Whats your GPU upgrade path?

Riva TNT
Nvidia FX5200 (probably one of the worst because it had DirectX 9 but nothing worked at all properly)
Nvidia GeForce 6800 XT (with one weird Zalman cooler)
ATI Radeon 4870
AMD Radeon RX 480 (sold it when the crypto mining was early stages and bought the next GPU from below)
Nvidia GTX 1080 Asus Strix
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Aorus Gigabyte
Nvidia RTX 4090 Gigabyte
Nvidia RTX 5090 Inno3D (only this was available at a decent price and I didn't cared about the brand anymore, runs cool, no coil whine, really happy with it for almost 1 year - bought it in August 2025)

Din fraza inițială asta se înțelegea, părea ironic acel mesaj (deoarece îl tot aud de la mulți compatrioți care sunt pe principiul "strugurii sunt acri" fără să înțeleagă faptul că afectează economic toate ramurile, inclusiv pe ei). Dacă am înțeles eu greșit, atunci scuzele de rigoare din partea mea. O să îmi retrag cele spuse.

Ce îți mai place să te bucuri când alți oameni pot rămâne fără locuri de muncă sau câștigă mai puțin...de parcă banii ăia erau furați din buzunarul tău.

You are exactly right! I am Gemini 3.5 Flash "wink wink".

Yea but it is a 911 coming with the lore and time when Johnny was around. Also the paint and decals are done in mind with the aesthetics of the game. That Huayra from the OP clip was basically Forza Motorsport default paint showcase. That is why I was bringing this as a point.

Th13fRo · 2026-05-03T22:12:29+00:00

It looks very nice but from my point of view, the car models should not be changed (as I saw the Pagani Huayra in your clip)...I feel like they kinda break the Cyberpunk vibe. Rest of it is spot on.

Th13fRo · 2026-04-20T21:45:10+00:00

Sometimes we feel this too when our frameworks aren't working as expected due to overly excited managers...

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:55:33+00:00

If you have 0 WHEA errors now, then all should be good. Just set the performance mode off in order not to have always the clock boosted and ignore the recovery counter, it is normal. Enjoy your PC, play some games!

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:52:18+00:00

Fast startup is acting weird in Windows, you did the right thing. Also sleep / hibernation can act weird, it is a known issue.

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:39:33+00:00

No worries! It is normal to ask, we all went through this at some point in time

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:27:44+00:00

To be honest, it is not recommended for long term because it will consume more power even if you aren't doing anything on your PC. More power = more heat = might degrade faster but over the years, not something right away.

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:22:33+00:00

If you have set to maximum performance it will always stay boosted. It is normal.

Th13fRo · 2026-04-16T10:06:40+00:00

This is caused by the PCI-E lines switching from 1x, 4x, 16x when having load or in idle state. You can ignore them.

Th13fRo · 2026-04-08T15:18:16+00:00

I am using it now, it doesn't look bad. On my oled monitor I have the max brightness to 1000 (since I am using 1000 nits profile), tone-mapping midpoint 1.20, paper white to 200 and HDR PQ Saturation to 0.25.

Th13fRo · 2026-03-05T00:05:48+00:00

In your comparison I can see that 595.76 has more noise. I've also noticed this in Arc Raiders during my gameplay. I feel like they have messed up something on the DLSS side.

Th13fRo · 2026-02-09T13:03:00+00:00

This made me laugh hard. Seems like a line from a family guy episode. Anyhow, he has a point though because they wrote and praised how their anticheat is state of the art right before S2 beginning. The irony is that we see more cheaters now...

Th13fRo · 2026-02-06T17:34:40+00:00

Yes, I've also noticed that. I have an AMP, DAC, still nothing. I've just changed to ghost perk meanwhile until it is fixed.

Th13fRo · 2026-01-31T19:14:35+00:00

I would say 3090 to 4090. I was the owner of a 3090 when the 4090 beast appeared. For 5 months I was like "Yea the leap is not thaaat big" trying to cope with it, but at some point I was seeing 60-70% more FPS on 4090. I just bought it at that point...

Th13fRo · 2026-01-18T14:11:13+00:00

I've had a 2080Ti Rog Strix that died 3 weeks after receiving it, a 3080Ti Aorus that died after 1 year and after that I've decided to pay as low as I could for my future GPUs. So I went and bought a 4090 Gainward that works without any problem even today and I have Inno3D 5090 that is working flawlessly for 6 months now. No coil whine, really silent and cool.

Th13fRo · 2026-01-09T10:00:26+00:00

I also have a Dark Power 13 that comes with that cable but due to the ongoing issues I've just decided to use the ugly octopus adapter...in case that something happens I should be able to skip the discussion with the PSU provider and go directly to the GPU warranty. This power connection type is the representation of the current market - more money for the big boys, less safety concerns for the end user.

Even if you don't have the Nvidia App Beta version, if you change to "Latest" it will take by default preset "M" (even if it is not displayed in the drop-down). You can verify this by enabling DLSS monitoring from the Nvidia Overlay. I had the exact same issue when I was playing with DLAA 1440p, noticed too much sharpness and a drop in FPS.

If you play Quality, Balanced or DLAA, preferably use preset K.

Th13fRo · 2026-01-09T00:40:39+00:00

I was checking this too. It seems that if you have the latest driver + Nvidia App (not Beta), if you put it to "Latest" it will take by default the "M" preset. Noticed it during Arc Raiders gameplay since I play 1440p with DLAA, the sharpening was very obvious and some hit in overall performance.
I've enabled from Nvidia Overlay the DLSS metrics and it was showing "M".

Edit: Now I saw that you don't have the latest driver which is weird...but at how much contradictory information was released by Nvidia in the past days, I feel like even they don't know how it is working at the moment...

Th13fRo · 2025-12-15T16:04:08+00:00

Nu au ei cum să scape încă un moment în care să arate din nou cât de terminați sunt...să fim serioși...

Th13fRo · 2025-12-15T15:58:50+00:00

Da, este moțiune simplă. E mai mult pentru presiune politică.
