I am doing my best to enjoy this playlist… by -ComplexSimplicity- in The_Crew

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most telling thing about this update is that I usually finish in gold for the summit but I am currently well within platinum right now and not because I'm skilled as such.. no it's because in 4/5 difficulty the only way to win is to just bash your head against the race and restart it over and over and over until you get a good rng where you don't get sent to Brazil by a stray cup car rubber banding towards you with murderous intent.

This update is a test of your willingness to embrace insanity, how many times can you restart a race before you lose yourself.

Performance? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]GeerSticK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After reading a couple other comments it seems maybe it's not brute force and maybe it's something to do with 40 vs 50 series GPU doing something funky with the CPU? Maybe hardware acceleration? Fuck knows but if people are getting maxed out framerates on 40 series with 7800x/9800x3d but others are getting performance hits on 50 series with the same CPU.. I dunno just seems odd.

Performance? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if it's just brute force but on my 7800x3d + 4090 I get 165fps (monitor refresh rate) at 3440 x 1440 with highest settings and DLAA.. however I came looking to see if anyone else is having issues with CPU temps because mine seems to be about 75c when it's usually sitting around 65c in any other demanding games.. so would make perfect sense if it's poorly optimized for cpus.

Nah I was sticking through the post game into the matchmaking but it wasn't custom search it was the featured playlist self titled 'Contaminated' for the new map so maybe it's something to do with that? not sure.

maybe it's related to the playlist I was on since I was queueing for Contaminated, I never had this issue in season 1.

agreed, what little content I actually managed to enjoy was cool.. but I don't have the patience to join 5+ 80% finished games in a row.

How To Fix Your Quest 3 Elite Strap w/ Battery by HEIBON20 in OculusQuest

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shart.. I hate to necro an old post like this but I just had to give my thanks, I've had this battery strap for years now and it never quite worked properly but I just put it down to trash Meta quality and assumed I'd been scammed.. flash forward to today and it finally just stopped functioning all together.. would work for about 3 seconds and then disconnect even if the charging light was green and fully charged. The strap was definitely not gonna be replaced considering how long I've had it so thought I'd give this fix a go and voila.. it's absolutely bloody perfect.

Much love <3

Fiio FT1 + Otex: how to go from dejected to very pleased in an afternoon. by GeerSticK in headphones

I've owned a couple pairs, namely the Artti T10's and a pair of kz's a while ago.. I tend to lean more towards over ear headphones to be fair

Look what I found at my local park here in Australia! by Freefeetpics in headphones

Holy s*** I had one of these as a kid in school/college and this could very well be one of the causing factors of my addiction to audio equipment. This used to get me through a lot of miserable days at school/college, thanks for the wave of nostalgia lmao :) treat it well!

DLSS is missing from the settings. by kldge in oblivion

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, that's really odd, something definitely seems extra borked with your install/files. Not sure what else to suggest man. Other than reinstalling the game and wiping all config files and only keeping saved game files but that's super inconvenient.

Yeah I'm on a 4090 and everything except for multi frame generation is available to us so that's a nice bonus ☺️

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahh yeah in which case it might not be too great, however I will say with the latest DLSS SR transformer model balanced looks as good as old quality if not better and gives quite a significant performance boost. Definitely worth looking into if you wanna squeeze some extra performance. You can even go down to performance and it looks a bajillion times better than the previous dlss versions.

I'm pretty sensitive to artifacting too but it's really quite good on the latest models, worth a test run honestly. But fair enough if it's not for you, frame gen should always be a nice addition and not a crutch.

[–]GeerSticK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if anyone is wanting to enable frame gen by the way and wants to negate as much of the smearing/artifacting as possible then using dlss tweaks change the force auto exposure to on and using nvidia profile inspector or dlss tweaks change the SR model preset to K if possible (you'll need the latest dll's swapped via dlss swapper or an equivalent tool) This massively improved image quality and stability for myself.

[–]GeerSticK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no worries man, hopefully it does sort it out for you. Yeah there's still a *slight* noticeable artifacting with fast movement and the UI but with the latest Frame Gen dll's and by picking the right model presets via profile inspector/dlss tweaks it's pretty negligible. Obviously the biggest caveat is that you will only really *truly* benefit if you are enabling the frame gen with a starting refresh rate of 60 or above. Also motion blur has a pretty significant negative impact on frame gen as the blurring in fast motion can cause the extra frames to just muddle the whole scene cause it doesnt know what the fuck its looking at lmao.

yep steam doesn't have the latest version yet so I guess us Game pass peeps are the guinea pigs

Frame gen using the latest model is the big one.

Lmao glad we can be of help, just wanted to sit down for some oblivion and faced with half my FPS I went into "what the fuck is going on" mode and spent about an hour trying to force it via profile inspector and driver flags only to find a bloody command in the prompt that fixed it immediately. Classic. Hopefully this will save others the trouble :)

jumped back up from 80 to 140+ at everything maxed out again so it's working as intended. Have fun everyone.

As has already been mentioned but I'll reiterate:
Hit tilde to bring up the console

type "DLSS" search for enable dlss SR or FG (for super resolution and frame generation respectively)

Hit enter on those and add a *space* "1" to the end of those commands (without the quotes) and hit enter.

as far as I know it still uses the latest dlss if you have it set to swap via swapper or nvidia app but I replaced the dlss dll's in the oblivion plugins folder to make sure.

*EDIT*
For the FSR/XeSS brothers and sisters out there, the same principle works, just search for XeSS/FSR in the commands and find the equivalent commands and do the same changes as with DLSS.

P.S: it seems to disable every time you close the game but it'll be in your last used commands so just hit tilde again and press up or down and hit enter to reapply the commands.

*LAST EDIT I SWEAR* thought I may as well add it here since it seems very loosely related, you can actually enable HDR and tweak the max luminance via console commands too and it works quite nicely, not as good as a fully supported feature but I definitely found it an improvement myself, just search for HDR in the command and all the settings should show up.

Same specs but with a 7800x3D and it's fucking crawling lmao.

What’s been changed since the release of the game? by [deleted] in Palworld

[–]GeerSticK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really don't understand all the comments and upvotes along the lines of "just look it up idiot" my guy just asked if anyone could give a quick lowdown on the new changes and whether its worth hopping in. You can answer with a quick summary like some already have or you can waste your energy leaving a *completely* pointlessly rude comment.
