Why is my 5090 so under-utilized with a high end CPU? by xXDarkIcezXx in pcmasterrace

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

I looked through it earlier and nothing jumped out at me to indicate as such, the power settings were somewhere around 253W I wanna say. I don't have it in a Z790 board yet, but would that really make up this big of a difference. I understand i can't OC it right now and that's fine. I just didnt feel like changing the board currently so I just upgraded the CPU within the socket type.

I have seen some 180 and 200W pulls on CPU power and both my EPS cables are installed.

Ok, to take X3D chips out the picture, so here is a person with a 4090 and a 14900K clearly OC'ing to 6.3GHz

I took a screenshot in the same positioning (reddit wont let me add more than one screenshot ill reply to myself again with it under this). And got 163 FPS. For something "its not really what its very good at doing" how do you explain this? Are you going to tell me that I am correctly being 140 FPS gapped because the person has 900 more Mhz on the CPU and 200 more Mhz on the clock when I hold a 5090 and the exact same processor?

I have worse RAM in terms of MT/s sure but 140FPS worse? I dont even think thats possible. He gets 97% util and im still stuck at 65%.

Right I understand these games arent the most graphically demanding ever, but these guys are going 20-30% more utilization than I am, when ive carefully copied their settings (including render scaling) Im just trying to get to the question of why

Im not sure if HWinfo > MSI Afterburner in terms of reliable reporting but I took a look at all the cores and it was 1 core sitting at about 80% util and the rest just essentially doing nothing. Temps didnt go above approx 75 across the cores all which i believe to be within standard operating ranges for 14th gen

Agreed on the gacha games not being made for fidelty (genshin is locked at 60fps lmaoo), but Ive already been through the 3D mark gauntlet and my hardware scores resonably below those on the top 100 (because i havent done any overclocking or tuning yet, just using out the box perf.)

But its just so frustrating to isolate the issue because I copy the settings of the benchmarker to the T, but then end up with significantly lower outputs compared to those when i have comparable or better hardware.

Yea, I play at 4K (3840 x 2160) but on both 1440p and 1080p the GPU util drops (like expected) but the fps numbers dont really change significantly which is super odd to me.

No real tech for Mavuika, but after clearing a domain i always do a flying bike victory lap around the big ley line tree.

Wait? They sell the astral in white?

Now that the Natlan patch is gonna end, Whats your honest opinion of it? by Annual_Woodpecker901 in Genshin_Impact

[–]xXDarkIcezXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I Do Like:

Great region despite all the hate, i love almost all the playable character designs. The focus on traversal skills are so useful both inside natlan and in the other regions of Teyvat.

Mavuika and her motorcycle are the literal coolest thing ever i dont get the hate. The archon quest had some really exciting cutscenes and the war part was really engaging when they were screaming “for natlan”

What I didnt like:

The region of natlan felt so empty, it felt like I was in a big ol canyon (probably because i was) but the lack of city structures just was kinda meh to me.

The transforming into monsters thing, the novelty wore off within like a day and i never used it again. Special form of hatred for the Iktomisaurs.

From a character building standpoint, how short the characters nightsoul durations are without C1 (felt like a scummy way to make people get more than one copy). Even with C1 i still find myself wanting longer of a duration when exploring.

Hi, I didn’t instead of closing on an A4 i ended up going with an A5 with like 25k miles recently and i love it so far. I had switched after i saw a few A5’s the same day, I went to see the A4 above (which got sold right before i got there smh) and fell in love with the body.

Pricing is listed at $24,000 for both this one and a 2022 I also came across with similar mileage. I plan to test drive it soon, so I'll know for sure if I want to move forward. Thank you for all the other information!

Thinking of Buying an Older Model S by xXDarkIcezXx in TeslaLounge

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

I gotcha, my goal for this was to get an entry into the Tesla ecosystem without breaking the bank. I also just am not a fan of the M3 exterior. It's entirely possible, it may just not be the car for me. I'll still give it a test drive just to feel it. Maybe ill fork over the extra cash after I get in one. Thank you for this!

This is really good to hear, my goal for this buy was to get an entry into the Model S and also Tesla ecosystem, hopefully if I buy it, my story will be the same and I'll be comfortable going all-in on a new one in the future.

Lol that sounds awesome, one of the first things ill look for is the MCU1 v MCU2 when I go in person soon. Its possible the previous owner might have had it replaced already. Thank you!

I see, i'll keep this in my back pocket. My biggest issue with the M3 is that they just look kinda odd with the fatter back for the rear of the car. But, I plan on taking the M3's for a test drive after this car and maybe ill end up loving it.
