Benchmark Result Discussion

GPU: NVIDIA 5070ti
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3D
RAM: 32GB DDR5-6400

No overclocking at all.

Was a litte worried about my GPU underpeforming, cause I knew that would be the throttle (I got the 9800x3D on a somewhat decent sale, so I was happy to spend the extra $100 AUD to get it over a 7800x3D) but it seems to be comparing pretty well to the 5080 benches here, given the price difference I'd say it was a good choice.

Without CPU performance patch:

With CPU performance patch (did practically nothing because of how gpu throttled it is, as expected.):

Hey I just bought a 5070ti and I can get it to 100% utilization but the power draw will never pass roughly 170 watts and the performance is quite bad, in other games or benchmarks it can hit 300 watts. Is your 5070ti pulling 250+ watts when you make it gpu limited? Thanks for your time if you could check this for me.

Ran another benchmark with HWInfo open to check this, it was a custom benchmark cause I didn't feel like restarting VaM without session plugins but I doubt it matters for this. I did pull around 220-250 watts for most of it, peaking at ~257W for a short period;
Not quite the 300 you were quoting, but def higher than 170 watts.

Did you add (and configure) the CPU performance patch? I reckon it only didn't help much for me due to the really good CPU I have, on my old rig it helped quite a bit (can't remember the numbers though).

If it hits 300W on other games, then it must be something in the software for VaM, or something to do with VR if you are running that here and not elsewhere. The only other thing I could think to check would be bypassing SteamVR if you are running it in VR, I don't get how it would help but it is about the only other thing I could think of bar the patch (and obvious things like drivers, which I am assuming you have checked by this point)...

Edit: Actually I also have the NVIDIA Overaly disabled, as it can apparently cause Virtual Desktop to run slower, so that's another thing to check?
Kinda reaching here though tbh, I really have no clue what could cause 100% utilization but lower power draw outside of thermal throttling or undervolting, I'm still somewhat of a beginner with all this

Has anyone tested/benchmarked the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K vs AMD CPUs with a 5080? I'm seeing online Cinebench benchmarks showing intel has a higher single core performance score however if I could see the comparison with screenshots, it would make it more clear.

285k runs worse than 13900k for vam. Therefore even worse than 7800x3d or 9800x3d. Sim games love 3d cache.

And here is while using CUDIMM DDR5 (8400).
It beats my old 13900k built, by a tiny bit, but it's totally not worth uprgrading if going from gen 12-14.
As for intel fanboys, like myself, the only hope for a gaming performance is upcoming Nova Lake platform, releasing near the end of this year. They finally will use bigger cache and will be able to catch up with AMD.
