RTX 3090 worth it?

I’m on win10 and using a d9dx cooler my driver was just updated earlier this week

I already gotta new cpu 12th gen and a cooler I just don’t have the board to install yet

Do you know if the 6800 is better for topaz vs a 3080

16gb and its set to gpu always i can even set it on the lowest vram setting and it still crashes with reduce load off

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I thought the specs for VEAI said that it can only use 8-12GB of VRAM at a time. If this were so- the 24GB on the 3090Ti would be pointless.
Correct me if I am wrong on this- because I have also been looking at the 3090.
(Although one of the replies on here makes me wonder if I should just wait for the 40 series)

Do you know if the 3080 is best to go with or the 6800

How much difference would you say

when i use reduce load topaz crashes even when using the lowest vram setting i gotta 3060 and my cpu is 3930k the temp maxes in the 70s
this only happens when i use a 720p vid going to 1080

when i use 480 to 720 and have reduce load on it doesnt crash do you know if this is cause my cpu is old

I have a 12th gen I’ll be upgrading to but I dont have the board yet so I’m wondering if I will have this problem with that chip to or not

But wouldn’t a updated chip help you with different models thats a old chip you got like mine but newer

I’ll do that new win install and let you know if I still get those crashes would you say that topaz needs more updates to stop that crashing it can’t be a coincidence that it happens alot

I would like to use the reduce mode when its on it takes 2hr for a 25min ep going from 480 to 720 with a 3060

With the reduce on it takes 1hr and 30-20
Both modes used with proteus

I wonder if I still would get lower render times coming from my 3060 to the 6800

Would you say it’s possible for me to have a hr or more cut off with the gpu upgrade

But you said amd runs better wouldnt more updates to topaz make the cards run better

that time you told me is good cause that’s a longer vid then what I told you I work with

thats like the same time I told you that I get with shorter vid so shouldnt I be able to get shorter times if im working with shorter vids

My reasons for OC’ing the CPU are not merely for use with Topaz. I do plan to undervolt the CPU/Chipset while in BIOS as I OC. But I will be doing it in gradual steps; it’s a time-consuming process… Adding the Peltier Effect will still be an immense help in this effort.

The first thing I must do however, is obtain a bigger PSU.

Also, I’m primarily interested in using the Sub-Zero cooler on a system with a 10 core i9-10900K which will not have a Nvidia GPU mounted on it for the time being.

You mean that the plate consumes 200 Watts. I have never seen any documentation that suggests this gives the Cooler Master Sub-zero that limitation. If so, it would be practically useless…

BTW: Where ifyou get this information?

I see so its better for me to get a monster 3080 cause of topaz in the future will have updates that will use the tensor

I do hear that right now is the best time to get a 3080. They’re trying to sell them all before the 4000 series comes out.

Yea I know all the cards will be going for cheaper when the 40s come

The way I hear it, they’re trying to make it so that they are all sold by then. Meaning the pricing will go up for them once the 40s come out.

I figure they will be even cheaper when its closer to the 40s coming cause they wanna get rid of them

Amazon and other places other then ebay is the only place to buy from knowing a card is really new or as said the description

I wont get a amd its not worth it for getting such small difference in times that i won’t notice im looking to see a big jump

According to Developer,

So the morel of the story is: Tenser cores are just not all that amazing for this type of work load.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m going to return it. I’ve already gotten past that benchmark with an AIO. I have an even larger AIO for another case that I’m going to move it into. (My machine is already into the PassMark 99th percentile, with the CPU the ‘weak’ spot.) I’m hoping to improve on that.

not yet but will be better

topaz having more updates should use the cores better i wonder if 2 cards will run better then 1 in the future like they do in blender i would like that alot cause i could instead just get another 3060 and save cash instead of getting a 30 or 4080
