Quoting: F.Ultrapiper/libratbag

If I am to be brutal it's just not up to the task for keyboards, Yes it can do the RGB but very basic, Openrgb is demonstrably better. thing with the g915 after 5 mins or so it reverts back to it's default profile.

Regards the actual Keyboard, piper is just not up to it. At the end of the day piper was/is aimed at mice.

Quoting: F.Ultraedit: Missed that support for G915 was new in this version of OpenRGB so don't know if support is better or worse in OpenRGB vs Piper.

I've ran the git on both for some time.

Just to clarify I AM NOT BASHING piper, It's purely aimed at mice and only recently branched out into keyboards from what I can gather.

Thanks for the info. Who knows, all of a sudden perhaps OpenRGB is also the better choice for mice. As of now the work is way to fragmented over piper, openrgb and the one for razor mice (that also have added support for logitech mice of course...) so we have to see if there is one that becomes the defacto standard or if there simple always will be multiple solutions.

Quoting: pete910The G915 is very buggy on *nix, Due to the fact Logitech thought it would be a good idea to NOT use the onboard memory by default for the profiles ect. Just a FYI the keyboard itself works fine, its the lighting/profiles thats not.

I did setup a vm to use Ghub, What a peace of crap that is. For some weird reason if you set it to onboard mode it greys out most of the options :cry:

May have been spoiled by my roccat gear as that worked flawless due to the roccat-tools ect. :sad:

Sorry all , rant over!

Yes GHUB is one large piece of crap. Have you tried piper/libratbag? AFAIK they should have LED support for the G915 (despite the name they handle Keyboards as well).

edit: Missed that support for G915 was new in this version of OpenRGB so don't know if support is better or worse in OpenRGB vs Piper.

Quoting: axredneckCan you add "VRAM amount" ?

Wouldn't GPU model tell you that?

Nope.

As in i use a GTX 1050 mobile, which has 2 versions. One with 4 gb vram, other is with 2 gb vram and that is the only difference.

GTX 1050 desktop only has 2 gb vram model so things are clear there.

Isn't that GTX 1050 Mobile vs GTX 1050 Ti Mobile?

No?

GTX 1050 Ti mobile are all 4 gb vram, GTX 1050 Mobile has 2 variants, one with 2 gb vram, other with 4 gb vram.

Ok, I have only seen 2GB versions of the 1050 Mobile so I assume that the 4GB one is quite rare?

Quoting: MohandevirCP2077... You're finally mine! :grin:

You sure it's ready yet? :wink:

I'm about to find out. :grin:

Also fell for the temptation now with the sale and all, and it works way better on my old RX480 than I would have ever thought. So far only 2h in but everything seems fine for now.

The only issue is that alt-tab doesn't work at all.

Merry Yuletide, tomorrow when the Yule Goat comes I hope you all have been good (no Windows dual boot)!

Quoting: slapinHow come early access launch can fail?

I would assume that early access is both important for feedback and funding. That Kickstarter funding alone doesn't last long with team of 35.

Less than £6000 per person, that would be roughly one month pay for a highly skilled dev over here. Yeah that won't last long.

edit: and the studio is really from "over here" as well.

Quoting: LoftyWhat this small list of games show is that you don't need a mega expensive GPU to enjoy quality games.

And Honestly it's not all that bad in some ways, If we keep seeing this as a trend then we can expect some really creative titles to come out that run on lower spec systems that optimize and take advantage of the existing power available.

Not to be too tangential, but I've felt, for several decades now (maybe since Windows became the OS for most people) that there's been a loss to the art of optimization. As our technology gets larger (in storage, not size) and faster, I hear a lot more developers (game developers, especially) kinda shrug off optimizing in many areas because "space is cheap". While I understand that mindset, I just wonder, if developers still nickel-n-dimed every bit and byte of their code-base like they used to with 8-bit and 16-bit machines of yester-year, how much more we might actually be able to pack into our games today!

Just look the first game of any console generation and compare it with the last game of any console generation. In general the hardware doesn't change, but the latter games tend to be far more sophisticated than their initial counterparts. So many optimizations to processes and compression of resources to produce greater effects with the limited hardware! Imagine if we kept up with that mentality!

I know this is an oversimplification, but I still wonder...

Well the answer, as usual, is both yes and no. On the one hand, yes many devs today are lazy and use frameworks that are layers upon layers upon layers. But on the other hand, modern software also have to move a LOT of more data around than what we used to do back in the 8-bit days, on the C64 we could rewrite the entire screen by writing just 1000 bytes while a modern 4K screen requires 35389440 bytes for the same operation, and then you have to do geometry calculations (since 3d), light tracing and so on and on.

Quoting: denyasisYep, had a knock off of the 1996 Microsoft mouse from beack then, IBM actually.

Also had a 1980's mouse... Basically was the IBM one pictured but with one large central button. Not sure on the brand, Leading Edge maybe.

Right up there with the Microsoft sidewinder 2 button joystick that plugged into the soundcard, iirc. Lol.

Ah yes a Game Port, usually came on Sounds Cards since it could double as a MIDI interface :)

Quoting: ArehandoroThe design is directly from 1989.

For us that where around in 1989, they did not look anything like this. They looked like this:
!Microsoft Mouse [External Link]




That slight bend that this one and all modern mouse have is from 1996, first mouse with a scroll wheel also came out 1996 (because it was the same one):
