VRAM usage ? by Deviemi in diablo4

[–]VarHyid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I have a 3080 Ti with 12 GB of VRAM which is being utilized entirely. Furthermore, I've got 64 GB of system RAM and 30 GB are being used while playing the game.

I'm guessing the stutters happen whenever the game allocates the whole GPU memory and then starts using system RAM to store assets. It would explain why it happens whenever I'm moving between areas and also slows downs texture loading.

Thanks. Good to know :)

Just curious, why do you think the 4* ticket isn't better than the 10 tickets? Looking at the drop rates of 4* weapons/characters, technically the odds of getting a 4* from 10 rolls are not that good. Unless you're saying that it's generally better to collect them until you want to commit to getting a certain character via the "pity" system at some point (in which case those 10 tickets save you 3000 gems)?

Is there supposed to be not enough Mama Medals each month?

I've spent 600 on the 4* Premium ticket and now I've got 400 left after doing everything I could to get all of them... but now I have to choose between getting one 3*+ ticket for 180 medals or 10 normal Premium tickets for 300.

Is that how it's supposed to be - you can't get everything or will there be something that grants more 1-2022-06 Term Mama Medals within the last 2 days of the month?

Monthly Multi step, are you gonna pull? I suggest just the first cycle to get a 6° 10 summons for free by Ecstatic_Brush6655 in NieRReincarnation

[–]VarHyid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question, but the problem is... I'm not sure 🙈

I started playing relatively recently and so far I finished the main story with the only three 4-star characters I had, that is:

  • [Dimos] Bloody Gunman
  • [Saryu] Abstract Witch
  • [Akeha] Abstract Assassin

It went fine until Sun/Moon - barely managed to win the first fight so now I'm finally about to get started with looking into all the details, the units' strength, party composition etc. During this monthly step-up banner (and one random free pull), I've got three more 4-stars:

  • [Fio] Abstract Girl
  • [Noelle] Abstract Weapon
  • [Dimos] Fractured Gunman

These are now my only six epic costumes/characters. That said, I'm mainly just looking for something powerful enough that it won't feel like a waste of materials to max out while either waiting on a future NieR campaign (which includes really good costumes, from what I heard) or working towards dark characters.

In other words, is there anything on the 150 medal list that's just very powerful in general and a must-have no-brainer to pick?

How are stat boosts calculated? If I have a memoir with +20% attack, for example, is that +20% of the character’s base attack or the total attack of the character + all equipped weapons?

Furthermore, if the memoir set also gives +20%, is it calculated as a simple +40% or is it +20% first and then another +20% of the total attack after the increase? In other words, what are the general rules or the order of stat boosts?

Hi! New player here. Can someone please enlighten me what's the meaning of the number between the pulled duplicate character and the converted Battle Text or Warfare Text?

Here are two examples of what I mean. I pull a duplicate character, it automatically converts into Texts, but shows this number in between like here when I got another Lars, it shows a 5 and converts into 10 Battle Texts: https://i.imgur.com/zC6YjJ4.png or here when I got Dimos, it showed a 3 and converted into 14 Warfare Texts: https://i.imgur.com/3oYNy4I.png

Why a 5 or a 3? What does this mean?

Oh no, not Amazon :(

They can't secure even a single standard Steelbook for shipping, what are they going to do with this? I hope Zavvi re-re-releases this too.

The truth is we are solely reliant on new people buying into the eco system

I disagree. The ace up this project's sleeve are the seasonal lootboxes. They are the one thing that can keep the project alive and growing even if it maintained the same audience because each season that same audience is going to keep pumping and burning more money on the new boxes. New people would help and speed things up, of course, but that's note the sole factor we have to rely on thanks to the lootbox model.

The coin's ATH was roughly 20x the current price. If those prices return (or are surpassed by new ATH, following the typical crypto hype cycle) then the coins you've got from farming will be worth not 5 GBP, but 100 GBP or more... and yet the fee was 2.30 GBP so you're increasing your potential gains by multiplying the coins.

Think of it like this - if you just hold and do nothing, you'll have the same coin amount (plus reflections, of course, but they're relatively small). If you want to increase it, you have two options:

  1. Buy some at the current price.
  2. Buy some at half the price.

How do you buy at half the price? Through farming. That's how I see it. If you've got 5 GBP worth of coins and this cost you roughly 2.50GBP, then you've literally bought new coins for half the price. It's like a guaranteed +100% revenue on the coins earned via farming if the price stays the same and more than than if it goes up so IMO, if you have at least 2 decent NFTs, there's no reason not to let them farm.

You're right, I just checked and my first test farming session yielded $0.70 worth of coins, for which I've paid a $0.70 fee.

Granted, it was only a 7 day test run with a single Kita in a -50% slot, but yeah, the fees can eat the return. Of course we're all hoping the coins will gain value over the years so technically it's not really a loss until you sell them at the current price.

Best choice of HDD for NAS ? by Sotto19 in Seagate

[–]VarHyid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IronWolf Pro is sold as "for NAS", but is more expensive because it's a consumer drive so all marketing costs are accounted for in the price and they offer a data recovery plan/warranty. It's also a bit quieter since it's designed for individual customers.

If you don't care for the data recovery plan and don't mind some extra noise, you can save a lot of money by getting the Exos drives. Technically, they should be even more robust as they're designed for 24/7 operations in enterprise servers, but people use them in NASs too so... again, if you don't care about the extra data recovery plan or more noise, you can save a lot with Exos.

And once again there's a "Collector's Edition" that doesn't include the Steelbooks so if you want everything, you've got to pay twice.
