but no the audiophile community do not love them and if they did its purely for ad money from referrals on amazon 
Notice how they rarely review itms they cant add amazon buttons for?
Wired. But out of wireless most I watched reviews of compared them to cheaper Sonys, bit better but not worth it
Tfw you realize that
HD 600 and a Bluetooth DAC/AMP is 0.5x the cost for infinite x the performance
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
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
This however is intentional
I have made a jank setup of 4 Bluetooth transmitters and receivers that allows a wired (dual cable) headset to run wirelessly
And it sounds identical to native
Headset that has separate headphones and mic cable
o.o I see, never saw that before
Sennheiser PC series is all that
Why'd multiple manufacturers nerf their product lines
Cause it's cheap and percentage wise of users, noone cared
"cheap"?
Last I checked top of the line wireless was hundreds of dollars
Not that cheap
1 Bluetooth chip rather than 2
The bom on $400 headsets is like $60
So a pair of $12 chips rather than just 1 would hurt bad
Hold on... When are HD600/6XX a "Fraction of the cost"?
Airpod Max are like 500$
HD6XX were 300-400 from what I remember
1/2 is a fraction
$300 is half of $600
6XX are like 220$ on a normal day
Pair 6XX which is like 220$ off of Massdrop and what, a 80$ or so BTR5
When I hear "fraction of the cost" I think like 100$ compared to 600$
Btr5 is 120$ last I checked
Like I BET my ass that HD580 with BTR5 still sounds better
Yeah of course they're gonna be better but the wording is still misleading.
I don't remember saying the word fraction
Lana did
Wait no pleasant not lana
Pleasant did yeah
Idk how about you lads but I see no reason to buy overpriced shitty hardware that are Apple's maxes
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 $12 by receiver
I see reasons
But none of them are audio quality related
Really interested in how those will be
The electrostats don't appear interesting
A bit expensive
But the 699 planars and 199$ dynamics are hella interesting
If a 200$ headphone compares to HD800 jesus christ, that'll be end of the world for audio
What
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
MOONDROP 2022 Summer New Product Launch Conference
Three flagship full-size headphones are unveiling
MOONDROP is committed to launching excellent products
Exploring the electroacoustic industry
Explore
Pursue
Listen
Believe
Make great efforts
It is 2022 lol
Hd800 has not been the benchmark of audio quality for quite a few years
It's the benchmark typically for a great headphone
It's the bar that any headphone has to pass over $500 to be considered good
It is the baseline
Not the benchmark
eh
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
use this end on PC
It types
It.. writes?
It lekkers
It hall effects
Idk what else can it do
It's a keyboard
lekker edition is the color
And a fantastic one at that
Like what carmonben said
Lekker edition is a special edition of HE keyboards
The fancy keycap colour
too late for them 🤷
Lekker switch is the special switch
two HE is identical except for the keycaps afaik
also its not tkl, lekker is fullsize like the 2HE
yes
yes
arrow keys?
Cause they need the space
Me
me
is it actually a small table or what seems to be the modern definition of a small table which is approx a football field
same reason people would get a 60% instead off fullsize
thats already in use for tab switching
alt tab does not switch tabs..
I'm pretty cramped here but I do make room for a fullsize
that switches programs
I'm a bit intrigued to try out something smaller
have only owned fullsize for like 30 years
I'm tempted to get a 60HE and see if I could stand living with just 60% and function layers
96% is 99 keys
you dont just get random boardsizes either.. so no you would not get half a key
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
As an Arma 3 and similar game player, I need numpad, F and literally all the other keys 
just a bit inconvenient doing the fn tning
same with star citizen, not even a fullsize has enough keys for all the binds
you can get used to it, it's still limited in what it can do
i do work on my keyboard...
most keyboard keys are there for a reason...
if you mostly do wasd fps gaming then a 60% is probably well enough
🤷 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

👇 PULL IT DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF 👇
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...
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?
especiall arrow keys while needing to press other keys can be a struggle
spreadsheet data entry is a pain without number cluster and arrows
i recommend getting a bigger desk my guy
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
i do vr in another room lol
im not doing vr in my bathroom
and my closet is full of clothes
I got a bunch of rack gear on my desk behind my monitor I should probably move elsewhere
but can't be arsed lol
my pc is sitting on a switch because I dont have space for a rack
I have to put my second monitor on top of the left speaker because there's no space for it elsewhere
👌🏻 
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?
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
Mmm, toasty
its still alive which means its fine lol
nah is fine fam, capacitors love heat
right now nothing
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
That is very unlikely.
Like wireless codec is rather limiting but won’t make badly calibrated mic better, also noice cancelation
How is that unlikely if that's literally the case 
basically you have 4 slots for your custom setups for different games, 1 digital and 3 analog
that's stored inside the keyboard memory
Go see the recordings of sub-10$ KZ's and Apple's airpods 3
KZ's sound much better
ARM supposedly has more memory for storing a couple more setups
Well not from my experience must have found a very good mix
Well that’s rather different from AirPods max
Wouldn't be surprised at all if Maxes also sound like shit
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
airpod max bluetooth mic sounds atrocious...
^
In fact they suck at sound quality
With wireless the sound quality went back in time like 40 years
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
its already an insane keyboard, leaps ahead the competition
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 $400 and they entirely slaughter the hd820s
it is crazy to think that the hd820 and this are made by the same company
Are we thinking about the same HD 820s here? 
you wont notice the differenec
https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/hd-820/
yes this pile of garbage
Play your music in audiophile quality with HD 820 headphones from Sennheiser. Unrivaled surround sound wherever you are - discover it now!
Now I learned HD820s are closed back
Yeah not surprising
Closed backs are a tough sell in over-200$ category
now that I know sennheiser can make this masterpeice theres no excuse
for a second I thought you talked about a noctua with that name
lel
Noctuas do sound amazing 
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
dead already?
??
a scratch is a muuuuch cheaper fix lol
Time to demand a new one
devastated, time to pretend it doesn't exist as its no longer perfect.
Selling steam deck
Anyone interested
has two scratches


TWO scratches? Oh no. That's easily a 200£ writeoff right there.
Mine
even with like 20 scratches i bet you can flip it for a lot 
sorted
gonna order one now thank
thats a 25 quid scratch that 😉

uh no its not
Do u have the deck to look at it from the back or play with it?
it only is if you care about a pristine console
which is already not the case since you turned it on
Aww land i have it on a spin table to admire it on my desk.
get yourself a 1tb ssd at the same time
i have you on a spin table
I only use mine on the train since I commute every week pretty neat device
Im kidding all of yall
getting one is a pita 
just search "Surface 1tb ssd"
sort by lowest price
scroll till you find one that isnt for the pro 3
30 days is enough to run a full suite of tests
you can always buy direct from dell if you want
its just more money
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.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/225052837574
its ez in the us
dunno about uk
what did I just say lol
thats the other completely brainless thing about linux
why on earth does it ignore extensions
ISO are standards for things xD
yeh xzd
WTF d
I like it
I can rename a video to video.potato and MPV will play it no issues still
super friend bonus points if anyone recognises the game
I KNOW I KNOW
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
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?
Maybe one they had around at that time?
Yeah 100%. Warehouse of things. Sometimes you just...grab whatever from it for some use.
Something like this can happen with tachyon mode on, disabling it or setting activation point to 0.3 should fix it
It turns you into a mediocre rapper.

Then my job is done here.
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
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
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?
well yeah but an obvious fake sd capacity is not the same as looking for an m2 in <2280 sizes
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
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
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.
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
also idk where you get 60 days waiting from
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?
this part, quite often they are doing this and listing it under specs that arent possible
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?
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
first look at aliexpress and it's 14 day delivery for this first 2230 m2s
now if neded, i get elsewhere and i doublecheck with software if its real memory
so I'd say thats not too bad if you can otherwise not find it
didn;t you say you weren't in the states or such?
no
aliexpress is big enough buisness to have warehouses or such within the states. like. actual property rented and workers. not random amazon scammers.
err not sure how that matters if they still ship from china
also, not in the states
storage
stock
manufacture within china, allocate items elsewhere for distribution. logistics 101
but the package still comes from shenzen either way?
i don't know Aliexpress's policies, like, if they do returns or filter out scammers or such.
maybe?
it does so the question is how does a warehouse in the states matter for those deliveries
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
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
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.
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
guys guys guys youre not seeing the solution
i'm not gonna be crazy enough for memory cutting personally >.> but thats just me.
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
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.
what even is the discussion about lol
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.
paypal isn't goign to physically change the fake ot a real one
they will refund you tho if its a scam or doesnt arrive
right but its also a time investment that you aren't getting back.
not really a big time investment
Honestly just buy from a reputable company
all I'm saying is it's a gamble to not buy from a reputable company.
Anything above 100€ I'd not gamble on AliExpress
most def
i mean i dont really care either way
beware even the 50 ones too
i could order 20 1tb m.2 2230 to tomorrow if i want
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
Price ?
im saying its still worth a try since especially in this case there is literally no other option, unless you make your own nvme size lol
Capacity as advertised?
well yeah, 512 MB. that's not worth scammers time lol
yes 512mb
you say that
Did you fill it up entirely
what do you mean "no other option"?
@ashen spindle
There are scams that change sd firmware to report the wrong capacity
I already told them that
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
1TB at 330 sounds a good deal. for solid state. for an M2 solid state.
1tb for 330 sounds good? tf are you buying
but reasonable imo
Pretty sure I've seen a deal on these today at mydealz
ya no thats just garbage prices
hhmmm... maybe i;m behind on the prices for them then
I'm willing to pay a bit more for form factor but not tripple normal price
1tb pcie 4 is ~150 probably less
Well pcie 3 would be less
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)
2230 is tough sadly
im surprised i can order 89 rn if need be
yeah so I guess the dell m2s I see are some leftover stock they try to remove
I got the 512gb steamdeck tho so I'm chilling
same
also these ssds are shite
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
400TBW
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.
tmw i recheck the price with a time thats not 4am today
I just need a laptop replacement
Yeah rn I'm mostly playing rocket league and persona on it
gg
you got yours already? lucky lucky.
i was Q2 that got booted to Q3 and am still waiting.
oh wow the official site has some atm https://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/dell-m2-pcie-nvme-gen-3x4-class-35-2230-solid-state-laufwerk-1tb/apd/ab673817/massenspeicher-laufwerke-und-speichermedie
next best ssd i can get is kioxia 1tb 2230 to the 14. july
Mfw every 1 is german
even the kioxias arent 230 without vat
171 excluding vat
Oof
is listening to german songs but sadly not german
be glad ure not german

Any monitor arm recs? 42" compat to be safe.
arm recs?
arm recommendations
oh. nah i got nothing for that.
go with avr 
na just dem strong fingers
Ergotron overpriced...
Adata is one of those speed over reliability brands that doesn't have a solid warranty system...
What did you expect
Idk for me it's been reliable
But warranty for sure it seems bad
I'm doing it for my friend atm
well I assume your sample size is quite small
even the worst brand seems fine for most people after all
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
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.
I would even say I dont recommend anything below 500 really, you do lose performance in general on the lower sizes
Sad that SK Hynix P41 isn't sold in EU
yeye we are talking about most usecases not your special needs 😛
i just go with samsung usually
why so meanie
wait thats not even an optane, saw you type a name and assumed it's going to be optane 
Yea Adata's are fked. Hynix would be really cheap option if it was available. If it's available for u, just get that
oh wow that is quite affordable for the specs
samsung, western digital, hitachi, and seagate are main ones
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
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
What about Arctic X1-3D that's 59€ and says max 42"? I don't know what's a HX.
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
Ahh yeha looks nice but would cost more than my monitor lmao
still not getting that qdoled ? 😛
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
its only around 2 months wait time now heh
Well maybe I am, hence I play safe with the 42" ^^
I'm just waiting to see samsung one tbh
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
So uh
I might have placed an order for a dumb monitor
noice
?
Uhh idk
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
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
why not a g9
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
Too big
32 inch already the size of my desk
Also 9 dimming zones is horrific
You had m2k? 8khz makes 240hz truly shine. 1khz makes 240hz still quite a laggy.
Disagree
But 8k is definetly noticeable in osu
1k is definetly not laggy lol
such a big difference on my 280hz panel
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
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
i'm fine with 144hz
Don't play ow and don't intend to start now
I'm fine with 120hz
But 240 is noticeably better
there's a point of diminishing returns personally
Fine. Just saying that in 2D games only your cursor is choppy, but in 3D your whole world is choppy because your camera has the granularity of the mouse polling rate :b
Yep and I haven't reached it yet considering the improvement from 180 to 240
My fps is lower than 1/4 my hz at 2khz
It's choppy from the fps not the polling
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.
Effective granularity of both =p
however i'd like a high end oled monitor but ouch the price
You can even make 60hz smoother on 8khz mouse.
my secondary and tertiary monitors are 60hz
my main is 144
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
There are studies done that measured tangible benefits to 20khz (over 50% of the users studied) and preferential benefits up to 10khz in some people (around 10% of the study)
uhh are you sure those numbers are correct
There's a reason that mprt of below .3 isn't the limit
100%
Well that is entirely dependant what you do on the PC I guess. I wouldn't bother for excel either.
10kHz is noticeable by less than the amount that notice 20khz?
Gsync and rpg games are totally fine on 60hz
or is it something like at 10kz they dont notice it but even more hz helps them too
No
50% could see 20khz
All could see 10khz
90% didn't care about 10khz
anything below 60 then yeah.
ahhhh ok then the numbers make sense
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
With crt it was more important cause pov
60hz crt causes physical pain in alot of people
I remember even 100 hz crt causing pain
what u mean
I think the flickering went away at something like 120hz
60 and 75hz is what crt ran
Nah
Most were 75
Some were 85
At least with 2ms phosphors
id argue hitting anyone over the head with any monitor causes physical pain
altho i agree a crt would do it faster and better
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.
With 2ms phosphors at 60hz, it causes me significant headaches
Uhh, lotsa trinitrons went to like 180hz/200hz
I was running 120hz at 1080p lol
citation on these, please
My faded memory
also a CRT is fast as shit yeah but they suffer from Geometry.
they suffer from making desks bow
they arent that heavy
My desk looked like a U with a 22" 42 kg CRT
ah so the bow my old desk had was imaginary
i own two monitors and two tvs that are crt
ik the feel

Best crt was 1440p16:10 165hz
i also know the feel of dragging my crt to lan parties
Lul g0rilla
right but we were talking average. not some rare 5000 dollar one.
bruh i used one of those bicycle wagon things
BUT : cool that it exists
This guy went to like 180/220 hz iirc on low reso
200
didn't know know but now i know
it states it

i want one of those little crt tvs
the text in the bottom shows 200hz yes
the little portable ones
800x600 the true gamer resolution
whats your source, quin?
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
The only difference will be height of the image on screen
he has 10
third google result for crt 200hz
and uses them as a crt wall
blurbusters forum
I toyed around with a crt for a while and you could basically increase vertical clock until your image was too small
i mean crts are theoretically only limited by phosphor response times iirc
Just beam more jiggawatz
nobody said the 200hz model is the average
this is a little off topic but i want something like this

No
Best one ever was 547,430,400 pixels per second
This Iiyama here is from 2004 and was the crown of CRTs it has 0ms response time and no other CRT was ever faster than the 512/514 Series from Iiyama.
Enjoy the sight!
#CRT #Sonic #Iiyama514
I want the Nvidia 20khz prototype panel
apparently the fastest crt
lol i want a modern CRT
best one i got is a black IBM for my retro computer and a jump trinitron for my consoles
OLED rolling scan
OLED Rolling scan?
Ye well it's the closest
Basically would be identical to a crt except even dimmer currently
The only disadvantage would be the static resolution
Yeah modern displays are too rigid in resos
honestly thats fine by me.
thankfully monitor makers have some time for gpu makers to catch up before we can fully utilize all that 
i think software developers need time ot catch up to the hardware. not the other way around.
The real problem is noone does that in reality cause it's a pain to design the tft
dude so many games are soooooooooooo unoptimized, compared to games like TF2 and others.
that just aint a game thats selling high end monitors that could raech that
Imo hz over 2x fps is a good target
you can even run team fortress 2 in DIRECT X 8
For slow games
how about a nice game like nekopara

yeah most source games also look bleak as hell
ofc that doesnt need a lot of gpu power
source games can look great.
And mouse movement on desktop is noticeable with different refresh
TFC>TF2
it's just most of them have ages almost twenty years and some even more
nah thats Gold engine
not Source
Titanfall 2 is definetly one of my top 3 games
Ye I'm a fossil
And it was released in 2016?
Team Fortress 2, not Titan Fall 2
we both are >.< probably. '91 for me.
Titanfall 2 is source 1 and runs relatively well
ure 91? jesus ure old
9 yrs and ure 100
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
no, thats not it.
well aside from upward where you drop to less than 100 on any existing cpu for whatever reason lmfao
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"
if it runs in dx8 it means it literally cant use any of the options only available in later versions?
No? Those things are simply disabled in DX8 mode, the game looks significantly different in DX8..
oh yes, I meant in dx8 what they can use there
thats.. not what the point was quin
not that the game never uses anything newer
Yup
Basically same story as GTX 480 in dx12
Basically everything is broken
the point was : it's old. it's old enough to have Direct X 8 in it.
Yeah, 2007 that's pr- oh right that's a very long time ago indeed
cries too
well the orignal point was that games are not reaching that high fps because of lacking optimisation, but that's not always the case
it very much is for several popular games.
take for instance Assassin's Creed series.
runs like dogass on carpet.
I would say it is, graphics aren't really getting that much better in some games, yet performance is significantly worse, why?
AC in big part because the focus of those games is to run on console
exactly NGH
and, exactly quin. that is part of the reason too.
bad ports is also bad optimization.
Although that applies to almost all software really ha
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.
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
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.
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
optimization is always an option. it's a choice.
there is no hardware limitation with exception to consoles.
half-life or quake?
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
there needs ot be context. optimal for what?
there's missing information
for how the game is designed to be
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
yeah and in that case if the gpu cant do top performance with ideal code, then its hardware thats limiting it
Hitman 2016+ has levels wiht hundreds of people
im not saying games are not lacking optimization btw
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.
yes a LOD style approach to npc
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
yes and doing all that can still end up not being enough
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.
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
optimization is coming to terms with reality and expectations and making it work.together.
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
thats a problem with the designer.
current modern hardware
is plenty ready for any and all games.
we literally even have VR room games
we literally have augmented reality games
what hardware are we missing?
Where's my metaverse shit
30 years ago we've had VR and AR stuff in 'sorta working' category but now we have them in good order.
I was told metaverse is the next big thing
what hardware do we need for what kind of game?
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
we've had games before that don't do loading screens
yes im talking about all that together
we've had games where the map size is larger than various countries.
any of them is easy alone
Daggerfall loads so fast its basically no loading screen.
"Retina" level refresh and resolution at full fov in vr for example
Why are we talking about 1990s game rn?
nah, even better : we are missing neural interfaces.
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
it wouldn't be anything, really.
just like daggerfall doesnt really high resolution for todays standards lol
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.
cool, doesnt hold the highest density of things in an area though
until you get into a city or town. and then they actually do.
which is not the entire map then
"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.
mh yes the high density HD grass
It's not even close to a game like hla for example
I.... I don't think you are understanding the point.
Or hunt showdown
Yes but how many?
i see trees
And how varied
At least 1 forest
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
it's enough for another 6 or 8 years.
partly because games are made knowing the specs, not because they all have what they want in it
Push the hardware now so we don't have to rush in 6-8 years?
There are always improvements to be made
i just think there are much more improvements to be made software wise at the moment than hardware. for now.
90 🙂
nice
sure thats fine, but what you said was
there is no hardware limitation
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?
The hardware and software design are surprisingly tightly integrated
Nvidia works with developers to figure out what were the previous bottlenecks of the last gen then improves them...
Vulkan
It already exists
DX12 ULTIMATE
i thought that was a higher api?
Where tho!
even if people could write assembly as easily as javascript that wouldnt make current hardware enough for everything
It's higher than asm and lower than opengl
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.
But it directly interfaces with the hardware without significant limits
oh god now you made me imagine vulkan but JIT
Lel
brb need some memory bleach
That's what shaders are for
true I do love shader bugs sometimes, they are easier to find unless you need to go really deep heh
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
sure and I still dont disagree there xD
I still just dont agree that there is no hardware limitation currently
this si true. honestly that is bad wording on my part.
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
Fuck Samsung in general, but specifically european ones
what are those?
mh yes, the one time they might actually have a chance to make exynos better than the snapdragon they drop it lolololol
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.
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
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
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
samsung more like assmung
also cerebras is added to the transistor website now @astral haven 😛
Sweet!
It's chip
Qualcomm is on ss nodes for alot of chips
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
HUZZUH I GOT THE STEAM DECK NOTIFICATION
🤷♀️ the leading chips will be on ss if they are cheaper per chip at the required performance
Congrats!!
aSIO RFHaer sdoiug hsrtouir
I AM SO JEALOUS
;-;
30% for me !!!
well I'd just guess SS would be able to get first access and could get it made on SS3 before QC could port the design to it
i never got that thing to work honestly. i just kept checking every mon-tue-wed
first game i'll run on it will be Runefactory 5 or maybe 4 UwU
why so? the screen reflections?
Gotta have the exclusive virtual keyboard theme
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
until it happens i feel like i have a better chance going to the moon than buying a samsung phone without Exynos
The bigger problem is the 512gb models are the biggest backorder queue
yeah, cause no one knew at the time that the SD card slot is almost as fast at loading games than the SSD
they move faster though
Not in the us
People were informed of that a while ago...
@neat oriole 🥳
im more surprised you have a section of your floor not full of shit

Lads
A quick question
6900XT for 990€ or 6950XT for 1350€ 
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
next gen
Need PC rn
Also who knows when those will come out
Not willing to wait 4 months or more
So, current gen it is
get something lower and upgrade then
idk depends on prices but would not go near halo products basically a quarter before next gen release
Seems like cheapest 3070 is 664€
What's the AMD equivalent for that card currently
6700XT?
6750 I think
watch HUB or similar and decide what games better fit what you will play
Fair enough, cheers
Ooh 6800 same price as 3070
I wonder if 6800 got obsoleted by 6750 or not
whats HUB?
Hardware unboxed
oh yeah
which versions of these specifically?
different manufacturers tweaked these.
also no, a 6750 is not gonna be better than a 6800*
Well I recall at launch 3070 smacked up 6800 or something like that
xt nitro+?
Interesting to see FineWine in action and AMD coming on top
ah
Looks like a stock GPU
you found one for 380 or such?
.. wat
thats the retail price
?
I buy 100 of them for 380
Since when
no wait
That not close to msrp
i was looking at wrong "pulse"
6800 was like 580$ on launch
i'm trying to find 6800 pulse >.>
Are you looking at like RX 580s
You won’t find msrp for most AiB models on either side this generation
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
Man I wish 6800 xt wasn't overpriced here
Such a sexy card for that performance
how much for a 6800xt? performance isn't far from the 3090
6800xt doesn't even touch 3080 let alone 3090
