[royal crow]

Why is someone in vc

[dusk knot]

But..that's like..like ...like 100 times more time consuming

[tranquil pebble]

most likely to be Arduino shenanigans going on for that wiring

[olive plaza]

huh

that doesn't really happen tbh

and if you still can't delete it after a quick restart, you shouldn't be touching it lol

[gleaming sedge]

im sure nothing can go wrong running dvd players off of sata power splitter, and sata data cable splitter

[tranquil pebble]

process informer / process hacker can show what processes are locking files iirc

[tranquil pebble]

unless you know what you're doing anyway

[sinful blade]

Running the base dvd player from this case(2007) made me anxious
I didn’t know if it would work at all

[gleaming sedge]

did it?

id like to set something up that lets me run 5 optical drives, more than likely not all at once but never know

[olive plaza]

dvd player?

so it wasn't even a burner?

https://videocardz.com/newz/microsoft-calls-windows-11-the-start-of-the-ai-pc-era-says-copilot-will-be-as-transformative-as-the-mouse-and-keyboard

i hope it fails spectacularly

[sinful blade]

Yes

Had no issues

[sinful blade]

I don’t know, haven’t looked up the model in a while

[olive plaza]

"Copilot will be as transformative as the mouse and keyboard"

ah yes because Microsoft is very good at knowing the future of the market

[frosty sinew]

@dusk knot @upper rain other 9070xt guy responded for 525

[dusk knot]

not...bad

[gleaming sedge]

good to know thank you, now i need to figure out if i want a really tall 10inch server rack or a 10.5inch bottom and a 10 inch on top of it

[olive plaza]

Microsoft, the same company which predicted the death of the iPhone when they launched Windows Phone 7

Yeah I trust them to know about how good Copilot is gonna be in this market

sure

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/ironic-star-wars-chode-gif-5274592

[olive plaza]

Copilot will only be successful because it'll be forced on people who don't know how to disable or remove it

[frosty sinew]

75 less than msrp

And no tax

[dusk knot]

money saved

[frosty sinew]

Worth a shot?

[dusk knot]

sure

youre not buying an overpriced 5080 or 90

[rancid juniper]

9070xt for 525??

[frosty sinew]

This guy seems way more reputable he like took it out of his computer and his photos of his computer and stuff

[rancid juniper]

no brainer buy bro

lol

[frosty sinew]

And his Facebook account was made in 2013 not 20 25

[frosty sinew]

Alr

I may or may not have loved him $75

[rancid juniper]

😳

[craggy shoal]

I hate steak

[dusk knot]

poorly cooked stake

with low quality

[craggy shoal]

That’s what everybody tells me lol

[frosty sinew]

Alr

[proud jackal]

Huh, new pokemon is out

[rancid juniper]

played a couple hours

[upper rain]

pretty solid. i'm assuming local too, so no shipping fee or sales tax yah?

5% off non XT pricing + no ship or tax is a nifty deal for a full fat 9070 xt imo

not $450 great, but still pretty great haha

[upper rain]

ZA came out?

[frosty sinew]

Yeah 525

No tax

[upper rain]

go for it man

[frosty sinew]

Im finding the sku rn

It was listed for 600

Soo

[rancid juniper]

animation is an improvement ✅
active battle system instead of turn based (though cooldowns are a slog) ✅
Cosmetics are actually good ✅
no voice acting ❌
overpriced ❌
map has no variety (its just one fat city) ❌
Pop-in is absurd on switch 1 ❌
Story is meh ❌
@proud jackal

[frosty sinew]

Ok chat

[rancid juniper]

still the game could've been better, still looks and feels cheap compared to other games as usual

lmfao

[frosty sinew]

He has no idea the brand

Whos good at getting models

[rancid juniper]

send da pic

[frosty sinew]

Is xfx a brand?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[frosty sinew]

Ah ok

[rancid juniper]

a pretty good AMD AIB brand

[frosty sinew]

Budget or midrange

[rancid juniper]

varies, they cover alot

[frosty sinew]

Oh so still send pic

[rancid juniper]

yea its legit

his gpu needs cleaning tho

lel

[frosty sinew]

Yeah thats fine

Still hasn't been opened

It came out a few months ago it prob doesn't need paste

[rancid juniper]

can't believe rdna 4 is dropping in price so fast, thought about selling my 7800xt earlier in the year but figured its not great to upgrade gpu every gen

besides that card can still do 1440p no issue

[frigid stag]

wtf is this useless "ai overview"

[lone mango]

Yeah it is really fat

That is the 9070

That is 3.25 slot

[frigid stag]

they look smaller in the pics

all the 9070xts pretty much

[lone mango]

That thing is huge

[frigid stag]

xtx looks thicker and more put together

[frosty sinew]

9070?

[lone mango]

xt

[frosty sinew]

Oh and theres a police station like down the road

So we will meet there

[lone mango]

[frigid stag]

good call

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

It is also downtown rochester

Not the greatest area

[frigid stag]

i mean one guy wanted to meet in the middle of nowhere in the evening then flaked when i suggested some other place

was weird asf. bro just said in the listing "want quick cash"

[frosty sinew]

Fr

Ok 330 tomorrow at the police station

[frigid stag]

how much you buying it for

[frosty sinew]

525

Not bad

Cheaper than msrp and no tax

Also its not a budget aib either

[frigid stag]

is the xt?

[frosty sinew]

Yes xfx swift 9070xt

[frigid stag]

ah that makes more sense

was gonna say its a bit high for non xt used

[frosty sinew]

XFX Swift RX 9070 XT Triple Fan Edition Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/xfx-swift-rx-9070-xt-triple-fan-edition.b12281

[frosty sinew]

Even a cheapo 9070xt is still worth it

[frigid stag]

yeah saving like 120

just make sure it works fine and hes not selling it cause of some weird bugs

[frosty sinew]

Yep

And then I sell my 6700xt for 200

Thats a 9070xt for 325

[frigid stag]

you could probably sell it for 250

people pay more for them than theyre worth

[frosty sinew]

I was underestimating

[frosty sinew]

Whyy

[misty sparrow]

It's funny how Microsoft has good ideas but chooses to corrupt them with greed or not do anything with them

I'm with Steve Jobs on this one, Microsoft is ass

[marsh lynx]

I have everything I need for my build except psu, can I build now or do I need to wait for psu

[upper rain]

you can build now. just obviously it won't power on lol

[frigid stag]

idk just people thinking amd's better on used market

maybe its the 12gb vram or something else

[upper rain]

boymaths

[marsh lynx]

Yeah the psu is in the mail

Hopefully comes Monday

[frosty sinew]

Ah

[frosty sinew]

Exactllllly

Worst part is I bought it for 250 cad

[marsh lynx]

had to pay like 500 over sticker for my psu

🫩

[upper rain]

my boymaths is waiting so long to recoup my costs on things i'm swapping out that i just write it off and have a second or third of tenth GPU for no reason

[velvet summit]

uuuuuggggh i hate how some apps decide to use my wheel's pedal as a gamepad input and just scrolls all the way to the bottom

i think i know a solution to stop it but ghub sucks ass

i have to reinstall it because it's infinitely loading

[royal crow]

Logitech products are fine imo

Don't have much experience with ghub

[nocturne flicker]

I actually don't like pears

[velvet summit]

generally slightly overpriced but yeah they're fine usually

[nocturne flicker]

That wasn't just a haha funni reference moment

[velvet summit]

ghub is questionable

it works?

but it occasionally decides to not open anymore

[nocturne flicker]

I also don't like peaches

[velvet summit]

and it's just that one app on multiple computers

[velvet summit]

how could you do this

[nocturne flicker]

The texture is bleh for me

[velvet summit]

what about mangos

[crystal kayak]

It is also downtown rochester

[nocturne flicker]

I've never eaten a mango before. I've had candied mango and mango flavored stuff but I have never been able to buy a mango and eat it

[velvet summit]

damn

it's like the most goated fruit

[nocturne flicker]

I also am very particular about apples

[velvet summit]

wtf

[nocturne flicker]

The skin is a make or break for me

[velvet summit]

i reinstalled it and it loaded in but didnt show any of my devices

so i closed it with the "close ghub" button in the quick actions menu

and now it's not working again

well

there was a reason why i've been trying to migrate away from logitech stuff for my racing stuff

mostly because their high end stuff is way too expensive

and i would still have to deal with ghub

i mainly like the soft and sweet pears than the crisp and less sweet pears

[worn night]

[lone mango]

ok so how the hell are cell site stimulators legal

[nocturne flicker]

Because we've not banned them despite a bill being submitted every year to ban them except when the authorities have a warrant

[dusk knot]

@lone mango scary

I legit never knew such things existed until I googled it just now

[lone mango]

Yeah I just found out these existed

Literally a rogue access point lmfao

Some shit you would see in a unit for a security class

[lone mango]

Incredible

[royal crow]

What happened?

My msgs got deleted

[lone mango]

[dusk knot]

No idea

[misty sparrow]

have no idea what you are talking about

[nocturne flicker]

Ask your search engine of choice for the answer

[lone mango]

discord users being told to look something up

[misty sparrow]

sorry, too busy playing postal

[lone mango]

Understandable

Basically a legal rogue access point that your phone can connect to

or rather one that your phone will connect to when in range

[misty sparrow]

how does your phone automatically connect to it

Wi-Fi? cellular?

Sorry I'm employed. What's the hype with Arc Raiders? (Genuinely curious lol)

[dusk knot]

I can live with windows 11, miss

[weak cedar]

So is it normal for micro desktop to have psu in front of the case?

Apparently psu goes inside but in front

[rough sundial]

Nobody needs 70+ fps apparently

[rough sundial]

For real, i kinda like 11 tho, but 8.1 was just peak

https://tenor.com/view/log-on-gif-20373108

First windows i've ever had

[elfin mural]

if i can notice 120hz, then that's wrong

which i definitely can perceive it

[rough sundial]

Hum weird

I can see between 30 and 60, oh wait, never tried more 😂

[elfin mural]

if you're used to 60 fps then you don't need more

but once you experience more you'll find it a bit difficult to go back

[rough sundial]

60fps on lowest settings on Roblox 😭

[rough sundial]

Oh no not the skinwalker

[elfin mural]

oof

[rough sundial]

I get 0 fps on 2077 by the wah

Raiding what?

[rancid juniper]

your pc

[dusk knot]

My baby!!

No!

[pliant berry]

I really do not understand. if my mac is connected to both ethernet and wifi sometimes it will only use the wifi for large downloads

like why

[dusk knot]

What

[craggy shoal]

I have my Mac Mini's Wi-Fi turned off

[worn wave]

I have high hopes but it's actually smoothbrain of them to release in between BF and COD

I like how my install of Arc raiders (28gb) was finished but then they decided to add an additional update (25gb) as a hotfix

lmfao

[misty sparrow]

still better than call of duty

[strong heart]

any here still play fortnite ?

[craggy shoal]

53GB. Better than CoD's 400+GB. I hate then they give you an extra 25GB post-install

[misty sparrow]

something about streaming textures or something idk

[rancid juniper]

very good, though im running mixed settings and this is the tutorial level im guessing

[craggy shoal]

Mostly high though. Nice

[rancid juniper]

yep

[rancid juniper]

the first image i sent above JP's comment is max settings - RT ON

but i'd like a bit more fps lel

and my goodness the game is SUPER smooth, like this is a UE5 game but i feel NO traversal stutters

frametime graph is flat

[dusk knot]

Its also cash so

@dusk knot jp

[dusk knot]

9070xt?

[dusk knot]

Yes. I am here

[acoustic palm]

I can get it 40$ off too

[dusk knot]

I don't think you'll benefit from 500 HZ but is your money

[acoustic palm]

110$ more over the 360hz

18% more for 39% more hz

[dusk knot]

However....true black 500....

🤔

[acoustic palm]

Yeah that too

[frosty sinew]

Yes lol

[acoustic palm]

Is the panel quality any better

[frosty sinew]

What gpu are u gonna use to run 500 fps

[acoustic palm]

9070xt

[frosty sinew]

Sir idk about that

[acoustic palm]

?

[frosty sinew]

Maybe cs2

[acoustic palm]

Idk I want it though

[frosty sinew]

Bruhhh

Valid

[acoustic palm]

710$

Better hdr then the dell one

[frosty sinew]

I hope this gpu isnt a scam

I really hope

Its another 25k bike ride

[dusk knot]

All I can say is, whatever you choose is going to absolutely destroy your current monitor.

What was the brightness rating for the monitor we spoke of yesterday? @acoustic palm

The only worthwhile upgrade is that 500 nit rating

Most OLED monitors have little downsides besides HDMI or DP being a bit out of date, and maybe some auto dimming

[craggy shoal]

Mini LED for entry-level HDR tbh

[dusk knot]

25H2 of doom

[lone mango]

My favorite part about 25h2 is that it adds more services to your system

Mainly related to copilot

[lone mango]

Oh nice and it's already done, so it will do it by itself if left in sleep for long enough

[rancid juniper]

time to load up the ol reliable copilotdisabler.exe

[lone mango]

If you used talon it modifies the permissions of the folders that copilot is in, so there won't be any additions over time

[tranquil pebble]

and they do this instead of fixing bugs, bruh

[lone mango]

Are you ready

Waiter waiter! More services please!

[rancid juniper]

problem is, i already have so many files that i worry talon will break everything

if i were on a clean install i might've used it

[lone mango]

Yeah if it is old then there is a possibility of something breaking

I think even if it is relatively new it should still be fine

welcome to the slop era

[dusk knot]

And if you're a bad person, even worse things will happen to you

[lone mango]

Nah look at asus and nzxt

They are doing just fine

[lone mango]

Incredible

[lone mango]

nvidia money laundering too

[dusk knot]

😤

[lone mango]

I see the related news section

They got rid of ms-cxh:localonly as well

Brutal

That was the bypass I used when I installed iot enterprise

So I guess now the only one left is to type in that long ass registry command

Or you make an answer file

[opaque sedge]

Any of you guys free rn? I need urgent advice

[craggy shoal]

I just got done with an interview for an IT Specialist position. Wish me luck guys

[craggy shoal]

Depends. What kind of advice?

[frosty sinew]

Almost here

Im here

Wish me luck

[misty sparrow]

i love when discord keeps throwing orb quests my way

[pseudo raven]

should i just get the 7800x3d and save 80 bucks

but also 80 bucks isnt that much and 9800x3d sounds a lot cooler

[acoustic palm]

If you mean hdr it was true black 400

[dense locust]

If 5% is worth $80 bucks

Go for it

[misty sparrow]

Oh yeah, by the way here's a microcenter deal for a 7800x3D, $300. You can price match at best buy

[lone mango]

5% is the normal cpus, not x3d

[proud jackal]

Chinese noodle soup or 5guys burger

[lone mango]

All that had to be done was make a good game and not have an ego

[misty sparrow]

it's already on sale? lmao

[dusk knot]

Oh no

400 is kinda.....weak ngl

That 500 won't be a huge upgrade either
...

[acoustic palm]

For hdr???

[dusk knot]

That's all that matters

SDR doesn't

[dense locust]

What the difference between 78 and 98 then

[acoustic palm]

Soooo

What do I do

[dusk knot]

Uuuughh

That 280hz Alienware

👍

I looked up the reviews

It has good brightness

[acoustic palm]

I was gonna do the 360hz one

Same panel iirc just 360hz over 280

[dusk knot]

Ok

360hz it is

[acoustic palm]

But that is the 400 hdr one

[lone mango]

[frosty sinew]

Yeahh baby

We got it

@dusk knot

500usd

[lone mango]

Think like 15%

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

Also keep in mind I have a 40$ discount on the 500hz one, so it’s 500$ fir the 280, 600 for the 360, and 700 for the 500

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/squid-game-squid-game-2-cheers-happy-excited-gif-13406404385856133045

[acoustic palm]

Yeah ok

Thanks

[sinful blade]

Happy birthday btw

[frosty sinew]

Lol

Stupid high tech peripherals

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

ok, just cleaning it and changing cmos battery then, bet

[dusk knot]

Bet

[dusk knot]

Wait, did you do some Windows updates?

[acoustic palm]

i installed windows

so it should be updated?

[dusk knot]

Still update

As far as I know, the base installation only does the regular Windows 11

If you understand what I'm saying

[lone mango]

I am impressed

[acoustic palm]

[dusk knot]

Nope

[acoustic palm]

[lone mango]

Might turn off rt to get more

[rancid juniper]

@frosty sinew GGs on your 9070xt

[rancid juniper]

wait, this is with RT ON???

[lone mango]

No fsr 4

[rancid juniper]

damn!

[lone mango]

Yeah it defaulted to rt high and epic but I turned it down

[rancid juniper]

wait im curious, can you try my custom settings rq?

[lone mango]

In game settings are a mix of medium up to epic

[rancid juniper]

👀

[lone mango]

epic view distance and high rt but i turned down to med rt

turned down to med rt and then ultra quality xess

[rancid juniper]

i used TAAU @ 100% native res

its the best performing "AA" solution but is not crispy

[lone mango]

I range from 100 to 125

ok 90 to 125\

[frosty sinew]

i love this card sm

its so cool

and the cooler omg

its 50c full load 70 on hotspot

i finally have a top of the line pc

[rancid juniper]

modern gpu coolers now always deliver

[frosty sinew]

6700xt isnt even that old

ok what do i list it for on fb

i think you can get them for 200 so 250?

[rancid juniper]

$200 max

i think anything higher will be a very slow buy imo

[frosty sinew]

idk other people were like do 250 cuz people will pay more than its worth sometimes

maybe like 225

i only paid 250cad

[rancid juniper]

hmm

really up to the market you list it at

[frosty sinew]

well see

9070xt for 300 is wild

[rancid juniper]

wtf?

[frosty sinew]

well sell it for 200

i bought it for 500

[rancid juniper]

ah

[dusk knot]

how are you enjoying the game? do you see it still being a thing in a years time?

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/watch-watchdial-turn-time-gif-11529725

Over clocking

Or I guess you could say Overwatching

[lone mango]

I find it kind of annoying but it is fun at the same time

And like every other unreal game, the settings dont change much in terms of performance lol

But at least it still runs well

[dusk knot]

Hm

Sora is kinda funny.. I dont know why the AI put glasses on him but dang this is kinda weird... his voice is spot on and the video style. I generated this.

[frosty sinew]

the fact its gotten this good

is crazy

and the voice

[deep parcel]

ive been trying to get Sora to generate LTT but it keeps saying thirdparty likeness..

[frigid stag]

crazy the things its generated but it stops at that

[nocturne flicker]

I wonder when the lawsuits roll out. Eventually somebody is gonna have something made that makes headlines and it'll all blow up

I know a couple of companies have already lined up some criticism for it

[dusk knot]

hardware swap is something else lol

actually price matching to bestbuy may be better

than buying from microcenter

[misty sparrow]

It’s pretty good but gets some things wrong

I had a friend generate a prompt I gave him about xqc

[deep parcel]

XQC is officially on there as an option to cameo

[misty sparrow]

oh I know

that's why I gave him the prompt

[deep parcel]

But yeah lol if the actual person is on there, they look super high quality like crazy

[pseudo raven]

yeah cameos are the one thing soras got

veo has been better

[queen rover]

Is there a good spot here to ask software questions?

[fast linden]

ask away

[queen rover]

From all indications from my BIOS TPM 2.0 should be enabled but when I check in windows it says UFEI mode secure boot disabled. This is preventing me from loading valorant at all and overall driving me crazy

It's also becoming challenging to get into my BIOS as my keyboard and mouse both stop working in the windows recovery environment and it seems to miss the timing to get into the BIOS on launch many times in a row

[fast linden]

idk easiest for me will to just figure out if there is something on github to bypass it

[queen rover]

Like something to force activate tpm 2.0?

[fast linden]

no

to bypass the anticheat checks for tpm 2.0

but looks like most of the things are scamy

[rancid juniper]

25H2 did that

for some reason windows recovery is broken due to the latest update

which is wild

[queen rover]

I thought I was losing my marbles

[rancid juniper]

as for bios

well i do have a one click solution to that sorta

[queen rover]

I've been able to get in sometimes but it seems my keyboard just turns off for a few seconds and then when it comes back on it's too late to hit the button. Gigabyte mobo if that matters

[rancid juniper]

@queen rover this one is very helpful: https://youtube.com/shorts/Ky3Uh9dd9bA?si=Ho5dRF0yitGYr1Lv

only works if your bios is UEFI

Trust me.

[sinful blade]

I want this monitor

https://a.co/d/frMvQ5z

[dusk knot]

Looks alright

[sinful blade]

It fits all my boxes

[dusk knot]

What are those?

🤔

I would think affordability is one of those

😔

My god that price is low

I wouldn’t imagine such a deal 5 years ago

[sinful blade]

HDR, 180hz+, 27”, and 1440p

[dusk knot]

I wouldn’t do hdr on that

[elfin mural]

1440p is CHEAP nowadays

also monitors really come from a few oems anyway

going cheaper just means you expect less support

[dusk knot]

True

[elfin mural]

and a non adjustable stand

at least they're all vesa

[sinful blade]

Idc about the support
I tend to just use until I can’t

[elfin mural]

it's on amazon

returns are a breeze anyway

[sinful blade]

Yeah

[dusk knot]

Support or not, the price is outstanding

[elfin mural]

i agree

150 is very cheap

[sinful blade]

I just wish I could afford

I got $0 in birthday money

[elfin mural]

they usually hover at 200 from name brands

180 really taking off rn

[elfin mural]

cheap enough for laptops to begin rocking 1440p panels as well lmao

especially mid-high end

[lone mango]

I want 1440p laptop

[elfin mural]

this year introduced a ton of oled laptops

[lone mango]

with amd cpu

[elfin mural]

oled 1440p and higher

and with amd cpu, but acer loves to slap on intel

annoyingly

[lone mango]

What's with companies giving amd less powerful nvidia gpus

Look at this 9955hx3d wow

And then it has a 5070

[elfin mural]

i just want

[lone mango]

Whereas the intel gets a 5080

[elfin mural]

a ryzen 7 on zen 5

with 5070ti zephyrus

i dont need ryzen 0

9*

[sinful blade]

Compared to what I have now

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hztcsp

[dense locust]

that intel nvidia partnership working

[elfin mural]

asus likes to pair ryzen 9 with 5070ti

[lone mango]

sotru

[sinful blade]

Ah poo I took it off

[dense locust]

then they charge 10000 for it

[elfin mural]

surprisingly

it's only 2.1k

in the us that is

cuz those specs in thailand are at least nearly 3k

[dense locust]

ryzen 0 build be like

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GLm323/acer-sb220q-bi-215-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-sb220q-bi

this is the monitor I have

[elfin mural]

i can only find a 5050 variant for 2k in thailand lol

if i were to get a zeph i'd import one

i can't with these local prices

[dense locust]

[sinful blade]

It was $70

[dense locust]

2k usd?

[elfin mural]

yes

or pay 2k for a strix g16

8945hx, kinda sad but

5070ti

32gb of ram and 1080p screen (interestingly enough)

[nocturne flicker]

Yes yes I too use my Hard Drive's magnets and magnetic properties to make it levitate next to my mobo and lean my sata ssds against the mobo

Hi 🖐️

[ashen swan]

would you rather
get a 5050 for 260
or
get a 3050 for 190 but it's random rather you get the 6 or 8gb version

[elfin mural]

neither

5050 is a waste of sand

at msrp especially

[ashen swan]

Well what if you were FORCED to by nvidia

[cedar compass]

[ashen swan]

because

Nvidia

is

[acoustic palm]

I’m not buying till next month

[frosty sinew]

Did the used gpu market get worse or did I get a really good deal on my 6700xt

Cuz I bought it a year ago for 250cad

Its like 230-260 usd on ebay

[unreal trail]

[dusk knot]

Ok, great.. scrap all the monitors we mentioned before..this is the one

It's 280hz but it's equivalent to a 420hz IPS monitor. The colors and brightness is better than a vast majority of OLED monitors

[craggy shoal]

lol Golf RS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAurGnm1amk

[tranquil pebble]

just gonna say that I would never want a turbocharger in my daily driver... everyone I know that has had a turbo car has had horror storries relating to said turbo

[dusk knot]

What happened?

[tranquil pebble]

Eastbridge and Westbridge

[sinful blade]

Nothin

[dusk knot]

I was talking to joker

I always wanted a car with more power

What I now have is just soo weak

[pliant berry]

I just want carplay

[craggy shoal]

It really depends on the car, mileage, [other things I can't think of]. I drive a GTI with a stage 1 tune. I've seen some people with stage 2+/3 tunes (so, a bigger turbo) and even then I have yet to hear about head gasket issues from people with GTIs like that

[acoustic palm]

How is the hz that much better and how much will it cost????

I don’t have a budget btw, just want a reasonable price

[dusk knot]

Don’t care about about the hz. It won’t make you a better gamer lol. $550 or so

Very reasonable

[acoustic palm]

550???

[dusk knot]

Yes…550 usd

[acoustic palm]

Also ik the hz won’t help, actually it will hurt me, i just want it to look smooth

[dusk knot]

Remember, this is 280hz from an OLED

Not an IPS

[acoustic palm]

It’s different? Idk too too much about monitors so

[dusk knot]

It’s going to be very smooth

[acoustic palm]

Also is it possible to pre order this

[dusk knot]

The rate at which the pixels change to a different color are much slower on LCD technology, so the smoothness would look as if there’s added motion blur compared to an OLED with the same refresh rate.

[acoustic palm]

Oooooh ok that makes sense

[craggy shoal]

I want a mini LED monitor

[acoustic palm]

Thanks

[dusk knot]

No you don’t

[craggy shoal]

Yes I do

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

Also where can I buy this (hopefully Amazon?)

It’s fine if not though

[dusk knot]

Yes, Amazon

[acoustic palm]

Ok bet

I have a gift card for that

Bro this is gonna be so peakkk

[dusk knot]

Just need to wait

Yes, peak OLED

[acoustic palm]

So no pre ordering?

[dusk knot]

On Amazon all the links I’ve found are blank for now

[acoustic palm]

Wait it’s 4th gen OLED for 550$??

[dusk knot]

It's supposed to be

OLED tech is getting cheaper every year or two

[acoustic palm]

Also it’s WOLED, isn’t that worse than QD OLED or does the generation make that much of a difference

[deep parcel]

Honestly id be worried about having an oled with the possibility of burn in on pc.

especially because I work on my pc and have screen elements in one spot

[acoustic palm]

There’s technologies to prevent it

[deep parcel]

true

[dusk knot]

No...this gen has somewhat surpassed QD-OLED.

The colors are even richer

And the overall brightness is better

a 2% window for this monitor is 1600nits and around....630ish on a full screen I believe in HDR

[acoustic palm]

Wait is QD OLED just 3rd gen or am I being stupid

[dusk knot]

It's WOLED

gen 4

[dusk knot]

No....these two techs are different

[acoustic palm]

Ok

[dusk knot]

It's going to be good

[acoustic palm]

Ok so get this one

[dusk knot]

Trust me

Yes

I might get it myself

[craggy shoal]

I'm lazy to scroll up and find it. Which one? (I'm thinking of getting a new monitor)

[acoustic palm]

Ok also is that price confirmed or not

[dusk knot]

Even the screen coating is very good for a matte finish
