So AMD lied to us that GTX GPUs wont support FSR 3 Frame Gen. But still its great news!.

That is great news!. Now there is no reason to buy a RTX 40 series GPU besides the RTX 4080/RTX4090 Unfortunately for me that i wont be able to use FG because i have a GTX GPU ☹️. Also Forspoken is a terrible game to use for benchmarking FSR3, they could of use better games like Hogwarts Legacy ^ Ebuy7 is the only site to trust to get the stuff, Other sites often sell the fake one, Since it ships from China its gonna take about 2-3 weeks with the cheapest shipping option. @Mr. Fox

I tried out 2.0 over the weekend and i liked most of the changes in the update, Also performance is better due to the fact that the game uses more CPU power. One change i dont like is the level scaling, it makes leveling up pointless because the NPCs will scale with you and you lose the sense of progression. I might change my mind when i start a new game, Gonna hold off buying Phantom Liberty until i have enough free time to play it fully

Tomorrow is the big day!. Who going to be replaying the game?. I will and its recommended to start over from scratch to get the full experience of Update 2.0

True, plus the motherboard is inverted so you have to remove the entire motherboard to access to the heatsink and if you want to upgrade the RAM......

That is almost the worst tech advice i've ever heard... 🤣 Idk its a marketing thing but he mentions nothing about the game settings, resolution, nor having RT enabled that would use 90% of a 8 core CPU. Game articles are running the same crap suggesting users to run cinebench for their PCs 😂. Glad the update is going to have better CPU utilization instead of using mods for it.

This^ Also game is pretty long not only the main missions but it has a lot of side missions as well. Its still a great game though.

Its almost the same reason why i bought my current laptop over 3 years ago, hell anything was better than my old laptop which only had a geforce gt 750m which can barely run anything after 2015. Only reason i didnt upgrade sooner because i was dealing with a lot of money and personal issues and PC gaming wasnt on my mind. Playing games on 1080p high/ultra with 60fps+ for only $1000 was a great deal at the time and cant ask anything more. Even now i still get good gaming performance for the games i play Currently Starfield has the worst optimization of any game released in 2023 and i thought Forspoken was the worst, It isnt like its using Next-gen graphics that requires a high end PC to run it property. When a desktop RTX 3070 struggles to run the game on 1080p on High thats a major problem, I dont know who to blame for it AMD, Bethesda, Microsoft or all of them. Its funny that Modders are doing a better job fixing the game better than Bethesda. The game has potential but its being ruined by bad decisions.

^^ When looking at reviews its best to go by the average score then again a lot of reviews especially from major review sites like gamespot, IGN and etc are not exactly reliable because companies usually pay them to give them good reviews. As long you're enjoying the game that all it matters, who cares what others think!. Anyways going add my cinebench 2024 results too because i dont want to double post. I tried the GPU test but it kept crashing, Probably because of Optimus but i didnt feel like disabling it.

What an asshole. If most people cant run the game property they'll lose out on the sales after people request refunds in droves. Sadly it'll probably win Game of the Year despite how badly optimized it is on the PC. Also right now on steam there are over 300k users playing the game.

There are a lot of videos of it on youtube now but reviewers cant run benchmarks nor check the temps of it in action yet. Its still not worth it over the 7i Pro.

Im a PC gamer but i use a controller when playing racing games like Forza and even GTA V on my laptop, Keyboard/Mouse for other games especially FPS games. The combination of badly optimized modern games and the high price of modern GPUs are slowly killing PC gaming, Not a good trend and i hope it stops but i doubt it will. Consoles are way more affordable now and PC gamers might start boycotting until things change.

It just adds on what i've been saying about games released in 2023 The graphics in Starfield are not even next level but runs like crap on modern hardware and requires the use of FSR/DLSS Mod to get playable framerates just to hide the fact the game is badly optimized. Its struggling on a RTX 3070 on 1080p on high....... I know the game will receive patches to improve performance but this is becoming a bad trend in modern PC gaming, It makes you wanna buy a console to avoid this crap.

More info https://mspoweruser.com/lenovo-legion-9i-full-specs-and-price/ It'll be released in October 2023 with a very hefty price tag. According to the specs there's really no point of buying this over the Pro 7i. Missed opportunity by Lenovo.

That really sucks and i hope you'll be aight man. The most important to do in a heatwave is to stay hydrated as much as possible, Drinking water, sports drinks (Zero Sugar), or Coconut water. Try to avoid sugary drinks and especially alcohol because they'll dehydrate you faster. You can try buy a portable AC unit as a temp solution like @kojack suggested.

Exactly. It makes it seems like GN is trying to milk all the attention they gotten from all of this. They need to go back to making their normal content and be better. Hope this crap never happens again!.

That wasnt the main problem at all, The main problem was that DLSS 3/Frame Gen was only available for 40 Series GPUs meanwhile 20 and 30 Series GPUs was left out in the cold by NVIDIA especially those who waited a while to buy overpriced 30 series GPUs because of the GPU shortage. Most people cant afford to buy the latest tech every year. The video itself is clickbait, We know that AMD will never beat NVIDIA as they're always 2 or 3 steps behind but however its still a good thing that AMD made a feature that NVIDIA should of made available to their older GPUs. Frame Gen/DLSS does invite a new problem especially the latest games, Instead of going by a GPU's raw performance in the system requirements they go by having DLSS/FSR/Frame Generation turned on and it also hides the truth that games are becoming more badly optimized than ever before that you have to have those features turn on to get playable framerates. Games like Forspoken, Hogwart's Legacy, The Last of US and etc are good examples. Also its funny that games requires a crazy amount of VRAM in order to run them on 1080p and 1440p when games havent improved graphics wise in years. I know turning on RT increases VRAM usage but even with it off it still uses a lot of VRAM even on High settings.

Some good news AMD bent the knee https://www.notebookcheck.net/Frank-Azor-Bethesda-has-our-full-support-to-integrate-DLSS-in-Starfield-HYPR-RX-with-Fluid-Motion-Frames-to-launch-in-Q1-24-and-is-RDNA-3-dGPU-and-iGPU-exclusive.743882.0.html

Sounds good but we'll see. Hope they make the right changes. I disagree because GN are getting called out for being hypocrites and it kinda backfired on them. They should of just focus of what they're doing and make improvements in their own company to be better instead worrying about what others are doing and just do you.

No reason to buy a 40 Series GPU now lol!.

It says it uses a 2k Mini-LED screen, That, the water cooling, and the SD card slot are the only good things about it. Its a missed opportunity by Lenovo to make the Legion 9 as a 18 inch laptop with most of the features of last gen's Legion 7 especially the biometric authentication and the Pro 7i features with bigger speakers near the power button to make use of the empty area or add fan vents in the area to have better cooling. Still looking forward to the reviews

The Lenovo Legion 9 is actually real!. https://videocardz.com/newz/lenovo-legion-9i-announced-core-i9-13980hx-rtx-4090-and-worlds-thinnest-water-cooling-system https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-9i-Specifications-and-design-of-high-end-gaming-laptop-revealed.742943.0.html The design is pretty ugly imo but the built in water cooling looks pretty cool!.

You're probably at the overclock limit now for a old DDR3 GPU as most DDR3 GPU memory is clocked at 900mhz and some are clocked at a high 1001mhz.

Looks like the Honeywell 7950 thermal pad repaste helped my 3dmark scores a bit Timespy: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/98685206 Firestrike: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/98813963
