So I watched this video and it was interesting because they had real numbers and testing on the two chips. Now it isn't anything emulation related just native android apps but I was surprised to see the G2 gen 2 being 30-100 percent faster in these gpu limited scenarios.

To me it makes no sense because in synthetics the 8 gen 2 a bit faster than the g2. And I know synthetics are not that accurate but they still provide a good idea so I would expect them to be around equal at best in the gpu department but clearly in native android apps this isn't the case. On paper the 8 gen 2 literally has double the shader units although they are clocked a bit higher on the g2.

looking at the die sizes the 8 gen 2 appears to be around 35 percent larger and built on the same node.

I wonder if it is due to just an optimization difference?

what have you guys done for replacing the o rings for the grow lights in terms of size and material

thank you

I found these two and they seem to get your face closer allowing more FOV while also lowering the overall weight. Has anyone tried them out how are the results?

I just got the psvr 2 coming from the quest 3. Sold my quest 3 some time back bc I wasn't using it and I just decided to get this since i really only do pc vr.

Instantly I noticed the binocular overlap being significantly better which was one of my big gripes with the quest 3.

It certainly isn't as sharp and it feels like there is a matte coating on the screen almost(im guessing mura?) which isn't amazing but overall it is a nice headset and I especially like the comfort even comparing to a modded quest 3.

Setup was super easy I heard some people had issues with bluetooth stuff but it went super smooth thankfully tracking is 10/10

I upgrade the audio with the koss kc75 and 3d printed adapter just bc I don't like using earbuds.

Anyways I was wondering if there are any things I should do in terms of setup and improving the experience.

Thank you

From my research it seems like Mini Marzano is what I am looking for? but idk just a ton of conflicting information online.

Thank you

I update my z890 gigabyte wifi 7 plus to the latest F5 bios(this is also called the f20 and f21 for other boards but similar update) previously I was on F5B and the results have been pretty bad my SA voltage which used to only need 1.33 for my memory now requires 1.39 for stability.

Pretty crazy Idk how that makes any sense. It is nice to have DLVR control but it isn't worth that cost. Please fix this gigabyte

Still haven't gotten secondaries back from Penn state and eastern virginia and I was verified around july 20.

lmk what you have mainly looking for $ though

I need help with ocing my 270k on this board I am really struggling.

In all the other z890 bios with adaptive voltage mode you get to set a max turbo on the E and P cores but that doesn't exist in this bios as far as I can see. Also for some reason it uses the P core max frequency on the 7th VF point for the e cores???? idk if that is a visual error or it is actually setting at that frequency but either way it is stupid.

So instead of using the adaptive mode they have this single core mode where you can set the E and P cores separately but then you can't set each point just the max voltage and an offset for everything.

Rn I am on 5.7 ghz all core for P core and 5.1 ghz all core on the E cores with power limited at 250W seems to be quite good silicon quality as I can get 5.7 all core on like 1.24V

Any tips if you have used this awful bios? I can't find out if I can even turn off Thermal velocity boost

also a more general question for all core ultra owners. Do you have adaptive for both E and P cores or maybe fixed E core voltage and adaptive P cores? just wondering what is best.

Reminded me of this subreddit lol

I have two keys for sale

These fans seem like insane value 45 bucks for the trio of 32mm thick fans but ofc thicker fans isn't always just better so I am wondering if Hyte has any numbers for the airflow and static pressure for these fans.

Im confused intel so far has had a very good track record of giving software support to older stuff like some of the older igpus without XMX cores getting access to xess 3 framegen.

However, ibot it seems is being limited to only the new plus arrow lake chips and panther lake.

im guessing there is a hardware reason why it can't be supported but I just don't understand what it could be as the arrowlake refresh is pretty much identical to older arrowlake except some stuff is overclocked.

just wanted to know before I go in bc my mbp has some screen and enclosure damage so I wanted to know if it is 100 bucks for both or 100 each

Just curious if anyone has any idea on how far you can push 2x16gb hynix a die or 2x24gb m die on a 4 dimm board. UDIMM memory

On my 9800x3d I could do 8400 mts on a 4 dimm(harder but got it stable) and 2 dimm so im wondering if I could get similar or ideally a bit higher on arrowlake

I picked up a 270k bc they are just going for so little and im going to sell my old raptor lake chip 14700k

Basically I just wanted to know how much of a performance loss it is.

I know that raptor lake is generally a little faster but I like the much better node and I may actually use the better xe cores(and I just like messing around with new parts). not to mention I already have a 9800x3d in another rig.
