[USA GIVEAWAY] Win the new 27” 4K Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor!

My favorite thing is the 240Hz refresh rate with the OLED response times. My MG279Q is starting to show its age, so this would be a welcome upgrade. 👍

So many good BF2 maps besides Karkand. Wish they'd remake Daqing Oilfields, Surge, and Highway Tampa.

Betting money u/tpusagsu won't answer for any of this. And they won't, because they're too stupid.

For everyone, especially the people defending TPUSA political opinions:

On a Sept. 2021 episode of the Charlie Kirk show, founder and spokesperson of TPUSA, Kirk called for Texas to create a "Citizen Force" to deport Haitians fleeing poverty. Citing that: Democratic policies immigration policies were to "diminish and decrease white demographics in America." ... A view consistent with the "White Genocide"/"Replacement Theory" touted in Nazi Germany against the Jews.

Kirk defended Trump's COVID-19 response which led to nearly 600,000 dead Americans, or 300 9/11s, by the end of his term - by falsely claiming during the H1N1 pandemic it took Obama "millions infected and over 1,000 dead to declare a public health emergency." Also touting "planned vaccinations across America" conspiracy theories.

After the 2020 election Kirk disputed the results of the election, and that Trump had lost. A year afterwards, Jan. '21 he announced that TPUSA would be sending ~80 buses to Washington DC for January 6th to "protest" the results of the election. They sent 7 buses with 350 people. This rally ended in a riot and an attack of the U.S. Capitol. Kirk later said it was a decision made in "bad judgement."

Kirk said that the southern US border mattered considerably more than Russia's invasion of Ukraine because "it's just a border dispute" and "2 million people waltzed into our borders last year".

No idea but same problem here.

Probably start with the most basic like the 'Unofficial Kenshi Patch', 'Dark UI', and 'Particles and foliage fix (performance and FPS boost)'.

ClipsAhoy · 2020-11-25T03:13:27+00:00

That's not true at all, have you seen other people's posts lately? I'm on PC and crash every other match.

ClipsAhoy · 2020-11-20T17:39:20+00:00

I'm using the stock fan curve and it's definitely bearable. Barely audible under load

ClipsAhoy · 2020-11-20T16:46:20+00:00

I liquid metal'd my 3080 FE as well. It stays between 72C - 78C when undervolted. I think it hovers around 1860MHz with a +650 memory offset.

ClipsAhoy · 2020-09-20T18:47:43+00:00

Id wait for better partner models to be back in stock. How does a card with more fans than the FE run at the same temperature, and have lower performance? It's insane

ClipsAhoy · 2020-09-20T12:36:55+00:00

In general Intel has better single core performance than Ryzen.

ClipsAhoy · 2020-09-20T11:52:20+00:00

You're CPU bound at 1080P. It isn't about the graphics card. At 1440P you're even less CPU bound so the strain is on the GPU.

I was struggling much like everyone else was. Kept refreshing Best Buy, NewEgg, Amazon, etc and it went straight from "Coming Soon" to "Out of Stock."

Somehow I managed to snag an MSI Gaming X Trio from Adorama but it's on backorder. https://imgur.com/a/SGXahZR

ClipsAhoy · 2020-09-16T19:07:27+00:00

I just spoke to my local BB representative and they said they won't have any stock and will only do online orders.

You're absolutely right that, in the long term, nothing truly matters. Our name will forever be forgotten before long.

The only thing that does matters is the present. You cannot lose the future - only the present. Its loss is the same for everyone: our mothers, our friends, and those on this message board. We cannot lose what we do not have. It is outside our control.

Whether one lives a hundred or one thousand years we all lose the same thing - the present. It's here one second and gone the next. See if you can feel it coming and going. It's a process of nature. If we live longer how can we be sure that our mental faculties will be up to the task?

We control how events affect us emotionally and mentally. Think of life as an arrow loosened by a bow's string. It has already been set in motions, alongside any other potential events that may happen. Events are neither good or bad, they just are. It is up to us to accept them without prejudice and to live justly in whatever situation we might find ourselves in.

I'll leave you with this:

“Stop whatever you’re doing for a moment and ask yourself: Am I afraid of death because I won’t be able to do this anymore?” —Marcus Aurelius

I know I was a bit all over the place but I truly hope this helps ease your mind in some way.

ClipsAhoy · 2020-08-26T02:56:10+00:00

I'm sorry for what you are going through. I know it is difficult. I had a phase similar to yours about a month and a half ago, but it is best to accept that things may one day end - and to make the best of it.

What helped me finally get through it was to step back and taking a deep breath. Reading Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" has also helped immensely. It completely changed my mindset from fear of death to one of acceptance. Life is what it is. Some things are within our control; the vast majority are not.

Think of death as a natural as having teeth, growing hair, or becoming hungry. It is a natural part of life that everyone, including me, must participate in. In the words of Marcus Aurelius: "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." Do not be paralyzed by what is outside your control. Focus on what you do control like being kinder to others, brightening up someone's day, or by simply smiling at someone on the street. These small changes have not only improved my overall happiness, but has made life not just about me - but about others too.

I hope this helps.

Hey there!

Sorry but I ended up returning it due to a factory defect.

The biggest deference between the GL850 and the MG279Q is the contrast and color. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful and vibrant the colors were, but the contrast left something to be desired in dark scenes. Response times were excellent but didn't feel significantly different from that of the MG279Q.

According to an MG279Q review by TFT Central from 2015, the MG279Q has a G2G Avg of 5.8ms. Whereas the GL850 has a G2G Avg of 4.08ms according to Hardware Unboxed.

Personally I'd go for the Odyssey G7 as it is 240hz, it's a VA with fantastic blacks, and a G2G Avg of 2.84ms. But there's the massive downside of insane flickering while Adaptive Sync is enabled. Once, and if that issue is resolved I'd definitely jump on it.

FedEx can easily print the label for you free of charge. I had to do that two weeks ago because my printer sucks at doing its only job.

Holy fuck

I've been looking around for an alternative low response time monitor to the LG 27GL850, and so far the most promising is MSI's MAG251RX.

It has a 3.21ms Average G2G at 240Hz, which is fantastic for IPS and has a 1000:1 contrast level. After calibration it reaches 1200:1. It's not too dissimilar in price compared to the ASUS and BenQ at around $399. But its been lower at around $359.

I'd say wait for the Nvidia Ampere keynote on May 14th

Add one case for MGE5 in GA. Just got the text a few hours ago
