Can you help me to understand Frame Gen and Upscaling? (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone, I have a 6600XT and I am just recently approaching these technologies. Everything I read on the web and on yt seems to contradict itself.

This is what I understand:

  • FSR (and Super res): it's upscaling and you can use it to make a game smoother (so technically I could go from 30 to 60 fps)?
  • AFMF is a frame generator so technically it's a win-more-condition, if I have 60 fps I can do better, but it doesn't improve something that isn't already fluid.

That said beyond the fact that FSR 2 (on Baldur's Gate 3 for example) makes everything a bit grainy and blurry compared to native resolution, I did this test:

BG3 on an ultrawide screen at 2100x900 high details, native runs me at 43 fps.

FSR2 (quality) + AFMF: I get 190fps

But 190fps goes beyond the 75Hz of my Freesync monitor. And the frame cap in game seems to turn off. Radeon Chill cannot be enabled, so is there a workaround? Other than using custom drivers like R.ID, which seem to be stuck at the March release?

But it really makes sense for soft pacing single player to have all that FPS without a frame cap? Do I understand well the case-scenario where I should use one or the other tech?

Thanks

I used to love Android but I want to move, and I don't know if it's the right thing. (lemm.ee)
 

I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don't even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

  • how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?

  • I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn't see it)

  • surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

Smokey's Simple Guide To Search Engine Alternatives in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] TheDuckPrince@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I discovered searx via this post, currently I use startpage which is the only one that restiuses me results as similar as possible to google. Is it possible to get a similar result with Seraxng? because it seems to me that the results are always very strange, it returns sites that are often inconsistent or unfamiliar. To give an example, if I search for searx in google the first result is wikipedia and the fourth searx.space, while in searxng the results are different depending on the instance used. Thank you

Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73% in c/linux@lemmy.ml

If only linux gaming and thermal became more and more robust, in few year I will switch too with pleasure. Adobe suite can still be a problem but not for me anymore at least.

do you think it's worth to update an old CR-10s? (lemm.ee)
 

Hi! I have an old CR10-s, I don't have money to buy a new, and more performant printer, so I just used and spare OrangePi PC that I had to use klipper, and I love it! It was so satisfying. Now I want to change the fan inside the awful control box but then? I read about stepper dumper are useful? I want to install a BLtouch, TL smoother and a ADXL345 for input shaping. but do you think it's worth? I also tried to find info about new and more silent stepper driver, but for what I understood I can't install them on my stock board, is that correct? I should move to a Bigtreetech?

All of this will cost me like maybe 60$ + maybe sth if I want to put a noctua on the extruder and a magnetic plate...

To sum up: does this planned updates worth? do I need to move to a new board for the stepper driver? it's better to throw away the printer? (I'm joking). I want to achieve a more reliable print, lower noise and a little more speed.

(see the anycubic viper is so damn fast)

Thank you a lot in advance

The problem is that there is no real competitor to fusion. If you think about usability/learning curve

The biggest problem here for now it's the fediverse search engine. It's hard to find c/ but I think this is a matter of time

Is anyone concer about denuvo on switch? (lemm.ee)
 

This morning I read the article about Denuvo on Switch. What do fellow pirates think of this? Could it pave the way for that crap on other consoles as well? Is it time to become a datahearer? (⌐■_■)
