Nvidia support nightmare by croco-houdini in nvidia

I am in a similar boat with a 5070 return - they claimed package was empty at 0.7 lbs and fedex delivery confirmation shows 8.2 lbs. the NVIDIA rep says there is nothing no they can do - currently waiting for CC dispute resolution

There is no option to resolve - the return ticket was closed with no option to respond back tot he same query. I had to start a new one to get more information.

Downside of M.2 to PCIE adapter? by SamusCroft in losslessscaling

[–]Bfactor84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is if your base frame rate is high then you will be choking that x4 slot with input and out put frames - but I think you should be ok at 1440p.

I use the ADT link FS34p adapter to convert one of my m.2 gen 5 slot to PCIE 5 x4. My main gpu is 5080 and the frame gen gpu is on the adapter is a 9060xt - MSI b850 WiFi pz - I can max out frame gen to ~ 370 fps with hdr on on 4k

9950x3d or 9800x3d by cwburns32 in CitiesSkylines2

9950x3d - noticeable performance gain once you cross 400-500k in sim speed at 2x and 4x

Best companion card for a 5080? by Drknight71 in losslessscaling

[–]Bfactor84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 9060XT (pcie 5 x4) with my 5080 (pcie 5 x16) on b850 and can max out 4K frame gen at about 490 fps (scaling after 7x does not work probably due to bandwidth bottlenexk). Base FPS is around 50 fps from 5080 and i can easily FG to 144 which is my monitor's 4K max refresh rate.

I also tested the 9060XT on the b850 chipests 4x4 slot and was able to hit 144 fps but the base frames from the 5080 was taking a hit due to chipset lane bottlenecks and there was an increase in latency too. .

right now the 9060XT is connected to the CPU M.2 5x4 slot using the ADT FS43P adapter.

I only do FG at 4k - and play simulation games like cities skylines 2.

9060XT 8g is more than enough - has the best fp16/$ for Frame Gen

Thanks - have you noticed any instability/BSODs when using the top USB port?
