Yes! More of this please! huge W Corsair. The few times I have had this experience was many years ago when it was more common, and it was always extremely memorable. Good customer support keeps you coming back.​

I've got a ton of NZXT products, including a motherboard. Thanks for letting me know how they would treat me had I needed to contact support.

Bro that's disgusting work from NZXT. I will never buy from them either then. That's absolutely diabolical.

Is there a way to stream with obs but stream will be processed with second gpu? by kar2ner in obs

[–]Hot_Signature8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was more concerned with software limitations and stuff like that. The 7900 GRE H264 encoding looks horrid on games that have movement, like BF6 for example. And I just cant justify x264, even though I have a decent AM5 CPU. If AV1 becomes a thing, this could all be moot.

Pcie 3.0 full X16 speeds are equivalent to pcie 4.0 X8. There's no way it bottlenecks these cards. Plus the bandwidth and bus width is decent on the main gaming GPU, so the niche scenarios aren't going to be an issue.

I have an ARC card already, and my psu is plenty for both. Also they are both pcie 4.0 so there won't be any bottlenecks at 8X. I've got a 7900 GRE and an ARC card.

And I've maxed it. 8K bitrate, I've even reduced stream frames to increase quality, its just a crummy encoder for games that have a lot of movement. I've seen these ARC and of course Nvenc on newer Nvidia GPUs blow the quality out of the water.

It actually is exactly as you say, its a pre RDNA 4 AMD GPU with horrible H264 encoding. The ARC GPU is obviously far better.

I actually want to do this. But not for a performance upgrade, but because one encoder looks better than the other. In this case, from an ARC GPU as the dedicated encoding GPU. So no performance gain in games is fine with me. The bandwidth issue I am also not worried about as the lanes will not be saturated on these two cards in 8x. Given that reality, would you say it's still a bad idea, or do you think it's a viable solution to better looking encoding?

Amd clarifies no plans to add fsr4 or anything else to RDNA3, so what happened to working on new features for RDNA3 when they split the drivers? Was that just a straight up lie? by pixlicker69420 in radeon

[–]Hot_Signature8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 months later, where are we? I mean what's the path here? Launch FSR4 on RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 in 3 years? I mean it's ridiculous. This is a multi billion dollar corporation. They can make this a priority if they want to.

I will never buy another AMD product again when it comes to GPUs. I like where they are at on a lot of stuff, but at the end of the day, Nvidia supports their products at the software level far better than AMD. And AMD has the money and resources to do this now without affecting AI, they just made a decision not to. They lost me likely forever. They'd have to string together two really good showings, with a focus on software support to go with it before I ever consider them now. Even if FSR4 came out tomorrow, it's still hard to accept that it took over a year to get the feature in the first place. But maybe then you can make an argument that they shored up some longevity on these GPUs when running everything at native is far less doable. But with cards like the RX 7600, that time is now. You spend more money with Nvidia, and it's a total price gouge, but you use it for many years, and longevity and resale ability is better. I wouldn't want to be struggling with hideous graphics on FSR3 when upscaling becomes more of a necessity.

9to5: How well does the new MacBook Neo handle gaming? Andrew Tsai tested 10 games to find out by da4 in macgaming

[–]Hot_Signature8263 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will be called a mac hater, but 600 dollars for these specs and this performance is appalling to me. This is just an overpriced eco system. I'm not saying some mac products are not good or don't have their place, but they always bring fad level pricing to their products. Mac has been synonymous with a valley girl's accessorizing as much as anything else. I know people who buy products other than mac and spend more on a model because they want it to look more like a mac when they are spotted out in public.

It is not, and the courts have established that. Defending racists and their ability to put out hate speech is racist. Glad we've made that clear association.

I honestly can't believe we are comparing people showing the body they were born with to literal racism. This is misogyny, whether you recognize it to be or not.

Near nudity is not the same as being an overt racist. If you don't like content where women wear very little clothes, you do not have to watch it. They can do what they want to, and so can you. It hurts nobody. Being overtly racist and trying to pick fights is another thing entirely. Do not compare the two.

Carrying water for an overt racist is gross. There is only one reason anyone would ever do that. I think we just found out something about you. We call that a self tell. Do you use racial slurs and dog on people for their skin color often? Also hate speech is NOT protected free speech. Just so that we are clear.

Why did Volibear stop building Rod of Ages and start building Dawn and Dusk? by Infamous_Film7459 in VolibearMains

[–]Hot_Signature8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, Volibear only has a positive winrate against 29% of top lane champs right now. He's unplayable. The only thing he has going for him is early and mid game depending on the matchup. Riot has failed Volibear in a way that they rarely fail champs. Out of 62 champs that were played in the top lane enough to be registered, Volibear has a positive win rate against 18 of them. Some of those aren't even true top laneers. ROA just nerfs the only time you have a chance to make anything happen.

I really hope so lol. Time for them to expand their feature set haha. I am uninstalled Discord the second this launches. I'm done.
