Fantastic game.  So incredibly beautiful and engaging.  Loved it.

Ghost of a Tale is FREE right now on GOG. 92% Very Positive reviews on Steam... Link.

Free to keep when claimed before Thursday, December 15th, 2022.
 
Ghost of a Tale is mostly a one-man project by Lionel Gallat, a veteran DreamWorks and Universal Pictures animator and animation director who worked on films such as The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado and Shark Tale, with the occasional help of friends on certain aspects of the development.
 
Gallat was inspired by films such as The Secret of NIMH, The Dark Crystal and Disney's Robin Hood as well as the Redwall book series and the fantasy drawings of Alan Lee, John Howe and Paul Bonner. Video games such as the Legend of Zelda series, Dark Souls, and Ico also influenced the title, with Gallat stating that "I'm really trying to recapture the sense of wonder I felt as a kid when I discovered the games from the 80s and early 90s. But with an AAA quality (as far as I'm able) that's very much up-to-date."
 
Gallat originally began work on the game in CryEngine but found that engine too difficult to use and so switched the project to Unity. Although Ghost of a Tale was designed to be "primarily a PC title" Microsoft expressed interest in the project and invited the team to release the game on the Xbox One.

Well your guide seems to be better after all. I got Pi hole installed and running, but it doesn't seem to be properly blocking ads. There are some blocked queries, but it's a low percentage compared to what I've seen. 1.5% vs ~20%.
 
The IP address of the PC running Docker is static, and is set as the primary DNS server in the DHCP settings of my router. The router is properly telling devices on the network to use the pi hole IP as the DNS. I suspect the pi hole is getting bypassed somehow. I have some troubleshooting to do....

Reminds me of another popular retailer for computer parts... *cough* New *cough* Egg *cough*

And my components are in the 40C range when this stuttering occurs (or like 60 when gaming). Again, no thermal or clock limits are being reached.
Again, no thermal issues.
My BIOS is currently completely default.
My BIOS is currently default. I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but is there any attempt to be helpful here? You clearly didn't read anything that I wrote.
As in no power saving? I can try that but I hesitate to spend the time on it given the complete lack of relevance of everything else that was said.
No pagefile was a potential troubleshooting tip for the massive stutter I'm experiencing. I'm not trying to improve my gaming experience here, just to achieve a working setup.

Now you guys have me worried about the Ryzen 5 5600 I ordered. It showed up seemingly intact, but I haven't put it in the PC yet.
  
That's why I've bought all my drives from brick-and-mortar stores. There are ways to get into the boxes without breaking the seals, but you can tell if you inspect the boxes very carefully.
 

I literally downloaded it earlier too...
 

It's linked right in the article you listed as source...

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS. I WAS LOOKING OR IT

unless your PC has terrible cooling, your components will return to idle temps within a matter of seconds after load is removed from them. So it really shouldn't matter at all.

nothing will cool the devices faster than turning them off, therefore stopping heat generation. In the time it takes you to quit a game and your pc to shut down, core temps on the GPU and CPU go back close to idle. the heatsinks may still be warm, but theyll do what theyre designed to do, radiate heat out.

Pretty good, especially compared to 6650XT offerings.
If you wait for midnight, shipping will be free (if the deal is still available then).

EDIT: Reduced by 3 EUR


Heck, I bought it for 373, I feel scammed. 🤣

* your thread was moved to the Troubleshooting section *

So can I, I already have. But this is not what you said was it.
 
You know very well the story is much longer and more complicated than this. You'd be more accurate in such a statement if you said smaller memory bus then it's slower, but even that depends on other things like cache sizes.
 
That equating performance to VRAM capacity is wrong and will always be wrong. The actual reason these products are slower is not the VRAM capacity. Signifying them via VRAM capacity designations will forever be reinforcing misinformation. 
 
Well it's a good thing I already address that with my first reply to you today about it. I've told you already when it's acceptable to only designate the capacity and no other situation.

Just because the box has a particular layout does not mean that's the official name of the product.
When I go to for example Newegg to order a GPU, the product name includes the VRAM amount. That matters way more than what the box looks like, because you only get the box after you have bought the product (when buying online, the reverse is true for buying things in physical stores).
 
The product name on stores like Newegg.com, which includes the VRAM amount, is far more important than what the box looks like.

Now we are just going to re-do already existing discussions. No this is not same thing, at all. You want people to disregard existing common knowledge and understanding about established naming conventions and standards always assuming something on the end they don't fully understand must always mean something like a performance difference.
 
This is reinforcing the mindset of making bad, ill-informed assumptions that I simply cannot support. Nor do I think everyone is going to treat it like you think.
 
To a lot of people that have some understanding of Nvidia model naming an RTX 3060 will always be just that irrespective of what is slapped on the end unless it fits within a known model designation and there are matching products people talk about and review i.e. your 3080 vs 3080 Ti.
 
There is no basis for 8GB or 12GB to signify a single thing in regards to Nvidia product model names, it's just something on the end that might mean something. I know what it means, you know what it means, I know it doesn't just mean VRAM capacity like I think it should and nothing else. I don't assume everyone thinks like you or me.
 
And I simply cannot agree that RTX 3050 Ti is functionally equivalent to RTX 3060 8GB and not more clarifying based on the above reasoning. I've repeated this once just for you since I know you have not read the whole topic.
 
Anyway the fundamental point is established and understood naming actually matters, more than maybe you want to believe. And it doesn't excuse how simple it would have been to avoid naming conflicts like this, that alone is a big problem to me. How easily avoidable it is.

Once again. That's wrong. 
 

 

 

 

 
see the difference in names? 

Well I'm sorry but I will never agree that less VRAM = less performance, should mean this, be normalized or anything otherwise.
 
I won't address it because as I've pointed to much earlier, this point has been address thoroughly to death.
 
RTX 3060 8GB and RTX 3060 12GB must have the same performance otherwise change the damn model name. It's not hard.
 
Because in my post I said there would have been no benchmarks otherwise yet you went in on the I'd look at benchmarks line which would have been impossible which is a big part of the entire point and why this type of thing is a problem.
 
You cannot claim you should inform yourself if that information is being withheld from you.
 
And anyway just because you would have doesn't mean everyone would. An RTX 3060 is an RTX 3060, wait but is it? But the reviews just say RTX 3060, this is the same thing right? Just with 8GB. There is any number of situations where things would not turn out like you'd say they would and the most easy way to avoid that is a different model name altogether. It is the most safe, consumer first way to do it.

There is an RTX 3060 product page yes, obviously there is. I suggest you go take a look at it. Look all over it at all the marketing information and around the performance of the RTX 3060 and tell me if you can see two different RTX 3060's on it showing different performances.
 
The product page does have the specifications for both variants, yet only shows the information and performance for the original 12GB
 
.It's an official Nvidia model variant that is offered by multiple AIBs, could well be all of them eventually.
 
And if nobody had bothered to buy the card and review it? You know since Nvidia didn't notify reviewers nor send out review samples. Relying on the diligence of reviewers to spot these things and put in the effort to investigate is acceptable situation to you?

This is an actually terrible argument that doesn't address a single point raised in the topic about the issue of having 8GB and 12GB on the end.
 
I want to address it but I know it's actually pointless. "Opinions can be wrong, that is one of them". I feel very strongly this applies.

Explain that one then. Tell me how you would of known the difference?

No it isn't, excuse me but I quoted a review that stipulated the correct information and even has the performance information of both showing identical performance to back that up.
 

 
It's the same die for both cut down the same way. And it's not just those two major models that use the same die either.
 

 
HD6930 uses it too.
 
P.S. Actual owner of a 6970 and still has it.

I always find it amazing how some people will absolutely lose their shit over something that realistically won't matter (if it's about Nvidia of course).
 
I genuinely do not understand how this will in any way mislead people. Granted, I didn't understand how people would be mislead by the 4080 12GB vs 16GB models either but I guess I am one of those crazy people who read the full name and description of an item before buying something for ~1000 dollars.
 
 
Let's say that some extremely oblivious person who doesn't look at benchmarks or follow hardware news is going to order an RTX 3060. I think we are already making up a rather unrealistic scenario because such a person would probably have no idea what an RTX 3060 even is and would just buy some PC at bestbuy without knowing what the specs even mean.
Anyway... let's say they go to a site like newegg and look at the GPU selection.
 
This is the product name of the first RTX 3060 I could find on Newegg is named:
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3060 Venus 2X 12G OC
 
If we go on MSI's website we find that the name of the graphics card is:
GeForce RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X 12G OC
 
If we go to the new product's page we can see that the name of the card is:
Inno3D RTX3060 Heijin Supreme 8GB GDDR6 desktop/E-sports/game graphics card
 
 
So let's say our hypothetical gamer that doesn't read reviews and doesn't follow hardware news is now going to drop about 400 dollars on a graphics card.
Are we really going to make the argument that they will stop reading the product name exactly after having read 3060? That they won't continue reading the other numbers behind it?
Because if that's the argument we are making, then I would also make the argument that Intel and AMD are misleading and trying to decieve people by calling their products for example "Ryzen 9 7900" and "Ryzen 9 7950", because we shouldn't expect people to read more than "Ryzen 9 79.." and if someone were to not read the last two digits then they would be fooled into buying a lesser product. Maybe they have just read that the "Ryzen R9 is good" and then buy the product based on that? Same argument as "maybe they heard the RTX 3060 was good and buy based on that".
 
 
 
In before people call me a boot licker, that I worship the leather jacket man, that I am a shill, that they will ignore me, or that I am dumb and will buy Nvidia products solely based on the brand regardless of how good their products are. Or any of the other very hostile comments I have seen people post as soon as they don't jump on the Nvidia hate bandwagon every chance they get.
