It was from Reddit, but I'm still covered with Paypal G&S

Yes, 6950XT is the best priced card out there for performance per dollar.

Yeah pcpartpicker is great. Been around a long time.

I mostly play on PS5 now so I would want it to do at least everything it could do so yes to ray tracing etc. Im not sure what the higher settings actually do like anti alias or any of that my reason for getting it would be an at least exact same PS5 level experience but able to mod and have the pc port options studios give.

The issue with trying to track performance of modern consoles is that they dynamically reduce resolution to float fps when needed. Just because it says you’re getting 4k RT 30fps doesn’t meant that’s actually what you’re getting.

Are there any good AIO's that are upgradable down the line? I want to get a better AIO fory 12900k, but I also want to possibly add my video card down the line to the loop.

I know swiftech used to do something like it

While there have been some “modular” aios over the years, I can’t think of any that allowed for true multi component modular loops, though I’ll concede there could be something out there I’m just not aware of. You’re most likely going to need to do two separate aios for cpu and gpu (or a hybrid gpu), or you’ll need to go full “custom”, though most major companies are offering “kits” that basically serve as full solutions to a custom loop.

Very nice

Just finished Jedi: Survivor, and I’ve gotta say, I now really understand the HWU comparison of native/DLSS/FSR. Prior to this, I had never used FSR because there was no reason to use it over DLSS, which I had access to. With J:S being an AMD sponsored game, I was limited to FSR, and honestly, I just wasn’t particularly impressed. It’s fine. The performance gain is worth using over native. But it was noticeably worse than any recent implementation of DLSS 2.x. Some areas looked really great, but sizzling and ghosting were downright immersion breaking at certain points, and I say that as someone who always uses DLSS Quality over native. I’m pulling for AMD to continue closing the gap, but FSR still has a ways to go before it’s a true challenge to DLSS.

I was playing at 1440x3440, and yeah, kinda meh. Again, probably worth the degradation on average for the performance boost, but definitely more of a compromise than DLSS. Sizzling is really hard to catch in a screenshot, but ghosting was so bad on one elevator that I felt compelled to take one:



ETA: The fact that you can tell at a glance whether I'm going up or down is a fricking problem

I'm assuming it's going down.

Ja

I swear, it's like counting tree rings. I think I can see about 15 on the wall towards the right before they finally fade out.
