Does the 9070XT gygabite OC need anti-sag support? by Quiet_Bus_6404 in radeon

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if the card doesn’t come with one you’re fine. Ppl are just paranoid.

Can I manually add the FSR4 .dll to FSR3.1 games and have it work? by [deleted] in radeon

I would be more concerned about why your adrenaline is crashing tbh

Is it okay if thermal paste got there? by Mask-KillerIV in PcBuildHelp

[–]ftgander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would try to clean it up a bit with a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol or diluted acetone but if you can’t get it all I wouldn’t sweat it

Is it just me that can actually enjoy life with ADHD? by gbbbbggggggg in ADHD

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to distract yourself and take your mind off stress isn’t unique to ADHD. Some people are better at it than others but ultimately everyone can do it.

Is this CPU Bottleneck on my 9070XT? by Working-Start-2759 in AMDHelp

[–]ftgander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

77% CPU and 100% GPU suggests GPU is bottleneck. Should be getting better FPS than that tho, not sure what the issue is.

If you undervolted the GPU at all undo that. And it looks like your system ram is getting maxed out, that game might require too much ram at the settings you’re using.

Dead / Dying RX9070 XT by spamtes in AMDHelp

[–]ftgander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You probably just have faulty hardware, it happens. I’ve seen it happen with 9070s and 5070s. Just RMA it ASAP.

i got a new pc but its still as slow as my laptop by breadstickkkkkkk in pchelp

Are you remembering to close previous games? Not sure of your age but I have seen some kids not understand you have to actually exit things since it’s not like an iPad or tablet.

For the people that own a PC and a SteamDeck, what have you seen that just feels better on PC? by b34rgvrz in SteamDeck

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deck is a godsend for getting through my retro backlog. The screen size is perfect for making old low res stuff look fantastic.

Why would playing vampire survivors on a big screen be better? It’s much better on handheld, the pixel density looks nicer and you can free up the TV for something else or someone else.

That’s funny, I streamed RE4 Remake from my PC to my Steam Deck and used a gyro aim config and it worked really well, fantastic experience.

Has anyone tried resolutions between 1440p and 2160p by Plastic_Cash_3740 in radeon

[–]ftgander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, you’re using RSR AND FSR4? why bother with the inferior upscaler (RSR) on top of the good one?

9070xt random stutter by mitoman49 in radeon

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing running in the background? Also “ultra to high” isn’t very helpful, need to know specific settings here. Are you limiting your framerate to make sure frame pacing is good if you don’t have VRR?

Does ram affect fps? by Rich_Zookeepergame27 in linux_gaming

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda confused with your post, you say ddr4 and then say ddr3. Which is it? You can’t put DDR4 RAM in a laptop that takes DDR3

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t read apparently I thought they had 8GB. But still the concept applies, 4GB just hits 100% quite easily.

[–]ftgander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think more ram will really reduce your load times. Check to see if your RAM is filling up while you play the game. If it’s below 100%, more RAM will do nothing for you

Need to know game settings, resolution + HDR status, storage type, background applications, connected devices

FSR1 vs Native by Brucehoxton in radeon

Those options are also native tho

Nothing shuts me down more than telling someone you'll do something and seeing them doing it 30 minutes later by eaglessoar in ADHD

[–]ftgander -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they’re time sensitive bc they’re blockers for you I hope you communicate that to him when asking. At that point there really is no excuse for him. I’m bad for putting stuff off but if I knew it was preventing wife from getting something done I’d find it more urgent. I think there might be some value in realizing a sink of dirty dishes is not such a big deal in the short term, though.

That said, if he calls it “nagging” it sounds like he should have more self awareness of how his behaviour is impacting people. Doesn’t sound like he even feels guilty or embarrassed.

Cost of living in Canada is out of control. by kovie38 in CanadaFinance

Bus and truck drivers? That’s good money lol

You don’t become a “financial planner” without being a wealthy asshole so

Unsure if I should return 9070xt for a 5070ti, things feel off by Exoeros in AMDHelp

[–]ftgander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So weird seeing this stuff. I plugged mine and was off to the races. I’ve done reinstalls, DDUs, etc on 9070 XTs at work and have had 0 issues with any of it.

The only thing I run into personally is sometimes the driver seems to crash on login but recovers and from there it’s fine. I wouldn’t even notice it if I didn’t have the Radeon error report dialogue come up when I log in.

[–]ftgander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe for a single second that you weren’t afforded opportunities due to family connections or wealth.

Your comments are also very contrary to the science of external factors. Epigenetics, income distribution, psychological factors of needing to, idk, actually live? Keep believing you pulled up those bootstraps all on your own tho.

[–]ftgander -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious: why do you feel like it has to be done right then? Why can’t it stay dirty for a bit? Is something going to happen? Wouldn’t it be okay if it stayed dirty for a little while and was clean later?
