real advice

final flame
#

do they complain the only reason why they aren't better is because of their equipment

#

blaming your equipment only goes so far
keep on doing that and you'll never become good

latent mural
#

my wooting doesnt have pcb mount stabs thats why i didnt get that kill in valorant

fickle ore
#

osu! is hardly the pinnacle of skill or competition because it's played against static targets not evolving or reacting, unlike humans

latent mural
#

i think this point can be applied to any game

#

he just gave osu as an example

#

if shape wasnt a factor, i'd perform the same way with a g305 or deathadder

final flame
#

have a look at some top level ar11 gameplay and tell me whether the targets in your shooters pop up that quickly

fickle ore
#

The most important part of a gaming mouse is shape, weight, click and motion latency anyway

#

other stuff is meaningless like sensor being 3950 vs 3995 etc

final flame
#

not to mention you're also playing a online game
lag from your connection to the server will matter more than the latency of your peripherals

latent mural
#

the only objective things in that list are click and motion latency

halcyon willow
#

PC latency matters the most in any latency chain after WiFi

latent mural
#

That's why I also watch Optimums cpu reviews, he added pc latency to the chart

final flame
fickle ore
#

Anything below 60 g weight is generally good enough, but that excludes g305. The rest of your arguments I have nothing to add to because to me they're a strawman. You're just dismissing the effects of hardware. Hardware isn't subjective beyond novice level stuff.

Let's just agree to disagree on the whole

halcyon willow

Bro used osu 💀💀

ashen spindle

final flame
#

osu is a good example due to it's absurdly high skill ceiling

fickle ore
ashen spindle
latent mural
#

yeah

#

check his 7950x3d review

halcyon willow
latent mural
#

thats where i saw it last time

ashen spindle
#

yeah thats just the fps chart inverted lol, aka more fps = less latency

latent mural
ashen spindle
#

there is no time where something with less fps has lower latency there

#

so no real point

latent mural
#

btw since you have a 4090 i think, what cpu do you have paired with it?

final flame
ashen spindle
#

5600x

halcyon willow
#

If I were a budget gamer first thing I would do is get Ethernet

final flame
#

we aren't playing with razer boomslangs anymore
times have changed

latent mural
#

I'm not sure abt Starfield performance at 4k( ihave 5800x3d and 3090ti) so i considered a 7800x3d and 4090

latent mural
ashen spindle
#

the higher the resolution the less the cpu matters

latent mural
#

true but there is also DLSS

#

DLSS Quality at 1440p is 1080p

ashen spindle
#

I dont like upscaling in any game I tried it so far

latent mural
#

ah

#

I see

#

that's why you have no issues

fickle ore
# latent mural you do realize that some people perform better with heavier mice because of stab...

No, frankly they do not. That's just a lack of skill wielding a low weight mouse and not having enough friction from Y mousepad, optimizing for critical damping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. In physical systems, damping is produced by processes that dissipate the energy stored in the oscillation. Examples include viscous drag (a liquid's viscosity can hinder an oscillatory system, causing it to slow down; see v...

latent mural
#

ok but some people still prefer heavier mice

final flame
#

preference matters most

latent mural
#

yeah

final flame
#

there is no objective mouse weight

halcyon willow
#

Shitty players after adding 50 grams of weights to their mice because of their Parkinson’s shakes

latent mural
#

all of this dogshit is irrelevant if i perform better with a heavier mouse

fickle ore
latent mural
#

which i think is fine

#

theres nothing wrong with that

#

if you compare 50g to 100g thats very different

latent mural
halcyon willow
final flame
#

I play on a Mx master, the shape matters most of all

latent mural
#

compensating or not doesnt matter

#

the end result does

fickle ore
#

The force matters, can your arm generate that kind of force in Y time?

latent mural
#

bro nobody is doing fucking nasa math when they choose a gaming mouse

final flame
latent mural
#

they just choose what they are comfortable with

#

and thats how it ends

fickle ore
halcyon willow
#

Thats why im immortal 3 in Val and they’re not

latent mural
#

weight is not objective and neither is shape

halcyon willow
#

They can choose to be garbage if they want, but they can look at the facts

latent mural
final flame
fickle ore
latent mural
#

bro nobody is doing physics for a fucking mouse man

#

you can't say weight is objective

fickle ore
#

Lots of ppl do lol

latent mural
#

it is fucking not and never will be

fickle ore
#

True you're right is subjective bc people are different sized

latent mural
#

if someone likes heavier mice they will choose heavier mice

fickle ore
#

say 30g is same as 40 to someone bigger

ashen spindle
#

the real issue is you are not thinking outside fo the box of how to really incrase your performance

final flame
latent mural
#

I had a VPU and a GPX (75 and 60g) and I chose the viper for gaming because the shape was better for me while for normal pc usage i chose the GPX

this reminds me i need a second pump because i have flow rate issues

fickle ore

thats why its not objective

#

its subjective

halcyon willow
#

Glaxes might be upset

#

They should express that they are

latent mural
#

he mentions he is an audiophile now im interested

#

what headphones and dac/amp u use

halcyon willow
#

Maybe she with the anime pfp

final flame
#

I use a focal clear and schiit stack

latent mural
#

nice

final flame
#

I also have a 6xx

latent mural
#

i have hd600s with hd650 cable and a dacmagic 200m

#

Might branch out and try different headphones

#

I wanted to give the LCD X a shot but they are too heavy

final flame
#

lcdx is nice but they need eq

latent mural
#

yeah i saw

#

the hifiman aryas are also pretty nice from what i saw on joshua valors channel

final flame
#

yea aryas are a good option too

latent mural
#

these hd600s are doing really well though

fickle ore
#

@final flame Here is m2k vs Razer Naga V2 Pro that I'm currently using. I'm not sure I can stop the naga at 1 cm. Definitely not for hours of gaming. What do you think?

latent mural

there is no clear upgrade path but other sound profiles would be nice to try

halcyon willow

Are the jubilees any good?

holy shit the keyboard is almost as wide as the monitor

#

this right here is why i stopped using 104 keyboards long ago

analog sinew
#

it's only 24"

latent mural
#

still

analog sinew
#

so not a big monitor

#

my old keyboard was slightly wider even

latent mural

thats the 2 he right?

analog sinew

yes

latent mural

good choice

Split ergo needed

fickle ore
#

Doubt I can even flick at 4.5 m/s on my naga lol

fair gull
#

i was about to say in some more dramatic situations maybe but usually youre way below such speeds

#

unless youre an osu gamer

#

maybe those mouse players get up to crazy accels

fickle ore
#

I'm consistently flicking at 4.5 m/s on something like 50 g mice from what I've benched on mousetester

#

but average speed is like 0.5-1 m/s

#

less for desktop

fair gull
#

benched while playing a game?

final flame
#

not to mention the higher the mouse dpi and sensitivity in game the less this will matter

fickle ore
#

ya

final flame
#

in fact if you're using high dpi you'd probably want something heavier

halcyon willow
#

3200 dpi, sub 50g mouse gang wya

latent mural
fair gull
#

1000dpi high weight gang

halcyon willow
#

🤢🤢

final flame
#

I use 800 on a 165g mouse

latent mural
#

165g???

#

what the fuck

fair gull
#

i still need to get a higher weight for mine as im at just 85g currently

fickle ore
fair gull
#

ideally id want 120-140

final flame
latent mural
#

120 sure but 165

#

jesus

halcyon willow
latent mural
#

now that makes sense

#

i thought it was just a g502 with a gym weight strapped to it

final flame
fickle ore
#

Yeah def not forcing you, Glaxes

latent mural
#

is it 3d printed or how did you get to 22?

final flame
#

in the end it all falls down to preference

halcyon willow
#

I’ve never gotten a spasm while playing

latent mural
#

oh

halcyon willow
#

V1?

#

Yeah but that weighs 24 doesn’t it

latent mural

@ me when a deathadder releases with 24-30g weight

fickle ore

@prisma crag I wonder whats the mass/volume of m2k vs ULX (lion) at 5% bigger than UL2/SL-12 small

final flame

@ me when logitech releases a gaming version of the mx master with all the same features and just a better sensor and lack of a soft touch finish

I need my thumbrest

I wanna be sodablasted

Grape Sprite flavor

halcyon willow
#

G502

final flame
#

g502 doesn't have a gesture button or horizontal scroll

halcyon willow
#

You’re asking for too much

analog sinew
#

the g502x has sideways tilting scrollwheel

#

if that counts

final flame
#

eh, it's alright, won't be the same as a actual wheel

fickle ore
#

Naga V2 Pro has a wild wheel lol

#

96 steps per revolution

#

@final flame oh this has a horizonta too I think?

halcyon willow
#

Oops

#

Actually didn’t know thanks for teaching me

final flame
#

the only gaming mice that are relatively similar to the mx master are the
Basilisk and the G502x

#

I still would like a gesture button, as that's what allows me to navigate windows absurdly quick

fickle ore
#

acid etching should be even finer than bicarb, no? 😄

halcyon willow
#

What the fuck is a gesture button

fickle ore
#

but prob doesnt work that well on plastics hehehe

halcyon willow
#

Show us the mouse Glarses

final flame
#

the entire thumbrest is the button

#

that's the gesture button

analog sinew
#

almost bought that one

final flame
#

you hold it down and move your mouse in a direction to do a action

#

I personally like the older designs of the mx master
the kind of diamond pattern on it is nice

fickle ore

End Game Gear has new control pad that has japanese Poron base (like Artisan), if anyone's looking for control pads

I like the corsair ironclaw wireless shape, would be nice it it wasn't a flimsy piece of trash

cursive summit

I hope that it doesn't die someday

#

95 should be still like critical levels of normal

#

Ah no it keeps going up the bastard

#

Well AMD says below 110 is within spec so, must be normal then

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

But AMD said it was normal

latent mural
#

and the only reason they said that is because they measure hotspot sensor

cursive summit
#

That is an RX 5700, brother

latent mural

ah ok

#

you are good then

cursive summit

I don't like this card tbf

final flame
cursive summit

It's really good perf wise and extremely efficient

I even managed to somehow break it to the point it completely shuts down while not in use

#

So, 0W dogenek

But the occasional (once every quarter year or so) driver crashes are annoying

latent mural

do you have the reference edition?\

#

GN showed that the cooler on the stock one is unusable

cursive summit
#

The cooler's fine

#

It clearly sustains 100° under load

#

So what's wrong with reference eh?

latent mural
#

the reference blower cooler is terrible

#

its noisy and terrible temps

cursive summit
#

Do you own one?

#

Evidently not cause neither of your current claims hold weight when I own the card, and it's neither noisy nor the temps are bad dogenek

latent mural

https://youtu.be/-SAWtKEIYbw it is objectively terrible

AMD's Radeon group can't seem to learn from its past mistakes and has launched yet another product with broken drivers. This is our benchmark of the AMD RX 5700 XT.

they use the same cooler

How was your anime fym

thorn cypress

how is it abysmal?

cursive summit
#

Also I can't recall a single antivirus that's made for Linux that's good

#

Megumin is not lesbian

thorn cypress
#

relying on the source being closed is not a good practice

cursive summit
#

Sorry to ruin your konosuba experience dogenek

#

She's bi at best

#

It's not a new season, it's prequels

#

Which nobody asked for anyways dogenek

#

Who's ever said that open source is more secure than closed?

#

That's like the whole point of closed, nobody knows your secrets

#

*once, before useless

thorn cypress
#

didn't mean to say that it isn't abysmal if it seemed that way, just want to learn

#

she can still talk

cursive summit
#

Please don't find that relatable, please?

thorn cypress
#

what I meant is it shouldn't be an excuse to write bad code

cursive summit
#

Well, relying on the manufacturer not holding dark secrets with closed is something not really good

#

But closed is to remain industry standard

thorn cypress
#

yea of course

cursive summit
#

That'd be the opposite

#

You can exploit code deficiencies

#

I don't quite think having the code just open like a book is a good thing

thorn cypress
#

it's easier to find the exploits if the code is open source

cursive summit
#

And exploit them

#

The fact that Linux is also forked beyond belief is not a good thing either

Skip the Witcher books

#

And I don't see why you'd buy mangas when they are all on mangadex dogenek

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

A lot of works are not translated into other languages

#

And according to some kind of laws, prolly DMCA, they are freely hostable for free

#

As long there is no other way to obtain the manga

ashen spindle
#

what law are you on about

latent mural
#

the law of low iq

astral haven
#

the question of is a translated copy of the work transformative enough to turn it into a new work has been decisively stated to be not fair use

ashen spindle
#

it also really doesnt matter even if that was the law, as a decent human one should pay people for their work if you have money for it lol

astral haven
#

and that doesnt even matter because japan doesnt have fair use

astral haven
#

morals are by definition subjective...

latent mural
#

I can't comment on that as I lack morals and ethics

astral haven
#

ethics are objective, you cant lack them, just lack awareness of them

latent mural
#

i don't care about shit that doesn't affect me or the ones I care about

#

let's put it that way

astral haven
#

sure
but everything effects everyone in society eventually

#

and paying for works of art/IP is extremely direct

if you find it good enough to spend your time with it, you would likely want more of it to exist, and if you do not perform the exchange for it, more of the work is less likely to exist

latent mural

I was talking about stuff in general not this specifically

#

if you have the means to and you want to support anything go right ahead

The g502x have opticals

old marlin

yes

worst opticals around

they ping a TON

that is why both asus and corsair stopped using them

ig logitech didn't wanna redo the g502X again

gusty kiln

I enjoy the revised v2 optical on my rvu

old marlin

ig there was a mechanical switch version

which were a problem on the v1

mind you cooler master uses an unmodified version of that switch

latent mural

thats illegal

old marlin

bruh

it is literally in their FCC docs

either 2khz or double packets

latent mural

give me a rope

old marlin

aka the fake 2khz that corsair for example did

latent mural

fake 2khz?

old marlin

yea they just send a fake packet

so it looks like 2khz

latent mural

🗿

old marlin
#

not aware of any mouse that actually does 2khz so far

latent mural

why is tech such a joke nowadays

old marlin
astral haven

m2k does true 2khz

old marlin

most of them just go for 4khz or 8khz

old marlin

there are a number of mice that do 2khz but not as a maximum or out of the box

astral haven

but if it was wireless it probably couldnt do more

razer does 4khz wireless

compx does with nordic chips as well

oh yea I am sure you will need it for your data influx buffer

so you can do compute much faster

fickle ore

need to run that by fiend

or was it in sc

latent mural

I don't need it, I want it

old marlin

or for your 8k raw video scrubbing

astral haven

it is helpful in every scenario that has data that is accessed randomly

old marlin

or for your stupid large renders

old marlin
astral haven

now the amount by which it is helpful is limited, but actually the smaller each part of data is the more useful it is

old marlin

if you really think that cutting a 20 second load time to 19.5 is useful then sure

fallout 4 is worse than the older games but thats just edgy hating

eh

pale sigil
#

It's not edgy hating

old marlin

would not say clearly worse

#

better shooter

#

worse rpg

astral haven

but thats implying the older games hold up on their own too

and worse performance

old marlin

yea no shit

well teeeeechnically csgo is a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod of original quake

old marlin
astral haven
#

therefore quake still holds up

latent mural
#

I don't think you understood what i meant

old marlin
#

imo it is limited by it relying on numbers a whole lot

#

so they can't just give you a good feeling shotgun

latent mural
#

Skyrim has a shit ton of gameplay mods that can give new life in to the game and the quests are really good

pale sigil
#

Or well old

#

Even though it's a "modern" game

astral haven
latent mural
#

dead?

astral haven
#

you can bring your own fun, but otherwise its just a place

latent mural
#

it has 250h of content in it

pale sigil
#

Fallout 76 was peak Bethesda.

latent mural
#

LOL

astral haven
latent mural
#

i think you are actually braindead

pale sigil
#

Now that was me baiting and trolling.

astral haven
#

do you not enjoy reading the encyclopedia?

pale sigil
#

Lol

latent mural
#

that would've just taken the shit

#

i need to rewatch the Internet Historian video on it

astral haven
#

i mean when i think of bethesda thats what i think of

old marlin
#

like if they just gave you movement and weapon handling from bl2 making somewhat okay ai would be hard

pale sigil
#

I really wanted to be optimistic for starfield and I was up until they originally announced it was using the garbage engine.

#

I don't have much faith despite footage

latent mural
#

it is not using the same engine

#

as Skyrim and Fo4

#

it's using a new version of it

pale sigil
#

I enjoyed prey

#

Tbh

pale sigil
astral haven
#

prey was a fantastic game

pale sigil
#

Bud

#

Lol

latent mural
#

I hope they don't add Denuvo to it and I hope modders get in quick

astral haven
#

but it was not made by bethesda

pale sigil
#

Newer version of an engine is not a new engine

astral haven
#

well unless it is

pale sigil
pale sigil
latent mural
#

why do i expect good takes out of an anime pfp

astral haven
#

not all drawings are anime lol

pale sigil
#

It's cartoon

#

Not anime

#

But yes Carmonben is correct

latent mural
#

that's even worse

pale sigil
#

I mean

#

I've clearly hit a nerve lol

old marlin
#

I mean the engine apparently was mostly redone

pale sigil
#

We'll see.

astral haven
#

yea the engine is very obviously improved

#

but the question is how bethesda will it be

old marlin
#

Ship of theseus engine

pale sigil
#

I'll genuinely be happy to backtrack everything and take a if I'm wrong.

astral haven
#

my problem however with bethesda and many of the very open games is the content is actually not interesting

#

like theres a ton of content

#

and its all quality

#

but its all boring

old marlin
#

Which i would be fine with

#

If the rpg part of the game is good

latent mural
#

I hope they atleast gave it more variance

astral haven
#

see but variations on tedium is still tedium

latent mural
#

they better not go on their twitter and change the game from RPG to Action Adventure 6 hours before launch like CDPR did

astral haven
#

cyperbunk is more rpg than skyrim tho

latent mural
#

??????

astral haven
#

like you can actually be different characters

old marlin
#

Is it

latent mural
#

what the fuck

old marlin
#

I mean

astral haven
#

and i dont just mean game statistically

old marlin
#

Bl2 is more rpg than cyberpunk is

#

Lol

astral haven
#

i mean in regards to the story

latent mural
#

Cyberpunk is not even that rpg

old marlin
#

role play wise ig

#

yea

astral haven
#

no but at least theres more than 1 option of what role to play

old marlin
#

idk cyberpunk just hits a different niche imo

#

different kind of character development

latent mural
#

almost none of ur choices matter, the characters are goofy asf, the story is fucking carried by silverhand

old marlin
#

perks of not being a silent protagonist

astral haven
latent mural
#

you have no choice in that

astral haven
#

now to be fair its not as many ways as witcher 3 or especially witcher 2

#

but there are actual differences to how the game ends

#

there are entire parts of the story that can be missed

old marlin
#

I mean skyrim always plays out the same

astral haven
#

yep
the exact mechanic you use to apply the dammage changes but eh

old marlin
#

not like it matters much

#

with the weak final boss

astral haven
#

yep
and cyperbunk has the same issue of weak final boss unless you input the konami code or some shit, but the missions you will have played through to get to the end will likely be at least slightly different from everyone else

#

i spent significantly more time in skyrim trying to find fun, but it just didnt happen
it was like an hour or 2 of fun, and a hundred or 2 of tedium

#

cyperbunk was around 20 of fun and 20 of tedium id say

old marlin
#

you at least have a lot more flavor besides the main story

#

main story is paced pretty badly towards the end

#

would be my main gripe

astral haven
#

yea but in skyrim the flavor of the randomly generated quests is that of salted cardboard

#

the filler in cyberpunk isnt fantastic, but its better than that by far

#

again bethesdas games are great because you can bring your own fun
but if thats not the experience you want or expect from a game, they will disappoint you like they did for me

old marlin
#

at some point people have to accept that certain games are the peak of what will ever be made that would be similar to them

#

I very much doubt that we will ever get another good borderlands game for example

#

or anything similar

astral haven
#

something similar will happen eventually

#

we may not survive that long (personally or as a species lol)

old marlin
#

new good borderlands game vs entropy

thick elk
#

Skyrim mostly was a sandbox with indeed a very bad main story.

astral haven
#

it may not be called borderlands, but theres always something to pick up the slack

astral haven
#

eventually

thick elk
#

Played more timing tuning it with mods than actually playing it.
Borderlands I enjoyed the first one but 2 was kind of meh and then I kind of stopped.

old marlin
old marlin
#

and 340 in 2

thick elk
#

I honestly think it would have been a better game with a smaller or more sparse world and higher quality content.

#

skyrim that is.

old marlin
#

yea

#

cause the dungeons were kinda eh

#

very copy paste

#

fallout 4 imo does a little better in that regard

#

the stuff you stumble into tends to be more interesting

thick elk
#

Yea it does.

#

Still in general I feel like there is nothing wrong with having a smaller more elaborate world.
Or if you go big, just have it as landscape to traverse through for scale and some enemy encounters along the way.

old marlin
#

yea

#

cyberpunk had a lot less area than skyrim

#

but a lot denser filled

thick elk
#

It's still on my backlog, should play it someday.

astral haven
#

and it didnt feel substantially smaller if you include the outskirts of town

old marlin
#

you barely were in the outskirts though

astral haven
#

i spent a while exploring the areas around cyberpunk on my own, and while i called it tedium it was somewhat fun

#

each area had its own character really

old marlin
#

is it pi 4s

thick elk
#

usb 3 ports

empty wren
thick elk
#

Only introduced on the pi 4 so there is that

old marlin
#

yum

thick elk
#

Either way it seems like these scooters smell of start up money and not a lot of optimizing at scale, probably all off-the-shelve parts.

final flame
#

why tf would people have buyers remorse by buying the peerless assasin

analog sinew
#

the video won't get clicked without clickbait

#

it has to be this way

#

so the title is bullshit

#

and should just be "new peerless assassin better blah blah"

pale sigil
#

I enjoy mine

#

And this video doesn't bother me or the title

final flame
#

Ironically the peerless assasin is still cheaper on amazon for me lol

pale sigil

I was genuinely impressed with it

I got the white one

#

Never going back to aio, then again I said that before when I went to noctua havo

#

Tbh

#

It just made sense with how good it was

#

For me

#

I was ready to get a noctua again

#

Huh?

#

I was going to go back to noctua because of my past experience

#

I loved my dh15

#

Not sure what you mean by fomo

#

Im still confused

#

Ah

final flame
#

could use that for any company that has a loyal following

pale sigil
#

I would love to go back to AMD

#

If there's a huge reason I won't

final flame
#

sadly I need my cuDNN

pale sigil
#

I can't afford it and I have a 3080 aPES_Laugh

astral haven
#

yea nvidia has their hooks in me too
broadcast, optix, dlss

analog sinew
#

please tell me this is photoshopped

pale sigil
#

I forgot about broadcast

#

I rely on that so much omg

#

Optix?

astral haven
#

for rendering

final flame
#

nvidia 3d vision 💀

astral haven
#

rip

final flame
#

I never messed around with it
I also have one of the first 3d vision monitors

astral haven
#

i have one that is capable but ive never used it

final flame
#

same

astral haven
#

ive used tridef vr to use 3dvision titles with a vr headset tho

final flame
#

starting to see the reason why it got killed off

astral haven
#

its actually awesome tho my computer at the time could not run an entire aaa game + 3d vision + vr on top of it

#

its such a shame that freesync is so much less stable than gsync tho 😦

final flame
#

nvidia lightboost, idk what that even was set to accomplish

astral haven
#

but also compatible with gsync

#

its extremely awesome, it was the first sync + blur reduction

#

and still one of the only ways to do that still

#

it obviously had the strobe problem, but well thats how it be

halcyon moss
#

It was just already a Vesa standard

astral haven
#

yea i cant fault amd, its nvidias fault that they never bothered to make asics or make gsync a standard

#

it wasnt freesync tho

#

it was hdmi vrr

my fps is locked at 120 fps

i got a new monitor

fair gull

tell windows about the fps to use for your monitor

silent oracle
#

?

#

im trying to figure out the damn fps lock

fair gull
#

win key + i

silent oracle
#

i usually have it on but this thing is making me mad

fair gull
#

go to display settings

#

check it even knows the fps of your monitor

#

you dont play with 2000fps menus?

#

smh

thick elk
#

Just wondering you don't have vsync on right?

silent oracle
silent oracle
#

disabled in the nvidia control panel i think

#

so it wont work anyways lel

fair gull
#

i mean a good next step is to play good games

silent oracle
#

and he waddle away waddle waddle

#

actually tho im not liking how this works

fair gull
#

have you tried playing pokemon go?

silent oracle
#

yes

severe phoenix
#

Freesync is just VRR

#

AMD didn't develop freesync

#

It just labeled HDMI VRR as FreeSync

astral haven
#

no

astral haven
#

its vesa adaptive sync

severe phoenix
#

There was no development on AMDS part

#

Yeah

#

AMD just branded a standard as their own

astral haven
#

they somehow shoved vesa adaptive sync into an hdmi port for pc monitors

severe phoenix
#

They didn't put in any of the legwork

astral haven
#

well they did

#

its actually not easy to tune a display controller

#

and they did take part in developing the standard into products

#

its not like nvidia where they reinvented the wheel ofc

thick elk
#

Nvidia always introduces their features vendor locked, the only way they could do that is when they had a display controller as well. Hence the gsync module.

astral haven
#

They could however have licensed it to display controller manufacturers...

severe phoenix
#

And GSync is still superior. FreeSync is a mess.

#

GSync can do down to 1HZ. FreeSync can mean anything

#

You can have FreeSync ranges of 100-144HZ

#

Or 60-144

#

or 30-144, if yer lucky

#

But it's very random and you can't know

astral haven
#

And gsync guarantees variable overdrive

severe phoenix
#

FreeSync Premium also doesn't mean anything. There's some of those that claim 30-whatever max refresh rate is

#

But when if you actually test it, it's like 80 minimum refresh rate

#

SpecialK can expose the actual minimum refresh rate VRR is active at

#

Instead of what that displayID says

astral haven
#

To be fair, gsync repeats frames under 30hz

severe phoenix
#

Yeah

thick elk
#

I can fault them for Freesync premium but free sync is nothing more than AMD branding on adaptive sync, it has no real requirements.

severe phoenix
#

But,

astral haven
#

But it does it on the monitor side not the gpu

severe phoenix
#

A lot of 60-240HZ FreeSync displays double anything under 102HZ

thick elk
#

So what are the differences in requirements between freesync and gsync compatible

severe phoenix
#

With FreeSync you never know if you're gonna get a good display or crap display without reviews. With normal GSync you know you're gonna get 60HZ min. With PRemium, 30HZ min and using LFC down to 1HZ

astral haven
#

Nvidia gsync compatible at least guarantees a not atrocious experience, but they didn't try very hard so that their true gsync would still have an edge

astral haven
severe phoenix
#

Maybe they updated that

#

I know Gsync Ultimate goes down 1

#

to 1*

astral haven
#

And gsync compatible requires below 60 tho not necessarily below 48

severe phoenix
#

GSync ultimate is pretty great yeah

#

Pricey to be sure, but you know it's gonna be a great experience

astral haven
#

Ultimate is supposedly just hdr

#

Using the new more expensive module

silent oracle
#

i have a question
so if i use a display port can my monitor run up to 165 hz unlike the hdmi where it can be only be set to 144hz? (my monitor support 165hz)

severe phoenix
#

Y eah my Alienware OLED is Ultimate, using SpecialK I can actually confirm it goes down to 10HZ natively before LFC / Frame doubling kicks in

#

Which is impressive

astral haven
#

Yeah
And my almost 10 year old Asus with the original gsync module can sync down to zero, the lfc kicks on somewhere presumably under 20

astral haven
#

"this is not how the bearing is supposed to look under normal operation"

Wow no shit Martin lol

thick elk
#

Well reading the manual is hard it seems

simple steeple
astral haven
#

Yes and no

#

They introduce some latency like all LCD controllers
But they also allow you to do some tricks to reduce latency

#

The brain to brain feedback loop through mouse and computer and monitor and eye is quicker on a synced display, and the lowest latency way to avoid tearing is through gsync

#

Scan line sync is better but it's also extremely intensive on the computer as well as being banned from most competitive games

Here the main questions are obviously, how shit the PSU is, how bad is the case, how bad is the SSD, etc

ashen spindle

I would also like some bencmarks of the card first

misty saffron
#

why the fuck can’t android phones have good haptic feedback

#

genuine question

#

why has apple come up with their shit ages ago and we still get $0.01 vibration motors in android phones

empty wren
#

Higher end ones do

#

Interesting

misty saffron
empty wren
#

What device?

misty saffron
#

last time i touched a samsung fold something i was disgusted

empty wren
#

I guess a thing to consider is another one could do it justice. Since one screen probably has some feels on it and on top of that it is strongest in one spot

#

Might also not help they are using a lot of plastic on the front🤷

astral haven
#

the problem is the iphone haptic is so insanely weak despite how huge it is

#

sure its precise

#

but i cant feel it

empty wren
astral haven
#

my samsung i can hear

misty saffron
#

what still is a mystery is why even budget phone manufacturers are refusing to spend an extra couple of cents per unit

astral haven
astral haven
#

the thing the iphones have is almost speaker level

#

like maybe up to 100hz

astral haven
#

nowhere near as good as the steam controller ofc but they are working on it

misty saffron
astral haven
misty saffron
#

that is also an issue

empty wren
#

Yes but at least it trickles into midrange

astral haven
#

thing is

empty wren
#

Eventually maybe even that crappy $100 Amazon phone will get it

astral haven
#

an actual motor with a mass on the end will do the job better than the iphones

#

despite feeling worse to type with

misty saffron
#

the fact budget phones sound like fucking bees

astral haven
#

tbh the iphone is shockingly loud for the lack of vibration i feel

misty saffron
#

(a phone shouldn’t sound like a bee, generally)

astral haven
#

per unit amount of energy put into my leg i suspect most are around the same level

astral haven
empty wren
misty saffron
astral haven
#

yes but your ages old iphone (presumeably) doesnt transmit as much feeling into a leg if its in a pocket as those bee sounding ones

#

if apple had it in the past and just didnt have it in their new stuff that would be awful

empty wren
#

Or if they removed like 3d touch

misty saffron
#

that is true, don’t think i’ve ever had an issue identifying something has vibrated though

misty saffron
astral haven
#

yea my legs arent particularly sensitive (i guess), so its a bigger problem for me

empty wren
astral haven
#

and my s21 has a horrific bee problem if its on a table without a case and vibrates

#

when its in the case tho i can put it on my bedside table and it will actually vibrate my bed

empty wren
astral haven
#

my pockets are very thin

#

i only buy 1 type of pants and 1 type of shorts

#

i can just barely feel the iphone if its pressing against something, if im walking theres no chance

#

my samsung ive missed once or twice but its more rare

empty wren
misty saffron
#

that’s one pro of having hairy as fuck legs i guess

astral haven
#

what?

#

not feeling phone isnt a pro?

misty saffron
#

was referring to not looking the greatest in shorts due to a fucking jungle on my legs, guess i have to appreciate it now dogekek

astral haven
#

i just avoid caring outside of work, and at work its supposed to be business attire anyways

astral haven
empty wren
#

Fair enough

#

Also hollow one more thing to this is how the manufacturer implements vibrations to the ui

#

Android manufacturers vary these

#

iOS might have it implemented across the UI far more or like how iOS had the vibrator linked to ringtone song that was only a recent addition to stock android.
