I've read through most of the posts on the hub and looked through the website. I've also looked through the discord. I am still a bit confused as to what exactly Voxta with the VaM plug-in will do. - Are you only able to use it with specific scenes? - Can I use this in any scene including...

I'm not sure what your budget is or what your current setup is but, it may be more cost effective and convenient to buy a prebuilt so you don't need to try to part and piece something together. There are decent prebuilts for under $600. Here is a random one I found for $579. I'm sure if you...

I cannot advise on CPU vs GPU within your budget however, I can advise on RAM. I went with 2x32GB for 64GB because I do rendering and 3d modeling. I need the RAM for that work. If you are really only running VaM 32GB would be plenty. I suggest folks only get as much RAM as they NEED due to...

I rolled back to the same VaM version you did your benchmark on. Redownloaded the patch and put the settings in that you did. I'm getting almost the same results as the .7 version. Not sure what I am missing here... What do you have in your boot.config file? Likely just going to redownload...

So I disabled HT however, I realized I am running VaM Version 1.22.0.7 I'm seeing that the CPU patch does not work with this version. Decided to benchmark anyway just to see what happens. Minimal improvement over HT enabled. I used the same settings as you did for the patch btw. 14 series...

Thanks for the tip! I did not disable HT. I'll try it later today and post results.

Side note I'm quite happy with my PC overall performance so, likely will not look at any OCing. If I do anything, it will be water cooling my 4090. That thing will reach 90c if I'd let it.

As of now, the highest temp my cpu has reached is right around 65c under sustained full load. The KS model comes with a small OC from factory and i have the K series (no OC). I would think I'm safe to OC if I wished to do so.

Yeah, looks like by 4-5fps. I've not overclocked my CPU though. Not sure if the test I saw on here has an OC on the cpu. AMD looking like slight better performance for VAM though.

I'd rather not wait a year to get a hold of a 5090 for a PC build. I'm not willing to pay $4k+ for scalper pricing on early production runs. By the time the 6090s come out I'll be ready for a new PC build anyway.

Here is with the CPU patch

with CPU patch

First pass on a new PC setup. Nothing overclocked beyond the factory tune on the ROG Strix 4090. New monitor has not arrived yet so had to do a first pass on an old work monitor. Also, no CPU patch on this. PC Info i9-14900k ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC BTF ROG Strix Maximus Hero BTF mobo 64gb DDR5...

Here are results. Waiting for my new monitor to show up so had to use an old work one...

I think the 5090s may be more than $3k for the first couple months. 4090s are discontinued now. Cheapest 4090s are about $2,600 right now with most right around $3,500. At least in the USA. I imagine 4090s may come back down once the 5090 is released but, I won't be surprised to see $4,000...
