#

I was happy with docsis 3.1

fallow bison
#

Ouch didn't know adsl had this upload speeds

#

Those*

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah it's complete crap at uploads

latent mural
#

after moving I'm stuck with dsl and vectoring

#

they allow vdsl for business but then i need to pay for them to upgrade the infrastructure till my end

crimson wigeon
#

And when you do any kind of uploading at that speed the connection is unusable

karmic grail
#

adsl only have a limit of 1Mbps upload

latent mural
#

my dsl is almost the same in uploads, but god that jitter, the same being... mayb half

zenith sonnet
#

I need to talk to my ISP to get my contract upgraded to 400 Mbit πŸ€”

karmic grail
#

rEEeee

latent mural
#

@zenith sonnet Unitymedia?

zenith sonnet
#

Vodaphone/Kabel Deutschland

latent mural
#

ahhh

#

it's basically the same

zenith sonnet
#

I'm thinking about cancelling my contract though

latent mural
#

uplaod speed is disappointing

zenith sonnet
#

And reapplying through my wife

latent mural
#

ah kk

zenith sonnet
#

To get the new customer benefits

latent mural
#

there's usually not a good other option

zenith sonnet
#

But then I'll have to wait till May

karmic grail
#

vodaphone = vodafone?

latent mural
#

btw

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah

#

RIght

#

I always spell them wrong

latent mural
#

do you use their stuid router or you you already own your own docsis router?

karmic grail
#

vodafone exists in australia but its utter poop

latent mural
#

ebcasue theirs are trash, especially for 400mbit

zenith sonnet
#

Current I've got a Fritzbox 6360 they supplied
It's fuming pile of crap

latent mural
#

they're called vodafone

#

they bought unitymedia, which is basically the best widely avaialble ISP

#

believe me

#

the fritzbox is god tier

karmic grail
latent mural
#

in comparison to the other crap of them

zenith sonnet
#

The basic one (Hitron) they supply I thought wasn't all that bad?

latent mural
#

we had a technicolor one

#

that was complete garbage

#

and then the horizon box

#

the horizon box shouldn't even exist imo

pale sigil
#

That screen is cool

latent mural
#

it's so bad

pale sigil
#

But why?

latent mural
#

it's a phone

pale sigil
#

Oh lmao

karmic grail
#

yes is a phone

latent mural
karmic grail
#

why: on the fly temp checking, it doesnt live in my case permanently

latent mural
#

rate my setup

zenith sonnet
#

Anyone, planning on using it in Bridgemode as a modem only, and getting my own router
They disabled Bridgemode in their custom firmware for the Fritzbox, which sucks

#

And getting my own router with SQM

pale sigil
#

@latent mural that wallpaper makes it look like gpu is fucked πŸ˜‚

karmic grail
#

your table is like 3x the size of my one

latent mural
#

and excuse me for the RGB madness the corsair setup isn't loaded

zenith sonnet
#

The Fritzboxes can't do SQM

latent mural
#

ye gimp fed up and I didn't botehr fixing it

karmic grail
latent mural
#

I never see the wallpaper anyways

#

had to make my own since I usually use 3 monitors

karmic grail
#

Tino: Bob why do you still have that smoll table
That postcard size mousepad is a sin

latent mural
#

and why the g502?

karmic grail
#

y not

latent mural
#

it's sooooo heavy

zenith sonnet
#

Heavy isn't bad

latent mural
#

it's like what?

#

130gramms

zenith sonnet
#

Although I'm happy I upgraded to the G Pro Wireless

karmic grail
#

fun fact: i cant tell the difference when it has weights and when it doesnt have weights

latent mural
#

oof

#

@zenith sonnet have that one too

#

currently use the Zowie FK1 though since the shape is a lot better

karmic grail
#

i really like the 502 but the cable braid problem bothers me a bit

latent mural
#

jsut switch it

#

get a 20€ paracord from ceesa

zenith sonnet
#

Zowie has WAY too much mouse lag

karmic grail
#

take off braiding
duct tape

ez

#

πŸ˜†

latent mural
#

not too noticeable

#

Zowie shapes are THE BEST imo

karmic grail
#

i want a EC2A once this dies

latent mural
#

logitech has yet to rival that

#

I'll actually get my EC1-B today

karmic grail
#

google chrome alone uses 4gb of my ram

#

CHROME STOP

latent mural
#

rip

spare wave
#

I regularly have 200+ Tabs open, because ya know, I might need them.

zenith sonnet
#

Nope, I'd notice those extra 8 ms or so the Zowie needs longer to get a signal to the PC compared to the average Logitech mouse

spare wave
#

But maybe I need them.

#

Yes. That's the point. But maybe somewhere in there I scribbled down like 10 windows keys.

karmic grail
#

200 tabs of por-

spare wave
#

But I know its stupid.

latent mural
#

unsure if i can simply use the phone as the router for a internet-only sim card

karmic grail
#

@latent mural you could do that

spare wave
#

@latent mural yes.

#

Have you seen my garage?

karmic grail
#

@latent mural my friend lives off his s3 plugged into his pc

#

fun fact i was cleaning out my garage and chucked out my 75hz monitor

zenith sonnet
#

Radeon VII NDA lifts in 3 hours
Works starts in 2 hours
Fuck my life 😦

karmic grail
#

eg: my all in one overclocked from 60hz to 75hz

pale sigil
#

I had a really unhealthy habit of keeping boxes

#

Don't do boxes kids

spare wave
#

Don't do keeping.

pale sigil
#

They ruin your space

fallow bison
#

I kept all boxes which came woth the parts of my setup

latent mural
#

I have too much space

fallow bison
#

I can barely move

latent mural
#

I keep my boxes

pale sigil
#

Ye I used to

karmic grail
#

i chucked all my boxes into my inwin A1 box

spare wave
#

I once had enough space.

karmic grail
#

cause ITX box is small boi

pale sigil
#

Now I only keep boxes with value >Β£150

fallow bison
#

And peripherals

spare wave
#

Now the garage is filled with magazines and other stuff.

fallow bison
#

For serial numbers for warranty

spare wave
#

Anyone has experiences with royal mail UK to Germany?

karmic grail
#

nope cause australia post is life

#

DHL is life

fallow bison
#

Yo anyone familiar with nin-responsive unifying receivers

#

This is hell

latent mural
#

@spare wave in what regard

#

if you do it before brexit it should be similar to normal national mail

#

so no extra import fees etc

#

although it'll be more expensive

fickle ore
#

@zenith sonnet Not sure exactly what influences the speed, but there are mice faster than Logitech's offering for clicking

zenith sonnet
#

Maybe, although there isn't much left to be gained
It should already be sub 5ms

fickle ore
#

I've bought a kickstarter mouse which uses optical switches and their focus is on low latency

#

should be pretty fast

#

yeah couple milseconds at best

zenith sonnet
#

But tracking performance is way more important than one for two milliseconds when clicking

#

And nothing beats it in that regard

fickle ore
#

how so? do you mean the sensor?

latent mural
#

ye

#

it's much more important

fickle ore
#

alot of mice these days have 3360 or 3389

latent mural
#

but pretty much all mice are good enough in that regard

#

shape and weight are usually more important

#

everything 3310 and up is more than good enough

zenith sonnet
#

Sensor, plus information delay

latent mural
#

build quality is important too

#

althouhg zowie is good in that regard

#

logitech sometimes has problems with low humidity enviroments

#

they can't switch from omron though since they are partnered

zenith sonnet
#

I read somewhere the use custom Omron switches on the Pro Wireless, but I dunno the details
The clicks feel perfect, though

latent mural
#

they switch to kailh or huano

#

since the omrons can double click

#

usually in low humidity

#

they build up static electricity

#

the otehrs don't do that

#

huanos are heavier

fickle ore
latent mural
#

and zowie switched to omrons but their qc said that all omrons should be returrned and they switched back to huanos after that

fickle ore
#

Ive bought omron's before and they all feel different. Hard to choose 2 from a box of 20

zenith sonnet
#

The newest Logitech mice come with the Hero sensor, not the 3366 any more

fickle ore
#

aye

latent mural
#

It's normal for switches to feel different though

karmic grail
#

dont like how logitech didnt do anything new with the hero 502

#

except for logo and sensor

fickle ore
#

hero sensors had some issues with drawing straight lines at low speeds iirc

#

all i'm saying is omron switches have a lot of variance

karmic grail
#

wireless g502 tho
would buy 100000%

pale sigil
#

G503

#

Sorted

karmic grail
#

503?

fickle ore
#

a brick is a brick is a brick πŸ˜„

karmic grail
#

G602 is the closest thing to a wireless 502

main trellis
#

Should I fix anything?

#

I put everything up yesterday

karmic grail
#

uhhhhhh

zenith sonnet
#

Turn on the light? πŸ˜ƒ

fickle ore
#

Logitech doesn't offer glossy surface and they all feel like soap to me, that's my biggest issue with them πŸ˜›

main trellis
#

I have to swap out the twooting when it's here though :^)

karmic grail
#

Wish I could afford twooting

main trellis
#

I'm seriously over budget for this month xd

karmic grail
#

I spent 240ish dollars on the wooting1

#

Which is probably the 2nd most expensive thing in my setup

pale sigil
#

I've and to start putting my Keebs on my shelf

#

Just don't have enough desk room

karmic grail
#

GPU: 330$
W1: 240$
CPU: 220$

#

Ram: $200

latent mural
#

That is not an efficient use of acoustic foam

#

may i suggest something else

#

but if you can't be arsed, that's ok too

#

well those squares certainly weren't cheep

fallow bison
#

Yes lotheawen, cable management

solar hinge
#

you mean the sound foam @latent mural ?

#

i'm looking for something to do decent cable management

latent mural
#

out of the loop

#

cable management?

#

i do mean the sound foam

#

@solar hinge

solar hinge
#

yes, i need like a nice cable gutter that doesn't cost a kidney :p

latent mural
#

foam costs a kidney

#

it really is very expensive

#

i mean furniture foam

#

cant get cheaper

#

you people can't buy pro level :p

#

it is

#

better just use some pretty Velcro straps

#

cheep sound foam is really just packing foam, and this still is expensive for the amount in, let's say, that photo above

#

each piece there costs no less than 3 euro

#

but why

#

why get foam

#

of all things

#

24 euro for something you don't need is still 24 euros

#

well.. it doesn't look cool

#

expense is different to different people clearly

#

it wont be 3 euro per piece unless they look for it

#

and it will do nothing acoustically

#

and it's placed to do nothing acoustically

#

it's several misaligned tiles

#

that is no cool looking at all

#

you're welcome.

#

What's a ghetto way to make a mouse bungee

fallow bison
#

a box

fickle ore
#

strip the mouse cord to its bare essentails

#

tape the 4 copper wires together

fallow bison
#

one red and one black wire

#

lol

fickle ore
#

I'm not even /s, I'm playing like that

fallow bison
#

lol you are?

fickle ore
#

yes

karmic grail
#

ok cutting wire

fallow bison
#

Some old card

#

like your mastercard

#

do not actually

fickle ore
#

ive had 2 bungees and they never worked that well for me

#

paracord is quite nice

pale sigil
#

But it costs money regardless that's not nothing :D

#

@fallow bison it proper pissed me of in bdo

#

When In the middle of a duel

#

I'd start randomly spamming attacks

#

Because of my mouse lmao

#

Looked like I was using a script

fallow bison
#

Oh damn

#

Yeah try booting into safe mode once

#

use it for a lil while and see if it still occurs

latent mural
#

paracord is nice

pale sigil
#

Honestly tempted to return it and get a g503 xD

fallow bison
#

Which one have you got now?

pale sigil
#

Corsair glaive

#

Would be a little abusive not going though rma but instead amazon tho

#

Ngl

#

Ye I stopped naming it that

#

Because people got confused

#

Haha

#

It's a greet mouse

latent mural
#

there is no g503 though

#

only a 403 or 502

pale sigil
#

Ye I typed it wrong

#

Tis a space whale

fallow bison
#

Lol i use an MX master

#

i dont game

#

ish

#

TBH the side scrollwheel is amazing

pale sigil
#

I had a g502 once

#

If was bae

#

But died

latent mural
#

i had a 502

pale sigil
#

After 40 min

latent mural
#

?

fallow bison
#

Lol

latent mural
#

wtf

pale sigil
#

Ye...

#

You haven't been around long

latent mural
#

was it the rgb version?

pale sigil
#

But I have bad luck

fickle ore
#

pretty cool, mouse molds :p

karmic grail
#

Anyone playing apex legends? It's a surprisingly fun game

#

ah shite

#

Keep forgetting there's other channels

crimson wigeon
#

Who isn't playing it

fickle ore
#

delayed a bit. Around march/early april at this point. Available on amazon then I guess

pale sigil
#

@karmic grail it's an awesome game!

fickle ore
#

I'm not sure.. But Amazon and ofc to KS backers are already confirmed. Could be maxgaming aswell, hmm

#

interested to try the LK optical switches

#

Damn. I guess you could get one straight from him though, thru the website

#

Ill let you know how it is once I receive mine

pale sigil
#

I honestly really didn't like the g403

#

It was so small

latent mural
#

how big are your hands?

pale sigil
#

And so light

#

Enough to shut you up boi

#

Wait

#

I'm getting mixed up

#

Ha

#

I was thinking g402

latent mural
#

ahhh

#

the g402

#

didn't like that one

#

the 403 is larger

#

and about 90g

#

so weight is fine

pale sigil
#

403 was cheap as chips recently

#

Wish I got it

latent mural
#

yes

#

the 305 is extremely cheap on the used market though

#

I could currently get one for 15€

fickle ore
#

that's pretty cheap indeed

latent mural
#

and it seems to be in new condition as well

pale sigil
#

I think they disconnected the wireless version

latent mural
#

I have big hands though

#

there are multiple wireless g403 versions

#

the g603 and 703

fickle ore
#

I've got a unused g303 pretty much in new condition. People seem to buy them for large sum since it's EOL and in perfect condition. Should probably sell for 100€

latent mural
#

wait a bit more

#

there won't be a rerelease due to the shape

fickle ore
#

you think?

#

Maybe I should hold it for awhile longer

pale sigil
#

Wireless mice are to pricy for my liking atm tbh

#

Max I pay is Β£45

latent mural
#

you could likely get it up tp 150€

#

like I told you

pale sigil
#

Also my Anne Pro died

#

F

latent mural
#

the g305 is available on the used market for half that

pale sigil
#

:(

latent mural
#

F

glad scroll
#

F

latent mural
#

just solder it dogelul

pale sigil
#

And since tis from China they don't give a shit

latent mural
#

lol

pale sigil
#

Nah the pcb has gone

latent mural
#

they are like fujitsu with the hhkb

pale sigil
#

Possibly the port

#

With my skills

#

No chance of repair

latent mural
#

just resolder it

#

lol

#

how much do you want for the remains?

pale sigil
#

Sorry what

#

Oh

#

I mean if I don't fix it

#

Can just have it for free if you pay delivery

#

Tbh

latent mural
#

ok

#

sure

pale sigil
#

It's not like I can unsodler the switches

#

XD

#

Last time I tried doing that my cap lock no longer works

#

XD

latent mural
#

lol

#

heh

karmic grail
#

dam son

latent mural
#

uhhh

#

should I dm you my adress?

fickle ore
#

can you take my CM storm quickfire rapid (mx reds) + Frosty Flake MCU slotted in?

#

It's broken

#

the port is broken πŸ˜›

latent mural
#

I don't have that much soldering knowledge

#

but I'm sure I can fix it

fickle ore
#

haha Tino, can you fix it

#

Ill think about it and then maybe mail it to you if u want

#

There's a small pcb inside where the microusb -> PC port is on. That port fell off the tiny pcb. If you can fix that its yours lol

latent mural
#

wtf

pale sigil
#

I was considering sending off my 75% to have leds socketed properly and caps fixed

#

But the quote was like Β£30

#

I can live without caps lock and half leds not working πŸ˜‚

latent mural
#

wow

#

well

#

if I can't fix it i'll have my twooting

#

and my masterkeys m

pale sigil
#

Cost me a fortune

latent mural
#

how much are those anyways

pale sigil
#

I was stupid spending so much on my first keyboard build

latent mural
#

never looked up the price of the 60% boards

pale sigil
#

Cost me overall like $200

latent mural
#

reminds me roommate has a mxboard 3.0 with a broken usb header

#

maybe I can fix that too

pale sigil
#

If we include everything

latent mural
#

oof

pale sigil
#

I used a kbd75

#

Lol

karmic grail
#

I kinda wanna build a keyboard

pale sigil
#

Don't do it

karmic grail
#

But the $$$ is just too high for my liking

pale sigil
#

Ain't worth the haddle

#

Unless you get a hot swap pcb

latent mural
#

that's why I'll get the GMMK once the ISO version is out

karmic grail
#

The wooting 1 is already up there on the scale of expensiveness

#

*my scale of expensiveness

pale sigil
#

I have my other wooting in display next to my dead Anne pro, k60 and k65

karmic grail
#

I tried looking for another wooting in an Australian Mechanical keyboard group

pale sigil
#

Somehow I still come back to my wooting one even with my 75% being sat on my desk

karmic grail
#

It was either people looking to build with the switches or my post when I first got it

swift wharf
#

😭

pale sigil
#

Feel kinda bad that I don't use it often

latent mural
#

soo @pale sigil should I dm you my address?

karmic grail
#

THERE IS
5 POSTS OF WOOTING
IN THAT GROUP

#

3 of which is me commenting

pale sigil

Share the group

swift wharf

Holy FUCK someone is 3D printing KEYCAPS

Does anyone know if EU consumer rights extend if you're buying outside of the eu?

reef patrol
#

Nope.

karmic grail
#

These on W1 πŸ˜‚

pale sigil
#

Damn because I was going to see if I can get s replacement or partial refund

latent mural
#

pls no

reef patrol
#

Japan might soon be the exception though, since we're about to get an open trade deal with them.

karmic grail
#

alright getting a set

latent mural
#

those keycaps

karmic grail
#

Look perfect

latent mural
#

japan might become an exception

pale sigil
#

Minecraft when?

latent mural
#

but private import will apparently stays expensive

pale sigil
#

Shall I

#

It's a dram of mine since school

#

To play Minecraft in a lecture theatre

#

Ha

fallow bison
#

Is this even a question callum

pale sigil

Don't even know how to operate or or if I'm allowed

Only ever used the new ones

fallow bison

Lol

Huh wtf my kb is in a different layout

#

what is this

pale sigil
#

I have to do this

#

My dream

#

Nothing is stopping me

swift wharf

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I ordered my wooting 2 in german

#

i forgot

#

fuckkk

karmic grail

swift wharf

"f"

karmic grail
#

You might be able to get it swapped

#

Has it been shipped?

swift wharf
#

naaaa! i want i fast in my house! it can come in chineese, is ok! jus come already

swift wharf
#

but damn.. i'll have to paste some papers on the keycaps

latent mural
#

@latent mural powercolor already said that they ahve no palns but that it may change if there is enough interest in the card

#

@swift wharf why did you order german if you aren't german

karmic grail
#

Alright one of these
Just to fit the "gamepad" theme

fallow bison
#

orrrr you swap the keycaps kenny?

swift wharf
#

@latent mural two things, 1- im portuguese, 2- im not that smartt

latent mural
#

wow

#

well if you are lucky you could still have that changed

fallow bison
#

Are there different symbols on a german kb?

swift wharf
#

hmmmmm swap keycaps seems intelligent, but there is no portuguese caps equal to the originals xD

#

yea! only the symbols change

fallow bison
#

Oh portuguese has different ones

reef patrol
#

Z & Y are swapped. And the symbols underneath the numbers are different. Those are the main label differences

latent mural
#

german has Àâü

fallow bison
#

Try to contect them, if it isnt possible, just change the keycaps

latent mural
#

and more double/tripple layer symbols

swift wharf
#

+*Β΄`~^ΒΊΒͺ-_'?!|«» need these ones xD

reef patrol
#

Ah right.... I'm on Nordic and we have those too, so I always forget to mention them πŸ˜„

fallow bison

Or if ever you want PBT, order the right one ;)

you get most of these

karmic grail
swift wharf
#

lool ^^

fallow bison
#

i want that es escape button

#

as****

karmic grail
#

Imma register and see what it looks like

pale sigil
#

I didn't test minecraft

#

But I did test my ar app

karmic grail
#

We'll the dickbutt keycap looked a bit not to my liking

latent mural
#

doesn't look too good for Radeon VII

reef patrol
#

TLDR: Pricier 2070 that gets hot. Not very competitive

latent mural
#

more like a somewhat sluggish 2080

#

but yes

#

if it was 100$ less than the 2080 it'd be good

#

or even 50$

reef patrol
#

Benchmarks say 2070.

latent mural
#

some yes

#

some no

#

whihc benchmarks are you looking at btw

#

they still have that uneven contact problem the original vega cards had

#

so maybe another reviewer got a bad model

reef patrol
#

Our own. BFV, FC5, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and a few others

latent mural
#

ok

#

GN noticed problems with contact on their card

#

performance is somewhat between 2070 and 2080 usually

karmic grail
#

poor amd

latent mural
#

at least for games

reef patrol
#

It also gets hot - Seriously hot. We saw over 100C in Black Ops.

latent mural
#

oof

#

that is HOT

karmic grail
#

Help

reef patrol
crimson wigeon
#

Oh well

latent mural
#

what did you expect

reef patrol
#

I was hoping it would match the 2080 a bit closer.

latent mural
#

want to order mousefeet for my EC1-B but forgot

karmic grail
#

guys the embargo just lifted I know but can you chill with the videos

#

Maybe needs some driver optimisation just like ryzen

latent mural
#

and I want to order it now but I can't get the paypal sms due to not having any mobile reception i nmy office

karmic grail
#

maybe

latent mural
#

then the release bios is especially bad

karmic grail
#

Only watch optimum tech cause his videos are extreme quality

latent mural
#

but what's the performance with tessellation overridden to x32 in the control panel?
semi serious

#

likely good but irrelevant

#

maybe it jumps up by 5 fps

#

maybe ahead of the 2080

#

I'd like someone to test it but i cant find anyone with a fury/vega card among my contacts

#

get one yourself then

#

just buy a produo

#

just for that? nah

fickle ore
#

7nm and gets hotter and less perf than 2080. Pretty obvious its just a datacenter/compute heavy design

solar hinge

hopefully amd zen 2 trashes intel so AMD can design proper gaming chips

solar hinge
#

well, intel was getting hammered already, but they already had some designs it seems :p

latent mural
#

I don't think AMD's investors would like that, in fact i think Intel or apple will buy RTG

solar hinge

they just want to use their quadcore cash cow some more

AMD usually improves performance via drivers alot more than NVIDIA

#

amd finewine ^^

latent mural
#

well they need to increase it a lot

the card should've been 10% faster at elast at launch

#

The Radeon 7 looks alot like a Radeon Instinct MI50

#

πŸ€”

latent mural
#

But this is a previous MI50 so It's probably as fast as it gets

#

just wait for navi, like for vega, and for fury...

#

anvi isn't high end though

#

well this year's top navi is surely going to be a 1080

#

I hope

#

if you have anything in that range you shouldn't be upgrading to anything anywway

#

needs to be extremely cheap though

karmic grail
#

Inb4 Radeon 5

latent mural
#

if they don't beat Nvidia in any point nobody except fanboys will buy it

karmic grail
#

Rtx2060

#

Big swing from amd with Radeon 7 but for now it's a miss

#

Hopefully driver updates will fix that

latent mural
#

they'd need to make the card 20Β° cooler while improving peroframnce by 10-20%

#

and push prices down by 100$

#

and not increase power usage

#

while also fixing problems in the manufacturing plants which require extreme precision

#

at some point people ahve to admit that it's not a good product

#

the cheapest card on the german market

#

a 2080 is easily 50€ less

#

if not even more

vega 7 is.......not good....at all

pretty much all the offerings right now are garbage

they are so xpencive

Gog my 2080 msi trio for 639 as black friday deal, quite happy with it tbh

zenith sonnet
#

Damn it, AMD

#

At least put a decent cooler on the cards if you make them throttle so hard

#

Well, with reviews that terrible, one might actually be able to buy one of those
Granted AMD got actual stock to sell

toxic jolt
#

I thought they didn't lol

zenith sonnet
#

Suppose it's because of the HBM2, the card never gets above 80Β°C even directly under the die

toxic jolt
#

didn't someone post an article about how rare they were?

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah, it's true

#

There is literally no stock right now

#

Will probably be March until we see the first units trickling in

#

Card looks worse in reviews than it actually seems to be, though

#

That whole 'finewine' thing aside, which is (un-)fortunately true
The card seems to lose like around 10% performance due to thermal throttling

#

Not because the cooler is bad, but because it tries to maintain a really low temp

latent mural
#

"really low temp"

#

at over or at 100Β°C

zenith sonnet
#

Lol, go check out the thermal images at Tom's HW, it literally never passes 80Β°C, even in a torture loop

reef patrol
#

Our card went over 100C

#

With a tiny OC. And it was hot and loud even at stock.

@fallow bison You should consider sticking dense rockwool inside those, they will make your room sound a great deal better you'll have to be a little picky on the fabric you print on

Urgh, the GPU market looks so terrible right now

chrome estuary
#

Yeah but it's not been good forr a few years

plush summit
#

☝

zenith sonnet
#

My 5 year old 290X is still trading blows with the 580, so that'd be more like a modernisation than an upgrade
The VEGA 56/64 aren't quite the power level I want, but a bit too expensive to buy to bridge the gap till next gen
Radeon VII needs to be watercooled and drivers first to be good
And getting a 2070 or 2080 would mean I'd also have to spend some 600€ or so to the a good GSync display with it

#

Oh, and Navi is still a good half a year away, that might fill the gap

#

But by the time it's out we'll probably see rumours of the 'Radeon 8', which is more like the tier I'm looking at

plush summit
#

dont hold your breath

#

things will likely just be expensive from here on out

zenith sonnet
#

So either I'm looking at spending like 2500€ for two 2080s and two displays for both racks
Or wait...

plush summit
#

you gotta have alot of money to throw arround

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah, I'd rather avoid doing that

How long until people will understand that navi isn't planned as a high end product

neat oriole
#

Feel like I need a GPU upgrade. I don’t have enough vram for a lot of my renders

#

Yeah but shits expensive right now

#

I feel like a Vega 7 would be good for my stuff

#

But idk

latent mural
#

I would wait a bit, for the moment 2080 and v7 are evenly priced with 2080 being 8-9% faster over a set of tests

#

However, V7 should get 1-2 driver versions before we can judge it honestly. The performance in DX12 is great, DX11 on par with 2070

zenith sonnet
#

There's a lot of questions
Also, how much perf you can gain with better cooling

reef patrol
#

I don't need better drivers to judge it. It's hot and loud. That's all I need to know πŸ˜„

Investor relations

#

They have to look like they are doing ok

#

if their graphics division is missing in action it looks like a disaster that's burning money

#

Amd doesn't have to announce how many they've sold

#

only how much their gpu division has made

#

and they may even lump it together with semi-custom(consoles etc) which will make them look even better

zenith sonnet
#

They must have had a reason for it
It does help their image to the consumer, even with reviews that leave more to be desired

fair gull
#

v7 is exactly what i expected

#

its short for vega 2 / radeon vii

latent mural
#

v 7 nanometer V II is seven

#

"our 7 nanometer arch is doing fine"

fair gull
#

still think amd did a hotgarbo release

#

nvidia still has a better feature set

zenith sonnet
#

It's called Radeon VII

latent mural
#

maybe they have so many MI50 that no one needed

zenith sonnet
#

No Vega in the official name

fair gull
#

psure its build on vega tech

#

thus the speculations of it maybe having spposed to be named vega 2 (ii)

#

7 doesnt really make sense other than "7nm"

#

thing is if we shorten that to r7 well we have that already

latent mural
#

I don't think companies buying it for solidworks will have any trouble typing that out πŸ˜‰

#

Unless amd no longer has the solidworks advantage :x

zenith sonnet
#

Lol, this review

#

They undervolted the Radeon VII, cut power draw by 70W, without a loss of performance

#

Giving it better perf/watt than the 2080

latent mural
#

where what why

zenith sonnet
latent mural
#

I don't speak telefonmast, hold on

zenith sonnet
#

Apparently they went from 1.05Vcore to 0.95Vcore

#

Without loss of clock speed

latent mural
#

Seems to be a repeating pattern with AMD

#

having a bigger voltage than required

zenith sonnet
#

Don't ask my why...
Would have fixed two of the bigger disadvantages of the card, noise and power draw

#

And but it on the same tier as the 2080 in that regard

latent mural
#

Well they would do it in case of bad binning

zenith sonnet
#

Technically, they are MI50s that didn't make the binning, so...

latent mural
#

Maybe that's one thing that navi will have, figuring out what voltage it needs better

fair gull
#

@latent mural isnt solidworks dominated by quadros

latent mural
#

for a while they would strictly suggest fire pros

#

and it ran better

fair gull
#

idk i checked the scores submitted for 2019 all the top ones are quadros

latent mural
#

well then i guess their lead is gone

fair gull
#

2018 same deal

latent mural
#

the manual for solidworks 2016 still suggests amd cards though

fair gull
#

2016 oof

latent mural
#

2 years in the no-it-department-or-single-manned-it-department somehow means nothing

fair gull
#

same deal in 2016 btw

#

all nvidia cards

#

usually quadros or 1080tis or titans

latent mural
#

certainly having the most benchmark results

fair gull
#

i mean amd had a nice price/perf ratio going but now u could literally just buy an rtx card for the same price and get more

latent mural
#

heh

fair gull
#

wha

#

no

#

lower = better

#

its seconds to render

#

not a score as in points

latent mural
#

im just joking

fair gull
#

was actually ablobsweats

for a second there

latent mural

Well most of the solidworks-station pcs I've seen in the universities here were running either a fire or ..nothing at all, an intel

#

good i dont use solidworks

latent mural
#

yeah the documentation is A certified training course

#

don't dare forget something

latent mural
#

we had solidworks stations at middle school

#

all with fire pros

fair gull
#

i mean they will work its not like they wont work or anything plus they are cheaper than quadros

fickle ore
#

very odd results

zenith sonnet
#

Posted that a few days ago
Basically means don't use if you don't have the hardware already in place

#

Is Nvidia's driver just worse than AMDs, or do they try to make Freesync look worse than GSync? πŸ€”

latent mural
#

Or maybe the 10ms lag adds fps?! blobhyperthinkfast
Imagine if that was true, that would be funny

zenith sonnet
#

FPS vs lag, the sweet spot

latent mural
#

maybe rendering things in a delay already happens in some engines?

#

with a delay and smaller frame rate

#

So uhm, i was looking for β€œslow walk” keyboards. Does anyone here use wooting?

#

How is the reliability?

#

wooting sends xbox controller inputs to the game

#

the keys you choose send the "analogue" data as if it were a thumb stick

#

so the reliability is really "is this game ok with the player using a mouse to aim, keyboard for functions and xbox controller for movement"

#

Thanks, i meant reliability like does it have a warranty or does break after a month or 2?

ashen spindle
#

If you throw it out of your window on the 5th floor daily, maybe

#

otherwise I think I only heard of 1 person having an issue that required them to resend it so far

latent mural
#

Haha. Thanks. What about the β€œactuation” programming? Is it complicated? Im not very tech savvy

#

Is it a plug n play product?

ashen spindle
#

you move a point up or down

latent mural
#

Like a regular gaming mouse with its own programp

#

I need analog keyboard, i thought the optical ones were better but apparently they dont work like analog

pale sigil
#

The Wooting supports native analog but for games that dont support it xinput is used.

latent mural
#

Nicee..

pale sigil
latent mural
#

I need the smooth preset or linear

#

So linear is the best preset for the most accurate slow pressing on the key i guess?

#

Thanks guys

#

the 4 dots are movable

pale sigil
#

if you're referring to cooler masters keyboard, its not their tech, it uses weaker switches and only some switches are analog, its extremely expensive and they aren't as open source.

latent mural
#

Yeah. And I honestly prefer supporting start up companies

pale sigil
#

its more stable but imo and you can say im bias but im not, you're getting more from a Wooting for both cost and reliability.

latent mural
#

My decision is 70% reliability and 30% support for company haha

#

But yeah. U guys sold me on this. Ill now look up how to purchase one

Yup!

i wish id own one

they seem so fuckin good

#

wooting needs to make smth like it

#

wooting z

smoky moat
#

I mostly use the gyro though to basically access a second layer to commands. Different hotkeys and macros. Using it to control aiming and what not kinda makes your aim more unstable.

fair gull
#

it would prob be nice for flight sims

#

and arma etc

#

or somewhat replacing a steering wheel

smoky moat
#

Maybe it works for some people, but using it to lean or control a helicopter in practice just makes everything quite erratic.

fair gull
#

id like to try it cause if i dont like it imma stay with my g100s

fathom lynx
#

I find a regular mouse fine... as long as DPI is changable and clicking is easy its good for me

fair gull
#

i dont even need changeable dpi

#

i just use a g100s cause i can put omron switches in it

#

nice 50mil clicks

smoky moat
#

The macro functionality is a ton of help for windows productivity and the location of all the buttons is really nice for gaming. the gyro and pressure sensitive buttons are kinda an afterthought for me though; but that's mostly because I also use my Wooting and getting analog from both into a game isn't easy.

#

There's an autohotkey script that I have, but it just identifies the controlers as they're defined in windows. so sometimes the Swiftpoint Z is first and sometimes the Wooting is; or maybe some other controller that I have plugged into the computer at the time.

#

Just more trouble than what it's worth to manage it.

#

Would be nice if the Wootility or Swiftpoint drivers could intercept controller input and remap it through their software. Sure there would be a bit of a delay, but there already is through auto hotkey anyway.

fair gull

just make a wooting z
