How should I go about applying new thermal paste on a blower card like this Quadro? The reapplied thermal paste made me think it was some sort of pad at first until I realized it covered the entire vapor chamber besides just the GPU die.

Not sure if I should wipe it all off or just apply some paste on the die and keep the rest since it doesn't seem petrified like the paste on the die.

The only people who bitched about it were YouTubers and reviewers, who get a new GPU every year, usually for free.
Basically nobody else could even get a 40-Series even if they wanted one, and so to them the 50-Series is an even better version of the 40-Seres that they wanted to buy, but they can actually buy it, and it's cheaper.

I'll be honest the 9070 XT and 9070 not doing well is probably expected when they were above msrp for most of their life cycle but the 9060 XT 16gb not being there surprise me, not only it was nearly msrp for nearly all of its life but it actually has an advantage over the 5060 consider it has 16x lanes which people with old rigs would value if they cant upgrade their mobos t a pci-express 4.0 one. but i guess it did not matter most sales at that range comes for pre-buildts

Not showing up on the steam hardware survey doesn't equal failure
Microcentre sold out most of the massive stock it had built up on launch day and online sold out instantly. Amazon best sellers was filled with 9070 XT models for months and a 9060 XT model is still at number three right now.

>>108040548
>Microcentre sold out most of the massive stock it had built up

Probably to scalpers which returned when they could not sell them on ebay

>Amazon best sellers was filled with 9070 XT models for months and a 9060 XT model is still at number three right now.

This one puzzles me, but i guess the explanation is that system integrators got them near msrp and they are trying to sell them at inflated prices because of the ram crisis.


So at the end of the day, RDNA4 was a failure but the ones holding these unwated gpus are scalpers, system integrators and probably local shops

It's because of all the Maxwell & Pascal waitfags™ that eventually had to upgrade to a new video card.
It wasn't that difficult to decide between an RX 9000 or RTX 50 card; you get Radeon for the mature Linux support, or if you don't care for the RTX-exclusive features.
All that chart proves Linux gamers are a loud minority, and many people would rather spend more for an RTX card if the cost difference is reasonable in their pov.

5080 and 5090 are obviously in a different category.
Radeon probably lost their appetite for this market after they had to sell most of their 7900 XT and 7900 XTX at a discount.

There are basically 0 games released with HDR visuals prioritized over SDR, that's why HDR gaming is mostly a shitshow.
Game studios can't even design OLED-friendly UIs to reduce the burn-in risk.
If you own a good LCD monitor, you're already having a good time @ SDR.

>>108041215
Yeah, Nvidia have historically had way better support for their OEMs and getting them into builder's hands. Maybe they had better discounts or supply chain, but somehow AMD has never managed to capture that market well.

Some GPU doesn't like this at all and take up to 10°c when placed upside down like. You can double check that by hunting reviews of Thermaltek The Tower 300 and 600. It's a specific GPU design flaw not an airflow issue. You already have the case so it's free for you to try: put the case upward, check your GPU temps and see if you're cursed ot not.

If it works for you make sure to do another test for the whole case where the top right fan is an exhaust. The bottom right fan fucks everything up for free but it's most likely a fashion statement so you do you.

idk about that but 16 cores are 16 cores. intel 13th gen isn't really much better in gaming with ddr4 than ryzen 5000 so there is not really a reason to buy a possibly defective cpu and mobo. they get sold used for a reason after all.

>>108041683
it could be, it depends on the firmware upgrade that they'll get for 48hz+ content, it promises to be able to deliver a high refresh experience at lower frame rates which would be really good for certain content like old film and budget gaming where at best you'll get 60 fps which would look like 120+ fps

because some people are already on the old platform and don't want to do a full upgrade, and they're no longer making zen 3 processors so as stock dries up prices trend up.

>However, this 5.7 GHz would crash the chip under certain AVX workloads. The work-around was to lower the clock speed to 5.5 GHz by applying a -200 MHz offset to the PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive).
>January 2023: AMD releases the AGESA 1.0.0.4 microcode update. It effectively drops the clock speed from 5.7 GHz to 5.5 GHz to fix the AVX instability - thus formalizing the workaround. While 5.7 GHz was still possible, it required operating conditions that were unrealistic and unlikely to be sustainable in any real-world workloads.
>So what happened is that AMD launched Zen4 at clock speeds that were too high for the silicon to handle. So they nerfed it down by 200 MHz. But to avoid false advertising, the door to 5.7 GHz is kept open through a narrow road of unrealistic thermal conditions that would guarantee stability.

I have a Tesla GPU that needs an 8 pin CPU power connector specifically, it CANNOT use PCIe. I'm using a 650 watt pic related PSU. I'm doing this in an optiplex 7050 which uses a proprietary mobo connector which I built an adapter for using 2 6pin PCIe to SATA adapters and soldering together the appropriate cables. (Remarkably, this works fine) The PSU does have a dedicated CPU power connector but I can't use it because it's only a 4 pin connector and I'm already using it to power the system CPU.

Is there a pre-made adapter for going from PCIe to 8pin CPU cables or do I need to make my own? It looks like the only (electrical) difference between the CPU and PCIe connectors is that the CPU one has 4 12V rails and 4 GND rails, while the PCIe has 6 of each and 2 sense pins.

In theory can I just source the appropriate 12V and GND rails from 2-3 of the 6 pin PCIe ports on the PSU and then splice them into an 8 pin CPU connector to feed the GPU?

Don't think so otherwise the GPU would have memory issues as well. So far it's only misbehaving when some movement happens near or on the table that my PC also sits on.

Is needing a 12-pin PSU cable for GPU a problem? I've seen shade thrown at 12-pin GPUs and I just want to know why

And kind of related, but my understanding is that using cables (or anything like adapters) that weren't included and manufacturer with/by your PSU) is a potential death sentence for a GPU (or any component really). Does a typical PSU include any and every cable you would need for any components, or do you run into situations where you might need to find a very specific replacement cable that wasn't included for a part

Can't help you much with PC cases; best to find reviews for the cases you've already picked out.
There are trade-offs between choosing a case with good sound dampening and one with good airflow.
You usually have to sacrifice one for the other.

>de pin the connector make a Y cable out of two pcie

When you say de-pin what do you mean? Like cut material away from an existing 8 pin connector until it fits? And yeah a Y cable is basically what I had in mind.

Pic related is more specifically what I am planning. I'll get an actual 8-pin CPU cable, cut off one end, do the same with a pair of 6-pin connectors, and then solder/splice them together according to pic related. The green vs blue lines are just to make it easier to follow what goes where. Of course I'll heat-shrink the joints so there's no possibility of creating a short.

Disabling your display engine, decoders, and hardware acceleration is not a fix that means your fucking GPU is not being used its all put on your CPU. Software Rendering is worse than Hardware Rendering.

As someone who is eventually going to build a linux box for everyday stuff and gaming, what actually is wrong with the nvidia linux drivers? And are the AMD drivers any better? All the AMD cards I have (most are rather old) are a huge pain in the ass to get to work. openCL especially is a total nightmare and that's something I really just need to work. Then again, I've also had issues with Nvidia cards, just not as bad. Also I seem to have these same issues on windows as well a lot of the time.

Hang on, do ALL GPU manufacturers have shitty drivers for ALL operating systems for ALL of their products since the very beginning...?

Freesync Premium just works on AMD. The GPU handshakes perfectly with the monitor.
Gsync + Freesync are both bricked on Nvidia. The GPU refuses to handshake correctly. The result is the anomalies you see all about VRR. Flickering, black screens, frame juddering as the HARDWARE display engine isn't keeping up like AMD.

There's a reason panels are dropping Gsync for Freesync and its not cost. Freesync works on consoles + amd pcs. Gsync is a useless flicker brick for most Nvidia owners they end up disabling today.
