Free will is an illusion. By the time you think you made a decision, it already happened. Your brain is too fast for you.

Are the poms prelubed i have some replacement springs I need install i mite just put a tiny amount on them

[reef patrol]

All keyboards and switches we sell are prelubed.

[pale sigil]

It also went through multiple versions of what you end up doing before you do it and determined what happened as best.

Free will is indeed a lie

You are looking for wooting uwu

[trim crane]

I'm doing well on 572.16 on my 3080Ti FE card

i think that was the driver version, I do know it was a 572 driver

[raven ether]

hey guys!

just a few question buzzing my mind lately. if you'd like to help out, please don't hesitate to reply.

1. planning on changing my monitor. currently using 24' 144 hz ASUS monitor, thinking of buying either zowie 24' 360 hz TN panel, or 27' 360 HZ (fast) IPS panels. however, ghosting issue is bothering me a bit, I don't know if it's disturbing a lot but you got me. If you have any specific monitor to suggest, please do.

2. planning on buying AMD 9800X3D. my current GPU is RTX 3070. question is; which motherboard would you prefer?

thanks a lot in advance,
have a great day all.

[ashen spindle]

check rtings.com or monitorsunboxed on youtube for monitor suggestions in your price range

[umbral heron]

1. If you have money it'll be always OLED > IPS > VA/TN, so go for IPS
2. B650 or B850, anything else goes

[raven ether]

thanks guys.

@umbral heron any specific models for both monitor and CPU? money is not the biggest issue for me tbh. what I play is CS2 (competitively) and some other FPS games btw

[ashen spindle]

motherboards are simple, you look what has the needed usb ports, pcie slot etc. that you need, then sort by price and get the cheapest unless you want a certain look etc.

[umbral heron]

For CS2 9800X3D will be the best right now
As for monitor - like quin said, RTings or MonitorsUnboxed and compare to what you can get
Just do yourself a favor and don't go for VA/TNs

[dull hollow]

just dont be like @fathom venture who bought a 400hz TN monitor

[raven ether]

Indeed, as you've both said, it feels so odd to waste that much of money for TN panels. however, OLED panels also have ghosting issue right? not as good as TN's as far I as know. I might be wrong, quite new in these topics ^^

[ashen spindle]

no oled doesnt have ghosting its near instant response times for the pixels

[fathom venture]

Yea it’s the same price as the oled 360hz

[dull hollow]

personally i havent had any ghosting issues but im just one count so take that as you will

[fathom venture]

I’m planning to get a new one and sell this to someone since it’s pretty much brand new

[raven ether]

@fathom venture I assume you are using BenQ?

[fathom venture]

Eh oleds have a response time of like 0.03, I myself have one

But I play competitively so I need a smaller monitor

[fathom venture]

Yeah

[raven ether]

tbh, I was thinking of buying 540 Hz HD TN panel (ASUS/BenQ). but I was not sure if my system will be sufficient enough to back up 540 Hz.
RTX 3070, 16GBs ram, 9800X3D

[fathom venture]

3070 with a 9800x3d

[dull hollow]

i mean i bought a 360hz oled when i had a 2070 super

[fathom venture]

lol

[umbral heron]

Just keep in mind that over 240Hz diminishing returns are pretty indistinguishable
So you'll be way better off with nicer 360Hz panel than shitty 540Hz TN

[fathom venture]

I don’t understand what’s going on, the other guy was atleast making sense, 3070 with a 9800x3d is just crazy

I get around 900 fps on valo(all low) and around 600-700 on cs(all low) which is kinda pointless

[dull hollow]

i think my system is a little off balanced

[raven ether]

what specs you've got?

[fathom venture]

You can feel the smoothness btw

[dull hollow]

obviously this means cranking your shit to max settings in val

[fathom venture]

9800x3d
4090
X870e
64 gigs ddr5 6000cl30
4tb crucial t705
Keep in mind I don’t only game so yes

[raven ether]

so you wouldn't suggest 9800 x3d with 3070? why?

[fathom venture]

Everyone is not silver bro😂

[nimble arch]

I'm not good enough at comp games to justify turning the settings down

Max settings PUBG enjoyer

[fathom venture]

You do realize 9800x3d is literally a top of the line cpu and well 3070 on the other hand…

[dull hollow]

youre going to be severely gpu bottlenecked if the game requires intense gpu useage (leaving wasted money on performance on your cpu)

[fathom venture]

Yea I play on all low, need that comp advantage

[umbral heron]

For CPU heavy games, like CS2 or Valorant it's okay
You'll be GPU bottlenecked in other games though

[fathom venture]

Eh no point at the end again, since Idt you need that, so for comp it’s a waste of money as well

[umbral heron]

Buy cheaper CPU now and upgrade later both CPU and GPU
Buy good CPU now and upgrade only GPU down the line
I mean

[fathom venture]

Oh wait he already has the 3070 or is going to buy that?

[ashen spindle]

his plan was to get a 540hz screen then that means you definitely want a 9800x3d and just run settings as low as needed for that to be fine, the 3070 doesnt really stop that from being a decent option

[raven ether]

I already have

[fathom venture]

Oh then ig go for it

[raven ether]

I have shitty CPU, i7 10700K barely touching 300 fps in CS2 lol

[fathom venture]

Yea nah 540hz is a fucking joke shit looks so bad I regret everything

Although mine is 400hz

But still it’s just horrid

[ashen spindle]

higher hz isnt making stuff look bad thats just from the panel being bad lol

[fathom venture]

That’s what I meant, pretty sure he’s getting tn if it’s 540hz

I mean even oled has 480, that’s an obvious take

[dull hollow]

get the new 360hz g9 oled coming soon frfr /s

[nimble arch]

LG's 480Hz seems pretty good from reviews

[fathom venture]

I’m planning to get the msi 360hz qdoled 1440p monitor, it’s the same price as my current monitor

[nimble arch]

I'm intrigued by the 45GX950A-B

[dull hollow]

g9 is a 49 inch ultra wide lol

[fathom venture]

Nvm

[nimble arch]

You don't like it wide?

[fathom venture]

I play val

49 is ridiculous

I wasn’t able to play on a 32inch monitor, there’s no way I’ll play on a 49

[nimble arch]

It's just a really wide 27"

[raven ether]

lol, that's what I am thinking of 27' as well lol

currently playing on 24'

[fathom venture]

Yea, I’m coming from 24 so 27 seems the best

[leaden kiln]

24 foot monitor

[dull hollow]

im getting 500-600fps with a 7700x

[nimble arch]

42" OLED TV, currently

[fathom venture]

lol

[nimble arch]

It's great except the 120Hz

[fathom venture]

On cs? I get that much with my 98x3d tf?

[dull hollow]

val

but i also play max settings cause

thats just a me thing

[fathom venture]

Just to be bronze💔🥀

[dull hollow]

i wish im actually iron 1 /s

serious note, teams feels like we're back in bronze

[umbral heron]

When last time you played val was beta

[fathom venture]

Doesn’t have comp advantage, low settings are just more ideal, some guys have such dogshit pcs that neon walls turns transparent not even joking I have a friend who does that and shit looks like aimbot but he’s again Bronze so….

[fathom venture]

Back in bronze? What? I don’t get it

[livid ore]

How bad of computers do people actually have, I played valorant on a igpu laptop and it got 150 fps

Intel igpu also not radeon*

[dull hollow]

ofc theres no advatange, i just like the look of it more

[ashen spindle]

well thats because gpu isnt the limiting factor in general for most esports games

[fathom venture]

Bro everyone likes the look of it

[raven ether]

any specific suggestions on 27' OLED 360hz monitors?

[fathom venture]

Since its max settings TvT

[grizzled night]

Do the stabiliser come with enuf lube or should I give them a blast while it's stripped down

[livid ore]

I mean you can get similar fps on a 10 year old cpu, maybe not a laptop one

Maybe even higher

[dull hollow]

im using the g60sd

[livid ore]

Just need an actual gpu cuz the older igpus aren’t that good

[fathom venture]

No you won’t bro what are you even saying lol

[livid ore]

My 2600k from 2011 can get 150 fps in valorant lol

It’s not a hard game to run

[fathom venture]

No way

What the fuck

[livid ore]

People just can’t even set up Windows correctly and run some bloated old install

[dull hollow]

im saying they have the skill comparable to a bronze

[grizzled night]

U won't see that tho port will be 2 old

[fathom venture]

Iron bronze silver gold plat all are the same bro that’s why

[fathom venture]

I genuinely don’t understand how? I have a friend who has a i7 7xxx cpu and gets like 30 fps lol

[livid ore]

You’d be getting this kind of fps on it

[livid ore]

Probably no graphics card

[fathom venture]

It’s a laptop

[livid ore]

It’s probably overheating then

[fathom venture]

Idk but that’s insane wtf

[ashen spindle]

laptop also has lpddr ram which is going to make it much worse vs desktops

[grizzled night]

Max output of display port 1.4 is 4k 120hz

[livid ore]

Laptops sometimes get worse performance over time cuz the thermal paste dries up

[fathom venture]

He’s on a laptop as well btw(goose)

[livid ore]

I mean I doubt a 7 gen intel laptop is worse than a 2nd gen i7 desktop

But it’s probably overheating and the thermal paste has dried up

[ashen spindle]

it could be because the cores could just be power starved and latency limited or just be badly named and not comparable cpus

[livid ore]

Ye could be any of those

[grizzled night]

What cable do these 340hz use then hdmi 2.0

[dull hollow]

im using dp2.1

[grizzled night]

What gpu

4090 is dp 1.4

[dull hollow]

i dont think hdmi 2.0 carries enough data for it

[dull hollow]

9070xt

[ashen spindle]

no it can go higher on 1.4

1.4 can do up to like 4k 300 or somewhere there

[dull hollow]

my gigabyte aorus 9070xt

[grizzled night]

What fps u get on 4k tho

[fathom venture]

Depends on games bro wym TvT

[dull hollow]

im not playing 4k lol

[balmy vector]

8k obvs

[dull hollow]

in fact, i dont even have a 4k display anywhere

[fathom venture]

Amd can’t even try😏

[dull hollow]

tell that to nvidia when they said 5070 has = performance to the 4090

[fathom venture]

I’m just rage baiting dawg

[dull hollow]

instalock reyna going 6-13 14🔥

[fathom venture]

Instalock jett 🔥

[grizzled night]

Tbf I seen a 5090 do 8k on ltt looked awful frame gen only works well if u have high frames 2 start with

[fathom venture]

(I won that fr)

[dull hollow]

well yeah.. you want at least 60fps to start framegen

cause youre using ai to conjour frames

[grizzled night]

Well looking forward 2 tempest rising reminds me of the old cnc days

[dull hollow]

wheres the 4th kill

🤨

[fathom venture]

We don’t talk about it

I won that round

Trust

[dull hollow]

mhmmm

[raven ether]

@fathom venture btw, why you didn't like the 540 Hz experience?

[dull hollow]

he doesnt have a 540, he has 400

the monitor is just bad

[raven ether]

oh
he said this; "Yea nah 540hz is a fucking joke shit looks so bad I regret everything"
so I thought he experienced it once

[dull hollow]

look at the message under lol

[raven ether]

I know, but how would he know if he didn't experience it lol?

just a wise guess?

[dull hollow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen spindle]

he was talking about the experience of a monitor with high refresh rate but bad panel so it wasnt looking great even if hz was high

[raven ether]

I see

thanks btw for the great infos guys

[nimble arch]

1 but it's large

[wheat plume]

16:10 is best ratio

Unless you mostly watch video

[fathom venture]

Eh one 540hz isn’t significantly better it’s just placebo, it’s a tad bit smoother compared to 360 and well I have a 400hz tn panel and everything just looks horrid.
Well one of my friend did go from 240 to 540 and said that the difference is not worth it, he is immo2 last act and plays competitively and that’s one of the reasons why I got the 400hz panel since I already spent a lot on an oled panel and couldn’t spend more on a 540hz monitor and I genuinely think it’s just a tad bit smoother but that’s all really

[astral haven]

"Placebo" and "tad bit smoother" are mutually exclusive

[balmy vector]

Be @umbral heron thats what

[fathom venture]

What I meant was, the fact that players think it makes you better is just placebo, but it doesn’t feel like my gameplay just changed all of a sudden, but it’s not significantly better

[astral haven]

If it has an effect its not placebo

[fathom venture]

It just feels a little smooth(who knows that could be placebo as well since I did hear that somewhere)

[astral haven]

Placebo can have a huge effect or small effect

[balmy vector]

Btw i did snag that quest 3

400 usd babyyy

[umbral heron]

[astral haven]

And it is a fact that it is smoother, it just might or might not be something you can conciously perceive

[compact relic]

8 but side screens are smaller

[fathom venture]

That’s the point tho, that might totally be placebo as well, I’m not really a monitor guy tho so idrk

[dull hollow]

4 but the other way around

[astral haven]

This is proof that science communication is failing
An objective measure cannot be placebo

[leaden kiln]

niice

hope you enjoy it

[fathom venture]

“Science communication” ok bro I’m sorry

[astral haven]

All good just skip using the words you don't understand

[fathom venture]

No I do understand what you mean but in reality I wouldn’t be able to understand the 0.1ms delay being a human and that’s why I said “placebo” but all good

And this is just an example btw

[astral haven]

Its not .1ms, and humans can perceive .1ms variations depending on how it is presented

[unkempt lake]

32:9 best ratio

[unkempt lake]

probably the most appealing vr headset but... it needs a fucking facebook acc

[ashen spindle]

its only needed a meta account and not a facebook account for ages at this point

[unkempt lake]

Well I don't feel like giving meta my info

And they ban people who make fake accounts

I never gave them my info and never will

[distant tapir]

1

[ashen spindle]

no they dont ban people making fake accounts

[distant tapir]

They keep banning me when I make new accounts because they think I'm fake despite using my real full name and information. Guess I can just never have Facebook. I have tried appealing but they deny it

[ashen spindle]

there is no facebook account connected to it so there isnt anything they would have that needs real data so you can just make a throwaway account like for most services

[unkempt lake]

I know someone thay got banned

Bullshit

[distant tapir]

I made an alt account as a teen and it was banned for using a fake name

So I can confirm

[ashen spindle]

okay and my quest account literally is called Quest Test as his "name"

[umbral heron]

I used fake account for 5 years while on uni, because I didn't feel like giving them my real data

[ashen spindle]

was that before they split it up and not needing to be tied to a facebook account?

[distant tapir]

It was in 2016 or 2017. Don't remember when they did that as I never was very active on Facebook

[ashen spindle]

okay so completely different because we talked about making a meta account, not a facebook account, for the quest

[astral haven]

If it was back then, it should have been an oculus account not facebook

[ashen spindle]

same for this, if it was for fake name it was probably when it was a facebook account

also rip looked at bigscreen and seeing they use base stations for tracking, guess its waiting for another good headset for me

holy moly
170 for 1440p240 for the moment!

[jaunty rose]

Dang, I payed $300 for 1080p 240

[ashen spindle]

I just can’t Listen to the noise of the stations lol

[leaden kiln]

yeah the whine from them is pretty annoying, I always wear iems when I play so it's not super noticable though, and I put them to sleep right after I stop playing
some people leave them running all the time though, I'd imagine that's quite unpleasant

[distant tapir]

I overpaid insanely on a 165 Hz 1440p display in 2019 or so. No idea why it was so expensive. I think I just bought someone I really really shouldn't have bought

Still bitter about that waste of money

[unkempt lake]

Its nice, i got a 27inch 1440p 165hz for cheap a few months ago

225cad

[jaunty rose]

I wouldnt say Ive wasted money but in the long run I’ve realized I could run most graphically intensive titles, my original idea was to play more competitive games on pc so I went with a zowie TN

And then play the newer titles on ps5

[unkempt lake]

none of you wasted money tbh

you had the monitors for a while

And extra time to enjoy them

And the monitors still look just as good as the day you got em

[distant tapir]

I sold it within a year to upgrade to 4k

I spent $900 on XG270QG (27 inch 1440p 165 Hz IPS)
Giant waste of money

[jaunty rose]

Tbh my only upgrade path I see is 1440p oled but that’d have to go along with a new gpu, gonna enjoy what I have now for good while before doing anything

Only thing Im thinking about doin with my pc is maybe a case swap

[unkempt lake]

i thought you had a crt

[distant tapir]

Yes. The 1440p and 4k monitor stuff was years ago

The 4k monitor was almost the same price as the 1440p one

[raven ether]

million dollar question; almost just a cs2 and cod player, should I go for 24' 360 Hz TN panel, or 27' 360 Hz OLED?

[ashen spindle]

oled

[raven ether]

have you played with 24' before competitively?

[marsh pewter]

TN is hot garbage

go for oled

[ashen spindle]

oled just is a better image and also faster image so visually like a 480tn would be roughly

[raven ether]

do you guys have any specific monitor to suggest? I've been surfing around RTINGS and their most recommended is MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, but idk tbh

[ashen spindle]

they are some of the best places for monitor tests so generally what they recommend is the way to go

couldnt do more than take a look at the categories there and find one either

[raven ether]

aight 27' is the call then right

[vagrant reef]

27" is the perfect size imo

360hz might be a tad overkill, but I guess you're future proofing a bit

[raven ether]

yeah that's the plan tbh.
also planning to upgrade my CPU to 9800 x3d too, as well as my MOBO

I really don't wanna waste my money on a TN panel but haven't tried 27' monitors or OLED panels before in my life actually. that was the main concern of mine, if I would get used to it or if I was gonna be able to play proper FPS games

[steady sail]

i mean 27" is feels very nice for 1440p

[dull hollow]

IMO i feel like 24 inch monitors are a bit small

32 is too big

[ashen spindle]

all depends how far away you sit from them

[dull hollow]

yeah that too

im am arm length away from my monitor so :p

[vagrant reef]

I got a monitor arm so I'm close and far, 27 feels right

[dull hollow]

the closest my monitor would get would be is maybe like 480mm

[raven ether]

alright, 27' is to go absolutely, let's give it a shot. I wonder how it will look while watching videos/movies/races/matches etc, assuming I've been using shit TN panels so far lol

I've got two questions;
alienware 27' (specifically Alienware AW2725DF) has some listed cons on RTINGS
1; Limited to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth -- what are my cons here with no DP input?
2; Noticeable VRR flicker with changing frame rates. -- I've heard this before, some people say there's a tiny bit of noise behind the monitor, have you experienced this before? same issue on MSI

[ashen spindle]

wym no dp input, do you not have any dp ports working on your gpu?

[raven ether]

yeah I do actually

[ashen spindle]

problem solved

[raven ether]

but I was not sure if I'd lose data while converting HDMI to DP

which would have effect overall

[ashen spindle]

just use dp port on your card to the dp port on the monitor

[vagrant reef]

All modern monitors have DP input

[raven ether]

ah thought this has no DP input

"limited to HDMI 2.0 bw"

[vagrant reef]

Yeah it's saying it's not hdmi 2.1

[ashen spindle]

yeah on the hdmi port its limited, the dp ports are fine

[raven ether]

my bad

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-steve-carell-the-office-cringe-gif-17778800

[vagrant reef]

No biggie

[somber coral]

can i delete this or nah

[reef patrol]

If you're 100% sure you don't need anything from your old Windows install? Yes.

Run this and check delete old windows installs. Much easier than fiddling with folder ownership.

[raven ether]

I've been looking at monitor options rather than the Alienware 27' due to the flickering but.. is this the main issue with OLED panels? many good options are flickering

[ashen spindle]

its only when using VRR

thats why its called VRR flicker

[dull hollow]

i always have vrr off anyways

[ashen spindle]

and generally more an issue at big fps change or low fps in darker areas

[raven ether]

what is VRR in a short summary if you wish?

[ashen spindle]

prevents screen tearing if your fps dont align with your monitors hz

without the issue of latency increasing when you only use vsync

[rough osprey]

Very Random Reindeer

[dull hollow]

@balmy vector

[raven ether]

so basically I almost have to turn the VRR off, it looks like a common downside of OLED panels I assume

[ashen spindle]

no only if you notice it and it bothers you more than having it on

and its not on by default anyway

also if you get high enough fps and they dont fluctuate it wont happen

[raven ether]

ah got it now, then it won't be a big of an issue while playing CS2/Valorant/Overwatch type of games

I've seen some topics that some users see the flickering on their discord, or dark mode youtube overlays, how so?

[dull hollow]

i have discord overlays disabled so idk

as for youtube overlay...? whats that

[ashen spindle]

then they likely have VRR enabled on windowed apps or similar

[raven ether]

I mean the dark mode feature in Youtube

[dull hollow]

i dont notice it as i watch in full-screen

but thats just me, one count

your eyes are different than mine

[ashen spindle]

I noticed vrr flickering on low fps games in dark areas but never on any overlay or discord

[raven ether]

so, if I turn off the Vsync, does it limit my hz on the monitor?

[ashen spindle]

in cs you want vsync+vrr+reflex for lowest latency

not just cs, as a general rule

and if you play a game thats lower in framerate or causes flickering you just disable vrr and keep the other settings

[raven ether]

appreciated a lot

[floral copper]

vsync on? 🤯

[ashen spindle]

yeah valve even had (has?) a popup for a while that said thats how you get lowest latency and people just ignore it and listen to decade old advise that isnt accurate anymore

[floral copper]

I still don’t fully understand how that tech works, I was under the impression you need to use gsync with it in order to have good results, but I also thought it was only recommended as a way to remove screen tearing, and was always detrimental to latency

is that still somewhat true? is it more to do with the frames being pushed

I imagine it varies depending on the frames

[dull hollow]

vsync feels horrible to play with imo\

[ashen spindle]

if you want to understand it https://wiki.special-k.info/Presentation_Model

[floral copper]

that was my experience very long ago when I tried to make it work

[rough osprey]

lowest latency for vrr or?

[ashen spindle]

it depends on what windows you use, what the engine is using etc.

[floral copper]

gotcha

[plush stirrup]

OLED scares me 🥲 but that's because I use samsung phones

[raven ether]

haha what do you use tho

[plush stirrup]

I use 24" 165Hz IPS

[floral copper]

I want oled but I feel like it might be a transitional technology and something more consistent is just around the corner

[plush stirrup]

I want oled aswell, the colors are amazing, and the blacks 😍 but the burn-in...

[rough osprey]

nah its not

[plush stirrup]

All of my phones so far have had burn-in, so did other family members

[dull hollow]

the blacks are amazing

[steady sail]

more variants for oled maybe

[floral copper]

I don’t really care much about the colours I just want the lower latency and no ghosting

I’m on 240hz ips

[plush stirrup]

I just want my monitor to not have something burned into it after 2years xD

[floral copper]

from what I’ve seen that’s much rarer than it’s lead on, it sounds like that’s only really an issue in the 5+ year mark

could be wrong

[steady sail]

burn-ins got less and less of an issue lately

[floral copper]

yeah

[steady sail]

i think the burn-in warranty's are still there

[floral copper]

wonder if the burn in for my i7 14700k will get covered by warranty

[plush stirrup]

Seeing my phones makes me afraid, though by now my S20 5G is 4y old

but my S9 and S20 I saw it after 2years 🥲

[floral copper]

I only just realised my phone even was oled

[steady sail]

waow the oleds are soo much cheaper

[floral copper]

I think phones are significantly less likely to experience burn in because they don’t get nearly as hot as monitors

[plush stirrup]

they're more likely to experience burn-in due to higher brightness I think

[dull hollow]

unless you put on a static image at max brightness i think its hard to burn in modern oled monitors

[floral copper]

phones?

[dull hollow]

just do your daily pixel refresh or whatever its called

[plush stirrup]

task bar, firefox, etc some parts are just static

[floral copper]

hide it

[plush stirrup]

decreases efficiency though

[floral copper]

wat

it becomes hover to toggle

[plush stirrup]

go near it to make it show up I guess, idk how or if I can hide it on firefox, find the tab, instead of just being able to find the tab 🙂

[floral copper]

I was referring to windows task bar

[steady sail]

i mean if u use the phone on max brightness even in house for sure

and u dont have automatic screen off setup for sure

[floral copper]

I may or may have not followed that down to the dot and still haven’t had any issues

[dull hollow]

you can set it where you can do pixel refresh after shut down or do it immidately

[plush stirrup]

well yeah, but firefox is also static and I have that open a lot on my monitor, same with discord

[floral copper]

realistically, this isn’t going to be a likely issue if you’re being reasonable, use dark modes and do the pixel refresh thingy

[dull hollow]

do you split screen it or something?

[floral copper]

burn in is inevitable 5-10 years on

but for now you are gonna be fine

[plush stirrup]

for some reason my pc turns it's screens on at random 🙂

[plush stirrup]

multiple monitors

[dull hollow]

you dont need every monitor to be oled

[floral copper]

that too

[plush stirrup]

one is basically for games and firefox, one is for discord and one is for ... idk it's there 🥲

[floral copper]

oled wouldn’t be recommended for work/productivity

where you’re using windows for extended periods

[dull hollow]

imo oled is best for full-screen content or gaming

[floral copper]

yeah

[plush stirrup]

considering the time I spend in cs2 I'll probably have that burnt in very soon xD

[floral copper]

ahhhhh I can’t afford to make the switch right now I hate this topic

[dull hollow]

[steady sail]

i wanna get my hands on the ROG Strix oled monitor

[floral copper]

I’m looking at the alienware 360 one

[steady sail]

im gonna be fine with 240

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMj0E_BNIQU i want this

[floral copper]

I probably would be too, but I just can’t validate spending a thousand dollars on a screen not to go up on refresh rate

[steady sail]

its only 830$

[floral copper]

australian 🦘

[steady sail]

[floral copper]

dollaridoos

[steady sail]

yeah its 1300$ xD

[steady sail]

and i converting it from Hungarian Forints xD

[floral copper]

being australian is the source of my villain arc

[floral copper]

[dull hollow]

AW and Samsung has the same panel but AW is probably better in terms of customer service

[floral copper]

got a link to the samsung

I don’t mind the brand or whatever I’m just trying to get the best bang for buck

[dull hollow]

its what im using, the g60sd

[floral copper]

27in 360hz?

[dull hollow]

mhm

[steady sail]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw2725df this monitor is around 850$ xD

[floral copper]

this is what I’m looking at

I can’t find the samsung monitor yet

[steady sail]

okay yeah that monitor is 845$

[floral copper]

oh hold on think I’ve got it

it’s 300 dollars more than the alienware from where I’m standing

I can’t find the samsung one available anywhere that isn’t max price

[steady sail]

speaking of Australia xD

[floral copper]

the alienware ones on sale through amazon for roughly 1,150 aud

[steady sail]

thats not bad lol

[raven ether]

thats 240 tho right?

[floral copper]

yeah it’s good asf

[steady sail]

it is yea

[raven ether]

do you think is it better than AW2725DF, because thinking of switching to AW2725DF haha

[steady sail]

i dont have either

i just wanna buy one

[steady sail]

yeah for me its around 720 euro for the ASUS one and 750 euro for the AW

[plush stirrup]

me: the seller refuses my warranty because they didn't test for my defect
them: I'm sorry your package is lost
me: what do you mean lost
they never responded again x)

[steady sail]

10/10 user experience

[floral copper]

it’s like that screenshot where someone told PayPal they got scammed and they just responded with “Great!”

[steady sail]

im still suprised that the delivery guy who delivered my monitor said if my monitor got damaged while he shipped it i can call him and he would come back and ship it back to the shop

[plush stirrup]

I mailed the webshop, the sale platform (bol.com) and ASRock, all for my warranty... the only one that helped me is asrock, and legally they don't have to help me out

[raven ether]

well I guess I can neglect my 5% discount there then haha, will go for amazon 100%

[plush stirrup]

the defect was driver crashes and a rattling fan btw, how do you not notice a rattling fan :c fyi, avoid azerty 😉

[steady sail]

atleast in that thing Hungary is not that bad

shops are more transparent

[plush stirrup]

here they don't really care 😛 at least that's my experience

[steady sail]

anyway time to sleep gn chat

[plush stirrup]

I've told myself to only buy amazon from now on at least they do warranty broken items without having to mail 3 diferent companies

i did till i decided yesterday it was too annoying to deal with

as in overexposing screenshots and shitting the bed while recording with some softwares

[bright briar]

yes

[ashen spindle]

hdr is amazing just the surrounding software suites like windows, capture tools etc. can be a hassle

[dull hollow]

i did NOT want to deal with OBS settings

[floral copper]

is there much reason to use it in a competitive scene? I’m not much fun, I only operate within the realms of performance

[dull hollow]

absolutely not

if you’re young and look old that is bait, if you’re old and look young people would assume you are bait

they could beat guidance in everything and wall street would still be sad

[gusty kiln]

didn't beat guidance hard enough reeeeeee

[floral copper]

wait I’m gonna use you guys as google rq, when it comes to stabilising your performance and frames, is it better to use up MORE of your vram or less? or does it not make much of a difference in gpu scenarios

[ashen spindle]

games will use vram as it needs it, if it needs more than you have it will stutter massively

you cant give it more

[floral copper]

but say I’m not even close to maxing out my available vram, does changing the settings to increase the usage make a difference

I’m thinking more in the realms of gpu vs cpu dependance

[unkempt lake]

no

[ashen spindle]

it will maybe make it use more if its like using higher textures

if its not stuttering from a lack of vram, giving more wont do anything

[unkempt lake]

textures are negligible in terms of gpu usage only thing you need is enough vram

[ashen spindle]

and you can almost never manually adjust that at all anyway

[floral copper]

cool that’s interesting

[unkempt lake]

no hardware encoders sounds like the stupidest shit

moore's law is dead with his crack smoking sources again

there's no way theyt dont put hardware encoders on the thing

[floral copper]

I think in the past when my components weren’t as strong, increasing the graphics helped in some situations, so I was just curious about if there was any relation between the vram and say the cpu usage

that’s always been a sort of confusing topic for me, trying to boost your graphics to improve performance

I know it’s very circumstantial with the games

[ashen spindle]

if you are cpu limited you can crank the gpu settings to alleviate that bottleneck yes

but if vram usage changes is just a sideeffect if at all

[unkempt lake]

could reduce microstuttering induced by the cpu being pegged

[floral copper]

I don’t think my current system is bottle necked at all but there are the occasional games where I can’t seem to achieve stable 240 fps and Ive just been trying to play around with it and see if it’s something I could tweak

I used to have a huge micro stuttering issue after doing an extensive list of latency optimisations but I was able to fix it in the end

I still occasionally get traversal stutters though in some games which is annoying as hell

[unkempt lake]

Whats your system

[unkempt lake]

That's... the plague of modern games

So many have traversal stutter

Doesn't matter what hardware you use

[dull hollow]

welcome to UE5

[floral copper]

4080 super, i7 14700k, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, n7 z790

[unkempt lake]

I'll say UE5 has a lot less than EU4

[floral copper]

yeah I figured as such,

[unkempt lake]

If you messed with your 14700k are you sure you are actually stable

Same applies with your 4080 super

[floral copper]

yeah I spent a significant amount of time working on it, it’s undervolted and very finely tuned

[unkempt lake]

Too many times have i seen people tweak their hardware and they aren't actually stable

[floral copper]

initially the undervolt was too much which was the primary cause of my stutters

I’ve since fixed it, the temps are amazing and there’s no spikes now

capping out at roughly 80-85c under intense load

[unkempt lake]

It's because the VRAM is ECC

[floral copper]

that being said I’m not a pro, I could very well have sub optimal settings

[floral copper]

I think that was the part I had to reduce the undervolt for

[unkempt lake]

you'll lose performance but your game won't crash or artifact if the voltage or frequency is too high or low

Like you'll get microstutters

[floral copper]

I was just trying to prevent the cpu for being degraded

it was all pretty confusing and overwhelming trying to understand

[unkempt lake]

I'm talking vram for the gpu

Nothing to do with the cpu

?_?

[floral copper]

sorry yes I know, but I assumed you were referring to the voltage property that’s tied to the ram/vram

forgive my ignorance this isn’t my speciality

[unkempt lake]

Those are separate

The vram goes off the gpu voltage set in afterburner or nvidia's app

The ram goes off whatever is in your bios

[floral copper]

there was a voltage property in the bios tied to one or the other which caused me stutters when going too low, I don’t remember the name

oh I think my gpu is completely stable and fine

[unkempt lake]

Guessing you had an unstable xmp

[floral copper]

maybe

[unkempt lake]

And you were trying to correct it?

But for your intel cpu i'd say just make sure the bios is updated

[floral copper]

it was more I did an overhaul on every component and then had to slowly backtrack to find the source of my issues without reverting all my progress and performance gains

[unkempt lake]

Run everything stock

except xmp

Or just say fuck it

Oc the fucker

[floral copper]

everything’s really good and stable right now

[unkempt lake]

You have a 5 year warranty anyway

XD

[floral copper]

I just get very rare micro stutters

like… 20-30 mins rare

I don’t know, maybe I’m really nitpicky

I do feel like somewhere along the line, I have got something improperly set for the cpu

whether it’s a power setting, priority setting or process management

guyssssssssss 9070xt is ass for blender right

[ashen spindle]

its not amazing but its fine

but if thats the main use get an nvidia card

[latent comet]

bruh

[somber coral]

ill take your word for it

[unkempt lake]

How many times a year do you ACTUALLY use blender anyways

[somber coral]

not me man my brother

tbf ive never seen him on blender

[unkempt lake]

Exactly

He's just a hobbyist

Not a professional

Therefore a 9070xt is fine lol

[somber coral]

i just realised im gonna need to take my mobo out and everything if i buy all this

._.

no difference between 6000/6400/6800 in ram right

or noticable difference

factual

ill get 6400 then

cas and first word latency also dosent matter a ton right? its mainly gb amount and speeds

[unkempt lake]

cas lower = better

[somber coral]

yeah but am i gonna notice

[unkempt lake]

Also i still can't believe you're spending that much on a 7800x3d

[somber coral]

im probably gonna get a 7700x bundle

i play valorant and marval rivals

[unkempt lake]

That or 9800x3d

[somber coral]

i gotta buy an oled too

so im gonna stick with my 7700x

since im not paying that much

i refuse

[unkempt lake]

Also get rid of that liquid cooler

[somber coral]

but liquid cooler cool :(

[unkempt lake]

It's stupid

[somber coral]

why is rgb ram more expensive then non rgb btw

*less expensive

i wanted to change to an all black build but uh

[unkempt lake]

If you remove the liquid cooler you'll save enough money it won't be thay bad

[somber coral]

just gonna turn rgb off ig

[somber coral]

im saving 50$

and the 9800x3d is like 120 more expensive

and i play marvel rivals and valorant, not exactly cpu games

i mean valorant is but im on low settings anyways

[unkempt lake]

The difference between the 7800x3d and the 9800x3d is 110$

110-40=70

If you can't afford to put 70$ more into your pc, a device that will literally last you years, you're too broke to buy the thing in the first place

Like seriously 70 fucking canadian big deal breaker save a bit more at that point

[somber coral]

i dont need a 9800x3d though

id rather not overspend and get a 7700x

[unkempt lake]

Then buy a 7700x

[somber coral]

i play valorant

[unkempt lake]

70 canadian

[somber coral]

fair enough

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is good enough for 7700x/7800x3d/9800x3d right

[unkempt lake]

yes

Its fine

No issues there

[somber coral]

b series mobo can still oc amd right

[unkempt lake]

yes

[somber coral]

im out of m.2 slots ._.

im getting rid of my 2tb 980 pro ig, off to my brother

now the question is do i need a 9070xt

yes i do

[unkempt lake]

Intel arc b580 sells for msrp regularly in canada but welp it's basically what he has now with his 4060 so there's no fucking point

9070xt or nothing xd

Basically what i'm saying

[somber coral]

7800xt is also an opt9ion

also anyone know hwhy i get this when i try to launch val from taskbar

[unkempt lake]

val's anticheat

[dull hollow]

mine btw

oh i forgot case fans

what a blunder

[unkempt lake]

there were still a handful of low priced 7800xts and they were good for the price but i havent seen those in a while at a decent price

[somber coral]

is the big differencfe between b series and x series mobos the ram capacity?

[unkempt lake]

people explained this to you already

Unless you need a fuck ton of usb ports or extra pcie lanes, you don't need an x series

[fathom venture]

[devout raptor]

its time to go m.2 only

[dull hollow]

already got 1 2tb drive :v

i could swap out the other sata drive for sum bigger

[devout raptor]

upgrade to another samsung 9100 pro and launch windows in a second

[dull hollow]

as it’s only 240gbs

[somber coral]

So get a 990 pro 4tb

[frank spruce]

TN 600Hz or OLED 480Hz for the best motion clarity?

[raw zephyr]

anything with ulmb2 or dyac

480hz oled comes close behind though and you get much better colors

[whole axle]

Ulmb2 is on some OLED no?

if only it was a good card

fits miku though that its the low tier one

[bold coyote]

[steady sail]

I love the 5060 ti 8gb

With 128bit bus

[whole axle]

Ah gotcha

I thought oled was better tho because of the latency timings? And with the new ones coming it had a higher motion clarity rating than even the 600hz

[analog sinew]

careful what you're saying discord is on a TN monitor

[gusty nexus]

Oled everyday

[gusty nexus]

It is better in everything

[nimble arch]

Even if the 600Hz TN has higher motion clarity, every other aspect of an OLED is just better to look at. Not to mention the increasing degree of deminishing returns as these displays are pushed further.

Well pretty sure the new 500hz oled Msi coming is the highest rated motion clarity at like 21000 lmao

[frank spruce]

Don’t know if that max refresh rate compliance matters. If so, the rated refresh rate is literally pointless🤔

i can just move my arm around so smoothly its game changing

[reef patrol]

Clearly you've never beheld an in-depth discussion about Dwarf Fortress on chan.

[halcyon moss]

No, I don't venture into there

[devout raptor]

that case is the equivelant of a riced out car

crazy build tho

that psu is way over the top doe

or is it idk

5090 can pull like 500 watts max and 9950x3d has a 170w tdp

[latent comet]

Yes but last nvidia will release a 6090 with 750w

Let’s be sarcastic

For 2027

[devout raptor]

that could as well be a reality

[latent comet]

I do a new hardware with palit 5090, but I get crash when I switch of game

My setup currently

[ashen spindle]

5090 can draw way more

[latent comet]

Yes

The max I get was 525w to 540

On cyberpunk with ultra settings and max settings

[ashen spindle]

and that’s consistent and not spikes and you want to have buffer so your load spikes don’t trip the psu overcurrent protection

[mild dome]

The method of bypassing all the bullshit results while Googling *technical problem* and Reddit is perhaps the only reason the site should continue to exist

[devout raptor]

actually my raiden is probably faster

but like having a smooth surface is such a game changer

[reef patrol]

Oof... 5060 launch reviews are skathing.

8GB VRAM

[devout raptor]

who wouldve guessed

[dull hollow]

ngreedia not giving enough vram 🔥

[devout raptor]

wgats the difference agian

[unkempt lake]

What reviews

Its not out yet

[devout raptor]

raiden had too much both

[reef patrol]

Oh. I guess HU are working with press material and expected prices.

[devout raptor]

this pad doesnt feel extremely fast

i think the cordura pad had less static friction but was horrible to use otherwise

[dull hollow]

mfw 5060 ti (16gb) has more vram than 5070 (12gb)

[umbral heron]

Was the same with 40s

[unkempt lake]

50usd difference for the extra vram lol on the 5060 ti

People are just gonna not do research and buy the 8gb

Just like the 1060 3gb back in the day

[analog sinew]

yeh classic nvidia scam

and then their ai bs will eat the vram

[devout raptor]

msi cards using 16 pin

[ashen spindle]

It really needed to be 12gb minimum

[devout raptor]

is one 8 pin not enough for a 60 series

[umbral heron]

3 8-pins would be enough for 5090
But yeah, 1 8-pin would be enough

[ashen spindle]

Yes but they are also making 12vhpwr ones that are limited at 150/350/450w so the same cables work

[latent comet]

5090 palit oc

Max temp with all in max settings

Tdp 525w

[devout raptor]

you should probably undervolt a bit

[marsh pewter]

lol, lmao even https://fixupx.com/finalmouse/status/1905092536332701977

Finalmouse (@finalmouse)

people didn’t notice this gate vestige for 2 years. It’s been there on every ulx. 100 thousand ULXs out there and nobody can notice it because nobody turns their mouse upside down, zooms the fuck in with a magnifying lens and sees this. But it’s so cool to hate on finalmouse that now all of a sudden this insane microscopic thing that is necessary for the injection of the carbon fiber composite in such a thin wall is all the rage to shit on

That won't happen, since it's Twitter. Need an account.

FinalmouseFanPage (@FinalmouseFP)

If you see this “scratch” on your mouse it is considered normal, it’s where the gate of the hot runner is detached after molding.
︀︀
︀︀Because the mouse is so thin and uses more complex molding processes these gates are more visible than in standard plastic products.
︀︀
︀︀Won’t affect performance of the mouse.

cant wait for more signatures

[marsh pewter]

was about to say

[balmy vector]

more limited runs

with no development on better product production

[reef patrol]

I mean those ARE normal. You'll find that on any keycap as well, ours included.

We just hide them better

[marsh pewter]

exactly

[sudden imp]

expensive plastic

[balmy vector]

just put a finalboy signature over it

boom more resale value for the 3rd party market

[marsh pewter]

a defect they've apparently known about since its creation

[balmy vector]

blaming others for not noticing sooner lol

[reef patrol]

At any rate responding like that on the brand account is... Well its definitely a choice.

I bet for every person who likes a sassy, aggressive Wendy's style CM, there are people who dislike that and may look elsewhere.

[sudden imp]

Customers don't like to be told that their unit isnt defective and the large gash in their expensive plastic is completely normal

[bright briar]

never understood people who like the "sassy, aggressive customer service approach"

[astral haven]

Probably the only way to do customer service in public without caving to every demand

[marsh glade]

Some people have a degradation kink, no kink shaming here

[astral haven]

Besides just linking to their support page which is just a copout

[bright briar]

@astral haven naw you seen the magical wizard mr akbeetle? Thats how you do customer service

[astral haven]

Yeah but the cs itself isn't done in public

Unless you mean community support which is different

[bright briar]

they done some stuff on reddit before iirc

[astral haven]

Yea, but forum style stuff is very different from the outright public stuff

And replacement and warranty stuff happens through official channels still, doing that stuff in public is scary

[crimson wigeon]

It claims to have a standard VESA mount so most likely yes

[sudden imp]

Almost all monitors if they include a VESA mount, you should be able to mount it on anything else.

Not only are you failing to be funny, you're mixing up your stereotypes.

At least nico's family is lol

[balmy vector]

this is a true dashi moment

[unkempt lake]

i ain't wrong lol

danes in general have a very dry stoic type of humor the hell you want me to say

Also you can reply with words instead of emojis

[frozen ingot]

I would say that's more of a finnish/swedish thing

[unkempt lake]

applies to danes as well from my experience xD

But hey idk maybe nico's family's got some ikea dna or some crap maybe they're not just lego people

maybe they're swedish spies

👀

[frozen ingot]

I mean obviously not every single individual from x country are going to match the stereotype but generally danes tend to be more lax imo

Something i consider a basic festure nowadays

no there isnt really a rumour of that there is only a lack of linux patches that include n48 thats all

Posted about it yesterday, i think it's MLID with his shit sources again lol
