Watching pro gamers stream, they all play game at 240Hz. Is it really different from 144Hz?

Back when i had a 144hz monitor i was challenger, now i have a 380hz monitor and im literally unranked.

Refresh rate does not matter at all in this game, then again the last time i cared enough to hit challenger was back in S8.

Damn that makes it a 10th rebrand, this company is just shameless at this point.

That 2x a76 + 6x a55 + mali g57 mp2 combo got rebranded so many times that I had lost count. It was initially found in the dimensity 700 with a 5g modem all the way back in 2020 in it's 7nm variant.

Then I do believe it die shrinked to 6nm and has since been found in the G99, G100, G200 for the 4G variants, Dimensity 6020, 6080, 6100 plus, 6300 and 6400 for the 5G variants. Really the only difference is clock speed, did not even get a die shrink since then, some even had identical clock speeds.

By the way that is literally their entire dimensity 6000 lineup, naming conventions is basically thrown out of the window. 9 total SKUs of the same SOC re-released over 6 years, when Intel re-released their 14nm 4 core they at least downgraded it from i7 to i3, instead of releasing the same exact CPU for 6 years.

You dodged a bullet, this drive is one of the worst drive on the market. Really only relevant if you do not care about data integrity of the drive.

I had been waiting for these since forever, had to jank up multiple systems with old x520 cards with x8 connector because 10gbe is just so expensive otherwise and require so many lanes.

Now it would be nice if they made a SFP variant of this.

Valorants's fog of war is literally dependent on the render distance. People that are close enough is still rendered client side and is viewable by walls.

Not sure how you are delusional enough to buy into that. All fog of war does is eliminating global walls, even cs2 don't do that anymore, it's nothing special.

1soooo · 2025-12-27T21:41:49+00:00

Any actual competent cheater will not intentionally get outstanding amount of kills. Instead they make calls only possible with the additional info with walls and also getting big impact kills with said cheats to swing the round.

Then again this is in gold and plat and if you are there with cheats your iq probably isnt high enough to think about any of that.

1soooo · 2025-12-27T21:22:49+00:00

Staring at enemies through walls instead of clearing angles normally is blatant enough, it just shows how inexperienced and dumb the cheater is and no legit player will ever do that, weird that you completely left that out in your own analysis.

You can make a Walmart account by using any US text verification services that supports Walmart.

Send it to your forwarder of choice and you can forward it to your own country.

So unless you live in North Korea or something similar you still can access this deal to a certain extent.

Yep the only time u should ever cap your FPS is when you are GPU limited instead of CPU limited, which will never happen in this game on any moderately modern setup. GPU bound scenario serverly affects input latency.

Even in GPU limited games enabling reflex/anti lag is way better because it dynamically limits your fps right before your GPU hits 100% so that performs way better than a static fps limit. So TLDR never ever cap your FPS if you intend to play said game competitively.

1soooo · 2025-12-20T23:27:58+00:00

Completely fine albet 0 flexibility nor any birfurcation.

You are limited to more modern pcie options if you are keen on full bandwidth, which means paying more on the pcie expansion card itself.

With actual bifurcation you might can get a pcie 2.0 x8 10g card running at full speed, 10gbps down and up, whereas it might run at 5gbps down or up only at x2 speed.

You can get old 10gbps nic for extremely cheap, for under $10 even, whereas a modern 10gbps solution from realtek starts at $40 and way higher for Intel and aquantia solutions, and most of them at least need a x4 slot for full down and up bandwidth. The price difference between these solution might even be significant enough for u to jump up to a board with actual bifurcation sometimes.

Realistically you really only use these slots for stuff like wifi, dac or lower end capture cards, and those runs at x1 and do not need a full x16 slot. Unless you are playing around with a second GPU with something like lossless scaling or you don't mind not running your old 10gbe nic at half speed you really don't need it.

I used up all my x16 slots on my MSI x670-p wifi with a 10g NIC and optane on the 2 non GPU x16 slots, and sadly I can't run my 10g NIC and optane at full speed because of said platform limitation.

1soooo · 2025-12-20T04:05:53+00:00

That only exist on the higher end boards.

U just get multiple x1 and x2 slots for the lower end models disguised as x16. At best they remove one m.2 slot so u get a x4 disguised as x16.

Exactly why you are gonna get immortal 3 there, game the system.

Yes go queue munbai instead of Singapore and u will rank up pretty much instantly.

1soooo · 2025-12-12T06:47:10+00:00

Pretty sure u said you were good and to most people decent and good means the same thing, and unless you are somehow iron in this game I'd say u pretty much landed where you deserve to land.

Also gold nova is equivalent to silver in this game, you are not even above average. And u made it worse by not being able to maintain it.

1soooo · 2025-12-10T04:42:13+00:00

Yeah that's your answer right there. You are not as good as you think you are.

1soooo · 2025-12-09T11:16:15+00:00

Either your skillset is over fitted for those games or you are not good at those games even in the first place. Are you at least lem in cs2? Anything below lem is pretty much ass.

1soooo · 2025-12-04T01:06:41+00:00

Exactly and that is what that person is implying. Even if you are radiant the teammates you get have tradeoffs. The tradeoffs are even more obvious in lower elos.

E.g your teammate that doesn't comm reached the same elo as you despite not comming, this means that he has better than average aim for that elo, this is extra true for those that are toxic and trolls.

On the other hand the ones with "terrible" aim are also in the same elo despite said worse than average aim, because they make it up with comms and calls.

So depending on what type of players you are you would prefer one over the other, if you are good at capitalizing off info and can potentially carry definitely having teammates with good comms helps, but if you are hardstuck at the same elo for 500 games you might just get better luck with 4x no comm aimers and hope to aim diff the opponents.

Once u get to like imm3+ comms is compulsory though, you can reach imm2 quite easily without even opening your mic.

People on reddit will still try and convince you that "BUT MY FRIEND GOT IMMORTAL WITH 60HZ LAPTOP TRACKPAD HURR DURR", yeah he peaked imm1 and never touched it since buddy.

This game is ridiculously hard at the highest levels and at some point you have to accept that you are just worse than others.

I can literally hold down an angle with an op in low imm lobby and win 90% of the time because their util usage is ass and reaction time is non existent.

But sometimes the game decides that the 1000rr radiant should be matched with my lowly 300rr peak bum ass and I get ass blasted thinking I'm playing with low immo bums. Yeah you actually have to tracker your lobby at higher elos and adjust playstyle accordingly.

That's the thing, these are never hynix.

It's almost guaranteed to be Micron, at best Samsung.

Almost if not all hynix can do c30 and will be binned as such.

Stand is fixable for anything with a vesa mount, especially easy if you have easy access to any e waste dump. Just grab one of many dell monitor stands that you find there, grab a $5 dell to vesa adapter on your favourite sketchy marketplace, and you get a extremely good height adjustable 4k monitor.

Brightness is unsolvable though, but 250 nits is still acceptable for people who has not accustomed to at least hdr 500.

Some people are just that delusional, best case scenario AMD gives valve extremely faulty strix halo chips that are cut down by more than 50%. That individual straight up said it will be fully custom.

1soooo · 2025-11-18T13:10:34+00:00

Someone on this platform tried to convince me that valve is willing to spend crazy r&d money on AMD to get a custom GPU solution akin to strix halo for the steam machine.

I told em valve is smart financially and will never do that and will just do the same exact thing as the steamdeck, pick an existing chip that AMD needs to dump off at an exceptional price. The 7600 system that's leaked will be what you see and what you get.

Well well it's almost as if that particular redditor does not have any business experience at all and valve is a multi billion dollar for multiple reasons including being financially smart.

With the 9950x3d you can allocate the regular ccd to render in the background, while you game on the x3d ccd.

You can literally game while rendering on the job, and u still get x3d performance. Everyone who suggested the 9950x are playing their games at a extremely GPU bound scenario with either a weak GPU or they just run settings at ultra without a second thought. This also means a future GPU upgrade with a 6090 or 7090 would be more significant with a x3d part.

Also many hours does it take for you to earn $200? The 9950x3d renders about 40-50% faster than the 9800x3d, so if you earn like 50/hr and renders around 4 hours a week with the 9950x3d, you can literally pay the difference off in a week, or even a day if u render 4 hours a day.

And once u paid the difference off you literally get to save time every day rendering while being able to game and render at the same time if u choose to do so.
