...squeezing some more performance from the 7950X3D

...not really practical if you want to view hundreds upon hundreds of 4K&+ HDR vids and see what's new. While I prefer uncompressed originals, the latest compression algorithms per YouTube have come a long way and I can definitely tell quality differences when viewing, not least as I have another monitor (40 inch) right next to the (48 inch) OLED

Yeah, the permutations and combinations that can run this are really interesting but it could affect new GPU sales...hopefully, NVidia doesn't try to block it somehow with future drivers. With my 2x 2080 Ti in NVLink / SLI, there was an undocumented 'CFR' (instead of the usual AFR SLI) feature in the drivers for about eight months, then it disappeared. -
...well, > let's not forget the 590 stereo barbecue ...I never played with one of those but we did have AMD 8990s in the office - I learned a lot about PSUs and liquid cooling in those days
-
...4x 780 Ti w/ custom vbios and modded VRM were also nothing to sneeze at. I still run one system with two of the three Antec HPC 1300 W Platinum on 110 V lines (but different circuits). That's a satisfying 2600 W continuous power for the Threadripper and three thirsty RTX cards for ML, etc. ...fyi, performance-per-watt has drastically increased over the last decade...the top end has dragged the whole spectrum with it...an 8800 GTX would look real old compared to a modern 155 W TPU GPU

Moar Powa - Fortunately, there's that 240 V wall plug for the cloth dryer

AFMF could be quite a boon for someone with a RTX 3080-3090 who wants to wait for, say, NVidia Blackwell RTX 5K but has the budget to go for a 'decent but value-priced' 7900XTX now, or a @LabRat pointed out , even has an older AMD GPU. I just don't know about how AFMF works re. VRAM capacities - hopefully I 'learn AFMF by doing' soon
-
...yeah, could be fun...I don't even need to take them apart; both GPUs are vertically mounted (pic below) on risers, and the tubing has enough slack curled on the back of the system - it will reach. FYI, I planted my 3090 Strix into the same Win 10 system that has SLI 2080 Tis running in CFR (TR2950X X399 creation)...for some ML tasks, all of them chip in but with a simple 'display preference' change I can switch between them. The only drawback will be that both cards will shift to PCIe 4 /8 but still worth it as a fun project that doesn't cost extra $s, just time
-
...I was kind of kidding; besides I already have a RTX 4090 and a nearby 6900XT per spoiler in my earlier post, but no other current-gen AMD. The 4090 and 6900XT are in a dual-mobo/dual system setup, the 4090 paired with a 7950X3D and the 6900XT with a 5950X (work-play/play-work)
-
...what does total overkill mean ?
-
...now > this you don't see every day

...the fellow who made this YT vid has been posting at the 4090 thread 'at another forum'...read the YT description first. He and others combine a 4090 with an AMD model (here with 6900XT). Very tempting; it just so happens that I have a 4090 and 6900XT in the same case just not connected to the same mobo...RTX 5K rumoured to be out either very late '24 or early '25, but with NVidia, one never knows for sure. I've also seen GPU combo vids for MSFS 2020 and a few other titles..
-
...in case someone wants to or needs to get a new 4080 now, I would recommend the 4080 Super or even 4070 Ti Super instead, otherwise, just wait for Blackwell (RTX "5k"). I am sure glad I picked up my custom PCB 4090 (600W) back in the fall of '22 at the intro price - it is more expensive now as the big AD 102 chips are also in heavy demand for AI cards for the workstation and enterprise markets. NVidia is selling a boat load of those at a much higher margins.

...Need more Powaah ! Aye aye, Captain !
-
...the legal profession (among other sectors) is in big kaka
-
...and more HDR stunningness which is breathtaking on a big OLED
-
...get a decent mobo and RAM (I'm running 'native' DDR5 7200 2x 24 GB at 8000.)..with a 2x CCD Ryzen 7K, it makes a difference...started with 'XMP' (no Expo) which was child's play...a few re_boots later I was at 8000...the fun started 'tuning' it, along with per-core CO (curve optimizer). But straight out of the box with XMP and PBO was easy as 1-2-3
-
@ENTERPRISE ...these 7950X3D are among the most fun I've had playing with a CPU...a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde character. The voltage limitations are a good thing, IMO, as it forces one to look for other avenues.

Christmas Holidays are fun
-
some digital desert after too much turkey and eggnog... CCG0 vs CCD1 results are interesting
-
some breathtaking visuals

...grew up in NW Europe; Christmas Eve was/is the day for opening presents and such after Christmas Eve church service. Christmas Day was for visits, or visitors, and a big Christmas feast after which everybody moaned that they ate too much...
