bro @Papusan, heres ur chance to upgrade from your peasant Astral LC 😄 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/usd5-500-rtx-5090d-with-dual-16-pin-power-connectors-and-2000w-tdp-lands-on-ebay-galaxs-hof-oc-lab-xoc-5090d-formerly-exclusive-to-china-hits-resale-market

soooo ive been playing me some doom eternal, finally got around to installing it and get some demon shooting done here and there. maxed out settings at 4K incl RT im averaging around 250-300FPS 😄 bUTTERY SMOOTH, very nice. fun fact: had to adjust my core OC from +265 down to +250, otherwise the game would crash to desktop with clocks reset to default. now at +250 it seems stable 🙂

LOL id love to see what bro fox would to with copilot 😄 i could imagine lots of fun things hahaha oh damn, sounds like that dude is going above and beyond....havent had time to catch up on the latest over at OC.net, maybe i should start lurking again 😛

ooor they just hired him 😛 😄

welp...as usual the devil is in the details. since jay was only applying it to 3DMark, yeah sure, itll give u better scores on intel systems as he stated. but lots of people will over-generalize this and apply it for everything. then big surprise, some apps n games will actually give u lower perf with it enabled 😄 thats the big prob nowadays, everything is just painted in black n white, while most of the time the reality is in gazillion shades of grey...#itdepends 😛

ha, got the exact same model 😄

so boiz, anyone notice this 1200W vBios on TPU? its from a GB Xtreme Waterforce and states the following: "Requires DBG#2 GND (BMG)" Anyone tried this yet or know of someone who has? Link: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/276683/276683

hmmm interesting, will have to look into these 🙂 yeah Roman gave up on providing any kind of W/mK data for his cooling products, i.e. pastes, liquid metal, thermal pads, etc. since these are so highly variable and dependent on testing setup. thx bud, appreciate the screenshots 🙂 yeah just seeing how super tight the SP ratings are between CPUs but at the same time u seeing such big differences in overclocking ability just goes to show that the conclusions are not that significant at the end of the day. greetz from italy to everyone btw, enjoying a vacay with my two ladies 🙂

function over form my friend, function over form 😛

LOL i had no idea, now i feel like a moron 😄 thanks for the tip! ill try it next time in BIOS 🙂

be sure to post ur VF curves, as well (9950X and X3D). lets get some comparisons going here to put some proper context to the curves 🙂

and THAT, my friend, is the crux of the hardware enthusiast reality 😄 haha nice that reminds me of the high tech toilets i saw in japan 😄 7950X = lemme see if i can find an old bios screenshot / post about this First 9950X3D = SP 120 Second 9950X3D = SP 120 (120.44 across all cores), V/F curve below. in general, both the IMC and CCDs seem to be stronger on this one vs. the first. unfortunately, i dont have any screens of the VF curves for the first 9950X3D or the 7950X. sorry about the awkwardly slanted screenshot, this is due to my curved monitor 😄 plus had to stitch together two pics cuz the low Bios res doesnt allow all 16 cores to be shown at the same time.

daaaaaamn, bro Fox will be basically moving into the new MC as a permanent resident 😄

ah yes please, id like to have one of those 😄 RTX 5090 with higher vRAM by Nvidia themselves...it better be a 5090 Ti or Titan Blackwell! btw guys, cmon now, we dont really need to be defending 8GB cards in 2025....dont come up with artificial use cases here, just vote with ur wallet and let them die out already.

i can see that 5090 budget burning a hole in your wallet hahaha i for one am done with hardware purchases for the time being, back to tuning the installed hardware (finish RAM and havent even started with the CPU yet!) and also more gaming! just finished Deliver Us Mars and also discovered a third installment is already in the making (Deliver Us Home). Now I am starting with Doom Eternal + Ancient Gods, first time ive tried it. Lets see how it compares to Doom 3 and Doom 2016 🙂
