  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. This is an accurate assessment. User demanded account deletion and all content thereof.
  4. 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.
  5. I think the latest DOOM also had RT built in as well iirc
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Its been happening off and on irregularly over the past couple years in this rented house. Typically more in the Summer, the house has also been getting a bit malformed as the foundation adjusts to movement in the ground. This only happened maybe a few hours or so ago, havent personally done any diagnostic but heres my 10 second hot take. Circuit hasnt tripped, resetting did nothing. When it would die out before it was come back on its own within 10-20 minutes and was sometimes repeatable. I expect there is likely a kink somewhere in the wiring, causing additional resistance which I bull rushed with likely 1000w+, likely pushed it over the edge. The plugs for the house are not confidence inspiring either, lot of them are sunken due to the house deforming over time.
  10. Looks like benchmarking killed the electrical wiring in my room. To be fair it wasnt that great to begin with but I guess 800w for the better part of the day pushed it over the edge.
  11. Thanks, spent the better part of the day working with my 7900 XTX trying to figure out its behavior. Finally came to terms with despite using an A/C unit freezing in my own room, the stock fans on the Red Devil were not enough to cool 800w (surprised they took me this far to be honest). Replaced with 3x92mmx45mm fans powered externally. That allowed me to get this score, along with the application of PTM7950. The hotspot temperature is really the only thing that I am taming on this card, GPU temp might hit 62c with the fans maxed.
  12. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/134254982 Got #3 Dont think I'll be able to get much higher for Steel Nomad but #3 is pretty good for air cooling
  13. Hey Lemon welcome to the forums! What are some stores you have access to both locally and online for Poland?
  14. 100 Points to close in on @Hiew's score of 7911. Im probably only getting a taste of what @Mr. Fox might be feeling when it concerns this hobby of overclocking. It dawned on me that even with an AQUAS vBIOS which allows for 550w TDP I am still "tuning" for the highest clock for a given voltage. The lower the voltage the higher the score. This is with a fresh install of Windows 11 IOT, visual set to performance, monitors unplugged save for a 1080p144hz panel and waiting for it to settle at 22-23c before launching the benchmark. Still 1000+ points between me and the top spot. Getting closer...
