some video cards die from the driver

smoky flame
#

that should be fixed now with the latest update. At least according to Nvidia but have to see how well that holds. Nvidia's claims haven't held up well with this launch at all

stoic viper
#

Overall, I don't understand why people have this problem after paying at least $300 for a video card.

#

this is the price of the switch at launch (300 $)

smoky flame
#

new product launch can throw some issues early on that will get fixed pretty quick but yeah, some of the other stuff I find unacceptable for a company the size of Nvidia yet people will still go and buy their GPUs as if nothing is going wrong and they are the only option while getting scalped silly by retailers

#

sometimes I think people need reminding AMD and Intel do exist in the GPU market. Nvidia may be the dominant force but that shouldn't excuse them whatsoever from a terrible launch (if you could even call it that)

stoic viper
#

I will always buy a console because it has good support and is easy to fix.before the war xbox gave free gamepad in russia

#

when in 2005 the xbox consoles broke did they return the money or give a new xbox 360

#

for such a soul I will always be a fan of the console

#

In Russia, Nintendo fed free 3DS fans

#

You go to a coffee shop with your friends with a 3DS and take pictures and Nintendo pays for you

Multi frame generation is not something you would ever want to use for a competitive game

smoky flame
#

I don’t think I would enable it on any supported game

stoic viper
#

I don’t understand why AMD’s presentation made me angry. After all, I’m not planning to buy their graphics card, and I have no intention of getting a dedicated GPU right now.

I’m a fan of mobile gaming, and AMD excels in this area—their processors perform reliably even with just 5W of power consumption.

I didn’t really need the RX 9070, but I still wished for a miracle, a touch of technological magic.

#

I apologize for my aggression.

I have my eyes fixed on getting the Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT when it becomes available from March 6th though I'm leaving any idea of buying it until I've seen the reviews for that specific card. Mainly interested to see how it compares to the 7900 XTX in both raster and RT performance and if it manages to just about match it in raster and beat it in RT then it is highly likely that I'll have a new GPU after all

devout remnant
#

But then I saw some videos

#

Might get a 5070 Ti instead

#

Will wait till 6th March and see

isnt that ur problem first it was 5080 then 5090 now 9070 xt

#

lol

devout remnant

#

well the 5090 was what I wanted the most but off the back of all the issues it has I don't want to get one of those anymore. In fact, the cost of a 5090 FE here in the UK (if they ever go in stock) is £1939 and I can think of 1939 other things to spend that money on and a 5090 isn't one of them

what i think most pc's are worse than xbox series x

smoky flame
#

some will be but PC having access to the very latest hardware does mean that if you can afford it you can go beyond the specs of a console. On the AMD side of things (to match the consoles being AMD) for CPU we are now on Zen 5 and GPU RDNA 4 launches next week

for me pc is a very important thing

I sat in Construct 2 or 3 doing something

Hey I'm having some trouble hooking up my xbox 360 controller to my pc to play some games and I was wondering if anybody had any insight on this

#

I have a wireless 360 controller and a wired charger thing that has a USB on one end and on the other end it has the thing that plugs into the top of the 360 controller

#

I've read online that for a wireless controller I need the wireless adaptor or I need a whole brand new wired controller

#

My pc recognizes the controller but it doesn't actually connect it just keeps flashing

dusky wave
#

try using usb if the controller needs a firmware update

Yes. Go for the 8bitdo Controllers off Amazon for Xbox / PC with the Hall Effect Joysticks. They got Wired and Wireless versions too. Those are cheaper than official Xbox Series controllers too and they won't get Stick Drift.

Some of the models even have Rgb Lights haha. There's other 3rd party controllers that have Hall Effect Joysticks too and they are cheaper too. The latest 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller has TMR ones now.

anyone can say its fine. its even easier to say its fine if you dont have anything good to compare it to

I bought 3 times hyperx and each time it broke pretty quickly the microphone is crap I look how much it costs

Ye I admit the cost isn't very justifiable

Fortunately my alpha s has been working very well for the past 1 year

Oh

I'm thinking of buying Apple AirPods, but I'm afraid they're more harmful than a headset.

my ears and part of my head are pretty tired from hyperx

Oh

because they are quite heavy for the head

I've never had sore ears/head, just neck pain after using for a few hours

And they're not even that heavy

Unless you're using the wireless one then ye, probably could be heavier

Since I didn't know English, I can't imagine how bad Asusu is.

The war lasted more than 3 years and all this time Asus paid Russian YouTubers

so much so that I cannot describe the impudence of Russian YouTubers. Of course there is a good Russian YouTuber

#

I'm sure Nvidia can fix it, but it won't because they are monopolists, they can do everything

onyx crystal
#

im gonna say it.

It sucks that Avowed uses UE5 because it suffers from the UE5 performance issues. It sucks that in this engine is so bad that I would rather leave the upscaling off because the performance uplift is so minimal its better to throw the game with rtx on with a couple epic settings and just deal with it cuz if its gonna barely stay above 60 i woul;d rather it look good while it does it

#

no reason I cant hit 100% utilization ever but i can for damn sure struggle to hit 60 its sad

#

like I cant hate on the avowed devs because this is consistent with most ue5 titles.

stoic viper

I don't want to teach what everyone should know, because everyone should know it, but many don't know it.

#

nobody makes games with more than 120 fps and even then games with 120 fps are rare. everyone makes games with 30 fps or 60 fps. AAA company makes games for the console maximum because it is more important for them to show better graphics than fps

#

ps2 could give 120 fps, but developers did not want to make games of ps1 level for ps2 console

stoic viper
#

players play fps and developers make games

#

when Morrowind came out, few people could handle this game at more than 30 fps

#

Few people could run GTA 5 at 60 fps on maximum settings

#

rockstar did it right but for some reason if other developers do the same then they are bad they can't make a game.

#

if you don't like 60 fps then buy a video card for more than 1000 dollars

Just a story of my morning for those who care.
||So I have been playing Roblox only to play Pokémon ripoffs that eventually got shut down and yesterday I got Xbox Premium while I today realize that...
Wait, XBOX-PC HAS PALWORLD!?!?? I am a bit confused to why they don't have Fortnite on PC still BUT I NEED TO TRY OUT PALWORLD!!!
Hadn't played that because of both cost and not knowing where to get it before, now Xbox-PC is such a swift and simple launcher to get a bunch of games! 🤣🤩🤩||

pine maple
#

I hop in to the game and my character is all of a sudden freezing, I have no idea of how to play this game, didn't except it to be a mixture of Pokémon and Ark. 🤣 Oh well

they have their on launcher with a social system already

pine maple
icy orbit
#

cuz riot games is somewhat competent

#

this is epic lol

pine maple
#

The difference?

icy orbit
#

epic is incapable of doing anything

#

besides. the epic games launcher is just a glorified fortnite launcher with a store plug-in.
i dont see the problem with it not being on xbox anyway

#

but heyo

pine maple
#

Besides... I don't see why Epic Games wouldn't want to share their game over to different launchers, making the game more popular and more open.
It's on Xbox's console after all so why not the PC as well? Just to make others who aren't yet aware of Epic Games perhaps still become aware of Fortnite as they play on Xbox.

icy orbit
#

of course its on the console
same way it's on the playstation and the switch

#

they cant put a launcher on the console 🤷‍♂️

pine maple
#

Then if it's already everywhere else in Xbox's area, why not the last place as well? Just like Riot Games have taken their earnings from the Xbox-GamePass to boost Valorant's Exp by 20% not to mention unlock all agents, I just figured that Fortnite/Epic Games could get their earnings from Xbox's GamePass and have some Fortnite-boosters there as well, who knows?

icy orbit
#

fortnite doesnt do boosters

#

they havent done in like 7 years

pine maple
#

Alrighty, just seems quite stupid for the not so competent company. No matter, I have to go. I'll see you again later perhaps.

that your picture is not good because it not use DLSS. with 5070 DLSS is bad but with 5070 TI, 580 and 5090 DLLS4 is awesome

smoky flame
#

that chart is hilarious. I wonder how well those cards all stack up without the use of any form of DLSS. FSR implementation in Cyberpunk 2077 was a joke. Took far too long and for it to turn out the way it did was really disappointing but unfortunately not that surprised that there was some foul play at work with it being an Nvidia feature title - more of a tech demo if you ask me lol

solemn orbit

solemn orbit

it beats the 7900 XTX in all 3 tests in Cyberpunk 2077 - all of which I am sure no upscaling or frame generation technology is active

solemn orbit
#

they did not put DLLS on even in test

smoky flame
solemn orbit
#

DLLS is like best feature what ever happen for GPU and then they test without it

smoky flame
#

I don't mind upscaling but I'll only ever use it where games fail to maintain 60+ FPS at 4K and High graphics settings. Frame Generation on the other hand? If that takes over I'll go and take up a new hobby. Not a fan of it

#

cyberpunk 2077 ray tracing

but again without DLLS

smoky flame
#

purest way then there is no bias

solemn orbit
#

useless test

smoky flame
#

shows the raw performance and that is what AMD tend to excel in. None of this fake frames rubbish Nvidia are pushing. Remember with DLSS 4 active some games may allow up to 4x the frames with MFG active, on top of whatever preset of DLSS you use. Considering AMD only supports frame generation up to 2x (no 4x support with the 9070 series afaik) that would be an unfair and biased test. Already partly is seeing as the game used is an Nvidia feature game and they tend to heavily favour Nvidia GPUs

cinder veldt
#

From the tests ive seen despite Dlss having higher framerates FSR4 has been sizing up to having better fidelity

#

Frame Generation is very whatever, i could care less i just wish monster hunter wilds on pc wasn't centered around it

dusky wave
#

Is wilds that bad on pc? I tried the benchmark was very bad on my pc at 1080p with framegen on

Interestingly enough DLSS had poor implementation in MHW

If it was i buy on console since i probably have better perf there

cinder veldt

#

except for a few monsters itll run 60 fps smooth

dusky wave
#

The game seems to rely too much on upscaling

cinder veldt
#

Im not sure why considering Capcom knows how to make games on the ReEngine

#

(its like they made it)

dusky wave
#

I thought resident evil games were ok on re engine

cinder veldt
#

I think they did fantastic with RE7 and DMC 5

#

I never played RE8 and Monster Hunter Rise doesn't interest me so i wouldn't know how those games played

dusky wave
#

Im more interested in ac shadows than anything else rn

#

I holding off on rebirth til i played shadows

cinder veldt
#

I heard Rebirth is pretty demanding on PC atleast

#

mainly because of the RT requirements

dusky wave
#

It doesnt have RT

cinder veldt
#

strange, on the steam store it says it requires a raytracing compatible gpu to run

#

atleast its the bare minimum gpu, the 6600 or the 2060

dusky wave
#

Yeah. But settings dont show rt

cinder veldt
#

peculiar

dusky wave
#

Which is very limited not as bad as remake but not as good as other games

#

What is ur next game featherbolt?

cinder veldt
#

Im sure people will make mods to bypass the requirement like they did with Ragnorok

dusky wave
#

Though it will still be bad on those hardware

cinder veldt

im sure its different for Rebirth but i remember the 1080 ti running ragnorok at a smooth 60 fps despite being a 6 gig card

smoky flame
#

Not going for the 9070 XT. Would be a downgrade in raster performance while ray tracing performance has improved, its still too close between the 7900 XTX and 9070 XT to really consider. Only features that would then leave are AI based. FSR 4 I would expect to be supported at a later date seeing as RDNA 3 also supports AI Acceleration and the driver based AI features that I'm not really that fussed about. Is quite competitive though

exotic jacinth
#

Yeah makes sense, didn’t think there would be a good reason to move on from your current card

cinder veldt
#

9070xt would be a good choice for someone upgrading from a 30 series or 6000 series

icy orbit
icy orbit
cinder veldt
#

My 7900 gre (despite AMDs claim that the 9070 does 42% better then it) beats it in some games

icy orbit

also its worth keeping in mind that MHW is still in early beta

cinder veldt
cinder veldt
icy orbit
#

its still in beta though

fortnite was in beta for several years despite being playable

Monster Hunter Wilds is marketed as a full game, Fortnite at that time was markets as being in beta

icy orbit
#

🤷‍♂️

dusky wave
smoky flame
#

if or when FSR 4 support does come to RDNA 3 GPUs I wonder, since both the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX have more AI Accelerators if that could mean they will perform better with FSR 4 despite being 1st gen while the AI Accelerators on the 9070 series are 2nd gen. Surely 192 AI Accelerators (7900 XTX, 1st gen) won't be beaten by 128 AI Accelerators (9070 XT, 2nd gen)

cinder veldt
#

i reckon they will port it, or at the very least someone will get it ported to RDNA 3 gpus

if its open source yeah

I wouldn't have thought there was any issues with that. Gen 5 is compatible with gen 4. I'm sure since the riser is Gen 4 that is all it could run at so would be limited to Gen 4 specs

Now I believe Nvidia have given developers the tools to hide behind poorly optimizaed games when you can now use DLSS down to ultra performance preset (which btw would have a 4K display running at 720p internally before being upscaled) and up to 4x the fake frames with Multi-Frame Generation. First time I've really sounded off like this about it but this is how I really feel about it all. It also allows Nvidia to try and hide the fact that their new GPUs really aren't that much more impressive than last gen but to most "ooh, bigger numbers! time to buy!"

#

back when I was thinking about buying an RTX 5090 the idea behind it was to go so high end I wouldn't need to think about using DLSS or Frame Generation but if there are games that are going to run like crap where even it requires the use of one or both then that is simply a waste of £2000+ that I'd rather save. The issues Nvidia has had with the whole RTX 50 series are laughable as it is yet people don't seem to mind as they still buy them up as if there is no other option...

read what i said again

#

i didnt even mention sofas

solemn orbit
#

The whole point was that gaming chairs are ergonomically better for gaming than sofas.

latent gate
#

They have awful lumbar and upper back support

dusky wave
latent gate
#

They can also induce wrist hypertensions

#

And cause carpal tunnel to flare

#

Functionally a sofa depending on how you use a computer would be more ergonomic as it’s softer so it molds to your body’s natural contours while supporting them

#

Not as much at a desk but a lot better on your back. Something specific like an ergonomic office chair such as Herman Miller will be your best bet but they’re not “gaming” themed usually

smoky flame
#

also pretty expensive, unless you can find them second hand or so I've heard. I once had the bright idea to look at Herman Miller after being recommended it some time back on another server - if only they had warned me about the pricing but if the quality etc is there then tbh I wouldn't mind paying good money for a really good office style setup that will likely outlast multiple PC upgrades and that will continue being comfortable and supportive

latent gate
#

They’re very rugged as well. Last a long time. Excellent chairs but yes. Very expensive. Ergonomics are always costly

smoky flame
#

I might even look to get one of those seeing as I won't be upgrading my GPU this time around. Put that money into something other than a silly PC upgrade. Probably never going to get a better chance of doing that and owning one of those chairs than now, lol

#

Herman Miller Aeron and a new desk for less than £2000 vs an RTX 5090. Comfort vs fire hazard 😄

Like 500 or 600?

smoky flame
#

saw the Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT going for £569.99 on one retailer's site here in the UK. That is one of the models expected to see a rise later

#

pretty sure most 5070 Ti on the same site were in the region of £900

dusky wave
#

Thats not a bad price for a mid range card

#

I wonder if ddr7 of 5070 ti make it worse or better than 9070 xt ddr6 vram

smoky flame
#

I think it helps somewhat idk but as both have 16GB on the VRAM both should be capable 1440p and 4K gaming GPUs

icy orbit
#

AMD doesnt add more VRAM to necessarily give you a better longer experience

#

GDDR6X is exclusive to NVIDIA and theyre not using GDRR7. AMD is putting more VRAM into their cards for bandwidth purposes

#

although they are still both perfectly capable of 1440p and 4K gaming. theyre pretty well performing in raster

cinder veldt
#

in most 4k scenarios the 9070 beat the 5070 and the 9070xt beat the 5070 ti

cinder veldt
#

i think its still an issue

smoky flame
#

people with early batches may still have to check their GPU's ROPS count but no, Nvidia claimed that should be fixed now

cinder veldt
#

its more of a "no one can get it fixed because there are no cards lmao"

smoky flame
#

seems there may even be more issues afoot

dusky wave
#

So true. Hopefully no connection/gpu burnout lol

cinder veldt
dusky wave
#

Yep

cinder veldt
#

i loke how this time its because of the connectors forcing an unreasonable amount of power through one pin

dusky wave
#

It should be dual pin then so the loadout could spread out no burnout in that case

smoky flame
#

what I was referencing with my last message

image0.png
cinder veldt
cinder veldt
#

but its still strange board manufacturers are choosing to put the 16 pin power connectors on the 9070 and the 9070xt

#

not id be a problem because 300 watts isn't that outrageous compared to the 5090s 575

dusky wave
#

U probably need a 1000 watt psu for a 5090

#

850w psu should be able to handle 9070xt and 9070 base

smoky flame
#

With the power spikes on reviewer saw on the 5090 I’m definitely not sure 1000W is enough. Igors Lab recorded over 900W of a spike

icy orbit
#

of course 1000w is enough

#

even lower is fine

pliant bison
#

Who have xbox gamepass

icy orbit
#

you just need to make sure youre buying actually good PSUs that are designed to properly and safely deal with the transients

smoky flame
#

How good are we talking? I guess as the article seems to be pointing out one with recent specs like ATX 3.1 would be ideal?

icy orbit
#

ATX 3.1 doesnt say enough about the PSU to make any conclusions but honestly it just has to be decent

#

something like the A-GL should be fine

#

anything better is.. well, better

smoky flame
#

I’m surprised as I thought those spikes were a major issue

icy orbit
#

yesnt

#

put a 5090 on with a bad psu then yeah itll probably definitely fail

#

but if you have a 5090 you probably dont have a bad psu

smoky flame
#

I was under the impression I wouldn’t even be safe with a 1200W power supply for a 5090 lol

dusky wave
smoky flame
#

still not touching that GPU

cinder veldt
#

the sad part about the 5090 is that the founders atleast has potential to be one of the best itx gpus

icy orbit
pliant bison
smoky flame
icy orbit
#

well, not entirely. i left it a bit vague but using some 500w power supply regardless of quality will probably trip.
but yeah, if its a decent 750-850 or something you basically have no worries

dusky wave
cinder veldt
#

i thought my 750 gold corsair would trip my 7900 gre, i was very wrong

#

or the other way around

dusky wave
#

I used a 850w psu with my 6800xt and 5600 cpu

icy orbit
dusky wave
#

I think i have q gf1 thermaltake

icy orbit
#

must be an exceptionally bad unit

cinder veldt
#

If i ever build another driver pc im putting my shmeckles into seasonic psus

icy orbit
#

seasonic has bad power supplies

cinder veldt
#

so does gigabyte

smoky flame
#

I later went a bit OTT with power supply choice and went for SeaSonic’s TX-850. I really should have tried to save some money and go for the gold or platinum version instead but ehh, what’s done is done plus it was all rather rushed at the time being so close to Christmas (never buying hardware that close to Christmas ever again)

icy orbit
#

you should look at it by specific units rather than just the brand

cinder veldt
#

and evga

icy orbit
#

evga has several bad psus too

cinder veldt
#

So ill simply get the good seasonic psu
simple as

icy orbit
#

do you know how to identify the good ones though

cinder veldt
icy orbit
#

lolok

cinder veldt
#

I also will just search a power supply and put "failure" and find one without any complaints

smoky flame
#

I’d be curious to know how to identify the good power supplies from the bad for future reference

dusky wave
#

I wonder if the psu tier list still any good

cinder veldt
smoky flame
#

Good shouldn’t always mean having to spend stupid money like everything is turning out these days on the PC hardware front 😦

icy orbit
#

no

#

good psus are currently like 80 dollars

icy orbit
#

despite being one of the more "mid" ATX 3.0 units produced the A-GL is actually one of the better PSUs in terms of protecting your components
https://imgur.com/a/WagaEig

#

A-GL is stupid loud though

smoky flame
#

Interesting, never thought I’d see NZXT components listed near the top in charts lol (looking at the C850 and C1000)

icy orbit
#

probably because NZXT doesnt design or produce them LOL

#

but yeah a lot of their PSUs are good

smoky flame
#

Good point there lol but I thought Seasonic were a quality brand

icy orbit
#

you shouldnt really be looking at things just on the brand itself
seasonic is probably one of the better manufacturers but that doesnt mean they dont still put out some crap

icy orbit
#

been a week or 2 now idk why

#

i mean, its an amazon listing so i imagine its a third party but heyo

cinder veldt
#

i just hope adata has better psus then ssds

smoky flame
#

yeah, my only experience with ADATA was finding out I had one of the changed sx8200pro that went unreported for some time and even reviewers were unaware so people would buy these SSDs while then running into a lottery of if they got one that reviewers reviewed or a changed one that was slower, not by much but it no longer reflected the values they may have read from the reviews

i mean, im happy to be shown sources. theyre relatively new GPUs after all and ive only seen like 2 reviews. but from what ive seen, the 5070 Ti is better in everything

the price difference is quite abysmal i agree with that but i dont think they mentioned the price at all, so i didnt think to mention it either

they just stated that " in many ways the RTX 5070 TI is worse than the RX 9070 XT"

Hi, do you know a way to let the Microsoft Store/PC Game Pass cloud saves act in a sane way?
I was trying to use a previous save of Nine Sols to get some achievements, at first it worked since it noticed the conflict and I've asked to upload the older save. After that it has gone crazy and doesn't want to let me use any other save, either older or newer, it just download the one in the cloud no matter what, it's completely broken...

those are all my personal backups, it just refuse to check the dates, the whole system is pure nonsense :/
Only with one specific save from last month it realize the dates difference, other don't. I've even compared the files and the structure is the same, I have no idea what type of system they use to check the difference but it's horrible, I'm here by almost two hours trying to use my last save but nothing, I'm held hostage by this silly cloud saves.

in interesting news the 9070xt has outpaced 5080 preformance via undervolting

#

im not sure how undervolting allowing for cooler temps and higher clock speeds is more effective then just saying "run at this clock speed and at this voltage" but hey, pretty cool

smoky flame
#

with AMD undervolting has pretty much become the new overclocking. I don't understand how it is giving better clocks either as when most say undervolt that means lowering the voltage so one would likely think doing so would result in lowered clock speeds too and ultimately less performance than stock but nope

#

been a while since I messed around with undervolting but I hear the 7900 XTX can benefit from it nicely too so perhaps it is something I should be tapping into right now

CPU and GPU overclocking is fun and easy, mostly.

exotic jacinth

I'm surprisingly the opposite as of late. I would rather have a system that is stock as it should work great out the box but currently I only have RAM overclocked using DOCP (ASUS naming for RAM OC since kit I bought doesn't support AMD EXPO) with my 9800X3D. Everything else is stock

cinder veldt
smoky flame
#

Zen 3 and 3D V Cache was imo AMD's turning point

exotic jacinth

Sandy bridge processors in particular you could overclock pretty well. 2600K could perform more like a 6700K with an OC.

Hello, I have an issue: I purchased an Xbox Elite 2 controller and installed its update. However, after that, when trying to use the controller without a cable (via Bluetooth or the Xbox wireless adapter), the controller turns off automatically in less than 20 seconds. Because of this, the controller does not appear in the Bluetooth list. When I reverted to an older firmware version, there were no issues except that the controller does not connect automatically, and I have to manually connect it every time I want to use it.

if we're talking going beyond stock spec the 5080 is said to be pretty good at that too so while a 9070 XT undervolted or whatever can creep up to a 5080 factor in those same conditions and the 5080 pulls ahead again but we're talking a $999+ GPU vs a $599+ GPU here. The fact you can even mention a 9070 XT beside the 5080 with the fact the latter is likely to cost 2x or greater kind of makes for grim reading on Nvidia's part if you ask me. Just imagine had dual GPU still been a thing. You could buy 2x 9070 XT for the price of one 5080 and that configuration would blow it away. Nvidia's real lucky multi GPU never really took off

yep, that is what I'm getting at to keep things fair. I can't wait to see what AMD do next with UDNA. Sure hope they return to making flagship GPUs again as things could be about to get real spicy between AMD and Nvidia

#

wasnt one of the main complaints on the 5090/80 is the poor overclock potentials

#

besides we would have to wait for more people to test that because the total amount of owners of tbe 5080 and 5090 = to like 12

smoky flame
#

4080/Super vs 5080 there wasn't much of an improvement with stock performance. Haven't heard much about OC stuff as I don't really bother with that. Would rather run the hardware as it was intended to be run out of the box for what should be maximum stability and minimal issues

#

techpowerup and kitguru have tested it already theyre quite reliable

#

also pretty interesting considering these cards are already being pushed to their limit in terms of power consumption

#

and also self melting because power adapters go brr

9070 xt is great card at msrp, but msrp is probably gone forever

I don't trust that 12vhpwr connector. For as long as Nvidia continue to use it I won't touch their GPUs. I don't want an expensive paperweight or to have to deal with the faffing around of an RMA on an artificially price inflated GPU. Same goes for the two models of 9070 XT that also use that connector (ASRock Taichi and Sapphire Nitro+)

cinder veldt
#

I give Asrock and Sapphire leeway considering the 9070xt, and by extension asrocks 7900xtx, dont use nearly as much power as the 4090 or 5090

smoky flame
#

Still not trusting it. Even when there are no reports of melting connectors on the 9070 XT side I'm still going to play it safe

full flint
#

plenty of 9070 XT with 8 pins

#

Fair enough, i remember hearing it is optional but id have to look into that because im not sure

full flint
smoky flame
#

yeah, still considering whether or not to go for a 9070 XT as I currently have a 7900 XTX. Whole thing has been going around and around in my head ever since the 9070 XT reviews went live and I hate that I still can't come to a clear decision

cinder veldt
#

i wouldnt go for it imo

#

if raytracing and fsr 4 is that important then i would do it but i wouldn't otherwise

full flint
#

fsr 4 is great but game support is not, keep that in mind

smoky flame
#

even though there is some performance loss and quite a hefty loss in VRAM I want the 9070 XT for the improved ray tracing performance and FSR 4 support seeing as that may not come to RDNA 3 GPUs

WoW has support for AMD?

according to steamdb there are 2720 dlss games and 303 fsr games

while all dlss 2.0+ games can be upgraded to dlss4 which is probably 99.9% of them, only fsr 3.1 games can be upgraded to fsr4 which is the minority of fsr games

# full flint according to steamdb there are 2720 dlss games and 303 fsr games while all dlss...

its also up to the devs to add support for FSR 3.1 so that FSR 4 can shine but something is amiss there as AMD claimed implementing FSR 3+ was meant to be really straight forward if a game also supported DLSS 3.X yet it isn't being widely supported clearly with figures like that and in cases I know FSR's implementation takes way too long and looks rubbish when it is finally added. Looking at Cyberpunk 2077 for instance, still furious with that game for how FSR 3 support was when it was finally added about a year after it was announced. Was even announced that developement for Cyberpunk was done last year and the devs still managed to magic a DLSS 4 update out just fine from somewhere for RTX 50 series launch...

# stoic viper I don't care, I'll buy green ones, if I have money, of course.

the main problem of rx 9070 xt as i understand it is tracing.I don't know exactly how good it is there but I know FSR 4 is almost at the level of DLLS 4.And another problem is that it is unknown what the px9060 will be.If it will be better than rtx 5060 then it can be a victory and another problem is there are no notebooks with amd video card

#

these are three reasons why i won't buy amd video cards

cinder veldt
#

AMD putting a seperate gpu in a laptop is pretty pointless considering their recent APUS rival the 4070

ruby spear
#

Yes they do.

stoic viper
#

I was thinking about something else,

#

I thought you were talking about connecting an AMD video card (not a laptop video card) to a laptop.

#

AMD is doing so badly with mobile graphics cards that I forgot they made mobile graphics cards recently.

#

and then it’s clear

#

but I haven't seen anything like this in the world of laptops. the most AMD has is integrated graphics at the level of the RTX 4060m and even then it's weaker and even then it eats up a lot of energy

#

Apple Shows More Interesting Graphics Integration in Laptops

#

if a person wants to play he will take nvidia if he wants anything but to play then apple. AMD graphics are not particularly surprising in the world of laptops

#

I don't want to offend the AMD fans. I want them to come into the laptop world normally.Well, it's a little funny that I said that many good gaming laptops have AMD processors. I hope everyone understands that I want there to be competition in graphics in the laptop world.

I like Windows 11 it's a little better than Windows 10

yes it has some drawbacks like if you remove the background the background may lag and windows 11 is not very well adapted for tablets.

Windows 11 is like Windows 10 but slightly better.I also thought six months ago that Windows 10 was better, but when I tried it I really liked it
