I recently got the 3080 FE. My best 3080 score +130/750 My best 2080 Ti score +135/1300, this is 330W vs 370W for the 3080 Port Royal has larger gains

This is very similar to my results with the Scythe Mugen 5, max temps in Blender Open Data are around 75-78C depending on which scene it's rendering.

Nah because even the 3950X is overkill for me, I do some serious work stuff with my PC but it's not super CPU compute bound. Just had to have it.

Now that's an upgrade! The 3960X is almost 7x faster in some MT stuff.

The 12 and 16-core rumors are coming from basically three different people at this point. There's AdoredTV who has been talking about this stuff for a long time, APISAK who found the 16-core CPU show up in a benchmark result and then RedGamingTech who is the source of the 12-core 5GHz rumor. The...

The single socket EPYC chips, especially the EPYC 7401P, are really reasonably priced compared to intel offerings. If you need loads of cores and don't need overclocking those would be a good choice.

I just want to see some 7900X + Quadfire Vega novelty builds.

Yeah just don't use a 7900X as the CPU lol.

Content creation, encoding, many simultaneous VMs, rendering, etc can make use of that many cores easily. There are plenty of non-professionals who do that stuff. Few will want to shell out $1000 for a CPU but for those who do it would certainly be worth it.

I have a Titan XP and I'm gonna order a 1080 Ti as soon as the 3rd party ones become available, I might try this out just for kicks even though I have no plans on running an SLI config for any extended period of time.

Same here, I wish we had some more info about when the custom cards will be available, the stock blower just doesn't do it for me.

Personally I would wait for a custom cooler card unless you're gonna put the card on water, the stock blower is kind of loud if you're running it at max OC.

I'm pretty sure the "faster than the Titan X" is just referring to the fact that it has a higher base clock than the Titan X, if you overclock both cards I expect performance to be identical.

I'm gonna go with the 1800X, I'll probably wait until the initial BIOS issues and such are all ironed out first. It's a combination of throwing a bone to AMD for finally putting up some competition and the want of a true 8-core CPU without having to put down $1000.

This is an important point that hasn't been stressed enough, we've come to the point where each new node is significantly costlier than the previous one. FinFETs are more complicated to fab than planar FETs and as we go on to 10nm, 7nm, etc there will increasingly sophisticated and costly...

Same thing here, bought a 1070 and thought I would be able to resist any more hardware purchases until I replace my entire system next year. The Titan X release being so soon surprised me and I ended up impulse buying one a day after it released.

I've been folding for 4 days with the card now and I got my first really fast unit today, p11430 which got me just over 1.5mil PPD. I'm still waiting on a 13200 or 13201 which should show me the max PPD the card is capable of, somewhere in the 1.6-1.7mil range.

Looks like voltage tweaking could net a pretty good increase in clock speeds, guru3d got about an extra 100MHz with their special beta version of MSI afterburner that allows voltage tweaking. I hope they hurry up and release it to the public soon. Nvidia Titan X (Pascal) Extended Overclock Guide

Mine does +190 but will always stabilize somewhere a bit below 2GHz eventually under full load, it's definitely running into the 120% TDP limit a lot which I think is what's holding this card back.

The card shipped like 15 minutes after I made that post lol.

How long did the card take to ship for you guys? I ordered mine on Wednesday and I'm still waiting.

Welp I just ordered one, never bought a Titan before but I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, this should be quite the experience.

If your goal is to maximize profit margin then yes, but that's not the only worthwhile goal out there. The GTX 970 I would argue was released basically at a discount because Nvidia wanted to increase market share as opposed to simply making profit, and it worked wonderfully. AMD's market share...

Here is an article comparing a 2050MHz 1070 to a 1455MHz 980ti and a 1418MHz Titan X, I think that's a pretty fair comparison. When all of the cards are overclocked the 1070 is about 3% faster at 1440p and 1% slower at 4k compared to the 980ti/Titan X (I just picked which of the two was faster...

Yeah if the work can easily be split across multiple cards two 1070s would definitely give you more performance per dollar.

If you're OK with hybrid cooling this MSI card is the coolest running 1080 I have seen, doesn't even break 50C under load. GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X | MSI USA | Graphics card - The world leader in display performance MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X review

For what it's worth I think these are pretty accurate educated guesses given the leaked specs we have at this time, I guess we will see soon. The 1080 might be a bit faster than that but I agree that the 1070 will probably match up with the 980Ti pretty well.

My semi-educated guess (I'm an electrical engineer) is that you'd probably be able to get back most of the measurable performance losses by doing this, and it might be a worthwhile pursuit if you have a really high quality PSU and are comfortable working with high voltage electronics. It would...

Better power efficiency is something that everyone wants because that means that a card of a given performance level uses less power. Since there's basically a 300W practical limit on TDP unless you go with closed loop coolers out of the box like the 295X2, better power efficiency means that a...

Why would dumping x86 be necessary or beneficial? The CPU itself doesn't run x86 instructions anyways, it just decodes them to uops because CISC instructions aren't very amenable to running natively on a CPU. That's why they just add on more instructions all the time so x86 has a zillion...

Yeah I was a bit skeptical but I got the card today and it's indistinguishable from a brand new boxed unit. If it is used they had to have done one hell of a repackaging job.

If pricing were equal I'd buy the 780, but at current prices the 290 is the clear winner. I just got the MSI 290 for $270 brand new, that's a better than average deal but the coin miners are dumping these things for rock bottom prices.
