Skillz, do you still want me to benchmark for you?
I have no issues so far but I am concerned about the news. I haven't had an opportunity to extensively test the cards beyond what I've posted so far.
Sniper Elite 4 results DX12 All settings maxed. average FPS is between 150 and 220
Well I got what I asked for with this build. All that's left is to decide what monitor I want to go with.
3071MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (NVIDIA) 43 °C
3071MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (NVIDIA) 36 °C
Speccy on idle, I have my Rad in a intake configuration so the exhaust can go out the back and cool air is drawn into the rad. Is this the best setup? I'm assuming it's either the top card from...
FPS cap for these cards is 287 in overwatch on ultra, temp holds at 86-87c. Is this good for these cards? I will probably limit fps to 120 for my current setup but I wanted to see how things went.
I am ready to start the benchmarks. Amazon has sent me a delay email on my 9900k. I will be giving the 9700k to a friend. in the mean time all is good to go.
the plastic piece came out in pieces and I dont have a soldering iron. this will be quite the learning experience. Where do I get a replacement plastic piece, and an iron?
I don't know what the hell I'm going to use it for now. It might last in the dock until the dock or drive dies of natural causes. Maybe a redundant backup? any way to make use of it outside of myself if there's no reason for it? I mean it IS broken technically, so I'm not going to rely on it.
IT WORKS IN THE DOCK! HAHAHAHA! okok gonna backup my steam library and see if I cant get it fixed tomorrow. if not I'll just buy a new one and keep using the dock until it dies or something lol.
I was trying to fit the second sata ribbon plug into hard drive number 2. FOr some reason I was unaware I was applying pressure to drive number 1. even without a clipped plug I tore the plastic guide right off. I didn't know that was possible. when windows gets installed I'll find out if it was...
9700k bought as temporary test processor. Will sell to any hard forum member when 9900k arrives for reasonable shortage price or MSRP. (paid 530 for it at current) bought it from a store though. Fuck it, I need to know if my gear will POST and I'm not waiting another minute.
is there something cheap I can get in a z390 board just to get up and running? I'm getting annoyed that I have nearly 4 grand worth of brick in my closet right now.
High demand? I don't know, I just know mine isn't here yet so either intel is lying, throttling production, or it's true. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Well I'm used to my current 4k monitor. I guess I'll see what linus has to say. Honestly though a larger gaming screen makes target aquisition more difficult. On the other hand monitors with shrouds look like crap. I like the traditional flat panels.
I've never BSOD'd on my previous SLI machine, again bought for the 4k experience. I either notice a performance increase of about 30% above single card, or end up on a game made for it and get easily double the normal framerates I usually do.
Last time I checked, games that don't support it...
