  1. tired of seeing these crypto-scams legitimately posted as advertisements on Youtube in general. moderation...Alphabet asks: "what is this concept?"
  2. That YouTube STILL hasn’t shut down the stream is freaking mind boggling. Who is the REAL problem here?
  3. Well firstly have you contacted their support? The site says they support up to RTX 3080…if I recall, didn’t 40 series do away with some popular older encoding variant that perhaps the program requires for hardware acceleration?
  4. In my experience using NVB during interviews/calls/discord/streaming/etc…nobody cared or noticed. It’s practicality is on a “do I need it” basis and being limited to one brand doesn’t make it any better than other options available; for example (in my case) using OBS Virtual Camera with filters and Voicemeeter. I can do nearly the same thing with less resources and equivalent results on almost any machine without an RTX GPU. Maybe not the eye-contact feature, but it’s a little unnatural looking. That said I recently picked up a Fifine USB condenser mic from my local pawn shop for $25 and now use Camo with my iPhone 12 as the camera source for any "live" events, making NVB obsolete altogether.
  5. you can still go to Settings and search "Screen Saver" in Windows 10 for the old school 3D Text one. install and choose any font you want. random text...i'm sure you could probably script something out from github
  6. Beats the hell out of me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've never had to use it and every time an application failed to hook none of the options ever made it work
  7. Kinda, it's attaching itself to a program so it can display system information using the programs own DX/OGL/VK api (something like that, oversimplified.) You control what info is shown in Afterburner settings under the "On Screen Overlay" tab and whatever info you want make sure "Show in OSD" is checked. It can also limit frame rates and change how vsync works, which on my basic level of understanding can help frame pacing and overall smoothness. It's an optional installation next to Afterburner, but some games actually break if it's even opened. You can even get banned because of the way it "hooks" to the games, so do be careful if you play multiplayer. Most devs have fixed that issue, but you should be aware of it. Just play around, Rivatuner isn't gonna break anything if you just use it as an overlay for system/performance information. If an app doesn't load, close Afterburner and Rivatuner and use GFE. Yes, more delay...as in like the standard pollrate is about 1 - 2 second across most monitoring applications. Imagine being so bothered to have that little patience
  8. user error, not having set a hotkey for turning overlay on/off in Afterburner (actually Rivatuner is the overlay, Afterburner controls what's shown...what a dumb setup) but yea, it can be hit or miss. you could get Rivatuner to show up in a Youtube video if you fiddled around enough. you shouldn't need it on all the time anyway. Geforce Experience, settings, Enable GFE Overlay (the hotkey is ALT+Z). I just Win+G because I'm not afraid of Microsofts "Game Mode" like most people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  9. Glad to hear mate! Yeah, Skylake was not the coolest of Intel generations that’s for sure If using on a desk/table it’ll be a good idea to keep the bottom propped up for ventilation. As for the screen, that’s a bit of a bummer. Could always use it over HDMI and add a m+k like a docked PC but that won’t do much for its portability. Just free-PC things haha. Good luck and enjoy!
  10. What do we recommend for playing classic video games? A browse through your local Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, pawn shop and local lonely startup game shop with a sense of moral clarity to start. For everything else, there's Youtube and a search bar
  11. if it's the wrong item, report it and Amazon will just send you another one without checking if they received the first one source: ex-warehouse and delivery associate...the amount of times people told us "this is to replace the broken/wrong desk/chair/TV/Foosball Table they sent the first time, you haven't even removed this one yet" is ungodly lmao
  12. yeah...ok...you're system will do absolutely fine with that pad and its software lmfao. last comment had me about to change my remedy to throwing it back at your e-waste friend. definitely give it a fresh coat of paste, i'm not sure how long you've had it or if your friend had already had that taken care of but if heat is the issue definitely take care of that first. good ol' kryonaut would probably be overkill, but Best Buy has some very decent Corsair TM30 that is only a few bucks for a tube that would go well across half a dozen systems use if you want a quick pick-up. loved the stuff on my Lenovo Legion 5 with a toasty running Ryzen 5 4600H
  13. ivy bridge?! mate...the only reference to OPs Latitude e5570 i can find is running Skylake...that's where my remedy recommendation and inquiry came from. if they're system is THAT old, i instead recommend saving about $300 and get anything in the last 2-3 years
  14. you're gonna wanna repaste the cooler on the CPU by the sounds of it. if at full-tilt the fans aren't cooling it well enough, then there is no fan control software that will help you. now im curious though...are you learning to be a Disc Jockey or are you learning to make/record music/vocals, because they are very different things and the software i am personally aware of for those use cases are very different from each other as are their processing requirements. mixing tracks and syncing edits and that stuff...that wouldn't necessarily ask too much from the system to slow it down that hard. live input from microphones/instruments/midi/compression equipment and the software controlling plugins and extra compression and stuff like that would absolutely rip your computer a new hole during long periods, however.
  15. That's it. I was getting between 10-15% CPU usage on the last version of the program and now it's basically 0. My 5600x was sitting idle between 48-55C degrees on the cores with an NH-D15 and Kryonaut JUST because of the TT app running...now sitting comfortably while watching Youtube at 39C degrees. For reference (though this is an application thread, I think it's relevant because of the usage issue I was having) my room temp is kept at 70(F) degrees because I'm a wuss and hate the cold and the PC is in a Thermaltake View 51 in a push/pull configuration with 6 Thermaltake fans (3 front, 3 top) and 2 more Thermaltake fans swapped on the NH-D15. Case fans are on separate controllers from the CPU fans (front/CPU controlled via headers/bios, top fans by USB/app...not enough headers on B450M Pro-M2 MAX motherboard.) Gaming, everything sits about 5C degrees cooler now with the lowered CPU usage. Temps are entirely my fault, but they're well within range...while gaming, CPU at 4.7ghz/2080ti at 125% power + 70mhz core/100mhz memory, nothing hits over 80C degrees and the system is hardly audible across the room. I'm happy with those temps. Just wanted to throw that out there to anybody else who might have seen such an issue with the program.
