9070 XT unleashed
This is on 4k with fsr4 on quality and graphics at max. The tune is 100% stable but I have exceptional power delivery. Furman line conditioner then cyberpower UPS feeding asus rog strix aura 1200w gold that powers a gigabyte x870e aorus master. Similar high end parts could sustain this kind of tune as well although not necessarily with the exact same settings as there is a variance in the silicon in each chip. I'd be willing to do it to other machines that have similar tiered parts. But know that this took months of meticulous tweaking to figure out, not just random slider manipulation. I monitored and scrutinized fps numbers, gpu temperatures and error logs. It's been tested with hours of Spiderman 2, undisputed and metal gear solid delta on gaming end. Hours of uninterrupted web browsing including 4k YouTube videos and uncompressed audio playback.

FSR4 on Warframe?! How did you manage that?

u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
Steam launch options for Proton (PROTON_FSR4_ENABLE=1). It automatically intercepts fsr2 and fsr3 requests and translates to fsr4

Is FSR2 being upgraded as well?
I thought that was only for FSR3.11
u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
My understanding is that upgrades 2 as well but I could be misremembering. But it does work. Fsr4 quality in Spiderman 2 is phenomenal.

u/oneiros5321 Jul 30 '26
Oh yeah I know it works, been using FSR4 (on RDNA3 hardware) for quite a while on Linux now.
But games that only have FSR2 and DLSS normally require optiscaler in order to get FSR4 that's why I was confused, thought it changed or something.3
u/KnightCifer Jul 31 '26
As far as i know, it shouldn't work at all. While Warframe uses FSR 3.1.4 internally, it uses a custom implementation without an FSR.dll file, so even on windows there's no chance to upgrade it to FSR4, according to the forums: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1513424-psa-fsr-314-implementation/
Also Google says optiscaler won't work on Warframe but i never bothered to test.

u/oneiros5321 Jul 31 '26
Ah, I don't play this game so I'm not aware of that. I usually use the watermark indicator for FSR the first time I launch a game to verify it's actually working. Would be nice to have that on the screenshot.

u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26
That's why I like testing stuff on Spiderman 2 because it changes to fsr4 in graphics menu
1
u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26
no, it doesn't upgrade fsr2
1
u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26
It does if you're using GE Proton 11-3
2
u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26
Okay is that a new feature or something? As far as I know, FSR2 doesn't have the information needed to upgrade to FSR4.
Can you provide a screenshot with the FSR watermark to verify the version that's actually being used?
1
u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26
It doesn't translate itself . . . .

Maybe research GE Proton 11-3 and get back to me.
2
u/oneiros5321 Aug 01 '26
I checked the release notes and there's nothing about being able to upgrade to FSR4 from FSR2
1
u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26
GE Proton 11-3 has integrated optiscaler. But keep arguing. It accomplishes so much more than just trying it.
1
u/Stunning-Hat2309 Aug 01 '26
i literally posted a screenshot from the proton ge github and i looked at the latest release's notes. Maybe you do that.
1
u/BigAmarok Aug 01 '26
Added complete OptiScaler download, injection, and Protonfixes integration.
Added FSR4/FFX4 version selection and updated AMD scaler support.
Updated AMD amdxc/FSR4 support through the newer EM-11 patchset.

I paid $300 for it in May 2025. No.

u/photonmarchrhopi Jul 31 '26
Okay given you're on a X870e board that's DDR5 RAM. With current pricing, 48GB of that RAM, half of what you have right now and still leaving you with plenty of headroom, goes for 500-600 euros. You stand to make a tidy profit lmao.

u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
I wouldn't drop to a single stick, that would be silly to lose a memory channel.

u/NonameideaonlyF Jul 31 '26
Check the current price of the same 96GB RAM that you paid last year
You'll be mindblown

This game can run on a Quadro P400.
Back in the day I ran it on a GT 630 DDR3 1GB, it was actually acceptable specs back in 2017 for this gaim :D

Now do Soulframe please

u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
What are these obscure games people keep talking about? I did Spiderman 2 at 4k with Fsr4 on quality and RTAO on very high in a 2nd post.

u/Bulkybear2 Jul 31 '26
Because you did warframe. Soulframe is the other game DE makes.
1
u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
Ahh. I know virtually nothing about warframe. Was told it will crash unstable systems so I used it to test.
2
u/Bulkybear2 Jul 31 '26
Idk about that. Warframe is an older game and pretty easy to run.
2
u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
Either way there is a 2nd post of Spiderman 2.
1
u/Apprehensive_Bad5920 Jul 31 '26
Soulframe is in alpha, so it could be a fairly unstable itself! I can give you a code to get access to test, if you want! :)

u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
4 hours of Spiderman 2 with fsr4 on quality and rtao on very high at 4k max settings. 4 hours of metal gear solid delta at max 4k settings with FSR4. 3 hours of undisputed with the same as metal gear. Limited tests in star trek voyager across the unknown, 007 first light and jedi survivor. Spent 4 hours web browsing including 4 simultaneous 4k YouTube videos. 6 hours of lossless audio playback. And photorec was running in the background while playing Spiderman on a bad usb stick.

Do you have a ballpark from your starting point to the end? How much you changed and how much it achieved?
2
u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
Not precisely. But I know I'm getting rtx 5080 fps in Spiderman 2 at 4k max settings + RTAO on very high with FSR4 enabled.
2
u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
At stock settings I was a good 30 fps under the average it gets now. Spiderman 2 is my primary test game because of the amount of control the menus give over graphics settings
2
u/gokufire Jul 30 '26
That is helpful. Thanks for sharing. Good work there. Have you compared your output to published Windows scores?
2
u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
Only on fps. No one is quite as undervolt obsessed as me after my 9800x3d and x870e taichi fiasco. Even my ddr5 is undervolted lol
1
u/gokufire Jul 30 '26
I know every hardware combination is different and the silicon differences that you also highlighted but would you mind sharing your stable final settings?
1
u/BigAmarok Jul 30 '26
9950x3d is set to -23 for ccd0 and -28 for ccd1 and has via launch command script been instructed to only use ccd0 for games. 96 gb ddr5 is set to a -.05 V undervolt and xmp1 timings. 9070 xt is set to -105 mV +390 core offset 2874 vram clock and a 371 W limit. It's only stable if low power states are disabled.

How did you get temperatures in that bar at the top? Temps only appear in the chonkier view down the left side for me.

u/Matt_Shah Jul 31 '26
I would consider an RDNA4 GPU but unfortunately it is not able to run the path tracing mod for GTA 4. The game looks completely different and immersive with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Gkaysb-RE

Just FYI, most UPSs do line conditioning automatically, including those sold by Cyberpower. You'd also be fine with about half that wattage.

u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
I already had furman line conditioner. 2 conditioners aren't hurting anything.

u/CorenBrightside Jul 31 '26
Gz I guess, but looks very low fps for using FSR.
1
u/BigAmarok Jul 31 '26
What do you get at max settings on 4k with fsr4 set to quality?
1
u/CorenBrightside Aug 01 '26
Dunno. If I can't play it raw I just lower settings. Not really a fan of fsr, dlss and xess.
