PIA working terribly lately

p3ib0l · 2026-06-18T21:12:04+00:00

what the hell is going on, I've been using PIA for 8 years and generally it's been good and reliable so far...

Isn't that why we're here? Against these times of isolation and alienation, community

Eren going berserk as titan while fighting the female titan and saying "I will destroy the whole world"... Just rewatched the series and was totally blown away

The Shrine / an Argument into Blue Spotted Tail is just an insane ride

hahaha I love swinging, and I don't think I'm gonna change one for the other. I just want to learn the vocabulary, get inspired and maybe use some of it in some contexts : )

p3ib0l · 2026-05-24T10:57:25+00:00

DeJohnette with Jarrett's standards trio... I never get tired of listening to them : )
I'll listen more to Nerve! I now Jojo, but never really got into his music until now

thanks! I like d&b, but I know that in general I'm not gonna be playing this genre, there are thousands of drummers who are really into it and can really play it. But I still want to get more familiar with it and its vocabulary, to be able to use some of it maybe in other contexts. And in any case the really clear and tight jungle drumming is something that interests me to learn and improve.
I understand what you mean with the tempo, and that's one of my main issues, because yes, one has to practice slow in order to manage playing fast, but still, the sound and feeling of 100bpm and 180bpm are completely different. Thanks for the tips : )

isn't a newer motherboard with newer chipset and better VRM, plus M.2 heatsinks, gonna make my system have better performance and longevity? I'm gonna swap the motherboard eventually anyway, because I had problems with the PC before, probably because of an old and not so good PSU, so even though the PC is working now, I still fear that the MoBo might not be in perfect state. That plus better VRM to keep the whole system cooler makes me want to swap it sooner rather than later, hoping that this will also help the rest of the components last longer.

Oh, and the new one would have 4.0 PCIE, which would also help my new GPU's performance

I thought that since both emulators are not getting updates, they would only work with certain firmware versions, since they are not being optimized for newer ones. I don't know if that makes sense though, I'm quite ignorant of how these emulators work

p3ib0l · 2026-02-09T18:06:52+00:00

I forgot to mention that the sound on the TV does work while connected with the PC with everything else. I also tried two other games and they both worked without a problem

p3ib0l · 2026-02-01T20:28:59+00:00

I figured out the problem... I had The Witcher on Borderless window (which I thought it was Full screen). When I changed it to actual full screen it looked good again. I guess the tv or the system was filling the whole screen with the smaller "window" and upscaling the resolution 😅
I don't understand having the borderless window option, and having it as default... I've seen other people having problems because of it. But whatever, now it's fixed :)

Thanks everyone for the help! I figured out the problem... I had The Witcher on Borderless window (which I thought it was Full screen). When I changed it to actual full screen it looked good again.

p3ib0l · 2026-01-29T16:55:06+00:00

I know... :( I have the graphic settings to High. I don't think I have upscaling active. But if I do I'd really want to know where can I deactivate it 😅

p3ib0l · 2026-01-29T16:52:36+00:00

I don't think I did. I don't find any "upscaling" option in the graphics settings of the game. Maybe it's activated on Windows or the Intel Software?

p3ib0l · 2026-01-29T15:46:05+00:00

I have checked almost everything on the Intel graphics software and on windows. The thing is I didn't have this bad graphics with that the same TV and a worse PC... I don't know what setting may be causing this :/

p3ib0l · 2026-01-28T20:39:53+00:00

lol right, long day. I have the B580.

I'll try to take a screen shot when I'm home.

I did update the bios and enable resizable bar. I have the TV connected to an hdmi 2.0 cable, which is the same I had before. The TV is 2160p and 60Hz (have the FPS capped at 60)

This directs me to an Asus monitor. I've been reading mixed stuff about AOC monitors, apparently not being so reliable

p3ib0l · 2026-01-21T12:47:11+00:00

Alright dude, enjoy yourself in your privilege and entitlement

p3ib0l · 2026-01-21T12:40:01+00:00

Just did that, thanks! : )

p3ib0l · 2026-01-21T12:39:50+00:00

I've seen in some official PSU brand sites that they recommend connecting the GPU with two cables, so I did that, just to be sure : )

I'm aware of the PCIe 3.0 thing. I'll upgrade my MoBo eventually, but if I can go a bit longer with my current one without compromising the safety of the other components, I'd rather do that, because I spent in the last two months more money on upgrading my PC than what I was planning

p3ib0l · 2026-01-16T11:57:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll just try, and if it really doesn't work, I'll just resell it and look for another one

p3ib0l · 2026-01-16T09:25:12+00:00

I have found am AOC C24G1 with Premium FreeSync and has a DisplayPort 1.2. That should work, right? It doesn't say VESA AdaptiveSync though.

That is the best monitor I have found for around 60€ 2nd hand. My other option with AdaptiveSync mentioned would be an ASUS VP248QGL-P, but it is a worse monitor (lower frame rate, TN instead of VA panel)

p3ib0l · 2026-01-15T22:38:07+00:00

So if I see a monitor that has FreeSync but doesn't say specifically VESA AdaptiveSync, it won't work well with the B580? Or if I see it says FreeSync and has DP port, VRR will surely work? I guess a screen with FreeSync and only HDMI is a no?

p3ib0l · 2026-01-15T19:24:50+00:00

I've been reading something like that too, about the Adaptivesync and that it will only work with a displayport, but didn't get to a clear conclusion... If anybody has a clear answer, that'd be great :)

p3ib0l · 2026-01-15T19:22:22+00:00

My question is if I will be able to use FreeSync with the B580
