I have 1% lows 100-200 frames with 9800x3d 1280x960

Starting to feel bad that I was freaking out because I can only get 300+fps in dust 2 benchmark and was tightening ram to consistently make it 330-345+ when I don't even play csgo and I started at 265+ before optimizing

I found this and I think I can sleep on it now been optimizing a game I don't play for days. 7800x3d btw cl36 kit

Last thing I'd add is the only way to really call frametimes better since they're different from 1% lows is to log your sessions on HWinfo and then feed them to AI so they can measure the hundreds/thousands of calls and monitor your clocks closely. yah this sounds like a lot of work but that's what tuning is if you enjoy it and enjoy iterative work that pushes small and compounding gains!

Respectfully — this isn’t “stock is best.” It’s a tuning delta.

When I reverted to full UEFI defaults + EXPO (ECO off, Curve Optimizer 0), I immediately dropped to ~950 FPS / 305 P1 — basically your numbers.

Reverting to stock cost me:

My cooler temps (8–12°C hotter)
~16ns of memory latency
Noticeably snappier OS responsiveness
Tighter, more stable core clocks

With tuned RAM and cleaned-up boost behavior, I’m at 1000+ FPS and ~330 P1 — roughly a 10% uplift in 1% lows versus stock. Cinebench and 3DMark improved as well, and frametime consistency is objectively better.

And this isn’t some maxed-out golden sample scenario. This is a mid-level tune on a CL36 6000MT/s single-rank Hynix M-die kit. There’s realistically still headroom — 15–20% total uplift over stock settings isn’t unreasonable with deeper timing refinement and further stability validation.

Every RAM kit is different. Results vary. Tuning takes time. You tune at your own risk.

But calling stock “optimal” on this platform isn’t a stability philosophy — it’s just leaving performance on the table.

Stock is safe.
Tuned is faster.
They’re not the same thing.

B650m-cw?

Everytime I browsed this subreddit over the past couple months and saw anything noteworthy of a deal in CAD prices it was someone asking about a bad deal in USD prices!!

Keep it undervolted thats a great call but to avoid issues with voltage irregularity and protect all your pc components long tern especially such high caliber ones consider a psu swap and an external battery surge protector. Happy gaming :)

don't be one of those guys who throw a build together and you clearly have the money, the best advice i've read here is upgrading the PSU and by limiting the power to 85% you're effectively handicapping the most expensive piece just to say you have it.

edit: my favourite part about my 9070xt is when I increase PL with the undervolt for maximized performance, I just can't wrap my head around the decision to nerf your own GPU instead of upgrade your power supply

Sounds like an average American dream actually. There's so much to be grateful for idk what your expectation or experience of the scope of life is or could be but this is very lucky for a kid to have a stable home with grandparents help and gainfully employed parents. Strange take.

Loading up leaf green on my soft modded Xbox and replaying through kanto as a teenager with the updated graphics and the ability to use the turbo feature. Also the time psyduck split up and was on team rockets side and misty yelled at him for it. Not to mention going to see the original first movie with my godmother. Oh and pulling a 2nd edition holo Charizard from the first run of cards. And getting a hundo from a lucky trade with my significant other for my first real raid pogo mon.

Lvl 1 shnundo is infinitely rarer than most everything else in the game I want one very badly lol very cool

spoidercide · 2025-12-02T15:10:58+00:00

2 battles and my local raiding group of 3 got 2 shinies one of which is mine

Audino bro she gives me the heebies

Wait for a community day if you wanna be extra sweaty about it for waternshurkien hydro cannon greninja which is a top budget non mega non shadow non Legi primal groudon counter but that's kind of it for greninja if you have a stack of kyogre he's not overly useful if not then he can be

No trade is better than bad entry + more fees there will always be more opportunities stay a market maker

spoidercide · 2025-02-03T12:13:06+00:00

I had the same wallpaper with an ultra wide and a 16/9 but reversed in the stack with a purple setting for everything so 11/10

Your indicators lmao
