It’s really not as ugly as it looks

Pics coming soon

Need Z370 for Coffee Lake processors

yeah I was just copying pasting from a streamer I think they have 7700 or 6950

 

[itsyoung!!]

if you have a 10xx card, I would wait for Volta (the next nvidia gen) to upgrade

im trying to tell people... Feb or March release or at least announce date for next gen vid cards but then again waiting 5 months for a card for some people might not be worth the wait

people can do what they want with their money. but they at least need to know that something even better really is right around the corner. with the way this usually goes, the 1160 (or whatever number they give it) will be around $200 for performance similar to the 1080. seems like a waste to spend $4-500 on a 1070ti, unless you really need to upgrade right now

they usually start the gen over, if going off nvidia previous history. It'll be the 160 not the 1160

I also told @TheRealfG when they start releasing ti versions of non flag ship cards (example 1070 ti) that means they are just trying to squeeze extra sales out of the generation until they announce the next one. if Nvidia releases cards its usually quarter 1 of a new year. At least the flagship model and a lower version of a card (say a 1080 and a 1060) and release the 70 version a few weeks/months later

I think it has to do with how they bin the chips. the 1070 and 1080 use the GP104 chip. they probably end up with a bunch of chips that don't quite meet the 1080 specs, but far exceed the 1070. so now they push those out as the 1070ti

I head it's too expensive to make consumer Volta so they're just focusing on the enterprise market

they have been pushing it back for a minute. Volta was originally supposed to come after Maxwell. I think this was their roadmap from 2013:

The waiting game is tough for me. I'm skipping Volta. Whatever is the next TI after Volta I'll get that. If I can hold out...

Now it's time to overclock and benchmark more

 

[Ciggavelli]

double

 

[Liquid]

Now it's time to overclock and benchmark more

goddamn, that thing must weigh 50lbs

 

[Malta]

Steam Link is $15 till November 6th, anyone have one? I mean for $15 I'll probably just buy it whether it's good or not.

Yeah, it's pretty heavy, but not terrible.

@Ciggavelli are those your old hard drives or those came with it? I always transfer my physical harddrives from computer to computer but you switch computers so much how do you transfer your old files
