    Yeah I saw that but that's weight, that does not indicate a material change if these are like dri-fit shirts as earlier indicated.
  2. Sir Beregond
    Wonder if it will have built in OC support like AMD's does. Somehow I doubt it.
  3. Sir Beregond
    Oh if we are going back to Turing and RDNA1, sure absolutely everyone was caught off guard by how that developed. I was more replying to Pio's comment with RDNA2. Not sure what was to be caught off guard with on Ampere's launch. It was literally a continuation of RT with 2nd gen RT (3rd gen Tensor) and was still DLSS 2.0. The only weird thing about RDNA2 was how tacked on features like RT were exposing the "playing catchup" game AMD is playing.
  4. Sir Beregond
    It was more that that was AMD's first go at RT and it showed then anything else. That was Nvidia's 2nd gen RT so maybe it improved more than they thought it would but I don't think there was otherwise anything there to really take AMD off guard.
  5. Sir Beregond
    Impressive.
  6. Sir Beregond
    I'm not a fan of that material for shirts personally.
  7. Sir Beregond
    Oh these aren't regular t-shirts? Hmm...
  8. Sir Beregond
    I was wondering if something like this would take off at this level vs the Nvidia and AMD offerings. If these features become more universal within the OS itself long-term and become just as good or better than what we currently get, that will be interesting to see how DLSS and FSR continue and what they offer on-top of this.

    Great review and nice to see something live up to the marketing claims.
  10. Sir Beregond
    I concur. My Steel Series battery is excellent.
  11. Sir Beregond
    Mines not blue tooth, though has the option.

    For headsets, I am pretty happy with my Steel Series wireless (Arctis Nova 7 in my case), but I will agree with @The Pook and say quality headphones and a mic are superior in terms of sound quality, so just depends on what you are looking for out of it. The headset is certainly easier to deal with than headphones and separate mic, but headphones are definitely much better sounding than this Steel Series headset. That said, it seems like wireless is a priority for you, so certainly steers you towards headsets most likely. Quality headphones you'd want to keep a wire in my opinion.

    AMD Drivers

    Sir Beregond replied to pio's topic in AMD

    Is this just a thing with chiplet design? I noticed my 5900X idles pretty high too.
  14. Sir Beregond
    Oh I took off my power limiting. I just checked what it would do for one WU. EDIT: But Flux is correct in terms of why points dipped.
  15. Sir Beregond
    I mean specs wise, there wasn't really much of an uplift in...anything. Marginal memory speed increase from 22.5Gbps to 23Gbps, and only 5% additional cores. All worked out, means marginal uplift probably closer to the 2-3% range which is well within margin of error. Really all this release is, is a 4080 at $999 MSRP because for whatever reason Nvidia didn't want to just officially price-cut the existing model as probably some marketing tactic. Which is weird since they did the 4070, but what do I know. Edit: I'll be honest, a couple week ago I thought maybe the performance would scale up a bit better, but frankly the 4070 Ti Super launch last week dashed that idea. So I think this is pretty expected for the 4080 Super. Funny because I'd say $999 is still too much.
  16. Sir Beregond
    That was a lot of fun and really my first time really folding. Look forward to next year!
  17. Sir Beregond
    I dropped my 3080 Ti FE to 85% power which dropped it from 350W stock to 290-300W and only lost 11k points on a large WU (projecting 864k instead of the 875k at 100%).
  18. Sir Beregond
    I've seen this occasionally over the last couple months. A refresh solved it for me most times, so I never really thought anything of it.
  19. Sir Beregond
    Well, tried running at 50% power (about 150w) overnight and room still hotboxed and @damricadded another million between us. Back to full bore now, but not home so just hoping nothing crashed as I try to catch up. Hoping to gett some more 500-900k WUs to close the gap But based on last night will have to just shut down for the night again like I was before.
  20. Sir Beregond
    Lost about 1.3ish Million points yesterday in a random Windows update/reboot killing a 90% done 850k WU and another crash that I didn't notice for 2 hours. But got things running again today and starting to rack up some points. Nothing like a lot of you guys, but happy to be getting some points in.
  21. Sir Beregond
    CST is just UTC-6 so basically go back 6 hours from UTC end time and that is your end time. Mine is UTC-7.
  22. Sir Beregond
    Basically what I have now. An Interstate battery from Costco. But I think they reduced their warranty on it, so not as nice a deal as it was back then. Yeah that was the issue I ran into last week. It was -24F with wind chill and car was like nope, meanwhile everyone else in the complex seemed to be able to start their cars. So thinking mine is just too old at this point.
  23. Sir Beregond
    I don't know why but this image makes me think of the Bitconnect guy if you remember him from a few years back. Now just gotta picture Jensen..."Hey hey hey...." Yes, exactly. I'm all for busting Nvidia's chops here, but to call the 4070 a 4050 is disingenuous. 4070 is basically a 4060 Ti and the original 4070 Ti should have just been the 4070. That would have at least matched the precedence of the previous generation's slotting (minus the 3070 Ti I suppose).
  24. Sir Beregond
    Yeah I need to get a new battery myself. Died in the cold last week and then I looked up when I bought it and it was 6 years ago.
  25. Sir Beregond
    60-class, not 50. I'd say the 4060 is the 4050, the 4070 is the 4060 Ti. And the 4060 Ti is the 4060.
