[hollow kettle]

I have the steel legend 9070 non XT. Love this card

AsRock Taichi is really good model too from what I seen

[slim knoll]

i love it too. hope it does not burn my house down

[hollow kettle]

Does yours use 2x 8 pin or 3x 8 pin?

[slim knoll]

2x8

i dont think there are 3x8 pin

[plucky quail]

Well well well.
Same shit same results

[real kraken]

just got my first real monitor guuys

from work 60hz 1080p 27" to 1440P 27" with Freesync, HDR, 144Hz

[coarse linden]

Congrats

[real kraken]

Thx

[coarse linden]

And never buy 27" 1080p again

[plucky quail]

perfect hope stalker still runs with 1440P
Hope it looks good and have fun

[real kraken]

I got it from my mom X)

I bought my first monitor

[real kraken]

Yeah the color are 200% much better, it's absolute cinema

[late ferry]

pastbedtimejeff has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[nimble nexus]

Oi, no... That is a too higher compliment.

[past escarp]

is like 1000$ okay price for 5070Ti?

[nimble nexus]

What gpu you got?

[nimble nexus]

No

[plucky quail]

I think it was the good old 7800XT

[nimble nexus]

Nice card. a 1440p should be fine.

[plucky quail]

tho stalker i mean every other game you could play Max.

[nimble nexus]

Up scaling, slightly lower detail. It's fine

[plucky quail]

true true tho that game without native can look bad fast

[past escarp]

9070xt starts at abt 800-850$

[plucky quail]

then what the 5080 at?

[past escarp]

idk, i never ever had money to buy such expensive stuff

[nimble nexus]

so you get to spend $150 on a new ssd or something. Or save it for a mem, cpu upgrade or something.

[past escarp]

1450$

[plucky quail]

I mean its 20% off no?

[nimble nexus]

Lies... a 5080 is 2 kidneys on the black market.

[past escarp]

1450-1475 is the lowest price for asus prime or msi shadow

[plucky quail]

damn i just know some idiot bought a 4090 priced 5080

[past escarp]

i will buy 9070xt for sure, its just interesting to me how much does green cards cost

[plucky quail]

Is that even US pricing?

[past escarp]

i dont believe so

[plucky quail]

EU?

[nimble nexus]

It's not even the cost for me any more... It's the fact that they have lied and treated their board partners and customers, like absolute sh*t recently.

They are the Epstein of the computer industry right now.

[past escarp]

cause im not in us and i`ve heard that cards could be there at msrp

[plucky quail]

ah wait romania?

[past escarp]

worse. ukraine

[plucky quail]

oh yea

tho who was here in romania?

[nimble nexus]

Slava Ukraini

[past escarp]

heroyam slava

[past escarp]

yeah there was a guy from romania

[plucky quail]

we here kinda international coming from everywhere united by buggy zone

[nimble nexus]

buggy is one way of putting it 😄

[past escarp]

im thinking now about gigabyte gaming oc, asus prime oc and xfx quicksilver

[past escarp]

there are just... a lot of anomalies, you know?

[nimble nexus]

xfx and sapphire are the one's. I would say Red Devil, but that is a premium brand too.

[past escarp]

sometimes the Zone decides that you need to get somewhere faster, or you need to die, or npc will fall through the ground right to hell sidorovich basement

[past escarp]

i would look into red devil, but it all depends on their retail prices

[nimble nexus]

Or just spawn a million blood suckers on you

[plucky quail]

I really dont like Gigabyte GPUs. The Cooling sometimes sucks and the pads are the worst. Maybe it changed tho i dont hear that people praise Gigabyte rn.

[past escarp]

or prices that shops are buying cards

[nimble nexus]

Expensive... I just got one, and they are proper awesome.

[plucky quail]

Yea keep at the cheapest for you. Try to get the best priced with best value

[past escarp]

now i have 7800xt nitro+ from sapphire, that i will sell to my friend

in a bundle with my ol` gud ryzen 7 7700

[nimble nexus]

Not really the best thing sometimes. Sometimes, it's better to spend a little more, and not have something that annoys the living tits out of you. Quiet is something to consider, and coil whine is something to avoid.

Cheap is cheap for a reason.

[nimble nexus]

Sweet, a nice little card.

[plucky quail]

lil bit more yes just not 10% extra for basically same thing

[past escarp]

yeah, with my 7 7700 will go for 700$ for my friend. also im not that rich to buy cheapest stuff, its really expensive sometimes. also i am thinking abt buying new cpu cooler and psu

[plucky quail]

Also they get that cheap sometimes cuz they get produced more

[nimble nexus]

I got mine for £80 off... Dropped from 750, to 680 GBP.

Patience and striking right is a wonderful thing.

[nimble nexus]

Okay, what PSU you got.

[past escarp]

and i just know a guy who can sell for the prices that shops are buying cards

[nimble nexus]

Love it.

[past escarp]

chieftec polaris 750w

[nimble nexus]

Yeah, if you are getting a 9070xt, then a new PSU might be a good call... Don't get no cheap shyte... It would be worth saving up for a lil while.

[past escarp]

and for cpu ill buy 7800x3d. also im worried that this thing will eat 120w in stock, and 162 with boost, and my cpu cooler couldnt handle 150w of 7 7700

[nimble nexus]

what CPU cooler you thinking of getting?

[past escarp]

i think it could wait just a little

[past escarp]

maybe arctic liquid freezer 3 360 or something close

maybe if i could find peerless assasin then i would get it

[nimble nexus]

yeah... that aint gonna be an issue cooling your CPU...

I got an arctic freezer II on a 7900, with PBO, and on cinebench, the cpu on a bad day hits 80.

Which is way way way cooler than you need to worry about.

[past escarp]

but my cooler for now is id-cooling se-226-xt

[nimble nexus]

it might be noisy, but the stock cooler for a 7800x3d is good enough, until such point you can upgrade.

[past escarp]

well i would not hear it, cause i will hear case fans going 3300rpms

[nimble nexus]

an orchestra of fans... delightful...

What case you got?

[past escarp]

deepcool matrexx 55 mesh, i am thinking about changing it

[nimble nexus]

fan setup?

[past escarp]

3 in front
1 out back

[nimble nexus]

120mm?

[past escarp]

yes

4x arctic p12 max

[nimble nexus]

Hmmm, it should be fine, but it depends on how big it is...

If you get an Arctic, you could slap that to front and remove the 3 fans...

But it looks like you are going to have to do some jiggery pokery though

but it is never easy though.

[past escarp]

there is enough space for that, but im worried abt gpu temps

[nimble nexus]

nope... not an issue... AS long aas you set it up correctly

[past escarp]

it seems that i need to change more stuff in pc then i thought

[nimble nexus]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/deepcool-matrexx-55-v4-c-mid-tower-case-with-window?utm_source=Redbrain&utm_medium=awin&utm_campaign=Comparison+Shopping+Service+(CSS)&aw_affid=176013&awc=15473_1755909259_7d5c911a7be9f6369b6623bf42d71d97

That one?

[past escarp]

not v4, older model but yes

[nimble nexus]

it might be possible to to put your arctic along the top of the case, blowing air out the top of the case... that way, the cpu remains cooler, and leaving the 3 fans in the front to blow air to your gpu...

I had to get a new case, I got a lancool 216, because my MB has heatsinks in an awkward spot, and if the case is not big enough, the heatsinks stop me from putting the arctic along the top of the case, which is no end of annoying.

[past escarp]

nah, there is a place only for 2 fan liquid cooling

[nimble nexus]

More than enough for your CPU, as long as it is good enough.

IF you go the 360, the you will have no choice but to slap on the front.

[real kraken]

7800XT,but I got a bottleneck so my fps didn't change only my gpu usage lol, always around 85-90% but never 95%+

[past escarp]

why bother buying 240 when you can get 360 or equal air cooler?

[plucky quail]

Artic.cooler are thick

[nimble nexus]

It depends on your case and what you can fit in it.

People don;t realise, that it can be a pain in the ass, and people never think about the little things

[plucky quail]

1440p really helps you to get out of that gpu

[nimble nexus]

What cpu you, you got?

[nimble nexus]

It will, the 7800xt has 16gb right?

[nimble nexus]

Very thick... It caused me no ends of issues.

[real kraken]

Ryzen 7 5800x

I d'ont have any cpu high usage problem, only in S2

[past escarp]

well it really depends. but i dont think that i could fit inside something like nh-d15

[nimble nexus]

I used to have one of them... Fantastic CPU's, run a bit warm though without a good cooler

[real kraken]

Got AIO so not really a problem excepted In S2, it run at 80C

But other game like metro exodus, run around 70C

[nimble nexus]

okay. What AIO you got?

[real kraken]

Foxpirit

[nimble nexus]

never heard of them

[real kraken]

Sad, but S2 is the first game I meet a bottleneck lol I didn't except it even at 1440p

[past escarp]

just play in 8k

[real kraken]

No thanks, d'ont want my pc burn

[past escarp]

i played metro 2033 redux in 1440p with 4x ssaa

[nimble nexus]

S2 is a mess of a game, about as optimised as a cabbage on a couch.

[past escarp]

barely got 60-70 fps

guys what is better option - gigabyte gaming, asus prime or xfx quicksilver?

[real kraken]

Price

[nimble nexus]

xfx

[real kraken]

Lol

[past escarp]

50 to giga and 25 to asu

[nimble nexus]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

@past escarp - All that black at the top of the case is an Arctic cooler... Trust people, when they say it is fat.

They ain't joking.

[past escarp]

DAYM its not just fat its like oh hell nah

[real kraken]

https://www.fox-spirit.com/

Europe and mostly france

[past escarp]

but thats liquid freezer II, which is fatter i guess

[nimble nexus]

And newer CPU's demand fatter coolers... The 3 would be just as fat.

[nimble nexus]

French for sure... Dad lived in France for a years, great place.

[past escarp]

ah yes, now i see there

66mm height with fans

[real kraken]

Thx

[nimble nexus]

Your welcome. He live about 45 mins of Montpellier. in the hills between the Alps and Pyrenees.

[nimble nexus]

Yup. So just giving you a heads up and what to expect, so you can really think about you need and how to go about things.

[past escarp]

well i have a place for it in the front panel

[real kraken]

Ah yes, I lives near Alpes too, it's why my internet speed is 15mb/s 💀

[nimble nexus]

Yeah, and the 9070xt is long card

[real kraken]

No city around me

[past escarp]

well 7800xt is not short as well, difference is 2-3cm

[real kraken]

There is no 2 fan 9070?

[nimble nexus]

but 2/3 cm is the difference between something fitting and it not fitting. Don;t take it for granted, get your measurements and add a bot more on for safety

[past escarp]

well this difference exists only IF i buy liquid freezer 3

[nimble nexus]

9070XT, probably, but no the one I have got though.

[nimble nexus]

Of course, and if you decide to get it, you are now a little more informed.

[past escarp]

i would prefer to buy air cooler

[nimble nexus]

Sounds like bliss to me... Lived in cities all my life, and now I cant get away quick enough 😄

[past escarp]

but it could not fit so i would need to look a bit more into it, but it will be after psu

[nimble nexus]

That is a good call too... Noctua do some fantastic ones.

[past escarp]

well... noctuas price is even if not higher then liquid freezer

[nimble nexus]

Get what you pay for.

[past escarp]

i need more power

https://tenor.com/view/vergil-i-need-more-power-dmc-devil-may-cry-gif-13108410

[real kraken]

[nimble nexus]

You want a cooling system that is run by a mini nuclear power station...

And you wont need any RGB, as the radiation will see to that.

[past escarp]

well i look into seeing red- or even white-glowing aluminium

[past escarp]

and why not to make a pocket nuclear reactor? i think its a great idea

[nimble nexus]

get your own gieger counter too... Even when your not in the Zone, you will still get to feel like you are 😄

[past escarp]

since i already live near npp nothing bad could happen, right?

[nimble nexus]

I would rather not have mutated, swimming creep zoids in ma jubblies 😄

[nimble nexus]

For ever the optimist 😄

[past escarp]

nothing bad could happen, its just the biggest npp in europe

[nimble nexus]

Well, if one day you go silent and there is a big hole, where such as place once existed... I drink a toast to you 😄

[flat brook]

As long as Dyatlov isn’t in charge, you’ll be fine

[past escarp]

well i hope so, cause now its not under our control

but anyway, i live close enough not to care

[nimble nexus]

Anyway, I am off. Been to the pub, and my brain is like a pickle herring.

enjoy and good luck with ya new toys.

[past escarp]

well i just hope to get a new toys, but anyways goodnight man

[plucky quail]

uh why is he banned?

[tawny thicket]

fr

[austere rose]

cuz he tried to wrote a price difference between gpus using dollar sign

message from him:
"i always come back"

[plucky quail]

Can they not ban people for 50dollars

We talk really often about 50 dollars difference between GPUs. Like amds 50 $ less strategy

[past escarp]

im back

sadly without my arena roles

[tawny thicket]

just write euros instead of dollars, that always works

[past escarp]

i dont have the sign for that on my keyboard

[tawny thicket]

sadge

[past escarp]

at least not on pc

[tawny thicket]

then write "50 D" perfect

[past escarp]

i dont want to take 50 D`s i want 50 bucks

[wary totem]

You'll get them back

[past escarp]

okay then everuthings fine

[wary totem]

DM me the missing roles or a screenshot showing them

I'll see to it that you get them back, hopefully this monday

[past escarp]

so here goes the problem - i dont remember which ones i had

[wary totem]

How many?

[past escarp]

i remember only arena, your inventory and some quipment

[wary totem]

Arena daredevil?

[past escarp]

i guess no

maybe jsut arena, it was from the first arena event

[austere rose]

Well hello there, I thought you were dead.

[past escarp]

well such screenshot does not exist, at least not on my phone

[wary totem]

Alright!
I'll see it though
(Inventory items will likely not comeback since it's supposed to be removed post event. You'll get the arena and inventory orange role back.)

Any other role from the arena event?

The purple grade loot?

[wary totem]

We'll have to rely on your memory then

[wary totem]

It was my bad skill issue moment

My apologies

[past escarp]

what is it?

[wary totem]

Artifacts, lynx, SSP, gauss

[past escarp]

i may have had gauss, or exoskeleton. but that is not 100% info so

[wary totem]

All Grey roles are temp

[past escarp]

also i`ve checked abt 50 pages of my and my friends spam, its there is no screenshots of my roles to be found, but im there only at abt 2 weeks before s2 release

[wary totem]

Alright, you'll get the gauss

[past escarp]

if there still exists first arena chat - then you can check

[wary totem]

I'll check the event channels for more precise details

[wary totem]

Yeah, I'm planning on that already

[past escarp]

filter by my messages, there are not much to be found

[wary totem]

Dw, I'll deal with it

[past escarp]

thx

[wary totem]

My mistake, my responsibility

[plucky quail]

good to have you back

[past escarp]

i dont think that my presence makes much of a difference

[wary totem]

So, the roles that should be back soon will be:
Arena fighter, inventory, gauss, and stone flower.
You had quite the loot

I think I may have given you at least one of these roles myself during the event lmao

[past escarp]

Exdee thanks man

[plucky quail]

maybe you give him a cool role for a sorrwe? 👉🏼👈🏼 🥹

[past escarp]

i dont think that on official server its allowed. maybe if it was some small local 100-guys server then maybe i would get it

[past escarp]

btw still lost it even with good loot cause of random

[plucky quail]

Got in to stalker and it looks now really bad

[tawny thicket]

looks bad how : D

[plucky quail]

Like the FSR version and also the time zone has changed is like much brighter than the save before

FSR looks like it got a huge downgrade.
Tho can’t tell if it’s of the time of day or just worse aa

[spring pulsar]

Or just crap settings?

If you use dlss, it looks crap if I don't use Quality... but I noticed the other that after a patch it changed mine to Performance by itself 🤔

[tawny thicket]

DLAA is also worse than quality ?

[past escarp]

I can send my screenshots to you so you can compare them

It should be 1080p ultra FrameGen + FSR on AA

[plucky quail]

I need to go back and check but I have recordings that show it’s normal working.

[spring pulsar]

Has there been a patch or something?

Watching footy atm, will load it up in a sec

[plucky quail]

Yea we got 1.5.3

[spring pulsar]

looks fine to me

i'd upload a pic, but it appears i cannot in here!

[wary totem]

can't.

I found all of his loot entries

Took me a bit of time to go through it with my mobile

[hollow kettle]

My game says last updated 8/18

Heck yeah I just loaded in and it has fsr 4 toggle in adrenalin showing active even though this is game pass version 😎

[coarse linden]

Oh.. Just noticed that GN 3 hour movie was taken down

By.. Bloomberg...?

"Bloomberg filed an illegitimate copyright strike against our 3.5-hour movie for a clip we used of the US President speaking."

[tawny thicket]

#Excuses

[coarse linden]

Should be back in a week once youtube gets its head out of its rear

As in human actually reviews it

[tawny thicket]

or GN gets rid of the segment

[coarse linden]

Unlikely since its well within fair use

Either Bloomberg got some real idiot doing this or their copyright bot screwed up royally

[reef zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[past escarp]

They reuploaded video on another chanel

[plucky quail]

No its more other people upload it else GN would have problem with YT

[coarse linden]

A lot of people uploaded it after it was unlisted

They shared download link for the video incase this happens

[nimble nexus]

GN?

[tawny thicket]

Gamers
Nexus
AKA PC hardware jeezus

[nimble nexus]

I wouldn't say that. As he does act like a bit of tit sometimes, but he is one of about 4 or 5 I watch reviews of.

as he does seem to know how to do it properly

[tawny thicket]

"tit" ?

[tawny thicket]

its not really his behaviour that earned him the "PC jeezus" name but more so his hair

[past escarp]

Does he turn water into thermalpaste?

[nimble nexus]

More like Hagrid...

You're an I.T tech Harry.

[nimble nexus]

it means many things, one of them being a bit of a wally, and idiot, and bit of a melon.

[tawny thicket]

ive never heard it before : D

[hollow kettle]

It also can mean breasts 🤣 so don't go around saying it in America lol

[past escarp]

tit is also a bird

[tawny thicket]

bruh

[past escarp]

tits are actually lovely birds

[nimble nexus]

Yup.. Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great tits and Bearded tits.

Bearded tits are one of my favourites, lovely little things,

Is Rostok more stable in later patches? Or still memory leaks/crashes/BSoDs?

[nimble nexus]

I haven't noticed any issues

[austere crest]

Fair, appreciate it.

[tawny thicket]

why is this even a question

[plucky quail]

I coulnt end my Context

In the context of the High end CPUs if they are enough. For the max FPS you could get.

Its a question since we get games that use more than 8Cores more also use full 16 ones. And thats the question if a 10950X should stay as the top of the top at 16 cores or if we should move on for the highest end of CPUs

[tawny thicket]

so we are talking physicall cores ?
i thought it was threads : D (doesnt change my answer though)

[plucky quail]

Cores else it would be threads.
But we have games that use all cores at 100% with a 9950X. Thats a thing to think about. No longer you are sitting with only 8 or 12 cores in use. Its now 100% 16Core and with it is the question how much would you gain if you had a 20core or 24 core CPU. Its still the highest end keep in mind so they are there to be the best of the best. Like threadripper but more Consumergrade .

[tawny thicket]

wait, really ?
games maxxing out the 9950X threads ?
which game does that ?

[plucky quail]

BF6? So many are saying that game humbles their CPU or any

It uses 100% of my 14900K it also uses 100% of the CPU(7950X) from @pure ibex

I you want the best of the best dont you then want a CPU that can humble the game?

So its not is 16Cores enough but is it enough for best CPU to have 16Cores.

[coarse linden]

0 Since we are all stuck 90% games being made on UE5

[tawny thicket]

post 5.3 UE games can use quite a few threads..

[coarse linden]

And yet... The stuff that matters the most is stuck on 1 core

Just watch 99% devs staying with UE5 when UE6 comes because multithreading is pain of their existence

[plucky quail]

#hateUE5

[coarse linden]

My hate does not limit onto 5 only

World would be better place if sweeney didnt trip onto fortnite money

[bold sun]

how is it possible that i have a ryzen 7 5700x3d, rtx 3070 ti oc and 32 gb ddr4 and the games runs at 12 fps???

[plucky quail]

The GPU

You have 8GB and thats not enough for what you play on prob

[bold sun]

bro wtf im running the game at low

[plucky quail]

1440P?

[bold sun]

yeah

[plucky quail]

Yea not working on 8GB

Either you get a GPU that has more Vram or you lower res to 1080P

[bold sun]

im speechless

[coarse linden]

VRAM use on low settings should be under 7GB...

[plucky quail]

Nvidias planned obsolescence

[bold sun]

im still speechless hahaha i bought this gpu last year and i see i have to buy a new one to play games in 1440p and not even in high settings, i think ill look for the new 9070 from amd

[plucky quail]

Its a fast GPU but the 8gb are pain in the butt.
8GB can barely handle 1080P so no surprise that 1440P doesnt work

[pure ibex]

X3d thank you very much chud

[tawny thicket]

sharpening comparison:
https://imgsli.com/NDA5NTIy

(RIS 2 cant be picked up by anything short of a capture card so the RIS 2 stuff is useless

[tawny thicket]

FSR's sharpener is just CAS
but UE 5's sharpener is straightup garbage LOL

[plucky quail]

Did you test ai sharpening?

[tawny thicket]

AKA: RIS 2 ?
i did but as i said it cant be picked by recording...

[tawny thicket]

it adds ailiasing and doesnt even add that much sharpening

[plucky quail]

No problem. Did you test if turning the non x3d cores of boost fps or did you forgor

[pure ibex]

Nah I never did

I forgot too

[plucky quail]

It’s called ris 2?

[tawny thicket]

well
i assume you meant AMD's "AI sharpener" which is called RIS 2

[plucky quail]

On my 14900k I get 240 fps depending on the map

[pure ibex]

I got locked 175 but my gpu is slower than yours

[plucky quail]

But only 12 Cores on with 8p and 4e

[plucky quail]

Yea you need do lower res and settings to get cpu bound

[plucky quail]

@pure ibex What do you say. Look at the context I wrote.

U prob need a 4090 or 5090 to be cpu bound at 1440p

[wary totem]

@past escarp your roles are back

Sorry again for the inconvenience

[past escarp]

great then

[past escarp]

np, everything is back so its all good

[wary totem]

Cool!

We will be having a new event soon, so hang tight for more roles hehe

[plucky quail]

Damn you got a upgrade? arena fighter?

[past escarp]

i was arena fighter

again, i AM DIARRHEA MAN

[plucky quail]

how do i get that?

[past escarp]

diarrhea?

[plucky quail]

not the DIARRHEA XD

[split viper]

on max settings and Ryzen 9 9950X#D im already bottlenecking. game still plays smooth with no crashes except it may crash if i try to clip a photo. Game def runs hard

[plucky quail]

What the CPU or GPU?

also GPU?

[split viper]

9950X3D Astral 5090

both bottleneck

[plucky quail]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-fuck-spicy-coughing-lord-gif-16077609

[split viper]

but they stay at about 80-90% and hit 100% every so often

[plucky quail]

so switchback?

also does the CPU get 100% or only 50%? like is it also using the non X3D

[split viper]

im not too sure but from my task manager it seems like its only utilizing 8 of 16 of its cores

[plucky quail]

Yea thats more normal. Else you would get slower game. Tho did you play BF6?

[split viper]

not yet

[plucky quail]

You must have whith that kind of build righ

[plucky quail]

You need to that game uses All 16cores one here has 7950X3D and he gets 100%

[split viper]

hope you saw that message not that i want people to know

[plucky quail]

no was writing XD

[past escarp]

nah thats dirt cheap

[split viper]

nah lol

that dug a hole in my pocket

[plucky quail]

You need to bust you CPU and gpu in BF6 only way of USING 100% of the PC

[split viper]

bruh im busting my CPU and GPU basically playing stalker

still runs smooth but task manager shows me borderline bottlenecking

[plucky quail]

Cant be you must least get 100FPS in that. I get 80 FPS with my XTX

[split viper]

my FPS is like 150+

usually I hit with fake frames 300-350 FPS

[plucky quail]

You need to use MSI afterburner or Nvidias overlay but thats dog water

[split viper]

[plucky quail]

[split viper]

ill check the overlay

[past escarp]

nah you need to buy something more powerful

[plucky quail]

150 is enough for this game ngl. Only if it would be that much for us too

[plucky quail]

Yea why didnt you buy the 6000 pro i bet you could fit that in the 14k PC

180FPS

[past escarp]

ever thought of gerring supercomputer for yourself?

[split viper]

you cant unless you build something truly custom with multiple CPUS and GPUS lol.

[split viper]

If you are talking about the Blackwell 6000, it isnt made for gaming. So it would defeat the purpose of purchasing one.

[past escarp]

then do it

[split viper]

no thanks.

[past escarp]

nah its still better then dirt-cheap 5090

[split viper]

show me your 5090

[past escarp]

why would i get something like that?

[plucky quail]

nuh uh its made to get 15% extra out of the GPU

[split viper]

then what do you have?

[split viper]

Blackwell 6000 is not a gaming GPU and its Business oriented. lol

[past escarp]

it still has better gaming performance

[plucky quail]

And you still can game and get more FPS with it over 5090

[split viper]

it doesn't but okay. its designed purpose isnt even the same.

[plucky quail]

No they are very same. Nvidia doesnt do it like AMD does. They have their GPUs as one. For productivity and gaming. Basically the Pro are just overpriced gaming GPus with extra power.

[past escarp]

no it has better gaming performance. fact that it is not designed for videogames doesnt mean that it cant be better by pure brute-force

[plucky quail]

There are reviews about that gpu and its faster than the 5090. Sometimes less faster sometimes more faster .

[wary totem]

Too late you'll get some new ones by the next discord event

[plucky quail]

how where and when?

[plucky quail]

can i get the preorder role? i have preordered( yes i am stupid) and dont have it. No idea where to get it.

[past escarp]

there is a role for it?

cause i preordered the game in 2022 and dont have the role

[plucky quail]

Idk some have preorder and i think there is also a Channel of it

Need to use the Plugin again from vancord

[past escarp]

i didnt know it existed. also my friend preordered the game and i belive he also does not have the role

[coarse linden]

I bough the game 5min before release so technically i did preorder

[plucky quail]

[ionic remnant]

is the game perf so bad that no one is trying to make graphics mods

[plucky quail]

Yea reminds me of Bf2042 where cheat programmer said they will not even try to make cheats for that game.

[coarse linden]

Could be that they dont have access to all the stuff yet

And some people insist UE is modding friendly

Hurdle after hurdle and pain in the rear if you ask me

And lets not even talk about how bloated the SDKs are on UE compared to any other damn game

[plucky quail]

600GB btw

[coarse linden]

I just said lets not talk about it!

[plucky quail]

I am a bad boy 😎

[nimble nexus]

Just got myself a T705 SSD 2Tb... Upto 14500Mb read speed...

Noticed naff all difference 😄

[wary totem]

Huh? To my knowledge, there is no such thing

pretty sure i saw that

[wary totem]

I just checked existing roles

[plucky quail]

Wait let me use the vencord thingi

[plucky quail]

These are my specs, is there a good mod I can use to run the game with decent fps, i tried a random mod and the game had bad stutters

[tawny thicket]

best mod you could use is a better GPU

[gusty crater]

i thought VRAM would be the main issue

[tawny thicket]

it is
but VRAM is on the GPU : D

[gusty crater]

true my bad

[spring pulsar]

When I recently upgraded my pc, the cheapest ssd on the ocuk site was a superfast pcie 5 one... Also unimpressed with the insane speed claims 😐

[terse plover]

Will a Ryzen 7 7700X and an RTX 5070 Ti be able to run the game at maximum settings, 1440p at atleast 60fps? (Without upscalers, that will come later.)

[past escarp]

most likely yeah

cpu is okay, and gpu i think would also be okay for 1440p, although i havent tried 1440p s2 cause i bought the monitor later

[nimble nexus]

I got a 9070xt, and can do it. I think a 5070TI is a lil better.

So yeah, go for it. Also up scaling is required.

[terse plover]

Alrighty

I want to upgrade to that exact desktop, little bit of DLSS, maybe frame gen, and I want to mod the shit out of the game

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1mz9q6f/creating_stalker_of_my_dreams_hdr_project/ To this point

After S2 moves to the newest UE version, I'm sure we can achieve the most photorealistic game out there

[coarse linden]

Not newest

But newER

[austere rose]

You're goddamn right

[past escarp]

wohehehe

[ionic remnant]

i am really curious if 5070ti uses less memory

[fair blaze]

i mean my games is fine like that and i have a 4070 super

[tawny thicket]

slightly less
probably

[coarse linden]

Somewhere between 6 - 8 depending on location from top of my head.. Its been few months so dont really recall accurately

Cant really be arsed to play until engine update in hopes it makes my CPU little less obsolete

[ionic remnant]

6 - 8%?

gigabyte was passive aggressive with me

and said i lost the cable and they gonna make an exception for the cable

hello Stalkers. have anyone of you tried running s2 on pc with this kind of specs or similar? below are specs

processor. intel core i5 6600k
ram 16 gb
OS win 10 x64
gpu radeon rx 580 series 4gb
220gb of ssd

and my question is will it even be playable on lowest settings possible
if yes then how it does behave overally? i mean what temps GPU does reach during playing and stuff. thank you for time and responses. and yes i plan to chage ssd to 1tb one :)))

[pure ibex]

if you got less than 6 gig of vram the game is entirely unplayable

[fossil dagger]

really? not even with graphics lowering mods? assuming these are a thing for s2

[pure ibex]

nope.....

people have tried but

the results are usally sub 20 fps

like you got a mid range system from over 10 years ago

[fossil dagger]

well thanks for response i didn't expected it to be that fast.
as for the results i guess the internal components of pc get pretty hot real quick.
so my best option is to do little upgrade. thanks again

[pure ibex]

i mean you would need a full overhaul tbh

[fossil dagger]

in fact i'd take that 20fps but then there's poppy field so it would either crash or freeze. or both haha

[pure ibex]

well people did tests with 4 gig gpus faster than that one so

likely results would be even worse for you

[fossil dagger]

noted. but for starters i'd plan to do an upgrade strong enough to have stable 30-60 fps on low settings.

[tawny thicket]

even if you somehow managed to fit in that VRAM you would still have terrible performance and terrible visuals
not worth the effort

[pure ibex]

thank you my better half what would i do with out you

[tawny thicket]

though i guess if you are a masochist you could try this on the potato preset
https://github.com/ColesyM/S2SettingsGenerator

[pure ibex]

when they dropping the glide api port

[tawny thicket]

Get a 3060 and an 5600X3D or 5700X3D

(Or wait for 5.5 get a 5600 non X)

[fossil dagger]

Like i said i could take even 20fps and "clusterfuck" graphics. But since its 50/50 situation with strong press on being unable to play. Best choice for me would be to just upgrade my pc a little with aim for 30-60 stable fps on low settings. High quality doesn't matter as i would try to Enjoy the story itself.

[tawny thicket]

well i guess if you only need low settings then the 8GB version of the RX 580 would work
though you'd still need a CPU upgrade if you dont want to drop to like 15fps in towns (possibly 20~ without lumen)

[fossil dagger]

Yeah In end i'd need to change 4 things.

GPU, CPU, Motherboard (my current one is Made specially for cryptocurrency Mining. To be precise its AsRock H110 pro btc+ ) , and memory card. Gotta have the space for all that updates.

And the last question is what GPU,CPU and motherboard i'd need to have that solid 30-60 FPS on low settings.

[tawny thicket]

for CPU:
https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Stalker-2-Spiel-34596/Specials/Release-Test-Review-Steam-Benchmarks-Day-0-Patch-1459736/6/

(do note that CPU performance is actually worse today than it was back then since they sort of enabled more of A-life)

(back then the 3600 could get 42fps avarage, now my 5500 which is equivlilent in performance gets 33fps avg)

[hazy arch]

I have a 3600 with a 9700gre and 32gb ram and apart from towns, the game runs alright.

[tawny thicket]

9070 GRE ?

[quartz prism]

Where do I go to get support for the game

[tawny thicket]

i thought it was an urban legend

[bold sun]

is this game playable in 1440p with medium sttings with a 4070 ti with 12 gb vram?

[ionic remnant]

Really sad 9070GRE wasnt as great as 7900GRE in terms of pricing and perf

[tawny thicket]

i thought that thing went for 450

[ionic remnant]

No point buying it just get a 9070 or 9070XT at this point

And its 509 euro msrp

If i am not mistaken

[ionic remnant]

It changes depending on yuan / eur / dollar conversion

Why pay 500 eur for a cutdown 9070

450 would make it actually a great card

Especially the upcoming 16gb version

[plucky quail]

New ram here soon. Hope that luck is on my side that this works with more MT.

[hazy arch]

I got the 7900GRE for the price of a 7800xt. I love how the prices dip when new stuff come out.

Don’t know anything about pcs want to get one to play stalker gamma yall got any recommendations for budget friendly?

[rough echo]

You should probably join the stalker gamma discord and ask there

[ionic remnant]

Do you guys recommending buying msi oled 240hz 1440p (the first gen of oleds i think or 2nd)

Or wait for newer models (i genuinely dont want more than 240hz) in order to get the extra features they added into the monitors for burn in prevention anti flickering, higher trueblack rating etc.. ?

these extra monitor features are worth it ?

[coarse linden]

I wouldnt

[ionic remnant]

Wdym

Like elaborate why wouldnt u, would you wait for newer gens and why

Or you prefer going 4k oled etc

[plucky quail]

Bit wrong here to ask about gamma.

[mighty barn]

hes fishing for rage

very poorly

[hollow yacht]

does the game still runs like shit on 4gb vram?

[spare coral]

Yes

8gb of vram is the minimun for it to run decently

[plucky quail]

IDk how you would think that it would run on that if 8GB struggles already.

No time in the world we going to use 4GB vram on this game.

[olive spear]

Ohh shoot didn’t know there was one my bad

[ionic remnant]

You can play it at 800x600 at 4gb vram

[rough echo]

All good you can find a ton of helpful info on gamma there

[coarse linden]

I would rather wait for better tech that doesnt require you to jump hoops to keep it usable for next 8 years.

[plucky quail]

If someone would sell a Good Oled that has nothing on it like burn in i would buy it. 300$ range for 4k 240 or 165. But talking about old old gen like 1st or 2nd

[coarse linden]

Sub 200€ for brand new 1440p I probably would consider it

Used oled i would put in same category as used electric vehicle which is not in this life

[ionic remnant]

I also want a Ferrari for 300 euros

And a 5090 for 800

[plucky quail]

Bro we are 4th gen. The older ones had really bad burnin issues. It’s not much to ask for since it also used

[coarse linden]

Only thing going for the tech is that they can print it cheaply and upsell to gamers as shiny new thing

[austere crest]

Too expensive; I want 5090 for $10. Fully functional, no compromises.

[ionic remnant]

Really ? Production cost is low ?

Guess i will just pass on it for another 6 months

Just scared the newer ones at 720hz+ gonna cost 1k (when i just want 240hz)

[coarse linden]

As i recall panel cost is about 75 - 130 dollars for 27"

[ionic remnant]

Insane

Maybe not enough production hence the cost ?

Genuinely think the only real 4k capable card rn is 5090

[coarse linden]

Some try to kill R&D costs and some just simply collect profit before chineses sweatshops get their hands on to printers en mass

[ionic remnant]

When do you think that might happen

[coarse linden]

Pure speculation 3 years

By that time MicroLED should start becoming the new hot and OLED becoming what led panels are now

[ionic remnant]

I microled really that good ?

[coarse linden]

Would say so since it doesnt have brightness limit nor same finite lifespan as oled while giving same benefits as oled

Downside its bloody expensive as of now but Apple is working with it so surely rest of the industry will too since people love apple cult

[ionic remnant]

Idk man do you need a monitor to survive more than 8 years ?

[coarse linden]

I bought this one 11 years ago

Still holds up nicely

[ionic remnant]

I got burn in on my phone after 6 years and thats a one plus without any oled care

But i guess it runs less bright than a monitor

[coarse linden]

OLED is very attractive for manufacturers since its got limited lifetime and you are likely to buy same brand to replace it

[plucky quail]

See perfect for people that think old is ass. 4th gen vs 1st gen sound so diff that they sell it for 300$ to me gone with the Burning Oled

[thick marten]

Is it normal that i use my phone on maximum brightness

[plucky quail]

no

[ionic remnant]

You genuinely shouldnt care just put adaptive brightness tho

[thick marten]

Adaptive is so damn irritating

[coarse linden]

Cant wait for EU directive finally kick in and force phone makers make the battery changeable by average idiot like it use to be

[plucky quail]

I use it at the lowest so my Eyes dont get any health issues down the line

[ionic remnant]

Smart thats a good reason

[ionic remnant]

That'd be the dream
Most modern phones have good enough chips and fast storage that the only thing really aging it is battery

[thick marten]

I dont know how i would get used to lower brightness but i might just try it out

[coarse linden]

Think it was by 2027

[plucky quail]

My monitors are also 40cm away to not get blind if a flashbang goes of. I see some that have the monitor at a angle and are 5cm away from the screen. Dont really get what benefit that gonna give in games

[ionic remnant]

Cant send the caseoh holy light meme gif

[thick marten]

Thats probably for the best

[ionic remnant]

Does mini led objectively look better than oled ?

[coarse linden]

Some say with enough dimming zones it does look good

But better? Dont think so

[ionic remnant]

So its just a life span thing

[plucky quail]

Yea helps in the future to not needing a doc.
Good that Germany has free health and tries to Educate the people heathy. In the US you cant do that with free health the people would overwhelm the hospitals with Diabetes

[coarse linden]

And Variable refresh rate doesnt flicker on miniled as it does on oled

[thick marten]

Good thing im in europe and not the US

[ionic remnant]

Ah yea i read a ton of issues with that

A friend of mine bought an asus 240hz woled theres flickering apparently

He said something about a firmware or something thats going to roll out to fix it

[coarse linden]

1000+ dim zone minileds should be decent stop gap in my opinion. And those dont really cost livers worth nowdays

[thick marten]

Just kidneys

[plucky quail]

When micro LED?

[coarse linden]

Full scale commercialization should begin in 2027 at this years forecast

[plucky quail]

Do they have any Monitors presented? Or just TVs

and how about price

[thick marten]

I don't think we should talk about the price...

I'd bet its really expensive

Probably a couple thousand

[coarse linden]

Mostly just presented tiles lol

Thing is you can build more or less any size TV with those

[thick marten]

That's nice

[coarse linden]

Would be funny if in future you could just buy extra tiles to make your TV bigger if you felt like it lol

[thick marten]

Do they like connect to each other without any seams or how do they work?

[coarse linden]

connect without seams

We dont really know backstage stuff of it how it exactly works but there are plenty of expo demos where they plug from tiles middle of the screen and move it to edge etc

[thick marten]

I might look into this, it sounds pretty interesting

[plucky quail]

I mean i hope its just cheaper. "They" also say the plan is to have a cheaper thing against oled. Have no compromise and still cost less.

[coarse linden]

Wont be cheaper for while

As is with all new tech

[thick marten]

We'll see, but i really dont believe they will be cheaper

[coarse linden]

If you see Samsung saying MicroLED pay attention does it say RGB MicroLED because that is actually MiniLED

Samsung and their bastard misleading way of naming things

[plucky quail]

EU get him. He faking

I hate when they do that

[coarse linden]

Its fine because its got the "RGB" front of it

[thick marten]

Oh yeah sure, its got rgb in the name so more people are gonna buy it, its just a marketing stunt

[coarse linden]

Just like they name their LCD tv's QLED so folk who dont pay attention think its OLED

[plucky quail]

🤓 ☝🏼 UHH my honor this says clearly RGB

[past escarp]

What is cheaper and by how much?

[bold sun]

rx its at 680 euros and rtx at 800

i know 5070 ti performs a lil better

with rt and dlss being better than fsr

[tawny thicket]

do you plan to play any games with path tracing ?

[bold sun]

i never did before, dont know if its a life changing thing

[tawny thicket]

path tracing is pretty much the peak of graphics however its only in a few games

[plucky quail]

Its only few games but they make the games look more realistic.

[tawny thicket]

(below 10 IIRC)

[bold sun]

do u think that will become the new graphic standart or its just like a prototype thing ?

[tawny thicket]

would need a crystal ball to determine that
however with todays hardware it is simply not feasable

[plucky quail]

For now its more prototype. It will become more but also harder to run. It really what you think

[bold sun]

man im having a hard time with this one ....

do u know something bout the drivers of both cards?

i mean, at this moment the only game its giving a hard time to run its stalker 2, but i know 8 gb vram its starting to be obsolete, and any of both options are an upgrade, with the 5070 ti i have a pretty consistent gpu, but with the 9070 xt with the price difference i can install like 32 gb of ram more in my pc

[plucky quail]

Both good for the Future. If you dont plan any way to play PT or maybe any RT go for the 9070XT. Its still hard to run on the best GPUs so gonna take a while till we see 50% of our games shipped with that.

[bold sun]

okey thx for the info guys

[tawny thicket]

Nvidiais having more issues with drivers at the moment than AMD

[tawny thicket]

also, id expect RDNA 4 RT performance to get significanlty better when redstone comes out

since NRC SER and OMM are gonna get supported (probably all at once)

[plucky quail]

Not only that DXR gets a Update with many features that Nvidia already has. Gonna make Amd Faster.

so currently AMD is just bruteforcing RT

[pure ibex]

Bro Radeon is getting redstone

Most insane crossover ever

🔥

[bold sun]

whats that, redstone

[pure ibex]

I looked it up will give better frame gen don’t care

But will improve rt performance

[plucky quail]

9000 supports DXR1.3 that is still not out.
Lets see how much its gonna improve

[tawny thicket]

its AMD answer to RR, DL-FG, NRC (ReSTir even ?)

[plucky quail]

Now thats a ok powerdraw

[pure ibex]

For what it’s worth it does look really cool

Though I’m sure it will cost a million bux

It’s suppose to look similar to the original rog card

I mean Nvidia works with Microsoft to get that stuff in DXR lol

Microsoft actually updated OMMs blogpost with
"AMD: Support is planned on future hardware platforms."

So who knows if AMD will support OMMs on RDNA 4

Which is kinda sad if they dont..

[hollow kettle]

What is OMM? And to me it feels like rdna 4 was just a baby step to cover until UDNA. But maybe my feeling is wrong lol hopefully rdna 4 and udna share features. Or rdna 5 whatever the heck it is. I have seen it called both

Supposed many things gonna come back improved like chiplets.
This gen they didn’t do since prob 1st didn’t have to cuz they don’t have a 80/90 card and it would make the whole Prozess more complex

It's microsoft... it can rot in hell.

A fantastic bit of software, that just nukes Microsofts bloat.

I was watching some youtube regarding tech, and this popped up in the conversation

[austere crest]

If you're going to de-bloat, at least use something well-known, like Chris Titus' thing.

Besides, de-bloating can also break stuff, so better to use the IoT LTSC version. Least bloat.

[nimble nexus]

I have used CTT, I even paid the $10 for.

And the thing is legit. I am not in the habit of blindly following random stuff.

[austere crest]

Fair enough.

But anyways, DX is here to stay since Windows is used by most people.

127 Canadian Dollars currently for the 2019 version.

[nimble nexus]

yeah, not paying that or giving money to microsoft.

[austere crest]

2021 version for $263.

[nimble nexus]

yeah.... not gonna happen.

[austere crest]

Well, ya asked. Though, of course, you can just get the ISO, install and go.

[nimble nexus]

And thank you for the info... I thought it was a download you could use your license for... but it is a whole new separate thing.

[austere crest]

You can download the ISO and use your key, if you have one. Else you can use it without activating, considering Windows 10 has always been 'free' by Microsoft.

Especially since they forced everyone to move from the vastly superior 7.

[nimble nexus]

7 was a dream, I installed it on an old machine a month or so a go 😄

On an SSD the thing was just so fast

XP was another great OS

[austere crest]

Same...but I can't use it because no iGPU drivers and no USB3.

[nimble nexus]

They need to bring windows 7 back, call it windows 7 retro edition 😄

[austere crest]

Now only if...I'd take it in a heart-beat. Screw modern OS, NGL.

[nimble nexus]

I remember one, trying to install a version of windows into ram 😄

[austere crest]

How even...?

[nimble nexus]

It is possible, but you have to make a ram drive, but I cant remeber how you did that, but there was software around that allowed you to run things from ram

[austere crest]

RAM drives are fine, it's the whole 'install OS and reboot the virtual drive' that I'm confused about.

[austere crest]

Can just make a RAM disk and use it that way.

[nimble nexus]

I can't remember, I tried it so long ago, and it was insanely quick... You just couldn't turn off the PC 😄

[austere crest]

Well, that sounds like a PITA, NGL.

[nimble nexus]

PITA?

[austere crest]

"Pain in the rear".

[nimble nexus]

Nah, it was quite easy, me and my friend just messed about with it for giggles

[austere crest]

I mean the 'can't turn off the PC' part.

[nimble nexus]

games where amazing on it 😄

[austere crest]

TBF, a multi-GB (like, 128 or more) RAM drive doesn't sound like a bad idea...run OS on it and save everything to a virtual drive every so often.

Only problem is booting properly.

[nimble nexus]

Yeah I know, there is/was a way, but installing games on it... nuts... Loading is not something it does... It just is.

[austere crest]

The way is a physical RAM drive...PCI-e expansion with multiple RAM sticks.

With current RAM, you can probably shove 512 GB sticks in each slot...let's say 4 slots...easy 2 TB, never-wearing, highly volatile storage.

[nimble nexus]

yeah, that is one way. Not tried it recently, so when I tried it, we had nothing like that.

[austere crest]

So what, software-only?

[nimble nexus]

yeah, that is how we did it... Using the actual RAM of the PC.

[austere crest]

But how did you run the OS? In a VM?

[nimble nexus]

no, installed to the ram

We got the games working, can;t remember if we got the os working though... so long ago.

[austere crest]

If you ever find a way, let me know; I'm interested in trying it out.

[nimble nexus]

I will do, but I think the ability to do that is long gone 😄

[austere crest]

Still, doesn't hurt to try. Also, talking about this...since I now have 40 GB of RAM...maybe I can start to learn Linux in a VM, but install that VM to a RAM drive. Or rather, the 'storage'.

[nimble nexus]

I might have been as far back DoS 6.2... The school I went too hand some seriously outdated equipment

maybe 95/98

[austere crest]

Damn, you is an antique.

[nimble nexus]

No that old thank you, just had a geek dad

[austere crest]

95 was my very first OS, but I don't remember much. And of 98, I only remember the theme manager.

[nimble nexus]

got to mess about on stuff...

[austere crest]

I'm jealous, NGL.

Never had the chance to tinker much, but I still became good enough to at least assemble PCs...and install OS. Not much beyond that.

[nimble nexus]

I really wished I had got into programming

but alas, children are fools

[austere crest]

I mean...never to late to learn, eh?

[nimble nexus]

If my brain wasn't such a mess.

And it's not something I could learn on my own 🙁

[austere crest]

?

[tawny thicket]

? its agenuinely good feature

[ebon epoch]

So I upgraded my nvidia drivers to current

And now my utilization will sit at like 40% but my game will run at 20 fps

Is this what crazy pills feel like

[tawny thicket]

#blame Nvidia

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[ebon epoch]

I mean

if at 40% my game runs at about 30 fps, I'd say this is a step on the right direction

now I just need the remaining 60% load to be available ig

[tawny thicket]

Nvidia's driver team got replaced by AI

and the AI thought whatever it did was a good idea

[ebon epoch]

I have no clue what's going on though

'cause I've been able to drive my gpu to 100% with u+, it's not pretty, and the fans will start sounding like it's about to lift off, but I mean at least I can get it to go to 100%

but after updating the drivers, nothing maxes out. CPU will max out during cache generation, and the game honestly runs at a pretty decent 40-50 ish fps (which is great for these utilization rates) but it won't go up to 60 like it should

idk I guess I'll try just disabling the 3070 and running off the 5060 in case my computer is getting confused or smth

[hazy arch]

Nope, you checking your internet connection through a speed test 4MB up and down. Switch computer on, steam says no internet. Task manager says no internet usage. Chrome opens youtube and stutters on a video. Hour later Windows says restart for a update. Now you have internet.

[plucky quail]

Windows at its best

Best way to prevent is to have a USB stick with all the drivers you need on a new installed windows.

[ionic remnant]

Just disabled igpu

And I did a safe 7800x3D undervolt at -15mv

Also i reduce the fan curve my system was doing quite a bit of sound

Did this:

0 °C 10%
45 °C 30%
75°C 50%
90°C 100%

Instead of stock which was :

0 °C 20%
45 °C 35%
65°C 70%
80°C 100%

[tawny thicket]

have you tried rolling back ?

[ebon epoch]

I'm not a fan of rolling back drivers, but first I want to try overriding for max performance and "ultra" low latency

I mean if I'm gonna get 40 fps, might as well be without my gpu sounding like it's about to fly off the case lol

[tawny thicket]

just roll back drivers, doesnt hurt at all
plus it'd save you lots of time

[ebon epoch]

if that fails, I might try with the vulkan dev drivers, I had p good experience with those back with mohun wilds so if I'm going ddu might as well try

I mean it won't hurt, but I'd rather try to give the current drivers some elbow grease before ddu'ing and reinstalling

the performance numbers do look promising tbh, just need to figure out what's bottlenecking the gpu

could be a bad reading somewhere too, no idea

[tawny thicket]

the driver just sucks
probably

[ebon epoch]

that's a probability

however if we're going by this logic we'd still be using drivers from 2005 so I'm always a bit skeptical of that first reaction

every single patch nvidia has ever released has had someone be like "man these drivers suck I'm rolling them back"

every. single. one. without. exception.

[tropic bobcat]

Their more recent drivers do indeed “suck” for the most part. They’ve been going downhill for quite some time.

[ebon epoch]

yeahh so it looks like my dual gpu lossless scaling setup was the problem here most likely -_-

disabling the 3070 and plugging the monitor straight into the 5060ti is now giving me 60 fps on mostly epic at 1440p (outside of hubs obv)

nothing on the readings suggests that the whole deal was being dragged down by the 3070 and this hasn't been the case previously, but idk, I understand that this isn't exactly an nvidia-sanctioned application so anything goes

I disabled iGPU and did -15mv all cores undervolt

Went from 75W on light load to 35W

Insane honestly

[twin jungle]

anyone encountered the issue of gpu being power limited to 50% of it's potential in skadovsk and shevchenko?

[reef zenith]

My card tends to max out usage at times, but not max out power. In stalker 2

[plucky quail]

Power in Wattage or power in % usage

[ionic remnant]

Nico did u try disabling ur igpu

[plucky quail]

No cuz I use it

[ionic remnant]

Why lol

[plucky quail]

Editing makes much easier and recording makes my fps much higher. I loose much less fps with it

[plucky quail]

But on intel it shouldn’t do anything in power since it’s using idle almost nothing

[worn jay]

ah yes youy have an amd gpu

but fr

i guess if it doesnt use much on idle, mine used 25-30W

[ionic remnant]

xD

[plucky quail]

Yea maybe that’s where the idle inefficiency on amd comes from with somewhat 50w

god this recomended spec stuff f-ing sucks

so they put the B580, 9070, 5070 in the same performance class

at "4K" and then they say its 60fps
even though they also note "with FG"

[spare coral]

B580

[real kraken]

Unoptimized cpu

[ionic remnant]

Frame gen to hit 60 fps should be illegal

[mighty barn]

yhea, bc if I use frame gen, I lose frames

[coarse linden]

Oh my.. First time seeing X870 board that shares PCIe lanes between M.2 slot and USB4 instead neutering the 5.0 PCIe slot if you put M.2 in it

Why the f didnt they think that before releasing half useless boards that neuter your main GPU slot if you put 2nd M.2

[plucky quail]

What dumb ass company would do that on a high end ???

As I've said
AMD will keep losing market share like this

[plucky quail]

How can amd be loosing if all the other markets from diff regions report either that they have the highest sale on amd GPUs since recording or the just outright beating Nvidia in sales.

That must be just people that sell AI GPUs to china

[worn jay]

They said that this every time

It's just publicity speech

[twin jungle]

no, the gpu wattage limit only happens on Zaton ships. i play with upscale from 900-something-p to 1440p and 90% of the time the game feels smooth on medium-high settings

[worn jay]

I don't think RDNA4 sold worse than RDNA3. But I think Blackwell sold waaaaay more than Ada Lovelace than people realise.

@plucky quail

[plucky quail]

I don’t think so for gaming. They might got sold more cuz people bought it for ai to sell it on high price to china.

That’s probably also why in Eu amd even beats in sales cuz nobody gonna buy ai GPUs to ship them around the world.

We see also so many new ai startups in china that need to get ai GPUs from somewhere.

The umbers don’t add up it doesn’t compute

[coarse linden]

Congratulations. You just discovered how well optimized AI is on unreal engine. Bunch of NPC's in 1 area will make your CPU crawl thus cpu bottleneck.

[coarse linden]

Plenty of AI start ups in EU as well trying to poach cards

[plucky quail]

Yea but they have the Benefit to buy straight from Nvidia the bigger ai chips.

[coarse linden]

Small ones buy from scalpers or hire people to buy cards for them to get around 1 per customer rule

I know couple that announced they were buying 30 5090s at launch and that they are willing to pay 500€ over the price you bought the card lol

[late ferry]

🐺 🐺

[worn jay]

Not trying to be rude but you don't know the majority of audience literally buy Nvidia cus it's a "safe brand option"
AMD isn't established as them
They keep changing names every few gens, like Xbox and try to slightly undercut every time

[plucky quail]

The research just counts for the sales of GPUs not to who it’s getting sold to.

I am not saying the research is wrong but that it’s nothing we can go by. It looks more clear that the sales a huge on only AI.

We ain’t In a new pandemic.
Not everyone startet to buy GPUs out of nowhere where amd made a gain In his gaming sector and huge sales in other parts of the world with it sometimes beating Nvidia in sold GPUs.
That now more joes buy Nvidia for gaming all of a sudden.

[worn jay]

Steam survey also says 5070 and 5060 are gaining share while there is no rdna4

[plucky quail]

Yea but that would mean rdna 3 was more successful than 4

Much more. And that doesn’t compute too.

[worn jay]

It was at the start of the month

[worn jay]

Of launch

[worn jay]

And Blackwell ramped up even more production because TSMC gives them cus they sell more

[plucky quail]

Would still not explain retails selling over Nvidia GPUs what never happened before.

Except Nvidia found India as new market and everyone there is now rich to buy GPUs

[worn jay]

Nvidia was cheaper than amd through this gen besides the first week of launch
Now Nvidia here is 100 euro cheaper 5070 > 9070

AMD didn't drop price since February it just went up and stayed up

[plucky quail]

Amd didn’t have any GPUs in February

[worn jay]

Was it march then
My point stands still
It was msrp at launch then went up

[coarse linden]

Early march was XT launch

[plucky quail]

But that would still not explain why retailers report more sold margins.

[worn jay]

This is the first case where AMD was more expensive than Nvidia at the mid range so they failed

[worn jay]

Mindfactory is the only retailer that is pro amd and some south Korean
The rest is vast Nvidia majority

[plucky quail]

Retailers in eu report the same thing. They are more local but still big sales.

[worn jay]

Yea it's one out of thousands

[plucky quail]

That’s much more buyers in eu than % wise in other continents. Not even talking about the record 3x in mindfactory over.

Even Argentina has cheaper 9070xts over 5070ti 25% cheaper. I can’t tell the numbers but if everywhere would have overpriced Amd gpus then I would understand but it doesn’t.

Ey maybe people are actually that stupid and buy the same gpu for 25% up-price but I cant believe real individual people buy still Nvidia for that much.

[worn jay]

Yeah mindfactory sold more but barely

[plucky quail]

Barely they sold ~440 9070xt vs 200 5070ti

Both are the most sold from each brand. Not even talking about the other 300 9060xt

Sorry I was wrong 5070 tie and non ti both do ~270

[worn jay]

That out of millions

Is drop in the water

[plucky quail]

We know that’s not the only case.
It’s not that Germans are the smartest being in the world that they are the only ones figuring out cheaper for same performance.

The same has France, Türkiye , Argentina and Nederland. All in top sold GPUs are amd GPUs. Sometimes taking top spot sometimes 2nd.

[hollow kettle]

I dont think they failed bc launch day was so successful

We just need Intel B770 or whatever they would call a high end mid range gpu lol

[spare coral]

Playing cronos the new dawn and it works just as bad (if not worse) as SH2 remake

[ebon epoch]

boob team does it again

[worn jay]

In the long run Is terrible

Nvidia 94% AMD 6%
Outsold 15 to 1 in Q2

[tawny thicket]

all i know is that HW lumen is way too expensive in that game

-50% on ADA IIRC

while in MGS delta i only got -10% IIRC

(on RDNA 4)

[tawny thicket]

it also looks the same as SW lumen lol

[worn jay]

H1 reports have 19.4M GPUs shipped for Nvidia, vs 1.4M for AMD. So if AMD managed to sell all 1.4M GPUs, while Nvidia sold only 10% of their shipping, They will still sold more GPUs than AMD.

[tawny thicket]

okay, its more like 12%

but still

[ionic remnant]

amd is better

[tawny thicket]

or maybe just cronos sucks and MGS delta doesnt

[plucky quail]

Maybe the 94% comes from People that buy Prebuilds. Would make sense why the 5070 Is so popular cuz they fall for the Marketing BS. Uninformed people buying it and wondering why they dont have 4090 Performance
Least in DIY market its pretty much 50-50 on sales if you do own research on diff stores in diff nations.

[ionic remnant]

[ornate forum]

it'll be close, especially if the rumoured delay for the faster vram turns out to be true

if the price is close to what the leak says it will also hopefully finally get the 4090 prices drop to reasonable levels lol

[ionic remnant]

it will be really close 4090 will still be 1-5% ahead i think

if we consider 4090 is 16% faster than 5080
but yea i think 5080 super will be a very good buy at 1000 eur

[plucky quail]

Yea same thought here. Its not gonna beat but they gonna be same in performance pretty much.

[tawny thicket]

i think the 5080 Supah will just have the 3GB modules with a small OC and thats it

so
no, not gonna even come close to ze 4090

[hollow kettle]

Who cares?

[plucky quail]

Tho cant the non Super card already OC really good?

[hollow kettle]

Aint even a 50 series worth buying other than 5090 at msrp

5070ti too exepsnive even at msrp same with 5080. Both 16gb vram trash for almost thousand dollars

[worn jay]

Nvidia increasing prices AMD follows
Repeat until 70 class is 1000$

[hollow kettle]

Inflation is gonna do that for them at least in US 😅

Scared to see economy in 5-10 years

[worn jay]

Also 0 competition

Gonna Speedrun it

[ionic remnant]

what are you on about 5070ti is really a great gpu it can OC +10% on all cards as well btw

[hollow kettle]

6% market share is not 0

[coarse linden]

I mean competition would require AMD to innovate instead playing catch up with copying what nvidia does 2 years later

[hollow kettle]

Dumb to pay $700+ for 16gb vram just like it is dumb to pay $500+ for 12gb

Just my opinion anyway

[ionic remnant]

3080ti has 12gb of vram for info

i think vram inflation is very real

[hollow kettle]

I am talking about rn this gen current pricing

[ionic remnant]

4070ti as well

yea but like what do you want more on 1440p

[hollow kettle]

Bro I am using all 16gb of my vram in multiple games rn at 1440p

At least 3 but 1 might be memory leak

I know nvidia is better at managing vram usage by a bit but still

[plucky quail]

First ST (Sound Traced) Game. So in R6 i can finally hear where the stupid enemy is

[ionic remnant]

but is ur vram spilling to your ram

and do you have an amd or nvidia gpu

probably amd

[hollow kettle]

I have 9070 and in no mans sky it doesnt seem to go into ram much kinda just hovers 15.9-16gb vram utilization and yes i made sure it was actual utilization. Kcd2 also uses upwards of 14-15gb in some areas. 12gb-13gb majority of playtime, and Indiana jones with path tracing supreme settings 🤣 1000% spilled into ram this time

[ionic remnant]

mmm i wonder how much kcd2 takes on my game

i got ultra settings with experimental on some + i have all the graphics mods and texture upscaling

[hollow kettle]

But it is funnier to say it about your gpu

[plucky quail]

Thats any game. YOu cant play RT on a 4070Super on 1440P That thing gives up after 1h

[ionic remnant]

yea but 16gb with dlss latest model is fine i think

i think 18gb would have been perfect for 5070ti and 24gb for 5080

[hollow kettle]

I think in no man's sky it is vram leak somehow. Idk much about how that stuff happens, I assume there is stuff getting loaded in and then never loaded out or whatever the proper terms are

[plucky quail]

I dont think for the Nvidia Features if you want to get use of of it.
Yea 18gb would be Fine but 24 should be on a high end for PT gpu

[hollow kettle]

I load up same area using same settings two different times and there was more vram used the second time in same area after playing for a few hours

[coarse linden]

Would have required bus width neutering

[hollow kettle]

Like 13gb vs 16gb

[coarse linden]

And i dont think we would have liked to see another 970 shenanigans

[hollow kettle]

I had one lol never knew about that until couple months ago 🤣

That was my first ever desktop gpu actually

[coarse linden]

If 5080 or 5070ti would have had 24gb at launch no gamer would have seen these cards

[plucky quail]

with how much they produced it would been enough but they Couldnt sell it to china where they slap 24GB on and Nvidia dont need to pay for it

[coarse linden]

Oh also... Git gud scrub

[hollow kettle]

AI turds would bot every card sale if they had more vram at launch lol

Probably what will happen to super cards

[tawny thicket]

I also think PT crashing on RDNA 4 is due to a memory leak

Nico started out with 18GB of VRAM use

And ended up with 21GB after 20 minutes

[plucky quail]

That was fun

[plucky quail]

Yea windows is ass just full of bloat and spy software.

Quick question why did you buy the 5070TI as a small Survey

[coarse linden]

Windows is ass but if you want to play multiplayer games kinda need it

[fiery rose]

Any tips for flicking in puddles?

Also flicking shadows ?

[hazy arch]

Do you meen flicker? Also is it red? If the artifacting is red, I think the lads came to the consensus it's Nvidia drivers having a rough year.

[fiery rose]

Hi Niel not red just like a weird black flicking happens on shadows also

[true brook]

5070Ti was a gift from a friend

[serene meteor]

I got one rtx 4070 super but I'm saving for another one because I want to sli the

[coarse linden]

Havent you heard? SLI is long dead

[serene meteor]

Its nostalgia for me i had a computer i lost back in the day

Was sli 8800gts nvidia

And besides what's replacing sli these days

[coarse linden]

I mean drivers dont even support it

[hazy arch]

Had a 8600 gts I think. It was great. Only had like 1GB vram. Played WoW alright.

[coarse linden]

And there is no replacement

Multigpu is dead in eyes of games

[serene meteor]

Then that means they made cards that simulate sli in a single card

[coarse linden]

Games to support multi gpu is on shoulders of developers with DX12 and absolutely no developer does it

[serene meteor]

Interesting
