After trying a sea of Scarpa shoes at the store, i found the instincts which i then bought the LV version of online (They didn’t stock it in store).
For my everyday shoes i wear a 42. Sometimes i fit snugly in a 41.

I decided to buy the instincts in s 41. In the store they really squeezed my big toe, and felt very hard and tight, but i read that they would stretch, and i would get used to it and the pain would go away.
I couldn’t even get my foot on the first hold. It was just painful. They feel way too small.

So i went back to the store and bought another pair of shoes. This time the Origin VS LV’s.
Exact same size. 41. They we’re a little painful initially after climbing a but, but even after a single session i can confidently say that i feel they will be perfectly comfortable in just a few more sessions, and there will be no pain at all even after many climbs without taking them off.
For reference, i believe i have what you guys call egyptian feet. Which looking at the outside of the shoes, appears it should favour the instincts in this regard. But with the Origins i feel more even pressure on my toes, with a little uptick on the outside of my feet, snd a slightly larger uptick on my big toe, but nothing too serious. If the shoes stretch a little like people say, it should go away soon.

This gets me to my actual question. In the future i would want to move to a more serious shoe.
Are the instincts this shoe? If the origins are comfy, will k be able to wear this size 41 in the future. Right now it feels like i need to go a full size up on it. This simply feels like a lot, and i am worried it will just stretch and be too big and i will have an equally useless shoe.

Is it time to give up on instincts? They fit my heel so well and i LOVE the way they look, but the pressure on my big toe is enormous. (why the hell can’t we get multiple colour options for the same shoe btw, so annoying. Rant over)

Do i need to get stronger.
Has/do anyone else owned or own the same two pairs. What is the sizing like for you?

I really wanna be able to wear these shoes. Desperately looking for advice!
Thanks in advance.

Got a weird one for ya.
I recently bought a 5070ti, to replace my old 2070S.
I dropped it in. Had some trouble booting but eventually it did, and i reinstalled the drivers. I thought, that’s that. Card was running great. No issues in games, great performance.
Now after troubleshooting for a while, it appears that the only way i can get the pc to show video, is to not have my DP cable connected when i boot up the PC, but to only connect it afterwards. Then it will show video.
It seems as if my monitor detects that the pc wants to do something. If i boot the pc with the DP inserted, the monitor (A samsung G9) will go into a kind of boot loop, attempting to show the signal it thinks it’s receiving from the DP, but no dice. It gods to sleep, then tries again after a few seconds.
The monitor seems to be good. No issues with other sources.
The cable also appears to not be at fault, i have tested multiple cables that are known to work, as well as the different combinations of input and output ports.
The motherboard is on a recent bios, so it should be compatible with this GPU. It is an X370 Taichi.
Any ideas before i go into the deep end with BIOS shit?

I just cannot get this game to look sharp. I feel like it’s forcing frame generation down my throat. I hate the look of frame gen and AI in general. I want it to look nice and clean like the menu pictures.
5120x1440 res, 100% resolution scale.
Any ideas?
EDIT: To clarify, this is with the car standing still. Bushes and the road look bad in the distance. Like i want to be able to turn up the Anisotropic Filtering and Scattering, but they’re already at the max.

Looking at a ton of content from about a year and a half ago, where the community had a lot of feedback about GTP’s generally being WAY to fast in comparison to the real cars. Way faster corner speeds, wrong hybrid deployment, sounds being artificial. From what i can see the devs responded about looking into it, but i can’t find anything further.
Now to be clear: the GTP’s don’t interest me much and from what i gather they are tons of fun to drive, so at the end of the day i really don’t mind.
I just find it very uncharacteristic of the otherwise excellent developers to make a car so far removed from reality, where in other series the most major differences appear to be a little bit of extra bounce, or an older tyre model acting up.

Did anything ever happen?
