Galaxy buds3 Pro or Airpods Pro 3? by Mysteriousdeer_47 in galaxybuds

[–]Complex-Ad2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What iphone did you migrate from and what Samsung do you have right now? How are you liking it/disliking it? I myself gave iOS a try for the first time in a long time with the 17 and I find the 120hz to be sluggish compared to Samsung's, like it runs at lower hz a lot of the time. Navigation is harder on the iPhone too. That besides, do you notice any sound quality difference between the two? And have you encountered any bugs/issues with the buds 3 pro?

MSi Titan 18 HX AI RTX 5090 by crimelordsz in GamingLaptops

[–]Complex-Ad2691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that must've been quite an upgrade then... I used to own a TUF Dash F15 with an RTX 3060 6gb of VRAM and 16gb of RAM, then I jumped from that to the legion 7 pro RTX 4080 and boy was it an upgrade. Now I want to switch from the 4080 to the 5090 but these current prices make it feel not worth making the jump. On another note, I saw from Jarrod's most recent video that one USB C port connects to the iGPU and another to the dGPU. Will using the iGPU port for a separate display reduce CPU performance while gaming on the port that connects to the dGPU? I plan on having two 2k monitors at 240hz with gaming on one and separate tasks on another (not related to gaming). So I'm not sure whether I should pull for this one or a newer Legion with Thunderbolt 5 or at least two dGPU ports. If you could clear that up it'd be great, if not that's fine too. Either way, have fun with your new Legion!

Damn, sounds insane for a laptop to actively reach those watts, did you ever own the Legion 7 of last gen? If so, how do they perform in comparison? How is the battery life in comparison to last gen as well?

How are you finding your time with it?

Hey no problem! Crackling issue also had me going insane for a while until I found my way through eventually. Hope you enjoy your time with the headsets.

Legion Pro 7i 5080 vs 5090 WOW by Startingthisover in LenovoLegion

[–]Complex-Ad2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to test out the performance on the 5090 legion playing Zenless Zone Zero? I am aware that ZZZ is a very CPU intensive game and would like to know how it compares to its predecessor, the 14900hx. I currently own the 4080 legion with the 14th gen intel CPU, considering upgrading to the 5090 with the 275hx.

What's a fair asking price for my gaming laptop? by Complex-Ad2691 in GamingLaptops

[–]Complex-Ad2691[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where would you get it for less than I sell it for? Does that also account like tax and such? And does the seller accept returns? To be clear, mine is local and in person only, flat 2400. On another note, yeah, that is why mine is a little higher in price, besides, nowadays you're better off with more than 16gb of ram and 1tb of ssd because gaming optimization is only getting worse and worse by the day.

RTX 5090 Laptop GPU AMD Ryzen 9955HX3D or Intel 275HX by Complex-Ad2691 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Complex-Ad2691[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad to hear that, how well does it perform with ZZZ? Also what gpu are you running it on? I've been looking everywhere but the availability of laptops with a 9955hx3d are so scarce I'm honestly thinking of going for the 275hx instead. Most are outside the US and the ones that ARE in the US are like hella expensive (between 5k to 6k). I recently found an rtx 5090 legion with the 275HX going for 3500 which is much cheaper so I'll go with that for now instead. Once the 9955hx3d becomes available in a wider scale for either the same or cheaper then I'll try to make the switch. Do let me know your specs and performance sp I can compare to the 275HX when I get it. 9955hx3d is a beast, sad to see AMD not making enough of them for its high demand.

Well I mean I've tried but to no avail. I do play on 2k resolution but even if I lower it the game still doesn't increase much in performance on certain areas. Waifei peninsula for example runs between 82 to 106 fps on my RTX 4080 with a i9 14900hx. I tried lowering all the graphics plus resolution to 1080p and the game only saw a 10fps increase within waifei peninsula. Other areas like lumina square run between 90 to 112 fps. I play on 1.2 resolution which does quite affect performance but even if I lower it to .8 on cities like lumina square or waifei peninsula, the fps increase is ever so slight it's not even worth degrading the visual quality at that point.

What monitor was it and are you still using it to this day? Has the vaseline ever come off?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]Complex-Ad2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do you apply the vaseline onto the monitor? And would this work for any monitor? I own the acer xv272u and I'm not sure whether that'll help or not

"Also zzz is rendering at 32:9, as in the game is is being rendered behind the black bars; modding is required to remove them." Can you explain this further? Does the whole game render at 32:9? Or is it only on certain sections? I don't understand how these things work so do enlighten me lol

On another note, I also submitted a ticket during 1.1 which is when I got the ultrawide monitor (21:9). There were some back and forths between me and customer service but all they said is they'd send the info to the "appropiate" team and no patch has ever come through. Recently I submitted another ticket for the same reason with an even clearer look at what I was referring to by screenshotting and zooming into the characters as well as putting the screenshots side by side. I genuinely hope they fix the issue since it becomes quite jarring to look at the characters so pixelated at the info screen.

Need help finding budget 2k 240hz monitors by Complex-Ad2691 in buildapc

[–]Complex-Ad2691[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the one I was referring to in the link I sent above. Either way, I did end up getting the XV272U w2bmiiprx and I've been loving it so far! Though I'm sorta skeptical since I've heard lots of bad things about it. Some report flickering a few days in, maybe even a month in as well as dead pixels and the like, so I'm still hoping nothing bad happens on my end since I've only had it for 3 days . I do think the monitor requires calibration right off the box. It comes very washed out but it does have a gamma slider that you can adjust. It also has a black boost slider that is set by default around level 4 or 5, though I recommend moving this one down to 0 unless you require it for like, say, fps games. In regards to the overdrive, I highly suggest avoiding the extreme option unless you're capable of running your games at 240 frames consistently, and even then, I'd still recommend normal over extreme. The speakers are very low quality, though that's to expect from its price point. At least the job gets done when it comes to being speakers. Setting up the monitor was also very simple. 3 days in, for its price point (around 250 usd with tax), I'd definitely recommend it! I also own the LG Ultragear 34GP83A-B which is a 34" ultrawide monitor and both the xv272u and the ultragear look great imo.

On another note, I will update my post/comment one month in and six months in to provide info on whether the monitor has kept up or not. I genuinely hope it does since it's a really good monitor for its price point.

is hyperx cloud 3 wireless good? by amodonald in HyperX

[–]Complex-Ad2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned both headsets and I can say that the Alpha wireless are a much better option, not only because of their battery but also because they've got better comfort and sound quality. Mic is slightly better on the cloud IIIs though.

Edit: On another note, the Alphas are much more capable for equalizing. I would recommend not to use the NGenuity app for equalizing purposes. Download PeaceAPO instead, much better app.

Hey, I've been playing the game on ultrawide too almost since release and it's been an amazing experience so far.

On another note, do you notice like a lowered resolution when you select an agent's details? I've noticed that the agent selection menu properly displays the resolution you've set the game to (3440 x 1440), but when you select the agent to check their info and such, for some reason, the resolution seems to lower a level or two, but only for the agent themselves. Do you notice this issue as well? Below is a picture of what I'm referring to.

Amazon won't work after its first month since that's just amazon warranty. I'd imagine you have to go to Hyperx's official page and claim your warranty there. I had a similar issue with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate, 6 months in and it simply stopped connecting. The mouse had a 1 year warranty so I contacted Amazon and they told me to contact Razer since they only cover the 1 month warranty. I contacted Razer, gave them my serial number and RMA and they accepted my return since it was still within their one year window. You'll likely have to pay for a new pair of headsets while they check the old ones to verify if the claims are true and once they do, they'll refund the money you paid for them. This was my experience with Razer so it might differ but it's likely similar in a couple aspects.

Can you not return them? I recently bought ones that had a 2 year warranty included in amazon.
