For me it really depends on screen size and viewing distance. But for a normal computer desk viewing distance, 27" screen I can easily spot the difference between a 1080p, 1440p, and 4K screen. 1440p is a tad more difficult, but individual pixels are still viewable, 1080p is disgusting on a screen that size, and 4K is finally at a high enough DPI that individual pixels are no longer distinguishable. In game, it's no contest, a 4K screens clarity and detail really stands out. Textures look incredible and games have never looked so crisp and beautiful. I've been gaming at 4K 144Hz since 2019, and the road only points forward. Although I do wonder if were going to reach a point in the near future where it won't matter anymore. Like the next horizon is 8K screens, but will that matter if we can't see individual pixels anymore? My gut tells me we're close to the end on resolution, or need for a new monitor technology to make a real difference in visual fidelity and the drive towards life like graphics.

LOL I totally forgot I renamed them to that one day when I was screwing around. Now it's staying haha. And yes, I've had quite a few comments about that on YouTube over the years. It's so weird hearing your own voice recorded, like wtf I don't sound like that..

Been testing Frame Generation all day for PureDark.. I had no issues with stability or otherwise after about 6 hours of testing. It's now been greenlit and is released to his patreon supporters/discord if interested. It's an amazing mod that will give you HUGE FPS gains. BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO AMD and their attempts to block frame gen and DLSS.

Wow that is an absolutely crazy good price.

Which one did you go with? I was supposed to have a water block yesterday from ModMyMods.com. I reached out to them and they were very nice and apologized for the delay in shipment and said it would ship yesterday. They made a shipping label.. They emailed them this morning after no change on FedEx website and was told he personally shipped it for me yesterday and that it should arrive? I am giving them to the end of the day and then requesting my $$ back for their expedited shipment. First time ordering from them and I am less than impressed so far. They do reply pretty quick and are professional, but something just feels off.

Redacted. 🙃

That is the basic problem with FSR2, it has a lack of temporal stability. As soon as you move the object fizzles, shimmers and grains. It looks like absolute garbage and reminds me of using a high level of motion blur. In static images it looks half way decent against DLSS2+. But as soon as you move, it's game over lol. Also it's useless outside of Quality preset. Meanwhile recent versions of DLSS, like 3.5.0 look completely serviceable even at the Ultra Preset with a 4K resolution "start point". I use DLSS2 in every single game that I play because I'm on 4K. When you start at 4K and then use a quality or balanced, it's near impossible to tell the difference. I highly doubt anyone would be able to identify it in a side by side blind comparison. So when I see companies going out of their way to pay off a dev to force use of their shitty tech, claiming to care about gamers, it truly pisses me off. Include all 3 techs and let the market decide.

Yes and I'm playing it at 4K Ultra, DLAA (native super AA) with around 60-80fps. DLSS mod was released for free within 2 hours of launch lol. I played about 15 minutes of FSR2, enough time to realize that FSR still sucks. This company has probably sold millions of copies of this game and can't spend a half days work to properly implement DLSS? "It's too time consuming and difficult for devs!!" That is a pathetic excuse that is parroted around the internet. Thank god for PureDark and his amazing abilities. It took the guy 2 hours to implement DLSS support. I also get an extra 11fps just by forcing on ReBar with inspector. Remember AMD by default has SAM turned on for all games. Nvidia in their infinite wisdom only greenlights some games in their drivers. Stupid.

Wait.. Wait!! hmscott was Scott Herkelman?! I would totally believe that! That guy was the biggest AMD/Radeon Fanboy I've ever met.

These are exactly my findings. The 40 series seem to hit a voltage wall around 1.13-1.15v. Even though my XOC 4080 vBIOS can push 1.195v, there is absolutely no use for it unless doing LN2 or similar. You can't cool it and the chip does not seem to scale with it unless using crazy exotic cooling. I've actually just been using the regular Asus 420w vBIOS on this 4080 as 1.11v seems to be plenty until I decide if I really want to tinker with water on an 80 series card. Had to go back and beat my old score and show them it wasn't a once off. #1 and #2 are mine. They can have bronze.

It's possible he blew a fuse on the card? Hopefully he updates us when he pulls the block.

The guy that unlocked nvflash for 40 series flash, full sent his 4090 with 1.3v (using external elmor labs) LOL. 1175w and it now rests in Valhalla. But he took the world record for Solar Bay just previous to this run lol. https://www.3dmark.com/search#advanced?test=sb P&cpuId=&gpuId=1509&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock=

Yes unfortunately this is a Galax XOC vBIOS for the 4080. 1000w and temp limits removed, true XOC. I have no idea why this is only available for the 4080 and not the true KING 4090. Makes absolutely no sense. My guess is that this was never intended to leak. After Nvflash was patched I've finally been able to flash it and use it. Works perfectly on my TUF 4080 model. It allows me to set 1195mV which is incredible, but impossible for me to cool that much voltage unfortunately. I am looking into grabbing a block for the card to let it fly a bit. It's a 4080, but at least now I have some real voltage to do some tuning with. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/255340/255340

LOL that burned TUF 4090 is my wife’s cousin. He sent me that image the other day. Apparently Asus is taking care of him and doing expedited shipment.

Interesting, that's very interesting.. Grabbed 4th on Speedway https://www.3dmark.com/search#advanced?test=sw P&cpuId=&gpuId=1520&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock= https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/98720862 Got some major testing to do tonight. I need a waterblock and chiller now. I can't cool 1195mV. The temps go wild way too fast. So now it's a delicate balance between voltage and clocks and temps to not throttle below what 1110mV would have given me.

With the pace that Microcenter is building new locations, I'm truly shocked that Phoenix area hasn't gotten one yet. I think Miami is next?

Yes I had an Omen 16 11800H/3070 laptop similar to yours. Had same motherboard I believe. I managed to overclock the RAM to Gear 1 and set 3200MHz CL17 through use of a USB drive and setting the variables myself. No BIOS screen or advanced BIOS unfortunately. Just typing in what I wanted, and pointing it to the addresses essentially. Kinda annoying to do have to it that way, but it works and isn't particularly difficult once you figure it out. At a minimum setting Gear 1 will help greatly. You're already at 3200 CL22 by default, but by default it's using Gear 2 which is terribly slow. Point me to your current BIOS download/file. Let me dump the BIOS file and take a look. Then I'll PM you instructions on how to make the USB file, and how to type the commands. When you get in and get it to do what you want you feel like you hacked your machine lol. Also loved this show, was a shame when they got rid of it.

Sorry to hear about your father, I hope you still enjoy your day and the good food and the great weather!

They very likely modded their card and added the missing VRAM modules. I've seen a few do that, some modded their 3070 laptops to use 16gb VRAM. Easier to do as the density of the GDDR6 modules has gotten higher. The test seems to also really like CPU/memory speed. Have you considered getting that HP into Gear 1? Gear 2 is terrible on laptops. Can shave off an easy 20ns of latency just by switching to Gear 1.

Force ReBar and you should easily be #1.

I have to close out of MSI Afterburner and Riva in order to run the benchmark. So I can't watch clocks in real-time. I set my clock, close out and run the benchmark and it runs fine. Others have reported the same issue so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Have you forced ReBar through NvInspector for 3dmark? There isn't exactly a profile for SolarBar, but I found forcing for general 3dmark profile it helped a bit. Forced with Battlefield V profile for all 3 toggles in NVINspector.

Absolutely. In case any of us have to RMA a card, were sure to get a castrated version back which is BS. Thankfully this legend took card of that issue. https://www.3dmark.com/search#advanced?test=sb P&cpuId=&gpuId=1520&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock= Not sure any of you have tried out this new free benchmark. With my new voltage headroom I've been able to extend my lead. Newest 3dMark is buggy AF. It validated fine, then went back to grab screenshot and shows not. Then launching a benchmark it will show a different benchmark but then launch the correct one. Very buggy behavior lately. O well.

You can now use this patched Nvflash to flash the old vBIOS to get full 1.1v back on any 4090 card. This also works on 4080 as I just flashed my volts limited 4080 back to full 1.11v. github.com/notfromstatefarm/nvflash Credits to this guy.
