  1. Also a strange thing is that in Furmark the clock speeds of the GPU are shown much lower than they should be: Not even close to 2000 But the FurMark score is comparable to others. So I guess it should be as it should be.
  2. Actually lowering voltage a bit gave extra ~1000 points in Time Spy and the core is around 2500-2600Mhz. But what seems strange to me is the GPU usage curve fluctuating a lot (is OCed 14600KF really what keeps it back?): But well, it works almost fine. Perhaps I'll keep the card.
  3. Did not find a place in AMD drivers to lower voltage in mV, lowered it instead by 10%. Strange thing is that it does not lower the board power draw at all, which is quite high even for 7900 XTX at ~365W. Tried newer drivers, tried older drivers, not much difference at all. Edit: ah found the mV tuning option, will try. Strange thing in Time Spy is that when the first scene starts the fps fluctuates between a wide range often up and down. RTX 4070 had much more stable framerate if I recall.
  4. Quite new, even plastic film intact. I've bought couple of GPUs from that person before, both worked perfectly.
  5. The voltage is at default. Tried lowering it, but it gave not much lower power usage (reported in Afterburner OSD) and screen turned back while on desktop twice when I tested.
  6. I was lucky to acquire a Sapphire RX 7900 XTX for a quite a good price. But when benchmarking the scores are about 10% below average. For instance Time Spy: I wonder what could cause it. My CPU - 14600KF should not hold it back so much. Also - when checking clocks in CPU-Z I see these clocks: But in Afterburner much higher: What's going on? I did DDU and tried latest drivers at first, but the bit older drivers perform the same.
  7. A tad of a performance blocker indeed the 6700K. But as a temporary CPU, can play most games decently.
  8. It's faster than RX 7800 XT, in almost every scenario: Can't really think of many pros of 7800 XT over the 4070 Ti
  9. No, the 7900 XTX needs PCI-e power connectors, not even 16-pin 12VHPWR connector. And the MSI PSU has 6 of the PCI-e power connectors.
  10. This should be perfectly fine for any 7900XTX
  11. Should work. Why not? You don't need 5.0, but that powers 7900XTX anyway. What PSU though? I mean model.
  12. Scary times. 4 hours long video (speculation) on the subject.
  13. I guess I agree that the 34 esports if already owned should not be swapped probably. But I'm not trusting cooler TDP ratings, for instance: https://www.zalman.com/EN/Product/ProductDetail.do?pageIndex=2&pageSize=10&productSeq=323&searchCategory1=4&searchCategory2=48&searchCategory3=-99&searchKey=&searchWord=&active=pro_specTab#pro_detail_tab 300W? That's a good cooler, but TDP means not much when comparing different cooler manufacturers rating.
  14. @podkall the "X watts TDP" is up to the manufacturer to advertise, that number doesn't necessarily mean anything. Like Intel "125W" CPUs and so on. TDP means rarely much these days. 14500 is "65w" TDP.
  15. Well it's one of the most efficient, especially considering the lower noise at top cooling performance. But I guess there are different reviews of same coolers giving quite different results. I'm not a fan Noctua at all though, but it's one of the best anyway. Also I do agree that 34 eSports by Arctic does not perform so much worse that there would be much point swapping it out...
  16. Ah, right Thermalright are mostly cheap in US I believe. In Europe it much depends on region. NH-D15 for around 80€ is a good deal considering it's usual price. But is so pricey cooler necessary for 14500, probably not.
  17. The suggested Thermalright coolers are about 2-3 times cheaper than the NH-D15, yet perform quite similarly. Just sayin...
  18. I have 14600K that consumes ~220W (Reported in Core Temp) and a Liquid Freezer AIO, and that reaches 90C+ in 5 minutes (OCCT full load), so finding a air cooler that would do the same is near impossible, but best options are Thermalright latest dual-towers. Or if budget is in excess of $100+ then some Noctua NH-D15. But the OCCT full load does not represent gaming scenario in any aspect. In games max temp is about 20C lower.
  19. I think there is a reason behind the case that TN panels are being replaced by IPS in most cases. But here's another possibly decent TN - https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/CbmmP6/asus-tuf-gaming-vg248q1b-240-1920-x-1080-165-hz-monitor-90lm0870-b011b0
  20. If TN is must have, I'd go with something like - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hy4BD3/asus-vg248qg-240-1920x1080-165-hz-monitor-vg248qg Concluded to be quite good in Rtings review - https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/vg248qg

    M.2? Though yeah - monitors
  22. There really aren't many decent TN panel 24" high refresh-rate monitors out there I think (or perhaps I'm just not informed). Except ultra high refresh rate ones, like Asus PG248QP 540Hz one and some others. Those don't fit into your budget. IPS is the most decent all-around panel type at lower price range I think. The glow in the dark is not absent on TN afaik either in dark environment and dark scenes combined. And you could get a half decent 24" IPS for half the budget. Something like - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cYpzK8/asus-tuf-gaming-vg249q1a-238-1920-x-1080-165-hz-monitor-vg249q1a or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nGYRsY/aoc-24g4-238-1920-x-1080-180-hz-monitor-24g4 Not a direct upgrade perhaps... Also as noted before - why not 1440p 27"? Something like Dell G2724D or LG 27GP850.
  23. Yes, the monitor has been same. Ans haven't got a secondary monitor currently.
  24. I've had no issues with any newer driver since 551.67 Have you used DDU before installing newer drivers?
