Do you think in the next few years i’ll find a use for that much vram in gaming (i’m at 1440p) or will it just be a nice to have. In Vr it will really help if i have mods but that’s about it

I will only be using the 3090 for gaming (and vr), not as a workstation card. I know its performance is only slightly above a 3080ti, but considering the higher vram capacity and future reselling value, £30 more for a 3090 seems very reasonable. But is it even worth it to me? Cpu = 12600k Psu = Txm 750

Hi, i’m set on purchasing a rtx 3090 after lots of research. I’m planning to choose either the Zotac Trinity one (£560) or the MSI Gaming X Trio (£600). The Msi one is obviously higher quality, would you spend the additional £40? Both have the same 2 year warranty from the trusted store i’m purchasing from. If any other information is required just let me know! PSU = TXM 750 1440p 165hz 12600KF 32gb 3200mhz

Not at all saying you are wrong here but i have never heard or seen anything about doubling the “average power draw” of a gpu to determine the most it might draw. I could understand adding like 100W to get an estimate but from what i know, doubling it seems a bit extreme.

Apologies for not providing that. It’s the I5 12600KF As far as i’ve seen elsewhere it is good for any of the cards here. Would you agree? Thanks

Sorry what are transients?

Hi! I’m looking to purchase a new gpu and these are my current options and their prices: Rtx 4070 Super = £580 Rtx 3090 = £580 Rtx 4070ti = £640 My concerns are the lack of frame generation on the 3090 - though i have tried frame gen and don’t love it in all games. I’m really worried about only 12gb vram on both the 4070 super and ti as i want this card to last a few years. Sadly the 4070ti super (and above) is just too expensive. My psu = Corsair TXM 750 My case has good cooling and have undervolted before so could do that to offset the heat of the 3090 Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Would it be worth the upgrade though or should i just buy a new mobo and higher gen cpu

The seem to be so close to one another. Is there going to be a cpu bottle neck here? Main issue is that my mobo is limited to 9th gen max and so new cpu means new mobo as well :(( Other notable specs: 2tb nvme ssd 16gb ddr4 2666mhz (can’t remember mobo but it doesn’t allow for OC) Oh and just remember to add i play at 1440p

When running my Vega 56 Asus strix in games, the gpu temps sits at about 81 degrees centigrade. Although this is quite warm I know it is safe and not harmful to the card. However, the GPU memory reaches a temp of 88 degrees centigrade at a peak and sits at about 87 on average. Are these temps anything to worry about?

It is not over heating, all temps are below 75 Will not respond at all until hard shut down Any idea what the issue is and how to fix? Specs: i5 9600KF 16gb ddr4 2660 mhz Asus strix rx vega 56 8gb PSU= Corsair TXM 750W Gold Thanks

okay will do, thanks

I'm not sure what's happening but even with just 1 mod installed CPU is running 70% with no enemies and 90-100 when there are enemies and this bottleneck causes alot of lag. any ideas??

save to get what tho?

Are there any cheaper options you can recommend something around £70?

Yeah it's not a great situation but I did some research and found that 9600k Vs OC 9600k aren't that huge of a difference so what should I do?

I am upgrading from an i5 8400 as it is lagging behind in VR. I play alot of very CPU demanding VR games like blade and Sorcery. Which CPU is a better upgrade for me? For the Ryzen I would have to buy a new mobo but I can get the Gigabyte A320M-S2H for £50 and as Ryzen 5 2600x are very cheap, bundling the two together is similar priced to an i5 9600k So which CPU will be most effective for me? Other specs: Vega 56 12gb ddr4 2660mhz 2tb 7200 rpm HDD 120gb ssd (current mobo) MSI H310m pro-vh TXM 750W psu Thank youuu

upgrading from i5 8400 is this a good option? budget max £200. title says it all really thanks also on CPU user benchmark it ranks 11th and i5 8400 ranks 65th ISH.

so all fans at max? :))))

My vega 56 has all 8gb of vram used in blade and sorcery and this is causing awful lag, however the culprit isn't the amount of vram, its that the game is limiting the clock speed of the vram to 500mhz or 167mhz (nothing different) when in other games it can run up to its full 920mhz. How to I fix this so that the game using the full speed of my vram? thanks

what screen on time are you all getting? just curious so I know roughly what to expect. I do know that alot of factors determine this and it will be different for everyone just want a brief idea. thanks :):):):)

How do they compare in real usage?

I would want to change from 1440p to HD+ is this possible btw i want to do it to save battery. ty

I have been playing blade and sorcery and i noticed it was very laggy and looking at usages i can see that it is using all 8gb of vram although I am well above recommended specs and im playing on lowest graphics and still getting incredibly low fps any suggestions on why its using so much? the minimum specs is 4 gb of vram and recommended is 8gb so I should be fine especially on low settings. all other components are well below 100% usage thanks
