    i believe production slowed over the new year and there was a wave of mining craze a few weeks back.

    I can't believe the Titan Xp is now better price:performance than the 1080ti

    If you were to install Windows on it with Bootcamp for gaming, and even in macOS, the iMac Pro has a Vega GPU, that will blow a GTX 760 out of the water. 

     

    Not all games are for the Mac so you might have to install windows. 

    I already have VMWare to run a windows parallel, so that isn't a problem.

    I'm more concerned whether or not more graphically intensive games such as PUBG and Rainbow 6 would run fairly smoothly (1440p 60). I don't need extremely high frame rates or perfect 4k performance.

    It depends on what you need. 

     

    If you need ECC memory and registered parts and CPUs like a Xeon and need a GPU with a lot of VRAM, then there is no question that the iMac Pro is better. It has those things and also has a best in class display. 

     

    If you just need a PC to edit video casually and play games then sure build your own system. 

     

    Also it depends on what programs you use. FinalCut for example blows Premiere out of the water in render times. 

     

    There is also the stability factor and ease of setup. The Mac is just ready and requires nothing other than to be turned on, the PC has to be built. There is also stability, as far as I'm concerned macOS is way better in terms of recovery, backup, and getting up and running again in the case of an OS corruption. MacOS is just objectively better in those departments. 

    I would most likely be getting the iMac Pro anyway, as my dad prefers Final Cut to Premiere significantly, as well as the MacOS ecosystem. My main concern is will casual gaming be a significant downgrade if I chose the iMac Pro over the build? My current system is a 4770k and GTX 760, so I would like a good improvement over that.

    The custom build you have there is basically top of the line so yeah, it'll blow the mac away for games, hands down. 

    I just have to say one thing about your parts list; why do you have two separate 16GB kits of TridentZ instead of one 32GB kit?

    When I parted it out, 2x 16GB was cheaper than one 32 GB

    The custom build will blow the iMac away in terms of gaming. Not even a question. 

    Is there any particular reason? I thought it would be better, but I wasn't sure particularly why.

     

    The xeon seems comparable because of turbo boost to 4.3 ghz and I didn't think the Vega 64 was significantly worse than the 1080ti

  6. Hi all,

    I know I'm probably going to be burned alive for asking this but here it goes:

     

    Should I buy the new iMac Pro for gaming?

     

    Now I'm fully aware that it is not for gamers in the slightest, nor is it the "optimal" build for gaming. However, I'm most likely going to be getting this computer anyway due to the video editing my dad does (Most likely 10 core, 64 gb ram, Vega 64). 

     

    I have been parting out the follow build:

    Should I save a few (thousand) bucks and just run a windows VM on the iMac pro for gaming? Or will the build I proposed be significantly more powerful in gaming performance (PUBG, Overwatch, CSGO, R6 Siege).

     

    Thanks :) !

    Here's what I would do.

    Disclaimer: I don't know basically anything about a cooling loop so I set that up in EKWB config. If you're planning on spending this much on a PC, I'd do more research and hand pick each component of the loop.

    Dont include the monitors cause i have them.

    I honestly would like to have most likely 2 graphics card but thats just me. What is the difference between Titan x - Titan z - Titan v
    i really cant find a different.  I mean titan v already cost $3000 but titan x is legit half the price. Will there be a different performace if i had 2 titan x instead of 1 titan z.

     

    Titan Z- old; don't buy

    Titan X- usable but for the price just get Xp because it's newer

    Titan V- bleeding edge and only really good for deep learning or flexing on your friends with your dope new gold graphics card

     

    Titan Xp- 2 of these and you're set for overkill 

     

    If you don't need monitors, add cooling loop, more storage, and upgrade CPU (if you want)

  10. Definitely depends what kind of music you're playing. For $209 it's not bad, especially if you're just learning. You don't need anything to fancy when beginning and, honestly, you probably wouldn't even be able to feel a difference. 

     

    That being said, if as you pick up you decide to invest more into it, I'd definitely look into a new amp and eventually a new guitar. The amp, as many before me stated, isn't going to be powerful enough for any kind of a performance. Furthermore, the clean sounds will be thin and the gain sounds extremely mushy. The guitar should last you for a a couple years, but I'd look into getting a guitar more specific to the genre of music you like eventually, and expanding your budget to do so.

     

    You could also look into buying a used guitar and amp in the future, but I'd be wary based on conditions. I, personally, only buy used but it's up to your discretion.

     

    Overall, this is a great and beginner friendly set up to get into the guitar and learn, and it is definitely worth it for the price. That being said, I would consider upgrading the amp, then the guitar, down the line.

     

    Hope this helped!

    9-18% increase....I'd rather just buy two 1080ti and sli them, which is my plan since my friends selling me his for 400usd when he buys one of these Titans.

    Damn what kind of deep learning is your friend doing

    The cost and spec of the GTX1180Ti are still up in the air but lookinh at the GTX1080Ti specs which is similar to the Titan xp is likely to be the same case. 8GB HMB seems to be plenty for 4K but barely enough for 8K.

    If they're plenty for 4k then that's fine by me honestly. Hopefully the new x80 cards will allow the "upcoming" ASUS and Acer 4k 120hz monitors worth purchasing

    I expect the gain to be a lot more in games... what the fuck is this? 26% better in game? Im pretty sure the jump from titan x maxwell and titan xp was much bigger than that... so is this a failed gaming architecture that they are advertising towards AI because its not very good in games? Idk?

    It's clearly "good" in games, but it's being advertised for deep learning. The fact that there are tensor cores reflects that its target market is, in fact, machine learning applications, and thus is most likely not a "failed gaming architecture." Not every card is made for gamer culture.

    Am I the only one bothered by the fact they do not use the same cpu in those graphs at the end?

    It bothered me as well at first, but the differences are significant enough (atleast in my opinion) that it doesn't really matter.

    this will be the king of the hill GPU until nVidia pulls a stunt and release a Titan V2

     

    the GTX 1180Ti is sure to be at least 80-90% close to the Titan V with a few cores chopped and lesser HBM VRAM like 11GB instead of 12GB all for a price of 1k USD

    They'll probably reduce to the ~700 USD like the 1080ti through reducing tensor cores, which don't seem to be beneficial for gaming.

    Incidentally: Jay is doing a build for Post Malone and I'm sure that guy could afford a ton of money. The card looks trashy and all but I mean, it's a build for this dude:

     

      Reveal hidden contents

    image.png.eda03d25218b8b2465e8af626e1dff74.png

    So it might just be one of the first major builds with it.

    The second I saw this card I hoped Jay would put it in Post's build. In the video, they talked about a Louis Vuitton build, which would go PERFECT with this card.

    Vega 56 is better then the 1070/1070ti (in terms of market value, the 1070ti makes no sense when you could get a 1080 for basically the same price.) Navi is going the Ryzen way. That might be the way to do it. get 2-4 Polaris sized chips (shrunk on 12nm 232mm²*3/4=174mm²) you get 9216 stream processors at around 150W to 300W TDP and you might have yourself a winner lineup but that seems unlikely.

    RX480 on 12nm with hbm would probably pull about 90watts (30-40W saved from going hbm2 and 10-20 from die shrink)

    I was specifically referring to the 64, there is clearly an argument for 56 at the price point, and I agree the 1070ti doesn't really make sense. Hopefully Navi is competitive, because seeing some actual GPU competition would be great.

  18. 1 minute ago, Misanthrope said:

    I can certainly see why they said "Yeah we're not releasing shit for a while now if this is all Vega can do".

     

    Because if they needed to, that is if AMD could actually touch the 1080ti right now, I'm sure they'd just release it at 2000k and say "Oh look, it's for gamers too after all! Rich ones, but still"

    They could even make it price *competitive* by knocking off those tensor cores

    Vega wasn't that impressive of an architecture, was it? I haven't really kept up with there side of stuff or both size 

    Vega wasn't groundbreaking, but it's main claim to fame seemed to have been price to performance (until they became impossible to obtain)

  20. Just now, RagnarokDel said:

    yeah in that sense absolutely. I dont know what AMD's going to do. They cant compete with 815mm² die. Those wafers are literally costing more then their weight in gold nowadays.

    With the *opinion don't flame me* flop of Vega (particularly 64), NaVi is going to have to be pretty hecking powerful in order to compete. Either that, or all the miners need to buy up Volta, leaving us with NaVi as the only option.

  21. 2 minutes ago, RagnarokDel said:

    How is this compelling? You could get 2 1080 TIs in SLI, have better performance and have 1800$ left in your pockets to spend on blow and hookers.

    My main claim was that the Volta line may be a significant improvement over the Pascal line, not that it makes any sense to buy this specific card for gaming.

  22. 2 minutes ago, BuckGup said:

    What do you expect from over 2000 more cuda cores and HBM2 memory. I am more fascinated by the tensor cores

    That's true. The only real market for a $3000 graphics card is organizations and individuals engaging in deep learning activities. The tensor core technology positions this as much more attractive for organizations in machine learning, especially compared to its predecessor $3000 card the Titan X.

     

     

    Oh, and Linus.
