Same as mine, been running fine for a few months now.

The 1080 Ti is such a legendary card, I wonder if Nvidia felt they sold it too cheap back in the day hence what we have now - they can always reduce the price after release, but in the current climate that's obvioulsy not gonna happen considering the insane demand for cards

I only ran it once out of curiosity. I've seen others report running it multiple times and getting different results each time (not surprised tbh). You could very well have a great sample so your misery may be premature!

I would imagine it is, I just meant that the CCD that works could be very good. Or not lol I've never had much luck in the silicon lottery, but then I don't upgrade very often so don't have a large sample size

Thanks, thought that's what it meant having seen a few mentions of it. From what i've read, 5950x has a very good CCD and an average CCD (this may be wrong of course) - possible I've got a pretty good 5800x then if the disabled CCD was the average one. Still, it's like having an extra pie that...

I've just built a 5800x system, I'm completely new to Ryzen (good to be back on an AMD machine though!) I've just run the diagnostics on RCT 2.0 RC5 : ***ClockTuner for Ryzen 2.0 RC5 by 1usmus*** AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor GIGABYTE B550 VISION D-P BIOS ver. F11 SMU ver. 56.40.00 TABLE...

I don't like sand

Gigabyte have a new version of their white themed B550 Vision D board, the new one is called B550 Vision D-P and is hitting our shores very soon. Sadly (and rather annoyingly) it has revision 2 still of the Intel I225-v NIC and not the fixed revision 3 (someone with the board sent me a device...

Just went to the homepage and was confronted with it, but didn't realise the 6700XT was today. I've got my FE luckily, just giving heads-up in case they dropped (sorry if I got hopes up guys)

Ah gotcha thanks

Browsing the supplier of the FE's, I had to captcha to get in. Maybe a drop on today? GL

Ah I see, thanks for clarification. I guess that they have partnerships that rely on their releases, like the motherboard vendors and such as you say. I'm still on Skylake but shopping for a Zen 3 build now (managed to get a GPU, PSU and some memory so far so I'm making progress!) - just...

I didn't literally mean it was a beta test, just was under the impression that it was more or less Alder Lake applied to their current process - but I stand corrected.

Yeah I've been vaguely following their process troubles, I just wondered if they went ahead with RL knowing it wouldn't set the world on fire, but rather to shall we say 'beta test' the new desktop arch and make a few quid along the way. I only have a passing knowledge of these things though and...

I'm only just getting up to scratch with all the new stuff, but is this RL release just to give this new desktop architecture a shake out before the shrink?

I was too scared. But I have a 6700K so I'll take your word for it :D

For me it's extra cost, also it's going to either take up a USB port or a PCIe slot. For B550 which I am leaning towards, some boards share bandwidth between certain slots with an M.2 slot - on a new build it's just not something I really want to have to work around and spend more money on...

The issues for both the Realtek and the Intel seem to be frequent disconnects, low bandwidth, and packet loss. Different people report some or all of these issues, the majority of which at 2.5Gb/s, but some at 1Gb/s. Sorry if it wasn't clear from my OP, but I do not have a board yet and am...

Yeah very true. I'm fighting the upgrade bug, I was on the fence about it with a 6700K and a GTX 1080 gaming at 1440p, but then one day I got lucky and snagged a 3080FE! The floodgates have opened lol

From what I could find the Z590 boards are a little pricey for me, but I'm keeping my eyes on them too
