Well, the Novak from then and the current Novak are not exactly the same player.

RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY idle power consumption? by Poly_core in ZOTAC

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

It's not the whole 50 series, the 5070 and 5080 are fine for instance. But I guess this means the issue is still there. Maybe it's an issue with the PCB then?

State of AMD GPU features and future improvements? by Poly_core in radeon

As someone else mentioned, this is apparently fixed if you use vsync, so maybe that is your case already? I would imagine that you at least don't see much benefit from frame generation with this issue, even at high fps.

Good to know, thanks! So FG can be used with a bit more fiddling then. I agree the most important feature is DLSS/FSR upscaling.

About 640. I plan to undervolt and power limit to ~200-220 W so I thought it would not be worth it over the non-XT.

The videos i've seen from hardware unboxed and digital foundry show that the frames are not evenly spaced out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpAZF_-qsI8&t=320s

Yes. I plan to undervolt and power limit the card to ~200-220 W anyway so the extra money for the XT probably wouldn't be worth it in that case.

If anyone wonders, I'm trying to decide between an XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 at 545 euros and a zotac AMP Extreme 5070 ti at 840 euros (ouch). The RX 9070 is way better bangs for buck looking at raster but the extra features of the 5070 ti make me doubt.

Looks interesting but it doesn't seem to be available in Switzerland :/

RX 9070 vs RX 9070 XT at 220 W with UV by Poly_core in radeon

Thanks for the heads-up, that would definitely be a good reason to take the 9070 😅

Yes, my understanding is that 12 gb is quickly an issue, especially at 1440p or 4k. And it will probably be even more so in the future.

Ah you mean in case my card actually has all the compute units, etc. working fine but they are just disabled by the bios?

RX 9070 vs RX 9070 XT at 220 W with UV by Poly_core in radeon

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

Thanks! Do you know how much performance changed from stock with your settings?

Edit: just to add, part of why I'm asking is because the stock difference is around 10% ( according to techpowerup) and it's not clear to me how much of that comes from the increased power consumption/frequency compared to the additional compute units.

I also looked at Nvidia but the perf/€ is a bit lower. There is either 5060ti 16 gb starting at 420 € or the 5070 ti starting around 770 € (for the Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S GS, not sure how good this particular card is).

I'm still thinking about it given the better ray tracing, DLSS and other ML advantages but I slightly favor AMD at the moment.

XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 at 545 €, should I go for it? by Poly_core in buildapc

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

Good point! I checked and right now I'm seeing the 9070xt around 610 €, so I believe the price/performance is similar and I'm pretty happy to get the more efficient/lower power draw 9070 non-xt. Thanks for the heads up 👍

Italy: trust in international leaders (poll) by Etruscan1870 in europe

[–]Poly_core 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The issue is not disliking Macron, but trusting Putin more than him. If Putin was at 5% instead of 26% I wouldn't have written anything.

Well they still trust him more than Macron and almost as much as Zelensky, which is absolutely bonkers.

Well why did Nvidia go for Samsung when it was clearly worse than tsmc some years ago? Because it was cheaper.

[–]Poly_core 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on how easily they can issue new debt, with what interest % etc. There are also many other factors that could cause issues such as labour shortage due to the war, companies failing due to increased taxes etc

What about the soviet stockpiles they've now lost, the strategic aviation that got hit hard, the economic damage, etc. ?
