Surround is a mixed bag, due to proprietary formats and depreciation of others.
My best advice for surround, is to check Craigslist or e-bay for an old receiver that supports both Dolby and DTS. You want one that has a HDMI input, optical input and surround analog inputs. This gives you three choices to obtain surround, either via HDMI, Optical or Analog. You will find that you will use all three options to find one, that works in a particular game.
There are still some receivers AFAIK, that have analog inputs, but they are only found on the more expensive models. If a person wanted to go new, you might also consider something that supported Atmos.
Next, it depends on where the source comes from and the what the game or app offers. Then whether you use the sound out via Nvidia's GPU, a discrete or motherboard integrated soundcard. You'll probably want the option to use all of them.
This is a good guide

But currently with the Logitech, you need to start by identifying your audio chip and what technology is licensed for you to use from the vendor that sold it. Then you need to look into hacking in the supported but not licensed stuff

During the day, I use a 5.1 setup with 5 standing speakers and a sub, paired with a Sound Blaster ZxR, which supports pretty much all standards.
At night, I use headphones.
Now, every game / app works great, but only with the special ingredient: the Sound Blaster's 3D Surround feature turned up to 100%. Otherwise, only 2 speakers are used mostly, which is a waste, or with headphones, there is no 3D positioning unless the game specifically supports it - not many do properly.
I believe a couple of people on these forums also use Atmos speakers mounter to the ceiling etc.
The presence felt by using real speakers and subs is very much more than headphones simply because of the fact that you don't only hear with your ears - your whole body feels vibrations which expand hearing capabilities to a colossal degree.
I also have a twin buttkicker setup, but never use it nowadays as putting a large sub right behind my seating area works far better.
Also using Peace Equiliser software driver to correct for speaker timing and compensate for anomalies using a professional calibration mic, as well as selectively upmix stereo to 5.1 in scenarios where ZxR's surround setting isn't adequate.
There is no headphone experience as exhilarating as a feeling of deep base from music/movie/game from an explosion or roar of an engine, growl of a predator, drums and bass guitar in a song, or simply Morgan Freeman's magnificent voice etc, propagating thunderously through one's body.

I have a Z906 too, with a Sound Blaster Z card. I play games in 5.1 if I can, and if they are only stereo it annoys me. Game recommendations, I don't know. Most support 5.1.

Y'know what, I'm gonna use this opportunity to vent and ramble a little bit myself.
I'm in a pretty deep funk of triggered depression right now. Nothing in particular, other than the fact that work has gotten back to being insanely busy again (like it was for 12 of the last 13 months), and I've basically worked 12 hour days for the past 3 days, a 10 hour day before that, and another 10-12 hour one ahead of me tomorrow before I finally get 2 days off, which the first day will probably be spent entirely in bed just sleeping and too depressed/exhausted to get out of bed, and whatever other time I have will be spent getting caught up on the shitton of things I've got piling up (in some cases, quite literally. ie laundry dishes, and junk/clutter in my apt) and getting to the doctor to reup on my anti-depressant meds that I've been out of the past couple days mainly because I couldn't get an appointment with him on my last couple days off, all before having to do another 50-60 hour work week (or if I'm lucky, it'll "only" be 40 hours, hooray).
On top of all that, I'm feeling really disconnected from my gf right now. She had one of her longtime friends, a person whom came back into her life over the past 6 months and whom she tried to help out and such recently and had to cut off due to his own mental health issues causing problems for her, proceed to end his life a week ago. Almost immediately prior to, he listed her as his next of kin on his medical records, so she was the one the police contacted upon finding his body and has had to deal with the responsibility thereafter. This obviously has affected her deeply, and ended up costing her job because she understandably couldn't work the next day (partially because she was being summoned to the coroner's office, and also partially due to lack of sleep and emotional trauma).
Although I can imagine and understand on some degree how she feels and what she's going through, unfortunately I cannot truly relate. Not just because of the circumstances are fairly unique, but because I, too, have some autistic tendencies, to the extent that at one point in my life I went for an assessment for Asperger's Syndome (which the psychiatrist did not feel I would fall under such classification, but agreed that I would likely "lay somewhere on the autism spectrum"). Despite my attempts at personal development in this area, I still feel like I'm limited in terms of my ability to love, or even care about others on a basic level. A perfect example was my own mother passed away rather quickly from cancer a year and a half ago, and to this day I have not shed even a single tear for her (nor any other person that has passed in my life). Even conversing with people is a bit of a challenge for me because I do not have a genuine interest or care about most of them, so I actually force myself to ask them questions that I know a normal person would ask to discuss, for the sake of creating small talk (which I would otherwise not engage in) and the appearance of caring... so yeah, kinda hard when the person I "love" is going through something like this, and rather than feel sympathy or empathy, it's more of a form of pity and angst towards it.
Anyways, back to myself (because that's all I really care about... well, not true, I do really love my cat! Well, one of them, at least... the other's an asshole). I bought myself a new monitor (Dell S2716DG) late last week, and I haven't even been able to bring myself to play anything on it since. Well, at least nothing in 3D yet. I did finally download my free copy of Destiny 2 that I got from my 2nd 1080 Ti purchase. I figured that since I can't play that in 3D it would at least make a good game to test out G-Sync to see what the hype about that was and *drumroll* I honestly could not tell/feel any difference playing with G-Sync vs playing any 3DVision game with a solid 60 FPS before. I mean, if I set vsync in the game to a lower refresh rate then yeah, I can see a difference doing a direct comparison, but other than that I'm completely underwhelmed by G-sync (not really surprised, though). Am I missing something here, or is it just the lack of 3D that's turning me off of it? Speaking of which, I actually almost felt dizzy trying to play in 2D at first, lol. My brain literally couldn't handle focusing on a flat screen. Eventually got used to it, but ugh, can never go back to pancake gaming full-time!
Speaking of other things/games I haven't been able to play, I haven't touched my Oculus Rift in like, 2-4 months, and even then I would only have the energy to play it like once a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the immersion, and more importantly the fun factor of VR gaming, but I just don't have it in me to be standing up for hours in one spot (or moving around in the 5x7' space I have in my apt for VR gaming). I really wish I did, especially after the amount of effort I put into getting my cables all ceiling mounted and barely used it since, not to mention my ever growing library of games that I haven't even gotten around to testing yet.
Oh, and then there's my game fixes backlog that's ever growing. Let's see, there's:
1) FFXV - Maybe 75% complete. Been like a month since I was last able to even look in it's direction, and I know some people are waiting on and hoping for a final (hah) revision of the fix. Probably the #1 project I want to get back to, but first I want to finish up on...
2) XCom 2 DLC - Was supposed to be a 1-2 day job, and ended up taking up the last 2-3 weeks of my fixing time. Around 80-90% complete with my tangled mess of code for my automated presets that was needed to get it working prior to the latest 3DMigoto update, which now I can probably redo and be way easier/better with the new awesome features, but would require scrapping and starting over all the HUD work I did (all the actual game effects are fixed via regex, so that's all good) and I just don't know if I'm willing to do that since what I have now does work (and admittedly is pretty awesome with how seamless I have it now in comparison to how much of a chore it was playing this with my original fix and needing to use toggle keys to change convergence based on what was happening on screen), it just hurts my brain to even think of if I had to add another preset or condition, especially if I had to come back to fixing it again down the road.
3) Vermintide 2 - about 95% complete, pretty much was about to do a blog post and then BAM, blocked by EAC. Fuckers. Hopefully DSS can work something out with them though.
4) Ryse - Son of Rome - Started looking at this again after working on Kingdom Come Deliverance, since it never sat well with me the incomplete state I had to leave this in, and that I managed to fix a bunch of things in KDC that I could apply here, but there still some distant light clipping issues that I couldn't resolve quickly and unfortunately this got shelved.
5) Killing Foor 2 - Refixed all broken game effects using regex since one of the previous updates broke it. HUD could use a little more refixing but is completely playable in the state I got it. Been too lazy to redo my blog post for that.
6) FFXIV - Pretty much 99%. Massive job, really involved HUD work, but just never got around to doing a blog post here either. Kinda planned on finishing Stormblood xpac to ensure there were no other effects needed to be fixed, but I kinda hated the storyline of SB compared to the amazing Heavensward xpac and lost my interest. Also played entirely solo the whole time, then finally gave into joining a FC for someone that I kept persistently bumping into, and I think now having a social aspect to the game turned me off of it. Haven't played this in like 3 months and still got my sub payments going. Ugh.
7) GTA IV - Fixed directional shadows easily. Can't for the life of me get point shadows fixed. Hate working on DX9. Think it's a lost cause.
And that's only stuff from within the past few months. I could probably list off at least a dozen or so other started projects, or ones that got broken due to updates. This is one of my biggest failings to this community, I love to get started on new fixes (and other various projects) but once I lose interest/motivation to keep at it, or hit a major roadblock in the fix, it's hard for me to get back to them and finish them up (especially with my work situation. Last thing I want to do after a 10-12 hour shift is ANYTHING that feels remotely like work, which includes cooking, cleaning, or other basic responsibilities). And once enough time passes, I kinda forget or I'll get the allure or taste of fixing or playing something new, and then it's almost a lost cause. So for anyone that I've left stranded or hanging, I do sincerely apologize. At the same time, I really don't mind when people ask for follow ups. It helps to rekindle my motivation sometimes because I like to help and contribute where I can.
Outside of gaming, I'm really struggling with getting back into any sort of healthy routine. Despite my job having a very physical aspect to it, I'm in the worst shape of my life. Like I said, after working so many hours, I have no energy/motivation to get to the gym, or do groceries and/or cook proper, healthy meals... What really sucks is that I know that if I were to find it in me to start doing these things again that it would actually help me have more energy and feel better, but it's so hard to get motivated after being out of it for so long.
Another area I've completely laxed on is my namesake, my love for music and DJ'ing. Although I stopped clubbing, partying, and gigging out many years ago, I had a weekly show on an internet radio station that I kept going for almost 10 years. I kept doing that during my years of addiction, recovery, mental health stints, taking a few breaks here and there as needed, but I managed to keep it going through all those dark/hard times because it was something I loved to do for myself... but I stopped doing it all together about 6 months ago (again, due to lack of energy/motivation from work). Having an artistic outlet was very cathartic for me at times, I can still listen to some of my mixes and just be blown away by them and proud of my level of mastery of it, but I just feel like I've lost that flame inside of me for that (and pretty much burned my bridges with the people of the station for just ghosting on them all together).
Really, the only thing that I feel like I get enjoyment out of anymore is gaming, but being so exhausted and unmotivated to do that I guess is what is triggering my depression now. I'm concerned, however, that gaming is what my addiction has latched onto (in the absence of using substances for over 5 years now), so a part of me also feels like perhaps the best thing for me would be to take a significant break from gaming all together in order to get my priorities straight, a decent proper career going, better health practices, interpersonal relationships, and all that other good stuff... but gaming has been the biggest thing in my life since I was like 6 years old, I can't imagine a life without it (at least not one that I would enjoy), and I can't fathom making such drastic changes at 37 years old. Like, seriously, I couldn't even imagine going a single day. I'd get home and then what the hell would I do? Maybe watch a movie or TV series, then probably get hooked on doing that, and then what's the point? Is that any better? So, the way I see it, I'll probably be gaming til the day I die... just be missing out on pretty much everything else good that life has to offer.
Ok, I'm done now. I hope it was an interesting read (or rather, not a total bore at least), or perhaps some parts even relatable to some of you or... actually nah, like I said before I really don't care if anyone liked it :P, but it felt good to blurt all that out, so cheers.

Wow, sorry about your situation. What's your job about, and why does it take that many suspiciously illegal hours? I hope your situation can improve.
Tell me about crosstalk and scanlines on that Dell monitor, if it's a revision newer than mine. I have (still unsold, I'm lazy) the A01 and ghosting was bad compared to the Asus PG278QR. And less bright in 3D.
And I hope you can finish the FFXV fix someday. If it isn't done in a few months, I'll try to help whenever Nvidia releases a damned new GPU. I really can't stand the performance I get now and I don't want to sacrifice resolution.
About myself, this is my plan:
- [s]Okami HD[/s] (done): >95% done (there are some skyboxes I don't know how to fix) and I'm halfway through the game, just testing it lately.
- [s]Shantae Half Genie Hero[/s] (done): I just bought it yesterday on GOG (I was eagerly waiting every week since the Steam release), and I don't know if it needs a fix or not. If not, I'll at least give some QOL mods.
- Resident Evil 7: I bought it at the same time as Okami, but I didn't even start it. I'll try to see if some new ideas I have now can work, after I finish with those two other games.
- Ys Memories of Celceta: I'll get it on release date. Praying for DX11 :p.
- Zwei Ilvard Insurrection: waiting for the 60fps mode. I don't know if it needs a fix, but it's also DX9, hmmm.
- Ys VIII: waiting for it to be completely patched and cheaper.
- Star Wars X-Wing Alliance: mostly done weeks ago, but I get a lot of crashes that discourage me from playing it (apart from the 30fps cap).
- Clive Barker's Undying: the typical dgVoodoo fix, that for some reason I left abandoned after almost finishing the fix. There were some geometry depth issues that I wanted to solve first.
- Nioh: whenever it's on a good sale, I'll get it. I'm kinda surprised that no one else was interested in fixing it, aside from some brief time Helifax dedicated to it.
- Dead Cells: I'll buy it when it leaves early access. Kaimasta told me it's DX11 and 100% flat. I want to do what I did with Cuphead. If it doesn't work, at least it's a good game with uncapped fps.
- Bloodstained: 3 years waiting since the kickstarter and still no release date. It's UE4 so I'll start with the universal fix, fix whatever remains broken, and make mods like removing cel shading :).
- Soul Calibur VI: the date I get it depends on if the universal fix is enough or not.
- And more stuff, apart from updating fixes if game updates break them (pls no more DMC HD Collection patches that break all shaders).
Wow, sorry about your situation. What's your job about, and why does it take that many suspiciously illegal hours? I hope your situation can improve.
Tell me about crosstalk and scanlines on that Dell monitor, if it's a revision newer than mine. I have (still unsold, I'm lazy) the A01 and ghosting was bad compared to the Asus PG278QR. And less bright in 3D.
And I hope you can finish the FFXV fix someday. If it isn't done in a few months, I'll try to help whenever Nvidia releases a damned new GPU. I really can't stand the performance I get now and I don't want to sacrifice resolution.
About myself, this is my plan:
- Okami HD (done): >95% done (there are some skyboxes I don't know how to fix) and I'm halfway through the game, just testing it lately.
- Shantae Half Genie Hero (done): I just bought it yesterday on GOG (I was eagerly waiting every week since the Steam release), and I don't know if it needs a fix or not. If not, I'll at least give some QOL mods.
- Resident Evil 7: I bought it at the same time as Okami, but I didn't even start it. I'll try to see if some new ideas I have now can work, after I finish with those two other games.
- Ys Memories of Celceta: I'll get it on release date. Praying for DX11 :p.
- Zwei Ilvard Insurrection: waiting for the 60fps mode. I don't know if it needs a fix, but it's also DX9, hmmm.
- Ys VIII: waiting for it to be completely patched and cheaper.
- Star Wars X-Wing Alliance: mostly done weeks ago, but I get a lot of crashes that discourage me from playing it (apart from the 30fps cap).
- Clive Barker's Undying: the typical dgVoodoo fix, that for some reason I left abandoned after almost finishing the fix. There were some geometry depth issues that I wanted to solve first.
- Nioh: whenever it's on a good sale, I'll get it. I'm kinda surprised that no one else was interested in fixing it, aside from some brief time Helifax dedicated to it.
- Dead Cells: I'll buy it when it leaves early access. Kaimasta told me it's DX11 and 100% flat. I want to do what I did with Cuphead. If it doesn't work, at least it's a good game with uncapped fps.

I can literally not respond to all of that at once DJ-RK but it was really nice getting to know you as a human being rather than what you could count of being your online persona. I'm bipolar and my main issue is definitelly mania as that is being very crazy indeed. I've been locked up against my will 10+ times and it is never fun. Now I have reached a point where I can be medicated at home so I can actually get a more normal life.
Bipolar obviosly involves depression but I don't care as much about depression. I can go around for month being depressed and often not realizing it very much. Suddenly somethings trigger my mania and I feel like a prophet among other things. The depressed->manic transition is very quick and can literally happen in seconds.
After buying a TV I have almost no money but if it wasn't the case I would donate considering you have been fixing loads of games I'm interested in including fighting games in particular. I'm sitting on dual Tournament Edition SF4 controllers which can be used overall with arcade games as well.
I'm going to be evil enough to actually type a wishlist which I don't expect to be fixed:
RealMyst: Masterpiece edition
Trials 2: Second edition
Trials Evolution Gold
Pinball Arcade DX11
Counter-Strike: Global offensive (fix done using community servers not using VAC)
MKX lightning which apparently was impossible
GTA IV, think it's about time.
Burnout: Paradise
All your fixes are your own work and I can claim no real effort towards your work.
You use 3Dmigoto to the max and that should be it. This involves the assembler which is the only part of Project Flugan that turned out pretty well. DarkStarSword don't want to give me any credit when related to being a 3Dmigoto developer and I agree with his sentiment. Compared to DarkStarSword I'm a noob at coding 3Dmigoto at all.
I have started work on a new assembler (derived from the current one) to be more human friendly and probably fix a few bugs as well. It's a big project. I just started taking Klonazepam in a bigger dosage. which helps me relax and stop me from becoming manic.
I could probably go on and on but this is enough for now.

Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.
To have a critical piece of code that everyone can enjoy!
What more can you ask for?
Like it or not but I think the Chat topic has reduced my desire to create new topics.
Kind of mission accomplished.
Nobody likes when I suddenly have 3+ new topics for no reason.
I hope it will bring back the harmony of the forum and people can completely ignore the chat topic if they want to avoid my ramblings and insights.

DJ-RK, that's some real heavy stuff there mate.
Are you in the software industry? It's a dirty little secret that it functions on huge overtime and near burnout.
I hope you are being paid hourly. If you are on salary, then your employer is taking heavy and likely illegal advantage of you.
Listen: Review your contract. It will say how many hours are expected, and it will need to be within legal limits. They cannot make you work above these hours. If you decline overtime, they cannot punish you with any kind of retaliation, or else you can take them to the cleaners in court. If it's too much work and it isn't getting finished within the specific contract hours, that's their problem not yours. They need to expand your department and get more people in.
Not. Your. Problem.
In the UK, it's usually 9-5 or 10-6 on salary, and for overtime you get paid extra.
Anything extra, you are doing free for your employer to make them rich at your own expense. You don't owe them anything! It is a form of slavery and the practice is illegal. It's only understandable if it's your own business.
The best thing to do is to start looking for a new job, with a pay rise to boot. At the new place, pay close attention to the number of hours, and make it clear you have family and other commitments which means you will not go over that time period.
I have been through employment court in the past. Let me make one thing clear: your employer does not give a damn about you. The only thing they care about is the money you make them. All they have to do is pretend to be nice to you and pay your contract salary while making you work over contract hours, working you to the bone.
Your top priority in life is you. If gaming makes you happy, then so be it!
Take care of yourself first man. Then your good cat. Then your GF. Forget about setting yourself on fire to keep your employer warm and rich. You don't owe them anything. If things get worse for you, they will replace you in a heartbeat and forget you ever existed.
Also, forget the fixes. You are under no obligation to make anything for anybody, especially if it causes you stress. Maybe come back to them if and when you feel like it. If never, then again, so be it!
All the best mate. I think you might enjoy a day or two where you just sit in a park and relax, doing nothing at all.

Best of wishes
I'm with Rage on this - the thought of looking for a new job is daunting (and one I'm considering myself), but it sounds like you really need to get out of that place.
In terms of your other issues, have you considered doing some travel? If you can afford it, it's great for getting you out of your routine for a month or two, and away from many of the stresses in your life. It doesn't have to be crazy expensive either depending on where you are, Eastern Europe in particular is full of incredible places and people, and costs very little (compared to western countries).
It probably won't change your life and cure your mental health issues for good, but it might be enough to help break you out of a rut for a while.

DJ-RK first thank you for sharing. Had many same feelings as in your writing.
WTF, your girlfriend got the boot for one day sick ? that´s fucking insane.
Thanks for opening your life. your writing really hit home. I symphatise with you, it´s not easy to keep ploving away with all that happening around you. my best to you !
I apologise if i say something wrong. i don´t try to to that, sometimes i just came too blunt or my english just doesn´t keep up with what i would like to say.
Im now over 40. when i was at my 30´sh i had sometimes some depression at the level i wondered what it would feel to drive 160 km/h to a concrete post at the freeway. and mood swings that were from fucking high to low as it get "going home to die" like 5 minutes after. so i have hunch of what depression can be. after i met my current wife i have had zero really bad days. Don´t quite know why though. I love to be alone and i also don´t cry ever (if you don´t count the one time alone on my GMothers grave years after her heath" and you almost feel bad for not crying. or shamed about it, And feel like i have no feelings. but i ques it´s because i fall in love with her again and again after some time. I even once told her i like the feeling someone else is in the house though im up doing my own things LOL ... "i don´t need to see you to be happy, it´s enough i know your here". Back in those days though it was not an ilness, mental issues, you just had a bad day. Sometimes i feel like thins were better then, now days everybody has somekind of issue and diagnose. it´s fucking crazy. I had zero school mates diagnosed with anythign but maby lactose intolarance. in the army the whole company had one "nut" case. and we all knew he was just lazy and wanted sickleave. i wonder what has changed. most times i blame the parents. what do you expect when they layaround in the house allday long doing nothing and showing that example. atleast in finland welfare is fucking awsome. but it only works for those who do nothing EVER. working people ask for money, you fucking have to pay it back when you can. In my parents youth if you did not go to work you did not eat, so you kind of had to no matter how depressed you were. back then you propably just coped or became alcoholic as there was no drugs. But in the same time i think there must also be something wrong with society and i know depression is a real thing for some and should not be taken lightly ever. and work is just the way to get by for most and healt is more important.
It´s sad to hear people are forced to work over 8 hours aday. I do sometimes but it´s voluntary. there is a difference. yeah kind of...
after army wen´t to school. failed, had lot´s of class skipping. Wen´t back to work after 2000 three or something. worked almoust ten years for one small company. kind of loved my job but i always complained and at the end i was readdy to change carreer. company wen´t bankrupt and i had to find something to do. One guy asked me if i could come and paint for him. not work for him but charge him. I was kind not fond of the idea going solo and entrepreiering but i decided to try it like fuck i have no choises. and been doing painting on my own for 6-7 years now. and nowdays i love more the fact im working for my self than the work im doing.
Though i have grown to love it also into somedegree but still working for you and getting the feed back directly is the best you can wan´t. I got lucky in many ways in the process but still i always recommend it.
though atleast here in finland are lot´s of companys that pay great and have good extra and most times you could make more money on somebody elses list. I do also work too much sometimes but once it happens to you that you lost the taste for what you are doing because you did it too much, it takes a long time to get it back so i say to all, it´s not worth loosing that. take a leave.
I have a though that always has helped me when things are going really really bad.
"Actually things could be worse. And if i fall to the floor the only way is up so why feel shitty"
Yet im also currently in some fucking strange place in terms of doing.
I have shitloads of things to do. Learning more 3D engineering, should clean out my printer and install an upgrade, should print the new parts and im working on a light for work and power unit failed so i need to replace that. I also should learn to make 3d animations so i could work for one company. i installed GTAV and redux, should play that. Should calibrate my projectors. and all sorts of things and after the work day i CANT GET FUCKING NOTHING DONE.... wonder i got this mail writen.
Luckily i know what´s causing it. WORK and mainly it´s Stress caused by the fact i know im booked to christmass and i have a full job to make it happen. At the same time i take more work as im too kind.
It´s crazy because you also stres when there is no work. You think it´s only a state of mind but same time is more then true that if i don´t push my self i don´t get things done in time. And at the same time i say i love it. I actually had an job opportunity quite nice to be frank. but i could not take it as i could only take it end of the year LOL and at the same time i wondered man i don´t wanna give up my indepence. i can´t go to same place every morning. And my body is totally at the end. every joint aces and i can´t work that much longer anymore, i need to make a career change in the future. I ques that also sums a little how addictive enterpreniering is for some.

Are you absolutely sure you have burnt your bridges, with regard to playing your music sets? I have had some experience here and unless you did something REALLY shitty, ghosting a venue etc., which profits from you, is very different from ghosting a GF, which is shitty.
Have you tried sending in your newest mix? If you were regarded to be any good, a DJ-RK reboot (DJ-RK 2.0) could be mutually beneficial...

Interesting topic and great to get to know some of the members of the community. We are just normal guys that love gaming and get through life and this is totally okay.
I don't have any intersting stories about myself to share. But recently I started doing sports again and it feels really good to see that you lose kilos and shape up a bit. For the rest, yeah, totally tired after work. Mostly work 9 hours per day in office and wonder about my career perspectives since what I am doing is actually not really in my field of interests. But yeah, payment is good, I am more or less respected by my collegues and my boss. My dream is however to create my own company, related to new tech, AI, space, marketing, finance etc. But I can't code and I do not really want to give up job security... and yes, after work I am also too tired. You know the story. On the other hand I read a lot about investing in different assets like stocks, cryptos, etc. which became one of my big hobbies since 1 year. At the moment I am gaming less, maybe finally it will happen what my mom told me when I was 12 years old. She said, when you grow up you will stop gaming. I was shaking my head in disbelieve and overall I was right. ;)

I'm extremely happy with my new TV.
I'm currently unlocking 3DTVPlay by attaching a cube. Didn't know if they still sold the package.
I'm obviously played in 720p which give me very smooth fps.
I'm obviously interested in top bottom rendering and powered by geforce EDID editing.
At first I thought it wouldn't cope with CSGO but after finding gaming mode it was greatly improved.
I'm about to write a picture viewing application for interlaced displays with 3D and zoom.
To get 4k interlaced 3D can't be done in most games with a single GTX 980. I have serious plans to wait for next gen nvidia graphics cards. I might buy 3DTVPlay if it¨s still for sale so I doh't have to use the dongle.
I wonder if Nvidia detect the proper size of my TV as I forgot where all the registry settings are.
I really need to setup PNS screenshots.
I'm just thinking out loud as I know there are a lot of threads already that covers these topics.
Forza looks really nice in 4k. Basically everything I've tried looks great in 4K. 3D Blu-ray as well.
If you've made a significant gamefix that I appreciate expect a donation when I get some new cash. Don't expect too much as there are a lot of you out there. It is time for me to show my appretiation for all the work you have done literally for free.

To get 4k interlaced 3D can't be done in most games with a single GTX 980. I have serious plans to wait for next gen nvidia graphics cards. I might buy 3DTVPlay if it¨s still for sale so I doh't have to use the dongle.
I wonder if Nvidia detect the proper size of my TV as I forgot where all the registry settings are.
I really need to setup PNS screenshots.
I'm just thinking out loud as I know there are a lot of threads already that covers these topics.
Forza looks really nice in 4k. Basically everything I've tried looks great in 4K. 3D Blu-ray as well.
If you've made a significant gamefix that I appreciate expect a donation when I get some new cash. Don't expect too much as there are a lot of you out there. It is time for me to show my appretiation for all the work you have done literally for free.
Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.

What more can you ask for?
My best advice for surround, is to check Craigslist or e-bay for an old receiver that supports both Dolby and DTS. You want one that has a HDMI input, optical input and surround analog inputs. This gives you three choices to obtain surround, either via HDMI, Optical or Analog. You will find that you will use all three options to find one, that works in a particular game.
There are still some receivers AFAIK, that have analog inputs, but they are only found on the more expensive models. If a person wanted to go new, you might also consider something that supported Atmos.
Next, it depends on where the source comes from and the what the game or app offers. Then whether you use the sound out via Nvidia's GPU, a discrete or motherboard integrated soundcard. You'll probably want the option to use all of them.
This is a good guide

But currently with the Logitech, you need to start by identifying your audio chip and what technology is licensed for you to use from the vendor that sold it. Then you need to look into hacking in the supported but not licensed stuff
At night, I use headphones.
Now, every game / app works great, but only with the special ingredient: the Sound Blaster's 3D Surround feature turned up to 100%. Otherwise, only 2 speakers are used mostly, which is a waste, or with headphones, there is no 3D positioning unless the game specifically supports it - not many do properly.
I believe a couple of people on these forums also use Atmos speakers mounter to the ceiling etc.
The presence felt by using real speakers and subs is very much more than headphones simply because of the fact that you don't only hear with your ears - your whole body feels vibrations which expand hearing capabilities to a colossal degree.
I also have a twin buttkicker setup, but never use it nowadays as putting a large sub right behind my seating area works far better.
Also using Peace Equiliser software driver to correct for speaker timing and compensate for anomalies using a professional calibration mic, as well as selectively upmix stereo to 5.1 in scenarios where ZxR's surround setting isn't adequate.
There is no headphone experience as exhilarating as a feeling of deep base from music/movie/game from an explosion or roar of an engine, growl of a predator, drums and bass guitar in a song, or simply Morgan Freeman's magnificent voice etc, propagating thunderously through one's body.

I'm in a pretty deep funk of triggered depression right now. Nothing in particular, other than the fact that work has gotten back to being insanely busy again (like it was for 12 of the last 13 months), and I've basically worked 12 hour days for the past 3 days, a 10 hour day before that, and another 10-12 hour one ahead of me tomorrow before I finally get 2 days off, which the first day will probably be spent entirely in bed just sleeping and too depressed/exhausted to get out of bed, and whatever other time I have will be spent getting caught up on the shitton of things I've got piling up (in some cases, quite literally. ie laundry dishes, and junk/clutter in my apt) and getting to the doctor to reup on my anti-depressant meds that I've been out of the past couple days mainly because I couldn't get an appointment with him on my last couple days off, all before having to do another 50-60 hour work week (or if I'm lucky, it'll "only" be 40 hours, hooray).
On top of all that, I'm feeling really disconnected from my gf right now. She had one of her longtime friends, a person whom came back into her life over the past 6 months and whom she tried to help out and such recently and had to cut off due to his own mental health issues causing problems for her, proceed to end his life a week ago. Almost immediately prior to, he listed her as his next of kin on his medical records, so she was the one the police contacted upon finding his body and has had to deal with the responsibility thereafter. This obviously has affected her deeply, and ended up costing her job because she understandably couldn't work the next day (partially because she was being summoned to the coroner's office, and also partially due to lack of sleep and emotional trauma).
Although I can imagine and understand on some degree how she feels and what she's going through, unfortunately I cannot truly relate. Not just because of the circumstances are fairly unique, but because I, too, have some autistic tendencies, to the extent that at one point in my life I went for an assessment for Asperger's Syndome (which the psychiatrist did not feel I would fall under such classification, but agreed that I would likely "lay somewhere on the autism spectrum"). Despite my attempts at personal development in this area, I still feel like I'm limited in terms of my ability to love, or even care about others on a basic level. A perfect example was my own mother passed away rather quickly from cancer a year and a half ago, and to this day I have not shed even a single tear for her (nor any other person that has passed in my life). Even conversing with people is a bit of a challenge for me because I do not have a genuine interest or care about most of them, so I actually force myself to ask them questions that I know a normal person would ask to discuss, for the sake of creating small talk (which I would otherwise not engage in) and the appearance of caring... so yeah, kinda hard when the person I "love" is going through something like this, and rather than feel sympathy or empathy, it's more of a form of pity and angst towards it.
Anyways, back to myself (because that's all I really care about... well, not true, I do really love my cat! Well, one of them, at least... the other's an asshole). I bought myself a new monitor (Dell S2716DG) late last week, and I haven't even been able to bring myself to play anything on it since. Well, at least nothing in 3D yet. I did finally download my free copy of Destiny 2 that I got from my 2nd 1080 Ti purchase. I figured that since I can't play that in 3D it would at least make a good game to test out G-Sync to see what the hype about that was and *drumroll* I honestly could not tell/feel any difference playing with G-Sync vs playing any 3DVision game with a solid 60 FPS before. I mean, if I set vsync in the game to a lower refresh rate then yeah, I can see a difference doing a direct comparison, but other than that I'm completely underwhelmed by G-sync (not really surprised, though). Am I missing something here, or is it just the lack of 3D that's turning me off of it? Speaking of which, I actually almost felt dizzy trying to play in 2D at first, lol. My brain literally couldn't handle focusing on a flat screen. Eventually got used to it, but ugh, can never go back to pancake gaming full-time!
Speaking of other things/games I haven't been able to play, I haven't touched my Oculus Rift in like, 2-4 months, and even then I would only have the energy to play it like once a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the immersion, and more importantly the fun factor of VR gaming, but I just don't have it in me to be standing up for hours in one spot (or moving around in the 5x7' space I have in my apt for VR gaming). I really wish I did, especially after the amount of effort I put into getting my cables all ceiling mounted and barely used it since, not to mention my ever growing library of games that I haven't even gotten around to testing yet.
Oh, and then there's my game fixes backlog that's ever growing. Let's see, there's:
1) FFXV - Maybe 75% complete. Been like a month since I was last able to even look in it's direction, and I know some people are waiting on and hoping for a final (hah) revision of the fix. Probably the #1 project I want to get back to, but first I want to finish up on...
2) XCom 2 DLC - Was supposed to be a 1-2 day job, and ended up taking up the last 2-3 weeks of my fixing time. Around 80-90% complete with my tangled mess of code for my automated presets that was needed to get it working prior to the latest 3DMigoto update, which now I can probably redo and be way easier/better with the new awesome features, but would require scrapping and starting over all the HUD work I did (all the actual game effects are fixed via regex, so that's all good) and I just don't know if I'm willing to do that since what I have now does work (and admittedly is pretty awesome with how seamless I have it now in comparison to how much of a chore it was playing this with my original fix and needing to use toggle keys to change convergence based on what was happening on screen), it just hurts my brain to even think of if I had to add another preset or condition, especially if I had to come back to fixing it again down the road.
3) Vermintide 2 - about 95% complete, pretty much was about to do a blog post and then BAM, blocked by EAC. Fuckers. Hopefully DSS can work something out with them though.
4) Ryse - Son of Rome - Started looking at this again after working on Kingdom Come Deliverance, since it never sat well with me the incomplete state I had to leave this in, and that I managed to fix a bunch of things in KDC that I could apply here, but there still some distant light clipping issues that I couldn't resolve quickly and unfortunately this got shelved.
5) Killing Foor 2 - Refixed all broken game effects using regex since one of the previous updates broke it. HUD could use a little more refixing but is completely playable in the state I got it. Been too lazy to redo my blog post for that.
6) FFXIV - Pretty much 99%. Massive job, really involved HUD work, but just never got around to doing a blog post here either. Kinda planned on finishing Stormblood xpac to ensure there were no other effects needed to be fixed, but I kinda hated the storyline of SB compared to the amazing Heavensward xpac and lost my interest. Also played entirely solo the whole time, then finally gave into joining a FC for someone that I kept persistently bumping into, and I think now having a social aspect to the game turned me off of it. Haven't played this in like 3 months and still got my sub payments going. Ugh.
7) GTA IV - Fixed directional shadows easily. Can't for the life of me get point shadows fixed. Hate working on DX9. Think it's a lost cause.
And that's only stuff from within the past few months. I could probably list off at least a dozen or so other started projects, or ones that got broken due to updates. This is one of my biggest failings to this community, I love to get started on new fixes (and other various projects) but once I lose interest/motivation to keep at it, or hit a major roadblock in the fix, it's hard for me to get back to them and finish them up (especially with my work situation. Last thing I want to do after a 10-12 hour shift is ANYTHING that feels remotely like work, which includes cooking, cleaning, or other basic responsibilities). And once enough time passes, I kinda forget or I'll get the allure or taste of fixing or playing something new, and then it's almost a lost cause. So for anyone that I've left stranded or hanging, I do sincerely apologize. At the same time, I really don't mind when people ask for follow ups. It helps to rekindle my motivation sometimes because I like to help and contribute where I can.
Outside of gaming, I'm really struggling with getting back into any sort of healthy routine. Despite my job having a very physical aspect to it, I'm in the worst shape of my life. Like I said, after working so many hours, I have no energy/motivation to get to the gym, or do groceries and/or cook proper, healthy meals... What really sucks is that I know that if I were to find it in me to start doing these things again that it would actually help me have more energy and feel better, but it's so hard to get motivated after being out of it for so long.
Another area I've completely laxed on is my namesake, my love for music and DJ'ing. Although I stopped clubbing, partying, and gigging out many years ago, I had a weekly show on an internet radio station that I kept going for almost 10 years. I kept doing that during my years of addiction, recovery, mental health stints, taking a few breaks here and there as needed, but I managed to keep it going through all those dark/hard times because it was something I loved to do for myself... but I stopped doing it all together about 6 months ago (again, due to lack of energy/motivation from work). Having an artistic outlet was very cathartic for me at times, I can still listen to some of my mixes and just be blown away by them and proud of my level of mastery of it, but I just feel like I've lost that flame inside of me for that (and pretty much burned my bridges with the people of the station for just ghosting on them all together).
Really, the only thing that I feel like I get enjoyment out of anymore is gaming, but being so exhausted and unmotivated to do that I guess is what is triggering my depression now. I'm concerned, however, that gaming is what my addiction has latched onto (in the absence of using substances for over 5 years now), so a part of me also feels like perhaps the best thing for me would be to take a significant break from gaming all together in order to get my priorities straight, a decent proper career going, better health practices, interpersonal relationships, and all that other good stuff... but gaming has been the biggest thing in my life since I was like 6 years old, I can't imagine a life without it (at least not one that I would enjoy), and I can't fathom making such drastic changes at 37 years old. Like, seriously, I couldn't even imagine going a single day. I'd get home and then what the hell would I do? Maybe watch a movie or TV series, then probably get hooked on doing that, and then what's the point? Is that any better? So, the way I see it, I'll probably be gaming til the day I die... just be missing out on pretty much everything else good that life has to offer.
Ok, I'm done now. I hope it was an interesting read (or rather, not a total bore at least), or perhaps some parts even relatable to some of you or... actually nah, like I said before I really don't care if anyone liked it :P, but it felt good to blurt all that out, so cheers.

Tell me about crosstalk and scanlines on that Dell monitor, if it's a revision newer than mine. I have (still unsold, I'm lazy) the A01 and ghosting was bad compared to the Asus PG278QR. And less bright in 3D.
And I hope you can finish the FFXV fix someday. If it isn't done in a few months, I'll try to help whenever Nvidia releases a damned new GPU. I really can't stand the performance I get now and I don't want to sacrifice resolution.
About myself, this is my plan:
-
Okami HD(done): >95% done (there are some skyboxes I don't know how to fix) and I'm halfway through the game, just testing it lately.-
Shantae Half Genie Hero(done): I just bought it yesterday on GOG (I was eagerly waiting every week since the Steam release), and I don't know if it needs a fix or not. If not, I'll at least give some QOL mods.- Resident Evil 7: I bought it at the same time as Okami, but I didn't even start it. I'll try to see if some new ideas I have now can work, after I finish with those two other games.
- Ys Memories of Celceta: I'll get it on release date. Praying for DX11 :p.
- Zwei Ilvard Insurrection: waiting for the 60fps mode. I don't know if it needs a fix, but it's also DX9, hmmm.
- Ys VIII: waiting for it to be completely patched and cheaper.
- Star Wars X-Wing Alliance: mostly done weeks ago, but I get a lot of crashes that discourage me from playing it (apart from the 30fps cap).
- Clive Barker's Undying: the typical dgVoodoo fix, that for some reason I left abandoned after almost finishing the fix. There were some geometry depth issues that I wanted to solve first.
- Nioh: whenever it's on a good sale, I'll get it. I'm kinda surprised that no one else was interested in fixing it, aside from some brief time Helifax dedicated to it.
- Dead Cells: I'll buy it when it leaves early access. Kaimasta told me it's DX11 and 100% flat. I want to do what I did with Cuphead. If it doesn't work, at least it's a good game with uncapped fps.
- Bloodstained: 3 years waiting since the kickstarter and still no release date. It's UE4 so I'll start with the universal fix, fix whatever remains broken, and make mods like removing cel shading :).
- Soul Calibur VI: the date I get it depends on if the universal fix is enough or not.
- And more stuff, apart from updating fixes if game updates break them (pls no more DMC HD Collection patches that break all shaders).

Bipolar obviosly involves depression but I don't care as much about depression. I can go around for month being depressed and often not realizing it very much. Suddenly somethings trigger my mania and I feel like a prophet among other things. The depressed->manic transition is very quick and can literally happen in seconds.
After buying a TV I have almost no money but if it wasn't the case I would donate considering you have been fixing loads of games I'm interested in including fighting games in particular. I'm sitting on dual Tournament Edition SF4 controllers which can be used overall with arcade games as well.
I'm going to be evil enough to actually type a wishlist which I don't expect to be fixed:
RealMyst: Masterpiece edition
Trials 2: Second edition
Trials Evolution Gold
Pinball Arcade DX11
Counter-Strike: Global offensive (fix done using community servers not using VAC)
MKX lightning which apparently was impossible
GTA IV, think it's about time.
Burnout: Paradise
All your fixes are your own work and I can claim no real effort towards your work.
You use 3Dmigoto to the max and that should be it. This involves the assembler which is the only part of Project Flugan that turned out pretty well. DarkStarSword don't want to give me any credit when related to being a 3Dmigoto developer and I agree with his sentiment. Compared to DarkStarSword I'm a noob at coding 3Dmigoto at all.
I have started work on a new assembler (derived from the current one) to be more human friendly and probably fix a few bugs as well. It's a big project. I just started taking Klonazepam in a bigger dosage. which helps me relax and stop me from becoming manic.
I could probably go on and on but this is enough for now.
Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.

Are you in the software industry? It's a dirty little secret that it functions on huge overtime and near burnout.
I hope you are being paid hourly. If you are on salary, then your employer is taking heavy and likely illegal advantage of you.
Listen: Review your contract. It will say how many hours are expected, and it will need to be within legal limits. They cannot make you work above these hours. If you decline overtime, they cannot punish you with any kind of retaliation, or else you can take them to the cleaners in court. If it's too much work and it isn't getting finished within the specific contract hours, that's their problem not yours. They need to expand your department and get more people in.
Not. Your. Problem.
In the UK, it's usually 9-5 or 10-6 on salary, and for overtime you get paid extra.
Anything extra, you are doing free for your employer to make them rich at your own expense. You don't owe them anything! It is a form of slavery and the practice is illegal. It's only understandable if it's your own business.
The best thing to do is to start looking for a new job, with a pay rise to boot. At the new place, pay close attention to the number of hours, and make it clear you have family and other commitments which means you will not go over that time period.
I have been through employment court in the past. Let me make one thing clear: your employer does not give a damn about you. The only thing they care about is the money you make them. All they have to do is pretend to be nice to you and pay your contract salary while making you work over contract hours, working you to the bone.
Your top priority in life is you. If gaming makes you happy, then so be it!
Take care of yourself first man. Then your good cat. Then your GF. Forget about setting yourself on fire to keep your employer warm and rich. You don't owe them anything. If things get worse for you, they will replace you in a heartbeat and forget you ever existed.
Also, forget the fixes. You are under no obligation to make anything for anybody, especially if it causes you stress. Maybe come back to them if and when you feel like it. If never, then again, so be it!
All the best mate. I think you might enjoy a day or two where you just sit in a park and relax, doing nothing at all.

In terms of your other issues, have you considered doing some travel? If you can afford it, it's great for getting you out of your routine for a month or two, and away from many of the stresses in your life. It doesn't have to be crazy expensive either depending on where you are, Eastern Europe in particular is full of incredible places and people, and costs very little (compared to western countries).
It probably won't change your life and cure your mental health issues for good, but it might be enough to help break you out of a rut for a while.
WTF, your girlfriend got the boot for one day sick ? that´s fucking insane.
Thanks for opening your life. your writing really hit home. I symphatise with you, it´s not easy to keep ploving away with all that happening around you. my best to you !
I apologise if i say something wrong. i don´t try to to that, sometimes i just came too blunt or my english just doesn´t keep up with what i would like to say.
Im now over 40. when i was at my 30´sh i had sometimes some depression at the level i wondered what it would feel to drive 160 km/h to a concrete post at the freeway. and mood swings that were from fucking high to low as it get "going home to die" like 5 minutes after. so i have hunch of what depression can be. after i met my current wife i have had zero really bad days. Don´t quite know why though. I love to be alone and i also don´t cry ever (if you don´t count the one time alone on my GMothers grave years after her heath" and you almost feel bad for not crying. or shamed about it, And feel like i have no feelings. but i ques it´s because i fall in love with her again and again after some time. I even once told her i like the feeling someone else is in the house though im up doing my own things LOL ... "i don´t need to see you to be happy, it´s enough i know your here". Back in those days though it was not an ilness, mental issues, you just had a bad day. Sometimes i feel like thins were better then, now days everybody has somekind of issue and diagnose. it´s fucking crazy. I had zero school mates diagnosed with anythign but maby lactose intolarance. in the army the whole company had one "nut" case. and we all knew he was just lazy and wanted sickleave. i wonder what has changed. most times i blame the parents. what do you expect when they layaround in the house allday long doing nothing and showing that example. atleast in finland welfare is fucking awsome. but it only works for those who do nothing EVER. working people ask for money, you fucking have to pay it back when you can. In my parents youth if you did not go to work you did not eat, so you kind of had to no matter how depressed you were. back then you propably just coped or became alcoholic as there was no drugs. But in the same time i think there must also be something wrong with society and i know depression is a real thing for some and should not be taken lightly ever. and work is just the way to get by for most and healt is more important.
It´s sad to hear people are forced to work over 8 hours aday. I do sometimes but it´s voluntary. there is a difference. yeah kind of...
after army wen´t to school. failed, had lot´s of class skipping. Wen´t back to work after 2000 three or something. worked almoust ten years for one small company. kind of loved my job but i always complained and at the end i was readdy to change carreer. company wen´t bankrupt and i had to find something to do. One guy asked me if i could come and paint for him. not work for him but charge him. I was kind not fond of the idea going solo and entrepreiering but i decided to try it like fuck i have no choises. and been doing painting on my own for 6-7 years now. and nowdays i love more the fact im working for my self than the work im doing.
Though i have grown to love it also into somedegree but still working for you and getting the feed back directly is the best you can wan´t. I got lucky in many ways in the process but still i always recommend it.
though atleast here in finland are lot´s of companys that pay great and have good extra and most times you could make more money on somebody elses list. I do also work too much sometimes but once it happens to you that you lost the taste for what you are doing because you did it too much, it takes a long time to get it back so i say to all, it´s not worth loosing that. take a leave.
I have a though that always has helped me when things are going really really bad.
"Actually things could be worse. And if i fall to the floor the only way is up so why feel shitty"
Yet im also currently in some fucking strange place in terms of doing.
I have shitloads of things to do. Learning more 3D engineering, should clean out my printer and install an upgrade, should print the new parts and im working on a light for work and power unit failed so i need to replace that. I also should learn to make 3d animations so i could work for one company. i installed GTAV and redux, should play that. Should calibrate my projectors. and all sorts of things and after the work day i CANT GET FUCKING NOTHING DONE.... wonder i got this mail writen.
Luckily i know what´s causing it. WORK and mainly it´s Stress caused by the fact i know im booked to christmass and i have a full job to make it happen. At the same time i take more work as im too kind.
It´s crazy because you also stres when there is no work. You think it´s only a state of mind but same time is more then true that if i don´t push my self i don´t get things done in time. And at the same time i say i love it. I actually had an job opportunity quite nice to be frank. but i could not take it as i could only take it end of the year LOL and at the same time i wondered man i don´t wanna give up my indepence. i can´t go to same place every morning. And my body is totally at the end. every joint aces and i can´t work that much longer anymore, i need to make a career change in the future. I ques that also sums a little how addictive enterpreniering is for some.

Are you absolutely sure you have burnt your bridges, with regard to playing your music sets? I have had some experience here and unless you did something REALLY shitty, ghosting a venue etc., which profits from you, is very different from ghosting a GF, which is shitty.
Have you tried sending in your newest mix? If you were regarded to be any good, a DJ-RK reboot (DJ-RK 2.0) could be mutually beneficial...
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I don't have any intersting stories about myself to share. But recently I started doing sports again and it feels really good to see that you lose kilos and shape up a bit. For the rest, yeah, totally tired after work. Mostly work 9 hours per day in office and wonder about my career perspectives since what I am doing is actually not really in my field of interests. But yeah, payment is good, I am more or less respected by my collegues and my boss. My dream is however to create my own company, related to new tech, AI, space, marketing, finance etc. But I can't code and I do not really want to give up job security... and yes, after work I am also too tired. You know the story. On the other hand I read a lot about investing in different assets like stocks, cryptos, etc. which became one of my big hobbies since 1 year. At the moment I am gaming less, maybe finally it will happen what my mom told me when I was 12 years old. She said, when you grow up you will stop gaming. I was shaking my head in disbelieve and overall I was right. ;)

I'm currently unlocking 3DTVPlay by attaching a cube. Didn't know if they still sold the package.
I'm obviously played in 720p which give me very smooth fps.
I'm obviously interested in top bottom rendering and powered by geforce EDID editing.
At first I thought it wouldn't cope with CSGO but after finding gaming mode it was greatly improved.
I'm about to write a picture viewing application for interlaced displays with 3D and zoom.
To get 4k interlaced 3D can't be done in most games with a single GTX 980. I have serious plans to wait for next gen nvidia graphics cards. I might buy 3DTVPlay if it¨s still for sale so I doh't have to use the dongle.
I wonder if Nvidia detect the proper size of my TV as I forgot where all the registry settings are.
I really need to setup PNS screenshots.
I'm just thinking out loud as I know there are a lot of threads already that covers these topics.
Forza looks really nice in 4k. Basically everything I've tried looks great in 4K. 3D Blu-ray as well.
If you've made a significant gamefix that I appreciate expect a donation when I get some new cash. Don't expect too much as there are a lot of you out there. It is time for me to show my appretiation for all the work you have done literally for free.
Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.
To have a critical piece of code that everyone can enjoy!
What more can you ask for?
