[LoadsaMoney]

It is for the RTX, as the CPU matters at 1080p

Cherry picked chips under a different sku now?

They'd be better off cherry picking the ram considering their current issues.

Tbf they've been up front about the A chips since almost the beginning.

Old news.

The AIB's are required to use the binned chips on factory OC cards now, so the weaker chips go on cards that run at reference clocks, and binned chips on factory OC cards.

Another place had about 10 strix cards in stock earlier for the low low price of £1500, needless to say they've all sold.

The FTW3 here:

Ordered 2 of these yesterday, I hope I don't end up playing Space Invaders on them.

Oh nice I'm a big fan of the FTW3. Will be my upgrade I think.

 

[RSR]

That's the card I am going to be picking up, once I can find stock.

 

[delpy8]

hi all any idea when we will see laptops with the 2080?

 

[D3lirious]

I've tried searching with no luck... Have any sites benchmarked these cards with a range of cpus? I'd like to know how much my skylake setup might hold back a TI. Hopefully not much if I only play in 4K...

 

[HRL]

At 4K not much at all I’d think.

This should help and yes you're correct, the GPU is what'll hold you back at 4k.

Thanks guys, just need to justify the price to myself now

Anyone seen the recommended requirements for DXR in Battlefield V?

Requires a Ryzen 2700 or i7 8700K or above! I bet they have to send some denoising to the CPU. This is way above the recommended without DXR.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/battlefield-v/battlefield-v-system-requirements

Battlefield V recommended requirements for DXR
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 October 2018 Update (1809)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 / Intel Core i7 8700
RAM: 16GB
GPU: RTX 2070
Hard drive space: 50GB

edit: I'm 4 days late

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Yup, thats for 1080p, you need a hefty CPU for that res

 

[Gerard]

So the FE does have rgb, its just disabled in the fe pcb somehow. Plus a story about Jensen allegedly not liking the white (apparently it didn't "just work") which made them just go with standard green.
