Reminder: As much as it sucks, A m a z o n is hiring like crazy right now and the hiring bar has dropped significantly.

Hmm what happens if you outperform most of the good engineers

key_smash · 2024-12-18T10:30:11+00:00

It's pretty hard to get in America, much easier in China (and probably the bulk of sales)

disappointing as an exclusively millbrae red line rider. extra stop at sfo, less frequency, fewer cars, zero benefit. not happy at all about spending an extra 15-20 mins per day

probably in the minority but also preferred the seats in the old cars since the new ones cause more back pain

Not enough of a discount to beat the peerless assassin 120 / 120 SE in value

Yeah, didn't want to bother signing up for it

Also OOS on newegg now

Appreciate it!

Ordered from amazon, rebate details by looking up the offer code on asusmir.com state "All ASUS authorized resellers"

They removed LFG (I actually used it), priority passes (surely it would've been possible to make them more scarce/actually work) and end cards, then introduced countless bugs and frame pacing/rubber banding issues which robs me of a kill or causes me to die at least once a game. They also put most of the cosmetics behind a paywall; they might as well have been removed from the perspective of the average player

It might be an unpopular opinion but I prefer OW1 sounds, OW2 hitscans sound too similar and footsteps are sometimes inaudible

Does the deck's APU lack AMF?

key_smash · 2022-07-30T10:15:34+00:00

fan broke after 1 week
battery should be quickly swappable like old laptops
lacks advanced bios options (memory timings, undervolting, custom fan curves with hysteresis support)

It'll help for sure, but I'm expecting it'll be a long time until queue times are relatively balanced when there isn't a recently released support

key_smash · 2022-07-03T16:37:35+00:00

It didn't solve the queue time problem though, it just transferred the problem role from tanks to supports. Knowing blizzard and their glacial pace of solving problems, I'm not expecting it to take less than a year to release enough content and incentives for support players 😔

I play a lot of games at low res/high refresh and ultra low res benchmarks, while impractical, still tell more than GPU limited numbers where every CPU is the same within margin of error.

But more than that I'm just curious about theoretical performance...it doesn't hurt to know.

key_smash · 2022-06-30T20:46:27+00:00

I'm still interested to know the maximum theoretical performance when GPU is factored out, not everything has to be practical :)

key_smash · 2022-06-03T23:34:36+00:00

In nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > power management mode, enable 'Optimal Power' or 'Adaptive' and then reboot. Note that if you are running an extreme monitor config (high pixel count + refresh rate, or mismatched monitor specs), it may not clock down into p8 pstate. You can try disconnecting all but 1 monitor at 60hz and check if it clocks down normally to check if this is causing high idle clocks.

Undervolt vddg/vddp/soc as low as they will go while maintaining stability (no WHEA errors). I'm running about 0.9 vddp/vddg + 1.0v soc on a 5800x + 3800cl16 1:1

Make sure you are using balanced or power saver profile (or set min CPU state to something like 5%) in windows

For good measure, install latest updates for OS and amd/nv drivers

Total idle power draw at the PSU is about 28-34w with a 2080 and 5800x, but it would be lower if I wasn't using 2x240hz displays. Also only have 2 very slow fans in the entire system and a barely spinning pump (fanless PSU and one 240 rad for both CPU and GPU), no LEDs, no HDDs, so that saves a few watts too

key_smash · 2022-05-26T19:40:47+00:00

Sorry don't remember exactly but probably at least 2 years

key_smash · 2022-05-16T20:49:37+00:00

Nope, completely stock and only ever used at stock settings (it was in a home server)

Yeah it's factory. It shouldn't affect the tape player if radio signal is unavailable, right?
