    Onboard video on 9800X3D :(

    Ryzen 395 tried to prove that wrong. Unfortunately, AI hype blew sky high and while it's good for that particular product's sales, not good for integrated GPU fanatics coz prices also doubled overnight.

    Onboard video on 9800X3D :(

    Are you being serious? Have you not seen the benchmarks? https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-ultra-9-285k/23.html Please stop with the "some settings are wrong" thing. I know you to be a techie. You have got to be trolling. But in case you have a genuine need to play on integrated...

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    That definitely sounds like a typically selfish Nvidia "recommendation". They don't care about giving the best to their customers. They just want current 5090 owners to get hooked on DLSS5 so bad that they won't mind paying $10K for 6090 whenever it arrives. Also, anyone who has followed...

    Early Reviews for Marvel’s Wolverine Are Mixed at Best, Pointing Out Repetitive and Uninspiring Gameplay with an Overabundance of Handholding

    I don't like Wolverine's costume either. I don't care how lore accurate it is. I'm more accustomed to seeing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and this character doesn't look anything like that. He honestly looks like a bad guy which would be fine except Wolverine's movies haven't portrayed him as a bad...

    Not great when a 90s game starts getting input latency issues.

    Probably Bound to Happen: Increased Power Draw for DLSS 5 Reportedly Claims Its First Victim After a User Finds an RTX 5090 with a Melted Power Ada...

    Yes but I was referring to the local heat build up. Glass cases are especially bad in trapping heat. The airflow may help reduce the likelihood of reaching the ignition point.

    I think bad case airflow is also a factor. If there is no serious air current pushing the heat out, the GPU will slowly get cooked. I can't recall if there's been any reports of a liquid cooled 5090 failing.

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    I've seen a few more games with it on Youtube and it seems experimental to me so far. It can't do all that much in older games. Makes them look slightly nicer but nothing you can't live without. Nice bonus if you have the hardware but not enough to crave it and buy an RTX card if you have a...

    Early Reviews for Marvel’s Wolverine Are Mixed at Best, Pointing Out Repetitive and Uninspiring Gameplay with an Overabundance of Handholding

    All they had to do was get environmental damage right. And Wolverine latching onto moving vehicles and even planes or helicopters. Scaling buildings. Falling from a building and breaking the fall at the last minute by jamming his claws into the side of the building. A "rabid" mode where whoever...

    If DLSS5 is able to make a non-pathtraced scene look like a pathtraced scene and at the same time be faster, ok then I guess it could be viable.

    I read somewhere (from someone who did stuff like this for a living) that no engineer worth his salt would ever design a spec as full of swiss cheese holes as this one. I remember that the guy responsible for AMD Bulldozer architecture was actually well respected inside the company. This could...

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    Which games did you try it on? Which games seem to really benefit visually? What was the power draw like on your 4080?

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    Totally agree that this seems like a cop out from publishers. They want quickly developed slop and want to pay less hours worked to artists. It's one thing to elevate a poorly developed game's visuals to make it more palatable but almost criminal for a AAA game to be developed from the start...

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    The one least wanting to do that is Nvidia because they know that's an easy goal to reach for their competition. However, if they were to create a "Play Anywhere" 3D standard that would downscale the graphics to whatever device is being used, be it a phone or tablet or laptop or desktop from...

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    Explains why Apple wants nothing to do with them after the GPU bumpgate fiasco. Nvidia has always been an arrogant company and don't care about taking responsibility for their mistakes. And the sad thing is that consumers are the enablers. And ironically they are the ones most shafted by Nvidia...

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    I do wonder how normal 600W ASUS 5090 BTF cards do. Someone should test them to see what's the max power that can be drawn through that connector without burning a hole in the mobo. They could be the key to enjoying 5090 cards safely with DLSS 5 once the AI bubble pops and the market is flooded...
