That's what I used to do. Like e.g valorant, CSGO/2 , overwatch, OSU and clone hero all were set to ULMB, global was gsync. Now I can't do this and because I have an older 1440p 165hz monitor pixel OD is awful, so I have to use ULMB on these games or just deal with terrible ghosting. Totally gone nowz can't use it.

I went to Nvidia about an issue with ULMB not showing up. And got this link in response: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5518/kw/ULMB "For simplicity and reliability NVIDIA has removed the ULMB setting from the Monitor Technology section of the NVIDIA control panel" so now due to "Simplicity" whenever i play a game I want to use ULMB over gsync, i need to: Open nvidia control panel turn off gsync set my monitor to 144hz go into my monitor OSD enable ULMB then finally play the game. Then when I'm done, reverse all of those steps. It's incredibly sad, to have this just cut, what's everyone's thoughts?

So I recently had to do this AGAIN and was unable to find any good resource online on how to do it, other than "yeah just change permissions and delete it lol" or "format your drive, its dead" My Xbox app wants to install on a drive that previously had some windows apps on it from an old install, It tells me to "set default location" and clear old data but then it throws an error! I don't want to format my drive, and changing permissions on its own are not enough to actually do this so what do you actually have to do? Thankfully, when wrestling windows with this for the 4th time, I remembered to actually note down what I was doing to fix it, because every time I have to do it, google is useless. Prerequisites: WinDIRstat: https://windirstat.net/ Take Ownership Regkey: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-add-take-ownership-context-menu-windows-10-a.html Step 1: Find your "Windows Apps" Folder on the drive in question and rename it to "Windows Apps.old". Step 2: Rightclick the file and "Take Ownership" and let that script run its course. Step 3: Scan that drive with WinDIRstat, and delete all the subfolders and subfiles you can (the subfiles WILL throw an error but that's normal) Step 4: Delete the "Windows Apps.old" folder in explorer. It will throw an error saying you cant do it. click cancel, refresh your explorer window and it should be gone. Its stupid, and has been a problem for as long as I can remember. Basically an old windows install "Marks" this folder, so your new windows install doesn't have the rights to delete it, and you cant give yourself rights to just delete it either, you need to jump through stupid hoops. Hopefully, this helps someone not have to format their drive, and more than likely I will stumble onto this in a few months when I need to try and delete this folder again after windows shits itself lol

so CPU test for cinebench was shocking. undid my overclock and performed worse as cinebench kept crashing (been fine and stable for 2 years) i had 8052 Firestrike my GPU was above average with a score of 14 951 and the average is 13 722 Not quite sure where to go from here

So i've tested it in: LoL, Valorant, Osu, and SW BF2 all the same issue, it seems to be across the board sometimes if i move the mouse quick enough on desktop it flickers wallpaper engine too. Even turning polling rate down to 125 i feel like my performance is bad. 80-125 FPS valorant low at 1440p doesnt seem right to me on a 3070 and i could have sworn i was getting close to 200 before the "issue" happened

Hi Everyone, So yeah exactly that. Everythings have been fine now all of a sudden my game FPS is near halved and any mouse movement absolutely destroys my FPS. I've turned my mouse polling rate down from 1000 to 125 (changing to 500 did nothing) and that's helped, and made things playable, but stuff like esports games are a no-go atm due to insane micro stutters. I've Attached system info below, and here's some steps I've done to try and fix it: DDU'd Updated all drivers to the newest version tried rolling back display drivers (did nothing so updated them again) ran SFC ran Malwarebytes disabled any background tasks Toggled game mode Ran windows in performance mode removed overclocks (then reapplied them because it made no difference) Now I'm pretty much stuck. Can someone help? super stuck on this one :/ Thanks in advance :) System info (yes I know windows 11 but it's not caused an issue until all of a sudden today) : https://imgur.com/a/vb6AxcJ and a 3070 aorus master

Ahh I see. i'll have to try the 1080Ti with the 650W but the 650W is pretty much brand new, I don't see it being on the way out tbh

after reinstalling windows I got into windows, did that in MSI afterburner to some success. but it artifacts like crazy and restarted the graphics drivers after about 10-30 seconds. don't quite understand how it works in one PC but not the other. unless 650W just isn't enough for that GPU, only thing I can think of is the extra wattage

positive. it works with another card in it. It just doesn't like that card specifically

that's my next step, I'm gonna rip the power supply out of my main PC and try it out. But considering I recently replaced the power supply in that PC I'm not sure it's gonna fix the issue. Only thing I can think is that the cards VRM's are dying and it just needs waaaaay more power. hence why it's working on a 1000w PSU. And I've tried it in 2 systems, albeit they are close to identical

okay, so good updated, and windows reinstalled. Now I can get into windows with this GPU on this PC but the amount of artifacts are insane. I don't understand why I'm not seeing this on the other PC however

*Edit: I fixed it. The card diddnt like some windows aero features and for some reason caused it to crash. I turned these features off in safe mode and it now works perfectly. I've got it in game running smooth as butter.* So, This is kind of a long story. TLDR: GPU works in my main PC but not in my secondary. Specs: Non working with GPU: I7 6700kCPU Asus H110i Mini ITX MOBO 16GB 2333mhz RAM (New line)CX650M PSU Working with GPU: R7 2700X CPU X470 Prime -F MOBO 16GB 3333Mhz RAM EVGA G1000 PSU So now for the longer version. I bought an RX 480 on eBay for £30 "non working, black screen when in windows". Every other time I've seen this problem it's either A: Dead bios. B: dying or crappy PSU. So I bought it and threw it in my main PC, low and behold it works. The reason I bought this is for my dedicated VR PC as it's been built totally on the cheap (£120 with the GPU). Once I got the card, I took out my 1080Ti, Nuked the drivers, put the 480 in and got drivers installed no fuss, and boom GPU works. Played Overwatch at 1440p just fine, so cleaner my driver's, put my main PC back together and went to put it in the mini PC, and as soon as it got into windows after about 5 seconds it black screened. So with that I thought that maybe my PSU was dead, it worked with my R9 280, but that's years old and no where near as demanding, I was dealing with an old line CX750 Here so, I got a new line PSU that's brand new from my girlfriend (it was used for about 2 weeks before being replaced with a EVGA P1000 so it's fine) I've tried a lot here, I've got drivers installed by having the CPU as the output monitor and it just crashes. I'm at the point here where I genuinely do not know if it's windows fuckery, or there is something wrong. Any ideas or next steps for me to go with here?? Thanks!
