    AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 Now Available

    If you have Hogwarts Legacy, boot it up, turn on FSR 2 and hop over to the Forbidden Forest. The foliage is a noisy mess whenever its in motion.

    [Rumour] PS5 Pro dev kit prototypes will be going to 1st party developers within the next couple of months

    Here's the MLID video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV7BJKnZfP8 Isn't 67 TFLOPs of FP16 closer to the RX 7700 XT?

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Disagree with this. HUB's rationale is based on the combined RT and raster performance, a standard that they don't uniformly apply to the other tiers. Even their own data (albeit a bit old now) shows the 7900 XT is a closer match to the 4070 Ti. I can't entirely blame them given the RDNA 3...

    official AFMF drivers 24.1.1

    Many were getting crashes related to the game's Screen-space Global Illumination, including me. Turned that off and it's been solid. Trying the new driver shortly..

    Possible Scam?

    I'd sooner stick my dick in a blender than trust that sale. Is this an offer you received here? Who's the "trader."

    [DEAD] LG UltraGear 27" OLED 1440P @ 240Hz for $675 @ Best Buy after recycling any monitor

    Well this is [H], right? Yep, as always do your own research on the strengths and weaknesses of whatever hardware you're considering and how it fits into your use case and budget. E.g. in my case, a $1600+ GPU is likely just as inconceivable for my use case as a $600+ 1440P OLED is to you. Jump...

    [DEAD] LG UltraGear 27" OLED 1440P @ 240Hz for $675 @ Best Buy after recycling any monitor

    Yep, because OLED. IMO, it feels like the first time I switched from a TN panel to IPS panel in the early 2000s in terms of picture quality. It's no wonder 13 out of the top 15 reviewed gaming monitors at RTINGS.com are OLED/QD-OLED.

    An Important Update about Riot’s Future

    A friend and former SEGA employee said there was a giant hiring spree at his studio during COVID-19 lockdowns when there was a boom in demand for video games. Well that wasn't sustainable and the chickens have come home to roost. His unit has laid off approximately 15-20% of its workforce...

    GeForce RTX 4070 Super reviews

    Agreed that at $600 and up I expect at least 16GB of VRAM, but that shortcoming doesn't seem to be holding it back (yet?). In Techspot/HUB's 4K tests, its spot in the rankings vs 1080P and 1440P is virtually unchanged.

    6600 xt performing like old rx 580

    That's per lane. Not sure why CPUZ is reporting PCIe 4.0 on that board, it only supports PCIe 3.0 as far as I can tell. But the link speed it's reporting matches PCIe 3.0's specs. I think the problem is elsewhere.
