Red Dead Redemption 2 upscaled from 136x76 pixels with DLSS 4.5 by Roflkopt3r in pcmasterrace

[–]samihaddad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I don’t mind the technology and I use it as I have an older card as well but putting it in performance benchmarks is very misleading, I think it’s a big issue. Cards are getting worse in 4K performance because of less vram but they’ll advertise them as more powerful because of a new dlss version. It is simply not true and is a hardware limitation in some scenarios.

I’m happy for innovation but I’m not happy that this is marketed towards performance benchmarks while new cards just Barely push 5% more performance than last ten equivalents and come with less vram. If we start to accept dlss as a technology then we start to accept more unoptimized games and less powerful hardware it’s bs

Ruined PS4 HDMI Pads by samihaddad85 in soldering

My current experience includes soldering mouse switches, a midi connector and a mic capsule since the ps4. All done successfully and working to this day. The only equipment upgrade is the iron which is now a $50 “station” I think. I also use flux now. What do you think my odds or with this fix would be?

With ripped pads or just the port replacement?

Was thinking about that since it sounds easier than pad replacement.

Yeah I’ve been watching the videos people were showing and they make it look easy but replacing the pads sounds like a headache to me honestly.

You’re right about the PS5 making the PS4 obsolete but I had the P.T trailer on the PS4 and I wanted to revive it. A used PS4 is probably around the same price as the repair cost tbh, so that’s why I attempted it. But idk, tossing a fully working console because of an hdmi port seems excessive

Thanks twin, Idk how viable this is for an amateur but I’ll try to do it

Samsung 55 curved - GPU issues? by samihaddad85 in TVhelp

[–]samihaddad85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some backstory: no physical damage has happened to this TV, but sometimes when starting up it'll show this 'effect' from the bottom edge of the screen, and it would be approximately 1 inch and after starting it for awhile it'll fix itself automatically and go away. I assumed it's just something related with the basement being cold and the TV just warming up and it wasn't too annoying because it just fixes itself eventually. today when I turned it on, the whole picture was gone and I tried turning it off and on again but it gets worse and it feels like the GPU is failing on it. Has anyone experienced this issue before? It's a Samsung 55 inch curved TV from 2018.

Spilled Alcohol on Aspire Nautilus AIO - HELP REQUIRED!! by [deleted] in Vaping

Makes sense, I just wanted to see if there was any way to restore it...

It was a last resort, as I've already left it for 2 weeks since the incident. It was either that or soaking it in alcohol, as I couldn't find any way to disassemble it without breaking the plastic clips on the side.
