i'm more interested if running cuda applications will it be false flag and halved the speed

VRAM throttling should be at 110C unless dell programmed it to 100C. stock 3080 should mine slightly above 80mh/s, with OC around 95mh/s. My 3090 i settle it at 95-106mh/s depending on my room temp, I don't want to open my card to deal with the VRAM, could OC and mine at 120mh/s if have AC haha.

From what I read eth mining seems to make the VRAM consume more power than normal.

you're right, 108C haha, definitely VRAM thermal throttling

My 3090 has like 1mm thick metal blackplate with heatpipes carrying heat from the VRAM modules, it is too hot to the touch. I put a 120mm fan to cool it but I haven't put thermal pads and small heatsinks on it yet, so I just underclock the memory. current room temp 35C haha

yeah room temp matters, today my room temp reached 37C hole shiet, i went out to work on my garden and it was cooler under the sun...

curious on your cpu power consumption and gpu power consumption while gaming, both oced?

yeah really weird, i never had microstutter issues on my rtx3090, rtx3070 and gtx1070ti after i changed my CPU to 8700k

I'm using 466.27, interesting because we use the same monitor. I play while mining too lol

what issues in 466.27?

oh no wonder, because i never let my PC sleeps
i constantly let it mine and render some 3d stuffs

In gaming wise, slightly more efficient because 12nm moved to 8nm, 220watt rtx3070 vs 250watt 2080ti.

But the biggest change is the fact that ampere is whole different arch focused on productivity vs gaming. It absolutely destroys Turing in for example 3d rendering, RTX3070 is faster than 2080ti for these things. RTX3090 is just a monster for 3d rendering, and the 24GB VRAM, fuh you can just cram in many 8K textures without much worry

RM3360? Can only buy non price markup RTX3060 now (RM2999-3199) with bundle required lel

RTX performance hit is worth it in reality, because it's way more realistic than rasterization based lighting. Of course there are performance penalty, just like before ray tracing in games era, we used to complain ultra quality shadow incur too much fps loss vs high or medium quality
The reason RTX is not as beautiful as you would expect from like those 3d animations in the movie is because it is hybrid ray trace and rasterization rendering atm. I only know two full path trace games which is minecraft and quake RTX, night and day difference. And DLSS is the magic pill that moved us forward because in the future we will go into full path traced games, and resolution increase with ray tracing is way more pronounced FPS loss. It's so intelligent to offload the processing to the tensor cores. Plus Nvidia never wasted the tensor and RT + GPU core design, as it is very important in productivity software too.

Also the reason i never buy AMD atm because their support for productivity apps and OpenCL sucks, can't even run blender cycles rendering properly without buying third party plugin. And that's just to catch up with CUDA, while Nvidia already moved on from CUDA to Optix in 3d rendering softwares, utilizing the RT cores and the performance uplift vs CUDA is very significant. the RTX3090 is a monster in 3d rendering.

DLSS is amazing, AMD should've gone with directML. AMD itself actually capable of putting RT and tensor cores in the future but they jumped the gun now and commited to the inferior FSR. Well at least with FSR, it is better than resolution scaling in current games lol


If AMD had supported productivity apps well and as good as CUDA, I would have bought 6800XT or 6900XT lol, I saw offer of 6900XT for around RM6.5k when I sold my RTX3070 for around rm5k last time.

Lastly, AMD actually sucked with linux drivers, 6800XT doesn't work in linux on launch day, 5700XT have serious issues on linux for months after launch.

not enough engineers to polish, their teams are way smaller than intel & nvidia

dlss2.0 retains alot of the sharpness and details if you chose quality mode, very native like

AMD FSR made it blurrier, even the higher quality mode you attached in your post

DLSS 2.0 = super minimal visual downgrade vs native, sometimes clearer than native in certain areas

FSR = some visual downgrade vs native

that price can almost get rtx3090 already with marked up

Isn't rtx3080 vulcan already have good heatsinks? If just gaming not much VRAM heating issues. I game on my 3090 and VRAM temp is 90+C when room temp is like 33C

VRAM heating problem only when i run mining lol

sadly that's the price of most 3060 in shops, and still requires bundle

msrp is not like before

lol exactly why I grab myself a 3090, plus it's the suprim version which I liked. Covid really made me chose to enjoy my life in lockdown haha, I don't want later died suddenly I can't even enjoy my own money (my assets already in early 7 digits...)

the markup i sold my 3070, fits exactly for the markup i paid for my 3090, i liked that even if gpu price crashed, it still at least worth the msrp to fall into

quadros are for those who use very specific feature sets, like those in 3D CAD softwares etc, workstations which requires aftermarket professional app support where uptime is important, and also some quadro specific sync not found in geforce, even bigger VRAM iinm 48GB.

3090 also already have built in memory error correction

3090 really needed 3 pcie to show it's power. lesser parts in 3080ti just means it can boost more with the same total power budget. 1700mhz 3090 already can use 300watts, undervolt only helps a little.

probably a strategy by nvidia to cement firm hold on professional applications where AMD don't really care to compete.

got review out already for 3080ti cuda performance test? Wonder if the hash rate limiter will activate on apps that uses cuda and limits it. Most ethereum miners run on cuda.
