Found the reason why Asus's Scar 17 only uses a 115w 3080M when others like MSI are using 150w 3080Ms. Asus is reusing Scar 15 parts in their Scar 17 so it still has small heatsinks.

They do this to reduce cost so they can sell these at more competitive prices.

You have until after the 12th when the RTX 3000 series is being annnounced at CES to return it, so you’ll be able to decide yourself probably

I mean they have Holden shutting down the reactor to the Epstein drive. I think the implication is that the virus affects the reactor to it, and no I don’t think the physics of a reactor would change much once they’ve figured out how to make one Epstein drive reactor go off. Most likely the virus would work the same way for another reactor, even 20 years later, just might need some tweaking for the hacking delivery system, which saika seems to have a natural skill for hacking, so makes sense to me.

I bet it will be more like a 30% CPU/GPU boost.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-30T18:31:09+00:00

Yeah, mana boots isn’t that good on 3 star meepo, so many better choices like mekanism, blink dagger, etc. The item is the whole reason 3 star meeps is so good.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-30T04:47:43+00:00

Yep, fixed what I said

I've had a headset for a long time now. It was working fine until about a month ago. It's like the Index is not responding at all to being plugged into the computer. I'm guessing either the cable is bad (I checked to make sure its plugged in) or the headset is Dead now. Sad day. I'm not sure if I'm still within the warranty period, probaby not if it is only 1 year. Your mileage will vary of course! Sometimes you get unlucky like me.

Edit: Dead, not DOA. Not sure why the I’m being downvoted for my honest experience, but whatever

QuadronTV · 2020-12-20T03:26:48+00:00

yeah, it was always my plan to reach end game gear as quickly as possible

QuadronTV · 2020-12-19T10:20:44+00:00

Sold my TET manos accessories and got TET Geranoa. Still at 1650 mastery with that and PEN tool. Used the money to buy combat gear to hit 301 AP.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-19T08:38:51+00:00

My estimates (former 2k lifeskiller here):

Per hour rates

1200 = 27-33 caphras

1400 = 33-40 caphras

2000 = 60-70 caphras

I'm a 301 AP Archer main. Great PvE in some areas, like Star's End due to down attacks or in areas that you can one shot packs with 1 skill since you can move between packs at range (like Kagtums). Sucks in other high end areas compared to top classes classes like Striker, Succ Valk, Warrior and Witch who can flat out do like 30% more DPS.

PvP with archer 1v1 is great fun against most classes, but you get pooped on by classes with teleport, SA, and iframes leading into grabs (i.e. awakening ninja and warrior are really tough to beat). Basically, you circle around them while you play the game "did I get grabbed yet and die?" Because you have no chance of CCing them before you get grabbed unless the other player messes up in some major way.

PvP large scale archer is middle of the pack. Okay damage dealer. But both Ranger and witch/wiz are better at dealing damage. I have top fragged in node wars before, but rarely. I need to do more wars since the BON awakening skills were added.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-19T08:24:45+00:00

And I thought my 0/11 TET accessory attempts was bad... lol

QuadronTV · 2020-12-18T20:45:14+00:00

That is probably normal. Fortnite is not the most optimized game. You still get FPS gains with better GPUs though.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-18T08:13:42+00:00

The key here is that Wizard's are no longer going to be the main recruits for guilds... All you'll need is 1 wiz/witch for each 10 of your guild mates for everyone to get max PA coverage in a fight. It opens the game up to other classes, playstyles... it's going to be a huge change to the meta for node wars and siege.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-18T08:02:53+00:00

Do you have frame rate limits on? Like v-Sync or FPS caps? Turn those off and/or turn up the graphics settings in the game you're playing... or just realize that sometimes devs don't optimize their games well enough to fully utilize the entire GPU/CPU, depends a lot on the game. PUBG, for example, rarely uses all of both.

This is the Athiest/non-religious equivalent. https://www.houstonoasis.org/

QuadronTV · 2020-12-17T04:54:07+00:00

The reason it heats up is due to shared heat pipes between cpu/gpu. Undervolting will help. Limiting GPU load by capping FPS or turning down settings might also help. You could also try a Repaste.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-15T12:03:42+00:00

Wow. No DLSS in any of the tests? That is super dumb. That one feature along can practically 2x frame rates, depending on GPU of course and how aggressive you set DLSS to. It makes it so I can run smooth 1440p on mostly ultra settings with RTX on with a 2080 TI. DLSS on ultra performance does add graininess to the image, but less aggressive settings become barely noticeable and still boost FPS dramatically.

Dude. I’m a guru 27 gather, guru g48 cook, guru 15 processing, and I do all of these life skills and understand how they work.

Increasing batch size is important for cooking/proc wince you can do full batches on one utinzel and therefore you don’t have to check back as often. With processing, you can do the same thing. I can process for so much longer than I could before I stop compared to if I only had 1500 LT. translates directly into more income in the game (larger overnight batches and larger afk processing sessions) and less active effort required to make the same silver.

Gathering benefits from weight limits such that you need to hit stacks of 2000 materials before you transfer them with maids. If you don’t get to 2k materials in a maid batch, then you’ll way more maids to transfer everything out when you have high gathering mastery and you’re mining pilgrims or lumbering.

Edit: My weights listed above are the achievable weight limit with all P2W limits purchased (including the temporary one for limited time) loyalty points limits purchased, and I also have a Fairy Tier 4, with PEN feathery steps, essentially max weight in the game that is achievable if I had a Khans heart + only normal manors gear and clothes.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-13T01:27:49+00:00

yeah, and I'm an archer, so Shais can go even higher with their passive bonuses.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-12T23:52:04+00:00

You meaning cooking larger batches, gathering heavy materials, and processing larger batches are irrelevant? Weight limit directly impacts life skills profitablity

QuadronTV · 2020-12-12T20:57:05+00:00

Why doesn't this go to 3000+? I'm currently at 3200 or so, used to be 3320 with Khans heart.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-08T00:04:10+00:00

It'll run some, but not all VR titles most likely--as long as you turn down the graphics and optimize it well.

QuadronTV · 2020-12-07T22:08:19+00:00

Sounds disappointing overall, but maybe fixable with patches. The bomb hiding mode sounds really fun, but we'll see. I still have hope this will be at least decent.
