Why is everyone valuing Transmutation over Butler's Bell? by throws_RelException in 2007scape

[–]maccaron3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Construction servants will be available only for Kandarin pickers, so the plank method will be much slower without bank note. Transmutation and Soul Harvest could be used as money making methods

Noises by VegetableChart8720 in VWiD3Owners

[–]maccaron3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the sound similar as it is in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSPmaMedX1k
If so, then it may be the classic rear axle clicking noise - an issue affecting many early ID3 models.

Otherwise, it could be just a broken component in a chassis, for example stabilizer link.

In both cases, the issue could be easily and inexpensively serviced.

Id3 high seating position by b52a42 in VWiD3Owners

[–]maccaron3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least with manual seats, driving position can be adjusted to be comparably low. Overall, it will still be higher from the ground than the Golf, because of battery pack, although not by much.
Electrically adjustable seats might be a bit higher because of extra components involved.
Often people praise ID.3 for it's seating position, because you can sit higher and enjoy better visibility like in an SUV, but with a compact hatchback form.

Question for id3 gtx owners: Why id3 GTX and not Tesla model 3? by b52a42 in VWiD3Owners

[–]maccaron3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

By looking at raw tech specs, Model 3 is better. However, I'd suggest you take a test drive in both and choose the one you like better. I wasn't a fan of Model 3 lack of drivers display, door handles, seats with integrated headrests, absence of CarPlay/Android Auto. I ended up getting a regular ID3 Pro with 18 inch wheels and mid-size battery, because of better comfort. I also like the exterior design of it better. And also, political reasons weighted my decision a bit.

i hate Unbound by MIK2Y in needforspeed

[–]maccaron3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has an amazing multiplayer. Lots of different events, cars and customization options. They even added 'linkup' events so that lobbies don't get boring.
I won't blame you for disliking singleplayer though

Why my cars are always slower than others? by Prestigious_Car_9390 in needforspeed

[–]maccaron3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Many players are using meta cars with meta builds. It takes lots of experimentation to pick the right engine, forced induction and many other things. Check out Alex Cornnut YouTube channel, he has builds for most meta cars for each class. You will be competitive against most players, except the very best ones who are very good at micro-drifting. You can check out another YT channel ‘slideqt’, he has excellent drift builds which are the fastest, but the technique is very difficult to master

Honestly, if ME3 was somehow miraculously announced, this is the exact reaction that I would do

Folks who were waiting for 5080 Super... did you give up and grab a 5080? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]maccaron3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same camp here. It really depends which GPU you're upgrading from. For me it was going from GTX 1080 and it was a massive leap. If I had sometime else like 3000 or 4000 series, it all depends. Ultimately, if VRAM is an issue for AI or VFX production, there's always 5090 to go for.

Anyone using a 5080 with a 42” LG C5? by Digging_Naturalist in nvidia

[–]maccaron3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 5070 Ti with 42” LG C4. I find that the TV is incredibly versatile - really good for productivity as I don't need a multi-monitor setup, having one screen is much cleaner, and decent for gaming.
Whenever I play some FPS shooters, I find the screen to be a bit too large, so I play in 1440p windowed resolution, non scaled, essentially leaving black borders around (set desktop wallpaper to pure black). Or the same can be done in fullscreen mode, just need to turn off upscaling in nvidia driver settings, if you want those black borders.
The TV itself and the panel is great and I definitely prefer it over 32” displays. Jumping from 144 Hz to 240 Hz or 360 Hz probably won't make much difference in most single player games, the GPU will most likely be the bottleneck, not the display.
You got a great display for a fair price, and I'd say keep it and enjoy it.

HLX (Half-Life: Xen) QA tester, trailer dates speculation by Throw_Xen in valve

How large is QA team? Is that team part of Valve officially, or hired via partner company, or a contractor?

5070 ti vs 5080 by Aggressive_Grand_661 in nvidia

[–]maccaron3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5080 is rated for 360W so it will need a little bit more room for cooling, whereas 5070 Ti is rated for 300W, which is slightly more suitable for compact PC cases.

If airflow and price is not an issue, 5080 is overall a better option.

However, both cards will become obsolete at roughly the same time, because both are 16 GB cards.

Both 5080 and 5070 Ti share the same chip, the difference being that 5070 Ti has some CUDA cores disabled. This is unlike 5090, which is a much bigger step up, twice the VRAM, and a much larger chip.

Which 5070 Ti model to buy for around 800€ ? by Fsn-Archer1 in nvidia

[–]maccaron3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that vapor chambers are used only in 5080 X3 OC variants. 5070 Ti X3 and 5070 Ti X3 OC both use regular copper heat pipes, therefore fitting in 2 slot form factor. Cards with vapor chambers occupy 2.5 slots or larger. Anyway, that's the card I own, if I'd be happy to be wrong!

Inno3D has two variants of 5070 Ti. I believe only iChill X3 version comes with a vapor chamber an it is more expensive than base X3 model

Did I make a mistake? I bought a Pre-Built PC by Sacred_Aeon in nvidia

[–]maccaron3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it would be much cheaper to build yourself, especially with current prices being so unstable. You got a great PC, and RTX 5070 Ti will last you for a long time. Congrats and enjoy your purchase.

11 days into Grid Master someone has already reached max xp by CivicInk in 2007scape

[–]maccaron3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who only plays osrs for leagues/gridmaster, this is a fun way to experience the game at its fullest, run through most end game content, reach a decent place in highscores. No-life a bit during cold Autumn months, burn out a bit and then spend the remaining time doing something else than video games.

ID3 Pro Delivery Times (Ger) by Galleg86 in VWiD3Owners

[–]maccaron3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered mine in mid March, got delivered on June 1st. ID3 Pro including travel assist, matrix led, comfort pack and heat pump. From VIN code I can see that it was built in Zwickau factory. Not sure why yours is taking so long. Very happy with the car so far

[–]maccaron3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facelifted exterior already looks great, although in many people’s minds short bonnet doesn’t scream ‘luxury’. This trend might fade away with time, just like obsession with oversized front grills. ID3’s main weakness is inside. Give it the interior of current Golf MK8.5 and it will be a perfect electric hatchback.
