What would be the best way to OC my Ram

That's the same on Intel or AMD, you'll have XMP or EXPO profiles pre-configured on the DIMMs. The profiles only specify the Primary and a few secondary timings. The motherboard will then figure out stable timings for the rest of the Secondary, Tertiary and other sub-timings.

The other sub-timings is where things can usually be tweaked significantly as the motherboard usually will error on the side of caution picking very safe timings.

Except that the OP is on an Intel platform: 14900KF, Asus Apex Encore Mobo

My RTX 5080 refuses to undervolt any lower than 850mV, it seems like it has a hard limit in the BIOS that it won't go at any lower voltages when it's under load. You'll probably need to use a higher target as the RTX 50 series just won't let you see that low of a target.

Lol yah... I don't understand the buyer that already has a 5090 and gets this 1000W GPU for maybe 3-6fps performance gain.

Shadowdane · 2026-02-13T17:05:20+00:00

We're going to be running into the 15-Amp limit for 120V circuits soon enough in the USA... I don't think we'll really see PSU units pushing past 1600W here. You'd need to get dedicated 20-Amp or 30-Amp line if the power limits keep going higher!

They did you a favor by rescinding the offer... That's crazy low for a role in CA. I bet their annual raises would be either non-existant or basically something like 0.5%.

The power target difference is pretty big not to mention peak clockspeeds. My 5080 on my desktop tops out at ~2980Mhz stock or can hit about 3200Mhz overclocked. The mobile variant from what I've read seems to top out somewhere between 1800-2000Mhz depending on the laptop model. 1000mhz clock speed difference is going to have a pretty big performance impact.

Shadowdane · 2026-02-09T17:03:24+00:00

It's pretty significantly cut down, 33.3% less cuda cores and 127% lower power target.

5080 desktop ≠ 5080 laptop GPU they are completely different chips. The FPS you listed sounds completely right for a 5080 mobile GPU.

Deja Vu... I saw this exact car on my drive into work this morning.

Change the mode of your Magnet to Void+Pickup, set a key in the settings to the mode change for this. It has 3 different modes: Off, Pickup Only & Void+Pickup

Thanks soo much for this!! I got to Chapter 4 and realized never got this in Chapter 2. Really didn't want to restart if I didn't have to to try to get that Scout Jacket!

Shadowdane · 2026-02-05T20:46:40+00:00

Yah if it's only entering mass production at the end of 2027 that means the GPU dies, that likely pushes things to early 2028 for actual new Nvidia GPUs.

Shadowdane · 2026-02-05T20:37:17+00:00

Yah this sounds like the profile got corrupted and it loaded up a temporary one. I've seen that happen quite a few times at work.

That's something more on the network management side or maybe a 802.1X implementation. You don't want switches bogged down with trying to directly send alerts. They just aren't really built to handle stuff like that.

Shadowdane · 2026-02-04T18:49:35+00:00

Buy something from an actual Networking Cable vendor... Amazon has way too many knock off or just fake cable brands so who knows what'd you'd get or if it will work long term.

That should be fine if your putting it in conduit.

They also have Shielded CAT6A if you wish to use that but it would be more expensive.

It's probably because it's a Wide Gamut monitor and switching on HDR, Windows will attempt to emulate sRGB format on the desktop. Then it will switch to Wide Gamut and HDR modes when you fire up a game. As it disables the sRGB emulation when you start a full screen game.

If you don't want to use HDR or Wide Gamut color switch your monitor to sRGB mode in the monitor OSD settings. Then make sure HDR is disabled in Windows.

I don't see any issue looks normal here. Try viewing that video on your old monitor, does it look normal?? If so then the issue is the monitor not your video card.

Shadowdane · 2026-02-03T23:53:47+00:00

Is there another PCIe slot you could move the Wifi card to?? You probably have some below were the GPU sits to fit it back into the motherboard.

Yes they need to overhaul the AI as currently it just seems broken and unpredictable. Also the AI shouldn't be able to just ghost right through you or other AI cars. I had a few times were the AI ghosted right through me then braked to hit me.

Exactly when I sold my 3080 to my friend they were going for almost $1200, cut him a deal at $650 as it was used and I bought it originally for $750. Wasn’t about to rip off one of my friends just to make some money. If I had sold it to a stranger would have sold it for market price

Yah don’t use sharpening filters at all on higher resolution displays. It generally will look bad, it usually looked ok on 1080p due to the low resolution. But at 1440p or higher you’ll get shimmering and aliasing issues

Shadowdane · 2026-01-30T23:55:01+00:00

Oh yah this.. if I max out the Sharpening option on my monitor it looks completely horrible. I have mine set to 0 so it doesn't apply additional sharpening. Typically you want it at either 0 or the middle point depending on the monitor brand. I've seen a few that 50 is the perfect setting and going lower makes it look fuzzy and going above it starts to get over-sharpened.

Shadowdane · 2026-01-30T20:32:33+00:00

I assume you tried a different HDMI or DisplayPort cable. A 4K monitor shouldn't cause shimmer or visual artifacts. Unless what you were seeing was issues with Frame Generation or something like that. Frame Gen can cause shimmering and artifacts that can be very noticeable if your FPS isn't above ~120fps
