    4080 Super: New Owners Thread - Share your experience!

    So the 4080 Super went on sale today. I tried to buy the founders edition from Best Buy but it was instantly sold out. So I settled for the MSI 4080 Super from Best Buy instead and got a confirmed receipt for purchase. I hopped on Newegg to see if I could snag the ASUS TUF 4080 Super model...

    Would you buy your video card from AliExpress?

    I'm just wondering because I see video cards selling for significantly less on AliExpress. But the caveat is that these video cards are sold from China which increases delivery time to 2 weeks+ and let's be honest you're half wondering if the video card is some kind of knock off imitation. And...

    Why Nvidia doesn't feel like it needs to care about pleasing Geforce customers anymore

They will include slightly buffed CUDA core counts but more importantly increased VRAM, reportedly 20GB on the 4080 Super and 16GB on the 4070 Super variants. This is a much needed...

    Dell Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3423DWF $799

    Now available direct from Dell via Ebay for $799. If I hadn't already snagged a Samsung OLED G8 I would be all over this deal. But if you want to check out the hype of an ultra-wide OLED for under 1k, this is probably a pretty good deal. You can get them below while the stock lasts. Good...

    6950 XT vs 7900XT - What to Choose for Upgrade?

    Ok serious question, Black Friday sales are coming up and these two video cards are about $150 apart. It feels to me like the 6950XT offers slightly more bang for the buck even though it's a generation older. What I've found on Newegg is that the 6950 XT sells for just $599 versus the 7900XT...

    Radeon 6800 rumored to be 1.5x speed of 3090 for mining: Are we doomed?

    So I just heard this news from NotanApplefan... The new Radeon 6800 is a MUCH faster mining card than even the Nvidia 3090. 1.5x faster allegedly. When you consider that the power draw on the 6000 series is much lower, the price is lower, and the mining performance is upwards of 50% faster...

    3080 Ti speculation

    So the rumors are in the air. The 3080 Ti will be coming out soon to compete with AMD 6000 series. It's going to have more memory than the 3080 but probably less than the 3090. What I'm hearing is 20GB of DDR6X but with the 320bit bus of the 3080 but keeping the CUDA core count of the 3090...

    Who is to blame for Failed 3000 Series Launch?

    So as everyone knows by now only the very lucky few, or the ones who were willing to pay scalped prices have been able to get their hands on a 3080, 3090, or 3070 GPU. Oh almost forgot, the ones lucky enough to live near one of 8 Microcenter locations also were able to get them via the brick...

    Radeon 6000 series: Disappointing Pricing??

    Will the 5900X or 5800X be your next gaming CPU?

    So from what I understand Zen 3 makes an architectural leap that will provide an additional 19% in IPC performance. And from what AMD reveals this means that they finally beat Intel at gaming. Per the slides the 5900X defeats the 10900k pretty much across the board except for one scenario...

    So the new 2060KO is apparently a stealth 2080

    for the purposes of Blender... Game performance is the same but productivity apps are a LOT better. I wonder if it could be fooled into thinking it was a full 2080 by bios flashing and how that would boost performance?

    Ray Tracing Deep Dive: Is it worth it?

    Will a 10 series video card handle 2 different refresh rate displays with no problem?

    I'm thinking of buying a 165hz monitor for either Black Friday or Cyber Monday. My secondary display would then be my 75hz monitor. So will that work on my GTX 1080 to run 1 display at 75hz and the other at 165hz? Sounds kinda weird. Anyone else use two different refresh rate monitors and...
