  1. "you're missing some posting requirements." Lists example where veracity is laughable. Whats interesting is Alex from Digital Foundry actually speaks to this outfit. And they show up in my Google feed, but they distribute misinformation that offends Gabenized scientists. Looking forward to advancements in Linus science so we can start seeing mods on LTTstore.com that implant Linus character models and traits into the game franchise that supports chad upgrades. Im imagining what would happen if Linus went full retro modder, and surprised the industry with his super chad texture mods that were out of this world. He would make millions more selling it from a reliable venue. And then finally Linus labs could afford to invest in space missions to the moon to begin rare earth collection logistics so we can afford the RTX 5090 series as a civilization. @ 04:10 @ 02:59 Lol our Leader is worried about 500$ like Elon Musk is worried about Aliens invading Earth. Pretty soon the Linus Empire will be manufacturing antimatter by encircling black holes to achieve the ultimate efficiency possible.
  2. Prey 2006 gets a 4.4GB HD Mod that overhauls all of its textures (dsogaming.com) "This mod uses AI upscaling techniques in order to overhaul all of the game’s textures." Whats funny is this is impossible in some cases without reprogramming the game. In other words its lazy journalism. https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/laa-4gb-memory-patches-released-for-doom-3-half-life-2-resident-evil-5-and-more/ Release date: 2022 www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556 Release date: 2010 Reputable is probably Gamers Nexus though. Steve is a tech Jesus we never asked for but deserve. Imagine getting excited for a modder offering the 4GB patch for modding literally no one but me actually uses it. Let alone the unquenchable bounty that is x64 conversions. It comes across to me that YouTube is this oppressive force that makes people just pump endless mcdonnalds happy meals instead of Masterpiece after Masterpiece. Pump and dump and move on. *From dark gutter* Hey kid, you wanna use my machine learning 4x upscale? DSOGaming: Say no more, its a Masterpiece. Not a single texture has been left out in the cold from the single days work ethic. My favorite part was how it was honoring how close he stuck with the original game render style, while I was literally going on Amazon to download the higher quality album original in the bar music area. May the most mediocre trash show up in my Google feed. Its an arms race of simply doing something first, who actually cares about reporting on real world quality. Especially when its on the house marketing to use this free junk humans pile up all over the internet. All so future superhumans can marvel at the tolerance levels we have for lazy human proliferating technologies. This guy cracked the YouTube Matrix like hes freakin Neo. Whats interesting is they fixed his monetization after he was staging a class action lawsuit invasion. So many even professional channels on the platform are playing with the numbers. And even YouTube is playing games. With advancements in human evolution using lab upgrade technology to sculpt new cultures that value quality and honest hard work, we can finally escape this star system and thrive in others. After this project im going to hit up Outcast next to complete the Academy package. So if you are into hardcore retro substances, get your veins ready.
  3. Yet you are here on Linus Tech Tips forums which doesnt. I love irony. Word is if you spend 1000$ at LTTstore.com canadian you get to say anything you want. For a quarter million you even get to have dinner with Linus himself For 1 billion you get to eat a lavish meal with his wife. Jensen has unique exotic tastes. Ross is openly admitted to being autistic. His prefrontal cortex folds are most impressive. Automatically im really interested in what he has to say. Especially when he isnt improvising with RTX 3090 hardware on the next generation die IRT.
  4. My bros, give it literally 5 years according to the Stable Diffusion CEO. I cant wait until compilers are entirely replaced with a library of listed hardware perfectly optimized machine code and the only people left employed in this space are at John Carmacks level. Talk about disruptive technology. #CloneLinus
  5. The game is from 2006 so there is some probability its using 2 threads since the Pentium 4 and Athlon 64X2 existed but its more likely without personally owning the game to test it that its using just one. There are several ways to fix stuttering. DXVK wrapper especially with the multithreaded shader compilation fix. DG Voodoo. IF these are supported. OpenGL games generally are not. Though ive found exceptions and I also have found multi wrapper workarounds to daisy chain a result which in very rare cases can be counter intuitively faster, if for no other reason they get around bugs despite added overhead. I should also mention that modern APIs even when using hardware abstraction can skip steps required by the older API which compensates for the added overhead of handing off draw calls. Process lasso to force windows thread scheduler to use core 0, 2 for the game (disabling logging) if it uses multithreading, or core 0 if it does not. At least for that specific CPU which has logical cores. Timer resolution rarely helps but is noteable. The biggest difference is often the thread scheduler because the game will bounce core to core which each time it does induces the L3 cache to dump in whats called context switching. They did this to spread heat load and usage across multicore processors but it incurrs a performance penalty which is exaggerated when the game logic is needlessly, especially the main thread is being computed on the logical processor as it will on and off, which can be seen in the process lasso UI which is the easiest way to see how the game is programmed. If you want more in depth information DM me and I can walk you through when I have time. And the game is old enough that it might be hiding a intel compiler dark secret, which you can spoof the CPUID with a patch a computer scientist named agner created to allow SSE3 to run on AMD machines. Intels compiler would literally skip using the instruction in favor of a slower path, covertly. Im the guy that pressured Blizzard Entertainment to patch StarCraft II. The performance difference on even modern AMD CPUs was literally 30%. Intel Antitrust Rulings | AMD It is unknown how many games are effected. A readily demonstrable example is Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter Reborn and its offspring release that superseded it. The performance difference is absolutely massive. In some cases however its very subtle. When this practice began was probably around that time since AMD was obliterating intel. I would give it a try though because it might suprise you with a non stuttering experience. I think a former developer of StarCraft II told me about it on their forum by the name KnowBody. He recommended using a VM which in part defeated the purpose since it ate resources, but it led me to finding agners solution which is far superior. He replied to my optimization thread which was mostly about the thread scheduler since the game at very high framerates you can definitely take advantage of that knowledge. Its also entirely possible that you could have a corrupt driver, though in my experience with that my RTX 4090 was stuttering in every game and even on youtube videos. Fresh install fixed it. 5800X3D.
  6. Modders almost never do anything interesting with extra memory because they are universally pretty lazy. You also dont need x64 to pull off pretty amazing things if you actually care as that one off unicorn. Photo is of incomplete project im working on. Link is if you are into Star Wars and want to see the most balls to the wall x86 id tech 3 game in the world. Unfortunately the amount of work I put into this stuff I cant just push it out for free, although its super cheap if you wanted to check it out. I will have to reupload a better video in the future since the depth buffer operates 1 frame behind and thanks to Nvidias driver programming when you use DLDSR it locks me at 30fps which obviously makes the delayed geometry shader effect worse. The point is the texture mod works on all level compiles and isnt a scam. For more photos I have a moddb presence under Remastered Retro PC. Which should be Remastered Retro Games but it has a limit thats somewhat oppressive there so I couldnt use my desired full name. On the subject of DLDSR and framerate the driver has some bizarre behavior that doesnt occur when plugged into a G Sync 1080 monitor. Only every TV ive used which is super strange because it almost implies they want you to buy their G Sync module partnership product or get slammed with being stuck at 30hz. And you cant change it in advanced graphics settings in windows. However, in at least one case there is a way around it. For example Prey 2006 runs at 30hz until you switch to the mod. Then suddenly the Nvidia driver lets you go into the 60hz club as something about it seduces the bouncers. They have no incentive to change this and they are no stranger to calling freesync G Sync on at least the ROG notebook I had despite not having a G Sync module. Its kind of a trade secret thats very open if we bother looking. I know because I modded the crap out of the notebook and even its firmware. So if they did change that in drivers id appreciate it, but its definitely not going to happen. Its probably there looking at the evidence, as a market feature. Now going back to Prey 2006 with a over 50GB texture file, im pushing shader model 2.0 to really unheard of levels. I have to literally optimize the render in specific cases to a RTX 4090 or suffer pauses as it compiles enormous assets presumably into the shaders with a 60hz frametime. So ill be forced to make two versions scaling from the fastest to more typical hardware, something like a GTX 1070. Upgraded from RTX 3080 12GB so its definitely mostly the GPU responsible as the huge 4nm cache on Lovelace allows significant performance increases. Though I believe its actually both the CPUs rate of feeding information as a factor of latency, and the GPUs ability to process that stacking together. DXT1 diffuse, DXT1 specular (4bit greyscale DDS is deprecated so can no longer use), DXT3 sharp transition alphas, DXT5 gradual transition alphas, RXGB DXT5 for normal maps, RXGB/DXT1/DXT5 for heightmaps which the way id tech 4 uses them and how each asset behaves determines what is used. Once you start hitting incredible resolutions more lossy compression is actually desirable just in the way it scales. Tried to use TGA RLE to save memory in specific cases but id need access to the source code and programming skills to allow the engine to use DDS and TGA alongside eachother which is impossible in its hardcoded out of the box state even playing with the config. Being efficient with memory matters confined to x86. Its the hardest mod ive ever created, and to be entirely honest with you the "competition" is super lazy. The quality difference once I drop demos for these mods in the future is going to be obvious. WIll care about marketing when I have more than 1 or 2 products. So if you want to see whats possible join me for this time machine adventure into the past. If I got gud with 3D Studio Max I would also consider bumping geometry on character models, the combination of which if we ignore some of the janky stencil shadows would start to make it easily confused for a modern game in the case of id tech 4. Not so much id tech 3 though. Plan is to do all the classics I can under id tech 3/4 and that texmod supports to the limit of the engines potential, and to a level of quality that makes people shocked its a lone individual with no life, and blatant autism, lacking a multimillion dollar studio.
  7. All artforms are objectively equal. Marry had a little lamb, mumble rap, its all excellent work that will survive centuries into the obsession of man.
  8. "Just make sure you don't start complaining and throwing mud at someone..." I was actually sharing a workaround and inviting more people to run it and see if we could find some patterns. Im only ever, disagreeable, when I meet people who use a lot of words like "feel" and clearly like playing games where they post about something they feign interest in, but cant be bothered to actually watch the video, nor present it accurately in said commentary. "It's especially silly if it turns out newer versions have fixed the issues." Are you trying to shame me for curiosity? -- especially as it persists even in a competitive arena?
  9. "but it's hours upon hours of research to actually validate what is being said in the video is true." "Its the disorder that gets you into Stanford." -Robert Sapolsky in his free YouTube lecture on OCD Some people produce lower amounts of serotonin, and its not due to some parasitism like candida overgrowth of the gut so well entrenched its colonizing the blood as a systemic invasion. Its actually more common than people realize, particularly given antibiotics are fairly agnostic as regularly prescribed to the fungal kingdom, where probiotic strains that curb overgrowth are wiped out. Lower serotonin by homeostasis you could say is a phenotype some people express that can make them unmatched in terms of passion, as enabled by obsessive compulsion, or perfectionism. Then you have full blown autists which basically share this overlap of trending toward more depth rather breadth of knowledge oriented personalities. I have another mutation id likely find in going to a geneticist for confirmation, and this basically gears about 10% of the population who essentially had strong Darwinian pressure to exist, basis the superorganism called humanity needing protection in the late hours, and who better than the opposite of a psychopath whos circadian rhythm operates on unpredictable non 24 hour latencies swimming in cortisol which if that's an odd thing to be reading here prosociality and antisocial tendencies are linked to cortisol levels. Of course biological computation is only mysterious if you dont really have the sort of personality to understand how senescent neurons are sort of like what happened to a poor i5, entangled with the fact there are a multitude of venues to how efficient your traces are specifically intracellularly and extracellular wise. The latter you might recognize as white matter. I guess im trying to get across its not so bad a double edged sword. People like me cant hold a normal 9am-5pm sort of job without a runaway build up of luciferase, but if you nurture that sort of evolutionary specialization, it has some underappreciated advantages. Maybe think of it like a 224 cam, even if that's a little too old school to be impressive. "But like I said earlier, from the quick glans I took at the video it feels like a hit piece more than some investigative journalism." You didn't even watch the video completely but you are posting about it? You know I knew at least one person with pretty severe autism. It was extremely refreshing when going into what would ordinarily be an argument, but their integrity by having essentially no instinct to lie, betrayed him in such a way that made me respect him a lot more than the typical person I engage in conversation with, but they aren't really interested in the end result. Now they can be relatively artistic and even skilled with pretending otherwise, but sometimes its less convincing. My obsessive personality with or without help from the community, will eventually test post 2010 software in far more detail because that's what I do. Detective things. I might not be able to yet hand tune a compiler, but im fairly certain its learnable if the public domain harbors the means. If that's a rare sort of person as experience tells me, then I guess ill be reporting my findings accordingly as one of the first, and it probably wont be here, the niche that plays the game, thus getting early access to technic, we viewership appreciate exists. I realize how pointless such a thing tends be, and I suppose that's ok. Not everyone cares. At the end of the day I do in fact respect and can identify with some aspects of Linus' personality I see in myself. Its pretty obvious you have to have a different level of drive to build up something like this, even if its a different list of ingredients. If it turns out running intels compiler in non AVX applications in a modern setting is a reoccurring occasional pattern of processing power uptick without corruption or other bizarreness, that would be interesting news no matter how you try excuse it.
  10. "Try doing that with a program that uses AVX512 and it will crash." Did you not watch the video attentively? You "can still give intel a run for their money" using AVX 2. "SSE2 was the latest and greatest you could use up until 2004, not the 80's." Which is why for at minimum, a 2010 release, several ive found now, its odd we cant even get basic at that point super well entrenched instruction sets because: plausible deniability. "Please note that I haven't actually watched the entire video from Level1Techs so I might be completely misunderstanding it." I recommend it before etching a history on this grand repository of the great Linus Land. Its only 20 minutes bro, and brimming with fascinating tidbits. But to entertain your point, exactly how that's done for the timebeing is borderline a secret handshake of superusers, which im essentially a kicking fetus representation. Not a mountain top divinity with all the answers like our great Leader here. Its half annoying, and partially very cool that despite no one in the tech world really covering this curious little blip, that ill eventually likely be the forefront in search of modern examples. Its not just one group thats seen it, and with heavy launch time is possibly a bit unfair to expect them to partition time under their holiday crunch.
  11. I actually received a tip in response to my SC2 optimization guide weeks before that YouTube video existed. I ended up figuring out how to make it actually work. Agner is awesome for providing us the patch, but im not familiar with visual studios, as im not a programmer, and so I basically had to figure it out myself. Not that it matters, the persons name was: Knowbody "Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books, but lives in our very blood?" ~Carl Jung Seems like he definitely knew something from deep within. Though he might just mean from within the organization itself, or a former employee of it who had known this stuff for years but just didn't reach out until he saw my thread. Its hard to say, but I appreciate it.
  12. Go forth my detectives. I unleash you in pursuit of the scientific truth. Realistically it looks like im going to have to introduce a CPU bottleneck with downclocking, and patch it back to ryzen returning 1, and repatch the intel path again. Im only really pointing out the first instances I found where its super in your face, and undeniable there is some funny business in software. How it got there, motive, all that's a conversation in itself. But with the tools I supplied, lets figure things out. Level1Techs throws us into the deep end by saying, you can just patch it, without instructions. I cared enough to make those available so my researchers can get out there and start uncovering some fossils, and perhaps, not so ancient oopsies. The latter being the controversy.
