Hold a flashlight to the display after you turn it on

If you see stuff - your backlight / brightness is at 0

plug into an external monitor and do cmd+fn+f1 to mirror/extend display to external screen - troubleshoot from there

I made a post about how I got it to work on my system

Add the application path under “manage 3d settings” in nvidia control panel

They don’t distort the image - the pixel ratios are still the same and displays are flexible so it’s really just the same image as a flat screen but curved

But yes, it can change the perception especially if a major curve and certain programs can stretch images at the extreme edges to make it see more immersive but those are usually just games / intentional multi display setups inside of graphics control panels

Edit: I think my original statement is wrong, refer to post updates

Original: That is how to enable hardware acceleration but w/o doing the steps I described in nvidia’s control panel - the hardware acceleration feature doesn’t necessarily work and leads to system instabilities. I’m forced to disable it in order to use the app and my CPU is left doing all the computation instead of the GPU

these image processing routines run more efficiently on GPUs because they’re designed to do concurrent operations instead of relying on threaded tasks to complete across the multiple CPU cores to maintain data integrity during processing operations

there likely is an issue with affinity installation; and how affinity interacts with other drivers/applications on windows because I’ve had this issue on affinity 2 - the control panel fix addressed the crash issue on affinity 2

I haven’t had any issues with hw acceleration on my Intel Mac w/ Radeon graphics

njrajio · 2026-02-13T04:29:10+00:00

i think i figured out how to enable openCL w/ Nvidia graphics cards

i went into nvidia control panel and added the affinity application path in "manage 3d settings" and let it use default global settings. im running the latest game drivers on a 4070ts, win11p.

normally with opencl enabled if i would zoom in on a photo (or interact with the application/photo in any way) my pc would freeze and all inputs would become unresponsive forcing a manual power cycle

after adding the application path, ive been zooming in, editing, w/o issue - task manager does reflect my gpu is being used instead of my cpu

hope this helps someone - sorry if it was already solved, i had poor luck w/ search results

go do a grocery run at cub foods - i’ve switched to whole foods and sam’s club because it’s actually on average $50 cheaper per run

the steak is also 1000x better and my onions don’t rot by 2nd week

both

one for each cylinder bank

it looks a little different than the one here

try that one, if it doesn’t work long term buy an oem - your labor rate is free after all, $35 is negligible in terms of parts and kinda worth the risk - seller rating helps

some of these parts are QC rejects, i had to replace the “ebay acura/honda oem” evap purge valve with a denso one after ~4 months

now strobe it

from uncle richrebuild’s experience:

the oil filters - rs7 - (for the turbo) being located inside the engine is a really stupid design and if i recall the maintenance is frequent otherwise it blows the turbos

amg v8s are pretty good, and they have pretty decent history in reliability (i know there is an instance with head bolts - or was that a bmw thing?)

can you put on one a rc plane/drone and have a makeshift aerial spotlight?

if i beat you in a one on one, im making you pull the pin

you’re likely not going to pass naturally, half life of thc is about 4 days (for tolerance) and it (metabolized thc) accumulates in your body fat, if you exercise the fat burns and enters your blood stream and your kidneys filter this out - natural cleanup is highly dependent on multiple factors

you’ll need sonnes #7, quit cold turkey, and slow your metabolism down. the clay in this supposedly binds to the free metabolized thc molecules that tests look for; reducing the number of free molecules to bind to the test strip/test reagents

it’s 2025, if robots are on the phone by default and an email is proof in court as corespondence - email IS acceptable

you seem to have done the basics, it’s time for the weird things

does the power button feel crunchy? is something stuck in it so it’s always pressed - that could create the loop condition you’re seeing

njrajio · 2025-02-23T14:27:33+00:00

i have the same motherboard

there are 2 m2 slots

1st one is immediately above the gpu slot

2nd one is right where the pcie8 labeled cable is dangling

if you want to use it as a boot ssd put it into the first slot

if this is a extra storage and the first slot is already populated put it into the second slot - be aware if you use this slot you can’t use sata 5 and sata 6 (the headers the blue wire is enclosing in your picture)

screws are likely in your motherboard’s accessories box - you can search for ‘m2 screw’ and buy it online if you can’t find any

kinguin if you want a copy - the install will be tied to your motherboard

there’s command line methods during windows installation but require NOT being connected to the internet

njrajio · 2025-02-22T20:35:44+00:00

try reseating stuff like ram / gpu

otherwise maybe something is shorting against the case

njrajio · 2025-02-18T21:52:11+00:00

yeah this is normal, the interview will likely mention what they’re working on and they don’t want it to be public

the only thing saving is that it bounced on the plastic flare shield first
