I wouldn't be surprised if the next person in charge is even worst.

Welp I tried it out for myself. 1440p DLAA no FG and RR Preset F, 82fps without NR and 69 with NR. I don't think NR tanked the performance THAT much. 🤷‍♂️ If this was 4K then the added render cost would be another 2.2ms so I would drop down to ~60fps for 4K. Path Tracing hits performance a lot...

Shouldn't Portal be using the new preset? Shouldn't be tanking performance that hard unless you were already at 100+ fps without FG. 100fps is a 10ms render time so if you turn on NR then it will add 3.8ms to the render time which brings the fps down to 72. If you have an even lower base frame...

The performance will get better, but in it's current state I think it's already good enough to use even at 4K without the need to run it pre SR, unless you are playing with Path Tracing on top of that, in which case maybe it's actually PT performance that could use some work? Here's Onimusha...

I think when it comes to gaming, the anti aliasing technique being used is really the make or break factor. When Horizon Forbidden West launched back in 2022, the performance mode looked insanely bad, and the developers actually tried to gaslight people into thinking that their TV settings were...

Agreed. $140 to protect something that is now worth over $10k seems well worth the investment to me.

Pin imbalanced solved with the new cable. Thanks guys! The WP2 might have just saved my 5090 from a future meltdown.

Yeah which is why I'm replacing the cable since I'm sure long term the current one will eventually run into issues. That one pin pulling 9 amps is probably fine for now but later down the line maybe it's going to reach 10amps or more then eventually melt.

I've only plugged in my 5090 once when I got it and then it's been plugged in for the last 16 months and never touched. I'm wondering if it was actually operating totally fine the entire time then only when I unplugged it for the very first time and plugged it into the WP2 maybe the wiggling...

Supposedly TrueBlack 1000 displays are in the works, maybe a 2027 launch if we are lucky. I would get one to check it out since I'm already back to 1440p atm and it's not as bad as I remember thanks to DLAA. 1440p with anything but DLAA does indeed look like ass though.

For sure, I'm just concerned about longevity with this thing, pulling 9-10amps might be OK short term but perhaps the thermal stress over the years will eventually cause it to fail. My 4090 on the other hand went a solid 4 years without issue and the WP2 pretty much confirmed it's running as...

Thanks guys went ahead and bought it off Amazon for $20 it'll be here tomorrow. Crazy, I would have never known my cable was going bad without the WP2.

Any recommended cable brands? I'm using a Corsair RM1000e. EDIT: Nevermind I see the official Corsair one is $20, I'll get one right now.

Honestly, I wish instead of chasing insane maximum peak brightness figures, we instead get HDR brightness along the lines of the Ally X20 which is Trueblack 1400. The peak brightness figures isn't something insane like 2500-3000 nits, but I feel like this would give a better overall HDR...

And here's my 4090 which has gone through 4 years of use. It's also throwing a pin imbalance, but this time it's only 5/7 so I'm not really worried about that at all.
