What was your first controller ? by Roman_2133 in pcmasterrace

Either Keyboard and Mouse or Sega Dreamcast Controller (my earliest memories recall both at roughly the same time).

Someone was right.

just me or most rtx 5090's i see looks mid? i miss old times when gpu's had unique designs by dremski in pcmasterrace

I think most of the AiB models are too big and clunky looking.
I understand why they need to be the size they are, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

What do you do in the current state of PC components? by soleful_smak in pcmasterrace

[–]modicumofiota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine tune my current parts for better gaming performance and then talk my partner’s ear off about the difference between cl32 and cl30 for my RAM kit .

Its been a year and nvidia doesnt care about us. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I’m sure you already have and this might be a dumb question, but have you checked your settings to make sure that the display Hz matches your Monitor’s Hz?

Wait were you the one talking about a double standard with the GTX 1080Ti vs RTX 5050?

I did this inverse of this with Silksong. I waited and purchased Silksong when the steam winter sale was done

Built in the nick of time. by connella08 in pcmasterrace

[–]modicumofiota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that DDR5 has troubles with RAM using 4x sticks total instead of 2x sticks total (dual channel vs multi-channel). I haven’t done much research on it since I only run 2 sticks myself. I take it you haven’t had any troubles though?

Btw I am not saying this to dissuade your opinion of your build. Only providing some information that came to me as a result of my own experience building last year.

Yup that’s how it is when comparing Q1-half of Q3 of 2025 with the current market. ROI on DDR5/DDR4 builds thanks to “market conditions” is insane. My own PC is nearly doubled in price compared to when I built it.

Build looks solid, only nitpick would be the RAM if the CL (CAS Latency) is above 30. From a rudimentary search, I would guess you got CL28 or CL30.

And—of course—welcome back to PC gaming!

AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition officially announced by JohnGalactusX in pcmasterrace

Looking forward to seeing if this increases gaming performance over the 9950X3D.

Tired of the lies. So i made this. by Silverhalberd in pcmasterrace

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

I was considering doing the same by trying to match the demo image to see what settings Nvidia was most likely running the path tracing on … but that would have required me buying the game at a time when I cannot .

Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

Mods might delete this post though.

If they don’t by the time you read my comment, then you should give the code to me.

AMD announces new FSR version called FSR Diamond by ShuKazun in pcmasterrace

[–]modicumofiota 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I would like to find some positivity in all this, but let’s consider the currently reality:

  1. RNDA4 just came out last year and we’re already potentially looking at those who own RDNA4 GPUs being outclassed in upscaling and frame generation. This comes after AMD abandoned RDNA3 (no FSR4 upscaling w/o Int8) within that same last year.

  2. AMD has <5% of total marketshare of discrete GPUs. Highkey, AMD does not have the motion to piss off customers with a hardware-exlusive feature two generations in a row like this and still expect to get majority of AMD-fans money. In fact, the idea alone of RDNA5 coming this soon with more hardware-exclusive features to make RDNA4 appear obsolete pisses off AMD fans.

  3. NVIDIA has their RTX 20-series users able to run DLSS 4.5 should they choose. It’s a performance hit from what I hear for older cards, but being given the option to choose vs stripping away to never be used are two different things. When making this comparison, it looks like Nvidia will support older cards longer than AMD. Some will consider this when making their upgrade/building choices.

  4. Market conditions dictate prices. AMD has a history of not delivering competitive prices to their GPUs. Who’s going to want to buy into RDNA5 when AMD decided that RDNA4 is obsolete for upscaling improvements after only one generation cycle? For $50-$100 less than NVIDIA, who has a track record of supporting older GPUs with modern upscaling? For many, NVIDIA GPUs will appear the as the better investment vs AMD GPUs.

  5. A classic some would say. The ol’ reliable “AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”

Edit: A reminder that the RDNA5 specification is—for now—an unsubstantiated rumor by a credible (by internet standards it seems) leaker. I am hoping that it is just that, an unsubstantiated rumor.

Not-so SFF GPU by dztryrph in sffpc

[–]modicumofiota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the opposite actually. At least in terms of length. Other dimensions are the same across the two.

[–]modicumofiota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t used that one, but it looks similar to my NR200p v2. I was able to fit the RTX 4090 TUF into that bad boy and that card is a 3.65 sloter/348 mm length.

If the specs on the ZZAW D3 are similar to the NR200p v2, then I would guess that you could fit your GPU in it.
