the jump from 900$ 4070ti to a 1000-1050$ 7900xtx might be worth it

[inland mauve]

4070Ti is €989, 7900XTX is €1200

[real edge]

and the 4080 is 1400 then?

what about the 7900xt

[inland mauve]

the XT is €950

the 4080 is €1400

[real edge]

hm

6950xt/6900xt?

[sharp star]

XFX RX 7900 XTX EX Edition

[real edge]

1000euro for the 4070ti is too much

[inland mauve]

7900 XT - €950
4070 Ti - €990
7900 XTX - €1200
4080 - €1400

[real edge]

the 6900xt is 770euro in my country

[inland mauve]

the 6950 XT is €790

[real edge]

ohh huh

consider that then

if you do not care about rtx

[inland mauve]

the 6900 XT is €1140

[lost python]

lol what

[real edge]

6950xt is my verdict if you do not care about ray tracing

[inland mauve]

I care a little bit about ray tracing

[lost python]

yeah unless you can somehow get your hands on a 3090 for the same price, but i highly doubt that

[inland mauve]

but from what it sounds like the tech isn't quite there yet

[sharp star]

3080 (Ti)?

[torpid kayak]

https://aerocool.io/product/klaw/

weird case

I love it :3

[inland mauve]

I would love to play a game like Control with RT enabled

[lost python]

its implemented like ass in most games and barely works right, but in those games it actually works decently though... 👀

[inland mauve]

from what I heard, Control does it really well

[lost python]

metro exodus too

[real edge]

then I would recommend the 7900XTX if you MUST BUY something right now, otherwise I would wait

[lost python]

actual proper global illumination makes such a giant difference in how a game feels. much more than reflections imo

[inland mauve]

well an upgrade is not a must buy for me

[torpid kayak]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/uxl0yp/5800x3d_is_god_send_for_older_mmos/ hm... I guess 5800x3d really worth it 🤔

[inland mauve]

it's more that I'm getting a bit worried about my current system because it's been acting up a few times

and the newest generation of games are causing some issues with it

Elden Ring likes to stutter

[lost python]

what kinda issues?=

oh yeah but thats elden ring

[inland mauve]

yeah but none of my friends have those issues and they have systems that are younger than five years old

[lost python]

even i still have stutters here and there

[inland mauve]

I mean stuff like hard crashes to desktop on loading

[real edge]

ohh oops

well

but you get the point

50-60fps in that game

[inland mauve]

yeah an upgrade would be a pure luxury thing

[lost python]

also dont get the 4070ti

[inland mauve]

I'm not in the situation that I was five years ago, where my computer was a failing laptop with a GT 755M and a barely functional screen

[real edge]

7900xtx is like 1120euro in greece and the 4080 is 1230 but its still crazy not worth it

[lost python]

CTD on loading is such an unusual and hard to pinpoint issue though

could be ram, could be the ssd, could be the gpu and/or its drivers

[real edge]

4090 is 1730

surprising for my dogshit country lmao

[lost python]

cheapest is 1780 for me

[real edge]

some of the cheapest gpu prices in the EU this generation

but still overpriced as fuck

[inland mauve]

cheapest for me is €1920

what the fuck

why is it so much cheaper for you Rob

you're my neighbour 😠

[real edge]

tbh the average wage here is 700euro

no wonder gpu prices are cheaper than the norm

despite EU

[inland mauve]

Greece I can kind of understand

but in Germany?

it's just hopeless in the Netherlands, they probably think we all work for ASML 😔

[real edge]

netherlands usually has had some of the best prices in the past

from what I remember

so this is unusual

[inland mauve]

if all parts are cheaper in Germany, it might actually be cheaper for me to order parts there and have them shipped to my nanna, then go pick them up there

it makes sense they'd be cheaper here

we have an incredibly dense population, incredible infrastructure and a ton of webshops

[lost python]

just buy it from our stores then

[inland mauve]

what is a good German electronics store?

you have Alternate.de, right?

[lost python]

mindfactory and alternate

ye

mindfactory is usually the cheapest

[real edge]

7900xtx is

slightly better rasterization than 4080

with ampere-like ray tracing

[lost python]

also if you check out mindfactory, make sure to also check the mindstar and damn deals tabs for sales and cash-back/bundle promos

[real edge]

the 4070ti is a 3090 with less vram and less memory bandwidth

[inland mauve]

oh damn

[real edge]

still not worth it imo

4070ti price was as low here as 850 at some point

its memory bandwidth is too shit

192bit bus is dumb

[sharp star]

Tie

Tee Aye

[lost python]

yeah fuck the 4070 honestly

you are better off saving up for anything else or going with previous gen

[real edge]

6950xt if you MUST BUY something right now

otherwise wait

amd drops the prices of its GPUs

so the 7900xtx might become worth it eventually

maybe at 1000$?

[real edge]

also some problems disappear on their own

my 1070 had some artifacting

but I disabled shadowplay and DDUd my drivers

they went away

[outer sand]

soo seeing this ranking, what would be my GPU FPS on Forza Horizon 4 VR gaming? 🤔

[real edge]

hm?

just look at benchmarks on youtube

[outer sand]

ah ok ty ty

[real edge]

but

my guess would be

that you will have to lower settings and use FSR

but ull be fine

[outer sand]

so VR need more power yeah? 🤔

[real edge]

a bit

depends on the resolution of your headset

[outer sand]

ohh there's a resolution on the headset as well, ic ic

should I aim differently? like I think I read somewhere that 6600XT is made for 1080p gaming

[golden stream]

I think ya

[sharp star]

is this Userbenchmark?

Please tell me it's not.

[outer sand]

this have similiar spec, got like 176 fps maximum https://youtu.be/9KnTycacpQA

[outer sand]

https://www.logicalincrements.com/articles/graphicscardcomparison from different sources if I scrolled to the bottom

[sharp star]

oh lol

[real edge]

VR headset has its own resolution

read up on what res it is

[outer sand]

ok ty ty

[real edge]

if its close to 1440p then you will have to lower some settings

but ull be fine

[lost python]

VR headsets usually have 2 small screens that need to be powered so yes they eat a lot more resources than playing the same game non-vr

But there are some open source projects that add FSR to VR games and that helps a little with performance if you are struggling

[inland mauve]

if I look at benchmarks, the 13600K performs only slightly worse than the 13700K, but it's €110 cheaper

[lost python]

13600k is a good cpu for the money for sure

[inland mauve]

is there any reason to go for the 13700K instead then

because from what it looks like the small increase in performance is absolutely not worth an extra €110

[real edge]

what are you using the CPU for

you need good DDR5 ram for the 13600k to outperform the 5800x3d in some games

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/PA1LvwZYxCM

[real edge]

and even then the difference is small

[deep sapphire]

Gotta love companies releasing meaningless products

[inland mauve]

well basically this is a list of components that I have currently compiled

I haven't added any GPU yet

so this combination of CPU and DDR5 RAM will outperform the 5800X3D but only in some games?

[umbral moss]

I mean, consider how many of "those games" you care about

if you're just going to play, like, FFXIV you can buy either lmao

[real edge]

both the 13600k and the 5800x3d are neck and neck

[inland mauve]

and cost about the same

[real edge]

in games where vcache matters

the 5800x3d wrecks everything

but in games that do not use it

they are about the same

and in games where cpu IPC matters a lot

the 13600k is a bit ahead

it all depends on the type of game

for every CSGO

or plague tale requiem

you have a factorio

in some games they are neck and neck

it depends on the games you play

[rigid hill]

Damn Ruben 9 that goodbye

[real edge]

what games do you play?

sim games? mmos?

[inland mauve]

kind of a mix

action games like Elden Ring

management games like Cities: Skylines and Satisfactory

[real edge]

ohh

[modest moss]

do you do much that isn't gaming?

[real edge]

5800x3d destroys cities skylines

lol

[inland mauve]

yeah I do a lot

I am often multitasking on my PC

[modest moss]

things like video editing I'd bet the 13600k would win, but I could be wrong

[inland mauve]

lately I have a heavily modded version of Minecraft called Nomifactory open at the same time as Twitch and BlueStacks with Arknights

[real edge]

yes

[deep sapphire]

How is a half disabled 7950X such a massive leap

[real edge]

productivity workloads the 13600k is much better

[real edge]

because the vcache is on one CCD not both

so disabling one CCD removes latency

[deep sapphire]

AMD really shot themselves in the foot making that design choice

[real edge]

improving performance

[modest moss]

I think I'd go 13600k at this point, but you'd probably be happy with either

[deep sapphire]

The 7950X and 7900X make almost no sense for the price point

[inland mauve]

the 13600k seems like a good pick

[real edge]

it is

[deep sapphire]

Wait for the 7800X if you want an X3D chip

[inland mauve]

great performance vs price ratio on the high end

[real edge]

that type of multitasking ain't much tbh

[inland mauve]

so the only thing that I am in total doubt about is the GPU

I really don't know what to go for

the 4070 Ti is hampered by that weird memory bus

[real edge]

in sim games you are going to run them with the 5800x3d a lot faster than the 13600k

[inland mauve]

but the 4080 and 4090 seem like they're priced too high

[real edge]

like factorio or cities skylines

but some games like plague run better on the intel cause they never use vcache

theres quite some variance

do not buy a cpu right now

gpu*

and if you have to get something used

the used market is rife with 6900xts and 6950xts

[inland mauve]

so that is the conclusion? it's just not a good time to buy a GPU?

[real edge]

ye

too expensive

unless used

and if you HAVE to

then the 6700xt

is cheap

350euro or sth

for decent to good 1440p performance

or

a used 6900xt/6950xt

this is cyberpunk where both vcache and IPC matter

check the used market

see if you can find a 6900xt or 6950xt somewhere cheap

[modest moss]

it depends on your level of need, impatience and funds really

[inland mauve]

impatience is high, need not so much except for just certain games to be honest

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/treat-yo-self-treat-your-self-parks-and-rec-parks-and-recreation-retta-gif-5540972

[inland mauve]

because of the aforementioned issues with the DIMM slots on my mobo and the risk that it is going to break down one day

do I give in to my mind goblin

[real edge]

if you have to then getting a used GPU is a good idea

more performance per dollar

[modest moss]

you have to decide whether fun now will put you at an unacceptable financial position

not a fan of buying used components personally, I like a warranty

[real edge]

some used gpus are sold with a warranty still available

but only some

it depends

[inland mauve]

oh no my financial position is fine

like, I don't have infinite money, but it's not like I won't be able to eat if I buy a 4090 or something like that

[modest moss]

I don't expect tech to ever be reasonably priced again

[inland mauve]

but at the same time I don't want to overspend

[modest moss]

if you buy a 4090 you probably need to buff the whole build and go above i5

would add a ton of cost

[real edge]

tbh

if you want a brand new gpu right now

your best bet would be that 6950xt you told me about for 770euro

[inland mauve]

I wish I could justify the 4090 but the cheapest one is €1900

[modest moss]

that doesn't sound like a horrible price

the 6950xt I mean

I'd normally prefer nvidia, but eh if the price difference is extreme

[real edge]

or a used gpu

the current gen gpus are too highly priced

not worth it

[inland mauve]

€990 for a 4070Ti, €1360 for a 4080, €1910 for a 4090

siiiigh

if those prices were even 30% less each I would've probably already hit the purchase button

but them being so inflated is the main thing holding me back

[real edge]

the 6950xt has the performance of the 4070ti or around that except in ray tracing

with better memory bandwidth

[inland mauve]

yeah but the raytracing is a selling point for me

even though I know that it's still not quite there yet

if I am going to upgrade, I would like it to be a setup that can handle raytracing up to some level

[modest moss]

what can you get a 3080 for, and what resolution do you use?

[real edge]

the only gpu that handle ray tracing well enough is the 4090

[golden stream]

ya ^

and also maybe the av1 format handling

[real edge]

the 4080 is below par in raytracing even if its a good step up

[inland mauve]

€900, I use 1440p

[modest moss]

I mean, I played cyberpunk with a bunch of rtx settings on with dlss at 1440p and it looked great and performed pretty well, so it depends on your expectations

with 12700k and 3070ti

[real edge]

that too ^

what I consider up to par might be a high standard

[modest moss]

if money isn't an issue like you say, it might be worth looking at spending the extra and going 13700k and 4080, that should last a good few years

[real edge]

buy a 7900xtx from germany

if you think the 4080 is too expensive

1100euro or so

and you get 4080+ raster with the ray tracing of a 3090 or so

[modest moss]

just be aware if you buy amd you'll get bullied by the tech mentors

[real edge]

true

price to performance is king for me so this gen I cannot recommend nvidia with enough conscience

[inland mauve]

I'm not opposed to AMD, the problem is that I don't know anything about AMD products

with Intel and Nvidia, I at least have an inkling of how it all works and compares

[modest moss]

I'm not sure I'd recommend gigabyte gpus though so if you buy AMD from where Nhad is suggesting probably go Sapphire, afaik they've always had a solid rep for AMD GPUs

[celest violet]

Sapphire is goat

I had a sapphire rx 590 and a sapphire radeon vii

both still run

[modest moss]

friend of mine had a gigabyte 3090 die after 18 months and found a bunch of reports of gigabytes dying

[celest violet]

I was honestly sad that when I 'upgraded' to my 3080 I had to turn down settings from my radeon vii cause of vram

[modest moss]

I bought my wife a sapphire (I think) 4850 back in the day and it was great

[real edge]

with rtx in mind the 7900xtx is the only product with a price that is not absolutely nuts that still has reasonable ray tracing performance

[celest violet]

only game I rtx on is minecraft

if we dont count reshade raytracing

[modest moss]

personally if I were Rad I'd find the extra and nab the 4080 I think

but the 7900 would be great anyway most likely

4080 does cost a lot but feels quite a safe bet to get 4-5 years from

[celest violet]

4080 plugs are scary frfr

[real edge]

the 7900xtx runs on 8pin connectors mind you

while the 4080 runs on new connectors

[celest violet]

if I upgraded from my 3080 i'd go to a 7900

[modest moss]

god I hate tech, it's all so complicated and unreliable now

[celest violet]

if only i could get a decent price for my 3080

I do like that my 3080 is liquid cooled tho

never have to worry about the temps

[restive bobcat]

Mine isnt and it is rough

[odd sand]

I have no idea what my GPU temps are. I like to leave it as a black box that just works /s

[deep sapphire]

It’s everything now days

Quality control has gone to total shit in the last couple years

Doesn’t help that a massive amount of senior employees retired during the pandemic and you have all these new employees who don’t know shit

[modest moss]

I sometimes wonder if it's us getting older and grumpier, but back in the day you might spend a little more time setting up windows or your LAN, but once you had it'd work for ages rather than windows randomly shitting the bed on a forced update

[deep sapphire]

There’s this old guy at my work named George he’s been here almost 50 years and he always teaches me something I’d never know.

Having people like that around is invaluable

[deep sapphire]

Yeah who knows, it’s like windows search

In windows 8 it worked wonderfully now it can’t find shit

I’ll type in an application in the search and it’ll show a bing result

Like ???

The start menu has become essentially useless

You use to be able to glance at all your applications real easy now you gotta scroll forever to find shit

[modest moss]

bring back 98se

[sharp star]

yeah the new connectors suck but thankfully mine hasn’t melted yet because I actually plugged mine in all the way

[odd sand]

There is a config choice whether to do a local search or web search. What the search finds is also dependent I think a bit on if content is indexed, but also if the applications have a shortcut in the start menu folder. I had to do this to re-add some existing apps to search after reinstalling windows.

Bc clicking on desktop shortcuts is so 2005

[torpid kayak]

is a mesh PC case must-have? Or as long as the front can let air in, it works?

Fractal is not welcomed cuz I cannot access them, btw XD

[real edge]

a pc case is mostly about

[deep sapphire]

Oh, I had no idea thanks

[sharp star]

I personally use a Fractal case (Torrent) and it's worked awesomely for me

[inland mauve]

anyone here have experience with NZXT cases

I'm looking at the NZXT H5 Flow, looks like a nice case

and not as expensive as the Fractal Defines

[jaunty light]

you were the guy buying silverstones and lian lis before they were cool huh

oh im sorry mr. antec 900, i have a silverstone tj07

[sly elk]

lian lis were always cool, what are you talking about?

didn't realize these custom builds were so pedestrian

[sly elk]

i remember when like 90% of pc builds were chieftec dragons

ahhh yes another one

[jaunty light]

theres cool and theres mainstream cool, nobody was affording lian li then

at least if i remember right, the dude that always had a lian li had the 400, 500usd ones

[umbral moss]

GM quality as usual

can't wait for honda EV sales to eat shit because they're using the same platform

Apparently, the sealing won't keep water out at 24 inches deep.

https://tenor.com/view/super-high-quality-shea-whitney-the-best-good-quality-mark-and-graham-gif-19328684

[sly elk]

to be fair, 24" of water is a lot to ask for a car. a honda anyway.

for a hummer it should be nothing though lol.

[umbral moss]

ultium is the underpinning for both GM and honda EV platforms

so if the hummer pack can't handle 24 inches of water, none of them can

0-60 3.0s, 9000lb, handles like a Hummer on 305/70/18s, 211 ft stopping distance (from 70), 540 ft from 100.

211 foot stopping distance lmao

I can stop sooner than that using my goddamn transmission alone

how hot a 5800x3d can be for non-overclock gaming? 🤔

it can’t overclock but it’s toastier than the non-X3D version

[inland mauve]

why are Gigabyte GPUs like 100-200 euroes cheaper than the other brands

I built this in a h510 flow

it's not bad, bit small for my fat fingers but I got it done

[inland mauve]

I haven't decided yet whether to build the new PC in the NZXT or move my old PC over into it and build the new one in my existing Define R6

[torpid kayak]

mesh case, 3 intake 3 exhaust and Peerless Assassin 120 should be cool?

[inland mauve]

the Define R6 is bigger and has more room

but that NZXT supports the latest USB standards for its external ports

idk what peerless assassin is

noctua is great

[torpid kayak]

I would go for it but I wish there is another color 😦

[inland mauve]

there is

they released a version in total black

but it's a bit more expensive

[torpid kayak]

I see a black Noctua, but it is kinda smol

[inland mauve]

there should literally just be a black version of the NH-D15

that is too old

[torpid kayak]

at this price I would just go AK620 :shy:

it will not cool the cpu

the black NH-D15 was actually cheaper than the regular version when I bought it

[torpid kayak]

https://kccshop.vn/tan-nhiet-khi-noctua-nh-d15-chromax-black/

$150 roughly

[real edge]

too expensive

that's overpriced for sure

Of course the speaker looking like a boom box was obligatory

How did this movie even pass

[inland mauve]

I placed an order for the PC parts

that was too much money

but thank you all for your advice over the past few days

it helped me put together a well-informed list of components

and justify some of the more expensive ones to myself

[real edge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/939302838398504961.gif?size=128&quality=lossless

[modest moss]

what did you order in the end Rad?

[inland mauve]

I gave in to my mind goblin in the end

[modest moss]

13600k and 4090?

[inland mauve]

13700KF and 4090

[modest moss]

shiny

[inland mauve]

in return I've decided to finally go through some of my old subscriptions and cancel them

so that should earn itself back by the time it becomes outdated

[modest moss]

of course now you need a fancy 4k monitor too

[inland mauve]

maybe at a later date

for now I have a 1440p 165hz with very low latency

[modest moss]

you'll cap that in just about everything, and then some

[inland mauve]

maybe this machine can finally run Crysis

and the next space program of the NASA

[real edge]

hopefully from germany lol

but congrats

enjoy

[lost python]

god damn

i hope your PSU is ready for that

[inland mauve]

I thought about it really long and really hard

and then I realized that we are probably all dead in five years anyway

[lost python]

fair

better get a big TV then too for some actually good HDR gaming

[inland mauve]

I ordered a more powerful PSU as well

[real edge]

that is what she said

[sly elk]

dayum, sounds like a nice build.

I can't wait to see the results!

[real edge]

waiting for the 7800x3d might have been a good choice there

[sly elk]

I think maybe that'll be my cue to upgrade haha

[real edge]

but still good

[torpid kayak]

too many x3d. Time to put my PC into a freezer

[sly elk]

i want the best balance of performance per watt because I don't need my computer getting hella loud when gaming

[torpid kayak]

try mineral oil submerging build :3

[odd sand]

To be more lifelike, all the Then statements need to be tied to an odds table powered by rand(int) where instead of doing the logical thing, they do something else that's probably less efficient or self-inflicting

Average college student: Exam is coming up in a week, you need to study. Odds table where 75% of the choices are Wait(86400);

[sharp star]

yeah

GN called the 7900X3D a waste of sand without using those exact words

I think someone called the 5800X3D AMD’s GTX 1080

something so good and priced so well

[umbral moss]

too good

the 7950X3D is absolutely something designed to coast on the success of its predecessor, like the 2080 over the 1080

just more expensive and somehow significantly worse

[inland mauve]

I'll let you know once I got it all up and running, assuming the cable thing doesn't happen to me

[wide hill]

doesn't 7950x3d sound like the top-end chip?

[lost python]

Imagine a time in the future when you can spend a lot of money on top end hardware and it just works.
No funky drivers, no weird issues that cause it to spontaneously combust, no overheat because the card is horizontal instead of vertical...

I kinda want an actual usb-c hub

not a thunderbolt laptop dock

just a regular usb3 hub that has usb-c ports

oh they DO exist

I might have to grab one of those so I have some convenient usb-c ports on my desk

[cerulean talon]

They're super nice.

[sly elk]

yea it's kinda stupid that for the most part, monitors and keyboards and stuff aren't using them.

i mean, some are. maybe even a growing number lol. idk.

https://web.archive.org/web/20050112043302/http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

I miss when they actually advertised that hahahaha

[dusty otter]

sorry is 13600k + 6700 xt good enough for Diablo 4 ARPG and FF14 MMO?

[modest moss]

easily FFXIV, idk about D4

oh yes easily based on https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/251518

[dusty otter]

cheers tyvm

[modest moss]

should run great

[potent arrow]

nice pfp shue

[modest moss]

which one do you prefer

I got 12 AI cursed versions of the one Gin drew

[potent arrow]

this

[modest moss]

sold

[torpid kayak]

hm go back to 12600k or 5600
5800x3d looks nice, but it is x2 the price and I gotta invest more in airflow case and cooler/fans to keep the heat down
Plus I dunno buying a CPU only for FF14 justified the trouble :shy:

[deep sapphire]

What do you have now

[torpid kayak]

nothing worth to carry over to new PC. i5 4460 and GTX 960 😄

[deep sapphire]

It’s okay I have a 6700K

Old PC buddies

Either option is fine, the AMD setup would be much more efficient

You’ll see massive gains regardless

[torpid kayak]

uh huh

[deep sapphire]

I’d choose whatever is more affordable for you if you’re in a tight budget

[torpid kayak]

12600k is usually get a discount to 5600X price when I build a PC with it

my budget is weird. It can stretch, but every time it stretches, it hurts my kokoro

[deep sapphire]

Well my suggestion to you is to save your money until you are ready to buy every part at once

[torpid kayak]

yeah that's my plan. I give myself a month or two to research. My build changes a lot from 3060 to 3070 to 3070 ti to 3080 to 6800 XT, from 12600k to 5600 to 5800x3d

I stop myself at 3080/6800 XT

[deep sapphire]

!hank

Yeah good idea

Kupo is slow tonight

[torpid kayak]

hm are games made by Unity CPU or GPU bound?

google said they CPU-bound :d

[deep sapphire]

@hard drift

Didn’t you say the new X3D chips would BLOW Intel out of the water

[hard drift]

It’s because amd went cheap

If both ccds used vcache it would’ve been great

But to keep the same price they were fucking dumb

[deep sapphire]

AMD IS DONE

INTEL IS THE BEST

[hard drift]

nah, they just need to not promise to launch at the same price point as current products

[deep sapphire]

7800X will be a good chip

7950 and 7900 feel like scams

[hard drift]

yeah, but the 7950x3d could've been great had both ccds had fucking vcache

not this one has it one doesn't and applications may fail to select the one they need

[hard drift]

or guarantee that the user gets what they pay for not this stupid "up to 1gig" BS

[deep sapphire]

It just seems like AMD used this to offload chiplets

The excuse of “costing too much” sounds more like “tooling would cost too much”

[hard drift]

i have a feeling next gen they'll do both with x3d rather than this current gen and gamers will see it and be in awe

what they did this time around, 7800x3d just makes sense over the whole lineup

the greatest things these new chips have over intel is damn powerdraw because holy shit the x3d chips are efficient

[deep sapphire]

At full core load sure

At idle and average load Intel is slightly better

[torpid kayak]

Don't be Intel. Be like Mac :3

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

even while gaming

not just idle/average

amd just did right for powerdraw

[torpid kayak]

be one with Apple

when Westwood still existed and EA Games was not suck.

[deep sapphire]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17641/lighter-touch-cpu-power-scaling-13900k-7950x/3

Westwood was the best

[hard drift]

what is a westwood

[hard drift]

this isn't KS vs x3d

old news

[deep sapphire]

KS is a niche sku designed for overclocking and nothing else

[hard drift]

and the 7950x3d is a niche sku

[deep sapphire]

Just add 100 MHz to a 13900K there you go

[hard drift]

go ahead, argue it

[deep sapphire]

Yeah it’s niche in that nobody should buy it

[hard drift]

not wrong this time

FUCKING HORRIBLE CHOICE AMD

[torpid kayak]

I see a used Inno3d 3080 that claims to "have exchanged for a replacement". Make me wonder why it gets a replacement in the first place 🤔

[hard drift]

now the next thing that's going to kill me is if nvidia keeps making money moves on these features going to make me go team green with all these features i'd actually use 😭

[torpid kayak]

Nvidia is temporary, AMD is fleeting, Integrated graphic Intel is forever

[hard drift]

integrated amd is forever

integrated intel runs like shit

[torpid kayak]

laugh in tray CPU XD

[deep sapphire]

AMD is just bad

Scams customers

[torpid kayak]

mobo's intergrated graphic

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

that is a straight lie

[deep sapphire]

It runs like shit without it

Yuri's Revenge kinda sucked though. Ruined pvp balance

[torpid kayak]

[odd sand]

Yeah, like that.

They remastered RA1, I'd like to see RA2 remastered with the ability to play pvp without the expan units and modern non-dogshit matchmaking.

That was the biggest problem with RA2 back then was it took like 5mins to load and someone would get dropped during loading 75% of the time lol

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-like-a-chevy-chevrolet-car-truck-car-brand-gif-15140536

somewhere, somehow, someone's still using a gma950 for gaming

[paper tusk]

and probably screaming on twitter that the most modern game they can play is Omori

[torpid kayak]

Intel Outside where the case is opened for ventilating the heat 😄

[deep sapphire]

[torpid kayak]

I keep reading people doing cinebench and heating their 5800x3d to 90 Celsius degree. I wonder normal gaming like FF14 would make the CPU hit that kind of temperature 🤔

[modest moss]

no

[torpid kayak]

I assume they test it for overclocking potential?

[modest moss]

I don't think you can OC that chip, but not sure

they're likely just benchmarking the system as a whole with storage/ram I'd imagine

[torpid kayak]

[sly elk]

[hard drift]

look at that laptop cpu dominating

[sly elk]

i like how they put away their steering wheel but left the shifter attached

they should use it to select virtual desktops or something lol

[wintry drift]

it's a c clamp to undo that shifter iirc

pain in the ass to do it every time

[sly elk]

yea that's.. why i want a wheel stand xD

[odd sand]

I mean, so is the wheel...

[torpid kayak]

7700x is like $15 higher than 5800x3d. Performance seems roughly the same, save for that 7700x seems to less hot? 🤔

but it only uses DDR5 RAM. Meh, nvm :shy:

[real edge]

DDR5 ram is cheaper but

its still kinda sorta pricey

need DDR5 6000mhz to get maximum performance

and a 6000mhz ddr5 cl30 kit is about

200 euro here?

[golden stream]

^ and also the issue of DDR5 mobo are expensib as HECC

[torpid kayak]

hm the more I check 5800x3d, the less impressive it becomes in my eyes 🤔
5800x3d - $378.97
12600k - $210.35
5600x - $201.92
5600 - $158.08

nearly x2 the price, but FPS gain is only noticeable in a few games like FF14. Don't see the worth :shy:

[real edge]

well what other games do you play

also 5600x to 5800x3d is a big jump

what is the price of the 13600k

[torpid kayak]

I play FF14 but in unsub for now. Other games are often non-AAA games

[torpid kayak]

$294.66 for 13600k

[real edge]

the jump to intel is pretty big in terms of motherboard cost + ddr5 ram

depends on local pricing

[dusty otter]

r u aloud to use ddr4 for intel? or too much bottleneck?

[real edge]

too much bottleneck

[torpid kayak]

well I plan 16GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM

[real edge]

tbh I'd recommend 32gigs

[dusty otter]

ohh good choice momo

nvm 32gb betterhaha

[real edge]

for 5 years

the corsair kit I gave you seemed neat for the price

yea

local pricing for intel boards seems shit over there

[dusty otter]

sorry is there bottleneck if use 12th gen intel board with 13th gen CPU?

[real edge]

z690 boards are overkill

[royal forge]

Uhh

Ye

Z series are... overkill

[real edge]

if you use one with 13th gen cpus its fine

[torpid kayak]

thinking doing so. I open game and mess around with multi-tab firefox and a dozen of background apps. Perhaps it is better to have more RAM

[real edge]

some games also suck up quite some ram as of late

16gigs is still ok but I doubt its longevity for 5 more years

[torpid kayak]

currently, my PC is eating 6.7 GB 😄

btw, I think B660 mobo can host 13th gen? Require some bios upgrade, I believe

[real edge]

they can but ehh

[dusty otter]

any thoughts if I should pair 6700 xt (used market) or 7900 xt with a 13600k chip?
I only play ff14 mmo and diablo 4 arpg atm. at 1440p

if I go with 6700 xt I dont have to upgrade my PSU yet, and can upgrade again sooner
when a shooter title ie. CoD or Battlefield or GTA6? catch my interest.

if I go with 7900 xt I would pretty much upgrade everything all at once.
(some youtubers keep saying current gen gfx card not great value, not sure if they are just haters though)

I am coming from 7th gen Intel i5 7600k and gtx 1060 6gb.

[lost python]

depends on how much money you want to spend honestly
but if you just play those games rn and if you want to save a little, then id just go with the 6700

[real edge]

definitely not the 7900xt

the 6700xt is great value

go with that

[dusty otter]

ok cool cheers ty both!

[lost python]

with a bit of luck you might be able to find a 6750xt or 6800xt for a similar price

[real edge]

^

[dusty otter]

its weird i dun think the xx'50 series launched in my country hong kong xD

like no one has them, but ya ill see if can fit 6800 in budget

[real edge]

if its worthwhile value for money

[sharp star]

yeah but you have to either borrow a CPU so you can flash the latest BIOS or use a BIOS flashback function, if any

[inland mauve]

bruh yesterday my package tracking code said it would be delivered today but today it suddenly says the package wasn't received yet and has no estimated delivery time

it's going to be a saturday delivery for sure

hey guys, so I got hit hard from asus QC

dark kingpin isn't available, can you suggest me an enthusiast or at least high-end motherboard? budget is 600EUR max

[lost python]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xt-gpu-drops-to-799-100-under-msrp

[real edge]

not surprising

its not good value at all

if if was 600 then it would be

it dropped here as well

by a big amount

[sharp star]

I think they should drop the price more and that’ll be a final nail in the coffin for the 4070 Ti

[dapper nymph]

decided to check up what's on the back of my motherboard, turns out it was a common thing for the msi series of x570, using the gaming plus.
well, i don't have the alcohol to clean up the vrm "oil" it has on the back

[real edge]

it might be worth buying at 700 or so euro

[sly elk]

Huh

[sly elk]

Maybe they should have made them better

It's like what... 3% gain over the 3000 series?

[dull garnet]

No...

[real edge]

its a big gain over the 3000 series

but they are overpriced

so nobodys buying em

[sly elk]

I don't understand that

aren't they on paper worse spec-wise?

like narrower data bus for the ram or something?

[real edge]

better nanimeter process

but yes bus widths are lessened across the board

but still the 40 series has some big gains over the 30 series, its the price that is the problem

[sly elk]

meh. the only thing that would make me upgrade right now... is a quieter gpu.. omigosh this thing's too loud

[real edge]

I have a 1070 so I want to upgrade but these prices prohibit me from doing so

4070 ti pulls punches with 3090 but the memory bandwidth knee caps its actual value (in fps to moneys) at 4k

3080 is a much better value (in the settled down post scalping price) but it's obviously not exactly an option anymore (edit: as new old stock)

[dull garnet]

Kinda messed up a 2 year old video card is a good option

[kindred brook]

that's not freedom units

[hard drift]

that's right tell them metric users

[deep sapphire]

The basic contemporary form of socket is hexagonal, referred to as "6-point" for the pointed intersections where its six solid sided facets meet. These are attached to the driving tool via a male/female square connection fitting (called the square drive). Standard sizes of square drives around the world include 1⁄4, 3⁄8, 1⁄2, 3⁄4, 1, 1+1⁄2, 2+1⁄2 and 3+1⁄2 in (6.4, 9.5, 12.7, 19.1, 25.4, 38.1, 63.5 and 88.9 mm) square drive sizes (a de facto international standard with no metric equivalents)

[hard drift]

JESUS CHRIST HANK

free delivery tomorrow gotta order now

[deep sapphire]

we have some 3/4 drive sockets at work

largest is only 2"

never used it for anything

koken sockets are the best looking

[hard drift]

i prefer this over that koken

[deep sapphire]

you just do everything opposite of me

[hard drift]

nah, i prefer darker less shiny metal lol

[deep sapphire]

impact sockets are ugly

chrome sockets are nice and easy to clean

impact attract shit and rust

[hard drift]

i don't like chrome though 😭

The fact it got pulled to 60s is a meme.

I used to use userbenchmark site for fun (mostly to see how outdated my build compared to a more recent build). Didn't notice they are now full anti-AMD

https://i.imgur.com/7T4dDfP.png

[real edge]

they are

they are turds who spread misinformation

and the sad thing is, because of people ignorant for tech googling for "vs" stuff, they are continuously at the top of google results

[royal forge]

yep

[paper tusk]

I've been doing some cpu comparing lately (since need a new bed side laptop) and most of the top results are complete shit

[torpid kayak]

hm this shop is so lacking of product diversity. Some items that have to choose as replacements are overpriced compared to other shops, and they even have a fanless case, which is supposed to have pre-installed fans. (perhaps plucking them out to sell to other customers). The only thing you can give them a thumb up for is that they offer 2 years of warranty for used VGA cards. A used 3080 at $631.82, btw

In the end inflated costs of other items get offset so much to the same amount of just buying a brand new 3080 in another shops D:

[paper tusk]

if my budget wasn't shit would probably get a mini pc or something with a 3050 in case my desktop explodes or something (re: driver problem i had a week ago)

[sly elk]

brutal

[torpid kayak]

if you ever get one, try ASUS Prime AP201 case :3

[real edge]

I would highly recommend getting a tiny ssd for your windows cause if you ever need to reinstall windows for whatever reason, everything on the main windows drive will get wiped

[torpid kayak]

but well, I used to have an optical drive that gets short-circuited for no reason

[real edge]

so its best to have it isolated somewhere for easy reinstalls

[sly elk]

or at least, have a secondary ssd for storing your documents and pictures and stuff

[torpid kayak]

can I just get a cheap gen 3/sata one?

[real edge]

ye

not HDD, a very cheap SSD

[paper tusk]

I was thinking this. it's shit, and it's cheap (and has room for a 2.5 inch extra ssd) https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-SEI10-Generation-i5-1035G4-Processor/dp/B09NKQQSQP?th=1

[torpid kayak]

used kingston 64 GB 😄

[real edge]

if your case has built-in fans you do not need aftermarket ones

[torpid kayak]

so it is better getting a 250 GB SSD and a 500 GB one? My current PC uses the exact setting

[paper tusk]

500gb tends to have better usable performance and write endurance so would suggest it as minimum for a boot drive

but that's my dmub 2 cents

[sly elk]

-shrug- ordinarily i'd say get the biggest single SSD you can afford

[real edge]

my windows is on an old 250gb ssd and its fine

[sly elk]

worry about getting additional SSDs later

[real edge]

and I got a 500gb m2 ssd later and a 1tb HDD

1tb hdd for old games and visual novels

m2 for modern games

[sly elk]

i have 2 1tb ssds in my machine right now

and tempted to get a 2tb lol 😄

but i uninstalled some stuff that was eating up more space than I cared for

[paper tusk]

same. only 2 m2 slots because thanks msi

[sly elk]

yea you can always do HDDs as well

as long as you don't mind the noise

[torpid kayak]

hm... my Samsung Evo 500 GB SATA is likely still in warranty

[sly elk]

(and slower, but not horrible read times)

[torpid kayak]

perhaps I should make it my C: drive

[sly elk]

dangit I

screwed up here lol. I was looking at getting a wheel stand for my racing wheel

[paper tusk]

reminds me to remove an old sata cable from the spinner drive I decommissioned when upgrading to a 8tb storage drive

[torpid kayak]

just not sure if I should put my windows OS in Gen 4 one or in SATA one

[sly elk]

now i'm pondering if i should just go full psycho and buy a sim frame with a chair too

[paper tusk]

for a boot drive it doesn't matter as long as it's reliable

[sly elk]

lol getting me nostalgic for the old hard drives

bah as sleek as they look, I think the playseat trophy** is too small for me

the challenge looks ridiculous xD

[sly elk]

-ordered the wheel stand-

if I decide I absolutely must do a sim rig instead I'll just send it back ><

also this usb power blocker makes me sad haha I guess I can use it for my kvm or something

[golden stream]

try nguyencongpc or hacom at least their price is p gud

[torpid kayak]

https://i.imgur.com/lPdBQWG.png eh at this price, I rather go 5800x3d

the ISP technician came over

he's been fucking with the router for the past 30 minutes

even tho i told him the meshwifi is fucked cuz the router is trash

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sly elk]

lol

ISP owns the router?

[royal forge]

ye

im just renting

so.. my power to do anything is limited

and obv the house owner wont drill a hole in her flooring to thread an ethernet cable

so

ye..

(even tho im p sure I can give a very good idea how to fix it)

Ah

he's fuckin with the connection again

he has to walk upstairs to test the wifi

even tho a smarter way would just be to walk to the front of the house

just sayin

also, remind me to install CAT 6 all over my house in the future

[sly elk]

meh

at the very least, I'd have wiring installed for the spots where I want APs

that's it.

having wiring in every room is great and all

[torpid kayak]

hm in my place, buying Internet sub gives you a free router (plus meshes depend on how pricey your package is)

[royal forge]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

alright

SO

This so called superior d-link mesh wifi

cant deal with one layer of cement

or two

you need open air between the two routers to "propagate" the mesh wifi

holy shit

this is like

top tier jank

[real edge]

My router from 4 years ago has signal through cement to the kitchen and one mesh wifi does not?

[royal forge]

wifi works

but the fuckin mesh wifi wont

dont ask me the reasoning for such stupidity

i miss when i had a 1Gbps to myself

i think after they """fixed""" it

it got worse
