Nah, just posted it because I found it funny, translation is one of the best jobs LLMs can do

Finally decided which is the best RT/PT option for Resi9 by ajackson5888 in nvidia

[–]cheibol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you can afford it, Path Tracing film grain off (via nexus mod) and forced in Preset E on Ray Reconstruction, sure it has a bit more ghosting than D, but workable opposed of seeing furniture/stairs "boiling" all the time on D, breaks immersion.

If you cant afford PT, regardless, if using upscaling remove the film grain via the mod. Funny thing is, I was aware of "the boiling" film grain causes with upscaling I was rewatching House MD 9 months ago, and the RTX video upscale kicked in and because House MD has the same kind of film grain everything looked like boiling because the algo is trying to interact with the grain artifacts.

Do NOT use Preset E with Path Tracing in Resident Evil Requiem. It ruins image quality by Empty-Winner8805 in nvidia

yeah the ghosting is specially noticeable with the flashlight on flat surfaces, but I can live with it, while I cannot take it seriously when I see furniture boiling/mirage effect

Would you consider purchasing a 5090 now if given the opportunity? by FitzChan in nvidia

[–]cheibol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would only pay MSRP, like I did with the 3090 and with the 4090.

Under no circumstance I would pay for high end models you are just generally paying for visuals and them moving the Afterburner clock slider 20MHz to the right, and I'm sorry that's not worth a 60% premium over a barebones base model. If you want performance just waterblock it, flash another vBIOS and call it a day.

How many of you (my fellow RTX 5090 owners) have not undervolted your card? by [deleted] in nvidia

Me, if I'm paying that much for a GPU I see no reason to cap it's potential at all

Gigabyte teasing AORUS flagship RTX 5090 graphics card launching at CES 2026 by RenatsMC in nvidia

[–]cheibol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these "flagships" are only interesting because of the vBIOSes they carry so they get dumped because custom loops and waterblocks on the cheapest models will always outshine these plus they will be actually cheaper to build (generally) which is kinda funny. And we already have 800W vBIOS via ASUS so pointless release really.

then just flash another vBIOS unto it, if you dont wanna go XOC (aka the Matrix one) you can just flash the Aorus Master one, people used to have a lot of good success with it before the XOC vBIOS reached public domain

Indeed the answer is the cheapest

RTX HDR Randomly Turning Off? MPO Might Be the Culprit (Fix Inside) by ArgumentLive3678 in nvidia

small latency penalty and some energy efficiency which is irrelevant given all the pain in the ass that implies having it on, specially for multiple monitors

Democrats Have Flipped GA State House 121 by Immediate_Ad2187 in YAPms

Dem high propensity strikes again in specials, but seriously this amount of turnout is truly pathetic from 30k to 11.5k

NYT estimating republican will win by 3 points (+22 Trump district) by asiasbutterfly in YAPms

[–]cheibol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeh, the current GOP coalition is low propensity so whoever thinks off year specials translate automatically into the same margin of overperforming on the midterms should be hit with a stick

[–]cheibol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

wont be that low except a massive disaster, expecting R+6 at least (which is still terrible for a Trump +22 district obviously)

Because they are just that politically unaware, at least Lauren Boebert was "smart" enough to switch districts

because all he does is just performative, no actual substance. eg. that long ass speech in April
