They seem to have learned from those mistakes for 40 series, I've not heard any major complaints.

fading glacier
#

still, that was enough to make zotac a meme

#

they will need a couple generations to clean that stain

Zotac has finally stopped being Zootac with 40 series

Bad service with sapphire . I order , gpu , and psu msi in same time 2024-03-14 , my psu is already coming and my gpu is delayed... why ... never again buying sapphire.

odd siren
#

That's a person problem

#

If you told me the card melted or died when you put it in...well that would sway me, not a logistics issue with something like UPS

#

Also, it's been what 2 days? That's nothing

#

Lol

#

Try ordering watercooling parts, they can take MONTHS depending on your circumstances

mighty eagle
odd siren
#

Nope

#

It's common in a lot of stores out there that picking the expedited option is in fact slower

#

Try amazon for example

#

It all comes down to your individual logistics infrastructure

#

Respectfully, if you had ordered any other card, having a two day processing would have been extremely likely all the same

#

It's two days

#

Some stores have 1 week processing

mighty eagle
odd siren
#

Look up Mwave in Australia

#

Anything with a supplier tag takes a minimum 1 week

#

There's one store

#

Should I quote alphacool?

#

Umart

#

Pcbyte?

#

I have a lot of experience with this 1st hand

#

2 days is a luxury where I'm from

mighty eagle
#

which I find stupid, he should prioritize expensive orders $$$.. my 400$ psu could wait instead my gpu . rather my point

odd siren
#

It's just another number in the queue my guy

mighty eagle
#

Sadly

odd siren
#

If you bought a 100K server rack

#

Sure

#

You probably would get fast processing

#

But anything in the consumer space no, it's just a typical order

Thx for your time!

#

Am I crazy or does Adrenalin come with the auto-detect option on AMD drivers?

odd siren
#

yes

#

auto detect and install

#

I think it also works for mobo chipset iirc

#

very convenient if the process is too difficult for some

ok ty was not sure if it would bottle neck it

Also, ddr4 or ddr5

#

GPU display driver crashes are happening again... maybe its the way my system was built as to why its doing it?

#

Its mostly from last gen parts too. We checked every peice to be fine last time too

#

Ryzen 3900x, corsair ddr4 3600 hrz dominator ram, b550M Pro-P aorus motherboard, samsung 980 pro 1tb, 3080ti FE with enough cooling on everything.
Maybe goin up to win 11 could help???

lament widget
frank dagger
#

it was power limited 90% via afterburner as a previous change, may as well bring it back. and usually it's always seated correctly. latest driver was installed at the time, tried again with the current driver and still crashed.

lament widget
frank dagger
#

everything motherboard side is up to date. did 2 cleanses before goin back to an old stable driver from 2 years that always works

lament widget
frank dagger
#

this point, ima wait for the 50 series and do the gen 5 build. cause a 50 series in ddr4 will be GIGGA BOTTLE'D

#

although again, would changin from win 10 to win 11 be a good idea to have driver stability?

vital oriole
#

no

#

but you might want to anyway

#

due to win 10 losing support

#

i don't get it now... so while i went away for one second it happened on the "Safe driver" then i decided to reseat the card and now it seems to be going fine(????) i don't know what the hell is going on now.

wut do???

vital oriole
#

must be a loose connection then

frank dagger
#

so it could be either the pcie on the MB, pcie on gpu gettin damage, gpu saggin, or all the above

#

it has been on my build since 2021 so ye

vital oriole
#

mhm

#

anything is possible

lament widget
frank dagger
#

or i could put a lego block under it

lament widget
#

However you engineer it is all good

frank dagger
#

Actually, maybe it is the pcie, cause i was able to boot back up after it "dc'd". So if it made the windows dc noise, then i was able to boot up. Its just wiggling on for life. Maybe a small bump was what made the gpu dc from the motherboard, therefore. Gpu sag may have cause damage to the pcie or the pcie is bein damaged and can't hold it securely. Eitherways, ima need to lego support up when i can

Im running it now, normally it stops after like, 1 minute of gameplay. I'll see now

i've been also lightly applying push and it seems to be holding

frank dagger
#

ye, its got it safe. pushed my case lightly and it still holds on, lego ain't budging inside so it should be fine for now. i'll probably look up another gpu support bracket but for now. it's got it leveled... i guess i was to blind to see it sag

Thanks all btw

It’s the best for your budget.

plush garden
#

And the storage is ass to

olive bobcat
#

There are very very few times where you will ever need a water cooler

#

Just upgrade the storage to 2tb lmao

odd siren
#

Wow I didn't think I'd get to use this immediately

#

Go look here ^^^

olive bobcat
#

^^^^^

odd siren
#

Multiple sources that show that even the highest end 7950X can be absolutely fine on an air cooler

olive bobcat
#

The only CPUs I’ve seen that do better with a liquid cooler, are high end intel CPUs

odd siren
#

7950X can benefit *from an aio provided said aio has a good coldplate or offset mount

#

But only in pbo scenarios

#

If you just use it at stock, the difference will be maybe 1%

#

All the others should be more than fine on an air cooler

#

Even the 7950X3D and 7900X3D which have lower max tdp than the 7950X

#

Also btw, that 1TB ssd is free

olive bobcat
#

That too

odd siren
#

That's the only real reason we have it there

#

Free is way better than paying $70+

#

And it's a good one

#

SM2263XT TLC HMB Dramless

#

Should run really well for free

plush garden
odd siren
#

By and large the best gpu in the ~$800 region

plush garden
#

Alr

odd siren
#

Since you wouldn't get a free SSD so you'd be ultimately paying about $200 more which will eat into that gpu budget

#

One sec I'll edit bacca's list

#

Put a board and case suggestion in there too, shaves a little more money off *if you get both together

#

4070 Ti is also decent if you go cheap here

#

You are just gaming yes? If so, 7900XT should be fine, but if you're considering work with like, adobe, blender (nvidia optix specialty), resolve, you'd want the 4070ti instead

#

Non-super btw

#

The non-super sells for way less than the super version for almost the same performance

#

Buy a gpu support stand or get some lego to hold up this particular model, historically late gigabyte models aren't great with the way they sag* inside the pc, so keeping them as straight as possible will help it a lot

#

I'd pick a better model but frankly the gaming OC is so cheap and worth doing if you can remember to do that

#

Surprised this turned up in my feed just now

#

He basically echoes most of what's been said so far and he's not really wrong

#

It's just more of a case of what games you'd want to play (e.g lots of fps > 7800x3d is better, lots of AAA > 7600 is better)

keen nacelle
#

or perf per $

#

especially with how well the gre scales with ocing, i figured $150 less it was a no brainer

odd siren
#

But for high end it's excellent

#

Since in the high end you pay a premium

#

If you look at $/fps curves the value trickles off slowly as you creep more to the high end

#

And that's saying this knowing that 40 series really normalised the value curve

plush garden
#

@odd siren thoughts of this build

odd siren
#

with no case either

plush garden
#

I have case alr

#

And how that worse it has a 4070ti super lmao

#

And good cooling and good storage

odd siren
#

aio is known to clog and terribly overkill for the cpu, the chip only needs a basic single tower, the ssd has a huge scandal involved with it where it'll brick itself without the right firmware, and won't get warranty coverage, not to mention it's worse than the fx900 pro I linked

#

the 4070 ti super is worse than both cards I suggested, both in performance and performance/$

#

the psu is almost a risk with the specs picked

#

not nearly up to the safety standard most enthusiasts would suggest

#

not trying to roast here but more explain with full intent, we do a lot of research before we make these suggestions

#

if you look at the post I made in #old-cooling you should see what I mean by the 7800X3D is already at 99% of it's performance on an AMD stock cooler

#

I don't have any qualms with the motherboard picked if you like it, it's a little bit extra for a bit more i/o and aesthetic if that's what you like

#

which is good for entry level systems, not high end like a 4070 Ti/7900XT

#

the 7800X3D cooling:

#

tl;dr 240mm aio vs amd wraith prism stock cooler, aio was only 1-2% better

#

under full load at that, which almost never happens in games

#

lastly, don't shop purely off of one website, that's how you climb costs into oblivion

Is it safe to ship a gpu with just bubble wrap?

#

are +30C hotspot temps normal underload. I have a 4090 ROG Strix OC and at full load with full fans temps are 78C Core and 110C on the hotspot, would I need to buy thermal pads or do a repaste or are these temps fine when under max load.

vital oriole
#

they should be fine

#

tho a bit over micron 105c

#

id consider a repad

unreal elm
#

yeah i'll probably repad and maybe repaste looks like a lot of the asus cards have bad stock thermal paste and pads

solid glacier
junior locust
#

yeah you want an EU to NA adapter

#

though you might have issues since I believe those will want 240v power

odd siren
#

Temps should be around ~10C delta

#

15C at most if you're pushing some 550+W

unreal elm
#

do you think its worth trying to rma before i do it myself or will asus just mess up the paste again

odd siren
#

Depends

#

If you've already opened it, well...

#

They might still take it?

#

But if not, you could rma

#

My experience with RMA'ing high hotspot cards tends to be a 50/50 between good or meh results

#

On the other hand, arctic MX-6 is a good paste that should also do the trick provided the coldplate on the graphics card isn't lumpy garbage (usually isn't on strix)

unreal elm
#

i havent opened it

#

ill try the rma first and if nothings really better i’ll repaste

#

thanks for the help

unreal elm
# odd siren Alr

I think im actually just going to repaste, would I need to repad the gpu as well or just repaste it? I have repasted a 2080ti before but I didn't repad it but temps were fine

odd siren
#

Depends if you destroy the pads or not

#

If you're extremely slow and careful

#

The pads are likely to survive

#

Usually

#

Unless they used ptm7950 in which case the whole thing needs redo not just the core

unreal elm
#

so if they used ptm7950 I need to repaste the core and then redo the pads

#

would they have used it on the core and on the memory and stuff

odd siren
#

Ye

#

It'd be on all of it

#

It would all look like this ashy paste stuff

#

Instead of pads + paste

unreal elm
#

from what ive seen online it looks like asus uses pads for the memory so hopefully they didn't change that

#

its usually the core that contributes to the hotspot temp right because in one post someone saw like a -20C delta reduction by repasting and changing thermal pads, so I would I need to change the pads even if i dont break them. Memory temps average 70 at load so I feel like thats alright

odd siren
#

Depends

#

If the paste is just a bad job, repaste will fix

#

If it's a bad mount, yes, pads will be a pain

#

You'd need to find pads that are either slightly shorter by like half a mm, or same size but squishier

#

Or use K5 which is the easy route

unreal elm
#

yeah I think I will just get the putty incase I rip anything

#

I just need to make it roughly the same dimensions as the original pads right

odd siren
#

Shorter or identical

#

But more importantly squishy af

#

If they don't squish well, they're often garbage

unreal elm
#

would you say the K5 Paste/Pad are a good brand

#

I think im just going to buy it incase I need it

odd siren
#

k5 pro putty imo is good

#

not because of the quality itself

#

but because of how braindead it makes the whole process

#

you don't need to measure anything, just replace pads with putty >>>> profit

#

it in itself is a meh conductor of heat

#

but extremely reliable in that it removes pads out of the equation to the core mount flatness

#

it's messy af but worth it imo

#

2 sticks should do a whole 4090

unreal elm

Currently have a 7900XT and i'm running 3 1080p 144hz monitors. Main monitor for gaming.. I have a Ryzen9 3900XT, and with 32gb of ram.

My display card NVIDIA RTX 4050 on ASUS K6502VU laptop display always (black screen, but keyboard backlight is still on and hard drive still running) crashes sometimes when certain applications especially MS Edge, and Windows event log viewer output the following message (with level Error)

The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

#

Appears to work for now it must an Edge issue because I flipped some edge://flags especially about graphics backend from default directx3d 11 to opengl and some "GPU rasterization" and "zero copy video capture" stuff that maybe crashes drivers

#

I am unfortunately too new to post images of the exact flags I switched here but they are GPU related

livid idol
#

Could be an issue related to switching between GPUs. You get that sometimes.
You'd want to DDU both the dGPU and iGPU drivers, Intel and Nvidia in this case. Then install the latest for both.

Tried following exact instructions installed both NVidia and Intel official drivers and switch back from dGPU mode to MSHybrid (dual GPU mode) now the screen is unfortunately pitch black after boot screen. Heard the windows start-up sound but I see nothing now

Could try disabling one GPU or the other in BIOS

#

So you can see which one is acting up

lone pond

The Intel one

But the Intel driver from ASUS or Windows update appears to work before

When I DDUed to uninstall the Intel graphics driver it booted up with graphics

I am not going to use that laptop after graduation rather I will join the Build Your Own PC family

#

Clearly Intel display driver issue isn't caused by hardware because it is by Intel not Asus

#

Asus website driver somehow works instead

lament widget
#

Sure but they might have a solution on specific servers or chipset updates to direct you to. I had an issue with my lenovo that had cross communication issues between amd igpu and nvidia graphics despite changing settings to be one or the other but it got sorted out

#

My laptop downloaded studio drivers for my 4060 instead of game ready, and a bios update and chipset update fixed the boot and performance issues.

#

Just suggesting going through them before you give up on it

I used drivers which are GRD instead of SD that may be the issue

How do I persuade a streamer that never updates his NVIDIA driver to update. Whenever NVIDIA pops up an update he says I aM nOt UpDaTiNg YoU

spare relic
#

get him off streaming kekw

lone pond
#

Or if obs some day says "Your graphics driver is no longer supported" and he won't even be able to stream

opal iron
heady turtle
livid idol
odd siren
#

Yeah most people who insist on not doing that usually stem from concerns the driver will break and have probably gone through multiple iterations

#

I know a lot of people like this

fading glacier
#

90% of driver updates are just for "optimization" on newer games

lone pond
#

Yeah unless it fixes a serious bug maybe

fading glacier
#

thats why i said 90%

#

of the time

#

to me, he is smart by not update his drivers

#

again... if it works, just dont touch it

#

im still with december drivers on mine

#

they work just fine

keen nacelle
#

Yeah I really don't understand why people are so big on updating drivers ever few months, or hell even every new driver release

#

Sure you should do it at least semi often, but unless there's an issue, bug fix, safety concern, etc, who cares

fading glacier
#

exactly, and like falcie said, unless there is a new feature i want or a bug fix on it, im not updating just for the sake of updating

#

so, regarding your question of how do you persuade that streamer?

#

you dont

#

his/her pc, his/her choices

#

the most you can do is suggest

#

haha speaking of optimizations... i should update mine xD

#

been playing helldivers for like a week on december drivers

#

howerver it runs fine

lone pond
#

Well NVIDIA driver appears to autoupdate and that streamer is obviously not happy about it because during the installation the display adapter performs reset and ended the stream

livid idol
#

You can disable that in settings. In fact, the default is for it not to auto update but just notify when updates are available. It won't even download the update without asking unless you tell it to do so in advance.

lone pond
#

He may accidentally clicked install

odd siren
#

I've never had it autoupdate on me

lone pond
#

Or maybe it is pushed through windows update

odd siren
#

windows update will push through regardless of how the person feels

#

I think there are ways to permanently disable it, but you risk a lot more things breaking as iterations move up with each windows package

#

I almost always check for a windows update before I finish up for the day

#

or prior to doing something important

#

You can almost consider it basic pc care at this point cos windows will eventually make you update it

lone pond
#

There is a group policy or registry key to disable automatic driver updates on corporate devices

odd siren
#

Yes as microsoft cares about large chunks of money rather than the individual

#

It causes way too many issues with virtualisation if they didn't allow it

I need to buy a graphics card 😡 ahhhh ( and the rtx 5090 is going to release in 9-12 months)

#

It’s a terrible time to buy a gpu but I have to get one

#

What do i do? What should i get? 4070? 6900 used? 7900gre? 😡

#

The problem is the gpu tick and tock cycle,

#

Rtx 4000 series is just like RTX 2000 series

#

And in 9-12 months a big leap, a true big generational uplift will arrive with RTX 5000 series just like RTX 3000 series (minus the crypto explosion)

#

But I have to get a gpu now 😭😭😭

fading glacier
#

there is little incentive to make consumer gpus these days

fading glacier
#

even some say that the 90 class could dissapear on the next gen

#

nvidia is turning all their resources to ai instead

#

not to mention that the big market for them is in china and us is making a lot of restrictions on the cards for them

#

now is a good time to buy a gpu in my opinion

#

but if you want to wait 12+ months for the 50 series, go ahead

dusty belfry
#

Thank it made me feel better 😄

#

We will find out at the next gtc event. Nvidia doesn’t want to loose it’s crown in retail either, they will double down in competition not despite their ai success but thanks to it. With TSMC 4N node I bet the leather guy is going to present a big beefy 32GB GDDR7 5090 for at or less than 1600$

fading glacier
#

dont count on that

#

nvidia doesnt care for the consumer market anymore

dusty belfry
#

We’ll see 😄

fading glacier
#

ai is giving them a ton more money than the consumer market, and the big money makers on that segment was china, and us is pounding it hard with restrcitions.... if somehow a 5090 appears, they will have to cut it down a ton to enter into china, so it will end as another 4090

#

thats why there will be no big leap as you expect

#

50 series should be at most a cut down version of blackwell

#

a really cut down version to fly below the radar

#

nvidia doesnt care about crowns, care about money and right now ai is giving them more money than ever, while the consumer market is giving them more headaches

odd siren
livid idol
#

4090 should be plenty for most people for a good few years until CPUs catch up. Unless Ryzen 9000 really delivers on the hype, but it's looking like that previous +25% is more like a +15% at this point. So 7000X3D should still win in most games.

odd siren
#

I see next gen cpus as the answer to bring out the latent performance of the current gen 4090

#

God knows what a 5090 could do, 4090 hasn't even had the chance to show it's complete colours yet

#

It'd absolutely be a 4K card at a minimum, maybe 8K standard

livid idol
#

Native res at that, no DLSS

Now I just hope Nvidia finally puts DP 2.1 ports

when just sitting on desktop the gpu usage is at 30%

Try minimizing or tabbing out of the task manager while it's running

Or, better way. Grab hwinfo64 and run it, watch for gpu usage

yea i minimized task manager and it staying at 1%

i close it and it goes right backj up to 30

or sometimes 40

wait no

its still minimized and it went back up

then it was just at 50

alrighjt ill try that after this full scan is done

livid idol
#

Task manager is awful for GPU stats. What it's actually reading is likely the lowest idle state and the percentage of active time in that.
Run hwinfo sensors and see what it says your GPU core load and effective clock are. That'll tell you how much it's actually using.

honest forge
livid idol
#

Ok so it's using that percentage but it's not a high enough load to actually make the gpu do anything

#

200-400MHz is what most GPUs idle at

honest forge
#

alright cool

livid idol
#

A 3080 under load would reach 2000+

#

I'd guess that some background program is using a little of the idle time for animations or something. Apps like Razer Synapse and iCue do that.

honest forge
#

i had it minimized and just opened it back up and it was at 1700

#

then dropped right back down the 3 or 400

livid idol
#

The animation of it opening will give it a very short load

honest forge
#

ah okay

#

Windows defender plus an ad blocker

#

I don't pay for AV any more, defender is actually good now

#

Not like on win 8

honest forge
#

oh alright cool

#

yea i have nord vpn and i have the browser settings enabled

#

and i have ublock on

livid idol
#

Perfect

honest forge
#

only thing is ill be honest i do a fair bit of cheesing in games and get most of them from paid reputable sources but just to be sure what are some things i should look out for

#

any detections from windows defender or somethign

livid idol
#

I don't know any specifics about tools like that but generally AV are good at figuring out when an app has more access than normal and it'll flag it.

honest forge
#

yea most flags i see are like gamehack or dll injector

odd siren
#

You can use an antivirus trial or month subscription to do a full system and power virus scan

#

But otherwise a full windows scan is pretty solid

livid idol
#

Even if it's not a program that it specifically recognizes, the heuristics matching is good. Basically it says "hmm, this looks similar to this known virus, better flag it"

odd siren
#

Statistically windows is something like, 99% reliable when they measured it a couple years ago, as long as it has internet access

#

Defender is useless without internet

livid idol
#

But yes 60% offline

odd siren
#

98.8

#

I was pretty close

#

Lol

dusky scroll
#

I think that It is offline too

livid idol
#

If the target is for an offline PC I'd use bitdefender

dusky scroll
#

Cool!

livid idol
#

97.8% offline detection

#

99.99% online

#

A few more false positives but acceptable

#

When will there be an update on the gpu comparison sheet?

fading glacier
#

i dont think any of us know that, that chart sint ours

Would you do it for a Scooby snack

#

@keen nacelle what would you say is the best value midrange-lower high range gpu right now? Friend is going to do a build and I haven't been keeping up with gpus much

keen nacelle
random walrus
keen nacelle
#

ah

random walrus
keen nacelle
#

diff definition of lower high end lol

random walrus
#

yeah sorry

keen nacelle
#

total budget?

random walrus
#

could go higher than a 6700xt but that was my default value choice

random walrus
#

most intensive games played would probably be baldurs gate and elden ring. not a competitive gamer

keen nacelle
#

wifi not needed?

random walrus
#

I added a pcie card

keen nacelle
#

alr

#

give me a lil bit

random walrus
#

Used could also maybe be an option but they're slightly iffy on it

keen nacelle
#

thats new ^

random walrus
#

thx

keen nacelle
random walrus
#

so the answer is basically 'amd' lol

keen nacelle
#

pretty much lmao

#

aside from used/refurb

#

oh wait

#

one second

random walrus
#

I don't think they need any of the nvidia features anyways

keen nacelle
#

oh nvm

#

6900xt was $400 refurb

#

but oos

#

cheapest nvidia gpu id buy new is 4070 super imo

#

honestly not bad https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Graphics-WINDFORCE-GV-N3080EAGLE-12GD/dp/B09QFBHJFX/ref=sr_1_31? amazon warehouse 3080 12gb for $460

ima dm you the long link

random walrus
keen nacelle
#

if you want it that is

#

it doesnt show amazon warehouse link w/o long link

random walrus
#

yeah feel free to dm

random walrus
#

anything past that feels a little overkill to me, other than 6800 which is $350 used

keen nacelle
#

how much is a 3070/2080 ti/3060 ti, anything around there?

#

3070 ti for 300 isnt bad

random walrus
#

3060ti is 240

#

non-waterblocked 2080ti is 300

#

3070 280

keen nacelle
#

id try for something with 12gb or more of vram if possible

random walrus
#

Yeah I was thinking 10+

#

wait 3070Ti is only 8gb

#

uuuuugh

#

275 6700xt

#

Probably going for a 6700xt or 6750xt then.

olive bobcat
random walrus
#

I wasn't seeing any that low

#

was only looking on ebay *buy now listings though

olive bobcat
random walrus
#

Ok, probably just shifting supply then

#

There's a waterblocked one for 230 rn

olive bobcat
random walrus
#

actually other than vram (1gb) 2080ti is better than 6700xt huh

olive bobcat
#

Ye

random walrus
#

oh an 6750xt as well

olive bobcat
#

2080ti is my budget build card
It’ll last till I get my 4090

random walrus
#

imma bit iffy on the blower 2080tis though

#

seems loud

#

320 for a normal cooler

olive bobcat
#

1080ti isn’t a bad choice tho either

random walrus
#

lower than I'd like to go

#

aiming for 1440p

olive bobcat
#

Find those for $140-180

#

Ah

#

3070s are around the same

#

Just missing 3gb of vram

vital oriole
#

it would matter tbf

olive bobcat
#

It do

vital oriole
#

it wouldn't*

#

my bad

#

8gb is perfectly fine

#

either way these two gpus perform the same

#

with the plus on 30 series being dlss

#

wait, 2080ti does have dlss too

#

also my bad

#

i personally still would prefer the newer gpu even if it has less vram, cuz in this context you don't lose anything much

random walrus
vital oriole
#

at least 12gb+ is the standard for midrange and up these days

vapid thorn
#

So I was recently going to purchase the 4090 on nvidia website because it showed it was back in stock the other day and was waiting till today and its back out of stock will the 4080 super run 4k well?

olive bobcat
fading glacier
#

4080s should be 30% less powerful

#

If 4090 will get you 100fps on 4k, tjen 4080s around 70fps as an example... aside from that both can do 4k pretty well

random walrus
#

I wonder how lucky you gotta be to get your hands on both of these cards

IMG_7807.png
#

Or I guess maybe how good of a bot system you have

odd siren
#

I know a guy with one

#

They look good

Apparently terrible for warranty claims if they have cooling problems tho
