I'm clearly misunderstanding something here. I am replacing an old Corsair headset (single 3.5mm jack) that I had connected to the computer via a USB dongle (DAC?). It worked fine, allowing me both sound and microphone functionality. Problem is I just picked up a pair of PC38x cans and they...

I picked up one of the new shift PSUs inadvertently and like it. Now I need an enclosure for it. I'm not into water cooling or AIOs, so I'm looking for a box with good airflow and enough space to run cables behind the MOBO and modern GPU with bay slots. I know the Corsair models that will...

Hey fellers -- thanks for the fast replies. I like the idea of using the monitor as a powered USB hub. I'm not using RGB - but that was a good idea. I found an old keyboard in the closet - and no issues since. Talking with a few other people, the guess now is that something (somehow) came...

This is a weird one. After about an hour of use, when I use the keyboard (games, typing, anything) I get the USB disconnect / connect sound. Random key press. In game it acts like the last key pressed is continuously pressed - meaning (usually) a strafe or other action I can't get out of...

Proving time cures all ills - I got the phone charged and reset. Seeing as answered, if anyone wants to - feel free to lock or delete thread.

The answer may be painfully obvious to someone who has played in this space, but I've never tampered with a phone. We inherited a phone from my father (who thought it would be fun to play with unlocking/rooting) to replace a phone that decided to become a part of a river bed. It's a Moto and...

Article is about a Reuters article that is paywalled for me, but this link explains it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/acer-said-it-halted-business-in-russia-but-kept-selling-monitors-reportedly-pcs/ (Quotes above rearranged for brevity) Link to the original Reuters article...

I've had this thing for a while and the manual is gone... but before I go hunting for what it won't tell me; is this behavior an indication that it's basically end-of-life? If so - what is a good replacement - something fairly easy for a duffer to use / has good software? Recommendations?

Look at STALKER2 - the buildings look almost the same; like they're sharing elements from one studio to the other.

I've read that it helps, some... but I've also seen a lot of recent vids of people getting shot by folks who never render.

I ran it fine with a 970. It's not the spec so much as the waiting and desync - neither of which any hardware you can buy will fix. You want at least 16gb RAM. Otherwise; it's playable on low spec machines b/c Russian. Higher spec handles the graphics better... but again, its not the graphics...

I'm kinda wondering if there is anything a player can do on their end when they know/suspect that the game was written originally with IPv4 as the standard. (That's local in the country where the game was developed - but the client/player (and server?) is in a place where IPv6 is the norm)...

Ran into a new one for me; people complaining that their game is experiencing desync and lag due to the developer's use of IPV4 netcode when many players are in regions where IPV6 is the standard. I've never heard of this as a problem - but it's talked about on several other (gaming) forums...

It's interesting to see Dan's response. I remember talking about DPI and 4k utility with him back before I bought my Gigabyte Aorus FI32U. For simi: Back before the upgrade, I was running a 24 inch 16:10 (1920x1200) monitor that I sat about arms length from (over 30 inches; I'm tall). My main...

What resolution are you gaming at? 4k?

Thanks - will have to look into that and ask him. I'd be interested to see what kind of optimizations the dev team did to improve performance. (Back when the game came out and he bought his rig... I was surprised at how 'marginal' it seemed from a framerate perspective... but MSFS seemed to do...

I'm not overly familiar with MSFS and the details of it's performance metrics (GPU/CPU bound?). I do know that some people are saying that DLSS3 is helping, which makes the 4k series cards look good. Anyone really into MSFS that can comment? I'm advising a friend who's really into the game...

How about when you are home? Do you find yourself defaulting to this as your tablet because you're already carrying it - or do you end up hunting for the last place you set the tablet down b/c it's just better (for whatever use in that moment)? (And thanks for the very fast and thorough answer!)

Thinking about getting one: can you type up a short review (just real world user experience, likes & dislikes, how bulky, case, etc)? I'd be upgrading from a Galaxy S9+ which has been a great phone, but I'm thinking about either a Z 4 or getting a tablet to have a bigger screen for...

Won't lie: I've had this game off since Feb. Really wish these guys came from somewhere else - because its a great game... but for now? Nope.

Now that you guys have had these for a while, what are your thoughts? Some specific questions: Do you use a case, and if so - how bulky is the phone? (Male user, pocket portability?) Do you have a case you like / don't recommend? What's the biggest annoyance? If you have a stylus - do you...

How many years have I been on this board without knowing 'smileys' existed on the reply bar? :rolleyes:

Axman wow. 8o

Dan's suggestion is perhaps timely: in the RTX 4xxx / RX 7xxx speculation thread, there are rumors that there is an oversupply situation with AIBs, and with the Crypto crash folks are dumping high end cards that only mined for about a month... If you want to believe MooresLawIsDead - they're...

I'm running 4k on a 3070 - and depending on what you're doing with it... it's fine (for now). You do have to fiddle with settings. However I play Tarkov (okay, I used to before), Squad, and others with playable frames. Not fabulous, mind you, but generally better than 60fps. For things like...

Looking at the price point of a sub-$400 card, is the performance increase worth the vig of upgrading to a 6600xt from an RX 570? (My son's machine). He's getting junk frames playing 1080p in some titles. I'm half tempted to try to talk him out of this and to wait for X-Mas to try to get him...

Wow - thanks for the responses; more to think about than I expected. I suspect the easy route would be something Raspberry Pi based... but I could be wrong.

Looked around and this seemed like the proper subforum... I'm looking for a decent brand of entry-level robotics kit that I can do with my kid for her 6th grade science project. (Her choice - but she picked out a $500 kit...) I have no experience with these things. I can confidently lego the...

https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/gigabyte-aorus-fi32u TFT review out of lock down

32 is fantastic. Looks natural on the desk - and after a while, all the others look small

If so... Yuck. FI32U is a good production monitor - text is super crisp. M32U just going for the gamer segment?

Having the UQnotX about to hit the street is pretty damn good. Frankly - I'll be watching for the difference between it and the Viewsonic as they were the panels I was most interested in, originally. Then the Gigabyte showed up and was pretty darn good. I just lost patience with VS and...

Then you have not been listening to those of us who have it. Unless you are one of the folks who have a specific use-case requiring it to display three simultaneous images - one each from your Xbox and PS along with two CPUs on one pc feeding the third, in a seemlessly borderless configuration...

I've not noticed anything. Not that there is none - but it's literally not a thing I've noticed - even while playing in a darkened room.

Yup. Just a bias surfacing. Disregard Actually - now that I think about it... Don't. We get lots of lurkers here (and I've been advising my son & his friends lately, and until recently I forgot how many people just don't get this stuff).

So.... As someone who has a bit of experience with the Russian Modding Community, allow me to make two observations: Many Russian modders are fantastic at what they do - their mods are among the best you can find. Some Russian modders also include code that allows you to pay for the mod by...

I'm certainly enjoying mine. Minor glare noticed in the first couple of days - but I hardly see it any more (still there, but instead of looking for problems I'm just using the monitor and don't notice it) cybereality Agree - colors look great

It made a huge (okay, noticeable) difference for me. Running 3070 with a 2700x was doable - but I was RAM limited to 2133 (I tried pushing it higher - which made a difference - but after a while the system was unstable and reverted). With the 5600x I'm at 3200 (IIRC). I'm getting very...

Keep an eye out for the notX

From the RTNGS report: 'it has slightly higher than usual input lag, especially when gaming at 60Hz' ... Who buys a 144hz monitor to game at 60hz?
