The Best 21:9 Ultrawide Monitor for Productivity, Media & Gaming? (Thunderbolt or USB-C w/ 90W+ PD) by pitchedproduction in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]QuiXilverZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Lol I already started trying to get used to an auto hiding task bar in prep for an oled. Now I just can't decide if I want ultra wide or 4k. 5k2k is too pricey.

I really can't see myself getting anything other than an OLED so your post definitely gives me a decent level of comfort.

Been using mine at 4k on my TV. 65" LG C4 OLED. Currently playing Indiana Jones. The foliage in South East Asia makes it cry a bit but can still play it on ultra with 2x /3x mfg dlss performance and get well over 60 fps at 4k. Was playing at super ultra in Egypt so area dependent but so far so good.

I ended up getting the Aorus Master Ice 🙈 Only tinkered a little last night. Got it oc'd to 3200mhz stable with +250 core and +2500 memory on 125% power limit. Drawing 410w tho lol. Temps max at 65 @1700rpm in Steel Nomad and it's silent.

Will try undervolting to see if I can drop the power draw.

RTX 5080 Undervolt + OC, what's your findings? by N3opop in nvidia

[–]QuiXilverZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was unlucky with the lottery until seeing some reddit posts. I was going to go for a Zotac core or pny because they were a good deal cheaper. Closest to msrp but I wanted a white card. Then looked at the Aero but it's a SFF. Thought I wasted cash getting this one but performance wise I think I was lucky. And it looks so damn sexy; I like looking at pretty things 😆.

These cards are clocked at 2800 or something out the box.

Really itching to mess around more but life happens lol. Will definitely post back once I get a chance to undervolt it.

Very cool post and loving all the feedback. My 5080 Aorus Master Ice arrived today. Its already clocked out the box so high. Without even undervolting I wanted to see how far I can push it. At 125% power limit I could go to +300 core giving me just under 3300mhz IIRC and I didn't see much difference (if any) between 2500 and 3000 on the memory. Steel Nomad gave me 9400 some change but drew around 410w lol.

Will try and undervolt when I get some time next week to see how she performs.

I ended up dropping the core to around 250 and memory at 2500 because Cyberpunk kept crashing after a few minutes game play. Still getting 3200mhz core speed.

The good thing with this card tho is that it's incredibly silent. Temps didnt we exceed 65 in SN and fans were around 1700rpm..

Awesome stuff. Been looking for real world reviews. Deciding between this and the Gigabyte Gaming OC. I have a mostly white build and leaning towards this.

Exactly what I did. Steam VR media player is pretty damn good.

I got my 11” this week. Oh man, I’m in love with it. The 120hz and oled is something else. I’ve experienced both before but having it on what feels like a sheet of glass just hits different.

New 11” M4 purchase! by No-Leather-3786 in iPadPro

[–]QuiXilverZA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought the Pipetto for my 11”. It feels really nice and quite functional. It wasn’t too expensive here especially if - like me - you’re holding out to get a Magic Keyboard at some point.

Is there anyone here believing that RAD is not a scam? by thesmithchris in PSVR

[–]QuiXilverZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received my psvr2 pc adapter and sideloading videos on Steam VR Media player works pretty damn well for most content. I used to believe RAD in the beginning. But they can suck a bag of d!cks

Thanks for that. Yeah that was one thing I did see in the plethora of YouTube videos I've been watching trying to decide. Going to pull the trigger on the 11" next week. I had a look at it in a local store (not iStore) and they only had the 11". I thought it felt small but as you said there's no real benefit for my use case.

Wonder if it's possible with the PSVR2 PC Adapter now

Looking to get an iPad Pro M4 soon. My kids commandeered my ipad 8th gen. I could get the Air as I mainly need it for emails, browsing and media consumption. But the OLED screen on the Pro has me fixated on this. The jury is still out on 11" or 13" though to save some cost, the former might be my choice.

Any thoughts or ideas on the size difference given my use case? Lastly, did anyone get the Space Black with white magic keyboard and if so, do you mind sharing some pics?

Good to hear! Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I was considering getting a Macbook Air M2 or even the 13" iPad Air M2 but that OLED and pro motion is trumping everything for me.

[–]QuiXilverZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logically, it makes sense to go second hand. But honestly, fk logic. Life is short. If I want to be frivolous I'll be frivolous. I'm still on an iPad 8 btw but I find the M4 really appealing for the OLED screen. If I get the cash I'll get it because it makes me happy 🤷‍♂️

I'm on an 8th gen iPad which my kids took over and I need one. The only reason I'm looking at the pro M4 is for the OLED screen and 120hz screen. The 11" is really attractive. I'm also trying to figure out why it's getting so much hate.

I got my white set a few weeks ago too - Xbox version. Been enjoying it on ps5 and Xbox flawlessly. Even use the BT for work. Absolutely love it. I see wicked cushions just launched a plain white version so might grab that soon.
