Probably I'm the last one to know this, but just in case someone comes across this issue: the GCC will override the fan settings in AMD Adrenaline (and other control apps like Afterburner) and sometimes cause this error message.
It took me 3 days to figure out what was happening and why my...
Oh yeah, it was a fine card and ran nice and cool. It was just plastic-y and needed a GPU support because it sagged a lot. But if you're on a really strict budget those cards are great, nothing wrong with it.
You won't get 100% out of either card at 1440p until you upgrade, if I had to choose between the two of those cards I would take the 6800 though no questions asked. $40 gets you 20-30% faster card.
Just be aware that 6800 is going to be huge, those XFX coolers are very large. The ASRock 6750 is...
Cold temperatures are not 30-40C. Cold temperatures are COLD (like -20C). I don't really care if the NAND performs slightly better at 70C, what I want is the drive to not throttle and cause stuttering which it definitely does at 70C average temps.
I bought one of these little guys to go on my OS drive which is right up against my GPU. Originally I had a different block-style heatsink on the drive and it was hovering around 70C when I was gaming, which is acceptable but far from ideal.
I just wanted to give it a try, as for $16 its not a...
Does your 3080 have updated firmware? I know a lot of the 30 series cards had weird port issues. You could also try plugging on to the onboard video and one to the GPU and see what happens.
I own both of them and there is no discernible difference. The 850 runs cooler. The Samsung has magician software which makes data migration an absolute treat. If I was in the market, I'd buy the one on sale at the time.
I've been having some struggles with this too. AMD buttdrenaline software looks really pretty but is functionally useless and extremely frustrating (and it crashes if I have my USB monitor plugged in).
Forget about when rebooting, I can't even get this turd of an app to save what I put in it...
RT looks good for screenshots, like static images. Cyberpunk especially looks fantastic with RT/PT on. That being said, having played 200 hours of that game on a 4090 it really isn't worth it. Even with the 4090 at 1440p I could only get 70-80fps with frame gen on with settings that looked...
That board is very good, I've used a few of them. A quick BIOS update and you'll be ready for any chip you want to put in it.
Microcenter should have the 14700 non-k which would probably be the best for $369, it has 8+12 cores instead of 8+8 (13700) or 8+4 (12700). It'll last a lot longer for...
The thing is, its not an actual problem with the card. The card functions normally and does its job, it is just annoying. Some people have their case away from them, or the kind with no window and sound deadening in it and will naturally never notice even if there was a noise.
Its more to do with the topology than the price. Some have more resonance with the card than others. I had an EVGA 1000W Plat that caused cards to whine like crazy but my cheap non-modular 750W was fine.
I don't know. But I know my eyes see the same thing the guy in the video they're complaining about does. I've spent 10,000 hours in MS Paint making a visual representation of what I see with the same light source behind the monitor with glossy vs matte.
I can EASILY ignore the glossy...
I had the Spectral White 7900XTX and it was the worst coil whine I've ever heard on a video card in 25 years. Too bad, it ran great and looked good too - I also have a Powercolor Hellhound 7800XT thats perfectly quiet. I've used almost every brand of 7900XTX except Gigabyte and the only quiet...
I think the 7900XTX is slightly faster overall in raster, much slower in RT. Kind of a toss up. I have a 4080 Super FE here that was purchased for a build for someone I know, it was easily snagged at $999 from the Nvidia site.
I busted out my old ram cooler just like it when I was trying for 8000 stable on my 13900K, but I ended up getting one of those flexi stick things that can screw into a standard thread case hole that holds a 120mm fan and you can bend it to where you want it. Now I don't even bother on my AMD...
Something like the Peerless Assassin is $35 I think, and will definitely keep the chip cool. I mean, if you like the liquid cooler by all means go for it too, its personal preference. But if I'm on a strict budget I would always pick GPU power over anything else, especially at 1440p.
Good luck...
Looks pretty good to me, although the liquid cooler is a bit superfluous. The 7800X3D doesn't run that hot, you could get a $30-40 air cooler and grab a 7900GRE instead. Just my .02.
I mean, if you play at 720p with a 3080 I guess its all good? My experience was with a 7900XTX and 4090, so I guess what I saw was different. I was looking at actual gaming at 1440p and 4k.
Having owned both, the 12600K is significantly slower in gaming. You'd need a 14600K to get the same performance, plus Alder Lake has a dumpy memory controller.
I'm willing to bet if there was a site like Consumer Reports that does data collection for all GPU brands, 70% of the complaints would come from AMD. Again, I'm not saying this to be anti-AMD, they are smaller than Nvidia and do way less "big data" business so they try to innovate with features...
I own both, have owned many many multiples of both, and use them heavily for actual gaming instead of just benchmarking. In my opinion if you're a pure gamer that wants plug and play just buy the Nvidia card even if its $50 more than the closest AMD. Hardware enthusiasts who know how to tweak...
I have the plain 7600 and its a gaming beast, I picked it up with a cheap mATX board when I was RMA-ing my other CPU and later tested it head to head against my 7800X3D with a 4090 and its within 10-15% in every game I play like Cyberpunk 2077, MW5, Starfield, etc.
It also responds well to ram...
Yeah the AMD app looks cool but the interface with multiple tab levels is really annoying. I've been stuck in there digging for features I knew i used before but couldn't remember where they went.
This update is long overdue though, GFE just sucked especially having to log in.
I feel like this is more along the lines of these companies pushing the chips to the edge of the safety margin by default, like you use to have 50% headroom back in the day and now you have 5%. Anything not detected when the silicon is made and then binned to a lower tier chip can be faulty...
No, its a brand new one with the latest firmware. Its had hundreds of hours of games like Cyberpunk played on it, temps were good and it has a beefy aftermarket heatsink.
On PC its bound to your scroll wheel button, and you have settings to remember it per-weapon or globally. You also have a setting to have a tap of the aim button to 1st person and a hold of the aim button to stay 3rd person.
In other news, I tried to load into a match this morning and it hung...
I’m running a 7000 series card and played for like 12 hours with no problem. Aside from crashing a few times whenever I interact with objects it seems pretty ok.
