8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

I double checked, I somehow got Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 years ago. Must have been one of those freebies in 2020 or '21. Its not PS+ because those installed games can't work now since I'm not a PS+ subscriber. Hmm, so $60 for this mess or free at 1080p or whatever rez the ps4 puts out at 30fps.

Good call. I saw the small heatsink there of the gpu in the case and it got me wondering. Looking at the Palit website, it is a single fan card so that explains the high temps and fan speed. So a loud, small 4060 single fan card for $300. Reminds me of the cheap single $279 2060 cards...

Interesting, I'd heard DLSS was so bad on nvidia that I shouldn't use it. I guess I should test it at some point.

STE is just unstable overall these days, for some it seems worse with UE5 but it wasnt great with UE4. My 2060S runs the game ok, better than it used to in UE4. I don't remember the settings I use off hand other than I turned on FSR2 which helps keep the fps up with fewer dips. Game doesnt look...

AAA's Doom

"Do not buy". Uh, I don't. Most is at deep discounts because as I mentioned, the games are rarely worth full price. As mentioned above, bundle deals are often the best value. Yes, one should exercise more control instead of buying into the modern marketing mindset of "consume product, be excited...

AAA's Doom

No, just no. Utterly silly. 4k has been pushed by the hardware industry first and foremost to sell new gpu's and monitors. Second, if I'm going to have to pay more for 4k textures etc., can I get a game that actually runs well or isn't a buggy mess for the first 6-12 months of its retail life. A...

Well here we go... ram in theory doesn't matter that much in Homeworld 3. 1080p tests from gamegpu. The most interesting part though, is that gamegpu confirms what I've seen reported by the early access players in the Steam forums, the game's built in benchmark does not represent gameplay...

Uh, I guess I do not see the difference. Apart from the fact that the 1070 will celebrate its 8th birthday next month.

Ok, so I run the Intel system in the fall/winter and AMD one in the spring/summer. Edit: A good comparison of power usage by HUB:

Must be fresh fin-fet chirpin season out there in the sweltering sweatlands known as Meteor Lake. Nowadays no one remembers the lowest of the low, the 65 watters. They've been passed up for PL states of 253 watts. Performance and power over performance and efficiency. They way to be for you and...
