[fair gull]

i can even switch between all the subtitles and audio tracks

idk why id need more

[zenith sonnet]

It appears that someone is still updating it, so I dunno where that info came from

[fair gull]

maybe cause its 11 years old

but not updated in 2years

which is info found on the official mpchc website

[zenith sonnet]

mpv is 2.9 MiB, MPC-HC is 15.3 MiB

Looks like MPC is the one with all the bloat

[fair gull]

weird the only prebuild i can download is 30mb

and a 7z

https://discordjs.moe/vdc2lpaWKm.png

weird

[zenith sonnet]

I got the size from Wikipedia

[fair gull]

ah yes the most trustable source

the mpv exe is 58mb

my entire mpchc install folder is 47mb

[zenith sonnet]

Size Source code: 2.9 MB (tar.gz)

[fair gull]

source != actual exe

[zenith sonnet]

Like it matters anyway, either is tiny by today's standards

[fair gull]

ah before it was "mpchc seems to be bloated" now its "who cares anyway"

i smell a big fat bias

mpv is 80mb in total with everything

so almost twice as heavy

[zenith sonnet]

The bloat argument came from you
I don't care

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/63oHqwcF5T.png

i just said the dl is 3times as large

no mention of bloat

[zenith sonnet]

and prob has an infinite amount of shit i will not need

What else would that mean?

[fair gull]

its to tell you that a normal user wont need all the extra shit you want from a dumb video player

why not invest into a cinema reel to reel player

and a basement for an actual cinema room

[zenith sonnet]

Either has a lot of shit I'll never need.
I've used both and preferred mpv. Only downside is that it's a little more difficult to use if you don't get built with a GUI for it.

Felt more responsive, IQ seemed slightly better, and it was easier to set up all in all.

[wheat plume]

Found a new terminal emulator to use!!

https://youtu.be/PZPMvTvUf1Y

[wheat plume]

Do it

It ran a command in 14 seconds that the other terminal took 2 minutes to do

[wheat plume]

Hmm

[zenith sonnet]

1% lows in Afterburner are utterly useless

They don't seem to trim the data

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aupKGm8MGAU hm looks like we might have a 3rd ram option for top-ram components if d-dies stays consistent

[fair gull]

and died after 2 months

[ashen spindle]

?

[fair gull]

thats like double the clock isnt it

[ashen spindle]

uh yea and?

[fair gull]

i cant imagine the components doing that for super long

[ashen spindle]

uhh you do know that stuff like 4000mhz or even higher is something you can buy with normal warranty?

[fair gull]

yes but those are designed to run that fast

[ashen spindle]

no they are just tested if it works

its the same chips they buy

[fair gull]

source

[ashen spindle]

look at the catalogue of any ddr4 manufacturer, they don't sell higher than jedec

corsair etc. just bin them

if you need high voltage then yes you run into that issue but those chips just get put at lower voltage in slower kits

https://www.micron.com/products/dram/ddr4-sdram/part-catalog 3200 is the highes you find here yet they are sold in 4000+ kits etc.

[fair gull]

thats like saying "look at intel they dont sell 6ghz cpus yet i run mine that fast" and then just not really mentioning the toll it takes on the hardware

just because smth can run that fast does not mean its designed to

same for the 4000 kits

[ashen spindle]

but overclocking cpu's is kinda the same, if you don't increase the voltage it doesn't really matter because higher voltage is what degrades silicon faster, higher usage not really

its not like you get these 6ghz at stock vcore

ddr4 is safe till like 2volt and iirc most kits run below 1.5 or 1.2 even if youre at 2xxx speeds

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/YN4XogtwTkE

[zenith sonnet]

You can't run DDR4 at 2V...
For B-die 1.5-1.55V is the limit for longevity

[ashen spindle]

ah maybe it was 2v at LN2, not sure, I heard 2v in regards to ram somewhere

[ashen spindle]

ah ye he was talking about 2-2.1 on b die for benchmakring, 1.6 for daily you're right

[zenith sonnet]

2V LN2 sounds reasonable

Also 5GHz LN2 sounds reasonable

[ashen spindle]

that 5ghz ram I linked was on air

[zenith sonnet]

That's crazy

[ashen spindle]

not really, because its not stable but can be validated

but means it could be used for lower speeds at stable timings

[zenith sonnet]

Ah, I was a little off as far as the records are concerned

~6GHz is record
5.1 was for Zen 2, I think

[ashen spindle]

but if a random 2666 rated kit can do 5 at 1.8V it's quite likely good bins of it can be used for 4.x ghz at safer voltage, so we'd have another good module option

[zenith sonnet]

Iirc D-die can do high clocks, but only at fairly loose timings

We'd have to see performance records with it for it to be a good alternative

[ashen spindle]

idk CL24 doesn't seem very loose to me for 5ghz

and he loosend up timings to go higher, not for a stable/best result around

[zenith sonnet]

Gotta stay tuned

DDR5 isn't long off either

[reef patrol]

Ehhh...

It'll definitely be delayed due to the situation in China. And no chipset is slated to use it yet.

[zenith sonnet]

CL24 is pretty loose, though

[ashen spindle]

yes but it's a random stick from ebay rated for only 2666

it's just a case of "hey potentially bins of this version can be used for top modules"

[zenith sonnet]

Isn't D-die 'supposed' to be a successor to B-die anyway?

Like, more advanced process?

Not surprised they needed longer to iron out the process kinks then

[ashen spindle]

wasn't that A die

yea that was a die not d die

[fickle ore]

https://www.kitguru.net/components/leo-waldock/zalman-cnps20x-and-cnps17x-noctua-look-out/

beats noctua d15

[reef patrol]

It's ugly af though

Also "4D"

[fickle ore]

dont look inside my case that much so it's def something I'll buy 😄

for my next build!

[old marlin]

damn that legit looks worse than a D15

also wait like 3 years and noctua will release cooler endgame

although, dual tower NH A14x25 could be close to release

[zenith sonnet]

Now put Noctua fans on it

[reef patrol]

I'm curious to see how Corsairs new non RGB D15 like performs.

Still haven't gotten it out of box.

[zenith sonnet]

Also, need a few more reviews to see if it consistently performs better

If it does, then that's awesome

And we can expect something even better from Noctua in 1-2 years

[reef patrol]

I mean...they just released black coolers.

And they did that because they improved thermals enough for the paint not to do worse than the bare models.

[zenith sonnet]

Is it really painted?

I would have expected it to be galvanised

[reef patrol]

Uhhh... Powder coated? I think?

I think Linus mentioned it in his review or something.

Of that smaller, new super model in the Air vs AIO video

[ashen spindle]

yeah was something like that

[sick creek]

It’s a ceramic coating

[pale sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9t2rFmTVE&feature=youtu.be

gotta give them credit, this was funny.

[reef patrol]

Yes hello hi. I help tests compwutah thing, and you feed me?

[old marlin]

corsair mice

[reef patrol]

AND CPU coolers. 😁

[old marlin]

also that is a spy for snowball

the CPU coolers of them are alright

can't say sht about the aircooler

although it is definetley overpriced

and has no coldplate

[reef patrol]

Time will definitely tell. Putting it up against my D15 with a 8700K.

[old marlin]

true

the only reason I'd want a scimitar would be to make a nutty claw mouse out of it

the sidebuttons are too trash though

also quality is shit

sad that the model o has the highest build quality that comes out of the factory

of the mice I know of

[reef patrol]

I don't like it personally. I can't rest my thumb on the side without hitting s button. Two buttons on the side is plenty for me.

[old marlin]

same

and the ones on the scimitar feel like on a phone from 2007 or something

[reef patrol]

They're tiny. 😅

[old marlin]

yea

and flat

no travel

the only "mmo" mouse that doesn't have that is the razer naga trinity

actually a decent although heavy mouse

and already pretty weight optimized

[ashen spindle]

Got some good recommendations for a cooler for a 3950x? Friend said he’s using a rog ryuo 240 and it‘s not good enough, not too versed in watercooling myself

[old marlin]

oof

360mm doesn't perform a lot better

280 is similar

so either 280 or 360mm if you don't wanna go custom

what you get basicalyl is irrelevant

all asetek

only difference is fans

yea

for 240mm not really

for 280 and 360 surely

also depending on the cooler heat distribution can be worse on air coolers

teh new corsair cooelr for example

no coldplate means your hotspots will be relying on one or two heatpipes

[old marlin]

reminds me @reef patrol you should test the corsair cooler on a higher end ryzen 3000 chip if you have one as well

[reef patrol]

Sorry but no. 😅

[old marlin]

rip

it will likely perform abyssmal with the 3950X

cause it doesn't sue a coldplate

so everything with heatspot that are offcenter will perform worse

and since the 3950X is a chiplet design the hotspot is quite far off the center

so most of the heat is distributed to 1-3 heatpipes

hyper 212 has the same problems with chiplet CPUs

[zenith sonnet]

Wonder how long until we see waterblocks designed for Chiplet CPUs

Also, even with a custom loop my 3700X gets hot

It's just too high heat density

3950X won't fare better

[ashen spindle]

no point, they are all different to make one for all, and it doesnt even really make a difference if it's just a good plate

also he has 60C idle on his so might be some other issue

[zenith sonnet]

For comparison:
3700X has a delta of 32°C under load, at ~90W
My VII has a delta of 8°C, at 200W load

60°C idle is definitely some issue

Reapply the cooler

[ashen spindle]

he did

[zenith sonnet]

Then, run Ryzen Master and see if it idles properly

[ashen spindle]

think he's trying undervolting it a bit and see if that helps

[zenith sonnet]

When the system is idle it shouldn't run more than 1-2 cores at 200-500MHz

If it doesn't, some power options are wonky

And UV does not help

[ashen spindle]

could also just be a cooler issue, he got a different cooler on the way

[zenith sonnet]

Unless it's a manual OC, you cannot control voltage directly

The CPU will sense it gets less voltage, and request more

Max tdp is around 500w

[pale sigil]

Got so used to playing mc at 60-70fps

just oppned d2 for the first time in a while

and im getting that 144hz high again

My god its glorious

modded + 1440p dont mix well

ye not how it works on modded, even if your fps is like 100+

there is so much stutter etc

it feels like 50-60

even with sttings changed

you can be on the lowest settings and it will make 0 difference

because of chunk updates from mods

etc

its a never ending performance battle with modded

[wheat plume]

Plasma!!!

I love that desktop

I think I may change back to it

Gnome is very elegant but boring

Yeh ;_; I loved i3 but setting it up takes too much effort

Yeah....kind of

I love the arco Linux thing they have to give you power options

In regular i3 you can only logout and you need to use the mouse to click the button but in Arco Linux they have a shortcut that gives you a menu that you can use the keyboard on to let you reboot or shut down and whatever

this new line is new

[pale sigil]

this new line is new

[wheat plume]

Yeah...

idk how to feel about this update

[pale sigil]

i like it

kinda

being able to add emojis so easily

[zenith mirage]

I think the highlighting of messages when you mouse over then is kinda ugly, but I like the options they added

[fair gull]

kinda old

[crimson wigeon]

Meh, I do appreciate message spacing being reduced but still no multiwindow

[sudden glacier]

this update is great i can add ricardo so much easier now

it's also memoryleaking if you're using discord in portrait monitors for some reason

i get like 1 fps

why these folding devices

[wheat plume]

this is is so mch more impressive than the galaxy fold

I love this so much

[pale sigil]

yay more richboi phones

[ashen spindle]

hey it means actual useful features might go down in price when stuff like this becomes the halo product

[wheat plume]

Hauwei have the software side on this phone nailed down 100% ❤️

that smooth ass glide when you fold it open when the app fills up the whole screen is stunning

[pale sigil]

id be so scared using that phone

[wheat plume]

why so?

screen getting damaged?

[pale sigil]

so expensive and stuff like the back screen being on a table

[wheat plume]

yup

[pale sigil]

Andjust the idea of folding it

freaks me out

[wheat plume]

o?

[ashen spindle]

meh its just like the first time smartphones came out, with the difference that they had trouble getting bending screens to work on time, after a while it'll be a normal potential feature

[wheat plume]

when we find a way to make a material as tough as glass but bendy then it will change folding phones forever

[thick elk]

Personally I would much prefer a small bezel between the two halves over having a phone that is forced to use plastic which I know will scratch pretty fast.
Especially Huawei's solution with the screen folding outwards.

ZTE did that on one phone and it looks pretty decent.

[old marlin]

small bezel is shit

has been done before is crap

no bezel would be possible rn but get any dirt or sand in it and the screen is dead

they could maybe put a thin glass layer in/on the plastic to increase hardness on the flat areas at least

[thick elk]

I don't think that would be viable.

it also wouldn't protect the most sensitive prone to damage area of the screen

From what I have seen dual screen phone's mostly suffered from software issues rather than a flawed concept. Sure having one app fill both screens is not great but it's essentially a dual monitor setup for a phone.

[pale sigil]

Search is tied to online

its dependent on bing

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/ez8gan/windows_10_search_bar_not_working_after/

Windows 10 QA strikes again

how does something like this get past that

[zenith sonnet]

Meanwhile, another bugfix AMD driver

They're pumping them out at a weekly rate these days

Lets see how long they keep this up

[ashen spindle]

and they no longer list a previously known issue with some vega cards

[ashen spindle]

also, watch out for Big Navi Infro on March 5th

looks like both big navi and ampere are on track for summer-ish launches

but not sure if I'd prefer big navi or ampere to come out first, navi first means we might get lower prices on nvidia's side, other way might cause lower navi prices

[zenith sonnet]

Will it be RDNA2, though?

That's supposedly when things get truly interesting

[ashen spindle]

don't think it will be

doesn't sounds like it from what I've been reading

[feral jolt]

The regedit to remove bing from the taskbar is a godsend. I'm just trying to find a program or file, Bill

[ashen spindle]

ye, it's funny that it also fixes the newest search bug, was wondering what everyone was complaining, as I had already removed bing ages ago so I never got the bug

[feral jolt]

I really wish they'd just made it a control panel setting. And cleaned up the settings while they are at it. Had to explain to several people how to remove the windows 10 mouse smoothing and they get lost every time

[crimson wigeon]

Funny thing is that it used to be an easy toggle in search settings...

[feral jolt]

I should just run an old version of windows 10 with auto updates regedited out next time I have to do a reinstall which is gonna be sooner than later because registry errors are so common in win10

It's really a shit OS and I much preferred windows 7, I should have bought that pricey samsung nvme with working windows 7 drivers or spent the 10 hours of work to figure out how to use that open source project nvme driver and put it in a windows iso

I'd say try it both ways and see what works better for you. TBH I'm not sure what flipping is, so someone else may have to cover for me from now on, but it's at least worth a quick check to find out whether flipping is ok for you or not

Every other other time when booting my computer, I get a BSOD during start-up referencing hyberfil.sys.
I can press F1 - Recovery Options => Advanced => continue to Windows 10, and have no other issues
Any idea what it could be?

[reef patrol]

Sounds like an issue with Hibernation.'

You can try disabling it entirely?

[zenith sonnet]

I don't even use it, so I could
But iirc the hiberfil is also important for crashdumps?

[reef patrol]

The hibernation file is literally just a RAM dump, so it can boot up fast again. So I guess?

[zenith sonnet]

Or was that the pagefile only?

🤔

[reef patrol]

[zenith sonnet]

Anyone ever tried the Ultimate Performance power plan with Ryzen, btw?

[fair gull]

not bios fastboot

[zenith sonnet]

[zenith sonnet]

Is that 'power buttons and lid' under 'power options'?

Found it

Wait, why is restart not affected?

[fickle ore]

no, restart is true boot

shutdown is not unless you disble hibernate and fast boot

[zenith sonnet]

Basically, because you don't really need to when turning it off every evening?

I've never noticed the PC starting faster anyway

[reef patrol]

Correct.

And NVMEs are so fast these days, that the change isn't big. Try doing it on a HDD 😄

[zenith sonnet]

I'm turning off hibernation anyway, though

[fickle ore]

idk, true boot is often good thing. fast boot and hibernate usually accumulate errors in the OS and most bugs are due to that, "user error" except its windows fault

[zenith sonnet]

Makes me ultimately wonder if my System is accumulating errors that only come to light when reloading the hiberfile

[fickle ore]

idk why they dont get rid of fast boot and hibernate with now we all have SSD's -.

[zenith sonnet]

Legacy hardware?

And the Fast Boot in BIOS just seems to load fewer devices during POST

[reef patrol]

Yeah it just skips test steps and checking for bootable devices on USB, Ethernet and so on.

And in the case of a customer PC I worked on yesterday... also NVME

vim is pretty easy once you've learned some basic commands

i don't know all the sweet shortcuts for selecting multiple lines of text and block editing and all that, but find/replace, basic editing, and saving are ez

vi/vim was also built to keep your hands on the keyboard because using the mouse is inefficient

that's why you can use jkl; to move instead of arrow keys when you're outside of editing mode

you literally dont need to take your hands off home row lol

Shouldn't hotkeys nowadays bind to a specific key on the keyboard, not a specific letter?

I've noticed, that most programs I use do it the way I described
Used an entirely custom keyboard layout for a few years, and never had any issues that hotkeys weren't where they were supposed to be
Which also meant, any mnemonism was usually broken

I've used Windows, maybe that's why

Cause Windows already does it that way

And most games use direct key/raw input

Most games will bind to the physical keys where WASD would be on a QWERTY keyboard
In config menu's, they display whatever letter Windows translates this key to

Met very few exceptions to that rule

if trump doesn't win again I hop the dnc winner will do what Warren planned, split them up so we dont have giant tech firms controlling literally everything

but as they already showed they'd rather boycott their own party again, I'm already feeling like trump won the next election already

different topic, but ye, gdpr will make the eu some money, if only there were good plans on how to use it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb2tebYAaOA man talks like this are so interesting, makes me really excited for when next gen intel cpus come out and we get some more in depth interviews with jim

[fair gull]

so amd shit in the future?

[ashen spindle]

What

This has nothing to do with intel or amd performance or whatever

[fair gull]

so interesting, makes me really excited for when next gen intel cpus come out

[ashen spindle]

Because he obviously can’t talk about stuff he’s working on before it’s public

[fair gull]

so this is about performance

[ashen spindle]

Well it’s part of it obviously

But in reverse kinda, if they manage amazing performance uplifts it will be more likely he has interesting topics he can talk about

[fair gull]

so ure more into the research papers coming out of this then

aka the good shit

[ashen spindle]

No I just want more interviews with him after he worked on more stuff because he’s a really smart guy and very good at talking about stuff

[fair gull]

i only listened to like a few minutes but he sounds like an audio book of research papers

like this https://www.math.ucla.edu/~myding/papers/baking_paper_final.pdf

which is cgi baking

OHEMGEE, a ninox astrum update 😮

[old marlin]

really

where

[halcyon moss]

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ninox-astrum-lightweight-modular-gaming-mouse/x/19001942#/updates/allhttps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ninox-astrum-lightweight-modular-gaming-mouse/x/19001942#/updates/all

[old marlin]

nice

[halcyon moss]

he is still alive

[chrome estuary]

Basically it boils down to "Yeah I wanted the project to be done a year ago but now there's a virus fucking over China."

Or I could be wrong and just read it in the form of TLDR

[halcyon moss]

hey im just glad he isnt dead

[old marlin]

well he blames the factory for taking ages to make a tooling

and now can't continue because of corona

basically sounds like he is pushing around who or what to blame

[fair gull]

why does it feel like he wont be able to deliver

i feel like hes waiting for the next thing to blame the wait time on that

[old marlin]

problem is that it was a good mouse at the time of the campaign

but since then mice have nto stopped changing

and caught up at least

80g isn't especially new at basically any size

[old marlin]

I just got informed that more ram for minecraft servers can mean worse performance lol

[dapper ridge]

yes

10gb

is the most you will ever need

and the most you should ever use

java suk

[old marlin]

I hate java so fucking much

I wish it died

completely

[dapper ridge]

same

[fair gull]

the ram thing is only for default server jar tho

papercraft and spigot actually run better with like 16gb or 32gb

[dapper ridge]

from what I've read/experienced it impacts paper spigot and shit

[old marlin]

oh

we run some heavily modded version

[dapper ridge]

ouch

[old marlin]

4 -6 players max

[fair gull]

idk best perf i had so far was paper with 30gb and async chunk gen

[old marlin]

and 128gb of ram

and sheep killed our performance

[dapper ridge]

store them in a 1x1 block

with a vine

having them in vine turns off their collision detection and reduces AI costs

[fair gull]

easy fix dont have sheep

[dapper ridge]

oof

[old marlin]

is something forge

[fair gull]

slaughter them all

[dapper ridge]

forge sucks

for servers

it just does

[fair gull]

yep

[old marlin]

not my decision

somebody wanted to play a certain modpack

[dapper ridge]

had to do some massive work on trying to reduce lag for a forge server I was running

[old marlin]

which apparently is hard t oset up

[dapper ridge]

we had to remove a lot of mods

thankfully tho

forge has some good tps mangement shit

and you can really pinpoint what is causing your performance drops

[fair gull]

i run all my mc servers with nodejs

[dapper ridge]

nasty

why not write your own implementation of the minecraft server in javascript

[fair gull]

thats what the weird minecraft node shit already does

[old marlin]

please switch to something performance oriented

[fair gull]

its actually nice for having bots in vanilla mc

actually for bots in geberal

*general

[dapper ridge]

I prefer humans

[fair gull]

they can connect to any server without needing mods etc

but ya nodejs isnt made for this kinda stuff

[dapper ridge]

is java?

[fair gull]

i wish there was an open source c# mc project thats up to date

fuck java

[dapper ridge]

I wish the C++ version was less

different

[fair gull]

just wish there was a c# ver that works with the current java servers

as in same protocol etc

same algos

[dapper ridge]

I wish it did not take a super computer to run minecraft with good performance

[fair gull]

same

[dapper ridge]

oh well

it's still fun

[fair gull]

eh

pwnie island was better

[dapper ridge]

[ashen spindle]

any recommnedations for a 1440p VA monitor? gsynch or at least gsynch compatible, 27' ideal but 32 might work too

[ashen spindle]

which I've already done and thus am looking for cross referencing stuff

[reef patrol]

My AOC ticks those boxes except gsync 😞

[thick elk]

I would generally recommend against monitors with the gsync module, as they will be limited if you ever switch of nvidia.
They are changing that with future monitors but older ones I would not recommend. Also the price will probably be such that they are a bad choice anyway.

[ashen spindle]

not for me, work colleague who has 2 980ti's in sli

[reef patrol]

Uh no, qlum? The gsync is a toggle module.

It isn't on unless you want it to.

They aren't limited though.

That's like saying ANY monitor is limited.

😄

That his cautionary tale is moot.

Most high end monitors don't even HAVE dedicated gsync modules. The tech has superceded them.

[thick elk]

The problem I am pointing out is that in the current monitors with gsync modules adaptive sync is locked to just Nvidia. They recently changed that for future monitors but what already exists does not benefit.

[reef patrol]

No?

It's all software at this point

They have their own syncs 😁

Not that most people use or need either. Gsync is most effective at low FPS. Which still doesn't harmonize with the cost of a 144-240hz monitor setup.

[ashen spindle]

still helps against tearing even at higher fps etc.

though the main point I was looking at was VA and 1440p, not high refresh rate

[reef patrol]

It doesn't work any better than vsync though to be honest.

At those frame rates***

[ashen spindle]

yes but for input lag its better

[reef patrol]

Input lag is such a buzzword. 😁

[ashen spindle]

its not gigantic differences ofc

[reef patrol]

Not to mention most games offer engine FPS limits these days which eliminate the need for syncing altogether.

Not when it's negligible. Unless you're a true pedant. At which point you've already bought that Gsync monitor and nVidia card.

[ashen spindle]

yesn't because max fps=refresh rate is not always the ideal setup, at least in games like csgo/tf2

[reef patrol]

Of course it is.

Don't confuse opinion with facts.

[ashen spindle]

no there have been people spending way too much time in the source engine, figuring out that stuff like 101 fps for 100hz or exact double max fps of hz is better etc.

[reef patrol]

Besides we kind of went way off track compared to the initial tooic.

Lemme know when you've got some high speed footage of that. It'd love to compare.

[ashen spindle]

it's been years since I played tf2 competitively and looked at that, don't know if I could find the old threads again

[reef patrol]

Beside csgoy is a whole other beast. You'll want a 240hz panel and be running the game at something like 800x600 low. If not 4:3

Pffft... Keep offering up empty arguments and you'll tire out the other side I guess.

Pedantry abound.

[ashen spindle]

usually I'd agree with mansen, it still confuses me how source works that it's different here

part of it is because it plays together with the network, not just rendering alone. that causes these desired fps limits

[reef patrol]

Anyhoo. To return to the original point.

Choosing not to buy a Gsync capable monitor in 2020 on the basis of "you'll be limited" is factually wrong and a tad silly.

Ever since nVidia opened theoretical Gsync support on all monitors, provided circuitry can handle it (spoiler my monitor cannot in spite of being 1440p 144hz) makes all monitors "Gsync" in spirit.

The companies who use dedicated gsync modules as a sales pitch are trying to burn off stock before the market catches on and Gsync becomes a "gamer monitor" expected feature at the lowest price points.

Now...I've got pancakes to make.

[ashen spindle]

ye, anyway, tagging @old marlin as you're the only one I remember talking about monitors a lot here: any suggestion for VA 1440p monitor, 27" preferred, should have gsync or be compatible at least

[old marlin]

why VA though

Xeanoa knows more about monitors than I d

[ashen spindle]

dark room, VA should be better for that

[old marlin]

afaik for 1440p the LG UltraGear 27GL850-B should still be king

[ashen spindle]

at least that's what I've been able to find about ips vs va, that the later one offers better contrast for usage in rooms without much light

[old marlin]

IPS though

best IPS on the market afaik though

[pale sigil]

IPS is bae

and still making TN panels

[old marlin]

yea that is basically what LG does

getting the best thing at every pricepoint

some exceptions with asus in the very high end

and some alienware mixed in with competitive prices

[ashen spindle]

yea but they mostly just use the same panel as other good monitors and thats why they are good, they dont do anything special

[old marlin]

yea

[reef patrol]

IPS and VA have their strong points and weaknesses.

[old marlin]

dunno if anybody uses the nano-IPS panels atm

well yea

LGs current IPS panels get rid of most downsides

[reef patrol]

IPS has better colour range, but VA has better contrast and light.

[crimson wigeon]

And that nasty smearing effect when transitioning from blacks

[ashen spindle]

well guess well try to find something at work tomorrow then, actually surprised how hard that combo is to find even, really thought there would be more va panels now, tftcentral even only has one model they reviewed that fits 16:9 criteria lmao

[wheat plume]

[zenith sonnet]

@old marlin @ashen spindle Dark scenes in a dark room is literally the only thing the 27GL850 sucks at

[pale sigil]

wot

never had an issue with dark scenes

[zenith sonnet]

You got that specific monitor?

[pale sigil]

Oh sorry, you meant the monitor

[zenith sonnet]

Reason I recommend it anyway is, that it's still the only VRR monitor that has a overdrive setting that covers its whole VRR range

[pale sigil]

i got lucky with my monitor... Freesync/Gsync, 1440p/144hz

27"

great brightness levels

hdr

270 quid

[zenith sonnet]

Other than specific models with a g-sync module (adaptive overdrive is the only about it that's actually good)

[pale sigil]

mine has overdrive but idk how it works or what it does

[zenith sonnet]

Overdrive reduces pixel response time

Most monitors have a few settings, all of which cover some FPS bands best

Like, 'Normal' could be good for 60-100Hz, 'Fast' could be good for 120-144Hz, and 'Faster' could be fastest, but introduce so much overshoot that it's literally unusable

[pale sigil]

So what should i be doing

xD

[zenith sonnet]

Read a good review about your monitor that tests these settings

If in doubt, use 'Normal' for 60 Hz content, and 'Fast' for 144Hz content

[pale sigil]

xD

[zenith sonnet]

@ashen spindle https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/optix-mpg27cq
There are probably more VA than IPS models being released, even for 144Hz WQHD
Thing is, there are very few reviewers that do decent reviews, and they cover at best 10% of the models
That one is one of the best VA monitors out there, it seems. At least for gaming

Unfortunately, they don' test overdrive and pixel response very well. Only at max refresh rate, which does not give you anything about it performs with VRR

@pale sigil Keep it on normal... extreme might work if you're at 144Hz stable

[pale sigil]

wow

its so much smoother

wtf

[zenith sonnet]

[pale sigil]

minecraft

i had so much stutter

etc

and as soon as i turned that on

bam

how is that possible

[zenith sonnet]

It should not affect stutter

But your monitor might now actually be able to display a frame fully before the next one arrives

[ashen spindle]

@zenith sonnet ye we saw that monitor, but the issue is VRR on nvidia only works on Turing cards, and the system is running 980ti in sli

[old marlin]

Btw new galaxy fold has a glass sheet on the display

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

could at least fix the most obvious flaws

[zenith sonnet]

Wait, what? Nvidia 900 series can't do adaptive sync?

[ashen spindle]

turing only

[halcyon moss]

it can on nsync right ?:p

[zenith sonnet]

That's sad

I think even the good old 7970 can do adaptive sync...

[thick elk]

@ashen spindle Uh no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_G-Sync

from the 600 series it is supported

I am using it on pascal right now

[ashen spindle]

.. we're not talking about the gsynch feature via displazport

nvidia finally opend up their cards to use VRR via HDMI on non g-sync monitors, but that is only unlocked for turing

[zenith sonnet]

Why would you ever use HDMI over DP?

The only use for this is TVs that don't have DP

And that means you can use VRR on the 980 Ti's

[zenith sonnet]

Core i9-10900K: 10c/20t, 3.7 GHz base, 5.3 GHz boost, 4.8 GHz all-core, 125 W, 20 MB L3
Core i9-10900: 10c/20t, 2.8 GHz base, 5.2 GHz boost, 4.5 GHz all-core, 65 W, 20 MB L3
Core i7-10700K: 8c/16t, 3.8 GHz base, 5.1 GHz boost, 4.7 GHz all-core, 125 W, 16 MB L3, a new leak puts the boost clock at 5.3 GHz

God damn it, Intel, even AMD stopped this shit after the 9590

[thick elk]

Intel actually does not care. Honestly the brand is mostly carried by the i3-9 label not by the actual part number. Maybe the xth gen but that's about it.
With amd / nvidia the number matters a lot more for marketing so doing what intel is doing just doesn't work as well.

people who actually think about it will understand it anyway.

[zenith sonnet]

I'm not talking about the model numbers

[thick elk]

Ah though the model numbers are often a point of critique as well.

[zenith sonnet]

Well, intel is using what, 3 systems concurrently now?

Anyway, I was talking about the boost blocks

And: that TPD is still at base clock...

[thick elk]

Intel makes the turbo with the thought of giving a quick performance boost for things like loading webpages or other Bursty workloads.
Most intel systems do actually work like that and follow the tdp pretty well. Just the niche we care about we just let it turbo for as long as it doesn't overheat. Throwing efficiency out of the window. Your average OEM system won't do that.

[zenith sonnet]

But it's genius for benchmarks

And those get you sales

[thick elk]

If that where the case intel would have have it share in sales drop a lot faster than it actually does. OEM systems are still big business and are still a very large portion of sales. This is a case where reputation and perception still reign supreme.

[zenith sonnet]

Yeah, apparently it'll draw 300W+ at 5.3 GHz

Good luck with that

[thick elk]

Let's at least hope the pricing is decent

[zenith sonnet]

Maybe they'll slash their consumer CPU prices by 50%, like with HEDT

[thick elk]

I'd say if they keep the current 9900k price which is a little bit above the 3900x it should be fine. Gaming performance is a bit better but you lose 2 cores and you will pay with your electricity bill.

[reef patrol]

sneaks in 9900KF

[zenith sonnet]

@thick elk I'm not even sure gaming performance is so much better

[thick elk]

a bit like I said

[reef patrol]

It's still a popular CSGO chip 😄

[zenith sonnet]

Does it really matter whether you get 500 or 700 FPS?

[reef patrol]

You'd be surprised 😄

[zenith sonnet]

@reef patrol Do you have 3Dmark physics scores for your 9900K?

[reef patrol]

I mean as soon as you see high refresh rate, even on desktop, it hsould be clear

[slow silo]

Jump from 60hz to 240 was night and day.

[reef patrol]

60 to 144 is amazing. From there upwards is a lot less noticeable in games for me.

[zenith mirage]

I'll be honest, the thing I noticed most going from 60 to 144 was how smooth the cursor was on my desktop

I really couldn't see much of a difference in games, until I went back down to 60

[pale sigil]

Well that's worrying

I did not use it and I don't know what used my entire battery up!

[reef patrol]

[thick elk]

From my experience the build in battery usage stats are pretty worthless in android right now.

Had a huge battery drain due to the media scanner failing on my sd card nothing of note in the battery states.
Used some root app to see how long processes kept my phone awake / looked at cpu usage. There I found the problem and after that the fix was an easy .nomedia file.

Love my phones battery so much

[quaint pilot]

Just realised since having a Wooting Two my wireless Xbox 360 controller no longer works in any games. Solutions?

[quaint pilot]

Great. thanks a lot, now my keyboard is a dead brick. Tried enabling Xinput again buy now my keyboard doesn't work at all. Have tried unplugging and replugging, uninstalling/reinstalling, removing Wootility, reinstalling Wootility, rebooting... nothing. Had to dig an old keyboard out just so I could type this. Now I've had to request an RMA from Wooting to have it repaired!! 🤬

[patent glacier]

Sometimes a quick restore can fix your Wooting, so here is how to restore: https://wooting.helpscoutdocs.com/article/16-restore-the-wooting

[ashen spindle]

yeah you're not gonna brick the wooting with just that, it's just that sadly drivers and such can cause issues sometimes that need resets. also since wootility is only used to configure the keyboard, it's unlikely you need to reinstall it to fix stuff

[quaint pilot]

Not working. Did the restore bit, held down Mode and Numpad Enter, clicked on Restore ISO, not all of the green bar fills. Lights come back on but keys still not typing anything. If I click Test connection it says "Whoops there is still a connection issue". I have another keyboard plugging while doing all this so I can still type here.

Have plugged into USB 2.0 next to it on back of PC, now lights are on the default pattern but still not typing anything.

they're both USB 2.0. I have no free USB 3.0 ports.

[ashen spindle]

but did you try restoring it on the other port? also I assume you did check, but just in case, it's not on an analog profile with digital keys disabled?

also, try #archived_helpdesk_for_keyboards , the people active there are more familiar with issues

[quaint pilot]

tried restoring on two differnt USB 2.0 ports about 8 times

It says firmware 1.26.1, serial A01B1929W021H00371 and Wootility version 3.3.3

Is this guide still ok to follow for a Wooting Two?

Phew! that's a relief!! Working again now. Man that was scary. Guess I won't be trying to get my 360 controller working again - not if I have to go through this rigmarole again. Thanks for your helps!

[ashen spindle]

but in any case you won't break your wooting that easily, I think it's mostly just windows drivers not being as easy to work with that cause potential issues

[quaint pilot]

Well the controller still doesn't work. Would plugging an Xbox One controller in wired work? One came with my Oculus Rift but I've never been able to use it since the dongle doesn't work in Windows 7. Mind you neither does Rift any more.

I don't use a controller very often, only for RetroArch.

[ashen spindle]

all I can say is that I have no issues when using my ps4 controller and setting xinput to disabled, didn't have any issues so far with that, but im on win10 not 7

[quaint pilot]

Probably that then. My W2 is slot 1

Yeah about that, last time I disabled Xinput everything went to shit.

Well I do need to get Windows 10 already so I guess it'll have to wait for another day. Lucky me, Microsoft extended support until September, at least they have in the NHS so I guess that works for me at home too.

And since I know I can't completely brick it, I guess I could try Xinput again. Another day though! Thanks everyone.

[ashen spindle]

np and good luck

[quaint pilot]

Well now, ain't that something? Before shutting down for the night I thought I'd try the Xbox One controller again, knowing full well the wireless dongle doesn't work in Windows 7. It installed this time and it also works! And so does the Wooting Two! YIPEE!!

rip unitymedia

[ashen spindle]

?

Oh found it, damn

Let’s hope nothing does change indeed for me, I like what I got

[old marlin]

probably not for now

new gigabit connection from vodafone is 40 euros

so twice as expensive as unitymedia apparently

[ashen spindle]

Only have 120 anyway, don’t really need more

[old marlin]

I have 100

if I could get more I probably would

[zenith mirage]

so i just bought a 2070, never owned an nvidia card. Are there any hijinks with their drivers? I thought i remember reading that they bundle stuff with them and you have to work around it a bit

Am i remembering wrong?

[old marlin]

you can dowload drivers separatly

but nvidia tries to force experience onto you

which tries to fuck with your settings

[zenith mirage]

so is going through their website and getting the game ready drivers fine?

the only part of experience that i think i'd be missing out on is ansel

hmmm

[old marlin]

screenshot tool

[zenith mirage]

yep

lets you do some fancy stuff

[old marlin]

I think you still get it, not sure

yea like wallhacking in witcher 3

[zenith mirage]

can take 360 screenshots which you can pan around in

although, i think you have to upload them to do that? Not sure

[old marlin]

dunno

[zenith mirage]

guess i'll find out

Anyway, if im reading the price chart right here, i just got the card at an all time low

for amazon anyway

which is quite nice

that is from warehouse stock, but my whole PC was build from there so i don't have an issue with that

actually yes i was reading it wrong, 2nd lowest price ever. I can live with that

[zenith sonnet]

@zenith mirage TPU got a 'clean installer' for Nvidia drivers that can also enable MSI mode

[zenith mirage]

what is MSI mode?

sorry if i'm being dense here

okay looking at the site, i think i get it. Cheers :))

[zenith sonnet]

Eh, tbh I forgot half of it, but it's good
@fickle ore knows more, lol

@zenith mirage Also, VERY IMPORTANT: if you switch brands, use DDU in safe mode to uninstall the old drivers first

[zenith mirage]

aye, was just reading up on that

i feel like this is much harder in my mind than it will be in reality

[zenith sonnet]

It really isn't difficult

Like 4 clicks

You can get a lot of issues with old files that were installed by first or third party software

Like black screen issues you hear so so much about atm

Blame Windows

[feral jolt]

Geforce experience is a must have for me now with nvidia freestyle

The sharpening and the details enhancements are great

Everything looks fuzzy without sharpening now

1 click gamma adjustments in game are pretty nice as well

[reef patrol]

I'll pass on the obnoxious malware. 😂

[wheat plume]

Accidently got the corner of my monitor screen when plugging in my phone charger

The screen goes blank
Noise starts coming from the monitor

Panicks ://

Unplugs the monitor
Plugs back in same issues

Then leave it a while
Come back plug in again.
No noise this time

Then the screen comes back on too

[feral jolt]

i used to have a monitor that wouldnt turn on if my room was too cold

i live in the attic so it can be about 12c up here in the winter unless i run a heater and i dont run it at night

[warped wind]

hmm https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/rtx-cyberpunk-2077-limited-edition-graphics-card

[reef patrol]

Meh - Unscrew the backplate and cooler from a regular RTX card and just paint it or have it vinyled.

[warped wind]

did expect a bit more yellow myself if i may say

first world problems 😛

[warped wind]

a bit concerning that they can't math tho

[zenith sonnet]

How so?

[warped wind]

they "made" 77 cards and give away pairs?

[ashen spindle]

they didn't say they are giving away all 77 that way

[zenith sonnet]

Person A tags Person B who tags Person 3
Do all three get one each, or person B get two?

[ashen spindle]

and there is no person 3 idk where you got that from

[zenith sonnet]

?

[ashen spindle]

a tags b and thats it

[reef patrol]

The worst thing is... it's a reference card.

[zenith sonnet]

C'mon now
B can still tag a third person

[ashen spindle]

okay but that would then mean b retweeted it and independently tagged person C, so B and C would get it, not A

yea its more of a collectors item I'd say

get it, watercool it, put it on a 2060 or wherever the shroud fits, ez

[latent mural]

calling FE a reference card akin to blower style cards is a stretch, they have power delivery and cooling system as good as any other OEM card

[ashen spindle]

uhhh it's from nvidia using the reference design? also FE/ref has been swapped so many times now and used by both vendors, it's the same thing

[pale sigil]

i would like to redeem my winning card sir

would be so nice

[reef patrol]

I need better keycaps for this...

[old marlin]

yup

and a better mouse

[reef patrol]

It's actually not bad. Bit heavy but I much prefer this dark core to the scimitar.

12 buttons on the side

[old marlin]

idk why you'd need so many buttons on a mouse

dark core is probably one of the better corsair shapes

doesn't say much since most are basically the worst shapes you could imagine

and bad ODM internals

[reef patrol]

Twas free

[old marlin]

well can't complain then

[old marlin]

maglev trains got another chance in germany

only for for airport travel, so no 500km/h+ bullet trains but at least we have a chance to get them back

[ashen spindle]

Tried to upgrade ram at work pc, didn’t like 4 ram sticks

So we thought maybe bios update helps bc it’s on the release bios still

Then we see the msi m flash didn’t find the bios file

Took us a while to find out it’s an OEM Board with custom bios so we now send support an email bc the website obviously doesn’t have a bios download part

Granted the normal bios should work just fine, but we’d rather play it safe on the work pc

[old marlin]

ye

I love it when they do that

we once had an "industrial" z170 board

which claimed kaby lake support

but the bios that they claimed that added it didn't do it

[old marlin]

uhhhm

I think my brother has

but you can usually set them up to act as two monitors

[old marlin]

what OS do you use?
