3700x Did I lose out for lack of patience?
GionnyBanana replied to kfukao's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Maybe in a month the Ryzen 3000 prices would have gone down like they did for Nvidia 20 series cards, but if you needed a better PC because your old one broke or was not up to the task then I see no fault in going with the available stuff. -
I can't wait to build my new rig! I hope that those AMD cards will shake up the GPU prices though, just in time for a price drop before I actually pull the trigger

MY PC MAKES WEIRD NOISES
GionnyBanana replied to Just paul's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
It could be the hard drive, or maybe there something in the fan that is making that noise? -
I was always a firm believer of trickle upgrades too: I would ask every birthday a piece of my rig to my parents (sometimes I got two because I got the uncles involved lol), but since I started working a year ago I stopped gaming, so I have my old system with an i7 2700K and no video card, because my 970 broke shortly after I started working. However now with the new things that are going to be released I am going to make a bulk upgrade for the first time in my life since I can afford it. I am so excited and I can't wait to try VR too!

Will you be getting a 3070 or XSX?
GionnyBanana replied to Helpful Tech Witch's topic in Graphics Cards
I want the 3080 to play on a really high refresh monitor at 1440p and to play VR with a Valve Index -
Nvidia gave us their internal tools… What could go wrong?

If you are going to get this as a consumer, how are you going to cable manage that? XD -
Hi guys, I am planning to build my VR PC around November with probably the new Ryzen 4000 Desktop (hoping it is released in time) and a RTX 3080 (or big Navi if AMD really surprises me). So I was looking into buying a Steam Index and on the website I see under the VR kit "New orders ship in 8 or more weeks.". Would you order it now to receive it maybe in time or would you look into some alternatives? I don't know about alternatives though, I want the best VR experience there is: that's part of the reason I am waiting to get the best computer possible, so that it can drive that headset effortlessly. Also, I would avoid any Oculus device entirely because Facebook, so I don't think I have much choice.

I too think that I will get 8/16 more likely than 4/8: I really want to get into VR, I tried beatsaber and superhot at a convention and I loved them. Unfortunately my PC does not even have a video card, so I am looking forward to the end of 2020 to finally build a nice rig.

Really? I guess everything is coming out at the end of 2020 so we will be able to compare green vs red at that point

I really hope at least some of these things will be true, I am waiting on building my next PC for this and Zen 3!!

Hi everyone! I am looking for a nice bluetooth headset (headphones or wireless earbuds) I can use with my computer, my laptop and my android phone. I had the Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum which had a dongle that would let me have high quality sound and use of the microphone, but it did not have bluetooth so I could not use them with my phone (and I had to move the dongle to use it in the laptop). I have come across a strange thing though now that I am looking for a replacement: every bluetooth headset I try works fine on my phone, but it is seen by Windows or Ubuntu as either an high quality audio sink or a headset with microphone. If I choose the audio sink mode I cannot use the microphone, while if I use the headset mode I can use the microphone but the audio quality becomes crap. Is this normal? Am I missing something? I tried the SteelSeries Arctis 3 and the Sony WF 1000 XM3 and had the same exact problem I described. Do I need to buy headphones with no mic and a separate mic or is there a more sensible solution? Maybe there are some headset which have a dongle but can also use bluetooth? Thanks, have a nice day TL;DR: new bluetooth headsets seems to have audio sink mode (high quality sound, no microphone) and headset mode (low quality sound, can use microphone). Why is that and can I have good audio and microphone input at the same time?

Deputy cop responds to noise complaint by joining jam session
GionnyBanana replied to Nine Tailed Fox's topic in Off Topic
I hope he is not being demoted for that, I think he is in the right, it's not like they were jamming in the night... -
what skills are you trying to obtain during quarantine
GionnyBanana replied to PurplDrank's topic in Off Topic
I'm building up upper body strength with a conveniently shaped and high enough beech branch I'm using as a pull up bar in my garden. I was using some better facilities nearby but those are not accessible... Anyway after a few months I can do things I would have dreamed possible in the past lol It isn't strictly something I picked up during quarantine but I have more time to train now for sure. -
jame's voice in the deathadder v2 video makes me uncomfortable
GionnyBanana replied to zassou's topic in Off Topic
Do you have this sensation in other videos? Or just this one? Maybe we can find a constant -
Folding on a laptop

That sounds like a good idea, thanks! I will keep updated on the upcoming events.
