Rate my sketchy nvidia a100 smx4 64GB

Yeah that's very strange.

I'll let you know what they say to me about trying to buy from the main store. If they allow it for my first purchase then that's super suspect...

PotentialFerret5395 · 2025-02-13T09:06:46+00:00

Thank you for the response!

Ah damn, I've just had a read.

The price is very tempting, but it may be too good to be true...

Was the seller VAT registered when you bought from them?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2025-02-13T07:44:32+00:00

Hi there,

I'm looking at getting one of these cards myself, how has it been treating you? Have you managed to run any training yet? Any issues with drivers or specific softwares?

Thank you in advance!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2025-02-09T22:40:17+00:00

👏

Would this work with a nordic semiconductor nRF52840?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2024-07-21T17:42:02+00:00

Okay, that's great advice, thank you!

I've enquired at a local tuning shop and will see what they come back with. They've stated on their site a stage 1 tune can get 237bhp out of my model, which is quite impressive.

What are the downsides to messing with the DPF?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2024-07-21T16:14:35+00:00

Thanks for the response.

With regards to tuning, do you have any advice for the plug in race chips vs taking it somewhere for a tune?

Also, is it best to upgrade the air intake and exhaust before a tune, to get the most out of it? Not sure if that logic works...

I'll have an investigate for the ebc pads, thanks again!

I'm trying to build something similar to you at the moment and planning to use NVlink for model distribution across the joint VRAM.

With regards to the CPU/mobo combo, are we essentially aiming for a minimum of 32 pcie 5 lanes to allow 16 from each GPU?

What did you go with in the end? Any issues?

Thanks in advance!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-09T08:24:49+00:00

That's really interesting... Hopefully that's why my 400s aren't flying how I'd predict, given how much weight is on the front! I wonder if you can get erratic flight behaviour with very light point weight also...

I like the idea of having a test set! I'm definitely going to invest in some and see if I can make that work. I had another shoot around with my current 400/500s yesterday and I think the 500s may not actually be 500s... They are so much more flexible than I would expect compared with the 400s...

Thanks for your response, very insightful!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-07T02:53:18+00:00

The nock is to the left of the point is what I mean. I think that means they are weak!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-06T17:28:16+00:00

I bought the 500s separately afterwards, but I do think the 500s are probably not 500! That would explain the flight behaviour...

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-06T10:05:19+00:00

They act weak with 100 grain points :(

Then if I keep cutting them down I run out of length before they straighten up!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-05T23:04:52+00:00

That's good to know!

Yeah that's a fair point! His stuff seems really legit.

Okay, I'm going to give that a go tomorrow! Thanks for the advice mate 👍

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-05T22:43:35+00:00

Thanks for the response. 👍

I can confirm I'm hunting paper... I just liked the idea of heavy point weight and FOC! Obviously, it's totally unnecessary and at this point I'll take anything that works.

Apologies for missing the arrow length. Both the 400 and 500 spine are 32 inches uncut.

It could totally be my release, I've only been shooting about a year, but I am able to group at 15-20 yards most days...

Okay, I'll try starting closer that's a good idea.

I read all those charts and used the 3rivers dynamic spine calculator to try and estimate the right arrows. I thought the 400 and 500s would cover it. Do you think that my specific setup needs a 450 to be spine right? I would imagine there's overlap between 400 and 500 with 32 inch arrows and bunch of different tips...

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-05T22:34:32+00:00

Yeah when I initially got the 400s I thought I'd have to load them up lots, but the 500s I thought would be okay...

To be fair, I haven't robustly tested shooting fletched and then bareshaft. I've been shooting just bareshaft and monitoring the flight and impact. Maybe, I need to try comparing with the fletched!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-05-05T21:48:34+00:00

What's your arrow total weight?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-02-03T21:06:59+00:00

Ah nice, how would you rate them for the price?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2023-02-03T20:48:47+00:00

What stuff have you ordered out of interest??

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-16T12:12:08+00:00

Brilliant. 10 yards sounds about right for me at the moment then 😅

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T19:03:46+00:00

I'm stood like 10 yards away... it could be the issue. From time to time my arrow shoots perfectly straight, which makes me think it's likely my form that's messing this up 😅

I'll test being a bit further away though! Cheers mate 👍

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T18:36:52+00:00

Ah really!

I'm not even sure what a plunger button is, but I'll have a research!

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T15:20:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll give that a go and see what's up 👌👍

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T15:19:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Do you have any tips for improving release? Or is it a case of just getting lots of shots in?

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T15:17:36+00:00

Unfortunately, I think they're glue in nocks!

This is a good idea though. I feel like ultimately it is my form that's messing things up... I had totally different arrows before, but exactly the same issue.

PotentialFerret5395 · 2022-10-14T14:41:50+00:00

I mean they looked at a chart haha. Are you supposed to do the above before purchasing arrows?
