From what I've read, the DLSS implementation in Jedi Survivor was somehow horribly botched by the developer, as well. To the point where the mod might be better? lol Crappy implementations are always going to happen for any tech. It's kind of funny you mention that, because I'm using FSR in...

I think right now it's fine because Nvidia's pricing is so bad on the budget parts. But give them a couple of years of development and pouring even more of their budget into DLSS... I'm worried that they're going to be able to take the budget market without much of a fight. Then again, you've...

This was my understanding as well. Ray Tracing seems to be the way of the future because it's much less intensive to implement for the developer, as I understand it. We can sort of also view AI image processing as the next effective evolution of the GPU space in general, rather than continuing...

Those are good examples. I didn't think of that, likely because I don't really use those AI features very much. Well, and I don't have a Mac product (although I have used an iPhone for quite some time in the past). Although I don't know about real time language translation. I think that's mostly...

Yeah, I have a Logitech gaming mouse with AAs at the moment. I just don't like the shape of it, so I'm trying to find other gaming mice that use AA batteries, because the rechargeable, integrated battery mice basically don't last long at all. I guess the opening post runs on a bit long, but I...

Oh both of those were laptop parts, including the last topic. I guess I misread what rick said in the last topic and thought this was a desktop variant. Well, I guess it's nice if you want to do some (very basic) stable diffusion on the go... Otherwise I'm not sure why they're so hyperfocused...

That thing looks pretty massive, unless that's a really blown up picture. Wonder how the heat will be and what sort of heatsink shape you'll need to cool it with. Also a little confused as to why Intel feels the need to go hard into NPUs on the desktop market. I guess that's mostly going to be a...

Unfortunately haven't found many AA (or AAA) battery wireless gaming mice. There are just a handful, but most of them are rechargeable. I find it funny that I can get a wireless headset (which has to have an amplifier, dac, etc all running off the same power source) that runs for 80-100+ hours...

Yeah, but what I'm confused about is "The demo focused on the generative AI capabilities of Intel's third generation NPU". An NPU is specifically a machine learning accelerator, afaik. It's not the CPU portion. I'm not aware of how recent gen intel chips are, but do they include the NPU bundled...

I didn't know Taylor Swift was a genre... Anyway, creating an image that small could be done pretty quickly on ages old cards, so it's not terribly impressive. Pretty sure they just picked a seed that looked good and just generated it. Definition of NPU says it's specifically a machine learning...

This is all that really matters to most people. Stock to stock, it outperforms the other highest binned over the top card (yeah I know... big whoop). For OC performance, it's probably also guaranteed to achieve the overclock performance that you see on that chart. The Strix might be like what...

Buildzoid makes like $1400 a month from his Patreon. He sure as heck is not going to be spending 3 months worth of Patreon on this. Maybe one of his fans will take detailed pictures of both sides and then send it to him. If any of you are collectors, this is basically where the GPU makers and...

I don't know. The same way that every topic that mentions the pitfalls of one brand just turns into a shitting fest between "Red vs Green"? You get one rare "win" for AMD, you get AMD users gloating and shoving it down the throats of Nvidia users while defending it with essays and strawman...

Last I checked, the 7900 XTX in any RT game is basically on the level of the 3090. Which the 4090 basically surpasses by roughly 1.5-2x (and the 4080 consistently surpasses as well, trivially). Although it's interesting how the more budget AMD boards compare to Nvidia budget boards, I guess? But...

I went to sleep and I woke up, and I'm kind of not starting off my morning with debating about Starfield and Nvidia on an essay vs essay basis. You folks win by attrition on that front. I've seen other topics and you basically never stop posting. On the other hand: RTX 1080? That doesn't...

If your point is that Bethesda's modding ecosystem and toolkit is part of what keeps them chained to their antiquated engine... well that may be a good point. Bethesda games pretty much survive on their modders. Without modding, they're usually pretty crappy and disappointing to put it mildly...

I like how you completely ignored the rest of the post. Don't worry, I wasn't ever taking you seriously to begin with nor do I give a flying fuck about your opinions. Blocked.

I think the key qualifier you're missing is "held together with bubble gum and has duct taped on features". Other engines clearly have more and better development, because most games using them have better performance while offering better graphics, and often worlds that are just as big if not...

Old benchmarks for Hogwarts Legacy had the 4090 giving more FPS than the 7900XTX even without ray tracing on, at 4k and ultra settings. https://www.techspot.com/review/2627-hogwarts-legacy-benchmark/ With Ray Tracing, the result is rather obvious so I will not bore you with that. One thing that...

After playing Starfield, I see very little to no reason why it is so demanding given its graphics level. As I understand it, it is also running on an incredibly old engine. In basically every other recent game that is actually using current standards, the 4090 easily outstrips the 7900 XTX and...

If the manufacturer is Hynix, you could just use this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831 I tried it on my open box Hynix M die dual rank kit (2x32) yesterday (although I left the voltage at 1.39 just in case since it's dual rank), and (knock on wood) haven't had any...

Actually someone in a thread gave the tipoff that you can look at motherboard RAM support lists and it would give you the type of die you're working with. I looked up DDR5 32GB Corsair on here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10/support#support-memsup Is this what...

I have no idea about the last question, but your CPU-Z doesn't have anything here? You can Google around for your RAM model and maker, sometimes there are random forum threads in the know where you can basically scan the model number and get which die you have. For instance, here is where I...

I think when I was running memtest86, the maximum ram temperature that I saw on these sticks was about 43C? Or 41? I didn't record it. That is with the voltage at 1.4, and I think I'm going to lower that. Not really, no. I've had my computer up for multiple months straight before without any...

I have had 64GB non-ECC across multiple systems for multiple years now. I run some of my computers 24/7. I have never had any issues or data corruption that I know of. When exactly is this sort of thing likely to occur?

Yeah, but I think that's kind of the beauty of Ray Tracing to begin with, correct me if I'm wrong. It's that it takes much less effort for developers to add ray tracing to a game vs all of the standard tricks they have to employ for rasterization. If having to spend less time on doing all of...

Did you have to dial all of the settings in manually, or could you work off of the existing XMP/EXPO profile and just tweak the voltage alone? It's kind of funny that GSkill just decided to set the default voltage on these to 1.4, for EXPO profile... it's kind of just a handwave "we don't really...

No I have not; admittedly I usually just open up Open Hardware Monitor and call it a day. It's never given me strange readings when on any other platform, but I guess there's just something odd about AM5. Was not aware that HWMonitor had issues, too. I guess I'll try downloading HWInfo when I...

Starfield is questionable (although I think relevant; it's probably not going to be the last game that runs like that), but I think Hogwarts Legacy might be a better indication of future games. It has probably the best looking Raytracing implementation I've seen (as in, I instantly noticed it...

With regards to thermal paste, what I do with my CPUs these days is I just literally spread it out with my finger. I put a blob on and manually make sure that every portion has a nice even coat. I think that may also help with these CPUs considering they have an odd shape, though I kind of doubt...

I decided to reduce mine to 1.25. I haven't had any stability at all whatsoever, so I would suggest doing it. The BIOS option should be pretty straightforward. Should literally be called SOC, just have to dig it out of the right submenu. You set it to "AMD Overclocking" instead of "Auto" and...

Your post is largely constructive, and I want to say I appreciate that. What I'm going to respond with is largely negative, but the tone isn't directed at you. With that out of the way: I don't know of any real player skill that factors into space combat. Like I literally don't get any time to...

I think on my 3080 Ti the settings were mostly on Ultra and with FSR on. The resolution scaling was only 75%. Still, game runs pretty smoothly. I only get below 60 FPS in some Atlantis areas (or oddly on the tutorial ship). Other than that it's usually around 70 FPS and sometimes higher. I might...

I'm pretty used to stealth being sketchy at best in Bethesda games, but in this game they took it up a notch lol. I'm enjoying myself a bit more with this game. It feels sort of like No Man's Skyrim (but it's worse than NMS in some ways), and I don't care about the stealth too much. Although I...

That's one of the things I did in Skyrim. I think that would disable achievements in this game, though. While I normally don't care about achievements, having some record of progress is kind of nice. I'm on the fence. The encumbrance systems in these games have always sucked, but it feels...

I think MSI AM4 and AM5 boards have longer boot times by default, too. I know my MSI X570S Carbon had pretty long boot times, comparatively, too. No idea why. My default XMP profile for the RAM sticks I have set it to 1.4V, so I'm assuming that should be fine... since it was default. My SOC as...

I decided to get one of these a few weeks ago, actually, because of this thread. Been working like a champ. For all of the noise complaints, I can't really hear mine over anything else in the case. It's very fast, too, for a spinner. Knock on wood, but HDDs almost never die on me. I still have...

Small photo reel of more bugs: Space ship clipping into mine while I was docked at a station lol. Sarah just deciding she's okay without a space suit now, I guess. Somehow I accidentally captured a civilian ship. While it had landed at a nearby civilian camp, I boarded it once, went up...

This is my current build (well the new parts of it anyway): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VNN29c Everything was open box except the CPU. I'm using the same motherboard and same capacity RAM, on the same BIOS. It's been working fine at its rated speeds. I just picked the XMP profile MSI had...

It depends on what you play. In some games that are out right now, especially at sub-4k resolutions, going from the 5800X3D to the 7800X3D is almost like jumping a card generation. If you're already on a 5800X3D, it's still kind of debatable. But let's look at any other AM4 CPU situation with...
