Yaoi Gagarin posted:I am a bit surprised anyone would need dlss in ff14 Yeah same really, it's one of those games that feels like every card in the last 5 years has posted triple digit framerates in benchmarks, and if you're still trying to squeeze what you can out of a 1060 you can't use DLSS anyway.

It's getting a graphics update in the next expansion to all the lighting/reflections/etc which is accompanied by a big increase to the system requirements. Of course it will still run on a PS4 so I assume there will be some potato mode fallback graphics quality

it's getting a graphics "overhaul" in version 7.0 which requires higher specs. has spiffy new technology like ambient occlusion! some of the new listed recs just make it sound like you need more vram to store the textures that no longer look like something outta minecraft though

After trying for more than a year I finally snagged a 4090 FE at MSRP and picked it up today. The retail package weighs 14 lbs. according to my postal scale. I won't be unboxing it for a week since I need to buy a new Power Supply to support it. But just wondering how much of that is the actual card and why the heck it's so heavy.

I had a 3080 FE and there weren't any accessories included with any appreciable weight, just a power dongle adapter for older PSUs.

No, the 4090 FE box is this entirely excessive solid cube of plastic cardboard, it is unreasonably heavy even without the card it it. The card is also roughly the size and consistency of a brick. E: don't get me wrong, the presentation it makes is great, but it really brings nothing to the table over a plain folded cardboard box with an insert other than the knowledge that the margins Nvidia makes on this are absolutely sick if they can splurge that much on just the box.

I picked it up in person at best buy and it's still sealed in the foxconn packaging, with a UPS label to the best buy location on the box. Unfortunately I do not want to even think about opening it until I get the power supply, since you can't open the exterior packaging with it being evident. It's sealed with glue with a pull tab, not tape. I've googled the various codes on the box and they all show up as related to a 4090. The best buy sku on that last picture is attached via a sticker though, not printed. Does anything about this look suspicious?

Also the warranty period begins from the date of purchase, not the date of opening the box. You can safely open the box.

To piggy back on the early discussion of used GPU buying, ive been slowly picking up dual GPU cards when i see them on ebay. A lot of em need some love before being usable and had a doozy today. A few days ago, i saw this 4870 X2 for the princely sum of $3.99 plus shipping. The description said it had artifacting before it was taken out of service many years ago.  At that price, I had to jump on it knowing it was gonna have issues. And boy... as soon as the box showed up, I knew I was in trouble. The thing fuckin REEKED. Smokers + animals. I tried to test boot it before starting the tear down. No post, fan spun, heatsink dead cold, the LED diagnostic lights flashed and went off, nothing else. and the fan blasted more stank into my life. Not a great start. Started cleaning and the scroll fan was completely matted into a single mass (images spoilers for moderately nasty):  The smoke did a number on the thermal pads:  When I got down to the PCB, I was worried it was toast... but it was just built up char in places with high airflow. After scrubbing the iso and a tooth brush, everything looked good (except the iso that came off that was like, dark brown)  I reassembled and repasted and booted right up! Instead of cold heatsink though, it was ripping hot and the heat error LED was lit. Hm. I pulled it back apart and decided to pull the copper stacks themselves out of the shroud. Sure enough, completely blocked with a matte of fur:  Got it back together, and running great! 4870X2 for $4 bucks, not bad.  Family portrait with my other working duals:  So more generally, the lessons from my experience of buying all these used GPUs lately is probably:

That said, unless someone is a totally degenerate stoner they probably aren't packing bowls with the frequency a regular smoker lights up. Probably about an even split all things considered.

gradenko_2000 posted:isn't FSR 1.0 at the minimum better than TAA? Nope! Its not an anti aliasing technique at all, and requires the image to be antialiased to work properly. Hence why despite the fact they for some reason put it in splatoon 3, it does nothing because there is no pre antialliasing. FSR 2.0 is a temporal upscaler that also does antialiasing by its own process.

If you want to do simple spatial upscaling for whatever reason, FSR1 is perfectly fine. It's very fast and can upscale at non-integer factors cleanly with minimal softening or ringing. That said, if they have DLSS support then I don't understand why it's FSR1 instead of 2. Square-Enix also used FSR1 for FF XVI. Yoshi P really does not like FSR2 I guess.

I've been following 4090s for more than a year trying to snag a FE at retail. I think today is the first day that they've just been openly avaliable. nVidia has had them in stock on their website all day. 4080 Supers too. I wonder what the market might start to look like if we're finally at the point that scalpers can't make any money.

Meanwhile, the cheapest AIB model available in the US is somehow this liquid-cooled MSI model, for $1750: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/graphics-cards/graphics_cards/78426565 Every AIB hiked the price of their base models to $1800, and this model is $1900 at a few other stores, so I think Lenovo never updated their prices. With all of the random student discounts and promo codes the Lenovo store has, this is actually a pretty decent deal.

Bought one of those silly lil ARC 310 cards from Sparkle and it's mostly fine but it has the worlds most annoying oscillating fan. Apparently this is a FW fault, so I was thinking if I could just unplug the fan until they fix that FW. I'm assuming that these Intel ARC cards thermally throttle normally and can handle running without fan for short periods? Apparently sensors don't work on Linux yet.

Tempted to grab a 4090 FE, but I'm not in dire need of an upgrade. Is there any good idea if the 5000 series would be worth waiting for? I haven't paid any attention to the info about the next generation.

Rather than just unplug it, could you extend the wire to a motherboard header and control it from that instead maybe?

cool to see that sony is experimenting with dedicated playstation crossplatform and crossplay support that supports playstation trophies for their pc ports: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/04/17/ghost-of-tsushima-directors-cut-pc-cross-play-and-system-requirements-revealed/ system requirements also don't look too terrible, and the game supports both fsr 3, xess 1.?, and dlss 3 nixxes doing great work, can't believe sony actually made a good business decision in acquiring them
