Some of this sounds like issues with Japanese Playstation ports, which have always been notoriously janky. First, verify none of these games are using FSR by default. With any of those Japanese games developed for the PS5, I wouldn't put it past them to not bother checking. Second, verify all those games are hitting at least 60 fps. The NVIDIA control panel has an overlay you can add to any game to check the frame rate. While the 3070 Ti is a very good GPU, most games can still be cranked up to the point where it's not hitting high frame rates.
Well in Tekken 8 I changed the upscaler from TSR (Don't even know what that is) to DLSS Quality and it solved basically all the smearing the game had on some stages and surfaces, now I'm gonna try messing around in the Total War games and see if with a higher fps I get less ghosting. I still need to try RDR2 tho, that game is super gpu intensive.
 
I installed Robocop and while it's fun, this is the first time I've ever seen smearing in a game that noticeable (it was during the opening cinematics). I turned off some settings and fixed it, but holy shit what an ugly result. I don't know why the game defaulted to whatever generation bullshit it was pulling to make that mess and I hope I never see something like that again. It reminded me of whenever SCTV swept a shot over some studio lights.

FSR is AMD's upscaling method. It uses heuristics based on the current frame and its motion vectors to reconstruct pixels. DLSS is NVIDIA's upscaling method. It uses AI inferencing based on the current frame and its motion vectors to reconstruct pixels. The second method has been found over and over to produce much less in the way of ghosting and blurriness.
 
Anyone seen any PC Monstrosities lately? Something that looks like God didn't want it to happen, but it's going to burn a house down anyway? I'll go first.

So after my last post people where pointing out that the 7900xtx would draw too much power and may cause issues so I went to my local store and returned the 7900xtx.

People where also pointing out why I’d keep the plastic wrapper on my gpu but the main reason is in case I don’t like the gpu I can send it back in the original state like my other 12 GPUs I had over the past year that’s also why I like mounting my GPUs on top that makes hotswapping GPUs much easier.

so yeah the sketchy 8 pin splitter is gone so I’m running the 2x8pin from the be quiet psu inside the case and the sketchy old looking one is powering the rest of the system so the gpu has it’s own psu. Both psus are synced with a 24 pin adapter cable which only tells the second pay to power on when my pc is running.

schizotech3 reminds me of Salvador Dali. And wow, SODIMM to DIMM adapters, for a measly 24 GB even. Forget PSUs, let's see Niggalink and the Fent Reactor.


Bro said TSR, not FSR.

So he did. The way it works sounds a lot like FSR. But this raises the question of why they wasted any time whatsoever on developing this when AMD makes FSR freely available?
 
RAM is already one of the cheapest parts of a build. I can't imagine this saves money if at all. Why would anyone do this?

Just for show laptop ram is cheaper than desktop so I threw it into the system

I've seen someone say they did it with cheap OEM laptop DDR4 (they might have had for "free"), even overclocked massively to a reasonable speed.

Adapters seem to be as low as $5/each on ebay/aliexpress, so a particularly good SODIMM kit deal for a large capacity (e.g. 64+ GB) might be cheaper than buying a desktop kit even with 2 or 4 adapters factored in. But that is severe penny pinching, and I think the slick move is shifting SODIMM memory from mini-PCs/laptops you don't use anymore onto standard desktop motherboards.

TSR is the best aa option in tekken 8. Still blurry and some ghosting but no artificing and closest to native that you can get. I tried the dlss transformer model back wehn i had my 3080 but there was weird artifacting on one of the stages that uses a stained glass effect no ghosting tho. I guess they realized that fsr was ass and dlss wasn't perfect so they left the other options in. There's also taa in the game but the ghosting is noticeably worse than tsr.

Feels like something Big Lenny(RIP) would build, it’s definitely not cookie cutter.

So the answer is somebody at Epic said, "lmao, how is FSR this fucking bad, I can make a way better version."
 
AMD reportedly preparing Radeon RX 9070 GRE

AMD might do a Golden Ricer Edition of the 9070 series. The 9070 non-XT is barely cut down and easy to overclock, so this is their chance to really take an axe to Navi 48, maybe even bumping it down to 192-bit, 12 GB. China-focused but global launch possible.

Many of the Nintendo Switch 2 specs aren't official, but they gave it a 120 Hz 1080p display with VRR, and at least some games will reach that frame rate.
