Of course in honor of my very first ssd (which btw still works perfectly)

I still have one of those in an old PC. Still working great

 

[Dark Agent]

My PC nearly complete, Just waiting for final SSD from wootware. I finally purchases a new keyboard and mouse. The system extremely stable and running smooth. I did put some limits in place like FPS to 120, some other software tweaks for Win11, so far I really loving the new PC. I ran couple of my work loads and usual work load usually takes 45minutes to an hour, I was done 3 minutes. Peak Ram I used is ~90GB ram.
Now got my entire voice train set + neural network + voice output loaded in memory(~73GB ram). <2ms response times vs > 100ms. So overall was a good investment.

Meh, no optical drive.

Never heard of her.

I've got a coolermaster hyper 212x on my old CPU. Kinda hoping that will work, at least their website says it fits am4.

Well the cooler backplate didn't fit the MB. So I had to use the backplate that came with it. Only the risers were to short, and the coolermaster risers had different threading, so I had to rethread the backplate holes and the risers so they would fit. Also the backplate couldn't fit in my case, so I had to take out the trusty dremel and make some more space for it.

But now she's ticking away nicely.

So just to boast a bit this is what I'm running.
Ryzen 7 5700x3d, 32Gb 3200 ram, 1TB 4.0 x 4 M2, 512TB SSD, 4TB solidstate, 1660Ti GPU, SoundBlaster ZxR, Sennheiser Zero One Headset, cheapy 144Hz 27" monitor from Game/Checkers or whatever, and then Corsair keyboard and mouse, oh and a DVD drive

Hmm to get the 4070ti or not

Tech jesus called it a dumpster fire haha

Spoke to contact at wootware cards should be up at 18k or so at 4pm.

Wait a bit, the 5070ti is coming out in 2025 and pricing of the 4 series will drop .
Wait don't you have a 3080?

Had a 3080 yes, but it turn the room into a sona

through 4070ti only has a bit less power draw than 3080

rx 6800 i am using now is about 150watt less than the 3080 I had

Ooh, yeah I'm running a 3070ti and it hits about 250+ by itself, making it that I hit about 390w easily, was looking at an AMD. But first I need to start looking at my sons machine, 1600af with a 2060 super, I mean it still handles the games he plays but it's 3 to 4 years old now.
Feels weird that it's 3 years old already.

 

[Kung Fu Porkchop]

And here I'm still sitting with a 1070ti

6 years old now, sure it took awhile for it to be knocked down, but it's now knocked down.

I'll probably hold onto the card for another year or three. There are more important things to do before PC parts, unfortunately

Might as well just get a second hand 3070/80. Can't justify that price just for dlss 3 and less power consumption

Im sitting on the 1080 and have no reason to upgrade yet.

Yeah, it's not like I play games that kill my GPU anyway

I fired up my lounge PC for the first time in a few months.
GTX 1080Ti, Ryzen 5600.
Playing Forza 5 at 4K on my 65' with frames still sitting well above 60fps.

If I wasn't such a desperate mess for 144fps on my desktop I don't think I would have upgraded to a 3080ti.

 

[Slowestclock]

I wonder if we'll see a Lovelace refresh in the 5xxx series or will it be Blackwell arc

4k medium settings I take it? As at Extreme you'd be around 50fps and Ultra you'd be sitting at 30.

Using the 'high' preset in forza 5.
Probably not expected 4k performance, because it's not a true '4k' tv and only 3840x2160

3840x2160 is 4k high might get 60fps
