Oh okay so good to know that a channel like digital foundry would be considered just some random guy. :rolleyes:

Oh so you have been living under a goddamn rock? Well at least that explains it...

Let me talk facts instead of opinions. It is 100% fact that dlss 2.0 in quality mode looks better overall than native resolution while running better.

What a load of crap. I'm pretty sure my eyeballs work just fine and if I run death stranding at native 1440p it looks like s*** compared to running quality dlss. Native resolution has way more aliasing and crawling than using dlss quality mode.

Really think about what you're saying as you're acting as if the AMD cards are going to be right at MSRP and only Nvidia cards are going to be above it. As Joe Biden would say come on man...

Because it doesn't change anything at all and just allows Nvidia to have the same prices. I was hoping it would be another $50 less because it doesn't even beat the 3080 overall. At 599 it would be a killer deal because then at least you could justify it not beating the 3080 overall. And if you...

I'm not really understanding the pricing and to be honest I think the pricing absolutely sucks on the 6900 XT and is very impressive even on the 6800 XT. The 6800 makes absolutely zero sense of being only 70 bucks cheaper than the 6800 XT. And the 6800 XT trades blows with the 3080 yet is only...

There are probably only 2 or 3 cases in the last 10-12 years where that makes any halfway meaningful improvement by turning it off. And that was usually only if you already had 6 or 8 real cores. And the OP does not even have HT. EDIT: Just fired up the game and tested with and without HT on at...

I dont need to upgrade from a cpu point anytime soon. I was simply referring to the fact that you can have something better to look forward to around every 6 months with each company leap frogging each other in gaming which had not been the case. So if gaming is the main concern then someone...

AMD will have to have Zen3+ fairly soon because I have no doubts Intel will easily take back the overall gaming crown with Rocket Lake. And then they have Alder lake to contend with too before Zen4 launches. It is going to be hard to make decisions on what to get as about every 6 months we will...

I certainly would not go any higher than a 2070 with that cpu and really even that will be significantly held back in some games.

So when Intel had the lead in gaming it did not matter as it was "close enough". Now that AMD will have the lead nearly everyone will claim it "destroys" Intel. I think people need to go back and look at AMD slides as other than League of legends and CSGO the lead AMD has in gaming with even the...

Just so you know it made no difference using it as my main drive as it did as a secondary drive just like a I figured as again nothing else was running. In fact no matter what drive I test in this system it comes up well under what it should be getting in several tests. That goes for nvme or...

And just think only a couple months ago we had a person on here claiming that SLI has always worked great for them in every game. It's just hard to imagine that some people are that out of touch with reality and have deluded themselves that badly.

There is supposed to be a 1.11 update to the game today but I see nothing about an update even mentioned on Steam forums and I have the Origin store version and there is no update. "The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Update 1.11 is now available for download, for all platforms"...

The 5900x has 4 more cores. The 5800x is stupidly priced. I can't believe people would be dumb enough to buy that when you can get 50% more cores for just $100 more. And that's not money you're even going to lose because when you go to resell your CPU it will hold more of its value.

Yeah I dont like it either on the 8 and 6 core parts. FFS you can buy an entire Xbox Series S console that incudes a Zen 2 8 core cpu for same price as just a Zen 3 6 core cpu alone. It is funny that most people have no problem if AMD charges more if they are leading but call Intel greedy when...

All the downsides of SLI have already been discussed to death. Funny enough we probably still have a few delusional people out there claiming SLI works great for them which is laughable. Even many AAA games flat out did not support multi gpu at all and nearly no smaller games did. And of the...

I cannot stand the sound of the disc player making noise. It always drove me crazy on my PS3 and Nintendo Wii. I thought the PS4 would be quiet since even the disc games were downloaded on the hard drive but the damn disc player still made an annoying racket. And I hate keeping up with discs and...

Both the 3080 and 3090 founders editions have coil wine and this was mentioned in several reviews and I think a few people even uploaded videos of the noise.

Oh good freaking grief. At this point you just have to be trolling. 🙄

I thought this was entertaining....

Well I just got screwed by Rockstar today after installing the game on a new setup as there were no cloud saves even though I had them enabled. And last year all of my saves disappeared on my Steam version of GTA 5 when Rockstar had an update.

I tried both slots and the only real difference was temps since one slot has a heat shield. Scores dropped just a tiny bit on the slot with higher temps.

That makes no difference.

Wow did not even think of that but I did look at disc usage and had every single thing closed before running these tests and I consistently get the low scores.

I downloaded crystaldiskmark and anvils storage utilities to test out my drive and it seems lacking compared to reviews. My scores are on the right and you can see in some tests I am not even close. I have looked at several reviews and they are all pretty consistent and its just some of my...

Just installed my 8 TB Rocket Q. I'll have it half full by tomorrow LOL

Is there even going to be a 670x? I haven't even seen the single leak or a rumor in the last few months from any of the usual reliable sources.

You're going to pair a 3080 with a 3770k? And at 1080p?

It's just fine for certain scenarios. My PC is used for nothing but basic usage other than gaming so it's perfect for me.

I needed the 8 tb version as I am going to replace two 4 tb sata ssds. When I ordered if there was another $100 off so it was $1299 but then of course with tax it ended up being just over $1,400. That makes it the most expensive computer part I've ever bought...

I just want to make sure it gets the full x4 bandwidth and strangely I don't see anything in the bios either and I know some bios lets you choose between x2 and x4 for those slots. I would prefer to put it in the top slot since I think I don't have to remove anything to get to it although my CPU...

Getting a 3080 for 1440p 60fps would be borderline stupid. With the right CPU a 3080 is easily a 1440p 120 fps and above card. And even with the fastest CPU out there it loses 20 to 25% of its performance gap at 1440p compared to 4K. And heck I can easily get over 60 FPS in 90% of games at...

Hardware unboxed is the most inconsistent channel out there. Just the other day when this was being reported they were saying that they never had any crashes. And back when all the AMD driver issues were coming up they had a different story every week. First time he flat out said he had to...

I tried googling this and actually the responses are kind of all over the place plus I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to hard drives. Right now I have two SATA Samsung 4 TB drives which will both be completely removed for the installation of a single Sabrent 8 TB NVMe drive. So really all I...

So no time to really look at AIB reviews before making a decision...

Yes I even said it would be bananas overkill for most games if I was running at my native resolution of 1440p but I won't.

Again you need to read a little closer. I am at 1440p not 1080p. And again I'll be using DSR or resolution scaling within a game to actually run at a much higher resolution than that.

Yeah I'm sure you're real sorry about that. :rolleyes: Maybe actually read a little bit closer as I'll easily be able to push the 3080 in demanding games at the settings I will be using.
