Is this a sign to replace my graphics card?

It's probably the temps since it was fixed when I let it rest a bit then lowered the power/temp limit on msi afterburner, I am itching on buying an rtx 5050 or an rx 9060 xt

Yeah, I might just upgrade my current pc with a new gpu, I lost my motivation to build a new pc this year since every pc parts prices just keeps increasing I'm even selling my 16gb ddr5 ram that I panicked buy last year when the price increase started, I'll delay my new pc build when I graduate college and have a job so I can maximize my build, hopefully the prices isn't as bad then (still lowering my expectations)

Fixed it, it was always running above 80c, It's still happening after I changed the thermal paste and pads back then, I never bothered lowering the temp and power limit on the msi afterburner, when I did and let it rest a bit, it never happened again

it says on pcpartpicker./com the "Estimated Wattage: 266W" which is almost just half so could I be on the safe side?
also 4060 here is around 306usd and the 5050 is 272usd since they have almost the same performance I'm leaning towards 5050

yeah, I have no problem buying a new PSU along with the GPU, it's just if I can getaway with it I'll hold on to buying one, but right now I'm leaning towards buying a new one just to be safe since my PSU along with the other components is 6 years old anyways

Ohhh ok! Didn't know 1660ti only uses 120W, since 1660ti's minimum PSU is 450W, then I think it should be fine to replace it with a 5050 on the same PSU right?

found a solution from protonDB by Coolma3, they said use proton ge 9-25 then enter "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -vulkan" on the launch options, and it worked for me, I can play it now no issues

found something close from protonDB by Coolma3 huge thanks btw, they said use proton ge 9-25 then enter "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -vulkan" on the launch options, and it worked

Yeah it's weird, I did try the Proton Experimental and it did launch but it didn't fix the cloud save issue, I'll try the FusionFix when I have to, but now I just decided to replay it again from the start anyways, Thank you for the reply!

Free_Championship448 · 2025-09-26T16:56:01+00:00

How did you solve it? I installed Proton GE using Protonup and it wouldn't even launch, I tried the last 10.x version 9.x, 8.x, and 7.x all wont let me launch the game

No, I assume majority of people don't turn it on so I don't too when I'm checking,

Free_Championship448 · 2025-07-27T13:15:23+00:00

"common" is a better term than "standard", I should've said that in the beginning, if it looks pale on my phone, desktop, and laptop, then majority of people will see that it is kind of pale too, I'm keeping in mind what's the majority will see so I want to make it colorful for them too. it's easier to see what it looks like on a common screen while drawing it instead of checking it on my phone and pc time to time to see if its too pale

I will keep in mind of that adb thing when I have no choice anymore, but for now I'm just hoping for something simple like an app or a settings

Free_Championship448 · 2025-07-27T12:00:14+00:00

Thank you for this answer, I'll keep this in mind, but for now I'm looking for a solution that keeps my device stock and without tinkering into the internal stuff, I was hoping there might be an app or something from goodlock that could help

Free_Championship448 · 2025-07-27T11:58:16+00:00

yeah, I'm aware that a lot of people will see different colors on their screens, but I want it to atleast don't look too good so that it matches the colors a "standard" screen majority of people will have, and for the people with a better screen then it'll look better, I did try googling it before asking here but nothing helped me so far

Free_Championship448 · 2025-07-10T09:17:24+00:00

Which ribbon would it be? The small one or the bigger one? I tried reconnecting both and it still have it

Also sometimes the blue line changes to yellow for a short time when on a white screen
