  1. Nvidia to publish open source version of Quake II RTX https://hexus.net/gaming/news/pc/129617-nvidia-publish-open-source-version-quake-ii-rtx/ it looks like ray tracing might give second life a face lift and older video cards support it somewhat? it only says basic for none rtx cards Ray Tracing, Your Questions Answered: Types of Ray Tracing, Performance On GeForce GPUs, and More https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-gtx-dxr-ray-tracing-available-now/

  3. is there any ini files or somewhere i can edit to change the slider in firestorm from 2048 to 16384
  4. I gave Alchemy viewer a try 2048mb https://ibb.co/hk9aXA here it says quote An experimental Second Life™ viewer striving to be at the forefront of stability, performance, and technological advancement in the open-source metaverse viewer field. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory I wouldn't say so. no different then the rest tried one tried them all at best a slight ui user interface change and that is all https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface
  5. it would be nice if the catalog displayed whether or not we already purchased items steam does this so you don't accidently make double purchases also it is a bit of a shame that in world purchases are not linked to the web catalog so they do not have a paper trail sales receipt log or allow reviews of any kind untraceable anonymous
  6. What is the benefit of 3rd party viewers if change is not allowed and is forbidden?
  7. this forum seems to be against graphics and visuals, this forum seems to prefer that it had remained 1962 for forever without any progression moving forward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H6hnFV-nDU
  8. out of curiosity is the software 32 bit? because on the page here you claim quote All builds are Large Address Aware for systems with greater than 2 gig memory http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory/Firestorm but this is untrue as you cannot use more then 2048mb 2GB with any version of firestorm
  9. I downloaded the singularity alpha build 6994 went into settings preferences it lets you change the memory via text at first I thought I was golden but it reset anything I typed into it to 2048 and I uninstalled it that is as far as I got with it no point in trying software that doesn't work https://ibb.co/eV83fV
  10. so it is about 10GB to run sl? I had a choice of all the consumer video cards in existence titan v, vega 64 frontier edition, 2080ti etc the vega 64 frontier edition has 16GB vrm but it is also rated one of the worst video cards of all time msrp $999 gaming performance between a 1070 and 1080 nvidia released 1070ti a hair cut off of the 1080 and faster then vega for $100 less then 1080 http://www.hwcompare.com/35802/geforce-gtx-1070-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-1080/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tbD-vX-Kks the 2080ti was $2,000 at retail so i passed as it would be double the price of the 1080ti for basically the same card rebranded with how cut down and gimped it was and performance wasn't there nor hardware for price cost brings nothing to the table for asking price the 1080ti was about $1000+ anything under the 1080ti was a mid range gimped balless video card and i didnt want the low end junker video cards of lag and of course the 1080ti slaps the 2080 out of the ballpark the 2080 and 1080ti are about the same price tag, nvidia was caught cheating nerfing the 1080ti via drivers to make the 2080 and 2080ti seem faster then they actually were as the 2080 had nothing under the hood to compete with besides newer memory ddr6 so nvidia resorts to what they do best cheating nvidia the way you are meant to be played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EQdscIdKEU http://www.hwcompare.com/36599/geforce-rtx-2080-vs-geforce-gtx-1080-ti/ the only way the 2080 would ever win is if the graphics are turned down via driver settings or software game etc nvidia likes to gimp video cards and sell for more $$$ so of course none have any memory so you need a new one constantly but still more then enough to update this decrepit software for http://www.hwcompare.com/33424/geforce-gtx-1070-vs-geforce-gtx-1080-ti/ the graph you showed shows that sl would more or less fit perfectly in a 1080ti and fill the vrm properly on a half decent cut down video card like the 1080ti or super cut down 2080ti or better currently second life running via firestorm only uses about 5% of my cpu 5% of this https://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3-90-GHz- Processor Numberi7-4770K StatusDiscontinued Launch DateQ2'13 it is factory clocked i still have room to overclock it not that it would ever be needed but the option is always there on the table I would upgrade it but the only thing intel does is NDA then sell stock and fire and lay everyone off and take a magic marker and write new model numbers and names on the same products and when in trouble add more cores like amd phenom and bulldozer I have a meer 24GB system memory because corsair sold me dead memory purchased 32GB this ddr3 memory is now valued more than 200% its value today then back in 2013 so fixing and replacing is one really bad option for a relic that is already way to fast for this software to handle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqojCQg6mzM rest assured at corsair Q/A does not exist and no one not even a machine tested that garbage before corsair shipped it to retailers around the world selling any of it as premium garbage the last two video cards i had were nvidia evga 460, 780 both died within under a two year period within date of purchase or less they don't make em like they use to or maybe evga is just a really bad company nvidia 6800gs by bfg lasted for forever and wouldn't die https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_Technologies the exaggeration when people cannot fully utilize something is a bit ridiculous i see 3k 9k https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volta_(microarchitecture) the 3k ones a consumer card as they are labeled under (microarchitecture) asking for a simple update to a decrepit slider wasn't asking for much nor the update to decrepit presets picked randomly out of a hat
  11. How so? complexity was added after I had bought and purchased everything this softwares like https://store.steampowered.com/earlyaccessfaq/
  12. I am so confused. it wasn't even a thought in my mind. and a nobody saying no I didn't get the job like what? it's like walking into a pizza parlor to order a pizza and them saying sorry you didn't get the job when all I wanted to do was order a pizza. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijgdXDmhqE
  13. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/31077 some of these items are listing 84,505 complexity per item maybe that is a bit because i cannot see it, half of the avatar items do not list complexity base items and huds etc if I take off all jewelry and accessories complexity is 161,700 minus hair a bald avatar hair was 308,447 complexity tough finding good quality hair that doesn't look like it was used as a custodians mop 1 outfit 636,354 complexity varies a little but most are roughly around that at the moment one million complexity gives room to grow whereas now it is unlimited or nothing does 350 complexity support that? if linden labs wants to return all purchases for the broken update i am fine with the update every time I return to second life I guess complexity spikes higher and higher with the new items that are released by creators / modders second life's based on what modders make not what linden labs makes what product did anyone buy from linden labs besides the coins currency and land if I have to go back to a basic default avatar because of updates I should be refunded all purchases from the beginning to the end
  14. unfamiliar with didn't know about until now https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/beta_testing bit excessive typically reserved for unreleased software video games etc?
  15. firestorm needs a beta directory like linden labs has http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers
  16. how was the performance of that new feature? how was ram utilization? how much memory did you see it use on each predefined graphics preset? can you give a review of what you liked and disliked about it and how it ran? what video card do you have and use when testing that feature and presets?
  17. well if you insist it would be nice to see bandwidth scale update from dial up and fax modems to high speed internet 10,000 - 50,000 and above would be a good start not only is second life like a video game but it also has media player built in streaming content from like internet like youtube etc i noticed that last 3rd party viewer i downloaded supported 10,000 kokua? Is 3 Mbps fast enough for streaming? A good comparison tool is Netflix. According to the site, to view movie or TV-length videos, 3 Mbps of download speed is recommended for DVD quality. To reach higher HD quality, you'd need to look at speeds of 5 to 7 Mbps. https://www.google.ca/search?q=3+megabytes&oq=3+megabytes&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l6.3631j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 anything would be an improvement over the 1990's 3 megabytes netflix recommends https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306 Internet Connection Speed Recommendations Below are the internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing TV shows and movies through Netflix. 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
  18. Second Life - Avatar Complexity limiter in a nutshell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krRFlzwnw3U
  19. when that update was released it broke my avatars and friends avatars and made using second life a pita to use for almost everyone with quality avatars as you always have to use unlimited or only use avatars that second life launched with decades ago, you would think the max preset would help or be useful but it sucks and is worthless trash, you always have to use unlimited because no research RND was done in design numbers were randomly picked out of a hat ultra is not ultra complexity is for better visuals the update was done after microtransactions i am willing to accept a complete refund for all microtransactions on account in favour of the update but they would never refund microtransactions
  20. Published on May 18, 2016 Can you update the ultra preset to something useful and beneficial like 1,000,000 Complexity
  21. all quotes This is the latest build of the Animesh release viewer. 6.0.0 (520636) http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/6.0.0.520636 http://hg.phoenixviewer.com/phoenix-firestorm-lgpl/rev/384fbecbf832 kinda sounds like it was added already two days ago?
  22. will there be a slider? http://hg.phoenixviewer.com/phoenix-firestorm-lgpl/rev/4750d36f9ee5 it looks like a easy change from current 2048 to 16384
