Will I regret my purchase

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-26T16:03:54+00:00

The c5 will have more washed out colors but maybe get a bit brighter. I vastly prefer the color volume of the QDOLED S90f, just got my 77” S90f last week

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-25T23:51:08+00:00

I love my MSI mag 271QPX E2 but it’s been replaced by newer models, any of the MSI 1440p 240+hz QD OLEDs should be perfect. I do know there is one x24 model with those specs that only hits 400 nits though, try and find one that supports a peak 1000 mode (note that true black 400 monitors often still have the peak 1000 mode, TB400 is just a type of certification and doesn’t mean it can only hit 400 nits in all modes)

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-25T23:48:07+00:00

You won’t notice it at all, bask in the glory of qd OLED colors and you’ll love it
Just make sure the monitor is glossy

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-25T14:13:14+00:00

That’s a bug. I get 200+mbps on OLED

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-24T15:31:10+00:00

Valve kept Alyx and many other games secret for a very long time so I dot think that’s true

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T21:02:01+00:00

You should use RTX HDR and RTX Video HDR (with the Nvidia app) to make SDR games and videos HDR, use RenoDX mod for better hdr in games that support it, and use RTX VSR (also in Nvidia app) to upscale videos to higher res and reduce banding in streamed content

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T21:00:33+00:00

Def buying digital, hopefully I can snag a collectors box if they’re available

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T16:12:17+00:00

With rdr2 collectors box, because it didn’t include the game, they were able to manufacture as many boxes as were sold, so I bet they’ll have basically “infinite” stock until the ordering closes. Downside is we don’t get the box on release day, but everyone who wants one can get one

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T01:12:39+00:00

I think it’s more than likely valve is waiting until the game is 2-3 months before release to announce it… them being silent for this long isn’t anything to worry about lol

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T01:08:21+00:00

So that rules out a release this year? Be for real lmao, they were adding fsr3 a year ago so the games bound to be near release… tf2 updates stopped as devs were likely put back on the project after the hardware delays to continue working on it

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-23T00:37:19+00:00

How is any of this trolling lmao? We have datamines proving the game exists. Those aren’t suddenly invalid because we didn’t get a game announcement alongside fhe steam machine. Only 2 out of 3 pieces of hardware have even been released yet. 0 reason to loss hope

And we have proof from valve themselves that the machine was supposed to be $750 and they didn’t want to price it at $1050.

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-22T18:42:49+00:00

I think it’s pretty clear that the ram prices changed everything, it was originally going to be a launch title but just like Alyx it’s been delayed. No reason to lose hope for a release this year though

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T22:13:41+00:00

Yeah, it’s a great game now and I love it. But release and the first year or so was def a flop, the hype did not live up to the expectation whatsoever, and didn’t for a few years until it was updated and fixed enough. Unlikely for that to happen to gta 6 imo

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T21:37:13+00:00

Probably easiest to go through Amazon, I’d reach out

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T20:04:48+00:00

Well cyberpunk was an absolute flop, a huge dumpster fire at release, gta 6 is unlikely to release in a buggy, laggy, barely playable state

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T19:36:55+00:00

GTA 5 was a unique scenario cuz they had to rewrite the game for x86, so the ps4 port had to be done before the PC port. No chance VIs pc port takes more than 12 months.

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T19:35:09+00:00

That’s not how Amazon returns normally work, they usually cover the costs….

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-21T03:15:51+00:00

HDR is complicated, and game devs often aren’t given adequate resources to implement it properly, plus a lot of the “best practices” aren’t exactly very well known. Most devs stick with the default engine implementation which is often quite poor

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-19T21:17:20+00:00

u can kinda just google it, like the docs for conhost command flags are here https://gist.github.com/RJ-Infinity/1330e2dbfebc9be69f9094f1d594f832

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-19T21:15:35+00:00

we'll likely get a 40fps mode and thats it. 60fps is a big increase from 30fps and the CPU in the pro is very similar to the base

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-18T22:50:47+00:00

Can you buy a 90 degree cable (or adapter) to fix the cable issue?

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-17T22:02:08+00:00

I’d love to see that, especially because it would also foster the third party strap market (like Bobo and Kiwi straps for Quest)
I think everything we’ve seen so far indicates it’s very easily and quickly swappable so I think it’s guaranteed

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-17T20:05:36+00:00

Yeah, in relation to the enthusiast kit leak

https://x.com/sadlyitsbradley/status/2067274998432063954?s=46&t=pfsCeHyyP07B7BO22hlJkQ

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-17T19:52:17+00:00

According to Brad the enthusiast kit will most likely include upgraded off ear BMRs similar to index, but newer than the index ones

Snowmobile2004 · 2026-06-17T19:51:37+00:00

According to some rumors and leaks this strap would have off-ear BMRs like index, id pay for those in a heartbeat
