last time good coolers are only like 100usd extra not 250 now

almost the same size as my msi rtx3090 suprim, and that suprim model is way bigger than normal 3 fan 3090s

but big gpu usually means big enough cooler, it should easily cool 350watts without aircond at 2000rpm fan speed

that's pretty sad, my suprim if play games usually around 90C VRAM temp, and my room temp is around 30-34C because didn't use aircond

that sucks, because it'll auto throttle when it hits like 108C VRAM temp

it doesn't matter until the card just suddenly decides to die, did happen to me two times on my gtx1070, got 1070ti replacement for free after that

if it from the box runs like ~90C then shouldn't be any problem, but if from the box always close to 108C then gg bad manufacturer's build or design

definitely gg mining can easily add another 20+c

erm no way a heavily OCed 3070 strix can match a cheap tier 3080, or heavily OCed 4080 strix can match a base 4090 at all

gddr6x has the advantage of being all cards with it has ECC, for non X version most gpus don't have ECC.
pair ECC gpu with ddr5 based cpu & motherboard with ECC, fuh dam nice

a strix 3060ti can't even match a low tier 3070 even when the gap is the closest of all 3000 series cards

iinm last year or two there's forumers talking about crap strix fans in this thread too

well 3080ti is still $1200 vs 3090's $1500, only $300 cheaper, but vram cut by half, no nvlink, and most importantly comes out a year later. By that time those who had 3090 already enjoyed for a year already...
if it comes out at the same time as 3090, then it's not bad to get the highest tier 3080ti vs base 3090 too, because the base two 8 pin PCIE 3090 cards were heavily constrained by the default 350watts limit (oc on own risk) and some base 3090 coolers aren't too good.

rm2649 for the strix 3060ti, meanwhile base 3070 was rm2399. A undervolted 3070 is way nicer than highly OCed 3060ti, way lower power consumption when losing just around 5% fps, and gpu became way cooler too. strix oced is probably using 250watts+, last time my undervolted 3070 probably around ~170+ watts, for the same performance

some ppl love bling bling big rgb and probably always watch their computer on their desk kek

i had to admit i do love looking at my suprim especially behind the tinted corsair glass although i put it under my desk and hard to see

I think alot just wanted the bling bling. Doesn't matter if it had the same components and vrms, just nicer cooler and rgb etc and ppl flocks to it. Would be nice if like this and priced way cheaper

currently barely any profit for 4000 series

most people who mine crypto mostly either using free electricity like their own solar equipments, for the heat during winter, or they run BOINC projects like folding with connection to crypto rewards on whitelisted projects, still no profit

gonna be cpu bottlenecked on some newer games especially ported from PS5.

but 5800x3d or changing to zen4 or intel 13th gen can kautim those issues. you can straight sell cpu mobo gpu combo i guess

even my 3090 kinda sad to see when it only runs 60-70% when my cpu is pegged at 90% on some games, but not many. Soon more ps5 based games will be on pc like forspoken, returnal, then hopefully my old cpu won't cry😂

playing forspoken for about one half hours now, fuh max VRAM usage i saw is close to 15GB.

okla max settings except effects like depth of field, DLSS quality at 1440p can get 60-70fps+ on open world place. No RT global illumination so some lighting looks weird especially indoor with windows

EDIT: the RT settings on this game barely does much, the soft shadows is blocky and not nice. So turned off both RT settings and FPS is now 80-100

people like to shit on this game but i love these more AA style games(even though budget is lol), less headache when playing. But for the price i guess it shouldn't charge "AAA" price for "AA" game experience lol.

Mine xbox game bar says "this version of windows doesn't support direct storage", loading is like 4-20 seconds depending on how much to load.

yeah win10

no idea about you guys who had high expectations, i like the story, short lore at first and the convos alot.
