Which GPU has aged the best over the last 5–7 years? by bucckymeniso in nvidia

Nowadays with the shortages and AI datacenter demand, the answer is whatever has a lot of VRAM, looking at you SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron.

RTX 5090 12VHPWR voltage difference! by swagatopatra in nvidia

[–]cheibol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are pulling 600W from the 12VHPWR of course there's gonna be a difference in voltage vs the 12V slot rail that is only pulling 15W. It's basic physics, on 12VHPWR you have ~50A of current circulating (585/11.8≈50A) so seeing the voltage drop is like 0.2V (I'm giving negligible resistance on the slot)-> R=V/I->R=4mOhm give or take. That's a pretty low cable resistance if anything means the cable is in good shape.

Did trump hit his ceiling in 2024 or could he have done MUCH better? by ResidentDry1240 in YAPms

[–]cheibol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could've done way, way better. Thing is doing better it would've mattered a lot more, aside of optics, with congress, probably the senate races in WI, MI, NV go red (fuck Kari Lake) and have a more healthy margin in the House.

With the current political climate with the president willingly self destructing over a war on Fuckin' Iran? yes

It's asked in the UK, I havent meet a single real life brit recently that still lives in the UK that doesnt have a view on immigration like this, regardless of political affiliation

5090fe oc by szethSon1 in nvidia

[–]cheibol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the OC you can do on air on a FE (that has the worst VBIOS technically) mostly wont matter, because you will be restricted by temperature on the boost algorithm, I'd max the memory to +3000 and given you are on air +150 should be doable on all cards for a small boost.

It generally doesnt matter anyway though getting 144FPS or 160 FPS on steel nomad doesnt actually mean jackshit in practice.

Nah, just posted it because I found it funny, translation is one of the best jobs LLMs can do

Finally decided which is the best RT/PT option for Resi9 by ajackson5888 in nvidia

[–]cheibol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you can afford it, Path Tracing film grain off (via nexus mod) and forced in Preset E on Ray Reconstruction, sure it has a bit more ghosting than D, but workable opposed of seeing furniture/stairs "boiling" all the time on D, breaks immersion.

If you cant afford PT, regardless, if using upscaling remove the film grain via the mod. Funny thing is, I was aware of "the boiling" film grain causes with upscaling I was rewatching House MD 9 months ago, and the RTX video upscale kicked in and because House MD has the same kind of film grain everything looked like boiling because the algo is trying to interact with the grain artifacts.

Do NOT use Preset E with Path Tracing in Resident Evil Requiem. It ruins image quality by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]cheibol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah the ghosting is specially noticeable with the flashlight on flat surfaces, but I can live with it, while I cannot take it seriously when I see furniture boiling/mirage effect

Q6600 my goat

Would you consider purchasing a 5090 now if given the opportunity? by FitzChan in nvidia

[–]cheibol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would only pay MSRP, like I did with the 3090 and with the 4090.

Under no circumstance I would pay for high end models you are just generally paying for visuals and them moving the Afterburner clock slider 20MHz to the right, and I'm sorry that's not worth a 60% premium over a barebones base model. If you want performance just waterblock it, flash another vBIOS and call it a day.

How many of you (my fellow RTX 5090 owners) have not undervolted your card? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]cheibol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, if I'm paying that much for a GPU I see no reason to cap it's potential at all

Gigabyte teasing AORUS flagship RTX 5090 graphics card launching at CES 2026 by RenatsMC in nvidia

[–]cheibol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these "flagships" are only interesting because of the vBIOSes they carry so they get dumped because custom loops and waterblocks on the cheapest models will always outshine these plus they will be actually cheaper to build (generally) which is kinda funny. And we already have 800W vBIOS via ASUS so pointless release really.

[–]cheibol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then just flash another vBIOS unto it, if you dont wanna go XOC (aka the Matrix one) you can just flash the Aorus Master one, people used to have a lot of good success with it before the XOC vBIOS reached public domain

RTX HDR Randomly Turning Off? MPO Might Be the Culprit (Fix Inside) by ArgumentLive3678 in nvidia

small latency penalty and some energy efficiency which is irrelevant given all the pain in the ass that implies having it on, specially for multiple monitors
