How about a CPU/GPU combo so extreme, that graphics card doesn't even see the Fire Strike Ultra test, to be worthy of using full 3D boost clock on ? Valid : https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/26532269 Also, this CPU isn't compatible with Turing (aka RTX) and Volta GPUs. Reason : No 64-bit support.

@Mrfrenchtoast Just so you know : 1) Under GPT/EFI Windows boot, you have to set "Windows Boot Manager" as boot option in UEFI. Example (bottom of the screen) : 2) It's HIGHLY recommended to disable/unplug ALL hard drives except the one You want to install Windows on (it eliminates possibility of boot section being on different drive) 3) Disabling CSM is all well and good, BUT make sure you are launching USB pendrive in (U)EFI mode (and M.2 drive itself is formatted in GPT).

About half a year ago I had the same issue Basicly, I got S10 (non "+"), because I could afford it, and telecamera was worth it for me (8GB RAM was a nice touch). If you don't need camera with optical zoom - go for S10e (it should be cheaper) and buy proper drop-proof case for it. S10 has a bit more RAM (8GB vs 6GB), but that isn't a big deal at this point. Also, I really don't think a fingerprint scaner quality should be considered as highly on what smartphone should have. PS. Oh, and both S10e and S10 DO NOT use the full resolution of their screens on GUI (by default). If you want to use it change must be made manually in screen options.

There is no simple solution for bottleneck. Regardless if it you want to neutralise it, detect it or create it. Software is made to do stuff in many different ways, using different things at the same time. You can create bottleneck whereever and whenever you want - it simply depends on how code is made and what it does at this point in time. In short : No universal solution. Just check what is used most in Your case, and think if changing that will net you any profit (since environment is also important here).

I better comment this, before someone thinks it's all true... 1) Max. L2 cache you can get for LGA 771/LGA 775 is 12MB (in 2x 6MB slice), there are no Xeon CPUs on this platform that have more than 12MB. 2) There are no X54xx series CPUs with 12MB of cache and FSB slower than 1066MHz (effective) : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/TYPE-Xeon 5400.html 3) Highest multiplier for E0 revision chip has X5470 (x11 at 1333MHz FSB). Not sure if you will be able to clock it that much higher on FSB side, considering Dual CPU configuration nature of this platform. Also, QX9775 have both base FSB set at 1600MHz. 4) Pre-Core 2 CPUs are NOT Quad Cores. They only have two cores with enabled Hyper Threading (codename: Presler). 5) AMD never made "non-true quadcore". Phenom I is monolithic Quad Core design from 2007 (B2 revision). You can even argue it's more true quad core than Core 2 Quad ever was (monolithic die, IMC). Q6600 is two Conroe dies in one package (Xeon 54xx are two Wolfdale dies in one package). 6) Intel did Skulltrail for enthusiasts, but I highly doubt it was made to counter AMD at any point. AMD had 4x4 Quad FX platform that was made from 2x Opteron Dual Core CPUs (Four cores/Threads). So, one OC'ed Q6600 was capable to compete with it (but not with ALL tasks, since IMC gives really nice boosts to some server stuff). 7) You don't need all the EFI stuff to boot from SATA3 (LOL) PS. @Krisalex Like everyone else said : There are no DDR3 boards for Skulltrail (or server stuff, FB-DIMM is the reason). Standard DDR3 is "a thing" that LGA 775 can support via P35/P45/X38/X48 and few cheap chipsets (actually, it's not THAT rare). However max. DRAM frequency is limited by effective FSB speed of procesor (1333MHz FSB CPU can only set 1333MHz as max. DRAM Frequency). Also, more than frequency itself, tweaking NB is MUCH MORE valuable for latency and effective bandwidth (strap/perf. level/etc.), assuming BIOS has the options for it.

Things to add : 1) RTX Titan needed (Titan XP is too old ;D) 2) NVMe (use those PCI-e slots properly !) ^software like DUET or Clover should be enough to make it bootable on this [Optane standalone ?] 3) Won't overheating chipset/NV bridges cause throttling ? 4) Driver overhead test : RTX vs. RDNA (which gets more "necked"/can sqeeze more) 5) 16GB RAM or bust (DO NOT run/test it with again 8GB). 6) Bandwidth and Latency test on RAM (FSB is worse, but by how much) 7) GPU usage on 4k and Ultra settings 8 ) Compatibility with Windows based OC/Tweak programs : https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/MemSet.shtml https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-throttlestop/ https://setfsb.en.lo4d.com/windows PS. Old QVL lists get outdated the moment platform goes on sale (I used 16GB of DDR3 on Rampage Extreme fine*). *only Double Sided 4GB memory modules are supported.

I never thought I will request new tab on score doc again Yet, here we are... Socket 940, 2x Opteron 285 @ 2,61GHz. Cinebench 2003 : Cinebench R11.5 : Cinebench R15 : Cinebench R20 : @Jumper118 I would also like to point out, that there are no regular Athlon 64s for Socket 940 (like 5600+ or 4000+). There are only Athlon 64 FX's, but even those are single core only.

Can't you just install SP3 after Windows installation ? There is also nLite current disk and add SP3 on top (SP3 update can be downloaded from Microsoft).

Well, sure - if you weren't at 3000MHz on Ryzen with auto settings. Check your MB's DRAM frequency table vs. number of DIMMs installed here : LINK. Also, there is newer BIOS for your board available.

No problem ? OK. Mount second stick in the other memory slot (result should be : A2 + B2), and see what happends.

"Single Rank" doesn't mean "Single Channel". Current RAM settings are visible under "Memory" tab, not "SPD". Could you screenshot your "Mainboard" tab as well as "Memory" ?

Since you bought two the same Single Channel stick, it will work fine. "Wrongly installed" : 1) Not pushed enough = errors/hangs, 2) There is no way to install RAM in wrong slot (just use manual to get optimal performance). At least on recent platforms. 3) Ryzen platform prefers to be set manually if problems arise on auto settings.

Yes - if DRAM chips on two different modules require vastly different timings to work properly (and BIOS won't be able to find stable settings for them). If you have a Dual Channel kit, it doesn't matter. Your available bandwidth will simply drop by half, if you use A1+A2 instead of A2 + B2.

GPT is required for NVMe boot drives and UEFI booting in general (to get Ultra Fast Boot working). It's also the least problematic option for 3TB+ drives (you can access ~3,5TB max. capacity under standard MBR). MBR is more compatible and is accessible with any Windows. If you plan to use XP (32-bit) for what ever reason - it's the way to go.

How do you even mod a vBIOS for Pascal class GPU ? Check in GPU-z or RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistic Server), what's limiting your card (under Perf. Cap. reason section). If card pushes too much vGPU on 2GHz clock, you will hit Power limit which will throttle your card (regardless of temps).

GTX 780 Ti Reference (first highest end GPU ever bought new). I used it from 2014, and only last year I got myself a GTX 1080. Still works and I still got it Now it acts as backup to Titan Black I also own

NTFS is for Legacy. FAT32 is for EFI.

Tick "add fixes for old BIOSes" in advanced properties for Rufus. Also, enable "Legacy support" in USB configuration.

What can I say ? At least I got into the leader board @Jumper118 It may be good idea to add "3GB". Stadard ones come in 1,5GB version, so they will run out of VRAM Very fast.

VRM gets overheated and CPU throttles because of that. Don't match boards with crappy VRM with OC'ed FX-8xx0 series CPUs. Try droppinjg Vcore by 0,1V, and see if it's stable.

Yes. Select Floppy as first boot and you are good to go. Rufus should work (NTFS + advanced options for adding fixes for old BIOS). However, you can't use Rufus to create bootable hard drive (and Compact Flash is seen as Hard drive by Rufus). Copying DOS boot files manually should be enough to make it work though. @Dijon Oh ! You could, in theory, create a bootable partition on your hard drive with DOS boot files (and BIOS/flasher) on it. When such partition is selected as "Active" (ie. boot partition), it should allow to launch DOS on it and bypass the non-USB boot limitation of your board. You only have to correct hard drive in boot list in BIOS. I highly recommend doing it on spare hard drive though.

Just buy a USB floppy or use a Industrial Compact Flash card with adapter to IDE/SATA (industrial part is important, because regular Compact Flash usually doesn't allow DOS booting). Once you have it, simply copy DOS boot files together with BIOS file and a flashing program. Side note : SD card on CF adapter might work as well...

I know, I want to show you how it works on older platforms. I don't have the proper screenshot before and after to prove my point on Intel board (I have more than enough hardware to do this, I just can't use it at the moment), so - that is closest I can get. You can read comments under the video with LGA 775 guys having less than 4GB available and after using Remap feature they could use more.
