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.

Totally misleading to call it a bug... pretty sure Rebar is only meant to be activated on specific titles, that Nvidia has tested. It might improve performance in some cases, but cause regressions in others.- x3sphere

Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge
Of course, but the fact remains they were already able to differentiate downloaded copies vs personal backups before. This approach worked fine and pretty much was 100% targeting the wrongdoers, but now they have taken this a step further only to lock out people wanting to make their own...- x3sphere

Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge
yeah, many stores will take it back. I would definitely return if they banned my console for playing backups of games I own. That's pretty messed up and anti-consumer behavior. Maybe not unexpected given Nintendo's recent antics but it goes too far for me. No, banning for using personal backups...- x3sphere

Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th, 2025
For what it's worth, based on what SciresM has said (Atmosphere / Switch CFW developer), it doesn't seem likely we'll see a full blown hack for Switch 2 for years - if ever. Nintendo's security model is very good and without the initial RCM hack (which was an Nvidia bug) it's unlikely Switch...- x3sphere

$2500 5090 I’m out
I don't remember it being that popular of a setup. IMO, there was no point to 2080 Ti SLI aside from bragging rights. Nvidia gave up on optimizing SLI awhile back. I believe that was the gen they officially stopped adding profiles, but the writing was the wall long before that. Most enthusiasts...- x3sphere

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 Rumored To Feature A Whopping $1,500+ MSRP, Marking A Huge Difference From The GeForce RTX 4080
Wonder what the 5090 will come in at. I’m expecting a similar price jump as even if it’s too expensive for gamers, people will buy it for AI workloads as a cheaper alternative to the workstation GPUs. I have seen plenty of people buying 4090s for that purpose so it wouldn’t surprise me. And with...- x3sphere

what to do with twin dell 30" LCDs from 2007
The resolution of those Dell 30”s was amazing for the time, I owned a 3007WFP and 3008WFP. Absolutely hated the anti glare coating they used on the panel though, it had this sparkly look to it and really hurt the clarity. Thankfully, LG switched to a much less aggressive coating in later IPS... -

Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?
I have to say even with the text issues I still prefer working on an OLED. Those blacks just make day to day use a lot more enjoyable. I don't know about longevity, that is a valid concern although so far none of my OLED displays have gotten burn in. Oldest is an LG C6 that I bought in 2016. If... -

Crysis is basically the spiritual successor to the first Far Cry. I did enjoy FC1, it was one of the best looking games around at the time, pushed my 9800 Pro to its limits.

Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?
Just fyi - in my experience Amazon isn't reliable for GPU launches, during the 3080 launch I had orders for several cards that were later cancelled. Given the listing went up early as well I would be suspect of it actually shipping (same thing happened with the 3080s). So if you really want the...- x3sphere

LG UltraWide 40WP95C-W 39.7" 21:9 Curved FreeSync 5K2K (5120 x 2160) HDR IPS @ 72 Hz
Got the monitor today and I'm very happy with it! Image quality is great and for an IPS the blacklight bleed is fairly minimal. The 75Hz seems a no-go though, despite being advertised. I'm seeing frameskipping at that refresh rate on both Windows and macOS. I will play around with the OSD... -

Are games starting to out-pace GPU development?
Seems mostly due to the addition of ray tracing in a lot of titles. If you turn that off, frame rates tend to go up dramatically. Maybe others will disagree but I honestly don't feel it's worth the perf hit in a lot of cases. That wasn't the case with games long ago, going from medium to high...- x3sphere

42" OLED MASTER THREAD
Do you have Sharpness at the default setting (10) on the LG? Since that actually overshapens the image, the neutral setting is 0. AW does not look soft to me personally but just mentioning that since it may be the reason the LG looks sharper. -

Can't understand why my 9 year old Sharp HD TV is still so much better in picture quality than my new Viewsonic 43" UHD monitor?
Another thing is that on monitors they tend to use matte anti-glare coatings while TVs usually are more glossy. More effective in blocking out reflections but this does affect the image quality a lot actually. Not that many monitors are glossy, the only recent one I can think of is the Alienware... -

Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)
It's not very noticeable to me. If you have a lot of light coming in the room it will be problematic for either display given how reflective these panels are. The AW seems to manage reflections a bit better than my C1 OLED as well. -

Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)
Not completely no. A few people on AVS have gotten the EOTF curve close to what it should be but it's still not fully accurate. With the lack of 20 point adjustment I doubt it's possible. The TV has some weird bugs that reset settings as well, one of the users trying to calibrate reported they... -

Why I don't believe in FALD
I don't see as much need for it now that OLED has been around for awhile and is relatively affordable. QD-OLED fixes a lot of shortcomings from LG's WOLED and doesn't have a crazy starting price either, so I expect it may get pretty affordable next year. Awhile back, before OLED existed at... -
