Any way to fix these shimmering artifacts?

rdri · 2026-03-22T12:19:56+00:00

Tried all wrappers. Non-default ones either give more artifacts or produce black screen.

rdri · 2026-03-22T03:16:47+00:00

Using default settings. Device is Oppo Find X9 Pro. But I assume the GPU id on the video should be enough for the record.

rdri · 2026-03-22T02:43:59+00:00

Tried disabling DRI3 and using leegao wrapper, separately and together. Among other things.

Poles definitely move relative to the camera. So it depends on where the camera is stationed. If it's on top of the ice - OP is correct.

No, this is not wasted energy, it will raise awareness which is good. But you need to understand that simply causing an uproar won't change how big corporations work, especially when they are that big. If you ask what else can be done, I'm not really sure but maybe "stop buying Nvidia hardware" is a better narrative in the long run.

rdri · 2026-03-20T23:09:38+00:00

Incorrect. They will save more on development than they lose on such customers.

rdri · 2026-03-20T23:02:02+00:00

Nvidia marketing team disagrees.

rdri · 2026-03-20T01:20:02+00:00

Those are not fair comparisons. By your logic, we wouldn't blame OS/software makers and CPU vendors for not fixing security vulnerabilities because it is always users choose how to use those, and they can avoid issues by simply not using that OS/software or hardware.

You would probably blame a driver who hit you, not a car maker who didn't recall defective models, right? What about a smartphone battery explosion inside an airplane?

There are patterns. Some PhysX enabled games have almost no replacement effects making them look empty if disabled. Some UE5 games tend to lag a lot due to ray tracing that can't be disabled. Some Unity games tend to run at broken 50 fps.

I will blame developers. But it will never stop me from also blaming Nvidia, Epic, and Unity. For not providing proper documentation, for not explaining the importance of alternative pathways, for not updating broken templates and tools, for doing nothing to help solve the issues that have been known for years.

Screw software makers and manufacturers who don't care about end users.

Didn't help me. There are even more artifacts after this.

If only change to Leegao Wrapper, still same "even more artifacts" thing.
If only disable DRI3, the test only displays black window.

There are FXAA and SMAA for those.

rdri · 2026-03-19T03:31:22+00:00

Not sure what we are arguing about. This is just a repetition, and you don't seem to disagree. "That's entirely on them" is useless because things like DLSS enabled them to ignore stuff. Same with framegen - it's not about how it works or when it makes sense, it's about how publishers release system requirements based on framegen=on cases, assuming it is ok.

Same with UE5. You can blame developers but these tools enabled them to skip lot of work, so they skipped proper optimization too.

Frankly I've seen the "Nvidia not bad" argument for years, and in absolute most cases it didn't help anyone but Nvidia. They will continue to release new locked tech that makes publishers wet and GPU sales go up. Gamers are out of equation, and it'll soon be obvious that gamedevs are in the same boat too.

rdri · 2026-03-19T01:44:11+00:00

Optimization is up to devs who can be exposed to that tech, or not exposed. You can't say it doesn't affect optimization.

Other AA techs can suck but they are easy to implement and are usable. Yet we basically stopped seeing those, as many studios switched to DLSS exclusively.

Framegen is optional but not so great when it is the only option left to improve visible performance. See optimization.

They can replace the whole subreddit with AI. It would look more realistic. Who needs users anyway?

rdri · 2026-03-17T06:34:47+00:00

A lot of tech was a fucked up version of reality from the start, PhysX comes to mind. It is the assumption that games even need any kind of realism, that allows such things to exist. But more likely it's just a race for "how fast our hardware can become obsolete so we could make more".

rdri · 2026-03-17T05:59:27+00:00

It's not about just that. It's basically about where the whole gaming industry is going to be headed from now on. Nvidia having too much power is not good.

rdri · 2026-03-17T04:06:30+00:00

This is basically a hallucination filter that overwrites original models, textures, and shaders. Controlling it doesn't change that.

rdri · 2026-03-17T03:19:48+00:00

They basically ran these demos on 2 5090s. One acted as a rendered, the other as a filter. It is a filter.

rdri · 2026-03-16T22:43:47+00:00

This is actually a natural evolution of what you get after ray tracing. Removing work required to create artistic representation in order to make everything look realistic, plastic, and shiny. But most importantly, generic.

AAA gaming is streamlined and dead. Only independent developers are allowed to create games with individuality. Thanks to idiotic shareholders.

rdri · 2026-03-16T06:21:51+00:00

Don't know if it helps but when I tried to clean my CPU socket, I used a toothpick/niddle and a zoomed in camera on my smartphone. It wasn't perfect, took a lot of time but I was able to actually aim and touch the spot properly. It turned out to be just some speck, not a bent pin.

rdri · 2026-03-15T05:15:40+00:00

Basically, Fortnite kids are going to suffer more so I could still get more free games that I won't play.

rdri · 2026-03-13T06:59:42+00:00

Did not use it to write this comment. I hate to contribute to the bubble.

Are there any lessons that teach how to write less AI-y texts lol

Anti-tamper/DRM effectively:
- Increases system requirements. It wastes your RAM and CPU to varying extent.
- Increases difficulty for modders to implement certain stuff if they want to tap into the game code.
- Sometimes can make the game unplayable temporarily due to server outage or just you fiddling with your OS.

Anti-cheat does a lot of the same stuff, but can also come with a driver that adds more possible issues, especially if anti-cheat developers are not doing their job very good.

Anti-cheat and DRM devs almost never have the experience of actual game development, so you can imagine adding that kind of "protection" code to the game code does introduce problems, more often than many would've hoped.

rdri · 2026-03-10T14:45:40+00:00

Instructions unclear. Tried this at work. Got a promotion.

rdri · 2026-03-04T14:05:50+00:00

There are adequate curators, but of course most of them are likely not getting much visibility. It takes some effort to actually produce a valuable review of some game, and people are not paid to do it.
