It’s all down

[royal forge]

Number big tho

[golden stream]

ya

[dire viper]

DDR5 is not that expensive

[royal forge]

I mean, i dont wanna say the dreaded f word

But

Future proof

https://tenor.com/view/rina-tennoji-rina-love-live-sifas-nijigasaki-gif-20277939

[golden stream]

but ye DDR5 for futureproof

[paper tusk]

it's still cpu/memory operations limited during hunt trains. graphics wise it goes by any gpu is good enough (because of the legacy code)

[sly elk]

if you bought a ddr5 setup now and upgrade in like 4 years, the ddr5 will be higher clocked then probably

i wanna see someone make a hella unbalanced build with an i3 and the cheapest shit motherboard/ram/ssd, and a 4090

[paper tusk]

I'm down for that. if I had the money for the 4090 😐

would even do a meme cpu comparison between an i7-3770, amd fx 6 core, r7 1700, r7 3700, and r5 5600x3d

since that's what i have on hand systems wise

[golden stream]

Iz dat a challenge

[potent arrow]

I think my friends build is a 13-12100F, 3090ti with 8gb of ram

so there's that

[sly elk]

hehe

I don't like it, but I understand

[golden stream]

well I do have a decent spec w 8GB ram

still gud 45fps in Limsa 1080p max tho

[rain sand]

if you get a 4090 or the other amd gpu get a 4k monitor
it can be 8 months from when you get it but just get it

[rain sand]

bottleneck holy moly

[austere socket]

if you think that's a bottleneck

my rig has a 3060ti

.. with an i7 from 10 years ago

[rain sand]

LOL

god i7 was made 10 years ago?

[graceful pine]

The bottleneck

[modest moss]

Ice had that i3 and 3090 build for a while

[odd sand]

Going on a wiki walk of planes for some reason and it's interesting how Boeing would increment the model numbers, but they weren't always for replacing the ones you might think.

eg: 767 debuted 12yrs after the 747 as another widebody plane, but it wasn't replacing the 747, although it still saw use for international flights between like the US and europe.

Then you had the 777 which was replacing the 747, but the 787 is more like the replacement of the 767 than designed to replace the 777.

And then of course you have them using 737 for ALLTHETHINGS where the shortest variant seats like 125 min. but the longest stretch variant in single class seating can reach 220 and the planned MAX10 would push that to like 238 or something?

Which pushes right up against the seating capacity of the 787 and smaller 777 variants.

[odd sand]

Rebuilt his system so many times in a 3mo period he can do it in his sleep

[opaque river]

hello, i require the help of some tech savvy people.
is it possible to split my lan cable into 2 via an adapter or something ? the lan cable itself is coming out of a powerline adapter and its the only way i can get a wired connection into my office.

i would like to both have my desktop and console with a wired connection cause the wifi is really weak cause of the many walls

[modest moss]

powerline adapter to a basic switch will do it

you can get a gigabit switch for like 20 these days

[opaque river]

and that wont cause any issues ?

[modest moss]

shouldn't do

[opaque river]

mhm okay ill get that then, thank you

[modest moss]

https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-5-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07S98YLHM/ this sort of thing should be fine

[opaque river]

[sly elk]

It's because of training certification stuff

Just like any other company

Airlines are cheap fucks and don't want to train their pilots

So they are pushing Boeing and airbus to make all their planes identical to fly so they don't have to train the pilots to fly more than 1 plane

[odd sand]

I think Boeing is doing that all on their own bc they want to push out the new models and plane sales ASAP

Kinda like how Boeing threatened to cancel the MAX10 if congress didn't give them a waiver for de-icing flaws in the MAX7 and 10 designs

https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/boeing-fixed-problem-max-jets-exemption-safety-rules-106147798

Leaving it on for 5+mins could cause permanent dmg to the carbon fiber cowling on the engines, so they want pilots to light-switch rave them for months or years until they develop a retrofit fix

[dire viper]

lol lmao

I met one of the guys that would have to figure out a fix for that

at one of those job shows

[wraith agate]

That's just a bus

[sly elk]

or to make the locals feel better about it, a "BRT" (bus rapid transit lol)

[odd sand]

Road train /s

https://tenor.com/view/train-road-futuristic-gif-8697942

This is novel if a bit terrifying

Maybe if cars are computer driven only so you know one of them won't suddenly try to change lanes

I could see the "train that runs on road" being useful in a mixed configuration where most of it is still on protected tram segments ala the one that runs thru Odaiba in Tokyo.

[sly elk]

that train is stupid and makes no sense

[odd sand]

Bc that is ultimately an exclusive roadway

They have one like that near Osaka Bay as well. So I dunno if it was simply meant to be "eco friendly" or if there is some other reason to run those over a normal train in bay areas

Ooooh I think I get it

It's bc of the grade

They need to go from sea level to high enough in the air for boats to go under it etc. within a very small physical footprint.

So while there is probably at least a bit of a novelty factor, it's probably easier to do that instead of setting up a chain-lift carriage like you might see on a mountain.

[sly elk]

llol

i am suddenly reminded of those bus lounge things that the dc airport used to have

dc dules airport was designed so that instead of the plane parking at the terminal, you got on a giant funny looking bus

and the bus would go from the airport building to the plane

and it would go up/down to match the height of the plane

[graceful pine]

I could see the use here of not having to build actual tracks

But it still has to be segregated from traffic

[sharp star]

https://fxtwitter.com/Dachsjaeger/status/1744085189045964967

I
what

[deep sapphire]

I miss lightning

now we're stuck with a shitty port that fails after 100 insertions

just like micro usb

[wise jay]

micro usb is my least favorite port because of those stupid ass prongs

[deep sapphire]

micro usb was horrendous

usb c is better but it still gets loose quickly

[wise jay]

lightning is so damn poggers because of the notches

[deep sapphire]

all apple had to do was update the transfer speed of the connector

and nobody would have complained

lightning was goated as a physical connector

[marble owl]

when I was an Apple certified ios tech I saw A LOT of lightning connector pieces broken off in phones

it was a small piece shaped like an U

[deep sapphire]

thats because the stock cable was a pile of shit (which I will fault apple hard on that)

thin ass cord

plus people rip the damn things out so hard

[marble owl]

I can't tell you if it came from stock apple cords but that piece was so common to find in phones.

I pried a lot of them out

[deep sapphire]

at the end of the day I would much rather the cable break than the port

which is the problem with micro and USB C

they just get loose and no matter what eventually you're gonna be ghetto holding that bitch in there

[sly elk]

could be worse

the worst connector ever made

well, not the worst but one of the worst

the worst usb is this one:

and it's even more hilarious that samsung used that connector on some of their phones

i think the worst phone connector is a tie between that and the one sony ericsson used

everyone else used a barrel jack lmao

[sharp star]

communism is when unified charging and data transfer standards

[sly elk]

let's just make a phone with an ethernet port

and then it charges via POE

and comes with an ethernet cable that doesn't have the rubber jacket thingy to keep it from tangling

... which doesn't really do much to help

and makes it harder to push the latch in

[dire viper]

The Hatsune Miku Walkman

https://youtu.be/dhEQkb6uqzw?si=4cvaSklGruYY6PxT

[celest violet]

I had an s9 for like 4 years no issues, if it wears out on the iphones it's solely apples fault

Usb c is the best

God bless lightning going away

Now if only someone could teach apple how to not make batteries ass to replace lmao

[dire viper]

as right to repair gets stronger in the US maybe

Apple keeps getting shit on

[sly elk]

how many thousands is it going to cost lol

[dire viper]

let me check

HOLY CRAP

365

[sly elk]

what doesn't everyone have a tool chest of spudgers and a heat gun to take the cover off

[dire viper]

if it wasnt 365 I would buy it asap

[sly elk]

$365? that's all?

[dire viper]

for a walkman thats a lot

[sly elk]

no it isn't lol

[dire viper]

what happened to walkman pricing

[sly elk]

iirc they make some that cost $3k

https://electronics.sony.com/audio/walkman-digital-recorders/c/walkman-mp3-players

[dire viper]

oh

[celest violet]

Eh honestly the issue is the adhesive they use, not opening them

[dire viper]

too much

[celest violet]

The adhesive is a fucking safety hazard lmao

[sly elk]

369 is basically retail for the miku one

[dire viper]

256GB capacity

got damn

oh so this is intended to be like

Sony's top end audio player

[sly elk]

you';re supposed to buy the new iphone from your mobile company on a 36 month plan

[dire viper]

despite other companies selling ones for 500 dollars in the same league

[sly elk]

and then do that again the next year

and do it again the next year

so you can change your 13 for a 14 for a 15

[golden stream]

ya it's for high-end audiophile

[dire viper]

thats too much tho

[sly elk]

lol

I assume after the $500 model

it's all snake oil

[dire viper]

it depends

[golden stream]

the storage must be quite decent for all those lossless tracks

[dire viper]

but unless its made of exclusively the best available hardware and tech

[sly elk]

the DAC was made from silicon farmed from a mine furthest away from radiation

for the purest resonance

[celest violet]

True, 1000+ every year for near minimal or no changes at all

[dire viper]

yea but 256GB storage solutions dont cost very much

[sly elk]

we had the PCBs blessed by trappist monks

[dire viper]

even in any of the solid state formats

[golden stream]

ehh the storage is just the cheapo one

[sly elk]

and we made sure the PCB traces practice good feng shui

[dire viper]

FiiO's counterpart costs 650 bucks

[sly elk]

the funny thing to me

[dire viper]

and considering FiiO makes some pretty nuts DAC's and what not I would go with them

[sly elk]

is like head-fi or reddit or whatever when you get into audio they're like

[dire viper]

Sony isnt an audiophile company, especially with how they fucking configure all their shit

[sly elk]

either buy this $xxxx thing from some ffunny german company

[dire viper]

also im fairly certain that you can buy a pair of Empyreans for less than the cost of that Sony Walkman

[sly elk]

or! buy this $xx thing on amazon from a random chinese brand like

[golden stream]

well sony is weirdge

[sly elk]

-pokes his headphones-

[dire viper]

yes

Empyrean cost the same

[sly elk]

FAAEAL

[dire viper]

and Emyprean's need literally NO power to run

[sly elk]

it's especially hilarious when you look at IEMs and earbuds

[dire viper]

they are like a true top end set of headphones

[sly elk]

the recommendations are totally polar opposites

[golden stream]

tfw Moondrop Para is around samey price w Senn HD600 if in price

[sly elk]

either buy this $10 amazon knockoff brand that has good reviews

or spend $55000 for the finest hand-made artisan goods

[golden stream]

Delta Airline IEM

someone literally tuned it

and turned out to be quite decent'

[sly elk]

the thing that got me laughing on slickdeals the other day

lately the hobbyist market is just dying from lack of demand and surplus of stuff, especially if it was made overseas and shipped in a container

you can get guitars for sub-pre-covid pricing, especially the low end ones

so KEF lately has constantly been cutting the price on their overpriced bullshit speakers

someone on slickdeals argued they're audiophile gear

I mean sure they're basically bose for millennials

[dire viper]

https://mezeaudio.com/products/meze-empyrean

oh the Empyrean's arent made anymore

unfortunate

these were like truly top tier for the price

https://youtu.be/mtqBpXzB0Q8?si=-7dIkNqydSR4XwWl

lmao, he shows some 280 Pros at the start of the vid and I have those

they are actually so good for the price, especially cause they just go on sale so often

[dire viper]

yea erm KEF is kinda crazily overpriced

cause we still have local speaker shops in the US

and you can get custom speakers and what not tuned up for like sub 6-7k easy

like probably 4k for a setup from a custom shop

[sharp star]

now teach it to die

[dire viper]

https://youtu.be/47jP4YlqPZ4?si=bp33uYclBBZ7j_Vu

Natrium reactors are cool

molten salt based reactor

[potent arrow]

I just realized one of my wheels only has 2 studs

uhhhhh

[dire viper]

smh

go to centerlock

[potent arrow]

my arms are too tiny to torque that

and my impact is mega deadge

[dire viper]

they sell a specific tool now for it

instead of having to do it with the 5 foot breakers

[potent arrow]

OK BUT WITH WHAT MONEY SIR

[dire viper]

but that thing costs like 1200 bucks

which isnt too bad actually

[potent arrow]

the dog box costed us 15000 in all

[dire viper]

15000???????????????????????

[potent arrow]

In terms of budget, we no longer have a budget

[dire viper]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-oxygen-gif-21529238

[potent arrow]

yeah it's a decent brand new sequential dog box

not like a conversion kit but a proper sequential

[dire viper]

fuck

oh thats fair ig

all the exotic and race car scrap yards are always under wraps anyways

hard to find them

there is a scrap yard in cali full of GT3 race cars apparently

and lots of guys pull their transmissions out of those cars

[potent arrow]

I also don't trust a scrapyard sequential

[dire viper]

fair

[potent arrow]

we adapted the FSI to it and it's already a huge ask

[dire viper]

lmao imagine doing like

the old style center locks

where you hammer them on

[potent arrow]

lord

I managed to get it to 627 hp

marginally better then my last car

[dire viper]

627 got damn

good shit

[potent arrow]

it's gonna shred the tires

[dire viper]

at least u dont need beadlocks

[potent arrow]

but like 600hp and the sequential is uh

I'm pretty happy lol

[dire viper]

yea im sure thats better than what a lot of guys have

[potent arrow]

I'm gonna do body work and paint next month and it'll be aight

[dire viper]

especially if you are doing local tandem stuff

its funny watching guys like Noriyaro and they just have a big turbo road car that overheats after every run and thats "good" even in JP lmao

[potent arrow]

first year I got an official LJR number too

which means I can compete for money and be registered for bigger events

I am going to probably get my ass beat

but it's gonna be fun

[dire viper]

real

https://youtu.be/nATfBYJ_2js?si=qFq9Yy3P7CnuTZKD

[potent arrow]

I'll see all these nice BMWs and subuwus

and then there be my fucking grand am

[dire viper]

Subaru's

huh

[potent arrow]

they are everywhere here lmfao

[dire viper]

oh well

cheap shell yea

[deep sapphire]

are you saying you put 600 hp on a grand am?

[potent arrow]

MHMMMM

[dire viper]

nothing in a subaru is gonna stand any performance driving

[deep sapphire]

lets see some pics

[potent arrow]

Im now where neaaar the car hank

[deep sapphire]

you got no pics of it?

damn

[potent arrow]

I rarely take photos with my cars usually, this year that'll change

I'm kinda proud of it

I want to actually put money into the livery

[dire viper]

flames

[potent arrow]

no

[dire viper]

cause flames are cool

[potent arrow]

yeah untill it's not painted on flames

[dire viper]

lmfao

[potent arrow]

idk I hate being the ass that's like yo look at my car and it's a 1990s beat up rust box with two intakes sticking out of it

that was like my old track girl

so I took photos with the team and stuff for my college

but hid that shit under the rug for the most part

[dire viper]

if it works it works

considering most motorsports is grass roots anyways nothing really ever surprises me lol

when you do one make and class racing I think its a lot different but

to me drift should have a lot of personality from the drivers and the cars they drive

Falken's cars are the definition of "personality"

cause they have so many different cars with different drivers

[potent arrow]

yeah

[potent arrow]

you can derive the term "Old ass bitch" from my car

given I wear bomber jackets and wayfarers and drive a fucking grand am

[dire viper]

im sure if you got an FD driver looking at your car they would love it lmao

it sounds incredibly goofy

[dire viper]

yea but that sounds cool

Hoonigan spot light level car

[potent arrow]

my college gave me too much money to play with smh

[dire viper]

one of the JP FD champs drives a mostly stock S15 Silvia and hes like super giga old man

45 years old or something

[potent arrow]

Silvias are niiice

[dire viper]

outside of actual FD he doesnt really drive anything crazy

he just drives a shitty S15

and hes still faster around a circuit than people in built R34's x_x

[dire viper]

me when 240SX and 180SX prices are just so high despite the cars not even being that good unless you dump lots and lots of money in them

[potent arrow]

meanwhile

[dire viper]

LMAO

my grandpas playlist 💀

[potent arrow]

JDM vehicles just don't exist anymore

HUSH

[dire viper]

not even joking

all of those songs are on his playlist on the ipod he has in the truck

[potent arrow]

pretty much my life

[dire viper]

they exist, its just nobody is willing to sell lol

240Z's went up in price directly because of the 35+ group has lots of money now

and when they grew up that was one of the existing classics that they couldnt afford

its how non 432 240Z's go for like 60k

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire it's that time of the year again

[dire viper]

and 432 Fairlady Z's are worth like 500k+

[potent arrow]

THIS IS TOO TRUE

[deep sapphire]

that road is like glass

where the snow plows at putting sand or salt

[dire viper]

oh Sarah, wanna know what is just down the street from me right now :)

[potent arrow]

probably a rural area

[dire viper]

a Primadonna Z

[potent arrow]

wait I don't think I'm allowed to make that joke here

[dire viper]

LMAO

[potent arrow]

UHM

ooo that's very nice

[dire viper]

yes

theres only a few of them

im not sure on the specifics but

a very famous JDM resto place is near me

and they have one of those in their shop

[potent arrow]

what are those goofy a headlights lmfao

[dire viper]

I actually zinc plated parts for a super rare R33 skyline they had

one of the low production limited models

[dire viper]

race car :)

all the Primadonna Z's were made at like an apartment complex or something lmao

a guy was making them out front of his apartment

[potent arrow]

I crave a skyline

[potent arrow]

probably heavy as shit fiberglass

[dire viper]

as long as its not an R34

R33's and R32's are actually affordable for skylines

if you dont want a GT-R you can get them for even cheaper

but then you dont get the big bad engine and the all wheel steer and all the other fancy stuff

[potent arrow]

yeup

[dire viper]

yea the one car he made in that parking lot is pretty chunky

he ended up making lots of kits tho

but mostly ended up doing them himself, in parking lots

same guy and his wife lol

Briefly, Jack Atkinson built three totally custom 240z cars in the early 80’s. Heavily influenced by the wild IMSA Z ‘s and Porsche 935 bodywork, Jack hand-fabricated the body pieces and affectionately named the cars “Primadonna Z’s”. Only three Primadonna Zs were made.

[potent arrow]

tbh I'm still saving for a second Daytona more then anything rn~~

[dire viper]

Daytona?

[potent arrow]

second gen charger r/t with Daytona package

[dire viper]

oh heres the R33 I did some parts for

[potent arrow]

was assembled near where I grew up and I love chargers lmfao

[dire viper]

its a R33 GT-R V-Spec N1 with 400R LM GT1 wheels

[dire viper]

so real

Chargers are goated

[potent arrow]

when they stay on the road

[dire viper]

yea...

Challenger 440 T/A would be what I want

or no

thats the 340

cause it was an up-stroked version of the 302 used in Trans Am

my grandmas brother bought a 440 Six Pack new back in the day and got tboned the same day

was a complete write off

he only lived cause they hit the passenger side

[potent arrow]

blegh

[dire viper]

now he has 8 cars

[potent arrow]

that sucks

[dire viper]

two coronets

[potent arrow]

that doesn't suck GIVE ME ONE

[dire viper]

both are Super Bee's

he has a brand new last call charger super bee

he HAD an original Demon

but he gave that to his daughter

[potent arrow]

anyways imma put the respirator on and finish this skyhawk

[dire viper]

and she daily drives that even in the winter 💀

Dodge Dart Demon was so goofy

but so sexy

[dire viper]

A-4 gang rise up

I hope DCS gets an official A-4 in game

but also the community made is based off of multiple real ones from the US and EU

plus has feedback from A-4 pilots lmao

mfs get their grandpas to flight test their mods

[dire viper]

I loves him

[neon shell]

moniter arrived pog

144 hz. I no longer have a 60 hz one

[dire viper]

pog

its a life changer

[neon shell]

had no job when I bought that previous one. Could barely buy anything higher then 60

[dire viper]

real

my second monitor is my first monitor

got it for like 60 bucks

[neon shell]

gonna sell it. I don't have enough space on my desk for a third monitor. Besides dust, everything else is in working condition

[neon shell]

how many hertz?

[dire viper]

72

[neon shell]

that's not a bad deal honestly

[dire viper]

yea, the colors arent very good on it but for just playing games its whatever

[neon shell]

tbh when playing games, you could barely tell

because your focus is on something else-the game

[dire viper]

idk I can tell

whenever something is slightly off it messes with me

I am constantly changing my setup lol

[neon shell]

And how nice of asus to give me a Philips screw in the box

thought they would be cheap like everyone else

[neon shell]

kidding, I doubt they were being nice xD

[inland mauve]

I'm building one of these in modded Minecraft

a uranium hexafluoride-powered sodium-cooled fission reactor

[dire viper]

What mod adds that

[inland mauve]

Mekanism: Generators

[dire viper]

Oh cool

Are you using a pack?

[inland mauve]

yeah, ATM9

[dire viper]

Oh real

I remember when IC2 was still a thing and I would make uranium and plutonium and just drop them next to people and it would just kill them instantly

[inland mauve]

LMAO

[dire viper]

It was so much fun

[inland mauve]

Mekanism: Generators has nuclear waste that is radioactive

it even shows how much radiation in the tooltip

10 mSv/s iirc

but I'm not there quite yet, still building the damn thing

[dire viper]

Oh that’s really cool

I’ll have to give that a try then

yummy ray emissions 🤤

[inland mauve]

I have an ATM9 server, if you're interested in playing

[dire viper]

Mayhaps

I will let you know

[inland mauve]

the link to my Discord server is in my profile description

[dire viper]

[inland mauve]

[sharp star]

$200 down from the OG 4080?

damn

[real edge]

these are prices before tax

so for europe we should add 20% to those prices

:<

[dire viper]

Essential for the latest games

Erm

NVIDIA

It’s a 4060

[real edge]

my 1070 can play the latest games so not essential

the only one I would call unplayable is alan wake 2

[dire viper]

How much NVIDIA snake oil comes with the next launch panel they do

[sharp star]

Yeah Europe and Asia still getting fucked by pricing

[real edge]

the euro is worth more than the dollar

but pricings still fucked

well

mostly thanks to high EU taxes

VAT is dumb

[dire viper]

VAT gang rules

Don’t you love paying double on certain things

Tbf

As long as my taxes are used properly I wouldn’t care as much

There are some exemptions for stuff like safety equipment for vintage vehicles tho

Which is a bit interesting

Cause technically anything better than the old stuff can be considered a safety improvement

Simply buy some car parts from the US and hide a GPU in the box

[sly elk]

accept nothing less than a 4090!

4060? pft probably can't even play minecraft :rolls eyes:

i wonder how many people buy a 4090 and end up never needing the power lol

[dire viper]

Most people probably

A 4080 runs cyberpunk at ultra without DLSS and ray tracing on at 144 fine

The 4090 is like

Why

They shoulda kept it a work card SKU

[inland mauve]

[dire viper]

I think the Titan RTX is still better at work load stuff than the 4090 and it’s the same price

It is in some applications

The 4090 just has faster memory

You can also SLI bridge the Titan which is a meme

imo I feel like no money spared dev stations is probably to blame for some game bloat, also the fact that consoles actually reduced load time latency using some wizardry with how the RAM, VRAM and SSD all communicate

Like

The PS5 got some crazy cool shit going on

Stuff that doesn’t actually translate over to PC

Why must a 4080/4070 be required to run games at high consistently

[inland mauve]

it feels like there's some kind of conflict of interests happening behind the scenes between big game publishers and GPU manufacturers

where publishers can cut corners on AAA games by not giving their dev teams the time to optimize them, and GPU manufacturers sell more high end GPUs to compensate for that

I hope that is caused by managerial incompetence rather than actual backroom deals

[golden stream]

assuming 4k 60hz in max?

[dire viper]

4k is a gimmick

[golden stream]

eh if not 4k so idc as far as playable on le deck, my 4060 lappy should way be fine

[dire viper]

Like you can run older games at 4k fine but I don’t think that will ever be the case for newer games unless you are willing to actually spend too much money for an experience that isn’t worth it

4k makes sense if you play DCS with trackIR more than anything lmao

[sharp star]

8K is a gimmick

[dire viper]

Get an ultra ultra wide monitor

[golden stream]

not w my current place

maybe not yet

but if game + stream, ye a beef one is reasonable but 4090 is a tad.....too overkill?

[dire viper]

True

Kyanche with their ultra ultra wide monitor

THAT is a gimmick

But also I’ve played DCS on one and now require one

They’re also fantastic for sim racing

[golden stream]

sim racing and sim flight, ya

[dire viper]

Cause sim racing games like Assetto Corsa Competizione support them

[golden stream]

but for common things, prob just more space for multiple windows all at once

[sharp star]

you mean Yoshi-P approved zoomhacks

[dire viper]

Yes

[inland mauve]

I have an ultrawide

it is kind of hilarious to stream from it, Twitch doesn't support ultrawide resolutions so it gives me room to put stuff on the top and bottom

[dire viper]

How wide tho

[inland mauve]

as wide as 4K but as high as 1440p

so not sure what you'd call that... 3K maybe?

[dire viper]

I meant like inches/cm

Cause I was saying ultra ultra wides which is like the LG Odyssey

1.26 meters wide monitor

At the largest size

32:9 aspect ratio

57 INCH???

I thought they only went to 49

[sly elk]

they came out with it in september i think

7680x2160 😄

[dire viper]

Wild

[sly elk]

and that is what i'm using atm

[dire viper]

Oh wait

Those are the ones that kept dying after a few days

With 59 inch I could literally make a LMPh car cockpit in my garage

[sly elk]

yeaaaaa

so far mine's been ok

[lost python]

while redoing my room layout a week or two ago, i noticed that my odyssey g7 is starting to pop out of the plastic shell

[sly elk]

but i just got it hahaha

[inland mauve]

I have an LG 34GN850

[sly elk]

been like a week and a half

[inland mauve]

34 inches

[real edge]

I wish I had that much money to burn on a screen like that just to try it

[sly elk]

but yea that samsung quality

[inland mauve]

holy shit Kyanche

now THAT is wide

[lost python]

id love to experience an ultra ultrawide again. been a few years since i got to

[dire viper]

Hold on lemme

[inland mauve]

my monitor is 82 cm wide

[sly elk]

samsung had a really good EPP deal, and does free returns so... yea I did...

yeaaa...

[dire viper]

That monitor is the same width as the Porsche 963 hybrid endurance car’s windshield

It may be wider actually cause it’s a single seater car

[lost python]

lol

[sly elk]

what's dumber is I have a 25" next to it because it has the house cameras on it and.. I have nowhere else to put it lol

[dire viper]

The ultra wide monitor would be cheating in iRacing

[dire viper]

Can see more than an actual driver could

[inland mauve]

Senko mentioned

[dire viper]

Sussy

[lost python]

i need to get a second monitor again

[dire viper]

Just running the numbers in my head, yea that monitor would work perfect for like. A modern Le Mans super car rig

Most cars in those classes are about the same size

[sly elk]

goonite

[inland mauve]

bruh how do people do that thing where they play all kinds of copyright infringing music on their stream but the vod doesn't record it

[lost python]

It's so empty here

[inland mauve]

it's like magic

I need to learn that

my vods keep getting portions muted and I just play electroswing playlists from Youtube

[dire viper]

Vertical 4k monitor

[lost python]

so i can waste time on discord more efficiently

[dire viper]

Ultra long discord monitor

Exactly

[inland mauve]

vertical ultrawide monitor

put it up high on a pole

[lost python]

iirc its something you can set up in streamlabs?

[inland mauve]

so that you can broadcast yourself from it telling your citizens that City 17 is safe

[lost python]

with curve so it follows the curve your vision does when you tilt your head up and down

[inland mauve]

[inland mauve]

hmm

but I have just a single audio source for desktop audio

and another one for mic audio

there's probably a way to split desktop audio up into individual apps then

[lost python]

can use voicemeter or virtual audio cable or something to separate those iirc

[dire viper]

The only thing I’ve ever used OBS for was recording me burping

[lost python]

voicemeter seems to be the most popular way?

[inland mauve]

oh yeah I had voicemeter installed on my old PC because I tried messing with it

I'll give that a shot then, ty

well after work of course

[dire viper]

Voicemeter should work

It’s how people have on command shitty mic settings lmao

[lost python]

i kinda wanna stream again too but its too much work at first

[dire viper]

Where they turn their very expensive XLR microphone into sounding like it’s a webcam mic

[potent arrow]

@inland mauve dm me in the afternoon, I'll give you my v-cable license. it'll give you more options for routing and stuff. I can help with this too, used to blast Spotify while streaming and such

[inland mauve]

it's hella fun tho

[lost python]

if you have someone watching yes

[sharp star]

https://fxtwitter.com/GoodReddit/status/1744071139758858689

[inland mauve]

sarah

[inland mauve]

yeah true

[potent arrow]

don't forget I used to stream a regularly before the ACT raids on twitch lmfao

[inland mauve]

fortunately I have a friend who watches all my Minecraft streams because he enjoys having them on in the background

[lost python]

used to stream a lot of Osu and elite dangerous and stuff and it was neat

[inland mauve]

oh yeah btw I have a Discord server now for my streams and for my Minecraft ATM9 server

if you guys are interested in either of those, I put the link in my profile

I made reaction roles for both so if you're not interested in my streams don't take that role and you will not get pinged

[potent arrow]

lmfao I just pop in occasionally whenever you stream because you do it whenever I'm at the shop

[dire viper]

Bro bought the case used for doing dual mobos or lots and lots of SSD’s and didn’t do either

[potent arrow]

throw it on the projector while me and boys break something

think that was yesterday ish

[inland mauve]

omg

[potent arrow]

"funny euro man"

[inland mauve]

yeah I streamed late yesterday and only for an hour

[potent arrow]

yep

I get notifications on my phone lol

[inland mauve]

that's probably what my streams are going to look like going forward tbh, since I went back to work today

I need to finish this damn nuclear reactor

I accidentally destroyed most of my gas pipes yesterday with veinminer

[potent arrow]

better then when I forgot that you need to regulate draconic reactors

and had four of them detonate

[inland mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-the-frog-pepe-frog-shocked-what-the-heck-gif-17806223

FOUR OF THEM???

[lost python]

man, the most advanced thing i ever did was make an automatic tree farm and brick factory building that produced wooden shovels, which i then offloaded to other players on the server

[inland mauve]

you know if ATM9 had Draconic Evolution, I would totally have made that my goal

unfortunately it doesn't

Rob if you want to learn more about modded Minecraft, I will teach you

Create is an awesome starting point because the recipes are relatively cheap, you can whip up a tree farm with that in no time

oh yeah also let me follow you back on Twitch so that if you stream I will get notified

[lost python]

o ty

how many slots does your server offer?

[inland mauve]

I think it has like 10 or something, idk

I can easily increase it

right now the only people who regularly play on it are me and my friend who also watches my streams

I have a guide on how to install ATM9 in my Discord server

[lost python]

dm me the link

[inland mauve]

it's in my profile description but I'll also DM it to you

[snow cypress]

The 4060 just sucks

that's just an entirely lower tier of gpu, assuming they're on a laptop with a high wattage cap lol

[mortal condor]

4070ti super, oh come on

[dreamy chasm]

when's the 4070ti super dragon edition

[umbral moss]

I'm actually a little excited for that Intel 155h cpu

Could it be a realistic competitor to m3?

[dreamy chasm]

is it actually a new architecture

i read up and it apparently isnt much more powerful cpu-wise than whatever amd has for mobile chips

i havent seen anything concrete for the gpu performance on it yet

[umbral moss]

The igpu is really what I'm interested in

Arc is actually breddy gud, maybe battlemage will be ready by the time I'm budgeted for a new pc

arc drivers are still spotty at best

VR headsets cost far less

[dreamy chasm]

its apple

ya it has a bunch of weird ass features too

[lost python]

its not intended for general VR usage or games

[dreamy chasm]

aren't industrial vr headsets also pretty expensive

[lost python]

the type of clients buying this are either people with too much money or companies who use it for advertising etc
i have been in a car dealership that used Mixed reality to have you customize a car that you want and "show" it to you that way and its pretty neat

[sharp star]

My Quest 2 prescription lenses cost less than that

[lost python]

one of my clients a few years back was an architect carrying around a quest to show people his concepts

imagine selling a "new" cpu on and already EoL platform for 250$

same price i have seen 5800x3ds go for

[umbral moss]

When are the gen 2 am5 boards supposed to land? Q3?

[royal forge]

Lads, im kinda stumped. My port 80 is blocked for some fuckin reason and most of the supposed "required" ports are closed on my pc

I tried the inbound rule via firewall but nothing too

[modest moss]

probably blocked on the router

[royal forge]

Hmmm

Alright. Now i gotta figure how tae fuk do i deal with ISP custom firmware shit

[royal forge]

I'll probably ping ya tomorrow on it

[potent arrow]

just look up the router model #
figure out the IP and default log in
punch in the IP
and there's your dashboard

what are you opening ports for?

[real edge]

AI this AI that....I don't careeeeeeee just show us the new GPUs

there we go, Super series announcement

Wait, what? They're releasing another 3080?

[real edge]

only that much faster with frame gen ofc

[sharp star]

https://fxtwitter.com/Wario64/status/1744393571959222699

[real edge]

but I will have to buy one of those, the 1070 is aging and is 7yrs old now

I want 140+ fps

I just pray that the new GPUs will have the 12v6 connectors

seems like the rumors were true

now waiting for reviews

[sharp star]

"iPhone moment"

[modest moss]

4070 super looks decent value, what do you get from AMD at 599?

[cold yacht]

7800xt at 499

[modest moss]

probably still better value then, that extra 4gb is a lot

[cold yacht]

Thought both have 16gb memory

[modest moss]

4070ti super has 16, 4070 super has 12

at least that's what I read

[cold yacht]

Ahhh ok I misread

I thought you were comparing 7800xt to the 4070 super

[modest moss]

I was

7800xt, 16gb, $500 vs 4070 super, 12gb, $600

[kindred brook]

I can easily afford a 4090 now; that I have no debt.... BUT I WANT TO WAIT FOR NEXT GEN

my 3080 ti will have to keep my company a bit longer

[snow cypress]

$1600. Worth?

[modest moss]

not bad

[real edge]

prebuilt?

[snow cypress]

Friend trying to upgrade from his gaming laptop

[real edge]

he can get the parts himself and tell some pc store to build it for him if he wants a prebuilt

usually you get more powerful parts that way

esp for 1600

I think

[sharp star]

yeah

you can get the same parts for less or build a more powerful system for around the same price tag

[real edge]

^

[rain sand]

what pc part store

[real edge]

any

I go to a pop shop a single dude has

and he charges me anywhere from free(if its 5 minute work) to 20euro to change stuff inside my PC every few years

unless its taxing work like a PSU or case then he takes 50

[glossy ravine]

Prolly late but

https://vxtwitter.com/Wario64/status/1744393571959222699?s=20

Scrolls up lmao

Slow on a draw.

[real edge]

4070ti super looking good out of this stack

if the 4080S remains 999$ or 999euro then it will be decent as well

altho I doubt it, especially for EU

[graceful pine]

There are probably several you can find

Plenty of places that will build from your parts selection

Obviously have to pay more for the labor

[real edge]

^

they tend to charge less for labor than the huge OEMs like ibuypower

[dire viper]

That prebuilt above is actually crazy

1600 dollars will get you a 4060 and a base Intel or AMD CPU from most companies lmao

[graceful pine]

For 1600 yeah that’s quite good

Maybe want a stronger cpu

Bit of a bottleneck with just a Ryzen 7 5800 and 4070

[dire viper]

what the fuck is the Starforge twitter lmao

like even from Starfroge a 1700 dollar PC has an Intel 13600KF and a 4060 Ti

idk anything about the 4060 Ti other than its a 4060 😭

[graceful pine]

Yeah sticking with my 3060 for the time being

[dire viper]

4080 Super would be worth the money if it was actually gonna be the 1000 on launch (it wont be ever)

[graceful pine]

Nah it’s getting bought up absolutely

[dire viper]

it will never have enough quantity lol

the NVIDIA classic

[graceful pine]

My most recent upgrade was just going from 16 to 64 gbs of ram

Which will also last a while

[dire viper]

I was told that 32 gigs of whatever is fastest with your CPU infinity fabric (for AMD) is the best

but figuring out what the speeds are is

wizardry

its lots of BIOS stuff

[graceful pine]

Yeah I just bought two 32 Corsair vengeance sticks did the clock speed stuff in the bios and called it a day

[dire viper]

fair

my RAM is shit

its 32 gigs but its not fast and generic

might just go with whatever the fastest ram I can use is

[graceful pine]

I needed more ram for pro tools to run better anyway

[dire viper]

oh real

the agony of working with DAW's

especially if you havent ever used them before

I got actual training on Logic Pro but idk where it ranks with the other stuff

[graceful pine]

I’m an ableton live guy

But always gotta know Pro Tools

The piece of shit it is

Logic is good one of the more popular DAW’s

[dire viper]

I remember a few years ago it was more beginner friendly than like FL and one other one I tried, I havent tried Ableton tho

[graceful pine]

Perfectly acceptable in the pro world

[dire viper]

FL is cool but also FL hurts my brain

[graceful pine]

I’ve not tried FL or Cubase

[dire viper]

there are pretty big artists who only use the free version of FL

[graceful pine]

FL is very much an electronic music DAW

Ableton is more diverse

[dire viper]

yea 100%

[graceful pine]

Good for electronic and acoustic

As well as live performance

[dire viper]

FL is kinda based tho for just having a completely free version

obviosly it doesn't come with a lot of stuff but

the support for it in the freeware space is pretty good

even some paid stuff is like 10 dollars for all you'll ever need for certain genres of music

[odd sand]

$200 more for 4gb more vram whew

Wonder if you could solder on your own extra vram

[modest moss]

nah you do also get 256bit vs 192, more cuda cores etc for that 200

[dire viper]

wait so

NVIDIA did the smart thing and did refreshes that are more appealing to the consumer

[odd sand]

So what I'm seeing is they intentionally gimp the regular super to incentivize the more expensive one

[dire viper]

rare NVIDIA W?

[odd sand]

I wouldn't go that far, as this is still a half measure and Nvidia simply selling a "solution" to the problem they created

They set the insanely high MSRP, low bandwidth and vram amounts.

[dire viper]

Some times I want to sell my 35k in NVIDIA stock but also it just keeps going up

[umbral moss]

Charging $1000 for what used to be a $400 part isn't a w unless you're leather jacket man

[dire viper]

wym

[umbral moss]

People who own nvda 📈

People who want to see 80 tier parts not priced like a goddamn titan tier part

[dire viper]

Titan's still more expensive

cause

yes

the RTX Titan is only like 1500 tho

and its on par with a 4090 for its use cases

so there is no reason to buy a 4090 if you are doing a workstation

[umbral moss]

There isn't even a titan part this gen, they put the 4090 in that slot and told everyone to buy a tesla sku if they want the real titan

[dire viper]

yes

[honest panther]

pc nerds, is this good for a gaming rig

already have the underlined ones

[odd sand]

wtf? they want $220 for an 80 gold 650W now?!

[honest panther]

yeah the price for it went up

[odd sand]

I feel like those were maybe $80 a couple years ago

[honest panther]

they were

but inflation is a bitch

i just realized i forgot an os

[void dove]

prices go up by 250%,

INFLATION
🤣

[odd sand]

If you have an old key for like Win8 or 10 you should be able to use that on it and upgrade.

Or scrape it from an old PC someone else isn't using anymore heh

[honest panther]

unless i can scrape it from my laptop then i have no options

[odd sand]

I was going to say that instead of $60 for a 2TB HDD you should just get an SSD, but apparently those just spiked in price as well with the 2TB being back up to like $115

Yeah I dunno about that bc those are oem keys that are usually bound to that one piece of hardware

If you're in school or have access to an EDU email address, you could probably get an academic license for like $20

[void dove]

old Win7 keys should also work, i keep a bunch lying around from work and other places

was easy to scrape keys off old office computers in Win7 days, as tehy all had a COA key stuck on them

Win8 keys, were not on the labels so less so there.

[paper tusk]

can't do the 7/8 to 10/11 anymore :<

[modest moss]

i7 6700k what

that's about a decade old

[honest panther]

Yea it's an 8 y/o cpu I just realized

[modest moss]

not quite but old af

[honest panther]

how about this instead

[paper tusk]

getting warmer (the 3060 plain will be the weakest link)

[honest panther]

i dont really play modern games other than bg3

[modest moss]

that psu is a lot

[honest panther]

i alerady have it

stuff underlined is stuff i already have

[wise jay]

was there not a higher wattage psu for cheaper or is it from an old build?

[honest panther]

it was from an old build

[wise jay]

oh ok

[modest moss]

$230 on a 1080p seems a lot too

[honest panther]

i have a tv in my dorm i could probably just use

[modest moss]

buy a 1440p for a similar price

3060 will run a lot of stuff pretty well at 1440p and you can obvs still run things at 1080p

[honest panther]

do you think this build would be able to run the graphics update at 60fps?

also noted

[modest moss]

yeah probably

[dire viper]

if you arent using post processing it should be fine

my 2060 was fine enough to run FFXIV at 144fps as long as I wasnt in Limsa lol

I have a 3070 now and Limsa still makes it eat shit but I think its more a limit of how the game is setup

also isnt FFXIV more of a CPU bound game

[honest panther]

Any personal recs on monitors

[modest moss]

ping Nhadala

[honest panther]

@real edge what say you

[real edge]

pins

I have some recommendations

[honest panther]

looks like ill need to go with the 200$ one

thank you for making that resource 🤝

[real edge]

👍

the dell is so much better for a few more bucks, if you can stretch, its worth it

[honest panther]

i have a personal grudge with dell due to their laptops failing me time after time

[real edge]

monitors are vastly different from laptops

[dire viper]

yea the Dell monitors are a legitmately good product

I woulda bought one over an MSi monitor if I was smarter

[real edge]

the 200$ display was added as an entry level product for those with a tiny budget, and to discourage folk from picking 1080p displays as their main in 2024

its decent, but the 300-400 offerings are a lot better

[modest moss]

I have a 1080p Dell IPS that I bought in 2012 that still works ok

[sharp spruce]

I’m not really familiar with building pcs but, I was wondering about getting a new pc for Dawntrail. How expensive would a pc be for the recommended specs and and minimum specs

[compact pine]

I mean according to this you can still get away with a PC that's 5-6 years old with said parts

Depends on your budget to . Can always build around that . Any decent build it around 2k USD I think don't hold me to that

[potent arrow]

well for recommended

minimum system requirements is like ...almost 10 year old parts

you can easily build a sub 1k USD PC that'll run it fine

[compact pine]

Oh lool yeah didn't look at that to closely 6th gen intel is like 2015 ? But if you're buying a PC just to play ff14 maybe a laptop is more budget friendly. Unless the slow upgrade of said min spec PC would happen.

[sly elk]

yea dell monitors can actually be pretty good... if all else, they're durable....

You may find these links handy

[potent arrow]

A laptop is basically never the better choice.

[sharp spruce]

Oh well in that case I can wait for the benchmark and see how it performs

[potent arrow]

Im sure you can run it on that sub 1k pc build ive been throwing everywhere

the ole

i3 12100f 6600 wombo combo

Havnt kept up with the new gpus, idk if those are better

Laptops arnt the best idea for budget imo, for a good laptop experience you still want to aim for higher end

better to build a decent desktop that can already run basically anything

and have an upgrade path

Laptops to me are a neccessity thing, if you need to truly travel and move around....sure
Any other reason, no get a desktop

[compact pine]

Oh yeah I agree with that for sure. Just some people lean that was sometimes I suppose

[sharp spruce]

Yeah that’s why I want to upgrade I’m running off a laptop now

[potent arrow]

lots of options to choose from

itll be really easy to meet the rec specs

[odd sand]

What were the old mins anyways? Bc I was able to limp along at like 720p low 30fps on my parents i3-3220 igpu 4gb ram during stormblood lol

[potent arrow]

really low lmfao

like they still have comm ports and sound cards listed : P

[odd sand]

Unfortunately the desktop isn't as much of a clear deal over the laptop anymore bc stuff like PSUs, GPUs, and mobos have skyrocketed in price in the last couple years.

Like that picture earlier today of $220 for a 650W mid-tier PSU

I built a whole damn igpu system for my parents for $300 before the price hikes

[potent arrow]

I still put them over laptops solely due to how many laptops are just fucking awful
we got shitty laptop gpus that can be arbitary to figure out how they perform
Thermal issues that just render it a toaster
all around build quality
battery degradation due to using the laptop as a always plugged in work station
terrible screen options
etc etc

I have such a vendetta against laptops tho

[potent arrow]

Yeah i dont think I can do apu builds anymore

[odd sand]

Wasn't even an apu per se, it was just the i3 that has the igpu

[proven edge]

running anything that isn't HoMM3 puts my laptop in airplane mode, it will take off any day now, based on how loud the fans run

FFXIV makes it purrr like a cat on cocaine

[odd sand]

I know technically that's the same thing, but AMD has a pretty clear difference in their APU vs normal CPU pricing

[potent arrow]

fair

I never liked intel iGPU stuff

but thats because I personally had access to those ewaste tier gpus like the 1050

so it was always better for me to slap a 1050 and apu together

[odd sand]

It's not really intended to be a gpu replacement per se, more like it will run your monitor for you and do some 3d acceleration for menus or something

[potent arrow]

With how some websites run, I swear itll give some older igpus a run for their money lol

[odd sand]

You call it ewaste and yet 1050ti for a long time was one of the top GPUs on steam surveys lol

[potent arrow]

not the ti

just the 1050

low watt, bargain bin nightmare

him

3gb of vram

[odd sand]

The 1030 and 1050 are simple "one graphics card please" tier things for boomers or ppl that blew up their real card and can't afford another one for a few months

[potent arrow]

yep

i slam these puppies into random browsing machines

[odd sand]

I got some 2009 quadro card for my server during covid shortages for like $9 lol

[modest moss]

this is current, they're planning for DT specs

[potent arrow]

huh?

[odd sand]

Bc I literally just needed something that could drive a display for basic 2D rendering

[potent arrow]

the min there is a 970

the min here is a 750

[modest moss]

yes you linked the current min/req, I linked the new DT ones

[potent arrow]

they made the old recomended the new min

yeah because shinon asked for the old one

[modest moss]

basically

oh I missed that part then

[potent arrow]

am confused

[odd sand]

So essentially the recommended kinda became the new min

[potent arrow]

yep

again, doesnt matter because min is legit 10 year old potato

[modest moss]

and we know the game can run on less than the current min specs too

[potent arrow]

yep

[odd sand]

What does "i7 3ghz" even mean? When was the last time those recommended specs were updated?

[potent arrow]

hahahaha

[odd sand]

Bc a Core i7 3770K from 2012 is 3.8ghz...

[potent arrow]

Is there any processor that runs less then 3ghz

not to mention like

[odd sand]

I guess if they mean base without intel turbostep w/e

[potent arrow]

clock speed sucks

for metrics, because you can have a slow clock speeds but more efficient architecture

and itll perform better then a faster clock speed form 2005

[odd sand]

FF14 isn't that demanding, so I can see that being an adequate explanation for like 5 years ago but

[modest moss]

I still have an i5 2500k with a 960 in it, I'm certain it'd still run XIV at 1080p60 with no trouble, and probably be fine in DT too

[odd sand]

There's no reason not to simply name an actual model number, which I see they're correcting with the new specs

[potent arrow]

I built a pc for my fc member

i5 2500k with that shitty 1050

still running fine for raiding and shit

[sharp star]

I know a static member has an i5 4460, forgot the GPU

[potent arrow]

look at this fucking thing

oh actually a nicer 1050!

[odd sand]

Oh dear god, do they live in the backwaters of some 3rd world country to still be raiding on a 12yo PC?

[potent arrow]

Yeah

United States of America

[sharp star]

Same, except that backwater third world country is called the Philippines

[potent arrow]

I just build computers with ewaste/scraps

Because I know not everyone is fortunate enough to afford a pc

which I consider a basic right

so I helped him out lmfao

[odd sand]

That said, I've been thinking about seeing if I can resurrect my 3770 to regift to friends kids for minecraft or something. But the last friend using it said the USB was flaking out so I need to do some testing with a usb riser card and see if it still works fine outside of that

[sharp star]

Yeah I might do him a solid and send him that 3060 Ti/12100F system I've held onto

[potent arrow]

it runs fine...mostly

I ran that computer business for 7-8 years and whenever clients would give me old pcs or I upgraded their stuff

I would keep the old stuff so i can donate to locals

the least I can do, better then ewaste

[umbral moss]

The usb cable on my case broke so half the usb ports on the exterior don't work anymore

It's time to send this cursed box to the great gig in the sky

new 5000 series SKU's

neat

[dire viper]

cause they can

[void dove]

what, they struggling to sell off their old 5700x's or something?

seems like an odd choice

[dire viper]

probably not

its a 5800X3D but slower clocks

[void dove]

ah so bad 5800x3d's then

[dire viper]

probably yea

[void dove]

makes sense

once they build up enough stock, they make it a sku

not the first time this has happened

though, likely wont run forever

[dire viper]

the normal 5700 that was OEM only is now available to buy

[void dove]

unless they see enough demand that they start downbining 5800x3d's

[dire viper]

the 5800X3D is in low stock rn, it may not even really be in production anymore cause the prices are starting to go up on them again

it still is discounted from MSRP by AMD's official merchant account on Newegg tho

[zealous wolf]

am thinking of upgrading the gpu, but its either gonna be the rx 6700 xt, the upcoming 7600 xt or a 7700 xt/non xt
