they get so much good word of mouth press too

[sage sluice]

Sega does not deserve how loyal their fans are

[hoary zodiac]

that they're not some stuck up studio

[sage sluice]

They do not treat them well LOL

[misty sparrow]

they're better than nintendo

[rancid juniper]

funniest thing is that sega actually puts ugly sonic to use in some marketing material
i.e ugly sonic sweaters

😂

[hoary zodiac]

at least sega doesn't sue everyone who tries to do a playthrough of their games

[sage sluice]

So true

[hoary zodiac]

small youtuber making one cent per month in a video?

claimed!!!

[rancid juniper]

they'll only sue if you try to profit their IP, nothing more

and thats fair

[sage sluice]

Garbage vs dumpster fire

[hoary zodiac]

yeah but

[velvet summit]

They treat them well enough to allow the existence of sonichu (if you don't know what that is don't look it up)

[sage sluice]

I unfortunately do

[hoary zodiac]

It is literally free marketing

[sage sluice]

[velvet summit]

[hoary zodiac]

fans will promote your products

and the way they treat them harms their brand image

I'm more annoyed by how terrible of a business move it is rather than the ethics

[rancid juniper]

nintendo does not care. They are confident that their IPs are big enough to be promoted on their own

[sage sluice]

Nintendo would get along well with a certain individual who failed art school

[hoary zodiac]

ok I wouldn't put it that way

[velvet summit]

[sage sluice]

🙏

[rancid juniper]

outta pocket

lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

I'd put them more in league with Rockefeller

not the infamous Austrian

[velvet summit]

Considering that Nintendo won a lawsuit by saying that a certain company infringed on their parents that were done after the release of the game because of a ball

Accurate

[rancid juniper]

and this was AFTER the game got released btw

messed up stuff

[deep parcel]

palworld shoulda stood their ground

[sage sluice]

Nintendo sued a 9 year old child for creating a cardboard arcade machine

They have zero morals

[rancid juniper]

dude, even if pocketpair won nintendo would squeeze them dry from legal fees

[deep parcel]

probably

[hoary zodiac]

I think it's a cultural problem in general

[rancid juniper]

it is

[unreal trail]

morals? no hard feelings, just doing my job.

[sage sluice]

The fact there arent limits on how much a collective can sue a smaller company for is insane to me, just purely with legal fees

[rancid juniper]

copyright laws in japan are alot wilder than anywhere else

[sage sluice]

Let alone individuals

[hoary zodiac]

Japanese work culture is also pretty deranged

[rancid juniper]

thats well documented ^^^

and i doubt it will ever change soon

[misty sparrow]

we live in a society

[hoary zodiac]

for a culture so well known for its politeness

their business conducts sure are nasty

[rancid juniper]

every country has its terrible downsides

[misty sparrow]

"well known for its politeness"

[hoary zodiac]

well I mean

[rancid juniper]

lmfao deep down i know they be hating

[hoary zodiac]

except to the Chinese

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[hoary zodiac]

and the Koreans...

[misty sparrow]

koreans are koreans

[rancid juniper]

south korea is dystopian af

[hoary zodiac]

the entirety of east asia is dystopian

[hoary zodiac]

do not raise a child in east asia

they will be depressed

[rancid juniper]

you live and breathe SAMSUNG

[misty sparrow]

half-life 2 wouldn't have changed much if it was set in south korea

[sage sluice]

Honestly japan is almost dystopian

Its beautiful, but feels.. wrong

[hoary zodiac]

that's all of urban east asia

I was born in Hong Kong

[misty sparrow]

seeing japanese KFC was an instant red flag for me

[hoary zodiac]

thank got I got out of that hole

[rancid juniper]

its like when you leave the country's tourist area lol

don't leave the boundry now

[hoary zodiac]

It wasn't even because of the politics

the culture was just too nasty

[rancid juniper]

fr?

damn

i wonder if sleeping dogs got it accurate

[hoary zodiac]

There is a lot of racism

[rancid juniper]

oh

mostly mainland chinese vs the locals

they DO NOT like each other

[sage sluice]

Funnily enough as much as people rag the us for racism theres SO much elsewhere

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair I would much rather have the british back

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[hoary zodiac]

we're very racist

East Asia is like Western Europe where everyone semi gets along

and south east asia is just one big thunderdome

[rancid juniper]

i like how we went from video game movie adaptations to this, conversations are interesting

[misty sparrow]

and i thought US was bad

[velvet summit]

Asian gossip goes crazy

[misty sparrow]

it's true, sometimes sonic goes to racism

you pretty much can't get rid of racism no matter how hard you try

[unreal trail]

women in China still thinking men are gonna pay a 30k dowry to marry them

[rancid juniper]

Humans will always find a way to hate each other

you can't extinguish that unfortunately

[misty sparrow]

i don't think cutting myself off is a bad idea altogether

guy who played anakin did it

he's living the best life

[rancid juniper]

why you think there's still stupid fights going on rn?

[hoary zodiac]

Chinese women are notoriously entitled

[misty sparrow]

that's 90% of women i've met

never travelled

🤔

[unreal trail]

its not worth it

[sage sluice]

People will hate your guts in a lot of countries for moving there

Especially europe

Holy crap

They despise emmigration there

[rancid juniper]

europe slander lets goooooooo

[sage sluice]

Not even intentional 😭

[hoary zodiac]

well that's kinda political

[sage sluice]

Eh not really

[craggy shoal]

It's not political at all wym 💀

[sage sluice]

Its just a fact

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

ok here's the thing

[craggy shoal]

(Sensitive topic) "it's political"

What

[hoary zodiac]

politicans are too inept to do anything so they blame it on immigrants

[sage sluice]

Yurp

Same in north america honestly

Canada has some bad immigration in the south

[misty sparrow]

i think US hates immigration too right

[hoary zodiac]

immigration isn't bad

[unreal trail]

dude comes across texas border and starts punching a ranchers cows bro it's going down

my windows installs usually only last a year

there is always this one random windows update

I havent reinstalled my windows in about 4 years now

its doing fine

[misty sparrow]

i set up my win11 install to be pretty much clean

no feature updates for the next two years, security updates only

no bloat on boot n stuff

should be good for few years

I've been fixing everything up for xmas

[kindred crescent]

Also just completed my Asus ares collection, got an ares 3 working for $400

The power draw is like 600W and is crazy

[mortal grail]

Ares...

Let me jog my memory hold on

[mortal grail]

Oh those are old af no wonder

[kindred crescent]

Overclocking focused dual AMD GPUs that only ever had 1000 of each card made

Nvidias version was the mars

[mortal grail]

Kind of wild that it's still worth 400

[kindred crescent]

$400 is a steal

[mortal grail]

Lol worth almost as much as the old laptop I'm about to sell

[kindred crescent]

I saw one go for $1500 a couple years ago

[mortal grail]

Wtf

Did you see ralic sold a 1080 hof for 500

[kindred crescent]

Yeah he made out like a bandit

[mortal grail]

He bought that thing for like 80

[kindred crescent]

Idk who he suckered tho

[mortal grail]

Someone was dying for a HoF let's just leave it at that lol

I saw a bunch of them on ebay going really high

A couple from japan

They might still be there? Idk haven't looked again

[kindred crescent]

I sold my 1080 hof to someone in the xoc community with a non public xoc tool for $350 shipped internationally

Like 2 years ago

[mortal grail]

Yeah those things aren't worth 500 lolol

[kindred crescent]

Part of my price was the software tool

It allows full control of all voltages and removes all limits

Not something you can just download

[mortal grail]

Yea I've heard about that

And it's watched like a hawk so it doesn't get out

[kindred crescent]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

I mean for good reason, it gives full control

That's not something any idiot needs

[kindred crescent]

Nvidia frowns on tools like that

And galax doesn’t want it public either

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah any company really

Warranties start flying in

"I put 2v into my core 😭"

Lol

[kindred crescent]

Cause yeah they make it for internal use but publicly it’s too easy to claim defective part if you use the tool wrong

[mortal grail]

Yeah

Welp, time for late curry night

Platinum Games is shutting down

[devout forum]

Opera GX or Aura Sync

[reef grove]

Could be aura sync

[devout forum]

Probably Aura

I had it too

[reef grove]

Others have reported it as well

[devout forum]

Yeah Aura seems to be common with all who reported it

[reef grove]

I like Christmas and it was neat but like wtf

[mortal grail]

I immediately thought aura when I saw it cos aura always does that sort of stuff if you keep it installed

[devout forum]

yeah it's cringe, but eh

[storm narwhal]

Its got the aura of breaking things

[tranquil pebble]

Currently just a rumor but that possibility is unfortunately there

I will keep an eye out for what some of their employees end up doing.

[dusk knot]

Gm all

[mortal grail]

Good mornmidafterevenight

[storm narwhal]

Good

[velvet summit]

[dusk knot]

I don't see any news of that

[tranquil pebble]

its pure speculation as of right now

There is nothing solid to go on, so until there is I would take it with a truckload of salt

[plain stone]

is my 6600xt supposed to be reaching 98c when playing ghost of tsushima or?

actually I checked hwinfo the gpu is running 66c but there's a second reading in rivatuner with 98c. I have no integrated gpu either

dang, I did more digging (just read more stats lol) and it's apparently a gpu hotspot which is crazy

what can/should I do? gpu is 2nd hand as well

[tranquil pebble]

98 is probably hotspot temp, and your card is probably throttling

[plain stone]

corec

[tranquil pebble]

Some cards always throttle by design. They either run up to power limit, or thermal limit and try to hold there.

So it may or may not be an actual problem

98 sounds a little TOO toasty though

[tranquil pebble]

Double or triple fan? OC or no (even if factory)

[plain stone]

no oc double fan

my airflow is great

[tranquil pebble]

double fan cards arent great with thermals

Also possible a repaste would help it

[plain stone]

i can't expect though for the card to reach 98 pretty fast

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah, it sounding like a paste issue to me rn

[plain stone]

sadge

[tranquil pebble]

My 6900 XT will run right up against its thermal and power limits and hold itself there. Even then the temp hovers at 89 or so hotspot

and it has factory OC on it

[frigid stag]

Did you do mpt?

[tranquil pebble]

No, stock 311W limit

tbf the card has a cooler almost as big as the 4090s

[plain stone]

repaste has been a thought for a while now but am a bit daunted by it

[tranquil pebble]

paste is your best bet

[mortal grail]

Which cooler

[plain stone]

i'll just borrow some of my friend's mx6

[plain stone]

mech msi 6600xt double fan

[tranquil pebble]

The cooler on XFX Speedster Merc 319 is so overkill its funny

[mortal grail]

Rip, paste won't really fix it

[plain stone]

dang, what about it?

[mortal grail]

Is it an old card?

[tranquil pebble]

yeah as I was saying earlier, double fan is not great

[plain stone]

it's a year old the seller said, he was upgrading and not sus

[tranquil pebble]

My 6900 XT effectively IS a 6950 XT in all but name. It is the higher binned GPU die in it.

[plain stone]

only a bit of dust as well

[mortal grail]

So still in warranty

[tranquil pebble]

yep

[mortal grail]

I would try undervolt and power limit it by maybe 10W

Or run the fans a little harder

[plain stone]

lol i run my fans at 100% at 78c

[tranquil pebble]

drivers are great on 6900 XT

the XTXH does not use different drivers

[mortal grail]

Ideally you don't want to pass 95 hotspot. 110 is ultimately "fine" just not ideal

But mech cards are kekw cooling

[tranquil pebble]

probably about RDNA 1

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't expect much out of a repaste at all

[plain stone]

this a good idea, i already am fine with stable 80fps in the game and it's really the hardest game I play

[plain stone]

this is sad to hear

[mortal grail]

Well ultimately a minor undervolt and a 10W lower limit should give the same-ish performance

So you should be able to curb it without actually doing anything

[tranquil pebble]

an xtxh is likely to have less flaws I would think by the nature of being a higher binned chip

[mortal grail]

Question is if the card has a good enough bin to take even a minor undervolt cos mech cards are kekw

Tf they warning about lmao

?

Pfffftt

[tranquil pebble]

Radeon 6000 series is one of the most stable Radeons I have ever used

pcmr is also cringe

[mortal grail]

Yeah goose anyone who says radeon has driver issues either has bought a card that's effectively doa or hasn't used one since polaris

Since rdna 3 dropped radeon has been really stable overall

[young matrix]

Smartest piece of pcmr advice

[mortal grail]

What is this australia

[tranquil pebble]

RDNA 2 even is pretty solid

[young matrix]

You're one to talk

[mortal grail]

Yeah on both rdna 2 and 3 I haven't had issues

I have used a lot of those cards too

[tranquil pebble]

rdna 1 was a clustertruck initially, but that got somewhat sorted too

[plain stone]

what card to upgrade after 6600xt?

[tranquil pebble]

Polaris? Well, I feel bad for anyone still running that.

[mortal grail]

The ones that have issues are often either day 1 issues or people blaming them cos they are convinced radeon is the problem

[young matrix]

Holy clownery

[mortal grail]

Most of the time I help people fix their radeon systems they find something else horribly wrong

[tranquil pebble]

Wait until they find out Nvidias get that too sometimes

[young matrix]

Anything that's better than a 4070

(not uninstalling nvidia drivers)

[mortal grail]

Sounds like early rdna 2 to me

Rdna is just not like that now

I can't speak for rdna 1

But 2 and 3 definitely are fine

[tranquil pebble]

RDNA 1 usually works, but performance is lackluster

[mortal grail]

If they weren't fine you'd hear about it from me cos I daily 2 and 3

Ye once 3 dropped even 2 got massively more stable

[tranquil pebble]

Some RDNA 1 cards really benefit from a VBIOS update

[mortal grail]

Those problems just barely exist now unless you really try to break them

[tranquil pebble]

and AMD did a based and backported ROCm to 6900 XT

[mortal grail]

I have 2 XTX

Telling you lad it's either a bad card or skill issue

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

how many of these people cheaped out on their PSU?

[mortal grail]

I can believe doa cards

Amd in general has poor qc

But bad drivers no

[young matrix]

Or didnt ddu their nvidia drivers

A lot of people dont uninstall nvidia drivers/shader cache before changing to amd

[tranquil pebble]

PSU issues are very likely to show up in GPU issues due to the power draw

[tranquil pebble]

What if someone needs to run an Nvidia and Radeon at the same time?

[young matrix]

Idk then

[mortal grail]

Is it that guy who has an avatar gpu

[tranquil pebble]

most people dont, ik

[mortal grail]

Cos he breaks everything

[young matrix]

Idk why youd tourture yourself like that

[mortal grail]

Yeah don't listen to him

[young matrix]

Kid named safi

[tranquil pebble]

Some people are also just cursed

[mortal grail]

He has some major anti xtx craze

He's unlucky for sure but also his issues are limited to his own doing lmao

[rancid juniper]

Seen it, guess it's going to everyone's (NFS people idk) recommended

[mortal grail]

Nah I forgot his name is like tech city or something

[young matrix]

Is it actually safi

Oh

[mortal grail]

Cos he does

[rancid juniper]

S....safi....

[mortal grail]

I've seen him post about so much

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[mortal grail]

And he just rants about how broken radeon cards are

[tranquil pebble]

type of person to put an F-tier PSU with a 90 class card?

[mortal grail]

But then you try what he says not to do, and no issue?

I can't remember what it was now this was months ago lmao

Anyway don't base anything you learn off that guy specifically lmfao

Destroy him in a way that can lead the NPC into a coma

Majima likes to break it down

Not to mention kiryu going on hostess websites

[mortal grail]

Agesa is the main reason but ryzen also has shakey qc

[tranquil pebble]

vs me who has edited driver config files and manually loaded them at times

[mortal grail]

You've come to the right place

[young matrix]

And also kson/kiryu coco being in the game

[mortal grail]

There's a few tricks to know but if you want to try radeon we have a lot who daily it here

Honestly quite rare to have a real problem that doesn't end in a warranty

[rancid juniper]

Radeon rage mode

[frigid stag]

Cause rdna 3 chiplets is kinda memes

[mortal grail]

Good card, navi 21 is solid these days if you pick the right cooler

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 3 too new with chiplets

Hopefully rdna 4 fixes it's mistakes

[mortal grail]

Yeah the only real issue with rdna 3 is the die bulge

Yes

[sage sluice]

We love red devil, thats the card i have ✨

Oh yeah TUF had a top edition too I think, that one is up top as well

The top editions are confusing af because they had both xtxh versions and also not

I do not blame you if you get one and it's not xtxh lol

My wallet felt it

🥹

[velvet summit]

four hundred dollars 🗣️

[mortal grail]

Why's your wallet so perverted

[velvet summit]

you would feel it if you passed a kidney stone

[sage sluice]

She was 500 since shes a sought after varient

[mortal grail]

Don't remind me about a pain we will both go through but me sooner

[sage sluice]

But god shes pretty

[velvet summit]

[sage sluice]

I love her to death lol

She a goob

When we picked her out she immediately stood out to me

All the other ones were pissy or scared, she was kind of just insane

Her lack of braining instantly made me want her 💀

She tries at least

[tranquil pebble]

I have heard it is one of the most painful things you can experience

[sage sluice]

Birth

Fire

Being peeled like a banana

[lone mango]

fr

[plain stone]

do i just lower both

by like 10

[mortal grail]

Use adrenaline

Afterburner sucks for rdna 2

Adrenaline or MPT & MCT

[plain stone]

oohhhh

thank you

[mortal grail]

Just drop the voltage by like 0.005v, drop power about 5% or 10%

Then maybe even make a custom fan curve that's a little more aggressive than stock

Or what you had

Then save it

From time to time windows may restart with the settings reset but if you save them they're reapplied in 20 seconds so

[plain stone]

yup thanks

sad that I have to do this

been 5 years since my first gpu, this is my first upgrade

[mortal grail]

I mean you could again, just leave it

110C is the technical safe for hotspot

But it's not ideal is all

Minor undervolt should keep it in line without any loss

[plain stone]

given how quiet my pc was since i had it, it's honestly irritating to hear only the gpu

also in adrenaline it seems it's a percent kinda thing

[mortal grail]

Yep

These are small changes

You can change this somewhere in the settings

[plain stone]

so min freq 0% and max 90%?
then voltage% is 99%? or

[mortal grail]

I can't remember

It's in there somewhere

[plain stone]

sure, leme research a bit

[mortal grail]

The real change is this is like, 5% max of each but the actual value does matter

[rancid juniper]

https://wccftech.com/intels-core-ultra-200s-cpus-witnesses-significant-performance-improvement-after-new-optimizations/#comments

[plain stone]

oh silly me i was tinkering with the settings, advanced mode just tells me the actual numbers instead of percentages lol

700-2579MHz
1150mV

[plain stone]

ill put it to 500-2500 and 1140

[mortal grail]

Yeah that works

Then reduce the power limit by 10 watts

That's gonna be like

5%?

Basically nothing

Then save all that

[empty tide]

Welp, I'm $620 poorer but I got that GPU I was looking for

[plain stone]

can i reduce it a bit more? i'm aiming for a very slight decrease in performance for better temps and voltage use

[mortal grail]

If you want

[plain stone]

cus i really dont mind any game I play with it as long as it's stable and lighter competitive titles over my refresh rate

[mortal grail]

Power down more is fine

Voltage is the one I would leave mostly alone

Only a mild change at most

[plain stone]

alright thanks

[opaque sedge]

Whats the impression of the b570 rn?

Its priced so closely to the b580 it feels like they made it just to upsell the b580

[sage sluice]

Is it released?

[opaque sedge]

Oh right that was gonna release later

I forgot

[sage sluice]

😭

[opaque sedge]

Jan 16

Damn

@mortal grail O III AAA III OO IIII AAAAA

[opaque sedge]

220 bucks for the b570 and 250 for the b580

[lone mango]

Can you undervolt arc with afterburner

Because I can't see much about undervolting arc

Only thing I saw was from a really small channel that used some arc oc utility and undervolted with that

[mystic osprey]

U guys think my 3080 will be fine for another year or is it time

It's the 12g one at least

[frigid stag]

It’s fine

If you have to ask it’s fine

It’s faster than a 4070

[mystic osprey]

As long as I can run my kingdom come 2 at 1440p I'll be happy

Ima just wait for the 5000 series tbh.

[frigid stag]

5080 might be good

[mystic osprey]

🤞

[iron lynx]

Outdoor Blocker MKII

[frigid stag]

I have like half of those installed 💀

Shameful i know

[mortal grail]

Idk I'm still waiting on my first arc card

[rancid juniper]

It's not too late to uninstall

[frigid stag]

True

Most recently played is league 💀

[rancid juniper]

😂

Got the worse end of the stick

[mortal grail]

What's shameful about having low budget decent games

You don't even need to be a weeb some of those are just plain fun lol

[frigid stag]

I mean cmon 💀

[rancid juniper]

I mean if you're having fun with the games it's alr

We just like to meme on them

[frigid stag]

Some of them are just...you’d need to pay people to play them

League mostly

I installed it when I was bored

[mortal grail]

Show me good aaa and I'd change my mind

[frigid stag]

Ghost recon wild lands

[rancid juniper]

Couldn't get into league because it's too boring

Played some mihoyo games like genshin, hsr, and zzz but they get boring after a while

Did not trust valorant with their sussy anticheat software

[frigid stag]

I got to like ar33 in genshin 💀

My friend made me try it

[rancid juniper]

Iirc I was around ar45-47

It's been a while since I last played that game

If anything these games look like a chore

There's a ridiculous amount of content but if you're entirely a f2p player like me it will get draining

[frigid stag]

It was okay. But It starts making you spend real money

[rancid juniper]

Gacha addicted people tend to stick around

[rancid juniper]

Yep that's their plan

[frigid stag]

Yeah pretty much

I just forgot about it and stopped playing

[rancid juniper]

Real

[frigid stag]

Isn't that like 8 years old

[frigid stag]

Something like that

[rancid juniper]

Since there's a steam sale try to shotgun some indie titles

I should do the same tbh

[frigid stag]

Also yeah why was steam “fall sale” in November 💀

November is like winter

[rancid juniper]

Erm

Shhh

Just enjoy sale

[frigid stag]

Someone at valve forgot

[mortal grail]

Man 8 years ago games were alright

[frigid stag]

Real

[mortal grail]

Show me something today good

💀

[frigid stag]

2015 has some good games

💀

[frigid stag]

Uh maybe cyberpunk

[sage sluice]

I have one mobile game on this phone LMAO

[rancid juniper]

PS4/Xone era was pretty good

[frigid stag]

It’s like 3 years old or something as well

💀

[sage sluice]

Oh and chess

[mortal grail]

After like 4 years of pain alr

Lmao

[frigid stag]

It was good on day one

If you had a good pc

[mortal grail]

Bro I had a 3080 day one

It crashed

Every hour

[frigid stag]

💀

[mortal grail]

[sage sluice]

Ive heard horror stories of day one cyberpunk

[mortal grail]

It was awful

It ran...ok

[rancid juniper]

Don't play cyberpunk on ps4
Don't play cyberpunk on ps4
Don't play cyberpunk on ps4

[mortal grail]

I could get good fps tbh

[sage sluice]

This is why idgaf about fomo and got the game a year ago

[mortal grail]

But like, crashing

Always

[north crescent]

play cyberpunk on ps3

[frigid stag]

Especially non pro PS4

On the pro it’s playable

[sage sluice]

After phantom liberty it finally seemed worth to me

[rancid juniper]

That console would probably end up being a black hole

[rancid juniper]

Barely

[mortal grail]

Heh hope you like ps2 graphics with ray(???) tracing

[rancid juniper]

???

[sage sluice]

Why are titles forcing ray now

I dont get it

4090s cant even make the most of it

[rancid juniper]

-To make gamers buy expensive cards
-To showcase this technology further to investors
-Seeing the market still craving realistic graphics?

[mortal grail]

Ray seems like a cool guy

[sage sluice]

I bought a 7900 gre and play majority indie

[rancid juniper]

It's either 1 of these three

[north crescent]

Kinda mean to force Ray, that one cool guy, to do things ngl

[mortal grail]

Greg is pretty cool too

[mortal grail]

Ikr

[sage sluice]

People who buy these games are just wasting their money

[mortal grail]

Ray doesn't like thing

[sage sluice]

At this point cant even (entirely) blame the companies, the consumers are the ones buying into stuff they dont understand is stupid 😭

[mortal grail]

Except they ain't

[sage sluice]

I will however blame the companies for having the same graphics of 10 years ago with half the actual game

[mortal grail]

B580 gang

Les go

[sage sluice]

Older titles are just plain better than most games nowadays

[north crescent]

What else are they going to do - Stay on a 1080Ti?

[sage sluice]

And buying on launch is a death sentence

[rancid juniper]

The difference between DX11 and DX12 is night and day in terms of performance

On the same settings I can achieve 180+ fps at 1440p (DX11) while DX12 will go as low as 140fps. Nothing changed except for the API -Fortnite

[mortal grail]

Forza is just garbage tho

Like

[sage sluice]

The horror

[mortal grail]

That game crashes with fm7 graphics

[rancid juniper]

1080ti is showing its age

[opaque sedge]

Like ur mom

[sage sluice]

1080ti is still showing its strength tho

[opaque sedge]

[rancid juniper]

Facts

[sage sluice]

If games could just... properly optimize

[worthy meteor]

Bg3 should count as AAA

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[mortal grail]

FM8 even has a next gen graphic setting that they canned before release

[sage sluice]

Instead of being like "woopsies your fault shoulda bought a bigger rig"

[mortal grail]

It does

[rancid juniper]

Developers craving TAA once more:

[mortal grail]

Name a 2nd one

[opaque sedge]

Ok 3 uh I mean

I hope you mean motorsport

[rancid juniper]

Crowbcat

[mortal grail]

Oh wait

[opaque sedge]

Have yet to play it tho

[rancid juniper]

Bro had a few misses lately

[opaque sedge]

Videos looked cool

[mortal grail]

Isn't this just a dlc

Or are they already releasing that game

[sage sluice]

Dont really watch their stuff

But the left 4 dead vid is a banger

[opaque sedge]

Nah the modders reuse in game assets and mix em up to make new enemies bosses weapons skills and armor

[mortal grail]

God dammit say FH4

[rancid juniper]

I used to but now it's just blatant half baked comparisons

[sage sluice]

No yapping, just straight up comparisons of a better game made many many years ago

[mortal grail]

So this is the new game?

[opaque sedge]

Its a mod

[mortal grail]

Oo ok

Wait what

By the devs?

[opaque sedge]

Nah

[opaque sedge]

By a community called the convergence

[mortal grail]

Oh ok

[opaque sedge]

They’re technically fans

[mortal grail]

But that a mod

[sage sluice]

Maybe, regardless my point stands with games just not being good nowadays being excused with good graphics

[mortal grail]

Where aaa studio

[opaque sedge]

Been doing it since the ds3 days apparently

[mortal grail]

Aaahhh

Aaa

[rancid juniper]

Too true

[sage sluice]

And even then good graphics is hard when youre watching a slideshow

[opaque sedge]

Its actually pretty sick what they did with the game

[rancid juniper]

Pathtracing defenders be like:

[opaque sedge]

Just look up elden ring convergence

On yt

[sage sluice]

Oh i think pathtracing is beautiful

I think playing the damn game is beautifuller

Those two dont converge

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[sage sluice]

Honestly even with tracing tech, game companies dont even know how to properly implement it

Take hogwarts legacy and their mirror ass chalkboards

Older games doing full body tracking, actually letting you interact with the environment (try and find that with modern "AAA"), putting so much effort into the minute details and then games now show how little respect they have for an audience and slap together some half baked gameplay and some fancy lighting

I dont play "AAA" games, i play good games. Deep rock, elden ring, night in the woods, terraria, subnautica

So many good games people dont appreciate because "o em gee it no real"

Not to mention the same company making a million times better pirate game a decade prior

Elden ring isnt a "AAA" game, its a AAA game

[opaque sedge]

Also seems to be easy to mod

Fromsoft isnt too big on mods tho apparently

They’re apparently impressed with the seamless coop mod tho

[sage sluice]

Outlaws is a "AAA" game, horizon zero dawn is a "AAA" game, mirage is a "AAA" game

Open world games are amazing, giant maps with some junk spread around isnt

Give me something meaningful

Same with ray tracing

[dusk knot]

Hm

[sage sluice]

These things have something in common: theyre great when used right, issue is theyre hard to use right. Yet even the most uninspired pretend they can

Eh im just biased then

The game feels like a nothing burger to me

Outlaws is insanely ass tho lol

Facial expressions? I prefer stone etchings on idle animations

Physics? No

Story? Dont even ask

[dusk knot]

Outlaws trash

[devout forum]

Outlaws is a straight joke

[dusk knot]

Trash as a game and as an edition to Star wars

Totally skipped it

[devout forum]

It's the sort of joke nobody laughs when hearing but the one thinking of it thinks it's the stuff

[dusk knot]

The only SW game I haven't bought. Smh

RT is still gimmick for almost every game

PT is a straight up joke

:HUH:

Whoops ...there goes nitro

And modern games are filled with junk labeled "content"

Also rip

[dusk knot]

Just give it some time and everyone will love it.

[devout forum]

I mean eh

RT is probably the future in some ways

[opaque sedge]

safi's mark still remains

[devout forum]

But it ain't close future

[opaque sedge]

guys how hard is modding skyrim?

[dusk knot]

Not really. RT is the path to photorealism

[devout forum]

I love how people rushed to defend nGreedAI under a vid about Indiana Jones mandating RT be like "But the 30 series is the most used GPU on Steam"
My sibling in Christ they can't do RT without cratering to cinematic framerates

It's honestly depressing how effective Team Greed marketing is

[opaque sedge]

i kinda want more modern looking graphics and a better third person combat system and just being able to play it till completion

without touching the mods again

[mortal grail]

:PepeRealizes:

Wait wtf

[opaque sedge]

by this i meant strictly game mods not people mods btw

[devout forum]

No boosts?

[mortal grail]

Where'd the emoji go

:PepeRealizes:

LOL

[opaque sedge]

u on mobile?

[mortal grail]

It's like peek a boo

:PepeRealizes:

[dusk knot]

At least full path tracing is not mandatory. I got 7 fps trying it out on low lol. But you're right, most people are locked out from playing the game.

[mortal grail]

Peek a boo

[devout forum]

Ye short on boosts

[dusk knot]

Looks like you need to boost the server, pal.

[devout forum]

I love how the gimmick of the 40 series was "World's first path-tracing gaming GPU" and then the 4090 craters to sub-30 when pathtracing

[mortal grail]

Why you looking at me

[opaque sedge]

guys?

[devout forum]

We're probably like

[mortal grail]

Ur the one buying a 5080 moneybags

[opaque sedge]

[devout forum]

2 or 3 gens away from pathtracing being viable

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

30fps without DLSS and frame gen right?

[mortal grail]

I wish

[opaque sedge]

if there's triple a games

are there double a games?

[devout forum]

With quality DLSS iirc
But no FG
FG got average 60 with 35 mins

[dusk knot]

I believe it's possible

[mortal grail]

I normally play a game

[dusk knot]

Terrible 💀

[devout forum]

The latency was as well lol

[mortal grail]

4K 24fps using the 7090 and dlss 4 rendering at 720p

[devout forum]

Like you can SEE the delay between inputs and action

[opaque sedge]

gaming? nah more like slideshow simulator

[devout forum]

It's kinda sad

[opaque sedge]

how's the monster hunter wilds optimization going btw?

guys

whats the 1440p perf dif between the 4070s and 4080s

[nocturne flicker]

SMIM in Special Edition and one of the 3rd person animation packs, should be pretty simple to install

[devout forum]

Like 20% iirc

[opaque sedge]

whew

[opaque sedge]

noted

[devout forum]

But at least 4070s is already above 80 in most games

4080s can go over 100 on average across many games

[opaque sedge]

dlss reminds me
