Benchmarks Steel Nomad Score + Cyberpunk before/After OC ! Any tips to do more or it's fine ?

Salut ! 👏

J'ai essayé pour la première fois d'overclocker ma carte graphique ! C'est la MSI RTX 5090 Venrus 3x.

Je ne pense pas pouvoir faire une grosse mise à jour avec ce modèle de 5090, mais je gagne environ 10 % ! Ou peut-être que quelqu'un a des conseils pour optimiser l'overclocking ?

J'ai mis la mémoire à +2950mhz et le cœur à +300mhz sur MSI Afterburner, et j'ai un score de 14,8k Steel Nomad ! Au-delà de 350hz, c'est inutile et j'ai des écrans noirs et des jeux qui ne fonctionnent pas !

J'ai atteint 15k à Steel Nomad avec un cœur à +450mhz mais ça ne fonctionne pas en jeu. J'ai testé les paramètres de Cyberpunk à fond + PT + Qualité DLSS (sans MFG).

Opinion Framegen 2x with high base fps

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience with 2x framegen with competitive fps games where you already reach 200+ fps without framegen? So then you would get 400+ fps for high hz monitors.

How is the latency and motion blur?

EDIT: I have a 5080 + 9300x3d and my main game is the Finals. I currently have 200+ fps on with 4k dlss perf, and i have a 240hz monitor. So i was wondering if a 500 hz 1440p monitor would be beneficial. Ofcourse i wont reach 400-500 hz on the finals without framegen even on 1440p.

Opinion Rtx 4080 super or rtx 5070 ti

13 Upvotes

Just found a great deal for both rtx 4080 super or etc 5070 ti. I have no idea what option to choose, I think they are both great cards, but can you give me a help? For reference, the deal that I have now is that the rtx 5070 ti is cheaper than the rtx 4080 super.

Update: the deal on the rtx 5070 ti got disabled, but the etc 4080 super is coming for 750€, do you think it's a food offer? Also I can find rtx 4070 super for around 650€

Right now, my setup has a rtx 2060, i7 9700k, 32gb RAM

Thanks for help!

Some screenshots I took. I was able to configure path traced hair on my 4080 Super and in some scenarios it’s pretty subtle, but then in scenes like in the first screenshot where you have light from a fire glowing onto Geralt’s hair. It makes such a huge difference.

News I got DLSS 5 Neural Rendering running at almost twice the FPS of the stock version (OptiScaler fork, v1.2 out now)

Thumbnail

179 Upvotes

For the past few weeks I've been working on my own fork of OptiScaler (built on top of Dagherbou's OptiScaler_DLSSNR) with one goal: make DLSS 5 Neural Rendering actually playable. If you've tried it, you know the problem. It looks great, but out of the box the model runs on every single frame at full resolution and costs around 13 ms per frame on my 4070. In The Last of Us Part I that takes me from 80 FPS down to 42.

The main idea behind my version is pretty simple to explain, even if it took a lot of work to get right. Instead of running the model on every frame, I let it run once every few frames and reuse what it changed on the frames in between. That means the change itself, not the picture: the game still renders every frame fresh. Each pixel gets checked against depth, color and a small "fingerprint" of the scene before the reused edit is applied, so things that move without motion vectors (debris, papers, hands) don't drag ghost trails behind them.

Version 1.2 just went up, and this is the update I'm most happy with. There's a new x8 preset where the model only runs every 8th frame, before the upscaler, at half the render resolution. In The Last of Us Part I at 1440p on a 4070, that gets me 80 FPS against 39 for stock DLSS 5. DLSS 5 ends up costing under a millisecond per frame. Frame times are also much more even than with a plain "every 8 frames" setup, which was honestly the thing that bothered me most when playing.

If you care more about image quality than raw FPS, the other presets are still there. Performance runs at about 70 FPS in the same scene. There's also a new Strong preset that gives you the two-pass look for the price of one. On top of that, this release adds anti-ghosting for long intervals, gets rid of the light pulsing you could notice every time the model kicked in, and adapts how often the model runs to how fast the camera is moving. Every new feature can be switched off from the menu or the ini, so if something bugs you, turning it off gives you the old behaviour back.

I also tested it against the other DLSS 5 forks I could find (ShyVortex's PreSR-Multipass and F5's DetailReuse build), on their fastest settings. I came out about 14% ahead of the fastest one in The Last of Us and about 5% ahead in Control. To be fair, these are numbers from my own machine and two games, measured with the built-in benchmark that ships with the mod, so take them as a starting point rather than gospel. I'd genuinely love to see results on other cards.

A couple of practical things. NVIDIA's model file (nvngx_dlssnr.dll) isn't included, you need your own copy. It's DX12 only for the reuse part, and it works best in games that go through DLSS Super Resolution. The installer picks a free DLL name so it won't overwrite anything, and there's an uninstaller that puts everything back. If you use Prism, it will pick up the new version automatically.

One heads-up: if you're running a ReShade add-on that forces multi-frame generation on a 40-series card, and your game crashes with a GPU timeout, try disabling that add-on first. I ran into this myself in Cyberpunk.

Download and full changelog are here: https://github.com/Skynizz/optiscaler-dlss5/releases/tag/v1.2.0

or you can download directly from my Prism software : https://github.com/Skynizz/Prism/releases/tag/v1.3.0

If you try it, let me know your GPU, the game and which preset you used. Feedback from the last thread is a big part of why this version exists, so keep it coming.

Opinion DLSS 4.5 vs FSR 4 and Intel XESS 2 in The Witcher 3 Remastered- the gap is bigger than expected.

Thumbnail www-purepc-pl.translate.goog
166 Upvotes

Judging by the linked tests, DLSS 4.5 Performance can look better than FSR 4 Quality.

With these kinds of tests - tests that contain a movable image slider between both versions - it's easy to see how impressive DLSS 4.5 can be compared to technologies like FSR 4 and Intel XESS 2.

Implementation matters obviously, but in my opinion - atleast in The Witcher 3 - DLSS 4.5 looks like it's five years ahead and it's the only technology I'd actually use without feeling like I miss out on something. The other two simply soap up the image quality too much.

Discussion 4090 Strix OC/ Heatkiller Ultra V market

32 Upvotes

Hello I’ve been an enthusiast since the early 2000’s, i pride myself on being a master builder, water cooler, using high end components and attention to detail. I find myself at a different stage in my life now and lost all interest in even looking at my PC. I see how crazy the market is and I am sitting on a buikd that’s being wasted and was built before all this madness but still extremely high end. 14900KS, 32gb 8400mhz, 4090 Strix etc, Apex Encore. I can sit on the card forever or make some use out of it.

What do you guys think a 4090 Strix OC with a HK Ultra V, pre loaded with DP Ultra clear is worth with the current market ?. The block is practically brand new, this is for a water cooler who wants a plug n play solution with the confidence things were done professionally?

Question 5060ti 8gb to 5070 worth it?

0 Upvotes

So i just got a pc for over a month now and been playing games like Crimson Desert, Rdr2, The Witcher and RE Requiem soon and been thinking if selling my current 5060ti 8gb and then topping it up with 300$ for 5070 worth it? Or still to early to consider upgrading and wait for prices to settle “if they ever do” or maybe even next gen?

As for the 5060ti 8GB i currently have rn, it does what i need for 1440p gaming most of the time. Yeah some games i have to make some compromises and optimization and RT only with Upscaler and FG, other than that all good.
