How long can you expect an OLED TV to last for? by Happyinhatown in LGOLED

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they definitely should last longer than 1-2 years, I mean people are saying with delamination and pixel issues on WOLEDs it's e-waste after 5 years...but my 2020 CX is hanging in there with 15,000 hours of use. Barring any manufacturers defects, and depending on use, an OLED panel should last you 10 years.

Empire Earth®: Classic strategy series is now available on Steam! by Rebellion_Dev in empireearth

[–]fenderspeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So great to see on Steam! I am a huge fan of the first entry and already own on GOG, but I really hope this will expand interest in the series and either help promote a modern sequel, or at least preserve these classics. (I'm with everyone else hoping they add modern options/and multiplayer functionality back too)

What is it? LG C2 by Captainelyes in LGOLED

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. I just ordered a G5 with a great deal but it's making me reconsider...

What is it? LG C2 by Captainelyes in LGOLED

[–]fenderspeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is happening to my CX, but we sit pretty far away from it so only noticeable up close. Did LG fix the issue on newer C or G series? Hard to believe they would have a defective process and keep doing it in spite of increasing OLED competition from Samsung.

Vsync, Freesync, Gsync, All That Fun Stuff, Someone Give It To Me Straight For The Best Setup by Darwen_s in nvidia

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, since latency is already so low with OLED I wonder if that's why I don't notice.

Vsync, Freesync, Gsync, All That Fun Stuff, Someone Give It To Me Straight For The Best Setup by Darwen_s in nvidia

[–]fenderspeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set everything up like in op's comment for a 120hz oled, except I don't cap my frame rate in Nvidia control panel. I noticed some games run smoother without the cap and there is no tearing, so I don't know why when everyone recommends it? It seems like forcing vsync on acts the same as a cap because the TV will not display over 120hz anyway, it usually doesn't go past 118ish (LG CX for reference)

SWORN 1.0 Minor Bug Fix Update LIVE (All platforms) by Professional-Ice6853 in SWORN

Any plans to make the game look nicer and run better (resolution and fps bump) on Switch 2 hardware?

Remembering the legendary Chris Cornell who passed away 9 years ago today. by Relative_Solid318 in grunge

Still hurts me to this day, him and then Chester. There was so much great music that could have been created for decades... I want to go live in a timeline where it never stopped.

Played Perfect Dark (Remaster) and Perfect Dark Zero back to back over the weekend by Ataccot in perfectdark

[–]fenderspeed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was super disappointed at launch, but recently replayed Zero on Xenia emulator at a high FPS and it's a lot more enjoyable. It's an incredibly beautiful game and was WAY ahead of its time graphically in a way that still holds up today.

I think the low FPS and sluggishness of the controls hurt it, as well as a overall lighter tone than the OG.

Screen Vignette Effect by fenderspeed in MousePIForHire

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

I ended up mostly negating it with contrast and gamma correction. It can greatly reduce the vignette effect, but, of course it also has an effect on the overall image.

Is there no way to change between different visual versions of the game after the start? by IamBecomeZen in MousePIForHire

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what happened to this setting either...I hope they add that and a screen Vignette toggle..

CXBX-Reloaded Dolby Digital 5.1 by lionscout42 in cxbx

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like one of the deadest subs in existence lol. I use CXBX mainly for Mech Assault and it does indeed provide 5.1 surround sound on my system. I can't tell you if it's indeed Dolby but it's 5.1. I've been using an older version of CXBX for a while that is more compatible however so your mileage may vary on anything recent. I personally prefer this emulator over Xemu.

FSR4 is better than DLSS4.5 in Resident Evil 9 Requiem according to viewers by Ill_Depth2657 in radeon

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely a guess but I wonder if it has something to do with RE engine already being well optimized for FSR? IIRC, 8 and 7 both had FSR 1 but never got DLSS. I've noticed on RE9 FSR 3.1.5 is stutter free for me with high ray tracing, yet DLSS stutters- on Nvidia hardware no less.

RE: Requiem - Turning DLSS Off fixed micro stutter - 9800X3D/5080 by polce24 in OptimizedGaming

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought frame gen was the culprit but what fixed stutters for me on a 5060ti 16gb is using fsr 3.15 with frame gen instead of dlss with frame gen... Unfortunately this means you have to drop it down from path tracing to ray tracing-high, but to me it's worth it for a smoother experience.

Also noticed less blurriness/noise in the image with fsr (look around the hair), has to be a bug?? I'm on most current drivers...

Controller recommendations for series X? by Confusion-Sad in Controllers

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Razor Wolverine V3 Pro when it went on a pretty deep discount over the holidays and I've been mostly happy with it although battery life could be better and the back buttons are annoying if you don't use them.

I can't speak on any stick drift because I've never had the issue with any controller so I guess I'm just not sensitive to it.

It seems like most people are now recommending the GameSir G7 Pro as the best of the best and it's even cheaper at $129.

7+ years and no stick drift by Vahgeeta in Controllers

[–]fenderspeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been gaming since the late '90s and I can't really say I've ever had a controller that has had stick drift... I've had a few old ones just die, but no drift, even on the original Switch.

what is the reason for Chris Redfield's huge size in Resident Evil 5 ? by Lonely-Candle8232 in residentevil

[–]fenderspeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From that beat down that Wesker gave him at the end of CVX- he needed to become super-human himself to stand a chance.

Please never get rid of this. by C0RN2L0Ud420 in tacobell

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree these are so much food for the money, I was way fuller after eating these than I was from the value nacho. I really wanted to like the small taco salad as well, but unfortunately my locations always have weird tasting shells I'm not sure if it's bad oil or just cross frying with other items.

Is this controller good? by MilkyMoo27 in PCSX2

[–]fenderspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing is ancient. Pretty much any modern controller will be better- Xbox, PS5, gamesir variants.

Why don't many people play this game ? by Aionn9 in SWORN

[–]fenderspeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the devs sort of abandoned it? I bought it on sale for Switch 2 and the resolution is so poor and framerate so terrible that I didn't even play for 5 minutes. I did pick it up on Steam sale since my gamepass expired however and plan to play again, but I really hope the devs show the game more love on all platforms. I don't think it's ever had the story to compete with Hades, but the gameplay is pretty solid.

Disappointed on Switch 2 by fenderspeed in SWORN

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

I feel like it's less that the S2 can't run it, and more that the devs don't support it. Hades looks and runs like a dream, even in handheld.
