    Asus Vivobook random shutdown.

    I have a friends Vivobook X540B with dual core A6-9225, 8GBram (upgraded from 4GB) and 500GB HDD He brought it to me as it started shutting down randomly. It worked anywhere from 15min to about an hour before shutdown. I figured it might be the battery, so I removed it and indeed it worked past...

    System shuts down suddenly while gaming - board issue?

    I had the same issue, with a core i7 4770 a gigabyte board (can't remember the model right now), a 600w corsair PSU and a GTX 1070Ti. At first it only randomly shutdown or restarted with Warzone, so I thought it was a game or driver issue, a few days later, more games like fortnite, Crash...

    Happy birthday, Geforce Now

    Control sucks? most game reviews beg to differ, but ok everyone has their tastes, I do like it. Cyberpunk runs pretty well on GFN, it looks great even without RT. Weren't you the one who recommended getting a laptop or a switch?, now its terrible? I'm I missing something here? Limited one...

    Good luck playing Control or Cyberpunk on your old laptops, but hey if you want to bring new life onto them, guess what you can try? :D :D The game library has over 800 titles so I'm pretty much covered, yeah, I miss blizzard, capcom and many others that went away, and I miss installing games...

    Why would I get a switch? How I'm I supposed to play my current PC gaming library on it? I do game on an old laptop, wanna guess what I use to play on it? I'll give you a hint. It ends with NOW. I sold my GTX1070Ti because I got a little over $400 which is more that what I paid for it 3 years...

    I never said it's better than dedicated hardware. I said it can be an option on several scenarios. and can supplement your current rig. You don't like it and that's fine, more power to you. But your preference doesn't make it bad, nor mine makes it good. Again, its just a matter of personal...

    You should give it a try, not that it will change your mind, but still... gamestream is not for hardcore gamers, but its so much better than anything else in mobile gaming right now, also it serves a 2nd gaming rig for occasianal gaming (which I was using it for) or gaming on the go. So I...

    Yup, as recognized as the nvidia brand is in PC gaming, it not really well known as a streaming service. I've seen several gamestreaming articles/reviews where Geforcenow is not even mentioned. Still, 6 million users is nothing to sneeze at, I don't think stadia nor Luna has more users, paid or...

    The future

    This is the approach Intel is using with their GPUs. What's not clear for me is if the OS will be able to see al the chiplets as a single GPU. Not an issue for AI, inferencing or data centers, but huge deal for gaming.

    Sure, then it would need at least twice the ammount of shader cores. HBM? really? among other things it would increase cost dramatically. As the first desktop entry since the i740 (was there a i800 series desktop card?), it doesn't look that bad as an OEM entry level solution. I do have doubts...

    System crashing, but only when graphics card installed

    I had a similar problem with my GTX1070Ti, it would have random restarts while playing some games, particularly Fortnite and CoD Warfare. After a while there were random reboots on startup or a few minutes later. I tested another PSU and the problem persisted. Turned out both PSUs were faulty.

    A couple of questions on CPU threads and clock rate

    OP, let me give you an even easier explanation if I may. IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!! Depending on resolution, you won't benefit much if any from going with say a 6 core vs a 16 core CPU (or higher). So don't expect no where near even a 60% performance increase. And unless you have an specific...

    Should the 5700xt be considered one of the greatest of all time?

    Agreed, at least those cards made a huge dent on nvidia's crown. The 5700XT is an impressive card as it trounced Vega easily for far less, but its not on the same level as the mentioned cards.

    8 or 12 gigs

    Actually I think yet another "paper launch" wouldn't made much of a difference. I mean, they already did the RTX3070, 3060Ti and 3060. Its like painting stripes on a tiger. I've always sustained since the very first RTX3080Ti rumors that we would not see it until there were 16gb DDR6x chips...

    The RTX 3090 pcb is much more complex and much higher cost to produce. Thing is 16gb chips from Micron haven't even been announced yet. Don't expect them earlier than 2nd half of this year at best.

    The best nvidia could have done at least with the current RTX 3080 PCB design is going with 12GB It could have used the RTX3090 pcb, but then the cost would have increased a lot. There's a reason we still don't have a 20GB version yet.

    I think many people will feel confused. Seeing the model number and the memory size. I can see people getting the RTX3060 instead of the Ti because of price and memory size. Maybe not a bad thing depending on real world performance difference. If its like say the RTX3060Ti vs RTX3070, I might...

    and that logic actually makes sense for many people. Heck even some review sites are claiming that the RTX3060 is faster than the Ti version. :(:rolleyes:

    The RTX3060Ti has a faster GPU, it also has a bigger bus, hence higher bandwidth. Both of these makes it faster than the RTX3060 in spite of its 12GB. The RTX3060 should be fine for 1080p in recent games. Its supposed to perform about the same as a RTX2060Super. The 3060Ti is about on par with...

    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    To each its own, but for me TAA is far worse with apparent blurring and ghosting in motion. It depends on the game tough.

    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    Normally I would agree, but DLSS can look better than native rendering and adaptive shading is doesn't seem to alter IQ at all, specially at higher resolutions. Besides, DLSS antialising is so much better than TAA. I do like native res better, but I'm open to other options as long as IQ is not...

    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    I think we'll get there much sooner, but with a bag of tricks like adaptive shaders, lower precision rendering, dlss AI scaled textures and other AI techniques. The days of native rendering are coming to an end. You just can't push that many pixels by brute force.

    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    They are targeting upscaled 4k with lots of tricks. Granted nvidia can use DLSS now, but still. I also think that 10 won't be a limiting factor, heck not even 8gb in the foreseable future. Specially when (if) DLSS and DirectML become more commonplace.
