I don't believe so, no. Its either manual OC or PBO on my board. However, I can OC each core individually if I wanted too, but I am just doing a blanket all core because there is still only one voltage setting that I can find without using PBO and curve offsets. Honestly, I have another...

As a folowup... Turned SMT off on my 5950X, which allowed me to set a new personal record with my 4090. Basically, if you have a Ryzen 5000 series, go with all core OC, CPPC off, and turn SMT off. These CPU fly that way over PBO and SMT On it seems. All my games so far too show marked...

I'm just going to solve the debate for myself now and turn SMT off and run a bunch of tests knowing how it already tests with SMT on... lol. Difference is, I changed to all core OC a while back which made a HUGE difference in microstutter, so we will see what this does. Being a 16 core...

I'm fond of my AE-7 and have used Soundblaster since SB16 ISA in my DOS days. A dedicated sound card (or external DAC) blows motherboard sound out of the water every time.

I'm curious (and tempted to try) how this interacts when you have an all core OC. I don't need 32 threads for gaming on my 5950x, but turing SMT off would not speed up any cores and windows scheduling has plenty of core to choose from with SMT on. I've always read that leaving SMT on is...

How so? Its a TV pretending to be a monitor. So unless you want to sit far away, dot pitch also is trash. Sure, response time on OLED is better, but thats only one piece of the puzzle. Its also only 120hz (afaik). One could maybe make an argument on blooming, but its not bad at all on my...

I only play COD with friends anymore... much more enjoyable experience that way... lol.

Sure, if you enjoy OLED burn-in and a wall mount solution.... no thanks... lol.

I really enjoyed Hearts of Stone too!!! Both expansions were fun, with Blood and Wine obviously much larger! I don't want to give away spoilers for anyone yet to play, but the progression of Ciri was a hook as well in the base game.

I enjoyed the game pretty much the entire time, but it picks up a lot when you get to the islands and really hooks you then.

I unplug mine and remove the card when I clean it out with the compressor, but even so, the card will have long outlived its usefulness before I reach the 20+ limit of the connector.

Jumping back into Star Wars Jedi Survivor... game has its performance issues, but its enjoyable and I want to play through it. Last few patches have helped some. Wish it had DLSS 3.0 and FG..but it is what it is, very playable at 4K on a 4090.

Nope, never heard it on mine, I'd exchange for sure. My story is somewhere in here, but Asus QC is garbage. It took me till my 3rd monitor to get a good working one. Mine has absolutely no noise, I can barely even hear the fan if the room is dead silent.

lol... I actually love their cards and have no issues with them, beyond price. But it is what it is, and I love the hobby and can afford to buy them, so whatevers... I've wasted more on less. :ROFLMAO: Yup, that's the market today. The P/E on nvidia is nuts... I don't understand how TSLA...

Kind of sad I didn't dump more of my money in beyond what I did... but I am up over 400% since I bought shares during the Covid dip... and the stock split since then too... so I am happy. Nvidia can continue to keep buying me flagship cards every release... lol
