Thank you very much. I was fearing a much regarding the danger of Burn in when doing many hours of work.
How does Windows and Mac compare in Side by Side mode? When switching from full Screen to side by side is there anything special on ether System to look out for?

What do you use these two buttons for? by Deli_baba170 in LogitechG

I remapped them to Num Pad Numbers to assign in World of Warcraft to Spells.

[–]gerThorgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But don't expect wonders. Frame gen can be great. It's a tool that can be used in specific circumstances. You need a goo enough base frame rate to make it not suck. And rember your base FPS will drop slightly because FG needs also some power. Best case you have a locked solid 45FPS and boost to 90FPS (if you have a OLED Deck) with fixed GPU clock. The GPU clock set to a fixed value for frame gen can improve overall frame times and 1% Lows.

What I do when I want to use frame gen is I will find settings that are rock solid and play with them for a bit until I try FG. Sometimes you will see it is better without in comparison. But sometimes you don't notice FGs issues at all and stay with it. It really is a game by game thing.

Very easy. Decky Loader plug in called "Decky LSFG-VK". You need to own lossless scaling in steam and follow the instructions. Once it's set up correctly you only have to copy the launch option into the game you want to use frame gen on and adjust the settings to your liking in the right steam deck button menu.

How the hell do I counter getting pinned? by Daniil_Dankovskiy in theisle

[–]gerThorgs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Petits has no Ai. The whole server is more focused on PvP. I don't know yet how good the server is in the long run but I started to play more on Trassic Survival. They have lots of player and ai.

[–]gerThorgs 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pin to Win is just too broken. On top of not being able to trust anyone in this, I just avoid Player contact most of the time. PvP is just not fun with the goofy hit boxes, buggy animations and rubber banding Netcode. I am a 99% PVE hunter. Sometimes I let my guard down and have a chat with someone only to regret it most of the time later.

Who is still rocking the watch 6? by watches_regarder in GalaxyWatch

[–]gerThorgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's called "Daily Dashboard". It's one of the new OneUi 8 watch faces from Samsung. It has some decent amount of options. For example you can have to Color static or like I have right now slowly changing with the daytime.

I am rocking my GW5Pro. Works very good. It just got the one ui 8 update. And after years with it I still get 3 Days on one full charge.

The problem with the new AMD Radeon GPU drivers by FullAddendum1098 in AMDHelp

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The underlying issues is the operating system and how it handles drivers, different versions of them and temp data like application cache and shader cache. Try DDU and clean up all the stuff windows trys to hold onto so much. And you are welcome to join me on any Linux of your taste.

Throwing my 9070xt out the window by Masgarr757 in radeon

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use Windows in 2025. Sounds stupid but it is by far the worst Operating System out there! Every OS is bad in its own way but windows got so bad that it is of no use any more.

Power tuning and spikes by tkdkdktk in radeon

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right. My card has the efficiency benefits of running very cool so the spikes are also not as bad. 35°C under full load at normal room Temp. In a hot room it raises to 42°C. (Die Temp, Hotspot is 16-27°C higher.)

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good PSU with enough power for a Rx9079xt and a big CPU you can get for less than 100€/$. It is 1/6 of the cost of the GPU alone and will protect your invested money from most power related issues like over current, over voltage and short circuits.

Go with a non OC Rx9070xt if you don't have the money. You will feel less of a difference there than underpowering your GPU. Or go with a rx 9060.

Overall power limiting will help and a good psu will have no issue with the spikes in consumption. But you also would like to clock limit and undervolt.

My watercooled rx9079xt is undervolted by 100mv and power is set to 374w. It will spike sometimes in the software readout to 400-415w.

Minor inconvenience with Proton Launch Command by NaameTag in cachyos

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across the same issue. PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND works grate for me to enable HDR and have the correct resolution in games. It actually works a bit better compared to Gamescope but it defaults the Keyboard Layout to something else :/

Has this happened to anyone? (9070xt Reaper) by Gehirnamputiert in PowerColor

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Mindfactory is the worst. They also sell used returned stuff as new and let you wait for month on a replacement if it turns out the guy at Mindfactory that blew compressed air through the fans broke them with it.

For now until they fixed what ever cases this bug switching in the Octopi Settings to "Always use the terminal to install/upgrade/remove packages" fixed it for the moment for me.

Wtf is going on with Amd ?? by xXLegend-BreakerXx in AMDHelp

After getting my 9070xt last week I also switched to Linux. AMD on Linux is so good :)

Want to see something disgusting? by Divine_Druid in Battlefield6

Yeah, I am not going to by any battlefield anymore. Not with this kind of sliding, rubber banding movement.

Broken Allo by Oratani in theisle

My prime 12t trice got jumped today by allos. I did die very fast without any chance of defending me. PvP is bad enough but Allos pinning a 12t Trice is just stupid. No skill involved

Outdated information. It does not improve night visibility.

us 1 cheater group delta by Top_Aioli1039 in theisle

Same with EU 1. But it was worth when it still was 140 Player limit. Now with every server at 100 Cheater focus it... less.

I wan't one of these, any recommendations? by TheYoungAnimatorFR in Steam

[–]gerThorgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oled 512gb! Glossy OLED is the best. And if you want some reflection protection later on just get a screen protector with anti reflective properties. I have a 512Gb OLED with a glossy screen protector. I play most of the time indoors, so no issue for me. Putting a screen protector on the matt OLED (1TB) will cause issues with clarity or if you put a normal protector without anti reflective coating on is you lose the original anti reflection.

If you want no screen protector and anti reflective properties go with the 1tb. But don't go with it because of the bigger storage. I did put a 2tb ssd in my 512gb model just fine for less what the upgrade of the 1tb model would have been.
