i always find myself having one side of my headphones off my ear, idk why but having that ear open so i can hear my keyboard and voice makes me play so much better.
Lots of hi fi headphones are open back so you get plenty of ambient sound.
Wow,i thought i was the only one
Get a headset with mic monitoring and you can hear everything
same i have it only on my right not my left
@@pncampbellsecond this! try out the DT770s. had them for 4+ years
0:53 any open back audiophile headset with an amp/dac would be a better choice with 3D equalizer ofc
marrentm's setup is goated!💪
Me too with the keyboard and I think it’s cos it’s calming and helps with timing
This is a sick idea for a video marren
i seem to have trouble with a few points mentioned in the video, not because i dont agree with them personally but because some are objetively wrong.
Changing your HDMI cable to a DP wont make a difference AS LONG AS you were running the right HMDI cable, in addition to the right hardware in the first place.
Its important to check what version of HDMI your GPU and Monitor support to make the call you made. Saying that DP will "feel better" is simply, im sorry to say but, bullshit. HDMI can easily do 240Hz - a quick websearch shows that HDMI 2.0 already supports up to 18Gbps (Gigabytes per second). What does that mean some of you might ask? In the end it all comes down to the supported transferrates of the cables and hardware in comparison to the transferrates needed to run 240hz on 1080p for example.
Heres how to calculate that for all the geeks that want to doublecheck my statement...
Transferrate = Amount of Pixels (in this case 1920*1080) * Bitdepth (usually 24bit) * refreshrate (240hz for this scenario)
Transferrate = 11.934.720.000 bit/second = 11,935 Gbps
-> HDMI 2.0 can easily do 1080p 240Hz and changing to a DP cable wont make a difference because the transferrate isnt close to choking while sitting at around 2 thirds of max capacity...
Your explanation for FPS was absolutely correctly, yet the one for Hz wasnt quite. Hz isnt the refreshrate per second, the unit Hertz describes [X] per second, meaning Hertz is the refreshrate itself. 60Hz panels refresh 60 times per second.
Regarding the monitorsettings, i agree with the finetuning of your panel being super important, what i dont agree with is you saying "instantly go on youtube and find the best settings" - instead of telling us to go watch a different video, you couldve explained why panelsettings are important and what settings might be more important then others. None of us understood what settings are actually important. What happened instead is, most of the people watching your video really just searched up "best monitor settings for [monitor]" and copied the settings without any clue about what they are doing and if the settings are going to improve or even ruin the quality or colors.... Sure the other guy might explain that in his video, but you dont know and that is exactly my point.
Everybody has different eyes and eyestrengths, there just isnt something like "the best setting" for monitors. I'd wish you would go more into detail with that and try to teach your community something they could really benefit from.
I also got something to add to the very right calls you had about RAM. As a rule of thumb, you are better of getting RAM with lower timings (lower cl number) - that does NOT mean that you should get 2666mhz CL14 rather then 3600mhz CL18 for example.
So instead of saying "when buying ram make sure the cl number is as low as possible" you should again go more into detail and explain the people what you are even saying... you did a great job briefly explaining what the latencies mean and why lower latencies are generally said more optimal, but you forgott about the other half of the generally important information - NOT GOOD! If you want to give tips when it comes to buying sticks of ram, not ramsticks, then do it right please...
Yeah this is a very long text and some portions of it might seem a bit harsh, please excuse me for that. All in all this was a great video with good information broken into smaller chunks.
i aint readin allat
i was thinking the exact same man most of the video feels like he doesnt know what hes talking about but the samll chunks where he does are nice
yeah, I was laughing at so many of his points. That's what I get for coming to a fortnite player for tech tips lmao. Like, DP "feels better"???
Bro chose this video topic for his research paper
Dp is better it can give you way higher refresh rate and it can help with fps and how good you game looks
Great video thanks for showing!
my man
FIREEEEEE ITS ALWAYS A GOOD DAY WHEN MARREN POSTS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LY
1:00 couldn't agree more, I think its easier to get the timing down when you can hear your keyboard.
artisan mouse pads arent expensive if u buy directly from them, you just have to wait a while for shipping but if u want one quicker then buying it from a third party retailer would be almost double the price
if you would rather a headset than headphones + usb mic i'd recommend the pc37x or pc38x (same microphone but in my experience 38x sounds a bit bassier and a tad better, for the price i'd go with the 37x's). or if you really want to get your moneys worth for quality, I'd suggest getting a GOOD pair of IEM's paired with a decent usb mic such as the at 2020 (crazy sale atm). stay away from cheap brands that's for certain
im back to my pc now i had carpal tunnel so i could not type so happy u still upload(:
Your the first fortnight CZcamsr to talk about the lamzu I am so happy lamzu is the best mouse I recommended
I have an external mic with passthrough audio and i play so much better hearing my keyboard especially with eor off, it helps with rhythm when editing.
hey marren, is it possible to do a vid on pc optimization? nice vid btw
This video has help alot like all his other videos!!!!
I have the cloud 2’s and I prefer the leather ear cups because during the summer I have fans on and my pc cpu fan is quite loud.
No way, marren got back to his OG thumbnail style :0
The fact i knew u were gonna say the wooting just shows how good it is im also gonna buy one
Not that much of a difference compared apex pro mini plus apex sounds better
Change the switches in the gpx, there are lots of videos how you can do that
The reason you play better while hearing your keyboard is because playing kbm is like a rhythm
hes not the only one who finds themselves sweaty when they hear their keyboard. Im like that too.
glad to see you actually know the 60he is better than the apex pro
Amazing video ngl
The Thumnail the title ite video..... its just better no? its was insane to see!
The HyperX Cloud II's are mediocre overall for $80. I'd recommend going for Koss Ksc75's for on-ears or Truthear Hola's for in-ears. Ksc75's dont dampen any external noise whatsoever, feel very light and comfortable, and also have very impressive imaging allowing you to easily locate the direction of enemies. With either of these, i'd go for a Razer Sieren Mini as the mic which will add up to $60 being infinitly better than Cloud II's for the price.
This needs to be a top comment. You know your stuff!
I love them, I've had them ever since i'd seen Etika wear them, fly high king.
you talking about the HP version or kingston cause theres a huge difference and kingston version one is way better than your picks
I have the wooting and it is so worth it the keyboard sounds so crisp
Just bought a Wooting 60HE, and immediately won 11 of 13 games in solos. It's cracked
MARREN WAS GOOD fire video as always
ly flash
W video as always 👑
W VIDEO AS ALWAYS MARREN
Apex pro also got rapid trigger like the wooting with the latest update if you haven‘t tried it yet
Wooting is faster, and also has analog which is a cool function,
@@1xbluee782barely
@@1xbluee782not waiting 2 months for a keyboard lol
marren do you need a thumbnail editor? I’ve seen the style has changed and I prefer the old one, just wondering if you had lost your editor or something. Can’t wait to watch this video still 💪🏼
I strongly prefer the new style, feels more mature
Plz review creative blasterX G6 for gaming the accuracy and footstep sounds is a dac amp do u think this dac amp will improve latency and audio for fortnite
Office chairs are better than gaming chairs here is why since office chairs are made for long shifts sitting down it’s more focused on the back part of the body brands like Herman miller and the Steelcase’s chairs are great options
Gaming chairs are better
@@Spxidz260 no try a Herman miller bro trust me
If you are going to buy a 60he now, wait for the 80he to launch in around a month because it has 0.125ms delay (8k polling) or just wait until they launch a 60he with 8k polling if you want a 60% one.
Can you make a video on if it is still possible to go pro in c4s4 or if it is too late?
The Dareu A950 4k is also a very good mouse it has super clicky buttons and comes with grips i wireless to
We literally use the same headset, keyboard, and mouse. Insane lmao
i use hyperx c2 as well
Best video on pc specs from a pro
what is that red pickaxe you’re using in the video?
FIRE
How do you get your game to look like that?!? It looks so good please do a video on it
performance mode pc
Nice one. Just as I bought something
Put in a order for the wooting to wait 2-3 months deff worth it
hey u got on fps tweaks and recommendations i have a low end pc abit of delay and low fps
Crazy that everything is 100 - 300 a pop.
Can you make a video on how to get the best possible fps in fortnite pls
Nice vid! But do you think 240fps 1440p or 360fps 1080p is better for competitive?
higher frames 100%
I woulkd argue thatb the viewsonic xg2431 is better than benq, better color Cause of the IPS panel made by blut busters so the blur reduction if you use that is actually better then benq. and its a bit cheaper.
U think lamzu thorn 4k is as good as lamzu atlantis mini 4k?
whats the pickaxe he uses during the headset segment?
if you wanna hear keyboard exactly like mongraal use to train mechanics with mechakeys and choose blueberry mx.
you need to go to pc audio setings and turn on bass amplifer one of the reasons you play better with hearing keyboard is that is waking up the brain and to pay attention
as someone who had a lamzu atlantis (my dog ate it a couple days ago and i have to switch to controller cus i cant afford a new one :( ) i 100% recommend it
Also feel way better when I hear my keyboard. When I don’t hear it I feel really delayed .
What size is your mouse pad?
yeah hearing keyboard while playing goes crazy
what about the apex pro mini?
I have the g pro superlight and i like it i mean i really like it and Ive had it for 2 years almost
yoooo there is no way i literally like playing when i hear my keyboard too i feel better when i hear it
haha it's so weird, but it actually makes a big difference IMO
🤩🤩
yo, i have a good monitor and set up, i just need a better pc, you know what would be good to run something higher than my constant 144 rn
Mo monitor is 144hz i cap on 360?
cold video marren
bosh
BOSHHHHH @@marrentm
W video
DDR5 or DDR4?
Fyi BenQ XL2546K is still a 240hz monitor it is the XL2566K that is a 360hz monitor. Still great informative content , thank you marrentm
hearing ur kb valid
when using a monitor is an samsung odyssey g6 240hz alright? it costed me aroun 700$
I like the sky pad but it costs a lot so it might not be a pic for some people
i have the lamzu its INSANE for fn
What Ethernet cable do u use
what fps do you get uncapped in creative?
What do u think of aw2523hf 360hz
ngl the razer deathadder v2 is rlly good considering its only 30 dollars and its dpi is 20000
86 grams tho too heavy
Your the GOAT 🐐
is apex pro mini keyboard good with lamzu atlantas mouse? if someone can tell me please
How could you know the Lamzu fits your hand perfect if you don’t own it? Not to sound annoying but I was just wondering where you got the info
I've had the Lamzu before, but sadly the scroll wheel broke so I sent it for repair!
bro YOUR SO GOOD 🤤🤣
I have the hyper x pulse fire haste
Why does the headset tip actually work wtf
me who just got a 500 hz monitor *laughs in competive advantage*
you have to try the lamzu atlantis mini with the lamzu energon mouse pad!!!! BROKEN!!!! AND AMAZING!!!!!
Should I get it over the gpx
I like it better then my gpx 2 🙏🙏 But the gpx is amazing as well 😀 do you like bigger or aller ice? It's really up too u... All the mice with a 3395 sensor is amazing to be honest.. the lamzu is just all around amazing.. the clicks on it are very spammable which is why it makes a great fortnite mouse and the scroll wheel is amazing 🙏🙏
Smaller mice*
thanks man im def going with the lamzu now final question(sorry for assking so much i just dontt wanna waste my money @@officialteamroc 🤣) is it worth upgrading from a raazer viper mini and will i play better?
If you did happen to buy a Lamzu Atlantis mini, what skates would you use?
The impact ram has on input delay and fps drop is not talked about enough. Ever since I’ve upgraded to a 2 x 8 kit of 4000mhx cl14 ram in ranked it feels like creative I’m not even joking it’s negative delay
Proof of this?
@@ArabMoney81 you don’t believe that having higher mhz ram and lower cas latency reduces frametimes and delay?
@@jonathan-qd1cc ok but what's the difference in ddr5 if it's cl36 but 8000mhz I don't get the difference
@@jonathan-qd1cc also there's other system latency involved like your monitor mobo etc cables you use
placebo effect man, you will definitely gain a few fps, but it won't make a huge difference unless you came from something ridiculously slow, like 2666 mhz with high timings. like the other guy said, upgrading your gpu or monitor would make a much bigger difference than ram lol
is xmp the same as expo
I thought I was the only one who likes hearing their keyboard
What is the difference between the apex pro tkl and then the 2023 version?
If you meant the apex pro mini 2023 version that differs in that it's wireless, and the basic apex pro mini is not. That's the only difference, aside from this they're the same.
Guys i need help with my first pc build, so first of all, I am thinking of going with a used 3070 ti for the gpu ( paired with r5600x ) and I found what i think is a good deal on ram on amazon which is cl18 32gb 3600mhz, is cl18 too much?
Desk?
if ur apex pro broke today you'd wait for a decade before your wooting would be in stock
These days most people are running gsync so the fps and monitor hz are in fact matched, if the two were different you would get visible screen tearing artifacts. So in a post gsync world there is no advantage to having a monitor with a higher hz than the game fps. Such a gsynced system is also the lowest theoretically possible latency: if someone managed to run a de-synced setup lets say the game running 240 and the monitor refreshing at 360 this would actually give HIGHER latency than both synced at 240.
Its a good idea to temporarily enable the frame rate overlay in the monitors menu (if it has one) to ensure its tracking the game fps then you know gsync is working properly.
As a side note the difference between vsync (legacy gpu/monitor syncing) and gsync is that with the former the monitor is the "master" causing the GPU to wait until the monitor is ready for the next frame, while gsync has the GPU as master where the monitor waits for the next frame from the GPU and displays it as soon as its ready.
No one who plays Fortnite uses any sync technology including my self unless you like input lag
This is only partially true. G-Sync (or any sync) adds input delay in any competitive game as it waits for the frame to pair with a refresh. 240hz at 240fps would theoretically be better than 360hz at 240fps if the 1:1 is kept, but thats not really possible considering the fps is bound to fluctuate. do NOT use any sort of sync
ur so wrong in many ways also gsync increases input lag
i have the artisan otsu xs(xtra soft) but dont like it anymore bcs at some places on the pad it slows down my glide do you or anyone has that same prob??
How do you get such good internet
I have hyperx cloud 2 with the leather cushion and I can still hear my keyboard 💀💀
I agree when I hear my keyboard I play so much better
Are you going to still be playing comp at 27??
Pc Specs?
You should look into the HTX 4k, it’s like a flatter and smaller gpx and insanely light vs the lamzu mini 4k
what's the fall name to that mouse
never mind
for claw grip the lamzu gives a wat more locked in feel. If you fingertip then the htx 4k or the x2 mini are probably better choices.
and its nothing like the gpx, it has way more curves compared to the gpx wich basically has flat sides
