    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Memory Context Restore is something you may have, and will probably have to dig for in the BIOS to enable. Probably not turned on by default since it can introduce instability. I tend to sleep my computer and only shut down by accident or when installing some hardware update, so it's not as...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The memory in the HP system is pretty much trash 5200mhz stuff, needs to be replaced with 6000+. No idea on what the power supply in the system is either since they refuse to list any details at all on the wattage other than "Gold". I'd also want 2Tb minimum SSD instead of 1Tb, and ditch the...

    Get an OSD and track CPU/GPU usage. I’ve got 100% GPU usage in plenty of things at 1440UW with a frame cap of 160 set.

    This has nothing to do with Marathon. What the fuck is this? Why use this IP name for this trash?

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    That's why I went with a 4090. The extra 8gb of memory and the raw perf/$ over the 4080 was just too much to ignore. This whole generation is a fucking mess for the consumer, but at least you can buy the things I guess...

    The frame rate is a lie, it's all DLSS frame generation.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The paragon board planners out there both suck. One is too zoomed in and I can't make it wider to see more and doesn't calculate glyph bonuses met, the other doesn't properly calculate rare node second tier conditions met.

    Well, you need some kind of market segment product at that price point. But if people aren't full on 3060s and 3070s by now, this will be their option.

    Hitching has to be a VRAM issue due to the textures. Game is using 18gb+ per my stats display.

    The high res pack was a default option for me. I didn't know it was a thing I could uncheck until this last weekend when I clicked the cog wheel next to the download button and scrolled.

    Hey, did you know that nobody is actually born lesbian or gay? They're made that way due to childhood trauma? Also, did you know that cloning someone doesn't give them anything but a genetic base to draw from? They don't magically inherit the original's memories or behavioral traits? Wow...

    I didn’t need an amp for my X2HRs. They’re really solid feeling build wise, no regrets but I’m also not an audiophile with access to $500 cans and good amps.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    2 is my favorite of the series from a gameplay and overall direction. But it definitely felt fucked at the end. “Wait, we did all that just to fight the collectors when we’re well aware that the real threat is still coming? Why are we splitting up the team I just spent all game assembling...

    It was definitely c-states for some reason. Never had an issue before I moved cases. Once I disabled those it was stable again at low power usage.

    It's still an issue of it's going to be a $650+ card so that the AIBs can actually make a profit on the thing. And as a % of change in pricing from the generation it was supposed to replace, it's not a big enough discount for previous gen performance at nearly the same pricepoint. But we were...

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    For how mediocre it looks, it certainly wants a lot of graphics card. It’s quite odd to see 100% usage and a struggle to hit 90 fps at 1440UW.
