I'm talking actually playing the game. My point is for a given power budget, the voltage could not climb as high in game vs the benchmark.
I'd love to have that mate, I am in the process on switching to corsair PSU to try to solve a very annoying coil wine issue!
its yours pm'd
Hi do u guys get any update on queue? I just got a mail on 8th of January that says DPD suspended delivery to Ireland and they may restart on the 2nd half of the week... it's 19th now and still no new email or update. No queue update (I understand there is no delivery now to ireland, yet I still expect jump 10 place in the queue if they deliver 10 cards within the UK.
Don't forget that the card only has a limited number of RT resources. That makes sense as rasterization (ie. non ray-traced rendering) is still the majority if not all of most games' workload. So if a benchmark makes heavy use of RT only (or mainly), the rasterization resources will be under-utilised, meaning the card may draw less power.
Control is one of the heaviest games as you say, another is CP2077 I find. Benchmarks which use RT are heavy and even pure rasterization ones like timespy. Basically wherever you hit the power limit is usually the more demanding stuff. Some RT games like watchdogs or COD coldwar are less demanding. The increased power target of AIB cards like the EVGA 3080 you had at 450w will allow a more consistent clockspeed due to higher power budget.
on the other hand I find it effective with my 3090FE to set up a couple of profiles for this reason. My day to day profile in most games such as AC valhalla for example is 2160Mhz @ undervolt of 1.025v and it will do that fine fluctuating at that or 2145Mhz. This is largely fine as even at 4k maxed out in likes of AC Valhalla, I am not smashing into the power target. However if I go into control with that same setup, my card will smash off the 400w power limit and dip up and down constantly. I find in such instances, its more effective to use a secondary gaming profile I have which is 0.95v @ 2040 Mhz. by reducing the voltage, but more importantly clock speed, it stays more within the 400w power limit of the FE model and smash's less against the 400w target seeing a more consistent FPS then if I try to force the card to achieve a higher clock speed.
The 400w limit is not too bad truth be told, but it will show its head in some games like control RT or benchmarks more so which is where AIB models with BIOS's that allow more W come into there own.

DPD and Ireland... comical.
NI isn't a problem, it is shipments south of the border that are stuck for now.
+1. I've tried to support OCUK out of respect for the fact that they give us these forums, but the bits I had to order from a competitor came on Tuesday after placing the order Monday afternoon. OCUK order placed on Saturday still showing as received, not shipped. I mean, I can wait, but it does seem a bit of a mess up in there.
I ordered some bits on Monday also not shipped yet, looks like I’ll be waiting a while yet if your order was on Saturday.
Very frustrating.....COVID status is green on the homepage and says business as usual.
Yup that may well be the case for Ireland and DPD but doesn't change the fact that ocuk service and next day delivery has gone to **** completely regardless of Ireland. Few friends are still waiting on their parts to be delivered after a week now and they are based in UK mainland so no excuses here for ocuk.....
Granted demand and covid etc. will have an impact but if competitors are able to ship and have items delivered within a couple of days then ocuk badly need to review their warehouse system or/and hire more people....
To be fair it was Saturday evening, but like others say, competitors are smashing it. Oh well. I'm just hoping it will actually show and they won't suddenly tell me that all of the in stock stuff I ordered is out of stock.

And 3080FE.
