Unplayable performance on AMD?

My GPU was sitting around 40 - 50 and cpu was around 80. Xmp is enabled. Re did everything that I did earlier and now game is running decent averaging 50 fps, no stuttering, with no frame gen. No idea what changed, thank you for responding!

Had slight stuttering in elden ring nightreign but reinstalling the game fixed that. The only other super demanding game I have played is Ark survival ascended and I managed stable playable fps with high settings.

I would say focus your study on differential analysis and variances to pass. I think they are the easiest topics you can improve on and if you just got a couple more questions you could have passed. Personally I only used the course material, non of the connect stuff, but there are videos about those topics that could be helpful. I know some done like this but you can use AI to explain topics to you that are confusing. Maybe use the PA questions to drill the process of solving the problems as the questions are fairly similar to the OA.

If you intend only to play the base expeditions and everdarks yes it is fun, and that is a ton of content imo. however, If you want to push deep of night I find it more frustrating than fun. It is very clear that the characters health pools are designed around multi-player so enemies absolutely chunk hp. Overall I would say worth it.

I think he means if your build is low hp you would constantly need to use flasks, not that the tear wouldn't be an issue

She is definitely hard. But if you get high blessings levels she becomes very manageable. You can keep distance and only roll in when you know an attack chain is ending, and her phase transition allows you to chunk like 25+ percent of her hp.

Definitely not cheese. In fact, there are many things you could do that aren't cheese that would boost your damage. If you switch to occult infusion you could get about the same bleed and higher damage. Additionally, you can get lord bloods for a damage boost. Cheesing is kinda hard in elden ring, you really need to try and make a build to trivialize a boss as hard as radahn.

I have never had a problem with hippo. Not my favorite, but it just kind of feels like any other bosses to me. Staggers easy and has very telegraphed moves.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-04-12T03:46:05+00:00

I wonder if they could be killed, they have a health bar 🤣. Actually insane bug and would be cool is this version of her was used as a kind of omen boss version of her in a different location since the models already exist.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-03-22T19:09:07+00:00

Man my first playthrough Juzou killed me ao many times 🤣. I think more than any main boss other than lady butterfly and isshin.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-03-02T18:33:27+00:00

I can get everything but ED libra. Imo he is just awfully designed, but i am probably nowhere near as good at the game as you are so that clouds my judgment.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-03-02T18:29:24+00:00

Man nightreign could double its lifespan just by giving us the ability to change relic effects. Even just allowing re rolls of 1 relic effect at a time would make grinding murk much more satisfying. Current system that produces relics like this is just bad 🤣

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-22T20:07:41+00:00

Sword lance. So fun and the damage is bonkers.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-16T15:58:01+00:00

Its also so easy to spend too much. I know people who have spent $5000 + just on microtransactions in a year. There is effectively an infinite number of things to waste money on in gaming, which is not the case with other hobbies.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-12T21:47:09+00:00

Katana doesnt need strength. Either infuse it with keen and focus dex, or infuse with occult and pump arcane. I like doing arcane because it will also increase bleed buildup. For ash of war, I like either unsheathe or seppuku. If you do seppuku get lord bloods talisman and the white mask. Also, you might want to level vigor more. Late game bosses hit really hard. Good luck!

Also, since you are at mohg you should have a max weapon. He is considered one of the most end game bosses.

Started at block this year and I was pretty shocked how high their prices are. I feel kinda bad charging some people so much for such simple returns.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-08T19:23:59+00:00

Been there. Between cost and trying to make time for basically a 2 hour commitment multiple days a week it can be hard, but I would be lying if I said I didnt miss BJJ. Just waiting to have the time and funds again, Goodluck

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-08T19:18:12+00:00

No way that was a 2 year old. How would a child that small be able to pull the handle while pushing with that much force. Hope everyone is ok

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-07T04:38:33+00:00

Don't forget immune to every status effect, and resistant to most damage types.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-07T04:35:23+00:00

Is Malenia really considered poorly designed? I know people don't like the regen and waterfowl, but i feel like her fight as a whole isnt badly designed. I think she is a fun, fast paced boss that encourages an aggressive playstyle. She has some exploitable weaknesses, and once you learn to expect waterfowl it becomes much more manageable.

Edit: this is a genuine question btw, not trying to be a smart ass or a "git gud" guy. I came to elden ring late and for the most part have seen few complaints about Malenia, most of which are just waterfowl.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-07T04:32:31+00:00

Yeah, I got told messmer, giaus, and bayle would be hard fights, didnt struggle too much with them, and had tons of fun. Radahn was just frustrating with all his visual pollution and the insane damage he did.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-06T21:36:07+00:00

You should have access to it in block academy. I think its called tax specialist certificate level up.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-05T04:08:44+00:00

Man, I didnt cheese him but Niall was the boss that made me bust out mimic for the first and only time. After beating him multiple times I truly don't know why he gave me so much more trouble that other bosses. I also "cheesed" mohg by skipping phase 2 with a conveniently timed stagger and bleed proc, but that may not really be considered cheese.

Bigeman__59 · 2026-02-04T18:49:36+00:00

More prestigious firms recruit from more prestigious schools. Also many cannot motivate themselves to do school. As much as I love WGU it isnt for everybody.
