To what, Asus tried to scam us?

So you're saying they should have paid Asus whatever it asked so they could have a video title that is 100% factual?

I just hope this causes Asus to reform their support department. This is just pathetic it's still happening.

It really feels like a coin flip with Asus. I cautioned a forum member here recently about it when he needed to RMA a 4090. Fortunately for him they gave him no problem and everything got done properly. I feel sorry for all these other folks who were on the other side of the coin. It's just...

I'm still confused how it's going to stop someone from enjoying the game? It's such a minor change. It's like making a male character less muscular in the sequel, is anyone going to complain about that?

The only thing for certain is the scalpers will be there right on the first release, whatever card it happens to be. And some morons will go on ebay and pay them.

Yeah InWin has always prioritized looks over function.

He probably should get an apples to apples comparison by using the same game/bench before opening it up and doing a re-paste. I've done lots of cards myself but it's still a job I'd rather avoid if possible.

It's a $300 case fellas, pretty sure it has front fans.

Since this is an Asus build this should work: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-DisplayPortTM-Full-Coverage-Radiator/dp/B0C7JW9GMV

Yeah plus nvidia really undercut the AIBs this gen and perhaps will continue to going forward.

I certainly do not recall it being discounted that hugely a month or two after release. Perhaps others can chime in about it. Nearly 6 months after release the 4090 came out, which is one reason it was not a very good buy at the time.

I think we both know those are too high. Like I said they could monkey around with the prices and performance and make the math harder for people. I mean what do you think it would take for them to convince a bunch of people to buy an AMD card?

There's no doubt it's on them. I'm just thinking nvidia could make the math hard for them. $2500-3k for the x90 and then $1200 for the x80. Something like that. This is all complicated a bit now due to the 4090 being priced as it was and how it would compare to the 5090 of course. Why do...

I think they can, they just leverage the pricing and RT performance. It's the one feature AMD can't compete on very well and lots of people care about it.

Do you realize you're kinda saying they should charge 2k for the 5090 and thus make a $1200 5080 more of a "bargain?"

I did with 7 too. I had bought a patcher to extend another year beyond EOL. Still on 10 now too, not enough stuff uses direct storage to make me care to update.

Yeah it's just one of those things you don't consider immediately, like the power button someone mentioned earlier in the thread. Working with risers myself now I definitely test them, a simple mistake is having PCI-e gen 4 when the riser only is gen 3 and thus no display working until you...

Stuff happens, even the test bench won't always be foolproof. If it was indeed the riser cable causing the problem you may not have even thought to test it first, especially if it came with the case. But I guess the good thing would be knowing that at the very least everything worked properly...

Risers can cause problems with lots of boards, don't know that it's largely a gigabyte problem. Also memory training for 100 hours? That's so ridiculous lol.

You always want to be 1-3 fps below refresh to get the lowest latency, it's working as intended.

I have no idea really. I've never used software like that and can't be sure it can even do 360fps or even 500 fps, or as mentioned previously how much it uses the CPU.

Yep and he should also post his CPU, when you start trying to hit those high frame rates you need a CPU that can keep up.

Please tell me how Aloy's face breaks immersion in a completely fantasy world? Does a female character more to your liking wearing a skimpy outfit not break immersion?

I'm more on the side of not giving a damn and focusing on playing the game. Do I give the male characters' faces much thought? No, I don't care.

Sounds like the authentic Bethesda experience.

Yeah when I look up stuff on howlongtobeat and see it's 50-100 hours it really kills any motivation to buy/play.

I've heard that before but I've also played lies of p which has pretty much all those same mechanics and has an unlocked frame rate. Plus they have had so many games released at this point they should have no issue even with a 120 fps cap. Besides, can always include the option for the player...

I'm pretty sure that's what he means. They are very highly regarded games but From typically makes garbage PC ports. Elden Ring was an improvement, but 60 fps cap is still kinda laughable for PC.

Yeah once you've done it a million times it's not fun anymore. I've been delaying my board/CPU upgrade for that exact reason. I've probably had the CPU for 3 months now!

Ah sucks :( that failure of the power on circuit isn't all that rare though. Wouldn't blame yourself unless you think you may have accidentally zapped it.

Do the paperclip method for your current PSU, if it turns off/on by using the switch then I'd say it's a very good chance the mobo is defective.

Yeah it must have been something else. Iirc rebar is a small boost that should have hardly any effect on GPU usage.

I really liked SS re. Never played the original so had no frame of reference. The only thing that was difficult was the backtracking required, got stuck a few times and had to use a guide to figure out where I needed to go. For myself I'm going to finish spec ops the line this weekend. Mods...

Yeah nvidia loves mucking up the line up. The 40 series has sucked with combo Ti and Super usage.

You mean 2080 ti? Don't recall a 2090.

Do you always try to get all the achievements in stuff you play? That will quickly detract from enjoyment I've found.

Well easy fix there, roll back and see if they cause any problems.

Never used it, nor have I had anything require it.

They probably all perform similarly so I doubt that makes much of a difference. As far as warranty goes Giga/Zotac are okay, never owned a PNY. I'd go with the best deal you can get.
