Yeah, I've never seen my 660 go any higher than 65C, and GPU-Z insists performance is power-limited not thermal.

Knifegrab posted:So I know of the memory issue with the 970, and I am thinking about returning mine for a 980 (not because I am worried about the memory, but because I think I secretely just really want a 980). Does the 980 have the same memory issues? The issue is specific to the 970.

HoboWithAShotgun posted:Is this GTX970 business even a thing? I've been checking out YouTube videos of people recording their card pushing 4GB and I've barely seen anything amiss. Other than an advertising thing, not really. Unless for some reason your 970 spontaneously started running slower once you learned your card has fewer ROPs than you thought. It's still an excellent piece of hardware.

i say swears online posted:my 1080 started overheating and shutting down so i disassembled it to apply thermal paste. when removing the heatsink from the board, the wires connecting the fans to the board all stripped away from the connector. did i just irreparably break the most valuable piece of electronics i own? i called a few repair places around town and they said they can't handle it i can't really answer your question but you did successfully dissuade me from attempting to repair my own rapidly wearing down 2060 so thank you

K8.0 posted:LOL @ $800 GPU with less than half the shader cores of the $1600 GPU. Another product that literally no people should buy, along with the 4080 one of the worst deals in the history of computing products. Nvidia needs to be put in the garbage can over this poo poo, consumers need to grow a loving spine and refuse to buy these products until they see at least 30-40% price cuts. You can tell me all day long that the $1600 gpu is the better deal complete with graphs and benchmarks but it’s completely irrelevant if I am not willing to spend $1600 on a gpu.

feel like a lot of the discussion over value and such is academic as a lot goes into a gpu purchase. a 4090 is value in a vacuum, unless you need a new power supply, and oops it doesn’t fit in your case, and it’s bottlenecked by your previously-fine-but-now-lovely cpu, and what do you mean they’re all out of stock at $1600 but you’ll sell me one for $2k+

my takeaways from hdr: autohdr works well with genshin impact, maybe because that game is already pretty colorful win11 reminds me that i can enable autohdr for ff xiv even though i already have it enabled for that game, so as far as i can tell it does nothing for it i barely noticed hdr in doom eternal which is apt because i didnt notice raytracing in that game either screenshots via the printscreen key are washed out by default, i have to use the xbox game bar shortcut which is fun because i never remember the drat keyboard shortcut tl;dr its neat but i kind of wish we just had 64-bit color instead

MarcusSA posted:This is the most annoying pop up. It took me a few times before I was able to catch it and turn it off completely. I don’t mind the pop ups so much, it doesn’t stay long and I’d get one anyway even if autohdr worked. I just wish it’d read its own settings and either turn on autohdr in ff xiv for realsies or disable the setting for ff xiv completely.

GhostDog posted:If PS5 games go back to 30 I'm out. I don't know what it is, but 30fps looks way worse (more jittery) on the PS5 than on the PS4. At first I thought I had just gotten used to higher FPS between shelving my PS4 and managing to get a PS5, but then I actually dusted off the PS4 just to check and while 30fps still would never be my choice it didn't gently caress my eyes the way it does on PS5. Tried two different displays, different cables, no loving clue what that is about. pc gamings back baby

ran the benchmark to see how much pathtracing punished my system. 4070ti, i5-12600K cpu, 1440p w/o DLSS: 23.19 average, 18.05 low, 31.38 high DLSS "Quality": 56.66 average, 44.27 low, 72.26 high DLSS w/ DLAA: 42.87 average, 33.30 low, 58.26 high FSR "Quality": 45.64 average, 35.66 low, 58.95 high XeSS "Ultra Quality": 34.91 average, 27.56 low, 45.55 high a few minutes in the actual game trying out pathtracing with DLSS "Quality" and its very playable if not optimal. doesn't seem to look all that much better though, at least not to my eye. and it still kind of messes with the UI in distracting ways. not about to use a lower DLSS setting because Quality doesn't have ghosting and that is extra distracting. Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:CDPR has said they plan to update and improve the path tracing implementation over time, and this is just a very early version of it. I could see them actually tweaking some scenes to improve the lighting where necessary. I also imagine that they will build their game worlds with this kind of technology in mind going forward. Though they will still need to support fallback options for anyone without 4090/4080-class GPUs, and supporting multiple lighting paths simultaneously could be pretty burdensome. i'm sure the copious amounts of money nvidia is throwing at them to be a technological showcase for $1200 video cards helps ease the burden

Hemish posted:It's not a good period for PC games (that are cross platforms) and most games get released too early with bugs but the timeline of The Last of Us release can't be a coincidence with it coming at about the same time as the TV show which is based on that first game in the series. If it gets the Horizon : Zero Dawn treatment and gets fixed properly on PC, it will end up being pretty good on PC but it doesn't excuse paying 93$Cnd (79.99$ + taxes where I live) for a broken mess at launch when it's backed by mega studios and mega corporations. I'm surprised it didn't get the 89.99$Cnd pricing (that's our next gen pricing on your 69.99$us) which totals at 104$Cnd here. i suspect it would still be a bad port even if it wasnt rushed out the door for the tv show. the shader compilation nonsense just screams "we hyperoptimized for our platform of choice and let the contractors worry about the ports" not a lot of game devs work with cross-platform in mind from the start

the notion of a "good" game is subjective anyway, and even if it wasn't a game doesn't have to be "good" in order to be financially or critically successful.Zedsdeadbaby posted:I hate to be devil's advocate but I feel like there's been loads of great AAA games in recent years. I think the cynicism regarding remakes and sequels have put a lot of people off what are otherwise actually really great games. FFVIIr, Doom 2016, MHW, Resident Evil, there's been a bunch of huge AAA games that knocked it out the park. i'd add doom eternal to that pile.

depending on the project there is probably a limit to how low you can go but customers with nine year old GPUs are paying just as much for a game as a customer with a $4k pc. cutting out the former market is as much of a cost-benefit analysis as catering to the latter.
