My laptop's GPU is overheating in a matter of seconds under AotS. Is something wrong?
No other game I've played has caused this before.
allquixotic
allquixotic
@bwDraco unsurprising; games that fully utilize the GPU are relatively rare, and most laptops aren't designed to handle 100% GPU load for extended periods
bwDraco
bwDraco
I'm also seeing power throttling, which usually only happens under certain gaming workloads involving extremely high polycounts.
I've never seen this happen under DOOM (in Vulkan mode), either.
It can overheat, but only after several minutes.
Ambient temperature is playing a role here, but to see the GPU declock to well below normal clock speeds is a sign of trouble...
(an example workload with "extremely high polycounts" would be FurMark, though this is just a torture test program)
Bob
Bob
Eh. AotS is a GPU benchmark disguised as a game.

bwDraco
bwDraco
Well, a cutting-edge 64-bit heavily-multithreaded DX12 RTS engine designed to handle thousands of units at once is a rather unusual workload...
Modern GPUs are designed for a certain mix of polygon drawing, texture mapping, etc. They're not designed with the expectation that all of the resources in the chip will be utilized all at once, because this never happens with any real-world game.
This is why FurMark has a reputation for destroying graphics cards.
Apparently, AotS is closer to a GPU power virus than most other games.
With about 200-300 units, my laptop's i7 is loafing while the GPU is greatly overloaded.

The thing that kills it the fastes is when you use it and keep it plugged in into a power source even tough it is fully charged. — RamonRobben 6 hours ago

@djsmiley2k tis better not to charge li-ion battery to full, but it is completely within specs to charge it full and leave it that way.
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
so why does the batter firmware not just charge to 95% and never higher?
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
So ifn' say you have a laptop that will stop charging at 80or90% you can preserve it "better" but more effect is the orignal quality of the battery.
To think of it easy, overcharging any rolled electrolyte cell , including capacitors over voltage, causes them to "gas" the "spec" is below that, but it is still kinder to treat the battery better than that. It is generally a waste of time.
It does not do a lot of extra saving of the battery , to First charge it fully , then to lower it again just to treat it nicer.
When it comes to the High end, it is reaching the high end that can do the most "wear" of the battery. once there and the charge properly stops, its a done deal.
If you want to do "storage" just to keep the battery around, but not using it, charge it to ~50% and store it out of the laptops heat.
Speaking of heat, that is not nice to the battery at all, but try and explain it to all modern mobile equiptment, cause heck half these phones think the battery IS the heat sink :-)
So a laptop that (user selectably) charges to lower voltages , like say 4.1 or 4.0 or whatever percentage they want to label that, it stays far away from the break-down state of the battery. This is good. specially when the user can have thier cake and eat it too. if they are about to need mobile power, there is nothing wrong with fully charging it.

@JourneymanGeek Eh. It's not something most people will notice/need, but it actually does make a difference. On most mice.
It's the same reason some people prefer interrupt-driven PS/2 mice.
@Burgi I don't really want to start an argument in the comments, but... seriously? The practical gain is lower latency.
That is the practical gain.
Burgi
Burgi
i still don't understand why you want to
Bob
Bob
11:48
@Burgi Because, perhaps, some people who may or may not be playing twitch games would like to minimise unnecessary imput latency.
Or maybe someone just feels like it.
It's like asking what the practical gain of a 75 Hz display over a 60 Hz display is.
Burgi
Burgi
i'll think about it but seems silly to me
Bob
Bob
@Burgi Just because you personally might not care or notice a difference does not mean no one does.

As an owner of a gaming mouse, it does make a difference. It can reduce what feels like "jumpiness" between positions and make for a smoother experience, especially when you are trying to lead a moving enemy
Burgi

i'm dying of hangoveritis :(
Bob
Bob
@Mokubai Yea... I did say it varies by person - mine can toggle 125/500/1000. I can't specifically say it's smoother, but it actually moves faster on the same DPI setting - almost as if 125 drops some readings...
Mokubai
Mokubai
You might not be able to see every mouse movement as the framerate is much lower, but oversampling of this type can reduce error or jitter in positional sampling making the movement smoother
Bob
Bob
But, yea, I don't have any hard evidence for perceived smoothness (which may or may not differ from absolute smoothness)
Mokubai
Mokubai
Likewise, I can't prove it, but the theory is that sampling more often reduces the jumps beteen mouse positions. While you might have the same error per sample, you are averaging out the error by using more samples, hence slightly smoother.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Bob ah. So its plausible its psycosomatic ;p
Mokubai
Mokubai
12:01
Depends a lot on the error in the sensor used
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I tend to assume the people who designed my hardware are usually smart enough to get the most out of it ;p
Mokubai
Mokubai
But yeah, above a certain completely indefinable point it is probably the same as changing to optical cables with gold plated connector locks.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I'm making a couple of assumptions - that network latency, and brain-hand-system latency >>> mouse latency
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Uh. That's the other one. Latency. 8ms to 1ms is quite significant, especially when your network latency is 1ms (LAN).
Mokubai
Mokubai
the hand to eye latency in what you see on screen is entirely local, but having a smoother local viewport (better mouse) can mean that you are better at aligning a shot
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
12:06
assuming that helps latency
Bob
Bob
It's not something you'll notice on its own; it's far below human perception.
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I suppose though I don't competitively game ;p
Bob
Bob
But given two opponents with identical human reaction times, identical computers, etc... it can come down to a tiny difference.
@Mokubai It's more ... say... network latency is the same, processing is the same, screen is the same, let's assume human (eye, brain, nerves) is the same or very nearly so... the time it takes to register a mouse move/click could have an impact. highly, highly unlikely... but it's there.
Mokubai
Mokubai
Likewise I I think it probably does make a difference, a small one, but it is there.
Bob
Bob
I'm never gonna blame the mouse for being too slow and causing me to lose (the <0.1% of the time that miiiiiight happen), but it's also something I'll take if it's available...

@JourneymanGeek Oh yea, as far as nonsupported: most mice are happy to report much faster than at 125 Hz... so, it usually works out fine.

Welp, managed to fix that stupid ADF noise on my HP OJP8630. Turns out the plastic housing of the ADF mechanism can get warped causing it to rub against the gears inside.
user image
Notice the gray strip of plastic above the gears? Apparently, pulling that piece out a bit fixes the problem.
The grinding noise can occur if you put something heavy on the ADF cover, causing the plastic housing to deform (I made the mistake of putting a ream of paper on top).

@bwDraco As someone that services very expensive scanners, please don't put heavy things on top of the ADF. D:
We had a site that was having constant feed problems with one of these things:
user image
But whenever we turned up to site the machine would run fine during our testing.
Turns out, the operator would rest his elbow on the corner of the upper pod (the bit with the document output tray), which cause excess pressure on the feed rollers on one side.
We only caught it because we asked him to show us how he scanned something...

Wow.
It took me a bunch of power cycles and even a few trips to the printer's service menu to test the ADF and verify that the issue was resolved.
(touch Home-Back-Home-Home [the keys are not lit] to access the engineering menu, then select Service Menu > Service Tests > ADF duplex pick correct output. Put some paper in the ADF and press OK to start the test)

I'm having one of those weird bugs again
I'm switching a lot of CD/DVDs right now. And every couple of times, Windows will not refresh the name of the disc and the filesystem
So it appears as if the previous disc is still inserted
When you try to open one of the files, the contents are just random data
Cycle the try once and everything is back to normal
I haven't completely made up my mind yet, but I don't think I like this
The last part of my process today is to put the disc in a shredder. So, "Oh, I already saw this one. No need to copy it." is rather costly
