Seriously though ... / Re: RIP Blunt
July 25, 2024, 08:05:21 PM
Really sad news.  I think Blunt was the first person I got chatting to when I discovered dMw (apart from my brother), he introduced me to CSGO.  He'll be sorely missed.

My condolences to you and the family.

If there's evening games I'd be interested but daytime might be tricky at the moment.

Technology Section / Soundcard / DAC opinions?
November 09, 2021, 06:16:13 PM
Thanks Chaos.  Motherboard sound would require a new case or some sort of drivebay panel, mine's a really old case (1997 ish full tower that started out with a DX2/66 in) but really easy to take apart and get at, unfortunately no front panel connectors for anything though.  I've got no objection to to external USB sound will probably go with that then.

The whole system's based round an i5-4440 from 2014 so probably due an upgrade soon anyway.

Technology Section / Soundcard / DAC opinions?

So it looks like the Xfi Titanium is on the way out (lots of crackling on all wire based outputs front and back, haven't checked the optical out but wouldn't be plugging headphones in there anyway).  It's an old PCI card donated by Carrot on one of his previous upgrades.

I've got a standing desk with a full tower underneath.  I was using the front drivebay panel to plug in and I'd need something similar with an internal replacement but it looks like USB DACs are more common now.  Is there still a compelling reason to get an internal card?  Any opinions / suggestions?

I'd ideally want something capable of driving surround sound speakers and a headset.  I was maybe looking at the Soundblaster X4.

Oh, I've played a bit with my youngest and quite enjoy it for a bit of a laugh.  I do tend to let the side down and have to be rescued rather a lot though.

Technology Section / Video Editing
June 08, 2020, 08:19:03 PM
My 16 year old not particularly techy daughter used VSDC Free to edit the video evidence for some of her GCSE stuff.
Resolve was the other option we were looking at but I think the learning curve for that was a bit steeper.

Glad I'm not there only one around here on an i5. Only got a gtx 950 with it but it copes ok on most stuff (apart from arma if there are too many extras loaded).
