  1. Part 1 and 2 for Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay / Assault on Dark Athena
    Game Movies I made, I added extra darkness via lowering GAMMA values in Adobe Premiere.

    I wish there was more good Riddick content, the last movie was just fan service, I'd like another Riddick game to be honest.

  2. You didn't mention in all of that how the 13700K is in gaming at your workloads, no doubt it's doing fine right now, but the question is do you feel it is lacking with the settings YOU are using? It's easy to compare to new stuff and get giddy, and your CPU by the sounds hasn't had any of the issues, just that you are aware of them. What does your CPU have trouble with at the moment that dictates an upgrade is the best question. You know already you covered for a replacement if it has issues, which it currently doesn't and is perfectly fine for use. So if it was me (I understand we could be different) I'd just leave it as is until it actually starts struggling in a workload you need more out of.. You've likely solved any potential issue it could have with your undervolt as well.
  3. Hogwarts Legacy 1% lows in Hogsmeade

     on 7800X3D and RTX4080 Super

  4. 1440p High Refresh Horizon Zero Dawn Remastsred

     

  5. Anyone here old enough to have played this 20 year old game? Released in 2004, remastered in 2009 alongside Dark Athena the sequel.
    I played this at 5K 120Hz, captured at 4K, color graded it slightly in editing.

      I remeber buying a copy in late 2000s, it just didn't launch on the computer for sssome reason. It became a meme in the late 2010s on post-Soviet internet, as the "darkest game ever" (in terms of lighting), with people rating horror games lack of lightning by the "Riddick scale"

      Riddick scale is pretty appt, I like it.

  6. You could repaste the GPU and MAKE SURE the WHOLE DIE has coverage of thermal paste.. edge to edge. If the factory paste job isn't great (not uncommon) then you may find much better results. There is also the 'use a towel and clamp of some kind' method while rescrewing it back together to ensure it's as tight as possible. Your Temp/Hotspot is indeed fine, but if it worries you that much and you WANT to take it apart and repaste it, you can.
  7. Being a PC guy for most of my life I had skipped a few of the exclusives on other platforms.

    The Order 1886 was one of those PS4 games I'd always wanted to check out.
    It's ahead of it's time visually... here is a playlist (6 parts) of me playing it recently.
    Upscaled, even though it is post process heavy when it calms down it's nice and sharp.

     

  8. 5K  (5120x2880p Output)+ DLSS Quality MOD to replace FSR only game on my RTX4080 Super.

    Gsync + LowFramerateCompensation 45FPS CAP + Motionblur for that cinematic experience 🙂

    ^Playlist, Part 1+2 are already up, Finale Part 3 will be up tomorrow.

  9. Buy a 4080 or 4090 and if the 5080/5090 pleases you sell the old, buy the new. It's as simple as that when the new stuff isn't out yet and you want "the thing" before "the other thing" releases.
  10. It's likely that there will be graphical options that tax the best GPU of the time of release. aka 4090/5090 Way beyond the scope of what the consoles can do (Medium/High mixtures) with upscaling/dynamic resolution. Red Dead 2 (PC) port had options that crippled the latest and greatest, whether you want them or not is another story but you did say Ultra. Just use optimized settings focused on visuals with a fps boost. We don't know until it's out. But I'd hazard they are developing Ultra or Extreme settings with a RTX4090 in mind right now. Add in Raytracing on top (RTGI + Diffuse GI, Shadows, Reflections, Ambient Occlusion) and it could very well cripple the 4090 if they want, to make it have settings barely viable for the NEXT GPU's of release time. We just speculating but if you want GTA6 maxed out, just save up for a 4080 Super/4090 or if they are released.. 5070/5080/5090
  11. An increase is always nice. At some point you have to accept what you have, and enjoy it. Wouldn't stress about it, if temps are good and you are not seeing negative results, you are good.
  12. That's only 2 reasons I believe, the first one STATES that there are reasons that's all.. the two below are what trigger the first. You might have a Max Turbo limit due to the motherboard settings, it's likely only going to affect the top 100Mhz or so, not a big deal and when doing tasks it never actually stays at max turbo anyway. There are a LOT of turbo settings available to mess with, and if you've not messed with them, but overclocked anyway, you can be running into a limiter. If you Overclocked your allcore to 4.8Ghz, Did you DISABLE the TURBO mechanics for the allcore OC? or Did you just +1,+2 kind of thing to Turbo mechanics, which included Allcore with it? Both do and don't play a role with Intel power limits in the bios, and what you change for your overclock setting can override or not...other values depending on the board. Are you seeing negative performance vs stock settings as well?
  13. DLSS3 Frame generation will add a small VRAM increases to the total used. Something to factor into any Nvidia GPU purchase if you think you might use it in future.
  14. Your board could be running an older BIOS from months ago.. I'd update the board for enhanced memory compatibility. 4 sticks or two sticks?
  15. Most of the problems comes from running 4 sticks as opposed to 2 sticks. 4 sticks has more stress on the memory controller and training stability at startup, can lead to issues/errors. Motherboards that have been updated have had plenty of time to get things right when using 2 sticks. I literally a week ago built a 7800X3D build with 2x DDR5 6000 CL30 sticks on the MSI B650 Tomahawk board. The board BIOS was about 5 months old, but DDR5 6000 CL30 still worked out of the box on that version using XMP & EXPO variants in the menu's, rebooted and away I went... I also updated the bios for other things it listed in the notes...but that also posed zero problems. I know my sample size is just one, but the board makers have had plenty of time to get comparability sorted. It's running 4 sticks on the 4 slots that's the main issue for the higher speed ram kits from what I read prior to building and what people kept mentioning.
