DSR being on would also require you setting your resolution up ingame
But I'd turn it off just in case
proven spade
setting it higher than native?
dreamy chasm
Yeah
dreamy chasm
I'm.. honestly not sure
But ffxiv isn't particularly GPU intensive? so having ingame on ultra or high and geforce stuff on defaults shouldnt really push the card hard unless you have a particularly taxing gshade preset on
proven spade
on 1080p it probably is cpu intensive
nah gshade is on default too much fps drops even idle

1 thing at a time, full screen. with some really janky 1/3 or 1/2 or 2/3 split screen options
that's mostly how people use computers: maximizing everything. because of that though, I'm amazed.... maybe even floored that ultra wide monitors caught on
like they're super popular in my company but most people who use them just have everything maximized which completely defeats the purpose unless you're using excel or something lol

sly elk
yyea i went from a cyrix 266 to a pentium 3 750 to that dual 800mhz g4

In hindsight, that was a pretty crazy stretch of technology, because the PowerPC was like 1994, and Google says the Tbird 1.1 came out in 2000
So about 6 years to go from 60mhz to 1100mhz

i had my own pc with a q6600 then later jumped to a phenom II x6 1090T BE
odd sand
The P4 to X2 to C2Q period was interesting bc it was almost lateral performance moves. Which I guess explains why I switched between them in fairly rapidly. The raw performance of the X2 3800+ was probably about the same as the P4 overclocked in single-core, but of course having that 2nd core was huge
Got meme'd into buying the 1090T huh
vestal thorn
with a 5850, changed the gpu for a 970, changed the 970 for a 3080 TI, and the phenom was forced to change it because of the instructions
and i went for a 8700k
odd sand
Although I suppose the 1090T was at least 6core not the 8cores. Those were the most oof
sly elk
i dunno
vestal thorn
the 1090T was 6 cores yes, it was really powerful tho
sly elk
the thing that made me laugh was core 2 quad was relevant as a gaming computer until like 2017 or so
maybe 2018
I knew people who were still gaming on those for a long time
vestal thorn
because it was 6 real cores, not like 4 real cores and other non-existing 4 cores like intel did
jaunty light
Yeah I didnt switch from a q6600 til the intel 4000
odd sand
Which one? Bc the Q9550 was bad already by 2012 when I built the 3770K
sly elk
Which one? Bc the Q9550 was *bad* already by 2012 when I built the 3770K
was it, though?
odd sand
I guess I had the Q9550 longer than I thought. Probably close to 3.5 to 4 years
sly elk
I coulda swore I heard of people still using quads until like the 6th gen i7
wait those were mobile
odd sand
I'm sure they were, but the IPC jump from the Q9550 to the 3770K was something silly like 75%
odd sand
Yeah, the 2nd and 3rd gen Cores were a huge leap
Then they had really mediocre IPC gains each gen after that
vestal thorn
for me everything is a huge leap, i just buy upgrades when my current system or parts doesn't keep up
odd sand
Like 10% or less for 4th+
modern iris
I used to get an i3 processor cuz I felt 4 cores was too many, and now lol ppl have like 16 cores, 32 threads, and lol. The lighting demo Lost Coast for HL2 and now we have fucking ray tracing and shit.

So the Q9550 >> 3770K was about the same IPC increase as the 3770K >> 9900K
vestal thorn
imagine having the phenom x6 1090T and the game just close because your cpu lacks the instructions, and you had to wait for the devs to put the compatibility patch

So for games that were heavily CPU-bound like World of Warcraft, the benchmarks between like a Phenom II and an equivalent Core i5/7 at the time were like ... 40% more single core performance
vestal thorn
that game was running on an engine made by the god coders or something
well
i don't think wow is a good example
people still can't put it at max
had a friend with a 4k pc that was hitting 40fps in 2k
odd sand
Sure you can. I did in BFA and Shadowlands and still got 120fps+ except in really dense areas it might dip a bit.
The issue is post-processing effects have heavily diminishing returns
vestal thorn

1ms

1ms at 240hz, 0.1ms in ULMB mode at 120hz
sly elk

ULMB helps prevent motion blur, but I think someone said it can cause artifacting maybe? No free lunch, etc.
vestal thorn
idk what is ulmb
odd sand
Ultra Low Motion Blur
odd sand
You don't, it just happens during fast motion scenes
vestal thorn
you mean in movies and such?
odd sand
I found that in TF2 I preferred playing 120hz ULMB to regular 240hz
I could "see" a lot more out of the corner of my eye that way
odd sand
Different motion blur. That is a post-processing cinematic effect. This blur is a natural downside to fast motion
modern iris
I miss the TF2 golden era.
odd sand
And I agree, I turn off motion blur in any game I play bc it's a stupid effect
jaunty light
Ya ulmb was weird whrn i had it
jaunty light
165hz so i think it had the effect of 240hz now
vestal thorn
but i have a dead pixel line from right to left at the top
it cost me less than 200€
and i bought it back in 2016
so it handled good
but i think 27" would be too much
i'm more used to 24"
but yes i'm with you in terms of fps > resolution
because we can downsample the image and have better texture filtering and better textures in some games
(ffxiv isn't one of them)
there's dents even at 4k downsampled to 1080p

vestal thorn
i mean they did meta and lost $230 billions in one night
soooooo
plus they had the only month that they lost members or people in the facebook
dreamy chasm
The loss is moreso tied to their earnings call report that states losses due to apples locking down on privacy, iirc

so that would mean that if we take into account the increase of one million people into facebook platform to make it a lost of half a million, that would mean that they lost more than a million
