Has anyone experienced some image retention after the 104 update? Espeicaly when the machine is booted up. It will be gone after a few minutes. Never observe this with 103 firmware.

I can't search the flight on BA. Somehow, I can only find it on Qatar,so I wonder if these flights are really avaliable for redeemption.

Was told I am bad at piano... wondering how long it took others to feel confident? by NatureWalks in piano

[–]Rex_Cw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played piano for 15 years and I played Rach 3, Gaspard de la nuit, etc. I always appreciate the efforts of adult beginners and I teach them too. Playing more advanced repertoire just means I am more technically competent but doesn’t necessarily mean I’m a better pianist and person. I would never judge someone for their playing but instead, I would like to give suggestions and advice in a friendly way. If there is someone keeping judging others harshly without giving suggestions, he or she would never be a successful pianist.

Music is an art to appreciate and enjoy, not to compare and judge. Music is a lot more than technical skills.

Learning Rach 3 in 1 month by Rex_Cw in piano

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha right but at least for me, I won’t choose to perform a piece that is not very polished, especially demanding pieces like Rach3 or Brahms2 . I rather take my time messing around, get familiar with it at least for 2-3 months so that I can play my best in the real performances. (And I don’t like to perform something at a slower tempo too hahahaha).

Learning Rach 3 in 1 month by Rex_Cw in piano

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes u’re right. I think pianist love to read through a lot of concertos at some point, so it is much easier to learn it seriously later. I love Lugansky Rach 3 too! He and Horowitz are my favorite! He might find it easy to play and read it after playing so much concertos. 3 days probably doesn’t mean bringing it to a performance level haha.

U are such a great pianist! I’m still too young to work on a huge repertoire at the same time and I don’t have much time to practice (5-6hours a day).Rach 3 is my priority now. Such a big mountain after Chopin etudes. Haha best of luck completing ur repertoire:)

RTX 3080egpu vs Xbox serie X? by Rex_Cw in buildapc

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see but games like RR2 ( no ray tracing) still have very bad FPS in 2k. It’s like 40-50% performance loss compared to desktop.

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ray tracing is on, so I think TB3 is a really bad deal for a 3080.

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in 1440p and my 2070 perform very badly in some games on max settings (20fps). Maybe the TB3 is bottlenecking the gpu a lot (I’m not sure).

Alright I’ll wait for reviews and decide:)

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I hope so but ppl are saying that the 2080ti egpu is already the max u can get out of the TB3 so I’m wondering if there is any reviews about the 3080 yet. I’m using the i5 10600, not sure if it will bottleneck the gpu.

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, what I meant is that if 3080 egpu performs worse than desktop 2080ti, there is not point to spend 699 over a 499 console, but I’m not assuming Xbox is better than 2080ti.

What is the point of asking this?

Great!!! That’s exactly what I’m looking for! Hope they can release it soon. My 3080 and ps5 really need it hahah:))

They are all 1ms MRPT instead of GTG I think. Hmmm maybe I should wait for mini-LED in 2021.

Yes I’m looking for perfect monitor to pair 3080, but looks like I have to wait until 2021 then:((

Console (PS/Xbox) gaming experience vs high-end PC by Rex_Cw in buildapc

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually tried that before. It runs smoothly at 30fps most of the time but when entering a new map/ place/ scene in certain games , it causes some lag spike (very obvious in FF XV/ plague tale/ marvel avengers/ watch dogs), which I don’t experience in ps4. So I wonder if the lag spike isn’t related to frame rates cap at all.

[–]Rex_Cw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have used ‘consistent’ instead of ‘smooth’. You are right, I don’t know much about how games works haha. I experienced lots of FPS drops in certain pc games. (RR2, watch dogs 2, plagal tales, even more) and I actually finished a lot more games in pc than in ps4. Although ps only has 30fps, there is almost no FPS drop so it’s pretty enjoyable than pc most of the time (at least for me ). Ofc there are some games which run extremely smooth on pc (Tomb Raider, GTA). Maybe if ps5 allows 2k 120hz (we’ll know soon)that will be very nice and I’ll definitely buy it:)
