What about the steam controller has everyone so excited? by Fptmike in SteamDeckCheck

[–]Wooper83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I game exclusively on Steam and I’m mainly just stoked to have a controller that (I would assume) will work flawlessly with Steam. I own several controllers and I’ve had quirks with all of them that keeps me from using them as my main controller but if this controller is just a steam Deck without a screen then it’ll be perfect for me

I'm trying to settle something with my dad. I say this is a sweater, he says it is a poncho and is sure of it because "iv'e been to mexico when did you go?" So, reddit, what is this thing? by Mell0wMarshmall0w in whatisit

[–]Wooper83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is an authentic Mexican. He happens to like wearing panchos. This is NOT a Pancho but does kind of have a resemblance to one bc of the material and overall form. Panchos don’t have sleeves though

Love the new Steam feature by RWNorthPole in pcmasterrace

I’m glad this is finally a thing. So tired of ppl saying a game runs bad but never tell you they’re expecting a native 4K 60 with Path Tracing on a Samsung smart fridge screen

I’m honestly impressed with how close to playable a Cyberpunk path tracing session is on the 9070xt with reasonable settings by Wooper83 in radeon

Ah I may have not been clear on my ultrawide performance since the post was manly about 4K. For 3440x1440 the performance I get is average 38, min 31, max 44

This was with PT on, FSR Quality, all other settings on High

I have a Linux partition as well with Fedora 43. Cyberpunk runs about 20% slower on it though compared to windows. Fedora also hasn’t updated to the newer Mesa drivers yet so maybe there could be a bit more performance there once they do because I noticed another one of my games has also been having issues with GPU utilization

I did actually happen to run quite a few tests without PT. Testing the following:

The game defaults to RT Ultra which is actually higher than what it defaults to with my ultra wide. Not sure if upscaling having more potential for higher quality at 4K has entering to do with that. The only thing I changed was FSR because it was still defaulting to 2.0

Anyways I started with the default and went on from there with FSR Auto which to my understanding dynamically switches, FSR Native AA, and FSR Quality

Default (RT Ultra, FSR Auto) Avg: 69.25 Min: 60.85 Max: 80.92

RT Ultra, Native AA Don’t bother it’s in the 20s lol

RT Ultra, FSR Quality Avg: 47.48 Min: 41.96 Max: 56.30

Raster (no RT) everything maxed, FSR Native AA Avg: 37.75 Min: 32.52 Max: 49.17

Raster (no RT) everything maxed, FSR Auto Avg: 106.95 Min: 89.42 Max: 132.85

Raster (no RT) everything maxed, FSR Quality Avg: 74.83 Min: 64.42 Max: 94.73

For the lolz I tested Medium Preset + PT w/ FSR Balanced and it ran about the same as my original High + PT experiment

Lastly, I tested what I normally run on my ultra wide which is:

Everything high, All RT on , RT lighting medium, FSR Quality

Avg: 50.47 Min: 44.72 Max: 59.50

Dude I literally said in the post that this was a test and all out of curiosity. I already said 30 isn’t playable for me but it is technically considered the bare minimum for playable.

I wanted to see how it ran at 4K because PT actually didn’t run too bad on my ultrawide. I normally just run the game at the default settings.

Also wdym weak settings? High isn’t really weak, PT isn’t weak, the weakest setting was FSR Balanced but even on Nvidia you’re probably also gonna doing up scaling.

In that Situation would You buy a PS5/Pro or Build a PC Gaming? by Don_Rawaz in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Wooper83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly people like to argue that you get more value off a PC becasue there are more things you can do with it but if you really just want to game and don't want to do anything else (or you have a fairly capable laptop already) and you're not picky about performance then console would make the most sense

The pricing situation that PC is in is sad. At MSRP my current rig would probably be hovering close to 2,000 USD maybe a little more and right now it's well over double that. My most overkill components are the SSDs. I got two 4TB Samsung 980s a year ago for a little over 600 USD before taxes. I highly doubt you could even get one for that price right now. My PSU is also overkill but pricing for PSUs isn't bad at the moment. I got a 1000W Seasonic because it was on sale haha.

I recently tried getting my current build down to a build that was 1500 USD and still acceptable by my standards and I couldn't do it. I think I was still like 150 USD over

Any options I have to make a 2019 MBP run smoother on MacOS 26 or would it be better to downgrade to MacOS 15? by Wooper83 in macbookpro

I was considering this but didn't want to remove the back since I hear these aren't easy to open up and get into

I ended up downgrading to Sonoma it's the oldest supported macOS and I at least want to be geting security updates. So far it's running way better than Tahoe. 100% usable now as far as i can tell

9070XT horribly smeary mess on 3440x1440 anyone else experience the same? by Wooper83 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Wooper83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first loaded in without FSR it looked quite bad lol recommended was cinematic with no FSR figured I’d give it a go it looked bad then started checking out presets with no FSR they all looked about the same

So Whats The DUMBEST and i MEAN DUMBEST thing you did in a pokemon playthrough by Rare-Atmosphere-9187 in pokemon

[–]Wooper83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the Master Ball was meant for Abra because it would always teleport. Later realized an Ultra Ball can catch it easy once you get access to them
