    Graphic Cards Good connector design versus 12HPWR

    Thanks to the mods for re-opening the thread. All I have to say is "I told you so" Expect more reports over the next few months. I'm assuming due to low availability, there will be a small number of reports at first, hopefully nVidia will implement a hardware revision to fix the uneven power...

    Need help with Debian C states

    Efficiency is not just a chip/MOSFET issue, it's an overall design problem. Designing any switched supply requires balance between the cold and hot resistances. One decent starting point is this document...

    Need help with Debian C states

    3.) I am not sure about the Linux part of your question, but with a few percent error of the meter itself, the power levels seem correct for your hardware. Consider that Bronze PSU willl have 60% or less efficiency below about 30% load. Each HDD will draw about 6-8W when motors are active but...

    News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Is 2x Faster Than 4080 At $999, RTX 5070 Ti 2x Faster Than 4070 Ti At $769, RTX 5070 Faster Than 4090 For $549

    For a 2.2 lakh GPU, casual gaming sessions isn't a valid use case, is it really? The problem with fake frames is that marketing is trying to create equivalence between an interpolated frame and a rendered frame. This is simply not true. The reality is that any product of interpolation is fake...

    The lack of a hotspot sensor on the 50 series will ensure the first time you have a black screen, it will be because of an overheated card. nVidia said you won't have to worry about the 12VHPWR connector anymore, and they're spot-on. The core will go up in smoke earlier. I didn't sell my 4090...

    WTB RTX 40xx GPU

    Require a 4070 (not-70Ti, but S and TS are both welcome) or 4080 for LLM and Stable Diffusion. Warranty highly preferred, even if it is on the short side. One week testing warranty also needed. Budget is 35-55k depending on model, warranty and condition of card. Beggars can't be choosers, but...

    The thing to understand is how the frames are generated to begin with. Frame generation uses interpolation, which is a fancy way of saying "guessing". Interpolation in any form reduces quality of the rendered frame. A frame generated by the game engine is significantly different from the frame...

    12-pin connector for the FE cards seems to have blades instead of PCB pins this time around, should help with thermals on the connector. nVidia also seems to allow 8-pin PCIe for partners this time around instead of insisting on the dodgy little 12-pin. Still, only time will tell if the failure...

    USB4 and mandatory PCIe 5 was resulting in a lot of motherboards operating at effectively PCIE 3.0 x16 speeds on PCIE 4.0 cards. Certainly a right mess.

    1. This runs on bus power, so your phone cannot power it even though they should be technically compatible with each other. It has to be a PC or Mac (host). The analog inputs at the front are normally only presented to the host, and the physical outputs on the device carry only the audio back...
