  • Decided to benchmark with my system quickly just to get some idea of performance, have a 4070ti for reference. I recall dlss frame gen giving markedly improved frames in windows.

    Cyberpunk 2077 @3440x1440, Ultra + Raytracing on with ray traced lighting at ultra, no pathtracing. DLSS and FSR set to quality. All of these are just averages, nothing was really wild with minimum fps or anything.

    DLSS only ~53 fps
    DLSS + DLSS Frame Gen ~78 fps
    DLSS + DLSS Frame Gen + DLSS Ray Reconstruction ~77 fps

    AMD fsr 3 only ~48 fps
    AMD fsr 3 + FSR Frame Gen ~94 fps
    AMD fsr 3 + DLSS Frame Gen ~78 fps

    I’m actually impressed with the performance of FSR frame gen, didn’t expect it to be that much higher, could be that dlss frame gen is super new in linux? Probably not worth speculation. Also can’t comment on perceived looks of them though, that’s going to be super subjective.

    This is all on arch with the most up to date nvidia open drivers with proton experimental.




  • I was just blaming the usb-c connection to my monitor and throttling on a combo of windows and corporate bloatware, I guess I feel a bit better that I’m not the only one.

    The connection to my monitor is the most frustrating, sometimes won’t even recognise it, sometimes after blanking the display it’ll come back with the wrong resolution but still display like it was the original, it’s super bizarre. Literally never had an issue with my personal Asus zenbook in either Debian or w11.






  • PCPO got a majority with 40% of the votes, with a 43.5% turnout, that’s something like 17.4% of all eligible voters. I’ve seen people say that oh Horwath was uninspiring etc etc, their (the NDP) platform sounded pretty good to me and again, you vote for your local rep in our system, not the party leader (unless you lived in Horwath’s riding).

    Be real, I don’t personally care about how inspiring a politician is, I’d rather they have a good platform and hold people accountable.











  • How the hell was that even issued? Ianal obviously, my recollection from uni engineering was that Prior Art matters.

    Also, given that there’s a lot of skilled people in the field these days, you’d think some of these patents could be challenged as being “obvious to a skilled person”, bed levelling to me could fit that bill given it’s a common issue that would make sense to pursue a solution for. Granted I’m not versed in us patent law (I barely have a basic understanding of Canadian Patent Law), so maybe that’s different.
