i know what BFI is. but i'm asking how important is it? without being able to use it myself i just don't know how much it matters. how do i know if i like it? i tried visiting a local pc gaming center but they didn't have any BFI monitors. maybe best buy would have one on display? but i couldn't really play anything on it.

i'm in the market for a gaming monitor. i play competitive fps games. how important is BFI? from what i gather it improves motion clarity a lot, but, how important is this? i understand the difference between 60hz and 144hz, 60hz is almost unusable. what difference would you say BFI makes? do all pro gamers use BFI? do any pro gamers use BFI? it's hard to find information about it. thanks. (BFI is also known as ELMB, ULMB, DyAc, MBR, LightBoost, Aim Stabilizer)

i don't think so. i tried like literally 10 cables until i found one that worked. all of these 10 cables work perfectly fine for charging a phone or whatever. for me it's been really rare to find a cable that'll work for my ps4 controller

when i plug my ps4 controller into anything it doesn't hold a charge. unless i use 1 specific usb cable i have, then it works perfectly. how do i know what cables work with a ps4 controller? i'm trying to buy a new cable for my 2nd controller but yeah... idk. anyone know?

i found this random 4 year old video of a portable 27" monitor. i assume it's only 60hz. but are we all sure something like this doesn't exist at like 120hz? i think i'll find it if i look hard enough

i've never had a good experience with a gaming laptop. they're so terrible and experience. the keyboard and trackpad is worthless, so you have to use your own keyboard and mouse anyway. i bought a 3090 for $600 on ebay. i just want to use that. i use the 24gb of vram for generating AI art. idk laptops are just so bad .-. i can travel with my small form factor desktop computer np. only the monitor is a problem to travel with

i agree except i'm also very confident there's some random gaming monitor out there that happens to be very thin and light. maybe that combined with some portable Vesa mount stand and problem solved

portable monitors are too tiny. desktop monitors are too bulky and heavy. i think what i'm looking for is a desktop monitor that's lightweight. 20-24 inches. the size isn't much of a problem for me, i'm traveling with a suitcase. it's mostly the weight and bulkiness of the stand that's a problem when traveling. this is very hard to find though! people don't tend to talk about desktop monitors bulkiness. ROG Strix XG17AHPE looks like a pretty cool monitor. the stand seems good and very easy to travel with! but only 17 inches and $600 o:

i don't know why my NAS was broken. but the solution to read the data off the drive was to install linux and run these commands https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/558036 i was able to mount the drive with all the correct data

interesting idea, but didn't seem to work or change anything. i ran this and restarted the computer `Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol`

i have an old linkstation duo. when i download the software for it, it kind of works. i see the nas, i see 400gb used of 1tb. typing its IP in the browser shows a working web UI. but i can't "map the drive" to windows explorer. just throws errors about "create a folder named Share first". anyway, i thought i could just take out one of the drives since it's raid 1 mirrored, and just read the data. but this doesn't work? when i plug in 1 harddrive to my pc it shows 5 drive letters, all of them unformatted. how do i read the data off this thing?

i just want to buy a harddrive that my family can use to backup/share files on. is there like a harddrive enclosure that can just plug into my router via ethernet? i'm not too concerned about having multiple drives for redundancy. i'd be surprised if that doesn't exist... but if it doesn't, is the solution just to use an old laptop as my NAS? can i do this just using windows to share a drive on the network? i don't need a fancy linux server

the video was set to private. i was also behind, idk what happened

can we get a stable diffusion benchmark please and thank you!

dang i stand corrected. i knew "shader/cuda cores" was a marketing term. there's not 10,000 of anything resembling a core on gpus, but i thought it had more basis in reality than that

no... 4090 has 16,000 shaders vs 10,000 shaders in the 3090. plus 4090 is clocked higher. its raw basic rasterization is probably about 75% faster just based on specs, ignoring architecture improvements... that said i don't understand the AI tensor core part at all, which is why i asked this question.

hello, any AI devs know how much faster a 4090 should be than a 3090 for stable diffusion? can it use the extra tensor cores? i'm assuming it scales better than just the 75% faster in gaming?

gtx 1070. old but stable computer, never had an issue before. i was running AI art software Stable Diffusion and i guess pushed my gpu too hard? it just died? i can hear my computer boot up. just not video out. unless i use the onboard graphics. anything i can do before i sell it as a dead gpu?

modem to pc is very fast. modem to router to pc (ethernet) is very fast but i think has more spikes in ping. is there a way to split the modem connection to give my pc a more direct and prioritized connection? is there a network switch with like 2 outputs, 1 max priority that goes to my gaming pc, and 1 lower priority that goes to the wifi router? i'm considering buying TP-Link TL-SG105 because it's cheap and seems good. but i don't see why that'd be any faster than the switch inside my current router (Google Nest Wifi Router) (and i'm not sure if that'd even work) the first block of ping times is direct modem connection. the 2nd block is ethernet through my router. noticeably more spikes in ping times

it randomly fixed itself. after about a week. i don't think i did anything. if this happens to you, good news is it's just some software bug

idk what -current means. but it also happens with Telegram. only telegram and handbrake cause this so far. maybe if i find more software that triggers the issue it would give me a better clue as to why it's happening

brand new bug, seemingly for no reason. can't find any information about it. 165hz monitor. when i open handbrake, my monitor goes to 30hz for about 5 seconds, also the screen brightness flickers a bit. then it'll go back to 165hz. if i unfocus the window it fixes instantly, if i tab back it's 30hz again for 5 seconds. same thing happens with telegram only when i click to view the larger version of an image. edit: i just made an obs recording of the issue but the framerate drop isn't present in the recording! not sure what that means

no it would be online ip backups. basically copying, but with version history and encryption so my friend can't read the files. i don't really care what the format is. duplicati makes really good backups. that's what i'm currently using. if i could just get that to target/upload to my friend's pc that'd be perfect

looks like syncthing does have file versioning. so it might work. i'll try it out

i found many syncing solutions. syncs aren't backups. if you get ransomeware it'll overwrite your backup with encrypted files
