Good idea. If you can use a digital multimeter, and set it to record min/max on that 12v rail. The do testing, play games, whatever you were having a problem with, check the minimum observed voltage. If that rail is actually dropping below 11v, you need a new PSU, or RMA that one. This exact...

So cool! I use a 240hz oled, so I don't need it apparently. But still really neat. Nvidia, love em or hate em, you gotta admit they keep pushing the edge and making new amazing tech.

That's just Jensen in drag! Changes his jacket, puts on a bit of makeup, glasses, comb in gray hair coloring, done. Why just run 1 multibillion dollar company, when you can run 2 and make twice the monies...

If they had at least securely implemented it, it would have improved the overall security of those systems. Firmware updates often fix security issues, spectre/meltdown, etc. So if it had been better designed, it would have been a good idea. I do think that the user should get a pop-up...

Could be anything really. Video card and system memory are likely suspects.

That error can be caused by many things. One of the more common ones is a bad stick of ram. So if it comes back, there are some things to try like dism restorehealth, sfc scannow, uninstall and reinstall drivers. But the system ram is most common from the looks. the video driver uses large...

Do it! Would love to see if they can re-create your issue. Is there any chance it wasn't seated all of the way? It's also possible that your GPU just needed re-seated or pushed on, or that the cable from the card to the display wasn't fully seated. If you remember a date/time when one of the...

The Gtx980 launched at $549. The Gtx960 launched at $199, that's 36% the price of the flagship. The 4060Ti (not 4060 which would actually be the equivalent product stack comparison) is launching at $399 and that is 33% the price of this generations' flagship 4080 at $1199. It's a lower price...

Been using the Cablemod adapter for about 2 months now. A week or 2 back when the repair guy put the youtube video out, saying that the Cablemod adapter is melting on people, I checked mine. It's fine. It's same story as any of these adapters, make sure it is plugged in. The card he was...

Does your LCD support any kind of adaptive sync? If you have/get a G-Sync monitor, those times when fps hits 40 will not be noticeable. It will stay smooth. We could better recommend something if we knew what the budget was.

After disabling that in the Control Panel, you need to reboot for it to fully apply.

You guys are funny. If you own a 3xxx anything, this card isn't for you. People who buy on the low end, and this is, 'low end', do not buy a card every generation. So it is better than the previous gen, but not by much in raster performance, but that performance delta goes up with DLSS3, only...

That sounds like the maximum that the socket specification supports. And of course they pull less at idle, and different workloads will have different power needs. It's still insane amounts of current. That likely makes having an "Over Current Protection" system, more difficult to design...

I wonder if the OCP on the ASUS mobo was just configured to allow the highest expected current draw from whatever the most power hungry CPU that fits the socket? It should adjust with the installed CPU I would think. As far as I know AMD is warrantying the CPU's and ASUS is warrantying the...

I was getting this a lot too. Probably sent in 20 crash reports. I was playing with Raytracing on, FSR disabled, along with the edits to the settings file I posted previously...

3070 came out nearly 3 years ago. The only cards sold with 8Gb now are 4060's. Those are low end, so 8Gb is appropriate because people that buy those want to spend the least possible. 4050's will probably come with 8Gb as well. 3070 is not a high end part. 3050 - very low end 3060 - low end...

That's a good experiment, but many games will "allocate" vram but not necessarily use it. I don't think that Afterburner shows actual use but shows allocated. Be cool if someone figures out how to measure vRam usage with accuracy. I play at 1440p as well. What $600 card? 3070 was $500. It...

What I am pointing out is that it is a midrange card. I'm not saying more vRam is bad. I had a 3090 with 24Gb for 2 years, and the most vRam usage I ever saw was 15Gb, one one rare occasion. Usually it was around 12Gb or less, that was with the most demanding game I had at the time, Cyberpunk...

The trolls in some other threads keep going on about how a 3070 is a "high end" card, but only has 8Gb, so Nvidia did it on purpose to get you to buy a newer card. It can't run games at 4k Ultra settings (or maybe even certain games at 1440p at Ultra setting), so the sky is falling (again) and...

I used an aliexpress cable for about 2 months, it looks fine. Then my Cablemod 90 arrived, and I installed that, and now it has about 2 months of use. It looks good as well, checked it this morning. I suspect in the above example, either the cablemod 90 was defective, or when it was inserted...

It will hurt performance, but it's only maybe 2%. Someone will do more tests running in the various pcie gens and compare performance. Likely 1% difference. "But what about 4k!!!" you say. Not a 4k card, expecting that would be stupidity.

Why the hell is Intel using the same security keys for all OEM's? They should all have their own keys so that when shit like this happens, only the breached companies' brand is affected.

The article was reading that core count from the AD103 full chip specs, not what would end up in a 4070. The 4070 would be a cut down chip, likely a way to salvage chips not good enough to be 4080's.

Which series (production week) is yours? 1500? 3400? 3700?

It's just that for months there were good deals on used 3xxx Nvidia, and AMD and Nvidia still have new old stock to move. Those cards prices now exactly fit those lower performance tiers, and they still have some. Ebay: Nvidia 3070: about $120 to $220 shipped Nvidia 3080: about $160 to $240...

They took 256Mb and compressed it to 3.8Mb. Of course there's going to be loss. You are missing the point. It looks pretty damn good, and looks better than any other compression while being smaller. That's a win. Now you are just talking out of your ass, about something you know nothing about.

When did [H] become a place where a console that renders at 720p or less and has to upscale to get to 1020p is somehow a better way to play games than on a PC at native 1440p or 2560p? If you can't afford the fastest GPU, that's fine. You buy what you can and overclock it. That's what [H] is...

Not sure that is exactly correct. DLSS uses specialized compute cores. AMD GPU's don't have them, they can't do DLSS. AMD's FSR is 'open source' (glowing Halo soft angel music plays)(and also probably free to use) because it's good marketing and because it wouldn't get much use otherwise...

Cyberpunk 2077 is Nvidia sponsored and it has AMD FSR.

So I've got a few days of gameplay in. Applied the setting changes in the GameUserSettings.ini as I detailed in a previous post. This game is pretty beautiful, and the worlds look great, with some amazing areas. The worlds are larger. The story so far has been quite good. The platforming is...

Should be able to install both drivers without issue.

This fix has worked amazingly well, getting over 60fps now. For a 4090 you can turn settings higher than in the post above, he has a 3080: Override AA in the Nvidia Control Panel, use game specific settings for Jedi Survivor and use these: Then edit the GameUserSettings.ini file in...

It's playing mostly fine for me with a 4090. I turned the FSR to OFF. Raytracing is On, settings on everything else were at Epic. I'm using adaptive sync so that makes it smooth as long as FPS doesn't drop below 30 (I believe that is slowest FPS for adaptive sync to work). There are times...

Yes. See the picture a few posts up. That's an Aureal card and uses all of the same drivers... so it's in the same boat. I will try it, but suspect I will have to use something newer.

Doesn't work in all games properly from what I have read. I have a bunch of the old Aureal drivers, going to try it in WinXP.

PCI, PCI-X, 33Mhz, 66Mhz

I ordered an asus m2n-lr off ebay, wasn't too much, has 2 pci-x slots that are 66Mhz. I have a v5 6000 pci on order from Zxclxiv. I have several older soundcards, I think I have a turtle beach Aureal vortex 2, that has a wavetable header for my Roland SCD-15 which I got around here someplace...

That one is 33mhz PCI slot too. It would be good for everything PCI except Voodoo5 cards (the single chip v5 might be ok). How much it hurts performance on a voodoo5 that is PCI (these can run at 66Mhz) I haven't been able to find. I was looking around for a pcie to pci converter that had...

They are different architectures, I get that. That doesn't mean game X cannot play equally well on PC vs Console. ANY game that can run on a console, can run as well or better on the PC. Obviously the game engines will have differences, and handle some tasks differently. Figuring that out is...

Maybe he just spews hate in all directions... he is not someone I would want to be around in real life and I refuse to watch his videos. So I will have to take your word for it.
