Isn't that all AMD hardware?

Yeah meant for us early adopters ...

Never understood skimping on power supplies, it's always the one component I'd overspec. That said, things never quite seem to draw the power you expect them too, they usually come in under, but for a small percentage cost of the build why take the risk? I can't even seem to make the fan spin up in mine

I've had Corsair PSU's for years and they have never let me down. I always over spec. There is no replacement for displacement Currently running an RM850x

What's the latest with the 3080s? I saw there was a driver update, has it helped prevent the crashes?

Not seen anything yet but it's certainly an interesting situation if they are under clocking cards to stop crashes !

I've decided to hang onto my 2070S for a while especially now FS2020 is currently a bit of a dog and the next gen gpu's dont significantly increase the frame rate. I'm more interested in AMD's next cpu's ... I had budgeted for a 3900 but when I built my system I just couldn't get hold of one ... Hopefully their will be a 4000 series part with 12 or 16 cores with significantly higher single core performance. If not I'll probably fall back to a 3950...

Looks like my new build is settled - 5900X and a 6800XT.

Fingers crossed we can get them !

[Narcisus]

I'm really looking forward to a few evenings of AMD v Nvidia on Youtube !

I've pretty much decided to stay with my 2700S for the present but will probably swap out my 3700 for a 5000 series. Great times :-)

I wonder how long it will take DF to get a vid out !

Pretty convincing rumours that Cyberpunk will release quite soon. My 1080 doesn’t support ray tracing
So tempted to get a card that does but it would be too frivolous

Interesting wasn’t it supposed to be the 10th ?

[Narcisus]

Excellent What’s your Gamerscore now Steve I remember my Mrs comparing my 10k to your 40+ in the 360 days lol ! Mines gone up about 1k

[Narcisus]

That looks like a nice build. Have fun !

It's arrived...

Very nice. I'd be tempted to add an exhaust fan at the back but you'll probably not need it. Makes me itch to upgrade - mine was a pretty fine machine 3 years ago (still holds its own at 1440p 60) but there is just so much more cpu and gpu power available now.......

Trouble is although we have all that power we need a big increase in the quality of how things look before I will be able to get really excited....

I remember like yesterday my first 3dfx card and also to a lesser extent Riva 128 and TNT but after that it all kind of blurs ....

Things are improving with RT etc ... but imo there is not a massive increase in image fidelity between the 570 GTX I purchased in 2010 and my current 2070 Super.

I want a holo deck now damit !

[Narcisus]

I've just done the same ( after a large single malt ) and actually applied pressure to my left mouse button before shutting the pc down and going to read a book !!

Does anyone know if something like a Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity will fit in NZHT 510 and also work with Corsair CX750 PSU?

I think a 750 is the recommended so should be OK. Always nice to have a bit of headroom though ...

Cheers. I might upgrade my whole kit (still using i7 6770k) next year, but really would want an RTX compatible card for CP77...

Wonder if the card fits my case (NZHT 510) as that is newly upgraded.

Yay my case is on the list Thanks bud!

Great case it was on my shortlist last year but went with a Define R in the end ... Well... I would say you only live once ... BUT .... What will next year bring ?

Monty Python said:

Is it me or have the prices of all the 3080/3090 gone up?

No way would I pay over rrp I cant imagine a situation where I would be desperate enough to pay 200 quid or more extra !

Thanks £1800(!), but on the other hand probably a future proof card for at least 3 years.

0% Finance available lol.

So I bit the bullet and bought it... early Xmas present to myself I guess.
24 month 0% interest to soften the blow...

Let me know when you turn it on for the first time so I can see if the Tree lights dim .....

[Narcisus]

I'm looking forward to the next gen and what that will bring after the pretty amazing performance of the 3080 .... I'll probably wait till then.

AI and DLSS ... Realms of Sc-Fi only a few years ago ! Amazing times incredible to see these advancements standing should to shoulder along side die shrink and the speed of silicon.

I've managed to snag another 900 Euro 3090 on Amazon Spain this time. Lets see if it comes through

That’s a great price ! Will you have to pay duty on that ?

I have a 2070 Super in my PC and want to upgrade to a 3080 to improve my VR performance in sim racing. What’s the best way to actually get hold of a card right now?

Is this a wind up ?
