I'm all for plug-n-pray again, if it's bare-metal this time.

I would to see Newegg restored to its former glory.  Do they though? Microcenter is too far away and Amazon has its own PR issues.

Just a lot of software illiteracy out there in general.

Yeah, I reckon we will see a real tool for removing the crypto mining hash rate limiter very soon lol.

Or one to flash custom-modified BIOSes for Pascal through Ampere GPUs.

Windows has a problem that Linux doesn't have. It is selling uniformity and assurance for plug-and-play, and therefore is limited by how they build their binaries for release.  Too relaxed optimizations and specialized hardware end up sitting idle. Too optimized then low-end/old hardware just can't run it.  Linux offers various levels of optimized binaries, and then the source code.  It would be a support nightmare for Windows to attempt just the first offering.

-15C is impressive and +275MHz!

With their online accounts, they could have given gamers the capability (not just opportunity) to sell their old games 10 years ago, if they really wanted. Any online service could have done it. What a bogus excuse.

Must have been easy negotiating down to 69 billiiioooon.

Used to run 1506MHz at 1.274v on my MSI GTX 980TI with a custom-modded BIOS. Those were the days. Pretty sure it's the same Maxwell BIOS editor for non-TI.

Finally, non-volatile storage reaches DDR2 speeds!

The AI downscale is likely using a neural network trained to eliminate shimmering and edge aliasing, and thus needs the tensor cores to run. However, being a downscale process, you could probably achieve just as good a result by using spatial algorithms that do not need the tensor cores.

Honestly, when you're down-sampling, there won't be much difference between a source image that is 4x or 2x. Even at 2x, a simple fast sharpen filter would have been sufficient.

DLDSR is coming Friday at the driver-level, as new options in the Control Panel and the old DSR will move to a legacy section. DLSS will never be driver-level, because it requires motion vectors to be calculated by the game engine.

This results in extremely effective anti-aliasing but only performs well if a GPU has the extra horsepower to run at that higher resolution. It’s a good way to make older games with outdated anti-aliasing technology look cleaner.

It's really sounding like:

Render at 2.25x native resolution -> AI downscale to native resolution -> display

rather than

Render at native resolution -> AI upscale to 2.25x -> downsample -> display

What does AI downscaling provide in the former, that normal downscaling doesn't do? Proper edge detection for meaningful anti-aliasing?
It is unlikely to be the latter, because motion vectors or game-specific training would be needed.

welcome

Yay, more benchmarks.

Pic is too dark. Can't really see what's going on.

Anyone got advice for making the D5 pump last as long as possible in this combo unit? I've had a new unit grind to a halt in about 3 years time, exhibiting increasing vibrations towards the end. The replacement with a used D5 also grinded to a halt within a few months.  Is this thing just prone to vibration wear-down, due to its vertical orientation and inadequate load balancing? I've securely screwed the attachment holes to the case and placed styrofoam pads below the pump.

X5470 is absolute cream of the crop for this board. At stock voltages, I was able to run at 4GHz. With about 1.425v, it was  able to push 4.4GHz for benches.

*'s gonna be epic!

In space, no one can hear you collide.

Linear performance scaling with power consumption? That's stretching.

Yep, makes sense. So if they are halting production, does that make these replacements then like how the 2070 Super replaced the 2080, and the 2060 Super replaced the 2070 when it came to production? 

 

Also curious what they'll MSRP a 12GB 3080 these days. Isn't that what a 3080 Ti is really?

Drop-in replacement at $1,850 in scalper paradize.

As time goes on, the cool geekiness of these companies will erode away.

As someone who grew up with such a fascination with space, I feel like I should have been born 100 years later.

 

But then again, we could wipe ourselves out by then. So who knows.

It's all good. You're alive during the invention and adoption of OLED technology.

Feel so bad for the human body. It never planned to leave this planet.

So the planet is found or not found?
