  • Creative labs made shit audio chips, at least post isa, they never figured out pci at all. Haven’t forgiven them for killing aureal either.

    Turtle beach was quality, but overpriced and they completely focused on the pro market after a while, ignoring gaming.

    Realtek makes garbage, I always bypass it with a good USB DAC (fiio usually) because the mobo manufacturers always route lines so it buzzed when the GPU started using power.

    You are right that they killed the market, but only for people who don’t care, and you can pick up a banging used mellanox for cheap that gives you excellent sriov.














  • Vvc is h266, the spec is ready it’s just not in a lot of hardware, or even decent software yet, that often takes a few years. The reference implementation encodes at like 1fps or less, but reference software is usually slow as hell in favor of correctness and code comprehension.

    Av1 isn’t much better than hevc (h265), it’s just open and patent free and Google is pushing it like crazy.

    It has iirc 1 major feature over hevc, non-square subpictures, beyond that it has some extensions for animation and slideshows basically.
