Good catch!! I hadn’t touched my 13 Pro Max for a few weeks once I got the new phone. Turned it on to record this video. I’ll definitely keep that in mind, especially with benchmarks. Thank you.

16 Pro Max has the same 120hz ProMotion adaptive refresh rate as the 13 Pro Max. The normal 16, yes it only has a 60hz display.

Yeah, I wish I would have went with my go-to graphite.

Haha, my father-in-law has one, so I might ;)

@ it’s the trade I did

That’s a huge jump! I bet you are loving the increased speed.

@ absolutely! The camera and increased storage are my favorite parts. I went from 64g to 256g and one to three cameras. The increased speed helps with CapCut a LOT

Agreed. I don't care for the camera slider, but the cameras themselves are an upgrade, for sure. I'll do another video comparing photos/videos soon.

Yeah, I was really happy with my 13 Pro Max. My mother-in-law will enjoy it very much :)

I've definitely considered switching back to Android, just to check it out. Most likely running both phones. I have an old Galaxy S9 for testing games, but I'd love to experience a newer Android device.

My mom says I’m cool.

100% agree.

Totally your call.

Thanks! I’m still working on splicing my longer form content down to bite sizeable shorts. If you check out my full vid, it has my conclusion ;)

Good call. I quit.

No overheating issues since my 12 Pro Max.

@ ohh wow that’s awesome, a longer shelf and battery life

You crushed mine. Well done!

@@JohnLCharette Either the app has problems detecting CPU and GPU(I got 33k GPU that is more than the IPhone 16 Pro Max) or Apple’s logic isn’t logical 😢

I don't think the processors are any different between the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. So, it's most likely just a silicon lottery type thing. Congrats on 1K subs, btw.

@@JohnLCharette Understood! Thank you very much!🤩🥳

We are very happy with ours.

Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of it is the design. I remember testing a Dual 3070 and it was incredible. I used to mine on it and the VRAM were super cool. I assumed it would suck, but it was great. That said, I'm still using one of these ProArt 4080 Super's as my daily driver.. its great. No issues. I don't game much, but the only time I hear it spin up is when I'm rendering my KZbin videos.

@@JohnLCharette Thanks for replying. There's also Asus Prime with 3 fans but there are no reviews with the pcb and radiator exposed. I hope the rtx50 will use parallel radiator fins like the Asus Dual on the 3 fan models. I can't find any reason to blow very hot air from the gpu directly towards the mb (and the ssds which may be mounted there) and inside the case, when it can be ejected outside the case.

Only a few differences.. that's for sure.

If you enjoy linear switches, absolutely. I love the design, layout and lighting options. I personally enjoy tactile switches, so that's all that turned me off.

MSI Vigor GK41 Dusk is mechanical for our market.I wanted to take the LOGITECH G412 TKL SE, but on the Internet they talk about bad keycaps.they are both at the same price.I just haven't gotten used to 61% of the keyboard in 1.5 years and I'm looking for a replacement.​@@JohnLCharette

Yes, it's a mechanical keyboard with linear switches. I'm still searching for a replacement for my Corsair K95 RGB. It's a monster and way too big. I certainly don't want something as small as 65%, but something 1800 would be nice. I like my numpad :)

Thank you so much!

I used mining as a way to test the VRAM temps. It's the fastest way to heat them up.

Hmm have you considered the SLIM version as well? There may be stock in that.

I think so. If you read through a lot of the comments. Some others have resolved the same issue with different models. Sometimes there’s 10 pins instead of 9, but I’m told you connect the transistor to the same pin 1 + 9 and it works. Let me know how it goes.

Oh wow. That's one way to do it ;) Thanks for sharing your story. Are you able to share which model Synology you purchased and why you decided to switch brands? I'm still shopping for a solution myself.

That's a great question. I'm actually not sure. When searching for 280mm solutions, I confirmed that the Arctic Freezer II worked, so I went with it. I would compare the size of either Kraken or AF III and see if they match the size of the AF II.

Oh gosh. Please say more..

@@JohnLCharette You handle components like my 3 year old would if I let her build a PC

Haha, possible collab?

Doesn't look like it, from my quick search. This is something to consider when buying a card. When I speak with Asus, they always boast that their TUF and Strix cards are waterblock compatible unlike many other brands. I'm not sure if anyone will make one for this card unfortunately :(

@ ok bro thanks I'll keep looking

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to say that the TUF 4080 was the same price as the TUF 4090. I just didn't have any footage of a TUF 4080 on-hand, so I used my old TUF 4090 footage. I labeled the video so people knew it was a 4090 and not a 4080. I guessing if I hadn't labeled it, people would have said 'Hey, that's a 4090, not a 4080'. My apologies for the confusion.

No, I haven't undervolted it, but I hear that's very common.

Good to know. Thanks for the input!

If you're looking for pure performance, I would get the ROG Strix if it's only 20 euro difference. The ProArt card has it's own unique design and is much smaller.. but because of that, it's a bit louder too. If you can fit a Strix card into your case, do it.

@JohnLCharette rog one is 4070 ti super and pro art 4080 super. also is proart model game performance normal like other 4080s ?

Yes! The ProArt 4080 Super will perform the same as other 4080 Supers.

4080 super

Ohh yeah, that'll be a great upgrade for you. I used it as my daily driver for 6-8 months. I also don't play a lot of games, but when I did.. it worked very well at 1440p ultrawide.

@yeah, man. It’s time. That card has been good to me and it’s been in two different builds but I’ve been running into its limits for a while now. Working in Lightroom with those high resolution photos is painful and annoying, especially considering I make a decent chunk of my income that way. This may be interesting for other photo/video editors: the main reason I’m going for the TI version is the dual NVEC encoders. Great thing to have for video editing and rendering, as this card will be twice as powerful as the non TI version for that. The only thing I’m a little worried about is my PSU. It’s 650W. My CPU is an i7-8700. That one is also getting a bit old but it isn’t the current bottleneck for what I do. I have 48GB DDR4 RAM across 4 banks (started with 16GB and added 32GB later) and I have two HDDs and 4 SSDs. I’m debating whether I save the PSU upgrade for when I’m upgrading my motherboard & CPU in a couple of years or do it now.

Yeah, your power supply is a little small. Consider that a 4070 Ti can pull about 225w at max load. Then add your CPU is another 100-150w. A couple HDD and SSDs may add 100-150w. Generally, you don't want to push a power supply past 80% of it's total available power. 650 - 20% = 520w. Adding up all of those values, you're close. You'll probably be fine, as you leave that extra 20% for spikes. My next question is does your PSU have 3x8pin PCI-E cables to connect to the 4070 Ti?

@ my cpu has a tdp of 65w. It’s the non-k version. But your math lines up with mine. It’s cutting it close. The PSU doesn’t have those connectors I believe, but you have adapters/converters for that, right?

@@JohnLCharette now I’m debating whether I should wait for the 5070TI that’s supposed to come out in a month or two. Decisions decisions…

Sorry to hear about your issues. To me, it sounds like a power supply issue. What size power supply are you using? Consider buying a 2x8pin PCI-E to 12vhpwr cable like the one I speak about here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HYm6F5ZtF6j5Y

No issue at all. I was genuinely curious to know if the 3080 capped out the VRAM based on only have 10gb of available VRAM, and I was proven wrong. To your point, the scene itself only used 9.2gb of VRAM and there for using a 3090 Ti with 24gb made no difference. I'm not a 3D expert, nor do I used UE5 at all, so my question is how complicated does the scene need to be to use more than 10gb of VRAM? Is that a common use case?

Haha, I was trying to mimic the cooking guy from @AryaHungry_

No idea! I'm curious though.. let me know how it goes.

Ahh, sorry to hear about your experience. To be honest, you'll probably run into this problem with most cases if you mount your GPU vertically. It tends to block all of the PCI-E slots.

Oh wow. Yes, that's a huge jump! I had two of them so far and love them.

Yup, it's quite loud. I haven't gamed on mine much, but I do certainly hear it spin up when I do. That's a good comparison though, to an EVGA XC3.
