Battlefield 2042 | Season 5: New Dawn Gameplay Trailer It's out on June 7th and features a slew of additions, chiefly the Reclaimed map, which was inspired by Battlefield 4...

When DLSS3 FG first came out, NO. My first experience with frame generation was laggy and stuttery with Gsync and NVCP vsync on my 120Hz ultrawide. DLSS3 FG has improved since the FG + Gsync + V-sync bug was fixed in the drivers recently and...

I still have a 2080 8GB on a secondary system. Never regretted it. Plays fine with the games that I play and I can always tweak the settings to get the performance I want. I also avoid playing buggy games at launch and wait until they get fixed...

Saw this over reddit. I've seen this happen with 6-pin, 8-pin, molex and SATA connectors over the years. Either it wasn't plugged in fully or the plug was defective. On the other hand, my 4090's 12VHPWR is still going strong. At least it isn't...

There is more to this story, a large tranche of the failed cards came from the cable mod company.

When the 'bug' was lack of proper optimization, as shown when then fixed and optimized, in the first place :rolleyes: ...

Two separate issues under the larger umbrella of 'general optimization' that should have been done from the start/before release I agree

Funny how you omit 2/3 of that whole statement to do what exactly? Make fun of me? Call me a shill? What? I would rather trust a company that’s been making GPU’s for 25 years than a group of people regurgitating YouTube content as their source...

What about the part where they created an entirely new set of (actual) medium mip maps that looked they actually tried this time around, while using less VRAM to boot and higher fidelity

Linked at a certain relevant part :whistle:

That's a good experiment, but many games will "allocate" vram but not necessarily use it. I don't think that Afterburner shows actual use but shows allocated. Be cool if someone figures out how to measure vRam usage with accuracy. I play at...

I used an aliexpress cable for about 2 months, it looks fine. Then my Cablemod 90 arrived, and I installed that, and now it has about 2 months of use. It looks good as well, checked it this morning. I suspect in the above example, either the...

Been using my 4090 for months with the connector that came with it and it never gets warm, but my case also has the required 30mm clearance for a bend and it is snug in the video card.

Been running the cable mod wires and 180 degree adapter for a few months now. Wattage pull in the worst of games is 400-450w. The aluminum back of the plug doesn't really get hot to the touch. The new cable mod adapters do nothing really to...

Nintendo already has their SoC that was leaked a year ago along with all the other Nvidia stuff the leaks just didn't provide details just a project name. There isn't exactly a consumer demand for ARM SoCs, nobody is going to Amazon, Bestbuy, or...

I dig this because it lets you install the real deal game with the real deal settings and performance. I'm notoriously slow when it comes to progressing through a new game, so I'm the exact kind of consumer they're targeting.

And you're part of the problem, but this is a positive development. Demo slices take extra time and resources to develop, so having a time limit on the full game without needing to pay for it is a pretty good idea. It solves that problem and...

Alternatively; Solidigm's formerly-Intel 2TB P41 for $79.99 Not DRAM, but HMB support. And much faster. Running one in my ThinkPad - zero complaints. And Solidigm's desktop software is excellent.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08X4XL71S/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 QLC but has Dram. Well reviewed and proven drive. Maybe just for storage but at these prices it’s hard to argue they wouldn’t have a use. Sold by Microcenter shipped by Amazon.

20 something hours of play and I’m finally starting to hit my stride. Just played a few matches and finished top 5 & 7 (64player) on two winning teams and number 1 on a losing team with 25-12 K/D and 6 captures! This game is a blast and it’s...
