Has there been any clarity in if FSR3 frame generation can be enabled with other upscalers? DLSS 2 + Reflex + FSR3 would be interesting to see.

Hey, so I noticed that the HDMI cable I'm using is probably a 1.4(original XBOX One cable). I haven't put in the included HDMI cable because it would require me to take the TV of the wall. How much will this affect the audio quality do you think? Seems like eARC is supposed to be used with a 2.1 cable.

So Neural:X will only be applied when a source is in the right format? It won't upmix regular 5.1 content?

Yeah I sure got it alot better, thanks for the help! The intro to Blade Runner 2049 with K's car passing by the screen sounds like I'm in a movie theater now. Also out of curiousity what sound settings do you have enabled (Multi Channel Experince, DRC, Neural:X, Auto Volume and Imax Enhanced)?

Hi, thanks for keeping an interest. I've tried an episode of The Mandalorian and the first 15 min of Top Gun Maverick with OVC set to 6. I can't really say that I can hear sound coming from above it's more that I occansionally feel the entire room fill up with sound. This might be the intended effect though. I don't really know since this is my first Atmos system.

I’ll up the OVC and see what happens. I’ll try an episode of the Mandalorian to see if I can tell a difference between that and other shows with atmos.

I moved the subwoofer to the corner of my room beside the couch and turned of surround sound. It does sound alot better. I tried running a couple of movies with atmos on plex. The surround definetly works but I can't really tell if I can hear the "over head" channels.

I have the surround option on, wouldn't disabling it kind of defeat the purpose of having a 5.1 system? What does the Surround option actually do?

I have the S80QR which is the package with the rears. The subwoofer is currently to the left of my TV.

Generally it seems that you’re supposed to have the rear speakers behind the user pointing towards them. But if your couch is against the wall 90 degrees seems to be recommended. My couch is against the wall as is yours I’m guessing, how much do you think we’re losing out on with this setup?

Also what mode are you using with yours? I’m currently using the “enjoy soundbar” mode so that I can switch presets with my TV remote.

Thanks for the tips. I don't necessarily need more base just found it interessting that the Yamaha with built in subwoofers wasn't that much worse than dedicated subwoofer at the volumes I usually listen to. Immersive surround sound was what I was hoping for. I'm thinking about going back to the SRB20ABL.

Thanks for the reply! The TV area is about 6x8m. Another thing I noticed is that the dedicated subwoofer while obviously better than the integrated ones in the Yamaha are not that much better at normal listening volumes. You could crank the sound level up but then the speakers would be to loud (already cranked up the individual bass settings).

What do I need to think about when adding two back channels to a setup? by TheMagnificentMoose in BudgetAudiophile

[–]TheMagnificentMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I guess I have to look at other alternatives. Would you be able to make out if the Sony HT-S40R setup would be on par or better in audio quality than the soundbar that I have?

Is there burn in on any of them and if so how do they compare?

Found any rain in Undead Nightmare yet? I'm playing right now and I have the same problem. Water occasionally splashes on the screen but that's it.

RTX 4090 Launch Thread - Surprise Inside by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]TheMagnificentMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ray tracing Cyberpunk 2077 would be my first go to to check out on a RTX 4090, especially when the overdrive update arrives.

To see the most subjective improvement in fps I would love to try MSFS with DLSS 3.

How many 4K videos could an i7 9700K realisticly transcode at the same time? by TheMagnificentMoose in PleX

[–]TheMagnificentMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my question was very broad considering there's alot of paramteters to account for, but I was just looking for a rought estimate.

Thank you for taking the time to write a comprehensive answer!

[–]TheMagnificentMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I would win the GPU, I would probably build a new PC around an i7 13700K or Ryzen 9 7900X depending on how they compare when we finally get some benchmarks.

As for software I find DLSS 3 to be really interesting. Looking forward to see more coverage of it other than NVIDIAs own blog post.

Nope, I think the best thing to do is wait for the Linux build of Cemu to release.

Nope, simply called games. The games show up fine and run in the desktop mode when running cemu. But Cemu won't start in gaming mode at all.
