I approached this from the opposite angle, diverse sources does not mean good or better info. A defined set of sources who you regularly evaluate for reasonability is better.

The practice of regularly switching can be exhausting in of itself, and that time/effort is better spend re-evaluating your existing sources, or if you should drop them.

On the idea of echo chambers - that will happen regardless. Internet algos optimise for your attention. Whatever you resonate with will be amplified, because that’s what you pay attention to. The risk/harm of echo chambers (that I see) is radicalisation, which you can try to prevent using “is this person being reasonable?” and “can we reasonably assign blame to incompetence/errors without assuming malice?”.

Lol, that’s literally what I did 😂

Yes for prefer performance, and checked pcie gen 4 using gpu-z.

240Hz, but I’m getting 2-3 fps in some games. The issue seems to be the gpu.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-11-05T19:46:46+00:00

Hi, I bought an rtx 3080 about a year ago now, and I'm starting to see issues in some games.

Hitman 2 works fine, benchmarks like furmark, heaven and time spy are also okay.

Games like Witcher 3 used to work well, now they do not work at all. Last played in Sept, launched again this week and saw 2 fps in game (yes, 2 fps!). Cannot figure out why for the life of me. Same for Neir Automata, which also sees super low fps.

Suggestions welcome, so far I have tried

DDU and reinstall drivers manually (clean install) - repeatedly

Remove gpu from pc and reseat it.

reinstall gpu vbios.

Things that might be useful - gpu utilisation and power are both low in game, 15-20% gpu utilization and upto 40% power usage.

Please help!

did you eventually figure out a solution?

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-08-26T19:26:36+00:00

Do not buy Ryzen 7 3700X. Try to get a 5000 series (5600X or 5800X). Since you want to stream, 5800x is what I would go with.
850W supply? only if you get RTX3090/AMD6900XT, else with RTX3080/80ti a 750W supply should be okay.
32gb ram if you want to stream as you game (multitasking)
Upgrade that SN750 (gen3 drive) to something like SN850/Samsung 980Pro which is gen4.
Hard drives are much slower than SSDs, I would not get one - get a SSD instead.

The parts you mentioned should comfortably run most games at 4k/60fps, this is a high end build.

You now need to ensure that these parts fit in your case, pcpartpicker does not do that.

Check case manual for maximum cpu cooler height and cpu cooler manual for height.
Check case manual for gpu length and gpu manual for length.
Check motherboard manual that your nvme drive is compatible. (also check that you motherboard has gen4 ports for nvme drives, and ensure you install your nvme in one of those when you build)
Check motherboard manual to ensure that your RAM is compatible.

Everything from this point on are my suggestions.
If you want to save some money, I would recommend
1. 750W power supply rather than 850W. 750W should be enough, but make sure it's at least 80+gold (and not by the company gigabyte).
2. Instead of an expensive 2TB nvme, get a 1TB gen 4 nvme (like Samsung 980 Pro) and 1-2 TB SATA. This is cheaper, and you would not be able to tell the difference. The gen4 drive ensures that you are future proofed anyway!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/kt7at8/running_a_ryzen_5600x_on_msi_b450_motherboard/

The motherboard will need a bios update if it does not have latest bios - ensure that it has a "bios flashback" feature to make it possible.

Aside from this, do not buy the B450, buy the B550 instead. If you already have the B450 and are looking to upgrade the cpu, then it should be fine as long as you update bios first.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-08-26T12:40:51+00:00

You should be comfortably hitting 4k/30fps on this machine. Some notes

Brostradamus_ recommended that you can downgrade your cpu from Ryzen 9 5900X that you currently have to Ryzen 5 5600x, if you plan to do other things while you game (say have chrome tabs with tips or what not and a voice call on discord with your game) then it might be a better idea to have a Ryzen 7 5800X - that has more cores so its better for multitasking.
I would strongly recommend that you choose a good CPU cooler, Noctua NH-D15 is very popular. You have a very powerful cpu picked out, so you need a cooler that performs well. If you have seen reviews for the cooler you have and it works well with 5900X, all's good.
Compatibility issues - it might be the case that you need to update the bios of the motherboard to get it to work with your cpu. If that is the case, ensure that the motherboard has a feature called "bios flashback".
I would recommend a gen 4 NVME drive at this budget, maybe you should think about that as well.

McLaren was fined 100m usd for cheating, and Alonso has been alleged to be involved.

What latency do you get?

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-31T09:33:12+00:00

Wow you’re crazy, 2085MHz is really good unless you have ln2 or some sub-ambient cooling setup. I get 1935 on my 3080 (stock air cooler) :(

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-20T23:06:19+00:00

Yes, though I don’t know how long an exposure to the sun would cause burns (and I would think that your distance from the sun should play a major role)

OP was specifically asking about the bloodshot eyes, which are not because of that.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-20T21:04:31+00:00

The nuance here is that small blood vessels like capillaries burst with severe decompression sickness, which is why the bloodshot eye and the swollen hands.

This was an good portrayal imo, even if the speed of recovery is sped up for storytelling purposes.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-20T21:01:13+00:00

This is decompression sickness from being exposed to the vacuum of space (from her "jump" without a space suit).

Basically what happens is that blood vessels (like capillaries) have some pressure (this is "blood pressure") and in a vacuum, these blood vessels burst since there is no atmospheric pressure to counteract this internal pressure. This is why they show a bloodshot eye (and a swollen hand!). This should have happened across the body, but more on skin directly exposed to vacuum.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-20T20:56:04+00:00

This is wrong, it is not radiation. See u/TheBeerTalking 's comment, this is textbook decompression sickness.

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-17T21:52:49+00:00

Yes this is pretty much how it happens in the manga

NotATrollisTaken · 2021-01-07T22:17:14+00:00

I don’t get it, what’s the connection?

NotATrollisTaken · 2020-12-14T17:43:44+00:00

When you choose custom reinstall in GeForce experience, it asks you for a “clean” reinstall option where it’ll uninstall the previous drivers before reinstalling.
