The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

[GiT]

With the new AM5 range and Inter 13-gen showing up, I'm starting to think it's time to replace my aging i7-4770k. Mr Haswell is starting to feel a tad dated.

4090 being released today and these have come down a bit...

Good price, I paid a few hundred more 2 months ago.

Is the 4090 going to be a worthwhile upgrade over the 3090ti?

Yes

RIP You for buying a 3090Ti🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not really as it was cheap and I wanted to get on with it knowing I would spend another 2k in a few months time on the new generation of cards if worthy.

 

[N0ddie]

4090 is really only for those playing high refresh @ 4k. Limiting factor being they only went with display port 1.4 instead of display port 2.0 (As mentioned in that LTT video above).

This will not fit in my case so hope the proper 4080 or AMD's efforts are worthy.

 

[Krarl]

Let's face it, WZ runs like a heap of hot shite anyway so it won't matter what graphics card you have🤣

 

[N0ddie]

I can run at the 120 cap of my TV/monitor at 4k currently on Warzone (With everything maxed but with DLSS on quality). How much "harder" will Warzone 2 push it?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I'm tempted by the 4090 to do Cyberpunk in 4k with everything turned on. I imagine those into MS Flight sim will benefit too but in general I don't think there's much to gain at the moment.

With FSR on I was seeing 150-160fps at 4k in the MW2 beta so I can't imagine it will be pushing it much.

Aye, you need multiple DP1.4 cables with DSC for high resolution high refresh.

DP 2.0 will definitely be needed for the next gen after this.

 

[Daz...]

I’ll be sticking with the 3070Ti for a good while yet, it’s pretty well suited to my monitor which does 1440p @ 165hz.

Apparently AMD have said their next cards will come equipped with DP 2.0.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Need some monitors with it. After a quick Google I can't see any.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I'll let you know what the 4090 is like 😬

Uh oh. Wallet a bit lighter today?

Same. Couldn't get an FE though.

u managed to get one?

FE was sold out before it even launched 🤣

I got the ASUS TUF one as it was cheapest and I presume it's based on the FE PCB. So I've pre-ordered the EK 4090 FE waterblock too.

I could see the 'add to basket' on the nvidia site, clicked it and then it said not available. I do know of someone who managed to get one though.

Only one king. Had my order cancelled this morning as they've oversold it.

Overclockers by chance?

If you are desperate though:

No it was Box. They're giving me a discount code so I'll send them an email and ask for first refusal when they're back in.

£2k...

 

[Ant1]

Can’t find one anywhere currently.

 

[Krarl]

"LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON"

"Take it back lads"

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Can’t find one anywhere currently.

£12345 on ebay

 

[Steven103]

Look on the bright side, £2k would’ve bought you a GT 1030 last October!

It doesn't look much like AMD will be challenging Nvidia for the top spot with their new cards. I wonder how it will compare against the previous gen Nvidia series.

Underwhelming AMD Radeon RX 7000 performance estimate renders it incapable of competing with Ada Lovelace in rasterization and raytracing

Bilibili leaker Enthusiast Citizen states that the AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards will go on sale in December. AMD will launch only two flagship SKUs at its November 3 event, neither of which can outperform the GeForce RTX 4090 in rasterization or raytracing.

From what I've read a little while back I think the 7950XT is in the pipeline at some point? That might be the only one to come close.

Wonder if they're having issues with the stacked design and/or software.

 

[Geddes]

I'd download it manually from Nvidia mate - https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/driverResults.aspx/187349/en-uk

That's the one you want. When you start the process it'll give you the option for "Express" install or "Custom". You want to click custom and then there's a little check box saying "Perform a clean install". You want to check that. What that does is remove all of the previous drivers and install them brand new. I reckon that'll help with the blue screening.

Hi there, since i've done the clean install, it's been alright for a while but i'm starting to get more regular bsod. Most recent one was 15 mins ago. Do you think it might need another driver install or something else might be wrong?

 

[N0ddie]

New NVIDIA driver available to download.

The Nvidia is a mega power hog and is stupidly expensive, seems like a brute force approach to jam as much processing power onto the card and run it as hard as possible.

What error does it say on the BSOD? Is it a random reboot or happen under load or something?

Keep your phone next to the PC mate and the next time it does it take a photo and upload here

 

[Geddes]

it didnt cross my mind to take the picture like what i did last time, sorry. This time i had the bsod few seconds i was watching Netlfix on my pc @Wilkeh @R3k1355

Anyone who's thinking of getting a 4090...it's massive, just fits in my Phantek P500 with a front radiator on.

There will be a lot more room when it's watercooled as it's the fans and shroud that take up the space.

Tested it yet?

Only got it installed ready for later.
