just blow very hard at the gpu
so given the paste and all is good, I know my cooler's limits
i know yall have experience blowing things
just buy a portable ac and hook up a hose to the case
and 61 synthetic over long periods, I never get over 55C in games for long term where the GPU is realistically stressed
brb
evga uses the same coolers they shouldnt get above 50c is your ambient temp really high
theyre all made by asatek and the pump dies after 1-3 years
whos gonna use it for 3 years
my builds never had a part stay for longer than 2
my ambient was raised during those tests because I had two other GPU's in my PC's
but it's completely irrelevant
it stays cool as shit for a GPU
way better than ACX
also, some games I can easily get over 165 fps, some only 80, so the advantage of that monitor is versatility. When I have lower framerate but higher than 60fps, I'm not limited to only 60. Also, gsync makes frametimes even, so my 100fps is visually superior to 140fps with no gsync. Even with games like CS:GO, I can see a DRASTIC difference with Gsync on, I'm not unnecessarily exaggerating. I used the monitor before I bought it because a friend had one.
I was so impressed with Gsync that I had to have it, that's why I got it
worth the extra $ by far, have no regrets
also I got the monitor over half a year after the GPU, and bought the monitor expecting to upgrade GPU
since the monitor at the time was a relatively good price, I wanted it at the time, also because I was playing a competitive game that heavily benefitted from high fps and gsync at the time, so I bought it earlier on because for that as well
but I never run a 60fps average, so I am getting benefit either way, and honestly saying that getting a 165Hz monitor means should be able to run that on everything is retarded. The disparity between 100fps and 165fps is noticeable with very fast scenery/fast mouse movement, but in games even competitive is almost completely irrelevant. From my experience, having an average FPS of 90fps+ and 99th percentile no lower than 60fps is not very far off when it comes to experience as 165hz with 90fps 99th percentile. BUT this is from experience with Gsync on and extremely even frametimes, so maybe there's a slightly more exaggerated disparity, but you don't exactly have it to compare. If you don't have Gsync, you should go buy a Gsync monitor like mine to try it, you WILL notice it and after going to it, you will have no desire to have a non-gsync monitor in future upgrades @Autistic Dog
also you said the 2080Ti will likely be "$1500", well I'm gonna say it won't be more than $850 MSRP. Likely $799. Because that $1500 seems to be relative to the Titan V, since past 980ti and 1080ti have been a little bit more expensive than 50% of the Titan cost. First off, the Titan V is not a gamer-directed card, and will not produce the performance we should expect of the 2080Ti, Nvidia has considered arguments and demand for Titan to be a developer/specialist oriented card like quadro and tesla cards, and the Titan V is almost the equivalent to a consumer and practicality experiment. Titan from now on will likely perform close/slightly better than gaming flagship cards but have more tensor cores and such for certain applications that aren't for the average gaming consumer. Around the time the 2080Ti is released, there may be another Titan release as well and it is very likely, but it may still sustain the higher price/non-gamer orientation and won't reflect a relative price point for the 2080Ti itself. So, it's safe to say that the 2080Ti will be around $800 msrp at first launch.
So the speculation for $1500 is seemingly ignorant tot eh actual circumstances. good day/night. @Autistic Dog
its not
That's just speculation on inflated prices because of mining.
There is supposedly huge innovation with the Titan V and Tensor cores for deep learning and other arithmetic.
Some of these benches show huge performance jumps over the Titan Xp, multiple times the performance in many scenarios. Just as a support for my argument. I think the 2080 will be $700 and the 2080Ti will be $800, maybe $850.
It's possible because of slower progression with making more complex microprocessors that it's as much as $900 but right now all we have is speculation.
i think mining will just shift to use the new hardware
can i sli gigabyte gtx 1070 windforce 2x with zotac founders edition
im probably not i just wanna know
yes
it will just run at the speeds of the slowest card
ok
I'm assuming that nvidia is going to change the contract details with AIB partners, something along the lines of cards not being X% higher than MSRP, $1500 prices out 90% of users, unless this thing is literally double the performance of the 1080, then I'm not expecting it to sell. No matter what, though, this is just speculation still
@Bearchoyboi you can SLI any card of the same model. For the most part, you can match the same stable frequency with almost any version of the same Pascal model. Again, given poor optimization and lack of support entirely on many games, I don't recommend SLI, The best thing is a single 1080Ti. If you are still within return/exchange period with microcenter, the single 1080Ti is likely cheaper than both collectively as well, and if you truly do ever need more performance it gives you way more headroom in the future.
So let's say new Volta cards come out and the 2080 (not Ti) beats the 1080Ti, but at the time you already have 1x1080Ti, then you can get a cheaper second 1080Ti because of people reselling or reseller price drop.
theyre going to be 1500$ either way unless something happens to stop mining
as I said, nvidia is likely going to renegotiate contracts with vendors when volta releases
