Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

WTF are you talking about? At no point did I saw there some some API call that will kill GPUs. I specifically talked about load characteristics. The software that is running is what dictates load characteristics. In the case of a game, there are tens of thousands of API calls made every second...

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

But there are key differences. 1: A CPU does not have any power circuits on it. The motherboard handles all the power delivery. If this issue happened for a CPU, the CPU would not be impacted at all. It would be the motherboard that failed. Which HAS happened. But the blame is always on the...

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

I have worked on Windows drivers before. So I am aware of how user space software interacts with the hardware. And its worth noting with DX12 and Vulcan, games are much closer to the metal than they were with older APIs. The issue with New World was the game itself being poorly coded which...

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

Please note, I am not defending nVidia. But having worked in the development of software, and hardware, The hardware manufacturer cannot protect a card from every single possible piece of software out there. They can test for a whole lot of different situations, but they can't test software...

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

And what happens if you turn on vsync? Right, but running without a frame cap isn't "normal" conditions.

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

While I believe that's likely the case here, there is nuance to it. 100% utilization with static load is one thing. 100% utilization with sudden changes in load is another. In the case of New World, the sudden changes in load caused massive current spikes. The utilization stayed 100%, but the...

Question Diablo4 causing gpu's to die

Sounds like more people that think frame caps are a joke, and they should be able to run any game they want at unlocked frame rates. Because as we all know, in this PvE game, higher FPS means you kill demons way faster. I just do not understand people that think its fine to run the GPU at 100%...

Question Evga Geforce 1660 Super Noticed Only Secured with One Screw Is that a Problem?

Two screws is more secure, but if its just sitting on your desk, one screw is fine for that GPU, which is relatively company to higher end GPUs. If we were talking about a 3090 or something, having all these screws in is pretty important due to the weight of the card. A 1660 being a low end...

Question Matrix Awakens City Sample is now available for download on PC

Nobody cares about how many hundreds or in some cases thousands of FPS the game gets.

Question Matrix Awakens City Sample is now available for download on PC

Bit of a necro thread here. But with there being UE5 games out, I don't see anybody using this tech demo to benchmark stuff.

Question Is there any data on RTX 4090 coil whine

Its certainly not a cure all. But it can address it if it is being caused by dirty power.

Question Is there any data on RTX 4090 coil whine

It means running the power through something that will filter out noise and set a constant voltage with a clean syne wave. Some areas have pretty dirty power, and can cause all sorts of unwanted oscillations in things like power supplies and audio equipment. You can also get noise on the line...

Question What kind of hardware would I need for 3 monitors?

I have not seen a motherboard with 3 video output ports though. And it certainly would not play any games.

Question HWUB revisits the RX 5700 XT in 2022 (versus the 2060 Super and RTX 3060) in newer games.

Yeah, I agree that 12GB should be the minimum right now, unless gaming at 1080P, or maybe only playing not-current games. Then getting a used 8GB card is enough for now.

Question Has the consumer gaming GPU technology timeline lost it's way? Where are the AFFORDABLE 16GB VRAM cards to choose from?

In my head, 20 years ago was 2000, obviously not the case as its 2023. In 2003 (actually 20 years ago), I got a Radeon 9800 Pro, and it was $399. Back in 2000, I got the original Radeon. Which is what I was going off in my head, and I think it was $189? Clearly I should have looked at the...
