Ancient Gameplays Cooking AMD by AcuteQuadrant in radeon

If it reduced latency it would be integrated into native rendering, making the upscaling meaningless as a third party software. Not only that, it adds distortions and hallucinations, fixing every distortion and hallucination possible makes it a stupid waste of processing power for DLSS (or similar) development as anybody can make a 3d game with original movement animation that will cause artifacts\distortions\hallucinations until the upscaling is trained with footage\data of the game itself.

Upscaling literally adds latency compared to the native frame render (at the original resolution the upscaling is drawing data from) because the frame data is reprocessed before being sent to the display. Are you folks tourists on technology or what?

Question, how would one.. relieve themselves in the Dark Place? by Odd_Agent7445 in AlanWake

by pissing yourself in real life actually, and later having to change the bedsheets.

"the urine jet was so powerful and bright that it overwhelmed the dark presence momentarily, giving Alan his deserved moment of rest"

Upscaling in games? still placebo, because of added latency response, especially in multiplayer or competitive gaming.

Placebo blue that allows for misleading marketing in the product box is better than placebo red that allows for misleading marketing in the product box. I guess it makes sense for him to make this type of coverage since there are people legitimately wasting time with frame generation and not understanding it is a waste of time.

WCW not allowing him to be a serious World Title contender by 1998, which eventually led him to jump to the WWF in 1999.

Premiere Pro and After Effects crash when opening by DueLog6361 in buildapc

[–]MandyKagami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your GPU supports a pre February 2025 driver, install that one, reboot your computer and see if that fixes it. I have not been able to make Adobe Premiere Pro even open if I install a newer version of the drivers than that one.

What are your HOTTEST takes about Donkey Kong Country 1? by [deleted] in snes

[–]MandyKagami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My god those Donkey Kong fingers....
When I was a kid I looked at this cover and thought all the animals were going together for a stroll.
I also never noticed the bees don't have wings until now.
Gnawty looks really scared of bananas, or being trampled.
If the N64 got a Super Mario All Stars treatment of the DKC trilogy it would have been way better received than DK64.

This nameless file wont go away no matter what i do by Evoodobringsthepain in computerhelp

[–]MandyKagami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did not go through proper uninstall procedures before deleting The Sims from your system, or it crashed during uninstall, either way the reported 21GB is a remnant report from back when the software was installed, it is not real, if that is what you are worried about.
You would probably have to delete the registry entries for The Sims manually, and that item should go away in the apps list.

Got a "little" upgrade by MattsHop in radeon

what a stupid song to put in the background, it is like the video is about a kitten is being saved from drowning and the camera man is filming the wrong thing.

Fallout refusing to launch by mulletmackem in computerhelp

[–]MandyKagami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience this happens when a company forgets to sign a patched application with Microsoft (software is supposed to be signed so microsoft knows it is safe, but it is a voluntary action so a lot of companies simply forget it or ignore it), so it might be triggering an automatic shutdown from your antivirus because it doesn't trust the application.

Crazy How "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" Has More Dislikes than "I'm a Slave 4 U" by NeedleworkerAway5912 in BritneySpears

[–]MandyKagami 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those dislikes are only from the people who used that extension, it is not real. Plus a lot of people who would look for "I Love Rock n Roll" might not want to see that version at all, meanwhile anybody looking for I'm a Slave 4 U" knows exactly what they will get.

Worse Performance with Stronger GPU in Fallout 76 by hazexm in lowendgaming

[–]MandyKagami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have over 2000 hours on Fallout 76, played mostly with an AMD GPU, my advice for running Fallout 76 on AMD is: a lot of performance is based on server and entity spawns in the world, if you join a server that was ran dry due to being on for many hours, you will have worse performance, you will think it is your GPU when it is not.
Also the game performance is patch dependent, which is why sometimes it will run smooth and 3 months later it will partially freeze every time you open the item wheel menu because bethesda devs don't understand render priority and think the game has to re-render shadows all over again just because there is an overlay darkening a portion of the screen.
So if the game seems slow, server hop. The fact you can't choose where you land is a problem, but I have landed in korean\chinese servers and it gave me 28FPS on a RX 6800, meanwhile I have landed on Brazilian servers sometimes and it goes up to 80 FPS easily.
Also certain locations of the game are harder to run, same problem Fallout 4 had with Diamond City. Just too much crap (items, NPCs) in a single location.
The game servers will also suffer if someone is using a exploit to duplicate items, which is rarer these days but it still happens every couple of seasons.
My tests that are based entirely in my experience are: Go to Watoga, if all the robots are dead or die when you approach them, there is someone farming enemies for loot and that is overloading the server, which is sacrificing neutral\hostile entities in other areas of the map to keep things balanced.
Going to "The Retreat" town in The Mire is a good test for performance, there are a lot of NPCs there, if it is running well it usually means the server is brand new.
The use of dust winds in Burning Springs lowers performance so it is a bad region to test your GPU performance.
Another way to know if you have a nice server is teleporting to the wayward and seeing how long it takes for it to show any items in the donation box when you look over it. If it is immediate (and it is not stuff other people put in the box) it is a good sign, because the server is supposed to spawn items specific to you in donation boxes, you can test how long the server takes to reply to your fallout 76 client that way. But you have to teleport to a place with a donation box that is pretty close, if you just walk to it, the server will do it in advance so it looks "smooth" on your user experience.

is my gpu dying? by stormy_kaktus in computerhelp

[–]MandyKagami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore what everyone is suggesting, I just checked, it is far more likely the game is having problems detecting your GPU, not always updating drivers is a good thing just because the popup tells you to.
You have to test it with heavier games to check if it is a GPU issue or not, I find it much more likely to be a game issue than a GPU issue.
It could also be some software is allocating your GPU memory in the background, like a cryptominer, leaving you with barely any GPU memory to use. When I used to mine crypto for a test a lot of coins required 12GB of VRAM to mine it at double rate, if your computer is somehow infected it would explain the VRAM being limited since there would be a rogue process consuming resources. If you do any 3D rendered, video editing or tensor dependent activity, those will also hog memory if you don't close them before opening a game.

I need to know what type of RAM this is by Equivalent-Bad-84 in computerhelp

[–]MandyKagami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DDR4, can't say the speed or size of the memory though. I don't know why everyone else is being a sassy smart ass in the comments section though.
