So many people in the area have clearances to do their jobs here most folks are pretty drat straight laced outside leadership positions It's not illegal to scalp, so there's nothing you can do about the dude besides ban him from a store, if you're store management. Threatening adverse action against a person's clearance, if they have one, without legitimate cause, however, is illegal.

shrike82 posted:dumb question but what are the headless plugs for GPUs for? i have machines running headless without them doing GPU compute frequently so i'm curious if there's some use case locked behind needing to pretend a monitor is connected Certain headless apps, like using GPU transcode with an Nvidia card on a PLEX server requires a dummy plug in one of the video outputs in order to utilize the NVENC capabilities. I believe it's also used for GPU passthrough for virtual machines, because if there's nothing plugged in to the GPU the 3d acceleration and video decode functions are shut down/cant be utilized.

Both Aveum and that UE5 hobbyist project look not super impressive, they're leaning too far into the hyper-real which causes your eyes to pick out the inconsistencies such as how the smoke from the chimney disappates into nothing instead of being a steadily rising haze, the water in both projects looks like poorly defined poo poo, etc. Aveum looks way the gently caress worse than the other, EA is going to spend a shitpile of money for a complete dogshit game, since the gameplay is as inspired as the graphics, and we're all here to laugh at it. VVV Pretty much, that bodycam game even though it was likely "gameplay" did a better job of fooling me into believing it was realistic via sound design, actor/camera movement/distortion, and faint artifacting you'd see on a lovely bodycam than either of the other 2. There were definitely some smeared textures and you can find lots of problems if you pick through it, but the artifacting covered for it in the moment. orange juche fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Apr 22, 2023 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I'm left somewhat confused by these configurations. Why is there no 8CU configuration? Why do they think that gaming handhelds have a use for 8 CPU cores? 6 cores/12CU, 4 cores/8CU, and 4 cores/4CU would make much more sense and would surely be cheaper to produce too. There's a reason why, when valve commissioned a custom APU, they gave it only 4 cores. It likely will still be better as the steam deck is quite limited on its tdp, I believe it's capped to 15W where a lot of the handheld PCs are going up to 20+ on up through 28w, though it really doesn't do much after 20w on a 6800u. The steam deck does have the benefit of having a known hardware configuration that the steam deck OS can optimize for, and the other handheld PCs don't, and it's observed in the steam deck doing more with 15w tdp than some other setups do all the way up to 28w.

Branch Nvidian posted: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 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 |

Branch Nvidian posted:I used DDU in safemode to remove all traces of Nvidia software. I also ended up actually doing a whole OS reinstall about two weeks ago anyway. Part of me wonders if I've just got some strange setting toggled somewhere buried under several menus that's causing this to happen. 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 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Just hook up one of the daisy chained power connectors to the adapter. That's perfectly fine to do. Daisy-chaining the power adapters is bad actually, you can overload the connectors and make the magic smoke come out, especially when you're dealing with a 4090. The 4090 draws 450W, which means you need 3x 150w connectors to guarantee you can drive it, and the 4th is for transients. Don't daisy chain your 4090. Each 8 pin connector is rated to pass 150w, and while the wires can handle more, even up to 300-400w, do you want that power going through the connector that is rated to handle 150w? Get a slight power hiccup and suddenly your GPU is smoking from the power pins.

RDNA3 is actually pretty good at RT, problem is FSR2 which is a core component of a raytracing solution at 4K, is basically non-existent. DLSS has much wider support and while FSR2 might eventually wind up supporting more games, it's a long way from catching up to DLSS in how widespread it is.

Not really unless you want to dabble into custom edited drivers and you don't want to do that, unsigned drivers are a pretty big safety risk. Get a newer 2nd GPU that fits in your case, there's single card solutions that are new enough to be supported I think, if card height is your concern.

That isn't going to help in terms of developer adoption, though apparently fsr is easy to implement. Maybe if it runs on rdna 2 it will end up on consoles. FSR3 does run on RDNA2, since it's an open standard and AMD specifically stated it would run on older hardware, they'd be silly to not have it run on older hardware as current consoles are RDNA2 based, and also the lions share of their graphics hardware goes into consoles.

They made the game for console and were told at the last minute "btw you need to release for PC too" but since they made the game all hosed up on account of consoles being able to handle that, the game is just wrecked. Not that their dumb coding doesn't have an impact on consoles, just less of one.

power crystals posted:The 5800X3D is notoriously a nightmare to cool due to the stacked die topology (the cache die effectively acts as a thermal insulator). The stock cooler won't break it or anything, but getting a fancier one may appreciably improve its performance by letting it boost for longer. One of the best things you can do with the 5800x3d is undervolt it a bit on vcore, I dropped my voltage down in the BIOS by nearly 0.1 volt, i think .08 or something, and it shaved off 10C as long as I'm not under all-core 100% utilization. The CPU doesn't get nearly as hot under gaming loads as it did before, I was sitting close to 80C while playing VRChat, and went down to 68C with no other changes. The amount of thermal load that the stacked cache puts the CPU under is pretty crazy, the CPU itself won't use more than about 70w under load, but it will drive right on up to 80C even under water cooling because the cache die blocks heat from traveling from the cores to the IHS. orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:34 on May 7, 2023 |

Aside from that, no driver problems! yeah the MCD setup for the 7xxx series GPUs is an idle power hog. Under load it uses less than the equivalent Nvidia card but the Nvidia card is less power hungry at idle. Not sure if the 7x series cards just don't clock down as well, or if there's inefficiencies that are somehow gobbling up ~50w of power.

Zephro posted:Well, it doesn't until it does. If you start to bump up against the limits of the VRAM then it affects performance pretty dramatically. Forecasting the future is a mug's game but given that most new AAA games will be targeting the Series X and the PS5 and dropping support for older consoles, I'd be a little uncomfortable with 12GB if I was planning to hold onto the card for more than a couple of years. It might be fine, but even if it is it'll be a bit of tight squeeze. Yeah I mostly play VR poo poo nowadays and things like VRChat especially are VRAM hogs, because nobody believes in optimized texture work. I have a 3080 12GB and I can watch my frame rate literally slash in half as soon as I fill my VRAM and textures wind up cached in system RAM. Even worse is if you somehow wind up overflowing your VRAM significantly, which seems to pretty much be impossible outside of poo poo like VRChat, you can eat up all your system RAM with textures that didn't fit in VRAM, and you can crash your PC.

The fact that the current new hotness, the Asus ROG Ally can run TOTK at a higher framerate than the official hardware, with all of the overhead that emulation imposes, is pretty damning on the performance front for the Switch.

I will say one thing, Nintendo hits you coming and going, they're the only console maker whose console is not a loss leader. They make money off of every console sold, from the instant you buy it. Sony and Microsoft have to dig out of a hole on price, as their consoles probably cost somewhere between 33 and 50% more than it sells for to make, and they have to make it up in game and peripheral sales to customers before they profit.

12GB VRAM is essentially dead at 1440P if developers keep on the path they are travelling, which they will do as the current gen consoles continue to evolve. Diablo 4 for example will happily consume 12GB of VRAM on my RTX 3080 without blinking, and then spill over into system RAM causing my whole system to slow down. Seriously, the game barely uses 25% of my GPU's power when the graphics are maxed out, but it inhales VRAM like nobody's business which absolutely shits on the performance with stuttering. E: Diablo 4 specifically uses up to 16GB of VRAM in order to match the console experience. Taking textures down to high resolves the VRAM issue on 12GB VRAM, but the textures are quite noticeably blurrier in the environment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rl6sFoeOSU orange juche fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jun 27, 2023 |
