Well, where dat power goin' ??

[tp4tissue]

Wonder if setting dac sound buffers actually do anything to reduce latency.

[tp4tissue]

Tp4's thinking if the 77 s95f comes down from $3500 to $2500 for BF ?

Thoghts??

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

Stop talking to yourself

[tp4tissue]

There is no assurance that the world outside of Tp4 actually exists.

The Beginning, The Tp4, The End...

The same cycle every "possible" construct goes through.

if tp4 posts a comment and no one reads it, was it ever really posted at all?

Compare to masturbation vs actual intercourse.

Cache, memory timing/control, core balance, etc..
I was thinking it was high but remove the cores and it's mid 20watts, which isn't really that bad for what it's doing.

you're switching from one 77 oled to another right? I'd say its not worth it to buy retail to make this upgrade unless you can sell your current TV for close to the price of the new one.

[tp4tissue]

The s95f has higher peak highlight limit that's why.

For HDR, it's about the same, but for SDR, the limiter makes a big difference.

[tp4tissue]

Finger over buy for AW3225QF 32” 4K 240Hz

$765

/Must resisssst.

It's 4K, it's 240hz, it's qd-oled

The 1 thing, holding Tp4 back, is Display Stream Compression.

-but realistically, are we really going to get that sweet 80gbps display port soonish?

According to the Steam hardware survey, close to 60% of people are still using 16gb of RAM

I only upgraded to 32GB this year.

[tp4tissue]

Tp4 barely uses the 32gb.

That said, Tp4 believes 32 is prudent because it allows you to run at least 2-3 vms without much trouble.

[Leslieann]

I won't say 16 is bad, it's not, but it's pretty much the bare minimum on Windows 11.
Honestly, 24 would probably a perfect number for most people if it was practical, but it's not, so 32 it is. Keep in mind I'm also not saying you need 64, that's pretty much where 32 was a few years ago. It's overkill.

[tp4tissue]

24gb is happening because of lpddr5 soldered ram for AMD APUs.

There are no other packages that makes sense.

32gb on a laptop, in most cases, IS a bit much/ wasted.

[Sniping]

been playing cloverpit for the past few days, pretty fun one if anyone needs a game rec. I think my gaming PC itch has mostly been scratched for now. small chance I swap to 5080 fe and itx down the line while they're still cheap and available but I don't think it'll happen honestly.

[noisyturtle]

I feel like if 24GB RAM had been normalized when DDR3 was around it would have become the standard over 32GB

5070ti having only 12gb on mobile, and 5070 and below with 8gb.

Upsetting. Completely non-viable gpus.

There shouldn't be any gpu below 16gb.

[tp4tissue]

Pantherlake,  pffffffff.  LAME..

This thing isn't remotely competitive,  AMD will kick them in the potato.


Amd has so many levers at this point, Intel needs to really make 1 thing work, stop with all this nonsense, Nvidia partnership, Arc, E-cores.

Nvidia is having problems selling 8gb GPUs and has completely scaled back production of those cards.

GOOD!

They need partnerships to get out of the hole they dug.

[tp4tissue]

They need Chinese people. They don't have enuff Chinese people to catch TSMC.

What they aught to do is, offer all the mid-lvl TSMC guys 5-10Mil a piece to come to Intel.

Then go to Chinese mainland, and do the same, sneak out all their top SMIC guys.  According to reports, the SMIC guys are even stronger engineers than the TSMC guys.



This is a joke, because it's impossible to get them out, they'd get asssinatzed.

my deathadder v3 pro developed a scroll wheel issue that seems somewhat common. found a reddit thread that advised scrolling fast in one direction for a minute, which ended up fixing my mouse. found another deathadder locally for $20 with a similar issue and applied the same fix and it worked. lol

[tp4tissue]

Just resolder a new wheel. they're cheap.

But overall, razer mice are not well designed.

For logitech, at least they have a pretty decent software to detect games and profiles, which is a stand out feature.

For razer, their software is so crap, that it's barely usable, and their tuning isn't any better than the Million other off brand boards that use the same sensor and mcu.

[tp4tissue]

Polly want to archive a few win10 isos before they do something silly.

[tp4tissue]

Easily bes controlr on market. Performance / $$ wise.

[tp4tissue]

240hz 32" oled monitor or 165hz 77" oled tv.

mm.....

240hz 32" oled monitor or 165hz 77" oled tv.

mm.....

77"

[tp4tissue]

It's tough cuz they all perform so differently.

Considering the Samsung 500hz small one too. but, it's just tooooo small. But hades 2 runs at 360fps sooo. hrrrm.

[tp4tissue]

OMG, whaaa. Spectre and Meltdown mitigations drop 4790k by 10% /GASP... that's alottt. Old CPUs already have trouble hanging on.

[tp4tissue]

Wow, 10% is 10%, you can reallllly feel it in high fps games like hades 2.

[tp4tissue]

Ok, so Tp4 has setup this old pc to do 1-thing, play Hades 2,  New win10 install, HAGS turned off.

4790k 4.8ghz, 16gb 2400mhz, 1060 2100mhz 6gb,

Best settings, with spectre and meltdown win10 mitigations turned off.

This thing can sustain 210fps - 360fps(game-cap) @ 2560x1440,  It's cpu-bottlenecked. The 1060 actually has a bit more juice, which is good because then we avoid the gpu 99% utility lag spikes.

1350rpm gpu fan, barely audible, 64C sustained temp, open chassis, 750rpm case fan, 360rpm cpu fan.

ULLM enabled, vsync off, you don't need vsync as long as you're above 200fps, even on 60hz screens, you can barely see the tearing. You can use fast-sync, because it's consistently high enough fps, but it actually feels less smooth than off because of the frame-pacing will be in odd numbers.

1000hz controller wired.

Realllly good experience.
