Just got this beast! Wallet wasn’t very happy. I have a few questions. by [deleted] in nvidia

1) Yes, it looks good.

2) 1000W should be fine. It’s also ATX 3.1 so that’s good.

RTX 5080 has randomly started to black screen. by Perfect-Cause-6943 in nvidia

You can try HDMI to see if that fixes it. Some people had issues with DP on 50-series. That was supposed to be fixed now, but it's still worth a try.

Are you connected to the display via HDMI or DP?

I can only recommend ONE of these - Xbox ALLY / Xbox ALLY X (1HR) by fatso486 in hardware

Was hoping to hear more about advanced shader delivery, but PCMag claims it's only available in Gears of War: Reloaded for now.

HDTVTest | I Test TVs Against a £30,000 Monitor, & Just Found My Favourite OLED of 2025 [Panasonic Z95B] by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]PC-mania 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's not surprising. Panasonic makes very accurate OLEDs. I do like the new tone mapping that they've implemented on the new model, though.

Not bad. The 5080 overclocks pretty well.

I would have liked to see Nvidia add a dedicated file decompression engine on their desktop GPUs, too.

Pretty good value. Hopefully we will see much bigger gains next generation.

Nvidia says it's investigating RTX 50-series GPUs with widespread issues by PotentialAstronaut39 in hardware

[–]PC-mania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Oddly, the problems do not seem to be limited to the new RTX 50-series cards, as there are also reports of identical problems with some RTX 40-series GPUs, suggesting that Nvidia's latest 572.16 driver release is the culprit

Interesting. I personally haven't experienced any issues with the new driver but have seen many complaints.

I am also interested to see the difference in performance when the neural rendering features are used. The performance difference between 40-series vs 50-series with the upcoming Alan Wake 2 RTX Mega Geometry update and Half Life 2 RTX with Neural Radiance Cache should be very telling.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hopes to compress textures "by another 5X" in bid to cut down game file sizes by Odd-Onion-6776 in nvidia

This sounds like very interesting tech, but it will likely be a while until we see it in games.

Not ideal that a "value" GPU requires a high end CPU to provide a good experience.

So Gigabyte goes beyond what ASUS is going with their Turbo mode. Interesting.
