btw similar to AMD cards Nvidia also has resizeable bar support but getting it to work is a bit different to AMD, I think

@blissful shard here's my score. Maxed settings too

yay

smoky flame
#

looking at the difference in results my 6800 XT is only around 12% slower than a 3080 Ti (at least in The Division 2) not bad for a GPU that in normal times would have cost almost half of the 3080 Ti and has 4GB more VRAM
$649 6800 XT launch price
$1199 3080 Ti launch price

idk what to test next

vivid viper
#

is there support for pc?

#

because if not how do i put an fps cap on a game before i launch it?

#

it basically breaks my pc

full flint
#

u can limit fps with software like rivatuner statistics server or dxtory, and nvidia and amd have options in their control panel

vivid viper
#

thanks

smoky flame
#

just keep in mind a framerate cap might not be the best option for every game so don't go setting it globally. You can see framerate and frametime as a graph that will show how stable it all is through MSI Afterburner's OSD settings and RTSS. Ideally you want that graph to be flat I believe and if it is not try capping framerate until it is

#

and make sure vsync is disabled too. If you have a display that supports AMD's Freesync or Nvidia's G Sync you don't really need vsync. All that does is limit the FPS to the refresh rate of your monitor but in doing that adds some latency. What I mentioned above, the framerate cap with flat graph doesn't introduce latency and should instead make for a smoother gaming experience

You ever play Rimworld? Great dynamic colony sim game with a ton of stuff and a very active modding community. As for RTS, just about anything by Paradox Interactive is good. Like Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron

If you prefer more of the commanding individual units type of strategy, you could try Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2

hmm downloaded The Medium through the Xbox app (PC game pass) and unless they named it differently to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution I don't see the option to use it rooThink1

#

Do u think that amd will improve fidelityFX and make it similar to dlss

smoky flame
#

improve? yes. Make it similar to DLSS? idk about that

Nvidia and soon Intel are going to have similar solutions while AMD will be somewhat behind but I'm assuming RDNA 3 will make up for that

oh so it is the fidelityfx upsampling? I thought AMD would have preferred devs call it "AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution" in terms of a setting. If it is the same setting I'm thinking it is I believe the scaling options are also different to that of FSR's

is there a way to transfer my copy of gta5 on xbox to pc?

nope

figured out why I wasn't seeing FSR for The Medium... According to Reddit I had to force an update through the microsoft store to get it. Devs really should have been clear on this. I downloaded the game after they made the announcement it supported FSR so was kind of expecting that update would have also been applied but nope, another 10GB to install, no biggie. Thanks Reddit!

Someone offered me a trade for my 3060 for their 2070 + cash. Should I trade my new & sealed 3060 for a 2070 + £100/150? Is this a fair trade for myself and other person? My 3060 is boxed/ unopened and new

gonna replay this at 140 fps instead of 30 😄

smoky flame
#

hah, yeah. All the PS exclusives that have come to PC and that I played so far easily hit much higher framerates while maintaining higher settings

latent gate
#

Because they’re ultra fine tuned for base PS4 hardware at 30fps

smoky flame
#

yeah but what of the games that are then updated as ps4 pro enhanced and even more recent ps5 upgrade edition? the latter especially should close the gap quite a bit. If Sony and co keep this up every PC release they do will be like a definitive edition, forget enhanced or upgrades

#

still got my hopes up that we'll see God of War on PC soon and if that manages greater than 60 FPS, wow. There are a few other PS exclusives I'd like to see and at this point I don't feel is necessary to buy a Playstation console to play these games on in the event they later release on PC. The Last of Us (1 and 2), Ghost of Tsushima inFAMOUS and Uncharted (whole collection)

I'm sure prices will recover, plus there is more to it than just crypto

#

Msrp probably won't because the theory is that manufactures will charge way more because people were willing to buy at scalped prices

for a short time prices were lowering either buy now at a higher than MSRP price or wait it out and hope next gen launches and you are able to get one early on at or very close to their MSRP

something tells me this is the new norm

ikr? about to add more difficulty with these not so "SUPER" cards...

#

stock on existing 30 series GPUs is already stretched idk what Nvidia are doing to somehow improve it but it is probably going to be even more difficult to get any Nvidia GPU, should this be true. Least we might soon see more 3080 etc for sale when everyone is after one... oh wait I forgot they will probably be sold to miners first

half expecting if there is a 3080 SUPER for it to finally have 20GB VRAM and be in between the 3080 and 3080 Ti in cost. Also talk of a 3090 SUPER which is just stupid. Fully unlocked GA102 chip and slightly faster G6X memory

#

Keep that system otherwise it will overheat horribly

smoky flame
#

laptops kinda get warm regardless do they not? the whole far less area for heat to move around and airflow to assist in expelling it and whatnot. Throw in a high performance GPU and I'd think it is very difficult to expel that hot air and cooling pads would only do so much while the system throttles potentially on both the CPU and GPU front reducing performance where it may be needed most

keen bloom

I will keep the cooling pad i guess

iirc the LG C1's HDMI 2.1 ports aren't using the full 48 gbps bandwidth they have available to them, rather 41 gbps. Users will find 4K 120Hz and 10 bit is possible but DSC is required to achieve it

Hey hey, got a question. Can I use a generic bluetooth dongle and pair my controller with my PC, or do I have to use a speshul xbox brand dongle?

raven hull
#

Any generic. But xbox dongle isn’t Bluetooth, it’s xbox wireless protocol, which is less latency than Bluetooth.

pale spoke
#

I think someone here recommends the official xbox dongle

ruby spear
#

Yep, I recommend the Xbox adaptor. Much better than bluetooth.

full flint

anyone wanna be friends ?

heady tinsel

Goddamit I was hoping for a different answer

#

Might as well just buy a cable then I guess

#

Or get a refund and buy another garbage PDP controller that will break after 6 months -.-

ruby spear
#

You can use a bluetooth dongle if you need to.

heady tinsel
#

I'd rather any potential latency issues, I've been exclusively using wired controllers so far so the delay would probably be really annoying

ruby spear
#

Unless it's a really crappy adaptor, or you have loads of bluetooth devices connected at once, it shouldn't be an issue.

raven hull
#

I also recommend the xbox adapter.

But Bluetooth connection isn’t bad. I use it for cloud gaming.

#

might have found a serious issue with AMD's latest GPU driver rooScared

blissful shard
#

what issue?

smoky flame
#

there is a potential power spike with the 21.9.1 driver. MSI Afterburner is reporting as much as 395W(!!!) on a GPU (my 6800 XT Red Devil) that default with the OC bios should only be pulling 280W or around 322W if power limit is enabled and set to +15%

blissful shard
smoky flame
#

idk but I've never noticed RTSS report power draw over 280W or at least not that far off

#

only been happening since this driver seeing spikes that pass 280W and 395W happened to be the reported peak of these spikes. Going to nuke this driver and reinstall the now WHQL 21.8.2 driver and see if it does the same but I've been eyeballing this stuff quite a bit and this definitely isn't behaviour I've seen before

smoky flame
#

definitely a power spike or something going on with the 21.9.1 drivers. 21.8.2 is reporting a very stable 280W on the menu of The Division 2 as I was sure of seeing before

surreal moss
#

Driver update be like:

Grats on the card though!! Beast. 🔥

smoky flame
#

thanks 🙂
might not be an issue after all, seeing some claim AMD fixed the power draw reporting and this is what has come of it but idk. Decided to reinstall 21.9.1 driver if anything bad comes of it I'm fully blaming AMD for it. Their software and hardware should work nicely together. I get there is the occasional bug etc but power draw is something I personally would hope is being reported as accurately as software allows. 21.9.1 is the first driver I have seen where, with the exception of increasing power limit by +15%, power draw has been higher than the supposedly stock 280W my GPU and it's OC bios uses

we're talking about a company that have historically had absolutely godawful drivers

full flint
keen bloom
#

Denuvo is probably the worst thing ever created

latent gate
keen bloom
full flint
#

in almost all cases, it was later found out to be either optimization problems (aka the infamous Arkham Knight) or the DRM implementation being bad from the start (recent example, RE8)

#

while im all against drm (especially on music), denuvo gets too much hate which comes from problems made by game devs in the first place

keen bloom
#

I mean its easy to hate denuvo

smoky flame
#

just as well then I'm waiting for the game to release on PC game pass to play it. Performance issues etc should be pretty much ironed out if PC game pass users are having to wait about as long as Xbox game pass owners and the non subscribers to play it

full flint
#

yeah, seeing it's an arkane game under bugthesda, there's stuff to fix

keen bloom
#

If it gets fixed when it gets put on gamepass would the steam version will also have the fix or nah

smoky flame
#

Heard Xbox players will be waiting at least a year (Deathloop being, at this time a PlayStation timed exclusive) so plenty of time to improve the performance of the game etc

#

steam version will get updated too,a s will any other version

keen bloom
#

So do we still blame denuvo for the performance issues

smoky flame
#

not sure but Denuvo has been blamed plenty of times before for other games poor performance besides the game's poor optimization too. Could be a mix of both

latent gate
#

IdSoft aren't exactly known for having bad code

#

but denuvo is known for having bad documentation, as well as heavy resource usage for a game

keen bloom
#

denuvo feels like its more of a anti consumer thing

full flint
#

Bad documentation, yes. Resource usage, again disproven multiple times, a few by Digital Foundry

latent gate
#

resource usage doesn't have to be a constant thing

#

bad frame pacing doesn't equal a low framerate

#

but can offer similar appearances

#

denuvo causing hitching, cpu spikes, frame-time issues, these are all things that have been stated by devs that have had to work with it first hand

smoky flame
#

I don't see why devs can't just refuse to add it and release denuvo free

latent gate
#

because publishers are where the money's coming from

smoky flame
#

if it is so widely known though to cause issues. I'd say to hell with this request from the publisher and release without denuvo. Less complaints because if they release with it and publisher sees complaints about games performance "oh it's the devs fault" etc they are shouldered with the blame when it may have had absolutely nothing to do with them to start with. Publisher should take full responsibility then if Denuvo is in use

latent gate
#

it's not a request, lol

keen bloom
#

I don't think the High ups of publishers companies care about customer enjoyment

smoky flame
#

well whatever it is. I'm sure most devs that actually care about the game they develop and the players who will play it will want it performing its best from day one. Obviously there may be some issues but if something like Denuvo has to be added that is known to cause issues of its own then it clearly isn't going to be at its best on day one and that is where refunds, complaints etc that could all be avoided happen

keen bloom
#

I think deathloop is the game that now turns me off from preordering

smoky flame
#

of course they don't, Midi. All the publisher is concerned about is making back what they gave developers to make the game in the first place, preferably more. Less and it is considered a failure and publisher likely fires half the devs etc making any sequel to that game totally different later

#

pressures from higher up in the publisher end really shouldn't have to rear its ugly head to game developers. Let them create their masterpiece. You'd never rush an artist so why rush a game developer?

latent gate
#

people very much do rush artists lmao

Cores and threads are more important than clock speeds

latent gate
#

It’s about a balance of both

smoky flame
#

I still don't think cores and threads matter much for gaming on PC. Most games still seem to run fine with 4 cores and having a CPU with 8+ you might as well find the best 4 cores for these games and have those cores run the game for optimal performance. Slower cores will only bog down the game performance

back ground procces can use all the cores

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbyl4q3QFYA @smoky flame , 4 cores falls way, way behind 6 and 8 in most of the tests here, compare the 10105 to the 10600k, 10700k, 10900k here, all running at the same clock speed. hardware unboxed says 4 cores is nowhere near enough today

thing is though, going by the first test (Rainbow six siege) 4 cores is still plenty with average framerates mostly exceeding even the highest refresh rate monitor available today (360Hz) of course it is a competitive title

Valhalla looks mostly unchanged between 4-10 cores

Battlefield V's results are more what I expected if cores really mattered where you would see performance improvements that actually mean something, at least up until 8 cores though I do wonder if the result would have changed any using DirectX 12

Between the CPU upgrade (that included a CPU, cooler, motherboard, RAM and storage) I bought late last year and GPU I bought back in June I think I've spent close to £2000 which is the most I've spent on PC parts since getting into PC gaming, might even be more than I spent then too.

# full flint how does the cards work together?

from what I understand both a 3090 and 6900 XT could work together but games would have to use DirectX 12 and/or Vulkan and dev would have had to implement some multiGPU feature into their game to support such a crazy setup, which afaik most don't bother so finding these games is rare and so multiGPU whether Nvidia SLI/NVLink, AMD Crossfire or mix of both is kind of dead for gaming. I would sure like to see the results of this should it work though too

That’s why most cards below the 3090 don’t even have an SLI connector anymore

one thing I've heard though is for AMD users undervolting is still the way to go. Like see what you can achieve without lowering clock speeds and remaining stable. The result a cooler, slightly faster running GPU - slightly faster since the whole clock speed thing is based off temperatures and higher temperatures will over time lower clock speeds

in Radeon Software you would see this at the bottom of the performance tab. We might be on different driver 21.9.1/9.2 changed thing slightly but mostly everything should be intact. By the looks of it AMD are integrating Ryzen Master into Radeon Software so it is a 2 in 1 software

there are performance gains to be had in some games. Others not so much or no change but I'd say take the free performance

hi sub

i undervolted my 3080Ti, i lost 1% performance in benchmarks and instead of doing 380w it does 290w now

so i think it was a valid trade

smoky flame
#

nice, a 90w drop in power is quite a bit and only losing 1% in performance is pretty good too. Have you tried going further to see how far you can go before having to drop clock speed and voltage to keep going?

#

currently I can't get any accurate reading on my 6800 XT due to AMD messing up or a bug being presented in recent AMD drivers that has caused the GPU power consumption reading to be inaccurate. Pretty sure it has been confirmed as a bug. Hopefully fixed soon

Watching CPU and GPU stats while idle through Radeon Software sure is satisfying. More so seeing how little power is being used. Seeing less than 10W reported between both the CPU and GPU together at times yet when called upon is ready to use as much as 345W (65W 5600X and 280W 6800 XT stock) together in the right situation

sub heres another one

#

seems like they did a ton of work to magpie over the last couple months, the results seem as good as or better than native fsr in a lot of these videos, and performance is only slightly worse, so its beneficial to probably most games now

#

@smoky flame

#

that video is from the magpie devs themselves, they have one comparing magpie to native in necromunda hired gun as well, and it seems to look as good as native fsr there too

#

so the only downside it seems to have now is it doesnt work in hdr but i think they are working on that

smoky flame
#

I saw the message and for the most part I don't see much difference but the free performance is nice on both just at that framerate it isn't that good an example. Way past playable on that hardware configuration

blissful shard
#

the point isnt what framerate it runs at but they needed a game with a decent fsr implimentation built in

#

so they could compare magpie to amd fsr directly in like for like scenes, and at the end of august RE 8 was probably the best game they could have used to do that test, since its more varied visually than necromunda, and the implimentation isnt broken like avengers

smoky flame
#

might give magpie another try then if it has improved. For some reason I couldn't get it to work when I tried using it before. Might be to do with the 1440p res idk

blissful shard
#

ya i will test it some too if i can figure out how it works

smoky flame
#

could have also been some games I tried using it on. Can remember trying to get it to work on The Division 2 but I think its in game settings are all baked into the game preventing outside adjustments or something

blissful shard
#

it seems like magpie works best in conjuction with SMAA, which you can probably also inject with reshade or similar if the game doesnt use smaa natively

#

the performance difference is gonna be from injecting the smaa, at least in that resident evil comparison i think

smoky flame
#

hmm yeah, I didn't think of that

blissful shard
#

idk, seems neat, i will play with it if i find a game my 3080 ti cant run super good on its own

smoky flame
#

hah same but so far my 6800 XT seems to be holding up great at 1440p

they're entirely different genre of game

I wasn't aware if it was like Destiny,hence why I asked tbh

#

A single gun can take a long time to properly mod

latent gate
#

guns are not end-game

#

melee is

#

guns are a stop-gap to expand the player engagement

autumn sluice

pffft hahahahahaha tonkor go boom

latent gate
#

tonkor isn't going to do anything to steve

#

it may do like...0.1% damage at best

autumn sluice
#

my tonkor can one shot the big guy on earth

#

#40forma

latent gate
#

that's not that impressive. as that's not really relevant to end-game

#

and the number of forma is only just a number

#

the build matters, the forma are used to achieve that build

autumn sluice
#

my tonkor isnt my endgame gun is the point

latent gate
#

still won't touch steve

autumn sluice
#

dats it? lmao

latent gate
#

that's the beginning

#

I stopped playing warframe when I logged 17,000 hours across my accounts

#

because at that point I was just doing the same thing over and over again

#

jump in a survival, go for 5 hours, leave, repeat

#

Warframe's damage system is wholly designed where melee is the only scalable type of combat

#

the others drop off way too quickly

autumn sluice
#

i stopped after i couldnt do more to excal prime which was about 4 months ago

latent gate
#

tbh nothing more could be done to him circa 2017 lul

autumn sluice
#

imagine saying that when theres been literal reworks since 2017

latent gate
#

I stopped playing after that

#

I know what's been changed

autumn sluice
#

also the reason your having gun drop off issues is probably because u arent building for what youre fighting. theres everything from bagillion damage paris to one shot wonder boltor

latent gate
#

no. the reason the damage drops off is literally due to how the damage mechanics work lol

#

DE's had Damage3.0 in the works for how long now?

#

two of my friends that were programmers at DE have long-since left over the years since that's been announced

autumn sluice
#

i mean ok but i have no problem running circles round everything one shotting it with boltor

latent gate
#

star chart content is easy. true end game is meaningless, as it's simply self-satisfaction

#

"how far can I go with this"

autumn sluice
#

i mean after youve done everything what else is there lmao

#

some of my alliance Members, the Ten-O's left years before that and the content didn't change

#

they used to be The name in warframe endgame

autumn sluice

#

they're still the only people to ever hit every time-cap the game has

autumn sluice
#

i mean they were the first

latent gate
#

no other group has naturally reached those times

#

there's been glitches and bugs to allow others to

autumn sluice
#

no other group wants to spend the time to

latent gate
#

but that's not naturally reaching it

#

there's groups that want to

autumn sluice
#

its like having the gold medal in poo flinging. no one wants it

latent gate
#

the theorycraft community and the leaderboard community are still fairly active

#

one's a lot more necessary than others, of course.

autumn sluice
#

true but theres stuff thats kept secret from ppl so it doesnt get nerfed

#

whistles

#

theres a good reason i havent shared a few builds that have crazy interactions.

latent gate
#

eh. DE knows, they just don't change some things as quickly with others

#

because of the specific reason: "it's not widely used"

autumn sluice
#

maybe

latent gate
#

warframe's most interesting content is the story-progression at this point

#

DE needs to change the status quo with how the rest of the new content releases. all it does is add a new grind/farm without any substance

autumn sluice
#

last time i visited what they had planned sounded good in terms of repeatability

latent gate
#

yes, but what they plan isn't always what they release

#

or, the amount of time it takes them to release is quite a long time

autumn sluice
#

well i cant say much beyond its gonna be good cause nda

latent gate
#

Nemesis system was announced 5? 6? years before it actually released

#

also LOL NDA.

#

that's a good joke

autumn sluice
#

im still tryna figure out what u mean by that

latent gate
#

council, creator program, and dev friends, all of those are nearly identical in terms of available information

autumn sluice
#

latent gate
#

k?

#

I'm friends with quite a few people at DE. the stuff you refer isn't exactly a secret either

autumn sluice
#

i live 2 hours away and a friend on mine whos a nut about warframe lives 15 minutes away from them so he goes over all the time well he did pre pandemic

#

anyway the element interactions have me worried

latent gate
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

autumn sluice
#

cause now theyre kinda...bland? and for 3.0 im just hoping its not as bland

#

id love more than yugioh but its warframe

#

since you seem to be nuts about melee what do u use?

latent gate
#

every melee is viable

#

some are just better than others

autumn sluice
#

ik but what do u use

latent gate
#

Skana P or Dark Split sword are my most enjoyed

#

but it depends on what I'm doing

autumn sluice
#

i like the nikanas just for the aesthetic with umbra

latent gate
#

yeah. nikana are pretty underloved though

at this point warframe endgame is fashion

that's always been endgame

I've always known playing at ultra or maxed settings isn't worth it. Not least the additional performance hit that often times comes with it. Though it is really time consuming finding the right balance of settings where visual quality is not impacted but there are improvements to performance that is why I leave it at maxed, unless I find guides like what Hardware Unboxed used to do for games but that is taking up a lot of their time so I'm grateful whenever they upload those sorts of videos

blissful shard
#

thats a good video, the one last week of ultra vs high was good too

smoky flame
#

crazy thing is with the hardware we both have and the resolution we are playing at (1440p) we can crank those settings up to max and not really worry about having low performance. Game would have be poorly done to worry about that and honestly, since buying this 6800 XT Red Devil it still stands that I have yet to find a single game I cannot run or framerate consistently below 60 FPS even at maxed settings (excluding ray tracing options)

blissful shard
#

nothing i have installed is that demanding i think

#

this is what i have installed atm, and i get like 130 - 200+ fps in avengers on max settings so

#

metro has ray tracing but i still get like 120+ fps

smoky flame

Metro Exodus is probably the most demanding game there though idk about Avengers

blissful shard

im gonna uninstall metro though i dont like it its too scary

Any of y'all know any good games to buy I have a limit of £300

smoky flame
#

£300 is a very nice amount to have, especially on PC where games tend to be cheaper

blissful shard

final fantasy runs at a lower frame rate than metro and avengers, but i think its cpu limited, because it will do 240 fps outside of town but anytime you go near a large number of players it dives to like, 90 - 100

true relic

I've got a £300 on a credit card so I can buy DLC for games or just games have any ideas on what to buy, rn all I play is fortnite apex Valorant Minecraft rust and a few others

smoky flame
#

all depends on what you like really. Couple of things I do recommend you get, if you haven't already. PC game pass - that gives access to hundreds of PC games and also includes EA Play and Ubisoft+ if you like Ubisoft's games - that incudes most, if not all their catalogue of games and premium editions. Combined those two subscriptions cost around £20 a month (the latter being more expensive)

true relic

Oh that should be fine :) thank u

smoky flame

no problem. Plenty games between all three subscriptions so you should find something you like or end up like me where there is too much to choose from and can't decide what to install lol 😄

what you mean.

#

well theres a bunch of dlc on there. don't wanna buy it just for them to take it off of game pass like they do wiht some other games

latent gate

Destiny 2 is free

#

The DLC are what's added to gamepass

#

Or, expansions that is

dusk charm
#

ohh. so then it wouldn't ever be removed then like with some other games on game pass?

latent gate
#

Depends on the deal

#

But if you bought the expansions then you would own them so you wouldn't have to worry

#

It won't be removed for a while though if its planned to

dusk charm

cause it's destiny plus the expansions. be odd to remove them since it is free

latent gate
#

So you can get some good playtime without worry

#

And there's always the discount on the expansions for being in gamepass

blissful shard

they will also deep discount everything including beyond light sometime leading up to the witch queen release in february, and theres no chance D2 leaves game pass before then, so dont worry and just enjoy the game
