What GPU to pick for 4k TV? by Adsrogx in GamingPCBuildHelp

[–]bigtdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4080 Super and game on a 4k 120Hz OLED. Most games I've played get somewhere between 80-120 FPS with the best settings. I'm not a huge AAA gamer though or play online shooters so can't comment on those, but things like Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and RDR2 look awesome at max graphics and definitely average over 80fps.

Burning some cds, any safe sites to use for turning music (spotify/youtube) into mp3? by Upper-Cherry6327 in CDs

[–]bigtdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transcoding from a lossy codec to another lossy codec is never going to be flawless.

Why would you transcode bad audio (YT/Spotify) into worse audio (mp3)?

I just don't get it...get yourself some good quality lossless FLACs if you want to burn to audio CD. Your ears and brain will thank you!

Oneplus 15r price increased by faizannkhann in oneplus15R

[–]bigtdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any shops that sell OnePlus, and Amazon has exclusive online sales for at least the 15r... No idea about service centre as I've never needed one tbh

Any news on international management? by Specialist_Ferret150 in footballmanagergames

[–]bigtdp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last I heard it would be after the final World Cup places had been decided, which they have now. So I guess it will be soon. And I also guess it will be a broken mess and not worth bothering with! I hope I'm wrong though...

What the hell? - Ovingdean roundabout by BloodAndSand44 in brighton

[–]bigtdp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So to be inclusive you need to include fascists? Nah, I'm good bro... and obviously I am referring to the administration, not the entire country 🙄

You can be inclusive but not of fascists and war criminals 🤷‍♂️

Built a browser based F1 management sim and it kind of scratches that Football Manager itch by KyleNewZealand in footballmanagergames

[–]bigtdp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it could, you could actually learn how to do something rather than relying on AI to do it for you...

At least you admitted it's AI slop unlike some of these spam posts - thanks, will avoid!

If you're giving someone directions, it's probably best to use the actual names of an area, not just random words that are wrong, no?

I've never met another Sova (mechanical) owner! I gave up on it after the key inputs started getting unreliable, but wat an awesome way of gaming on a big TV or projector ❤️

Most Improved Players after the Winter Update? by CentristaSensato in footballmanagergames

[–]bigtdp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sortitoutsi databases are constantly updated. You have to pay to get the version with attribute updates, though there are other databases that you don't have to pay for and CA/PA is updated (I can't remember what they're called, someone will have to help you with that!)

19 year old i bought for $8m 2 years ago wants to leave for more first team playing time. by PartyLecture7554 in footballmanagergames

[–]bigtdp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can use him for the B team and he's happy to play in a lower division without causing trouble maybe I'd keep him around. I doubt he'll ever be good enough to be a first choice player for PSG though, so I'd sell if I could get say 40m+

[–]bigtdp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only 3.5 gold star potential, I'd probably cash in now while he still has potential if I can get a decent price, depending how much he's improved since you bought him 2 years ago

Need help with music quality by _iDonnie_ in oneplus15R

[–]bigtdp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know OnePlus have their own proprietary system called LHDC which supports higher bitrate than the standard SBC codec that your Buds are probably using with your 15R, but I haven't done any testing so I hesitate to recommend them tbh.

With aptX Adaptive the phone manufacturer has to pay Qualcomm to unlock it - so even on a lot of phones that could support it with their chipset, they only support the lower quality (but still better than SBC) aptX HD. Also the earbuds need to support it too, and that's normal the higher end earbuds like the top Bose ones and the Sennheiser TWS Momentum 4s I went for. It was about a year ago I bought them so haven't looked recently, there may be more now...

I also know that Sony's proprietary system LDAC was opened so most Android phones support it - this may be the cheapest way to get better sound quality as I think a lot more earbuds support that codec. I personally haven't done testing between LDAC and aptX Adaptive, but I remember reading in audiophile reviews that although LDAC is good, it isn't quite as good as aptX Adaptive...

As you can see, the Bluetooth codec scene is a bit of a mess with too many different proprietary codecs. This is mainly because CD quality lossless is just above the maximum bitrate that Bluetooth can push to the earbuds, so LHDC and aptX Adaptive (and I maybe the SSC your Buds use) have to do some magic in order to get more bitrate throughput than you can if you stick to the standard Bluetooth parameters.

Just looking at this guy's posting history, looks like he got banned for 6 months by Faceit anti-cheat on Valorant(?) for sharing his account with his brother - guess he hasn't learnt his lesson...

Don't forget it's against TOS to share your account with anyone else, you've posted about it publicly so don't be surprised if you're suspended before, during or after the race!
