Ultra is probably a higher clock.

If the room is air conditioned, try to bring the in room temp down to around 68-70. You’ll notice an immediate difference in fan usage is my guess. 73-75 ambient temp is pretty high for computing these days.

I think the thing that excites me the most about the Steam Deck is that if it’s successful we might be able to run a bit away from the “the neck snapping and the stabbing must be as realistic as possible, I want to have nightmares about it” and the “I bought a GPU for those cold winters, the AC wasn’t quite cutting it”.

9312

Well thats not good news for gamers… Better buy a card while (if) you can find one.

I wonder if my evga 3080ti is a LHR card, I don’t recall seeing it mentioned on the box.

9313

All 3070 and 3080 ti cards are LHR.

Reading the article, this appears to not actually unlock anything. It reads like it’s tuning the max hash rate to stay under the limiter.

9314

I think all cards are now except the 3090’s?

If I had a non LHR 3080 is it more valuable on the used market vs an LHR one?

9315

Correct, and yes it is.

9316

What? No mention of Intel officially getting into discrete graphics business?

Probably wise to wait and see until we get actual 3rd party benchmark.

9317

Hmm. So potentially a 200ish dollar uograde provided i find a 3080 ti at msrp. Might not be worth the hassle.

9318

I don’t have much faith in Intel. Look at their last two not-CPU marketing initiatives: Optane and Evo.

I defy you to name two more ineffectual product releases in the last 3 years.

9319

Their QLC SSDs were also kind of ineffectually marketed and priced.

9320

Intel is gonna have to undercut AMD and Nvidia to get market share. Well unless in 2022 the card shortage continues, then they’ll sell whatever they put out without issue.

9321

Definitely a brilliant time to get into the GPU game,

9322

Apparently Intel has their own DLSS solution

Certainly sounds promising. Unlike FSR it actually does reconstruction, and like FSR it isn’t proprietary and will be open-sourced. Remains to be seen if it’s actually any good.

9324

Nice name too. Easy to remember XeSS. It’s just SSeX spelled backward.

9325

Real question is if the XSX and XSS will support XeSS.

9326

And what about SSX 3?

9327

I hope that Intel has resources available to bringing aboard developers compared to how AMD hasn’t done a very good job so far. They did get a decent number of games aboard judging from the number of games that had the “AMD: Gaming Evolved” intros but never enough as Team Green.

9328

Well that’s true in general, but actually FSR is getting widespread support as it’s open-source and very easy to implement, if not particularly effective. It applies more to AMD getting games optimized for their hardware and releasing optimized drivers, where Nvidia dev relations does a much better job.
