I have a 1660 super you can use

somber skiff

I usually use my fish, gt710, 1660 s, or t400 back home, just needed something today. Ordered two 3050 but shipping is slow 🙃

sinful blade

I wish I had a new gpu

I wish I had the money to buy a 5070 as a bench gpu

I just want a b580

fresh timber

Doom has it but I think the update roles out based on time in

European friend got the update already

#

I didn’t

😭

grand kernel

still playing cyberpunk

fresh timber
grand kernel
#

🤨

#

getting 90-100

fresh timber
grand kernel
#

playing a build that relies entirely on raw marksmanship with 0 issues

#

yes

fresh timber
#

wtf

#

I’m getting 20

grand kernel
#

🤨

fresh timber
#

Uploading clip

#

Give it a sec

grand kernel
#

i'm at 1440p fsr quality, everything cranked with path tracing

fresh timber
#

Oh I ran native

#

You cheater

grand kernel
#

well that's just not knowing the limitations of the hardware

#

game looks great anyway

fresh timber
#

I
I still get less with upscaling

grand kernel
#

dunno what to tell you

fresh timber
#

Our settings have to be diffrent

grand kernel
#

i'll stream some gameplay for a bit if you want lol

fresh timber
#

Bros 9070xt is magical

grand kernel
#

come general 1

#

lol give me a sec game just crashed was trying to push the undervolt

#

interestingly no driver timeout

#

alright stream is up

fresh timber
#

Bros is beating my gpu im sad

grand kernel
fresh timber
#

Phone but to die bye

grand kernel
#

this area is def more demanding though

#

dropping to 50-60

#

but still more than playable and the visuals are worth it

nocturne flicker
#

Mmm

grand kernel
fresh timber
grand kernel
#

too busy enjoying the game rn

chrome mirage
#

@grand kernel what gpu you using

grand kernel
#

9070xt

chrome mirage
#

and you are able to get playable framerates with pathtracing. That's pretty good.

grand kernel
#

yup currently doing the final boss fight with path tracing on

chrome mirage
#

I think my 7900XTX was struggling to hit 40fps with similar settings

grand kernel
#

with a build that relies on marksmanship

tranquil pebble
#

I've died probably a good 30 or 40 times by now

chrome mirage
#

I have 188 hours in cyberpunk

fresh timber
#

I’m still trying to figure out how your doing it

tranquil pebble
#

might be forced to use cheats to make the game playable

fresh timber
grand kernel
fresh timber
#

.-.

#

no wonder

grand kernel
#

do you expect to be able to do path tracing at native without frame gen

#

the 4080 can't do that either lol

atomic current
#

need a nasa computer

chrome mirage
grand kernel
tranquil pebble
#

no thanks, I am struggling on the easiest setting at the very beginning of the game

grand kernel
chrome mirage
grand kernel
#

good enough for me to be able to play this build

chrome mirage
#

I haven't loaded up cyberpunk in a while. I wonder if there's some performance improvements with the new update

grand kernel
#

since 1.6?

chrome mirage
#

Probably

#

I think there have been because I'm now getting over 100fps with these settings

#

nevermind. it dropped to 70 after I got in a car and feels terrible

#

and now the game crashed

grand kernel
#

💀

chrome mirage
#

switched to my overclock profile and now I'm getting over 80fps

#

110fps outside the car

#

nevermind that was with balanced fsr

#

It's around 75fps with quality fsr but it keeps crashing with path tracing enabled

grand kernel
#

sounds like your oc isn't stable

chrome mirage
#

It was crashing without the oc

grand kernel
#

dunno then

#

i can run path tracing stable with a decent undervolt

chrome mirage
#

rt psycho I'm getting over 150fps

atomic current
#

I wish my municipal water tasted more coppery

chrome mirage
atomic current
#

nice

#

I put my fridge ice into it so it tastes like SOMETHING

#

it's very bland :(

#

get it all aerated

chrome mirage
#

I use a brita filter because I'm allergic to something in my well water

#

brita seems to fix it

#

my skin gets a rash when I touch it and my dad won't get a filter for the water

atomic current
#

oof

grand kernel
#

i can't do it

#

on very hard with a gun build you have to hit him over 1000 times while dodging every attack

#

cause basically any of his attacks one shot you

#

even after dropping difficulty i still almost ran out of ammo starting from 1k

chrome mirage
#

@grand kernel I find xess ultra quality looks better than fsr and I can get 75fps and up with everything cracked and rt set to psycho

grand kernel
#

i'm using optiscaler for fsr4

#

it's criminal that this game doesn't officially support fsr4

#

fsr3 is so bad

chrome mirage
#

7900xtx doesn't support fsr4

grand kernel
#

ah right

lone mango
#

Yeah a game like cyberjunk should have it

grand kernel
#

yeah i tried fsr3 it was borderline unplayable

lone mango
#

frfr

grand kernel
#

it looked fine when standing still

#

but as soon as anything started moving

chrome mirage
#

its so blurry

grand kernel
#

everything just looked so fuzzy

#

it's either native or fsr4 lol

chrome mirage
#

xess is nice and crisp

grand kernel
#

fsr4 is still noticeably worse than dlss but it's good enough that i can enjoy the game with fsr4 quality on

chrome mirage
#

xess has a higher base resolution though so the framerate is lower

#

no crashes without path tracing

#

also it's crazy that the switch 2 can run it with ray tracing and dlss does a really good job on it

#

I'm almost considering buying the game a third time to try it on the switch 2

grand kernel
#

lol i think the overlay is bugging out

#

says 100% microstutter in this map

#

but i'm not feeling any microstutter idk

grand kernel
#

idk i didn't hear great things about the performance

#

isn't it basically a neutered rtx 2050 mobile?

chrome mirage
#

higher settings and better performance than the steam deck

grand kernel
#

yeah but i heard performance mode looks awful unless you're using the handheld screen

#

also the game is ridiculously expensive on the switch

#

idk i bought it on pc for like $20

chrome mirage
#

If I do get it i'm getting it on sale

#

I'm not buying any switch 2 games at their current prices

grand kernel
#

yeah i don't plan on buying a switch 2

#

maybe if it and games both get cheaper down the line

#

i barely use my switch 1 as is so

chrome mirage
#

I own a worse version of cyberpunk than the switch 2 version

grand kernel
#

💀

#

4K ultra HD

chrome mirage
#

I bought the switch 2 to play switch 1 games

grand kernel
#

yup

chrome mirage
#

Runs terribly on this but I love it

#

bought the xbox one version of cyberpunk because I missed the 1.0 bugs

frigid stag
#

PS4 version is pretty close

chrome mirage
#

my switch 2 dock is leaving scratches. Glad I bought a screen protector.

#

might try and get some friends together this weekend and play drunk mario kart

#

I actually have to wake up in the morning for once so I guess I'll say goodnight now

atomic current
#

nini

#

I feel like the official dock should be a slightly leaned open front

#

an official product scratching it up is garbo

#

I guess it's just a problem they're willing to cause for the foreseeable future

chrome mirage
#

Also my room is very dusty

atomic current
#

iit's fairly inevitable

chrome mirage
#

Also the switch 2 has a plastic cover over the screen so glass doesn't go everywhere when it shatters and that will scratch very easily.

atomic current
#

‼️

#

yeah I'd be happier if it just scratched the back, or if the theoretical single wall dock had foam slides

chrome mirage
#

I will probably get a glass screen protector at some point which will be more scratch resistant but the one that came with the overpriced carrying case will work for now.

#

Also the pro controller 2 is really good but way too expensive

atomic current
#

what kind of sensor are the joysticks?

chrome mirage
#

They aren't the good kind, I know that much.

atomic current
#

gulp

chrome mirage
#

The way they implemented them though feels really good and they are silent

#

I think a few have already had joystick drift but I'm not hard on my controllers

#

The only controller I've ever had with joystick drift was my 2013 Xbox one controller and it just started last year after my brother used it for a while.

atomic current
#

I think my ps3 controllers, and the ps4 ones I've used are well on their way

chrome mirage
#

My switch lite is from 2019 and still has no drift

atomic current
#

the cheapo mobile gaming/switch aftermarket controller my aunt or someone got me rapidly deteriorated

chrome mirage
#

My Xbox 360 controller still has no drift and survived my brother's abuse

#

My og Xbox duke controllers I got from yard sales are still going strong too.

atomic current
#

I hope console makers adopt hall effect sticks at this point

chrome mirage
atomic current
#

it's probably not too hard to swap the graphite ones out of any given mainstream controller to give it a new lease on life

#

not too hopeful for my cheap one

#

I got an 8bitdo wired ultimate 2c

chrome mirage
#

I think all the Xbox controllers would be pretty easy to replace joysticks on.

atomic current
#

yeah

chrome mirage
#

My PS5 controller had a spring fail in the first week and it wasn't too hard to repair.

atomic current
#

that's good

chrome mirage
#

Now I have a bag of tiny springs though

atomic current
#

lol

#

need hardware stores for specifically game controllers and stuff so they can eat the bulk and distribute it to the masses

chrome mirage
#

I broke a trigger on my steam deck when I dropped it and it's so easy to get parts for it through ifixit.

atomic current
#

I have so many computer screws because I needed a few

#

epic

#

ifixit is great

chrome mirage
atomic current
#

yeah

Buying stuff online in Canada can be a gamble. Once I paid $100 in shipping and other hidden costs to get an $80 headset

Is this SSD ok? It's about $60 for 1TB, but I'm a bit suspicious of it being so cheap for that

#

I'm not worried about super fast speed, I just need it for more storage

#

But I do want it to be faster than hdd speed

craggy shoal
#

I would trust it. Crucial P3 Plus SSDs are ~$57

tranquil pebble
#

There is AFAIK no such thing as an NVMe that is slower than an HDD, at least not an NVMe that is working properly.

hoary zodiac
#

Cheaper

craggy shoal
tranquil pebble
#

slowest nvme vs fastest hdd... slowest nvme curbstomps the hdd

#

I would trust Crucial drives in general

cursive oasis
#

Then why are other ssds so expensive

tranquil pebble
cursive oasis
#

Ah

hoary zodiac
#

The PNY I linked is literally the cheapest 1TB

#

So

tranquil pebble
#

better controller, DRAM cache amount, etc

hoary zodiac
#

Can you get dram for cheap

craggy shoal
#

Also some brands just like to charge more

hoary zodiac
#

Feels like it's all HMB these days

#

Not that dram is that important for the average user

tranquil pebble
#

Western Digital seems to be one of those rands, and Samsung

hoary zodiac
#

WD fell off

tranquil pebble
hoary zodiac
#

I'd rather choose Toshiba for HDDs

#

And ssds

#

Everyone else

craggy shoal
#

I've heard bad things about WD. And then my brother got a WD SSD, which died within a few months. Don't buy WD unless it's their hard drives lol

hoary zodiac

They make good hdds

But like

Hitachi drives were amazing ngl

hoary zodiac

I want to get a couple used sas drives

craggy shoal
#

I keep forgetting that I can fit up to three M.2 drives in my DAS

#

Time to get some 8TB M.2 drives

tranquil pebble
#

arent those expensive?

craggy shoal
#

And ultimately not worth it? Absolutely 💀

#

I have no reason to fill those slots. I probably should've shopped around for a cheaper DAS when I considered the one I got

#

Cheapest 8TB M.2 on PCPP is a WD Black

#

yeah no thanks

#

(at $600)

tranquil pebble
#

yeah I would not go over 4 TB for NVMe right now

#

$ per TB goes through the roof

tranquil pebble
craggy shoal
#

That price was for 2TB SSDs back when we started considering SSDs to be "cheap"

tranquil pebble
#

$200 is what I paid for a 512 GB SSD in 2014

craggy shoal
#

man

tranquil pebble
#

Crucial MX100... and it still works to this day

craggy shoal
#

Wow I've never seen this in PCPP. This is nice

tranquil pebble
#

60% or so health remaining

craggy shoal
#

I might get a 4TB as a boot drive for my next build. That's after I finally go stage 2 with my car and I don't need any more upgrades (until my turbo dies and I want to go stage 3 with an IS38, but that's a long stretch away)

I haven't played them yet. Stalker 2 was my first slav jank game and even I knew it wasn't a true representation

I enjoyed stalker 2 so far but yeah I wish they should stick with their A-life engine and X-rays instead that UE5 crap

mental yoke
#

It looks really good, but the game feels hollow

cedar compass
#

FPS Drops crazy low at sattlements almost at every EU5 game . fun thing is AI reactions is almost non exist idk why it throttling CPUs

mental yoke

They probably don't know how to set it up, but its still running somehow

That's the bad thing not using in house engines, no one knows how to use it

cedar compass

my 14600k bottlenecking at sattlements at Stalker 2 as well . I mean characters in settlements isn't interacting much either . I don't know what consuming 60% of my 14600K at this settlement lmao

mental yoke

And everyone is just switching to UE5

So, everyone is super fresh to a new engine that has way more features than anyone needs to be using

I still have a 5800x3d and it got pooped on in settlements

its like one of the best 5 dollars i never spent

fresh timber
#

whats yall go two usbc hubs

mental yoke
fresh timber
#

i need one sooooo

mental yoke
#

passivr usb c hubs i like

fresh timber
#

laptop im getting only has usbc lol

mental yoke
#

leme grab a pic of what i got

#

thats one

fresh timber
#

im grabbing a thunderbolt dock for home use, and a hub for travel

mental yoke
#

thats got s wireless charger pad on it

fresh timber
#

thats kewl

mental yoke
mental yoke
#

but id rather just plug into the device itself

fresh timber
mental yoke
#

using it for the display out is meh

mental yoke
#

i think the g2 supposedly sucks from what i read

#

firmware something? cus these docks will take updates

#

that dell dock is way nicer

fresh timber
#

im prob getting one of these

#

they are just cheap so thats why ima get one lol

mental yoke
#

the dock does power my alienware just not enough to even idle kekw

fresh timber
#

🧾

mental yoke
#

it just makes it last 20 hours instead of 2

fresh timber
#

lets see how fast of charging i can get

fresh timber
#

mhh

#

the laptop accepts up to 130w ac usbc

tranquil pebble
#

closing mspaint did this to my ram usage

#

all I had was a small screencap in it too

fresh timber
#

oh wow

#

how much ram should i put in my laptop

#

it can go up to 64gb

tranquil pebble
#

32 GB is what I would recommend for most

fresh timber
#

thats what im prob goin install

tranquil pebble
#

unless you are on DDR5 then I would do 48 GB

fresh timber
#

nah im going ddr4

#

its a 11th gen laptop

#

both ram slots are upgradable

#

seriously, go used

tranquil pebble
#

same for mine, 2 DDR5 SODIMMs

fresh timber
#

ebay showing meo ut of stock listings lol

tranquil pebble
#

max capacity for my laptop is 96 GB

fresh timber
#

damn

#

mines is 64

#

ima prob get this one

#

or similar spec

tranquil pebble
#

32 GB is sufficient for like 99.99% of users

#

especially on a laptop

fresh timber
#

im just happy not to buy 16gb slop

tranquil pebble
#

With Windows 11 I would recommend having no less than 24 GB

fresh timber
#

cause im seriously never buying a laptop with 16gb

tranquil pebble
#

dgpu laptops can do 16 GB a bit better because they dont have as much of it dedicated to graphics use

fresh timber
#

16gb still aint much

#

i had 16gb laptop, barley useable

tranquil pebble
#

Right, it is not.

#

dgpu-less makes it worse though

fresh timber
#

i would just max it out and stare at 95% ram usage

#

its just

#

horrible

#

id much rather 32gb or 24

my laptop has a 40 gbit usb port, plus 2 NVMe slots so when it stops being useful elsewhere it will be turned into home server

I need to figure out what to do for creating a server to hold pictures and videos

tranquil pebble
#

$30 can get me a 2.5 gbit capable wifi card so

#

Wifi 7

fresh timber
tranquil pebble
#

Wifi 7 is actually nuts. I have a cheapish Wifi 7 router and it still does a good 2400 megabit link to my phone

#

Wifi 6 I get about 1200 megabit

fresh timber
#

So I don’t even get the benefit

#

I do want the 6ghz radio

tranquil pebble
#

6e and 7 are both capable, but range is shorter on 6 GHz

#

not all 802.11be routers have 6 GHz though

#

Mine does not but the 5 GHz band is still crazy fast

fresh timber
#

Wanna know what I want

#

I just wanna pull almost gigabit off WiFi, I can barley push it rn

#

Rn im closer to 600/700 Mbps

#

I’ll upgrade my wireless later, for now I’ll just find a place to dock laptop at desk with Ethernet

makes no sense when air coolers exist

$20-30 thermalright

idle nexus

ya for real

& the air cooler will last well into like 2055

mental yoke

aios just have too low of a longevity factor compared to air coolers if your looking at just working normally

I can’t believe people really see drinking energy drinks or getting several espresso shots in your coffee as an accomplishment

you can make your mouse pointer do it too

dont be overly confident , but be confident within yourself

So how does the new Doom the Dark Ages path tracing patch perform? Let's find out! Note that this video focuses on performance testing. I recommend videos like this one from Digital Foundry for a deeper look at the visual changes in the path tracing mode: https://youtu.be/BR3c9lyV5as?si=O6Bxpz_6gsbNCn3b
