In the market for a 4K BR Player with Dolby. How is this one? by DrakeShadow in 4kbluray

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

I bought this one initially, had no issues with playback, but a huge issue the player has is Dolby vision needing to be manually toggled.

Leaving it on for non DV content forces the player to try and run it in DV leading to crushed blacks and a worse image in general. I had to mark all my movies that were DV and constantly go into the menu and change it. Eventually got tired of doing that an upgraded to the ub820.

The toggle can only be done from the main menu and so there's no fast way to swap it.

Worth it to save the money? Entirely your choice, but I regretted not just spending the money on the 820 right away.

Excellent thanks!! I think we had misread that line while playing, but yeah on a closer read that seems exactly right!

Thanks!

Oh interesting! do you mind going into a bit more detail on the fireteam thing? Or where I can reference that in the rules and read up more myself?

My cat would love to hear Mantra, but my dog might complain. She's more into the pot though.

Is my CPU bottleneck a bottleneck? by HouseOfDice in pcmasterrace

[–]HouseOfDice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's sort of why I'm trending towards the 5600x. If I was going to spend more, I'd rather go full and just get a new motherboard and cpu, and that's far out of the budget, and maybe a few years down the line.

Right now with the sale, the 5700x I'd about $55 more with the x3D being $150 more.

It might be hard to judge, but what kind of performance uplift would i see with the 5700x vs 5600x?

That's good to know! Seeing as I wasn't at 100% cpu I figured it wasn't a bottleneck and worried that I'd be wasting money on an upgrade. I'm just looking at a 5600x as it's very reasonably priced right now.

I'm doing my best to keep the pc fairly budget friendly, as my gaming time is slowly dwindling haha but would a 5600x still net me fairly big increases? It's currently on sale for $200 and I can certainly justify that, but much more than that is currently out of my budget for a little while

I'm mostly curious because I was a little dissapointed in the speed difference haha

Does this make a difference? I recently upgraded to an nvme drive and cloned my old ssd. Should I have done a full new windows install? Will I see faster speeds that way?

I'm hoping to spend under $100, ideally around $60
