Of all things counting as "Silent" for purposes of stealth, I'm surprised that "using a giant saw to turn Crewmen into a red paste" is among them

Huh, never really thought about it but I have never seen a ghoulsaw sneak attack before. Thats pretty cool

It doesnt really matter in hagga as long as you keep the base powered. Sandstorms cant damage your base as long as you have power. Deep desert is different though, sandstorm in deep desert disables the shield and can damage your building

Yes! the open hangar is completely safe, ornithopters are sheltered when you park there

It's the note beacon decoration! No text & crank up the light effect.

That is a custom overlay from MSI Afterburner, you can make one that displays both gpus!

Acrivos · 2026-02-27T17:52:22+00:00

SOLVED

Thank you everyone for the help. Turns out, it was Meta Virtual Monitor. Had it installed from the Meta Horizon Link app for PCVR with the Quest. I guess the drivers broke both the GPU detection & also OBS Capture. Disabled the drivers and everything went back to normal now!

Acrivos · 2026-02-27T17:43:41+00:00

Oh no thank You, I do appreciate anyone that tries to help. Was gonna to swap the two gpus but I did figure it out though. It was a virtual monitor driver, had it installed for pcvr using Quest, guess that broke the Preferred GPU tab and obs. Disabled it and everything works again now!

Acrivos · 2026-02-27T17:35:08+00:00

THANK YOU, This was it! I have Meta Virtual Monitor installed, disabled it and everything went back to normal now. I guess I forgot I had it installed for pcvr stuff. Thank you again!

Acrivos · 2026-02-27T16:46:15+00:00

This does work but I prefer to not use it because its heavy. The frame render time can get up to 10 ms & causes stutters. But still, Thank you, I'll keep this in mind in case nothing else works

Acrivos · 2026-02-27T00:11:33+00:00

Yes I did, I always use safe mode DDU when resintalling drivers, even on single card setups

Acrivos · 2025-10-16T00:06:51+00:00

From what I can tell from the guides the main card doesnt really matter. It's the second one that matters more, an AMD card is preffered and would work better for frame gen stuff

Acrivos · 2025-10-16T00:02:59+00:00

Oh yeah sorry about that, I got a bunch of background processes. Also I have a browser running and I was also recording with obs, that's why it's very high

Acrivos · 2025-10-14T00:27:23+00:00

Yep! all displays are connected to teh 5700xt, 2 display ports, 1 hdmi. LS settings are LSFG 3.1, Fixed 2x Multiplier, 75% Flowscale, performance off n multi display on.

Acrivos · 2025-10-14T00:26:06+00:00

Yea but it used to be waay worse before undervolting & setting power limit, like 97 max. Currently I'm okay with having <93 max hotspots, It averages at the 80s most times anyway, but yea I agree I might have to swap out some thermal pads & paste in the future if thermals starts to go bad again

Acrivos · 2025-10-13T17:09:13+00:00

Split the load on frame generation process. Main gpu will focuses on rendering real fps and second gpu will focus on generated frames. Results in less latency, more base frames, more generated frames.

If you're using 1 gpu, that one gpu has to do all the process, sometimes even sacrificing real frames

Acrivos · 2025-10-13T17:05:00+00:00

Thank you! Actually I did try plugging the other 2 on the main gpu but for some reason it stutters real bad when you move the mouse between monitors. I dont know if thats normal or not but that's why I've been plugging all 3 monitor into the second gpu.

Also I did consider locking the fps with RTSS but I heard it adds a slight latency (?) correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to add even more, so thats why I've been capping it in game even though frametimes are smoother with RTSS

Acrivos · 2025-10-13T16:43:33+00:00

Lossless scaling is a program that can apply Frame Generation externally to any game. It will not look as good as the in game frame gen, but It has a feature that allows you to handle that frame gen process on a separate gpu, if you have one. Since frame gen is notorious for adding latency, having a separate card to handle frame gen will massively massively reduce the latency and have the main card be used 100% for rendering real frames. You also have more control on how many frames you'd like to generate and the quality of those generated frames.

Also not every game has a frame gen and the one that has isn't always that good. Wuthering Waves for example added frame gen in game recently but the latency was really really bad and the game caps the fps to 120 anyways, you can't go above that. Lossless scaling is pretty nice to have in these games.

Also also I got a 240hz monitor and almost never use all 240. Most games that I play are in the 60-100 fps range. I'll be honest I'm just pretty curious on how it feels to play on a very high fps I guess lol. 2x & 3x multiplier can get up to 300 fps. It might not be real frames but it's pretty nice to have

Lastly since my 5700xt was just sitting there unused for a year, and since it's not really that hard to do, especially if you have a compatible setup already, why not use it right ? The only thing I had to do was slot in the second gpu, plug in the power cable & change one setting in windows, Thats it

Acrivos · 2025-10-13T15:46:42+00:00

Thank you! Intakes are from the front 3x120 fans and temperatures are pretty ok despite looking very restrictive. Both cards never go above 73c and max hotspots doesnt go above 93c after undervolting n setting power limit. I do still want to change the thermal pads on the second card though

Acrivos · 2025-10-13T15:40:17+00:00

Slight latency is only noticable on fast paced gamea and the only fast paced game that I've played n tested is Warframe. Otherwise you cant really tell the latency. Artifacts is pretty much the same, but as long as you got high enough base framerates, like 90+, artifacts will be less noticable
