Slowly and carefully moves the mouse cursor to the checkbox and clicks Enable Shadows.
“Oh wow…”
-
Using the best setting available the game starts lagging again
-
Tone down the graphics there’s still lag
-
Reverted back to the old setting back to normal

well, at least I have my own room heater. my 2012 imac (which I have mint and w10 on) has ~80°C gpu temp when it runs a 2007 game 😄
now I can play on medium quality instead of low
I remember the early x86 games that were actually clocked to the CPU speed. You literally could play old games faster! Or just hit that turbo button!
People still do that way too often in Unity when they don’t understand how to use Update() or FixedUpdate() correctly x.x
fallout 76 also did that
All beth games do that with physics
E: Actually did Starfield fix that issue?
E2: It did, cool
Lol, same. Finally upgraded my GPU from a 1060 to a used 2060. Not exactly with the times, but a huge performance boost for me.
I had several games on the back burner, so when I finished my time with Valheim I intended to finally play RDR2. And do you know what I did? I opened Mod Organizer 2 and installed the graphically intensive but wholly realistic Nature of the Wild Lands tree and flora mod for Skyrim that used to run at 40 FPS but now maintains a solid 60. So we’re playing Skyrim again…
Note: I’m well aware that many people have moved on to Traverse the Ulvenwald over NotWL, but I personally think Ulvenwald makes some poor texture choices compared to Wild Lands (namely aspen trees) and as a result the woods look less convincing to me once properly compared within the game. Just isn’t worth the swaying animations.
Honestly yeah. Finally got a Steam Deck. Found out it plays PSP games buttery smooth on a great screen and have yet to log any hours on actual triple-A games because nostalgia is happening
i mean even your phone can definitely run psp games at full speed, even if it’s a budget phone from 2016.
though mobile controllers are quirky (like stretching ones or whatever) and android is really not the best gaming platform (it just doesn’t feel right)
IQ Level 200…
Just recently bought/built a new pc. 4070ti i9-13900K and the first thing i did was setting max freamerate in all apps to max 60 end every game i start the first thing i do is setting everything to minimum. Playing mostly games like factorio or whatever. The only important thing for me is: never ever any dips below 60fps and almost room temp hardware if possible.
Imagine not using your PC as a space heater for your office
As someone with the same GPU, which games drop below 60 on a 4070Ti without excessive ray tracing…?
basically all pre 30xx cards tend to drop a few frames if some visuals happen to close to the camera, with fog, trees wit high shadow details and when dumping cache and so on. most people don’t even realize these droped frames. For my spoiled me this makes many games borderline unplayable. I can’t stay thouse little hickups. its just so ermersion breaking. and for games that tend to do that with our gpu. Luckily i have not found one yet.
I realized this while playing Overwatch: having settings on Ultra is worthless when you’re whipping the mouse back and forth during a 6v6. I could really use 144 fps over Ultra detail on a Japanese temple.
