they give me this impression that they don't support their motherboards lol
no mention whatsoever of the x570 or their ftw boards

what are the options for amd/nvidia gpus around the $200-250 range at the moment?
im thinking of moving away from my rx580 as im seeming to have issues, i'd prefer nvidia but i know amd is probably better price/perf atm
odd sand
IMHO they decided to roll out triple the product stack SKUs without hiring more engineers, so they probably can't keep up with bios updates for everything. Bc it's all subtly different.
For some reason, they all seem to be doing this lately, and I can't understand why bc it will be a nightmare to keep track of all that.
CPU, motherboard, and GPU makers all rolling out too many SKUs
PSUs kinda been doing that for years as well
EVGA has what? At least 5-6 quality grades spread across a dozen wattages?

the 1080Ti was a real powerhouse when it came out, it can still run most games at maxed out graphics as long as you don't touch the raytracing
odd sand
Yeah I have the 10gb 3080 so I wouldn't go past 1440p, and even then I would probably run into issues on Ultra
Why should they when they're dumping games on the market running a choppy 20-40fps on high-end cards?
jaunty nacelle
someone's selling one for $200 in my area
odd sand
Even my 3080 on 1080p drops down to like 45-50fps during bigger firefights in Darktide from 90-100
jaunty nacelle
hows thermals on the blower version?

odd sand
I'm on a 13900K so theoretically the only CPUs that are gonna top that now are maybe 1-2 of the X3D chips
Either way it's an optimization issue
jaunty nacelle
i believe so
odd sand
I think the facepalm is the scheduler can't differentiate the cores to make sure games are on the ones backed by the cache
jaunty nacelle
@tame fulcrum is it worth to pick up @ $200?
they might be able to negotiate lower tbh
what 2000 is ~roughly~ comparable to a 1080ti? the 2080/2070?
odd sand
I'm surprised that Livemixer board is only $250. Something themed like that these days I would expect a lot more
Look at benchmarks of other cards you can get for $200 atm and decide. I would assume the answer is it's better than them but
Just keep in mind you're probably still limited to 1080p or 1440p med bc of the vram
jaunty nacelle
i barely play higher than that at the moment
odd sand
Generally speaking for each new gen you bump the tier down 1
IE: 1080 is 2070 is 3060
Since it's a Ti and that one in particular I think was a good bit above the regular 1080, it complicates it a little bit tho
inland mauve
the 1080 Ti was insane for its time
odd sand
Whereas after that I feel like the Ti versions were only a small bit better than the regular
The 1080Ti was basically a 90 class card before they had that naming
jaunty nacelle
i actually was just recommended a 5700xt and found one for decently cheap
and those are almost as good as 1080ti
well, within reason
oop
potent arrow
You know what's insane
The amount of 1080 and 1080tis still in service
I HAD A HARNESS
jaunty nacelle
the performance of the 5700xt seems to put it in line if not better in most circumstances
potent arrow
if ya gonna berate me get it right
jaunty nacelle
-in most games
inland mauve
The amount of 1080 and 1080tis still in service
well games have only recently started getting to the point where a 1080Ti is no longer sufficient to max them out
ignoring RTX
inland mauve
because the first generation of RTX ready cards could barely run it well

is it really a GPU if you don't need to design the rest of your PC around it
jaunty nacelle
at $110 it's kind of a steal for a gpu of this performance is it not?
odd sand
I can already see it for 60 series: "Can you really say you have a good card if you aren't tripping the circuit breaker on a 15A home circuit?"
Call up the electrician "Yeah, I need a 30A circuit added to my home" "Oh yeah? Renovating your kitchen or garage?" "No, it's for my computer room."
"Oh, you run a home lab?" "No, it's just the one desktop"

I take it back you're playing OW2
jaunty nacelle
I mean it's served me well for the ~4 years I've had it
It's run everything I've thrown at it
though it's now seemingly hitting some sort of issue where if I turn on some things it just dies
honestly I'm not sure, but with the issues I've been facing it's at this point that i need a new gpu to actually game
it's dying when I turn on reshade shaders
it like... doesn't kill the pc, but my monitors are saying they aren't getting signal and shut off
I have to force reset to even get the system to turn off
The performance increase from an upgrade to something like the 5700xt also tempts me
Since I limit ffxiv to 60fps atm so I can actually use the gpu to watch things like shows in my second monitor lol
odd sand
Couldn't you achieve similar by just capping fps?
jaunty nacelle
is it common for a dying gpu to be louder
it used to barely make any noise on ffxiv
now during things like eden it's spinning, when it barely does
deep sapphire
clean it and repaste it
dying GPUs usually have weird artifacts and graphic glitches
jaunty nacelle
the only thing that ive been experiencing are the weird overheating glitches
deep sapphire
just buy some canned air, blow it out
see if that helps enough
if not
take it out, remove the cooler and add new thermal paste

the more tensor cores you have the better DLSS 3 works or nah ?
when you pair a new processor with an older chipset/socket that supports it via BIOS updates, do you lose performance ?

this new pc upgrade cost me thousands of EUR, but the next time I upgrade i can upgrade just with a gpu or other additional stuff but it'd still be significantly cheaper than replacing literally 95% of the hardware I had

depends on the surface material

i'm not sure i'd do the cutout in the middle though
wood
sly elk
but I've definitely had times where I decided for some reason I wanted to turn the table around
it's nice to not have a 'front' on a table sometimes
torpid kayak
well, both fronts have cutouts
sly elk
i.. legit just used an ikea dining table
i like this
royal forge
compared to, say, a plastic one
torpid kayak
hm
sly elk
you can't win with a folding table! they're always uneven, especially the ones that fold in the middle too
royal forge
so i have zero clue
middle folding ones are askin for trouble
cuz if the hinge breaks
ur ded
sly elk
they fold the other way
sly elk
but if you're loading a table that much, well...
royal forge
and stains would be SO obvious
royal forge
ye, depends on how much you're planning to put on it
im also not comfortable with glass tables for some reason
it's like
sly elk
most people aren't 😄
royal forge
feels... delicate?
at least with an Ikea furniture
i can SORTA say "i can be a bit more forceful"
torpid kayak
I like one with a some cutout to get cable down. Hate the little hole in the middle of the table, because my monitor stand likely just occupies the thing
sly elk
i think it's because most commercially sold glass desks are really shitty
they use glass that you can bend by resting your hand on it lol
i have some furniture made out of that kinda glass and I'm always wondering how it hasn't broken lol
torpid kayak
I don't like glass desk, too heavy and it hurts when I hit them :shy:
sly elk
but most of our furniture uses heavy glass
torpid kayak
bulletproof glass funiture :3
sly elk
it's not bulletproof 😄 that would be laminated glass
laminated glass wouldn't look right without a frame imho
it's got that sandwich layer thing going on
torpid kayak
does MDF wood work? 🤔
sly elk
otoh it'd be nice to not worry about it dumping your stuff on the floor if it breaks
royal forge
sly elk
but i don't plan on throwing broken ceramic stuff at my desk, so it should be ok
sly elk
but if you weigh less than like hmm i'd say 400lbs you can probably sit on my desk without breaking it
idk about the frame though
sly elk
the adjustable height frame i use is only rated for like 350lbs and the top itself weighs >100

oh I forgot the ultimate accent to a wooden desk

hm plywood or solid wood? 🤔

ahh but i do like interesting wood patterns
that diagonal pattern is neat

i would like a LED backlight

you should look around until you find what you dig

just want something simple. The more flashy and complicated it is, the more pain to clean them up

i dont get the plants

YES complicated setups are more of a pain to clean up

i mean, IF i did

it takes me a while x_X

especially when I move the screens around a little to clean underneath their stands
and move all the candles and stuff off my desk
clean the speakers, etc
it's work x_X

aw yeah my 90 degree 12VHPWR adapter from CableMod finally arrived
I can finally close my PC case

I ordered the wrong cable alongside it
why do all of these brands need to have their own specific PCI-e connections on the PSU?

I'll have front row seats when the shitty default 4xPCI-e to 1x12VHPWR adapter burns through 
not having to use that piece of shit anymore was the entire reason why I ordered a custom cable with the adapter
but they were ASUS/Seagate PCI-e PSU connectors, not Corsair PCI-e PSU connectors, silly me
what a fool I am, what an absolute clown, for not knowing that
umbral moss
how dare you expect a standard connector to have a standard adapter
inland mauve
I'm trying to see if I can trade in this cable for the Corsair version
inland mauve
if not I might just return the whole PSU and substitute it with one that has a built-in 12VHPWR connector
and sell this cable on Marktplaats I guess
real edge
but they were ASUS/Seagate PCI-e PSU connectors, not Corsair PCI-e PSU connector...
there are specific connectors for specific psus? shouldn't those things be universal?
umbral moss
you'd think, but yet
inland mauve
yeah be extremely careful when you order additional PSU cables
ASUS/Seagate PSU cables literally won't fit on a Corsair PSU because the pattern in the pin shapes is different

corsair HXi 750w gang....

it's all ecosystem lock-in

real edge
I do not even know where I put my PSU box in my house to see how many connectors it has
6+2 are the ones that go into adapters and gpus right
the fuck?
and modern gpus need 3-4 of the damn things?
modest moss
Yes they want you to buy a new psu
golden stream
Hol up uh
This is what you absolutely need:
- The 24 one
- the CPU one
The kinda need:
- SATA power up/periperal
- that 6+2
My box of SFX 750 (corsair) comes w 3 of 6+2 I think
umbral moss
I kind of wish someone would take a headsman's axe to the fucking ATX spec
do we really need 24 pins these days, most of which don't supply any meaningful current anymore?
real edge
idk where the psu box is in my house
inland mauve
golden stream
I have one right here lol
umbral moss
can't we just have a 2stronk 8 pin +12V connector with voltage taps on the board itself?
what's the point of having a 25A/5V rail, literally nothing uses that anymore lmao
golden stream
I HATE the 24 pins one fffffff
It's so damn stiff tf
umbral moss
and the design of modern CPUs is that you step down the 12V to the CPU logic anyway
umbral moss
all those vaux connectors are +12V going through 15 step-downs to get 1.5V at 150A
inland mauve
it saves on so much space that the card needs around the 12VHPWR connector and makes the cable management way easier
umbral moss
I HATE the 24 pins one fffffff
It's so damn stiff tf
because it's all twisted and using ATX-spec wire gauge 
so you have 24 16 gauge wires twisted together
for all of, uh, like 6 of those wires to actually get used
inland mauve
but holy shit do I hate that stupid little adapter
the CableMod cable is so much sleeker and easier to work with, it would be a much better solution if I could actually fit it in the PSU 😠
torpid kayak
cuz my 60cm-width depth is too small for a 27cm monitor stand, currently I have the blue part staying "floating" to save some space. I ensure that the monitor stand straight firmly and not wobbly or anything. Will this cause any harm?

Do you kno some good software for audio recording?
I need it for a project, and simply recording my normal mic audio is kinda shit
inland mauve
I've been looking for a good simple mixer to mix my computer audio with audio from my switch so I can play while watching a stream or being in a voice call with friends, anyone know a good one?
potent arrow

audacity or adobe auditions
I use audacity : P

Ive never had an issue with audacity even when doing actual production work
picks of rumor?

Like, maybe it is my mic, but there is a low buzzing sound here and there

oh thats not the software
change the gain on your mic
theres also an filter that removes noise from the backround

Is a monitor arm an option
hm there is. But not sure if I wish for one since I want a new desk too
torpid kayak
you might want the arm regardless
https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4 this one looks okay? there is a nearby shop that I can grab this for $17, I believe
potent arrow
Monitor arms are usually mandatory for me

damn these Zealios are pretty heavy
graceful pine
Like, maybe it is my mic, but there is a low buzzing sound here and there
that's your mic being overcompressed clipping the audio(likely because it's not good)
noise reduction and a noise gate as was previously mentioned
potent arrow
if you need audio help let me know grimm, I spend too much time doing it anyways lol
graceful pine
I know audio very well as well
potent arrow
I do need to fix my mic eventually
old jetty
ty, will do if needed, it is my first experience and I'm just doing it for myself to learn something new (with a shitty mic, ye)
potent arrow
using diy pre amp rn for it
graceful pine
I just have an sm 57
potent arrow
but I think I put the wrong cap value on the board ._.
graceful pine
if I record my acoustic guitar I have a contact mic as well
like a 5 buck chinese made contact mic since they are so simple
graceful pine
it's not a vocal mic but I'm a shit singer so whatever
potent arrow
Yero
I want a condenser mic eventually
but I have to finish acoustically treating my room : P
graceful pine
I'd get an SM7 or an AT2020 if I wanted to actually record vocals
potent arrow
the difference between the sm57 and the sm7b is so minuscule I wouldnt notice it in my works
potent arrow
Unfortunately
the streamer effect
I have been looking around for a c414 ULS
but they seem to be so rare in my area
graceful pine
just did a google and a vintage SM7 is like 800 bucks
old jetty
what's a good budget mic btw?
potent arrow
yeahhhhhhh
potent arrow
Well if you have an interface you can get what we are talking about
AT2020 or the SM57
graceful pine
though yeah it does need an interface I forget about that since I use one with my guitar all the time(pretty much never use physical amps)
potent arrow
for interface you could just get a scarlette solo, which is like my bare minimum
good investment really
I am of the opinion USB mics are fucking worthless
but thats just my hot take
potent arrow
I dont want to pay more then 70$ for a usb mic
and thats pushing it
after that I would buy an interface and mic for 200$ lol
umbral moss
probably to save on already limited space on the motherboard tbh
time to change the ATX spec, rather than just shrug and say "well, we always did it this way"
the 3.3V and 5V rails do basically nothing and you could absolutely move that tap to the board instead of needing 24 thick-ass pins when 8 would suffice
sly elk
cuz my 60cm-width depth is too small for a 27cm monitor stand, currently I have ...
that monitor stand is absurd lol
torpid kayak

odd sand
but I have to finish acoustically treating my room : P
Yeah that's the problem with my AT2020, it picks up everything. Cardioid is a lie heh
graceful pine
I just keep gain low and run a noise gate for the most part
that usually blocks out most of the background noise

How budget is your budget?
Also any other spec or function you'll like?
I'm using Zoom h1n as both recorder, mic and DAC, works like charm

we're gonna get another video on another catastrophic failure
Apparently it's more of Asus's fault than AMD's
severe flax
Tech's been spicy as of late huh?
paper tusk
Apparently it's more of Asus's fault than AMD's
from what I know it's a flaw in core voltage control that's resulting in the VDDCR pins drawing more than they are designed to handle. the fix is a bios update to only allow negative voltage rail adjustments.
paper tusk
msi has updates so sounds like asus dropped the ball again
graceful pine
Like 100 at best tbf
that’s the price of an at2020 but it will also need like a 70 buck audio interface(my interface is like 170 bucks but I also use it for my electric guitar)
old jetty
Oh, DW, saw your message roan
sly elk

are you not considering a samson q2u because you specifically want a cardiod mic like an at2020?
(this is totally fair)
and why not use the mic on the same interface as the guitar? Or is that for interference reasons? (I have heard some interfaces aren't the greatest at isolating inputs)
graceful pine
I already have an sm57
And mine is on the same interface that I use with my guitar
