Red vs blue processors in Starfield. This isn't about the bugs with Ryzen and the AMD optimized game😁 As I said before... Nvidia can't make AI cards from their low/mid tier graphics chips. Forgot this one with Asus. My oldes son also had the ASUS ROG Strix Arion SSD Enclosure. While I was in vaccation I got an message from him on my phone. He connected the ASUS SSD Enclosure to his Jokebook. A nice and ugly electronic smell come out from the USB-C connector on the Enclosure and the whole box stopped work. No sign of life from the box or the flashy bling bling lights. Dead. Yup, Double Asus failure within one month. Fun with todays modern tech. Yes, I won't buy this fancy box. All to expensive and I don't like how it panned out. This bling bling box cost from 50% more and upwards vs an more vanilla SSD Enclosure box... Best SSD and Hard Drive Enclosures

One of my favorites. Rip my old friend😟https://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/verden/2023/09/18/195949381/roger-whittaker-er-dod

First. Asus should have never ever used Micron mem chips on Strix in the 10xx series. And as a footnote... 99% of all reviews of 1070 Strix use Samsung memory dies. And Asus didn't offer maxed out TGP as some other 1070 flagship cards. Why do that with their best xx70 cards they have in their huge portefolio of cards? Same cooler and pcb as their xx80Ti cards but castrate their flagship in same way as the other brands cheapo low end cards from same SKU series. That's perverse! The cards cooling can easly handle 350W power consumption. And why not offer dual 8-pins power connectors as som of the better xx70 cards? Because they wanted to cut cost? 2nd. Not even sure Msi will bother with 2 mem boards. Why did they scrap that models for firs gen Z790 boards? They cater to the gamer kids. And why didn't MSI want offer 600W vbios? Why did they take away/remove the first vbios version that come with 600W and replaced it with vbios that offer lower TGP than the Nvidia FE cards for their best high end cards? I don't trust whats coming from MSI. They are equal disgusting as ASSUUUS. 3rd. More stupid from ASUS... https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-strix-rtx-4090-eva-02-edition-debuts-in-us-at-2299 This is perverse! ASUS spread their so called better* chips on 3 different versions of same Strix cards now. With the Matrix it will be 4 cards. Then you have the water cooled cards. So the best binned chips will be spread around 6 different high end 4090 cards. ASUS has become the worst HW lottery you can think of. $2299 for a ugly card is awful. Maybe they want $300 more because very few want the Red Ugly card. But what do I know After seeing retail in China, the ASUS ROG STRIX Evangelion GeForce RTX 4090 was finally listed on Newegg, with a premium "$2,299" price tag. To give you an idea about the variant's pricing, it is almost a bump of 70% from the GPU's original MSRP. Yup, 70% premium for a Puke show. The world have gone crazy. Lack of good options is awful. And this now apply especially for MB and GPU's. I feel almost as I have went back to Jokebooks aera. Btw. Guru3d have destoyed their webpage with the new updated awful modern design.... Disgusting https://www.guru3d.com/ New or newer is always better @ryan🤮🤢🤮

My oldest son bought an ROG Thor 1200W Psu a month before my vacation. Dead on arrival 1 day after he started use it. Weird problems as no boot and suddenly shut downs. No consistency. I advised him to test with his older PSU. The machine started work properly again. I said… Buy an BeQuiet or an Corsair 1500i. Sad there is so few good 2 mem slots board. But not keen on Gigabyte. And Evga is a no go. What have we left? Assuuuus. I’ll take the chance on the coming Z790 Apex refresh. No other options I can see. My oldest son will get my board and the 13900K for free because he took care of our dog while me and my wife were in Canary. What other options do I have? And I don’t want jump on a old Z690 Unify-X from MSI. Soon it will be harder find good options for desktops. Almost as the BGA junked jokebooks. Aka no options. Only trash.

Should be no problem dance with them😀 A bad sample of 1070. The Strix ain't near my old dead Gigabut. And I got the Micron memory.So, thanks Asus. I forgot ask what mem this 1070 had. I take that on me. But not the loosy cores. Oh'well. I can still sell it on the used market for the same as I paid for it. That's something 🙂 https://hwbot.org/submission/5353239_papusan_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_1070_21165_marks

Yep, I have class, LOOL Hope you do an better cleaning job with your pc, HaHa You can easly see how much bigger the 4090 is vs the 1070 Stix if you look at the missing PCIe brackets. And the Asus 1070 Strix are in same size and with same cooling as for the 1080Ti Strix. The older gaming flagship from Nvidia. Looks more like a baby card in the chassis. The PC Industry is in self destruct mode...

I think the review editors on reviews sites sinking lower and lower. They look on things that's not important for the products they review. And the consumers will eat everything with their eyes. 1th. Say hello to Asus ROG 1070 Strix OC. My older 1070 died so I had to replace it with a new old for the GPU collection. I enjoy old hardware and you even can use for gaming. I don't need the new and shiny games as etc Starfield. Regarding this new game.. Looked on my sons gaming of mentioned game. He is not impressed of the game and textures (how it looks). Neither is me. So new doesn't always mean better 😀 The card looks as in good shape. Haven't tried it but I expect it will work. @electrosoft For you you old man😄 Regarding 2nd. That's great news. But sad so many developers can't or don't see it themself. Maybe they don't bother with it, I don't know. So nice Martin will takes care of it. Good job bro Fox.

See post #9😵 Read.... From the videocardz article. "Reviewers may soon face a dilemma when determining which graphics card has the most charming appeal". Maybe we are too old?😁 The charming appeal will soon be much more important then how the products functioning or works. In short.... Same as for modern laptops. Yup. The end is near. Once asus have tested out their new stupidity in China... It will come to the rest of the world @Talon And all other hardware manufacturer brands will follow Asus. ASUS Is Launching A GeForce RTX 40 Card With No Power Cables, How It Works If you pay any attention to technology news, particularly on this site, you may recall reading about ASUS' interesting power-delivery experiment one of the few times we've reported on it before. If you didn't read those stories, or don't recall, we'll recap: ASUS is about to start selling motherboards with.... Yep, the future looks damn dark.

Hmmm. What can be in the box with the nice shiny all black crocs on top bro @electrosoft 😬 Could it be a ROG Strix OC or could it be an empty greyish package?🤔 Here's @electrosoftand @ryan after seeing this post.... LOOL And here's very good news for Nvidia😄 ASUS Readies A Flood of Custom Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs ASUS has plans to go all out with AMD's Navi 32 GPUs as the company has listed 64 variants under the Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT lineup. Yup... You can't make any AI chips for the AI bonza from castrated 4060/4060Ti or 4070 chips. And I guess Nvidia also have a flood of them🙂 And quite a few gamer kids have seen that the AMD Radeon cards is prefered for Starfield for now. Hmm... I wonder when Nvidia start push the 4070 prices closer to 500$ price target. Will it be before or after Christmas holidays? And what with the prices for the bus and mem crippled 4060 and 4060Ti ? How nice wouldn't it be with a 4090 with this design bro @Mr. Fox Yooo have started droool already?🤩 Yes, a vertical mount will be a must, HaHa (Edit. See also post #9)🤮 Now AMD and their AIC partners have to flood the market with their 7800XT cards. Only this way we will see a change from the Green goblins. Let em have some competition. Millions will buy this new AMD optimized game forwards.

Nope. Haven't had the time. Now summer vaccation. And lack of time looking more after it. But I need a new KB. Or better say two 🙂

Analyzing Starfield’s Performance on Nvidia’s 4090 and AMD’s 7900 XTX ChipsAndCheese took a good look at the game's performance on both manufacturers' current flagship cards, RTX 4090 and RX 7900 XTX, highlighting how AMD's card provides better performance at all resolutions, although the gap gets narrower at higher resolutions...... In summary there’s no single explanation for RDNA 3’s relative overperformance in Starfield. Higher occupancy and higher L2 bandwidth both play a role, as does RDNA 3’s higher frontend clock. However, there’s really nothing wrong with Nvidia’s performance in this game, as some comments around the internet might suggest. Lower utilization is by design in Nvidia’s architecture.

Still 50$ too expensive. Is this the answer from Nvidia to Radeon 7800XT? Nvidia can't burn in with loads of the low/mid end chips. They can't be used for AI and need to go out from their shelves. Same with the 4060/4060Ti chips. Remember Nvidia struggle with delivering of AI chips due their packaging problems that will last until middle 2025. So they still need the sales of gamer cards. At least the AI bonza don't destroy for the gamer Jockey's in nearest time. Some of them screw it up for themself😬 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs have seen their price drop in the US to $549 Read more: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/93299/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-gpus-have-seen-their-price-drop-in-the-us-to-549/index.html In a statement supplied to Wccftech, NVIDIA PR notes, "Today, the GeForce RTX 4070 is widely available from just $549," citing brands like ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI. "This is a great choice for gamers looking to upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and other upcoming DLSS 3.5 titles, such as Alan Wake 2, at 1440p," the statement continues. Edit. GeForce RTX 4070 vs. Radeon RX 7800 XT techspot.com | September 13, 2023 Summary: 😁 It's worth mentioning, we also encountered stability issues with the Radeon 7800 XT, with frequent crashes in F1 23 using the high preset, which is odd as "ultra high" seemed to work fine. Cyberpunk 2077 also proved unstable, especially with ray tracing. It's challenging to determine whether this was an isolated issue or related to the current driver. We did spend several hours trying to solve the issue without success, and interestingly the Radeon 7900 XT didn't exhibit these stability concerns, leading us to believe that the issue might be linked to the 7800 XT's initial driver release. Hmmmm. @Mr. Fox

The performance uplift is from native The Resizable BAR profile in the GeForce driver I think. If you enabled it in Nvidia Inspector previously you may not see any performance gains. https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-driver-update-should-improve-starfield-performance-for-many/

Who need gamers when they can sell their overpriced hardware and silicon for AI ? AMD is the gamers best friend. Where’s the competition? https://www.techspot.com/news/100112-leaks-suggest-there-wont-radeon-rx-8800-or.html

Hola brother. Long time no seen. Happy you found the right place with us older NBR gang. Hope all is well with you. As other pointed out. Laptops in all shapes and forms is now dead. For me… I went back to desktops. And same time using older laptops without the dreaded soldered mess. I hope I can find an used X170 or an P870 of the latest model. I won’t touch or buy the new modern trash. Happy to see you here old friend 🙂

@ryanas I have always said. New/Newer has to be better, LOOL AMD team try a screw you all. Also older nvidia cards is affected as they said. But this damn new star game is optimized for the new and shiny from AMD. Enjoy. The sun doesn’t shine on AMD users, HaHa You’ll need nvidia for that, LOOL https://www.pcgamer.com/in-starfield-the-sun-literally-doesnt-shine-on-amd-gpu-users/

Yup, this is the fix from nvidia l have waited on since the first fried 4090 popped up. New silicon revision only to fix the 12VHPW connector failure, LOOL The revised 12+4 power connector for the new 4090s wasn’t enough. And the angled adapter failure from CM didn’t make it better with the increased amount of burned up 4090s. Defective products from etc Cablemod is one of the main drivers for nvidia to castrate own cards. Thanks CM. The next fix will be worse! With time they will do the same as they did for Maxwell graphics cards. Cap the voltage at max default with drivers for all revisions of cards. So soon you’ll have to say goodbye to an working voltage slider. Nice. The nvidia way fix own engineering/design flaws. Equal disgusting as the weather home. Got this one from my son. Temps go down to 2C as coldest with rain and probably +90% humidity. Here down 28C with full sun. It will be a huge shock when we come home. https://freeimage.host/i/JH9Jk12 Try read the text in the grey boxes and understand the text. Or put it same text in an translator. Yup, Norwegian isn’t easy to understand🙂 https://freeimage.host/i/JH91c0v Worst rain weather I've seen in a long time soaking wet right through everything. Cold rain with ice/snow. Yup, something to look forwards to 😞

A lot needs to be fixed with Starfield so I expect Intel will be on their own. Sadly, there's no real way at this time to prevent traversal stuttering in Starfield. Even on the low-quality preset, the game suffers from SSD-bound traversal stuttering issues. Hopefully, Bethesda will discover this problem and figure out how to optimize the game better for SSDs. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/badly-optimized-ssd-usage-starfield-traversial-stutter

First AMD processors crashing in the game. Now time for bugs with AMD graphics. Do we see the stars with the newest Nvidia graphics cards as 4000 series? And do we even need see all the stars?🤐 Be sure you have a spare older Nvidia graphics card if you want to experience the whole game, LOOL Newest is always better @ryan😂 The user also reported that he was able to resolve the issue by simply swapping in his AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. It should be remembered that Bethesda and AMD partnered together to optimize the experience for Ryzen and Radeon GPU owners. https://wccftech.com/starfield-is-seemingly-missing-entire-stars-when-running-on-amd-radeon-gpus/ And maybe 3rd time have it’s sharm… Nice seeing people have the time for this. Me… No time for this.

Me sitting outside Africa’s coast and ordered a new “old card” for my hobby. On the used market home 5000km from down here(now sold to me). Internet is an beautiful thing. Yep, I’m sure bro @electrosoftjust sit waiting for new pics of my all black crocs, HeHe🙂 Around 85$. Or same price as for 100 of my cigars (+20 every day will in the end kill me - but I have now bought a new kit electric cigar to try reduce my addiction for good cigars). Asus bro @Mr. Fox😳 My old Giga 1070 G1 couldn’t keep up with my hobby. So dead. Hope this one lasts longer, HaHa Asus Rog 1070 Strix OC. 10% of new price. Yep, old has it’s advantage. I’m happy with old things. Don’t need be the newest and shiny. And you can still game with it bro @ryan And I still have my 4090 Hof, so.., An ok’ish choice when my middle son/daughter visits me. A 1080Ti would of course be better but those are still expensive in the used market. I don’t like spending too much. My two 980Ti or 980s could of course works but why not? I’m an collector so I probably have 20 cards in the shelves now. Next purchase will probably be a new used system(Z370 or newer). Intel of course. I wish I could find an Clevo(Multicom) X170 at a cheap price here home. Still looking. It’s mine now 🙂 https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=318701131

Hi bro John. Hope all is well. Old me enjoying the sun and 27C all days in Canary Islands. Home is 8-10C and lots of rain (info from my kids home). The fall has already started. Nothing of this cold weather here. Only slow days with something good to eat and drink. Have already ordered next year’s summer vacation when me and wife is here. Faster than ever before. Usually we order the 1 month summer vacation at the end of the year. But this time we wanted to be sure we can have the same next year as we have it now. I enjoy every day. And this time we have made it sure we’ll have an AC from day one next year🙂 So best greetings from the sunny side outside Africa coast. But I’m sure the sun is equal warming in the west side of U.S. And probably hotter than here as well. For me… 25-28C is probably enough. I’m not made for more than this, LOOL

3rd Intel driver within a week and still no fun. Bethesda support and dev team should be ashamed for their corporation/support with Intel. It seems Intel are on their own. No in hell Nvidia would have a game ready driver long time before the game released without help from the game dev team. Who’s the devil here? AMD or Bethesda? Or both? When the game debuted, Intel failed to release a game-ready driver in time for the game's early access launch. Due to a lack of driver support. We doubt Stafield director Todd Howard or any of his Starfield team members would say the same thing about the Arc A770. Nonetheless, this is a serious error made by the Bethesda support team and needs to be remedied as soon as possible. Bethesda's support representative implied that all Arc GPU owners with problems must upgrade to an AMD or Nvidia card to run the game. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-drops-third-starfield-driver-as-bethesda-claims-a770-doesnt-meet-min-specs LOOL. Also not so fun with AMD. Ryzen CPUs in focus Although some owners of Intel processors also complain about sudden crashes, the majority of those affected have a Ryzen CPU installed. Certain moments in the game seem especially crash-prone, such as getting the watch from Barret or talking to certain NPCs. Unfortunately, the crashes are reproducible — so the next time you try to start the conversation, the computer crashes again. This is particularly annoying because AMD is the “exclusive PC partner” of Starfield. The company worked hand in hand to optimize the game as best they could on the Xbox Series X/S as well as on modern Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs. https://www.pcworld.com/article/2060777/starfield-frequent-crashes-this-is-the-cause.html

What could it be? Is stupidity an form for dangerous sickness? Can it be fixed? Or do they have to live with it the whole life? If so, any medicine/medication that works? Read “I have no idea”.😳

Nice see people see tech the same way as me and a few others. But mostly people are blinded by own stupidity or fanboyism. This was spot on. Thanks for showing this to all others 🙂
