I don't mind sticking with the Nano to be frank. But I just wanted to know if I can get away with playing HL:Alyx on it given that no other VR game has given me problems.
I just want to be able to run Half-Life:Alyx. I already have all the gear setup. My only drawback is that I am 2GB short on VRAM...
...but Valve'll let me still play the game, right? If I can cheat my way by just having 4GB then I'll still be a happy camper since that means I don't need to...
Isn't the 1660 still lower than the R9 Nano in terms of performance? I thought the 1070mini/1080mini would be more in line with something that performs slightly better?
...Or does the 1660 super actualy outclass those two?
I've been pretty happy with how my R9 Nano has lasted me in performance so far, but the recent reveal of Half-Life Alyx and its 6GB VRAM requirement gave me cause for concern: Can I still get away with playing the game on this GPU? Other VR titles haven't seem to have given me an issue so far...
I should've made myself more clear: I'm refering to the ROG Crosshair VIII in particular. They seemed to have cleard the space around the CPU t allow for more coolers, and the SO.DIMM.2 riser card for the M.2 drives is optional, so it could be removed if more space is needed.
I was thinking of pairing a Spartex/HG OSMI with an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact, considering the layout of the case already lends itself to the form factor, but I just wanted to be sure if anyone has tried this.
Better yet, is there a list of Mini-ITX cases which DO accept Mini-DTX despite...
Adding a listing of the Super cards would be nice, considering their powerdraw is much different from the regular RTX base cards. (I'm also wondering if a 5700/5700XT Mini has been announced yet.)
Since the "Sheet 2" section is unused, perhaps this could be a listing of good mobos to use with...
Looks like an update to the spreadsheet/FAQ is needed, considering the release of new PCIe4.0 standard and Ryzen 3000 chipsets, and not to mention the 5700/XT and RTX Super cards.
Even for gaming scenarios, having an optical drive for backwards compatibility is still kinda crucial. (After all, you need to rip the image off the disk first before you can play it.) I'm pretty sure there are us out there who still play MechWarrior 2.
