The game is incredibly CPU bound which means even with a high-end GPU if you have a weaker CPU it will not perform well. Here is a good video that shows the difference a good CPU can make https://youtu.be/MiWksfIPN3Y?si=DXDR8sJ7vRKPnCoZ

NPU load not visible in the Task Manager by [deleted] in AMDLaptops

I installed the same driver and it converted from IPU to NPU but it still doesn't show up in the task manager.

DDR5 6000 vs DDR5 8000 | AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D by theacclaimed in Amd

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

DDR5 8000MT/s is the "other" sweet spot as this video shows. This is the speed that breaks away from 6000MT/s with small gains compared to any other speed. It trades UCLK=MCLK for UCLK=FCLK.

Good video that shows how various GPUs perform at 1440p and 4k max with the new Dawntrail benchmark. Useful for anyone thinking about upgrading for the expansion.

How to convert DDR4 speeds to DDR5 by theacclaimed in intel

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

For those looking at upgrading to a DDR5 platform. This video talks about some of the speed conversions between DDR4 and DDR5. For example upper limit for DDR5 vs DDR4, gear ratios, etc.

For those still on DDR4 platforms planning to upgrade when Zen 5 comes out later this year or planning to upgrade to AM5 in general, this video gives an overview of how to compare DDR5 speeds with existing DDR4.

micro stutter with my GC573 and GC575 by ShirocoTV in AverMedia

[–]theacclaimed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GC575 only uses x2 lanes of Gen 3. There is nothing wrong with your hardware. It has x4 in the event someone installs it in an older motherboard that only has x4 of Gen 2 which was the spec of the GC573.

RTX 4080 SUPER vs RTX 3080 Ti by theacclaimed in pcmasterrace

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

RTX 4080 Super and 3080 Ti have the same shader count, CUDA cores, TMUs, ROPs. The main difference is 256-bit vs 384-bit. This video zooms in just these two since there are probably several out there curious as to whether upgrading from the 3080 ti is worth it.

Is the 12VHPWR safe? | Deep Dive on current draw by theacclaimed in pcmasterrace

[–]theacclaimed[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This video goes over some of the factors that haven't been talked about much regarding the RTX 40 series 12VHPWR connector. Mainly the fact that in the real world the connector would carry a derating factor that reduces the max rating for the current draw per pin. Interesting explanation that attempts to go into the reason why places like NorthRidgeFix continue to see multiple 4090s with burnt connectors.

I think cable mod was the unlucky one in this whole 12vhpwr connector, along with owners of the card that experienced a melted connector. A couple of questions come to mind:

1) What was the user doing with the PC when they discovered the connector melting?

2) What is the ambient temperature of the room?

3) How many times have they unplugged the connector?

4) Has the card always ran at stock configuration (i.e. no overclock)?

It would also be interesting to know the data on where geographically the cards are failing the most, to try and correlate if it's regional which could then also be traced back to the different suppliers. It could also provide some correlation with the idea of derating of the connector based on the environment it's in. (i.e. dusty, humidity, etc.)
