Getting Riff-Raff as my first joker activates all my dopamine receptors.

I never bought Riff Raff LOL
I got it from a Buffoon pack, but it’s still worth buying because it pays for itself. You get 2 jokers that are worth 1-2 dollars each, you can sell them if they’re not worth keeping and you can even get jokers like Egg and Mail-In-Rebate that gain you tons of money.
It’s a life saver in ante 1-2
Slightly OT, but my laptop sounds like a jet engine when I play Balatro. It’s a 2021 Precision 5650 (lightweight CAD workstation) with a Quattro GPU and integrated graphics. Power consumption roughly doubles and both my gpus are around ~40%. I have all settings to minimum.
Same thing with many other games I’d think would be not too demanding. Thronefall, polybridge 2, etc
Enable vsync
Yep Turn on VSYNC becuase Balatro FPS goes up to 500 to 1000 FPS even on Potato LOL
Thanks for the tip. I just looked and I have vsync on. On my desktop machine, it uses about 10% gpu with vsync on and 40% with vsync off. On my laptop, it’s about 40% regardless of the setting.
C’est la vie
Update: turning on vsync in Nvidia control panel did the trick, now gpu is at ~10% on my laptop. Strange to me that it overrides the application settings but i guess I’m just getting out of touch with tech stuff
One more update: I checked back later and vsync was off again. I had set it to “on” in Nvidia control panel, and after some time doing other things (not a reboot) I started Balatro and it was using a lot of GPU again - Nvidia control panel reverted to the “off” setting.
There are various reports of other utilities taking over vsync and other graphics settings (a big one is f.lux but I don’t have thaty installed). I think that Dell Optimizer’s “Applications” settings might have reset it, so I turned that function off (that is one difference between my Dell laptop and my homebuilt desktop). So far so good.
Interesting. I guess their vsync implementation doesn’t work on Nvidia GPUs.
You should repaste your CPU. It will reduce heating.
I would have imagine it could be played on a web browser.
