Me personally, it Performed about where I realistically expected it to perform, but secretly I was hoping for a little more. Ideally, with the hype surrounding it, the 3080 was performing about where I would have liked the 3070 to be.
Who here thinks there's way too large of a spec and pricing gap between a 3080 and 3090 for it not to be filled at some point with a 3080Ti?
The 3080 seems like a solid choice but the 10GB of VRAM rubs me the wrong way, particularly with next gen consoles shipping with 16GB of unified memory...
Got a little bored and decided to do a little comparison. Took a couple H265 GoPro clips, did a bit of nip/tuck, added video stabilization and lens correction all using Cyberlink Power Director and exported the finished product using H265 as well. End result
3900x = 48 minutes
2x X5660's = 1h...
ok, so I thought I had a handle on the memory clock and fabric clock and how they are related, until I watched a Gamers Nexus vidoeo that threw in another clock, the uClock which is apparently a memory controller clock.
For the life of me I cannot find a reference to this clock ANYWHERE on my...
So I know there's no such thing as "safe" anytime you're increasing voltage so I use that term loosely. But I was in the mood to do some more tweaking and I managed to get both my RAM and fclk to run at 1866mhz but I had to increase my SoC voltage from 1.1 to 1.2 to do it. Wondering if i'm...
Curious how many silicon lottery losers like myself are going to roll the dice on a 3950x hoping for better luck and an additional 4 cores when they are released? I was hoping the next bios update would fix some of my issues with boost and exceptionally high idle voltages but everything appears...
AMD has released a new (non-beta) chipset driver for x570 definite improvement over the last non-beta driver. In addition to the Destiny 2 fix, I was encountering pretty consistent and annoying hitching in AC: Unity which has now cleared up and running as smooth as I would expect it to run on...
I typically spec out my PSU's so they are at 30-50% load in my primary machine, but over the years I tend to accumulate and acquire all kinds of hardware and every once in a while I decide to just toss together a "new" system from old parts.
The current victim is a 350watt Antec PSU serving...
Pertinent Specs:
ASUS ROG Strix x570-E Gaming
3900X
Kingston Hyper X Predator PC3600 C17
EVGA Supernova 750w PSU
ok, so i'll start off with the negatives first
The single biggest disappoint for me so far has been the boost clocks. I feel AMD really milked the meaning of "up to" with these...
I'm shopping displays and I'm wondering if it makes any sense at all to buy a G-Sync over a Freesync monitor today now that nVidia supports Freesync on 10 series and above GPUs?
I have various PC configurations using both AMD and nVidia cards. On the AMD side I've got a RX 480 and Vega 56, on...
I'm curious what everyone decided to go with for their Ryzen 3000 setups.
I ended up going with:
3900x
ASUS ROG Strix x570-E Gaming
Hyper X Predator Black 2x16GB 3600MHz CL17
Corsair Force MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVME SSD (OS/Applications)
Micron 5100 4TB SATA 6 SSD (Games/data)
EVGA 750 G3 PSU...
Over the last year and a half I bought a truck and Side by Side and have been enjoying my new "off road" hobby quite a bit. Also got a new GoPro to capture some of the outings, with that came a lot of time behind the screen editing and encoding the content.
As you can imagine, the encoding...
I just assembled a Ryzen 2700x system for my cousin using Corsair vengeance RGB 3200mhz memory and I can’t for the life of me get the memory to operate at its rated speed. We are running 2x16gb sticks. We are runnig a Gigabyte Aurus 470x gaming motherboard. I’ve tried the XMP profile but no go...
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a new desk. My current one is only large enough for dual monitors. Currently running a 24" and 27" and I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my primary 27" screen with a 35" ultra wide to use as my primary (center) screen with probably 24" screens on it's...
For the 2700X owners running at default speeds, can you please post your single core Cinebench R15 score? Also helpful if you list your RAM configuration.
I'm inching closer to pulling the trigger on a new build and #1 contender is the 2700X currently. Curious how it compares to my moderately...
I've got a couple of them. $800 shipped each to lower 48 via PP
Barely over a month old and have the original boxes
Thanks for looking
EDIT: One sold, One left
So I have a laptop connected via WIFI currently set to a "public" network, I need to change this to a private network, but Microsoft, in all it's wisdom appears to have changed the way we make this change in the latest build. I've been googling for the last couple hours but keep hitting a dead...

This guy has served me well for many years, recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro. It will come with a clean install of OS X Sierra. A couple keys have visible wear on them (see photos), Battery still holds a good charge (see photos). It will include retail box, power adapter and of...
Looking for a 1156 board. Something with a BIOS that allows me to overclock/over-volt so anything from HP, Dell, Intel, Supermicro probably won't work. I've checked ebay and probably >80% of their 1156 boards fit into this category while the remaining ones are either over-priced or of...

Selling as a combos. Both boards have had their BIOS updated to work with either CPU, so take your pics. $30 shipped for one combo, $55 shipped for...

This was being used in my home/media server up until about a month ago. Includes IO shield and I can toss in a couple sata cables if you need them.
Got an orphaned i5 2500 here and looking to buy a decent Z68/Z77 board to go with it. If you've got a working one collecting dust, I can provide a good home for it.
Thanks!
Recently acquired a Dell OptiPlex with an i5 2500 and with that I have (almost) enough spare parts laying around to build a PC to donate to a buddy of mine. He would still need a board since the dell board isn't ideal with it's proprietary front panel connections and the fact that it spins the...
