    Managing Audio and Video Outputs on an RTX 3090: Isolating Audio from a Port"

    I have an RTX 3090. It has one HDMI and three DisplayPorts. The HDMI is connected to the TV, while one of the DisplayPorts is connected to my soundbar. This configuration activates a second monitor, which causes several annoyances, such as causing RTX HDR to malfunction, along with many other minor issues. Is there a way to transmit only audio from the second port of the video card?

    2060 6/8gb or 3060 12gb?

    My build is on an APU based on the Ryzen 4600G, and I'm getting into stable diffusion. I know, more RAM tends to win, but the 2060 8gb would be a nice option with which I could put to savings...

    No, I can't pay more than that, but you can recommend alternatives at the same price range. For gaming... I figure anything I get would be an upgrade from an APU, so I care more about SD performance. So no AMD or Intel.

    4060ti or 4070 in pcie 3.0?

    So basically I have a 1080ti that I have had since 2017 and I think it's about time for an upgrade but I don't have the money to also upgrade my i9-9900k for a pcie 4.0 motherboard so I was wondering if on 3.0 is 4060 ti and 4070 similar or is it still a big difference?

    Does VSR work at all on YouTube?

    Drivers are updated, GPU Driver is set as the Video Enhancer in Edge and a Youtube Video is loaded. But VSR just stays inactive. I had it working some months ago but nowdays, it doesn't do anything.

    Also, no other upscaling is set in the nvidia control panel.

    Anyone got it working currently?

    Is this a good deal for a 3080 ti master upgrade?

    I don't really keep up with hardware prices but do enjoy playing games. I'm running a 1080ti and my friend offered me a 3080 ti master he's had new in box for a couple years for $480.

    I usually like going for the newest best thing when I upgrade but not really interested in paying over a grand for a new gpu.

    Thanks in advance!

    Considering buying a 4070 Super - do I really need to use two separate cables from my PSU?

    Using an Aorus P750W if that helps. Would be using it with a 5800x3d. My 6700 XT uses two connectors from the same cable and is fine (albeit with a 5600), and the 4070S has a lower TDP so would it be fine with the same cable?

    Physically shortest and coolest(not necessarily cheapest) card that can use NVIDIA RTX Voice

    So I made the mistake of buying one of those 'Extreme Nuc' cases, specifically the NUC11BTMi9, for gaming and it runs LOUD and HOT. I got a 3080 that fit in it, physically the only one that would fit, and I had to under-clock it so it would fit in the power/heat constraints of the case. I gave up, built a mid-tower PC, and use that for gaming.

    I want to turn my NUC11BTMi9 into a strickly OBS machine and want to get the smallest/coolest card that can handle NVIDIA RTX Voice. I'd be willing to sell my 3080 that came with it for the money to get a card that will work for this case. I want a physically small card though, this thing has like NO space in it, at all. The card that's in it, the EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080, is the largest card that will fit in it. In fact it would go in a lot easier if it was 2mm shorter, that are the dimensions I'm dealing with.

    The Length of the EVGA XC3 Ultra is 11.23 in or 285.37mm but if my memory is correct this was a lie, I think it is like 2mm longer. I think the case can hold a card that is 287 and this card barely fits. So anyway, a card shorter than 285.

    If push comes to shove this case has 4 NVMe drives, I could make one a oculink port but I'd prefer to keep everything in the case, make it a lot cleaner.

    DLSS 3 - Can you cap FPS in Addition To Reflex?

    I'm a bit confused on the discourse around DLSS 3/Frame Generation and framerate caps.

    I usually cap most games somewhere around the average FPS my system is able to maintain in order to eliminate VRR flicker caused by large variations in framerate.

    As I understand it, DLSS 3/FrameGen automatically utilizes Reflex to cap framerate roughly 2-3 FPS below your display's refresh rate.

    I have seen some discourse online, most slightly dated at this point, stating that you should not implement an additional, lower frame rate cap via something like NVCP or RTSS.

    Is this actually the case and, if so, why?

    GPU for video editing with i7 10700k & 16GB 3600mhz?

    Hi everyone,

    I built a PC like 2-3 years ago and have just been using it for normal everyday use (docs, ppt, YouTube etc) and now I’ve recently started video editing. It’s running a i7-10700k, 16gb 3600mhz RAM, and a 1tb M.2.

    I don’t have a dedicated GPU, and probably need one - I don’t want anything over the top (not that I mind but just budget constraints) and don’t mind buying second hand, but the truth is i don’t know where to start because I didn’t even bother looking at GPUs when I built my PC because of how overpriced they were at the time…

    I’m using 4K slog3 footage at 60fps and 1080p at 120fps….

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

    TOEFL - Nvidia

    Hey everyone. I have a TOEFL Home Edition test coming up in the next few days. I was checking the sources behind the sudden cancellation of some tests, and people said that Nvidia might cause this issue. On my laptop, a bunch of Nvidia software are installed (Control Panel, FrameView SDK, Geforce Experience, Graphics Driver, PhysX System Software).

    Does anyone know about such issues? And if positive, what can I do? I am not very good with tech and so I don't wanna end up modifying or uninstalling something that wrecks my laptop.

    Thank you!

    KFA2 GeForce RTX™ 4070 Super EX GAMER 1-Click OC

    I got a good deal for the KFA2 GeForce RTX™ 4070 Super OC - trible fan version for 589€ which is 50€ under retail + free shipping so I bought it without a second thought.

    I couldn't find a single review for the KFA2 4070 Super OC and never heard of the brand so I would like to know if KFA2 is a decent GPU brand?

    3070 rtx dual 4k monitors 144hz

    So I have a question for everyone. I need to have 2 monitors, because one is not enough for working but I also like gaming. Games like Fortnite, Tom Clancy's The Division, GTA V and some open world games and games with a good storyline.

    When I will game I will only use one monitor the second will be just turned on so will it be hard on the GPU to put out okay numbers of FPS on medium settings. I also want the 2 monitors to be the same.

    And if you have any suggestions please comment, because i need some other people opinions.

    PSA about RTSS's Reflex mode (you might be greatly increasing your latency!)

    I think some people are increasing their latency due to confusion about the new Reflex low latency mode in RTSS (software that MSI Afterburner uses). It has to do with how the Reflex setting in a game automatically limits the framerate for you, but the Reflex mode in RTSS evidently doesn't.

    For reasons explained by blurbusters in this article, the lowest latency way to play without screen tearing is to limit your framerate just below your monitor's max refresh rate (e.g., 58 fps on a 60 hz monitor or 117 fps on a 120 hz monitor), then turn on gsync and vsync in the Nvidia app (or control panel). This framerate limiting can have a major reduction in latency (see the graphs on page 5 in the above blurbusters article). This is relevant to Nvidia Reflex because it automatically does this framerate limiting for you when you turn that setting on in game (or turn on DLSS frame generation, which uses Reflex). For this reason, it's recommended to turn off other framerate limiters when turning on Reflex (or DLSS frame generation).

    This brings me to the new Reflex mode in RTSS that was added in version 7.3.5. It evidently does not automatically limit your framerate just below your monitor's refresh rate. Unlike Reflex low latency mode in a game's settings, you need to set a hard fps limit to get it to do this. If you're not doing this because you think it should work like Reflex when enabled in a game's settings, you may be greatly increasing your latency.

    I recently tested this in Returnal on my 120 hz monitor on a gpu (4090) that doesn't have a problem hitting 120+ fps in that game with frame generation and ray tracing off, and DLSS set to quality. Using the overlay that comes with the Nvidia app to measure latency, I tested 3 scenarios (all with gsync and vsync enabled in the Nvidia app, and with RTSS set to use Reflex rather than the previous asych setting):

    • In-game Reflex setting on, RTSS framerate limiter off (set to 0): I got ~117 fps output, and Nvidia's overlay reported ~18-20 ms latency.

    • In-game Reflex setting off, RTSS framerate limiter off (set to 0): I got 120 fps output, and Nvidia's overlay reported ~50 ms latency!

    • In-game Reflex setting off, RTSS framerate limiter set to 177: I got 117 fps output, and Nvidia's overlay reported ~20 ms latency.

    That's ~30 ms of added latency from not capping framerate, which I suspect that many people have been doing due to confusion since this new Reflex mode has been added. This new mode is cool. It is compatible with DLSS frame generation, which may be useful if you want to further limit your framerate to reduce power draw or to give you more CPU headroom (which I suspect could lessen certain CPU related stutter). However, it evidently won't automatically limit the framerate for you.

    Plus, being on RTSS 7.3.5 or later does not automatically enable Reflex, which is currently not the default (async is). You have to go in the settings to enable it, which most people probably haven't done.

    MSI 1050Ti & 1440p 165hz monitor

    Hello! I’m currently struggle with my setup for work. I’m using 34” Samsung monitor with 1050ti 4g gpu. No games

    That monitor allow 165hz, but I can’t archive it without artifacts. I’ve change display port cable 2 times, and got same results.

    So, main question is: does 1050ti allow 165hz at 1440p?

    Second: is there any other setting should I check? Thanks!

    Excited for my new 4080S... do I need to reinstall windows?

    I have a 2070 now, the new card is being shipped.

    1. Do I need to reinstall windows? Or how about do a clean reinstall of Nvidia drivers?
    2. How do I make sure my CP2077 game is now using the latest DLSS when I swap to 4080 from 2070? Do the drivers or the game gets updated to use the DLSS 3.5 instead of my 2070's DLSS 2.0?

    Starting with the Linux 560 Nvidia driver, the Open Source driver will be made the default option for Turing or newer GPUs

    From: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/unix-graphics-feature-deprecation-schedule/60588

    Starting in the release 560 series, it will be recommended to use the open flavor of NVIDIA Linux Kernel Modules wherever possible (Turing or later GPUs, or Ada or later when using GPU virtualization).

    If installing from the .run file, installation will detect what GPUs are present and default to installing the open kernel modules if all NVIDIA GPUs in the system can be driven by the open kernel modules. Distribution-specific repackaging of the NVIDIA driver may require additional steps, specific to that packaging, to choose the open flavor.

    In the release 560 series, it will still be possible to configure the .run file to install the proprietary flavor of kernel modules, with the --kernel-module-type=proprietary command line option. However, in the future, some GPUs may only be supported with the open flavor.

    Challenge for RTX 4050, 4060 & 4070 owners: to overload the encoder while live streaming in AV1, via OBS, with HAGS ON, under Windows 10 or 11

    Recently two tests were made to see how well NVENC performed while overloading the GPU with Furmark and/or the CPU with OCCT. 

    The first test ( https://youtube.com/live/cYhebFOwWiA ), with HAGS off, ended bad with OBS giving messages of encoder overload, while streaming a 4k@60 source .

    The second test with HAGS on ended well (https://youtube.com/live/dyesc6uwSwE ), but I'm interested in knowing how good both mobile and desktop single Ada NVENC solutions (RTX 4050, RTX 4060 and RTX 4070) are at streaming in AV1 while the system is under heavy load, because I'm about to influence the purchase of some gear where I work (and, unfortunattely, most hardware reviewers only care about game and AI performance).

    While I have a RTX 4070 Ti Super, I'm specially interested on RTX 4060 on mobile and RTX 4060 Ti on desktop. I think they can be good enough for our purposes. And if a mobile RTX 4050 is, RTX 4060s certainly are.

    I know it's ask too much, but me and others would appreciate if some of you have the hardware, time and interest to do your tests and share your results here.

    You can get Furmark here:

    and OCCT here:

    Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.

    rtx 2060 or gtx 1070

    Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I need a new GPU, and I have two options right now: the GTX 1070 and the RTX 2060. The RTX costs about 10 dollars more where I live. I saw a couple of videos, and the RTX 2060 peforms a bit better, but in VRAM demanding games, the RTX have issues with stuttering and textures. Which one should I go for?
