You'll have to watch the command prompt after it completes an iteration to see if any core throws an error. When an iteration ends (which is after it tests each core once) it will have a line that says if any core has thrown an error. There's also a log file you can check that has everything displayed in the command prompt. The default time is fine. The goal of the program is to force the highest clocks on the PBO curve. The highest clocks only happen when the core is at lower temperatures and power consumption. A longer test will produce more heat which will force the core to clock lower. It is good to test higher temp and power consumption stability, but that's not the goal of this particular one. This is what you'll see if there's an error:

I think the default setting is that it will keep running the test on each core that doesn't fail. At the start/end of each cycle it will tell you which cores it's testing and which have thrown an error. You can change the behavior through its config file (which does have helpful comments to tell you what the settings do). Did it default to AVX? If so and you end up passing the AVX test, I would recommend testing using SSE. When I was tweaking PBO, SSE would throw more errors than AVX.

In 2017 I traveled one state over the day of the eclipse. Do not do this. About 40 miles from my intended destination traffic on the Interstate highway was backed up to a complete standstill. I managed to get off at the next exit and went to a different, smaller town instead. It's definitely an entirely different experience when you're in the total eclipse. This year I won't even have to travel. I live in the path, yay. Just have to hope for good weather that day.

You can use it while it runs, but if you're gaming or doing other high-CPU loads then let it run longer than 96 hrs.

Framerates above your max refresh rate only matter if you do competitive online games, and even then the benefit is just some milliseconds of lower input lag. G-Sync should turn off if your framerate does happen to exceed your max refresh rate. Setting a cap or forcing Vsync should keep this from happening. What works best can vary from game to game though. There's only a performance hit to having both Gsync and Vsync on at the same time if Vsync is also acting like a framerate cap. The difference between Vsync "On" and "fast" is how it's buffered. On should be typical triple buffering, and this will mean if the game isn't demanding enough you should get lower GPU usage and power consumption as it's rendering on an as needed basis with what the display can handle. Fast keeps the GPU working at full speed and will render as many frames as it can, and will then only send the latest frame to the display when the display is ready. Fast should give lower input lag at the expense of power consumption. I don't know what the 4090 can handle as an undervolt, but 80% power cap can be a huge performance hit. With a PBO of -30, you may notice instability when your system is idle or doing less demanding tasks. A weaker core will crash its threads as it boosts to up and down its frequency range. You also run the risk of corrupting your Windows installation since it always has lightly-threaded workers going in the background. This is a decent program to use to see if you are truly stable: GitHub - sp00n/corecycler: Stability test script for PBO & Curve Optimizer stability testing on AMD Ryzen processors GITHUB.COM Stability test script for PBO & Curve Optimizer stability testing on AMD Ryzen processors - sp00n/corecycler

Couldn't really make it out in the video. That being said, my last two Nvidia cards have had coil whine when run at maximum power and then got louder as framerates got higher. It's also much more noticeable the quieter you make your system. So the fact yours is quiet with minimal fans and the card is basically in open air with the perforation on the side panel makes the coil whine easier to hear than it would be another system. I have no idea which models of 4090s have good or bad coil whine, but I would expect a high end one from Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte to probably be quieter than the Founder's Edition.

Spectacular Spider-Man made a cameo in Across The Spider-Verse, even had a voice line, so I will get my hopes up that one day it will be revived and completed. The writing was just perfect, and it definitely featured the wittiest Spider-Man to date.

Yep, watched it in an empty theater and just went along with the fun, but I tried to re-watch it and couldn't get past the first act because the story has too many shortcuts. It's also in the running for one of the worst villains by making her a Ronan clone.

Having not watched this new video, it has to be a compilation of his past work because I've watched his previous lore videos and I don't see how he can add anything new. Also looks like the chapter titles are the same as some videos he made last year.

Most of the lore is told by reading the item descriptions for items (weapons, armor, etc) and the through the state of the world (condition of buildings, trees, etc). That's how these guys are able to make these videos. Character conversations and side quests do establish the context, but they can be hard to find and are sparse, and you can also miss a lot of conversations/quests if you progress the main game too much.

Breaking news: Sony will request that physical copies of Starfield will be available on PS5.

It has a neat trick that turns the kernels whole on the way out.

RTX HDR videos in latest drivers Nvidia’s RTX GPUs can now upgrade SDR content to HDR using AI - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM This is the latest in a line of AI features for RTX GPUs. A novel feature, but like the AI super resolution I'm probably not going to use it because the minor enhancement is not worth the extra 100+ watts power draw while watching a video. I also don't have a good HDR monitor.

Kids around here love Demon Slayer.

It's been a few years since I've had to dive into a project, but the current search results for DIY repairs is awful. I wanted to find out some information on home furnace repair because mine probably broke today, and the entire first page of search results were auto-generated generic websites, which also had just straight false information and incorrect jargon. Then I searched for another topic (animal control services) and the top results were for nation-wide garbage instead of local businesses.

I do not notice this issue, but I don't use Adblock. I use Ublock Origin and Adguard. Add the following code to the My Filters section of uBo and you can block Youtube ads and not get the "video player will be blocked" message from Youtube. youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Definitely not worth it for DDR5. There will surely be improved memory chips by then, either faster speeds or higher capacity, which will counteract any price increase. NAND for SSDs and other flash storage will probably see a bigger impact to pricing from the upcoming planned supply reduction.

I'm sure it does because it either has a 30 fps or 60 fps cap. I just don't want to play below 60 fps because I have a 240 Hz monitor So what I had to do is install the FSR3 frame gen mod and then cap my framerate to alleviate the stuttering. As a bonus I also installed a mod that makes the game look better without decreasing performance. But I still have to turn off ray tracing. The performance issues are entirely CPU-related, which consoles can work around with the right development. However on PC, it's harder to bypass a CPU limitation by just changing graphics settings. If I was on the latest generation of new CPUs I could brute force the game to be good enough, though.

Subjectively, not much of a change in RT-off performance. Stutters are still there where they normally were. RT-on performance was still really bad. Of course, this game is an oddity that loves to just randomly perform like crap even when nothing was going on in the game nor in the background of my PC.

After I beat the game and the holiday rush, they release a patch. PATCH NOTES WWW.EA.COM Check out the latest updates to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. I *guess* I'll boot up the game (obviously after uninstalling the mods that made it playable in case they're broken) and see if performance is any better.

Wow, they totally missed out on calling it The Mandalorian & Baby Yoda.

1440p 360Hz pulsar would be a great eSports/do-it-all monitor. Also I don't think OLEDs require half of what Pulsar does (dynamically tweaking the overdrive function). OLEDs just need to increase their native brightness to counteract the dimming from Black Frame Insertions.

It just feels too calculated this generation, especially considering they were going to call the 4070 Ti a 4080 and charge $900 for it. But then we all raised hell and they changed the name and lowered the price before release. Jokes on us, since they basically did it with all of the cards.

AMD's 6000 refresh was very pointless, also their cards don't respond as well to overclocking which leads me to believe they would have had a much tougher time delivering their refreshed cards at their actual launch. Nvidia cards were power limited last gen, but if you got a card with a good PCB and massive cooling you can squeeze a lot out of it. The 3090 Ti is the de facto example. All the 3090 benchmarks you see will have the card running at 350W (same as the 3080) or maybe up to 380W, then they beefed up the 3090 Ti layout and gave it a standard of TDP 450W with an upto of 600W in the benchmarks.

They're a bit less egregious because their +50 cards are barely any better than the original cards. Nvidia usually offers a bigger uplift with Super and Ti cards. But this generation Nvidia was definitely trying to make up for their "mistake" of making the 3080 almost as fast as the 3090 for half the price at launch.
