Looking around, WDL promo codes for sale have seemingly dried up and the best deal I can find is $30 (meanwhile, CoD promo codes are going for like $15-20) - is it worth $30 or should I wait for the inevitable spring sales in 2-3 months? If you like COD then I’d keep it! I got it on ps5 for Christmas and it’s a fun one this year imo. Just bit dumb over the top action that’s fun to play with some great looking set pieces and the rtx shadows are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set my BIOS back to all default settings, booted up Windows, played some Overwatch and noticed some mouse lag plus the FPS was dropping to 200. Restarted and my RAM was set at 2400 MHz, so I put it to 3200 MHz. Play overwatch and doesn't drop below 240 FPS. when i got my build up and running my memory was at like 2133 instead of 3600. i enabled DOCP but then it wouldn't post and gave me the DRAM led or whatever its called on the motherboard. I had flashed the bios to the latest after that happened and it was able to post but i have been afraid of trying to enable again in case it doesnt post. not sure if that would have been a bios things and should be fine to enable now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 DOCP is just amd equivalent to XMP right? The motherboard and ram should run at that speed, it’s just an opt in; I’d try to enable it again in bios and see, make sure you aren’t doing anything else different with voltages or whatever just enable the extended profile. I kinda did it wrong enabling XMP and ended up overclocking the ram to its regular default speed or something weird and it changed voltages and caused crashes. Then i went back to default and made sure to just set XMP and then it kicked in to the 3,200 speed and worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on Ryzen 3000+, try again. You shouldn't hurt anything. Perhaps try setting the correct voltage first, then docp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Spent some time with setting my cpu oc and got it locked to 5.1ghz all cores, and have my 3080 ftw at 2010mhz (firmware unlocked to 450w) and Cyberpunk runs okay. At 4k dlss performance rtx ultra it’s pretty much always 2-5fps off half the time and 60fps the other half. Pretty sure this is about as far as I can go (if it’s even stable) so I’ll just have to hope for the patches to improve performance just a tiny bit and I’d be good. I settled on 1440p balanced dlss rtx ultra and that pretty much locks in the 60 while driving and everything and honestly it looks fucking amazing so whatevss.

stepee Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think I’ve got my pc pretty settled with clocks I like while being stable. I had a crash at 2010mhz on the ftw3, might have been some other stuff I was messing with but just settled on 1995mhz and that works great. Put cpu at 5.1mhz all core and it maxes out in the 70’s still and is quiet. I freakin love this cpu fan. Ram I pushed from 3200 to 3600, it does squeeze a few more frames out of Valhalla which is now benching for me just 1fps under what I’m seeing for the 3090. In general when I look at any 3080 benches I’m up above it now so yeah good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 The “resize BAR” feature requires that your motherboard manufacturer also provide a BIOS update. So if you are interested, you will need to update your mobo BIOS and enable this feature on the motherboard via settings - IO - encode 4G and then enable “Resize BAR”. This in conjunction with the Nvidia driver coming in late March will enable this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had zero idea this was going to be a thing and certainly just got lucky with my motherboard pick. I would have been pretty disappointed right now to be getting 10% less in a bunch of games just because of some silly feature I overlooked. 10% is nothing to sneeze at, and it doesn’t seem to be something communicated very well for people who did 3000 series builds.

stepee Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yeah, I mean in theory it should definitely work, it’s the same tech, but I feel like nvidia would need to enable support in their drivers for it and they don’t list Zen2 as supported so I wonder if they plan to. I guess I just wouldn’t get too excited yet unless it shows as support now, but maybe! I’m also a little confused by this since I thought it was only a pcie4 feature and having a intel 10th gen rig I’m on pcie3. But I guess my motherboard (msi z490 A Pro) has some pcie4 features? I don’t quite get why it does, I think it even technically can support pcie4 nvme besides the fact that you can’t because intel..but this works. Weird.

There is no functional reason why these various chipsets couldn't be included, as AMD is already supporting them provided your mobo has the right BIOS. Nvidia could just be pulling an Nvidia and not allowing certain chipsets, BUT, I feel fairly confident that they will continue to add chipsets as time goes on. Nvidia's implimentation seems like it will be curated as opposed to AMD's "you get what you get!" approach.

I’m glad Nvidia is doing it the way they are since apparently it can slow some games down, and I imagine now unless there is some weird reason this should be in most big upcoming games that could actually use it. And yeah, I suppose it doesn’t even hurt nvidia to allow whatever supports it, they don’t make desktop cpu’s. What’s with the pcie4 support on z490 motherboards though? I mean, it’s cool this works, but in regards to anything else isn’t z490 dead going forward? It seems like stuff that will never have a use unless I missed something.

YEah, PCIe4.0 on the Z490 is a "barely" situation, where it works but the CPU doesn't increase total available PCIe lanes, so if you add one too many NVME drives, it can take away lanes for either your GPU or one of those drives. Starting with Rocket Lake, this won't be an issue because all future CPU chipset lan controls will go up a few lanes.
