That’d be great since I plan to buy a 70 super
Does MSI Afterburner work with non-MSI cards? I’d like to check my temps sometime.
It does. I’ve used it for my last four video cards, none of which have been MSI. It’s a great piece of software.
Edit: Yes, it is freely downloadable by anyone.
Is it freely downloadable? I used to have an MSI card so maybe I could d/l it with those credentials.
Yeah, what he said. I also use it to underclock my fan so it’s not as noisy.
OK, thanks guys. I assume it’s from MSI’s website. Going to do it later, I’ve gotta get ready for work right now.

Bummer that it only supports a small number of games. Neat idea though.

FYI the new AMD driver did not install correctly on my system. I have to roll back.

With this version, AMD is also annoyingly jumping into wanting to be yet another launcher for all your games like GeForce Experience.

I’m really chomping at the bit for some news on the RTX 3000 series. I was hoping to upgrade my GTX 1080 to a “GTX 2080ti” until the price and performance details of the RX series came out. Yuck.
Same here. I’m hovering over a 2080S or something but really I’d like the 3070. Seems like that will last the next console generation while hopefully being fairly quiet.
My crossfired 480s seem happy to play Fallen Order (at 1080, granted). I can’t imagine I’ma upgrade any time soon, heh.
How far apart were 10 series and 20 series?

If the 30-series offers 2080ti performance or better for $700ish, I’ll buy it. Otherwise screw Nvidia again.
Yeah, then I could go for the level below :)
I think it was 2 years from 1070 to 2070. Next year doesn’t seem unlikely, unless the Supers are it for a while. How’s AMD doing with GPUs these days?

Well, the 5700XT is OK if you don’t care about ray-tracing and don’t have a hardware G-sync monitor. It offers around 5% under 1080ti/2070S/2080 performance for $400. But of course you could buy a 1080ti for ~$400 a year ago.
I have a 1080 also, and the 20-30%-ish gain from upgrading to 1080ti-tier performance isn’t worthwhile to me. I want a sizable jump, 50% or more, and only the 2080ti gives that.

Totally with you here. That’s the upper bound of what I can get myself to spend on a GPU and the 2080ti is the minimum performance threshold needed for me to feel like an upgrade will be sufficiently noticeable. Truthfully, I would hope that I could get general 2080ti performance but with a step up in the raytracing department at that price point. If they can’t deliver I may just have to skip another generation.

Really, they should offer 2080ti-tier performance for $400 in the 3070 GPU. But knowing Nvidia they’ll put it in the 3080 and charge $799.
Maybe they’ll see the new consoles as competition on one level and be influenced by whatever the pricing is there.
