Is there anything that can be done with ambient light keyframing?
probably. i personally am not super fond of tweaking that
i might mess with color but idk
ambient lighting should be relatively static imo
but never hurts having the option to tweak it
lemme set up a small demo to show why im not fond of it
imagine youre caving right, and then as the time changes it just... gets darker in the cave
theres no generic cave biome either so you cant just make a lighting config that voids this for caves
That was my thought too. I just didn't know if there was an angle I was missing
like yea ambient lighting isnt realistic by any means but it could be a visual annoyance/hinderance
But speaking of lighting, it's weird that glow lichen is still pretty bright with static lighting, while other blocks like single candles are darker now
idk it may be some kind of like thing with exposure maybe
cuz i notice the glow lichen in my pack is pretty dark if the ambient lighting is brighter but the moment it drops off glow lichen gets really bright
oh hey a light leak
actually no
thats blocklight
welp
Maybe they have to adjust it then
I just linked you to the resources.
Wait so we can animate sky light intensity but not color?
apparently
idk why the skylight color is controlled by the sky color set in the client biome. imo should be set by the sky option in the lighting file
Aww, that would've been the most useful data driving feature.
It was technically possible to achieve the effect of animated sky intensity before, by animating other values at the same time in sync, like sunlight and atmosphere. We use this for VV in a&s, but it has a downside of darkening reflections.
finally i can make shadow dark while keeping moon illuminance around 1.0-3.0 at night
If I recall isnt that in atmospherics which is via server-graphics?
Doesn't look like it's there
To clarify, I'm talking about sky intensity field in lighting json and sky color in client biome json
Ah we're thinking of different sky colour.
I was thinking of zenith and horizon https://stirante.com/script/server-graphics/1.0.0-beta.1.26.0-preview.26/classes/Atmospherics.html#setskyhorizoncolor

This is a huge improvement
the decayed team also made an official port of cwsm didn't they?
What the heck is that
it appears to be a decapitated baby sheep
This preview have broken my rtx resource pack
(Those are baby cats)
I didn't really explore preview features, so idk what's wrong
Well, yeah
I fixed that
And that
I've fixed other mobs. So yeah, now my rtx resource pack should work fine with the latest game drop.
Welcome to the new preview.
Some chikens I've spawned had black wings for some reason. I tried to fix that
First pic looks so fucking good
thats what im saying. keyframed skylight does help so much
Hi
You said my name
🤦
Tazo & his team, made decayed reality + CWSM:BP. the latter, is a direct port of CWSM. albeit extremely broken even when it released.
how to make guys a custom block supports vibrant visual lighting like torch or lantern
Check the pins.
ohh thanks i found it, sorry for repeated asking
Can anyone help me with my mers texture sets
Like they are not working for no reason at all
And I have others that work fine
Im going to explode
Check your texture name and on texture set
That is all I've been doing
Open a post then.

Lol, marketplace map
Somehow, some blocks have pbr. But fogs and other things doesn't work tho
love this change.
so good

What I hate the most is: when I have the ability to create a particularly dazzling effect, but I lack the inspiration to decide what to do with it.
Then, later on, I get inspired to work on something else, forcing me to start all over again from scratch.
I suffer from the same thing.
player shadow is gone
maybe it's VV and RTX parity
Humorous
They still need to add the floating hand in that case
Combining VV and RTX is in proccess lol.
One interesting thing I noticed in 2025. RTX now also has default (vanilla) pbr. That happens because vv and rtx both uses texture_set files to apply pbr to the texture. So, in vanill 1.21.90 resource pack mojang made pbr for vibrnt visuals, which was applyed to rtx.
But yes - using vv pbr isn't good in rtx. A lot of blocks in vv uses point lights, not emission. In RTX, only torches, lanterns, candles and end rod have point lights. They are still not 100% fixed tho. A lot of blocks just wouldn't glow if you use vv pbr for rtx.
Does it appear when you are in the third person mode?
yes
that sounds amazing but emissive blocks probably barley glow
VV slowly becomes RTX lol
Not really. For example: lava is not glowing at all, portals aren't glowing at all, etc.
But lava looks a bit weird with default vv imo.
But some of them are
I think that's what she's saying
Anyway, now we can get the "half-working official rtx pack".
oh bruh
not again 
Yeah, agaain!! Vv is one step closer to rtx.)
finally per-biome settings in editor
I forgot about this, what does the toggle biomes by location do?
shows which biome you are in
Oh...that's fine I guess. It doesn't show cave bimoes and the surface biome at the same time? I thought at least it would TP you to the nearest.
does the nether still nearly crash with the static lights toggle on for everyone
Looks like a buggy mess tbh
that's good!
Wait.
Someone doesn't read the changelogs.
i read only vv changes
I cast no VV changes for 3 months.

i did now
still don't get it
They reverted everything back to JSON UI so they can slowly roll out to everyone the new full OreUI settings screen.
OOOH

RTX
I don't remember what fog colour were I using, it looks like pink mixed with orange at some point.
so im using someone elses pack but i still would like to fix this issue. 1 their water for sone reason turns a greenish color. 2 all water reflections are in high detail OTHER from the players. can anyone help me? (sorry if this is the wrong area to ask)
Ahh discord doesn't know about britich english which I am learning
RTX?
no pbr. when player turn on vv the water looks fine but otherwise when it's off looks green
aswell as the player reflections being more pixelated in water
Idk then, i don't use vv
I think they're flying
never did for me
I get that error all the time. too much is trained to American english
I'm not sure anyone knows about "britich" english
Agreed, it's so annoying to have realised corrected to realized
I prefer using British X American english. I say "lift" instead of elevator, and more. How ever, I usually say "color" instead of "colour", cause im lazy
Do you say airplane rather than aeroplane?
I never said this word in my entire life.
Or typed tho
Because English isn't national language of my country, or that isn't my general lang.
ai. is ae Australian? lmao
"ae" is not Australian, it is just how the word Aeroplane is originally spelt. Americans spell it with an ai instead, but that's not how it's spelt in british english. (Sorry for getting off topic, I'll stop now)
Interesting.
I was taught colour but also airplane.
Z =
“Zed” rather than “Zee”.
#canada
Yeah that's weird, canadian english lol
I have it now 
i like the new ui
Aww, my eyes are hurt: I see vv graphics mode turned on
Same
ofc it on
i always use best graphics mode
Me too, I always use the best graphics mode tho. Rtx
you use the best graphics mode or you use rtx, pick one
both of these in one sentence make no sense
The best graphics mode is rtx
Yeah, sureee

the best graphics mode is Virant Visuals with SSAO and refraction
show me rtx entity and item pbr
Nooo💔
pretty good tbh
i'd add more depth to the parts inside the ring personally
I don't think this part should go inward
because it makes it look like a ring and not a block with a hole in the middle
Is there a way to make every biome’s ambience look like that of one specific one that I like?
more detail: I hate the way cold biomes look in vibrant visuals, the pale blue hue is horrendous, but I do like the warm orangey tone of certain biomes. Can I copy and paste this type that I like onto EVERY other biome so the entire world looks the same (in terms of vibrant visuals)
You can set the color grading and lighting and atmosphere files that are used within the client biome files
So for those cold biomes for example, change the color grading file identifier to the one you wanted to use
I can't get on my pc right now to show what I mean
It's very easy yea
I love how glass changes the colour of the light
My favorite screenshot tho.
blue
BlUe
Blue sky
Need that for VV, too
Naww, rtx onlyy
It should be possible for Mojang to implement something similar for VV
Yeah, because all it is interacting with glass and that glass changing the output colour
i assume the issue with doing it in VV is partially that if they do it, they kind of have to do it for all 3 light types.
static light, point light and global light
Yeah, probably
idk which one would be harder tbh. I assume global light is easiest.
And it would inevitably cause more performance issues
because that's calculated once. but idk how difficult it'd be to get it to actually work.
if global light is doable then point lights would maybe not be that bad, except you have to then solve a larger performance concern because now every single point light has this other thing to deal with.
static light, i've seen it work great in java shaders with no performance downside, but it may be difficult to get it to work properly?
idk really
Pointlights would be hell, it would make the game unplayable for many low end mobile players
RTX is truly the best.
Almost don’t even care about VV anymore lol.
They both have their ups and downs but VV imo is more enjoyable to work with.
RTX is sucks and quadriplegic
VV is constantly updating all kinds of api and is thriving. Its only drawback is that vv doesn't support ray tracing.
when could vv support ray-tracing
when RTX 2.0
when, mojang, when

can we make a vote on feedback.minecraft.com ?
I disagree, RTX doesn't suck, it just isn't being updated or worked on atm.
Yeah, me personally I love the way RTX looks, but it's only supported on higher-end hardware. Plus as a mostly multi-player person, I have friends who can only use VV, so I usually make the maps more towards VV just because it's more supported
I disagree. Rtx looks beautiful, even with those limits.
Yeah. Vv has more features (entity pbr, items PBR, particles, water waves), but rtx just looks cooler imo.
I prefer the rtx sky box but that's just because it's more realistic
Rtx doesn't have the skybox basically.
I still don't understand why don't they allow to change the sky in rtx using a resource pack. We can change other textures tho.
For example, we can change vv sun iirc?
But what about rtx sky
Ofc it does
It literally has low res png skybox image
Yeah it does, and it looks pretty nice too, the sky simulation is rather realistic imo
It is not a skybox
No it doesn't.
It is the sky, it has the sky texture, but it's not a skybox.
How do you suggest gradients are created and adjusted?
Sky texture.
Skybox is a cube - box made of 6 textures.
And this just smoothly changes throught the time?
That's how
Oh, damn got me fooled, it looks cool anyways, how does brtx change it though?
It makes sky ray-leight.
So if you are using brtx sky with ray light sky, the sky texture doesn't matter.
The sky looks good anyways
We can change it, but not due a resource pack.
yea thats the reason i think it sucks
microsoft and nvidia give up it, or they never wanna complete it
They still fixes bugs, and even old ones. That basically means it's not dead complete.
3 bugs are fixed 1.20.130-26.0.27
yea I mean from the api perspective
That's just really limited. Some mods like better rtx clearly shows that they could give more access to the shader, add more features if they wanted to.
Even right now, there are some textures in ray_tracing folder that can be changed in game files. Sky texture, water maps (including normal map).
Well, those fixes were small.
First of all, they almost fixed point lights that got broken on 1.21.120.
Then, they fixed the bug when screenshots made with rtx weren't rendered correctly.
After all, they (maybe) fixed bug with textures... I don't really remember what they have fixed.
i'd vote for that tbh 😭
I wonder what would happen with rtx if moajng add the new dimension
How would it look like

💙
so cute
am i ?
thank you.

im cryin
Looks like a roblox game tbh
It looks too flat imo
And it has something like a cartoon style, isn't it?
Hello, I made it by drawing manually, it is very natural if it looks like a cartoon style, to overcome this, I have made 2 different wood patterns so that it can be called realistic.
just someone skill issue
Ehem, Hi
I mean everything looks flat at some point. It should be flat, but normal maps are made to make surface look better. Also, I don't like trees. For example, leaves have some kind of outline, idk how to explain it. It looks like they don't have to have this cube blockshape.
I am sorry for my English, im terrible at writing this kind of text using this lang.
Also I don't really like grass block, I don't know why.
hi
Unclear reason. Definitely not accepted by the creator
fr
i'll say that SKILL ISSUE
everybody have different taste but it seems someone just want to others have to make they/ them please
||-# "From someone whose work is hardly groundbreaking" 🤡🗣️||
Looks we have different tastes tho
Did i ask?
meow
woof!
Why are you being toxic?
Did it?
Wdym "did it?"?
He’s a child.
Immature kids tend to be like that.
“He/They” also says a lot….
I understand their reaction tho at some point, but it's not comfortable for me to hear something like "Did I ask?". Well, I also don't like to call ppl kids or smth like that i think
I don’t understand it, unless they’re simply just trying to be an a-hole - then their responses make perfect sense.
Also like 90% sure that person IS a literal child.
"Did I ask?" is a comfortable way to stop conversation at some point
gotta be a child.
didnt you just call them toxic for it though
Yesss
...
Don't use the pack, problem solved
Yeah
I... I just don't want to argue with anybody tho.
???
having things like that on internet profiles etc. just doesn't make any real sense. What real reason is there for it when 1- in any normal interaction nobody else actually cares. and 2. if they miss communicate your gender, like anyone - you give a correction. it just screams i need attention imo.
Discord made a whole pronoun section so people don't have to correct people...
Even though the guy isnt really polite, the thing about "He/They" is irrelevant

where's ours then?
you opt-in. so people who WANT OTHERS to know, can...
but again - do (normal) people really care what you identify as? no. so why parade it
just my opinion 🤷♂️
I don't see who was parading it, I'm just saying that your point about having "Him/They" in their profile is irrelevant
discord/people who set it, are parading it in a sense. it's a choice to make others see what you identify as. i dont go around with a sign on my back saying he/him. its the same idea whether its online or not.
its just weird imo
Thats the thing, it's not really them holding a sign, you have to actively click on their profile to see it. Same sense if you have an "about me"
hence the "discord/people" in the last message. Discord chooses to put it directly beside the persons name as if its just as important.
which is even more weird but hey 🤷♂️
well, its not, you are thinking of discrimination of gender identity
throwing around the word homophobia like its a synonym of discrimination
Ty for correction 
but yeah, I agree, there's like no point to make that comment here really, its not related to what just happened
speaking of relation, this is the graphics channel lol
say what?
lets not continue
i understand
that's person also made me feel not comfortable before but for now i'll give up and don't remind again
thats just life
alright
its a personal opinion on how people treat gender identity. there was no discrimination.
i see!
but he/they just my pronous
im correcting them on what they thought, not what I thought.
just clarifying.
alr
😇



I didn't know bananas are ray traced cats.
Anyway, Allstate couldn't repair my RTX 3080, so they're giving my money back and I'm going to buy another one.
The prices may have gone up by $25 since a month ago, but I will do whatever I can to play all of the games I've wanted to play for a very long time, like Portal RTX, Half Life 2 RTX, Black Mesa RTX, and many other games where my RTX 3050 doesn't meet the minimum requirements.
Why did this guy get deleted? What did bro do other than feed a cheeseburger to his cat?
When did you get here? And why?
2 days ago and because this server showed up in ICYMI
I check ICYMI every once and a while

Dead chat

hi ThatsDrDog
Was it necessary to respond to a message for 3 years ago
With a ping no less
bliss
I love rtx
i love vv with ssao and non-aggressive auto exposure.
Same
who doesn't like RTX is the real question
I mean, is it not arguably almost as important?
Most of the time you refer to someone, you do so with pronouns. Both the name and pronouns serve the role of referring to someone.
The name is more important because it's specific, but pronouns are used more often
Even more so in languages with gendered "you"
Personally, no. It definitely happens at some point - but online, I just use non gender specific ways to refer to people. ex. online name/alias or just "them" for example.
I don't speak anything but english so I don't hurt my brain w that nonsense lol
french in school was hell 😩
Fair enough i guess. Still, a lot of people do use he or she when referring to someone, so having a way to see which to use is convenient.
Or if you should use they/them for someone.
this is part of why i don't agree with the labeling. we already have ways to communicate without falsely assuming ones gender. it seems so pointless
but 🤷♂️
😇
Let's be cool, chill, and don't annoy ech other!
🫃 of cource

-# and i have never annoyed if don't have reasons
chill like a cat

Pat a cat
me
i get worse fps in rtx compare to vv
i hate it

thanks for ur advice

I get the opposite 😂 ...
i get barely 60 fps with rtx ;_;
what!? don't you have a 40 series ??
TF 😭 must be a pc issue like my problem with VV. my ram isn't set up proper in bios.
whats insane right
but it works fine with vv, i get 170 fps
is while i was helping her figure it out.. or well trying to. we found my 5060 laptop runs rtx about as good 😭
idk what is going on with the 50 series but its so cooked in rtx
I peak 120 @ 1080p. 70 @ 1440. but VV doesn't go higher than 50. even with 50% resolution scale.
and every other games works like charm too, it's just bedrock only with rtx is weird
genuinely insane
thats a bit odd. although what gpu you got
on rtx 3060 it i was getting 30fps more on rtx compare to vv
3070TI.
on my desktop rig its actually very neck and neck with rtx and vv
rtx averages about 130fps at 1440p and vv anywhere from 90-180fps
yes vv is that inconsistent
and vv there is on ultra settings at 1440p with 75% res
the 5060 laptop gpu without dlss btw
at 1600p
with dlss same res
My RTX fps should be a bit higher but my ram is set to dimm & running @ 2133mhz. + my cpu is choking on 90 degree heat.... 😅
yea i forgot to alt+print screen leave me be
probably why vv does so bad
oh yea thats a crazy ram speed issue for sure
mine is 3600mhz
idk what my ram clocks on the laptop are. i just know its DDR5
mine is supposed to be 😅 32g ddr4 @3200mhz
W.
im gonna test out the laptop in extreme mode
see what happens
alright tbh its not much faster at least in rt
1080vs1440 with 24 chunk render
blue arm is 1440
peak insanely low gpu utilization
i need to fix my ram speeds asap lol
rat racing real
im still working on some custom power limits and fan curves to help the cpu not implode itself but
I just need to repaste my cpu. gpu aswell - but my fan settings are more than enough for now. almost always 30-40 degrees C.
This is often due to laptops thermal throttling too much, I suggest undervolting your CPU using ThrottleStop, this will improve performance by reducing voltage to your cpu and therefore heat build up as well
Some laptops don't support it though. Also another benefit of undervolting is more battery life
its not throttling tho
it just gets hot
i mean this laptop has a 16 core cpu in it
that can boost to 5.4ghz
Still, undervolting is really good for the laptop, battery and cpu
I get 120 FPS with a 3080, something's wrong with your PC
Did you check if you're using integrated graphics?
Is DLSS on?
XMP enabled?
Debloated?
Cable managed?
Unbottlenecked?
Can the PSU handle your 5090?
What's your CPU model?
Is your BIOS up to date?
What's your OS?
What tasks run on startup?
How many Chrome tabs are open?
Do you have the latest drivers?
Latest hardware?
CPU bottleneck?

RAM bottleneck?
SSD bottleneck?
PSU bottleneck?
What's your motherboard and BIOS version?
Are the cables genuine?
Is it even a real RTX 5090?
Did you check GPU-Z?
CPU-Z?
Are you using V-Sync?
G-Sync?
Freesync?
VRR?
What's your monitor's resolution?
Refresh rate?
Bandwidth?
Bottleneck bottleneck?
bro 😂
dont go to the nether apparently
i have been below 1 frame for like 3 solid minutes
Impossible.
You have more frame sthan me!
vanilla vv?
what'd you do😂
NOTHING I JUST WENT THERE 😭
lemme try without my pack
cuz i did add a bunch of point lights
maybe thats the issue
cuz full blocks can cast shadows now
im shocked this is possible
cuz mojang said it wasnt
if you did lava/shroomlight then yes
i blame the glowstone
idk why this would cause issues tho
point lights are now culled based on importance
so the fact theres issues with this is wild
this is why colored lighting is preview only 😂
I knew it would come eventually esp after aajabrams mentioning a method for grouped, full blocks casting shadows.
Are you telling me that the Nether is way more GPU intensive than the overworld now? Because my RTX 3080 gets 120 FPS in the overworld, but I haven't gone to the Nether in a while, other than 2 months ago when I was grinding for Ancient Debris on my RTX 3050 in Survival mode. And back then it ran at the same performance as the overworld.
What
no its not. its a bug with vibrant visuals
no, its the opposite
and i did some silly stuff
yea default vv is ok
its the glowstone bro i swear
or is it the fire
cuz i added fire point lights too

im gonna slowly remove point lights till its playable
probably. ik lava does, not fires. can't wait to see if this was intentional
Narrator: "He ended up removing all point lights"
real
ok i removed magma blocks, fire and soul fire
if it STILL dies
screw you glowstone
i do hope this performance gets fixed especially since full blocks can cast shadows now
ohhh magma blocks too 😂
like i legit see no reason not to use point lights now
the reason before was no shadows on full blocks but
with just glowstone active its playable
definitely changing up my .json. i'll probably do all light blocks that have minimal natural spawn
ex. copper bulb.
so shadows just uh... dont seem to work in the nether?
let me remove glowstone and see if that does anything
I wonder what was causing your issue, & why then
nope doesnt matter
works fine out of there tho
i also love that point lights affect SSS
so your low fps isnt because of point light shadows being calculated - but something more specific
the low fps seems to still be caused by insane numbers of point lights in the scene
the game seems to still calculate them despite the fact they cant be seen
which is definitely a critical mistake within the whole new importance sampling
because with the new tech only about like 9 or so lights can be seen at once
which should NOT cause 0.1fps moments unless all those lights are still calculated
lava should be usable now but its not
mmm fog through leaves
damn that range is pretty far
Please don't
We need point lights
using tinted glass to remove the static lighting. this is so awesome
Is this point lights?
yea
Just give everything that emits light point lights at this point
Everything needs point lights
A drawing I drew in 30 seconds explaining why point lights are important
I couldn't find my stylus btw, so that's why this drawing looks like hot garbage, but you get the idea
Point lights are very important
i dont know what youre trying to prove here
Hot garbage is an understatement, that looks worse than my drawings!
because again you cannot make everything is a point lgiht because the game literally implodes itself
please read like 2 seconds of the conversation
sorry that came off rude
while yes having every block be able to use a point light generally what we'd want to work for, the current system cannot handle it at all
as shown by the lovely 0.1 fps
Mojank fixed point lights yet there's no performance hit compared to when they were broken
we are NOT talking about rtx man
As an RTX 3080 owner, point lights have no impact
this is why i say please read
this talk is about vibrant visuals NOT RTX
this entire conversation has not once had anything to do with raytracing. this talk has been about VVs experimental point lights
💀
thats insane
My drawings are 100x better when I am using my stylus and I'm not rushing to make a point that point lights are important within a short period of time
yes fix the nether
i wanna experience the staticness there
wtf is this dude doing
catlight alt
Would I be able to use rtx and get 170 fps with vv?
Yes
What even is that
It’s good
No bottlenecks
Yes
I don’t remember but it was good
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Yes. My integrated graphics suck and I don't use them but with them I can still get 5 FPS with RTX and 10 FPS with VV on Ultra settings.
No integrated graphics would give me 60 fps and let me use dlss
Makes your RAM run at faster speeds to reduce lag
Good point
And I would see on the top of a screen what gpu my game use
It’s 6000 mhz
I don't know why you're only getting 60 FPS with RTX then while my RTX 3080 is getting double that.
Idk if it’s fast but everything else works great
Who's we? If you can and want to, go ahead and make it. It's always great to have more options for shaders, but it's not that simple to make
Who's catlight
#1 rtx fan
lol
could be your issue if you legitimately dont know
is that what you bought - or what it is actually running at..
Dual-channel or single?
check Task manager - click "performance" then click "memory" to view RAM speeds and form factor
6200-6400 is average for ddr5 but there was also issues with dual channeling causing bottlenecks. and if XMP isnt enabled in Bios - your ram will be running half speed. (BIG issue for intensive gaming)
What I bought and what it is running
😭
Im not very good with PCs so my friend was putting together some parts and installing everything
sheesh. if your task manager is reporting the correct speeds - xmp should be enabled(?).. does it say XMP under your RAM speed?
if task manager says xmp - the only other thing I could imagine is an actual GPU issue - or maybe you're running too high resolution and incorrect dlss settings in Nvidia control panel
although automatic settings should be fine
If it was gpu issue other games would be effected too
true
And every other game I tested works like a charm with high fps
Even bedrock with vv works insanely good
It’s just bedrock with specifically rtx that I have issue with
Portal rtx in 4K gives me insanely good fps and it’s much more demanding than mcrtx
have you used ddu to uninstall drivers and do a fresh install and cleared shader cache?
or even updating MC dlss
try using betterRTX
I'm seeing similar issues on reddit - resolved this way with 5070-5080
I’ll try
it has update dlss option
i also saw one person claim it to be common in combination with AMD cpus. but who knows how true that is
no way
real
those 2d clouds moves, absolute cinema
0 bug waterfall
was fun while it lasted


Tried it, and got this instead
💀
No different?
Is there any ways to fix it?
DX11 fallback bug
Exit fullscreen, exit the game, relaunch the game, and re-enter fullscreen
Its on mobile not PC💀
Use Samsung DeX and do those steps
Mine too
Kinda sad about it
At least Allstate gave my money back
Actually specifically the RTX 3080 I bought from a sketchy seller, not the whole PC, but an important part of it
Anyway I'm buying a new one
i was trying a 1024x texture pack plus Shader
And i think my GTX 1660 Ti ddint appreciate it
And my RTX 3080 was smoothly running Portal RTX until it cut power and went into flames
Well that's a little big exaggerated but it did fry because that sketchy seller apparently didn't sell his RTX 3080 for the listed reason that he "doesn't want it anymore" but because of a Voltage Regulator Module defect
Not just the GPU, but the CPU, Motherboard, and SSD also got fried in the process😭
Now i use my Old PC which uses iGPU💀 (I no longer use shaders, jusr vanilla Minecraft)
My GPU was one step away from frying everything else but good thing that it cut power before preventing further damage
Now I use an RTX 3050 until I can upgrade again
Also I'm pretty sure that integrated graphics can run RTX, just at 5 FPS
Specifically AMD iGPUs
Mine is intel😭
Also, forget about RTX, its a PENTIUM 💀
why do you have a 3050?
Backup GPU
but why a 3050 lol
I needed a backup GPU and 85% of my life savings already went to the RTX 3080 from the sketchy seller
It literally lasted 24 hours
Good thing I bought an Allstate warranty
They said they're sending the money back but they haven't done it yet
So I'm waiting for my life savings to be returned by Allstate to buy an RTX 3080 that won't fail within 24 hours
1- 3050 is literal garbage. a 2060 out performs it.
2- Be careful buying second hand 😭
Wait my GTX 1660 Ti was Secondhand
oh & 2060 is same cost as 3050. atleast in my area
my 3070TI is second hand lol
nvm it got fried so I'll wait until i can buy new components
only issue is 1 of 3 fans rpms throttle unless I set fan speed over 50
1 fan of my GPU was not functioning well
it happens. sometimes it can be more serious and lead to failure
especially if heat isn't managed.
My second hand 3080 had one tiny 7200 RPM fan that sounded like a jet engine at all times but at least it stayed cool until the Voltage Regulator Module failed randomly and it was burning hot to the touch for hours
It might take some time for me to get new one cuz GPU prices have increased in my country
They've increased in my country by 33% since I bought my RTX 3080 secondhand about a month ago
1 small fan on the whole gpu? or just 1 fan having issues ?
Just 1 fan
In my country an RTX 3060 was like $329.99 but now its like $399.99
On the whole GPU. Also fun fact: Best Buy is selling a 1 fan RTX 4090 for $2000. Amazon is selling that same exact GPU for $3000
My 3080 was made by the same company that made that 4090
Well, yk how much does RAM costs?
In my country a 16 GB DDR5 5600MT/s stick costs like $179.99, and a 32 GB Stick is priced over $200
I was gonna get a zotac 3080ti. but 600$ wasn't in my budget. never touching a FE RTX card
I own 2x8GB 6400MHz RAM that's worth $300 now, but I'm not selling it
yeah, that was part of the problem
lol same here
I was gonna get a Gigabyte 5060 but i didn't have $800 (thats how much it costs now)
I saw that some 32 GB DDR5 6400MHz RAM was nearly $1000💀
It stayed consistently under 70 degrees celsius on max load until that VRM suddenly failed and within 30 seconds the 3080 went from perfectly functional and at cool temps to fried and so hot that I couldn't touch it
jeez. im not even gonna touch 50 series lol. i'll upgrade to 4070ti super then eventually move to AMD.
Lol don't buy from Amazon
after its price drops obvi
I was playing Portal RTX for several hours and that suddenly happened within 30 seconds so yeah probably not a fan problem
yea, because your memory was probably sitting at 80-90. my hot spot is 50
And my PC's memory (just before it fried) was at 96%
case & point.
No it was also 70
honestly i dont believe that
seems extremely unlikely considering
Yeah actually I don't know what it was before and after the VRM randomly failed
I just checked and saw that
RTX 4070 Ti super is priced at $1224.71
so expensive

mem is always hotter. even more so, the older the gpu & older the thermal pads
yeah, I would already have it but haven't had work
so im waiting for prices to drop unless i get steady work & can afford wasting over 1k on a damn gpu
Me too
Whatever
@limpid sequoia
Look at this
Unbound visuals
(I think its a stolen project cuz it looks like java's complementary unbound)
i think so
But wait
I recall seeing it as
"By Xiaocraft"
IT IS💀

always XiaoCraft
StoleCraft is better

💦
uh this reminds me of making a feedback post about snell's window in vv
what is wrong with vv snell's window?
can't see the sky
you can see things that are above water
yea i know.
I meant sky, not blocks above water
is that java or bedrock 😦
bedrock
38 materials (wtf) modified vv shader
trees look juicy
yea, i see the sss are better than normal vv
It is horrible.
You can barely see anything. It should be closer to RTX - crystal clear.
Also - no refraction. The horizon should be shrunk down and refracted into the snells window.
- true
- it's not ray traced so ofc it won't get super cool ray traced refraction
Can still be rasterized.
Subnautica does quite well with its snells window.
I haven’t played many games otherwise to notice snells. But it’s more than possible
does Subnautica have refraction that shrunk down horizon?
I’ll load up and double check.
I believe it does, slightly.
vv snell's window is really good snell's window, it just needs to be a bit more transparent and improved a little bit
yes.
its minor - but the offset of the ship is obvious
horizon is not shrunken down, it's just more wobbly
underwater, ship on bottom right shifts closer to the screen and snell. its not as significant of a horizon shrink as RTX - but it happens
clouds also shrink into the snell. notice less spacing between clouds
refraction is the big thing. but visibility/clarity is still a big issue with vv snell. you can't see anything unless near the water edge + a tree basically directly above.
and it also fades in visibility
how did you get the fluffy leaves? are you on java?
The water texture seems to need an improvement
yeah! i can tell
It's solid but does have issues. It doesn't really behave well with waves on for one. (Things on the smells window ignore SSR basically). It's fine with normals tho.
Underwater itself still has some huge issues
The fog is too intense still
And also underwater behaves entirely like vanilla despite there being an advanced scattering and absorption system above ground?
There is no extinction when in water but there is above water
maybe because VV isn't path traced
Wait I forgot to add an option that says we just need BetterVV
Also forgot an option "VV already looks better"
It's weird that we have no control over the water distance fog in VV
The need for a "better VV" is not necessary. VV is actually being developed
It's awesome Bambosan made mirai but it's gonna probably be hell to maintain cuz vv is actually in development
BetterRTX exists really only because RTX was abandoned and the code never changed at all
If you truly want a "better VV" just look at mirai shaders
There you go
Because let me tell you, VV pack creators are not the issue nor are mojang
VV looks fine 🤷♂️
exactly
no it doesnt
that looks like garbage
yet microslop gives more support to it than rtx
And this looks good???
rtx looks a million times better

I agree that RTX looks way better
But that image is not RTX
It's a clickbait thumbnail
That image looks really flat
With a giant fucking asterisk that says WITH BETTERRTX
Imo, VV looks more aesthetically pleasing
Reminds me of YSS SE
People have been so blinded by betterRTX
That is the ONLY reason RTX is saveable
AT ALL
A MOD
A MOD
bait used to be believable
IT'S MY ANARCHY SERVER
And this is the best part of it
I know what you said, but it doesn't stop it from looking like a GI test world
There's so much light that there's hardly any contrast
Except for my base
Tons of contrast there
Where the game blinds you for looking up
Because they made a simple mistake of not including the sky in auto exposure
Yes this is your "superior" RTX. Overexposed and flat
Mojank said that's an intentional feature called "blindness" and honestly it's better than when BetterRTX darkens everything when you look at the sun
And not to mention the water reflections being hot doodoo
Autoexposure sucks ngl
The tonemapper literally CRUSHES out surface details
I think I have more critisisms of your world than the lighting that's rendering it
That's called Generic Tonemapper, but most packs use AgX
That's not called generic
For example, CatRTX
You literally do not know what your saying
And no post packs do NOT use AGX
Idk where you got that metric from
CatRTX uses AgX
It doesn't
Yes it does
It does not bro
You do not have a clue what you're talking about
RTX packs can't even change tonemaps
That right there says it all man
@graceful iron prove my point here that CatRTX uses an AgX tonemapper
BROTHER

Is CatRTX just a texture pack?
Yes
You do know I've been in the bedrock graphics scene for 2 years now right
Then it has no way of modifying tonemapping
A raytracing texture pack cannot change tonemap
theres a lot of issues with rtx and less customisation but imo when it looks good it looks better than java shaders
Even if it was the mod, it uses ACES
The mod was ACES, the texture pack is AgX
texture packs can't modify tonemapping (for RTX)
This is not worth it anymore
Texture packs for RTX cant change the tonemapper...?
Correct
Yeah exactly
the only way CatRTX uses AgX is if RTX itself uses AgX
RTX by default doesn't exactly use a tonemapper. It's a simple clamp that's it.
Even if RTX itself uses AgX, that's still way better than the crappy ACES tonemapper that VV uses
Which it doesn't. There are two betterRTX presets that use AgX and he's not using either of them
VV by default doesn't use ACES
VV doesn't use ACES as a default
You can change it with packs
And even then texture pack makers can at least change that
But unfortunately not to AgX
VV uses a custom tonemap made by mojang by default
I don't know where you got the "VV uses aces" information from
So to recap, vanilla Minecraft has no AgX tonemapping
Did you get that from chatGPT 😭

I had to mod AgX into RTX and even then, if I'm being honest, it's not that great. It's solid but has the same issues as aces
I don't use ChatGPT anymore so yeah I don't fact check anything I say on Discord
So dying on this hill is a crazy thing man
rizz rizz ohio mango mustard 67
Bro tryna fit in
None without better RTX
With everything being said, I should clarify that I still like RTX
But VV packs have a lot more variety
I shall also clarify, I like RTX as well, but it has so many very obvious flaws and problems
Like this is butt ugly man. VV doesn't do this
Who is Toefish?
No clue
Oh wait
This is the guy who said 67 and burned himself in the firepit
Cool
(If you're not that active in the RTX server you'll have no idea what I just said)
That's your legacy now man.
What does this even mean?
Oh I read it as "Noa Ura"
There are some parts of VV that are definitely bland, but they are also equally bland in RTX so I don't get the point
The biggest example I can think of for both are weather
Weather is awful in both modes
also got banned from the minecraft rtx server 😭 🥀 💔 👌 💀 6️⃣ 7️⃣
You banned yourself 😭
Bro nobody want you fr
Which do you like more? VV end or RTX end?
I'm a VV end kinda guy
RTX
VV end is more interesting
However I don't like that there is no option of a static light source
If any game has RTX, I'll use it
I've played Fortnite RTX, Minecraft RTX, and Portal RTX so far
From a pure design standpoint RTXs end is well... it's nothing. It's just a sky with a sun
VVs at least has an interesting concept
What's interesting about RTX end? just curious
What do you like about it?
Looks good
How so?
None of those are pictures of the end
I'm talking about the end dimension
oops
And yet you wonder why you were banned
Do you happen to have an RTX pack to check the end with?
another thing I like about VV
plus i got a new phone and wanted to do some vv testing
its so smooth
oh my god
rtxs end is worse than i thought
this is awful
@tiny forum uhhh guys you might want to take a look at this
You pinged the wrong guy..
who are you pinging 😭
ive been so brained on betterRTX. i didnt realize defaultl rtxs end was this bad
image is sending hold on
How did you send a video but an image is taking so long?
@mild heart
for some reason while on my laptop and having a game running, sending images takes ages
videos too
i need to look into that
Makes sense
