Reciever

IIRC there are options for that in the settings.

Considering how 95% of the titles came from consoles its not a surprise that it plays better on a controller. I havent played it a whole lot personally yet, I put it on ice for a year or two and enjoy it at that time.

Even then I believe those were only for desktops no?

Really enjoyed it more than I should have lol, still sitting on the second season.

Welcome to the Forums! You might be able to make some healthy comparisons with @tps3443 who has also dabbled in the higher end of recentish offerings on the high end.

This one should be for GTX 9800 but it looks like it should also fit the GTX+ variants after reading some of the old newegg reviews, definitely the older variants seem to be higher success rates. Probably going to have to find something local as I dont really fancy 30-40+ USD on ebay for cards of this age

Found some now ancient but still NIB arctic accelero extreme 9800 coolers on performance pc's so naturally since they were 15 USD each I bought 2. Any of you whose been around the block for some time, any recommendation for which GTX 9800 to seek out for benchmarking?

Well to be fair I was using this board fkr a different purpose originally and even now still serves well under unraid. That being said it why I haven't considered it for use with gpu benching. At least the z390-a and aorus master are wired for 16x or 8x/8x. Just curious if it's worth the hassle versus the z97 krait Ali board considering it's age. At least it's 8x/8x just quite a bit older now. I'll probably give it a shot and see what the results look like

The board I have only does x8/x4 for CFX/SLI which is why I am not considering it for gpu benchmarking.

Hey guys so a bit of a privileged problem hoping you guys can give me some insight. I have an old SLI board with a system that is basically already running iirc z97 Krait SLI. Sits in the garage now. So heres the hypothetical. I still have my 9700F, 4x8GB 2666Mhz SO-DIMMS, some storage from my P750DM-G that has a bad GPU (MXM 1080). I was thinking to swap from parts around. Make the 9700F the new basis for a benching rig, if so then I would move the sodimms to the 10850K (using an adapter) on unraid to give it 32GB and move the 16GB 4400Mhz RAM to the 9700F. I would likely be looking at the Asus Z390-A or the Aorus Master since both can use x8/x8 for CFX/SLI. Or should I just not waste any time and effort, revive the old z97 system for purely GPU benchmarks? Not sure if the 4790K can effectively push GTX 690 Quad-SLI. Thanks in advance fellas

Make a thread in the correct sub-forum please :)

Its unfortunate that now the king of the hill sets the prices for the entire product stack. Since both are publicly traded, they are legally obligated to seek profits for their respective organizations so even if AMD were to somehow produce 80-90% of the performance for 50% (or less) of the cost they would be obligated to price it accordingly or open themselves to lawsuits from their own investors. The only counter argument they could make is a desperate need to gain market share, but they could likely only make that argument for 1 release before investors get itchy for the next fiscal quarter I buy both vendors to suit the needs or desires I have at the time, but I still have my leanings. That being said I remembered this 10-20 second portion of a farewell video which leads to the real problem. Gamers buy nvidia regardless and AMD cant seem to market their products appropriately.

I remember when people use to say that accelero's were too big lol 3090Ti from Brother Fox arrived today. It completely dwarfs the arctic cooler, not complaining. I have a bit of a soft spot for these kinds of heatsinks

Just bought myself a Sapphire 280X 3GB Tri-X should be here next weekend :)

There are merits and demerits to both. Sadly the demerits are more notable when the merit is a smooth running operation. I dont use Apple personally as their ecosystem doesnt suit my needs, if my interests were different then of course that wouldnt be the case. As much as I do enjoy the ease of access (and more importantly, familiarity) of Windows, I cant trust it to do what it is expected unattended, which is why I use Unraid for things that need to "just run" without persistent user intervention. Its just an unfortunate circumstance that benchmarking was made in large part to be relative to what you can expect in gaming. Gaming being largely on Windows, despite being a highly individual "sport" on an OS that doesnt really care to suit the needs of the individual. As such we get to spend a lot of time resisting broad stroke solutions. Pick your poison, as it were lol

There is nothing wrong with criticism, also, they have experience with using Linux as well.

Thanks Brother, looking forward to playing with it. Might send it off to Hiew as hes been having the upgrade itch but 9070 XT's are slim pickings where he's at. Its why I wanted to keep it in the family. I was really bummed out when I sold my EVGA 3090 to tide me over until my next income kicked in. Brother Fox is always fair in private dealings, so it was an easy choice. Probably too easy.

Anyone here know what kind of screws I should be looking to get for my Red Devil 7900XTX? Im open to buying a kit or something if its around 30 bucks or less

Middle is basic tune for gaming, benching stable doesnt mean gaming stable sadly. Middle score: 2900c/2650 mem regular timing @ 1070mv 7900 XTX is really held back pretty hard on the power. 600w would've been great but AMD likely made the right choice as people complaining about performance sadly is safer than people complaining about needing more power. I'll do a stock run in a moment, also ReBAR is disabled again somehow :/ I'll need to check my sBIOS again. Oddly enough the Network Stack needs to be enabled for Rebar to work on this Aorus ITX x570 board... #3 = Stock
