    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Xbox game bar- already included by default in Windows 10 and 11 and is not uninstallable without extensive digging. AMD chipset drivers- already installed to make your system function properly. Tell me where the extra is. I would not recommend anyone to buy a 16-core v-cache CPU because there...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    You mean performance issues that existed and has since been resolved? Performance issues that has come up time and time again ever since the advent of Hyperthreading and logical cores? When Hyperthreading and Bulldozer were released, there was a need for drivers to tell the scheduler to fill...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Please, let me know how well your system runs without graphics card drivers. They should just work with the OS and DirectX or OpenGL, right? They shouldn't ever need to be updated to resolve performance issues. That's how ridiculous your argument is. You're making a mountain out of a molehill...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    I don't have one and for my use case (primarily gaming, no productivity) I would get a 7800X3D. But I do recognize the benefits of a 7950X3D and your primary criticism of it is a non-issue at this point in time. It just doesn't make sense to me why you (and others) hate the idea of using...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    You'll get worse productivity than the split core version and worrying about scheduling is largely a thing of the past. Despite how many times that's been repeated in this thread you still don't seem to get it. Current gen consoles are 8 cores utilizing Zen 2 architecture. Why haven't we fully...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    And games are dependent on good graphics card drivers to make them run smoothly and efficiently. I don't see the problem here for that niche gamer that has a hobby on the side and doesn't want multiple systems. The 7950X3D also serves as the halo product for gamers for AMD. It might not matter...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Why in the hell is that a problem? It's not like the software is adding overhead like DRM does. And if you think about it, everything a human uses in modern computing requires underlying software to run it. You have the bios software that tells the OS what it's interacting with. Drivers tell...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    While that could be true, the other trend I've seen is anything that can be massively paralleled ends up getting offloaded to the GPU or something similar. We might end up seeing embedded chiplets in the CPU package, motherboard, or auxiliary card for the sole purpose of AI upscaling, path...

    Many full copper radiators aren't full copper- Igor's Lab

    Mostly stayed out of that fan fiasco, and I don't see them gaining much from this. Unless they were getting backroom kickbacks from some radiator manufacturers to investigate others. Brass isn't the issue as basically every fitting is brass (sometimes nickel plated). It's the false...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Unless something massively changes in game coding, I don't see a 16-core Vcache CPU making sense. It might make some sense if you're running several virtual computers on the same machine as a host and have thin clients, but that really only works in a home scenario and not many people would go...

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    That's where the second part comes in. If I'm trying to be legitimate, I'm trying to support the makers. These keys almost definitely do not support Microsoft and just support opportunists, to put it in a friendly term.

    Many full copper radiators aren't full copper- Igor's Lab

    Apparently Igor's lab did a material analysis of a few radiators and found that many of them advertised as full copper actually had brass channels. The most glaring violation IMO were Bykski using leaded solder in addition to brass channels...

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    My view of it is if I'm not paying for legitimate keys, I would rather just use one of the hack activation methods. If I want to pay to support a product, the money should be going to the makers/developers of said product. That doesn't appear to be the case in these grey market keys.

    ATX 3.0 PSU - GPU Overclocking Stability

    It's usually easy to tell when transient spikes are the problem. Your entire computer shuts down in that case. Overclock instability doesn't lead to a shutdown normally.

    [dead]7800X3D Newegg Combos. As low as $330 with some keycaps.

    I'm seeing $598 with 32gb of RAM. Was the combo without RAM previously and that combo now no longer exists?

    7900 XTX with 25 Waterblocks on eBay

    All the mini-blocks are in parallel to the main block so it most likely is less restrictive than a standard GPU block. At the very least, it will be less restrictive than just the CPU block on its own.

    Am I pushing it with 750W and RTX 4090

    I don't think the 1200w version was on sale at the time I was looking last night. Definitely no reason to not spend an extra $10 for 200 watts, especially since the 1000w version has gone back to its non-sale price of $260. I wouldn't worry too much about ATX 3.0 vs 3.1. The main difference is...

    Am I pushing it with 750W and RTX 4090

    What's your budget? If you're okay with pricematching, you can get Best Buy to pricematch to Microcenter the MSI MPG A850G for $105 with a potential $10 mail-in rebate (don't confuse it with the MAG GL that's lower quality). 1000 watt version is $150, no MIR. Personally I would go for the be...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    I think you missed the point. The recess is forced to be there by design because the PCB is much smaller than the heatsink. The PCB is standard height and short; note the relation of where the notch is to the L bracket and the passthrough section of the heatsink. In fact, all of Gigabyte's RTX...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Why would they? It's not like the power connector is directly connected to the chip. AIBs are free to implement their own PCB design should they so choose to, which they often do usually for beefier overclocking capabilities. Doubtful, at least in the pic you provided. The heatsink is much...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Literally just posted here: Any 12VHPWR connector can overheat with a high enough power draw and improper seating. By now most new cards that use the 12x6+4 connector should be shipping with the 12V-2x6 connector rather than the 12VHPWR, especially nVidia ones. It is possible some AIBs would...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Transient spikes don't matter as the primary consideration behind what a cable/connector can handle is how much heat it can passively dissipate. The spikes are not high enough for long enough to create a significant amount of heat, which is why only average amperage matters. In the new power...

    An Important Update about Riot’s Future

    That's probably the biggest difference there. The first LoL tournament in 2011 had a pool of $99,500 and today it's regularly over $2 million (peak of $6.45 million in 2018). In fact it's been almost regularly over $2 million since 2012, which I'm sure accounted for a lot of the success. DOTA...

    An Important Update about Riot’s Future

    Game Theory probably missed that, not too surprising. I guess something about League of Legends or the timing of it coinciding with the rise in game streaming made it the big one in the industry. Maybe people enjoy watching team MOBAs rather than FPS?

    An Important Update about Riot’s Future

    They were the first to sponsor and host their own tournaments as well as making tournaments a core part of their game. Starcraft, Quake, and CS were all hosted by third parties. With the commitment, players were assured that their time and effort wouldn't be wasted due to the whims of a third...

    Need replacement for Seasonic TX-850 with better OCP for 3090

    My Seasonic-built CoolerMaster V1000 (circa 2012 or so) was very rarely tripping with my GTX 1080ti. About once every few months. I chalked that up to RAM/CPU overclock instability. Fast forward and I got a 3080ti, and it was tripping every time I got in game unless I undervolted the 3080ti...

    Billy Mitchell Now Suing Karl Jobst

    As I said above, for this case the settlement was not due to costs but rather TG's lawyer screwing up big time. As for a large corporation using a big lawsuit to intimidate a small person, that already happens in the current system. Actually I would argue that the current system forces the...

    Billy Mitchell Now Suing Karl Jobst

    What actually happened was TG's lawyer got caught contacting Billy's witnesses and was about to be held in contempt of the court for witness tampering/intimidation. It's in the comments of Karl's video and it is curious as to why Karl neglected to mention that. This should have been a slam dunk...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Alright, I'll put words in your mouth this time. So basically you're saying it's okay for electrical connectors to be designed such that only in perfect conditions will they not melt and as long as they only melt and don't burn it's perfectly acceptable. And by extension, that goes for...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    I'm pretty sure it will be more clearance recommendations rather than requirements. The sense pins should disengage and limit power if the connection wasn't good. The PSU manufacturers will still claim requirements though because they don't know whether you're using a GPU with the 12VHPWR...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Neither of us said anything about what an average defect rate should be. Stop putting words in our mouths. If the connector was robustly designed, it should not have burned unless it was modified, physically damaged, or overloaded. The burn rate should have been 0, which it clearly was not. 1...

    New Youtube anti-adblock tactic- being a resource hog- debunked, was Adblock issue

    I'll update the OP, found the article. According to them it was specific to an update in Adblock and Adblock Plus. Ublock and others did not suffer from the same problem. I do not fault Youtube for being a for-profit company. I do fault them for focusing on short term gains at the expense of...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    There is a reason why engineering controls (connector design) is placed higher than administrative controls (teaching people to properly plug things in) in effectiveness. Whenever you have the possibility of taking human error out of the equation, you should do so. And they did so (presumably)...

    worth it to wait for ATX 3.1 PSU?

    No drawbacks, the number of connections is for all intents and purposes identical: 6 12v lines and 10 ground lines (4 sense) on the PSU side vs 6 12v and 8 ground (2 sense) lines on the 12VHPWR connector. The 12VHPWR just specifies thicker cables for the 600 watt rating rather than the 350 watt...
