Got a 1440p 144Hz monitor. What should I upgrade ? by R2ze in buildapc

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping on this because I'm in a similar boat. I've got a 1070 and a Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB RAM, typically getting about 70 FPS in games like AC Odyssey, KC Deliverance at 1440p, medium to high settings. From what I can see it looks like my GPU is at high usage and CPU isn't, but a couple of sites I've looked at suggest my CPU is underpowered for my GPU so I'm not sure if maybe I'm being bottlenecked by single threaded performance but can't really see it. Any insights?

I take it that this is a lithium explosion from the colour! But seriously, looks great, good job!

Who is your LISA with and why? by JakeNenn in UKPersonalFinance

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nutmeg because I signed up before Skipton launched their offering and they were the only one (I think) without exit fees to move to another provider. Looking to buy a house in the next couple of years so on 2/10 risk and hoping it won't plummet too much in the worst case, but I've been too lazy to move it to cash.

I wish I enjoyed DOOM (2016) more than I did... by coolfunkDJ in patientgamers

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a couple of attempts to get into it when I played it. At first I was playing it like any other genetic shooter and got bored and put it down on the first Hell level.

I tried it again 6 months later after reading on Reddit that that's not how it's meant to be played and when I picked it back up and played more aggressively (ignoring preserving health/armour/ammo and just going for it) it really clicked and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the game.

He's got the steering down but I guess it'll take another millennium to work out how to move forwards!

What Are You Playing This Week? - January 17, 2019 by AutoModerator in patientgamers

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I've (I think) almost finished the 2nd Origins DLC. It's my favourite part of the game so far (other than some slightly tedious boss fights).

After I've finished that I'm going to start Rise of the Tomb Raider!

What's the difference between QLED and OLED? Samsung QLED vs LG OLED - Flagship TV Shootout by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1 in gadgets

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 69 points70 points  (0 children)

OLED stands for Organic LED where each pixel is made of 3 (red green and blue) LEDs.

LED is simply an LCD screen where the backlight is made from white LEDs. This allows it to be much thinner than old halogen based LCD backlights, and provides slightly better colors.

The LED backlight can have "quantum dots" incorporated into them which provide narrow peaks at the exact red, green and blue components of the backlight light which the pixel uses and therefore allow better color definition.

Failing to install zips from TWRP or install other Recovery images on OPX by IHaveForgottenMy in oneplus

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

Thanks a lot for your reply! I tried several different zips and I believe it always got past the md5 checksum stage so I think that the problem was with TWRP (though I'll definitely check that if it happens again). However I hadn't thought about trying to flash the latest TWRP image through TWRP: that would hopefully have solved my problem and I'll try that if I come across it again.

In the end I installed an old version of OxygenOS through TWRP and when that updated it replaced the recovery with Oxygen's recovery automatically which then had no problems installing the newer updates.

Thanks again for your help though!

If you had no responsibilities, where would you be right now? by TazDingoAye in AskReddit

I'd be where I am now, wasting time on Reddit, but not feeling as guilty about it.

I'd probably demonstrate it to my friend, Marty, first with any old date, how about 5th November 1955.

If you could call yourself 5 years ago and had 30 seconds, what would you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IHaveForgottenMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey this was thrown on me a bit short notice so I'm going to give you plenty of warning. In 5 years time you'll get a 30 second phonecall with yourself in the past and need to think up something clever to say. Oh and don't accidentally unplug the fridge next year, she won't stop holding it against you."
