TL;DR They're mostly just improving the delivery mechanism.

Title had me confused. Raising Canes is some gud chiggun.

Worth noting that driver-level AMD Fluid Motion Frame is basically universal to DX11/DX12 games. Easiest way to double your FPS with negligible latency. I use it every day for Helldivers 2, anywhere from 170-240 fps at 1440P max settings with maybe 10-20ms of added latency.

If you have Hogwarts Legacy, boot it up, turn on FSR 2 and hop over to the Forbidden Forest. The foliage is a noisy mess whenever its in motion.

Here's the MLID video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV7BJKnZfP8 Isn't 67 TFLOPs of FP16 closer to the RX 7700 XT?

Disagree with this. HUB's rationale is based on the combined RT and raster performance, a standard that they don't uniformly apply to the other tiers. Even their own data (albeit a bit old now) shows the 7900 XT is a closer match to the 4070 Ti. I can't entirely blame them given the RDNA 3...

Many were getting crashes related to the game's Screen-space Global Illumination, including me. Turned that off and it's been solid. Trying the new driver shortly..

Just upgraded to Win11 yesterday to test the HDR support. Thanks for pointing this out. For anyone else looking for this setting, press Win-key + I, then go here:

I'd sooner stick my dick in a blender than trust that sale. Is this an offer you received here? Who's the "trader."

Dead. The LG 27GR95QE is back up to $999.99.

Well damn, how am I going to push 300+ fps? Time to get a $1600 GPU after all! :ROFLMAO:

Every year I tell my wife my upgrade will last 3 years. Stop tempting me. I'm going to tell the truth for once.

Well this is [H], right? Yep, as always do your own research on the strengths and weaknesses of whatever hardware you're considering and how it fits into your use case and budget. E.g. in my case, a $1600+ GPU is likely just as inconceivable for my use case as a $600+ 1440P OLED is to you. Jump...

Yep, because OLED. IMO, it feels like the first time I switched from a TN panel to IPS panel in the early 2000s in terms of picture quality. It's no wonder 13 out of the top 15 reviewed gaming monitors at RTINGS.com are OLED/QD-OLED.

Just picked up this LG 27" 1440P OLED at Best Buy for $675 (pre-tax) after trading in an e-waste 1080P 60Hz TN panel I had in storage. In-store only and their recycle promotion is good for 10% off any LG monitor and ends on 4/27, full terms here. Just walk in with your recycled monitor...

A friend and former SEGA employee said there was a giant hiring spree at his studio during COVID-19 lockdowns when there was a boom in demand for video games. Well that wasn't sustainable and the chickens have come home to roost. His unit has laid off approximately 15-20% of its workforce...

Agreed that at $600 and up I expect at least 16GB of VRAM, but that shortcoming doesn't seem to be holding it back (yet?). In Techspot/HUB's 4K tests, its spot in the rankings vs 1080P and 1440P is virtually unchanged.

That's per lane. Not sure why CPUZ is reporting PCIe 4.0 on that board, it only supports PCIe 3.0 as far as I can tell. But the link speed it's reporting matches PCIe 3.0's specs. I think the problem is elsewhere.

Do you notice any difference when you run a clean boot. Clean boot helped me narrow down the culprit when I was having stability issues after upgrading from an Asus RTX 3060 Ti to ASRock RX 6900 XT due to the Asus software (GPU Tweak and Aura) freaking out.

Are you using some sort of PCIe riser? I know my B450 and B550 motherboards had issues with auto-selected PCIe generation with my Phanteks riser cable, and I had to manually set that in the BIOS/UEFI. Wondering if that CMOS reset is doing something to that PCIe gen setting.

Maybe it's MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner that's causing the issue. Uninstall them and try using the built-in Adrenalin overlay (CTRL+SHIFT+O).

WDYM? Cases are great these days. Other than the LSD trip courtesy of all the RGB, they've never been more intuitive and convenient to build, cable manage, and cool. Except for motherboard and fans, we're almost completely tool less now as well.

Hello, I got one of the launch units about 2 years ago and also have the OLED Limited Edition. Some may recall my post here where one of my launch Decks arrived DOA, and after sorting that out there were some growing pains with the official Deck Dock. Nearly a year later now my kids discovered...

Way easier. It weighs a little over a pound, it's about 1/2 the size of a typical laptop, in its case it's thicker but fits in all of my bags, and can be used in confined places such as economy seats on a plane without having to fold it open, fold down a tray, or set it on my lap.

It's even harder to match the Steam Deck today since the same 256GB LCD model from that video is now $400, down from $530 in that video. Linus also sprung for the $90 official Steam Deck Dock, bringing his total ticket price to ~$620. Today the official dock is $80, but you can still save $40 by...

Easier in what sense? Easy to use? My kids (age 5 and 7) picked it up quickly and can navigate to their games in a few seconds. Along the same vein, its more complicated features (browser, desktop mode, etc.) are tucked out of sight so they couldn't really get into trouble/mischief with it even...

It's become the kids' home gaming PC, essentially. For $350 and change, can't really build a new gaming PC that performs this well, much less one that I can also toss into my work bag/carry-on.

TBH, 99% of the time my Steam Deck is in use, it's docked with a keyboard and mouse. That said, Cities 2 runs like crap on the Deck (~15-20 fps). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgEKon3VCd4

Extremely tempting, but I'm over in 91789. :dead:

The flickering shadows are extremely distracting, but can't totally discount the progress. Expecting the artifacting will be mitigated significantly by this time next year.

I'd be happy with the keyboard, but the rest of that is complete junk. SODIMM memory?! :ROFLMAO:

I thought you were saying Stable Diffusion needed to be logged in, but maybe you were referring to the civitai link. If so, disregard. If this is something you're truly interesting in spending more time with, I'm thinking Stable Diffusion will end up being the more robust tool in the long run.

Stable Diffusion can be run on local hardware. I wonder if whatever this Asrock tool is can bake images for a bit longer because that drifting car looks like where Dall.E and Stable Diffusion were at 1-2 years ago. The same prompt in Midjourney is incredibly realistic, granted I don't know...

More "fake frames." :ROFLMAO:

Looks like they copied Vampire Survivors homework, but with cleaner sprite work.

Are you in the US? Many states have an implied warranty by law where "a device has to be able to do what it was designed to do, even if sold used" and "generally, customers have four years to enforce an implied warranty claim. However, some states do not allow exclusions or limitations on the...

Opening this back up and looking for broken limited & special edition controllers. Will consider plain ones if the price is right. My family is getting sucked into Vampire Survivors so we need more controllers for local coop between the two Xboxes. I've fixed pretty much every controller that I...
