Thank you folks. It's far too late to return the CPU, but at least I will know why I have to replace it if everything explodes.

Battlefield has had the best feeling gunplay of any of the big shooters which kept me coming back through almost all of the games (despite how mediocre some have been) after BF3 so it'll be interesting to see if this enhances it or not. I hope this is actually EA getting out of the way and letting devs dev, but also can't help but feel like it's just a long marketing campaign.
Take BF4 and just give it new graphics. And more maps.

They literally say that FSR 4 is ~8% worse performance than FSR3, ~20% worse than DLSS CNN and ~5% worse than DLSS TF. They also stated (not to mention if you just watch the video which has the frame rates listed) that there's a significant performance cost to using TF over CNN.thestryker wrote on Mar 5, 2025, 19:50:
Curious what you read/saw with this performance information (IQ is right in line with what I saw). The only comparison of the 4 I saw was by DF and the performance drop from CNN to TF was much larger than FSR 3 to 4.
Watch the video again and pay close attention, you missed something. And if you miss it again, probably means you don't have the prerequisites, meaning you didn't watch or don't remember key points from the DLSS 3 CNN VS DLSS 4 Transformer analysis videos, also from DF and possibly a few others like Hardware Unboxed.

The only comparison of the 4 I saw was by DF and the performance drop from CNN to TF was much larger than FSR 3 to 4. They were also testing with a 5070 Ti in Ratchet and Clank which performs somewhere in the range of 10-15% higher than the 9070 XT at native. So while FSR4 performance matching DLSS TF isn't great it's not as bad as it might seem.
- FSR 3 to FSR 4 performance cost about the same as going from DLSS3 CNN to DLSS4 transformer.
- FSR 4 still vastly inferior to DLSS4 transformer, especially considering you can run performance mode on the later easily at both 1440p and 4k whereas FSR 4 is still in DLSS 3 CNN territory image quality wise at that setting.
Optimized threading system to improve performance by up to 33% on Intel Arrow Lake based CPUs.I'm guessing this likely has something to do with ARL not having HT, but I don't have the game installed and never played it on my new system so couldn't say anything first hand one way or the other.

The Antec Performance 1 Silent is the only one I can think of off the top of my head (unless you want to spend $800 on the Silverstone Alta D1). Dual chamber cases (and Thermaltake's "Tower" series) are the closest you can get to the cube style but they always feature a lot of glass.
What I have yet to find is a good airflow case that doesn't have glass or RGB bullshit but does have USB-C on the front. I'd prefer a cube case but I guess those went out of style so I'm on the hunt for a mid-tower.

If it isn't Sportsball (though with much higher stakes) why did she die? We had one of your sportsball team members in the White House, right? It's almost as if we are long past the point for any of it to make a difference...
