If you're able to you will be a lot better off performance-wise going with 2x RTX 3080s instead as everything is pointing towards the 3090 being "only" 20% faster. That would still make the 3090 more power efficient at 350W vs 320Wx2. But hey, if you get the two 3080s you save $100 you can put...

Got the new PowerColor Red Devil today. All problems solved so I'm really happy about that. Runs some 2-3C cooler than the Asus on their default/not-OC BIOS, but that's probably down to the PowerColor being 1220MHz vs 1250MHz. The memory does come clocked higher at 7GHz vs 6.6GHz so...

Yeah, it's more than enough. It's a 400W 80 Plus Gold (90% efficient) unit. I made sure by running MSI Kombustor coupled with Intel Burn Test on 3 cores/threads (gotta leave 1 core for Kombustor) for 12 hours straight when I first got the card. The power supply was at room temp and the fan was...

Dang. I bought it on Amazon a month ago but because of their extended holiday returns I have until the 31st of January to return it. Is flashing a custom BIOS very risky?

I did, actually. I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue with the HDD so I installed Unigine Valley on the SSD and left it running. I set it to DX11 on High settings with 4xMSAA at 1080p. It ran anywhere from 40FPS-120FPS depending on the scene, the average being right at 60FPS. CPU usage...

Thank you! Unfortunately for me I had all drivers installed so that's not something that I could look into as a reason. The computer is running a clean install of Windows 10 Pro AU and the only things I have running in the background are Google Drive, my Bluetooth settings, Steam, and my...

Depends on the game. On this one since it's an older, less demanding game everything runs cool: 53-62C for the CPU and 50-60C for the GPU. On demanding games like Battlefield 4 on Ultra it'll be 68-78C for the CPU (Tj max is 98C) and 64-72C for the GPU.

https://youtu.be/hMFFNi9SKBA https://youtu.be/iwbUUA_yzoQ Trying to get to the bottom of what's causing this. It happens no matter the game and no matter what drivers I use. Just did a clean install of Windows on the SSD; game is running on HDD. Seems to happen completely randomly, can be...

All this new stuff since Sandy Bridge seems underwhelming. I used to have a rig with a Haswell Core i7-4790K, 16GB of DDR3-2400, and a Radeon R9 390 which I had to sell when I moved from Puerto Rico to Texas and now looking at budget options I got the HP workstation in my sig used and put in...

What would be the fastest and most recent thing I could get for that amount that can work on the AT&T network? I'm trying to help out my mom who had a Nokia Lumia 520 but it died. She has a small budget. It can be Windows Phone as that's what she was using up to now, but she was kinda bummed...

Whatever, dude. Again, most people don't care either way. I don't care if you're a nerd. What you're nerding out about 80% of the population don't care about, because it rarely makes any big change to the experience. BTW, talking specifically about updates, I said nowadays. I also said .1...

They always take longer if they're not Nexus devices. No matter if they have a near-stock version. Always. That and non-stock ROMs many times (ZenFone included) add some useful features, which again, I could easily argue is important to some people. Some people also don't care about OS...

Thanks! I'm excited! Should be at 5M points in 8 days only. :thumbsup:

Just went from 2M to 3M f@h points in 6 days. Gunning for 4M in 4 1/2 days now that I'm getting 210-220K PPD average. Also gonna go into the top 100 in overall TeAm AnandTech points in a few hours. :thumbsup:

You can root it and remove all of it if you don't like it as well. Or you can take stock Android and add features with different ROMs. It's not like you're forced to have to use it.
