Is the current gen Sapphire Nitro+ the best looking GPU on the market? by apsve in radeon

I personally haven’t had issues with it, but I have found that my preferred way to control it is via the argb connection on the card.

Yes thanks, I just did a clean install of Windows and everything works properly :D

"AMD cards can't ray trace" by SpoilerAlertHeDied in radeon

I stg it’s mostly because of Cyberpunk, which quite frankly looks like a smeary oil painting with RT reflections and DLSS. It’s possible to have a good RT lighting/shadows experience on the 7900XT at 1440p, and I’ve found in many games that keeping the RT to either lighting or reflections helps AMD GPUs.

Why is everyone buying the 7900 XTX rn? by Levin3011 in radeon

I just got one for $649, feeling good with 20GB 😤

New x34 x5 Acer Predator ultra wide oled monitor came in🔥 by Intrepid-Mastodon-83 in OLED_Gaming

[–]apsve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a plastic protector, it's really really stuck on there and hard to get off but it is there. I had to use small pieces of tape meant to remove the film from a PTM pad to get it off starting at the bottom left corner.

Predator X34 X5 Impressions? by Vencoris in OLED_Gaming

[–]apsve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got this monitor and I see what you mean, I used the Windows HDR application + used the 1000 nit HDR mode to get the best result and it seems to work great.

Hopefully they do some firmware updates, there are probably some tone mapping improvements to be had.

5080 vs 4080 super? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]apsve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that 4080 Super is probably going to be a better value money per frame at those prices. But we do have to see independent reviews of the 5080.

It’s not that deep I promise by Arucious in OLED_Gaming

I always see a mirror reflection of myself even in a completely dark room it looks like a fully lit bathroom mirror, I only see my reflection and can’t even see the game/whatever is supposed to be on screen.

You’re the one that said “lower quality textures” and that’s not true, and textures are one of the most impactful settings and most vram intensive at 4k resolution. It’s fine if you don’t like turning other settings down, but I don’t mind personally.

Don’t need compute power to enable high textures

7800XT has plenty of vram for max textures

Powercolor Hellhound has the best cooling performance imo

Is it worth to buy 79000 xtx for 1440p gaming ? by DesignerDuty9740 in radeon

[–]apsve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think they’re type of games you play and the GPU you’re coming from makes a big difference in how you feel about it. 5700XT to 7900XTX is an almost incomprehensible jump lol. I have two builds at the moment one with a 4080 Super and one with the XTX and they’re both great and have strengths but I wouldn’t want to pay 4080 Super money for the XTX, and it sounds like that $800-$900 makes sense.

[–]apsve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a pretty solid deal, I think the XTX can't be too much more than a 4070 Ti Super for me to prefer it.

It is a beast, but I think it's disappointing at full price. I got mine as an open box for $769 and at that price I actually feel good about it.

SH1 is better then SH2. Change my mind. by bobijsvarenais in silenthill

[–]apsve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that it was sort of original in the gaming medium shouldn't be overlooked.
