cusideabelincoln Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Gigabyte board just setting the SoC voltage to whatever the hell it wants if you try to do any memory tweaking. At least it actually loads the proper default settings when you reset CMOS, unlike the broken Asus boards. But overall it seems AM5 is just buggy. Anyone with AM5 should double check their voltages with the free app HWINFO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the newest ASUS bios fixed it, but I have no way of confirming and will 100000% be skipping the 7000 CPU series despite being tempted to yolo a cpu/mobo/ddr5 purchase at least once/week. If I go AMD for my next cpu, it’s going to be the 9000 series (assuming that 8000 will be laptop like the 6000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ms take over double the time to render meaning if you can have 1000 textures now you can only have ~450. It would probably be a trade off using it for close up materials and dropping the render method for vistas and mid ground elements. That what you'd end up with about 750-800 of the 1000. For comparison, for current gen consoles an env budget is roughly 13ms, if one texture takes 1.12ms to render that's pretty damn expensive. But perhaps the info on the screenshot isn't sufficient. Edit: skimmed the article, everything I say above confirmed - people will just use this for a few select surfaces Where I would love to see improvements is texture layering with a color mask at runtime. All this other stuff is sorta bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s annoying me is ram is dirt cheap to buy again but they are still massively overpricing laptops with 32gb of ram. I want new employees to get laptops with 32gb of ram so they last longer and because people are horrible at tab management and run through 16gb easily but it always prices it up so much and there just aren’t a lot of them still.

AbsolutSurgen Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 PC component sales (and computers) are down about 30% this year, so the premium prices from the pandemic will begin to go away. My work laptop usage is pretty minor compared to the engineers at my company, who are running CAD. I am fine with 16GB for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sort of like how we buy high end gaming pcs to compensate for poorly optimized games, I like 32gb laptops in 2023 to compensate for poorly optimized people! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah on small sizes a little makes a big difference and I’m just used to 7” now from both switch oled and steam deck. Also I think it’s just the aspect ratio too, the screen just seems a lot smaller than the deck, I think because there’s a lot of lost vertical space.

Spork3245 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 The burning/bubbling/exploding AM5 issue is fixed across all platforms to my knowledge via newest BIOS. ASUS decided to be scummy AF and release it as a "beta BIOS" first and if you installed this "beta" they claim you voided your warranty. Get fucked ASUS. MSI has a corsair RGB pin on most of their mobos now - it's not as simple as ASUS as it takes up one of the spots on a lighting node, but F, I don't know if I'll go with ASUS again tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Asus most definitely spends their money sending free products to tech reviewers and influencers instead of hiring some competent software engineers. Almost every YouTube build video I come across uses an Asus board because it was given to them. Their mobo\RGB software Armory Crate is the worst thing I've ever installed and it never got better with any updates; and it is definitely the reason I will not buy an Asus board in the future.
