[charred nexus]

yes

[reef patrol]

It's a motherboard. It doesn't really matter in of itself. It's your choice of CPU and RAM, which might dictate what motherboard you need. And of course what ports it has.

[ocean jackal]

It’s 32gb ddr5 ram and a Ryzen 9 9900x

[charred nexus]

modern day motherboard, especially when you are not messing with overclocking dont really matter that much

but i do wonder why do you have this high end of a CPU looking at that mb tho

[ocean jackal]

is overclocking when you go into that weird power off screen

[ocean jackal]

budget

[charred nexus]

not really

its part of the process of going into the BIOS

[ocean jackal]

Oh I never use it then

[charred nexus]

but theres more reason to go into the BIOS than OC

[ocean jackal]

Will it effect performance?

[charred nexus]

no

[ocean jackal]

then doesn’t matter to me

thanks I don’t really know too much about motherboards

[charred nexus]

just saying, main different between motherboard is the IO

[ocean jackal]

What’s the IO

[digital cliff]

and m.2 slot count and lane count and wireless connectivity and...

[charred nexus]

how many usb you have at the back ,ethernet port, audio port

[ocean jackal]

Does this motherboard have audio and Ethernet

[charred nexus]

dont PCIe consider one part of the IO of the motherboard tho

as well as sata and all that

[ashen spindle]

just google it and check

you've been asking so many questions that are faster answered by you typing it in google than posting it here the last weeks

[digital cliff]

quingoogle.com

[charred nexus]

i mean im fine answering the above but asking me does it have audio and ethernet is just, uh lazy

[ashen spindle]

yes questions are fine but when its clear no attempt was even made to check it's just annoying

like on discord you can just doubleclick a word, right click, search on google, so much faster and more info than some vague questions etc.

[charred nexus]

or you could ask chatgpt

[ashen spindle]

ehh if you have no clue you wont know when its just making up shit

[charred nexus]

wait youre right

i forgot AI love making shit up

[ashen spindle]

if you use it as a sped up google and check sure, but if googling isnt natural then jsut believing ai is worse lol

[slender scaffold]

anyone know what keyboard is this ?

[digital cliff]

literally impossible to say because we don't see the keyboard

[charred nexus]

meh most of the internet is made up of bullshit and AI these days anyways

[digital cliff]

it's enjoyPBT sushi keycaps

a nondescript case

but who knows what the board is

[slender scaffold]

if i had a better view angle i'd send it but i couldn't get any better

[charred nexus]

all i know its some 64 key layout keyboard

[slender scaffold]

yeah i know that but i think the board is stock beside the keycaps

[digital cliff]

no problem is you're asking the wrong question, the "keyboard" is just the pcb

hmm well yeah it's just a black case so could be anything

can try looking for 65% keyboards

[charred nexus]

"keyboard" is just an obscure word when it comes to the keyboard community

one PCB can be in shit ton of case and technically its still the same "keyboard"

[slender scaffold]

KBDfans Tofu65 is really similar

but not the good one so idk

[charred nexus]

pretty sure it isnt the tofu65 2.0, the tofu65 2.0 have a centered usb connetor

wait no

the v3 is on the left is seems, ok my bad

[halcyon moss]

Keyboard is the whole thing imho
PCb, keycaps, switches, case.. Those are what makes a keyboard

[charred nexus]

well then most keyboard wouldn't even have a name?

[digital cliff]

then if you switch the keycaps it becomes a different keyboard?

[charred nexus]

like does my 461E Wooting 60HE the same keyboard as a tofu60 wooting 60he?

[digital cliff]

like 80HE is no longer an 80HE because it doesn't have the default keycaps

[slender scaffold]

no one ever said that ?

[digital cliff]

drakonen's logic invariably results in this

[halcyon moss]

It is still "a keyboard"

[digital cliff]

I mean, sure

[charred nexus]

but what "keyboard" it is then

[digital cliff]

but when you're asking "what keyboard" there's no other common ground than the pcba

[halcyon moss]

I don't fucking care

[digital cliff]

merri crispmas to you too drako

[halcyon moss]

You're fucking ants at this point

https://tenor.com/view/actually-nerd-fat-bastard-gif-12320222

[digital cliff]

not really, OP wanted to know what keyboard it is

[charred nexus]

yeah, so in that case unless its a pre-built or the owner specifically said what PCB its using we have no idea what it couldve been

[digital cliff]

keycaps and case are irrelevant in that case unless they are asking for the entire configuration

[slim scroll]

he just asked for the keyboard sooo just the name of it at all no?

[charred nexus]

i dont have x-ray eyes or telepathy how would i know tho

[digital cliff]

can't provide it since there's no way to know based on the information provided

[charred nexus]

just from a pic of "a keyboard"

[charred nexus]

exactly, just from the case, layout and keycaps alone theres not enough info

[slim scroll]

Didn't he asked the whole chat and not just you why would you feel the way he only asked you ?

[digital cliff]

nobody else in the chat would know either

[slim scroll]

who knows

[digital cliff]

unless they watched that stream or whatever, I guess that is a possibility

or the person who owns that is here

[charred nexus]

i didnt say it was directed at me and me only, im just telling from what i can tell from that pic they provided

[slim scroll]

don't reply if you don't know then

as simple as that or just leave suggestion lol

it's a small keyboard

[charred nexus]

i did, and i went into another convo about what is a "keyboard"
what? you think im hating on OP?

Something different at least

[ashen spindle]

cant wait to figure out what QA step they skip on that product

[balmy vector]

they forget the glass

[charred nexus]

excuse me, why?

[analog sinew]

the fabric to glass bonding sounds tricky but it's cool if it's good

[charred nexus]

explain why do you need a glass core fabric mouse pad like im five

dont people chose glassmouse pad cuz its fast and smooth and people who like fabric pad cuz how controllable it is and you can press on the pad to slow down?

[fringe flint]

hopefully it doesn't peel over time

[analog sinew]

yea

[fringe flint]

seems like they wanted to combine the consistency of glass, with the comfort of fabric

[charred nexus]

from what i can tell the fabric is wrap around both sides, so i guess it wont

[fringe flint]

I guess we will see with time

[charred nexus]

right, but glass consistency is because you are basically gliding on glass? wont putting a fabric on top ruins the consistency? as you basically would wear down the fabirc overtime

and the comfort in fabric pads comes from not being a slab of hard glass?

im confused

[fringe flint]

Valid point, I'm having trouble finding what and who that mousepad is made for tbh

[charred nexus]

yeah thats what i thought

as a glasspad enjoyer i find this pad very odd

i watched the video i couldnt find anything that would explain why exactly they need this pad

[fringe flint]

Especially when it costs more than a skypad

[charred nexus]

wait it does?

i didnt look at the price

[fringe flint]

it's 129 us

[gusty kiln]

Claims "hard fabric"

Wonder that means

[charred nexus]

remind me how much skypad is, my website in HKD i have no idea what it is in usd

[gusty kiln]

Some kind of cordura off shoot

I'm waiting to a new metal mousepad

[fringe flint]

3.0 was 109 I think

[charred nexus]

ngl im more excited in that rather than the glass core fabric

[charred nexus]

nah i checked, SP-004 is selling at 129USD on amazon

[gusty kiln]

There's a prototype for 40 atm

[charred nexus]

so same price

[fringe flint]

ahh

[charred nexus]

lmao i havent buy any skypad since my Yume 004

[gusty kiln]

https://2dudezgaming.com/

[charred nexus]

so i have no idea

hell yeah thats more like it

[leaden kiln]

it's 119 on wallhack website, after changing to United States region

[charred nexus]

not some fabric gule onto glass slop

[charred nexus]

fr? whys amazon selling at 129 then

[gusty kiln]

Probably shipping

[charred nexus]

oh yeah maybe

[gusty kiln]

I want a 400x500 size

480 is a bit tall for my desk

[leaden kiln]

Idk

[charred nexus]

weird

i still dont get why would anyone need a glass core fabric pad tho

[leaden kiln]

that also says tax included though, which I don't know that fm does

maybe a bit more info

[charred nexus]

yuta is a funny guy

[charred nexus]

what does this even means

[gusty kiln]

Just a pretentious way of saying our pad is balanced

[leaden kiln]

if u think this is pretentious you should see all the old fm marketing material ☠️

[gusty kiln]

They are never not pretentious

[charred nexus]

(didnt most of the stopping power of cloth control pad comes from the softness it has?)

thats like one of the reason why theres different softness for artisans?

[gusty kiln]

It's both surface type and hardness

That determines the feel

[leaden kiln]

that's the case for some pads i believe, surface definitely plays a big part but the base too

[charred nexus]

i do imagine the surface plays a big part

[gusty kiln]

Raiden xsoft is like super fast but let's you squish

[charred nexus]

as im not into control pad i hear some friends that they said they press on the pad to make it more "controllable"

so like to me this hard fabric thing just doesnt make sense to me at least

also i wonder how would the fabric react to humidity

[latent mural]

Qck heavy type behaviour

[gusty kiln]

Gsr with xsoft base for the ultimate mud

[charred nexus]

type shit

Let's fuckin goooooo

[gusty kiln]

Tiny otsu

[charred nexus]

i have all of the pads in this size that i bought from japan

i dont know where i put the rest tho

i only have the otsu and shidenkai in the shelf

the rest is in XL

[leaden kiln]

fm are probably announcing mouse drop tomorrow too hope the colorscheme isnt cancer

And maybe centerpiece in janurary according to their announcement

I really wanna see how centerpiece turns out

[charred nexus]

I hope they fix the pee color before they release colors

[sudden imp]

The pee color is part of the experience

[leaden kiln]

mine has been fine so far
also put grip tape on recently and received my ultrasonic cleaner that I'd been planning for a while

[charred nexus]

i put mine in a us cleaner

the coating started to peal after like 4 washes

im scared as shit

[leaden kiln]

I prefer using grip tape on all the mice I've used but I shouldn't have gotten white

[sly sage]

Did I build it right (German layout )

[charred nexus]

i dont really like grip tape, plus i think the coating gonna come off if i one day decided to peel it off

unlike other mouse which wont be much of a problem

[leaden kiln]

this dude had bad luck with the staining

[charred nexus]

holy shit

[distant tapir]

Maybe the white has just been peeled off?

Wear

[leaden kiln]

the coating stains on ulx pro

[charred nexus]

its black underneath

its basically the black shell with spray paint

[radiant kettle]

yo my wooting 60he that I just bought plays sound instead of my headphones when it is plugged in

[charred nexus]

what

[radiant kettle]

every setting says that I have audio on my headphones though

my keyboard, wooting 60he is playing sound from its speakers instead of my headphones

[charred nexus]

huh????

[radiant kettle]

I know I am confused too

[charred nexus]

when the fuck did wooting 60he have speakers

[radiant kettle]

that is what I am saying brother

but as soon as I unplug it the problem is resolved and it stops playing sound from it

[charred nexus]

i have more questions then answers

i thought i read your message too fast

[radiant kettle]

mmmm nvm actually I think it is playing from my monitor

but for some reason only plays from my monitor when the wooting is plugged in

I tried going into sound settings and disabling the monitor sound but it just played nothing after that

[charred nexus]

checked the sounds settings?

[radiant kettle]

ye

[charred nexus]

this thing?

[radiant kettle]

yes

I went in and disabled everything but my headphone speakers

and it just played no sound

[charred nexus]

huh idk

wait for someone who knows answers

or open a ticket

[radiant kettle]

usually I can fix these things but I am so lost on this one

ty for trying

[charred nexus]

It's out!!

(You can't download and use it)

Q: How do I run this app?
A: This isn’t an application yet; it’s only an engine, an algorithm. Software developers need to implement this algorithm into their emulator. We hope to see Retroarch-type and Retrotink-type implementations in the future.

[ashen spindle]

I dont get it that shadertoydemo of it looks horrific

more distracting than vrr flicker at 5fps

[distant tapir]

Demo looked fine for me

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah not ideal for me at 165Hz

[ashen spindle]

yes it works but its bad lol

[ashen spindle]

I dont think 175hz oled is that much worse than 240hz

[distant tapir]

Can always join the motionclarity Discord and ask Mark himself I'm sure he'd love to answer any question. He has been talkative since joining

[crimson wigeon]

In the shader source you can modify FRAMES_PER_HZ to make it more appropriate for other refresh rates. I still don't like it though on my monitor at least

[ashen spindle]

I just dont think the blur reduction this is supposed to cause even comes close to outweighing the weird crt effect

[pale sigil]

What

[bitter sphinx]

anyone here good with picking PC parts?

[analog sinew]

plenty of people

what do you want to know, just ask

[bitter sphinx]

I have the following specs:

• Core i7 9700K
• 16GB ram 3200mhz
• RTX 2070 Super

I am trying to upgrade, with a 836usd budget

airflow isnt too good in my current case, and i am guessing i may have to upgrade the power supply too, dont know how much that is atm

[analog sinew]

psus are usually in the 100-200$ range

hmm

what games do you want to play, any specifics?

[unkempt lake]

Upgrade the gpu first, 9700k is old but it's still pretty decent

Look into ocing it a bit

[bitter sphinx]

my 9700k is reaching 100% usage while my rtx 2070 super is at 90% in most games

[unkempt lake]

Something's wrong with your shit

XD

[bitter sphinx]

lool

[unkempt lake]

Or you play games that are very light on the cpu

[bitter sphinx]

for this pc, is 2,2k a lot

i can add ddr5 + a motherboard that supports it for 80usd

[unkempt lake]

This pcs not worth it

[bitter sphinx]

idk where to get it from then

in europe

[analog sinew]

buy parts

build yourself

prebuilt always adds a lot of cost and you get the shittiest ram they can find n stuff

[bitter sphinx]

this bad?

[analog sinew]

no kingston is ok

but fyi just 6000mhz without CL is kind of a meaningless kumber

[latent mural]

I broke my pc trying to oc

[fresh sundial]

Tried updating wooting 60he and wouldn’t update did the top and bottom button press but now it’s not turning on at all

Also, the power really shot up? 250W and 300W

[thick elk]

Looking around at prebuilds, I have definitely seen better deals than this. But building yourself allows for more sensible part choices in general.

[cursive summit]

Didn't the 5080 get like 10k cores? The 5070Ti will be within like 7% of performance of the 80 model

I don't imagine the 5070Ti being priced for much less than 800$

[rough osprey]

is 5080 still 400w?

[distant tapir]

5070 Tie chads rise up

[steady sail]

looks like the 5080 and the 5070 Ti gonna go hard xd

[analog sinew]

400w i can live with

5090 will be so expensive anyway itll be 5080 time most likely

[steady sail]

i guess this is the time when the price of the 90 cards gonna see some backlash overall

[cursive summit]

I mean Nvidia has probably realized that the 4070 Ti Super being quite a bit stronger than non-Ti, having 4GBs of extra VRAM and considerably cheaper than the 80 is selling a lot

And I prolly would guess the 60 did not sell as much as they wanted it to sell

[steady sail]

i mean i dont think that nvidia gonna realize it before launch

[cursive summit]

I mean, I think it speaks volumes that even locally 70Ti Super is the most purchased card

4060 non-Ti (the cheap one) after that, and then the 7800XT

People want performance but aren't really willing to pay much so they just pick the best deal for their affordability

70Ti Super is like, expensive but provides most of the performance people need I guess

Tbf it's still ridiculous RTX 4090 sells more than the XTX

[steady sail]

yeah bc overall most of the ppl wants RT performance and nvidia shit

[zenith orbit]

sigma

[cursive summit]

Tbf I find the current market.. exciting

I've lasted 7 years on my current card and it's about time to upgrade around the same price point (300$), and for once it's an actual toss up between 3 companies lol

AMD for raw performance, Nvidia for features and Intel for.. VRAM I guess?

I don't particularly care for Intel's features but they are defo there and a factor for some

[steady sail]

well kinda yeah xd

[cursive summit]

Although tbf I kinda just want to buy the 540 euro GRE lol

I hope AMD gives me the GRE for 400 with RDNA4

[steady sail]

but if the prices of the new gpu's are terrible i just gonna go with previous gen, like 4070 ti super or if im lucky a 4080

or just a 7900xt

[cursive summit]

As much as I want to consider a Ti Super, that shit is priced way off

[steady sail]

or the new 9070 non-xt

[steady sail]

just like every nvidia card

[analog sinew]

meh i dont think so, they are too high on ai copium to ever do that

[cursive summit]

I don't see why I'd buy the Ti Super when its direct competitor the 7900XT is 200 euros cheaper

[steady sail]

i guess the AI ppl gonna buy all the 90 cards

[analog sinew]

if all you need to say is "ai ai ai" to get investor millions yeah

i should make an investor scam too

make a fancy website, grab some cash, release piece of shit that doesnt work, declare bankruptcy and fuck off

[steady sail]

well yeah

or justt somehow crash the AI market

[magic minnow]

5090 is gonna change the market forever

[cursive summit]

Theranos much?

Didn't work out very well for Mrs. Elizabeth

[analog sinew]

eh she got too big

if you fly under the radar enough

i'm sure it is done all the time

[cursive summit]

https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2660734-1-1.html

What the fuck

Why's it... so vertical?

[vapid ruin]

soo big

[vapid ruin]

Most do that, some even buy 2. With 5090 being 32gb of vram it'll do nice to play with model that's like... 7b-60b range. Just need 16 more gb to be able to play 70b at q4 tho.

[cursive summit]

I doubt that's a 5090 though

[vapid ruin]

used 3090 is still great for AI

[cursive summit]

GPUs don't have vertical PCBs from the PCIe connector

This will not fit in any case

Are Nvidia just going to sell you a PCIe extensions and you have to screw that shit in where the AIO sits?

[analog sinew]

is it really sny higher

doesnt it just look that way cause its cut off

pciex16 is about 9 cm long

so this is about 120mm high

which is high but not crazy so?

(4090)

doesnt look much bigger to me?

[cursive summit]

I think the leaker of that PCB is insisting the PCBs are connected together

So it's a dualGPU?

At which point it's very tall

[analog sinew]

that sounds ultra bs

there is no cross connectivity on that pic

are they gonna wire it up or what

its clearly rotated 180 degrees lol

[cursive summit]

Yeah I can't see how the two PCBs combined would work

If the 5090 is so insanely packed with memory and a gigantic core die, how on earth is it going to dissipate the heat properly

They'll be going to a watercooled version as default eventually with such sizes

[analog sinew]

i am not believing that at all.

remember, leakers are dumb enough to risk their Job over internet points

[cursive summit]

And yeah that's a PNY board

Highly likely that's the actual PCB

Someone stitched them together

Very tall, very packed, very.. hot

[analog sinew]

yeah and that looks like a gpu now

[analog sinew]

12vhpwr? 🤢

[cursive summit]

Only a singular one though?

[analog sinew]

one is enough to start a fire

[cursive summit]

Can't be above 600W then

Guessing 500?

[analog sinew]

somewhere in that range ig

[cursive summit]

Damn I can't wait to pay 20 cents per 2 hours of running that GPU

[analog sinew]

dont say it like that 😅

[cursive summit]

Ain't that how electricity works

Prices are 20 cents per kWh rn

[analog sinew]

yes but it hurts my greedy soul

[cursive summit]

Man I love my RX 5700

Efficient card, plenty powerful

[swift solar]

is wooting 60he the best keyboard

[digital cliff]

yes

[swift solar]

yay ok

[cursive summit]

Yes

[old marlin]

The pcie connector here isn't to spec

So that is not a production pcb

[cursive summit]

That's the PCIe 5 connector though

Which is different from the previous ones

[old marlin]

It is missing another tooth in front to guide socketing

[old marlin]

The other image of the pcb has it

[analog sinew]

which one

[cursive summit]

Yours I'm guessing

It is missing the toothie in the front but I don't know if that's a change with the PCIe 5 standard

[analog sinew]

ah

[cursive summit]

I sadly cannot access PCIe 5 specification to figure it out

Well look at that, I found some chinese fella who reuploaded it

[old marlin]

This

this thing here

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah indeed, that little toothie is still a thing with 5.0

Even if it's not production spec, that's still the final layout though, it's unlikely to change much

https://videocardz.com/newz/alleged-galax-geforce-rtx-5080-box-design-has-been-leaked

Also, "New box, new features." except it's mostly the same box, and the same features

Seems like a rehash of the old one and no new features are listed so

I doubt Nvidia wouldn't release something new tech wise

Yeah but, that literally means Nvidia has literally nothing new?

[ashen spindle]

Well there wasn’t much new anyone expected

[cursive summit]

The AI texture compression is something I am expecting

[magic minnow]

If the mad60 didn’t exist bro

[cursive summit]

https://research.nvidia.com/labs/rtr/neural_texture_compression/

Maybe next year, not properly ready to release yet

[ashen spindle]

That doesn’t sound like it would be a hardware or driver feature

[cursive summit]

It's a driver feature

Considering people are already trying to implement it

Tbf AMD has something similar https://gpuopen.com/download/publications/2024_NeuralTextureBCCompression.pdf

Our experiments show that NTBC can achieve
reasonable-quality results with up to about 70% less storage footprint, preserving real-time performance with a
modest computational overhead at the texture loading phase in the graphics pipeline

Texture loading phase is.. software?

So, Nvidia's studio thingy?

[ashen spindle]

How would this be a driver feature when it’s a compression algo that is set in engine?

[cursive summit]

Tbf DLSS is also engine

So it just sounds like a DLSS4 that developers can implement

[reef patrol]

Compressing compressed textures. Thanks AI.

[ashen spindle]

No it just sounds like a new compression algorithm to relate something existing so really not vendor locked or anything but can’t really be used until most people have a card that could support it

[cursive summit]

Tbf it'd free up VRAM space so, it works out

[somber nexus]

hello chat i tried to import optimum's profile but it says its invalid? it was working fine few mins ago before i resetted my windows

[reef patrol]

Using V5 wootility?

[somber nexus]

is that beta or ?

[ashen spindle]

No it would save diskspace not vram space

[somber nexus]

im just using the website rn

[reef patrol]

https://v5.wootility.io/

[cursive summit]

Not both?

[somber nexus]

ooo

fancy

[reef patrol]

Oh they want to implement it as a new compression format?

I thought it was for VRAM

[ashen spindle]

Not based on the parts you linked so idk

[somber nexus]

i like that thanks i didnt knew it was released

[ashen spindle]

Seems literally just like a compression algo that uses gpu

[somber nexus]

so uh do u have the optimum profile cuz it still says invalid

[ashen spindle]

Hence not a feature to advertise when all cards must support it since nobody would make a game using it if only one generation has it since it would be mandatory

[cursive summit]

Tbf all Nvidia cards would support it with questionable performance

Only RDNA3 and up would

[reef patrol]

But would AMD and Intel cards?

[cursive summit]

Idk if Intel has a built in NPU

AMD only got it with RDNA3

Hence why they also test with a 7900XTX

[reef patrol]

Seems like a bit of a two steps backwards kind of situation, if you still need to include "oldschool" textures for compatibility. More useful on a console since the ecosystem is static.

[cursive summit]

Tbf they are saying you can compress textures by like 60% for a 5% degradation in quality

Which sounds like a lot

10% quality loss with about 67% size reduction

[reef patrol]

I can just imagine a new "decompressing, recompressing textures" prompt for opening a new game 😄

[heavy vigil]

Hi guys i just wanted to ask if i change the switches of my 60he+ if they still have the 0.1 Travel

[cursive summit]

Tbf you just then upscale the 10% quality loss

[reef patrol]

Oh sorry. Your GPU does not support NuTex3000, we will now convert everything to your old, petty card

[cursive summit]

And it's "as good as native"

[reef patrol]

Depends on the switch I suppose.

[heavy vigil]

What switch can still have this

Travel

[serene ocean]

[cursive summit]

Actually this is kinda weird

Moreover, for compression with the 1.0 BPPC profile, our implementation uses less than 2 GB of GPU memory, whereas PyTorch requires close to 18 GB, which is infeasible for many GPUs.

If running this would be like 2GBs of memory that's kinda a lot, but tbf I think these run during the "shader compilation" stage

Still, a lot of cards would prolly struggle

[wheat yacht]

Do you monkeys have a desk recommendation

[cursive summit]

Whatever you can afford

[wheat yacht]

There’s so many options but idk what to get

I wanna be able to do notebook work with my two monitors and everything

[cursive summit]

So look for a wider desk

Dunno if you care about it having a motor for switching between standing and seated positions

If you have an ITX rig some desks have a PC carriage under the desk

Depends on your needs

Just don't buy glass lol

[wheat yacht]

Yeah idrc ab that motor stuff

I’m not really looking for a standing one either

A lot of YouTubers really said the glass ones were nice but idk if I trust them lmao

[cursive summit]

So just look for a good normal desk with enough space for at least 3 screens

Do not get glass

[wheat yacht]

Is glass dogshit

[cursive summit]

Yeah, of course

It bends a fuck ton under weight and if it shatters, you have a mess on your hands

No good reason to go with glass over a good wood top

[wheat yacht]

Is there a specific wood type I should be looking over

I heard those fiberwood ones are kinda ass

So I was worried looking at them

[cursive summit]

Whatever floats your boat

[empty wren]

Could possibly use it as mousepad. However, the idea of it breaking is not great.

[cursive summit]

@wheat yachttbf I like L desks

L desks imo are just great for productivity and being a neet at home, can just eat at your desk

[empty wren]

You pile bowls there?

[cursive summit]

No

I just love L desks

You especially want an L desk if you are a graphics artist imo

[empty wren]

Is it an an uppercase L or more of a corner with two edges the same size?

[cursive summit]

Uppercase L?

[empty wren]

Long mainly but short on the corner

[cursive summit]

Yis

[wheat yacht]

Hmmm I was thinking about getting this one ikea desk

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lagkapten-alex-desk-white-s59417619/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&utm_content=free_google_shopping_clicks_Workspaces&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD27g7wOu47vMza3u6tjqLA1zNqDL&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1brJ8PbCigMVh0t_AB3cXQS2EAQYASABEgKmv_D_BwE

[cursive summit]

What I have is something very similar to this, minus the weird little island on the right and mine is inverted so the left side is the shorter one

I love the L shapes

[cursive summit]

Looks fine? I don't like that bar in the middle

[empty wren]

Probably necessary

[wheat yacht]

Yeah idk how annoying that bar is gonna be

Plus everywhere I look shits on the fiber wood material the actual top is made out of so I’m pondering rn

[sly sage]

Im fixing the cables soon but that’s my setup right now please give some tips

[cursive summit]

Cable management doesn't matter

And get a second screen

Plus put your taskbar on the left, wtf are you a Mac user?

[sly sage]

No win 11 home

[cursive summit]

I also use 11 on this PC and it's perfectly normal?

[ashen spindle]

Our compressor can
process a 9-channel, 4k material texture set in 1-15 minutes on an
NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, depending on the desired quality level.
that paper is for compressing really isn't something for real time use but the compression step in engine so saving on disk space etc.

[cursive summit]

I see that working with some games that have a pre-compilation stage and also that use load screens

So Unreal I hardly imagine using that compressor with open-worlds

[ashen spindle]

yeah no unless its for compression upon build time its not something anyone would use based on that so it's just making builds smaller which isnt a feature anyone would advertise on their cards

[cursive summit]

I mean yeah, if texture compression is not a "DLSS4" moment then I kinda doubt they'll have anything new tech wise to show during CES

Maybe just improvements on existing upscale and FG tech but nothing groundbreakingly new

Kinda disappointing though cause didn't DLSS3 launch with RTX 4000

[lyric hatch]

I mean they've only got themselves to compete with really how many new features are competitors coming up with these days

[ashen spindle]

I mean working like that is how intel ended up where they are now

[lyric hatch]

I don't think Jensen is the kind of guy who stops once he's on top like intel did

[cursive summit]

Well has Nvidia ever stopped innovating during his 30+ years of running the company?

Tbf Nvidia has never been as rich as it is now

[frozen ingot]

that's because the more you buy the more you save

[lyric hatch]

Intel has big problems up top with the board of trustees being full of non tech people

Or people who worked in tech but in non-technical roles

3 failed ceos now it ain't looking good

[ashen spindle]

ehh I dont count pat as failed I count pat as someone given an impossible task who got kicked or left for being unable to do it in a timeframe wallstreet wanted

[cursive summit]

Well Pat was an engineer

And he did.. enough during his time probably?

I dunno if that was his initiative, but I like him focusing more on foundries

[reef patrol]

Hrm... Can't re-enable my alarm volume on Android suddenly.

Think changing the slider around fucked something up.

WTF OP

Literally cannot increase it.

[cursive summit]

Restart your device?

[reef patrol]

Been there, done that.

[cursive summit]

I assumed so, you are the last person I'd consider incompetent

[reef patrol]

Tried flipped the slider to off and vibration several times, but I'm still not allowed to increase the alarm volumne when back on ring.

[cursive summit]

Are you on DND mode?

I love that name lol, I keep thinking of Dungeons n/ Dragons

[reef patrol]

That was the ticket. I found that setting just as you said that 😄

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah if you are on DND it just mutes all notis for you

[reef patrol]

I didn't enable it though, so curious how that'd happen 😄

[cursive summit]

Though it could still be borked even if you disable it based on a forum thread

It works fine with DND off?

[reef patrol]

Mhmm

[cursive summit]

Great

[sharp badger]

Sometimes the "schedule" might interfere

[cursive summit]

Yeah if you have a schedule turned on, DND turns on every day during that schedule

Swipe down on your phone, long press DND (for me it just opens sound menu so find DND settings), schedule turn on time should be off

Good for sleeping lol, no interruptions from pings

[digital cliff]

DND mutes alarms? what a fucking brilliant DND that is

i literally use it so that people don't call me in the middle of the night, but alarms go off anyway so I wake up when I need to 🤔

[cursive summit]

Lol yeah Android DND mutes alarms

[digital cliff]

i took a look and it's adjustable in the dnd settings

[cursive summit]

Mhm, I prolly will have to turn that setting off

That's not a setting on my phone

[digital cliff]

sad days

[cursive summit]

Xiaomi problems lol

Sound & vibration > Do Not Disturb > "Do Not Disturb preferences"

DND preferences does not exist on my phone

This is why I hate android skins and wrappers, everyone just does their own weird shit

[digital cliff]

yeah

[cursive summit]

A lot more shit my version

[topaz rapids]

chat is anyone here a monitor expert

[cursive summit]

Just ask, what do you need

[topaz rapids]

im looking at the koorui 24e3 currently but i have a budget of around 200-250, i was just going to ask if anyone had reccomendations that were better than the koorui in that price range :3

[cursive summit]

Hardly, Koorui is a direct manufacturer of panels so they sell at nearly the minimum possible price

[topaz rapids]

mhm mhm

okay fun

[cursive summit]

There's a few others that also make panels as well as sell them to you in a product

I think one was called KTC?

@topaz rapidsJust if you are buying a panel, try not to buy VA

[topaz rapids]

yeah

ive done like a bit of research and the koorui has been the one that looked the most interesting to me

[digital cliff]

rtings.com answers all

[ashen spindle]

check rtings.com or monitors unboxed on youtube

[cursive summit]

Rtings does not have Koorui, there's a lot of youtube videos about them though

Nor do they have KTC it seems

Koorui became popular like 2-3 years back when videos about "monitors that are 2x cheaper than the same tech from other companies" started going semi viral in the PC community

Tbf I bought a Koorui, and it's holding up well, it's a QHD IPS 170Hz iirc

[topaz rapids]

[topaz rapids]

thank you

[cursive summit]

This also gets rated well by Rtings https://www.amazon.de/-/en/HP-OMEN-27q-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B0C4F3YP8F, there's a seller that sells for 220 rn

[topaz rapids]

this one isnt available currently but the first one looks really good

[cursive summit]

Wym isn't available

[topaz rapids]

"No featured offers available"

[cursive summit]

I just said you can pick a buyer from the list in the right

[topaz rapids]

. sorry i didnt see that

[cursive summit]

Featured offers is just amazon's own or companies that buy ad spots

E-joker I've heard of, idk why, quin's german maybe he knows if they are alright

[topaz rapids]

170k ratings and 4.5 stars so i'd assume so

[cursive summit]

Tbf Jolly you could just save up 50 euros and buy a miniled Koorui, they are pretty good

[topaz rapids]

im looking for something closer to my current screen 😭

2550 1440 165hz laptop monitor lmao

probably could have mentioned that earlier ahem ,,

[cursive summit]

Tbf MiniLED VAs are pretty based I think, they'll have better picture quality than IPS and minimal ghosting I think

[distant tapir]

The best new ones have pretty decent response times yes

[cursive summit]

I would buy this rn if I was shopping for a screen https://www.amazon.de/-/en/KOORUI-Gaming-Monitor-Adaptive-Adjustable/dp/B0CHFL258X

It's pretty damn good, good size, good picture, miniled so saturated vibrant colours, pretty fast

HDR1000 too so, it actually does something

[topaz rapids]

Methinks I’ll look into all of them and then decide 😭

[cursive summit]

Just consult rtings and youtube vids, if you are buying budget below 200 it's hard to buy something incredible, they'll be fine though

I'd just buy something actually interesting for 300

Panels last years

[eager aurora]

how do i make a new digital profile? all i have are analog

[crimson wigeon]

Only the first profile is digital. But don't worry, analog profile simply means it can have analog bindings, not that it must have them

[eager aurora]

bro why are profiles so damn complicated in this app

[eager aurora]

doesnt that add input delay

[crimson wigeon]

No

[eager aurora]

oh

how come my rapid trigger only goes to 0.15 ? shouldnt it be 0.1

[analog sinew]

no

[eager aurora]

interesting

i see that i have 4 profiles that are in the active section, im assuming the one i select is the only one that actually influences my keyboard's settings

[analog sinew]

the 4 ones are saved to the board, and one of em is selected

and the top one is loaded on startup

[eager aurora]

[undone sun]

whats a black mousepad on amazon thats good?

[vapid tree]

Depends on the price range and if you want a speed pad or more controlish focused. Generally though aqua control 2 is decent and not too expensive even for the deskmat version, Artisan Hien is a no brainer for any use case imo. If you're in EU maxgaming has the odin gaming andromeda for 16euros atm which is a great balanced mousepad as well

[frail kernel]

It feels like my A key is broken it feels heavier and i can feel the spring go up and down i got it on 0.1 and rapid trigger

[gusty kiln]

Over the last few months it feels like MPC takes forever to start from cold launch, while VLC is way faster

anyone have the same issue or know why?

[reef patrol]

Never had that problem with MPC. You're using an up to date fork?

[gusty kiln]

should be

[reef patrol]

Are you SURE?

What fork are you using? MPC BE has been running perfectly fine here for years.

[gusty kiln]

idk it only happens on first launch or when I don't launch it after a while

if I switch to a different video, it's instant

[fair gull]

just switch to mpv already

[gusty kiln]

well I already have VLC installed, what's MPV got

[fair gull]

its just my new favorite media player. was a heavy mpc user before because vlc always had issues with some formats and often also messed up subtitle/audio track sync

but mpc started having issues so i switched to mpv and dont regret it

[gusty kiln]

[leaden kiln]

I like mpv, pretty keybind heavy, not very much gui
can also change out the interface since there are many custom ones

[fair gull]

for me mpc started stuttering and often crashing when going fullscreen

[gusty kiln]

which version did you install?

[reef patrol]

So you're using software that hasn't received updates in... SEVEN years 😛

[fair gull]

yes true but for me it has all gui controls id want

[gusty kiln]

no this is the other fork from github

[leaden kiln]

yeah I know some people complain about playlist management and such but it was fine for me, I found another ui I like better though

uosc, let's you do more stuff without the keyboard, only started using it since it was a pain to use mpv normally on my steam deck

[fair gull]

also like that mpv works on literally any pc i tried and it works the same

often had issues with previous players and cross os usability varying

[reef patrol]

Ehh... they all work basically the same anyway.

[leaden kiln]

I can definitely recommend mpv, I really like it

[gusty kiln]

so which version is the latest stable

[reef patrol]

I'll stick with MPB BE until it breaks. Hasn't done so in two years 😄

[limpid vine]

Hey guys. I recently purchased Wooting Two HE and I have a couple of issues. Some keys feel loose and unstable. And some keys are weak and I don't feel any feedback from them, as if they have been used for 2 years and have been sitting on this keyboard for a while, which is why the keys are weak and stick a little. Especially the A and Shift keys. The rest of the keyboard seems fine and I want to know what to do in this case. Should I return it for inspection?🫤

[gusty kiln]

I figured this out, I had random/dead apps in my "open with" list and disabling them with an app helped reduced the slow start
@reef patrol @fair gull

[steady sail]

i think he went with the 9900x

[halcyon moss]

Bigger number better

[gusty kiln]

9900X is an odd choice

not the best gaming or the best production cpu

[limpid vine]

and I would like to ask if I can, for example, change the switches in the keyboard to additional ones that came with the keyboard. Does this affect the warranty, etc.? I have already written to support and am waiting for an answer, but I also want to hear from other people

[steady sail]

changing switches doesnt affect warranty

[limpid vine]

thx

[gusty kiln]

literally a feature as they sell switches with different weight

https://wooting.io/our-products?category=Switches

[halcyon moss]

It is significantly cheaper though

[gusty kiln]

yeah 409 on amazon is pretty good

I'm actually temped to get some Lekker V2

[steady sail]

what Hungarian shop is this asshole to put the 9800x3d price at almost a 1000 euro

[gusty kiln]

switch wobble was my only complaint

[halcyon moss]

Idiots who are willing to pay that

[steady sail]

no one bought it

more ppl bought the 9800x3d for 600 euro from Alza

[gusty kiln]

12700K/F for under 200 right now is an insane deal as well

would be a great proxmox server cpu

[rain jewel]

its alot better than before

[autumn summit]

I’m looking for a new gaming monitor for myself, and came across this but was curious if anyone knows any better options for around the same price or lower. My only stipulations are that it must be 165hz+ and 1440p+, preferably g sync. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6575404.p?skuId=6575404&sb_share_source=PDP

[distant tapir]

Same desk I had

[rain jewel]

was it good?

[distant tapir]

Yes quite good. Stable and felt nice. No issues

[rain jewel]

i picked out pretty good for my first time

especially because i coulf only stick to amazon items

[balmy vector]

Which one

[sturdy raven]

That’s not a pad price for that monitor, the open box is even better. Had an older generation of this monitor and had no complaints. If you can save up for an oled, I would highly suggest you go that route.

[autumn summit]

What is the price range for a reliable, and good oled?

[marsh pewter]

corsair h100i

[analog sinew]

i just realised

my cpu still isnt shipped lol

[balmy vector]

time to rage

[analog sinew]

bought 13.12

[analog sinew]

nah it was a preorder after all and christmas n shit

i probably wont even build the pc till i have a new gpu

so its all good

[sturdy raven]

Current market price for 27" 1440p qd-oled is around $500-600

[autumn summit]

Honestly as a 16yo with insurance and gas to pay for along with small bills I can’t really justify a 300-400$ difference for a monitor 😭

[analog sinew]

then dont ^^

[autumn summit]

Is the only big difference the color quality?

brightness? idk i you're comparing the same resolution and refresh rates but there's that as well.

[gritty grove]

Is the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 Black reliable?

Reliable as in it wont break down on me

I want that Honda level of reliability

[reef patrol]

It's an AIO. By definition not reliable.

[unkempt lake]

Why watercool a 9800x3d...

[whole axle]

idk this is my overkill pc

[unkempt lake]

Also overpriced motherboard

[unkempt lake]

Overkill pc but buys a 7900xtx instead of not buying an AIO and buying a reasonable motherboard and getting a better gpu

Its just overkill in the wrong places my friend

[balmy vector]

If you want overkill just do 4090 9800x3d, cut the extra costs on your mobo, psu, and cooler

[unkempt lake]

Literally what i was typing^^^

[gritty grove]

You think the RGB version is overpriced

mann it looks pretty tho o.o

I can save 30 bucks getting no rgb

[whole axle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y3LRJn

here here

what im actually thinking of getting

[gritty grove]

nzxt aio trash

but its pretty

ohh

yeah tahts nice

[whole axle]

aand ofc if there is better

for cheaper lmk ill get it

just best price to performance tbh

[gritty grove]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CMZT91KD

non rgb is cheaper

I am about to get 1 just thinking about if I should just get the rgb version or not

[unkempt lake]

Get an x670e instead of an x870

X670e is better and cheaper

And bios update is easy

An x870 non e is literally a b650e

[whole axle]

i thought x870 was better for performace cuz of the power stages?

[unkempt lake]

Nope

[whole axle]

oh damn

is there a specific one i should get

for the 9800x3d

[unkempt lake]

X670e or x870e
Only difference is the 670 doesn't have a bunch of lanes dedicated to usb c bandwidth which frankly I don't care about, i'd rather have more usb ports or be able to run 4 m.2 at once

So basically x670e if you don't care about having more usb 4.0 crap
X870e if you want usb 4.0

[whole axle]

do i need 4.0?

[unkempt lake]

No

[whole axle]

kk

which mobo

[unkempt lake]

Unless you have some fancy usb storage setup

Externally

[balmy vector]

Store all my favorite snacks

[whole axle]

i mean i really only need 2 gb tbh

lmao

i just didnt know if 4.0 will be better for my mouse and kb and stuff

I run the gaming plus in my build

With a 7800x3d

If it doesn't suit your color style go with the tomahawk

[whole axle]

ye i do blackout

[unkempt lake]

I'll say the gaming plus matches color wise with the xfx merc 7900xtx

[whole axle]

anything else i should change?

[unkempt lake]

I own both same silver color

[whole axle]

oh wait the xfx isnt all black?

[unkempt lake]

It's silver and black

Have you looked at pictures at all?

xD

[whole axle]

should i change the ram, psu, cooler, or ssd

i did breifly LMAO

guess not enough

[unkempt lake]

Those looked fine

[balmy vector]

oh, dashi i recently picked up an 2tb sn850x for 120 usd

[unkempt lake]

@whole axle

I have mine mounted horizontally so i mostly see the silver backplate

If you wanna see the black just mount it vertical

[unkempt lake]

Pog

[whole axle]

i could get the phoenix air hmmm

eh the red doesnt match at all

yeah ill prob vertical mount

do i buy the nzxt one?

[unkempt lake]

Just see what's on sale :P

[gritty grove]

I plan on buying AMDs next gpu

9070xt

but on sale

I just bought a be quiet dark rock elite for my new 5800x3d

I can't put my stock cooler on that so I had to get something reliable and good and comes quick on time the one I was gonna get wouldnt arrive until feb

[undone sun]

Yo
I have some questions about the wooting
Is the wrist pad detachable?
And is there a big difference between the keycaps for 30€ and 10€?

Oh and is the little rag you get for it included?

[reef patrol]

It's... It's a slab of silicone. It isn't attachable.

[undone sun]

Ohhhhh

[unkempt lake]

The pbt keycaps feel better

Worth the upgrade

[undone sun]

Nah because I had one where it was I understood that wrong mb

[marsh glade]

Why are you needlessly pulling politics into a keyboard server

Reject all other loyalties and embrace Wooting.

[latent mural]

Does anyone here know anything about pc building

[marsh glade]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[latent mural]

I mean the point of asking to ask is seeing if there’s even a reason to ask the question in the first place

But anyways my question was if a b550 tomahawk is good enough for a 4060

[umbral heron]

Any motherboard is good for 4060...

[winter patrol]

short answer, yes, cos it has an x16 pcie slot

[latent mural]

I know it fits yeah, mostly just making sure there’s no downsides to having a higher end gpu on a motherboard like that

[winter patrol]

the motherboard is fine

[umbral heron]

Uh... 4060 is not really a higher end GPU... and yeah, even 3XX series motherboards will work with it

[latent mural]

Higher end relative to the motherboard, I’m not great with words

But that’s really helpful, thank you a lot!

[winter patrol]

are you stuck in am4?

[latent mural]

In budgetary terms, yes

[winter patrol]

maybe save up to upgrade to am5 instead of spending the money getting a b550

the 4060 would work even with your current mobo whatever that is

[latent mural]

Would a b650 be ideal

[winter patrol]

for entry level am5 b650 is fine

pair that with a 7600/x and you're good

[latent mural]

I have a 5900x

[winter patrol]

b650 is am5

[latent mural]

Oh am5 is the socket

[winter patrol]

yes, your 5900x is am4

[latent mural]

Yeah so the b550 should be fine in that regard

[winter patrol]

what are you upgrading from?

[latent mural]

Building from scratch

Most of the parts are just the best offers I could find so it’s a bit of a strange build

[winter patrol]

ah well good luck on your build

[latent mural]

Thank you!

[strange smelt]

wootist

[umbral heron]

B650 is great for AM5 overall, not only entry level
For AM5 if you don't need specifically X-chipset features, there's no reason to overpay for it, go with B650
