@marienz:matrix.orgmarienzalso, system requirements for that game don't look that steep: with vsync / frame limiter there may just not be more work for the gpu to do (are you experiencing noticeable performance problems or just wanting to make sure you get full value from your GPU?)08:31:53
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbKinda latter. I did bump the graphics down from epic to high yesterday cause it was dropping frames08:33:07
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbShould try something much worse then, cyberpunk would do i assume08:33:38
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbYeah it just dipped down to 45 :/08:34:10
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbThough might just UE5 being shit dunno08:34:20
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbI wanted to test cyberpunk on this anyway, lets see08:35:39
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbThis testing is done on jovian btw, so i think radv08:37:30
@k900:0upti.meK900I bet you're CPU limited tbh08:51:41
@k900:0upti.meK900Look at per core utilization08:51:43
@k900:0upti.meK900Not just overall08:51:46
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIt doesnt go over 60%09:03:16
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIm looking at per core09:03:22
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbI DLed cyberpunk, lets see09:04:32
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbCyberpunk exhibits the same, 60-70% across all cpus, around 100W on the gpu09:12:21
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbBut it runs on rt: ultra at 1080p@6009:17:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Do you maybe have vsync/some sort of FPS limit on?09:29:42
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbI mean yes09:32:17
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIts capped to 60, now it does 4509:32:26
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbThe cpu is at 80% average09:32:33
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb 85% all core, im probably extremely cpu bottlenecked 09:33:16
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbLol okay, cpu bottleneck. Even on steam deck quality i dont get 60fps lmao09:46:25
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIg i have to buy a new cpu09:46:34
@marienz:matrix.orgmarienzOr monitor, if your goal is to make the GPU work harder (9070xt probably on the high end in most games at 1080p60)10:15:39
@marienz:matrix.orgmarienz(...to upgrade the CPU you'd end up having to upgrade the motherboard + RAM too, and esp. for RAM now is not a good time to upgrade price-wise)10:25:15
@marienz:matrix.orgmarienzno, I lie, 2600x is AM4, newer CPUs for that are still available10:27:01
@9lore:tchncs.de9lore5800X3D is still being produced iirc10:28:16
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbYeah i can go to 5000 series10:29:43
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIm on the second gen am4 cpus10:29:56
@marienz:matrix.orgmarienz(I have a 5900x (and 9070xt) but don't have either of the games you tested so I can't run comparisons of them for you. But if you're more interested in gaming performance than cpu-bound workloads that can make use of higher core counts a 5000-series x3d would make sense as an upgrade, assuming motherboard + BIOS support them which as far as I remember they should (might need a BIOS update first but that's not a big deal))10:32:15
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbI care also about workstation stuff10:32:45
