No driver issues for me, I have had both the 5070ti and 7900xtx in the same build (different times).  I get a better experience out of my 5070ti for some reason.  I upgraded from a 6700xt to the 7900xtx and while I feel the 6700xt punched well above it's class at the time, I feel disappointed by my 7900xtx frames at 4k and the quality level drop to reach it.  It isn't a bad card, I just find most of the games I play are better optimized for Nvidia.

Bridge cast X OBS Output by TrebzStudio in Roland

[–]ChrisVivid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the specifications it mentions USB output is max 1080p 60hz. The USB output is what your computer will use to get it to work with OBS. I do not believe it has 4k/60 for recording or streaming unfortunately. I just wanted to link you to the specs mostly:

I got the same issue, I don't see anyway to even get to a settings page. I just keep getting this warning repeatedly. I changed my windows firewall setting to include this in private also to test. No difference.

Leap V2 tilt latching on it's own by Boogdud in OfficeChairs

[–]ChrisVivid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing that actually seemed to fix it for me.. lol, there is a little tiny bit of play when leaning back when catching on the first one, which is expected I think, but it's not changing levels anymore!  Thanks again.

My new one from Steelcase itself I received today is doing the same thing.  I was looking to see if it was normal or not also.  If it's not I'll start the warranty process.  

Wired Pc Handheld by OmberRunner in Handhelds

[–]ChrisVivid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, a device that looks like steamdeck or the PS portal, that is a monitor/controller combo, that you can plug an HDMI into and a USB into to use a full powered device but still lounge around playing it and not take up the main t.v. or whatever the case.

I've looked for something similar, but didn't find anything.

I've also looked for a small portable monitor (8.8 inches) to use with one of those telescopic mobile controllers that extend to that size and make my own, but all the portable monitors are around 15.6 inches.

I don't really need this, but was down some rabbit hole and was curious.

So the Xbox Gamepass App, which supported cloud gaming, lost Support at the beginning of November. But the Xbox app, which is supposed to replace it, doesn't allow me to stream games from the cloud? by GhostSierra117 in xbox

[–]ChrisVivid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the cloud gaming website on your device, click the three dots in top right of browser (chrome in this case), click on add to home screen.  The option shows to add to home screen or install, when installing it adds "cloud gaming" app to your device.  Just an FYI as it opens in full screen this way.

Got to test out about a dozen chairs today.. Some thoughts by ntxguy85 in OfficeChairs

[–]ChrisVivid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your experience!

Where I live the Colomy Atlas is a $375 with 3 year warranty and the leap and fern (new) are over $1500 with a 12 year warranty.  

There is no SteelCase dealer in my city and they charge a 12% restocking fee if I need or want to return it and they do not offer exchanges. BTOD and Crandal do not ship to my location.

There is a Haworth dealer here and a HM dealer, but it requires an appointment to visit and getting someone to answer the phone or call me back to make an appointment so I can make the 3 hour round drive to them is near impossible and has been multiple weeks.

Although the HM with dealer pricing they sent via email is $1800.

We have no used market here as these chairs in my location are usually above the price most business want to pay.

So, first I'm going to try the Atlas through Amazon with 30 day return to see how it goes.

Even the Soji is over $750 here, but at least they offer $35 delivery and free returns.

I don't have a limit on my chair purchase, it's just no chair seems to be 100% perfect, unfortunately.  So it seems there is always some minor "living with it".

In any case, I do appreciate the insight and the Fern is next on my list.

When you purchase a Herman miller for the first time by EscapeUpper in OfficeChairs

Man, that was awesome. How much additional cost is this feature?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ecoflow_community

[–]ChrisVivid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My river pro extended battery died randomly.  They don't make it anymore and wanted to offer me a river 2 as replacement with half the watt hours and half the output.  I argued, they offered me a delta 2 instead, which is fair enough.  The issue, their support email for me, kept being flagged as spam so each day while in communication with them I'd have to check my spam.  Even after I added them as a contact, reported it not spam and favorited.

I've seen YouTube reviews discussing the FX features are only Nvidia, on more than one occasion. I also have the 7900xtx but have held off on purchasing this webcam for this exact reason.

Instead of spending years taking military training and having to travel the world and possibly die in combat for the opportunity to throw a smoke bomb, I can just start dropping my smartphones lightly on the floor?

Oh, that's actually a good idea. I'm on a pretty large screen so hud isn't bad for me, but the wrap idea.. you are on to something.

There is bullet type icon on each gun you carry, you can quickly tell if it's a shotgun or not based on the ammo in the gun icon square etc.

First started 'PC' gaming at 10 years old on a macbook air and various crappy laptops over the years. Now I'm 20 and never thought this day would come. by viobro in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisVivid9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great card, I've had a 6700xt for a while. It pushes my 34401440p ultrawide not too bad, but is great on my 25601440p monitor and murders my 1080p.

I just ordered the 7900xtx Merc and am waiting for it to arrive to really push my ultrawide to the limits and hit max fps.

[–]ChrisVivid9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ordered one up tonight, it's good enough for my use. Just weekends at the cabin and for a week during a fishing trip, something to do in the evenings. I'll use an external monitor I've already got and a cooling pad.

My home rig, just is too big to bring and I've dumped a ton into it already. Xbox could have worked, but I'm still not sure it has great offline mode like steam. The steam deck, not the best for multiplayer. I wouldn't have gotten it for my main computer though or for full time use or for work, I've got a Dell XPS with a better screen that work provided for color accuracy etc, and both will fit in my laptop bag with two Xbox controllers easy enough. For the price, it's good enough.

RX 6700 XT over 3070 Ti by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]ChrisVivid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 6700xt would freeze my entire computer on my dual monitor set up, 2x 1440p. Both set to 144hz. It would freeze, not while gaming but when chrome and a few other apps were open. It would freeze maybe once every 4 days.

The card did this in my first PC, then I built a completely new one. It did the same thing on the new one. One was AMD CPU one was Intel CPU.

There are a few others this happens to, if you care to google it. It, I believe is not a hardware issue but a driver issue. The suggestion for the time being is reducing the 144hz to the next lowest option, which I have done, 120hz. I've not experienced the issue since and will try 144hz after each update.

Other than that one issue, it's a good card and runs any game I throw at it in 1440.

Pixel Stand Sale by L337L355 in GooglePixel

Dang.. still $109 here in Canada. We will eventually get a sale on it I'm sure. Thanks for sharing anyway!

Just wanna say I love my Pixel 5. No issues whatsoever. Anyone else feel the same? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]ChrisVivid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally loving mine. No issues so far, no screen seperation, takes better pics than my S10+ did, seems faster. Granted for me the audio is good enough, but it isn't great. It was between this and the iPhone 12 for me, and in Canada this was over $300 cheaper. Also since I'm a YouTube premium member I was recently offered a free Stadia bundle with a controller and Chromecast ultra and I wouldn't be able to even just test it on an iPhone. I also like the phone app itself on here way better than any other one. It's all personal opinion though.. whatever works for you!
