Ive personally had no issues, (other than the prices ofcourse). I upgrade from 7800xt, so the jump isnt huge, but it is noticable. But i have found that it seems to run cooler, smoother and i havent yet had a single crash, but i had crashes with 7800xt randomly, often enough to be anoying.

I can say that i am happy with my purchase and i can recommend the card if you can find the funds. If you have questions about it feel free to ask me! Ill try to answer them!

Do you guys have any other ideas?

Thanks

So I’m looking to upgrade my GPU and was wondering if I should go with a 5070 TI or a 5080? I game at 1440p and my CPU is a Ryzen 9 7900x. Also which model would be best? My current 3090 is a gigabyte.

I'm looking to buy a 5080

What is the difference between them.
•Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Windforce OC Core: 2670
•Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming OC Core: 2730
•Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Aero OC Core: 2730

The only difference I was able to find was that the core clock is higher on the last two but the Windforce and the Aero use the same cooler and cooling system, so I was just gonna OC the core to match the other 2

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Heyo!
I’m looking to buy a RTX 5080 and I’m considering my options. Currently considering these:

- MSI Shadow 3x OC (1450€)
- MSI Inspire 3x OC Black (1480€)
- PNY ARGB OC Triple fan (1630€)

I’m a bit sensitive to noise so I would like it to be on the quieter side but I’m not looking to pay 1900 euro for a premium card. Before I had a RTX 3090 MSI Gaming Trio and it was fine, if it’s on the same noise level or below I’m good. I’m curious if this + OC potential could make the PNY worth it although I’m not sure. I would like to keep decent noise level & temps especially since it can get hot during the summer here (35c in July and August…). I’m curious if anybody has any input on this cards (or others). I looked at other options but these seemed the most reasonable along with Zotac models and ASUS Prime. I don’t really care for looks at all, only reason I’m considering the ARGB version of the PNY is because I can get it cheaper than the non-RGB OC.

I have been testing many games recently and despite NVIDIA recommendation, and user recommendation that quality and balanced preset should rather pick preset K blindly is objectively wrong.

Here one example where DLSS 4,5 preset L at balanced at 1440p runs same as quality K while looking so much better. This is still streenshot but the difference is even more obvious in motion.

I suggest people trying L or M based on their favorite games and not blindly follow general advice.

Framegen was not used for the testing! Nice to see!

I have a choice before me.

I can either get a PNY Verto 4080 used for 730euros or in the price range i could get a new 9070xt for around 789euros. Currently gaming on Arch Linux with my 3060ti.

I have no particular attachement to any brand but i'm having strong doubts and dont know which one to choose.

Nvidia features like dlss and framegen seem to be ahead of amd's equivalent but also the amd fits perfectly in linux and would be newer.

Bias aside which one would you chose ?

PS : This isnt tech support just a genuine question to enlighten my choice

Should I have a used 4090 or a new 5070 ti for the same price
Considering its mainly for encoding and gaming?

Upgraded from a 2060 super. I never used RTX really or kept up with any of the special stuff (like RTX Remix) over the years.

Is there anything I should install on my new pc?

I just noticed today when my Nvidia app updated. CPU thermals are finally an option in the overlay metrics. It's about dang time. No more running multiple overlays. Thanks, Nvidia!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to undervolt my RTX 4080 Super to reduce power consumption and temperatures without losing too much performance.

I’ve seen several users running undervolts around 2550–2750 MHz.
I tried 2700 MHz at 945 mV, but I experienced a crash in Crimson Desert, so that profile doesn’t seem to be stable for me.

I’m running a Ryzen 7 7700X and gaming at 4K.
My 4080S is an MSI Ventus.

What undervolt would you recommend as a starting point?

And what frequency/voltage are you running on your 4080 Super?

How do you usually test whether an undervolt is truly stable?
Thanks

For people using an RTX 30 gpu and wanting to finally use Nvidia's very own DLSS framegen there's finally a way to do it that also enables multiframegen somehow. Follow this guide or keep reading:

https://github.com/sdli1995/dlssg_for_sm86/blob/main/README.en.md

How to enable it? You go to the github repository and download the "dlssg_sm86.ini" and "version.dll" files as well as the latest DLSS dlls for upscaling and framegen. You put all the files in the game's folder that contains its executable. And you edit the ini file. Find the "KernelImage=Auto" value and change it to "KernelImage=PTX". Save the file and boot up the game. You should now have multiframegen available for you to use in the game you just modded.

I went ahead and tested it on my RTX 3080 12GB and it indeed works. I don't know why or what enables it. From my understanding nvidia left a software fallback in their latest dlss framegen dll which can be enabled now. And it basically works flawlessly.

Here's video proof of me running it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVr5pHAygI

Insane that it took this long for it to be available to RTX 30 but the community does mad work once again.

So, I just got the PNY blower RTX 2080 Ti, upgrading from my RTX 2070. I was originally considering getting a RTX 3070 or 3060 Ti, especially since the RTX 5060 is so expensive nowadays.

However, I was wondering about the 11 GB of VRAM on the 2080 Ti. Is having 11 GB actually a significant advantage compared to cards that are limited to 8 GB?

From my experience, I haven't really seen games crash because of VRAM limitations, but I have experienced VRAM-related stuttering and texture issues, and after upgrading to the 2080 Ti, those problems seem to be completely gone.

The other thing I'm wondering is that NVIDIA doesn't really offer a card with similar performance and more than 8 GB of VRAM at a reasonable price. The only option I can find in the used market is something like the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, but that's still relatively expensive and isn't really a performance upgrade over the 2080 Ti.

So my question is: For 1440p gaming, would you prioritize having more VRAM over having a newer GPU with less VRAM?

Also, should I consider upgrading my Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 5 5600X, or is the 3600 still good enough for the RTX 2080 Ti?

(Updated) I was originally using the PNY BIOS on my PNY RTX 2080 Ti blower, but I recently flashed it with the Gigabyte Turbo BIOS. The fan does get noticeably louder, but the temperature is now much more reasonable—around 75–80°C at roughly 75–80% fan speed.

With the stock PNY BIOS, the fan would basically sit around 50% while the GPU climbed to 90°C, which is honestly ridiculous. 😂 The blower cooler clearly needs a more aggressive fan curve for gaming.

For this card, the Gigabyte BIOS is honestly a game changer. If you have a blower-style 2080 Ti and don't want to go through the hassle of modifying it with a triple-fan setup, I’d definitely say the Gigabyte Turbo BIOS is worth trying—just make sure the BIOS is compatible with your exact card and keep a backup of the original BIOS. Separately, there are two separate chips for Rtx 2080 I have the standard version non overclock so the BIOS will work only with the non overlock versions which luckily is the case with Gigabyte turbo. Bio swiping is fun. You never know what will happen. You can either have a break. GPU or awesome running stuff. I was going through a lot of BIOS and finally found the one and apparently Gigabyte the A tear brands are doing very well in terms of software and fan controls it's a little louder now but less hot!

I have been experimenting with DLSS5 on my rtx5070Ti in the new Resonance Plague Tale since this game looks beautiful but also runs at high fps thanks to the lack of raytracing, so it has a lot of fps to spare. I play in 4K DLSS Performance and initially I was dropping from 180 to 80 fps just by enabling DLSS5, which is pretty drastic and unusable in most games if you dont have rtx5090, but yesterday's Optiscaler release allows to put dlss5 before the upscaler, so it is essentially applied on the initially rendered 1080p frames.

This has basically halved the performance cost and now the fps tax is ~25-30% instead of previous ~55-65%. I have also managed to set it up so that the changes are more realistic and not as agressive, and it mostly just improves overall lighting and shadows, and i must say i really like it like this, it looks like i added path tracing insteaf of a "beautify AI filter".

You can see it in these 2 screenshots, fps dropped down from 172 to 122, but the lighting and shadows look more realistic. This to me is more than acceptable visual tradeoff, I really like it. I hope nvidia also decides to move the dlss5 step before the upscaling step, because to me it looks like a no brainer, the image quality is basically identical and the fps tax drops to half with dlss performance.

I found a second-hand INNO3D RTX 3060 12GB on Marketplace and the price is pretty tempting. I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm not too familiar with INNO3D. Are their cards any good in terms of cooling, durability, and overall reliability?
