do you need the mic input?

I can also use the headphones over 3.5mm jack if I want to
gusty kiln
well just asking, seem nothing wrong with your current set up

wheat plume
have you tried the rear I/O on your mobo?
Yeah, Windows didnt like that very much
gusty kiln

astral haven
dont manually install drivers, it should work fine from windows update, mobo manufacturers often mess them up
wheat plume
and its not a combo jack, the front IO jack is combo though
astral haven
the fulla 3 isnt a combo either lel
wheat plume
hhm

no amp dac uses a combo

sxfi is combo
gusty kiln
desktop ones?
wheat plume
yep

only the "audiophile" brands dont
gusty kiln

or just drop a grand on a new headphone and source for that true audiophile experience

astral haven
what is sidetone?

The port is recessed into their phones, so part of the actual connector must be 2.5mm and no wider or it won't go in.
astral haven

wheat plume
the material of the earcup really has a big effect on sound?!
wheat plume
how much does it affect it?
gusty kiln
pretty significant sometimes
astral haven
depends on the headphones but most itll change pretty wildly
esp closed backs

so, whats better to use? I have fake leather or this sort of fabric-like material

if I had fuck you money, I would get a Holo Bliss + Holo May stack

remember the "audiophile network switch"?
astral haven
btw there are actual audio switches
ashen spindle
I mean there are multiple such scam products on the kitsune site so for me that makes it a scam site that might rebrand good gear as well xd
gusty kiln
he's talking about the one where they just use a regular network switch and add stuff to iy
tribal dirge
btw there are actual audio switches
they're kinda stupid though, my cisco switch is fine lmao
astral haven
for dante and avb you do in fact need qos
only some switches support those protocols
frozen ingot
switches handling nothing but digital will do nothing to your sound quality
unless its actually corrupting the data being transferred in some way, in which case you'd know
old marlin
well you could compress digitally
astral haven
for dante and avb you need specific support
old marlin
but switches don't mess with your packets (typically)
astral haven
without explicit supports, it may not get the packet routed fast enough and youll miss a packet
https://www.thomannmusic.com/marian_clara_e.htm
when you have a hall large enough to have hundreds of speakers, you are often dealing with many switches chained, and getting the signal through in real time can be a challenge
gusty kiln
?
old marlin

frozen ingot
packet loss is def a thing, but audiophiles be pretenting their snake oil switches make the sound "crisper" and "warmer" sounding

FidelityFX is the entire software suite so I don’t think you are talking about what you think you are
frozen ingot
I'm talking about every game that's had the option to use it

I like it on the steam deck
ashen spindle
again, its a software suite unless you can visualize a parallel sort algorithm its not what you think it is
yeah
FSR is one part, CAS is another, ambient occlusion, SSR etc.
astral haven
Probably talking about fsr since it's the only thing that gets used
frozen ingot
the upscaling thing
astral haven
You say that but it's so far the only post scaling I've ever seen without sharpening artifacts
ashen spindle
I mean I still dont use either dlss or fsr because I dislike the issues I can see so the older version are just worse imo even if they had other strong points
I just have a grievance with complaining about the wrong things/inaccurately ¯_(ツ)_/¯
thick elk
I wonder how many games end up using amd tech without being public about it.
it mostly being mit licensed may have it fly under the radar
I know tressfx made it's way around under the radar
ashen spindle
it would be even more used if they could get someone dedicated on their teams for that
and kick unitys ass so stuff gets implemted sooner
fsr2 still needs manual support or an asset store plugin to work in unity
because its just on the roadmap and not in yet
thick elk
AMD definitely could use more manpower on the gpu software front
Actively working with Godot could be an angle they could take, that engine does seem to slowly be gaining some traction and due to it's open source nature implementing open source amd tech would be easier
thick elk
I am not talking about fsr specifically, but fair enough
ashen spindle
the others are relatively easier to add like other effects but fair
thick elk
Still it does have potential, at least as a prooving ground
and if it pays off it would be advantagious for amd as open source tech can be directly integrated
ashen spindle
putting one software guy to add stuff for godot is a waste while unreal./unity are lacking features
thick elk
Fair enough, they should definitely push for unreal / unity as well, but I don't know how easy it would be for them to contribute code to it
gusty kiln
I can't wait to see how Lumen performs
thick elk
other than write integrations and hope they get pushed upstream
ashen spindle
unreal is open source, so just make the Pullrequest if they were to not directly work with them worst case

god i wish they would just make fsr completely postprocessing

Actually messed around with FSR on youtube video's after the nvidia upscaling announcement, actually fsr1 works reasonably well as a video upscaling algorythm.

This spams smart key good signals to the ecu, drownig out the smart key bad signal from the real smart key
wheat plume
yes thats the word
frozen ingot
all this keyless crap just opens up for a bunch of security holes
vagrant pagoda
Because Toyota didn't encrypt that part of the can
vagrant pagoda
all this keyless crap just opens up for a bunch of security holes
This works on key equiped Toyotas too
wheat plume
I hate cars that dont need a key to work, it just seems like a security risk waiting to happen
vagrant pagoda
You just have to force over the ignition too
vagrant pagoda
I mean it takes seconds to by pass the key part too
Toyotas are one of the easier keys too
It's just not news that thieves stole a car with keys
Because they have been doing that since they put keys in cars
frozen ingot
that wasn't really the case with most immobilizers before all this keyless entry/"smart" nonsense
vagrant pagoda
Yeah it is
Lol
It depends on what brand
Brands like bmw take their security seriously
Most Asian brands dont
There a bunch of factory immobilizer bypasses
Toyota being on of them
ashen spindle
its news because its a new security that gets bypassed but regular keys are so easy to fake too
only difference is you can skip the 2 minute tutorial on how to do it manually
vagrant pagoda
Also it's crazy that you get it inside a speaker
All the fob relay stuff look sketchy
frozen ingot
with the right tech and skills anything is possible, its arguably a lot easier to acquire these things now than it was in the earlier days of immobilizers though so less joyride thefts

ashen spindle
Guys rtx electronics is affidable?
what
vagrant pagoda
I mean good designed cars use encrypted can for secure functions
And they have a forced timer for re-programming the security keys
ashen spindle
yeah its literally the same, insecure wireless is like an old car using a key that is so flat you can turn it with any long metal piece
frozen ingot
yeah so we're back to the 80s difficulty of boosting a car
ashen spindle
I mean you still have cars that dont use basic securities and can be stolen with fake keys
vagrant pagoda
The headlight network shouldn't have the key on it
ashen spindle
we're just back to using a new toy to steal it

And the headlight to ecu relay shouldn't re transmit functions that aren't on it's network

I'd argue that unless your PC is outside in Dubai's sweltering heat, the ambient temps and thus your coolant given an efficient loop should still win out.
Though at a cost of course. I won't touch closed loop AIO
wispy fractal
ohhhh
lol
anyways even going for a cheaper case and cheaper air cooler wont get me an used 4080 lol
4070 ti for me is a sweet spot
ashen spindle
what about a 7900xt
frozen ingot
for the majority of users its just a lot more work, money and maintenance for negligible benefits
wispy fractal
what about a 7900xt
its idle wattage is like 100w
ashen spindle
not really, that was a bug on launch with multimonitor
wispy fractal
not really, that was a bug on launch with multimonitor
is it fixed
or not
i am a 2 monitor user
ashen spindle
yes since months
ashen spindle
yup
wispy fractal
real
i have seen a review of a 6900xt by zwormz in minecfaft
that thing hits 1800 fps with medium setting
but amd for multiple monitors is not the sweetest spot
wispy fractal
it consumps like 80% of its power in minecfaft
wispy fractal
nvidia does the same
i know but nvidia’s power consumption while using 2 monitors are lower
wait lol
thtas the 1080p results
even though its on 1080 its still have a gpu bottleneck
frozen ingot
heck yeah mine only draws 14W
wispy fractal
i think i might go with the xtx i think
do u think its good for 2 monitors and still doesnt lose performance
ashen spindle
oh yeah works too, wasnt sure of budget so I only suggested the XT
wispy fractal
ive never tried amd b4
ashen spindle
doesn't lose you any performance unless you run a second game on screen 2
wispy fractal
oh yeah works too, wasnt sure of budget so I only suggested the XT
oh no i can go with the xtx
its totally fine
ig
do amd cards have thermal issues though
kk
im watching reviews of it rn
i forgot amds card are terrible at rtx
wispy fractal
lol
ashen spindle
I mean, unless we get something like last of us and you have a 3070 with not enough vram and then amd its miles ahead even in raytracing dues to larger vram
but I mean personally I dont think Rt on even a 4090 is good enough to warrant using it so depends on how much you like it
wispy fractal
I mean, unless we get something like last of us and you have a 3070 with not eno...
i mean what will you rate the xtx compares with 4080 in mc raytracing at 4k
ashen spindle
I mean I dont turn on RTX on my 4090 because I dont hit my fps target lol
ashen spindle
I wanted to play with it in control because that looks nice
but I couldnt hit enough fps on my resolution with it
but in general it should be about on par with the 4080, sometimes better sometimes worse
yeah, just in a bigger way than physx since its still faked physics just better
nah far from it
this gen is basically like last gen nvidia in rtx, more or less
no that was on purpose
reef patrol
ashen spindle
like nvidias last gen performance in rtx implementation
since general DXR nvidia already lost a bit of their headstart
for example
oh yeah for sure, it's still very much an edge case for most games

ah yes, if you run the same desktop on all these distros, sure, OFC only the kernel is the same in them all LOL

I once used a command line launcher

The Linux version of metro games don't have any graphical settings :/
Only basic brightness and resolution

idk if raytracing on mesa is even working yet
wheat plume
Did you not hear the news a few years ago?
GOG no support Linux
Not anymore
They dropped Linux support
reef patrol
Ironic.

The general problem with benchmarking ray tracing in general is that you can't really do it in isolation, different parts of the gpu get loaded by rendering.
If you want an ideal scenario for AMD you would generally make heavy use of sharders combined with ray tracing
If you want an ideal scenario for nvidia you would path-trace a relatively simple older game
ashen spindle

Well feral's days of porting games to linux are mostly over anyway with how well...
Was it feral that ported borderlands 2?
Cause that port can't reach more than like 20fps for me...
Runs fine under proton though
Keyboard don't matter
thick elk
In case of total war games, multiplayer was not compatible with the feral version, so nowadays I just use wine even though a native version is availble
For me that works fine, although I have not tried weird keyboard layouts
wheat plume
Multiple monitors....yeah
That can be finicky
ashen spindle
the bl2 "port" to linux was done by gearbox
thick elk
There are definitely some issues, but not having a per monitor refresh rate and multi monitor + adaptive sync really kills using xorg
ashen spindle
because unreal runs on linux without many changes in most cases
thick elk
Except when using nvidia because well nvidia on linux...
wheat plume
Nvidia is still holding back Wayland progress :/
Cause even if shit works fine on Intel and AMD
It gets held back because it doesn't work on Nvidia drivers
thick elk
I wouldn't go that far, wayland is a focal point for much of the space and there are definitely issues being tackled
I will give you that, Nvidia does not go well with the Linux desktop.

if steamOS ever becomes mainstream for desktop use, AMD gpus go brrrr
I actually wonder how is the driver experience on linux vs windows
wheat plume
for AMD?
AMD drivers are already built into the kernel and activate if you have the hardware, so you dont really have to do anything
if you need to fix tearing, you just add a line to a config file and reboot
gusty kiln
if you need to fix tearing, you just add a line to a config file and reboot
are issues (if any) resolved through updates (daily? weekly? monthly?) or do you have to fix em yourself?

huh?
ashen spindle
you can start by enjoying the gitlab issue tracker to find if it exists
or maybe they added a section to the radv discord nowadays
well, unless you use amdvlk instead of mesa radv etc.

nvm ..it is mega expensive

Oppo, interesting
the only dedicated music player I had that was like a smartphone was an iPod Touchback in the day, before that I had a portable cassette player and CD player after that

Airpods sound real good?

I think in some songs, my wireless buds sound better than my headphones do
more detail to it
but then in other genres, my headphones are miles ahead

my wireless buds are fairly bass heavy
