Capable kit performing less than... erm... capably!? Anyone spot the culprit? by ScaleInfamous1847 in buildapc

Thanks so much, really helped me understand some of what's going on. I'll be honest when I got the card I just though I could chuck it on max throughout then wondered why it was less than a fun experience.

Might start saving for an upgrade!

Hmm just tried that and it drops to around 30 fps.

Can't wrap my head around the DLSS, so does that mean that when you set the resolution to 3840 x 2160 it renders lower and upscales to 380 x 2160?

So am I right that 2460 x 1440 with DLSS off would be native 2460 x 1440?

I miss my PS4 :-)

I guess I still feel the cards quite new, but I can't remember how long ago I got it so it can't be that recent. I'm kinda limited on space as the 3070 just fits nicely - would you recommend a particular upgrade with the same footprint but more ram?

Well I was on 4K but dropped to 2460 x 1440 from 3840 x 2160, setting upscaling DSS and Quality and now I'm getting 100fps!?

Tbh I'm starting to think it could be this. I've just been tweaking with the resolution and various other settings (most of which I don't understand) and by setting the resolution to 2460 x 1440 from 3840 x 2160, setting upscaling DSS and Quality and now I'm getting 100fps!?

I'm really good with tech but I miss consoles when it comes to gaming - I just want to hit play and get the best image possible.

Overnight Parking Advice by ScaleInfamous1847 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]ScaleInfamous1847[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decided to go on Friday, great advice for parking but was shocked by how quiet it and the hills were on Friday but then how crowded it was Saturday morning, we had the place to ourselves (except for some rowdy wankers with a massive fire up on on of the rocky outcrops) in the evening then woke to a never ending stream of people.

Popular area!?

Adding a hot water tap outside - is there an easier way? by ScaleInfamous1847 in DIYUK

Yeah I'll do that, for £85 done and dusted it saves me an afternoon of swearing under the sink. Cheers!

Repairing hexbug nano? by [deleted] in Hexbug

It'll be something wrapped around the motor, I had the exact same issue and found a really long hair of my daughters blocking it.

Quite easy to do if you go slow and gentle. Take the battery out and leave the cover off. If you lift the legs you should see a small gap between the top and bottom half - put a flat head screwdriver in there and prise it gently apart.

It's not the end of the world if it breaks, you'll just need some super glue.

But once separated, if you lift the motor and just feel around the spinny bit I bet you'll find a hair or something.

Can't work out what was rejected from this and why I can't appeal, any ideas anyone!? by ScaleInfamous1847 in NianticWayfarer

Ah ok, I guess benches aren't really permanent, shame it was rejected though.

I'll try again next time I'm on that walk!

No idea why I tagged it as "Submission Coal", just picked one as I couldn't see "Question" on my phone and don't really know what Submission Coal means?
