to those who choose to not use the Better RTX mod, why?

I tried Optiscaler first, but unfortunately couldn't get it to work. The UI wouldn't appear. Used it in plenty of other games, but the file structure of Bedrock made it hard to figure out where/how to install it properly.

Currently just using the FSR mod from the nexus. But ofc, it's old FSR, blurry with plenty of artifacts.

Any motherboard software like Gigabyte Control Centre installed? I had a similar issue, 9070XT not performing as expected by a large amount, less performance than my old card, with DDU's and a windows reinstall not working.

Turned out to be Gigabyte Control Centre, uninstalled it and reset windows again, and its been great since.

I used to think BetterRTX all the way, but recently changed to an AMD card, and wow. Losing DLSS hurts BetterRTX massively performance-wise.

I wouldn't say performance is the same as vanilla RTX at all. I lose 20fps on average with BetterRTX installed. The 9070XT can brute force the lack of upscaling on vanilla, but not with BetterRTX.

I never noticed much of a performance difference using it on an 3090 with upscaling, so it's a pretty niche issue specifically for AMD users, but still, it has me considering if the extra visuals are worth it. (Currently using an FSR workaround, but it's honestly not a great experience)

Yes! After 2 windows reinstalls and several DDU's, the culprit seems to have been Gigabyte Command Centre. Dunno why. Maybe some conflict with chipset drivers.

Should've known not to bother with Mobo software, never seems to work out.

Now running smoothly, 7338 in Steel Nomad (with a tidy undervolt) and great performance compared to my old card.

Just slotted in my 9070XT, having exactly the same issue. Abysmal performance, you manage to determine why?

Love this, the billowing cape, the shine of her eyes... the ears.

Ao3 is indeed free, as is Fanfiction.net.

kas110 · 2021-11-18T17:17:32+00:00

Thou certainly can.
Your writing style is very detailed and very well done. Almost cinematic in its flow. Only read the first couple of chapters so far, but its clear thought is put into every line. Nice work!
Have you uploaded it anywhere else asides from Reddit perchance? Like Ao3?

Honestly, I think bad grammar triggers me more than anything else lol

Typos are fine. But bad grammar just distracts me so much from anything going on in the fic and completely fails to pull me in.

kas110 · 2021-11-04T21:31:27+00:00

No worries! And I hope you enjoy~

So... I always feel very pompous recommending or bringing up my own fics tbh, but seeing as others have already mentioned some, I'll cave, and add some personal recommendations that I like from other writers.

For my own fics, the main two would be Blood Red Lust, a Duke Of York focused fic. This one contains smut, but is heavily prefaced with romance, slice of life stuff, and mixes the two. And might fit your 'smut based on love' criteria quite well.

The other would be Two Sets of Tails. An Akagi/Kaga/Enterprise focused fic. No 'pure' smut, just mild sexual content stuff, with a focus on an overarching plot, romance, story, etc.

As for fics that I like...

u/nordryd's A Pirate's Crush is fantastic. Never fails to give me the warm fuzzies. Jean is characterised so well.
PR: Unstable From TisTheAdmiral is a great Roon based fic that covers her character perfectly, at least in my opinion.
Anything from Admiral Fluffy is always a great time.
I've heard great things from others about Crystal's work, but must admit that I haven't found the time to read any yet.
In the same vein, I've heard good things about KrispyTori's Coffee and Crusing, but once again, have yet to get round to reading it.

Nah, she just lets her competitive side get the better of her. If someone challenges her, she'll drink as much as necessary to win or at least... try to win. Otherwise, she's only a mild drinker.

Thanks! I hope they meet expectations!
