brb

#

ok

#

oh tpu just helps with minor OCs and not turbo

#

turbo processing unit aka noob trying to overclocking so they let the software deal with fine tuning helper unit

#

thats actually a good thing

#

this is why I know little about it, because I deal with my stuff in the bios so i can fine tune voltages

#

ah makes sense

#

and yes, I am a noob when it comes to overclocking. xD

#

They let the software deal with it until some egg head decides to try to turn their CPU ratio up to 80 LOL

#

Other than that, I really like the features my board came with

#

It's an ASUS Prime Z370-A

#

btw

#

Also with Turbo don't you have to select applications that need it?

#

thats not a bad board

#

because with the software you need to pick apps for Tubo

#

*Turbo

#

Its actually one of the better low-mid end boards

#

yes, its low-mid

#

wat\

#

See? I know what Turbo does but I didn't know you needed to select programs for it

#

turbo is done in another software also

#

its some intel program

#

ah

#

I thought it'd just do it automatically

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Oh well I'll just keep my minor overclock of 4.3 GHz. It seems to not mind it hehe.

#

yeah

#

4.3 is good

#

but

#

5.0 is better

#

but also risky

#

naw

#

just get a good cooler

#

I have a good one ;p

#

which one?

#

Corsair H100i V2

#

ehh

#

thats low end

#

high end uses giant tanks of LN2

#

then recaptures most of that and puts it into other tanks to recycle the nitrogen

#

you should get it

#

it only costs $45,000usd

#

Only

#

yes only

#

thats like 1/5th a years wages

#

You do realize where I come from 42 thousand is lots of money

#

How much money do you make what the fuck

north crow
#

remember to also get a sennheiser he1 for optimal game audio

prime jasper
#

I thought minimum was 140,000 a year...

north crow
#

only 60k

prime jasper
#

Uhhh no?

#

how do you live off 60k a year?

#

We manage lmfao

#

my car insurance is like $1300 a month

north crow
#

no no, the he1 is 60k

prime jasper
#

oh

#

I should buy that

#

sounds fancy

#

I bought 3

#

just incase 2 break

#

@prime jasper what kind of car do your drive a freaking bugatti ?

#

No a 93 lebaron thats missing a door and a hood

#

also a windshield

#

lol thats 1 hell of insurance 75 euros month Seat Ibiza from 2017 lol

#

unexperienced male driver

#

in the US

#

dam that is expensive dam

#

for liability alone it was $375 at the cheapest

#

but drivers ed here said that they wouldnt accept the insurance

#

i stopped paying those bills, I figured its cheaper to work from home

#

then it was to have a car

#

yea I can Imagen quick calculation 1300x12 = 15,600 dollars a year

#

you can buy a Fine ass PC from that 😛

#

I have a fine ass pc

prime jasper
#

specs ?

prime jasper
#

niceeee

prime jasper
#

Its ok... It could be a lot better

#

its pretty low end

wet wharf
#

me crying.. with my i5 4950, Ram 8gb and 960

#

*GTX 960

prime jasper
#

lol got an I7 not sure what kind 16 GB RAM and AMD 380x

#

so your machine is pretty high end if I look at the specs

#

we all have low end

#

its not x299 with quad sli volta

wet wharf
#

man 1080ti is high end

prime jasper
#

titan v exists

wet wharf
#

isoutdated

prime jasper
#

Yes very

wet wharf
#

I only saw is outdated after i post it.... sorry! xD

prime jasper
#

its close enough to modern

fiery aspen
#

are there still issues with the titan v?

#

cause i remember there was a linus tech tips video and they tried out blender and a bunch of other applications and blender crashed

#

but then again thats different from gaming

prime jasper
#

Well considering they arent for gaming or rendering, yes. But they are slightly better now since nvidia didnt think anyone was stupid enough to buy a $3000 card for gaming.

fiery aspen
#

Lul

#

I wish I could use the ai compute performance to compute my renders in blender

#

I wonder how gpu based lightmappibg in unity would be with a titan v

#

Compared to top end amd stuff

#

Considering it uses Radeon rays

prime jasper
#

I dont use titan vs for that, i use them for bot creation

#

so I cant tell you

prime jasper
#

400 ping on a local server

#

and this issue has been on going since the repeal of NN

turbid verge
#

First world issues

prime jasper
#

I have net the third world calls slow

#

because its about as abundant as what they have

#

2 days a year its on, the rest its off

prime jasper
agile rain
#

@prime jasper Your internet is poop sad

prime jasper
#

i know

#

charter is screwing me hard

#

Now Im in the process of trying to get them to say racial slurs on twitter

prime jasper
#

lol

prime jasper
#

Overclocked my 1060 a tiny bit

prime jasper
#

That's a nice improvement

lofty light
#

Very nice improvement

strong breach
#

”Tiny bit” kapp

lofty light
#

I tried overclocking my 1080, only got around 5% improvement before it started getting too hot and downclocking sad

prime jasper
#

my s8+ almost got the black screen of death

#

it just shut down

#

with the blue light and nothing worked

#

WEll its time for an new phone

latent sentinel
#

"gpu restrictions"

fiery aspen
#

How much vram?

prime jasper
#

I would just leave it on

latent sentinel
#

12GB

prime jasper
#

umm

#

you have a titan xpp?

#

vram not dram

#

vram is video random access memory, its whats on the graphics card

latent sentinel
prime jasper
#

ahh

#

so you do have a titan

#

I always have to assume that they don't since thats a super high end part

#

yeah it doesnt matter if its on or off, I just leave it on because it's not like it'll use the entire thing and I'm at 11gb vram

latent sentinel
#

ah kk

#

i was hoping it would help with the cutscene jittering

north crow
#

the only thing that helps with cutscene jittering for me is to switch to dx12

#

which causes other stuttering, but at least I can watch the cutscenes

prime jasper
#

That might not work on a titan

north crow
#

no idea, but I'd give it a try, helped on my 1080 ti

prime jasper
#

dx12 requires the game dev(dice in this case) to code in the card manually

#

so something like a titan xp is kind of obscure in the consumer market, xpp not so much

#

my titan v cant do dx12 to save its life

#

then again those I never got for gaming, but for AI learning

prime jasper
#

Whats up with bf1 i have performance settings and all that gibberish turned to max
with i7-8700k and gtx 1080ti im barely getting 144fps on 1080p

fleet gale
#

Do you have dx 12 turned on ? Do you have vsync turned on ? Latest drivers ? Power plan set to performance ? Post a screenshot of msi afterburner overlay when you are in game

prime jasper
#

no and no, latest driver also. performance settings are all turned on.

#

@fleet gale

fleet gale
#

Something holds back your gpu

#

Hard

#

Its only at 51% power instead of 99%

prime jasper
#

Well it isnt my psu i have 750w and both cables separate

fleet gale
#

If you have those components then something is wrong somewhere

#

3.7 ghz ?

prime jasper
#

4.7ghz it always shows the normal

fleet gale
#

Alright

#

Temps are ok too

#

This is weird

#

Do you have any other game installed ?

#

When I have problems in some games, i fire up Witcher 3 as its the best benchmark imo. If you have 50% gpu usage there as well then its probably a malware that hinders the performance of your gpu. I recommend Malwarebytes and run a full scan

#

@prime jasper I have to get some shut eye. Let me know if you managed to solve your issue. DM me with the problem and the solution, your case is interesting.

prime jasper
#

Yea i will try to solve it @fleet gale

fleet gale
#

-thumb up-

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper cpuz the specs then link dxdiag to me.

#

I actually do this stuff for a living, so I should beable to figure out whats going on within a timely manner

limber salmon
#

slight upgrade on the left side monitor

#

went from a 720p fat ass Tv to a Benq V2410 Eco

#

it's pretty old but got it essentially for free

#

traded in my old cpu cooler and built and setup my step bros pc

prime jasper
#

only 3 monitors?

limber salmon
#

I can't fit 4

#

getting a new desk setup on friday tho

prime jasper
#

only 4?

#

get back to me when you have 32 4k 144hz monitors

#

then I'll be impressed

#

because you just shit wrecked linus

winged tapir
#

@iron canyon pls show them how to deal with monitors

iron canyon
winged tapir
#

perfect

prime jasper
#

5 times Discord, how though

iron canyon
#

Eeeeh... internet
(Chrome)

prime jasper
#

only 4?

iron canyon
#

4?

#

How many did you have?

prime jasper
#

I have 16 currently

#

Not all plugged in at once

#

but still

iron canyon
woven flame
#

I only have 2 monitors

#

RIP

prime jasper
#

I got 2 and that's fine for me

woven flame
#

mood

prime jasper
#

2 isnt enough

#

you need 1000 4k 144hz monitors

quaint topaz
#

@prime jasper feelsmeowman

#

(cus you pinged me in OP this morning)

prime jasper
#

You're welcome, @quaint topaz 😘

prime jasper
#

Found out why these were so cheap

#

Unmarked clearance sale

prime jasper
#

I need a larger desk. 2 pcs and 5 monitors is kinf of a lot

limber salmon
#

just ordered that audio interface @prime jasper

#

That's the Scarlett Focusrite am I right?

prime jasper
#

yes

#

thats what I have exactly

#

I bought it in a bundle with an at2035 at a decent discount

#

this dp cable that came with the monitor is short

#

I have to move my desk around

prime jasper
#

Is memtestx86 better than mdsched.exe?

#

@prime jasper

#

My windows installation is randomly freezing

#

Thought it was the motherboard, just replaced it

#

still freezing

#

I have brand new RAM, CPU, and a Cooler

#

no mdsched.exe is basic, memtest86 is indepth

#

Okay

#

I need to rule out RAM

#

is the ram fully plugged in?

#

yeah

#

power cabled?

#

wtf

#

RAM doesn't need a power cable?

#

What kind of RAM are you using 0.o

#

no im talking about all the issues that can be happening

#

Oh

#

yeah

#

Everything is plugged in tight

#

I had a similar issue happen to me a few days ago, the solution that fixed it was remove the processor, plug it back in, but thermal paste on it then install the cooler

#

I did that lol

#

When I got my new mobo

#

or well, returned it

#

do it again

#

then a third time

#

and a fourth

#

then use a hammer

#

...

#

no but seriously just keep it in mind

#

Ok. Any other suggestions? Other than the RAM diagnostic

#

Someone said my GPU could be starting to die

#

I fucking hope not lol

#

what card?

#

EVGA 1060 6GB

#

i doubt it

#

remove all overclocks

#

memtest disk check

#

just do all the basic stuff

#

I already did a disk check

#

The SFC /scannow right?

#

clean install of windows?

#

Yeah it's a clean install

#

windows repair?

#

Repair doesn't do anything. "There is nothing to repair"

#

switch the ram chips around?

#

Yup

#

Well if there is any RAM issues I'll probably see it on memtest

#

Also the CPU is brand new. It's an 8700K. So I doubt it's that.

#

to an extent but yes

#

is the cpu in the correct direction?

#

Yeah xD

#

The freezing is COMPLETELY random mind you

#

I could be playing Garry's Mod and it'll freeze, or I could simply just be typing something on Discord

#

I can't reproduce it

#

otherwise I'd figure out what the issue is pretty fast lol

#

there is a lot of things can that cause it

#

Yeah :/

#

have you tried hitting the pc to replicate it?

#

yes

#

serious question

#

I shook it just now

#

nothin

#

Like I said, completely random

#

then its software

#

That's what I figured lol

#

but what software think_spin

#

My event logs are nearly clean

#

Well, correction

#

psu might be going bad

#

It's a brand new PSU

#

what mobo?

#

forgot to mention that

#

what brand of psu?

#

ASUS Prime Z370-A, and the PSU is an EVGA Supernova 750 G2

#

hmm

#

did you update the bios yet?

#

Not yet, I will in a second

#

but uh

#

There's this in my event logs

#

Idk if that has something to do with it

woven flame
#

It seems like a software issue rather than a hardware issue

prime jasper
#

it could be a ram compatibility issue

woven flame
#

Try running it off a tails linux boot

prime jasper
#

The RAM appears to work though which is the odd thing

#

I can be playing Arma 3, a CPU, GPU, and RAM instensive game

#

and it won't freeze

#

but I can just be typing on Discord and boom it'll freeze

woven flame
#

Did you try running a different OS?

prime jasper
#

No lol

#

I really don't think it's a hardware issue

#

If it is, it has to be the RAM

#

The only issue I have is finding the software that's doin dis

#

the compatibility doesnt mean it wont work

#

it just means its unstable

#

My RAM is a Patriot Viper 4

#

It's max clock is 3200 MHz with XMP enabled ofc

#

know them well

#

remove the xmp

#

It already is removed

#

I don't have it enabled

#

Its running at like 2100 MHz atm

#

you just said it was

#

I said its max clock is 3200 MHz w/ XMP

#

Not that I have XMP enabled

#

oh

#

was it doing it with the OC?

#

Yeah

#

still without the oc?

#

For some reason Turbo ain't doing what it's supposed to do.... my CPU frequency is sitting at 4.3 GHz and not fluctuating like it should be and yeah

#

it only fluxtuates when it needs it

#

4.3 is more than what most apps need

#

ah

#

I wondering if it's the Corsair iCUE 🤔

#

Now that I think of it, my computer hasn't frozen since that program has not been running

#

disable it

#

Other people have reported it lagging their PC

#

also update your bios

#

icue is trash

#

but I use that software to keep track of my temps, and it allows me to adjust my Pump/Fan RPM

#

that is true

#

well

#

umm

#

try it without?

#

Oke

#

btw @prime jasper are all of my processors cores supposed to be synced on a frequency?

#

or are they supposed to be independent 0.0

woven flame
#

They're independent

prime jasper
#

depends on how you set it in the bios

#

I have it set to auto per core

#

but uh

woven flame
#

That shouldn't be happening then

prime jasper
#

I know 0.0

#

Hang on lemme update bios and go see if I can fix it

#

auto tends to do that in hw monitor

prime jasper
#

updating bios didn't do it

woven flame
#

@prime jasper Try installing Tails on a USB drive and then booting off that

#

See if it still freezes

prime jasper
#

if its happening at random then that wouldnt prove anything

#

it could create a ton of false positives

#

LOL

#

so uhhh

#

My D drive, which houses most of my programs, is 95% fragmented

#

That would be the issue LOL

#

wow

fleet gale
#

Anyone else playing with G-sync here ?

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper How though? Defragmentation of stations is enabled by default in Windows 10

#

Not sure lol

woven flame
#

@fleet gale I have GSync

prime jasper
#

@fleet gale I have a few monitors with it, I tend to not have it on though.

rich ivy
#

hows the g503 wire?

prime jasper
#

one second

#

I have a g402 and a g503 in my closet

#

let me grab them

rich ivy
#

well google shows the g503 wire as braided so it should be similar to g403

prime jasper
#

its not

rich ivy
#

the right hand side one

prime jasper
#

its thicker and heavier for one

rich ivy
#

on the g503?

prime jasper
#

yes

rich ivy
#

well did it ever cause any drag issues?

prime jasper
#

braided cables also catch on things easier

#

Yes all the time

#

which is why i went g903

rich ivy
#

yeah, the last braided cable mouse i had was the G5 years ago lol

prime jasper
#

the g402 also catches on things

rich ivy
#

i had to "shape it right" to make it not fall behind my desk since i didn't had any bungees

prime jasper
#

I made a bungee which helped a fairly small amount

rich ivy
#

do you use them with a bungee?

#

kk

prime jasper
#

with and without

#

do the drag issues are like bad bad

#

but because I am super sensitive to that stuff, it bugged me

rich ivy
#

I see

prime jasper
#

I get off work after 20 hours of tech support

rich ivy
#

well that's what they have in stock in my shops, the g403 wired

prime jasper
#

everything pisses me off

rich ivy
#

they stopped stocking on g403 wireless for some reason

#

and act like g603 is its successor

prime jasper
#

g603 is good

rich ivy
#

isn't it AA batteries only and doesn't have the cable recharge mechanic?

prime jasper
#

nope

#

wait

rich ivy
#

here

#

it does

prime jasper
#

actually I might be thinking of the g703

rich ivy
#

yeah

prime jasper
#

right after I said it I remembered the g703

rich ivy
#

anyways its a downgrade from g403 so they just sell that and act like its an upgrade because the number is bigger and stopped supplying g403 wireless T_T

#

and of course they also sell the g703 for $100

#

with that lightspeed mechanic which I wont use since i don't have that $100 mouse pad

prime jasper
#

g903 you can get for $100 on newegg anbd amazon a lot

#

I have that mousepad

rich ivy
#

the g903 shape isn't for my hands

prime jasper
#

its fucking amazing

#

how so?

#

its a pretty standard shape

rich ivy
#

i bet it is, but dropping $200 on a mouse hurts the wallet heh

prime jasper
rich ivy
#

it doesn't look like a shape I'd like? not sure how to explain it

#

buttons on both sides right?

#

i rest my hand on the right side of the mouse all the time and it would bother me

prime jasper
#

no its ambidextrious

rich ivy
#

my grip is claw mixed with palm too

prime jasper
#

the buttons can be put on there if you want

rich ivy
#

oh sweet

prime jasper
rich ivy
#

if it came bundled with a recharging pad for $150 deal i'd get it but it's a bit pricy atm for the budget lol

#

looks nice

prime jasper
#

I got the bundle for $180

#

g503 is a great mouse

#

also

rich ivy
#

which one do you use as your main?

prime jasper
#

g903

#

I work long shifts and come home to game

#

than get pissy at the cable

#

saves me money to just buy this and never care

rich ivy
#

yeah lots of praise for logitech's wireless tech

prime jasper
#

honestly Idont notice much of a difference in latency

#

and I notice the difference between 144 and 240 fps

#

which most wont notice

prime jasper
#

So I've been running memtest86

#

And its about to pass its 3rd time

#

And the CPU passed diagnostics

#

So its software related but which freaking software

prime jasper
#

iCUE is the software.

olive hazel
#

Anyone ever have their USB 3.0 slot stop working? Mine just died and idk what the problem is. My rear 3.0 slots work but not the front.

prime jasper
#

Check your case connector cable. Mine is a fat blue one that plugs into the movo

#

Mobo

#

It might've unplugged itself

prime jasper
#

Does double NAT make the game more laggy?

#

I have to use the ISP Modem + router combo to access the internet and I can't enable bridge mode

lofty light
#

I've got that combo too @prime jasper, I came from the G402 which had multiple months of battery life so I don't feel I'm missing much other than the extra thumb buttons

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper Submit a bug report to corsair.

#

@prime jasper Technically no, you lose out on buffer device which does though. A lot of thing can cause a laggy network.

#

@lofty light its amazing isnt it?

lofty light
#

It's real nice, had some troubles with the fabric mouse mat however...

prime jasper
#

I use the hard one that it comes with

lofty light
#

Yeah same now

#

Took some time to swap over, but it seems alright now

prime jasper
#

I dont like cloth pads at all

#

mostly because of how dirty they get

lofty light
#

Yeah, that's why mine stopped working I think 😛

prime jasper
#

Looks like I'm going to have to ask the ISP to send a modem so I could fix double Nat

#

I think youre using double nat wrong

#

double nat is when you hide a modem behind another modem on your network

#

to create a second network

#

a router+modem wont create a double nat

#

I'm using Google WiFi to connect my laptop to the internet because it's too far away from the router

#

why not get an extender?

#

they arent that expensive

#

lol I should have went with that

#

I think I have an old one somewhere in the garage

#

go with a mesh web

#

The Google WiFi devices are in mesh mode

#

I know, but you dont have a router that supports it

#

google fiber doesnt even give you one that supports it

#

Ah I see

#

I think I will just buy a long ass ethernet cable to play games lol

#

that wont help

#

Even if it's directly from the router to the laptop?

#

signal degradation

#

happens with long ethernet cables

#

if its far enough that youre having signal problems. the ethernet cable will probably be too long

#

Your most optimal is to make an AI mesh network

#

or

#

do what I did

#

if you have a coax cable connecting to it, use an m2m adapter and extend it that way

silk echo
#

any thoughts on the 29UM69G-B?

prime jasper
#

let me check my database

#

I dont deal with ultrawides personally because I hate them

#

so

#

bunch of issues

#

it says 75hz but you most likely wont get that

#

panel has a "high failure" rate

#

aka normal bs for IPS panels

#

I wont put my opinion in there because as I said, its bias

#

I can just give the data I have

silk echo
#

Wait, High failure rate?

#

What do you mean

prime jasper
#

ips panels have weird issues with backlight bleed, dead pixels

#

etc

#

The panel is not good for FPS games like BF, because its response times are shite

silk echo
#

Yeah but how bad is the "High failure rate" thingy?

#

two hours later

prime jasper
#

its more about lg panels having just bad lottery issues

silk echo
#

But does it like mean Dead pixels n stuff like that?

prime jasper
#

well thats just an issue with IPS panels

#

they have high rates of dead pixels

agile rain
#

Think of all the frames in BFV ❤

prime jasper
#

@agile rain I'd recommend you hold out for a 1070 or 1070ti if you can, because they would smash BFV even at 1440p, and 1440p is really nice.

#

I have a 1080 and play everything at 1440p and it's the best. 4k's nice too, but not practical in terms of framerate with current hardware.

wet wharf
#

guys and grils

#

should I wait 1 more month for grafics cards drop?

#

or there is no use

#

what do you think?

#

I was trying to wait for 11 séries (to get a 10 xD)

prime jasper
#

@wet wharf Everything I've seen recently would lead me to believe that the 11 series chips are still a while away. 10 series cards have been going for decent prices more often recently so just jump on a good deal if you find one.

wet wharf
#

yeah, I have been checking the prices for the last 2/3 months.. and it got down more than 50€

#

also RAM got cheaper

#

xD

#

I will probably buy the game

#

** PC

prime jasper
#

Yeah just go for it. I upgraded my 1060 to a 1080 a couple months ago and I'm extremely happy with it.

wet wharf
#

I will go from a 960 tp 1080 xD

#

960 isnt bad... but is starting not to handle very well the recent games

#

also my processor is "old" i5 4500

lofty light
#

@silk echo I had an LG Ultrawide IPS monitor and it was alright for BF, not the best obviously and you've got to luck out with the panel as phthinein said, but I loved it

#

Went to the Acer Predator X34P now to replace it so I'm in for a pound now

silk echo
#

But if i have warrenty, it should cover it, shoudnt it?

#

I want an ultrawidescreen tho

Depends, mainly on how whiny you want to be 😛 I've had plenty of stories of people complaining and getting a replacement monitors multiple times over from Amazon, but it depends on the retailer

silk echo
#

So i shouldnt go for it?

lofty light
#

I really like ultrawide, I can't go back now

silk echo
#

I shouldnt go for the IPS monitor then?

lofty light
#

If it's cheap, I'd go for it as I love the colours

silk echo
#

Yeah but if it will fail 24/7 then whats the point

lofty light
#

It won't?

silk echo
#

You and phthinein suggest that it does

#

so you got me worried now

lofty light
#

The fact of the matter it, it'll work but there's a reasonable chance there will be a fair amount of blacklight bleed in the corners. Funnily enough my LG panel was the best one I've ever seen, let alone had for bleed, but as long as you're not viewing a lot of dark scenes it won't be a big issue at all.

silk echo
#

I dont mind backlight bleeding at all

#

I have a 10 year old monitor so im hella used to it

lofty light
#

Fair enough 😛

silk echo
#

So i guess ill go for it

lofty light
#

Give it a try, I definitely enjoyed mine

silk echo
#

Im not going to "give it a try" i dont have the money to buy a new monitor if this one fails

#

if im buying it its going to stay here for min 5 years

lofty light
#

So long as you have a warranty and you don't care overly about the reaction time difference between it and TN then it'll do you well

prime jasper
#

Warrenty doesn't cover dead pixels

#

Just keep that in mind

#

Or we'll when it's only a few

sour ivy
#

@agile rain dont get a single fan card

tardy basin
#

does anyone know what instruction sets Frotbite 3 utilizes?

#

SSE4.2/AVX/AVX2

silk echo
#

So that monitor is a no go by your books? @prime jasper @lofty light

prime jasper
#

Its honestly up to you

#

Monitors are major risks when you buy them without trying them, much line chairs

#

I'd suggest seeing if any local stores have them

#

toy around with them

#

I dont like ultrawides because I find it hard to see everything on the screen, plus most competitive games don't actually give you that extra fov, it just stretches. CSGO how ever just puts ugly black bars to block off the rest of the screen

tardy basin
#

I use a pg348q

#

and only game I play that stretches is Overwatch

#

you'll probably see that with most FPS games

#

but most games these days other than FPS games support 21:9 / higher res

#

have very minimal bleed

#

and 80hz, couldnt get mine to 100

prime jasper
#

I use a 21:9 and its fine in comps, it's when you get past 2560x1440p

tardy basin
#

pg348q is 3440x1440

prime jasper
#

like 2560x1080 you'll see issues and stretching

tardy basin
#

again, only seen the stretching with fps

#

and youd notice right away if its stretching

prime jasper
#

thats what I was talking about

#

competitive games

#

like FPS games

tardy basin
#

just google for the games you play if they support 3440x1440 native

#

but @silk echo id wait til sept/nov if youre planning on getting an ultrawide now

#

they are starting to pus hfor the next update to these things i.e. higher refresh rates and resolutions

#

most of these 34-35 inch ultrawides have already dropped 100-200 bucks in price in the past 2-3 months

#

theyll drop a bit more by then as well making way for the new ones

prime jasper
#

battlefield supports it because it's not a competitive game

#

hence forth

silk echo
#

So i will prob hold myself till black friday

prime jasper
#

smart Idea

silk echo
#

the price is just too high to buy it right now

#

also ill prob go for the 34UM69G

tardy basin
#

be careful with black friday

#

they do the same shit with monitors as they do with tvs on black friday

silk echo
#

Define "same shit"

prime jasper
#

depends on the retailer, some sell open boxes as new

tardy basin
#

like they make models specifically for black friday

silk echo
#

huh

prime jasper
#

Umm

tardy basin
#

lets say yo usee a samsung tv

#

4K tv 120hz

silk echo
#

I doubt Israel does that as we dont give a shit about black friday

tardy basin
#

55 inches

#

on black friday you look up deals on that tv

#

and hey $300 off

#

its being sold as the same model

#

but its actually a shittier version of that tv

prime jasper
#

Black friday is for stock clearing

tardy basin
#

used to be

silk echo
#

Pretty much

prime jasper
#

Still is

#

I deal closely in the tech industry with retailers

#

Some retailers will "misship" a product

#

samsung is just a shady company in general so dont use them as an example

silk echo
#

I doubt Israel retailers will do that tho

tardy basin
#

you're not the only person that deals closely in the tech industry with retailers =p

#

im surprised you guys aren't aware of this in regards to TVs on black friday

#

from an nbc article, one of many examples you can find on tons of reports about blac kfriday deals

silk echo
#

Never knew that

tardy basin
#

These limited edition models are called “derivative” products. Sometimes the manufacturer simply gives an existing product a new model number. In other cases, they make changes to the current model in order to hit a lower price point. For example, a TV could have one less HDMI input or use lower quality parts.

prime jasper
#

Never trust NBC articles

#

ever

tardy basin
#

"one of many examples you can find on tons of reports about black friday deals"

prime jasper
#

They have a tendency to produce news just for views.

tardy basin
#

this shits been known forever

#

Everyone produces news for views.

prime jasper
#

The making a new model number isnt a new thing

tardy basin
#

you know who else produces news for views

#

anandtech

#

cnn

prime jasper
#

that happens not just for black friday

tardy basin
#

prime jasper
#

My site doesnt

#

we get like 8 views a month, all from very specific people

tardy basin
#

yeah me neither

prime jasper
#

Out of the 500 TVs I've gotten on black friday, yes I literally mean 500

silk echo
#

So i should be very carful in black market? got it

prime jasper
#

Ive never gotten one that was bad

tardy basin
#

yeah kartov

prime jasper
#

or the wrong product

tardy basin
#

you should be careful with black friday

silk echo
#

Thanks friends

tardy basin
#

these arent bad

#

they are lower quality

silk echo
#

Any thoughts about the monitor i said im going to pick up tho?

tardy basin
#

you're like taking the extremes from everything I'm saying to meet your own argument

#

what was it the X34 predator?

#

pg348q / x34 are like the most popular for gsync / freesync, never seen anyone complain much about them

silk echo
#

No, the 34UM69G

tardy basin
#

I avoid LG monitors

#

because I'm pretty sure htey have paid trolls on all UW communities

#

but they could be good =p

prime jasper
#

$1000 for a monitor... And it doesnt even have a cup holder

#

fuck that noise

silk echo
#

it doesnt even make you a breakfast smh

prime jasper
#

yeah, I guess I should buy a girlfriend since you can also get them in ultrawide

prime jasper
#

Does anyone know if they have displayport 1.4 installed?

#

Kartov is broke

#

thats $270 more

silk echo
#

^^^^

tardy basin
#

$200

#

and come black friday

silk echo
#

I couldnt care less for 144hz

tardy basin
#

theyll be even closer.

silk echo
#

my CPU is half dead

prime jasper
#

I can get the 34UM69G for $300 if I shop around

tardy basin
#

I can get the one I linked for $500 if I shop around

prime jasper
#

or free if I get one from walmart

silk echo
#

Well the taxes in Israel are fucking over the roof

#

so i doubt ill find one in under 300

#

the min is 350

prime jasper
#

I can get a 34uc79g-b for $440 actually

tardy basin
#

does EA ever comment in this channel

prime jasper
#

no

#

dont ping them, dont message them, pretend they aren't there

tardy basin

I am relaxed, I'm just telling you what the mods will also tell you

This is also not tech related

tardy basin

anyone rocking skylake-X that plays any game that runs on Frostbite 3 which I think is BFV and BF1

prime jasper
#

So move that to off topic

#

I have a skylake-x

tardy basin
#

devs of game = tech

#

have you set avx / avx512 offset for your oc

prime jasper
#

devs of a game=people not tech

silk echo
#

So cough cough

#

the monitor, it doesnt have any dead pixels problems?

prime jasper
#

I dont use my skylake-x to game

#

it's 16 cores

tardy basin
#

every monitor can have dead pixel problems

prime jasper
#

that would be stupid

tardy basin
#

thats why you buy new

#

ok phtinein

#

I think im done here

#

I appreciate your total confidence in your knowledge of 'tech'

#

but you're seriously ridiculous

#

worst iamverysmart vibe ever

silk echo
#

Yeah but phtinein said that the old monitor i was looking at had high failure rates

prime jasper
#

Seriously, there are only a very small amount of Skylake-x chips for gaming

#

most should not be gaming as they OC very poorly

tardy basin
#

they don't OC poorly

prime jasper
#

Skylake X had no reason to exist.

tardy basin
#

They require better cooling

#

skylake X has a big reason to exist

#

consumers just don't know about it

prime jasper
#

lol explain

#

And if I want to get my 16 core to 5.0 I need LN2, I have it at 3.8 on custom loop

#

and its still gets toasty

#

the kaby lake-x had no reason to exist

#

skylake does

tardy basin
#

high speed high core count cpus are needed in certain markets

#

and 16core to 5.0 yeah you need ln2

#

youre being nonsensical

#

its a bad overclocker because you cant hit 5.0

prime jasper
#

I'm not though

#

I'm being serious

#

Threadripper 😎

tardy basin
#

uh a CPU being a bad overclocker has to do with how much you cna overclock it from it's turbo speed

silk echo
#

can you cough cough please answer meh question

tardy basin
#

16core is just a worse binned 18core though so you're right about itn ot being a good cpu though

silk echo
#

the 34UM69G-B , it doesnt have any dead pixels problems?

prime jasper
#

the ones on x99 and x299 marketed towards gamers are either A) Worse 8700ks B)A more expensive 7700k or C)minor improvment that doesn't justify the massive price increase

silk echo
#

well every monitor has that, but you get me

prime jasper
#

One example is the 7800x which is just a more expensive and inferior 8700k for gaming

#

with which processor?

#

I was saying before LG panels had a high rate of dead pixel issues

#

just in general

#

not that monitor specifically

#

As I was saying, it's entirely up to you, on if it fits your needs. there are better ones that I would say go for, but they are also substantially more expensive.

tardy basin
#

Kartov,

#

looking at LG dead pixel policy

#

their max # dead pixel allowed b4 warranty is double that of ASUS

#

so you would likely see more complaints about dead pixels on LGs and I would also guess LG expecting higher amounts of dead pixels with their panels

#

unless they are just too lazy to deal with unhappy customers / warranties

#

but its probably because their panels are actually lower quality

#

but also explains LG's lwoer prices

prime jasper
#

Asus uses samsung panels which tend to be higher quality

#

in most cases

tardy basin
#

the problem is if you get dead pixels on your LG

#

you're pr much DOA because youd have to be Really unlucky to have 12+ dead pixels

#

but ASUS / Acer / whoever else its like 4-5 pixels for their warranties

prime jasper
#

I have a dead pixel on my XF270HU, it's annoying but you dont really notice it

#

can you spot it?

tardy basin
#

bottom left?

prime jasper
#

nope

tardy basin
#

then no

prime jasper
#

marked it

#

a single dead pixel as I said, is annoying

#

but it just tends to blend in with everything

#

and after time its not noticable

#

on a 1440p monitor

Astro A40 TRs for PC

Currently i use 2.1 speakers and im wondering if its worth buying a pair of headphones for the pc to game on

quartz canopy

I think so, yeah

especially the Astro A40 TRs with Mixamp

#

Or go wireless and get the A50s

golden raft
#

Alright i'll check them out, ty for the info =]

quartz canopy
#

You're welcome happy

#

I prefer the A40s with Mixamp though, since you can customize the sound however you want

lofty light
#

Definitely worth the headphones, if you get surround ones you can hear the direction enemies are

prime jasper
#

@golden raft if you're on PC get an actual pair of headphones, not gamer ones. Open back preferred and a DAC. Its way more expensive but the quality matches the price

#

I have a lower end set up, AKG240+Scarlett Solo

So, questionn to anyone who's good about computer parts and selling junk.

#

How much would you price a computer with an i7 2600, a gtx 970, a 265 gb SSD, a 2TB HDD, 1600x900 monitor and 8gb ram at?

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper Put starting price of 400$ and the min price i would let it for would be around 300$
the monitor is prolly worth around 10$ or something

#

just my assumption what the price is around

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper I actually own a shop. tell me the brands of the ssd, the HDD, the ram(also its speed), and the motherboard. Also the case. The 970 might be better off selling on its own

#

I'd also need to know the brand of the 970 and the model

Can't suggest anything when you don't specify what the issue is woahtea

@prime jasper I'd still prefer the looks of the panel than the ability to play tbh

prime jasper
#

yeah

#

either way

#

if anyone was curious the difference between IPS and TN

turbid verge
#

IPS basically has more alive colours compared to TN

#

Its good for maybe to work with image and stuff and video stuff I guess

lofty light
#

And it just makes me feel great looking at it

prime jasper
#

asked which was better for post scriptum on the discord, got called a troll because they knew nothing about tech >.>

#

I'm going to be sticking to the 240 hertz monitor for Bf1 anyways because shaving a few MS does help

lofty light
#

It's not good for gaming, but I always look at it that I should just play better to make up

prime jasper
#

Well

#

to be fair this IPS is an acer predator

#

which is designed for gaming

turbid verge
#

Tbh its bit of choice imo

prime jasper
#

it also has one of the lowest input lag and response times on the market

turbid verge
#

But ips and 144hz isnt cheap or easy to find

prime jasper
#

ips is lovely for games

#

$400 IPS 1440p 144hz

#

i switched from ips to tn for 144hz and the first thing i noticed was that the wallpaper didnt show as much as detail as ips did

#

While technically not cheap, that is cheap for what that is

turbid verge
#

I used to use my 1440p 60hz ips monitor then made that one my secondary. Now my main is a TN 1440p 165hz gsync

#

But from ips to tn is a bit downlgrade but I got used to it

#

400$ aounds avout right but still bought mine with a prime discount for like 360€ thats almost the same peice in dollars if Iam not mistaken

prime jasper
#

something like that

#

but that sounds like a sale

#

just like this xf250q I bought that was for dirt cheap

#

I got it for 1080p 144hz price

turbid verge
#

I mean finding a monitor 144hz and gsync and 1440p for that price is not everyday

#

At here in EU

prime jasper
#

nor here

#

thats a good $600

#

unless its that dell panel

#

sd something

turbid verge
#

Oh it is

prime jasper
#

ok yeah thats a tn panel and goes on sale for around $400 a lot

turbid verge
#

Idk about US but in here checked around on other amazons and sites rarely found any or something similar to it on sale or with the same specs

#

Thats why I went for it

#

Still worth it. Actually enjoy it as my main screen GWkazuOuO

prime jasper
#

is yours a 24 or 27?

turbid verge
#
  1. For two reassons, first because Iam used to 24 inch and other is because it was a good deal
prime jasper
#

yeah

#

this for $400 a lot

#

which is just the 27" version of the 24"

turbid verge
#

Doesnt mean the fact in the future I wont buy a higher inch version

#

Yeh

prime jasper
#

its the only gsync 1440p monitor I know that goes that cheap

turbid verge
#

Same

prime jasper
#

I opted out of gsync if you cant tell

turbid verge
#

I can see the difference a bit but sometimes I dont ever notice or most of them

prime jasper
#

Well Im also using halo tier gaming stuff

#

so gsync is just kind of a waste

#

when without gsync its cheaper and exactly the same as the gsync version

turbid verge
#

Yeh

prime jasper
#

that being said I'm waiting for gsync 2 to release before I buy a 4k 144hz panel

#

gsync 2 supports HDR

manic vine
#

@turbid verge there was a acer predator 1440p 144hz /160hz OC g-sync monitor in the prime deals yesterday for £329

#

Can't remember if it was the 24 or 27 inch version

lofty light
#

The Acer Predator X35 is eventually going to be released, and I'll be VERY excited for that day

prime jasper
#

So, High refreshrate Low res monitor, Or Low refresh and high res?

#

Or both 144hz and 4k

#

i just need a screen with excellent color accuracy and res

rotund pendant
#

1440p 144Hz IPS perfect

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper youd want a 1440k 144hz with a ips panel, but after the month long testing I've been doing, competitive fps games don't like ips panels since the blacker blacks and more accurate colors cause enemies to disappear into the map a lot.

manic vine
#

agree completely, an IPS looks better and even though they still have the 1ms response time I would still pick a TN panel for gaming, the greyness/faded colours helps players stand out more. Particularly those in darker areas

prime jasper
#

yeah its weird how a better panel is worse for games like bf

agile rain

there are also 8gb rx580s running around for less than $300

#

I see them pop up for like 220-250

agile rain
#

yes but the 1060 is more powerful even with less vRAM

#

Plus I really like Nvidia's fast sync option which throws out any frames that exceed the refresh rate but without input lag from vsync

not that much more powerful

Unfortunately Nvidia cards come with more features such as gameworks stuff. I dont like Nvidia for their practices but their cards are A1

true

#

but the goal here is to save money since you need to pay for those meds you need

#

In the end I still pay $300

#

Most the 8gb versions are still 300

prime jasper
#

yeah but they still go on sale a lot

#

plus used cards are a thing

agile rain
#

I want new

prime jasper
#

picky arent you

agile rain
#

Kinda. I mean I got my 960 used but from a irl friend

Guys this might be a nooby question but can I split my USB microphone (just the mic, not a headset) between my PS4 and PC?
