That's exectly the reason for my post.

Game developers should never use upscaling, develop everything at native 4K with 4K ultra textures, and for playing at lower resolutions the game can remove pixels for lower resolution. Similiar to how 4K recorded video looks better at 1080p than 1080p recorded video.

For framerate and GPU performance, we are now in the 4K capable GPU market and only getting better every 2 years. In 2026/2027 people will NOT require the top GPU for native 4K 120fps which means 4K GPUs are only going to get cheaper and cheaper, not for price but can start pairing a lower GPU with a 4K screen.

Upscaling is not available on older games, some of those are more popular in terms of favourites than brand new releases, and upscaling is inconsistent across games that have it.

The smoothest performance across a random 20 to 30 games will always be to only play at native resolution with no frame generation technology.

Am I alone in being completely in being against all frame generation due it it being simulated gameplay? I max out ever graphics setting but disable DLSS/FSR and play on native with a lower FPS.

On the contrary, I was going to ask you guys here, am I wrong to believe that there is zero interest in GTA 6? Or at the very least, people don't care about a game that won't be released for a year and a half?!?

Oh it's availqble through Izzy, not native F-Droid, thank you.

Since FreeTube is not available for Android, how do you use it on phone?

I don't use web browser on phone for content, although I use Free Browser for being pure open source withoit deoendancies, but I only use computer for websites.

I'm trying to figure out which app to you.

Someone else mentioned it. I have never played Bioshock, I think I've seen it used as a benchmark. I look for military style games and I wasn't sure if I should give Bioshock a try.

Thank you providing reasons for why it's your favourite game.

I bought the New Order/Old Blood combo on GOG.

Prey looks really nice. Don't you primarily play through the game with a sword, having a lot of required stealth kills?

Is Turbo Overkill an arena game in a single environment, as opposed to progressing through multiple levels, say, in like a military campaign?

I have New Order. I tried Doom reboot and lost interest in playing because of the fictional space creatures. You're the 3rd to mention Titanfall 2. I have it but played maybe an hour so I don't know it very well.

I don't like random creatures or space aliens, fantasy, Martians, I don't like those games. I prefer real world military style. What makes Half Life so good?

From '97? It reminds me of Doom.

I see people rave about it. I tried Half Life 2 for an hour and quit because I lost all interest since there wasn't much happening.

I have it, I have not played it through, only played half an hour to an hour, but I will trust you and play it through soon to give it a proper try.

How did become devoted to fanaticism that opinion and belief is superior to information and can not allow any challenge to your doctrine?

Which phone on the market has the best hardware sexurity?

Eat at Maple Grill and hav schnitzel challah or large schnitzel.

The 50 series could have GDDR7, AMD will not. For your 4K scrreen buy the most expensive 5000 model GPU that you can afford.

All of the normies should only be using Signal or a variant of Signal. All of the privacy conscious people should be on SimpleX.

I would describe it as software that is not 100% open source, and/or connects to services that run is not purely open source software connecting through standard protcols. It can't have a proprietary connection.

Basically, if both the software and the service do not run reprodible builds of the software, it is an anti-feature. For example, Proton, Telegram and NewPipe are open source apps, but the source code for their servers is not published so it's a proprietary connection or servers run proprietary software, so those apps have anti-features.

It's too bad that it's not available without anti-features in F-Droid. I disable all anti-features in Settings so intially I thought OrganicMaps is not in F-Droid until I checked the website.

Every X670E Motherboard Tested https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=ibNjPksgaOA

I like ASRock. There's a lot of fans of their ASRock Taichi boards being on the level of Gigabyte Master boards.

I thought Steel Legend was on the lower end, but if there's a X670E version of Steel Legend, I would have full faith and confidence in that one.

I would suggest a X670E Aorus Master if you have the cash, otherwise X670 Aorus Elite AX. I can't justify the price of MPG X670E Carbon.

The 5090 could be released in 6 months, forget about the 40 series.

Add at least an NVMe for installing Windows and software programs. Do not use mechanical hard drive for Windows.

The B series board might not be good enough for the Ryzen 10,000 series, but 7800x3D is good, but playing at 1440p it's going to use more GPU than CPU, but 7800x3D is still exellent.

I do not have data service to be able to run a hotspot.

Why would something choose Telegram as a private alternative over Whatsapp? Can you message someone on Telegram who is not a contact? How do you you get around Felegram saving info and messages on their servers? XMPP would be a better choice with OMEMO.

I am considering changing from GrapheneOS to CalyxOS. I have never tried CalyxOS, I've used GrapheneOS on 3 phones.

I don't install any apps that are not from F-Droid.

Blind fans don't realize this, but it is possible to implement so much security in software that people can't use it due to too many repeated roadvlocks in trying to use everyday. Is it possible to implement too much privacy?

But safe supply saves lives, that's why all hard drugs must be made legal for public consumption to help save everybody's life!. Or you can quit being gullible.

I will add on top of all the other recommendations, in F-Droid settings, turn off all anti-features. If after doing that, an app you are looking for is not available, check what anti-feature it has for why it's not listed.

I find it disturbing to rulsive to ses people's obsession fot comfort. Yes, all human life must be perserved. Nobody has a right to demand comfort. Nobody has a right to live without fear. Each person must control their own emotions.

Why do you dmand ttal submission and conformity without questioning for people that you will never encounter?

I suggest RiseupVPN.

I face value from your description, I find it difficult to say if a program screwed up your system or if one program is conflicting wifh syatem swttings.

Apart from making sure all drivers and software is updated, uninstalling one program at a time to test for conflict, I would be inclined to erase drive and reinstall OS.

Due to playing game seems to make it run fine makes me think it's not a hardware failure, or games don't push the hardware in way to trigger what is beginning to fail.
