Yeah maybe someday they can do it on the backside

That would be hella sick

[halcyon moss]

'm.2 hat is announced it something, but not at release

[empty wren]

Oh right these things have hats

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

m.2 hat

all the official resellers that ship to ireland are all from UK .-.

so id have to pay import tax

Fuck Brexit

[reef patrol]

Time for a day trip?

[wheat plume]

96 + shipping 😢

[empty wren]

move to brexit problem solved

besides boris

[wheat plume]

move to Brexit :')

most peope in Brexit want to leave it :')

OOO Farnell has Irish subdomain

We are working with our partners to bring you the first 2 FSR3 enabled games tomorrow. More titles will begin ramping-up thereafter, as we saw with prior versions of FSR, which are now supported in over 300 announced games @amdradeon @AMDGaming

Twitter · Sep 28, 2023, 8:43 PM

[wheat plume]

yes...

never had a Pi before ;-;

[empty wren]

Then go to bakery

They have Pi Es there

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

what would you even use it for that you cant do with your current setup

[wheat plume]

nothing but I wanna mess with it, small PCB computers are fascinating

[wheat plume]

LOL

[empty wren]

What about the ad thing blocker?

[astral haven]

this is incredible!

[wheat plume]

cant

dont have router

[empty wren]

Ahh

[wheat plume]

it would only work when I turn hotspot on my phone

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume send to me

I'll forward

[wheat plume]

and I cant make sure other devices wont connect first

[empty wren]

Requires many extra steps?

[wheat plume]

no

[astral haven]

afaik it doesnt work as well on the older ones any more

but i have it running on a 3 no problemo

pretty large lists, and this doesnt really include any ads, just trackers

[thick elk]

Personally would run pihole on my router if I wanted to, but haven't felt the need.
Browser / adaway on android works well enough, I also noticed that sometimes you need to quickly work around it and changing dns servers seems like a bother.

[devout raptor]

things are looking pretty nice

[vagrant pagoda]

i just have pfsense

[empty wren]

Wow on the router, how would that work?

[vagrant pagoda]

and have it automaticly done

[normal sapphire]

lol

[thick elk]

Nanopi R4S running openwrt

[empty wren]

So open source firmware i see

[vagrant pagoda]

old pc + pfsense = zoom zoom

[thick elk]

I like using openwrt everywhere, but it has its annoyances. Old pc would also work but the place where I have mine is rather small and I wanted something lower power.

It suits my needs fine for gbit.

At the very least much better than whatever crap my provider gives me

think the cheapest possible router with a fiber port and it's last firmware update in 2017 or so

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a 35w ryzen in a itx machine

as i have fiber

i forget what model, one of the pros

[thick elk]

Fair enough but a pi cm4 or nanopi worked for me and I am fine with it.

[wheat plume]

Android 14 on Pixel tablet is getting a feature to force apps to certain aspects ratios to make them fill the entire tablet screen

[vagrant pagoda]

i also do other shit on there too

router dose all my certs

and serves them up

[astral haven]

yea a pi at full load is less than any desktop ryzen board (at idle)

[thick elk]

I just have wireguard on there but mostly don't heavily use it.

[vagrant pagoda]

but no 10g

[astral haven]

i havent even bothered, since cloudflare one is free

[astral haven]

thats quitter talk lel

[vagrant pagoda]

lmao

they barely do gbit

[astral haven]

shhhhh

it has enough bandwidth between the usb and pcie to pass most of 6 gig

[thick elk]

I could go 10G but the costs switching to a provider that offers it and infrstructure costs made it not worth it for me at least.

[astral haven]

and im on measly 300/20 10

[vagrant pagoda]

wait nvm

its matx

[thick elk]

been on 1000/1000 for ages

[vagrant pagoda]

it just has one riser card spot

been a while

[astral haven]

i could be, but the only option is att 🤮

[vagrant pagoda]

it has the asrock rack x470

in a supermicro chassy

[astral haven]

att actually offers 5g/5g

[vagrant pagoda]

1u

i have a old intel dual 10g fiber card in it

[astral haven]

the x470 chip probably consumes more power than the pi on its own lel

[thick elk]

Well it's better than my parents vacation apartment in france, we moved from vdsl to 4g at the edge of the antenna's usable range.
Neither are great

4g is a bit less slow but also a bit less reliable.

[astral haven]

better antenna?

directional for the win

[vagrant pagoda]

mobo has dual 10g ethernet but i dont use it

[thick elk]

Not that really, it just so happened that that part is kind of in a weak spot in town.
It is also just for a year and a half and mostly vacations.

After that time we will have fiber there.

[vagrant pagoda]

ik have a 4g as backup

but its just a phone with no battery lol

[thick elk]

So we just rent the provider one for that time, of course there are better options otherwise (in hind sight choosing a different provider with an antenna really close) but yea.

Chances are they place a new antenna somewhere closer as there has been a lot of new construction in the town so it make sense to build better coverage for the weak spots.

[vagrant pagoda]

though ive used it like twice for actual failure

its better for bypassing ip blocks when i need to lol

[wheat plume]

I hope people won't be purchasing all the Pi 5s and scalping them again .-.

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

[devout raptor]

which ~200€ headphones have the loudest and best bass? like I know thats not what audiophiles opt for, but I just love that subwoofer bass that you can feel in your chest

[devout raptor]

lmao

[astral terrace]

rtings has a list of headphones and you can sort by bass accuracy, not necessarily the loudest but guarantees the bass is good. i use the hyper x cloud alpha cause it is a bass goat. most of the expensive headphones kinda suck at bass, so more money sadly cant get you something better than the cloud alphas.

[devout raptor]

i was literally thinking of just getting clouds for the bass

apparently cloud 2s are better than alphas, is this true?

also hows the wireless cloud 2s

[thorny mirage]

Hd800s

[astral terrace]

from the subjective opionions online there is basicly no difference and some say that the alpha are better some say 2 is better. The wireless are significantly worse in sound quality and latency, so imo dont get it.

but yeh the wire is super annoying on the alpha, wish there was something better but there realy isnt

[devout raptor]

oh some guy was claiming the wireless had better sound lol

[astral terrace]

bruh

audio is highly subjective so maybe it coudl be better to him

i would stick to rtings and you cant be that far off from an objective standpoint

[devout raptor]

yeah

alphas have a detachable cable which is good

2s have that usb dongle with the 7.1

[astral terrace]

i recomend any of these headphones probably look into reviews for them aswell, https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/table/120241

the reason why the hyper x cloud alphas are a goat is cause high bass and mid accuracy which is basicly edm music

[devout raptor]

sounds like ill get them then

[coarse cloak]

🤔 never seen people unironically recommend hyperx headphones for music before (but I have no experience w that)

[hardy solstice]

does anyone know a way to fix the wooting website not detecting my keyboard?

[astral terrace]

there are a few headphones on the list that stat wise seem objectively better than the hyperx but i havent used thoose

i would say unplug replug

[hardy solstice]

ive tried lol

[astral terrace]

yeh

delete all usb devices

might help

[coarse cloak]

dont do that

what browser?

[astral haven]

Hyperx sometimes uses takstar as their oem
And takstar makes some nice stuff sometimes

For closed backs under 100 the options are rather limited

If you also want a mic it's either the coolermaster mh751/2 or something from hyperx

(the coolermaster is also takstar obviously)

[wheat plume]

https://9to5google.com/2023/09/26/nothing-cmf-smartwatch-earbuds-release/

Nice smartwatch xd

I'd get it .. want a smartwatch

And this is cheap

How tf is this so cheap?

[rough osprey]

phones be getting pretty good reviews

[wheat plume]

I do love their aesthetic
Other than the font

[rough osprey]

isnt that like most phone brands

[wheat plume]

But yeah the lights on the back are gimmicky

I miss Android Beam :'(

[rough osprey]

more of a design brand ig

Hardware and software

[wheat plume]

Nearby Share is not reliable but Beam was

[rough osprey]

that's isn't expensive also

[empty wren]

Do you know what android beam was?

[wheat plume]

Yeah.... I used to use it way back on Nexus 7

[empty wren]

So you know it was a Bluetooth transfer of files?

[wheat plume]

To send shit between my tablet and phone

Yeah but done better than the regular way you send over Bluetooth

[empty wren]

Fair enough

[wheat plume]

No need to pair the phones first

And whatnot

[empty wren]

Have you tried a transfer over a WiFi hotspot or a offline network between two devices

[wheat plume]

That's technically what Kde Connect is.... So yeah

Lots of times

[empty wren]

Significantly faster I bet

[wheat plume]

Yes

[empty wren]

But I get your point

Technically nearby share can be like airdrop

Or I mean like someone can share a file out and people nearby can accept it

[wheat plume]

It wants to work similar but it rarely detected the device :/

When it works it's really nice

[empty wren]

Unfortunate

Works well for me

[wheat plume]

Maybe cause you always have location and Bluetooth on at all times?

[empty wren]

Nope

[wheat plume]

Oh

[empty wren]

I have Bluetooth off mostly

[astral haven]

FYI many devices have settings that limit the allowed devices to connect with nearby share

[wheat plume]

Mine is set to anyone xd

[astral haven]

I had to change it on my mom's phone to contacts to beam some vids to her

[empty wren]

Fascinating

[empty wren]

That sounds good

[wheat plume]

YouTube... Wtf

Why TF would I want to watch this??

[empty wren]

To spread the word of God of course

[wheat plume]

There are many things I wanna spread but that's not one of them

[final flame]

lemme guess it's probably it's own app
or uses a rainmeter skin, would be funnier if it's the latter

[wheat plume]

Most likely rainmeter

[crisp granite]

you'd be shocked at how powerful such things are

[astral haven]

Sketchy preorder for a 40ppd microoled vr headset

4k per eye

75% the resolution of the vision pro and under double the quest 3

[gusty kiln]

oh damn

but yeah really sketch

[astral haven]

https://vr-compare.com/headset/pico5promax

oooooooh

1100, higher res than the apple, although lcd, but standalone + wired support

[gusty kiln]

interesting, but I'm not in the market for a full on VR set

[astral haven]

?

[gusty kiln]

just thinking out loud

what panel type?

[astral haven]

reread my message lel

unknown, presumeably ips

[gusty kiln]

ah

[astral haven]

thats verifiably untrue

the power of memes is great

thats not an opinion

it is a fact that memes (like religion) have a very large effect in the world

https://varjo.com/products/aero/
Oh my god this week in vr is insane

the aero price got cut in half

where deckard 😦

[final flame]

Who knew a thing to give people to look toward to after death would be so powerful

[crisp granite]

um...yeah...

no

funnily enough, quite the opposite

perhaps disappearing in the more recent generations, but naturally, something filled that void

[crisp granite]

HOLY SHIT

considering the tech...that's a steal

I just...

deckard

when

:)

[vagrant pagoda]

do any games do eyetracked redering on pc?

or is that a psvr2 thing still

[crisp granite]

pretty sure it's just a PSVR2 thing

[astral haven]

incorrect, there are ways to inject it into any pc game

its just janky outside of a few titles

[crisp granite]

so there's no existing framework

where as PSVR2 probably...does

[astral haven]

its built into steamvr

[vagrant pagoda]

ah

i knew ive seen dcs with it

[astral haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW-4O09DPoA

I would be shocked if it didn't use dfr to get the most out of the relatively weak console gpu

[true quest]

yarrrrrr'

[final flame]

you wont ever feel headphones in your chest, you want pa speakers

if you truly want the loudest bass, you can't get anything more than a skullcandy crusher

if you actually want something with quality bass, then the easiest option is just to take a already bassy audiophile headphone like the dt770pro
and Eq it up

[mild dome]

Some amps also allow you to have headphones + subwoofer

[final flame]

The ploopy aren't bass heavy
they're eq friendly

it comes with a dsp that's used to tune them

[astral haven]

it can do dc

ive seen many diy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Bkrypxzs4

combine those with some of these and you have yourself an insane setup for a grand diy

[halcyon moss]

Only the "good" ones I guess :p

[wheat plume]

Ok....
This is fucking wild
https://youtube.com/shorts/Xpt9CrAQPGQ

[devout raptor]

ah i see

hows the cloud 2 vs dt770 in your opinion?

finding an amp is a bit difficult

i know nothing about them and I also need a microphoke

[halcyon moss]

What do you need an Amp for?

The 80 ohm version has no trouble being driven by your mobo

Or laptop, or phone dingle

I wish our DB runs on a more powerful cpu and faster ssd

[devout raptor]

Im not sure

im a complete newbie with this stuff

[reef patrol]

#Pain

[fair gull]

#USBAdapter things

my gf also has massive issues with her usb wifi

planning to get her the same PCIe card i use

[reef patrol]

Gonna throw it back at the seller tomorrow. It was fine for the first couple of weeks, and then suddenly started doing this.

[fair gull]

yep

i think i got like 3 different usb wireless things for my gf at this point

[hollow carbon]

With the festive season of Christmas just around the corner, consider bestowing upon your loved ones the invaluable gift of a reliable and high-speed internet connection. Equip them with a generous 60-meter Ethernet cable to ensure seamless connectivity and online enjoyment during this joyful time of year.

[fair gull]

i wanna lay eth at some point but not now

[hollow carbon]

For a few years, I simply ran an Ethernet cable throughout the hallways, kitchen, and office. It was more like a decorative blue cable to spruce up the place.
Also, a tripping hazard, so it always keeps you on alert.

[raw zephyr]

skill issue

[fair gull]

well i wanna do it right to not have a tripping hazard and also cats

[reef patrol]

I've had to do that temporarily. I use large deskmats to avoid tripping 😄

[young pecan]

Can't even begin to tell you how many ethernet cables there are running in this building like that.

It's fine though, so long as nobody ever screws up there's never a tripping hazard.
Landlord is not impressed but so far has not actually told us not to.

[solemn remnant]

so as long as no one trips there's no tripping hazard

[young pecan]

- Ketamine Yoda```

[hollow carbon]

Instead of an Ethernet cable going across the entire house to reach my room, it has been redone so that the lead-in wire now runs directly outside the wall to my room. The walls here do not handle Wi-Fi or cell signals well.

[young pecan]

See now that's actually smart.

We just ran a bundle of cables tucked up into the corner of the ceiling with enough adhesive that it's probably not coming down, that leads upstairs to a switch that's also adhered to the ceiling which splits to the PCs which go under the corner of the doorframe.

Never a problem if the landlord doesn't see.

And like she's not impressed by it but didn't actually tell us not to, so that's a go ahead if I've ever heard one.

[ashen spindle]

Oh hey FSR3 is out on the first games

And seems to be be about the same as frame generation

[old marlin]

which games have it so far

[ashen spindle]

Forspoken and Aveum

[old marlin]

[halcyon moss]

they need it :p

[old marlin]

could they have picked worse titles

[ashen spindle]

Hey it’s a start and yeah

[halcyon moss]

Aveum is a good test with al its particles

[old marlin]

ig?

[young pecan]

Do we have a reason why it wasn't put in more popular stuff? I'd figure this is the kind of thing you try and get on something important.

[ashen spindle]

Because it will get into more stuff

Just see how man fsr games there are now

[young pecan]

This. Like why?

[ashen spindle]

I mean existing deals and all probably

[old marlin]

I mean

end goal was to be able to activate it for any game

iirc?

or well

any dx12 game at least

[ashen spindle]

Yes

Well, implementations in games and then later a driver version for anything

[young pecan]

Like why not put it in a cod release or something like CP2077 that has an upcoming DLC then? Like there's no shot AMD of all companies can't just talk to a dev team a few months in advance and strike something up.

[old marlin]

not upcoming

dlc is out

[ashen spindle]

They also said September release so they just needed some games that could do it this month

[young pecan]

Yes but it would have been upcoming months ago, sir.

[old marlin]

also cdpr has been notoriously nvidia biased

[young pecan]

That's what I mean. Drum up more hype.

[old marlin]

cp2077 was also one of the featured games afaik

[ashen spindle]

Cdpr is not going to work with Nvidia to make pathtracing and then become a showcase for fsr3 on release lololololol

[old marlin]

I think they just try to do a test run that nobody will care about outside technical aspects?

[ashen spindle]

Jensen ain’t allowing that

This is just them keeping the September release they set

It will come to more and then in Q1 or whenever it’s in driver form for all

[old marlin]

[young pecan]

What game?

[old marlin]

forspoken

[young pecan]

Yikes lmfao.

[old marlin]

immortals of aveum is even more grim

[young pecan]

It's almost as though making a main character nobody can tolerate isn't a smart choice.

[old marlin]

granted, that is just steam players

but immortals of aveum never broke the 1000 players

I don't think those are the main issues

the game just looks like a mess

and the xbox versions were absolute nightmares graphically

dunno how pc performance is

but that was offputting enough

[cursive summit]

The 4 people that play that game, apparently said that FSR3 is incredible in Forspoken

No artifacts, great perf boost

Input lag and latency probably needs to be measured

[young pecan]

Can't actually tell if 4 is legit numbers or not.

It could be.

It really could.

[cursive summit]

It's legit as far as I know

Nobody plays that game

[old marlin]

more people than legends of aveum

[young pecan]

Yikes, that bad?

[old marlin]

forspoken even had not just 1000 steam players at once

but also 10000

[cursive summit]

It's not that bad

But.. pretty bad

[old marlin]

the UI was also

something

not as bad as xenoblade 3

[cursive summit]

Dead games lol

[old marlin]

or skull and bones (kek)

but still bad

[young pecan]

Bad UX in the era of machine learning should be punishable by death, ngl.

Death or permaban from UX design.

[old marlin]

remember, the same people complain about elden ring UX

[young pecan]

I mean it's dated as fuck, that UX.

[old marlin]

because it isn't giving you 17 bars

[old marlin]

not really?

[young pecan]

Lmao no.

[old marlin]

elden ring UX is quite minimal

which is a very recent thing

[young pecan]

Design lang is dated, functionality is dated, pretty much everything about it screams 'fromsoft 2013'.

[cursive summit]

This is a joke lol

Forspoken and Aveum have less players than a 20 year old game

[old marlin]

[young pecan]

Like having a deliberately dated UX is fine, don't get me wrong, and Elden Ring goes for it.

But calling it not dated is smooth brain.

Not a wrinkle in sight.

[old marlin]

I really don't see how it is dated

it's just fairly minimal

[young pecan]

I mean... look at it.

[old marlin]

yea

[cursive summit]

Elder Scrolls Arena and Daggerfall have about the same amount of players as Aveum lol

[old marlin]

[cursive summit]

Aveum is a 2023 launch right?

[old marlin]

the daggerfall unity enjoyers

[cursive summit]

How's it completely dead

[old marlin]

yes

it's like a month old

[old marlin]

always has been

[young pecan]

Coolio, that same UX Fromsoft has been using for almost a decade. Daaaaaaated.

[cursive summit]

A month old launch and it's dead?

What went wrong lol

[old marlin]

idk

[young pecan]

Like legit I think there are landmarks in the world that've evolved more than Fromsoft in the same time Fromsoft has existed.

[old marlin]

ea originals are a bad omen apparently

[young pecan]

Fromsoft is legit slower than geological change.

[old marlin]

the only games that performed well under it are either sequels or sequels by heart

[old marlin]

if it ain't broke...

[young pecan]

Stupid take.

That just equals stagnation.

[cursive summit]

https://www.reuters.com/technology/meta-signal-future-arvr-investments-annual-connect-conference-2023-09-27/

[old marlin]

it's not like they didn't change other systems

the UX still works well for that

no need to reinvent the wheel when when you are working with a mostly known formula

[young pecan]

That's what we all really want, From to release the same game with a different skin and a handful of gimmicks, I love game stagnation when one of the best devs ever refuses to take risks or improve their own formula because that'd be slightly risky.

[old marlin]

if armored core had the same UI it would be a different thing

[young pecan]

That game should have looked nicer.

They had the perfect opportunity to be Crysis 3 but for the 4090.

We'd be hearing 'Can it run AC6' for the next 8 years.

[old marlin]

also like most of the soulslikes just clone the general UX

[old marlin]

that is like every AA/AAA game

and ig it is cyberpunk for now

they just keep need to implement a stupider rt version with each new gpu gen

[ashen spindle]

No if we got crysis now people would complain about lack of optimization instead

[young pecan]

Nah I mean AC had such an opportunity to push it. Imagine full speed across a city with RT to max. What frames per second? We got frames per minute.

[old marlin]

by the time the 7090 comes out we will have a 0% rasterized renderer

[young pecan]

fr

Though it wasn't even due to that why it ran so badly.

Just loaded down GPUs so aggressively.

[ashen spindle]

Nah it did a lot of bad things like some places had meshes with so many polygons you’d think it was tessellated

[young pecan]

Not saying it was great, but the textures for the time were way too much for most GPUs.

ig a 1080Ti could handle it sorta, but that wasn't excellent, just 'pretty well playable'.

[cursive summit]

In..teresting

Looks like a typical AMD slide?

[wheat plume]

My mouse got delivered but they dropped it off to a local dropoff point and I wont be able to collect it for another few hours ;-;

[cursive summit]

Although why does that slide looks like it's made in excel lol

With the underline and everything

[young pecan]

Might've been?

[old marlin]

yes

[cursive summit]

So, this is zen 5

[pale sigil]

Oh noes, a few hours xd

[cursive summit]

15% IPC uplift isn't incredible but a solid jump for Zen 5

[ashen spindle]

No that’s mild hallucinations

[cursive summit]

But hey it has the "AMD confidential" branding

Surely it's real

Right? Surely?

[old marlin]

does it

all I see is moores law is dead watermarks

[cursive summit]

Idk I think it's fake from the fact that's just not how AMD slides look

[young pecan]

But that's just what AMD WANTS YOU TO THINK. >.>

[ashen spindle]

Well you got time till like CES or so for official slides

Like zen5 having 4 loads 2 stores is correct but not like mlids audience knows what that means they just look at ipc numbers and those seem very off

[cursive summit]

Did discord go down under?

Nyo seems this is fine, just PC client is forked

I'm sorry?

Same thing

They doing something on the backend

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-gb202-gpu-rumored-to-feature-192-sms-and-512-bit-memory-bus-according-to-kopite7kimi

Some Blackwell news

Seems that 5090 will be a bit of a monster

[reef patrol]

Always fun when Discord shits the bed.

Several servers also went down for a bit there, including my ability to write here - but I could still see new posts 😄

[solar hinge]

i refreshed the desktop program... and now i have this

[pale sigil]

And yet we still haven't got rid of you

[reef patrol]

OR you.

[cursive summit]

Discord without you two would be great

Let me take over, for the ultimate discord experience

[fair gull]

https://tenor.com/view/burn-gif-20530397

[cursive summit]

121ms is still pretty good though

That don't look like 121 though

[ashen spindle]

It does just like FG

All of them have AA included

[old marlin]

or the boards they already sold

[old marlin]

or caps

just a disclaimer, if you bought rama kara caps

try your best to get a refund

the manu has been trying to sell the toolings recently

probably because someone hasn't been paying their bills

[mild dome]

Rama has taken peops money, but aren't delivering

[cursive summit]

https://youtu.be/08lIzIwRb7c

So, apparently FSR AA looks better than native

FG has no noticeable visual artifacts

But there is input lag and judder

[cursive summit]

What the fuck is Discord doing

The client keeps doing the whole "you have been blocked" thing

[sharp badger]

Dunno it's not happening here 😅

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AORUS-PRO-X#kf This would've fit nicely into my current build but FFS why can't they put Debug displays on motherboards 😤

[halcyon moss]

that vid is terrible

[sharp badger]

Also the S23U zoom is quite a nifty feature to have

[vagrant pagoda]

They make pcie debug cards

It hooks to the header on the board

The TPM header

I have Elmores but its discontinued

But there are copies out there

[halcyon moss]

even at 4k that vid looks hardly above 720p

[cursive summit]

Until someone competent makes a comparison, that's the best we have

All I'm seeing is that people on Nvidia hardware are pretty happy with FSR

Fuck Discord seriously, I had to download a new client just for their shit to work

Discord Canary, seems like an early test build

Cause main client is still not fixed

[young pecan]

Cloudflare issues.

Seeeeeeeems to be a pattern forming.

[cursive summit]

No, couldn't be

Could it? Noo, no way

[young pecan]

But no Cloudflare is probably gonna have shit fixed soon enough. They’re usually pretty good at this.

[cursive summit]

Cloud got hit by a DDoS wave somewhere?

[young pecan]

Or just a screwy update or something.

It happens sometimes. Given they run like 80% of the internet connectivity they’re really good at getting stuff working again.

More testing FSR3. The new upscaling algo (2.3x?) is very good, in-gameplay, in-motion, I can not tell apart vs DLSS.

The shimmering artifact on grass & water in the title screen is obvious, but in-game it's gone.

Has minor artifact on smoke particles & cloud, pixellation.

Oh they released a new FSR2 model?

2.2 was the latest, 2.3 is new

https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/darpa-is-funding-ai-to-help-make-battlefield-decisions

Wtf https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/14/22976656/xscreen-review-xbox-series-s-screen-portable-console

So, apparently this has now passed QA and is officially "Designed for Xbox" https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1707591549603745949/photo/1

[cursive summit]

249.99$ screen for a 299$ console

[hasty thunder]

FSR3, not 2.3

[cursive summit]

Nyumi

You do know that FSR3 doesn't work without FSR2

[ashen spindle]

Fsr3 is frame generation 2.x is the upscaling

[cursive summit]

You have to upscale then interpolate

For some reason

[hasty thunder]

Why would they wanna go for 2.3 when they release 3 instead for a ton of GPUs?

[cursive summit]

Cause none of these frame generators work without an upscaler

[ashen spindle]

Because they are different things

[cursive summit]

Upscaler is still a critical component for some reason

[ashen spindle]

One is an upscale one generates fake frames from interpolation

[cursive summit]

After they are upscaled, mind you

Neither NV or AMD offer FG without an upscaler yet

Idk about Intel but they don't even have FG yet, maybe XeSS won't be a hard requirement

[ashen spindle]

That’s something else the tech is still separate it’s just used in conjunction

[hasty thunder]

speaking of... Who said AMD would release FSR3 for older Gens at the launch of Phantom Liberty?

[cursive summit]

Nobody said that

But they did

[ashen spindle]

It will come to PL and older gens but not on launch

[cursive summit]

FSR3 works on Nvidia and AMD cards

I saw peeps running FSR3 on rtx2000 series cards

[hasty thunder]

Checked the Patch Notes for 23.9.1 and there's no mention of FSR3 for the RX 5k and 6k series GPUs

[ashen spindle]

It’s not a driver thing

[cursive summit]

You're not looking hard enough

[ashen spindle]

The driver version FMF is coming next year

[cursive summit]

Also for all we know is that Polaris can still probably use FSR3

The driver is out for RX 400 and RX 500 series methinks

But they got no clue if it does anything there

[cursive summit]

Hmm "AFMF is recommended to be enabled for games running at a minimum fps of 55 FPS for 1080p displays, and 70 FPS for 1440p or above displays. "

I hope that it's good

Cause FG for ANY game is a pretty solid proposal

[cursive summit]

https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/amd-fsr-3-now-available/ba-p/634265?sf269320079=1

Cool

The most interesting part is that "It is recommended to use AMD FSR 3 with VSync. Additionally, it is recommended that Enhanced Sync is disabled."

https://twitter.com/Sebasti66855537/status/1707713712134525335

Sebastian Castellanos (@Sebasti66855537)

Forspoken "PC latency" testing with FSR 3 FG ON vs OFF:

1440p FSR 3 AA+FG OFF: 99 FPS/~24 ms PC avg latency;

1440p FSR 3 AA+FG ON: 180 FPS/~20 ms avg PC latency;

1440p FSR 3 AA+FG ON+Reflex ON+Boost: 175 FPS/~9 ms avg PC latency.

No idea what to make of these results TBH...

[pale sigil]

Wait

Fsr has fg?

Anyone can use it?

[cursive summit]

Welcome back to the human realm

You are late by what, a year?

[pale sigil]

Isn't that what Nvidia are locking behind 40 series

[cursive summit]

Yes

And AMD are giving it to all cards

[pale sigil]

Is it as good though

[cursive summit]

Seems that it's just as good

They also updated FSR2

Apparently now it matches DLSS2 roughly

AMD AFMF seems to be on a preview driver and that thing is nuts, it's frame generation for all games

[pale sigil]

Genuinely big

If it gets me more fps than dlss

[old marlin]

fsr3 does

and long term not just anyone can use it

but anyone can activate it for any dx11 and dx12 title

with no extra support from devs needed

[ashen spindle]

yeah but not to the same extent, but still a nice step

[cursive summit]

Uh, no

[old marlin]

would assume so

as in not in the exact same extent

[cursive summit]

FSR3 will be built into Unreal Engine for delevoper ease

[old marlin]

still a big step

[cursive summit]

FSR3 has to be enabled by developers

What you're thinking about is Fluid Motion Frames

[old marlin]

would be quite different from what was promised

[cursive summit]

That's a driver toggle

[ashen spindle]

you do realize FMF and FSR3 are basically the same

[cursive summit]

AFMF is a driver toggle and "frame generation" for all games

[cursive summit]

They are not

[ashen spindle]

functionally they both interpolate frames via extremely similar methods and one just has more info to work with from the game directly

[gusty kiln]

What's the early impression of fsr3?

[cursive summit]

You just said why it's not the same

[ashen spindle]

dear god the thing it does is basically the same just the quality at the end isnt

[cursive summit]

Seems it's very positive, didn't see anything negative other than a few pieces of advice how to optimize the experience

Seems that Vsync is extremely important, and there's some people noticing input lag

[old marlin]

from what I have seen it is on par with dlss frame generation

[ashen spindle]

ofc there is input lag, it doesnt just do the bad parts of dlss3 away

[gusty kiln]

Oh wow that's promising

[ashen spindle]

we need more games than just the current two to see it properly

[astral haven]

https://tpucdn.com/review/counter-strike-2-benchmark-test-performance-analysis/images/performance-1920-1080.png
Very strange, i would have expected amd to take a lead considering that it is a fast paced game

[cursive summit]

FMF is out so it'll be interesting to see if GN makes a little video seeing on the visual impact

On some games that normally would never get FSR3 either

[wheat plume]

WWOOO

[gusty kiln]

If you want this mouse to be lighter, use a lithium AAA with an adapter

[wheat plume]

Nah I'm good
This is really light already

[astral haven]

just using the aa lithium is alot more convenient

and it lasts forever

[gusty kiln]

Either or

[wheat plume]

It came with a battery

Very cool

[gusty kiln]

Rare these days

[cursive summit]

G305 has no internal rechargeable battery?

[gusty kiln]

Nope

[wheat plume]

No
Is replaceable

[cursive summit]

I guess the fact that rechargeable AAAs exist is pretty nice

[astral haven]

it uses aas not aaas

[cursive summit]

But I kinda like ones with internal battery more

[astral haven]

if you want aaas you have to get an adapter

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

What's this for

[cursive summit]

Dock?

[gusty kiln]

You'll ideally want the dongle as close to the mouse as possible

[steep creek]

Range extender

[astral haven]

for if you have a metal desk and the signal doesnt reach

[wheat plume]

Oh

[cursive summit]

I do feel kinda sad, my Viper Ultimate's dock has died for some reason

Don't have the convenience charging

[gusty kiln]

My dock still works

[cursive summit]

Idk why mine just stopped working

[gusty kiln]

Even after wiggling it on the dock?

[cursive summit]

Hm lemme check

[gusty kiln]

I have to do that a few times

[cursive summit]

Well I heard it connect

[gusty kiln]

Just need the pins to align perfectly

Yeah

[cursive summit]

And Razer service launched lol

Wait, am I supposed to install Synapse for the dock to work?

That would make no sense

[gusty kiln]

Can't wait to get rid of synapse

[cursive summit]

But I don't have Synapse and I'm not installing that trash

Is that why it's not working?

[gusty kiln]

It'll charge

[cursive summit]

Like, that can't make any sense, why would Synapse prevent charging dock from working

[gusty kiln]

Just won't show from leds

[cursive summit]

Well as far as I'm seeing it's not responding at all to being docked

[gusty kiln]

Hmm

Well if you ever want a similar shape without the software bullshit, get the vaxee xe wireless

[cursive summit]

I'm not buying a new mouse thanks

I have what works well and I'm good with that

[gusty kiln]

I also ripped the side grips off of my viper

[cursive summit]

My Vipers side grips are absolutely destroyed lol

They are less grips now and more like plains

[gusty kiln]

Took a lot of alcohol

[cursive summit]

Completely mushed

What can you even replace them with

[gusty kiln]

Any grip tape

[cursive summit]

I know razer sells some tape for them or something

[gusty kiln]

I'm using it bare atm

Surprisingly usable

But I have grips in the mail

Next week

[cursive summit]

Cute

I guess I'll hit up Synapse and uninstall after to figure out if the damn dock is dead or not

It definitely connects but I don't see it charge the mouse

I'm uninstalling Synapse right after cause I have a major OCD for background apps

Anything that runs on startup that shouldn't run will get obliterated

Yeah it doesn't work I think

The charging symbol in Synapse only appears when I plug in the USB directly into Viper

[wheat plume]

gonna match these settings on the g305

man this mouse is nice

so light

[gusty kiln]

@cursive summit

[wheat plume]

maybe I have to plug it directly into the computer for it to work??

[cursive summit]

Ew

[old marlin]

it's more about shifting the balance to the front tbh

[gusty kiln]

Yeah needs a wipe

[old marlin]

you can't plug the g305 in

it is wireless only

and dongle only

[wheat plume]

then how tf can i get Piper to see it???

[old marlin]

idk

is it supported in piper

[wheat plume]

yes

[old marlin]

can you send me an image with the back cover taken off the mouse

[wheat plume]

uh

[old marlin]

like where the battery goes

[old marlin]

ok good

not a fake one

[wheat plume]

??

oh?

[old marlin]

there are a lot of fake ones around nowadays

[wheat plume]

I doubt the logitech website would ship me a fake one

[old marlin]

fair

[wheat plume]

LOL

the scroll is faster too

it scrolls more than my other mouse

[old marlin]

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/xf47rg/ratbagctl_and_piper_not_detecting_my_g305/

[wheat plume]

legit just found that xd

[old marlin]

as in it has tighter angles per step

or each step does more scrolling

[wheat plume]

🤔 wtf is VIA Labs

guess whatever the steam deck dock uses

[cursive summit]

You don't know who VIA are?

[wheat plume]

huh?

[old marlin]

they mainly do USB controllers nowadays

[wheat plume]

aha

[cursive summit]

Is VIA labs a subsidiary of the other, bigger VIA?

[old marlin]

they used to make chipsets

[cursive summit]

Ah they are

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_Technologies

VIA is a pretty important company

[frozen ingot]

so we're looking at a self-inflicted case of linux here again

[wheat plume]

lets see now

AYO

[old marlin]

when software working is enough reason for an "AYO"

[wheat plume]

I tried to start the service already and it failed

but I got the service name wrong

so that was y bad

Yep, add it to the list

[wheat plume]

UUGGHHHHHHHHHHHH Piper doesnt let you map Media keys to the buttons ;-;

[crisp granite]

yes it was

I used it once or twice

rather helpful, but... game changing

[crimson wigeon]

Yes it does let you do media keys, just use macros to achieve it

[wheat plume]

idk the shortcut for "Media Next"

etc etc

[crimson wigeon]

Just uh press it on your keyboard?

[wheat plume]

these

[wheat plume]

thse buttons are all assigned to my mouse buttons

[reef patrol]

why

[wheat plume]

a little

[final flame]

meze does so damn good at design but man do most of their products just not perform that good

in a way the sound could be appealing
good for a casual non analytical listen

[gusty kiln]

WTF, discord fucked up the numbering

[final flame]

is it worth the price not really, but it does have those traits

[gusty kiln]

yeah, massive bass hump

[final flame]

bass hump and not that detailed

[gusty kiln]

there we go

[final flame]

would be nice for a casual listen, but doesn't compare to other closed backs in the same price bracket

[gusty kiln]

yeah

?

[gusty kiln]

hope to see a 119 pro or something in the 1500 range

with an improved 109 driver

[final flame]

yea that could be cool, could outcompete the clearmg

[gusty kiln]

ah yeah that's true

might buy it using the newegg trade in

then trade in the 4070 when the 5000 series

[final flame]

maybe they use their planar drivers instead for a 119pro
instead of the dynamic in the 109

[gusty kiln]

[gusty kiln]

I can see that, but they are kinda polarizing in planar atm

[gusty kiln]

also hope focal refresh the clear soon

not everyone needs a custom watercooling loop

not all of us care for the maintenance involved

[wheat plume]

I think I made a mistake buying a wireless mouse

Cause now I noticed how much drag the cables caused and I hate it

[crisp granite]

get a mouse with a good cable then

[coarse cloak]

are paracord cables the best ones

the custom ones you mod to your mouse i mean

[crisp granite]

gonna be honest, yeah

[crisp granite]

gonna say no

read Zaunkoenig's blog

their cables...

they're something else entirely

[coarse cloak]

lemme see

[crisp granite]

I am so excited to buy an M3K when they come out

[coarse cloak]

oh okay they went full nerd on it, definitely probably the best cables rn

good tldr too

[crisp granite]

the goal of Zaunkoenig

in a nutshell

"the optimal gaming mouse"

they don't fuck around

[coarse cloak]

just like wooting

[crisp granite]

wooting takes a different approach to get to the same place

[rough osprey]

they dont work tho 😭

[crisp granite]

Zaunkoenig strips EVERYTHING that they deem unimportant
the M1K didn't even have a scroll wheel

[coarse cloak]

scroll wheel is important tho

[crisp granite]

Wooting has built a keyboard line with innovative features you won't see anywhere else to get an advantage

[coarse cloak]

yeah, challenge/revolutionize the market approach

[empty wren]

Steel series and razer want to know your location

[crisp granite]

funnily enough
the M2K had a scroll wheel, because that was a common complaint with the M1K

and then people suddenly wanted the M2K
without a scroll wheel

Weight savings I guess

finalmouse would've been a good brand if they had good PR, good QC and good management
so.. a big overhaul of the company ig

[crisp granite]

...yeah
but price ain't there...that mouse was going to be...a lot
and frankly...less than 25 grams is enough for me

the tartarus pro be like

analog

*not full range, shitty software bundled in, we don't actually give a shit because you'll buy it anyway

[coarse cloak]

[crisp granite]

anyway...
I am just waiting for ID Cooling to get that blessed amazon restock

I get that bambooler cooler

[coarse cloak]

whats the best cooler in the market rn

[crisp granite]

and...ITX PC can finally start

[coarse cloak]

or just best brand to go for

[crisp granite]

...still a steal

but their "install" video on youtube has a comment by their PR monkey stating that amazon will get a late september restock

it is...pretty much the latest september can be

[reef patrol]

[crisp granite]

hi there, PR duck

I mean...the thing is

ID Cooling kinda

they make great stuff

at shockingly good prices, probably barely above margin tbh

I wonder if they're really trying to capture market share here by targetting the very much undersaturated ITX air cooler space

Noctua better watch out

👀

perhaps in the fan game

but the low profile air coolers

that's effectively Noctua's game

[vagrant pagoda]

noctua games is fans that last for life

tons of oems use them

have for years

[crisp granite]

Thermalright used to have some INSANE ITX coolers

full copper

low profile

[vagrant pagoda]

noctua didnt just decide to make the industiral line, people were using them and they made better suited products for them

[crisp granite]

scary good performance

[vagrant pagoda]

i still have my true 120

[crisp granite]

really tricky to get your hands on here

[vagrant pagoda]

all copper

[crisp granite]

FrozenCPU did have em

but...

[vagrant pagoda]

thing is a brick

[vagrant pagoda]

new egg sold them

its like 2KG

the all copper

[crisp granite]

the ITX coolers are...somewhere around 600 grams iirc

[vagrant pagoda]

p1 is 1100g

lol

[crisp granite]

and it's a lot larger

the ITX coolers...those are really tiny lol

aluminium ones typically weigh a few hundred grams at most

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

true 120 is a single tower 120mm

and its 2kg

lol

[wheat plume]

The real test of the new mouse is playing Minecraft parkour maps

Lol

After I eat I'll do that

[crisp granite]

the real test of a new mouse is a CS match

[wheat plume]

LOL

Probably yeah

[crisp granite]

and seeing if it survives the swearing, weaponisation, etc

[wheat plume]

The sensitivity in game is going to be all fucked
I'ma have to get used to it being slightly faster

[crisp granite]

tbh, you would think it would at least irreparably bend the mobo over months and years

unless they built an absolutely impressive mount and support system

[wheat plume]

Not having the medie control keys is bothering me

I may need to install a Windows VM for this damn thing

[crisp granite]

dang

that is stout

and also not even close to what I'd imagined

I guess mobos are a lot less flimsy than my expectations

[wheat plume]

the button clicks are loud on this mouse

idk how to feel about it

but they feel nice to press, which is good

[crisp granite]

what is this mouse?

[wheat plume]

Logitech G305

[crisp granite]

you really bought the most outdated generic ass crap wireless mouse

welp
it works
well enough

...yeah shit was built different then

[wheat plume]

you wanna see outdated generic crap wireless mouse?

[crisp granite]

no, I have quite a few of those in my closet

next to my ex

[wheat plume]

This shit

[coarse cloak]

amazing

[wheat plume]

My only wireless mouse experience before today

And it was awful

Too fast
Clicks didnt register
Battery lasted 3 hours

ye!

[frozen ingot]

welcome to the decent wireless club

[wheat plume]

im not using the dongle extender cable, i dont think I need it

[frozen ingot]

I use my extension carging cable as holder for the dongle

its on the desk near the mouse

[wheat plume]

This far

Not far at all

[warm night]

the dock for the viper ultimate is nice cuz you can have the wireless reciever in it

its garbage as a charger though

the mouse barely ever actually starts charging when i put it on it

and that distance is perfectly fine but you can never be too close

(probably)

[wheat plume]

I love the shit Logitech does with some of its mice, they wirelessly charge as you use them if you have their PowerPlay mousepad

but my mouse cant use PowerPlay mat ;-;

[warm night]

yea thats cool and all but like it just means you have a stupid expensive pad & extra weight in the mouse

[wheat plume]

idk

I think one of thje mice that can use it is lighter than g305 xd

[warm night]

if you dotn care about weight then its probably pretty nice

[wheat plume]

my previous mouse is like 150g :')

[warm night]

or just AAA

[wheat plume]

im fine with the weight

[misty saffron]

and ideally not anywhere close to the router

[wheat plume]

my phone is almost next to the mouse..... which is my router

[misty saffron]

something tells me that can easily overpower the “antenna” in mouse

the phone - unlikely

[crisp granite]

...columbian ass gaming setup lmfao 💀

[misty saffron]

hey i’ve had to use my phone as the router for a couple of days

[wheat plume]

100ms ping gang .-.

the signal is great in my room tbh

just the ping is always garbage cause mobile data

got to go through the carrier's bullshit before it goes out to the internet

[misty saffron]

it doesn’t always have to be garbage

[wheat plume]

the what?

lol

doesnt it just go to sleep after not using it?

[wheat plume]

not sure

according to Solaar, the mouse is at 90% battery despite only being used for like 3 hours

whomst the fuck told me it lasts like a year?

[ashen spindle]

did it start at 100?

[wheat plume]

not sure...

the battery it came with might just have been idle for super long, idk when the mouse was packaged LOL

huh?

AA8??

WHY IS IT NEXT TO THE BATTERY TYPE?
