    Note that the Handbrake that I used was x86 and thus the M1 had to run through the x86 emulator so its results are terrible there. Handbrake is working on a MAC ARM version for the M1 and once that is out I will retest.

    As real reviewers have shown, its pretty impressive.

    Edit: Updated graphs with the Handbrake 14.0-beta.1 run

    What would happen if computers never got any faster?

    Is it normal how Nvidia dried the market of all mid-to-high end GPUs (2070 to 2080Ti) for 4-6 months before next gen replacements?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2020 02:41 AM PST

    Normal = similar to past GPU launches

    Drying the market = Nvidia stopped shipments of 20 series chips above 2060 6 GB in August (older models well before that)

    This resulted in the current market with practically 0 stock of 2070 or above 20 series cards and inflated prices due to artificially created scarcity in the mid-to-high end.

    In September/October practically all stock of 2070 and above was depleted at ever higher prices. Now your only options are to either get an overpriced 2060 (its price now frequently wonders up to 30% above what it was in August because you're left with no other practical option anywhere close above it) or get a 3070, if you can find one, at min twice the price of a 2060.

    AFAIK as of today Nividia provided 0 official information about anything that would fill this galactic gaping hole they created between 2060 and 3070. Even if all rumours about 3060 come true, the hole will still be filled very very slowly and it's all but certain that 6 months after shipment of 2070 and above stopped, Nvidia will not have a single 30 series card on the market priced under 300 eddies.

    Obvious all of this would not be possible if competition from AMD wasn't the joke that it is but let's ignore that.

    My question is: Did Nvidia create this kind of artificial scarcity also in the past, in order to keep prices high?

    144hz and 60hz monitor setup

    Posted: 28 Nov 2020 02:11 AM PST

    I'm looking into buying a secondary monitor with the intention of using it 90 degree turned so that it stands upright. I'm planning to use the lower half for videos and the upper one for general web browsing, or stuff like this.

    Now I'm concered because I heard that using a 60hz Monitor can cause stutter on my main 144hz one. Is this still true? I also wanna know if someone is using a secondary monitor like I plan to do and if it is good at all. I'm using a Radeon 5700XT

    Can we stop it with all the posts/comments about how the naming of chips in nm doesn't actually accurately represent their size?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 10:29 AM PST

    I feel that in the last few months the amount of comments saying some form of "7nm doesn't mean it's 7nm anymore, it's just a marketing term" has risen to the point where almost every single thread has a top comment with it.

    Can we just put it on the sidebar or something? I feel we'll regain like 20% of the sub if we simply eliminated those posts and put 1 sentence on the sidebar.
