Finally got a rtx 3070! Zotac twin OC at B&H
Did they have any 3060 Ti in stock?

Not sure. I’m in the discord’s and it worked this time.

So how easy is it to add ram? Just picked up 16gb from the store. Apparently 8gb isn’t enough for tarkov and is the main culprit behind my problems
Figured it out. That was a frick ton easier than I imagined

I'm still deciding if I want to go with that 4k 144hz LG monitor. My current monitor is getting a little buggy and I kind of want to make that jump lol

What cpu and gpu are you running for Tarkov? Always wanted to try that game.

It ran fine on my 8700k and 2080 when I played a bit for the first time yesterday

Ryzen 5 and an rx580. Only had 8gb of ram which was my big issue. Installed 16 gun last night and had zero issues.
I’m completely addicted to this game.

I've seen it a bunch but never looked to grab me so I never tried it out. May have to check it out again.

It runs fine on 6700k and 1080gtx as well, just dumb down the graphics

Steam hit a new concurrent users record on Christmas Day, and by a lot.

I was looking at eBay and 6800XT’s are being scalped for almost the same price 6900XT’s are being scalped. 6800XT is about $1100 on average while 6900XT’s are going for $1300-1400
I’m so ready for this drought to end. It’s fricking ridiculous that neither side has any answer for what is happening. Never should have released if supply would be this short.

It was always going to be an issue because TSMC does the fab for Ryzen, Navi, and then new PS5 and Xbox chips.
Supply will start to normalize, and it already has for some chips.
As for a Nvidia, the yields from Samsung weren’t great early.

The good news is it looks like the Ti or SUPER chipsets will come in early 2021 with the 7nm process. Curious to see how that will affect pricing all around for the 3000 series.

I gotta vent now...
I work in Electronics and seeing stuff like MY FCLK WONT REACH 1900 ON MY DDR4-3200 RAM...
Its like you do realize, DDR4-3600 is already overclocked right? DDR4 native frequency is 2133/2400/2666... If you buy a fricking kit that is rated DDR4-3600, its rated to work at the timings advertised by the vendor and nothing more.
You're trying to overclock something more than its already been overclocked, and the vendor doesn't guarantee functionality under those conditions.
And then they go blame the motherboard manufacturer like Asrock, Gigabyte, Asus, etc... Its like god damn, are you people fricking stupid? shite is infuriating

Is there a point in overclocking RAM? I have a 3800X and 16GB of at least 3000 speed RAM (can’t remember the exact speed) and the website I found to identify desktop bottlenecks showed even with a 3090, my gpu would be the bottleneck (assuming no overclocking). Currently using a 1070 until I can find one of the new cards, so that’s obviously my bottleneck now.
Posted on 12/29/20 at 8:58 am to Dixie Normus
Sure, to a point.
THe fastest RAM kits (overclocked from the factory) are probably the 3200 CL14 (in terms of price/performance), and the new 4000 CL16 kits (raw performance regardless of price).
I'd say the sweet spot for price/performance is 3600 CL16 which isn't much different from 3200 CL14 (maybe 2-3 FPS).
If you're just gaming, honestly DDR4-3000 is fine.

I see a 3070/3080 or 6800XT in my future

The laptop market is a damn warzone.
quote:
today AMD's Ryzen 9 5900H surfaced, packing 8 Zen 3 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 4.64 GHz.
This makes the 5900H a solid 25 percent more powerful in single-threaded applications and about 20 percent more powerful in multi-threaded tasks. This is in-line with the 19% increase in IPC Zen 3 has over Zen 2 at the same TDP, and we would put the higher single-threaded figure down to improvements in the boost algorithm: 4.64 GHz single-core boost is nothing to scoff at even in desktop solutions -- and this is a mobile part.

My vitriol isn't directed towards anyone on here
Theres a giant Gigabyte BETA bios thread on Tweaktown that people are bitching in about Memory (that is already overclocked) not running at faster frequencies and timings on bios' posted by Gigabyte that are BETA BIOS
