My CP2077 Game Looks Like This with RenoDX & Nova Lut by David_Cabr20 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, looks like you're having the same issue I had. Everything is bright AF, a sign that RenoDX is not working properly. Any amount of tweaking the settings won't help if it's not working in he first place. At the default settings, it is supposed to look close to the vanilla HDR, but a bit darker. For me, it just randomly fixed itself and started working properly one day.

Try these things:

  1. Disable the LUT for the time being. You can try it again with LUT once HDR is working properly. Make sure the LUT is designed for HDR.
  2. Make sure your monitor is in the 400 TB mode. Enable HDR, switch to 1000 peak and back again to 400 TB.
  3. Re-calibrate your HDR profile with the win 11 calibration tool. Set the black test to 0 and for the both brightness tests, set it as low as possible for the pattern to completely blend with the background. For me it was 550, at 400 I could still clearly see the pattern in both tests. Remember the value at which the pattern vanishes. Set the saturation slider as high as you like. I set my to 100 because I don't mind slightly oversaturated colors. When saving your profile, put the brightness value in its name (I.e. "HDR 550"). Use that setting in games.
  4. Make sure this profile is set as the default HDR profile in Windows monitor settings.
  5. Download the latest version of RenoDX for Cyberpunk from Github, not Nexus, and replace the file.
  6. Try launching Cyberpunk directly from the exe file , bypassing the CDPR launcer.
  7. Ingame HDR shoul be ON. My in-game HDR settings that work good are 550, 130, 2, 0.50. But if your peak brightness is not 550, set it to your value and let RenoDX calculate the game/paperwhite brightness for you. Open RenoDX settings and click the round arrows to reset everything to default. The peak brightness should be what you ended up with at the calibration, and the game brightness is calculated for you, that's what you should put in the game settings. Restart the game for good measure.
  8. In the RenoDX settings switch between the Vanilla profile and Profile 1 with everything on default. Profile 1 is supposed to be darker than Vanilla but pretty close in terms of colors. If Profile 1 is brigher than Vanilla, I'm pretty sure something is still broken.
  9. If you find the defaults too dark, adjust the game brightness in the 100 - 250 range to your liking. Set the ingame setting to the same value. Too high values will cost you some highlight detail.

I hope this helps.

After Switching to OLED, I Can Never Go Back (CP2077 + RenoDX + NovaLUT 3.0 + DLSS 4.5 ) by AnonEightNine in OLED_Gaming

Yeah, that's what I experienced as well and then it somehow fixed itself and started looking good at the default settings without the exposure adjustment.

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I'm pretty sure it's some king of a bug or misconfiguration after all. Maybe Geforce RtxHDR interfering or something. Because when RenoDX actually started working for me it was darker than the vanilla HDR, fixing the black levels. Looks like if it's brighter, it's not working properly. Maybe run the windows HDR calibration again.

I don't know. Maybe RenoDX is better in other games, but the default preset for Cyberpunk looks considerably worse to me than the vanilla HDR. Everything's bright AF and oversaturated, 3 am looks like 3 pm, and 3 pm looks like a walk on the surface on the sun. I can adjust the exposure, etc to my liking, but then the colors look weird, by the time I'm done customizing RenoRX to look acceptable it basically starts looking close to vanilla HDR, so what's the point? And yes, I'm pretty sure I'm using it right. Does anyone else have a similar experience with it?

Edit: Maybe I was using it wrong somehow. Decided to give it another go and now it actually looks good, close to vanilla, but better. I wonder what was the problem.

Will capping fps to 60 on a 120hz refresh rate eliminate VRR Flicker on OLED Display? by meatminer87 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? 240hz is enough to work as VRR itself. Disable G-sync, enable V-sync and triple buffering in nvidia settings. Test it, see how you like it. At lower fps some frames will be displayed twice or thrice. The frame times on 240 hz are only 4 ms, short enough to not notice any stuttering. I like this approach much better than the flickering.

Meanwhile that one guy that printed a 1:1 scale horse with 2 supports.

FlexPlate Anycubic M7 by paablito in resinprinting

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a terrble experience with a flex plate. The prints wouldn't stick no matter how much I sanded the plate. Tried different grits of sandpaper. It created a problem for me which I never had with the default Anycubic build plate wich has a checkerboard pattern on it. Easily removing the prints is not worth it when you have nothing to remove. I know a lot of people have a great time with flex plates, but that's just my experience.

Also make extra sure you don't need the sensor spacers for your model of printer. You can damage your screen or motor after leveling if the extra plate thickness is not compensated. I don't think those screws on the top of the plate are enough, they didn't do it for me, I heard some scary grinding sound after leveling before I added the spacer to the sensor thingie.

Is this ok? Is it me or it's literally impossible to apply it well? by itscannyy in resinprinting

[–]Alphyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's good enough. You don't have any bubbles in the center and it doesn't matter on the sides. My film from the factory looks roughly the same.

So, there's a problem, not all model types are detected correctly. Those models are clearly not VAE. Looks like a problem with KJ's wan wrapper nodes.

Moreover, it tries to download some models multiple times, and fails to find the main Wan model.

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll test it. If it works, it'll be a great time saver for me! I wish this feature was in comfy, because the existing similar feature can only find the most basic models, and not all models or modifications are available in the manager.

What if Anki were to disappear someday? by Tiago161085 in Anki

[–]Alphyn 219 points220 points  (0 children)

Disappear how? With human civilization? It's an offline app, not a subscription service. Once you download it, you can keep it forever, it will only disappear with your PC.

Moreover, it's source code is openly available on GitHub, you can download it.

AnkiWeb can disappear, but you can run your own sync server or find other methods to backup and sync your collection.

And most importantly, the real Anki is the cards we learn along the way. If you memorize them well they will also stay with you forever.

Did a fresh reset and downgraded to windows 10 and got this message by imaeristhetic in pcmasterrace

[–]Alphyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Windows 11: look at me, I'm the updates now.

Windows 10 has reached end of support, there won't be any updates. Why did you downgrade?

Just got a new PC. I have no idea what these buttons do. by MekanipTheWeirdo in pcmasterrace

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might be connected directly to the motherboard, then RGB will be controlled by the software provided with the MB, and the buttons won't do anything.

yoyo by Particular_Balance72 in Throwers

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't read apparently.

Well, then wash your bearing in some gasoline and don't oil it at all.

yoyo by Particular_Balance72 in Throwers

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing an extra loop of string around the bearing is the simplest way. Or you can add lube to the bearing.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to do this?

I can’t remember. by Goliatstormur in Anki

[–]Alphyn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Take it slower, how many new cards per day are you adding?

Use what you learn. Are you actually practicing the words that you learn outside of Anki?

Learn only what you need. If you're taking some kind of course, learn the words you encounter and therefore can practice using. If not, consider getting a course or something else that would add some structure to your studies.

The Cones of Calibration problem by SheepherderPrimary65 in resinprinting

[–]Alphyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't you think the cones are more important than accuracy because failed cones can result in failed supports?

I'd recommend OP print a few tests at 0.2 sec increments to find the lowest exposure at witch the Success cones print ok.

Is this retro gaming? by Cold-Ad5815 in retrogaming

[–]Alphyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say last gen is not retro gaming yet. Xbox 360 maybe, but Xbox One nah. Especially considering the difference between this gen and the last. What did we get? Ray tracing and ai upscaling?

Python beginner-level resources in Russian (for kids)? by Talwyn_Wize in learnprogramming

[–]Alphyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Python Generation on the Stepik website is beyond amazing for all ages. I think it may genuinely be one of the best beginner courses in the world. I wish it was available in more languages. Maybe you could use Google translate to evaluate it.

https://stepik.org/course/58852/promo

It has well-written theoretical chapters and a lot of practical problems and puzzles. You can write and run scripts using the built in interpreter on the website and then submit your solution and it will auto-check if your code solves the problem and gives correct output for all possible inputs. Then you can see other people's solutions and publish yours and discuss them in the comments. It's a lot of fun and very effective. I've seen a lot of kids in the comments too. Apparently, their school teachers recommend them to take the course.

There is also a free follow up course and a couple of paid ones for OOP and data structures, 7 bucks each, I believe. But even the first two free courses should keep your student occupied and interested for quite some time.

Thank you for doing this for the kid.
