  1. Well some good news for those who have the 2080 ti and no money to upgrade to the 4000 series. Alan Wake 2 runs at > 70 fps with the FSR3 mod on it at high at 4K need to set "m_bLensDistortion": false, in AppData\Remedy\Renderer.ini to get rid of some ghosting effect on the main char when moving, but other than that it looks quite nice. the FSR3 mod is here -> https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738 an alternative is this mod -> https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/757 which also supports intels xee models. there is also one for slightly older AMD cards but it is a paid mod and the author got himself into quite a shitstorm due to some rude behaviour so i wont link it here, look for LukeFZ if you really must. The other FSR3 mods require an RTX or Xee card so for nvidia everything from a 20 series and 30 series. The LukeFZ mod also supports the older GTX 10 series. One thing to note is that your card must be able to handle atleast 30 FPS minimum else it will look like crap and if movement is laggy without it it will still be laggy with framegen (this also applies to cards that support it natively like the 40 series).
  2. btw just want to mention theres a bug in the latest nvidia driver breaking dlss in a lot of games.
  3. had a hard time remembering the last commodore i had but i finally found it. https://cdtvland.com/hardware/ the cdtv 1000 was unfortunatly one of the last commodore before they went poof. notable was that it could not accept cd's directly but needed a caddy, there where also numerous addons to it like a scart adapter. the pc itself was basically an amiga 500 with a cd drive, it did run amigaos 1.3 which was not bad for its time remember this was a desktop os before win/anything. unfortunatly getting one these days will be prohibitively expensive as they have become something of a collectors item...
  4. big problem with that is that we are nearing a point where the electrons cant travel safely anymore (something to do with things on the quantum level), i guess they need to speed up development of light based computers or get smart with autoreconfiguring gateways internally in processors.
  5. guess moore will have his day yet -> several decades after it was predicted , but maybe those pesky engineers will have another ephiphany drilling down to < 1nm hehe.
  6. As for distros -> Solus due to it being one of the few that works well with my hardware (does not offer the same ammount of packages most other distros do as they test each of them extensively for stability issues before they go into the package manager). Linux Mint seems to be pretty liked as well. OpenSuse probably the best for cross development. Manjaro should also be pretty good for gaming. Arch Linux for its massive package database (can be a bit hard to setup) Msys2 is based around the arch package manager so should be good for cross development to. Zorin OS if you want something close to windows (had a few rather annoying bugs with Lutris on it the last time i tried it though).
  7. Aye solus has been rather fun to dip into most games work quite well with it also (still you will need some wine fu to get everything running if you mainly play windows games, that said steam and Lutris makes it atleast pretty manageble). you should still be able to upgrade to win10 for free if you get the win10 media creation tool from microsoft (you can also upgrade to win 11 if your hardware is supported -> needs a TPM module and atleast a gen 8 cpu). im still on a gen 6 so no win 11 for me unless i hack it (you can disable the hardware check with a registry key but only if upgrading from a previous version). If used to Win7 the interface in Win10 can be a little daunting with its massive live tiles, if you cant stand how it looks get something like openshell which will bring back a more standard start menu with easy access to the old control panel.
  8. looks like quite the small powerhouse
  9. wtf... the second cable was also the wrong type the third worked and the board runs again . corsair has some explaining to do i reckon since all my current PSU's are from them and the only indicator that the type is not for that PSU is a small badge printed on the connector that its either a type 3 or 4 (both fit on the modular types but only one will work) the models are a 750 watt cw and a 1000 watt hx. the hx was the one i swapped in and its a gold certified PSU with 10 years warranty. the cables despite the type number are also visually the same except the type 4 having 1 cable mounted differently and is the only one that fits the hx model appareantly. luckily the cable that is mounted differently has no connection inside the 1000 watt PSU so thats a plus as otherwise it would probably had incurred damage to either the board or the PSU but damn...
  10. damn i just broke the mainboard on my gaming pc switching PSU i did not notice that the cable for the 8 pin cpu power was the wrong type for that PSU and now it wont boot at all sigh... strangely it does light up the leds but the fans and qcode display stay of no matter what, there are 2 leds at the buttom that light up but according to the manual they just show the board has power so lol. luckily my 2080 ti still works and the ram also seems to have survived, havent tested the cpu or disks yet.
  11. I agree, it had to happen with the move towards ultra reality . I suspect the comming years will be quite interresting
  12. in case you wonder my beard was white when i hit 25 only started getting some grey streaks in my hair in the last two years hehe. and for those younger here enjoy your youth while you have it at around 40 the problems start (just look at those receeding hairlines atrocious!!!), well if the hair was my only problem i could live with it hehe i also got gall stones kidney stones and a nasty fall which broke my back in two places at around that time. So enjoy it while you can or stay away from ladders
  13. well the fsr3 mod from nukem gave the old 2080 ti a massive boost. i can play it at high with medium raytracing now at 117 fps . there is some minimal ghosting in some scenes with framegen on but overall its very good looking. at 4k i suspect things would look very different fps wise.
  14. happy b-day ill hit 57 this summer and not feeling a day older than 97 damn...
