got some feedback from the rainbow master: the 980M vbios mods were done based on the respectice ASIC qualities of the cards. so flashing this on a 980M with a different ASIC quality could lead to overvoltage spikes and possibly throttling. also, dont forget that the 980M had g-sync and non-g-sync versions withs different hardware IDs. vbios were not cross-compatible between the two. so best to add the info if this vbios is for g-sync or non-g-sync cards 🙂

kool, so same as intel then 😂 now were all on the same page and nobody wins 💀

just based on user feedback and reviews its supposed to be much worse than ME 1-3

nah, no more dispute from my side, seems pretty clear now. scoured through enough reviews now to have a good overall picture for Zen 5. X3D waiting game commences...

hahaha nope wukong doesnt really interest me aside from the heavy benchmark 😛 i actually just started Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Gonna be my very first playthrough of ME, should be interesting. especially given all the good things ive heard about it.

boom shakalaka, just ordered the SSD and also got me some USB-C to USB-A adapters 🙂 should be here by Friday, cant wait!

aw cmon, no need to explain urself, i think its great 😄

bromance at its finest, you two are cute 😄

nooonono, not rich at all, just patient....remember, had been saving up every cent for three full years before i started assembling Hpyerion 😉 i didnt purchase anything of worth during that time!

that is insane for DDR3, holy crap! yep saw that today, as well. even brings a 4090 to its knees maxed out at 4K with RT. should be a nice gpu stability testing tool for OCing the 5090 😄 (and a prime example for anyone asking why anyone would bother upgrading from a 4090 😛 )

HL2 in VR? huh, had no idea! maybe Valve is getting all HL games up to speed before HL3 is finally released 😛 on a more serious note regarding future games: looking forward to the second DLC for Alan Wake 2, the new Indiana Jones game by Machinegames (also wish there were news on Wolfenstein 3!), TItan Quest 2 and Bioshock 4. And ofc HL3 if the latest leaks are anything to go by.... In the meantime, i gotta take a look at the Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool, apparently 4K maxed with RT even a 4090 is brought down to its knees, lulz. Should be a nice stability tool for the 5090 😛

i think we are waaaay too old school here for such new tech fads 😛

1-2 fps, lulz. i think thats more of a VRAM issue rather than raw performance. the 4090 is definitely not 100x faster than a 3060, even the laptop version 😄

Ratchet and Clank is actually quite demanding! So doesnt surprise me that you cant properly run 4K. Maxxed out with raytracing at 4K i was barely breaking 100 FPS with my overclocked 4090.... 😄

ah yes thats the agesa version where they upped the stock TDP of the 9700X and 9600X to help with sales....good luck with that 😅

Finished Alan Wake 2 (except for the last episode in the Night Springs DLC) and keeping it installed as a GPU stability test 😄 funny enough, after going through ALL GPU benchmarks available to me, AW2 turned out to be the most reliable in throwing up errors if the OC was too high 😛 The game itself is awesome, have played through the whole AW series so far. I then completed Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, awesome game! loads of fun. Currently playing through Quantum Break, unusual gem Id say. About 90% through and not regretting it. So yep, Id say Hyperion is getting its playtime for sure currently 😄 My tuning itch is slowly returning though, I might finally turn my attention to the CPU after having completed GPU and RAM stable OC.

yep, custom ISO ftw!

automatic encryption? wtf MS, hands off my storage!!!

lulz why are there two mikes 😄

Damn, an eon is ending, cant even call it an era anymore 😄 welcome to desktop land my friend!

yeah HUB mentioned this might actually be a general CPU performance bug in W11 😄

hm, i wouldnt call a 50+% failure rate quoted by big Intel cpu customers "patently false". sure, "some" intel cpus at 65W or higher "may" never be affected, but at this point in time that can rather be considered the exception, not the rule. has nothing to do with Intel or AMD fanboyism... As for that HUB windows bug, thats not what i was referring to with regards to Zen 5. Sure, if it was ONLY the difference between Linux and W11, I would agree with you. But the benchmark data between reviewers are all over the place, and that includes games, not just applications in terms of AVX512 dependent or not (as @Papusan was trying to point out). I am not trying to "will" Zen 5 to be better. But at the same time you can't just wave the Intel flag and call it a day. Take Alder Lake with its first iteration of the baby cores: Windows scheduler initially had big issues properly addressing the P and E cores, correct? Those issues have since been addressed, and I think we can all agree that Alder Lake was a pretty good gen for Intel. If we had just looked at the very first reviews and said: Meh, performance crap, Alder Lake sucks, would that have helped any? Same principle applies here. With data all over the place, something must be amiss. In both cases, this has nothing to do with red team vs. blue team, it has everything to do with following the data and making proper sense of it.

Decided it would be time to switch my primary usb stick from USB-A to USB-C. While at it, im also downsizing from a 2242 to a 2230 M.2, so will be even more compact 🙂 Storage size will double from 1TB to 2TB. Havent gotten the M.2 just yet, but looking at the Corsair Mini MP600 R2 2TB with pcie 4.0 x4. ofc pcie 4.0 will not help with total throughput, since the case connector is limited to 10Gbps, but should help with IOPS and also power consumption @heat output.

welp, as mentioned in the other thread, with crappy firmware/microcode/core parking any cpu would be crippled, no surprise there. otherwise, why would linux show such perf gains for zen 5, even in games? same for some reviewers i.e. toms hardware (not talking about avx512 apps but also gaming. 1% at HUB vs. 8% is a huge margin of error!). AMD couldve just waited another month to sort stuff out before release. i mean, with intel cpus basically all breaking down, what have they got to lose? this is a total mess left and right...

damn, was juuuust about to post the HUB vid 😄
