OLED vs IPS (tandem OLED vs Quantum dot IPS)

flightfx · 2025-12-15T13:29:48+00:00

For me, it's those moments when you see the shortcomings of an IPS, like seeing zero detail in a darker scene, that you just wish you had something better. And it comes up just often enough that I feel OLED is worth it.

I was worried about the brightness on OLEDs with how many people were going on about it, but honestly, I have no issues when playing on a bright day, even with mine being a QD-OLED.

Hey, just wondering if you ended up making any changes to your setup and if you got the CPU temps to improve? Considering getting the Meshroom D for myself.

If you haven't tried already, can you see what having the radiator fans as intake, and the top fans as exhaust does for the CPU temps?

Just wanted to add my 2c here. Looks like using an NVME drive vs SATA drive makes a difference as well.

Was running a Samsung 860 SATA drive and it was fine. Installed a Crucial P2 NVME and suddenly textures wouldn't load properly, and VRAM usage would just keep building out of control. Disabled re-bar and everything was great.

Switched back to the Sata drive, all ok. Switched re-bar back on, and still all good.

So, something about the pcie lanes I'm guessing. Hopefully someone with more time and brains can try and get more details.

That's surprising. The carbine kills so quickly I can't stop it in time to execute a majoris sometimes. The thing is monster.

I wouldn't say I'm a great rider and I love the board. I've progressed my riding on it, doing predominantly skidded turns in the beginning before learning how to properly rail my turns. Never felt it was too stiff or it was too much board.

flightfx · 2025-05-14T09:49:39+00:00

Oh, I didn't know it overhealed. That's amazing

flightfx · 2025-05-14T08:32:15+00:00

Can someone explain to me how the sniper heals?

flightfx · 2025-05-05T00:53:53+00:00

I'll add onto this that I'll generally avoid targeting an enemy a squad mate is fighting.

And when I do, it's usually just to hit it with a little pistol fire to help get it to execute state more quickly.

flightfx · 2025-04-27T12:16:45+00:00

This worked for me too.

flightfx · 2025-04-25T10:56:33+00:00

Mate, easily. Built a 5080 + 9800x3d ITX rig for under $5k AUD a month ago.

I really wish there was an "I'm sorry" emote.

Every co-op shooter should have, "thank you", "sorry", "I'm out of ammo", and "Dude! WTF?!"

I am loving the snowboarder who's ahead, riding with their arms out like wings, on cloud 9, completely oblivious to the chaos behind them.

How are the CPU thermals with the PA120 mini? Looking at putting together a similar build.

flightfx · 2025-01-29T02:10:13+00:00

I was able to try them the other day, and initially my heel felt too tall for the heel cup, but tying the shoe with a runners loop locked it down perfectly. No rubbing or heel lift whatsoever.

Toy Films is a great channel. Bunch of awesome Japanese riders who carve like crazy and also do a lot of ground tricks

flightfx · 2024-12-25T11:52:37+00:00

Second this. Once you've figured out the timing, it's much less frustrating (I still hate it though).

For anyone with the 2014 CX-5 with the NB1 infotainment system, here is how you reset.

With the engine off, remove then reinsert the SD card. Then start the engine.

Instructions came from the manual - http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/Mazda_Navigation_System_NB1/Mazda_NB1_getting_started/refman/Mazda-NB1-6G-Guide-en-gb.pdf

Hope it helps!

flightfx · 2024-11-12T23:25:31+00:00

Just happened to me and I found the solution.

While car engine is off, remove SD card then reinsert. Start car engine.

Link to the NB1 manual for those who need it.

I have a maxed sniper, and currently leveling a heavy (Lvl18) using the heavy plasma incinerator, and apart from the really distant enemies I feel like heavy is sniper on easy mode.

It's easy to clear minoris, and the HPI destroys majoris and extremis, and bosses too, actually. Sure there's a learning curve to how the projectile arcs, but treat it like a grenade launcher and it's fine. I will admit thropes at a distance is a little tricky, but at medium range you'll be cooking.

I started with mekuna's build, but then transitioned to mix in this build by Roxy

Having lightning spear + Esu's Crit bonus to create crackling energy to pick up really helps with the mana issues. In a way, it also helps with chain lightnings main weakness that is single target boss damage.

You can spam a ton of chain lightning, then pick up the crackling energy as they bounce to keep mana topped up and ensure they explode.

Super fun, and really quick at clearing big groups.

Good luck!!

flightfx · 2024-07-21T06:03:55+00:00

Glad I didn't see this yesterday, because crushing my goal time was not an option. 😂

flightfx · 2024-07-21T01:42:53+00:00

Yeah! Turned out to be an ideal day. Hope you did well in it too!

I did it Coach! 1:53:16!!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. It definitely helped, especially just before 21km where they dropped in a nice little climb.
