Sininu posted:Can someone explain why anisotropic filtering keeps being broken in games on my systems. Last 3 computers I had, GT555M, GTX970M and RTX2070S, they all had this issue of AF just not working unless I forced it in Nvidia control panel. I ended up forcing it on globally because it's an issue in most games. But even then there are games where it doesn't work or randomly stops working after game or driver update. I think the latest one of that kind is Forza Horizon 4, I'm pretty sure it had functioning AF first 100 hours I played, but about a month ago it just doesn't work anymore or is limited to low value like 4x. What's so irritating is that 16-tap anisotropic filtering is a trivial workload for any vaguely recent card, and comes with a huge visual improvement. It's bizarre it's not just default on everything HalloKitty fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Apr 26, 2023 |

the denuvo anti-emulator thing hasn't shipped in any games yet so it's unknown exactly what they're doing, what the overhead is like, and how much if anything it has in common with their PC DRM there's some precedent for games deliberately messing with current-gen emulators, a handful of wii games had code that deliberately broke dolphin by abusing details of the systems cache hierarchy that aren't replicated by emulators (because it would be extremely slow to do so and there's usually no reason to)

the nvidia leak already all but confirmed they're sticking with tegra for the next system (likely an ampere-based chip) backwards compatibility makes switching vendors a can of worms, even sticking with nvidia they'll have to do some degree of emulation to retarget the maxwell shader blobs to ampere or whatever, but that's probably easier than translating them to RDNA ISA

fun fact, nvidias big security oopsy with the tegra X1 that blew the switch open is also the primary means of bypassing Widevine L1 (e.g. 4K netflix) to decrypt the streams for pirate releases the shield TV uses the same chip, and for some reason hasn't had its L1 certification revoked, so whenever pirate groups get their compromised keys blacklisted they just take another shield TV from the pile and dump the keys again

the switch getting blown open like that is ironic because nintendo actually did an excellent job of locking down the OS this time, unlike their prior systems their kernel is so tiny that it's been exhaustively analysed, and the relevant authorities on switch hacking are pretty sure there are no exploits

Okay, so I'm just confused as poo poo and I've been trying a bunch of stuff on my own and haven't been able to figure out the exact source of the problem without going down several rabbit holes about silicon stepping mismatches and other poo poo. I've mentioned my system before, but for the sake of keeping everything in one post I'll list it again AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a big-rear end Noctua NH-D12L on it Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX using three separate PSU cables G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 RAM (specifically marked as being for AMD systems) Samsung 950 Evo NVMe SSD Cooler Master 850W SFX PSU I'm assuming it's a GPU issue since this wasn't happening until after I changed from a 3070 Ti to the 7900 XTX, so in Final Fantasy XIV my clock speeds are jumping all over the place and intermittently this results in extreme stuttering/huge frame time spikes. I'll go into an instanced dungeon and my GPU utilization is jumping anywhere from 45%-90% with my clock speed going from 1400MHz up to around 2700MHz. CPU utilization isn't very high, but it's a 12-core/24-thread CPU so I wouldn't expect it to be high. XMP is enabled in BIOS. I uninstalled the Adrenalin software using DDU in safe mode and installed only the driver while in safe mode. This seemed to fix things for about a day and then the issue came back. I've seen things mentioning needing to have three power cables running to the GPU which I've done, turning off ULPS which I've done, increasing the power limit which I've done, setting a minimum and maximum frequency in Adrenalin which I tried before removing that entirely in favor of the driver alone. I'm honestly at a loss as to what I'm not thinking of or trying here. I don't have Vsync enabled, I have Freesync on, I'm running a 240Hz Freesync Premium rated monitor. I know that RDNA3 is extremely different than Maxwell/Pascal/Turing/Ampere so I can't directly compare what I'm used to on Nvidia cards to this one, but it seems as if there is something causing a weird bottleneck, especially considering I've seen my framerate in FFXIV be well into the 300s shortly after I started using this card. I feel like all I do is ask for help lately, but I could really use guidance from someone who has an idea of what might be going on here.

Another possibility is that since the 5900X is a multi-CCD CPU the game could be hopping between CCDs. Try pinning the game to cores only across a single CCD and see if it smooths out.

I've mentioned my system before, but for the sake of keeping everything in one post I'll list it again When you swapped the 3070ti for the 7900xtx, did you use DDU to clean every trace of NVidia software from your PC? Nvidia leaves some poo poo in your registry and system files that is not purged by the NVidia uninstaller. Swapping from NVidia to AMD, or vice versa can cause weird/sporadic issues with clocks and performance if you don't run DDU. https://www.guru3d.com/files-tags/download-ddu.html We would all like to believe that uninstalling the drivers for something will purge it, but often enough it leaves little bits behind. Purge the drivers for both AMD GPUs and NVidia GPUs from the system, and then do a clean install of the Radeon drivers. E: I see you used DDU to purge the Adrenalin poo poo from your system, but I'm unsure if you'd already done that for NVidia. If you didn't, try it. Failing that, OS refresh. Backup your poo poo and then reinstall Windows, as it's very likely something left over from the fact that you went from NVidia to AMD GPUs causing the issue. Did you have NVidia Broadcast or anything related to NVenc or other NVidia specific software installed on the system? orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Apr 27, 2023 |

ConanTheLibrarian posted:Increasing RAM by adding another couple of DIMMs could actually hurt performance. The CPU memory controller has to work harder and consequently the memory clocks it can run at are lower. Apparently Zen4s are especially susceptible. It feels like every generation of computer is hosed over by running four sticks of RAM. I was going to replace my 3700X because of this poo poo. gently caress.

FWIW it also did this when I disabled the second CCD entirely in Ryzen Master.

On the OS reinstall, did you reinstall the Nvidia drivers/3070ti under the reinstall, or has it been living wholly on the 7900XTX? Also, do you use multiple monitors? E: There's also apparently a compositor thing that Microsoft added a couple years back that can cause weird interactions with GPUs called Multi-Plane Overlay, which allows Windows to continue displaying things that are not in focus in the background. https://github.com/RedDot-3ND7355/MPO-GPU-FIX Apparently it can gently caress up people on most AMD cards from 6000 series up, and also Nvidia RTX 3000 series cards. I've never had the issue with my RTX 3080, but since the problem and the fix was literally discovered by NVidia of all things, it is apparently a thing. orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Apr 27, 2023 |

I'm starting to think I just need to reinstall FFXIV again and see if maybe something in one of the game files is busted and causing this, since I don't really seem to be having the issue in anything else. Edit: yeah, I'm going to do another reinstall of FFXIV and see if it's just a config file that got hosed up causing it. Will report back once all the patches and every thing have been reinstalled.

Something tells me that's not gonna happen. Asus is pulling some strings and is perhaps producing this at a large enough scale to be able to undercut all of the chinese handhelds thus far, offering a vastly better value than anything else on the market. I don't see the chinese manufacturers suddenly being able to counter with even better values.
