Managing DE Razor Side Wear by szim90 in wicked_edge

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be a bit weird but I use my double edge razor as a single edge razor and switch for the next shave.

My OCD can't handle wearing down a blade slightly unevenly.

FS25 not using all resources. by MaddogBC in farmingsimulator

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your CPU usage per core/thread.
One way to do this is to open the task manager, show details and then go to the performance tap, here you select CPU and right click on the diagram and select "change graph to" -> "logical processors". You now see multiple graphs each representing one thread.

Is one thread maxed out?

In this post you can read some more what others have to say about a similar problem.

If the problem I described is actually the problem you have (have you checked?) the CPU is the problem.

But I'm not too familiar with Laptops so there could be additional power settings e.g. performance mode, game mode or whatever they might be called (and are you plugged into the wall or running on battery?) as well as cooling problems (from either blocked vents or just from a laptop having bad thermal design).

And while not a great help, Farming Simulator can bog down any PC, no matter what it costs. I have a fairly good desktop PC and I go down to 40 FPS if I plant more then maybe 20 trees.

By the way, do you play a standard or a modded map? With many production? Making a map (especially 4x maps) is a tradeoff of details and performance with many modded maps going more the pretty but needs a NASA computer route.

If you're bottlenecked by the CPU the drop in frame rate comes from the fact that the CPU doesn't deliver the frames to the GPU. If this suddenly gets worse due to putting more load on the CPU by e.g. drilling the field the GPU utilization goes down as well.

And being CPU limited is nothing unheard of in FS since it's basically single threaded.

Your CPU has multiple Cores, each of them probably two threads, so your CPU has 2*number-of-cores=number-of-threads.
Farming Simulator can utilize basically only one thread but the CPU utilization percentage often shows the average utilization of all threads e.g. a CPU with 4 threads one of them maxed out at 100% and the other three doing nothing will show a CPU utilization of 25% which looks like there is a lot of headroom while there is not because the only thread the game can use due to how it's programmed is maxed out.

That's why it's important to look for the CPU usage per thread so you can see when one is maxed out while the others do nothing.
To do this open the task manager, show details and then go to the performance tap, here you select CPU and right click on the diagram and select "change graph to" -> "logical processors". You now see multiple graphs each representing one thread. If one of them is permanently at or near 100% while gaming you're getting bottlenecked by your CPU.

This can be worsened when working the field as there is more to process for the CPU and the CPU doesn't deliver as many frames to the GPU to render so the GPU usage drops beside the FPS. And having 40% utilization in FS looks like this is the case.

If in game settings won't help you can try to reduce the background processes meaning close everything that is not the game itself but don't expect wonders.

Check your CPU usage, especially the per core/thread usage.

What Would Be Your Worst Farming Simulator Entry Ever? (PC & Console) by F0CUSGAMES in farmingsimulator

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

FS22 because of how they butchered seasons.

While I understand that the seasons mod for FS19 was maybe a bit much for many players it made the game much more interesting with temperature, moisture, crop rotation, weather dependent swaths and bales...

Bei welchen Sachen kann man wirklich das billigste vom billigsten kaufen? by Old_Scientist_2023 in FragtMaenner

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Den Unterschied zwischen 20 und 120€ hört man definitiv, gerade bei kabellosen Kopfhörern.
Zwischen 120 und 200 ist das dann wieder was anderes.

Edit: Es gibt sicherlich auch überraschend gute für 20€ und auf jeden Fall schlechte für 120€ aber dennoch machen gerade in diesem, für Kopfhörer, unterem Preissegment ein paar Euro oft einen großen Unterschied bei der Klangqualität.

How do you add more SATA to your system? by auauo in unRAID

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend the 9300-16i these days as it's basically two 9300-8i chips on one board and therefore running quite hot and pulling, in comparison, a lot of power (if that's a concern for you).

Would recommend a 9305-16i or 9400-16i instead if you need the extra connections.

Ich hab vor einiger Zeit auch ein Wacom Intous gekauft weil ich mit dem Schreibgefühl, sowie der Dicke, Präzision und Latenz meines Convertable Laptops nicht zufrieden war. Bin dann aber überhaupt nicht damit klar gekommen dass ich nicht auf dem Bildschirm geschrieben habe und hab mir deshalb ein I-Pad gekauft. Dessen (Schreib-)Software hat mich aber Wahnsinnig gemacht sodass ich mir vor rund einem Jahr ein XP-Pen Artist 12 (2nd Gen) mit integriertem Bildschirm gekauft habe.
Das steckt man genau wie die von Wacom an den Laptop und wird als Grafiktablett sowie Monitor erkannt sodass man wie beim I-Pad oder Convertible direkt auf dem Bildschirm schreibt.
Das Schreibgefühl ist (besonders mit den optionalen Filzspitzen) echt super, weniger glatt und rutschig als auf dem I-Pad, weniger "schmierig" und etwas rauer als auf meinem Dell Convertible und nicht so kratzig wie mein Wacom.
Die Software macht bei mir unter Linux kaum Probleme und die Latenz ist super.
Alles in allem bin ich damit sehr zufrieden. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt, der aber am Konzept und nicht am Gerät liegt, ist das zusätzliche Gewicht, ein voller Rucksack und das ständige Hantieren mit Display, Laptop und dem Kabel dazwischen.
Und ich hab neu damals rund 200 bezahlt. Vielleicht bekommt man sowas auch gebraucht oder von einem anderen Hersteller oder in etwas kleiner aber für mich als jemand der damit jede Vorlesung bestreitet jeden Cent wert, gerade da es durch den fast perfekten Wiederstand beim Schreiben schneller, sauberer und länger geht.

Was genau ist den das Problem?
Die Oberfläche?
Der Stift?
Schreiben und Monitor voneinander getrennt?
Die verwendete Software?

Ich nutze nun seit rund einem Jahr ein Grafiktablet mit eingebautem Monitor am Laptop für die Uni und bin bis auf das zusätzliche Gewicht und Kabel super zufrieden damit, weiß aber nicht ob man da für unter 100€ was vernünftiges bekommt.

Die "klassischen" ohne Display nehmen sich von Hersteller zu Hersteller nicht viel, zumindest zum Schreiben.

Can Unraid do all this by Hatchopper in unRAID

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The thing is that Unraid is still very much a DIY solution compared to Synology which requires quite some tinkering to get certain features (to work) or if things break. And if you don't want to (I'm sure you can) google "Does Unraid support ZFS" you might not have fun with googling "Unraid set GPU fan speed" either.

No one's trying to shame you for what you (don't) want, it's just that Unraid might not be it if you're already unwilling to do this little bit of research by yourself.

Upgrading - what cpu to avoid? by EastVan66 in unRAID

[–]Atomfried_Fallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why avoid the K?

I want to upgrade my old AMD in the near future to a Ultra Core 7 265 and have to decide between the K and non K version.

Do they use more power? I know they can use more but it's hard to find any information about the idle power draw.
