i used to have an 8800gt geforce but eventually i realized if you dont play video games on pc all you need the card for is hdmi hookups
Ever think about upgrading to a 1030? You don't even have to run cables to it from the PSU and EVGA makes one that's passively cooled.i used to have an 8800gt geforce but eventually i realized if you dont play video games on pc all you need the card for is hdmi hookups
A 1030 is so weak though the money might be better spent elsewhereEver think about upgrading to a 1030? You don't even have to run cables to it from the PSU and EVGA makes one that's passively cooled.
Either one would basically be an RTX 2080 Ti compared to what he has now.A 1030 is so weak though the money might be better spent elsewhere
And 1050’s are easily found under 100 on Craigslist everywhere.

Does anyone make a passively cooled 1050 ti though?And the 1050 ti is insanely faster than the 1030 also, 1030’s are not very popular and harder to get good deals on used locally.
So you can pay 75ish new for an1030 , or 85-100 for a 1050 ti and be worlds worlds better.

Not that I’m aware of, but he doesn’t need it to be I don’t think?Does anyone make a passively cooled 1050 ti though?
Nvidia recently announced their RTX 20 series of GPUs based on the Turing Architecture to much praise and fanfare however customers who were lucky enough to receive their RTX 2080 or 2080Ti already are reporting severe issues.
Users are reporting startup woes and severe artifacting with the most likely culprit being faulty GDDR6 modules incapable of operating at the default clockspeed that Nvidia ships their GPUs with.
With the sheer amount of reports it’s clear that Nvidia have avoided quality control before shipping with a particular batch, this could be contributed to the fact that Nvidia aren’t meeting demands of their early pre-orders with many orders still being unfulfilled. Leaving some customers no choice but to cancel their orders as there was no clear indication of their GPU arriving anytime.
For reference, here is Anandtech's review of the GTX 1070 Ti Founder's Edition:The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are right around the corner, though if you're looking to upgrade your graphics card right now, B&H Photo is selling an EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming (08G-P4-5670-KR) for just $349.99. That's the lowest price we've ever seen any brand GeForce GTX 1070 Ti sell for.
B&H Photo lists the card at $499.99, but there is a clickable coupon on the product page that knocks $150 off, which you'll see at checkout. There are no mail-in-rebates to fuss with, just an extra mouse click. Plus, it qualifies for a free copy of Monster Hunter: World, according to the product listing.
EVGA's model is essentially the company's own take on Nvidia's Founders Edition model. It uses a blower-style cooler and sticks with the reference 1,607MHz base and 1,683MHz boost clocks.
Interesting need to see price and benchmarks vs r3 1200AMD just released what is hopefully their last FM2+ socket processor, the A8-7680. It's probably Excavator
Speculated A8-7680 APU Specifications:

Never mind that’s fm2 not fm3.Interesting need to see price and benchmarks vs r3 1200
AMD & Intel still have contracts for ancient hardware that needs to be filled. I don't remember if it's TSMC or GloFlo that still makes 486 chips for Intel.Never mind that’s fm2 not fm3.
That is odd that they have a new processor for that damn socket , like WHY!!??!!
We still have a few products at work that use 386 and 486 processors that customers in harsh remote areas want to use due to simplicity of the systems over our newer stuff.AMD & Intel still have contracts for ancient hardware that needs to be filled.

NASA still likes to use really old hardware. Older CPU's are less complex so there's less things to go wrong and it makes them easier to harden against radiation. Hubble uses a 486, The ISS uses 386's, Spirit and Opportunity use a slightly modified PowerPC 601 cpu, and New Horizons uses a MIPS R3000 that runs at 15mhz.
It was bad enough that NVIDIA was already so quiet with the rollout about the change to the Founder's Edition cards as pre-overclocked for the first time (when those always served as incarnation of the reference blueprint).EVGA’s RTX 2070 XC Ultra gave us an opportunity to compare the differences between NVIDIA’s varied RTX 2070 SKUs, including a low-end TU106-400 and a higher-end TU106-400A. The difference between these, we’ve learned, is one of pre-selection for ability to attain higher clocks. The XC Ultra runs significantly higher under Boost behavior than the 2070 Black does, which means that there’s now more to consider in the $70 price gap between the cards than just the cooler. This appears to be one of the tools available to board partners so that they can reach the $500 MSRP floor, but there is a performance cost as a result. With Pascal, the performance cost effectively boiled-down to one predicated on thermal and power headroom, but not necessarily chip quality. Turing is different, and chip quality is now a potential limiter.
