Much better sound

#

but no the audiophile community do not love them and if they did its purely for ad money from referrals on amazon lul

Notice how they rarely review itms they cant add amazon buttons for?

wheat plume
#

I like the tint

#

but not too strong

shadow minnow
#

Wired. But out of wireless most I watched reviews of compared them to cheaper Sonys, bit better but not worth it

wheat plume
#

IntelliJ also does a tour, but you also get told to install a JDK, which is good

cursive summit
#

Tfw you realize that

#

HD 600 and a Bluetooth DAC/AMP is 0.5x the cost for infinite x the performance

astral haven
#

Yes
They say this
Not that they sound good
Compared to serious headphones they sound bad

#

Heck
I own a set of wireless headphones that slaughter them and are 10 years old lmao

#

Tho obviously the airpods have better anc considering they are open backs lol

cursive summit
#

A simple example why wireless audio is shit

#

Compare top of the line, WF4, AirPods 3 or whatever mic

#

To a 5$ wired iem mic

#

5$ legit wins

#

Wireless codec just isn't there yet

#

Although good things have been said about the new qualcomm lossless tech

astral haven
wheat plume
#

dual cabled headset?

#

wat

astral haven
#

Headset that has separate headphones and mic cable

wheat plume
#

o.o I see, never saw that before

astral haven
#

Sennheiser PC series is all that

cursive summit
#

Why'd multiple manufacturers nerf their product lines

astral haven
cursive summit
#

"cheap"?

#

Last I checked top of the line wireless was hundreds of dollars

#

Not that cheap

astral haven
#

1 Bluetooth chip rather than 2

#

The bom on $400 headsets is like $60

#

So a pair of $12 chips rather than just 1 would hurt bad

chrome estuary
#

Hold on... When are HD600/6XX a "Fraction of the cost"?

#

Airpod Max are like 500$
HD6XX were 300-400 from what I remember

astral haven
#

1/2 is a fraction
$300 is half of $600

cursive summit
#

6XX are like 220$ on a normal day

#

Pair 6XX which is like 220$ off of Massdrop and what, a 80$ or so BTR5

chrome estuary
#

When I hear "fraction of the cost" I think like 100$ compared to 600$

cursive summit
#

300$ package

#

Better sound

chrome estuary
#

Btr5 is 120$ last I checked

cursive summit
#

Like I BET my ass that HD580 with BTR5 still sounds better

chrome estuary
#

Yeah of course they're gonna be better but the wording is still misleading.

cursive summit
#

I don't remember saying the word fraction

astral haven
#

Lana did

cursive summit
#

Ah

#

Nah I specified specifically, 1/2

#

0.5x

astral haven
#

Wait no pleasant not lana

chrome estuary
#

Pleasant did yeah

cursive summit
#

Idk how about you lads but I see no reason to buy overpriced shitty hardware that are Apple's maxes

astral haven
#

Imo the bigger problem is you can get better sound for about $50 by getting chus, a few eartips to figure out what you like and a $12 by receiver

cursive summit
#

Speaking about moondrop

#

New headphones end of July

astral haven
cursive summit
#

Really interested in how those will be

#

The electrostats don't appear interesting

#

A bit expensive

#

But the 699 planars and 199$ dynamics are hella interesting

#

If a 200$ headphone compares to HD800 jesus christ, that'll be end of the world for audio

astral haven
#

What

cursive summit
#

Moondrop's launching 3 headphones this season

#

I think 3, electrostats might be end of year

#

199$ dynamic driver, 699 planar and 999 electrostats

#

The dynamic's FR was compared to HD 800

#

Looks really clean

astral haven
#

It is 2022 lol
Hd800 has not been the benchmark of audio quality for quite a few years

cursive summit
#

It's the benchmark typically for a great headphone

astral haven
#

It's the bar that any headphone has to pass over $500 to be considered good

#

It is the baseline
Not the benchmark

wheat plume
#

I like this setup xd

chrome estuary
#

eh

ashen spindle
#

you can just put it into a white case

#

but nothing planned in that regard as we know it

#

assuming they are the same type (which they most likely are) yes

#

if its cherry mx compatible keycaps they will fit

#

not sure how to describe it

#

its linear, so not tactile bump

#

think so, never used cherry but its just a linear switch so smooth start to finish

#

wouldn't make much sense since you can set the actuation point

#

but a tactile bump is set and cant really be changed

pale sigil
#

how strange

#

i got as instruction manual with usb c cables

reef patrol
#

use this end on PC

cursive summit
#

It types

#

It.. writes?

#

It lekkers

#

It hall effects

#

Idk what else can it do

#

It's a keyboard

astral haven
#

lekker edition is the color

cursive summit
#

And a fantastic one at that

#

Like what carmonben said

#

Lekker edition is a special edition of HE keyboards

#

The fancy keycap colour

astral haven
#

too late for them 🤷

cursive summit
#

Lekker switch is the special switch

ashen spindle
#

limited edition to kickstart development for the HE boards

#

thats the lekker

frozen ingot
#

two HE is identical except for the keycaps afaik

cursive summit
#

But yeah it's been a while since that has ended

#

60HE?

#

Fancy

ashen spindle
#

also its not tkl, lekker is fullsize like the 2HE

astral haven
#

yes

ashen spindle
#

yes

astral haven
#

arrow keys?

cursive summit
#

Cause they need the space

astral haven
#

function keys?

#

nav cluster?

cursive summit
#

Me

astral haven
#

me

frozen ingot
#

is it actually a small table or what seems to be the modern definition of a small table which is approx a football field

ashen spindle
#

same reason people would get a 60% instead off fullsize

cursive summit
#

And I also need the arrow keys

#

And I also need the numpad but I run TKL anyways lul

astral haven
#

thats already in use for tab switching

cursive summit
#

Wtf

#

Alt tab?

#

Hello?

ashen spindle
#

alt tab does not switch tabs..

frozen ingot
#

I'm pretty cramped here but I do make room for a fullsize

ashen spindle
#

that switches programs

cursive summit
#

Ahh tab, not window switching

#

Soz

astral haven
#

ctrl + number switches to that tab in your browser

#

you would use fn + number

frozen ingot
#

I'm a bit intrigued to try out something smaller

#

have only owned fullsize for like 30 years

cursive summit
#

Just get younger

#

60HE is virtually unusable for not gamer people

frozen ingot
#

I'm tempted to get a 60HE and see if I could stand living with just 60% and function layers

astral haven
#

96% is 99 keys

ashen spindle
#

you dont just get random boardsizes either.. so no you would not get half a key

frozen ingot
#

they didn't really exist to any larger extent until I was like 20

#

yeah grew up using the arrow and numpad keys a lot too but I don't do that as much any longer so 60% might work, kinda worse losing the F keys to me now

#

yes, F1-F12

#

above the number keys

#

I know

cursive summit
#

As an Arma 3 and similar game player, I need numpad, F and literally all the other keys lul

frozen ingot
#

just a bit inconvenient doing the fn tning

#

same with star citizen, not even a fullsize has enough keys for all the binds

ashen spindle
#

you can get used to it, it's still limited in what it can do

cursive summit
#

Let's just say

#

You need a lot of keys

#

That 60HE doesn't have

astral haven
#

i do work on my keyboard...
most keyboard keys are there for a reason...

frozen ingot
#

if you mostly do wasd fps gaming then a 60% is probably well enough

astral haven
#

🤷 i use the same setup for working at home and gaming

#

dont have the space for that

#

i have the space for 2 mice tho lol

frozen ingot
#

I dunno, it doesn't have any speakers

Deep dive into the outstanding Wooting 60HE keyboard. This has a lot of things going on I've never seen in a keyboard and solves a lot of the issues people have with prior analog keyboards. There's plenty of feat...

▶ Play video
astral haven
#

The keyboard + mousepad width is exactly the width of my desk and it's great

#

the wooting is just sliiightly too wide for me :/

#

but 60% is just sooooo limiting

#

you have never needed arrow keys?

ashen spindle
#

especiall arrow keys while needing to press other keys can be a struggle

astral haven
#

spreadsheet data entry is a pain without number cluster and arrows

fair gull
astral haven
#

me too

#

but

#

bigger desk eats into the space that I used to set aside for vr but now dont use because im too lazy

fair gull
#

i do vr in another room lol

astral haven
#

im not doing vr in my bathroom
and my closet is full of clothes

frozen ingot
#

I got a bunch of rack gear on my desk behind my monitor I should probably move elsewhere

#

but can't be arsed lol

astral haven
#

my pc is sitting on a switch because I dont have space for a rack

frozen ingot
#

I have to put my second monitor on top of the left speaker because there's no space for it elsewhere

#

👌🏻 dogekek

ashen spindle
#

that reminds me, can anyone recommend me an HDMI extension cable that works on an oculus and not lack so that I get no image?

astral haven
#

the fan was loud so I took it apart 4 years ago to check what type of fan it can take
and I unplugged the fan then
I havent taken it apart since
its a 180w switch
completely fanless

crimson wigeon
#

Mmm, toasty

astral haven
#

its still alive which means its fine lol

frozen ingot
#

nah is fine fam, capacitors love heat

astral haven
#

right now nothing

frozen ingot
#

if you can stand waiting for the ARM I'd get that

#

since its the more "futureproof" version, but they won't really differ until 2024 earliest

#

as of now ARM allows for a few more wootility user templates stored on the actual board iirc

shadow minnow
# cursive summit 5$ legit wins

That is very unlikely.
Like wireless codec is rather limiting but won’t make badly calibrated mic better, also noice cancelation

cursive summit
#

How is that unlikely if that's literally the case lul

frozen ingot
#

basically you have 4 slots for your custom setups for different games, 1 digital and 3 analog

#

that's stored inside the keyboard memory

cursive summit
#

Go see the recordings of sub-10$ KZ's and Apple's airpods 3

#

KZ's sound much better

frozen ingot
#

ARM supposedly has more memory for storing a couple more setups

shadow minnow
shadow minnow
cursive summit
#

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Maxes also sound like shit

frozen ingot
#

and potentially in the future the extra cpu power of ARM would allow for more functionality than the AVR

#

exactly what though we have no idea yet

cursive summit
#

Quick listen to maxes recording

#

They sound worse lul

astral haven
cursive summit
#

There are benefits to wireless

#

But sound quality isn't one of them

astral haven
#

^

cursive summit
#

In fact they suck at sound quality

#

With wireless the sound quality went back in time like 40 years

astral haven
#

1 direction you can just about get lossless

#

and youve been able to do that for about 10 years

#

but bidi lossless wireless audio hasnt been done

#

i mean outside of network audio

frozen ingot
#

its already an insane keyboard, leaps ahead the competition

astral haven
#

also holy crap
I just got these ndh20s and they are insano
the imaging is so precise, and I dont hear any resonance even tho they are closed back

#

they are $400 and they entirely slaughter the hd820s

#

it is crazy to think that the hd820 and this are made by the same company

cursive summit
#

Are we thinking about the same HD 820s here? lul

astral haven
#

you wont notice the differenec

cursive summit
#

Now I learned HD820s are closed back

#

Yeah not surprising

#

Closed backs are a tough sell in over-200$ category

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

for a second I thought you talked about a noctua with that name

astral haven
#

lel

cursive summit
#

Noctuas do sound amazing mm

astral haven
#

obviously they dont add any soundstage to anything
but for music that has soundstage it recreates it perfectly

#

when I was trying the hd820s I couldnt use them for more than 5 minutes, they sounded like they were trying to compress the soundstage back into your head for certain frequencies, and pull it out for others

pale sigil
#

that was quick

ashen spindle
#

dead already?

pale sigil
#

no, worse.

#

A scratch

astral haven
#

??
a scratch is a muuuuch cheaper fix lol

fair gull
#

this barely visible one?

#

oh no

#

plastic scratched

#

what will we do

crimson wigeon
#

Time to demand a new one

pale sigil

#

you can always buy direct from dell if you want

#

its just more money

junior ore
#

def dont buy from china

#

don't even buy from a seller from amazon that has a chinese name. I still get fakes even from there.

LOL

#

cauise you told me.. xd

#

I also like it, cause it doesnt get tricked by fake extensions like Windows does and shows the correct previews

astral haven
#

the proooblem is that it would get tricked by fake file contents, even if the extension was correct...

#

with windows
if its an exe, it will get executed so you know not to click on it

why is Linus' monitor COD branded?

reef patrol
#

It turns you into a mediocre rapper.

#

Then my job is done here.

junior ore
#

no it's more like there's a constant churn of fake memory chips churned from china, as in, scammers from china making big business there that aren't being shut down. from SD cards to Solid State Drives and even M2 Drives.

#

they sell their wares even on amazon and amazon will label them as official.

#

the only way to buy 'official' memory storage through amazon is now directly with the company's amazon store page. anywhere else on amazon is a scam.

#

and of course : yes ebay super risky

ashen spindle
#

well if you have the patience to deal with returns and are in a country where consumer protection at least exists to a degree it can still be worth it

junior ore
#

worth it how? spending 60 days waiting to receive and return a bootleg SD card just to get your 50 or more dollars back?

#

you know the bootlegs aren't going ot have the memory they say they have, it's not a matter of 'low quality' "1TB" Sd card. it'd be a 4GB card tagged and flashed as a 1TB to trick devices into thinking its a 1TB. that's how the scam works.

#

so what is the worth in the time and money spent?

ashen spindle
#

well yeah but an obvious fake sd capacity is not the same as looking for an m2 in <2280 sizes

junior ore
#

i don't see your point.

#

getting a fake 4GB m2 that was suppose to be a 1tb m2 is... the same as a fake SD scam

ashen spindle
#

your example is a thing that literally only can be a scam since it doesnt physically exist, the thing that people were looking at exists and just was only form chinese sellers

#

2230 nvmes exist and it appeared at that ime they were either not really in stock or overpriced in the uk so that chinese seller listing was posted

junior ore
#

wait wait wait

#

what doesn't exist?

#

scam M2, and in general scam solid states exist.

#

i'm not saying all M2s are scams. I'm saying some exist.

ashen spindle
#

yes and its very popular to have SD cards that have impossible specs listed and sometimes that also goes into legit specs and are scams but very often you can see those have an issue in the details

junior ore
#

you aren't making any sense.

#

again what doesn't exist?

ashen spindle
#

also idk where you get 60 days waiting from

junior ore
#

shipping from and to china is a month or two long progress. here in the states anyways. shorter in other places. anyways. AGAIN : what is it that you said doesn't exist?

ashen spindle
junior ore
#

no, you can find scammers using realistic specs.

#

they jsut give you fake cards

ashen spindle
#

granted I dont often buy from china, but something like an m2 would more likely come via air freight and not 30 days on a boat right?

junior ore
#

it's not a matter of intentionally buying from china.

#

and idunno which common method is used for the scammers.

#

they just go with whatevers cheapest.

#

i assume.

#

i've ordered three times through amazon and i get fakes, and it always took a month to ship from china.

#

I don't even realize it half the time.

#

i wait out the week, wondering why the package isn't there and check and find out where its coming from.

#

and of course : it's a fake

ashen spindle
#

first look at aliexpress and it's 14 day delivery for this first 2230 m2s

junior ore
#

now if neded, i get elsewhere and i doublecheck with software if its real memory

ashen spindle
#

so I'd say thats not too bad if you can otherwise not find it

junior ore
#

didn;t you say you weren't in the states or such?

ashen spindle
#

no

junior ore
#

aliexpress is big enough buisness to have warehouses or such within the states. like. actual property rented and workers. not random amazon scammers.

ashen spindle
#

err not sure how that matters if they still ship from china

#

also, not in the states

junior ore
#

storage

#

stock

#

manufacture within china, allocate items elsewhere for distribution. logistics 101

ashen spindle
#

but the package still comes from shenzen either way?

junior ore
#

i don't know Aliexpress's policies, like, if they do returns or filter out scammers or such.

#

maybe?

ashen spindle
#

it does so the question is how does a warehouse in the states matter for those deliveries

junior ore
#

not every chip comes from hong kong or china. lots come from korea and taiwan. or at least from respectable-enough businesses. I'm just saying beware of scammers and a lot of them are within china

ashen spindle
#

well yeah that's sadly not something that will go away anytime soon

#

im just saying there are reasons where you can still consider it and if you dont order from some sketchy sites but something like amazon directly it's quire easy to get a refund if you need one

junior ore
#

if by easy you mean wait a stupidly long time, then maybe.

#

i just didn't bother for the last time. wasnt' too much money and i deemed it not worth it. reported it and moved on.

ashen spindle
#

that depends but sure can take a while

#

but in this example I would personally be ok waiting if the alternative is getting a bigger ssd here and cutting it down to fit lol

fair gull
#

guys guys guys youre not seeing the solution

junior ore
#

i'm not gonna be crazy enough for memory cutting personally >.> but thats just me.

fair gull
#

its called KiCAD

#

just make your own ssd

ashen spindle
#

exactly, I also cba cutting the pcb and hoping it works, so might as well get something from china since the other option is waiting and finding if someone else releases one that isnt a chinese retailer lol

#

or I guess I could find some few that are not from a chinese seller but they are basically 3x the price so I would still not pay that lol

junior ore
#

i mean, if you just want some cheapo practice stuff sure then but if you are average joe and not cutter-solder mcbob then it's not something reocmmended.

fair gull
#

what even is the discussion about lol

junior ore
#

i was recommending against ordering solid state memory products from china on account of massive amount of scams coming from there and he was arguing it was still worth trying. for some reason.

fair gull
#

i mean use paypal

#

they are so consumer friendly theyll refund it if its a scam

junior ore
#

paypal isn't goign to physically change the fake ot a real one

fair gull
#

they will refund you tho if its a scam or doesnt arrive

junior ore
#

right but its also a time investment that you aren't getting back.

fair gull
#

what time investment

#

are u getting it yourself?

junior ore
#

testing the dang thing.

#

and also hoping ti doesn't fry your hardware.

fair gull
#

not really a big time investment

stark bobcat
#

Honestly just buy from a reputable company

junior ore
#

all I'm saying is it's a gamble to not buy from a reputable company.

stark bobcat
#

Anything above 100€ I'd not gamble on AliExpress

junior ore
#

most def

fair gull
#

i mean i dont really care either way

junior ore
#

beware even the 50 ones too

fair gull
#

i could order 20 1tb m.2 2230 to tomorrow if i want

stark bobcat
#

Some years ago I got se pretty good deals on xeons on there

#

Haven't been scammed yet either but I also haven't tried buying storage

fair gull
#

ive bought 512mb flash drives on aliexpress

#

for xbox modding

#

worked like a charm

stark bobcat
#

Price ?

fair gull
#

50cents or so

#

free shipping

ashen spindle
stark bobcat
#

Capacity as advertised?

junior ore
#

well yeah, 512 MB. that's not worth scammers time lol

fair gull
#

yes 512mb

stark bobcat
#

Did you fill it up entirely

junior ore
fair gull
#

@ashen spindle

stark bobcat
#

There are scams that change sd firmware to report the wrong capacity

fair gull
#

fuck

#

image were u at

junior ore
ashen spindle
#

no other option as in when I last checked the only other 2230 m2 I could find was for 330€ aka almost tripple the price

ashen spindle
# fair gull

could not find anything like that on geizhals or similar

junior ore
#

1TB at 330 sounds a good deal. for solid state. for an M2 solid state.

fair gull
#

well this is distrib for electronic stores

#

also without vat as shown

ashen spindle
#

1tb for 330 sounds good? tf are you buying

fair gull
#

but reasonable imo

stark bobcat
#

Pretty sure I've seen a deal on these today at mydealz

fair gull
junior ore
#

hhmmm... maybe i;m behind on the prices for them then

ashen spindle
#

I'm willing to pay a bit more for form factor but not tripple normal price

stark bobcat
junior ore
#

ooooooohhhhhh

#

PCIE4

#

right, yeah

stark bobcat
#

Well pcie 3 would be less

ashen spindle
#

yeah this aint pcie 4 lol

#

its 3 by 4 at most

fair gull
#

it is

#

in my screen at least

#

but considering the situation of currently over 100 other ssds 2230 nvme m.2 1tb marked as EOL

#

(mainly cause even my distribs dont know when they come back in stock)

stark bobcat
#

2230 is tough sadly

fair gull
#

im surprised i can order 89 rn if need be

ashen spindle
#

yeah so I guess the dell m2s I see are some leftover stock they try to remove

stark bobcat
#

I got the 512gb steamdeck tho so I'm chilling

junior ore
#

same

fair gull
#

also these ssds are shite

ashen spindle
#

so back to, can buy that from china if you are aware and willing to have some trouble since it might otherwise be super expensive or literally impossible

fair gull
#

400TBW

junior ore
#

i'm not gonna put triple A games on my steam deck so I wont be needing some 1TB for a long while

#

and even then : I also got my dummy switch on the side line for other games too.

fair gull
#

tmw i recheck the price with a time thats not 4am today

junior ore
#

I just need a laptop replacement

fair gull
#

since its 4pm almost

#

ssd sold out

#

eol

stark bobcat
#

Yeah rn I'm mostly playing rocket league and persona on it

Reading german isn't so bad

Due to the fact that we capitalise every noun

The fuck

#

Adata rma requires sending to Taiwan

astral haven
#

Adata is one of those speed over reliability brands that doesn't have a solid warranty system...

#

What did you expect

pale sigil
#

Idk for me it's been reliable

#

But warranty for sure it seems bad

#

I'm doing it for my friend atm

ashen spindle
#

well I assume your sample size is quite small

#

even the worst brand seems fine for most people after all

fair gull
#

adata, kingston a400 and hp s700 ssds all have a very common failure

#

in my experience their controllers just die

#

in a to my mind fixable way even

#

but data is gone for good

junior ore
#

i highly don't recommend ADATA SSDs

#

i ordered several, cheap ones for experimenting with some hardware.

#

some 128s and 250s.

#

while dirt cheap, they had extremely short lifespan and not so great performance even for the cheap cost.

#

i don't believe ADATA has good quality control compared to the other companies.

ashen spindle
#

I would even say I dont recommend anything below 500 really, you do lose performance in general on the lower sizes

fickle ore
#

Sad that SK Hynix P41 isn't sold in EU

ashen spindle
#

yeye we are talking about most usecases not your special needs 😛

fair gull
#

i just go with samsung usually

ashen spindle
#

wait thats not even an optane, saw you type a name and assumed it's going to be optane dogekek

fickle ore
#

Yea Adata's are fked. Hynix would be really cheap option if it was available. If it's available for u, just get that

ashen spindle
#

oh wow that is quite affordable for the specs

fickle ore
#

Ye best price/perf prob

junior ore
#

samsung, western digital, hitachi, and seagate are main ones

ashen spindle
#

ehh, I'd put intel and sk hynix above seagate for ssds probably

#

kioxia I actually dont know anything about their models since the rebrand, so I guess nothing too bad happend or I wouldve seen it lol

pale sigil
#

Tbf is prob get a Samsung nvme next time since pricing is a little more reasonable now for their M2 drives

#

But before the price difference was 50-100

fickle ore
#

What about Arctic X1-3D that's 59€ and says max 42"? I don't know what's a HX.

pale sigil
#

But tbh I'm not worried about my nvme as I got it from Amazon and pretty much Amazon have others coveted me in warranty

#

Never had to go through the manufacturer for warranty if I got it from Amazon

#

Hell Amazon outright refunded my failed 1070 after 3 years

#

That still blows me away lol

fickle ore
#

Ahh yeha looks nice but would cost more than my monitor lmao

ashen spindle
fickle ore
#

Ya I could get ones with 32" compat and 9kg but I kinda wanna buy the one with 42" and 15kgs just incase I switch over to OLED

ashen spindle
#

its only around 2 months wait time now heh

fickle ore
#

I'm just waiting to see samsung one tbh

ashen spindle
#

im surprised we still dont know anything about the msi or samsung model in terms of price and release date

#

no way dell got all the allocation so that they have to wait

fickle ore
#

I am surprised too

#

It's been months now

astral haven
#

So uh
I might have placed an order for a dumb monitor

ashen spindle
#

noice

fickle ore
#

wth how is that 1.35k

#

cancel!!

astral haven
#

?

fickle ore
#

Uhh idk

astral haven
#

What other 4k240hz is there?

#

It also has 1200 nit 10% window hdr and over 1k zone dimming
Apparently also native contrast of around 4k too before dimming

fickle ore
#

True that, didn't see it was 4k. Prob more this year and the next with new gpu gens coming with DP 2.0 I would guess.

#

Just that it's over 1k for non-oled is :/

#

Still regardless sick specs

fair gull
astral haven
#

Dunno
What OLED does 1200 nit highlights and 350 Fullscreen white
But imo more importantly, 240hz
180hz to 240 was a huge noticeable upgrade for me
I don't think I could drop to 160 or even 120

astral haven
fickle ore
astral haven
#

1k is definetly not laggy lol

fickle ore
#

such a big difference on my 280hz panel

astral haven
#

Eh

#

I didn't
I mostly just noticed my CPU overheating in a number of apps

#

I mostly just use 2k cause it doesn't cause stutter in any games

fickle ore
#

Motion perception is fk'd in close FOV games bc your fast turns are lagged by the 1khz granularity. Motion of moving enemies during fast swipes is much more smooth on a 8khz mouse.

#

See if you can notice playing OW with genji up close or tracer

chrome estuary
#

i'm fine with 144hz

astral haven
#

Don't play ow and don't intend to start now

astral haven
chrome estuary
#

there's a point of diminishing returns personally

fickle ore
astral haven
astral haven
chrome estuary
#

eh, i still personally feel high refresh rate is kind of a meme. I've always felt that way and will probably always feel that way but you do you.

fickle ore
chrome estuary
#

however i'd like a high end oled monitor but ouch the price

fickle ore
chrome estuary
#

my secondary and tertiary monitors are 60hz
my main is 144

ashen spindle
#

yes it's diminishing the higher you go, but its not reaching 0, we know 1000hz is still giving benefits

#

doesnt mean it going to be unplayable if it drops lower

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

uhh are you sure those numbers are correct

astral haven
#

There's a reason that mprt of below .3 isn't the limit

astral haven
chrome estuary
#

oh i can tell the difference

#

i just don't give a damn

fickle ore
ashen spindle
#

10kHz is noticeable by less than the amount that notice 20khz?

fickle ore
#

Gsync and rpg games are totally fine on 60hz

ashen spindle
#

or is it something like at 10kz they dont notice it but even more hz helps them too

chrome estuary
#

never felt that.

#

not before nor after having a 144hz monitor

astral haven
chrome estuary
#

anything below 60 then yeah.

ashen spindle
#

ahhhh ok then the numbers make sense

fickle ore
#

U shuld see me; my gaming mouse sensor broke. No moving yet clicks works. I'm using my work office dell mouse at 125 hz. It makes my 280hz screen look like 60hz LOL

astral haven
#

With crt it was more important cause pov

#

60hz crt causes physical pain in alot of people

fickle ore
#

I remember even 100 hz crt causing pain

junior ore
#

what u mean

fickle ore
#

I think the flickering went away at something like 120hz

junior ore
#

60 and 75hz is what crt ran

astral haven
#

Nah
Most were 75
Some were 85

fickle ore
#

120hz

astral haven
#

At least with 2ms phosphors

fair gull
#

altho i agree a crt would do it faster and better

junior ore
#

even at the lower resolutions, i don't think they can run at those higher refresh rates. i don't think they were designed to go that high.

astral haven
#

With 2ms phosphors at 60hz, it causes me significant headaches

fickle ore
astral haven
junior ore
#

citation on these, please

#

also a CRT is fast as shit yeah but they suffer from Geometry.

they suffer from making desks bow

# junior ore BUT : cool that it exists

Yea but that's the limit of vga
Remember the electron beam is analog
If you can vsync that on this monitor, it's possible on any monitor

blurbusters forum

junior ore
#

okay so saying the best one ever was 200.

#

i was still correc ton the average

astral haven
#

I toyed around with a crt for a while and you could basically increase vertical clock until your image was too small

fair gull
#

i mean crts are theoretically only limited by phosphor response times iirc

fickle ore

nobody said the 200hz model is the average

best one i got is a black IBM for my retro computer and a jump trinitron for my consoles

fickle ore
junior ore
#

OLED Rolling scan?

fickle ore
#

Ye well it's the closest

astral haven
#

Basically would be identical to a crt except even dimmer currently

#

The only disadvantage would be the static resolution

fickle ore
#

Yeah modern displays are too rigid in resos

junior ore
#

honestly thats fine by me.

ashen spindle
#

thankfully monitor makers have some time for gpu makers to catch up before we can fully utilize all that dogekek

junior ore
#

i think software developers need time ot catch up to the hardware. not the other way around.

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

nah

#

we can already get 1kfps in TF2 for example

junior ore
#

dude so many games are soooooooooooo unoptimized, compared to games like TF2 and others.

ashen spindle
#

that just aint a game thats selling high end monitors that could raech that

junior ore
#

source games don't require much specs

#

that includes go

astral haven
#

Imo hz over 2x fps is a good target

junior ore
#

you can even run team fortress 2 in DIRECT X 8

astral haven
fair gull
ashen spindle
#

yeah most source games also look bleak as hell

#

ofc that doesnt need a lot of gpu power

junior ore
#

source games can look great.

astral haven
#

And mouse movement on desktop is noticeable with different refresh

fickle ore
#

TFC>TF2

junior ore
#

it's just most of them have ages almost twenty years and some even more

#

nah thats Gold engine

not Source

I miss TFC CTF

junior ore

#

Titanfall 2 is source 1 and runs relatively well

junior ore
#

oh.

#

i forgot that.

fair gull
#

9 yrs and ure 100

junior ore
#

and yeah titanfall 2 looked damn good too.

#

no, 1991 lol

ashen spindle
#

yeah and you can run it in directx8 because it basically does nothing that taxes the gpu hard, that is less due to optimization and more to the fact that you get like 5 effects per weapon max in tf2

junior ore
#

no, thats not it.

ashen spindle
#

well aside from upward where you drop to less than 100 on any existing cpu for whatever reason lmfao

junior ore
#

it has to do with because its an old game. because the engine is old enough to have included and supported it,

#

so its a feature within it.

#

its not to do because "low effects"

ashen spindle
#

if it runs in dx8 it means it literally cant use any of the options only available in later versions?

crimson wigeon
#

No? Those things are simply disabled in DX8 mode, the game looks significantly different in DX8..

ashen spindle
#

oh yes, I meant in dx8 what they can use there

junior ore
#

thats.. not what the point was quin

ashen spindle
#

not that the game never uses anything newer

astral haven
#

Yup
Basically same story as GTX 480 in dx12
Basically everything is broken

junior ore
#

the point was : it's old. it's old enough to have Direct X 8 in it.

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah, 2007 that's pr- oh right that's a very long time ago indeed

frozen ingot
#

nah is like 3 years ago

#

right guys

#

right?

junior ore
#

cries too

ashen spindle
#

well the orignal point was that games are not reaching that high fps because of lacking optimisation, but that's not always the case

junior ore
#

it very much is for several popular games.

#

take for instance Assassin's Creed series.

#

runs like dogass on carpet.

crimson wigeon
#

I would say it is, graphics aren't really getting that much better in some games, yet performance is significantly worse, why?

ashen spindle
#

AC in big part because the focus of those games is to run on console

junior ore
#

exactly NGH

#

and, exactly quin. that is part of the reason too.

#

bad ports is also bad optimization.

crimson wigeon
#

Although that applies to almost all software really ha

junior ore
#

lets not forget games that just. dump all over the practice of memory management

#

which is the big difference between C# and C++ : manual memory and autodumping

#

the issue with games that struggle, like with Elden Ring : it isn't because Hardware.

ashen spindle
#

you're still limited though by what you can do by hardware, a lot of things are coming from using higher resolution or have more objects, where the "optimization" to get more fps would be have less of them but thats not really an option

junior ore
#

it's software.

#

look at the case of Elden Ring where even the stuttering issues was fixed bya third party for a platform it wasn't supported on.

ashen spindle
#

so even with all the optimizations for the most part it's still hardware that would limit something like 1kfps for a lot of games

junior ore
#

optimization is always an option. it's a choice.

#

there is no hardware limitation with exception to consoles.

frozen ingot
ashen spindle
#

if you call it optimization to put 100 instead of 200 people in the crowd when 200 is what it was designed for, sure, then we simply disagree on what part is optimization

junior ore
#

there's missing information

ashen spindle
#

for how the game is designed to be

junior ore
#

i'm talking about what you said right there regarding the numbers and the crowd.

#

it makes sense because it's missing context.

#

is it : to make a super large crowd? 200 is optimal.

#

unless 200 causes issues.

#

okay i got an example

#

lets look at the newer hitman games

ashen spindle
#

yeah and in that case if the gpu cant do top performance with ideal code, then its hardware thats limiting it

junior ore
#

Hitman 2016+ has levels wiht hundreds of people

ashen spindle
#

im not saying games are not lacking optimization btw

junior ore
#

the way they go about it is a large chunk fo them is indeed a crap load of NPCs. but there are in various degrees of different types, for sake of not exploding your computer.

ashen spindle
#

yes a LOD style approach to npc

junior ore
#

optimization for not exploding someones PC : have some real ones that can do a lot of things, have some lesser NPCs that do much less stuff, and then have some that are essentialyl ghosts and just visuals.

#

^ this is what I mean in regards for optimization.

#

this is software.

#

this is what i am talking about

ashen spindle
#

yes and doing all that can still end up not being enough

junior ore
#

not bruteforcing "just get moar hardware bro"

#

if it's ever not enough then you simply don't implement it.

#

you don't set your game on fire to force it in like a dumbass.

ashen spindle
#

but then its not the game the designer wants to make

#

so you optimize the game away

#

as I said, if thats the case we disagree what optimization is if it goes to that degree

junior ore
#

optimization is coming to terms with reality and expectations and making it work.together.

ashen spindle
#

yes and that still can be not enough to make the game as you want it to be, so hardware is not ready for it lol

junior ore
#

thats a problem with the designer.

#

current modern hardware

#

is plenty ready for any and all games.

ashen spindle
#

lol

#

alright

junior ore
#

we literally even have VR room games

#

we literally have augmented reality games

#

what hardware are we missing?

cursive summit
#

Where's my metaverse shit

junior ore
#

30 years ago we've had VR and AR stuff in 'sorta working' category but now we have them in good order.

cursive summit
#

I was told metaverse is the next big thing

junior ore
#

what hardware do we need for what kind of game?

ashen spindle
#

yeah and vr is good now, but still far away from the dpi and fov that it should ideally have

#

oh if we can make an elden ring with 0 loading times, larger map, more population density and 1kfps I'd agree

junior ore
#

we've had games before that don't do loading screens

ashen spindle
#

yes im talking about all that together

junior ore
#

we've had games where the map size is larger than various countries.

ashen spindle
#

any of them is easy alone

junior ore
#

Daggerfall loads so fast its basically no loading screen.

astral haven
cursive summit
#

Why are we talking about 1990s game rn?

junior ore
#

nah, even better : we are missing neural interfaces.

ashen spindle
#

yes and I can make you a menu scene in unity with no optimization and can easily get above 1k fps, its just kinda missing the rest of the game

junior ore
#

it wouldn't be anything, really.

ashen spindle
#

just like daggerfall doesnt really high resolution for todays standards lol

junior ore
#

you hadn't seen the latest rendition of it :P
also it still holds record of biggest game map.

#

also you can find modern day games made in today's times that use older retro style graphics.

ashen spindle
#

cool, doesnt hold the highest density of things in an area though

junior ore
#

until you get into a city or town. and then they actually do.

ashen spindle
#

which is not the entire map then

junior ore
#

"oh my gosh wow the empty plains is... an empty field whoa :V"

#

yeah i know but a lot of it is wilderness stuff.

#

so, like. yeah. there's going to just be plains and hills and stuff.

#

and the towns and cities inbetween.

ashen spindle
#

mh yes the high density HD grass

astral haven
junior ore
#

I.... I don't think you are understanding the point.

astral haven
#

Or hunt showdown

junior ore
#

a forest is a forest.

#

it's going to have

#

grass and trees

#

and stuff.

astral haven
junior ore
#

i see trees

astral haven
#

And how varied

cursive summit
#

At least 1 forest

ashen spindle
#

im not even disagreeing that in practice there have to be tradeoffs to make it run on current hardware to be reasonable

#

im saying I disagree saying hardware we have is enough if optimization consists of cutting out stuff

#

and if we can't have 1kfps HL:A game with daggerfall size map and all, then hardware is lacking

junior ore
#

it's enough for another 6 or 8 years.

ashen spindle
#

partly because games are made knowing the specs, not because they all have what they want in it

astral haven
#

Push the hardware now so we don't have to rush in 6-8 years?

#

There are always improvements to be made

junior ore
#

i just think there are much more improvements to be made software wise at the moment than hardware. for now.

fickle ore
junior ore
#

nice

ashen spindle
#

sure thats fine, but what you said was

there is no hardware limitation

junior ore
#

what if we had another form of really really low level languages that is able to communicate close to the hardware but easier than assembly?

astral haven
fickle ore
#

DX12 ULTIMATE

junior ore
#

i thought that was a higher api?

fickle ore
#

Where tho!

ashen spindle
#

even if people could write assembly as easily as javascript that wouldnt make current hardware enough for everything

astral haven
junior ore
#

right but closer to the hardware the more you can untap from it. and thus the better performance you can get out of it, if you know what you are doing.

astral haven
#

But it directly interfaces with the hardware without significant limits

junior ore
#

directly? wouldn't it still need a translation layer?

#

like, again, the assembly

astral haven
#

Vulkan is compiled

#

And not at runtime

ashen spindle
#

oh god now you made me imagine vulkan but JIT

astral haven
#

Lel

ashen spindle
#

brb need some memory bleach

astral haven
#

That's what shaders are for

ashen spindle
#

true I do love shader bugs sometimes, they are easier to find unless you need to go really deep heh

junior ore
#

ah so I did misremember. Vulkan is indeed low level.

#

see, this is what I mean by software optimization. Vulkan is a big leap over DirectX. less proprietary too

ashen spindle
#

sure and I still dont disagree there xD

#

I still just dont agree that there is no hardware limitation currently

junior ore
#

this si true. honestly that is bad wording on my part.

astral haven
#

Yap
And everything vulkan can do directx and opengl can do
And they are only around 5-15% slower

FINALLY

GODS BE PRAISED

#

Europe will stop getting shafted with Exynos

fair gull
#

but

#

i like getting shafted

cursive summit
#

Fuck Samsung in general, but specifically european ones

junior ore
#

what are those?

ashen spindle
#

mh yes, the one time they might actually have a chance to make exynos better than the snapdragon they drop it lolololol

cursive summit
#

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Samsung purportedly skipping an Exynos release next year. Korea’s Naver outlet made a wild claim back in May, alleging that Samsung would skip Exynos processors for devices in 2023 and 2024 ahead of a new in-house chipset debuting in 2025. Samsung told us at the time that “no specific decision” had been made in this regard.

ashen spindle
#

SS 3nm might be the best node for a while so they would have that going for them, wonder if the node or the chip development dropped the ball

cursive summit
#

I'd be fine with an actually god Exynos

#

But for now while they are a hot stinking pile of poop, I'd rather Snapdragon

#

Well Exynos 2200 gen 2 in 2025 let's go

ashen spindle
#

ss are seemingly the first to properly add GAAFET on 3nm since tsmc is moving slower so they might have the best node and not tsmc, im hoping the node is not the reason.. would be sad to see another node fail

frozen ingot
#

samsung more like assmung

ashen spindle
#

also cerebras is added to the transistor website now @astral haven 😛

astral haven
#

Sweet!

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

sure but usually leading chips would be tsmc

#

and im sure if SS would want they could get priority access to 3nm to make a good exynos if they would want

#

sure not the same company technically but we know how samsung cares about that based on past illegal handlings lol

why so? the screen reflections?

crimson wigeon
#

Gotta have the exclusive virtual keyboard theme

junior ore
#

supposedly the screen reflection works and is dandy and everything. but I think some people said the same effect can be had with a screen cover and you'll be wanting a screen cover to protect ti anyways. plus lower costs.

#

and the cost is a slight color difference that you can't tell unless looking side by side.

#

i'm probably not gonna be bothered honestly.

#

and it will be in a hevaily lit area

yeah, cause no one knew at the time that the SD card slot is almost as fast at loading games than the SSD

A quick question

#

6900XT for 990€ or 6950XT for 1350€ lul

#

Nvidia not an option unless 3080, which is also 910€, 3080Ti is the same price as 6950XT, I won't even start about 3090 and upper

#

So, 3080, 6900XT, or shell out 350€ extra for 6950XT

#

1440p gaming mainly

#

Leaning towards 6900XT, I don't see the 300€ price uplift justified

#

Also aiming to pair it with 5800x3D

ashen spindle
#

next gen

cursive summit
#

Need PC rn

#

Also who knows when those will come out

#

Not willing to wait 4 months or more

#

So, current gen it is

ashen spindle
#

get something lower and upgrade then

cursive summit
#

3070 eh?

#

Not a bad shout to be fair

ashen spindle
#

idk depends on prices but would not go near halo products basically a quarter before next gen release

cursive summit
#

Seems like cheapest 3070 is 664€

#

What's the AMD equivalent for that card currently

#

6700XT?

ashen spindle
#

6750 I think

cursive summit
#

3070 is the same price as 6750 here

#

So yeah, which one's the better pick lul

ashen spindle
#

watch HUB or similar and decide what games better fit what you will play

cursive summit
#

Ngl

#

Hub or GN don't review the games I play lul

ashen spindle
#

yeah but hubs 30 game benchmark covers most engines

#

for more look at techpowerup

cursive summit
#

Fair enough, cheers

#

Ooh 6800 same price as 3070

#

I wonder if 6800 got obsoleted by 6750 or not

ashen spindle
#

oh no it uses the higher tier die

#

ez choice if its the same price

junior ore
#

whats HUB?

cursive summit
#

Hardware unboxed

junior ore
#

oh yeah

#

which versions of these specifically?

#

different manufacturers tweaked these.

cursive summit
#

6800 Sapphire

#

3070's any at this point

junior ore
#

also no, a 6750 is not gonna be better than a 6800*

cursive summit
#

Well I recall at launch 3070 smacked up 6800 or something like that

junior ore
#

xt nitro+?

cursive summit
#

Interesting to see FineWine in action and AMD coming on toplul

cursive summit
#

And no, not XT

#

Sapphire 6800 Pulse

junior ore
#

ah

cursive summit
#

Looks like a stock GPU

junior ore
#

you found one for 380 or such?

cursive summit
#

.. wat

junior ore
#

thats the retail price

cursive summit
#

?

ashen spindle
#

I buy 100 of them for 380

cursive summit
#

Since when

junior ore
#

no wait

ashen spindle
#

That not close to msrp

junior ore
#

i was looking at wrong "pulse"

cursive summit
#

6800 was like 580$ on launch

junior ore
#

i'm trying to find 6800 pulse >.>

cursive summit
#

Are you looking at like RX 580s

ashen spindle
#

You won’t find msrp for most AiB models on either side this generation

junior ore
#

fuckit close enough

#

no i was trying to find specifically the pulse

#

but the 6800 close enough, i don't think it'd be different from stock

cursive summit
#

Man I wish 6800 xt wasn't overpriced here

junior ore
cursive summit
#

Such a sexy card for that performance

junior ore
#

how much for a 6800xt? performance isn't far from the 3090

cursive summit
#

6800xt doesn't even touch 3080 let alone 3090
