for games like WoT, WoWS, warthunder, WoW
the difference is between loading last
and loading first
takes me like 10-20 sec
I don't even play multi-player games 
e
I prefer games that will either make me rage or make me laugh like shit
I mean, I would store games on a ssd, but I'm worried about the write cycle. 
Get a skyrim

Clips to the other end of the world
Ride on mountains upside down
Battlefield 5 after using le Stuka to dive bomb 1 infantry

Eh, my gpu not moving siah

HAHAHA

Only 1 person commit so far other than you
pc userbenchmark u say?
Why so low for gaming
I'm in prison rn
G-sync > any other sync
mfw my CPU is in the 98th precentile


I mean
Bruh g sync is ded
it goes as high as 5.5 GHz
Support but still doesn't match G-sync levels 

gimme that too
I dont smoke
Who's ur pfp? @subtle hawk
I mean
damn my English is so bad that I can't explain...

gsync or any VRR tech removes screen tearing
@bleak owl use Chinese
Bruh no
but it doesn't work properly outside of the VRR range
which most freesync monitors have it very small
Yea I know
like 60-75 Hz
But increase latency
tearing is much more anyoing
it doesn't

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
What's wrong with a soft fps limiter?
increases frame times
Ah
So even if I put freesync latency won't increase?
since G-Sync monitors have a very large VRR range
@vast sand what u gonna do with your laptop when you build your desktop?
Sell

How much are u supposed to sell it
for example
400
all G-Sync equipped monitors have to go from 30 Hz to max refresh rate in their VRR range
@vast sand may ask the specs?
but not bad
Average huh
depends on manufacturer implementation
the beauty of G-Sync is that Nvidia manually certifies each display for it
@vast sand oh right I forgot.
It's a agon monitor
while freesync and adaptive sync are just standards, if your monitor falls within the limits then it's passable
that's why you'll see monitors with only 30 Hz VRR but still be freesync

@vast sand yar. I'm not selling mine next time also
But I dk what I wanna use it for tho 
that's why I can eat the cost of G-Sync for the guarantee that my monitor will work as expected
Rip
Yea but damn if it's expensive
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?
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.
Prism+ good tho
Nah
Asus or LG for me
Really?
I have a predator as my main
Yup
used to have a ROG one before
I'm not looking at frames tbh
ye asus and acer monitors are more or less the same ones
For me it's color accuracy
Ips monitor
there's also samsung monitors but those are more color oriented than framerate
I have no use for high fps since I don't play competitive multi-player
Get 6k monitora
Almost all the high end predator and rog monitor are ips
I'm aiming for 4k hdr

Hm ok
Why what happened?
not #wurf
better off with 3 separate displays
Do u need a ultra wide tbh?
The pain tho when watching videos
What pain? 

U gonna have a lot of black scren
I don't like multi monitor setups cuz bezels
I like bezels
Well, I will have things running off to the side

Don't waste real estate baby
I wanna see pingable cable Management
oh

my cablle management is op
doubt
I fking hate messy cables
Techware Nexus M
Never heard of it
It's just too bad that the baby above doesn't have gsync. It would have otherwise been perfect.
Yeah
No is not closed
How

expensive tho
Its 180 here


Too bad for bezels
it may look like that because my monitors are angled and it compensates for that
But seriously for the Samsung g9. Its already so gosh darn fking expensive. Would it have killed them to add gsync? 
I want my dedicated gsync module

well whatever, for the price amd still better
@wary depot I'm selling a gigabyte 2080 super oc for $750 usd bnib just saying
Nvidia at most will release in Q3 with the main series with the Tis being in Q1 2021
Which is why I said end of the year

I can see them being the ice breaker between AMD and nvidia
since the Xe series is going from datacenter and supercomputing down to consumer grade
intel is also awfully slow with their 3D CPU technology
probably bcz they want to make a CPU that has that AND 10nm

ooo
naise
I heard that it does 55-57degs when gaming
PRetty darn good considering my current laptop does up to 100 deg
pretty normal for a laptop
While gaming yes
Mine barely hits 90+ lower bound when I oc it
U even oc a laptop
To squeeze as much performance as possible duh
U shouldn't do that tbh its not healthy for u laptop
I've been using it for 4 years and it's still going strong
So I'd say it's fine honestly
ok
What do you think I should do with my laptop once I build a desktop? @bleak owl
Keep it
Use it when u go out?
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 
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 
I mean if your GPU costs 1k
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
Yes
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
Drop also sells their own hot swappable keyboards.
Another popular hot swappable keyboard would be the PCGamingRace GMMK, which comes in 60%, TK and full-sized.
https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/the-glorious-gmmk-compact-pre-built
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
@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

20 shitty amazon kit lol
Kprepublic and kbdfans both offer assembly
Idk
It's hot swap
Idk
Just push the switches in
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of things have to wait
W/E works
@stone wave I’ll have you decide
My paycheck is tomorrow
Should I buy one of my endgame keyboards
(Omnikey White Alps)
So is the next AL event

I'm eyeing box pinks
oh I’m f2p now so don’t need to worry about gacha
Rip
Unicomp also has their SSK on the way
Gateron or kailh box for me
I would want red or browns
Kailh box switches are great
Box switches
They're different than their MX clones
Novelkeys cream or gateron ink are great if you want linear
Nooooo
What
Avoid those

Tim you never answered my question 

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
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)
My friend has a switch tester
It has blacks, blues, reds, browns, whites, silvers, pinks
Out of all I like the Browns

@vast sand
I got my he4xx planar magnetic headphones from states alr
They're amazing with music
A bit lacking on the bass, but the vocals and trebles are amazing
The soundstage as expected is amazing as well.
The fast response makes everything super detailed
wow
I only had time to test with 1 game tho, and it volume was soft af.
Like I can barely hear shit with everything pushed to the max
Not sure why
Might be a game issue

I have x570 ASRock extreme 4 with purity sound 4 on board,no clue how the purity sound 4 works,can someone tell me?
@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.
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)
@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.
hold on
Oki
Another option: EVGA Nu Audio @bleak owl
yes, EVGA makes a sound card for some reason
Alright thanks
Creative is obviously a very old hand in audio solutions
I see
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.
i should start a petition where microsoft gives me all their revenue earned in a 3 hour time span
mine might stand a better chance of happening

wireless audio
🚮
we need wireless electricity
Yes, wireless charging of my brain
nah like
wireless charging as in you plug the plug into the wall, and your phone charges from anywhere in the room
the tech got invented in the 1890s
yeah but its not used
the only wireless charging we have is where the phone's movement is MORE restricted
@quartz atlas god bless TWS earbuds
I never have to worry about snagging my cables ever again
I won't trade any tws earbuds for my ie800 any day 
Makes sense
Expensive as shit
And hey, I break my headphone cables like crazy
So to each their own
Well most can be replaced easily. That's a flaw with the ie800 tho. You can't replace the cables yourself.
I could buy a damn phone with that money
It's almost unheard of at that price range 
No idea what senn was thinking
But damn does it sound good
I want expensive audio gear so bad
It's a drug. Try it and you can never go back.
But eh, I'll be perfectly content with my Chinese TWSes for now. Perfectly good for the price
Chinese DIY iems are crazy good for their price.
More often than not, they can easily punch above 10times of what they cost.
But diminishing returns as you go more and more expensive.
Wait wut
At mid 3 digit levels, you'll probably be getting the same bang for buck as major foreign audio brands
How do prices climb like that tho
Can't think of anything besides new spanking cables
What do you mean?
As in your $15 iems can easily sound better than $150 iems from a "mass' brand
i only even use earbuds when i'm out and about on foot
so the galaxy buds i got are good enough for me
Yikes
not like spotify is that good
Any apple fan here?

Not u 
i think i'd rather get some planar magnetic headphones than IEM
Noone huh?
nope i have trouble navigating a fucking iphone
Bcs apple is trash
@subtle hawk 
Because ppl like to flaunt
whens the last fucking time someone saw someone else's phone/tablet/laptop and was awed by it?
I still do
i think the last time someone was impressed by a piece of tech i owned was when the original Huawei Watch launched
and i bought one of those


ugh i got to go buy some stamps to mail in my tax return
cause the efiling won't accept my shit
my mobile data plan isn't pretty good

(it's cause im a cheap fuck but that's besides the point)
But u'd be hard pressed to hear a difference with iems or sub 4 digit setups vs flac or other lossless codecs
i have some very mild tinnitus too
so theres that
i used to commute via subway
that shit was "wake the dead" loud
protip: hearing loss doesn't really heal
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
Get some anc for yourself them
Just replace ears with bionic ears next time 
There's already ones that help deaf people hear

my headphones are ancient
mine are Sennheiser HD280
ive considered replacing them a few times
but since they still work and i almost never use them

yeah flexing some 10 year old $100 headphones
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
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 
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
I never even heard of hd599 
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
yeah that's why im considering replacing the hd280s eventually
There ya go bought some parts today
The PSU, the monitor, the RAM, and the motherboard
Missing the graphics card and the processor but aside from that
Good shit
Ngl the curved monitor is epic
It doesnt have speakers so I guess ill use headphones for a while
Testing it on my PS4 and even though it cant reach 144hz it still looks good

ugh...

Stop playing with ur cpu
why is your processor in a petri dish
He's cultivating it
its for a research paper on spontaneous CPU mitosis
Ryzen 7 splits into two Ryzen 3.5s

old xeon processor drink coaster good memes
what do the numbers usually mean on CPU names? brand name or mhz?

anyone know if google play services fixed their battery drain bug?
@buoyant sapphire for AMD Ryzen CPUs it goes like this
Ryzen 3/5/7/9 - the CPU bracket, the higher the number the more powerful the processor
ABCD(X)
A - the processor generation
B - processor model number
C - unknown
D - unknown
X - means the processor has been selected from the top %
for intel it's very similar
I see, thanks
wait so the 2700 and the 2700X are the same, only the X is in the top % of the 2700s?
oh also yamato, my phone just recently started to not load webpages on the first try like every single time, ever heard of that?
no
its called 4g is more like 2g in this area
when you get 1 bar of service at your own house when its within sight of 2 cell towers
Where u living?
texas
Hamburger country 
yamato, i figured it out, its cuz i was using the mobile site
or not
huh i thought 4g lte was alot faster than 5 mbps
then again i live in an area where certified gigabit internet is about 45 mbps
Lucky u
"lucky"
getting 4.5% of what is advertised only to the top businesses in the area
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
ah
so i assume it's in the middle of whites & navies
since whites are clicky linears and navies tactile af
but not as ridiculous as navies?
no
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? 
Kinda sounds like a dumb and smart idea at the same time 
Why not?
in theory those monitors would be better than monitors at comparable price points no?
no
I mean I don't care about frame rates
well your eyes definitely do
Well I do care about hdr. Vr doesn't have hdr yet right? 
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
Why complicate ur life clevebae

Well a projector won't work in my current house
I mean the display still needs to be able of displaying hdr content no?
do you know what hdr is?
Why would I not 
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
I mean, it just doesn't display well at all unless certified
I've tried running hdr on my laptop
Looked like shit 
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
Exactly. The display is the limiting factor.
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
I don't think so, never tried actually. I don't really consume content on my phone.
Well in theory it could.
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
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?
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
I can't not use the virtual monitor? 
uhh that would be playing the vr game
So games not designed for vr needs to be ran on a virtual monitor 
like you either use the fake monitor system or you only play games that are vr compatible
yeah
where else could it run?
cuz you would need the offset for the actual vr screens
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
well yeah
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
Bezels suck. 1 primary for gaming and 2nd/3rd for productivity.
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?

same thing
One message removed from a suspended account.
to get the most out of a ryzen 3rd gen you'll need a X570 motherboard
One message removed from a suspended account.
because the X is just more money for a bit more performance you can achieve manually by tweaking the settings
and you don't need the best thing
3600 really embraces the Zen in "Zen"
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
diminishing returns, almost
