i guess i should know this stuff but am kinda out of the loop.
thanks, here is what it spits out on my drive..........

turns out i did dis-lodge those 2 power connectors on the missing drives, all is well now.
i wonder if my scores are low because of my older CPU and running at 4.1Ghz instead of a faster overclock.
installed my card and had to use one generation older drivers in window 7 for some reason. also seem to have lost my 4TB drive and a 250GB older SSD from bios and windows, may have bumped a power wire or perhaps my mobo disables certain sata connectors when i connect card to pci-e slot, my have...
