You do not have to have a 4090 to enjoy this game. Honestly, just a 4060 would put you into DLSS3 with real FG, that alone is nice feature. Native 1080P then with DLSS+FG on top, and any modern RTX4000 series can handle that game really well. It was the main reason why I got rid of my 3090 Kingpin. And I have to give it to Nvidia, the new features really are worth it.

I’d personally rather run DLSS2 at a lower percentage scale without FG, than FG+FSR at a higher percentage scale. The AMD FSR is not very good in my opinion. It does that shimmer effect that immediately gives away the fact we are using scaling. The 2080Ti is still a great GPU though. I would give Battlefield 2042 a test with that combination on a 128 multiplayer server. That would really interesting to see. Also, Death Stranding is another game that loves CPU cores! (no matter how many you have lol) It was the only title to push a 7980XE to 100% on all 36 threads long before games were all using 8/16 with my 3090 Kingpin and 2560x1440P lol. Those Sony ports are always the best when it comes to using hardware properly and optimization.

The free benchmark is fantastic. It lets people see the game run and work. And we can see how it performs on our system. Games are expensive. Imagine how many refunds are issued over someone randomly buying a game, and then they aren’t happy with it due to performance issues, or not even launching/working all together. I may buy the game and play it, I never throw $60 bucks at a game unless it’s something I have been anticipating or really want. I have difficulty staying focused on games lately though, it has to be a really good game. I’ve just become obsessed with cpu/ram overclocking. I could get by with an iGPU for most of my work at home in all honesty. You know, another thing I really want is the current and future Apex boards allowing us to use the iGPU. The iGPU depends on fast system memory and what better motherboard than an Apex to use it on. That would be so to just all out full overclock and bench the Intel iGPU. And I can’t even use mine. Stalker 2, and Kingdome Come Deliverance 2 are coming this year and very soon! Both titles will push high end parts. I can’t wait for either. I plan to take a week off work for either title 😂

Yep, R23 only uses like 25 more watts, it’s the games lately honestly they do this shader compiling, they didn’t always do this. 🤣 Also, if you run in to this error in the future ram stability can cause the error too.

This IMC and bios 9901 on my Apex are really a killer combo. This is the profile I was using in the Wukong benching and have been using it daily. PS: My Windows is not very well optimized it is fully bloated. So, these numbers on someone else's system would probably be even better.

I already knew this was gonna give people trouble after seeing the 297 watt with my chip at 5.9-6.2/4.8E/5.0R. I am using bios 9901 with Micro code 0123. The shader compiles are getting intense these days. I might try something like that. But it seems happy how it is. It’s not blocked completely, it’s just a barrier and it forces the air to travel in a horizontal direction up through the fins and out the side or horizontal between the paper towel and the GPU back plate. Before it was blowing vertical right to my system ram which was causing sweating randomly if humidity was high. My Suprim-X did not have a cut out. So I don’t think it’s even needed.

I had to put a paper towel on mine to cover that backplate cutout. Otherwise it blast my ram with hot air and makes them sweat. it doesn’t seem to make the card any warmer.

I hope my 4090 holds up. It is under warranty at least. But who wants to deal with that. Anyways, that one in the video has the old PCI-e slot tail hook which was definitely a big no no on these.. It's like 16ft long.

Do you have trouble with the Jedi Survivor game as well? Thats another CPU intensive one I think.

Real world stability testing is always the best. These modern games are stout. People use to pick on the idea of using games as stability testing. Now most of the time systems can pass through stability testing and fail to run games lol.

I’ll try to turn mine off and see if I gain any performance.

Yes, it does. I didn't think Dynamic tuning enabled in bios did or changed anything else, other than allowing APO to work. I do not use XTU or anything, but Dynamic tuning is enabled in the bios on my system.

Just ran it again. This GPU is a sensitive baby with overclocking. If you OC just a tiny bit too much it will lock up your whole computer. One of the most sensitive GPU's I have ever owned in my life lol.

While 2fps is very very small that is actually 10% difference. Make sure you have Rebar forced. I am also using Intel Application Optimizer as well. My GPU is running 2910 boost steady. My first run did 27fps, and I should have screen shot that one. But I tried again and it was 26fps.

My GPU is aircooled. It does not hold high boost. It is a very poor bin unfortunately. Looks to be hitting 71c max

All for fun! I copied your settings. PS: This run only average 88% GPU usage, so it was CPU bottlenecked. Estimated FPS is no CPU bottleneck existed, and GPU was 99% GPU usage. Average FPS: 173.8 FPS Maximum: 198 FPS Minimum: 123 FPS

It’s almost a double cheeseburger! But not quite. Still impressive for your laptop though. If we could force DLSS OFF, we’d gain much more FPS at native 100% scaling. This is essentially DLAA.

I mean, it’s still 8.5% and your resolution slider was 65% and not 66% 😂 But, I really don’t think it matters about CPU OC, and or RAM OC. I’m pretty sure an i3 with DDR4 3200 would probably yield a similar result as me now with my 4090. My 4090 doesn’t overclock well at all. I saw one 4090 boosting near my max OC only his was completely stock (Very sad) 😭 but you probably will beat me in this one easily @electrosoft I’d go ahead and do a full on OC run with the GPU OCed. I think this benchmark might come down to whose GPU has best silicon. I didn’t exactly see any action in the benchmark, it looks like a bunch of senior animal ninjas slowly walking around their retirement resort in the jungle. 😂

Tested the Black Myth WuKong benchmark. My 4090 does not particularly overclock all that well. It ran 2,895Mhz on the boost through the entire benchmark. But here goes. It seems the 4090 will get this title done pretty well maxed out at 4K. Especially with further updates and optimization I hope it gets even better! I tried to disable motion-blur and turn anti-aliasing to low, this only resulted in a +1 FPS improvement lol. So, I left it on for the below run. These settings are how I will play the game. 4K/DLSS@66%=Quality DLSS/ Ray Tracing=ON/ Frame Gen=ON I have to say 78 FPS average for a 4090 at the end of its life on a AAA title just coming out is really fantastic. It’s definitely doing its job. Thank goodness for DLSS, and Frame Gen. (10 Years ago, the game would just mop the floor of your fancy high end GPU and that was that) During the shader compile my CPU peaked at a thirtsy 297.7 watts of juice at 5.9P/4.8E/5.0R DDR5 8600C36-49. Not sure why the font turned this color. But yeah, we all know some of these modern game shader compiles can use as much power as Cinebench lol. Happy Birthday @Papusan 🎊

Yeah, 12900KS is a straight up beast. My son has one in his PC, and every time I use his PC to help him with something, the first thing I notice is how fast it is. I am not sure what his SP rating is on that chip. Never checked it. But his DDR5 6800c34 is working great on this really cheap Z790 Asrock 4 dimm motherboard. As for my own testing I use a regular Apex board, I did try the Encore, but I noticed it was weaker in ram OC than my Apex A04 was. The Encore is great, but my specific Encore sample could not compete with my white Apex. The Encore is also apparently assembled with cheaper gadgetry than the white Apex Z790. Bios 2503 and new microcode 129= Great CPU overclocking! Great power delivery! Not so great ram OC. I could not stabilize my 8800c38 profile on 2503. Weird things happen. 8600 c36-49-49-49-88 also does not work properly for some reason on this bios. I am not sure what it is. Bios 9901 and microcode 123= Meh CPU overclocking! Meh power delivery! It takes some work and effort to get the CPU dialed properly and you just cannot get it as good as 2503 with the new microcode. Memory overclocking on this bios is superior to anything available though. You can reset bios, load 8800c38 and it works without trouble daily.

I would have been open to AMD. But I already had a 2022 Z690 Hero motherboard. So I’m going to just use that and build a simple iGPU gaming rig. I’m going to overclock the iGPU to the max, run the fastest ram I can. As far as I remember the iGPU on 12th gen really trumped the prior gen DDR4 Intel iGPU’s.

No kidding. Thats what I think. This is a brand new tray 12900KS for $250 and $18 shipping 🤩. I do not think a faster CPU can be had. She’s only going to be running DDR5 5600 Gskill, but I might actually upgrade her ram since that’s pretty inexpensive. Or maybe I will put the slower ram in my son’s system since he has a RTX3060, and put his Mdie in my daughters iGPU system. I think it depends on what type of 5600 ram this is that I have. I hope it’s plane Jane M-die, but I’m worried it’s the Samsung stuff 😭lol

Looking to buy a CPU for my daughter’s first desktop PC. I won’t be getting a discrete GPU right away for this system. She will be using just the iGPU on the CPU for all of her gaming needs. Plus she only runs like Roblox, and Sims 4 anyways. It seems like the 12900KS is probably the way to go here. I’m looking at newer chips and I don’t think I can find anything for this cheap. Any thoughts on other possible options? I’m looking to spend no more than $300? Preferably less. I do plan to overclock the iGPU quite a bit, which seems to help more so than overclocking actual graphics cards lol.

Thats great performance on this system! Honestly, I think it could drive a 4090 pretty well. These high end systems last so long. This 10+ year old rig is still very powerful today. Especially for normal computing.

Anyone try one of these AIO’s, they have any problems? I have this one for my daughter’s build. It looks very similar to the NZXT Z73 I used in my son’s PC.
