i was was wondering how much of an improvement would we see in VR with the display port ? Dont think there are any DP hmds are there? The amd cards look to fit a number of cases. Wendell makes a nice build in Fractal 7 mini

Special Hobby 1/48th scale Bugatti 100. I am linking to this build as there are pictures of the u/c bays. I am so very tempted. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235118444-chase-me-the-bugatti-100-air-racer-in-148/

Level1 tech 128gb of ram? May be interesting to some?

Would love to have this. Something in the blue blue jsdf style Thanks for all of your additions/mods.

My 2 cents, at the current pricing of the 4080, I am not sure that it is all that great. Factor in if you need a new PSU and does it fit in the PC case that you currently have? I've read a number of theories re pricing on the 4080. Price is high to help sell any remaining 3000 series cards. Price could come down in 2023 depending on how well the new AMD GPUs do. Me? I'd take a chance and wait to see what happens when the AMD test results come out.

Saw this over on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/z0rrwu/rtx_3090_to_4080_results_in_dcs/

New Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk IXc review of the parts from the box.

GN may have found the answer with the cable.

I assume that the rest of the system is working ok? You have an old GPU to test with? The power cable cable is correctly seated? Some folks on reddit have mentioned that depending on the card, it can be a bit harder than they expected to get a proper connection Silly questions, but have to start somewhere. Sorry to hear about the issues. Hope you can solve this.

There are a few ways to get support from VKB. No idea if there are any VKB reps here. There is a discord channel for example. https://vkbcontrollers.com/?page_id=140

Just read this on reddit. Listen for the click. But some folks don't hear the click or struggle to seat the connector properly. The video by Ronaldo by teclab is interesting. If this is the real issue, should a connector be this fiddly?

Possibly the first first burnt connector with native ATX3.0 cable Looks like it was from same brand MSI and the same distributor. MSI is asking for both back, looks to be replacing. I think i read that some owners/users are reducing power on their cards. Der8bauer showed that you can do this with minimal performance loss. Maybe this is a one off. But, if I had a 4090, I would power limit for sure.

I agree, we need to see more tests. The latest reviewer mentioned the distortion became a bit better when he got his eye closer Interesting how MRTV reported distortion only at the out edges of the lenses. All I can think of is eye socket shape/depth?

Hmm, another show test. He feels that the FOV is around 95? I do not mind the cable connection myself. I only flight sim from a chair. I saw a discussion on reddit regarding this review and some wondered if he couldn't get a result because of deeper eye sockets. I will wait for IRL testing, not just a quick show on/off. https://skarredghost.com/2022/10/26/shiftall-meganex-hands-on/

Oh I absolutely agree with you re improper use and the design of products. These cards have pushed the envelope size wise as well. I think about what Der8aur said in one of his 4090 reviews: They could have dropped power a bit which barely affected fps performance which likely would have allowed them to make a slightly smaller cooling stack/fins.

RX 7000 cards rumored to not use this connector https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7000-cards-reportedly-not-using-pcie-gen5-12vhpwr-connector I've read a number of comments stating that these plugs are ok, that it is user error. Bending the cables etc. Guess we shall see.

I think this video is still valid? Pitch controls: Skip to 8:20 This video looks to cover weapons etc. Hope it is still valid.

Der8auer review. Of interest to me was the Wireview at 3:42 that shows draw etc. May help with the cable as well? But I think his best point was showing how there looked to be minimal performance loss with less power which shows that perhaps this card could have been smaller. That is at 18:00 mins.

I wonder if there will be an initial rush to buy from the I must have top of the line everything crowd and then a slowdown in purchases in 5-6 months? Hopefully AMD is close in performance while being perhaps a bit cheaper with better efficiency. We can hope? I keep checking local 3090 Ti prices and not seeing a drop yet from the initial drop we had the last month or so.

I posted 2 reviews in Video card rumors topic. OOPs. Gamers Nexus HWUB look at Paul's Hardware and Techtesters as well.

There are also good reviews on Paul's Hardware and techtesters. I hope someone who plays DCS and other flightsims can give us a review soon.

Gamers nexus uses a water jet to cut 4090 cooling in half. Lots of technical stuff I didnt understand.
