I'm curious to know which game test you're using when you do the temperature/fan noise charts. My 6950XT reference fans hit 1800-1950rpm with a steady 1150-1200mv during BL3, Time Spy, and Cold War. Your chart shows ~1031mv on this card you tested, so I'm just curious as to what the testing...

Updated bios to 4201 beta on my Dark Hero x570. They significantly dropped the stock all-core clock speeds in, what I think, is an effort to reduce temps, and likely stop throttling for users with lower end cooling solutions. All stock settings Cinebench score is 13800-13900 on the 4201 bios...

Playing around with PBO2 Tuner some more; with the -50 all core curve and using the same settings I use with a 5800x in another system for the power values: 105w PPT, 80A TDC, 110A EDC. Cinebench values drop ever so slightly to the 14900 mark, but also drop another 4-6c in temp. Not going to...

Was able to run a -50 to the curve with PBO2 tuner, which is stable for 12 hours in Core Cycler. Cinebench scores 15050-15200 and knocks 8-12c off temps. Since we don't currently have any access to Curve optimizer for 5800x3d in bios, the PBO2 tuner software works nicely, though -50 is the max...

More surface area to spread the heat to and direct die to cooler contact. Can't wait to see how undervolting benefits these 3090Ti cards in terms of heat and power consumption. I have a 3070Ti in one of the kids computers that runs 1930MHz @862mv, dropped the wattage down to the 215-230w area...

Absolutely; I akin the way this game makes me feel to how I felt in the early days of NES and SNES. Getting thrown into a game with no direction gives the player so much freedom, it gives you so much to do and explore, it makes you think instead of just "go here and do this" over and over as you...

Having around 50 hours in at this point on PC (6800XT, 5800X); the frame stutters can definitely be annoying, but are definitely not game breaking and rarely cause a death. My friends and I posited the same question about how it wasn't caught before release, but the fact is, it's not a game...

Around 2% higher average relative performance with around 10-15% less power than 5500xt. 5500xt looks like it would still be the better card when comparing direct retail pricing.

Yea, if you look at the 12900k bench; with e-cores disabled, the SQL stuff jumps hugely in performance. Same with wPrime.

You're literally not understanding the concept here. The efficiency is only from the CPU perspective of the test, on purpose, to show the efficiency of the CPU power usage during said testing... It's not that hard to comprehend, come on.

Stuff like this is why I like to see multiple measurement points for power consumption. Having multiple measurements gives a much broader audience the information they need to decide if they want whatever the product is.

Just now realized that the power consumption test said Cinebench; thanks for replying on that! I know it's not really feasible (time constraints) to do, but it would be interesting to see power consumption comparisons on other things like gaming and real world application use. I say this...

"Beats 5600x conclusively". Well, sure, in pure numbers with no other consideration; 14% overall performance increase in CPU tests with a multi-core increase of 50% power consumption (126w vs 189w). I'm sure each individual test varies, but it's not that impressive in relation to the power...

No OC on the 3060Ti; but the CPU was definitely the bottleneck there (I don't know much about XIV's engine, but it likely relies heavily on CPU given the drastic result change). I installed a 5800X in that same system with the 3070Ti and this is the result: Ryzen 5800x (instead of the 3600...
