We are well past playing the blame game. Intel is at fault and eventually admitted it. I don't know what kind of solace desktop users are supposed to take from superior "tinkering" capabilities? It certainly didn't stop their CPUs from breaking. Hell, Jay had his completely manually tuned and it...
While this does not appear to be related to the vmin shift instability, it sucks that the solution is always to settle for less performance than was advertised, and paid for.
Killer deal, probably won't last long - https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-9000-series-ryzen-7-9800x3d-granite-ridge-zen-5-socket-am5-desktop-cpu-processor/p/N82E16819113877?Item=N82E16819113877&Tpk=N82E16819113877
My opportunity cost analysis - You can still get $250+ for your card as Daniel-San showed. More than worth the upgrade IMO, particularly to get a much better upscaler and much more usable ray tracing with 4GB extra ram.
I think you are in the same position as @Jaskalas, in that your cards...
12GB requires far fewer cope settings than 8GB obviously. What I found more impressive is how RDNA 4 compares against AMD older generations. Greatly improved ray tracing and upscaling, and more vram in the under $400 tiers.
Here are the 2 charts that show the progress best -
As expected, the 5060ti 8GB is horrendously bad when it runs out of vram, especially at older PCIe standards. You could pair the 16GB card with a PCIe 3.0 system and everything would be groovy. With the 8GB you'll be using super cope settings.
Game dependent. Most annoying thing I see with the DP4a version of XeSS is ghosting. With FSR, image stability/sizzle/shimmering and ghosting can be annoying as hell at lower resolutions. In most the games I have tried both e.g. Spidey games, cyberpunk, Hogwarts, AC: Mirage, XeSS IQ issues are...
We have been posting that 1080 is not okay for years. ;) But, what's done is done. Some tips to make the gaming experience as smooth as possible.
First tip is to use XeSS instead of FSR in any game that has it. Even the DP4a version that runs on AMD looks better vs FSR.
Next is reduce...
