Dropped by Italdesign in Torino to check out their recently opened gallery and indulge in some of the amazing cars that Giorgetto Giuigiaro designed in his time as well as rare concepts that were so groundbraking in the long history the deign firm has.

everything they do is so interesting

sorry for asking a lot
but what do you guys think of Cepter Atilius 38" UWQHD+, i am aiming to get this, but i want to know from you guys who know a lot about monitors

real edge
sharp star
#

Neither have I, and that looks like a very non-standard res

hasty harbor
#

its a scandinavian company

sharp star
#

Interesting

lost python
#

24:10, in this day and age? wow

hasty harbor
real edge
#

that screen format is very unique so to say

#

I am unsure if you'll see support for it in games

#

24:10 is...

#

almost never seen

lost python
#

no mention who they got their panels from

hasty harbor
#

what ya mean rob

sharp star
hasty harbor
#

the monitor is 21:9

#

not 24:10

#

wait

#

which one is true

lost python
#

they have two models

#

the one you mentioned is 24:10

hasty harbor
#

thats weird, im checking the manual

#

maybe i took the wrong monitor, give me a sec

#

no its the same
maybe they forgot to update they site

#

maybe this is better

hasty harbor
#

oh is it ips and va thing?

lost python
#

no thats just the panel type, but not who made it

#

they dont say it on their website and nobody really talks about this screen at all, so its gonna be hard to find out

hasty harbor
#

smartpea
sorry im not very smart

#

thx nhadala

real edge
#

yea in my case id rather buy something that others had a lot of positive experiences with that I can actually read and see about, I tend to keep away from no-name obscure brands

#

unless I am on a strict budget

hasty harbor
lost python
#

how much is it anyway

hasty harbor
#

400
but i can pay monthlyfor 6 months without any extra cost

real edge
#

I have not kept up with the ultrawide market for some time but I know several websites I can search for you to point you in the right direction

#

400euro ultrawide....?

#

yea, stay away lol

sharp star
#

That sounds too good to be true

hasty harbor
#

usd
but its 3000kr

#

its not from they site, but a store where i saw it

real edge
#

are you dead set on getting an ultrawide?

hot shadow
#

tbf if you have to payment plan for a monitor it means you can't afford it

real edge
#

that budget isn't enough for a solid ultrawide

hot shadow
#

yea it isnt

hasty harbor
#

i can afford it fully
but i will be low on money this month and i already upgraded my pc with ryzen 7, new motherboard, ram and cooling tower

hot shadow
#

are you not happy with your current monitor? is it rly that bad

hasty harbor
#

id tell you a funny store about it

real edge
#

400$ is enough to get a good non-ultrawide display thats not oled

hot shadow
#

yes

hasty harbor
#

so
i had a acer montior that can go up too 165hz
it work pretty well for 3 years until this

#

sorry im finding the photo

real edge
#

are you willing to get a non-ultrawide?

hasty harbor
hot shadow
#

you can stay non-uwide life too it doesn't rly add much and btw a lot of your games will have weird quirks you have to figure out workarounds for sometimes, becuz of lack of support or opens weird

hasty harbor
#

this only happned when the room is getting cold
or lower than 25c

hot shadow
#

I would know because I have two

hasty harbor
#

or when the game im playing is dark

real edge
#

hasty harbor
#

try it
its the monitor

hot shadow

hasty harbor
#

i swich monitor with my old one and it didn't have a problem

you can't get a good ultrawide with 400 bucks

hot shadow

ya maybe you should save a few hundred first

#

no rush

#

your friends are causing you fomo

real edge
#

^

#

dont get that no-name shitty ultrawide

hot shadow
#

you are not missing out I promise, it's just Other Monitor Style that doesn't necessarily super wow you all the time

#

I only did it because I'm a fken asshole

#

in the beginning I had used some weird ass program just to make custom resolutions for certain games too, shit got rly weird

hasty harbor
#

i want something better than my 60hz

#

but fair

hot shadow
#

144hz is fine

hasty harbor
#

no i mean the monitor im using is 60
it can't go any higher

#

its a very old monitor
it does it job
but it so weird going from 144 which i had for years, to back to 60

hot shadow
#

it is weird

#

cause 60hz is caveman

#

it was already so last middecade

real edge
#

just get the Gigabyte M27QA , solid budget display

hasty harbor
#

this thing?

real edge
#

just make sure the name of the display on the store is

#

Gigabyte M27QA

#

idk how much it costs in the EU but it should be cheap

sharp star
#

The white one is slightly more expensive

#

As with all white-colored hardware

real edge
#

on german sites the Gigabyte M27QA is like 250euro

hasty harbor
#

ay

real edge
#

seems about right

#

link the store page here to make sure its the right one

hasty harbor
#

gonna be hard since its danish
seem like i can only order it

real edge
#

just copy paste the link from your address bar to here

hasty harbor
#

also i can buy Samsung Odyssey G9 G91F 49" Dual QHD and still pay it monthly
but that is super over kill and i don't have a desktop that can handle it

real edge
#

if your budget is 400$

#

theres no way u can afford the odyssey g9 lol

sharp star
#

Samsung consumer products kinda ass anyway

hasty harbor
#

i can actually
i will just barely have money by the end of it

sharp star

Ask us how we know

hot shadow

I recommend you beg your gf/bf for a birthday present

hasty harbor
real edge
#

get the budget gigabyte display and ull come out happier by the end

hot shadow
#

so large

hasty harbor
#

im not gonna get it, its too much, too big, too wide, not enough desktop space

real edge
#

with a lot less money spent

#

if ur gonna spend 1k on a display might as well get some OLED one

hasty harbor
#

i know, im screwing with ya
im not gonna get it

real edge

I've since learned I was happier buying a literal 24k gold ring or two than spend the same money on a monitor that just depreciates namazuconcern

hasty harbor

ive had my old asus TN for 10 years before I replaced it

sharp star
#

Okay but do you have a 24 karat gold Labub-

and it still worked fine lol

hot shadow
#

I don't like labubu that much!

sharp star
#

Yeah fuck Labubus

hot shadow
#

I still love my fuggler

#

I'm loyal

real edge
#

even oled displays have been cheaper these days

#

you can find one for 500-600$

#

but I do not trust that I won't get burnin so I am not getting one lol

#

my samsung odyssey g7 has been working perfectly fine so far

hasty harbor

what is the dif between g7 and g9 anyway
where 8

hot shadow
#

I know the pomapoo is

real edge
#

but I do not recommend samsung displays cause of the QC issues

#

apparently the one I bought that works fine is some unicorn from outer space

hasty harbor
#

QC issues?

real edge
#

quality control

hasty harbor
#

what monitors company should i look after

sharp star
#

Anything but Samsung

#

Hell, Dell makes great ones even

real edge
#

that is somewhat decently known

#

and whos product has some actual reviews

hot shadow
#

yea then you scroll down to the worst reviews to see what happened

#

also the middle reviews to see some honesty

real edge
#

tbh the g7 I bought is one of the best LCDs on the market when it works

#

deep blacks with no ghosting or black smearing

#

very low response times

#

im glad I bought it

hazy frost
#

Other companies use the same panel anyway without QC issues now

#

There’s more options

#

When I bought my monitor the only thing I could afford was the dell s2721dgf or gigabyte m27q there was basically nothing else good lol

hasty harbor
#

hear lg is pretty good

#

but i could be wrong

hot shadow

I wish I had a rock cutter friend

why is everyone into lame 3d printing

hasty harbor

these are the only one they sell
they pretty high up

real edge
hasty harbor
#

oh we do
but you gotta order it

real edge
#

thats bad?

sharp star
#

Better than nothing imo

hasty harbor
#

nope
but i rather see it in front of me than to order it

real edge
#

I have alternatives

#

but the QA is the best

#

even if u cant see it

#

on a budget at least

#

if you can, order it, but if u really do not want to

#

I can mention alternatives

#

just let me know

#

do you want alternatives?

hasty harbor
#

of course
the reason im going for a little bit higher price is than in order to get the monthly payment i have to buy something of 4k kr in total, which is around 550$
i can get a nord vpn and f secure for a year along side it, which is pretty dope
i can add things next to it to get the price up

#

i am indeed a fart smeller
or smart fella, idk

real edge
#

is the alternative

#

but get the Gigabyte if you can

My pc keeps shutting down more frequently now

Is it because of my gpu?

your gpu is missing its fan

what are its temps now

wild wyvern

if you already had issues with the pc shutting down

and now its more frequent

then you know what the issue is

wild wyvern

I mean

wild wyvern

yes, get a new gpuuuuu

wild wyvern

Not rn tbh

wild wyvern

The back fan is already not working i think

so you are running

a gpu with no fans at all

if u dont get a new gpu you're risking your pc running a gpu with no fans

Yea i really like pro version more then ultimate because i like loadout more and glad the add charging station for pro 3 its good

And dont wana buy dualsense or xbox gamepads just dont like it

hazy frost

They’re cheaper or same price and have the charging stand and HE/TMR sticks can’t remember what they use in the latest of each

It’s the right choice of all of the controller options rn

Anything similar probably costs almost twice as much

Microsoft rarely does limited editions of its Surface products, but it has quietly launched a “Smurface Edition” in time for the Smurfs movie.

Thread ripper is kinda a weird middle ground rn tho

It's marketed as a workstation cpu

Where as servers use epyc processors

Normal people can't afford workstation cpus

The 9980x is 64 cores, but can boost to 5.4 GHz

That's insane

It's also $5000

Meanwhile the epyc 9965 can go to 192 cores and boost to 3.7ghz all core

Im abit pooped rn

I wanted an lower end part but the promoter insisted we get this set so we did and we felt abit pooped

I hate when they do that

potent arrow

I mean this is by far the better option then a 5050

hot shadow

yes

potent arrow

a 5050 would've been such a waste of sand that you would've been better off without a gpu

wild wyvern
#

I wanted an 5060 but nvm honestly

potent arrow
#

a 9060xt is usually cheaper then a 5060 though?

wild wyvern

No

#

Same price here apparently

#

For the 8gb ones

potent arrow

wtf LOL they are here

wild wyvern
#

Huh

potent arrow

wait

#

why does it matter then

the 9060xt is better then the 5060 lol

#

if ya get it at the same price it's pretty good deal then

wild wyvern
#

I think 200 dollars more for the rx 9060xt

#

But the issue is they dont wanna change the effing gpu

#

Like seriously?

Everything got messed up

They said the set is better than downgrading

Me and my dad got dizzy hearing the promoter bable and got it

so the promoter straight up told you to get the 9060xt over the 5050?

We cant change it lmao

Not even the gpu

#

They said its set

#

Ah well

#

We got it

potent arrow
#

Im also willing to bet its due to availability

cz if you arnt a big SI, your parts selection is very limited rn

wild wyvern

The mobo doesnt have stock anymore

#

So yeet

#

So we had to get the set couldnt go custom

sly elk
#

yea they did that here in the US, too

#

I bought my 9070xt with a power supply because newegg wouldn't sell them alone. The power supply was actually a really nice one though. Unfortunately for me I really didn't need it so I sold it lol.

#

basically sold it for a $40 loss

#

but that doesn't feel bad at all because if I count the price of the psu that way, then I'm saying i paid 670+tax for the gpu, so $710 all in is... really good

hot shadow
#

I ain't even using Newegg anymore cause I felt like the deals sucked

yea they cost 699 now, I think I did ok considering i got mine when they were hard to get lol

8600/8700g igpu vs 5050

hazy frost
#

Both suck

#

The 5050 is an actual dedicated gpu the igpu in the 8000 series CPUs isn’t matching it tho

#

Still both suck

sly elk
#

dedicated gpu means it has its own ram

#

faster ram too, usually

#

so there is a performance difference for sure

gentle star
sly elk
#

i mean in my case it was, pay 789 for the 9070xt and a 850w power supply.... or buy a $899 9070xt off amazon because the other ones would sell out instantly except for the asus tuf which would randomly stay in stock for a few seconds... at $799...

luckily tjhis isn't a problem anymore

oh wow they even have the yeston sakura in stock

Oh?

solemn geyser
#

So streaming tech question- what do I need so people hear my mic and the game audio separately?

inland mauve
#

do you mean you want to record them on separate tracks?

#

because that's fairly straightforward, you need to set up your streaming/recording software so that there is at least one audio track with only game audio and at least one audio track with only mic audio

#

but you also need a track with both combined so that you can stream that audio track, else your viewers won't be able to hear both

#

afaik there is no streaming platform that supports letting your viewers choose between audio tracks

sly walrus
#

god imagine

inland mauve
#

the closest thing is Twitch allowing you to stream two audio tracks to them at once, one for the live broadcast and one that will be used in the VOD

That reminds me, I need to set something up like that for console gaming streams

 A system deficit I recognized over the last several months was choral music, couldn't enjoy it when played as I was hearing

Also taking the SSD out of the PC and wrapping both the OS and music drive SSD's in Mumetal shielding with further grounding has taken the SQ to a level I did not hear before. RAID and external NAS may be in the same external benign enviroment being away from the PC. Of course the RAID controller, firmware, powering quality etc are other factors that one would have to address.

If the NVME M.2 is a 100watt Solid State Amp then the Samsung 860 is like a 150 watt Tube Amp

  3. Holographic in Sound Stage especially outside of Speaker and HP sonic images

there is still this myth that you need to run your headphones,speakers,equipment,whateverelse for X hours or days at X volume with this or that kinda music or noise before they will sound as they should or else you might damage them etc

sly elk
#

idk maybe for a little more one of those prs swamp ash guitars 😄

hazy frost
#

Unless u want something very specific

#

Everyone hypes up the revstar but I bought a PRS instead no competition it’s a much better guitar

#

I only own like 6 guitars to compare and most of them are cheaper ones

#

The best value stuff is from PRS, Yamaha, Harley Benton in Europe, Ibanez for some of the standard line like the AZ, or Cort depending on what u want

sly elk

I did say the prs is probably worth spending a little more on XD

To me it would be no question

I like how the prs looks

Idc for the Yamahas aesthetically

#

I personally have a fender ultra strat hss and don’t think I’d ever need another guitar lol. So whenever I do it will be a purely frivolous purchase for the lols

My guess is either a PRS or some sort or a Japanese fender

XP pen make a stand alone tablet as well now tho that’s way better than an iPad for drawing

cause if I'm just doing shit art or something procreate is more than enough also

for a family that usually has an ipad these days

Is an 27 inch 1080p monitor too much?

hot shadow

no that's pretty standard

if anything it should be very affordable

#

just make sure the other specs like response or refresh rate isn't dogass

#

decide if you're a 60hz or 144hz+ gamer

#

if you do any amount of art you have to care about the calibration and colors and panel it uses. but that's obviously extra

#

because pink is different on everyone's monitor

But i thought 24 inch is the standard?

it's whatever looks nice on your desk

24 inch 1080p is usually the standard with 27 inch 1440p if you go up in size

but if you sit far away enough

27 inch 1080p is ok
