    EVGA just sent me a brand new 1300 GT PSU, should I replace my current Vetroo 1000 PSU with it?

    Well, I live in the US- It's selling for $200 new on Amazon- but of course you get the 7yr warranty with that (at this rate I highly doubt EVGA will be around even in 2yrs). I can put it on ebay I guess- Shipping will probably cost at least $25, then I will have to take money off for the...

    EVGA just sent me a brand new 1300 GT PSU, should I replace my current Vetroo 1000 PSU with it?

    My old (8yrs) EVGA 1300 G2 Gold was making all sorts of strange noises in my new 7900x/7900xtx build so I purchased a Vetroo 1000 because it got good reviews on Blurbusters and was only $110. Seems more than adequate but I think there is a tiny bit of coil whine (can’t hear it over the 7900xtx...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    I had a GTX 295 for a while. It was an odd card. I remember it being super-powerful at the time but as with any dual-gpu card it tended to be glitchy- but when it worked, it was amazing.

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    It's locked out on the HDR1000 setting which does all the automatic adjustments with Windows. Ideally that would be the way to handle it. If I set it to HDR Game mode I can turn off dimming which solves most of my issues- which I did. It's just more difficult to find the right setting. BTW-...

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    I'm am talking mostly about Freesync flicker in combination with HDR which (particularly on AMD cards) causes this strange dimming effect where the whole screen would get lighter and darker. That first article I linked to at Displayninja explains it much better than I could. Unfortunately on...

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    I think Windows Game HDR is implemented in Hogwarts because if you use the Calibration Tool on the Microsoft Store to calibrate your screen first it appears the settings filter over. It still looks washed out tho.

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    I https://www.displayninja.com/how-to-change-freesync-range-using-cru/ I wasn't using CRU correctly to adjust my Freesync range- I followed this guide to lower my range to 42 and the constant dimming pretty much stopped in Hogwarts. Now I have to figure out how to adjust HDR properly so it...

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    I’m on the latest firmware. I tried CRU to tweak a little but unfortunately the Freesync range of this display is so narrow that if I adjust it the screen will periodically “blank” out completely. I guess I’ll be upgrading my display a lot sooner than I thought. I’ll just have to make sure any...

    HDR local dimming issues with 7900xtx?

    I just started playing Hogwarts, and it's really the first game I've sat down and played on my newish 7900xtx. First thing I noticed was that there was some kind of HDR dimming issue, where the whole screen would continuously get brighter/darker/brighter/darker. I've found a few reddit posts...

    All these mods and the game hasn’t even been officially released yet. Glad I’m holding off for a while. By the time I finish Hogwarts there should be a ton of mods for it. Since it’s a single player game it’s not like I’ll be missing anything.

    Again, HDR10 is what we are talking about- and now Win11 has an auto-HDR feature which should make it even easier to implement. As I said before- Ubisoft has been doing it right since 2017. HDR10 can be implemented properly on PCs if the devs just put a little effort into it. That's fine if...

    Starfield

    We are talking about HDR10. That's it. That's the standard- any tv that supports 10+/DV/HLG supports HDR10 so that's where we start- particularly for PC gaming. The only two PC games I know of that support DV are Mass Effect Andromeda and Battlefield 1. There are no DV enabled monitors, just TVs.

    If you're speaking about gaming that's because you haven't seen it implemented properly. If you're talking about TV/Theatrical content, well, I don't know what to say. Proper HDR can make a bigger difference than resolution.

    Say what you will about Ubisoft, but their HDR implementation has been stellar since Assassin's Creed Origins back in 2017. So anyone can get it right if they put some effort into it- and clearly Bethesda did not- they didn't even place priority in getting SDR looking good.

    The more I read about the game the less desire I have to play it. I'll wait until they fix some of the major issues. At least get SDR looking right.

    Early access Fri. And AMD is saying they're not stopping Bethesda from adding it. Apparently after giving their sponsored companies money for game deals they "suggest" they add FSR support. I'm sure many games companies (particularly the smaller ones) don't want to make waves with AMD after...

    I think the codes are normal keys after being redeemed (don’t quote me though). I got a AMD code for Jedi Survivor and authorized it through their site so now I have an Origin key I haven’t redeemed. I’m tempted to try and sell it- it should work on anyone’s setup, shouldn’t it?

    Yes but they're not Starfield. You would think if FSR3 was any good they'd be shouting it from the mountaintops that Starfield supports it. I guess we'll find out next week.
