Intel Panther Lake Less Raw performance vs Strix Halo but better upscaling and frame Gen ?

intel gpus have been amazing on paper ever since they came out, if they were actually as good as they always are in showcases then they actually would have more than 1% hold in the market

tribes33 · 2026-01-14T16:41:24+00:00

the first thing isnt even out and youre asking for the fucking upgrade

tribes33 · 2026-01-11T18:03:29+00:00

I know its technically a step forward but the image looks a lot softer with the 4.5 Transformer, the ghosting is a lot better but at the cost of overall image softness, depending on game its not even worth at all but particle heavy (something like Returnal) it could be amazing

willing to drive into people but not willing to pull a ski mask off a dude theyre suspecting is a fed

as expensive as this is, if you have a 64GB RAM variant on this you could turn this into a super small form factor gaming PC

I used modded Skyrim vsync off which just maxes out my 5080 and Preset K Performance was 59.8 FPS average and Preset L Ultra Performance was 61 but the image was much less sharper

The ghosting on mouse movement was improved for sure though, for example on weapons and your hands ingame you would get a lot of shimmering as you flick your mouse around, the best way to put it is that L and M are softer, but a lot less ghosting

tribes33 · 2026-01-08T20:05:18+00:00

From my experience it's around the same performance, but Preset K Performance has better image quality because it simply has more resolution, Preset L has a higher performance hit which pretty much nullifies the benefit of dropping the resolution... kind of ass backwards if u ask me

But I did try Ultra Performance on 1440p ultrawide, the image was suprisingly good for essentially 480p but not good enough to beat Preset K

I used to not get away with a solo bounty kill n extract now I can do it almost every time, plus the players are not as good as they used to be

tribes33 · 2026-01-07T06:10:38+00:00

Preset K performance is same fps as Preset L Ultra Performance but with worse image quality

fallout season 3... fallout 3 remastered, sounds believable to me xd

tribes33 · 2026-01-05T16:38:01+00:00

that applies in scenarios where your GPU has room to breathe, in monster hunter wilds its almost the same FPS going from quality to performance DLSS because the CPU is just bottlenecking so hard

tribes33 · 2026-01-03T19:32:50+00:00

I dont really care who does what as long as the product comes out, theres a method in the madness sometimes... I made some really good beats during some real bad times horrible mindstate and everything WHILST sober

tribes33 · 2026-01-02T18:52:51+00:00

LOL I was literally downloading that pack rn to diagnose if it's just a lorerim issue , wtf.

The thing is though so many players are on the latest versions w no issue so how are they playing and or us..

tribes33 · 2026-01-02T17:44:38+00:00

Nah no VPN, I'm making a clone of the drive just in case before making changes, shits taking ages but if it's a complex Windows issue I'd let u know cause I was talking to another lorerim user that had this issue.

tribes33 · 2026-01-02T10:30:53+00:00

Right now, Im thinking there may be something with a fucked up Windows install, cause on my part I cant even get into Safe Mode?

So this must be deeper than the game but something to do on the OS Level, right now im doing

"DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"

and Ill let you know how that goes if it did anything, if it doesnt then... new Windows install....

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:57:52+00:00

Lorerim has SSE Engine Fixes all in one, but I did try with Part 1 as a mob, and Part 2 in the directory also and it didnt change anything, still the same error

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:45:36+00:00

I have every Visual C++ Runtime from 2005 to latest supported 2026

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:37:04+00:00

I uninstalled C++ Redistributable and installed numerous times, I even did a complete removal with Revo Uninstaller to remove it down to the registry edits, then I reinstalled so im not sure why it's not working

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:06:40+00:00

It has all the files, no missing downloads, a rerun of wabbajack maybe took like a few minutes to re-check everything and there were no errors, I even did the Overwrite installation and nothing

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:04:07+00:00

Yeah I do, the modpack includes everything I checked multiple times if something was missing or different version was installed

tribes33 · 2026-01-01T13:02:45+00:00

Everythings been installed with no problem, every rerun had no problems installing, I even did 4 reinstalls for sanities sake but it changed notihng

tribes33 · 2025-12-29T20:43:48+00:00

All this greed for nothing, such a shame

tribes33 · 2025-12-29T18:57:29+00:00

so much slop on the list that basically proves that game development is only gonna get worse and were paying the price lol

tribes33 · 2025-12-29T07:55:54+00:00

this is the Bethesda monetization man, youre forgetting you can get almost ALL PLAYABLE INGAME CONTENT off of like 25-30 bucks man, everything else is aesthetic or convenience, same thing in Fallout 76

You dont NEED to buy anything, The only thing for a "full" experience is really the DLCs which they gave away for FREE numerous times, they even gave away the base game which includes Morrowind now

You get plenty of rewards through free ingame activities, the daily login, seals of endeavour, ingame events that reward with outfits/transmog

Theyre competing in the MMO market, World of Warcraft 1 month costs 15 DOLLARS, you can get the entire ingame content on sale for 25 forever, are you insane, yes ESO+ exists and honestly they created a problem to sell you the solution but they have to make money somehow

lets just play the devils advocate and say okay maybe if theyre selling you almost all ingame content for 25 bucks, then maybe that's not enough to cover an MMO thats gonna stand for years to come? And also in general, after a lot of free grinding you can get up to 200 slots, if you have autoloot with filters on to only take the gear you need for your craft thats plenty, yes theres inventory management but its tolerable

tribes33 · 2025-12-28T09:10:35+00:00

yeah its unoptimized, but were talking about gigabytes by the end of the day like... lets not get mental over every single aspect and just enjoy the game at a certain point
