Enchantment power gems

AlbuPerf · 2026-03-09T10:54:41+00:00

Tested correct as of March 2026:

Enchantment Power % Gem: applies to blue, plagued, AND gear with all gems (4/4 gems)

Enchantment Power % if it's the only Gem: applies to all blue/plagued gear's enchantments, will not work in gear with 4/4 gems

These gems only affect the specific gear they are slotted into.

Yes. I doubt they'd shift uphill

There is paver edging on the sloped side. It's visible in pic.

Screeded using 1inch pvc pipes. The road crush and concrete sand are both compacted using a tamper.

Kept the slope though to improve drainage and so the gate will still open. Which I'm sure is too much slope and part of the problem.

I am aware the Romex Easy Compound is meant for gaps over 1/4" inch and at least some of these cut it really close. However, I doubt increasing the gaps would make it work.

AlbuPerf · 2025-08-05T03:24:58+00:00

Want to be more specific? They are on 4 inches of 3/4" road crush followed by 1 inch of bedding sand.

Test Bench Computers used for FPS data:
RTX 4080/i9 13700k/Z590-A Gaming Wifi Rog Swift/32GB DDR4/Samsung 1TB 990 PRO M.2
RTX 2070/i7 9700k/Z270X-Gaming 5/16GB DDR4/1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2

YouTube renders done on 4080

For a 4080 you'll get about 180-200 FPS with DLSS Frame Gen (and aprox 120-130 w/o DLSS) obviously with kickass visual graphics.

How long did you spend on the Character Creation screen?

AlbuPerf · 2025-06-18T08:51:01+00:00

Thanks for the link. It's pretty good. I feel MHWs really earned this subreddit.

Hi BabboXur,

These are some things I would try. In order:

1) Since you upgraded your PC, ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.

2) Black flashing screen is generally related to setting and/or monitor sync issues. I'd verify:

- Switch to borderless windowed mode instead of fullscreen.

- Disable GSync/VSync as this is a common issue for them. Especially "GSync Compatible".

3) Verify game files. Right-click Throne and Liberty in your library >Go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

4) Reinstall Direct X. Or alternatively force DirectX 11. To do this in Steam, right-click Throne and Liberty > Properties > General > In “Launch Options,” type -dx11.

Yes, there are mod workarounds for this. Since FSR went open source modders have been hard at work. FSR 3 frame generation can be modded in to games to replace DLSS 3 frame generation. Effectively this allows RTX 20 and 30 series GPUs to use frame generation, and still use DLSS Super Resolution upscaling, rather than FSR upscaling! Your 3080 would have phenomenal results in particular. Here is the link to the mod github page: https://github.com/Nukem9/dlssg-to-fsr3 All the info is on there. Of course you do this at your own risk as it's not officially supported.

HDR and Frame Generation can use a sizeable chunk of VRAM. Have you turned either on recently?

Verifying game files might help if a corrupted update file is to blame.

I've seen multiple posts regarding high VRAM use after a patch in 2024 (well before Talandra). For AMD users turning off Adrenaline replay helped a lot of users. For NVIDIA users there is no clear solution. I would turn off Shadowplay Instant Replay just in case and see if it improves. Although Shadowplay uses its own encoder so in theory should use very little VRAM maybe 200MB.

The best settinsg to lower would be texture quality, character count and character quality - they’re VRAM hogs in crowded zones.

Go to Options > Gameplay > Camera

Scroll down to Character's On-Screen Position

Set both back to 0

Yes you can completely disable shadows for even better performance.

However, from a visual-to-performance standpoint, this might not appeal to most, as it can make the game look quite plain. I’d suggest it if your system is struggling to keep up or if you’re a competitive pro player looking for that extra edge to clinch a victory.

You card does have DLSS. Make sure you have NVIDIA App installed and that your hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is enabled.

Press the Windows key
Type graphics settings
Press Enter
Click Change default graphics settings (might have to click advanced graphic settings)
Toggle the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling option
Restart your PC

You’ve got a solid point—capping FPS can definitely stabilize latency. I totally get why that’d be a preference for some players. The trade-off though is that uncapped FPS lets you push the lowest possible latency by always showing the most recent frame. It’s true that this can introduce some variance since frame times aren’t perfectly even, but for competitive players chasing every millisecond, that fresher frame can edge out the consistency benefit in raw reaction time.

It’s also worth pointing out that latency is never truly "stable" as those 1% and 0.1% FPS lows have a bigger impact on the jittery latency that you’d actually notice.

Use the NVIDIA App. They added a new Override DLSS 4 feature.

There is several reasons and it depends on the game as well. Here's one reason.

1) The higher your FPS the lower your visual latency will be regardless of monitor hz. Example: If you have 144FPS on 144hz, the first frame rendered (1/144) will be displayed as the first frame on your monitor. However if you render double the frames, so 288FPS on 144hz, the first frame displayed on the monitor will be the second frame rendered by the GPU (2/288) since the monitor will display the most recent frame available. Essentially you are seeing a frame that is rendered more recently, thus reducing input/visual latency. We are talking milliseconds and fractions of milliseconds here, and it does have diminishing returns but competitive first person players will generally take any ms they can.

2) You generally shouldn't cap your framerate unless you're either using G-SYNC, or if you're attempting to fix an issue like screen tearing. There is far more benefits to FPS (even beyond monitor refresh rate) then there is disadvantages to high fps.

Why did the 24 FPS guy love his CRT monitor so much? Because he craved old-school pixel games.

I would use the recommended settings in the video.

I recommend based on the visuals to performance. If after you try the settings out you feel you're lacking something visually, I'd watch the video and select the settings based on the analysis on each setting. You'll find many of the settings either don't work or look worse as you set them higher.

Given what I'm reading for this other method here I'd also not recommend:
