Thanks folks, I ended up getting both, lol. I have multiple gaming pcs in the house (mine, wife's, kids, guest). The corsair pump+reservoir in my custom loop literally exploded and took a bunch of components with it. I've had horribly bad luck with custom loops over the years so I think I'm...

I can get a 7900 XTX for $910 (XFX) or a 4080 Super for $1075 (Gigabyte). I game @ 1440P and don't really use ray tracing... though to counter that point I haven't really had a card that was playable with ray tracing on. I think I've hit a point of review overload as I've been down this...

There is some bad information in this thread. Airtime fairness does not change channel width. Airtime fairness is a queueing system. It allows the router or AP to give every device an equal amount of transmit/receive time. Rather than letting slow devices slow the entire network. Also...

Further to the point, Nvidia doesn't support GSync/FreeSync over HDMI, it is only supported over DP on Nvidia's side. So Nvidia is not running with FreeSync enabled if the connection is HDMI regardless of what the display may be reporting. AMD supports FreeSync over DP and specifically HDMI...

Odd, did you read the Techpowerup review? Didn't seem slower than a 1060 to me. Seemed faster than the Vega 56 with lower power consumption. Maybe I was reading the wrong review.

Does the Vega 56 not have the same power profile options as the Vega 64? Vega 64 and power saver profile seems like a win to me.

I have an Asus DC2 290 coming (should get it Thur) to replace my GTX 670. Anyone go from a 670 to a 290? Am I going to have a noticeable performance boost @ 1920x1080?

Thanks to this thread I'm sitting at 324 steam games.

Borderlands, some of the most fun I've ever had with a game. Still play it from time to time, really fun if you play with some friends.

Must devise new plans to hide these purchases from the wife, with well over 350 games in the library I'm starting to feel like a collector......

Steam allows developers and publishers to set pricing and availability based off a user's location.

Zotac sent me a different BIOS to try. I haven't found a game that throttles the card anymore at Zotac's stock settings for their AMP edition. However, with this BIOS just about anything you use to test stability causes not just the 50% throttle but the deep power throttle too so the card is...

You having any luck with this Jr? On my 3rd RMA from Zotac and now this card throttles at any speed above 738mhz (and this is an AMP edition so stock is 780mhz) core once GPU usage is above 48% (other 2 were RMA'd for other reasons).

Anyone notice that the cards now throttle in just about every stability test app? I used to use OCCT with check for errors enabled to test overclocks and then would just game to test at what got me no errors in OCCT. However, now OCCT/furmark/kombuster/heaven all throttle.

Yeah, not sure what the issue is. Time is correct, tried doing it from work as well, same issue. F@H works though......
