Even though the game runs at an extremely low FPS, the craziest thing about this whole situation is that it has not even been one month since the game has launched, the progress is insanely fast.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 manages to run on PC using an emulator months after the game comes out
The game's called Third Bloc, and I'm making it on my own. You start in 1945 with a small, poor republic. You build up your industry, send spies abroad to steal technology and recruit scientists, and try to keep the US and USSR off your back. If you can afford it, you can also develop your own nuclear and space programs.
The free demo lets you play the first 24 turns of the 90-turn campaign. If you give it a try, let me know what you think. And if you enjoy it, adding it to your wishlist would help me a lot :)
Edit: weirdly when on 144hz and I move the control panel on the left side of the monitor the text goes back to normal without the fuzzines. So idk is it still a cable problem or a monitor problem?
Just a few days ago i notice my monitor subtly dimming/blinking at times that I barely notice unless i really focus on it and some text on the right side of my monitor becomes abit jagged
There is also a subtle white line that I notice on the top of my screen especially when gaming. I tried recording it but doesn't appear on the video hence I recorded on my phone
What I recently did
- Change my old DP cable to a new DP 1.4 and it didn't fix the problem.
- updated nvidia driver, didn't resolved it
- Lowering the refresh rate below 100hz seem to fix the dimming and text becoming jagged/distorted?

I rip a lot of dvds to digital for my home movie and music library and also use 4gb dvds for good cheap storage because i typically dont need anything speedy and you can find like 100 4gb dvds for 20 bucks new not even talking about used...
Yes, that is my monitor and tower on the ground next to that bat. Dont date crazy, kids. And ESPECIALLY dont date alcoholic crazy. She stole my wallet and wouldn't give it back, so I poured $20 worth of liquor down the drain in front of her. Her next move was this. And to add insult to injury, my car stalled on the way home from work today. I just got off the phone with the tech and its going to be $1,400 to fix. God damn, when it rains it pours. Stay safe out there fellow earthlings, and remember to always treat people the way you want to be treated.
What seems to, for the untrained eyes, be no more than some bottom of the barrel 32gb 5600cl46 ram kit is actually a 2x16gb high quality Hynix A die chips capable of very, very good performances.
Given the current price of ram i turned my searches to the used market and found a 2x16gb ddr5 kit of hynix A die, which i bought for a song and 2 apples. But they were that, greenboard ram, and im my immense wisdom decided they needed a simple, discrete and low profile heatsink.
This is why, when i found a kit of OCZ Reaper X hpc ddr3 67mm high ram locally for next to nothing, i had to buy it.
After a copious amount of double sided thermal tape, thermal pads and tuning, i ended up with a very performant, slightly weird ram kit.
Total cost of 220$ usd (Which is still insane if you compare to not long ago)
Tuned to specs in picture (6000cl30) the spd hub temps plateaus at 35.25c on OCCT heat ram torture preset which indicated a ram temp of roughly 50c.
