Hmm, in what way?

Came across this new project this morning and thought I'd share to see what people think. I personally love the idea, and if implemented well, will replace me using Steam with shortcuts for everything! Project Ascension is a free, open-source and cross-platform game launcher developed by the community. And best of all, a public beta is coming this Fall. https://www.projectascension.io/

Dying Light has optimization issues. My GTX 980 fluctuates between 70-30 FPS on medium/low settings. If I use the game's vsync it drops from 60fps all the time. Lots of people reporting similar issues. I just want to lock it to 30fps until it's patched. I can tell by using the FPS overlay in Rivatuner that the settings applied in the game don't hold.

I am trying to limit the framerate for Dying Light using Nvidia Inspector, but no matter what FPS I select, or what vsync options I apply, it doesn't actually apply to the game. I've tried other games too and nothing. I can limit framerate using MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner, but I'd rather use Nvidia Inspector if possible. I am on Windows 8.1, running the program as administrator, and am wondering if anyone else has had this issue or an idea of a possible fix?

You want the one that says Full Range 0-255

First let me say all of this information was the result of me searching online after noticing horrible black levels on my brand new monitor and GTX 980 card, and finding an excellent post on the GeForce forums by user BatJoe. All props go to that user/post which can be found here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/523992/tip-for-nvidia-users-using-hdmi-and-getting-accurate-color-format/ If your display supports Full RGB, which most do, you may notice you aren't getting the right colors and the blacks don't seem so black and the whites don't seem so white. This is because despite under Display->Adjust Desktop Color Settings your digital color format being set at RGB, its actually by default set at Limited RGB, not Full. The following patch will fix it: http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/NV_RGBFullRangeToggle.zip

Thanks for the replies, all! I ended up getting the wheel base for the pc to slide around my 1-story home (should have mentioned that in the original post). Working great so far!

Hi all! I built my first PC this summer for gaming and while I love it, my goal was to be able to use Nvidia Gamestream, or Steam in-home streaming to play games on my living room and bedroom TVs when I didn't want to sit in my office. While the game streaming technology is good, it's not great for 1080p/60fps streaming, even on a wired ethernet connection (there's just too much stutter for my liking). I'm wondering if I just get something like this, and roll the PC to the room I want to use it in, plug it in via hdmi, would that be bad for it? I'm very careful with my tech, but if it's bad for the computer to be disconnected and reconnected semi-regularly, I won't risk it. Any thoughts, or advice would be appreciaetd!

Thank you Linus Group for creating such wonderful content which inspired, and gave me the confidence to build my first computer! You guys rock!

Looks SLICK man. Great job!

Very slowly haha

Gaming is my passion. I bought an Xbox One after having a 360 since it came out, and while I love the XB1 as an all-around media/gaming device, I was disappointed with "next gen" graphics that it produces. I decided that rather get a PS4 for a marginal graphical improvement that I would tackle my fear of PC building. With the help of Linus' different YouTube channels and some good friends, I learned everything I needed to about building a PC in a quick time. My budget started MUCH smaller, approximately $400, which I had a friend pick out parts and assemble for, and he did a great job. However, a few weeks later I realized that I should have spent the money to get better components the first time. Slowly but surely every single part (except for the hard drive) got upgraded in the span of a month. I went from a Cooler Master n200 case with a pentium CPU, Corsair bronze 500 PSU, and GTX 560ti to what I have now. Had to sell some things I had around the house on eBay, and my Xbox 360, but at the end of the day, I spent about $500 out of pocket for this rig. Now, before you say it, I know I could have gone i5 with a GTX 780, but I do also edit multiple podcasts and do photoshop/web design on the side, so I wanted a little more CPU power. Also, I know I could have gone the AMD route, but I have an Nvidia Shield which I LOVE, and being able to play my PC games in bed next to my wife via gamestream has completely sold me as an Nvidia customer for life. I'm really proud of the build, and Linus Tech Tips has become a daily stop for me to enjoy videos, tutorials, other's builds and the community, and I just wanted to share. Moral of the story: PC gaming really is the best and half the fun is picking out parts and building it all!

Hi all, I have recently finished putting together my first gaming rig, and am LOVING it. Since I work 8-5 daily, I only use the computer at night for gaming, mostly through GameStream on my Nvidia Shield. Because I'm not using the computer for the bulk of the day, I've been turning it completely off each night after use. However, if I buy a game during the work day because of a flash sale, etc, I'd like the ability to "wake" my PC up to begin downloads so they're ready to go when I get home. In order to do so I can use software to "Wake on Lan", but it appears that you need to leave your computer in Sleep mode as it won't wake from full shutdown. What would the risks or benefits be to leaving my PC in sleep mode to accomplish this? What do you all do?
