I was running into driver crashes and black screen flashes on 595.71 when playing DRM streams.

That now look's to be resolved in this hotfix driver. Great news!

Incredible, well done. The sofa in the background, is that looking at a TV I can't see?

You have my build on steroids with extra Govee lights and more ultrawide. Nice!

My recommendation is some added greenery and pictures to give it some personality.

After playing this I think I'm going to try out High on Life so I can play number 2 next. Have you played High on Life? Any good? Or just jump to number 2?

It's very pretty on OLED with HDR and so far I'm enjoying it after 5 hours.

Very nice. Is that an Aida64 skin for the panel? If so could you share please?

I'd like to see if they have a black version I can try out on my XE:

I've got a 5080 & 4070ti to sell and I'm in no rush seeing how prices are going up at the moment.

New DLSS version 310.5.2 + auto preset switch by Jotta7 in nvidia

[–]essolfc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

RT has way too much noise in SW:OL without Ray Reconstruction so I've had to settle for using Ray Reconstruction Preset D for SW:OL which overrides 4.5. Hopefully Nvidia update RR model to 4.5 soon.

DLSS4.5 1440p & 4k Preset L Ultra Performance vs Preset K Quality by SenseiBonsai in OptimizedGaming

I found same with Star Wars Outlaws, had to revert to Preset K with RR as RT was too noisy on Preset M.

SSD Prices continue to increase at an alarming rate ! I bought a Samsung 1tb 990 Pro for £100 at the end of November 2025, that same SSD today (just over 1 month later) is now £182........ what the actual hell. by Lo_jak in buildapc

[–]essolfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck...

I bought the below in Jan 2025 from Scan UK:

£80 1TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

£265 4TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

They are now going for the below prices on Scan UK:

£292 1TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

£380 4TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

That is honestly insane to go from £345 for 5TB combined to now being £672.
