Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

SSycraft replied to the thread RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR.You'd need new, incompatible, PSUs. With any new 12v standard, adapters are a thing. You can make one cable format work with another. Sure eventually you end up not being able to do that, you aren't getting old school 4-pin Molex to 12vhpwr...

SSycraft replied to the thread RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR.That does seem to be an issue for the "just do separate pin loads!" crowd. The way a modern card works, I can't think how that would be done without more expensive hardware. There's no way to evenly divide the component load across pins...

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.Fair, then obviously not something you'll be messing with at the moment, which really isn't a bad thing since it is the early days and if this sticks around, which I imagine it will, it'll improve. Id' just say don't judge it too much until...

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.I mean, have you run it on your system? There's quite a bit that isn't apparent in Youtube compressed videos. Also there's a lot LOT out there of people cranking it up to the max which is not really showing it in the best light.

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.I'm fussy these days and even 60 feels kinda choppy to me so I'll turn on FG (if it works well with the game). Basically if the game runs at under about 120 rendered FPS I'll turn on FG, if I can. However I will say, depending on the game, I find...

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.From that video ya, at this point it is basically a high-end only technology. Feels a little like ray tracing when it first came out and you could only really use it on very high end 20 series cards and even then fairly slow. However it may find...
-
SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.Good to hear though not hugely surprising. Once modders showed it worked on the 40 series basically the same as the 50 series, they really couldn't just refuse. Hopefully the "performance tuning" does some lifting though I wonder how far they...

SSycraft replied to the thread RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR.In his case, I'm inclined to say neither. I'm inclined to say there's a defect in the power cord, or the PSU connector. He said he's used the 5090 before for testing so it is presumably ok. Only 2 wires sending current indicates something pretty...

SSycraft replied to the thread Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe.This is part of why I'm inclined to generally buy monitors and TVs from Best Buy. Shippers just do not treat them well.

SSycraft replied to the thread FSR4 support in most games.Negligible compared to the current RR, which already had a massive hit on older cards.

SSycraft replied to the thread New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer.Even in places where their hand should be forced they ignore it. Around here, Cox is offering 2gbps basically everywhere, and they've offered 1gbps for a long time. They upgraded to DOCSIS 3.1 quite some time ago, and more recently added DOCSIS...

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.So tinfoil nuttery that has nothing to do with DLSS. Got it.

SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.How is better technology a "nail in the coffin" for gaming? God people can be melodramatic.
-
SSycraft replied to the thread DLSS 5 - Generative AI.So that appears to not be accurate. I've tested DLSS 5 on Satisfactory and it looks like upscaling is working fine. I think what people are talking about is that DLSS 5 is applied AFTER the upscaling. So whatever scaling factor you have for...
-
SSycraft replied to the thread New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer.I do wonder how good the backup is on the towers though. A modern cell tower draws a lot more power than you'd think. Like 10kW+. So if it is batteries, it is only going to be enough for a short outage, it would need a generator for anything...

SSycraft replied to the thread New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer.Wouldn't surprise me if it is the same as you see in the US: Phone companies wanting to discontinue analog service... but not actually upgrade their shitty infrastructure and then want you to buy slow ass DSL and get VoIP over that. I wish...
