cusideabelincoln Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 For $700? 3090 isn't worth it unless you absolutely need the 24GB of memory for production. 4070 Ti just uses so much less power, produces less heat, and will have better driver support.

best3444 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So I got a new modem to increase wifi speed in my home. Well it has turned out the speed is even worse than it was previously. What's everyone's thoughts on WiFi Extender Signal Boosters? I can buy one on Amazon for $60 and have it shipped here tomorrow. What exactly do these entail for hookup?

You do have a router or you don’t have wifi. You likely have a modem/router combo. Is it through Xfinity still? They sell xfi repeaters which would probably be easiest to set up for that. Just don’t expect decent game streaming still unless the system providing content can be itself connected to ethernet. But something like xcloud could be feasible if you can get a good wifi going.

Interesting thing is I called them to troubleshoot this issue about an hour ago and now my connection is terrific? Maybe it just needed restarted?

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Nvidia DLSS 3.7 update arrives with more upscaling options WWW.PCGAMESN.COM Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling 3.7.0 is now available and appears to improve upscaled image quality in games, particularly in motion. Quote Features like Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction have tended to define major Nvidia DLSS updates, complete with large amounts of fanfare, but other updates arrive regularly too only with far less pomp. DLSS 3.7 is one such stealthy update, with early reports suggesting it could greatly improve upscaling quality thanks to a new preset. Despite Nvidia DLSS only being on the scene for the past five years, it’s hard to imagine what the best graphics cards in the GeForce lineup would look like without it. After all, even the mighty RTX 4090 needs a hand with ray tracing at 4K in more demanding games. As part of the latest version of its Streamline SDK, used by developers to more easily add upscalers like DLSS and FSR to their games, Nvidia has included updated versions of its Super Resolution and Frame Generation features. The most notable change, however, comes to the upscaler, which now rocks a new preset. This preset refers to the render preset, or model, that developers can choose to use in their games, rather than the quality options we’re used to seeing in graphics menus. Dubbed ‘Eager Donkey’, this is now the default selection for titles using DLSS 3.7.0, and early testing indicates it could be a large improvement. Reddit user Yakumo_unr claims that injecting the DLSS 3.7.0 dll files into Horizon: Forbidden West nets average frame rates that are “quite a bit higher”, running the game on a GeForce RTX 4090, with its highest settings, at 1440p. Better still, other users highlight that DLSS 3.7.0 has “the best motion clarity so far” with less noticeable smearing and artefacts. This isn’t limited to Forbidden West either, with reports of improvements to Watch Dogs: Legion too. However, results will naturally vary given the lack of official developer input, with Cyberpunk 2077 reportedly running worse and Portal RTX freezing altogether using DLSS 3.7.0 in place of their existing dll files. It’s unclear how quickly we can expect to see DLSS 3.7.0 pop up in games, but you can download the latest versions of DLSS and Frame Generation over on Github, if you fancy slapping the new dlls into games for yourself for now.

best3444 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just an update on my connection. Every once in a while I have to turn off Wi-Fi on my phone then turn it back on after a minute or so. Then magically everything works great. But for instance, if I charge my phone and then use it later nothing will load until I do what I said above. My download speeds have been better too.

Remarkableriots Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Any suggestions for a microphone with noise-canceling for laptop? I don't have much to spend on it, so hopefully something cheap will last awhile if possible. I like the headphones I have, but the mic is on the cord, and it hasn't been working.

Given your Budget, I would just pick something on Amazon with a lot of high reviews. The difference between any choice is unlikely to mean much. You could just splurge and buy a Neumann M 149 tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d recommend trying it again and troubleshoot your mic settings in the windows sound manager (or whatever it’s called) before buying a new mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
