yeah, for me the big difference on using rebar or SAM, vs things like DLSS, FSR or raytracing in bench marks is that it literally has zero impact on visuals. So if you switch it on and it improves performance, then that's the correct way to run it, if it doesn't improve or reduces performance then it should be switched off.

Exactly. So its ok to run DLSS as it typically gives free performance, yet using SAM/Rebar isnt? Very odd.

*tin foil hat* because ReBar would give AMD a better increase.....
I agree with everyone here that Rebar/Sam should be enabled but HUB clearly said they don’t test it with it enabled as it’s disabled in bios by default.
It does make sense to be honest because same thing could be said about auto overclocking feature in motherboards. Should they test CPUs with auto overlocking enabled.?
Anyway I’ve enabled rebar on my 3080 using nvidia profile inspector and can confirm that it does improve performance by small amount.
Also I haven’t noticed any adverse effects from it.

Fair point.

@LtMatt you're doing too many benchmarks now you must be burnt out, maybe you need to take a chill with a 3080Ti and give me your 6900XT and I'll take over the benchmarks?

Haha!

£1 has got me the campaign for the month. Right, which part is all the hubub about?

3rd mission, around 2 hours in,
Soldato
I’ll have a try later, not noticed any drops yet with everything maxed and minimum FPS off, but I’m v-synced to my 60hz TV. Will try again with it off and have a nose
Caporegime
I'll give it some thought.
The area myself and Chud recorded in videos above. 3rd mission, first mission outside.

You gonna record some and post back?

I get that some people may want HUB to use different test methods, but implying that they are Nvidia shills or anti-AMD doesn't match up with their track record.
They downplayed ray tracing so hard that Nvidia threatened them.
They also discovered the Nvidia driver-overhead issue and made a video dedicated to the subject at a time when I had heard nothing of the issue from any of the big youtube channels.
They also switched to AMD-based test rigs before AMD got the gaming crown (3000 series) because viewers asked for it.
Heck, they are still black listed by ASRock and I just saw a video where they gave two of their motherboards positive assements. ASRock blacklisted them and HUB still seems to give their products a fair shake.
They trashed MSI's X570 motherboards when the VRMs couldn't handle overclocked Ryzen 9's and then positively reviewed MSI's newer motherboards that performed better.
They seem to just call it like they see it.
This is just off the top of my head, too. I'm sure there's more examples of them not favoring nvidia or intel over AMD and positivly reviewing AMD's stuff. (I seem to recall Steve being very positive on zen 5000)

Exactly.
They also give dlss v1.0 a thorough beat down too.
Just the way it is now, people don't like certain results/opinions so then they automatically jump to the Nvidia/amd shills argument.
Same goes for DF too, a lot say they are Nvidia shills despite the majority of their content being extremely good with a lot of substance to back up their points.

It is not the same thing, Alex from DF is very biased towards Nvidia. To the point that he won't even mention FSR ( for example he twitted that HZD got DLSS without mentioning that it also got FSR, and FSR is good news for a lot of people, no matter what our opinion of FSR is ). Same for the recent tweet about God of War. Or his "dissapointment" about FC6 not getting DLSS, even if i am sure he understands how these partnerships between a game dev and video cards manufacturers work.
Well maybe he doesn't understand because if a game ( like CP2077 or Metro Exodus ) was not getting FSR he argued that FSR is bad anyway, instead of telling people the truth ( that just like in the case of FC6 and AMD, Nvidia paid these developers to have exclusivity for a while).
Very dishonest individual in my opinion.

Hmm referencing another shill source as an example: Jayz2cents also he is blatantly biased so much that anything positive about AMD or negative about nvidia is said through gritted teeth. So its fair game if communities fancy having a pop at them when they screw up - just like when they call out the vendors!
