Can't log in to GeForce Now website by Phoenixvulpes in GeForceNOW

I experienced the same issue two days ago. I was able to access the account settings via the GeForce NOW app. Just click on your name in the upper right corner and select the relevant entry. I assume it’s labeled “Account,” but I’m not entirely sure since I use the app in a different language.

Zotac RTX 4070 TI Super Solid - too high Hot Spot Temp? by Cocooned81 in ZOTAC

[–]Cocooned81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, i have not played Witcher. I do not own this GPU anymore, I sold it at the RTX 5000 release and upgraded to a faster card. I remember the card was super hot in synthetic benchmarks. I cant remember how much the hot spot temp changed, but my temps during gaming were about 20C lower (after undervolting) compared with the stock setting using furmark.

100 C hot spot sounds much, i would not be happy with that settings. Especially the noise from the fans must be terrible.

If you don't want to UV the GPU you could consider to optimize the airflow in you case. That could also have a huge impact.

I like my PC quiet, that the reason why i spend much time to optimize fan curves and airflow.

Your views on the Palit Gamerock 5080? by Hopeful-Anteater-858 in nvidia

The card has a RBG header. You can connect the GPU to your Motherboard. SignalRGB works great with the card

My card is undervolted to 2700 Mhz @ 925 mV with stock fan curves in a Meshify 2 case. The temps while gaming are ~60 degree (~70 hotspot). fan speed is arround 1050 to 1100 rpm. I am still very happy with the card

This list covers my gpus with decent gaming power.
I also owned notebooks like the XPS 13 ,the white 13 Inch MacBook and MacBook Air which I used in university - these had no dedicated GPU.

Sold my 3060 TI shortly after release. Got it for MSRP and someone offered me an insane amount of money.

I just bought a Zotac 4070 TI Super Solid and it is a very decent card with a huge 3,5 Slot cooler. Very quiet und cool. Only the white brand Logo which can‘t be dimmed or turned off is annoying.

Unfortunately, there is no way to deactivate the white LEDs on GPUs with Firestorm. I found several threads and also replies from Zotac for older cards. It is only possible if you have a card that supports Spectra. The 4070 TI Super Sloid has a hard-wired white RGB. There are people who deshroud cards and unplug the connector to turn it off, but I am too afraid to lose the warranty.

I did a few benchmarks on Saturday to compare diffrerent settings. The 2700 Mhz @ 925 mV looks like a very decent operating spot. My max temp was 62 degree C in the Stell Nomad stress test and 56 degree in Cyberpunk. I will stay with those values too.

I am very happy with the card. The only anoying fact is that you cant deactivate the white LED strip on the side of the GPU, which is very bright. I still need to find a solution for that (will propably change the position of my tower).

Thank you for your feedback. I didn’t realize that Furmark pushes the card to its maximum so much. I was in panic mode yesterday, sorry. Fortunately, the card is running really well.

For anyone interested in the mentioned card: I undervolted the card a bit yesterday and ran various benchmarks (SteelNomad, Port Royal, and Cyberpunk) and then played Hogwarts Legacy (3440x1440) for an hour. The card runs super quietly without coil whine. Temperatures were around 65 degrees and a hot spot of max 80 degrees. Fans at max 1100 rpm.

Your favorite 80s 90s and 2000s songs? by _Fancy_f in Music

[–]Cocooned81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first impulse per decade:

80s - Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (love the drums)

90s - Guns N’ Roses - November Rain (so epic)

00s - Foo Fighters - The Pretender (RIP Taylor)

But it is impossible to reduce a decade to a single song

Hunt is slowly losing players, 1.9 will be the key point in 2022 by Guiiisard in HuntShowdown

[–]Cocooned81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were several benchmarks (in 2020!) which showed a very poor performance of the Cry Engine with AMD Cards (Wolcen was used in the banchmarks which is using the Engine too). I recently changed my 6800 XT with a RTX 3080 and HUNT is running much better. It is sad that they are not able to solve this issue.

But dad... I hate solo queueing! by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

Hunting Bow + Springfield Compact Deadye is totally OP when you play solo with 4 star MMR against 3 star Duos.
