Yeah as long as the person has an eligible card they can redeem. Not sure if a 3070 can redeem, I assume not. I've seen a few people swapping CoD for Watch Dogs.

Cool, will shout somewhere about that once I find my code then--if any goons see this and are interested in swapping out their Watch Dogs code for CoD, give me a shout.

I turned off Gsync and closed a few more programs and improved the graphics score by 350 up to 16735. Here's that http://www.3dmark.com/spy/15081546

My friend has a +80 core, +450 mem OC and got 18150 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/51081619 He noticed my temps are 7C warmer.

- Yes I'm using two cables
- I installed the card, went into Windows, installed DDU, booted to Safe mode to run DDU, went back in Windows, it found some drivers, then I installed newest drivers through Geforce Experience
- I turned off GSync, VSync, don't think I have any FPS limiters
- Haven't done this but TimeSpy showed 70C. I saw it get up to 74C and fans went as high as 66%. Highest Power Consumption I saw was 90% TDP doing 310W.

System is:
Ryzen 3600
XC3 Ultra 3080
MSI B450-A Pro
2x8GB Ballistix Sport DDR4-3200 CL16
Seasonic Focus GX-750

Another person was reporting similar issues that went away when they set their windows 10 power plan to maximum performance. Try doing that and see if your score improves. If it works, then you can manually adjust the power plan settings to idle properly and try it again.

It HAS to be sold and fulfilled by Newegg. If it's a third party, it will not qualify for Step Up.

Its a 1k improvement and puts me about in the right range as everyone else.

I picked this up and while my main gripe with it is having some horrible microstuttering (people with freesync/gsync displays probably don't notice) and GPU utilization issues, but one aspect I was really stuck with was the absolutely horrible colour banding in this game, it's something I haven't seen in years.

I mean it's a very good looking game overall, but I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more critique on this - it's so obvious and really detracts from some scenes.

Yeah because your CPU score. I don't know your clocks but people with CPU clocks of 4.3-4.4GHz on the 8700K are getting better CPU scores than you. I believe it should turbo higher than that all-core while stock, shouldn't it? The entirety of the CPU test should be at max clocks because it's short, like 30 seconds, PL1 Tau is default what, 100 seconds? So even as stock as stock can be you should be getting higher CPU scores than that. Is turbo disabled on your 8700K or something?

Honestly I don’t know if turbo is disabled. I’m gonna check the BIOS now.

I should have clarified though it looks like I’m in the bottom 22% of GPU only scores when I did the compare thing on their website.

Although that could be because a lot of them are OCing their cards and I’m not sure if you can filter that?

I feel like the GPU score should be in the 16k range though?

Stuff like this, but I remembered it being worse so I checked just now, and a factor was def because I was using AMD's Fidelity FX originally, which made the posterization worse (screenshot below is with it disabled).

It's relatively minor though, I'm far more salty about the microstuttering and vsync GPU utilization issue that I can't resolve as DX12 doesn't expose the frame buffer end-user control which I could use to overcome this.

TSMC makes AMD CPUs and GPUs on their 7nm process. Samsung is making the Nvidia 3000 series GPUs on their 8nm process, although Nvidia also has Ampere compute products that are made on TSMC 7nm.

Haven't had a chance to play any games to really test stability but I undervolted my 3070FE a bit to 875 mV @ 1800mhz, to see if it would help temps in my ITX build.

Numbers are from running Superposition.

Benchmark score went down 0.2%
FPS basically stayed the same (minimum +1, avg same, maximum -1.5)
GPU max temp dropped 4 degrees C
Power draw went from 219W to 190W

Your memory showing up as 1600mhz seems weird. What does CPU-Z show on the SPD tab? I have a similar system to yours, Ryzen 3600X and DDR4 3200, and my SPD tab shows I'm running XMP 2.0, and Windows Task Manager shows my memory speed as 3200mhz.

It also looks like you're running an old version of CPU-Z, by the way - current is 1.94.0. What does your bench run at in CPU-Z? This was what I got running it a few minutes ago:

Here's the SPD tab and my benchmark (Ryzen 3600 and DDR4-3200).
