This might be because TPU tests at max settings, which presumably means MSAA x8. I'm not sure if there's any concrete documentation on this, but allegedly AMD dropped hardware support for MSAA x8 with RDNA 3 since not many modern games use it. Dropping to x4 should see the expected results.

I'd say AMD drivers are better than they're given credit for, but Nvidia still has the edge in terms of stability. I own a 5700 XT which used to be infamous for its driver issues, but it's been pretty solid for me. Once every few months I get the odd driver timeout or bug (for instance, the most...

Nah. FSR is MIT licensed, so anyone's free to do anything with it, including selling it. All they have to do is give credit to the original authors (in this case, AMD).

Nah, FM7 on PC is just completely broken. Three of my mates tried to play that game and it would crash constantly for all of them, despite seemingly being stable everywhere else. Both AMD & Nvidia GPUs, only thing in common is AMD CPUs. Some of those crashes were 100% reproducible as well, try...

I remember reading somewhere that this game was supposed to include FSR 3 at launch? Did that get scrapped or am I thinking of something else?

Nah, if anything CP2077 was a success. Why bother optimizing a game and getting it ready when you can just launch it in an unfinished state? All major retailers accepted refunds for CP2077 and yet a very tiny percentage of players returned it. FM is a first party title as well so 0% chance of it...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but it'd be really cool to get benchmarks of this game by TPU given how demanding it is and how comprehensive the reviews are here :) Then again, maybe a little more time is needed given how the game seems to be highly unstable and changing settings on...

Runs very badly, I think this is the worst performing game I've played so far for sure. Visuals are also unimpressive on "High", FH5 looks much better and I think in some scenes even FM7 looked better than this game, although I admit turning off RT probably doesn't help matters as it's a core...

I've currently settled on Fedora on my main machine, although I'm not the type to distro hop until I tune the system perfectly to my needs. It's been rock solid for me, Ubuntu always had the odd issue here & there and it's only gotten worse since snaps started being such a big focus. If you...

Is this the connector revision found on newer 4090s?

Gran Turismo 4 has to be the GOAT racing game. Such an insane amount of content, that game was years ahead of its time and in some ways unmatched even today. The licenses and driving missions are so perfectly challenging, they hit this sweet spot where they are hard enough to take hours to...

Yeah, it's this model.

I don't think that's the case (pun not intended), I spun the GPU fan with compressed air while it was out of the case and it made the noise.

I have good news and bad news. The good is that I managed to find to find what causes the noise. The bad is that it is the GPU. I started blowing compressed air into every fan in an attempt to make them spin, and I noticed that the GPU fan was making a noise identical to the one I was hearing. I...

Nah, that was the first thing I checked. All fans are clear of any cables. I removed the case fan and I can confirm it is NOT the source of the noise, so that leaves the three other fans in my system. When I have some more time I'll remove the GPU and see if the noise stops. I tried powering...
