UAW employees lazy

sly elk
#

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

umbral moss
#

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

umbral moss
#

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

hard drift
#

assuming you meant 4080

#

considering the 4080 is what, 1200?

modest moss
#

I wish hardware manufacturers would focus on same performance for less power instead of just going monster truck gains bullshit

umbral moss
#

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

hard drift
#

6000 series already beats/matches 30 series

umbral moss
#

the 4090 is in its own universe and it's priced to match

bitter girder
#

poo poo

jaunty light
#

Not really

#

3090 was already $1500

hard drift
#

not to mention pricing since the 80 class pricing is absolute dogshit lmao

#

500 dollars more for current gen 80 class Pog

umbral moss
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hard drift
#

monolithic makes it worse for pricing

umbral moss
#

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

hard drift
#

yeah, the fabs in the US need to open sooner rather than later 🙏

umbral moss
#

b-but intel will open fab time in 2026

#

for 5nm fab process

#

great

#

very useful

hard drift
#

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

jaunty light
#

ed just needs to buy a 4090

hard drift
#

4090 or 7950xt

umbral moss
#

yeah, I'm three generations back now

#

so I'm looking at like 3-3.5x my GPU performance

jaunty light
#

ed is a jensen fanboy I can taste it, he just needs a 4090

umbral moss
#

for about 2x power consumption

#

leather jacket man can suck it

#

I have nothing but disdain for nvidia's pricing strategies and business tactics

hard drift
umbral moss
#

but AMD hasn't made any moves to actually compete and force them to do something about it

jaunty light
#

AMD can deliver framerates but if everything else still sucks I'm buying nvidia again

hard drift
#

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

umbral moss
#

just keep increasing clockspeeds 6head pogianger

speed was an elin player, that post was calling out himself

modest moss

Yeah don't do this shit

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

sly elk
#

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 &(@#%$

jaunty light
#

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

#

Oooo

#

Ooooooo

#

I want it

#

How much

hollow hamlet
#

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

hard drift
hollow hamlet
#

No power surge, nothing. It just stopped.

hard drift
#

double check connectors maybe?>

hollow hamlet
#

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

hard drift
#

idk, i'm too tired to think about this unfortunately playdead

#

@deep sapphire fake water, what's your advice

hollow hamlet
#

Just reset the breaker and still won’t come on.

hard drift
#

did you flip the power supply off and on again?

real edge
hollow hamlet
#

It’s all brand new ugh

#

Pressing power button won’t even start anything

hard drift
real edge
#

since

#

any PC needs a CPU to even turn on

#

and a power supply ofc

real edge
jaunty light
#

Nobody making boards with mid girls on em

real edge
#

then post what you hear here

hollow hamlet
#

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

real edge
#

do you have a debug led on your motherboard?

hollow hamlet
#

Reddits telling me to jump the power supply lol

real edge
#

I don't judge peoples fetishes /s

#

tech stuff is a pain to diagnose

hollow hamlet
#

It is plugged in now and no lights are on

real edge
#

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

hollow hamlet
#

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

real edge
#

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

hollow hamlet
#

Sounds safer than shorting the wire with a paper clip while it’s plugged in

potent arrow
#

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

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

this is one nice thing about evga, they often send a little plastic plug that has the jumper pin inside it lol

void dove
#

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

It’s sad when all it takes to beat intel is a little bit of cache @deep sapphire smugdori

real edge

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

they're still in california

nobody wants to pay taxes

@real edge unplugged gpu from psu, tower turns on. No signal sent to any of my monitors via onboard graphics display port or hdmi.

real edge
#

did you plug it into the onboard graphics

hollow hamlet
#

Damnit the moon can’t be that bad it’s also new

real edge
#

the onboard and the gpu have different ports

#

ok so now that the tower turns on

#

we know the psu is not the problem

hollow hamlet
#

It only turns on it the gpu is unplugged

real edge
#

now, what gpu do you have and how many watts is the psu?

hollow hamlet
#

No signal sent from display port or hdmi

latent grotto
#

Does the cpu even have integrated graphics

hollow hamlet
#

3080ti, Corsair 1,000

real edge
#

ok so there is enough power in there

hollow hamlet
real edge
#

it does not then

latent grotto
#

No

hollow hamlet
latent grotto
#

That doesn't have integrated graphics

real edge
#

but the psu turns on so hmmm

#

must be the gpu cable then? that is what I can think of

hollow hamlet
#

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

real edge
#

the one connecting the gpu to the psu

hollow hamlet
#

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

dreamy chasm
#

Perfect since I want something for reference work lol

hollow hamlet
#

I used two separate cables for the gpu. Should I daisy chain a single cable?

#

I dunno, google said to use two. AvaPeek

#

Specifically Reddit said to not daisy chain a GPU, and to use one 6+2 from two different cables.

dreamy chasm
#

It shouldnt really matter if your PSU is decent

#

but using two seperate cables tends to be a bit safer

real edge
#

really odd

#

try using a different cable and see if it posts

hollow hamlet
#

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

dreamy chasm
#

Is your GPU seated in properly

#

Are the power cables actually properly seated too?

hollow hamlet
#

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.

real edge
#

do you have a friend?

#

that you can go to and throw your gpu into their system to see if it works

hollow hamlet
#

They all play console and or have laptops.

real edge
#

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

hollow hamlet
#

My 1080 died. I have no spares.

real edge
#

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

hard drift
#

Oven the gpu ASevil

real edge

they will fix it or send a replacement

#

then ull have your 3080ti back

and a spare gpu

#

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

GEE I WONDER WHAT IS GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT

#

MEVER EXPERIENCED THAT BEFORE

sly elk
#

my experience with corsair has been decent

#

pathetically slow though

real edge
#

amazon where I send them basic pictures as proof and they refund me right away after I confirm that I shipped the thing back

sly elk
#

ahha yea

#

amazon is great

royal forge
#

I heard they screw sellers tho

sly elk
#

but they're only great because they are very generous lol

#

yea

#

like they usually will send replacements right away for $0 and stuff

real edge
#

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

sly elk
#

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)

real edge
#

most stores here ask for a restocking fee

sly elk
#

yea amazon rocks for not doing that

real edge
#

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

sly elk
#

maybe is hould send my fold4 back and just get a 12" ipad pro lol

Wow samsung wtf you can only postpone an Update twixe???

real edge
#

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

sly elk
#

Yeah

#

I think it's still not a worth it

#

Because of the 192 bit bus

real edge
#

less width than the 3070

which surprises me

#

OK SwiftKey is comically huge on my phone

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

latent grotto
#

temp is fine

#

its cool

sharp star
#

iirc you should be concerned if your GPU or CPU is above 95c

hollow hamlet
#

I dunno how I feel about mem being maxxd

real edge
#

if the gpu is being used

#

then that is good

hollow hamlet
#

I dunno what core voltage is and why it isn't above zero. I haven't modified anything on the GPU or afterburner

modest moss
#

unused ram is wasted ram imo

hollow hamlet
#

but if nobody pointed it out as an issue, I will assume it's fine. Lemme find a CPU temp app

sharp star
#

HWinfo64 is what I use

modest moss
#

same

hollow hamlet
#

that?

modest moss
#

think so yeah

#

same icon

hollow hamlet
#

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

latent grotto
#

hwinfo is good

hollow hamlet
#

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?

latent grotto
#

most likely got zero rpm mode turned on

hollow hamlet
#

oh my god

#

how do I fix that

latent grotto
#

so the fans won't turn on until the gpu temps reach 60C or higher

hollow hamlet
#

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

sharp star
#

try manually overriding the fan speed

latent grotto
#

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

modest moss
#

60c is basically nothing

latent grotto
#

yea the fans for my gpu don't turn on either when i play ffxiv lol

sharp star
#

they do for me because 1440p things

hollow hamlet
#

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

sharp star
#

also ultrawide

latent grotto
#

you can change the fan speed with nvidia control panel or msi afterburner

hollow hamlet
#

3 months, not 6, wtyf

modest moss
#

60c is fine, really

latent grotto
#

but yea 60C is still good

sharp star
#

even then my GPU sits at about 63-64c

latent grotto
#

if we getting to 75C+ then we starting to get toasty

modest moss
#

60c is like, warm coffee temperature, it's not going to hurt hardware

sharp star
#

if it gets to 96 or higher then you should be really concerned

#

so you're a ways off from that

modest moss
#

obviously don't put warm coffee in your gpu tho

latent grotto
#

warm up your coffee by putting it in the cooling loop

modest moss
#

@tame fulcrum make your gpu into a coffee machine

#

turn off all the fans

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...

I thought they did some big changes to housing recently?

potent arrow
#

Its better

#

But still awful

real edge
#

console peasants suffer

umbral moss
#

can't fix it

paper tusk
#

at least not without some creative thinking (balancing fc housing with personal ones better. making more apartments. deleting bot fc's with a vengeance)

umbral moss
#

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

paper tusk
#

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

boreal surge
#

Aka the synchronization is a pain problem?

umbral moss
#

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

paper tusk
#

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)

umbral moss
#

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

paper tusk
#

yeah i remember that patch

paper tusk
#

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)

umbral moss
#

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

paper tusk
#

also the housing will never demolish from inactivity (because taking a break is healthy) although since a certain world event stopped the timer ...

umbral moss
#

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

paper tusk
#

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)
