[analog sinew]

it isnt a special type of fan

[ocean quiver]

the thing is the CPU fan port are both broken (they dont spin at all)

[analog sinew]

then yeah case header

[ocean quiver]

so its a temporay fix for now until i get new of each

[analog sinew]

i am so confused

[ocean quiver]

since i am planning on building my own pc after building many other pcs for friends and etc

[ocean quiver]

its hard asf to explain

i can try again if you want

[analog sinew]

not really but if you build pcs you should be able to Figure this out 😅

[ocean quiver]

well my gut tells me its fine since it spins its just i aint that much of an expert about it and everything

[analog sinew]

what is broken: your cpu fan or the fan header on the mobo?

what do you have on the cooler now

[ocean quiver]

the fan headers

[ocean quiver]

the cooler is currently conntect to the system fan headers instead of the CPU ones

[analog sinew]

okay yeah then plug into case fan and make a fan curve, thats fine

[ocean quiver]

oh alright

[unkempt lake]

I can bench it on my 7900xtx properly if you want me to and give you proper results with the current version of the game

[cursive summit]

No need

Those results are likely wrong

VRAM usage seems wrong, FPS numbers are just beyond better than expected

The theory is that the IGN guy was not supposed to benchmark those cards (obviously) and he panicked while changing game settings, you are supposed to restart the game to properly apply the settings (recalculate shaders), and the IGN guy likely did not

[unkempt lake]

I wonder if they'll ever fix FSR:DLSS

[cursive summit]

The game was likely in QHD

[unkempt lake]

Because its still broken

To this day

You get better fps at native than when using upscaling

XD

On both nvidia and amd

Only upscaled that works is fsr1.0 and NIS

[unkempt lake]

That'd make sense also IGN reviews games not hardware

Dude may not have even known

[cursive summit]

They tried getting content so I respect the hustle

[latent mural]

how to copy the wooting profile to my wotility app

[ashen spindle]

dont think its ai

same style they did for previous cards

[balmy vector]

Ye im not seeing the ai unless im missing something

Their waifu cards were always silly

[bright briar]

what we think of the new 5000's series gpu?

we like or we hate

[balmy vector]

Ai

[ashen spindle]

we think as always wait for reviews

[balmy vector]

We wait for benchmarks tho

[unkempt lake]

I should have bought the weston cute cat case

[ashen spindle]

without knowing performance we dont know if its good, bad, cheap or whatever

[bright briar]

in the mean time i buy miss f4 skin

[balmy vector]

Miss f4?

[bright briar]

the gyatt

[balmy vector]

Oh marvel rivals

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-yes-smile-glasses-smiling-gif-2265373269127069515

the game with the worst community

since the psylocke skin did so well they really trying to make money with this skin

i did

thats sue storm malice skin

i think its from marvel snap

[balmy vector]

Jeff still the best character

[bright briar]

netease doing the most

[balmy vector]

That new corsair case is neat

Too pricey though

[vapid ruin]

Gyatt

[unkempt lake]

Post context pls

"New corsair case" is pretty vague

Like... which new corsair

[fair gull]

the new one

the one

[unkempt lake]

BUT THERES MORE THAN ONE NEW ONE

[fair gull]

that one dashi

im pointing at it

cant you see

[magic minnow]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/cases/frame-4000d-series-everything-you-need-to-know/

This one maybe?

[unkempt lake]

So its a 4000d refresh

With usb ports moved

[balmy vector]

no no, the 5000t

i was trying to find the name

[vagrant pagoda]

love how the 4000d is a full tower and the 5000t is a midtower

[balmy vector]

yea its funny

[vagrant pagoda]

also corsair is coping all the ali express mini monitors

gonna be 200 bucks i bet

they are all the asus laptop screens

[gusty kiln]

https://www.techpowerup.com/330756/ugreen-shows-500-w-gan-charger-for-up-to-5-laptops-at-once-thunderbolt-5-docking-station-also-present

[balmy vector]

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean its only a single 240w port

then some 100w ports

[balmy vector]

wish corsair made the black cases glass panel clear lol

[vagrant pagoda]

also pretty sure framework is the only 140w+ typec out there and its 180

[gusty kiln]

fucking razer

[halcyon moss]

Rainbow puke

[vagrant pagoda]

bet its 100+ usd

[gusty kiln]

Razer Monitor Stand Chroma
$199.99/ €179.99 MSRP

[vagrant pagoda]

hahahaha

[gusty kiln]

[vagrant pagoda]

why is it cheaper in euro, they are almost equal right now

like 5% off i think

[halcyon moss]

for a $5 plastic stand

[gusty kiln]

https://www.techpowerup.com/330649/cooler-master-unveils-v-series-and-v-lite-series-cpu-air-coolers-resembling-engine-blocks

actually kinda cool

[vapid ruin]

WHY?

[vagrant pagoda]

but will it beat any of the 30 coolers thermalright will release for $30

[balmy vector]

i will admit, this is tempting me

[gusty kiln]

kek prob not

cooler master has been irrelavent for years since the hyper 212

[vagrant pagoda]

yep

thermalright had the right idea

cheap, bulk and good

[cedar fog]

this is so nice

especially the vertical gpu support

[reef patrol]

What about my other PCI cards, Corsair?

CORSAIR?

Bizarre design - Especially considering they own a certain streaming accessories company now.

[small tartan]

do these 2 cables on my fingers go on addr led 2 and 3?

[reef patrol]

Show the ends. What do they say on the side?

[small tartan]

nothing on the sides

both has this end

[reef patrol]

Those look like non addressable LED.

[small tartan]

could you tell me what that means in simple terms

[reef patrol]

That means one of them goes down here, and the other one goes nowhere till you get a splitter cable.

This is the bottom left on the board.

The one with four metal legs, not two, then a missing one and then a final one.

[small tartan]

so there?

[reef patrol]

[small tartan]

they were connected in these before

[reef patrol]

Ah now I see it. Right so... slight change.

The one with the little plastic bits sticking out. Put it on a system fan one

One of those.

[small tartan]

the other still goes where u said first?

or both go on cpu fans

[reef patrol]

The one with the coloured wires? What does it say on the side? I see text.

Pretty sure that one is a USB2

Doesn't matter. These are very flexible.

[vapid ruin]

That's nice, dont think you can fit multiple gpu unless im missing something.

[reef patrol]

Who said anything about multiple GPUs?

[small tartan]

wym

[vapid ruin]

I'm just inferring that there's a nice option for vertical mount for something that can take more than 4 slot.

[small tartan]

it says > 2510 ECI

talking about the cable

if its the colored cable u talking about it isnt plugged in

its hanging

im teying to figure out where to put it

[cedar fog]

i honestly didn't even think of that

i've never bought specific cards tho

[small tartan]

hd audio is bottom left

@reef patrol sorry for pingign but where does the rainbow cable go

i can put it out the back but idk where it plugs and the mannual doesnt say it

[wispy delta]

No offense but those fans look cheap af

[small tartan]

they plolly are tbh

[wide sun]

msi rgb fans

atleast the front ones are

[cursive summit]

Finally, Discord is back up

[small tartan]

this is all ir says in it

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-navi-48-rdna4-gpu-for-radeon-rx-9070-pictured-may-exceed-nvidia-ad103-size

[small tartan]

you got fan recommendations

[cursive summit]

That is a big chonker

[small tartan]

so one of the cha

slots

[small tartan]

right

[vagrant pagoda]

you get more risers

[latent mural]

@nova lichen Hey, I think I found the issue. Just want to say thank you very much for the help and support. The softwares I had installed were seemingly being conflicting to each other causing voltage to keep spiking up and down. This caused system to be "unstable."

I know this sounds kind of strange, but do you know if running 5 cores 5.1 GHz and 5 cores @5.2 GHz with a VCore of 1.395V is OK to run daily for any task?

I would run OCCCT, but the thing is it seems fine already right now to me. Just want to know if the VCore is OK even though it seems a bit high.

[nova lichen]

thats insanely high voltage for a pretty low tier overclock when you already have high idle

[nova lichen]

also do all core locked oc

you will have more consistent performance

specifically in 1% and 0.1% lows

which are far more important than avg fps

[latent mural]

Good voltage for that configuration then? I found 5 cores 5.1 GHz and 5 cores 5.2Ghz for my Mobo to be "stable."

[nova lichen]

if you really want to do an OC i again recommend starting with 1.25v

[latent mural]

Oh okay. I feel like I can do 5.1 GHz but not 5.2 all cores would be "stable."

[nova lichen]

5.1ghz all core is better than 5c 5.2 & 5c 5.0

[ashen spindle]

that very much depends on the game/usecase

[latent mural]

Yeah, but it's probably just my mobo

Not the CPU

[nova lichen]

its not game dependant, focus on 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% lows

[ashen spindle]

it very much is, what if my game is only using 4 cores?

[latent mural]

Wish I can get 5.2 GHz all cores stable. OOF

[nova lichen]

and now you have to properly schedule the other cores at a different clock speed

theres other stuff happening on top of that which i would rather not get into

[latent mural]

I will just go with 5.1 then, tyvm!

I want a new system, GAHHHH

[ashen spindle]

oh I know its not always that simple, but neither is it always true that allcore being the same is always the best

[nova lichen]

10900k has stability issues with 10pcores enabled because intel just threw in 2 additional pcores

[latent mural]

Yeah, that's why I got a bit confuzzled.

[latent mural]

I should have gotten 13900K

Question, for now, should I go for the ultra series or get 14900K if I went INTEL?

So true

[ashen spindle]

core ultra if it has to be intel

[latent mural]

Thanks!

Yeah, I think I will go for the new CPUs by AMD

[ashen spindle]

if its just gaming yeah just go amd

[nova lichen]

if you want to bother for a 4core game and make sure it schedules properly to those 4 cores, sure

[ashen spindle]

if you need stuff like quicksync the intel igpu is still usefull for editing etc.

[nova lichen]

and obs recording with minimal perf impact

[ashen spindle]

who tf records on igpu and not dgpu

[balmy vector]

[latent mural]

Either way thank you guys so much for the info, at least I made some progress

[balmy vector]

Av1

[nova lichen]

quicksync has

1. better h.264 perf than nvidia
2. no additional dgpu load

[latent mural]

Conclusion:

BUY NEW SYSTEM. LOL.

[nova lichen]

i dont have av1

also intel igpu does have av1 but w/e

[balmy vector]

Eat old system to harness its power, upgrade to new system and then eat that to grow even more powerful

[nova lichen]

believe just decode but ive also heard conflicting stuff

[balmy vector]

Pet the frogs to gain their trust

[nova lichen]

in any case intel is one of those things where if you want to take the time to properly configure it you will get better perf than amd, but it takes a lot of time that people simply arent willing to put in
amd is way better in terms of plug & play

[ashen spindle]

nah plenty of cases where exen xoc doesnt beat the 9800x3d in gaming

[nova lichen]

285k is garbage yes

[latent mural]

I was doing literally "crazy" stuff. My motherboard is literally garbage and I was running and changing the CPU core ratios of my CPU consistently thinking I could run it at like 5.3 GHz. (LOL.)

[nova lichen]

such as?

[latent mural]

Should I go for this or is 7800X3D on a sale better deal?

[nova lichen]

also if your comparing 285k xoc then yeah ofc

its a new arch with flopped performance

[latent mural]

Sanks!

[ashen spindle]

baldurs gate, ffxiv, starfield iirc too

[nova lichen]

in what metric

are we talking lows?

[ashen spindle]

anything

[nova lichen]

and how was the intel cpu configured

[latent mural]

Also I am in desperate need to upgrade my keyboard and a new phone. Hopefully I don't become a nuisance using a "child's smartphone" to type on Discord.

[nova lichen]

only comparisons i found dont specifiy mem timings or anything

[ashen spindle]

idk no amount of mem clocks can make up the difference I sometimes see in ffxiv with people who have AiO oc'd their 14900k lmfao

[nova lichen]

yeah ive heard that before

in any case this perf comparison with 5.7 5.0 4.6 14900k (really mid oc and is just glorified locked clocks if anything) & 7200mhz ddr5 (again, tells me nothing good) trades blows with 9800x3d

you can argue specific games, sure, but the main selling point of intel is the fact that you can push 8400+ without issue

[latent mural]

Oh by the way, can I ask you to help me with RAM timings when I get a new custom PC? I am so outdated with RAM as well. Currently using DDR4- B-Die, 3200MhZ CL-14 RAM.

What should I upgrade to for a 9800X3D? (I am guessing 6000MHz DDR5 or higher?)

[nova lichen]

p2p wise and plug and play wise yes it is worse

[nova lichen]

but this is not an xoc by any means

[ashen spindle]

sure but you can do finetine memory on amd too, the number might not be as high or work for benchmarks, but for games gets the same result

[gusty nexus]

16x2 6000MHz cl30 is really good for 7800x3d/9800x3d

[nova lichen]

6000 or 6400

[ashen spindle]

https://old.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/18z4rm9/some_fresh_zen4_ramif_overclock_scaling_data/

[gusty kiln]

6000 for headache free

though g skill have 600CL28-29 now

[latent mural]

Lol

[wispy delta]

Hard to find now adays

[latent mural]

OKIE.

[wispy delta]

It’s sad goated cpu for gaming

[gusty kiln]

5700X3D is still better than most CPU for BG3

[latent mural]

Thank you for your input!

[ashen spindle]

it does depend on the area, but yeah in GNs test scene it does insanely well still

[gusty kiln]

same

getting so much value out of my 5800X3D even though I bought it at launch price

[wispy delta]

Rocking the same thing as well with a 3080

[small tartan]

is the reason why my aio doeant fit because i had an intel cpu and now switched to a ryzen?

[wispy delta]

Ewwww amd gpu

[gusty kiln]

I have 5800X3D + 4070Ti Super

[wispy delta]

😵‍💫😵‍💫

[gusty nexus]

🤔

[gusty kiln]

if it wasn't for idle power, I might have gone RDNA3

[ashen spindle]

probably, different boards even on the same company have different socket sizes

[umbral heron]

They fixed it recently

[gusty kiln]

only for specific monitor setups

[gusty nexus]

It has been fixed for like 3 year

[gusty kiln]

not universal

[latent mural]

I wish I wasn't a NVIDIA GPU "Fanboy"

I once won a free GPU that was I think a sapphire Radeon one long time ago but I sold it for cash, HAHAHA.

Which brands would you recommend for AMD GPUs? Or do you not really care?

[small tartan]

is it possible to change aio socket or should i just buy another one

[gusty kiln]

sapphire, XFX, powercolor

[umbral heron]

Mine setup is unspecific as it goes, and it works here too

[latent mural]

Damn maybe I shouldn't have sold that long time ago, I sold it for like $600 LOOONG time ago. AHAHA.

[gusty nexus]

Sapphire, XFX, Powercolor

[umbral heron]

ASRock is good too, just their RGB software is a pain in the ass

[latent mural]

Ye, somebody mentioned, sanks!

[ashen spindle]

depends on the cooler, you need to check their website or google for the cooler model for infos, but they are also not that powerhungry so an aircooler does just as well

[umbral heron]

To plug in external RGB strip, sure, not to control onboard LEDs unfortunately

[gusty nexus]

Sapphire from what I've understand is the AMD EVGA 😅

[latent mural]

Maybe I will try Sapphire for "nostalgia" reason.

[gusty kiln]

kinda of a meme, sapphire never had CS as good as evga

[latent mural]

Oooh

[gusty nexus]

Yeah I know

[gusty kiln]

they are just high quality cards

looking forward to PNY kingpins

[ashen spindle]

Sapphire do great cards and have the replaceable fans you can easily swap out if ever needed

[latent mural]

Which one better sapphire or xfx or are they same levelish?

[umbral heron]

About the same

XFX is really solid too

[gusty nexus]

Powercolor and Sapphire in my opinion are on the same level, XFX is also very good

[umbral heron]

I had Nvidia once
Never again

[latent mural]

I had a AMD phenom longggg time ago, and I still have this AMD FX 9590 bad boy LOL

I could technically still get cash back from AMD cuz of some strange lawsuit but it's like a measly $30 so I won't bother.

[gusty kiln]

I got $30 from the GTX970 class action

[gusty nexus]

What does CS mean ? 😅

[gusty kiln]

customer support

[latent mural]

I think customer support

[umbral heron]

My good ol' FX-7500 laptop
You could reheat McD on this bad boy when playing Overwatch

[gusty nexus]

That's what I was thinking, thanks you 😅

[gusty kiln]

evga used to replace gpu if you killed it with OC.

[ashen spindle]

the cs isnt as great but the cards performance/repairability/sound is what made it sort of the evga of amd

[vagrant pagoda]

eh not always

[gusty kiln]

on high end cards at least

[vagrant pagoda]

i paid for 2 recores on 280s

[gusty nexus]

They also just like EVGA made some "big" change on GPU from what I've understand

[umbral heron]

Honestly my XTX runs not as hot as I was expecting
Will still get PTM7950 treatment though

[vagrant pagoda]

it was cheaper than a new card though

[gusty kiln]

the GPU market right now is, Media server - Intel, low-mid AMD, High-flagship Nvidia

[balmy vector]

Hey cals, what case do you use for your puter? Im curious

[latent mural]

Anyone here recommend a Lian Li case or should I go for something else? Looking for a computer case. Want either something that is completely "white" or "black" and has a minimalistic appearance/aesthetic.

[latent mural]

Oh wow, I just thought of this as well

Lel, my case rn is horrid

I am using aurora r11

[umbral heron]

Let me find it

[balmy vector]

My current case is the 7000d, absolutely heavy beast

[umbral heron]

Fractal Design so hot right now

[latent mural]

That's a great case I heard

[balmy vector]

Thinking of going that new refresh of the 4000d to reduce the weight

[latent mural]

OOOH, thank you!

[gusty nexus]

https://youtu.be/2RytD3xII-0

[umbral heron]

This one, it was cheap, but it's quite compact, lots of space on the inside and really good airflow https://www.silentiumpc.com/en/product/signum-sg1v-evo-tg-argb/

[gusty kiln]

if the the cooler master master case lets you have a mesh side panel, I would consider it

[balmy vector]

Aah thank yous

[latent mural]

I may go for the Meshify-C by Fractal Design in black unless there is something better by them coming out soon. Is this case great/solid? Looks good.

[deft raptor]

My 7900 gre is quite long gpu card with 320 mm of length

[umbral heron]

Like a glove

[gusty kiln]

if steamOS ever becomes dail-drivable, definitly getting an AMD gpu

[magic minnow]

I use the Lian Li A3 I like it a lot

[umbral heron]

And I might've painted some of the stuff to RAL 1028 to match colors with the Livemixer board

[wispy delta]

HYTE Y60 is a great case with aesthetic to it

[balmy vector]

Matx user

[latent mural]

Oh yeah, I thought about hyte too, might pair well with a wooting 80HE.

This is my current case, 😢

[magic minnow]

Semi smol case

[gusty nexus]

[balmy vector]

The kitties

[latent mural]

Prebuilt. Case is mediocre imo. Eh, I purchased the system before the global pandemic with somewhat of a sale though so I'm not complaining too much. Airflow is not something that's great for this case though. I'll tell you that.

[marsh pewter]

she woot on my ting until I take control

[magic minnow]

I’ll swap to the Terra one day

[cursive summit]

Don't, it's not a good case

[latent mural]

I will have to google this one, thanks for the rec!

[cursive summit]

It looks pretty and that's all it does lol

[gusty kiln]

https://ssupd.co/products/cases-xhuttle

[cursive summit]

The thermals are bad, weird fan whine cause of the grill design

[gusty kiln]

[magic minnow]

[cursive summit]

Ssupd Meshroom is also a cheap-ish ITX case but very good for breathing

Get the PCIe4 version though, the cheaper PCIe3 is more hassle than it's worth (I know, cause I build in it)

[gusty nexus]

Alienware has the worst case/prebuild ever

[latent mural]

lol

I bought it for the GPU, I don't think it was that much of a mistake though, it was quite a learning experience on the software side though. LOL.

[umbral heron]

I kinda like it
It's kinda tacky, but "cool 2010s gamer" vibe

[latent mural]

I would go Corsair normally. Even NZXT.

[latent mural]

Thanks, LOL.

[umbral heron]

I definitely prefer that over "minimalistic 2020s gamer"
I don't mind build being clean and all, but some people take minimalism to absurd lengths

[halcyon moss]

Id take minimalist 2020 gamer over glass windows rainbow puke any day

[nimble arch]

Optimum will just have an empty desk in a few years

[latent mural]

Honestly I am thinking about Hyte. Is Hyte y series considered as a minimal look? Looks aesthetically pleasing and I think it will be lovely to pair it with a Wooting 80HE.

[umbral heron]

Ooo, fancy ones

Honestly, if it does everything you want to do with it and you like it just take it

[latent mural]

Yeah, I can be a minimalist, but I want something that has good airflow, and has the main functions as a case, being black or having a minimalistic look is just a +.

[cursive summit]

Minimalist cases are Fractals I think

They have that homely look

And great airflow

[latent mural]

Thanks, somebody did recommend this earlier.

[cursive summit]

Fractal North is pricy but in the right office it looks incredible

[latent mural]

Hmmm, does it look different in person than in an image? Maybe I'll look it up on YouTube.

[nimble arch]

North XL is great

[cursive summit]

If you want smaller get a Torrent Nano, more plastic but top of the line airflow

[gusty kiln]

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

[cursive summit]

Those are expensive as fuck

[nimble arch]

Although I went white + oak for my desk (years ago) but have the black North XL. I’d like to downsize my desk soon though so will get something that matches my case.

[cursive summit]

Isn't that the one that comes with a PSU?

[umbral heron]

ITX

[cedar fog]

im starting to see the trend

of case makers not wanting to assemble the products

its like ikea furniture '

[nimble arch]

I’d like to try an ITX build so it can seat neatly on top of the desk. Price premium to doing that though.

[umbral heron]

Nah, if I pay for top of the line parts, I want them sitting proudly on the desk, in spacious case
Also easier to clean

[nimble arch]

My tower is on the floor

[latent mural]

I need a new desk too, 😂

Literally using a flip-up dining table. LOL

[nimble arch]

No room to sit up top alongside the C2 42" and my speakers

[umbral heron]

Mine is on the LackRack
Along with server made out of old parts

I kinda want the North XL now

[nimble arch]

It's a lovely case

[latent mural]

Am thinking about buying a good one for $350

Or should I just go secretlabs Magnus Pro XL and deal with the chance of getting smacked by my cousins for owning one?

[umbral heron]

White one with opaque side panel looks really nice

[latent mural]

OMG, they have it in white

WHAT

[umbral heron]

[latent mural]

I'm buying that in white. Although I'd prefer black, I'ma get it in white just in case my cousin decides to want to smack me for owning one. I could then just give it to her. LOL.

[umbral heron]

Is getting 2 more 1080p monitors a good idea?

[latent mural]

Wow, now going for an "all white" setup is really tempting. Might even get a Razer Viper SE in white as well. Do you guys think it's still worth it if I just bought a Viper V3Pro?

[nimble arch]

I had a white G600 once

[cedar fog]

get 4 instead

[nimble arch]

It eventually discolours

Fractal northposting?

[latent mural]

uh... Well, I think that's kind of personal, she's like my older stepsister though even though she's technically a cousin.

[analog sinew]

I want in on it

the fractalposting

maybe i should build the pc soon

the cpu

it's still not shipped lol

[nimble arch]

I should have a picture of my North XL build somewhere

[analog sinew]

bought it 13.12

[unkempt lake]

You already have 2 monitors

[analog sinew]

I havent bought the PSU and system SSD yet, waiting if a deal crops up.

[unkempt lake]

I used to run a 3 monitor setup

[analog sinew]

but I'll buy them soon if nothing changes, weekend ig

Then i switched to super ultrawide

And i never wanna go back to multimonitor

i need some rando cables and dust filters too, trying to find a way to get those without too much shipping costs.

[latent mural]

Be like that one trader on YouTube that ran 5 monitor setup, LOL

[nimble arch]

Gaming

[unkempt lake]

Just buy a super ultrawide

[analog sinew]

one of my work colleagues is collecting monitors lol

[latent mural]

Oh yeah, I want one

[analog sinew]

her workplace has 3+laptop now

it keeps getting more

[latent mural]

Nice!

[analog sinew]

komputor

[unkempt lake]

2 stacked super ultrawides is more better

[analog sinew]

if i get a 5080 FE my build will look just like that :D

[umbral heron]

800€ ultrawide vs 2 more 1080p IPS for 40€

[vagrant pagoda]

only 3 monitors?

smh

[unkempt lake]

I said it was better not that it was economical

:3

[nimble arch]

I've had triples and ultrawides in the past (game support for 21:9/32:9 makes me sad). I like the C2 42" but it's not a monitor so there's trade offs. These new 27" QD-OLEDs will probably be my path back to a proper monitor and a smaller desk setup.

[vagrant pagoda]

the number of games that havent worked on superwide in the last 10 years is like 5 or 6

[unkempt lake]

Game support good nowadays

[umbral heron]

Nah, it'd be pain in the ass, should I want to play a game and have browser opened I'd have to separate it to virtual desktops and everything

[latent mural]

I really want the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 OLED, but by the time I can probably obtain one, something better will come out.

[unkempt lake]

There's been more than that

But

[vagrant pagoda]

like?

[unkempt lake]

Mods are readily available

Just in 2023 i can name you... uh

[analog sinew]

ELDEN RING

[unkempt lake]

Space marine 2
Black myth wukong

[analog sinew]

fromsoft quality software

[latent mural]

omg. I still need to buy this.

[nimble arch]

I had some 5120x1440 G9 models and had faulty panels (thanks Samsung). Same for an AW3423DW as well.

[vagrant pagoda]

i have had triple or more monitors for over a decade

[analog sinew]

wasnt that 2024 both of em

[vagrant pagoda]

sm2 runs fine

[latent mural]

Is the new DLC for elden ring great?

[analog sinew]

should be able to grab it in a sale one of these days for a nice price

[analog sinew]

it's more elden ring. It looks good and plays the same. It didn't really change the game much for me.

[unkempt lake]

Indiana jones was working but i had to fix the cutscenes with a mod for 32:9

[latent mural]

Ohhh. Okie.

[analog sinew]

it'd get the same rating as the base game

[unkempt lake]

Because it zoomed the cutscenes in for some stupid reason

[umbral heron]

elden wing : D

[unkempt lake]

Final fantasy 16

But there was a mod

[vagrant pagoda]

zoomed in cutscene is working game though

[unkempt lake]

Hell no

I'm sorry but this was like

[umbral heron]

16:9 supremacy

[unkempt lake]

Fucked

[nimble arch]

I've been happy on a single display for a while now though, no plans to go back to anything extreme. Either a 27" or 32" OLED monitor will do me just fine. Going to wait for UK pricing on these new 27" models to determine what I do.

[vagrant pagoda]

thats working though the game is playable completly

[unkempt lake]

If i'm watching a character and his whole head is cropped out

[latent mural]

I wanna play Final Fantasy 14 but I wonder if it's too late to kind of play. Also is PVP actually satisfying or should I just go for "Lost Ark?"

[unkempt lake]

In a sjngle player story game

With like 4 hours of cutscenes

I don't deem headless figures playable

Literally the zoom meant i saw headless people talking

But it was a painless mod to fix

[latent mural]

Oop sorry for chatting that in #🔌│tech channel

[unkempt lake]

Worked fine in 21:9 with black bars tho but like I wanted ny shit in 32:9

[umbral heron]

I found FF14 too slow and tedious to play

[unkempt lake]

But hey modders like Lyall https://github.com/Lyall basically release fixes for every new games on launch day

[latent mural]

I barely tried it but this was somewhat my impression as well.

[unkempt lake]

So like haven't had any issues i couldn't easily fix

[latent mural]

Thanks for confirmation.

[vagrant pagoda]

im 45:16 so who knows.

[nimble arch]

FFXIV is great but not for PvP

[umbral heron]

When I saw that I need to "cast" stone throw and I can't move at all for 1.5s while doing so I just went "yeah, hell naw"

[latent mural]

:C

[unkempt lake]

That's called an mmorpg

[latent mural]

Guess it's Lost Ark or some other video game for me then. Meh gotta focus on my studies though.

[umbral heron]

With tedious battle mechanics

Take Tera or GW2, where combat is actually dynamic

[latent mural]

OH snaps... Maybe I should try GW2

I have never tried it, LOL

I did play Tera, was fun, but that's not available now is it?

[umbral heron]

I don't think so

[unkempt lake]

I played GW2 ages ago

[umbral heron]

But GW2 is fun, can recommend

[unkempt lake]

Was fun

I... bought it before it became free to play

I have a physical copy

Lmao

Somewhere

In my closet

[latent mural]

Loool

[latent mural]

Will definitely give it a try when I get a new system. (I think it will be pointless to give it a try on my current system.)

[umbral heron]

Oh no, it'll run on a potato, don't worry

[latent mural]

Ooh, OKIE

[nimble arch]

Still haven't gotten that far into GW2. Played WoW for well over a decade then moved to FFXIV in early 2021. I'll get to it one day

[umbral heron]

Core content is free, expansions are paid
And there's no monthly sub, just buy expansion and that's it

[latent mural]

Is WoW even more entertaining with the new expansions?

[latent mural]

Thanks.

[unkempt lake]

Literally potato old pc can handle it

[nimble arch]

Pretty much all the old MMOs will run on a potato PC

[analog sinew]

athlon :D

[nimble arch]

Depends on what you're after in an MMO. Can't say I was ever a fan of PvP in WoW but the raids and Mythic+ dungeons are still very good. I've got zero interest in the story though, that's been a joke for a while and I doubt they're ever recovering it.

I will say though, I'm super impressed with how Blizzard have modernised the rendering engine. There's no TAA or temporal upscalers but it does run great (macOS version included) and there's even the option for ray traced shadows if playing under DirectX 12 (pretty sure this is the default rendering option for the Windows version).

[latent mural]

Okie, thanks for the response!

[ashen spindle]

to be fair thats only for some casters, melees, tanks, etc. have no cast time at all

[umbral heron]

I wan be heal

[ashen spindle]

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2569453/qa-amd-execs-explain-ces-gpu-snub-future-strategy-and-more.html

gerat bits like this about the 9800x3d

[umbral heron]

Holy shiet

[nimble arch]

[coarse rampart]

does nvidia low latensy really work? i heard it works good with the on+boost setting in fortnite

[ashen spindle]

yes? why would it not work

[latent mural]

I don't play Fortnite, but yes it should work. I just use ON for other games though, not sure about Fortnite. Also I think you should have chatted this in the #🎮│game channel.

[analog sinew]

phew he was not holding back on that one

[unkempt lake]

Did Frank Azor end up paying the 10$ he owed

[hardy idol]

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/123642104

highest score of the night

havent really touched cpu but tickled the gpu a bit with just afterburner

[rough osprey]

getting higher scores is fun

although most stuff you can do there doesnt work in game xd

[severe phoenix]

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

leaving out the time he worked for amd

Jensen worked on the am386

[gusty kiln]

yeah 10 year gap makes it less funny

[vagrant pagoda]

left out that time he worked on graphics for sun

[gusty kiln]

did you see the giga-nas from minisforum?

[vagrant pagoda]

?

[gusty kiln]

https://nascompares.com/2025/01/08/minisforum-n5-pro-nas-revealed/

[vagrant pagoda]

it was posted here

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

i would never buy or recommend a nas withouth standard hardware

[gusty kiln]

it has a pcie slot for a hba

[vagrant pagoda]

and it has 0 reason to not be mini-itx

[gusty kiln]

using mobile chip but yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

there are tons of mobile chip itx boards

[gusty kiln]

they'll prob make the same cpu in itx form factor like they done before

[vagrant pagoda]

could 100% be a 5 bay nas with a 4in1 5.25 u.2 adatper.

[gusty kiln]

shame there aren't many good option for a rackmount storage server

HL15, rosewill one, and silverstone

[vagrant pagoda]

huh

[gusty kiln]

that's it unless you wana get a used supermicro or netapp

[vagrant pagoda]

there are literal 1000s of rackmount cases

[gusty kiln]

for consumer I mean, with hotswap bays and atx PSU

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

[gusty kiln]

not dual redundant tornadoes

[sudden imp]

So I need to work at dennys get hired by nvidia and wear a leather jacket?

[gusty kiln]

well you also need a masters in electrical engineering, but that's the easy part

[vagrant pagoda]

there is basicly an industy standard 4u with atx psu and 9 5.25 on the front

you ewither put in your own hotswap or get one with them

but there are tons of them

[gusty kiln]

hmmm

[vagrant pagoda]

you havent looked if you dont think they exist lol

silverston and roswill make a ton

[gusty kiln]

yeah I mentioned them before

[vagrant pagoda]

and norco and istar basiclky only do them

[gusty kiln]

https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Chassis-Support-Rackmount-RSV-L4412U/dp/B097Y25FGK?th=1

tempted to get this for when I upgrade to a big boy server

[vagrant pagoda]

you doing storage or active used data on the array?

[gusty kiln]

I guess active since self hosting stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

also for home use like 99% of the time you dont want hotswap

drives run cooler withouth the swap

[gusty kiln]

probably won't see that much activity to worry about temps that high

[vagrant pagoda]

running cooler = less fan

less fan less noise

[gusty kiln]

shame hard drive also don't do well when too cold

[vagrant pagoda]

also drives make over half thier heat from just being spun up, so unless youre allowing them to sleep they will be hot

[gusty kiln]

can't shove em in the basement during winter

[gusty kiln]

currently letting my little server spin down, but in the future prob not

[vagrant pagoda]

look at the 14b case hal the price and way more drives

15 drives withouth using the front bays

[gusty kiln]

google gave me nothing

[vagrant pagoda]

literally on the amazon page you linked

[gusty kiln]

ooh

I see

[vagrant pagoda]

also the 15b is the exact same case as the 12hsb

but with fixed 5n3 instead of hotswap 4n3

and saves you 150 bucks\

[gusty kiln]

man backplanes and caddies are expensive

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

4n3 and 5n3 hotswap bays are 50+ a pop

i perfer the 5n3 fixed

then leave the tops empty becase sas breaks out into 4

gives you a ton of airfllow

i have basicly that same case with no name on it

with 12x10tb and 2 gpus for media

and my trusty 4790k

[gusty kiln]

you label the cables with the serial numbers?

[vagrant pagoda]

why

use zfs, cable dosent matter

[gusty kiln]

just in case when 1 fails, ez identifying

[vagrant pagoda]

just sharpie the last of the sn on the drive so its easy to see

also in 20+ years of having home servers ive had like 3 drives die

you dont need uptime at home that bad

extra few min getting the right drive dosent matter

[gusty kiln]

yeah I guess

[vagrant pagoda]

these days i just keep usb3 adatpers around

and just shove one on with the replacemnt disk if i dont want to take anything offline

but it hasnt happened

[gusty kiln]

kek nice

[vagrant pagoda]

i run 2 raidz1's

for spinners

[gusty kiln]

my current mobo has 8 sata ports, gunna be using this whenever AM6 X3D comes out

[vagrant pagoda]

and i have tape packup

yeah

just get a nonhotswap

i would say the 15b is best for that

[gusty kiln]

[vagrant pagoda]

you can take out the last bay and keep the 120

so if you want to throw in a gpu it will get good air

[gusty kiln]

which tape drive do you have?

[vagrant pagoda]

and old hp hacked with newer lto-8 drives

bought it with lto6

got some broken lto8 drives in caddies

and got enough to make them work lol

[gusty kiln]

nice

[vagrant pagoda]

i only have 16 tapes though

it holds i want to say 44

[gusty kiln]

geez

[vagrant pagoda]

no im dumb i have 12 tapes and it holds 48

it has 4 caddies

i have one full

its 12 tapes at 12tb each

not 16 at 16

i only use the bottom left i think as you can swap out tapes from it live

you can open the cover and get to the first two slots

if you pul the mag out it has to read each tape to work again

[gusty kiln]

ew, how slow is that

[vagrant pagoda]

long time

but on both left magfs you get a autoeject slot

you click a button in the web interface and it pops out

i use that for offsite cold

[unkempt lake]

https://videocardz.com/newz/preorders-for-amd-radeon-rx-9070-reportedly-start-on-january-23rd

[vagrant pagoda]

i only backup stuff i cant eaily reauire so its like 4 tb

i rotate between 3 tapes so that there is always the most recest offsite

they just stay in a pelican case in my buddies closet

[gusty kiln]

so far I think like 95% of my data can be reobtained resonably easily

[vagrant pagoda]

same

4 out of ~30tb

[gusty kiln]

the buddie system from HexOS is cool, wonder if other nas OS will copy it

[vagrant pagoda]

i use backblaze too

[gusty kiln]

dashi having a stroke

[severe phoenix]

As usual

[vagrant pagoda]

dashi;s remaning brain cell trying to dodge a clot

[unkempt lake]

what happens if i inject caffeine straight into my bloodstream

[vagrant pagoda]

go from stroke mode to heart attack mode

[unkempt lake]

both at once

awesome

Intel's official reddit support account said intel is investigating the overhead issue but that it's technically not an official statement but that they're aware of the issue

confused noises

[wide sun]

someone forgot to switch accounts before commenting

[astral haven]

Support isn't engineering or PR.
You can think of it like " We have noticed the issue and brought it up to our superiors, but they haven't given us any further instructions yet."

[unkempt lake]

I guess that makes more sense

[wispy delta]

This is dope

[pale sigil]

Would be nice if we actually knew what they were

[unkempt lake]

It's a gpu lootbox

You'll only know when you get it :D

[vagrant pagoda]

we are going to end up pre buying gpus and the drivers only unlock after they have already been sold and shipped lol

[minor latch]

W mouse?

[wide sun]

uh one of your data cables came off

[dawn pecan]

is anyone here good with pcs? i made a pc on partpicker n need final advice before i finalzie the build n buy it

[quaint dew]

send it

[wispy delta]

Send in chat

[quaint dew]

https://dontasktoask.com

im good with lists tho

[dawn pecan]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WBxrGJ

[sudden imp]

Is it just me or does non of the new gpu designs look that great and justify the price markup with it compared to nvidias founders

Looking at the newer ASUS cards and I can tell they’ll be expensive

https://youtu.be/3-s4KrPlIx4?si=NjuCa5c-ZXNuXmdo

[distant tapir]

Founders looks so good this gen

[sudden imp]

Nvidia is really undercutting their board partners

[winter patrol]

looks fine, tho you could go with the 7600x ($199), cheaper ram, gigabyte windforce oc 4070 super ($600), cooler master mwe gold 850 ($90)

[quaint dew]

7700x not great value
dont need an aio
overpriced ram
probably dont need an ssd that fast
overpriced case
mid psu
shit fan

[trim crane]

the only one that is remotely interesting is the FE imo

[crisp granite]

get a 5070 instead lol
don't buy a last gen part for that price
you can get better for the same or slightly less
would get a 7800X3D instead, and a cheaper air cooler, it's not like you're going to be OCing the hell out of it

also yeah
get a BeQuiet Pure Base 500DX
HELLA underrated case

[dawn pecan]

i did someupgrading with a help of a mod n this is the build for now

[crisp granite]

would get a less expensive PSU
as long as it's 80+ gold

cooler master makes some good ones that'll be slightly less expensive

and again
better case

pure base 500DX is a beast of a case

[dawn pecan]

i like the h9 flow because its pitch black, if theres another case thats all dark for a anti rgb build tho, i can check it out

[crisp granite]

it is all dark
and comes with three really solid fans
and costs less

[dawn pecan]

i was planning on either going 0 rgb in the build or js pitch black no rgb but white neon fan cases

ill check it out rn

[crisp granite]

I have one that houses my 2020 build

I went ITX for current build so yeah

but if I didn't go ITX, I'd have kept that

[crisp granite]

it's just insane how good it is

[dawn pecan]

does it glow orange when its on

or is that js how they built it

[crisp granite]

toggleable

there's a button
you can go through a few modes
or
"off"

off is best

[dawn pecan]

uea orange is kinda ugly

how big is it?

[crisp granite]

dimensions are listed on the site

but if you want a useless generalisation
pretty small ATX tower

it sits well on a desk

[dawn pecan]

any other cases

[steady sail]

Its not that big of a case xd

[dawn pecan]

i want a sexy pitch black case

thats why i chose h9 flow but it is overpriced

[unkempt lake]

meshify with smoked glass panel

[dawn pecan]

geeyat $204

doesnt look bad tho i kinda like it

what do you think about the h5 flow?

[unkempt lake]

i have the 2XLbecause uh... reasons but I also have another PC in the 2 compact

2 compact is smol and cute

and has great airflow

if you wanted a little smaller

[dawn pecan]

this is my first build so idek if everything is going to fit or not with a smaller case

[unkempt lake]

well the meshify 2 compact fits a 2080 and a large noctua no problem

[dawn pecan]

im going to be using a 5070 ti if i can snag one

[unkempt lake]

and i could technically even fit my 7900xtx in it

[dawn pecan]

on the 30th

praying

[steady sail]

U know that the 5070’s are starting selling in February

[unkempt lake]

you could buy the meshify 1 compact, it's practically the same but half the price

[dawn pecan]

i heard they were going to be sold on the 30th

[crisp granite]

my Raw S1 could fit a 5090 :3

[dawn pecan]

january

[unkempt lake]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1561251-REG/fractal_design_fd_ca_mesh_c_bko_tg_meshify_c_tempered_glass.html

[unkempt lake]

5090 smol

[magic minnow]

I think that’s the 5090

[steady sail]

The 5080 and the 5090 starts selling this month

[dawn pecan]

oh 😔

is it possible to buy 1 without a bot

[magic minnow]

I hope I can get one I’m genuinely nervous

[dawn pecan]

me too

my dreams will be crushed if i cant get one

😔

[steady sail]

If thats the case just snag a 4090 xd

[dawn pecan]

as much as i like all these other cases ive been eyeing the h9 flow for like

a year now

i js like it a lot so i think ima js get it

i wanted to go no rgb or line it up with white neon fans

[steady sail]

Like im really tempted to get a 4090 as well or just a 4080 for myself

[dawn pecan]

all the ryzen 7 9800x3ds ive seen go on sale for 470 deliver in march :c

[magic minnow]

They’ve been stocking the 9800 really really well

[dawn pecan]

im trying to snag one that will arrive in febuary

9800 + 5070 ti for 1080p gaming

main use roblox

[steady sail]

💀

[magic minnow]

You should be able to, I know I had the 9800x3d ordered and the estimated shipping was Jan21-feb5 but I cancelled it. Wanna see the benchmarks for the 9950x3d

[dawn pecan]

kidding

[steady sail]

U should get a 1440p monitor for that setup tho

[dawn pecan]

partially

[dawn pecan]

planning on it but i alr have two monitors rn but i might sell my 75hz one and use my 165hz one for a second monitor

[crisp granite]

I got a 4080S

[dawn pecan]

and then prob get a 240 hz for a main

[crisp granite]

it's damn good for 5120x1440

even games like STALKER 2

run smooth as silk

[steady sail]

Thats such an ugly monitor resolution

[dawn pecan]

are you playing on a tv?

[crisp granite]

no

it's a 32:9 aspect ratio

[dawn pecan]

imagine fortniet on that

[crisp granite]

"typical" modern monitors are 16:9

[dawn pecan]

thats long

[crisp granite]

it's amazing

[crisp granite]

yep, she girthy

[dawn pecan]

do you have more fov on shooters??

[crisp granite]

yes?

[dawn pecan]

can u see behind urself without needing to like turn ingame

[crisp granite]

no

of course not

there are SLIGHT issues though

gonna find an image to show it

[unkempt lake]

im also team 5120x1440

i converted debdeb to it

xd

the world of big moumounitors

[dawn pecan]

so excited for subnautica 2

[crisp granite]

boom

this game was not made for 32:9 aspect ratio
and looking at the trees and lighthouse
they look so stretched the further to the sides you go
it's a pretty nasty fish eye effect

[dawn pecan]

what game is that

[crisp granite]

complicated story

it's
Fallout New Vegas
with a few mods

[unkempt lake]

fallout

[crisp granite]

one of which that transplants F3 into NV

[magic minnow]

Fallout MidVegas

[crisp granite]

and this was the point lookout

[magic minnow]

[unkempt lake]

excuse me

[crisp granite]

shut the fuck up

you're WRONG

[unkempt lake]

^^

[dawn pecan]

how about

[magic minnow]

Fallout 3 superior

[dawn pecan]

subnautica 2

[unkempt lake]

i say it's time

[dawn pecan]

so excited

[unkempt lake]

for a blood sacrifice

what do you say debdeb

do we sacrifice him

[crisp granite]

...

:c

[unkempt lake]

https://tenor.com/view/ax-gif-21112317

[magic minnow]

Tranquility Lane and Liam Neeson stomp out New Vegas

[crisp granite]

I'm under the impression you don't actually understand what fallout is about
because F3 is great if you have no clue as to what it is

NV is like
the true fallout 3
the spiritual successor to 1 and 2

because we never got van buren

:c

[unkempt lake]

so... do we get to sacrifice him

[crisp granite]

hold your horsies, hun

[misty matrix]

nv mogs

[magic minnow]

I exit vault, find dad, dad says meet him over there, I go, then later on die

[unkempt lake]

awwww

[compact relic]

3 > NV imo

Both are great games though

[magic minnow]

[unkempt lake]

NV better

[crisp granite]

😬

[misty matrix]

[crisp granite]

ok
some people just like slop
I like slop too every now and then as well

slop can be good in limited amounts

[unkempt lake]

at least it's not fallout 4

[crisp granite]

oh god

[unkempt lake]

if one of them says fallout 4

[magic minnow]

The only redeeming thing about New Vegas was the mission “One for My Baby”

[unkempt lake]

... the ONLY redeeming thing?

really?????

[crisp granite]

hun, not a good time to have a moment
they're just
wrong
it's ok

we can play NVMP later, ok?

[misty matrix]

im setting up a cross

[unkempt lake]

yay

[umbral heron]

What the...
I just woke up and that's what I see?

[unkempt lake]

Cals please be the voice of reason

you're reasonable unlike... them

[magic minnow]

If Cals chooses 76

[crisp granite]

if Cals says F76
I say late term abortion

[unkempt lake]

[unkempt lake]

so we do get to do blood sacrifices yay

[compact relic]

3 had a better map than nv and nailed the atmosphere

And 3's dlcs were goated

[umbral heron]

I'm dissapointo
How can anyone even place F3 anywhere even close to FNV

[compact relic]

NV was just boring deserts like every other game and some factions were too ridiculous to be taken seriously

Like the roman larpers

and Luck was so op stat to the point where its basically a 2nd difficulty slider

[umbral heron]

That's the point
Sure, Edward was a larper, but he based his faction on Roman Empire which in the end has survived for hundreds of years, so... quite good choice for an apocalyptic world?

[unkempt lake]

@compact relic @magic minnow

[compact relic]

3 had better companions too

Fawkes, Jericho, sergeant RL3

[crisp granite]

never had access to any

I was a bad girl :>

[compact relic]

NV has Boone

Also Dogmeat > Rex

[crisp granite]

Raul best companion

[unkempt lake]

[halcyon moss]

Wow... Asus has a new router that costs 800 euro.

You can get a whole unify setup with that

[raw zephyr]

but unify is not gaming enough

[pulsar elk]

bro wha

ts is not real

[compact relic]

Can anyone recommend a good quality wireless headset?

mainly for gaming

[digital cliff]

maxwells

[quaint dew]

audeze maxwell for closed back
turtle beach atlas air for open

[compact relic]

okay should've specified something under 200 eur

[digital cliff]

then only the air

stuff you get at that pricepoint is kinda junk considering you want a DAC, a battery, wireless communication, reception dongolo, microphone AND the actual headphones all for that price

so probably not the most amazing thing on any of those counts but will work for games

[halcyon moss]

beyer dynamnic mmx 200 is ~200€

lets just say, i like mine

[livid sage]

guys

[analog sinew]

fortnite

[leaden kiln]

fortnite miku

[slender frigate]

Valorant huehue

[devout raptor]

i dont know which laptop to buy for school

[pulsar elk]

cheap one

[devout raptor]

oh man that helps a lot

[pulsar elk]

cuz u will never game on it

if u want to game use pc(i bought laptop 2-3 years ago regret it ever since)

but i will buy a pc soon hopefully

[devout raptor]

no need to state the obvious

[halcyon moss]

that really depends on what you do at school. sometimes the school also gives some hints

[magic minnow]

The newest Razer blade

With the external gpu

[devout raptor]

nothing demanding

[alpine patio]

I do want a frame work

but they still have a long way to go

[halcyon moss]

Do razer blades still cook themselves into death?

[reef patrol]

Did they ever? The one I had was pretty chill.

[whole axle]

Is it worth? I was thinking of getting this

[gusty nexus]

You can't have a oled 1440p for cheaper so yeah 😅

[whole axle]

Well I’m kind of wondering if I should pay extra to get a little better? If there is around this price. Cuz I know asus and stuff has pixel cleaning (not sure if this does or even if I need it)

[cursive summit]

https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/nintendo-switch-2-design-renders-exclusive/

Apparently based on the actual models that were found on CES and China leaks so, 99.99% the real thing

[lyric hatch]

promising, does help that rachet and clank was particulary bad with FSR 3

[quaint dew]

yes

[gusty nexus]

Look some video on that screen also they're is not really something better for a little bit more, you need to pay quite a lot more to get something better

[quaint dew]

its great

[quaint dew]

its the same panel as 360hz qdoleds but binned lower

and there is cleaning

[whole axle]

So should I just pay $100-200 more for 360hz?

[whole axle]

Yeah I figured

[gusty nexus]

If you have a computer that can handle that maybe

[whole axle]

Yeah I’m gonna be upgrading to the 50 series when it comes out

And I play Val so def

[gusty nexus]

But 1440p 240hz oled is like the sweetspot 😅

It's already so much better than anything else

[whole axle]

Yeah I’m upgrading from a 6 year old 1080p 165hz 😭

[gusty nexus]

No latency/no ghosting

[distant tapir]

I'd go for 360 Hz. Bigger increments are more noticeable

[whole axle]

Then at that point might as well save up like 2-3 more months and get 480 no?

[quaint dew]

whats ur country

if USA 271qpx non e2 is good for 100 more

[raw zephyr]

i got the asus 1440p480 oled, it's a very good monitor, but rather pricy

[fair gull]

so am i missing smth.... why did gigabyte pick this very uh.... questionable name for its ai garbage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeYc0hoZNeA

[whole axle]

Us

[distant tapir]

If you want

165 Hz to 480 should be very noticeable

[whole axle]

Ah then I have a question

2.1 needed for that?

Dsc seems like a total waste on 480

Also is the whole matte vs glossy a real thing?

[distant tapir]

Yes

But it's completely subjective what you prefer

And not every matte implementation is the same etc.

[whole axle]

Well I want what’s better. Plus I always play in the dark so I guess glossy?

[raw zephyr]

why would it be a waste? it's visually lossless

[distant tapir]

Glossy yes

[whole axle]

Which in that case for 480 the only glossy I’ve seen is from dough which are horrible company no?

[distant tapir]

Isn't there a 480 Hz QD-oled?

[whole axle]

Compressed anything is bad I thought? Again not completely sure that’s why I’m asking

[whole axle]

Asus but it’s matte

[distant tapir]

Samsung (QD-oled) does glossy afaik

[whole axle]

That’s all I’ve seen

Oh fr

Lemme check

[lyric hatch]

there's some coming later this year

I believe

but none right now

[whole axle]

Anti glare is matte right?

[distant tapir]

Yes

Anti-reflective is what glossy uses

[whole axle]

Ah okay

[whole axle]

500hz 🙃

[raw zephyr]

sure, "mathematically" it's lossy, but visually you will never be able to tell, i don't understand why people make such a big thing out of this

[whole axle]

So I’m confused by asus

If you can why not do 2.1?

Idk

[whole axle]

Ah gotcha. Yeah I figured

Just wanted to make sure it’ll still perform as well
