and its just like

dull hollow
#

it covered most of the basic things, ill prob have to go back to it tomorrow

unkempt lake
#

why

dull hollow
#

💀

dull hollow
unkempt lake
#

AFMF 2.1 is nice if used properly

#

And it's a nice improvement over 2.0

dull hollow
#

i havent tried it yet

gentle osprey
#

Yeah I find it funny AMD at least says to use it at 60 fps or higher

#

Nvidia doesn't bother lol

unkempt lake
#

I use it in forza motorsport cuz MICROSOFT SUCKS PEEPEEPOOPOO and caps me at 60fps in multiplayer

gentle osprey
#

Although that one Nvidia guy did say it in an interview

unkempt lake
#

2.1 got rid of most of the artifacts that 2.0 had

#

I was struggling to really find any

dull hollow
#

i will be testing it tomorrow in rivals

unkempt lake
#

At least with a base framerate of 60

unkempt lake
#

?_?

dull hollow
#

js feeling it out

unkempt lake
#

I use AFMF in controller based games

#

Not kb/m

dull hollow
#

i think ill need it for ac

unkempt lake
#

With a controller and a high fps it feels pretty good

unkempt lake
gentle osprey
#

Yeah I only use Frame Gen in my single player story games or just non-competitive FPS games, something like Diablo/POE, or Multiplayer PVE games it's fine

unkempt lake
#

POE2 with afmf my beloved

#

Takes that game from 60-70 fps to 120-130

dull hollow
pale sigil
#

Ye but how's the latency

unkempt lake
#

It actually got lowered with 2.1

dull hollow
#

2070s was struggling to hit 15 with the settings/pp i was using

unkempt lake
#

I noticed 1-2 ms less than usual

pale sigil
#

I heard forced amf can be awful

unkempt lake
#

I was at like

#

5-6 ms max of added latency

pale sigil
#

To many ms

#

Gotta go fast

unkempt lake
#

In a controller based game

#

That's hard locked to 60

#

It's great

pale sigil
#

Ew you use a controller for poe

unkempt lake
#

I was talking about forza

dull hollow
#

i hate using a wheel in forza, controller 100%

pale sigil
#

Oh

unkempt lake
#

You dumdum

#

Poe2 i use kb/m

#

Dont remember what the latency was but i play minion witch i don't notice

dull hollow
#

for motorsport wheel is better… i think

#

i dont have any rally games so… thats a miss

#

tho im interested in it, never got around to buying and playing them

unkempt lake
#

The only good rally games

#

The wrc game was messy i heard

dull hollow
#

theres quite a few to choose from what ive seen

#

heard good and bad for both

#

but learning the rally callouts

#

3 left 180 slight jump caution 2 right 1 left

unkempt lake
#

Why no afmf for dx9

#

I want to frame generate sonic adventure 2

dull hollow
#

still learning what any of the amd terms means as this is my first red card

unkempt lake
#

Darn year 2000

#

And their engine + physics tie in

#

Oh wait, forza ms does that too

dull hollow
#

i had to remove an intake fan to fit the gpu 😅

#

i thought it’d fit

#

and i forgot to factor in the fan thickness

#

😐

#

im dumb, the card was in fact longer than what the case said it could fit

#

(this was a dumb mistake + i didnt check)

Prolly Minecraft too at low render

Oh yeah no problem, Minecraft runs on that, so does TF2

and a modern keyboad module replacement shouldn't be too hard

Too many ifs and hows. And that doesn't even cover finding a case that's pristine (or at all) in the first place.

#

Overclockers still have some 9070 XT cards in stock in the UK POGGERS

cursive summit
#

Why does UK get normal prices lel

bold coyote
#

VAT thing I assume and currency differences

cursive summit
#

Like prices have fallen a little bit overnight but cheapest one here is STILL 750

#

Which is about 150 more than I'd ever pay for it havo

#

Tbf this was the same exact thing with RX 7000 series and their prices fell significantly relatively soon (in about 6 months)

#

Just gotta bid for time and poach it when it's cheap, launch is always expensive nowadays

steady sail
cursive summit
#

You know I sincerely hope AMD can claw back some market share

#

Pricing back something 799 and making it virtually unattractive to most people vs pricing it at 599 but gaining exponentially more sales for me at least seems like the correct thing to do

#

There's that perfect price to be struck where you're not earning enough more sales vs getting more margin, but the more you price the less sales you get

#

I think 599 is.. a good price?

misty matrix
#

you wont get that price in the EU

cursive summit
#

I will, eventually

#

EU is always shit at launch, a story as old as time

misty matrix
#

yeah, just not untill they start selling them for less

#

tax and such

cursive summit
#

Within half a year or a bit more I'll already see cards that are priced at like 550 eur for the 9070XT

#

How do I know that? Abusing tax loopholes

misty matrix
#

MSRP of 600 bucks will always be like +30% due to taxes

cursive summit
#

I think there's a shop in Latvia who import cards through some kind of a loophole where they do not pay added tax, and then sell them for way cheaper

misty matrix
#

750 rn is to be expected

cursive summit
#

And that is ridiculously obvious cause they sell cards at like 100 euros cheaper vs anything else

#

I bought from that place and it's legit

#

Just going to wait for them to do their thing and price it at like 550, at which point that performance is just an insane value buy

misty matrix
#

epic tax evasion

cursive summit
#

They sold 7900XT's for 600 flat in euros

#

Which is like what, 900$ msrp?

misty matrix
#

was, ages ago

#

they cut that down

old marlin
misty matrix
#

officially

old marlin
#

599+19%VAT is 656€

cursive summit
#

7900GRE was like 550$ MSRP, and its MSRP was never altered as far as I remember

#

And that was the rule, cause all local shops sold them for about 600 even late last year

#

This one fuckin latvian shop sold them for 500 flat in euros with tax

#

So yeah I did buy one for a relative, came perfect, works fine still

#

I need that latvian tax void hole magic havo

steady sail
#

blobaww i managed to switch out the 7900 xt to a reaper rx 9070 for 730€ blobaww

cursive summit
#

Depending on what you play that's either a substantial boost, about on par or weaker

#

7900XT does have 20GBs of VRAM so there's a little benefit there

nimble arch
#

I could sell my 4090 FE for a profit and then get a 9070 XT + 1440p OLED while still having change kekW

#

I'd also then be free to install Linux without having to deal with NVIDIA's bullshit

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

Highest VAT in EU I remember is either +27 or +28

#

So, quite close

misty matrix
ashen spindle
#

And we have listings that are basically exactly msrp at 690€ for the msrp saphire models on alternate for example

#

Well no it’s only vat that applies

#

Hungary is 27 then we have a few at 25 the rest is more like 20

misty matrix
#

mayhaps over yonder where you are you dont have any other taxes, but I think there is some other tax on top of vat here

#

when it comes to electronics anyway

But yeah I don't think stock issues will really plague this launch for long, defo not as much as Nvidia

Who.. are they even making cards?

frozen ingot

That has nothing to do with tariffs though

I mean when you are talking encoding I also assume recording

You can stream AV1 to YouTube

Or H265 if you want to stream HDR

yeah but it gets converted so you dont really get any benefit

You can upload AV1 videos also which users can watch in that format

If you upload in the right format/bitrate they will pass though the stream

Not everyone is happy with Radeon RX 9070 launch AMD will be ‘encouraging’ retailers to keep lower price.  From gamers perspective, AMD had a successful launch of the Radeon RX 9070 graphics card series, but only if we are talking about gamers who happen to live close to a MicroCenter. This large US retail chain […]

a decent amount of the msrp cards were sold out and 1/2 the line (to pickup & pay) had to go back and select a different gpu

96gb of vram is like the upper end of what a person need to enjoy AI

96GB fits a whole deepseek r1 model unoptimized lol

That's literally perfect

We'll see if deepseek r2 fits in there

deepseek r1 if quanted to 0.5bit

unless you mean the 70b q8/fp8

I more enjoy 70b range but with 96gb of vram I can try my hand on 123b at q4/fp4.

#

you can bet your ass you will run into issues at wqhd with 12gb before you would want to upgrade

unkempt lake
#

I'll say 8gb isn't great but it's usable you just gotta lower settings and run DLSS/FSR and close background apps

#

For a brand new product it's stupid af tho

ashen spindle
#

you do realize dlss adds to vram usage more than resolution

unkempt lake
#

Framegen adds vram usage
Upscaling doesn't

ashen spindle
#

and saying you should use a vaseline filter because they cheap out on vram is not what the argument should be in the first place

unkempt lake
#

While DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) aims to improve performance and visual fidelity, it generally does not increase VRAM usage, and in some cases, it can even reduce it by allowing games to render at lower resolutions and then upscale.

I’m still using my gtx 1660ti and we chilling

Only significant increase is caused by framegen

Also you can just use a temporal upscaler

unkempt lake

A non ai one like fsr

ashen spindle

it's usable you just gotta [do x]
is basicalyl saying its fine just upscale

I just said people's existing gpus aren't paperweights

New gpus with 8gb shouldn't exist

I think i was being pretty fucking clear with that last sentence

But you just read the first sentence and jumped to conclusions

Read shit from start to finish next time

beacuse nothing hinted to it

I think it was pretty clear

dashi always so sassy

unkempt lake

And that you just lack reading comprehension

ashen spindle

calling it stupid af but still usable both works so its not like its exclusive statements

unkempt lake
#

It's still usable in the correct context yes that would also include new gpus but it's fucking stupid to have to tweak your settings that much for a new card

#

For older cards it makes more sense if you want to stretch its lifespan out which in the current market you absolutely want to

#

Because the current market sucks ass

Only people who it could be a valid buy for would be someone who exclusively plays shitty esports shooters

Literally the only radeon feature you should have on is antilag

which game is your biggest gain so far?

valorant but thats not really much to say

the fps fluctuates a lot tho

just get a 600hz monitor

anyways, it fluctuates between 380-600

uhh overwatch is fine, i can hit 360 consistantly now without having to close every app

sounds like you can cap it to 360

feels good when your new gpu is chilling while giving 2x FPS while your old one was screaming

uhhhhhhh now it wont boot with 2 sticks

sometimes

thats bc 4 sticks

thats only if the memory is pre validated and happy

Am4 can be fussy when it comes to memory too

newer nicer sticks on an older board wont run at the rated timings, and they will attempt to train once at the wrong settings, fail, and reattempt with its own settings

And we have no idea what the sticks are

Or what bios he's on for his mobo

bios is up to date, its corsair vengeance rgb 3200mhz/8gbs per stick

yea it shouldnt take long at all unless its flat 14s or faster

dull hollow
#

doing that rn

#

okay it booted at 2400mhz

#

just 2

#

im gonna try turning up to 2800mhz

#

i dont think it ever booted with 4 sticks, it was able to do 3

#

in the past

#

when i first got the 2 extra sticks when i was using the cpu, it was fine but over time the 3rd slot stopped working

#

no

#

i dont think i have any lying around

i’m not 💀

okay i just cleared the cmos again and it doesnt appear to be helping

so i got it to boot with 3 sticks

it didnt boot with 4 after a year n sum months tho
