You might want to do a full DDU driver wipe and reinstall, though. Your GPU performance took a weird hit between those two benchmarks. Unless that’s a really shitty benchmark with high run to run variance.

I also just noticed that you were running that benchmark with no upscaling (which is what you should be doing). You're practically 100% GPU bound now, which means anything you can do to increase GPU frames will be a 1:1 increase in FPS. Turn on DLSS Quality mode and watch your frames jump. You can also usually turn off all of the AA settings, as DLSS basically does that job on its own. You'll likely get 25-30 fps boost just from that alone, and I'll be surprised if you notice any degradation in video quality at all.

Hopefully this is the right spot to ask. My son (9) is wanting a laptop for gaming. Right now he plays Fortnite on the Xbox and Roblox on his iPad. He has been playing Teardown on my brother's computer. Any recommendations for a budget-friendly laptop? Maybe 600-800 dollar range if possible. Don't want to go much over that since I am not sure how much he will actually use it. If nothing in that range what should I be looking at? Thanks

why would i do that instead of just using the main resolution?
if i want 1440p and it scales to 1080p, why not just set the main resolution to 1080p?

i'd make a thread on it so more people will see it.
but in my opinion:
Best Buy ASUS TUF with RTX 3070 for $999 (reg. $1499)

My friend, where have you been for the last several years?
DLSS 1.0 was dogshit. DLSS 2.0+ is some truly impressive tech. (Jury is still out on DLSS 3.0, but your card can't even do 3.0, so we can leave that for another day)
I don't have it in me to do a full explanation this evening, but this is Nvidia's press release when they moved to 2.0: LINK /
I'll say this: I'm not a framerate guy; I'm an eye candy snob. And even I almost never play a game at native if it offers DLSS 2.x, always opting for the Quality setting. Not only does it offer significantly better performance, but in certain situations, like with very thin geometry like power lines, it offers better visuals than native + AA. shite is legit. Trust me, give it a shot.

And now we start getting details on AMD's top card with 3D V Cache, apparently only the 7990XTX will feature the stacked 3D infinity cache, and it doubles to 192MB's with both stacks of 96MB.
3.3GHz-3.6GHz clocks is fricking insane like what?
I'm also assuming these are the cards or at least the top card that was long rumored to be around $1500.
I wonder if we'll get a tease or anything at CES next month when they officially introduce the 3D CPUs. Would be a good time to hint at your 3D GPU.

RX 7990 XTX
First, the RX 7990 XTX will reportedly feature 96 RDNA 3 Compute Units (CUs) with boost clocks ranging from 3.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz. The card is expected to pack 24 GB of VRAM, a 384-bit bus, and a memory speed of 24 Gbps. The leaker thinks that, with 192 MB of Infinity Cache, the RX 7990 XTX will be the only RDNA 3 SKU to employ 3D V-Cache. Finally, the RX 7990 XTX will allegedly have a 405 W TBP.
For comparison's sake, the RX 7900 XTX has the same number of CUs and VRAM, but the card can only boost to 2.5 GHz and has 96 MB of Infinity Cache at 355 W TBP. So if the RX 7990 XTX materializes, we can expect a notable performance bump vs the RX 7900 XTX based on the clock speed improvements alone.

I cant wait to see some of these benchmarks. The 7990 XTX might be a shut up and take my money

I’m hoping AMD can meet these expectations. Nvidia needs to be punished for its pricing hubris.

How often are you guys upgrading hardware? I built my first computer in 2013. I've only upgraded the video card and RAM slightly.

I used to fly through hardware. About 4 years ago I pretty much cooled off and only do upgrades when I see a deal I cant pass up
Posted on 12/1/22 at 5:14 pm to HailToTheChiz
Used to yearly. Now I've still got my 8700K from 2017 but I still get a new gpu every gen or other gen at worst.

How often someone should upgrade is answered by a simple question: is your computer still doing what you want it to do?
If you're gaming at 1080p 120fps, you can likely go a decade without upgrading with little to no issue.
On the other hand, if you're a high res, high setting gamer who is still trying to get the highest framerate possible, then you're basically upgrading GPU every generation and CPU probably ever second generation, if your financial situation can justify it.
Most people are going to somewhere in the middle.

5800x3D w/ 6900XT and I’m having a hard time waiting another gen for mobo/cpu. Will most definitely get the 7990XTX if it’ll fit in my lian li and run on my 1200w power supply for a year until I go next gen cpu mobo w DDR5
If I hadn’t overpaid out the arse to build this pc February 2021 I’d probably do it

Are you actually playing anything right now that wants more than the 5800x3D can give it?

how long do you think this will last? i've never had a CPU this "powerful" before.

idk. like... how "future-proof" is it.
