I guess everything except GOG is shitty at once, dependable on how you look at it.

Many games simply will not support a custom FPS at their own; the driver is not always capable setting a custom FPS, the OS may as well not be capable setting a desired FPS... at least not for every game. However, the GOG version most likely got the nearly same build such as any other version, so it can not be worse than another version.

In general i would let the OS run in 120 Hz, so it should sync in 120 Hz. The monitor is compatible with. Above 120 simply is killing pretty much any GPU and even the CPU and with the exception of competitive shooters no game is in need of even more frames.

However, it would mean to lower quality settings... there is no GPU strong enough handling it with modern games at 4k, and not even 1080P in many cases.

Performance simply always comes at the cost of quality, unless it is synced to 60 FPS, then a mid range GPU usually can deliver maximum settings in 1080P (and the 5090 can go up to 4k this way.) This is what i use, and thanks to my prehistoric Plasma it still works well.

For 4k i would need a GPU twice that strong of what i got, for 4k 120 even 4 times as strong (which does not exist...)... so it is pretty much game over in such a "performance settings": Unless i would use fake frames... so either native at 60 FPS or fake frames at 120+ FPS... of which not every game is fully compatible with, but thats another story.

The AfterMath Pt.2

-Everything is Shit-

As life showed us, every shit problem always has at least 2 solutions and a 3d unknown. Can we 'trick' a system? Of course, we can, since programs are programmed by Humans, and humans are both part of life and humans are faulty by design.

We are part of the same system that brought forth, pollination, sonar and flight without even twisting a muscle, or so they say. Not by purpose, no. But by silly accidents, called mutations.... Let that fact sink in for a while.... we progress by accident!!!

Now in the case of Grim Dawn, we have been offered a solution, out of the blue, without addressing anyone, and, we found a solution our selves, by deed of memory... this is also a thing, nature also came up with 'memory'. A system consisting out of 2 seperate assets. One system delivered to you on birth or conceiving and the other one stores 'important stuff needed for survival'. We also know there is probably 1 hidden factor that also includes a solution.

The offered solution, while effective does have it's drawbacks in other situations. For example, in my memory i find earlier experiences that prove that this solution only works in certain cases. By fact there are other titles that work a bit wonky if you change the desktop refresh rate to anything other that the supported monitor refresh rate.

Honesty, yet another miraculous result of evolution, does require me to provide a similar painted description for my own find, limiting the powerdraw on the GPU. I can be quick about this, limiting your GPU may result in good results in most situation but might work against you in others.

As far as contemplations Go

Life needs to be shit, no matter how you put it, or never put it.....

it's weird, alot of people go for such brute force.
1.6KW power house.

and in a week i'll solder a few chips that do the same thing at 200W

XD

Seriously?

That is absolutely astonishing! You must be a master of your trade

truth is as some hardware devs go forward, it becomes too easy to press copy paste over and over.. leading to one very hungry gpu/cpu.
