PC Master Race - PCMR: A place where all enthusiasts of PC, PC gaming and PC technology are welcome!

Not even going to dive into the downsides of frame generation. What I’m disappointed at is how Nvidia propping this up as the future of GPU rendering.

True future of GPUs should be silicone alternatives. Finally getting graphene to work in a sellable GPU. Using lasers instead of wires. Actual advancement of PC technology. Gigantic leaps in actual measured performance.

All the money Nvidia spends on R&D, yet nothing on silicone alternatives. Instead, we’re being force fed a “fake it until you make it” technological philosophy.

The reality is, AI can’t do everything. Even if frame generation is a decent method to boost framerates, it still doesn’t address the core performance deficiencies of current hardware. Hardware is always the default limit to video game creativity. Whether that be because optimising a certain feature takes too much money, or the hardware isn’t powerful enough to run a feature at playable framerates.

If we’re still stuck with silicone hardware, we’ll never achieve video games that do it all; 8K+ resolution, 1000fps, destruction physics, sentient character AI, etc. Some shitty DLSS technology won’t bridge us towards video game nirvana. Only a gigantic leap in hardware will do this. Relying on AI upscaling and frame generation is just giving up.

My pc just started to lag these last couple weeks. I just put in my cat8 Ethernet cable seeing if that was the problem, But still lagging. And it is not my WiFi because I have 2 consoles and they both work perfectly fine on my WiFi. I’m wondering if it is any of the settings on my pc that I need to change. If you want my pc specs just comment.

I'm looking to buy a PC, and I was wondering if I should pair a i5 14500 CPU with a RTX 3060 or 4060. Where I live they are the same price.

Hi guys i decided its time for some upgrades but im clueless what to look for and where to start. My pc was built a long time ago with my bro but now its kinda not enough for newer games like BG3 etc. Could you guide me what could i change in my build to make it work better. Im looking for something low budget if its possible. Thanks in advance and Glory2PCMasterRace
