Yup, that 3090's definitely not going to happen lol Btw HZD's had another update a couple of days ago. Haven't experienced any more crashes since

I wonder if I should just buy RTX 3080 now and then upgrade to next gen when those cards come out. 10GB is at least more than 8 GB... If they would release a new variant with 12 GB (and wider memory bus) or 20 GB version, it would feel a bit meh though. What to do, what to do... RTX 3080 annihilates RTX 2080 Ti in DOOM Eternal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7nYy7ZucxMIt would run circles around GTX 1070... Nice, should continue my playthrough. EDIT: Screw it, I'll get RTX 3080 directly from NVIDIA. Then 12-core Ryzen 4000 when it comes out later this year.

So, it's really itching then huh Shut up or I'll get infected too No doubt the 3080 will already be a huge improvement over the GTX 1070 though. What in terms of power consumption, Tup ? I see that compared to the GTX 1070 the RTX 3080's power usage has more than doubled. Btw currently at about 45% of HZD, not counting the Frozen Wilds expansion. Still no crashes, even after changing the frame rate back up to 60 FPS. Looks like Guerilla Games has been doing their best to fix these issues at least.

I only wonder how hot it will run or if it will warm up my room. I have Corsair AX760 PSU (i.e. very high quality modular unit from Seasonic) so I'm not worried about that. I've run my GTX 1070 overclocked so the consumption is a bit higher already: This time though, if undervolting is possible I'd probably try that instead (in my experience adding more voltage isn't worth it - increases heat). Not sure if I would even try to overclock it this time. Good, should be good to continue then.

I got the Corsair RM850X PSU. Honestly didn't really know which PSU to get when I built my PC, but it had a lot of good reviews and wasn't overly expensive. 850W is probably overkill, but with zero experience in building a PC it wasn't easy to estimate how much power I really needed. At least the PSU is future proof Now that I come to think of it it might have been useful at the time to check the wattage of the PSU in my previous PC.

AX760 was pretty expensive but it's very efficient, compact and I don't think I've ever even heard the fan turn on (also nothing in the dust filter)... In reviews some were pulling past 900W just fine. Also what's the best part: zero coil whine.

I don't think I ever experienced coil whine, so I guess I'm good to go with this PSU then. As far as dust build-up is concerned: the dust filter in the bottom of my case doesn't really get dirty either. I suppose it also helps that my PC isn't placed directly on the floor, but on a board with wheels The top filter of my case gets a little bit dirty, but is easily cleaned. I guess most dust is coming in through the front of the case, which is also where all the cat hair builds up, so that gets cleaned regularly.

Tup: cool screenshots as usual and I'm glad the game seems to be running much better for you as well. But is it just me or has anti aliasing gone downhill a bit? I seem to be getting a lot of jagged lines here even at the highest setting. Any PC case in particular? As far as liquid cooling is concerned I ended up with Corsair's H100i v2 liquid cooler (dual fans) for my current PC. It's my second liquid cooler from Corsair. The first one was the H80i (single fan), which I bought when the stock liquid cooler of my previous PC started malfunctioning, because of dirt building up on the fins of the radiator. In any case I haven't experienced the H80i that long, because of building my current PC and installing the H100i. But the H80i seemed to run fine. Didn't think it was overly noisy and the same goes for the H100i. It's still going strong. I don't even think I can hear the pump. Just a nice and even hum caused by all 6 fans in my system when it is running idle. I did look at air coolers too at the time, but chickened out when reading about a lot of cooling blocks getting in the way of the memory slots on the mainboard. If you have high memory modules that is. And since I had already set my mind on the Corsair Vengeance DDR4's with blue LEDs at the time... I didn't want to risk ordering an air cooler that would interfere with the memory slots. Might take a bit of puzzling installing an AIO liquid cooler. I've seen some videos of people installing the the fans of the cooling system in the front of their case, but there are also plenty of people who install the fans in the top of their case. Mine are in the top btw.

Antialiasing is working great: It's one of the better temporal antialiasing implementations. Judging by your first page screenshots you aren't running the game at native 4K resolution (you are using in game upscaling and/or dynamic resolution scaling). It would be unplayable anyway without heavy handed image quality settings reductions but that's the reason off poor image quality. It's upscaling from lower resolution. I game at 1440p @ 165Hz which is somewhat alright with GTX 1070 since my display has adaptive sync. 4K is really far from optimal for GTX 1070. By the way, I'm also forcing 16xAF from driver. In game implementation was poor/not working. No crashes either. I don't really have anything in mind at the moment. It would be quite hard to install AIO in my Define R4. It would be a pain to install on top and it might not be possible even then. At very least I'd have to reroute some motherboard power connectors in ugly manner (not that it really matters, it's not possible to see inside anyway). There are plenty of good bang for the € air coolers that have good compatibility. At the moment I'd buy Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B. Also with air cooling there's always less risk involved. By the way, I hate light pollution form PC almost as much as noise so RGB fans and such are big no no. If I'd go with AIO I'd be getting ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280/240.

Well, I suppose that these days there are more air coolers out there that are compatible with high memory modules. Ultimately I think I prefer the liquid cooler though. An air cooler like the one you mentioned looks way too bulky to me. Not an issue if you have a closed case, but mine's a window case. Of course someone else might find the tubing of a liquid cooler annoying. Guess in the end it all comes down to personal taste. Same goes for LEDs I guess. With all the lights in the room turned low at night I find it nice to have some light coming from my PC. I don't want to turn it into a disco, but a bit of static light coming from it feels kinda relaxing to me As far as the AA's concerned. Not sure where I can change these in game settings you mentioned. The AA didn't bother me in the beginning, but for some reason it seems worse now.

Well, there's always been decent air coolers with good enough clearing. My current one (Thermalright True Spirit 120M) is one of those - has done awesome job at keeping my overlocked 3770K cool and quiet. Generally speaking I don't care how things look inside my case as long as they perform well (and in when it comes to cooling, does it quietly). Turn adaptive performance fps off and set render scale to 100%. That will ensure native resolution rendering.

Well, render scale is at 100%.
Briefly played with Adaptive performance FPS at 30 FPS, same as the FPS limit I set when the game was crashing so many times. Can't remember AA bugging me as much then as it's been bugging me after the last update. Maybe going back in resolution is an option, but still...
Dumb question here: could this and the AA thing be a malfunctioning GPU issue? Have had several issues of screen tearing these past 6 months or so. Even when I was just browsing the Internet... So far rebooting has always made the problem go away. Nonetheless it still occurs every now and then. Seems really odd. I suppose I mentioned the screen tearing issue before, but could never find a clear answer.

So far rebooting has always made the problem go away. Nonetheless it still occurs every now and then. Seems really odd. I suppose I mentioned the screen tearing issue before, but could never find a clear answer. Could you post a lossless screenshot (png) of how the game actually looks like? Are you using latest drivers? Adaptive performance will dramatically reduce the rendering resolution for sure since GTX 1070 doesn't have enough horse power to run this game at 4K. I'd personally just run it at 1440p or even 1080p with 4K display - at least screenshots would look pixel perfect. By the way, the resolution changer is a bit bugged so if you play in exclusive full screen mode you need to select borderless and then again full screen or it doesn't apply the resolution properly. Tearing in browsers would mean that GPU acceleration is not on or that the driver crashes and browser reverted to software rendering. It will also depend on what browser you use. I did test how badly it runs at 4K maxed out (driver forced 16xAF, high quality texture filtering). The benchmark ran at very cinematic 24 fps. Honestly it's pretty much unplayable but the image quality was great.
