[fading glacier]

could be as well

[hasty sphinx]

Odd. I have latest discord I believe since auto update. I tried the Nvidia profile thingy and I didn't see a difference in afterburner.

This is with a 3080 12gb

[heady turtle]

Does riva tuner show effective clocks tho or normal clocks?

It only shows on effective iirc

[hasty sphinx]

From what I read a couple days ago, it was able to be seen in afterburner ui.

At least that's how they noticed.

[heady turtle]

Was that with effective clocks or normal enabled?

[hasty sphinx]

Idk. I didn't know you could change which clocks afterburner was showing..

Not rtss

[heady turtle]

What rtss riva tuner?

[hasty sphinx]

Riva Tuner Statistics Server. It's what afterburner uses for the OSD.

[fading glacier]

i just checked on gpuz sensors tab on the second monitor

maybe you could try that as well

[hasty sphinx]

Yeah I was reading the reddit post and it says to look in hwinfo for effective clocks, but it also says that instant clocks are affected too.

[fading glacier]

200mhz is way too much

[hasty sphinx]

So what exactly is causing discord to reduce the clocks? Just bad coding?

[fading glacier]

maybe the av1 update? who knows?

[hasty sphinx]

Not me that's for sure.

[fading glacier]

i mean, you dont see it, but that doesnt mean that is not there

not like we run 2 different version of discord

[hasty sphinx]

[heady turtle]

I meant is rtss riva tuner like

[hasty sphinx]

I don't think I understand this question.

rtss IS Riva tuner

[odd siren]

But is it rtss

[hasty sphinx]

Unless you mean.. what is it like? Then I'm not sure what you mean by that either lol

[heady turtle]

That's what i was asking I wasn't sure of the acronym

[odd siren]

https://tenor.com/view/phoenix-wright-document-ace-attorney-aa-phoenix-phoenixpaper-gif-11734647

Is it like rtss

[hasty sphinx]

I totally just woke up from an office chair nap. I can't handle this.

[odd siren]

Its. Not. A hard. Question. Sir.

https://tenor.com/view/interrogation-interrogation-tactics-gif-13098581

IS IT RTSS!?

[hasty sphinx]

Hm. Nope

I had to wrap muh groggy brain around that. It's the end of my work week. Leave me alone.

[livid idol]

Full name is Riva Tuner Statistics Server

[heady turtle]

Yes ik i just arcynom was not clicking I didn't sleep well

[hasty sphinx]

We take nap together? Not sus. We just sleep buddies

[heady turtle]

Sounds good

Nein

[livid idol]

Nine hours?

Or nein hours?

[heady turtle]

Nein as in not full 8 hours

More like 6

[tiny kindle]

Is my GeForce RTX 2060 6gb compatible with my GIGABYTE B660M AORUS PRO AX DDR4 and my i5 13600kf?

[keen nacelle]

Yes

[vital oriole]

bypassing the chat i see

but idk, if newegg isn't in service hours they won't provide any support

it's normal

the discord account isn't real time service

it's simply an account used between newegg support staff

lol

[feral axle]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a gpu that is an upgrade to a 2070 S?

[livid idol]

What budget?

[feral axle]

at most 1k but ive been looking at the 6950 xt at 700

I originally only paid 500 for my card so everything now just feels kinda like a rip off in comparison

[livid idol]

What resolution are you planning on gaming at and what power supply do you have?

[feral axle]

1440p at 144hz and maybe 4k 60 occasionally

[livid idol]

6950 would do that quite comfortably

But you'll want an A tier 750W power supply minimum, 850W if you have a high power cpu

[feral axle]

i got a 850 platnium asus one that was on sale

also debating getting the 7900 xtx

[livid idol]

It'll be a Thor or Loki then, nice unit

XTX is a waste for anything less than 4k 120hz

Same with the 4080

[feral axle]

then 6950 is probably my best bet with the 7900 xt being kind of a joke

[livid idol]

Pretty much yeah

[feral axle]

id like rtx but honestly its something i notice for like 5 minutes and forget

[livid idol]

Same. RT has potential to be great but it'll be a long time before then.

And by that point current hardware will be useless for it anyway

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6950-xt-rx6950xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930073

OCF is one of the best models

[lone pond]

Taking this here since this is the proper channel

The bottom vbios is technically the one meant for my card

But should I try/would it be okay to try the top one?

[lone pond]

Nvm the top one doesn't install

[livid idol]

Wrong memory type

If that's accurate then you have Samsung memory but the one you asked about only has Hynix and Elpida support

[lone pond]

Right

How would I force the bottom one to overwrite the already installed one

When I try to flash it it just says its already installs

[livid idol]

I haven't used atiwinflash much so I don't remember the commands

[lone pond]

I figured it out 👍

do I need this enabled?

[livid idol]

Need, no. But it doesn't hurt anything.

It's required for resizable BAR but the RX 570 doesn't work with that anyway.

[livid idol]

@lone pond You can try this bios, it allows a higher power limit and has a higher default clock speed while still using the Samsung memory. It's harder than I thought to find Samsung 4GB cards. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/221873/221873

[lone pond]

hmm

setting this gives me input not supported on my monitor but not my tv for some reason

[lone pond]

is this safe to do?

[livid idol]

There's some minor risk involved, as there is with any flashing. If it doesn't work you just flash the old version back.

[lone pond]

alright

[fading glacier]

messing with vbios is always risky, you need to ask yourself if its worth the risk

just as with any flashing as falcie said 😛 (wasnt paying attention)

[lone pond]

I keep getting SSID mismatch error

and its not letting me (or admittedly I just dont know how) to change it

[oak rivet]

need to bypass it

ik how to do it with nvflash might be different for amd gpus

[lone pond]

ROM ssid not found

ERROR: 0FL05

When trying to change the rom on the cards ssid to something else

🤔

[quartz gull]

These coolers are serious overbuilt

455 watts and 70C on the lowest end zotac 4090? Like holy hecc

[heady turtle]

https://youtu.be/b-6sHUNBxVg

[lone pond]

I forgot my card is one with the bios switch

it has two of them

idk how that'd effect things or what that would do

I know one is sometimes for silent/perf but then why two

[odd siren]

A750...compelling

[heady turtle]

Mayhaps

[oak rivet]

Did they fix the dead space issue

How can you be soo trash in a title like that

[oak rivet]

Soo little data for such a long video

Wasted all time on the frame time thing bruh the sample size has to be bigger

[heady turtle]

Frame times was a HUGE problem with arc previously

[vital oriole]

^

especially with rebar off

[exotic tulip]

What’s the equivalent of an rx6600

Like as an nvidia card

[fading glacier]

a 2060/2070 kinda

no no, 2060/2060s

[exotic tulip]

Ok

ty

[fading glacier]

2070 is way too much

[exotic tulip]

What would be the equivalent of a 3060 as amd

Tysm btw

[fading glacier]

the xt variant

[exotic tulip]

?

[fading glacier]

6600xt is between the 3060 and 60ti

[exotic tulip]

but I thought the 6600 is 2060

[fading glacier]

two different cards: 6600 and 6600xt

[exotic tulip]

ohhhhhhhhh

Makes sense

alright thanks so much

This discord really helps out

[fading glacier]

👍

[heady turtle]

what ravel said + the 6650xt is a lil bit better again

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/903768190717411339/981666325866885180/unknown.png

[solemn panther]

Mm

It feels good to see my 3080ti way up there

[livid idol]

Yup. No regrets buying that myself.

Literally the only card I could get at msrp mid-shortage.

[fading glacier]

good times

[fading glacier]

my poor 750ti didnt made it into the chart

[solemn panther]

someday youll have a better gpu than the 3080ti

tech progress never stops

[livid idol]

GTX 700 is completely removed from the new edition of the chart too lol

[heady turtle]

3060 ti FE 😎

[livid idol]

Those things STILL can barely be found at msrp

[fading glacier]

new edition of the chart

i like how that sounds

[livid idol]

The pin is updated if you want to take a look

[fading glacier]

sad

no maxwell on the chart

btw the arc row is empty

and ill forward my complaints to demon

need maxwell there >.<

[royal fox]

What do you guys think of the Intel Arc? Anyone used it yet?

[cyan vault]

Playing the new Dead Space and this showed up

But I have the drivers for it 🤔

[fading glacier]

weird indeed

well, reinstall drivers as they said

[livid idol]

It's getting better, A750 is starting to become a serious competitor to the 6600, especially after the price cut and recent driver improvements.
It's still not perfect but Intel is improving at a decent pace. Older games might still have problems but at least most of the game breaking bugs are fixed. One persistent issue is with lighting, multiple games get really weird bloom but you can fix it by adjusting the lighting settings down in game.

[royal fox]

What would it be equivalent to like an Nvidia ___?

[livid idol]

3060

[royal fox]

Oops

Dang

Appreciate you G

[odd siren]

Give it a couple more driver updates and tbh the A750 would be worth recommending

There's just a lot of teething issues rn

[royal fox]

Besides lighting?

[odd siren]

Performance wise we can say it's competitive

Nah the software control

[royal fox]

Ahh okay

[odd siren]

Arc control and graphics command are just pepega still

[livid idol]

The lighting issue will be one of the driver fixes coming. It's not game breaking so it's a moderate priority bug, they're focused on fixing specific games right now.

[odd siren]

To say it's at parity with a 3060 or 6600/XT is good, it's a pretty confident estimate now

A770 probably won't be worth buying for a long time yet

[livid idol]

Nah A770 is barely better than A750

[wraith pasture]

a750 is good now?

[odd siren]

It's...worthy

But still software bugs

[livid idol]

"Good" as in it's not completely broken and compares well to the 6600 in most (modern) games

It would be a good time for someone curious to try it out I think

They're really cheap after all, with the price drop

[lone pond]

Do I need to reinstall the drivers for Adrenaline if I switched from dedicated to integrated and they use the same driver version? 🤔

[livid idol]

No

But you can run DDU if you have issues, which are unlikely

[lone pond]

alright good to know

[oak rivet]

isnt that seriously game breaking that you have to turn down something with one gpu just to make it playable and not with the other two?

that sounds like coping with a bad gpu

[stone topaz]

Hey guys, quick question. What’s the difference between the ASRock and MSI 6950XT?

[odd siren]

not much

[stone topaz]

Mostly just thermal and fan noise?

[odd siren]

yeah?

I mean unless we are talking oc formula

that gpu is by far the best

[livid idol]

No, there's a difference between breaking the game and breaking a feature. Game breaking means you literally can't play it.

[oak rivet]

You have to turn an setting down to play it on arc but you don't have to do that with a 3060 or 6600xt let's say fps is not in the equation only looks of the game are then in that regard 3060 or 6600xt still wins

It's a downside and not a good look for Arc

[livid idol]

"It's not a good look" sure, I never said it was fixed. Just "better".

I'm not recommending most people buy one, just the adventurous

[oak rivet]

250$ still can be a decent chunk for a lot of people and they deserve something a bit more stable and better that's all I am saying

A 3060 is a 3060 in pretty much every game but the performance of a arc card tier wise to other two brands seem to vary wildly

Think they recently made the update of choosing between the arc control being a overlay or not which is good

[livid idol]

They're changing it back to a standalone app

These are all expected teething issues for Intel

[odd siren]

intel is doing extremely well imo for no where near the same amount of time the other two have had in this field

[vital oriole]

^

They have been rapidly ironing out issues month after month

[oak rivet]

They fix the vr issues?

[livid idol]

yes

[vital oriole]

DX9 titles have seen jump of up to 46%

That's not really important these days but it's a good sign

[livid idol]

R6S got like 80% bump since launch

[vital oriole]

I don't see why Intel would also give up on arc soon too

It's basically a byproduct of their HPC gpus

even tho it couldn't catch up to nvidia

[odd siren]

their legacy improvements have honestly been amazing

[livid idol]

It's down to how much money the CEO is willing to burn

[odd siren]

the a770 is slowly looking more and more like a 3060ti/6700xt

[livid idol]

In some titles yeah

[vital oriole]

I wanna see the day it consistently performs like 3070

Like raja has always claimed

[odd siren]

it's a ways off a 3070

[vital oriole]

30x of broadwell-c

[odd siren]

but in synthetics it kinda hits that

[oak rivet]

Hardware wise it should be a 6800?

[vital oriole]

No

It couldn't

[livid idol]

Too bad too because I personally talked to one of the engineers and 3070 was their performance target

[vital oriole]

Absolute best is probably more like 3060ti in real gaming scenarios

Still not too shabby for what it is

[odd siren]

hey when life gives you lemons drop the price a lil'

[oak rivet]

And that's at 1440p where it loses lower amount of fps compared to 3060

[odd siren]

I mean a 3060Ti can pass for a 1440p card

[vital oriole]

not as much vram as a770 tho

[livid idol]

Exactly, make it as cheap as you can and sell at cost, the R&D will eventually pay for itself

[vital oriole]

16 gigs

it has double the amount

8 is tight at 1440p

[livid idol]

Esp 1440p high/ultra

I hit 11GB sometimes

[odd siren]

I mean, it's not really a high/ultra card tho

would call it more entry 1440p

[oak rivet]

At 1440p

I would say its a 1080p ultra card if it performs like a 3060 in every game

[livid idol]

Maybe not AAA titles

[odd siren]

in a lot of cases better now

[oak rivet]

Problem is performing like a 3060 in every game possible

[odd siren]

also the 3060ti has 8gb I don't see the vram point

[oak rivet]

Also people with 3060ti tier gpus I hope they bring some 3090 level perf gpus for 500$ to upgrade to

[odd siren]

doubt

[vital oriole]

lol

nah

[odd siren]

ada has scaled linearly by price

[vital oriole]

just look at 4070ti

[odd siren]

you want 3090 perf? it'll be a $700 4070 Super

[vital oriole]

that's the only hope you will get of having 3090 perf

[livid idol]

Not til 60/9000 cards

[vital oriole]

or a super card ya

no way it's gonna be $500

[odd siren]

or go to 4K and just experience 3090 perf on a 4070ti

[vital oriole]

500 is definitely price tag of 4060ti

im saying it here

[livid idol]

Probably

[vital oriole]

399 ain't happening

[livid idol]

We still don't even have a 4070 yet

[odd siren]

$500 will be more like 3080 10gb perf

[vital oriole]

$600 for 4070

price is linear with perf

[odd siren]

$600 3080 12gb

[livid idol]

4070 with 3070 ti perf

[oak rivet]

💀

[odd siren]

wouldn't surprise me at this point

[vital oriole]

gotta love the "progression"

thanks amd for being the part of this bad pricing

7900xt will always be an upsell

[odd siren]

7800XT gonna be a 4070ti but a little less probs

[livid idol]

They only had to be cheaper than the competition, they're making a healthy margin

[vital oriole]

ye lol

dem margins

[odd siren]

honestly rdna 3 been good tho

very stable

[vital oriole]

it has been good as an architecture, but pricing is just

[odd siren]

save for windows start menu bugging out

[vital oriole]

pain

[livid idol]

Nvidia with their massive die have much higher costs than AMD with big/little die

[vital oriole]

gpus this gen are great

just not the price

[oak rivet]

Think some people are still complaining about idle power

[vital oriole]

it's fixed

also lemme just reiterate

if you're already spending lots on a gpu

[odd siren]

yeah

[vital oriole]

you wouldn't worry about electricity bills at all

[odd siren]

you won't care about power

yeah lol

look at all the 3090 users 💀

[vital oriole]

someone with 12400 or something wouldn't be able to afford top tier gpus

cause it probably costs more than their whole pc budget

unless they find banger deal on used one but that's a different case

[livid idol]

Hey 12400+6950XT has been a killer combo lately

[vital oriole]

yeah cause the price is killer

[livid idol]

Right up until 13th gen

[vital oriole]

only 600-700

that's easily doable in a not very high budget pc

something like 1.2k

[oak rivet]

12400 and 6800xt probably the most recommended build list I see in every server

[livid idol]

6800 XT isn't as good of a deal comparatively

But still not bad on the new market

[vital oriole]

6950xt used to go as low as 600 bucks

crazy times

[odd siren]

6950 for 700 vs 6800xt for 609

would def do 6950

[oak rivet]

I saw a 6800xt for below 600 a few days back

[odd siren]

which one

[odd siren]

that would be worth it

[livid idol]

Gaming Z nice model

[vital oriole]

i wonder if ventus is also a thing with radeon cards

[odd siren]

nope

[livid idol]

Same class as mech

[vital oriole]

granted all 6000 series uses gddr6, so even ventus would be fine

hm, so mech i guess

[odd siren]

gaming/gamingx/gaming z for radeon

[vital oriole]

same thing just diff name

[odd siren]

msi shills nvidia

[vital oriole]

shills nvidia
makes the absolute worst nvidia aib card in the name of armor and ventus

[odd siren]

mech also takes that trophy

I mean

[vital oriole]

it's just funny to think about it

[odd siren]

[vital oriole]

msi also told people to get 4070ti instead cause 4080 pricing sucked

[odd siren]

good guy msi'

[vital oriole]

whatever they can do to sell the gpus i guess

[odd siren]

they right tho

[oak rivet]

Perf per dollar 4070ti does win

[vital oriole]

ye

just seems like an upsell

[livid idol]

Barely a win but a win all the same

[vital oriole]

it's a fact but still suspicious coming from a company

they just wanna sell some stuff behind the facts

which is fair

they're not a charity

[oak rivet]

4070ti also better value then 7900xt imo

[livid idol]

If you consider extra features to have value too sure

[oak rivet]

You turn frame gen on and you are comparing different class of products

[vital oriole]

i consider superior driver support as a feature, but i still won't like 4070ti

[livid idol]

I really notice the AI frames personally

[vital oriole]

i only admire it having great perf

but other than that, the price is downright depressing

3080ti to 3090 perf for 800 is kinda ouch

i wouldn't complain if i have money for such pc ofc

[ancient crystal]

Anyone have a good article about the new Intel Arc drivers?

I was looking at the A750

But all the older articles were based on older driver's

Drivers

[vital oriole]

gamers nexus has one on a770

[livid idol]

https://youtu.be/b-6sHUNBxVg

[ancient crystal]

Thanks

I needed this exact thing!

[solid glacier]

Bad news I got the performance issues gain

I was gaming for 2 hours it was fine played 3 games with discord in a call and started having problems . Lol my temps are fine though

My gpu@power draw though drops a lot

From 264 to 127 lol

[livid idol]

What gpu did you have again?

[solid glacier]

6900xt

[livid idol]

Disabled hardware accel in discord?

[solid glacier]

mhm

[solid glacier]

dont mind the 11W i was hovering over the smallest one before gaming

[solid glacier]

valorant

[fading glacier]

why the fans are so fast when your clock is so low? maybe its an amd thing but im curious nonetheless

i mean, all of the readings are on the low side

except fan speed

[solid glacier]

That’s bc I alt tabbed for the clock

So I fixed the ossues

Whenever I have discord open and game discord causes me to get poor performance

[fading glacier]

still 70% fan speed at 35c is kinda... not needed

the more time your fans are spinning the more dust build up will land on your heatsink

but then again, that could be an amd feature as well...

my fans kick in if the gpu pass 60c... below that they are off

[solid glacier]

oh yea

i got a 6900xt what nvidia card is in similar performance or better that i can get.

[keen nacelle]

4070ti/3090+

3080/ti/12gb are closish

[fading glacier]

[solid glacier]

okay so uh

randomly my gpu temps are not fine..?

my gotspot reach 100c and my normal hitting 78

My room is pretty dang hot though

Bc I have the heat on

[fading glacier]

Cheesus

[solid glacier]

yea.. wth

My room is pretty hot though woukd that effect it?

so hotspot is 92 regular tewmp is 72

[solid glacier]

^ Should i buy more fans i only have 4 3 tower fans and 1 rear exhaust this isnt inlcuding my cpu or gpu fans

[fading glacier]

i dont think more fans will help tho

that seems poor contact with the heatsink or just normal temps on amd... you need to wait for someone more knowledgeable on amd cards

[solid glacier]

alright ty

[odd siren]

@solid glacier can you send us a video of the issues happening on screen please

I feel like at this point it's the blind leading the blind and we will repeat this loop yet again

[solid glacier]

i figured out the problem i think. so my room was pretty dang hot so my temps increased on my gpu

[fading glacier]

dang hot like 50c room temperature?

[blazing geyser]

from what i remember is AMD CPU and GPUs run hotter

[livid idol]

It depends

[solid glacier]

nah its like 75f in my room somtimes maybe lower

but yea idk if my temps are fine or not

[solid glacier]

i mean I RMAed it idk if they took it apart if they did im gonna flip

[solid glacier]

what do u think about my temps?

[lone pond]

Getting very interested in low profile 75w- gpus but how does those fair over APUS?

As far as $/Perf

Neeeeevermind, thought apu's were farther along

[lone pond]

which of these is best 75w's lps is best

[livid idol]

Mid 90s hotspot will cause a little bit of throttling

[lone pond]

6400?

[livid idol]

RX 6400? That performs like a 1060 3gb on a good day

Usually more like a 1650

[lone pond]

yeah

in terms of the ones that are low profile and only daw power from the pcie slot

I know theres the A2000 but its hella expensive

[livid idol]

Right, you might as well get a LP 1650

[solid glacier]

hows that video i sent just above? thats a new one, how do i stop the hotspot from getting hot? more fans? i only have 1 exhaust which is in my rear of my pc

[livid idol]

Zip tie a 120mm fan to your GPU

[vital oriole]

or adjust fan profile

[lone pond]

For double? 🤔

[vital oriole]

running stock fan profile is usually not optimal

[lone pond]

6400 is 130 1650 is 210 - 230

[solid glacier]

gpu fans or tower fans

[vital oriole]

gpu

[livid idol]

Well there's your problem, you have it maxed at 65% fan

[vital oriole]

^

fan speed is far too low

[solid glacier]

really?

oop xD

what should it be

85?

[livid idol]

80-85 if your room is warm yeah

[solid glacier]

which ones should be 80 85? that last 2

[livid idol]

Yes

[vital oriole]

i hope that solves the stutters too

gpu throttling mildly can impact perf

[livid idol]

Could probably do 75 and 85 on the last two so it's not ramping up as fast

[solid glacier]

boom

tbh for the amount of money i spent on the pc i dont game as much..xD prolly gonna get into singleplayer games, thinking about getting hitman

[livid idol]

Don't look at pcpartpicker for 3 generation old GPUs, they're really going for about the same price as the 6400, $140 on ebay.

So yeah just get the new 6400 so you get the warranty

[lone pond]

Alright thank you!

[solid glacier]

this look good?

[livid idol]

I've been doing a lot of that lately myself. I'm getting back into some of my old favorite genres, a bit of emulation too.

Yeah looks right

Multiplayer games suck for me right now because my ISP is t-mobile and we're having tower issues. My phone will disconnect mid-call. Downloads get reset due to loss of connection.

[solid glacier]

yea i feel ya on that i dealt with bad internet issues for like 4 years it sucked

[livid idol]

It's been great for the most part up until this Winter. I think a storm damaged the tower.

We did get the first hurricane in California's recorded history after all

[solid glacier]

oh yea for sure

[lone pond]

Can anyone recommend me a good GPU that's less than $500 & will go well with my 12600kf.

Playing several different military/shooter fps games like Modern Warfare, Battlefield, & some COD. Also may be playing games such Minecraft, Eve Online, Predator: Hunting Grounds, & etc.

Looking for 1080 FHD, 60 to even 120 fps. Will be using Blender too.

[vital oriole]

you can go for 3060ti or 6750xt just fine

6800xt doable for below 500, maybe

[lone pond]

Ah, most people are recommending me RX 6700 or 6750 XT

[odd siren]

Blender sucks on RDNA 2. Used 3060 Ti/2080 Super

[vital oriole]

i didn't look at the blender part, oop

[odd siren]

It's one of Nvidia's final strongholds

Blender & RT

Idk why the devs of the software don't just try to make AMD cards work at this point, no reason for it now

Hell if you wanted to be a little unhinged, an A750 would absolutely destroy blender

Of all things Arc has a strong argument in this scenario

Not a complete argument for it tho, nvidia still kinda dominates this one specific application

[random walrus]

I'd guess most of the money is commercial users with Nvidia workstation cards, and from there it's relatively easy to get rtx cards to work well

[heady turtle]

This gen nv only really has RT crown in RTX portal (laughable game) and the 4090/with dlss tbh

[odd siren]

blender is an nvidia strength

it is one of the few ones left productivity wise rn

stuff like cad and video production amd are very much at parity with now

[fading glacier]

[teal cairn]

Hey I have a quick question. My pc has low cpu and gpu usage but still is getting great fps but should be higher compared to other peoples tests. Any thoughts?

[fading glacier]

more context plz, resolution and game?

also gpu

[teal cairn]

3060 ti, and nearly every game. 1080p

[fading glacier]

nearly every game... there are like a chillion games out there.... which games do you play on your system?

some games are so easy on the gpu, some on the gpu and cpu, and some pound more one or the other

[teal cairn]

Valorant, Spider-Man remastered, Apex legends, Rust, CSGO, Horizon Zero Dawn To name a few. It’s consistent across all games no matter more gpu or cpu focused. Won’t get above 50% and gpu doesn’t get hotter than 50c which seems like a miracle but idk.

[fading glacier]

never oc or undervoletd your card?

[teal cairn]

It’s oc

[fading glacier]

3060ti handles 1080p like a walk in the park, if you have great frames at the settings you play i shouldn't worry that much, even less if you have great temps too

most of those games you mention it should be above 100fps at max setting

[teal cairn]

Spider-Man remastered and horizon zero dawn are probably the most demanding games but are struggling to get 60+ fps no matter at high or low settings… it’s so odd

[normal hawk]

what resolution?

oh 1080p

What CPU do you have?

[teal cairn]

13600k

[normal hawk]

do you have dual channel or single channel ram

I'd make sure that you have vsync turned off and that your monitor in Nvidia control panel and the windows display settings is set to the correct frame rate.

[teal cairn]

Dual, vsync is off, frame rate is correct

[fading glacier]

still a 3060ti+13600k are having a day in the park at 1080p

none is bottlenecking the other

[teal cairn]

yeah

[fading glacier]

as long as you are getting good fps then i wouldn't worry about 100% utilization anyway

still you should be above 100 on spiderman

[teal cairn]

getting like 50-60 in spiderman remastered on High

yeah

[fading glacier]

thats odd indeed

[teal cairn]

On easier games like valorant and csgo i get around 300 which isnt something to complain but it should be able to be so much higher

[normal hawk]

Are your windows power settings set to performance?

[fading glacier]

same thing for zero dawn, that one should be above 100fps as well....

[teal cairn]

Ultimate

[teal cairn]

Yeah

[normal hawk]

very weird

[fading glacier]

can you share a screenshot of your overlay while playing those games? o.O

or your sensor tab on gpuz while running those

[teal cairn]

Yes 1 min

@fading glacier

psu problem?

[fading glacier]

no

if psu were the problem the whole pc just shut down

[teal cairn]

i had some crashes aswell when i boot on high settings but if i launch on low and tweak in game it works idk y

lmk what u think

[fading glacier]

kinda weird, everything seems ok, clocks, power draw even the perfomance cap

but why spidey and dawn is struggling at 60fps is beyond me

[teal cairn]

sometimes i launch also and get like 50-60 fps and other times its like 100 until a cutscene and then its 50-60 again

[fading glacier]

ohhhhhh ok

could be that somehow you have an fps limit

[teal cairn]

inconsistent

[fading glacier]

somewhere

[teal cairn]

yeah but its in every game

and in games like rust or cs its just like a 10% performance loss

[fading glacier]

you said that other games are 100+ and some even 300+

[teal cairn]

compared to other people tests

yeah

Idk how it could be a cap

[fading glacier]

well other people test could be with overclocked cards

[teal cairn]

mine is oc tho

[fading glacier]

you oced?

or factory oc?

[teal cairn]

ive tested oc and factory oc

same thing

[fading glacier]

not the same thing but ok

[teal cairn]

ik

im saying ive tested both

Games like Valorant I should get 500 fps

i get like 300

in rust i should get like 160-170 on an empty server

i get like 100

oc doesnt do that much

Im trying to think what else it could be 😂

[fading glacier]

500fps on valorant high 1080p... unlikely

300 is doable, but not 500

on a 3060ti

[teal cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FnDpPfvuQ0

[fading glacier]

well, i stand correcetd

i was looking at the wrong benchmarks it seems

[teal cairn]

thats just one instance tbh

Its just odd

[fading glacier]

yeah only think that i can think is to ddu your drivers and reinstall

?ddu

[neat venture]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[fading glacier]

maybe your issue is driver related

[teal cairn]

👍

[lone pond]

Are channels like these accurate?

[teal cairn]

Bro that's what I'm saying

I check many other sources and it seems about accurate tho

[wicked hound]

No statement on CPU being truly stock (stock mobo BIOS can "OC" a CPU with certain settings such as different freq/voltage graphs, power limits, multi core enhancement [max boost clock is applied to multi threaded loads instead of single threaded loads], etc), no statement of system memory (frequency, timings, rank setup, etc), no statement on OS being properly debloated, no statement on how many tests were done for consistency or margin of error, no statement on OS build version or driver version.

They can be accurate, but lot of unknown and unmanaged variables that can easily make these tests quite inaccurate.

[lone pond]

Right that makes sense

[fading glacier]

not accurate but you can use them as reference

If you see 130fps on a benchmark, and your rig manage 110-120 then you are kinda ok, as hay said, maybe some oc here and there can give them those 10 fps boost

but 130 on a benchmark and your rig only pump 60... thats kinda odd

[oak rivet]

High just gotta turn the AA the down

That's the fps killer

[teal cairn]

Conclusion

my mobo is annoying af

I cant run my ram at correct speed

its 3600 kit and i put it at 3500

idk if thats bad to do but it runs lol

[livid idol]

Sounds like you need to increase the voltage

[solid glacier]

Any good singleplayer games that recently came out

[livid idol]

If you like xcom games then marvel midnight suns is supposed to be good

Dead space remake is good too

[solid glacier]

i like open world singleplayer games like assassins creed etc

[livid idol]

Yeah I don't think there's any notable open world recent releases

[oak rivet]

i would say forspoken and dying light 2

expect dying light 2 didnt really come out recently

[livid idol]

Everyone seems to hate forspoken

[solid glacier]

i got forspoken its meh

also Fal that new dp cord i got for my monitor it turns my monitor on and off lol-

it disconnects randomly

[livid idol]

Hmm. could be a bad port then

[solid glacier]

Yea on my card or monitor

i just switched the cable around to see if that helps loll

[fading glacier]

ew, forsbroken

[fading glacier]

hi-fi rush... went under the radar... a jewel ❤️

[solid glacier]

Is it?

[fading glacier]

im halfway thru, so far, fun as hell

[wicked hound]

HiFi Rush's credit score is ForsakenByTheGods's credit score multiplied it by negative two.
-2 million * -2 = +4 million

[fading glacier]

proof that you dont need 4090 AAAA graphics to be fun and worth your time

plus the soundtrack is soo goood

[wicked hound]

I mean I'd kinda hope a rhythm games has good soundtrack. One of the main aspects.

[fading glacier]

touche

[solid glacier]

eh it isnt my type of game

[fading glacier]

then i think you should wait a lil longer for ac mirage

supposedly "back to the roots" of the ac series

or hogwarts next week if you are into that

[oak rivet]

That's the problem

No more big open worlds to have the exploration vibe

[odd siren]

I am going to play Pharoah remake

[solid glacier]

Yea I preordered Hogwarts #

[oak rivet]

Also the protagonist is basim

[fading glacier]

yeah the no open world could backfire

potentially backfire

they are playing a dangerous gamble

[oak rivet]

Yeah Ac valhalla is a game it's easy to dump hundreds of hours into

Helps the longevity of game

[fading glacier]

plus they are charging premium for a linear game.... doesnt seem right to me

[oak rivet]

Also the cites seem dense and filled with npc I expect it to be quite heavy on cpus

[fading glacier]

probably a visual feedback setting should help on that

spiderman went that route anyway

[solid glacier]

FAL my fans at 85% speed is way to like loud lol sldoesnt sound great

[livid idol]

Overheating or silence, pick one

High end gamer's dilemma

[cerulean rover]

Third option: noctua

[livid idol]

(no that's not a typo )

I did also suggest zip tying a 120mm fan to it

[odd siren]

T30 deshroud on a gigabyte 6900XT = total silence and good temps

[livid idol]

The stock fans are only so loud because they have to spin so fast to make up for being so much slimmer than normal fans

[odd siren]

Windforce effective but loud

[solid glacier]

t30 deshroud?

[livid idol]

Take the plastic cover and fans off and strap T30 fans to it

[odd siren]

^

Repaste with like NT H2 or MX4/MX6

Ez done

[solid glacier]

idek how to do that or start i dont wanna mess it up lol ill stick with loud fans good temps

[odd siren]

Kk

[oak rivet]

dont think that recommendation was serious

[odd siren]

It was

I've literally done it

[oak rivet]

i can see it being very scary for the avg user

[livid idol]

Best way to fix a GPU's temps without liquid cooling

Average users might be a little put off from the idea since you usually have to take off the entire cooler to do it

[odd siren]

Scary sure but 15C drop? Worth

[oak rivet]

also 85% fan speed seems excessive if the gpu is being run stock probably could use a repaste

[livid idol]

Anyone comfortable with a repaste should be comfortable with a deshroud

[odd siren]

Yeah if you're gonna repaste then the deshroud is like 10 minutes extra

[sturdy storm]

so on cold boots, my gpu works perfectly fine but the gpu fan refuses to spin for a while

I think it does eventually start spinning but

idk

[livid idol]

That's normal behavior

[sturdy storm]

oh

so its just warming up then?

[livid idol]

Many modern GPUs have a zero rpm mode when it's cool, the fan only kicks on at around 50C

[sturdy storm]

oh also unrelated but my damn pc has some random noise every time it turns on from a cold boot as well

sounds like rumbling essentially

it does stop eventually too

idk

it only started recently

[livid idol]

System fans ramping up for the POST test probably. That's how the system knows what headers are occupied and whether they're DC or PWM.

[sturdy storm]

GTX 1060 6 GB, 2016
So yeah maybe that makes sense now

it always scares me because the pc is janky enough as is

the panel isnt on there because I constantly need to check it
nothing fits properly since its a prebuilt
etc

anyway, thanks

[livid idol]

I feel that pain. I started from a prebuilt I traded a friend for. He got my PS3, I got a phenom pc.

[sturdy storm]

ok well the fan's on it seems

yeah what is that "rustling" (not saying it is rustling) noise that I hear from exclusively a cold boot as well?

i know it definitely isnt a fan lol

[livid idol]

Most likely something is spinning up, like a hard drive

[sturdy storm]

no hard drive

just an ssd

[livid idol]

DVD drive?

[sturdy storm]

okay I didnt think about that one

but its only cold boots so I don't get it either

[livid idol]

Unplug the drive and see if it stops

[sturdy storm]

the noise stops itself after a while

quieting down eventually

fairly quickly too

[livid idol]

Yeah that tracks for a dvd drive

[sturdy storm]

guess I know that one too

just never happened before until a few boots ago so idk

[livid idol]

Maybe the motor is going out

They do tend to make more noise before they die

[sturdy storm]

eh I never use the dvd drive anyway

could just take it out and test it again

and not put it back in since I don't care

move to another channel btw?

[livid idol]

sure, #building-and-recc-chat is general purpose

[solid glacier]

bro linus in xqcs stream

[solid glacier]

Fal that cabel i got might be to strong

bc it stills flashes black for a milisec

Also which slots shoukd@I plug my keybaord into

[solid glacier]

i got 2 cables for my keyboard loll

[livid idol]

The 2.0 (black ones) are fine unless you have one of those ultra high polling rate deals

[solid glacier]

my mouse can pull up t 1k hz

i have it set to 500hz

[livid idol]

That's not ultra high

That's normal

[solid glacier]

but my mouse is plugged into my keyboard

oh okay cool

[livid idol]

8kHz is ultra high

[solid glacier]

oh

yea idk why my monitor is flashing balack for milisecs randomly didnt with the oringally dp port cable maybe this cable isnt the right one lol

[livid idol]

If you got a super cheap one it just might be bad too

[solid glacier]

i got the one u sent me

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08FBJYWTJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

[livid idol]

Right right, those are normally fine

[solid glacier]

hmm

weird

then

Also i just found out my monitor has this?

a driver wthh

i dont think i need that i ondt use hdr

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/645402689282375680/1071985632496328834/image.png theres this to

[livid idol]

Monitor drivers are pretty common, mine use them too but usually gets them from Windows Update

[livid idol]

Intel or AMD

[solid glacier]

for cpu?

or like

[livid idol]

yes

[solid glacier]

intel

[livid idol]

What motherboard then? You're missing chipset drivers

[solid glacier]

Msi intel pro z690-A ddr4

[livid idol]

https://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/mb/intel_chipset_600_700.zip

[solid glacier]

I might have those

installed

[livid idol]

Try it anyway

If it says you have it installed already or a newer version then we'll go from there

[solid glacier]

got it already

[livid idol]

Ok so we do it the hard way

[solid glacier]

great

[livid idol]

In device manager right click it and go to properties

Go to the details tab and select hardware IDs from the drop down

[solid glacier]

on the unknown device?>

[livid idol]

On the base system device

Should look something like this

Looks like it might be a USB 4.0 controller

[solid glacier]

it doesnt even reconize any of the 2

gives me the option to update the base system device

[livid idol]

Yeah I had to look the ID up on a database

That's hard mode lol

Try this https://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/mb/intel_gna_scoring_accelerator.zip

[solid glacier]

is that for my mobo

[livid idol]

Yes it's under "other"

[solid glacier]

windows 10?>

[livid idol]

Yes

[solid glacier]

i didnt have this installed on my old windows

so in installed it

now what

soi i looked up msi afterburner shouldnt i have that installed since i got a msi mobo

I dont got these installed

[livid idol]

That's for GPUs but it works for all brands

[solid glacier]

okay i installed both of those

and now i dont se other devices

[livid idol]

Ok cool

[solid glacier]

Now back to my monitor issue

Is there something i gatta do special with this cable bc its a 8k/4k cable

maybe its too strong for my moniitor

[solid glacier]

^ also should this be on high perforamnce

[livid idol]

High performance is mostly for benchmarking

It keeps the processor from sleeping and saving power

[solid glacier]

oh okay

[livid idol]

That's not a thing

[solid glacier]

hmm then it has to be the cable

[livid idol]

It's either bad luck and the new cable is bad too or a bad port

I've had similar issues with using dual monitor for years

3 different GPUs, 3 different generations, all the same flicker

[solid glacier]

Im trying a new port on my gpu bc i got 2 hdmi and 2 dp

see if it happens still

If not im gucci

and ifit still happens i got another dp cable, i bought 2 of the ones u sent me

so noww it went completly black lol and then back on

just switched cables gonna see if it happens

[solid glacier]

@livid idol

bvmm

nvmm

[solid glacier]

is 61 temp for cpu bad

[keen nacelle]

No

[sullen panther]

If it's idle that's a bit high

[cerulean rover]

Doesn't really matter, if it's under 90c in use, it's probably not worth worrying about

[nocturne nest]

is 70 C on gpu good for max setting on rust

[cerulean rover]

it's fine

[nocturne nest]

alr

[hot bough]

70c is fine on any game.

[hot bough]

How is the 7950x3D expected to perform against the 13900KS for gaming and workstation use?

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/8ball-bart-simpson-shaking-shake-magic-ball-gif-17725278

[keen nacelle]

We have no confirmation, but personally I believe it will all around be better

The 7950x already beats the 13900ks in multi core loads I believe

[vital oriole]

ya

should be all around faster than 13900ks

if the usual 3d cache perf trend follows

[hot bough]

Really?

Thought the two were neck and neck currently.

[hot bough]

What exactly is 3D cashe?

[vital oriole]

it's cache memory but stacked

denser within same space

[hot bough]

So instead of just spreading it out on a 2D plane it's also stacked making it into a 3d plane of memory?

What does the stacked memory do to cause the increase in performance?

Got it just looked it up so it's increasing the L3 cache within the CPU which helps with gaming but doesn't help with productivity workloads.

[vital oriole]

It can help in productivity, but not much

And well the increase in performance is to do with more fast memory being able to be used without increase in latency, since you have more within same die space

It immensely helps in games

Or tasks that are latency sensitive

[cerulean rover]

We don't know how well the implementation is though

Half the cores will have extra l3 stacked on top, but therefore be harder to cool and therefore boosts worse, but the other half boosts higher but has less l3 cache

Feel like we need people to play around with it first

[hot bough]

I see.

Also I just now realized I asked this in the wrong channel lmao.

[livid idol]

It's not so much the stacking that allows higher performance as much as it is it allows a MASSIVE increase in the amount of cache available to the cores.
Games love cache in general. Any time you're CPU bound (even a little) you will get more fps with more cache with few exceptions.

[hot bough]

Gotcha.

[livid idol]

The 7900X3D has more L3 cache than my first PC had memory

I miss that computer... Good times playing Starcraft

[hot bough]

So your in your 30s?

[livid idol]

Almost

[hot bough]

Based that on my father when he got his computer. He was among the first to own a computer.

[livid idol]

Mine was secondhand, my grandma gave it to me when I was 10. She upgraded from 98 to 2000 and gave me the old one lol.

[hot bough]

Gotcha.

[livid idol]

I'm glad I did grow up with that PC because I was swapping the CPU by the time I was 12

[hot bough]

xD I had an ipad at the age of 3.

I grew up around tech my whole life.

Tech and fitness two things that normally never mix.

[livid idol]

That's like my kids. They've claimed my Switch.

[hot bough]

Well I am a start cooking see you guys in a bit.

[ivory herald]

I had an ipad 2 or 3 a while back. Ended up getting a decent $75 for it trading in at Bestbuy.

[random walrus]

My dad still uses his ipod touch (4?) from 2010. I remember playing MCPE on it till the metal backing got too hot to touch

[lone pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fNNMtn

Is this a better GPU than the one in my parts list? The 3060 ti vs. the RX6750 XT? https://www.newegg.com/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-zt-a30610h-10mlhr/p/N82E16814500518

[keen nacelle]

No

[heady turtle]

Also i wouldn't buy a 12600k when it's basically a 13400 but more expensive hotter and overlclockable

Or spend 200$ on that case, do you actually need those slots?

[livid idol]

Too late they already have it

I'd prefer a 12600k anyway personally, no locked SA to worry about so fast memory is fine

[hasty sphinx]

You make me feel better about having a 12600k.

I might be getting a 13600k as well. I probs shouldn't.. but I can't help myself.

ln2?

I mean, was it used for LN2 and then not needed?

I was gonna say this, but I figured I'd just ask in a different way.

I would like to get one from him. He said something about possibly having one he hasn't tested yet.

something about his bin rejects generally OC well on an ambient solution and not very well on LN2

Idk, he said it on the 30th. So possibly has.

nice lol

rip

Mhmmmmm

and how did you "not break it"?

oof

moisture on the board?

either way that really sucks

[wraith pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-smug-face-gif-13598613

[hot bough]

Wanted to double check, if I had 2 GPUs in one PC would I be able to use the 2nd one to run more monitors?

And would the games pick the more powerful GPU of the two to use.

[lone pond]

Windows has an option for this

[oak rivet]

https://www.techspot.com/news/97541-nvidia-releases-automatic-update-discord-bug-but-users.html

[livid idol]

Yes, that's a common tactic to avoid multi monitor bugs. Grab an old, cheap workstation GPU to run the second monitor, and games will default to the primary GPU. You can select the render device in Nvidia settings.

It's the same effect as using an iGPU to run secondary monitors

[solid glacier]

My gpu temps aren’t good

When my hot spot reaches 90c I get bad performance

[livid idol]

That's because it starts throttling to keep the temperature down.
You can set the temperature target higher to alleviate that but you're much better off solving the actual problem instead.

Did you add any extra fans to your G360A or just the stock 3 fans?
Your case fans are on a curve right? Or static speed? Could try cranking those next.

[solid glacier]

Yea there on a fan curve

Im not sure what there set for speed wise i would have to go into bios to check

[solid glacier]

yea i have 1 rear exhaust fans thats it

[livid idol]

Ok, if cranking the fans fails then moving the stock fans to exhaust and slapping 3 new high flow fans on the front might be in order

[solid glacier]

so take off the 3 fans that came with the case? and use them as exhaust and order 3 new high flow fans

[livid idol]

That would be the next thing if pushing what fans you have to their limit isn't fixing it

[livid idol]

That's the CPU fan

[livid idol]

Looks like a static speed, that'll be around 50%

[solid glacier]

So change it?

[livid idol]

Enable smart fan mode for the system fans

That'll put them on a curve according to the CPU temp

[livid idol]

That should have them run faster

[solid glacier]

Do it for all 4?

[livid idol]

Yep

[solid glacier]

Then what

Keep them all like that^

[livid idol]

Save and exit, test your temps

[solid glacier]

Cool bet

[livid idol]

Yep the default curve is still higher than your default static speed

[solid glacier]

Oo bet so that means I only had my cpu fan curved and not my actual case fans 🤣

[livid idol]

Easy thing to overlook

[solid glacier]

ill run a apex game rn and see how the temps are

[solid glacier]

still getting same temps

[livid idol]

Are the fans 3 pin or 4 pin

[odd siren]

I would suggest a repaste

[livid idol]

Turns out his front fans were on a static 50%

[odd siren]

Poor die contact can give instability under load even if it's not reported. Experienced this first hand when the nt-h1 tube I had was faulty paste

I believe I mentioned this before

[solid glacier]

not sure what u mean by this

[livid idol]

The plugs for the motherboard

Connected to the system fan headers

Well I guess it doesn't matter much but you could have quieter fans with better rpm control with 4 pin pwm fans

[solid glacier]

i think there 4

G360a front fans are pretty useless

[solid glacier]

Should i just order better ones ?

[odd siren]

They're functional but they're not amazing by any stretch

Nah I wouldn't order new ones

[livid idol]

You'll want to shift the curve to the left about 10 degrees and set the fans to pwm mode instead of DC

[odd siren]

Just repaste the gpu

Literally gigabyte stock paste sucks

[livid idol]

This is also true but I like to explore free solutions first lol

[odd siren]

Well repaste is cheaper and easier than new fans

[solid glacier]

Set them all to PWM

[livid idol]

Good. Shift the dots about 10 degrees left next. Your CPU doesn't get as hot when gaming so they still aren't spinning anywhere near max.

[solid glacier]

All 4?

[livid idol]

Yep

[solid glacier]

Like all 4 dots

[livid idol]

Yes

[livid idol]

That way the curve isn't too steep. Sudden changes in fan speed are more noticeable than loud fans.

[odd siren]

Msi has a really slow fan ramp

Lol

At least in my experience

[livid idol]

You should hear my Torrent 180mm fans ramping up on my board

[odd siren]

My 140's get noisy yeah lol

[solid glacier]

Okay done

[livid idol]

I had to cap their speed to 60%

[livid idol]

Cool. Give it another test now.

[livid idol]

Yep looks good

[solid glacier]

temps are the same

[odd siren]

Repaste gpu

[solid glacier]

what paste do i get

[odd siren]

NT-H2

Spread it across the whole chip nice and even, don't miss a single spot. Unlike a cpu, missing a spot can kill a gpu if you aren't careful

But that's easily done, no such thing as too much paste

Gigabyte's stock paste is usually garbage

[solid glacier]

my hotspot reached 88 my reg temp is 67

Maybe my cpu needs to be repasted

[odd siren]

That doesn't sound too bad, but it'll likely be better with gpu repaste

Could also be ram

Or maybe psu

CPU unless you did some 5 minute overclock shouldn't be the cause

[solid glacier]

hm

my cpu was hitting 55c plus

my ram is fine i think

its a brand new set

[odd siren]

Again, unless the cpu has some quick overclock on it it's unlikely

I'll cross off ram too if it's a new kit

[solid glacier]

by a new kit its like a month old if that

[odd siren]

Iirc the 6900xt has 8 sensors around the edge of the die, it will report the hottest edge

[solid glacier]

2nd set of this ram my first set went bad so i mean it could be my ram maybe this brand is just ass

[odd siren]

If there's any instability from a high temp spot you'll get weirdness at high temps

Doesn't necessarily get picked up by the software

[solid glacier]

oh hm so waht do i do

do I download testmem5 to see if my ram is bad? or

[odd siren]

Repaste gpu imo

Nah

[solid glacier]

alrigfht

this

[odd siren]

After this long? If you swapped ram then it's not ram

Yeah that

Remember to also wipe the old paste clean

And carefully open the gpu, don't rip it apart with anything but extremely gentle.force

You don't want a cap to come off or chip

[solid glacier]

alright im gonna clean the pc first to see if that helps bc its dusty

[odd siren]

Ok

[solid glacier]

I just ordered the paste

[hot bough]

Got it, I will probs reuse my 3070 for that purpose then.

[heady turtle]

Pls just sell your 3070 and buy a cpu with an igpu or a 1030 or something instead of using it for a 2nd monitor 💀

[solid glacier]

IS 67C To hot for a cpu?

and high 55c

[keen nacelle]

No

[hot bough]

Sorry mate but no, it's an EVGA.

[heady turtle]

Lol what

[hot bough]

Plus, I can always reuse it for my brother when I decide to make him a PC.

No more EVGA GPUs.

[heady turtle]

So lol?

[hot bough]

For my collection.

[solid glacier]

i might have bad ram

lol

again

[hot folio]

Too high, should be -20C

[keen nacelle]

should be 0 kelvin tbh
