Maybe wait it out. Starfield is very bad optimized for Intel and nvidia. 3090 isn’t a bad card for gaming. https://www.tomshardware.com/features/starfield-pc-performance-how-much-gpu-do-you-need

4090 should have never been released. Should have been a Titan card. Geforce gaming should have stopped at 3080 Ti and 20GB vram for 1099$. No gaming card’s should have been above 1099$. So 700$ for the top dog Radeon and 3080 🙂 In absolutely worst case… 1199$ for the best 4K gaming card from Nvidia (102 die).

Nvidia just do the same as AMD did with Ryzen 9 5950X. They all will do the same if they have the chance. I look on MSRP prices. Amd wanted 1000$ for a card that should have costed 700$ two years ago. They slided in that disgusting 1K because that should steal sales from the 4080 scam prices. And what with the 7900XT Joke? Disgusting. Yup, 4080 price is a huge failure. And I don’t defend the price point for 4090. But this was the only card I wanted from nvidia this gen. The rest is of nvidias lineup is either perverse overpriced or castrated. And I don’t touch AMD with a 10 feet pole. Not easy buy tech products as it is now. And have you ever seen NVIDIA offer a huge performance uplift as 3% above previous gen cards? That’s Intel level but for graphics cards. Yup, nvidia also tricked with this gen cards. 4060 should have been 4050.

I don’t want support this with my money. Nope. Not me. And AMD try always follow Nvidia’s prices. Yep, slightly lower but if they have the chance they will do as they did with Ryzen 9 5950X. First mainstream processor matching $800 due no competition. They are not any better than Nvidia. Greedy bastards that aren’t willing to try be on top. Just tune prices so high they can vs what they offer. And what with the performance uplift for some of their SKUs. 3-5% above it’s predecessor two years ago. A joke! And the last nail… I won’t support help paying Fu. Azor’s paycheck. Nope. Not me. Yup. No in hell I support Azor. More than good enough reason to avoid AMD. Value and Conclusion Only small gen-over-gen performance improvement. but AMD has placed a non-functional dummy die here instead, to provide structural stability. Oc’ing From here on slowly reduce maximum voltage until your card becomes unstable running benchmarks or games. Undervolting is a must for RDNA3, because that will free up some power headroom for the clock algorithm to push frequencies higher. These cards typically get unstable around 950 mV, so there's a lot of headroom (the default is 1.15 V). https://www.techpowerup.com/review/powercolor-radeon-rx-7800-xt-hellhound/40.html

isn’t it stupid? The only brand went their own way and used 12VHPWR connectors that have the connectors opposite way. Maybe Asus needs all those weird shaped connectors themselves due huge lack of them? Why go own way? What did they gain with this? Awful for those that have a very good bin. Re-read my previous post about “ticking bomb”. Then read this one. Weird people can’t read or maybe they are just stupid. Not sure what’s correct bro @ryan “It seems unwise to let the old adapter in, but it hasn't failed me in more than 5 months. Happy bro @electrosoft listened 🙂

This looks fun. Puke with me 🤮🤮🤮 bro @Mr. Fox The cooling setup on this card does a nice job keeping temperatures in check without making much noise, but unfortunately, tweaking the memory speed “resulted in a black screen”. Buggy drivers or awful/defective hardware? Or is it just AMD? Whatever it is… Not acceptable. https://hothardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-and-7700-xt-with-xfx?page=5

Bro @Rage Set Look at this question. My answers on this topic have been exactly the same the whole time. “Ticking bomb”. You never know when it goes to hell. Even Cablemod reps can’t predict exactly when the bomb goes off. But it will. Just a question of time. And for all sold angled adapers. They all will burn up together with the graphics cards🙂 Why can’t people use their brains? You don’t need a higher doctor degree to understand all this. Just use your brain bro @ryan And why continue use any of the CM products if you don’t feel safe with their products? Hmmmm ”I am wondering why it happens randomly a few weeks / months after plugging it in”

What ssd cooling tower did you buy? Not all is good.

Not sure this is so tempting for the old gamer bro @Mr. Fox https://www.pcgamer.com/starfields-disappointing-intro-is-bethesdas-weakest-even-if-we-do-get-a-free-spaceship/ But, like practically all the graphics cards of this generation, it feels like we're getting the bare minimum, just enough. https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-review-performance-benchmarks/

Yep, gif is the next to increase price premium… Want it bad bro Fox? You can have a gif of my history and avatar puking all day😅 Search up history of Papusan’s puking avatars. Just search up one of my two avatars. Police and team America puking as pointing stick. My trademark. People wondered where my creativity come from. I’m old so old so the modern kids didn’t know where to look. Yep, I’m in front of most with a mile. Yep, become old ls is an advantage. Many throughout the years have asked me about my history. Here it is… Edit enjoy. My avatars is built from this old history. Sooo me. Can’t come closer than Papusan’s old history. And this have followed me all time and can’t be changed It’s me. Yep, @ryan now you finally know the whole history about your awesome old friend on notebooktalk/NBR called Papusan. Now You know me better than what you know about your own mother :) Papusan is more than crocs bro @electrosoft 🙂 https://www.anandtech.com/show/18843/gigabyte-z790-aorus-xtreme-motherboard-review-flagship-z790-with-impressive-vrm-thermals/8 One flagship model on Intel's Z790 chipset that ticks the above boxes is the GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Xtreme; well, aside from the screen that can't display gifs Edit. Fantastic weather. Evening outside Africa. 21:45 and 27C. My wonderful wife in front 🙂

Hence criticism is very valuable. If you sit on your shiny horse doing nothing to improve you’ll lose in the long run. Low quality will always hit you back and bite you in your.,,,,,,,

AMD graphics is equal old Skylake gen processors. Nvidia offers usually more than 5-10 performance uplift gen over gen. The cooperation between nvidia and AMD is awful. They know exactly what the competitors offer every gen. Hence we won’t see real competition and correct pricing for their products. So not only nvidia to blame here bro @Etern4l But if you already have a decent gaming PC with a GPU made in the past four years, you can almost certainly sit this generation out and wait to see what happens with RDNA 4 and "Nvidia-Next" — maybe Blackwell, though that could just as well be the next data center part. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt-review/10 The 7800 XT serves a purpose, and it's not a bad card, but it's also not particularly exciting. 5% more performance and 17% less power use, for basically the same going rate, represents a small step forward

Very nice. Now up to AMD delivering proper drivers and their new frame gen features. And a lot cards for sale. AMD can own low/mid end. Every single bit. Nvidia have only RT and that’s feature is almost useless for mid end card. How long will nvidia keep 600$ for 4070 bro @electrosoft? And what with the price point for their 128-bus 4060Ti and 4060 scam? I hope Nvidia now take a pause and rethink their greed. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/powercolor-radeon-rx-7800-xt-hellhound/31.html 7700 has lower value but still a much better choice than Nvidia. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-7700-xt-pulse/32.html There is simply no reason to buy nvidia low/mid end. And that was my conclusion before reviews of 7700 and 7800 xt. Gamers don’t need RT with so weak cards. Neither should they buy such overpriced castrated graphics cards. 128 bit is almost iGPU graphics whose share internal memory. Aka worst of the worst for real gaming. Now up to nvidia showing up how greedy they are. Better have finished graphics cards in the shelves not selling? @electrosoft 🙂

Hi. Better. Thanks for asking. We have had two days with chilli 27C and no sun. Grey weather. But slightly windy so it feels colder. Today is the sun back and I expect temperatures to be around 30C. Not bad. Hopefully temp doesn’t climb above 32C. We have AC now so we can have at least 25C as max inside the bungalow. I usually never sit directly under the sun. Has to be under a roof or a huge umbrella. 25-28 is what I hope for 🙂 I only hope we can avoid the wind and high humidity. Now the humidity is around 63 I think. Hope it stays there or slightly sink to 50. But humidity has been 62-66 several days so I doubt that will change. The weather is chaotic in Europe now. Islas Canary is under Spain but the islands is right outside Africa coast so not as affected. These islands have one of the best climate on earth. Usually 25-28C. Right now 27C, full sun and middle of day 13:30 Here are the car we rented for this summer vacation. T-Rox. Works ok and ok price The chaos. https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/europa-snudd-pa-hodet/80153217 As usual. Middle Norway can’t have good weather. Even if the chaotic weather in Europe usually push better/warmer weather up to Scandinavia and southern Norway. My hometown is flooded with rain and cold as usual. Not fun going home when that time comes 😞 10C rain wind and 96% humidity home isn’t tempting. Stuck with awful weather 8 out of 12 months isn’t nice. And the 4 so called better months isn’t fantastic either. Can’t have it both. Same with today’s tech.

Nope. Azor isn’t innocent. Seems people have forgot what a manipulator he is. Remember the bragging about world’s fastest gaming laptop? He was taken with the pants down from etc @Prema Hi himself afterwards promised a new vbios for their jokebook to try come on par to compete with the other brands. He talks with everyone in his department to make everything his way if needed. Don’t trust that devil. And yup, Azor was the man that said AMD won’t compete with 4090. All AMD has is an 4080 competitor with slightly lower price. Directly out of the asss mouth. All those on the top talking with each others before they throw out finished products. And Azor is one of them. The real salesman that will talk with the press afterwards. AMD looks more on power efficiency than offering the gaming crown. Tuning games vs the graphics cards brand isn’t the same as the most powerful graphics cards. Just adjust the game vs your graphics architecture. Btw. Every morning and a new nice good beef for breakfast here outside Africa 🙂 Spain and Africa have good beef and at 1/3 of the price vs home in Norway. So beef two times a day now, LOOL Then we have all the restaurants with same good beef quality. I think it will be some time before I jump on a beef dinner when we come home, HaHa

I’m sure this one will be patched so we can get newer bugs 🙂 Windows File Explorer Bug Ironically Boosts Browsing Performance Windows File Explorer Bug Ironically Boosts Browsing Performance

It’s always everyones turn. Only for the chosen ones. The Cablemod jockeys 🙂 And right in time after MSI won’t pay for others failures Starfield dlss 3 mod for free… https://wccftech.com/starfield-dlss-3-mod-by-lukefz-now-available-for-free/ just like PureDark's mod, this one also suffers from continuous crashing whenever loading or switching to a menu. It's a known issue that affects several people at random, myself included. Hopefully, a fix will be eventually found. Amd too afraid for more noise after previous failure with Starfield?

And with no rollback as Asus and Dell usually offer with their fantastic firmware updates then you see where I go with “Newer has to be better”. Disgusting! And then you have the sleeper in the background try offering new bios updates to everyone from Win update servers then you can see what a disaster this can be with a oc’d system (without power backup as an UPS). BUT THE MODERN COMPUTER USERS IS STILL HAPPY THEY GET ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET WITH FIRMWARE UPDATES. They want it so we all should be treated equally. I can freeze in the hot weather here of all this, LOOL

Just beautiful… Newest is always better. What a joke. Intel Microcode Caused “Unsupported CPU” BSOD Issue, New BIOS With Updated Microcode Coming Soon https://wccftech.com/intel-microcode-unsupported-cpu-bsod-issue-new-bios-updated-microcode-fix-soon/ Intel's own microcode has been found to be the culprit causing various "Unsupported CPU" BSOD issues on 13th Gen CPUs & the company is already working on a new microcode.

Yup I waited on this one, @Rage Set a smash in the face for offering trash quality. Exactly as I have said the whole time. Who’s next following suit? Nice see that this being pointed out. I stand with my statement. Avoid custom cables and adapters. You risk all too much. And many companies that offer custom cables/adapters won’t help you out once you’re screwed by trash quality and QC problems. So nice that owners of MSI cards finally don’t need to crawl and begging MSI support for help anymore. Just go directly to Cablemod support. Hope they can offer a refund within a few days. Then try the silicon lottery a second time. Maybe you have the new card within 4 weeks. And the new revision of ADA 102 chips has to be better. Always @ryan MSI won’t cover the RMA because of the use of the CableMod 12VHPWR power adapter. https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-rejects-graphics-card-rma-claim-due-to-use-of-a-cablemod-12vhpwr-adapter The hardware influencers on YouTube and websites should stop push recommendation depending on how much they get paid. And hidden payments is an awful practice. They all do this whatever they say No or yes. Igorslab etc should be ashamed! Same with Jayz and many others. Ps. Se my ranting about lack of quality in my previous posts. They are spot on. As always bro @ryan😎

Cutting edge tech is too difficult for engineers. Just the normal nowadays. Microsoft ain’t the only company that have sloopy engineers. We pay huge premium above inflation but get lackluster workmanship back in the face. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-motherboard-firmware-update-saving-your-ddr5-ram-from-corruption

Why will Asus only partially refund the smoked card? Any reason for this half-baked solution? Hope Cablemod pay the rest to cut their losses? That’s greedy bro @Mr. Fox Or pretty shady practice. Either they refund every cent or throw him under the bus and let Cablemod pick up the pieces. Disgusting. And Cablemod continues with their QC problems. Several of the same last +3 months. Same with their adapters. Cut costs will always come at a price. Such mess is rarely seen from higher end PSU manufacturers. They don’t want to gamble with their reputation. Cheap Chinese PSU companies will do but not a quality company. And Cablemod only deal with the unknown Chinese companies https://ibb.co/VT69Y9Y For me… No thanks. I rather stay with the OEM cables. Not cheapo made products to max out profits everywhere.

I think bro Kojack meant 1500$ for a graphics card is 🤮 You should be able to get a decent pc for same 1500$ if it wasn’t for the greed. The inflation shouldn’t stop you from getting such setup. The greed stops you. Etc +71% price hike isn’t inflation. Look at you 4080 vs 3080. That’s greed 😉 only the 4090 was kept under inflation goals. The rest of Nvidia’s lineup was purely greed. Same for the two Radeon 7900 graphics SKUs. Again exactly the same for motherboards. 40-50% upwards since Z590. Newest MSI Z790 refresh with the X moniker get another nice 15% on top of previous Z790 Skus from last year. Barely better but 15% more expensive. So today’s word has to be greeed. Not inflation 🙂 And enjoy the time with the lille. No more gaming for you bro Jaybee😁

I have no time spend 8 hours a day for gameing. Maybe 1/2 an hour to 3 quarters. That’s max when I have the time for this, LOOL And not everyday. Maybe 2 times a week when I have the time, HaHa My dogs would kill me if I have done the same as you brother. Also my wife. Maybe I have been kicked out of our house with the head and face in front , LOOL

Yup, sad people can’t see the truth. All is about placebo. The real numbers show the truth. Then you have the tweaking the power enthusiast do on top of already snappier OS. The average Joe just can’t see how it should work. They are happy with lackluster. But that’s expected. You just can’t wake up a dead man after a car crash.
