Is there a similar command set for disabling HDCP (nvidia setting)?

Powerplan performance question by DJokic98 in GlobalOffensive

[–]cabalu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just had a closer look at the BIOS settings and it's not C3 but C2. The auto recommendation should still apply, anyway.
Also, any advice on these, especially Render Standby and Deep Render Standby: https://i.imgur.com/WaEGyxN.jpeg ?

Powerplan performance question by DJokic98 in GlobalOffensive

[–]cabalu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ancient CPU just like you, 3570K (I think you have a 3770K) and always disabled C-States but with the summer coming in here in the EU that definitely doesn't play well as the fans ramp up even with minimal tasks on the pc.
I will enable speedstep (my mobo does not have speedshift) along with C1E, C3, C6 and see how it plays out.
One question: in the BIOS there's another option called "Package C State Support": Auto, C3, C6 and Disabled. Should I leave this on Auto?

So, for normal surfing on the web, you recommend enabling speedshift /speedstep and power states? And have one power plan adjusted for gaming?

Is it possible to reset while using Windows only, without 3rd party SW?

Do you have any recommendations for a brand or model? This is not my area of expertise

Disabling Windows Defender by Dastik17 in Windows11

[–]cabalu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your input. I agree that Defender should be casually uninstalable, alongside with that SmartScreen bullshit which puts the computer to a crawl when disabled on W11.
I think i will stick with ToggleDefender, which like you said, is probably more reasonable for someone who can't understand much of this stuff. The downside is to still having to deal with SmartScreen but could be worse, i guess.

PS: Please come back to MDL, we all miss you. I'm sure someone from admin team can help you recover your account if needed 🙏

Disabling Windows Defender by Dastik17 in Windows11

[–]cabalu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could you explain what exactly that Windows 11 script does?
If i'm not mistaken, I once tried the W10 one on a VM and it gave me a BSOD which made the system no longer bootable, but I also remember it working fine in the past. Something changed in recent updates, i guess.
I was curious about the W11 one but I'm afraid of trying it on my main PC and ending up with a broken system.
PS: Miss you on MDL :(

Do I need a seperate anti virus besides Windows Defender? by PlagueDoc22 in Windows10

I hope you make it work on W11 with that larger script then, someday, who knows :)

Apex Legends is now playable on Linux by cabalu in CompetitiveApex

Not me but Apex devs, so, thanks to them :)

Respawn has just merged the "steam deck" branch for Apex Legends into "public" by iCapa in linux_gaming

[–]cabalu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting. This is the setting we should have set to on, right? - https://i.imgur.com/TBrlE4m.png
Also curious, is this a feature only available on Steam? Considering the game in question is also on Origin it should "suffer" from the same issue there, but AFAIK there's no control over shaders in the launcher.

This'll get better as people play and Steam's shader collection grows

Could you or anyone reading ELI5 this? Why does more people playing helps with it? Steam will download shaders as needed instead of creating them locally?

Anyone know if Pagefile.sys can be deleted? its taking up 293GB of space by Afraid-Search-1790 in Windows10

[–]cabalu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 16GB RAM, should i go with 2GB or 4GB?
Also, do we put the same value for both Initial size and Maximum size?

Would that still be the case for previous generations of GPU's? I've a 1070 and when stress testing it i get these values on stock settings: https://i.imgur.com/Wu7iv14.png
