    To add, by the way, HDMI 2.1 specification does indicate it can run 4K@120hz UNCOMPRESSED. That alone indicates that there's more bandwidth with HDMI 2.1 vs DP1.4. With a bit of stream compression, 144hz and 12 bit color are achievable on HDMI 2.1. My theory is that 4K@144hz 10 bit fully caps DP 1.4, even with DSC.

    My best guess is that yours already runs with DSC. It's not raw, uncompressed data. You're right that it seems weird that DP 1.4 couldn't handle 12bit color. Perhaps the way DSC was designed can't offer beyond it.
  3. HelloitsLuke
    I think you've completely misunderstood what DSC really is. It stands for Display Stream Compression, which compresses the outgoing data from your graphics card, and feeds the compressed data to your monitor. The bandwidth of DP 1.4 is fixed. On paper, HDMI 2.1 has 48Gbps of throughput, while DP 1.4 has 32.8Gbps. This disparity is what bars DP 1.4 from delivering 4K 144Hz raw from your computer, and resorts to both the 120hz limiter as well as chroma subsampling. To put it short, DSC does NOT increase bandwidth, but rather compresses the signal to FIT the allowable bandwidth.

    PCIE Gen 4 is just a PCIE generation standard. Similarly, M.2 is just a form factor. Whether or not the drive is made for PCIE Gen 4.0 or not should be noted in the SSD's quick specifications. But since they're both NVME, at the very least they're PCIE 3.0 compliant.

    Perhaps this thread can help you

    From your notes: 1. Ryzen as a standard encourages you to run 3200Mhz as it gives the baseline performance metric.Anything above is consider an OC, but most modern boards have xmp profiles for it no problem. Nothing too big! For your concerns: 1. 850W is more than enough, don't be startled. What matters is how much current you can pull out from your 12V rail since this is where your GPU pulls power from, so may want to check the vendor's specifications for that. 2. Use your HDD for mass storage of already completed work while you use your SSD's for scratch disk/ongoing projects. HDD makes noise because of the mechanical parts which is normal, but otherwise nothing to fret about. 3. Unless you're running PCIE Gen 4.0, it won't really matter. Besides, NVME usually takes chipset lanes, anyway. 4. May want to hit up amazon/ local e-tailer for the specific make 5. CL18 to CL16 isn't too big of a notice unless you're in games, in which CAS latency can make performance different. Overall build seems pretty good, although quite overkill. But I assume you already have your other equipment/software on hand already, this is more than plenty to last you a long time. Good luck!

    Thanks for the suggestion! Actually thinking about it, I don't actually actively play a huge amount of games at any given time, but I do keep quite the amount of movies.

    Funny you mentioned china because TSMC WILL have fabs in China! Sauce: https://www.eetimes.com/tsmc-applies-to-build-wafer-fab-in-china/ https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/China-tech/China-hires-over-100-TSMC-engineers-in-push-for-chip-leadership

    TSMC does have back-end facilities in Hsinchu back in Taiwan. Although it is very much possible that they outsource the back-end to a nearby facility in the US, as you mentioned Intel/GlobalFoundries.

    Thanks for your insight! I was thinking about it as well if I were to stack so much files that I'd need the 4TB storage. I'll give this a thought again. Yeah, ever since I got an SSD I never tried to look back. I heard the QVO might not be as great as their TLC/MLC counterparts, but still way better than the HDD. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hello there. I studied quite a bit of microelectronics and also work at a semiconductors company: To answer your question simply: TSMC does up to the packaging and bare level testing, while AMD/Nvidia/Apple do their own separate testing Longer answer: In the semiconductor process, there are what's called the front end and back end processing. Wafer making, doping, etching, and polishing are some of the front end processes, which TSMC does. To note: TSMC does not make any designs, noting them as a "pure-play" foundry. Their customers, like AMD, are what's called a fabless company, because they only design and let TSMC do all the labor (apart from final testing). Things like dicing, bonding, packaging, assembly and testing are processes in the back-end. Once the wafers have undergone all the front-end process, companies typically outsource their back-end process elsewhere called OSAT. But since TSMC is such a large conglomerate, they have their own back-end factories back in Taiwan. To summarize, the fab in Arizona is most likely a front-end fab and the wafers are shipped back to Taiwan for cutting, assembling and testing, then to their respective customers for final verification as chips.

    Hello! I recently just bought a new computer and I was looking to get some additional storage. I'm left with two options that have a similar price. My current PC Specs are as follows: Ryzen 7 3700X Asrock X570-A Pro 16GB DDR4 2933 Mhz RTX 2080 Super 750W 80+ Gold PSU Current Storage 1: 500GB Phison M.2 NVME SSD I'm currently leaning towards two options: 1. 1TB Samsung QVO SSD 2. 4TB HGST 7200 RPM Hard drive. What I plan to do with said storage: 1. Steam Library (Any game that doesn't really need fast load times) 2. Media Storage from time to time At this time I can only choose one, but I do plan to buy the other down the line. Which should I prioritize for now? Any help/insight will be appreciated!

    I'm just trying to replicate this packet to get the same checksum. However I am not able to product it. My question is: It is correct that I only use the data bytes as the CRC input, yes? If so, in what order(as is or reverse bit order)? Same with the CRC16, do I send it lower half first then upper half next?
  14. HelloitsLuke
    the residual is the polynomial after the byte has been parsed through the source code provided. Although I am not sure if I should be inverting and reversing bit-order for every data byte I send, or do I just take the residual after the CRC bits have been parsed as well.
  15. HelloitsLuke
    Yeah I've been reading this. But say that I'm sending only 1 byte at a time but I have a payload of 8 bytes, how do I know the proper CRC to send? Do I invert and reverse the bit order on every byte, or do I only do it once the actual payload has been delivered?

    Good day. I'm currently working on making a USB protocol for my project. As said in the USB 2.0 specifications, data packets should be properly protected with a CRC checksum. I've used a bit of online code generators for CRC16 but never really understood how to interpret the results because the USB specification only mentioned getting a certain residual to properly decode the packet. I am kind of lost on what to do to get the proper CRC residual: crc_testv2.v Here's the code I've been working with. My questions are: How do I generate the proper checksum from the residual result? Or should the latest residual result be the CRC16 checksum I should output? How many bytes should I be sending through my transceiver (assuming that it only sends 1 byte at a time) worth of CRC checksum?

    Hello there everyone. I have currently owned a Razer DeathAdder Elite for almost a year now. I really like the mouse since I feel comfortable using it and overall a good choice for both my FPS/MOBA needs. My main concern is: Once I transitioned to Synapse 3, I saw no option to save to the on-board memory. Was this feature removed on purpose? If you guys found out how, do you mind teaching me about it! Thanks!
  18. HelloitsLuke
    I definitely am! I'm gunning for high FPS: For PUBG I'm averaging around 100-110 FPS on Low settings + High Viewing Distance For Overwatch I'm well above 144 FPS I've only tested these games so far. And yes I can say I am happy with my purchase Although it was on the tad bit expensive cuz hardware here is generally expensive ($320)
  19. HelloitsLuke
    Have purchased an RX 580! Thank you for your suggestions
  20. HelloitsLuke
    Nah GPU's are expensive af here. the RX 570 cost roughly the same amount as the GTX 1060
  21. HelloitsLuke
    Current PC Specs: i5 8400 Z370 PC Pro 250GB Samsung 850 Evo 1TB WDC Blue 16 GB DDR4 2666 Corsair What is the wiser option if I intend to play these games: Overwatch PUBG Warframe Maybe some AAA games along the way PS: I have a 144hz 1080p Freesync monitor and I don't plan to upgrade this anytime soon

    [ FIXED] Solution: Tried the installer on another USB, worked flawlessly.

    Update 10:41 AM GMT+8: Memtestx86 reads all pass. Will attempt to redo the bootable for the nth time
  24. HelloitsLuke
    I'm running Memtestx86 for now and will check back with results. I hope that eliminates possible variables.
  25. HelloitsLuke
    I did check and all the connections seem to be working
