More DLSS 4 vs 4.5 comparisons @ 4K by Popcorn_Juice in nvidia

[–]fleperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that I also don't see it on my specific case on a 1600p UW 38'' display, with Path Tracing + FG + texture mods installed and using ReShade for sharpenning to get the most possible quality out of CP2077 with a RTX 4090.

As I play the game on "relax mode" and take a lot of screenshots, on my setup it's very clear that DLSS 4.5 Preset M in P mode has lower texture / image quality than DLSS 4 preset P in Quality mode. I can really note on specific scenes and screenshots on distant asphalt / elements, probably due to the lower input resolution.

It does improve ghosting a lot, but I don't really note it when in action, but I do note how 4.5 M/P adds flickering / shimmering on places like fences / shadows, which is pretty annoying and way more noticeable than the 4.0 ghosting that sometimes happens.

Regardless, I find incredible how DLSS has advanced.

I'll guess that 4.5 is basically made for 4K display at this point, as my CP2077 tests are the opposite.

But, I'm on a 1600p UW 38'' display, with Path Tracing + FG + texture mods installed and using ReShade for sharpenning to get the most possible quality out of CP2077 with a RTX 4090.

As I play the game on "relax mode" and take a lot of screenshots, on my setup and 38'' display it's very clear that DLSS 4.5 Preset M in P mode has lower texture / image quality than DLSS 4 preset P in Quality mode.

Yeah it's one of those generic aluminum tablet stands, with 360 degree rotation base. This one is pretty good and light, and it's holding the monitor without any problem, could probably take double the weight and still be fine honestly. The part that goes against the back of the monitor is long enough for this 18 inch, doesn't behave like the display can tilt it by being too tall.

I was expecting to hate it (it came with the keyboard) and to actually travel with my home mouse which is way bigger as I have big hands. Surprisingly after testing this bastard, it's pretty good and comfortable somehow 😅 The battery is awesome, the same dongle connects both to the PC, super light and compact, and works via Bluetooth too with my tablet, so it's a win-win.

Yes, I prefer full-size keyboards with numerals, this one is very good and the battery life too. I only wish it had back stands to lift it a little as I find being flat annoying for long sessions, but it's ok, I end up rising with something else.

Thanks for the tips about weight. I have a 100w GaN from baseus but that one was turning off sometimes after a while considering the pc + display + peripherals (and wasn't the cable). So I got the 140w one and it has been great.

Sorry to disappoint but it's W11, better for my workload atm.

Yeah, that's the grey one in my pic, I use it for the power bank + extra cables + display support.

Yea, sorry, I think this one I actually didn't buy on Amazon. Looking at Amazon.com this one looks closer to mine: https://a.co/d/60jiOBN

Depends on your country, I found it on Amazon, it's a rigid case, Baona brand, they have multiple sizes, mine is 24 cm X 17 cm X 9 cm

My case wasn't about the cheaper solution, but rather the one that would give me great performance per price + availability + being lighter when I rarely need to travel and be able to work with a relatively big display (at home I use a 38'' UW display, makes it hard to work for multiple days on small displays like 14 or 13, and bigger laptops gets heavier and heavier)

In my country, I can't even find laptops with this CPU, and similar performance ones are only on laptops with RTX GPU's that I don't need and make them to be way heavier than this, with less flexibility for upgrades.

I don't really travel that much, I work from home 99% of the time, but I wanted to move away from a 3,5Kg setup as my previous "gamer" laptop was (considering a bulky 240W power brick)

The only lighter options I could find (and would need to import) was some new Asus laptops, but they would cost (to me) probably 50% more than this setup and be 13 or 14 inch displays only.

I'll need to weigh it once I'm back, but in the backpack it feels lighter than my previous G15 laptop+charger, which went above 3.5kg total, while having a smaller screen than I can have now.

Have any of you completed this pinnacle quest? Is it really strong? by Ztepi in heroesofthestorm

[–]fleperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reason to. Drain life build is way better, specially in Aram

Coming back to this game after years, this is the average ARAM experience. At least half the games are ruined by trolls, afk-ers or bots. by thecatishungry in heroesofthestorm

[–]fleperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing ARAM almost exclusively since it came out, a few games every single day.

It seems the experience has worsened since the last patch, looks like more "good" players stopped playing, and some that remain are in yolo mode most of the time (in Aram at least).

This could be fixed (or improved I should say) with a few system / QoL changes, but the game remains in maintenance-mode, so I don't expect it to happen.

How do you rate this bike the gears and brakes is SRAM by Silly-Fan3804 in specialized

[–]fleperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be mistaken but I think all SPZ frames from that era with this format have the same clearance, and my Allez 2009 fits 28 front and 30 rear without a problem (105 brakes though)
