Oh wow it got worse. Shifting everything to a misunderstanding and "confusion" amongst consumers, while changing the previous marketing to mean completely different things than it initially did. They also changed the subscriber agreement's onerous terms to be significantly less onerous - all...

There is an important point in the video that I didn't summarize. GN was in a partnership with NZXT, with an ad campaign worth $23,000 USD for the next quarter that was already inked and signed. GN cancelled it in light of their discoveries with this Subscriber program. It would be inaccurate...

I'll take a crack at it. - Predatory loans prices similar to a 103% APR loan with no ownership of the product. It is illegal for known predatory loaners to even offer this level of APR in the US under usury laws. The analogy here is you could take a predatory loan to buy the PC and it would...

Thank you for this thread, your research into the issue, and compiling your findings. I haven't been able to find a lot of information on this checker box problem before stumbling upon it in "New Forum Post" here. I first thought it was artifacting (so a GPU memory failing issue) but my second...

Judging from the nearly identical single core benchmarks, cooling difference appears to be the more likely culprit. That is to say the 12850HX appears to be throttling when using all cores on the sampled laptops, while the 12800HX sample appear to not be. If the tests were ran back to back on...

I think the chief problem is that value has historically and consistently went up for most generations of the xx80 cards with the exception of Turing/RTX 2xxx. For example, the 3080 was 66.7% faster than the 2080 at 4k and was $100 less. The 1080 was 69.4% faster than the 980 at 4k and was...

It's on the bottom left of the socket.

Have you tried running a negative voltage offset within the BIOS? Most people recommend a -0.05 or -0.1 offset which will hit your single core performance slightly but help temperatures in a significant way. I'm running -0.1v and noticed my max temperature for the day (about a 10 hour uptime)...

Hasn't that only affected 2080 Tis? I don't see many people reporting on this anymore. I've had my MSI 2080 Gaming X Trio since launch and I haven't had any problems, but that's a sample size of 1.

Try the beta version (4.6.0) for fan speed control. The official release version (4.5.0) doesn't give me fan speed control either but the beta version does. https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

I pulled the i7-6800K from my main working system after finishing a project and put it in the system with problems. The computer booted up just fine. Looks like it's time to chat with Intel :oops: Just for clarity for whomever finds this thread: Power turns on for maybe 100 milliseconds, which...

I've done the steps in that thread, but it basically says my power supply unit is healthy. The thread stops after that because it solved OP's problem (their power supply) - I'm trying to find out which part to RMA at this point but I can't confidently say what's wrong. Mine doesn't boot and...

Hi everyone, I have a system with the following specifications: ASUS X99 Strix Intel i7-6800K Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO G.Skill Trident Z F4-3200C14D-16GTZ EVGA SuperNOVA 1000w PS There's more parts but I've dismantled it completely to its barebones (Motherboard, CPU, CPU Cooler + fan, 1...

A little disappointed since I was hyped at 50% over the 1080 but I guess that's my fault. It's 23% faster than the GTX 1080 (1.6x of Titan X divided by 1.3x of Titan X) at its best since up to 60% With the relative performance at "60% over Titan X," I've purchased a 1080 today to replace my...

No as a matter of fact, I do not remember when node changes meant huge 60% leaps you're referring to. The jump from 65nm (8800 GTX/9800 GTX) to 55nm (GTX 285) was 30%. The jump from 55nm (GTX 285) to 40nm (GTX 480) was 30%. The jump from 40nm (GTX 580) to 28nm (GTX 680) was 15%. All the reviews...
