I know this technically doesn’t really qualify as !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I figured if anybody on Lemmy would know, it’s you guys.
I have some old DVDs that never got a proper Blu-ray release. With all the fuzz about and the recent advancements in AI, what is the definitive best way to upscale to 1080p in 2023?
I upscaled some old porn movies using this, but my 2080ti started flickering afterwards. Probably better to use the free Google resources: https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x
Hehe, but the old myth that graphics cards degrade if you use them is a myth. I think Linus Tech Tips did a video on this and an older one. Sad that your GPU is flickering now, but probably unrelated and had happened either way at some point.
Yeah, it was probably a coincidence you’re right. So far I’ve not been able to justify the expense of something equivalent to the 2080ti. I just live with the flicker whenever I work on my Linux desktop. Which isn’t often, too much work and not enough brain.
If you have any interest in fixing the flicker, start by trying a different cable.
I didn’t know that could be an issue! I’ll see if I’ve got another displayport cable, thank you!
I’ve also once solved a flicker by resetting my CMOS and then doing DDU - chances are slim but it’s worth a shot along with the cable
Was it worth it?
