I am just hoping for a nice $600 card that gives better than 2080ti performance.

4353

That would make me happy as well. My GTX 1080 has served me well but it can struggle a little bit on my ultrawide. I say struggle relatively – can’t keep up like it used to might be a better description – as anything much under 60fps starts to bother me, even with Gsync. I want a card where I can reliably play at 3440x1440 or 4K without frames dropping below 60 and without have to muddle with graphics settings. I play occasional VR as well, so I can use all the horsepower I can get.

Last gen, the 2080 was way too expensive for not much. The 2080ti would have felt like an upgrade but those prices were just ludicrous. I will never spend that kind of money on a video card, not unless I become independently wealthy or something.

Anyone know if there is an official list of games that are out that support DLSS ?

4355

I don’t think there is any official up-to-date list. Nvidia used to do news stories when new games had it added but now they’re mostly focused on DLSS 2, which around five games support. :)

But since v2 games no longer need specialized training there should theoretically be a lot more support than with v1.

4356

I wonder how much work is required to get dlss 1 games to support dlss 2

4357

If they support temporal antialiasing it’s supposedly pretty easy, but I wouldn’t expect to see many old games patching it in unless Nvidia pays them off.

4358

All I want is better VR performance than my 1070 gives. And not pay the world for it.

4359

Come on now. The world isn’t your one stimulus check. Why shouldn’t Nvidia just gobble up 1200 dollars like gold lines the streets of everyone’s neighborhood?

I know I know. Let’s ask AMD to jump in. I know, I know, no one wants to buy their cards, they just want to somehow believe they can exist as nothing but a downward price pusher that doesn’t’ sell anything to anyone.

4360

Hey if AMD gives enough bang for the buck in my two prime applications, I won’t hesitate a day.

4361

I hear yah. I switch between them often myself, although some here have actually wanted AMD to come in for no other reason than to push prices around and would not actually buy from them.

If I run into that mouse glitch again though… there will be hell to pay. I might actually buy one of those rolls of stamps Costco keeps threatening to sell me, you know, the ones that have so many stamps I am not sure I could use them in my lifetime. If I sent AMD a complaint a day though, I could support the USPS and let AMD know my displeasure on a daily basis.

4362

If AMD offers better price/performance I’ll buy their product. They haven’t done that for a very long time on the GPU front, but I fondly remember my old 5850. What a great GPU.

4363

I got tired of waiting for the Navi2 cards to launch, so I did the responsible thing with my Covid Pittance and ordered a 5700. And a Ryzen 9 3900X. Should be a decent bump from my 480 and Ryezen 5 2600.

4364

It’s not just price/performance but driver support. GeForce drivers do constantly break and re-break things but still work better than AMD’s ever did for me.

4365

I am waiting for the 30xx series so I can finally buy a 1080Ti at a bargain price! :)

4366

What model was it? I have a 1080p Asus monitor that is not always detected on a cold boot. The motherboard then switches to onboard video instead.

edit

Disregard. The problem is really with the motherboard or video card, not the monitor. The same happens when using a different monitor.

4367

In any event, it’s a VG248 QE.

4368

Interesting! Thanks for bringing Wombat’s issue up again @YakAttack . I bought a Gigabyte 2070Super last month and have experienced the same glitch on one of my displayport signals. After waking up the computer, my BenQ monitor claims its not receiving a signal. After unplugging / rebooting everything I manage to somehow get it going again. It’s happening about once a week, which is pretty frustrating.

Strangely enough its always the BenQ monitor, while my Philips hasn’t lost the signal yet. Guess next time I’ll swap the output ports on the card and see what happens?

If Yak says its the mainboard, perhaps we should compare those? I’ve got an Asus rog strix z270h with a Gigabyte 2070 super gaming OC.

4369

I’m on a 2070 Super and this has happened to me as well. Although not for sometime. What I found has worked for me is turning my monitor off when I leave the PC and jiggling the mouse when I come back to the computer before I turn the monitor on. Since doing that, I haven’t had the issue happen for me.

4370

So i was excited to find and order a well-reviewed 2070 Super card earlier today…

… but a few hours later I realized that my i5-6600 would eat around 25% of the FPS in bottleneck / mismatch, so I sadly cancelled the order :-(

Turns out that the zombie apocalypse is not a great time to spend the $1200 or so it would take to give my game machine a full motherboard / cpu / cooler / ram / video card brain transplant. So maybe fall or early. next year when the 30x0 series is out??

a 3070 sounds like it would be nice card. Looking forward to some RTX.

Back in the old days used to buy “GX2” cards from Nvidia, guess they have no such plans to do it again? SLI card using a single PCI slot. But then again, my computer is too noisy already.

On the other hand, with the world being clusterfucked I doubt I’ll spend money on such things, and thus contribute to the fuckery by not spending any money.

Hopefully there will be some 3x series cards to buy if we ever get out of this.
