X3D CPU and dont look back. Racing games is where the X3D chips really shine. DDR5-6000 is the sweet spot. You will get a new life in those games and also in VR games. I think you will feel a massive difference, even though you keep the 1080 TI. The CPU will give you the base framerate you need...

Raytracing has never been a "must have" feature for me. Not worth the performance hit. But, I must admit that in this game (and only a few others), it might be worth turning on despite performance hit. Ubisoft did a good job here not overdoing it too much and making it add to the game in a...

Normally, I have had no issues with any brand 2.1 HDMI cables when it comes to picture. However, there is a problem with some cables when it comes to shielding. When connected, you can get issues with EMI disturbing bluetooth connection. You can fix this a bit afterwards by using ferrite...

There is one. Note: This is not a complete list of games supported by OptiScaler. https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List

I think that was a wise choice. Even the 5070 with its 12GB memory is a poor choice for mid to high tier GPU in 2025, considering 16GB is a hard lock even for texture packages in a new popular game like Monster Hunter wilds...

If you hate noise, you are in for a treat! I use quiet bios and even on full load with 3d mark stress tests with 20 loops times 2, this thing stay quiet. It replaced an Asus Rog Strix 2080 TI, which I bought because of low noise and also used quiet bios on. It was the most quiet of the 2080 TIs...

LOL! :LOL: Maybe a bit rubbing it in, but I got myself a RX 9070 XT yesterday ... Didn´t get it tested before today, but seems like a very solid card (ASUS Prime model, same price as they had at launch, but a little bit over MRSP in my country). :)

Probably a detection issue: Workaround: https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List

Yeah, need that pesky memory for some models, so XTX might be good there. But there are many that can be run within 16gb I saw, so it would be interesting to hear how the 9070 cards perform in this with their enhanced AI capabilities. Can probably make much more fun things then cat pictures...

I see that AMD have a new page on AI for their hardware, profiling 9070 series on top. Did anyone try Amuse 2 with the new RX 9070s? Looked like an easy way to try out stable diffusion with models from HuggingFace.com. https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-ai.html...

Probably. Depends on when, but you might be able to force it already: OptiScaler

If that was surface temps, I would be worried, but if its tjunction, its pretty low. GDDR6 runs comfortably around 95C with a tj max at 105C. :) Unless I am missing something here, 80C should be VERY comfortable memory temps!

Bazzite is my favorite distro. I have had a HTPC/gaming PC connected to TV for a decade or more. Been on and off Linux since old Mandrake/Mandriva, but for HTPC, I have used primarily windows. A few years ago, I installed ChimeraOS, using HTPC as console PC. Since I have used Nvidia for many...

That is factually wrong. In best case, your CPU did not show you any errors in given tasks that you can suspect is caused by degradation. You did no observation of the degradation itself. Even more, besides being factual wrong, that statement does not contribute anything but muddy the issue. I...

Yes you do if you are to make claim your CPU have no degradation. The others observe a point of failure and it points to a degradation to be the cause of that failure. That is a whole different chapter. Even here, the CPU have been stable for many and only unstable during certain tasks like UE5...

Moving the goalpost much? My claim is that you cannot claim that you have no degradation or no extra degradation due to overclock without any specialized tools to observe that. And I dont claim electron migration can be a problem during the lifespan of a CPU without specialized tools. That is...

A bit simplified, but this we can agree upon. Temps and current needs especially to be in check to avoid problems from electron migration. Outside edge cases, it should not be a problem during the lifetime of the CPU if run within acceptable limits. But my point still stands. You cannot state...

Yes you do. "Observable degradation" without any tools to do the observation of what degrades are words you should not utter. You cannot look at a CPU from the outside and state that you have "observed" there has been no degradation like electron migration or oxide breakdown inside the CPU. You...

I hear that. Not been much of a laptop gamer myself, but was surprised by a work/gaming combo midrange laptop I bought. 16" 240hz IPS gsync screen with 500nits+, I7-13700HX/RTX 4070 gpu (Lenovo Legion Pro 5i). A bit noisy in performance profile, but I could comfortably game 60hz+ on the...

How do you know? CPUs degrade over time regardless of OC or not. You need pretty specialized equipment if to measure additional degradation done by OC. Did you do that? Or are you simply saying you did not have a chip fail due to OC while you might have degraded it more then without OC?

I dont believe this is the issue here. Nothing to suggest there is something wrong with the design of those CPUs that make them fail at shader compilation. People run them without any issues. Those that had issues, had increasing failure rate and some that RMAd their CPU saw those issues go away...

I would follow their advice. Performance degradation on CPU is common due to electron migration (any overclocker site have had those discussions when it comes to OC and how long the CPU can last), which many suspect this is. You have a CPU that has been pushed hard from Intel, then pushed even...

Then perhaps you also use CPL rarely to begin with, yes? I can understand that. I have also resorted to third party tools, because the old CPL is too much of a chore to be useful. The new one seems to give more reason to actually be used, instead of avoided unless you are forced to use it. I for...

This ^ . The old CPL have been shitty for decades when it comes to configure games. The more games you have installed, the more pain it becomes to find the game you want to tweak and use it. Some might disagree, but I think for most people out there, the 3d settings part of CPL is the one people...

I would still consider 4070 super. Your powersupply is only 320W. GPUs in classes over that have spikes that can trigger your PSU. Even though the 7900 XTX actually gives you higher frames per watt, that GPU also have 20ms spikes up to 391W. The 4070 Super have 239W and on this chart the 4070 TI...

I second that. It sips power compared to other CPUs with similar performance. In addition, when you start capping games, reducing settings, using upscalers and also old games where GPU is more then enough, it have given me more boost in smoothness then many GPU upgrades I have had even with the...

I look forward trying it out this weekend! I hate the old Nvidia control panel to the point I avoid using it unless I have to. About time they made it more streamlined and modern. Still Beta, but looks like it already have the most important features that I use.

My two cents about this is from my own experience tuning systems for image consistency and low noise, but steps are same to reduce power consumption (which is not a factor for me other then reducing noise). Take what you want from that and see what you can use for your project. :) I have two...

In the example provided by Nvidia (reflex is dynamic and adjust according to framerate, so they used 100fps/10ms only for illustration), the time spent in render queue is also 10ms, so holding frame for 7ms, then spending 3ms for CPU to ready image for render queue, means that next frame can...

I have used Nvidia for many years now due to VR. My greatest joy after getting a 6950 XT for a HTPC build (went AMD due to trying out steamOS/chimeraOS for a while) is the control panel from AMD in Win 11. It contains everything you need for general tweaks on game to game basis on the fly...

I have no idea. Was written 8 of August, so cannot be anything from current gen (7800XT and 7700XT). For the pro and compute cards, newest announced card is MI300X (announced in June I think), which is a GPU with 8 GPU cores, unlike the MI300 non-X, which have 3 GPU cores and a CPU core. He is...

Thank you for your suggestions, but my point in this thread about SteamOS and also when it comes to my personal build for a PC gaming console, is not about replacing a Windows OS with Linux in general. I think you are more arguing about benefits of replacing Windows or general PC usage on Linux...

True, but maybe try turning it on. According to the description, its supposed to help with issues getting miss streaks like you experience. :)

Oh, I know how Nvidia performs in Linux both good and bad, having used Linux on and off for a decade. I am by no means a Linux expert, but not a total newcomer either. Also how the Linux community feels about Nvidia in general. However, this is not about general Linux support from Nvidia, but...

I havent gone too much into the game mechanic of this, but its a D&D dice game. Do you have Karmic dice on or off under gameplay settings? :)

Lets just hope this doesn´t end with being partially a vendor lock porting those games, where you get less performance or features on an Nvidia card or Intel card, because it doesn´t support AMDs secret sauce for some FSR 3 features to make it viable. We dont need more of that.

Lets hope its useful enough. AMD seemed excited about it at least. And, lets hope Valve gets it into their SteamOS and gets proper Nvidia support for SteamOS soon. I tried ChimeraOS on older hardware (8700K and GTX 1080 first, then with RTX 2080 TI) for fun. Had to use Intel iGPU for Gamescope...

It will be interesting to see and a bit fun that it can be turned on almost globally. FSR did wonders for Steamdeck. Sure, there might be somethings not optimal, like with current frame generation from Nvidia, but it looked good if only to judge on the videos AMD showed on stage with it in...
