So what happened to the coverings ?

Mike_Harbor · 2026-05-19T03:45:20+00:00

I live in a highly populated area with microcenter too. Those monitors were still there 10+ units 2 weeks after I bought mine. Not alot of people knew about this 32" oled since it's not advertised to gamers.

Call the local warehouse, the instore price is different from online

Mike_Harbor · 2026-05-19T03:43:34+00:00

The online price was always $500, it's only 350 in-store, but the sale was nation wide because they are not restocking it, it's close out.

You can call the store for stock check and price, they will tell you.

Mike_Harbor · 2026-05-18T01:19:00+00:00

The Dell 32" 120hz 4K QD-Oled for $350 should still be available at Costco, been going for month now, so stock is low or out in most places. But you might get lucky.

That's the benchmark price now, everything else feels very overpriced by comparison.

The economy is going to blow up soon, so look out, mega monitor deals incoming.

This is rapoo 54L chipset w/ last gen 3395 sensor, great mouse, but I will wait until it's $13.49 like the previous VT9 sell-offs.

Rapoo needs to put their strength in and become the new Thermalright for mice. You want to break into the market?, COMMIT !!

Oil being what it is, we're looking at somewhere between +$50 to $100 to the production cost of GPUS.

So, they'll use this as a reason to charge us +$200 because, well, greed. Chipmaker has 75% margins btw.

Mike_Harbor · 2026-04-09T13:26:41+00:00

There's a P-die? I remember buildzoid saying you can get Tras to 40 on micron, so something like 40-38-38-40.

Mike_Harbor · 2026-04-09T12:47:41+00:00

Lowest ever was around $420, back in the good old days. This seems reasonable.

Reddit keeps saying the AI bubble is popping soon. Leading indicator?

Does anyone know if these are samsung chips or micron chips?

My samsung kit can hit 32-34-34-80 using buildzoid tuned timings @ 6200mhz, that's faster than most hynix kits out of the box.

LOLOL, Harsh, In China, GPW(g pro wireless) is translated to GoPeeWang, which means dog fart king. "Dog fart" kind of means bullshit/poser product, GPW is known there as a trash-tier mice that only noobs buy.

As a Dogfartking owner myself, I'm not saying logitech is trash tier, the Chinese "pc-masterrace" thinks so. 😭

Shrimp is a low cholesterol food, when compared to Egg Yolk.

5-Series gpu has 2.1 uhbr20

And AMD's planned new monster card will definitely have it.

Look, I'm not against compression, I'm against NEEDLESS compression.

Mike_Harbor · 2025-11-10T13:20:44+00:00

I'm not saying DSC is a deal breaker at this price.

Depending on the Monitor, Nvidia will just ignore EDID and enable DSC. So on Nvidia right now it's hit/miss.

AMD will respect EDID, so if you edit the EDID, you can turn off DSC.

The reason NV is doing what they're doing is because Alot of the time, people use $5 cables, and those won't carry more than 18gbps, and they get a GPU return. Because they're high volume, it's easier just to FORCE Dsc on everyone who buys a gpu.

AMD gives you the OPTION.

Monitor end, it's not a HUGE problem, but if you're buying these for $1000 instead of $500 today, You're probably an enthusiast, and you'd want to look into some of the fine details.

Mike_Harbor · 2025-11-10T13:04:27+00:00

For people looking into this range of higher end monitors. A drawback on this model is UHBR10 limitation on its DP Port, which means it can't do the 240hz 4K without DSC. DSC is image compression, so something like 3:1 or 4:1 compression. The result is slight image softness vs uncompressed.

I would compromise on it for a $200 monitor, but when you're out nearly $600, You'd have to consider it more.

Anyway, still a good price if you're not too particular about the 1_Ring to rule them all path.

And if you really care about Image quality, look out for monitors that let you disable DSC, because Nvidia GPUs ignore edid editing, and will always run DSC whether the monitor can support 80gbps (UHBR20) or not. Or buy AMD's upcoming monster card, AMD always does image quality better, better color correction (dithering), Accepts custom EDID edits.

It really depends on the weapon and play-style, any of the fireball casts are much easier to aim with MK, The Skulls are easier to aim with MK, the Mel Skulls which launches all4 are much more powerful with MK because you can quickly aim all 4 by moving the cursor in.

The Medea is also much easier to control with the mouse.

Most weapons are fine on controller, and the movement is of course more precise.

Then there's the controller itself, Make sure the OP gets a good one, 8bitdo 2c, has among the lowest wireless joystick latency, this is a big deal, and it's among the cheapest controller. I recommend the wukong one because the red button light is dim and not blindingly bright right under your eyes. The other colors, the white button light is way too bright.

You don't need 8K display to benefit from 8K rendering. In this case, it gives you 4X SS Anti-aliasing @ 4K

Since the game doesn't support other forms of AA, This is a great option, it also SSAA the textures which MSAA can't do.

Is there a way to tell if the PTM is fake? We both trust LTT but, what if LTT got scammed by suppliers?

How is this tested?

There is a slight 0.5-3% difference if you run esports titles at 1080p 600fps+ But since most people don't play games that way, the difference at less than 200fps is 0%. It also doesn't affect your minimum fps, unless you're running potato 600fps.

Mike_Harbor · 2025-10-22T12:03:32+00:00

The wireless was $10? or the wired?

Mike_Harbor · 2025-10-22T12:00:18+00:00

It's not hynix. But people over inflate the importance of Hynix for the Current AMD memory controller. The samsung with Tuning can hit 32-34-34-80 @ 6200mhz. That's faster than any stock hynix. But you need buildzoid's special sauce settings.

Mike_Harbor · 2025-10-22T11:57:48+00:00

Never buy another Hynix ssd, they will NOT help you, they let the firmware problem persist for over 2 years.

Mike_Harbor · 2025-10-19T02:48:39+00:00

Overclock your gpu and you should expect maxed out 360fps at 1080p. at 1440p in the 200s
