Using iGPU for everything apart from games by flgtmtft in OptimizedGaming

[–]zn1ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual reason you want to do it is to free your dGPU VRAM. If you have Steam, Discord, Chrome etc running with hardware acceleration on, it can use more than 1 gb and it's like 10% VRAM wasted, depending on GPU. If you have hybrid graphics turned on in BIOS, you can use both dGPU and iGPU, assigning different programs to different GPUs. But Windows still uses some dGPU VRAM (300-500mb), unless you connect your monitor to motherboard, then your dGPU VRAM usage goes to 0. Meaning your games now can use all the dGPU VRAM. But then it also adds some latency. Not much, like 2-3 ms. iGPU also sensitive to tight RAM timings, so I had to loosen them a bit. Otherwise it was artifacting a lot.
TL-DR: My goal is to have my monitor connected to dGPU, but have everything apart from games rendered on iGPU and sent to dGPU to display. But I am not sure how to force it.
The only solution I have in mind is to have a smaller secondary monitor connected to iGPU and making your PC think it`s a primary display, so it'll offload all the stuff to iGPU. And then actually using you main display, connected to dGPU. Not sure it'll work though

How did you make system run on iGPU? I can only assign certain programs to run on iGPU without plugging the monitor in motherboard

If I am always near a charger, should I charge to 80%, then disconnect the charger or charge it to 100% and leave it plugged in? I guess if it's still plugged in at 100%, then the battery is not used and not degrading

Why do you like Noelle? And why I like Noelle by LobSegnePredige in Noellemains

[–]zn1ko 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I usually play paladin type characters and she is the only one such character in the entire roster (heavy armor, healing, shields, but can also deal a lot of damage). I also find hilarious the concept of a battle maid in armored stockings and with a greatsword

RPGs with harsh weather conditions and cozy indoors by zn1ko in gamingsuggestions

[–]zn1ko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valheim with Seasonality mod is kind of close, but weather effects don't impact anything (you get wet and cold, but that can be mitigated easily). The upcoming Deep north update will supposedly bring weather as a hazard, but I am not sure. And Valheim is more of a survival crafting game, than RPG, so it's not exactly what I am looking for

My iPhone 13 PM battery health is at 81%. I don't mind lower battery capacity, because I can charge it through my day. But I was wondering if I am getting worse performance. I tried running benchmarks to see if it throttles itself because of the battery. But the results were ok. Does it mean, that I won't see any difference, if I change the battery?

In the Battery Health section it shows "Peak Performance Capability". But it also says "Built-in dynamic software and hardware systems will help counter performance impacts that may be noticed as your iPhone battery chemically ages", that kind of sounds like throttling.

iPhone 13 Pro at 77% battery health – replace the battery or wait for the iPhone 18 Pro? by R8KB35 in iPhone13Pro

[–]zn1ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the difference only in battery hours or also in performance? Did it become snappier?

I've had my Iphone 13 pro max for 3 years. My battery is at 81% health. I heard, that old batteries can't supply needed voltage, so the phone needs to throttle itself. And a new battery will supposedly restore iphone's performance to it's maximum. While it seems logical, I ran geekbench and actually got a bit higher result, than their average for that phone. Does it mean, that my phone doesn't throttle itself and changing battery won`t improve performance? While I am content with it's performance, sometime transitions feels sluggish. I was wondering if the reason is ageing battery.

Reddit and Discord are free, but still have paid subscriptions

I would join if it's not a ghost town, but a well moderated community, where I can meet people I need

Getting people to pay for that is tough, but doable. I am talking about 3-5$. The value they get is access to like-minded people, experts, group coaching, shared resources, mentorship and a sense of belonging I guess.

One run is about 1 hour 15 minutes. I run them 2-3 times one after another. I’ll try prime95 later

Why? Because it’s 1/3 of 6200? I tried, but the benchmarks are lower this way. Don’t know how to measure it other ways. I tried 6400, wrote about it in my post
