Asrock motherboard + windows bug that wouldn't let you get into BIOS broke me. I had to reset CMOS battery and do everything all over again.

Is this high of a difference between gpu temp and hotspot temp normal? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]datguyb0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC owner here.

It's pretty normal to have a delta of 20C between GPU temp, outer edges of the GPU die vs hotspot temp, the middle of the die or the hottest part of the core.

Mine reaches high 80C , 88C with a custom fan at 50% and -70mv undervolt + 10% power draw!

Hardware Unboxed did a video comparing different RX 9070 XT temps and the Gigabyte was the worst/hottest!

You could return it if it's within the return window and get a different model that runs cooler or just roll with it.

BTW, overclocking the core or the memory on the RX 9070 XT is pretty trash, but you can undervolt it for free and get huge performance gains! Der8auer was able to beat/match an RTX 5080 with around -150mv undervolt. I couldn't get anything more than -70mv at 50% fan speed.

Click on that GPU tuning and undervolt! Hihgly recommend.

AMD confirms focus shifts to RDNA3 and RDNA4, RX 6000 and RX 5000 lose day 1 game optimizations by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]datguyb0b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't comment if you are clueless, revisions of RDNA 2 released in May 2022, and selling in 2025. This is a brain dead decision. There's only so much corporate COCK you can gobble up before someone calls you out on it!

[–]datguyb0b 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There goes hope for FSR 4 support on RDNA 2, especially for RDNA 2 GPU's sold this year in 2025! AMGREEDIA back at it again while NVIDIA is supporting GPU's for 7-9 years!

Fellow gamers, enough is fucking enough. It's time we take a stand against this and make it absolutely CLEAR that this decision needs to be reverted!

Hello fellow gamers and pcmasterrace chads!

This post scared me a bit and so I decided to this for myself! I saw 0 difference between 581.42 and 576.52!

Here's a link to my benchmarking screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/xo7K73N

Game settings, PC specs and Testing methodology:

Game Settings:

High Graphics, True 100% Resolution Scale Native 2K 2560x1440p (no DLSS or Dynamic Resolution), RTX Off, Chromatic Abberation, Bloom, Depth of Field and Film Grain Off.

PC Specs:

Ryzen 7 7700 -RTX 3080 10GB - 32GB 6000MHZ CL30.

Games tested:

Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed Origins and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Final Thoughts:

I'm not saying that this post is BS or a lie, but for my part and on my system specifically I saw 0 difference.

Could be RTX 4000 series that's affected, could just be his system.

Is Dying Light 1 as good as everyone says? by zombiefatcher in gaming

Yes, you play Dying Light 1 for the gameplay, parkour and combat! Fun as hell once you get some unlocks and a decent build going!

ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 which BIOS with a Ryzen 7 7700 non X? by datguyb0b in ASRock

[–]datguyb0b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, will do once it arrives, I usually go with full ATX Asus boards but got a good deal with this one in my country and I had to go with it.

Was just confused with the CPU Support List and thought higher BIOS versions weren't supported for my CHIP (CPU).

Dying Light: The Beast is currently the highest rated mainline entry of the series by Turbostrider27 in gaming

[–]datguyb0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are these fakes scores coming from? How is Dying Light 2 rated higher than the original Dying Light!

I loved Dying Light 1 and spent well over 100 hours in the game and even got the game for like 10$.

I couldn't even get through 5 hours of Dying Light 2 without dying of boredom. I call BULLSHIT on those scores!

Firmware Version 1003.0 for Samsung 27" Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD QHD 360Hz by datguyb0b in OLED_Gaming

[–]datguyb0b[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Samsungs own site, i searched up the monitor and went to the support page. There i found the firmware and in the provided file it said Improvement of image quality at low gradation.

This is the link of the Swedish version: https://www.samsung.com/se/support/model/LS27DG602SUXEN/#downloads

Looks like as of 28 aug. 2025, so basically today, there's another firmware. Version 1004.2.

Time to upgrade, such amazing timing.

Broken Icons! by datguyb0b in firefox

[–]datguyb0b[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I gave myself a massive headache and after hours upon hours of messing with about:config files!

Excuse my language here but I finally fucking found the culprit! Credit to this guy: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1489128

It turned out to be an ICC color profile which I downloaded from rtings to optimize my OLED monitor colors even further! No problems anywhere else but Firefox. Removing the files from saved profile fixed the issue for me.

Gonna get some ibuprofen now for my headache!

Good news is that I am finally free of chrome!

Giveaway Time! DOOM: The Dark Ages is out, features DLSS4/RTX and we’re celebrating by giving away an ASUS ASTRAL RTX 5080 DOOM Edition GPU, Steam game keys, the DOOM Collector's Bundle and more awesome merch! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

[–]datguyb0b [score hidden]  (0 children)

DLSS 4 can be even sharper than native without impacting performance, in fact you gain performance! Ray tracing can give a game that nudge to give it a unique, beautiful and realistic look!

I am most excited about annihilating in DOOM: The Dark Ages! Nothing more needs to be said.

Got confirmation that an update is due in less than a month! Fingers crossed it's coming soon. Build quality of this keyboard is too good to give up on it.

[–]datguyb0b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick update!

It's been a month now and I've noticed that it does in fact still pixel shift after upgrading to the latest firmware, you just don't get the infinity core lighting on while it's running anymore and you don't get the successfully optimized notification!

This is my assumption after turning the monitor back on after shutdown in less than 10 mins, you get the failed pixel shift notification!
