    I’ve managed to use all 16gb on my A770 multiple times and I won’t buy any GPU in the future that doesn’t have excessive vram.

    I replaced a 3070ti with the 16gb A770 because of this. I keep the 3070ti around just to remind me that buying an 8gb card in 2022 was a dumb idea and to never do that again.

    That's fair. Nvidia definitely knows what they're doing with the vram situation - 12GB on a 4070ti, a card that costs $800USD, is unnaceptable for sure. I've been ok with 10GB and a 3080 but there are definitely situations where that wouldn't always be the case.

    yeah that was really the only thing that was holding me back on the rtx 3080 was the vram, have heard that a lot of games will be moving to needing more vram with consoles coming with so much now. Honestly I have no idea if it really will be an issue in the future, looking to get a card that will last me a long time. Would the 10gb be an issue down the road or is the vram issue overblown? And honestly don't care about ray tracing at all, will mostly likely never use it, and dlss maybe but honestly a big maybe. None of this is to say I am leaning to the rx 6800xt just want whatever one will be the best one for down the road. and i use a 3440x1440 monitor. 

    Your concerns about vram are warranted - Nvidia continues to undercut its own products with "enough memory for now but not for the future". I haven't run into any issues with video memory with my 10GB, warranted I am on 2560x1440 only. Interestingly however, the margin of victory for the 10GB 3080 actually increases over the 16GB 6800XT in the hardware unboxed video game average at 4K compared to 2K. I would say 10GB is still just enough for most games today at the $400 GPU pricepoint, considering the 3080 is still faster than the 6800XT at all resolutions I'd slightly lean towards team green in this case.

  3. Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if I could permanently disable iGPU folding in the F@H client. I don't fold 24/7 on my gaming rig so every time I restart the system it automatically starts folding a new work unit on my iGPU and I can't figure out a way to prevent it. I tried setting it to "Finish" the WU with the idea that it remains finished and doesn't fold anymore on it, but it always restarts once I turn on the system. Removing the iGPU folding slot also doesn't work as it always re-adds the slot when the system reboots.

     

    Thanks!

  4. Hey everyone,

    I recently upgraded my platform from AM4 to AM5. I cloned my windows install onto a new ssd, put in the new board, ram and cpu (R5 7600), and am running two GPUs - an RTX2070 and 3080. Everything was going smoothly until I realized that both my GPU(s) and audio were showing up under the eject media in the taskbar, where a USB would typically be.

    If I press eject video controller, it quite literally "ejects" my gpus and the screen resolution goes down, the system becomes laggy and I only get 1 monitor. The GPUs still show up properly in task manager and Nvidia's drivers. The "Video Controller" shows up as this:

    and the "Audio device on high definition audio bus" shows up as this:

    image.png.29381821a2586dd5f824d771813cc701.png

    I booted into safe mode and DDUd both my nvidia gpu and audio drivers, reinstalled the most recent gpu drivers, and made sure windows, chipset, and audio drivers were all up to date. The system itself seems fine, but the weird behavior from the gpus continues as geforce overlay and gpu tuning softwares don't work. I've never had this issue before and haven't had much luck googling, most similar problems people have had were years ago with GTX970's and a faulty gpu driver from Nvidia. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  5. Just a bit curious on speculation of if/when 12VHPWR will be implemented for consumer GPUs. I'm currently looking to upgrade my old power supply in preperation for a new GPU (either a 40xx or 30xx this fall) since I've had a few issues with my current one. I think it's unlikely that either Nvidia or AMD's next gen cards will feature PCIe gen 5 power delivery, but I'm unsure if it's worth it to wait for more 12VHPWR power supplies to hit the market to truly future-proof my new PSU, or buy a normal PSU now for a much lower price.

  6. Hiya,

     

    I have a laptop with a GTX 1050 in it. This is the third time in the past few months that the GPU has randomly killed itself and disappeared from task manager and stopped being of any use, reporting Code 43 in device manager and saying it has been disabled because it caused an error. Can't figure out why it keeps doing this for seemingly no reason. The first time, I fixed it by resetting the entire PC (which sucked, of course), the second I DDU'd it and restarted and it fixed it, now even that isn't working. This is the second time it's happened in less than a week.

     

    I can't figure out why this is happening, any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year!

  7. Hey guys,

     

    I'm considering getting PrimoCache for a 2TB 7200RM Seagate Hard Drive I'm going to get for games, particularly FS2020. Unfortunately, my beefy GPU covers both PCIe slots, so I won't be able to install a PCIe to M.2 expansion card and use a 256GB NVMe SSD for my cache. My question is, how much is the performance loss from an NVMe SSD to a SATA SSD for such a task? I could use some of my 1TB NVMe Windows Drive for my cache, but since it's almost full I really would rather avoid this.

     

    Thanks for the help!

    Other people seem to be having a similar issue to you with the fan maxing at around 1900rpm. It could be that the newer wraith stealth maxes out at that rpm and the original maxes out at 2700rpm or there may be a bios reporting error. Do you have the latest bios for your board?

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, I should have updated my BIOS anyways, but after doing so it appears as though it hasn't solved the problem. The CPU temps shoot up like a rocket and the CPU fan stays at around 1930 RPM.

     

    Could you link the threads where people were having similar issues? You've been a great help, I appreciate it!!

    Also try to set it at 80 or 75 percent to see if it still gets stuck at 1917.

    I tried setting it to a lower mark and it looks like it just gets stuck at 1917 as you said. Confirmed in the BIOS that if it goes over 80 C the fan will spin at 100%. Did a stress test and the fan stayed at 1917 RPM without spinning up, even as the CPU reached 95 C.

  10. 2 minutes ago, gazabi said:

    Ok that is weird it shoud be able to reach 2700rpm, maybe try a different monitoring software like hwmonitor and are you sure you adjusted the correct fan curve and are checking the right fan rpm.

    Yeah, the cooler is plugged into CPU_FAN 1. I confirmed in hardware monitor that it is indeed maxing out at only 1917 RPM. I'll check the BIOS to make sure, but I'm pretty sure it's set to ramp up to 100%.

  11. 2 minutes ago, gazabi said:

    You should be able to adjust the fan curve in the bios, is the cooler connected to the cpu fan header on the motherboard?

    yeah it is, I adjusted the fan curve in BIOS to go to 100% at a certain temp but when it reaches that threshold, the MSI dragon center app that I use to monitor the fan speed only reads as 1917 RPM.

  12. Hey y'all,

     

    So I recently got a ryzen 5 3600, and when the cooler is under 100% usage it only reads as ~1917 RPM. Can the fan go faster, and if so, how can I allow it to reach maximum RPM (I don't care about noise, the GPU fans drown it out anyways). Thanks!

  13. I just installed an ASUS Radeon RX5700 DUAL EVO Graphics Card in my rig. I was looking to flash the 5700xt BIOS onto it, but couldn't find the BIOS for the identical card online. Does anyone know where I could find the BIOS and if it is worth the risk for the extra 10% performance? Thanks!

     

    Also, I thought this card came with a dual BIOS, but can't find the switch anywhere on the card. If anyone could confirm whether or not this card has that it would be much appreciated!

     
  14. I'm looking to grab a ryzen 5 3600 in the next couple weeks, and I'm wondering how much the price is gonna drop once the 3600xt's hit the market. Right now during COVID prices are kinda inconsistent and shopRBC has the 3600 on sale for $255, which I know isn't a great price, but nowadays it isn't terrible. Is it worth it to wait a few more weeks for the new cpu's to bring prices down, or will it not make that much of a difference, especially because it's more geared toward the 3600x instead?

  15. Hi,

     

    I've been playing GTAV for a while and it's been running fine on my laptop. However after I installed LSPDFR the fps averages around 35 and I have texture loss/slow texture loading after a while of playing. I checked task manager and my CPU is staying pinned to 100% all the time and my GPU is idling at less than 5% all the time. I made sure the GPU was detected in settings, and I looked at some previous threads that said GTAV usually doesn't use that much of the GPU. However, none of the threads I saw had GPU usage even close to as low as mine.

     

    I have a 2 year-old Acer Nitro 5 laptop with an i5-7300HQ and a GTX1050.

     

    Thanks for the help!

  16. Hello,

     

    A while ago I decided to try and install a custom ROM onto my samsung galaxy grand prime (SM-G530W). Unfortunately, after I had installed TWRP, the touch screen wouldnt work and I would end up not being able to unlock the phone and choose to either keep it read-only or root it. This means I can't access the TWRP menu to actually reset the phone manually. I tried some fixes online but nothing worked. Anyways, now I just want to reset it and reinstall normal android to use it as a secondary phone. However, once I put it into download mode I can't figure out how to actually reset the phone. Since I can't use TWRP I need to reset it using my PC, but don't know how to. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks a lot!

    What do you mean by corrupted?

     

    If those programs crash, the hdd is probably dead, and there is nothing you can do.

    Whenever I try to access the drive it says it's corrupted (in windows explorer). Before everything started crashing it would pick up the drive in both disk management and diskpart. Now, nothing works at all.

  18. Hello,

    I have a corrupted hard drive I would like to reset. Unfortunately, disk management and diskpart crash whenever I try to run them with the hard drive plugged in. Is there any way to reformat the hard drive when it seems to crash any application that has to do with it?

    Thanks!

  19. Hi, I have a 1TB HDD that was working fine until a few minutes ago. It just got dropped from the list of devices on my pc, I can't access anything from it anymore. Just checked BIOS and the cable and it's still recognized by the PC, just not by windows.

     

    I've read you can use disk management to initialize the disk, but will this erase all data? When I did open the disk management, it also said that the drive was empty (~981GB) when I know I had at least 400GB of files on the HDD. Any help would be appreciated, it's just photos but obviously would really like to get them back. Thanks in advance guys!

     

    EDIT: This just happened after a windows update, also wondering if maybe I need to reinitialize the disk after that. Thanks

     

    EDIT II: Tried to use the disk initialize tool and it said "the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error..." 

     

    Btw I have an acer nitro 5 laptop.
