Description of issue: Warranty about to run out

I have a 2021 ford ranger Wildtrak with 30000km and the warranty is about to run out. Is there anything worth getting ford to glaze over?

Reason for low ks is because of being away for work 2 weeks out of 4. It probably gets a good one hour long drive each time I'm home. i use fuel doctor every time I fill up.it has a two inch lift and a snorkel/airbox. Apart from that all standard. It gets serviced once a year not through ford but through a reputable mechanic that does factory approved servicing.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

I am trying to get a steam game to run on a specific GPU and most of my games let me do it in windows graphics options. But some games launch ID is a steam URL. I remember reading a launch code option that sets the specific GPU to launch on directly from steam but I cant find it again after multiple google searches.

For context my PC has a 7900XTX and a 5080 and im trying to get the 5080 to render the game and use the 7900xtx for frame gen (lossless scale). The display is plugged into the 7900XTX. This isnt an issue for every game, maybe 3 or 4 games I own are giving me this issue.

I have tried every .exe file in the game folder

I remember there being a code you could use in the luanch options

Please note, the 7900XTX isnt used ONLY for lossless scaling. I do use other applictions that easily use more than 16GB VRAM.

Now I’m not here to shame anybody because believe me I am also not the smallest. But just had a flight on a Dash 8 sitting next to a gentlemen that was quite large and occupied half my seat (aisle).

There was obviously some serious signs of discomfort from both of us before the cabin door was closed and the flight attendants just turn a blind eye to me sitting half out on the aisle, even bumping me when the inflight snacks where being handed out and not offer another seat which there was plenty to choose from.

Yes I could have asked to move but how do I go about it without causing a scene or any embarrassment or discomfort for any other passengers?

Once again I am not shaming this gentleman. I just want to know how to handle it without too much issue.

Sorry about the over exposed screen shots i have no idea why it did that

PC Specs: 9950X3D2, 7900XTX, (5080), 64GB ram (2 sticks), 1200W PSU, ASUS ROG X870E Hero PCIE LANES ARE BIFURICATED FOR DUEL GPU X8 speeds and my resolution is 4K 144hz.

I upgraded my CPU from 7800X3D to 9950X3D2, updatded BIOS and chipset, did a fresh install of windows 11 and got Adrenline drivers (26.6.2) and something weird is going on. The above screen shot is just one example of BF6 (left) and MSFS 2024 (right). What is strange is the power, core clock and utilisation in BF6.

Another strange thing is I can do 3D mark Steel nomad and Timespy Extreme and both have no issue with getting respectable and normal scores with the correct GPU/CPU usages. But when I do a stress test in adrenlin it almost instantly crashes the program, i open it again and it tells me it failed (duh).

I am at my wits end on this, its not the end of the world becuase I can use the 5080 to render the game and it just works normally but this is bothering me.... It wasnt an issue until i performed the CPU upgrade and windows and bios etc.

Got a great deal on a 5080 and I am going replace my 5060ti and use it as my render gpu. I’ll keep the 7900xtx for lossless and other tasks. I’m just questioning my PSU is 1000w. I haven’t had a close look at it to see if it even has enough pcie plugs. I am happy to upgrade my psu if needed. Just looking for further opinions
