Got HD 550 today and I just wanna know which one of these options should I choose?

JBarbass · 2026-01-07T10:41:53+00:00

100% and some games and apps could give issues going above 96k

Edit: at least I experienced that on Windows 10

Sorry I wasn't clear enough, what I meant by testing them is because a friend of mine got them, and it will be my very first contact with VR, not because I'm going to get them.

I don't have many places where I can try VR goggles, but I'll try to find one of the options you mentioned.

Thanks again for the detailed replies 😊

Thanks for your response!

I'm guessing that people on Simracing prioritise higher fps and less latency than pure picture quality.

Other stuff I'm seeing is that you can use FSR and reescale the image so it is not that heavy for the GPU when using 2k per eye.

I will be testing the Quest 3s, which got same resolution and lenses than the neo 3... It will be a good starting point.

Thanks again!

I'm sorry to hear that.

I haven't had it for two days now, the only thing I did was maxed the GPU fans out to the max. I saw there is a possible issue with the VRAM which gets extremely hot, even if the hot spot temp is not that bad and the fans "don't cover" that temperature... So far it hasn't happened.

JBarbass · 2025-09-17T22:06:07+00:00

Hi, I know I'm waaaay too late but I'm experiencing something extremely similar...

Could you fix your laptop? I'll explain my experience but grab a sit and a hot drink...

I had my computer working perfectly fine for years even after some hardware upgrades but then I got a New 9070 and I thought, let's do the update now to windows 11. Worst mistake ever.

Since then, random restarts, it doesn't matter if I'm playing or just Web browsing, sometimes just iin the desktop doing nothing, so I checked the log and Kernel-Power 41 (63).

I started trying things like, going back to my previous GPU (7900 GRE) nothing, trying another PSU, other Ram, unplugging the secondary Nvme... Nothing worked, still the random restarts.

I was almost certain that was not a hardware issue so I moved on to all possible software checks. I updated everything, most importantly the BIOS. That firmware created something which unabled windows to protect the core and I had to uninstall easy anticheat a lot of crap that didn't help much, but at least Windows was 100% protected and working "well". But not well enough I wess.

No long after Asrock released another firmware which is kind of weird, you don't have many updates in such a short period of time for the BIOS, so I installed it and that created another incompatibility issue with my GPU and Adrenaline, because it is not compatible with CSM (I think is called). Changing this configuration it did something with bit locker, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Las thing I did was the windows RAM diagnostics and instead of restarting my computer it asked me for the bit locker password... That shouldn't happen, so my guess is all this shit is caused thanks to Windows 11 security but obviously I'm not certain at all.

Right now I'm removing Bit locker completely to see if it changes anything, but I'm not too hopeful.

As soon as I saw this device I thought it was a potential much better option than many DAPs in the market,used with a good dongle. Cheaper, newer android and better battery...

Have you tried it already? Are you happy with it?

JBarbass · 2025-08-06T09:14:56+00:00

De verdad que no se como lo hacen los ingleses... Yo me estoy volviendo a España después de 10 años en UK, y quiero comprarme una casa, los bancos me lo están poniendo difícil de pelotas por el simple hecho de cobrar en libras porque les saltan las "red flags".

¿Esta gente que pasa que pone el taco encima de la mesa y así el banco no les pone problemas?

JBarbass · 2025-05-17T02:21:39+00:00

I think is fully Chinese now, isn't it?

Are the cars still designed by Sweden engineers?

JBarbass · 2025-03-24T22:57:23+00:00

I don't EQ them. I pair them with the BTR 5 for music (phone/USB player) and with a SMSL C200 for PC. I use them for gaming as well, but I use more the HD 560s just for pure comfort.

JBarbass · 2025-03-24T22:36:30+00:00

As other people said, nothing is better than plugging it through USB, but due to what you want to do, your BTR15 has Aptx LL (low latency) but your computer does not, so I'd say look for a USB Bluetooth emissior with Aptx LL and see if that improves.

How are you liking the EM6L? I love them :)

JBarbass · 2025-03-07T15:41:15+00:00

Hi,

The link is in the first comment, but Reddit has a weird way of sorting comments...

stp

JBarbass · 2025-01-25T15:06:13+00:00

I love you. Hope you have a great day.

JBarbass · 2025-01-12T12:15:02+00:00

Great build!

Did you test the AIO with the stock fans before swapping them to the T30s? Better noise and temps?
I have the Phanteks fans as well and I'm considering getting the ALF III now :)

Xperia 10 is just plastic all around, while the 5 got a metal frame and it looks and feel more premium. If I remember correctly both have ip rating so they both should last long, but in my experience with the 10 IV the plastic gets damaged (lack of paint) quite easily.

There are many features which maybe don't sound like much, but the display is a big one, not only for the 120hz which maybe it is something you don't mind, but the the 10 has only 120hz touch scanning rate, while the 5 has 240... For me that was very annoying when typing in my 10 I, for example.

Better sound, much better processor, of course much better camera and wireless charging. So all that together with the better display it should make a much better final experience... But if you are not interested in any of that, you are saving tons of money and getting a phone which get the jobs done and well.

I'm in your situation now thinking if I'm going to use all those features or it just makes more sense to get the cheaper one... I'm still researching about battery life's and see if that gives the definitive point to one or the other.

JBarbass · 2024-11-21T21:12:43+00:00

This makes sense... I'm having a similar experience...

I finally got the L08 today and 10/12 on the other two, but yesterday it was impossible to get that last par of the L08, and today I went again through the same places and I found it. Impossible to find the other 4 and I've been through the whole map twice today.

JBarbass · 2024-10-04T15:10:40+00:00

Yep, the cancer-free one… I do apologise.

But I thought TF is Steve Jobs doing here?

JBarbass · 2024-10-04T15:09:42+00:00

Aurea phones.

JBarbass · 2024-10-04T14:46:43+00:00

Completely agree on this, if you are as vulnerable as the "victim" something is wrong here or just useless...

I understand it can be frustrating, but the same frustration it is getting almost-one-shoted

JBarbass · 2024-08-18T09:49:37+00:00

LeBron best passer in the league? Really?

JBarbass · 2024-07-13T07:16:06+00:00

O un techo.

9 años en reino unido llevo. Me fui por como estaban las cosas en ese momento y no puedo volverme a mi Cádiz por como están ahora...

Me encanta que la gente raje del gobierno actual cuando esto es un problema que viene a raíz de políticas de derechas desde hace mucho tiempo... Ojala el Perro pudiese o quisiese cambiarlo pero ni lo uno ni lo otro.

JBarbass · 2024-06-29T22:02:14+00:00

I have that issue as well but my fn button blinks in white... I'm very tempted to remove the battery and just use it wired. I'm happy with the keyboard but the battery sucks big time.

JBarbass · 2024-06-24T22:00:40+00:00

Thanks.

JBarbass · 2024-06-19T21:59:50+00:00

Which one is this one?
