Its not worth it. If you’re gonna buy new ram too should do a mobo swap to ddr5 and a high speed ddr5 kit if you want noticeable gains

RockyXvII@alien.topBto AMD•AMD discrete RDNA4 "GFX1200/GFX1201" GPUs spotted in LLVM patches - VideoCardz.comEnglish1·2 years agoYou don’t have to buy anything next gen if the performance of the 7900XTX is enough. Unless you want the best RT performance but if you wanted that you wouldn’t have bought from AMD to begin with. They can keep raising prices because of consumerism. If you always go to buy the next thing they can keep increasing prices because you’ll just keep buying.
Update BIOS to latest, set VCCSA to 1.1v, disable memory fast boot, choose Gear 1, set memory reference frequency to 100:133, then try changing the dram frequency to what you want
12th gen ddr4 controller is rated for 3200mhz by Intel but unlocked chips can do higher unless you got really unlucky
I have a 12600kf, I’m using 1.25v system agent, 1.3v vddq, 1.45v dram to get 4000mhz working in Gear 1. I have single rank Micron rev B so it’s not too taxing on the memory controller. Dual rank would be more difficult
RockyXvII@alien.topBto Intel•Is the i5 12600kf and the rx7900 XT a good pair for 1440pEnglish1·2 years agoYeah they would work fine. I play at 1440p too and in some games, in some parts of them, I have seen GPU not reaching max usage which I assume is because of a CPU bottleneck. GPU usage is typically 95-99% but sometimes it will drop into 80s. After my CPU and RAM overclock, that drop was significantly reduced and now GPU is almost always being utilised fully
RockyXvII@alien.topBto Intel•What’s the difference between the 12600k and 12600kf?English1·2 years agoF means no iGPU
Get the K if you can. Better have the iGPU has backup and for Quicksync which is helpful for recording, streaming, render acceleration in production apps. In gaming, there’s no performance difference
When FPS isn’t enough or it’s bottlenecking my GPU too much. I went from Ryzen 2600 to a 12600KF at its launch in Nov 2021 because the R5 2600 was holding back my 6800 XT way too much in practically every game. When I got the 12600KF the bottleneck was significantly decreased and performance was up. I play at 1440p and notice still a little bit of bottleneck in some games, GPU usage won’t always be 99%. But after I overclocked the CPU and RAM… It’s chef’s kiss immaculate
Need to upgrade GPU now if I want more performance, especially after seeing games like Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk RT being a little problematic with this card. Waiting for 40 Super cards and Arrow Lake
RockyXvII@alien.topBto Intel•Is it true I can't go to 5600mhz with the 12600kf on 610i?English1·2 years agoYes, it is true
14600K. There is no doubt
Nice results especially on that 6700 XT!
My 6800 XT Gaming X Trio has a 30-35c delta. In games like Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk the avg core temp reported bounces between 70-72c but the hotspot will be 100-105c. This is with a reported power draw in Adrenalin of 280w. Had the card for around 2.5 years now and never repasted. The temps have always been high. Seriously considering a swap to PTM7950 to bring that delta down so the gpu fans don’t keep ramping up to 2200rpm and maybe I could increase power limit to overclock a bit further
Thanks for making this post
RockyXvII@alien.topBto AMD•Careful guys: Windows 11 23H2 Reintroduces Adrenaline bug.English1·2 years agoSomehow I haven’t experience this bug at all. I’ve been updating to every new driver as it releases and I’ve got the latest Windows 11 updates. Never had my settings reset
RockyXvII@alien.topBto AMD•AMD sets "Advancing AI" event for December 6th - VideoCardz.comEnglish1·2 years agoThere are no dedicated AI cores in RDNA3 (RX 7000)
AMD specifically call them “AI accelerators”. They schedule the matrix computations to be calculated by the texture units on the card using WMMA instructions
This is the same technique they use for ray tracing. They don’t have dedicated cores. The ray bounces are traced by texture units. That’s why AMD is behind Nvidia in RT
It saves them money on die size
RockyXvII@alien.topBtoHardware•The New Cost of Air Cooling - Dark Rock Elite & Pro 5 ReviewEnglish1·2 years agoPhantom Spirit costs less than half the price of the Elite and performs better, also doesn’t use a stupid propriertary fan mount or fan connectors. What an awful product.
RockyXvII@alien.topBto AMD•AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.20.17.05 For Alan Wake 2 Release NotesEnglish1·2 years agoThis is AMD. Fixing things quickly is not their MO
If the most intensive task your PC is used for is 4K gaming, it’s not worth it
RockyXvII@alien.topBto Intel•Intel’s new 14th Gen CPUs get a boost to gaming performance with APO featureEnglish1·2 years agoIf you want to oc, stick with MSI or ASUS. They have better oc features in BIOS, like per core ratios and switching frequency and memory power down toggle
I have a gigabyte z690 and was very surprised that even after all these years they don’t have a per core oc function (they have active core turbo ratios but that’s not the same thing, MSI and ASUS have it too) or a proper v/f curve oc option
It’ll work
Is this a system used for gaming? If it is, changing to a 13600k or 14600k would get you better results
