Hmm, it would seem there are one or two nVidia Volta engineering samples out there already. Q3 2017 release at 16nm FINFET with GDDR5X? :tongueout:
EDIT: I don't think the 12nm or 10nm is viable just yet and HBM2 memory is still expensive.

That is the ugliest GPU I've ever seen I think

Our son would like a PC in order to play games. The availability of really cheap/free/good children's games on PC is far superior than current games consoles. I am going to use this opportunity to upgrade my current PC and put some of my current components into his PC.
I'm going to buy myself the ASUS Crosshair 6 motherboard and Ryzen 1700 CPU and give him my current combo of ASUS Maximus 8 motherboard and 6700k CPU. I want to keep my current hard drives as they are with my stuff on them and will obviously buy him a small 250GB SSD to keep him going in the meantime.
Building and setting up his PC will be straightforward and just like starting a fresh however I'm unsure about my computer with the motherboard and CPU swap.
The questions I have are:
Is there a way to do this where I wont lose whats on my current set of hard drives? I have 1 SSD for my games library, 1 for my media, 1 for my backup and an M.2 for the OS. My research so far says that games, media and backup drives will be ok left as they are but I'll have to fresh install windows on the M.2 because of drivers conflicts with old vs. new system?

I upgraded my CPU and motherboard (and GPU and RAM and etc. etc.) whilst retaining my hard drives. I had no issue whatsoever. The only thing I had to do was re-validate my copy of Windows 10 as Microsoft deemed the changes significant enough to treat it as a new PC (hence unregistered). As always, I would recommend backing-up the drives just in case. Sod's Law and all that...

What do you think of Ryzen @Silent_Scone ?

It's ok, been using it for a week. Not really an enthusiast platform, though. All the memory subsets are still locked down. I've managed to get 3500Mhz stable on the DRAM side. The 1700 for entry into 8 core territory is hard to pass up, though. The platforms just too quirky currently to recommend it on that merit alone

Holy s**t - the GPU is getting quite warm in there...
Interesting comparison to mine, there m8. Looks like the AIO cooler is doing it's job!
SharkyUK
ClioSport Club Member
Yep - certainly seems to be doing the job!
Thankfully it's only this benchmark that seems to push the GPU temps that high. Whilst playing games 'normally' I'm usually in the 60's and 70's.

Using the Strix now, waiting on the waterblock :smile:Outta the box on the STRIX:
Although, the cooler on this thing for an air cooler is monolithic. Haven't seen above 65c, and with a custom curve that's not the least bit intrusive (still practically silent), haven't seen above 55c
It's to be expected, it's not based on the same chip, GP102 is a massive GPU

So I have just read that 4k 144hz monitors now exist. f**k.
The moment those go to market (in reality I'll be able to resist a 27" one, but when a 32" model is available....) I guess my Amex will be getting a workout! Whatever the latest Ti card plus the monitor..

I didn't know that until I just saw what you posted. The ASUS one looks f**king awesome, however they estimate it will be $2000!! :smiley:
Do you have the FTW one Darren? That's the one I have and I'm MUCH hotter than you. I assume you have better airflow in the case?

FLOL! Yeah, pre-ordered three of the buggers...
(The truth is that I'll wait until @Silent_Scone buys one, uses it for a few weeks, and then sells it to me for half price...)
Evo 5 RS
f**k that I'm waiting for 21:9 variants. 144Hz 4K is still a pipe dream even with SLI, it's the HDR aspect I'm wanting to try

That's cool mate. I quite fancy a HDR monitor. Just let me know when the time comes...!

In December when the finance is due on this x34 lol ;D

Hi m8. I bought the EVGA FTW AIO cooler for it and fitted it to the 1080 FTW.Do you have the FTW one Darren? That's the one I have and I'm MUCH hotter than you. I assume you have better airflow in the case?
It's a bit fragile to swap over - putting screws into plastic is always a bit twitchy - but it's straight forward enough to do.
I used to get proper fan noise increase - when anything slightly demanding kicked in. Now I play in virtual silence in comparison. I thought the AIO kit was a bit of an indulgence when I bought it - but it's been worth every penny.

I'm officially excited for Volta now. Loving the changes to the architecture and the potential performance it offers. As impressive as Pascal is it wasn't a massive advance on previous generations of tech. Volta looks like it could shake things up a bit in terms of providing a new platform for nVidia to base their new generation cards on.

My body is ready
Yeah, if I'd been paid, lol.
Right, thought I would post this here. I've been offered 2 brand new unopened EVGA 1080Ti's SC2's for £1300. Both originally bought from Scan and come with 1 year Scan warranty and 3 years EVGA warranty. Anyone interested in going halves? £650 per card is £150 saving from Overclockers!

Good bargain that! Unfortunately I'll be sticking to my standard 1080 for a while.
Again, if this was after payday :tongueout:
Yeah dude no worries, let me know because if I have them I've got to pick them up tomorrow morning :smile:
EDIT: Unfortunately mate he's already sold them this morning. He's just text me but never mind. He said he's going to let me know this weekend if the buyer shows up
