Leather jacket man strikes back in theaters near you, soon?

Hey everyone, a couple of weeks ago I posted my thermals asking about a re-paste due to excessive hotspot temp (113c). Just finished completing it using PTM7950 and well, look at the difference! I included a before and after. Also a couple pics of the die included for fun - you can see the paste pump-out on the die and heat sink. Overall the procedure itself wasn't too difficult - just nerve wracking due to market conditions. I ended up re-using the pads due to how clean they were. These results were also just after application, I have not let the PTM7950 "settle" yet so the temps should get even better.

Wondering about generative al,thermals, & somewhat gaming. Are there certain brands that are noticeably better? Also, is intel or AMD the processor better for this? Ty. (No room to build a desktop)

I wanna switch to Nvidia and im Planning to do an upgrade in a month or so, looking for some recommendations that would pair well with my Intel I5-12400F CPU. If need be upgrading the GPU would also require upgrading the CPU im good with that aswell.

Physx isn't gone yet! Just needs to get used! I've been a Physx fan for quite a long time, even before NV acquisition of Ageia Physx. So I wanted to share the latest PHYSX benchmark with everyone.

The benchmarks. Three in total, CPU and GPU NV CUDA PHYSX and VULKAN.

CPU PHYSX. The CPU is doing the collision calculations. 2x Warp core chambers x5,000 bodies 8 threads each fixed workload. 5 quick, 10 standard and 25 pass extended runs.

CUDA PHYSX. We are counting Boxes instead of spheres to increase collisions and constraints to give the Massive Blackwell GPU something to do. The particle count is 150,000 boxes and the score is by steps per second. 5 standard pass benchmark 240 steps measured per pass.

VULKAN Physics - which NVidia can run, but the benchmark also supports AMD Gpus. Designed for maimizing frequency with a simple 8,192 Sphere all pairs workload. Score is Steps per second.

Experiement mode - Some left overs of developer testing. How many particles does it take to create a more than 50% utilization workload. How many did it take to create score regression, meaning more particles isn't always the answer to heavier Physx loads. A new addition is neurotix mode. Designed for heavy system stressing.

5070 TI Passes Run at default settings. Example CUDA score result

150K bodies - Peak Contact points 7,603,105 - Peak Contact Patches 1,872,700 = 7.4536 Step/s and this is the scoring.

Current GPU Physx support is Blackwell, Pascal and Maxwell architectures, with more to be supported through time. App developed on AM5 platform using 9800X3D and 5070 TI and 9070 GRE. Other tested cards, 3070, 1080 TI and M6000. Other hardware used, such as 5090 or 5080 blackwell submissions can be viewed at TechPowerUp Forums.

It's still Beta, but if you have interest in NVIDIA PHYSX, this benchmark might be fun to check out!

I currently have a 4060 laptop but am considering switching to a desktop 9800X3D + 5070 non Ti

For those using a 5070 at 1440p or 4k with DLSS, how does path tracing hold up? Can the card maintain 60 FPS in most current titles at 1440p using DLSS 4 Balanced? Games like Cyberpunk 2077 are of particular interest. Benchmarks are available but often lack real-world context, so l would appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually played through these games with path tracing enabled.

Hi.my name is anastasis and i go to high school. I always loved computer science and technology but i never had a pc. Just a laptop with 4gb ram that i have dual booted with arch linux. The last days i started using geforce now and i started searching about nvidia and i got a little frustrated in the website . I then found like lessons but i couldn't understand if that was the lessons or not and if all these are free. I want to start learning more and like become a dev and dive into Nvidia but i dont lnow where to start what to do. I just want like guidance .

Built on CUDA

Hii folks,

I usually play AAA titles in 1440p. Now I am confused between these cards since I have both for same price in second hand market. Both below 280 euros but similar. Which one should I go for..? Thanks.
