Why upgrade in first place? Newer is always better, LOOL A Senior Editor for PCworld should know better. But stupid is the new normal @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix Every time I use Windows 11, I wish I was using Windows 10 https://www.pcworld.com/article/1788084/every-time-i-use-windows-11-i-wish-i-were-using-windows-10.html

Doesn't help much if the manufacturers rather reduce the production over reducing the awful prices. The minor changes down (2-5%) is nothing to be exited about. Mem makers already do the same. Reduce the production to stop losses. Same for ssd makers. They all use the same recipe to keep up max profits. Let's take an example... 4090$1600 -3% is still above 1550$. If you can't buy it at 1600 then you will centenly not buy it at 1552$. The difference is minor or almost nothing. Or the 4080$1199 minus 3% or slight above $1160. This is a Joke. All newer cards should have slashed the prices with minimum $100 to have an effect for the buyers. Even then the 4080 will offer almost no value vs performance due disgusting prices. $1099 is still damn perverse for a xx80 class card. And Nvidia have the needed replacement for miners so why produce more card for the gamers for less profits? The Gamers will come back when they see they need newer cards to play their newest games. NVIDIA Could be Reducing RTX 4070 GPU Production, Palit Card Price Cut Reported in UK NVIDIA's fresh faced GeForce RTX 4070 graphic card range has not been flying off shelves around the world, and Team Green could be pivoting their approach somewhat after receiving lower than expected sales figures via company reports. Their component suppliers have already mentioned that the entire GeForce RTX 40 family is on a comfortably steady production schedule - with no instructions received from HQ to up the ante. In the latest development this week, individuals with insider knowledge of factory schedules in China have claimed that NVIDIA has informed board partners (AICs) that output for the GeForce RTX 4070 line is getting paused for a month. The temporary cutoff in factory output will allow, they hope, for the currently sitting stock to get cleared out. A substantial surplus of GeForce RTX 4070 cards could disrupt distribution networks and overstock warehouses. Industry watchdogs have theorized that NVIDIA's board partners are having a difficult time offloading their premium tier RTX 4070 custom cards onto paying customers. The Founders Edition and closer-to-reference models have sold quite respectable numbers according to early analyses, but more expensive options are considered to be too expensive by the customer base. There is apparent crossover in pricing with the fancier GeForce RTX 4070 Ti range, and a savvy buyer will tend toward superior silicon rather than a shiny cooling solution combined with a factory-issued overclock. A computer hardware retailer in the UK, Novatech, has chosen to cut the price of a Palit RTX 4070 Dual model by £40/$50, as reported yesterday. The asking price has since returned closer to RRP - at the time of writing it stands at £579.98. GPU Pricing Update, April 2023: Is the Nvidia RTX 4070 Another Flop? Yep, all too late into the cycle for socket 1700. And if Intel make an 24 cores Raptor-Refresh you'll likely buy one at day one if you find one. I can't see any of the binned 13900KS will come close to an average Raptor-refresh. Intel need to do some major changes on power consumption for the refresh. As well come closer in gaming vs Ryzen X3D chips. This can be used for oc'ing. Btw.... @Mr. Fox AMD Radeon Graphics Drivers 23.4.2 WHQL

Can't do much wrong with old 8pin connectors😎 I would be more careful if this was the newer 12VHPWR ADAPTER for $10 USD. 13900KS SP117 (P129 E95 MC87) only $1,500 USD. No, thanks. If this was the last Cpu for socket 1700 and next socket + chips coming spring 2024 ( a year from now)... Maybe but nope.

Nope. Desktop HW ain't as Jokebook HW. And the silicon is a new revision and need another vbios. This doen't affect older cards. Only vbios changes will come (new firmware) if there is a major flaws with older silicon. Or security vulnerabilities that can't be fixed with drivers/OS. And I expect the HOF cards is the last one that will be crippled by the AIC partners or Nvidia themself (with drivers). Nvidia castrated the voltage sliders for Maxwell cards with driver changes. Aka = Disgusting changes on still supported Nvidia graphics cards.

Here... [Official] NVIDIA RTX 4090 Owner's Club Change etc both lines in the config file to... VFCurveEditorMinFrequency = 1000 VFCurveEditorMaxFrequency = 3500 Those etc with 4090FE was locked out using older vbios (No more 1.1V vbios). Stuck with 1.070. I expect the same will be also for the custom AIC cards. You can't cross flash to a better vBios anymore. So....... Nvidia make it easier for you. This won't change the silicon lottery. Only lock you out from use of other and/or better firmware. -------------------------------------------------------- Btw. Within 1.5 week and we are in last spring months before the summer. The winter coming back for the tenth time. I hate it!! And after short summer we are looking forwards to Oct and full winter for 2023/24. The heat is only "springtime" - now it's winter again - There is relatively much rain and low-pressure activity that controls the weather. They will also receive rainfall every day going forward. The difference is that the mild weather we have now will be much colder from Friday and Saturday. The low temperatures will mean that precipitation comes as snow showers and a generally wintry type of weather again

Yep, I saw this earlier today. I expect Unwinder had to re-evaluate what he said to me about scrapping any support for cards that still have driver support from Nvidia. I brought up this topic a few weeks ago... Here MSI AB / RTSS development news thread Offer no support for MSI branded cards "OC cards loose it's value" (MSI pay his bills) that still isn't EOL'ed by nvidia is quite special, sooo. I really like the card. But haven't had much time with it. All too much older HW I enjoy play with. Then we have illness in the family that takes our time (slow dying from cancer). The doctors stopped treatments due health can't handle it anymore. Hard time for the fam. So that's that. I also need buy a second PSU so I have enough power connectors for everything I want in the desktop without the need to diconnect the cables in and out from the PSU for the HOF everytime I play with the old. This is the only drawback I have with with the HOF (dual 12VHPWR connector). This increase the whole cost of the card. I mean you could edit this in the config file to increase Max clock speed limit.

What? A few weeks?🤯 Not what I can think of. Very sad hear this bro Ashtrix. I know the history of your AW17 so this is damn sad news😞 Hope you find a way to fix it. Regarding my AW17... My middle son use it while he fix up his house. The laptoop have been to him the last 2.5 years. And he still game on it on the days with his friends. His new desktop is here in my house. But he have no hurry bring it down to the house. The old AW17 still kick ass for his gaming needs with friends, LOOL

Have a older custom OC 7970 from Gigabyte without reference PCB design. You can't even use custom vbios or mod the bios with higher voltage. Custom PCB can hit both ways. Be sure the card can be used the way you want. Yep, he is spot on from 26:25 There is only one card worth buy from this new gen graphics cards. The rest is wasted silicon😎

The 4090 still stands at MSRP or above. How is the Red Devil and Hellhound 7900XT vs already suggested? https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-rx-7900-xt-drops-to-779-geforce-rtx-40-and-radeon-7000-series-now-available-at-or-below-msrp NVIDIA to Target $450 Price-point with GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Todays's best comment😁 Techpowerup.com | Today, 05:15 NVIDIA is preparing its fifth GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" graphics card launch in May 2023, with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. Red Gaming Tech reports that the company could target the USD $450 price-point with this SKU, putting it $150 below the recently launched RTX 4070, and $350 below the RTX 4070 Ti. The RTX 4060 Ti is expect to nearly max-out the 5 nm "AD106" silicon, the same one that powers the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. While the notebook chip maxes it out, featuring all 4,608 CUDA cores physically present across its 36 SM, the desktop RTX 4060 Ti will be slightly cut down, featuring 34 SM, which work out to 4,352 CUDA cores. The "AD106" silicon features a 128-bit wide memory interface, and NVIDIA is expected to use conventional 18 Gbps-rated GDDR6 memory chips. The design goal behind the RTX 4060 Ti could be to beat the previous-generation RTX 3070, and to sneak up on the RTX 3070 Ti, while offering greater energy efficiency, and new features such as DLSS 3.

More of the same..... Ads everywhere. This is not the first time Microsoft has promoted its products within the user interface of Windows apps. As part of an August 2022 campaign, it showed ads for Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions to Office 2021 customers and ads for various Microsoft products, including Microsoft Editor, in the File Explorer app in March 2022. The File Explorer had also been injected with OneDrive promotional messages years before, in 2016, while the Windows 10 Wordpad app had also displayed ads for Microsoft's free Office web apps in 2020. Microsoft has also advertised its Microsoft Edge web browser in the Windows 10 Start Menu, and it accidentally broke the Windows Taskbar and Start Menu while testing Microsoft Teams ads on some Windows Insider builds.

Today's Joke come from Tomshardware's editor Paul Alcorn. When the low ain't low enough from tomshardware. This is the closest you can come a paid shill. They put the fully locked down Ryzen X3D V-cashe chips on same level as Intel's unlocked chips for overclocking. So in short... Intel K processor vs Ryzen X3D = 1-1 in oc'ing. YEEES. I wonder how much they got paid for putting this "work of art" with big letters on first page🤔 Maybe an overclocking beast as the 7800X3D for the whole Tomshardware team for private use?😁 AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i7-13700K: Big Gaming Punch, Smaller Price Tag Btw. der8auer wonder what's wrong with nvidia😎 From 4:08

Nice way to cut costs down to the bone. Reduce the boards power vs previous gen card (3070) and then you can cut costs on the boards power delivery components. AIC partners is forced to make custom design (fancy lights and blinking fans) to make some profits. Because they don't make much profits from the chips itself as Nvidia can do. The 8GB vram was the icing on the cake to be able to sell a card at $599 MSRP. Nvidia know how to make the price point more appealing for the gamers😎 Modern features as DLSS 3 for fake FPS cost way less than the hardware in itself. The same way as Dell do with their gamoing flagship. Just implement features as TCC OFFSET in bios to reduce RMA/Support cost + cut costs on the cooler. The fact that NVIDIA is trying to counteract the current price spiral at least a little by more or less directly recommending that every manufacturer also offer products at an RRP is quite commendable. Only here you shift the problem elegantly to the board partner (AIC) and lean back and relax because you have a certain price advantage with the Founders Edition by using your own chips. And the AIC then starts to search for the last cent to be saved, which leads to quite strange limitations in places.
