Mix bag afaik. Like you only get global illumination with psycho mode.

Some ppl complained about the amd greyout.
I think its because of the rt presets simce its tied to various settings.

It's the true GSYNC hardware module and not those so called Compatibility stuff that makes the difference.

anyways 1920Mhz@0.9v is kinda the sweet spot. to get 230W~ draw and 5-10C temp drop.

Can really just follow and start with nrw's numbers and work your way up or down once you're familiar with it 

This guide is for 3080... if im not mistaken, 3070 usually can handle higher clocks at 0.9v so you can go experiment on the limits of your card for more performance or reduce the voltage by keeping at 1920mhz for even lower temps.

Cyberpunk 2077 is extremely life-like beautiful and a great demonstration of ray tracing

The best thing is it's not all forest and jungle again and again but a stunning, futuristic city
Something completely new   



Like man, it's so obvious when RT works and the world is just REAL 

RT and the crazily vast world make exploring the world so much fun and fascinating, even though a big part of the gameplay is pretty repetitive and UBISOFT
But my god, I'll confess if ubi starts making their games as detailed and decent as Cyberpunk 2077 Imma play the hell out of them
Night City is such a beautiful canvas to load all the contents on it, and CDPR sure loaded alot on it 

First thing first making the game looking so great is the RT reflection, man it's simply a different game WITHOUT RT REFLECTION
The world is DULL without RT reflection

Next, turning on RT lighting actually adds more shadows on top of RT shadows *im kinda becoming like digital foundry now haha*

ie. the main quest where Johnny brings you to Hotel Pistis Sophia, if you turn on RT lighting esp pyscho/GI you can see light diffuses through the windows and forms a beautiful, nostalgic atmosphere
If you turn off RT lighting the shadow from the window simply disappears and it's a normal hotel room instead of a beautiful backdrop to tell Johnny's story



Parts like these really add to the story-telling and atmosphere and make me understand why most angry players are angry: they simply aren't playing the same game as we do

which is sad but also fuck yeah, PCMR 
I can say getting the 3080 is worth just for this game, the other games now all feel last gen esp ubicraps
RDR2 is still beautiful, but on the 3080 it runs pretty much like it did on my Xbox One X which is kinda the same case with HZD, DS and other console exclusives

p/s: pardon me for no more screenshots cause I mainly play the game in HDR and all me screenshots are gray-ish shots lmao

It certainly a technical piece compared to Control which looks only "reflective" in the pyramid maze or ghostrunner which everything looks ultra "oily'

This feels realistic and really adds to the mood of the surroundings

If you read the comments on Reddit and YouTube and etc, it seems ray tracing is now a political feature . Anyone who talks about ray tracing gets labelled as Nvidia paid shills, because AMD told them it's not important.

There are actually people with 100+ upvotes accusing Digital Foundry of being paid by NVIDIA for making too many ray tracing videos.

AMD and the other YouTubers laughing to the bank with the gaming community

In case someone gets offended, I'm not being very serious ^

thing about RT is, will other studios put as much effort as CDPR to make RT a reality?

I won't blame them cause tbf Cyberpunk is the first game where ray tracing on is REALLY NOTICEABLE and different than RT off

But now since they can experience it by themselves and the experience is not hard to come by, maybe they should play it before speaking nonsense

after all, RT and visual enhancements are perceivable easily unlike audiophile snake oil unless the person is blind 

Why so many people complain 3080 hot?

My temp never exceeded 60 Celsius gaming in an aircon room

Using mesh case though

That price is already very tempting to begin with.
Until they realize how much that thing cost in the US alone
American s are paying more for it than we do in MY

There's no point in explaining it.....to ppl
They don't use 10900 k
They don't know it's actually doesn't run really hot during normal gaming
They don't know it's even cooler than zen 3 at idle n light loads
They rely on reviewers data to compare
And thanks to sham, octvb extract last inch of performance

thats y. as i mention. banyak orang dunno.
cause reviewer dumbo.

what octvb is
i am 5.3ghz 125w stock intel. idle 1amp 0.8w.

its gone far beyond what u guys think oc is.

heck if i wanted can go 5.5ghz on single or few threads u dont need a golden cpu.

only asus mobo fully supports it. also asus has sma on da board.
its insane if u know what z490 asus does.
on z590 i guess everybody will know with rocketlake.

Hard data is how you compare.

I won't use 10900K because

Hot (Cooling requirements)
It will make my place hot (air cond is only last resort)
No PCIE 4.0
Huge power consumption
Z490 is more "expensive"
Security issue over and over again

Also, extreme OC does not apply to everyone. Just wait for Rocket which is still 14nm. It's not a long wait.

I will give Intel a shot when they have 7nm.

Lol apa tu

Since when gaming become deep physics need to care about heat output?

Enlighten me pls sifu

will tell u before march 😏😏😏. if it shit its shit. if its good its good.

it took amd 7nm to fight a 14nm cpu. and its not even 100% stable in their die fab. rma cpu in 2020 is a ridonkolous notion.

love for blower card?  i do love the position of the power socket
https://www.neowin.net/news/asus-launches-r...designed-blower
ASUS launches RTX 3070 Turbo card with a redesigned blower

These two points are right.

When Ivy Bridge came out, lots of people misread review data and complained, "this CPU is hot, stick to Sandy Bridge". Still went with a 3770K. Sure, Ivy's temps were hotter indeed due to the smaller, denser die size - but still generated less overall heat than Sandy Bridge. Add native USB3 support (SB's biggest issue) and it's a nobrainer to go for Ivy - only reason to stick to Sandy was to try and shoot for 4.8GHz++ stable allcore.

Same like people saying the R9 290X ran super hot - RTX 3080 is actually hotter, just because one GPU is designed to run at 90C doesn't make the 80C one less of a heat generator. The 6800XT at ~295W or so (ref design) isn't too far behind.
I recognize where Comet Lake is better than Ryzen. The pros don't circumvent the cons.

I already have a RTX 3080 dumping lots of heat into a room without 24/7 air conditioning. The last thing I need is a CPU running at 140W or more while gaming. Ryzen running hotter at close to idle isn't a big issue as it is when stressed. When given the choice between CPU or GPU as a heat monster, I'll pick the graphics card every time. Not going to bother with trying to balance thermals between two power hungry chips in a compact ITX case anyway.

Maybe when Alder Lake ships I might reconsider Intel CPUs, and even then it's subject to performance vs whatever is on Socket AM5 then.

to be fair, Ive personally never face bsods on my intel rigs unless bad sector related or due to hardware failure. Not like this kind of random corruption errors, hardware detection and compatibility bugs that i face on ryzen... which is getting quite annoying as ive changed alot of hardwares to isolate the problem. 2cpus, 3PSUs, 4GPUs, 4ssds, 3 rams and currently on the second mobo. Fresh install windows many times. The problems still happens so I can somewhat conclude it to be a ryzen platform issue. 

Intel problems apart from the security breach which is fixed but suffer some slight performance loss, I cant think of any that is isnt spec related.

Performance is good but with all these random headaches so my experience is rather bittersweet. And all the money spent to just live with the issues.

Ryzen 1000 and 2000 series gain supporters due to their good performance with low price vs intel jacked up price and gimped CPU. How many years we only can get 4 cores 4 treads unless willing to pay premium lmao

Now the roles are reversed, AMD jacking up price because intel can't compete. If this continue AMD going to start gimping their CPU. intel is no saint, they reduce price because can't take the heat.

Being fucked up by these companies (and AIB in case of GPU) are bad enough but being defended by stupid and delusional fanboys just make it worse.

the other issue now is youtuber influence.
u CANNOT call them out.

ocn etc gn/hardwareunbox/buildzoid  fantarda all come out.

these three are the most arrogant sekf entitled noob geeks ever. i would slap 3 of them if they ever cross my path. a day jail time for assault is worth it

i see one of them teaching how to gain ram performance on a gigabyte thinking it’s some ram setting page which i am looking for......... and it’s just a 10minute garbage saying how to set XMP wtffffffff. and another just OC with most things set to auto except voltage.

when i personally found the actual page with full control where all the primary and secondary timming shown are all in hexadecimals .. i dont see any of them mentioning about that page. And that page is heavenly... the complex and very detailed bios reminds me of why i liked gigabyte mobos.

And the mlcc saga. Is yet another copy and paste from all of them without proper understanding of what was the actual cause of the crashes and the difference between both capacitors that causes the behaviors.. and also a simple solution of using psu with low ripples and the importance on running at certain loads for higher effeciency that could solve the whole drama even for zotac users was never mentioned by them.

And the biggest irony... None of then mentioned about the need of good PSU and the load effeciency but rather even tried to assure users that a 650w is sufficient.

of course they are not gonna mention psu. they been telling buyers for years 550w is sufficient and 650w overkill for mainstream.

sometimes makes me wonder. since theres no public electrical spec of zen.. i wonder how many issues are actually some form of termination clash or loadline on handling transient.

just google any intel cpu and u will be armed with whats high/low, safe etc. from intel. not a yellow/purple/red font in bios.

to the point that they have to turn around, eat their words and start to develop along with microsoft’s directML which is literally DLSS eventho they just said DLSS is crap

but their hardware is not ready unlike the dedicated tensor cores (neural networks) readily available on the nvidias. Which could mean nvidia still way ahead as they can switch to DirectML if it gone mainstream while still maintaining better performance uplift by utilizing the tensor cores while current radeons need to sacrifice some compute units to run it and also being inefficient as it’s not designed to specifically calculate matrices.

Unlesss... amd also start adding neural network processors but nvidia is already on the third generation... long way to catchup.
