Pulled the trigger on a used 3080 FE, but did I screw up majorly by having only a 750 watt SFX PSU? Only asking because I know they cut the size down by reducing capacitor count (IE, will it crap out under load thanks to transient spikes?)

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:I asked about Destiny 2 a while ago(in this very same thread I believe), and general conclusions were that Bungie was probably hard at work on the next Destiny game, so... why bother upgrading anything Destiny already deletes half of their artwork, voice acting, and a lot of programmer effort every now and again in order to satisfy the beast that is the seasonal content model. Why waste time running AI upscaling in levels that won't be around in 18 months. They are trapped between gorgeous environments, seasonal content, and not wanting to be a 3TB game. The games they ostensibly compete against (MMOs, Warframe) pull it off by having stylish environments that reveal PS2 quality textures when zoomed up close.

Bungie has gone on record saying they won't be removing content anymore, what's in the game now will be there forever. All I want is TAA. The anti-aliasing in the game sucks. The environments are getting more and more complex with more fine details and the lovely SMAA/FXAA the game has just can't keep the fine details stable. It's a shimmery, jaggy mess.

I don't know why they can't update it. Warframe was updated to use TAA years ago.

Nixxes is not the end-all, be-all, though. I was sorely disappointed by their PC port of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, thing was buggy as poo poo on release.

Just to clarify: The story campaigns since Shadowkeep won't be going away. Seasonal content, including raids introduced between expansions, will still come and go, and in an average year Bungie creates about as much of that stuff as they do the former.

I don't really understand what that has to do with upscaling though? DLSS is an engine-level thing and not something you do to content. Saying the content will go away doesn't make it less worthwhile.

Destiny's a game where your starting level is in the 600s and you're given a tutorial quest to do a raid half an hour in. Bungie are not good at making long term decisions with it.

Reminds me of that time I got a Radeon 9200 SE thinking it'd be faster than my buddy's Radeon 9000 pro. drat thing could barely play Vietcong which really upset me no end. It was so great on his system and ran like rear end on mine. Since then I always made sure to do my homework when it came to buying new hardware. Naming schemes back then made no sense at all.

Dell is nothing like Acer, they have one of the most consistent model naming conventions. S is Dell's mainstream consumer monitor line. It's a 27", model year 21 (so 2020 really) D (1440p) G (this one is the only unclear letter, sometimes it means Gsync sometimes it might just mean gaming) F (Freesync). And it's more or less uniform, regardless of product line. A P3223DE is a Pro (step below Ultrasharp) 32" model year 23 1440p with an Ethernet port (so it can function as a sort-of dock for a laptop).

I think G is just "gaming," though sometimes it appears at the start of the model name just to throw you for a loop (like the G3223Q) The acer poo poo must mean something since there appears to be a pattern at least, but what it all actually means is probably known to only a handful of engineers at acer and no one else.

i spent the better part of 16 hours getting stable-diffusion working on my AMD card and holy poo poo when i said they only had interns working on it i was apparently being generous because as far as i can tell their entire compute stack is managed by non-sentient slime molds this isn't just consumer this is their datacenter modules, they absolutely give zero fucks about this umpteen billion dollar sector that nvidia has (rightful) complete dominance over. apparently compute on windows only works because microsoft stepped in, on server/linux it's "ROCm" and might work sometimes if they feel like it. their half-assed CUDA translation layer isn't really functional for anyone not a hyper-nerd (no researchers will ever touch it, meaning any interesting compute will always be nVidia only). "supported hardware? i dunno we printed out a poster of our lineup and threw darts at it. then sometimes the darts fall out of the wall and we have to delete support." like the RX 590s managed support for 18 months from launch before they deliberately turned them off in the drivers. The RX 6xxx series is only partially supported officially but it all works if you use an undocumented workaround found on forums to say "no, really, it's the gfx1030 silicon jesus christ just use it". Also it explodes if you have two AMD cards in your system, intending to use one for compute while the other handles display. The workarounds for that aren't even undocumented-but-on-support-forums, you have to go source spelunking because it can't possibly skip a card it doesn't recognize it has to instead throw a cryptic error message and dump core (no, really, a deliberate core dump in 2022) But when you do get it all working it can generate an image of graffiti that looks pretty good  but it's slow as poo poo, a 3060 runs circles around the entire lineup.

Well that might explain the differences between different comparisons I've seen. Didn't Intel claim the different paths all produced the same output with only performance differences? I guess not.

nah it was ambiguous for a while but they did eventually state outright that the DP4a path uses a simpler model than the XMX path it probably had to be simplified to be practical, even with the smaller network XeSS-DP4a is noticeably more expensive than DLSS or FSR2 repiv fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Oct 3, 2022 |
