Seems very logical since it's a Dutch tradition, and New York was founded by the Dutch. New Amsterdam at that time.

I was just making sure. From what knowledgeable people tell, that series of drivers can't be modded due to the fact that 3050ti's BIOS recognition model is missing from the driver files. Inf modding won't help.

Most likely, yes.

To the current date, no such driver exists.

Why they sent you their German version notification, then? Probably you used a VPN located in Germany?

I shouldn't trust Brave these days. I discovered it requests "GetFirmwareType", GetFirmwareType - "Retrieves the firmware type of the local computer". https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-getfirmwaretype Why would a browser that declares itself "privacy oriented" want to know your exact firmware? Yes, it's for only one purpose, to bind your account to the PC you're on. More and more sophisticated tracking.

Hadn't Supermium declare itself portable? It would then be able to hook up with it from its root folder.

You're indeed a very lucky one! Many users report the spiking issues, esp. when using browsers, so it's not only Supermium, but I thought win32 would be able to somehow fix the issue. "I'm having the same issue with a 3070. Spikes to max all the time while idling or browsing the internet." https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/user/747572/

I suppose you did it through the Device manager? Cause if no, the nVidia install makes the lock.

Did you enable the flag from @D.Draker's guidance topic? Need at least Firefox Nightly 2024-01-18+ https://msfn.org/board/topic/186026-further-encrypting-firefox-traffic-with-hybrid-kyber-kem-which-they-claim-to-be-more-secure/

Hey, I thought it was a Dutch tradition!

Yes, 3070-3080 would be more future proof, besides having the drivers.

No prob., so you tried to add the device ID to the driver I gave? Well, indeed very sad, then.

Try this one - original mobile driver. https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/197673/en-us/

Simple (without the "Ti") GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU - should work.

This driver is from the same old R470 batch, it's just security crap they added to make it look like it's new. R470 batch is very old, it was released before the said GPU even existed.

Is this the card model, if so, I'm afraid you're outta luck. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3050-ti-mobile.c3778

Then try this - start Supermium with HW acceleration already switched on in advance, click play video, look at the voltage spike.

Thanks, I think I already wrote I do it via CMD with flags, when you asked me which flags I use. Philips has brilliant, amazing colours, very natural. I enjoy British shows with David Attenborough.

Here we can observe confirmations from multiple users: "45 seconds to start up Supermium..." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/358 Like I said, this doesn't happen to me with Ungooggled. For me, it's not 45 seconds, but more like several seconds vs milliseconds in Ungoogled, still very high, especially if we consider the fact Supermium "greets" me with a blank white screen (despite the dark theme currently forced on), and it stays unresponsive for like 7-10 seconds. With extensions it'd be much, much longer.

Yes, but it's with every browser that has video acceleration switched on, not only Supermium. It's the joy I wouldn't want to get rid of yet, Like I said, I don't watch videos in browsers, I have a huge Philips TV for that purpose.

Well, I tried uBlock 1.54, and I wasn't happy with its slow performance at all, frankly I'm disappointed. In the end, it glitched out for me completely, leaving the lists' page totally empty.

A fair guess is to assume Supermium already includes the kernel mod within the non-disclosed, close source parts, like progwrp.dll, for example.

1. No, we got a very cheap, green electricity, here in Holland, I'm more concerned with the unnecessary wear and log waiting times each start brings. 2. The same idi*otic voltage spikes each start brings, why would a browser need to bring my gpu to the full clocking state each start? Then it of course settles down, but it's simply not helping to let it survive longer.

I don't understand the question. I have a fast HDD - Raptor, a very old GTX titan (produced: Januray 2013).
