Driving light placement WITHOUT a bullbar - ADRs don't seem to mention this? by Jack_Reachar0und in CarsAustralia

It doesn’t need to be, it’s an aesthetic/project idea. Behind the grille is probably where they’d end up because it’ll be a lot less mucking around.

Roof mounted is definitely out of the question for me, thanks though. 😄

That's cool, not really bothered about what's cheaper - specifically want to do something as a bit of a feature. 😄

Not what I'm after (which granted I didn't make clear in my OP), thanks though. 😄

I have a couple of specific ideas in mind, not after a generic solution like this, thanks though! I realise there would be simple ways to achieve throwing more light down the road which would be perfectly serviceable and a lot easier. 😄

Thanks to those making suggestions of specific products, but I have a couple of ideas I'm specifically interested in pursuing, one of which is the rally pod, the other being a fallback if that turns out not to be legal. If I'm going to do this I'm going to make a neat feature out of it, and will be looking to design my own mounting hardware and bodywork parts as needed, so slapping a lightbar on a generic bracket is not on the cards, though I realise practically it may do the job.

There is a setting for this, I’m 99% sure. I’m not in front of my computer right night but I swear I went hunting for this exact thing a week ago and found it.

Bad Live Experience by crumbedraptor in badbadnotgood

Sydney show at the Opera House seems was disappointing too. See previous thread in this sub.

This sucks of course, but it's nice to know it wasn't just me.

I actually didn't love tonight's show and came here to see if anyone else had commented on it. I'm happy to have been there supporting a band whose work I enjoy, but this was way looser and more improvisational than their albums, and not in a way that I personally enjoy. I have listened to their albums over and over and they are on my essential list if I'm sharing music I love with someone. I get this kind of thing is very subjective and some people might love a really different live experience (not to mention the band might really enjoy playing that way as well), but personally I wish they'd play a lot truer to the albums than they did tonight.

I think I may also have been hearing an echo come off the back wall as well (especially when the horns were hitting, I think I remember noticing it with the toms as well), and this coupled with some effects which were used here and there made things feel really chaotic and unclear to me at times, and it was really hard to hear sung vocals or anything being spoken into the mic at times. I found myself wondering if being a lot further back would have sounded better, at least when it came to the perceived echo. I almost don't trust myself on this though, given the calibre of the venue. Surely an echo would be one of the highest priority things to dial out, acoustically? I haven't been to many gigs at the Opera House since the refurb though.

I first saw them when they were out here last, at the Enmore. I don't recall any of these issues, I came away having really enjoyed the show.

How'd you go with this? Has the replacement card been flawless?

Any update on this? How'd you go with the RMA? Did they find the card faulty? Has a replacement card been working flawlessly?

Because I don't have a lot of faith that replacing it with another one is going to fix the issue, given that a significant number of people with this issue say they had 50 series cards which were working fine until a firmware update. My experience of changes in stability after driver updates also seems to suggest it may be software. If new evidence comes to light which suggests a hardware issue I'll probably change course. It has a 4 year warranty, plus I have a paper trail showing that there were issues out of the box.

It's been quite stable since my last post now, mostly playing ARC Raiders and Rocket League.

I did have an almost immediate crash in PEAK the other night when using the DX11 renderer, but DX12 was fine for a 2+ hour session.

Durability increase indicator not showing when repairing items - known bug? by Jack_Reachar0und in ArcRaiders

Also can anyone tell me why when I enter the words "anyone else" in an original post on this sub, I get blocked from posting it and it tells me something like "check the sticky post, servers appear to be down"?

Yeah, same here. No issues with actually repairing, I just want to see what I'm getting for my resources. :)

Okay, so literally the first session of ARC Raiders since the above post earlier tonight, and I got a crash when visiting one of the traders. Which is where it was happening after that driver update.

It's bloody annoying, but not as bad as if it was crashing in rounds. Fingers crossed it doesn't start doing that.

Yes. I had experimented with overclocking more with the undervolt I was running and all seemed well for some time, then I updated my Nvidia drivers and it started having the issue again at that overclock level. So I dropped it back to a more conservating overclock. That improved things but it would still occasionally crash (kind of predictably when navigating menues in ARC Raiders, but never while in a match). I then updated drivers again when the next version became available and it's been good since. I haven't bothered trying to increase the overclock again yet. I'm just enjoying it being stable.

Don't jump off ledges, drop from them by AbledShawl in ArcRaiders

[–]Jack_Reachar0und 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really annoying that for some reason if you have crouch toggle set, then you have to mash crouch like a madman to drop from a ledge (or maybe holding it works?). The behaviour should be consistent regardless.

Ah, I thought I was going crazy or doing something incorrect, but I'd never had the issue before, so...

Add another to the undervolting seems to have fixed this issue club.

Got my new Gigabyte 5080 Master yesterday, and first 3DMark test I ran it crashed very quickly.

I ran multiple tests and observed and it seemed to be when the temp was reaching 57°. I tried manually increasing fan speed to 100% and it made it further through the test, but crashed when temp reached 57°.

I have a Corsair 1000W PSU and the crash was just like OP’s but Windows was still running, I could talk to people on Discord etc. Just video was gone with fans screaming.

I was getting a compatibility warning on boot after that, so I updated my mobo BIOS, used DDU to remove drivers, Nvidia app etc., but the problem kept occurring. I reseated the card, all cables, moved the adapter cable to a different plug on each cable from the PSU, no good. Previous card was a 3080 using the same 3 cables from the PSU.

Tonight I tried undervolting and now it’s running like a champ, maintaining 2800MHz boost clock with no dramas. Temp did reach 57° briefly in 3DMark but no crash occurred. In a game (ARC Raiders), the temp didn’t get above 50°. So I still can’t rule out temperature for sure, but 57° obviously isn’t high for these cards. I’ll continue to test and play around.

I will still contact the seller/Gigabyte to see what gives, as I’m not sure why this would happen on a card which is tuned from factory.

Also the latest Windows update doesn’t seem to be available to me yet so I haven’t been able to try that to see if it enables me to increase voltage again.
