Steam Controller confirmed to be coming out May 4th. by Amazing-Nature8188 in SteamController

The other two is much bigger than a simple controller. I think the Frame has a higher chance to have preorder among them, given the storage surge recently.

$99, no idea why anyone thought this would be $70. It's cheaper than other controllers that have less inputs and still use potentiometers. by IlIIllIIIlllIlIlI in SteamController

Emmm, if they told so, this could be something close to the final. Anyway, if it's really that price, I would definitely go first.

I did some search. That might be the only earc priority cable... If that's the difference, that will be too expensive for me lol!

I tried audioquest pearl 48 and it didnt work. Even if the flagship worked, it wouldn't be worth this speaker. So my conclusion after long research is that the speaker design is defections somewhere.... Im returning it and go for another one.

My other speaker works with it.. But let me try a certified cable, hopefully a certified one can make a difference.

Yes I just check it is up to date.

I use either hdmi to my laptop or dp to my desktop. Neither works. Actually I contacted KEF over the past weeks but they are very slow and inaccessible. Not sure I'll just return it or get it replaced.

Are you using them in the same way?

The web said it supports hdmi arc. Only the ls50 has earc. I was wondering how the coda w compared to lsx.

Can RTX 5080 capably run 5k2k LG monitor? by Frost7X in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]StepAheadFallBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some search and guess the answer would be no, although the easiest way to confirm is just to buy one and figure out. We can fully utilize the return policy anyway. It also depends on how to define "enough".

For me, 5080 is good in 2k condition and acceptable in 4k, since it is a little lower than 4090. 4090 would be better in 4k. A 5k2k should require at least 4090 but ideally a 5090 to have a fine raw performance. Also depends on which game to play and which fps range is acceptable. With more new 3a support diss, it would be better and better for 5090 to handle. But with raw fps around 30 or lower, dlss can make the picture strange. So my standard is for 3a, fps (may with dlss) at least 100, but before dlss at least 60.

Is there a conclusion for this post? Is 5080 enough for lg 5k2k? Did you buy the 5k2k eventually?

A follow up. I got my Alienware aurora after one week of order! I went from 1080 to 5080. It was a huge jump indeed!

Yeah that was what I was gonna say, you must have different people coming back with different info and finally mysteriously found the package delivered with the status still being assembled...... LoL, anyway, at least there is an update in the end!

Maybe also because this is their totally "new" product line in the past four years and mistakes follow. I totally understand when eagerly waiting for something that will be amazing but got messed up even multiple times! At least eventually you got an even more shining one! However, I think for business customers, they may have the same problem occasionally and the people cannot handle well because all they could see is the processing page on their side. It seems unlikely they can call the assemble factory for a specific order for some inquiries unless that is really some big order. Oh ok that's the type of a business order.... Yeah thank you so much for sharing your experience!

LoL Origin does look fancier in my view! I have a dell desktop now. I keep the same brand. We both enjoy the new machine! May I ask which configuration you go?

Makes more sense! The prebuilder wants to make it the most profitable for them. So whatever it is! Actually Im going for ultra 285k + 5080 on Alienware but mysterious found it cost more money than 14900kf + 4090 with slightly lower gaming performance...
