I recently noticed some weird behaviour when setting BIOS voltage values:
I understand that what you set isn't necessarily 1:1 what you actually get, but a 0.01V difference becoming a 0.04V difference seems a bit odd to me.
Is this normal behaviour or should I be worried?
I have yet to see anyone yap about this, but depending on your hardware, you will very much be impacted by it:
Certain cosmetics (especially animated boards) can just straight up kill your FPS - and also your opponent's FPS if they look at your board. And you cannot improve it, because there is no way to disable those things.
Even a pretty good GPU runs into those issues. E.g. I framecap LoL/TFT far below what I can do and the GPU is usually barely loaded when playing the game. But for some reason, whenever I enter certain animated boards, my GPU goes crazy - 100% load, fans go crazy, and sometimes it can't even hit the FPS cap anymore. And this is medium settings on a 9070XT with a framecap around monitor refresh rate.
Now, imagine if you have a worse GPU with subpar cooling - then this might cause massive fps drops. While that is probably not the end of the world for a game like TFT and apparently not big enough to have many posts about it, there is no reason for TFT to behave like Furmark (a GPU stresstest). And this is also not exactly safe for hardware. Someone with an old or bad system might just straight up get a thermal shutdown after a while if they decide to pick (or even just fight against) a certain cosmetic.
So I really feel like this should be addressed before it gets even worse with more and more cosmetics and effects getting added. You don't want a new set release and then suddenly player pcs crash en masse because they went a step too far with some new cosmetic. Start optimising performance of cosmetics.
If anyone has had related issues, feel free to share those in the comments, so we can get an idea of how relevant this whole thing already is.
Errors when trying to do Windows shutdown.
Recently, I've had issues when shutting down my PC:
Sometimes when I do a normal shutdown the system will crash and restart instead, giving me the above combination of Errors.
I think this only happens when doing Windows' "soft shutdown". Haven't seen this yet when doing a proper shutdown (but not 100% sure).
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any known solution?
