    It depends. How much more can Nvidia extract with ballooning TDPs? Will we get the same meaningful upgrade as from 2000 to 3000 or will we get 1000 to 2000 which wasn't nearly as awe inspiring? Then there's AMD pushing both Nvidia and Intel to keep it real and put forth their best silicon. On the other hand, I am more than happy with a ~66% uplift. That 4090 will effectively bury every 3000 series card 6 feet under. I'll wait for the 4090ti fire breathing dragon to upgrade next time. https://videocardz.com/newz/full-nvidia-ada-ad102-gpu-reportedly-twice-as-fast-as-rtx-3090-in-game-control-at-4k

    Nowhere did I think the 4090 was going to deliver 2x the performance of the 3090ti but 66% is a pretty hefty uplift. I'm curious to see the maturation of RT equally if not more than the rasterization uplift. And no way do I listen to Jensen or Lisa with their presentation numbers. When reviewers and users get ahold of their products as always performance is always less than advertised. Someone doing napkin math places the 4070 below the 3080 (especially it is has the reported crippled bus): Pre-launch speculation is always so much fun! 🙂

    4090 potentially 66% faster than the 3090ti? Righteous! Thanks AMD! 😅 https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-is-reportedly-66-faster-than-rtx-3090-ti-in-3dmark-time-spy-extreme-test

    Ugh, hopefully not a start to another run of hardware gremlins and bad luck like before where everybody kept at least 60ft away at all time. ðŸĪŠ

    😆ðŸĪĢ😂 " The AIB sources explained: "This month we told NVIDIA to go pound sound. We don't want to buy anymore Ampere or Turing stock until we liquidate our existing warehouses. At this point we're even willing to risk Lovelace allocation if they threaten us". They in that situation, being NVIDIA. "NVIDIA underestimated how desperate we were getting, but no more. They're finally working with us on solutions to clear as much stock as possible before Lovelace launches in October. BTW - the overwhelming majority of Used mining stock hasn't even hit the west yet. We need to get rid of these New cards NOW".

    Sheesh, EVGA Z690 Classified down to $299.23 for their 1-23 sale. $330 off. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=121-AL-E698-KR

    LOL, my tentative plan is when RPL drops to pick one up and drop it in whatever is my current MB and track down a used NH55 and drop my 12900k in it especially after much of the issues have been fleshed out / documented.

    EVGA Z690 Dark on sale for 499.99.....tempting. 🙂 https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=121-AL-E699-KR

    They are seriously Jonsin' to be Apple..... M$ W11 is no longer an OS first but a data mining, services selling, ad distribution platform. Just sell me the OS with none of that garbage as an option sheesh.
  10. electrosoft
    With each major release I always spend 3-4 weeks with the new then back to the old rinse/repeat while the new matures and grows into its own. I'm coming off a month (again) on W11 and when I retrofit my hardware with the 1600 P2 and 3090ti I'll be going back to W10 again. I think I'll be staying there for awhile. W11 is just not doing it for me even after having interleaved W10 and W11 for quite awhile now. I ran W11 on my X170SM-G for a couple of months but went back to W10 a few months ago there too.

    I think there was a member on the old forums that purposely stacked his pipes to see if it helped and the nature of the design resulted in much ado about nothing and as @Mr. Fox says having pipes with direct contact point to point will yield the best results.

    Some of this probably extends back to the absolute crap fest they experienced transitioning from XP to Vista and 7. Their biggest fear is if they cut support enterprises will look elsewhere potentially.

    Future playtime (yet another project 😁) aka Project Dragonflight Hopefully your memory arrived @Mr. Fox

    Jarrod'sTech review of the Scar:
  15. electrosoft
    I agree. Instead of having 3-4 models you then have numerous sub models within the primary models based on power. This GL66 with a 3070 clocks in at ~9400 gpu stock clocks on Time Spy with no overclocks so you're looking at best a ~10% boost over your 3060 which is not exactly an exciting boost.
  16. electrosoft
    This generation with such massive power discrepancies on desktop vs laptop, the 3060 is the closest representation of its desktop counterpart. Throw in Nvidia playing all types of PL games within the same model and tons of cross over and things are all over the map. Some laptops don't even match their given specs. The GL66 in my sig that is supposed to have a 105w 3070 pulls 140w under load and gaming. Depending on your Time Spy score, you may need to jump to at least a 140w+ 3080 laptop variant. What is your Time Spy score stock no OCs?

    Yup, two deliveries now rescheduled for tomorrow too from an original Wednesday delivery date. On the other hand, a FedEx delivery for a new display I ordered due tomorrow showed up today..... Outside of World of Warcraft (which I usually pre-order the epic edition), I always wait for prices to drop for games. I just picked up Fallout 76' deluxe edition with all the goodies during Steams massive sale for $15.

    Luckily my crusted LM was on top of the IHS for the stock 10900k but it stopped the CPU from pairing correctly with the heatsink.
  19. electrosoft
    Awwwww.... Copper IHS looks nice in there though. 🙂

    eBay listing with racks of KPE 3090's mining for sale. I've never seen that config with all those 360mm AIOs in action top and bottom:
  21. electrosoft
    Ditto for a few of my UPS orders too. A late trailer is causing the delay. Ah well.....
  22. electrosoft
    lol, 145w nice! The PL on this MSI is actually 200w (!) but it hits thermal wall around 121w so far. Going to try to get a uv going but also adjust the PL down to 80w and start scaling by 5-10w and see where it hits the perfect equilibrium point so it doesn't throttle and drop so much then try to climb again, throttle rinse/repeat. The TG contact frame might be a major game changer if the socket is subject to the odd bending forces like desktops. If the retention system exerts the same amount of force as a desktop board on the laptop board which might not be as robust you might even experience even more from the TG than the desktop even.

    If the X15 had a beefier heatsink and cooling so much more performance could be extracted. Hopefully something pops up on aliexpress sooner than later. I ended up having to clean up a lot of garbage mistakes under the hood including several mis-aligned and double stacked thermal pads, incomplete thermal coverage and tape covering a memory chip for starters. After a few thermal paste replacements I ended up doing a shim mod and replaced the stock screws with another set. I was then able to switch to kingpin thermal paste. Opened up the extended menus in MSI BIOS but the H chipset is pretty limited. Next stop is Throttlestop. This is all without an undervolt yet. Those full fat 8+8 12th gen chips do add some extra oomph. 🙂
  24. electrosoft
    I think @jaybee83 or even @win32asmguy pulled 140w'ish? Now that I've worked out a lot of the kinks, even this MSI Pulse 12700k GL66 is pulling up to 121w and went from ~10k CB23 to 17.5k CB23. See if I can extract a bit more out of it.
  25. electrosoft
    Nice, make sure to post a screen shot to see the temps, pull, Vcore under load and score! 👍 Still tempted to give the aliexpress universal HS a try. It supports both 3000 and 2000 series cards and looks decently solid.
