Primarily you enable it in the BIOS. The working theory up until (just) now is that the Nvidia Drivers would follow the BIOS setting - and it turns out that this is seemingly not the case. I expect some kind of statement from Nvidia explaining what's going on, and a new driver revision to fix...

To add, on my 12700K + 3080 12GB machine, the three Resizable BAR settings were indeed off in Nvidia Inspector while all other indicators had them on. Can't say that it's made a noticeable performance difference (or not) though as I don't race benchmarks on this aging system :)

If two boards of same platform and configuration have more than a margin of error difference... something is wrong with one of them.

I don't think low power states are really latency sensitive?

Do we know if these cores are a different architecture than the E-cores? My understanding (which may be obsolete) was that they were E-cores, just on the chipset instead of on the CPU. Much lower power but no different from an execution standpoint. Otherwise, I thought we got the E-core /...

I'm interested in seeing where this is supposed to be going / actually goes relative to Nexus Mods

I know - there was a tiny bit of insincerity in my mind when I typed that out :ROFLMAO:

They go into some of that in the video, and this is just basic optimization stuff these days, right? This was done on a console with an aging AMD APU... which means that if ported to PC, it'll run well on just about anything.

We still can't run Cyberpunk fully cranked at 4K120, right? I expect that TW4 will be slimmed to just barely hit their target on consoles - and that there'll be plenty of knobs to crank the insanity (and framerate and resolution and detail) on PC

Yeah, I think it's a little dangerous setting such a high bar ("within our 60FPS budget!") given just how rough CDPR console releases have been performance-wise. On the other hand, it's also a bit promising, isn't it?

Looks good, plays well with very high settings; only turned down terrain textures a notch to fit into 12GB at 3840x1600 (per the in-game VRAM meter). 'Course can't turn down the boobs or butts, or ensuing closeups in the FMVs, which will keep it off the living room TV when the spouse in home 😅

X3D is all about frametime consistency - making the 'gains' you have smooth, etc. IMO it's worth it on any dedicated gaming build, absent something stupendously CPU light.

One has 32MB of L3 cache, one has 96MB... I agree that the pricing is a bit off, but it isn't unwarranted for your usecase IMO.

If that's how you're equipping it and how you plan to run it then there's no better CPU for the socket - by far

It would make sense if you have a GPU worth pushing and are actually going to game on it. Otherwise, probably not worth the squeeze for general desktop use?

GN also did a video that confirms ~400W:

It says 'Total Board Power' on the bottom, am I confused?

I'm seeing the "120W to 200W" figure, and thinking that's rather absurdly on the low side for two GPUs? I'd expect closer to the 500W to 600W range...

I'm seeing a US$40 discount on Corsair's site, lowest price I'm seeing is US$100 at Amazon?

Saw a single 5080 on Newegg for US$1399... still too rich for my blood, but hey, I made it to checkout! (lots and lots and lots of 5070 Ti cards in stock too)
