[hoary hatch]

I don't think the apple TV 4k ever had USB but I only briefly googled

The Nvidia shield has USB

[pure garnet]

w i d e tv

[wise bear]

jfc the ycbcr girth

[pure garnet]

this one is special because it’s based on macos and not ios

[hoary hatch]

If apple tv had USB they'd sell less iTunes movies

Zen3 is better for gaming

Look at Facebook marketplace

[wise bear]

[hoary hatch]

@frank zealot My marketplace feed is evolving

[hoary hatch]

How much do you have to spend to get that? Thousands?

[wise bear]

I want this as the entrance to my office

100 pts to $1

[hoary hatch]

For all I know it's 1 steam point per dollar

Oh lmao

[wise bear]

that's $1800

[solid pelican]

my friend is asking if a 1080ti is worth getting now

[wise bear]

NO IT IS NOT

[solid pelican]

[hoary hatch]

Corsair bin

[wise bear]

oh compression got me

[hoary hatch]

Dom plats too lmao

I don't know why Corsair does shit bins in fancy dimms

[wise bear]

it sells because gamers are mostly fucking stupid

[keen wigeon]

those may have be first runs

[hoary hatch]

They're totally allowed to sell 5600 CL40 but keep it to basic vengeance

[keen wigeon]

I have some really early dominators that are shite

[hoary hatch]

My early ddr5 was 6200 CL36, complete shit

Actually that could have been the second revision 🤔

[wise bear]

goddamn dude

[pure garnet]

it’s corsair none of that is fancy tbf

[brisk jolt]

Buy cheap and upsell it to the moon tactic

[frank zealot]

holy shit:
I wonder how rough a condition they're in

[hoary hatch]

This requires people willing to buy expensive second hand

[pure garnet]

pcs be looking like used car lots now

[brisk jolt]

[hoary hatch]

I guess I could eBay it

But I'm unconvinced people are overpaying for ram on marketplace

[wise bear]

oh 100%

This is why you buy things like this out of the holiday season~

[pure garnet]

if i’m being scalped for ram im buying new

[wise bear]

same

[keen wigeon]

this makes me feel very old

[frank zealot]

DDR 2 holy crap

[wise bear]

2 i think

[frank zealot]

1gb sticks was decently large in DDR2 times

[hoary hatch]

Damn 14 years

Does predate my PC building

[keen wigeon]

there should be a graybush badge on steam

[frank zealot]

why... why... why....

What's in the boxes? Who knows... we just sell whatever shit happens to end up in them

[keen wigeon]

[wise bear]

@hoary hatch it just got mega windy here

[hoary hatch]

The wind hasn't been too bad

But endless rain

[wise bear]

it's supposed to piss rain today and be windy af

[arctic bronze]

rain dance! Keep it coming

https://tenor.com/view/wandance-gif-9861102330702664591

[wise bear]

Honestly I'll take rain over ice

[arctic bronze]

why not both? :D

twin casting

[hoary hatch]

Apparently this is called a Pineapple Express

[wise bear]

because the last time my area had ice 2 years back the entire area was shut down electrically and economically

[hoary hatch]

I'll be honest, it feels nothing like the movie

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-ice-storm-frost-breath-magic-gif-27020452

[wise bear]

you joke but some people were without power for over a month

for a good 2 days 33k~ people had no power

[hoary hatch]

I think we've lost power once

I wanna say that 2 years ago we lost power for a few hours

[wise bear]

you also have a vastly more dense power grid than we do

[hoary hatch]

I only suspect this because the UPS died while I was traveling

I still haven't replaced my ups

[pure garnet]

i’ve lost it a fair few times here

[wise bear]

[brave panther]

Check battery state

Life of ups battery is tipicaly 3-5y

[hoary hatch]

Plugged it in and the beeping never stopped so I put it into the garage until it fully discharged

[hoary hatch]

It's like 8 years

[brave panther]

Its dead

I am having batteries replaced on 3x ups tomorrow

[edgy laurel]

my old APC UPS battery went on like 9 years before it started complaining about being replaced. Since then its got a fan failure error under any kind of actual load so its been moved to the closet to do ONT/router duty.

where its 900W/1300VA self can deal with 30W

and not yell about its fan

[wise bear]

cant you just, replace the fan

[brave panther]

I killed one ups batteries by accident
Electricians shut off the power, ups drained and then i moved it to storage for a few months

[edgy laurel]

i'm certain i could if so inclined

[wise bear]

fair

[edgy laurel]

lead acid?

[brave panther]

Y

[edgy laurel]

hmm. rip

[wise bear]

SLA haaaates being stored with no charge

[brave panther]

It has 8x 12v lead acid batteries inside lmao

[wise bear]

JESUS

[brave panther]

Tiny ones

[wise bear]

what's the p/s?

[edgy laurel]

it was replaced by a 1000W/1500VA Cyberpower for the main system so I don't care about the closet unit anymore. It just sits and keep my router up

[brave panther]

Apc smart 3000kva 2u

[edgy laurel]

so you killed a big one, off

that wasn't a $60 battery replacement lol

[wise bear]

I thought about getting those lithium batteries that're bigger than 18650s to build a DC ups for my networking

[brave panther]

The big one is a relative term, for me its small

[wise bear]

No I meant like, the parallel/serial

[brave panther]

I can check price

[brave panther]

Serial

[wise bear]

that's a lot of 12v amperage jfc

[edgy laurel]

like those Anker/Jackery things that are sold as "generators" and I hate it?

[wise bear]

nooo this would be a little box that has like, 6-8 cells that specifically outputs 12v, 19v, and 24v

[brave panther]

Each battery is 24 euros

[brave panther]

Serial
Voltage is 96v

[wise bear]

Oh right

[brave panther]

5ah 12v

[wise bear]

my dumbass mixes up parallel and serial like I mix up left & right

[edgy laurel]

what about port and starboard

[wise bear]

port is.. right?

[edgy laurel]

left

[wise bear]

FUCK

[edgy laurel]

port = 4 letters
left = 4 letters

heard that ages ago and it stuck

[wise bear]

A good 70% of the time I have to stick my fingers up in Ls to determine left/right

[edgy laurel]

sheesh lol

I've got problems but luckily that ain't one lol

[wise bear]

It was bad when I was younger

Nowadays I do okay especially if I'm on the bike

[edgy laurel]

man speaking of bikers

there is this woman in my town doing the pool noodle thing

have you seen this?

[wise bear]

the what thing

[wise bear]

????????

[edgy laurel]

and riding on the road

[wise bear]

what in rartation

[edgy laurel]

the idea is it'll keep people from passing them too closely

[wise bear]

??????

learn to bike better ffs

I thought it was there for you to know if there was a car coming up on you or some dumb shit

pool noodle on smooth surfaces is like nails on a chalkboard

[wise bear]

WHAT THE FUCK

I would NEVER do that

[brave panther]

This is what i would consider big one, replaced it last week with a new one

[edgy laurel]

its quite annoying when you get stuck behind her

[wise bear]

God that's so fucking stupid

[arctic bronze]

I can see someone pissed off grabbing it and holding onto it causing a wreck

[edgy laurel]

the scale of this is actually difficult to tell until you focus on a known thing like the RJ45 port

[wise bear]

if someone hit me with one while I'm walking I'm grabbing that mf and yanking

[arctic bronze]

see lol

[wise bear]

Fucking christ

[brave panther]

There is 3m cat6a patch cable over it

Used to go to a bmx track in cottage Grove was pretty fun, a lifetime ago now itd seem

[wise bear]

there's an old bmx track here in eugene

[edgy laurel]

something very satisfying about how they put so little effort into landing as smoothly as possible with only forward momentum

[wise bear]

The guy in front has it down to a science holy fuck

like you can see him extend his legs to make the bike contact the ground

[young void]

Its a blast once you get the track down just gotta keep the momentum

[summer raft]

Should watch dirt bike races

[young void]

My cousins all do dirt bike races or at least used to, same same just with some more juice

https://tenor.com/view/motocross-red-bull-supercross-racing-off-road-riding-gif-22340356

Take the downhill with momentum, kiss the throttle toward the top

[edgy laurel]

thats different, i knew that might have been confusing. those guys are getting air

those bmx bikes are basically gliding flat, you can see them do it

all horizontal, it just looked cool is all

[wise bear]

get idiot children off social media lets goo

Dude my sister's apartment is so nice

[edgy laurel]

that stocked fridge

[wise bear]

tbh her fridge is kinda dinky so she picked that one up for all her drinks

fuckin' 2b3ba, 2 story apartment with a fucking spiral staircase to the top patio

AND it has a harry potter closet!!

I'm insanely jealous because she has NG in her apartment and has an on-demand water heater

Manufactured homes should have natural gas this is so gay

it's like there's some stupid county ordnance that no manufactured home parks can have natural gas

[vale cosmos]

lowkey a NG hater

[wise bear]

ng is so cheap here

[vale cosmos]

shit is expensive here 😭

nearly 1/2 of my bill is NG and i keep my heater set to 62 degrees lol

[wise bear]

electric is cheap, water is kinda cheap, and gas is cheap

like the water itself is cheap but it's the waste treatment that's 80% of the water bill tbh

[vale cosmos]

i'm paying $0.12 cents/kWh for electric and $1.17 per Therm of NG (whatever a therm is ?!)

water is just included in my rent so no clue how much that costs

[solid pelican]

2070 super or 3060 12gb

[pure garnet]

3060

[solid pelican]

how come

my friend is asking but to be honest i cant give him a straight answer so

[pure garnet]

more vram and presumably longer driver support

raster performance is roughly the same

[shell void]

if they’re the same price then the 3060 is the no brainer

[fringe vigil]

What a day

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel @wise bear
You ever considered re-foaming a speaker with clear silicon?

[wise bear]

I have never once attempted a diaphragm repair

if my drivers look like that I'm just buying new ones

[edgy laurel]

I've considered refoaming speakers but with a kit that comes with normal ones

[frank zealot]

where's the redneck engineering in that? lol

[wise bear]

[brisk jolt]

I have 2 decisions to make ugh

[wise bear]

I love laid-back camp

[brisk jolt]

reroll 9800x3d or go 9950x3d
phanteks evolv x2 or havn hs420

[wise bear]

get a nice black case

no side glass, no rgb.

[brisk jolt]

my aio and gpu are white lel

[wise bear]

get a nice white case

[brisk jolt]

reserved for my ITX

lowkey might just go evolv because as michael said without watercooling theres just lotta empty space

[edgy laurel]

BF360

[brisk jolt]

I dont like how its hella wide

[wise bear]

lf3 pro baybee

[brisk jolt]

Then again, the HS420 would double down as quite an nice subtable

[frank cypress]

I love how chill it is

I need to rewatch it

I forgot theres a season 3 ngl

[wise bear]

Every time I watch it I get a craving to go camping

[frank cypress]

haven't watched it yet but I like the style the last studio had, but I guess the new one wanted to match the Manga more

[wise bear]

I GET TO IN THE SPRING WOO

[brisk jolt]

@edgy laurel what’re your thoughts on HS420 as a new mini table

[fringe vigil]

Konichwa nihao

[wise bear]

I don't think I ever showed this gem I saw in portland

like that's how a fucking gladiator should be used

[pure garnet]

9850x3d in a month

[brisk jolt]

higher boost offers me basically nothing

[pure garnet]

having a ks is aura though

[topaz veldt]

whoa

[odd sable]

if higher boost isn't helpful, isn't 9950x3d the obvious answer then?

[topaz veldt]

cross-CCD can be problematic/no benefit

[brisk jolt]

I’d predict the 9850x3d to launch with shit price here anyway

I’d rather just reroll 9800x3d and use the b850mpower sooner

[odd sable]

whats your workload?

[topaz veldt]

I'll be selling 9800X3Ds cheaply

[odd sable]

i might take one then

my gaming PC currently has a 7800x3d in it, upgrades people, upgrades

[wise bear]

how cheap

[topaz veldt]

dunno yet

[wise bear]

Lemme know when you start

[topaz veldt]

So I am cleaning up my office

[hoary hatch]

I'll start the bidding at $1 per usual

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/kel-mitchell-good-burger-eyes-gif-5354648

[wise bear]

That's an OEM cable??

[wise bear]

wtf I thought you janked it together

[topaz veldt]

no

[wise bear]

god that's fucking expensive

[topaz veldt]

there is some sort of pcb halfway along it

[young void]

Make some moneyss snailss (if not in use ofc)

[wise bear]

Take one apart

[pure garnet]

sell a cable and a stick of ram and that’s another 5090 master ice

[young void]

XD

[topaz veldt]

I want to but not for $200-300

[brisk jolt]

My final config will likely just be the hs420 and rerolled 9800

[topaz veldt]

These Dell cables have the coolest Mobo side connector

[wise bear]

it's like a fucky xt100

[pure garnet]

watch the next one be a 6000 1.3v sample

[turbid locust]

lmk

[topaz veldt]

bro what

you telling me I have $1500 worth of cables here

[brisk jolt]

If I get another trashbin ill just deal with it lmao

[frank zealot]

sometimes server shit makes negative 10 sense

[topaz veldt]

well I am sure Dell sells these R760 GPU cable kits for like $2000

[frank zealot]

unless that's hand-made by an engineer and triple QC'd, ain't worth no 300 bucks

[topaz veldt]

There is definite manual labor on these

[brisk jolt]

I already listed the trashbin 9800 and board- atp im just waiting for next week

[fringe vigil]

It’s a great cpu what you on about

[brisk jolt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/36rNfd yeah this is pretty much it

[hoary hatch]

The correct option is for me to replace the battery
The lazy option is to buy a new one at costco

[brisk jolt]

ill see if theres any luck between the 6kC30 kit and the 7800C36 kit g1 jedec

well within the budget plan and I get… this fella and x6 p14 pros for essentially free

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust the mpower already went up $30 :\

[turbid locust]

[pure garnet]

student discount makes it 200 again at least

[turbid locust]

yeah swaggy

[pure garnet]

yeah i'll do that but i can't order till tomorrow

[turbid locust]

why not

[pure garnet]

im not the one paying for it

[turbid locust]

Oh lol

[wise bear]

Dude I love how easy it is to shop for gifts for my sister

"Hey what kinda shit do you want"
"New car accessories"

[hoary hatch]

That reminds me I was supposed to give my mother a list of stuff months ago

But I can't think of anything

[spiral quarry]

Lol my secret santa this year is simple. Just elden ring figures, cigars, and beer.

[wise bear]

I'm kinda thinking just asking for like a sister+sister camping trip or something

I think that'd be fun as fuck going to like, montana in the summer or some shit

[spiral quarry]

What sucks is the figures he wants are on etsy and well they don't arrive till after our gift exchange

[wise bear]

Oh just give him an iou

[spiral quarry]

sooo I resorted to tech items

[wise bear]

That also works lol

[spiral quarry]

wireless magsafe charger stand for his phone

[spiral quarry]

my list has this . Nothing stopping me from adding gag stuff I know no one is getting me

[wise bear]

I saw some japanese dad on yt shorts had one of those wall ones installed lmao

[spiral quarry]

and some other guy in the group has a whole pallet of water

[frank cypress]

no way not the school water fountain

[wise bear]

yeah you can legit get them for residential shit

[spiral quarry]

hey last year I had the older model, this is the upgraded one.

[wise bear]

I think home depot sells them lol

[spiral quarry]

would be funny if I randomly installed one in my backyard

[devout ridge]

this is surprisingly cheap

but also pick a better brand of water

[low sorrel]

todays title and thumbnail is fucking wild

[arctic bronze]

the latest video LTT just uploaded is cringe ngl, im not talking about the cancer topic, im glad he beat it, but the video itself just seems, off. I cant finish it

I got half way

[hoary hatch]

Huh, MLID hasn't posted that Intel is doomed in a while. Maybe it was sensationalism all along

[wise bear]

I just looked at the thumbnail and I already don't want to fucking watch

what the fuck

[arctic bronze]

its pretty bad ngl

it does not feel like an LTT video

[hoary hatch]

It felt half assed

[arctic bronze]

it felt forced

[hoary hatch]

Sometimes the ultimate upgrades hit, sometimes they miss

[arctic bronze]

also the gross ass house made it worse

[hoary hatch]

It's lived in

I wouldn't call it gross by any means

Granted I watched in a pip window on my phone so I mostly listened

[arctic bronze]

its very dirty

a weekly clean would fix that

[hoary hatch]

Is it actually dirty or just messy

[arctic bronze]

both

[wise bear]

oh jesus

[wise bear]

like I get that, he's probably bedridden a lot from the chemo

[arctic bronze]

this isnt a "the video made the house look messy" it was nasty WAY before this

[wise bear]

honestly I'm not gonna dock anything because his house is messy/dusty

[arctic bronze]

he has a decent amount of hair back so i assume that was a good bit of time ago now

[wise bear]

oh, well

[arctic bronze]

they did show what he looked like through chemo

[wise bear]

..weird

[arctic bronze]

I aint hating on the cancer thing, just everything else

[wise bear]

it just feels like a really fucked up vid

100% not watching that one

[arctic bronze]

yeah, I got half way and dipped

[pure garnet]

i watched it and it didn't really bother me but i was also doing something else

[arctic bronze]

when I was skipping around, dude straight up just started to read manga and never interacted again

[wise bear]

In other news I love my 2.5g home network

[arctic bronze]

yeah 2.5 is nice

[pure garnet]

a linux iso

i thought those were only euphemisms

[arctic bronze]

if you want 1GB/second 10gig is where its at

[wise bear]

yeah I'm throwing a linux and windows iso on the server so it's out of my dl folder

[wise bear]

its already done lmao

[pure garnet]

i used to have 10gig lan

but my thinkcenter doesn't have a 10g port

and now my desktop doesn't have a 10g port

[wise bear]

I don't wanna use up the pcie lanes tbh

[pure garnet]

so i just have 2 10g nics sitting in my room lol

[arctic bronze]

I do 10gig for server to server and server to main computer connections

[wise bear]

because I'd have to drop an nvme drive in my main rig, drop one in my render node, and then get a pcie card for the server

[pure garnet]

i need to order a front panel splitter so i can use the power button my second pcs case

[arctic bronze]

just OC ur nic to be 25gig, its that easy

[pure garnet]

rn all i have is the doohickey

[wise bear]

AND THEN I'd have to get at least a 4 port 10g switch and at that point I'd rather go fiber with 25g and build a dirty flash array

[pure garnet]

this is the only thing i miss about my x870 really

[arctic bronze]

its Only at 10x multiplier

[pure garnet]

because i could do 3 nvme + a 10g nic without issue

on this board i don't think i can

oh apparently i can actually

[arctic bronze]

my nas has SSD cached accelerated hard drives

[pure garnet]

neato, common loong nia w

[wise bear]

🙄

[arctic bronze]

the ssd cache helps on some things

That's the joke he knows one person in the group hates Crystal Geyser.

Ethernet wire overclock

[pure garnet]

my pc is at 75c with a 360 aio installing a steam game, i must delid and custom loop asap

[vapid matrix]

So I just got a free upgrade to Spectrum Gig. My phone is getting the full 1+ gb down and ~40 up. My PC on the other hand is maxing out at around 17 up, hardwired with cat 7 cables (both on modem to router, and router to pc).

I have done a full power cycle on all 3. Shut down modem, router, and PC for 31+ seconds. Then booted them back up. Still maxing out at around 17 up. I've changed device mgr for my 2.5gb port on my PC and it is set to 2.5 gbps full duplex.

My router is a Linksys MR75WH.

[topaz veldt]

we don't really have that here

[shell void]

are you using several ethernet couplers or wall plates in the run?

[teal orbit]

all Ethernet works by benchmarking the wire while connecting

[shell void]

if not then i’d assume a bad cable or nic driver issue

[teal orbit]

I think

[turbid locust]

@shell void @topaz veldt @merry stirrup

[vapid matrix]

nothing in between. direct from modem to router and from router to pc. nothing else in between

[turbid locust]

they sent the wrong boards lmfao

[shell void]

you probably have, but try a different known-good cable

[devout ridge]

They test what frequency will get them 100% packet delivery rates and what either side can support, the actual thing that makes the ethernet faster is a higher frequency

[vapid matrix]

i have tried 3 cables.

[shell void]

[odd mantle]

Man im quite late to the party

[teal orbit]

make an algorithm to do this for CPU overclock

[odd mantle]

finally got my hand on the fuckass case

[topaz veldt]

lol wow

[devout ridge]

that's called PBO

[pure garnet]

uh oh

[shell void]

if the cables and ports on your router with other devices then i guess its the fault of the NIC in your PC

[vapid matrix]

I've been hearing that the linksys mr7500 series may have some problems that can't really be fixed, but not sure on that

[wise bear]

Oh my god this in powertoys is WILDLY powerful

[shell void]

have you tried forcing 1Gb on the PC to see if that works?

[turbid locust]

I thought mine was caught but now it’s in Chicago? lol

[shell void]

940/40 is better than 17Mbps xd

[wise bear]

I can now seamlessly go between my laptop with 2 displays and my desktop with 2 displays while sharing clipboard and incredibly low latency

[shell void]

you don’t wanna be maxing out your wan connection anyway

you’ll get queue bloat which causes packet loss and inconsistent latency

[vapid matrix]

router speedtest shows 1000/40, phone gets 1000/40 on same router.

I'm thinking maybe it could be the lan ports on the router to pc end?

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust you playing Arc?

[turbid locust]

I played a little bit around launch but stopped for no real reason

Just one of those games that aren’t fun solo for me so unless I have someone to play with I just don’t lol

[pure garnet]

the gta v rt does nothing for me

well, besides obliterate the fps

[turbid locust]

yeah lol

I just hate that it’s fps capped to 120

But it makes sense cause it’s literally just the PS5 port

With DLSS added

[fringe vigil]

Only in khazakstan

[vapid matrix]

hm, tested my PC on wifi (5 ghz) and it goes up from 800-900 down, to 1100 down. But the upload stays around 17.

I would prefer ethernet to wifi tho

it isn't for me

[low sorrel]

[topaz veldt]

[turbid locust]

Oh maybe I’m misremembering

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust come play

[turbid locust]

I’m at work boss

[topaz veldt]

damnit

[low sorrel]

one sec

[topaz veldt]

I need one more rusted tools

[low sorrel]

damn i just scrapped and sold them all

i had like a full stack

[low sorrel]

it says you're offline

[topaz veldt]

weird

you too

[low sorrel]

im kinda tempted to sell my entire stash

would be a nice little payday

[topaz veldt]

rofl WHAT

how do you sell all

[low sorrel]

multi select and click 280 times 💀

[arctic bronze]

linus responded to my comment over the 1917 joke XD

[vapid matrix]

weird. I had NetLimiter completely disabled. Not in startup, not in startup folder. It was not running unless I manually turned it on.

So... I turned it on manually and now I'm getting ~37/40 up?

So netlimiter un-limited my upload? lol

[low sorrel]

it says your offline on steam

[wise bear]

why are you running a limiter in the first place

[vapid matrix]

I wasn't.

that's the thing. it was not running at all and the upload was halved

[wise bear]

no but why do you have a net limiter installed

[vapid matrix]

but I turned it ON for the first time in weeks and it instantly fixed it

[low sorrel]

@wise bear get on arc raiders

[wise bear]

NUH

[vapid matrix]

bc for a while there I wanted to leave like 2-3 Mbps available for discord calls while uploading large files to the cloud

[low sorrel]

yuh huh

[wise bear]

that's..

I'm sorry that's mega dumb

[vapid matrix]

hey, spectrum sucks. plus proton drive/yt want to suck up every single bit of upload

[wise bear]

There's this REALLY COOL thing called QoS

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt i think your steam is fucked

[wise bear]

its tuesday, steam maintenance

[vestal granite]

i kept telling people when it came out this does almost literally nothing and arguably makes the game look worse but everyone was like nooo loook nvidia RT loooook

always the diehard nvidia people who were swearing by gta RT and i dont have the energy these days to yell at them well enough

#tech-chat-2 message

no upscaling btw thats just default fuzziness

[low sorrel]

i mean it looks good at night

at the day i can't tell shit i can't lie

[vestal granite]

i would argue that instead of an RT update they should have just plagiarized reshade

[turbid locust]

bro these are the hours you told me to work

[steel stream]

gotta switch to work from home

[turbid locust]

I could not do my job from home lmao

[low sorrel]

nah you can

[turbid locust]

negative

[low sorrel]

don't believe these lies

[steel stream]

tbh i have no idea what you do

[low sorrel]

me too

[edgy laurel]

its so good https://youtu.be/Jhp7hCVHf-k?t=191

[vestal granite]

the problem is, ive lived off of grand theft auto 5 for probably a decade of my life and i really cant see the difference

[wise bear]

dude gtav graphics are so fucking refined

[low sorrel]

is the enhanced edition moddable yet

[vestal granite]

and then people go like well you arent supposed to be able to see the difference it just looks subtley better but i dont care about that because thats how i saw the game for the past 2000 years with my delusions

[vapid matrix]

I mean ... if it fixed the upload issue without slowing download, I'll keep using it. I guess its possible the realtek drivers aren't that great or something

[wise bear]

Q o S

S

[vapid matrix]

I'm not super techy, just somewhat

[pure garnet]

yeah but rt in the xbox 360

[low sorrel]

yall see those gta graphics mods

[vestal granite]

oh that reminds me, past week or two ive had zero network driver issues so the thing that fixed it was disabling IOMMU in bios

splain that, scientists

[pure garnet]

iommu was the issue

[steel stream]

idk

[wise bear]

Yes.

[vestal granite]

[wise bear]

Also get a better router lmao

[vapid matrix]

that also gave me a few issues in the past with my smart speakers so I disabled it.

still have the OG google home

[pure garnet]

dang it’s 4pm already

i’ve done nothing today

[steel stream]

@topaz veldt I've got a final later tonight lol

[vapid matrix]

I'd like to ... but other priorities (car repairs) take priority.

But spectrum offered a free speed upgrade so I took it

[pure garnet]

1000/40 is criminal

[vestal granite]

thats standard

[vapid matrix]

it is

they're supposedly upgrading our town starting in jan

to something like 1000/500

[topaz veldt]

who cares bro cmon

[vapid matrix]

but that will take 2-3 months or so

[pure garnet]

i have gig sym as the base plan from my isp

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream @low sorrel and I are waiting for you

[pure garnet]

jerry? waiting? a tall tale

[vestal granite]

me too but 1000/40 is standard due to bad

[topaz veldt]

I guess Jerry and I will have to beat Arc Raiders by ourselves @steel stream

[steel stream]

the final is 30% of my grade

[turbid locust]

operations manager in a hospital

shit I gotta be in person for to talk to people lol

because when shit explodes it explodes

some days I can shitpost on discord, other days I’m investigating safety incidents lmao

It’s actually funny af

[vapid matrix]

well, turning priority on and setting pc to #1 (phone #2) it instantly dropped ~200 mbps. Second pic, turning priority off instantly brought it back on first test after disabling. So either Linksys' priority feature is broken, or something else

[topaz veldt]

All I heard is "its less than 100%"

just turn off your data or your wifi and pick one

yeah that doesn’t help lmfao

[pure garnet]

you are ebays first customer ever

[turbid locust]

[livid flame]

Turns out the latest Minecraft bedrock update broke my windows

[pure garnet]

nobody has ever bought anything on ebay

[ripe needle]

[livid flame]

The fk is Microsoft doing these days.

[turbid locust]

deserved for playing bedrock

[pure garnet]

its that legacy hardware you got too

[ripe needle]

Chat gpt please help

[pure garnet]

zen 4 is not enough for windows 11

[livid flame]

Don’t hold it against my 5 year old… he’s 5

[pure garnet]

i was just playing beta 1.8.3 for like 2 hours

the youngins can handle the better versions

1.8.1 actually

[livid flame]

Like 20mins to update drivers after a win11 install. All games loaded on other ssd. Simple these days to os reinstall tbh

[turbid locust]

1.7.10 my goat everything else stfu

[ripe needle]

Am I getting scammed

[low sorrel]

1.8.9

[livid flame]

I remember it used to be like 3 hours to return your windows back to “yours”

[pure garnet]

i normally play 1.5.2 but i went all the back to the old betas after seeing a youtube vid on them

[turbid locust]

I usually just play whatever latest version is ngl lmao

[low sorrel]

minecraft confuses me

[pure garnet]

oh nah i hate the caves rework

[low sorrel]

why is there so much new shit

[pure garnet]

i'll play the boomer version and be happy

[low sorrel]

this is true

[ripe needle]

Wii u for $100 has to be a scam right?

[pure garnet]

just check the seller

[livid flame]

Minecraft has been fun since pre release tbh

[pure garnet]

doesn't look that crazy

[livid flame]

Never ceases to amaze me, how it can stay the same and fresh without too much shit added

[low sorrel]

is the wii u just a like a ds that plays wii games

[livid flame]

It’s kind of like a PS one in terms of graphics

So slightly better than a ds

[pure garnet]

no it's a buffed wii with a dumb tablet you can play games on

[livid flame]

The Wii was awesome

[low sorrel]

I bought wii

[livid flame]

Smallest and cheapest dvd player I had

[low sorrel]

played it once

never used it again

[livid flame]

Oh yeah I played Wii sports and fit with my family for a month then it just became a dvd player

[low sorrel]

same thing happened with the 2DS in my drawer and the switch

[shell void]

i played gamecube more than wii but wii was coo

[livid flame]

It was ahead of its time tbh

If Nintendo knew about VR it would have patented that controller system more heavily

[shell void]

motion controls and online gaming were meant to come out with the gamecube but didn’t really happen until the wii

they had to rebrand and get a bigger install base

[livid flame]

They cheaped out on hardware though as always

I’m still amazed people put up with the shite on switch / 2

When palworld looks like a real game and Pokemon looks like someone made it for the sega Saturn and people lap pokemon up

[low sorrel]

switch 2 hardware is fine

[ripe needle]

That's the Wii u

It's a controller for it

Think ps portal but og

[livid flame]

Like most Nintendo games can now be made by 12 year olds in a month. They look bad and play simply.

Billion dollar company that

[ripe needle]

The devs spent more time on making feet renders for a character than making the actual map in the newest Pokemon game

[dawn plover]

the Wii was the GOAT

[dawn plover]

Switch 2's biggest problem is the $100 games imo

[ripe needle]

Switch 2's biggest problem is Nintendo

[pallid marsh]

And plastic non OLED screens with stick drift joy cons

[wicked obsidian]

Any camera people here? Anyway to try fix this on my Canon RF 100-500 lens? It got dropped...

I think it has something to do with the stabiliser, because different mods have different amounts of bad.

[edgy laurel]

the first part is what you get when you make a console for pre-teens

[ripe needle]

I don't think cameras are supposed to do that

[dawn plover]

yeah it seems silly to me that they started by releasing an IPS version after they had already made a Switch 1 with an OLED

[wicked obsidian]

Modes*
If nobody has any ideas i can ask them about warranty (a week old) but I dont think they will since it was dropped

[ripe needle]

I immediately cracked my switch OLED a week after purchase

[dawn plover]

skill issue tbh

[ripe needle]

I feel asleep with it

And ig my phone charger scratched it

Not that noticeable tbf

[dawn plover]

welp

[ripe needle]

I only paid $300 so

And I got it before they increased the price

[pallid marsh]

Smh no glass screen protector

[ripe needle]

I added it after scratching it

OLED screens are so nice

[edgy laurel]

🙏

[ripe needle]

I got an OLED phone after I witnessed the switch

[pallid marsh]

She thicc

[dawn plover]

I've never used a screen protector on a phone before but I've also never cracked a screen

[fringe vigil]

so do i, a iPhone 16 pro max..

[icy folio]

Hello I am new here

[edgy laurel]

Old tech

[pallid marsh]

I hate micro scratches so I use one and replace it every so often

[ripe needle]

I have a moto g stylus 2025

[turbid locust]

clean

[edgy laurel]

I don’t use screen protectors at all and have no scratches. I’m also neurotic about ensuring it’s in a pocket alone and facing my thigh.

My 12 Pro Max was traded in looking brand new.

[dawn plover]

I've only ever gotten small scratches once, but I'm not sure how it even happened

[edgy laurel]

After nearly 5 years.

[icy folio]

I find someone to work with me

[edgy laurel]

[dawn plover]

my first OLED was my Pixel 3, and that was pretty nice

[edgy laurel]

the quad dom's are triggering me though

[fringe vigil]

whats guilty on about old tech

dummy

[turbid locust]

any 4 dimm board is a slight ding for me

[low sorrel]

i've somehow broken my phone 4 times in like 6 years but i've cracked the glass only once

[edgy laurel]

iPhone 16? psh.. not even a 17?

[ripe needle]

$1000 phone yet no 68 watt charging 😂

[dawn plover]

it's not the latest iPhone, so surely it's old and outdated by now /S

back in the day people used to buy a new iPhone every year, which is a bit crazy to think about now

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel @spiral quarry If F1 is really that good, then why’s everyone fighting to finish first?

[shell void]

@topaz veldt @merry stirrup @pure garnet @steel stream @hoary hatch

No need to upgrade from the new'ish~ iPhone 3GS, really

[vestal granite]

can they just pick a better name

[shell void]

CES announcement and march availability i presume

[vestal granite]

we're really doing Bartlett lake

[pure garnet]

i won't believe it till i see it

[pure garnet]

that's really not all that much for an adult to spend if it's their hobby

[edgy laurel]

I've never done any of those things since my first phone in 2004ish.

[pure garnet]

$800-1200 a year?

[shell void]

if it works in Z790 then i might just have to get one for fun

[edgy laurel]

I don't get it

[ripe needle]

Should I finally get my license

[edgy laurel]

Can we just ban "should I x?" questions

[dawn plover]

yeah who even needs LTE amirite

[ripe needle]

I like to procrastinate

[vestal granite]

next generation after Bartlett Lake will be named Alan Lake

[low sorrel]

because if it was good they wouldn't want to leave

[pure garnet]

sweden probably doesn't have the infra for it

[pallid marsh]

I work in a dirty warehouse 😢

[pure garnet]

since europe is stuck in the stone age with no air conditoning

[vestal granite]

truth

[dawn plover]

sure, but the way modern phones are not radically changing anymore, it's not worth upgrading all the time just for minor improvements

[vestal granite]

europeans insist their world is more advanced because they have milk vending machines where you fill up a container with milk but i would argue that nobody asked for a milk vending machine

[hoary hatch]

Socketed?
Unlocked?
Raptor cove?

[pure garnet]

upgrading yearly was never worth it

but if someone likes doing it it's not very expensive vs other hobbies

[vestal granite]

i think thats because back in the day people were in highschool and needed the newest iphone to be cool

[dawn plover]

I mean yeah I agree but it's even less worth it today

[vestal granite]

nowadays nobody goes to school so they just use whatever phone until its slow or they get bored of it cause changing phones is such a hassle with all the 2FAs and such

[hoary hatch]

I thought this was a now issue

[shell void]

LGA1700, 12p raptor cove monolithic, 6.0p 1T 5.5p nT, NOT core multiplier unlocked, unknown whether consumer boards will get uCode to support it

[hoary hatch]

When I was in high school, people still had flip phones

[low sorrel]

i can't remember the last time anyone actually cared about what phone i had

[pure garnet]

i'll probably go 15 pro max -> 17 pro in a couple months when my installment ends

the a17 isn't a super efficient chip

[vestal granite]

it was a period of time between 2009 and 2019 and then 2020 everyone got depressed so they care about other stuff now

[hoary hatch]

W, W, W, L, L

[shell void]

i’m fine with multiplier being locked if it’s still undervoltable

[icy folio]

I find someone to work with me

[shell void]

5.5 allcore is okay

[dawn plover]

I remember getting questions about my Pixel 3 in school but I would just flex it on them because at the time it was better than the iphones people were rocking (this was 2018)

[edgy laurel]

Gymkhana is back

[hoary hatch]

It just feels wrong to use an Intel desktop CPU without a K in the name

[pure garnet]

6.0 on intel 7 still sounds like disaster waiting to happen

[vestal granite]

pixel users trying to explain how its better than iphones to the people who dont actually care and just care if its a iphone or not

[hoary hatch]

But it would be a great upgrade for all the 12400F users on B660 boards

[shell void]

real gangsters will drop it down to 5.5 at all times and undervolt 🙏

[dawn plover]

it's crazy to me how huge the whole "blue bubble (imessage) and green bubble" thing was back in the day with teens

[pure garnet]

pixel fans explaining how their poop tier exynos soc rebrand is actually a good chip in a phone

[hoary hatch]

Okay but what if it was actually Intel 3 shrunk

[pallid marsh]

iPhones sucked until they got OLED screens

[vestal granite]

thats not back in the day thats very meta flame material right now

[pure garnet]

i mean imessage is straight up better than sms we don't have to be that revisionist

[dawn plover]

oh someone mentioned my PC

[turbid locust]

Forgot to charge my phone last night and low power mode just kicked in and I forgot how ass 60Hz looks

[shell void]

it would use RWC or RWC+ if it was

[vestal granite]

real gangsters will buy it and not use it because intel just needs the money right now

[hoary hatch]

I still want to see monolithic intel silicon on an SUV process

[pure garnet]

sms and mms are dinosaur tech

[dawn plover]

are kids still doing this? damn I thought that was dead along with Snapchat

[hoary hatch]

12 RWC+ on Intel 3 would also be amusing

[shell void]

12p RWC+ with AVX512 on Intel 3 would’ve been so cool :(

[vestal granite]

snapchat is also a very recent thing and also still exists

intel should open a venmo group pay thing to fund their next GPU generation

[pure garnet]

it would be a tough sell for arrowlake owners to have a superior chip launch on the last gen boards lmfao

[fringe vigil]

ah shi here we again

[shell void]

if it was that fabled config then it would launch on Z890 instead

[edgy laurel]

bro 1.7 was huge, 1.7.1 is a small tweak. If you haven't played since launch, it will crash unless you remove all the mods

[shell void]

meteor lake on Z890 almost happened 🥀

[merry stirrup]

wow useless cpus

im so excited for 12 cores only 2 years late

[turbid locust]

Put this in AMD shill terms

[merry stirrup]

are we cooked

[shell void]

it’s just 14900K but 12p0e instead of 8p16e

[dawn plover]

"very recent"
2017 was 8 years ago. I was in grade 8? and now I'm almost graduated uni

[turbid locust]

oh

[vestal granite]

7900x3d

[merry stirrup]

no

[turbid locust]

Mines still moving so idk

[pure garnet]

i would assume it's moving back to their warehouse

[turbid locust]

I asked spicer if they asked him to send it back and he didn’t reply so

[shell void]

imagine if they refund yall and then list the MPower for $300 instead

[turbid locust]

no it got closer to me lmao

[turbid locust]

still a buy lmao

[shell void]

at that point why not import an AYW

[fringe vigil]

i played at launch wym

[pure garnet]

i mean it's up to $230 now

i missed out on the $199 pricing

[edgy laurel]

Jorj. Read. If you have mods installed from your first launch playthrough, the game will not function unless you remove them. Its been a whole year, a ton of updates. All your mods are out of date.

[shell void]

cope

[dawn plover]

fr though, I think I'm gonna be keeping my 12400F for years to come. I'd probably upgrade GPU anyways before I even think about a platform upgrade

[fringe vigil]

oh ffs

[young void]

If it has the functions ya know

[fringe vigil]

those mods were great

[pure garnet]

i order b850 mpower tomorrow

[turbid locust]

so are these literally just clock speed buffed 9800X3Ds or

[low sorrel]

yall see that the austrailia under 16 ban is active now?

[pure garnet]

yeah it's literally just 400mhz more

[turbid locust]

so unnerfed

[pure garnet]

same chip same stepping

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

so you check each one on Nexus for updates. Every time there is a game update, youhave to get a new copy of a mod in most cases.

[turbid locust]

I no longer grind ranked I simply queue

[vestal granite]

yeah my country is pretty high censorship these days so i have to VPN so i dont have to ID verify on a bunch of stuff for my work

[edgy laurel]

i'm scared to ask why this is a square

[turbid locust]

if rank go up it goes up if it go down it go down

[pallid marsh]

Damn you get 3 times the regular vcache?

[vestal granite]

hes a sweat who plays on 4:3 to make enemies larger because skill issue

but they usually say framerate

[edgy laurel]

[pure garnet]

4:3 stretched in valorant is swamp ass gaming bro

[vestal granite]

forbidden counter strike technology brought over to valorant

[pure garnet]

that game does NOT need all that

the enemies literally glow

[low sorrel]

actually im not even doing it properly

[shell void]

@hoary hatch hey look bro it’s your future laptop

[low sorrel]

it's just streching the ui

[vestal granite]

atleast in counter strike you need a faster reaction time (where valorant you need a bigger brain admittedly) so the 4:3 locked in stuff is more reasonable also people have played it for 25 years and some are just used to a 4:3 monitor

[turbid locust]

this is why idgaf about Val ranked anymore as far as trying to push rank. I just don’t care anymore. Shit is designed for the unemployed

(I crashed out hard last night)

[edgy laurel]

all multiplayer games are designed for the unemployed, or the employed to game

[pure garnet]

i haven't played league solo/duo in years

[pallid marsh]

Who the hell makes huracan

[pure garnet]

anything above masters is either unemployed or a streamer

[edgy laurel]

Lambo

[low sorrel]

play with me and my friend we'll tank your mmr

[pure garnet]

and then anything in the diamond-platnium is hell

[vestal granite]

or they play the game in their free time

[turbid locust]

Val’s specific matchmaking system is genuine hell if you just don’t have time to play 6 hours a day

[low sorrel]

woah woah woah my friend has a job and he's challenger in league

[pure garnet]

unless you have the time to do the grind and stay in the mmr, they do not

[low sorrel]

granted he is a crypto bro and is kinda weird

[turbid locust]

Like I literally cannot duo queue with half this lobby

[low sorrel]

im getting just fine and normal games bro

[turbid locust]

I had 3 matches in a row last night where half the lobby is Ascendant

[shell void]

brutal Veto smurf

[low sorrel]

bro can my mini led monitor arrive sooner

[vestal granite]

you dont need to grind to stay in mmr, it doesnt go up that much after the first couple weeks of season. you have to play 1 game per day at Master+ and if you play multiple in a day itll bank up to 14 days

[turbid locust]

Hidden MMR is an idiotic mechanic

[pallid marsh]

78c CPU at 21% usage?

[low sorrel]

ak620 is weak idk man

[shell void]

two cores are screaming for their life

[vestal granite]

so if you play 1 match after work every day you can maintain master+ in league, or if you play a bunch of games on the weekend youll maintain it too

[low sorrel]

they actually are lol

90% usage

[low sorrel]

also my cpu fan doesn't ramp up until 80c

[pallid marsh]

Why

[pure garnet]

its not the grind to stay there it's the one to get there

[low sorrel]

wtf it's drawing 100w rn?

[pure garnet]

even riot accounts can only place diamond

[vestal granite]

to get there is easy(ier) once youve done it once

its like 150 games to get back

season lasts for a year

[low sorrel]

well it ramps between 75-80

and then an even sharper one at 80-90

before it maxes at 90

[oak vector]

Sometimes I forget I have a set of studio monitors
I’m so used to using headphones 😭

[pallid marsh]

That's what you get for having a shit am4 CPU

[low sorrel]

my cpu is drawing more then my 3060 rn

[pallid marsh]

Such a low spec PC smh

[low sorrel]

i should limit my fps in menu shouldn't i

[oak vector]

what cpu lols

[turbid locust]

If you don’t have a 5090 wtf are you even doing

[low sorrel]

5800x

[oak vector]

oh that explains it lmao

Toasty boi

[pallid marsh]

Not buying space heaters

[turbid locust]

should be limiting your fps always if you know what’s good for ya

[vestal granite]

eating $3 for 2 dollar store cans of corned beef hash fried up with an egg on top

[low sorrel]

But it's very marginally better in game to have your frames way above your refresh rate

[oak vector]

Dead ass
I think I have a heater that draws less than a 5090

[hoary hatch]

[turbid locust]

if you can prove to me you can differentiate between 1ms I’ll take that as an excuse

[hoary hatch]

Didn't know Lamborghini was making laptops

[low sorrel]

Hear me out

[turbid locust]

otherwise, Vsync + Gsync + Reflex is literally within 1ms of uncapped framerate

[low sorrel]

It's cold and my power is cheap

[vestal granite]

i cant differentiate between having a brain tumor and not having a brain tumor but i would still say if i had a brain tumor that would be bad you know what i mean

[pallid marsh]

Your a blind mouse does it really matter

[hoary hatch]

Is this real lmao

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-point-debate-argument-angel-gif-17274775

[edgy laurel]

yes.

[vestal granite]

its cool cause its like the lights on a car

[pallid marsh]

You could put the nerf logo on it and I would believe it was a real partnership

[turbid locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/LiUGksHCh7 @low sorrel good read if you even care

[oak vector]

I’m really starting to dislike living in a two story house without separate climate control upstairs

[vestal granite]

if you're really short you could take a photo with that laptop and say you just got a new lamborghini

[edgy laurel]

rear is meant to look like the rear of an aventador

[low sorrel]

is more frames still marginally better?

[oak vector]

as an Aussie, it’s already hot
But all the damn heat rises right into my room

Like. Bottom floor might be a nice 16c
Top is easily 22-25c

[vestal granite]

woah yeah well okay yeah they certainly tried their best

[turbid locust]

if you consider <1ms “margin” sure

[low sorrel]

ok so we send it

[pallid marsh]

Is it as loud as one too?

[turbid locust]

Jerry fuckin LOVES screen tearing

[vestal granite]

if you get screen tearing you can use it to your advantage to peer beyond this mortal plain

[oak vector]

I can’t remember the last time I saw screen tearing lmao

[turbid locust]

The only game I run an uncapped framerate on anymore is CS2 because that game is so unbelievably fucked up it feels like shit under 400fps

[vestal granite]

the world is a simulation, nothing is real Jerry. nothing is real.

[pallid marsh]

The aoc Bestbuy version?

[edgy laurel]

It was late 2016 and I got my first GSync display

[merry stirrup]

they had ferrari ones too

[vestal granite]

i play CS2 at 120fps and 90fps on some maps with water

[low sorrel]

no the acer 1700 nit eye burning one

[turbid locust]

This is just another thing Guilty put me on that’s changed my life for the better btw

[turbid locust]

feels like slow motion

[edgy laurel]

lame with just a logo though. rear didn't look like a car!

[vestal granite]

im only faceit 8 so it doesnt cause many problems but if i want to go higher ill probably run into issues where moving objects slideshow too much

[pallid marsh]

Didn't they have a hefty premium for that gsync tech and sticker ?

[low sorrel]

im faceit level 1

[turbid locust]

bro said only Faceit 8 lol

[low sorrel]

haven't played faceit since 2017

[turbid locust]

imagine if you weren’t nerfed by your setup

[low sorrel]

we should que cs

[turbid locust]

I think I peaked at FaceIt 6 but currently am like 4 lol

[edgy laurel]

Yes, the display I got was a first gen model with the full GSync module. Sad though, today that display is still in use but those first gen GSync modules don't support normal Adaptive Sync so VRR doesn't work with the AMD GPU its plugged into now.

[vestal granite]

i mean the setup isnt too much of a nerf i dont think, i have like 75-85 aim on leetify usually

[turbid locust]

I’m tilting at Valorant you really think I’d be willing to go play the worse game that feels like shit

[low sorrel]

i struggle to hit 165 fps on my 3060 in cs icl

which is fucking wild

[turbid locust]

what resolution cause i remember testing my 1080 and it was fine

[vestal granite]

i have 5800x & RX 6600 and i just kinda dont get frames at 1080p

[pallid marsh]

Rip

[low sorrel]

1920x1440

on most maps it's fine

[turbid locust]

Word

[edgy laurel]

i hate you

[low sorrel]

but fucking train man

[vestal granite]

4:3 is crazy

[pallid marsh]

Your autistic

[vestal granite]

train my PC just takes out a knife and stabs me if i queue it

[turbid locust]

non native is deadass cope

[vestal granite]

thats what im saying i use native resolution, mouse acceleration enabled, default keybinds default sens default dpi on my mouse, etc

[low sorrel]

thanks

[oak vector]

I don't even know if my monitor has it
has hdr tho 😛

https://www.centrecom.com.au/gigabyte-gs32q-315-qhd-ss-ips-165hzoc-170hz-freesync-gaming-monitor

[turbid locust]

I would give anything to have CSGO back

[low sorrel]

hey i've seen people play stretched in arc raiders

[vestal granite]

actually i use ctrl and C for crouch cause i played some rust and got too used to ctrl for crouch so i randomly hit ctrl or c depending on the day

but other than that default keybinds

[odd sable]

mouse acceleration enabled
who the fuck does this?

[low sorrel]

I used to

[vestal granite]

me because i cant be bothered to fix anything and the mouse feels my stress when i flick

[turbid locust]

I mean games don’t even actually use it nowadays

[edgy laurel]

if it supports freesync today it supports adaptivesync, so GSync can be enabled

[vestal granite]

the mouse is an extension of my body, if im freaking out and I need to flick fast because i got caught off guard, my mouse knows it and knows to flick faster accordingly

also you have to disable freesync/gsync on your monitor in CS2 that causes a lot of stutters i found out

[edgy laurel]

and that accepts an HDR signal but it sure as hell doesn't give you an HDR image or performance

[low sorrel]

i think i have it enabled on the desktop rn actually

[odd sable]

mouse acceleration is one of the first settings i turn off, always

[pallid marsh]

1440 or 4k?

[vestal granite]

we live in a dynamic world i want dynamic dpi based on the intensity of my movements

[oak vector]

piss no
it looks better without hdr (could've been how I calibrated it tho cos im a moron)

still looks solid imo

[molten iron]

i've got an odd question. i currently use a DisplayPort for my primary monitor (ASUS PG32UCDP 4k 240hz) and an HDMI for my second monitor (4k 60hz)..

I purchased a new DisplayPort cable to use with the 2nd monitor and replaced the HDMI, cost me 20 bucks and was the newest version of DisplayPort. However, when I connected it and began using my computer, i noticed something strange...

My primary monitor would NOW only go to 240hz while on 1080p, and if it was on 4k it would only go to 60hz. When I changed the cables back to what they were before, and restarting, my primary monitor allowed the use of 4k 240hz again while my 2nd monitor was on 4k 60hz. I returned the DisplayPort cable I had bought as what I have is currently working.

what happened? I have a 9800x3d and a 4090.

[low sorrel]

4k

[low sorrel]

fine ill turn it off

[pallid marsh]
