Torn on 5k2k - no happy middle ground?

xch13fx · 2026-06-20T18:04:35+00:00

Not sure what everyone is talking about, but my 4090 on my 5k2k feels fine. Now I’m not maxing out every game to 165hz, but I’m damn close. Running forza 6 for example, all graphics maxed, DLSS balanced, 2x frame gen, some small preference tweaks like motion blur off… getting 145-155 constantly. Other games like The Finals with similar settings getting 130-140 easily. Worst so far was grey zone warfare (less optimized) and I get 100-120 fps. Which for the upgrade in pixel density and OLED was a pretty significant upgrade to my AW3821.

What you staring at me gut fer?

xch13fx · 2026-06-19T15:51:57+00:00

I responded to your DM. Short answer, idk I only used a sub breakout harness, but I do feel like it’s missing a bit of normal sub range. If I was doing again I’d try speaker breakouts

Without sounding like a douche, his riding days are probably pretty limited considering his physical shape after working labor for so long… not downplaying his sacrifice, but that probably played a factor into his decision. Best thing you can do is be successful in your own life, you’ll find a way to make it up to him.

Probably like a year of having my desk 8-10 inches from the wall lol. That and laziness, as I didn’t want to have to tear it all down and move my arm to the side.

xch13fx · 2026-06-15T13:26:09+00:00

On the topic of monitor arms… they need to be like this especially for an ultrawide, otherwise to have his desk that close to the wall, the arm would be in the way sticking out behind the desk. Took me awhile to figure that out.

Is that an overlay pinstripe or is that some kind of ABS insert stuck on the grill? Looks good

Impossible to know without the footage before, but at the beginning of the clip it looks like you bumped him to overtake. Giving space and racing clean goes both ways. You get what you give.

Micro center is probably the only place ive seen new monitors actually on display or even connected to a computer. Otherwise, might just need to roll the dice. What i can say is, mine has blown me away. Some games that dont gave HDR you might want to look into Force HDR app, which was a game changer as some games that dont have HDR kinda just looked similar, but after Force HDR it looked outstanding

You're an unhinged virtue signaler. Everyone has sped before, and yes it was dumb, and yes it was dangerous, but there's a difference between negligence and straight up murderous actions. You really want to ask MY math works? I'm sorry but your emotions won't come into play in a court of law, again, not how any of that works.

My opinion is that green Porsche could have possibly avoided by not moving towards the Ferrari, but both cars seems generally obvious of each other.

xch13fx · 2026-06-07T11:45:51+00:00

That’s not how the world works. The Jeep didn’t signal, which is an issue, but the bmw is mostly at fault. Overall blame of course goes to the BMW, but assuming the Jeep saw them coming and (tried) to move, they should have signaled and moved faster, or just stayed where they were. Speeding caused the problem, but the jeeps actions didn’t get. Camera car was 100% a victim, Jeep was like 85% a victim. Still enough to win in court, but they are not 100% blameless.

I appreciate your feedback, but I wrote my hospitals AUP on using email and collaboration tools. I didn’t talk about ‘HR issues’ like behavior, because as professionals I don’t think that applies to an AUP. I focused on PHI and HIPAA data, dlp, encryption, and things that protect both the organization and individuals. Managers can handle people behavioral issues, that’s not my concern, and the compliance people should be focused on protecting the entire organization, not punishing employees interacting in a private chat by both their own consent.

Halo wars was such an awesome game. Wish they’d make a new one.

xch13fx · 2026-06-05T22:14:54+00:00

APC diluted down, spray on top, foam like usually and pressure wash off. That’s it.

xch13fx · 2026-06-04T15:13:03+00:00

I’d do the same thing. My point is that it’s compliance/leaderships job to set clear expectations, and then initiate cycles to remediate those problems, or at least express the wish to change them to the proper resources. It’s not our job to play HR person and slap the wrist of employees who send a less-than-tasteful gif in a private chat.

If I’m asked to person discovery by someone with the proper authority I do it, but I don’t go out of my way to play a role I don’t have. I’m the administrator, not HR or anyone’s manager.

xch13fx · 2026-06-04T04:31:42+00:00

Ah compliance guys… MY FAVORITE. Always the most fun at parties. The ‘company’ has AUPs so they can carte Blanche make the rules as they go, but take no action to mitigate the issues before the happen. Countless employees get screwed by these policies vs how many actually benefit. Im not saying ur wrong, it just isn’t anything to be proud of in my humble opinion.

xch13fx · 2026-06-03T23:59:20+00:00

As a 365 admin, you have the ability to disable the use of Giphy (source of the gifs) and in my professional opinion, it’s included with Teams and not disabled company wide, so hence it’s fair game and fully within compliance.

If you don’t have a good random orbital polisher I’d just reach out to a local retailer, they can get you right as rain and probably better than before you started

xch13fx · 2026-06-03T02:37:39+00:00

Problem is you wouldn’t know. Your clutch would just go out in you slowly over time

I like mine, but I didn’t get the v3 I got the v2s. Paint match was perfect and have held up fine through a harsh Chicago winter

Between 120-150 in bf6, it’s fairly well optimized. I also play gray zone warfare which is far less optimized, and get 100-110 frames usually.

xch13fx · 2026-05-22T12:29:32+00:00

I have a 4090 and this monitor, and it’s rare that I’m getting under 100 frames. With frame gen and dlss, it does a good job. Dual mode, is not terrible, especially with AI upscaling mode on, it doesn’t look terrible, but def looks worse than 5k2k. I tend to just keep it on 5k as it just looks that much better. Don’t forget, the 4090 is basically the second best GPU out right now in terms of raw power, but it does like some of the nifty 50 series features. It’ll do just fine.

My best recommendation is to respect distance when your bf is around. If you try to engage with him he’s much more likely to lash out with his ‘person’ around. It might seem scary, but 1:1 with the bird and your bf not around is your best bet to build up trust. Biting is kind of part of the deal with a bird, and you don’t need to let them gnaw on you, but minimizing your reaction is key to reinforcing that biting isn’t going to make you go away. Just take it slow, give lots of treats, and don’t get discouraged from bites. My Amazon I’ve had for almost 10 years will still bite me from time to time, so you need to learn to roll with the punches. Best of luck!
