    5950X AM4 Owners

    Been a while since I've ran R23 and I used to get scores around 31k really trying for 32k back when the 5950x was new before all the performance killing security updates. So these scores are from a fresh cold boot this morning using my everyday overclock.

    3D Mark announces Steel Nomad benchmark, replaces Timespy

    There is an update in the steam group. Looks to be a slight delay but maybe April. https://steamcommunity.com/app/223850/discussions/0/4288061719899146606/#c4349987747245175717

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Interesting. There is still a difference that is larger than the margin for error. I've made a post on 3d mark steam forum as well to see if anyone there has seen a similar issue.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I do check before starting the benchmark run, as well as waiting until the cpu temp has dropped (temp via debug display on mobo is helpful fo knowing when cpu has dropped to idling.) All my past 290 runs are high 15k right up to 17k with high oc but I'm barely able to reach 14k with the 7800 in...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    No bios updates recently. All i've really done is remove old drivers (Final official legacy for the 290) DDU, re-installed latest chipset drivers in case ddu touched them ... then installed latest drivers for the 7800.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I recently picked up the 7800Xt to upgrade from a 290 and am still getting to know the different undervolt/overlock mechanism. No real issues encounters but an oddity in Timespy CPU score which is notably down compared to the 290. I cant work out why that may have happened, my cpu oc profiles...

    Black Friday/cyber Monday - what would count as worth buying?

    Well, I bit the bullet and went for a Nitro 7800XT. It's finally time for me to retire the R9 290 which has served me well. Windows 11 and no driver updates is starting to cause some issues although minor are only going become more of an issue. The 290 works great as a room heater this time...

    PBO overclocking difficulties?

    Default PBO limits are probably the same as Motherboard limits and way higher than need be. With a high edc, pbo may just overvolt for the hell of it causing temps to rise and clocks to fall. With the 5700G being a 65w part, maybe try setting pbo limits to match a 105w part, 5800x...

    Any news on 7800 xt?

    Nearly a decade holding onto this 290. Last time prices were sane. I'm tempted by the 7800XT, which should give a notable performance increase over current card which held its own against the 970. I think i want a pre oc version but need to get past the mental block that says not more than...

    Windows 11: Slow File Explorer

    I get this phenomenon quite often and found no real solution. It's totally random when it happens but usually after some time. Opening ThisPC will result in 'Working on it...' and Not responding if I click into the window trying to encourage it to work. What does then work is going through...

    Asus Dark Hero Bios Update 4501

    I don't know. I'm going to try and persevere with this bios for now and see about tightening up ram timings for 3466. If there is a positive to be found it is that the EDC issue seems to have been resolved. EDIT: I have 3600 working again. I cant clear cmos and jump directly to 3600 as...

    *** PSVR2 owners thread ***

    I noticed a VR game 'Cactus Cowboy' whilst browsing the ps store which is surprisingly Free. I didn't last five minutes or make it through the tutorial without feeling queasy though. Non of the other games I've tried have had that effect on me in such short time.

    PSVR 2, anyone interested?

    Just received mine from dpd. Didn't get a tracking number yet and still says 'preparing to ship' on the order. Might be a few disappointed folk on my street though as apparently a few more on the van don't have house numbers written on.

    AMD Polaris GPUs Can’t Run Forspoken Due To Lack DirectX 12_1 Feature Level Support, NVIDIA Maxwell GPUs Run Fine

    The demo has been patched as well and it now plays on my Hawaii R9 290, not that that's necessarily a good thing. It defaults to 1440p Low settings. It plays ok but looks like ass with broken hdr which seems forced on. Its a thing of beauty lol. Running on 22.6.1 Legacy Drivers

    Nvidia enters the space heating business

    Is this the solution to getting above 30 fps in Forspoken with ultra settings???

    ***The Official 5900X \5950X owners thread***

    Its probably ok. I think your doing great for only 1.23v . Mine cant do 4.6 all core even with 1.35v with a weak ccd1. Using dynamicOC feature I have set each ccd to where they will pass the 10minute R23 multi test with a score of 30495 although It will land nearer to 30800 with a single...

    13900K underperforming by 20% in 3dmark, fine (40k) in Cinebench r23.

    Timespy doesn't like more than 16 threads. (Solution on amd would be to disable 1 ccd or smt to improve performance) Also running the steam version will lower scores. How much will deend on whatt steam is doing int he background.
