RTX 4090 Owner's thread

As of right now my Spiderman performance at native 4k is horrible. I'm doing a fresh start from the beginning. I'm walking around on the ground through crowds and I'm seeing fps in the high 50's low 60's. Everyone else with 4090's is high 80's to over 100fps at native 4k with max settings.

 

Am5 boards need to update their bios.

 

Got my vertical today, installation was a pain but its all solid now.

PSU hopefully come in on Friday and then i can clean the case/glass

 

Yeah, have been eyeing those as well. Sad part is, there's nothing we can do about it. I used to buy at e-tec, luckily being able to do local pick up too, but charging 400-500 more is just evil. Bought my current mainboard at MediaMarkt back in the day, surprisingly, the price was competitive. No idea how it's going with returns with faulty hardware there, though.

 

The GPU gods favored me yesterday and I was able to acquire one ASUS TUF Non-OC 4090 (for MSRP ~2000€) from another retailer which should be delivered tomorrow

Yay!

 

Gz !

Let's hope you get lucky in regards to coil whine aswell

 

Hehe grats for MSRP buying

 

Hopefully

The likes of SCAN and OCUK will be holding back 4090's for their pre-built systems, they did this previously with the 3*** series when they were hard to get hold of.

 

Very happy for ya @Netherwind. The boost is games is mesmerizing. I am having a tough time with Spidey though not because of the card. I'm finding out through research it's because of the AM5 platform. @Spets brought this to my attention and as I'm researching the web, I'm seeing lacking performance.

I don't know if I'm going to wait for a BIOS update. My salesperson may hate me but I can't have certain games performing with 40-50 less frames with Raytracing due to a platform choice. If someone can help me out I'll be happy to try suggestions. I was expecting negligible differences between Ryzen 7 and Alder/Raptor Lake with certain games but nothing this huge.

My 4090 in the new system is literally giving me less than the 3090 performance in my old system in certain areas of Spiderman. This is with max settings and Raytracing.

Are there any other games that have this issue that you guys know of?

 

Hi @Spets,

I would have never thought in a million years that AM5 would have THESE types of issues. I'm not the fussiest guy when it comes to framerate differences when they are negligible. For example, If Intel gives 110fps and AMD gave 100fps in a game or vice versa, I absolutely wouldn't care. The gameplay experience would be the same for me. Max settings with high FPS is what I'm happy with.

A 40-50 fps drop in one of my favorite games is a heavy blow. I can't help to wonder what other titles are going to suffer? Biased platform enhanced games are usually due to GPU choice not CPU. My 3d Mark scores are not that great considering the parts I have. What sucks is that It took hours to route these cables and get my system to look clean.

I don't want to do this but I may be returning the board and CPU.

 

Thanks! I'm ultra happy.

Sorry to hear about the AM5 problems but like @Spets said (and what I've read) BIOS updates are required for AM5 users.

Regarding what you wrote about returning the board/CPU, there was someone else here who did that too, unfortunately his name escapes me atm. You could always try the 13900K which is released tomorrow? Or if you want to save a buck, go for 12900K or even AM4 (if you mainly game at 4K).

 

Can't you wait for a fix trough Mobo bios update or something?

 

Not sure, no, but I didn't get anything on my 3090 *sad face*

 

The question is when?? I'm not getting a next gen experience with some of my games. The 4090 is too powerful of a card to be held back due to AM5. I wouldn't care if it was 5-10 fps but 40-50fps @4k with Raytracing compared to Alder Lake and AM4 is unacceptable. My old 10900k, 3090, 64gb ddr4 3600 system is outperforming my new build in certain sections of games. That should not be happening at all.

I celebrated too early. The more games I install the more concerned I am. @nizzen and @Dragam1337 gave warnings but I NEVER thought it would be this huge of a difference. I'm just going to take a loss and return the parts for an Intel CPU/Mobo.

 

So what hardware is this?

 

Try to do it my way (only valid for 2xCCX CPUs)
SMT in Bios set to Disabled, only 16 real Cores -> test and report (You should get add. +15% minimum, it can beat X3D NP)

Note:
*I have Tweaked 5950X B2 with NUMA 0 and 1 pool cache in BIOS (System has it as 1 CPU with 16C and 72MB L3)
Per core OC and i have SMT OFF (not needed for gaming anyways)
I think 7950X can be tuned even better

*"AMD CBS\DF Common Options\Memory Addressing\NUMA nodes per socket" to NPS0
"AMD CBS\DF Common Options\ACPI\ACPI SRAT L3 Cache As NUMA Domain" to Enabled

 

I thought msrp is 1600€ not 2000€.

But yeah every 4090 i see here costs even more sadly.

 

I will try this and report back. Thanks @OnnA.

 

Should be in BIOS for Raphael also IMhO
"AMD CBS\DF Common Options\Memory Addressing\NUMA nodes per socket" to NPS0
"AMD CBS\DF Common Options\ACPI\ACPI SRAT L3 Cache As NUMA Domain" to Enabled

Note:
For normal usage (gaming and some light work) SMT can be OFF NP -> You get better gaming perf. and lower temps as well as better Manual OC per Core.

CPU V at ~1.2V (maby some more).
Try 5.4GHz on first 2 C in 1st CCX
then 4.9GHz on first 2 C on CCX 2

Rest adjust acordingly, even at 4GHz -> then check.
