I found this on the Extreme Overclocking (EOC) statistics page today: All Good Things...07.24.25, 5:33pm CDT It is with a heavy heart that I'm making this post. It's taken me all day to try and write this, I can't believe I'm getting so emotional. Back around March of 2000 I created EXTREME Overcloc...

... With Nvidia cards, it seems like adjusting the power limit is the way to go. How low it can go is dependant on the card family, the model itself and whether it won the silicon lottery or not. For example, my EVGA FT3 RTX 3090 can go as low as 55% with a loss of maybe 10% in PPD. Anything lower ...

IN my experience with 2 x 4070ti and a 4070 and 4060ti the 4070ti's are significantly more efficient than the either the 4060ti or 4070. I'm, seeing regularly ~75kPPD/W efficiency on the 4070tis and only 50-60kPPD/W from the 4060ti and 4070. So in my experience the 4070ti is at a sweeter point in te...

I have a couple of Zotac 4070ti (non AMP) and have had no issues with the included adapters. Most of the issues were with 4090s and the 4070tis use far less power. If your worried about the adapters 3rd parties such as Cablemod likely can provide a native cable for an EVGA PSU. I’ve been very impres...

Update. I opened an RMA with EVGA and linked this post to add to the description. It went smoothly. They authorized the RMA and I had to ship the GPU back to them at my expense which was about $100Cdn for UPS Ground with Signature and Insurance. It took about 6 days to get to California and the next...

Bob, Thanks for the suggestions. The GPU fails independently of any project. Sometimes it works on a specific WU, sometimes it errors but succeeds on the same WU, sometimes it fails. There is no rhyme or reason to the WUs it succeeds at, errors on or fails at. I did try to raise the clock speed to t...

That processor should be fine to keep a 2080ti fully utilized. As Kiore says though you will need to keep 1-2 threads free for the Operating System under Linux and 3 or more free under Windows. Some WUs seem to need more CPU than others so if you want to run CPU WUs on the processor then just set th...

Thanks for the suggestion Bob. I’ll try running it at a higher maximum clock this weekend and see if there’s any change.

Swapped the 3080s between two systems. After about a week I'm seeing: 75 WUs; 14 completing with a single Error; 14 completing with 2 or more Errors; 5 failing; 42 Completing without Error. Success Rate: 93.3%; Failure Rate: 6.7%; Error Rate: 44% The conclusion appears to be that as the Errors moved...

TLDR - I suspect I have a 3080 with faulty hardware and want to RMA it to EVGA but would like some advice on how to best communicate the issue to them. I purchased a few B-Stock RTX 3080s from EVGA when they had them on Fire-sale a few months ago. The last blast of decent 2-slot width Ampere GPUs. I...

Good news for the Linux community.

Now if AMD would put a little more effort in to improving compute performance on RDNA …

I’m a bit late to the party but as others have mentioned slot spacing is problematic these days with the prevalence of 2.75 and fatter cards. Asrock has the x570 Steel Legend and Pro4 models with 4-slot spacing but then the lower card can get choked by the power supply shroud in most tower ATX cases...

I think adding a line to the /etc/init.d/FAHClient script might work. But I still hope they could fix it. (Plus make it open source :) ) @@ -121,6 +121,7 @@ start() { fi pid=$! + echo $pid > $PID if wait_for_log_change "$LOG_STATUS" $pid; then echo "OK" else Thank-you - that doe...
