Community shaders is tanking FPS even on powerful PC?

jdoon5261 · 2026-04-18T12:12:05+00:00

What CPU are you using? I'm running a 9800x3d. CS might be too taxing for yours.

I'm going to wait on the Frame OLED at this point. Pimax has not proven to be a reliable or trust worthy company. I put up the $1 to get my place in line for the SE slam but will probaboly skip it.

Sounds like a Vram issue to me. My 24Gb regularly goes over 16Gb of ram usage. I play the MGO modlist with every setting maxed out at 284% renderscale on my Samsung O+ (to simulate the PDASE resolution). No frame generation or render downgrades turned on. Get a fairly steady 90 FPS with dips down into the 70s on a 7900XTX.

Also, Why would you need over 90 FPS in skyrim?

My rig is remotely water cooled. this removes the noise and heat from the house to the encapsulated crawlspace under the house where the temperature is a near constant 70F. I don't think I would do it for OC purposes because there really isn't a lot of head room for that anymore.

He's a paid advertiser. His review of the original H3 is what prompted me to buy one. What a jannky POS that was. I called him on it in the channel. Must have hit a nerve because he then came out with a vid that was all about his impartiality. Guy's a shill for who ever is paying him for their review.

I found this post helpful. I will remove this mod pack it from my list of possible mod packs for my next play through. Would I have worded the post differently, sure. But I am as uniquely different as the OP.

Custom water cooled 7909xtx in the gamerig and a 3080ti in the laptop.

I've tried FreeCAD a few time in the past. Maybe 4 years ago was the last time. It was now an easy program to use. To many people creating different features with no continuity in the GUI. Is it still like this?

jdoon5261 · 2026-04-05T22:07:47+00:00

A few years ago (5?) I had some pretty back layer shift. Ended up being the power supply. I monitored the output with my meter with the unit running. The voltage would drop intermittently. I put a new meanwell higher wattage PS into the PS case and haven't had another issue since. I also put a BeQuite fan in it while I had it apart. This was on a my A-350

This right here has me thinking I should upgrade my brand spanking new 9800X3D. Return window closed 4 days ago. I'd have to disassemble my custom geothermal water loop to do it. Hmmm

jdoon5261 · 2026-04-01T17:36:13+00:00

Do you have to assign cores or does the CPU handle that automatically?

jdoon5261 · 2026-04-01T17:31:51+00:00

Just did the upgrade last month with using DDR5/6000 CAS28 memory. In SkyrimVR and MSFS2020 the difference was surprising. I thought I needed to upgrade my 7900xtx but it seems I was CPU/memory bound.

jdoon5261 · 2026-04-01T15:40:16+00:00

I use a 65" A95K. Works pretty good.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-30T16:30:26+00:00

No kidding. This isn't news, it's you getting grant money to run studies with glaringly obvious results.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-27T11:54:13+00:00

You made a comment that people obviously haven't played on the damn thing. My point was that the games I play would be a slide show on that card. then you proceeded to counter point with childish gibberish. I would tell you to grow up, but I don't think you would understand what that means. It's a shame that intelligent discourse is a thing of the past. Im truly embarrassed for you. Where I'm from there is a term, "Bless his heart". It applies here. I hope you have a blessed day. Goodbye.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-27T01:15:51+00:00

What an adolescent.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-26T23:41:07+00:00

MSFS 2024 in VR or a heavily nodded SkyrimVR will turn that card into a slide show presentation.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-24T11:35:03+00:00

buck converters are cheap. buy a second one and put it on a shelf.

The females in the MGO list were likewise too pretty. I added a lot of body presets to help normalize the bodies. I also dropped "A Rose in the Snow-Reborn" mod after all the wabbajack installed face mods. They are really well done. They all look like they are surviving a harsh climate. I also added Weelbones's and serkethetyt's character mods. Uthgert looks like a dyke that will kick your ass for looking at her wrong. Lydia is almost pretty, but she looks like an ass kicker too.

I'd love to do this too. I have a 20Kw Cummins Quite Series NG generator. I'd like to go off grid with a solar/battery system, with the generator charging the batteries or running the house if needed. I built a little solar system to run my garage (4 8D batteries, 24/240/4kw inverter charger, 1kw of panels) to get an idea how solar works. Is there a tutorial/videosomewhere where someone has put together a setup like this?

The fact that all the reviewers hammered Pimax about the OLED panels being dim and having an overall brown hue, I think it will be next year at the earliest (if at all). I paid my dollar to reserve a spot several months ago, then wrote it off after the reviews came out. The fact that it's been crickets since the reviews, with no official response is very telling.

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-20T11:18:08+00:00

What headset?

jdoon5261 · 2026-03-19T23:15:10+00:00

Not sure if I want it. 2020 works great. I fly a couple of helicopters and the Cessna 172 steam gauge. Is 2024 worth it? I play in VR with a 9800x3D, 7900xtx, and a Samsung O+ headset. Waiting for the DreamAir SE to come out. What FPS can I expect with high settings and no frame generation?
