New PRICE DROP! Please buy! Backlight mod v2 with PWM control: https://ebay.io/m/6xLqRv

Hello. This card looks like an early sample or ES of the 5060 by looking at the VRMs. They took the B design rather than the A design. Well, anyway I’m pretty surprised that they used a desktop core here. I’ve never seen anything like this not even in a photo. Did you check the VBIOS? To find out the TDP and display settings? It looks like it has a 145+5W TDP, 3xDP, and 1xHDMI. The TDP power slider and fan RPM slider are available here too. Since this is an integrated graphics card, you need to enable the backlight pins and, if possible, add PWM brightness control. That's no problem for me. Is the 5060 model on par with the 4070? Hard to say. I think sliderfra has an eDP R3/R4 cable. Thanks, I already have it. My R4 has an RTX 3080 16 GB card in the PEG slot; there’s no need to upgrade it because of the processor and its lack of support for the latest instructions. So what would you recommend? Is this a waste of time? I’m just pointing out that if the modification is successful, it could then be implemented on other platforms with newer CPUs of course.Maybe this could be useful for the people here looking to the future.

I have now flashed the DSanke ModBios. The new I5-9400F is working fine, but now I can’t install the driver for the original GTX 980. Systems says no compatible device found. Is it now like the old days that I have to mod the NVIDIA driver?

I dropped the core count to 6. I was able to reach 4.0GHz all cores and 4.1GHz single but crashes in TS bench. I raise voltage by +100mV but it still runs at 1.23V... But when I want to go higher than 4GHz, bios doesn't allow and restarts. Is the CPU a bad one? Never got any problems at 3.8GHz all cores Edit: switching from 6 cores mode back to 8 cores, destroyed the CPU! It does lots of error at 3.4GHZ!!! IN TS bench. Wow at least I paid like 30€ back then but wow. Guys, this CPU is dead yes? Or is the motherboard dead?

Hello if someone wanna help me about the Xeon E5-1680 v2 overclocking issues: https://notebooktalk.net/topic/3205-clevo-p570wm-cant-overclock-xeon-e5-1680-v2-to-4ghz-and-beyond/#comment-69327

Hello. I can't overclock this CPU to 4GHz and beyond. It's an unlocked 8 cores CPU for the X79 chipset. My laptop has dual fan and good heatsink for that CPU. It has the PremaMod V5 bios. I use the BIOS overclock ratio, it only shows 6 cores instead of 8. So I overclock all cores to 42x, 43x and even 50x but I'm stuck at 39x for single thread and 38x for multi-thread. The current limit is 165A and power limit is 200W. I use 2x330W PSU. I tried to use Intel XTU 4.1 and 5.1 but they all throw a blue screen of death "iocbios2.sys". I tried lower speed RAM and I still have the same issue. Why can't I get 4.0GHz and above like everyone else? I know two people who got 4.3GHz and 4.5GHz... how?

The RTX 5090 is Already an RTX Pro GPU... The last and final true real high end gaming card was the RTX 4090. And you won't see similar again. And be careful with your 5090 card. If it breaks, you're left with an overpriced 5080 as your only alternative if gaming is what you use it for.... Because thats the only card you can afford or can buy. The 4 year old 4090 is close to $3000 in the used market. So not an option. Yup, there you have it. The 4090 was a great deal in the days🙂 I still have my 4090 HOF, and it’s going to stay in my possession. As well a great backup card for my 5090 if the worst happens. You never know with new modern tech (fragile, cost cuttings and all too expensive).

Hmm. I got to looking at what that first video mentioned about REA and found some free clones of PhotoShop, Acrobat and Premier created using AI. Interesting. https://getartcraft.com/apps I am testing them and they seem pretty good. PhotoCraft seems to function the same as PhotoShop without the learning curve of Gimp or Krita. Available for Windows and Linux, installer or portable.

No end yet :O) w8 & old Dell Latitude doing fine, zero problems. Browsing, light photo editing, streaming, bt music. Browsing, some website errors here and there but almost ok using Firefox Extended Support, still getting updates. Not bothered by security concerns, w8 surely of minimal interest as a target, in view of the 4 people still using it. Nice behaviour (!) from MS, Defender support continues.

Hopefully AI will make AI as a commodity a losing financial proposition and all of these clowns will end up broke and scrambling to keep the lights on. They're angling now to take away our hardware to make us all dependent rather than independent. That's probably one of the reasons 5090 is grossly overpriced and being taken away from consumers. If they don't stop it, open source will destroy their tech monopolies. I hope they fail and it ends badly for them all.

I have a ring for Jensen to kiss. It's called a sphincter.

I've been running the 9070xt and then the 5080 for over a week now as I slowly test and certified the Dark Hero "ready for deployment," and moved it into the Phanteks so I've kind of got used to playing WoW and Fallout on the Dark Hero with the 9850X3D running at 5600+ with the Corsair Vengeance 9200 sticks tuned to 8000. The overall setup is basically a tighter, slightly faster refinement over my Hero + 9800X3D + TG 8200 sticks on all levels. I do like how the Dark Hero drops the primary GPU slot down another notch. It really centers the GPU in a nice way depending on case or gets it even closer to bottom fans for stronger air flow which will be the case when all this moves into the H9 Flow Then I slapped the 5090 back in there yesterday and was quickly brought back to reality just how much better it is overall in every way.... I'm also running the Lian Li 360 Lite now after having run the Noctua 420 for several days. The Lian Li actually fits up top on the Phanteks and after adjusting the pump curve (same as I had to do with Noctua) it is running just as quiet. Fans aren't as quiet but quiet enough. Continued testing back and forth and the Lian Li runs just as cool as the Noctua and both trounce all my other AIOs so I'm going to send back the Noctua as it isn't worth the $300 vs the $85 Lian Li with AM5 at least. I do need to set up an RMA with Asus to replace my x870e Hero due to the flickering/dying RGB logo panel. Doesn't affect the board at all, but for resell it will put a dent in its value for those who care. 19 months of solid service handling 8000+ like a boss.... ----------------------------- Yeah, the sudden lack of 5090s on the shelf and price spike followed by the leak from a factory. Classic Jensen. Trust me, Jensen will continue to pillage the consumer sector to feed the AI segment as the GB203 full fat die is already used in the RTX 4500 with 32GB of memory. If that card was in greater demand on the level of GB202 cards, Jensen would have no problems gobbling up those dies. If Nvidia suddenly introduced let's say a RTX 4600 with the GB203 and 64GB of memory for $7500 and it became a smash hit being sucked up like the 090 / 6000 cards, 5080s would suddenly shoot to 2000+ to start if not more and stock would start to dwindle fast. ------------------------------------ 5080 24gb rumored for January as 5080 is discontinued and the 5090 goes through an "allocation change" vs a flat out discontinuation which makes sense in case the AI bubble collapses they can just go, "Hey AIBs! Look! GB202's are back!! Kiss the ring!" https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-rtx-5080-24gb-reportedly-launching-in-q1-2027-board-partners-still-waiting-for-details

No, I haven't done it yet.

Hello. This card looks like an early sample or ES of the 5060 by looking at the VRMs. They took the B design rather than the A design. Did you take a look at the VBIOS? To see the TDP and the display tables? Since it's an embedded card. You need to enable the backlight pins and add PWM brightness control if possible. Is the 5060 = 4070 level? I think sliderfra has a R3/R4 eDP cable. My R4 has an RTX 3080 16GB in PEG, no need to upgrade because of the CPU and its lack of recent instructions.

Luckily I managed to get this GPU card through a barter trade at the local market. I'm not sure if I'm seeing correctly or if I'm going to mad, but take a look at the NVIDIA GBxxx chip number. I also bought a damaged M17x R3 motherboard very cheaply, so I will repair it and try to get running that card on this platform by modifying the BIOS. I will use a 14" 2K 165Hz eDP LCD display since that's the only one I have. That's the little idea. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap 40-pin eDP cable for the R3 or R4? I'm assuming it's the same for the R4 model.

I already have the Prema mod installed. Did you install the 64GB RAM, PCIE 3.0 patch? Successful?

Additionally, the update procedure for the modified BIOS is likely almost the same. After the update, a "1394 GUID error" will likely occur, so a fix will be required.

When I installed the Prema Mod, I used Rufus to create a bootable USB drive (formatted as MS-DOS) and simply copied the BIOS data onto it. Then, I plugged the USB drive into a USB 2.0 port, set the boot order to prioritize that drive, and—after booting up—typed "update" to run the batch file. After that, I simply followed the on-screen instructions. If you have the Prema mod, a readme file is included, so it is a good idea to check it. It contains the update instructions.

Did you successfully install the BIOS on your P570WM3? I know you have one because before I tried to send you a friend request on Discord about purchasing a P570WM. Can buffermod allow Xeon E5-1680 v2 overclock past 4GHz? I am stuck at 3.8GHz all cores, no matter what I do. The BIOS overclocking doesn't like the 8 cores. Only 6 cores overclocking works like 4.2, 4.5Ghz..

There should be a in-BIOS update picker if I recalled correctly. Official method to update the BIOS requires MS-DOS environment. You may include the BIOS binary file together with AFUDOS.exe utility into the memdisk image.

Okay its time for an update, i did Steel Nomad benchmark twice, once on Optimus, once on Native. On optimus i got 1066 points On native rendering i got 1086 points I iam using Windows10Update41 from Ghost Spectre, which is a debloated version of the OS. after switching from optims to native i had to reinstall the drivers using NVCleanInstall but with a diffrent device id i found in device manager. I got Witcher 3 Remastered running on it, with non-pascal-supported settings turned off it goes 30-50fps on Uber+ and 50-80fps on High.

Holy crap.. So that’s why the price shot up. I guess word got out about EOL. So maybe xx90 is gone forever and xx80 will be king again. I suppose it doesn’t hurt for 5090 owners right now. And maybe in the next gen, we will have a viable xx80 or xx80Ti that’s actually fast! This may be a good thing in a few years. AI has gotten ridiculous. And they are gobbling the 5090, so maybe they’ll be uninterested in 5080 or 6080 or 7080. Makes sense though, they want to sell more fresh releases RTX Pro 5500’s for MORE MONEY! And they need those 5090 cores! 💀

Yes, I just tested with my water cooled 5080 and confirmed it works 100%. This needs to be on the chiller to avoid overheating, but even with the insane thermals without the chiller and thermal throttling it came within striking distance of my Speedway high score.
