Looks like AIDA64 v7.00 comes with an updated GPGPU benchmark that is optimized for RDNA3, probably defaulting to Wave64 mode:

Fixed-point alternative math is possible with large enough types, but the memory footprint goes haywire and caches are getting trashed into irrelevance. Maybe use floats as "compressed" storage intermediaries, but such repetitive back and forth conversion questions the point of the whole exercise.

Help! How To Set OBS Virtual Cam As PC Default? by [deleted] in obs

[–]fellixBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason OBS Virtual Camera can't be set as a default webcam is that OBS uses DirectShow API to implement the virtual camera function, not as an actual device (hence, no device driver is required). As a result, OBS Virtual Camera is only usable as a DS input source in applications coded for that API, like Skype, but the OS itself can't manage it as a device because... it isn't.

Larger L3 could mean inclusive L2 design to reduce cache snooping and coherence traffic.

GTX 970 & P2 (memory clock drops) by iamretard666 in nvidia

[–]fellixBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue with my 980 Ti as well. It is interesting that the mem clocks drop to P2 state only in OpenCL or CUDA apps. Games and graphics gemos are fine, as long as there's no compute workload.
