It is actually a little bit lower than -90 in full load

#

Stock is like 3.15 at 100%

#

Id say the -70 is like 3.27 on average

upper rain
#

okay yeah that sounds about right

lone mango
#

-90 id say averages 3.3 at 100% but crashes when the load goes down because I play with a fps cap

upper rain
#

tragic

#

get an evc and fix all ur problems

Not sure how itx friendly that would be

#

Maybe the offset is lower on this card because the chip is pushed higher out of the box

#

Also no vram flicker at 2780

#

Thank you xfx

lone mango
#

so i guess technically 2778

rancid juniper
#

😳

#

i never had a gpu that can reach anywhere near 3ghz yet

#

i cant wait when they reach as high as 4ghz or even 5

lone mango
#

When I put -90 I didnt touch the frequency offset

#

Oh nvm

#

Because I am lowering the voltage for each frequency like pbo

#

Bro I keep forgetting

#

rdna 2 got me tripping

lone mango

#

Out of the box at least

rancid juniper

#

But when amd really wants to push the clocks they can go over it

#

For example 9070 xt would use like 330w but the 9070 uses a little over 2/3 of that

#

Do you guys know is the 12vhpwr plugs melting is still an issue with any manufacturers?

#

I literally installed a 5070 TODAY and noticed a funky spot on the plug

fresh timber
#

are they sutpid

fresh timber
lone mango
#

Headlines are going around of a 9070 xt that had a melted connector

trim flame
#

This is gonna sound wild

#

Can I dm you a picture and you tell me if you think it’s a trying to melt connector

lone mango
#

alr

trim flame
#

I can’t tell if it’s a blemish or the start of something horrid

royal crow
lone mango
royal crow
#

I meant girlfriend

lone mango
#

Yo thats crazy

#

@trim flame was it like that before you plugged it in

trim flame
#

I genuinely don’t know

#

I don’t think to inspect it prior since i had literally just gotten it out of the box

#

I could run fur mark and just watch it

lone mango
#

True

#

With a good connector you shouldnt need to inspect it

trim flame
#

But I feel like if it IS melting that’s just asking for disaster

lone mango
#

But that connector is something else

trim flame
#

Yeah it’s a squid kid connector

#

PCIE 6x2 to 12vhpwr

#

Just the normal ass adapter

#

PNY is generally good about quality control though right?

#

How bad of an idea is it to do the furmark thing

lone mango
#

Yeah I would trust them

#

That is ok to do

#

Because the card will just go to its power limit

#

Its not like furmark would make it run out of spec

#

It just hits the card really hard

#

But it stays within its limits

velvet summit
lone mango
#

So they basically made it worse over the years

#

I would get a new 12v cable

#

And maybe look at the graphics card connector too

lone mango
velvet summit
#

"men is like whiskey bro
when we grow older, we age"

trim flame
#

I left my panel off

#

touched it while it was on

#

it doesn't feel crazy hot or anything

#

I did notice it's pulling 275w though

#

Pretty sure these card are rated for 250

lone mango
#

oc models go above

trim flame
#

It is an oc model

lone mango
#

some 9070 xt models will use like 340w but the ref is 304

#

like how yours is 250 but 275

trim flame
#

Feel like if it was melting being under 100% load for 7 minutes would let me see smoke or a noticable surface change

#

This all started because I noticed my shaders taking 40 years to compile

#

and we've ended up here

#

That spot looks exactly the same I might just be paranoid

#

Should probably get a new one anyways though due to that blemish right?

trim flame
#

any shaders

hoary zodiac
#

Oh 💀

trim flame
#

It took 3 games of fortnite to stop compiling shaders

#

and the performance was ass LOL

#

It was NOT GOOD!

#

like 50% worse than my 3070ti

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

It's probably throttling

trim flame
#

That would be wild

#

why would it be throttling?

#

temps are 100% fine

#

like it's 82c right now under 100% load for 10 minutes in furmark

hoary zodiac
#

It could be power throttling if you've got the funny PL slider down

trim flame
#

I'd see that in furmark too though right?

#

average fps is 80 higher

hoary zodiac
#

It depends on your system's configuration

trim flame
#

Can you explain that

#

I'm an idiot but I'm interested

hoary zodiac
#

A lot of things can affect it

#

Windows power settings for one

trim flame
#

I keep that on balanced cause ryzen

hoary zodiac
#

eh?

#

ok

#

I mean if actual plastic's melted off the connector

#

Which is more common than it ought to be

#

That's a very real fire hazard

trim flame
#

Yeah for sure

#

That's why I'm blasting the hell out of it right now to see if it was an actual melting issue or if it's a molding blemish

#

I've been monitoring the spot while under 100% load, 275w and I haven't seen any further growth or discoloration

#

connector also doesn't feel hot at the base

fresh timber
#

to evreyone who says "this wont fly in college" youre a liar

#

EVERYTHING FLYS

#

I LEAVE CLASS EARLY

velvet summit
#

while in college/uni, it's not the professor's responsibility to make sure you learn

fresh timber
#

and thats why i enjoy college

#

i leaev class a hour early almost everyday 💀

velvet summit
#

because at that age, you're expected to be an adult and have a brain

fresh timber
#

monday i have c lass from 10-12:15
wensday is 10-11:45. i end up leaving a hour early everyday because the lecture ends alot sooner

velvet summit
#

and that's fine as long as you are able to do your coursework without needing external aids like AI or just straight up getting someone else to do it

fresh timber
#

after than, you just do homework

fresh timber

Anyone know if you can use the 12vhpwr cable with the two pcie plugs on the other end with any psu?

# trim flame Anyone know if you can use the 12vhpwr cable with the two pcie plugs on the othe...

I'd use the one that comes with your PSU or an equivalent replacement. I burned up two SSDs (only 250gb so at least it wasn't terrible) accidentally using a SATA power cable for a Thermaltake PSU on an Enermax PSU because they looked virtually identical. The problem was on the SSD side that the 12v & 3.3v were switched. I definitely wouldn't leave things up to chance for your GPU. If you have a multi-meter, you can look up the pinout for the 12vhpwr cable but you'd have to test that each of the cables within the 12vhpwr has the correct voltage on the device side--i.e., it's likely a mission to be sure

SPARKLE TITAN NOX now official Battlemage goes dark.  A few weeks ago we reported that Sparkle was working on a new TITAN graphics card. The company confirmed these rumors this week by announcing the TITAN NOX Edition, based on the Arc B580 “Battlemage” model. As mentioned in previous story, the TITAN B580 already comes in […]

Also im playing teardown rn on my 1060 i7 6700 pc and the cpu mem says 2340 and 4007, i assume this means the vram is full?

#

Since its 6gb

#

Using msi afterburner, is there a way to know how much vram and dram the game is taking

worn wave
lethal jasper

1650 super has 4gb of vram and if gpu memory is around 4007 then that’s indicating 4gb

could possibly be 2060 or 2070

tho I wouldn't consider that as likely as 1650 or 1660.

nocturne flicker
#

Says GTX on it

#

So 16 series

idle nexus
#

lol derp I missed that obvious clue

nocturne flicker
#

1650 also had no 8 pin cable required, so a 1660

#

Or 1660S

idle nexus

possibly 1660ti? Probably not

elfin mural
#

i got a 1660 super with a single fan before

#

but it was an asus phoenix

idle nexus
#

there are like 20+ Gigabyte GPUs similar to this one

#

if you count like 2070 Mini ITX V1 & V2 which ig there's really no reason why you would but

#

at least we know it's not a 1630 cuz that has no 6 or 8-pin connector at all

craggy shoal

Yeah I just need a 32GB 30-series just for AI

There are some Chinese GPUs that are made specifically for that I think

Super niche market though

9060xt?

dusk knot
#

Hello chat

lone mango
#

Yeah

worn wave
#

Yeah you might've been gpu bound or at least a similar amount of cpu and gpu bound

#

I was 100% cpu bound though on 5700x3d + 4070, high settings (except the cpu heavy ones)

#

I really hope they do some cpu optimizations cause the gpu perf seems quite good especially considering there's no forced upscaling or TAA

lone mango
#

I think maybe fsr put it to 100%

worn wave
#

Right cause that lowers gpu load

lone mango
#

I didnt notice a difference between medium and high

worn wave
#

I was running native res taa off and still cpu bottlenecked most of the time

lone mango
#

Yeah some settings are cpu heavy

#

The game tells you which but I do not remember which

#

Try medium if you want. I didn’t notice anything

worn wave
#

Yeah even turning those down I was still cpu limited to 110ish fps

lone mango
#

Oh damn

#

I was getting 120-140

worn wave
#

What

lone mango
#

Yup

worn wave
#

Hmm

lone mango
#

9600x is a little faster than 5700x3d

worn wave
#

Oh yeah that would make sense

#

Thought you had a slower cpu

#

My thought is maybe the am4 x3d in particular needed some extra optimization cause iirc I saw some Reddit threads about the 5700x3d and 5800x3d not doing too well

lone mango
#

I ised to have a 5600

dense locust
# unreal trail

it wouldnt give players a sense of pride and accomplishment

lone mango
#

Thats like half of the 9600x

lone mango
#

Some games the 5700x3d is pretty close to 9600x

#

Some the 9600x leads by a decent amount

worn wave
#

Yup

lone mango
#

This might be one of those

worn wave
#

Interestingly I wasn't really having stutters even though I was cpu bound so 100-110 fps still felt quite good

#

It had all 8 cores pegged at 4.05ghz or whatever the pbo max is for the 5700x3d

They'll troll the market even harder

The last time this stuff was rolled out was the 2008 crisis.

The US government is there to say they want to have some skin in the game for fabs that Intel wants to just pretend never happened. Also to pump the stock so somebody can do some insider trading before the economy blows and make out like a bandit

The problem is that they don't know what they're doing

I need that bot that tracks pelosi

wtf

#

Turtledove has to be on crack to write this

Turtledove should make a hoi4 mod

Alt his mods be like: Margret of Anjou inherited the throne of France and England and now France is a superpower

Also the Ottomans exist

Also in a weird series of events Robert E. Lee becomes anti-slavery, runs and wins on that platform in the CSA and proceeds to rally the entirety of the CSA public behind the cause because the Afrikaners tried to assassinate him, his family and like a hundred other people in the name of slavery

hoary zodiac

I mean

#

To be fair you read those books because they're insane

#

So the insane twists are on brand

#

How would that even work though from the perspective of the south

#

The landowners are not going to back that for sure

#

Just as insane as "What if Poland-Lithuania didn't get sabotaged by the nobility"

I want a proper book based off TNO from hoi4

hoary zodiac

There is more text in the mod than there is game

It'd be fun and there's enough lore for a book

They can literally write a book

worthy meteor

Exactly

hoary zodiac
#

That's the trend of hoi4 mods

worthy meteor
#

Instead of writing events they could write a book smh

That's more of a paradox trope

Don't remember

It's been a while

Since I've touched hoi4

#

I've been mostly playing RTW3 and EU4

nocturne flicker
#

TNO is more of a political simulator mod that slowly got more actual combat content

It's a cold war mod but something happens sometimes

But from a gameplay perspective

hoary zodiac
#

Not very compelling

#

I saw a bigweevil campaign on a vic 2 version of TNO

nocturne flicker

They've added actual combat mechanic usage in the past couple years

2wrw is still where the most combat actually happens

And then proxy wars in Asia and Africa

Oh

I kinda hope that hoi4 gets more sandbox gameplay

nocturne flicker
#

It has been a while

#

Also I am tired still

hoary zodiac
#

The game's way too railroaded for my taste

worthy meteor
#

It's like 15 years of content for Guangdong

#

It really doesn't need more updates rn lol

#

Like free Britain still doesn't have more than like 5 years of content

#

Same thing with Mexico

#

And Ukraine

There's potential there

worthy meteor

Vic 2 doesn't really do much for anyone but the biggest nations tbh

hoary zodiac
#

You can play as a minor nation

#

If you're in multiplayer

#

If you have a massive roster then it makes sense

nocturne flicker
worthy meteor
#

All the meta ways to play minor nations is to not be there anymore and get a port in China and use Chinese labor

hoary zodiac
#

But at that point the game is going to be really unstable

Because Victoria II

That's why I play EU4 more these days

#

I like tno when they have railroaded but open ended content

hoary zodiac
#

I still have to do a proper Jolof campaign

hoary zodiac

Because they get to tell a story at a consistent pace but still have something change depending on your decision

Vanilla multiplayer is fun

I like the steal navy mechanic

I'm fine with the peace deals as is tbh

#

Just need to give more points so you can fight over land more

hoary zodiac

I think they should allow for giving states to newly created puppets

Tbh it makes more sense as it is now than eu4 feeding puppets
