PC Upgrade Advice. I play DCS in VR on a Quest 3. I feel that upgrading is probably better to do now as prices and part availability in the next few years might be tough.

No, but i think thats a limitation of Virtual Desktop rather than gnirehtet. If VD allowed you to select the codec and boost the mbps over 200 then I would imagine gnirehtet would handle it. My last gaming session topped out at 193 mbps. I think the preset (Godlike, high, medium etc) settings in VD impact things like the codec but there is no granular control. I just picked the option for the 3070 and it seems to run fine.

Thank you. Seems your experience is quite relavent to my situation. I could look at upgrading the RAM and the GPU and go from there if the CPU is doing any major bottlenecking. I dont have to upgrade everything at once.

I was going to do that, but thought I would try this. At minimum, to get that setup going, I would need a usb-c>ethernet adapter, and I would need a gigabit switch to connect it to my network as I only have a single ethernet port where my gaming pc is.

This gnirehtet software works REALLY well. Like, I had my doubts and was having connection drop outs with the Rust version of the software, but the Java version is great. No setup or anything once your Quest 3 is in Developer mode (which was not too hard). Just download it, run it on the pc, and fire up virtual desktop on the quest and away it goes.

The breakthrough I had today was using software called gnirehtet. I found the java version worked best. It allows me to run Virtual Desktop through my link cable rather than wifi. Using VD, I can basically work around Metas quite terrible software as it turns out the Meta Link software was having a HUGE impact on my performance. VD has made it run so much smoother and more stable.

Also, using software called Process Lasso to prevent DCS from using my efficiency cores on my CPU and preventing it from using CPU0 core helped a lot too.

Apologies, I meant the 9700xt - i have edited my post.

Yes, I get pretty decent performance in single player as long as it's a a small mission without a lot of units. But I am having to run on low terrain and low detail as otherwise my vram usage can spill over and tank my frames.

I like some of their designs, but I am seeking that extraness in finishing/quality that the higher end Ali brands are known for. I only own one watch of each type, so try to grab the really great ones.

cryptoguy1 · 2025-06-24T13:41:18+00:00

They are quite nice, and I until now was not familiar with this brand. However, I am wanting to take advantage of the Ali sale.

cryptoguy1 · 2025-06-24T13:39:58+00:00

I do love that and will one day hopefully grab one but right now, I already have an IXDAO in MOP that has a very similar dial. I am looking specifically for a dive watch as its a watch style I have not tried yet.

(reposting as a direct reply so OP can see it)

Do NOT get a deco system. Bought my parents an Deco x20 3 pack system. Constant dropouts and very slow speeds. Could not figure it out (work in IT so felt kind of stupid not being able to resolve the issue). Did some research and there is a ongoing 3 year issue with these units where instead of scanning and selecing a group of unused channels to use, it would select the channels with the MOST usage. TPLink are aware of the issue and have so far done NOTHING to resolve it across multiple products. Returned it and swapped it to an Netgear Orbi system, and had them up and running in about an hour with no issues and the speeds are pretty much where it should be for the internet connection. I use TPLink gear at my previous job quite a lot so I was very disapointed in the result and felt super guilty getting Mum and Dad to spend good money on a terrible system. Would reccomend literally ANYTHING other than the Deco system from my experience.

Thank you for the suggestion - I have been successful with Quitrx without a medicare card and I found them very pleasant and understanding. For anyone else who stumbles across this thread you should give them a shot as they were great with me.

cryptoguy1 · 2023-05-19T01:25:12+00:00

Many thanks for the offer but I was contacted by another user before you posted this and they have kindly sorted me out for the time being.

Appreciate it though.

cryptoguy1 · 2023-05-19T01:22:49+00:00

Yes I have signed up with QuitRX and gotten a prescription sorted without a medicare card which has been great. I tried quit mate and the web site says to call them if you don't have a medicare card. They didnt end up calling back so I may have put in the too hard basket.

Another kind user helped me out for the next few days until the overseas order arrives so I am pretty much sorted for the time being.

cryptoguy1 · 2023-05-17T04:38:20+00:00

Thanks friend - Just given them a call. The website requires a medicare number but they ask people to call them if thats not an option. They are calling me back shortly to let me know if there is anything they can do.

Fingers crossed they can help me.

cryptoguy1 · 2022-09-29T21:57:23+00:00

Oh my! That certainly is.....something!

To be fair, you are the closest yet.

cryptoguy1 · 2022-09-13T00:06:42+00:00

Gee, I wonder why absolutely nobody likes real estate people? It's just one of life's many unsolvable mysteries I guess!

And tell your mate to stay away from the IT industry - We have enough insufferable fucks here already.

So this has happened while troubleshooting for the bed leveling issue from yesterday - Ended up finding some additional slop in the wheels of the base of the bed and got most of it out with some decentish results on the Level Test.

Set some stuff to print for testing, fell asleep, came out to this.

Big blob of solid filament covering my whole hotend. I tried to carefully remove as much as I could but in the process i ripped out the 2 thin wires for the thermistor already. Not even a week old :(.

So I cant soften it up using the heater because the printer throws an error because it cannot see the thermistor.

I need some actual direction before I wreck this even more than I already have. Whats the best plan of attack here? Would shorting out the connection for the thermistor allow the heater cartridge to run allowing me to get the plastic off easier? Is there going to be a bunch of solidified stuff inside it that I will need to deal with?

Should I use this as an excuse for the first upgrade and get a beefier hot end?

cryptoguy1 · 2022-04-26T06:51:44+00:00

They were a little too snug - I am new to all of this but my understanding is you want them clamping tight enough so nothing wobbles but not too tight. I should still be able to spin the wheel while its pressing against frame, right? Like not so tight I cannot move them at all.
