Well, it has been a fantastic run with Intel making their own chips in house. I guess everything comes to an end. It was awesome having gobs of inventory at launch, chips that never sell out. 😁

Let’s trade 4090’s, and I’ll send some cash too lol. 😆 (Being serious 😄)

Yeah my 3090 Kingpin Hydro Copper overclocked like a MAD MAN! This 4090 Gaming OC does good on ram OC. I have had it set at +1600 on the GDDR6X and that's a 100% reliable OC for it. But the core, lolz even just +135 can crash sometimes with auto fan. I usually run +125 on the core which will give me 2,895-2910. I did the math, and I determined with a water block, and with a chiller, my GPU would probably run about 30c-32c like my 3090KP did. But, even with those CRAZY low temps, I would only gain +6.2 steps on the Nvidia boosting algorithm. So with the card at 35c or less, with my current 2910Mhz it would run 3,000Mhz exactly. That's pretty sad! That is a guaranteed locked in 3.0Ghz no more no less. Unless the core had something magical happen with the temps being really low, like if its below 50c or if its below 40c maybe it miraculously changes its behavior and its happy with 3,100Mhz or something like that lol. But, Its not exactly guaranteed. The only thing that is, is the 3,000Mhz at due to the low 35c load temps which is pretty terrible for any 4090 lol. Your card at 35c would probably run 3.2Ghz+ 🤣

I been thinking about buying another 4090, and selling my 4090 Gaming OC. I can probably grab one for about the same price. I really want a better overclocker lol. Seems like a silly time though since 5090 is close. Maybe I will go ahead and sell mine soon and get ready for RTX5000 series.

Since the latest update, this title runs really well. I leave all of the fancy graphic settings on. Film grain, motion blur, chromatic aberration, all of it looks nice in this title. With DLSS Quality+Frame Gen, and Outlaw Graphics settings which are useable. It can run at 60FPS average. And It looks stunning. One more thing, now I’m not sure if you can Force Rebar on that GeForce NOW setup, but I saw a MASSIVE fps boost from doing so. Something like +6 or 7fps alone. When you are getting only 54-56fps, this is an absolutely massive performance improvement.

No sure what GFN is 20fps? lol. No way. This game is very demanding. But even on 4K+DLSS Quality+FG and Outlaw Graphics, I average 60+ fps, my minimums are typically 40-45 fps and not often mostly due to skips. If you set RTX Dynamic lighting to “High/Ultra” thats gonna boost you another +10-15fps on top. Not much of any overclock, my GPU doesn’t really overclock hardly at all. But running just 4K/DLSS Quality/FG and Normal “Ultra” this game is like 84fps average.

Hopefully they have enough VRAM for those of us using 4K and DLSS, I’m almost tapped out, once full the 1% lows begin to tank lol. 😆 Yep, that’s over 24,000MB or 23.51GB of VRAM consumed in Star Wars Outlaws 😱 This title LOVES the GDDR6X overclocks. I remember when the Titan RTX first released. It was a pumped up and glorified 2080Ti with 24GB of GDDR6, it was so overwhelmingly impressive back then. I remember thinking no way we will use that much VRAM. And yet, here we are pushing the limits on our 4090’s lol. Anyways, that Titan AI sounds and looks SICK! 63% faster? OMG. 😱

Yep, it’s like $17.99 USD. So someone could buy the monthly membership, and then just cancel it, and they’d have the title for a month for $17.99 if they didn’t want to spend the full $75 with tax for the game (Not a terrible 1 month rental fee considering they get a bunch of other titles as well). I’m sure after a month the price may even go down some too, and they could buy it, if after a month of straight playing they had to have it. I actually cancelled my Ubisoft membership. I have been going through cancelling many memberships lately. Me and my wife put together a list of all our monthly expenses that weren’t immediately needed, and we discovered that we have been paying out $390 per month in random digital media subscriptions 🙃 since we are about to have a recurring mortgage begin very soon. (All of those had to go lol)

I tested my 4090 Gaming OC last night after you posted that at the full 100% fan speed, it was 59-61c.

I tried Avatar but the fighting animations and explosions were just so awful. I felt like it looked beautiful when exploring, after that wore off the game its self wasn’t all that great. Maybe I’ll try it again some day. It’s hard to think the same developers as Avatar made this game lol. I’m going to be curious how this title looks on Console, maybe the new PS5 Pro will benefit from a nice hardware boost. These fancy graphics are awesome though. And yes the in game graphics are actually better than cutscenes. @Prema my game closes to desktop randomly when using Outlaw graphics settings. Seeing how I regularly keep this title open for long hours, I removed the command line, and went back to Ultra. I think that’s just for testing purposes anyways. It seemed to run okay performance wise, just the random closing to desktop without an error isn’t cutting it for me. 😎

The stormtroopers in this game blow my mind! This video does not do justice.

This game runs fantastic at 4K+DLSS Quality+Frame Gen+ full Ultra Graphics detail, I average about 75fps almost always. At times it is beyond 110+ walking around indoors on a huge Starship or something, while it can drop to 60fps in demanding grassy areas where it’s rendering ray traced shadows on a gazillion glades of grass lol. But usually 70-90fps is where it’s always at. The 4090 gets it done.

People are nuts man, this is the best game we’ve gotten in years lol. For 1080P/1440P you don’t need anything too crazy to run this title. And even 4K maxed runs really really well. That is so long as you have DLSS3 with Frame Gen.

Trying Outlaw settings now! It’s gorgeous. Love this game. It doesn’t get that warm for me. My GPU has no extra fans on it, only its own fans. And I am hitting 67c@575+ watts. Game has been running about 3 hours now.

Should have it sometime next week. It’s really needed for the Starwars Outlaws game in some rare instances when outdoors. It is the most amazing game! Makes me think Ubisoft is back on top! They use to make the best games years ago. The older Far Cry games, older Assassins Creed games etc. And the. They started pushing out cookie cutter games in all sorts of Genres. These games were only good for one thing, launching the game, maxing it out, looking at the graphics, playing for about an hour, then immediately losing interest. Take a look at this video below. This title is a master piece to me. I can’t put it down. You are free to do whatever you please for the most part. The only thing I wish they would have incorporated was picking up bodies and hiding them lol. But the title is so amazing, I can easily look past that. This is only the beginning, Ubisoft can now fine tune this master piece in to whatever. Maybe with further updates, or releasing a 2nd one in the future. But this is the type of game we love. It has very small “rpg” hints to it, where your decision in game will have an outcome. It’s just a great game, all the fancy tech we want and pay for in our hardware is used in this title, and the 4090 runs it well! I was honestly not expecting this. I mean… Am I high right now or something? This is a really sweet game lol.

Guys and gals,I gotta say it Starwars Outlaws is one of the best games I have played in a few years now. I don’t know what to say.. Also, 3DMark Speedway, and 3Dmark Steel Nomad are using buildings and objects from this exact game it seems like. There are moments where I feel like I am walking through the steel Nomad Benchmark lol. Or riding on the Speedway motorcycle lol. Anyways, this game is worth the $70 bucks easily... Just wait until you get to the 1st world, and complete a few missions. I am absolutely blown away by this title. I have been playing it for about 6+ hours straight today, I stayed up until 4am playing it last night too. I haven’t done this in years. It’s better than Starfield, and better than Cyberpunk 2077 too. You get more and more freedom as you progress further in the game. I was not expecting this at all. And once you hit outer space for the first time after your ship is repaired you really realize how fantastic this title is. 🤯

The new Starwars game is absolutely awesome. I am not sure what these reviews may be going on about. But I will be the first to say all of the Starwars Jedi Survivor games before this were not entertaining to me. But this new game is awesome. I love the direction they are going. Real open world vibes, sneaking around enemies, multiple ways to proceed through a mission, there is a bartering system as well. Ubisoft is on the right path here, and they can make this series the greatest Starwars game ever. The last Starwars games were just a tunnel, and you proceeded down the path killing the same enemies, if you died or re-spawned, all over those enemies re-spawn again. It was just a very very limited feeling game. I am playing this one in my living room with a controller, and it's fantastic.

Star Wars outlaws runs AMAZING on day 1 launch! Full 4K tilt, the 4090 power doesn’t disappoint here. 4K Ultra everything, Motion blur on, film grain on, Nvidia RTX Direct Ray Traced lighting on Ultra, Ray Reconstruction ON, DLSS Quality+ FG. There were a couple of extra advanced graphical settings that I enabled or turned up, that aren’t enabled with the normal “Ultra” graphical pre-set. Still holding 82-90 fps. Very very smooth performance so far, with full overblown detail here. GPU usage is pegged to 100%. Not bad for a free game! The graphics are beautiful by the way! PS: The game is using 20GB of my GPU GDDR6X VRAM currently!! 😆 Absolutely BUTTER smooth though. Not a single skip/pop/stutter. 14900KS/DDR5 8600c36/4090 getting it done upload images

It was a free $70 dollar game. I can’t complain no matter how bad it is lol. Something to max the graphics on, something to poke around while I pout over Wukong Black Myth being to hard for me lol. I know one game that I just could not dig at all, and that was “Skull N Bones” another Ubisoft title. I didn’t see the appeal at all. So rushed. The character animations do like 3 things and they just repeat those over and over. It makes the game feel really cheap and rushed. 32 more minutes and StarWars Outlaws will be playable!

Very tough game. Mainly because I don’t typically play games like this. But I like this game! Normally my fighting skill in games is clicking one button to just “Hit!” “Hit!” “hit!” Rinse and repeat 😂 this ga e requires some defense, skill and patience, and strategy to make it through. PS: Starwars Outlaws playable tonight at 12am on Ubisoft Connect. 😎 Intel gave me the game for free. Thanks Intel!

I am stuck so hard in the Wukong Black Myth game. There is a boss fight that is nearly impossible to win. I have spent 4 days attempting to defeat this guy lol. I am going to have to put the game down. You must beat this Boss to proceed further in the game. Since I cannot defeat him, I cannot proceed. So, I feel like I am wasting my evenings for nothing 🤣Wukong is getting shelfed until further notice.

Windows 11 24H2 performs really well. I'm too obsessed with performance as is. What CPU are you using anyways?

My OS is getting a bit old as well. Mine is right at 8 months old. Probably dragging around a lot of extra processes and services.

@electrosoft Can you run this with your 7800X3D system? It is 720P Low Settings. Using Windows Update 24H2

The minimum FPS is better. I could never finish Heaven with 61.8 min before. The max is also slightly better. I ran this test a gazillion times before updating Windows 11, and I never could hold 60+ min through the entire test before. This test is great for checking your GPU OC is stable and smooth on the frame times. Because any overclock too high on the GPU, will harm your minimum frame rate in Heaven. So, if you have a low min FPS in Heaven benchmark, your GPU OC is too high for it to manage smooth frame times. Anyways, here is before and after. Same everything besides new windows update. Both are on bios Z790 Apex A04 (9901) 8600c36-49-49-49-63 (262k tREFI)
