what?! how is that even possible, wth.... 4-5 months on a backup card...sorry but nah, no amount of savings would be worth that to me 😄

lesson learned for the 6090: will not bother to spam refresh during launch, but rather lean back and enjoy the 5090 3-4 months longer until prices come down to normal levels 🙂 (watch me eat my words once the 6090 actually launches 😄)

oh mymy, what have we got here? 😄 welcome to the club bud, curious to see what u can squeeze out of that card. how much did u pay for it? hope u got a good price. yeah, the GB Master vBios seems to be the best if you still need proper fan control. if you dont, then the waterforce xtreme seems to be quite nice, although i dont have any personal experience with that. 1.07V max vcore is quite nice, congratz on that!

this. due to his always present agenda its difficult not to watch any of his vids and believe his "independent media" stance. sure, independent from external sponsors, but the motivation for bias in any kind of hardware testing or benchmarking is BIG when u offer these "optimization classes" for specific kind of CPUs/GPUs.

thats one country in all of Asia and i wouldnt consider South Korea an emerging market, rather sits between emerging and industrialized (categorized as either depending on who you ask). https://stockdividendscreener.com/technology/amd-revenue-by-region-and-by-country/ So we have 5 countries (US, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore) making up roughly 98% of AMD revenue. Rest of world, i.e. approx. 185 countries account for a mere 2%. Ofc I expect Nvidia to have a similar lion share in above countries, but their market share in those ROW countries should far exceed that of AMD.

Death by a thousand papercuts! great to see you again bud 😄 what kinda system are you rocking these days? VERY curious to see what kinda CPU that will be, if at all. heres to hoping that they supercharged their chiplet binning so as to provide the same clocks or maybe even higher than non-X3D chiplets, to have the best of both worlds. plus no more need for any scheduler / process lasso shenanigans 🙂 looking forward to this! the thing to consider with AMD cards is that there are lots of regions in the world that barely have any AMD market penetration whatsoever. especially in emerging markets like south america or asia Nvidia is basically the only game in town. sso even if AMD kicks butt in the US and europe, that would barely equate to a drop in the proverbial bucket when looked at on a global scale vs. the preinstalled base and new sales in most other regions.

duuuude 😄 but WAIT, no 9995WX? peasant! 🤣 what are ur plans for this beastly setup? post some pics of the hardware and internals 🙂

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 🙂

ooooh joining the X3D club? nice, looking forward to your findings vs. the regular 9950X.

thats really impressive for that pricing! no way i could compete with those speeds / timings tho lol. i for one am just happy i finally got 8000 stable. i finished tuning the primary timings: 8000-40-47-49-76 is the best i can get in my D2D OC stability tests. secondary and tertiary timings to follow, ofc but that will take a while 😛 still, nothing to sneer at, considering 8000CL40 is the same latency ratio as my previous 7600CLC38 or the universally recommended 6000CL30, but at much higher overall bandwidth. curious to see where my results will land once ive gotten all the timings dialed in.

welp this was a nothing burger 😄 turns out, once u insert TWO sticks instead of one the rules change completely. the 1.30V kit that was previously stable at 8000 is still king. while testing the two best 1.35V sticks i couldnt actually get them stable at 8000 with the same settings 😄 sooo anyways, RAM binning done, will keep the 1.30V kit and see which speed will give me the best bandwidth / latency performance 🙂 thatll take another while.... RAM OC rabbit hole is real 😄
