I don't think it's fair to blame UAW for Ford being shitty.
in fact I doubt it has anything at all to do with UAW
I mean, if it's not materials/parts failures and entirely workmanship
you can only blame process control and employees
mostly your process engineers for not producing effective potato proof processes and procedures
but still some level of blame on the spuds who are fucking up
let's see if it matches the 4090 for less than $1500
somehow I suspect it'll be trading blows with the 3080 for $800
i mean that's still a major win
assuming you meant 4080
considering the 4080 is what, 1200?
I wish hardware manufacturers would focus on same performance for less power instead of just going monster truck gains bullshit
no, I meant 3080
last-gen performance for current gen prices
nvidia has made it clear they don't give a shit for AMD because they have such a huge performance advantage, so there's no way the 7900XT drops and surprises them with 4090 performance for less money
6000 series already beats/matches 30 series
the 4090 is in its own universe and it's priced to match
poo poo
i mean amd really could have a chance with them going MCM but i'd say they lose still. the main win will be for 80 class and lower most likely
not to mention pricing since the 80 class pricing is absolute dogshit lmao
500 dollars more for current gen 80 class 
similar node for AMD so I'd expect similar prices
¯_(ツ)_/¯
except MCM should help keep down costs
monolithic makes it worse for pricing
I remain skeptical as ever that prices will ever be consumer friendly again
especially in semiconductor space
your choices are TSMC or wait for TSMC
yeah, the fabs in the US need to open sooner rather than later 🙏
yeah, it's going to be meh when they come since we're going to be beyond that point
unless they pull an intel and redesign architectures for 5nm and get some gains out of it despite the gains likely not being massive
ed just needs to buy a 4090
i mean ed would get massive gains anyways no matter what they went
4090 or 7950xt
yeah, I'm three generations back now
so I'm looking at like 3-3.5x my GPU performance
ed is a jensen fanboy I can taste it, he just needs a 4090
for about 2x power consumption
leather jacket man can suck it
I have nothing but disdain for nvidia's pricing strategies and business tactics
i mean until this previous gen nvidia was the go to pretty much because amd really had nothing. now the competition is finally starting to heat up
but AMD hasn't made any moves to actually compete and force them to do something about it
AMD can deliver framerates but if everything else still sucks I'm buying nvidia again
the main war is going to be features going forward most likely
performance is starting to get too close to care without spending insane amounts of money
not to mention the damn powerdraw
just keep increasing clockspeeds 6head 
lets not joke about this 


speed was an elin player, that post was calling out himself
it's still a bad topic 🙏
and calling oneself out on a topic like that even in a joking manner is bad
yeah, don't admit to that shit ironically or not
Yeah don't do this shit
so about that cancelled 4090 titan. this is what its cooler would have been for all 900 watts of literal space heater goodness (?)
holy shit
leaked RTX 4090 Ti cooling design
House needs dat clean air
@deep sapphire
don't worry, I'm certain we're going to hear about how this was a massive waste of money for the next 2-3 years
and then silence when it actually proves to be a good thing
am i the only one thinking it's dumb they didn't call that a 4050
yes
@jaunty light becca was cool
They added another 24hrs to my estimated internet repair ; ;
I saw a food show where they tested lab grown chicken nuggets
Apparently they needed to use the same technique that is used for candy floss to get the texture right
the thing i'm always wondering when people are like THE FOOD ROBOTS ARE COMING TO END ALL FOOD SERVICE JOBS is
how the @(#%& are they going to clean that &(@#%$
3090 is actually pretty zonked on apex at 300
hitting between 270-300 at 95+ usage
Hopefully the 300 or 360 panel they releasing will be fast but then again this is a TN
They aren’t, because most fast food corpos would be too cheap to hire/train the skilled labor necessary that’s required of the investment
My monitor turned black, could still hear YouTube, could not alt tab. Turned my pc off with holding the power button (no other way to do so), and now pressing power button won’t turn it on.
Monitor works. PC won’t even power on. I was in the middle of a hunt train in thavnair . Nothing major.
Power lights did not flicker. It won’t work in a plug that my ps5 works with.
At this point I’m just ready to say fuck building my own pc and just buying a god damn premade

No power surge, nothing. It just stopped.
double check connectors maybe?>
Well, monitor turned off then decided to stay off.
Now pc won’t even turn on
Already checked all the cables. Unplugged and plugged them all back in
idk, i'm too tired to think about this unfortunately 
@deep sapphire fake water, what's your advice
Just reset the breaker and still won’t come on.
did you flip the power supply off and on again?
If your PC won't even post then its either a Power Supply or CPU problem.
welcome to technology in general 🙏
I would suggest opening the tower and checking to see if everything is plugged in properly to your PSU, then try and turn it on with you inside the tower to see if you can hear or see anything in there that might indicate that something is wrong
then post what you hear here
I hear an almost inaudible click? Coming from the psu
Happens once, and only when I unplug and plug it back in.
And I have to hold the power button to get the low click sound
do you have a debug led on your motherboard?
Reddits telling me to jump the power supply lol
It is plugged in now and no lights are on
you're not seeing any burn marks on the psu and all of your psu cables look fine, right?
try and power on the psu without anything, then continue plugging stuff in one at a time until it no longer powers on, this will allow you to see what the problem cable is
The monitor turns on saying no signal when I unplug the cable from the tower
No smell of burned anything, no signs of anything burnt
im talking about powering on the psu itself
like
go in your tower, unplug everything except the cpu and the power ofc, power it on, see if it turns off with the click sound, if it doesn't, turn off the psu and add a cable, then power it on again
and repeat until you find the problem cable
that is unfamiliar territory to me though
but narrowing down the problem is basic troubleshooting in most areas so it should work here
I mean that's safe
Just locate the right pins
I havent read it all but the best way honestly is the paperclip way
Unplug ALL the cables from the board
And short the two pins with a clip, you won't get shock I promise. Even if you get the wrong pin
If the PSU starts up, ie. Spin then you know your PSU is good
@hollow hamlet
it helps to have jumper wires but yea, paper clip is fine. Just do it when the power supply is off
this is one nice thing about evga, they often send a little plastic plug that has the jumper pin inside it lol
have you make sure the bios update didn't reset any performance/boost settings?
have you verified CPU frequencies are maintained at the same level, before and after the bios update?
have you reset bios to default and reconfigured it again to make sure settings are clean and correct?
a bios update, generally wont just take away a chunk of performance unless its changed some setting which controls how the CPU behaves

I told you 😔
🤷♂️ i agree that they need to lower pricing but once x3d is out that’s all anybody should buy unless doing productivity
Doesn’t exist
Let’s check AMDs stocks
Oh no… not gooood!!!!

Let’s check intel stocks, oh no they’re dying /j
Not on
the x3d is years old at this point and its only 5-10fps behind the new gen intel and amd
on average
I mean new x3d soon
It’s sad when all it takes to beat intel is a little bit of cache @deep sapphire 
can't imagine how much of a boost the cache will be on new amd cpus if it was that good on old gen to the point where its keeping up with new gen
Yeah, can’t wait
So is amd
Lol
Atleast they use fabs that won’t be out of date when built
didnt AMD move from California to pay less corporate taxes
they cant even pay taxes
intel pays its taxes

Intel would do the same
they're still in california
Exactly smh
nobody wants to pay taxes
nobody wants to pay taxes, not any corpo or us, I do not blame anyone for dodging them lol

Make something else then lol
I got Klein pliers coming today
People kept complaining about my profile picture, so I made my own
bet, Ill make something absolutely amazing for you

I didn’t say make something for me
knippex gang over here
Knipex linesmen pliers were the same price half off as the Klein
for their journeyman line
rather buy Klein tbh
mmm
🦅

what does SO-DIMM stand for
small outline dual inline mem module?


you googled that
i worked in IT
oh yeah
Lies


Nobody in here is that competent
LMAO
only the intel users are
Competent at paying electric bills
at least we hold jobs that actually pay more than 12 bucks an hour
competent on having a decent pc


I mean you can’t talk, you’re on a 6th gen, you support intel by word alone
LMAO

damn true
thanks for making a reliable product intel
ol trusty
just like a chevy
Because their new stuff isn’t 
Ol rusty very trusty
How’s the brake line and transmission
700R4 wow what a great transmission thank you GM for making something so reliable!
How’s the rust
My internet is apparently not likely to be fixed until at least Wednesday ; ;
damn, that's actually horrible
why is it taking so long?
No clue
hopefully it's because they're upgrading?
Probably to do with strikes and general incompetent country
rip
Lol no
Not even worth getting extra mobile data because signal blows
I'll usb tether for tribal dailies and other than that I'll just whine a lot
its time to move on from my shit IEMs 
I use these but the regular edition 
They’re very nice but too loud for my ears lol
Can only use them in short bursts without giving myself a headache since i have sensitive ears 🙏
@real edge unplugged gpu from psu, tower turns on. No signal sent to any of my monitors via onboard graphics display port or hdmi.
did you plug it into the onboard graphics
Damnit the moon can’t be that bad it’s also new
the onboard and the gpu have different ports
ok so now that the tower turns on
we know the psu is not the problem
It only turns on it the gpu is unplugged
now, what gpu do you have and how many watts is the psu?
No signal sent from display port or hdmi
3080ti, Corsair 1,000
ok so there is enough power in there
I don’t know it’s a Ryzen 9 5900x
it does not then
No

That doesn't have integrated graphics
I gave it to best buy when my 1080 died, and they said it was probably the CPU or a bad mobo, so I ain’t doing that shit again
the one connecting the gpu to the psu
It just cut out last night in the middle of a hunt train in ffxiv, sound continued, had to manually shut it down by holding power button.
The screen cut out*
Well thankfully I have a bajillion cables, lemme get to dismantling lol
The snow version's a little more neutral from what I've heard
Perfect since I want something for reference work lol
I used two separate cables for the gpu. Should I daisy chain a single cable?
I dunno, google said to use two. 
Specifically Reddit said to not daisy chain a GPU, and to use one 6+2 from two different cables.
It shouldnt really matter if your PSU is decent
but using two seperate cables tends to be a bit safer
Nope. It refuse to do anything while the gpu is plugged in. Daisy chained with a single new cable, or with two new ones.
There’s just an almost inaudible click/tick, then nothing
I swear to god if this gpu wasn’t actually new but instead a damn refurbished blockchain one
Everything is seated right. A
As I said the video feed cut off in the middle of a game, and then refused to boot when I restarted it.
do you have a friend?
that you can go to and throw your gpu into their system to see if it works
They all play console and or have laptops.
you can plug a dedicated gpu into a laptop if you are brave enough /s
do you have a spare gpu that you can throw into that system
My 1080 died. I have no spares.
you have to find some way to test the gpu on another system
that will either rule it out as the problem or make it the problem
or find a way to get a temporary gpu to test with your system
to see if your system posts with the temp gpu
Time to try the last breathe trick for a gpu 
Oven the gpu 
Try disconnecting gpu and does the pc post?
Also what cpu do you have
Could possibly try igpu

If i said i liked intel you would still stay intel
okay true
It probably will with x3d

Oh you god dam piece of- @real edge hold me back! Stupid god dang piece of shite gpu
My friends 3060 worked, so I bought one at Best Buy.
How in the god damn fuck does a 3080ti break after barely 3 months
Well I have 3 years and 9 months to send it in via warranty.

shit happens, it's the nature of tech
It’s because I laughed when your camera didn’t have a flash drive or w/e isn’t it
This is karma
you should
they will fix it or send a replacement
then ull have your 3080ti back
and a spare gpu
:3
contact the support of wherever you have warranty in and send it in
as soon as you can
I am glad the troubleshooting worked
letting a 3080ti that could be fixed sit on a shelve and rot seems like a shame to me
then you can sell it or use it yourself
Bc they aren't your friend and they played the hand given to them at the time. Now they have the upper hand so they're maximizing profits 
Actual shit show with estimates changing daily
why is it borked anyway
Dunno, it's not inside my property so I just have to wait
I didnt take out the cable

god I hate shitty plastic tool cases
open the fuckin thing up and everything goes flying everywhere
hah, I boxed the GPU card and put it up in the closet without registering it. Ugh, lemme dig it out again
Oh wow. A code for spiderman remastered. As if I haven't already played it

send it for repair with the warranty so that you can sell it or use it 
No the new one
Oh, yeah, i'm gonna do all that stuff on monday where I can print the label at ups

That Newegg story about the weights in a 4090 box was legitimate btw. We have an update in the next HW News.
1557
What story
getting scammed by newegg
weights or old cards in place of a 4090
starting to feel like if order anything expensive (processors/gpus) from newegg it's best to record the unboxing so they can't lie and blame the customer
ah
that sounds like a shitshow
damn
wtf happened to newegg
i thought they were the good guys
idk when that was. probably before i was born lol
i was under the impression that newegg was initially p good
idk
newegg was one of those city of industry stores that used to sell lots of refurb stuff and have a shady RMA policy with a restocking fee for everything
back in the 90s or whatever
there were dozens of those kinda stores on pricewatch
pricewatch was fun
mwave!
was expecting it to be a bust tbh
man i afk'd at this place in ffxiv like an hour ago or two
and the dude who was standing there is still standing there lmao
they're more hardcore afk than I am

Also for some reason they’re open but all the lights are off
Sure
sometimes it feels like I am the only person without any pc problems
ur power. Give it to me
me as well, have no issues
I mean, I highly doubt it's actually Newegg scamming. It's either employees stealing at Newegg, or someone at Fedex/UPS switching them out.

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've had very few as well. I had to reinstall Win7 once between its launch and EoL ... and that was bc I built a new PC in 2012
Installed Win10 on the new system in 2019 then and the only bluescreens were related to a couple shoddy game coding, not Windows itself
Newegg has been caught red-handed for being slimeballs for over a year so I’m past the point of giving them the benefit of the doubt
ive never really had any except hardware aging
failed 660w that couldnt handle transients anymore, an AOC that broke (bad brand) etc
bundling DDR4 sticks with DDR5 mobos is probably not as egregious as selling broken products but still really bad

I think WSL is bullshit anyway
it's just linux with extra steps
I like hearing my coworkers' stories of ridiculous loopholes they jump through to make it work with the work vpn and stuff
wsl sucks
its kinda cool but also just use linux
if you have a real use case you're just gonna have problems because of WSL
Hmmm
Did they drop 3090 prices when the 4090 appeared, for u guys?
Cz
Right now it's.. ABOUT $250 between the 3090 and 4090 here
Which just blows my mind
Whats the price diff for u?
Holy shit
buy me 3090

We're hugely disappointed in Skytech for not only dropping the ball, but also failing to recognize what went wrong when the answer was right in their faces. Skytech has done well in the past, but after this experience, it's clear that the company needs some more SOPs and quality control internal...

120hz phone screens are nice
when you buy something worth 5000$ and its that bad, then...
how can you fuck up a noctua cooler that bad
very carefully
oh I hear ya
i'm guessing they shipped it in the case's original box lol
and to add to the problems, they shipped it fedex bwahahhaa
they should have shwon the unboxing :
:\
I get it
also that $5k pc uses a cheap motherboard
Tech jesus gets a bit smug sometimes
and a cheap ssd
But he kinda earned it
some dude can probably look up a basic installation guide on youtube and do a better job putting it together than they did
lol the place probably pays minimum wage
but their example of someone getting a similarly screwed up pc in shipping and contacting support, and support sending a whole new computer
doesn't sound so terrible for a prebuilt company
still obnoxious though
shit though $5k
their support does not seem that bad
that's almost mac pro money >>
amazon where I send them basic pictures as proof and they refund me right away after I confirm that I shipped the thing back
I heard they screw sellers tho
but they're only great because they are very generous lol
yea
like they usually will send replacements right away for $0 and stuff
or a place here where I bought the wrong pillow and they replaced it with the one I wanted free of charge with shipping on them
even though it was my mistake
yea the one time I was floored at their support
i bought my bro a hyperkin retron 3 (knockoff game console thingy) and he hated the controls
but he has a bad habit of ripping all the stickers off
I was kinda tight on $$ at the time so I asked if I could return it and pay a restocking fee or something
they just said send back whatever you have and they refunded the whole thing
(the console used some really dumb IR controls)
most stores here ask for a restocking fee
yea amazon rocks for not doing that
sadly their EU prices have dipped to below competitive levels
x3d for example is 30euro cheaper in my country from a small local tech store
than it is on their website
3090 is also 200euro more expensive on their site
Phew. Hope I can get myself some new hardware next year.
Wow samsung wtf you can only postpone an Update twixe???
I am hoping the rebranded 4080 12gb is cheaper than the initial price
since it will essentially be a 3090 with less vram
if its more expensive than the 3090 then what's the point
OK SwiftKey is comically huge on my phone

Nice Chaka Demus

FUCKIN RAZER I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH MY SENSITIVITY

IM GONNA NUT
Long as you dont mess with the tolerances 
Is 55 celcius okay for looking down at the big swirly shit in the last FFXIV zone
GPU 1935 mhz
MEM 7500 mhz
TEMP 55 c
I dunno what this means, but it's msi afterburner
the game is largely CPU-bound so that's like... nothing
iirc you should be concerned if your GPU or CPU is above 95c
I dunno how I feel about mem being maxxd
I dunno what core voltage is and why it isn't above zero. I haven't modified anything on the GPU or afterburner
unused ram is wasted ram imo
but if nobody pointed it out as an issue, I will assume it's fine. Lemme find a CPU temp app
HWinfo64 is what I use
same
that?
oh god all this info
I just wanted the cpu temp

56
Well i guess that's nice lol
jumped up to 60 when I tabbed back into ffxiv and ran around limsa a bit
hwinfo is good
a bit confusin', but once you find what you need, it becomes easier
gpu fan speed is 0 rpm after exiting game
is that normal
shouldn't it, I dunno, be on a bit longer to cool down?
most likely got zero rpm mode turned on
so the fans won't turn on until the gpu temps reach 60C or higher
I don't need this gpu dying before the old one is repaired
oh, well it rises to 57ish in ffxiv... a bit sus that it wouldn't at least turn on
try manually overriding the fan speed
you don't "have" to turn it on but i guess it could help with cooling the vrms if they're exposed for whatever reason lol
or the memory modules
60c is basically nothing
yea the fans for my gpu don't turn on either when i play ffxiv lol
they do for me because 1440p things
Normally I don't get paranoid, but when a brand new GPU dies 3 months in, I'm a little concerned about the temp replacement
also ultrawide
you can change the fan speed with nvidia control panel or msi afterburner
3 months, not 6, wtyf
60c is fine, really
but yea 60C is still good
even then my GPU sits at about 63-64c
if we getting to 75C+ then we starting to get toasty
60c is like, warm coffee temperature, it's not going to hurt hardware
if it gets to 96 or higher then you should be really concerned
so you're a ways off from that
obviously don't put warm coffee in your gpu tho
warm up your coffee by putting it in the cooling loop
My FE card didn’t have stock thermal putty on two of the memory modules lel
so win10 support ending this year should i upgrade to win11 now 
How bad is it?
it was?
could've sworn i got some notification support was ending this year lol
or
updates would stop this year?
idk
he spent a fortune on a fancy water block
Belated response but: Not only is Win10 support 2025, but given how bungled their release of Win11 is, I wouldn't be surprised to see support extended by several years.
Since they made the requirements for upgrading as confusing and annoying as possible.
2 year old hardware didn't qualify...
it's more annoying than that
Razer is shit
better than amd tho
Not a chance

True
hows the boys
Good knowing I don’t own AMD or a Hyundai

I posted that already ice smh
oh wait nvm it never sent 😔
this?
oh it did send 
best looking one but bet you cant get that in US?
then again i recall being able to get colorful ati back in teh day
Ice wants no gpu smh
That was the whole point of pcie 5.0/atx 3.0
meanwhile the best way to feed a 4090 is to choke it of cables
somehow im getting less fps at 1080 than i do at 1440 this sucks
220 in apex before i was locked 240 lmao
why have you gone from 1440 to 1080
360hz
do you even notice a difference
sounds like a horrible idea
yes
you notice -20 fps 
apex runs like dogshit apparently
idek what's going on because now im going as low as 170 but never dropped below 240 at 1440 
time to buy a 13900K
i need all of the cores
hmm
i didn't realize the card had a power limit
i thought flipping the OC switch turned that off

why is the fan in my psu warped
@potent arrow please say you have more gil in your retainers
what how
so you're just lazy af
no, I just dont find that part of the game interesting
that's possible?

hmm?
you dont need that much to teleport shue
Penta melding only costed me 2 mill
and if you dc travel can you just stay there?
you can't do a few things but pretty much yeah
can't join an FC for example
or use retainers
but you can group up, trade, buy stuff from MB

I thought they did some big changes to housing recently?
console peasants suffer
can't fix it
at least not without some creative thinking (balancing fc housing with personal ones better. making more apartments. deleting bot fc's with a vengeance)
I mean, it's not even that, the way they implemented housing is a hacked-on modification of the old retainer ward system
it's just wildly inefficient and trying to upgrade it requires a ton of fuckery in the code
that's why they're doing other stuff like the island sanctuary thing
because it is designed to be instanced per-person
yeah sanctuary reuses code for housing interiors
which is instanced to save server cpu time when not in use
which is same as aprtment code which is based off hacky housing ward code
which is based off the entire idea that each server program gatekeeps data to each other to prevent changes to character data that can't be explained
Aka the synchronization is a pain problem?
the fact that FFXIV's servers request a complete inventory update every time you change zones
or someone accesses a retainer
is why the game does not enjoy having so many housing wards
generally yeah. it's why housing lottery was a shitshow since the sub program to handle pulling rng (to draw a number) ocasionally didn't return the result to the housing program
and yeah sending player inventory per zone change is another lovely feature of world server
and why stormblood had the inventory theft exploit (on interacting with gc chest there was no check that a forged player id was being sent from another client)
they also had to make a ton of hacks to fix issues with placed furniture intercepting with geometry or unlinking
apparently the server re-places everything every time you walk into the zone so stuff is randomly a few pixels off

yeah i remember that patch
kinda reminds me of how potd floors are generated (room preset models > generate so there's no walled off areas/oob paths > create actors (mobs/chests/aoe traps) > move players)
the problem is geometry-based per-ward if I recall
there's only so many polygons you can stick in a zone before the renderer starts to get pissy
also the housing will never demolish from inactivity (because taking a break is healthy) although since a certain world event stopped the timer ...
you're asking them to fix a renderer that's from 2011 written for an engine that hasn't had any in-house support since 2014 lmao
99% of FFXIV's underpinnings are held together with duct tape and prayer
I think it's more a will than a way problem (with deliberate low pop in. easy way to see in action is fly up to an A/B rank hunt versus watching a S rank from the other side of a zone)
yeah saves the frames but so did deferred rendering when ps3 limitations were a real thing
now we're stuck with shit code that will never be changeable beyond overwriting shader programs (reshade/gshade)
time to return to the 1.0 poly count models 
epic flower pot action lets go
10k polys for an empty pot 
uh
it wasn't dangerous until 1.2 lmao
only one enemy even had aggro AI in 1.0
the rest were passive
I went all the way out to camp bluefog
coerthas wasn't even open in 1.0 lmao
was going to link to eureka experience (involving bears, and cleaves, and a lot of dead players) but too lazy to find it
if I recall, ishgard was opened around 1.1
at launch they only had the base three nations
I'm talking about actual 1.0
not the pre-2.0 content
1.23 was closer to a real functioning game
1.0 was like a private server lmao
nothing had AI and half the stuff didn't work

god, dual wielding shields lmao
starting as non combat job > forced fight to start the game > throwing stones for days (until something died, hopefully not you)
gotta love that barely changed ff11 gameplay logic
stone throw was the best ability in the game though lmao
member clearing ifrit with all miners spamming stone throw?

cute af
ugh I need 11 more variant dungeon runs
effort
I just want the noir glam, it's pretty cool
great, now I can be part of the blues brothers
it dyes well, the suit goes bright cherry pink but the coat is a distinctly darker purpleish shade
Its from normal variant dungeon currency, is easy nuff to get
I need healing
Fair bit of a grind though since you need a fair bit of currency. And it’s not something you can just braindead either, normal mode got hands
yeah, it's 28 runs if you want full glam and emote
10 to go
Gl, make sure you get the hamster while you’re at it
tries to sneak an extra hour of sleep before going to work
I might skip the earring but I'd feel lazy if I did
I got the silkie mount and minion at least
if this graph isn't full of shit (on performance to power limiter) 4090 might be better than I thought (just cap it at 350W and call it a day) https://i.redd.it/d7lq97nttkv91.png
Personally not enough of a meme/joke glamourer to get the earrings or the noir coat
that's weird, it's the same problem that zen 4 has
the uncapped power consumption is ridiculous but there's practically no benefit to letting it go uncapped
you get like 3% better performance for a 150% increase in power consumption

1440/144 let's fuckin goooooooo
why is it at 562 fps
you don't need a 3090 for that lol
yeah, I'm getting 170-180 running around doing tribal dailies
92-113 running around limsa, pretty big variance there
I get 90fps in limsa with my 1080 titan 
https://videocardz.com/press-release/amd-to-unveil-next-gen-epyc-genoa-processors-on-november-10th time to destroy intel even further in the data center 
watching this channel most of the time
?
cheerleaders fighting over brands
nah, not fighting over brands, intel just hasn't brought much to be competitive in datacenter/workstation in a while
that'll change soon enough though
I mean only very recently Intel has gotten none complacent
yeah, and hoping it continues so we see the two duke it out even more
hope they also get into gpus more lol
I'm not convinced epyc 4 will be a home run given how zen 4 looked so good and turned out to be more of a limp noodle than a big swinging dick
God the day AMD becomes competitive in the gpu market....
AMD will never be competitive in GPU space without fixing their godawful drivers
fire the entire driver programming team and poach everyone from nvidia
^
but i don't want a shitty looking interface 😭
I enjoy drivers that don't shit the bed 80% of the time and need monthly updating to avoid weird errors
i mean, having used/using 6000 series for over a year, it's had minimal issues most of the time it's my own fault it crashes lol
The amd software looks way worse lmao
the interface doesn't???
The Nvidia control panel looks completely normal, not a thing to complain about. The amd software looks like asus rog software
the problem with nvidia control panel is it looks dated af 🤢
The Nvdia control panel looks straight from windows XP, the only issue I have is responsiveness
If it ain't broke
i'm a cheerleader?
I’m not a cheerleader smh

<@&607647345936695316> bidori says he's not a cheerleader, thought you might need a laugh
😔 I’m leaving smh
Now you can keep tacking fans on
Can't take it to the grave
You did buy a 13900K right
I thought he was building up a new loop for a 4090
🤔
my girlfriend keeps being like "let's get a cheap gaming laptop" and I'm like "but you're just wasting your money
"
a pittance to someone who's already $14k in the hole
2500 barely covers your 3090
is this the same girlfriend who insists on paying rent on an apartment instead of living in your house for free?
to be fair she couldn't commute to her job this far out
so you bought a house where your long term partner can't live
"Cheap gaming laptop" tell her to just give up cuz it doesnt work like that 
What’s a cheap gaming laptop anyway?
I keep trying to explain but she keeps insisting that you can get a cheap gaming laptop
I'm like, yes, you can, but it's garbage and it doesn't play games lmao
Depends on their definition of "cheap"
award for the most dysfunctional relationship goes to ed and his chick
