Have a go with Cyberpunk 2077 that can push any system with all the bells and whistles on.

Also you can download Half Life 2 RTX for free but you do need the Half Life 2 base game and that is pretty demanding, you can tweak it too to make it insanely demanding.

What do you mean? Just post your specs.

Thanks,

Found the Monster Wilds Demo got 37807 points. FPS low that I saw was 104 I think, might have gone under 100 at one point average was 235ish. everything was at max. Though my monitor is 10ish years old so I should try on my 2yr old tv.

I am looking forward to Cyberpunk now that it seems out of Beta.

I'll see if Half Life RTX will play nice.

Install psensors. Watch CPU/GPU temps to see if you need the play with case fans, fan curve/speeds in Bios.
I also use GreenWithEnvy to play with GPU fan curves.

Good Luck!

Thanks,

When doing most things with PCs if it works that's enough. Having the silliest PC I have ever owned most of anything I might do will be handled fine.

Trying AI video generation with the built in video of a Ryzen 5 5700 & 64 ram took 45 min. upping my Ram 40 mins, upping to the RX 9070xt 32 mins and upping the CPU got it down to 16 Min.

Having list all of that, I have been out of the PC building game for a while combined with my avoidance of Windows, I really don't know what I don't know.

I do know that some games are more demanding than others and that if my system is struggling with something it might indicate that I have failed to configure something correctly. In replying the the other response, I realized that my monitor may be influencing my results.

So yeah, I'm trying to push the system to find it's limits to be sure that it's current limits are a reflection of what it should be able to do.

Gonna try the Monster Hunter Demo on my TV now.

I'll look into both of those.

me:"Gonna try the Monster Hunter Demo on my TV now."

hope this is not considered bad form.

so tried on my TV using 3840x2160 and got average 136 fps and low average of 90fps

My monitor is only 1920x1080. it also does not have many newer bells and whistles so it runs with about 10% higher fps.

Ultra was used for both.

There was a noticeable difference using the high and low on the TV, but comparing the low on the tv to the monitor, the monitor hid any issues the TV was highlighting.

Wow! Half-Life 2 RTX is wonderfully stubborn vs AMD.

With the compatibility with AMD not prioritized, this might be a great option for testing/optimizing my bios settings.

Previous settings I was using turned out to be unstable after about a week without shutting down. I had to use a default auto profile to boot afterwards but that's just giving me a baseline to work with/ :)

Yeah i wouldn't have mentioned it if I knew you had an AMD GPU, it's made with Nvidia RTX Remix, a set of Nvidia tools for revamping old games.
Actually cool stuff and worth watching a couple of vids on it if you're into that kind of thing, basically using A.i tools to remaster games.

Don’t bother with RTX on AMD, it’s not made for it.

That is no longer true, the new cards have dedicated hardware gir it, it's just still a decent chunk behind nvidia.

Kind if surprised IP didn't go with a 4090 or 5090, would of thought it would maje a huge difference to ai work loads with 24 or 32GB vram.

Half-Life: Lost Coast and the Crysis trilogy are still good for putting hardware through it's paces.

Or set up BOINC and run cancer simulations and help uplift the human condition. Though that's mostly CPU jobs. Project work units that use GPU computation are sporadic.

Wait --- What do you mean? I didn't know that Half-Life 2 had any config file settings that could significantly improve the visuals or other aspects?

EDIT: Nevermind... I misread what you wrote because it was rather oddly written, lol.

For my purposes at the moment, "not made for it" helps.

Monster Hunter Wilds Demo gives me an option for just enjoying the prettiness and will be useful comparing to others systems.

However, seeing improvements in something like HL2 RTX will be about overcoming adversity.

I look forward to CP2077 for when I am just enjoying my gaming, and Monster Hunter is tempting me too.

My experience over the years with AMD vs Nvidia and AMD vs Intel on Linux was a major factor.

Adding in expected (not always delivered) compatibility between CPU and GPU being from the same parent company, I was uncertainly confident I would be able to do some gaming. I am getting more than I was certain of on when I started planning this build.

I am being stubborn, intransigent and difficult on myself, but it lets me poke around and figure out stuff. Which I find fun.

I also tend towards 100 tabs open at once while running multiple office apps and just wanting to pop into blender to tweak a picture.
