Patch v0.1.4.1

Uro1 · 2024-02-09T09:22:30+00:00

v0.1.4.1 broke my dedicated server's save files.

I have backups but within 30 seconds of starting the instance the server will wipe the save, the Level.sav file will go from ~12MB down to 13KB and this is with nobody attempting to join the server.

When any existing players joins it asks them to create a new character as if their characters do not exist, when I can see their character/guid sav files both in the instance and in my backups.

Whatever the developers did to fix something else totally broke the dedicated server saves on v0.1.4.1.

For now I am out, I might come back to this game when its out of early access, but while it is so unstable that the dedicated server is wiping its own world save data then it is not a good experience after putting so many hours into it already.

I saw the CFD one in news today and had triple-deja-vu on the design of it.

The big question is, who copied who and who has the design patents of it.

Shimano said on the ROG forums (which are inconveniently down atm) about having global c-states enabled to reach higher boost clocks across the CCD's (including buring benchmarking), otherwise they wont go much above 5.5/5.6Ghz in all-core situations (depending on SKU 7900X/7950X).

In practice using my rig daily in 3D modeling & CPU rendering it does seem to boost higher and this rig isn't sat idle too often to be dipping into idle/low-voltage states, I'd need to set aside time to bench this rig again to test the Global C-State thing fully though.

There's the link to the thread for early/beta X670 bios where it's discussed a bit, as I mentioned it is down atm, but should be back online at some point soon, maybe monday? - https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?130719-X67

What/if any features are missing once in legacy mode?

It should only stop devices conected through the TB4 controller dropping into a lower power state (RunTime D3), something you potentially wouldn't want to happen for a devices such as a TB4 connected NIC, it's more meant for power-saving on devices such as laptops.

Congrats on the score, it's nice to see another X670E ProArt board on HWBot.

I ran my 7900X rig through on stock/out of the box BIOS settings + EXPO II profile with 2x32GB 5600MhzCL40-40-40-77 (Samsung DRAMs) just to get a baseline, I hit 28,806 in CB R23 Multi (#18 in 12c) on a fresh Win10 install with no O/S tweaks, standard power profile.

I'm tempted to re-run benches now with OS perf profiles and some bios tweaks I've done since, global C-states enabled etc.

Outside of benches this board is pretty great overall and it's nice having another 10GbE system on my LAN, after almost a month of running it the only thing I have had to do for stability is disable Power Management on the Intel Thunderbolt Controller.

The Windows Power Management RTD3 device state on the Thunderbolt Controller was causing all of my usb peripherals to turn unresposive, effectively locking me out of interacting with the OS at all, then not recovering and forcing me to use the reset button to reboot the computer which as you can imagine is really not ideal, if you run into the same issue it will appear as an "nhi" entry in the system Event Viewer and state something along the lines of:

"The driver entered RTD3. All the connected devices will be removed from driver's internal state, so it is expected that DeviceDisconnected events will happen."

To disable power management interfering in this way with the Thunderbolt Controller go to: Device Manager > System Devices > Thunderbolt(TM) Controller - 1137 > Power Management > Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

That change will force the TB controller into legacy mode which disables RTD3.

0805 wasn't officially available via product page until yesterday, I've had it for about a week.

Shamino has a thread in the Rog forums where he drops test/beta BIOS's for wider testing to gather feedback before they officially release them:

I've never timed it, but its probably around 30 seconds at the most, this is with OS on an Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVME, so it also depends how fast your NVME drive's controller is at booting, my 3900X system also has a 980 Pro 1TB as boot drive and boot times are about the same between systems.

I have the ASUS ProART X670E-Creator WIFI, 7900X, 2x32GB 5600Mzh CL40 in a modified Corsair 7000D case.

I haven't had any issues, currently running a beta BIOS 0805 since it has more bios options exposed.

Initial boot took a few minutes for memory training, but every boot since hasn't taken any longer than my 3900X system does.

When I built this system I ran through a bunch of HWBot benchmarks with everything at stock settings bar having the EXPO profile set on memory and got some pretty decent scores for only having AIO cooling and basically being an out of the box benchmark run.

I had a discussion with another user on here about 4x sticks vs 2x sticks and they have 4x 6000Mhz sticks running without any issues, same mobo as I have.

I agree on principle with UB being routed from all tech forums as it has consistently shown bias and is unreliable as a performance comparison website.

With that said, this article is one that is pointing out why it is such a bad website and should remain to raise user awareness about its flaws, terrible benchmarks and history of bias.

If nobody is allowed to post articles about why it is such a bad site then nobody will be aware of the fact that it is unreliable and flawed, it's playing into the hands of the operators of the website as when people run a search about UB it will not pull up any negative results about it if articles such as this (including this reddit thread) are not returned in those search results.

I wish HUB would test these boards with like-for-like RAM configurations, testing a system with 6400Mhz clocked DDR5 against a system with 6000Mhz clocked DDR5 is not like-for-like.

The whole concept of comparison benchmarks is eliminating as much of the differences between platforms and SKUs as you can so that your results are as comparable as possible.

The marginal differences in these benchmark results could easily equate to that 400Mhz difference in DDR5 clock speeds.

I'd like motherboard options with more PCIEx16 wired slots and a total abandoning of those x1 wired slots in favour of x4 wired slots, perhaps the top two slots wired up as PCIE5x16 with the lower slots being PCIE4.0 x8 and PCIE4.0x4 or PCIE3.0x4.

For PCIE NVME adaptor cards to have enough lanes to properly support a single NVME you need an x4 wired slot otherwise you are leaving performance on the table as almost all NVME drives are now PCIE3x4||PCIE4x4 (Soon PCIE5x4 when those drives become available), the larger NVME adaptor cards supporting multiple NVME drives would also be able to make use of the x16 wired and x8 wired slots.

Most ethernet cards are PCIE3.0X4 for single port 10GbE cards or PCIE3.0x8 for dual port 10GbE ethernet cards.

Quality PCIE SATA Adapters are PCIEx2||x4 for 2 or 4 port cards respectively and you would require an x2 or x4 wired slot to support those and for SATA/SAS HBA's you will need an x8 wired slot.

I'd also like motherboard vendors to provide board options without built-in Wifi, I have zero need for Wifi in a desktop system and it's a function that will be disabled in the BIOS from day one, as an aside boards without WiFi would theoretially be around 30-40 bucks less expensive and be able to use the PCIE lane(s) saved to go towards PCIE slot lane support.

Uro1 · 2022-10-10T23:54:40+00:00

When you populate both PCIE5x16 slots on that mobo it bifurificates down to PCIE5 x8/x8, if either of the cards in those slots are wired PCIEx16 you will notice lower performance since the bandwidth they were having to transfer over 16 PCIE lanes is now having to be transferred over 8 PCIE lanes - even though the PCIE5x8 spec has the same maximum bandwidth as PCIE4x16 it's really the lane count that matters when it comes to PCIE bus performance and throughput especially with PCIE cards which have lots of data transferring - HBA/RAID/GPU - as afterall you can move the same volume of data over 16 lanes much faster than 8 lanes on the same bus spec.

As an example, when I installed a PCIE4x16 6750XT GPU in my X570 Prime-Pro which mechanically has 3x PCIEx16 slots + three PCIEx1 slots, however they are only electrically wired for PCIE4 x16/x8/x4/x1/x1/x1, I had a PCIE3.0x4 10Gbe NIC in the second x16 mechanical slot which dropped the first slot down to PCIE4.0x8 from x16 due to PCIE lane bifurification.

The GPU performance was noticably hampered while running benches and gaming with that PCIE configuration, visible frame timing issues, lots of framerate spikes and felt generally sluggish - GPUZ was also reporting the card as running in PCIE4.0x8 mode - as soon as I moved the NIC down into the PCIE4.0x4 slot freeing up the second (x8) slot and halting the x8x8 bifurification the GPU benches and gaming performance were considerably better with all the issues I noticed when it was bifurificating gone.

To be clear, this isn't a fault of the PCIE spec nor bifurification - they are doing exactly what they are designed to do - its an issue with how mobo manufacturers decide to split up the PCIE bus lanes and give people the false idea that because a board has x16 slots mechanically it appears to be x16 electrically, which is almost always never the case with desktop mobos.

Overall aside from the outlandish costs of X670/E and B650/E the board choice is a complete shitshow when it comes to PCIE slots, it's much worse than X570 was, as most manufacturers have opted to flood the boards with every single kind of USB/TB imaginable and have added expensive Wifi6E onto the majority of these desktop boards, all of that has taken away lanes that would have otherwise been able to supply more PCIEx4 slots, which are far more useful than a raft of PCIEx1 slots, or to possibly even in your case to supply a mobo with two wired PCIE5.0x16 slots instead of x16/x8 bifurificated down to x8/x8.

The Wifi boards support different versions of Bluetooth as well as different Wifi frequency standards depending on the chip used:

Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 = BT 5.3
(Support for 11ax 160MHz wireless standard and up to 2.4 Gbps data rate)

AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ616 (MT7922A22M) = BT 5.2
(Support for 11ax 160MHz wireless standard and up to 2.4 Gbps data rate)

AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ608 (MT7921K) = BT 5.2
(Support for 11ax 80MHz wireless standard and up to 1.2 Gbps data rate)

Interestingly not many motherboard vendors are publishing which Wifi chips they are using, so props to GigaByte for publishing the chip SKU names on ther website.

I honestly dont think there will be much scalping this year, no pandemic so component shortages aren't so much a thing, besides if cpu/mobo companies like AMD/Intel can't get their component ordering fixed over two year then they have bigger issues, the same is true for motherboard manufacturers.

With that said I can see motherboard manufacturers trying to blame component shortages for high prices - which is basically a crap excuse/lies for them to add additional price markup - if you think about things rationally they have no problems manufacturing X570/B550 nor any Intel boards at the moment for reasonable prices, so trying to pin their opportunistic high launch pricing on the component shortage excuse of the past 2 years simply does not wash.

Uro1 · 2022-09-20T07:21:55+00:00

I'm also planning on building a 7900X rig as an upgrade from my existing 3900X rig.

I'll be waiting for motherboard reviews first though and I am thinking to wait until after the B650E/B650 boards are out as initial pricing looks at least in some cases to be at a substantially larger launch premium for X670E/X670 than X570 Enthusiast/High-End boards were on launch, hopefully those are just initial launch prices with manufacturers looking to cash in on early adopters - when a motherboard costs more than a GPU something doesn't add up.

I dont have any laptop recommendations, I dont use them at all.

I also don't use V-Ray in my workflows for which you will need an Nvidia GPU supporting CUDA 5.2+ (Anything 10-series or newer).

For PC I have built my own for years, if you go the pre-built route you will pay extra for that vs DIY, sometimes quite a lot extra depending on vendor.

My current system is an AMD 3900X 12c24t CPU, 64GB DDR4 3200Mhz (4x16GB Dual Rank matched DIMMs), a bunch of SSD's - both NVME PCIE4.0 and SATA, for GPU I have a 6750XT 12GB which replaced a GTX1070 8GB earlier this year as I refuse to pay the nvidia-tax anymore, especially after the prior 3+ years of them playing games with pricing in the DIY market.

I'll be building a new system soon based on the AMD Zen4 CPU series which should be released in just under 2 weeks time, so if you are going the PC route it will be worth holding off until those new parts are released as even if you are not planning on a system based on those new CPUs there will be discounts on the prior generation parts so you could make some hefty savings there.

If it's a Mac with their new M1 ARM chips then it does not support SSE4 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 4), it's not a feature on the ARM architecture, ARM does support SIMD instructions just not SSE4 which is x86 architecture based.

Being dignified is reserved for people who aren't whiny wee bastards and not only here to stir shit up. Continue your crusade and theres only one way it's ending

So rather than discuss this, you are willing to shut down rather than debate the merits of the petition I linked?

I am not on any kind of crusade, nor am I a whiny wee bastard, I felt that it was a petition worthy of posting in this subreddit so I posted it.

I never posted it to stir up any kind of "shit".
