  1. Reinstall did nothing unfortunately. Maybe helped a little at most. Still not getting what I should be.
  2. Used DDU to do a fresh install of the Drivers to no avail. I may just reinstall windows tomorrow.
  3. Evening guys. I'm currently having serious GPU underutilisation issues over the past few days. I fired Rocket League up as per usual and went to play and everything felt sluggish compared to usual. After checking with EVGA precision X I found out that my GPU usage is only 35-50% compared to the usual 100% or there abouts. My FPS in games like Rocket League has been halved and it's noticeable on my 144hz monitor. I've had stuttering issues alongside the underutilisation. Do not tell me to switch the 2500k out, it is still going strong and before the current issues I was getting a solid 144FPS in my major games, RL, OW, etc. Any suggestions guys?, I'd greatly appreciate it. Specs: i5 2500k 16Gb ram Evga 1070. Win7 Ultimate.
  4. I've personally played roulette with Dell about my U2713HM that I still have. The first I had from Scan.co.uk was very bad in terms of backlight bleed. The second I ordered direct from Dell (Silver version) turned out very nicely in terms of backlight bleed but one of my pixels died early on but since it's unnoticeable I can't be bothered returning it to play roulette again. Asus still need to step their game up regarding QC. Whoever is producing the panels needs a kick in the teeth as it isn't acceptable by either the supplier or Asus in the end.
  5. As someone who owns a rather large "Drone", I say good luck to an sort of bird of prey taking my TBS Discovery down, especially when it's spinning 15 inch carbon propellers at a few thousand RPM. Edit: I forgot to mention the example that they showed was a Toy grade Syma x8c, which by all accounts is a joke of an example.

    He's the only one that came to mind, not sure why you have to be a dick about it but hey. A decent simulator won't provide you with the actual experience but it's a compromise for people who are hardcore into Motorsport. A simulator can only provide so much in terms of realism as everyone is aware of. Also, you mentioned you wouldn't take DJ'ing advice from him when ironically he doesn't like to be referred to as one since he doesn't personally class himself as one.

    A lot of people just aren't getting it. Deadmau5 made a perfect point on something similar to this as he has a fairly expensive simulator himself, around 20k or so. If you have the money and you're into hardcore into Motorsport this will be perfect for you. What else can provide you with the ability to test any car on any track in the world whenever you want and for however long you want?, it may be over priced but it's worth it to the right person.
  8. It can be cheap. For around £200 you can pick up a very cheap setup. Which would be a 250 size + Full FPV, but if you don't have things on hand like batteries, a charger, etc it can get more and more expensive. I've put a lot of money into my TBS Discovery on spare parts, upgrades, etc.
  9. It's disorientating at first when I first started FPV. My setup just uses a cheap board camera and goggles, you may have used something that has head tracking which can track the movement of the users head and pan the camera this way, the cheapest solution for this is typical made up of 2 servos and the camera itself, with the logic board receiving data from the head tracking unit. The VR aspect I'm unsure about. There is a 3D set of goggles from Sykzone which is uses 2 cameras and technically 2 video transmitters but I didn't look into it much.
  10. I'd say this post is way behind current events. I have a Quadcopter, a 480 size TBS Discovery with full FPV and recording capabilities, but that's for a different time. "Drone" racing is becoming quite popular and the 250 scene is very popular. The first video is Charpue, if I spelt his name correctly which I highly doubt. He's a very well known pilot in the current scene. He loves his free style flying and acrobatics, etc. The racing scene is picking up very quickly and events are hosted all over the place, the "Underground" aspect of it sounds odd. It's a hobby. A lot of what we do is and isn't legal in terms of the output power of our video transmitters, our UHF gear, etc. I've rambled on but you'll get the picture. Everyone always brings the safety aspect into it since occasionally someone screws up and puts a dent into the hobby which is annoying to say the least. Most people are responsible and fly with a friend, acting as a spotter or a pilot themselves so it shouldn't be too heavily looked upon.
  11. You were right. In the updated version of AI Suite 2 there is a thing called Wifi Engine. Which I'm going to try and use.
  12. I tried that too but it wasn't great in terms of usage. It had to be left minimized and closing the window would close it out completely.
  13. I went through the processes of doing it through the command prompt. It works and it works great. But it did drop itself completely at one point and I had to re-enable it through the command prompt.
  14. Are either of these solutions permanent?, my computer seemed to drop the hotspot either when I locked it or whatever I did, I can't quite remember.
  15. I've currently put the Wifi module back onto my Maximus V Formula motherboard and would like to find a way of enabling the wifi and setting it up as a hotspot so that devices upstairs can access the internet through my computer. Do you guys have any idea of how I would go about doing this effectively?
  16. It's FPV, not VR. Just clearing that up.
  17. Adam only picked up GTA:SA for Trilogy runs really and I can't quite remember why the retail v1.0 is used over everything else.
  18. Most of them use the retail 1.0 version, and most people use the V 1.0.exe, but the whole matter is still silly none the less.
  19. Effort. What about the majority of runners that speedrun using the retail version?, reading up on it, it seems fine. It's still rather odd though, the whole matter that is.
  20. Wait wait wait, so Twitch have officially killed off the GTA:SA speedrunning scene now through Twitch.. Meaning Trilogy runs will now never happen, ruining marathons around this type of thing, also general speedrunners who run Any% for GTA:SA can't stream it anymore?
  21. Not entirely sure why they're doing this, there are an absolute ton of "Micro Quadcopters" out there under various names and various designs. It's nothing special by all means.
  22. I'm not really bothered about the hygiene aspect of it as I'm the only one that uses them, I'll give them a final clean tomorrow alongside the inner foam and see if that does anything.
  23. I thought about replacing them prior to me cleaning them, I guess the cleaning was short lived. I'll look into replacing them soon hopefully but they are pricey. £25 for a pair. I tried a few things but I guess I'll just replace them. £25 for a pair, direct from Beyerdynamic on Amazon, pricey but I guess I need them.
  24. After 11 months my Beyerdynamic DT990's have been giving me serious comfort issues to the point where my left ear becomes incredibly sore and has actually scabbed from my stubborness. Roughly a month or two ago I was having minor comfort issues and decided to clean my dirty ear pads out, they came out wonderfully and they puffed back up returning most of the comfort to them. Though as stated, recently they have gotten incredibly bad, is there anything I can do to relieve this, apart from selling them that is.
  25. Seems fairly decent, there are a lot of hobby grade cameras that use the GoPro format, mostly in the RC world and they range anywhere from £40-150 depending on the camera itself, but it is nice to see more cameras on the low end.
