Can't wait. Since I didn't get it on launch date, I figured I'll let someone put it through the grind to see how far it can be pushed.it's going to be a busy night testing out the new Nvidia 3080 with MadVR. going right for Gemini Man and Billy Lynn 4K/60@Javs fyi!

The 3090 heatsink is a monster! i've been pushing the OC's to the limits tonight to see how far I can go and there is still plenty of temp headroom. I was pulling ~600 total system watts on the Port Royal 3DMark test with a 9900K @ 5ghz on all cores.
very cool, between this, the new cpus, all the mainboard m2 slots and pcie4 i finally feel like upgrading from my 4770k / z87 / sata ssd setupThe 3090 heatsink is a monster! i've been pushing the OC's to the limits tonight to see how far I can go and there is still plenty of temp headroom.

I have to stop with the gaming benches and get the rig into the HT asap
Can't wait to see your results between the two. Not sure if I'm willing to spend for the 3090 if there is not a significant improvement with MadVR over the 3080. But if it's worth it, what's $1,500 for pure enjoyment in MadVR 😁that's no moon.. it's the RTX3090.. ! it's the size of a small planet
Thermals are impressive so far during burn in with this monster size heatsink and 110mm fans. it's very quiet too.
hoping to get some time later tonight to run through some MadVR tests.

Are you having too much fun?😁The 3090 heatsink is a monster! i've been pushing the OC's to the limits tonight to see how far I can go and there is still plenty of temp headroom. I was pulling ~600 total system watts on the Port Royal 3DMark test with a 9900K @ 5ghz on all cores.

it's been 2 weeks and haven't been able to get the computer back into the HT..
Which are those? Love racing games, as well, but have nothing even remotely up-to-date.
It most certainly can ( Asus 3080 TUF) BUT with some reduced settings..
hi, all current favorites are from codemasters. Grid, F1 and the Dirt series are great fun to play. Grid is my first recommendation if getting back into it.
I ran several tests with Billy Lynn and Gemini Man 4K/60, both the 3080 and the 3090 (with a 2ghz+ overclock) still required checking 'Compromise on HDR tone & gamut mapping accuracy' so that frames aren't dropped.
Any noticeable improvements with the 3090 over the 3080?I ran several tests with Billy Lynn and Gemini Man 4K/60, both the 3080 and the 3090 (with a 2ghz+ overclock) still required checking 'Compromise on HDR tone & gamut mapping accuracy' so that frames aren't dropped.
With it un-checked, frame rendering is in the 24ms range and has to be under 16ms with 4/60K content. With the compromise checked, it's ~11ms. Both tests done with NGU Sharp (high).
@madshi fyi
Thanks! There are so many games in those series, though. I know that there were good and bad games in the Need for Speed series. How about Grid, F1 and Dirt? Any releases which were extra good? Or some which were less good than the others? Or to ask more directly, which release in the Grid, F1 and Dirt series is your favorite (in each series)?
Even the Envy Pro with its 1660 Super can do 4K60 tone mapping with "Compromise on HDR tone & gamut mapping accuracy" unchecked without dropping a single frame. Sure, it has to compromise on a couple other options then (e.g. IIRC it currently doesn't do Highlight Recovery at 4K60, not sure which chroma upscaler it uses, and it has "compromise on HDR luminance channel quality" checked). But some options are more important than others. Which is why Envy decides automatically and has a specific priority list in which options are auto activated/deactivated, depending on how much processing power is available.
hi, my current lineup of favorites:
I thought maybe the 3080 & 3090 would have been to run the 4K/60 content without any of the compromises. Looking forward to you working with @Javs on potential changes. On my HTPC I have a folder with screenshots of the last major changes from exactly 1 year ago, it's hard to believe how fast time passes. Thank you for all the amazing MadVR efforts and wish you continued success with the Envy!
Hey, sorry to flag you down but does this sound fixable through madVR? Or should I pester Windows?
