It's another part of the  experience that consoles do better. On PS5 when I save a live clip it immediately lets me choose the length and lets me preview it. It's snappy and straightforward. Sony even added automatic temporary uploads for recent captures.

Rinkles posted:I'm getting big frame drops in Shadowplay recordings, that weren't there during gameplay. Turning down the bitrate might have helped a bit, but not entirely. Any ideas? This is a 3060ti. Not sure what's up here. I have to correct the previous goon and say that nvidia's background recording is about as free as it gets. It takes up virtually no CPU resources since it's all done on the GPU, and it's very light on the GPU. Most benchmarks that test this find an in-game performance drop of a few percent at most, and it's generally designed to record smoothly with little to no fuss. I've never had any choppiness in my recordings with any of my nvidia GPUs (or AMD, for that matter). Try locking your in-game frame rate and recording at that frame rate? (or a number that divides evenly into it.) You could also try recording at 1080p or something if you're currently recording at 1440p. Alternatively, try switching to something like OBS for your background recording. It's more powerful than GFE, but it takes a bit more setup.

I already locked the framerate because I'm on a 60Hz display. The only complication I can think of is that I'm using DLDSR (because Just Cause 4's TAA is dreadful). The GPU is still only at 60-70% use, but maybe there's a hitch in the downsampling process. The video still comes out 1080p (tv's native), if you didn't know. e:does OBS have a similarly light footprint? Rinkles fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Jan 16, 2023 |

Rinkles posted:e:does OBS have a similarly light footprint? It can use NVENC, so the encoding part at least should be about as unobtrusive. You can also set different encoding speed settings, unlike GFE, which may lighten (or increase) the load on the GPU. You can also set it to keep the replay buffer in memory if you don't want to be constantly writing to disk. Which, come to think of it, could also be a cause of recording stutters. Especially if you're writing to an HDD that is being accessed by other apps at the same time. The app itself is fairly lightweight, though I don't know how exactly it compares to the GFE overlay in terms of resource usage.

To be honest, I haven’t pulled the trigger on a 4090 because I’ve only had EVGA cards since I got back into PC gaming in 2013. Spending $1600 on an unknown for me seems not great tbh This 2080 Ti is gonna last a while, prob til 5 or 6 series if pricing stays like this and EVGA stays out.

Can I throw a PSU question in here? Since my new GPU was why I bought a new PSU. I bought a Seasonic Prime TX-1600 to get overhead for my 4090 compared to my old 1000w PSU. I used the 4x8pin to 12VHPWR cable that came with the GPU and four 8 pin PCIe cables from the PSU and it's all fine. Only now did I go back through the bag of cables that came with the PSU and find that it came with it's own 12VHPWR cables that are labeled 600w. However, each 12VHPWR cable only has two PCIe plugs on one end and the 12VHPWR end only has two sensing pins. Also, the PCIe plugs on the cables are the 8 pin form factor, only 6 pins are populated. Would these 12VHPWR cables have been any use to a 4090? I don't know if these cables simply have half the current capacity that the 4090 wants, or if this PSU can supply the same power over half the conductors. I'm guessing it's the former.

If they’re labelled 600W it’s probably the latter. But I’d check the documentation to make sure. The only reason I can think of to pack that cable in with a high power PSU would be specifically for a 4090 though.

This gaming computer PSU can deliver more wattage than a level 1 EV charger! the absolute highest wattage PSUs on the market aren't sold in the US, or are de-rated to a lower wattage when used at US voltage, since as you say they're brushing up against the amperage limits of standard wiring/breakers there silverstone makes a 2050W PSU but it's only rated for that in 230V markets, in 110V markets it's de-rated to 1650W KS posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/y1gw03/12vhpwr_cables_new_seasonic_power_supplies_and/ the reason for the discrepancy is the one-size-fits-all dongle that comes with the card has to assume the user has a garbo PSU where each 8pin can only supply 150W (the bare minimum the spec requires) and so they need four of them to make up 600W with the official cable seasonic controls both ends of the connection, so they can know for a fact that their PSU-side connectors are good for at least 300W and they only need two of them to drive a 12VHPWR to 600W repiv fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jan 16, 2023 |

I can't decide where the best place is to post this question but I think here is good: I use a S95B QD OLED as a gaming monitor, and it's fine, but it does that OLED thing (I forget what it's called) maybe pixel shift? Where it shifts the entire screen around a little bit all the time? It's unobtrusive with media, but a Windows Desktop gets all hosed up in the sense that often times part of the taskbar is shuffled into a spot where it can't be seen, etc. I'm just wondering, for people who game and use an OLED as their primary screen for other purposes: can I turn off pixel shift or does it make a huge difference to the longevity of the panel? I knew burn in would be a possibility on this panel, so I did get a burn in warranty, so if the worst happens, I'm covered, but I don't want to go SEEKING burn in either so I just want to make sure I'm not totally loving my display up by turning off pixel shift. e: by the way if anyone is interested in using a QD OLED to game, Samsung runs an extremely awesome program for educators and people in front line professions where you can get their panels cheaply. You can get a 55 inch S95B for just over a grand. And in the past (a deal that would probably come back) you could get a 65 inch for $1400. It's the best gaming display right now, so if you already have a 4090, it's worth considering. And the quantum dot tech uses panel tech that is more resistant to burn in vs a regular OLED for technical reasons that it's not worth getting into.

So I just ordered an LG 42 and everyone said to just turn off pixel shift and then set the taskbar to auto hide. I don’t have mine in yet but I’m going to give the pixel shift a try and see how it goes but I have to imagine I’ll be turning it off. Burn in is more of a risk but as you said you bought the warranty so  Out of curiosity what’s the link for the Samsung deal? I got my 42 for $650 so I can’t imagine it’s a much better deal.

MikusR posted:Make sure you are using pc mode on the tv and check in gpu driver software if you have the correct resolution and not using some over/underscan. I think I do? Pixel shift just shifts the whole image around. I think that's what it does, so my understanding is that it must be disabled to fix, and is separate from over/under scan and things of that nature. Hey by the way does anyone know what Change ECC State is in the Nvidia Control panel? Should I enable it?

ECC is the error correcting memory mode, it protects against errant bit flips at the expense of performance if you're only gaming you'll want to leave it disabled

EVGA was also great for selling cards at MSRP on a waiting list. Instead of refreshing a bunch of sites with scalped prices 10 times a day and following a discord server I just signed up for the EVGA wait list and got a card that way as cheap as possible.

Received my Zotac 4070 TI in the mail, and while the installation wasn't painful (Same size and power cables into an adapter as my old 1080), I really wasn't prepared for the coil whine this thing has at higher frame rates. Yikes. It's easily solved by capping the frame rate (so 100 FPS instead of 120), but hoooly moly it's loud at full tilt. Any tricks on how to counteract it? Other than that, so far so good! It's nice to finally not pull settings down to medium/low.

Which version Zotac card? I have their base Trinity card and haven't noticed any whine even when running Portal RTX as high as possible for shits and giggles. Though granted I haven't used it for very long since I shoved it in my TV PC briefly to try it for a day before putting it back in the box in anticipation of the rest of my new build parts that were supposed to be here on Saturday and were delayed again this morning. So I have a case, SSD, GPU and CPU on my desk taunting me.

The baseline (cheapest) variant, as apparently the performance gains were so low they didn't justify the extra cost one bit. Luckily, my coil whine was easily resolved; I switched out from using the PSU PCI-E 2x8 pin cable (Y) to connecting a second 8-pin to the PSU and running them separately. I don't get how electricity works and why it made a difference, but hey, it made it much more bearable. I can still hear it if I listen for it with the game muted, but the fans and game audio drown it out. Huzzah! Lamquin fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Jan 17, 2023 |

Give undervolting or power limit a try if it's really bothering you. I have the same card and was gonna play around with all those setting next weekend, but I had done that with my 2070 super for both temperature and noise reasons without any problems.

What tool do people typically use to undervolt a GPU? I got an MSI Gaming X Trio 4090 today and the card starts making a loud buzzing noise once it draws close to 200W and it only gets worse above that. It's loud enough I can hear it easily over the fans after they spool up to deal with the heat.

Coil whine (the buzzing) can often be mitigated by capping frames per second through the Nvidia control panel. Try setting it to 2-5 frames lower than your monitor’s refresh rate. MSI Afterburner is the most popular tool for changing power settings, but I doubt undervolting the GPU would help and you probably don’t want to power limit the card to 200W or so as you’d be giving up a lot of performance.
