Behold, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti: Drawing on my vast reserve of historical knowledge, I can tell you that the "Ti" at the end of that name ostensibly stands for "Titanium." Look a little closer at the specs for this product, though, and you'll notice that it might as well stand for "Titan."
oh you beat me to it

but generally speaking means "this is the shit to buy" because it came out later and has better performance/$

you couldnt have been more perfect @steep gust ..... well if you are talking to me that is

There is no advantage to MacOS when it comes to productivity

"i cant stand using apple macs, THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A LEFT CLICK!!!" what? yes it does lmao
steep gust
Also what a terrible design for a mouse
pale wren
just laugh my ass off , they last time my friend told me you have a Virus on your IPhone
flint locust
Oh i never used the default apple mouse.
supple bane
but no, you have to hold down ctrl and press left click on a apple mouse
steep gust
You do realize MacOS is not the safe haven people think it is?
pale wren
no one force you to use default
steep gust
and viruses for MacOS exist
pale wren
i said for iphone
steep gust
Hell viruses aren't generally a threat anymore, dumbasses will fall for phishing emails all the time
pale wren
also @steep gust you can build you own MacOS
flint locust
Viruses are only less common because less people use mac os.
pale wren
You only need a Gigabyte Mainboard
steep gust
No?

And costing only 2/3 the price
steep gust
Zen 2+ or whatever is not required to work on AM4
AM4 was promised to 2020
not end of 2020
latent light
they confirmed it will be supported on 4th gen
considering 4th gen is just a refresh of 3rd gen
steep gust
So Zen 2+
but not Zen 3
You'll get slightly better clocks
and Zen 3 will get AM4+ or AM5

Zen 3 could be 5nm
TSMC already finished manufacturing 5nm fabs

i have the cloud stinger
molten coral
Cloud II are super comfy
storm osprey
@quaint topaz only headset i back is sennheiser pc37x
otherwise i recommend headphones and attachable/desktop mics
quaint topaz
Comfort is what I'm looking for
storm osprey
sennheiser make incredibly comfortable headphones
quaint topaz
I had the Bose QC 35 II but they killed me. Too much pressure and I have TMJ
Had to replace them with the ATH m50x
storm osprey
and on the topic of the comfort, open back headphones are way better at keeping your ears from getting sweaty
and typically have better sense of space
i live in az, so my hyper clouds were definitely sweat inducing
quaint topaz
Yeah I want open back but they're too expensive
storm osprey
you can get cheap open backs
ad 700x is highly regarded in the gaming community, they are comfortable as well, and they are usually around 100 bucks
sennheiser hd 598/599 can be found for around 100 bucks at times, and i think euro gets the cheaper than america last i checked
under 100 usd theres philips shp 9500 and superlux 668b
i will say that the hyper x cloud (first ones) i had were solid, and are not a waste of money, but theres just better to be had
quaint topaz
i need good earcups for my ATH M50X can ya'll link me some?
grizzled apex
Sounds like a bad audio cap possibly
Or the game audio files may be broken. Try running a file verification
supple bane
nope
grizzled apex
It’s got to be a bad file
storm osprey
thats what i would assume
supple bane
i mean it isnt constant
it will come on for 5 mins randomly and then go away for a week
grizzled apex
Just verify the game files in origin, if not, you can probably report this as a bug
supple bane
i seem to be the only one who has the issue tho, so i doubt it would get fixed
also excuse the bad aim hehehe i couldnt concentrate as my ears were bleeding
it is so horrible to listen to
prime jasper
have you tried different speakers/headphones?

Whats the primary benefit of PCIe wifi modules over usb?
storm osprey
id imagine better hardware and signal
most usb wifi stick i see are just sticks, and protrude out of your case
where a pcie wifi card is pretty clean besides the antennas sticking out of the back
so what do you value more, the convenience of a stick, or the power of pcie
minor turret
thanks, leaning towards PCIe because of bad experiences with sticks
only reason i didnt buy before was shitty driver support for ryzen
storm osprey
ahh
minor turret
and intel has a near monopoly on pcie cards
storm osprey
a stick could actually be better if the wifi signal has to travel through you case
so depends on placement of your router relative to your pc
minor turret
every decent pcie device has an antenna sticking out behind
storm osprey
right, but the back of the pc could be on the opposite side of the router
minor turret
true, but using wifi stick on frontpanel seems sketchy too even if it was better placed
storm osprey
right, thats where you just gotta weigh pros and cons
minor turret
wifi -> usb frontpanel -> mobo header seems to have a lot of places to fail if you want a stable connection
i wouldnt use gaming mouse on front panel due to bad experiences before
storm osprey
personally, id drill holes to get ethernet if you can
minor turret
would if i could
especially since there are dozens of wifi networks using same channels which is absolutely enraging
storm osprey
i personally bought a 100ft cable to router through my house to get wired connection
minor turret
one wifi for burglary alarm, another for printer, another for fire alarm, another for cameras, one of each apartment, neighbouring houses using huge antennas for wifi
its a shitshow
thousands spent on gear zero on qualified labour
storm osprey
yea i would really want to get wired if you have a lot of congestion
i dont even have a lot of signals around my house, but i still went wired, its just way better
grizzled apex
WiFi pcie cards typically have MUCH better range. I have an intel PciE wireless card and it kicks ass even though my router is on the other side and down 3 floors in my house
storm osprey
id imagine it depends on a lot of variable, including quality of receiver and router
i got a cheapo pcie card just to go through a room away and it was usually at low signal strength
grizzled apex
I believe it is an intel AC1750? Could be wrong, got it for like 50$ on sale at micro center
storm osprey
yea mine was like 30 bucks not on sale, so lets assume youre was way better xD
i just spent 15 bucks on 100 feet of cable and called it a day
grizzled apex
But it’s a good dual band card
storm osprey
yea mine was single
grizzled apex
The problem is our house is so old we have land line going to the third floor
Dual band cards are damn good
latent light
@grizzled apex did you decide on which 1660ti
storm osprey
msrp 1660ti
keep it under 300
imo once you get to 300 might as well as save for a msrp 2060
latent light
yeah
storm osprey
atm i would lean towards the msi ventus, but i hear ventus and armor are shit coolers, but idk if that was shit on something more power hungry or what
minor turret
all dual band cards are intel cards rebranded
from what i can tell
killer whatever has their own inferior version but generally more expensive

Amazon has a good concept but they have become so powerful to the point they are repeating history from the 1900s

I’m just worried the 1660 ti will get bottlenecked
storm osprey
by?
storm osprey
ehhh but not really
iirc a something is really considered a bottleneck if its over 10%
this says youre at a 12% with a 4790 (idk what cpu you have) with a 1070, which is basically a 1660ti
im over 20% with my 4790 and 1080 xD
but im also at 1440p so idk how that factors in
latent light
1440p becomes the bottleneck for your gpu lol
storm osprey
right, so my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu at 1080p, but since 1440p is more gpu intensive id imagine my bottleneck isnt that bad
storm osprey
we get nothing is perfect, but whats better?
steep gust
There is always a bottleneck
always
The best way to do is the generic
look up benchmarks
Find people with similar rigs, ask questions, use the wonders of the internet
storm osprey
yea not convenient
steep gust
Its also pretty easy to logically do
Don't pair a low end CPU with a top of the line GPU
storm osprey
easy =/= convenient
steep gust
and with the amount of reviewers nowadays
Finding benchmarks is easy as shit
You might not be able to find exact benchmarks
storm osprey
which makes that method flawed too
steep gust
but like a 4790 vs a 4770 in gaming is pretty small
or, was in that time
Trying to put a % on bottlenecking using a proprietary system is flawed
My 8600k / 1080 got 0% IIRC, but I know from experience my CPU bottlenecks my GPU in 1080p, and the opposite at 1440p
storm osprey
and scouring similar benchmarks to draw a conclusion is not convenient
even then its flawed
just less flawed
nothing is flawless, you just gotta cut where your values are and go off of that
let alone coming up with my own formula for trying to find a bottleneck
steep gust
If you are spending hundreds of dollars on hardware, you should do 10-20 minutes of research
storm osprey
i do hours of research for just about anything over 50 bucks
but thats just me
thats where my values lie and the time im willing to commit to it
if someone wants good enough, a bottleneck calculator is a good spot since the person who programmed it obviously went through some work and logic to put some sort of system out there
vs the "good enough" person, just grabs whatever someone tells him
prime jasper
I can tell you from experience 4th gen was POWERFUL, 4790k does not bottleneck a fucking 1660ti nor bottlenecks a 1080ti
If it actually did, then all of ryzen and threadripper is absolute trash
Because hasewell still murders all of ryzen on single core
Hell. in games my 4790k beats my 7980xe
Now tell me, how the FUCK can 4th gen bottleneck a 1660ti
You'd be surprised what ddr3 can do still
Also a good way to find a bottle neck, specially now, take both cpu's, put them on 4 cores no HT or SMT, and go into bfv on low 720p
You'd be really surprised then
latent light
saw a Dell Optiplex 9020 with a i5-4690, 8GB 1600 MHz ram, 128GB SSD + 500GB 7200 rpm HDD, W10 product key for only $120
throw a low profile 1050Ti in it and sell it for $50 profit
grizzled apex
Plus the reason I have to get the 1660 ti amazon because I don’t like using my debit card for purchases larger than 100$ online
latent light
you buying on amazon?
grizzled apex
So I will use the cash to buy a gift card and get it that way
Yeah. I’m not very trusting of online purchases especially on a debit card
latent light
just get the XC black or the XC gaming, no 1660Ti is worth $300+
grizzled apex
Credit I could care less about
Oh yeah, that’s a no brained
I’ll probably order it tommorow but I got to be safe
steep gust
if you are paying 300+
grizzled apex
Because I really don’t like to buy things online
steep gust
Then buy a 2060 or a 2070
latent light
^
grizzled apex
No, I’m paying 280$+ taxes
A 2060 is like 350$ and that’s before taxes
Besides, the 1660 ti is basically a 1070 with less cuda cores but has a good clock increase and has much more effective architecture and GDDR6 memory
That’s 100$ less than a founders 1070
steep gust
The gains from Pascal to Turing in efficiency were more from memory than architecture
GDDR5 is old af
grizzled apex
Which is more what I’m interested in. 3gb of VRAM sucks
Especially since most games use 4gb or more
Battlefield 5 alone uses about 6
Or 5, can’t remember
grizzled apex
Also apparently the gtx 1070 uses 110 watts more than the gtx 1660 ti holy shizen
steep gust
yeah that sounds flawed even if you count overclocking
Most 1070s will cap out at like 225-250w even when overclocked
latent light
is there 1070s with more than just an 8-pin connector?

latent light
@grizzled apex the black or the gaming?
forest token
btw, the rtx cards have an amazing x264 encoder from what I have read
supposed to be the best encoder available including cpu encoders
main reason why I regret getting a 1070 ti 
warm junco
I don't even know what that is, so I probably won't miss it lul
quaint topaz
New NVIDIA drivers are available
Includes support for DirectX Raytracing (DXR) on GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (and higher) and GeForce GTX 1660 (and higher) GPUs

Why does this keep happening when I queue for squads in firestorm?
MATCHMAKING FAILED
An error occured when trying to fetch your squad's information.
grizzled apex
@latent light just the black. It’s the cheapest on amazon
I don’t tyically buy things online unless they are under 50$. I’ve beeen scammed multiple times and my bank every time told me to 😂😂😂😂 off
latent light
scammed on ebay?
latent light
can't get scammed on newegg
grizzled apex
Got a 80$ power supply and it ended up being the wrong one but they kept telling me it was the either one and they can’t do anything about it
latent light
unless you bought something and they gave you the wrong model of the item
grizzled apex
The picture and the text were both wrong and I though the item in the picture was going to be the right one
When in reality it was the item description that was the right model number
supple bane
so bf 4 was on sale for 4 pound i grabbed it heh
grizzled apex
Good deal
latent light
there was a couple reviews on the XC Ultra where they ordered the Ultra but got the Gaming instead
grizzled apex
Dlc on sale too?
latent light
but that was when the 1660ti first came out
supple bane
i think so @grizzled apex
latent light
and newegg didn't have updated pictures of the items
supple bane
how?
grizzled apex
During the promotion for BF1 and BF5
supple bane
oh right
grizzled apex
I mean I don’t get premium but still Shrug
supple bane
apparently it is going to take 5 hours to download 
supple bane
hdd
grizzled apex
What size?
supple bane
1tb
grizzled apex
Btw, don’t forget when you install your SSD to get nvidia to put the shader cache in there. Found this out while playing Rust and ended up getting a 5-15 FPS increase)
supple bane
also yes it is my hdd that is capping me... task manager says that im receiving at a rate of 120 mbs and thats above average for me
omg my pc is hitting the shitter rn
downloading a driver and bf4, it doesnt like me rn i dont think
latent light
what ssd did you get
latent light
WD blue isn't that much faster than a HDD tbh
supple bane
i only want it for the boot times
transferring files dont bother me, im british, ill just go have a cuppa while im waiting
supple bane
its mad that we have to have hydro electric power plants on stand by at 7pm as a really popular tv show ends at that time and everyone stands up to go make tea, so we have to have that extra boost so we dont crash
i think we have like 5 huge power plants ready to surge power so we dont crash
forest token
you can get scammed on newegg, they have third party sellers on newegg
because ???? 
grizzled apex
Idk. I generally don’t like buying expensive things online with a debit card
Especially if they aren’t what I ordered
vagrant quartz
why would you trust a picture over the description though
grizzled apex
How can you trust both?
sick harbor
Does anyone know why in Battlefield that when i look over fast that it changes my primary weapon to my secondary weapon
storm osprey
when you move your mouse quickly, it changes the weapon?
sick harbor
Yeah
grizzled apex
I think I have the same thing, isn’t that a feature?
grizzled apex
16000dpi right there
forest token
try unbinding the mouse scroll to swap weapons and use 1/2/3 on keyboard to swap, can help you to play at least maybe
supple bane
i play 1000 dpi and 6 in game sensitivity
sick harbor
I figured it out go to keybines then to the right of the keyboard you should see mouse keybines and then scroll down to switch weapons in the mouse section and then turn it off your welcome
storm osprey
6/11 , 800 dpi, and i think 4 sens in game
i do a 360 spin in game with a 19-20 inch swipe
supple bane
i dont pick my wrist up off the desk so i have set it up every since i started playing on a kb to be able to do a 180 turn with a full left to right swipe without having to lift my wrist up, so its just bending my hand if you know what i mean
storm osprey
you only aim at your wrist?!
supple bane
yes, i dont pick my wrist up off the desk
storm osprey
ewwww
supple bane
so the only movement i have is by being able to move my hand
so i have can good at picking the mouse up really fast
and moving it in the air
storm osprey
whats your accuracy like in bfv?
supple bane
its a little more than 6 inches but ye its close to that
vernal rivet
i can't hit anything with that speed
180 is like basically pulling the mouse up 2 times
for me
supple bane
thats a 360 for me
storm osprey
dont you want to at least do a 180 in 1 swipe if someone gets the drop on your from behind?
supple bane
^
storm osprey
thats my theory with my settings
supple bane
i can turn on people so well with my sensitivity
vernal rivet
maybe i overshot with my description but i basically am so slow
storm osprey
im super picky on my mouse settings
vernal rivet
pretty sure about that, granty, has to be the killer line for first dates haha
storm osprey
i played OW and was diamond with bad settings, changed them and once i got used to it i started climbing pretty steadily
supple bane
my bf sensitivity is kinda like the default windows sensitivity
thats the best way i can describe it
storm osprey
do you play almost exclusively close quarters?
supple bane
i5 7400, 1060 3gb and 16 gb of 2133 mghz
vernal rivet
i assume u play on low for them fps?
storm osprey
i7 4790, 1080, 16gb ram no idea the ram speed
vernal rivet
what performance do u get?
supple bane
look at the fps counter in the vid i sent
vernal rivet
like average? to both of you guys of cours
storm osprey
i play on 1440p, i play with almost everything low/off
i usually hover around 110 fps
dips to 90, high of 140
vernal rivet
this is really interesting
supple bane
i dip to 50 and high of 80
but i also play on a really high fov, so that kills me with the fps
i could normally be getting over 100
vernal rivet
i did play 1080p on mid/high with an r5 2600, 16gb 3000 memory and a 2060 with around 110 avg
supple bane
but i love having my fov so i will sacrifice some frames for it
vernal rivet
dips to 80 I'd say and highs cap out my 144hz for freesync
yeah i have nearly maxed out the fov too
storm osprey
my fov is at 95 horizontal
supple bane
ye thats what about mine is i think
vernal rivet
my point is, since the last update (not sure if nvidia or origin) my fps got killed so hard
storm osprey
71 vert
vernal rivet
it feels like the future frame rendering stopped working
supple bane
i have a driver to install so i might get a boost from that
vernal rivet
so now i get 1080p, low around 50-70fps. feel like i get the same fps with rtx on and idk what to do
trying the new driver update, maybe that helps
vernal rivet
it does but not really much
storm osprey
granted, i have gsync so i play smooth with it off
vernal rivet
had the 4790k, does the 4790 boost to 4.4?
supple bane
just fyi. i put my stats in bot commands seens as you seem so interested in how i aim with such high sensitivity
prime jasper
@vernal rivet 4790 boosts to 4
supple bane
well my cpu is supposed to boost to 3.5 but it never have seen it go past 3.25
prime jasper
might be a thermals issue
vernal rivet
but honestly i push forward way too high, always run directly into the trouble, get one or two and die
@prime jasper he has the i5 7400
supple bane
@prime jasper my cpu very rarely reaches 60
vernal rivet
@supple bane it does not go higher because the boost is not applied to all cores at once
how do you readout?
supple bane
what is a readout?
storm osprey
@supple bane looks like up close youre accuracy is close to mine, but weapons that are more for range it seems i start pulling ahead
storm osprey
you posted it
the bot stats come from there, you just click the link to go to website
storm osprey
xD
minor turret
future frame rendering is noticeable with bolt actions
i would rather drop some fps over that
vernal rivet
@supple bane i mean how do you read out your cpu frequency
vernal rivet
there you go
supple bane
because i have searched them but like they dont seem realistic to me
storm osprey
i mean, they are definitely above average, but i assume their stats are really padded by having a dedicated squad and probably pocket medics
vernal rivet
i have made the command
storm osprey
like their videos suggest
vernal rivet
ok the readout for playtime does not fit really
origin says 140 hours, bfvtracker 66
supple bane
see on one of his vids he said that he has a few hundred hours played on the game and i would belive that as its his job, but he dosent have a good amount of hours
also
storm osprey
origin tracks total time with app launched
supple bane
thats the time in game
storm osprey
bf trackers tracks in game
supple bane
origin tracks all time
storm osprey
like gameplay
supple bane
spying is always fun
whats mad is non of the youtubers we all hear about like stodeh and jackfrags for example. they are considered to be the crème de le crème
but they are not even on the leader boards
supple bane
because of bf stupid loading times
vernal rivet
true
storm osprey
im ahead both jack frags and stodeh stat wise, and i play solo
supple bane
i play in a clan 50% and solo 50%
storm osprey
wish i had a clan
but then i dont
im stupidly aggressive,and i havent found much people that play like that
grizzled apex
Clans kind of ruined the whole point of the game. The point of battlefield was to play with friends and have fun, not competitively, which is what most of them achieve. I wish I was part of a clan but clans are always power hungry
prime jasper
well without RSP they have no option but to scrim in publics
storm osprey
i just want to play as a coordinated group
but my super aggro play style doesnt fit into that
people want slow paced group play
supple bane
the clan i play in is just like a group of 10 friends, but we dont really play over try hard, like we make call outs and stuff like that but thats it, other wise we just say yep lets go get E for example
prime jasper
lol there aint nothing slow paced when you got a 20 deep clan stack all in comms and attacking in unison
storm osprey
i cant imagine what the enemy team thinks of that...
thats probably what happened in the games where im at like 20k points, my 2nd place teammate is at 10k and the game end 0-400
prime jasper
until RSP itll have to be that way
storm osprey
ehh, i dont play base game anymore
grizzled apex
Another reason I love evga: they package their products very well. The 1660 ti black edition has 3 layers of packageing (bubble then styrofoam, and finally antistatic
grizzled apex
2.75 slots but it makes up with a bigger than (slightly) and a bigger heatsink
Honestly, for 280$ it’s the cheapest most cost effective GPU on the market that’s slightly better (in some games) over the gtx 1070
The evga model uses 130 Watts and performance is next to the 1070 which uses over 70-80 watts more
That’s crazy
supple bane
the 1660ti is better than the 1070 most of the time
grizzled apex
It’s amazing how gpus have evolved in the last 10 years
I remember getting my gigabyte gtx 750 ti 4gb (yes those exist)
supple bane
what you said is more for the 1070 ti
grizzled apex
1070 ti was a joke by nvidia
Can’t believe they actually released that card
If you can afford a 1070 ti, you can afford a 1080
supple bane
or a 980 ti
vernal rivet
the 1070ti is so non-sense. they restricted the oc capabilities because it would easily match up with the 1080
minor turret
you mean factory OC
grizzled apex
Or overvolt
vernal rivet
don't know it exactly
grizzled apex
But then again what is the point
vernal rivet
but yeah at some point the oc is limited as it would compete with their own card
on the other hand voltage regulation is blocked on the whole turing lineupt except some of their founders editions (for whatever reason they left them out)
grizzled apex
You can overvolt the 1660 ti black
Comfirmed by EVGAs website
But then again,
Why
vernal rivet
i got a strix oc 2060 pretty cheap, i know people think the money would be spent better on a 2070 and say the 6gb will bottleneck it but i bet against the mainstream opinion that i will max out on video memory
okay, i talked about the rtx lineup so far, don't know how nvidia handles the turing gtx cards
storm osprey
i really doubt anyone will be bottlenecked with 6gb
not unless they are running 1440p ultra settings
supple bane
holy crap, bf4 runs amazing compared to bf 1 / v
vernal rivet
even then. my friend plays on 1440p and is nowhere near the memory limit. thing is there are some games which load up your memory with textures pretty high, no one doubts that
like SO:TR
@supple bane it should as a game from 2014
supple bane
it still should be a fairly intensive game considering it doesnt look that bad and lets be fair... its fucking bf ]
prime jasper
BF seems to lean on the CPU more lately anyway
supple bane
well i sit at about 150 fps which feels amazing on an fps
vernal rivet
whats your screen refresh rate
supple bane
75
vernal rivet
funny thing is, bf4 has ffr turned on like most games

@prime jasper If you got tech questions go on here
prime jasper
Ok???
supple bane
prime jasper
pulls pc out of pants
torn cliff
They know what they are doing in here
supple bane
we have new comers to the nerd hobbit home
prime jasper
Why would I have any tech questions lol
torn cliff
I have been here for a while bud
torn cliff
Tech questions or just PC things in general
prime jasper
Ah
torn cliff
Along with that only nerds talk here
prime jasper
Anyways, I've been switching from 1440p and 4k, it's rough on my gtx 1070ti
torn cliff
So your a part of us now
prime jasper
So, I need the rtx 2080ti.

vagrant ruin
What's the best price to power ration CPU nowadays for AAA gaming? Got a 1080 to go with it, but its running on a i7-4770 and Im getting stutter in some games
prime jasper
I'm running a Ryzen 5 1600x, I love it
You need a new cpu @vagrant ruin
Seriously
The CPU, is just so smooth, and yummy. uwu
vagrant ruin
Its probably bottlenecking my 1080 but I was sorta broke
prime jasper
Do you only game? @vagrant ruin
supple bane
i would reccomed the i5 8400
prime jasper
No
grizzled apex
Just get a 6700k, still pretty good in 2019
vagrant ruin
"only"?
grizzled apex
Or if your on a budget, Go AMD,
prime jasper
AMD, is sick.
vagrant ruin
idk what's considered budget for CPUs
prime jasper
Some people edit videos, run CAD, or render.
grizzled apex
I’m not familiar with AMD but intel does make pretty solid cpus
vagrant ruin
What are the prices?
supple bane
the 8400 is only £ 170 and
prime jasper
Budget can be any price
supple bane
and it will blow the i7 out the water
vagrant ruin
Yeah but what's like "High End" or "Minimum Required" for most games
grizzled apex
Budget 100-200 decent build 200-300 over-the-top 400-1200
Though a pentium won’t suffice for any game nowadays
vagrant ruin
I think I got around 500 to spend, I'll need a new MoBo too though because I doubt itll fit the socket otherwise
prime jasper
I really hate the price on the rtx 2080 ti, but i heard it can even do 8k.
grizzled apex
RAMs cheap on Newegg,
torn cliff
Dang is this chat getting active
grizzled apex
Just get a gtx 1660 ti
prime jasper
If you only play video games on your pc then go with intel
2600x is hard to beat for the price
prime jasper
Anyways my keyboard is stick, I need a new one, I've wanked on it too hard.
sticky*
vagrant ruin
I paid 760€ for my MSI GTX 1080 because bitcoin was going on at the time
grizzled apex
A new keyboard? Membrane or mechanical
vagrant ruin
I could probably get two at that price
grizzled apex
Don’t go with razer
prime jasper
I was using a cyberpower.
grizzled apex
Anything BUT razer
vagrant ruin
Corsair K95
grizzled apex
I’d go with Logitech or Corsair
grizzled apex
Romer g switches are ok, brown and red are most popular
prime jasper
owo
vagrant ruin
Logi is really high quality but I think they lack in design when it comes to keyboards
grizzled apex
Linear switches are the best
vagrant ruin
Keyboards: Corsair
Mouse: G502, duh
prime jasper
And then I spilled some, damn whiskey on it the other night.
grizzled apex
Just go wireless
prime jasper
Got my shift key fucked.
grizzled apex
You fucked your shift key?
prime jasper
Now It's stuck on run in games.
grizzled apex
😂😂😂
prime jasper
yeah.
grizzled apex
👌
prime jasper

vagrant ruin
I think either my keyboard or my hard drive is starting to give up because lately I've had delayed keypresses and slow input.
idk what thats coming from
vagrant ruin
Ive had the issue that I couldnt press "d" once, it'd always input five or more characters
prime jasper
I got super mad with my keyboard, almost smashed it.
vagrant ruin
but that was a week ago seems okay now
This keyboard I got is a mistake
I think its like 2 years old
prime jasper
What is it?
vagrant ruin
but I wanted a mechanical keyboard but didnt want to spend a lot of money so I got some chinese shit, "Havit" with RGB. Switches are Otemu, design is horrible.
vagrant ruin
Some of the buttons feel different , I like the keypress feel generally but it's low quality. some edges are very rough and the paint is starting to chip off some buttons.
vagrant ruin
Well I would never buy this again, I'd put down those extra 100€ for a corsair now.
prime jasper
Yeah, like damn.
I have a Red Dragon mechanical blue switch otemu. It only cost like 35$ and surprisingly solid
How solid?
Would it be good for like tryhard gaming?
XD
vagrant ruin
Only thing Red Dragon I have is my desk wide Mouse pad its really good.
prime jasper
well I game with it and it tries hard enough lol
vagrant ruin
Then again the complexity of making mouspads is sth else than constructing a mechanical keyboard
prime jasper
Oh, gotcha. I'm a salty tryhard.
vagrant ruin
My Logi mouse has different modes for different kinds of mousepads and it's ridiculous
like if Im missing shots I dont think I can blame my mousepad
vagrant ruin
how do you lose a mouse pad
vagrant ruin
have you looked UNDER your desk
