Reducing I/O overhead is what I read based on the first batch of articles about consoles and DirectStorage. It makes sense to me. I modded Skyrim a lot and also needs to do a lot of file-to-file backup of small files. My SSD/HDD throughput slows down to a crawl when Windows need to access a ton...
That's because game assets are in small files and the IO overhead in retrieving those small files are the bottleneck. DirectStorage and consoles will require games to package their assets in bigger blocks to reduce this vast overhead. However, that still doesn't explain why we need PCIe4 and...
I've been reading up about DirectStorage but still not sure how level loading can be eliminated. My understanding is that DirectStorage just bypass the CPU and allows the game assets to be decompressed in GPU. However, most of the level loading wait time is waiting for SSD/HDD. So unless we all...
Last time I had a PSU fried my PC was in the 90s. After that I learned my lesson and used PC Power Cooling PSU which was the only consumer premium PSU brand available back then. Things are different now. Modern PSU/MB from reputable brands have enough protection that the worst it can happen with...
If the GPU Boost variance between individual cards are greater than the difference in AIB models, why do we bother reading AIB reviews? Luck will be the factor in the performance delta you got for your money.
How valid are 3090 reviews between AIB? I just got a MSI Ventus OC 3090 1725Mhz and it GPU Boost by itself to 2025 Mhz and caused power surge in my PSU. I did not overclock and everything was on default. I undervolt to prevent the surge but are still getting 1950 Mhz. I have no idea GPU Boost...
Not sure why no one else answered this. The Windows task manager in default does not do a good job showing the workload of GPU for CUDA tasks. You need to go into the GPU tab and pull down a "compute" or "CUDA" view to see it.
I just learned about GPU Boost and why my MSI Ventus OC 1725 Mhz 3090 spiked to 2025 Mhz automatically and caused power surges in my PSU.
What is a good source to learn about GPU undervolting? No Youtube please. Video is terrible for this kind of technical learning where back and forth...
