    Assassins Creed Odyssey has never been locked to 60fps on PC.
    I'd suss some settings guides to see where you could maybe gain some frames.
    You still have to go over your own display/control panel settings so whatever you choose to do, is suitable for your monitor/panel.
    Be it using Vsync or Not, and such things of FPS nature.

    I'd keep trying to find a way to boot with SINGLE/Individual sticks of Ram as a starting point...
    Go back to Basics,.. Mobo/CPU/1 stick of Ram/GPU//PSU/Keyboard without anything else connected.

    One by one RAM stick, in each slot, will it boot with one of these configs..
    Then if it boots,... take it from there.

    Assuming something IS bad when troubleshooting is a bad idea,.......iE "Old AMD GPU"  because now you don't even consider RAM to be the culprit and may miss something if you lay it all on the "Old AMD GPU" Then you might spend money on a replacement GPU to find its one of the RAM sticks all along.

    1 stick at a time, each slot would be where I start.

    Have you reset the bios since you tinkered with the ram timings? remove power remove battery and jump the power switch afew times to discharge any residue charge 
     
    Then replace battery and power, jump switch

    way simpler way to do that and much safer too. 
     
    just set a power limit in msi afterburner,  to like 90% or 70%
     
    btw undervolting doesnt lower power usage generally... the card will just boost more and still use the same power... mine uses 270w stock, 272w with undervolt...
     
     
    hence set a power limit, everything else makes very little sense to save power. 
    (vsync would work too btw)

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to Mark Kaine in is 1750 mhz safe on rtx 3070?   
    yes, "base" ... they're underselling the boost clocks... heavily... 
     
    my 3070 boosts to 2010mhz regularly... its ok, because thats how nvidia boost works, the card will not clock to a level where it could get damaged, unless it's a broken game that does some weird stuff (super rare) or you go out of your way and would disable the protections (somehow) 
     
    tldr: 1750 is nothing  😛
     
     
    ps: don't change any settings,  revert them if you did, its  not recommended at all to fiddle with the clocks etc if you don't have a basic understanding of what you're doing... especially in this case it seems counter productive,  just let the card at default settings and let it do its thing...

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to Applefreak in should i buy 4090? or wait for 5090?   
    Ok so that is a bit tricky to answer. You should not compare unless they run exactly the same hardware as you and the game is running the exact same patch, which is very doubtful. Many factors can influence performance in games, most are related to software. Either you card works or it doesn't. It won't perform worse over time unless it get's clogged up with dust and throttles down. I'd look into that first and then keep saving up if you really want a 4090.

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to BobVonBob in Is Finewine technology a bug or a feature?   
    I have an irrational hatred for the whole "Finewine" thing. Naming the phenomenon and treating it like it like it's an intentional "technology" like FSR or Eyefinity is just weird. Maybe it's AMD sucking at pre-release driver optimisation, maybe it's Nvidia being lazy about post-release driver optimisation. Who knows!
     
    What I do know is AMD would definitely increase their prices way more than the relative performance improvement if they were able to get that performance out of these cards at launch. Disappointing if you're a performance nut, but maybe good for the wallet?

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to RONOTHAN## in WHEA 19 at 1966 FCLK and higher   
    Some benchmarks it did, but not all. Y cruncher, for instance, no matter what they were my chip (early 2021 5900X, compared to other chips the only thing remotely decent on it is the memory controller) would slow to a crawl when set above 1900MHz FCLK. 3DMark CPU score would scale to 1966MHz FCLK, especially if I kept cranking the 1.8V rail to unsafe levels, but not further. 
     
    I wouldn't bother with this outside of competitive benchmarking. It's just not worth the hassle and odds are it won't help at all.

    I'm going to put the crazy idea out there that you probably don't need to chase after memory performance THAT much. What use case do you have the NEEDS an extra 1-3% performance? Pretty much anything involving memory tweaking cuts into stability a ton. It's not 2003 anymore where you can go from DDR1-333 to DDR1-550 without huge stability hits (RIP Winbond BH5 and Samsung TCCD).

    I've used a GTX1650 GDDR6 with a Dell SFF i7 3770 based machine with 4x4GB Dual Rank DDR3 1600Mhz and a 220w PSU for months across a wide range of games and the PSU isn't a concern (outside of being proprietary) but 24pin power adapter cables exist to use standard PSU's to the custom proprietary motherboard power inputs if that's also a concern.

    Your CPU likely goes to 100% more often using the SSD because more can be done in shorter time.
    With a HDD, there is a bottleneck to then be waiting to then be not as busy to then be not as demanding.
     
    De-Compression used in Fitgirl repacks can be super cpu intensive using all cores, it also uses a decent chunk of sys-memory so overclocked ram can also error out the process. You can be unstable with an overclock that's applied, or your cooling doesn't suffice your CPU (Firgirl Repack 100% CPU loads) and you reach TJMAX on the CPU (100-105*c) maybe....
     
    Monitor your system with HWINFO while you are unpacking it (before it reboots) to try to investigate the heavy loads and what's affecting your setup.. be it temps/power or instability.

    SkilledRebuilds got a reaction from IIIKazumi in Change RTX 3070 to 3080 with R5 3600?   
    If its an option available to you at the right price... For 1080p gaming with a RTX3070, you'd be better off nabbing a 5800x3D CPU for the platform for overall greatness and balance. But also 1440p wouldn't hurt as the R5 3600 can cover nearly all of those framerate needs at 1440p from the RTX3070.

    When you get into CPU bottlenecking territory, I'd go with a CPU upgrade. The newer IPC+3DCache in Gaming, those benefits will serve you well going forward even with a newer GPU.

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to Alinz in Change RTX 3070 to 3080 with R5 3600?   
    You are already bottlenecked at 1080p with a 3070, it will only get worse with a 3080.
     
    Id suggest either a better CPU or a 1440p monitor.

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to Shimejii in Why does everyone hate the 4080?   
    counter Argument points : #1, People were VERY negative towards the 3090ti, It was a shitty price that was taking advantage of the shortages to upcharge an already expensive 1500$ to 2000$ for a slight OC and a much better Memory design. If you say otherwise you are just a fool and you simply have blinders on. 
     
    #2: 3080ti Was again a pretty much cash grab for Nvidia with the shortages, going from 700$ gpu to 1200$ for around 7-10% increase is a pretty awful value and again pretty much every reviewer that actually cares about its viewers warned not to buy it. You dont support blatant price gouging by a company like that. Stop appeasing Nvidias Marketing tactics for the 4080 12gb vs 16 gb, you know its blatant misleading advertising. Its not even in the same class as an 80 tier gpu of the past, they tried this a few times and every time they get called out and try their best to sweep it under the rug.
     
    #3. Current market now is fine, you can actually find much better pricing than what you stated, your cherry picked answers just go to show how awful you are at finding factual pricing and you try to make this shit up to make your point be better. You can easily buy 2nd hand 3090s for 700$, 3090tis for 850. You can buy "New" for around 900$ish although they sold most of that out and they arent getting anymore because they are trying to limit the discounts so not to take too much loses.
     
    Businesses are by design for customers to buy things from, when they do shady practices and try pulling stunts like this off time and time again, they lose value. Its why Monopoly type businesse are almost always AWFUL, because they have 0 competition. 
     
    Trying to justify your purchases based on what you want vs what you should have actually should have is quite different. This post is just pretty much screaming that you are insecure about yourself, and you feel the need to say that "Just stop complaining and buy it" Because in the end a 1200$ Gaming GPU is pretty fucking stupid to buy. Same thing for 1600$ its a Pretty stupid price to pay for just gaming, does that mean nobody will buy it because of that? No, people will spend money on that stuff because that is their main hobby and if they can justify it based on their needs and what they can afford, then its their choice. I always recommend against reckless spending habits because in general most people should not buy those cards, most people cant justify it in any way but they also dont want to feel left out and thats where marketing crap and most stuff targets people. 
     
    All in all, the 4000 series are some of the best performing GPUS ever made, but they have bad pricing. You can try to justify it all you want for you, most people wont see that. Competition matters, AMD  really needs to get in that market of 200-800$ gpus with top tier performance, but with this race to see who can bloat the pricing of their top end GPUS more, its just gonna get worse as these Processing Nodes get more expensive and difficult, Not to mention any potential Conflicts, wars, disasters that may happen.

    OP... Is this buyer's remorse and you're on a copium bend trying to justify the money you spent?
     
    It's classed as a XX80. There's a huge performance gap between it and the current 4090.
    That more than likely means a 4080 Ti is going to be slated right there, at an even higher MSRP than the previous 3080 Ti.
     
    Your logic isn't sound.
     
    Better than a previous card that was priced the same but classed higher? Great... Newer cards SHOULD be better than their predecessors. But it's still about price/performance and the 4080 is simply not a good value. CUDA cores are not a good metric. You're paper-racing things that are built on different architectures built on different processes. The numbers you should be paying attention to are 5 nm (TSMC 4N process) for the Ada Lovelace and 8 nm 10 nm (Samsung 8N process) for the Ampere. Great... the VRAM number is bigger for the 30 series... have you reached anywhere near that 4080's 16 GB VRAM amount yet? "allowing NVIDIA to basically do whatever they want" ... Dude... So because "market bad", it's acceptable for NVIDIA to do whatever they want???  
    You've effectively answered your own question.
    It's bad practice by NVIDIA. The people, their potential customers, are not here to take it. They are proclaiming their distaste, as is their right.

    SkilledRebuilds reacted to Omga4000 in Why does everyone hate the 4080?   
    Hi everyone,
     
    I've been seeing everyone BASHING on the 4080, honestly, for not apparent reason.
    The main argument is: The 3080's MSRP is 699$, the 4080 is 1199$. nVidia is a greedy company.
     
    Now here's my (logical?) counter-argument:
    The 4080 is better than even a 3090 Ti which was released at an MSRP of 1,999$. People were not as negative towards the 3090 Ti as they are over the 4080. The 4080 is much closer to the 3080 Ti in terms of CUDE Cores and VRAM, and then 3080 Ti was released at the exact MSRP of 1,199$ as the 4080.
    I assume the 4080 12GB was intended to be the "real" 4080, and the 4080 16GB the 4080 Ti? If nVidia would have simply called the 4080 16GB version a "4080 Ti" would people not be as pissed as they are? The current market is awful, allowing nVidia to basically do whatever they want. Reality check, "courtesy" of pcpartpicker:
    Want a 3090? Pay 1,298$+ (only 1 card at that price). ~13-23% slower than the 4080 for ~8% more money.
    Want a 3090 Ti? Pay 1,639$+ (only 1 card at that price). ~9-14% slower than the 4080 for 36% more money.
    Want a 4090? Pay 2,079$+ (only 1 card at that price - the next one is 2,199$). ~5-25% faster than the 4080 for 73%-83% more money.
    Or frantically refresh websites until (maybe) some website sells them at MSRP. Maybe.
    And on a more personal note and a bit more details about my thought process here:
    Yes - it's very justified for companies to spike their prices. nVidia isn't some charity organization intended to give back to the community. They are here to make money and please the investors first and foremost. If that means increasing the prices dramatically due to numerous reasons, such as: extremely high demand, shortage of chips in the industry, increased prices of the workforce, materials, development process and shipment, no competition, and purely because they can - they will do it.
    Whether you (the user) like it or not makes 0 difference to them, since they have done their research (they have people smarter than many of us working on exactly that) and know it will sell either way due to the current market situation. They can only make X GPUs a year, knowing very well the vast majority of them will sell. Why sell them for 699$ a piece if it'll sell the exact same way for 1199$ a piece?
    Is it ethical / good for consumers? Nope and nope.
    Is it something that was done in the past? Only a million times by a million different companies. Tesla has been doing it for years.. Does that stop people from buying Teslas? Not really. They are still selling far more than they can produce. Only now people with less money can't afford it. Did you see Elon Musk crying about all those people who can't afford Teslas? Didn't think so.
    Until nVidia produces more GPUs than they can sell, prices will continue rising. Until AMD/Intel doesn't produce anything worthwhile and competitive, prices will continue rising. Until scalpers will be dealt with, price will continue rising. This is a very very basic demand and supply issue.
    This problem won't be fixed just because xxx_insert_username_here_xxx can't afford a product, or thinks a private company is doing "unethical" things. They have enough customers without them, they've done their research. It being sold out very quickly just proves it they were not wrong.
     
    Thoughts? 🙂
     
    Full disclosure:
    OP had bought 2 RTX 4080's at MSRP for 2 different builds and doesn't understand all the fuss and hate around it.
