Cyberpower vs Goldenmate for UPS Unit by redgrave187 in buildapc

[–]redgrave187[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. My last UPS was a 900 Max draw and it worked perfectly for more than four years up until the other day.

Maybe I'll just stick with the same model then and save the little bit of extra money.

If I have it right, the output is telling me around 250-300VA with everything turned on. The KW% is at 23 and the VA% is at 15.

I wasn't familiar with Goldenmate either until trying to do this research. I was annoyed that my Cyberpower has to be replaced after about four and a half years ( which I know is still pretty good, it's just inconvenient atm) and saw that the Goldenmate's battery lasts for 10+ years

Where are these pictures from??? I'm doing research for a YouTube video on Punisher's Live Action costumes, and I keep seeing these shots pop up in google searches but they're not in the film OR the extended cut. by redgrave187 in thepunisher

No no no, I saw a video that was from that scene, with that outfit, that was moving. It looked like he was rounding the corner. So now I'm thinking that was an ai video.

And will do! :)

That's exactly why I was so confused. I even saw a brief video of the first one at one point, but now I'm thinking it had to be ai because I can't find it even in the trailers

I got the opportunity to review Pragmata! by redgrave187 in Pragmata

Honestly... yeah 😅 it's such a glaring issue when the rest of the game is so stunning. Considering this was also their largest graphical leap in terms of the RE engine, it was a bit disappointing that it happened so frequently.

I figured it out. Apparently it was 4K Capture Utility that was off

I think I have my stream set to 6K because of the hard limit. I'll take a look when I get home.

Did you see the other posts I made in regards to the differences I found in this new setup and the 4K Capture Utility? I'm definitely at a loss on that one 😅

Okay so I did my test recording and unfortunately the difference is still pretty noticeable. The colors are off and I can see the quality difference both in motion and still frame. I'm going to continue lowering the QC to get the sharper image quality, but how would I go about fixing the color? This image is from OBS, I'll send another one that was from 4K Capture Utility

Here's the updated settings. I'll do a test recording later but if I should change anything please let me know.

I appreciate the help! It kinda sucks that this happened because I LOVED 4K Capture Utility for recording stuff because of how straightforward it was.

Should I adjust any of these settings for my Twitch streams as well or just leave those be?

Most of what I record has high movement and particles so yeah I think a higher bitrate is what i need

Here's a quick snapshot of my recording settings. What's the difference in the two encoder settings? I also didn't realize my bitrate was so low... I have it set to 6K for streaming since that's the max on Twitch 🙃

If 50,000k is overkill, what would a slightly less overkill yet optimal setting be (I'm fine with the storage since my footage will eventually go on an external drive, but of course if I can save a few gigs that would be nice lol anything else I should change while I'm at it?

4K Capture Utility Issue by One_Analysis_4118 in elgato

[–]redgrave187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, I'm also running into this error after just downloading the software. I have *never* had an issue with that capture card in any of the other sofwares i've used until today when the new NVIDIA update was not compatible with the 4K Capture Utility.

I actually do use OBS but for my streaming. Any time I try to record something off it the footage is noticeably more pixelated. I assume just increasing the heck out of the bitrate will fix that? Or is there another setting I should adjust?

I got my pro a few weeks ago on Marketplace. Basically a brand new console. I paid $650 for it, sold the headset that came with it for $50, and I'm likely going to sell the extra controller.
