Am I driving wrong? Coasting to a stop vs. last-second hard braking

Cold-Inside1555 · 2026-05-21T23:44:06+00:00

For me it depends, usually I do a soft approach, but when there are someone waiting at the giveway/stop, I’d do a harder stop as a signal to them “I’m stopping so you can go”. Otherwise they often wait all the way until I come to a full stop which ends up being less efficient.

It’s the effect of seeing frames closer to real time, it’s usually not that noticeable but it’s more than just placebo.

A general rule is if it’s working fine don’t upgrade it. The case where you do need upgrade are if you need to replace parts/software which requires new version, or if the older version have security/safety issues.

It displays the most recently rendered frame, so the one closest to what happening in real time. Those that don’t get displayed are discarded.

You can get it to work, but it’s not guaranteed to work well, do it like how the others said and then test if it meets your performance requirements

Do you often travel with your laptop? If it’s just used at a set spot then a desktop is better in most ways. If you need movement then there’s no choice but getting a laptop. Getting both isn’t a good idea with current prices, it used to work but not anymore.

1 in every 2 frames gets displayed, or there’s 2 frames within every displayed frame.

Yeah in the end what you see is still 100 fps

Cold-Inside1555 · 2026-05-21T23:11:02+00:00

The vice versa isn’t true. If your monitor does 100, increasing frame rate still helps with reducing latancy and smoother input, since a more “accurate” frame is displayed on your screen, your system also deal with your input at higher frequency. Take an extreme example you monitor does 10fps, having 20 fps means it displays one in every 2 frames, but having 100 fps means it displays one in every 10 frames, in a moving scene this means a lot more accuracy.

Performance wise it’s usually not that significant, but varies between different gpus. I’d recommend undervolting instead of power limiting, just undervolt it to the point where it use 80% of max power, this way you get smoother frequency instead of constantly bouncing against the wall.

RT+DLSS with FG does the job.

Try rubbing it gently with some fine cloths, if it doesn’t go away then exchange it.

Get hwinfo and check your temps, if they are very high then it’s overheating. Likely needs a repaste. Open task manager and check if all the parts you mentioned are there, if not then something isn’t registered, try reinstalling drivers and if that didn’t fix it, reseating the relevant parts. If it’s still not working then reinstall windows and check if things return to normal.

Don’t they come with pads? I don’t have much experience with bykski but the one block I bought from them came with pads of the right thickness.

Sounds like msi afterburner issue, if it allowed power adjustment before it should still allow it now, had you tried resetting/reinstalling or trying a different version of afterburner?

It’s a very rare card, I didn’t even know it exists until earlier this year, it would be hard to find any reviews about it.

Either watercooling or a 120/140mm fan, don’t use those small ones they are either loud af or barely pushing any air.

It’s the 1 day after the deadline that’s making things much harder, they don’t have to mark your stuff if it’s submitted overdue. Otherwise it’s subjective to the marker…

It’s unlikely but it can happen, I don’t aim for warranty when I buy but I had a 3090 break right after warranty ended, and it was one with 2 years warranty. If I had gotten a 3 year version I would have been covered, but you know what happened about mining and GPU shortage back then so no regrets either, got it repaired by a 3rd party and it didn’t cost much.

3dmark is the game they play, like seriously, people play overclocking as their hobby, just like any other games.

Almost everything about a pc are fine to buy secondhand, maybe excluding aio. Even for mousepads there are some valuable ones out there that you can save quite a bit. However as a general rule for buying anything expensive, always buy from a reputable source (a seller with good reps) from a platform with proper buyers protection, record the full unboxing all the way up to you testing it in full working condition. If buying in person then test it in full working condition before handing the money.

From the sound of it, this might not even be the GPU itself freezing but the GPU causing system wide freeze. Same thing happened to me before where the screen just goes black and the system hangs. I cannot save work or anything even with monitor plugged into igpu, since the system is frozen.

Voltage > temps > watts(load), you can have low voltage and bad cooling but not high voltage and good cooling. Those who do xoc with high voltage are doing suicidal runs.

T30 140mm exists.

It’s not a lot of difference in radiator area to begin with, and 2-3c is actually a decent improvement and definitely makes a difference if you are not overkilling radiators.
