CPU/GPU graphs (timelapse) of 20 mins in No Mans Sky w/ Ryzen 7 7700X & GTX-1080Ti Blake Patterson 2023-11-17 | Hardware:- Ryzen 7 7700X (8 core, 16 thread) CPU @ 4.5GHz (5.4GHz boost)- 32GB DDR5-6000 DRAM- EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 video card (11GB GDDR5X RAM)System monitor app is HWiNFO 64 running on a 7-inch display: hwinfo.comThe gaming PC I initially assembled in 2016 to play No Man's Sky beyond the abilities of the PS4 consisted of (after a few upgrades along the way) a Core i7 6700K (4 core, 8 thread) CPU @ 4GHz (4.4GHz boost), 32GB DDR4 DRAM, and the same EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 (which offers approximately the same performance as an RTX 3060 in No Man's Sky). As No Man's Sky increased in visual complexity across the 34 major updates (at the time of this video) since launch, the system became CPU limited, with the CPU unable to keep the GPU fed. This test shows the performance of the hardware after a recent motherboard / CPU / RAM upgrade to the specs above.The game is being played at 2560x1440 resolution with all settings to Ultra (using TAA anti-aliasing), achieving a range of 70-90fps typical, with a jump to the the display's max of 144fps when in space.Associated blog post: nmsspot.com/2023/01/20/upgrading-the-gaming-pc

Warm-up screen glitches on Samsung C32HG70 LCD display (8x speed) Blake Patterson 2022-07-05 | If the screen has been used in the past day, these horizontal lines appear only at the bottom when it wakes up, and are gone in a few seconds. I was out of town for a week and had the display powered off. After completely garbled display for several minutes, it started to clear up -- this is the end portion of that, (~5 minutes, sped up 8x). What would be causing this? Capacitor failure? The display was purchased in 2017.
