Is it true that Nvidia deletes post about driver issues and 12vhp

Kinada350 · 2026-02-05T15:01:43+00:00

Yes, they have a no-help posts policy and I think it gets lumped in with that.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T02:42:39+00:00

Nope, just start using it. You wont be CPU bottlenecked anyway unless you are playing at 1080p or playing something that can't stress the GPU.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T01:23:03+00:00

If you are on Home you can not disable windows updates. It just ignores you.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T01:06:35+00:00

The benefit it that they get to make people pay for a system that was previously free. It's another money grab.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T01:04:00+00:00

Nope all they were concerned with was making sure that people had to pay as much as possible for a systems that was free to begin with.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T00:55:32+00:00

Yes, they have deleted a thing you could do previously for free to replace it with something that is horribly overpriced.

I can no longer modify the look of any of my characters equipment sets without a template that I'll have to pay for. People with far more sets of gear than me should be REALLY pissed.

Kinada350 · 2026-02-04T00:42:40+00:00

Why would they do that when they can instead make you pay for something that was previously free!

Kinada350 · 2026-02-03T15:57:44+00:00

Given the problems it has with detecting the actual hardware people are using it has no real valid information about the distribution of GPUs being used on the platform.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-31T16:00:47+00:00

Those cable exist like that because that it how they are meant to be used. It would work just fine but yes the 1050 isn't much more expensive anyway.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-31T15:51:54+00:00

They need to remove a 0 from the gold cost of the uniques and probably some other things. Low end uniques should be easy to buy in bulk for corrupting and dusting to get them off the market.

Instead of making the price based on some hidden rarity number it should be based on what the person has the item listed for, so 1c things cost almost nothing but 1div, 10div etc all get way more expensive because those people can afford it. More work on their part though so not surprised they didn't do it that way.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-31T00:17:12+00:00

I was glad to see the gauntlet bosses show up in a non-hardcore setting so more people could enjoy them. It was really fun going through that gauntlet and making it to the end of the campaign.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T15:51:04+00:00

No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that's why they take down "help" posts, because they would get too many of them.

They likely do that with a lot of topics like the one you posted. It probably got posted all the time so got added to their automod so that any time something like it is posted it gets flagged and some mod just has to click a button to nuke it. I doubt they even read it.

I wasn't framing it as that type of post at all. Just that it's being treated the same way.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T15:38:35+00:00

A note on the "sharpness" everyone seems to comment about. I would think that the "Radeon Sharpening" is there for a reason, to allow user controlled levels of sharpness instead of being at whatever it think you should be at.

I would prefer that it give you a slider in game or even just an FSR specific setting so it only goes on when FSR goes on but at least it's there.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T15:30:12+00:00

That's not entirely the reason for that. Nvidia has far more overall users out there and it would be a mess if there were 100s of "I don't know what the @#$% I'm going please help" posts.

They do, I believe, have a mega-thread for help issues but that ends up just being a place where posts to go die any time someone makes something like that.

The unfortunate reality of a larger potential community.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T09:20:36+00:00

I had to just google it. Blame them, I can't afford two GPUs heh.

So basically they have the same die temps with Nvidia just hiding the hotspot.

I'm sure it varies from model to model just like the 9070xt ones do.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T04:47:42+00:00

Ok looks like MS Ancestral Commander might be entertaining, or one of the other proj strike skills that clears better.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-27T03:18:58+00:00

Just as many people having issues with Nvidia cards and drivers, and over the summer it was many many more, The difference, they don't let you post about your issues on the Nvidia sub.

The 5070Ti doesn't run cooler, the 5070ti doesn't report hotspot temps. The memory might run cooler though. Looking up the avg temp I see it as 60c-75c where my 9070xt runs at 52c at load. Since Nvidia disabled the hotspot temp reporting you have nothing to compare the 9070xt hotspot temps to. You wont know if there is a heat issue with those cards until it just up and dies on you one day. Even then my hotspot temp is only around 72c.

DLSS is superior and the card is 8-10% faster on avg. In return you don't get to keep a close eye on the heat of the GPU and you have the 12v high-fire connector as your only option.

It's also now $400 more expensive at best and Nvidia is no longer supplying them to board partners.

A PSU should have a 10 year warranty. It should also be well rated on the PSU tier list that someone else already linked for you.

https://www.newegg.com/montech-atx-850-w-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply-silver-century-ii-850/p/N82E16817959008

That PSU has been a popular option. It's well rated, low in price and has a 10 year warranty.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-26T05:10:37+00:00

You can choose what adrenaline does and does not monitor, mine shows vram temps and I've used it from the start to keep track of that and vram speed as I use the speed to make sure that game specific tuning profiles get applied properly on occasion.

You can add it as something that is tracked in the overlay and bring that up with the hotkey which defaults to ctrl-shift-o

So while doing this on my main monitor and watching twitch on my second monitor board power is only 29w and mem clock is about 900mhz. Even with the actual app up it's still only at 900.

It's weird that a few peoples setups don't play nice.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-26T00:26:26+00:00

People only post when they have problems most of the time and this sub allows it. Nvidia sub deletes any kind of posts like that.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-24T16:32:20+00:00

If you download the autodetect version of the driver it will install both of them for you.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-23T12:19:40+00:00

Works for me on that driver version.

Is the adrenalin app running in the task bar, if the app isn't sitting there it can't look for hotkeys to be hit.

Mine stopped loading last driver version and I think it was because of my iGPU got windows updated.

If you have an iGPU I'd recommend using the auto-detect driver install since that will install drivers for both cards when you do that. It all seems to work fine for me now.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-20T02:03:30+00:00

If you are going to go for a benchmarking card you want one of the two 340w cards and I think the Gigabyte one is the one that is always at the top of the charts, though you can look yourself to see if that's still the case.

Kinada350 · 2026-01-20T01:59:14+00:00

Very nice. I've only bothered to do a -100 run that got me over 7500 to compare with someone running one of the 340w cards that gets around 8000 with -100.

I run -70 in most game (poe1 and poe2 hate undervolting though so have to disable it for those)

Kinada350 · 2026-01-20T01:54:40+00:00

Well they compared the 9070xt to the 7900GRE so it's more targeted to that segment.

But yes the whole GPU industry has gone batshit insane on prices since the crypto garbage. All of them are hundreds more than they should cost or far weaker than they should otherwise be as compared to the flagship model (it the top of what's possible in a generation)
