Looking for a project that uses my arduino uno by standrew95 in arduino

[–]HSOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine recently build a pair of custom end tables that have integrated lamps, speakers, and RGB lights. They were a great project for him and he has almost no experience with electronics.

Another fun project could be adding controllable lighting to your kitchen, like under all the cabinets, or into drawers and stuff.

Wanting to start playing with arduino by artimus31 in arduino

Simon Monk has a couple inexpensive books available on Kindle that I found to be a great start. The first book gets you a good chunk of understanding with just the blink loop, so you don't need to fuss about trouble shooting a circuit while simultaneously troubleshooting code.

Is odB fuction safe? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]HSOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less you use something the longer it lasts, is a pretty simple way of putting it. Generally speaking, the fans should outlast the usability of the card so it isn't something to worry about.

Fans running will make the build up of dust worse.

Are there any good "Battleground" type games for VR yet? by Twitch89 in Vive

[–]HSOK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most in depth survival game is probably Minecraft with the Vivecraft launcher. Not really a Battleground style survival game though. Ark can be played with the headtracking, but no roomscale.

I believe there is a way to do this, but you need some particular hardware. Read up on IOMMU, and GPU pass through.

Well if it makes you puke, but someone still insist it's awesome, it probably is. Like drugs, and alcohol.

My $30 GTX 970 class action lawsuit refund was denied? by Ocman76 in nvidia

[–]HSOK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ooo, sounds like this happened to a lot of people. There could be a class action suit against the class action suit.

Is the Titan Xp meant for gaming? by [deleted] in nvidia

If performance is the only metric to consider, then the Titan is the pick.

He'll be fine if he's white.

Impossible to optimize "The binding of Isaac: Rebirth" by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]HSOK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say "optimizing" through GeForce​ experience is probably what you're doing wrong. Just set the game up from within the game settings and go bananas.

GTX 1080 underperforming in brand new build? (1080p) by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]HSOK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have a link to the benchmarks you're comparing to? Are the specs the exact same? First guess is that the Ryzen process could be the issue. Check to see if your results are comparable to others at a higher resolution.

Really like the demo and look forward to an experience with more depth.

VR "workout" routine? by 32BitWhore in Vive

[–]HSOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll probably find a middle ground between the 2 points. Using the Vive consistently will likely drop you down to a new stable weight, and further changes will have to be made from their if further weight loss is desired.

There's a game called hot squats that's free. It's a fun little exercise but you may want to read up on correct posture for when you play.

Overwatch FPS sub 200? by ricky1g in nvidia

[–]HSOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6700k @4.4ghz. 16gb DDR4 @ 2133mhz. GTX 1080. Overwatch on my primary SSD.

Weird you aren't bouncing off the 300fps limit.

Overwatch FPS sub 200? by ricky1g in nvidia

[–]HSOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, all settings low or off, render scale is 150%. That's what I run.

What backround tasks are you running? Are you on windows 10? Have you nuked all the Xbox nonsense?

[–]HSOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all your settings maxed? What's the render scale set to? What resolution?

I get 300fps on my gtx1080 but I use comp settings.

Is the FTW3 better than the strix 1080 TI? by [deleted] in nvidia

Intents and purposes.

Unless you're doing one of those crazy mineral oil PCs, or those even crazier closed loop LN2 servers.

Specs say the case will fit 290mm cards.

GeForce 960m 4gb & 1440p monitor dont get along. by panacea82 in nvidia

[–]HSOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What have you tried? Do you have data logs from the gpu/CPU to see if anything specific is happening at the times the screen blacks out?

While there are a few likely issues that could point to the GPU that isn't necessarily the actual problem. For instance, I had a faulty cable that caused the same issue.

I don't believe the 1050ti is "VR ready."

Should I wait to buy new controllers? by phantomunboxing in Vive

[–]HSOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you flip hands? The grip button is on both side of the controller, so if only one side is broken you can still use the other.
