  1. Why does Nvidia sandbag their cards when revealing a new generation?

    Basically this. The Super cards were the perfect example. All the reviewers tested them, posted articles and videos. That wouldn't have happened if they had just adjusted the price of their existing cards. Nvidia's just being savvy and trying to keep the attention on them. It can be a little...
  2. Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

    I haven't used an Nvidia GPU in almost 10 years. But I gotta say, between the AI and RT features, and the promise of 2089 Ti level performance, I'm reeeeally tempted by the 3070. If AMD can't bring the same performance and feature set at that price point, I may just switch from red to green.
  3. Question Are these junk??

    Having just read @DAPUNISHER 's recent thread on the significance of cleaning out drivers when you install a new GPU made me think back to this thread and a couple things you said: These may be related. If you didn't reinstall your drivers when going between a 1070 and 1060, when did you last...
  4. Question Ryzen 7 1700 OC

    3.5 isn't even up to the stock boost clock of the 1700 (3.7). If you have decent cooling the CPU could be sustaining 3.6-3.7 GHz at stock under load, so you're effectively downclocking.
  5. Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.8.3 - [20.20.27.01] - 27/08/20

    Still waiting on them to bring in hardware scheduling to the main driver release, it seems. One interesting thing is that they note Vega's poor performance in Horizon Zero Dawn as a known issue. Hardware Unboxed found that Vega did really poorly when testing that game, barely better or even...
  6. Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    Animal Crossing probably made them all the money they need and they could just sleep through the rest of 2020 and still turn a profit.
  7. The anti-DRM thread

    Given Crytek's recent financial woes, they probably needed the immediate cash of the exclusivity deal.
  8. Question Are these junk??

    There's no "guarantee" that the RDNA 2 launch will be any smoother than RDNA 1. All I can say is that I've never had any issues with AMD graphics cards. I've seen tech Youtubers like GamersNexus and Jayztwocents talk about the problems they had with the drivers, but then there's Hardware...
  9. Question Are these junk??

    I didn't have to jump through any hoops, no. I basically built a new system which included the 5700 XT. I'm a longtime AMD user though, used a Radeon R9 290X for like 5 years, before that had a Radeon HD 7870, and before that was a Radeon HD 5770. I haven't used Nvidia since owning a 9800 GT...
  10. Question Are these junk??

    I've had a Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT for a few months now. I use it with two monitors, and it has yet to give me any problems, I'm quite happy with it. That ASRock Challenger model is a non-XT chip, meaning it has fewer stream processors (2304 vs 2560) and a lower locked max clock speed. And...
  11. Question Can an i7 2600K support a modern high end graphics cards?

    Bear in mind they tested at stock speeds. Sandy Bridge K chips have about 1 GHz of overclocking head room. Any 2500K/2600K user with a lick of sense should be overclocking their CPU. What I find interesting though was that one or two games actually ran better on the 2500K than the 2600K. I had...
  12. Question Question about the GPU Bench on anandtech site

    Yeah with those specs you shouldn't be in a huge rush to upgrade. It just comes down to PUBG's optimization being a dumpster fire no matter what hardware you play it on.
  13. Question Question about the GPU Bench on anandtech site

    No, it doesn't appear that any of the games in Anandtech's benchmark database for the past few years use Unreal Engine 4. I know that Techspot/ Hardware Unboxed uses two UE4 games, Jedi Fallen Order and Gears of War 5, in their recent reviews. I don't think they have an easily browsable database...
  14. Question How many cores are you operating with on your PERSONAL PC at home?

    Have we had high performance 8 core/16 thread consoles for the last 6.5 years? That's my point. We have seen games move towards better thread utilization with the adoption of DX12/Vulkan over the past few years. What we've been needing is a big push to really get developers to invest and design...
  15. Question How many cores are you operating with on your PERSONAL PC at home?

    8. Got an 8 core 3rd gen Ryzen in preparation for the PS5/Xbox Series X/S having 8 core Ryzen CPUs. I'm anticipating that once 16 high performance threads becomes the standard on consoles as opposed to the 8 anemic threads consoles have now, combined with Vulkan/DX12, we'll see much better...
  16. Discussion Your experience with Hardware Scheduling and Navi?

    I haven't had any experience. Microsoft's machine learning doesn't seem to like me.
  17. Question Will Radeon RX Vega 64 work on the old computer?

    Fair point. Vega 64 actually edges out the 5700 in a few games at 4K, likely due to higher memory bandwidth. HBM was a millstone around Vega's neck in a lot of ways, but it had some benefits. So if Igo69 can find a Vega 64 for a lower price than a 5700, it may suit his needs better. This is...
  18. Question Will Radeon RX Vega 64 work on the old computer?

    Vega 64 should work fine in your PC. However, if you haven't already purchased it, I would suggest looking into getting a Radeon 5700 (non XT) or 5600 XT if they're available to you at a similar price. More efficient architecture, less power hungry, and more of a substantial upgrade over the...
  19. Question Should this motherboard be RMAed?

    So you actually have no idea, ok.
  20. Question Should this motherboard be RMAed?

    It's running the latest BIOS, and it's a two year old board design having problems with year old CPUs. Can I really expect a BIOS fix?
  21. Question Should this motherboard be RMAed?

    Continuing from this thread, I isolated the problem to the motherboard so I figure I'd ask this question in this section. Basically, the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon in my brother's PC has a problem with its power delivery to the CPU. In order to be stable and run the CPU at full speed, it needs...
  22. Question Is this a new Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT

    Huh...looks to me like it's just a standard Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT with an all black fan shroud. I'd expect it to perform the same as a standard Pulse 5700 XT, which was one of the better reviewed models (and I can attest to being very happy with my own). It's sold and shipped by Newegg, so it's...
  23. Zen 2 APUs/"Renoir" discussion thread

    Ok sure, the -300 moved from 4c/4t to 4c/8t with the 3300X. The 4300G still fits that. And yeah, these CPUs don't represent a big step like last year's Ryzen 3rd gen. At worst, that makes them a bit boring and disappointing. But there's no real room to rag on the naming and price, not when you...
  24. Zen 2 APUs/"Renoir" discussion thread

    What's in a name? The -600 processors in each Ryzen line have been 6 core/12 thread, so it actually makes sense for the 6 core/12 thread Renoir processor to be dubbed the 4600G. Likewise, the 4300G matches core/thread count with the 1300X, 2300X, and 3300X. The name is fine, and if you think...
  25. Question Ryzen 3600 CPU blue screening on windows login

    Alright, I think I've isolated the issue to the motherboard. Since finding that XMP cause the PC to not even POST and thus disabling XMP and manually setting the memory to its rated 3200 MHz, I noticed one more issue. The Cinebench R20 score on my brother's PC was well below what it should...
  26. Question If using an Intel CPU is there a preference between AMD or Nvidia?

    Nope. The Radeon Technologies Group actually tests its graphics drivers on systems with Intel CPUs. There is no particular performance legally from using AMD graphics cards on Intel CPUs, or on using Nvidia graphics on AMD CPUs.
  27. Question DLSS 2.0

    FidelityFX CAS/Radeon Image Sharpening is a nice feature to have in games with TAA to mitigate the softening effect while still cleaning up jagged edges. The two filters in tandem provide better image quality over the raw image while being virtually free in comparison to traditional...
  28. Question For gaming only, would a 9900k be notably better than a 3900x?

    Yes, that too. New tech is just around the corner, and the 3900X/5700 XT combo is certainly good enough that there's no immediate need to upgrade. Don't be me and buy a B450 mobo a month before B550 was finally announced...
  29. Question For gaming only, would a 9900k be notably better than a 3900x?

    From everything I've seen, the 9900K is technically faster than the 3900X, but only marginally. It squeezes out better single-threaded performance, and current games don't really scale past eight cores/sixteen threads to take advantage of the 3900X's additional cores. But really, the 3900X is...
  30. Drivers for 5870 AMD??? Help!

    Have you checked the product and support page for the model of your laptop on Asus' official website?
  31. Question Will CPU supplies return? Ryzen 2700 (or replacement?)

    Microcenter does rock, they are pretty good at keeping things in stock and have competitive prices (and price matching vs. Amazon and Newegg). In this era of online shopping I think it's really nice to just be able to walk into a store and walk out the same day with a product, and bring it back...
  32. Question Ryzen 3600 CPU blue screening on windows login

    Ok...I tried swapping the PSU with a relatively new PSU from another PC, and it had no effect on the issue. What I've done now is disabled XMP and manually set the RAM speed to the full 3200 MHz. That made the message about "memory overclock failed" go away and allowed the PC to boot into...
  33. Question Ryzen 3600 CPU blue screening on windows login

    Ok, the PC went unused for a couple weeks for unrelated reasons, and when it was booted up after that it seemed to fail to POST with the last settings (memory running at 3200 MHz and CPU offset of +0.05) The PC was not completely unusable though, it would show a message along the lines of...
  34. Does the SSD make a big difference?

    SSDs can have performance benefits in some games - or rather, some games can suffer if you play them off an HDD. One example is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. The level asset streaming becomes a serious bottleneck on HDDs. It doesn't necessarily show up as frame rate drops, but as the game...
  35. Question Ryzen 3600 CPU blue screening on windows login

    Alright, I'll see how it goes. If the problem comes back, I'll transplant a PSU from another (relatively new) PC I have access to. If that solves the problem, I'll RMA the original PSU. If it doesn't, seems like I'll have to RMA the motherboard. Thanks for the help! One of the first things I...
  36. Question Ryzen 3600 CPU blue screening on windows login

    Ok, finally reinstalled Windows on my brother's computer. He had been using the 2600 on his computer for the last couple months without issue. Ran the reinstallation with the 3600 installed, not the 2600. The installation had one hitch...midway through, I got an "installation failed" message...
  37. Star Wars: Squadrons (successor to X-Wing/TIE Fighter?)

    A rather uninspired title, but it could be fun. EA is capable of publishing Star Wars games with a solid single player experience and no predatory microtransactions- Jedi Fallen Order proved that. So here's hoping thay Squadrons is another solid, enjoyable game. Also, flying an X-wing in VR...
  38. GOG Summer Sale - Metro Exodus & Prey now DRM-free!

    Just got an email from GOG that Hitman Absolution is FREE for the next 72 hours. Download it and it's yours to keep. Haven't ever played it, so definitely something worth jumping on.
  39. Question Can an i7 2600K support a modern high end graphics cards?

    Were you monitoring frametimes with something like Afterburner? I believe GamersNexus has shown that hyperthreading does make a difference on quad core CPUs in both framerates and lowest percentile frametimes, at least between the 7600K and the 7700K. The thread OP suggested a price range of...
  40. Question Can an i7 2600K support a modern high end graphics cards?

    It wasn't my comment, but I saw what you highlighted. I'm asking what reason do you have for that very claim, if you have any examples.
