    Melted CableMod 4090 90 degree adapter

    The 4080s haven't had any cases of melting as far as I know and they draw up to 320W for the FE, maybe 350W I would guess for OC cards. The 4090 is up to 450W at stock so 80% should be around 360W so probably fine? Unfortunately "probably" is not really good enough when £1500-2000 GPUs'...

    Melted CableMod 4090 90 degree adapter

    I am pretty sure that Cablemod really thinks the problem is with the GPU sockets or the cables plugging into their angled adaptors, (parts they have no quality control over) : they talk about the male end potentially coming loose and melting. They already tried to optimise their sides of the...

    Melted CableMod 4090 90 degree adapter

    Does anyone have any good 90 degree cable or adaptor alternatives? The default 3 PCI-E to 12VHPWR cable included in the box barely fits in my O11D. I am pretty fed up as I already bought a v1.1 adaptor in addition to the first version. My Coolermaster 100W PSU does not have a native 12VHPWR...

    VSync on or off?

    Thank you :) To quote from the linked article: "Upon its release, G-SYNC’s ability to fall back on fixed refresh rate V-SYNC behavior when exceeding the maximum refresh rate of the display was built-in and non-optional. A 2015 driver update later exposed the option. This update led to...

    VSync on or off?

    If you have a G-sync monitor and enable G-sync then there are 2 main schools of thought: the Blurbusters group say to enable V-sync as well, since this reduces blur to a minimum. The low latency group say to disable V-sync with G-sync as it increases latency, but to set the max refresh rate in...

    Show us your GPU/s.

    I tried with OneDrive and now Imgur. I still have the same problem that I cannot embed the image as the url is always with https:// and not http:// What am I doing wrong / what are you guys using to host your embedded images? Ok. Dunno how I got it working (by copying the web adress from...

    Been upgrading a lot lately, first to AM5 Zen4 7700X, then got an RTX 4080 FE before selling that to a friend and upgrading to an Asus TUF 4090. Here is the current build called Sunlit Mountain: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsMDJqyHDc8RhZ1r_f13tVY5Pcpmuw

    The Ada Lovelace RTX 4090 Owners Thread

    https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsMDJqyHDc8RhZsnJkvg1f0MaNWCDw The 29000 score is at 80% power limit, 80C, the 30000 score is at 110% power limit, 88C :p Scores could be higher as I ran these with my CPU downclocked and temperature limited for summer (my room gets pretty warm)

    The Ada Lovelace RTX 4090 Owners Thread

    Hi, I just sold my 4080 FE to a friend and got one of the new Asus TUF 4090 OG models (uses the 3090 cooler so is a bit thinner and shorter). It only cost me €1500 new (most 4090s are still selling for €1800 over here in Switzerland and Germany). I am following the advice of Der Bauer and...

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    It is all true, I'm telling you man

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    Germans are too serious to be wrong. I am married to one and live 3 days per week in Munich with her. If Germans made a mistake they would be immediately ostracised from all family, friends and neighbours for like a month :p

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    Yep, it wasn't aimed at you Bencher, rather the prior post listing all the Nvidia problems and none from AMD, then you saying you have never heard of Nvidia having problems. I replied to you with examples I have personally experienced

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    To play devil's advocate, AMD definitely DID have a lot of weird driver problems in the past but recently things have been pretty good. The rumoured driver that was causing 6000 series chips to crack was due to moisture on post mining cards. They have still had 1 legitimate bug in the last few...

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    Yep, I was all against the price increases until my 4080 arrived but I understood at least part of the rise when I picked it up. It weighs nearly twice what my 3080 did and that was itself huge compared to all my previous cards. If TSMC raised prices on chips by 30% and the build costs had to...

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    Haha, cannot say the same for the Americans regarding efficiency and logic ;) I guess the economy and cost of living crisis must be finally starting to bite a bit over there

    Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

    Germans do tend to like being logical and favour efficiency and cost effectiveness over many other criteria. Der Bauer is always trying to get folks to downclock and undervolt 4090s and high end CPUs as it is more "sensible". It would not surprise me if that played a part in them buying the...
