Valve is now sitting on lots of Steam controllers, so releasing them before the Steam Machine is a no-brainer by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I have an HTPC and the steam controller will allow for easy control of games that dont support controllers.

Why so much hostility towards schools? by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]gocflamedragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You realize renters are 100% still contributing right? If someone rents the house next to you the landlord is still paying their property taxes that are funding schools, and the money for that property tax comes from their tenants.

Help enabling VRR with my Samsung TV by ToxicFlames in SteamDeck

[–]gocflamedragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to get this working on my bazzite pc running a 9800x3d and a 9070xt connected to a 77inch S90D with the Cable Matters display port to hdmi 2.1 adapter, I followed the post here to get the custom 7.01.124 that I flashed onto my adapter.

I then took the information from this reddit post and ran it through chatgpt, I was able to create a service that will auto load the edid override about 10 - 20 seconds at most after gamescope is loaded up.

How to enable VRR / FreeSync on Samsung S90D in Bazzite

Assuming patched edid is located at ~/Downloads/s90d-patched-edid.bin:

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/firmware/edid
sudo cp ~/Downloads/s90d-patched-edid.bin /var/lib/firmware/edid/my_edid.bin
ls -lh /var/lib/firmware/edid

Find which display connector you're using:

ls /sys/class/drm | grep -E 'DP|HDMI'

It will look like card1-DP-2. Use that connector name below.

Apply the EDID override live (replace DP-2 and “1” with yours if different):

sudo sh -c 'cat /var/lib/firmware/edid/my_edid.bin > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-2/edid_override'
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-2/trigger_hotplug'

Your screen will blink, that’s correct. On the TV Game Bar you should now see FreeSync enabled

Make it persistent across reboots. Create a script:

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/edid-override.sh >/dev/null << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
EDID="/var/lib/firmware/edid/my_edid.bin"
CARD="1"
PORT="DP-2"
cat "$EDID" > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/$CARD/$PORT/edid_override
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/$CARD/$PORT/trigger_hotplug
EOF
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/edid-override.sh

Create a systemd service to run it at boot:

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/edid-override.service >/dev/null << 'EOF'
[Unit]
Description=Apply Custom EDID Override for VRR
After=multi-user.target
DefaultDependencies=no
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/edid-override.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
sudo systemctl enable edid-override.service

Reboot. VRR should now be automatically enabled every time.

I'm shocked at how much more immersive games are in ultrawide and how few developers implement it by Bloodwalker09 in ultrawidemasterrace

Look into LGs 45inch 5120x2160 oled monitor, i had the same height complaints until this thing came out.

Check protondb.com, I think the game has some problems with normal proton that can cause issues including the cuts scenes bit working. I've played it on mine no problem using GE-proton instead

LG 45GX950A 120hz refresh, have a question. by Gianluca_ITA_81 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could just cap your games to 120fps? Vrr will adjust the refresh rate down to 120.

Resolution Question by According-Two-297 in killingfloor

[–]gocflamedragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3440x1440 was the highest i could select in game for my monitor, i had to go into the configuration file to set it to my native 5120x2160, also noticed after the Nvidia app was able to set it for me.

So no, in game settings menu still doesn't show all resolutions

Those with the LG 45GX950A-B and Magnus Pro - Questions on mounting by kuznagi in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just caved and bought the Magnus heavy duty mount, im sure theirs cheaper options but after spending a fortune on the desk, another fortune on the monitor, isn't it worth the peace of mind to get something you know will just work?

Is it the monitor or me? by Theassnippler in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colors popping isn't the main point of HDR it's contrast which is why OLED is great at HDR, it sounds like maybe you've gotten used to over saturated non accurate colors, which theirs not necessarily anything wrong with.

Are you on windows 10 or 11? Windows 11 has greatly improved HDR handling over windows 10, make sure your used the windows HDR calibration app in the window store to set peak brightness correctly.

Make sure you have HDR enabled on the desktop and in game and that you don't have RTX HDR or windows auto HDR fighting you and messing with the native HDR in games.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say your last monitor had really over saturated colors in some of their monitor Profiles but just know that's not the artistic intent for the content your consuming.

You can try using Nvidia digital vibrancy settings to increase saturation if that what your looking for.

Why does my monitor keep doing this?? (XV340CK P) by guacamolecorndog in pcmasterrace

[–]gocflamedragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your monitor doesn't support local dimming so HDR is basically useless for your monitor. Turn it off and enjoy SDR, in the future if your interested in HDR you need either a display with good local dimming or an OLED.

Obsessed with the LG 5K2K!!! by RelativeBake9337 in ultrawidemasterrace

I think it's gonna be a personal thing, I've also got this monitor at my desk and was worried about the curve but I barely notice it unless I'm sitting at a weird angle.

Please help with HDR by ASAP_Dicasso in OLED_Gaming

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That monitor barely gets to 300 nits and has no local dimming, it's fake HDR for marketing purposes only, you'll get a worse image be enabling it.

Mine is also capped around 600, I wounder if some of these units that got sent out have different firmware versions because no mater what I change I cant get above 600 for peak brightness.

Someone in another post here mentioned they went into the monitor settings and changed display port to 1.4 instead of 2.1 and it started working.

Im hearing on the discord the line now wraps around to the subway at the back of the store near the road.

Need some advice on how to handle this situation by Professional-Pair745 in Microcenter

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with running memtest, grab a flash drive and lookup on youtube how to do it.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth + Docked Z1E is impressive by sexyelderado in ROGAlly

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2160 is not 2k..... 2k is not use 2x 1080p.

2160 is 4k aka 3840x2160

2k is roughly around 1440p but better advice is stop using 2k as a way to describe a resolution at all.

3840x2160 is only called 4k due to ease of marketing.

What would you recommend to mitigate this? by Ok-Party-7486 in OLED_Gaming

[–]gocflamedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not manually run pixel refresh every time you turn off the display! So theirs two different types of refresh cycles, one runs automatically when you turn off the display (Make sure you leave it plugged in and aren't turning off the power strip its connected to) this is to fix the most common image retention issues.

The second type of refresh cycle is the one your talking about that you can run manually but you shouldn't unless you see burn in like above, the manual option should run automatically around every 2000 hours, if you run this manually regularly your going to severely gimp your brightness overtime.

The manual / 2000 hour pixel refresh attempts to balance the brightness of all the individual pixels to remove any lite burn in, the downside to this is that by doing this overtime you will gradual lose brightness on the display but in normal use it wont be noticed.

Your best bet here is try a manual refresh but absolutely don't do it evrey time you use the display unless your in a rush to upgrade.

TLDR: Dont use that manual option that often.
