Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

I just got an MSI gaming x trio 4090, is it pointless to overclock these things? I see people say either crank up the voltage and power sliders and then overclock, or undervolt it and run slightly lower frequencies for hardly any performance loss. I'm not looking to undervolt, I'd just run stock if I felt like going that route. Right off the bat I tried to find the limit for an OC, increased the core in 15mhz steps and ran firestrike extreme until it crapped out. Passed at 3150 core (3045 average) and crashed at 3165. Memory I took up to +1400 then stopped, didn't see any artifacts but didn't want to push it too far.

In the end the score which started at 16504 (19437 graphic score) stock everything went up to 17286 (20663 graphic score). Should I just back off the max OC by maybe 60mhz core and 400 mem and assume I'll be stable there long term?

You mean Fire Strike Ultra right?

Shit, I meant Timespy Extreme, guess I just remember running Firestrike so many times so it rolled off my fingers but I don't bother with that one anymore like most I assume. I haven't forked over the dough for Port Royal so Timespy Extreme seems the way to go.

Here's what I eventually managed after putting a little overclock on the cpu which I usually just leave stock. I think my card is probably in the decent to good category, nothing to brag about in terms of overclocking but not too shabby.

Does 3DMark have a Benchmark for those with an AMD CPU? Don't get me wrong, my 3970X works great, but apparently the 3DMark program has problems getting a good score with it i think due to all the cores.

Uh, 3DMark works perfectly fine on my 5950X and scores are high...

That's a Threadripper issue, not an AMD issue. If you bought a TR hoping to do 3dmark top-scores, you picked the wrong CPU.

Depends on the TR.

But, truly, the chart is dominated by 13-900K(F)(S).

Ah. So first, TS:E (thought you were talking the base one), which takes most of the CPU out except for the CPU test (where the 64 cores really matter a LOT) - although if you go into details things are still biased towards the 13900. But to break down your result:

The 13900 has a higher graphics store - the TR blasts the CPU score out of the water for obvious reasons, and thus edges out the 13900K by a smidge.

If you run timespy non-extreme, this will be a much wider gap - the CPU test doesn't get as much benefit from the extra cores (it's too simple), and the TR generally can't keep the card fed (it's not built for that). :)
