You must not have seen Demolition Man.

I'm sure I've posted something every year since registering, but I don't post often, I mostly consume. I'm an active lurker, though. Hard to beat user ID 11!

If you can't stand Comic Sans and want to read the forums, you can use an extension like StyleBot, and add the following in the "Code" tab: *:not(i):not(.fa) { font-family: sans-serif !important; }

Having more than one gives them depth perception.

Sure, yeah, go enjoy Google. I’ll enjoy this.

Oh, yeah, I’m not saying it’s a difficult search, I’m just so impressed with how conversationally you can search and how well it understands the important parts of what is necessary to find what I’m looking for, in my casual phrasing.

I didn't even attempt to use Google, I binged it. That's the term now, right? Anyway, it was so much easier than trying to think of keywords to direct the search. I just ask it what I want. It's amazing. I know this was well covered on the WAN show, but... it's awesome.

2 digit member ID gang, checking in!

Fortunately, I bought from Microcenter, so I can return it if I have to. If the answer is simply "The XTX has transient spikes that necessitate a 1000w PSU, despite them claiming 850 is recommended", I can just upgrade my PSU, I suppose, instead of returning it. If I have to return it and then go with the Red Devil (the only other XTX I'm aware of them carrying right now), though, at $1100, I might as well go for the 4080, which is a bit unpalatable itself, but the sad reality of it is that nVidia stuff (and Intel, generally) just works, as much as I wanted to go with an all AMD build this time around.

What, specifically, is wrong with Lian Li PSUs? A compelling reason that isn’t anecdotal could convince me to get a different one.

I'm not quite sure what caused you to infer that I believed vysnc would force 165fps at all times. As I explained in my previous reply, I used it as a way to limit the frame rate. As a cap. In fact, at my settings, it runs about 90-110fps, and Freesync takes care of any tearing.

If I think power draw is a contributing factor (and I do), if for some reason the map causes some weird, unreasonably high frame rate, then vsync would be a good way to limit the frame rate, such that it would limit some power usage. I didn't want it to go above 165fps (and why would I?), I just wanted to see what the cause of the crash was when I was troubleshooting.

As best as I can? I’m running everything as stock, and I’ve run various benchmarks, with p95. The CP benchmark runs fine, even with RT. Nothing else is crashing, so far.

I just built a new computer with the following: 7600X 7900 XTX (PowerColor MBA reference) MSI B650I Edge Gaming Wifi G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Lian Li SP850 PSU Windows 11 with current updates Playing at 3440x1440 with HDR enabled on AW3423DWF vsync enabled at 165hz I don't know if this is a Cyberpunk issue (probably) or an AMD issue (also probably), but I suspect it's a bad thing from one, triggering a bad thing from another. If I have ray tracing on (I last tested using the RT Ultra preset), and I open the map in game, my PC will straight up power down. This does not happen if I have RT disabled. I can't turn it back on until I cycle the I/O switch on the PSU, leading me to believe it's some overcurrent/voltage protection being triggered. I've seen some posts from years ago about the map causing it to crash, but I find it really weird that the whole PC would just shut down. I have no idea what's happening technically, but I believe the game is breaking in some way that is causing it the GPU to do something that is causing it to draw too much power/current/voltage, etc. Has anyone experienced this before? I can reproduce it endlessly. I don't particularly care about RT, but it's still...annoying, and I'm worried about damaging hardware.
