Nope!
One more update: I checked back later and vsync was off again. I had set it to "on" in Nvidia control panel, and after some time doing other things (not a reboot) I started Balatro and it was using a lot of GPU again - Nvidia control panel reverted to the "off" setting.
There are various reports of other utilities taking over vsync and other graphics settings (a big one is f.lux but I don't have thaty installed). I think that Dell Optimizer's "Applications" settings might have reset it, so I turned that function off (that is one difference between my Dell laptop and my homebuilt desktop). So far so good.
Update: turning on vsync in Nvidia control panel did the trick, now gpu is at ~10% on my laptop. Strange to me that it overrides the application settings but i guess I'm just getting out of touch with tech stuff
Thanks for the tip. I just looked and I have vsync on. On my desktop machine, it uses about 10% gpu with vsync on and 40% with vsync off. On my laptop, it's about 40% regardless of the setting.
C'est la vie
Slightly OT, but my laptop sounds like a jet engine when I play Balatro. It's a 2021 Precision 5650 (lightweight CAD workstation) with a Quattro GPU and integrated graphics. Power consumption roughly doubles and both my gpus are around ~40%. I have all settings to minimum.
Same thing with many other games I'd think would be not too demanding. Thronefall, polybridge 2, etc
I suspect an electrical issue on the motherboard.
- What happens if you swap the bed and hotend thermistor, and/or plug one of your reference thermistor into the bed input?
- What is the open-circuit voltage on the signal line of the hotend and bed thermistor inputs?
- What is the short-circuit current of the same?
If you see differences in those last two points, that is a clue that something is messing with the divider circuit that the thermistor is a part of.
I'm lacking context or something because I don't understand why that is so significant.
Yes this is absurd, but it's a (serious) scientific community issue, not a search engine issue.
Can you please elaborate?
I'm one of those who doesn't know, but also is that Phil Collins?
That adds up. All the spots it broke are where the filament bends pretty substantially. Thanks.
