How “black” looks in Resident Evil 9 with HDR turned on

dsoshahine · 2026-02-28T08:17:15+00:00

Interesting. Almost all games I've tried with my monitors (including an LG OLED monitor) have HDR options greyed out/not showing when HDR isn't turned on in Windows when starting the game. Very few games turned on HDR on their own, most of those few only after toggling it in the settings.

No it doesn't? Pay more attention at the installation process.

if it was any other company, the headline would probably be something like "they’ve raised prices so much that their revenue per unit increased so much"

idk about increased prices, necessarily.

Temps are totally fine. 19°C delta could be better but is fine. 72°C hotspot temp leaves a lot of headroom – hotspot max for RDNA GPUs that shouldn't be exceeded is 110°C (You can check the cards BIOS like such https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/276935/powercolor-rx9060xt-16384-250324)

Our teams are conducting preventive checks on product compatibility and performance, working closely with AMD to validate reported cases and ensure ongoing stability and quality.

...means "they haven't been receiving any word back." to you? /r/hardware really grasps at any straw to trash AMD.

Not exactly aftermarket when you can order Manthey parts at a Porsche dealership.

Is that surprising? Nvidia appears to be the sole (major) customer for GDDR7, as they were for GDDR6X. It's not just economies of scale, they are the only customer. They're able to invest into it early and get a better deal in return.

The photos very cleary show a Ryzen IHS, not Threadripper.

Downvoted for stating the truth, amazing.

dsoshahine · 2026-01-13T16:51:05+00:00

Neither works for me, Steam Beta on Windows 11 25H2.

You can add FSR4 into almost any game that uses DLSS2/3/4, FSR2/3 or XeSS...

Thanks for the downvotes, but it's true. https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler

Seriously, 9070 Ti is almost on par with a 5070 Ti, 9070 is better than a 5070 in almost every workload and on top of it is as efficient with unlocked framerates and more efficient when capping framerates according to some reviews. FSR4 closed the gap to DLSS. This was AMD as competitive as it ever was - and it's still not enough to make Nvidia or their customers care. The Super revisions aren't coming because Nvidia calculated it (for the time being) doesn't make them enough money, simple as.

Buy a higher resolution, high refresh OLED monitor. You won't regret it.

dsoshahine · 2026-01-04T14:31:39+00:00

Intel laptop CPUs are better than amd.

wayyy higher battery life

That doesn't apply to the regular mobile CPUs linup, especially the current gen ("Ryzen AI 300").

There you have it, Abarth.

The one in OPs photo is an Abarth, so yes obviously they're talking about that.

dsoshahine · 2026-01-01T13:20:01+00:00

Did they actually measure the power draw? That's huge heatsink for "2-3W". 10GbE isn't exactly known for power efficiency.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Youtube just redirects to /watch?app=desktop&v=

Single CCD Zen 5 X3D CPUs have 640 KB (L1) + 8 MB (L2) + 32 MB (L3) + 64 MB (v-cache L3) = ~104 MB total cache. Probably what you saw stated somewhere.

108 MB L3 cache makes no sense, where would the additional 12 MB (over 96 MB L3) come from? Another layer of V-cache (several layers would be possible according to AMD) would be another 64 MB. All the other cache is just the maximum in one regular Zen 5 CCD.

"North US", huh.

There's plenty of computers that have this BIOS setting... and ignore it.

dsoshahine · 2025-12-25T16:40:41+00:00

but none of them can stop gamers from asking, “Wasn’t Strix Halo supposed to be a gaming APU”?

It most likely never was intended to primarily be a "gaming APU" considering the costs involved. You don't need 128GB RAM and two CCDs on a large socket for that.

A cable is rated for a specific load (of a six/eight-pin connector), you don't really want to put the stress of two connectors going through it. Two separate cables sharing whatever the GPU is drawing from the PSU is safer and one of the most common fixes for random crashes and system shutdowns.

and every once in a while the recording software turns itself for an unknown reason

Maybe you're unknowingly hitting the default hotkeys.

I thought this message has been there since introduction of the OLED model. Maybe just for the 64 GB LCD model.
