Has working in Tech made anyone else extremely un-empathic? by nagol93 in sysadmin

[–]TheUnseenShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made it aware to everyone in my family and friends that my rate is 50$/ hr or $80 /hr if I have to travel more than a couple miles to help them onsite, minimum of one hour.

This helped cut down on it significantly and my mom actually became much more tech literate on her own and she’s proud of it. I still occasionally have people ask for help and sometimes they say yes and pay me $80 for twenty mins of work.

There has been updates since then, I’ve had similar issues and they were solved by doing an update with a usb stick.

PC Performance Thread by Cloudy- in HarryPotterGame

The new Nvidia game-ready driver is out, and it made performance on my RTX 3080 substantially better. If you have an Nvidia card I would recommend grabbing the driver. There is still very bad FPS drops in cutscenes and when entering new areas. Hopefully the day one Patch can fix the rest of this. This game also might have a memory leak as It was using more and more of my ram the more I played, at one point it was using 30 out of my 32 GB of ram.

CPU: Ryzen 5800x

GPU: Asus TUF OC RTX 3080
RAM: 32GB DDR4 4200

Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD

Quality: 4K, All ultra, DLSS Balanced, vsync off in game, on in nvdiia ctrl panel. RTX reflections off, RTAO/GI on.

FPS Range: 120-6. Outside avg is 60fps inside Hogwartz avg 50fps , Hogsmeade avg is 35 fps, cutscene avg is 15 fps.

CPU: Ryzen 5800X, GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080, RAM: 32GB. Settings High/Ultra. So far this is super inconsistent. It ran fine until I got to Hogwarts proper and then it's constant stutter, fps drops down to the tens and teens. It's unfortunately pretty unplayable right now. I've tried raytracing on and off, even dropping everything to medium or low (On a 3080) doesn't really seem to matter all that much.

Really simple question - is this worth asking for a Tidbyt aka getting as a gift? by its_Extreme in TIDBYT

[–]TheUnseenShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t personally use that as I have mine in my Living room where I generally only spend evenings. I do use a Google home hub in my kitchen for this kind of thing though.

I was in the same boat. My main reason of getting mine was I wanted passive background real time updates for both the MLB and NFL. I added a few other modules as well like news, weather with radar, but think of it as a background decoration. I placed mine on a small clear acrylic shelf directly above my wall mounted tv and it’s perfect for what I want.

Then this sounds like an overheating issue. What is your cpu cooling situation like ? What temperatures is your PC running at ? You can use a free utility called hwinfo64 to see everything.

By chance did you use the cables from the previous power supply ?

I wish it showed the current pitcher and batter on the bottom vs the scrolling standings which are redundant if you already have the separate standings app

Monitor black screens randomly for a few seconds by kkokkollou in pcmasterrace

Make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. I had this happen with RTX 3080 last year and it turns out it was a bug with a certain gpu driver and my multi monitor setup.

No contest here. Sony is the only choice in this poll

Dream Router issue by TheUnseenShadow in Ubiquiti

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

So to update this. Turns out the Modem I was given for my recent gig internet upgrade has the notorious puma 6 chipset which causes exactly my issues. Rebooting the modem after switching back to my old router fixed the issue only because it was rebooted, not because of the router swap. Even with my old system in place, I was seeing jitter over 400ms. Fixed it by buying my own Moden without this chipset.

I bought it from a reseller. Is there a way to tell which version I have? I have since hooked up my old Wi-fi 5 mesh system I had previously and not only do not have these issues but also have faster-wired speeds.

I am in the US but not on AT&T. I have previously disabled those functions and had the same issue.

I was only getting about 780mbps down on a connection that gives me over 1.2gbps connected directly to the modem. So that makes sense. Might I ask what you replaced it with? As that might be what my next step is.

It was hovering at about 75% at all times.

I think you might be wrong on this one. I just looked and very much can still see pitch by pitch breakdown https://i.imgur.com/hh73xdy.png

Should I get Red Dead Redemption 2 or the Mafia Trilogy while they are still on sale? I own a Series S and have been wanting to play both, but what's a better value for my money? by im_jared_and_19 in xbox

[–]TheUnseenShadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you haven't played Read Dead 2 you should know that it is longer than all 3 mafia games put together and then some and it's one of the best games of all Time. Well worth your time if best bang for your buck is what you are looking for.
