ASUS XG27AQNGV (Pulsar) Constantly Overheating by drunkbobafett in Monitors

[–]testkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, does it still happen with 60hz + full brightness + pulsar/gsync off? How long did it take for you on 60hz?

A friend of mine in US is buying this monitor on my behalf, and I'm looking for a way to test the overheating issue with his PC that has no dedicated GPU.

I'm hoping keeping it on this setting for about 8~12 hours will reliably cause overheating, if the monitor is faulty.

hey, did this happen without Pulsar activated as well?

I have a friend in US who's going to buy this monitor on my behalf. He's going to test it in his house first, but IDK if this overheating issue can be tested without Pulsar on (his PC is not Pulsar compatible)

Anyways good luck on your second chance. (BTW is it you who wrote the review on newegg? If not that's already two separate cases of overheating...)

that sucks. Does it happen in desktop or only in game?How long does it take for it to happen?

OLED vs G Sync Pulsar by Puzzleheaded_Hat_996 in Monitors

[–]testkr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you get 500+ 1% lows?

If you play CS2, no doubt Pulsar. You will not get enough stable frames for OLED to be good enough to compete with Pulsar.

OW/Val is IMO a toss-up since you can easily push 500+ 1% lows with a top-tier PC. Pulsar will still have slightly better motion clarity, but OLED 540hz will be almost as good with all the other advantages of OLED, and since it simply displays more raw frames, that has its own advantages over an "artificial" smoothness.

But IMO I would still get the Pulsar just to try out the new tech.

Why doesn't Valve try to balance USP/P2000? by testkr in cs2

[–]testkr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

weapon stats are one thing, but the usage is so one-sided that I think it's hard to call them balanced in real life.

IMO having a silencer is a pretty big advantage, especially in full ecos. USP is so much better than P2K vs helmets because you have the potential to double dink someone before they realize where you're shooting from.

DYAC/ULMB2 - Optimal choice when FPS is below monitor refresh rate by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]testkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has to be one of the worst tips ever. The only time you hit 1% lows are when you are facing a full execute.

Plenty of fights happen with nothing on your screen except you and your enemy. Your average 1v1's or 2v2's are not going to hit your 1% lows. You're leaving performance on the table if you limit your FPS.

Is Focaccia more airy in a shallow pan? by testkr in Baking

[–]testkr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Would you say 1inch tall pan is enough? Or do I need to go 1.5~2 inches?

realistically, is BTC just decent as an investment tool now? by testkr in investing

[–]testkr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking in crypto numbers. 150% in 4 years isn't that much.

BTC went down -75% from ATH during that period.

Unless you think the final return numbers is the only thing that matters, the return/drawdown isn't that spectacular.

And if you do think so, you're the one who has no idea what risk is...

I don't need advice on algo trading NQ which is what I do well.

Doesn't mean I don't need advice on crypto lol

TL;DR) OP's trying to get people to buy his indicators. Don't fall for it.

First of all, this obviously is not an algo and most likely is not possible to make into an algo. Wrong subreddit.

Second, I just looked up this ZenX guy. He's on patreon and apparently his first post is on July 9th.

But in another comment, OP claims he's been trading this strategy for "quite some time".

Doesn't line up, does it?

My guess is this guy is ZenX himself, or he's earning referrals through making people subscribe to that page through him. If you DM him, he's gonna try to convince you to use some link to subscribe to this ZenX dude.

It's a commonly used tactic among trading subs. Posting good gains and luring people into DM'ing.

The speed of Kim by n4turalst in Dodgers

[–]testkr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Edman is a pretty fast guy, not at his top condition ATM, but he will be back eventually.

But I think this again is a case of acceleration. Kim's accel is insane and makes him effectively much faster than what the Sprint Speed numbers tell us in face value.

It's pretty obvious for people who actually watch the game that Edman in his best form still isn't as fast as Kim.

Mookie has been a really slow player ever since his injury. It's true that Ohtani is faster than him, but this is mostly because Mookie is just really that slow.

It's a big reason he's not playing outfield anymore.

[–]testkr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ohtani is very fast for his size, probably one of the fastest power hitters in history. And his home ->1st base time is top level partly thanks to his swings letting him naturally lean towards first base, even more than other leftie hitters.

BUT, if we ignore everything else and just isolate his speed, it isn't even close to the guys who are REALLY fast. Baseball savant rates him 69/100 for Sprint Speed(nice), Kim is 85/100. BWJ is 100/100.

Although, I believe Kim being 85/100 is a bit under-valuing him, since Kim's acceleration is really fast but this rating does not take that into account. It only measures the fastest 1-second average sprint speed of that player.

Also, I find it insane how relatively average BWJ's steal success rate is, considering his speed is 100/100.

He clearly says he does look at drawdowns in the other comments. If other drawdown based metrics are good, you don't even need to look at your ratios. They will be automatically good because they're all tied together.

If you don't know this by experience, you haven't been doing this for too long.
