    Forza Horizon 5 Babbelbekkie

    Hmm? Less activity around here than in the FH4 days, that's a pity. As for me...the game was crash city. I sometimes crashed within seconds after loading into the game world, other times I'd at least get to drive a few meters, other times I could even make it to an event, heck it even crashed...

    Review Canyon GM-20 Puncher - Budget King and Clawgripper's Dream

    I like change so I'm constantly switching between my mice, give it 2 weeks then onto the next one. Still rock-solid though and actually better than it was in the beginning because it's less noisy now, but it hasn't been getting constant use either since this review so it could also be that I've...

    Review Canyon GM-20 Puncher - Budget King and Clawgripper's Dream

    Then you get shot for eating at the PC? No but seriously don't do that. Thanks to this little protective dome over the components I actually reckon you'd have more luck getting them out with a blower/compressed air can or even just a paint brush than most of the mice with holes out there.

    Not a single one. Even the wheel doesn't seem quite as inclined to squeak anymore.

    Review  Canyon GM-20 Puncher - Budget King and Clawgripper's Dream

    What if I told you that you could have all the fancy features of the top expensive gaming mice but unlike their price it would only cost you around half a grand (in ZAR)? But first a bit of story time. In 2019 a revolution in mice started with manufacturers making lighter and lighter mice which...

    G-Sync compatibilty

    Lets be honest, the SE2717H has such a terrible adaptive sync window anyways (FPS range in which adaptive sync applies) that it doesn't matter whether you will be able to use the technology or not. Just upgrade, more FPS is ALWAYS better than having a nicer sync technology than software VSync.

    Sigh. They really make me want oldschool Sonys though given Zeos was comparing the driver to Sonys And yeah I guess the MH751 are better, but they sure don't sound as exciting and they have a smaller driver.

    In addition to what @Deviation said the cable on the AD700x isn't removable so a possible failure point. I don't know about the 700x specifically but from what I've seen/heard the 2000x are treble monsters (without being harsh) and therefore not exactly bassy. A signature which I imagine the...

    Sigh...I apologise to anyone who got the Elite Atlas cuz I was raving about the them. The driver is stellar, yes....but rest...ewww. Eventhough I cleaned this as much I could before Christmas (not that I'm great at it) I was reorganising my headphones today and and the Elite Atlas has turned...

    Lol for me it's the other way round. 1.03 seemed glitchfree, then 1.04 ultra-bad and now after a quick 5 min 1.05 seems better again.

    I think I'm gonna join the shelving it for a while crowd. Still haven't gotten through to the second part of the game but just doing some side nonsense it's now gotten overly buggy for my liking. I might not see dead people but I sure as heck hear them. Busted into a garage for a reported...

    Considered sure, but imports suck so much these days. If some show up locally in still sufficiently good condition and I have the cash I'm definitely grabbing them. (though I think I actually want SHP9600 more, or HRs)

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I need to stop freaking dodging out of cover..... I have even changed keyboards away from my usual low profile one to my most resistant switch in the Ducky but I still keep doing it. Invested mainly in stealth so far but it's all pointless if I keep just standing up all the damn time.

    These are situations outside his testing I only listen to the guy because I feel he gives a more complete or easier to understand image than the others if you feel I rely on him too much or that he's a pompous ass, (I have checked them but just on sheer volume alone they can't compete and then...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Zero crashes on Steam as well so far but I haven't played much. Mainly just been benchmarking trying to find the right settings for me. I disagree completely with most of the stuff that DF vid said. LOD and AO make a huge difference to visuals, even the film grain as I said before (Chromatic...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    It looks good...but it doesn't look like Cyberpunk. Skin especially looks kinda sickly. If you ever think your contrast doesn't look quite right or something seems over shiny or under-shadowed make sure to turn Film Grain back on. It almost adds like a coat of detail. This isn't your usual...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Whatever you do when you are hunting for performance don't turn off the Film Grain setting. I did so shortly after starting and I've been wondering why my colours often look so off...the reason was the lack of Film Grain. So this is a game where you definitely leave the Film Grain and Chromatic...

    Monitor advice

    The AOC because it has better ergonomics and I can't find a FreeSync window for the Acer whereas the one on the AOC is decent, not great, but decent. Freesync is known to have a crappier window than GSync anyways.

    I like that they show off the switches. If I was going for purely aesthetics I actually won't mind an all transparent board showing off all the internals.

    So something interesting and I'm not sure why this is happening. The MH751 only has 40mm drivers. I think this is the reason I need to push it much harder than other stuff to get the same volume despite it being a no-amp easy to drive headphone. However somehow out of all my headphones this...

    Did you get sorted? If you are still looking it seems Dreamwaretech still had/has stock of the MH751. I just got mine delivered today. https://www.dreamwaretech.co.za/p/headsets/product/cooler-master-mh751-stereo-multi-platform-black-wired-gaming-headset/

    K361. Believe the hype. I have no idea how something this small produces this much sound. Without a doubt currently my best headphone...and possibly my comfiest too, well, one of the comfiest. With this, and the MH751 I also just got I'm good in headphone land for quite a bit.

    Man I really wish this game had a benchmark tool. Thought I had my settings dialed in and wanted to try out the Streetkid prologue but it turns out that's a much heavier ask from the GPU than Nomad. Neon and reflections are cool and all but it feels like when the new consoles were announced all...

    Well for one you can eliminate all the Cherry switches. That should already help a little. (Evetech has this keyboard btw, thought with less switch choices)

    Maybe check Zeos' review of the Sivga Phoenix and Emotiva GR1 as well as Harmonicdyne Zeus. Wish we had an easy way of getting the Zeus locally. I want those huge pads so bad, though not bad enough to pay our current insane shipping prices.

    Hmm, my settings are slightly different but that's cuz I was on 1440P. Can probably push things a little more now that I switched to my 1080P monitor.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    This game has made me switch monitors. Just for interest to see what 1080 was like I switched to my secondary monitor and the Quantum Dot in the CFG crushed my main (cheapass 32" VA panel), the increased level of contrast was like higher graphics settings all by itself. And I get another 20-30...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm guessing 40-50ish. Not stellar but somehow even dropping everything to nothing doesn't feel any faster. The game seems to have like a permanent motion blur no matter the FPS. Specs are no longer accurate btw. I keep not updating them but it's a 3600XT now that was being eaten by Steam...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Poor old 1080 can't do much anymore, dropped to Medium with one or two sliders moved back to high but even then it's a pretty and incredibly detailed game. Puts most other games even maxed to shame. I think CDPR pulled another Witcher 2 with this one. Similar to the Ubersampling that game had...

    As does Sennie clamp :P I decided to add another AKG to my "collection" after making that post. Should hopefully get here end of the week or early next week. No name yet, I wanna see what it's like first before I get judged (and no it's not in the K7XX family).

    Or you know he could just build a new keyboard when he wants new switches. I seem to remember reading something like that a few minutes ago. Yep, super eternal.

    Please stop investing in your keyboard for a few ticks and invest in a new monitor instead. That Samsung is older than the children of people on here that have children.
