why what watt psu do you have?

It's a 650w EVGA G2. Good quality psu, but not that high a wattage.

Yes, probably in Q1 2021 though

Works for me.

Vega 56 will keep me ticking over a bit longer. Should hopefully see what AMD are offering by then as well.

1 post on Christmas day, 1 post on my birthday, 1 on Nvidia launch day and 1 whenever I feel like.

Proper embedded version of FE airflow diagram.

It would make much more sense for gpus to be at the top of the case.

You don't get it do you.

So the cpu takes more of a bashing, one lowers the rez.

which hardly if anyone plays?

I dont think you understand at all.

Let me make it crystal clear.

Can you show me a benchmark at 1080p that shows a significant improvement in FPS by using an intel vs AMD.

If not then admit there is no noticable improvements and that i its purely down to GPU unless you are using a very very OLD CPU

Any cpu from the last few years is all perfectly fine for gaming at 1080 or above as its gpu dependant

I've been here years too and feel like ill never see the MM in my lifetime haha.

Just asked the question in another thread they said nvidia say min 750w. seems a lot though that does 750w!

RTX IO, do we know if it will work at all with Sata based SSD’s, as in principal it can surely still load straight from the drive to the graphics card, or is RTX IO reliant on the pcie bus for it to function?

Nobody will know until next year when it comes out. You may need pci-e 4 and you may need a certain speed NVME to be useful. Certainly wont work with sata SSDs from what I have read though.

Depends really on how hot the air gets, the rear fan is closer to the gpu so presumably that's where most of the heat will be. If anything it will generate less heat inside the case than an open air cooler as they dump all the heat into the case, whereas this is ejecting some out the back.

this makes sense ..the reason i like there design

The Intel Core i9 10900K is the best gaming cpu.

It might push the most fps at low resolution but is it the best buy. No pci-e 4 so slower drives and potentially going forward fps as well. At 4k that cpu shows no benefit over AMD zen 2 and it's missing next gen features atm motherboard wise. Zen 2 makes more sense to me even if it's mainly for gaming.

Lol i think it should be either amount of post counts and how active you have been

I give up....no really..

Price of the non OC Asus strix is £699 on OCUK. Think I'll go for this one if I don't get a FE.

A none issue.

Spend it on the gpu!!!

That was not the question.

You got to be an amd fan boy?

I do think the guy who keeps offering £180 for every 2080ti is a troll and needs banning tbh. We all know they have devalued but if a 2080ti is only worth £180 then a 2080 is only worth £130 and a 2070 is only £80 which is ridiculous.

The thing is, they haven't devalued in the real world. There is no immediate competition. Comparing to a yet-to-be physically released product is pointless. Once these release you could argue a 3080 is suddenly worth £200 because the 4080 is coming...

But I definitely agree, he needs a timeout at the very least and the residual value of Turing cards has certainly decreased.

Nvidia has been using a software scheduler for years that can be very taxing on a CPU's single threaded performance. Although it's not clear what approach will be used in Ampere (hardware/software). In light of this it really does behoove you to get the best CPU with the best single threaded performance to avoid oddities in smoothness, etc.

It was the question that i rephased and made it clear for you?

Please re-read it again.

i said that cpu may be 0.001% faster then anything but u will never see that in real world playing a video game.....

Have to agree with this. Nobody games at 720p on a top-end CPU. If the real world answer is that there is no quantifiable (let alone perceptible) difference because we reach limits elsewhere in the system, having the "top performing" CPU is irrelevant, as you simply can't access that power in any relevant way.

I think it was Tech Jesus who made the point that, yes Intel is technically better at gaming, but once you add in the real-world background stuff or try and stream alongside gaming, the Ryzen multicore superiority puts intel back in its box.

Yes because people spend £1,400 on their GPU to play at 720p....

The truth is at normal* resolutions and normal* settings the difference is non-existent.

*relative to the gpu you have.
