general

[full badge]

you can have a CPU with 8 cores and be worse then a cpu with 2 cores lol

[ember tapir]

The problem is the processor on previou Macbook is an i5 from Skylake Gen refreshed that was nerfed into ground

Even at 1.6Ghz the laptop still fucking throttle

they fucking do it to achive impressive battery life

[full badge]

its more the fact Apple is trying to keep aesthetic and try not give performance to the cpu ence running it at low ghz so it doesnt heat much

and yeh to also eat less battery lol

not as bad as putting a i9 on it thinking was a good idea

[ember tapir]

Its recycle trash

Its fucking Apple, they never innovate laptop, they even fucking denovate theirs with stupid ports removal

[full badge]

its more the fact people buy it, and do buy it mostly for the exclusivity of the MAC OS

not a fan aswell but thats the hard truth of it

[ember tapir]

MAC OS is just a fancier designer OS

99.99% designer think that OS is a gift from desendant goddess

[full badge]

People buy it, Apple makes money

thats the simple cycle

[ember tapir]

Apple and their stupid innovation, restrictions, pricings garbage can go to hell

[topaz linden]

I genuinely hate Mac OSX

[ember tapir]

Its a fancier Windows that offer very little benefits and take away a lot

[topaz linden]

The core count argument is invalid in this context

[full badge]

alot of people buy their products for xyz reasons. For educational proposes, personal, professional etc

[topaz linden]

Less cores means less performance when we're comparing them to their competition here, since Apple uses the same Intel CPUs as other brands

[lilac forge]

Try bfv

It’s better

[full badge]

less cores doesnt mean less performance lol

[topaz linden]

They're just using lower end CPUs

[ember tapir]

They said that MAC OSX kick off efficiency

Yet failed to prove it

[topaz linden]

That's not my argument

[ember tapir]

Imagine this, at 1.6Ghz clock the laptop still throttle

[topaz linden]

My point is that Apple's choice to use dual core i5s for example puts them under their competition using quad i5s

[full badge]

[topaz linden]

1.6Ghz is fine for a base clock in an ultra book. They usually boost way higher.

[quartz nymph]

Depends on what you gonna do with it, a dual core cpu can perform really well in macOS

[ember tapir]

On slightly harder task the laptop kick the proccessor to 2.8Ghz which drains the battery significantly

[topaz linden]

Apple's issue is putting style and aesthetic over literally everything

[quartz nymph]

My 9750H clocked at 2.6GHz and switched off TB and HT. However I hated paying for that cost of the laptop

[ember tapir]

I always get shutter issue on blender with my collague's iMac

[pseudo spire]

iphones are strong though

[ember tapir]

He got a top of the line iMac

[quartz nymph]

Hard drive issues

[ember tapir]

Well iPhone might be an exception because its easy to use

[pseudo spire]

afaik iphones have always had the best chips in them, maybe not the most ram but they sip ram compared to android and chrome

[topaz linden]

To Joker's point, obviously more cores don't equal more performance (look at AMD FX), but kinda-sorta does considering Apple is using Intel CPUs like their competition. They're just using slower variants while their competition use faster variants.

[ember tapir]

AMD FX is 4 cores in disguided

[topaz linden]

Mobile quad i5s are faster than mobile dual i5s

[ember tapir]

Its not really 8 physical cores

[full badge]

ah yes AMD FX series literally the worse kind of CPU's to ever existed

[ember tapir]

FUcking Bulldozer

[topaz linden]

Actually it is 8 physical cores, but cache is only assigned on a per 2 core basis.

2 cores share cache

[full badge]

because intel makes cpu's for laptops

[ember tapir]

Windows recognize it as 4 cores 8 threads

[full badge]

AMD had to rebuild a whole new cpu architecture and gen

from the 0

aka teh ryzen

[ember tapir]

4 modules with 2 int cores and 1 FPU per module

[full badge]

and rn they're actually pushing ryzen to laptops aswell

[ember tapir]

4 FPU shared between 2 modules

[topaz linden]

FX CPUs have aged surprisingly well though for certain things.

[ember tapir]

So its still 4 cores

[topaz linden]

Especially with games using Vulkan API

[ember tapir]

Also it eat power like a fucking whore

and hot as shit

the FPU design is so inefficient

[topaz linden]

I had an FX-8350 and honestly it was pretty good for the price.

My buddy has it now, it's powering his streaming PC, lol

[ember tapir]

But its perf is very inconsistent

[quartz nymph]

At that time

[ember tapir]

The throttling rate is just too high

My fan siren like a fucking Stuka with that thing

[topaz linden]

He plays on a Ryzen 7 3700X, but his Stream PC is running my old FX-8350, 32GB DDR3 RAM, and an R9 380 with an Elgato HD60 Pro capture card. Works effortlessly.

[vernal scarab]

Oof FX

[topaz linden]

It's my old PC with more RAM basically

[ember tapir]

FPU is an very outdated architecture

[topaz linden]

I gifted it to him

[vernal scarab]

Had an old mate that melted his motherboard with one of the 8 core FX CPUs

[topaz linden]

This has a 212 Evo cooler

[ember tapir]

Yea that thing have a tons of issue

I don't know if they ironed it out

[topaz linden]

But overall, I had a good experience with the FX-8350

That FX-9390 though, LMAO

[ember tapir]

But AMD Bulldozer lineup is the worst scam in the indutry

[topaz linden]

The first 5GHz CPU

That power whore of a thing

220w

[full badge]

I mean you dont need a NASA computer to encode image

literally a old laptop sometimes does it

[topaz linden]

My Ryzen 7 1700 uses up almost 75% less power, lol

Compared to my old FX-8350

[full badge]

220 watts is pretty avg

with one gpu etc

[topaz linden]

No, that was 220w on a CPU

[ember tapir]

220W is medium state

Sometimes it kicks up to 350W

[quartz nymph]

FX is so inefficient

[topaz linden]

I saw video of somebody running that thing with a Vega 64

Red Dead 2

[ember tapir]

1200W PSU is finally useful

[topaz linden]

I can't imagine his power bill

[quartz nymph]

If you don’t use Turbo Boost, you cpu won’t draw more than the TDP

[ember tapir]

No maybe Vega 64 4 ways CF

[topaz linden]

But he was getting 60FPS at 4K High-Med settings

[ember tapir]

Vega 64 4 ways CF+FX 9390

[topaz linden]

He was using the pseudo-XBOX One X settings

[quartz nymph]

You can get a 3600 running at base clock with 17W power consumption

[topaz linden]

Vulkan API loves cores and threads

[quartz nymph]

And getting >100fps in bfv at 2k

[topaz linden]

That's not THAT hard

I usually turn down things like shadows and keep textures high

[ember tapir]

Also that Jaguar CPU on consoles are shitty

[full badge]

I just put everything on max and still have 120fps+ with 1440p

[ember tapir]

thanks AMD

[topaz linden]

I'm running a Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX 1660 Ti

I'm still at 1080p/60 until I upgrade monitors

[ember tapir]

Talking about consoles

[topaz linden]

But I have a 4K TV as my 2nd display, and I'll load some games up at 1440p on there

[ember tapir]

Microsoft gimmick XBOX One X as 4K 60FPS

[topaz linden]

4K at Med-Low settings!

[full badge]

its not impossible

[topaz linden]

Fuck Yeah

[full badge]

and its not cheap too

lol

[ember tapir]

The settings at High-Ultra

[topaz linden]

On XBOX One X

[full badge]

I mean normally games on consoles have a special treatment of polish compared to PC's

[topaz linden]

The Division 2 it ran at mostly medium settings with certain things dialed down below the PC's lowest settings.

But hey, native 4K/30

[full badge]

since they run on a lighter OS and they use a different kind of CPU

[topaz linden]

Yeah, optimization

And being able to manually assign cores to tasks

The PS3's RSX architecture was honestly pretty impressive for its time, just very hard to develop for.

[ember tapir]

unify memory

Thats the key to victory

[topaz linden]

Unified memory has more disadvantages than advantages, honestly. It's more cost effective.

[ember tapir]

Yea but it run games ways better than traditional memory split

Cheaper too

[topaz linden]

No way, not even remotely.

It's cheaper, yes

[lyric aurora]

I will gift you nitro if you give me rtx

[full badge]

N

[topaz linden]

VRAM isn't very efficient with multi-tasking

[full badge]

because Vram is for one thing only

[topaz linden]

Having dedicated system RAM is always better, honestly

[ember tapir]

Running both shader cache and computes task on the same high bandwidth memory

How is that not efficient

[topaz linden]

What Joker said...

But consoles need to cut corners. Therefore unified memory

[ember tapir]

VRAM is dedicated memory designed

[full badge]

yes, because thats how is supposed to work

[ember tapir]

They can be used at system memory too

Its just high bandwidth memory

[full badge]

just spell what VRAM means

you dont need a engineering degree for that

[ember tapir]

They don't use it for system memory because its god damn expensive

[topaz linden]

I know what it means, it's just efficient and precise.

Better for moving heavier loads of data, faster

[ember tapir]

Also computer IO is different from these consoles's IO

[full badge]

ok then explain how are you gonna process Video/graphical data on a simple RAM

when the RAM only know how to process 1 and 0's

[quartz nymph]

Don’t forget some low end 1030 uses DDR4 RAM as VRAM

[ember tapir]

It is designed specificly to run different tasks without required system memory

[topaz linden]

Is Turkish saying they use separate memory?

[full badge]

if you allocate on the RAM an image he'll just say wtf and will feed you with random 1 and 0's

[ember tapir]

VRAM modules are just high bandwidth RAM god damn

Is it too hard to understand

[full badge]

VRAM is only used and mostly used so you process images, videos etc

[topaz linden]

Yes, but with that comes some caveats when it comes to running more basic tasks.

[quartz nymph]

The faster VRAM makes the gpu faster till bottleneck

[ember tapir]

DDR4 can be used as VRAM on 1030

[full badge]

its not because its not pratical or expensive its because we dont have other way to do it

lol

[ember tapir]

DDR3 used to be powering GPUs

[topaz linden]

Less precision and virtually no efficiency.

[ember tapir]

VRAM on GPU is dedicated to load shader cache and textures

[quartz nymph]

So if the 1030 has ddr4 ram on it, it’s gonna be slow

[ember tapir]

https://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_8800_gt_us.html this thing used to be powered by DDR3 memory

[topaz linden]

Extremely, at least when loading textures. DDR4 1030s are basically made to power multiple monitors at higher resolutions. They're not gaming cards.

DDR4 is more efficient.

And less expensive.

[quartz nymph]

[topaz linden]

You can game on a GDDR5 1030 though. They're okay for things like LoL or The Sims

[ember tapir]

HBM can be used as system memory

[quartz nymph]

[ember tapir]

Just the compatibility

And nobody need that super duper high bandwidth for 300 dollars

[topaz linden]

HBM2 is really good for professional workloads

[quartz nymph]

Yeah I guess RAM is good for multi tasking then

[ember tapir]

Components on a PC always run at the same clocks what so ever

[full badge]

Memory Type
GDDR3 for the 8800

GDDR3

[ember tapir]

Just different multiplier

GDDR3 is jut the name

[full badge]

I wonder what that G is there for

I wonder

[quartz nymph]

Same

[ember tapir]

It's DDR3 at core with different design

[topaz linden]

GDDR is ever so slightly different, is what Istanbul is kind of missing

[full badge]

which isnt DDR

its designed to process imagine

[ember tapir]

the DDR3 is 64-bit bus

GDDR3 can be ran at 256-bit or 368-bit bus

Its basically DDR3 at its core

Same bandwidth

[quartz nymph]

Well latency

[ember tapir]

latency depend on CAS CL type

[full badge]

[topaz linden]

This is the most technical conversation this server has seen in years

[full badge]

not really

[topaz linden]

I mean in general

[full badge]

still not really lol

[ember tapir]

DDR3 have higher lantency than DDR4

[topaz linden]

As in #general

[full badge]

been here for 2years+

[ember tapir]

GDDR3 is the fastest latency variant of DDR3

[full badge]

I've more technical

[ember tapir]

It doesn't justify by timings

[quartz nymph]

But GDDR3 is used on gpu in the mid 2000

[ember tapir]

DDR3 is justified by the bandwidth

DDR3 DDR4 DDR5 get it?

[topaz linden]

Either way, unified memory is a disadvantage, it's just more cost effect.

Consoles use it to save money

[ember tapir]

Every breakthrough double the bandwidth

[quartz nymph]

I mean DDR3 released in 2007

And GDDR3 is being used on GPU a few years back

[ember tapir]

GDDR5 almost quadurple GDDR3 in term of bandwidth

So its classed as 5

[tawdry spruce]

Hi guys. Doing a frontlines only server. On right now and for the next few hours. US servers PC. ims6x #46567

[ember tapir]

Save money but give out a huge advantage

[next hound]

Good morning

[ember tapir]

You don't need those low bandwidth memory if the IO don't require it

[topaz linden]

Though funnily enough, the PS4 has a sub-processor with more DDR3 RAM than what's on the PS3 total, and that's assigned solely to background tasks and video capture.

[ember tapir]

Running on high bandwidth memory at all tasks is already an advantage

The PS4 always capture clips and footages in the background

You don't know that?

[topaz linden]

Yes

[quartz nymph]

They use 1 core for background tasks

[topaz linden]

I'm aware. It has a secondary processing unit running adjacent to the APU as well, with its own memory.

[quartz nymph]

So 7 other cores (used to be 6) will do the gaming part

[ember tapir]

Watching youtube, Netflix or playing games always using that Jaguar CPU

[topaz linden]

Not a lot of memory, but more than what's on the PS3

[ember tapir]

The PS3 only have 256MB memory for game tasks

Its the 970 of 7th gen consoles

[topaz linden]

Yeah, from my understanding the 2nd unit only operates as an assistant to game capture and the UI when transitioning from in-game to home screen. Just keeps things snappy.

[quartz nymph]

3.5gb with 0.5gb slow VRAM

[topaz linden]

So when you're in game and you press the PS button, that sub-unit kicks into action. Same with the share button.

[ember tapir]

Thats why the XMP is so smooth experience

XMB*

[topaz linden]

Interesting design choice though.

[ember tapir]

But Bethesda ultilize the memory choice poorly

Games like FONV or Skyrim always have issues

[lilac forge]

hi

[topaz linden]

"The PS4 includes a secondary ARM processor (with separate 256 MiB of RAM) to assist with background functions and OS features.The PS4 includes a secondary ARM processor (with separate 256 MiB of RAM) to assist with background functions and OS features."

[lyric aurora]

Ps4and XBOX one are the same

[lilac forge]

Anyone want to play grand operations with me I’m brand new.

[lyric aurora]

But xbox more cheaper

[ember tapir]

No

[lyric aurora]

Yes

[topaz linden]

Except the base XBOX One only has DDR4 memory

[ember tapir]

DDR3

Not even DDR4

[topaz linden]

DDR4 I thought

[lyric aurora]

Sorry if I ask but what's ddr

[topaz linden]

Damn you're right, yikes

[quartz nymph]

Some games on OG xbox gets 3/60hz at 900p but it works fine on PS4 with 1080p

[topaz linden]

DDR3 in 2013 for gaming

Hard yikes

[tawdry spruce]

nobody's joining my frontlines 😦

on pc

[ember tapir]

DRAm but double rated

[lyric aurora]

I can't believe I'm adult I don't even understand what you're talking about

[topaz linden]

PS4 had a 7870 equivalent GPU vs the XBOX One having a 7750

[lyric aurora]

Ah yes

[topaz linden]

Same exact CPU though

[quartz nymph]

Dram less SSD can be bad for gaming

Light gaming is fine

[ember tapir]

At first Xbox one ran games at 900p or even 720p

For 100 bucks premium

[topaz linden]

Then with the "enhanced" systems, PS4 Pro had an RX470 equivalent GPU to the XBOX One X's RX480

[ember tapir]

Well its not PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X since both MSRP is 400 vs 500

[quartz nymph]

if people runs FH4 with a DRAM less SSD, writes on the TLC or QLC chip right away

[topaz linden]

Kudos to PS5 for actually utilizing full PCI-E 4.0 storage

Good future proofing

[quartz nymph]

Hmmm I reckon it’s gimmick

[lyric aurora]

PS5 will be released in 2021 right

[ember tapir]

Did you know that very fast SSD can be used to powered GPU?

Q-caching

[topaz linden]

Yes

[ember tapir]

This technique can be used to boost GPU performance significantly

[topaz linden]

I was reading that the PS5 actually relies very heavily on data compression and caching

[ember tapir]

Very weird that a SSD can boost GPU perf that high

[topaz linden]

Not that weird.

[quartz nymph]

Unless they can use 90% of the PCIE SSD for gaming

[ember tapir]

Shader cache and textures load can be significant

better

[topaz linden]

9-10GBps won't be a gimmick in 2025

[quartz nymph]

I don’t think PCIE 4 for storage is useful for gaming without tech

[ember tapir]

So you can improving visuals without needing a 52 CUs GPU

Sony actually gonna make the console 100 bucks less while getting the console neck to neck with XBSX

[topaz linden]

You can, by taking less load of of the GPU's memory interface

Streaming faster compressed data off the SSD

Interestingly enough, Doom Eternal uses similar optimization.

On a software level.

[ember tapir]

Also they have to use liquid cooling for PS5

Since those gonna ran hot

[topaz linden]

Probably a big blower design, pulling air in through the front and bottom, and out through the back or sides

[ember tapir]

The new PS5 SSD is way better than retail NVME SSD

[topaz linden]

The original PS3 had a front intake

[quartz nymph]

Blower is bad

Good for compact machines

[topaz linden]

It's not so much that it's "way better", it's just actually utilizing the capabilities of Gen 4

[quartz nymph]

But it’s really really inefficient for larger machine

[topaz linden]

You'll see better utilization moving forward.

[ember tapir]

Its 10 Gb/s seq

[topaz linden]

Data streaming and compression really is the future for better optimization.

[ember tapir]

Surpassed Retail SSD 2-3 Gb/s seq

[topaz linden]

It's a gen 4 SSD

Gen 4 PCI-E M.2 drive

[ember tapir]

Xbox is more solid with theird 52 CUs GPU choice

But they have to raise the price higher

[topaz linden]

Series X supports gen 4 but only utilizes a gen 3 drive

[ember tapir]

Sony will also sell their SSD units seperately

[topaz linden]

Not necessarily, because I think they purposely sacrificed computing power to rely more heavily on data compression, which revolves around the capabilities of the drive.

[ember tapir]

That SSD is very fast compared to traditional NVME SSD

[topaz linden]

They're just G4 M.2 SSDs

[ember tapir]

If they don't, replacement gonna be hard

[velvet pulsar]

They dont have to raise the price. If more people buy it more people will but the Gold membership

[topaz linden]

You casn buy any Gen 4 M.2 as long as it is at least 7.7GBps

Faster gen 4 drives are set for Fall 2020 release when AMD releases its new chipset

[velvet pulsar]

Subscription services are the new revenue generators and Microsoft has been amping theirs up

[topaz linden]

B550 I believe

[ember tapir]

Sony gonna sell it 100 bucks less no matter whats Xbox SX price is

[topaz linden]

B550 and X670

[ember tapir]

Its Sony's always strategy

[topaz linden]

With those chipsets will come faster 7GBps-10GBps M.2 drives

[ember tapir]

They'd rather take loss to sell their exclusives library

[topaz linden]

Sony and Microsoft just have very different fundamental designs to their consoles.

[ember tapir]

Games are Sony priority

[topaz linden]

Microsoft opting for basically a PC with more floating point performance.

[ember tapir]

Microsoft wants to make a console that can do other tasks

[quaint herald]

Reeee no crossplay cause we're arrogant

[topaz linden]

And Sony relying on next generation data compression and streaming.

[ember tapir]

Crossplay is a thing now

[quaint herald]

Oh no i know they've lightened up on it

[topaz linden]

It'll be more of thing this next generation.

[quaint herald]

Its just bullshit that they'd want to deny it like....

[ember tapir]

COD MW, Fortnite, Minecraft now supports crossplay on PS

It takes Sony very long but its a thing now

[topaz linden]

Microsoft isn't naive anymore, they know PC gaming is growing, and they know PC gamers aren't going to buy XBOX's

[quaint herald]

Cause they're built for it yeah

Crossplay battlefield will be a thing to look forward to

[ember tapir]

PC gamers is just 15%

[topaz linden]

So they're growing XBOX more as their overall gaming brand and less like just a console

[ember tapir]

Crossplay against consoles

No PCs involved

[quaint herald]

Yeah just xbox on ps4 would be fair ground

[topaz linden]

PC is a bigger platform, but it's a better platform performance wise, so it creates stark imbalances

[ember tapir]

Crossplay with PCs gonna be a major problem

[topaz linden]

So best keep consoles together but separate

From PC

[ember tapir]

Better perpriherals(mouses and keyboards)

[quaint herald]

Give people fucking strong ass autoaim on console and its just breaky breaky

[ember tapir]

Cheating issues

[topaz linden]

But XBOX Game Pass has made a KILLING on PC

[quaint herald]

Honestly. Even just the option for console vs pc or console vs console would be for the best

[topaz linden]

And some of their exclusives sold exceptionally well on Steam

[ember tapir]

Just old Halo and Forza 4

[topaz linden]

Like Cuphead, which sold better on Steam and Nintendo Switch than XBOX

[ember tapir]

Gears 5 sold 3 millions copies

[topaz linden]

That includes PC, yeah

[ember tapir]

That excpetionally disappointing for AAA game

[quaint herald]

There are new gears of war games?

[topaz linden]

lol, yeah

[ember tapir]

Gears 5 is the lastest

[topaz linden]

I'm sure Gears 6, 7, and 20 are in the works since Microsoft milks their franchises to death

[ember tapir]

Halo MCC sold 800 thousands copies on PC so far

[topaz linden]

That's pretty good, honestly

[quaint herald]

Just want crossplay for the campaigns

On halo

[topaz linden]

That's why Microsoft abandoned console exclusivity in favor of dual-platform.

[quaint herald]

Its friendlier that way

[topaz linden]

Hell, they're putting Microsoft indies on Switch

So PS5 will outsell Series X, no doubt

[ember tapir]

Microsoft buying studios but treating like Rare

[topaz linden]

But Microsoft will have a much bigger marketshare

[ember tapir]

Also killing of Xbox exclusivity

[topaz linden]

Due to Game Pass

Well, XBOX is a brand now

[quaint herald]

Would you guys say that xbox (or microsoft) is friendlier with this stuff?

[topaz linden]

It's not just a console

[quaint herald]

In comparison to playstation

Or... Sony

[ember tapir]

They're nail nail

[topaz linden]

Microsoft is pushing "Play Anywhere"

[ember tapir]

Game Pass is a bargain

[topaz linden]

On PC it's fucking amazing

[ember tapir]

But beside that they're still not cutting off some restriction

[topaz linden]

Rumor has it, Game Pass will be on Switch soon for select games too.

It's already a unified account

[ember tapir]

I wish both next gen consoles with just supports 3rd party Bluetooth headphones

[topaz linden]

So you can link your Switch account soon, if it happens

They do

[quaint herald]

Play nintendo switch games on xbox

[ember tapir]

It just so fucking dumb that you have connect the headphones to the AUX ports

[quaint herald]

That shit would be wack haha

[ember tapir]

Or buying their qualified headphones

[topaz linden]

You don't, Bluetooth works just fine

You read that all wrong

[ember tapir]

Try it mate

[topaz linden]

Any Bluetooth headset works on PS5

But they won't all support 3D audio

[vernal scarab]

Just use USB wireless headsets

[ember tapir]

I meant PS4 and XB1

[topaz linden]

Wired is better anyway

[ember tapir]

My Airpods have no delay

[vernal scarab]

I mean wired is good if you like getting tangled

[topaz linden]

I just plug my Koss KPH30i's into my PS4 controller

[vernal scarab]

Wireless is in a great spot nowadays

[topaz linden]

Wireless are still limited impedance wise

[ember tapir]

You have to use HDMI splitter

Or if you use a Pro unit

[topaz linden]

Higher impedance means higher volume without distortion

[quaint herald]

Wired has served me very well so i dont see a reason to pass it up

[vernal scarab]

Ehhhhh

Overall I'm not a console fan

Closest I have is my sis has a switch

[ember tapir]

Oh wait I can connect my Airpods 2 to PS4

[topaz linden]

Though, later this summer the Goddess of all wireless headphones is coming

[ember tapir]

But not other headphones

Sony is bribed by Apple confirmed

[vernal scarab]

I dunno my wireless headphones are plenty loud enough

[topaz linden]

The Drop + THX Panda headphones = best wireless Bluetooth headset ever made

[vernal scarab]

Got the G933's

[topaz linden]

Those sound like trash though

[vernal scarab]

What mine? No u

[ember tapir]

I'm not a audiophile so I'm not a fan of wire

[topaz linden]

Yes, garbage

[vernal scarab]

You're garbage

[topaz linden]

You haven't heard good headphones, my guy

[ember tapir]

Logitech gaming headphones

[vernal scarab]

Honestly at this point I don't care to because it'll be another thing to spend money on

@ember tapir Logitech gaming everything

[topaz linden]

Just get the Drop Pandas when they releasr

The wireless headphone to end all

[vernal scarab]

Used to have a Logitech keyboard but my birb pooped on it and shorted the logic board

[topaz linden]

They'll literally be the all-in-one package

[vernal scarab]

But still got the G903 and wireless charging mat

[topaz linden]

Logitech makes nice things, just not audio

[vernal scarab]

Say that to my perfect quality $20 Logitech speakers

Practically nightclub level of quality

[topaz linden]

Pandas are THX amplified hardware tuned planar-magnetic headphones

[ember tapir]

How you know if audio is good or not

[topaz linden]

I'm kind of an audiophile

But of an objectivist audiophile though

Not one of those vinyl loving snake oil witch doctors that blow $70,000 on AC power cables

You think that's a joke, but it isn't

[vernal scarab]

I know it ain't

[topaz linden]

$2500 USB cable

$70,000 AC power cable

[ember tapir]

What keyboard you all using

[topaz linden]

I have the Corsair KB55 or some shit

[vernal scarab]

I remember an old Linus video where they reviewed one of those HDMI cables

And it was objectively worse other than the audio line

[ember tapir]

I use those Flico Convertible

[topaz linden]

These people are batshit crazy

[ember tapir]

Cherry MX Blue, Wireless, so good

[vernal scarab]

Currently using a CoolerMaster pro l or something, got it free with my GPU but it's cherry reds so I don't mind

[topaz linden]

Here's a good laugh for you:

[ember tapir]

Wireless keyboard are so easy to use

[vernal scarab]

Never felt the need for a wireless keyboard outside my htpc/VR machine

[topaz linden]

Prices aren't listed. You have to contact their retailers and schedule and appointment to get the prices, because you have to be a serious buyer.

[vernal scarab]

My desk isn't going anywhere so 🤷

Oof damn

[topaz linden]

But you can buy a Corvette ZR1 for the price of a set of 10ft RCA cables

A set, as in a pair of two.

They also sell "cable lifters"

A piece of machined aluminum that lifts your cable off the ground; that's all.... $3500

Each

$3500 EACH

[vernal scarab]

Sounds like a worse Apple

[topaz linden]

It's the ultimate medium for baseless snake oil and frivolous spending

"Trust your ears"

[ember tapir]

Oh boi I'm keycap addicted

[vernal scarab]

Never understood the keycap addiction tbh

[topaz linden]

Apple can't dream of selling a $50 cable for $75,000

Those profit margins....

[ember tapir]

You replace your keycaps set firse time

You will know

[vernal scarab]

Ah well, it's another thing that won't bother me until I buy it, I'm saving my money to buy iPad accessories

[ember tapir]

You got addicted to ipad accessories

[vernal scarab]

Got a brydge keyboard, trackpad 2 and pencil for an iPad that I'm fixing

It'll be a veritable MacBook by the time I'm finished

Good luck

I was shocked we got achi baba

Well we played as Anzacs in BF1

Honestly even Kokoda wouldn't bring me back

[next hound]

Hmm

[jolly folio]

I mean I doubt that the Aussie will be there

Since they where still recovering from the emu war

It was one true blood bath

French and Italy would be nice tbh

Fair battle between the two

Then have 1 where it’s Italy and Brits(or Americans idk)later Germany and France

[next hound]

What pole

Where

Ah yes

[jolly folio]

I mean tbh there is a lot of people in this server but in reality it’s like what 50 to 100 people or so

But then the admins will have to make a new channel and idk how that setup works

[surreal wagon]

Level 3

Np

Battlefield is lit

Indeed

I had one boost on a dead server so I’m like why not

Np

[ember tapir]

bf5 isa dead game

[surreal wagon]

But 1 is better

But flamethrower on a Sherman is mmmmm

Nice

If we ever get it

Or a dlc

Or smthing

[jolly folio]

You know what’s weird about the flamer bois

[surreal wagon]

[warm linden]

Bois I'm happy to report I'm improving

[next hound]

In what way

[vernal scarab]

Improving in that suave delivery of speech

[warm linden]

At one point I was 9 and 3

[next hound]

[vernal scarab]

[next hound]

It’s practice makes perfect

[vernal scarab]

I was that guy who was 0/30 at the bottom of the score board in bf4

Then Bf1 I worked my way up to a 2KD and always in the top 5

I don't like to talk about BFV tho

[gaunt bison]

Hey guys, if I have driven 50km and I spent 37,5 minutes. What was the formula to find the average speed again?

Since the average speed I got was 1.2 km/h

[vernal scarab]

I'm all of them tbh on that gamer list

Oh except the pro gamer

[leaden vault]

@gaunt bison the formula is speed = distance/time. so it would be 50/37.5

which is 1.something

1.4 maybe

[gaunt bison]

Yeah but

1.4 km/h doesn't work

It has to be wrooong

Since if I spend 37.5 minutes driving 50km

[leaden vault]

oh wait, no that would be km a minute

you need to convert 37.5 into hours

[gaunt bison]

Og

Oh

Multiply by 3.6?

[leaden vault]

once you convert it into hours, do 50/that number

[gaunt bison]

37.5/60=x

Right?

[leaden vault]

its 0.625

37.5 minutes is 0.625 hours

so do 50/0.625

i think

[gaunt bison]

Oh okay

Thanks man

Math is hard and our teacher suck

Appreciate it

@quaint herald 393? let me guess, youre a pilot ?

[west sparrow]

100%

[leaden vault]

i have exactly 0 kills with planes in bfv

oh, no, i lied

[lilac forge]

its not that hard, get a blenheim or Ju 88 on narvik, drop bombs

[leaden vault]

i have 1 kill

i dont actually know what thats from

[lilac forge]

or C flag on al sundan

[leaden vault]

fjell is the worst for planes imo, or best for pilots

its just constant,

[lilac forge]

I dont like fjell as a pilot, too many mountains

[leaden vault]

as soon as you walk out of spawn the entire team gets blown up

so annoying

and if you are on an objective, there is a good chance you will be killed by a plane

nah, snipers arent that much of an issue on that map

[quaint herald]

I fly a loy

I fly a lot yes

[leaden vault]

yeah, pilots tend to have high levels lol

you just get so many points from planes its unreal

[lavish tiger]

Heard jack drags dropped a theory of battlefield being free

[quaint herald]

Im sorry my touchpad died

[lavish tiger]

Hopefully it’s true

I’m hoping for a battlefield 3 remaster

that’ll be hype

Ikr!

I miss the old Battlefield days

[vale mirage]

then play the games

[quaint herald]

But yes you can get a lot of points from planes. Specifically the pacific planes.

[vale mirage]

there alive hear and there

since people still play BF3

[lavish tiger]

True but my ps3 is in the Philippines

[quaint herald]

The corsair 1C and Zero A6m5 are the strongest planes at the moment

[lavish tiger]

And GameStop just agreed to hoop to bankruptcy- I mean close down cuz of uhh the thingy

[marble bridge]

does battlefront 2 have free dlc?

[full badge]

yes

[quaint herald]

I was about to say~

[pseudo spire]

battlefront 2 is a live service

[marble bridge]

so if you buy the game rn do you get the content that dropped before you bought the game

[spice yacht]

Pretty much, yes

[rugged sundial]

It's the same thing with Battlefield V pretty much.

Only problem with Battlefront 2 is star cards, which are basically downright upgrades and those upgrades can level-up.

So starting players are at a genuine disadvantage

[marble bridge]

ok

[spice yacht]

And in BFV you don't get all the ToW rewards, safe for a few weapons, vehicles and maybe an outfit or two

[slim jackal]

i think we should go to 39 in Poland

1939*

[rugged sundial]

With BFV, the weapons aren't inherently 'stronger' though

[slim jackal]

bcouse it all started in my country

[rugged sundial]

Upgrading the weapons... yeah they will be stronger lol

[marble bridge]

didn’t it used to be pay to win

[rugged sundial]

Battlefront 2 used to be considered pay to win yes, but now you just upgrade with the in-game currency that you get for playing the game

The system has genuinely improved.

[marble bridge]

oh ok

I just wanna get the game bc of boba fett homie

boba fett is the greatest Star Wars character of all time

[rugged sundial]

I think all of the heroes are unlocked for everyone.

Heroes and Villains can be upgraded too btw.

[west sparrow]

for $£

[rugged sundial]

I know there's a premium currency but I think that's just cosmetic stuff

Yeah, it's just "in-game appearances."

[marble bridge]

ye

[rugged sundial]

You can acquire crystals by playing the game too, by completing 'milestones'.

The way they've made unlocking stuff is great, I just don't like how the upgrades change the game.

[rugged sundial]

Try getting into Video Game Photography, I guess... what games do you actually enjoy?

[west sparrow]

stuck on console is hard - i've started playing lara croft which is really good

[rugged sundial]

Still a couple of games allow you to do some video game photography.

I hate to say it but Forza has a really good photo mode if you're a car enthusiast

What's good about that is that it does reward you with points in 4 if it's a unique car.

[digital schooner]

I have a lot of photos from rdr2

If you have the game then i would definitely try and get some pictures

[rugged sundial]

I am trying to get FiveM to work on GTA V, I'll see if I can take pictures

It looks kinda fun. Of course, I'll give it a whirl before saying it's shit or anything

it looks... extremely unoriginal but thats not a bad thing
