We’ve got ray traced ASCI before GTA 6

I also had it start on boot but I never could minimize it to be non-intrusive and from what I’ve researched it’s apparently very known issue in GNOME.

I don’t have this issue with LACT.

I’m sorry but I don’t believe you. Maybe you just misunderstand what I’ve meant.

If you minimize it and press Super key, is it shown or it’s completely gone?

Thanks a lot. I will look into this.

Reason why I use chmod is because I cant for the life of me figure out why I can’t just use sudo. Even when I set environment variable for the upp.py it refuses to run it. Even when I directly want to run it via sudo it refuses, I can only run it without sudo for whatever reason… but to overwrite pp_table I need sudo privileges and I’ve been only able to get around with chmod.

Also I’ve tried to make a script that I will just run and will execute the commands… but I get immediately hard lock and black screen and I need to do hard reset. Same when I try to copy and overwrite the pp_table with sudo priviledges with a pre-modified pp_table.

So I’m kinda hesitant to now run the commands on runtime, it’s possible it will hardlock during boot. I will give it more though tommorrow.

edit:

I just found out how to write the pp_table into VBIOS so I will try flashing modified VBIOS on the card and hope it will work. I’ll leave that for tomorrow though.

It will never be not funny :)

Yes but you misunderstand the issue here. It’s not about whether LACT or CoreCTRL is better. They only allow you to work within the default limits. For example max power limit is 312W on my card and I can only go up to 312W in those applications. By editing pp_table I can increase it to whatever I want. What I’m doing by editing pp_table is going beyond those limits and whether I use one application or another it does not matter. Also I switched from CoreCtrl to LACT because CoreCtrl on GNOME can’t be minimized into tray so it was just annoying.

Also I can edit FCLK, SOCclck, TDC limits, etc… those are things that are not available to be edited in CoreCTRL or LACT or even on Windows in MSI Afterburner or AMD Adrenaline Software.

Basically, I can edit almost all of this to tune my OC as I wish:

(sorry, IDK whats up with Lemmys formatting, everything is supposed to be in separate line).

Thanks for directions :) I’ll check that out

I’ve never used fractional scaling but it’s obvious you don’t understand that it’s not about resolution but about screen size+resolution. On small displays with big resulutions like modern laptops a fractional scaling is absolutely essential unless you want to squint your eyes even with 20/20 vision.

I’m still waiting for ThanosLinux that’s based on Ubuntu and only uses Snaps.

It would. At least we’ve go Photopea which can cover most needs. Probably still not a viable alternative for professionals… depending on what you need to do.

Not yet but I’d at least narrow it down to Arch and Fedora. I don’t think either of those is a bad choice.

Yes, caching was disabled. Done again in reverse order, no time for the USB stick to cool down as I’ve popped it right into another device when it finished on the one before. And yes, the same USB stick I’ve tested with before.

• Zen3 Fedora41 PC - 5min 25s
• Zen4 Fedora41 Laptop - 3min 31s
• Zen1 Windows PC - 2min 19s

single 4.4GB video file

• Zen1 based Windows PC - 2min 10s (could unmount right after progress finished)
• Zen4 based Fedora41 laptop - 3min 1s (progress finished within 1min but then took 2min to unmount)
• Zen3 based Fedora41 PC - 5min 16s (progress finished within 20s but took almost 5min to unmount)

No it did not get warm at all because it was barely doing anything. But so that I’m fair I’ve borrowed different USB 3.2 Gen1 drive and tested also with my Fedora Laptop.

• Zen1 based Windows PC - 2min 10s (could unmount right after progress finished)
• Zen4 based Fedora41 laptop - 3min 1s (progress finished within 1min but then took 2min to unmount)
• Zen3 based Fedora41 PC - 5min 16s (progress finished within 20s but took almost 5min to unmount)

it just finished, 4h for 40GB (6 files)

I’m copying 6 video files that are 40GB total and it’s been over 3h now and still not finished so it’s not just a lot of small files. It’s just slow as hell in general. Yes, the USB is 3.0 connected to 3.0 port verified it’s actually running at 3.0 bus. No, it’s not fault of the USB drive as this takes around 30min from USB 2.0 on Windows 10. Yes, I’ve tried Fat32, exFAT and NTFS… I couldn’t care less about ext4 for this particular use case so it’s not relevant and I haven’t tried it yet because I’m still stuck copying. Not sure what rsync does different, I just use standard CTRL+C/CTRL+V copy/paste that I expect to work flawlessly in 2025. No idea why I would want to use command line for copying files to USB drive. This seems like an ongoing problem for over 10 years from what I’ve been looking at trying to find solution, I found none that worked yet, just the same comments I’m getting here mostly.

Still going…

Now down to 9MB/s and still going down

EDIT: 12 min later…

I’m aware of these programs but they are just a way around the problem and not a solution. Besides they have their own limitations… I can’t use KDE Connect because it does not work on my network because I run 3 routers in one network and would have to be connected to the same router which is not possible… Because of the reason why I need to run 3 routers

For sanity check I’ve tried.

Bus 004 Device 004 and it’s USB 3.0 as it should be.

Also I’ve disabled caching and I’m now copying 6 video files at only just 15MB/s (and it’s slowing down, byt the time I went to make screenshot for this post it dropped again). And it’s quite a bit slower than on Windows still.
