Alright, fair enough. The brand new AAA graphical showcase doesn’t run above 40FPS if you’re insistent on native 4K from a 6800XT. I’m not sure that qualifies as “runs like ass” like your original comment, but it’s a fine thing to qualify.
I will add however that there’s no mention of XeSS issues on the “known issues” page, so I’m unsure what you’re referring to. Only an issue with FSR frame generation and manual window resizing, and frankly I wouldn’t recommend frame generation in any circumstance anyway. Perhaps the issue you’re referring to has already been resolved?

… am I supposed to be impressed by that?
It’s better than you’re getting on the tier-down card from the exact same generation as what you’re running, so… it pretty clearly indicates something is going wrong on your end.
And that’s with the forced ray tracing. Regarding FSR, DF recommends using XeSS, which I’ve had no problems with even using performance mode to play on a 4K display.
It’s only really fair to judge the performance cost of the ray tracing if you’re actually running the game fairly. If you’ve maxed out every setting to ultra nightmare at native 4K or something to get that “can’t even hit 40FPS” figure, then I have no sympathy for you or your performance complaints.
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 4 weeks ago:
I think you may want to look into DF’s recommended settings, touching base with my friend who I sold my previous 6700XT to, he reports a rock solid 60.
That said, they don’t claim a performance increase that drastic, you may have some other performance issues?
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 4 weeks ago:
Dude, what are you on about? Sure, it’s not as easy to run at 300 FPS, but it’s a new boundary pushing game and for what it’s doing it runs astoundingly well.
Absolutely gorgeous, and must rely on black magic because even DF reports it never has any stutter, traversal or shader, despite having massive levels with ridiculous fidelity and not even having a shader compilation step. Hell, I can’t even understand how they got Denuvo to not introduce stutter.
Not to mention it’s somehow fairly light on the CPU despite huge enemy counts with good AI, raytracing, the best destruction physics I’ve seen in ages, and the streaming demands of massive levels. I’m completely GPU limited with a decent CPU and a 7900XTX.
Hell, it even hits 60 on consoles while doing all of this, the game’s performance is witchcraft. Eager to see the path tracing and how far we’ll be able to push this game a decade from now, like how I can run Eternal at native 4K/120 now.

Haha, I think they should have made that option 0%, to further the paradox
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 1 month ago:
I’m not certain, I think it’s an infinite loop.
I.E. If the answer is 25%, you have a 50% chance, if the answer is 50%, you have a 25% chance, if the answer is 25%, you have a 50% chance…

Drives me crazy how many churches still manage to conclude that drinking is an outright sin. Like… forget the conversations we can have about the particulars of drunkenness versus drinking, how did we ever get past Jesus turning water into wine to believe this was a sin in the first place?
You have to jump through so many hoops of ignoring the obvious in scripture to even begin to argue for it, and yet it’s a widespread belief.
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 5 months ago:
Politely, no one asked? OP asked a direct question, I’m doing my best to answer it, and you’re… dunking on me about a point nobody was talking about?
At best, this is an odd non-sequitur. At worst, it’s toxic behaviour meant to shut down any discussion about a topic you personally dislike.
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 5 months ago:
I’m assuming you’re looking for a basic answer from Christianity. In that case, the TL;DR is that Humans are created in God’s image. We’re endowed with God’s emotions, not the other way around, and emotions aren’t necessarily bad, they’re just corrupted in us by sin.
God experiences all kinds of emotions, he is “jealous” for us, he’s also depicted as sad or angry in many cases. Even Jesus, a “perfect man without sin” feels anger and flips the tables of a synagogue when he sees people turning that religious practice into a corrupt business.
So a religious answer to “shouldn’t God be beyond human emotions?” would be that emotions aren’t inherently bad. We should be angered by injustice, for example. Emotions can be bad, if you let them control you and fly into a rage for selfish reasons, for example, but they don’t have to be bad.
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 7 months ago:
Yeah, definitely hoping they consider bringing that to windows at some point, because it could be incredible. Obviously ultra-complicated, but it works unbelievably well on Series X. Being able to say, skip the loading of an emulator and hop directly back into the middle of a level in Demon Souls, jumping past all the logos and whatnot, would be amazing.
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 7 months ago:
Man, I’ve been console for ages, but this January I bought a gaming PC and hooked it up as my dedicated console, and it’s been amazing. If you like a bit of tinkering, PC can dominate as a console.
- Playnite makes an amazing front end, stitching together everything my PC can do. Emulators, Steam, itch.io stuff, GoG and Epic and Xbox Game Pass, all seamlessly stitched together and 100% controller accessible.
- Emulators are fantastic, my PC plays Switch, PS3, Wii, everything.
- Real settings are a godsend, as is more powerful hardware. Actually play Elden Ring at a proper framerate. Play old games in true 4K/120.
- Tinker like crazy. Mods, ReShade, actual in-game settings, GPU Driver settings, if it bugs you, you can do something about it. Currently messing with emulating Demon Souls with ReShade, some mods, and connecting to RPCN for online multiplayer, and it’s a delight.
- More powerful hardware too. Great to be able to push games past console, in whatever way you prefer.
- Heck, even sharing features. My GPU can save 5 minutes or more of instant replay clips, which I used to save all of my Elden Ring boss fights, just hitting a controller shortcut when I killed the boss. My PC shares those via FTP, so I can just grab those on my phone and upload them to YouTube. Faster than Xbox uploads, and actually my files, with no arbitrary storage cutoff like I hit on Xbox.
Basically the only thing I miss is Xbox’s Quick Resume, or suspending a game on Switch. But a good PC fires up games fast, so it’s really not a huge loss in the face of all the benefits.
- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 8 months ago:
Shame that option #2 has these downsides. Personally, I’d probably prefer #2, and to live with some broken images.
That said, lemm.ee is one of, if not the largest Lemmy instance, and has a certain responsibility to prioritize usability as a sort of “sane default” choice for many people looking into the fediverse. As such… yeah, I give it to option #3 here. If I (or others) was truly deeply moved by the privacy concern, there are an abundance of alternative options for that higher privacy standard, including full self-hosting.
- Comment on Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum 8 months ago:
100%. I literally bought Echoes of Wisdom on Switch day one, dumped it, and played it in Ryujinx, installing mods to increase settings.
I have the money, and am willing to part with it, but prefer a PC Quality experience. Heck, I’d even pay more for a PC version that didn’t have shader stutter and had real PC options.
That said… I don’t expect it. Nintendo is very stuck in their ways, which has pros and cons. On the one hand, we’re getting good traditional game design, no layoffs, and no micro transactions, which is wonderful. On the other, we’re getting outdated hardware that’s just powerful enough to support their game design ideas (although we’re even seeing the cracks there now), and a diehard dedication to the old console exclusivity model.
- Comment on I didn't think I'd be doing this at my age. 8 months ago:
Dang, this full out fooled me. Concerning, I guess we’re here now. Lots to catch once you’re aware of it, but totally passed by me while scrolling, even as someone who’s well aware of AI Image Generation, even in an image that’s intentionally ridiculous.
- Comment on Anon tests a pilot's reflexes 1 year ago:
Yeah, my first thought as well was that “pulling up” would be pulling the steering wheel back, which wouldn’t do anything. Certainly wouldn’t swerve the car all the way off the road, you wouldn’t want to jerk a plane left or right in that scenario either.
So… definitely made up. But still an amusing greentext.
- Comment on FTC offers $25,000 prize for detecting AI-enabled voice cloning 1 year ago:
I’d be very surprised if anything functional actually comes out of this. Far more likely they get scammed out of the money by garbage like the current “AI writing detection” methods, with terrible success rates that cause more societal problems than they solve.
