Cables matter.
I haven't had a proper backup harddrive in years. I have an external encloser with a 1 tb NVME SSD inside it.
Since with my new PC I got a 2 tb drive I figured time to upgrade it, when I ordered an SSD it came with another free enclosure a while ago.
My motherboard is a B board and only has 1 USBC port(lame). So I hooked up my current external drive via USB-C to a dock I had plugged into the USB-C port, and then I plugged the other 2TB SSD enclosure with a USBC to USBA cable and plugged it into the fast orange USBA plugs.
I started the copy and it was going at a grand total of 35 megs a second.......................on a computer from 2024. Wtf. I was out the door so I didn't have time to mess with it.
I got home and still copying at 35 megs a second.
Since Windows 11 lets you pause a file copy I hit pause. I changed things around so the 2nd enclosure with the 2TB was using a USBC to UBC cable and plugged directly into the motherboard, no dock. Then my original enclosure I hooked up the orange USBA port using the cable it came with which I know is capable of high speed.
Unpaused the file transfer and it shot up to 90 megs right away.
I kinda want to upgrade my motherboard just to get more ports and overclocking ability, I just don't know if its worth it.

Finally got around to doing a little overclocking on the 4080 Super. Ran the MSI Afterburner overclocking scanner, running 2865 core rock solid. Also did +1,000mhz on RAM so at 12,500 RAM now.
I should be able to do 3,000 core easy if I put the voltage to 1.1, however for some reason Afterburner won't let me. I already tried different voltage access settings in Afterburner, not sure what I am doing wrong.
Other people running 4080S are able to set the voltage manually. I need to do more digging.

I use EVGA Precision X, haven't tried overclocking on anything since a long time ago though. I heard the 4080 is very power efficient.

*edit* Meant to put this in the "what are ye currently playing" thread, moving it there.
Been actually thinking about getting a Ryzen 7 5800X3D or even a Ryzen 9 something, and some faster RAM.
I think they even made a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, but I think for the 3080 I might need 5800X or better. It's also nice to have the larger cache and faster speed, really helps in huge games like Jedi Survivor.

My i9 10850k cpu usage bounces around from 22% to 32% in Horizon Forbidden West most of the time but my 3080Ti OC is at 99% usage all the time but I play at 4k. I don't think a faster CPU would do anything for me. It appears based on the usage percentage that I need more GPU for my CPU since it seems that the CPU is sitting around bored waiting on the GPU to render frames lol. My CPU be singing: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go....

I went from a 10th gen to a 14th gen and in for example Dishonored 2/Dishonored DOTO it ran great on the 10th gen average fps but on the 14th gen it never drops below 120 fps, it just feels so fluid and responsive. Obviously if you are playing mostly single player games it doesn't matter as much.

Turns out the reason I couldn't change the voltage on my 4080S is because the latest release version of Afterburner doesn't support the 4080S, only the beta branch. At least it wasn't because I didn't check the right box.

So success. I got the 4080S running at 1.1 voltage all the time using the beta version of Afterburner.
Overclocked the RAM 1500 mhz so running at 13,000 mhz now, and the clock going between 3000-3015. Not sure how to make it stay at 3000 and never move, need to try more things.
Ran a benchmark in FarCry 5........and the lows were the same OC and no OC. I guess FarCry 5 is too old for even 1440p to make a difference.
If I was running 4k or doing like 200% resolution scaling maybe there would be a difference.
I finished a couple rounds of Killing Floor 2 with the OC and no crashes or artifacts, KF2 is locked at 150 FPS max tho so its not the best text.
I turned "Nvidia Flex" on which says "Warning, this is a very performance demanding features, a minimum of a Nvidia 980 is required!". First time I have ever seen that feature not tank framerates........if its working right. I seem to remember it producing more gore then it does.
Need to test CyberPunk 2077

..........and nope. CyberPunk crashed at the title screen using those settings. Need to back down and try again lol.
Also, I don't know how but my PC got set to Balanced power mode. I had it set on High Performance day 1. I know I checked it at least once since then and it was still on High Performance.
No idea how that happened.
