I prefer Passmark's more well rounded approach to gauging GPU performance, but that's just personal preference. Time Spy is also a solid metric to use.

I like passmark 9(passmark10 s.cks)as overall test but their GPU test discrepancy is a bit weird here take a look of this sample/example:

I mean GTX 970 and even "old" GTX 780TI(3gb) heaving much better results vs RX 580&RX 480 and newer RX 5500XT....I mean c'mon I am sure that in almost 90%(except in only few Nvidia titles)of the games those AMD cards will easily win and I am talking here about DX11 titles in DX12 or Vulkan titles is not going to be even close RX 480/580/5500XT will demolish GTX 780 TI and GTX 970....and don't get me wrong I am not an AMD fan or something I was EX-owner of GTX 970 and I love that card.......

v1.05 hotfix removes that file. Hotfix changelog have this explanation.

I know but it more testing for me to see how it goes on my set up so far no crashing on the v1.04 with minor tweaks I did on changing a few hex values changes in cyberpunk2077.exe. Been playing it for a few hours per night. HDD performance based on texture loading in game is a tad slower but will transfer the entire game to SSD to see how well it respond later on. For the Xeon x5675 usage it never any higher than 45% on all cores, resolution 1600x900 is the sweet spot for the gtx 1050 to without frame dropping or stuttering while still 30fps locked.

I applied the v1.05 patch earlier today so far no hiccups performance on the ssd is about 40% better loading times than the hdd. So far the x5675 handling it like there's nothing to it. Core temps peaks between 43c to 47c gpu temp peaked at 51c but average 47c throughout the game. It a pretty good time along with the storyline and the jokes lol

I was a bit bored so I decided it's probably time to change the paste on my beloved (GPU)Matrox card....anyone remember Matrox?



I guess that paste was never changed before as it was hard as gum so I cleaned and saw that shiny Matrox logo....I love this little 2d card(Matrox P690) it's still very usable for me as my second GPU it's powering my 2 side Eizo monitors for every day use and the 2d picture&colors are clear&precise and card is cold and use only around 5w......and yeah it's cheap as I remember it cost me only around 5$......

Super Micro was using Matrox for their onboard video for a very long time (may still be).

It's possible they still do as Matrox is still alive as a company and doing GPU's but only 2d those cards are great for airports,surveillance...etc.the thing is that they do not make any more 3d cards as I remember last 3D card from Matrox was Parhelia back in 2002 and back then Matrox was very competitive against Nvidia&Ati.....

I worked on two of the matrox boxes that split the screen into four montiors and another four monitors. I can't remember the model or version it was but it had vga outputs it or dvi-i or -d. It was for an old guy that usedMicrosoft Flight Simulator X on the dell xps or 720 running from factory intel e6600, 4gb of ram with 2x nvidia 8800 gtx. He even have all the flight controls it was a mad looking set up. But it ended up having problems with the gpu causing blackscreen along with swollen caps on the motherboard. Sad thing was running windows vista, After replacing the gpu for another replacement and repaired the swollen caps and even treated the pc for the cpu upgrade to q6600 and ram upgrade to 6gb (board had a fit if the ram was 8gb installed. Had to twist the guy's arm that he needed windows 7 operating system to benefit better overall performance. Difficult thing was transfer everything on Microsoft Flight Simulator X like control config, drivers, dlc and list goes on from there. But once everything was done the old guy was over the moon since then I haven't heard back from him since but don't know if he still using it or not

Think this looks like the box can't be 100% certain as it was much older version or model as it has dvi to two vga cables per connection as the guy spend crazy money for the boxes something like €150 per box as he was running 8 monitors for Microsoft Flight Simulator X for monitoring everything in real time

Last I remembered the setup layout was like this

Ausgespaart: x5680 x2 // 12x4GB ECC // EVGA SR-2 // Zadak Spark 240mm x2 // GTX1070 // Raidmax RX-1000AE

Just a massive case.

Had a look online it have 83 amps on 12v rail that plenty of juice for the whole system. Funny thing is I never heard of that brand

The newer Raidmax stuff has a rep for exploding thanks to a video being posted about one going up in flames. It's not known for quality except for this unit. Very high reviewed and very stable.

Used. It's the PSU that ran the board before.

Anyone know if a X5675 OC to 4.2GHz will bottleneck a RTX 3060 Ti on a 34" Ultrawide monitor? GTX 1080 is giving me anywhere from 25-42 FPS on a mix of low-medium, but it's cutting into my immersion so I'm trying to see if it's even worth upgrading to an RTX 3060 Ti assuming I can find one for retail or close to it.

It will. I would upgrade your platform before going for a gpu bump.

Matrox card....anyone remember Matrox?

Oh yes! They rocked BITD!

Anyone know if a X5675 OC to 4.2GHz will bottleneck a RTX 3060 Ti

It will a bit, but not much. At 1080p, you'll be fine, at 1440p you'll start to have a few limitations. I have an RTX2080 on dual 1440p screens. A 3060ti is on a similar level of performance in most area's and mine gets a CPU bottleneck only in certain games, but only so much. You are getting to the limit of what that CPU can do for you in games, especially with CyberPunk2077. If that's the game you're aiming for, while your system will play it, you'll need to turn down some settings in game. For gaming it's time to start planning for a platform upgrade. If you're tight on money(and a lot of folks are these days), then a used socket 2011 or AM4 might work well for you. If you want some help picking out parts let us know and we'll try to help you sort out a system upgrade for yourself. BTW, welcome to TPU!

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah from poking around YT and other forums the bottleneck won't be much at 3440x1440p. And sorry forgot to mention the game I was getting a mix of 25-42 fps. lex was correct in assuming it was Cyberpunk 2077.

I will definitely aim to upgrade next year, but for the time being I gotta work with what I have. The GTX 1080 has definitely served me well over the years, but it may be time to part with it.

Sidebar question - Do you guys happen to know what Physics score I should be getting with my X5675 at 4.2GHz in 3dMark Firestrike?
