[rancid juniper]

smh

ill probably wait for intel E based gpus

[opaque sedge]

Amd is still releasing apus with rdna 3(.5) cores btw

So no fsr4 on them 💀

[rancid juniper]

so we're going to C, D, E, etc

[opaque sedge]

Amd’s likely just gonna nest in the console market with their chips, intel in the mobile and nvidia will still dominate desktop with the way things are going

[dusk knot]

We would have to have similar showtimes in order for that to work....and.....that doesn't keep into account possible delays

I don't really have a favorite character

I like characters

But I don't have an ultimate favorite

[iron finch]

but like from what im seeing online, its not like a fallout situation where he changed to pander to the stupid people, hes just always been like this and even played without the peanut filter

people are just hating

Why easily recreate when you can do macrium reflect or whatever it's called and waste hours of your time?

[velvet summit]

The file was on a red hat academy VM
The file was tiny, just a few lines that I cat in the terminal for the prof when I finish a lab to screenshot

Honestly the most time wasted is just waiting for the lab environment to rebuild (which is completely automatic but takes like 3 minutes)

I just open a terminal and do echo "stuff I want to put in the file" > thefile

Don't even bother opening vim

[velvet summit]

long compilation times?

it's like 10 seconds

that aint long

[stiff drum]

I've played games that compile shaders for 45+ minutes

[bitter ridge]

Yeah only looking forward to the in game stuttering part

[stiff drum]

Hell, I don't think cod bo6 ever finished prior to me stopping playing it lmao

[queen briar]

if i can find me a nice japanese wife, that wont be an issue.

[velvet summit]

Wtf kinda games you play that take over 45 minutes

Longest I've ever experienced was like 5 minutes

But on average it's just a few seconds

[bitter ridge]

Tlou pt 1 on a pre zen 3 cpu can be long

[velvet summit]

Over 45 minutes long?

[bitter ridge]

Iirc my 5600 was 37 minutes so wouldn't be surprised if it was over 45 minutes for zen 1 and 2

[velvet summit]

💀

I've not played tlou so I have no clue what it would be like for me but I also have no interest in the game

[bitter ridge]

Pt 2 fixes it down to sub 10 minutes for pretty much all relatively modern cpus though

[nocturne flicker]

Just another reason to not play TLoU

[heady plinth]

Longest one I've noticed was veilguard and then it would verify them every time too.

[tranquil pebble]

So stuff that Steam already does with Vulkan shaders. Lol.

[ashen swan]

should i get a pixel 10 or a samsuang S25

[elfin mural]

pixel has a rather underwhelming soc

[worthy meteor]

Pixels have consistently been underpowered hardware wise, S25 probably the better option in general, but you'll get better software features with Pixel, mainly getting updates early

[elfin mural]

samsung does offer very long update policy though, even if the updates don't come as quickly as google

[queen briar]

@elfin mural oh now yuoure here

[elfin mural]

and software features wise, samsung wins with good lock

[worthy meteor]

Iirc Google offers the same length now

[elfin mural]

stability.. i'd say samsung imo

[worthy meteor]

They increased it after I think pixel 6?

[elfin mural]

google's rapid updates have been doing not very good things sometimes

[elfin mural]

yep

[queen briar]

been trying to get your attention fo over a day

[worthy meteor]

Tbf there hasn't been any crazy bugs yet

But you do get a few more bugs as the early adopter

But it ain't Nvidia drivers that breaks something every update

[elfin mural]

though the s25 does use an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner

not sure if the pixel 10 moved to the same tech yet

[worthy meteor]

Yea 9 and 10 are both ultrasonic fingerprint scanners iirc

[iron finch]

180 dollars thats a deal

100 dollars of ram, a 120 dollar cpu, a 60 dollar motherboard

if that was a combo on newegg for that price id buy it

slap a b580 or used 3060ti on it

asrock 650w psu

50 dollar case

boom

[ashen swan]

wait

S24 Ultra with 256gb of storage
or
S25+ with 256

[elfin mural]

the ultra easily has the better cameras

[ashen swan]

Hows the camera on the fold btw

[elfin mural]

man i gotta be honest, i don't care about foldables at all so i don't follow them

[ashen swan]

so go with a S24 ultra gottchs

[elfin mural]

yeah, you still have like a lot of updates left too

foldables to me are cool, but they would fail me less than a year in with how i use my phone

[ashen swan]

hm

actually

I'll just get a S25

main thing i wanna do is get on andriord

because a S25 here

is like

650

[elfin mural]

s25 is good too

at least it has no exynos version at all, so you get the best version in all regions

[ashen swan]

i find it funny

despite living in a majority mac enviorment

I could give less care about their eco system

i think it's kinda BS that its a pro for people ngl

[elfin mural]

meanwhile im thinking of maybe one day getting into macos lmao

finding a good linux laptop that's also great for gaming is a pain

so i might as well head to macbooks

[bitter ridge]

I would go with s25 since they tend to have more accessories available for them compared to pixels

Also Tensor g5 is significantly worse than 8 elite

[ashen swan]

Framework seems to be planning panther lake

But their stuck on the -2

12

And temps prob suck

Also screen

Also ram

You will have to use camm

OLED 120Hz or Mini led 60hz

Mini leds have terrible dimming

[craggy shoal]

I like my mini LED (TV)

[opaque sedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/s/0HvLkxqwNQ now they care abt rt and pt 💀

Bruh just play the games man

[dusk knot]

Idk about future. This is only one game

And Indiana Jones apparently

Hm

[elfin mural]

micro led is coming in 2027 apparently for larger displays

displays larger than smartwatches, that is

so we might start seeing a micro led laptop or something

[acoustic palm]

Micro LED strix halo laptop

Now I can get behind that

[opaque sedge]

Gonna be 2 grand for a 1440p 27inch display 💀

[elfin mural]

hey

early adopters are like that

it'll eventually come down in price

[acoustic palm]

I wonder how much that would even cost

😭

4k?

[opaque sedge]

5k

[dusk knot]

Micro LED will save us

OLED will be gone

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure there were 5k asus strix laptops in 2023 💀

[acoustic palm]

Ugh

[opaque sedge]

[acoustic palm]

Well I’m still looking at strix halo stuff

[opaque sedge]

Hopefully oled will be cheaper

[acoustic palm]

Or maybe next gen will be good

[acoustic palm]

OLED IS cheaper

[pliant berry]

well oled has been getting cheaper

[acoustic palm]

It’s so cheap rn

[dusk knot]

Eventually

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the prev gen panels

[dusk knot]

It'll take decades

[elfin mural]

oled has been around since forever

[acoustic palm]

Even prev gen is good

[elfin mural]

the tech matured

[opaque sedge]

I want a new gen flat oled ngl

[elfin mural]

well there's still wpholed but burn-in is never solved if the leds are organic to begin with

micro led is just that next step we need in terms of burn in concerns

[acoustic palm]

I have one

It’s pretty nice

[opaque sedge]

Also people dont talk enough abt how much heat these monitors radiate 💀

[acoustic palm]

But like… I’m gonna sell everything soon so

[dusk knot]

And have extremely bright screens with unbelievable color accuracy

[opaque sedge]

I’ll take the oled off of ur hands

For tree fiddy

[acoustic palm]

500$

[dusk knot]

And response times that make OLED look slow

[elfin mural]

i just want oled image quality and low latency without the burn in

[opaque sedge]

Tree fiddy

[elfin mural]

that's all i ask for tbh

[acoustic palm]

Plus one fiddy

[opaque sedge]

U have the alienware 360hz right?

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

Used but it’s basically brand new

[opaque sedge]

I can literally get it for under 500 brand new with a student discount from dells website 💀

[acoustic palm]

Damn

Well I’ll put it up on fbmp for 500

Hope someone takes it or offers for it

[lone mango]

I think that’s a lot to ask for

[elfin mural]

yeah seeing as it has been forever since development began on micro led lmao

[opaque sedge]

I hope they make mini leds better too ngl

But then again they might not

Cuz they gotta sell the oleds first

[elfin mural]

mini leds have a big technical limitation

they can't go smaller

if you go smaller, it turns into micro led

[dusk knot]

Trash

[opaque sedge]

Srsly? Dont macs use minileds? And i believe they have a resolution of bit under 4k for the pro models bfr oled was adopted

[elfin mural]

macs do use mini led yes

i was talking about the pixel size

mini led describes a display tech that is still LCD with a backlight

they just utilize dimming zones to boost contrast and brightness

mini led displays don't have self-emissive pixels

there's no way to make mini led reach oled level image quality

add more dimming zones and you get more heat

as well as more power consumption

alr tldr; mini led can't match oled

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[velvet summit]

Amogus

[queen briar]

It's not terrible dimming when you compare it to OLED. Oled literally turns off.

[velvet summit]

Problem with minileds is haloing

It can get to near perfect blacks (not as good as OLED but close) but the problem is minled zones leaking some light to places that should be completely black

Displays with more zones have less of this issue but especially cheap minileds, haloing tends to be bad enough to disable full array local dimming

[opaque sedge]

i wash it every week

[frigid stag]

U need glass

[opaque sedge]

arent they like a whole hundie

[random osprey]

depending on the brand

theres some chinese ones out there like $60-$80

[frigid stag]

Wallhack are sometimes under 100

[opaque sedge]

Damn still steep would rather go with a well known brand at that difference

[velvet summit]

It's all glass

[bitter ridge]

I want to get a glass pad but I am afraid normal web browsing speed would become too fast also

[velvet summit]

A well known brand ain't making a large difference

[opaque sedge]

Do u guys have a glass pad?

[random osprey]

a few

[velvet summit]

I don't, but the thing about glass pads is that it's basically the same friction no matter the brand, unlike with cloth pads which the material makes a huge difference

[frigid stag]

They vary a lot tho

[bitter ridge]

Also apparently I would have to wear a sleeve and family might see that and start thinking weird things

[random osprey]

you dont have to wear a sleeve for a glass pad especially glass pads now

unless youre hella sweaty

[queen briar]

its my steak and eggs, but its blue.

[nocturne flicker]

Da ba dee

[worthy meteor]

That's steak? I thought that was French toast with blueberry jam or smth...

[queen briar]

thats not powdered sugar. i dry aged it and thats some of the residue.

[queen briar]

it is.

[worthy meteor]

I was very concerned for your health for a second

[queen briar]

bluberry, raspberry and starwberry compote/syrup or whatever you wanna call it

[queen briar]

you should be. im like 1/5 a ton.

[opaque sedge]

Steak and eggs… sounds heavy af ngl

Steak and rice or potatoes on the other hand

[queen briar]

steak and eggs is a balanced breakfast.

especially if you add some potatoes and avocado.

[opaque sedge]

Fat overload

Gonna make u a greaselord

[queen briar]

minimal fat. hghi in protein.

[opaque sedge]

That rhymes

Keto ass breakfast tho ngl

Still would be fortunate to have a plate like that for breakfast daily

[nocturne flicker]

I think it is more like a preserve than a compote

Compote generally has the fruit maintain its shape

[queen briar]

potatoes and aovcado make it not keto. but it has gives a boost of potassium, iron, vitamin E, zinc and good fat.

[opaque sedge]

Iron…

I think i have an iron deficiency ngl

[queen briar]

i mean most of the fruit is there. i boiled down fresh fruit, added fresh orange juice and some sugar.

[opaque sedge]

I always feel good and energetic the days i have red meat

[queen briar]

try eating spinach and egs. snack on some almonds. or raisins.

[nocturne flicker]

Become Popeye. Consume entire cans of spinach all at once

[opaque sedge]

What type of food classification do almonds fall under?

[queen briar]

nuts.

[opaque sedge]

How abt you eat these almonds

[queen briar]

im still trying to figure out why people with peanut allergies can not eat peanuts.

[nocturne flicker]

Almonds are not actually nuts

[queen briar]

almonds are good. get some dark chocolate almonds.

[queen briar]

im not calling a almond a fruit.

idc if it is the endosperm.

[opaque sedge]

Cuz they cause an allergic reaction causing them to swell up and often have trouble with breathing slowly suffocating to death

[queen briar]

yes but peanuts are not nuts.

[opaque sedge]

They arent

[queen briar]

theyre legumes.

[opaque sedge]

Oh shit

Like beans

[queen briar]

beans, chickpeas and lentils

it has to be a checmical in them that makes them alergic, not nuts

[opaque sedge]

I love lentils

[nocturne flicker]

They are drupes

[queen briar]

im still not calling them anything other than nuts

[nocturne flicker]

The almond you eat is a seed

Of the drupe

[queen briar]

fruits arent drupes

a drupe is the pit of a fruit.

[nocturne flicker]

Drupes are fruits

Stone fruits to be exact

No

[queen briar]

i take that back. you right.

[nocturne flicker]

A peach is a drupe too, we just don't eat the seed part

[queen briar]

you can if youre strong enough.

[opaque sedge]

Dont peaches have an almond like seed thing inside the seed shell

[nocturne flicker]

It is a similar type of seed yes

Drupes are fruits with a stony seed at the center

However the actual seeds of peaches inside the hard shell are like tiny almond seeds

Domesticated ones iirc are much more similar in size to almonds

[queen briar]

all i can think of is petting a peach and saying " good boy "

[velvet summit]

2nd game to feature AMD ray regen

lol

7900 XTX ran well with RT in this game because the developers just turned down the ray count
LOL

Global Ilumination should be a toggle at the driver level at this point

and it could be, but NO we're wasting time and resources shoving AI in everyones face

to make fake GI and fake frames and fake lightrays

[rancid juniper]

it would be nice, its been a while since we got driver level graphics tweaks as we only got options for dx9 games

and requiring huge power draws to do it

oh and also fake pixels

upscaling 480i to 1080p so they dont have to do the optimization work

man the pa120 is so quiet it's crazy

[opaque sedge]

New fan?

[grand kernel]

replaced failing aio on 3700x with pa120 and I can't even tell the pc is on

it's quieter than the monitor running cinebench

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Yeah thermalrights are pretty quiet

[grand kernel]

I set the cpu fans to 30% below 70C and the case fans to off below 60C

its running cinebench rn and the case fans didn't turn on

[tranquil pebble]

I put one on my 9800x3d and its like no noise lol

[opaque sedge]

My 5080 makes coil whine noise when i scroll pages tho so not getting a quiet experience here

[grand kernel]

well no this is like my sixth pa120

but first time putting it on a 3700x

[tranquil pebble]

somehow my 6900 XT seems to lack coil whine

[grand kernel]

it's not disappointing

[tranquil pebble]

pa120 is stupid good for the price lol

[grand kernel]

this was the 3700x under a 360 aio yesterday

at idle

🤣

[dusk knot]

Lol. Me too! The sound is very low but I can hear it's making slight coil whining noises whenever I move my mouse or just scroll in general.

[tranquil pebble]

thermal interface fail?!

[grand kernel]

nah I think either the pump was starting to get blocked or enough coolant evaporated through the tubing to become a problem

[opaque sedge]

I might get a pc stand and keep it out of my face ngl

[grand kernel]

the pump was definitely still working but it sounded strained

and the temps weren't as instantly bad as a typical pump failure

[opaque sedge]

Would give me enough room for 2 monitors too

But man i wont be able to see these sexy cables

I managed them more recently

[dusk knot]

Perhaps

[grand kernel]

performance is back to full, nice

yesterday it scored 3725/478 in cinebench r20

today 4764/493

[tranquil pebble]

guessing it was throttling to hell and back before

[grand kernel]

yeah

idle temps from 84C avg down to 46C avg lol

if anything I'm impressed it still scored 3725 yesterday

[tranquil pebble]

tfw your temps on idle were higher than my full load temps

[grand kernel]

let's see if small ffts avx2 can make the case fans turn on

surely it will lol

...nope the case fans are still off

maybe I set them to not turn on until 70C? thought it was 60C

it's holding 3710MHz all core at 64C

yesterday it was 2230MHz all core at 95C

[tranquil pebble]

I still need to try AVX 512 on mine

[grand kernel]

bruh I still can't hear this thing at all even running small ffts

[opaque sedge]

Anybody here an expert on cable management? How can i make this look better?

[grand kernel]

it's the exact same volume as idle

as an expert in cable management

just leave it man managing it more than that is just gonna make it too annoying if you need to swap anything in/out

[tranquil pebble]

3700x is 65W TDP, and the PA 120 is rated for like 200W.

[grand kernel]

the future headache isn't worth the 1 photo

[grand kernel]

yeah I guess it's also a 4+4 core config so the heat density isn't nearly as bad as 5800X

I'm used to the 5800X being an absolute menace to cool

this 3700X is drawing 88W sustained and it's still quieter than the monitor's electrical hum lol

[tranquil pebble]

even a 9800x3d is kept cool very easily by the PA 120

[grand kernel]

I can't hear it over ambient noise

with 0 case fans

there are 3 case fans but they're all off because the cpu temp is too low even in small ffts

[tranquil pebble]

there's gotta be some vapour chamber stuff going on in the PA 120

[grand kernel]

don't think it would hit this price point with a vapor chamber

[tranquil pebble]

I watched some videos on that tech, it practically teleports heat

[grand kernel]

it's just good ol 6 heatpipes

[safe cape]

wireless everything

[grand kernel]

you used to get maximum 4 heatpipes single tower single fan at this price

[opaque sedge]

I have a wireless mouse and controller for now

Idk if i would be comfortable with a wireless keeb tho

[grand kernel]

air cooling is basically solved tech at this point

[safe cape]

why not

[tranquil pebble]

ig that works too

I once paid $80 for a single tower cooler with 1 heatpipe. I knew nothing about coolers at the time

[grand kernel]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik thats like stock cooler tier

if not worse

[grand kernel]

the 3700x stock cooler has 4 heatpipes

not quite a full tower of fins though

[safe cape]

OOF

[opaque sedge]

This was available on woot for 80 bucks for a while bfr 💀

[tranquil pebble]

and then I had one of these in 2009 on an i7 920

[opaque sedge]

That looks like one of those cleaning products on tiktok ads

[grand kernel]

on the subject of the wraith prism I think we do somewhat have AMD to thank for the rapid improvement of the air cooler market

when stock coolers were all jokes everyone who kinda cared but not really would just grab a hyper 212 cause that was good enough

once stock coolers became good enough something had to change

now a pa120 costs less than what a hyper 212 did back then

and it's twice the cooler that the hyper 212 was

[opaque sedge]

the macbook neos at my local microcenter got scalped 💀

[grand kernel]

and that's not even adjusting for inflation

[safe cape]

@tranquil pebble 60$ 💀

[grand kernel]

macbook neo is the first time I've been impressed by a macbook

[tranquil pebble]

we are truly in an era where nice things aren't allowed

[opaque sedge]

what brought about this scalper culture? the ps5 launch?

[grand kernel]

I mean this seems reasonable

it's a server cooler with 8 heatpipes and a much denser fin stack than mainstream desktop coolers

because servers don't care about noise and have much higher airflow

[tranquil pebble]

60 is actually cheap for that tbh

[grand kernel]

that thing is 1.5 kg lol

heavier than the pa120 while being more compact to fit in 4u

should give you an idea of the density

pa120 is 1.02kg or 750g without fans

[safe cape]

then macOS on ipad soon ?

[grand kernel]

hmm

I have an ipad and a dock for it that would be fun to play with

wonder if it would be too old to get that though

it's an m1 ipad

Eh its a general purpose device ngl, suitable for docs spreadsheets web browsing, according to reviews it can handle 2-3 apps open at once

no

maybe I should

[nocturne flicker]

You might find someone there

[opaque sedge]

I wonder if i could get a 9070 on a trade at hardware swap for my 4070super

[grand kernel]

honestly kinda want a macbook neo

to bring around for work stuff

I have a gaming laptop for 1 reason

[opaque sedge]

I would totally trade a 9070 for my 4070super cuz i am mega interested in building a bazzite pc

[grand kernel]

sometimes I travel for long enough that I have enough free time to game there

[nocturne flicker]

I have a gaming laptop for one reason. Doing taxes in a room other than my own

[grand kernel]

but the gaming laptop kinda sucks at being a laptop even with battery mod

[nocturne flicker]

I don't use it anymore

[grand kernel]

nvidia optimus is kinda terrible

[nocturne flicker]

I probably need to repaste at this point

[opaque sedge]

U guys have any idea on what i could do to put my extra 4070super to use other than selling it?

[grand kernel]

the dgpu turns on all the time when it shouldn't be needed and drains the hell out of the battery

[nocturne flicker]

Paperweight

[grand kernel]

theoretically I can squeeze 10 hours out of the battery with aggressive power limiting and nvidia optimus cooperating

[nocturne flicker]

Space heater

[grand kernel]

but it's very slow when I do that

slow enough that basic windows tasks/web browsing feels sluggish

[opaque sedge]

I was thinking of getting the 9850x3d bundle from micro and making a build with it and my 5080 and slapping back the 4070super with my current components but that would be expensive and the ssd pricings are absolutely barring me from doing so

[grand kernel]

I replaced the stock battery with a higher capacity one and did LM on CPU+GPU

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-burnt-peanut-burntpeanut-theburntpeanut-rage-tarkov-gif-12064530684685202490

[grand kernel]

and also replaced thermal interface on vram/vrms

so at the very least it can operate fully passively at idle

which is really nice

oh yeah the build quality is also crappy plastic and the keyboard is basically failing

it's only 5 years old but it's a real struggle to type on

like 8 of the keys have sensitivity issues

either double pressing or being hard to press

sucks cause the hardware inside is still fantastic

[opaque sedge]

Srsly tho is there nothing i can do cept making a pc out of it?

[grand kernel]

i7-11800H and RTX 3070

I vbios flashed the 3070 to 125W and used a bios trick to keep 140W dynamic boost permanently active

the bios also supports CPU and RAM OC which is amazing for a laptop

upgraded the ram to 32gb micron rev. e and OCed it

[grand kernel]

sell it lol

seems overkill to use for lossless scaling or whatever even if you have the physical clearance

[safe cape]

its the same they have same cpu now

[grand kernel]

ipad doesn't have a keyboard or a hinge to deal with

they're different devices

it's hilarious how far my laptop cpu can be pushed with LM

I can push enough power through it that the battery drains while it's plugged in

135W through a 45W TDP laptop chip

the 4 phase vrms start making funny noises under that much load

[safe cape]

lol

[grand kernel]

sounds like sparking

but the chip holds 4.6ghz all core @ 1.15v

stock is like 4.2ghz all core @ 1v

I will say now is probably a good time if you're trying to trade for radeon

a lot of rdna4 owners are dooming rn

Yeah saw the state of the subreddit 💀 gdc’s fsr diamond announcement really shook em

[nocturne flicker]

RDNA 4 bros dooming about not getting a new version of FSR, brother I just spent $200 on eol ASUS routers, actual cry babies

And they can't handle probably not getting a new version of an optional software feature

Least they still have driver updates, meanwhile I'm sitting on 'stable drivers'

[opaque sedge]

Genuinely ngl if they really wanted to play ray traced and path traced games that bad, nvidia was the only option since like the 40 series

They bet on upcoming features and support to be met with disappointment

[nocturne flicker]

The graphics obsession is a cancer on modern DIY

No better than the console wars obsession

[opaque sedge]

Omg console wars reminds since rammagedon started those buffoons have become even more insufferable

[nocturne flicker]

I wish we could just go back to universally demanding cheaper tech rather than crying over not having a specific version of fake frames and fake resolutions

[opaque sedge]

Its all cuz of ngreedia they somehow convinced the market on the importance of specific niche tech features and managed to induce fomo on em

[grand kernel]

I mean amd made promises they haven't kept

its really tonedeaf to announce a new fsr tech when the previous 3 you announced still barely exist

[opaque sedge]

Yeah true

[grand kernel]

and it's insane how short the support is for these radeon cards

7900xtx owners already being treated like 750ti owners lol

[opaque sedge]

💀

[grand kernel]

who knows if my 9070xt is getting anything new

[opaque sedge]

Man ngl i do actually feel bad for people who bought xtx’s for 1 grand

[grand kernel]

wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no

[opaque sedge]

Other than redstone stuff on like a couple games this year, I wouldn’t expect much ngl

[grand kernel]

idk man RT/PT actually looks incredible

[opaque sedge]

Oh yeah i have a clip of pt cyberpunk on my pc

[grand kernel]

it's 100% worth the effort when done correctly

without it we're basically stuck at 2017 graphics forever lol

[opaque sedge]

It was pretty cool but i played cyberpunk so much i cant do another playthru even with pt

[nocturne flicker]

2017 graphics are good

[grand kernel]

feels like raster graphics pretty much plateaued at 2017

[opaque sedge]

2017 graphics are good tho

[grand kernel]

I mean yeah

games from 2017 still look good

[opaque sedge]

Look at death stranding 1 then re2 and 3 remake

[grand kernel]

but good RT/PT implementations blow 2017 graphics out of the water

[nocturne flicker]

And blow out budgets and hardware requirements

[opaque sedge]

Wish they would just focus on giving us more rendered frames ngl

Console users would have seen the gloriousness of a 120fps too

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-breaking-bad-better-call-saul-gun-heisenberg-gif-27155752

[grand kernel]

plus eventually RT/PT will just replace raster for newer games

since it's easier on the devs than prebaked lighting

but yeah the transition period is gonna be real long and the current circumstances are not helping lol

[opaque sedge]

Rtgi is cool but man doom the dark ages’ performance was a bit dissapointing its still significantly better than most aaa ue5 slop but man

[grand kernel]

honestly don't think more than like 90 fps matters at all if it's not a competitive game

[bitter ridge]

All that just from a denoiser is wild

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-krabs-spongebob-rabid-foam-mouth-gif-12914290795242109833

I need that game now

I cant focus on shit

[grand kernel]

I'm enjoying cyberpunk with RT at 90 fps more than without RT at like 200 fps or whatever

[opaque sedge]

Pt looks even more insane on cyberpunk

[grand kernel]

and I've been very highly ranked in competitive games

[opaque sedge]

Way cleaner shadows

[grand kernel]

so it's not just boomer eyes

yeah sadly PT is still borked on radeon

pink tracing

I tried PT cyberpunk when I had my 4080

[opaque sedge]

Yeah no denoiser really blows

[grand kernel]

I was actually stopping gameplay to just stand there and take screenshot sometimes bc of how good it looked

oh it's worse than that

there's texture issues and game crashes when using PT

[opaque sedge]

[grand kernel]

been in the known issues section of radeon driver release notes for like a year or more idk

[bitter ridge]

90-120 without frame gen is usually my target and frame gen on top of that for more fluidity

[grand kernel]

to me there's no diff between 90 and 240 in a single player game

like absolutely 0

[opaque sedge]

I wish i played cyberpunk with rt on my 4070super tho, rt ultra with quality or balanced upscaling for a 60fps experience would definitely have been possible then slap on frame gen

[grand kernel]

but yeah the 90 has to be without frame gen

60 without frame gen is still fine and enjoyable

[opaque sedge]

I just optimized settings and played on raster 💀

For like

500 hrs

[grand kernel]

I play a marksman build on cyberpunk too

aim matters

[opaque sedge]

Now i cant muster up the energy to play it with pt

Which why i wanna play crimson desert so bad

I could play re requiem but i still have to beat re4 first

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

[bitter ridge]

I forgot if rdna 3 can use ray regeneration or is that exclusive to 4 as well

[grand kernel]

lol

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[grand kernel]

even rdna4 can't use it

good luck finding games that support it

it's a theoretical feature

[opaque sedge]

Rdna3 is locked out of official fsr4 support, there was a leaked dll for a version that works on rdna 3 and 2 and the open source community made a tool known as optiscaler available which injects fsr4 onto games with dlss. Rdna 4 users are using optiscaler for games without official fsr4 support as well. And ray regeneration is currently only available on cod bo7 💀. Support for fsr redstone has been abysmal

[grand kernel]

there's a reason why amd only advertises games that support "one or more" fsr redstone features

if they published a list of games that support ray regeneration

yup

that list has 1 single game on it

[bitter ridge]

That is just crazy

[grand kernel]

and idk about you but I'm not interested in cod

I'm not bothered enough to go trying to trade my 9070xt for an nvidia card but my next card is looking more likely to be nvidia

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the shadow details are insane

[grand kernel]

anyways the 9070xt I snagged is white and I did a full white build around it so trading would be a real pain

would have to find a white nvidia card lol

[opaque sedge]

Like typically most people would say rt doesn’t have any apparent visual changes other than reflections but in this game ray tracing effects are gonna be apparent even outside of reflections

[grand kernel]

people who say RT does nothing haven't seen a game that does it well

it's really not subjective

argument was valid in 2018 but not 2026
