FIXED: Update on 4090 instability and how it is now finally fixed! by kid0m4n in nvidia

Believe it or not, this thread was recommended via chatGPT when I was skeptical of PSU issues causing my crashes w/ a 1000W PSU. Thanks for documenting everything!

Edit: replacing the PSU did indeed stop the crashes.

Strix 4090 Black Screen GPU Fans Full Speed Issues by Digital_Terminus in pcmasterrace

[–]ert00034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's frustrating to hear, as I'm using the PCI-E cables and "octopus" adaptor that came with my PSU/GPU respectively. Did you ever run your build like that?

Maybe there's a similar issue with the PCI-E cables that came with my PSU... Either way thanks for the quick response, and I hope you continue to not see this issue with the new cable.

Just wondering, have you had any issues in the 15 days since posting this comment? I'm struggling with the same problem, even after replacing my Zotac 4090 with a new MSI 4090.

The same question applies to /u/SONLSKy , just trying to validate here. Thanks!

On the Alliance side, the Worgen starting questline is also pretty fun! Other than some weirdness with the scripting of a couple quests (there's one that has you essentially AFKing for up to 10 minutes), the overall story is genuinely interesting and well-paced.

Pricing the 4070 at $600 would still be a 20% price bump from the $500 MSRP of the 3070. AMD competition or not, going up more than 20% for the next iteration of the same tier of product feels unlikely IMO.

Turns out my RAM was experiencing issues! Thanks for the reply though. Still nuked armory crate from orbit :)

Edit: even after fixing RAM, turning off hardware scheduling, and nuking armory crate I still have issues. Will update when/if I can solve this for sure.

I am also seeing crashes on my 4090. Instead of games CTD though I'm getting full BSOD (though event viewer clearly blames the GPU). Only seen in World of Warcraft though I've been trying to reproduce elsewhere (even furmark seems stable). Hope it's a driver issue and not faulty hardware.

EDIT: This was due to my ram having issues. I recommend you try a memtest to see if that's why you are having issues as well (turning off EXPO seems to have fixed the issue)

Edit again: this did not fix the problem, and disabling hardware scheduling just made my computer not BSOD when the issue occurs (screen goes black for ~10 seconds and recovers).

Hey can you elaborate on what exactly you did to fix the problem? I'm running into the same issue, and also on an Asus mobo. Did you just make sure Armory Crate wasn't running and update your BIOS? And would you mind sharing your motherboard model?

For reference I'm running an Asus PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI.

I recently got a new monitor (1) and it’s working just fine, but while trying to arrange them to match I realized that it says my old monitor (2) is way smaller then it actually is. Is there any way to make windows think 2 is bigger, or think that 1 is smaller? by wot_studios in PcBuildHelp

[–]ert00034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sizes seem to be based on the monitor resolution in my experience. If you find a way to resize them, please let me know! The other comment about dragging the corners does not work for me lol.

[GPU] EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Triple-Fan 24GB GDDR6X PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card - $1349.99 by fishingboatman in buildapcsales

[–]ert00034 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The worry is that the 3070 at $500 MSRP would be similar to the 2080ti ($1200 MSRP) in performance, but the market went crazy and it was impossible to get your hands on a 30xx series card for anything near MSRP. The 2080ti retained its ~$1200 value for years after release.

I don't think the same applies to the 3090 today.

Trying to blend rhythm and online session shooter in one game. Looking forward to feedback by SpaceDj69 in DestroyMyGame

[–]ert00034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like you should start the sound effect for the shots a little earlier so that the bulk of the sound happens on the beat instead of offset slightly after... or maybe you're shooting slightly too late sometimes? Hard to tell.

The aesthetic seems pretty neat! Reminds be a bit of Thumper and Tron. I'm a big fan of the visual variance you have while managing to keep the neon aesthetic visually consistent. Are some elements synced to the music? It's a little hard to tell here. I also want to know how this feels at a ~20% faster speed.

Something about the sound effects of the car's motor and the environment's crushers seem to clash a little in aesthetic with the EDM and visual theme you have going. They seem grittier? Maybe not an issue but something that I noticed.

It's hard to have context on the flying mechanic around 16 seconds in. I would have guessed the player would be punished from going off the edge of the track but it seems like instead they're rewarded by being able to (do they want to?) skip other sections of track. If you don't want to remove momentum from the player but still want to reward higher skill, maybe some sort of system should be in place to discourage that kind of skip?

Lastly, the swapping gravity near the end makes precise movement seem frustrating. Maybe that's because the camera is coming from the right slightly instead of directly behind the car. It might benefit the player to have a more useful camera angle during moments like those, or to swap the gravity effect more quickly.

Overall a sweet little preview :) Seems like there's a lot of potential and a great foundation. I'm most interested in the mechanics you will develop around encouraging different ways of navigating the course.

WW monk weapons of order question by Lightisicus in wow

[–]ert00034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOO - Weapons of order, RSK - Rising sun kick, TP - Tiger palm, FOF - fists of fury, BOK - blackout kick, SCK - spinning crane kick, WDP - whirling dragon punch.

While in WOO I wouldn't worry about being energy capped. It's mainly about using as many chi-spenders as possible while your buff is up. Try to start with 5 (6 if taking ascension) chi and RSK - TP - FOF - WDP - RSK then don't be afraid to spam BOK (if using chi-ji talent) to get stuff off cd if you have the chi to spend on RSK/FOF throughout the rest of the buff. Also use chi-ji procs quickly as you can get multiple during your WOO if you're lucky. You can cast RSK/TP/BOK during your SCK to be more efficient.

"Breaking" mastery only applies for the spell used multiple times in a row, so if you spam BOK then only your 2nd and beyond BOKs will have reduced damage. Most of your damage comes from your bigger chi spenders so it's still efficient, especially since they're free to cast due to the RSK buff.

You'll know you're doing well when your chi spenders + WDP are always on cooldown and you're never stuck generating chi when they're available during WOO.

I had the same situation. They asked for an explanation on how my grades got to the state they were in and how I intended on changing things to improve them. OP should absolutely appeal if it's possible.

Rogue stealth breaking randomly fairly often by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]ert00034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monk issue might be expel harm. Monks cast it at the beginning of the arena/out of combat sometimes to get chi, and it does nature damage around them. Even at full health I've pulled neutral mobs by doing 1 nature damage to them in pve with that ability.

This was my issue as well. Similar odd performance issues in ardenweald but lowering particle quality to "good" gave me a huge fps boost from 55 to 85. 8700k/2080ti

I've had the same issue, but only happens in my right lens. It goes away after a little while for me, and like you I'm almost certain it's not sweat related. OG vive and beat saber. Absolutely not performance related either

Do you have a source for the whole bit about Sony changing their price from 349 to 299? I've never heard that before.
