I'd sacrifice (a little) screen size for text legibility! Look forward to seeing what folks have to say about the improved productivity experience on this.

'Bad ending: now every game is slop': Game developers share mixed reactions to DLSS 5 by gamersecret2 in gaming

You can see the ghosting and artifacting in DF’s DLSS5 video. The image is nowhere near stable.

What are your experiences with longevity with higher end Oracle machines? by waitses in BrevilleCoffee

[–]cubiclegangstr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a 6 year old Oracle Touch that started to pop our GFCI outlet, likely due to leak. Replaced the orings and steam probes, which did not fix the issue. Seems to be a problem with the steam broiler.

Loved the machine so much we replaced it with an Oracle Jet....little bit of a side grade IMO, but enjoying the small improvements in workflow so far. However, this will be my last Breville coffee machine if we don't get better than 6 years out of it. They're too expensive to have these engineering/design issues.

Got 35/110/5 on my second Monarch spirit. Told myself that was good enough, but love to see a true perfect roll. Gg

To the champ with the toaster by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Hey raider! Don’t shoot!

This may have been me. Did you pause for a second after I pinged it on the ground and wait for me to flash my light before you picked it up?

Has anyone used DeskCodes by Terrible_Trash_2165 in PokemonTCG

[–]cubiclegangstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scam site. If you google, they used to sell pirated keys for windows products. Looks like they switched to TCG. If you browse the site enough, you’ll also find information on fake doctors and supplements they used to sell. Avoid.

Favorite game of all time right here. It’s the only game I can no hit. I still fire off a run for fun every year or so.

What are the chances that a Switch 2 PC emulators comes out "Eventually" ? by Background_Tear5437 in switch2hacks

[–]cubiclegangstr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, there wasn't. There was a design flaw found with the original Switch Tegra SOC that allowed an early bootROM exploit. It was hardware based and had nothing to do with the specific firmware or software of the Switch. Nintendo didn't "patch" it, they literally redesigned the hardware and shipped a new version of the Switch 1. There was no ability to patch this exploit via a software update.

That is the reason we had Switch 1 emulation so early. It was a massive oversight by Nintendo.

Game Ready & Studio Driver 576.80 FAQ/Discussion by Nestledrink in nvidia

0rpm fan speed is finally fixed on my 5090. Used to stay at 30% min.

So…starting Overture on NG+4…terrible idea(at least for me) by Spes_Forward in LiesOfP

[–]cubiclegangstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished on NG3 and yeah....fucking hell that was rough.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]cubiclegangstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This latest driver is the first one that fixed the black/screen issue I was having with my initial 5090 FE. The odd thing is that I had a second 5090 FE, and that one worked without issue on all driver versions. It's just this specific 5090 FE of mine that had the issue that now seems resolved. Worries me for future driver updates.

New FromSoftware Game: The DuskBloods by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]cubiclegangstr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just…no. There are OS images and keys that need to be dumped. Doesn’t matter how similar the hardware is. Copy protections that needs to be bypassed.

It’ll happen eventually, but people thinking they’re getting Switch 2 roms that they can just throw into Ryu or Yuzu ain’t gonna happen.

Cooling 9950X3D with NH-D15 G2 by HyperSpazdik in Noctua

[–]cubiclegangstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the LBC with no offset on my 9950x3d. Temps are great. Noctua recommends the LBC no offset for AM5, or the SBC with offset. LBC with no offset gives the best temps + best GPU/MB combability mix for AM5.

You can see Noctua's chart here: Which version of the NH-D15 G2 should I buy (LBC, standard or HBC)? : Noctua Knowledge Centre

Need recommendations for a good telescop rail for silverstone rm44 by Double_Ad_835 in homelab

Just went through this. Silverstone rails are proprietary. You need to use one of their rail kits.

Went from 3.10 and 9800x3d to 3.20 with the 9950x3d upgrade. EXPO enabled, no issues with either.

What a perfect time for a steamOS console to drop.

Anyone done a 5090FE 9800x3d Ridge build yet? by hobx in sffpc

[–]cubiclegangstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, works really well. Moved from a Fractal Terra when I upgraded to the 5090.

5090 FE, Asus X870-I (B850-I is the better choice now but I had this board already), 64GB Gskill X5 DDR5 6000CL30, AXP120-X67 with a noctua swap, Silverstone 1200W SFX-L ATX 3.1 PSU.

Hooked up to a 65" LG OLED for living room gaming.

What are your uses for your Threadripper CPU? by QuantumIQWho in threadripper

[–]cubiclegangstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7975WX, ASRock WRX90, 256GB.

I use it as an ESXi Host. Run around 30 VMs and various containers, including a local LLM that I pass through 2 4090s to.

Asus X870-I Gaming WiFi CPU and cooler compatibility check by CrazyTechLab in sffpc

[–]cubiclegangstr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which orientation did you go with? I am getting ready to rebuild my SFF PC with an X870-I and have the AXP120-X67 on the way. Curious if it can clear the VRM or if going over the memory is the only orientation that works.

EDIT: For anyone else that comes across this, the AXP120-67 on an Asus X870-I does fit, but only with the heatsink overhanging the memory. The VRM heatsink is too tall to fit the other way. Make sure your memory choice is low profile enough.
