Exactly this. You can't just go charging in and hope for the best. You have to plan your attack and take advantage of your surroundings. Tag the bots you are attacking to concentrate on them 1 by 1. I grinded a bit for my 3 arrow shot, and I'm trying to max out my silent strikes.

Ultra hard is such a pain in the ass, and I LOVE it. It is what I would expect from fighting big chunky heavy robots with energy weapons. It really requires a lot of stealth I'm only about 31 hours in, and a few hours ago I passed to the main territory. I grinded a bit to get my triple arrows...

I'm the oddball running 2235 x 1397 @ 83Hz calculated to 375Mhz pixel clock. No flickering and silky smooth when locked to refresh rate. I'm also on the StarTech DP2VGAHD20, and I do have a spare just in case.

Does it still have horrible pop-in of objects when walking around? This is the main reason I couldn't deal with the game years ago.

I need to disagree with this statement. So many people call it a walking sim yet I drove most of the game even when I didn't build the highway system. The first map is heavily based on walking, but once the bike is attained, you can take it everywhere. Problem with the first map is you can't...

Hmm more weapons means better enemies? I went through DS with just using the Bola on the Mules and Terrorists. Looks fantastic.

Being an 80s kid, I think I’m going to have to buy it. I sure hope my little 10gb in my 3080 can pull the job at almost 1440p considering all the replies here.

I got 300+ hours in DS. I am definitely looking forward to DS2.

Have I ever mentioned how beautiful RDR2 looks on the FW? :geek:

I think it's fine. I just finished RDR2 with keyboard & mouse aim assist off. This game is so ridiculously easy. Zero difficulty anywhere, and then it hit me why: it's a console port. They have to make the game easy for the kids on their consoles and controllers, TV input lag, etc. The problem...

I’m gonna have to look out for that!

I only started playing RDR2 in Nov, and I'm fascinated with how it looks. I never played RDR so I can't compare the gameplay, but I'm loving RDR2 so far. Yeah, the NPCs have their quirks, and maybe they could act a bit more realistic, but whatever. I'm really enjoying the countryside without the...

I guess I'm joining the slacker club then. :ROFLMAO:

That roadmap has me both excited for a FW900 replacement but pretty bummed out at only seeing :9 ratios on it. Why is the industry so anti:10 and higher? I LOVE more vertical. I'm not looking at my screens through Robocop's visor.

That phosphor decay slightly bugs me when you are in a dark area with only a few small light sources, but it's an elegant decay rate that softly and quickly goes away. I never see it other wise. Ok, so going by all the comments, the magical OLED screens with 1000mhz refresh and BFI are coming...

I've decided to stay away from mining boards all together. The power thing you mentioned is now just one more reason to stay away.

I'm still using the StarTech DP2VGAHD20 I tested back in mid 2020. Currently connected to an EVGA 3080 2235 x 1397 83Hz : 375Mhz pixel clock I even bought a back up. That 395mhz model sure looks tempting!

I so enjoyed the first. What a shame. I was waiting for the game to get properly patched up to finally jump into it, but I guess that will never happen.

Congrats! Nice big chunker.

USB powered. Funny that it never made a difference if I powered up my Delock 87685 (the DPU3000's twin) or not. That seems awefully expensive considering the StarTech DP2VGAHD20 is still sold for $41, and it provides the same performance, in my testing, as the Delock 87685.

And who would have guessed people are now spending near $10k for NIB FW900s.

Ok guys. I connected a flux capacitor to a Uhual truck. Who wants to go back to 2005 with me to pick up as many CRTs as possible for reselling today? :woot:

I think the devs finally mentioned somewhere they are now working on it. For a time, there was an urban legend going around that they were paid off by the consoles to not include RT so that it doesn’t look better than the consoles.

Originally I was thinking of starting out with a bunch of 1050s or 1060s. Then I came across single slot 1660s but discovered they are too rare. Then I kept comparing PPDs vs watts with all cards up to the 4000s, and I felt like I was back at square one lol. A 4060 will eat up about 110w pumping...

I just came across this tread. Lots of data. Faster cards will want that 3.0. Oh well. I was really hoping to be able to use my old EVGA mb. https://hardforum.com/threads/pcie-speed-folding-performance.1902126/

I have not, but good to know on that setting!

Hi. Long term (since mid 2000s) FW900 on the gaming rig user, and I'm also addicted. I was told recognizing you have an addiction is the first step :D . I always try to look for threads like this because of the FW900's finite life even though I sometimes go weeks without using it, its time will...

Oh, it's just a socket 1155 with a 3770k. I'm sure I'll get it up and running. I used to have a few rigs folding, and I really believe in the cause.

OMG..it's the FIRST thing I turn off in games! Sad, isn't it? I feel that an entire generation of hit scan games were obliterated because of LCDs. Good to know I'm not the only one sensitive to the input lag. Maybe others have input lag between their hands and their eyes which is why they don't...

Sometimes I feel like this is my main reason. I'm one of the old farts that has been gaming with first person shooters since the early 90s. When I first tested an LCD for gaming in the mid 2000s, people thought I was crazy when I mentioned I felt lag between the time you push the mouse and the...

Yeah, that I'm aware of. You made me think about it a bit more this morning, and I came across this nifty thread here: https://hardforum.com/threads/pcie-speed-folding-performance.1902126/ Seems like there isn't too much of a difference between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0. One of my slots will run...

Hi all. How CPU bound are folds these days? I've been thinking of using my EVGA Z68 FTW 1155 board since it has 6 PCIe x16 slots and using, maybe, 6 slim GPUs on it or perhaps just 3 regular sized GPUs. But the fastest CPU the board takes is my 3770k. Will the 3770k bog down 3 or 6 GPUs folding?

I had the HP version that died late 2000s. The thought didn’t even cross my mind to get it repaired. I simply tossed it.

I've been offered between $2000-$3000 for mine. I've had it since about 2010. It's only connected to my gaming rig. When I game, I use it about 10-15 hours a week, but some weeks I don't even game. I've been very tempted to buy an OLED to compare to it. But buying a gaming monitor hurts my...

1920x1200 @ 96Hz is the most I was able to get out of the FW. 97Hz was out of scan range. It sounds like your FW was simply crying for help at 96 which is why it is behaving better at 92. With all the different resolutions I've tested at, I finally settled at 2235x1397 @ 83Hz using Custom...

Hehe…I lurk around once in a while. My FW is still fine but dread the day needing to find a replacement. OLED seems to be catching up, though.

Amazing some of the new in the box examples some of you have. Jeesh! You guys are rather fortunate. :)

Couldn’t the pots themselves be going bad? I mean it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had a potentiometer type thing go bad losing contact inside.

Well...there actually IS a bad focus / fuzzy picture section there, but the real question is am I daring enough to go hunting for them. I didn't know there were focusing pots in it, and the fuzzy sometimes happening, stops, then does it again then stops doing it after a powercycle makes me...

Anyone ever get a temporary fuzzy/slightly out of focus image? It’s happened to me twice. Once a few months ago and again this morning. Degauss didn’t do anything. Power cycling it makes the image clear again, and it’s been back to normal for an hour.
