[pale quartz]

well, was

[toxic wigeon]

That's sad.

But I hope gen 17 will be big.

[pale quartz]

be waiting a few years for that lol

[toxic wigeon]

It's kinda funny cause wasn't AMD in the gutter cause of bulldozer and they've steadily rebuilt themselves as a result?

I dunno what era bulldozer is but I've heard it was pretty terrible and is why Intel got complacent.

[pale quartz]

nah

I mean bulldozer was terrible but it wasn't the reason

[toxic wigeon]

Ye isn't the other issue is that Intel just can't innovate enough?

[pale quartz]

bulldozer is FX, intel got complacent because the board at the top wasted tens of billions in failed acquisition strategies to try and turn intel into something it wasn't, such as McAfee and other bullshit companies, they had their processor divisions divested of resources for other get rich quick schemes because they didnt need to care

[quick locust]

Intel got pretty complacent cause of BK

[pale quartz]

it wasn't amd who done anything, intel done it themselves

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah no I don't think amd directly did anything to Intel either.

Eh

It's pretty sad

[quick locust]

Currently they've been cutting a lot of stuff

[pale quartz]

they were on the right path to redemption but the rot was that deep they had some 20 defect node issues in the old IFS, then they had to spend billions getting that up to standard tooling, it's like a zombie trying to turn into a human

there's also the actual internal power politics inside intel which stymied it for years, just a game of thrones type situation

[willow schooner]

Even 12th gen was a bit of a mess for intel. Needing to do a revision where they disabled AVX512 for example...then having it fully gone for 13th and 14th gen

[pale quartz]

it was actually fully fused off alder lake

they had a first batch of revisions which had it mistakenly included for adl so bios bricked it then the newer ones had it lasered off

[willow schooner]

Well yes and no. You can still use older microcode on 12900k to re-enable it

but ks is fully gone

[pale quartz]

you can if you have one of the models that has it, but if you buy a 12900k today it will be lasered off

[willow schooner]

You just need to disable E cores

[pale quartz]

the mobile parts were fused off aswell iirc

[quick locust]

AVX 512 workloads on a 14900KS would make good room heating

[toxic wigeon]

What the fuck.

[mystic flax]

Finally got the monitor

The box is in absolute shit condition

But the content is all secured

Man I can't fucking believe I'm so close to getting this thing built

[brave sundial]

Building stream when

[molten coral]

Is that the oled one?

[mystic flax]

Yeah

QD OLED

[molten coral]

Nice, I was looking at that monitor

But I’m not sure if I can go back from 49 to 34 inch

[willow schooner]

I got the 27" non curved

The AW2725DF

I can't game on bigger than 27" on pc. Tried 34 before and it wasn't for me.

[mystic flax]

I'm so used to the 34 inch

I'm going to miss it though

Not planning on having a double monitor set up

[willow schooner]

Double is perfect for me, as I can record bugs for reports on one, while having all my work apps on the other screen

[mystic flax]

Maybe a smaller monitor with the same hz I would love to experience the double monitor set up

[molten coral]

I just really like the screen estate of my 49, especially for work.

I’ve been thinking to buy a samsung G9 oled and stack them.

[midnight crypt]

or just buy a tv

[willow schooner]

Most TVs suck versus monitors

And have inferior conectivity

[toxic wigeon]

What's this monitor specifically observer?

If it's 4k I may get it.

[mystic flax]

4k

[willow schooner]

Is it the AW3423DWF

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-announcement-may-slip-to-2025

maybe an announcement in January

[mystic flax]

It's a AW3225QF

[molten coral]

[willow schooner]

Ah nice. I mistook the image for a widescreen haha

[mystic flax]

Lol

[molten coral]

Yeah same

[willow schooner]

I was looking at this one too, but opted for thew 1440p/360hz model

[toxic wigeon]

I swear AMD took a note out of dices book to release their hardware at the end of the month and say hey it's releasing on this month technically!

[willow schooner]

the more time the better, always. 😄

https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/23/24203847/irobot-new-roomba-combo-10-max-robot-vacuum-matter-support

$1400

[willow schooner]

Roomba or 4090?

[midnight crypt]

id rather do that myself

than spending that much

[coarse nimbus]

Never underestimate the ability of people to waste their money

[toxic wigeon]

Doesn't sound like a bad piece of tech to be fair.

[turbid verge]

Yo it got a spoiler now

[dry pike]

If you have children and dont have time to game or mop the floor. That when you get that thing.

Single gamers in small spaces with plenty of time was never the audience for this

[storm osprey]

or you could have gotten a roborock qrevo s for 600 bucks that does all of that and probably better

Any pc literate gamers?

trying to see if I have any bottlenecks present here

[storm osprey]

reads like a prebuilt?

id highly recommend doing a custom build

[lofty light]

Eh prebuilts with standard parts should be fine

I wouldn’t trust most people to put their own pc together

[storm osprey]

takes like 2 hours to do your first build, VERY hard to actually mess anything up, and typically will save a decent amount

[lofty light]

Should be fine, I’d be planning ahead to upgrade the ram if you end up needing more but 16 should do you with that midrange specs

[storm osprey]

ram and 500gb of storage if he decides to go with this are obvious concerns

[lofty light]

Yeah the 500gb storage is fairly low, can just add another drive down the line for storage though

It’s an nvme so decent for os drive

Although it honestly will be fine overall for a prebuilt

[storm osprey]

ill assume thats about 1k for a prebuilt system

[lofty light]

The fact it’s got a non stock cpu cooler and a name brand PSU are good, it doesn’t say the case but that can be swapped down the line too if it’s especially awful like that Walmart case

[storm osprey]

depends which psu, even corsair and evga had dud psus in their line up depending on what oem they went with for specific models

7600x roughly 10% faster as well

[modern gull]

What problem, no need to recall our non oxidation defective 13th and 14th gen at all 🤷

[toxic wigeon]

Avoid Intel.

It's not a bad pc.

But in the best faith way possible currently. I cannot recommend Intel.

[pale quartz]

this PR statement is a total disaster

every single 13th gen processor sold within the last year is now confirmed to be defective at a hardware level

[molten flame]

Statement shouldn’t be delayed for so long, makes them look worse

[pale quartz]

they were very clearly trying to bury this issue and deal with it on a case by case basis, the big fucking problem now is it's now a gamble on if your bought 13th gen processor is going to die within 5 years

there are going to be investor lawsuits over this, you cannot not mention defects at a hardware level

[modern gull]

Pretty crazy, specially if they aren't doing efforts to be transparent. Also if they don't offer refunds or new product to those affected

It makes no sense trying to keep this secret, it will eventually see the light of day anways 🤷

[pale quartz]

it's a complete shit show, everything which is classified as 13th gen is now potentially affected, processors sold on Amazon and that are in warehouses do not classify by batch, they are just sold by inventory, meaning if you buy one today you're also probably going to have a defective one

[modern gull]

Rip those who buy, glad i switched to amd for my new pc upgrade

[pale quartz]

if you buy one from the second hand market you're probably buying a bomb and if you bought one already you probably classify under it, they need to do a full recall for purchases of any kind for 2023, millions of processors are on the line

[modern gull]

That gonna be expensive, i suppose that is an understatement too

[toxic wigeon]

Man

[pale quartz]

would be a under estimate yeah, it could very easily go over the billion mark

[modern gull]

Imagine all the money they spent on production etc... And imagine the recall, it's basically like they spent money not to earn anything. Maybe recall/refund would make it even more expensive

[pale quartz]

yeah which is why they won't

suppose a lawsuit or two is needed

[fallow idol]

hello , i have a probleme with BF1 , i got it on pc recently (2000+ hour on ps4) and it refuse to launch game and say to me my connection is too bad to play this game, but on ps4 never had problem like this , and other game on pc never say i have a bad connexion (and when im able to connect to a bf1 server i have 20 milisecond of ping .. so i dont understand why it piss me of like this

[karmic leaf]

I just saw in my Android Pie new phone there's an LTE button in the dropdown top menu and I been wondering what the heck it was: https://www.androidpolice.com/volte-guide
-# p.s. you might want to have an adblock ready cause omg this page is riddle with adds all over the place; it's like... overwhelmingly full of adds, like a literal minefield

(p.s. it's funny, you spot that gramatical mistake? The d from riddled got typed along with the d in ad -- funny how my brain fumbles sometimes... )

[toxic wigeon]

What makes the Samsung g series monitor kind of a big deal?

[pale quartz]

there's nothing special about them

[toxic wigeon]

They seem kind of a cucked deal cause the one I was looking at has a micro DP port.

You have that 4k 34 inch oled alienware monitor yeah? @pale quartz

[pale quartz]

dell as they own Alienware but yes

[toxic wigeon]

Hows it working out for you?

Is it a good monitor?

[pale quartz]

I mean, it's the best monitor I've ever had so, pretty good bar by that I guess

in terms of OLED tiers it's probably one of the top 7 still to this day, it's only really beat by the 3rd gen panels

[toxic wigeon]

Ohh yeah

It's really hard finding a good curved oled 4k monitor.

That isn't UW.

[pale quartz]

PG32UCDM

32 inch 4k

[toxic wigeon]

Oh yeah

[pale quartz]

it is WOLED not qd oled though

[toxic wigeon]

Is qd oled one of the better ones?

[pale quartz]

depends what your aims are

if you want colour vibrancy qd oled is significantly better, but it has text fringing issues, woled has less

[toxic wigeon]

Oh right

[pale quartz]

objectively they're both fine just different panel types

[toxic wigeon]

Do you have issues yourself with the text fringing issues?

[pale quartz]

depends how small the text is

[toxic wigeon]

Or is it noticeable if you really focus.

[molten flame]

12th gen also suffers from instability and unstable memory overclocks but not defects or excessive voltage

[pale quartz]

it's not particularly a problem at 4k due to pixel density

[toxic wigeon]

Ah yeah

So that's an issue fixed by itself.

[pale quartz]

not fixed, just less noticeable to being indistinguishable

[toxic wigeon]

I'd go get 4k oled curved 27i but it feels like it's impossible to find one.

[pale quartz]

id say there's not much to gain from a 27 inch tbh

[molten flame]

people even underclock their 13th/14th gen CPUs at ~4 GHz and still get instability so I think voltage or power draw isn't the only problem

[pale quartz]

it you want 4k 32 is ideal

27 is too small for that resolution your pixel density will be too high

[toxic wigeon]

I guess that's an issue in itself yeah

32i is more expensive than 34 ironically

For that alienware monitor.

[pale quartz]

yeah it's a newer panel type

also higher refresh rate so

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly.

With the mindset of running 4k I'm not expecting 240 or something haha

As long as I can get a nice consistent 120 frames on 4k I literally cannot complain.

[pale quartz]

wrong mindset

for a high end panel you want a higher refresh rate due to cost investment than less

whether you can achieve it doesn't really matter, you have gsync

[toxic wigeon]

Oh no I mean im not gonna go out of my way to go for a low refresh rate monitor but as long as it's 144 to 165 I'm not terribly concerned.

I know that the higher refresh rates one are really good with screen tearing.

I remember you made a statement about the crazy 500 Hz ones.

[pale quartz]

mine is not 4k btw, it's 1440p uw, bare in mind

[toxic wigeon]

Ohhh yeah

Oh wait so WQHD or some shit

[pale quartz]

yeah

[toxic wigeon]

By the way what's your keyboard?

[pale quartz]

I've got the wooting two he

[toxic wigeon]

What was it like to adjust around it?

Did it feel fucked?

[pale quartz]

nope felt fine

[ivory creek]

for some reason every mechanical keyboard i try in an old really fastphased game called GunZ i keep getting clicks that doesnt register, only when using an old membrane keyboard of mine it works perfectly

[pale quartz]

more responsive and easier to use than normal keyboards

[quick locust]

24 inch TN here

[ivory creek]

would a wooting improve that?

[quick locust]

[pale quartz]

hard to say

theoretically yes

but it depends how that game registers inputs specifically

if it's a dead trigger as the description seems to be implying it would resolve it

[ivory creek]

cool

might try it out then

[toxic wigeon]

Don't you have razer? @pale quartz

Like a razer keyboard or something.

[pale quartz]

no

would never buy razor garbage hate their software

[toxic wigeon]

Fair LOL

[pale quartz]

wootings software control isnt matched in terms of how much you can do, it's worth it's price in gold

[ivory creek]

in gunz you sit like this 24/7 https://youtu.be/lyQ2O-LtgRo?si=S2G75aSb8NZP0Dqe having a single missclick can make you lose

[prime jasper]

I like my Razer headset. it cost $40 and sounds fine for the 5 minutes a day I can actually wear a headset.

[pale quartz]

rapid trigger/scod seems like it would fix this, but again it's not a guarantee

[prime jasper]

ooh, plus it has integrated RGB so I can turn off the light completely just like the rest of my computer. amazing.

[pale quartz]

likely yes though

[toxic wigeon]

Guess I'll think about it for a bit.

It's a cool thing tho

I'm always for cool tech.

[molten flame]

Wooting has better response times than Razer's Huntsman V3

[pale quartz]

there's no reason to buy the huntsman 3 anymore

wooting just added their fancy standout feature yesterday

[toxic wigeon]

I don't necessarily need a new keyboard but it'd be super cool to mess around with.

[pale quartz]

my last one was dying was a easy buy

[toxic wigeon]

To so easily replace hardware that's still just irks me

Heah

You had a proper excuse.

[willow schooner]

Regarding SOCD, can it be set to ignore specific keys?

Like if I'm moving forward (W) and press reload (R) will it cancel move movement?

[pale quartz]

yes it's similar to per actuation in that it can be done per key

[quick locust]

No keyboard software for me at all

[willow schooner]

Cool, perfect then. And yes, wooting is around better than the razer.

[toxic wigeon]

Oh like a script in the sense of yeah I want to stop moving when I do this right.

What makes wooting better than razers?

Rip

[willow schooner]

Wooting could have added this ages ago, but chose not to due to feeling it was exploitive. They kinda have to add it now to stay the best/competitive

Better software, better build quality, etc

[pale quartz]

far more features, and you don't need razor garbage

the configs can be done entirely in browser

[toxic wigeon]

Oh cool

So I don't need bloatware.

[pale quartz]

don't need a single piece of software

[toxic wigeon]

I'll definitely think about it for a bit tho.

[molten flame]

I'm using an 8BitDo retro keyboard NES style even looks like the console

[quick locust]

Zero software for my keyboard, Daskeyboard model S

[ivory creek]

wasnt it here tho that someone posted a video of a keyboard that solved a problem with wooting if you pressed two buttons at about the same time really fast and it would stall

[willow schooner]

Razer only advantage is availability

[toxic wigeon]

I got a good mouse from them at least.

[molten flame]

Razer Kraken > Beyerdynamic headphones

[pale quartz]

the double shot keys are very nice I wasn't sure if I'd like the lekker switches

much better than abs cheap garbage

[toxic wigeon]

I wonder how well the wooting would do on ultrakill.

[quick locust]

Full alienware setup

[toxic wigeon]

Considering the need for speed.

[willow schooner]

Do analog switches work in many games BTW?

Or mostly not at all?

[pale quartz]

they work in them all

[willow schooner]

Cool

[quick locust]

Need the most smooth volume knob

[pale quartz]

the hall switch itself is agnostic to the game itself which is the wild part

[ivory creek]

my current roccat vulcan tkl pro got a nice volume knob and mute button

lol

[molten flame]

that wooting keyboard might have some kind of advantage in war thunder airplane battles and racing games

read that it can have controller responses

[pale quartz]

yes it can do that

it emulates xinput for wasd essentially acts as a controller

[molten flame]

wtf

[willow schooner]

Has an advantage regardless due to rapid trigger

[molten flame]

so you can make your character walk slowly instead of a jog when you press W key

[pale quartz]

yup

[willow schooner]

I find it wild that a company like wooting has had such a better product for so long

[pale quartz]

yeah its funny cause analog has been around for like 20 years

but the keyboard market had that much stagnation

[willow schooner]

I wonder how many times other companies have tried to buy them

[pale quartz]

wouldnt be surprised if they had offers tbh

[quick locust]

Wonder if they have my layout or just the American wrong one

[pale quartz]

since they hold the patent for the hall effect the ip would be worth a lot

[willow schooner]

They have all

[pale quartz]

ye ^

the ISO's can be changed

[willow schooner]

You select precise layout before checkout

Product wise, they offer the same as other "leaders" and more than most

[pale quartz]

pretty sure even the double shot keys are still on offer

[willow schooner]

Don't most come stock with double shot PBT?

[pale quartz]

is abs normally

they offer double shot pbt though

[quick locust]

I just have a very basic Daskeyboard, has worked without issues though

[toxic wigeon]

Same.

[pale quartz]

actually nevermind it used to be abs

[toxic wigeon]

It'd be cool so see some kind of innovation.

[pale quartz]

lekker switches are the best part just feels like a dream to type with

[toxic wigeon]

Wooting might be the start of something cool.

[willow schooner]

The only keyboards where they videos with stuff like "This feels like CHEATING" is actually true lol

[pale quartz]

legit it does

its kinda strange at first

[quick locust]

Full n key rollover?

[pale quartz]

didnt realise i was subconciously accounting for mechanical latency

[pale quartz]

included

[mystic flax]

Just ordered the fans and white cables

The last pieces of the PC.

Now I play the waiting game

[quick locust]

Oh daskeyboard does have software for the newer ones

Weather adjusted RGB what

Oh well I dont want rgb

[willow schooner]

I don't either, but I do want fully controllable custom lighting. Like being able to set static white, purple, blue, etc. Rainbow or swapping colors is something I don't need

[toxic wigeon]

"Cool"

Get it

Cause you ordered the fans

Guys don't leave when I tell the funny

[pale quartz]

i just turn off rgb for the keyboard more distracting than not tbh

[quick locust]

Who needs more

[pale quartz]

yuck

[quick locust]

[terse glade]

[toxic wigeon]

That's it

I'm ordering soon

Wtf

Did you install some owo plugin?

[quick locust]

[toxic wigeon]

I've never felt so much pain

What the fuck

[storm osprey]

(not saying this is apple vs android related) man i wish the whole apple vs android fanboy thing stopped

its insane people still do that

[ivory creek]

i bought the first iphone that was available in sweden, iphone 3g. and i gotta say with no background check that most phones after have just improved on their design

before that we had actual buttons on phones

[storm osprey]

unfortunately now im in the apple ecosystem and cant imagine leaving it

everything just works together so seamlessly

[ivory creek]

they support their phones for way longer it feels to me , i moved to an android cuz it was so cheap but the end of update after just a few years felt so cheap

i moved on to a custom mod android 14 on the phone and it works like a charm. so why cant we haven an actual update

[pale quartz]

because money

also that custom ROM will lock out safetynet features on newer phones so not so much

Samsung's update support has gotten significantly better over the last few years they're not that much further than apple nowadays, but it used to be far worse

[storm osprey]

they objectively did support their phones way longer than average, though i think most androids now support 4-5 years like apple does, but some years ago it was like 2 years of support vs 5

[dry pike]

My Pixel has 7 years of support which is more like it

[storm osprey]

(support and hardware for the price was the main reason i first got my iphone 11)

[ivory creek]

my iphone 5 got new updates as long as it lived if i dont remember it wrong, they had to stop updating it cus no x64 support

[pale quartz]

yeah that doesn't happen anymore on iOS lol

you can forget support for hardware that is that type of ancient regardless of the vendor

[storm osprey]

pixel has one of the longest supports right? i feel if i went back to android i would try a pixel

[pale quartz]

yes

pixel is aosp

so it's very easy for Google just to push updates, they do literally no changes

[storm osprey]

no clue what aosp is

[pale quartz]

android open source project

it's the root ROM tree where android is built from

other vendors have to rework aosp updates into whatever they use e.g. Samsung with oneui

[brave sundial]

samsung sensors are better indeed. I wonder how they'll pull it off with their insane level of software optimisation

Maybe the edge chinese oems had in simply having stupidly good sensors will be gone.

[dry pike]

I wanted more than OnePlus and Samsungs own special software and OS support. Pixel has not disappointed so far.

[brave sundial]

If Pixel phones had alert sliders I would jump on them immediately

But for now literally no one but apple and OnePlus/Oppo does them

why

[ivory creek]

oneplus top phones these days are as expensive as samsung, does anyone remember when they were the flagshipkillers with same hardware but way lower price?

[pale quartz]

ehhh

ehhhhh

not exactly

[dry pike]

I had the OP3, probably the last of their "flagship killers"

[brave sundial]

nah they're still well under samsung.

[pale quartz]

competitive yes flagship killer not so much

[brave sundial]

OnePlus 12 is regularly at like $800

S24 ultra enters $1000 territory

[storm osprey]

ive always questioned this statement considering you could get the lowest base iphone for 600-700 that had the latest hardware but typically a mediocre screen

[pale quartz]

the 3t etc still have the usual compromises you needed when you have a phone priced that low

[brave sundial]

Not really same hardware, they just offered a similar experience but without all the luxuries

People begged OnePlus to add 'luxuries' like IP rating and wireless charging

as well as competitive cameras

[pale quartz]

the tldr is it was not a good thing for OnePlus, it was a curse

and what led them to being second fiddle and eventually subsumed into oppo

[ivory creek]

wasnt oneplus also a membersclub first, u had to be a member to get an invite to buy the first

he predicted it 7 years ago

[pale quartz]

no that was just a gimmick to appeal to stupid enthusiasts

dumb fanboys fell for the marketing

[dry pike]

OnePlus began making too many different models and they could not support the software of soo many. Imo. that's where it begang going downhill a bit.

[pale quartz]

as if anyone actually gives a shit about a phone nobody knows about

[brave sundial]

Now Nothing is doing the same thing.. except not at the same time

I really don't get why they made a budget sub-brand out of an already very new and emerging company

[pale quartz]

the lesson is phone manufacturing is expensive and if you aren't the biggest you won't survive, if you try to appeal to a echo chamber of dumb nerds who want to root their phone you are going to go bankrupt, and vice versa

they're just the easiest bait for you to pull in for consumers, expendable right after

[ivory creek]

well im looking to update , but idk what to pick. i was eyeing pixel 8a but people say it doesnt live up to 7a and just to go for 8 as its often sold for about the same

[brave sundial]

I think I'll still stay with oneplus for now. I need my alert switch , coloros is bearable these days I suppose too.

[brave sundial]

Or you can be BBK and just make a new enthusiast brand everytime the last one matures

realme replaced OnePlus, now they're maturing too, time for a new brand I suppose

[pale quartz]

those days are dying as we speak

a lot of that was due to loose monetary policy in china where companies could forego profit in the name of expansion

but they were axed and it's only a matter of time till those companies fall under

[dry pike]

I thought I would miss my alert switch. But not really though. Was surprised.

[ivory creek]

oneplus still got their nord lite series which is really cheap tho

[dry pike]

limited software support on those previously though

[brave sundial]

Their update policy is at 4 years now I think for flagships and mid-range

[dry pike]

Think its a bit more now

but can't be arsed to look it up 😄

[brave sundial]

apart from coloros the 12 is perfect for me so I guess I'll go with that

[uncut quarry]

how do i fix the bug where battlefield 5 just stutters for 1 second then the game just closes?

my pc is not being overworked at all

[toxic wigeon]

Reckon the 9000 series delay was a precaution just incase due to Intel?

[pale quartz]

nope lol

august was the already scheduled timetable

this "delay" is them just cancelling their early launch

[toxic wigeon]

Do you have a link to a site about mobile phone processors by the way? @pale quartz

Full of their specs

[brave sundial]

for specs comparison in general I use gsmarena's comparison tool

[toxic wigeon]

It's really annoying finding stuff about snap dragon and that.

Ah yeav

[brave sundial]

https://gsmarena.com/compare.php3

[toxic wigeon]

Thank you

[brave sundial]

for snapdragon specifically the flagship stuff is usually 8 gen x etc.

midrange and budget stuff is 7 gen x

I'm pretty sure they retired the use of the 8XX or 7XX nomenclature too, that was pretty confusing

For mediatek and exynos higher no = latest and better afaik

[willow schooner]

Still rocking my Redmagic 8 Pro 😁

SD8 Gen2

[brave sundial]

redmagic making the coolest phone ever stuffed with great specs and genuinely impressive tech for insane value before dropping it with absymal software support and forgetting it even exists after 6 months before proceeding to release the next one.

[willow schooner]

You get what you pay for.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

A fast, cool phone, with a long lasting battery

Rather pay 600 for a top tier phone evry 3 years, than 1200 for a worse one that might last 4

[brave sundial]

by might last 4 you mean would last up to 7 years with a battery replacement in between

[brave sundial]

true, i wish they atleast tried with their software, some of their settings pages have literal spelling mistakes

[willow schooner]

Which pages?

[brave sundial]

But the hardware team at nubia is genuinely impressive

[brave sundial]

tbf I guess they probably solved that issue, it was the gaming page, like a year ago.

[willow schooner]

Probably info from someone who bought the chinese version and changed language to english

Ive never noticed translation issues on the Global version

The cameras are not great (Compared to apple/samsung devices) but they are good enough for what I will use them for. 😄

[mystic flax]

Seeing all of the shit Intel is causing. Glad I went amd

[prime jasper]

Not me. I'm hoping people start panic selling off their 14900K/KFs so I get a cheap upgrade.

[brave sundial]

so meta llama 3.1 was announced and in benchmarks it seems to shred gpt4o and gemini 1.5

But still not as good as claude 3.5 sonnet

[toxic wigeon]

I feel fortunate there too.

[molten flame]

microcode updates will make 14900K slower than 12900K lmfao

no point in getting LGA1700 CPU at all

better off even with AM4

[molten flame]

Arrow-Lake supposedly has lower clockspeeds than Raptor-Lake refresh, 9% IPC gain

[visual quail]

Probably a silly question but do all 40 series cards have the frame generation feature? Like the 4060 to 4090 all have it

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah they have DLSS 3.

[toxic wigeon]

Not a dumb question it's always good to confirm!

I asked if there were peanuts in my chocolate when it stated it had peanuts the other day so I'm with you on that boat LMAO

[dry pike]

Can't wait until 5xxx gen which will arrive with DLSS 4, which they ofc. wont roll out support for previous gens, and then have all games after that skip DLSS 2 and 3 and only release with DLSS 4 support.

#speculation

[toxic wigeon]

I don't even care for the new DLSS.

I just want a 4k card.

[modern gull]

4090

[toxic wigeon]

Nah dude

5090

[modern gull]

Well yeah

Also 90 if you want it too last some years

Games gonna need more and more vram in no time

ngl 24gb vram kind of op still lol

[dry pike]

90 cards are generally low value though

[modern gull]

Yeah i would agree, but if you got coin for it why not

3070 too 4070 ti super was good upgrade maybe not so much value wise, idk didn't calculate. I tried cyberpunk and got average 105 fps with all maxed out, dlss performance

[toxic wigeon]

My PC upgrade will be the last thing I'll spend on my self for a few years on end building up my life.

So kinda

I want to go all out

I don't want a 950x3d but I know that if I get that it'll last me a little longer.

[molten flame]

always get the fastest GPU available in the market and ignore everything else

5090 might be overkill for my 5800X3D

[dry pike]

or, get a 70 series at 1/3rd the price, then get a next gen 70 or 80 series in a few years. Same price.

That is the smart thing. But I also doesn't do that

[molten flame]

idk, 4070 is too overpriced for the peformance, especially with the 7800XT and 7900GRE being cheaper

5070 gonna be worse

4070 should have been $350

it's a severely cut-down GPU

like 30% of the cores are disabled

[lost cargo]

80s

[brave sundial]

What happens when they get to the 90 series, will the next series be called the 100 series?

[lost cargo]

It’s all about that 69420

[coarse nimbus]

what's the current good partner for a 3070 as far as cpu goes

[dry pike]

Depends on the game, but something like a 5700X-5800x3d or the 7 series equivalent for AM4 seems reasonable

[willow schooner]

Depends on budget.

The best, is the fastest cpu possible with ample cores/threads, but if you can't afford that, it's not on the cards

[coarse nimbus]

Have ram prices fallen back down? the allure of finally getting 32gb is potentially high

[ivory creek]

4k card? nvidia promised 8k for 3090 and now it can only hold up 120 fps in 1440p or 4k dlss in best case scenarios

but this was a while ago

to be fair

[midnight crypt]

They didn't say at what fps

8k with dlss

[ivory creek]

true it got a hefty 24gb of vram for the heavy use

[midnight crypt]

24 fps

[ivory creek]

i think my 5800x3d top out at about 100fps in heaviest of bf2042 128p scenarios aswell

[quick locust]

So some in IT got a ton of work here due to Crowdstrike

Like stupid long hours

[toxic wigeon]

Hope they get paid over time.

[quick locust]

And the company gave them a 10 usd JustEat coupon as a thanks

[toxic wigeon]

God

Fuck it all.

[pale quartz]

5800x3d will always bottleneck a 4090 lol

[molten flame]

5800X3D is still a fast CPU, though not in games that don’t benefit from L3 cache

5800X3D comes within ~10% of a 7800X3D in lots of games

4090 gets bottlenecked by everything unless you’re at 4K/8K with raytracing

Gotta wait for Zen 7 to unlock full potential of RTX 4090

[toxic wigeon]

Makes me wonder how bad the 5090 will be in that regard then.

[molten flame]

Horrible

[pale quartz]

it's not a problem, it's a good thing

[molten flame]

True

[toxic wigeon]

I mean I think it goes either way.

[molten flame]

Overkill means futureproof if you look at it in a positive way lol

[quick locust]

Need AMD and intel to cook something better

[pale quartz]

no it's just strictly a good thing because it what it means in practice is you get scaling the more you upgrade the processor relative to actual GPU performance

[toxic wigeon]

It's cool and sucks that we won't be able to fully utilise it unless you really push it. Imma go push 300 GPU frames on 4k haha

Oh true

[pale quartz]

rather than the opposite of having it immediately flat lining

[quick locust]

CPU bottlenecked? Clearly not me /s

[molten flame]

I like having my GPU bottlenecked because that means it’s not putting out a lot of heat lol

[pale quartz]

that processor of yours is more vulnerable than windows at this point

[toxic wigeon]

It's still kicking

Let it dream

[pale quartz]

taks

[quick locust]

I might go ARL or zen 5 though

Then i wont have ancient hardware

[toxic wigeon]

That's one thing yeah.

[molten flame]

Arrow-Lake is practically a refresh in terms of performance

Arrow-Lake has ~5% gain at best

[toxic wigeon]

Oh yeah I did hear that the 40 series is really good with transient spikes. Is that true?

[quick locust]

I do know the specs

[quick locust]

Should see my workplace then

[toxic wigeon]

Taks gonna double his CPU gen count. Gen 8 to gen 16 to gen 32.

[quick locust]

My workstation uses a 6200U

[toxic wigeon]

Fucking

At work we had windows 95.

Before the software update.

[quick locust]

And the other one used C2Q

[toxic wigeon]

I'm not even joking.

[quick locust]

Yea same for specific devices

But mostly XP and 7

[visual quail]

my job gave me a laptop connected to a monitor that can only run 1 app without bugging

[quick locust]

Sophos AV and not crowdstrike though

[pale quartz]

[quick locust]

Two mighty cores

Also one of the DDR3 skylake boards

[visual quail]

whats up with computer related work giving you computers that would be considered normal technology in 1950

[quick locust]

1. Its cheap
2. Some of our software and drivers only work on older versions of windows

[pale quartz]

probably not for the reason you think, they don't have a choice most of the time

businesses do contracts with suppliers who decide the specifications rather than the business the best majority of the time

[quick locust]

We dont

[pale quartz]

they just provide the "requirements" that need to be satisfied and it's left to the supplier

[quick locust]

But also small company so

[pale quartz]

ye different situation then

[quick locust]

~150 employees

I think LTT is bigger than us now

[pale quartz]

would be more a sme but depends on the companies goals specifically

if its actually tech focused they will provide it most of the time

[quick locust]

Not tech focused

Industrial

[pale quartz]

outlier then ig

[brave sundial]

cheap and the company who makes the extremely niche specific tailored software they might use can't be arsed to update it to work on newer Operating systems.

[coarse nimbus]

How's your harassment though? Or do they have you beat in that as well

[mystic flax]

I fucking knew they were delaying it. Good thing I ordered it in May. Hope they don't delay it again and fuck me over

I ordered the snow white version

[molten flame]

seems pretty strong but it is geekbench so...

[willow schooner]

Lol, another compromised account scammer

[visual quail]

Currently looking at the i5-13600kf and the Ryzen 5 7600X

Does the number of cores matter or is the ghz more important for gaming purposes. I wanted to learn rendering but ehh

[willow schooner]

I generally advise at least 8 core 16 thread these days.

And stay away from intel

[toxic wigeon]

Don't go intel

[visual quail]

Is the 7600X good for physic simulation

[willow schooner]

Get an 8 core if you can afford it. 7800x or 7800x3D

[brave sundial]

Get the 7800X3D

[toxic wigeon]

Usually with such works you WANT cores and a good speed behind it of course. Intel has always done well in this part sure but AMD won't fucking die on you.

7700x min for sure.

[prime jasper]

HAHA, WHAT

a Logitech G13 goes for $500?!?

fuuuuck. I was going to sell this thing for like $50 to get rid of it.

nah, $100 on ebay. that seems more reasonable

[willow schooner]

Noone is gonna buy it for 500, or 100

[prime jasper]

if someone comes to my house and takes it, that'd be cool

disposing of e-waste is more annoying to me than not having the $20 i'd probably get in this shithole town

[willow schooner]

True, but I dont think youll get much interest listing it at 100. New they were 135 IIRC. Most people dont want to touch membrane keys anymore 😄

[digital hill]

the keyboard?

[prime jasper]

it's got 22 macro keys, a little analog stick with two buttons, and then a little lcd or whatever

[digital hill]

Oh wait a streamdeck thing, jesus how is it over $500

[prime jasper]

nah. it's a game controller from a dead early 2000s era

[willow schooner]

Yeah, its an old game pad thing from 2012

[prime jasper]

it served its purpose well. i used it for an mmo, especially macro crafting. maybe i can use it in microsoft flight simulator. it's a shame it feels like i'm poking a pile of goo when i use it 😐

[toxic wigeon]

PURPLE

I see purple and my braincells perk up

[brave sundial]

I love how it has a tiny lcd too.. for whatever reason

I'm assuming to easily switch different profiles or whatever

[coarse nimbus]

i need that g600...so i have a backup again

[ivory creek]

I just checked and asus azoth extreme keyboard with an improved oled display on it goes for 600usd here

Isnt that alot

Maybe its worth it if you really use all of its features

But it seems excessive for me

[pale quartz]

yes and it's not worth it

just get a wooting lol

[midnight crypt]

Ordered a wooting keeb today 🙏

[ivory creek]

Nice

[molten flame]

Wooting keyboards are the new G502 of peripherals

breakthrough development

[brave sundial]

We have keyboards with tiny oled displays in the budget segment now.

[ivory creek]

[brave sundial]

They're like under $60-70, plastic or mostly plastic chassis obviously, but they're not really prebuilt. Though I find that more enticing, where's the fun with a prebuilt

Wooting's stuff does interest me though

[mystic flax]

The fans, cables, Anit static mat, and the screwdriver kit (for the PC building) has finally come

The only thing left is that PC case that was recently shipped

[storm osprey]

you can just use the knife to build the pc

[mystic flax]

Well I do have to open the boxes

[brave sundial]

You using a regular kitchen knife to open those? And not a special 'unboxing' box cutter?

[mystic flax]

A knife is a knife

This ain't surgery, I'm just opening boxes

[storm osprey]

i just pick at the corner of the tape until it finally peels up, then i start pulling it up until it tears in half and i repeat, then i just rip the box open

[coarse nimbus]

his super fancy box cutter hasnt come in yet

[modern gull]

You know the sad thing about this situation is how from my understanding intel tried their hardest to hide any issues. If they was open and transparent about it and showed interest in correcting the errors for those affected, they wouldn't come out of the situation so badly.

[molten flame]

they were hiding issues in an effort of damage control (hold onto stockholders in anyway possible) but failed because they spent months without a statement

just made themselves look worse to the public

[modern gull]

Damage control, i think better approach would be too deal with it properly and not loose more costumers. If i was a stock holder i would appreciate my money being in a company that deals with any issues in an ok way. Cause in the long run your coin gonna loose value quickly with stupid things like this

But hey, no need to bother about intel products anyway i am thinking. From what i know AMD basically has strongest consumer cpu at this time, also already have superior gaming cpu's for a long time 🤷

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/07/secure-boot-is-completely-compromised-on-200-models-from-5-big-device-makers/

[modern gull]

I am not so good at reading but is this current? Also could this be fixable by bios updates? 🤔

[pale quartz]

yes

it's not current it's a old exploit

the article is deceptive with the title, it's not a problem with secure boot rather a root key got compromised accidentally

manufacturers can provide firmware updates to just remove it

it is not a full bypass as bit locker and TPM will still require separate keys, it only allows bypassing the secure boot authorisation specifically

So, 139.99 eur a good price for Razer huntsman v3 pro. The shop I'm in now has it stocked for that price and I think they priced it as a blackwidow 😅

[willow schooner]

[storm osprey]

CHEATER

[dry pike]

is that the A/D when shooting keyboard?

[pale quartz]

yes, similar to wooting

[dry pike]

[wet notch]

does it really make that much of a difference tho

[dry pike]

depends on the game, I know some Counter Strike players that would love it

[wet notch]

saw a video where someone showed it, it looked kinda crazy in some games but in other games i didn't see what the big deal was

i never tried CS though

[willow schooner]

Snap tap isnt all that useful in 2042, but it does make movement more responsive and AD strafing easier

Like instead of having to swap between A and D to move left/right while ADS, you can just hold A and Tap D and they will alternate. If you do that on a conventional kb, the inputs will just cancel each other

[storm osprey]

its not the "movement" in cs that makes it good for that game, its that counterstrafing perfectly is hard to do, and if gives you perfect accuracy, this basically just makes it automatic

[willow schooner]

Its both TBH.

CS will probably change it tho. Cos its a significant advantage

Like make there be more of a delay when stopping a strafe to full accuracy

[brave sundial]

Or just ban anyone who uses those special types of keyboards

[wet notch]

can they actually do that tho?

[dull jetty]

I invited my friend to my party and I joined a server

but he didn't join

I tried inviting him

in the game

the game told him that the game could not be found

how do I play wit my friend

[willow schooner]

They could not allow the game to launch of you use a software like Razer Synapse, but Wooting boards all use onboard memory IIRC. SO there isnt much they could do there TBH

[glacial moss]

Anybody know what windows services specifically are causing EA anti-cheat to shit itself and shut down 2042 with it?
For example, I'll play normally: game shuts down after 10-15 minutes with no error message, I look in the event viewer and it says EA anti-cheat crashed.
I do a clean boot and disable all non-microsoft services as recommended: game works fine, but now I can't make shadowplay recordings, have my chroma or case lighting, can't edit my razer device settings as Synapse is disabled, or talk on discord, etc.

This wouldn't piss me off so much if it was an instant shutdown that I could troubleshoot faster, not something where I have to play in a real game for over 15 minutes to see if it'll function. No other game does this, it's infuriating.

[brave sundial]

nope, was just joking

Wooting keyboards don't have their own special overlay so it would be impossible to detect ig

[wet notch]

it's not that crazy of a thought, i mean look at the strafing in overwatch with this keyboard https://youtu.be/Feny5bs2JCg?si=vDBerOG2iCjjGSOh

its kind of disorienting to try and predict strafing like that tbh

what if hardware in the future is so powerful it changes how the game is played

[pale quartz]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-no-recall-for-raptor-lake-cpus-microcode-wont-fix-affected-units well that settles it lol

rip

[midnight crypt]

anyone couldve seen that coming

[storm osprey]

it seems like this might be a situation where they have to change the mechanics to not allow this kind of movement

[glacial moss]

"That's a shame. Anyway, buy our new gen lol."

Please tell me it at least uses the same socket, right? They wouldn't make 13th & 14th gen users get a whole new mobo if they wanted to upgrade, right???

Rip intel's future, gonna grab some popcorn and see the stock price probably falling big time. Specially rip customers whit these CPUs, sad to see this little customer care. Glad I moved to AMD CPUs, they got best consumer CPUs anyway from what I understand

By recall if they mean refund/replacement of course. Just read the title

AMD and Nvidia now confirmed for the future 100%

[molten flame]

One day Nvidia will stop making GeForce gaming GPUs because it loses them a ton of profit

why sell RTX 4090 for $1600 when you can turn it into a server GPU and sell it for $20,000

Shareholders are really trying to push Nvidia to pull out of the Gaming market entirely

[modern gull]

I am sure the company will experience growth regardless 🤔

To me statement about shareholders trying to push nvidia out of the gaming market dont make sense to me. Don't nvidia have like server/data center gpus outside geforce?

[modern gull]

Doubt you will be able to sell a 4090 for 20k

It would be like buying a mini cooper for the price of an A320 or something

[molten flame]

as a server GPU it could go for well over $100K since there is no competition in that market

Nvidia could price it more than the entire city of Dubai

you can do that when you own the market

[pale quartz]

yes it's just false projection

NV aren't going to leave the consumer market lol it's just free money for them

[coarse nimbus]

how would you quantify the cost of a city

[modern gull]

Mini cooper could price it more than 100m USD as well, nobody would obviously buy it

[modern gull]

Yeah, also if they can keep their hands in many parts of the market i don't see why they would do less. Unless they are performing poor, but as for their gpu's are superiour all round. Gaming, workstation applications etc... I heard AMD has access to cuda now if i am not completely wrong, i would take that as AMD now also entering workstation aspect of the market too

Don't AMD usually have better pricing as well? So might be some competition in the future i am thinking

It's years from now, whether the ps portal existed or not

That device is just a $200 accessory

portable handhelds are at least $400 with more expensive models above that

[ivory creek]

i still remember when you could get a dual top end gpu like gtx 690 for less than a medium range gpu is now

when will prices stop spiking

[midnight crypt]

Never

[ivory creek]

😦

i read that nvidia might reintroduce the titan series again, would that be a step above 5090/6090 or just take its place

[molten flame]

Nintendo 3DS successor with Nvidia ARM CPU and GPU

[brave sundial]

That's just the switch

[molten flame]

Switch was the mergence of handhelds and consoles

Nintendo will probably stick with dock-able handheld consoles for the rest of their existence with the success of the Switch compared to the Wii U

[ivory creek]

aslong as nintendo got the genius shigeru miyamoto at their side with stuff like zelda and donkey kong they will do well

[molten flame]

black ops 6 on Switch

I used to play World at War on a Wii lmao

[ivory creek]

cool

[molten flame]

was fun but graphics were so bad

[ivory creek]

i think most ppl buy nintendo for mario kart, mario party, zelda, kirbey, donkey kong etc

their own brands

[molten flame]

most of those games can be emulated iirc

I can emulate GameCube games at 8K

[ivory creek]

[molten flame]

I made the internal render resolution of Super Smash Bros Melee about 16x higher resolution

[ivory creek]

nice nice

[molten flame]

begone pixels

[pale quartz]

they can't use it, it's just a decompiled framework which is an interface for software, using cuda is and always will be a NV only feature

Radeon uses rocm, which AMD themselves don't give a shit about

[molten flame]

CUDA requires physical hardware dedicated specifically for it iirc

[pale quartz]

bad memory

[molten flame]

GTX 690 was expensive

[pale quartz]

for that time it was still a halo class price lol

[molten flame]

I swear the 690 was damn near $1000

[ivory creek]

ye but now its medium range price

[pale quartz]

yeah and it's been what a 40% increase in inflation since then

not comparable

[ivory creek]

true

[pale quartz]

back then you were still paying top dollar nothing particularly changed, just you get much better value out of the halo range today

[ivory creek]

the first gpu i bought myself was a nvidia 9800gtx+ and all of a sudden i could run crysis instead of the old computers i got from my dad

damn im old

i think i paid 250usd for that

[modern gull]

Ah i see, i see

Atleast we have zluda

[uncut quarry]

what does reinstalling drivers do to my pc?

[ivory creek]

if a gpu driver become corrupt it might be good to use something like ddu in failsafe mode and start over, but thats nothing u normally have to do

[uncut quarry]

guess i dont need to do it if i have issues with specific games only

[ivory creek]

maybe not, but im not an expert. what i normally recommend is to verify game files, update all drivers, try to remove overclocks if you get any problems

[uncut quarry]

the issues i have arent my personal hardware issues at all usually

specifically ea games just not working properly

[ivory creek]

you could try to press the 3 lines , press help. then app recovery and clear cache

[uncut quarry]

press 3 lines where?

[ivory creek]

top left corner of ea app

[uncut quarry]

would that solve the crashing bugs?

[ivory creek]

i wouldnt know

[uncut quarry]

because its specific games that just close for no reason

[ivory creek]

if you need more help contact help.ea.com

[uncut quarry]

ill try

thanks

[ivory creek]

no worries

[pale quartz]

suppose needs to be a cope mechanism

[brave sundial]

[molten flame]

basic 3D rendering is all I need

my RX 6600 is plenty, while my 5800X3D starves for a stronger GPU

waiting for 7800XT under $400

[coarse nimbus]

mid size motherboard with 3 m.2...does such a thing exist

[molten flame]

they have 2 on mini-ITX

so why not 3 on micro-ATX

[dry pike]

what is mid size motherbord? Just regular ATX?

Because my ATX sized motherboard has 4 m.2 slots

[tawny mauve]

Are they all 8tb?

32tb

[dry pike]

They are all type 2280 with 1 x 128 Gb/s and 3 x 64Gb/s'

[tawny mauve]

[dry pike]

m.2 is just a connector, you could convert it to sata and add a 100tb drive if you want

hell, it's a pci-e port with a fancy small form factor, you can connect a floppy disk if you really wanted

The OS will probably have a theoretical maximum it can display and handle but I doubt you will care

[tawny mauve]

Store 1000 games that are 100gb each

[pale quartz]

number of nvme slots isn't governed by board size rather the chipset

you can run off a similar amount on a mATX board, just cut off other things

[dry pike]

I know

Just used my own board as an example as I didn't want to get into board chipsets and their designs

[coarse nimbus]

Im using 1 as a boot drive, and bought a 1tb for games...which quickly filled up since deleting some unused games ive freed up space but basically at the point of 1-2 more games and its full again

so my shopping list would be everything minus a gpu
and probably would want to add an additional drive on

[ivory creek]

My board got several m2 slots and gpu slots aswell but if i use more than one gen4 gpu and one gen4 ssd at a time they wont run in full bandwidth or something like that. Its kinda confusing

[coarse nimbus]

i currently have the z370 evga board, and iirc using 1 of the m.2 on it takes away 2 of the sata ports

[ivory creek]

Some ppl might just buy 3 or 4 gen4 ssd plug them in and hope they run at full speed

[dry pike]

Gaming doesn't utilize at SSDs that much though, mostly when loading the game up

[ivory creek]

Steam can top out my gen4 nvme tho when updating large packages

[dry pike]

Sure, but the GPU usually does nothing at that point

as the updating happens outside gaming

[pale quartz]

not the case anymore

texture streaming relies on I/O read bandwidth to be able to be done effectively, its done by most modern games in some fashion

why using a single SSD can cause micro stuttering if it's under heavy load

[ivory creek]

I havent noticed any stuttering with only one m2 nvme, but i also got two sata ssd so that probably helps

[quick locust]

I mostly have games on other SSDs than my OS drive

(its also 256GB so im not getting much on that anyway)

[prime jasper]

Is it weird I'm low key scared to put my DeepCool AK620 up for sale even though I know the ban has nothing to do with individuals selling them

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-ultra-200k-arrow-lake-s-boost-clocks-leak-slower-p-cores-faster-e-cores-vs-14th-gen-series#disqus_thread

P-cores have lower clockspeeds than 14th gen but E-cores have higher

[indigo parcel]

Is 27“ good for a 1080p monitor?

[molten flame]

no

[modern gull]

It's ok in normal scenario. It is absolute max for 1080p though, if you sit VERY close to monitor you might see pixels. At arms lenght you should be fine tbh

[indigo parcel]

I use a 1080p 24“ now and it looks worse than my old 27“ 1080p monitor

Probably because of the panel

[modern gull]

Could be

[indigo parcel]

I have a IPS 1080p now and I heard it’s bad for 1080p

The old one was VA I think

[modern gull]

IPS should give you most accurate colours if i am not remembering wrong

[modern gull]

To clarrify, pixels as in these

[burnt coyote]

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/monitors/23-26-inch/106979-kg242ym3(um.qx2sa.302-ry0)

this my monitor

[modern gull]

What is freesync permium

[digital hill]

Nope OLED

IPS can also give accurate colors but the blacks won't be that good

[modern gull]

Between VA and IPS, unsure about oled in first place

🤷

[digital hill]

OLED in first place is because essentially it can perfect blacks

and great uniformity

IPS has ips glow, va have ghosting problems

Though OLED does have it issues, burn in is a big one

That one is more common on all monitors type due to something factory but oled used to have brightness issues

since if you get it too bright, burn in is way more suspectible

[coarse nimbus]

did the oled fad start dying out? seems like it was the up and coming thing a couple years ago

[digital hill]

Nope

I think the OLED is going to be expensive for a while

like it's life is mostly targetting upper people, miniled for poorer people as it'll get improved

[coarse nimbus]

ah, still expensive

[storm osprey]

PPI (pixels per inch) is terrible at 27 1080p

[modern gull]

There even is premium pro

How much per month for premium pro

[indigo parcel]

My old 27“ 1080p looks better than my current 24“ 1080p

[storm osprey]

definitely not clarity wise, color wise probably

two different things

[modern gull]

Could be though

Probably just bad monitor the 24 inch

24 and 27 inch should look the same, only diffrence would be you might see pixels on 27 inch if sitting closer than arms length

[indigo parcel]

quality

different panels tho

[dim dune]

Cool

[willow schooner]

Is there any such device that can be added to a mechanical keyboard to reduce key travel distance?

[dry pike]

You want to reduce the travel distance until activation or travel distance until you bottom the key down?

[willow schooner]

Bottom out. Could be done with O rings I guess

[dry pike]

Exactly, O rings feel bad though

[willow schooner]

Maybe nylon O rings?

[dry pike]

there are also stuff like https://www.elitekeyboards.com/product-page/soft-landing-pads-soft-black although that is mostly for the noise

[willow schooner]

I think some way to physically limit the bottom out would be interesting to see on an analog keyboard. since you can set the actuation point to be very shallow.

[dry pike]

you want a keyboard where just resting the fingers on a key activates it? 😄

[willow schooner]

Im used to low profile keys for a long time now, but I prefer the responsiveness of analog. Basically want the best of both worlds

[dry pike]

Just remember that the perfect gaming keyboard for you might suck for writing

But yeah, you can try a couple of hard O'rings

might sound like crap though

[toxic wigeon]

I would love to see keyboard tech expanded.

Beyond just

Clicky clicky keys

The thought if analog keys made me think imagine if there were keys that could be pushed and pulled.

Like a joystick.

It'd be awkward but I get it could be made to work.

[willow schooner]

Its technically possible, but I think that would be weird behavior for a key

If I understand you correctly, you mean mapping a key, for example W, to be both W and S. So pressing down would move foirward, releasing would move backwards.

Works in theory, but in practive I think it would feel horrible

[toxic wigeon]

Uhhh

Like the tech I had in mind is pretty bad but the idea would be to control the percentile of movement.

Like if I pressed forward 20% I would be talking at 20% walk speed.

[willow schooner]

Already can be done with analog keys

[toxic wigeon]

But I think a better way to do that is make it more how far down you press controls the speed.

Ah yeah

I'm not ultra familiar with thise

To me

The idea of a keyboard is haha keys go click click

[willow schooner]

@pale quartz Does mapped analog input on the wooting board you have interfere with typing when its active?

[pale quartz]

as long as you're interfacing through xinput it doesn't

[willow schooner]

Seems like this is a limitation on the razer boards

[visual quail]

How come my cpu utilization is 90-100 and gpu is 80-90 when playing in co-op but my gpu utilization is averaging at 60 and cpu at 100 only when in conquest 128

I’m on a 9400F and a rtx 2070 super with optimized settings I will be getting a new pc soon anyways also the games downloaded on an SSD

[modern gull]

Cpu not fast enough to feed gpu more than 60% of it's capability since it's at 100%

Also co op is like 64 ai players aswell if i am not wrong

So in short cpu bottleneck

[coarse nimbus]

why 5600x3d gotta be MC exclusive

[modern gull]

🤔

[coarse nimbus]

oh it was 5800 chips that werent good enough so they cut it down

[snow bison]

Can someone help me please ?

I urgently need help! I got the Battlefield 5 software on the EA app and now I want to play it with my controller but it doesn't work. I've been sitting at the PC for 3 hours watching tutorials but none of them work

[willow schooner]

Real players require more CPU resources than AI. Your CPU is under the minimum requirement for this game also. It requires at least 8 threads, you only have 6

[willow schooner]

Playing via steam or EA app?

and what controller. If you want to be helped, give details

[snow bison]

Via Ea App I bought the game there and with a ps4 controller scuf

[willow schooner]

Add the game to steam as a non steam game. Then do this:

[snow bison]

Doesn’t work

[willow schooner]

👍

[snow bison]

It only shows the mouse

[willow schooner]

I seriously doubt you watch that and did all suggested in that time, but OK. Thats how I make it work

[snow bison]

I did all before you send me the vid

That’s what I saw on YouTube

[willow schooner]

Unlucky

Best to contact EA support then

[snow bison]

When I use usb to connect the controller should I remove it out the settings ? I mean the first part in the vid

[willow schooner]

If you use USB, ignore Bluetooth connection part

[snow bison]

Mhm yeah then I lost 50€

Wait wait wait

Why

[willow schooner]

Make sure you have playstation controller support enabled in steam of course. But id wager you have already done that.

[snow bison]

My controller is not on input but on audio

[willow schooner]

PS4 controllers are an audio device

[snow bison]

A

[willow schooner]

Same with PS5

As you can connect headphones to them/PS5 controller has a usable mic and headphone attachement point

[snow bison]

Ok

I have PlayStation support on aktive but there is a thing called in games without support aktive which one ?

[willow schooner]

Do other games on steam detect and use your controller?

[snow bison]

No

[willow schooner]

Well then this would point to the issue being your controller setup, and/or configuration

[snow bison]

Is my scuf a generic controller ?

[willow schooner]

I have no experience with them, so I am not sure. Normally they work as playstation controllers. But I cant be sure without access to the hardware

[snow bison]

Mhm in Fortnite my controller work but in bfv

In the part where you showed me the templates above where 3 controller at my steam there is none

[willow schooner]

Fortnite and EGS uses its own controller settings/support

[snow bison]

There is a template called bfv support ps4

[coarse nimbus]

so considering ive stuck with an 8600k for ~6 years... would adopting a 5700x3d with the now discontinued am4 socket actually be an issue..

when i originally built this pc i was using a 1070ti as a placeholder, and got the 3070 eventually- so in the future i could always get a replacement gpu and still be fine with the cpu for a long time it seems?

[midnight crypt]

am4 is a dead end

[willow schooner]

Its only an issue if not having any upgradeability at all is an issue for you

Otherwise, its a flat out upgrade in pretty much every area you could measure

All depends on budget and whether you NEED to upgrade right now

Id look at reviews like GNs, then try to extrapolate how much faster your CPU performance would be: https://youtu.be/llKZzym9hAo?si=-tn8C8-2g4vWqWca

[toxic wigeon]

I would honestly say get a 7800x3d. It'll last you a little longer.

[willow schooner]

For example, your CPU is about the same spec/performance as a 3600, so you can roughly gauge how much faster a 5700x3d would be

[toxic wigeon]

5700x3d isn't necessarily bad but it's a little too late.
