These benches may no longer be as accurate due to driver updates both on Nvidia side as well as AMD. Like to see these redone in June with more mature drivers. Nvidia just supports more professional applications overall, many using CUDA as well. Overall Nvidia just owns this market too.

Nvidia driver overhead on the CPU maybe affecting the 4090 performance in MSFS 2020. Plus settings in MSFS can really affect the performance as well so hard to compare apples to oranges. Anyways the 7900 XTX fly's through large cities rather well on ultra preset settings, I've found San...

DX11, Vulkan was a studder fest on the 3080 TI. On the 7900 XT, Vulkan was not a studder fest but was lower frame rates than DX 11, except DX 11 is all over the place. Just not the best game tech wise. As for the crashes they were frequent so probably something else is going on or Nvidia newest...

Serious Sam 4, started playing on the 3080Ti, was having fun but crash after crash and it looked kinda like crap, don't know what is up with that. Moved over to the 7900 XTX, no crashes and it looks much better. Maybe move back to FC 6 if I get bored with SS 4.

Daisy chain, upgrade one computer and they all get upgraded. AM4 was a godsend. Give them away and sometimes sell them. Also if no real use, e-waste it becomes.

Speedway which uses Mesh Shaders, comparing 23.2.2 to 23.1.2 drivers lost about 2.3% performance in the test. Insignificant but looks to be measurable.

Comparing the Driver 23.1.2 to the newest available driver 23.2.2 gives some very weird results on this benchmark. Look at the difference with Mesh Shader Off compared to On with the two drivers and the overall difference in FPS with it on. What is even more strange during the Mesh shader test...

I say this is a 3rd Gen headset. Eye tracking, foveating rendering, HDR, light weight. I wonder if Sony will open this headset up to the PC community since it is a USB C in the future? PS5 is proving to be the better console this generation. New game after New Game the PS5 is performing better...

Yep, made money with AMD stock, loosing money now with Intel stock. I am sure price will drop even further now since dividends was about the only thing holding the stock steady. Down it goes I think. Once bottom hits, Intel may be a very stock to own due to fabs being built, longer term investment.

I would add most 5800 X3D's bought were for an upgrade and not a whole new system update -> huge price difference between the 5800 X3D and a 13900K.

Exactly. RT has been used in games for a very long time with potentially more accurate lighting results. Baking/lightmaps, just takes more work for each scene and is not as dynamic. Digital Foundry's Best Game Graphics of 2022 -> Non real time RT title, Horizon Forbidden West. Imagine that...

4070 TI in my opinion is a stupid card for the price, limited in the short term. The 7900 XT which is kinda stupid is still a better overall card in my opinion for virtually the same price especially with the AIBs with better cooling over the reference going for around $850 in the states, don't...

Do what old people do, use a pad. :D

My XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX as indicated in the drivers maxes out at 463w, around 355w not OC. You should be fine. Using a Corsair 1000w Power supply.

You mean Fire Strike Ultra right?

What I've found weird is the lack of video to even the bios via HDMI (don't know if DP would be OK) even after resetting CMOS, cold boot. The 7900 XTX would not sync with the LG C2 or have an output unless the cable was unplugged and plugged back in. After the drivers loaded it now can go into...

23.2.1 WHQL drivers, rough ride on the 7900 XTX. Driver installation recommended factory reset, complied. No video output to LG C2. Reset CMOS, still no video output to the LG C2 on startup, not even for the bios. Pulling HDMI cable and plugging it back in gave a signal to the LG C2 but was...

I would like to see more of this in action, VHS quality level upsampled. I would be more interested in Netflix, Prime Video ETC. Google yeah but really not that important for me. If using Netflix with Chrome, will it upsample?

If your talking about two power supplies, it is simple, you use something like this to signal to your second power supply to turn on and power you GPU or anything else hooked up to it. https://www.newegg.com/p/2MV-002E-00030?Item=9SIA4UB6WF9799

That is true, maybe prudent to check other benchmarks as well.

I say if you see that kind of flicker -> time to RMA. I have no observable flicker, no eye strain even if putting in over 12 hours on the display. I guess some folks are indeed different and need to get what works for them. People can compare for themselves on any good display store that has a...

No, for the price it kinda sucks in my opinion. If your going with a 13700K, look at what some of the folks are releasing on YouTube with performance. In this case a 12900K which should be similar to your 13700K in performance. My opinion, if you want a place holder -> go used and not too...

Your point? I seen this thread panning out perfectly. RT is not the magic switch that magically makes a game into a heaven experience but only one aspect that can or not improve the gaming experience. After 3 generations of Nvidia Hardware there is no clear RT paradise, compromises are still in...

Why? Motion responsiveness unmatched by other tech Black levels unmatched -> gives incredible depth Incredible HDR, it is not always about brightness but dynamic range from black to white without the glow My biggest issue: Makes all my other monitors/TVs look like shit :( Maybe a little...

Move your card anywhere you want, that is if it can fit. Some already used this cable in the reviews on Amazon with a 4090 besides other pcie4 16x cards.

Solved, no performance lost https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-RX6900XT-Shielded-Connector-Compatible/dp/B08XY4KVVK/ref=asc_df_B08XY4KVVK?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79852159426050&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583451682433751&th=1

Their elite strap breaking even after a few weeks of use by many seems the opposite of indestructible. Anyways have both Vive Pro and Pro 2, fragile not, those Vive controllers have smacked into walls, ceilings, broke I don't know how many light fixtures and light bulbs, dropped and they still...

My 1TB and 2TB Samsung 980 Pro drives already had the most current firmware when bought. These drives are not even that expensive and if one automatically does back ups, at least for critical data, to whatever cloud base service provider you have or locally -> for me this is a non issue if it...

This is getting my interest, will see how the reviews go. One thing I really appreciate with Vive is the quality put into their hardware, durable, tough in general. While not perfect they seem to have well made stuff that is generally comfortable and will last.

Is Intel making any kind of money off of ARC? Maybe where their cash flow is going to. Really, how much are they loosing per card? If not, how much is AMD and Nvidia making on theirs?

Good question, 3DMark new Speed Way benchmark uses Mesh shaders and the following: Using Speed Way and comparing the two drivers, one that Mesh Shaders are working much better, 23.1.2 on the left side and the one not so good 23.1.1 -> really made no difference: Now comparing the 7900 XTX...

I think KAC is doing the prudent thing and seeing how the X3D Zen 4 does. It would be a waste of time now building a top end Intel system to find out it is second rate in the same month. Of course if one has the money, loves building stuff, have both of the best (have your cake and eat it to...

There was a concern about a possible hardware issue with Mesh Shaders with the 7900 XT/XTX due to rather poor results in 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test. With driver 23.1.1 with Mesh Shader on, it was only 11.9% faster then with it off. With 23.1.2, look at the difference between the two: AMD...

That is generally true. AMD just has nuisances that can drive you batty. XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX. First go around with latest drivers, Tuning (OCing) would not change Power Target, vRam would change except it didn't change vRam speeds, none of the Presets worked, none of the driver OC setting...

Have not seen this yet in discussion, anyways some of the settings I use on the 7900XTX Merc 310 and in general with AMD: Under Display AMD FreeSync Premium - Enabled Virtual Super Resolution - Enabled GPU Scaling - Enabled Scaling Mode - Center or Preserve aspect ratio With 42" OLED C2, I...

Still available. Lol it was this or the 7900xtx Merc, Merc won because it was available first, the Tuff now becomes available and still is at time of this post. Should I buy? Hmmmmm . . .

Just use vsync or frame rate limiter so the card is not renderings frames that cannot be displayed on the monitor in a pointless fashion. Meaning you have 100% capability when needed and lower power when not. Not limiting performance at all. Of course competitive gamers may want uncapped frame...

I've found it is really game dependent as well, some games just run well less affected by the CPU given to it. Have a 6900 XT in the 3960 rig which actually does better than the 3090 due to this. My 7900 XTX should arrive tomorrow so the 3090 will go into the 5800x rig with a Sony TV and not...

You will be limiting that 4090. 3960x here as well, it limited my 3090 with abysmal lows at 4k, 36fps drops in Farcry 6, with 5800X3D, nothing goes below 60 FPS. 2020 Flight Simulator, in San Francisco, below 40 FPS at 4K, with 5800X3D, over 60 FPS. The averages may not be as significant since...
