[rough osprey]

thats quite unfortunate

[analog sinew]

but I guess

I'm also using them the wrong way if I do this

yeah

this might not work

[reef patrol]

Good of Noctua to include a flared base.

[analog sinew]

go to horny jail

mmh yeah this wont work

my best bet is using the others and clipping them

that will be a mess but with a razor it could work

question is if it still holds then

idk if this will fit man

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/P0pHSz4wyaw

[cursive summit]

Yeah but Mac in general is a scam

[analog sinew]

Wait I'm dumb and the guy I asked is too

noctua has open flange fans!

[wheat plume]

TLDW
Base model 600 Dollars: Yes
Upgrade ANY of the RAM or storage: NO

[analog sinew]

this will work

my master plan comes to fruition

i will be the anti vibration mounter

[cursive summit]

What is even "Upgrade ANY of the RAM or storage"

[reef patrol]

256GB Storage

[analog sinew]

hey in 2012 that was good

[reef patrol]

Their iPhones have more storage than desktop PCs at this point 😄

[cursive summit]

Oh Apple products finally come with 16GBs standard?

Holy moly Apple caught up to 2015

[rough osprey]

ask the twitter guy to upgrade your storage for cheaper

[analog sinew]

that's 32 on windows!

[gloomy linden]

my guess is fast enough 8gb got too expensive because no one else gets those

[cursive summit]

You can literally get 48GBs of fastest type of DDR5 for the price it costs Apple to add 8 extra gigs to your mac mini

And that's not a fucking joke

[rough osprey]

apple is just very bad at making good deals with suppliers

they keep getting scammed

[thick elk]

Storage especially, even a budget build 500gb is the bare minimum, probably end up with 1tb at least.

[cursive summit]

Apple is scamming you lol, there's no other way around it

[rough osprey]

nuh uh

[halcyon moss]

it is real fast mem and storage

but most ppl dont really care about that

[rough osprey]

i trust my bro tim apple

[thick elk]

Basically, 16gb ram I see as fine for the price even.

but storage is just so little.

[frozen ingot]

the guy at the genius bar said 8gb apple ram is as good as the 16gb windows ram

[rough osprey]

its great device for the price till you need more

[gloomy linden]

shared ram which makes it slightly "worse"

[cursive summit]

I like how a double stick of 48GB of Z5 Trident at CL38 7600 MHz costs 270$, or essentially 30$ cheaper to what it costs for you to upgrade from 16GB Mac Mini to 24GB Mac Mini

[thick elk]

Sure but when you got okayish 500GB ssd's for € 35ish

[halcyon moss]

my minimums would be 16gb mem, 1tb storage

[thick elk]

For sure, problem for apple is it would be fine for a decent chunk of the userbase

[rough osprey]

how good is external storage implemented in macos

[thick elk]

Still for the price the cheapest version is okay, just requires external storage.

I don't know how good it is, but I sure hope it's better than android at least.

[rough osprey]

these things would be kinda crazy if they had cheap ram and storage

[thick elk]

Having expensive storage really does not make sense if you are making due with a meagre 250gb though.

Either way, everyone knows it's pure product segmentation, far removed from production costs.

[mossy prawn]

You all run Linux?

[halcyon moss]

not all

but we are quite vocal :p

[rough osprey]

the loud minority

😄

[mossy prawn]

I wish you could run all games so easily on Linux like you can in windows

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah, at this point a lot of games work, some work after some wrangling

And some are just incredibly hostile with their invasive anticheats

[mossy prawn]

Yes I know but still need to 'work' for it and don't even try to play competitive mp games

[crimson wigeon]

And some use obscure or very new APIs, or expect very specific, possibly undocumented, behavior

[mossy prawn]

Also I like macOS

[halcyon moss]

osx didnt work for me, i found it quite annoying to use

[mossy prawn]

Which distro do you use?

[halcyon moss]

popos

[cursive summit]

Some cool stuff is happening https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_rog_phone_9_pro-review-2765p4.php

This phone technically runs the exact same chipset as the mobile Windows qualcomm chips

So.. technically Windows compatible and can run Windows apps I suppose?

[empty wren]

Good luck with that when they have no bootloader unlocking tool

[cursive summit]

It's a technicality which is cool, doesn't mean it can actually do it lol

Performance seems really good, phones keep getting these big uplifts in performance almost every other year

Now x86 in comparison leaves much more to be desired I guess

[empty wren]

Even from AMD?

[lethal viper]

Anyone know any good mousepad companies?

[cursive summit]

Are we forgetting Zen 5 launch

That was just few months back

Okay.. what https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/24/asus-rog-phone-9-pro/sshots/-1080/gsmarena_112.jpg https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/24/asus-rog-phone-9-pro/sshots/-1080/gsmarena_113.jpg

They allow you to basically enter factory tweak mode and just directly mess with cores?

That will have to come with some major ToS before you are allowed to access that screen

[empty wren]

Probably, good on them for including that though

Wonder if they fixed excessive battery drain when scrolling though

[cursive summit]

If there is going to be a Snapdragon 8 Elite phone with an unlocked bootloader.. isn't that going to be technically the world's smallest functional Windows device of all time?

Screen and SoC in a 7" thin and light package that fits into your pocket and runs full fledged Windows, that's kinda awesome

(prolly also performs better than Steam Deck)

[empty wren]

I guess but it also means it will not put out of date after two years too

[wheat plume]

Probably won't be able to run windows 11 because of tpm 2 requirements
But if you are the type of person to try installing Windows on a phone then you know for to bypass that already xd

[ashen spindle]

it would just use ARMs trustzone or whatever its called for that

[wheat plume]

Oh IDK what those are

[ashen spindle]

the tpm equivalent

more or less

[wheat plume]

Aha

TPM? Security? Encryption?

Hey! Anyone know good airflow performance?

I have an extra fan should I green make it an exhaust or blue make it intake?

To add more context currently have two intake and one exhaust

[rough osprey]

this is the top of the case or?

[broken moat]

Yes

[rough osprey]

would put it as exhaust

warm air gonna go up either way so why not help it

instead of fighting against xd

[broken moat]

Alright good to know thanks

[rough osprey]

np

[broken moat]

It’s fine it’s top of the cpu cooler?

[rough osprey]

should be

ig try it out

could even compare the two spots

[broken moat]

Oh alright

[calm silo]

I jsut bought the 80he and it keeps randomly getting stuck on a single key

Until I plug it out and plug it back in

I was playing r6 and while moving left and holding a, it just got stuck holding an and I couldn’t press anything else

[misty sparrow]

Hey guys I'm curious because I'm trying to chose between these two. Can someone tell me if they are the same with one being with Kana and one is without? Are there any different between the two in term of feel or quality?

[bright briar]

i have the white keycaps

and i like them sorry i didnt see the second set being dye set

[ripe zealot]

Why isn’t my 80he responding to my profiles

[misty sparrow]

Thank you! I was looking at both of them in white and I agree the white looks better. You didnt notice any thing different between the two just aside from the Kana right?

[bright briar]

i dont own the kana dye sub

i only have pbt backlit white and black keycaps

but prefer the white more

[misty sparrow]

I see, thanks!

[mild dome]

I gotta point out that convection is rather weak, and doesn't mean much compared to the power of a fan

blowing fresh air with a low RPM fan in front of the cooler means more cool air circulating around the cpu, but as theirs also a risk of just creating lots of turbulent air.

Situating a fan above the cooler could either draw warm air up and out, or it could pull the cool air out of the case before it cools anything.

If you have the time and patience try experimenting with a fan in each slot, and even try testing without that fan.

[broken moat]

Oh okay, as rn of my cpu temp is 79 C max but I haven’t installed the new fan yet

[broken moat]

Also the new fan has a RPM 300-2000

[deft raptor]

Very cool, I don't have m.2 screw to install my new nvme ssd

I know they are metric 2 mm, but the house does not have a kit of m2 screws

Long M3 screw would work but neither is found at home

I am wondering if 60HE uses M2 screws

Hummmm, the Corsar liquid cooler miiiight be using m3 screws

It worked with spare 60HE screws

Would it be possible to flash the wooting software on a different keyboard? Lets say the kinesis advantage 360?

[quaint dew]

the idea with curved monitors is when you're the correct distance away you dont really need to turn to see the edges

because they're all pointing towards you

[magic minnow]

34” yeah but that monitor is ultra ultra wide

[quaint dew]

if it's curved enough and not so wide it doesnt fit in your fov the only issues will be if important info like minimap HUD etc are on the edges due to you still focusing on the middle

but wider is just more immersive

curvature radius depends on how far away you sit

[magic minnow]

Ohhhhhhh

[quaint dew]

1500R = 1500mm radius of a circle with the center of the circle being your head

smaller R means closer to monitor for optimal viewing

[magic minnow]

Mines a 34” with 1800r

[quaint dew]

the most intense curvature ive seen is 800r

[magic minnow]

I thought this was so cool

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/monitors/cm-9030001-na/corsair-xeneon-flex-45wqhd240-45-inch-oled-3440-x1440-240hz-refresh-rate-bendable-gaming-monitor-cm-9030001-na?

I think I broke the link

[quaint dew]

45" 3440x1440 is kinda not great pixel density

well its same as 24" 1080p density but

blown up that big im not sure id like it

flex is a cool idea but not sure how practical it is

[final flame]

all of corsairs monitors are poorly thought out when it comes to pixel density

[old marlin]

all that effort to make it look nice and then you got your io pointing towards yourself

[old marlin]

ngl I am still not sure why you would want that, just buy a monitor with the curvature you want and pay less

[reef patrol]

wat

[quaint dew]

45" 3440x1440 has the same pixel density as 24" 1920x1080

[reef patrol]

Same as 1440p surely, just wider.

[quaint dew]

same density as 32" 1440p

[reef patrol]

Just because you add more pixels on the horizontal, doesn't make the PPI any lower. Cause that is both dimensions.

[quaint dew]

1440p 32" density is the same as 24" 1080p which is the same as 45" 3440x1440

oh maybe not

did my 45" calculation wrong

[reef patrol]

If making a wider panel of the same resolution lowers the "PPI", the entire concept seems pointless to measure. It's not like the pixels get wider. They're still on a square grid.

[quaint dew]

1080p 24" and 1440p 32" have the same density

[quaint dew]

its not the same resolution

[reef patrol]

Same VERTICAL resolution

[quaint dew]

sure

but 45" isnt just wider 34" or 32"

[reef patrol]

A 3440x1440p screen is as tall as a 2560x1440p screen

[quaint dew]

yes

and they have the same pixel density

[reef patrol]

Great. So we agree on that at least 😄

[quaint dew]

i said 32" 1440p is the same as 24" 1080p not 34" 1440p

[reef patrol]

You said that 1440p had the same density as 1080p further up.

[quaint dew]

i said 32" 1440p and 24" 1080 had the same density

[reef patrol]

Oh my brain is starting to work now. You're essentially talking about stretching 1440p so wide that the pixels are the same size, and you're just zooming in.

[quaint dew]

the first message i sent on the subject was talking about 45" 3440x1440

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/clockwork-gears-brain-gif-16784329

I'd still grab the 45" though personally. I don't stare at the pixels like some CS:GO pro player. 😄

[quaint dew]

displayninja chart

[reef patrol]

We're not at a point where 4K is practical across games and apps.

[quaint dew]

i agree

[analog sinew]

but 1440p monitor market is kinda whack

[pale garden]

It's not about staring pixels, they're quite noticeable even from afar; I have a 32 inch 1440p monitor and it really sucks sometimes

[analog sinew]

its all 4k now

[quaint dew]

at a good enough distance 45" 3440x1440 is fine its just that if you try to treat it as not a massive fucking piece of monitor then you see those pixels

[reef patrol]

I couldn't spot individual pixels on my 34" 3440x1440 if I wanted to 😄

[quaint dew]

i wouldn't say so

we have good 1440p as cheap as 150 bucks

OLEDs at 500 now

top end 1440p oled like 1100-1200 usd

[pale garden]

well, my eyes are the type of eyes that know the difference between 144 hz and 165 hz, and I sometimes hate it

[reef patrol]

[quaint dew]

so i was mistaken, 45" 3440x1440 is worse than 32" 2560x1440 and 24" 1920x1080, its the same ppi as 27" 1920x1080

[pale garden]

I instantly detect ghosting in pretty much every single monitor aside from OLEDs

[quaint dew]

treat it as a small TV and youre chilling

[pale garden]

and that's why I want one lmao

it's the only type of panel that barely have any ghosting, because THEY HAVE

[analog sinew]

well i was looking for 1440p monitors recently and it was a bit ass ^^ but maybe the sites werent so good

[quaint dew]

if your country has pcpartpicker i find that to be fairly useful for monitor searching

[analog sinew]

it has but then the rtings or so werent so good

or it was oled or sth else

there is too much choice maybe ^^

i will buy it in a few months and look again then

[quaint dew]

what country?

[analog sinew]

*There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.*

Ai combine Tak and Germany into 1 word

And they still had to manually add in logos in post, and each take is just around a second long, because AI can't generate video any longer than that, that doesn't turn into horror 😄

You think you'd get sticks for edge?

sony controllers would be an A+ if it weren't for their joycon ass sticks

drift in a year on 4 different controllers so far lol

Yeah I'd love to know if this is actually a scalping or production volume issue, because knowing Sony it COULD be the latter.

hey im building my first custom keyboard. I bought a redux tofu case with a carbon fiber plate, with the wooting module along with the lube and accessory kit, I purchased jade switches and somne keycaps off of amazon. am I missing anything?

[analog sinew]

not really no

[minor citrus]

did you get a fancy premium-cost coiled cable?

[willow scaffold]

yk i looked at it and really thought about it, and decided I'd put the money towards my headphone amp instead

maybe the nexT time i visit the site i will

i didn't buy any stabilizers are they neccasery?

[minor citrus]

60he module comes with them, so you could get some, but they're not required

[analog sinew]

not required to swap

keyboard without stabs is miserable :D

[minor citrus]

or "not required to buy extras"

[smoky frigate]

took that EQ preset for a spin but I think it's quite harsh. maybe I'll suss out an EQ to tickle a little bit more detail out of classic mode. but of course I just hope that AutoEQ will have these listed one day, which I kinda doubt but eh.

[magic minnow]

Pretty much, I mean are you planning on gaming outside?

Personally having antiglare or no antiglare wouldnt be a personal bother to me

[bright briar]

i was thinking about it. I know i'll most likely play on my bed or couch if i decided to travel to a friends house or take it on a plane and etc the anti glare would come clutch

i wish the limited edition white steam deck came in different bundles but i'll give dbrand a look

i heard its a hassle to switch cases on a steam deck

unless those dbrand cases snap on to the current frame?

[magic minnow]

You kinda snuggle it into

It’ll be easy to take out once you get the hang of it

[balmy vector]

A youtube video would probably be better to show how that’d fit on a steamdeck

[bright briar]

the green killswitch is CLEAN

[balmy vector]

[bright briar]

[magic minnow]

Make sure you get the Travel Cover as well

[balmy vector]

And a valve index

[polar summit]

Has anyone had experience with the el gato wave 3 and beacn mics? I’ve been waiting for a beacn but see a really good deal on a wave 3

[bright briar]

https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/steam-deck-cases

talking about this right?

[magic minnow]

Yeah

[bright briar]

thx a lot

cant decide between the carnage sticker or cotton candy

warzone aint bad either

[bright briar]

it gives me the whole skin sticker right? Not just the stickers for the thumbstick area

[magic minnow]

You can’t use the entire skin only the thumb stick area

If you’re using the case

[bright briar]

yeah i know that im just curious if it gives me the whole skin or just that area

[magic minnow]

I honestly don’t remember

[bright briar]

anyways thanks for the tip i really appreciate it

Are you gonna keep the mesh side or swap to glass?

I'm just gonna keep the mesh since I went with no RGB this time

Ayoooo, Linux is everyday closer to Windows parity https://www.windowslatest.com/2024/11/20/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-24h2-trashes-game-audio-breaks-date-time-setting/

[wild coyote]

Crazy how I have 24H2

[sturdy raven]

I’m sorry for you 😭

[analog sinew]

common microsoft L

[wild coyote]

fr, ill just downgrade ez

nvm, I'll reinstall

[sturdy raven]

If you’re reinstalling, I would suggest the iot ltsc edition

[fair gull]

here i hoped the usb audio is what im experiencing on 23h2 but i guess it really is just amd being shit

[umbral heron]

Had no issues with it so far
Maybe something about AMD drivers on Windows?

[fair gull]

ive had no issues until i started playing modded MC.... now basically all games can cause the audio to become garbled

no pattern just happens when game audio starts playing

only solution is unplugging my interface and plugging back in

very very rarely happens by just watching yt

[wild coyote]

brodda I am not dealing with the amount of redist reinstallation, cuz I require my xbox apps too yk?

[vapid tree]

On 24h2 I had major issues with my rode ai-1 going into sleep even with all USB power saving functions turned off on top of fucked up audio.

[wild coyote]

That also means I'd need MS store

[vapid tree]

MS store you still have on iot ltsc

[wild coyote]

No you don't

[vapid tree]

Not by default duh

[wild coyote]

You only have the browser

[vapid tree]

You can still install it via powershell and or christ titus script

[wild coyote]

Again, I'm not dealing with reinstallations

[vapid tree]

Then don't complain lol

[sturdy raven]

I’ve installed ms store along with winget on my iot ltsc

[wild coyote]

Are you ok?

I responded that I won't be bothered to deal with IoT LTSC version of windows 11 since I'd rather have everything installed already

Who told you that I was complaining 🤔

[wild coyote]

It's understandable that you'd do that, however I prefer just to reinstall and have MS store and xbox app without dealing with powershell scripts

Besides, putting it in English (World) region is ideally the same as debloating, so I'm gucci

[vapid tree]

They fixed that on the newest 23h2 iso iirc and not really the same at all

It just makes no sense to care enough to do something half assed instead of taking an additional 5mins to get the optimal solution

[reef patrol]

No need to reinstall.

[vapid tree]

^

[reef patrol]

You'll be dealing with PowerShell regardless though if you go to ltsc.

[wild coyote]

I've already tried LTSC, it's more time consuming

Game is game, but I do need to downgrade from 24H2 to 23H2 since it's not ideally good for my main PC. It's a troublemaker for sure

Since I don't have a system restore point, reinstalling is to-go.

[reef patrol]

I spent an hour setting it up. Oh woe.

No reinstall needed going from 10 ltsc

[wild coyote]

It's not a requirement, but I have Razer Kraken TE that uses USB audio. I'd like to avoid the issue

Anything that can lead me to those problems, I'd want to avoid

[reef patrol]

And I have a soundblaster USB soundcard with zero issues.

[wild coyote]

yeah, but razer is razer

[reef patrol]

Indeed.

[wild coyote]

I do want to stay away from Razer, but no moneh. So I'll just deal with this instead

if I can get a new mic, I can probably sell my headsets to a friend of mine since he likes em

I got IEMs, but no mic :)

can someone suggest me a mice for 20 bucks

[vapid tree]

deathadder essential might be your best bet at that price range

[barren sun]

i want a xxxl tho cause my table is kinda big

[vapid tree]

So you mean mousepad?

[barren sun]

yes mousepad

sry not mice

[lofty blaze]

is it worth getting a ryzen 7 7800x3d for 4070 ? i feel like its too expensive for what it offers

[scenic thunder]

a 20$ xxxl mouse would be the funniest ask in this channel in a hot minute.

[sudden imp]

AI is STUPID

[barren sun]

..

[sudden imp]

As a selling feature it’s silly. Most people will just disable it on their phones. Like phones make calls and texts that’s all that’s really needed from it.

[vapid ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJnATSrDEtk mmm, from the review it seems nice

$200

but uses proprietary switches that places the magnet the same way gateron jade low profile but non low profile

[pale sigil]

proprietary is never nice

[cinder trail]

Oh, I changed actuation on windows button to v low :c is that a crappy way to do it

[scenic thunder]

neat idea, it's too bad asus went to shit over the last bit with RMA's.

[quaint dew]

xraypad might offer something

if thats too expensive you wont find any actual good quality pad

so either save up more or just buy cheap muddy as shit deskmat off amazon or aliex

[quaint dew]

depends on use case

[lofty blaze]

Mainly gaming and streaming, in other time programming, graphic design and daily use

[quaint dew]

which games

also any reason for 4070 over a 7700xt/7800xt

[lofty blaze]

I already have a 4070 i preferred it mainly because of nvenc codec

Mainly fps games, Valorant apex cs2 etc

[quaint dew]

what cpu are you on rn?

[lofty blaze]

İ5 12400f

[quaint dew]

do you have ddr4 or ddr5 rn

[lofty blaze]

Ddr4

[quaint dew]

i'd hold out

wait for am6

or whatever ryzen 11000 is

full platform upgrade from 12400f>7800x3d is imo not worth it

too expensive

[lofty blaze]

9800x3d is on the way but its also am5

[ashen spindle]

Wait you have a 9800x3d coming?

Then don’t buy anything till that arrives?

[lofty blaze]

No

I mean it will be in local stores soon

[ashen spindle]

Well either wait for that or upgrade to like a 14700k on your board, anything inbetween won’t make sense

[ashen spindle]

90% chance it’s still AM5

[unkempt lake]

?

You got that samsung drive?

[sturdy raven]

The actuation point is too low, at 0.3mm vibration on your desk will actuate the key

[cursive summit]

Deckard news

Controllers obv just for reference, control layout though seems to be legit

Seems similar to Index controllers

[leaden kiln]

where the fuck are my touchpads

[cursive summit]

There are none

Why'd you need touchpads on a VR device anyways

[leaden kiln]

tragic

[cursive summit]

Deckard's basically an AIO VR thing

This isn't the Steam Deck

[leaden kiln]

I love using mine to scroll
can also use them as a button or multiple
idk I've liked the touchpads

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but this is the Steam Deckard

[cursive summit]

On the Deck?

[leaden kiln]

on index controllers

they're nice on the steam deck though
I thought we were talking vr

[cursive summit]

I don't remember Valve Index having touchpads

[leaden kiln]

bruh

[cursive summit]

It had weird haptics but.. not touchpads right?

[crimson wigeon]

It's an often forgotten thing since the competition doesn't have those

[old marlin]

the knuckles do have touchpads

[crimson wigeon]

Deckard & Knuckles when

[cursive summit]

Hah yeah I went to google the thing just to figure out where the touchpad was

[old marlin]

I mean I'd assume that the deckard is inside out tracking

[cursive summit]

I imagine with the whole eye tracking thing, you'll be able to just do eye-scrolling

[old marlin]

so you would somehow need to connect your lighthouses to the deckard

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah just duct tape them to deckard

[old marlin]

eye-interfaces kinda suck

[old marlin]

that is not how lighthouses track

[cursive summit]

Yeah but it's Valve, it's magic innit

[crimson wigeon]

I know but let me meme

[leaden kiln]

index is also inside out 🥱
maybe it will be slam

[old marlin]

the knuckles ain't tho

[leaden kiln]

steamvr in general is
just that it's using sensors and lighthouses instead of camera tracking

[cursive summit]

Although I'm seeing conflicting reports, peeps are saying that Deckard is just Index 2.0 and they ditched the whole dedicated processing module

Wasn't Deckard like a weird Quest-like which would just run all the processing itself

[old marlin]

• it still needs basestations

[cursive summit]

When did they ditch the processing module and it's now just goggles?

Why'd they do that anyways

[old marlin]

presumably but no way of knowing

[crimson wigeon]

Hey they're gearing up for mass production supposedly so we'll know real soon, right.. RIGHT?

[old marlin]

btw vive controllers did have the circular trackpad

but I think outside of trackers the entire vive enviroment is super dead?

[leaden kiln]

ywah it's just a common misconception that index is outside in, the lighthouses aren't the sensors like it is in old oculus headsets

[cursive summit]

I thought that Index was always incapable of running on its own and needed the lighthouses drilled into the corners of the room

Tbf the tracking is prolly great since you have those

[old marlin]

it does need the lighthouses

it is still inside out tho

[cursive summit]

Though I kinda see VR pivot nowadays more into AR experiences, peeps like the whole AR thing more than VR, so if Valve for some reason ditch the integrated processing unit, it kinda kills most of the usefulness of Deckard

[old marlin]

they basically act like fancy tracking markers

[old marlin]

AR still has not moved anywhere quite yet

[leaden kiln]

It can be finicky but it's usually good
anything reflective can be an issue, but that's also somewhat true for slam tracking

[cursive summit]

Though with how good Quest 3 is, I wonder even if Valve release Deckard and it's good, why'd anyone bother

It'll cost a shitload, and be likely not that much better than Quest 3

[leaden kiln]

I know someone looked at their room with ir passthrough after having issues with tracking
and the paint in their whole room was reflecting ir

[cursive summit]

Judging from how many years it's been since Deckard rumours started, I bet even Valve are somewhat unsure what they want to do with it

[leaden kiln]

All the expectations 💀

[ashen spindle]

lol no the quest 3 is far away from what a good display could do lol

[old marlin]

the quest 3 is good but it is not a replacement for a good computer screen

[ashen spindle]

if the index wouldnt have some blooming around bright scenes or similar I'd still use that over the Q3

[cursive summit]

I think the biggest issue with Deckard is that Valve thought they could prolly make a great new VR device while Alyx holds hype for VR

I dunno if Valve anticipated how quickly any hype for VR would die lol

[old marlin]

wdym

[cursive summit]

Nobody nowadays talks about it anymore

[old marlin]

VR has been around for quite a while now

even in it's current form

[ashen spindle]

you're just randomly guessing what valve supposedly expected

[cursive summit]

Speculation's the name of the game

[old marlin]

no way to know what they release until you got solid evidence on what it is gonna be

[cursive summit]

There's very little interest nowadays in VR though

"Biggest" VR titles clock maybe a hundred or so users a day

[ashen spindle]

because that stopped valve from releasing the deck when nobody cared about handheld pcs

[cursive summit]

That's a whole another thing though

[ashen spindle]

its hardware thats closer to being sold at a loss whereas expensive vr hardware isnt sold at a loss

[unkempt lake]

I'd get myself one if it was cheap

Not enough games to make me buy a vr headset

Half life alyx metro awakening that's about it

[marsh pewter]

there’s actually tons releasing these days

ok maybe not tons, but there is actually a good amount

[unkempt lake]

Why would i play a racing game in VR when i have a 49 inch curved monitor

[unkempt lake]

Nothing that catches my eye

Tbh

[marsh pewter]

fair enough

[willow scaffold]

How long does wooting normally take to ship

[leaden kiln]

💀

immersion, idk man
what's the point of vr at all then

[unkempt lake]

But a 49 inch monitor IS immersion already

[ashen spindle]

beat saber, pistol whip, budget cuts, boneworks, superhot, vrchat/rec room etc.

[marsh pewter]

if it’s in stock, usually around a week or two

[unkempt lake]

Beatsaber and superhot are cool

[cursive summit]

Only good VR game is H3

[leaden kiln]

to some extent I guess
definitely not the same

[marsh pewter]

not to mention all of the smaller games out there these days

[willow scaffold]

Alright thanks, i just ordered a pcb

[unkempt lake]

Vr chat the hell you want me to do talk with furries?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah I want to try vrchat just to see what the heck the hype is all about

[cursive summit]

... yes

[ashen spindle]

I mean you could also find the 20% that arent in there

[leaden kiln]

it's fun and chill sometimes

[marsh pewter]

I never understood it

[unkempt lake]

gasp

[ashen spindle]

and yeah smaller ones pop up all the time, like Raw Data is a random vr game from 2017 thats a fun robot shootup indie

[marsh pewter]

whenever I play it the lobbies are just filled with small children that should absolutely not be playing VRChat

it can be fun with just friends tho

[leaden kiln]

I mostly play vrc and beat saber, also a bit of skyrimvr and I own hla
Know a lot of people like blade and sorcery

[cursive summit]

I like how the biggest VR game currently is some configuration software, all the others are "VR enabled" so you can't even check what's an actual VR game

Again I do not see the market for VR games existing

[unkempt lake]

or furries

[marsh pewter]

lots of those too

[leaden kiln]

what about meta store, stuff other than pcvr
which I believe is a lot bigger

space pirate trainer is a pretty fun game too

[unkempt lake]

I'd pay like

250-300cad at most

For a vr headset

not more

[leaden kiln]

I thought so too
I bought an og vive for 100 bucks
Then I got an index for like 600
Then I got a beyond for 1500

[unkempt lake]

Because i know it's gonna sit in my closet after a few weeks

I tried vr it's cool i just can't justify the cost

[smoky frigate]

I might get one soon for free from a sibling, no idea what to do with it

freed up a nice big room just in case

[unkempt lake]

Tasty sibling sweat

Yummy

[marsh pewter]

tbf if you’re the type of person who plays vr once a month or every few months, you aren’t the target demographic for premium vr headsets

[leaden kiln]

get shitfaced in vrc ☠️

[smoky frigate]

our sweats are compatible

I guess HL Alyx is the one obvious thing, but beyond that it's like... the wii

[leaden kiln]

probably better fov than mine

[unkempt lake]

why are you talking about me

Stupid robots stealing my name... smh

i can stab you

it's even better trust me

Would you rather i bite off your jugular with my teeth and let you bleed out

https://tenor.com/view/fox-cutie-playful-bite-gif-15688292

you'd die in the process tho

But hey one less member of the takmind

Means the moumoumind can take over

[analog sinew]

we can exist in harmony

[marsh pewter]

your crimes against the takmind will not go unpunished

you shall see the consequences of your actions soon enough

[sudden imp]

I feel like this will only incite more attacks upon LGBT People

Very short sighted

[gusty nexus]

I hope not ;-;

[sudden imp]

I hope not aswell

[unkempt lake]

I don't understand how people have not understood that the more you give attention to morons the more it empowers them because well... it makes people talk about them

[frozen ingot]

not like we ain't used to it

[unkempt lake]

Giving attention to morons just gives them a platform and makes them seem like they have more influence than they do

[frozen ingot]

its still kinda funny though

[unkempt lake]

not as funny as the time people were saying andrew tate didn't have a big enough bulge

that was funnier imo

[frozen ingot]

probably truer as well

[marsh pewter]

andrew taint

[unkempt lake]

Fucking found it

people be like

intense stare at crotch
yes super alpha man not gay moment

[ashen spindle]

maam this is a wendys tech channel

[unkempt lake]

well they started talking about andrew tate and i was trying to find this meme

fine we'll talk about tech

[frozen ingot]

they're just looking a bit extra just to make sure okay

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/cHQ3jAeza60?si=42eGftwjyzEf0HVi @ashen spindle have you seen the DF analysis of stalker

old cpus getting crushed

[ashen spindle]

no surprise there

[unkempt lake]

Poor 3600

And even a 7800x3d in towns gets really pinned to the max

[distant tapir]

What's the native resolution here again? Like 720p?

2160p ultra perf = native 720p?

[unkempt lake]

1080p

I believe

[distant tapir]

Wouldn't that be performance?

[unkempt lake]

Uhhh

[distant tapir]

Performance is 50% I think.

Ultra perf is lower.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/oymxyp/dlss_20_render_resolutions_one_post_to_rule_them/

[unkempt lake]

Yeah its 720p

Lol

[distant tapir]

18 fps at 720p.

[reef patrol]

It's still Epic settings.

And that can matter a LOT more than resolution

[unkempt lake]

But it's cpu bound

[reef patrol]

Okay - Now reduce the setting and see how much the CPU holds back final FPS now 😄

[distant tapir]

Now I want to see native 4k benchmarks.

[unkempt lake]

Posted them yesterday

[distant tapir]

Is the framerate stable?

[unkempt lake]

On my 7800x3d + 7900xtx at 5120x1440 fsr quality yes

I get around 70fps

On epic settings

I havent had any big drops or stuttering

Only time i noticed a drop was welp, the town cuz my gpu usage drops a little but i'm still above or at 60 so

[unkempt lake]

Go at 16:06 it's clearly tied to NPC count

[reef patrol]

👍

[halcyon moss]

cool. i can expect 6.4 fps

[ashen spindle]

thats at 4k

[halcyon moss]

and epic

[ashen spindle]

so you can except 20 xD

[unkempt lake]

Still clearly cpu limited

[halcyon moss]

which isnt realisitc im aware :p

[unkempt lake]

All the npcs crammed in an indoor environment, with limited view distance and the more npcs enter the room the more the framerate drops

Also i can confirm from playing the game myself the gpu load does drop in towns even with a 7800x3d

So yeah the cpu is your limit in high npc density areas

[frozen ingot]

the ai system apparently doesn't work as intended yet

[halcyon moss]

according to some youtube vid. its quite playable on a 5700xt

[bright briar]

anyone here own aw2725df?

[cedar fog]

There's already some stalker 2 mods to improve performance xD

[analog sinew]

they were made within 6 hours ye

[unkempt lake]

unreal engine 5 placebo mods

my fsvorites

[deft raptor]

Very nice, firmware and config tools works with wine for my new mouse Endgame Gear Op1 reusing the udev file for 60HE

[analog sinew]

i find it funny that on this render the letters are raised

the msrp has already hit :/

shoulda preordered it sooner

[cursive summit]

Playing at those qualities and that resolution with a 3060 is just a bonkers moment

My laptop GPU is prolly weaker than a 3060 and it can run Stalker 2 at 1440p 60FPS with decent settings

[cedar fog]

I think they're simply ini edits for direct x parameters n other stuff

[balmy vector]

@magic minnow its here

[reef patrol]

[balmy vector]

Mine is the fabulous beast collab one, very pretty

i really like it, first hole mouse i had and have been using for more than 4 months now

thank you thank you

[bright briar]

what monitor is that?

[balmy vector]

the bottom? my 27gr95qe-b aka oled

[bright briar]

OH i didnt even see there was two and yeah i was talking about the bottom

right now im testing the aw2725df and super annoying i cant mess with the brightness on the monitor menu unless i have hdr turned off on my pc

out of the box the colours are amazing but i dont want eye strain lol

[deft raptor]

Funny, I have HDR active and still can adjust brightness on arch linux in KDE Plasma

[bright briar]

i tested the samsung g6osd and i could adjust it as well

just weird alienware doesnt let you

[deft raptor]

My aw2725df let me adjust brightness in hdr mode

[bright briar]

but i also felt the g6 with the recommended hdr settings everything was warm and saturated which i didnt prefer

[bright briar]

you download the alienware command center?

[magic minnow]

Gorgeous

[deft raptor]

Never used it, I am on arch linux. Windows apps is awkward to launch and use

[bright briar]

oh, im on windows

[deft raptor]

Because KDE Plasma desktop enviro already have tools to adjust the monitor settings

Like this

[bright briar]

i see i try to change the brightness on the monitor itself

thats pretty cool you can do that

[thick elk]

you could before, and can do so on windows too, just integrated in plasma

[bright briar]

did you miss with the hdr settings on aw2725df (like gamma and etc) or just left them alone

[deft raptor]

Yeah, displayport protocol lets you communicate with the monitor

[raw stream]

a

[thick elk]

also in the last version it controlled all at the same time but now it works per monitor, though there are some issues still.

[deft raptor]

I am on DisplayHDR True Black

[thick elk]

DDC, not at all just displayport, even works on vga.

[deft raptor]

DDC, thanks for reminding me

[thick elk]

Depends on the monitor implementation, but in most cases brightness works alright

[bright briar]

game preset standard?

[thick elk]

Been using it for a long time.

[deft raptor]

Yeah

There's good info in : https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw2725df

[bright briar]

do you switch to hdr peak 1000 when playing a super dark game like for example dead space?

[bright briar]

ty

[deft raptor]

Haven't tried playing many games, I need get back into groove

[bright briar]

so this is from kde plasma app correct or arch linux?

[deft raptor]

Desktop environement : KDE Plasma

KDE Plasma is that one that supports HDR as well on Steam Deck

[bright briar]

ahh i see ty

so i gotta download linux to use apps like that then

i appreciate your advice and tips

[deft raptor]

No problem, there will be learning being required when switching OS from Win to Linux.

[steady sail]

Im gonna survive on windoge

Waay to many multiplayer games are not supported

[deft raptor]

You can get by with KDE Plasma because it is similar to Windows UI in some cases, that will help you navigate the rest

Yeah, there was a sudden uptick of ceasing the support on Linux

For me, multiplayer isn't even my groove

[sly sage]

I have a pc with a i7 12700kf and a RTX 4070 but a 60hz monitor what fps should I use in Fortnite

[steady sail]

There is a few mp games that i play with friend soo

[steady sail]

Leave it on unlimited and thats it

[deft raptor]

There's a list for game support on linux with anticheats : https://areweanticheatyet.com/

[steady sail]

Bc its gonna be 60hz anyway

[sly sage]

Ok

[balmy vector]

Plants vs zombies

[steady sail]

I know that but i love playing multiplayer games soo yeah xd

[steady sail]

And next time get a new monitor

At higher refresh rate like 240 lol

[scarlet sail]

does the wooting 60he have rappy snappy??

[steady sail]

Yes it has

[warped terrace]

Is the 60he+ module hotswap or sauter?

[digital cliff]

considering HE switches literally have no pins that you can solder

it's hotswap

[magic minnow]

Hell yeah

My friend was gonna get one but ended up going with the 4080 Super

[crisp granite]

wouldn't call it cringe
I have one and it is a monster

[unkempt lake]

Stupid idea atm lol

[gusty kiln]

this is what my microcenter is offering
