[supple bane]

After using 144hz tho I couldn't go lower

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

Even if you can't feel a difference, you have a faster reaction time and more up to date information, so nvidas slogan is correct, "frames win games"

[fallow garden]

when I went from 75hz back to 60hz I also felt the difference lol 60hz was laggy ngl

😭

[modern gull]

Vsync off is more than enough for me if i want to reduce input lag

But ngl since i got this screen i play with vsync on

[fallow garden]

Lol

[supple bane]

I just wish I could get a steady 144 fps in bfv, but my cpu bottleneck is too big

[fallow garden]

Whats ur specs

[supple bane]

R5 2600 and rtx 2070

[modern gull]

75hz 1080p

[fallow garden]

yoooo I have same cpu but 1060 , 1060 is low-key bottlenecking r5 2600 isnt it

[modern gull]

Just pulling your leg tho lul

[storm osprey]

but youre at 1440p right granty?

[supple bane]

Yes

And don't tell me cpu doesn't make a difference

[fallow garden]

r5 2600 bottlenecking rtx 2070???

[supple bane]

Because in bfv

It does

[storm osprey]

it is alleviated a bit because of your resolution

[fallow garden]

wtf u mesn

i googled it and it said 0.77%

[storm osprey]

by how much, idk

[supple bane]

I get like 80 fps, my friend on a 9700k gets 120

[fallow garden]

my bottleneck is 7% lol

[supple bane]

Thats a 40fps gap

For 1440p, thats a huge jump

[storm osprey]

that doesnt sound right to me honestly

[supple bane]

Welp

It is

My cpu runs at 90%+constantly

With my gpu dropping down into the high 50% some times

[storm osprey]

in csgo low settings the gap isnt even that big

[modern gull]

Wont get more fps if cpu isnt fast enough to feed more fps

I feel my cpu/gpu is a perfect pair ngl

Like in cs my cpu is to slow lul to get 100% gpu usage

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422598689928773632/823376852495237125/unknown.png

Nvm what i said

Cs probably dont use all cores perhaps

[fallow garden]

yo

[modern gull]

Maybe a overclock could fix that hmm...

[fallow garden]

is 98-99% gpu usage good? while gaming, bc my gpu sometimes runs at like 98%+ while playing bf4

[modern gull]

Yes if that you are using your gpu to full potential

[fallow garden]

Ok so it’s good

Damnn

[modern gull]

Yes

[fallow garden]

That’s noice

[supple bane]

https://youtu.be/B1TDa_h1WTk

[supple bane]

@storm osprey

[fallow garden]

In bf1 my gpu is barely being used tho, and cpu is being used more

[supple bane]

he saw jumps between 60fps and 90, the lowest i saw was 67 and the highest was 102.

so my fps is fine

[storm osprey]

hes on ultra though

[supple bane]

so was i

[storm osprey]

you play bfv on ultra?

ew

[supple bane]

no

i play on low

it was just to prove a point im performing as expected

[modern gull]

Might be cause your cpu isnt fast enough. Could also be that you have locked fps etc...

[supple bane]

so unless my friend here is lying. my point is correct

[fallow garden]

Or because bf1 is cpu intensive

[storm osprey]

he gets more fps than you on ultra than you do on low though?

you vs video

[supple bane]

no

sigh

[modern gull]

Thats one of the things i was saying 😛

[supple bane]

for the test i played on ultra

but i usually play on low

i used the exact same settings as him and got higher fps

[modern gull]

He is even using DLSS lul

[fallow garden]

what’s DLSS

[storm osprey]

if theres such a difference between the same specs/settings with only a swap between 2600 and 9700k thats insane

[supple bane]

like i said, the only possibility is that my friend does not get that high fps

[storm osprey]

sounds like an outlier to me

[supple bane]

but i just validated my hardware performs fine

[modern gull]

Basically renders at lower res and gpu upscales image to example 1080p or any res your monitor has. Which gives you a boost.

[fallow garden]

wow

[modern gull]

DLSS 2.0 looks pretty much identical to native res

[modern gull]

I remember at one point, one of those graphics presets gave me low performance, but dont remember the steps to reproduce, I had to switch to custom i think or something

[supple bane]

that must be an old build of the game tho as it does not have raytracing options and he can use dlss

[modern gull]

Mhm ya

Ngl battlefield 5 looks overall better with SSR vs raytracing imo.

Like the materials seem overly shiny at times. More shiny than they should be i feel.

[supple bane]

there. as i said, same settings except i get more fps

[modern gull]

You are not even using dlss

[supple bane]

so unless my friend does not get 120 fps on 1440p low. cpu does really make that much difference

[modern gull]

I have heard a rumor that bf5 dont use more than 6 cores

So if single core performance is the same and one has 8 and the other has 6, it probably wont make much diffrence. That also includes same ghz ofc

But i am unsure to be honest.

[quick locust]

I prefer running without dlss

Causes some issues in some situations

[modern gull]

Thats ideal if you get a fps you want

Also isnt bf5 using dlss 1.0?

[quick locust]

yea

[modern gull]

If i remember corectly 1.0 looks abit horrible/smudgy ish

[quick locust]

i prefer native except in 2077

since the fps tanks in that with rtx on

[modern gull]

I bet that uses 2.0

[supple bane]

dlss in bfv sucks ass

i took those screenshots from the exact same place a while ago

the top one is ultra, rtx on and dlss on

[modern gull]

2.0 looks really great. mostly identical to native imo. Might be a slight sharpen effect on lowest dlss but not much noticable

[supple bane]

bottom is low

[modern gull]

dlss 1.0

[modern gull]

240p

[quick locust]

Only dlss worse than BFV imo is war thunder

But that game can run on a toaster anyway

[modern gull]

[quick locust]

Running geekbench to see what I can achieve

seem pretty consistent

[modern gull]

[quick locust]

getting slightly lower now than before for some odd reason but w/e

[proud trellis]

so i went on BFV yesterday and it seems i dont freeze when loading into games anymore

wtf

[supple bane]

you have to pay

ew

:(

[quick locust]

for what

[modern gull]

Nice overclock

Is that all cores i assume?

[quick locust]

ye

[modern gull]

Nice

[quick locust]

my acer aspire is rekt by comparison

[modern gull]

Well isnt that a laptop?

[quick locust]

yes

[modern gull]

Oh ya them temps you had the other day

[quick locust]

wasnt mine

[modern gull]

That i dont remember lul, now i do

[quick locust]

and that was 108C on an SSD

lol

i meant i sent it, but it wasn't from my laptop

[modern gull]

I'd cry at 60-70c

[quick locust]

i mean

my laptop ssd hits that easy if used

[modern gull]

My soul would leave probably lul

[quick locust]

but laptops have meh cooling

[modern gull]

Ya they also have all components together so will naturaly be warmer

[supple bane]

how see this screen?

[quick locust]

geekbench profile

[supple bane]

oh those were all your past runs

i see

[quick locust]

yeah

quite a bit over 8700K avg

[supple bane]

my multi core was about 500 points over my cpu average

overclocking stronk

[quick locust]

mine is 2K above

[supple bane]

yikes

[quick locust]

[supple bane]

that 5ghz oc tho

[quick locust]

hits 3700X / 9900K avg

[modern gull]

9900k and 8700k basicaly has the same single core performance

[quick locust]

although TGL and zen 3 beat me by far in single core

even with OC

[supple bane]

the more you look at that image the more confused you get

what is the difference between a geforce rtx 2070 super and a nvidia geforce rtx 2070 super

and why is the 2080 super slower than the 2080

[quick locust]

laptops

[supple bane]

they are both max q

[storm osprey]

i hope people who did this got fucked over

[quick locust]

People that did with with ryzen cpus:

[storm osprey]

its such a selfish act

im gonna guess im biased since i wanted a sizeable upgrade and had to fight these people being selfish and going for 10% increases

[solar kestrel]

Just copped a 3060 50 bucks above msrp

Then I woke up

[modern gull]

Heard i3-8145U had pretty darn nice iGPU, much better than 3090

[solar kestrel]

Wrong

I had an I-3 and my igpu was worse then my gt 640

Cant even watch movies in HD

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

Ngl it’s emberassing

Bouts to steal my friends 1030

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

I’ll trade him

[modern gull]

Wait there is a 1030?

[solar kestrel]

He doesn’t even use his pc that much

Yah a GTX 1030

Something like that

There’s also a ti

[modern gull]

HAHHA probably the i3 iGPU is actaully better

[solar kestrel]

Nope

[modern gull]

But to stop joking around i wonder what gpu the 1030 compares too

[solar kestrel]

The 1030 is like 300% better then what I have rn

And mine is better then an I-3

It’s an ok card for older games

[modern gull]

You do realise i was joking the entire time right?

With the i3

[solar kestrel]

I can’t tell I’m just sad that I can’t watch hd movies

[modern gull]

Wait you cant do that with the 640?

[solar kestrel]

I tried watching 1917 at hd and it would work

[modern gull]

Feels bad man

[supple bane]

Its pretty slow

Not much faster than a gtx 560

[modern gull]

https://tenor.com/view/sloth-walking-slow-slow-mo-asi-cuando-gif-9747136

Btw imagine how fast the 560 was back in the day

I remember having a 260 it was pretty fast at the time ngl

[solar kestrel]

[modern gull]

Wait, Goopy you have gt 640 right?

[solar kestrel]

Yes

[modern gull]

Do you want to see gpu comparison with 260?

[solar kestrel]

Why not

[modern gull]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-GT-640-vs-Nvidia-GTX-260/m7731vs3160

The 640 is great with these

Nice to have in newer games

[solar kestrel]

[modern gull]

Your gpu might not be too bad depending on game i suppose

[solar kestrel]

In newer games my gt 640 wants to hop out of the case and jump into a sink full of water

[modern gull]

Damn

[solar kestrel]

Have you seen my bfv clips

At the lowest resolution and aspect tator

Turn the scaling down to 53%

55 FPS easy

[modern gull]

Woah thats actually not soo bad to be honest

[solar kestrel]

Bruv

[modern gull]

I mean like fps wise lul

[solar kestrel]

The reticle on a a sniper scope glitch out

They don’t show up half the time

Dirt and grass all look like shit to me

[modern gull]

Wait lowest res like 000x000?

[solar kestrel]

Camo makes people invisible

Unseeable

No the lowest the game allowed

[modern gull]

Damn ,feels bad man

https://tenor.com/view/sad-eyes-so-sad-tears-gif-13901135

[solar kestrel]

The game runs like piss for me

Yet I still clap kids cheeks cause I’m just that damn good

27-16

[modern gull]

Damn gg

I have seen you play siege. cant belive you preform that well with low fps and 100+ ping

[solar kestrel]

I get like 60-70 now

But the game looks fuzzy

[modern gull]

!!when Goppy esport?

[silent oasis]

Soon™

[solar kestrel]

Damn well

When I get my 3060

Beulo will fear me

[modern gull]

[quick locust]

kinda overkill for gaming there

[storm osprey]

its almost as bad as putting the 10900k vs a 5600x and saying "look 5600x is better for gaming at a much cheaper price"

[turbid verge]

2021 barelly started they're already rating best CPU of the year

Had someone bring an iPhone into the shop today, they'd dropped it and the screen was almost pure white and flashing at epilepsy causing levels

"Can you fix this?"

[latent light]

Gotta replace the LCD

[digital hill]

I took my airpods pro to apple to get it fixed and somehow it still had warranty

[solar kestrel]

[digital hill]

I have also accidently bought 2 pairs of iem my wallet is fucked

121 and 143

[quick locust]

lol

[opaque saddle]

i remember once where a customer who brought his iphone to our store, which got ran over by a big truck and shredded into pieces, asking whether we can fix it

what i could see was, metal housing, glass and logic board in many pieces

[quick locust]

My iphone 7 had the audio IC issue and I couldn't get it fixed with warranty

[latent light]

The IC issue affected both the loudspeaker and microphone right?

[quick locust]

yeah iirc

[latent light]

You ever buying iphone again?

[quick locust]

I think iPhone 6 had same issue but with touch

but I only had 5 and 7

Well I dunno

I prefer phones with 3.5mm

[opaque saddle]

that would be a whole unit replacement from apple

what they can do, is replace battery or screen, sometimes camera. thats all

[quick locust]

yeah ik

[opaque saddle]

i have seen people using 3.5mm headphone jack with a cheap earphone

so the metal pin got stuck coz they bent and twisted it

it was a pain for me trying to get those out

ended up telling customers we won't cover that

[latent light]

Cameras are a very expensive component in smartphones, and these days we're seeing phones with over 5 cameras being the norm

[quick locust]

Don't think I ever had a camera fail

[quick locust]

use a pin with glue or solder then pull out

[opaque saddle]

we tried both

so the pin got stuck along with the metal clip

took up too much time for do that, so we returned it back to the customer

anyway that was like 5 years ago

[quick locust]

theres people getting usb stuck as well

[opaque saddle]

i thought some of them are on purpose?

[opaque saddle]

coz i remember my high school used to solder those things into the slot

so the kids can't steal it

[quick locust]

we didnt have any school computers

Only our own devices

[opaque saddle]

i was using ipad for high school like... 7 years ago?

[quick locust]

But most was done on paper

[opaque saddle]

so i didn't bring anything with me, with books some times

but an ipad

[quick locust]

why they would solder it instead of you know, just use bt

oh well

[opaque saddle]

that was mouse and keyboard

with usb cable

[quick locust]

Ah

Theft is common in uni but not in our hs

[opaque saddle]

they have kensington lock at the back of the monitors as well

[torpid gale]

hello

I need help for battlefield v

[weak girder]

try reinstalling yoye graphic drivers

[torpid gale]

how

[weak girder]

with ddu

[torpid gale]

but other games like rocket league work

[weak girder]

follow a tutorial

[quick locust]

whats the issue

[torpid gale]

but big games like gta and bf doesn't work

[weak girder]

his games freezes and crashes

[supple bane]

Yanno giving your issue does help a lot

specs?

[torpid gale]

r7 3700x ; 2070 ; 16go ram ddr4 3200mhz

nvme 500go crucial and 2to

[supple bane]

how does it crash?

describe it

[torpid gale]

the game doesn't crash

it freezing

[supple bane]

like stuttering you mean?

[torpid gale]

I don't know how to describe

[supple bane]

or does it freeze permentantly ?

[torpid gale]

its stuttering

[weak girder]

like I said, try reinstalling your drivers

[supple bane]

^

reinstall gpu drivers first

[torpid gale]

if I want it to become fluid again I have to do an alt tab but it does the same thing a few seconds later

[supple bane]

do you have 1 stick of ram or 2?

[torpid gale]

two

dual channel

[weak girder]

1 stick limits fps but doesnt cause stuttering

[torpid gale]

yes I will try reinstall drivers

[weak girder]

do you know your cpu usage in these games?

[supple bane]

what settings and resolution are you trying to play at ?

[torpid gale]

in big game my cpu is like 50-60

[torpid gale]

before, when the game worked, I playing ultra without some things for better visibility

[supple bane]

resolution ?

[torpid gale]

1920x1080, full hd

[opaque saddle]

vram?

[torpid gale]

8

[supple bane]

he has a 2070

[weak girder]

he has a 2070

[supple bane]

what is your ram usage whilst playing these games ?

[opaque saddle]

dx12 and dlss off?

[torpid gale]

yes

[weak girder]

tbh with 16 youd probably have enough

[supple bane]

yes

but, if he has something sucking ram..

it could cause stuttering

[weak girder]

maybe its malware

[torpid gale]

I can't send a screen but on other games like rl I don't have problems

[supple bane]

exactly

[torpid gale]

on bf 3 everything working

[supple bane]

yeah, rocket league could run on a potato

so can bf3

[torpid gale]

ye i know

[supple bane]

so that highlights to me something is capping out

[torpid gale]

wait I try with battlefront 2

[supple bane]

are you thermal throttling?

what are your cpu and gpu temperatures ?

[torpid gale]

there are good

[supple bane]

again, what is your ram usage whilst playing bfv and gta?

[weak girder]

ot could run on a shitty laptop

[torpid gale]

like cpu 50-60 in games and gpu 60-75

[weak girder]

yeah pretty normal

[supple bane]

just have task manager open in the background whilst playing a game and that will tell you your ram usage

[torpid gale]

what game I can lunch ?

[supple bane]

a game that you have issues with

[torpid gale]

ok wait

i start bf v

[supple bane]

look on this page whilst in a round

[torpid gale]

I am like 9go

[supple bane]

ok

[torpid gale]

but I have a lot of programmes open

[supple bane]

9gb is fine

[torpid gale]

like chrome he take me one giga

[weak girder]

how is your gpu at 27% on idle

[supple bane]

play the game until you freeze, and when you do look through the all the graphs on task manager and see if any peice of hardware hit 100%

[supple bane]

shadow play

[weak girder]

oh

[torpid gale]

hey guys

I think I have a good things

the game work

I don't know how but it work

thank you for help !

[supple bane]

we didnt do anything but ye, youre welcome

[torpid gale]

I don't know the game just finish install completely

and its working

its a good thing

[weak girder]

lmao

this is it

just a lil single fan thing

Maybe its installing them?

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

its been installing them for ages thoooo

[modern gull]

How long tho?

[supple bane]

i havent been counting

too long

[modern gull]

lul

[supple bane]

maybe i should just be more patient

[modern gull]

Maybe drive slow?

[modern gull]

Ya maybe

[supple bane]

an 870 evo?!

not slow

[modern gull]

[near rune]

Yeah you def have a problem then

[supple bane]

Ez claps

[near rune]

Windows installation shouldn't take longer than 10 mins

5-10

[supple bane]

Yeah the boot media was old so it was probably downloading like a bijilliom updates

[near rune]

Why didn't you make a new one

[supple bane]

idk

[near rune]

It automatically cleans the drive aswell

[weak girder]

for some reason an update's been havin an install error on my pc and makes my boot up time 5x slower

[near rune]

So you can just plug it in and download the latest boot media

Tbh i should i also update my windows usb

@solar kestrel welcome to 2005

[solar kestrel]

[storm osprey]

where the fuck is brave browser!

[supple bane]

where is opera gx

[near rune]

I use brave

[solar kestrel]

I use Firefox

[near rune]

Ew

[storm osprey]

brave > chrome > FF > edge >>>>>> opera gx

[solar kestrel]

[storm osprey]

BuT mY MemE GaMeR BrOwSeR

[near rune]

Edge is only there to download some other browsers thats why it exists

[solar kestrel]

Rly did that to opera

[supple bane]

honestly i dont care about how well a browser performs, or if its FaSt

[solar kestrel]

bing

[supple bane]

i just like opera gx because it has built in ad block and vpn

[near rune]

Same

[supple bane]

those are the only reasons i use it

[near rune]

I hate when people say like this and that browser is faster

[supple bane]

and this and that browser is better

NYPHON!

[storm osprey]

brave has built in ad blocker and VPN afaik

dont get made that i use the best browser

[near rune]

All i want is chrome extensions and a good bookmark tab

And an ad blocker

[supple bane]

cool. but im not switching and logging back into everything only to have the exact same experience lol

there is no "best" browser

they all do the same fucking thing

[storm osprey]

but brave

[supple bane]

except some have more features than others

[quick locust]

firefox > all

although mozilla itself is meh

Midori browser is meh

[storm osprey]

call me old fashioned but i dont need a bunch of features

[supple bane]

neither do i

but the ad block and vpn is convenient

[storm osprey]

ad block and being fast are 95% what i care about when using a browser

[near rune]

Who really does

[storm osprey]

i feel like FF is just a feature pack browser that lacks elsewhere

[near rune]

Ad blocker for most people is all they need

I mean firefox has socks support

For illegal stuff

[quick locust]

lightest browser

jk

[supple bane]

fekin nerd

[storm osprey]

lol wow

[proud trellis]

i have some dodgy GX browser. i have ad block enabled and it doesnt even stop ads on YT

it used to but it doesnt anymore

[storm osprey]

thats why you should use the best browser, which is brave browser

i love alliteration and being able to say brave browser helps a lot

on top of that you can double up the alliteration and say brave browser is the best

[proud trellis]

i have all my shit saved on GX tho. i cba to swap and have to sign into everything again

[storm osprey]

woooow the horrors

[proud trellis]

its not just YT and twitch i need to sign into tho

[quick locust]

I use firefox on both my phone and pc

[supple bane]

dodgy gx browser he says

[quick locust]

adblock on mobile is nice to have

[supple bane]

the reason it doesnt work is because anything you touch breaks :)

[proud trellis]

wtf

my gif just got deleted

[storm osprey]

youre gonna get warned again, geesh

[proud trellis]

wont be suprised if i do tbh

thing is tho it used to stop the ads but then one day it stopped and idk why

[tender horizon]

use brave browser to combat this threat

there is literally no negatives to using brave

its all positives

[unborn oriole]

i use brave browser myself and omg if it hasn't saved me from dozens of headaches i don't even know. best decision ever tbh

[tender horizon]

its a great browser

it has the perfect balance of privacy and ease of use

[manic spear]

Do you guys think Xbox One X will handle BF6?

Cuz I have no hope of BF6 coming to Xbox One so I think imma upgrade the rig

Or maybe buy a PC idk

[proud trellis]

so i got some new headphones today and on BF4 it sounds like the sound is just inverted. if there is a tank or a plane on the left side it sounds like they are on the right side

i have checked my audio settings both in and out of game and its still not changed

anyone know what it could be ?

okay so i just tried another game and its the same on there too so its my headphones

[digital hill]

move them the other way

you put them on wrong

[storm osprey]

@proud trellis what are the headphones? in game settings? windows settings?

[proud trellis]

they are called

uhh

[digital hill]

try to flip them ice

[proud trellis]

sennheiser 400d or some shit

[digital hill]

you might have put them on wrong

[proud trellis]

yeah i have flipped them and they do sound right but i have never had a headset where the cable is on the right side

all my headset cables have been on the left side

[digital hill]

just keep it like that

some headphones are weird

[proud trellis]

lol

[proud trellis]

sennheiser HD 400S *

[supple bane]

you got the same headphones as i did

[proud trellis]

oh

is the cable supposed to be on the right side ?

[digital hill]

yeah

if it works correctly as left and right then yes its correct

[proud trellis]

ig it is supposed to be on the right side

but thats so weird lol. all my headphones have always had the cable on the left side

[storm osprey]

is there not an indication SOMEWHERE on the headphones

[proud trellis]

not that i can see

ig they are supposed to have the cable on the right

[storm osprey]

every picture/video im watching its on the left

[proud trellis]

oh

i will wait until granty replies as he said he has them so ig he knows what side its supposed to be on

[storm osprey]

and now i found a video where its on the right xD

[proud trellis]

lolll

[storm osprey]

same frickin video

[proud trellis]

both left and right

https://tenor.com/view/bitch-what-wtf-gavin-confused-gif-5834632

[supple bane]

Idk

Its my birthday present

But I did put them on to see if they weren't faulty and there is a L R indicator on the inside of the strap

[storm osprey]

is there a texture somewhere on one side of the headphones?

[supple bane]

Yeah

[storm osprey]

my sennys have that

[supple bane]

Lil L R

Just above the cup

[storm osprey]

im talking like 3 dots

[supple bane]

Oh, they do have that actually

I remember seeing them

[storm osprey]

i have L and R as well, but i also have 3 bumps so i can feel whats on the left

[supple bane]

Don't know what they are for tho

[proud trellis]

yeah there is 3 dots on the left side

[storm osprey]

so you know its the left side?

[supple bane]

@proud trellis did you buy them after seeing me day I brought them or did you just get them randomly ?

[proud trellis]

i didnt know you bought them. i was watching vids and it appeared

[supple bane]

Yeah well, like i said I used them for a few minutes to make sure they weren't faulty and yeah they seemed good

Maybe a bit too much bass, but its not bad.

Ear cups are very plush

I don't think nyphon would approve, he hates bass i think

[digital hill]

I use fiio fh3

iem and its a little bassy but not a lot

nice soundstage

[proud trellis]

its compfy

very compfy

[digital hill]

My iem is kinda comfy

but I like the metal

and the cable

[storm osprey]

for competitive gaming i prefer recessed to neutral bass

[digital hill]

I think you need bass for competitive gaming

[storm osprey]

i mostly shit talk "Gaming headphones" emphasis on bass that is "cool" but nearly ruins any sense of good audio

[digital hill]

Since bass = louder gunpoint

All gaming headphones is mostly bass

[storm osprey]

not having emphasized bass isnt going to not make you hear it

and like i said, having emphasized bass will likely bleed into your mids and sound muddy

which depending on the mix and game and material, could likely ruin sound queues like footsteps

my gaming headphones have recessed bass, emphasized mids, and bright highs, they also detail whore hard and have a decent soundstage, ive tried a ton of other headphones and these are by far the most confident i am with sound

[digital hill]

My iem I bought I dunno has some bass with mids and high and also with great soundstage and a bunch of detail thats all I can say

[storm osprey]

idk the iems or sound signature, im mostly pointing out the gamer headphones that have stupid amounts of bass because its cool

its like having a high contrast ratio and saturated image

yea its cool, lots of people like it, but its not accurate

[digital hill]

Yeah

My iems I bought are closed backs

but my god is the audio quality clear

in the music for dbd I can hear the fire on my left and then how each instrument is on my ear

[storm osprey]

ive had a few closed backs that werent bassy, theres a lot of factors involved for sound signature

[digital hill]

yeah

it got some vent holes

small ones/really tiny ones

[storm osprey]

hyper x cloud headphones were actually good for competitive gaming too

it had bass, but it didnt overpower the mids

[digital hill]

My iem was like 143 so yeah

but isn't hyper x owned by hp now?

[storm osprey]

uhhh idk, i dont really follow that stuff

[digital hill]

Or was it another company

yeah it was hp buying hyperx

[storm osprey]

[molten coral]

I've a pair of audio technica M40x and I really it for a closed back but after experiencing the DT990 pro i'm not going back to closed headphones

[digital hill]

ah my fiio fh3 is quite a nice pair

I bought it 2 days ago

came today

[molten coral]

Nice

[digital hill]

its kinda uncomfortable on my left but I blame my ear for that

[molten coral]

In-ear headphones are most of the time hit or miss for me

[digital hill]

ah

[storm osprey]

i live in arizona, so open backs really help from getting my ears all sweaty

[digital hill]

I live in california and my room somehow is cool

since my pc case has steel and steel is a little cold to the touch

[molten coral]

I really like the galaxy buds, they just have the perfect fit for me ear.

I went to the apple eco system a few months ago and people have been calling me out for using samsung buds with an apple device

Kinda weird

[digital hill]

I mean I own airpods pro

its in apple for repairs

[molten coral]

Ah, so they aren't great quality?

[digital hill]

no they are decent

[molten coral]

Or did you had some kind of accident with them

[digital hill]

Maybe some accident or it came like that

No idea

the left sounded way weaker then the right

[molten coral]

oh probably just a speaker that died

[digital hill]

yeah

it sounded good but the right sounded louder then the left

[supple bane]

I loved my galaxy buds

Everything about them i loved

And then I went and lost one didnt I

They fit so perfectly, the noise isolation was out of this world and they sounded awsome.

[molten coral]

Yep and long battery life

I got the first version of the galaxy buds.

And after 2 years they are still awesome

They are pretty “cheap” nowadays with them being around 80-100 euro

[supple bane]

I'm still salty i lost one of the buds

[proud trellis]

you dont have a cat do you ?

i lost one of my earbuds before because the cat robbed it

[supple bane]

I don't have any pets

[proud trellis]

oh

[digital hill]

My cat dropped my airpods pro twice to the ground

[proud trellis]

cats are weird animals. they are obsessed with the weirdest things ever

they chase after my mums hair bobbles

[opaque saddle]

I forgot my wireless earbuds from my shorts and I dumped it to my washing machine

And lost it in my friends’ car and he couldn’t find it, he have sold the car to someone else

[proud trellis]

i know i will loose my earphones as soon as i take them out of my room so i just keep them in a draw next to my bed and then just use them when i sleep

[tender horizon]

https://youtu.be/sTdWQAKzESA

figured this might go here

little did he know there're pc's built INTO desks

[weak girder]

theyre amazing I use em all the time

[solar kestrel]

don’t think your getting those back anytime soon

[modern gull]

@weak girder Did you manage to find a new gpu?

[weak girder]

didnt buy it yet

I have enough money for the gpu but I need to make a bit more for other uses

[modern gull]

Oh ya i see fair enoug

What gpu was you considering again btw?

[prime jasper]

one hour ago

[supple bane]

its creepy how much this guy predicted about the future. its obvious he was determined to make computers a global dependence

[quick locust]

[opaque saddle]

What a bargain

98% off for a laptop from the offical Lenovo eBay store

[quick locust]

lol

ah yes, facebook memes

[vague trail]

guys had 3x4gb memory sticks in the black dimms (3\6) and i found 2 more sticks 4gb now i have 20gb of ram do you think its ok to have that

[supple bane]

your motherboard has 6 dim slots?

[storm osprey]

you can always plop in as many ram stick as you want and see if it works

[vague trail]

yes

[storm osprey]

if it doesnt just take them out

[vague trail]

i did and it works fine

[storm osprey]

welp, if it works it works

[vague trail]

nice 🙂

[supple bane]

im still curious about the whole more than 4 ram slot situation

[vague trail]

its a motherboard from 2009

[supple bane]

yikes

[vague trail]

X58 chipset

from intel

[supple bane]

i see

what cpu is it ?

[vague trail]

intel xeon W3520

its a 4 core

but o have a 8 core sitting here

a xeon e5 or something

its 45nm tech ? 😄

ryzens are 7nm

[supple bane]

Yeah

I was wondering because I doubt it will utilise 20gb of ram

Considering it will be ddr3, might not even be worth the extra power draw

[vague trail]

no

actuallt it can use up to 24gb

ddr3

[supple bane]

Doing what?

I don't mean the physical maximum, I mean what your programs will utilise

[vague trail]

i use a lot of 3d animation and rendering softwares

[supple bane]

Fair enough

On a system from 2009? That must be pain

[vague trail]

its actually fine all 3d modeling works fine no lag or crashes

on new softwares

im planing to get a new pc but i wanna be sure that the new one will be better than thios one

[supple bane]

Lmao

[vague trail]

my budget is low

😄

but i guess everythin is better than 2009 specs

[supple bane]

Literally anything you buy rn will quadruple the performance of that

Even bottom line stuff

[vague trail]

i got 500euros and im gonna get a ryzen 5 3600 16gb of momery (i have a rx 580 8gb) a case , psu 700W

maybe i need to get a better fan for the cpu

other than then wraith stealth cooler that comes with the cpu in the box

[supple bane]

Cooler is fine

Power supply is overkill too

A 550w will do fine for those specs

[vague trail]

i calculated a 600w would be good but maybe ill upgrade the cpu to something more powerfull

i think the psu doesnt use 700w ? it should use as mush as the system needs right

[supple bane]

Yes

But no point paying for a 700w psu if your not going to use it

[vague trail]

its 40 euros here

[supple bane]

Oh no no no no

Do NOT buy a 40 euro 700w power supply

That is a bad idea on so many levels

I wouldn't pay any less than double that

[vague trail]

50*

[supple bane]

Still way too cheap

[vague trail]

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/burime/500w-e-me-shume/burim-i-energjise-evga-80-500w/

[supple bane]

Oh, 500w...

[vague trail]

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/burime/500w-e-me-shume/burim-energjie-corsair-cv-series-cv550-550w/

[supple bane]

Yeah those are fine

[vague trail]

ok its not 50 i forgot

[supple bane]

I thought you found a 700w psu for 50

[vague trail]

it was on sale

it isnt anymore 😦

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/burime/700w-e-me-shume/burim-energjie-nga-evga-supernova-750w/

this one

i should have bought it when i had the chance 😄

[supple bane]

Like I said, 550w is fine for the specs you want

More than enough

[vague trail]

i asgree

agree

these are the parts im gonna get

https://imgur.com/DXBESoq

@supple bane thanks for the help 🙂

[supple bane]

Yeah looks good

Although I'd chose another case

[vague trail]

yeah the case will be changed

[supple bane]

I have experience with that case, to put it lightly..

Its wank

Terrible airflow and horrible cable management. And the small issue that that motherboard won't fit in it 😋

[vague trail]

oh

could you recommend me a case?

[supple bane]

Budget ?

[vague trail]

yeah

[supple bane]

No like

[vague trail]

it just needs to be functional

[supple bane]

What is your budget

[vague trail]

aahmm like 50 euros

[supple bane]

Ok

Fractal design focus g maybe

Idk how much better it would be over the one you have already selected tbh

You may be better switching the motherboard to an m-atx and cheaper model and spending some more on the case

[vague trail]

like the ASUS PRIME Z390-P - Intel Z390?

[storm osprey]

How much is lian li 215 @vague trail

[supple bane]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-b450-aorus-m-amd-b450-am4-ddr4-m2-2-way-crossfire-realtek-gbe-usb-31-gen2-type-a-microatx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=feed_clicks&utm_content=surfaces_across_google&gclid=CjwKCAjw9r-DBhBxEiwA9qYUpXLXKoXsqLWAmGmnOyjQWsCYfaW8lt2X4aCoIsjaKB4A-eci-Fx9ixoC3DwQAvD_BwE

Like this @vague trail

[vague trail]

i cant find the aorus one but i found this one

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/pllaka-ame/gaming-1/pllakë-amë-gigabyte-b450m-ds3h-amd-b450/

[vague trail]

i dont understand ? 😄

[storm osprey]

Lian li 215 is probably the best budget case you can get if the price is close to msrp

[vague trail]

oh its a case

lemme check

looks like its isnt available here

[supple bane]

Yeah that's probably fine

[vague trail]

now i have 55 euros for the case 😄

the fractal case is 66

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/case/mini-tower/kase-shtepize-fractal-design-focus-g-mini-e-zeze/

but it says mini so it may be small

oh there is a normal version

https://gjirafa50.com/pjese-per-kompjutere/case/mid-tower/kase-shtepize-fractal-design-focus-g-e-kuqe/

[storm osprey]

You got a micro mb

[vague trail]

so the "m" stands for mini in mATX

[lofty light]

Yeah

It's a cut-down ATX board to a square

Like mITX is a mini ITX board that's cut to a square

[vague trail]

nice i didnt know that

[storm osprey]

M in matx is micro.

Mitx is mini

[lavish lion]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w89zwz

I've finalized my build

but the mobo is incorrect

[digital tundra]

someone help me

[molten coral]

Not really sure, I think it depends what currency you're using on the account.

Also depends on site/program you won the giftcard from I guess

Could always ask the company/person you won it from they probably have an answer.

[storm osprey]

@lavish lion i got some changes if you are open

[solar kestrel]

Can you post them I wanna see

@storm osprey

[storm osprey]

@lavish lion do you want micro or regular? right now you have a micro motherboard which is smaller inside a regular mid tower case, it will look goofy

[lavish lion]

I'm getting an atx

@storm osprey

I could dm u the mobo that I want to get

[pastel lily]

This channel's anthem.

[storm osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRHgcT

@lavish lion only thing idk much about is the new intel mbs

id do some research first

basically changes to cpu cooler, ram, storage and case to save a lot of money, and baaaaarely lose performance

a couple of parts were picked since it seems you wanted a black cpu cooler and white case, you can save even more and really not lose out on performance

considering youre using an 11400 which doesnt OC i imagine you can get by on any decent b560 mb, i see an asus for 130

[lavish lion]

I'm not getting an aio

I'm gonna get a noctua

[storm osprey]

the cpu i picked isnt an aio

and for an 11400 that you cant oc you really dont need to spend more than 50 bucks

[lavish lion]

👌

[storm osprey]

hell, you can probably shuffle money around and get a 5600x build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PhJ9ZZ

yea... if you went with stock cooler you could get a 5600x build

even then you could add a cheap cooler and more fans for about the same price

wait.. your list doesnt have the price of the mb included, so im cheaper WITH a motherboard

yea just replacing cpu cooler, storage, ram and case with similar performing parts saved 175 bucks

[lavish lion]

amd stock coolers are good

[storm osprey]

good enough

[lavish lion]

but having a stock cooler for a very long time than it'll possibly damage the cpu

that is what I've heard

[storm osprey]

it wont damage the cpu unless your ambient temperature is abnormal

a cpu will check temps and scale according, youll likely get less performance with a stock cooler, but its not gonna kill your cpu

[lavish lion]

ok

[storm osprey]

and when i say less performance, in game youre talking maybe 5-10 fps

[lavish lion]

I wanna get the 11000f because it has better value rn

[storm osprey]

so you want the best performance per dollar?

ill show you what you can get if you throw aesthetics out

[lavish lion]

cause if I get the 11000f I am able to use those 100+ dollars on a better gpu and/or cooler

[solar kestrel]

I have an intel stock cpu

Nyphon don’t hurt me

[lavish lion]

how does it perform

[storm osprey]

for what cpu?

[solar kestrel]

I5

[proud trellis]

i used to have a intel stock cooler

10400f

he has

[solar kestrel]

I want to get a new one at some point

Not till after my new gpu and psu thi

I don’t wanna be completely broke

I’ll ask for it on my birthday

[storm osprey]

10400 stock is fine

[solar kestrel]

Oh ok

[storm osprey]

i cant imagine its quite though

[solar kestrel]

It’s not that loud

[opaque saddle]

2.9ghz

[solar kestrel]

I have headphones on so it doesn’t bother me

Hey Derek

[opaque saddle]

but what the processor shows is sustained boost clock

[solar kestrel]
