    Part of the issue, in that particular case, seems to stem from nvidia not actually utilizing any of the monitoring of the sense pins to do proper load balancing. Cable/connector spec is rated for 660w by Molex (600w certified by Nvidia), 5090 stock TDP is 575w. Real tight margins... Basically, 5090 should have two connectors with proper load balancing.

    Best I've been able to get out of my 4090 is +210 Core and +2000(max allowed) Memory. That's with 135% PL and it draws 475-530w, turning my cooling into heating. Water temp gets to 40C just after the GPU waterblock. This is my "I need to render as many frames as physically possible by the hardware" preset... Mostly for VR lol. My daily for everything else is undervolted with a curve (boosts to 2750 core) at 950mV and +2000 on memory; this results in ~350w load. The reduction in performance (~10-15%) is is well worth ~30% reduction in power draw. Water temp 31C after GPU waterblock.

    Had a couple days to play around with J and now with K. While clarity and shimmer are improved significantly, I still have some pretty egregious ghosting. Almost looks like aircraft is training smoke when looking at other aircraft against ground terrain. Didn't notice it initially as against the sky it doesn't seem to happen or isn't nearly as noticeable. This is on Q3 with VD using AV1+Godlike preset. DCS settings DLSS Quality.

    Would be interested to see if Pimax is doing telemetry/data collection in the background that defender is flagging.

    I believe, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but DCS defaults to MT from the launcher.

    With the link, I've tried two cables, both unofficial and neither read above 2.9Gbps. Never tried official cable. For clarity, I would try bump render resolution in QuestLink to 1.3-1.5 and in quest debug tools up the encoding bitrate, force somewhere between 400-800 (will depend on your hardware). Think someone described this process above. I honestly haven't messed around too much with the link as I got better results with Virtual Desktop using AV1 encoder at 200mbps. Not sure what you mean by posting a link to one, but AV1 encoding is part of Virtual Desktop, along with HEVC, h264+ etc. I also have my headset connected via Ethernet instead of wireless to eliminate any issues with a wireless connection. I had occasional hiccups over wireless even on WiFi 6E, but plenty of folks here don't have issues (some have dedicated 6E routers).

    A refreshingly interesting look at the 5080 launch. Not a 5080 review.
  8. EightyDuce
    At that price might as well buy the 5080, get somewhat newer architecture, better ray tracing and DLSS4.
  9. EightyDuce
    Reviews going live and as expected, lackluster boost over 7900xtx or 4080.
  10. EightyDuce
    Recently leaked from Igor's labs. Alleged 7-10% uplift 5080 from 7900xtx. This is at 1440p not 4K.

    Early 5080 performance leaks. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/zK6gC4QigQ

    You're gonna have to wait at least 3 more days, as 5090 doesnt go on sale until 30th.
  13. EightyDuce
    Yeah, that's the PTC branch.

    MCR can be kind of a mixed bag. Early BIOS versions had issues when overclocking with MCR and power down mode enabled because memory not re-train memory where there is obvious instability; it would basically haliculate that the settings are fine and try to boot when they obviously aren't. It's pretty much been a non-issue, at least for asus boards, for a few BIOS updates now, though some keep power down mode disabled because it has a weird interaction with some memory latency benchmarks. On my system I keep MCR on and PDM off. But as always, every BIOS update has the potential to introduce problems into an otherwise working system, usually give it a week or two before updating. You can try a newer BIOS, save your settings (good chance you lose your saved profiles on update) and make sure you have a copy of your old BIOS if you see a regression in performance. Not sure if you have an EXPO kit or XMP, but some boards don't train resistances well (or ay all) on XMP kits on AMD. EXPO seems to do better with that; not an issue if you're not overclocking, but if you start pushing it may.

    Long initial boot is likely memory training. If memory context restore is enabled in BIOS, then subsequent boots will be significantly shorter. Worth checking if your memory is on the board QVL. I recently upgraded from 7800X3D to 9800X3D. My first boot and memory training was several minutes, significantly longer than on 7800X3D. Subsequent boots are under 20 seconds, with memory context restore enabled. That being said, there is potential issue being reported with 9800X3D and latest Asus 1.2.0.3 AGESA based bios causing 00/Red LED on boot. If you are experiencing long boot/training times on every boot even with memory cotext restore enabled, I would update to the latest bios, take a look at your RAM again to see if it's on QVL for the motherboard, check EXPO enabled, and if all fails, return to stock and see if long boot continues as it can be indicative of unstable memory (if overclocked).

    So I've tried DLSS 4 with a couple if games now, mostly UEVR, and DLSS 4 produced better visuals, however, performance consistently took a bit of a hit when compared to previous version. Still worth it IMO.

    If I remember right it's what mine was. Max Q3 can push is 960mbps anyway. Depending on your hardware you may or may not be able to encode/decode at that rate; I started at 400 and stopped at 800. Then switched to VD lol...

    The reason for pricing is simple (over-generalizing here) supply and demand. Demand remains fairly high, however supply is dropping off since it is an outgoing generation. Most of the orders for die wafers from TSMC are put in months if not a year in advance with a pre-determined prdouction run amount in mind. It makes no sense to put in orders for older chips that eat up capacity for new wafers and would later canibalize sales of 50XX series. Not really a conspiracy, just simple business.

    Pretty sure the 512Gb is the only version of Q3 that is widly available at retail. The 128Gb is now only available second hand, unless you manage to find some old stock and of those i was able to find were more expensive than 512Gb. At least in the US.

    About the same as the Asus 4090 Strix which was $2499... $700 above the FE MSRP. Astral the top-end model from Asus that replaced Strix. Pricing pretty much in line with last years model.

    Good stuff. You definitely need to take your time. Took me about a week of messing with everything to kind of dial things in; especially with Virtual Desktop in the mix. If you're going DLSS route, I would recommend trying new DLSS 4 dll with Profile J (transformer), seems to help with clarity over previous G, E, F profiles.
  22. EightyDuce
    Its definitely geared more towards AI productivity, given the amount of VRAM vs actual processing power/speed.
  23. EightyDuce
    Potentially not, at least the hardware wasn't removed. May have only removed/changed the register address. I guess we will see with updates. As far as use of liquid metal, shouldn't have any bearing on it. Follow typical LM precautions to make sure it doesn't escape the main die surface.

    I'll have to turn the overlay back on next time, but by just visual feels, its buttery smooth.
  25. EightyDuce
    I don't know if it's a placebo effect, but definetly seems to have knocked down much of the motion artifacts, actually kind if impressive.
