Hey chat I'm looking for a good iem headphone for under $300 also wondering if you just plug them into your computer or need a amp or something. Currently looking at getting the 7HZ Timeless.

little silo
#

@final flame Is it true that IEM's have no soundstage?

#

What does this mean for gaming use?

#

Because I can hear and locate footsteps well, but I also want to know what's better. I was thinking of getting HD6XXs.

astral haven
#

soundstage has 2 parts, added and reproduced
added is what most people talk about with headphones, and its actually bad for gaming
you just want what is the most accurate, and thats called imaging

little silo
astral haven
#

what do you want clarification on?

little silo
astral haven
#

generally iems are better up to stuff like the hd6xx tier, then headphones are better, but its really open vs closed, since there isnt much great closed headphone wise, and iems are all closed

#

if you have a buch of noise that will distract you, open isnt an option

little silo
#

And how can that be combated?

astral haven
#

noise as in what you hear with your headphones off

#

and to avoid it, you get closed back, and all iems are closed back (very few exceptions, none good)

odd compass
#

Also with open back people around you will hear what you are hearing to an extent

astral haven
#

if you can afford that, you should be looking at home theater setups not iems or headphones

odd compass
#

I use iems for fps games and closed back headphones for movies, YouTube and single player games

lean breach
#

hey man, just received my Dusks today - and theres some static coming through the IEMS via one of the two pin connectors on the DSP cable, so i was thinking about ditching those and custom eq-ing them via a 3.5mm cable

#

just had some questions regarding the AutoEQ stuff, does that eq everything audio-wise on the pc or can i specify what i want it for?

late grove
#

With one exception.

That thing potentially sounds wider than HD800S. However it is VERY uncomfortable. I wanted to get one but unfortunately I just cannot wear it for more than 10 minutes.

old marlin
#

some of them are REALLY bad

late grove
#

But yes I would not recommend investing in those. Not worth it.

#

@lean breachPut your EQ file in the config folder

#

Open Editor.exe

#

It should automatically open config.txt
In there click on + then control -> include configuration file

#

Then select the EQ file you want to use.

#

Down here you can check if your EQ is working. If the line is flat then there is no EQ happening.

#

If there are red zones that means your EQ is clipping and you need to reduce your pre-gain. But the EQ file should have that automatically.

#

I haven't watched the video but Elon has recently sued a bunch of companies who pulled their ads from twatter (which Elon wants to be known as X, as we all know)

#

alleging conspiracy

#

which is a great way to get people to advertise on your platform

reef patrol
#

👆

sudden imp
#

Even if they all conspired it can’t be a sueable offense

astral haven
#

well it is in some countries, fortunately not the us

#

although it succeeded as a slapp suit...

reef patrol
#

Cause what Musk is alleging is (in the legal sense) is collusion to conspire in a COMPETITIVE sense. None of the companies involved compete with Twitter, nor are they in the same industries (which still wouldn't matter if they were in this case)

astral haven
#

yea thats what the law would allow suing for in the us
however banning collusion of customers to drive a business out of business is something i can see a country putting on the books for some stupid reason

Musk clearly didn’t understand the long game. He thought he could do without and now he can’t.

#

There’s clearly also political reasons but this is no place to discuss those.

#

I would bank on the political reasons being the main drive behind this suit seeking to bring back advertisers.

astral haven
smoky frigate
#

voluntary tools to help advertisers inadvertently supporting harmful and illegal content? did they realize "wait a minute maybe we should check what ads we're running"? no we're not gonna look at them ofc, we use the swastika detector 3000

astral haven
#

its not the ads themselves that were the problem, its what the ads were surrounded by

smoky frigate
#

yeah well that's their job

ashen spindle
#

the issue is musk doesnt realize jack's twitter already was very much pro free speech and free speach simply doesnt mean unfiltered anything because then this happens

are people misunderstanding free speech again?

ashen spindle
#

no just elon

sudden imp
#

To be fair to Elon he barely grasps the idea of ‘speech’

smoky frigate
#

free speech means everyone gets to say what they want, as long as you agree with them right

fair gull
#

no it means you can say what you want without legal stuff waiting for you (at least on online platforms privately owned). the platform still has the right to remove any user they choose and please for any reason

True

But it also means Elon is talking shit

halcyon moss
#

No, no it's not

fair gull

this case its not

#

it is just impossible

sudden imp
#

Well then elon probably fired the dude

fair gull
#

Compression is essential: N1 implant generates ~200Mbps of eletrode data (1024 electrodes @ 20kHz, 10b resolution) and can transmit ~1Mbps wirelessly.
So > 200x compression is needed.
Compression must run in real time (< 1ms) at low power (< 10mW, including radio).
astral haven
#

it was elon who requested it

sudden imp
#

I meant he probably fired the person who told him it was impossible

fair gull
#

he cant fire the public

#

the only people telling him its impossible is non employees

astral haven
#

cant fire claude shannon? i think was who proved the math for information theory?

#

or would it be nyquist?

fair gull
#

i think some more knowledgable people even said the data from the probes seems to be very very distorted or invalid

astral haven
#

In information theory, the Shannon–Hartley theorem tells the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted over a communications channel of a specified bandwidth in the presence of noise. It is an application of the noisy-channel coding theorem to the archetypal case of a continuous-time analog communications channel subject to Gaussian n...

you had a good run 1070

fair gull

which game even is that

balmy vector
#

Ff16

astral haven
#

is the 1070 really as fast as a rx5700?

gusty kiln
#

is FF16 nvidsia bias?

#

cuz the 5700 is like 20% faster

ashen spindle
#

its very much cpu limited it seems at least in the demo areas

fair gull
#

i can imagine that ff16 just runs better on nvidio cards

ashen spindle
#

I dont think so since its a modigied build of the 14 engine where it's not the case really

astral haven
#

also could be that the 5700 is the first card they had on hand faster than a 580, and the 580 probably cant handle it

#

yep probably didnt have any vega (or didnt care because vega)

smoky frigate
#

hmmm

#

scores 12.5% lower in dx12 which is the important test

ashen spindle
#

funniest part of the recommendations though is how arc is in the minimum specs but not in recommended keke

unkempt lake

16.9 only

balmy vector
#

lmao wtf

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

the demo doesnt but I was sure they talked about that so might still come in full release

unkempt lake
#

Yep i'm stick playing with 2 big black bars

balmy vector
#

better hope full release does have it then

#

theres still time

unkempt lake
#

I have no clue if it still renders at the full res or not

smoky frigate
unkempt lake
#

But... if it's running at 1440p this performance is kinda meh

ashen spindle
#

ok yeah I checked they said it will have UW support so the demo just doesnt have it yet

so it probably renders it and just doesnt show it yet

astral haven

ashen spindle
#

do you have hdr

unkempt lake
#

Ya

ashen spindle
#

ok try this, enable hdr, start game, set it to fullscreen, use hdr and your full resolution

#

then close the game, disable hdr in windows and start it

#

that made it full width for me but I didnt check if its stretched or not

#

you can probably see that easier on 32:9

unkempt lake
#

Trying rn

#

Still got black bars

#

Full width in the menu tho oddly enough

#

But i got in the game and now its back to 16:9

ashen spindle
#

did you start new game or continue a safe file?

unkempt lake
#

Just hit resume

ashen spindle
#

hmmm

unkempt lake
#

Settings havent chainged

ashen spindle
#

because that way it somehow set it to windowed but didnt make it an actual window for me

#

so idk what went on there

unkempt lake
#

If you're curious i get like between 90 to 115 fps

#

At ultra

#

Fsr i used native aa

#

Yep its running at 2560x1440 not 5120x1440

ashen spindle
#

idk didnt really look at fps outside of combat because I know the rest of the game isn't like the very start

unkempt lake
#

Fps is the same

#

When making it 2560x1440 windowed

ashen spindle
#

well we had people say fps was lower for them when chaning to a resolution that has black bars

unkempt lake
#

Fps is the literal same for me

ashen spindle
#

but could also be some settings dont save correctly in regards to upscaling/frame gen like it did in cyberpunk

#

but man they just had fun adding weird shit in peoples offtime lmao

balmy vector
astral haven
#

its a heck of a lot easier to add features than it is to fix bugs

#

and its way more fun

unkempt lake
#

ignore the frametime and shit i was just swapping resolutions

smoky frigate
#

is this starcraft

unkempt lake
#

but yeah overall i'd call the fps the same

#

so its def rendering at 1440p 16:9 and not 32:9 res wise

# tired cedar Would the 14900k have less instability issues if you had a pretty high wattage P...

The 14900K instability issue is due to the core ring bus (The circuits that allow all the cores to talk to eachother) getting overvolted, killing it slowly.

A higher wattage PSU wouldn't change much, unless your specific instability is from your PSU being unable to supply enough power during extended spikes in power usage, Usually you can tell by calculating your theoretical maximum power usage VS your PSU's rated power (You might need to look at individual power rails like the 12V to double check)

Also I think they go with that size for people who are 3 inches away from their screens

reef patrol
#

At only 27" you'd need to touch your nose to the monitor to see anything.

sudden imp
#

For the price point I do agree the display size should be larger

astral haven
#

but its only 1440p...

reef patrol
#

If I need to upscale UI elements to read text, you're doing something wrong.

1440P is fine for 34"

astral haven
#

34 ultrawide is the same density as 27 wide

frozen ingot
#

big screen is nice and immersive

reef patrol
astral haven
#

34 is an ultrawide standard

reef patrol

In fact I already pointed this out once. So scroll up laddo.

#

27" is too small. End of Rine

so go 32, that is the next size up for current gen screens

fair gull
#

the recommend distance is 50-100cm anyway

#

or like 30-40inch or smth in murican units

astral haven
frozen ingot
#

I sit 50-60cm from mine, sure its not ultra crisp as a 4K would be but its more than acceptable to me

fair gull
#

i guess im elderly then

#

i cant tell individual pixels for shit

astral haven
#

120 ppd is 90th percentile, and thats 1.2 meters

fair gull
#

and i already have glasses fixing my vision to perfect

astral haven
fair gull
#

but i have anti aliasing off in games

#

for sharp edges

astral haven
#

this is for high contrast edges like text

fair gull
#

ok

#

i still cant tell then

#

im currently staring at this discord chat

astral haven
#

the easy way to tell if you can tell is turning off text AA in windows

fair gull
#

im on macos rn

astral haven
astral haven
# fair gull im on macos rn

macos uses 4:1 SS for basically the entire desktop (unless its an apple "retina" display) and then applies a blur on top of that, and theres no practical way to be rid of it

#

if you want to know if you can see the difference, you need to test A:B on windows, im not aware of any way to test it on macos

fair gull
#

so i turned the smooth thing off

#

and ngl

#

it still looks fine

#

just thinner

astral haven
#

windows?

fair gull
#

i just switched yes

astral haven
#

and you are at .8m on a 32 inch 4k? if so you might need your prescription updated

fair gull
#

rouchly a meter

#

on a 5120x1440p whatever inch it is

#

g9

#

i just checked and if i go to like 25-30cm close i can start seeing pixels

astral haven
#

oh wait no i mistyped one sec

fair gull
#

and if i take my glasses off its just 1 big blur

astral haven
frozen ingot
#

if I look from like 20-30cm I can sorta make out that there's a little pixelation, but at that distance its not very practical to use anyways

astral haven
#

again its not "identifying an individual pixel"
its "identifying between antialiasing or not"

fair gull
#

time to tell my doctor i failed the windows eye exam

#

or well optician

smoky frigate
#

he will confiscate your eyes

astral haven
#

having below average vision is pretty normal, especially if you have glasses
the target for corrected vision is 20/20, which is not average (unless you include elderly)

frozen ingot
#

my vision isn't as sharp as it could be using glasses but its good enough to not need them so far

astral haven
#

the driving limit in the us is iding characters at 30ppd, and thats really the only bar that is a problem for some folks

smoky frigate
#

I have a friend with worse vision than me (a glasses wearer) and he just refuses to get glasses or contacts. I don't know how he does it, I feel like I'm looking at stuff through murky water without glasses

#

admittedly you don't get as easily distracted like this and have an easier time looking people into the eyes lol

frozen ingot
#

tried out a couple lenses when I did eye exam for drivers licence and man some of them made things a whole lot sharper dogekek but ultimately not required to pass

astral haven
astral haven
#

thing is all computers compensate for their low resolutions in various ways, to trick folks into being ok with mediocrity (for apple, its accepting blurry text, for windows its poor performance outside of specific ratios)

fair gull
#

so turns out my new aystem doesnt like my scarlet solo

astral haven
#

scarlett and working drivers are mutually exclusive, their self contained systems work great

frozen ingot
#

shouldn't it be class compliant

fair gull
#

i mean it works flawless on my mac and worked flawless for quite some time on my old intel pc

#

only on my new system does the audio stop randomly

#

no driver crash or such

astral haven
fair gull
#

have to reboot the interface for it to work

astral haven
frozen ingot
#

that's true, it usually won't give you all features a proper driver/software would

#

should be able to handle basic 2in/2out tho in most cases I've seen

astral haven
#

my favorite feature is how the 2 channel device reports itself as a stereo exclusively and doesnt have a mono option

#

my discord peeps always love when they only hear me out of their left ears

frozen ingot
#

what do you mean you're not using a stereo field mic for voicecom

smoky frigate
#

you really want to irritate your teammates by going from one of their ears to the other

astral haven
#

fortunately csgo i think was mono?

fair gull
#

great

#

now it just immediately stops outputting audio

astral haven
#

if windows, do try without (focusrite) drivers, and use APO to fix the channel routing

its just odd it worked fine for years before

and just stopped working now on the amd system

soo many bad drivers and issues in windows with several brands

only non-cc interface I've had that's worked flawlessly is the one am still using since like 2009

#

rme usb drivers are godtier

astral haven
#

i decided to standardize on external digital
spdif with cc usb to spdif adapters, hdmi to spdif adapters, spdif dac/adc and a spdif mixer all outputting to a spdif dac

frozen ingot

had this rme fireface uc for over a decade, still among the top interfaces you can get

rip firewire, thats what that was right?

#

oh nvm its usb

frozen ingot

nah this ones usb, one of the earliest they made to use it iirc

fair gull
#

where to get these apo drivers

astral haven
#

apo is generic windows

frozen ingot
#

still kinda amazed they can do like 50 channels of low latency audio over usb 2.0

astral haven
#

t1 is 1.5mbps, and we managed to stuff 24 channels over that 😛

#

~7k channels at usb2 speeds?

astral haven
fair gull
#

stereo works fine atm

#

with windows default drivers

balmy vector
#

What if i want 1000 channels

astral haven
frozen ingot
frozen ingot
#

most impressive part is rme did this in like 2006 when the majority of interfaces barely worked on windows to begin with

fair gull
#

and the windows default drivers do the same

astral haven
#

ripperino, welcome to windows fun

fair gull
#

literally worked fine before...

#

fucking amd

frozen ingot
#

I also switched to an amd system recently, no sound issues here tho

#

got some stutter issues in snowrunner tho, not sure why

fair gull
#

well its the only change really. its the same os install just on amd chipset now

#

so either the chipset/bios has an issue or the drivers do

astral haven
#

did you install the chipset drivers from amd? (not mobo vendor)

frozen ingot
#

I reinstalled windows and everything from scratch after moving the os drive from my old machine to avoid any driver/software issues with the new hardware

astral haven
#

my windows install is 3 near complete system swaps old, just running windows update each time + fixing driver errors, and i blame all the errors on amd 😛
to be fair none of the previous 3 intel systems had any errors

astral haven
#

hmm
well you can try cpu vs chipset usb ports (should be somewhere in your manual)

I will say though, if you do land on a k371/61 those I personally do not like
they don't have great build quality and they are somewhat uncomfortable, they also rely heavily on seal
so if you have a small head or wear glasses or have long hair, maybe a combo of all 3 they won't have any bass

closed backs themselves are picky, some are pickier than others when it comes to seal

that will depend on a variety of things, theres never going to be a simple rule, but for a pure performance (ignoring looks) pc build, use 1/3 to 1/2 of your budget on the fastest gpu in that price range, then the fastest cpu+ram+mobo combo for 1/3, and rest is spent on case and psu and storage

Pretty sure Ironwolfs are also CMR only

also anything above 24TB is currently smr, but that wont last long

final flame

default cursors suck

since they don't scale the stroke

iron wave

You're unlikely to really notice, I'd rather have each cursor have its own slightly different appearance than have them all look identical. That way each resolution could be tweaked to look the best.

They confirmed it was coming and seems like it’s just not making it in the demo and might come in a later patch for the full game, which still sucks but it’s not like they don’t support it or anything

Should the wooting 60 show as usb 2.0 or 3.0 device?

2 I believe. Basically uses 1.1 with 2 power standards

Throw in DLSS/FSR to keep up with framerate and forced TAA and we have a whole bouquet duck_sip

Yeah ye know.. At least based on YT footage, NFS HP unironically looks better than FF 16.

#

Not in every way obviously. But tonemapping and probably some geometry is definitely ahead.

Good choice.
Game runs like ass but it definitely holds up visually.

Idk what YouTube videos you saw maybe people recorded hdr and put it onto sdr idk the game looks great

I also want to point out how the guy is playing on a GTX 1060 at 4K with only half of his GPU being used dogekek

Someone is selling a 7700K + Z270 Apex + RAM for 200 EUR. I am kinda tempted to buy it and test my delidding skills.

I have a plan to build the ultimate PC in late 2026. And I do want to delid my CPU when that time comes. But I have never done that before and I am not sure if I should test my luck immediately on whatever I decide to go with at that time.

late grove
#

But yes I probably won't get that kit. Gonna find some dirt cheap garbage for a first time attempt.

#

Finding a delid kit for those ancient CPUs will be a bigger challenge however..

mental nymph
#

Just for the sake of it?

balmy vector
#

Practice i assume

late grove
#

Yes.

#

Delid in my main system will be for cooling obviously.

#

With the way things are going on the CPU side, delidding becomes more and more valuable.

Of course.

I have seen optimum delidding 7700k with a knife. That's... funny

And Tony Stark can do it in a cave with fucking rocks doesn't mean that a way to do it

late grove

Yeah except one really happened and the other one is made up.

You 100% can delete a CPU in a cave with rocks

Just with how cheap delid tools are now I don't know why you wouldn't use one

You said “delete” lol

I bet a butter knife and steady hands could get it

is there a way to have a button stop a youtube video that is playing in the background? my old keyboard had a shortcut for it

And just use the pause media key

#

Or stop

i got my wooting two he like a hour ago

Plus just Google whatever your browser is plus background media controls

What if the motherboard had the gpu. And the c p u was on a card.

I've had servers like that

#

Cpus and ram on cards and ipmi with graphics built into mobo

pastel nacelle
#

At this point they might as well place the gpu on the motherboard.

#

The central processing unit no longer serves its intended purpose.

astral haven
#

well it does

#

while the storage is now sometimes going on the gpu, the data still travels through the cpu to reach the gpu

Hey,

Hoping to get some advice on an alternative to the Samsung Galaxy B2P, I've got nothing against the B2P but due to them being wireless, they are unable to last long enough to make it through a day at the office / gaming (they don't support a wired function... obviously lol!!).

I've had a quick google but nothing seems to come up as a wired alternative that still offers features such as ANC (I'm guessing this is because a power source is required for this type of feature?).

Are there any IEM alternatives which would fit my needs and are good for gaming (they must have ANC or similar to drown out background noise / aircon unit etc etc).

TIA
