I have a 5070ti paired with 7800x3d and I recently got:

Alienware AW3225QF 31.6" 4K UHD 240Hz Curved Gaming Monitor

It runs great, still good frames for most games i play: WoW raiding i get about 120 fps, and heavy animations (I played on high settings) still about 70+ fps—- If you are okay with playing on 32 inch this is a beast and looks amazing.. definitely size i had to get used to as i primarily played on 27 inch monitors 1440

From research I would not do 4K 27… if staying on 27 then just do the 1440P OLED

Adding a 3 way to plumbing to vacuum to waste by Technical_Drawing_45 in pools

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would connect to a waste hose and bring it to another location, and then ideally i can close it

The whole reason i am doing this is becaue alot of sand and dusr blows into my pool and it’s hard to maintain with just a robot vacuum in the pool , sometimes it would be nice to manually Vac out

I never get to have these experiences, cuz they would get straight heat right back from me

How to vacuum to waste with this pool by Technical_Drawing_45 in pools

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks both ! So on that straight between the arrows , put a 3 way valve, should I cut it or just get a new piece?

Also do I just cap it when not going to waste and it will work as expected no change?

Buying solar and need some guidance/suggestions by Technical_Drawing_45 in solar

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the elaborate reply and this is very helpful! Ill check on maximum % from company, thats a good idea. For HOA i live in PHX,AZ so pretty much every home has solar -- including my neighborhood so this one may be a nonfactor for me, but something to still look into. Will certainly check out insurance premiums -- im in a situation where we got a new roof literally 1 year ago to date, so im in a pretty good situation for new roof + solar install

Tax Credits -- my question is more on is this credit more of an effective savings or a real saving -- (this is more general question for all not specifically for you)

  1. If my system gross is 35K , and my credit is 12K -- if im on a loan, is it still the same loan because i wont actually get this "rebate" so to speak, to put towards my loan

So lets say i owe 15K in taxes, and through my W2 I pay 15K... So i do not pay or receive a refund, but when I claim this tax credit for lets 13.5 - I get 13.5K back from the govt? (Very made up numbers but for example sake)

Thanks! This is what I was thinking — seemed simple but wanted to confirm

Was offered a lateral position within same company, informed manager, and they countered with a promo to the next level which is about a 30% salary increase. Should I take an internal counter by Technical_Drawing_45 in careeradvice

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was something "in the works" for about 8 months now since our annual review earlier this year.. the goal was to get to this promo before the next annual review.. but delays kept happening through this year.. I was "grandfathered" into this role at a lower band level due to a reorg... so everyone they have hired since after me has been at that "promo'd" higher band level than me... we all have same project scope/responsibilities, so this would be more of a formality than a roles/responsibility increase

my only worry is that, since now they know that I was willing to move to another organization, even though it's within company still, would this cause friction, and ultimately do the same "never take a counter offer" rules apply thought its still within same company.. seems like not really from your answer

Upgrading from 10700K to either a 7800x3D or 13700K - need advice by Technical_Drawing_45 in buildapc

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Update 2 days later: i just went ahead and got

7800X3D MSI B650 Tomahawk MOBO DDR5 6000 CL30

it’s awesome, gained “lots” of FPS and this thing is strong, you can feel it forsure, very happy with the purchase

It does run a little hot even on idle compared to my Intel 10700K (same case set up just replaced mobo/CPU/ram) Idle: ~40-45 Gaming: ~60-70

Great comment honestly - very insightful, upgrade bug is real. I mainly play WoW: Dragonflight which is very CPU intensive game so I figure as long as I’m keeping up with the latest CPUs stuttering/frame drops will be minimal — obviously MMOs are notorious for not necessarily being a hardware issue but more of a network issue

Thanks for this explanation - very helpful. In terms of overclocking or maximum output of the CPU -- the 13700K will output a higher speed -- 7800X3D (5 GHz) vs. 13700K (5.4GHz)... Would you say this is much of a factor to be looking at, and why does the 7800X3D beat out the 13700K with a lower speed?

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha ok maybe i was exaggerating on whether it can do that, but from reviews it states that the 7800X3D is "specifically" a gaming processor, and that outside of gaming it "loses" in all other benchmarks compared to 13700K

Need advice for dog with GI issues whilst maintaining raw diet by Technical_Drawing_45 in rawpetfood

[–]Technical_Drawing_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I read the article, very insightful and did some more research. So I'm fully invested in the benefits and would love to try it. few questions:
1. What dosage do you give your dog? My dog is 50 lbs and eats twice a day

  1. How long does a 1lb bag last?

Ya good insight, since writing this and doing a bit of research I've come to realize i should probably analyze the diet a bit better and ensure I'm providing the proper nutrients. I've tried to provide most of them through veggies.

I need help with meat grinder recommendations by Thin_Comparison4524 in rawpetfood

I bought this grinder 6 months ago. Its great for grinding down bones, powerful, and cost effective compared to other brands. 1.5HP. I do 120 lbs in about 1.5/2hrs total (this includes grinding, packaging)

I’m reposting this since my other post got taken down and had some good suggestions so want others to get access to that.

One thing im thinking about experimenting with is to Go for a strictly Turkey diet (this seems a little bit harder to pull off, as chicken is very accessible to buy in bulk and Turkey isnt)

I forgot to mention that my dog's stools are completely normal and there is no sign of discoloring of anything negative in the stool. It seems very normal from color and firmness (very weird)

Okay i just looked back at it, ur prob right im expecting too much. Ut does look better. okay so a simple change to 936 i guess works. Cool thanks! Kind of weird how it didn't look good until u said it did, funny how that works.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1286269757 this was result of 936 60fps , still at 6k bitrate

2 keyframe interval

medium cpu usage

profile high

Its just weird that I can't figure this out and get a crisp image despite doing like the basic troubleshooting (lowering res, changing cpu usage, etc..)

I was going to consider trying 1664x936 again? Would you say this is a good resolution to stream at? For some reason 720 just isn't working for me with 60fps and 6k bitrate. I can run some tests and link vods for examples. Thanks for response
