#959 Post your setup in Off Topic
PendjiI'd fucking kill myself having to deal with a small desk. Even this feels claustrophobic.
Been trying to find USB speakers for ages, any suggestions?

v Because I generally don't want to dump too much money into it. It's literally just for whenever I'm not sitting down, and want to deafen the already graveyard-competitive silence of my apartment out. I don't have any speakers as is and I'd imagine the USB kind is cheaper regardless.

You could just get some dayton b652s + a lepai 2020a amplifier for under $70 and they'll be much better than whatever cheap/similarly priced USB speakers you'll find.

#6 I need a monitor! in Hardware
RhettroEoNAsus VG248QEcage-Benq XL2411Z
Explaining why would help a bit, but thanks for the suggestions =)

The benq has blur reduction (lightboost) built into the monitor and you can control colors still. The asus does not iirc so you have to use the strobelight app to control lightboost and you cannot adjust the colors during this. This is an issue because you'll see color imbalance with lightboost and that monitor didn't have great colors with lightboost enabled. You can also install a gsync module on the asus model as well I believe. So, for modding, the asus is better. For out of the box use, get the benq in this case. I'd still say research more though so you know your options.

#15 Seeking Networking Help in Off Topic

tbh I had the same issue for a long time (I would get ~700 ping during peak hours and ~400 ping during the day) due to my uni having insufficient bandwidth ($80/mo in IT fees to SHARE a 300mbit line with a few thousand students was horrible) and all that helped was badgering the head of IT (the ppl who managed funding) and sending them videos of how bad it was. Just recently, they finally upgraded and now I have been having stable ping and dl speeds this whole semester.

tldr: your uni probs needs more bandwidth and the likelihood they'll actually upgrade is slim. Unless they start doing some serious throttling on things like netflix etc (a lot of ppl in uni binge watch), you're not going to get any better.

What I did in the meantime was I played via my cell phone connection through tethering. I'd get ~80ping but it'd be stable-ish and still playable.

#12 Pc being a bitch in Hardware
ScrewballWhy would you buy a i7 and a gtx 980 and then cheap out on the PSU and then continue using the PC after it has had issues with said PSU?

Are you trying to break your new PC?

idk but the way OP sounds, he probably just got a prebuilt system and doesn't know that a bad PSU can ruin a whole system. Otherwise he would've replaced the PSU by now considering that no sane person would buy a $400 CPU and a $500 gpu and cheap out on a PSU. Plus, look at the title of the thread--he probably just didn't know.

#13 Steelseries Rival 700 in Hardware

this is a joke right

it's hard enough to hit shots without the mouse vibrating lol. Also the only time an lcd was actually useful on a ss mouse was the sensei so you could not have to use the drivers that ate up about as much memory as google chrome. While they weren't mopping up system resources, they were crashing.

#22 7 Gamers, 1 CPU -- a $30,000 Desktop Computer in Off Topic
KerchDave_i want to see tf2 benchmarks for this with 1 user (both cpus, all 7 gpus) with comanglia's config
TF2 is bottlenecked by single-threaded CPU performance, and I don't think it even supports 2 gpu crossfire let alone 4, so those Xeons would actually not perform that well. It would still get good FPS of course, but I reckon you could build a $500 i5 PC that would outperform it for TF2.

TF2 does utilize multi-GPUs and multithreading (not super well but it does). I remember having to play fullscreen to use a crossfire setup for good fps
