8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

Random Reddit post shows about 2x the performance (even given a 1070 Ti is marginally faster than a vanilla 1070). :)

Question 4080 to 4090

Back when the 4080 was $1200 and the 4090 was $1600, I feel it was worth it. Now that there's a 4080 Super for $1000, and the 4090 is around $2000, not so much. Since you've already got a 4080, I'd stick with it until the next generation comes around.

Question Greyed out Microsoft Account check box...how to be able to toggle it?

I want to disable the nagging regarding signing into a microsoft account when I log out of my machine. Is there a way to enable this greyed out checkbox? So far my Google Fu has failed me.

NV Super refresh reviews

Very true now, as the performance gap is more like 30-35%. As faster CPUs get released, I expect that gap to grow. That said, there's nothing except maybe Cyberpunk 2077 with RT turned on that's not getting 144+ FPS (limit of my current monitor) when paired with my 7800X3D, so I feel like I'm...

NV Super refresh reviews

Yeah, I got it new for $1600 back in December 2022. So far so good. I do agree the 4090s available at my local Micro Center are $1850 and $2000, and at those prices the value calculations I'm using get altered drastically. The whole product stack across the board needs to get about a 30% price...

NV Super refresh reviews

The 3090 was a horrible value. The 3080 and the 3080 Ti were within spitting distance of its performance. The 4090 is a solid 50% faster than the 4080 in comparison. Even considering the price adjustment for the 4080 Super, they're about equal values given you're getting 50% less memory...

NV Super refresh reviews

So here's my take on this refresh and I expect the 4080 Super to be a dud too based on it having nothing more to offer than a few extra CUDA cores. Nothing still comes close to the 4090 I've had for over a year now and it's a weird thing the halo card is the best value of the whole 4000 series...

NV Super refresh reviews

The only card here worth looking at is the 4070 Ti Super, and only because it finally puts the 4070 series with a 256bit bus, like it should have had on day 1. The other two cards are still a horrible value and overpriced, just less so than the garbage that's been released below the original 4090.

NV 12VHPWR issues revisited

I think it would be good to have screw and optional bolt together pigtails coming off of these graphics cards. https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Connector-2Screw-Voltage-Bulkhead/dp/B07BK1GKG9?th=1

The computer is in my signature. The 5.25in two-way bookshelf speakers and 10in subwoofer are all Klipsch reference series, and they are hooked up to a Klipsch 100w Powergate desktop amplifier.

Discussion Tom's Hardware top 5 AMD and Nvidia GPUs

The 570 was pretty excellent at the time it was released. The 600 (ran hot) and 700 (less hot but not much of a performance increase) series were garbage. The 970 was pretty good as long as you didn't use more than 3.5GB of VRAM. Totally agree the 980 Ti was pretty amazing in terms of...

Question are video card prices headed down yet?

I agree about 2060 being a nuts at $200, but when a 2070S is comparable in most games to a 3060, it's not so nutty at $200.

8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

Reading through these last few responses, I want to chime in on the GPU to VRAM ratio comments. All cards will eventually struggle with GPU limitations at some point in time. However, the software technologies to give them a little more life or longer legs so to speak, also utilize more VRAM...

8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

Yes, at this point in time, let's call a spade a spade. All 8GB cards should be 16GB and all 12GB should be 24GB cards. The only reason they're not is because the workstation equivalent sales would get cannibalized if they put that much VRAM on all their gaming graphics cards. Maybe nVidia...
