Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

depending on reviews and how well used prices hold after this launch, it might be worth while to swap my 7900xtx for a 9070xt. ~same raster, better rt, fsr4, lower TDP. could basically be a free slight upgrade to hold me over until next gen Will also be interesting to see how OC/undervolting...

NV 12VHPWR issues revisited

Painting with a wide brush there. I think that nicely sleeved/combed 2x or 3x 8pin cables look better than 12VHPWR, so don't blame me. Not everyone who cares about aesthetics in their PC is a minimalist and in fact a lot of the industry is built around the exact opposite; adding completely...

I looked at 9:00:xx and they were all immediately sold out

Will be interesting to see if 5090 remains impossible to get for a long time. Can't believe all microcenters in the US got 233 total

Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q1-2025

Yikes, was hoping it'd do better when power limited. These results are bad enough that i may end up keeping my 7900xtx for another generation. I'm not sure who exactly is OK with a 575w GPU. I am the exact sort of rube they should be targeting with this stuff: tech enthusiast who upgrades...

IDK why you are so insistent it's interpolation when nothing indicates that it is. "we render 2 million pixels (1080p) and predict the other 32 million (4 frames of 4k)" - paraphrasing Jensen from the presentation Not sure how they could be more clear that it's not interpolating between...

Any thoughts on the form factor of the 5090? It looks to be dual slot with the PCB not directly attached to the io panel. Would flow through on both ends be enough to allow a small card to dissipate 575w? Or maybe founders edition is lower tdp?

No, what i'm saying is the prediction can incorporate your actions. If the rendering is happening at 50fps with 3 predicted frames for each real one, you get "200 fps". If the game sample input at 200hz, the predicted frames can incorporate your inputs, e.g. changing direction or speed...

I dont see why the predictive frames cant use your input, especially for simple things like camera translation or rotation It would be jarring in an FPS if the frame rate dropped by 75% every instant you pulled the trigger, but i am very curious to see how it handles sudden screen changes like...

My pointless boycott of overpriced 4090s was to get a 7900xtx. No real issues or regrets but I don't think I'll want to keep this for another generation because there are already a few games that will not run at the res/fps/settings that I want (>=4k/80+/ultra), and there will be many more in...

i have 2, maybe 3, apps running on my macbook to 'fix' macos mouse behavior. i set them up a while ago so don't remember what they do but i believe they disable scroll acceleration and cursor acceleration and something else i'm forgetting it's pretty wild won't they let you control

Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

Probably reading too much into it but gamers nexus just uploaded their weekly news video and ended with a brief mention of the 9950x3d / 9900x3d release date rumor article from wcftech, conspicuously not mentioning the later leak about single vcache ccd, and he even specifically says they've...

I'll still use ethernet for gaming but for pretty much everything else, wifi is already far beyond good enough. I get > 1gbps speed tests (on 2gbps service) on devices in the same room as my router, and hundreds of mbps in the rest of my apartment (urban environment with dozens of networks...

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

I saw MLX when I was looking around today, but the sub-1.0 version and general lack of discussion around it has me leaning a bit toward putting it in the "half-baked" category, or at least "in the oven" to be more charitable. Does seem to be under quite active development, though, which is...
