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?
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
