Hi, I dunno what's happening, but I can't run this game at good FPS on boosteroid. I can run it very well on geforce now, but the datacenters are far away and I get 41-43ms ping, while on boosteroid I have 29ms ping (a lot better) on a 1gbps connection.

The CPU or the GPU of boosteroid are not maxed, not even singular cores, but I'm running the game at unstable 40 FPS, no matter how much I decrease the settings.

On the NVIDIA geforce now I can run at up to 120 FPS (with DLSS FG) at 4K or up to 170-180 fps at 1080p (DLSS FG) on the same game and same settings.

Dropping FSR from native (4K) to ultra performance (720p internal) does 0 to the fps. At first I thought it was my weak laptop struggling with the stream (iGPU running 85% usage), but even with this one with an RTX 4060 at 20% usage, I have the same performance.

The 7900 XT GPU from boosteroid doesn't ever go above 75% usage and the individual cores don't go above 70% usage, which is very weird.

Here's a screenshot of the performance: https://imgur.com/a/iKjYEJg

It's such a shame, since the quality of the stream and ping are a big upgrade vs geforce now for me, but the hardware performance is horrendeous. Any tips?

Thanks.

Besides one game breaking bug, spawning 50 burers too (not exaggerating, same bug), I've noticed that the area around Rostok in Stalker 2 has been breeding stalkers like rats, to the point where my 265k + 5090 struggles to hit 20 fps.

I have to literally commit loner genocide to have my FPS back, killing over 100 loners there. I've done this twice on my save already.

Also, fun fact, all of them use shotguns for some reason. They can use exos, or seva suits or regular gear, but always shotguns.

Why does this game have an issue with having areas with +80 NPCs stuck constantly?

Is there any mod or engine setting I can change to force the game to "cleanup" generic npcs when they hit a certain threshold? Otherwise they will keep pilling up over and over until the area is completely inaccessible.

It seems it does it in the background, maybe because of A-life.

Hello, as I keep seeing people defending OLEDs like the second coming of jesus, and hating IPS like a pandemic, I'm gonna show you what happens when you don't live in a cave and have some ambient light.

Picture 1: Samsung S90C 55' (turned off) vs MSI MAG 274UPDF E16M mini LED IPS with backlight at 230 / 255. (Doesn't look fully black IRL and has very slight IPS glow. Looks like IPS black IRL without local dimming)

Picture 2: Same, but local dimming maxed (backlight turned off, perfect black)

Picture 3: Ambient light of the room, blinds opened at around 40%.

As you can see, not only does QD-OLED look worse than IPS with local dimming not maxed out, but a lot worse than with local dimming engaged. This is not a "bright room" scenario, but the minimum I would call acceptable for working conditions during the day.

The more light I bring to the room, the worse it becomes.

W-OLED doesn't suffer from this issue quite as much, and it looks perfectly black, but QD-OLED looks a lot worse than mini-led IPS contrast wise.

W-OLED (without the tandem oleds in consideration) suffer from severe color desaturation in dimmer scenes. Reds look brown reddish instead of red, for example. But the blacks look trully inky black. Makes QD-OLED look like a first gen IPS in comparison.

This MSI monitor isn't perfect by any means, but I'm having a way better gaming experience than with the QD-OLED. No VRR flicker, blacks look acceptable (I don't run maxed local dimming, but the 230/255 shown in the first pic), less judder because slower response times and no more babysitting because of burn in.

I got the monitor for 385€ and the only thing I regret is the size. My question now is, why aren't TV manufacturers releasing more IPS mini leds? They can look great, not having the horrendous VA smearing, way better viewing angles than VA (but worse than OLED), and no VRR flicker at all!

Why do they keep forcing us VAs? Yes, slightly better contrast but worse at everything else!

I'm seriously planning on getting an Hisense 55U8Q in the future to replace my oled TV, which comes with way higher brightness, faster panel (165hz), no VRR flicker, better contrast and no burn in. But besides that model, there's not many choices, which is a shame. The only problem is the software of hisense TVs, but hopefully they got the bugs ironed out.
