So the next board meeting should be interesting over at N. Bad couple of quarters in comparison to the glory days of crypto mining and losing an AIB. Unless they want to get rid of AIB partners over time? As Steve pointed, peoples jobs are involved here. I wish them luck.

This youtuber feels that he may have found some info showing how the 40 series may go. For example a 12gb and a 16gb 4080? The first 3/4 of the video shows how the previous 10, 20 cards were setup. Caution for language. Skip to 9:40.

never mind. I did mis read. Need moar coffee.

For me when upgrading the 1st question has to be: Will the psu handle it. My system is roughly the same vintage. By the time I upgrade the PSU to handle even a cheap gpu, I am spending more than it is worth. But I want eye candy. I am also not sure as to comparability of a mother board that old and the newer cards.

No, I dont. Closest I found was this? https://www.arctic.de/en/lf-service-kit This is the support page with emails etc. https://www.arctic.de/en/support/

Gamers Nexus vid. I am not sure about AIO myself, but good on Arctic for stepping up unlike some other companies.

Thank you for this.

Be careful about power transients. Seems that a PSU that is higher than you need may have the head room to filter out the spikes? Edit- I do not think anyone really knows yet what the power requirements are for the 4090 series. The oem nvidia will be at one level and then the board partners may boost that higher still. I've read some "leaks" that say it will be 600 watts blah blah. I've seen other stories that say 450 watts. I hope that the estimates are wrong. 600w just for gpu is nuts. If you are set on a 4090, and buy a psu now, you may have to buy another psu if 600 turns out to be the case. Just my 2 cents.

Here is a dcs video from 2021 and the 67000. It is in Portuguese, but the subtitles auto translate to english seems to work well. You may have to watch it on yt to get the auto translate. I checked reddit. Typed in DCS 6700 xt. Bunch of results. May be worth a read. Bandwidth vs vram geesh thats a question indeed.

I stand to be corrected, and it likely isnt that important these days but dont motherboards have QVL ? Qualified Vendor lists of ram etc that was tested with the MB? Again I could be wrong, likely am, but look into Z690 board, see what they tested if any. Should be on the MB makers site.

I've tried, but with art even my stick figures need help. SU-27 Tiger. This could also translate into a grey white snow tiger type? http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/130242-what-if-schemes/&do=findComment&comment=1320474 JSDF SU-27 http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/130242-what-if-schemes/&do=findComment&comment=1326556 USN Blue angels, but I think a two seater if it exists? http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/130242-what-if-schemes/&do=findComment&comment=1318178

Look into cooling for the 12th gen series. Contact frame/bracket. There is the cheap one reviewed here and the more expensive one by thermal grizzly. You can see how carefully they install the bracket. I think I remember that temps dropped about 7-8 degrees which may or may not be worth it to you.

Thanks. I was unaware of the Thermaltake, and only posted this for the folks that have a 12th gen.

I think that there may be competing frames?

That is a very nice setup Hector. The center cushion is much better than what I posted from the online reseller. I wonder if using a car chair would interfere with VR HMD? Trying to turn around and having that bit of the chair right at the back of your head/neck. hmm.

I think I remember someone mentioning that having a fan blow air on them when flying in VR? Might work?

If I had the room I would get a car chair set up. A local handy person or carpenter can make the base: Examples: https://www.polygon.com/guides/2020/7/1/21300566/how-to-build-a-flight-simulator-racing-cockpit-homemade-diy-rig-frame-chair-setup Any competent wood worker should be able to look at these various setups and cobble something together. https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/mobile-driving-flying-cockpit-with-motion-and-tactile-build.165289/ This is a racing rig, but it should provide ideas: U shaped foam cushion. Plenty of others. https://www.amazon.ca/Posture-Pro-Health-Chair-Cushion/dp/B09KCQYJDF/ref=sr_1_61?keywords=Foam+Cushion&qid=1658785131&sr=8-61 Not sure how to cut the metal frame of the chair and then re weld though.

Depending on the game, you can loose performance. So unless you have to have a laptop, you are better off with a desktop. This video is a year old, but shows the drop in performance. I will be very curious to see what they do for cooling with the 40 series cards in a laptop.

So even with these "sales" how close are these new prices to msrp or below msrp? It is last gen (some of the 40 series may be delayed?). I would want to see lower prices still. Cmon AMD/Intel give us some good stuff to drive prices lower. Did I just say that about intel?

I know it is a bad idea to buy a gpu and not be able to run it. In my case I'd need a new PSU etc etc. And I really want to see the new AMD stuff coming out. How often does a GPU arrive DOA? and some of the used gpu prices if they drop as far as he is estimating could be very good indeed. Almost worth the risk?

I think that the Cow needs flying goggles, leather helmet and a silk scarf. Edit: I am looking at the post by Kinkkujuustovoileipä, and the theme music is ride of the Valkyries. Just imagine a whole squadron of Helicopters with Cows popping over a hill flying at you with the music. I bet the mission builder guys cant wait.

Just saw a LTT video about a pc shutting down. The first few mins are Linus, the rest is all Anthony. I did not know about event viewer in windows. Maybe take a look? Best of luck

A shame that you do not have a spare PSU and send this to Gamers Nexus for testing.

Gamers nexus relevant but about the CPU starts at approx 13:00 GN has a riew, but I found the one by Jarrod's tech 1st. If you can afford it, get the Alder.
