What card are you currently rocking?

Radox-0 · 8 Jul 2023 at 20:26

Main rig is 3090FE which is still very good. Could do with 4090FE with some amazing games coming up which I been waiting for years on (BG3, Starfield etc) but expect the 3090 will still do a decent job. So will wait until 50 series I expect.

On my now relatively old desktop rig, triple GTX x 1080Tis. At time was doing modelling work so was useful, now days mostly browse on that PC so no real need to upgrade. In theory could downsize, but love the case and the way triple GPU's does look cool filling up motherboard.

I love it! What’s the rest of the specs?

In that one 7980XE OC'd 64gb RAM and a 1600w AXI PSU. For that latter when I was into stressing system did see it hit that number nearly

So pretty old now in general, but as its mostly just browsing and some light games, it works well.

That’s an epic specification, very nice system. Yes I think it should handle browsing quite easily haha.

3090, day 1 release purchase. In September this card will be 3 years old! Spent it's entire life on water, hotspot and vram sits around 60c and core around 41-44c (depending on ambient) on gaming loads. Can't really fault it tbh, oh and no coil whine!

Wow! Very different, nice. Do you have pics of it in daylight?

Config has changed slightly since but not much, more so with the rear QD's as i've moved the large radiator onto a wall mounted shelf.

haha yeah, only need the 2 on the back of the case to cool the mobo VRM and the back of the gpu. System stays really cool, not heating issues like you can get with enclosed systems

. Plus i really love the vertical stack layout, next case or frame will be the same i think.

And you've got a space heater for the winter! Sorted.

Winter is amazing, literally keep warm in the office with the radiator connected to the rig. Can easily achieve 21c in the office without the heating on lol.

In summer, i've been tempted to hang the radiator outside but im worried the neighbours will give me a funny look, like im some sort of mad scientist :cry:

Lol. But the whole thing in the fridge. The cables will fit out the bottom.

Is dust an issue?

No issue with dust, its less maintenance than having an enclosed case lol. I only get dust settling ontop which i can wipe off with a microfibre. The rest of the case is pretty much dust free.

What case are you using?

XProto-L, they have a site where you can order from. Took around a week to arrive, i can't link it due to forum rules but if you google that it will come up. They have a few other as well that fit different use cases including a ATX variant of this case

Still on the Gigabyte 3090 Vision. I was sorely tempted by the 4090 but I have held strong so far and will wait out the next series.

It also matches the white NV7 pretty well, although looks small by modern standards!

BUDFORCE · 9 Jul 2023 at 19:27

3070 and I think it's a pretty rubbish card, was expensive, hasn't stood the test of time.

**** Nvidia.

Never again.
