  1. yep thats the original developer, good find. i think u gotta change ur "high dpi settings" under file properties and compability to correct that flawed display. some apps need to be adjusted like that, otherwise ull see that weird behaviour ure describing. yep, power and temp target are greyed out in my case as well, so thats normal. what do u mean by power monitoring options? are u referring to the various performance levels shown on the top of the advanced overclocking menu? as for settings clocks: u can set those individually for the four (in my case with the 980M) listed performance profiles P8, P5, P1 and P0. Basic rule of thumb: the higher the number, the lower the power state of the gpu. so P0 is 3D active with full clocks and voltages, P1 is 3D idle (i.e. when ure in game menus), P5 is 2D active and P8 is 2D idle with the lowest clocks and voltages. dont quote me on these descriptions, this is just how i remember it 🙂 for P8, P5 and P1 u can set core and vram clocks as absolute values, with no option to change core voltage. for P0 the core and vram clocks are set in offsets and u also have the option to change core voltage as an offset with steps of 12.5 mV. dont worry about the temperature slider, thats only good for overclocking to prioritize temperature and give the gpu a bit more thermal headroom. for my particular case ive set the following power savings clocks: P8, P5, P1 all set for core 135 Mhz and vram 180 Mhz. for P0, i set core offset -810 Mhz and vram offset -905 Mhz. i left the core voltage at 0 mV but im also sporting a PremaMod vbios that lowers the 3D active core voltage to 1.000 V (a bit lower than stock, dont remember the exact stock value though). once u set everything and apply, u can then click "create clocks shortcut" in the lower left corner of the advanced oc menu. thatll create a shortcut on ur desktop for these settings to be applied in Nvidia Inspector. for a custom batch file, open those shortcuts with notepad and copy out the respective clock and voltage commands and into a batch file which u can then set to be executed via windows startup - voila, there u go 🙂 to return back to stock, u can just click "apply defaults" and ure back where u started. as for power savings: stock board power is around 100-125W, with the above power saver settings im maxing out at 25-26W so were talking about 75-80% reduction in max power draw for the gpu. as for the XG drivers i dont remember all the special sauce tweaks they implement, but u can read up on the on the link i provided before. i just remember its some performance tweaks they do in addition to the decrapifying the telemetry that we all love to hate haha 😛
  2. jokes aside, not much OC headroom is not a surprise, with both AMD and Intel going head to head theyll both squeeze out as much as they can, not to leave any potential performance on the table. as for locking down OV....wtf 😵 heres to hoping that this is just wccftech being wccftech....
  3. oh wow, faulty cpu is something u dont see or hear about every day....
  4. id rather compare the 2080S with the 3080 haha. but yeah, that +35% difference id only expect in synthetic benchmarks.
  5. haha yeah its kinda like the Intel Arc A380, we all know it totally sucks but its just something completely new, a foray into the unknown 😄
  6. damn, piece of art! congratz on that 🙂 i hope it tastes as good as it looks hahaha me and my lady have decided to go "green", so to say, thus cooking way more veggies and preparing salads as main meals, etc. trying to dial down on sweet stuff and fatty carbs (we used to love those readymade noodle salads with heavy cream sauces 😅 no more of that!)
  7. for thermal pad layout, i would suggest taking out the gpu module completely, as well as the heatsink. then make a "best guess" first by laying out thermal pads on all the critical components (vRAM, chokes, mosfets, etc.) and putting on the heatsink while still outside the laptop. then, looking from the side against a light source, ull see if the thermal pads make proper contact with the heatsink or if there is light shining through (thermal pads too thin) or if the heatsink sits a bit slanted on the gpu (pads too thick). after taking the heatsink off ull also be able to judge the fit by the indentation of the components left on the pads. i know it sounds a bit finicky, but that is basically how i always check the layout the repadding a machine im not familiar with.
  8. kool i was juuust about to ask about the deetz on this over in the benchmark thread when i saw this thread pop up in my feed. nice write up! u maybe wanna post a link to this thread over there 🙂
  9. if you want quick n dirty u can just force the lowest idle 2D clocks that your gpu sets as per stock. then u know for sure that there are no instabilities 🙂 otherwise, its actually way quicker than UV with a CPU since u start seeing glitches or stuttering right away once u go too low. as for drivers, im also still on 451.48 *lol* im using a mod provided by J95 from back in the NBR days. for more current ones, i can warmly recommend going with xtreme g (or XG for short) drivers, theyre decrapified from telemetry and have some tweaks implemented: https://www.reddit.com/r/XtremeG/
  10. huh, out of curiosity i was looking into some performance numbers on NBC (yes i know i know, but at least same baseline lol), turns out the difference is maybe a few percent here and there? nothing to write home about...
  11. probably a good call if u want to be prepared for potential downtimes of your watercooling setup but still want the best of air cooling 🙂
  12. haha ok, i stand corrected! with those extended timelines in mind, a 36s time saver really translates into palpable differences, glad u were able to test it out 🙂 looking forward to the screenies mate
  13. how are they going to know if u opened up the machine if its just for switching out ram? shouldnt be too difficult, unless they have a flipped mobo design where ud have to disassemble everything. in general though i wouldnt expect much of a real world impact coupled with that CPU.
  14. haha nice ure enjoying it! although i guess it depends on the type of game ure playing (fast paced or not), ur internet connection and also ur sensitivity towards input lag.
  15. thats one thing u gotta respect Samsung for: their update policy is even better than Google's! 😄
  16. welp, never mind on that then if it aint beating an NH-D15 *lol*
  17. so both the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra and the ROG Phone 6 were bummers, either due to looks, abysmal camera performance or too much bling bling / gamer looks. also, both companies are not really known for their great android update policies, ugh.... so for now ill be patiently waiting for the Pixel 7 series to launch in October, i think thatll finally be the right moment to retire my Mate 20 X. its quite frustrating to be honest, u either get great hardware (i.e. giant screen, current SoC and huge battery) OR u get awesome android update policies, but NOT BOTH! like.....why? *sigh*
  18. ...and then they refresh it halfway with a 4090 Ti Ultra 🤣 there have been some updates though, including switch from aluminum to copper. not sure about the current state though:
  19. btw bro @Mr. Fox i was just thinking of you whilst watching the latest vid by Roman, hes showing off TG's upcoming direct die frame incl a matching EK waterblock for Alder Lake, supposedly also compatible with Raptor Lake (starts at around 13:50):
  20. if its only restricted to national usage, that could be realistic. i remember back in singapore they also had crazy offers like that, 100GB+ for like 10 bucks but only nationally (with SG being a city-state, thats not really much area covered lol)
  21. i think, therefore i am / we want, therefore it exists i like 😁👌🏼
