even if the ocf is more popular i still wish i got the apex because it's a nicer daily board imo

In this video Adam shows off the first testing he's done on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 to see how it performs on battery power vs AC power.

So far so good, all they were allowed to do is show some gaming benchmarks. Nothing synthetic

Promising but like I'll wait for full 3rd parties

thanks

I thought they were all going to be 18A no?

frank cypress

but i found a bit more cyrofuel left so i can probably wait to order some off of dazmode

Ah aight, I'm not too familiar with Canada's market as I only know of Dazmode

It's a bit too soon for concrete info on NVL

Damn I'm looking at amazon.ca to see if there's Mayhems X1 and woof

#

Even Koolance 702 is expensive for you guys over there

shell void
#

i turned the DLSS model override off

#

DLSS 4 (K) looks better and runs better than DLSS 4.5 (M)

low sorrel
#

isn't 4.5 only meant for dlss performance and lower

turbid locust
pure garnet
#

it seems like at minimum the profiles on the apex are better

#

but i think the ocf is kinda purpose built for ln2

shell void
pure garnet
#

i think m and l need some more time in the oven

shell void
#

they gotta turn down the sharpening man

pure garnet
#

the performance hit is kinda ridiculous too

#

preset k already looks great

shell void
#

if it looked better then id pay the 20% hit but i dont think it looks better

#

honestly it can look worse than the default TAA in cyberpunk at times because it's so oversharpened and fake looking

pure garnet
#

i only tried horizon and i didn’t like it

turbid locust
#

5x compute for worse results is crazy

#

but I think it’s literally meant for Ultra perf and that’s it

low sorrel
#

ultra performance looks great with preset L when i tested it eariler

#

well great as in not

#

compeletely terrible

shell void
#

i havent tried L

#

ill do that now

low sorrel
#

but on ultra performance it kinda needs it imo

edgy laurel
#

i need to try it on another game. it looked like complete ass in the one game i tried, but its also an early access UE5 title

edgy laurel
#

don't have it

#

it was so bad. didn't bother testing other presets though, just L. i've never used Ultra Performance before

#

download that and play fullscreen, its gross

shell void
#

at first glance L looks less oversharpened than M does to me in Cyberpunk

#

and it's brutal to run

pure garnet
#

you know maybe i turn this back on one day

# shell void and it's brutal to run

on a 5090

edgy laurel
#

really jerry

low sorrel
#

💀

shell void
#

Preset L looks similarly oversharpened to Preset M, but it's more stable

low sorrel
shell void
#

less aliasing problems on model corners

low sorrel
#

i forgot which one michael had

shell void
#

but it has the same sharpening filter look

#

Preset K looks a lot more natural

pure garnet
shell void
#

Preset K already looks sharpened man idk why they cranked it up more

low sorrel
#

hot take

#

i like how l looks better then k

#

just a little bit more

shell void
#

i would say K > L > M just based on a few minutes of playing in Cyberpunk, nothing scientific

#

L looks like a more stable but expensive version of M

The m10 ultra is a monitor ive heard some stuff about 32inch 4k so may me one for me to keep my eye on im trying to find tours video wise of the ktc booth mostly as apparently there flagship 32 inch 4k mini led monitor is gonna be between 749 to 829 dollars so will be slightly cheaper in pounds

random flame
vagrant cargo
#

Wait one if the monitors at khc booth is apparently a glossy ips?

#

A 5k glossy ips according to hkc

#

Hmmmmm

random flame
vagrant cargo
#

Dunno if hkc is lying or they done it

#

Also I noticed k
Hkc the main company does monitors in black or silver, there other company ktc does it in white

#

I wish more company's did black and silver monitors and stands more often

#

I hate when its white with some black , i prefer black and grey or black and a silver like thing

#

Tbh a chrome stand would be cool

fringe vigil
#

I’ve just realised

#

I haven’t calibrated my oled lol

south shuttle
#

didn’t know that

vagrant cargo
#

Also the apparently 5k glossy ips monitor is the m9 pro

vagrant cargo
#

No prices for the m10 ultra but estimated by pricing of 1,000 or more

#

What is a 5k AI monitor

vagrant cargo
#

A monitor with ai in it

oak vector
edgy laurel
#

member when we saw those AI monitors that would cheat for you

devout ridge
edgy laurel
#

clearly those didn't take off

devout ridge
#

though that flat out isn't "AI"

vagrant cargo
#

If im correct the ai will auto adjust your picture settings for you if you use it

oak vector
vagrant cargo
#

My nan is ai

devout ridge
hoary hatch
#

Or just ambient light sensor aka built in true tone or whatever

oak vector
vagrant cargo
#

No seriously the local funeral home is thinking sbout using ai generated photos for the deceased

edgy laurel
vagrant cargo
#

Well they take a photo you give them and they use ai to enhance it and they stated maybe ai backgrounds

#

My mother thought that would be nice but I know one person could easily hack into those and well

#

Nan will be well naughty

devout ridge
#

hack into those and... do what?

vagrant cargo
south shuttle
devout ridge
#

if so, it's already infinitely easier to NSFW your nan

vagrant cargo
#

Just imagine the horror of a kid walking up to see his nans grave to see a NSFW fake image of his nan with her funbags out

#

Or imagine walking past one of your parents graves to see their them naked , god were so screwed

devout ridge
#

imagine someone sending that kid that same photo, and it's already possible

vagrant cargo
#

Because I feel like knowing people and humanity that will happen

random flame
#

Okay- I think we just went the wrong route here in what is and isn't considered TMI anyone else looking in this channel. xD

M10 ultra specs

#

M10 ultra seems interesting so this might be interesting as stated in the video i linked to "apparently 5k glossy ips" for m9 so wouldn't the m10 ultra also have a glossy ips aswell?

#

Or apparently have one?

edgy laurel
vagrant cargo
#

So the monitors that interest me is ive heard something sbout a monitor called KTC M32P11 and m10 ultra however if the ktc one is white

edgy laurel
#

4788 local dimming zones too

vagrant cargo
#

I might buy the m10 ultra

edgy laurel
#

spec wise it looks quite good

vagrant cargo
#

And also both will apparently be dual mode

edgy laurel
#

needs @shell void's approval

vagrant cargo
#

Apparently first it will release in china Apparently q2 2026

#

So uk release and america maybe around q3 2026 or q4

#

Tbh this monitor before most big games release would be great

edgy laurel
#

M10 Ultra glossy?

#

but given HKC's current market footprint, we're unlikely to see the monitor launch in the U.S. when it does arrive.

#

I don't know if no US also means no UK

#

I feel like a lot are matte

vagrant cargo
#

Im guessing matte is most common

#

But in the video I saw the ultra 10 in

#

The guy in captions would "apparently 5k glossy ips"

random flame
#

How many mini-LED monitors in general even exist out there and for what price usually?

edgy laurel
#

I dunno who HKC is but if they put those specs behind a muddy matte coating...

vagrant cargo
#

So either he doesnt knoe or one of the booth staff mentioned it

steel stream
random flame
#

I feel like most of them probably cost about the same or more than what I got mine for.

vagrant cargo
#

So the m10 might also have a glossy finish

#

But its unknown

steel stream
#

my gut guess would be matte

vagrant cargo
#

All I got from the video was "apparently 5k glossy ips" for the hkc m9

edgy laurel
#

wait, the M10 isn't 5k

#

M10 Ultra is 4K

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah I was talking about the m9

edgy laurel
#

if they make that spec and its glossy, M10 Ultra might be wild

low sorrel
edgy laurel
#

RGB MiniLED hasn't been a thing in any monitor yet

vagrant cargo
#

However im curious if the m9 is glossy ips then wouldn't the m10 also be glossy ips aswell

steel stream

#

but DisplayHDR 1400 tho

steel stream

it doesn't really work that way

because with brim you can just rush through long and smoke hookah as well

low sorrel
brisk jolt
#

alternatively they could phoenix wall

#

or they could smoke hookah and spawn and use more util to take elbow

low sorrel
#

Or they could send one hookah

elbow control as a attacker is hella dominant because the 2 others rotating from spawn cannot safely push out

the meta for attacking bind is to literally ignore hookah and lamps

brisk jolt
#

a CC judge easily flicks dizzy and 1 taps wingman

#

if you were sitting with a shotgun u would be useless there and need to push flank

low sorrel
#

I mean holding hookah is the right angle for me to be holding in this scenario

brisk jolt
#

u have nowhere to go anyway

#

with a shotgun you need to clear hookah which is midrange from that position, going to flank you’d need to be fearful of 3 far range fights

low sorrel
#

Yeah but I have a rifle

brisk jolt
#

sure you can prefire a judge if you know they’re there but its still risky

with phx gekko deadlock they can fight long WAY better

low sorrel
#

Just have one guy late lurk up hookah to kill the guy hookah while he fights long

#

Also if they weren't trying to take hookah control why didn't they smoke hookah

brisk jolt
#

its possible but the hookah player would also be wary of a possible backstab, thats why you were also worried

brisk jolt
#

if they smoked you off u’d just be spraying ur phantom, not smoking hookah also means they couldve sent some1 to backstab

low sorrel

I could probably reach ascendent if I like actually cared

I just play the game for fun

And I just aim diff people

Oh and not being toxic

brisk jolt
#

mechanically i am shit but if you ask me to plan a strat I can

#

just that ive only done so watching my guy stream as a suggestion

#

theres also another guy (peak asc autopiloter) who for some reason just hates me

#

you literally cant trust that guy

low sorrel
#

It works surprisingly well

brisk jolt
#

half the time my suggestions go to trash because he just doesnt wanna listen to what I have in mind and they anyhow bomb it

low sorrel
#

You will never have a team that will be coordinated enough

brisk jolt
#

its not even complicated

#

its just where we should go and what util we burn to get there

low sorrel
#

Only thing you can do is do things together

#

Maybe a couple pieces of utility

brisk jolt
#

i might as well be potential man but I put in 0 hours into the game lmfao

#

realistically if i return i at best go to plat 2 at my level

low sorrel
#

Just get good aim and aim diff people

brisk jolt
#

i just dont see myself hitting diamond with how alienated i am from the mechanical level

#

with a 5070ti and a 5090 i dont really wanna waste my time playing a fuckass fps multiplayer solo xd

honestly having a high valorant rank is cool for like 2 seconds and all, but if one really wants to argue with me over valorant rank I could just say “All that time you spent for a virtual rank went into getting a 5090”

truly aurafarming

i mean if i get a high rank i get a high rank

i just play because i find the gameplay fun

like my warm up routine is comp

or 200 hours in plat

brisk jolt
#

“close ur eyes and you’ll find out whats stopping me from crushing you!”
nothing

brisk jolt
#

thats more than my entire valorant playtime btw

low sorrel
#

ngl i think i had 200 hours in plat

#

i was stuck for a bit

#

but i was going from plat 1 to plat 2 to plat 3

brisk jolt
#

I’ve been stuck gold… for very long if you wanna say it that way, but honestly its meh since my playtime is low anyway

low sorrel
#

i wasn't in plat for very long

brisk jolt
#

I rmb on this acc being stuck s3 because I was q’ing into plat lobbies

#

and I had pretty shit teammates for what it was

low sorrel
#

i never said i was a generational talent

brisk jolt
#

im a low rank and i have proper excuses fornit

#

if you search the % valorant population by ranking, gold and plats are average

low sorrel

act reset

low sorrel

gold is tho

#

plat is above average

#

diamond is get a life you dork

iron and bronze is the region of new to FPS, shit internet, shit PCs

gold is where everybody has a grasp of fundamentals, plat is just barely a + version

if ur jumping from a good colour accuracy QHD IPS the best upgrade is a UHD glossy WOLED

never tried WOLED but i can definitely recommend QD-OLED
