    Dang! Ya’ll I got fired today. Been with the company 6 years now. I’m kind of relieved. 😌 PS: I ordered a Alphacool block for my 5080! 😎

    New BIOS from ASUS added new memory overclock settings (tCCD_L, tCCD_WR and tCCD_WR2) that basically seems do nothing whatsoever. BIOS 2304 seems OK for me. Changed "Auto" to the recommended 21-84-42 but see no change in performance noted using my daily driver settings. Haven't tested my max OC with the chiller, but I don't expect any change. I guess it must be better just because you can adjust new settings that do nothing.

    They found it easier to make money screwing a quarter as many people four times worse per sale. As long as it looks fancy, or just plain goofy, and has RGB an idiot is going to buy it (likely using high interest credit) no matter how hard they are getting screwed. Form over function. Ice cream for all the kiddies.

    NVIDIA finally announces their CPUs. NVIDIA Spark ARM CPUs, with (up to) 6144 Blackwell CUDA cores and (up to) 128 GB of unified memory. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/06/nvidia-gets-into-the-arm-pc-business-with-new-high-end-rtx-spark-processor/ Lots of comparisons to what Apple has been doing with laptops. If the efficiency is good and the price is right, it could be really compelling. Interested to see how it develops.

    I upgraded my x170km from 144hz to 360hz (Alienware 17) but lcd edp connector is also 40 pin but 0.4 or 0.5 pitch, different from OEM. I use adapter from AliExpress, and installed well. Works flawless but no G-Sync because lcd isn support factory. No needs changing lcd cable. I have Origin bios dump, i make backup before flashing xmg. Command FTP. But i don't know about version.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/254297767533 I'm not sure if it's against policy, but here's the x bracket I used. It worked fine for me.
  10. Durabat
    I think I ordered my x bracket off ebay. I needed one with just the "X", the factory one has an extra piece that will hit components in the card. I didn't touch the vbios, just used nvcleanstall to modify the latest driver at the time and it works perfect. I don't notice any throttling, though I don't gsme on it all that much either. Just for the fun of it.

    Works, but disassembled. Outer great condition, also has extra performance cpu heatsink (3pipes) and gpu performance ( custom full copper for gtx10xx ) heatsink for additional money

    @Daedalus well I thought that till I spent a few weeks trying to get a screen working with an Nvidia card 😂 blank screens are hard to fault find , but I do love DC screens the colours are amazing. It does look nice on the AMD Firepro , just not that good as its only got 1 GB vram , it came with a 1TB 5400rpm HDD so performance is slow , but it will be built on an SSD but can't till I get this video issue sorted , I want to use this copy of Win 10 as a test bed for drivers etc before building a final version on SSD . I am on a HP 8760w with a DC screen now , never felt inverter get really hot ? it's been on for 6 hours now lots of video etc but nothing crazy and its probably warm to the hand ( 40-45c ) however I am always on 230w power supply so no heat from battery .( Ambient 20-25c ) On my old 8740w with DC the converter board behind screen was missing a heat sink pad , putting one in made the back of screen cooler as it sinked away heat better rather than a hot spot that was hot to the hand 50-55c ? Why do I get this on @GuitarG posts , do I need to VPN to see it ? I am in UK.

    Get the Alienware M17X R4 120Hz or 17 R1 120Hz for eDP

    I kinda browsed around to see what cards are available. I ran across an interesting mod on ebay that there is a mxm to edp cable mod. I don’t know how much this will help with compatibility with certain cards. edit: would a m2000m + Tesla P6 work in peg?

    All the more reason Intel is better off shifting towards a foundry only company.

    You don't see many shunted and blocked 5080s. Let's see where that puppy can go! -------------------------------- Clearly we're into the next intra-phase of the 5000 series with specialized variants of cards dropping along all tiers including the 5090... MSI: New Suprim variant with more protections, monitoring and fuse..... Gaming updated cooler quieter.... in case you don't know, MSI 5090s don't have the most quietest of fans..... GIGABYTE: Gigabyte is all in on that "Infinity" aka TRON Lightcycle look which I do not like at all..... PNY: Even PNY is getting in the game offering their first AIO based 5090.... ASUS: Aesthetically, this might be my favorite 5090..... Would make for a killer all Asus BTF system and looks MUCH better than the Matrix while giving you the full 800w treatment.... https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-launches-800w-rog-astral-rtx-5090-edition-20-with-curved-oled-panel -------------------------------- Nvidia all in with CPUs with full Windows support..... https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-announced-rtx-spark-chip-for-windows-on-arm-with-rtx-gaming-support I just feel like Intel/AMD are under a true assault from many CPU makers now with ARM and it wouldn't take much for a downhill shift to ARM as the dominant consumer platform sooner than later. Once we get a true Apple like Rosetta translation situation going and making the transition fairly easy, I can see x86 becoming a thing of the past in the future. M$lop is fully in on ARM anyhow on their devices and operating systems. We've seen Apple's M chips equaling or flat out beating AMD and Intel desktop chips over and over again..... Nvidia with their resources and technology entering the arena could be the inflection point that has slowly been brewing....

    Here is bro @Mr. Fox next killer PC upgrade😁 And who need more than RTX5070 performance with all the fake frames. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra could be your killer PC upgrade Asus always find new ways to increase profits... Asus' monstrous ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 includes expansive curved AMOLED display — also debuts 3,000W power supply and striking PC case Beyond the significant frills (i.e. the screen, the design), it looks like the Edition 20 raises itself above ‘ordinary’ Astrals by leveraging boosted power delivery opportunities. Standout claims for this new graphics card include the provision of a dual-input power subsystem, with a detachable GC‑HPWR adapter, for providing up to 800W to the graphics card. Asus have also increased their prices for their graphics cards. This from the official Asus US Store... ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,329.99 And ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,529.99 Yup, the vanilla 5090 Astral is now above $4.300 USD on their official US Store. That's devastating. And I'm sure the Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 will cost around $5000. Prises have also increased here home. The Astral 5090 OC cost $3767,00 USD (MSRP) here or around $600 cheaper than in USA. Still, damn expensive. The use of Anniversary sales tactic is pure milk cow. Also Msi and Gigabyte milk as hard they can on this

    Okay so the RTX A5500 is soso Worse performance than the RTX 5000 Turing! Not even RTX 3080 LEVEL! Backlight mod works with the M17X R4. I tested it on the M6700, M17X R4 and even in the P775. Same results!!! HDMI (DP_C) doesn't work in the M17X and M6700 but works in the P775 It's not about the PCIe bandwidth as I tested with a PCIE x16 3.0 laptop. 8000 pts in TimeSpy (all) 22600 pts in firestrike (all) 160FPS in Heaven benchmark (M6700 and M17X R4) 235FPS (P775 wtf) ... Normally I should get 10000 pts in TimeSpy with the A5500 115W. X-Vsion told me it's a "132W" variant, that's a lie, the VBIOS has a max TDP of 115W. Very disappointed, don't buy the RTX Quadro Ampere from X-VSION!! Worse performance ever, just get the GeForce ones, they perform better and normally. By the way, why the card is consuming 20-30W in idle??? Turing and Ada cards I have do 5-8W in idle

    @Dink Damn you got a DC screen, you lucky soul. I wonder if the invertor under the screen area needs a heatsink of sorts as it seems to run hot. That said an AMD card shouldnt push it too much, heck even the M3000M should be fine. IIRC, the dell Bios are more amenable to our machines, as @JadeRover mentions seem to be more usable, the 980M i got from SuperMG on here has it i think as the card came from a 6700, so hoping i get lucky and get POST displayed. If you do get POST then at least you can flash a new VBios via NVflash, otherwise its oldskool via CH341A (which im not looking forwards to as its not 100% successful)
  20. SuperMG
    Please check the v2 thread and yes it was tested in simulation then in an Arduino then tested the signals again in the factory. I'll test it tomorrow (hopefully) with a M4800 + RTX 4070
  21. MELOCODI
    How will PWM work on the V2 cable? I am curios
  22. SuperMG
    Doesn't work. I tried that too
  23. SuperMG
    I made an update in the backlight mod v1 thread, you can see there
  24. Nizmeïster
    Hi, for the RTX A5500, have you tried different drivers? Have you also tried different IDs from the NvCleanInstall list? I noticed that sometimes selecting a different ID from the list could fix power throttling or performance drop issues. I had a similar problem on a GT60 with a Quadro RTX 3000. The GPU was experiencing power reduction, and I managed to fix it by choosing a different Quadro RTX 3000 hardware ID from the list. It might be worth a try. Also, make sure you're using the Quadro driver rather than a modified Game Ready driver.

    A4500 was 8 beeps. no pc not even aw18 was able to boot it with stock vbios. flashing dell vbios allowed it to boot but code 43. 7 beeps doesn't sound right, you said it can go into bios, so can you see that?
  26. tps3443
    I do think I’m probably going to shunt mod and waterblock this Zotac 5080. I been holding out hoping some magical 5090 deal comes along. But, I don’t think it’s going to happen.
  27. SuperMG
    So I tested the RTX A5500 115W with the last backlight mod v1 cable I had. It works in the M17X R4 eDP and Dell Precision M6700 eDP. So with the backlight mod v2 (PWM edition), it'll work too! DP_A works on M6700. DP_A on the M17X is the DMC Wireless DP to HDMI so I couldn't test. DP_B is HDMI on the card so it won't work in DP out. But DP_C (HDMI) on both aren't working... On the M17X R4 it detects the external HDMI but it does a "loop connection". The HDMI on the M6700 only works before the drivers initialize. I first tested the A5500 without backlight mod, it booted fine with the M6700 but with the M17X, there was 7 beeps. When I removed the custom heatsink and X-bracket, no more beeps and I could boot to Windows (no external display out). I do assume some interference occurred between the X-bracket and the motherboard, so I added some tapes and no issues (from now). The RTX A5500 performance is disastrous on both laptops, 160FPS in Heaven benchmark versus 190FPS with the RTX 5000. 3DMark TimeSpy 8000 points versus 9000 with the RTX 5000. Why is it that low?? Could someone help me?

    Well, I am glad that it turned out OK on the Jeep from a legal perspective. The Astral is a joke by most measurements. They are just overpriced cards with a fancy cooler. They do not have binned core or memory and their stock firmware has nothing going for it. I'm glad you didn't waste money on an Astral. I am 99% certain you would have gained nothing for the extra cost.
