Can't get ahold of anything short of +50% or more of MSRP, if at all. I'm ready for a new GPU, like a 7900xt, or even a 7800xt, but nothing available anywhere. Frustrating. 4 figures for a GPU is intolerable. i read this article the other day. nvidia is prepared this time for the scalpers. the shortcomings will eventually be corrected. TL;DR: NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card faces high demand but limited stock. To address this, NVIDIA is using excess TSMC yields to produce more RTX 50 series GPUs. The supply of RTX 5090 is expected to increase significantly, impacting scalpers. Upcoming releases include RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, and RTX 5060.

Harley Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Got lucky on Monday night. I've not run anything that isn't Asus for some time, but I managed to scoop up a fresh sapphire 7800xt on the ol newegg. They are now gone. Will be delivered Friday night. Then the testing will begin. I imagine Baghdad will pose fewer problems then. 1
Harley Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Welp, It's somewhat bittersweet to report that after installing that new 7800xt, that Iraq now flies remarkably well. A smooth and steady 60FPS, likely more if I turn off the cap. Apparently, it was the junction temp limit throttling the ol radeon vii, causing the driver timeout. I bombed a couple things in Baghdad last night, because why not? Still need to tweak and optimize the driver because surely I can turn some settings up a little, and then I can also likely turn some DCS settings up higher, too. My guess with anybody experiencing CTD in Baghdad: enable SAM in the Adrenalin driver, or whatever the NVidia equivalent is. Mine enabled by default. I can only assume that it will need this enabled as it seems far more detailed than other maps, and the autogen is crazy. Also, apparently GDDR6 and whatever else these newer GPUs have can handle whatever is being asked of them more than the previous generations can. This was the answer that worked for me. I will need to do more optimizing and testing, but it works now. Oh Radeon vii we hardly knew ye.
