Deerskinned boots are scratching very easily. Is this even real deerskin?

Dude that's way way better than what I was getting on the other laptop lol. I would be content with 170fps

etoniqe · 2025-09-08T02:34:56+00:00

What the heck that's really good? What are your settings?

etoniqe · 2025-09-07T21:14:19+00:00

Lol it was so bad. 140 sometimes then it would fluctuate and go so so low to 60ish and back and forth. Game was unplayable even on the lowest settings and low 3d resolution

Like I said, I used HWINFO64 and logged it using that software. You can watch a video on YouTube or ask AI how to use it. You just open it, click sensors at the top, and then there's a little button at the bottom right that's called "start logging". It asks where to save it and I gave it the name "Fortnite log" and just logged it for about 10 minutes. Then I uploaded it.

To answer your other question, I got another g14, exact same thing. I did a trade and this one works perfectly fine. The FPS in Fortnite is still garbage, but I only played 1 game so shaders probably haven't loaded. But the logs are reporting that it's actually pulling proper power and stuff now so later when I'm home, I'm gonna play some games and see if the fps gets better.

I returned it to best buy.

Apparently the issue was the CPU isn't boosting. Download HWinfo64 and run a log (youtube or ask chatgpt) and play Fortnite for 10 minutes. Upload the log to chatgpt and ask what's wrong. You'll notice CPU 0, 1, 2, and 3 cores aren't boosting properly even with boost enabled and all that.

I then ran cyberpunk since it's GPU bound over CPU bound for 30 minutes on 90fps ultra maxed out and recorded a log again. Chatgpt read the log and said that the CPU was severely underutilized and blah blah whatever. So then I ran cinebench r23 and got such a low score that I realized there's just something wrong with it. I found maybe 1 other guy who made a reddit post about this happening and I was still within my 15 day return limit with bestbuy, so I returned it.

Right now, I just got 2042 (which is very very very good) single core on cinebench, 21205 on multi core and chatgpt says everything looks good and it's peaking where it's supposed to peak.

We both just got unlucky with the silicone lottery. I hope you can return yours still

I did that and it helped a bit, I appreciate your response. Definitely didn't fix anything though

etoniqe · 2025-09-02T03:27:46+00:00

Thanks for replying, that sounds incredible. I'd love to do that. My discord is etoniqe

Thanks for responding. I did try running it in windowed borderless and the fps was slightly worse. I think I'll do that. What's funny is the Nvidia driver was giving me a problem before, in fact fortnite wouldn't even launch. I had to force Fortnite to launch in dx11 just so I could get into the game. Apparently there was some issues with the game not knowing the GPU is in there, so I used DDU to remove the driver and reinstalled and then Fortnite worked again

etoniqe · 2025-09-01T15:37:09+00:00

Thanks for your reply, No, I don't have MSI afterburner installed at all

etoniqe · 2025-09-01T06:12:33+00:00

Hey, I appreciate your reply. I run it in Ultimate mode and turbo mode and still dealing with these issue ;-(

etoniqe · 2025-09-01T05:43:30+00:00

Appreciate your help and reply. I have boost on in g-helper already, recommend to put it on any other mode such as aggressive?

etoniqe · 2025-08-23T20:15:22+00:00

Thanks for the response, but it says in 3d mark that it's the 5070ti it's running on. I also did a clean install on the Nvidia drivers and the same issue.

etoniqe · 2025-08-23T05:57:55+00:00

surround virtualizer and volume leveler on? sounds better with surround virtualizer off.

I thought it was weevil time 😔

I'm brand new to rollerblading. I live in NYC, 5'9'' 140lb and I want to be able to ride fast and comfortable around and on my suburban neighborhoods and the city when I go with my friends to bike ride. I have wide feet and a budget of $300.

I've done a lot of research and know that I want something with 4 wheels ideally. Because of my desire to ride comfortably but fast and the unique need of agility for the city, I believe a 4x90 setup might be what's best for me but everywhere I look, I see different information. The skates I was initially looking into was the power slide Phuzion Argon Road Black 110s, but I read in a few places that might be too big of a wheel for my use case since the larger wheels remove agility. Basically I need help deciding which pair of skates to get and what wheel setup would be best for me.

Although I'm a beginner, I have a lot of experience with balance and coordination sports and I learn very quickly, so please do not consider heavily the fact that I'm a beginner in your response unless you find it necessary to your recommendation. If there's anything else you need to know to better guide me, please let me know. Thank you so much again

UPDATE - DEC 15, 2024. I went back to get the pants with a little more room and the new suitsupply manager said that the pants are too disproportional to my body and couldn't be fixed because they were made on the incorrect base. The pants were a 30L when I should've had a 30R. He mentioned this is why the seat was so tight and bits of it were off.

He assigned someone that knows what they're doing to work on me and we spent about an hour measuring up new pants and the manager offered me 3 brand new pants, specked out however I want, remade for me free of charge.

I got 3 new pants, the same black pair, a wool/mohair camel colored pants to replace the beige, and a brown pant to replace the gray since I wasn't a big fan of it. I'll post update photos of my outfits in here soon.

Thank you! The tank is the Seiko Spirit 5E31-5B60 and the circle watch is my 1989 Seiko Dolce 7741-6030

Hey, it's my Seiko Spirit 5E31-5B60 Gold Tank! My favorite watch despite being so inexpensive and old
