RT is de wae overall but it will be a long fuckin time before it approaches mainstream

[deep sapphire]

Which is decent, the price leap isn’t but the bump in performance is good

[hard drift]

i mean i hope not considering they said 2x lol

[deep sapphire]

We’ll just have to wait and see

[hard drift]

i have a feeling especially if people don't care about raytracing, amd will be the way to go this gen purely for price/powerdraw. raytracing though, amd is dead in the water

yeah but you better be getting 40 series

i was seriously considering the 4080 12gb purely for nvenc/remix but given no founders card i'll have to wait and see now 🙏

true 🙏

[deep sapphire]

AMD is dead in the water because it’s AMD

[hard drift]

nah, that's intel

amd is doing great just some of you refuse to give it a chance

[deep sapphire]

Sorry we only gave 5 percent allocation to Radeon have fun trying to buy one

[deep sapphire]

I did in 2010 and I’m never doing that again

[hard drift]

you won't even get 1000 for it considering a new 3090 is roughly 1.1k

[deep sapphire]

No it doesn’t

The HD 5000 series performance wise was better than nvidia

Yet it was still a pile of shit

[hard drift]

sure it does, why else did intel lose the gaming crown and finally have to compete again same with nvidia

[deep sapphire]

Nvidia has an 80+ percent market share in dedicated graphics

I don’t think they care

[hard drift]

nvidia got complacent with pascal and did turing while amd was pulling up real quick and we are where we are now

[deep sapphire]

Pascal was great

Wym

[hard drift]

this new generation will more than likely give a few % to amd

[hard drift]

yeah it was so great they failed to truly make a better generation with turing

[deep sapphire]

The 1080Ti was one of the best values in history

[hard drift]

and because of their tunnel vision focus on raytracing they won't make a generational improvement like that again

[deep sapphire]

Yeah why would I wanna buy something that will cost probably the same and have far less support from developers and gamble with driver issues

[umbral moss]

yeah, and then cryptobros fucked it for everyone

[deep sapphire]

Corporations aren’t my friends

You make the best product I’ll buy it

[hard drift]

better commit to that when amd comes out for rasterization performance 🙏

[odd sand]

It's just pathetic that Nvidia is addicted to their covid revenue levels, so now bc they own the market they feel they can just charge whatever price will guarantee they keep revenues at that level (they hope)

[hard drift]

supposedly it's just that expensive to make these cards because of inflation/tsmc price markups though

[deep sapphire]

RDNA 2 had good raster performance but it was nearly neck and neck with 3000 series yet lacked any dedicated hardware acceleration for neural tech

And it costed nearly the same

So how is AMD value again?

[hard drift]

i mean it didn't cost the same hank

1k usd for highest end msrp vs 1500 usd msrp for nvidia highest end

[deep sapphire]

But it literally did, they were 50 bucks shy on almost every SKU it competed with

[odd sand]

They could make more affordable cards if they want to, but they won't.

How much you want to bet 4060 will be like $600

[hard drift]

this generation will be the nail in the coffin 🙏

mcm will make it cheaper than being on tsmc and being monolithic still

[deep sapphire]

It’s okay AMD already proved they aren’t your friend so being a fanboy is pointless

[hard drift]

none of them are your friend lol especially not intel

[deep sapphire]

When they release 6 core CPUs in 2022 for prices that exceed Intel

[hard drift]

intel is that awful friend that says "can i borrow 20 bucks, i'll pay you back next week" and keeps taking rainchecks

[deep sapphire]

They sure love the customer

[hard drift]

nvidia is that one friend that tries to control the friend group

[odd sand]

Just doesn't make any sense to me how AMD can be pretty savvy in the hardware sphere, but can't design firmware or drivers to save their life

[hard drift]

i mean that's changed as well especially after rdna 1

[deep sapphire]

Like I’m taking your word

[odd sand]

90%+ of the GPU issues ppl have had in here over the last 2 years were AMD issues

[hard drift]

rdna 1 was a testament to how bad amd was for drivers. rdna 2 is a godsend and shows they are actually trying because it's been fucking buttery smooth for the most part

[deep sapphire]

Which is even more pathetic given how poorly RDNA 2 sold

[hard drift]

most of that was because of rdna 1

[deep sapphire]

AMD already showed Radeon is on the back burner

[hard drift]

and that shit had hardware problems

[deep sapphire]

Ryzen has better margins

Sells way more

They don’t give a shit about Radeon

[odd sand]

Especially after they raised prices with 5000 series

[deep sapphire]

Neither do I

[hard drift]

that's what happens when your cpus don't take a custom loop to keep cool while boosting

[deep sapphire]

Intel and nvidia dominate market shares and will continue to do so

[odd sand]

ngl I wish AMD GPUs were better bc Nvidia are diiiiiicks

[hard drift]

eh, idk i think amd is going to creep up on the markets real quick especially with amd being the best choice for mobile especially with their igpus

[hard drift]

if amd was way better and they stayed in the lead they'd be dicks too

[deep sapphire]

AMD is stuck with low production capabilities

[hard drift]

they need to compete to keep their egos and shit in check

[deep sapphire]

Radeon is dead

[hard drift]

love? pfft hell no

[odd sand]

Yes and currently Nvidia has had 85% market-share for like a decade+ so they are hyperdicks

[deep sapphire]

Post dog shit in the chat

[hard drift]

no lmao

apple never would allow that

[modest moss]

how much storage?

uh

so it's pointless

in what quality, 64kbps?

[hard drift]

lmfao

[modest moss]

even so

[hard drift]

[jaunty light]

Who wants a 3090 for the sweet low price of 800 usd

[hard drift]

Not a chance

I would pay at most 500 for a 3090 given how used they probably are at this point

[jaunty light]

For bidori, $900

[hard drift]

Bitch 😭

I wouldn’t even consider a 3090

[jaunty light]

Mine is a nice brand new strix. It just aint the white model

[hard drift]

4080 12gb if it had an FE maybe

[potent arrow]

Man you actually had me untill you said it wasn't the white model lol

[hard drift]

[jaunty light]

I can spraypaint it ford oxford white

You’ll curse it if you do

[jaunty light]

[umbral moss]

now that I saw those game dolls this morning, my life has not known peace

it's only $2800, think of the memes

yeah probably

having fittings and a correctly installed block is extremely underrated

why, did you fill it with bricks?

if you have a waterblock it should weigh almost nothing

what

did they make it out of fucking osmium?

why is it so heavy?

saying the product name doesn't explain why it's heavier than my GPU's air cooling module

is it all useless ancillary aluminum?

[late basalt]

So…. Uselessly large then?

[umbral moss]

annealed stainless steel

the fuck for

[jaunty light]

Why not

[umbral moss]

it's heavy and steel is a shit thermal conductor

if you make it thin enough to be light like aluminum it has worse tensile properties than aluminum in the same weight category

[odd sand]

Take off the shroud and paint it white duh

[jaunty light]

Sarah dont want :(

[dull garnet]

1.3KG is a MacBook Air lol

[dull garnet]

oh what

just updated windows 11 and now folders kinda show what is in them

[umbral moss]

🤔

hasn't that always been a thing?

[dull garnet]

wasn't like that an hour ago

[modest moss]

it's a setting

[dull garnet]

[modest moss]

doesn't look quite the same but in a folder's properties you can optimise for a certain kind of content

that's w10

[burnt swallow]

I has question

Does Win10 like to randomly install Spotify

[modest moss]

it comes with it

[odd sand]

Didn't that already used to be a thing? I remember in Win7 at least

[umbral moss]

yeah, I always remember seeing thumbnails in folder icons

[dull garnet]

spotify windows app is cringe because i can't use adblock on it

browser ver ftw

[burnt swallow]

Mine decided to wait until today apparently to install it

Spotify launched itself when I turned my PC on

I subsequently nuked Spotify into orbit

[odd sand]

I think it installed Skype for me or something one time and I had to immediately uninstall it again heh

One W11 annoyance: Teams and "Teams for Work or School" are two identical but separate apps

They decided the Skype and Skype for business confusion should be carried forward

[umbral moss]

and then promptly smothered skype and pretended it never existed

[odd sand]

The icons for them are the same, just inverted colors, so I keep forgetting which is which

[burnt swallow]

Imagine using W11

[dull garnet]

11 is like using 10

[umbral moss]

the free market is too free and the shareholders don't like it

just price fix in direct contradiction to supply

although it's worth noting that nvidia did warn everyone a few years ago

saying that the price per die would go up massively when they started producing 7nm and smaller feature sizes

sure as shit, the prices have been right on that curve

[dull garnet]

I member when £400 bought a flagship card

[umbral moss]

I member when $200 bought a flagship card

and the delta between an $80 and $200 card was rivatuner

[dull garnet]

Lol

Yeah I remember those Radeon cards

I was thinking 6800 Ultra

[umbral moss]

9800 pro cards

or the 9700 pros that were intentionally sold as gimped 9700 non pros and you could unlock them with the bios

[odd sand]

Well they have 85% marketshare, so they know they can basically starve the market into buying it anyways

[dull garnet]

Even then the ultra was barely faster than the £300 pro

No wait, GT

[odd sand]

Was that actually a thing, or just their 5 year plan excuse to jack up prices /s

[umbral moss]

the defect rate for so many teeny ass transistors is bananas

each lovelace GPU is what, almost 100 billion transistors now?

if enough transistors come out defective the whole die is toast, so you're yielding fewer chips per wafer on the whole

and the ones you do yield tend to have something wrong with them so you get more of the mid/gimped skus

old logic of "new node = cheaper chips" was because the transistor count didn't go up that much, and you got way more dies per wafer as a result

so even if you had a handful of shit wafers you still had a shitload of full-spec dies per day

[paper tusk]

don't remind me (at least education license omits most of the awful like the you're an unpaid beta tester now feature updates)

[odd sand]

Shouldn't the whole cuda cores thing be kinda like chiplets though?

[umbral moss]

as far as I know nvidia doesn't offset designs like that

it's all or nothing

[jaunty light]

Everything is falling apart, world war 3 will happen, places will start to become uninhabitable, just spend that money now

All downhill from here bois

[inland mauve]

no

I refuse to give in to the doomer mindset

[jaunty light]

Here's my link to an rtx 4090. I earn commission btw

[dull garnet]

so you're saying buy a 4090

i'd love to make a terrible financial decision like that one day

as a treat

[jaunty light]

Just do it

Buy 10 bottles of vodka and drink them all

[dull garnet]

i don't drink

[jaunty light]

Time to start

[deep sapphire]

Weeb

[umbral moss]

the good old "it's the G80 GPU but we changed the number for the fifth generation"

[deep sapphire]

The 3080 at MSRP was a pretty fuckin good value, guess they figured they priced it too low and now are doing a 20 series again

[dull garnet]

they already fixed that with the 3080 Ti

[umbral moss]

I mean, clearly the market will bear $1600 halo cards

since people were buying 3080s at $1600 no problem

for two years

[deep sapphire]

The 4090 isn’t even the worst offender, the 4070 is by far

A fuckin 192 bit memory interface card that almost costs 1000 bucks wtf were they thinking

[umbral moss]

the 4090 is actually weirdly reasonable since it's a titan equivalent

they probably want people to buy the 4090 since the performance delta is significant but the cost isn't

[deep sapphire]

The 4090 seems like it’s priced well for what it is though 1500 bucks for a single component is getting a little ridiculous

[umbral moss]

eh, the titan has always cost that much

the titan in my machine cost $1200 in 2016

[deep sapphire]

PC gaming is gonna end up dying when they price everyone out of it

[umbral moss]

eh, kinda, the performance you get out of midrange hardware is insanely good now

[deep sapphire]

Why would you wanna pay 1600 bucks for a graphics card when 500 bucks gets you a full gaming system lol

[umbral moss]

you don't need a 4090 except for e-peen rights

for me, I upgrade once a decade so buying a powerful machine once beats upgrading it every other year

the cycle only resets if I manage to blow something up

[deep sapphire]

My 1070 still works but I don’t game enough to justify upgrading for now

[umbral moss]

you say that like nvidia isn't known for doing that lmao

the 3090 is the previous generation halo card, it shouldn't be getting dunked on by the new x80 card

you only see a delta when new tech is involved, which is why my titan is still relevant in most games even though it's from fuckin 2016

raytracing is more of a gimmick than a standard feature and I don't need DLSS

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/cope-dont-care-crying-cry-chips-gif-21606846

[hard drift]

I mean the 3090 accounting for inflation and node increases is worth about a 4090 today

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-7950x-breaks-four-hwbot-world-records-with-aio-cooler max power of 244w to break records

[sly elk]

i really don't feel that bad because I did a calculation once and found I spent about $1000-1100 by buying/selling to get my way to the 3080ti lol

[dull garnet]

bought my 3060 ti for £369, sold my 1070 ti for 220

[mortal condor]

A little? It's the price of three PS5's for a single PC component

[dull garnet]

sure, buy three ps5s

[umbral moss]

it's more powerful than four PS5s in tandem lmao

[dull garnet]

its also 150 cheeseburgers

wait

1500 cheeseburgers

[fair parcel]

150

[dull garnet]

depends on the cheeseburger

[umbral moss]

150 is about right if you buy a decent burger

you're only getting grey mystery meat and one sad slap of american cheese-like product for $1

[fair parcel]

yeah actually

[umbral moss]

even $10 for a burger is pretty rare these days

[mortal condor]

For a single PC component. It's more than a little ridiculous at this point. Sad thing is Nvidia has no competition in the market to help regulate the prices. AMD is their closest competitor and they just aren't at that level yet

[umbral moss]

bold of you to think AMD won't charge $1500 for their GPU if it's competitive with the 4090

[fair parcel]

yeah AMD

[dull garnet]

driver blocks your path

[fair parcel]

exactly

all fun & games until you can't play x game for 4 months

[dull garnet]

can always roll back. ultimately don't buy until you can at least get a feel for where the drivers are

[late basalt]

late reply, but i'd happily upgrade to just a 20-series card once my 1050 dies

[sly elk]

I think carls jr sells some $10 burgers here

five guys definitely does

[modest moss]

my wife is still happy chugging away with her 1050ti, it gets her high settings at 1080p with FFXIV, Fortnite and Sims, she'd get mad if I tried to upgrade her

[modest moss]

I went into a five guys once, looked at the prices and did a 180

why would I

Moore's Law no longer observes the density of transistors on integrated circuits. It now applies to the price of Nvidia graphics cards.

Man i would unironically put a waifu card into my PC, but what's the point if it's just some random weird character

[lost python]

I wouldn't get a 1050ti in this decade anymore. It's just too slow now

Also don't get a laptop with a HDD

[umbral moss]

the duo 2 is also kind of a weird product, it should be good but it... isn't especially whelming?

it kinda matters in that 256 bit would be more throughput but if the memory is fast enough then it doesn't really matter

Hopefully there is a way to lock the one side so you can't futz with it

[modest moss]

look at these beauties

[odd sand]

It comes with onboard USB? Oh SHIT

[sly elk]

sure they did

USB on PCs has been a possibility since 1997

[dull garnet]

FE cards look better than anything anyone else is making

[sly elk]

granted, most companies that used those cases probably didn't bother to use it

the weird ass looking compaqs had it, and sony vaios had it

[odd sand]

I think I first had a USB mouse around 2000 or so

[sly elk]

usb port is behind that grey cover

nobody took USB seriously until apple made the imac lol

but it was on PCs before apple made the imac

there was a weird phase where beige, black, and apple's spaceship cases were all being made at the same time

[odd sand]

Yeah Intellimouse Optical in 2000 was my first USB mouse. Apparently they had one called the Intellimouse Explorer in 1999 that also did USB

Part of the reason USB took longer to pick up is probably that drivers weren't installed by default for the HID to work on older Windows versions

[umbral moss]

also because the PS/2 port was a hardware level change

they had already routed the pins for the hardware interrupt to the CPU, so there was no reason to add a USB controller

[sly elk]

i assume it was also because they had tons of ps/2 keyboards/mice and it was cheaper to produce those

PS/2 is an annoying port

and in windows 98, USB was not a high priority

so if your cmputer got busy the mouse would lag lmao

i like those retro setups people make on reddit

who weren't around in the 90s so they don't get the details right

that evga quality

Man, when EVGA said they were done making GPU's they really meant it.

Just look at the size of the card compared to the backplate

They need a new ATX case standard just to secure modern GPUs

Or are we going back to horizontal FF cases?

i bought a new tape measure and it's pretty nais

oo this scale is pretty but I have no use for it

lol I imagine my plastic scale I had in college is still in a box somewhere >>

yea architect scales are funny because they're all in inches (in the US)

engineering scales are mm though

I have an Aorus fo48u on my desk connected through hdmi2.1 with its audio device disabled in windows.

Out of nowhere the speakers on the device start SCREAMING a high pitched buzz, I've never been so scared in my life. Turning the monitor off didn't stop it, pulling the power did.

What an ugly stand

I'd rather pay a little more for a good stand

[sly elk]

999?

ah there's an alienware 38" that I think uses that panel

AW3821DW .. it used to be cheaper than the LG

it was why I was disappointed in the 34" oled

i thought we were finally done with 3440x1440 but no

blergh that LG looks gaudy

but if you use a vesa arm the stand goes away

been using that res for like 8 years

we have a few 38" at work, whenever i use one of those i feel lost in a sea of screen

it's nais

I legit watch his videos

[sly elk]

Lol

Meanwhile I don’t even have dewalt

Also why are Milwaukee tape measures cheaper than Stanley

I felt really dumb paying more for that fat max but I remember

[deep sapphire]

Because Stanley tape measures are the gold standard

Everyone else makes them that fail after 3 months, Stanley lasts 3 decades

[paper tusk]

I would say yay makita but I can't afford anything more because the batteries are stupid

Come japan hank

I got a king bed with ur name on it

Yeah problem is how much of a difference is a 3000 bed vs an 800 bed

But I’ll vouch for the don’t skimp on bed/chair bit

[jaunty light]

5/10, needs more power conectors

[odd sand]

Well it's also a king bed, those are going to be a lot more

Double pillowtop can be nice bc you can still flip the mattress. A single you can only rotate, so it wears out faster

sheesh image uploads are slow af today

[late basalt]

try spending 2 days to update your apple watch and EVERY TIME EITHER YOUR PHONE OR WATCH TURNS THE SCREEN OFF IT STOPS DOWNLOADING THE GOD DAMN UPDATE

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[sly elk]

my favorite is when you update the phone and then it refuses to talk to the watch because the OS is too outdated

so then you go to update the watch, but the watch app won't talk to the watch

[late basalt]

that's the fucking problem i'm having

[sly elk]

so you go to the watch itself and go into settings and try to run the update

and it's like

[late basalt]

or

or

[sly elk]

FOR SECURITY YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS ON YOUR PHONE

[late basalt]

when you're near the watch, the phone says nothing about updating the watch

[sly elk]

and like

[late basalt]

but god forbid you unlock your phone the moment you're out of range

[sly elk]

when that happened to my mom's watch

[late basalt]

pleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatchpleaseupdatewatch

[sly elk]

it would pop open the apple watch app on the iphone

[late basalt]

pleaseupdatewatch

[sly elk]

but it wouldn't show the fucking 'accept terms' screen

or something along those lines

[late basalt]

[sly elk]

IT WAS FUCKING BULLSHIT

I ended up having to wipe the watch

[late basalt]

i'm super fucking tempted to do just that

[sly elk]

tbh you might have to

[late basalt]

because every god damn fucking time the watch dings to the charging screen

[sly elk]

also, back when I was using a 5s and an apple watch s0

[late basalt]

it fucks the update download

[sly elk]

i think

shit no I can't remember

[late basalt]

LIKE FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU WANT THE GOD DAMN THING ON THE CHARGER TO UPDATE

[sly elk]

there was some point where I had an iphone where the watch after a software update refused to talk to the phone anymore because the OS on the phone was too old

and the phone couldn't get an update anymore 😄

but it was a pair that used to work together?

I can't remember X_X

[late basalt]

or the "cant check for updates because you're not connected to internet"

fuck you

i'm on the god damned wifi connection you shitsucking cancer

[sly elk]

also

[late basalt]

here's hoping NOT leaving the watch charging will at least download the damn update

[sly elk]

"this version of MacOS needs to be updated to pair with your iPhone"

or the opposite

also another one that always made me laugh was going to icloud.com

[late basalt]

that's why i dont use macs

[sly elk]

and then the same computer asking me if I authorized the browser to log in

[jaunty light]

So thick

[sly elk]

oh y

yes it is hahaha

[real edge]

what I meant is that with a poor system and a top-tier monitor for example ull get poor fps on a top tier display, but once you upgrade your system your monitor is there to support that extra performance with even better fps and game feel

that is what I meant by grow with you sort of thing

your monitor should be the ceiling that you try and reach with your system

if that makes sense

do not buy a poor monitor because you have a poor system cause the poor monitor will be absolute garbage when and if you decide to upgrade your system, there will be no ceiling

yeah

1440p 144fps is already possible on a lot of titles

the main thing holding back 4k

is displayport actually

there is not enough data flow in displayport right now to feed 4k and more than 120fps

unless you reduce your monitors color bitrate

from 10 to 8

sadly

even 1440p and 240hz is a stretch as to what displayport can handle with 10bit

its time we get new standards

with 10bit colors?

[royal forge]

never seen a usb to serial dongle like that green one before though

you can get an alphacool aio kit for GPUs

[sly elk]

I thought about getting this myself for funsies

[real edge]

wow the contrast is dreadful

[sly elk]

I think i'd then move my 360 cpu aio onto the front of the case and put that one on top lol

[real edge]

but then again that is normal for IPS displays

[sly elk]

that's the IPS one from earlier

heh speaking of that

the msi VA one I bought

[real edge]

yeah I linked the review cause he linked the amazon one

[sly elk]

I think the 34" ips I normally use has better contrast >>

didn't buy it to game on though, I bought it to do work from home, and it was cheap.

i think ice is using ips screens already?

so it's not like he's going to be disappointed lol

I think OLEDs look really unnaturally eye popping (in a good way) on some contrasts

the whole thing about text readability is a thing

tbh if you're 100% dead serious about text readability you're gonna be looking at something like an apple studio display

those 27" 4k are decent too

I mean, shit, I still think the pixel density of 3440x1440 on a 34" is decent for reading text, so 4k + scaling on a 27" is probably fine

but 5k on a 27" is like 40% more pixels :]

but in typic apple fashion the 27" has issues
historically their screens are not the most reliable

[jaunty light]

I need to figure out a setup again

But in almost all cases its buy a $500 ergotron

because they dont sell the long pole separately

That or wall mounts

[real edge]

long pole

a lot of gaming displays do not have good local dimming

or contrast

[jaunty light]

Legit. Its the same exact mount as the one i have rn but it just has an extended mounting pole thing

[jaunty light]

My brother in law got a odyssey ark and its bitchin

Too bad its 3500 lol

No weird color, no BLB at all

it is good on mine as well, I was very surprised when i first saw it

"wow this is how blacks should look like?"

which dell

Since when does sony sell mons

Is.. this just a rebranded alienware

[real edge]

1800r is an aggressive curve

[jaunty light]

The 2721?

Its a good monitor, but theres always a tradeoff with IPS panels

[real edge]

you need an excellent pc to run the second monitor, its response times are beyond shit at 60fps

it does have backlight strobing

[jaunty light]

I kinda wanna try the neo g8

But i know the small samsungs always have issues

Oled hard pass

[real edge]

I wouldn't touch the alienware 27 either

not worth the price

[jaunty light]

Not these days

Was very worth 700 when released

[real edge]

it has the same problem as the dell

its too slow when fps drops below its max

[jaunty light]

1200 zones on the g8

[jaunty light]

Not an issue for me, i maintain 240 all the time

[real edge]

the asus rog swift pg279qm

[jaunty light]

And if i dont it doesnt matter since the game wont be comp

[real edge]

is acceptable

but the odyssey g7 is the best when gaming

but text clarity is an issue for programmers

because of the aggressive curve

[jaunty light]

I hatr curve

Issue with g8 is also 4k

I got too many expensive hobbies as is

[real edge]

it depends on your eyes

the lg one is good except for contrast

I had a fast TN for a long time

when I bought a slower IPS I noticed motion blur immediately

had to return it

the g7 is fast enough to where I do not notice any

generally speaking when you buy the display there is one way to test it

play cyberpunk at 60fps locked

and bring your overdrive setting to normal

see how it looks to you

then play a game where you can pull 144-160fps easily.

and put the OD on fast

see the difference

is that acceptable to you? do you notice a difference motion blur wise?

ull be simulating this essentially

which is response time at max fps and response time at 60fps

ideally it should all be uniform

but

most monitors cannot do that

you have adaptive sync

your monitor will be at 144hz

but you have adaptive sync

if that makes sense

which is a good thing

so your numbers at 60 will be the right ones

if you adjust your OD settings to match

you will probably be fine if you had those monitors before

those are slow as fuck

the ones you currently have

the lg you're looking at is way faster

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27uk650-w

this is the performance of your old ones

only 60hz as well

old

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/148162866208440321/1022748026776846376/unknown.png

new lg

144hz will be a huge jump for you

to clarify

it will not look like shit at 60

but the difference between games you can run fast and games that run at 60 might be noticeable for you

with that display

but you might not even notice it

who knows

it depends on your eyes

yeah but the hz of your monitor is 60

so your monitor cannot match your fps

uhh

yeah

scanlines?

I guess thats the norm

damn

feelsbad

I do not have any scanlines with that gif

I've never gotten that

its too bad because the display is amazing, its such a shame that most people have problems with it

yup

it actually uses VA to its advantage unlike other VA displays

I highly recommend 144hz for gaming

its a big game changer

with your pc its a shame you do not have a high hz display

it will be great for you

[sly elk]

does anyone still use odyssey g9s? :]

they were super popular for a while

i haven't seen a single one in /r/battlestations in a weke or so

[deep sapphire]

@potent arrow

They’re beautiful

: ‘ )

[sly elk]

exotic sockets

o_O

SAE?!

[deep sapphire]

Yeah lmao that’s the only SAE set they make too

I looked far and wide on the website but I’m not surprised in the least

[sly elk]

-ponders if anyone makes cars that use SAE sockets-

[deep sapphire]

Not anymore

My truck uses both for some fuckin reason

Everything in the cab is metric

[sly elk]

lol

[deep sapphire]

Everything on the frame is SAE

like ???

[sly elk]

XD

yea I've never touched a car like that before

then again jeeps have an amusing amount of torx heads in them

oo here's a g9 setup

[jaunty light]

Spends $37472 on monitor, has giant mat, 60% keyboard and blue yeti..

[sly elk]

the cheap chair, too

blue yetis have a long history though, I think when people go to best buy looking for a better mic than whatever they're using, it's oneof the things they gravitate to

hell, a week ago I was returning a monitor to best buy and this dude next to me was shopping for a mic and he was talking with the employee about blue yetis lol

[jaunty light]

Yetis arent bad, but that mic costs less than the mount he has it on

[sly elk]

ah is that a fancy mount?

[jaunty light]

Just a rode psa1

[sly elk]

ah the logo on the base

it looks like a pretty generic mic arm to me otherwise lol

[jaunty light]

Yea they made the pro model with a sleeve so it looks.. better

[sly elk]

that is pretty funny

that's a like 60 dollar mic and a $96 arm

$79** msrp for the mic, but they're pretty regularly cheaper

I personally don't care for the blue yeti aesthetics

that is a nice blue though

though I admit the elgato on my desk isn't exactly beautiful either

[jaunty light]

Tbf its a waste to buy the cheaper ones, their springs are awful

[sly elk]

i'm kinda tempted to get a q2u just to mess with it

plus i could theoretically tuck it in behind my monitor more nicely

or put it on a gooseneck arm and pretend i'm a burger king employee

i realize i may have dated myself super badly with that one

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

in the 90s burger king had a mic at the counter adn they'd loudly announce orders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKV3jXOiPOU

[jaunty light]

Gotta git in that thread and yell at em for not having an sm7b or re20

[sly elk]

I suppose what I could do for more amusement is get a gooseneck lamp, remove the lamp head, and install a mic on the end

[odd sand]

Unless the person is literally streaming, just have the mic just over the top of the monitor with a shield behind it to cut down on background noise. Unless it's dynamic then rip

[umbral moss]

GM engineering, my saturn had the same shit

engine metric, chassis imperial

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[umbral moss]

was a fun time trying to take the battery clamp off to swap it, I had to buy a set of metric sockets specifically for that

just drink tea

[paper tusk]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/2k-games-says-hacked-help-desk-targeted-players-with-malware/

🤡

[odd sand]

Yeah I remember that with my SC2. Was always confused on which was which other than the good ol' 10mm

I guess bc the chassis were forged somewhere else and were a different dept and that's "the way things were always done"

[umbral moss]

I figured it was because the engine was designed by saturn instead of GM so they used proper measurements

[dull garnet]

I've only had that happen with lower value goods

[umbral moss]

must be someone who was quitting that week

[umbral moss]

dunno bout high risk, they're not power washing it while it's running

and the RH in vietnam is basically "underwater" anyway lmao

[dull garnet]

long as they're dried properly it shouldn't be an issue. doubt that is the case though

[umbral moss]

yeah

but when you're in an unconditioned warehouse in SEA, "dry" is basically "isn't being actively rained on"

it's a serious problem for our actively watercooled laser systems, if the chiller temperature is too low the base starts to condense water into the electronics and shorts out the control board

[dull garnet]

tl;dr don't buy video cards from sea

[sly elk]

then the old salt whine about "these new fangled electronics" and yearn for the days when they used weird vacuum operated shit

[umbral moss]

nah, moisture killed vacuum tubes just as readily lmao

[sly elk]

i'm thinking of like how in old cars

the windshield wipers, door locks, windows, ac controls were all operated by vacuum

hell those old lincolns with the doors that cover the headlights? same deal

[dull garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEdp1br4EfQ

[sharp star]

https://youtu.be/p-VCHOp9PKw oh boy some more EVGA stuff

[umbral moss]

brake boost is still vacuum operated as far as I know

that's why the brake pedal pressure changes after you start the car

[sly elk]

ye

I think it's funny how that can make a brake pedal so stiff that you can't push it down enough to trigger the 'hold brake to start car' thing

[umbral moss]

that means your fluid is moisture contaminated

you should have enough hydraulic pressure to engage the brake switch without needing 1500lb of force

[sly elk]

that reminds me

I should look into getting brake fluid changed

(I don't have that problem though)

[umbral moss]

you don't normally need the fluid changed unless something feels wrong with the pedal

I still haven't figured out why my pedal is so soft when the fluid is new and the master cylinder/portioning valve are in good condition

you need to really beat on the pedal to get the brakes to grip tightly

[sly elk]

nope the brakes work the same shitty way they always have

https://teraflex.com/delta-brake-system-front-rear-5x5.html
maybe i should get something like that with nice beefy calipers

[umbral moss]

big brake kits are very expensive

[sly elk]

oh that one's cheap

look at this one

https://www.carid.com/2020-jeep-wrangler-brakes/brembo-gt-series-2-piece-cross-drilled-brake-kit-2582655858.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|Unlimited+Rubicon

[umbral moss]

I was looking at putting 14s all around on my car and it's like $2700 per axle

that's two whole tifa dolls

[sly elk]

ii wonder if I'd need to change my 17" wheels out with 18" to fit that

[umbral moss]

yeah, you need clearance for the rotors to spin so you'd have to put larger wheels

[sly elk]

i'm fine with that. one of the weird few wrangler owners who doesn't mind 18" - it does mean less variety with tires though

there are some big brake kits that are just small enough to fit the 17" wheels though

drilled discs though

[umbral moss]

I mean, 13" is technically "big" but when you have a heavy chassis it's kind of entry level

especially if you're trying to justify your truck nuts by taking the thing deep off-road and you're trying to brake down a mountain

[sly elk]

yea if I went to a shop and paid 3-4k to do it, and I was planning to keep the jeep forever? yea sure

5k an axle not including labor

oh dear me

[umbral moss]

drilled is fine for normal use, honestly

[sly elk]

yea I'm definitely not trying to brake down a mountain

[umbral moss]

slotted brakes are technically more efficient but you need to run them much hotter to justify the slot over drilled

[sly elk]

but having better stopping distance than a 1987 chevy citation would be nice

[umbral moss]

I still haven't found the right pads and rotors for my subie

I suppose the next step is to put 14s all around but at the same time it's a big expense for a car that's 12 years old

[sly elk]

128ft 60-0. Interestingly they don't show a difference between the trims, and the base wrangler has smaller brakes 😄

[umbral moss]

the base wrangler is probably lighter

[sly elk]

true!

[odd sand]

Refund on what?

[dull garnet]

good timing

christ

someone listed a 3090 for £745

if i had a beefy psu ||and a job currently|| that might not be a bad buy

[modest moss]

yeah definitely refund it

spend the refund on my steamdeck

ez

[dull garnet]

$325 extra

sheesh

[modest moss]

I want one in the respect that it'd be a cool toy but at the same time I don't think I'd use it enough to justify the price

[sly elk]

same >>

[modest moss]

it'd be nice for pottering around in XIV without turning on this pc

[sly elk]

the best thing is it's like a switch, but you don't have to pay crazy amounts of money to play games, you can just use your existing library

but the only reason I bought a switch was to play certain games

I have a switch and don't have zelda

it's pretty funny because I have botw for my wii u

[modest moss]

I wanted a switch to play a couple of things but yeah it'd have been a huge waste, steam deck would get a lot more use I bet

[sly elk]

i think the switch would be more fun if it everything you could do on it wasn't hidden behind a paywall

I feel like my pc gets a respectable amount of use 😄 but since i bought the mac pro I don't use it as much 😄

[dull garnet]

Zelda eh

[sly elk]

^ see that's the thing

except for hyrule warriors, I think every other zelda game already existed before on another console

so if you bought it on that console, why bother buying it again? aside from some QoL improvements and having it on the switch

like I get that it requires time and money to make games for the switch

[dull garnet]

fpga snes zelda

[sly elk]

even if they're just taking a 30 year old NES game and making it run in an emulator

tbh

I think the switch should just come with some amount of nes/snes games out of the box

[dull garnet]

better yet, a MiSTer

[modest moss]

can't get a pi anywhere last time I looked

was thinking about moving plex to one

[dull garnet]

Could always download bsnes-mt

[sly elk]

there are some generic raspberry pi clones on amazon and stuff though

hehe

I feel like raspberry pis are such a weird combination of hardware and I/O choices

[dull garnet]

How so

[umbral moss]

it's cheap, what did you expect lmao

jeepers, this $15 micro isn't as feature filled as a $1200 SOC

[sly elk]

nah that's not really what I meant

kinda the opposite actually

here's this quadcore computer with a GPU, buy this for your kids so they can use it to turn lightbulbs on and off with python using GPIO!

also: the GPU aint that great and for some reason despite being a fairly powerful quadcore, it feels jank

iirc at least with the 3b, if you plug it into a 1080p monitor it doesn't give you 1080p with default raspbian out of the box?

there's nothing at all wrong with it though 🙂 it's just an interesting computer

it's a jack of all trades that kinda does a mediocre job at everything but that's kinda what makes it great

but yea a lot of those gpio toys would be better served by an arduino or a freedom board or some other tiny cheap thing like a pi zero w

ugh but the way nxp's crappy old eclipse IDE is, it'd scare off anyone interested in playing with a freedom board

(there are probably more modern alternatives)

[dull garnet]

I've used a pico pi for a few things recently

Handy little board

i mean yeah they're pretty pricey but hey 🙏 it'll be pretty future proofed

i doubt it 🙏

800 max tdp maybe, 800 base not likely for a while

next year we will likely see x3d parts

🙏

until you do something stupid

[modest moss]

Ice your pc should need nothing until like 2025

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-fails-to-launch-arc-limited-edition-desktop-gpus-on-time as expected

you won't last that long lmao

you'll start twitching come 4000 series and 8000/14000 release

i meant you, not the pc lol

you'll be itching to upgrade

you'll still likely cave 🙏

[modest moss]

man trying to pretend he has willpower

[hard drift]

i wouldn't touch anything by/from you

[modest moss]

within 18 months he'll be gifting that 3090 to a buddy

[hard drift]

true

"buddy needed a gpu so i gave him my 3090 i just needed to upgrade, the itching got so bad"

[modest moss]

well, 'gifting' like you did the i3 and 1080ti box

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

so bro gets a 3090

story writes itself

for real though you should sit tight until like 5000 series and 14th gen intel at least

[hard drift]

amd lowering prices of their gpus

6900xt for 700 is pretty damn good

[modest moss]

desperation move from amd as expected

[hard drift]

i mean everyone is trying to offload old stock at this point

makes sense that they lower them

nvidia is likely to do the same thing

[modest moss]

all corporations are scumbag corporations

[hard drift]

i mean the new gens are going to have massive improvements in minimum framerates by a lot

which means smoother feeling titles 🙏

[dull garnet]

Not as desperate as amd owners

[modest moss]

I read smoother feeling titties

[hard drift]

i wouldn't know what either is like 🙏

who tf uses giphy 😒

there's enough inbuilt function to windows to not need it

there's 0 need for giphy 🤨

[modest moss]

why would it need to be a gif anyway

Ice be like 'omg submit that to bash'

[inland mauve]
