  1. 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
  2. ...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
  3. ...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)
  4. ...now > this you don't see every day
  5. ...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..
  6. ...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.
  7. ...and more HDR stunningness which is breathtaking on a big OLED
  8. ...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
  9. @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.
  10. some digital desert after too much turkey and eggnog... CCG0 vs CCD1 results are interesting
  11. some breathtaking visuals
  12. ...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...
  13. Per-core CO can be quite a chore / not unlike overclocking RAM. I trust you are using SMUdebug for per-core CO, or even per-CCD or all-core?
  14. ...had a bit of time today for some benching w/ eclk 105, no per-core CO yet, just Aorus 90L6 PBO enhancement (an all-core CO or sorts). Glad that this all ran fine with no extra voltage boost via per-core CO at a 5% overclock
  15. ...some of his stuff is quite good, including MPT tools (AMD Navi21 etc) and more. However, this was/is a royal f___-up. The fact that Igor trusted another YouTuber's testing without doing his own (at least) spot-checks and then publish it under his name is a trust-buster and reputation killer. What is really disturbing and should have been a giant red flag is that Alphacool's own published specs were nowhere near what alter-Igor came to conclude; Alphacool's own specs are within what serios testers are finding within the same test conditions. There are other 'false' claims which were made when this fan was first tested (not sure if that was on 'Igor's' piece as well or someplace else), specifically the outer ring which connects each blade - my 11-year-old GentleTyphoon have that
  16. Yes, that's the board (X670E Master). I think there is an updated version that doesn't use the Intel NIC as some folks seem to have problems with it (mine works just fine with the Intel NIC). FYI, I have tested bios with Agesa from 1.0.0.7c to 1.1.0.0. The F13c (1.0.0.7c) bios for that board is my favourite. Note that this is a 4-dimm board (one of the best, IMO). I think @kaliz can also tell you more about some nice ASRock boards as well re. good RAM oc etc
