The game port is a device port that was found on IBM PC compatible and other computer systems throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It was the traditional connector for joystick input, and occasionally MIDI devices, until made obsolete by USB in the late 1990s.
Originally located on a dedicated Game Control Adapter expansion card, the game port was la...

#

Just make sure you choose a reputable seller

silver sparrow
#

their buyer protection imo is unmatched

#

as long as you pay attention to the listing that is

dusk knot
#

Yeah..

velvet summit
#

their buyer protection so good that sellers hate it ong

#

Only use PayPal

fervent stump
silver sparrow
#

buyer protection so good you could legit screw over the seller on a normal purchase

Like sent a bad gpu

and if it's too good to be true, then it probably is

EX gamer???

@fervent stump legit as long as it doesnt say for parts, or doesnt say it doesnt work in the desc, ebay will give you back your money, and theres a good chance you wont even need to send the product back

you can easily be hit with a scam if you DONT check the seller's history/info

its wild

silver sparrow
#

if you follow really stupid sketchy instructions you get scammed, if you click on the sketchy bank link about your bank account getting hacked you get scammed. if you buy a listing that litterally says BOX ONLY, expecting there to be a GPU in it, your a bozo

#

I've seen scams from accounts with reviews padded from spam bots. Seller history and info isn't a guarantee tell anymore

rancid juniper
#

some dude the other day bought a cheap pc build from amazon only to realize it was scam when it showed the shipping info

#

glad they took action quick when we called it out

silver sparrow
#

just dont go outside of paypal when paying and make sure to go through the entire desc, before purchasing

#

how not to get scammed 101

I've seen scam listings where the only tell is that the description for the item is copy and pasted from an online store's description. Had a seller history and reviews and everything

as far as i know, as long as you went through paypal you can get your money back for the item not being as described

Maybe more common on 4090s cause more people bought them

mortal grail

Nope

More common due to higher load

Less resistance to total draw

Isn’t 3090 ti more power hungry

Yes

Nope

600

What 💀

Eh, depends on vBIOS

What was nvidia doing with that

3090 Ti's are the highest power cards from Nvidia to date

It happens. But tbh my point would've still stood had you not done goof. Comparing apples and oranges does not help without context. If someone is talking about averages, then only give averages unless more context is provided.

Well, flies are technically harmless but they could carry diseases

mortal grail

Like it really does draw up towards 600W

velvet summit

Mainly a concern if they contact your food, but it's fine if they contact you usually

Since your skin is a protective barrier

This is more like me with wasps or hornets though

Maybe you have a phobia of them

GA102 is Power limited almost always

velvet summit
mortal grail
#

AD102 is voltage limited and rarely scales to power up at 600W actual

But yet it's accepted sense that a 4090 is 600? This is why I make suggestions on peak these days

Due to the cold

"Peak" for most people also tends not to think about quick transients. PSUs like to handle quick transients differently, so it's a bit hard to give context in that sense. Im pretty sure this was in the context of cables as well. Tbh my first thought would not have been to give quick transient numbers without context. Like Im not denying transients is a fun topic and all, I just dont think it was the correct thing to give at the time.

#

This is why a lot of psus early on in ampere were tripping out despite the recommendations from nvidia

fervent stump
mortal grail
#

The current chart makes it a bit more obvious

#

This is all in 20ms intervals btw

#

All able to be detected by psus

#

The shorter interval runs will go higher than this and breach 600 easily, but are ignored

north crescent
mortal grail
#

Yes

#

And 3090Ti's were melting too

#

Whether or not they still? Schrodinger has that answer

#

But the earliest example I remember was a 3090 Ti FTW3

#

Wondering if I can find the original

north crescent
#

Wonder if 3090Ti melted as often as ada. Dont really recall anyone comparing tolerances between 12p / 12vhpwr

mortal grail
#

It didn't, but most didn't jump on 3090 Ti

It's hard to find cases

Not a case of it

But a demonstration of the similarities

I'm almost certain I remember a post about this, but the particular about the 4090 is it adds the sense pins

The 3090 ti however is still native less sense

Before the 4090 came out

Found two in like Nov 2022

mortal grail
#

3090 ti?

#

Wtf this was 2022

#

It took them a year to make this all resolved and force an answer out of nvidia for it

#

"Resolved" it's still an ongoing problem with v1.1 12vhpwr

#

What a joke

#

I never realised it was this well documented

#

This is before the 4090 even released

north crescent
#

Ah wait I forgor 4090 release date

mortal grail
#

Bottom left is in fact a FTW3 3090 TI in thermal imaging

Oh sorry it's a psu

Looked like it at first

craggy shoal

So the bend was already established and FA'd before the 4090 even came out

#

But not the terminal and fitment

#

Insane

mortal grail
#

Yeah october 12th

#

So this also predates review samples

#

For 4090's

#

It's beyond 2 weeks

north crescent
#

It was 4090 posts I found lol. Maybe I should remember release dates

mortal grail
#

That's all good

#

We found at least one

#

And a definite one lol

mortal grail
#

Ah

#

@north crescent

#

I might be blowing smoke on the EVGA one I thought I remembered

#

The shipped adapter for the 3090Ti doesn't have the sense pins

#

Rather

#

They just stuck a different version of the 3090 one in

#

But the GPU itself does

#

Jump to 3:06

#

So what it is,* is I'm probably misremembering the GN vid from earlier, which despite this does show that 3090Ti's could demonstrate the issue

#

But my recollection of an in the wild example is probably wrong mb

#

Cos the 12vhpwr with no sense didn't have the same problem

#

The adapters and cables

#

They did melt or short but not nearly to the same extent as 4090's did, and usually much worse

#

Or...maybe not...

gentle canyon
#

is there a chart of that for 6950

mortal grail
#

Not sure

#

I believe the 6950 is much worse esp. with aibs

gentle canyon
#

3090ti was more power hungry than 6950 right

mortal grail
#

Depends on the vbios

#

3090 Ti can ultimately do 1000W+ if you allow it to (Less other limits) but iirc, Navi 21 tops out at like, 700, 800W ambient?

#

With MPT

mortal grail
#

Notice just how much more violent the power is

mortal grail
#

And this

#

Notice that the XTX is just way more violent in the way it demands power

#

4090 looks worse than it is

#

You compare the current

mortal grail
#

And to this

#

XTX is an incredibly power violent card

#

Which is why I just flat consider it a 500-550W card

fervent stump
fresh nova
# fervent stump What’s the difference between strix 4090 and FE 4090 (examples)

One has 3 fans & a huge cooler, the other has two fans & the Nvidia standard cooling.
The Strix is clocked at a higher speed & likely has a higher power limit, BUT the FE is perfectly fine for the everyday user & actually if you hook an A/C up to the FE card since it's almost all metal it takes a long, long time to heat soak.

#

My choice would be the Founder card over strix.

#

However, many many people would prefer the Strix.
I just have used both Strix & Founders cards & really like the Founders cards.

Putting out fires with.. gasoline?

craggy shoal

elfin mural

very likely

velvet summit

Because the hydrocarbons put a protective layer over the metal, and also snuffs out the flames from the metal fire due to it burning

The problem with using gasoline to stop metal fires is that it's not 100% reliable at stopping metal fires, and in the process of doing so, you have now caused a class b fire

I wish we'd stop chasing memes and scale graphics back so games run smoothly

craggy shoal
#

I wish GPU prices were normal again. That's the real problem

velvet summit
# fervent stump Just makes graphics better?

Not exactly

Dlss has a slight bit of added latency (pretty much none, especially compared to frame gen)
But it also technically doesn't improve the graphics, because what you use with it really is just rendering the game at say 720p, then it uses an algorithm to upscale it to say 4k

unreal trail
#

target a framerate and build the game around it

velvet summit
#

So that you can play in 4k smoothly

unreal trail
#

scale it so that the game never drops below that targeted framerate

#

otherwise, go home and get a new job

fervent stump
velvet summit
#

If you're playing on a 4080s, at 1440p, I doubt you would notice a difference

unreal trail
#

4k textures aren't doing anybody any favors tbh

#

one 2048x2048 texture is high res enough to map out an entire character model if your graphics artist is any good\

fervent stump
fervent stump
#

Anyways I’m going to sleep now since I don’t feel well

last mango
#

It's not like it's gonna lag hard with dlss on

#

It depends on your hardware and the monitor you are using

#

High end? You won't notice the lag is there. Just increased frame rates

It's fun when Intel convinces you to switch platforms and apparently Zen 5 isn't so great either but you don't want to be two years behind on a 7000-series CPU

#

They better make a 9800X3D lol

supposedly the crap performance of ryzen 9000 is mostly down to the power limits being so low

opaque sedge

elfin mural

amd focused so much on efficiency on 9000

chasing efficiency is fine but I think they overdid it

just make sure you get hynix ddr5

not much else matters

ram still matters on x3d

not as much as on normal chips but it's not 0

#

yeah exactly they could have balanced it better than they did

#

I think if they went for 10% perf gain with increased efficiency nobody would complain after all this intel stuff

#

but 1% perf gain with maximum efficiency people are gonna complain

#

cause it's 1% perf gain

spark halo
#

gaining 10 yards to lose 20 in another doesn't mean success.

grand kernel
#

huh

spark halo
#

basically saying 10% performance gain to lose 20% efficiency

grand kernel
#

I mean right now it seems you can gain 15-20% with similar efficiency to current gen

#

if it was a little more performant and a little more efficient it would have been better than literally just the same performance

#

how much does the efficiency really matter when everyone's first impression of your product is "oh same performance as last gen don't buy it last gen is better value"

#

it's not like amd was struggling on the efficiency front to begin with

the engine starts to break down if you're uncapped above 300 ish

elfin mural

amd should've forced higher PL with 9000

grand kernel
#

all you can really do is aim to maximize smoothness at your frame cap

elfin mural
#

because stock vs stock looks bleh

grand kernel
#

just botched stock settings

elfin mural
#

if it can run at the same power limit all while offering 10-20% extra perf

grand kernel
#

feels like an overreaction to intel

elfin mural
#

then that means it's doing the same things more efficiently

grand kernel
#

yeah iirc pbo was having it hit like 120w

elfin mural
#

efficiency just means how much something can do in a given limit

#

amd being too paranoid xd

grand kernel
#

I haven't owned a 7700x so I'm not 100% sure but I feel like 120w is lower than 7700x pbo
