Haven't seen if it's green for me yet or not. Such a nightmare getting a new video card working properly. Finally decided to retire the venerable RX480 and dropped a bunch of moolah on an RX 6700 XT. Boy, was it a stuttery mess. I've spent two days on it, finally got it working. Complete reset of BIOS, chipset drivers, total clean of all old graphics driver files, and so on. Not running the AMD software -- just installed the driver. I'll control fans through Afterburner.
Sad thing is there's very little improvement to frame rates despite the years and generational capability differences, even in titles that had struggled (e.g. Frontier Pilot Simulator is still a struggle to get over 60 fps even with all my graphics settings the same). I have turned some things up in rF2 but can't quite go to max without it dropping well below my 144 Hz monitor's rate. But the bothersome corner at Watkins Glen is staying above 100 fps now whereas it had been dropping into the 60s during that event, so there is some improvement to be had. I'll have to see what Monaco does. Hopefully get a chance to do some practice tomorrow or Saturday.
