You can see their head

#

But is it that clear

#

Then should I just go for the 540hz monitor

#

Tn panel

#

TvT

#

What about 360hz

#

Oled

#

Hmmmm

#

480hz it is then

#

I’m spending a lot on my monitor compared to my pc tho

#

Is that ok?

#

I’ll probably play a few other games but I don’t think I’ll hit 480fps

#

Yeah

#

But I play comp games

#

I’m not exactly on par with the pros

#

But I’d say I’m pretty high ranked

#

So what would you recommend?

#

State my rank?

#

I mean I peaked immo currently asc 2

#

I’m not silver 1 bro

#

TvT

#

On a literal laptop

#

I’ll just go for the 480 then if the difference is that noticeable

#

But let’s say I play another game and have like 100 fps, it obviously won’t utilize the monitor fully but will there be any problems due to less frames?

#

What’s vrr flicker??

steady sail
#

Variable Refresh Rate

hasty surge
#

So if I keep that off then it wont bother me? Since I’ll be getting like 100fps on 480hz monitor

#

Oh so it’s like v sync?

#

I don’t turn that on anyways tho

steady sail
#

U gonna notice it

hasty surge
#

Input lag and drop in performance

hasty surge
#

Ah makes sense now

#

If I turn on vrr?

#

Wait so should I turn it on or off

#

So what if I’m on a 240hz monitor

#

What will happen?

#

If I get 100fps on a 240hz oled

steady sail
hasty surge
#

Hmmmm so won’t that be the same for the 480hz

steady sail
#

Imo just get a 360hz ips panel and enjoy life

hasty surge
#

I witnessed the drastic difference between IPS and oled, IPS looks really bad compared to oled

steady sail
#

Yeah but valorant isnt a game that needs fantastic colours

hasty surge
#

Huh? I don’t get it? If I get 100fps on a 480hz won’t that have a lot of effect on the smoothness like you said for the 240hz monitor

hasty surge
#

It’ll be easier to aim as well

steady sail
#

No xd

hasty surge
#

Really?

#

Since I only used IPS panels all I see is a whitish backlight whenever I play the game

hasty surge
steady sail
#

The monitor brightnes and gamma is waay too up

#

Or the panel is just bad xd

hasty surge
#

So will oled have similar issues?

#

Oled it is

halcyon moss
#

Vrr is way less important on such high refresh rate displays even when turning on vsync.

#

Yup, and there are more slots per second to display a frame

rough osprey
#

i love oled

regal tinsel
devout raptor
#

i also would like q higher hz 1440p monitor

#

current one has been really good so not really a pressing matter

hasty surge
#

4070 ti super vs 7900 gre, im getting them at almost the same price somehow

#

570$

#

And the 7900gre is 500$

#

Hey for my 5080 arriving tomorrow should I upgrade to this PSU? My current is the 2021 model

wheat plume
#

Wtf is this shit???
That name feels like keyword salad

#

They switched to this instead of thermal paste

reef patrol
wheat plume
#

QR codes in the bios to take you to the instructions is cool

fair gull
devout raptor
#

Where do i get a windows key

reef patrol
#

Honeywell is the brand.
The thermal paste is an interface material (Thermal paste is also one such)
And it is phase changing, meaning it goes soft when heated.

#

They have become popular in GPUs as well recently, since it's easier to work with (and more efficient?) than traditional thermal paste in some uses.

unkempt lake
#

Great for stuff you'll never remove the cooler from

devout raptor
#

hell yeah pc build coming together this week I think

#

ssd and ram should be here tomorrow

ashen spindle
#

A genuine „wtf is this“ thought usually means that putting whatever the thing is into google will tell you if it’s word salad or something specific duck_sip

#

And then you see that the Honeywell one in particular is something LTT even sells and that all the words are quite common and used for years

devout raptor
#

do I need to worry about the 9800x3d voltage issues with a b850 mobo?

umbral heron
#

Honeywell salad? blobaww

ashen spindle
#

Just update to the latest bios and you’re fine

reef patrol
#

Yeah definitely update the BIOS asap just in case. Because it's a BIOS misconfiguration that lets them overvolt and burn out. Takes all of five minutes on your first bootup before running any games.

holy shit

#

I Just got a message that the ssd arrived

#

oh boy

#

pc build todaySwitchyPog

old marlin
#

they had issue with heat pumping

devout raptor
#

been like 5 years since I built a pc from scratch

reef patrol
old marlin
#

which caused regular paste to get pushed out between the cooler and the chip

old marlin
#

it's just that it is not affected by heat pumping

reef patrol

Go away pedantic alligator 😄

it's not being pedantic

@digital cliff So, I got the mic and there's only one small problem. The cable that came with it, gave me a static/buzzing problem. Any cables you can recommend for me? I'm in Uusimaa so it should be pretty easy to find a good reliable cable :D

analog sinew
wild coyote
#

Don't have one, it's directly connected to my pc.

#

It's pretty good without an interface dogekek I had to keep plugging and unplugging the cable

#

Fleimi has the same mic as me, highly doubt that they have this problem with their cable

#

Mic came with a usb-c to usb-a

#

It has xlr, but USB-c with USB-a was included only

reef patrol
#

Surely USB is the cleaner signal, cause... it's digital 😄

wild coyote
#

Why do you think I'm asking the person who also has the mic

#

As they had it pretty good, plus the cable is a bit meh quality

reef patrol
#

My point is - If there's a buzzing noise, then either the mic is bad or the interface is bad. The cable can't introduce noise.

as a fellow jg main, thank you for your service

digital cliff
#

USB only being just a bunch of static

#

did you try with another cable yet? I'm using another aliexpress cable with mine, never took the og out of the package

wild coyote
#

No, not atm

#

I do want to see if a store around me would have a ideal cable for it

digital cliff
#

well it's just usb-c

#

try your phone cable before you buy anything

wild coyote
#

If it's cheap and delivery doesn't go too much, I can try getting a new cable from AliExpress

digital cliff
#

yeah

#

if you have a cable that works for your phone, that's all the reassurance you need that cable is fine

wild coyote
#

No lmao

#

I don't use gain, the mic is loud enough

#

Louder than my headset mic xd

digital cliff
#

gain needs to be at max for me and that is not even enough

#

software boosts it another 5dB

wild coyote
#

God dayum, for me it's loud enough :D

wild coyote
#

I don't use any softwares or anythin

digital cliff
#

99% sure it's the mic and you need to RMA it

wild coyote
#

I'll try using my oneplus charging phone cable ))

digital cliff
#

yes

wild coyote
#

After my lovely school P.E class and 40 minutes worth of a transportation trip. I'll give it a go.

digital cliff
#

but yeah for me the gain knob at the back maxed is not loud enough so I have to boost it in software

#

maybe I have an issue as well dogenek

wild coyote
#

You might have an issue, because I've never had that problem. All I know is I never use the software to increase in volumes. I was able to have a really good volume for discord and in game

#

It goes up to 100% like 75% volume on windows and 80% on the knob of the mic

digital cliff
#

did you actually try monitoring yourself on something that shows levels? audacity or obs or so

floral copper
wild coyote
#

On OBS, I had to lower the db so it doesn't go above 0 db dogekek

devout raptor
#

how can this possibly have bad airflow?

floral copper
#

devout raptor
#

huh

floral copper
#

wait, what case sorry

digital cliff
devout raptor
#

the top is just mesh and people said it has bad airflow?

wild coyote
digital cliff
#

that's... maybe possible

floral copper
devout raptor
#

oh lmao

digital cliff
#

I don't think the mic would pull a lot of power but if the cable is dropping voltage, that might explain it

#

it's a thin chinese cable so entirely possible

floral copper
#

what’s the mic level at in windows @wild coyote

umbral heron
#

Dynamic USB mics need around 250mA, any cable will do that hanaconfuse

I dont want my phone to be super thin

There is an optimal thickness for a phone where it‘s comfortable to hold and easy to pocket

Current iphones are very close to that point

#

Maybe a tiny bit too thin

devout raptor

is magsafe actually wireless

since it has magnets

My m9t from 2019 is still being used daily by my sister and what cost like £230

astral haven
pale sigil
#

But it cost £230 vs £1000+

#

Where's the logic there

#

You're paying more for the sake of it

astral haven
#

a 1% improvement is huge when its a 1% improvement in 3000 hours of your life

#

and the expensive phones are alot more than 1% improvement

pale sigil
#

Ehhhh

astral haven
#

and for most folks its more like 6000 hours or 10000 hours since they use their phones for multiple years

pale sigil
#

Another thing is phone batteries just don't last long enough to justify spending a fortune, I see that especially with iPhones.

astral haven
#

almost every phone these days (now that the SE is dead now all the iphones) can last 8 hours of screen on time a day

#

and they can do that for a thousand days before falling below that figure

pale sigil
#

Idk man, most people I've known with iPhone after 2 years are constantly using power banks etc lol

ashen spindle
#

70ti seems the best deal out of your options then

hasty surge
thick elk
#

Basically a mix of weird half rebates on AMD's sides and a general shortage of cards on the market. So prices are not where they should be

given that if you want a card now, the 4070 ti super seems like a decent option.

tldr no downside if you have a lifetime license, upside is users can now use your remote thing without paying a fee

and if the host is unlicensed, a user can purchase a license to use the feature

no change if host is licensed (besides the price increase but that was happening anyways)

Do i trade my mini led neo g9 for an oled neo g9

#

I have an opportunity

#

No extra cost

marsh pewter
#

yeah

#

No extra cost is huge

#

You’ll just lose some brightness most likely, but colors will look pretty

devout raptor

my m.2 is bending from the heatsink wtf

#

Basically my dad wants a neo g9 but he wants the mini led version not the oled and the mini led version ain't made anymore and basically unable to be found anywhere

unkempt lake
#

So he basically told me hey how about you get an oled and i buy your mini led from you

#

Same price as the oled's cost

bright briar

He doesn't game he just works but he wants the mini led

I game and work

I'm just worried about the burn in w oled...

fyi TN cant burn in, its just image retention which can be fixed

if you have epilepsy youll need someone else to fix it for you tho

unkempt lake
#

Was fixable

#

Anyhow guys back to the main question

#

Do i trade my mini led neo g9 for an oled neo g9

#

Considering i work from home 37.5 hours a week and game around 20 hours a week

#

I learned my lesson

#

Lol

#

It was in like 2014 lol

#

Its just burned in my memories

#

badumtshh

astral haven
#

g9 really is a bad contender for most folks, since most use it as dual 27s, and the line between your 2 virtual screens will burn in quick

unkempt lake
#

27 inch zone in the middle and 2 narrower zones on the side

astral haven
#

if you always do, then itll burn in those lines, and as long as you dont mind lines on any full screen content 🤷

unkempt lake
#

Unless someone has a suggestion that'd be an upgrade that'd be good for WFH/Gaming

#

That doesn't burn in

#

Because i literally cannot think of one

are you on the 144 or the 240 rn?

odyssey ark 55 doesnt have the issue, and is the same width as your current (lower res sadly)

#

and you can go a flat 55 inch tv of any variety you want

it might have been fixed, these same pics were already out in the first month of it existing and I dont see any new ones

57 inch is a whole lotta monitor space

same width but double height vs g9 49

unkempt lake

Like... 5120x1440 is already really demandig

astral haven
#

~ same as 4k

#

slightly more if it has wider fov, otherwise similar

unkempt lake
#

Hmmm

astral haven
#

big tv is a common thing to use now for gamin, only reason I havent yet is i want more pixel density, if you are happy with a slight downgrade in density its available to you

#

oh wait you would also be dropping from 240 to 165 on the ark, and 120 for a normal tv

unkempt lake
#

I'll think about it

#

If i did want to keep my neo g9 mini led and give my dad a good suggestion

#

Any recommendations @astral haven

#

Cuz i may just say fuck it and keep things as is

astral haven
#

🤷 what do they want?

unkempt lake
#

49 inch 5120x1440

#

He doesn't game

#

Much

#

Just work

#

He saw how i was setup for wfh and he's like i need this for myself

astral haven
#

I prefer to recommend more standard resolutions tho, if they specifically want the triple windowage, you get more height on your windows with a 5120x2160 or regular tv sized

#

these are the only real wide style alternatives, otherwise its standard 16:9 dudes with even more window management needed

devout raptor
#

this build is going to be incredibly dense

#

the aio barely fits

this is the lowest psu mounting point

From comparing specs the Asus gets quite a bit brighter, supports vesa mounting and has a glossy panel instead of a matte panel like the acer

Oh Amazon said it has matte?

🤔 the new GNOME Music Player is interesting xd

you just drop the music file onto it and it plays the song

wheat plume
#

Nah, its meant to just be used for playing random music files you see in the file manager xd

#

cause before this, it would launch in whatever media player you had set as default and you may not want to open an entire media player to listen to one random file you found

#

FINALLY, GNOME Software 48 finally opens by default if you click a flatpak install link on a website

#

instead of downloading the .flatpakref file and leaving you to figure out wtf to do with it

umbral heron
#

Honest, the more you talk about GNOME, the more I wonder why anybody would want to use it hanaSusSips

oo, I like this Privacy Report thing in Epiphany

GNOME 48 has triple buffering now and Wayland Global Shortcuts

I know ...GNOME takes too much timetoadd shit cause they spend all that time arguing about how to make the setting look in the UI

Oh yay maybe now software will implement the global shortcuts portal...

wheat plume

I hope so, GPU Screen Recorder already does, its super nice

marsh glade

Well, ever since Valve threatened they'll make their own version of Wayland protocols with blackjack and hookers if the voting system stays the way it was and GNOME was blocking it without reason, Wayland development goes so much quicker, who woulda thought HanaNodders

wheat plume
#

SteamOS uses Plasma,why would they care?

crimson wigeon
#

It also defaults to the X11 session still, unless that changed with the recent beta

umbral heron

Gotta update and check Think

And Steam is likely stuck in X11 land for at least 20 more years

umbral heron

Now it's majority vote, not veto

thats just the classic biggest issue with basically any OSS that isnt under some board that makes decisions

just look at c++ or similar how long it takes to do changes because code purists on either side argue without will to compromise lol

Isn’t Steam itself still a 32-bit application on Windows and Linux?

Why yes it is

32 bit???

Only macOS enjoyers get it in 64-bit because Apple forced them

I havent had issues on Wayland using Bazzite

umbral heron

Tomorrow then, sleepy time soon SilvervaleCozy

wheat plume

and Game Mode is already Wayland in SteamOS anyway so games should behave the same too

well, they will feel more stuttery on desktop mode cause Plasma desktop be like that (Same FPS...just feels stuttery)

Does Wootility work on Ungoogled Chromium?

fair gull

you mean just chromium

astral haven
#

ungoogled chromium is a separate distro, google has some compatibility glue for their apps that they upstreamed

#

ungoogled breaks those

fair gull
#

far as i remember chromium had an update years ago at this point to remove all those apis

astral haven
#

I doubt vivaldi would ship them if they werent part of normal chromium

#

but you may be right idk

fair gull

well i specifically said apis cause the extensions dont matter for anything not google

astral haven

still glue shipped with chromium browsers unless degoogled

240hz enough or should I go 480?

Might as well
