Meh, about standard

You can just get something like this and never worry again though https://www.amazon.com/MSI-QD-OLED-27-inch-Response-Adjustable/dp/B0D68C1BVS/

Jesus christ the tracking links

[bright briar]

i got the samsung g6 osd oled

pretty good

i would of kept my alienware but that auto brightness fucking killed my eyes

[halcyon moss]

Would have *

[cursive summit]

That one doesn't seem to be a QD-OLED, a gen 2 panel perhaps?

[mossy prawn]

Any recommendations for a podcast app (iOS)? Preferably open source.

[cursive summit]

Also, motherboards don't just explode

How does a mobo explode??

AORUS ELITE series is usually pretty damn good too

[unkempt lake]

He's talking about people failing to install 9800x3ds

And bending the socket

[ashen spindle]

no the 7800x3d originally had some boards cause short circuits that exploded the cpu

[cursive summit]

I've seen those but couldn't figure out what cause these spots

[ashen spindle]

he literally mentions teh 7800x3d

[ashen spindle]

and in theory if you never update bios it never removes the bad voltages

[analog sinew]

the cpu being installed offcenter and shorting power pins

thats what does it

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/qY0kEB-1MIc?si=73Kcp-XHkTjWlXCF

[cursive summit]

Is that an actual problem with BGA?

I am still on Zen 3 so, pins

[gloomy linden]

watch the video

all will be clear

[unkempt lake]

I used LGA for years and it's never been a problem

[cursive summit]

I see, that seems kind of like user negligence and not noticing the issue

Reminds me of the RTX 4090 connectors not being fully in

https://www.pcguide.com/news/battlemage-is-next-says-intel-and-one-leaked-250-gpu-could-make-nvidias-rtx-4060-look-like-a-waste-of-money/

[gloomy linden]

Tbh that kinda was a proper issue too

[cursive summit]

Wouldn't B580 be the one that's supposedly "RTX 4070 Super performance"

[gloomy linden]

Lga locks into place the 12v cable didnt really and there were faulty adapters

That and the sens pins thing

[cursive summit]

Shouldn't those be mostly resolved with ATX 3.1?

[gloomy linden]

Probably, but just saying that the early 4090 thing is not fully user negligence

[cursive summit]

Well it was certainly likely fully avoidable if the user did properly plug in the connector and hear a click

From what I remember from GN reporting

This seems also like the same thing, avoidable with care

But certainly manufacturer could have done more to prevent this, blame isn't fully off

[gloomy linden]

Yep I did watch the whole thing the click thing was early

There were several videos

And again the sense pins are what should have prevented it it should not have provided enough power to melt if those arent in
Edit: some part of the sense pin connection was too long I dont remember which part

[leaden kiln]

from what I remember even hearing the click it wasn't certain it was properly connected
certainly not a good design if so many people have problems

[sudden imp]

Hope so because we get another mining boom from the look of things

[cursive summit]

Huh, is crypto mining doing well?

[compact relic]

@cursive summit id say it's a solid oled monitor

[cursive summit]

Is the new one on..

The right?

Based on dark levels

[compact relic]

I think you can guess by looking at the dark areas

[cursive summit]

Yeah that's what I thought gives it away

[fickle ore]

8/

[cursive summit]

Is there some weird bloom?

[compact relic]

Oranges and pinks stood out pretty well compared to my old monitor too

Tried to take a pic but shitty phone camera doesn't show it that well

[cursive summit]

Happy with that purchase for that price?

[compact relic]

hell yea

[cursive summit]

I guess if backlight bleed bothers you particularly, it seems pretty good

[compact relic]

Big upgrade from a VA panel

240hz vs 144hz is barely noticeable though

[distant tapir]

Is that VA on the left?

[cursive summit]

That is honestly the general consensus

If you don't tell actual pros which display is which, they can easily distinguish 60 vs 144, however 144 vs 240 is harder

Imo 165/170Hz is good enough and you don't need 240Hz

You also spend a lot less if you go for 170Hz

[compact relic]

seeing something move ingame at 200fps did look a bit smoother vs 140 fps

and i dont think ive seen a sub 240hz oled

They all have such high refresh rates

[distant tapir]

Did you try ufo test? That makes it easier the see the difference in blur.

[smoky frigate]

700 for a 360hz zowie, which now serves as a Garfield display

no penny wasted tbh

[compact relic]

Didnt yet, I'll play with the screen more tomorrow

[cursive summit]

60/120 is standard on TVs

[compact relic]

14 hour workday i only had time to watch a few vids and play a match of space marine

[smoky frigate]

yeah. it's good, motion clarity is incredible. I could see pixel aliasing even moving the mouse fast in ow2. but for anything else I now use a janky old CRT I picked up for 10 bux lol

[compact relic]

Yeah but on pc monitors they're all pretty much like 240 and above

At least the ones ive ran into

[distant tapir]

Oled gaming monitors only started coming out in 2021. The first one was 175 Hz. The reason why they are usually high refresh rate is probably because they are somewhat expensive. If you make a 120 Hz one it will not be in very high demand I assume.

[distant tapir]

Yes.

[smoky frigate]

those are stickers from monster energy cans cause gamer

[distant tapir]

I haven't used my CRT since summer.

[smoky frigate]

they were good in specs for a long time, but not anymore. brightness isn't great, and especially not 20 years later. motion clarity is imo overrated, the afterglow is quite noticeable. I just like em

[distant tapir]

[smoky frigate]

this one can do 1440p at 85hz which is upper end for CRTs, and pretty low for flat displays now

yeah it took a fuckin long time tbf

[distant tapir]

I have never ran mine at above the dot pitch.

[leaden kiln]

what a menace to society

[smoky frigate]

details get pretty blurry at that resolution, I run 1280x960 since I don't want to ride it that hard for no reason

[distant tapir]

85 Hz looks amazing on a CRT. I'd take it over 240 Hz on an oled any day. And the other big advantage is of course that it only requires 85 fps.

[cursive summit]

You lot are talking about resolutions and CRTs and shit, when will the industry finally give me a proper 16:10 gaming display

[smoky frigate]

it looks good considering how low it is, but it's not clarity I think, just a different kind of blur

[cursive summit]

Ultrawide is for compensating, real people go for tall displays

16:10 gang

[distant tapir]

It's very very clear to me.

[leaden kiln]

16:12 gang

[smoky frigate]

I would buy a 4:3 flatpanel that can do 360hz or more in a heartbeat

[distant tapir]

4:3 is epic enough

[cursive summit]

Since I went 16:10 it's been hard not to not go back

That extra tallness just makes a lot of difference

[smoky frigate]

I never really liked widescreen

unless it's for movies

[cursive summit]

Nah 4:3 is meh

I don't mind the 16: part

I just want more height so 16:10 is just ♥️

I don't want it as tall as 4:3, I don't want it any longer than 16:, just give me a 16:10

[marsh glade]

Only if it's curved

[cursive summit]

Why can't the industry just give me 16:10

[distant tapir]

Flip the 16:9 display to make it tall.

[cursive summit]

Again, there's the perfect middle in that, and I just need that :10 and I'm good

UW though is.. disgusting

I cannot understand how people enjoy ultrawides

[smoky frigate]

they're kind of cool curved

[cursive summit]

I'm good with 2 normal displays, just make em both 16:10

Although I've been looking at those vertically positioned curved ones, and they look.. practical I guess?

[smoky frigate]

I prefer 16:10 to 16:9 as well, but my heart is at 4:3

https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming/rd280u.html

3:2 also fuckin great

[distant tapir]

The world is not ready.

[smoky frigate]

high-hz 3:2 monitor would be my dream. it will remain a dream. but one can dream

[cursive summit]

If gamers don't want it, it won't exist

Which is rather annoying

Only some select few cool ones for office use but those are nearly always 60Hz or maybe rarely 75

[smoky frigate]

yeaah... some are for video editing, so maybe there's hope that one can be high hz one day

I love my gaymer shit as much as the next guy but it's all 16:9 which feels claustrophobic

[distant tapir]

I hate when games don't support 4:3.

Even though it's totally understandable for a modern game.

At least some ones are moddeable like ER.

[cursive summit]

Hmm

120Hz 16:10 but... so damn small

[smoky frigate]

I hate it more when games are still locked to 60hz, it looks like having someone who just drank 2 bottles of tabasco shit in my eyes

actually maybe I should just play those on the CRT

[distant tapir]

Man I had so many issues with ER on my CRT.

[distant tapir]

Those games are perfect for CRTs.

[smoky frigate]

wtf? I haven't had that. had to install an ultrawide mod to get 4:3, ironically enough

[cursive summit]

Elden Ring

[distant tapir]

ER at 60 fps looks damn nice, clear and smooth on mine.

But sadly modding is needed for 4:3 so I can't play online.

[smoky frigate]

can be modded out, and I never play souls games online so it's okay

but it still works flawless above 60hz, I think they locked it to hide how awful the optimization is

[distant tapir]

Here's to hoping From Software's next game can do above 60 natively.

Japan seems so behind on this. I wonder how many there still use 60 Hz screens.

[smoky frigate]

prolly. DS1 remaster does high hz perfectly

[ashen spindle]

it easily can

armored core 6 runs 120 no issue

[distant tapir]

[smoky frigate]

but that was developed by polish übermenschen so who knows if from gives a shit about it

[distant tapir]

DS1 modded has a bug with ladders when fps is uncapped. Still my preferred version.

[smoky frigate]

I hated hated hated hated hated that port, hated it

[distant tapir]

Prepare to Die? Yeah it's bad.

[crimson wigeon]

Amazed how it happened after being memed into existence though but yeah gorramn it was rough

[distant tapir]

But with the mod I forgot the name of it becomes the ultimate version of DS1 on PC.

[smoky frigate]

dsfix? I oddly enough didn't like that too much either. I finished the PTD edition unmodded twice for some reason

[crimson wigeon]

You don't often see games where the render resolution is fixed and can't be changed without mods

[smoky frigate]

remaster was a dogsend, lighting is a bit weird in that version but the advantages far outweigh its weaknesses imo

[distant tapir]

Yeah dsfix. I do like unmodded too (because of nostalgia).

The low resolution 30 fps + heavy motion blur original reminds me of when I first played it so it's highly nostalgic.

[smoky frigate]

fun fact, the author of dsfix formed a company that ports PC games

this year, he released the (so far) only game that officially supports SGSSAA, a technique that died out with dx9

and it's some weeb game

still the weirdest gaming news of the year for me

[distant tapir]

Why does almost every Japanese game have combat like that.

[smoky frigate]

I dunno, I haven't played a jrpg since the PS2 days, didn't have time for them anymore once I started work life lol

but from the screenshot it looks like the FFX fight system

which was.. okay I guess. I still like the active time battle system from Chrono Trigger the most

[tight dragon]

I was thinking of buying one of those

[cursive summit]

Why a 16"

They are small like a laptop screen

[tight dragon]

It could also be used as a secondary monitor

[cursive summit]

Ehh.. I don't follow the logic

You usually buy those because you plan to move around a la.. Steam Deck or such

[tight dragon]

Yeah

[cursive summit]

They are not great for primary monitor usage, or secondary for that matter

[wheat plume]

If you are too far back from it
You will have a hard time using it as a second monitor unless you use a really large scaling percentage

[cursive summit]

You want screen estate, 27" is perfect

[tight dragon]

Mmmm

I always have the worst luck with finding these things tf

[wheat plume]

What size is your current display?

[tight dragon]

I haven't bought one yet.

I was thinking of buying one

[wheat plume]

But you said you were thinking of getting this as a second monitor
Which means you already have one, usually

[cursive summit]

My laptop is 17", the screen is 32"

You want a normal display imo, get a 27"

[wheat plume]

Ooo unity!

[tight dragon]

I'm currently just using a laptop. I plan to buy a PC with a monitor pretty soon.

[wheat plume]

Ah....
16 inch sound be fine as a second LAPTOP display...
But definitely not for a second computer display

[cursive summit]

While my main rig is borked I'm just doing some 2D shit

I don't mind Unity, seems fun

[wheat plume]

Is ok xd

[cursive summit]

You don't want a small display lol, 17" is tiny compared to a 32

27" is just perfect for everyday use

Gaming, work, etc, 27 handles it all

And usually they don't have any problems fitting on your table

[distant tapir]

Mine is 20 inches.

[cursive summit]

Unlike UWQHD

[tight dragon]

This is gonna be my main monitor by the way https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8Q6S98S

[cursive summit]

So you're going with that one?

[unkempt lake]

49 inches is better

go 49 inches

5120x1440

[tight dragon]

It's more affordable

[cursive summit]

Well, I have a 27" IPS and it's pretty good

[unkempt lake]

Bigger number means more better

[tight dragon]

Eh

[unkempt lake]

🧠

[tight dragon]

That's not always the case,

[unkempt lake]

join me

[distant tapir]

Unironically true. Not for size though.

[tight dragon]

Like the CPU's for instance, they could have the same series at a older model and still sell the same system for a higher price in a newer model

[cursive summit]

Well the BenQ is Gsync compatible so I guess that's fine

[cursive summit]

You really don't want this lol

[unkempt lake]

I do

And i love it

[tight dragon]

gawd dayum

[unkempt lake]

Its a gamechanger

[cursive summit]

You do Dashi, love, but nobody else needs that lol

Nothing double 27 can't handle

[reef patrol]

[tight dragon]

I see the flex, you clearly have bank

[cursive summit]

Evorist could you look for more displays?

[unkempt lake]

I made @crisp granite join the club so yes everyone needs it

Clearly

[cursive summit]

Cause the one you picked out the BenQ is not certified by Nvidia

[distant tapir]

I like thick and very thin bezels. But not really ones that are in the middle.

[cursive summit]

Look for one with GSync

[unkempt lake]

ugly bezels ):

[cursive summit]

Not a problem imo

[tight dragon]

Which would you recommend because I'm at the short end of a stick here...

[cursive summit]

Well, everyone's got their preferences

[cursive summit]

How much are you willing to spend on a display?

[tight dragon]

I'm already spending 3k on the PC itself

[unkempt lake]

I ran 3x24 inch before and going with a single 49 inch was just... gamechanging for me

[cursive summit]

I don't really need more than 2 displays so that'd just be insane

[cursive summit]

So.. how much?

[high urchin]

good mouses on a budget?

[tight dragon]

Give me some display and I'll think about it

[cursive summit]

Can you send me that rig again?

The PC build

[tight dragon]

Yeah sure

[cursive summit]

Is that still with an RTX 4090?

[tight dragon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ZsQZc

It's a good build tho, I like it

[cursive summit]

That's already a 500$ display

[tight dragon]

yeah

[cursive summit]

Also get rid of that damn Microsoft copy

That's 130$ wasted

[distant tapir]

$130 Windows lmao

Maybe it's possible to shave off enough to upgrade to a 4090.

[tight dragon]

People been telling me windows is better

[cursive summit]

4090 is 800$ on top of that 4080Super

[cursive summit]

No, it's not possible

[distant tapir]

And I don't want to be that guy but we are pretty damn close to 5000 series...

[cursive summit]

Brother, I am not saying you should not get Windows, I'm saying is that you don't need to spend 130$ for Windows

Windows is, technically, free, you can never activate it

[tight dragon]

I ain't pirating bruh

[ashen spindle]

you dont need to pirate it

[cursive summit]

Just buy a 5$ key and it'll be a legit purchase

[unkempt lake]

Just buy an oem key for 10$

[cursive summit]

Those 130$ retail copies are for businesses

[unkempt lake]

Fair, i just like having space to do everything :3

[cursive summit]

Businesses buy those

[tight dragon]

On the website right?

[reef patrol]

It is entirely legal to keep Windows unactivated. Just have to live with the obnoxious watermark, or pay a suspect seller on eBay 2-3 bucks for an OEM key.

[tight dragon]

Yeah..I hate those

Is that why people like linux

[unkempt lake]

No

[cursive summit]

What, no

[reef patrol]

[unkempt lake]

Wtf lol

[tight dragon]

jking

[unkempt lake]

It you like giving daddy ms 130$ that's your call

I'm laughing at you for it tho

[cursive summit]

Anyways, Evorist, just remove that 130$ Windows copy from the list

[tight dragon]

alright

[cursive summit]

There are legal ways to have Windows for free

Or dirt cheap

[unkempt lake]

I just enjoy saving money XD

How do you think i can afford my giant monitor

[cursive summit]

Anyways instead of that Windows copy, you should prolly get this display https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MPG-271QRX-QD-OLED-response/dp/B0CTS1RQ6Y

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/mpg-271qrx-qd-oled

If that one is too expensive, get this one https://www.amazon.com/MSI-QD-OLED-27-inch-Response-Adjustable/dp/B0D68C1BVS

I'll check it out

Got one for nico for 200cad :D dell has a 30 day low price policy thingy and i got it for 250cad and i just sent their support an email when it dropped to 200cad a week later and they gave me a partial refund

Pretty sure they'll have it go for 200cad for black friday and its just... a really good deal

thought i'd let yall know in case you needed an affordable option

[cursive summit]

Hold on a minute, is MSI selling the same panel but artificially nerfing its display rate with the 271QRX and 271QPX

I think they have the same panel MSI has just locked the 360 option

I wonder if there's a way to flash the other's firmware and unlock the 360 on the cheaper panel

[unkempt lake]

Maybe "bad" panels that couldn't hit the refresh

What’s the best consumer grade action camera rn. Like 300$-450$ Also r they good for taking still pictures? If not should I get a separate camera?

[empty wren]

Pretty happy with my Ace Pro

Though could go a bit cheaper DJI's offering

If you want most accessory support probably best to do with GoPro

The thing to note though is you need another device to view the stills or videos in full glory, they got hdr and 8k now.

[quartz leaf]

That’s what I was thinking but it isn’t as good as insta 360s

[quartz leaf]

Yeah

[empty wren]

Insta 360 does have a lot of offerings

Like perhaps you want the 360 cam j have no idea, that is up to you

[quartz leaf]

Idk how good r insta 360s at mounting

Like can they mount to headbands and the handle and stuff

Can’t I also get an adapter

[empty wren]

For basic stuff like that check their site.

[quartz leaf]

Alr

[empty wren]

Perhaps there are more accessories out now, I just bought a cam and strapped it to my float wheel time to time.

[quartz leaf]

Is it good at still pictures or would I be better off with an older Samsung camera

Idk the model which would help a lot in this discussion but it’s my dads

[empty wren]

This is not gonna help you much, but the best camera is the one on you. As far as action cameras go, they got pretty good processing now. You can pull a raw photo if you wanted to edit it too

I currently have this PC I bought from Newegg.

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali549/p/N82E16883360169?tpk=1

However I tend to move a bit and it quite annoying having to do 3 trips for my pc / stuff alone and would like to build a pc like this, that I can carry with one hand without giving up performance.

https://youtu.be/wbujLJ25oUU?si=l-1HJfBzQ9Fu_Kfm

Will I see performance issues with this build? What are your guys opinion. Thanks!!

Note: One thing I noticed is that my pc has the gigabyte aorus 3070 ti and is being listed on amazon for 950, whereas the build has a 4070 super for 550. Wondering why that’s the case.

[unkempt lake]

Its the same parts as a regular pc just smaller

You can reuse some of your current parts

Just reuse your 3070 ti

[hard warren]

That 3070 is probably sold by a third party seller which is probably posting at that price to rip someone off

[unkempt lake]

<@&1098943457654997093>

[unkempt lake]

Guy already has a 3070 ti he doesn't need to buy anything new

[hard warren]

True. However he can also try to sell it and buy something new

But that GPU is plenty

[unkempt lake]

Pain in the ass not worth the time yet

Hr should just focus on buying everything else

Then if he feels like selling his gpu to upgrade he can do that at the end

And get a proper view of how much money he has to spend

Instead of just guessing

Cuz he'll have everything he needs already

[hard warren]

Yep

Tbh I would try to sell that pc and see what he would get

Sell it without the GPU, and buy a am5 system with whatever he gets

Nah you’re crazy if you don’t love Elden ring, Witcher and similar games on that wide fov

It gives such a nice extra viewing over default 16:9

same in mmos and other games that aren’t just competitive fps

[distant tapir]

It is.

[magic minnow]

I don’t remember what I played Elden Ring on if it was widescreen or my other monitor

[unkempt lake]

Super Ultrawide or nothing

[unkempt lake]

Elden ring doesn't support UW

unless modded

[magic minnow]

Ohhhhh Smort 75% of the screen for you and 25% for moumou

[bright briar]

i heard its a good monitor. @balmy vector got the 240hz version of that line

[magic minnow]

Neat

[bright briar]

i would of bought it but its like 1.4k cad

[magic minnow]

I’m gonna keep on eye and hope it goes on sale or just buy it outright

[bright briar]

pay attention to the 4k monitors that have dual mode

they look neat imo

[balmy vector]

its a bright boy for an oled

[noble oxide]

I have a 4070 right now but thinking about upgrading 4080 super to boost my frames mainly, but worried since the 50 series are around the corner. What should I do 😭

[bright briar]

wait

for next gen gpu

[magic minnow]

They do look neat

[grizzled rock]

Nice styles

[magic minnow]

Yeah just wait for next gen

[noble oxide]

Forsure, i will probably just upgrade my cpu at that point too. Thanks for the help

[bright briar]

haters gonna hate

[unkempt lake]

@magic minnow why do you dislike your ultrawide

I don't get it

[gusty kiln]

anybody got a good 2.5gig nic recommendation?

[magic minnow]

I don’t dislike it; just feel like it’s a little too much screen

[frozen ingot]

for me they're a bit too wide in relation to the height, a 21:10 ratio or something would be interesting

[noble oxide]

I’m looking at monitors too, i really want an oled with 240hz. Right now thinking of the Corsair Xeneon 27in but would anyone have another recommendation. Budget is $600-$700

[atomic dragon]

MSI MAG 271QPX

[winter patrol]

or the Asus XG27AQDMG

[quaint dew]

271qpx the one to go for

$579 360 hz

aw2725df is $699, better but not $120 better

My mouise battery finally died omfh, after so many months of use!

just popped in another battery

[ashen spindle]

why do you want Li mice instead of the regular rechargable ones

[wheat plume]

ayooo, fully back to full

same ;-;

[leaden kiln]

I still haven't had to charge my new mouse but I can still tell the battery life will be worse than my superlight

[steady sail]

idk how can ppl run 8k at all

my pc died on 4k xD

[wheat plume]

huh????

[ashen spindle]

yeah but li ones are not at 1.2V so you cant charge them with the same chargers

[steady sail]

i went back to 2k polling

[leaden kiln]

I run 1k
Did on my superlight too

it's fine

just a bit worse

[charred nexus]

I've been using so many mouse with shit battery i don't even know which one is good

Cuz one dies I just swap to another

[steady sail]

this would be a good mic setup right ?

[wheat plume]

🤦‍♀️

[leaden kiln]

as someone with an ok but not great xlr setup I feel like it doesn't make much sense to go for xlr over a usb microphone, if you aren't going for top of the line stuff or need low latency monitoring or another specific feature from an interface

an actual answer to the question is that I don't think it will be a bad setup
But you could probably get similar performance for cheaper with less parts and cabling cluttering your setup

[cursive summit]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1h2iqlc/you_can_no_longer_get_ubo_from_the_chrome_web/

Why you should not use Chrome

Fuck Manifest 3.0

[ashen spindle]

why you shoudl not trust random reddit accounts

works for me just fine

[cursive summit]

Can you download it though?

I suspect you can't cause I browsed the comments and I saw people agreeing and providing workarounds

[unkempt lake]

They have Ublock Lite which is compatible

But i agree, firefox superiority

[cursive summit]

I've been using Firefox since I was 6 years old

Not far off 20 years of Firefox

[wheat plume]

Is the Manifest V2 and V3 stuff specific to Chrome / Chromium or all browsers?

[frozen ingot]

netscape navigator

[cursive summit]

Chromium

[frozen ingot]

nevar forget the og internet explorer killer

[cursive summit]

But Chromium is like what 80-90% of worldwide marketshare

So whatever Chromium does everyone else will have to do

[scenic thunder]

Depending on the mic, XLR sounds totally different

[frozen ingot]

xlr doesn't sound like anything, its just a connector

[cursive summit]

XLR to USB compresses the audio majorly afaik so there is actually a big difference

[scenic thunder]

Me and my fiance both use Samson q2u's. His over usb, mine over XLR, and his mic couldn't sound more different, different noise gate thresholds. Functionally acts like a whole different mic. If I swap to XLR over his dac it's back to being similar to mine.

[frozen ingot]

usb mics are usually self-contained with audio interface and mic preamp built into that has to be powered by the limitations of usb power, so you're not going to get the full potential of a more powerful mic

using the xlr gives you the option of using whatever interface/preamp you like

[leaden kiln]

not saying it's gonna sound the exact same, just saying you can get a nice usb mic for less than 165 that won't be far off

[scenic thunder]

100%, unless you feel like you need your voice sounding really true to life, it's extra cost you don't need on an average setup

[distant tapir]

Yep.

[frozen ingot]

usb mics are more than sufficient for peoples usual microphone uses like video calls/conferences, gaming voicecom etc

[distant tapir]

Less of a hassle too.

[scenic thunder]

Less wires

[distant tapir]

Personally I'm a wireless headset enjoyer for that reason.

[frozen ingot]

I have both usb and xlr on my mic but using the usb 99% of the time, xlr will come in handy should I want to actually record things with relative quality

[leaden kiln]

my vr headset sounds so much better than my regular setup that my friends were surprised and asked if I had a new mic

technically usb mic but not a budger option

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9000x3d-and-x870-btf-motherboard-launching-at-ces-2025-asus-china-suggests

[steady sail]

i mean i can just get that mic setup without the XLR interface and just use USB

[frozen ingot]

yeah mines way overkill for casual discord or zoom

[steady sail]

i mean i could just get this

without the XLR interface

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/inno3d-brazil-confirms-geforce-rtx-50-at-ces

[frozen ingot]

also those softwares apply so much compression and other processing to the mic audio a cheap tiny headset mic and a proper dynamic one sounds the same

[cursive summit]

Why'd the Inno3D rep say that 5090 is out in 3 weeks

That's.. holiday season?

At the same time can they please just call it "Titan" already

[steady sail]

yeah nvidia RTX Titan AI

[scenic thunder]

Unless you do podcasting, vocal recording, or something in that realm of work/hobby, it's just extra cost

[leaden kiln]

I will say physical volume knob on the interface is really nice but that's about the only benefit I care about 💀 and probably not worth 80€

[steady sail]

i want a mic that only picks up my voice and not everything else

thats why i wanna spend a little bit premium

[frozen ingot]

most mics for these purposes are directional by design, and softwares like discord has pretty sophisticated noise suppression algos for only picking up your voice

[steady sail]

my family can be louder and discord noise suppression still picks it up

like i need to mute myself bc my friends ask me tf is going on in the background

with discord noise suppresion

[frozen ingot]

background voices are kinda hard to block out regardless of mic tbh

[scenic thunder]

Any mic with a cardioid pattern is fine then, they're designed to only pick up the directly infront of them. If the people are in the same room there's not a ton you can do

[steady sail]

they are outside of my room or in complete other room

[unkempt lake]

Use the amd noise supression thing

[frozen ingot]

if their voices are almost as loud as your own there's not that much you can do but temporarely mute

[unkempt lake]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adrenalin/amd-noise-suppression.html @steady sail

[steady sail]

i have to mute myself for longer

[steady sail]

everyone tells me my voice is shit with this soo NO

[frozen ingot]

I mean that's gonna do the same thing, all these algos are designed to ignore random noises but pick up voices, afaik none of them can differentiate your voice from people in the background

[unkempt lake]

maybe your voice is shit regarldess of what you do

Sorry had to make the joke

[steady sail]

[wild coyote]

Depends on the mic and volume

[leaden kiln]

hey Google train an ai on his voice and make a filter

[steady sail]

my mic was 30 euro from a friend soo

[bright briar]

[unkempt lake]

Get a headset mic @steady sail

[steady sail]

i wanna enjoy my IEMS

[unkempt lake]

Its gonna be so close to your mouth it should limit everything else from being picked up

[unkempt lake]

Well look you can't have everything

[wild coyote]

You got a few options

[unkempt lake]

Tough shit xD

[steady sail]

[wild coyote]

Get a headset mic (just leave it on your neck)

[frozen ingot]

am expecting machine learning algos to implement selective passthrough like this soon

[wild coyote]

Or, get a proper mic that does the job

[frozen ingot]

been using a shure mv7 for about a year now, since these mics aren't wearables its a challenge placing it close enough to your face and dialling in a low enough volume on it to only pick up sound close to it

[steady sail]

yeah the mv7 is out of my price range kinda

[frozen ingot]

wouldn't spend its cost on a pc mic either but it made a nice gift

tbh even approaching the €100 bar is excessive for the intended use

[noble oxide]

Does anyone know the difference between the msi qpx and the qrx? Is it just quantum dot?

[deft raptor]

Eh, being able to use xlr mics also allows you to buy a used excellent mic on ebay

Also, XLR perfectly makes sense for mics

[steady sail]

not when u are Hungarian

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, I remember now

[marsh pewter]

dude are you seriously using takmind tokens on these easily researched questions?

[noble oxide]

Appreciate the info (:

[marsh pewter]

oh ok brother, carry on 🫡.

[smoky frigate]

every couple weeks I check back on one of germany's biggest online computer parts retailers on intel sales numbers. they don't seem to sell the 285K anymore at the moment, but the 265K has a combined sale of 90 units

you did it intel, you'll sell a whole 100 265Ks soon!

last time I checked, they had sold 20 285Ks

[deft raptor]

[sudden imp]

Saw ublock origin is no longer avaible on chrome. I still have it downloaded so I assume a future update will get rid of it?

[smoky frigate]

you can use ungoogled-chromium for manifest v2 support, or brave

[marsh pewter]

you can get unblock origin lite

[sudden imp]

yikes so I don't know when it'll break but it just will?

[ashen spindle]

people still get it I havent seen people aside the reddit post mention it

the reason it wont work is app manifest v3 breaking ad blockers

just use ublock origin lite when you start seing issues

[sudden imp]

when i start seeing issues I might just switch to fire fox ngl

[smoky frigate]

why, it's shit

||I'm kidding||

librewolf is the way

[ashen spindle]

I mean lite seems to work just as well for most people

[steady sail]

im happy with vivaldi

[ashen spindle]

so no point changing when just switching add on does the same imo

[sudden imp]

i guess

But how long will be it be until origin lite breaks?

[ashen spindle]

idk next decade?

[smoky frigate]

whenever the cocaine runs out in the google management office again and they dictate another shit change

[ashen spindle]

v3 took ages and we dont even know of a new plan beyond that so nothing soon

lets not get too hasty with that actually doing anything xD

[smoky frigate]

america, doing something? surely you jest

[ashen spindle]

certainly in the next 4 years I dont see that happening

[gusty kiln]

woo got my unraid server up and running, now my 3 hard drives just needs to come

probably stick with XFS for now

[vagrant pagoda]

Why would you use either of those for raid in 2024

[gusty kiln]

all I got are my cache drives

3 more days for my 12TB Red plus....

[deft raptor]

I am not sure if I should upgrade my ram from 16gb to 32gb since I will be on DDR4 until AM6 lands

[ashen spindle]

am6 likely isn't before like 2028 so you decide what you want/need

[deft raptor]

Alright, know any game that needs more than 16gb of ram ?

Red dead 2, very unlikely that I would play this game

That's good enough for me. thanks

In fact, I cannot remember a game where it performs better with more ram capacity

Maybe emulators ?

True, so far I will be fine with soon to have this 5700x3d

[cursive summit]

I have absolutely 0 interest in Win11 but.. why is this shit paid? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates

Why are they forcing peeps to pay for SECURITY updates? They can always continue to roll them out, it's not like 11 is so much totally different that they can't just backwards - engineer them from 11

[ashen spindle]

Because it costs them money to make more updates for it?

[cursive summit]

Does it though? It's not unlikely that the same solution works on both OS versions

The costs would be minimal

[crimson wigeon]

To encourage people to stop using outdated operating systems

[cursive summit]

Yeah I am also refusing to use an inferior one

[ashen spindle]

No the costs are far from minimal, paying software engineers is the most expensive thing to do lol

[reef patrol]

Basically because it is created by a team of folks at Microsoft whose fulltime job is being paid to keep these old systems running and safe.

[cursive summit]

Software engineers, imo, would have the least amount of work if the security updates are mutual with 11, it's mainly just QA

[ashen spindle]

Also there is nothing technical to discuss about it being cracked so no point showing the screenshot because it’s just advertising for piracy

It’s not mutual code base lol

[cursive summit]

Bleh, fine

[reef patrol]

Keep in mind that there are entire factories basically running on Windows XP to this day. Robots, CNCs and so on and so forth.

[crimson wigeon]

I guess that new activation thingy is like the scripts but turbocharged

[cursive summit]

11 I sincerely doubt is much more different than 10

[reef patrol]

Microsoft aren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart - but they also don't want entire companies to potentially fail to bad security. I imagine they could charge more if it was strictly aimed at manufacturing.

[cursive summit]

Well, inferior it is, but behind the hood it's prolly just similar

Then again I'd be always open to sources to prove me wrong

[gusty kiln]

oh sweet I can control the nas fan with plugins

[cursive summit]

What I mainly don't get is how are they trying to get peeps to pay for the security updates for 3 extra years, when Windows 7 got a free pack update just last year

Win7 released in 2009 and got its last update 14 years later

Win10 sure is 9 years old, and gets discontinued I think next year? But that's 3 years of extra updates they are asking you to pay for

They are really making me contemplate Linux and I hate it

[limber iron]

Look dms please and ty

[unkempt lake]

Well then you gotta pay up

Or switch to linux

[ashen spindle]

win7 got updates last year because the extended paid support went up to last year

[wild coyote]

Windows 7, but the entire UI is hyprland

[smoky frigate]

I do remember some third party window managers for windows from the xp days, that was wild and pointless

KDE folks were like
"what the fuck, all the hardware is supported? I can't work with this"

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/exclusive-intel-arc-battlemage-to-launch-december-12th

[smoky frigate]

yay more flops

[cursive summit]

This is surprising timeline cause GN literally said that they do not have any Intel GPUs yet nor any NDAs signed

.. sure they can always be just lying cause they did sign an NDA, but interesting

[cursive summit]

I doubt these will be flops

Maybe they'll get em soon I guess

[smoky frigate]

maybe not in machine learning markets, but if the steam hardware survey tells me anything is that price doesn't seem to matter, people will continue to buy nvidia

[cursive summit]

Ah so sales flops, that's prolly likely

But as hardware I actually suspect these will be pretty damn good

Well, yeah?

[ashen spindle]

launch != release

[cursive summit]

These will be mid-range offerings that will be competitively priced

[ashen spindle]

and if its release and reviews tehy might only shipt them out this week

[smoky frigate]

if they make a good sub-300 doller gpu they could gain some traction

[cursive summit]

Supposedly the 4070S performing model will be like 300$ or something

Which is kinda nuts

We'll see though, I see potential in Intel, but they have a major hurdle

Cost optimizations

Intel can defo set up a good place in the low to mid end, but only if they can avoid the whole division getting axed

AMD is comfortable setting up great performing mid to higher end cards, and NV is as always doing high end

However low end just kinda doesn't exist much, Intel can perform well there

Though with how gigantic Intel silicon is they need to optimize costs lol

If they continue to be in major red numbers like with Alchemist, they will get the whole thing axed

[unkempt lake]

Amd has tried this before, never really worked

I mean hell

[cursive summit]

Worked with me, I bought RX 5700

[unkempt lake]

Last time they directly competed at the highend was like... the 295x2

[cursive summit]

Last time they competed at high end was RX 6950X??

Dashi, that was like 3 years ago

7900XTX is competitive as well lol yeah

[unkempt lake]

I have an XTX

[cursive summit]

AMD is competing comfortably in high end

[ashen spindle]

xtx is not close to 4090 lmao

[cursive summit]

4090 is a Titan, idgaf

[unkempt lake]

It's competit e against 4080/80 super

[cursive summit]

4080S is about a match to XTX and that's all that matters

[unkempt lake]

Not the 90

[ashen spindle]

rdna2 competed, 4090 exists and if amd had a competitor we would have gottent he 4090ti

[unkempt lake]

Is it but i was talking halo cards

[ashen spindle]

keep in mind 4090 is not using the full die

[unkempt lake]

Hence why i said the 295x2 lol

[cursive summit]

If AMD wanted to make the 7950XTX, they were planning to, and were like "nah"

[unkempt lake]

Hell that beat nvidia back then

It was true high end conpetiton

And they didn't win market share from it

That's the point i'm trying to make

[distant tapir]

Why do you think it's so hard for AMD to compete with the 4090? What are they lacking?

[unkempt lake]

Even when amd outperforms nvidia, they don't gain marketshare

[cursive summit]

It's not hard lol, they just don't want to

[ashen spindle]

tf do you mean its not hard, they tried and got skill issued on rdna3

[cursive summit]

AMD can easily just scale up the XTX

[ashen spindle]

no they cant?????

power draw would explode

[cursive summit]

That was literally the 7950XT though

They just didn't see the point

[unkempt lake]

The xtx already used so much power

[ashen spindle]

thats just not true at all either

[smoky frigate]

easy fix, put a 230V plug into the back of the card

[unkempt lake]

Also like I love my XTX but I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for that price mistake a year and a half ago

I got it for 1200cad with it being like... barely a few months old

If it had been at msrp i'd have just idk... cried for my wallet and grabbed a 4080

Cuz when you're at 1500+ cad what's an extra 100cad

[ashen spindle]

instability of what, the interconnect? the physical die?

either way nothing points towards that

[deft raptor]

It would make this gpu even bulkier because they have convert the AC to DC

[ashen spindle]

we know that in stuff like blender the cards can clock much higher within the same power so its most lilkely a physical design issue in the register file or who knows where that fucks the clocks in gaming and thus limits how well they can do

not an issue of chiplets nor the architechture

[cursive summit]

Ew that.. price https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-claw-8-ai-revealed-up-to-core-ultra-7-258v-32gb-ram-899-price-and-late-december-launch

Did they forget that the reason people bought the Deck is cause it was actually affordable?

[deft raptor]

Lmao this shape, they chopped up an xbox controller and put a screne in middle of that ?

[cursive summit]

Imagine buying this when the RTX 4080 is like just a few bucks short

[ashen spindle]

did you forgot valve said they were surprised how many people jumped to the most expensive model, showing people didnt buy it because of cheap price?

yeah nah that part is working insanely well

[cursive summit]

Valve buyers are shills, so it doesn't matter

[unkempt lake]

7900xtx msrp be like

I love mine but they borked the msrp on that thing

[cursive summit]

XTX is currently completely well priced

[unkempt lake]

Currently

[smoky frigate]

oh hey from the cachy server lol

[cursive summit]

At launch it was.. still fairly priced I'd say

[unkempt lake]

Not at launch @cursive summit

[deft raptor]

Oh yeah, after many 7900 gre went out of stock, prices from other sellers are crazy like 1200 cad

[unkempt lake]

1500cad 7900xtx vs 1600cad 4080

[cursive summit]

Considering it performs the same in raster as a 4080 it's fine

The features are worse but you also get AFMF2 which you don't with Nvidia

[deft raptor]

I know 7900xt can be hand at around 900 cad

[unkempt lake]

At 1200cad it was a steal for me :3

[cursive summit]

Oh right actually, I got to try out AFMF2 today

It's actually kinda nuts how good it is

[unkempt lake]

Oh yeah afmf2 is good

I love it i use it in forza space marine 2 and a few other games

[cursive summit]

When I play Stalker 2 with FSR3 I can constantly notice fake frame ghosting

Less so with DLSS3, but they are present

I could not see ANY with AFMF2

I was mind blown, like what the fuck

[unkempt lake]

Afmf2 has a way higher latency tho

[ashen spindle]

yeah no that makes no sense when afmf is literalyl worse than built in frame gen

[unkempt lake]

I can feel it compared to fsr3fg

[ashen spindle]

it literalyl has less data

[deft raptor]

Yeah, I moved from Arch Linux to a new install of CachyOS. Holy shit, I learned some issues I had with firefox about UI being buggy. Turns out my arch linux install is fubar, not even config clearing for KDE will fix this.

[unkempt lake]

I know but i've visually seen it too, holo scopes have noticeable trailing on FSRFG but not with afmf2

But i'll take trailing over latency tbh

So i'm sticking with fsr3fg for that game

[cursive summit]

Honestly all I need AMD to do right now is to enable FSR2 and FSR3 to use that neural stuff to make the upscalers better

[ashen spindle]

then its impressive how bad they implemented fsr I the game I guess?

[smoky frigate]

I have honestly never ran stock cachy, but I stole a lotta tweaks from their packages. my arch installations also tend to be quite suboptimal, but I don't let the perfect get in the way of the good 😛

[deft raptor]

There mods that adds fsr3.1 in some games.

[ashen spindle]

what neural stuff, you can just make it use black magic ai boxes and expect stuff to be fixed

[unkempt lake]

Fairly common half assed implementation, ready or not had the same issues with scopes and fsr3 actually

so idk if its just

[cursive summit]

You know, just make it up to par with DLSS's image quality

[unkempt lake]

Half assed or fsr fg having an issue

[cursive summit]

That's kind of the only gripe I have with AMD, just how good DLSS is

AFMF2 is showing me though that they can do it

dlss is dogshit though

[cursive summit]

DLSS in my experience is great

[unkempt lake]

at 5120x1440 fsr quality looks good enough

But yeah dlss is better

[ashen spindle]

ew

[smoky frigate]

dlss is only good relative to its competition, I have gotten quite sick of it

[unkempt lake]

Espexially at lower res

[cursive summit]

The only part of DLSS I am sick of is devs optimizing their games around DLSS

But the tech behind it is nice

[deft raptor]

To be fair, I broke tons of things because I was on KDE 5 and upgraded to 6. There gotta tons of skeletons in the closet

[unkempt lake]

it's ew at anything lower than quality

[cursive summit]

DLSS-FG though is amazing

[ashen spindle]

oh god thats even worse

[cursive summit]

It has some problems in Stalker 2 though, DLSS3, some weird ass stuttering and artifacting, as a tech though I quite love it

[unkempt lake]

Obviously it's worse it's a lower setting

[ashen spindle]

like literally, fsr3-fg uses like half the resources and time to generate the frame too lol

[cursive summit]

I'd rather play with DLSS3 than native 40FPS lol

[ashen spindle]

you know that just makes your latency even worse though

[cursive summit]

I play just fine even with that latency

[ashen spindle]

I guess if you can placebo yourself into thinking its better it is better

[cursive summit]

Placebo or not, feeling good is all that matters

[unkempt lake]

Fg feels awful below like 50fps

[smoky frigate]

oh boy KDE never treated me well. I quite like the maximalist approach and fast implementation of features. if only it wasn't a bugfest. I've been running gnome since 2018 and plan to keep it that way, lack of screen tearing be damned

[unkempt lake]

Like

50-60 is tolerable

[deft raptor]

I remember seeing a twitch viewer reporting the reflection angle is wrong on water surface reflection.

[unkempt lake]

Above 60 feels fine

[cursive summit]

I have all that reflection shit turned off just to be able to run the game lol

[deft raptor]

I will have think, because KDE was my choice because of support in Steam Deck for various features including HDR

[smoky frigate]

they tend to have cool stuff far earlier than gnome, who seem very intent on doing things their own way, which (from what I heard) was also a major source of slowdown in wayland development

[unkempt lake]

I get 60-75 w fsr quality on epic @cursive summit i run FG and get around 120-130ish fps

[deft raptor]

Wasnt the community being slow to agree on some wayland extensions ?

[unkempt lake]

For stalker

[cursive summit]

Yeah with that card it's perfectly normal lol, I have a bunch of performance tweaks installed that even you'd massively get boosts from

[smoky frigate]

as far as I understand it, the freedesktop community is made up of engineers from various companies and projects, and it was usually the gnome people causing problems

[unkempt lake]

Havent messed with the game at all im just having too much fun

[cursive summit]

I have currently the RTX 4060 mobile

It's a decent struggle to properly run the game

A580 huh, yeah I figured as much

[unkempt lake]

Rip

[smoky frigate]

and I kinda believe it, gnome still doesn't have official support for a system tray since they cannot agree on a standard to use. but they maintain an official extension that you can install, at least

[wheat plume]

I love how the comments on every MKBHD video now are just puns about his speeding offences

[cursive summit]

Lana 👏 post 👏

[unkempt lake]

Why do people care so much about that anyways

[cursive summit]

Welcome, lana

[cursive summit]

Doing 120 mph next to a school is something that people should care about

[wheat plume]

cause 95 in a school zone.... and he never apoligies or admitted to doing anything wrong

[smoky frigate]

awesome

[cursive summit]

Was it 95? It was something bullshit next to a school lol

[wheat plume]

95 yeah...

max speed in school zone is 35

[cursive summit]

All for a sponsorship

[unkempt lake]

It wasn't a schoolzone it was some like watch out for kids sign

[ashen spindle]

so the best way is just ignoring his content then

[unkempt lake]

Not a real roadsign anyways

[cursive summit]

Ain't MKBHD just an Apple shill anyways, stop watching his content

Dude's paid

[unkempt lake]

idk i just feel like people are blowing this way out of proportion

[wheat plume]

there was two signs

one was a kid warning and tghe other was a school zone sign

[unkempt lake]

Not what i remember seeing

No schoolzone sign

This is a hey slow down kids playing sign

[wheat plume]

my wifi sucks rn .-.

[unkempt lake]

Which has no legal value

[unkempt lake]

Also idk... road looks clear
Was it stupid yes
But it's kind of a nothingburger imo

not like someone's dead

Or injured

People are acting as if he like ran over someone

Outrage is like... disproportional

[ashen spindle]

well the issue is he clearly knew something was wrong when the speedometer was blurred out at those parts

so it doesnt matter if it was school sign or one that someone put into their area

but the best way as usual is just not giving it more attention and not caring about him

[unkempt lake]

I mean... people have done that on youtube for ages and no one gives a fuck about them

Or the famous "we're in mexico" quote

[ashen spindle]

never seen or heard anything like it so not in the area I watch

[unkempt lake]

It's common on car related channels

People do stupid shit and claim they were "in mexico"

Yet that stays on youtube daily it has for years and years

With no one caring

[ashen spindle]

sounds like people shoudl care then?

[unkempt lake]

Probably

But the same standard should be applied to everyone

Not selectively

[wheat plume]

🤔

wack open headphones

(ignore the quality, my wifi can barely handle 480p rn)

[ashen spindle]

well as this example clearly shows the same standard is applied and nothing bad is coming from it

[smoky frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGGguFuFln4

I love it, it's just a tube with a bolt and a spring

[distant tapir]

Sony made headphones like this a long time ago.

[unkempt lake]

Also like... not considering the amount of people who do or have done dumb shit on the roads and welp no one's seen it so it never gets reported

I mean i can tell you if everything i've done wrong was reported i wouldn't have a licence

[ashen spindle]

I mean there is a difference if you do something while also having responsibility as an influencer and public figure

especially if you can fucking just not include it

[unkempt lake]

Then again i always picked my locations carefully

I kinda live in the middle of nowhere

So that's easy

And the only time i got stopped coulda gotten towed but i ended up just getting a small ticket

[ashen spindle]

are you filming it and then showing it on purpose after knowing what you did

[unkempt lake]

no

[ashen spindle]

well then its not the same already

[unkempt lake]

I'm not stupid enough to post a crime on social media

Or the specifics of a crime

If mkbhd's local police dept want to send him a ticket in the mail they're able to do so

[wheat plume]

[smoky frigate]

I got one invite for a 3 month trial for the kagi search engine left, is anyone interested

[frigid turret]

Bro could someone tell me why my fans at the top aren’t spinning

[wheat plume]

Wat dat?

[ashen spindle]

because fans dont spin if its cold enough?

[frigid turret]

Bro it’s reached 100 degrees Celsius and it hasn’t moved

[ashen spindle]

idk how im supposed to know that im just guessing

not plugged in then maybe

[frigid turret]

How does it have lighting then

[ashen spindle]

different cable?

[frigid turret]

Hmm

Idk that much about building pcs idk how I could change that

[wheat plume]

lighting and power are usually different wires you need to plug in to two different locations

[frigid turret]

Is it easy to fix

[wheat plume]

depends on how its all set up

idk about this stuff though cause my fans dont have RBG xd

[ashen spindle]

yes just check if all cables coming from it are correctly plugged in

[frigid turret]

Alright

[wheat plume]

Is Mutahar becoming an unhinged conspiracy theorist now??

[smoky frigate]

yt recommended me a video of him once that was titled "I'm quitting linux" and it was just this guy waffling for 30 minutes, the point being he wasn't quitting linux

-> "stop recommending videos from this channel"

[distant tapir]

Yep

[frigid turret]

Bro it’s connected

[wheat plume]

I really doubt hes gonna quit Linux, he even runs Linux under Linux in VM's..same for Windows to play games that dont have anticheat support

[noble oxide]

Does anyone think having g sync is worth it for a OLED 360hz? Right now I’m between the msi mag 27qrx and the rog xg27.

[final flame]

depends on the games you play and the hardware you're using

[crimson wigeon]

I heard OLEDs can't do proper VRR or something

[noble oxide]

Mainly fps games like Overwatch and cod, planning on getting a 5090/5080 when they drop and I have a 3070 now 🥺

[smoky frigate]

vrr is still laggier than tearing, but less laggy than vsync

so for comp shooters prolly not the thing you want unless tearing distracts you

[balmy vector]

They can do vrr but it can come with a flicker effect in darker scenes

[noble oxide]

So would getting g sync be a good move? Or is g sync the issue?

Like is it worth an extra $120

[sudden imp]

Surprised prosecutors aren’t going after such an easy case

[smoky frigate]

I wouldn't say so

[balmy vector]

Not a a gsync issue just a overall vrr one, ive used oled vrr my entire time and the dark scene flicker isnt that big of a problem for me personally

[noble oxide]

Forsure, much love all around for all the help!!!! ❤️

[wheat plume]

send me your 3070 plz

I haz gtx 1660 😢

[noble oxide]

I’ll make a note to reach out when the 50s drop 🥺

[smoky frigate]

I think VRR is neat but at 360hz I may as well use v-sync

in fact, I could not tell the difference in a blind test

[ashen spindle]

well its different usecases

if you drop below your screens refresh rate you want gsync since vsync doenst cover that

[unkempt lake]

All depends on the panel honestly

[thick root]

is the attack shark r3 or r2 a good mouse?

[bright briar]

what case you got?

[unkempt lake]

stalker be like, 7800x3d cpu bottleneck

turned off framegen to take this screenshot

the microstuttering is all over the place in prypiat

:(

[rocky forge]

you probably dont have the power plugged in and just the rgb

[marsh pewter]

muta has heavily fallen off

I used to watch the guy too

but he just has some down right horrible takes

plus bad clickbait

[pale sigil]

I've pretty much never watched him except the odd video.

I don't understand the desire to watch someone laugh and rant about a topic

[balmy vector]

I like his creepypasta stuff still

[magic minnow]

I hate his face

[grim spear]

added rgb underglow to my wooting 60he to make the tofu acrylic case shine.

[magic minnow]

Nice that makes it look better

[cosmic thunder]

migu

[latent mural]

hello what is the diffrence of the lg monitor 32gs95ux-b and the 32gs95ue-b

[frigid turret]

Nzxt

[frigid turret]

Maybe idk how to do all that

[analog sinew]

take connector put connector in connector shaped socket

[umbral ermine]

I have a question
I have an order for the 80HE module, so I need to buy myself any tools? (screwdrivers)
I don't have any screw driver myself and its still black friday ish so I wanted to ask or it is included like the case (I also ordered the zinc alloy case)?

any specific I have to get or just Phillips?

thanks

[old marlin]

just get a set 💀

[umbral ermine]

That is why I ask
Is there any set you guys recommended?

[old marlin]

I got a keyboard specific one, I would recommend to not get one of the super cheap ones with dual injected handles like this

they just fall apart

[gusty nexus]

IFixIt maybe 🤷

[old marlin]

unless you buy the big set the ifixit bit choice is a bit weird since it is made for phone repair, quality wise it is fine tho

[umbral ermine]

https://fanttik.com/products/fanttik-e1-max-precision-electric-screwdriver
I'm thinking of this one? any thought?

[old marlin]

I wouldn't get an electric one myself

just more parts that can fail

• torque of it is less controlled than by hand

[umbral ermine]

ahhh true
didn't think that far
thanks for the input

[old marlin]

they have their uses, but for general purposes I would not get one

ratcheting is massive overkill imo just get something with a metal handle ideally

since those basically cannot fail

I got a nanch set and a fixed wera set and both of them are really good

[old marlin]

and the amount of torque you can apply with the thin wera handles is much better than with one of these

yea but they cost quite a bit more

I would recommend the wera kit but their driver selection is quite limited since it is fixed drivers

[smoky frigate]

wera my beloved

[umbral ermine]

holy the more I dig in the more complicated it gets
I just no electric and just a swappable driver with the ph1?

[lofty pivot]

get one of those nanch ones if you want a high quality precision set

https://kbdfans.com/products/nanch-precision-23-in-1-magnetic-screwdriver-tool-kit-set these ones - a whole bunch of stores sell it rebranded (geon, swagkeys etc)

[umbral ermine]

thank you so much for the recommendation
I will check it out

[old marlin]

the rebrands can vary in bit selection

ik geon customized it for his set for example

[magic minnow]

But all the big YouTubers use them!

[analog sinew]

arent they all sponsored by ifixit

[leaden kiln]

I was kind thinking of getting a mako kit
only been using a random mix of different screwdrivers most of my life

[magic minnow]

More than likely

[fickle ore]

xAI picked xeons.. but how many? https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/big-tech/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger-visits-elon-musks-memphis-data-center-touts-xeon-deployment-praises-xai-team-for-building-it-in-such-a-short-amount-of-time

[magic minnow]

I’d love this set; I’ve been using a 15$ I got off of Amazon like 5 years ago lol

[old marlin]

I bought it cause my wera set did not work for my F1 and the cheap set I had didn't fit

korean custom boards sometimes have very deep sitting screws

[ashen spindle]

yeah because CPU’s are needed for interconnection not because they are better

So people just grab the cheaper stuff that works well enough

[fickle ore]

Quick googling puts xeon price at $18k. If we use estimation of 1 cpu per 4 gpu in AI cluster, for Musk's 100k gpu config then thats 25k Xeons. But if he expands it to 200k or 300k gpus thats 50k-75k xeons at 18k/pop yields at max. $1.35B USD, excl. possible scale discounts

[ashen spindle]

Yeah or you take the xeons that people actually buy which are list prices of max 3k lol

And then keep in mind literally nobody pays list price

[old marlin]

yea expect like 25-50% discounts in bulk lol

[fickle ore]

Still good news for Intel 😉

[ashen spindle]

As well as there being plenty 1:8 cpu gpu clusters

Not really because Xeon’s aren’t bringing margins

[fickle ore]

How come if granite rapids are made on Intel 3?

[old marlin]

a CPU paying for producing itself > dead stock

[old marlin]

might have to do with it being heavily tiled

[ashen spindle]

Because xeons are low margin due to node cost+discounts that are needed for people to buy them

[fickle ore]

Havent seen numbers relating to their Xeon GR margins

[ashen spindle]

Also it’s the same for amd, big one off sales are wayyy lower margins vs constant sales to dell

[fickle ore]

Well tbf you could be correct they need to be discounted now to get people to buy them, but you need to realize this could be just forwarding thinking on xAI part due to the incoming trump administration tariffs. How will AMD's competitiveness play out after 35% tariffs vs. intel?

[ashen spindle]

Anyway my sushi is ready, enjoy your dreams

[magic minnow]

Just ordered it

[cold magnet]

I don't think I fully understand something about actuation points. I have it set to 0.4mm, and rapidtrigger etc all turned off.
If I press down a key beyond actuation, I would expect the registration to end once I lift of the trigger at 0.39mm, but it keeps registering the keypress until I fully let go of the key. Shouldnt it stop registering the keypress at 0.4mm?
