    AMD Confirms Zen 5 will Get Ryzen 8000 Series Branding, "Navi 3.5" Graphics in 2024Z

    I'm most interested in running Distributed Computing projects on my host while also using it for other things. If I'm not gaming my GPU is running Folding@Home and I'm almost always running 28 threads of something like Universe@Home. I think a 7950 is the best solution for my use case, but...

    Best options for folding on multi rtx 4---- cards?

    As I've been thinking about it, if I were going to try to fold with 4x cards, I'd probably build one system now with 2x 4090s and use it as a learning experience - a benefit is I think you can get away with running dual 4090s on air in the right case, you don't have to worry about exotic power...

    Best options for folding on multi rtx 4---- cards?

    I didn't see any suggestions for power limiting the cards. Basically all of the Nvidia cards going back to the 980 have the maximum efficiency at 55% power limit +/- 5%. My 3080ti kicks out dramatically less heat at 55%, and bumping it up to 110% really cranks up the heat but adds less than...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Based on the 4070ti Super, it might be the L2 cache makes a larger difference than initially expected. Edit - to expand on this idea: 4070ti super -> 4080 super: 25% increase in L2 cache, 18% more performance. 4080 Super -> 4090: 12% increase in L2 cache, 13%more performance Probably need...

    Sweet, sweet music to my ears! :D Next year I'm going to begin the recruitment earlier and buy more hardware to try to pump those numbers even higher, as now there is a target to beat. Might be a good idea to keep some discussion going about software to track the race and see what we can make...

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    I read through the linked article in post one. It mentions apps like Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Zoom calls - all things that are very stationary, or contained within a single room. All the same tech for those use cases would likely be best served NOT in the headset to lighten it up and increase...

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    I have a hard time believing that we need 10-20 years. A 4090 for each eye should be plenty of processing power - I think the mistake at the moment is trying to haul the whole PC around with you.

    AI Accelerator Cards in Desktops?

    Like make Siri not pause my ESPN stream every time I get in the car to play “baby sleep white noise”? Seriously, I don’t care that I’ve played “baby sleep white noise” for 20,000 hours, there is no situation ever where I want to play it as soon as I get in my car.

    Just checked another WU - 15.4m PPD. I've got too many systems attached to my account for a clean reporting for PPD, but I've been around 30m ppd for most of the month, so I'm hoping the Ti Super pushes me up at 45m (ish) ppd by the end of the week.

    I’ve only seen 1 WU on it so far, so I’m hoping 12m is the low and the high is closer to 17m. I’ll know more once it’s had some time to run.

    Asus TUF 4070 Ti Super. The 4080 Super is almost certainly the better option, but if I waited I couldn't use the new hardware on the race. As it is, the Ti Super is dramatically faster than the 1080ti that I was using on that box.

    The contest, to my understanding, is team overall scoring. I'm tracking the Team Anandtech total output per day and I'll be posting in our F@H forum thread. If no one else is doing it, I'll probably post the overall standings somewhere as well, but I won't be tracking individual users personally.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Based on Tech Spot's averages at 4k, the 4070 S and 3080 are pretty close. Looks like if you want an upgrade from a 3080 and don't want to wait for the 5xxx series, you'll need to start at the 4070 Ti Super.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    The business side of this isn't hard to understand. If you're selling out of a product (including but not limited to Video Cards), make more. If you can't make more, raise your price. Keep making more and raising your prices until you still have stock - your product is priced appropriately...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Kind of annoying that they are releasing them from the bottom up. I'm in the market for a card to replace a 1080ti, but have by far the least interest in the 4070 Super. Would much prefer to see how 4080 Super inventory shakes out before having to decide if I want to drop down to a 4070 ti S

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Hahahaha- good joke. We all know that the actual price of the 3080 was at least 1200, because you had to pay a scalper to get one, or spend $600 of your time trying to get lucky. The crypto market set the price, and ai will continue to set the price going forward. We won’t see 699 80 series...

    AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors Launched for the AI PC Era + 5 series updates

    It might make sense for that one off build, except you have to pay for it every time you build a new machine. Presuming she has an existing system, you could just carry over the GPU from that into the new system and costing you nothing, instead of paying for iGPU transistors. I've been moving...

    AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors Launched for the AI PC Era + 5 series updates

    Yes, the 7xxx series has the iGPU. I currently have a 7950 sitting next to me with the iGPU disabled. It's literally wasted transistors - any use of the those transistors would be more useful to me than an iGPU. As I think about it, you know what I want more than Cache? Use that same...

    AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors Launched for the AI PC Era + 5 series updates

    I'd much rather they dump the iGPU and use the same number of transistors for a L4 cache. Would be more useful that an iGPU I'm always going to disable and never use.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    If I had to wager, there was originally going to be a 4090 super, and the 4080 super would have used those cut down China edition ad102s. Instead all that stock goes to China, so the 4080 super has to use perfect ad103 cores, and they just keep selling 4090s as is.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Not with a 256bit memory bus. Honestly, I was initially surprised the 4080 super didn’t use the same ad102 as the 4090, but almost certainly it would have ended up too close in performance to the 4090.

    Micro Center starts a GPU trade-in program

    Micro Center starts a GPU trade-in program

    Given the number of GPUs I have on the shelf I never ended up selling (despite the intention to), getting any money instead of no money is something.
