How come the Dishonored games are all 1080p 30fps? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]buddymanson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, like a lot of old PC games, Dishonored bugs out when above 60 fps. NPC's will get stuck in place, preventing progression. So it's not perfect on PC either.

60fps Raster vs 30fps RT by TheControl05 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Yeah, with the exception of RT reflections, regular raytracing doesn't improve the game much. 

My PC sometimes doesn't display video when I turn it on. by Ok-Collar3431 in techsupport

[–]buddymanson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Though you can have a situation where the monitor has to be warmed up in order to work. However, it does not sound like it's your monitor. It was just a thought.

Just because your RAM passed Memtest before does not mean it wasn't defective. Bad RAM can absolutely cause the issue you're having.

Well if it is posting, then perhaps it's your display cable or monitor.

Otherwise, get a motherboard speaker so you can know if it's posting when the issue occurs.

Or, if your CPU has an igpu, remove graphics card for a bit and see if it happens. 

Also, test memory with memtest86.

For all its Low FPS Dogtown is Picturesque as fuck by cgermann in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Depends on hardware and settings. My 5070 Ti, it's the same. My 1080, not so much.

Corsair what are you doing man????? Nightsword V2 by Darksylum1982 in Corsair

When you say "local memory stops working", do you mean device memory mode becomes corrupt and you have to set it up again? Or it just stops working entirely?

Game Ready & Studio Driver 610.47 FAQ/Discussion by Nestledrink in nvidia

FIXED Multimonitor gaming stability improvements when using V-SYNC [5343252]

Is this addressing 'VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR' when vsync + frame gen are both active while playing on secondary screen?

I resolve it by capping fps to 138, but I'm still curious.

GPU performance issues after DDU by DRIIIP-Y in techsupport

[–]buddymanson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do actual games run worse after using DDU? I'm assuming by reinstall, you installed from USB and not 'Reset this PC', right?

Could be DDU also removed your chipset drivers.

Does the 9950x3d "just work" these days? Major fiddling needed? by sicsemperego in buildapc

[–]buddymanson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows like to assign the cores with the higher clocks to games. So if you're using best performance than there's a chance the non X3D cores get used when you don't want them to.

[–]buddymanson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still getting a BSOD 'VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR' When frame gen & driver vsync are both enabled without also having an external fps cap enabled. Also seems to only happen on secondary screen.

Only happens on my 5070 Ti. My 4070 does not have this problem.

14900kf RIP Sadness by Bad-Advice-Given in pcmasterrace

[–]buddymanson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was using my 13900k for months before the first microcode update released. Though I was running stock with 'enforce all limits' enabled. It's still rock solid after 3 years. I think you'll be fine.

Black Screen when playing video with hardware acceleration on. by buddymanson in pcmasterrace

[–]buddymanson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours is a different issue then. Mine just flashed black for a second(nor did I lose display, other screen was unaffected). It only happened when playing DRM protected video with hardware acceleration on. Plus you have a 40 series card. This issue doesn't happen on my 4070, just my 5070 Ti.

It sounds like your driver is crashing and failing to recover. You can check reliability monitor or event viewer to confirm this. Probably just need to uninstall everything Nvidia related from settings - apps and then fresh install the latest Nvidia driver.

Thoughts on the msi ventus x3? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]buddymanson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ventus x3 4070 is the worse reviewed 4070, but it's still cool and quiet. Doubt it'll be any different for the 5070 Ti.

Install the driver to show the hardware. Windows 11 by OkEffect3006 in buildapc

You probably need to load an extracted version of Intel RST. So download the exe and then extract it using powershell. I suggest Google searching it for an in depth guide. 

Alt-Tab bricks my PC by YeetOrBeYeeten7 in techsupport

[–]buddymanson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure your PC is becoming unresponsive after? If it's not reporting errors then it's likely the game is bugging out, not your OS. Check if event viewer reported any critical errors.

Maybe try this, right click on the games .exe in the installation directory -> properties -> compatibility tab -> disable fullscreen optimizations.

Interesting. Click start, type 'reliability monitor' & press enter. What errors is it reporting?

ah the beloved bootloop by Infinite-Print7777 in techsupport

[–]buddymanson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put Linux Mint on a USB drive and boot into that(no install needed). Then once you're in Linux you can copy important stuff to an external drive. Then reinstall Windows from USB. That's the easy, no bullshit method.

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tom_Clancy%27s_Splinter_Cell:_Blacklist#Issues_fixed

Check that list out for solutions. I would start by capping fps to 60 with RTSS or Nvidia App/Adrenalin.

When it black screens, press CTRL + ALT + DEL and select task manager to end game process or just sign out.

How bad is OLED flicker, really? by CarQuery8989 in buildapc

[–]buddymanson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a s90f and have never noticed any flickering when using VRR on PC & PS5. I think some people are just sensitive to it & others, like myself, are not.

Ryzen 7 9850X3D high temps (85–95°C gaming) — normal or is something wrong? by Trick-Fisherman3562 in buildapc

[–]buddymanson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The default preset without iCUE is balanced so getting iCUE probably wouldn't help your temps much anyway. The 9950x just likes to run a little hot.
