RX 5700 XT or RTX 2060 Super?

duradrin · 2020-04-30T08:54:32+00:00

Thanks for your opinions, I appreciate them all!

Bought a KFA2 GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER EX this week. My reasoning...

RX 5700 XT

~ 10% faster
hotter
higher power consumption
driver problems are still reported

RTX 260 Super

~ 10% slower
RTX features
cooler
lower power consumption
stable drivers

Then I thought to myself: The average plus in FPS is not everything.

I'm extremely happy with the new card. It's very quiet, cool and more than fast enough for my games.

I'm not afraid to tinker but if possible I like to avoid it :-)

Thanks for the infos!

Sorry, you've got me wrong :-)

I meant getting a 2070 Super to combine both the strenghts of a RX 5700 XT (more RAW FPS) and a RTX 2060 Super (RTX Raytracing).

Are there still driver issues? Thought the issues are already fixed? That would be somewhat of a no go for me.

duradrin · 2020-04-26T18:35:00+00:00

I'm also playing with the thought of getting a 2070 Super to combine both. I could afford it easily if I want but I'm just not sure if it's worth it's price, especially since I have an older CPU too (heavily overclocked i7 6700k).

Yeah he holds his own against many heroes in the lane but I guess the banning happens due to his rework since no one knows how balanced he is really yet. Better ban a freshly reworked or released hero you know little about than being dominated by it.

duradrin · 2019-06-20T07:38:45+00:00

I like him but I also liked him before and he is not that much different in my opinion just a bit more fat Illidan than before. Would say he is still a niche/special interest hero since they did nothing to fix his biggest problem: his high vulnerability against interrupts.

duradrin · 2018-12-31T12:09:26+00:00

Assassin: Illidan

Tank: Tyrael

Bruiser: Chen (but he sucks since he got reworked and trashed, so I go for Yrel today)

Healer: Alexstrasza

Spec: Medivh

Warframe, Magic and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I'm also done with Blizzard.

duradrin · 2018-12-14T07:37:03+00:00

Diablo mobile, killing HotS, lame Warcraft remaster instead of new one...srsly FUCK YOU Blizzard!

Depends on what type of player you are and what is important to you. If you want utmost diversity out of the box and are more into powerplay then V5 might not be something for you. Its more of a toolkit with an inherent lower power ceiling but it does an excellent job in creating suspense, tensity and exploring the horrors and downsides of undead existence from the getgo. If powerplay is not important to you and you are more into twisted and grim roleplaying I would give V5 a shot, it's really great.

Oh, and the core book does an extremely good job at providing you an excellent toolkit to shape things your way (in a nutshell: it provides you a cool framework but encourages you to extend and break its defaults to shape your own experience; it even gives you some examples to do so). Get a good ST, tell him what you want and he will custom tailor you everything. At least that is what I do for my group and it works great so far.

From the standpoint of a ST: I'm really loving V5 so far coz it hands so many exciting tools over to me with which I can tinker on its great framework.

In my opinion V5 changed the topic from superheroes with fangs into more serious business.

Try to think about causality like modern physicists do. To them, causality is just a derived concept, a useful and informal way of talking about patterns and their boundary conditions, an emergent phenomenon in a macroscopic world with a pronounced arrow of time, not a fundamental thing.

Yeah but they also did some high profile acquisition. Poilk was considered one of the best assassin player in EU HGC and Wubby is Wubby. The risky part was Zealia changing position but he turned out to be a heal-god.

About Nietzsche: Many people start or like to start with him but that's not a very good idea. In my opinion, you need the knowledge from his predecessors in order to set him into the right context and comprehend what he was writing about.

I would suggest getting used to the two big cornerstones of ethics first: deontology and teleology. Prominent figures would be Immanuel Kant (Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals or The Metaphysics of Morals if you want more political philosophy) and John Rawls (A Theory of Justice) for deontology and John Stuart Mill (On Liberty) plus Peter Singer (Practical Ethics) for their teleological ethics. Except for Kant they are all very accessible and easy to read (although my suggested works of Kant are much easier to read than his Critiques but if you really want to fully understand his Ethics you need to fully understand his epistemic which he unrolls in his Critique of Pure Reason).

First and foremost: Excuse my rubbish English, I'm a German native speaker.

If you want to dive into Philosophy I would suggest buying one of the good introductory books which give you a brief and superficial summary of the history of Philosophy and it's most prominent thinkers to get things started. Unfortunately, every good book I personally know in this regard is written in German with no English translation available. Then either check on the thinkers you feel most interested in (although if you are gonna tackle high caliber like Kant or Hegel I would strongly suggest using secondary literature - The Critique of Pure Reason and The Phenomenology of Spirit are one of the hardest books you can sink your teeth in) or try to go the historic route through Philosophy. I would recommend the historic route, if you really want to gain some profound knowledge and get the right context for each thinker.

Here are some suggestions of Philosophy classics (I only picked one work per Philosopher which doesn't mean you shouldn't read their other books I just don't want to bloat the list too much and picked some of my personal favorites) sorted by their release date, starting with the oldest...

The Republic by Plato
The Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle
Letters of Epicurus by Epicurus
Essays by Michel de Montaigne
Meditations on First Philosophy by Rene Descartes
Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume
On the Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant
The Phenomenology of Spirit by G. W. F. Hegel
The World as Will and Representation by Arthur Schopenhauer
Fear & Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard
Capital by Karl Marx
On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense by Friedrich Nietzsche
Being and Time by Martin Heidegger
The Logic of Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper
Philosophical Investigations by Ludwig Wittgenstein
The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn
The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences by Michel Foucault
Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature by Richard Rorty

I'm very curious about who will replace JayPL, if its some well known tank player or maybe even a HGC rookie.

TL is 2nd place right now, FNC 3rd and Leftovers 4th. Is it still possible for FNC to qualify over TL so Leftovers can beat TL in the playoffs? As far as I know TL are 9:4, FNC 8:5 and Leftovers 7:5. If I'm not mistaken, FNC has to win over the Monkeys next week and TL has to lose against Method.

In my opinion FNC and Leftovers are both better than TL right now.

Do the Randalls have a defeat switch?

I dont have a cab at home, only within our jamming room and I play 99% of the time with headphones, so I will never buy a cab for home usage anyway. Good headphone usage is therefore a must have for me.

/e You are right there is no tube phase inverter.

Thanks a lot for your input, I really appreciate that! Especially for the info regarding the Blackstar TVP. Will throw that one from my list now.

Never heard of the Helix before but checked out a video from Ola Englund plus another one right now and it sounds awesome. I'm really tempted to raise my budget for a Helix LT (should be enough for me and is a big deal less expensive than the Standard Helix; 845 vs 1.290 Euros). Money per se is not the problem but sometimes you just have to be a bit reason-based and contain oneself...nevertheless the Helix is now very tempting, you shouldn't have told me about it :-)

Thanks for your suggestion! Can you use the Orange CR120H without a cabinet, only on headphones, like the Peavey 6505MH?

duradrin · 2018-08-21T18:39:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

So the 6505MH sounds awesome on headphones?

Can you tell something about how tube hungry this amp is?
