[mystic sedge]

A future proof psu

[grand orbit]

Drop the unnecessary 0's

[cinder kiln]

Again, future proof is not a thing

[grand orbit]

I'd just buy a new psu when you need one

Well eith psus you can but you'll end up just paying more

[mystic sedge]

I’m gonna need one for the next gen and tho?

[cinder kiln]

Unlike you I work to 4 significant figures for accuracy

[mystic sedge]

Amd i gotta turn off auto correct

[cinder kiln]

Nope

[grand orbit]

Depends what you have now and what tier of gpu you get

[cinder kiln]

Next gen amd uses old connectors

[mystic sedge]

Wtf I have a 600w rn

[cinder kiln]

If that's what you're worried about

Also adapters exist and it doesn't even matter

[grand orbit]

Depends what model psu and gpu you want

Crap

[mystic sedge]

Well damn I am glad I talked to you guys

[grand orbit]

No prob

[mystic sedge]

Thanks a lot. Next gen AMD it is. Any advice on scoring one on release

?

[cinder kiln]

Fast fingers

Aim training

[mystic sedge]

Lol

[grand orbit]

Hope to god they have decent stock

[cinder kiln]

Inb4 another near paper launch

AMD promised before and they had worse stock last time

[cloud hornet]

Idk, 4320p is called 8k UHD despite being 7.6k. Tbf 1440p should be called 2k for consistency.

[cinder kiln]

It's called that based on the horizontal pixel count

2560 is not 2K

That's closer to 3K

By approximation

On that basis of rule 2K is closer to 1080p (1920 horizontal pixel count)

On that note the next size up ("16K") may actually end up being called 15K

It's an annoying approximation used incorrectly in marketing

[grand orbit]

Oh no, like we will ever need over 4k but anyway

[cloud hornet]

I guess time to call it 3k?
Also yeah, would really like to see an accurate K for once. 15k being actually close to 15k

[cinder kiln]

At least samsung does it right, they call their 1440p screens 2.5K

I remember this cos the g9 is two 1440p screens together and that's marketed as 5K

[grand orbit]

Tbf 4k is close enough to 4k

3840

[cloud hornet]

I guess, but name is also over the amt you're actually getting. Seems a bit disingenuous to round up for marketing.

[cinder kiln]

When has marketing ever been honest

4 TIMES OVER LAST GEN

4 0 9 0

[cloud hornet]

When Nvidia called their 4060Ti a 4080. Most honest marketing ever. Never seen anything more honest.

[cinder kiln]

I had a guy in another server tells me he struggles with pixels at 4K 27" the other day

[molten halo]

How about charging a grand for it

[cinder kiln]

I gave up on him

[grand orbit]

They're hardly gonna make it 3.8k or something like thats just clunky and 3k is way to far to round down

[grand orbit]

Mf has 60/60 vision

[cinder kiln]

More like 100/20

Like wtf

Everyone posting gifs like

[grand orbit]

In RT with dlss 3.0 vs in RT with no dlss kekw

[molten halo]

https://tenor.com/view/no-pixels-cant-see-ben-chang-community-ken-jeong-gif-17361588

[grand orbit]

You know it's not a score out of 20 it's right eye/left eye lol

[cinder kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/up-is-not-jump-screen-looking-closer-pixels-monitor-gif-15458707

Is it? Well even his lecture about vision was bs

Ffs

Guess it would be 60 60 then ey

Saying he struggles at arms length with 4K at that size

Like bruh, I'm doing the same thing rn

[cloud hornet]

Dude is sitting like 14cm away from monitor? ~30ppd is when I notice shimmering in games with AA.

[cinder kiln]

He said arms length

[cloud hornet]

14cm arms?

[cinder kiln]

Lmfao

[grand orbit]

Yeah lmao

[quasi pasture]

Im gonna buy 64GB of sodimms for my daily

[cinder kiln]

Ur sodimms are gonna overheat from the locality to the hedt

Have fun

[quasi pasture]

no they arent lmao what?

"locality to the hedt"?

[cinder kiln]

Kek

Got you in two there

What gpu is that btw in general

[quasi pasture]

in my pc?

[cinder kiln]

Midnight rdna 2?

[quasi pasture]

yea, 6800xt

[cinder kiln]

Oooo a rare one

[quasi pasture]

:)

uh oh

[cinder kiln]

Oh

[quasi pasture]

yea i stole it from rommy

i mean borrowing

[cinder kiln]

Oh i c

[quasi pasture]

you know i rarely kill hardware

🗿

like actually rare

[cloud hornet]

57.9ppd with 27" UHD monitor at 18" away. Technically possible to notice pixels, but idk.

[quasi pasture]

yea i wouldnt worry if i were you

[cinder kiln]

At 18" sure but a man's arms length would be more like 24" to 30"

[fathom nebula]

"wouldn't worry"

Receives just the PCB with missing cooler and screws and suddenly a leaky core

[cinder kiln]

Unless he stubby af

[cloud hornet]

Im going for tiny arms, best case scenario

[cinder kiln]

This is giving me a hilarious imagination rn

[cloud hornet]

73.5ppd with 27" UHD monitor at 24" away.

[cinder kiln]

Idk

[cloud hornet]

You saying that random user was secretly you?

[cinder kiln]

I should get my eyes tested

I used to be able to read small print on signs from like 20m away

When I was like 8

Can't do it now tho

That's like peak eyesight age

[grand orbit]

Maybe they're just really short kekw

[elder ingot]

rommy moment

:(

[cinder kiln]

Sudo you should buy those mousepads soon

We'll hit 45 soon and you'll need to buy 3

[cloud hornet]

With the perfect monitor, a person really looking for individual pixels, and no AA, the average person should be able to see 80ppd. However that is a lot of specific requirements for day to day usage.

[cinder kiln]

Right?

If I look really freaking close to my 4K 27"

And draw the lines around my windows icons

maybe???

This guy was straight up bothered and frustrated

[grand orbit]

What's ppd stand for?

[cloud hornet]

pixel per degree

[grand orbit]

Per degree?

[cloud hornet]

PPI + distance

[grand orbit]

Weird

Ahh

[native steeple]

Nice tech deal

[cinder kiln]

@elder ingot 3 mouse pads

[main sable]

is this where i ask about what kind of a machine to find

[azure pond]

budget, country, use case and do you want pre built or build it yourself

[main sable]

budget 1200 TEXAS! coding and prebuilt dell if i can

Dell 78xx or 79xx

and something i could put used nvidia cards into

with an eye towards using ubuntu/rhel/centos

[azure pond]

Dell makes pretty bad pcs, I would buy something from ABS on newegg

They have $1200 3060 ti builds

Actually

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali641/p/N82E16883360306?Item=N82E16883360306&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-83-360-306-_-11132022

$950 3060 ti 12400f build @main sable

[main sable]

oh

but i am not going to be gaming

i want something with xeon and 20 cores and as many nvidia cards as i can cram in

[stoic crest]

You don't need such setup for coding

Besides those old platforms that would fit your budget are terrible nowadays

[azure pond]

for why

if you need strong cpu power, just do a 13700k igpu build

[elder ingot]

alright pal.

bud.

sport.

[main sable]

Foxy could you explain

do lots of dev-ops plus coding and need to test on rhel and ubuntu

and yocto builds nicely on a multicpu machine

[brittle lagoon]

Ngl sounds like a perfect opportunity for @quasi pasture to advertise some x99

[quasi pasture]

[stoic crest]

lmao

[mortal blaze]

i lookin for gpu support on horizontal

i bought a gtx 1060, is so weight for board, i think

is like 6bpounds

somebody can recommend? 😄

tag, ples

[vague pine]

could just use some legos or some sort of support. figure, plastic stand, or you can get an actual support bracket of some sort

https://www.amazon.com/Graphics-Brace-Support-Holder-Bracket/dp/B09FPJL1KY/

https://www.amazon.com/novonest-Graphics-Anodized-Aerospace-Aluminum/dp/B097MKKLRW/

https://www.amazon.com/YATENG-Graphics-Anodized-Aerospace-Aluminum/dp/B07S7ZBB51/

[zenith vector]

Does anyone know any good prebuilts pcs? My friend want one and idk much about the pre built world. I just say the highest level components with the cheaper price is better

And that’s all I got. The budget is. Around $1000-1300

[daring depot]

TBH just check around. It's close to black friday and newegg already has some pretty good deals.

What games do you expect to play?

[grand orbit]

1060s are very light, support bracket isn't needed at all

[grand orbit]

Deff would get this
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali641/p/N82E16883360306

[zenith vector]

Like 1440p OW2 and cod and fps games mostly

[short kindle]

The pc Pato posted is good. Save the rest of the budget for peripherals.

[fair moon]

that prebuilt is actually pretty nice ngl

[jolly inlet]

@fair moon I didn't mention the HDR because it's cheapo HDR 10 and barely worth using, but it's able to accept a HDR signal at least

[fair moon]

Ah

[fiery zephyr]

I might pick up the speakers myself

Gpus gonn have to wait

Lmao

This is why i shouldn't have money

[fleet marlin]

Bestbuy might have em same price btw if these are the same: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-series-5-1-4-340-watt-passive-2-way-bookshelf-speakers-pair-black/6501482.p?skuId=6501482

[fiery zephyr]

Yes there the same

[pallid geyser]

Good thing I don’t, problem solved 👍

[opal flume]

Spend all of your money, then you won't have any to worry about wasting

[vague pine]

and if you have no more money because you spent it all, the government cant tax you. ez

[grave delta]

In that price range, go for the kef 150's if possible

Or pioneer bs41's like these https://www.ebay.com/p/96448397

For an amp - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CJZGT6H

[fair moon]

Remember money in the bank is just slowly getting eaten by inflation

Spend money as soon as you get it in order to avoid inflation

[jolly inlet]

Yep inflation outpaces interest by a wide margin

[fiery zephyr]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394273275894?mkcid=

Oh uhhhh

[high radish]

[loud sandal]

Is that why I'm negative $500

[fair moon]

Probably not

[loud sandal]

Hm

[normal tiger]

This really a good deal? I don’t know much about over ear headphones

[fiery zephyr]

akg is typicaly good never used there wireless devices tho

[daring depot]

so...this is bad because it's wireless?

I really wanna try their n700 but i can't afford new so i wanna try used

[short kindle]

Traded a 3600 and a 1080 for a r5 1400, Evga 1660 super and $100.

[pallid geyser]

[azure pond]

That's a fat rip

[pulsar fable]

._.

[short kindle]

Made off with that one, going to buy another 3600 now

[pulsar fable]

At that point it may just be better to get a 12400f

Or wait for a 13400_

Heck even a ryzen 5600 since you're in the market for an upgrade after that... trade

[loud sandal]

Lol

[pulsar fable]

What else am I supposed to call that exchange? A robbery?

[jolly inlet]

They're a flipper

They'll turn it into a cheap low end build for someone

If I had to guess they probably only paid $150-200 for the 3600 and 1080 anyway

[short kindle]

The guy wanted more fps. I gave him exactly double what he had. I also installed the parts. I had $100 in the 1080 and nothing in the 3600.

[jolly inlet]

Even better

Basically free stuff at that point

[short kindle]

The 1400 is going in a build. Approximate cost will be $400

That’s with peripherals and a monitor

[grand orbit]

Nevermind i misread

[oak sentinel]

ILLEGAL

DETECHIE URSELF

[lofty moss]

you can verify deez nuts

🗿

[oak sentinel]

For the low low price of 8$, it is possible

[quasi pasture]

[fiery zephyr]

I meaaann i can verify them 😉😉

Sad

[loud sandal]

no 13900k sad

[fair moon]

Thats gotta be a record

Actually it probably just looks longer cause I'm on mobile

[stoic crest]

that's one long ass link

[short kindle]

no its huge on pc as well

[fair moon]

Dayum

[jolly inlet]

Straight up 6 lines on desktop and takes up the entire screen on mobile

[vague pine]

its worse for me because i have a vertical monitor

[cinder kiln]

So many cookies

[grand orbit]

I just deleted the original cuz the shortened is there

[light holly]

RIP

The link was getting more attention than Pato so he deleted it.

[grand orbit]

You caught me

[steel wren]

@spice sail that's not a chat channel bro, this one is

[loud sandal]

long link is better

[high radish]

[loud sandal]

how are you

[high radish]

Thanks. What about you

[torpid night]

should’ve just copied it and then delete everything after the question mark. then it’s your own link and watch bro’s link get deleted lmao

[high radish]

That ssd is same price as 980 pro lol why would you get random Chinese SSD instead of 980 pro

[loud sandal]

whats your pc now? what specs

[high radish]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2TX2nt

Waiting for black Friday deals to get new mobo and possibly 4090

Still couldn't decide which mobo and gpu

[loud sandal]

I say get z790 elite AX

Or master

[high radish]

Wait there's white 4080

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N4080AERO-OC-16GD/sp#sp

Come on gigabyte and Asus why not white 4090

[steel wren]

assuming you find one xD

look at egg, all of them sold out

[high radish]

Saw one at antonline in stock but it went oos while I looking for details lmao

Idk if replacing 3090 with 4080 is good idea

I need white 4090

[steel wren]

not if you have to pay scalper price 😛

[high radish]

is 4080 better than 3090 ?

I didn't see any benchmarks recently

[torpid night]

I wouldn’t know but I would check Hardware Unboxed for benchmarks

good and unbiased benchmarkers :)

[high radish]

White strix 4090 wen

[robust basin]

Sorry guys for me the link was short 😅

[grand orbit]

A lil bit but not enough to be worth the upgrade

No prob on the link

[torpid night]

you can delete everything after the question mark. it’ll still give the same result when searching for it

[cinder kiln]

Omg that Tuf laptop

[fiery zephyr]

Ikr

[grand orbit]

@fathom nebula ree no price

gud

[loud sandal]

Who needs price just click link

[grand orbit]

Well one you needa click link, 2, when i click an amz link on mobil it tries to bring me in app asking if i wanna change country

[loud sandal]

Haha

[grand orbit]

Amazon issues

[loud sandal]

Get better country

[grand orbit]

Or it brings you to the closest thing on your countries site

[grand orbit]

Could say the same thing to you

Laughs in free healthcare

[loud sandal]

Laughs in not needing to stand in a line

[fair moon]

ah yes ill pay tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills just to not have to wait in line for a non urgent issue

[grand orbit]

But you'll have to do that anyway lol?

[high radish]

Healthcare in US is expensive but it's alright. In my homeland healthcare sux

[short kindle]

Same...In and out...Done

[loud sandal]

Yea I heard from a Canada person they have to wait in line ans while being in that line they can pass away while they wait to get the medical attention at least for us we can pay and survive

[short kindle]

So it’s like going to the VA Hospital here.

[fair moon]

I would bet that more americans die because they can't afford healthcare than Canadians die because of long lines

[short kindle]

The only thing I see an issue with is medication being astronomically high. Most doctors allow for payment plans and heavy discounts for paying in cash.

[loud sandal]

I say both

[fair moon]

What?

[loud sandal]

Both die

Everyone dies

[worthy reef]

Might have to buy ngl

[grand orbit]

Never heard of it

[fervent elk]

pretty sure the silicon power value ram only has a heatsink on one side

bear that in mind if that’s something you might care about

[loud sandal]

No wonder it's cheap

[grand orbit]

Literally doesn't matter at 3200cl16

[stoic crest]

^

can even run bare like that

[loud sandal]

lol

[fervent elk]

It doesn’t you’re right, but I think it’s worth noting for aesthetic reasons. Some people might care about that

[grand orbit]

Yeah ofc but i was responding to "no wonder it's so cheap"

[fleet marlin]

Lots of Amazon stuff extra 5% on prime card. 2TB 980 PRO* for example ends up $162 instead of $171.

[winter perch]

thinking of getting my mom a new laptop for xmas, anyone see any sick laptop deals recently?

[grand orbit]

What's the budget? And what do they use it for?

Also what country

[grand orbit]

Well yes but that requires you to sign up for a credit card so it's better than it seems

[winter perch]

I mean i was wanting to stick around 500-ish it doesnt have to be the biggest and best. meh, she uses it just for light viewing but the one she has is just a dinosaur.
USA

[grand orbit]

Okay lemme have a look

[fleet marlin]

Nah I've had "that card" the whole 4+ yrs of my prime account. People are missing out a decent amount of cashback w/o it. Sure the card & 5-10% unavailable for some users

[grand orbit]

I'd go with this if you don't mind refurbished

How's this combo tho https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4522645&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-4522645-_-11172022

[brittle lagoon]

It's alright, considering 12900k performs basically like a 13700k

[high radish]

13700k is for 440$ currently so + 200$ mobo becoming basically same price

So this combo is not a big deal

[grand orbit]

Nah it's meh

[loud sandal]

@high radish you could get this plus 13600k but then price of DDR5

[grand orbit]

Just to let you know the first one doesn't have an ssd so I'd avoid that one

[obtuse sandal]

can someone explain why isn't the huntsman elite a good deal

[brittle lagoon]

It's just not a good keyboard, it almost feels like a 40$ keyboard marked up to hell

Especially when Razer clicky switches are really wacky

[steel wren]

own a huntsman v2 red swithces.... can certify

its too clicky and its meh for the price

the only razer peripheral i like is my basilisk 😄 love that mouse

[loud sandal]

[obtuse sandal]

i have it too i love it

but i feel like the huntsman is solid. the only issue i have with it is the volume wheel

what keyboards would you guys recommend

[quasi pasture]

There's always a better option than buying a razer keyboard for msrp

[loud sandal]

Gamestop

I have this only issue is B key anmd the back things keep falling down

[quasi pasture]

And how much was that

[loud sandal]

I only got it for $38

[quasi pasture]

ehhhhhhhhh

[loud sandal]

But I'll be changing it soon

I don't like it doesn't have number pad

[steel wren]

is solid no doubt... just like the 4080.... the price is horrendous

[quasi pasture]

Yea I like the number pad

[steel wren]

the huntsman should be on the 40-60 range max

[loud sandal]

I need it for my one game to change cam mode

I tried to chnage controls in settings but it didn't stay

[quasi pasture]

Yea I only like having the num pad because then it's extra keys for my games lol

[loud sandal]

Yea

[quasi pasture]

Yea I was gonna say that

suncrapse

[loud sandal]

I wanna get one of these

[quasi pasture]

Based

[loud sandal]

What's wrong with the software I had no issues with it what's so ever

[steel wren]

it is

mine in fact tend to download updates almost every day

[loud sandal]

Doesn't use up any of my resicouses

[loud sandal]

Why

[steel wren]

dunno

thing i hate the most about my huntsman is the tendency of just starting the pc with all lights off most of the time

a friend onf mine said to me that could be firmware issue on the leyboard itself

but once i close syncrapse the keyboard lights turn on

weird, but eh

my "easy" fix... just unplug the keyboard once and plug again and everything works fine

[loud sandal]

You said it's bloatware it's not even using any of my ram or cpu or anything only thing that's eating up my Resources is chrome even tomie has the software lol download into her pc haha

[steel wren]

never going to buy razer again. period

[loud sandal]

No lol

[quasi pasture]

I'm still considering getting a C2

[loud sandal]

I just use windows defender

[quasi pasture]

Maybe I should just treat myself and buy it....

My IBM keyboard keys have been getting stuck and it's a slow keyboard either way lol

Imagine not having enough ram to run Norton @fathom nebula

[quasi pasture]

Bro.

[loud sandal]

I am no capping

Idk I took it with my ultrawide

Discord compression

No

Well ofc keychron better the buttons don't get stuck

[quasi pasture]

A few keys on mine get stuck occasionally but it's not because it's dirty

[loud sandal]

It's clean lol

[quasi pasture]

Iirc it's my escape key and f1 I think

Reduce reuse recycle

Sorry you're jealous of my awesome hardware

[quasi pasture]

You know what

Soup is for nerds

nerd.

[obtuse sandal]

But at $95 still not worth it?

I bought it 3 years ago with the extended Goliath mousepad for $200 and I don’t regret it at all

I love the feel of clicks and I like how easy it is to customize rgb in synapse

It is buggy tho

[high radish]

is this monitor good deal ? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1686007-REG/gigabyte_31_5_m32qc_gaming_monitor.html

[grand orbit]

yeah thats nicee

[high radish]

gonna get one then

[loud sandal]

Good price but sad va panel

I just switched from VA back to my IPS monitor and my eyes are exploding with light

[high radish]

lol

in gaming its hard to see dark spots with ips panel tho

[fair moon]

My VA panel is bright af

I have it set to like 45% and it's still pretty bright

And that one^ is 350nit which is more than mine

[azure pond]

My VA panel was fine as a main monitor, but now that I'm using it as a side monitor it mostly just has Google on it

If I didn't change it to dark mode it would be blindingly bright

[fair moon]

yeah light mode applications are so bright

[loud sandal]

are you sure

I just checked my monitor is set to FPS mode bc standard is to dark

[cinder kiln]

Damn that series s deal

[vague pine]

i might buy it honestly for my step dad for christmas if the deal is still going on in like 3~4 weeks

$200 for a series s is pretty pog

my step dad still has the og xbox one, the one that had all the problems and required the kinect

[cinder kiln]

Kekw

[pallid geyser]

Ugh Kinect

[keen marsh]

Seeing as its backwards compatible and can use retroarch (without dev mode now) its an amazing deal

[loud sandal]

What xbox I gotta buy my parents a new one

[wide onyx]

for $20 more, one can get the samsung 980 pro vs the 970 in tech-deals

[loud sandal]

Yea

I say the 3.0 ssd is good for if you d9nt have 4.0 ssd slot

[wide onyx]

still, the 970 is good enough for 2tb

also that

[loud sandal]

Both are 2TB

[wide onyx]

yeah, i'm just saying 2tb is great so the 970 is just fine

but if interested, the 980 pro is only another $20 for same amount of storage

[daring depot]

Isn't there a significant speed difference?

I thought the pro was like 6000 or 3000 megabytes per something

[loud sandal]

Yes but you mobo has to support 4.0 gen

[daring depot]

oh

[wide onyx]

right

[loud sandal]

If your mobo doesn't not support 4x4 gen it will just run 3x4 gen

[wide onyx]

yeah, just seems to me $20 is quite feasible if your mobo can support it

[loud sandal]

[cinder kiln]

I'd say that's pretty good tbh

[grand orbit]

It's an insane deal tbh

[sonic shard]

really liking the rgb lightbar under the bottom

[fiery zephyr]

Nice deal @azure pond

I needed a new psu that seems great for a rog psu

[azure pond]

Def a good choice, im pretty sure it's A tier but I'm not 100% sure

I'm on mobile and don't feel like checkingn

If I needed one rn I'd be buying it

Honestly if I hadn't spent so much recently I'd buy it just as a spare

[fiery zephyr]

Lol ill check for ya

Got nothing better to do rn

Sitting In homeroom

[fiery zephyr]

NNOOOOOOO THE DEALS GONE 😭😭😭

[azure pond]

RIP

[fiery zephyr]

Oh ya big deal

[azure pond]

Lmao

[stoic crest]

one single cent

[grand orbit]

that was an insane deal im pretty sure all the strix models are a tier

[azure pond]

Yeah thought so

[fiery zephyr]

Im so sad

I went to ACTUALLY buy it and the deal was gone

[keen marsh]

If they use disc's for movies, the Xbox series S doesn't have a disc drive. But if they stream a lot of movies and use game pass its great.

[fiery zephyr]

Yea personally i dont buy discs and dont have a 4k monitor so thats why i went series s

Most games still look great and quick resume is a game changer

I cant go back to my one s lol

[grand orbit]

Discs is that some ancient medium like scrolls?

[keen marsh]

I have a Series S for Retroarch and Xbox 360 games that aren't on PC. use it at 1440p but even then upscaling can be gross on some of them.

lIke Dragon Age Origins looks gross on the Xbox series S if you try to upscale to 4k, cause they only have 720p textures. So I just play that on PC lul

[light holly]

At a thrift store.. this a good deal? XD

[azure pond]

Lmao

[fiery zephyr]

Thats actually really cool

[pallid geyser]

[quasi pasture]

I'd buy that and hang it up in my room as decoration lol

[jolly inlet]

Damn a whole 512mb, the biggest DDR stick I ever had was 128mb. I snagged it from my mom's XP and put it in my 98SE to upgrade it to 192mb lol. StarCraft for days.

I have some ddr2 rdimms that are only 256MB

[quasi pasture]

Should I buy a G27Q for $233

[jolly inlet]

That's not bad

But do you need it?

[high radish]

I bought M32QC for 229$

[jolly inlet]

Now that's a steal

VA but I could live with it for that price

[high radish]

Yeah VA is alright for gaming

[jolly inlet]

32 inch is about where curved is getting nice too

[high radish]

32inch non curved looks like fisheye lol

[loud sandal]

Hm

[quasi pasture]

it's a very justifiable want

Ive been really wanting a monitor upgrade for months now and paying for it wont really hurt

[pallid geyser]

Nice dude

[jolly inlet]

Then do it, that's a good price

[loud sandal]

I need to find another m27Q for cheap

[jolly inlet]

I don't think we'll see that below $300 without coupons and such again, it was simply too popular

And they have new models now

[vague pine]

$330 rn on amazon, according to honey, it was $290 back in october around the 18st~21th

[jolly inlet]

pcpp says it was $280 at best buy in september
Which is still well above its lowest point

[grand orbit]

@short kindle just curious how the cloud stingers are a bad deal?

Are they not that good?

[grand orbit]

Literally what the g27q is except no kvm

[stoic crest]

they're fine as is

but that sale is hard to disagree even if it's meh

[loud sandal]

Yea

[grand orbit]

[grand orbit]

6700xts are 370 new soo

[loud sandal]

sad well deal was new but its gone in like 1 hour

[short kindle]

They are easily broken. Aren’t those the all plastic ones?

@fair moon I bought that case. That is a killer deal!

[light holly]

They may be all plastic, but they sound good and for that price it's a pretty good deal.

as for durability.. mine feel pretty durable.

[short kindle]

I understand but we all are entitled to our opinions. We can agree to disagree. Maybe I had not any luck with the pair I owned.

[light holly]

I mean. it's not opinion when the sound:price ratio is good.

Which makes it a good deal lol

[short kindle]

🫡

[stoic crest]

afaik the stinger has metal headband

gives some assurance to quality

unlike some razer stuff where they use plastic for headband

those things snaps within 5 months

[light holly]

You are right. Just had a look at mine and they do indeed have metal headband.

[stoic crest]

even the cheaper stinger core has that

but its tuning is horrid

nothing but bass, like very muddy kind

[grand orbit]

They're literally all plastic and are decent even at full price to my knowledge

[fair moon]

Pretty sure most razer headbands are metal

At least the Kraken is

Maybe the budget ones aren't tho

[dry flume]

[fair moon]

yeah it does https://www.ssupd.co/products/meshlicious

unless their site is messed up

[grand orbit]

ohhhhhhhh you meant psu's

i thought you meant mobos

[fair moon]

oh my bad lmao

[short kindle]

The Hyte Revolt 3 is the superior deal with the PSU at 129.99 you cant beat it.

[fair moon]

H1 is a decent bit smaller & comes with a cooler but yeah the $130 revolt is great

btw Gearbox just bought out the RoR devs

Which I believe means buying 3rd party/"greymarket" keys is no longer hurting a small indie dev team

[brittle lagoon]

Hope it's a decent PSU lol

[pallid geyser]

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D4-0010-00010? What do y’all think ab this monitor?

[fair moon]

overpriced

oh it's 240 not 144

less overpriced i guess?

IMO above 144 isn't really worth it unless you play at a professionally competitive level

idk much about monitors but I might say HP > Nixeus. Same price, still 1440p240hz
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824276870

[azure pond]

I personally wouldn't buy it

[pallid geyser]

Gotcha gotcha

[cloud hornet]

Fast sync would also just work for most of those using >144Hz monitors. Uncapped FPS without tearing.

[fair moon]

not quite following whatcha saying

you mean as opposed to a freesync/gsync monitor?

or does fast sync work better on a 240hz panel?

[brittle lagoon]

I can confirm that 240hz monitor did not help me with being better at osu

[cloud hornet]

Fast sync is a vsync replacement, not a free/g-sync replacement. Just doing 144Hx (with free/g-sync prolly) and fastsync is more then enough for most doing >144Hz. Obv not always, legitimate FPS pros may suffer slightly.

[fair moon]

I see

So i can run fast sync and freesync at the same time?

[cloud hornet]

Ye

[fair moon]

huh

[cloud hornet]

I've done it for a while. I did notice that CP2077 didn't work with it tho (got tearing). Only game I've had not work with it.

[fair moon]

oh cause freesync doesn't cut frames above monitor hz right?

only helps if below?

[cloud hornet]

Ye, VRR helps tearing if FPS is below monitor refresh rate.

Fastsync helps above.

[fair moon]

bruh

wait I can still hit apply tho

[pallid geyser]

I think my monitor is free sync compatible but not gsync

But I have a 3080

Idk if that makes a difference

[fair moon]

mine has freesync so imma give it a shot

@cloud hornet If I have both fast sync and freesync turned on in nvidia panel, should I set an fps cap in game?

[jolly inlet]

That just means nvidia hasn't tested it and it might not work perfectly

[fair moon]

ok

[jolly inlet]

I get the same warning for my G27QC and it's fine. It's not a perfect 0 tearing experience but I didn't expect it to be. It's still an improvement.

[cloud hornet]

Don't have to, but can if you want. I don't like wasting power or potentially making coil whine worse with 300+ fps

[fair moon]

Where do you cap it relative to max hz?

[jolly inlet]

Depends on the game. Single player stuff I cap to refresh rate and get better frame rate stability, but if I do fps games I might set it to double the refresh rate.

[loud sandal]

Yea you need 360hz

[cloud hornet]

Afaik there isnt a need to cap as a relative number. I usually set 200fps max for my 60Hz FHD laptop and 100Hz UW-QHD desktop displays.

[grand orbit]

Ryzen 7000 cpu deals are just useless till b650 drops price

[high radish]

Yeah but cpu prices going down to what it supposed to be

[loud sandal]

When is that happening

[high radish]

Correct amd prices should be
7600x - 220ish
7700x 300$
7900x - 450
7950x - 550ish

Maybe they can sell out this way

[grand orbit]

Let me shake my magic 8 ball

[loud sandal]

[grand orbit]

Even still absolute cheapest board is 190$

[high radish]

200$ mobo + 200$ ddr5 kit

[grand orbit]

Yeah adds up quick

[slow sluice]

Microcenter has the right idea

Free ram and $25 off the mobo is a much better buy

[loud sandal]

I mean there's $200 z690 mobos brrrrrr

[grand orbit]

Yes but b660s exist

[stoic crest]

cheapest b650 available is the gigglebyte ds3h

even then it's frickin 149

and not that great for the price

[loud sandal]

True but soon amd will habe other versions too

Who needs cheap just buy expensive

[grand orbit]

Ehhhhh

Oh that's not on pcpp weird

[high radish]

too lazy to check tier of that psu but I guess its good for that price anyways

[jolly inlet]

It's a low C tier

[high radish]

[jolly inlet]

Passable but if you need 750W you probably don't want a C

Oh even better

Do not use on ~115V input, 230V only

[high radish]

people in US :

[fiery zephyr]

Welp

[high radish]

eh lots of people buying psu randomly without knowing tier list lol

they mostly working alright tho lol

excepting gigabyte hazard psus

[high radish]

I mean theres not lots of info about psus

its really hard to choice psu cooler and stuff couse its really hard to compare them

[light bay]

Toms hardware has done a ton of reviews on em

[high radish]

which even I didn't watched it lol

I falling asleep when I watch that kind of tech videos lmao

That's the G9 not the Neo G9 different monitors

Two different models with different specs

[loud sandal]

Gosh darn it

I've been fooled again

[shut lava]

Monitor names are too similar and confusing

[loud sandal]

Haha

Someone is leaking I see

[shut lava]

its either a set of random numbers and letters(GXPRQ27324334NPXXXEUIAHDF) or all the monitors have simialr names that tell you nothing useful.

[jolly inlet]

Leaking?

[jolly inlet]

Acer is the worst offender for that, they have 2 separate strings of random garbage and they can both be different on similar models

[shut lava]

I hate how acer has three different monitors where the model starts with the same 6 to 10 characters then there are 8 completely random characters afterwards that distinguish the models.

Its worse than deciphering RAM chips from model numbers

Might get that for storing/editing my photos

[high radish]

I need 8tb backup drive so 4x2tb sounds little much lol 2x 4tb is alright . but idk if I should get this one or get mx500 + box

[fair moon]

Ah

Mx500 most likely better but not built to be portable

[fair moon]

If it's just gonna be sitting on a desk I'd probably go for the mx500. If you travel with it maybe go for the crucial x6

[fair moon]

The X6 uses USB so yes it can be plugged into a laptop

[high radish]

it will be my backup drive so it will sit on desk all the time lol

[fair moon]

I'd guess the mx500 is somewhat better quality so if you don't mind spending a but more to add enclosures that's probably the better buy.

[high radish]

yeah and I may use it as just sata ssd too

[grand orbit]

Decent

[high radish]

I'm in between mx500 and that one

[grand orbit]

Well x6 has the advantage and disadvantage of usb

[high radish]

yeah mx500 can be used as sata ssd as well . but x6 is cheaper . is quality same ?

I got 8gb 2400mhz sodimm for $20 a while ago

i'd guess this is 3200 which might be more expensive but yeah probably $30

even after adding ram and storage that's a pretty good price

Exactly, you'll want to turn off all the extra AI features like smoothing because it'll just be a blurry mess

@light bay Walmart doesn't have 1080p tvs anymore I walked by someone talking he's like yea sorry all we have on shelfs is 4k tvs

[light bay]

[jolly inlet]

My local one has 1080p on clearance

In a corner of electronics

[loud sandal]

Okay now I have a question where the heck is the M27Q-X I can't find it anywhere

All I find is m27Q and P

[fiery zephyr]

My local goodwill has 1080 tvs lol

[jolly inlet]

OOS most places except scalped on scamazon

[loud sandal]

Did you just call Amazon that

BLOCKED

[jolly inlet]

The third party market especially is scamazon

[loud sandal]

How much? 👀

[jolly inlet]

First party isn't so bad

$530 used lol

[fiery zephyr]

Ouch 500 dollar monitor

Yea no

Not for me

[jolly inlet]

It's a $400 one new when it's in stock

Before discounts/sales

[loud sandal]

I mean it's tempting

[fiery zephyr]

No kenzie remember

[loud sandal]

No

[loud sandal]

Sad

[jolly inlet]

Reddit seems to think so

[loud sandal]

I mean it does look to good to be true

@jolly inlet I found the perfect deal even $194 shipping fee

I really want this monitor but I don't really wanna pay $700 for it

[quasi pasture]

open-box return m27q for 240

[jolly inlet]

Then wait for it to be in stock again on non-scalped websites

[loud sandal]

Did it just release

[jolly inlet]

Kinda
In like June

[fiery zephyr]

💀

Kenzie do u rlly need 240 hz with your 6600

[loud sandal]

[loud sandal]

[fiery zephyr]

[loud sandal]

7900XTX remember

[fiery zephyr]

Oh ya

[loud sandal]

[fiery zephyr]

Wow surprised your going amd

[loud sandal]

Bruh

[marsh sphinx]

Those will be hard to find on release

[loud sandal]

Have you seen Nvidia cost

[jolly inlet]

No one seems to want Nvidia. The 4080 at least.

[loud sandal]

Plus I like the USB on the back

[fiery zephyr]

I mean dont have to be new gen lolll

[loud sandal]

For VR

[jolly inlet]

I heard some stores ended the launch day of the 4080 with more units than they started with

[loud sandal]

@jolly inlet I mean I'm sure 4080 is not a fire hazard right

It doesn't take much power

[jolly inlet]

We're reasonably sure as long as the 12+4 connector is plugged ALL the way in (it takes a lot of force) then it's fine

[loud sandal]

Sold out

[jolly inlet]

Because scalper bots didn't get the memo

I'm talking in person like microcenter

Globally too at that

[loud sandal]

Oh

[jolly inlet]

Yep if you check wegg they have a buttload of scalped 4080s

$2500

[marsh sphinx]

Your right there’s like a whole bunch of them in stock at my microcenter

Easily 100+

62 to be exact

One source of 3 I've seen https://youtu.be/bzTPeMRxKFs

[flat junco]

PC37X instructions

[cinder kiln]

Whoa

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119546

Deal?

[grand orbit]

Me when i saw nv2 1tb was €60

[grand orbit]

Yeee

Only downside is because it's asus no bios flash

[cinder kiln]

Pretty much

That's what I'm tryna work around on the other list rn

[high radish]

b660 mobo deal us amazing. Amd needs to do that kinda deal on B series mobos as well

[cinder kiln]

@steel wren b660 board in #tech-deals

[loud sandal]

Ahhhhhh

I wanna buy it

[high radish]

Why that logo looks like 💩

[azure pond]

Personally I would take a 6700 for the same price over an a770

[fiery zephyr]

Same

Although a770 does look pretty good

Maybe if they get there things sorted out it will be ok

Ish

[stoic crest]

yo what sapphire making intel gpu?

color finally matches their name lolol

sapphire blue

[high radish]

Lol

[grave delta]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-rog-strix-750g-750w/p/N82E16817320005 You can just truncate the link after the /p/number

And delete the string between the .com and /p if you want - but no reason really

[azure pond]

i was on mobile and couldn't be bothered

im home now so ill fix it lol

[grave delta]

damn, out of stock, was going to grab a few

[dim mesa]

I bought that b660 asus, lol. Now to wait for 12600k(f) to match last prime day or 12100/12400 to dip again. 12100 would later get passed to roommate & need that igpu.

[high radish]

13th gen non k cpus will release at 3th January so maybe 13400 will decent

[azure pond]

it's at 224 rn

[dim mesa]

Yea was 220 prime day & K was only 230 😆. War pig, too bad 13400 is supposedly adl still but might appear at a decent price indeed. Plus I'd need newer bios.

[fair moon]

💀

[quasi pasture]

i want the 2nd one tho

[fair moon]

Activision squeezing some extra cash

[quasi pasture]

😔

[fair moon]

I guess the campaign is still there but mw2022 has completely replaced 2019 multiplayer

Well servers are still up but it has effectively replaced it

[high radish]

I got new cod key with my cpu purchase and played campaign but multiplayer sux

[grand orbit]

I'd take a 6600 over a a770 tbh

[grand orbit]

That's not the new one is it lol?

[fair moon]

Nope, it's the 2019 title

[grand orbit]

Sad

[fair moon]

Mw2 (2022) probably won't get a sale till Christmas
