My old rig from that era with dual 8800GTX's (Asus top / eVGA bot).. and the wonderful Abit IN9 32x max (n680sli) motherboard that didn't squeeze the cards right next to each other.. and that crazy zalman cooler. I loved that thing lol!
That's amazing if these numbers are true. It'd definitely push me over the edge to do an upgrade. It certainly doesn't hurt that I already have someone I can sell my existing platform to, as well.
I kinda get it... Unboxing my *used* nVIDIA GPUs from the Titan X Pascal on have been a treat. The RTX 3080 FE I have now definitely has that "premium feel" in your hands. For as much as nVIDIA charged for it, though, it had god damn well...
I may have posted this system 3 years ago but I didn't get a whole lot of time to play around with it. Today, I remedy that. Just need to figure out where I put the optical drives for it and install drive cables...
The GeForce 9800 GX2, yes. There was also a 7900 GX2 that was OEM only, and a consumer 7950 GX2 as well. The card that followed the 9800 GX2 is behind it: the GeForce GTX 295. :cool:
My personal favorite?
The nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. It was the first GPU that allowed me to turn everything to max settings in the shader model 3 era. And it was the last enthusiast grade single-slot GPU from nVIDIA.
Apologies if I've...
I don't need a top tier CPU, no, considering my GPU is a 3080 FE (which is listed in my signature) - and later this year I'll be swapping it for a 3080 Ti FE. I'll be doing a good deal of video encoding and 3D modeling in addition to gaming and...
A dual v-cache part is something I would love to see. That way I don't have to worry about which CCD a thread gets assigned to because they all have access to v-cache. I'm happy with my 5900X as is, but I'd be lying if I said the extra...
Yeah for sure it has a niche market. If gaming was your primary concern then I think the 7800X3D is preferable to avoid any scheduling issues.
I would have loved to see them just go both CCD's with 3D v-cache. Or better yet, maybe Zen 5 or Zen 6...
I mostly game on my PC but I'd still prefer one of the non-3D cache CPU's...the gaming numbers are incredible with the 7800X3D but I'd rather have something like the Zen 5 8800X which will perform around the same or slightly better than the...
You came into a topic, you willingly clicked on it, right? You weren't under any duress? So what gives? Do you also buy books you are not interested in then start reading them and then moan how you are not interested in it?
BTW you got the...
