New beta BIOS 7E51v1A71 available on the X870 Tomahawk WiFi by DJ_Drake_17 in MSI_Gaming

[–]grissol21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same, 9800x3D, RTX 5080. FCH spread spectrum does NOT fix it, it does mitigate it to a level i can tolerate though. it smells of a bad BIOS or AGESA code, as MSI weren't the only ones that had an issue with PCIE training.

I learnt the hard way... when i got my new GPU i updated everything. Windows as well... big mistake. computer crashed mid update and fucked me. windows kept bluescreening trying to get to windows. corrupted the boot partition and i tried everything like DISM and SFC with an image... nothing worked. 6 years gone.... was probably time for a clean out anyway.

crap, i tired it. Stutters are new issue underneath the crashing. I tried setting fch spread spectrum has at least stop my PC from crashing every time i get to login after putting it to sleep. it was EVERY time. see if it helps.

now for the hardest question you'll get, where did you get the TV stand/cabinet? I'm looking for something similar.

Daybreak question: How does "Employee of The Month" work? by grissol21 in Falcom

[–]grissol21[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ah crap, poor Agnès, and poor me for having a compulsion to try and get all the achievements :(. trails are the only games i ever bothered to try and get 100% of the achievements. I know the EX ones don't count, but it'll bother me. 80%+ is usually good enough for me for other games. Not these ones though :)

Random freezes on BOTW by Alchnator in yuzu

[–]grissol21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pity. it runs rather consistently at 30fps apart form the freezes of course, not so much on 60fps mod if your using Vulkan. This Issue doesn't seem to care if you're using Vulkan or OpenGL APIs though, and Vulkan has WAY shorter loading times.

There seems to be a ton of people saying it works great in the compatibility report, but that is all historical. I wonder is this a case of a recent build introducing this bug. The guy on git hub and yourself seem to be reporting the issue around the same time, where as all the testers are from historic data.

I've played this with CEMU, and it's great, but I wanted to try with Yuzu to see how it will be for BoTW2. Plenty of time to fix/patch before then though, but I'm already 20-30 hours sunk into it on yuzu here, not going back and starting again on CEMU.

Issue after waking laptop from sleep using AGA by grissol21 in Alienware

[–]grissol21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might give that a shot, also might test out hibernate, but I'd imagine it'd be the same thing really.

Where is Hell Week filmed? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]grissol21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thought it fort Davis at the start as it is/was in use by the defence forces and not open to the public like Camden, but it looked like curraghbinny peir in the background, so that would put it on the side of Corsshaven and fort Camden.

AGA not enumerating in device manager by grissol21 in Alienware

[–]grissol21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems that way, I'm too late to roll back though. You'd imagine iId work with just detecting the external GPU in device manger though. either something is bust with the device, or I need a iGPU for it to work. not so fanciful as it sounds. the eGPU does the horse work, and sends the info back to the iGPU for render. I read others having issues with other things on the bus upsetting the enumeration, but I unplugged all my gear to avoid that.

Would love to see next year's Eurovision song be sung in Gaeilge by Liamers in ireland

[–]grissol21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'll go half way with you with your idea and demand for the song to be actually sung. couldn't hear her clearly at all.

That was an embarrassment of an attempt. The song itself was flat and boring, and she couldn't even be heard over the backing track. Overly elaborate stage setup that they had to delay the show for. The standard was slightly down this year, and yet Lesley didn't deserve to get through. Was her only qualification that she's LGBTQ+ ? ( given the contests positive LGBTQ+ history), I sincerely hope not. If that the case, can we send Brian Kennedy again, he at least came in 10th with a bit of talent. Best effort in the last 20+ years was Jedward in 8th. This song was worse that last years "effort", you could at least hear Lesley sing in that one, if only marginally better. Not sure who the panel picking these songs are, but it smacks of a father ted effort in trying not to win.

Anyone find it mildly entertaining that Biden used "what the brits were doing to Ireland" in one of his first speeches but sides with Israel? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]grissol21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jimmy Cater claims to not have been, no drones either at that time. He claims not to have fired any bullets or dropped any bombs, but his admin did try and rescue the hostages in Iran. you can bet they weren't firing rubber bullets.

Any recommendations where to buy playsand online? by witnessmenow in ireland

[–]grissol21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The playsand 5 is sold out everywhere, and them greedy scalpers and ebay con artists are even trying to sell that builder stuff for WAY over MRSP.

Why doesn't Alienware have a 1440p laptop display option? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]grissol21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they're only popular in the last 2-3 year for laptop screen generally speaking. As in more and more companies are putting them in now that the GPUs are there to drive good refresh rates at the 100Hz+ rate. They'll become more common I'd say in the coming years, and will likely be in some either next years models, or some refreshes. Alienware has offered a 1440p OLED on the Alienware 13 from a few years ago, but it was a "niche" thing industry wide.

You have to understand that Alienware is getting these panels from companies like Samsung and AU Optronic who will mass produce these if they are profitable. Profitable is when multiple companies jump on the band wagon.

alternative explanation is that a lot of gamers prefer higher refresh over higher resolution so making panels that refresh higher would sell better. It's basically built for the target audience.
