yup and you got people here from the peanut gallery who aren't even running it first hand and praising it
Sounds like eating crow on the way in your direction.
what about this then? Hmm, huh?
No, I know exactly why, the base framerate was crap.
What's the easiest way to undervolt? I haven't really looked into it for the 5000 series much.

What do you mean normal card? Other vendor cards are also normal consumer products, are you suggesting only FE counts as a normal card?
The reddit page linked on the hardforum page is what I followed. Basically you mod Afterburner and then just put in a curve. I went for the suggested 0.890 target and did that. Seems to do a good job lowering GPU power and not limiting performance. Of course not guaranteed to work but it sounds like that 0.890 target has become a recommended one because most 5090s have no issues with it. It doesn't cap power draw, as the power limit setting does which can be good and bad. The good is it doesn't seem to lower performance at all, however it does mean that if circumstances are right, the card can still hit 600w. I can get mine to hit 600w in Furmark. In real games though it has just resulted in a reduction in power and heat without costing measurable performance.
The tdp on the RTX 5090 is 600w. The lightning z is a halo xtreme oc version with an intentionally higher end board and power limits, intended for chilled water and ln2. Don't be disingenuous.
I'd love to see if this makes a huge difference in performance, image quality, etc?
I have to imagine it has a pretty negative IQ effect and that's why nVidia didn't do it. It looks like they are working on doing something like this, probably by integrating the upscaler with DLSS 5 so it does a better job preserving what it is supposed to. That's probably also where they expect the improvements from that line that goes way up in their performance graph to come from. There's a "WIP" upscaling setting exposed in their controls so they are clearly looking at it. My guess is that just doing it on the rendered image and then feeding it in to DLSS as it ends up screwing up too much of what it does, and thus making it an option they didn't want to go for.
Wait your card burned out? I mean I heard about this on MLID, but I take that channel with mounds of salt.
yep
opinion?
I think "art direction" is often used as an excuse when one cannot make a good looking game.
People play games to escape reality, not realism.
Does this assume people do not escape reality when they watch Star wars, Games of Thrones or Lords of the Rings because of its photo realism ?
I actually said the opposite of that, are you just trying to find ways to disagree?
You too? Re-read what I wrote, for fucks sake, is everyone a contrarian today?
opinion?
First what?
