Should have it sometime next week. It’s really needed for the Starwars Outlaws game in some rare instances when outdoors. It is the most amazing game! Makes me think Ubisoft is back on top! They use to make the best games years ago. The older Far Cry games, older Assassins Creed games etc. And the. They started pushing out cookie cutter games in all sorts of Genres. These games were only good for one thing, launching the game, maxing it out, looking at the graphics, playing for about an hour, then immediately losing interest. Take a look at this video below. This title is a master piece to me. I can’t put it down. You are free to do whatever you please for the most part. The only thing I wish they would have incorporated was picking up bodies and hiding them lol. But the title is so amazing, I can easily look past that. This is only the beginning, Ubisoft can now fine tune this master piece in to whatever. Maybe with further updates, or releasing a 2nd one in the future. But this is the type of game we love. It has very small “rpg” hints to it, where your decision in game will have an outcome. It’s just a great game, all the fancy tech we want and pay for in our hardware is used in this title, and the 4090 runs it well! I was honestly not expecting this. I mean… Am I high right now or something? This is a really sweet game lol.

Guys and gals,I gotta say it Starwars Outlaws is one of the best games I have played in a few years now. I don’t know what to say.. Also, 3DMark Speedway, and 3Dmark Steel Nomad are using buildings and objects from this exact game it seems like. There are moments where I feel like I am walking through the steel Nomad Benchmark lol. Or riding on the Speedway motorcycle lol. Anyways, this game is worth the $70 bucks easily... Just wait until you get to the 1st world, and complete a few missions. I am absolutely blown away by this title. I have been playing it for about 6+ hours straight today, I stayed up until 4am playing it last night too. I haven’t done this in years. It’s better than Starfield, and better than Cyberpunk 2077 too. You get more and more freedom as you progress further in the game. I was not expecting this at all. And once you hit outer space for the first time after your ship is repaired you really realize how fantastic this title is. 🤯

The new Starwars game is absolutely awesome. I am not sure what these reviews may be going on about. But I will be the first to say all of the Starwars Jedi Survivor games before this were not entertaining to me. But this new game is awesome. I love the direction they are going. Real open world vibes, sneaking around enemies, multiple ways to proceed through a mission, there is a bartering system as well. Ubisoft is on the right path here, and they can make this series the greatest Starwars game ever. The last Starwars games were just a tunnel, and you proceeded down the path killing the same enemies, if you died or re-spawned, all over those enemies re-spawn again. It was just a very very limited feeling game. I am playing this one in my living room with a controller, and it's fantastic.

Star Wars outlaws runs AMAZING on day 1 launch! Full 4K tilt, the 4090 power doesn’t disappoint here. 4K Ultra everything, Motion blur on, film grain on, Nvidia RTX Direct Ray Traced lighting on Ultra, Ray Reconstruction ON, DLSS Quality+ FG. There were a couple of extra advanced graphical settings that I enabled or turned up, that aren’t enabled with the normal “Ultra” graphical pre-set. Still holding 82-90 fps. Very very smooth performance so far, with full overblown detail here. GPU usage is pegged to 100%. Not bad for a free game! The graphics are beautiful by the way! PS: The game is using 20GB of my GPU GDDR6X VRAM currently!! 😆 Absolutely BUTTER smooth though. Not a single skip/pop/stutter. 14900KS/DDR5 8600c36/4090 getting it done upload images

It was a free $70 dollar game. I can’t complain no matter how bad it is lol. Something to max the graphics on, something to poke around while I pout over Wukong Black Myth being to hard for me lol. I know one game that I just could not dig at all, and that was “Skull N Bones” another Ubisoft title. I didn’t see the appeal at all. So rushed. The character animations do like 3 things and they just repeat those over and over. It makes the game feel really cheap and rushed. 32 more minutes and StarWars Outlaws will be playable!

Very tough game. Mainly because I don’t typically play games like this. But I like this game! Normally my fighting skill in games is clicking one button to just “Hit!” “Hit!” “hit!” Rinse and repeat 😂 this ga e requires some defense, skill and patience, and strategy to make it through. PS: Starwars Outlaws playable tonight at 12am on Ubisoft Connect. 😎 Intel gave me the game for free. Thanks Intel!

I am stuck so hard in the Wukong Black Myth game. There is a boss fight that is nearly impossible to win. I have spent 4 days attempting to defeat this guy lol. I am going to have to put the game down. You must beat this Boss to proceed further in the game. Since I cannot defeat him, I cannot proceed. So, I feel like I am wasting my evenings for nothing 🤣Wukong is getting shelfed until further notice.

Windows 11 24H2 performs really well. I'm too obsessed with performance as is. What CPU are you using anyways?

My OS is getting a bit old as well. Mine is right at 8 months old. Probably dragging around a lot of extra processes and services.

@electrosoft Can you run this with your 7800X3D system? It is 720P Low Settings. Using Windows Update 24H2

The minimum FPS is better. I could never finish Heaven with 61.8 min before. The max is also slightly better. I ran this test a gazillion times before updating Windows 11, and I never could hold 60+ min through the entire test before. This test is great for checking your GPU OC is stable and smooth on the frame times. Because any overclock too high on the GPU, will harm your minimum frame rate in Heaven. So, if you have a low min FPS in Heaven benchmark, your GPU OC is too high for it to manage smooth frame times. Anyways, here is before and after. Same everything besides new windows update. Both are on bios Z790 Apex A04 (9901) 8600c36-49-49-49-63 (262k tREFI)

I have given up on it. I used to not update and stick to one old build. But it's always worse performance for me. I am going to test 24H2. I am going to assume it will probably provide a faster 14900KS. There is always a trade-off it seems.

I am seeing some nice gains on 23H2 and 24H2 for the Ryzen guys. So I am trying this with my 14900KS system now.

Yep absolutely! Plus you pretty much can’t kill one, so deleting and installing games is ideal. They can be written and erased. nearly and unlimited amount of times, it is exactly what they are designed for, handling some ridiculous amount of numbers and data in realtime all day long for 5+ years straight. They do use a lot of power compared to traditional storage. The P5800X uses about 20-25 watts of power. I have seen people use over 30 watts with a P5801X on the Chinese YouTube videos. They also get pretty warm when under load. Not like these little baby 2 watt M.2 drives we have 🤭

Honestly, even just a cheaper Optane 905P will probably fix it, people swear by them fixing the skips in games, just because how brutally fast that random access is and not relying on a cache to be fast. There is a video somewhere of a guy demonstrating this problem in “Kingdom Come deliverance” and some other game, one of the worst games for this loading issue. He was riding through on his horse and GPU usage was dropping like crazy using a regular M.2, while on the Optane it stayed steady and I think this was a much older Optane 900p, ever since seeing this I believed that it would fix the issue. I will order a 905p, and see if it fixes the problem. 😂 I’m going to just install the drive and copy the Black Myth game to it. Fingers crossed. I’m about 98% confident it won’t drop GPU usage anymore. If it does fix it with just a 905P which is only Gen3 NVME , I will dedicate getting a P5800X/P5801X (400/800gb) for just games I play 🙂 lol. Those are a little pricey though. But worth it if Xpoint really does resolve this.

Thats amazing. I’m going to repaste my 4090 now for sure. 🙂 Maybe it’ll help it with overclocks a bit. I notice sometimes OC may be bad when contact isn’t always perfect.

I received the Starwars Outlaws for free with my 14900KS, just waiting on its release! Wukong is really great though! Lots of detail, and it’s very fun, and super rewarding, you seriously appreciate the skills you work for that your human monkey receives lol . Put in about 2 hours and you get hooked. I am at 5.5 hours play time so far. Very fun!

Guys, WuKong combat is so CHALLENGING!!! Not the actual game getting from point A to B. But, just the combat in between. So challenging that when you actually do get past something you’re screaming YESSSS!!!! Yesss!!!! lol. Because your last 4 attempts failed miserably. Sometimes it takes reassigning all your skill points just to beat a boss. I’m genuinely surprised I’m even playing something like this. 🤣 but it’s entertaining. Give it a go @electrosoft

Yeah, I’m not that interested in gaming either. I want to be. But finding games that keep me engaged gets harder the older I get. But I have to keep trying. 🙂 Also, you need to try BeamNG. It’s amazing for those with little/no interest in gaming. Thats why I play, I don’t have the energy for anything other than driving backwards on the race track most days. 😂

99% of the time a mouse and keyboard is great, and I never advocate for a controller my self. But in racing games or sim racing like BeamNG/Forza we need fine throttle and clutch control. Unfortunately, our W button on the keyboard only has one mode for hitting the throttle at 0% gas or 100% gas (That’s how mine is anyways) When you want to rock crawl slowly up a hill without wheel spin on your big 44” tires that are almost completely flat with a V8 twin turbo truck in BeamNG, or drifting, or just general racing, it’s nice having variable throttle/clutch/steering inputs on an Xbox controller. But with this game the controller is only helpful for fighting. It’s a casual laid back experience for the most part, except for fighting a boss, then its edge of seat die over and over and over again until I finally beat the boss. While I understand how lethal mouse and keyboard can be, some games do not require aiming, if you just swing in the direction near an enemy, you’re in that hit box. Any game that requires aiming, you really need a mouse. If you played this, you’d know what I meant. It’s just easier. PS: I wish they made a keyboard with variable throttle. That would be cool! I play BeamNG all the time, and it is the best car game ever. It never gets old building a vehicle how you want, and then just doing whatever with it.

The Wukong black myth is really good. 2nd time playing. This game is very rewarding so far. And the animations are amazing! Also, I highly recommend playing with a Xbox or PS5 controller. As for having top end hardware or not, if you are getting even 28fps, it feels like 60fps with a controller. I think that’s how the majority of people play this title, and it is highly liked. Technically I’m supposed to be working right now 😈 but yeah I’m over here play’n lol.

Yeah, the problem is our random read/writes of even the fastest SSD drives available today, and our limited cache on them, once the cache is full the drives performance is done for, but mainly the random access or random streaming of data once the cache is full, the performance is comparable to that of a regular mechanical HDD read/write speeds. Maybe 70-150MBPS, whereas an Optane would still get like 800-900MBPS. Our consumer drives are crap 🥲 doesn’t need to be as fast as system ram for smooth experience though.

All of the people who swear by the Intel Optanes say it alleviates these issue when games do this. In game loading objects and dropping GPU usage. So I need to just get one already.

From the research I did on this, this is happening because of the random latency and access times of our modern Gen3/4/5 M.2 SSD’s. They are just terrible with random latency response times. I have seen that an Intel P5800X can completely alleviate the issue all together, which was why I kinda got all in to wanting to get one. But we’re talking about owning a crazy expensive 400GB/800GB Enterpise drives that would only hold a couple games and cost a lot of money.

Hey everyone, I bought Wukong Black-Myth. The game is great so far! Running fully maxed out, and it is a very engaging game. The Steam reviews sold me on it. Usually, games aren't reviewed this well at launch, the reviews are as steam says: "Overwhelmingly positive" But it is fun so far. Story seems great! The 4090 strong arms it so I average about 80+ FPS at 4K DLSS Quality+FG with Cinematic graphics. Barely touches the CPU. The game has an issues at times where GPU usage drops for no reason from 99% to 95%. I was walking one time and it hit 89% when it was rendering a boss in the background, makes no sense because I am 100% GPU limited here, and it's using 6-10% of my CPU lol. But most of the time it is 99% GPU usage. But when this happens the 1% lows tank for a moment. They need to fix that. But I am just being picky here.
