By Zabojnik Go To PostNow you know how PS4 Pro owners feel, congrats.
lol
By Zabojnik Go To PostWhat did you upgrade to again? Smokey-tier? Hottest-class?
DELL UP3218K got a damn good deal for it. Wouldn't have bought for retail.
By Adam Go To PostWow flexing on us peons here
Said it before but living in one of the most expensive countries in the world means that tech is dirt cheap in comparison. Couldn't afford any of this if i were american. I pay more for meals than i do for a gpu.
Do you actually drive 8K on that thing and at what frame rates? Also how does W10 cope with the scaling?
i don't really game on pc anymore besides the odd match of fortnite now and then or i would've kept the old one. this one is only 60hz.
w10 scaling is pretty good but there are occasional hiccups.

Boy am I glad to have switched over to the 9600K and not the 9900K.
Can't watch, what's it say
By DominicanPower Go To PostWhy isn't there hyper threading on the 9700k?how else are you going to shoehorn the i9 moniker into your consumer product stack
Ray tracing really does add a lot to the overall IQ of BFV, and you definitely notice it when you leave it on for a while and then disable it. What you think Vapes?

I think I’m still on Win10 1803 and it’s not giving me the option to download 1809
By Smokey Go To PostCan't watch, what's it say
The 2700X falls behind an i5 8400 (still), the 9600K is around 10FPS behind a 9900K

You have to go to MS site and download the update program to your machine, run it, and it'll find the new version. At least that's what I had to do.
By Smokey Go To PostCan't watch, what's it sayJust getting around to watching this. Relevant graphs incoming:
Basically, if your GPU is capable of maintaining over 120 fps at your preferred settings, the 9900k starts to pull away. Anything less than that, and it doesn't much matter.
If I was at 1440p I'd still consider the 9900k. The CPU is still rather important there, but at 4k? It's primarily GPU. I could go with the Ryzen CPU as shown and not really miss out at 4k, but I'd still have a nagging feeling. Ultimately moving up to 4k was why I was alright with staying with the 4930k for the time being.
Upgrading to a second 1TB SSD, lads. The Crucial 1TB m.2 has been serving me well, but I'm running down on space. Just bought a 1TB 860Evo to go along with it. Future plans may include a NVMe and a 2TB SSD if the price continues to drop on them.
Yeah, I've been buying and recommending people buy an SSD for their shitty laptop like a champ. The #10centspergig dream is alive and well.
Nice. Might go for wireless headset + wireless mic combo when I get tired of the G933.

120 freedom trumps?
Zabo plz 👀
By Adam Go To Post120 freedom trumps?It's a fantastic headset mic, tbh, and being able to attach it to any headphone is fantastic for zabo and myself.
Zabo plz 👀
Speaking of wireles... Grado now has a Bluetooth headphone: https://gradolabs.com/headphones/wireless
E: more expensive than getting an adapter like the ES100 but is much more clean

By Zabojnik Go To Post120$ is a bit much, but considering Mod Mic 5 is 70$ … They can get away with it.Pretty much. Their profit margin is mad high but they are also like the only game in town, that I know of.
I'm trying to recover a laptop's HDD and so far it's not looking good. It gets detected by the bios and at some point I was able to browse the contents of it using one of the recovery tools that come with Win10, only once, but that's seems to be the extent of it. I tried a couple of data / partition recovery apps and they all fail to detect files / folders. Trying with another in-depth scan, but yeah, not looking good.
Any suggestions as to what else I might try?

Can you use something like gsmartcontrol https://gsmartcontrol.sourceforge.io/home/index.php/Downloads to get it's SMART attributes? Could help identify if its physical damage, which your inconsistency seems to indicate.
It's almost certainly a severe hardware issue. Nothing's getting through. The drive gets detected and is kind of spinning, the recovery software I'm running at the moment has found some bad sectors, but it's been stuck at 0% for hours.
Dude has some stuff pertaining to his company on the drive and is pretty pissed, mostly at himself for ignoring the warning signs, of which I'm told there have been many. Trust the failing Hitachi 2.5" HDD of your 6 years old laptop with important work data m8s.

but now you get the excitement of telling him how much professional data recovery will cost because he didn't back up anything
Already did, his answer was "... isn't there anything cheaper?"
He's a friend, so I can't really go full schadenfreude on him. :P

Air cooling for life.

Asus are geniuses. They take some of the best noise optimised 120mm fans, then slap a loud af fan on top of the pump to nullify any benefits of said 120mm fans.
By Adam Go To Post
But Smokey, Vapes, and me. :(
Given the inevitable price of it? Too rich for my blood.
Finally throws out the window that nonsense about the 2080Ti being a grand because it was replacing the Titan in their line up though.
Probably a TU102 with all 4608 cores enabled and 12GB of GDDR6 with some of the Quadro OpenGL driver optimizations and better FP64 performance.. for $3k. Really doesn't mean anything for buyers of the 2080ti.
I could be wrong, what Nvidia is doing lately with the TItans is kinda confusing.

Fuck a titan tho, the new revision to my case has me excited.

I’m on the V2 case at the moment but I’ll be going for the V4 once it’s out. Too many nice features to this revision.
A proper 120mm fan mount, better ventilation/airflow under the motherboard/GPU and the new all black riser cable. It’s so close to being a perfect super small form factor case. Just needs better case feet now.
New riser with 185mm short cable (like this https://www.sfflab.com/collections/parts/products/pcie-extender-adt) will drop retail price $10-$25
Adding 92mm fan mountpoint + ventholes under the motherboard
Lifting the PSU 5mm up to have more space for 92mm AIO
USB 3.1 gen2 Typ-C at the front
Adding mointpoints over the motherboard for 120mm AIO bracket to be able to mount a 120mm fan above motherboard

What about this? :/
Hardware Unboxed have been live streaming a 2080Ti stress test for 30 hours straight and it hasn't died yet.
83-85c consistent temp, boost clocks staying stable at around 1700mhz. I'm never going to worry about temps ever again.

By diehard Go To Postlooks like somebody added "BLACK" in photoshop
Yeah, I saw afterwards. I was almost thinking that Nvidia went too far.
By diehard Go To Postonly worry about GPU temps in regards to GPU Boost. You could worry about capacitor temps though.
What about CPU temps?
By Adam Go To PostWhat about CPU temps?If talking specifically about the life of the CPU, don't really worry about that either. High CPU temps can correlate to other things that will shorten the lifespan of components though, like high voltages and high VRM temps. As a super way-too-simple guideline, high temps will shorten the lifespan of capacitors and high voltages will shorten the lifespan of silicon.
