Hey monkeys I wanted to ask is it normal for gpu utilization to fluctuate a lot

#

Like 80-90s then random dips to 50

digital cliff
#

sure? without knowing anything else can't really say

#

why are you looking at gpu utilization

wheat yacht
digital cliff
#

more likely is that you don't really have an issue at all, it's just how the game runs, but if you want to go on a goose chase I'd start with memory and cpu

AMD already is doing advertising "buy now" campaigns for RX 9000 series.. completely forgetting they delayed the launch to March

analog sinew

this gpu launch is turning into a circus :D

#

5090 focuses more on DLSS, 5070 touted as 4090, and AMD making retailers mad by delaying the 9070 series by 2 months

the retailers do want dat 9800x3d tho

wild coyote

tbh, they should learn that delaying is most likely for a good reason

In classic rasterization, the RTX 5090 is, on average, 28% faster than the RTX 4090 and 72% faster than the RTX 4080 SUPER.

reef patrol

Not even 30%

vapid ruin
#

I mean, standard increase

#

but not going from 30fps to 60fps kind of way

reef patrol
#

I am personally not impressed. AI has become far too much of a crutch.

i am way way more interested in 5070(ti) than the 5090 tbh

can't wait to see what 5070ti will be

fair gull
rough patrol

correction: nobody i know irl will buy the 5090

marsh glade

I know a handful of people who will

#

They have more dollars than cents

reef patrol
#

Indeed. Some people just work more and have more money to spend - and don't mind spending it on their one hobby they can set aside a bit of time for.

analog sinew

standard is 40-50%, 30 to 40 was even bigger

vapid ruin
#

😭

analog sinew
#

(in a synthetic benchmark)

#

fps is probably less yes

fair gull
#

tbf the jump in 30 to 40 is prob due to the massive schrinkage in the fabrication size

Nice case of how placeholder prices are just that. In this case the € 499,- was a guess, as their CMS required a price to be set.

I'm guessing Switch 2 is 400

#

Not too different from the 1st model

fair gull
#

i mean it would be 100bucks more

cursive summit

Switch was 349 wasn't it

fair gull
#

nope

#

299

id have to check inflation if 400 is realistic

cursive summit

Ah it was OLED that was 349

#

Switch 2 is 400 honestly

fair gull

seems to check out as a general guess

#

why

distant tapir
#

Møney is here, time to buye my PC Pog

vapid ruin
fair gull
#

could be but id guesstimate to the 400 as well

#

especially cause oled switch 1 is still 300-350

5090 will be good for ML though, will be worth the price increase for the vram alone.

#

Professional cards, just worse price performance wise, or so I have heard, unless you go really big which a lot don't.

#

Man this is fucking sad lol

fair gull
#

ffxiv gain seems good

#

guess ill buy

ashen spindle
#

It won’t be good

#

The benchmark is quite bad for heavy load because you absolutely get cpu limited there

fair gull
#

ill take any single digit fps improvement during hunting trains

reef patrol
#

Preset for "way too many fooking players and spells"? 😄

fair gull
#

yes

#

well mainly players and mounts

ashen spindle
#

Literally a regression in xiv at lower resolution xD

#

Also trust me, you won’t see a single fps gain in hunt trains with a 5090 because my 9800x3d is still the bottleneck lol

fair gull
#

i havent gotten a new cpu yet

#

also cant imagine why it would regress on lower resolutions

ashen spindle
#

It happens in multiple games

#

It could be a driver overhead that causes downclocks

fair gull
#

i might still get a 5090 just for the 2 slot cooler

cedar fog
#

you should just get it

ashen spindle

are you sure you want this?

What 2 TB SSD would you guys recommend for my build? I see people complain about 990 Pro

hollow pine
ashen spindle
#

5090 fe yes thats the only card that people tested so far

vapid ruin
#

I figured out what the 32gb on 5090 is good for, to run local Video generation or Image diffusion model Flux on f16.

#

Flux is very good, but I haven't seen a good and popular anime tune on it, so it's still kinda useless to me.

ashen spindle
#

roman put it the best way in his thumbnail xD

distant tapir
#

I hope the FE for the other models aren't that bad

vagrant pagoda
#

It's a much bigger bump than 3090vsti

ashen spindle
#

and its less than half of the uplift the 4090 brought

reef patrol
#

Should call it the 5030. Cause you pay 30% more for 30% more performance and it uses 30% more power.

cedar fog
reef patrol
cedar fog
#

omfg

ashen spindle
#

obviously its not exactly a 4090ti but with how little gains there are for much more power its not too far off

#

hell fermi/thermi was a bigger uplift and that got people to make the bbq memes

cursive summit
#

But yeah that hallucination with transformer model looks horrid lol, and that'll be a major part of DLSS4

cedar fog
#

yeah they do but the transformer hallucinations

#

holy terrible

cursive summit
#

DLSS4 I've already knew will be horrid from their very first benchmark

cedar fog
#

yeah I watched the one interview

cursive summit
#

That cyberpunk demo had hallucinations and shimmering beyond belief, how tf are you meant to play and not get an epileptic fit?

cedar fog
#

The transformer model is not gonna be more performant either

#

it has a higher cost

#

for what is seemingly worse

ashen spindle
#

food is back on the menu boys, we're back in 2010

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

But yeah Nvidia 50 series is yet another disappointment

reef patrol
cedar fog
#

I need more reviews on the transformer model

vagrant pagoda
cedar fog
#

I gotta see it from someone who isn't a shill

cursive summit
#

The other parts in 50 stack will be like max 5% improvement upon last gen model which is fun

#

Nvidia is a cooler company, you've heard it here

ashen spindle
vapid ruin
cursive summit
#

Those 2 slot coolers are nutty

fair gull
#

a big one

ashen spindle
#

well they could have made a node jump for this too if that was the limit

fair gull
#

to 2nm?

vagrant pagoda
#

Coils aren't in the cooler and neither is fan control

ashen spindle
ashen spindle
vagrant pagoda
#

The fan stop not working at times has nothing to do with the fans

#

That's all in the software

fair gull
ashen spindle
#

well then they could have gone to 3

vagrant pagoda
#

Or Blackwell was all for ai, and Nvidia is trying to squeeze gaming performance out of it by brute force

cursive summit
#

Damn I need to watch 30 minutes worth of benchmarks to get to the part I actually care about

I'm honestly more in the boat that that it's a 4090 ti and they're selling ai shit

so maybe in 2 or 3 years we see 3nm nvidia gpus 60series

cursive summit
#

The GPU hotspot is pretty okay

#

But memory chips are really hot

fair gull
#

and they gain another 50% or more over 50series

thick elk
#

cheaper is especially true when it comes to very large dies.

cursive summit
#

Fans are only at 1600 RPM, surely you can run them at 2000 RPM right?

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

5090 otherwise seems actually pretty damn well designed for a 2 slot card

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

Yes but I'd defo put that higher cause 90 on memory is a bit high

#

For what I'd look out for

vagrant pagoda
#

Might be, might not be

cursive summit
#

70ish on die is pretty good though on load

fair gull
ashen spindle
#

havent gotten around to watch what other reviews said about it

vagrant pagoda
#

I doubt anyone got more than one

gusty kiln
#

How is the 5080 going to perform? It's literally half a 5090

cursive summit
#

Damn the anechoic chamber testing is also pretty good, why is the stock curve so low?

#

They could easily run the fans several hundred RPM more and manage thermals better

vagrant pagoda
#

How is that even a question fam

cursive summit
#

From what I'm hearing in the anechoic chamber testing, it doesn't even sound loud or bad

fair gull
#

couldnt hear anything in GNs review about it

cursive summit
#

They can defo run faster fans

ashen spindle
#

fan curve is down because why run louder if its fine?

cursive summit
#

90 memory does not sound fine to me for longevity

ashen spindle
#

based on what

vagrant pagoda
#

How do you know?

#

You ran gddr7 before?

ashen spindle
#

are you a material engineer or is this the lana case of 90 sounds close to 100 where water evaporates dogekek

vagrant pagoda

I have 10+ year old GPUs that think 90 on the memory is cool

They get 90+ on the entire backplate

cedar fog

true

vagrant pagoda
cedar fog
#

the clarity has improved by a lot

vagrant pagoda
#

You have no idea where the probe is and what is a good reading

#

Less is good, but 90 might also not be bad

gusty kiln
#

Nand flash runs fine at 90, could be the same

vagrant pagoda
#

4 gb of vram in 2008 was also bleeding edge so it wasn't some legacy deal

thick elk
#

also not all temperature sensors are equal at measuring hotspot temperatures, this is also part why you may see higher temperatures sometimes, especially compared to old hardware.

astral haven
cursive summit
#

90 is not something I'd be happy with

#

Yes it's 6X, and no I don't believe 7 is suddenly has 10 degrees higher tolerances

ashen spindle
#

6x is a custom sku and not even following default specs

#

and 90c is not 95

cursive summit
#

Still way too close for my comfort for card longevity

#

80 is max I'd run that card at

ashen spindle
#

no you dont understand 95c means its made to run at 95c for the thousands of hours its rated for

astral haven
gusty kiln
#

So when someone going to do AI benchmarks for the 5090. Coz obviously that's the real improvements

cursive summit
#

90 something memory is high

ashen spindle
#

its not though

#

vrm capacitors are rated for like 10-20 years at 85c which means continous 10 years of 85c at minimum

cursive summit
#

That's completely unrelated though

ashen spindle
#

no its hardware thats in constant use and has high endurance

astral haven
#

Memory is just an array of capacitors and transistors in a chip

ashen spindle
#

why would a memory chip rated at 95c have more issues at 90c

#

and it was rated to 110c by nvidia

#

later revisions even seem to be rated for 120c

vapid ruin
#

hot

ashen spindle
#

also the 95C you have on the micron spreadsheet is NOT Tjunction that hwinfo would show you but its on top of the thing

#

so even the micron basic specsheet says 95C on the outside is fine so the other sensors at a hotspot being below that is even further away from the limit

gusty kiln
#

So. The rest of the 5000 perf doesn't seem too promising now. It was already speculated to be meh before.

ashen spindle
#

I swear next time I meet an AMD rep I will harass them until they forward the feedback of please just make high end cards lmao

#

Surely 5070 is better Cluegi

cursive summit

cursive summit
#

Why is this funny

#

Intel just sipping insane idle power

vagrant pagoda
#

And they literally run 90c the entire pcb

#

Memory, vrm, everything

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

With how little Nvidia is doing though, UDNA can easily come on top in performance over 5090 though

#

The thermals would be quite nuts though

vagrant pagoda
#

So keep saying they 90c is bad intermittently

distant tapir
#

So... Is PCIE 5.0 important for the card or is 4.0 basically the same?

astral haven
#

5090 itself actually seems pretty sweet if you forget price and efficiency, but it seemingly going all out on performance is a real bad sign for the lower skus

cursive summit
astral haven
ashen spindle

You don't really get much benefit from PCIe upgrades, never did

so far my impressions of dlss transformer mode is that it's like dlss cnn quality is like dlss transformer performance

#

but better clarity for text as well

ashen spindle

the transformer mode also uses a ton more vram it seems so get fucked on lower cards that dont have enough lol

It's faster than what I'd expect from a Ti, but it's kinda a double Ti

So at best it's going to be like 5-10% over the 4080s

4090 is 15% faster at 1080 and 35% at 4k vs 4080s. 4090 has 50% more cores

Given the 5090 has 25% more cores and is 25% faster at 4k

ok so ive got a 4070 ti super end of last year as a gift and still rocking my i7-12700k from the old rig/gpu, i play 1080p mostly

i get around 200-220fps in rebirth island on cod, would a new cpu give me more frames? is my gpu now too strong for the cpu?

i did notice that the gpu never goes above 80% in 1080p but cpu is basically maxing

#

could it be possible that my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu now?

astral haven
#

yes

#

double check your ram, you might be able to enable xmp and get some more fps

oblique solstice
#

xmp is on, ram is good i think

#

its running on its listed transfer rate

#

so, lets say, if i get an i9 or ryzen 7/9 newer gen id get more frames on 1080p?

astral haven
oblique solstice
#

well the gpu is not the culprit at my res id think, its more the cpu no?

#

its never at 99% and my monitor is 240hz

#

so ideally id like over 240fps in all cases

astral haven
oblique solstice

hm depends on what else?

i was thinking going to 7800x3d or 13/14900k

astral haven

game, settings, ram, sync

astral haven
oblique solstice

oh, were talking only CoD, lowest settings possible for max frames

i need a new mobo then for ryzen or intel regardless :/

and new ram too probably... ddr5 instead of 4

which is a pain

steady sail

Nah atm warzone has issues with performance

apparently steam users are suffering performance issues, i use steam, but i dont notice any issues

#

just lower fps than battlenet which is super weird lol, they say the steam overlay is killing fps somehow

i mean dont get me wrong 200-220 fps is great but i can easily pull 300+ maybe with a better cpu

apparently turning off voice chat in game gives u 40 frames

no clue tbh but its a scummy move

steady sail
#

I mean just disable steam ui and gain fps

oblique solstice

how do u disable it completely?

#

like just kill it

steady sail
#

Somewhere in settings i think

ashen spindle
#

nah its just a skill issue they actually do a API call to your steam list if you are online and logged in every single frame

#

to updated your friendslist, which is fine like every minute or so

wheat plume
#

I turn off the steam overlay for every game.

oblique solstice
#

ok ill give that a go

ashen spindle
#

its not the overlay its your steam friendslist

#

so try going to offline

oblique solstice
#

but if u go offline u cant play mp then right?

ashen spindle
#

no clue should be fine to set steam offline?

#

dont have the game just saw the code where its called each frame lmfao

oblique solstice
#

ill give it a go, im still doing testing with my rig and different tweaks to see how wz and rebirth would run, this is CoD only

#

thats why i asked in the 1st place originally, i saw a guy pulling 300fps on 1080p with the SAME rig as mine, but i only get 220

#

so i did some brainstorming, must be battlenet vs steam... cuz steam is horrendeous

steady sail
#

most of the time steam is good enough

gentle osprey

my guess before official benchmarks released was around 25-35%+

in terms of raw perf

That is beside the point, it still makes money, no need to move the goalpost

like I dont think you understand how much top 10 playercount on steam is when its also on gamepass and battle net

#

half a million active players at once doesnt sell well???

#

thats more than a million people owning the game

Also the pro scene basically only plays on pc

#

So does every try hard out there

#

Where?

#

The steam peak was 500k

#

Consider they also have gamepass

vivid vine
#

That is adding in mutiple COD titles tho you do realize that?

#

And a lot of people use gamepass

#

You are further proving my point

As of February 2024, Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass had 34 million paying subscribers, including those on PC

As of June 2024, the Xbox Series X and Series S have sold 28.3 million units

#

5.7 million on pc

#

At least

#

Is the gamepass userbase

vivid vine
#

dogekek even more far fetched

#

I also assumed every single console player was using gamepass

#

Which they clearly don't all do

Amazing, wonder when MS stops that and forces the gamepass combo sub

#

like a peak of 500k players easily means at that point 10+million people had the game

#

Its currently 2025, that means they sold about 100K a year for every game
