Who is getting an Nvidia 30 series GPU ?

[486]

 

Wait is GTA V VR enabled ?

 

There is a mod that will enable vr in single player, but I was talking about big screen. You can go into a virtual theater room (or space ship or whatever you like) and inside is a gigantic movie screen. You can watch movies or put your pc desktop on it and play any normal game you like.

 

It feels like youre playing the game on a 300 inch tv that way

Ahhh gotcha !

Not officially, the mod is very good though.

 

 

It even works with the motion controllers so you can aim the guns. The only real issues with it is when you use the sniper rifles. The creator of the mod is working on that though.

That is sweet, you gotta love those modders.

I have tried VR, I liked it. Perhaps it is the old school gamer in me, I still love rocking the chair,keyboard and mouse.

 

 

I've played every VR game that I have so far just in my chair. Just never got around to mounting the base stations in the corners of my living room. Yeah I punch my monitor a couple times but whatever lol.

Who needs monitors anyway

 

Also it looks like Nvidia may be breaking its two year (or so) GPU cycle as its being suggested that Hopper, on the 5nm node may be with us in 2021, possibly to counter AMD.

With 2x w-cooled 2080 TIs rocking away on a 4K monitor, I haven't really hit a performance barrier yet, so if there's some additional confirmation re. 5nm Hopper in latish 2021, I might skip Ampere and go straight to Hopper

[Andrew]

I'm not. I'm using a 2070 at the moment and it's more than enough for what I need. Unless my 2070 breaks out of warranty, I'll be likely to only buy a 50 or 60 series card.

 

I have a 4K monitor now. I change my mind, I'll most likely end up getting a 3080 and I'll sell my 2070.

Sell it soon to make the best return on it that you can, Ebay FTW.

I would do that, but then I'd have the problem of having no GPU until the 3080 gets released.

You should do what I did for ages before the 2080Ti released when I sold my 1080Ti's....Rock some old school Quadro I had under my bed.

...so that's the monster under the bed kids are scared off ?!

 

Found some more detailed info on the (current) top 'industrial' Ampere, the A100...For 3080 Ti (and Titan Ampere), take out HBM2 40GB for 24GB / 12GB (?) GDDR6, take out a few tensor cores and add rt cores - and voila. Real question is what final configs they'll launch, also with an eye on big-Navi (also due in Q3).

 

All that said, by the time custom PCB cards are out and enough supply is available, we might be into Christmas holidays / early 2021 ? Hopefully, it will be a better release than RTX Turing was, and no 'test escapes' this time...

It is going to be interesting for sure when the true specs are released. Semi finished the new WC setup on my rig bar some tweaks etc which will better allow for WC GPU. Im hoping when its released the GPU's with blocks do not take too long to come out. Ha yeah fingers crossed there will not be broken cards coming off the line this time.

...WC GPU w/ D5 Next - nice...

 

One thing on my mind is the 400W power rating of the A100 'big' Ampere at ~ 1.4GHz. Granted, 54 billion transistors, 40 GB of HBM2 and all that stuff which likely won't make it into the consumer 3080 Ti or Titan versions. Still, with 7nm designs concentrating hot-spots, it will be crucial to find a really well-designed GPU water-block.

Yeah hoping it will work out. Actually interested to see if it effects the CPU temps any, will find out tomorrow.

 

Yeah could be somewhat power hungry, may be a die shrink but they are packing a tonne on that die, so decent coolers will be needed, another reason why its rumoured that even the FE cards will come in a 3 fan config.

[Laithan]

depends entirely on prices, I'm not paying >$1000 for a GPU lol.

 

^ This... the mining craze drove GPU prices up and we expect them to settle back down... if this doesn't happen it will be reflected in sales.

 

[ENTERPRISE]

Well the only reason I think GPU prices from Nvidia will settle a little is only due to the unknowns regarding AMD's upcoming GPU's. I think they will price a little more competitively this round compared to the Turing release.

[schuck6566]

People allowed prices to be driven up during the mining craze and still bought @ that price because of the "lack of supply"that was convenient for the card makers if no one else.Does anyone REALLY see nvidia LOWERING prices other than in a war with amd(as in the current intel cpu situation)? Without a competitor undercutting them,it will always be "Charge all the market will bear!" and as long as people continue to purchase the newest release simply because it's "the NEWEST release" and not because they actually need an upgrade,Nvidia will continue the practice of all the buyer will bear.

It is a ''Vote with your wallet'' type deal. That being said, even I am a sucker for this. I bought into the Turing for instance even though it was double the price I paid for my 1080Ti back in the day, all due to the cutting edge. Nvidia is a business at the end of the day, they know people will pay. Granted this time I am not going SLI any longer, I will still get a 3080Ti which I am already prepared for will be about the same price, maybe a little cheaper than Turing release. Guess it all comes down to consumer freedom, if you have worked for the money and have the money to have nice things...then I guess the majority of the time you will buy nice things lol.

[Laithan]

Agree... speak with Mr. Wallet.... Look at Doom Eternal, the kernel driver was removed... because it was hurting sales... nuff said

[J7SC_Orion]

...let's see:

 

NV 600 series - bought 5x (!) custom PCBs, yeah baby

AMD 79xx - bought 4x custom PCBs (oh yeah, custom Bios @ 1.38v)

NVidia 78x Ti series -( bought 4x PCBs, EV Bot, yeah baby)

NVidia 98x Ti series - (bought 4x PCBs, EV Bot, yeah baby)

NVidia 10x series...(pass, no thank you)

Nvidia 2080 TI custom w-cooled series, bought 2x, wow - love it !

NVidia 3080 TI series, what the f**k

 

...a fool and his money...to be continued...

Indeed, money talks. Related to that I found it funny that leading on from Doom Eternal getting rid, Metro Exodus removed it as well (all be it a little late in the game, no pun intended)

Haha...truth be told though, each and every GPU above ends up in a mundane working system after their moment in the performance sun, or at least as backup. Ever seen a new office intern trying to figure out what an EVBot is for :p

My GPU history is a bit disappointing. I went from nVidia 7200GS --> GTX 550Ti --> HD7950 --> RTX 2070.

lol, went from the old riva cards---> to ati---> to hd3450---> to all in wonder HD---> nvidia gt 610---> gt730---> HD5770---> GTX970---> RTX 2070 (I also bought a gtx 950 for my xeon build and a gtx 750ti for the wifes old tower for better video out put) Sadb part is I still have most of those except the 610 & 730.
