So it’s a limited quantity that my GPU and Barry Allen can draw speed from?

Fuck, it won’t fit in my mini ITX Node 304. No enough room above PCIE slot because the card has an extra 3mm of backplate preventing me from pressing card down into slot.
Given the supply constraints (and cost) of good video cards, I’d seriously consider swapping to a new case and continuing rather than abandoning the 3070.
Don’t tell him that right after spending hours replacing a psu. Any way you could mod the case?

Yeah I have a roomier case sitting here for months I’ve been too lazy to transplant into. Now my hand is forced.
That top layer slab is what slot into my mobo PCIE slot.

Yeah those new cards are kaiju big. Had to do do some flexing to my case to fix the card in. It is not the depth of the card, 3 slot is easy to manage. It is the width and length.

Nicked off quite a bit ofpaint in corner of backplate angling it unsuccessfully but card works when system transplanted to NR200P case which luckily comes with PCIE Riser.
So roughly 33% faster than the 2070 for same cost delta. Surprised my 600w SFX PSU can drive it.

GeForce Now is actually impressively good with decent internet.
At least until you burn all your download cap.
So, what’s about biased disingenuous/biased benchmarks? There was a exchange of bags of money to make the game look better or what?
I was checking the performance of RE8, and comparing with the first benchmark google presented me, this:
(disabling the framerate limiter improved it for me, seriously, why 2/3 of all games doesn’t get it right!)
In any case, even with that improvement, I noticed the benchmark was still somehow inflated, in comparison with what I was seeing. Then I searched the actual benchmark area they did
… is that a joke? I was also playing that part just when I switched to search a benchmark, and I can see they specifically did a path with low load to the computer. In several moment of that path they could have looked up or to the right, and the framerate would have lowered by 12fps. Instead of ending looking at a freaking wall, the normal thing would have been to turn 180º, in that same position and would have seen the little plaza with a bigger draw distance and several buildings. They even went around the church through the right side, instead of the left one, which also would have lowered a bit the framerate.
Summary is, it seems you can’t trust any site these days.

This is a beefy card no room for a 3.5 drive on the bottom. The NR200P is a really fantastic ITX case though.

Yea, that’s really frustrating.

Is that for your gaming rig? If so, why do you have such a small case for gaming?
Also an acronym fetishist.

Have you ever looked into riser cables?
I only really knew they were a thing when I ran into the NZXT cases catching fire because of a poorly engineered one, but the things mostly exist because of small cases and large video cards as I understand it (and for various aesthetic reasons).

Risers introduce compatibility issues, particularly with PCIe gen4, so I would avoid them if your case allows that.

Interesting. I had no idea they even existed until a couple months ago, but if that’s the case then nevermind.

The Cooler Master NR200P case actually comes with the riser so that was my last resort.

Lots of modern cases come with risers to optionally display your GPU vertically. That’s what I would recommend against doing, as it’s just a cosmetic thing.
If your case has separate compartments that require the use of a riser, that’s a different story.
