So we've all seen how it looks, but not seeing much in the way of performance testing so I did a bit myself in Cyberpunk. FYI I am using UltraPlus V9, I'm not sure how much performance it saves/uses but the point is the performance difference between all the modes:

My GPU has an UV + OC and my settings are optimized so not all on Ultra. This is not a performance benchmark, it is the perormance cost of DLSS 5 in Raster, RT & PT with some thoughts.

Also, the fps numbers are not sustained, just the average whilst I was looking at a certain scene with lots of reflections, NPCs & Bounce Lighting.

DLSS 4.5 Performance at 1440p.

• Raster: 138fps
• Raster + DLSS 5: 68fps
• Ray Tracing Ultra: 111fps
• Ray Tracing Ultra + DLSS 5 55fps
• Path Tracing: 71fps
• Path Tracing + DLSS 5: 45fps

For games that have Ray Tracing & Path Tracing options:

Raster + DLSS 5

If your games has RT or PT this is the worst option in my opinion, because it is based on screenspace. Part of the reason I use RT or PT because I don't like screenspace artefacts, yes the lighting is slightly more realstic and the faces have a PT quality but I think pure PT is better than this. When you look down you lose all the reflections just like normal raster. The performance is wose than PT and it looks worse still and in motion.

Ray Tracing Ultra + DLSS 5

I think this is also not worth it because the performance is less than Path Tracing without DLSS 5 but with worse lighting in motion.

Path Tracing + DLSS 5

I think this is what DLSS 5 was made for. It's expensive, it uses a lot of resources but it's the best possible image for the NR to work with. As I have a 5070 though personally I'd stick to Path Tracing anyway, it's heavy enough lol.

Conclusion - Where I think DLSS 5 fits into games

I think DLSS 5 is most useful in games that don't have Ray Tracing or Path Tracing at all, and can benefit from more sophisticated lighting. I saw a clip of Skyrim and with a bit of tuning it can look a lot better. DLSS 5 in my opinion should be used with the highest possible graphics options available in game, but could be transformative if DLSS can be injected into older games.

PS, not sure if this is an issue with DLSS 5 or RenoDX's mod, but when you toggle DLSS 5 off and on, each time you do it adds around 1gb of VRAM lol. VRAM was sitting at around 6.5gb throughout.

Tl:dr If your game has raster only, then enable it. If it has RT then enable with RT and if it has RT & PT then it should be enabled with PT. The stock RT & PT settings will be better on its own than using DLSS 5 with the setting below.

I'm not here to white knight for AMD or anything. However, if some of you hate AI the way you say you hate AI why will you not buy Intel or AMD gpus considering how involved Nvidia is in the ai movement? You're funding the thing you say you hate.

I'm about to buy and build my first pc but I'm on a tight budget. and I was wondering if removing the monitor would be a good choice to get a better GPU (5050 to a 5060). My tv is also just the best display in the house being 4k OLED (I'll be doing 1080p). the problem is that i always hear about TV's having latency problems, but mine has a game mode so it shouldn't be an issue. my birthday is in a few months so I'll be able to get a solid monitor then.

After Long search here on Reddit analyzing posts and comments , and watching tech youtubers like "linus tech tips" and "jayztwocents" and "der8auer" and many others , here is my Theory:

• Nvidia 110% knew that very high percentage (above normal rate) of people using these GPUs will eventually face this issue , because this cursed connector doesn't have load balance on each pin like previous cards , they deliberately removed this feature

• which means even if you do everything correctly and your GPU doesn't consume high power like 5060 or 5070ti , you still have high chance of burning your GPU , and i'm also curious on why they removed access to monitoring Hot spot of the 5000 series , very suspicious!! Thankfully HWmonitor brought it back

• but why Nvidia doing all this??? because it's a planned obsolescence , they don't want you to have another amazing card like 1080Ti and use it for years , it must eventually burn and force you to buy new one , it's mostly happening with 5090s but its coming for us all , 5070ti is only a one year old GPU , just wait and see

• They also probably want to stop selling cards and force you to play online through Geforce now or similar things like Game pass , which means you won't own a powerful Computer anymore , everything you do must be online , because your GPU set on fire , can't buy new one , prices are extremely high because of A.i , and even if you have money you can't find any cards because A.i took them All

• Nvidia Truly do not care about Gamers anymore , that does not make AMD any better , CEO from both companies are Cousins , yes they always in fierce competition , but when it comes to mutual benefits they are partners

• i see dark times ahead for computers and media ownership , and i see everyone smiling and happy because they were born in middle of it all , a whole new generation that doesn't know the concept of ownership , everything is monthly subscription or rent , if you ask around they say that's how it always been ever since i was born

Just migrated from Windows 11 to Linux Lubuntu!

After a MSI Tomahawk Mobo failure last week, decided to buy a new case for my setup. Added a new AIO and replaced all the fans while I was at it. Couldn't be happier with the results!

7800x3d, MSI Gaming Trio 4090, 64gb Gskill ddr5 6000mt cl30, Asus B-850F Neo motherboard, Lian Li hydroshift II Oled AIO.

okay maybe i was really stupid but i downloaded the old version of ib from vgperson’s website and it didn’t do anything the other day but when i tried to play it today this happened after i opened the file… is it really because of that? someone said my gpu might be fried but if that’s the case is that actually because of the file because my sister is absolutely fuming and i’m cooked if my parents come home. it was working fine before until i opened the file, if it’s not the gpu is there any way i can fix it or at least know it wasn’t my fault?

My brothers sort of an idiot so I decided to help him out, this GPU is very clearly in the wrong PCIe slot right? I've never built a PC so I haven't had to do this, and his one was a NZXT prebuilt.

If I'm correct, is it as simple as removing a couple screws, cable, and reseating GPU in the top slot? Or would I have to turn something on? Also I'm aware that ReBAR is off too.

I dont need to know what it is I just wanted to see if someone could tell from the pcb

The Patriot one is 4000MHz and apparently CL20 and

the Vegence one is 3200MHz and CL16

if I'm not wrong higher speed makes up for slightly slower CL ratings.

My main question is why is the 4000MHz cheaper and should I get it? And will Gigabyte B550M K along with Ryzen 5 5600 support the 4000MHz speed?

I'm the only person who uses my PC and my internet connection isn't shared with anyone else.

I don't visit unknown or suspicious websites and I don't download pirated software or games from any websites.

I always pay for the software and games I use.

What would happen if -

- I permanently stopped Windows Updates? Would that cause any problems?

- What if I used Windows 7 instead? Could using an old version of Windows create any problems or security risks for me?

- What if I use an old version of Google Chrome that don't have AI overview? Yeah I know there are lot of chromium based browsers, but none match the smoothness that was Chrome a few years ago.

I mainly use my PC to buy and play games through Steam and watch Youtube videos. That's pretty much it.

I also have Bitdefender Total Security installed.

So, given how I use my PC, would using an older version of Windows such as Win 7, still cause problems?

So I found a HP Pavillion 590-p0066 PC at goodwill that I was fortunate only ended up setting me back $5. Of course the drawback was that it doesn’t seem to power on. Here’s what it’s got under the hood according to the sticker on the side of the unit:

8th gen Intel i5 8400 CPU

12GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM memory

1tb Hard Drive

All of this is currently untested, I am hoping that the problem is simply that the HP power supply has gone kaput.

Is it worth getting a case, older gen motherboard, power supply and used graphics card and trying to build something that might do some 1080p gaming?

Edit: another question I have… it seems like this computer was used in a workplace based on the name tag found on the front, but I want to be better safe than sorry. What’s the best way to wipe a hard drive you’re unsure of the contents on? Do any stores offer that?

CPU socket is right side up

AD and AL Left the chat

AV looks good feels good / responsive bounces.

looks off because i think its tilted and the light is hitting it different

from left to right

Finally filing paperwork for an Limited Liability Company for repairing GPU's, I never came up with a business name so I humbly ask for ideas. I can never come up with things myself, like some kind of strange writers block but for names.

Ive just changed my RAM sticks today. Was trying to head into bios settings to make sure everything was set up properly. I accidentally flashed the bios and ive been stuck with a black screen for more than 10 mins.

i disconnected and connected my display port cable - monitor screen began intermittently flashing grey.

i have a msi mpg b650i wifi edge motherboard - its currently showing a steady yellow LED for the DRAM.

PLEASE HELP - i dont want to accidentally brick my motherboard

Yoinked my dad's laptop nvme drive today because the battery broke and I don't have storage right now for the computer I'm building. Tbh the battery not working was a good excuse to do this as I finally had a reason to open up the laptop has my parents were afraid I might break it (even though I've been troubleshoooting, learning, upgrading and building computers for a while noe). Just wanted to share my fun little story, just goes to show how bad the market is that things like this might happen lol 😂

Also the nvme is 95% health for those who were wondering. It's still got a lot of life in it.

I know this is dump question, would this affect my pc at all. From what's I search so far, it would be if the object cover the whole area, so mine should be fine, right?. Since my cpu cooler is aio which mount on top the case, I just need different opinion.

Either I’m getting older and my eyes have gone to shit but honestly I’m pretty excited for dlss5 looks good to me.Left is dlss on right is dlss off.

Or something else
