I think it is easy and simplistic to lash out at Corsair and Zotac. I am not dismissing or forgetting any behavior just keeping perspective that those companies and many others are also victims of the AI boom and greedy chip makers. GEEZE - I just AI'd how long and how much to open a new fab...

Very interesting. Maybe the difference in the driver/hardware we are rendering with? The 7900xtx is supposed to be a beast with pure rastor, right? Once I get my new router tomorrow (if on time) I'll test on my Corsair a1600 (6800hs + 6800m w/12gb vram). My Asus laptop, with its shared memory...

Full lumen - maxed out doesnt seem to change anything in how the game feels - dropped in a HDR mod too. IMO for a single player RPG any FPS over 30 is good and over 60 is great - so long as no stutters, tears, or other distractions which I am not seeing. Even with the 'feel' being the same it...

Been playing Oblivion (@4k native), not so deep in as yet, no sign of troubles, stutters or problems - though, I do have a decent toy to play it on. Only thing not fully maxed in settings is the RT - think I will check that out now though. See what it does to my FPS. What adrenaline has to say:

I did not take this as an insult. Merely as an untruth. I assume we should agree that we do not agree.

Avowed, BG3, Elden Ring, Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, New World, POE 1/2, Starfield, Cyberpunk. Mind, I don't have impressive times played for every single one, I do own them all in Steam and have had them up and running. I rarely use upscaling. Only when I have no choice. With RT off my GPU...

Us 4k-gamers are taking it in the Donkey on this arent we? Having 16gb+ is not so optional. Should I buy one of those 1440p ultrawide? I still dont think 8gb would be, well, good. I see higher GPU pricing with even higher GPU scalping in the future. May not be the best at RT, just the...

All very interesting. I will be interested in seeing performance numbers for gaming, under Steam OS and Win 11.

Wellllllllllll......... I have had more than one person (including my sister) call me frantic about the new virus they have, which constantly is doing pop-ups galore in the bottom right of their screen.

My question, asked entirely out of self interest, does this fps loss affect AMD/Intel GPU's too or was it just NV?

Xp was the first one I felt was 'real' not quite as crash prone as 95/98/me - I remember having to reinstall 98 4 times in one day because of .dll conflicts. Vista/7 were each incrementally more solid and less crash prone. 8 looked goofy, like a phone OS, but worked just fine. IMO 10 was...

ME didnt have the time to hit it's stride, IMhO Vista, again IMhO, the OS/giu etc were fine. It was just a pissant poor product launch. MS did get much resistance from developers, including big companies, to making new drivers. The sound blaster I had at the time never got a new driver. Had to...

Power efficiency does seem a good place for Intel to focus. Outside of server farms no one seems to consider cost of use - or perhaps I am just a penny pincher?

And I own (owned if I cant find the box/license I suppose) most of those versions. Starting with 3.1.

If only AMD were to pull a "Ryzen" in the GPU space? By which I mean come up with a new idea or design that just blows away the competition. I'd like to see Intel get out a higher end card too.

I suspect AMD ran into a specific wall with the 9k series. Again, just a guess or if you prefer intuition, I think they did build high end prototypes and the die/chip (what's the right word) was just plain needing too much power to run at competitive speeds. If not that some other technical...

Pretty nifty. I suppose it is too much to hope that this trickles down to the 7k series too?

My wondering, what new features either-or GUI or under the hood would a Win 12 bring? I tend to be a new to new-ish adopter of OS's. Really the only I ever wished I had waited a bit more was Vista and that was just the Driver issues - it took like a year to get some of my pieces and parts on my...

Game looks nice. Are we at another GPU 'Crysis?' One where software is a generation or two more intense than hardware currently supports? Did watch the whole Vid, so I didn't catch if there were many Ray Trace options. If there are, how much does it degrade the visuals and increase the raster...

What's the power draw on the b60's? Single and Duo? I am a but curious. Cost of operating is a big part (for me anyways) of a buy decision too.
