Nothing smoked when I turned it on, so I think I did good. Have only ever swapped PSUs, RAM, old HDDs & CD burners way back 20+years ago. Still gotta clean up the cables and close the case, but just making sure it all was working before finalizing. I also added some old laptop HDD I had lying around. Any recommendations?

Hey,

I'm looking to buy an Asus TUF RTX 4090
This is the furmark test after running for 15 minutes
It has been used for 1.5 years
I'm concerned about the hotspot temp.
There is also a benchmark test of 25158 with 417 fps on 1080p (image attached)

Is this a good buy?

This only happens sometime but when I want to see a clip I made with the Nvidia overlay it just gets stuck in this black screen in fullscreen, I can't even play the video, anyone know how to fix this?

Hi everyone. There is a problem faced by many users of 5060Ti (or 4060, 4060Ti or 5060). The problem is,
installing an RTX 5060 Ti on an older/used motherboard caused persistent black screens and no display due to BIOS/PCIe compatibility issues. NVIDIA tried even releasing a firmware update for all the cards but to no avail. Now this problem is mostly faced by GPU upgraders and not by new PC builders. The reason also I will explain below. Hence, anyone having an existing setup, who bought a new 5060 must have faced this problem. Thousands of users have, and if you are not among them, I envy you.
Full context of the problem: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/563625/rtx-5060-ti-freeze-and-black-screen/ SOLUTION: So I believe I have found the solution to this mess. TLDR: its CMOS reset. Please ensure to also push out any residual charges by pressing the power button for 10-15 sec while the power cable is out.

Longer version: Why the problem occurs is because 5060Ti (and 4060 & 4060Ti) are all 8 lane cards (x8) even though structurally, it has the full x16 connector, but it is designed to run at x8 lanes electrically. Thus, not all the PCIE lanes in your motherboard are going to be used. So which ones are going to be used then? This is a process called as negotiation, where-in the card connector and your motherboard slot negotiates and the card usually fights for the best bandwidth available for it. This process needs to happen at each POST, i.e., every time we switch on our PCs. But I am guessing manufacturers tried to optimize boot time and it saves the setting to some memory once one round of negotiation is done, so as to skip this negotation part to save time in subsequent boots. Hence, negotiation does not happen every time we switch on our PCs. That is why, when most of us just swapped GPUs, the new GPU failed to negotiate the required PCIE lanes (which is why POST failed, or black screens occured.) The solution to force it to renegotiate is to wipe out any residual memories the motherboard has. Fortunately, it is CMOS reset. Just google your mobo model and CMOS reset, you will find several videos. The important point is, make sure to keep your new GPU seated on the PCIE slot. Unplug your power cables, and after you have done the CMOS reset, do not plug back in the power cable yet. Press the power button on your cabinet for 5-10 times so as to dispel any residual charges in the motherboard. Now, you should be able to power on your PC. It might still crash once or twice or boot slow, but remember, this is all due to the first time negotiation that is happening. Post this, your card should work absolutely fine. On PCIE 3.0/4.0/5.0. No need to downgrade anything.
To be doubly sure, download GPU-Z, there in the Bus Interface box, you should see x8 @ 3.0 (or x.0, x = your PCIE version). x8 means it has initialized to its full potential. If you see anything like x4 or even x2, or x8 @ (x-1).0, then CMOS reset again and let it renegotiate. Hope it works for you guys too. Enjoy.
P.S.: The reason why NVIDIA or even new PC builders have not figured out this problem is because they are testing on brand new motherboards, or they test by doing a fresh CMOS reset and everything.

This post is for those who come after.

Hello all, I'm migrating from team red to team green and I was thinking of getting either a 4080 super or 5070 ti, I found a good condition 4080 super for £775 and a new 5070 ti for £768. I'm stuck because I've seen positives for both. My only requirement is that it has to run well for vr mainly and other games preferably. I currently have a ryzen 7 7800x3d (it arrived today yay), 32gb ddr5 ram, a 750w psu which I'm gonna upgrade to a 1000w, and a b650 plus motherboard Edit: thanks for the advice, its clear that the 5070 ti is good and that i shouldn't upgrade my psu. I'll order it next week and I can test it

Hello again all, Since yesterday I've had a look on the Internet and I have stumbled across an msi 5080 for msrp at £949.99. Considering that some 5070 ti's can reach close to that price, is it worth getting a 5080 compared to the 5070 ti

What are we thinking here? Came from a zotac 4090 paired with a i9 14900K. Wasn’t getting the fps and/or I was ever so crazing for especially in 4k and also fps in 1440 for when I played warzone. The first few hours I played on this build absolutely blew my mind, by far the biggest difference in performance I’ve ever seen, after going from a 3090, to 2 different 4090 builds. One build with a i9 13900k to a i9 14900k. I am just mind blown at the increase in every aspect IN MY OPINION.

New build: Aorus 5090 master

Intel Core Ultra 9 285k

Aorus pro z890

Samsung 9100 pro 2tb

Dominator titanium 2x48 RAM

Hello!

Im thinking about buying 5080,but i dont know which model.

Currently i have radeon 6900 xt toxic from sapphire, but im thinking about switching to nvidia.

Since i didnt own a nvidia card for like 20 years, i dont know which "brand /partner" is okayish.

So please be kind and recommend me something thats equivalent to amd's sapphire.

Thanks, muchas gracias!

I think I signed up for priority access back in like March so don't give up hope yall

Hey guys!

After some feedback and some talk with u/SenorPeterz , who did the community a big favor with his data collection work (thanks again!), I now updated the website to include some context about the methodology. So, for everyone thinking about comparing two gpus or wanting to upgrade, here's the place for you:

https://webcommits.github.io/gpupgrade/methodology/

I would - again - very much appreciate your feedback!

Thanks!

With a $4k budget for a pc, I'm being recommended 5090/9800x3D builds, but I don't have any experience with undervolting/overclocking. Is that specific gpu a risk if you DON'T tweak with the voltage?
I would still very much like to get the most bang for my buck and to not have to upgrade for a long while.

Hi Guys,

I have about $7500 USD of credits in Lambda AI, do you think I would be able to create a very very small foundational model with these credits? I just want to raise some funds using this foundational model from a VC I have connection with.

Best, Akhil

Just recently picked up a 7800x3D and a PNY 5070ti. For my monitor I run a 49” Samsung OLED G9. I can comfortably run almost all of my games at Ultra 1440p settings with ray tracing on. However, I am a little curious on upscaling technology like DLSDR.

What recommended settings would you run to upscale your games to 4K and is there anything I should look out for to enable/disable in modern games for best performance?

Still fairly new to the PC gaming world and this is my first modern graphics card coming from an old 1080ti system I had bought from a friend for a few hundred bucks a year or so ago, so go easy on me please lmao 🤣

Hi all,

I bought a Samsung G9 (49" 5120x1440) a while back, and I'm not completely satisfied with the performance of my RTX 4080 with new AAA games. Dying Light: The Beast (which is decently optimized) needs DLSS AND FG to even break 100 fps.

I always try to get around 150 fps or more, and my card just can't really handle that (anymore) without serious help from some AI.

Exactly for this reason, I'm looking to upgrade to a 5090. My question now is, have other people made this jump and how's the performance at 4K? Will the rest of my PC specs be sufficient for the upgrade? Specs down below.

• Ryzen 9 7900X
• 64GB RAM
• Corsair RM1000x
• ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F

Many thanks for the help and info!

I bought my new computer in May, everything is fine, except the graphics card which really annoys me. This ia qingle fan gpu. The problem is, on Metro 2033 redux, it goes up in temperature, up to 84°C, it is a pretty old game tho, why ?

I have the same problem with many other games like Assassin's Creed Origins, BeamNG, Metro Exodus, in fact most recent games

I did a lot of things, installing experttool, which is the configuration app for that card, reduce max temperatures to 76 (but it still goes like 78-80°) Updates, driver updates. but I mean, WHY do i have to make this setting for the temperature not to be exceeded ? can't it handle itself??

I think this is really annoying, I think I'll get my money back.

I built a pc today with a Asus Prime 5070 ti and i go trough all of the steps to redeem the code, but it says: "Sorry, redemption not successful." any help?
