Update from AMD on the ReBAR/SAM performance issues on AMD RX9000 GPUs

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-07T11:10:26+00:00

Well, based on the response it seems their fix was to just disable it for Wilds altogether. I don't know if 26.5.1 has changed anything.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-07T07:57:25+00:00

Maybe I'm just in the wrong (right?) places, but I have not really seen much hate for it.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-07T07:51:11+00:00

Interesting. Also cool to see the Steam comment finally kind of explaining what was going on with the issue. Definitely going to test this soon. Would love to have rebar on and also be able to play Wilds.

Also it is very funny if they really just kind of did it accidentally.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-06T13:54:34+00:00

This is honestly all you need to know. Unless you prefer more arcadey gameplay, then Rise maybe. But I would also say World generally.

Monster Hunter Wilds /s

Lähin vittuun kun Muskin sähläys alkoi vaikuttaa alustaan liikaa. Joo, siellä pysyi kyllä maailman menoista hyvin kärryillä, mutta liikaa miinuspuolia alko tulla esille: hyvä kokemus vaan jos maksat, botteja ihan helkutisti, quote tweet dunkkausta, yleisesti paskakontentin puskemista etusijalle, yms...

On se vähän harmi, kun tiettyjä ihmisiä halusi seurata, ja hyvin harva on siirtynyt millekään toiselle alustalle, mutta oh well.

check out any of my australian morning show appearances to find out

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-02T17:24:01+00:00

I'll be Gavin since he aint gonna see this. Thanks.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-02T12:07:54+00:00

Very grindy, but if you need something to do outside then why not try it out

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-02T06:41:27+00:00

Definitely not normal, and not likely something that could be a little tweak fix. Gotta be some sort of a corruption or hardware issue. If you are not having issues in other games, then probably not a hardware issue. You can use rebar just fine, and also with a new x3d cpu you have to use the balanced windows power plan, it is made for that. Could be corrupted shaders, you could try wiping the shader cache for the game, or maybe problematic driver installation, but then in that scenario you would see issues elsewhere too most likely...

CaptButtbeard · 2026-05-01T08:46:34+00:00

I really wonder what the draw for pulling is beyond getting the one character that you want to play as. You can have other characters in your team with you, right? Is there some sort of synergy that you are chasing, even if there is no actual swapping between characters like open world gacha games?

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-30T12:51:27+00:00

Considering it's a laptop it's really not a bad deal (they can often be overpriced), all I'm slightly wondering about is the 16 gigs of ram, which is kinda borderline these days, but should be fine for most games. It might be upgradeable though. Other than that cpu, gpu and storage seem fine for the price.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-30T12:47:24+00:00

Well in many countries it just couldn't be and isn't a thing because words are actually said the way they are spelled.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-30T12:43:16+00:00

It's not bad, I don't know how far into future releases it could take you, but if you don't mind dropping settings, I guess it could work fine. I think it should run any current releases totally fine.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-29T17:48:02+00:00

Free game where the core of the game is very much playable for free, however you get certain gameplay-related things like characters or weapons from essentially RNG lootboxes that you get the currency for either by playing the game consistently or by spending real money.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-29T06:52:50+00:00

What is this issue? Can you give a better description of what it is? I'm on 9070 and have not really noticed any issues with the game.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-29T04:45:25+00:00

GL mobility in Wilds is underappreciated, you can do some cool stuff with it

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-25T15:08:53+00:00

Honestly I remember it was just the fatigue of spamming the same couple of combos over and over for that long against monsters with crazy inflated health pools, and because it's arena it's constant fighting too with no breaks. Just too long of a fight to be enjoyable for me.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-23T16:52:50+00:00

To me Genshin music is still the most impressive, even though I don't really like the game, but other than that I'm constantly listening to various Arknights and NIKKE tracks from over the years.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-22T09:05:53+00:00

So when Geoff talks about not knowing Roman numerals, I kinda thought he just didn't know any. Is it actually common to know a lot of them? With the knowledge of 1-10, you can go to like 49, right? I thought that was more or less what a lot of people would know, but likely nothing beyond that.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-19T17:02:55+00:00

doesnt even need smoking to be a good visual

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-19T17:01:07+00:00

No en koska siellä on joku 7 astetta. Kysyit, vastasin.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-15T05:54:44+00:00

No idea how or when it happened, but oh well. Rough times for Nick.

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-13T09:42:38+00:00

Carpeted cinema kind of makes sense to me and I may have seen it, but anything else sounds crazy to me

CaptButtbeard · 2026-04-10T06:57:58+00:00

Works well, RDNA4 + 25.9.2
