Monster Hunter TU1 Update issues;

If you loaded in after update without taking any other steps, you probably got your FPS guttered.

Try these, in order

- Backup game save
- Clear shader cache
- Verify game files
- Load game, change gfx settings to ultra
- Reload game, adjust settings to prefs

I forgot to show off my system despite all the rambling.

The Intel is shy. It's hiding under the Nvidia card.

Continuing with OBS settings, be sure that under your streaming options, the proper hardware encoder for your chosen GPU is selected.

Don't be fooled by the apparent power difference between my GPUs, the Intel's AV1 encoding is actually significantly faster and more efficient than Nvidia's NVENC.

Below you can see that both Vtube Studio and OBS are utilizing the GPU under ID 0, which on my example system, it the second Intel Arc GPU.

This frees up the primary GPU for gaming performance, allowing less overhead to be lost to streaming applications, and more power used where needed.

You can verify your settings by using Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to see if an application is using a particular GPU.

To better see your information, I suggest right-clicking on your header row, and checking to match the first image.

GPU ID / Engine can be seen in Performance tab.

A good rule of thumb is to select your highest potential GPU for high-performance work, in this case I'm selecting my 4070 ti/s.

Adding or selecting an existing application will let you route its resource usage to a listed GPU. As an example, I have pre-added and selected OBS and Vtube Studio.

Once hardware and drivers are installed, you can begin altering application priority per GPU in windows.

In Windows 11, access Settings, click System on the left, then Display from the options on the right.

Under Display, chose Graphics.

If your screen resembles the third, you're there. ✅

Before dipping your feet into the new Dual-GPU adventure, be sure that your hardware compatibility checks out.In this case, the Intel wants a PCI Express 4.0 x8 slot, and has a power rating of 50 Watts.

I have sufficient Motherboard so this is good to proceed, including build space.

Today's tech topic will be getting a second GPU (in this case an Intel Arc a310) running alongside a primary GPU.

I'll also be going over how and where to change Windows 11 settings to allow for the second GPU to take over workload from OBS, Vtube Studio, and other QoL topics.

Today's subject;

I found that in windows, you can force the application to use a specific GPU, and I tested this with OBS and VTS to throw them at the Intel, while in Monhunt Wilds.

Added two pics of where I set it, try it on your side to see if this is what you need.

Lemme know if needs more clarification 💕

New build post! Parts manifest linked, and a tiny vid of it in action.

Minus some Win11 based issues, purrs along like a dream ♪~

Yeah, they fooled us pretty hard. I preordered.

Wanna see them do it again?

Look what you've done to my nice tidy desk. (but really, thanks for the reminder).

This was back in the bad old days, running a dual boot between Win2k/whatever current RedHat version it was, off a CD, onto a Sony Vaio ultra thin, circa... 1998?

Good morning ♪~

Up before dawn today — few things to do before midday, so have some pre-sunrise skyline.

If you look close, you can see a peek of the nearby town in the valley, with their lights still on.

"I think you do."

Do not mess with me before my tea. I am absolutely not the person for it.

If there was any one thing that ever defined me, it was this, that a very unprepared young me found, unattended in a library.

I've suffered and surmounted over this, but never regretted being who this shaped. Difficulty tempers us. Revel in each opportunity to surpass yesterday's you.

Red beans and rice acquired, threw in some red pepper, and some scorpion pepper to fire it up some.

Remember your green pepper, celery, and onions!
