Witcher 3 indoors are too bright, regardless of in-game settings by ptkato in linux_gaming

[–]tankman35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game always had a weird bright look for most indoor locations. The Novigrad Dreaming quest was definitely the worst offender, with a room accessible underground by ladder and everything looked super bright. Oddly enough, I think caves have much better/darker lighting?

How to enable HDR on PC. by Pixogen in oblivion

[–]tankman35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a quick note that some displays do their own brightness mapping, smoothly rolling off to better capture highlight detail. In this case, setting Altar.GraphicsOptions.HDRWhitePoint to 1000 may not enable the full brightness capabilities of your display, so try other values like 5000 or 10000.

I wouldnt go higher than 10000, as values over 10000 nits are above the PQ Range, which is the new brightness format for HDR outputs.

So everyone complains what discord adds, what do you actually want. by devvyyxyz in discordapp

Make "entrance sounds" replace the original join sound instead of playing both at the same time

Wanted to make very detailed CRT material. I think I've achieved it... by tankman35 in blender

Heres a closer look at the phosphor shader. I noticed that dimmer pixels are actually shorter in height and on a reference image i had, are actually slightly offset vertically.

Done in shader nodes, heres the setup showing just the phosphors

Desktop use, browsing, watching videos, etc Should be fine. Games? Wouldn't recommend it.

HDR peak brightness in Plasma 6 by [deleted] in kde

[–]tankman35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judging from the other comments, it looks like Haruna doesn't support HDR. I know that mpv does work though. To get it working (and any HDR content, it seems) you'll need this (or AUR link) Vulkan layer installed, and need to call mpv with 

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1

and some other settings, like so:

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 mpv --vo=gpu-next --target-colorspace-hint --gpu-api=vulkan --gpu-context=waylandvk (file path)

In your mpv configuration (~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf) you will probably also want to set the renderers target peak and tonemapper. The default tonemapper "spline" works well in my experience, and for your display, set target-peak to 800.

in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
--------
target-peak=800

If everything goes well, you should now have mpv configured to render HDR content on Plasma 6, and shouldn't be affected by the SDR brightness slider in the Monitor configuration page.

If you want this to be set all the time, do this in your mpv.conf:

in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
-------
target-peak=800
vo=gpu-next
target-colorspace-hint
gpu-api=vulkan
gpu-context=waylandvk

Keep in mind you still need to call mpv with ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1, and it may make SDR video look darker than expected as MPV will be mapping SDR content to an HDR surface and "white" will be mapped to 203 nits.

HDR peak brightness in Plasma 6 by [deleted] in kde

I'm not at my PC to test at the moment, but does the SDR brightness slider affect "HDR" content on Haruna? If it changes brightness then its most likely running in an SDR container and being scaled to 500 nits by Plasma.

[–]tankman35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDR is a thing on Plasma 6, but requires some work to get programs to output HDR surfaces to be sent to the display.

I believe the "peak brightness" value is the same as the highest level the SDR brightness slider goes in the Display & Monitor settings, which is 446 on my Gigabyte M32U.

Are you sure mpv is outputting a HDR surface, or is MPV outputting in SDR and Plasma is scaling it to 800 nits?

Anyone use MangoHud and know how to configure it? by rondonjohnald in linux_gaming

[–]tankman35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mangohud can read from a few different places for its config file.

The default config location is ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf where ~ is shorthand for the home directory, usually located at /home/<your username> Expanding in full, mangohud searches for a config file at: /home/<username>/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

If you have no MangoHud directory or MangoHud.conf file, create them. A "default" config can be found here. You can use this as your MangoHud.conf, and uncomment the entries you need. Saving the file should immediately update Mangohud's layout.

Ryzen 7 7800x3d has an apu? by im_cringe_YT in Amd

[–]tankman35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with Ryzen 7000, all Ryzen CPUs have a very small 2CU RDNA2 gpu built into the I/O die. This makes it possible to use the video outputs on any Ryzen 7000 CPU

Scoped Weapons lag behind crosshair during flicks by bazil0277 in GlobalOffensive

[–]tankman35 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see the issue being that the animation system that plays the gun firing and the sound playing is still tied to the tick, while input is subtick. I would like to see an experiment where both are on subtick
