PS Fan Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 NVIDIA Graphics Cards To See Price Increases Due To Memory Shortages http://wccftech.com/nvidia-graphics-cards-see-price-increases-starting-month-due-memory-shortage/ Quote The report indicates that we will start seeing price increases on NVIDIA’s entire lineup, top to bottom. Including the GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1070, GTX 1060 and and going all the way down to the GTX 1050. The price increase is expected to amount to approximately 10% and take effect starting in early September. The report claims that GDDR5 memory suppliers, Samsung and SK Hynix, have already taken action to cut their GDDR5 chip supply for the discrete graphics card market. They have also taken pricing action amounting to a 30.8% increase on GDDR5 memory effective immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 ^^just take it with a pinch of salt. Because: 1. wccftech article. 2. The source reported it as 3-10%. Not approximately 10%. Consumer demand for graphics cards may be undermined by price hikes arising from GDDR memory shortage and first-tier vendors are expected to raise their Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080/1070/1060/1050 graphics card pricing by 3-10% at the end of August, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

pixeljunkie Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) @WhiteWolf I've included a link to a paper that details virtual caching that improves bandwidth and power consumption by significantly reducing TLB misses for heterogeneous systems. Note that the system they used for simulation is a heterogeneous APU that uses only a single, distinct memory subsystem as shared memory. Its configuration strongly indicates that it's a Ryzen 5 2500U APU outfitted with a Vega iGPU that has 16CU. The new APU uses AMD's implementation of HSA that they're calling Heterogeneous Unified Memory Architecture (HUMA). It is very similar to Nvidia's Unified Memory Access (UMA). Hope this clears any and all of your doubts you may have with this technology. EDIT: Got the math for the CU configuration wrong. The final R5 2500U APU will ship with a total of 1024 installed shader cores alongside multiple SKUs ranging from a flagship SKU that features all activatedd 16CUs to enthusiast and consumer grade SKUs with differing number of deactivated CUs resulting in lower shader core count. The desktop APUs will most likely have more activated CUs than its mobile counterparts. Edited September 19, 2017 by pixeljunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohit9206 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 http://www.pcgamer.com/dram-prices-could-skyrocket-after-already-doubling-in-the-last-year/ Quote Don't be surprised if that DRAM kit you've been looking at goes up in price. According to IC Insights, the average selling price (ASP) of DRAM has more than doubled in the past 12 months and is still on the rise. Looking at 2017, the market research firm expects DRAM pricing to jump by 40 percent or more by the end of the year, which would be its largest annual increase ever (going from January to December).

PS Fan Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=249523719 How can Steam allow such sh*t on their store front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Don't see what's wrong. Plus, Valve makes money. It's up to people if they want to buy it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 @WhiteWolf I agree; such trash needs to go. With the recent Blue Whale controversies as well, Steam should not encourage such trash that will give depressed and sick people ideas. Either ideally they should be removed or at least put in a different sub category where it can get lost in the thousands of other shovelware that releases every day.

Heaven Angel Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) The developer can select the category and change whenever they want. Valve has no control over it. Even if Valve changes, the developer can simply log in and change it back. Steam is very well curated and you won't find these trash unless you are looking for it. The game was released on 21st and it is not even listed under new releases. GAF just likes to overreact at every single thing and then go ahead and buy it.

Heaven Angel Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) They all use the same PCIe slots. The downside would be less cooling due to the small cooler. But it's fine unless you live in crazy hot weather and have zero external cooling. I believe Gigabyte’s mini has only one cooler which is kind of less. Go for the Zotac mini instead.

HEMAN Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 zotac gtx 1080 mini for 40k is a good buy and it performs similar to normal cards. It draws very less power since its only 1 8 pin connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
