Ah yes, so you mean that DLSS 3 would be able to iron out fluctuating FPS? So if the target is for example 120fps and for some reason without DLSS you would see FPS dropping to like 100fps every now and then, DLSS3 could then step in and bump FPS back up to 120 with it's trickery? That actually sounds like a valid use case and could see it being a nice-to-have feature for those that would own a 40-series GPU. Wouldn't value it too high though thanks to VRR smoothing the image anyway when FPS is jumping around a bit. And it's also not how Nvidia themselves used it to market the new graphics cards

But in this case the frames don't come from game engine but from the GPU or driver or whatever. DLSS 1 and 2 were huge improvements because they were just fancy upscaling and your "underpowered" GPU could render frames in much lower resolution which meant higher FPS. If I understood correctly, DLSS 3 takes one step further from there and it basically creates a new frame out of thin air based on predicted changes in pixels. So in this case you are able to see a greater value in FPS counter but it doesn't exactly feel like it. The question really is that how high base FPS do you need so that the game doesn't feel "off"? Is 40 enough? 60? 100? 20 for sure isn't and getting 30 or 40 fps just by generating "fake" frames in between the real ones is not going to enhance your input lag much. It remains to be seen for now.

I'd wager it's the same as it was in CPU space; AMD GPUs used to be so bad nobody cared about them and there was no point in buying them in any sense either. Now they are back in game again and could very well become relevant in GPU market especially now when Nvidia is screwing up with customers with their confusing naming schemes and bloated prices. Of course market share is not going to change overnight but right now AMD could compete with pricing quite easily. I'd say DLSS 3 is a gimmick and with the information we got in the keynote I feel like it's only going to work in cases where the frame rate was already good enough. You can't fix input lag by generating completely new frames out of thin air. So yes it might trick some customers shopping in the lower end of GPUs into choosing Nvidia (and maybe even paying a bit more) because of DLSS 3 marketing but overall it's not going to be that much of an advantage for Nvidia like DLSS 1 and 2 were against AMD. The bright side here is the fact that now at least I'm waiting for RDNA3 release date with much greater interest than I was just yesterday I have an RTX3090 but am in need of another high-end PC and it looks like I'm going to buy AMD this time around and see how they work nowadays. Last Radeon I had was an HD6950 so it's been a while...

The thing with security is, that you may have as many verification steps as you'd like but it's still possible to have ways to get around them. Security can be though of as an onion. It has many layers and authentication layer is only one of them. I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter also has limited the internal tools to their internal network but they may have some flaws in their VPN implementation or elsewhere. It'll be interesting to hear what was the main reason for this event because it might not have been only a simple authentication bypass.

I'm pretty sure they have all the steps in place, but security is a lot more than just a single password field. They most likely have had a bug in the system that the hackers could have exploited and therefore gained access to the tools. So they didn't store passwords in plaintext as someone would think but instead accidentally had a code line logging the passwords before encrypting and storing them in the database. That may happen after a long debugging session and others don't catch it in the code review for a reason of another.

I would start with 16Gb of RAM for now, and buy some more later when you have budget for that. Also just buy the cheapest sticks with the right specs and forget the RGB that you have in there Also buy the cheapest NVMe drive with necessary capacity and don't pay extra for Samsung branding. Even if there is a slight difference on paper you are not going to notice it in real life use. Same thing goes with power supply; paying 100e for a 550W PSU is just too much unless there are absolutely no cheaper options available currently. Corsair has cheaper options available as well, and with a tight budget, I would actually stick with a non-modular one and use the money where it really matters. I'm a web software developer myself as well and I just can't stress enough the importance of a good CPU. Although, lots of cores doesn't make sense if you aren't specifically developing multi-threaded server software, so I would probably in your case buy 3300X and source a cheap used GPU for getting the picture on the screen. 16Gb of RAM will be enough for pretty much all scenarios and it's really easy to expand later on if necessary. Just going from 32Gb to 16Gb of RAM enables you to buy either the cheapest new GPU there is available or buying a decent used one. Given all the other cost cuts you might even be able to buy some sort of GTX 1660 variant. Edit: Holy cow the 3300X is expensive right now. Given that, it might actually be wise to go with the 3400G and upgrade it immediately after Zen 3 launch. Edit 2: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/Cv6dRk this is what I came up with.

I would guess it's got something to do with optimization. Java is not known to be the most performant language to do any heavy calculations so that might just be it. I actually tried out the Minecraft RTX beta before seeing this video and... wow, just wow. It might just be what this game needed I don't care if the fps is now somewhere between 50-60 instead of 180-200 as long as I can see all these lovely light effects!

This. It doesn't take long to get used to it. Been there done it. I used to work summers in a grocery shop. After my second summer in there I was actually asked if I wanted to work there part-time while I was also studying and I said yes. That was a handy way to finance my hunger for computers, motorcycles and eventually cars I also like to think it gave me the right attitude towards working and it has most definitely helped me in a later life.

Oh yeah the auto voltages are probably the reason. I have set my voltage to 1.2V which dropped the temperatures down quite a lot.

Are you running stock settings? I've got H115i Pro with my 3700X and I've got idle temps hanging around 40c and under load depending on the load 65-77c. I made a mistake in installing the fans the wrong way around at first and the temps were much higher so maybe it's worth checking out.

I'm pretty sure the average user doesn't need to access their RAM or CPU all the time. In fact, unless you experience a relatively rare hardware fault, you might never even think of being able to take them out easily. I chose AIO to my current PC just because I was bored of always buying some good Noctua cooler and being happy with that

Wow, I wonder how this wasn’t already forced on Android. It might be my #1 feature I miss after moving to iOS out of curiosity a few months earlier. It’s weird how Apple still hasn’t figured out how to install updates without having to restart the device and having to wait 15-30 minutes.

Decided to join the folding team last Saturday and looks like I've managed to acquire quite a lot of points despite of all the server issues. It's nice to be able to use the gaming rig for something useful even when I'm not using it
