    Yeah, as discussed this before ( >here) ...Intel's multi-tile Xe HPG has shown a lot of promise already, and it doesn't surprise me one bit that AMD and NVidia will follow suit; multi-chiplet tech just makes way too much sense, also from a production yield cost / benefit pov. Never mind AMD's design lead via years of multi-chiplet Ryzens and InfinityFabric. The 'connectivity' between tiles and making them appear homogeneous to the rest of the system and apps is really the biggest challenge, but one which looks to be surmountable As you know, I have been using the undocumented 'proto Neanderthal' tile driver (CFR) wherever I can with my 2x 2080 Tis...not quite the same thing, but full of promise already !

    I recently got Cyberpunk 2077, and initial tests with 2x 2080 Ti / CFR were not encouraging. I then went back to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (CFR) w/ an updated driver...forgot about that update and loaded Cyberpunk 2077 (4K native) - it actually worked for a bit in CFR, but then I tried to change graphics settings and boom, crash ? Still, this was an encouraging experience as I have been using CFR since last spring on other apps...hopefully, I can figure Cyberpunk 2077 CFR out. I can play that game w/just one (high-clocked) card at 4K / RTX max / (DLSS quality unless combat, then <> DLSS balanced). But it would be so much nicer to have CFR... even better if CD PROJEKT RED would do the CFR profile for us !

    ^^"I need sleep..." Are you sure, that's what she's thinking... ???

    ...like the car - and the dogs ! ?
  5. J7SC_Orion
    ...always been a huge fan of the original Bladerunner (though BL 2049 is also pretty good). Some Cyberpunk 2077 pics (4K Ultra / DLSS Quality) which practically 'phase-shift' me into Bladerunner ?

    @ENTERPRISE @Laithan ...a bit off-topic, though this would hold a heck of a lot of nvme raid cards, and apparently also has 2x U.2 onboard... From the 'pressing-your-nose-on-the-Porsche-showroom-window' file: Gigabyte's upcoming TRX80 Threadripper Pro board...up to 2 TB 8-channel RAM (!), 7x PCIe 4 x 16, dual 10 GbE Lan - and it's black/silver shiny ! source

    Fair enough...I have air-cooled, AIO, simple single loop and complex loop systems here...but I titled the thread specifically for complex / multi loops as the approach is a bit different when having to deal with over 1,100 W heat energy, multiple restrictive blocks etc in a build. Then there is the fail-over / redundancy I mentioned above for servers etc. Nothing wrong with a simple loop - I writing this post on one...all just depends on the use-case and number of components and their heat output.

    ...we still have 1.5 hrs to go here before 2020 turns into a smoldering, upside down mess in the ditch in our rear view mirror...Happy and safe 2021 everyone !

    We priced out an alternate solution at the office the other day re. fast backups: U.2 SSDs ..as motherboard vendors rarely offer those onboard, there is a little M.2 > U.2 adapter (older MSI video below). The question is whether that costs U.2 speed, and also whether it is able to work with PCIe 4.0... Intel's new PCIe 4.0 U.2 Optane drives are insane performers, and unfortunately priced accordingly, but there some good used PCIe 3.0 Optane drives to be had...more on those > here

    ...don't think they'll be getting less expensive, per Videocardz rumor (salt !) below. I also don't like the high prices, but it has to be said that on a per feature and per fps basis, there are some affordable cards out there that do the same previous-gen top $ models did (ie 3070) at much lower cost. Finally, as per current market shortages , there obviously is a consumer base out there willing / able to shell out $1,500 for a GPU. Mind you, some of the shortages are also amplified by supply / yield bottlenecks / miners etc. Also keep in mind that the price may have vendor provisions for RMA, given custom mods quite a few folks do with their brand-new $$$ card (shunt mods, 1000W bios etc)
  11. J7SC_Orion
    Can you imagine this applied to the (highly-binned-chiplets of the) upcoming TR 5970X or 5990W/X ? I can... ?
  12. J7SC_Orion
    ...love builds w/ Delta fans on Asus-E WS...'serious inquiries, only' kind of thing... ?
  13. J7SC_Orion
    ...everyone seems to either plan or already build ARM chips, even AMD apparently dusted off their engineering samples ...wonder what their legal departments are whispering into the ears of regulators looking at NVidia's proposed ARM purchase...
  14. J7SC_Orion
    haha, that sounds 'Psycho' alright and fits the story line perfectly ? ...speaking of 'Psycho', two more of my fav 4K RTX Psycho screenies...my 'V' likes to spend a lot of time being peaceful and looking for eye candy...
  15. J7SC_Orion
    When playing, I usually toggle just one setting (RTX max <> Psycho). The good thing about Cyberpunk 2077 is that you can change settings 'on the fly' w/o losing the flow. Also, RTX modes override many of the other settings:: BTW, picked up about 3 fps +- (all else equal) by kicking in the TR 2950X special NUMA mode...this only works on the 2-chip Zen+ TRs, afaik. And per @UltraMega 's post, yeah - SSD (or better) is a must...even wondering about RAM drive for CP '77
  16. J7SC_Orion
    Nice !...Are you going to install the 64Gb RAM on the Oppo Find X2 pro phone ?... ?
  17. J7SC_Orion
    ...'jelly making' isn't the intent, and fps are nothing to write home about with those extreme settings, but I can't get over some of the eye candy ? ...still, I very much hope we can get a NVL/SLI patch one day...
  18. J7SC_Orion
    @Mistio ^^nice ! After all that roaming instead of doing the missions, I'm finally on my way out of the Corpo hotel w/ the booty ? BTW, you had asked above about 'Psycho' settings ? I ran them in the Corpo hotel, 4K / high textures / DLSS 'Quality' / RTX full Psycho (apart from the last screen shot which is one setting below 'Psycho')
  19. J7SC_Orion
    ...got some extra 'free time' to enjoy FlightSim 2020 and Cyberpunk 77 (btw, no issues w/ 1.05 or 1.06 w/ CP '77). Also got a few Steam gift 'certificates' but haven't figured out yet which extra games to get... ...how about you, any tech gifts ?
  20. J7SC_Orion
    naughty but nice ?
  21. J7SC_Orion
    Best wishes to all for the Christmas Holidays, and for 2021 ! Stay safe...
  22. J7SC_Orion
    I still can't get over those lighting effects in Cyberpunk 2077 ?
  23. J7SC_Orion
    I actually got this game for the 4K eye candy; it may sound sacrilege, but my fav activity in Cyberpunk 2077 is to roam all over the place in peace...to that end, I have stolen quite a few nice cars already. When I drive through Night City and see a place I like to explore, such as a bar or a shop, I just get out and do my thing. Still, you can run into hostile areas then where you got to 'blasta' a few folks...speaking of which, I saw a lot of vids about 'skippy'; I shall try to find it !
  24. J7SC_Orion
    BMW's new grill aside, most beemers are fun in the Canadian snow...big pic below is only a few km from here...?
