twas an accident

[rough osprey]

[halcyon spoke]

I used to be able to use my wooting two he in a powered USB Hub (I'm on a laptop), and I recently opened wootility and did some updates (last time was probably over a year ago), which I think updated everything like wootility, analog sdk and firmware of the device. Now with the same setup, I can't use it on the USB Hub with the same devices connected, does anyone know if a recent update makes the keyboard draw more power? (Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, I don't really know where to ask cause this isn't really a support ticket problem type thing, just a general question if anyone knows)

[iron wave]

Ayyy, let's go!

[iron wave]

Well duh.

I bet people still think the green Sharpie thing works.

[mild dome]

Green sharpie thing?

[iron wave]

Some audiophools think drawing on the outer edge of CDs with green Sharpies (yes name brand) makes the CDs sound better even though they are digital.

[heady hazel]

clearly the balanced and gold plated cd drive that i sprinkled with holy water makes cds sound better

[mild dome]

The green makes it sound fresher, like a salad

[azure otter]

can confirm i go to my local cd store to get my cds rotated, balanced, aligned, then go to the local baptist to get it baptized in holy water before it reaches my ears

[heady hazel]

thats how you get the best fidelity

[azure otter]

[umbral heron]

No, but you see, laser is red and marker is green, so these are opposite colors, so laser doesn't read from CD as hard, so it makes the sound softer, trust

[smoky parrot]

Also red is afraid of green

[clear perch]

which one of the 60he's is the best?

[deft sapphire]

I was looking for some standing desks, currently looking at the Flexispot E7 Plus.
Would like to have up to 125cm height adjustments with 3 segments so the desk doesn't wobble that much and it needs to carry my triple monitor setup + pc on the side of the desk.
Does anyone here have the E7 Plus or any other recommendations?

[ashen spindle]

check that the desk has not one but 2 metal rails to support the table, makes it sturdier and less wobble

[deft sapphire]

yop it does

[halcyon moss]

hey i got that one.

[ashen spindle]

the other thing to check by idk at reviews or if someone tested it, if the motor stops when it gets enough resistance

so it doesnt end up squishing anyone

[halcyon moss]

300 euro, when i got he 50% discount voucher

[deft sapphire]

oh damn how did you get that one

There's literally no way to enforce this cleanly. It's going to turn into a massive mess.

[faint relic]

My win60HE will not connect to the wootily app or website. I plug it into my laptop, and it types fine, but when I got to the app or website, it does not show up as a device to connect to

[halcyon moss]

Win60he? What's that

[steady sail]

Sir thats a wrong board

[faint relic]

wait no its win60 standard edition

[ashen spindle]

yes the win60 is not a wooting product

so it doesnt work with wootility

its a copy cat product of a wooting

[faint relic]

ok thanks

[fair gull]

how does this keep happening specifically with the win60he

yeah polticians are of course not affected

Because of national security

but it works

[sullen bear]

probably drop a slur or smth in ur search query or what

[vagrant pagoda]

use a - before slur so you dont include the slur in the results.

[iron wave]

Hrm.

[pale sigil]

kinda wroked

[sudden imp]

That’s a crazy work around. I’m assuming it’s because Google doesn’t want their ai using racial slurs so therefore it kinda breaks.

[ashen spindle]

nothing, there is no news this guy is just speculating

[marsh pendant]

man do I just need to get a bigger cooler? my 9850x3d is sitting in the high 70s low 80s most time in games

[ashen spindle]

thats fine

[lunar elm]

no thats normal

if it explodes its also a feature

[azure otter]

sounds like you should stick it in a portable freezer

(im trolling)

[marsh pendant]

I could front mount a 360 rad

[azure otter]

you should use a car radiator

[marsh pendant]

oooo

[azure otter]

its just a really big aio

[marsh pendant]

I turned PBO on, maybe I will turn that back off idk

it will spike up to 90 and power limit itself in any loading situation

[azure otter]

i side mounted a 360 rad

so my 9800x3d is pretty cool

[marsh pendant]

do you think it would make a big diff over 240 rad?

[azure otter]

ive not the slightest of clues

my brain smoov i just click circles

[marsh pendant]

I also heard front mount is better for cooling than top mount, but

[lunar elm]

no

in gaming its at best a 100w chip

[azure otter]

yea what he said

[marsh pendant]

thats not true, I regularly pull 110-120 while gaming

temps still around 80

[lunar elm]

what game

average games eat 80w

[marsh pendant]

I was just on helldivers for a few hrs

[azure otter]

want to hear my opinion on helldivers?

[marsh pendant]

poor optimized game yes but

maybe I should turn off PBO

[azure otter]

perhaps

[marsh pendant]

I have a -10 undervolt too

[azure otter]

try it out, if it doesnt help u could just turn it back on

[marsh pendant]

cpu power peaked 129

I mean still under 170 with my old 12700k

[azure otter]

i want to share my opinion on helldivers 💔

[marsh pendant]

I was able to keep that thing sub 80c while pulling max wattage

170 watts in cinnebench and it only hit 78

this turbos instantly to 90 with 150 watts but maybe the numbers dont tell the full story

[azure otter]

my opinion on helldivers is left unheard i guess

[magic minnow]

[azure otter]

hey, do you want to hear my opinion on helldivers?

[lunar elm]

put -20

most are able to do that

you arent requesting a higher clock anyway

mine did +200 boost -30 co all core

but shyte imc

[magic minnow]

Yeh

[azure otter]

i think it’s a game

[marsh pendant]

I had -20 and it crashed in 3dmark

so I went down to 15 and it crashed opening up helldivers at first lol

I think with the 9850, its basically a highly binned 9800, so there might not be much extra room to OC

[lunar elm]

overvolted*

A trick is to try every core and test on OCCT and see whats the max stability for each one

I know some1 who did that for their 9950x3d and they have an entire chart of each core and what UV they can each take

[magic minnow]

[marsh pendant]

damn.. thats some dedication idk if I wanna spend LOL

Ive never OC'd before

my old mobo didnt support it

[lunar elm]

its just very time consuming

I believe they also configured a gear 2 mem OC

9950x3d benefits more bcs dual ccd with one without 3d vcache

[marsh pendant]

yeah

I had an idea just now, I might be able to move my 240 aio and mount it in the front with tubes down MAYBE

idk if it will reach

I feel like I would have done that in the beginning if it did

[dull hollow]

i hit the lottery with my cpus

both my 7700x and 9800x3d has done -30s

[lunar elm]

+200 boost?

my 9800x3d is a golden bin in that regard except the imc is ass

[latent mural]

damn, I max out at -25

not that far but that last 5 is just out of reach

[umbral heron]

[magic minnow]

[lunar elm]

theres very minimal gains or basically none after -25 tbh

[crimson wigeon]

PWEEEEEASE USE OUR AI

[analog sinew]

but sadboy nutella really needs you to use it

[frozen drift]

Is the keychron K4 HE good? It seems like it can also support analog inputs.

[umbral heron]

Keep in mind that analog inputs is just controller emulation

[marsh pendant]

man my pc does NOT want to go lower than a -15 undervolt, it wont do it

-25 crash on login, -20 crash at start of benchmark

[frozen drift]

I do want analog inputs because I play emulator games lol

also, I do want to purchase the 80HE or 2 HE but the 2 HE is a full-sized keyboard (so too big for me to carry around) and the 80HE seems really nice but the zinc alloy body is apparently very prone to scratches and I am absolutely not good at handling this kind of stuff. + the 80 HE is missing home/end button

I really like the 80 HE and 2 HE aesthetics tbh, but the keychron k4 HE 96% layout seems really good for me too.

[frozen drift]

although now I remember seeing that the 80 HE can change to have home/end buttons as well

[umbral heron]

80HE Zinc doesn't scratch almost at all, and you can just use eraser for scratches, I proved it by literally scratching mine with a keycap puller
And there's plastic version too
Plus you can remap Home and End button and you get keycaps for them with keyboard too

[frozen drift]

I've seen 2 youtube video reviews whereby the zinc base is prone to scratching tho.

[frozen drift]

Also, the 80 HE can utilize wooting's upcoming volume knobs/dials right?

[umbral heron]

Yup, all ARM keyboards can

[marsh pendant]

stupid question, why did my CPU keep the same 5.3 boost clock when I set a limit to 85c instead of 90? It kept the cpu 5c lower but still hit the same clock speed 🤨

[frozen drift]

maybe less cores are hitting the high clock speeds.

Has anyone tried fitting zinc casing with plastic top plate for the 80 HE? I asked this question before and you all told me that the fitting may be sketchy but workable.

[umbral heron]

You can use zinc bottom with plastic top, but not plastic bottom and zinc top
Basically it all comes down to how the latches inside mesh with each other

[fair gull]

just an fyi they can do anything not just volume

[frozen drift]

I am thinking what to buy for my new keyboard, about time for me to replace my RK84

Though my RK84 is still working fine but it's been 5 years and I want an upgrade, mechanical keyboards are still a champ in terms of durability

Actually, I have a question, how are we supposed to use this knobs? Will it be like, replacing one switch on the keyboard or smtg?

Oh, more like 4 switches.

[alpine patio]

2 sizes

so both

[frozen drift]

I just read the article.

Any ARM-based keyboards means it is compatible with other company's products as well?

what would be a non-ARM based keyboards?

[alpine patio]

any arm based wooting

prolly ask in general actually

[umbral heron]

non-ARMs would be Wooting One, some Wooting Twos and a very small part of Wooting 60HEs

All Wooting keyboards you can buy now are ARM-based

[lunar elm]

it will boost till it hits tjmax

[reef patrol]

And a lot of older 2HE*

[umbral heron]

mi forgetti

[fair gull]

very small feels like an overstatement somehow

[reef patrol]

It is though. It was only the very first batch of 60HE that were AVR based.

[marsh glade]

Sad Lekker Edition noises

[fair gull]

hence overstatement. idk how long we actually made/sold the 60he

but a lot more batches than 1 if i recall right

[marsh glade]

First batch was the only AVR, which was delivered to customers in July 2022

Second and future batches were ARM, there's a blog post titled "We Have a Proposal For You" or something along those lines

[fair gull]

ye if i recall right the first batch was also quite small due to the issues with getting AVR mcus

[marsh glade]

It was a huge batch back then

Tiny now

[reef patrol]

I really don't get why we're debating why "really small" is not tiny.

No need to fuck flies.

[marsh glade]

It was more a comment on the batching being considered large back then, but by today's standards tiny

[marsh glade]

Is this the Danish equivalent of the Dutch "breeding ants" expression?

[reef patrol]

Yes

[distant tapir]

Gives meaning

[umbral heron]

So that is what it meant

[frozen drift]

Does the 80HE save a lot of weight if I buy zinc case + plastic top plate?

Weight is a bit of a concern for me as I will bring it around tbh

[halcyon moss]

then do get the plastic case

[umbral heron]

If weight is concern go for full plastic
Zinc is heavy

[halcyon moss]

the zinc is too heavy to daily carry

[steady sail]

The zinc case is 1.4kg

[halcyon moss]

or... just get a lofree flow lite or something

[frozen drift]

Plastic feels a bit too cheap. I may just look for keychron alternatives instead.

[steady sail]

Plastic case is pretty good

[frozen drift]

I don't mind zinc bottom case + plastic top panel if it saves some weight

I'm thinking either 2 HE, 80HE or k4 HE from keychron

[halcyon moss]

i have no clue if they fit

[frozen drift]

It fits apparently, according to quite a few peeps in this discord server

[steady sail]

Even if u go with zinc bottom and plastic top it would be around 2kg still

The fully built zinc 80he is 2170g

But you gonna get a carrying case with the zinc case

[frozen drift]

Yeah then it's fine. I wouldn't carry it daily but if I end up getting a 80HE by end of this year, next year and possibly 2028, I need to travel with it on a weekly basis

[alpine patio]

I take it with me to school

[frozen drift]

Yeah I know, 2 kg is almost as heavy as my laptop. If I can dial it down to 1.6/1.5 kg with plastic top plate it's actually fine for me, but I doubt so

[alpine patio]

Its really not that bad

[halcyon moss]

i got a travel keyboard (lofreeflow lite) and a 80he on my desk

[frozen drift]

I'm poor xD, I'm going to spend my own money so I would rather not do this.

[halcyon moss]

i do not want to do that, its also way too fat with its carry case

[steady sail]

Tbh if i would travel a lot i would just get a 60HE lmao

[alpine patio]

I just slip it into my bag, it is pretty scratched tho

[frozen drift]

Nah I refuse to go anything below 75%

[steady sail]

Or a Nuphy board

[frozen drift]

Ouch

[alpine patio]

but i dont really mind

yea id say lowfree flow lite is a pretty good travel option

[steady sail]

https://nuphy.com/collections/keyboards/products/nuphy-node-series-low-profile-page i would really just get this for travel LOL

[alpine patio]

even better than its big brother the lowfree flow probably

[winter patrol]

sounds like the rog azoth 96he is perfect for you

[frozen drift]

Considering keychron K4

I am also looking for analog capabilities as well

Because I play emulator games

Which is why I really wanted to buy a wooting keyboard

[halcyon moss]

https://www.lofree.co/products/flow-lite84-mechanical-keyboard

[frozen drift]

And the azoth 96 HE is PRICEY, although god does it look nice and fancy as hell lol

[winter patrol]

yeah the chinese REALLY like the azoth series

[frozen drift]

I don't know but I sometimes do prefer extremely fancy gamer-ish look on peripherals

The ROG azoth series is really quite my cup of tea, but it is pricey and since I'm upgrading, I do want HE keyboards. I actually don't mind clean looks like the 2 HE, but I also like azoth 96HE, or corsair vanguard pro 96

[winter patrol]

The azoth 75% still top 3 among the sea of cheap HE boards

[lunar elm]

2kg is x1.5 the weight of my laptop

its about as comparable to a 3 slot cooler card

[frozen drift]

I was even considering the older huntsman v2 analog from razer

Tbh, it would be great if wooting made a 96 HE keyboard lol

[frozen drift]

The azoth 75% is mechanical tho?

[winter patrol]

ye the best seller is mx

the 96he is 11th on the current list

the azoth x is 13th

[frozen drift]

Yeah the 96HE is pricey

Actually the 80HE is also a bit pricey, I thought the zinc alloy one is the same price as plastic case o_0

The plastic one is reasonably price and is well within my budget, but the zinc one is more expensive

Also, is it possible to order plastic top plate + zinc bottom case or not, actually?

[steady sail]

Nope

U have to get a zinc and a plastic case

[frozen drift]

So pay extra money? Oh lol, that's bad news for me

[steady sail]

So i would just get a plastic 80he if u want wooting

[leaden kiln]

don't the zinc and pcr cases have slightly different ways they go together
would the pcr top work on a zink bottom

[steady sail]

But they don’t have enough money to buy both cases

[alpine patio]

lowk

why not just get the plastic version

[steady sail]

Now its gonna be a painful 8hours at work

[alpine patio]

im also waiting for my new phone

but luckily im just at home working out

[steady sail]

👀

I really should get a new job that can do home-office time to time

[alpine patio]

bro

im doing part time remote work for a company i did a school internship for

they trust me to just tell them how long i did work for and send them for hourly pay calculating

its so peak

[balmy vector]

I have my field tech job where i get paid even if i dont go out to a site to do work

Anything over 80? Overtime! Anything below 80? Still paid for 80 !!!

[magic minnow]

[dull hollow]

i havent tried boosting it

[frozen drift]

I may just end up buying keychron K4 HE and buy a wooting 80HE wrist rest 😄. The K4 HE seems to meet most of what I want

I've also seen videos saying that plastic case feels a bit cheap/less premium. We'll see. The K4 HE is cheaper than 80HE too, although the 80HE has better features, so understandably so.

[alpine patio]

keychron as a whole is a bit iffy

[frozen drift]

Iffy in what sense?

[alpine patio]

nvm iffy is too kind

[frozen drift]

O_0

Oh wells

[alpine patio]

i mean generally keyboards will rank quite low

tech in general but keychron's rep isnt stellar

[frozen drift]

Does anyone here own any keychron HE keyboards though?

[marsh glade]

Ooeph
Though it's fair to say that services like TrustPilot will tend towards much lower scores than the typical experience. People don't typically go out of their way to leave reviews on those kinds of platforms unless they've had a negative experience

[frozen drift]

Like does it feel good?

[alpine patio]

yea tech in general, its much lower than avg

[marsh glade]

That said, our Trustpilot score is more than double their's, with more reviews in total 😅

[alpine patio]

i did see a 1 star review complaining about this discord lol

probably because of the resident duck

[marsh glade]

We're an acquired taste

[alpine patio]

he did give 5 star to a game boosting service

[marsh glade]

[frozen drift]

It is not possible to buy a 80HE top plate and casing separately right?

[marsh glade]

Correct

Not sure why you would want to?

[frozen drift]

I wanted zinc bottom casing + plastic top plate to save some weight

Oh wells, I mean I don't think it's possible to do a custom order either, too much of a hassle, RIP 😓

[marsh glade]

As far as I know, it's not possible to do half plastic and half zinc, as they utilize slightly different attachment mechanisms

[frozen drift]

Oh, really? Some people said it'll fit

[marsh glade]

@karmic falcon you did a panda style build once didn't you, was that black and white zinc or white zinc with black plastic?

[karmic falcon]

hello hi

I did at some point, lemme investigate

Oh, so it is kindaaaa possible to do top plastic, bottom zinc @frozen drift

I remember someone built a bottom white zinc, top frost

But they did run into a couple issues with the clips

I did full zinc panda build unfortunately though

Here is a pic of the bottom white zinc, top frost - and I think you might need to sand one of the clips on the bottom zinc case

[marsh glade]

(this would void one's warranty on the case components, though not the PCBA)

[frozen drift]

I don't really have the budget to buy both cases just to do this too though

Unless wooting is kind enough to like custom pack one and let me assemble it myself

[frozen drift]

Oh needing to sand it down is a bit of a pain lol

[frozen drift]

Does it feel lighter than all zinc build?

[jaunty rose]

@bright briar Dude I just spent all night modding my ps3 just to realize I’m not sure if I’m even gonna use this shit 😭😭😭😭

I should’ve just waited for the fallout episode

[vagrant pagoda]

same i use my vita more than ps3

[heady hazel]

is a vita worth it when you have a psp?

[vagrant pagoda]

vita dose everything psp dose

and more, with a better screen

tis amazing for streaming games from pc/ps4 as well

[heady hazel]

hmm i guess ill track one down then i got my psp while working at a social thrift store for 5€ and i like it but a vita is on my list

[vagrant pagoda]

if you can, get a 4g oled

you can swap the 4g for a sd card

so you can still use normal vita gamecards and homebreew

*3g

[heady hazel]

homebrew seems the way to go, can you also use the vita as a gps?

[vagrant pagoda]

not withouth the super rare gps accessory

there is no gps inside

[jaunty rose]

I did it for the convenience of not using an emulator on my pc (dislike using them and handling the files such as roms, keys, etc) just to spend 6pm-3am on this ps3 eliminating the convenience and just now waking up and realizing it would’ve been better and I wouldve spent less time setting up an emulator, downloading much more games than I have on my modded ps3, and just taking the time and effort to properly sort all my emulation and rom files in my d-drive

[heady hazel]

Rpcs3 works well to me , its not perfect but most games run decently

[jaunty rose]

Yeah I worked with rpcs3 before

[vagrant pagoda]

also there are a limited number of andourd vita ports

which is wild

bully being the big one

and baba is you

[jaunty rose]

I’m just gonna wait for these games to download to turn off the system and just wait for whenever I remember I have a modded ps3 with like 25 games

[heady hazel]

yeah the psp has one aswell kinda neat

[vagrant pagoda]

they are super rare though

[karmic falcon]

https://wooting.io/outlet 👀

[vagrant pagoda]

there is a 3rd a party app for it to use google maps

[karmic falcon]

there are a couple cheap zinc cases here

[heady hazel]

honestly modding a console is sometimes more fun than using it

[frozen ingot]

often I find the soldering project more fun than the finished device

[jaunty rose]

Yeah the process was fun (a bit frustrating) but it didn’t really feel satisfying to finish

Makes me wish I had physical games even more

[heady hazel]

i am contemplating on selling one of my 3ds consoles but honestly id rather keep them given that one has a codec issue and the other is a regular one

[frozen drift]

May consider going plastic 80HE route instead

[halcyon moss]

Just go plastic

[frozen drift]

I wonder if there's any way of modding a plastic 80HE so that I can add some heft to it lol

[halcyon moss]

It's good plastic apparently

[jaunty rose]

Man I loved my 3DS, it was the complete opposite modding experience from my ps3, it was short, satisfying, and I actually started using the console even more

Until my system combusted.

[frozen drift]

I wonder why there's big difference in youtube and reddit experience for keychron keyboards

[marsh glade]

Rumor has it that refurbished 80HE's will be available extremely soon

[karmic falcon]

leak leak leak

[heady hazel]

left is my og 3ds i got as a kid, and to the right is the one i bought when the switch dropped, a new 3ds xl samus edition, sadly it has developed a habit if constanly pressing the select button. i suspect the codec chip

[jaunty rose]

Not because of modding it physically gave out

[jaunty rose]

Ok man no need to flex lmao

[jaunty rose]

It was my childhood new 3ds xl from 2016 and the battery bloated and the top screen had giant splodges of dead pixels

That grew

Well it started out small

Than it got bigger

[halcyon moss]

OK calder

[heady hazel]

honestly at current pricing more than worth it to fix especially if you want to go ips

[frozen drift]

I swear some keyboard review channels on youtube say that the plastic one just doesn't feel good

[jaunty rose]

Yeah 100% I just honestly dont have the motivation to do it, also it’s like 2 hours to fix the top screen

[heady hazel]

yeah i need a donor motherboard so uhh i just disabled the select button using software so i can play 3ds games on the big one and play normal ds games on the small one

[rough patrol]

i should check if my old 3ds is still doing ok

same with my wiiu

[jaunty rose]

Just played on CSGO then unplugged it lol

[heady hazel]

they are kinda worth more than gold but due to my nostalgia i wont sell them

[fickle ore]

lole

[frozen ingot]

I don't care if its used for brainstorming or quick concept assets but if any slop makes it into the final product am out

[vapid ruin]

Rest in peace

[heady hazel]

i agree , id say a quick concept is where ai shines, but yeah the finished product can not contain ai assets

unless its a remaster and they are ai upscaling some assets in a good way that i can understand if its a small studio or a free update

[ashen spindle]

concept art which is the most creative part should be fine to use ai but finished touches of repetetive shit to finalize the thing not? odd take

[heady hazel]

no i mean in a quick brainstorm setting to convey how you want something to feel id get it as a design student i like to use ai at times to see if a thought i have works out before i commit to spending a lot of time drawing a concept

[ashen spindle]

so you're still using it in the creative part and not the part that just puts the idea into the game lol

[heady hazel]

i guess so yeah, i have never ai generated an asset for a project i just generated some textures to see how it would look and then spend the time making my own

Windows Latest (@WindowsLatest)

Nvidia's staff has confirmed that removing Windows 11's January 2026 Update fixes gaming issues, including artifacts.

This year's first Windows Update has been hell of a ride for some users.

List of issues in Windows 11 January update:

- Broke Remote Desktop and shutdown on some PCs, later patched via an out of-band-update. Then, Microsoft found the shutdown issue on more PCs.

- Broke sleep mode (S3) on older PCs

- Broke customization in File Explorer.

- Causes boot failure on commerical PCs.

- Black screen and even resets the desktop background

and the list goes on.....

Microsoft is internally reviewing its strategy and genuinely wants to fix Windows 11.…

[crimson wigeon]

Clearly all these bugs are human error, they need to use more AI!

[reef patrol]

Laughs in 5 week update breaks

[frozen drift]

Man I still think the keychron K4 HE suits me better, though I may buy a wristrest from wooting just to support wooting

[halcyon moss]

That's a nice sentiment, but a company never needs *support"

[frozen drift]

I feel like supporting them xD, I mean I don't mind it since I want to buy a wristrest anyway.

Although I get it, imagine wanting to support AMD and the just come up with all these BS like not having proper software support for the 9000 series GPUs lol

[ashen spindle]

what? what software support is missing?

[frozen drift]

Not missing but lackluster(?)

Isn't the RX 9000 series lacking vulkan support

[ashen spindle]

???? lmao no

[frozen drift]

Like specifically for FSR 4?

[ashen spindle]

fsr4 doesnt have a vulkan implementation, got nothing to do with the cards

which in effect means you dont have fsr4 in doom the dark ages.. I guess

[frozen drift]

Yeah, doesn't that just mean that there's no FSR 4 vulkan support?

[ashen spindle]

fsr4 was not made to run on vulkan yet, there is not vulkan version of the software yet

[lyric hatch]

That's pretty funny

How is AMD not going to support vulkan

[heady hazel]

vulkan beeing mantle 2.0 makes that situation hillarious

[frozen drift]

Well, I'm sorry but I may have just spoke up without knowing the full story but a lot of people are crashing out on reddit saying how FSR 4 is not supported/useable in vulkan

[steady sail]

I don’t have any crashes on Vulkan

[ashen spindle]

yes there is currently no native fsr4 solution that runs on vulkan, but again, currently that means maybe 2 AAA games that are heavily using nvidia anyway cant use it

proton and stuff runs a translation layer anyway so it works just fine on linux or people use a custom version of the leaked source code

so uh, yes dumb and annoying but very far from 9000 series being lackluster

that card has issues elsewhere but not in vulkan lol

[heady hazel]

gpus as a whole are lackluster right now i still dont get why sapphire went with the new connector

[steady sail]

Bc they wanted it

[heady hazel]

yeah but why bother with a connector you know is flawed? i had sapphire in the past , was always happy with their gpus

[fair gull]

but those 2 AAA games im not playing are why i will get nvidio

[steady sail]

I mean

[sudden imp]

My computer needs to have the best gpu in order to run microslop co-pilot

[lyric hatch]

Whatever happened with that 6000 series going into "maintenance mode" thing

[ashen spindle]

yeah that happened, the cards will be fine and all, you just dont get day one game optimizations anymore but most annoyingly no feature updates from dx12 or vulkan updates

that is something to complain about

[nova willow]

Does anyone know if Wootings coiled cable fits for IQUNIX EV63, and I know it fits but does it nerf the latency or anything?

[reef patrol]

It's a USB cable. Why would it "nerf" anything?

[crimson wigeon]

Muh latency cause it's longer and curvy

[lyric hatch]

Yeah AMDs corpo speak wasn't that clear
"New features, bug fixes and game optimizations will continue to be delivered as required by market needs in the maintenance mode branch,"
Unsure what market needs means to AMD up to their interpretation I guess

[nova willow]

Because it was invented back when Wooting 60he v1 was a thing, and Iqunix EV63 uses more powerful performance and speed than that.

[reef patrol]

No it doesn't 😄

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe if a big AAA game requires some fancy new Vulkan feature they might bother implementing it for legacy hardware is how I interpret that

[ashen spindle]

for the user its mostly fine, for the industry it fucking sucks because it keeps more hardware around that cant use newer low level features and is especially shitty since its the same set of IP as current console still are

[nova willow]

?

[ashen spindle]

it still just an usb cable that fits the usb spec and no keyboard needs more than that

[fair gull]

its still usb2... like all keyboards on the market that would be competitive

[nova willow]

Yeh, just want to get every bit of performance that EV63 offers, and I would like a longer, more stylish cable. And the reason for asking was to just be sure to not make a purchase for a product that was not meant for such engines, if that makes sense.

[tribal dirge]

me who uses a thunderbolt 5 cable on my keyboard unironically LMAOOOO

mainly because I am lazy

[fair gull]

literally any usb cable will support the bit of data a gaming keyboard sends

[nova willow]

Is that so? It really doesnt matter which?

[azure otter]

hi ducky!

[tribal dirge]

wassuh

[fair gull]

as long as its not a charge only cable it doesnt matter

[leaden kiln]

gotta get my 5m fiberoptic cable out for mine so I can sit in the next room

[azure otter]

i replaced my oem mouse skates cuz i felt like it today

[nova willow]

Okay, thank you a lot.

[azure otter]

idk why i didnt do this sooner, these feel so much better

ive had these obsidian pro skates longer than ive had this mouse bro

[steady sail]

My wallhack skates still sitting on my desk unopened

[tribal dirge]

realllll

[tribal dirge]

lmaoooo

I love to have an SFP++ port on my keyboard LMAO

[steady sail]

@azure otter my OLED arrived today

[azure otter]

hell yeah

[tribal dirge]

yayyyyyy

[leaden kiln]

I used that cable(came with my vr headset) to transfer stuff to my phone, I think it was the only type c usb3 or better cable I owned until recently

[azure otter]

noice

[tribal dirge]

thunderbolt 5 tho

[leaden kiln]

yeah

[tribal dirge]

epyc

[leaden kiln]

my phone aint tb5 though

I think my old laptop has tb3 though

and I had one with tb4 for a short bit

supposedly this is arriving tomorrow aswell but I don’t trust postnord to be accurate

[smoky parrot]

I literally have a thunderbolt cable too lmao

@tribal dirge

[tribal dirge]

so real

[scenic fractal]

I literally got this monitor yesterday

[steady sail]

How is it ?

[scenic fractal]

its lowkey rlly clean

feels really good, smooth. Also you get cable storage with it

[little zodiac]

Im lowk thinking about upgrading my pc but idk what Parts are good and what parts are not good can some1 give me advice?

[scenic fractal]

for cpu go for any 3d if amd, if intel i dont rlly know

[ashen spindle]

whats the budget and what do you want to do with it

[umbral heron]

7800X3D/9800X3D/9850X3D, any motherboard based on chipset B850 and for GPU either 5070, 5080, 5090 or 9070XT

[ashen spindle]

and do you mean ugprade your current one or new build

[scenic fractal]

but at max dont get anything more than like a 5070 or smth. gpus arent used much unless you do single player games

[little zodiac]

lets say 400? i also wanna buy the 4070 super but the budget is not included

wait let me show you the specs i got rn

[ashen spindle]

thats just not even remotely accurate

just because valorant and rainbow six or similar dont use it doesnt mean multiplayer games dont use gpus

[scenic fractal]

i have a 3070 ti with a 7800x3d

runs rlly well

[ashen spindle]

okay and?

[scenic fractal]

im just saying gpu isnt top priority im not saying u shoulkdnt gert smth better

[ashen spindle]

thats just not something you can generalize

[little zodiac]

i have the intel i5-11400F plus 32 gb of ram and the rtx 4060 ti

[umbral heron]

So more or less 3600X in AMD terms

[little zodiac]

but the rtx 4060 ti is gona get turned into a 4070 super

[ashen spindle]

you said 400, what currency so I know what region

[little zodiac]

euros my bad

[ashen spindle]

what sort of games to you mainly play

[umbral heron]

To upgrade to new CPU you need DDR5 ram, 11th gen supports only DDR4

[little zodiac]

fortnite sometimes cs

[umbral heron]

CPU heavy then

[scenic fractal]

thats what i said then. upgrade the cpu

[little zodiac]

what cpu do i need

[balmy vector]

hed have to get another mobo and new ram kit themn

[little zodiac]

or do i order a new motherboard

[scenic fractal]

well u have intel

[balmy vector]

thatd be over budget most definitely

[scenic fractal]

u can stick with that

intel is used a lot among cs pros

same with fortnite

[ashen spindle]

no hes not getting any relevant upgrades on that platform anymore

[umbral heron]

They have LGA1200, 11th gen is the best they can get on this platform

[steady sail]

Try and get a 11700k maybe

[little zodiac]

This is the mobo i got

[steady sail]

Or 11900k

[ashen spindle]

I assume a bit above 400 would work if you sell the current ram/board/cpu to ugprade those parts?

[balmy vector]

maybe

[little zodiac]

i mean yea i can return the cpu for 150 but the mobo idk

[umbral heron]

Won't really help, these games want beefy single-threaded performance, between 11400 and 11900 there's like 10% of difference

[steady sail]

I mean maybe a 12th i5/i7 if they can find any with a DDR4 compatible mobo

Or even 13th gen

[scenic fractal]

amd is best but it depends if he can fit getting a new mobo in the budget

[umbral heron]

No 13/14th gens

[little zodiac]

this is how it looks

[steady sail]

Bc i don’t think that they can get another 1000€ plus for ram

[scenic fractal]

clean

[ashen spindle]

it being the best on the top doesnt mean its the best at cheaper price points

[scenic fractal]

yea obv im just saying

[umbral heron]

I mean, yeah, 32GB of DDR5 cost 400€ alone nowadays

[heady hazel]

gpu is the priority you build the rest around that to not bottleneck it

[little zodiac]

i lowk also need somesetup upgrades wait

[ashen spindle]

thats just also not the case and depends on what you primarily use it for

[heady hazel]

for general gaming you do build around the gpu for productivity its a different story

[ashen spindle]

no even for gaming it depends what your primary games are

[umbral heron]

You pick CPU and GPU around your budget first and then build around both of them

[little zodiac]

Im gonna buy the 4070 super

[blissful halo]

Nowadays it’s ram and gpu

Cpu prices don’t fluctuate that much

[ashen spindle]

wait why are you buying a gpu thats barely better when you have like almost no budget?

[little zodiac]

Isnt it way better?

[ashen spindle]

lol no

[scenic fractal]

no

[ashen spindle]

its the next best thing so the smallest step up you can get

[blissful halo]

I mean it’s a decent jump, but is there any good reason for you to bother upgrading the card?

[ashen spindle]

its not a decent jump though

[little zodiac]

No but its only 200€

[heady hazel]

4000 series was meh

[ashen spindle]

its on average like 20% but he's mostly playing games that are cpu limited

[little zodiac]

If i return my old gpu

[heady hazel]

huh

[scenic fractal]

4060 ti in terms of price and performace is considered one of the best 40 series on the market

[ashen spindle]

if you buy the gpu you will see basically no difference, you will see more gains if you put those 200 ontop of the 400 budget for the cpu ugprade

[blissful halo]

It should be more, considering its competitor is the 7900gre

[little zodiac]

Then what about the 5070

[ashen spindle]

why do you want to ugprade your gpu

[blissful halo]

That’s a waste if you don’t need it

[little zodiac]

But is it fr enough?

[pale sigil]

New mobo came

[ashen spindle]

you are playing games that are almost entirely limited by your cpu, changing the gpu wont change anything

[blissful halo]

The €200 is better spent on a cpu than your gpu

[heady hazel]

what do you mean with return the old gpu?

[scenic fractal]

hurts my soul

[balmy vector]

welp, time to go weed whacking on the rest of them

[little zodiac]

If i return my gpu on Amazon

[bright briar]

has the car melted yet ?

[little zodiac]

No its metal

[scenic fractal]

i would just focus on putting the money into a new cpu

[ashen spindle]

@little zodiac https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/dnv48Z this would be something you could get if you add the 200 you wanted to put into the gpu to the cpu instead

[blissful halo]

I just saw that they put the gpu on the flow through out of all areas

[little zodiac]

Is amd working on msi mobos?

[pale sigil]

Nah, I'm getting a replacement.

[balmy vector]

right after you go weed whacking right?

[ashen spindle]

yes I just put some cheap board on there to have a rough price

[pale sigil]

Wdym

[ashen spindle]

since cooler and board costs vary depending in what country you actually are

[little zodiac]

but my friend said its not compatible with my msi motherboard

[ashen spindle]

yes because you have an intel board

[little zodiac]

i live in germany

[scenic fractal]

yea not with urs

[ashen spindle]

msi makes boards for both

[heady hazel]

what gpu did you buy?

[little zodiac]

4060 ti

[scenic fractal]

you would need to get a new msi that is compatible with amd

[heady hazel]

wait you still can buy the 4060 on amazon? crazy

[little zodiac]

my mobo is prob really old old

[little zodiac]

yea

[ashen spindle]

thats why I put a new board on the list, you cant use anything newer that makes sense in your current board

[blissful halo]

What about a used board

[ashen spindle]

used hardware can be cheaper yes, I aint recommending used stuff to someone I dont know when I dont know how they can deal with issues etc.

[scenic fractal]

since iim here anyone know good settings for the wootility software. just got my tenz takeover

[ashen spindle]

preference, whatever works better for you

[blissful halo]

Depends on marketplace policies, but buying used components typically doesn’t cause issues

[ashen spindle]

yeah but theres no list I can sort through so have to tell someone what to look out for etc.

it works fine I just aint spending that much time on it xD

[little zodiac]

but then i got no warinty

[steady sail]

There are ppl who sells stuff with limited warranty

[little zodiac]

do you got a idea on led colorways i dont got none

[steady sail]

Or even with real warranty

[little zodiac]

but amazon is goated

[pale sigil]

Steugkging to get a chear photo lol

[little zodiac]

i could even get it for free

[scenic fractal]

naw i just got it like 10 min ago

switched from the razer tkl

[little zodiac]

oh dang

[sudden imp]

that don't seem right

[little zodiac]

Thats my wotti

[pale sigil]

They aren't XD

[scenic fractal]

looks clean, i just dont like 60% so im glad they came out with the 80

[little zodiac]

Sound 1/10?

[scenic fractal]

8/10

[little zodiac]

I lowk need a better sound

Do you got ideas?

[scenic fractal]

clicky or more soft?/

[little zodiac]

Clickyyyyy

[scenic fractal]

so more like red or blue

[little zodiac]

Red

[unkempt lake]

Amazon moment

[scenic fractal]

honestly i like cherry reds

[little zodiac]

oh thats what you meant

i got the ufo switches

i mean do you got ideas on how to make my keyboard sound better

[blissful halo]

Search up color palettes

[scenic fractal]

dont know much about keyboards besides polling rates and response times and etc

[little zodiac]

google?

but also for my wootinf

[little zodiac]

oh ggs

[scenic fractal]

i more focus on mouse and headsets

[little zodiac]

yeah i got the beast x 8k

is it good?

[blissful halo]

Yeah google, you can find color palettes with codes and make a color profile out of it

[scenic fractal]

yea thats good

[blissful halo]

You don’t really need a special mouse to be good

[scenic fractal]

im more towards razer in terms of mice also, just cuz of the grip

[scenic fractal]

yea u dont cuz i got 8k polling rate and that shim eats my cpu

i dont even use it

i use 1-2k max

it feels way better tho i cant lie/

[blissful halo]

I’ve always stuck to 1000hz cause it’ll kill my battery otherwise

[scenic fractal]

you can clearly tell the difference when it comes to polling rates

[scenic fractal]

yea lmao

shi dies after a 1h game

but I would never go back to wired for it

wired actually sucks ass

[blissful halo]

Chifi is really nice nowadays, you could get something for 20-50 bucks and call it a day

But for my $250 iem to be called chifi by some guy was crazy to see

[scenic fractal]

damn

mic are damn expensive nowadays tho ngl

like for a 8k one

i used razer all my time so i have a viper v3 pro sentinels edition

[umbral heron]

Fifine AM8 and carry on

Oh, mice

[blissful halo]

Pretty sure you can get something cheap for like $80 tops with the 8k dongle

[scenic fractal]

I would say mouse is all about prefrence bottom line

until 8k polling rate is normalized

and the battery doesnt die in 2 sec

[blissful halo]

I doubt it’ll be normalized, cause it brings marginal gains

Maybe 2k will

[scenic fractal]

yea, true it feels so different

[blissful halo]

It’s the same as like 144hz to 240/360

240 and 360 is much more normal nowadays and it’s a solid jump from 144

[scenic fractal]

yea i just went from 144-180 and lowkey feels better alr

coudlnt find 240 in store

[balmy vector]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitten-handshake-deal-agree-gif-7134721403924803840

You and me both

[blissful halo]

The true eye opening experience is oled 240hz
Having no ghosting is a day and night difference

[scenic fractal]

tho do the resposne times matter on the monitor

[blissful halo]

A lot

[umbral heron]

I have Shure SM58, but only because I found it in pawn shop for really cheap
But I'd go for AM8 if not for that

[scenic fractal]

makes sense. i was going for a 0.3 but they didnt have that either

[blissful halo]

I’d rather play on a 120hz oled than 240hz ips at this point

[scenic fractal]

so i just took this rog 180 hz on sale

[leaden kiln]

I jumped from 60 to 360

[balmy vector]

My friends are contemplating on getting the am8 ever since they heard how i sound with it lmao

They REALLY love it

[blissful halo]

The advertised 1ms GtG is pretty much a lie, you’re never going to get close to that. At best 4-5ms and close to 3 for top of the line LCD monitors

[umbral heron]

On 240fps one frame will be 1/240~=4.16ms, so... less than that
As long as end-to-end is less than say 15ms, brain can compensate for that

[blissful halo]

They better be releasing that 27” 1440p 5th gen oled soon

[scenic fractal]

im guessing advertised is just what goes from cpu to monitor

[blissful halo]

Are you running it on USB output for XLR?

[scenic fractal]

im ngl i cant get anything below 27' everything else is mad small

[blissful halo]

I heard it’s a decent quality difference between USB and XLR for those mics

[scenic fractal]

i have the blue yeti blackout rn

[balmy vector]

usb

difference isnt that huge, though you get more freedom with xlr inputs

[blissful halo]

It’s mainly about the ghosting

Motion clarity is unmatched on oled, maybe by dyac+ but the color are going to be terrible on a TN

[umbral heron]

TN in big 26 💀

[pale sigil]

Feels so wrong putting a CPU in a food bag

But it has no pins so it's fine j guess

[umbral heron]

Nah, whet it comes to ghosting I go on benchmarks, like rtings, I don't believe in response claims from manufacturers

[blissful halo]

I always go to hardwareunboxed and optimum tech, if I can’t find the monitor there then I head to rtings

[balmy vector]

rtings gotta pick up their pace with these new monitors coming out though, theyre slacking!

[blissful halo]

Hardwareunboxed reviews the majority of premium monitors if they can get their hands on one, and it doesn’t come 5 months after the initial release

[ashen spindle]

rtings, monitorunboxed and tftcentral are usually covering all relevant monitors if you check those 3 sites

[plush wasp]

Hi, I've recently been thinking about changing the casing of my Wooting keyboard for a Holy 60, but I don't know much about keyboard mods. What do I need to change the casing?

[blissful halo]

God bless tftcentral

I love their articles

[umbral heron]

In most cases you only need a PH1 screwdriver

[blissful halo]

5 gallons of glue

[umbral heron]

That's like half of Equestria put through a grinder

[plush wasp]

Does anyone have an AliExpress option for the Holy60 for the Wooting V2? I'm short on cash, haha

[ashen spindle]

I'll be frank I dont think the wooting discord is a place where many people will have good deals on other keyboards lol

[umbral heron]

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006903201698.html

[plush wasp]

tysm :3

[pale sigil]

Replacement mobo coming tomorrow, will be be fucked or?...

Place ya bets

[plush wasp]

Is it okay if the PCB is exposed? I mean, can't a lot of dust get in?

[umbral heron]

Yeah... I mean look at mice with holes, they also are dust accumulators...

[leaden kiln]

there’s a tape mod on the bottom of the v2 pcb
kbdfans sells a plastic piece to cover the bottom too

[plush wasp]

ty c:

[dull hollow]

yes

[plush wasp]

And lastly, hehe, do the same Wooting v1 cases fit the v2? (Sorry for so many questions)

[umbral heron]

Yup, full compatibility
In some cases though you'll have to screw one of the screws in, for grounding, as v2 uses friction fit

[plush wasp]

the screws comes with the kb right?

[umbral heron]

Yup, aside from those in keyboard there are always several spares

[steady sail]

any good OLED care stuff that i should turn on

[pale sigil]

Not a static wallpaper

Auto hide task bar

[steady sail]

i do use wallpaper engine

[pale sigil]

Also screen timeout

[distant tapir]

I would only do this if you want the screen to be as good as possible by 2035

I don't use any of these measures aside from timeout and never have

No task bar is annoying because I found it finicky

[steady sail]

yeah

[distant tapir]

I never had it on my LG C2 and never had any visible permanent image retention on test patterns

[pale sigil]

Meh I got used to it fast on my laptop

[distant tapir]

So I don't worry about it

[steady sail]

i mean its a 4th gen Tandem OLED soo i might be safer idk tho

[distant tapir]

You will be I'm sure

[leaden kiln]

I almost never even see my wallpaper

more worried about my browser burning in than my wp

[pale sigil]

Are your windows always full screen?

A lot of my static windows are on my second monitor

[balmy vector]

wonder how much bright it is

[leaden kiln]

some of my windows are maximized

[balmy vector]

uniform brightness should be on

[steady sail]

okay so i just looked at this

https://testufo.com/blacklevels

the only thing i see is the 7th 8th and 9th cube

[steady sail]

any white color is hurting my eyes

and im on SDR

[balmy vector]

with uniform brightness on?

[steady sail]

yes

[pale sigil]

You can tell I stopped caring

[steady sail]

soo for some reason Brightness is at 100%

[balmy vector]

tatsy

[jaunty rose]

This is me but only with the front and not the back

The back is a jungle….

[pale sigil]

Uh that's kinda the joke

[steady sail]

HDR content looks good

[pale sigil]

He's hiding all the fat by stretching to his back so his front looks skinny and clean

[heady hazel]

nah at some point you just cant

[stiff path]

5000D?

[pale sigil]

4000d v1

[stiff path]

Nice, looked familiar, I have the 5000d airflow in black. Goated for me

[stiff path]

Turn down the brightness and use night light in windows

HDR on my oled looks washed out

I play in the dark, so im especially sensitive

There are some great settings for SDR that make it look better than HDR depending on your hardware and settings for using in the dark or low light

[stiff path]

Use gamma BT.1886

[stiff path]

Same, none to this day (I have a c2 also)

[stiff path]

What is your monitor?

Autohide taskbar
Remove desktop items
Have your background change in windows every 10 mins (download a bunch of oled wallpapers)
Turn on any oled care settings
Dont be aggressive with brightness

[heady hazel]

i cant deny that oled is nice but that seems like a big compromise, compared to a ips screen

[dull hollow]

i have my oled running at max brightness, always show taskbar

[jaunty rose]

[stiff path]

Why? Not at all actually

Its amazing

Its next level

[plush wasp]

the friction pad works on a holy60 ???

[dull hollow]

i mean if youre playing in a dark room then yeah its fine not using max brightness

but my room pretty much has lights on most of the time so i use max brightness

[heady hazel]

i mean its a list of things you have to keep in mind if you do not want burn in over time

[pale sigil]

That's big brain

Like

[stiff path]

Its set and forget lol

Once you set it, thats all

[heady hazel]

i mean id be concerned about spotify and simmilar

[stiff path]

Takes care of itself

[heady hazel]

definetly browser bar burning in , happened on an old phone of mine

[dull hollow]

why would spotify be an issue

[stiff path]

Hidden in taskbar lol

[heady hazel]

if you leave it up for hours i guess, which i kinda do

[dull hollow]

unless you have spotify on your display 24/7 for 24 months

[heady hazel]

that sounds like something i would do

[dull hollow]

oh i always minimize spotify

browser i would get more

[heady hazel]

the adress bar concerns me, have burn in from that on a oled phone

[dull hollow]

i use a dark wallpaper for the most part

[heady hazel]

i actually have burn in on my psu lol

[dull hollow]

the fuck lmao

[stiff path]

Monitor will go to standby by itself after inactivity

[dull hollow]

main displays wallpaper

[stiff path]

I see no problem

[stiff path]

You have seen the beauty of an oled monitor in person?

[stiff path]

My buddy has the 4090 rog of this haha

[heady hazel]

i have yes its neat but eh id rather be safe

[dull hollow]

my oled next to old ips is

[stiff path]

Follow my instructions and you are safe

[heady hazel]

you can tell its burn in lol

[stiff path]

That is because its static, I have the same psu

Doesnt have the precautions built in to monitors

[heady hazel]

fair enough i guess my phone does not either

[stiff path]

Mine is Thor p 3 1200 atx 3.1

[dull hollow]

it looked good on oled so im using it

[stiff path]

What brand?

[stiff path]

Not my thing 🖖👽 but looks good

[dull hollow]

well the wallpaper is white initially but i just changed it to black so i dont get flashbanged everytime i go to home screen or start up the pc

[stiff path]

Your phone brand might indicate this

[heady hazel]

iirc it was a redmagic 3 i wanna say

[stiff path]

If you search oled wallpapers they are usually on the dark side

[stiff path]

Most likely the cause

Red magic makes good items

[heady hazel]

i mean i think it was their first oled phone

[stiff path]

Buddy has a tablet for gaming but they are new

[stiff path]

Thats why

[heady hazel]

i retired it mainly for the fact it was constantly calling emergency services from my pocket lol

[stiff path]

Oled monitors these days have built in preventative measures

Even my old c2

[heady hazel]

yeah fair im still running like the ad27qd from aorus because it was like one of the few g-sync and free synce monitors at the time

[dull hollow]

cant even compare them https://youtu.be/HKWXvrKAVuQ?si=YUzP3LShqyoQv7Sy

old wooting build cameo

[stiff path]

Take a look at oled good sir

[dull hollow]

pbtfan crosshairs on geon raw 60he+ black tofu60 redux

[heady hazel]

just had to replace my tv so i doubt it , i had funny scanlines on the top screen

[stiff path]

Fair enough

[empty wren]

Lcds with enough local dimming zones can at least get closer

[heady hazel]

yeah i did pick up a samsung with full array dimming figured its cheaper and more durable on paper

[stiff path]

Just sayin, zero burn issues with years of PC use on my oled c2

8,745 games plus and no burn in

[stiff path]

Cod m on gameloop

[heady hazel]

yeah im also not concerned on my iphone about burn in but full array local dimming and a lcd is nice enough for me

[stiff path]

Here is the proof… imagine 8,745 plus with static health bar etc and not even a slimmer of burn in…

For anyone else on the fence

Oled has arrived

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/-u2-HSmUTyU?si=c9al7eLuJQroxpIK
is AMD getting greedy or is this guy yapping?

[stiff path]

AI bubble will pop soon

Look at the markets

And the drama between openai and nvidia

Its starting

[heady hazel]

amd is getting greedy like all corporations

[empty wren]

Shareholders

[stiff path]

They will come crawling back

[empty wren]

Capitalism

Always growing

[stiff path]

And hype for stock price

[heady hazel]

i mean its hard to capture but imo full array dimming works well enough that lcd can produce decent dark colors and contrast

[stiff path]

Nice but for me, I cant go back to anything from oled

[empty wren]

I have seen it at a buddy's but it only still comes close

[stiff path]

Its a virus haha

[ashen spindle]

J2C doesnt know shit past how to make a watercooled build

[heady hazel]

id say so but for the price its a decent compromise id say

[empty wren]

I personally still love the extra vibrancy from oled

[heady hazel]

i mean it depends on the package imo this tv is 4k 120hz with variable refresh rate so that is neat

And it has a pretty decent upscaler because 1080p etc is still common

[stiff path]

My c2 has gsync and is 120fps

At 4k

[ashen spindle]

oh my god I watched parts of it to give a better answer and I just lost more braincells yeah you can ignore whatever this guy says

[heady hazel]

I mean amd wants that ai money for sure

[ashen spindle]

yeah its just completely unrelated

like he talks about how we didnt get many cpus in 2025 compared to 2024...

like no shit thats normal when cpu ip is on a 18month cadence

do you want more rebrands that are the same chip without changes? that does nothing

like you cant ask for more stuff if it just takes longer than 6 months to make a new cpu because that shit is hard as fuck

like oh my god the ignorance of someone whos literaly job is doing all of this makes me mad

says amd doesnt spend much on R&D
amd earnings call yesterday had people asking why amd is spending more and mroe on R&D

WHY DO YOU MAKE A VIDEO SAYING THEY COULD DO MORE WHERE YOU SAY YOU DONT KNOW IF THEY CAN DO MORE OMG

[heady hazel]

personally i do not trust a single company, during these times to not sell out especially tech

i mean jensen needs a new jacket apparently hes cuddling with open ai still

[ashen spindle]

yeah but the shit hes talking about takes like 2+ years so any rdna4 decision had been mostly finalized in 2023

like the idea of maybe amd want more silicon for ai instead of making a 9090xt just makes no sense when not a single product is silicon limited

do they want to make more money by selling more ai hardware? yes

is that a reason why they arent making a better gpu? no

[heady hazel]

historically amd has not been dabbling in ai as much as nvidia did so i get that they want to catch up, it just remains to be seen where that leads

[ashen spindle]

yeah it's just almost not at all related to consumer business

hell if anything it could even be a boon because they get to spend more money on tech for AI that will come down to consumer like better 3d stacking

ai focus has quite some downsides but it's not the root cause for every single decision thats bad for consumers

ai isn't the reason intel fails to make a better/bigger gpu lol

[heady hazel]

not every but things like micron fucking over consumers has made folks jumpy i guess

[ashen spindle]

thats also badly reported because it's not like they stopped selling to consumers they just dont do it via their brand anymore

so its more like the same as anyone else, production shift not a complete removal from the business

[heady hazel]

i see i thought crucial was dead?

[ashen spindle]

yes but they still sell it to others xD

micron is a massive supplier for a lot of laptop memory via crucial that asus now will just buy from micron directly

[sudden imp]

Thanks for saving me my limited amount of brain power

[ashen spindle]

and similar things

[sudden imp]

It’s fun to watch him build stuff but other than that I don’t really care

[ashen spindle]

sure it will allow them to shift it a bit more just like everyone else does it, but they aren't fully dropping a segment

[heady hazel]

yeah still i do not think its good that they dropped their own consumer brand, im sure we will see more niche brands step up

[ashen spindle]

anyone else like corsair could just buy from micron and make consumer ram like they do with samsung and sk hynix ram

yeah it's just not that different from the other vendors shifting supply, they just didnt have their own brands so it's not as public

[heady hazel]

corsair apparently also buys from nanya and smaller suppliers

[ashen spindle]

but in theory it could be possible that micron moved the least away from consumers just gets the worst pr for it lol

[heady hazel]

i mean i do not blame people with ram prices soaring they want a witch to burn

[ashen spindle]

yeah

I dont blame people I blame youtubers and other media that run with the story without comparing it and showing what it actually means

[heady hazel]

yeah fair , most tech youtubers are either corporate shills or they shill their own stuff

only one i trust is gamers nexus mostly because they research very well

[ashen spindle]

yeah steve did mention it in part but still ranted a lot more than it deserved imo, can't blame him wiht how everything is turning shit but he's also not flawless

[heady hazel]

oh no but i do enjoy a johnny silverhand esque anti corporation rant

[heady hazel]

him beefing with palantir on twitter still is funny

[harsh flume]

Can anyone give me some ideas as to what might be going on? My Ethernet on my router isint working I’ve spent 3 days troubleshooting and even got the router replaced and still have this problem my Ethernet was just working at a different house so I suspect it isint a pc problem although it is a completely different service provider I’m at a loss for how to fix it

[tropic sundial]

sounds like something you need to call your ISP about maybe?

[halcyon moss]

https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/its-2026-just-use-postgres

A opinion I can get behind

[steady sail]

https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqwmg/ this

[true atlas]

So question will wooting ever make a mouse? And if not is there something on par and as good as the wooting keyboard but instead of a keyboard it’s a mouse I’ve been looking for one I’m getting my wooting tmr but I need a new mouse as well

[rough patrol]

Wooting have not announced a mouse and there are no indications of one being in active development at the moment

[stiff path]

My buddy just bought this 2 days ago haha

[stiff path]

Autohide taskbar
Remove desktop items
Have your background change in windows every 10 mins (download a bunch of oled wallpapers)
Turn on any oled care settings (go to monitor oled care settings and turn them on)
Dont be aggressive with brightness but this new model can handle it

https://hdqwalls.com/2560x1440/oled-wallpapers

[steady sail]

i use wallpaper engine instead of static wallpapers

but 90% of the time i don't even look at my desktop

i do have these turned on

[stiff path]

Use this just in case

[stiff path]

I would turn on taskbar detection and boundary detection

[sullen bear]

We use postgres mongo elastisearch

What now

[sullen bear]

You get any banding issues yet?

[steady sail]

nope

[sullen bear]

Good, heard it was an issue with it, its the glossy right?

[stiff path]

Check your Nvidia or AMD settings to make sure you are running at 280hz

[steady sail]

most of the time i watch videos on my 2nd display soo thats not an issue

[true atlas]

Can anyone recommend a mouse that has a bunch of futures built in to a software ?

[sullen bear]

But i have the same panel so idk why the asus one would have it but mine wont

[sullen bear]

Such as?

[true atlas]

?

[steady sail]

thats the first thing that i do with High Refresrate monitors xd

[stiff path]

For Nvidia, change to 10bpc and full dynamic
