10400f, 10700k are BY FAR the best value right now for CPUs

well they can choose 5800X or 11700K

10700k > 5800x >>>>>>>>> 11700k

A 5600x can be compared to a 10700k so it’s not bad

How easy is it to switch out a graphics card on laptops? My laptop has a GeForce MX150 which isn't that great. I know it depends on the laptop, size of it, and many other factors, but generally speaking is it possible?
supple bane
its never possible

Does anyone own / have any thoughts on sennheiser hd400s ?
Looking at picking some up along with my keyboard
molten bramble
Does anyone own / have any thoughts on sennheiser hd400s ?
I've never had a bad pair of Sennheiser earphones (and I've had a lot of them between production environments to home studio; AKG as well), though I prefer the open-ear designs versus the closed-ear.
solar kestrel
molten bramble
Personally, I'd go for the HD560S or HD660S myself. That's just me, but it's a substantial price difference as well.
supple bane
wtf... yeah if i had the money for a pair of 400 pound headphones i wouldnt be looking at 40 pound ones would i lol
molten bramble
I have no idea. You might just be cheap.
How are we supposed to know that? You didn't state a budget number.
storm osprey
ive not personally heard them myself, but i know its a meme in the audiophile community that sennheiser cant do closed back headphones
molten bramble
ive not personally heard them myself, but i know its a meme in the audiophile co...
That might be the case. I've only ever used them for their opened-back models and look to Bose for over-ear closed-back.
supple bane
well i guess you should infer that by my considering something at that price, i would not be willing to pay for something 10x as much
if my budget was 400. i wouldnt be looking at 40 pound headphones is my point
molten bramble
well i guess you should infer that by my considering something at that price, i ...
I infer nothing and in the pins here we note that folks should specify. This is a transmission problem, not a reception problem.
supple bane
hmmm. ok. sure.
molten bramble
Yup.
Anyways, what I was going to mention was the HD559 which is a wired open-back for $99.95US (don't know what that comes out to in pounds).
That's their entry-level model I believe for that type of quality listening.
The other thing I like about Sennheiser is that they don't use cheap, squeaky plastic in the ones that I have used.
Unlike say this pair of wireless HyperX Cloud IIs I use for mobility around the house.
storm osprey
EU used to get crazy good prices on sennheiser stuff compared to usa years ago, i wonder if thats still the case
molten bramble
If you can swing the price, the AudioTechnica ATH-AD900X is supposed to be damn good. I believe that's the same headset Summit1G uses in fact and at $150, that's not bad.
supple bane
OK this part is my fault but I probably won't be using these with my pc fyi, its going to be a phone thing
molten bramble
Ah
supple bane
For when I'm lounging on YouTube or what ever, hence the "im spending 40 pounds not 400"
molten bramble
So you need Bluetooth then?
supple bane
No
supple bane
Its gonna be YouTube, netflix and very occasionally music
molten bramble
Sometimes you can find REALLY GOOD deals on older clearance models of Bose w/ or w/o noise-cancelling for over-ear/closed-back listening.
supple bane
I'll have a look, I've still got 3 weeks till I'll be picking them up
molten bramble
I've seen some of their prior models for as low as $60US
storm osprey
I'll have a look, I've still got 3 weeks till I'll be picking them up
i assume no IEMs or on ear headphones? and noise isolation is a priority?
molten bramble
Where are you currently searching? I found a set of studio-quality brand new AKGs on Facebook marketplace for dirt cheap last week.
supple bane
I'm looking on uk retailers atm
I'm gonna get something new, I don't fancy used headphones
molten bramble
No, these were new, in-box. Hell, they were probably hot, but they were super cheaply priced.
Speaking from personal experience--when my phone had a port, I went with a cheaper wired model of headphone. And kept cycling that process every so often until I spent more money than purchasing the premium headphone that I likely should have saved for/purchased in the first place. Be careful about cutting to too basic of a model--most important thing for me in that price point would be the padding over the audio (because for that price, you're not going to have superior quality for listening). If it is too hard or too soft, it can detract from the usage. Also, you don't want to find yourself annoyed by plastic creaking when you turn your head or chew or anything.

im thinking about reinstalling windows tbh but idk if its gonna be hard. anyone have a brief idea of how long it would take me ? or does it depend
storm osprey
30 minutes top
molten bramble
It can depend on your setup. I think the fastest I've done a complete wipe/installation is about 40 minutes to include networking, etc.
Notably, I wasn't paying attention to the machine the entire time.
storm osprey
ah yea, to get everything back to normal like drivers etc can take some time
also depends if you are doing a factory reset or a CLEAN format and reinstall
molten bramble
I actually need to do that soon, everything is a bit of a mess on this system now.
storm osprey
i just do factory resets every year or 2
proud trellis
installing drivers is fine because ik how to do it. i want to just wipe everything
storm osprey
to what level do you want to wipe everything?
factory reset will wipe everything pretty quick
if you want to do a thorough job it takes a while especially with a clean format
imo, unless you are selling i would just do a basic factory reset
proud trellis
something that full on removes the OS and reinstalls it because i think my windows install is fucked
i think i have a USB that has windows on it already
when i reinstalled it ages ago
storm osprey
depending on how you go about it, factory reset doesnt require that
proud trellis
does a factory reset install new windows tho ?
i want to do whatever gives me fresh windows files
storm osprey
near rune
You can install windows again or do a factory reset
proud trellis
install windows again
near rune
Then you just need the installation tool on a usb and boot from it
storm osprey
reset pc - "... and then reinstalls windows"
storm osprey
storm osprey
again, unless you are selling your pc, this is what i would do
near rune
Well that just goes thru the basic stuff like setting up an account and etc
storm osprey
at worst if that doesnt help like you think it should have then yea, clean format drives and do a clean install of windows to see if that helps
proud trellis
i hope it does help
so factory reset is just 5 clicks and then i just sign in like i have just got the pc ?
just sign in and make a password etc
storm osprey
i dont remember all the steps but yea its the most straightforward

thats about 320 usd
Oooouuuu not to bad actually
weak girder
The 2060 is even more powerfull <:OMEGALUL:562440529573576714>

gpu prices being wierd
but this tells me gpu prices are going down

hey derek

Hey Derek

Hello

rtx 2060 for 2800 hkd
modern gull
but this tells me gpu prices are going down
Probably
modern gull
If that is 320 USD its not to but i'd say
weak girder
considering it was 8000 hkd 1 week ago
modern gull
considering it was 8000 hkd 1 week ago
modern gull
Btw Derek did you sort out the helmet?
opaque saddle
$29XX
Nah not yet
I can wear a bike helmet but I would rather not
I don’t like foam
I mean the one from the cheap helmet
weak girder
Ill wait around a bit to see if the 2060 prices drop more
modern gull
I mean the one from the cheap helmet
Oh i see
opaque saddle
Up to you matey
modern gull
https://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=444762
380 usd isnt too bad tho ngl
weak girder
thats not 380 usd
opaque saddle
Yeah
modern gull
opaque saddle
modern gull
Thats what result i got atleast
modern gull
yeah forget what I said
modern gull
gtx 1650 super is very reasonable
Doubt that price is worth the performance
opaque saddle
Don’t go for 1650S
weak girder
oh no Im not gonna buy it
lul
I was just curious
its like 5 fps more than my current card
opaque saddle
I think 2060S will be better for the price
opaque saddle
Since you are paying 100-150ISH hkd
modern gull
2060 is 320 and s is 380 usd
Probably about 10% diffrence in performance for 60 usd
opaque saddle
Hmm depends on which brand you’re getting
weak girder
2060 is 320 and s is 380 usd
I was wrong 2060 is 370 approx
modern gull
Ah you thinking gpu bost etc... i suppose
modern gull
I was wrong 2060 is 370 approx
Oh
modern gull
I was wrong 2060 is 370 approx
Then you take S easy
weak girder
yes
opaque saddle
Yeah
Anyway if you go to Golden Arcade, I think you can ask for a discount
Like to get 50 HKD off
modern gull
Idealy you would want a 3060 at msrp, would cost about the same actually.
opaque saddle
Well if they’ve stock
weak girder
wooooow
weak girder
out of stock
modern gull
500 usd lul
modern gull
Ah i see
opaque saddle
They aren’t cheap tho
modern gull
Kind of like a skate helmet or something
opaque saddle
Yeah exactly
modern gull
How much are they usually?
modern gull
opaque saddle
You forgot shipping
modern gull
I have had head injuries before
Perhaps you should get a pretty good one, if head injuries havent fully healed.
opaque saddle
Do it can be around 75-80AUD with shopping
modern gull
You forgot shipping
Oh ya ofc, but dont you have some sort of local shop you could go to?
opaque saddle
Well overpriced lol
modern gull
lul
opaque saddle
I have to get a bag as well so I can get on the bus
modern gull
For the scooter?
opaque saddle
Yeah
modern gull
Oh you are not allowed to bring it on?
opaque saddle
Coz I cannot go to uni but I can ride downhill
modern gull
Here we can bring even bikes on the buss no issues
opaque saddle
I hoped so
modern gull
Coz I cannot go to uni but I can ride downhill
Oh ya i see
modern gull
-50 km/h
opaque saddle
So meaning every 100cm I walked, it will be up 33cm
modern gull
33% is pretty steep
opaque saddle
Yeah I can’t ride that steep

Cpu's are different then gpus or consoles
Also amd is nowhere near producing more 6000 series
weak girder
The upcoming Nintendo switch may comes with DLSS
how good is it gonna be
latent light
They are definitely producing more RX 6000 GPUs than they were at launch because they literally only had like 20 available in each country for launch lmao
weak girder
huuh
opaque saddle
Coz AMD have ordered a certain amount of 7nm wafer (that makes into GPU or CPU chips)
latent light
AMD has most of TSMC 7nm allocation
turbid verge
They are definitely producing more RX 6000 GPUs than they were at launch because...
Thats 100% false
opaque saddle
AMD have allocated too little for their GPU
turbid verge
opaque saddle
Consoles are still in high demand tbh
Not as high as before, but it will be sold out within an hour or two after the new stock has arrived
turbid verge
Yep the thing is with the amount of demand both have actually sold more then they expected
The issue here is still the semi conductors where the factories are still running at 100% to make them
opaque saddle
My local retailer gets those consoles every 2-4 weeks
turbid verge
But still chipmakers got wait for their batch of supply before putting it on the pcbs
latent light
TSMC, Samsung and Intel are starting to build fabs like crazy but it takes 3-5 years usually to build a fab
turbid verge
Literally got my own bot setup to track 3070 up to 3080 and 6800 and 6800xt
opaque saddle
I reckon the demand will still be really high in a year time
turbid verge
From my alerts normally running amazon EU plus my country and the neighbour country
latent light
Nvidia has trouble keeping up supply with GA102 chips, they definitely produce way more GA104 because of yields of Samsung
opaque saddle
I’m so glad that my 2070S is still in good shape and I have no need to replace it anytime soon
turbid verge
Used to get least each card a day alert now barely get any sometimes a 3070 or a regular 6800 at most lol
3080 and 6800xt last I got was 5 days ago
weak girder
I’m so glad that my 2070S is still in good shape and I have no need to replace i...
you dont have to replace it for at least the next 2-3 years
turbid verge
@opaque saddle wouldnt evn mind a super series but gonna keep mine for now
Not gonna dive into amd gpus either cba with their gimmicks and trickeries while handling it on work load
opaque saddle
Coz the reason I told people to get a more powerful GPU is because it will be more likely a single card can last for 5 years or more
latent light
Some are speculating that miners will persist in demand well into the next generation
opaque saddle
I meant XX70 or 70S/Ti level
latent light
So could see chip shortages for another whole year or even 2
opaque saddle
Not only miners
turbid verge
Anyone
opaque saddle
Miners can get as many as they can afford
turbid verge
Yeh but still people will fight to get them
opaque saddle
Like if I’m a rich miner, I can pay for 1000 of them every month
And all those stock goes to me
opaque saddle
And the demand will still go up high
turbid verge
Literally anyone
latent light
Nvidia is cooking up some new GPU that uses HBM2
opaque saddle
Yeah
latent light
1.55 TB/s memory bandwidth
latent light
Apparently miners will be able to get their hands on it too
turbid verge
Most likely for servers or renderings or calculations or simulations
Knowing nvidia those cards arent cheap like the quadro ones
opaque saddle
remember Nvidia released a 1060 5GB version for the Chinese Internet cafe market?
turbid verge
Even for a 210MH/s card if it costs like 4-5k$ not worth lol

amd's LAST gen top of the range cpu, has the exact same SCP as intels current gen top of the line, and double the performance in multi core
like literally the benchmarks ive seen if the 11900k has a relative scp score of 100% the 5950x would be 99<x<101

fallen harbor
anyone have recommendations for video settings when you have a 1660 gtx with a i...
which i5?
im imagining 8400 or 9400
bf has nice input times in general
so 60fps isnt bad
and im almost sure you can run the game on solid 60fps and 1080p on medium settings
i have an rx590 which is just as powerful as a 1660 and i can run it on 90fps on high settings (with an i5 8400) but as far as im aware, bf games are a lot better optimized for amd cards than for nvidia cards for some reason
fallen harbor
yeah
supple bane
I'm fairly sure bfv is one of those titles that runs better on amd

does apple actually make their own cpus?
quick locust
They design them
fully custom
They switched to their own and is leaving Intel as you know
TSMC is the foundry for them
storm osprey
welp glad i sold mine a while ago
supple bane
well, you say that but its taken what, 7 years for this to happen
storm osprey
i wonder how common this is too
supple bane
yeah it could be that the examples that have starting doing this had damaged/bad/worse batteries, and most of the others will last for another 7 years
we dont know
raw turtle
so 60fps isnt bad
Not bad until you try 144hz
fallen harbor
why would you spend money on a 144hz monitor while having a mid tier computer
what are you even trying to achieve by saying that
raw turtle
Dawg I got a 200hz monitor with a 570
fallen harbor
so you either like wasting money or having 200fps on 10 year old games
the later is somewhat valid i suppose
raw turtle
I’m upgrade to a better gpu at some point which is why I have a 3600 rn
fallen harbor
so this has nothing to do with the point of the matter then
raw turtle
I get 120fps on MW, smooth 200 on bf4 and on r6, smooth 144 (capped) on titanfall 2
Gtav runs on basically highest settings 100fps
fallen harbor
Gtav runs on basically highest settings 100fps
yeah i dont buy this shit
sounds like somebody that is just trying to justify their poor investment decisions
raw turtle
sounds like somebody that is just trying to justify their poor investment decisi...
Never said it was a good decision bro
@fallen harbor https://youtu.be/NWytTrSqR3A
R6 runs at 200 fps fine and I use TriXx boost too which helps FPS
I’m also using TriXx boost to improve FPS
supple bane
Logitech g513. its basically confirmed thats the one im going for at this point
supple bane
ik. IK!
wait, did you even not recommend it?
only thing i cant decide on is what switch to get it in
supple bane
ive never said that
proud trellis
oh
supple bane
i have a choice of blue, brown or red
and its kinda between blue and red at this point
storm osprey
are you kidding me?
supple bane
wat
storm osprey
granty...
supple bane
wat?
storm osprey
BLUE SWITCHES?!
supple bane
here we go.
proud trellis
dont logitech use their own switches ?
storm osprey
yes
proud trellis
well..make their own
supple bane
sadly,
storm osprey
though these arent the romer g like youre thinking they are
supple bane
you can get both
storm osprey
and id be fairly certain they are just outemu/kailh/gateron manufactured
storm osprey
i thought they only have gx switches now?
supple bane
oh so GX is not romer G?
storm osprey
afaik they ditched romer switches because of the stupid proprietary stems
supple bane
if that is the case, then yes it only uses GX switches
storm osprey
this is romer g
proud trellis
the GX blue i think it is sound rlly nice. i think i saw them in a video i watched when i was looking for a keyboard
https://youtu.be/ppvu53DXs30 yeah it is GX blue
supple bane
this is romer g
when i watched the review on the keyboard that was the stem style they had
supple bane
Austin thought fondly of the different stem
because there was less woble from it being much wider
storm osprey
maybe at some point the romer g switches were on a g513
all i say is make sure you dont get romer g switches
supple bane
why is that
storm osprey
you cant swap keycaps with a romer g switch
supple bane
i dont plan to
storm osprey
they are literally only compatible with the switches that come with the keyboard
supple bane
well the thing is. i may not even be able to get it if it doesnt stay on sale.
rn its 50 pounds off. if it goes back up to 150 pounds its too much
storm osprey
but yea, blues are the selfish choice
storm osprey
yea they feel nice and sound cool, but just about everyone but you will hate them
idk what PTT is
storm osprey
ehh, im talking in your house as well
supple bane
i see
storm osprey
blues are LOUD
supple bane
top left and bottom left are romer G. and the other two are GX
but the GX tactile is the only one still on sale. so if it remains that way it will be the one i get
storm osprey
most enthusiasts like tactile
supple bane
im not against any of the keys
i like the satisfying experience of a blue, i know what a red feels like and id describe it is "solid" and a brown is something ive never tried and willing to give a shot
storm osprey
get rid of the CLICK of a blue and thats a tactile switch
supple bane
im aware
storm osprey
dull the sharp click feel
supple bane
thing im worried about is it feeling like my current membrane
storm osprey
though theres literally hundreds of switches and there are some sharp tactile switches
supple bane
because i would describe the k55 as a dull click
and i hate it
ik its a membrane, but its like no membrane i have used
storm osprey
idk about gx browns, but cherry/kailh/gateron browns are basically a slightly better membrane
supple bane
its VERY tactile for a membrane.
and compared to the clean and sharp feeling of my cheap outemu blues, it just feels horrid
man if only i could try a GX brown to see if i liked it
fuck you covid
storm osprey
yea sadly its all a matter of preference
my preference for tactile switches is hated by a lot of people that like tactiles
i like a bump, but not a "Hey im a fucking MOUNTAIN you have to press to get over".. i just like s little feedback while im typing, linears just feel hollow to me
supple bane
id say getting a red or a blue is a safer bet for me because i KNOW i like using them. Its just from what i have seen only browns are the ones that are still on sale
and i really dont want to get my 100 pound keyboard only not to like it
storm osprey
yeaaa, even getting a switch tester wouldnt tell the whole story since thats only a single switch
supple bane
i dont even know anyone IRL that has a brown keyboard that i could give a whirl
storm osprey
how long is it till you can buy?
storm osprey
lol wtf
supple bane
was at full price for 2 months, starting july
then in September it was on sale again and has been since
storm osprey
i thought you wanted TKL
supple bane
ik, but this is just perfect
i couldnt find anything TKL that really fit the bill
youre gonna hate me for this. but the main drawback to the hyper x keyboard was the lack of RGB 
well more that it was only red, id rather it have no lights at all than be stuck on red
supple bane
pretty much what i imagined you looked like throughout this convo tbh
storm osprey

guys, i have a very odd problem with sound in game. i use bt headset with my laptop, and listen to music while playing, in main menu BFV everything fine, until matchmaking finds team for me, after that all sounds are gone and only way to fix that is to switch playback device in Windows from my headset stereo to my headset Hands Free AG Audio, which is shame cause sound quality is very poor. Anyone familiar with that problem?

if i had a bad windows install could it be messing up all my other storage drives ?
fallen harbor
i imagine a bad windows install could bring up multiple very varying kinds of fuckedupness
proud trellis
im reseting my pc on the weekend to hopefully fix it
storm osprey
why wait till the weekend? the factory reset takes like 30 minutes tops
proud trellis
because i still have to do homework and if i reset i will loose all my logins and work

I reckon DDR5 desktop will usually equipped with either 2 of the ‘8GB’ or ‘16GB’ of ram by default.
lofty light
Wasn't there a prototype where the DIMMs only needed 1 to do dual channel?
So you just add one stick and get the full speed
latent light
4GB and 8GB are common for DDR3 and DDR4 based general PCs but for DDR5 we could see 16GB and even 32GB become common for general non-gaming PCs
32GB gonna become common for gaming PCs with DDR5
32GB should be the new sweet spot for gaming in a couple years
digital hill
maybe 64gb
opaque saddle
Wasn't there a prototype where the DIMMs only needed 1 to do dual channel?
I have looked at up the news before but what I was referring to, is to make it running in quad channels mode with two sticks
latent light
No reason for consumer motherboards to have more than 2 RAM slots if each slot supports dual channel
lofty light
And gives more room on mini itx if they can get away with 1 stick
opaque saddle
I think it will be more reasonable embedding a single stick on ram on to the logic board

yeah a d day map would bite dice in the ass. its a win lose situation. if they made it accurate then the history buffs would love it but the people who play for fun would hate it. but if they make it less, yanno, getting killed on a beach over and over then the history buffs would complain whilst the people who play for fun would be happy
supple bane
plus as seb said its been overdone to hell
weak girder
it doesnt rly change from game to game
supple bane
AND it wouldnt really fit into BF's structure. it would basically only have one objective on breakthrough and no idea how it would work on conquest
weak girder
yep
the reason iwo jima works is because the japaense side doesnt have big hills to swoop the us side
supple bane
well they changed iwo jima to have loads of cover on the beach to make it possible
destroyed tanks, sand banks etc
but thats what i meant in my above message
if they was to make it accurate then it would just be a beach with no cover at all
but if they made it fun it would just be like iwo jima.

You cpu is below minimum spec and your gpu is minimum spec,
So poor performance is to be expected
weak girder
cpu is a lot more important in bfv

Well the GPU is technically minimum but the CPU will definitely be the bottleneck, bf games in general completely overload most CPUs
