en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… An enthusiast tested the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 0.67 V and a GPU clock of 1890 MHz. Although the card has a nominal power rating of 300 W, peak consumption during the experiment was around 143 W. That is less than half the nominal figure, but there was no direct comparison with actual power use at factory settings. The GPU temperature stayed at or below 48°C, while the hotspot reached 51°C. According to the Reddit gamer, the performance loss was smaller than expected. No exact FPS figures were published, so the actual reduction in gaming performance cannot be quantified. Other owners warn of driver crashes and system freezes below 800 mV, although some report stable operation at 0.75 V. Stability depends on the individual GPU. A 60 FPS cap and upscaling can also help reduce GPU load during gaming. #NVIDIA #GeForceRTX5070Ti #RTX5070Ti #Undervolting #GraphicsCards #PowerEfficiency #GameGPU

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A PC user experienced a catastrophic failure of their Ryzen 9 7900X3D processor on an ASRock motherboard. With about six months of warranty coverage remaining, the owner submitted an official RMA replacement request directly to AMD support. Instead of receiving an identical replacement, the customer received a brand new Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor. Manufacturers often ship newer equivalent models when previous generation stock is unavailable in local distribution hubs. Community members congratulated the owner and advised against using the original board. The user confirmed purchasing a different motherboard and prepared to update its BIOS for full hardware compatibility. #AMD #Ryzen #Ryzen9 #Hardware #PCMR #Processor #Upgrade

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Hardware enthusiasts have identified a serious manufacturing defect in a 12V-2x6 power cable designed for graphics cards. The internal metal terminals inside the plastic connector housing were not properly secured and moved freely along the channels whenever the wires were slightly bent. Such displacement severely degrades the pin seating inside the graphics card power socket. When a terminal slides back, the reduced contact surface triggers an uneven current distribution across the power lines, causing excessive electrical resistance and rapid local overheating of remaining pins. The issue was resolved by replacing the faulty cable. Users are advised to inspect pin depth before plugging in connectors and ensure terminals do not sink during insertion. #hardware #gpu #pcgaming #powersupply #tech #pcbuild #nvidia

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/pro… The developer of the KytyPS5 emulator fork has achieved noticeable performance improvements running Ghost of Yotei on PC. While earlier experimental builds reached only 1 to 2 frames per second, the latest version demonstrates a framerate increase up to 18 FPS during real-time rendering tests. Testing was conducted on a high-end system featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. The monitoring metrics clearly show a severe CPU bottleneck, which leaves the graphics card idling while waiting for the processor to complete its draw calls. The engine successfully renders open terrain, water, and character assets despite present shader glitches. Optimization work focused on multi-threading continues.

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… An enthusiast managed to optimize the FSR 4 INT8 upscaling algorithm running on an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card under Linux with the RADV driver. The frame processing time dropped significantly from 3.61 ms down to 2.48 ms in standalone benchmarks, delivering an impressive 31% speedup without any degradation in image quality. The key performance gains were achieved by grouping pixel memory writes at the end of the final 4K pass, unrolling internal neural network loops, and utilizing cheaper equivalent int8 rounding instructions. The investigation also revealed that Vulkan to DX12 translation bridges waste up to 9 ms per frame. The full bug report is now submitted to AMD developers. #AMD #FSR4 #Radeon #Linux #Vulkan #RDNA3 #OpenSource

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… NVIDIA limits the speed of certain tensor operations on consumer GeForce GPUs using Turing, Ampere and Ada Lovelace. With FP32 accumulation, these units run at half the speed of professional accelerators. This does not directly affect gaming FPS. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the SEC2 controller's Booter microcode made it possible to bypass the limit. The exploit switches a register from HALF_SPEED to FULL_SPEED. On the GeForce RTX 4090, theoretical throughput for these operations rises from 165 to 331 TFLOPS. Actual application gains may be smaller. The method does not work on GeForce RTX 50 cards using Blackwell. A different RISC-V-based FSP security processor controls startup, while firmware is protected by encryption and digital signatures. The old Booter attack path is no longer present. #NVIDIA #GeForce #RTX4090 #RTX50 #Blackwell #TensorCores #SEC2

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/obn… The action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker received a dedicated performance update aimed at refining frame pacing and overall stability across systems. The new build introduces technical optimizations delivering a performance improvement of up to 15%. Comparative side by side benchmarks confirm tangible gains in both average frame rates and minimum baseline metrics across demanding open areas. The update visibly smooths out frametime spikes and eliminates micro stutters during intense combat scenarios on mainstream hardware configurations. Developers restructured processor workload distribution to ensure smoother gameplay and confirmed ongoing technical refinement based on feedback. #TheBloodofDawnwalker #Dawnwalker #RPG #Update #Patch #Gaming #PCRN

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Customers attempting to purchase hardware through the European PlayStation Direct storefront encountered technical display glitches.
