I think the 'Dedicated' one is equivalent to Afterburner's default VRAM readout in Hwinfo, which just tracks how much of the card's VRAM is being used total, including what Windows and any other programs are using. Afterburner also has one called 'Memory Usage \ Process' that tracks the VRAM of the overlaid process only, which can be helpful for knowing exactly how much memory a game is using without Windows or anything else skewing the result.

 

Afterburner with the HWInfo plugin (graphs running on 2nd screen rather than an OSD).

 

Thanks both.

Will have a play around.

 

What about this? Is this recommended nowadays? IIRC, at the start, there were problems.

 

I have mine on, since installing the 3090

Don't think it does much but doesn't seem to cause issues either.

 

I needed to install linux to my SSD in order to install the drivers for the 3060ti. As originally the only res. I could set was 1024x768
Which is odd because I was able to use a bootable USB with my RX580 and the resolution was fine.

 

I don't have it on, still does bugger all as far as i know.

 

Yup seems from a quick google on reddit, mixed results, some say, superb, some say no diff and others say stuttering.

I'll leave it off too

 

TV gaming has been better since I turned it on.

 

Oh maybe I'll give it a shot then

 

For my system in VR I get really bad stuttering with it turned on.

 

I've had it on from day 1, worked fine when I had 2x 2080 Ti's in SLI, then 1x 2080 Ti and now a 3090. Hasn't affected any games that I play or caused any strange issues that I've noticed.

 

I am sometimes getting a random black screen flash, i was getting it every so often up until a couple of weeks or so ago, but i had another one yesterday.

Anyone know what this is related to? Is it the driver or something else? I thought i already updated it before.
I've checked event viewer and i see a bunch of stuff under security, i noticed there's often the same thing under task category saying special logon around the time it happens, but don't know if it's related.

 

Are using HDMI 2.1? What card, display?

 

I turned it off after figuring out it was causing my VR stutters.

 

Had a play around with it and didn't really notice any perf. differences, although felt that input lag was higher so will be keeping it off.

 

When does it happen? Does it do it when you're browsing/watching YouTube? Turning off hardware acceleration is a workaround but will need to be fixed at a driver level.

 

Here it is guys/gals

Cheers ears I take it you have some kind of alert setup as you seem to be on the ball with every release

 

I just keep checking, and find out from other forums too
