NVIDIA 4000 Series

I'll be keeping it around to use on the car too and it's been useful around the house so far, like you can see the radiator pipes inside of a fridge as heat signatures through the housing etc, useful to see if appliances are broken someways and stuff like that. Also useful for spotting peeping toms hiding in the bushes lolol.

It's useful for all sorts of things in the house - identifying damaged insulation on hvac/heatpumps, or leaking hvac pipes, leaking water from other pipes, air gaps where cold comes in around doors and windows, incorrect or missing spots of insulation in your ceiling or walls, it can tell if your roof is leaking, and it can even tell you if your shower or windows are leaking behind the walls etc and probably many more things I haven't thought about. Obviously it's great for electronics too, and yeah you will always win at hide and seek :D

But can it see through mud?

Titan ada coulda had over 18k cuda cores. Yet another alleged prototype doing the rounds.


The 2080ti prototype in the article is also interesting, it has GTX on the heatsink instead of RTX, makes me wonder if ray tracing was always meant to be a feature on that gpu or it was a fairly late in the game addition necessitating a change to the text on the cooler.

It's clear that at some point they had to find a way of "shoehorning" all of their AI developments into the gaming graphics cards. The shift towards RTX turned out to be a brilliant move from them.

I'm skeptical of that. Who doesnt test a card first before they start opening it up?

They've also completely stripped it, when the die being missing would be obvious much earlier.

It's literally a well documented issue right now with 4090s in various places.

They are advertised as such in nearly all cases. This just looks like someone has bought one of them and then opened a reddit thread for some publicity.

Why would you not test the card first? Also lifting the heatsink will show the die is missing. Surely stripping the entire card, makes your ebay claim much harder. The seller will now claim you removed the dies.

edit:

Example (after 1 minute of searching ebay):

apparently the 2,3 and 4000 series are getting the DLSS updated features etc..do we think it will be a big jump in assisted performance without going to the 5000 series?
 
We cannot tell right now as the chips like the tensor cores being older gens might perform ok or may be somewhat slower, we will need to test that.
 
From the sound of it the new transformer model is more taxing, so using it for dlss, ray reconstruction AND FG might be too much for 2 and 3 series, and that's why they probs won't get it
 
So the undervolting went well, got it stable at 0.975 @ 2730mhz.

Temps have dropped 5 degrees and almost 80-90w less power draw. As a result fans also running much more quiet too.

Thanks for sharing the guide.
