Tech Gaming Hardware discussion (& Hardware Sales) thread

You're doing the equivalent of talking just to hear yourself talk.
You're doing the equivalent of a circle jerk with a bunch of yes men. If you don't see what is coming for years to come then your going to regret it by 2022 mid year. I don't need to explain the obvious if you don't get it. Get ready for expensive chips really dramatic price increases till more capacity and economic slowdown. Companies know people are will to spend 1000 dollars for entry level boards they will not miss that money. China could really make things really bad next year or two.

Rob with more dumb gif great job really hard work.

hard-work


Rob^^^^ If you look into it you would understand things are going to get sh$ty soon enough.
 
Its typical for the display to flicker when a new GPU driver is installed/initialized. Now it not typical for the system requiring a hard reset after such installation/initialization. He should run GPU-Z to see if the card is reporting properly to the OS, undo all unsupported display settings he has enabled(why is he even doing this?) and upgrade the drivers again to see if this issue repeats.

If it does repeat, only thing he can do is flash the firmware of the GPU. Now im not 100% if this will void his warranty. So it may be best to just issue an RMA.
Wait what? Why am I doing what? What unsupported display settings am I enabling?

No I called you out in your bullshit post. Everyone else agrees it bullshit.
The only thing you do here is just spam the thread with videos and stupid articles. Judging by the responses everyone else is getting tired of it as well.

Ignore him. It's G-Sync snobbery. The only thing that "unsupported display settings" could refer to is enabling Freesync for a G-Sync based NVIDIA card. In other words, his solution to the glitch the feature is introducing is to disable the feature itself: cure the disease by killing the patient. Brilliant! I'm sure you never considered that disabling the thing causing the blackscreen would nullify the blackscreen. Real IT support calculus, there.
 
@PEB, you really have to stop spamming the share button from your Google News "Technology" feed. Everyone's exasperated with it. You post all this crap when haven't even read/viewed the material you're sharing yourself, much less critically assessed it, and it's obvious to everyone in here, man. You're just cluttering the thread with clickbait. You find these headlines interesting, but apparently not interesting enough to actually read.

How many times do we have to explain to you that NVIDIA story is fabricated? The writer made it up out of thin air to garner clicks from gullible people to make money.

We've explained this to you. The retail value of video cards is through the roof. That means demand exceeds supply. NVIDIA themselves are charging more to their partners than ever before, and none of these partners can keep their video cards in stock. We're not just talking about the latest and greatest, either. They can't keep any GPUs in stock. That's money hand over fist.

Obviously the reason you don't understand this is because you don't understand what happened the last time. Last time, AMD blitzed out supply of previous generation of video cards because the most sophisticated foundry lines were overburdened, and couldn't keep up. That meant they cranked out RX 580's because this was actually just their refinement of the GCN 4.0 that the RX 400 series used which launched in June 2016. Meanwhile, their Vegas were nowhere to be seen. Even after the crypto-bubble popped, there was never a surplus of Vega cards on the market.

Contemporaneously, NVIDIA was content to keep cranking out 1060's and 1070's (launched in early 2016) throughout the tail end of the bubble in 2018 because they were complacent, due to the lack of competition from AMD, and were in no rush to introduce a fresh line. So when the bubble popped right before they did introduce their fresh line of RTX cards in late 2018, and there were a million 1070's out there, the demand from their partners for the older cards evaporated more quickly than anticipated.

Nevertheless, where in the blue hell is this revisionist history that it decimated RTX 20 series sales coming from? That was another silly fabrication. The RTX 20 series was the worst value NVIDIA GPU lineup at launch in history, and yet I still recall that it was sold out everywhere for the first several months after launch. It was a race for every drop. The surplus strictly affected partner demand for the older cards, and due to the relatively weak value of the RTX series, they ended production of those older cards sooner than expected to incentivize gamers to buy the newer cards.

NVIDIA doesn't care if the value of cards craters on the resale market. They aren't involved in those sales. They only care about whether or not their partners are still ordering. They aren't remotely close to fulfilling current demand for the RTX 30 series, much less building a surplus which could affect the value of a future line.

And that brings us to the next point. What have you been reading to think that future line is anywhere close to launching? Their current lines debuted just one year ago (NVIDIA RTX 30 series = Sep-2020; AMD RX 6000 series = Oct-2020). Even under normal circumstances they aren't anywhere close to a fresh launch in the cycles we've seen for the past 7 years. Meanwhile, neither AMD nor NVIDIA is in a rush to put out a new line on a more aggressive timetable when they're printing money with the current lines.

We're talking about someone who's a novice to Pc building. Do you not remember the three days of constant posts inquiring about nearly every step? I do, all of us were basically in a relay race handing off the next baton post for someone else to answer.

You seem to be the one who isn't paying attention. He made it clear in his first post about the G-Sync issues that it was G-Sync itself that was giving him issues, not his monitor, generally. His follow-up question about black screen also indicated his initial suspicion that it was G-Sync causing those issues. That's why he was looking for a new monitor. It isn't that his first monitor doesn't work. It's that if it doesn't work with full VRR support, then that isn't acceptable to him. Ergo, disabling the feature altogether is UNDER NO CONDITIONS an acceptable ultimate solution.

That's fine. He's already got a new monitor that doesn't experience the stability issues (which, btw, technically remains an "unsupported" feature).

Furthermore, seeking the sign-off of a forum of experts on every decision doesn't entail a lack of knowledge. It reflects the desire to possess that knowledge on a deeper level for each and every facet of building. It also shows he had faith in us. Perhaps we could reciprocate a bit of that.
 
Are you still running six intake fans at perpendicular configuration?
No.
Just to clarify I wasn't saying you're retarded. I was expressing how I felt. I'm very sensitive sometimes.

Any advice or corrections you have to offer will be taken in good faith btw. I just don't always understand-- like the unsupported comment, I just didn't know what you meant at first

Corsair is offering an upgrade kit to convert your existing H100i, H150i, and H170i to be able to use the LCD display! Downside is that it's $100.
 
Here you go jefferz, Madmick, Rob your fan has arrived go out and buy it.
