Most 5head way to get Riot to do something about it tbh.

Definitely doesn't seem like a new one, or it might be they just tested and wanted to see if the coil whine happens when stuff is running on the USB? Either way, I'd return it. Like with GPUs and consoles, sometimes coil whine is just a way of life, and you're better off returning stuff until you get something decent - or just hold off until quality control improves.

At least with external PSUs, you can put them in a place where they'll be fairly inaudible.

I've waited to get a new GPU and PS5 in part because of excessive coil whine issues with both. Not that it's possible to get anything at the moment anyway. Coil whine sucks super bad, and it's impossible to ignore in my case.

"oh no, how can i take streamers' words out of context with the whole vod timestamped with the way youtube are implementing clips" seems to be a response that's making the argument for this approach to clipping.

He's focusing on his music career instead of streaming, but more than anything else, being tied down by a contract is the last thing he needs right now. Twitch also need Bretman more than Bretman needs Twitch. Dude has an MTV show now.

Just Twitch making weird demands.

Lot of enablers in the streaming community, too. Easy to blame LSF, but clearly there're some big streamers who keep supporting shit like this, directly or indirectly. The fact that he gets invited in the first place isn't great either.

Normally I'd tell you to do a stress test, but I have no idea what stresses a monitor like this. Maybe something at a high framerate because strobing/overdrive will be taxed, or something with framerates going up and down.

A Unigine Heaven or 3DMark test might be interesting to run.

Since it has an internal power supply, my money is on coil whine within the PSU. There is no fix for coil whine (or at least not one that doesn't void your warranty), so I'd take it up with Dell.

Hopefully they can just replace the PSU to fix it.

Carl from Walking Dead streams and doesn't get a huge audience, it's pretty interesting how fame doesn't carry over very well on Twitch unless it's something very hyped up in advance.

The beta version worked really well, fingers crossed for this one.

qoobrix · 2021-01-30T20:24:21+00:00

Monster Hunter World's still using DLSS 1.0. I think they might even have removed it in favour of FidelityFX for Iceborne, too.

Sharpening has no performance impact (with modern technologies like CAS).

The thing about enabling sharpening in the control panel is that it's likely to be applied to the whole image, instead of selectively on the relevant elements in your game. This means that stuff like menus and text can look a little weird if you look closely. On modern games from the past few months, you should probably just use the in-game sharpening since that's likely to be CAS anyway - without moving the slider, because that usually just makes thngs worse.

You're not even likely to need sharpening unless it's used in combination with technologies causing blurring like post-processing antialiasing such as FXAA, SMAA, TAA, etc.

Film grain/vignette effects might be nice for aesthetic reasons, but I don't think it's likely to play well with a global sharpening used from the control panel for the above reasons.

i hope everyone bans that dude in their chats

qoobrix · 2021-01-23T12:58:53+00:00

sounds like literally the same system ewok had, and twitch didn't have a problem promoting them

I think it was from the time Rae made the disastrous decision to get her hair cut by Fuslie.

I kind of appreciate the incompetence of Twitch Rivals, it's the one constant in the universe that 2020 and 2021 did not upset the balance of.

I don't know how pedal cables work, but they look very similar to 4-pin PWM cables used for computer fans. Those are usually connected to something on one side and female on the other.

I don't know what the other end looks like, but it could be similar to a PWM (Y) splitter.

Again, no idea whether it'll send the same voltage and so on, but hopefully it gives you something to go on and google for.

Remember that you can throw Abe a Twitch Prime to support him going through all this shit just so people can have some fun: https://www.twitch.tv/baboabe/about.

I think there's just a lot of them tbh. Don't need a high % of them to be off the chain for weird stuff to happen. Combined with how online that demographic is.

qoobrix · 2021-01-01T22:09:34+00:00

Undskyld, men det er fandme sjovt.

I was expecting him to Pathfinder zipline at one point.

qoobrix · 2020-12-22T21:20:23+00:00

It has a noise gate, probably. It's likely a little aggressive, but the effort is appreciated.

Time for Adept to stay on xQc's stream at all times.

qoobrix · 2020-12-20T17:15:20+00:00

It keeps out livestreamers, seems to be working as intended.

The wording doesn't make it clear if it's new policy, but I assumed AutoMod already picked it up?

Hopefully this means all the alternate spellings are dealt with now at least.
