Just bought some new PC components

Tested Tales Of Arise with some changes/experiment I made to the game's engine. I increased the 3D landscape, Lighting and Meshes LOD Scales and Landscape LOD distribution scale from the game's standard highest settings (for 3d static and skeletal meshes, lower values = better quality):
[SystemSettings]
r.LightMaxDrawDistanceScale=3 ; 3 game default = 1.0
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.001 ; game default = 1, 0 best LOD
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2 ; game default = 0
r.ViewDistanceScale=4 ; 3 game default = 1,
foliage.DensityScale=3 ; game default = 1
grass.DensityScale=3 ; game default = 1
foliage.LODDistanceScale=9 ; game default = 1
r.LandscapeLODDistributionScale=3 ; game default = 1.0
r.LandscapeLOD0DistributionScale=3 ; game default = 1.0
Temps 51 - 63 C most of the time. With 2 CPUs out of 24 hitting 64 C for 1 - 2 seconds around 3-5 times during Almeidrea before battle cutscene and during the battle (hardmode battle) with her and her Dragon. And another 2 CPUs hitting 65 for 1 - 2 seconds 2 times during Almeidrea defeated cutscene. The fans working good to lower it back to the 51 - 63 C range super quick. Good temps overall. Am satisfied. Recorded it:

read more stuff on RTX 5080 from wccftech, niiice!
The GPU will adopt brand New Features, Coolers & Designs With A Launch Expected At CES 2025.
Will be the top of the line for gamers around the world when they debut and it looks like Benchlife has some more information giving us an idea of what to expect from the next-generation offerings. Considering that NVIDIA has reportedly finalized the design, it will take a few months before the products are ready to be shipped for retail and it makes sense to introduce the card at January's CES 2025.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs are also going to feature a brand new design which will encompass the PCB, Cooling solution, and power delivery. The GeForce RTX 5090 in particular is expected to utilize three individual PCBs, each housing different components of the chip. We've previously detailed what the PCB might look like and from what we know, the primary PCB that houses the GPU will consist of 16 GDDR7 memory modules, each with 3 GB of VRAM capacity & running at speeds ranging between 28-32 Gbps. This will provide the highest VRAM solution ever on a consumer-tier graphics card.
Other changes will include the new Founders Edition design which is said to utilize a compact dual-slot cooling solution for the RTX 5090. It is not clear if the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 would share the same Founders Edition cooling as that was the case with the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080. But overall looks and presentation will be different from the RTX 30 and RTX 40 series.
The 400W GeForce RTX 5080 or the 600W GeForce RTX 5090, they can only use a single 12V-2×6 connector. There are no two sets of 12v on the GeForce RTX 5090 as reported by some media. -2×6 connector.
With that said, the 600W/400W TBP figures don't represent actual power consumption which will be lower than we have seen in previous generations. The RTX 4090 was rated at a much higher TBP of 450W than the RTX 3090 but it ended up consuming less power in games than the RTX 3090 Ti & the RTX 3090.
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards will end up being the first to support the new standard, offering double the bandwidth and transfer speeds versus PCIe 4.0.
Lastly, the next-gen lineup is also expected to feature support for DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20). This will allow the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards to be certified for compatibility with the latest DP80 displays, providing up to 80 Gbps of bandwidth or double that of HDMI 2.1 interfaces.
The launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards including the GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 will mark a new beginning for the PC gaming segment. While the competition has moved to compete in the mainstream and entry-level segments, NVIDIA will be seen as the one that caters to all segments from enthusiasts to budget users. Expect more information to roll out in the coming weeks.

And a 24GB VRAM RTX 5080 also rumored to come after the 16GB VRAM variant Launch
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 specifications were leaked yesterday and the first thing that everyone was able to point out was the halving of core and memory specs for the RTX 5080 vs its bigger brother. the memory itself will utilize the newer GDDR7 standard which should bring a nice uplift in bandwidth and we can also expect a L2 cache boost.
Now obviously, 32 GB VRAM on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 sounds much more enticing, and 24 GB for the RTX 5080 would've been a better choice but it looks like the initial memory configuration might be limited due to GDDR7 yields. GDDR7 is going to be a fairly new memory architecture and the process needs to be mature to allow for higher speeds and capacities. Early reports suggest 28 Gbps die speeds and 2 GB capacities per module but that might change.
According to prominent Chiphell Forum member, Polymorph, who has previously leaked the first GPU pictures of the GA102 "Ampere" GPU core, revealed the configurations of RTX 40 series cards and also detailed RX 6000 "RDNA 2" GPU specs, it looks like NVIDIA may offer a 24 GB variant of the RTX 5080 in the future.
Now there are two ways that a 24 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is going to happen. The first and least likely way is that the green team uses the GB202 GPU core, allowing for a 384-bit memory bus and a 24 GB configuration. But there's another path and the more likely one which is to use 3 GB VRAM modules which will be available with GDDR7.
The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will feature 16 & 8 GDDR7 modules, respectively. That gives us 32 GB and 16 GB memory using 2 GB modules but with 3 GB, you can get up to 24 GB for the RTX 5080 while keeping the same PCB design, core specs, and also the same 256-bit memory configuration. It all comes down to when the 3 GB GDDR7 modules will be ready for mass production for next-gen GPUs but it is well-known that GDDR7 scales from 16Gb to 64Gb so a memory upgrade is definitely in the equation.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 GPUs First With PCIe 5.0 & DP 2.1a Support On The Market
Besides the launch and design of the next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series, NVIDIA is also planning to introduce new features within its Blackwell Gaming GPU lineup. Some of the features highlighted are support for PCIe 5.0 specifications.NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards will end up being the first to support the new standard, offering double the bandwidth and transfer speeds versus PCIe 4.0.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Rumored To Get 16 GB and 24 GB Variants, Possibly A 3 GB GDDR7 Module Upgrade

Read from wccftech. I would have to wait even longer, should I decide to get 24 GB VRAM version of the RTX 5080 instead of the 16GB VRAM launch version :
Samsung confirms that it has developed the industry's first 24 Gb GDDR7 DRAM which would utilize its 5th Generation 10nm process technology, offering up to 50% increase in cell density while maintaining the same package size as the predecessor aka GDDR6. Samsung's GDDR7 memory would also incorporate clock control management & a dual VDD design to improve power efficiency by over 30%.
Recent reports that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU might come in a 24 GB capacity option make a lot more sense given that Samsung has already planned commercialization of 24 Gb modules by early 2024. As such, we can see other memory makers such as Micron & SK Hynix follow suit, allowing for higher capacities and speeds on both mainstream and high-end GPUs.
Validation for the 24Gb GDDR7 in next-generation AI computing systems from major GPU customers will begin this year, with plans for commercialization early next year.

Read from tweaktown, nice! Hopefully the RXT 5080 Super/Ti with 24GB VRAM will materialize soon and with good enough Price to Performance ratio :
Samsung will be showcasing its next-gen 42.5Gbps GDDR7 memory modules at ISSCC between February 16-20, 2025, ready for what could materialize into NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series GPUs.
How do we know this? Because the ISSCC website lists an event from Samsung "Nonvolatile Memory and DRAM" event that is held on February 19, 2025. Samsung will be showing off its flagship GDDR7 memory, which is capable of running at a blistering 42.5Gbps... this is huge, as the first fleet of RRTX 50 series GPUs should feature 28-32Gbps GDDR7 memory.
NVIDIA's initial fleet of GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs will use 28Gbps or 32Gbps GDDR7 memory modules depending on the SKU, so Samsung's ultra-fast 42.5Gbps GDDR7 modules could be used on beefed-up cards like the RTX 5090 SUPER and RTX 5080 SUPER graphics cards.

Will be too expensive for me.
Well you already have the PS5 anyway. In my case (as I posted before) , I purposely skip the Ps5/Ps5 pro since all the ps5 games are on pc too now and the spec hog DCS will get even more demanding and been saving to get the RTX 5000. Killing 2 birds with one stone.

True. Though the Ps5 is still a good value gaming machine, I mean you can't get a gaming PC as strong as the PS5 with the Ps5's price.
Unless sony is going to go bonkers with the Ps6's price. If that's the case then a good gaming PC will be the best way to go imo.
read more stuff from tweaktown:
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is expected to feature 16GB GDDR7 memory, offering up to 960GB/sec bandwidth and 400W power consumption. It promises significant performance improvements, especially in ray tracing and 4K gaming, with DLSS 4 enhancing image quality and efficiency
NVIDIA's current-gen GeForce RTX 4080 features 716GB/sec of memory bandwidth, while the RTX 4080 SUPER features a slightly faster 736GB/sec memory bandwidth, so the RTX 5080 with 960GB/sec memory bandwidth means it'll only have 5% slower memory bandwidth than the current-gen RTX 4090 (which has a much wider memory bus, too).
Inside, NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 will have the GB203-400-A1 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores (51% less than the 20K+ on the RTX 5090. We can expect the new RTX 5080 to match RTX 4090 performance, but I bet with DLSS 4 enabled and the upgraded Blackwell GPU architecture, the new RTX 5080 will surpass the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 SUPER with its hands tied behind its back, and the RTX 4090 by a big margin with DLSS 4 enabled.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 details so far:
RTX 5080 16GB + RTX 5080 24GB: We've also heard that NVIDIA will offer the RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7, but have a newer upgraded RTX 5080 with 24GB of GDDR7 memory leaving the RTX 5090 with its monster 32GB GDDR7 memory at the top.
16GB GDDR7 @ 32Gbps: We don't have more VRAM on the RTX 5080, with both the RTX 4080 and RTX 5080 having 16GB of VRAM. The big upgrade here is NVIDIA is using ultra-fast, next-gen GDDR7 memory... so, same 16GB, but radically faster (and cooler).
Up to 1.0TB/sec memory bandwidth: The RTX 4080 has 716GB/sec of memory bandwidth, so with somewhere between 896GB/sec and 1.0TB/sec of memory bandwidth from the RTX 4080 is going to offer huge performance improvements at 1440p and 4K.

No, the RTX 5080 is just 400W and it's using the new ATX 3.1 configuration with 12v-2x6 instead of 12VHPWR Gpu power connector cables and socket. The melting problem mainly stemmed from the cable being bent, which increased electrical resistance along the bent section and reduced the contact surface area of the connector pins. The new connectors are 90-degrees angled, drastically reducing the strain placed on the cable. And with increased flexibility of the connectors, 4 springs for a larger contact area with lower impedance, and a thicker terminal, and already tested by them, it lowers the temperatures by at least by 5°C during high output too. Pretty much Solves the melting issue of the RTX 4090 and hardware experts are expecting the RTX 5080 to have a performance better than the RTX 4090. And also the RTX 5080 will have the new GDDR7 VRAM that runs cooler and much faster than the RTX 4000 GDDR6 ones.
And Yes I already know you have the 3070 8GB, triple posts lol, the 3070 is just 220 w maximum and is never prone to heat as I said before, even if you put the fan into normal mode, no need to worry about the fan speed of that GPU.

Read more update from videocardz:
We have been informed that CES 2025 will primarily focus on the RTX 5080, so it wouldn't be surprising if Jensen showcased the 5080 first.
Starting first in January 2025, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 16 GB GDDR7 memory and blazing fast speeds of up to 32 Gbps will be available soon after CES, in the middle of January, aiming directly for the performance crown positioning. It is rather interesting to see the 80-class GPU as the first to debut on retail shelves, as last time, it was the 90-class GPU that was sold first.
Benchlife's report suggests that Nvidia will use slower 28 Gbps GDDR7 modules across all its Blackwell series of GPUs, except for the RTX 5080. Like its predecessor, the RTX 5080 is rumored to possess the fastest memory in the entire lineup, this time at 30 Gbps, allowing it to dish out 960 GB/s of bandwidth if we assume a 256-bit memory interface. Previous leaks suggest the RTX 5080 will ship with 16GB of VRAM and that configuration is only possible with 16Gb modules and a 256-bit interface, so our calculations stand consistent.

My PC is getting on to about 4 years now, with W11 on the horizon, thinking of what I should do with it.
Well microsoft is always forcing us to get newer windows. I won't be upgrading to win 12 until many games are forcing you. Win 11's Direct x12 is still the main rendering API used by games.
