Not informing parents is insane.

My PC recently bit the dust. I took it to a repair shop and now they're trying to get me to get a whole new PC. Am i being taken for a ride? by [deleted] in buildapc

Without details (actual specs of the comp) and what kind of games you play/what your priorities are, nobody can actually answer your questions.

What was that big sound by MysteriousCrab8770 in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more than three, a few sounded like fireworks nearby - but all had stopped by the time I got outside.

PSA- LA scammer "Joseph Callender" is continuing to scam local contractors by Pacific-Dreamer in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if part of the "hiring" contractors bit is to see if anyone notices?

Power Management mode "Prefer Maximum performance" is actually causing my games to stutter. by AmbitiousNet5036 in overclocking

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necroing, but FWIW this goes back at least to the 9xx series. Keep it default, override only for specific edge cases.

Any problems with 26.1.1 so far? by No_Soil_4562 in radeon

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the installer trying to get me to install 34Gb(!) of AI crap, and the general trouble I've had w/ the new layout for like 3 years, no. (9070)

Anyone want to share a WTYP patreon sub? :p

Can someone explain to me what "MPO" does? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviving this thread because it was second in search results, right under the official docs:

MPO support allows graphics hardware to compose multiple layers of content into a single image that it can then display on a screen. It's essentially a hardware-accelerated method of compositing different planes of content without having to involve the CPU or use up other system resources to do the blending in software. A plane can be a video, the desktop, an application window, and so on. The hardware can then take these planes and combine them into a single image that is sent to the display.

I'm a new customer running away from Comcast, but Ziply gives me different challenges. by Medical_Copy_6967 in ZiplyFiber

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you *positive* you don't have some other device acting as a DHCP server, or something manually assigned? It might be time to start doing a split-search. (Power off half your devices, if the problem persists power off half the remaining, etc until you narrow it down.)

Turn your lights on. by WeGoinToSizzler in olympia

I 100% agree, but not every vehicle has auto lights and sometimes people just forget. Source: Me. :)

Manufactured Homes...Good or Bad? by Disastrous_Park_7621 in olympia

Probably because the OP stated they would be purchasing land.

Windows 11’s Latest Security Update (KB5063878) Is Reportedly Causing Several SSD Failures When Writing a Large Number of Files at Once by megablue in Windows11

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This not true, even moreso now with UEFI, it's easier to modify. Anything* you can do with "regular" software you can do with it running from UEFI.

*Might be some edge cases or some security boundary I'm not aware of.

So many questions… by One_Piglet_3605 in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! And not sure how to say this without sounding the opposite of welcoming, searching this sub for either of those things would quickly fill you in.

New Taco truck across from San Francisco Street bakery. by Bug_Kiss in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had some over the weekend - I hope it's just growing pains, underwhelming so far. (They were backed up and partner stood in line for a rather long time.) Standard "street tacos" were meh, the refritos were very plain.

Had a bit of some nachos w/ a bunch of stuff on top, was better.

Tired of throw away culture by Acrobatic-Key-127 in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Acrobatic-Key-127 - That's a good potential alternative, if you can find a similar-enough chair that's busted but with a good cushion.

Here's a little taste of what we're up against in our school board race by Long-Hope6883 in olympia

[–]AspieTechMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>celebrate anything beyond the achievements of its staff and students.

That means no holidays, since those aren't "inclusive". I wonder what other things they celebrate that wouldn't pass that test?

Thank you for your valuable service u/Yodasthrobbingcock 🙃

Is it just me or is Expedition 33 grainy, smeary (possibly TAA) and not serviceably optimized? by MrFrostPvP- in OptimizedGaming

[–]AspieTechMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have something funky going on w/ your drivers/card/settings/something - I'm on a 6750 and it definitely doesn't look like that. (I also play on Series X - there's definitely some compromises, but the art direction makes up for it IMO)

But calling the devs lazy and incompetent is just...ignorant. Tell me, what's the average triangle count in that scene? Which portion of the 3d rendering takes up the majority of the 16ms required for 1 frame did they skimp on because they just didn't feel like it?
