yup, word on the grapevine is that nvidia will actualy LOWER THE OFFICIAL MSRP for the 4070, with the 4070 Ti and 4080 running into EOL once their Super counterparts are released. the 4070 will be the only one continued alongside the super model, and that at a cheaper price. so bro @ryan wait until the super cards are released and supply has stabilized a bit, then be on the lookout for updated new pricing and/or used pricing 🙂

hahaha nice coincidence, i just saw that vis like 1-2 days ago, really impressive indeed! and those emotions breaking out of that kid, just adorable! totally earned 🙂 not really a speed-runner or game perfectionist myself, but every once in a while i love watching these stories how gamers specialize on a paritcular game and just push it to the absolute breaking point!

would be nice if they could keep on existing while still staying true to their customer service mantra and making things just a little bit "differently". but the updated PSU warranties are not a good sign....well just have to wait and see i guess. was nice to see that trip down EVGA memory lane though! 🙂

hahaha guess i earned that call-out @"rich person" with my setup 😛 yeah i heard about the crappy performance, but i thought it might have changed by now with updates and such...

anyone tried star wars jedi survivor and/or avatar frontiers of pandora yet? thinking of checking out both 🙂

LOL i expected nothing less from you two 😄 but as usual, always depends what ure aiming for. high cpu & ram frequencies, intel is your guy. platform longevity / performance value / power efficiency, AMD all the way. especially when its about gaming only or productivity first. however, for benching purposes, balls to the wall OC is still in the blue camp, albeit the margins are getting seemingly smaller with each gen passing by. point being, its been a loooong long time since theres been something for everyone from both camps, its awesome!

damn that newegg pricing is an absolute steal! altho id try to opt for a P5800X these days haha. i mean, if i go for a deadend product line, might as well go for the latest n greatest sku to get the most mileage out of it 😉

thats aight, im sure we all have our 4090s set to 24gbps+ anyways 😄 yah already happening, i.e. the 870 evo 4TB went almost double from approx. 170€ low to now 290€,fast closing in on 300...glad im all set for storage for now, wont need an upgrade for another 2-3 yrs id wager...

hum if the connection hasnt changed then why would a driver change make a difference? 1.5TB for 400 bucks is a steal though, when talking about optane! as for the toolbox, should be this one: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19543/intel-memory-and-storage-tool-gui.html

so guys, i think this monster of a "laptop" might peak your interest https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/liquid-cooled-laptop-features-amd-epyc-64-core-zen-4-cpu-and-rtx-4080-desktop-gpu-vendor-promises-rtx-4080-super-upgrade-down-the-line @Mr. Fox @Papusan 😄

noice would love to play around with an optane drive at some point, just that price per gb is so horrible 😅 how much did u pay for it, if i may ask? check and see if there are any options in the intel optane panel (dont remember intels toolbox name, but its analogous to other ssd toolboxes) that would need changing. also, have u tried different optane driver versions to see if there is any similar behaviour? as for bios settings, only thing i could think of would be pcie connection related (im assuming ure rocking the pcie AIC and not the U.2 version?) from my side theres a first failed attempt at installing the custom AM5 IHS. install went fine but temps are worse than before. issue being that ill need to finetune the z height of my arctic LFII 420 AIO, from what i can measure theres a difference of roughly 1.5-2 mm that ill need to account for vs. the stock AM5 SAM. i ordered two additional am5 mounting kits from arctic so i could play around (and destroy) the included parts to check and see how i would ideally bridge that gap. fingers crossed guys! 🙂

so in the end only pricing matters

AI cover of all i want for xmas is you by freddie mercury...boy the times we live in 😄 sounds amazing! hahaha

heyho waddhup guys, back from the (almost) dead here. so seems like after almost 4 years of successfully avoiding it, that damn covid bug finally got me. and OF COURSE i infected both my wife and lil babygirl in one fell swoop, ugh... keep your fingers crossed, i seem to be kinda on the mend, so hope i can take over babygirl care tomorrow seeing as my wife is crashing today... anyways, so that happened while i was in the middle of figuring out the details of my custom IHS install, my desktop is still in pieces on my desk waiting for me to get back my strength haha. ill keep you guys posted on developments. dude thats some insane pricing, id have gotten a kit as well in your place. ahaha THE FIRST INSTANT THOUGHT i had when i saw this video pop up on yt was our forum 😄 Janktop FTW!

enough already, send us some! 😛

interesting, the highest end RTX 5000 is equipped with a 4080 die.

music to my ears, switching from iphone to pixels 😄 what kinda cases did u guys go for?

noice, that blue looks amazing! i got the 7 pro in white, super happy with it 🙂 now if i just found the time to upgrade to Android 14.... 😄

nice, bookmarked the article. should a good read for my lunch break later 🙂 nice, good job! now to tighten up all the subtimings as far as they can go 😄

noice uve definitely found the right forum for Clevo freaks 😄 welcome!

thought it was good! plus its a nicely wrapped story at the end... going out with a BANG (no spoilers 😛 )

nope thats why id be curious to get one 😄 other users have reported a considerable bump in system snappiness tho 🙂

ah no, im not talking about the small capacity optane ssds used as caches to speed up slow HDDs. there are larger capacity optane drives such as the 1.6 TB ones to be used as the main drive in a machine. as such, they sport insane latencies and super high IOPS at low queue depths, plus they have absolutely insane writing durability and do not degrade in performance even when they are filled to the brink. not even the fastest regular NAND ssds can compete with that, thats why optane is priced so ludicrous (that and the comparably low storage density, were basically talking SLC here). in short: an optane SSD is basically the 4090 of SSDs, ultra performance at ultra pricing 😄 here a review if youre interested: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-optane-ssd-dc-p5800x-review even compared to pcie 5.0 drives the P5800X is miles ahead:

i admit im not a big GTA fan, i was rather old school and totally hooked into the OG GTAs of old with the birdview perspective: and yes i know ive now outed myself as OLD but thats ok hahaha 😛 nevertheless im looking forward to all the "hidden lore" storylines in GTA VI, i thoroughly enjoyed watching the summary videos on the alien / bigfoot / mount chilliad of GTA V on yt 🙂

some good points right there, thanks bud 🙂 the 3500 / 3800 speeds were with her previous 2x8GB 3800 sticks tho. i have since upgraded her to 2x32GB 3200 sticks, so curious to see how far i can push those. probably not as far, but across the whole lifetime of her machine (im expecting 10yrs) capacity is more important than speed 🙂 plus, of course, its fun to keep upgrading it 😄 im currently preparing aan 8TB QVO 870 ssd for her as a xmas present, shes running out of space on her external 5TB spinner, so thats gonna be a nice bump both in capacity and speed for her. QLC should be fine in her case, were tallking mostly media stuff like movies, music, pics, etc.
