DF also leaves out the fact that the worst of the stutter is on Koboh in the open map section with Pylon's etc... I saw very little stutter on the other planets or even some of the other quest areas on Koboh, there was some on Coruscant. I thoroughly enjoyed the game despite it's issues. I do...

Made another run. This is basically a run to maximize graphics score just for fun and 3DMark HOF has a category for just the graphics score. Anyway, this was using the Elmor EVC2 to bump core voltage to 1.15v resulting in 700-750w of power. (yep, that much) reBar forced and only 8 e cores...

Even this bios limits to 400w? https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/235868/evga-rtx3090-24576-210329-1 I'd run that before trying to hardware mod.

It's likely related to this. I have 2 Win11 installs. One is my bloated up daily driver, the other is a bare bones install just for benching. The bench OS scores quite a bit higher (like maybe 500pts). It all adds up. The two big gains I already mentioned, but there are quite a few other...

Yea that won't hurt the card at all.

Memory and core both contribute in PR. Every bin (15mhz) is around 50-75pts. Memory is maybe 50pts for every +100, I can't remember the exact numbers when I tested. Something like that. Speedway OTOH is very heavily memory bottlenecked. Every bin on the core is only like 20pts. Yes the...

There are a couple of tweaks that make big gains. One is the same as 30 series, which is to force reBar with Nvidia Profile Inspector. The other is to flash the Galax HOF bios. That bios holds significantly higher effective clocks than any of the other stock bios. Both of these tweaks are...

I'd probably take the working FTW3 and just buy a different waterblock for it. Not ideal, but I wouldn't want to give up the FTW3 for a XC3. Performance difference isn't very big as others have said, but I wouldn't want to downgrade like that. EVGA's support is really poor at this point. I...

This is my best score so far. I'm a little disappointed the 2Gb mem chips actually become less stable at lower temps, so I'm struggling to see much improvement with my chiller. This run is just ambient water though. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/32228027

That's definitely a dud. I've been game stable so far at an even 3Ghz. The highest I've been able to complete benchmarks is 3090 Mhz. Seems like most of them over on OCN are at least close to that. Some a little lower at 3045 or 3060 Mhz for benching. A small number that can go over 3100.

But he's using that technique that tanks effective clocks even on 30 series. It would be interesting to see how it behaves if you just flatten the curve at some point, but keep the original curve to the left like I showed a long time ago. From video, Alternate method...

It has been in stock briefly. I have one on the way.

Metro EE has been the most demanding on stability for me. It crashes when many of the other popular titles do not.

Yea Jay2Cents keeps talking about how NVidia may delay until next year, but there's no way they'll do that unless AMD is delaying also.

That's not unreasonable with the rad area you have. It takes a lot of cooling to keep temps low with these new GPUs. Do you have a water temp sensor?

I guess it depends on what you consider to be worthwhile. This is my 3080ti with completely stock settings, https://www.3dmark.com/pr/1642359 This is the same card, but running +150/+1200 core/mem and no power limit using the Galax 1kw bios. https://www.3dmark.com/pr/1642345 So about...

From what I've seen (and my own card), +120 to +150 core is usually stable depending on the game. My card seems stable in everything at +135 core, +1200 mem. Metro EE is the most unstable and will eventually crash above +135 core of the games I play (CP2077, FS2020, Metro EE, RDR2, Half Life...

Seems like the jump from 20 to 30 series was larger than 30%. Just looking at the average fps between the 2080ti and 3090, it appears to be in the 40-50% range for 4k (I get 45% from the chart at the bottom for 4k). https://www.techpowerup.com/review/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ftw3-ultra/28.html

When I tried the unlock on my 3080ti FTW3, I managed to get 121-122mh/s. But it's in a waterblock. Max mem temp was 64C.

Locked in what way? LHR? I'm not aware of any way to actually unlock it permanently.

I doubt we'll see miners grab a ton of additional cards. Mining profits are really low now. I've been mining with the cards I had on hand (didn't buy any specifically for mining), but shut it down due to the warmer weather. Net profits, after electricity when the A/C is working to remove the...

Ethereum difficutly has leveled off. People are no longer adding more cards for mining. Or at least the net result is no change. Some getting out while possibly others jumping in. https://etherscan.io/chart/difficulty

That's about right for default settings. Gotta love the marketing they do with these cards. I suspect the only real difference between your card and the OC version is the vBios. Your card has a default PL of 350w, but max of 480w just like the OC version. So in the end probably no real...

Maybe you should try running Port Royale. It's more GPU bound and less system dependent than Time Spy. Run it with the card at default. I would expect the score to be around 13k.

The best PR driver for me is still the older one that I ran above. Not a huge difference, but I usually get 50pts or so more with it. Not sure if it makes a difference in TS, etc...

23579 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/25005136 Admittedly with some cool morning air to help out.

New best, 23367 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/24460388

I'm not sure if I could get requested and effective that close together at these high voltages and clocks. I didn't check that time, but based on what I've seen on previous runs it was probably running ~2170 effective. What I've been doing is starting with a slightly steep VF curve and then...

Finally broke 23k with the Zotac. 23073 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/24228563

I guess that depends on what you consider to be sufficient cooling. I have a 3900x with a cheap Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black on it combined with a 3080ti FTW3 Hybrid running at 450w (configured as intake) and have not seen any cpu temps over 70C or so while gaming. It will hit 80C running...

I'm not very familiar with 3080 bios, but you could probably flash one from another manufacturer with a higher PL. For example, https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/225554/gigabyte-rtx3080-10240-200903-3 It needs to be a 2x8pin card though. Start here for how to flash and search this thread...

reBar doesn't seem to tank my cpu score much now. 22849 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/66724224?

I bought some decent b-die ram and managed to creep up a bit more. Keep chiseling away at it... 22704 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/23058304

The only issue I had was the VRAM isn't cooled quite as well as with the air cooler due to the heat spreader plate it uses (the theory anyway). Common observation, not just mine. Putting thermal pads under the backplate (this is a 3080ti) got it back to about where it was with the air cooler...

Probably need to increase MSVDD either with dip switches or classified tool. Most cards will perform better at 1093mv because of this. (My Zotac does) Falkentyne talks about it here, although referring to increasing NVVDD also, but same idea...

keep chipping away at it. 22552 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/64810967?

Are you sure reBar was enabled for that run? I had some odd trouble where on my 3090, enabling reBar just for 3DMark worked, but for my 3080ti I had to enable it globally. Also of interest is that I only see the slowdown in CPU score on TS, not TSE.

This is from my 3080ti machine, but confirms what you show above. reBar on with TS increase graphics a bit, but tanks the CPU score. https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/21885430/spy/21861232

That's a big drop too. My runs with with reBar off. I've just been turning it on for PR since most say it's the one that benefits.

Me likes this new KP 1kw bios (same Zotac 3090), Graphics: 22444 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/21865809 I actually had a slightly higher one (22468), but monitoring didn't work. Don't know if that counts or not, https://www.3dmark.com/spy/21865866 For reference only, this is my 3080ti running...
