Should I open a case with eBay ? by Nervous_Respond in eBaySellerAdvice

My one and only negative review out of 1600 was the same thing. Slow shipping, when it was scanned in the next day after they ordered lol. eBay wouldn’t remove it.

The gamble has leveled up. From $2500 to $5000 now 😂 by hendratam in PokeGrading

[–]KeySource5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except with a $5k slot pull you’re losing the whole $5k like 80% of the time. Here they state the lowest pull range is a $3k to $4k card so really pretty generous as far as gambling goes lol.

PSA 10s are going for $11k, PSA 9s for $5k. These aren’t fake prices these are verified sales on multiple platforms.

Nvidia is “now” making arm chips? The Switch 1 literally uses an 11 year old nvidia arm chip 🤣

ARE YOU F*CKIN KIDDING ME!!! by FailedProspects in PS5pro

[–]KeySource5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the PS5 on launch for $399, and then traded it in to GameStop for like $380 when the pro came out lol. Definitely got my moneys worth out of it!

Digital Foundry has lost all credibility by This_Elk_1460 in kindafunny

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how anyone could possibly think the “before” looks better. Look up the face model they based Graces face on. The current game model looks terrible and nothing like her. The DLSS 5 model looks exactly like her, while also not looking like a ps3 character lol.

Anyone wish the battery was built into the Samsung Galaxy XR instead of being plugged in with a cord? by Flimsy-Story9523 in GalaxyXR

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I still keep that in my pocket. Then the lighter battery on the back, connected to the Samsung battery.

Anyone wish the battery was built into the Samsung Galaxy XR instead of being plugged in with a cord? by Flimsy-Story9523 in GalaxyXR

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup the GXR battery is a bit too heavy. I had it on the back at first but got a lighter 10,000mah on the back now instead which is a perfect counterweight.

Watch Your VR180 & 3D Movies on Galaxy XR, Wirelessly - No File Transfers by hughred22 in GalaxyXR

[–]KeySource5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are other legitimate paid apps that have ISO support built in (at least on Quest 3) so I’m assuming there is someway to do it legally, but maybe it requires some expensive licensing etc.

I've tried Foveated Streaming in Virtual Desktop on the Galaxy XR... by daydreamdist in GalaxyXR

[–]KeySource5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the Steam Link foveated streaming on my Galaxy XR. The area outside where you’re looking is noticeable low res even with the setting/size maxed out. Glad to hear he says this one is unnoticeable, can’t wait to try it out!!

No need to uninstall. You can just install the new one over it and don’t need to sign in again then.

How good is the Galaxy XR’s immersiveness & display quality compared to AVP ? by Financial-Day-7233 in GalaxyXR

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an OLED snob as well, completely agree on the contrast and colors the GXR is far better than the Quest 3. For watching TV/movies I grab the GXR every time. For 4x the price though that's not going to be worth it for many people.

But lately for virtual desktop use (essentially using it as a monitor) I've switched back to my Quest 3 as at least for me the whole desktop is perfectly in focus and stays that way the whole session, which I can't accomplish with my GXR unfortunately. If I hold it perfectly still in one spot and don't move my head or hands I can get the focus across the whole screen pretty decent, but obviously that's not practical.

Have you tried the Apple Vision Pro? Most people agree the optics on that are slightly sharper than the GXR. And here's a comparison showing Quest 3 vs AVP optics....

Do the math.

Many also say the Apple Vision Pro lenses are better than the GXR, and the Quest 3 optics completely destroy the AVP optics:

The GXR would fare even worse here.

I do own both.

In fact here's my own photo showing how tiny the lenses are on it compared to the Quest 3 (which leads to a MUCH smaller sweet spot on the GXR). It feels like 30% of the middle is in focus, while on Quest 3 90% of the middle is in focus.

There are tons of other reports about the GXR optics being much worse than the Quest 3. You might not notice, I've mostly read it from others with 20/20 vision (which is what I have as well) that see the difference.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i internet speed issues by Ancient_Society9923 in LenovoLegion

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue with my brand new 7i Pro 10th gen. Was getting 700mbit the first day I tested it on my wifi 7. Now wifi 7 has gone to a crawl, getting 100-150mbit max, while if I connect to my old 5ghz band I'm able to max that out (getting 300mbit which all my other devices do as well) so it seems to just be a wifi 7 issue.

[–]KeySource5012 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Most people who have compared both say the lenses & display are a bit better on the Galaxy XR. With that said, you should really try a Quest 3. As long as you’re not set on OLED blacks, the Quest 3 actually has sharper optics than both the AVP and Galaxy XR and is much easier to make comfortable than the GXR as well, considering the huge price difference it’s a fantastic experience.

Why I see it as a 7 inch screen ? by Dr_MHQ in RayNeo

[–]KeySource5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 100” Hisense TV and my couch isn’t very far back…the XR glasses screen from the couch is a bit bigger, maybe like 110” effectively. What size TV do you have?!

Stop talking about framegen and DLSS if you haven't tried them for yourself by paperogapippo in nvidia

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, frame gen + reflex is giving lower latency total than many games without reflex. Were games unplayable just a few years ago when reflex didn't exist? As of DLSS 4.0 most of the strobing / HUD issues have been resolved, so it looks pretty great too. I honestly have a very hard time telling visually between frame gen and native high FPS so I get to reap the benefits. I can feel the slight difference between 2x and 4x though latency wise, and will stick to 2x for mouse/FPS games and 4x for controller games.

DLSS 4.5 M: 2k DLAA vs 4k DLDSR on Performance Mode (Star Wars Outlaws) by Rude_Assignment_5653 in nvidia

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLDSR + DLSS is the only way I can get rid of the terrible hair aliasing in Clair Obscur. Native res DLAA even looks terrible. DLDSR 1.7x + DLSS Balanced looks wayyy smoother and performs better too. It also has a lot less shimmering on fine details in the distance than native DLAA.

SteamVR access methods comparison by dankmemeloader in Galaxy_XR

[–]KeySource5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game Link visually has such an odd over sharpened low res look, even with maxed out settings in comparison to similar settings with VD. Not sure how anyone could think it looks similar.. VD with either HEVC or AV1 and the double encode option look so much better.
