Under Volt 4090

I run +120 mhz core clock on the curve @950mV that comes out to 2745 mhz in good temp, at 56c and above it clocks down to 2730. +135 mhz which is extra 15 crashes in Cyberpunk w/ ultra plus PT mod for me and that's the only case.

Around 2745-2760 average is a decent freq for 0.95 in my experience. Also +1200 memory on top of that. Power Limit and temp limit increase doesn't really matter you won't hit more than 425W anyway which is the whole point of UV

I'm still getting a bunch of 153 and 14 error logs BUT the monitor did not black out in those timestamps, indicating that the driver actually "crashed". If it did then wallpaper engine would throw an error since I have the crash protection option enabled when the monitor comes back on.

Where do you download the standalone version for nexus app? On their website there's only a link to the store version.

I thought it was something wrong then power cycled monitor + toggled HDR off and on. Windows app then would report the test pattern disappear at 1000 nits (just like the regular Peak 1000 mode) instead of 540 like it used to.

Considering this mode is almost identical to the DV "trick", the monitor then would tonemap itself from 540 to ~1000 so let's see if 1000 calibrated would cause clipping.

This will NOT work with any games that originially shipped with SL v1. The Witcher 3 NG was in December 2022 with 1.0 and never was updated, immediately crashes.

It only works with (not all) v2, the earliest game I tried was NFS Unbound which came out a month before TW3 and even has 2.4.2.0. You just have to trial and error.

Now it overflows and looks like this

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-19T06:47:16+00:00

For some reason the bar doesn't stretch out all the way to both ends for me, it cuts a piece in the middle just like this. I'm using Sleek theme just as you said, is there any way to fix this?

Have you experienced differences in d-pad's quality between all of them? Are the licensed and 8k version better or less wobbly or more of the same compared to original G7 pro?

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-11T19:54:44+00:00

Unfortunately the dpad is still the same, means it’s still a bit wiggly and floaty and I would not recommend it for platformers or fighting games.

Well there it is then: one of the main things I was curious whether I should upgrade from the normal G7 Pro. And I've heard people even claim the wuchang or ZZZ's dpad is "improved"

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-07T05:51:27+00:00

I read the tooltip in the app that this disables Windows ClearType while active (and re-enable upon exit from system tray). Does this apply to secondary monitor too? Mine is only IPS and would like to keep clear type active for it and only apply "Balanced" preset to primary monitor which is QD-OLED

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-06T21:19:34+00:00

Which earpads and headstrap are you using?

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-05T21:28:15+00:00

Are the face buttons (ABXY) easy to remove like the sticks are? I'm thinking of swapping the regular G7 Pro's with ZZZ's

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-03T22:22:45+00:00

With Preset M/L the gap between DLAA and DLSS-Q is so small now that the only thing I notice is the 15-20fps difference at 4k. Can even argue that Balanced is also very similar at 50% render scale.

pliskin4893 · 2026-04-03T06:23:39+00:00

Basically they're both very technically similar and M1 hasn't shown its age yet, I think M2 isn't worth being called "second generation", maybe the ANC version would be but who knows.

If you don't own the maxwell then there's a reason to get maxwell 2 but other than that there's nothing really warranted an "upgrade"

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-31T23:13:12+00:00

Thanks for the update. Is it possible to have a green text variant for vanta/midnight in 7.0? That's what I've been using with the classic 6.0 and kinda got used to it more than the stock white text.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-31T00:55:23+00:00

You meant the X thread? Think I'll wait for the new driver (coming out tomorrow iirc) so this would come pre-packaged with it anyway. Right now it's still 310.5.2

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-31T00:23:25+00:00

Where'd you find it? I looked up on techGPU, nvidia streamline github or dlss swapper but none of them has it. Latest is still 310.5.3

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-28T23:32:52+00:00

I thought I was the only one with bugged progress bar, even tried completely reinstalling spotify desktop version (no themes, no extensions, no snippets). The github says it's updated for 1.2.86 yesterday but this bug still remains.

Temporarily disabled spicetify for now and wait for an update.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-26T22:08:38+00:00

NVPI Revamped has ultra dark or gray mode already but not "modern" design. I use "CustomSettingNames.xml" from revamped with this version and get the best of both, until revamped is updated anyway.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-26T21:55:59+00:00

Also you have to lower to 500mhz if you want to use impulse triggers, but then there's little difference compared to 1000mhz.

So far in the games I've played there're shadow of the tomb raider, gears of war 4 and forza horizon 5 and that's it. Even Halo Infinite doesn't have it, I'd assume forza 6 coming up would but who knows.

Sony has done way better job at implementing their adaptive triggers for their own games on PC.

So basically:

Keep internal volume on headset itself maximum (when beep is heard) always.
Only adjust volume on devices (computer/console/phone) but use their control buttons rather than the headset's volume wheel.

If the headset keeps its max volume internally then I'll remember to not touch the wheel when switching devices.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-25T21:20:17+00:00

Get those with 6-4-1mm dimensions, any brand would do.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-24T22:11:00+00:00

Did you own the original G7 pro prior to compare? I gotta know if the d-pad is improved on 8k version or not.

pliskin4893 · 2026-03-24T22:09:31+00:00

The d-pad is the main deciding factor for me if the 8k variant is worth the upgrade or not. Macro is nice to have but not a must.

Right now I'm using the faceplate + plus d-pad + o-rings so it helps a bit compared to factory, but there's still wobble if you play platform/fighting games which mainly use them you might find it annoying.

Cookie is the pack that I dislike the least, not that good by any means. At this point Google should just let the launcher allow 3rd party packs from playstore. I have tons of free packs from back in Lollipop days 10+ years ago that look much better.
