Mr. Fox

Posted in your thread, bro. Thanks. Intel Xe and AMD FSR work essentially the same in CP2077. No difference using the Arc A770. Probably wouldn't be good at 4K, but this is not a 4K GPU. Smooth and fine at 1440p. Intel Xe Performance Mode

It doesn't work with the turdbook Quadro or the A770. I did not think it would, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thanks for sharing @ryan. It will be super helpful for anyone that has GPU that can use it. As an FYI, merging the .reg file and adding the DLL files did not break anything or cause any detectable change in game function, so don't be scared to try it. Intel Xe and AMD FSR work essentially the same in CP2077. No difference with the Arc A770.

Thanks. I did not see this until you mentioned it in the benchmark thread. I don't know if they will work at all with my laptop Quadro P5000 or my Arc A770, but I am going to try it just for giggles.

So what is the mod that you are using for this?

Tell us more.

There are more than a few examples of games that just run better with one particular GPU versus another. It is a software problem, not a hardware problem. It doesn't really have anything to do with the GPU being more powerful or better. It's just that it plays nicer with one than it does the other. We see that from time to time with certain benchmarks, especially less popular benchmarks. The choice in CPU can also be an influential factor and some games can run better and faster with an inferior CPU. Probably the best example of this is Arc GPUs running some old games that use antiquated DX APIs. Without driver optimization some have been uplayable, but it has nothing to do with the performance capabilities of the GPU.

4080S is essentially an 3090 Ti with the core overclocked 700-750MHz and the memory about 1000 MHz higher with 8GB less VRAM than a 3090 Ti. If you matched the 4080S clocks with the 3090 Ti the FPS would probably be about the same. The 4080S is not remarkably faster even though there is pretty huge difference in stock clocks.

Yeah, that fixed it. I could not see all of the window you had open with the tweak tool, but it looked like you were tweaking bclk. But, you got it over 11K. 😄 ❤️

Either the link is no good or the video is gone.

Hopefully ASUS won't kill anyones new CPUs with their cancer firmware blasting it with a ludicrous amount of voltage and ruin it for everyone else that doesn't have an ASUS mobo.

Ah, that makes sense. It might not be obvious unless it is a first-world problem if the media hasn't gone overboard making a mountain of a molehill (as they usually do everything).

Hmm. That's really strange. I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned anywhere that there was some kind of problem with NVIDIA 40 series on AMD. Now suddenly it is a problem never mentioned with a fix ready for roll-out? That doesn't make any sense to me. Something about that feels off

Yes he does, and I am always amazed at how many terrible messes he is capable of fixing. He is very talented. I enjoy Tech Notice as well. I am not into content creation, but his videos are very good quality and have useful information. That is a funny clip about ASUS motherboards. Don't admit to it, LOL. This is an interesting video, too. He did not use the 7900 XT very long. It was not good for his use scenario.

Yes, I really enjoy that channel. Very good information. I am not sure why the fuse did not blow, but there could be a valid reason it did not. The damage looks almost like it was user-induced. It looks like physical damage with the chunk broken off. If the owner of the GPU broke PCB at the connection on the edge and the contacts pads were out of alignment when the GPU was inserted into the motherboard that may have shorted in the socket without sending any power through the GPU PCB. If the short was in the PCIe slot it could burn things at the point of contact without any power being routed through the fuse or the PCB. That could explain why the fuse was not blown. I would like to see what the PCIe slot on the motherboard looks like. There may also have been something foreign in the PCIe slot that caused the short without sending power through the PCB, which could have burned the connection. If that were true (like a screw or washer in the PCIe slot) and the owner forced the GPU into the slot with the obstruction, that may have broken the PCB and shorted those connections.

At least he got back on the right path for using dry ice with a pot. But, his results were not impressive due to lack of experience. I've done better using chilled water. But, it's still good for entertainment purposes.

New releases... Nice. Victory has an awesome classic rock vibe. Interesting that Wikipedia shows Victory as being from Germany. You cannot really tell that from their music. Turbokill is also from Germany. It is more evident that it is with Victory.

💯

*sigh* so many stupid people... so little time for stupidity 😑 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "TargetReleaseVersion"=dword:00000001 "TargetReleaseVersionInfo"="22H2" "ProductVersion"="Windows 10" Or, for those who have already embraced degradation... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "TargetReleaseVersion"=dword:00000001 "TargetReleaseVersionInfo"="22H2" "ProductVersion"="Windows 11" No 23H2 preventative measures needed after merging the .reg files.

Yes, I am confident of that. While I enjoy his videos, most of them are more focused on entertainment. Same can be said of Linus. And, that's OK. If they were not entertaining most people would not watch them. Buildziod is the opposite. His videos are very educational and useful, but difficult to watch because they are long, rambling, dry and not particularly entertaining. But, I usually learn something from them. I can't remember ever learning something new from watching Jay's or Linus's videos. I probably have a few times, but I can't remember an example of where I did.

Yup, definitely. It is hard to find anything nice to say or a reason to show any of those imbeciles an ounce of respect. AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, crApple, Micro$lop, Google, Meta... all effing idiots and I hope that they all suffer catastrophic financial losses and lose their fannies with their stupid AI crap.

Yes, it should work. I have PCIe NVMe add-in cards in both of my Apex motherboards. The cards of both dual and quad SSD configuration. The bifurcation works automatically. There's nothing to manually adjust. The feature is not specific to individual PCIe slots. For PCIe 4.0 you would need one of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C64FVVHY?th=1 I don't really care whether my NVMe SSDs run at PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 speeds. PCIe 3.0 is fast enough. I have one of these in my Apex: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRYQH443?th=1 And, two of these in my Apex Encore: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NQGZ2XJ ASUS motherboards have always been unreliable and unpredictable compared to others, and the one AMD motherboard I owned was never reliable. I am not sure what you are asking about Jay. If he wants extreme cooling with dry ice he needs to use a DICE pot and put it on the CPU. Trying to use a conventional loop makes no sense.
