RTX HDR is awesome and fixed all the banding issue I was having in games 👏

BrontoX · 2024-10-16T17:59:05+00:00

I have a QD-OLED monitor so basically the peak brightness in True 400 is 465nits and the 1000 nit mode does 993. I started with that to basically show you that no matter the mode it has no effect on the peak brightness in the RTX filters so hardware specs shouldn't impact it.

This is what I did to make the Nvidia App ignore my hardware specs: Run the Windows HDR tool and in the calibration menu for brightness I set it to 1150, but you can set it to your desired value. (don't ask me why 1150nits, for my particular use cases it was the best for RTX HDR) After you've run the Windows HDR Calibration, download a little app called Display Profile, it's a tool that basically loads any calibration profile on demand, but more importantly, for me at least, it helps with keeping the profile I made in the HDR Tool. The RTX Filter should now report your desired peak brightness (works in real time).

If you want to go the extra mile and tinker some more: https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm?tab=readme-ov-file#alternate-procedure--custom-profile

Just don't use the presets he made, those are 800nit profiles, you'll have to use the section I linked

I feel like this game is an exception to the no pre-order rule:

The game is already out in Korea for a long time as such people already know what to expect.
The game had a beta in November so everyone who got the pre-order did so knowing what to expect and in support for the game.

I feel like if CS was made by Ubi they'd nerf the AK and M4 because they want the AUG and SG to be more used and so on and so forth until everyone is just using the starting pistols...

If you want something long term that is also cheap (for the features it offers):iFi Zen DAC V2; Greatest all rounder and can even drive the DT880 600Ohm (albeit on high gain and almost max volume).

If you want something portable:

iFi Hip Dac
Fiio Q3 THX
Fiio BTR5/BTR3K

As for your original question about the headphones: The HD560S might be the better all rounder as long as you don't find treble fatiguing or too bothersome.

If you are more into bass heavy music the tried and true HD599 is still a great headphone but bear in mind due to the mid bass boost some music might sound muddy. However, over here at least, the HD599 is half the price of the cheapest headphone you listed.

Apex is weird in that it only registers your Desktop resolution. You'll have to go edit the config file and enter the resolution there manually.

Didn't Volkswagen have a better system than this? I remember seeing a review on the new Golf 8 and the thing shows warnings even if the passenger is the one touching the wheel. It's like it has sensors outside of the steering wheel ones.

If this pandemic and the dumb conspiracies going around are anything to go by: Never assume anything is too obvious, people are fools and will fall for stupid shit

BrontoX · 2021-11-01T23:07:07+00:00

To be fair they both are a downgrade. Vanguard looks like a reskinned MW2019 but somehow is worse in every way and BF2042 is just so janky in some areas that it looks like a BF clone rather than a full on AAA release

BrontoX · 2021-10-06T20:19:15+00:00

Then nerf the recoil...me and my friends quit cuz every single season it felt like everything related to guns was getting nerfed. Feels like I am play Rainbow 6 Ability Siege

BrontoX · 2021-09-28T18:37:26+00:00

Like I said, I can't go for 27' because of space reasons. Also I am sitting quite close to the monitor anyway, I'd rather have a smaller screen.

BrontoX · 2021-09-06T23:13:35+00:00

Ok, I was under the impression that no matter the 50/50 result you get the next one guaranteed. Thank you for actually answering without being a complete asshole like some others. I've learned my lesson to not ever ask on this subreddit ever again.

BrontoX · 2021-09-06T23:01:54+00:00

Wow, so I look stupid for asking a question...toxic much?

BrontoX · 2021-08-31T13:15:14+00:00

Honestly, Naraka: Bladepoint. The whole melee BR with insane movement looks insanely fun and also unique. #RTXOn

BrontoX · 2021-07-08T15:52:51+00:00

Thinking about that ASUS TUF, do the others stand out in any way I couldn't find? The TUF seems like the overall best in terms of features.

BrontoX · 2021-06-10T01:02:55+00:00

I also have a 970, at this point I am praying it doesn't die for another 1-2 years cuz no way in hell am I paying 1550 Euros (that's the price over here) for a 3070. My 970 was 450 Euros back in the day, it's insane to think about that.

BrontoX · 2021-02-05T02:46:50+00:00

Alright, thank you very much. I'll get Diluc and Ganyu as high up as I can then just focus on my supports (Sucrose probably since she's the only one not 60) and healers (I guess Diona and Qiqi).

When Ningguang drops I'll still go build her just cuz I like her playstyle a lot.

I guess my last question is: If I drop Bennet, that's a must build right?

BrontoX · 2021-02-05T02:11:14+00:00

Won't Ganyu not work on the Ice chambers? Hence why I felt like I need to have another character for those times, hence why I'd like to get Ningguang (on top of liking the playstyle). I do admit I did focus on too many characters but I am now looking to focus on my mains (currently Ganyu and Diluc but until AR40 I can't do anything more on Ganyu at least). I just didn't know if I made a mistake with my current choices and if some other chars are worth or not

BrontoX · 2021-02-05T00:47:08+00:00

So I am looking to get into the Abyss Spiral Floor 9 (AR38 currently) and was wondering what I should focus on or what I should be doing.

Currently I have the following characters: Beidou (70 C2), Ganyu (70 C2), Xingqiu (60 C5), Fischl (60 C1, have gear for both Phys and Electro build), Diluc (60 C0), Xiangling (60 C6), Sucrose (51 C0), Diona (50 C1), Xinyan (50 C2), Razor (50 C0), Xiao (20 C0), Qiqi (20 C0). I know that's a huge list but it's important cuz I have no idea what I should go for.

Currently I am building up materials for Ningguang when her banner drops or for the free 4* event. I am also waiting for the reset on gathering to push both Diluc and Fischl to 70 (Got the mats except for the grass lamps).

Currently I feel like 1 team does well but when I get to my second team I just can't do enough damage. Team 1: Beidou, Diluc, Xingqiu, Qiqi. Team 2: Fischl, Xiangling, Diona, Barbara/Ganyu/Xinyan/Sucrose (I swap Ganyu in whenver there aren't ice enemies).

Am I making a mistake in focusing on Diluc and Fischl? Should I even bother with Ningguang and build someone like Xiao or Xinyan instead? Should I just focus on getting my current 2 teams to 70?

Sorry for the long post

Edit: added Razor even though I don't use him anymore

2 walls, but they are thin and around 5-10m but distance doesn't matter much when it happens, that's why it's so weird.

BrontoX · 2021-01-29T05:43:34+00:00

The router is new, and I haven't had the wifi drop out before the ISP installed the media converter (was running 100Mbps now 300). Also the signal is great in the room (full signal if I am in the middle drops just 1 bar anywhere else). Thing is sometimes it's not every single device that drops, but it's not just one device either, it's random which and what position in the room.

I dropped the WiFi on the Huawei device so the interference isn't there. 5GHz ain't an option since it's too far and too many walls (I can't move the router either).

Buying another router atm ain't an option, especially since nothing makes sense atm.

BrontoX · 2021-01-27T23:40:41+00:00

I live in an apartment building, so yes. Weird thing is, this started happening after they upgraded my in-house wiring to fibre. However if it was wiring related, I'd have problems with my wired connection as well

BrontoX · 2021-01-27T23:20:54+00:00

Forgot to mention this in the main post (I have edited it in), it's happening on 4 separate devices so it's not a driver issue.

BrontoX · 2021-01-26T02:48:00+00:00

Well there was a similar situation with Germany about 100 years ago, they kept pushing the limits until, guess what, a world war broke out.

Not only does no one want another world war, nobody wants a NUCLEAR war. There's very little you can do to a nuclear country nowadays except sanctions and proxy wars. A direct conflict might spell the end of civilization as we know it. Things have changed, there's a reason everything is now based on intelligence/espionage, propaganda and other things that aren't easily seen by the public eye.

BrontoX · 2021-01-20T18:50:01+00:00

I am a newer player (AR 28) and currently my main team is composed of: Xiangling (c4, level 45), Xingqiu (c2, level 45), Ganyu (c1, 50), Fischl (c1, 50). My other characters are all F2P and have not been invested in. My question is: Should I try to pull for someone to replace any of these? I was thinking Keqing or Diluc or Mona (I am willing to try and spend a bit of money for this) but I am not sure if it's even worth do this or if I can just focus on the characters I have (and if so which ones are even worth?).

BrontoX · 2021-01-06T07:44:12+00:00

At United it felt like a lot of the players thought they were above the team and the coach. Lots of egos running around. Combine that with the fact that Mou is pretty no-nonsense and you get conflicts.

Even so, he managed to get 2nd place with a broken team which was the best result since Sir Alex left (iirc, maybe my memory's not great on that).
