Fortunately, I have no issues with the latest drivers. Last time I played CP2077 it was 2020 and had a 3080. I've been playing for around 50hrs so far, with the new OLED screen and PT update. I have the same with my long time stable OC, isn't stable in this game anymore. It was fine at Q2...

I use 34" ultrawide monitors both at the office and WFH. FancyZones is essential for me. I’ve partitioned the screen estate with 60% for the main app and 40% for others, such as Outlook + Excel, AutoCAD + Excel, Outlook + Opera, PotPlayer/Plex + Opera, etc.

Now paging this sort of information to home assistant server would be interesting.

After returning the LG 34GS95QE-B, I got an MSI 341CQPX. Apart from the stand (which takes up more desk space) and cable management (LG isn’t miles better, but this monitor is slightly worse), I find the main screen properties to be better than the LG. The things I don't like or nitpick are...

Intel Arc B580 GPU, significantly improves ray tracing over its predecessor with upgraded RT Accelerators, increased BVH traversal pipelines (from 2 to 3), and doubled BVH cache (8 KB to 16 KB). These enhancements reduce memory latency and boost performance in complex workloads like Cyberpunk...

The same guy conducted similar tests on 64-bit PhysX games, and using a weak card like GT 1030 as a dedicated PhysX card alongside 4090 yielded mixed results—mostly a minor FPS bump but sometimes even a reduction in overall performance. You need more capable GPU to see a difference.

at times lighting can be quite ugly.

it was around 500MB in 2018

Yeah this is huge improvement over RDNA3, even better than Ada GPUs. Should be great on laptops. 4K@144Hz

someone tested bunch of old PhysX games with RTX 4090 and GTX 750 Ti, GT 1030, RTX 3050 as dedicated PhysX card.
