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.

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.

heres witcher 3 at 4k all high dlss set to auto. before i was getting 10fps and with frame generation around 33fps

 

 

id say quality dlss 4k high settings and getting 80fps in RACRA is incredible. 3080s are around 70-90fps. so yeah the bump up is pretty good, for some reason its saying its fsr3 mod now. beofre it was just dlss fg. so im not sure if im using the right one if not it still looks good and runs great regardless of amd or nvidia version./

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

@tps3443 did you know the 3090 can do frame generation by dropping two dlls into said game. Alot of people are unaware of this trick but if imagine your old 3090 would get 90 vs 50

Tell us more.

Yeah the 4080 Super is very nice. Primarily with just how efficient it is. 90% of the time my 4080 Super with the 450W bios is literally 80% of a stock RTX4090 (Most of the time) It’s pretty fast! My old 3090KP was also quick for a 3090, it was substantially faster than overclocked 3090Ti’s. I believe the biggest advantage is the 4080S feels faster in real world when using RT/FG/DLSS3. Not to mention Cyberpunk 2077. Mainly because of Frame Gen. I can play Cyberpunk with 4K, DLSS Quality, Ultra RT, Path tracing off, and average exactly 100FPS. My 3090 would be high 50‘s here. So it makes the 4080S feel and seem like a monster in comparison all thanks to Frame Gen, better RT performance, and all at a fraction of the power cost lol. And it’s just so much smoother. When I was playing CB2077 on my 3090KP I had a profile that was pulling about 580-620W range on power. And it was barely maintaining that 54-60. 
 

I actually did buy a 4090. So we’ll see if it’s able to offer me more than 20% uptick. Possibly 25%. 😬 I’m hopeful though. The 4090 seems like sometimes it can just demolish in these rare scenarios, but other times it only offers a smaller boost over the 4080 Super. I know the 4090 is strong. But when I see my benchmarks compared to a stock 4090, I’m a little hesitant. But then I think about how much I enjoyed just 18%, whereas if it is something in the realm of  20-28% that would be a very welcome improvement. 
 

Anyways, I always thought going from a 3090Ti to a 4080 Super is pretty much like a half way mark to the full on 4090 performance boost. Some people may not think that’s good enough though, and that certainly makes sense. 

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.

3090ti vs 4080 super.

 

My original assessment stands. Raw power, the only real upgrade for a 3090/3090ti owner is the 4090. I suspect history will repeat itself for 4090 owners and the only real upgrade will be the 5090.

 

 

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.

Yup, interesting. I'm sure you'll find a lot more with a deeper search.

 

And only AMD have access to the loads of telemetry data stolen from your PC via drivers, firmware and software. I'm sure AMD also get crash logs from Microsoft. Then keep such info hided from people and fool the customers with stupid fixes they know don't work. Afterwards come with a half-baked fix they have worked on several months/years afterwards. Tech industry is a rotten business.*****https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/qualcomm-snapdragon-x-elite-laptops-suffer-compatibility-issues-with-many-games

"Interestingly, when I swapped back to my old CPU, the Ryzen 7 2700X, I didn't experience any stuttering issues with the RTX 4070 Super".

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).

Nice. Finally after 1.5 years they are able to fix the 4000 series stability issues. And right in time for 9000 series Ryzen. Yup.........

 

 

 

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.

Yup, I also enoy this channel below🙂 What to avoid.... Yep, Gigabyte goes their own way. So no love from NWR. But we all know that. My one and lonely Gigabyte card (one of +20 different cards) died due my hobby. Yup, I avoid this brand. Cheap old or not doesn't matter.

 

 

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.

A couple of days ago, Microsoft released the latest non-security update for Windows 11 and Windows 10. The latter received a bunch of useful fixes, while Windows 11 got some new features and changes. If you are tempted to try KB5039302, beware of a nasty bug that can seriously break your computer to the point of being completely unable to use it. Microsoft has just confirmed that KB5039302 is causing infinite restarts on some systems.

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.

Haha, never heard of that one 😄

 

Intel obviously wants to compete with Qualcomm in certain aspects like implementing next to zero upgradeability so Lunar Lake now supposedly comes with integrated memory - all in the name of AI and battery life I guess.

 

Apart from that I have for a number of weeks tried to make sense of all the new stuff that is coming out but have now given up as it is an utter waste of time to try and make sense of the lunacy that unfolds in the race for the next generation of CPUs and GPUs or combined chips.

 

From what I could gather before I stopped following the big AI love fest there seems to be a competition between AMD, Apple, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm as to who can create the most deceptive and irrelevant charts for their new products while often not even telling us the most basic specs or release dates.

 

So I'll be back when I can see proper benchmarks that actually allow for comparisons to previous generations of hardware.

 

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.

@Mr. Fox I’m wondering if you could help me with this.

 

I wanted to ask a question. I cannot find this answer anywhere about burification on the Apex. If I had a X8 lane PCIe add in card and wanted to run (2) x4 NVME's on this add in card using my 2nd PCIe x16 slot on my Z790 Apex, would that work? I know it would drop my top GPU PCIe to X8, but I'm wondering if the 2nd PCIe would see both of the x4 NVME SSD's in my 2nd x16 PCIe slot. 
 

I can’t seem to find this information. I see people reporting that it may only see (1) of them. 
 

 

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.
