I've been able to do 90-100+ FPS at minimum on my 1440p monitor with the 2070 super on most games I play, and honestly I play a ton of single player games anyway, so Idc about giant FPS
I'm getting close to that point, but I'm not quite there yet, but that's simply a function of what I play and how I like to play them.
As I've said before, I play big, sexy graphic intensive games at 3440x1440 with everything maxed out, ideally including RT. So while my 3080 can chew up and spit out most games, I still can't play the newest/biggest/baddest games at those settings and get 100+ fps. Not that that's an issue. I've actually used it as an opportunity to push through some of my Steam backlog, most recently playing through the entire Dishonored series. But it does mean that I'm currently putting off playing games like RDR2, the next gen Witcher 3 release, etc. To say nothing of games that are likely to come out in the next couple of years. Not that those games aren't currently playable for me, but I know the experience would be markedly better after one more upgrade.
I think the thing that's so frustrating for me about this generation of GPUs is that I'm so close to having my last GPU that I hold onto for several years before eventually upgrading my monitor to 5k2k. I thought the 4080 was potentially going to be that, and then they gimped the shite out of it while vastly overcharging for it. Had the 4090 (with less VRAM) been released as a non-obscenely priced 4080, I would have bought it instantly and have been content for years, as the current 4090 can currently play pretty much anything at 120fps+ at 3440x1440 no matter the settings.
So while I could just buy a 4090 and be done, I'm choosing to wait and play through my backlog as a middle finger to Nvidia (the 7900XTX, as great as it is, simply isn't powerful enough to be my "last 3440x1440 card", especially when RT is taken into account). Not that Nvidia cares about my middle finger, but it's all I've got

Anyone have an NZXT Streaming Pro PC?

I doubt it since most of us build our own

That fricking AIO installation should be criminal.

What, because the tubes are up?
Posted on 1/23/23 at 10:18 am to Joshjrn
Yes. That's an incorrect installation. SI's be milking fools.
The pump should always be lower than what you're cooling.
The tubes are up in a incorrect way.
The return from the block should be straight down. If not, have fun replacing.

I assume this was misstated, as the pump of every Asetek based CPU AIO is going to be exactly level with the part it's cooling: the CPU. That's not going to hurt anything.

Ideally, the tubes wouldn't be at the top of the loop, but it's not going to hurt the pump, as the pump is still going to stay saturated. It's likely to just add some noise to the loop, either bubbles, waterfall, or both. Not ideal, but not going to hurt anything.

Ideally, yes, but it's still unlikely to hurt anything.

It's a non-ideal installation, but it's not actually incorrect. Honestly, my larger objection is that outside of SFF builds, AIOs with 120mm radiators just shouldn't exist. More points of failure than a good air cooler with basically zero benefit.

Ok, I was pulling something different yesterday. I blame it on the breakfast in a can due to no coffee.
I was pulling up a 360mm rad with the loop up top with plenty of room to go to the bottom.
Now I'm pulling up this. And ya, it's mainly the cooler used.
My bad.

Haha all good. Which picture were you looking at? Now I'm curious

I've gone from downsizing my homelab from one server to back up to 3
Why do I need two 2 36 core/72 thread servers with 256gb DDR4 ram each? No reason at all, but my wife is going to love that power bill increase

Results look quite good for the first game with pcie5.0 nvme support Forspoken.
Now just let me buy one dammit!
Forspoken on PCIe 5.0 NVMe hints at the true power of Microsoft DirectStorage on Windows 11

Anyone in the market for a gently used 5600x? Just upgraded to a 5800x3d
Posted on 2/1/23 at 11:46 am to bamabenny
Ryzen 7000 X3D prices announced today
7800X3D = $449
7900X3D = $599
7950X3D = $699
7800X3D = $449
7900X3D = $599
7950X3D = $699

Just saw that. Not near as bad as expected. I thought $700 for the 7900 tbh.
Might go 7800X3D once the benches drop instead though early word is minimal gaming improvement for the other two even with more cache and higher clocks.

I don't mind that, hopefully by then I can get a pcie 5.0 nvme and do it all at once.

Kinda shitty of AMD. Considering the greater complexity of getting the dual CCD configurations to work correctly, there's zero reason to hold the single CCD 7800x3d beyond a money grab. Which makes sense from a business perspective, but AMD seems hell bent on giving away the good will that it spent so many years building.

Makes sense in business.
The peeps with the 4090's won't wait.
The rest of us, otoh...
