subtle hawk
#

for games like WoT, WoWS, warthunder, WoW

#

the difference is between loading last

#

and loading first

vast sand
#

I take like 2 mins to load onto a map in CSGO

#

The pain of running HDD only

subtle hawk
#

takes me like 10-20 sec

vast sand
#

Wtf

#

Like my entire laptop freezes for 30secs

#

Then it starts loading again

quartz atlas
#

I don't even play multi-player games EntyHeh

subtle hawk
#

ye

#

bcz everyone would whoop ur ass

vast sand
#

e

quartz atlas
#

EntyHeh I prefer sims and rpgs

#

Cant wait for Ms flight 2020

vast sand
#

I prefer games that will either make me rage or make me laugh like shit

quartz atlas
#

I mean, I would store games on a ssd, but I'm worried about the write cycle. GWseremePeepoThink

bleak owl
#

Fallout76 with his bugs

#

Make u laugh a lot

quartz atlas
#

Get a skyrim

#

Ride a horse

#

Clips to the other end of the world

#

Ride on mountains upside down

#

Battlefield 5 after using le Stuka to dive bomb 1 infantry

#

Or use the fleguerfaust to camp the enemy Plane spawn

quartz atlas
#

Eh, my gpu not moving siah

vast sand
quartz atlas

HAHAHA

vast sand
#

nani

quartz atlas
#

Only 1 person commit so far other than you

vast sand
#

Forza Horizon 4 also fking stupid

#

So many rammers

subtle hawk
#

pc userbenchmark u say?

vast sand
#

Yeah

#

My laptop

#

is

#

Potato

quartz atlas
#

Mines potato too

#

4 years old at this point

subtle hawk
quartz atlas
#

Ufo

#

Lmao

#

What

vast sand
#

UFO

#

Lmao

quartz atlas
#

Why so low for gaming

vast sand
#

Go do userbenchmark test

#

I want see ur potato laptop

quartz atlas
#

Who?

#

Me?

vast sand
#

How it compares to mine

#

Ya

quartz atlas
#

I'm in prison rn

subtle hawk
#

the gaming score is low bcz G-Sync is active

#

and wallpaper engine is also running

quartz atlas
#

G-sync > any other sync

subtle hawk
#

mfw my CPU is in the 98th precentile

quartz atlas
bleak owl
subtle hawk
#

I mean

bleak owl
#

Bruh g sync is ded

subtle hawk
#

it goes as high as 5.5 GHz

bleak owl
#

Most of the free sync monitor support gsync

vast sand
#

My GPU 99th percentile

#

xd

quartz atlas
#

Support but still doesn't match G-sync levels WarShrug

bleak owl
#

U use the sync in single player games

#

So the latency doesn't affect so much

subtle hawk
#

@bleak owl

#

wtf u smoking

bleak owl
subtle hawk
#

gimme that too

bleak owl
#

I dont smoke

quartz atlas
#

Who's ur pfp? @subtle hawk

bleak owl
#

I mean

subtle hawk
#

same character I had in my previous pfp

#

this one is a comission

bleak owl
#

LaffeyStare damn my English is so bad that I can't explain...

quartz atlas
subtle hawk
#

gsync or any VRR tech removes screen tearing

quartz atlas
#

@bleak owl use Chinese

bleak owl
#

Bruh no

subtle hawk
#

but it doesn't work properly outside of the VRR range

#

which most freesync monitors have it very small

bleak owl
#

Yea I know

subtle hawk
#

like 60-75 Hz

bleak owl
#

But increase latency

unkempt oxide
#

tearing is much more anyoing

subtle hawk
#

it doesn't

bleak owl
subtle hawk
#

it's not v-sync

#

works differently

#

what it does increase depending on games

#

is frame times

#

that's why I use a external FPS limiter for it

bleak owl
#

Siriusly

quartz atlas
#

What's wrong with a soft fps limiter?

subtle hawk
#

increases frame times

quartz atlas
#

Ah

bleak owl
#

So even if I put freesync latency won't increase?

subtle hawk
#

it will depending on games

#

and you won't get the same experience as G-Sync

bleak owl
#

Oh

#

Well

subtle hawk
#

since G-Sync monitors have a very large VRR range

bleak owl
#

I have adaptive sync

quartz atlas
#

@vast sand what u gonna do with your laptop when you build your desktop?

vast sand
#

Sell

bleak owl
vast sand
#

i got put on my carousell

#

U never see meh

bleak owl
#

How much are u supposed to sell it

subtle hawk
#

for example

vast sand
#

400

subtle hawk
#

all G-Sync equipped monitors have to go from 30 Hz to max refresh rate in their VRR range

bleak owl
#

How about adaptive sync?

#

Is shit or good?

subtle hawk
#

decent

#

not good

bleak owl
#

@vast sand may ask the specs?

subtle hawk
#

but not bad

bleak owl
#

Average huh

subtle hawk
#

depends on manufacturer implementation

#

the beauty of G-Sync is that Nvidia manually certifies each display for it

quartz atlas
#

@vast sand oh right I forgot.

bleak owl
#

It's a agon monitor

vast sand
#

I could sell it for 600+

subtle hawk
#

while freesync and adaptive sync are just standards, if your monitor falls within the limits then it's passable

vast sand
#

But all people care about is branding

#

What Razer Blade

#

or MSI

subtle hawk
#

that's why you'll see monitors with only 30 Hz VRR but still be freesync

bleak owl
quartz atlas
#

@vast sand yar. I'm not selling mine next time also

#

But I dk what I wanna use it for tho GWseremePeepoThink

subtle hawk
#

that's why I can eat the cost of G-Sync for the guarantee that my monitor will work as expected

vast sand
#

Rip

bleak owl
#

Yea but damn if it's expensive

vast sand
#

Legit stupid tho

#

I see one Razer Blade 14 sell for 800 then people still buy

#

When the specs are worse than mine

#

And mine is like half the price

#

Like wtf?

quartz atlas
#

I'm willing to pay for the G-sync as well. The monitor will the most expensive or 2nd most expensive component in my setup. It better be good.

#

@vast sand cuz razer mah. Look pretty.

vast sand
#

Prism+ good tho

quartz atlas
#

Nah

vast sand
#

My friend have the W270

#

Pretty nice

quartz atlas
#

Asus or LG for me

vast sand
#

cheap also

#

Only 300 for a 1440p 75hz monitor

#

27inch

bleak owl
#

Hmm ok

#

I'm fine with my adaptive sync monitor

subtle hawk
#

@quartz atlas add acer to the list

#

they use the same panels as asus

bleak owl
#

Predator monitor

#

Lit

quartz atlas
#

Really?

subtle hawk
#

I have a predator as my main

bleak owl
#

Yup

subtle hawk
#

used to have a ROG one before

quartz atlas
#

I'm not looking at frames tbh

subtle hawk
#

ye asus and acer monitors are more or less the same ones

quartz atlas
#

For me it's color accuracy

bleak owl
#

Ips monitor

subtle hawk
#

there's also samsung monitors but those are more color oriented than framerate

quartz atlas
#

I have no use for high fps since I don't play competitive multi-player

vast sand
#

Get 6k monitora

bleak owl
#

Almost all the high end predator and rog monitor are ips

vast sand
#

lol

#

No

#

Get the new Apple Monitor

#

what 8k resolution

quartz atlas
#

I'm aiming for 4k hdr

vast sand
bleak owl
#

Hm okUniCry

quartz atlas
#

Or 2k ultra ultra wide

#

Like that new Samsung one at ces

subtle hawk
#

ultrawide

#

bruh

#

I used to have a 1440p ultrawide 100Hz

#

keyword

#

used to

quartz atlas
#

Why what happened?

subtle hawk
#

not #wurf

bleak owl
#

Ultra wide

#

Nice joke

subtle hawk
#

better off with 3 separate displays

bleak owl
#

Do u need a ultra wide tbh?

quartz atlas
#

I play sims, so yes. I want and need an ultra wide.

vast sand
#

The pain tho when watching videos

quartz atlas
#

What pain? GWseremePeepoThink

bleak owl
vast sand
#

U gonna have a lot of black scren

quartz atlas
#

I don't like multi monitor setups cuz bezels

vast sand
#

I like bezels

quartz atlas
#

Well, I will have things running off to the side

vast sand
#

they cutoff the display

#

Oh

#

I leik bezels tho

bleak owl
quartz atlas
#

Don't waste real estate baby

bleak owl

I wanna see pingable cable Management

vast sand

my cablle management is op

bleak owl

Shybuki doubt

vast sand

I fking hate messy cables

bleak owl
#

Oh

#

Ok

#

Which case are u supposed to buy?

vast sand
#

Techware Nexus M

quartz atlas
#

Never heard of it

bleak owl
#

Bruh

#

Literally 0 airflow

quartz atlas
#

It's just too bad that the baby above doesn't have gsync. It would have otherwise been perfect.

vast sand
#

Yeah

bleak owl
#

The front is literally closed

#

I don't recommend tbh

vast sand
#

No is not closed

bleak owl
#

How

vast sand
#

I already have it

#

Bottom

bleak owl
vast sand
#

Its for the clean look

#

xd

bleak owl
#

Bruh get a fractal design meshify c

#

Still clean

vast sand
#

expensive tho

bleak owl
vast sand
#

I got mine for only 60

#

this is like 3x the price

bleak owl
#

The fractal is like 100

vast sand
#

Its 180 here

subtle hawk
#

@quartz atlas lemme hit u with this

vast sand
#

lmao wtf

#

stretched

bleak owl
subtle hawk
#

that's in Elite:Dangerous playing with surround span displays

#

it's not stretched

quartz atlas
#

Look at that immersion

bleak owl
quartz atlas
#

Too bad for bezels

subtle hawk
#

it may look like that because my monitors are angled and it compensates for that

quartz atlas
#

But seriously for the Samsung g9. Its already so gosh darn fking expensive. Would it have killed them to add gsync? LaffeyDrink

#

I want my dedicated gsync module

bleak owl
#

Why u need gsync If u don't gaming

I'm just telling the truth

subtle hawk
bleak owl
#

I see Nvidia fanboi

quartz atlas
#

Also, just wait to see their "Nvidia killer" flop and kneel to amphere.

subtle hawk
#

the 5700XT is a fad

#

Nvidia ain't Intel

quartz atlas

@bleak owl no seriously, grab some benchmarks

implying nvidia will release 30 series this year

so far only Intel and AMD are firing with their new GPUs

UniCry well whatever, for the price amd still betterStanLick

quartz atlas
#

@wary depot I'm selling a gigabyte 2080 super oc for $750 usd bnib just saying

subtle hawk
#

Nvidia at most will release in Q3 with the main series with the Tis being in Q1 2021

quartz atlas
#

Which is why I said end of the year BuckySmug

subtle hawk
#

that's if they release Q3

#

it could also be a CES release

#

in Q1

#

with Tis in Q2

quartz atlas
#

I'm thinking they'll have smth out or at least announced by q4 at the very least GWseremePeepoThink

subtle hawk

I'm expecting Intel to whoop AMD's ass

maybe get 1 on 1 with nvidia?

No bnib

Youre expecting Intel gpus to be good?

subtle hawk

ye

bleak owl
#

So much hate for amd why

quartz atlas
#

GWseremePeepoThink I have no faith

bleak owl
subtle hawk
#

most of the radeon ppl left for Intel

#

as well as a couple nvidia engineers

quartz atlas
#

Amd is great for cpus

#

I love their cpus

#

Just their gpus are utter trash

subtle hawk

intel already had beast integrated graphics

wary depot

One message removed from a suspended account.

subtle hawk

I can see them being the ice breaker between AMD and nvidia

bleak owl
#

They are fine tbhYorkBruh

#

I dunno u really hate amd gpu..

#

Why lulz

subtle hawk
#

since the Xe series is going from datacenter and supercomputing down to consumer grade

quartz atlas
subtle hawk
#

while radeon

quartz atlas
#

It's the rev2.0

#

Not 1.0

subtle hawk
#

intel is also awfully slow with their 3D CPU technology

#

probably bcz they want to make a CPU that has that AND 10nm

As 2070*

vast sand
#

Someone better get a 4x RTX Titan setup

#

@quartz atlas Waits what the diff between rev1.0 and rev2.0

quartz atlas
#

@vast sand they changed the heatpipes I think

#

So better cooling

vast sand
#

ooo

#

naise

#

I heard that it does 55-57degs when gaming

#

PRetty darn good considering my current laptop does up to 100 deg

bleak owl
#

LaffeyStare pretty normal for a laptop

quartz atlas
#

100 wtf kind of laptop

#

Does that

bleak owl
#

While gaming yes

quartz atlas
#

Mine barely hits 90+ lower bound when I oc it

bleak owl
#

U even oc a laptopLaffeyStare

quartz atlas
#

To squeeze as much performance as possible duh

bleak owl
#

U shouldn't do that tbh its not healthy for u laptop

quartz atlas
#

I've been using it for 4 years and it's still going strong

#

So I'd say it's fine honestly

bleak owl
#

SeattleLaugh ok

quartz atlas
#

What do you think I should do with my laptop once I build a desktop? @bleak owl

bleak owl
#

Keep itZkkWink

quartz atlas
#

It can't run emulators

#

Ye I'm keep it

#

But what should I do on it? GWseremePeepoThink

bleak owl
#

Use it when u go out?

quartz atlas
#

It's a msi gt72 pro barebones

#

I can't carry it

#

Besides

#

The screen is broken

#

Or rather the hinge

#

Theres no more hinge, so it rests on a box EntyLUL

bleak owl
#

I dunno how much u can sell it with broken screen

quartz atlas
#

Exactly

#

I was thinking of using it as virtual dashboard for my flight Sim. But that means I'm just using it as a secondary monitor. Not much point to that.

#

I can disable the gpu and use it as a discord machine I guess GWseremePeepoThink

bleak owl
#

I dunno tbh just don't sell it

vast sand
#

Wtf total price is around 4.1k

unkempt oxide
#

I mean if your GPU costs 1k

subtle hawk
#

when are you planning to build this

#

also do you really need a 2080

#

also i can confidently tell you that a ducky one mini 2 does not cost $170 wtf are you smoking

#

let alone one with mx sand switches

#

why do you have two motherboards and three coolers

#

why why why what is this list

#

@stone wave

stone wave
#

Yes

stone wave
#

whats going on I just got home

#

just get the KBDFans 5-degree 75% kit off of Drop rn for $150 or so with caps, switches and assembly service

#

If you can watch and follow a YT video you can easily solder switches to a PCB, an in which case just buy a cheap-o GK61 or GK64 kit or something

teal shale
#

Ok so I went to the PC store again

#

And PC components are running out now

#

Next week a new load of parts are coming but theres a lot of people buying stuff now

#

Ill have to buy one part at a time now

bleak owl
#

Wtf

#

G502 hero 90€Omegalilwoo

vast sand
#

@subtle hawk 2 Motherboards?

#

3 Coolers?

#

Its 1 AiO for the CPU

#

Then 5x Case Fans

#

And yeah I could probably get Duckies for cheaper

#

@bleak owl Not Euros

#

SGD

#

Its probably like €50~ if I were to convert it

#

@stone wave I dont have any soldering materials

#

Buying it would cost me probs another 50

#

So I rather buy premade keyboards

stone wave
#

20 shitty amazon kit lol

vast sand
#

I mean still its 20

#
  • its my first time doing it
#

I dont want to screw it up

stone wave
#

Kprepublic and kbdfans both offer assembly

vast sand
#

Idk

stone wave
#

There's the gmmk

#

100 bucks no switches or caps

vast sand
#

What

#

100

#

for no switches no caps

stone wave
#

It's hot swap

vast sand
#

Idk

stone wave
#

Just push the switches in

vast sand
#

I might just stick to my current KB tbh

#

Its holding up pretty good

stone wave
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

vast sand
#

A lot of things have to wait

stone wave
#

W/E works

vast sand
#

Like the speaker

#

the headset

subtle hawk
#

@stone wave I’ll have you decide

#

My paycheck is tomorrow

#

Should I buy one of my endgame keyboards

#

(Omnikey White Alps)

stone wave
#

So is the next AL event

vast sand
stone wave
#

I'm eyeing box pinks

subtle hawk
#

oh I’m f2p now so don’t need to worry about gacha

vast sand
#

Rip

stone wave
#

Unicomp also has their SSK on the way

vast sand
#

I always liked the Silver Speed switches

#

But can never find them anywhere

stone wave
#

Gateron or kailh box for me

vast sand
#

My current keyboard uses Kalih Blue switches

#

I hate blues MutsukiHyperStare

stone wave
#

Clicky apps are nice but require too much woek

#

Work

vast sand
#

I would want red or browns

stone wave
#

Kailh box switches are great

vast sand
#

Box switches

stone wave
#

They're different than their MX clones

#

Novelkeys cream or gateron ink are great if you want linear

vast sand
#

Ohh

#

Kalih Bronze Switches look nice MutsukiHyperStare

stone wave
#

Nooooo

vast sand
#

What

stone wave
#

Avoid those

vast sand
subtle hawk
#

Tim you never answered my question applecry

stone wave
#

They have actuation problems

#

Apple skcm blue

vast sand
#

Actuation problems

#

Would just stick to browns

#

Used them once

subtle hawk
vast sand
#

And liked it a lot

#

I like the tactile feeling

#

It doesnt feel as delayed compared to blues

#

But it gives sort of a nice feedback when typing

#

Also

#

It isnt clicky af

stone wave
#

if you dont like clicky don't go for box navy or box jade

#

they're like the most clicky and tactile switches in production

#

it might be worth getting a switch tester to see if there's anything you like

#

but that's really only if you plan to get a hot swappable keyboard or build one/pay to have one assembled.

#

if you do the latter it's not as expensive as you might think like $15 IIRC but you'll probably be ordering from china

#

which means either longish shipping or paying $20 for DHL

#

hot swappable boards aren't daunting at all, and i'd recommend that route

#

if you can do 60% there are cheap 60% hot swap kits on ebay

#

probably amazon too

#

$25 - $35 for switches, then whatever for keycaps (whatever being $20 - $300)

vast sand
#

My friend has a switch tester

#

It has blacks, blues, reds, browns, whites, silvers, pinks

#

Out of all I like the Browns

I have x570 ASRock extreme 4 with purity sound 4 on board,no clue how the purity sound 4 works,can someone tell me?

tame topaz
#

@bleak owl "Purity Sound is just some branding ASRock puts around their audio setup. It looks like they just have some extra shielding and good caps and stuff like that coupled with the audio chip to improve the overall sound quality. You don't have to "do" anything to take advantage of it."

#

Looks like just a marketing buzzword, not much else.

bleak owl
#

LaffeyStare ah ok thanks for the explanation,and 1 more thing ,I have a hyperx cloud 2 with the little sound card 7.1 and the 7.1 is a virtual one,could you possibly recommend me some good sound card with a great 7.1, budget under 200( the cheaper is better)

tame topaz
#

@bleak owl 200 bucks?

#

I think you should research getting a DAC

#

If you want a PCIe solution, maybe the Sound Blaster Audigy RX might work.

bleak owl
#

Yup

#

Ok thanks

tame topaz
#

hold on

bleak owl
#

Oki

tame topaz
#

If you want a little bit of flair to go with your sound card

#

Try the AE-5

#

Has RGB

bleak owl
#

Okie thanks

tame topaz
#

Another option: EVGA Nu Audio @bleak owl

#

yes, EVGA makes a sound card for some reason

bleak owl
#

UniSip naruhodo

#

Bruh the EVGA is like 250€ hereLaffeyStare

tame topaz
#

oh, europe eh

#

AE-5 then

#

Or perhaps the Sound BlasterX G6 for an external solution

bleak owl
#

Alright thanks

tame topaz
#

Creative is obviously a very old hand in audio solutions

bleak owl
#

I see

stone wave
#

For external solutions there are offerings from Schiit or FiiO

#

I use one of those Chinese chip amp/dac combo units, the SMSL AD18 and it powers my speakers just fine.

@quartz atlas god bless TWS earbuds

I never have to worry about snagging my cables ever again

quartz atlas

I won't trade any tws earbuds for my ie800 any day EntyHeh

tame topaz
#

Makes sense

#

Expensive as shit

#

And hey, I break my headphone cables like crazy

#

So to each their own

quartz atlas
#

Well most can be replaced easily. That's a flaw with the ie800 tho. You can't replace the cables yourself.

tame topaz
#

I could buy a damn phone with that money

quartz atlas

It's almost unheard of at that price range PortDoll

I want expensive audio gear so bad

quartz atlas

It's a drug. Try it and you can never go back.

tame topaz

But eh, I'll be perfectly content with my Chinese TWSes for now. Perfectly good for the price

quartz atlas
#

Chinese DIY iems are crazy good for their price.

tame topaz
#

Of like 15 bucks

#

KZ is legendary for their IEMs really.

#

I love every one of them.

quartz atlas
#

More often than not, they can easily punch above 10times of what they cost.

#

But diminishing returns as you go more and more expensive.

tame topaz
#

Wait wut

quartz atlas
#

At mid 3 digit levels, you'll probably be getting the same bang for buck as major foreign audio brands

tame topaz
#

How do prices climb like that tho

#

Can't think of anything besides new spanking cables

quartz atlas
#

What do you mean?

#

As in your $15 iems can easily sound better than $150 iems from a "mass' brand

tame topaz
#

Oh right

#

Yeah

stone wave
#

i only even use earbuds when i'm out and about on foot

so the galaxy buds i got are good enough for me

Actually

Spotify is extreme quality is pretty good

#

I forgot what codec they used

stone wave
#

my mobile data plan isn't pretty good

#

(it's cause im a cheap fuck but that's besides the point)

quartz atlas
#

But u'd be hard pressed to hear a difference with iems or sub 4 digit setups vs flac or other lossless codecs

stone wave
#

i have some very mild tinnitus too

#

so theres that

#

i used to commute via subway

#

that shit was "wake the dead" loud

i tell folks that shit cause they go out clubbing or to a rave or some EDM shit and stand next to the fucking speakers or whatever

#

or listen to their music with earbuds blaring

quartz atlas

Get some anc for yourself them

Just replace ears with bionic ears next time BuckySmug

my headphones are ancient

I want some nice anc headphones as well

But eh

stone wave

mine are Sennheiser HD280

quartz atlas

It's a luxury I can't afford rn

#

WOAH that is old

stone wave
#

ive considered replacing them a few times

#

but since they still work and i almost never use them

bleak owl
#

I like the flex

stone wave
#

yeah flexing some 10 year old $100 headphones

quartz atlas
#

I wanna get the hd820 one day purely because of the look

#

But I heard they don't perform their price

#

But dang it's one sexy pair of cans

stone wave
#

I was eyeing some AKG-K7xx a while back

#

but that was quite a while ago

quartz atlas
#

Never like akg cuz of the design and signature. Just doesn't speak to me. But I've never tried their mid or high level cans so WarShrug

stone wave
#

i havent tried the newer k712

#

but i recall the k701s not being too bassy since they're reference

#

but i like the looks of em

#

Have you tried the HD 599? how are those I was considering those to replace my HD 280's (if I ever bother to) if I didn't go with something that was planar magnetic.

#

Maybe the Philips X2HRs

#

cause i don't think i'd want to keep some planar magnetic headphones on for too long

quartz atlas
#

I never even heard of hd599 EntyHeh

#

Well I can't speak for much, but the he4xx was amazing for its price point

#

And def go open back

#

I don't think I can ever go back to closed back headphones again

stone wave
#

yeah that's why im considering replacing the hd280s eventually

for intel it's very similar

@stone wave Ever tried novelias

#

aka box pink

stone wave
#

Box pink is nice

#

i got one as part of a novel key switch test pack

#

it has a "medium" click bar

#

and the bottom out isn't as stiff as navy

#

but still rather tactile

subtle hawk
#

ah

#

so i assume it's in the middle of whites & navies

#

since whites are clicky linears and navies tactile af

stone wave
#

i feel that they're more tactile than whites

#

like noticeably more

subtle hawk
#

but not as ridiculous as navies?

stone wave
#

no

subtle hawk
#

err, or royals i guess

#

inb4 box jade

stone wave
#

that tiny bit of thickness in the clickbar makes a big ass difference

#

like the box navy thick clickbar is only like 0.10mm thicker or some shit than the standard one on the whites

#

im leaning towards them for my next build whenever that is

#

i tried prolonged typing on my box navy keyboard

#

and it does get a bit tiring after a page or so ngl

#

the actuation isn't anything out of the ordinary i think it was like 65g

#

but the bottom out is fucking 90g iirc

#

If you're looking at getting different switches I'd consider the Pink, the Pale Blue or the Jade

#

see which one you like

#

the main appeal for me with the pinks is that the upstroke is softer than the down stroke

#

but if you just want tactile as all fuck for your keyboard go with a thick click bar switch

@subtle hawk what do you think about using vr as a replacement for monitors? GWseremePeepoThink

#

Kinda sounds like a dumb and smart idea at the same time GWseremePeepoThink

severe falcon
#

why tho

#

you would just be in a virtual world, staring at fake monitors

quartz atlas
#

Why not? GWseremePeepoThink in theory those monitors would be better than monitors at comparable price points no?

severe falcon
#

no

quartz atlas
#

I mean I don't care about frame rates

severe falcon
#

well your eyes definitely do

quartz atlas
#

Well I do care about hdr. Vr doesn't have hdr yet right? GWseremePeepoThink

severe falcon
#

i mean hdr is handled by the engine/GPU

#

the problem is that you cant just have the game in VR but use mouse and keyboard

#

cuz then you cant see the controls AND you get destroyed by motion sickness

#

i mean if you want a really good future monitor, it should probably be a projector onto an angled glass screen

#

that way you can potentially get finer details than pixels, and the unit itself would be smaller

bleak owl
#

Why complicate ur life clevebaeLaffeyStare LaffeyStare

quartz atlas
#

Well a projector won't work in my current house

#

I mean the display still needs to be able of displaying hdr content no?

severe falcon
#

do you know what hdr is?

quartz atlas
#

Why would I not EntyHeh

severe falcon
#

then you should know that ALL DISPLAYS can do hdr if the GPU is calculating hdr

#

hdr isnt some special thing

#

its still 24 bit color

quartz atlas
#

I mean, it just doesn't display well at all unless certified

#

I've tried running hdr on my laptop

#

Looked like shit EntyHeh

severe falcon
#

yeah thats cuz you dont have the brightness working with it aswell

#

you cant get true black

#

but that doesnt mean its not doing hdr

quartz atlas
#

Exactly. The display is the limiting factor.

severe falcon
#

can your phone do good hdr?

#

cuz if so then vr headsets might be able to do what you want

#

but then again i dont know of any software to let you use it in that manner

quartz atlas
#

I don't think so, never tried actually. I don't really consume content on my phone.

#

Well in theory it could.

severe falcon
#

like have you looked to see if you can have a fake monitor in vr?

#

well yeah but you cant make that a game

#

it has to be like OS level software

#

and your computer will hate it

quartz atlas
#

GWseremePeepoThink so games not designed for vr won't be able to run on a vr headset? I can't simply set the vr headset as a secondary display?

severe falcon
#

no no

#

i meant for looking at a virtual monitor in the vr headset

#

your gpu has to render BOTH the game you are playing and the VR world

quartz atlas
#

I can't not use the virtual monitor? GWseremePeepoThink

severe falcon
#

uhh that would be playing the vr game

quartz atlas
#

So games not designed for vr needs to be ran on a virtual monitor GWseremePeepoThink

severe falcon
#

like you either use the fake monitor system or you only play games that are vr compatible

#

yeah

#

where else could it run?

quartz atlas
#

Right. GWseremePeepoThink

#

At the end of day

#

I'm being dumb as usual EntyLUL

#

Thanks for the school

severe falcon
#

cuz you would need the offset for the actual vr screens

quartz atlas
#

Eh, I'll get get a nice curved ultra wide like I planned to I guess.

#

But oled and microled monitors are so darn expensive

severe falcon
#

well yeah

lunar patrol
#

i am in the market for a new monitor(s) (coming from a 144hz 1080p 24" VA panel) and i can get three 1080p 144hz 24" VA monitors or one 1440p 144hz 34" VA 21:9 monitor for the same price

#

what are thoughts

maiden plume
#

Bezels suck. 1 primary for gaming and 2nd/3rd for productivity.

teal shale
#

Depends if you want to play 2K games

#

If your PC can handle 2K gaming

#

However depending on what you wanna do with the monitors your choice may be different

#

3 monitors for productivity sounds VERY useful

#

Oh btw apparently this monitor that I bought can only play 144hz if I use a display port

#

Is buying a display port the same as buying an HDMI? Price doesnt matter?

because the X is just more money for a bit more performance you can achieve manually by tweaking the settings

in a gaming rig it's the GPU that counts

The best of all worlds

the rest is just built around that

if you save a couple hundred $ on the CPU and motherboard you can put that towards the GPU and get a better one

which means greater performance => greater FPS => greater gaming experience

#

also for the motherboard

#

don't go for the most flashy expensive one

#

pc components don't follow the "higher price, better quality" rule

#

I mean they do till you get to the middle point

after that it's just very small differences
