NVIDIA 4000 Series

That was a piece of non black background in the game scene, needed a clean dark area of scene so the figures were clear

Game is Still Wakes the Deep, but the same would apply to Hellblade 2 too as well (UE 5.4) which is similarly well optimised.

Thanks was just wondering what game was tested as you didn't state, next time maybe full screen screenshot so can see what it was rendering at the time too with the data so can see how intensive the scene was as you could look up at the sky or a wall and would read silly high FPS too.

Can't post screenshots until after Monday 2PM when the game launches

But given that's the average numbers over a 50 minute session (50 minute video at 5160x2160 of pure gameplay of that session is uploading right now too, it's 44GB of footage lol), you can easily ascertain what the average nominal framerate was if the average value shown above wasn't convincing enough

I'm thinking this time round I need to update my CPU before my graphics card. The way prices seem to be going as well.... I think I'll be keeping my 4090.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

At least get an x3d in there. The poor 5600 just doesn't have the legs for a 4090.

Is there a way to show the current IDLE power consumption of an Nvidia card. On desktop, or just browsing the web / YouTube for example. I'm aware that GPUz shows all kinds of wattage usage, but is there something that shows total current power being used?

I've got a 5900X and even that bottlenecks the 4090FE in some VR games. I'll upgrade to the new processors when the 3D versions come out for a nice boost.
I could switch to a 5800X3D but I'd rather save the pennies for a full upgrade.

Have you tried hwinfo portable? Last time I looked, it had a lot of sensor data.

 

[mrk]

Hwinfo64 will do exactly that.

 

[Benaforce]

a lot of it comes down to specific engines....my 4080 OC rips through a heavily modded Starfield yet gets a bit choppy on Cyberpunk.

Naughty programmers.

In more and more games 5800x3D is also hitting a wall (usually just above 100fps) if one likes high FPS. 7k or 9k x3D will be the way to go for me - I'm waiting for benchmarks and release to judge, as 7k already seems fast enough currently and it's getting very reasonably priced.

which games?

 

[Benaforce]

im seeing the 7800X3D hit walls in certain conditions.

which games?

Plenty of examples, especially in more CPU demanding places but just to name a few - current WoW expansion in big cities, Riftbreaker often sits in heavy fights on just above 100 (7800x3d is considerably higher in same place), Home World 3 drops below 60 in heavier combat (I've seen below 30 in places), Horizon Forbidden West in most places hit my cpu limit before GPU does at around 100, etc. Sure, aside hw3 and wow the rest are still plenty playable but I like to get as close to my monitor refresh rate (175) as I can, because why not? RT games are also quite dependant on the CPU speed as in places GPU is waiting for CPU to finish the job, lowering final FPS.

I’m still on a 5800X with a 4090 and would have probably got a 5800X3D but the price would have needed to be under £200 to make me consider it.

The reality is it’s not much different in price to a 7800X3D despite that being much faster and on a better process so it just feels like the 5800X3D is a rip off at this point and there to try exact the maximum price for those trying to make a saving by staying on AM4.

 

[Devious]

I am on a 5600X with a 4090 and agree that the 5800X3D is too expensive an upgrade. I'm waiting for the 9800X3D release and see if 2nd hand prices come down but will probably go for a new system build with that or Arrowlake if any good.

 

[opethdisciple]

The 5800x3d has been as low as £240 over the last year or two.

 

[Rab]

5800x3d price up and down so much, saw the low price 240 a while back. seems it always between £270-300+ Now.
but today you can get the 5900 for £210, that not a bad price if staying on same platform.

It's ok for a workstation. But the problem is from a gaming perspective not a big difference between a 5600x and a 5900x.

Yeah going for a new system is exactly what I'm doing, been slowly buying up parts over this year when a deal comes up so now all I need is CPU ram and MB but will wait till everyones cards are on the table before making a decision on what to go with.

Interesting. I've got a 7700x.
