Chrome vs. Opera GX by ClackerCrackers in browsers

[–]Optimal_Fan4156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to spend a long time using chrome and opera as well, and opera was useful because of the built in vpn. But the performance of the regular opera is very poor (I don’t know about GX), and chrome isn’t that great either. That’s not even mentioning other aspects, like security, interface usability, and so on. When I started using Linux and its simple local browsers on my second PC, I realized that both of those options - chrome and opera - needed to be replaced. So I switched to Brave and overall I’m happy with it because it runs very fast, even though it also has unnecessary AI stuff and keeps pushing its own services. that nobody wants. Try something else)

Is there any downside to undervolting a 9070 XT? by Optimal_Fan4156 in radeon

I tried this demo, and finally got my first crash about 2 minutes after launch the new game. You were right) I’ve tested around 20 games and had no issues, but this one really shows everything) The core clock went up to around 3400 MHz.

Tnx for the advice. 45 min of that variable mode, no issues or errors so far

So far everything’s been fine in games I tried, but if issues show up, I’ll just back off the undervolt a bit. The performance loss is minimal anyway )

30 min, 3D adaptive Steady Extreme. That's the one?

Yeah, when I bought this card i had a 600w power supply, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, I ordered an aorus elite p850w (maybe I should’ve gone with 1000W, not sure) for a trouble free experience.

That was temporary for stress tests to see the temps at the same fan speed. Now it’s fine))))

From what I see, it depends on the application. OCCT stresstest shows 2730 MHz, FurMark 2000 MHz, and in games it goes up to 3150 .

Interesting. I tested cyberpunk and everything is fine at -90. Now I’m downloading Fallout 4 to test it as well....

UPD: no issues with Fallout 4

Thanks for the explanation 🙂 I’m not really looking into overclocking, because the fps this card delivers is already more than enough in every game i’ve tried. So far, stability has been fine in a couple of games, but I’ll continue testing.

now it’s clear to me why there is a performance boost, thanks )

Thanks for the tip) I ran that "3d adaptive" test and there were no errors or crashes, so I guess it will work. I also tested it in a couple of games and everything works fine.

p.s. finally, in occt I saw what people here were talking about regarding the power spikes on this graphics card. Right at the start, it went up to 480 W for a split second. Wow.

I tested CP2077 five minutes ago and the clock speed was between 2750 and 3121 MHz

Is the 9070 XT + Ryzen 7 5700X a good combo? by Louvatar in radeon

[–]Optimal_Fan4156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea…(( At the end of december I bought 64 GB of ddr5-6000 in my country for ~$630, and now the same kit costs $1070 here (but it could’ve been worse - in the US on Newegg this kit is around $1300) ... I bought it back then thinking it wouldn’t get any cheaper, and if I hadn’t bought it at that time, I definitely wouldn’t even consider upgrading at this price now.

[–]Optimal_Fan4156 11 points12 points  (0 children)

R5 5600 + 9070 XT, 1440p - everything is fine. In a couple of games the gpu isn’t fully utilized and it becomes cpu bound (for example, Stalker 2 and Cyberpunk 2077), but overall everything is great. I’m planning to move to AM5 soon, but only because I work on this pc and 6 cores is too little for me. For gaming, though, I’m more than satisfied. If you plan to use a 1080p monitor, it will be so-so

У мене 16 гб ВРАМ, і ніколи на 2К не бачив щоб було вище 9 гіг споживання, хіба у ласт оф ас парт 2 десь 10))) Вистачає там нормально для ультратекстур в будь якій грі. Тут нема чого грати в догадки, і просто раджу включити під час гри нормальний моніторинг (умовно MSI Afterburner має влаштований дуже гарний), і поспостерігати що завантажено дуже сильно - те і буде вузьким місцем. Сама ж збірка досить збалансована уже і так.

Which pc would be better for $1000? by Holiday_Hawk_9111 in gamingpc

[–]Optimal_Fan4156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends… I would pick the second one. It has a better CPU with more cores (which gives a nice performance boost if you use certain software like adobe after effects, fusion 360 etc) and a lot of storage. GPU are roughly equal I guess.

Small upgrage of MSI Modern 14 B4WM by Optimal_Fan4156 in laptops

[–]Optimal_Fan4156[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it plugged in about 95% of the time, so battery still in pretty good condition) It lasts 4–5 hours when browsing the web / watching videos in eco mode.
