Maybe this is the kind of performance that EA was expecting for the PC port of Jedi Survivor
Still wouldn’t get 60FPS with no stutter lmao
But.. higher-end hardware results in lower performance, for Jedi Survivor..... apparently.
yeah lmao
nah .. EA rather expects 20 fps and paid dlc for 1 fps extra
Thats just the corporate machine demanding a prodouct gets shoved out the door. The "well patch it later" mantra. EA is plenty big enough to have ZERO excuse for poor performance on PC. Hell, I'm willing to bet their dev rigs are not all that different from a high end gaming rig. You don't need A6000's for Game dev. A 3090 or 4090 can even overkill.

I love the Alex and Linus videos like this because they take all those weird late night/shower ideas and actually do them.
Everything from production quality to the ingenuity behind creating solutions as you go is why I'm subbed to LTT. I couldn't care much for a "new" laptop with x and y now available, but waking up the techie at heart in me makes me think my 1080Ti might still have more to offer with ideas like these
Fun fact: it is said that if you try this mod at home, the warranty card for your GPU spontaneously combusts.
Your PC just transforms into a little robot that electrocutes you and then runs back to Nvidia
I mean if I were to do it I’d use a glue gun instead of soldering wires to the GPU. You could also use glue gun to shunt mod any GPU . Not that I condone warranty fraud of course
I love all the Linus and Alex videos where the whole idea is "we shouldn't do this. It's insane and kinda dumb. But let's do it anyway and take it to 1000%."

Super mega like you listened to my comment(and probably others) and went JBC with the soldering station! Regarding the discrepancy in voltage readings between what the card reports and the multimeter reading (at specific TestPoints, measurement in these conditions is location dependent, best location might be on the small center SMD ceramic caps behind the GPU, closest to the load), is because of the high current draw of the GPU and voltage drop in distribution to the load (GPU Core). @ 600[W] with 1.1[Vcore], current draw would be a whopping 545[A]+ (0.75[V]->800[A] if that was Vcore)...

Also Linus:

@@jcspotter7322 a kWh is 3.6 million joules of energy, it’s a constant. Something doesn’t draw energy measured in kWH, you measure in watts over a timespan. A kW per hour would be 1000 joules in the timespan of an hour (0.0027kWH) so to say this difference doesn’t matter is kinda stupid

It's good to know the stock cooler on the Strix is really really good and water cooling is not necessary to get really good performance out of this. Plug it in and forget. Just don't forget to plug it in properly.
I agree the cooling on my strix 4090 has been way better than what I first had on 3090. I burned my hand on 3090 backside 105c BS lol. Had to add it to my custom loop.
Did they finally get that chilled water cooler working?
My recommend solution is to use a water tower feed with an overflow bypass to stabilize the output.
Simply put, you use a tall pressurized pipe as a reservoir. You have flow input in the middle, to fill it with cold water, the cooling loops take input through a manifold at the bottom, and the top has an adjustable overflow pressure valve that feeds to an unpressurized return reservoir that the loop return also feeds to.
Still a lot of wasted pressure, but at least now what is going through the loop is stable and regulated.
Wouldn't it have been "easier" to use the Galax HoF 4090 for this? That card comes with an unlocked vBios as well as two of the 12vHPWR connectors on the card as well as the VRMs to back that up since it's meant for hardcore OC and record breaking.
Yeah considering that thing got 3.6GHz it would’ve been the only way to truly make this video. Then again is that really a 4090 if it’s been modified so much? I think this video was a demonstration of rigging a typical consumer 4090.
"Omg that's your notes for this video?" Is such a strong start for an LTT video 🤣

The tip to soldering motherboards is to heat gun the area you want to solder then solder it on with a bit of flux
when i used to overclock my PC i bought a small chest freezer and fill it with water, make a closed loop with it and it works like a charm with my i7 4790k and gtx 1080Ti
The 4th thing you can be limited by is critical path in the silicon itself. There has to be enough time between clock pulses (the thing you decreasing by increasing clock speed) for signal to propagate from one register to the next.
But that’s not what’s locked tho right?
@@enacku If i’m understanding the top comment right than that would be “locked” in a sense. There is a minimum amount of time it takes electricity to travel along the traces in the board. You cant adjust the length of that
In this case however, it’s a natural limit and not one artificially imposed by nVidia.
@@rockyrailgun-s Yeah, that would come down to manufacturing nodes and actual chip design to make those routes shorter and more efficient;
You're gonna run into other troubles with that at some point though, if you go too close with transistor gates you might get electrons going where you don't want them to.
Once you get closer than 3 nm on your gate size you start getting tunneling effects, so there's a fundamental limit to how small you can make one.
@@rockyrailgun-s in short: yes
in long: yes until they go fully insane
16:13 - Correction: Win + Ctrl + Shift + B doesn't really "reset" the graphics driver. I highly recommend reading Superuser questions # 1127463: "What does CTRL+WIN+SHIFT+B do in Windows?"
According to someone claiming to have worked on the team at Microsoft:
_The key combo was added to help diagnose instances where the machine is churning along but there is nothing on screen. Pressing it when you don't have a blackscreen just adds noise to the system. A driver reset is a possible side-effect but not the intent of this key._
Awesome! So it’s not a driver restart that is directly fixing issues when I use that, it’s actually the doot sound itself fixing the system! I never would’ve known that
that's funny because this "side effect" helped me through a lot of screen freezes on ESO
Pretty interesting, yes its saved me from blackscreens before but its also resolved a lot of other graphical errors I've encountered through my time. Nice find and good read!
Weirdly, this caused my system to become unresponsive for a while and then one of my monitors to flash an odd pattern. Rebooting was the only solution
Isn't it V?
My 980 TI reaches about 320 Watt in a stable overclock with 40 Degrees Celsius. I find it still impressive that this card is in my system now for years and is still running really well.
12:45 "Man I remember when they were cool" See that's the thing Linus, they want to stay cool
When alex says "It might be fine, it might not be fine" at 14:00, it dawned on me that they are doing this on a GPU that costs almost four times as much as my computer
If you add up the stuff they have in storage it will probably be more than your house (or the house you would like to have) is worth 🤷🏼♀️
3:33
Yes, yes they are. They're using 24* 70A power stages.
70A power stages can not do 70A continiously (standart conditions). Those are rated at 20-30A continious with 70A peak current capability (for at least couple dozen of switching cycles).
40-50A with waterblock cooling might or might not be possible.
@@volodumurkalunyak4651 sounds like a job for Buildzoid xD
@@Kr0noZ Biuldzoid actually said practically the very same thing.
He also mentioned efficiency curve beeing at the highest point at approximatly 20A for 60-70A power stages
@@volodumurkalunyak4651
Yes they can, they're literally specced that way by the manufacturer. Look at a SiC832 (which is a 70A SPS) datasheet for example, they list 70A for "continuous current rating". Now should you run them at 70A? No, obviously not, because they'd run really inefficient = create a lot of heat. You're completely missing the point tho, if you would've done your math correctly you would've noticed that they would never even come close to running at 70A with the 1000W BIOS.
@@-eMpTy- manufacturer is so confident in above mentioned power stage working at 70A continiously that datasheet efficiency curve don't even come close. I am even sure it will handle 70A continious... under LN2 (approximate 13W power dissipation per power stage is no joke).
I haven't wrote "that will not run 70A at all", but "it will not run 70A at standart conditions".
OMG Linus your exact blank face stare into the object, and the way you had your hands behind your back leaning over the workbench, and reaction to Alex when you said "Uh-huh." @7:46, that's exactly what my late techie uncle Paul would do, when observing my cousin and I working on PC's.

This. AMD GPUs tend to be way more open to messing with and modding one to do this sounds easier.
I've been very interested in an external water chiller for years now. Never had the budget to pull off yet. Glad to see someone gave it a try.
Thats way overkill. There is absolutely no point of doing it.
GPU tweak III overclock function ive found is a good start, it pushes my strix 3080ti to over 2ghz ingame regular (100mhz higher than the best afterburner) clocks and 200mhz over defaults in OC mode. There is also a tickbox in the settings to enhance overclock range which helps with boost clocks. The ram is happy 500mhz upwards also which helps, with the bin samples for the strix ranges, ive always been able to push them further, ram clock in gaming i dont, core yep.
I'd like to see videos on these types on mods on Radeon and Arc GPUs. Lets see how far a 7900 XTX can be pushed and how for an A770 can be pushed.

16:15 Gold tip!!!
Have been OC'ing everything since core 2 duo and it's first now i hear about that shortcut. I know, WTF, right...
Even 450W is way more than the card actually needs. I occasionally set mine to about 60% PT at which point it only loses about 5-8% performance but it draws about 250W. This thing is crazy efficient. As a reference, my previous 3070Ti would deliver way less than half of the performance while drawing about 330-350W
You can do the same thing to a 3070 Ti, though, undervolt it to consume 200W while performing just slightly worse.
@@deheavon6670 Right, but it would obviously not perform like a 4090 -10%... While it makes me wonder about stability, it's what you get for it that's impressive in comparison.
While the 40 serie is very underwhelming on so many level, so far consumption isn't really something we can complain about, it pretty much makes RDNA3's efficiency marketing look stupid.
@@vuri3798 very stable for me so far in any case I have tested it. To offer another perspective, I am playing Apex Legends at 4K 144fps locked (medium-low settings) and the 4090 (60% PT) pulls around 150W. To get the same performance with the 3070ti I had to overclock it, at which point it almost mostly stayed at 144 fps but consuming around 350W. Oh, and the 4090 is also at around 40% utilization in this scenario.
I did the same thing on my 3080Ti, when undervolted and power limited it draws around 180 to 250W in game and most of the time for a very small to insignificant loss in performance. (not to mention this nearly removes any coil whine in games that usually produce a lot of it in stock configuration)
4090 costs 6 months of wages in my country, who cares if it draws 600 watts.
18:01 "Riding that razor's edge". Seems appropriate for F1 racecars driving in the rain...
4:05 Just click on the box with the number and you can cycle through the max, min, average, and live wattage.
In GPU Tweak you can go to VF Tuner and ( i know that's not the point of the video ) , set a specific max voltage and frequency so you can undervolt/overclock as well.
Did that to my RTX 3070. Higher Core Clocks with significantly less Voltage ( From 1.060V to 0.956V ), lower temps and lower power consumption than stock.
Lovely Tool.
18:19 Alex canceled Linus’ Ult💀
i think i need a visual representation of what linus said at 4:20
You should do that, with the 7900XTX. I heard it scales very well with more power and apparently at high enough power draw, will actually outperform a stock 4090 :D
yeah ,Greatings from Brazil!!! i luv This kind of video!!! JGARONI OC here baby
The performance went down after you increased the memory clock because these chips have ECC memory. At some point it'll start putting out more and more errors which have to be corrected. You don't see artifacts like we've seen with older cards, but what you see instead is a performance decrease.
That is coool!
That's a really smart observation. Can we/you measure this somehow? Alternatively, if you understand virtual memory, page faults, and paging/thrashing where our OS's can no longer advance the real task and spend almost all time swapping pages between physical and virtual, a comparable thing can happen between a processor's cache and its main memory source of data. We then can argue that the problem is an I/O bandwidth problem (which is why we have the cache in the first place). I would not know how to measure this all, though.
@@jpdj2715 cpu bottleneck....
Now this is what I've been missing in this generation - some excitement and pushing the envelope!
Fun story about firmware/BIOS updates. I was updating the BIOS of an old P67 board when it froze on the update. I left it overnight, but it was toast. Fortunately, it had a removable BIOS chip. One Ebay order later and I had it up and running again! I wonder if it was a common enough issue to make the chip removable.
It’s not necessarily a big issue, tbh. You can get an eprom chip flasher to fix a corrupted bios which is quite affordable or some computer repair stores have one themselves and they can do it for you if you’re uncomfortable doing it yourself.
I don’t think companies need to stock bios chips, especially since bios corruption rarely happens.
I love these sketchy techy videos. Sketch Tech Tips?
Biggest takeaway for the regular user from this video is that Win + Ctrl + Shift + B resets the graphics driver. Never even knew this was a thing, much less that it was in stock Windows. Thanks!
I have a 2kw electric heater in my room, I can't wait for Alex to match it with the 5090! (Alex + Linus Chaos-Danger-Jank videos are the best)
balz
that gpu bios backup feature saved a friends card big time, was a first release 1070 with some sort of bug in firmware causing clock speed errors, found same card with a way newer bios, flashed it and clocks stayed at idle, rolled back the card and it worked fine without the bug so /shrug
a good behind the scenes video would be the fire suppression system at LTT studios.
I DEFINITELY thought that said “GPU TWERK” when I saw the window
This makes the 4090Ti look very promising. The 4090 isnt using the full ad102 die. The leaks suggest the 4090Ti will be 2x 12pin ATX3.0 new connector thingies. So the power limit will likely be way above 600w. I think the Ti version may just be insane.
EDIT: Maybe its AD103. Can't remember. The point remains the same.
The fact that are about to drop a 4090ti and sell it for more and then still probably launch. A titen ada at 4000$ or more yet 97% of people don’t want to pay much more than 500$ for a flagship gpu
Unaffordable trash
But it's still won't overclock, it won't matter if it's the 4090 or 4090ti so long as NVIDIA removed the ability to do so and continues to push out third party board makers who knows how to push the damn things (like EVGA).
@@jeremybeaverson7167 they don't care they realised they can sell half as many for twice as much and also they're going ham on selling cards to companies doing ai crap.
No it will be ad 102 definitely. Fully euqipped ad102 will have 144 SMs instead of 128. So about 12% more shader units for the upcoming 4090ti. Hence a 600w TDP should provide plenty of power.
when he said his vison was going, i instantly thought of, omg were getting older... ive been watching this dude for so long, time just passed by so much i didnt even realize.
4:25 "...my vision's going...", I felt that, Linus.
Glad that even though you guys have an actual lab with expensive equipment still manage to do entertaining videos
Now I’m even more interested in why it was stuck at that performance cap.
16:13 Win + Ctrl + Shift + B has saved me mid Rainbow Six game multiple times where for some reason my GPU would "Disconnect" (is what Windows Event Viewer calls it) and it would switch to my CPU graphics.
13:15 He said "GPU Twerk" again XD
Man I'm really in love with all the videos with the new cooler.
This is an interesting difference compared to Ampere, where I flashed a 1000w EVGA Kingpin bios to a reference 3090 and it will just suck up as much power as you give it, up to 850w I've tried. The returns are very diminishing but it does gain performance every step of the way from 350w stock to 850w. And that's without any voltage mods and regular water cooling. Presumably a card with better power design than reference could use even more power but the one time I tried letting it eat the full 1000w it tripped some power protection in my power supply, as the card has only 2 8 pin connectors. Even though it's a 1600w platinum super flower.
Where can I find these custom bios? I knew they existed but my 3080ti FTW3 Ultra draws over 400w regularly and sits around 2000 on the clock with no tweaking just a (very aggressive) custom fan curve. I have two ftw3 hybrid kits (long story on why 2) that I'm finally thinking of installing it as it sits around 78c-79c under full load and the summer heat is coming. EVGA isn't clear on the instructions regarding the bios change to register it as the hybrid model though. I'm not going to 1000 but I'd love to tinker with a higher draw custom bios. TLDR to you have the bios url? :) thank you!
these cuts with the metal music are a+
The limitation to voltage is directly proportional to the scale of the circuitry in a digital IC. The higher the voltage the more chance it will jump these minute traces within a chip. Some of those spikes you are seeing is essentially 2 circuits within that chip shorting via arching. The smaller the scale the lower the ceiling on voltage.
Remember that episode where you built the cooling system that used two to those blower motors for filling bouncy castles? I thing that would have helped in this episode.
OK guys Very entertaining love the human aspect that you guys bring these videos
I love the editing team. Keep them around!
The fascinating thing about all these crazy voltmodes with ridiculous power draws is that if something goes wrong, it bangs big time
I am a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts, and I think Win + Ctrl + Shift + B is my new favorite one.
that shortcut does not reset the driver
@@nainmain yes it does.
@@raresmacovei8382 yeah also if I remember correctly all it did is restart the desktop environment
@@HyBlock so your source is: trust me bro.
@@nainmain nope all you have to do is Google "reset graphics drivers windows shortcut" and you'll see plenty articles. Not only do you not know what you're talking about, you're acting like you have any idea too.
Nice to see you all got a good soldering iron finally :D
Win + CTRL + SHIFT + B
That's a super useful command I did not know about before, thanks Alex!

Love these mad-scientist videos with Alex!
Whats crazy is that air cooler could probably handle the overclocks if you replaced the paste with LM
I loved doing this back on my 3090 strix days
I added 20 watts to my 3080 Ti mobile via a bios update. Huge performance boost when used with a good cooling pad.
