This is cool, reconfiguring the entire memory setup, nabbing additional performance. I wish I could use a soldering gun, but being blind in one eye and having poor depth perception has made it damn near impossible for me every time I’ve tried. Honestly though, It’d be cooler if he could do...

I used to be “old school” like that. Reinstall windows anytime I ran into issues, that is until I got into a serious relationship and got married and became a step father. Unfortunately for some—reinstalling Windows is a major undertaking, sometimes not worth the headaches. In this instance...

Sorry for the extra reply, but I paid the price full well knowing what I was getting. Yes it wasn’t cheap, yes it stung a little, but I’m happy with it. I get to experience all the goodies the AMD side couldn’t provide, with solid enough performance to last me a good three to four years. So call...

If that rationalization is getting better features then sure, you can call it that. By the time 12GB becomes not enough, the 20GB on the 7900XT is already wasted since neither of these GPU’s will be able to run the latest AAA titles when this time comes, say four to five years from now, at...

If I wasn’t so sure you’d most likely just name games that use more than 8GB as the foundation of your argument, I’d ask you to name some. In my post though I referenced a 12GB GPU, so, on that note I’ll wait while you find examples—and they can’t be games that were broken at launch and/or...

People still going on and on about VRAM... That's AMD's shtick--put more VRAM on a GPU than what's necessary, or even what the GPU could realistically handle. But for the sake of argument using the 4070Ti and 7900XT as examples, lets use this scenario: new AAA game comes out, uses advanced RT...

Considering FSR 3 works with Async Compute and Nvidia’s FG works utilizing better Optical Flow Accelerators than the 20/30 series have you can’t really use FSR3 as a gotcha thing since they require different tech. My moneys on FSR3+FG being behind Nvidia’s solution for quite some time. Kudos...

Yet the higher end GPU’s, the ones that generally see less sales remain priced the same. Does that mean more people are moving on up to the higher end and ditching the mid range? Maybe Nvidia is making enough money off of its top three GPU’s to keep them priced the same? I don’t think it has...

I hate to say this but we're "sheep." The reason why businesses don't bend to our demands is because at the end of the day none of us are truly going to vote with our wallet if we want the absolute best option; even if that option goes against our principles and beliefs. At the end of the...

I'm honestly okay with this. Temporal Upscaling has been a boon to gaming as a whole. Sure, Native is nice, I won't disagree, but when you can get 90-95% of the IQ of Native while achieving 25-30% more frames per second, what's the issue? It's the same as the argument that running High settings...

I'm sure some modders will come along and actually fix this in a "community" patch.

Or not. Star Wars Jedi Survivor getting DLSS right after AMD made their statement isn’t just mere coincidence. Either way, how does it harm AMD if a developer implements DLSS alongside FSR? Just because FSR is a catch all doesn’t give developers a valid reason to not include DLSS, it’s either...

Well, in a lot of ways it's a valid point. If people are plunking down $1000+, then buying the games in question, then $5 for access to one modders works to add something that doesn't exist in the games they may be looking to play, especially one that's high in demand, isn't an outrageous price...

I like PureDark’s approach. Yes, he’s charging $5/month, and the DRM is a one time check, so if you decide to unsubscribe you won’t lose access to that version of the mod. Anyways, what I like is having all of the mods listed with links in one place, Discord, with the ability to give real time...

Not bad, let's see how it holds up when it comes out. It'd be nice to see it come out swinging and be impactful, and hold that same consistency in every game, and not just one cherry picked game.

Now show it in motion. FSR 2 is known for it's poor handling of moving images, hence why DLSS 2 eats it's lunch. Early on when RSR was first released I loved the idea of having a built in FSR that I could use in case of emergency--I learned soon after it wasn't all that good, at least when...

Hmm, well this has me a bit concerned. My 4070Ti is the Gigabyte Gaming OC, essentially their lowest price model. Luckily it came with an anti-sag bracket, but still, any mishandling, or even just pulling the card out to install new hardware and plugging it back in multiple times might...

I watched the video and how he put emphasis on the "$500 dollars," as if it's some large chunk of money was cringe worthy. I guess if you're the average LTT viewer, there's a solid chance that $500 is a lot, so, I guess to them that would make it okay... I guess? Me personally I think $500 to QA...

I miss Fry's Electronics. :( The store here in Las Vegas opened up in the early 2000's, I was going to school for computers at the time (waste of money), and one of my professors recommended that store to us. They had a grand opening sale for a $100 PC with an AMD Duron, something like 256MB of...

What would one expect would happen to someone who bites the hand that feeds them? EVGA was first and foremost a GPU company, kept afloat with their GPU sales, which happen to all be Nvidia. They basically gave the middle finger to Nvidia, claiming this is too expensive, and instead of having...

Honestly, I don’t see the issue with MS acquiring Activision. Acti-Blizzard isnt the end-all-be-all of game studios. I seriously doubt games like Overwatch, CoD, StarCraft, WoW, or Diablo are going to become exclusives for any console, they’re too massive, and have too much of a user base for MS...

I wouldn’t go that far. Windows is still the go-to for PC gaming, and ultimately is the only platform Valve can survive on financially. That and you’d have a lot of pissed off customers if you just up and pulled the plug on supporting MS, namely those that invested thousands, if not tens of...

Nvidia didn’t chime in about the DLSS omissions, yet people were assuming Nvidia started the rumors. Just because AMD’s name isn’t name dropped in any capacity other than being one of the vendors Nvidia’s attempting to screw over according to this article. Considering your vernacular, “Nvidiot”...

Might want to look up the definitions of the words you’re using. The very nature of my post—what I said was speculative, I even said I was speculating. If I was so sure that AMD said it and I stuck to my guns—that would be a conclusion, but I’m not sure, I just emphasize that I wouldn’t be...

Much like the majority of what Nvidia’s been accused of by the AMD crowd-assumptions based in emotion. 🙂 I don’t need to defend my position considering I’m speculating, so if it’s not the truth oh well, I move on. On the other hand every AMD fanboy has come out of the woodworks to talk me...

Of course—people ignore the last few words—this is just speculation. People have accused Nvidia of manipulating the media to their benefit. Don’t think AMD is above doing the same. Oh and no coping from me. It’s me spouting what seems logical. I don’t need to cope- I know none of these...

Watch the birdie, watch the birdie! Ironic how AMD has maintained radio silence on the DLSS fiasco, even after their own supporters started questioning it. Yet now there's this story that mysteriously pops out of no where, with no basis that Nvidia's forcing their board partners to give second...

I read the article. It’s reported that reportedly Nvidia told its AIB partners, and then goes on to talk about Nvidia’s sordid past with GPP and provides zero references or or facts about their original headline. Consider Intel and Nvidia are looking at a partnership deal to produce Nvidia’s...

Not like AI can be any worse than what their human writers churn out.

More like showing they don't really care. A lot of those that are still closed can easily be replaced, and it's not like Reddit's traffic just took this huge down turn, the website is still seeing tons and tons of traffic despite these sub's being closed. At the end of the day this so-called...

The only HDD I have is a backup hard drive. SSD's have been my go-to for a lot of things, although I didn't start using SSD's for game drives until around 2008-2009 when prices came down a little. It's good to finally see that developers are starting to move away from HDD's, maybe we'll see more...

Spot on. Reddit is a cesspool of echo chambers. I frequent the PCMR, Nvidia, AMD, and Build a PC subreddits, and anytime I post something actually factual, with data to back it up, and/or give an opinion on anything that's different, no matter how small, than what others in the same thread are...

I question that myself, but I guess when HUB doesn't have broken games available to as ammunition to make an Nvidia hit piece for their contributors to salivate over while they're linking it on every known forum people just start making random posts about nothing. This is the kind of content I'd...

I don't think anyone, including myself, has ever said you don't need more than 12GB, and if they did they're idiots. At 1440p, I game perfectly fine with maxed everything, including textures, with 12GB, but when the day comes to start lowering settings, it'll most likely not be because of VRAM...

With graphics so good you can actually see the frames!

I agree. I just type a lot because I like to be detailed in my opinion. One thing I've learned from being on forums, Reddit, etc. is if you leave out minor details, even if by accident, or if you were just assuming and trying to keep it short, people will point that out and use it as a...

The problem, and yes, I was one of those "beta" testers that pre-ordered and played D3 at launch, was the game had no real end-game content. They attempted to mimic Diablo 2 in this regard, and people were burned out with it considering WoW was highly successful, and Diablo 2 was getting dated...

I gladly paid $100 for it, and have absolutely no regrets with my purchase. The time I've accumulated thus far has already validated my decision in my eyes. Kudo's to you if you're going to wait 3-4 years for that to happen, I'll enjoy the game in the mean time. :) Yet, every game you mentioned...

I wouldn't exactly call metacritic reviews "professional." lol I know they're not the same thing, but let's say Blizz decided to pull the in-game market, it would still have the same reputation for a while. Same with bad, or unoptimized games, same reputation until people are convinced its...

Yeah, the campaign is short if you go straight through it, but I think the game has something like 100+ side quests, then you have something like 110+ statues of Lillith which provide permanent buffs, 120 dungeons, and 12 fortresses, I can imagine if you aim to complete all of that I'd think...
