A confession from a concerned user about this project's future #176

Open CitricTabby opened 4 months ago

CitricTabby commented 4 months ago

I have been a loyal user of NVIDIA Profile Inspector for several years as I currently use a rare-but-reliable dual-slot Inno3D RTX 4070 Ti GPU I purchased online last year from a foreign retailer in my home-built gaming workstation PC. (Full disclosure, I am American.)

As it has been almost a year since the last stable release was released for download, I would like to know why this app has been hardly worked on development wise on GitHub.

As I am not a programmer in the first place; rather, a PC hardware enthusiast with a rich computer history dating back to my childhood in the past three decades, I am very concerned that this project has not seen any major commitments to at least a public preview release or even a full-blown stable kind.

Please tell me the truth of the state of this project's progress, as I honestly don't want to use the generic NVIDIA control panel app for what I can do on this project's app.

PS: can you please add dark mode to a future release of this app for this project? The default white background is too eye-straining for everyday use in this day and age.

Thanks, and keep up the great work on this project's app!

The radio silence from this project makes me believe it is done for sadly, which is really sad.

I'd say we should bring this to the attention to Orbmu2k so he/she can look into it. What do you say?

For the record I'm not a programmer in the first place, I'm just someone who loves to use open source apps on GitHub and post suggestions on them to make them better for everyone.

I forked it, will add various features, already added some settings and made a release. Feel free to contribute, I will build releases now and then until Orbmu2k returns or I no longer have an Nvidia card.

For the record, I don't have any programming skills but at least I can handle computer hardware and software very well enough. Will that do?

AnubyteCode commented 1 month ago

You could easily add to the research or descriptions of settings, if nothing else. I’m no pro, but it’s a simple enough project to at least expose more options and integrate things others have added.

I didn’t see any other forks that were active and building releases, so I’m doing it to learn and contribute to something useful. I’m exploring possible dark mode options at the moment, will look into the improved searching another user has done shortly.

If I had to make a recommendation it would be searching the boards with AA compatibility flags and testing any similar either in engine, middleware, or presentation. There is also the idea of trying a Vulcan overlay.

I know one game I play needs gamma corrections on when there is FOS. Sometimes strange settings work.

So they are finally retiring that game? One final completely legitimate download and I never have to do it again.

@.***(https://github.com/AnubyteCode) I'm not sure if it's possible for you since I'm not entirely familiar with all the works but is there a chance maybe the new version of The Sims 4 could be added? There is a new file "TS4_DX9_x64.exe" as of the last update the game receiving. It seems the anti-aliasing fix I was using stopped working after they updated.
