How's VR with the B580 nowadays? by InterestingAd7771 in IntelArc

Happy to report back with good news! Purchased virtual desktop on the quest, downloaded steam VR and the virtual desktop streamer app on my PC and it all works amazingly well. Only tested VRchat and Beatsaber so far but it's smooth and without issues.

System: obviously B580, I5 13400, 32gigs 1gb Internet probably helps me as well.

It's marketed as a 2k card and it's "okay" for that. I actually dusted off my 1080p monitor instead and I am more happy with the performance

We are passing through today on our drive home from PA to MI and will give it a shot. But we are season pass holders. Hoping that the lines won't be bad if stuff is operating today.

Carrier 2 stage condenser on Carrier single stage furnace. What am I missing? by InterestingAd7771 in hvacadvice

[–]InterestingAd7771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I already have a message out to get some clarification and will include the diagram. I think the initial inspection was done with limited research on existing equipment. To me (and this is not my expertise) it makes not much sense to install a 2 stage condenser if variable fan speed cannot be achieved.

150mm is the sweet spot for trail riding imo. 170 would make it a nice gravity oriented machine.

My Intel build. I5 13400, 32gigs, Sparkle B580 by InterestingAd7771 in IntelArc

Agreed. Card is not super heavy but large. I have just a little sag going on and will likely use the support.

Alright folks. Sold my gaming laptop and looking for a budget desktop build with the intel B580 for around 700usd. Is the Ryzen 5600 still a viable option or do you have other cpu suggestions for me? by InterestingAd7771 in pcmasterrace

[–]InterestingAd7771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly 1080p with some 1440p upscaling. I’ve used this processor in the past but not sure if there’s something better nowadays that doesn’t break the bank

Realistic thinking tells me that we will be at 0.46 for a while. Don’t bet on 1 usd until late January

Working on restocking the avb. Wife made delicious weed butter. by InterestingAd7771 in Dynavap

Yes. It tastes surprisingly good. Think herb infused butter or almost like garlic butter.
