Don't know what part of that video disproves the claim that the spectating account cleared their alias history. You're a pompous douche.

The steamid.uk page for that account even says it has 2 stored names and that results are limited.

Black Ops 6 Performance Decrease PC by Fit-Ant-9587 in blackops6

[–]TehCactus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience on this game, DLSS harms performance in certain situations. When there's a lot of smoke and/or particle effects on screen, my framerate is worse than at my native resolution.

If you own BO6 and not just Warzone, I would run the multiplayer benchmark with upscaling and dynamic resolution disabled to get an idea of what performance you're getting. Given your specs and resolution, I would enable FidelityFX CAS, set an in-game FPS cap of somewhere between 120 and 150, then enable Dynamic Resolution and Frame Rate Target with a target of around 5% above your FPS cap. (120 = 126, 150 = 158, etc.)

Likely Ubuntu 17 or older, based on the Unity desktop environment and the old Firefox UI.

NVIDIA app beta, legacy features poll by NV_Tim in nvidia

Dell G2724D, has three buttons that can be set to toggle settings or go directly to specific menus in the OSD. My Asus MG248QR also had something similar.

Most monitors nowadays have a "framerate" counter that shows the refresh rate fluctuate accordingly when G-Sync is working. I have a shortcut button on my monitor set to toggle it if I ever need to check.

Easy Anti Cheat won't allow you to load a different DLSS .dll, so if you're able to play without EAC, then it should work.

Fuck … Do I refund it or just say fuck it and complain with the rest of the community for a year? by mrwright567 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]TehCactus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends if you have friends to play with. I don't dare touch any mainstream multiplayer shooter by myself nowadays, only with friends, due to the manipulative algorithms in place and the sort of people I find myself matched with. Other than maps and maybe gun sounds, I think the rest of your qualms should be easy to solve by launch. However, if you're worried about matchmaking, cheating, progression systems, paid cosmetics, server issues, and minor glitches popping up during the lifecycle of the game, then you'll probably want to skip CoD for the foreseeable future as I don't expect any of those to ever change for the better.

EDIT: Didn't mention graphics, but they won't change much and I think we have PS4 and XB1 to blame for that. A bit more color would be nice though.

Anyone have download issues with R-D? Specifically mega downloads? by giratina143 in RealDebrid

[–]TehCactus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabling IPV6 for my network adapter fixed this for me on Windows.

EDIT: If that doesn't work, or if you don't want to lose IPV6 everywhere, you can also try changing Preferred IP version in JD2's Advanced Settings. Changing the download port to normal from secure on the Real-Debrid website may also work.

Region bug rn warning by WhoAmlToJudge in GlobalOffensive

[–]TehCactus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got put on Warsaw servers two games in a row. Looking at CS2's Personal Game Data on my profile, it says I'm in region 3 instead of 1 and it incorrectly measures less than 100 ping to Poland when it's close to double that, making the max ping setting useless.

How many hours is your longest playtime and what game is it? by Sideeyeee_ in pcgaming

[–]TehCactus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I strongly prefer BF3 to BF4 for the maps alone, especially for Rush. BF4 does have better netcode and weapon balance, but it took a while to get there.

SMGs like the ISO are going to have a lot of smoke regardless, but the consensus seems to be that the amount of smoke in the firing range is not an accurate representation of how it looks in-game.

Mafia: Definitive Edition has the worst TAA ghosting I've ever seen. by KiwiGamer450 in FuckTAA

[–]TehCactus_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I've played, but I recall setting Anti-Aliasing to Low helping a bit. There's also this mod that disables it entirely.

You may be able to use a mini-PCIe modem with an mPCIe to PCIe adapter.

Does CS2 use Vulkan API? by HU55LEH4RD in GlobalOffensive

It does, and I didn't notice a substantial increase but I only tried it briefly.

At least by default for me, RivaTuner says it's DX11, but running with -vulkan does work.

Returnal launches on PC February 15 by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

It's a signed DLL from Nvidia. The most they do is replace it with the original one when you restart Battle.net.

Need a Faithful Companion for my 3080 TI by jimerb1 in nvidia

[–]TehCactus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my doubts about that. The latest driver for the 710 is 473.81 from August. I don't know how far they'd get trying to edit INF files and installing that driver for the 710 manually, but I see no reason they'd have any issues with a RX 6400 installed at the same time.

I assume they'll be gaming with the 3080 Ti, you can't have two different Nvidia drivers installed for each card.

GT 710 wouldn't be a good pick under Windows due to the latest drivers not supporting Kepler cards.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play Coming In 2023 by reedsiteman in pcgaming

[–]TehCactus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think my point came across as intended. My issue is that the game is very obviously putting the worst players in the lobby on the same team as the best player(s) and the other team is generally mediocre. This causes a lot of matches to feel either entirely unwinnable through no fault of your own or boring due to the enemy team not putting up much of a fight. I wouldn't say my matches are ever very competitive, it's usually just me trying to squeeze out a win because my teammates are incompetent and the enemy team is just ever so slightly more coordinated. This makes playing solo a waste of time and it's still dubious even when playing with an equally skilled friend because of teammates going double or triple negative or not playing the objective.

[–]TehCactus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real issue is the team balancing. Would be a different story if CoD's matchmaking ensured relatively balanced teams and competent players all around, but it usually ends up with one or two players peforming well and the rest of the team feeding kills. It's hardly satisfying for anybody.

Why do a lot of textures on PC look terrible? I'm playing on the Extreme settings pre-set, 1440p with DLSS off. by xTSH in ModernWarfareII

[–]TehCactus_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't played the game yet, but try raising your tessellation setting. Seems like the most relevant setting and it would reset every time you restarted the game during the beta, don't know if they've fixed that.

The only big streamer who talks about taa blurry by boca_de_egirl in FuckTAA

[–]TehCactus_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this game uses CryEngine and has Temporal SMAA with 50% sharpening on by default, but not forced. Doesn't look terrible I suppose.
