| More FSR / TAAU / DOF Testing with KingsHunt - Detailed IQ Testing with all FSR / TAAU levels Posted: 25 Jun 2021 11:20 PM PDT Hello, I made this post 2 days ago showing how Digital Foundries testing of KingsHunt was invalid. Alex did reply, but sadly he didn't actually update the article images to include fixed ones with DOF properly disabled, since it is disabled on his TAAU screenshots which makes the game look much better as depth of field, even when disabled in options, blurs out the character, especially the lace dress. I did make a mistake in my original post with the wrong scaling command for TAAU, which did make my resized TAAU incorrect (it was actually native rendering size) but the major bug being TAAU disables DOF was also validated when someone linked me to the developer of it on unreal forums: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/gen-5-temporal-anti-aliasing/152107/5 So big thank you to /u/TechTuts and /u/KeinZantezuken for that (and many others for their overall kind comments).
So basically its expected bug because if someone was using upscaling, they don't want a perf hit from DOF, at least when initially designed. Here are all of the images in one album: https://imgur.com/a/2tfolwa All screenshots are @ 3440x1440 with max settings except motion blur disabled and DOF disabled (though in game option doesn't actually disable it as you'll see). Commands used:
I didn't do all the TAAU w/DOF setting enabled since it doesn't make a difference when comparing 100% on vs off and would have just taken more time. As you can see there is no performance difference when disabling it vs disabling it for all other tests. I'd also bumped the mouse and had to re-position it and its slightly off for the last few TAAU tests and the bonus tests. And for a bonus I did renderScale 120 for FSR UQ and Native, I don't think it actually scaled properly but it did do the sharpening pass for FSR 120% FSR UQ: https://i.imgur.com/u6pC45n.jpg 120% Native: https://i.imgur.com/AIe7TYC.jpg From the performance being basically equal (it fluctuates few fps) I don't think the "UQ" part of FSR was applied at all, which would have scaled it down to 92% or so, so would want to test that in the future with a 100% FSR vs 100% Native as well. I'm glad games like DOTA are allowing users to pick the exact scaling values, excited to see more games integrate that, and hopefully a sharpening slider as well. Anyway, I hope this helps to clear up any misunderstandings from my first post. I had thrown in FSR / TAAU comparisons quickly but was mostly trying to point out that DOF was broken when TAAU was enabled. Unfortunately Digital Foundries while acknowledging that their testing was flawed, did not correct it, and even originally posted Godfall photos that were also flawed before people called them out on it on twitter. I hope Alex or someone else from Digital Foundries fully corrects the article with updated KingsHunt images and uploads a new video correcting it as well, DOF makes a massive difference in image quality in this game (no clue why the devs have the main character out of focus, their lace texture is ruined and it costs performance!). Another note regarding performance, that would need to be tested for longer, as there is quite a swing in fps while just standing still, the fire/wall effect on the left side of the screen is likely the cause as it is what is changing the most. So while FPS is displayed, it would need to be captured for a while and averaged out to really compare performance between any of the modes as it did swing +- 5-10fps or so.

| Will Microsoft Pluton (security chip equivalent) be integrated in AMD Ryzen 6000 and Intel 12 Gen Posted: 25 Jun 2021 11:39 PM PDT With the announcement of Windows 11, Microsoft has announced their commitment of doubling down on security by design. So will they encourage the chip makers to include the pluton security? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Comparison of typical high-end Nvidia cards for the past 10 years Posted: 25 Jun 2021 02:27 PM PDT Inspired by the post made by u/Vito_ponfe_Andariel, I decided to make my own visualization using slightly different data, so I'm sharing it now. Here are the decisions I made for this:
So, here are the graphs: Million transistors per dollar So in the $500~$700 range, Ampere has been a substantial increase in performance/$ and transistors/$, but improvements in performance/watt have stagnated compared to the massive jumps that Maxwell and Pascal brought. Edit: And just for the sake of curiosity, though I don't think this means much, here is a "relative performance per transistor" chart. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 26 Jun 2021 02:38 AM PDT Maybe this will help some people out that also previously upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and save them a few hours of research when trying to get Windows 11. You might have less trouble than I ran into if you have a clean Windows 10 install with UEFI set up properly in BIOS with Legacy boot disabled. My specs: 8600k with an Asrockz370m pro4 motherboard build in 2017. Main problem was that my original Windows 7 OS was installed using Legacy boot mode, and not UEFI. Tried following this guide from the AMD reddit regarding getting things compatible on the software/firmware side. Finding IPT to turn on wasn't too difficult, but knowing that I also had to set the default keys was something I didn't figure out until I did another 10-20 minutes of research and trouble shooting with half a dozen reboots. No idea what any of these settings did, so I was overly careful. Getting "Security Processor" to show up under Device Security wasn't too difficult, but that's where it gets fun. I couldn't find the setting to force UEFI in my BIOS at first, but later realized what I really needed to do was disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM), which I believe does the same thing. It's frustrating when all motherboard vendors use different names for the same settings. Disabling CSM just results in more problems, though. If your OS was installed using the MBR instead GPT of method you'll just end up in an endless boot loop. When I disabled CSM at first, my system would just bring me back to the BIOS on a restart instead of ever entering Windows. ...Enabled it again, and back to the google. Luckily it's possible to convert it using this method. One of my mistakes was likely trying to do it from within Windows 10 being fully loaded as (shown further down the page), instead of the recommended method of using the Recovery Environment (Windows RE) shown at first, although I'm not entirely sure that would have fixed my main issues. Trying to run "mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS" in the command prompt just resulted in "Error while creating the EFI system partition.". Thinking my 25gb of empty space out of the 240gb SSD total was not enough, I just started uninstalling, moving files, and using Disk Clean to free as much room as I could. After multiple restarts, it still gave me the same EFI error. The place it failed is in the attempt to shrink the OS partition. Here is that solution. Even using Windows Disk Management tool I was unable to shrink the volume of the drive while it was only half full now. It always said 0 MB available to shrink. I actually had to follow those 6 steps from the link above to get it to work in addition to defragmenting my SSD using Power Defragmenter because Windows 10 won't let you defragment an SSD. After that I ran the "mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS" command again. Had I followed the conversion method using Windows RE, I would have probably could have skipped a few steps, but I think defragmenting my SSD was probably still needed. To me what's strange is that I thought you are NEVER supposed to defrag an SSD because of the wear on it. Windows 11 ready now, though. ¯(ツ)/¯ EDIT: **patience not patients.
