Oh yeah that is nice. I wish I had a way to make the 2 hour trip id buy that too lol
Im dumb. I thought 7600x3D was new but I was thining of 9600x3D
I hope it isn't micro center exclusive when it does release
Ancient Gameplays got it working also on rdna3 gpus using Mesa in Linux or something. He has some videos covering it in detail
Basically emulating fp16 with fp8 on Linux or something like that. Idk im not familiar with any of that
Not sure that it is worth using in its current state
His XTX video is wrong
Was that the first one? I think he made newer video correcting himself
Idk i only briefly watched them
Yea the newer is right just Games get much better visuals with FSR4 even if you only gain 10FPS.
Its kinda Worth it TLOU1 looks better than TAA and Ofc our worst game Stalker 2
I notice I cant use official fsr4 toggle in stalker 2. Guessing bc its game pass version. But usually they say "unable to add to adrenalin. No permission" stalker 2 added but no fsr4 option. So I use optiscaler
But even then, it is doing the same thing oblivion remaster does. If i use anything other than fsr native AA, I turn and foliage gets very noisy artifacts for a second then disappear
That happens with fsr4 toggle in adrenalin and with OptiScaler
Which 9060 ? 16 or 8GB ?
BTW, i hope they fix that with redstone
PC hardware market starts to suck a lot because of comercial wars between countries started by that idiotic Trump.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/7?tab=description do you guys recomend this mod? "Optimized Tweaks S.2 - Reduced Stutter Improved Performance Lower Latency Better Frametimes" i don't want to break the game
but some extra fps would be welcome on high density npc zones
Also is there any tips for nvidia control panel settings?
They sucked even before that
16 ofc
im currently playing on a 3060 6gb laptop
Memory leak is stil s thing
after what time playing is noticeable¿
Depends on where u are, at open empty field probably not for a while, at rostok probably not long after. But it also dpends on ur graphics
i remember when the game come out i was having those mem issues at garbage main camp but since i restarted my save i'm not sure if this issue still
No not really except some here had problems with the RAM
Im not sure, ive been playing it religiously after the patch, maybe that why
Could the virtual memory fix those issues? i didn't notice this issue but recently i edit my virtual memory capacity amount about 10 gb
No not really helps only if your normal ram is full. Virtual memory is also much slower so not really for gaming
i was thinking about some kind of caché game would have to load some extra textures but i'm not sure how this work so probably not relevant enough
I just started death stranding. Pretty salty it only has FXAA or TAA as native options. Xess, fsr and NIS all only upscale. No native AA options. Wonder if OptiScaler works for this
Not as much as now, and it will be even worst, just wait.
I played for 5 hours straight on stalker 2 day of patch 1.5 and didnt get memory leak or any issues at all. Not even a stutter. I didnt try to go back to the spot I had memory leak at either though
Memory leak fix ? can that be true 
I doubt it honestly. They said they fix it before and not even close lol
I remember when you could not even get a GPU. That was worse. But yea it could get worse than 2021/22
Dude, just think about it, more expensive chips, more expensive memories such SSD, VRAM and RAM, more expensive rare metals to create componets... all the hardware prices will be inflate because of taxes and tariffs between countries. All will be extrema expensive in the years to come.
💀 🔥
Nuh uh not for me. I get the Samsung chips anyway. Good that i am no in the US 🙂
Yah but Samsung chips are the worst now vs Micron or even Hynix, you did not read the news about it in video cards of today ?
Well hynix is in Korea i think
idk man now the game feels better
anyways, just a game, i have 20 games installed now that i play 😄
The Video is 12 days old
Now we got some A life and guns are better. Sound is better too but thats more beta than Finished game.
To me the worst game i seen and wait to get better was Scum, a online "survival" game who end up a toatal tragedy game.
The game even at his final version seems like not even a beta game, more like a alpha state game full of bungs and clucky AI.
Stalker 2 is years ahead of that trash game 😄
So what i wanted to say is it can be even worse.
truer
Should I buy bundle 7800x3D + MSI MAG B650 THK WF for $599
IDK man you buy what you want i am not the one to talk over your money if you feel is a good deal take it
ITs not cheaper than buying both together
Would it be worth even getting 7800x3D with my current cpu?
380€ here for the CPU and 180€ for the mobo
what CPU ?
i5-13600KF
I Guess not. I bet you can survive till Zen7
They have another bundle that has 7800x3D + MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi for $629
Micro Center bundles
you are fine man, not even worth getting 9800X3D with that CPU
usually CPUs upgrades worth after 5 years or so
is not like GPUs to get one at 2-3 years
Ive only had this one since Novmeber 2024 but a few games it just seems like it doesnt perform that well
I think im addicted to spending money on pc stuff
Maybe buy better Monitor or something
you do not want to become me to have 3800X; 5800X, 5800X3D and 9800X3D 😄
You can get Oled for that much money
Not worth it?
Oh yeah man right after I got my AOC mini led...they launch the UPDATED MODEL 😂🤦♂️
AOC q27g40xmn I think. Has like triple the dimming zones
I got 4 DIMS of DDR5, 64GB, my X380 mob did not support all 4 DIMS at full speed of 6000 MHz, send back 2 sticks got money back, and now ASUA just made a bios to support 4 DIMS at over 6000 MHz speed --- F M L

Was upgrade from r5 3600 to r7 7700 worth it?
idk i did not had those CPUs
Yes the 3600 is pretty much outdated my friend has it and he can only play 90 FPS in COD What maybe is not low but it also drops much into the 60.
What i like about my TCL QD Mini LED 34" panel is that is Fast HVA with over 1100 dimming zones with a panel who can do over 1400 nits for HDR (far brighter than any OLED on market).
I mean you can game on it even with sun light directly to your monitor with no problems 😄
You do not need dark room to have good image quality
witch i found dumb for OLDS
Reason: Bad word usage
Mine is 1150 nits only 336 dimming zones. But the updated model is 1200 nits 1152 dimming zones. Same 1440p 180hz 27" as mine. Roughly same price under $300
RTNGS I read says SDR is a lot better on mine and the updated model has worse VRR flicker and Black smearing. But heck id be okay with that in exchange for 1152 dimming zones and 1200 nits
same optimization
yeah 1152 dimming's zones is mine too as the updated version but more nits is HDR 1400 (1600 pike). My VRR is perfect no flikers or black smearing.
that is of Fast HVA not VA panel simple and flat.
I guess i got lucky. I am reading a bunch of "monitor lottery" with these AOC models. Depends on when it was manufactured i guess there is firmware issues that cause smearing and flicker and other things. Mine has been perfect though. Only thing is I get halo effect around light color objects with black background
Just get the TCL is better.
Is it $270?
Idk how much is where you live
TCL is king on QD mini LED tech now. They push this tech on the market.
TCL 34R83Q ?
@hollow kettle here is the side of what they have on the market now as monitors, they use to make TV only but they now make monitors too and they are amazing so far - https://www.tcl.com/global/en/monitors
That is mine, is ultra wide
This one? It says HDR 1600 170hz https://www.tcl.com/global/en/monitors/34r83q
Oh wait nvm it says HDR 1600 then below it says VESA Certified Display HDR 1400
ESA Certificated Display HDR 1400 but yeah they push it up to 1600 but the certification is 1400 probably stable or idk maybe is not highert than that
I know their TVs are HDR 3000
So the QD mini LED tech can go much higher than 1400, duble 😄
It says Currently Unavailable my region
Damn... that's a shame
Those are the best QD mini LEDs gaming monitors on the market right now
i seen what AOC, ACER has... not as good
I checked up on it and it says they are only available in Europe and Asia and also TCL representatives stated they have no interest entering PC peripherals market
So sadly I dont think it'll ever come to USA
Hey is 16 GB of DDR3 w a i5 Good enough I know very little about computers
DDR3 so like haswell or skylake i5?
Pro tip: Say the full CPU name instead vague i5 since that is as useful as saying "its got cpu in it"
There is about 100 different i5 cpu's
Mb I don't know too much and I already completely powered it down and it takes forever to start up so I'm not going to check again however I do remember using this thing around a 2017 it's definitely got age to it
Hello
Any mod for play S2 on rtx 4050 (laptop)
Here max 30/40 fps on default settings
For 60 fps
Takes forever to start up so i take it it doesnt have SSD. Cant say you would be having good times with Stalker 2
I try many mods, but nothing working properly
The game run 60 fps+ only when i enable the Framegen option on game settings.
But with freezings
Runs out of vram
Dont think there is much you can do other then accept fate
It might have been replaced with an SSD it just has a bunch of stuff on startup I had to disable the BIOS time was like 16 seconds I think it said
Only thing that makes me a little annoyed is when I try to play less demanding games like unturned the screen's all fuzzy for some reason. Do you know what's up with that could this be due to my GPUs age
Wrong resolution in settings?
Frame gen adds like 1gb extra or more and stalker being stalker its already taxing enough for 6gb cards
I'll check that out thank you but yeah when I go to play other games like Roblox and world of warships it runs perfectly fine I don't know. It's weird I've mostly been playing on my series s The only reason I'm caring now is because of some PC exclusive games And stalker mods also, I've been meaning to check out a game called forever winter it's similar to stalker or at least in terms of it being in the same genre of looter shooter
That’s how it works still don’t know why they put 6gb in anything
I mean putting more vram on card like that is like putting make up on pig

And probably physically impossible since die is already anorexic
Well DLSS FG anyway FSR FG is like 100mb (at 1080p)
I dont know how much DLSS FG uses at 1080p
And honestly dont even care since i think FG is pointless gimmick
vsync level input lag makes it unplayable
48GB 7200MT/S cl34 DDR5 that would still be good latency for that high of clock right?
Reflex 😁
u n p l a y a b l e
Look up what CPU can support
Also that is just heresy. Its either 32 or 64 smh
DDR5 5600MT/s 😂 I already have 6000MT/s 🤔
48gb cheaper than 64 and I feel it is good middle ground idk. I want to start getting into light AI creation stuff
Reason: Bad word usage
Heresy
??? I didnt even say anything bad
16 -> 32 -> 64 thats how it is
I just found another 32gb kit 6000 cl28 !
Cant have youth introduce new heretical ways
And its gold plated 😂 silver plated option also
G.Skill?
Yeah
Fairly certain they discontinued that already
Idk its on Amazon $150
What is left but they wont make new kits
Fanciest ram i ever seen lol
Affirm sent me notification -5% APR for order $500+. This is a sign to buy 9800x3D bundle
Probably tightest ram out of the box out there
Be sharp when choosing x870 motherboard
m.2 slots are screwed on those
It will take forever trying to find a motherboard with every spec I currently have/need
Might as well look at B850 boards
And hope that one is part of a bundle lol I guess i could just pick one out and add both items to cart to order at same time and get the deal still
As i recall only difference between B850 and X870 is that X forces USB 4
Which screwes with m.2 slots
Yeah people told me am5 boards aren't like intel where you have to get Z to OC and stuff
Funny aint it?
Some bs really 😂
I would have probably blown my cpu up by now if I had OC options 😂
Nah Intel does it for you
That is true (same for AM4)
Sorry, you just triggered wolf when you said 50$
It's just related to scam links and wolf can not differentiate based on context
Here is your message:
"Guess 64 would be better there its just so expensive. Can get 48 for like $50 less"
No no. Even the bot recognized the heresy and decided to act

I got an EVGA 3080 XC3, i5 13600kf, z790 gaming x ax mobo, 32gigs ddr5 6400mhz cl36, 750 watt PSU
does this game support 144hz
under monitor resolution it doesn't specify what refresh rate it's running at and in game its stuttering
It does
it didn't mention 144 anyware in the options
You’ll have to either set a manual framerate limiter through NVCP or Adrenalin, or turn on VSYNC
By default S2 only has options for 30,60,120 and 240 FPS limits
Refresh rate not fps limit
Game runs at whatever refresh rate your panel is set to, stuttering and screen tearing can only be resolved either by divided FPS limits or using VRR/VSYNC
Doesn't work like that
Eh tell it to him. Asked specifically about refresh rate
^ Game uses the RR defined here, there are no refresh rates tied to resolution options in the settings menu nor the configs
Probably since DX12 doesnt support exclusive fullscreen so its kinda moot option
DX12 running eFSE just takes your monitor's RR, which is why the only real way to limit stuttering/screen tearing is limiting FPS (divided and/or close to RR) or VRR/VSYNC
i have capped my fps to 240
On a 144hz panel? With what specs?
4070 founders
r 75800x3d
32gb ram ddr4 3600mhz
SSD
Cap your FPS to 5-10 FPS below what you achieve on average. The stuttering you're experiencing is from your frame rate jumping up and down massively.
tbh i don't know what frame rate im achieving
and im sceptical that i would help when going into populated areas
You can use Steam overlay's build in FPS gauge, as for the populated areas, if you achieve a stable 60 there for example, i'd just limit it to 60.
im on 144hz 60 looks like a PowerPoint
Going to have to play around with settings in that case to try and achieve a higher frame rate (base) and then throw FG + Reflex into the mix.
ill play with the settings but I'm really not a fan of frame gen
Id be real surprised if youre getting much more than 60 depending on your settings. If youre on low or maybe medium I can see it. Or if you have FG on
im genuinely developing a hatred for ue5
wow asus mob X870 last bios says i can't backup to older bios if i install it, is permanent 
so if i update and something gose wrong i am fukt...

im getting min of 70 and max of 107
thats not in populated areas
what settings impact's performance the most
Hair, view distance, and post processing from my experience, although that may differ for your card specifically
Just got a memory leak crash, RAM at 100%, fuk man the game still not fix, still random crash because of memory leak even with 1.5 update, they did nothing to fix this.

well... at least is not always is random, can work 5 hrs no crash, can work 20 min and crash...
but the problem not fix, still there.
Just buy a AC 
Imagine no AC 
Now i play the game for 2hrs with no crash, dude this game is weird
Undercolk you GPU,
and cap your fps
You guys have a AC? 
Would be nice best game with all the stuff on Max so RT too. Is Warthunder and that game i can cap to 75FPS with 120W-200W usage. Not bad but still no matter the Power draw My room gonna be always Hot 
Is it a Anomaly?
s2
It's what I do man
I limite my fps, I use Radeon chill
I also did the arena thing in rostock vs the chimera. I hit every bulled and suddenly was out ouf ammo. It was just a Insane Tanker.
AC?
Air Conditioner 
Well AC never invented for him 
No I d'ont have one
It’s a shame I still can’t manage to make the game work without random crashes
I tried all the settings
Can someone please help Me.
This is my favorite game all time I have it sinds day one but gets ruined by crashes.
what are your specs ?
Windows 11
Radeon RX 6800 XT
AMD RYzen 7 7700X 8-core processor 4.50 GHz
32 GB RAM
all drivers up to date
what area are you crashing in
its completly random
does not have to do with "large population "
you guys think FSR on or off?
I tried lowering the settings dramatically, it even seemed to crash more then…
Just can’t find the issue
windows 12 ? : D
Lol 11
whats your RAM speed ?
Bios up to date?
Also how is the crash?
VRAM1
16368 MB
GDDR6 2000 MHz
when playing at some point (can be 30 min in or 3H) the game just stops working and the popup apears of unreal engine crash report
bios not up to date, i am a bit scared of doing that, maybe there is no reason
but there is a message that says if not necessary dont do it, and as all other games work fine ...
Do you got outages in your area often ?
Heat?
i dont recall the message
what is outages
Also can you maybe record it and right before the game crashes make a foto of task manager?
Do one where you opened the GPU in task manager.
So we can see the vram capacity
Electrical outages
no i dont
Like do you have any overhearing components
ok ill do so ill come back with some material tommorow
Then it’s totally save to update the bios
Like are they too hot
CPU shouldn’t go over 95C and GPU 110*C
no they dont
Just then send tomorrow the pic of task manager
yes, thank you all so much for the help
CPU under 80C is fine and GPU under 65C is fine
isnt gpu under 80 is also fine?
Damn can’t imagine living without AC let alone in my own HOUSE
we don't really where i live. the temps don't go that high usually.
Where do ya live
DK, EU
i dont have ac, but i have lovely 35-40C summer
I only get memory leak if I go to one specific area on map. So far at least. Problem is, other people get memory leak in certain areas that all can be different. Makes no sense at all lol
What is DK? I know Donkey Kong 
RAM speed ?

This was fix for this bro
Is it possible in any way for the game to trun on an rtx 3050 4gb
Ive worked 10h shitfts for 4 months on a construction site back in 2022 to be able to afford my pc just to play stalker back in 2022 before the first delay
now i cant even run it ive tried every optimization tool on nexus but i always keep getting 5-7 fps after like 10 min of gameplay and im out of ideas
Ive been following every update since launch and so far no update fixed the massive fps drops after like 10 min
There really are none to my knowledge that would allow you to play it comfortably on a 4GB card, unfortunately
Maybe he has rent, family, food, others consumabile to pay in real life.
3$ per hour pay and rent is more then half my monthly paycheck
3 bucks? In what country
Seriously? That bad? I would not even get out of the bed for that. Been working the industry for over 20 years
its either that or go homeless
so yeah getting that 3050 was quite the achivement fo me
But as Ronin said.. Shit out of luck trying to get 3050 run Stalker 2
What about second hand 3060 12gb there?
im on a laptop because im constantly moving between cities so i cant change it
so i cant switcch graphics
Imagine if they still made laptops with MXM sockets
That's unfortunate then. All you can do is use mod for "potato" config should be runnable @unkempt cliff
thing is is bought the laptop in 2022 before the whole thing that caused the game to be delayed
already tried my man like i said ive been following the updates since release
and mods
its heartbreaking af ngl considering ive been playing stalker since i was like 10 and i even got the tattoo now i cant even play it xd
Simply, S2 is not meant to be played on 4gb vram. Hell, my 4070ti struggles sometime at high settings with dlss, without FG is unplayable for me, power point...
well when it was supposed to release in 2022 it was different
Such is life. At least there are lots of mods, good one, to play until this mess is fixed. Sretno 🙂
Hvala batice
Probably beta or alpha in UE4 in 2022 would run better than this yea hahah
this game seems to be more cpu dependant
im able to achieve up to 110 fps without ffr
It also looked much worse 
does sharpness affect performance
No.
what are the main performance hungery options
Foliage, textures, and global illumination I think
does view distance help
because npcs are only rendered in 100m bubble
@plucky quail does render distance affect fps?
why would it be a setting if it didnt ?
early benchmarks said it had no affect
Using engine ini file to push trees a bit only to fix ugly popups kills 20fps
yeah, well, thats what you get with LOD's
Not as much as the other settings and even on highest it still has crazy popups probrems (unless you edit the ini yourself)
what texture settings do you run
Medium/high should be good for +8gb of vram
on a 12gb card could it be pushed to ultra
My friends with their 4080s and 4070ti super leave it at high cause they are scared of memory leaks but sure why not
there seems to be no performance hit high - ultra
but i lowered shadows from high to medium to reduce stress on cpu
Usually textures never have an impact on performance anyway
They just eat more vram
on an 8GB card it should be low
unless you plan on running out of VRAM every time you get to a settlement
I use medium and I usually have a good framerate but in settlements they like drop for 2 minutes but then resume to normal
So if 8GB is basically the minimum nowadays, what’s the best amount of vram to have then
12 minimum 16 recomended
best is 32 
Useless unless you are doing rendering or ai stuff

not so sudden
its been trending up for a while
12 is recommended really, 16 is the sweetspot
8 is minimum for 2023-24 games
its still the best 
you are even not using 50% of 32 Gb
its still the best 
I mean I could play gta 5 in 4k with 3GB
Now I need 16 gb to play stalker!?
I could also play forza horizon 4 with just 3GB
on low ? sure.
found this article : https://domipheus.com/blog/why-fps-matters-when-comparing-upscaling-quality/
i think im just gonna post this whenever someone doesnt understand upscalers
Nah I had it on at least high or medium
then you were 100% having sh"ty textures
Nuh uh
I think I was playing at 1080p though
(cuz, IIRC FH4 uses DX 11 which just forgets about textures that dont fit in VRAM)
(thus, atrocious textures, good performance)
Why does Nvidia sell 8GB cards then bruh
That shit is a SCAM
cuz the avarage consumer has no clue and they'll keep buying it
then when their game runs like ass they blame the devs and NVIDIA reputations perfect
That’s…me 
and 99% of this server : D
i have shadow quality, textures, view distance set to high everything else low
fsr is set to aa native and my sharpness is 71%
is there anything i can do to improve performance?
You have upscaling at native?
he's just applying FSR's AA instead of TAA (FSR's AA has more shimmer but isnt a vaseline fest of garbage)
you dont think thats overshapened ?
FSR AA itself is close to oversharpened IMO,
what would you set it at?
I wouldn’t go above 40-50 imo
It isnt. The 3070 had also not enough Vram and it showed some years ago. With that GPU you cant turn everything to it appropriate Graphics setting since its getting out of Vram.
Right you are using 24GB with all the stuff Nvidia has to offer.
I use no sharpening unless i turn on frame gen. And even then only 10-25% depending on the game
Well, I do have Radeon image sharpening set to 20% in adrenalin. Then i usually set games to 0%
also have this reflex off setting bug after 1.5 patch, in config file it is "on" but ingame is off, so im confused what to set ingame) because maybe when i set ingame on it is off in config and in general xd(
If you have 8gb vram and youre experiencing stutters or not smooth fps try lowering texture quality to low or medium. It'll free up some vram
Matter of fact, watch this video. Use these settings as a guide. This guy is truly a legend
https://youtu.be/814y2OPLsX0?si=JzIOn1Dxw9mcLjrO
I used to use his settings for every game with a few changes for my own preference. His settings never did me wrong
hes the first guy i watched when it came to optimization
i found this guide which should be more useful
https://youtu.be/_BLvaF8xrnI?si=Nm_11FruDQWyuI0N
i have sharpness at 30 and i feel like its oversharpened lmao
can anybody at least tell me why the game constantly locks to 2 fps after reloading a save or dying
I am using DLSS 4 version 310.3.1 which slice the VRAM usage at CNN level working as Transformers quality level.
Which is crazy how advanced Nvidia has become even vs AMD FSR 4
nothings really changed since FSR 4 came out
@hollow kettle https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-6-3.html
seems that some bugs with FSR 4 have been fixed with this driver
i just told you what has change what do you mean explain

you mean nothing change with FSR or what ?
with either technology ?
its like a very minor update for DLSS so i dont get what the fuss's about
minor ? that is huge in memory usage, when they put DLSS 4 transformers the VRAM increased now they lower the memory usage and bump the quality, that is good for people with 8GB GPUs 
for me did not change a lot, but for some did change a lot
Reason: Bad word usage
oh, yes, saying "sh'ite" is a such a crime
something like this back to CNN VRAM usage.
pleb stop cursing
Wow nice
as someone that did VRAM consumption tests, i know how inacurate they can be so im not gonna go along with it changing VRAM usage THAT MUCH
but i dont wanna argue about this (no energy.)
it change around 200 - 300 MB less depends on the scene, but when you have 8GB that matters A LOT
For that people would not report 5FPS cuz i bet all of them are already using CNN what is anyways using less.
8GB people are still same amount screwed as before.
well, unless DLSS TRN was causing a memory leak before it really doesnt make sense how an upscaler would use that much VRAM to begin with...
DLSS TRN causing a memory leak where ?
i meant that it could've used way more VRAM before than it actually needed,
anyway
yeah well AI learn to use less now was trained well by Nvidia servers 😄

i wanna see how much VRAM FSR,XeSS,TAA,TSR use over no AA
I bet there is a video about it on tube
just cuz im curious
i also doubt it will be more than 10mb
i bet there is not.
YK, the VRAM usage of upscalers isnt something people tend to talk about since its mostly irrelevant
wanna bet ? i give you 2 mutans bones for that 😄
Humor
what upscaler uses the least vram
FSR 3 becasue was almost nothing good 😄
You better run without it TAA by how shet was looking till FSR 4
does view distance do anything?
FSR 3.1 was better than TAA if thats what you're suggesting
was better?
well, FSR 3.1 AA VS TAA yes, absolutely
even the quality preset could sometimes ouperform TAA due to just how terrible TAA can be in some games
FSR 3 variation was never good you better use Intel XESS in that case.
bruh, i started satisfactory (cuz in SF you can use no AA) VRAM usage started off at 2563mb now its at 2954mb even though i have the same settings an im in the exact same spot LMFAO
yeah, thats where we are gonna have to disagree
for me XeSS is just always way too blurry
FSR 1, 2, 3 not being at level of XeSS and DLSS was what kill AMD Radeon GPU seals for gaming.
Intel had good upscaler but slow GPUs, and even they did better upscaler than AMD for years till this year when FINALLY for GOD sake AMD made FSR 4
while FSR is nice and sharp, sure there are some artifacts but i cant recall the last time that FSR 3.1 AA was worse than TAA
Dude FSR blow 4 is pure shet let's be honest here.
ugh...
I never like it and that keep me away from AMD GPUs for years.
Finally they made a worthy FSR 4, finally dumb... fu...s
there's more to it than that,
look, i dont think you ever actually used FSR / XeSS
Dude AMD just do not know how to win vs Nvidia for many years
XESS als those Artefacts that dont look good and have more blurr.
i have, and there hasnt been a single game where i overall prefred XeSS over FSR
because you did not use a Intel GPU
Who does?
XESS works just as DLSS and FSR 4, only good on Intel GPUs
okay, well no one has tested XeSS XMX since HUB like 4/3 years ago when XeSS first came out so, mute point
Even in 20 series DLSS 1 cause AMD does not have Upscaler and so dont buy it?
Who dose FSR 4 now ? I still do not see RX 9070/9070XT in steam survey use by gamers, who buys this cards ? Had a discussion already with Pleb here about it.
We still do not know who gets them
i have a feeling not gamers and more AI prosumers
you seriously think people would buy AMD for AI ??? bruh
If is cheap they will why not
you know that the steam hardware survey is VERY INACURATE right ?
Steam is a vague list. Also there is a Huge marked of Prebuilds how many people buy it. I mean you see that there is no thinking when buying it. We got many user maybe the most with New 8GB cards. Its not that they watch a video about it.
okay, now XeAA was using less VRAM than No AA this is such a terrible idea.
Hey do not argue with me, read this instead, i have no energy to argue - https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1l30k7m/did_everyone_lie_about_getting_a_9070xt/ 
ahhh, reddit. the shinning light of reason.
all internet is asking who is buying this if gamers go for Nvidia 😄

reddit has more time to argue than us
Stupid people i guess like it always was and maybe will.
anyway, normally there is NOT an appreciable difference for VRAM usage between upscalers.
end of storry
I would rather wait till a good survey is out and not the Steam one.
yhea I mean
wait you saying stupid people buy those AMD cards ? 
its not worth it using any upscaler]
I get more FPS without any upscaler than with it
Just buy a CRT monitor and play at 1080p all games just fine 😄
No stupid people buy uninformed Prebuilds with the market full of Nvidia GPUs in it.
Image quality will always be Subjective, (to a degree) while i might prefer FSR 3.1 over XeSS for its sharpness while someone else might like XeSS more becuase of its better fine detail reconstruction
i hope that caps it off
problem is all streamers use Nvidia and people like sheeps buy what gamer streamers use, Nvidia best free ads there.
you a sharper fool ? 😄

The look at the steam Survey shows already with majority of people bought the 4060.
im a which do i prefer overall ? fool.
fool or sucker i call it when you like something bad for one thing only
like me bad games if they have good graphics
🙄 🤦♂️
I think we've been spending too much time together
im gonna go watch Arrow season 4

Hey FSR 1,2,3 is sharper that's it you a sucker for that vs XESS ?
also more stable and less shimmery and less ghosty sometimes.
but i ran out of energy, bye.
😭
Might be but many people i see also buy stuff from Mediamarkt what has stupid cooler that are 50mm air cooled with a 9700X and a 4060TI 8gB. There are many people that buy that shit. There is no information given if it will run games in 2Years.
I never buy hardware from weird places.
BTW,is it just me or is season 4 actually like 3 times less enjoyablethan season 3 ?
Like the biggest electronic store here? Its just the worst place other dont get much better.
We also have big store here of hardware but i do NEO reserch on internet when i buy hardware to mange to get the best parts at the chepest prices even if i buy for 20 places for one PC 😄
I once manged to cut 1000 euro for the same PC parts if had to buy from one place.
Yea 99% dont do that they buy a PC for their sons or themself without checking. They maybe ask the seller how good it is OFC he gonna say its great and so they buy it.
and that's who they get rich by taking advantage on people who do not know how to buy PC parts.
well... i did that too but you never heard that 😄

Even on PC dedicated stores they got too bad Prebuilds like again some 4060 or TI with a 5600X or something. Again just really cheap products like Mobo, Case or even RAm with 5200mhz.
hey i must go resoft my car ECU i almost forgot damn... got the tools and forgot to do it 
huh,
a few weeks ago the 9060 XT was only 10% cheaper than the 5060 TI in my region
but now its 17% cheaper, and now its below MSRP.
the 9070's have also gone below MSRP
(or 25% cuz there's a *used * 9060 XT on sale)
For anyone that wants to know what CPU you need for stalker in 12.3.2025
im not sure, but i think it was trying to make part of german luftwaffe or something like this
Me
Steam has never sent me hardware survey in all 12 years I've had an account
There was an article written claiming AMD shipped over 200,000 9070xt & 9070 as of march 19th...but i think the article was taken down later. So idk if it is true
Yeah they are citing benchlife which is the article that was taken down shortly after they posted it
I guess AMD told them no sales figure was actually mentioned at that event
Intel big battlemage woooooo
I read that article on videocardz, where also says due the inflate prices at AMD cards mostly sits on the store shelves with no buyers attention, so there is my answer why i am not see this cards at gamers in Steam Survey.

Well, on launch day and a week or so after they were available for msrp mostly. I think they sold out their stock for most part in that time. Doesn't help that they actually wanted to charge like $699 and $599 originally iirc. Something like that
Can't remember the video I saw talking about that but I want to say it was GN or HUB
But also this cards from what i'm reading still have this problems https://packaged-media.redd.it/f0t26hcaofpe1/pb/m2-res_1920p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1751389200&s=4ce81ee4df422c68bba0021cb346953c57a0f3d1
I know i had the same problems with R9 290 and RX 5700XT and after years i see users posting same problems on 9070XT... i mean... this is ridiculous.
Steam Survey is picking up RDNA4 as Integrated Graphics.

The heck why would i do that
Good question, me and a few others on a tech related sever discovered the issue. Unsure as to how widespread it is or what the cause. I’m on a 7900xtx so RDNA3, I’m unable to test it myself but I’ve seen several confirmed cases of this happening.
what they wanted to charge originally is irrelevant.
No they said only the initial stock would be priced at that lower msrp. Or so I heard anyway. Guess I haven't seen any actual source of them saying that. Only on YouTube
same sort of thing could happen on an NVIDIA card too no ?
also, it sure as shit aint the majority
Yes even monitoring software has been showing my 9070 as integrated unless they updated their software
well, IDK, but in my region RDNA 4 is below MSRP now.
not as much as Lackwell but it is
current gen ? yeah
well good for you
though the 9070's are only like 1-5% below MSRP
the 5070 is like WAAAYYY below
MSRP is 698€ but its like 587€
much better deal than the 9070.
all RTX 40 cards except the 4060 are above MSRP
isnt 5070`s msrp 550$?
(we have 27% tax here so thats why MSRP is so high here)
@past escarp blame EU. 
ukraine is not in eu 
what makes you think im in ukraine ?
my prices are bad

your are actually good
oh you wrote prices in euros, idk why i thought that you wrote themn in pounds

we have cheapest 5070 in about 640$
idk where exactly you are from but still eu prices is not that bad
well, in dollars its actually 692$ here.
that sounds not that good as it weas in euros\
fun fact: in my currency the cheapest 5070's price is 6 digit long 
right ?
where are you from then?
which joke? now i want to know
ohhhh thank god you dont know 
or maybe you do but you dont know that cuz of my comment 
that your hungry or what? idk what joke you are refering
25.6.3 optional driver claims to have fixed texture flickering in oblivion remastered with fsr4
yeah, that "joke"
oh
Actually, it just says it fixed texture flickering in general in oblivion
i hope they also fix the weird bugs with foliage in UE games
Im installing these drivers gonna test in oblivion and stalker
cuz its really weird and annoying
i hope it wont be a problem in satisfactory cuz i really wanna use FSR 4 there
Did you get new gpu? Or are you planning to get one?
im still planning
there is a used 9060 XT 16GB i could buy right now
but its only like 25€ cheaper than the new one so i think i'll play it save and get the new one instead
Ooo after driver installed now stalker 2 has fsr 4 override in adrenalin. And it is game pass version even!
nice
for some reason adrenalin no longer lets me adjust my driver settings per game
NVIDIA Is Cutting Off Driver Support For GTX 700, 900, and 1000 GPUs After Driver Series 580.
oh no... poor GTX 1080 Ti the legend is dead... 
legends never die
does draw distance make any difference
what setting would you recommend
After your liking 
well i would like the best balance between frames and applianc
So if Nvidia giving people 24gb on a sub 1000$ GPU. And 18gb on a sub 750$ GPU does that mean all this AI will handle vram is now less of an objective?
If, but so far is nothing for sure.
The AI stuff or the super series
i mean i am not sure if the cards exist or not or is just a rumor
Reason: Bad word usage
So even with official fsr 4 override using any upscaling causes that flickering noisy foliage every time you turn in a direction in this game. But at fsr 4 native AA it doesnt do it. Going to try oblivion in a bit to see if it is truly fixed over there
This poll is better suited for another channel
Does it now? Interesting. That tells
me the issue is driver related teacher then Valve’s end.
You know what? I cant.
Yeah at least it was like that showing Radeon (TM) Graphics when i first got this gpu in march - April. I cant even remember the software I used lol might have been pc game benchmark auto detect software. And maybe even gpu z
Only happens in UE 5 it seems
true
and secret stashes usually dont have any valuable loot
Who knows some might say it’s not big enough
@minor lion I wanna know why we need a bigger map…
lol
I mean on the condition that quests get added to actually fill it out
More fps feels like a pipe dream for now because any performance optimizations are probably just gonna get fed straight back into A-Life improvements
Hardware lumen might change that though
But that was not on the list
But what about the rest of the zone it would be a extended map with lot of stuff while the rest is drowning
Throw that let’s get baked lighting. Least we all gain huge fps
Stalker only has software lumen??
Oh also, They didnt fully fix noisy/flickering fsr4 in oblivion either actually. It is significantly better..but still spots in trees that do it sometimes
Yep
That'd just make the game run worse 
i was thinking about replacing my 6650xt and 5600g later this year and thinking about investing in a 9060xt and 9700x, im not a huge tech wizard so i was wondering how yall think that would fare when running stalker 2
of course i know it relies on other pc specs as well but i recently changed my air cooler for a water cooler, got 32gb ram, and changed out my fans
what is the vram usage on the epic texture preset on 1080p
if pricce is similar, id rather go with 7800x3d. that 3d v cache is soo good for gaming
its so good that even the 5800x3d beats the 9700x in many games
take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rttc_ioflGo
yeah it would, definitely better than 9700x i believe. though keep in mind that stalker 2 is incredibly unoptimized, especially so for cpus
you could probably find some dudes in youtube benchmarking stalker 2 with 9060 xt and 7800x3d or a similar gpu
That is true, I’ll definitely look into it, thanks a lot for the help 
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is quite CPU heavy, just something to keep in mind. My 7800x3D doesn’t necessarily “struggle” but the utilization is definitely noticed on metrics.
The answer to your question is often location based though. 9700x will preform the same as a 9600x in gaming applications just so you are aware of that. If you are U.S.A based I’d go for the 9600x. This doesn’t take into account S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 specifically though as it’s a little unusual when it comes to CPU usage as we’ve all come to know rather well. I’m going to try and find that information for you.
9060xt is on par with a 7700xt. It’s a great chip but it’s not the fastest and this game is pretty heavy on hardware in general. Just something to consider.
Yikes, discord didn’t decide to show me the rest of these messages until just now. Thanks, Discord. Very cool.
Thanks a lot man 
Of course. I happen to specialize in billing PCs from scratch. it’s kinda what I do haha.
Do you think the 7800x3d outperforms the 9600x either in stalker 2 or in general?
even on a 4090 it costs lots of performance
only thing better than a 7800 X3D is a 9800 X3D
Seems to be rather difficult to find any up to date well vetted benchmarks for this game. The only ones I can find are mostly from November of 2024.
I can find plenty of GPU benchmarks, but again late 2024 mostly.
its definetely faster
worth the price increase ? IDK, thats for you to decide.
yeah, 99% of them are fake benchmarks
the few that are real are all quite old
@minor bolt @foggy ferry scam thing here :
Thanks 
Fine wine
WUT ?
how much better does the price to performance ratio need to be on an RDNA 4 card for you to choose it over the Nvidia competitor ?

Based Poll
Dude on my 9800X3D + RTX 4080 Super at 3440x1440 res, all Epic + DLSS 4 Quality the game runs at 162 FPS most of the time with deeps in FPS at 120 - 130 in towns.
uh huh
Is all about PC hardware to be in balance to have good FPS in games.
If your CPU and GPU are out of balance all will run worst.
so RX 6600 + 5600 G is better than 9060 XT + 5600G ?

Dude idk i never use low end parts i only buy high end 
most of us arent rich you know
I only use low end parts as a kid not having money :))
why are you poor, just get a job 
this is like that girl saying "why are you homless, just buy a house" 
and btw i am not rich, i am normal, so i find this to be normal to get PC hardware, idk how you find this to be rich to get some PC parts ?
what a troll 
I am not a troll i truly do not get it, you guys work on candy, not on money ?

I mean i get it, you do not have a job, you have others problems, but in rest i do not get it


we have, unfortunatly, not yet normalized buying second hand and refurbished parts
i use to get used parts when i was in collage and all my money was going to school
books, bozz, girls and clubs i mean 😄
FG?
Alr I’ll figure it out
Nothing this days will run well without DLSS/FSR/XeSS/ and FG on top. GPUs too slow needs fake frames urgent 
Or better HW
Well both HW and SW
What is that ?
Its a great day to be a Radeon user
please don't use the j slur ("j**") in this server
what is it with these yt channels always BOUNCING on radeon cards bro 😭
doing tricks on it atp 💀😭
❓❓❓
im not even an nvidia fanboy but the glaze is actually unreal for amd stuff
Bruh
you call that video glazing AMD ? BRUH
I guess saying a driver improved is BOUNCING
meanwhile they're getting upset that AMD made a 9060 XT 8GB instead of a non XT 
even though with the 7600 XT they thought that it should have just been the 7600 non XT 8GB cuz it has the same core count as the 8GB 
and that " it isnt a big enough improvement to be called XT over the non XT"
its also not like they showed that NVIDIA drivers have also improved 
TBH i think what triggered him was the AMD FineWine part of the thumbnail/title

and like, it is an actuall improvement
the 9070 XT went from being slower than the 5070 TI to being faster 😎
(at least in raster)
They have a AMD affinity that's why lol 
🙄
and you have a very slight Geforce affinity lol #pc-specs message
(that being not buying AMD no matter what) 
bro i admit it i use only Nvidia because i had big problems with AMD Radeon cards, so i do not hide this like others about AMD Radeon.
when were those problems ? 5+ years ago ?
if so, you really do hold a grudge lol
Bro i do not risk it anymore, i said same thing with HD 6970; same thing with R9 290; same thing with 5700XT.... i was that's it i am done.
that "same thing" being ?
At least i try not may fault AMD fail to make me like them
that sentance makes no sense to me 
typo ?
why don't you buy Nvidia cards ?
worse price to performance. and RT/DLSS isnt worth enough for me to not just save the extra money i'd get to keep with the AMD card
but you havent solved my problem with that sentance 
(that being i have no clue what that means)
that to me sound senseless so you are cheap that's you telling me ?
wow, what a troll
or what an NVIDIA fanboy
Dude is like saying i do not buy a faster car because i am poor lol 😄
or sh'tposter
Sa,e with this cards, i buy slow because is cheap ok i get it
but the car isnt faster it just has extra gimmicks
No, AMD do not have faster cars (GPUs) so how can i buy a RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 competitor ? Tell me ?
and software bugs that would make me tear out my hair
OH NOOOO
RICH MAN PROBLEMS SO SAD 🤣


first it was issues which you didnt care to elaborate on and now its that AMD doesnt go above 9070 XT 
I am not rich i just work, i have money, i spend on good things what is so bad about it ?
you need to try it some times
anyone thats buying a 5090 is either rich or stupid 
you cant change my mind
so dont try 
Do i have 5090 ? I have RTX 4080 Super, a card AMD still do not compete with being slow azz... is that my fault ? You sound exactly like a AMD fanboy not me. I use AMD 9800X3D, why ? Because is good and fast, why don't you buy one ? Because is too expensive ? That's the reason ?
bruh.
I can apply same logic you said (eve if is silly) to CPU too being AMD this time, what's your excuse here ? I am a AMD fanboy now ?
Bro you sound "idiotic" no offense
bruh, you are seriously taking this personallly 
Becasue you call me a fanboy just because i like to buy good hardware, even if i care less about branding, if is worth it i buy it, if not fuk it, i do not help corporations with my money.
like, bruh: #pc-specs message i told you why i dont buy NVIDIA over AMD and i dont think this is a ridiculous reasoning at all
You accuse me first so i switch the coin there
and then after you responded with a very ridiculous comment i said this #pc-specs message
You also sound ridiclous to me too btw 😄
anyway, i dont think we need another worthless arguement so lets leave it there
oh cool. we agree
i agree to disagree

Do not start it too, they was accuse of that many times. Not my fault there. I said what internet say about them. 
What is going on bro
Nothing just attcked AMD a bit and that happen 😄
uhh, just some pointless argueing cuz he got his feelings hurt

Bruh
fun.
If i have a AMD iGPU i am good ?
Not so much green if you think about it 😄
I have more RED in my PC now

Best GPU in history - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmJ2fb9R7-k 
too bad that they didnt make a 6GB version
would've been even better if the 6GB version had a 64bit bus
(with 3GB G7 modules)
bro that card i will not buy even if is for my office PC
you know, i'd laugh if it was slower than my RX 6600 
and according to this it is but uhh, im not sure they've even tested it https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5050.c420
idk bro want to buy one Nvidia is not sending GPUs to techmedia
then we could benchmark them (6600 VS 5050
)
would be fun for the lolz
i mean the bro from the video
i will not buy a crap like that 😄
Nvidia did not send any cards (5050) to no tech tuber
though, since 1080p gaming on an AMD 8GB card is dead it would still be a better card than my 6600 just cuz DLSS 
awwe sad. 
Is that even a gaming card in 2025 ? for real is more like a office GPU you find in a laptop
its been a theme at this point
NVIDIA sends no 8GB cards to reveiwers cuz they dont want the backlash
you can still game on it lol
its just not gonna be as good as a 4080 or something
i mean you can, i can even on my iGPU but is not ideal
well, its way better than 99.9% of IGPU's so its not that bad
but at this point the no DLSS and 8GB of VRAM have killed it for some of the most recent games
Thats what i am saying!
How about 4GB 😄
heheheh HEHEHEHEHEHE
And not even 64bit but 32bit back in 2000
mostly the 8GB part but the mandatory upscaling without DLSS too..
DLSS needs at least 12GB to be ok
NVIDIA should make a version of that card that just uses RAM as VRAM
If you enable DLSS on 8GB card will work like crap
no more out of VRAM errors cuz there is not VRAM
FG maybe but SR lowers the VRAM usage actually...
like a DDR5
good luck running AI on 6GB VRAM LMFAO
DLSS as well but not many know that, they all say DLSS is so good but they do not know DLSS eats a lot of VRAM too.
FG on top you are fine with 8GB to go home and cry in the corner when FPS drops
i dont see why DLSS would use more VRAM than XeSS/FSR and both of those work fine on my RX 6600
I am talking about modern games not old games
#cost saving
#stonks #margins go up #The Moar You Buy The Moar You Save
BTW, @plucky quail this command r.TemporalAASamples when set to 2 actually slightly reduces flickering/shimmering with FSR
The sad part is AMD learn from Nvidia to sell expensive GPUs such RX 9070/9070XT for example that we seen.
could anyone tell me, why everything far away looks blurry?

TAA or LOD problems
So i do not expect next AMD Radeon cards to be good/price/performance anymore
Level
Of
Detail
its what games do to avoid having to display unnecessary detail on objects far enough from the camera that the extra detail would help
first it was i've had problems in the past after that it was AMD doesnt go above 5070 TI/9070 XT level now its AMD doesnt have good price to performance according to you, though, yeah, at anything above MSRP they dont really make sense (RDNA4) and pricing is region specific.
what preset are you using for FSR ?
Here we have much cheaper Prices vs Nvidia 9070XT is MSRP here
looks like performance mode at 1080p (which is 50% res scale on TSR)
plus those objects arent that far from the camera
quality right now, but theres barely a difference from performance
what about native AA ?
im on 1440p
wait, so thats 1440p with FSR Q ?
this is native aa, with the fsr 3.1
@plucky quail was the game always this blurry and i just didnt notice ?
or better yet, is there any setting i could lower? for more fps
what settings are you at right now ?
which wont impact image quality by much, im running everything on epic
Nope
im getting around 100 fps with native aa, but i want 140 fps for that smooth feeling
BTW, that link wont load for me for some reason.
There is something wrong looks like Ultra P
i'd say use FG but something tells me you already are
this is native aa
now it looks more like a game than an oil painting
so i should use native aa
yeah, it seems so..
This looks more Compression
this here is tsr on ultra quality with 75 resolution scale, looks nice no?
my framerate is stable 140-150
think i should rock with this?
BTW @plucky quail Linux devs have gotten FSR 4 cost down to 2milliseconds on a 7900 XT at 1440p Quality preset which isnt much slower than XeSS DP4A

Thats Good thats COOL
use whichever one is more playble to you
i cant tell you which looks better there IMO as the shots you send are in completely diferent scenes and have already been heavily zoomed into
so no way to do a semi proffesion comparison
okay, for now i feel like its tsr
yeah..
with how well its doing there AMD should actually let you use it on windows IMO
What you want the most in Q4 2025 in Stalker.
7
16
1
More FPS
What like XESS DP4A meaning what sense?
Maybe they can make Non tranzformer model version?
ohh, right that (full CNN model i mean)
Only available full on RDNA4 and below get the cutdown version?
yeah.
Still kinda sad for RDNA3 if everybody gets a worse version that needs to cut donw that much so it works on older cards
Nah PAris test is on HW lumen. They turned that on vs SW lumen. That means they had gains in HW but not in the SW side.
What gpu do you have? You could try OptiScaler to inject most recent model of XESS or any FSR model you like most
Unless you have 9000 series then you can use fsr4. Which should have a toggle for this game in adrenalin
I am actually not sure which XESS is in this game. Does it even have XESS at all?
I think they could do fsr 3.5 for rdna3. Improve on 3.1 a decent bit. Or like fsr4 CNN for rdna3 similar to DLSS cnn & transformer
pretty sure it does, also i have a 7800xt
You can try Radeon Image Sharpening in adrenalin. I usually use it all times at 20% or so. Imo it really helps clean up image quality while gaming
Especially for when AA makes things so soft
okay ill check it out, im using fsr 3.1 at quality atm
Or VSR to render at higher resolution then downscale to your native + FSR Q
I did this in destiny 2 it really helped make things less shimmery and a lot clearer.
But it cost a bit of fps
okay ill check it out
@hollow kettlehey
What's up
There is an open box B570 on Newegg for $229 !!
im stuck.
i cannot escape the bunker, i saw a video on it.. but the switch doesnt wanna let me interact... ive been stuck here for long
It doesnt load
here, i literally cant open it
tried to get a mod so i could noclip out, but couldnt find a mod that works, im literally stuck unless i load back
Is it for one of the first side quests on the starting area?
If it is then you have to put the fuse on the broken electric box in the first room (the one you first see after the impaled body on the wall when you enter that zone)
i did do that.
it's actually annoying tho
Huh, that is weird then
Are you sure you put the fuse that was on the floor on that electric box
I got softlocked a couple of times too on earlier version but i didnt had any yet on 1.5 in my new savefile
I used to kinda like ZTT videos but now he just made me mad. He said the case im using has weak aesthetics -_- and more i watch, the more I realize he makes videos aimed towards kids/teens
I was going to get a new case but really this one has great airflow and looks fine to me personally. And it is plenty big enough for any part I ever would need to install. Screw ZTT and his terrible opinions 😂
The future is now old man!!!! Your taste is outdated!!!
YES 100% twice
i'll most likely load back, or try to get a mod so i can get out
He’s also incorrect most of the time. For example, suggesting bottleneck calculators.
What kind of case do you have? @hollow kettle? Just put it curiosity. I’m using the Montech XR from…uhh…Montech.
yeah, he is blissfully unaware
He really should know better.
or he just doesnt care
Part of me wonders if he does know better and he does it because of the traction he gets from stirring the pot so to speak.
could be either
He builds PCs for a living, how does he not know that bottleneck calculator are about 0% accurate.
Stalker 2 uses more of my GPU than literally any other game I play.
for me its uses less cuz of that nasty CPU bottleneck i have
which is gonna be even worse once i get the 9060 XT 
Aw, yeah that’s rough. 7800x3D + 7900xtx so little to no bottleneck.
There’s always a bottleneck but my system was expertly built not to toot my own horn or anything.
well, I though that the 5600 G would be fine for an RX 6600 and it mostly is but in games like stalker 2 it actually limits the GPU
Yep, sounds about right. These “G” processors are just not that great for gaming anyway unless you don’t have a GPU.
though thankfully most games arent like Stalker 2
9600x has been a top pick for a lot of people due to the price right now.
Well the city’s are pretty bottleneck
yeah, the 5600 is much better than a 3600 but the G is the exact same CPU pretty much
Eh, not enough that I noticed a smoothness difference.
In one month it dropped really fast
Most of the time my GPU is at 98% - 100% utilize.
In cities?
mostly BC the G CPU's have half the chce of the non G onesw
Of course not, those are the exception. Even a 7800x3d can struggle a bit in towns but my GPU drops to the upper 80s at most.
The game is not great when it comes to CPU optimization. They just need to work on that.
It doesn’t affect the games smoothness as it still feels like butter, but the FPS does drop a bit of course.
With the overclock I have going on my GPU is technically tied for 3rd in fastest rasterization with the 5080.
They need to make without lumen to fix fps
Yet another massive Radeon w
oh no, you'll be branded an AMD shill now 
guys, has anyone noticed performance improvements with latest amd driver on 9070 xt? i saw hardware unboxed's video, and goddamn, it looks good! anyone who can confirm?
Well @hollow kettle has a 9070 non XT but i don't think he was testing each update to see wether or not performance improved overtime with driver updates
9070xt surpasses the 5070 Ti in rasterization now.
HUB is truth worthy.
There’s very very very few I’d take at face value, HUB is one of them.
HUB, GN, TPU, Igor’s Lab, and Puget Systems come to mind. Can’t think of any others..
I know, i was just making a joke of off what happened yesterday 
What happened yesterday…?
They got labeled an “AMD shill”?
You almost certainly don't wanna know
Which isn’t even a bad thing? I shill for AMD all the time. But the second they screw me? Bye bye.
But the jist is, yeah (well HUB and me
)
NVIDIA is starting to head to the toilet. Intel is already there.
AMD is at least trying. That’s more to say than the rest of them.
The problem with AMD isn’t their hardware, not wholly. A lot of it is the software. Adrenaline is fantastic though.
I mean on paper the 7900xtx should mop the floor with a 4080 Super and come back for seconds thirds and even fourths.
Its RT and not having an ML upscaler for a long time
That’s what we got when AMD didn’t give a shit, in theory? Imagine what we could get when they ARE trying.
The lack of tensor also isn’t helping.
Now those 2 are mostly fixed for RDNA 4 but they're still missing ML FG and RR
CUDA but that’s not really gaming focused and AMD is working on bringing their own version of CUDA to RDNA.
They already have CUDA.
Well, i read that RDNA 4 isn't far behind ADA in RAW ML performance
I’m guessing next generation. They’re focusing heavy on R&D right now.
9070xt was always to be a test bench for AMD. They’ve made that pretty clear. Just like RNDA was for RDNA2.
But with Cuda and ROCm they are still far behind
CNDA has it, though they don’t call it that.
AMD is crushing it with CDNA. NVIDIA is starting to drip piss.
Apparently RR and ML FG are coming this year
They took seven percent of the market last year and their supposed to take another seven percent this year.
They’ve effectively doubled their marketshare in just a few years. It’s incredible growth on that sector.
They just need to do that to RDNA which…isn’t going to be as easy. Because they’re behind.
That's a lot better than i though they were doing in AI
AMD is killing it in AI and Datacenter.
They hold a quarter of the market now, over that actually I think? I’d have to look honesty.
I was way OFF.
They hold an ass hair less than 40% of the data center market for graphics.
Igors lab had controversy in the German space. Since it’s German and they also make yt videos they had a video that had very wrong statistics. As they got called out and proven wrong by multiple German yter they defended the error they did.
Basically they had guy working there that made that error by checking what he done before or if he even knows how to benchmark they found out that he had no idea about this stuff.
They hold 37% of the datacenter CPU market.
That’s…significant….
2023: 25%
Q1 2025: 39%
^ datacenter marketshare for AMD.
not surprising given their competition is Intel...
Yea that’s huge
Fact of the matter is? AMD has more experience than NVIDIA when it comes to microchips.
AMD has been in this business for fifty six years.
But what is it compared to intel and Nvidia
Not sure, not relevant.
im pretty sure 85% of the rest is intel
They’ve almost doubled their marketshare. That’s explosive growth.
Did Nvidia win more than AMD? Because intel was really bad?
If I was NVIDIA I’d be pissing myself on the datacenter front. AMD is also crushing it in China while NVIDIA is falling on their face, to some extent not their own fault.
That does not add up with 39%
cuz its CPU datacenter market share we are talking about there i was saying 85% of the market share that remains after you take out AMD's share (but i guess it doesnt matter)
That’s GPU ^
ohhh kay
They hold 40% of the datacenter GPU market as of Q1 2025 up from 25% in Q4 2023.
Who AMD?
Yes.
Who is else in the gpu competition?
NVIDIA ?
Intel, NVIDIA on date center front, I’m sure there’s a few smaller players.
Intel ? (kinda)
They do better then AMD on AI ^
im pretty sure intell has like 0% share 
AMD only holds 14% of the AI market.
Uhhh…I thought they had more. Maybe I had it backwards.
Regardless AMD just falls on gaming GPUs but I’m hoping that’s going to change. Despite that I love my 7900xtx, it’s dummy fast.
