  • What I don’t understand is how I could be throttling on temps. I’ve been watching them and the temps don’t go above 60c for either GPU or CPU. And the other thing is, it will say I’m throttling as soon as the game loads when the temps are in the 50s. I have also been using a different program to track temps and the most I’ve seen CPU temps is 79c from loading shaders.

    Edit: looking at the config file for mango hud, it says : display GPU throttling status based on power, current, temp or “other”. It seems to me that, this popup appears if you have any 1 of those conditions.


  • Yes, I disable vsync for testing. I haven’t looked up too many benchmarks. I’ve been just watching the core clocks, temps and overall fps stability to determine if the performance is as it should be. I came across a reddit post saying that throttling in mangohud means that you’re using the most out of the PC parts and that’s what you want. So I’m going to not worry about it lol

    I’m not as familiar with and GPUs but are they able to do ray tracing? The new doom game supposedly will require a ray tracing GPU and if other games follow suit, I don’t want to be stuck with a card that can’t do ray tracing. I do like the pricing of the and cards and nvidia is getting too pompous at this point lol.

    EDIT: I looked up reviews and see the 7900 does do ray tracing but still seems to be behind nvidia. I also plan to use DLSS, how does FSR compare?

    Yes I do plan on getting the super versions of whichever card I choose. I do have an AIO already but I’m planning on selling my old rig. I do prefer the look of AIOs but maybe I’ll look at those air coolers.

    It looks like the 7800x3d is in stock again, would the AIO still be overkill for that? My other goal is future proofing my system.
