btw rumor has it that the refresh of raptor lake will have it. i am hoping thats the case so i plan on buying retail for now. and rebuy refresh since i cant get good info on es chips. i appreciate everyone's help. if refresh doesnt have it i might come back and try an es chip

Well I have bought ES chips in the past* and they have run comparatively the same as retail but I bought versions that people specifically mentioned were the versions you wanted because they were very new and close to production samples. I know there are some early samples you don't want, which...

I need help with figuring out what Raptor Lake ES chips still have a functional DLVR and are there any ITX motherboards that have the setting for it to work? From the report below, ASUS has confirmed that some ES chips still have a functional DLVR but never specified which version have it. They...

OMG, you clearly did not read what I said and failed to understand CPU frequency and power draw scaling. I am not justifying anything. I simply explained how CPU frequency and power draw scales and why the charts show what they show and what the charts aren't showing unless you look very closely...

BTW, I was looking at the new techpowerup review of the 7950X3D and at the efficiency page. The 7950X3D is surprising efficient and uses a lot less power than the 13900K but they don't tell you what the frequency/voltage of the CPUs were running during the test. If 7950X3D was running at lets...

I think my families house qualifies for having great internet since it has 1Gbps/1Gbps fiber so more than enough for many streams lawls. It depends on where I am stream of course so not sure. Depending on the area my 4G phone gets either great or terrible upload but if/when I do this I will be...

what I have to do is 4k 120hz so from what you said quicksync is too slow. But Nvidia GPUs should be plenty fast enough from what I have seen. I have seen comparison showing h.265 having better image quality than AV1 but I have scene conflicting reports that AV1 uses the same bandwidth as h.265...

btw as i said before i am going to be running custom settings so 13900 probably will offer better performance per watt due to offering more cores and more e cores

Yes that line and the first line lol. I bolded them for you ^-^ I'll check those tests out later but the TechPowerUp review on this and others have only limited the clock settings or worse only power limits and didn't adjust voltages and a few other key adjustments. Intels turbo boost voltages...

Yea, I have seen some amazing comparison videos on comparing these things. NVENC used to suck but now its comparable to Intel Quicksync. AMDs is very bad still for a variety of reason. You mentioned x264 but I was planning on using x265 because they will offer higher quality at same bit rate or...

Interesting, per the link it says Ampere uses 7th gen but you are correct they are almost the same just some minor AV1 support. What are these? I have never heard of them. 1) enable look ahead 2) psycho visual tuning I remember in the past doing a deep dive into NVENC vs quick sync vs CPU...

as i clearly said no AMD so that won't work for the reasons above

I have not found answers to this and need help understanding how NVENC streams work and what they demand from the GPU in regards to load/utilization. So if I had 2 or 3 GoPros recording and being sent to my PC and processed and uploaded through OBS to Youtube/Odysee (Note, I would be using a...

I was going to get a miniPC but sadly there are a few issues. 1) Intel has released a new microcode that may block all undervolting on Adlher lake and Raptor lake CPUs except on K processors and even on those it may be blocked. If manufacturer does not unlock the features. So most miniPCs that...
