Always nice to see a forum member getting their props for carrying out their experiments :) Not sure why but the YTuber calls vbios mods "software shunt mods"

What 3080 are you running? My 1080 is basically dying and wouldn't mind upgrading but I am unsure of the supplement power cable. My chassis was originally a ZM swapped for a DM-G board iirc.

And I am telling you, Prema does not approve of its distribution outside of official channels. We respect Prema's decision as its his IP, this forum will not facilitate the distribution of that BIOS. You can however look for the dsanke bios, which has been uploaded here many times and can provide many of the same functions that are desired.

Anyone sharing Prema BIOS will receive unfavorable actions from Administrators of this forum. I would instead ask around for the Dsanke bios which to my knowledge is free to be distributed.

This was not what I was expecting to see on the forum today @electrosoft lol Things may be finally looking up on my end of things, a sizeable promotion in one hand, and an enticing job offer I'll be interviewing for on Tuesday through a friend of mine. Its nice to have favorable options on the table. Assuming I dont lose both options I'll be looking forward building myself a MO-RA as a congratulatory boon.

It appears to be running ok over here at the moment, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Honestly cant see myself spending more than 700ish for a GPU, that being said I will happily buy used in order to still maximize performance per dollar spent as I have done for years at this point. Though in reality I'll upgrade to suit the need, if there is a title that I must play and I know that its beyond what my 7900 XTX can support then I'll likely sell this card (if today, it would likely be at cost or even a profit strangely enough) to look at the next step up. It would be hard to see anything short of a 4090 as an upgrade. Would have to be bewitched to spend 3k on a GPU though... That being said its all relative, I come from lets just say extremely meager means on more than one occasion so my barometer for such things is skewed in that direction.

I share similar sentiments regarding the 8GB VRAM from an abstract stance, that being said the people who most likely need to be the ones checking in advance as to if that should be a concern are also the most likely to never consider it in the first place. I can think of a litany of uses for 8GB VRAM, but at 24GB Im not thinking of use cases anymore.

This is an accurate assessment. User demanded account deletion and all content thereof.

I could see 8GB making sense for internet cafe's where most people would only be playing esporty titles, but only if the price was right. I used one of my 5700 XT's to float me between the 3090 and 7900 XTX. Played Sons of the Forest and was immediately sitting right at the buffer. That isnt to say I would never use 8GB again but what I did with it would definitely be curated vs the current throw on anything and not worry about it type of scenario that 24GB affords me.

I think the latest DOOM also had RT built in as well iirc

Would definitely be of interest to me as well under those circumstances. Not sure if there would be a real need for 32GB VRAM though. Playing Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 with some 4k texture mods, appears to be sitting around 13GB VRAM @ 3440x1440 resolution. I wouldnt say I always play the latest titles so perhaps my opinion is skewed on that front. Of course everything tends to boil down to price.

The source on that is very unreliable from what little I understand on the matter. Would be pretty cool if true, but AMD many times now already said they arent targeting high-end, more so marketshare which is the logical course of action given how little they have. It better have 2 12VHPWR cables if it exists, 600w is not a lot of headroom for a card that operates @ 450w. I was pulling probably close to 775w-815w on my 7900 XTX. I need to get one of those Kill-a-Watt's to be more sure.

Looks like I won't be able to bench anything for almost a month, June 17th is the soonest they can send someone to even start looking at it :( Suppose the best I can do is look at my other cards and see if there are any worthwhile mods I can perform to them. After taking #3 Steel Nomad was pretty motivated to start tuning for the next placement. 7900 XTX is a lot of fun to bench once temperature and power limits are removed. Before I killed my electricity (lol) I was actually considering getting a block and a mora 360. It would be comical at best next to my itx system but looks to be fairly necessary for pushing to #1. I always wanted a mo-ra but was always moving about so just wasn't in the cards. Also what thermal pads are you guys partial to? I'm still using cheap generic stuff from my crypto days but that was for maintenance not for performance.
