wait

its one of those clip coolers

these

hook onto

these notches

if it sborken just rotate it and use the ones perpendicular to it

that square hole matches with those

geeze this is an old ass system

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/176201178869

thats the motherboard too

holllllllllllly

[deep sapphire]

2500

why are you even wasting your time

[burnt swallow]

I actually can't fucking get it to fit in the first place

[potent arrow]

It was

the dark era of cooler design

Ive broken motherboards installing those lmfao

I dont even know how to expalin where to begin

[burnt swallow]

He's buying a whole new system

After I told him his setup is fucking ancient and pretty much not worth even attempting to salvage

So I went through all that for nothing

[burnt swallow]

It gets better

That cooler wasn't made for that socket type

So it's a miracle it even fucking fit in the first place

[potent arrow]

I mean the bracket is what the cooler fits onto

[burnt swallow]

Yeah

That bracket isn't for a LGA 1155 socket

I've got three numbers on this bracket and none of them are 1155

But he bought a new PC instead so the whole point is moot

[potent arrow]

jfc

[burnt swallow]

To emphasize the difference

The system he bought has a Ryzen 5 7600 and a RTX 4060

[potent arrow]

yeet it in the sea

[burnt swallow]

Versus that i5-2500

[burnt swallow]

I told him to take it outside and set it by the dumpster

[potent arrow]

also idk if you noticed but you have like miliary squad info in this photo

[burnt swallow]

Ah fuck I didn't see it has names and numbers

[potent arrow]

LMAOOOO

I also recognize that

[burnt swallow]

I'm here for a grand total of two more months

[potent arrow]

So you really can yeet it into the sea

[burnt swallow]

I could

But

I live in the middle of the island

So the sea is a bit of a drive

I’ve only had it a year or 2, and unfortunately I paid a little bit over $2,600 for it 🤦‍♂️

^ oooof

i think it's hilarious how the market really picked up for the motherboards and keyboards

for a while newegg waas selling them cheap hahaha

[sly elk]

TIL these were a thing

[wide hill]

i think i need a better pc

[sly elk]

"IIgs upgrade" was an apple IIgs but instead of the usual case they stuffed it in a friggin apple IIe case for whatever reason

idk what that red text means

but yea I imagine not good XD

-headpat-

[sly elk]

thanks :3

[wide hill]

a bit difficult yeah since it's only running an Intel® Core™ i7-10510U

with the technology of Intel Ultra High Definition Graphics

[real edge]

integrated graphics

are a no-go

[inland mauve]

fullwide

[umbral moss]

Is that why people die to mechanics that happen behind them?

[torpid kayak]

hm Dawntrail benchmark gives me 100-110 FPS in normal average and a dip to 60-70 FPS in crowded one. Should I just set limiter to 60? 😮

[lost python]

why?

[torpid kayak]

dunno if I should, so I ask :d

[lost python]

you are just robbing yourself of experiencing the smoothness that comes with higher fps
unless you only have a 60hz screen

[torpid kayak]

144Hz one. My FF14 never reaches 120 FPS in 1440p, though

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1194906573592592484.webp?size=64

also I read that FFXIV physics are wonky beyond 60 FPS 😮

[paper tusk]

yeah it used to be really bad in shb before it was capped effects wise

(ps3 limitations please understand)

supposedly there was instanced of clipping under the world with a high enough uncapped frame rate (the gta 3 effect) but there wasn't much details beyond 2B glam looks like shit fix it

[lost python]

the physics degrade after 30fps already so

[lost python]

100hz are still smoother than 60 though

[torpid kayak]

hm okay

[paper tusk]

yeah it's one of those imagine taking this long to actually use the physics engine moments (the interactive grass effect in 7.0)

instead of people wanting booba

[umbral moss]

The nerfed tiddy physics if you played at high fps though

[torpid kayak]

they move so fast that they look like they stand still

[umbral moss]

I thought it was just some dumb leftover where they had an algorithm that integrated the velocity based on the previous frame

So the framerate being higher lowered the average velocity

Which is why the cloth physics go ballistic in wind environments, they just have a different weight for the averaging

[celest violet]

Tried dlss or fsr?

[paper tusk]

hmm https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/224154/en-us/

also new studio driver

[torpid kayak]

can you enable it on FF14? Don't see an option 🤔

I used AMD btw

[lost python]

FSR then, but its only available in the benchmark yet. will be available in the game once dawntrail releases

[torpid kayak]

I see

[deep sapphire]

👁️ 👃 👁️

[sly elk]

lol I can't imagine this being quality

showed up in my vine list

that would be fun to try if I had the equipment to give it a proper load test lol

[kindred brook]

is 4080 Super a better value

than 4090

between the 2

[deep sapphire]

yes

the 4090 are still selling for 2000 dollars retail

and are being scalped

[kindred brook]

alright thanks

going to make one final attempt to repair my 3080 ti if its repaired I'll just return this 4080 Super in my cart

[deep sapphire]

if you arent looking to game at 4K 120+ FPS a 4090 is a waste of money

[umbral moss]

Or if you need the extra memory space for genuine ml garbo

Like there's a prosumer argument to the 4090 but is whatever you're doing $2000+ in value?

[dire viper]

Yuh

4090 is pointless unless what Hank said

[umbral moss]

To be fair I did have an interest in doing a reinforcement learning algorithm for something but not a traditional waste of GPU silicon like a defective chat bot

[inland mauve]

it is a waste of money, but also it kicks ass

[odd sand]

Have you tried contacting that one guy that specializes in repairing GPUs? Was that you or someone else that linked the video of them last week?

[kindred brook]

I haven't yet

[paper tusk]

[deep sapphire]

why did nvidia even make it so it connects from the top

hell the 30 series at least angled it

[kindred brook]

right now I'm running my brotherts old 970

[odd talon]

So my amd ryzen 7 1800X is definitely on its last legs

[deep sapphire]

well you certainly got value out of it

[odd talon]

Yeah

2017 release and it's had a pretty good run

Some newer games can't run as well

[torpid kayak]

I read that I should enable Freesync/G-sync + Enhanced Sync (AMD) + V-sync + limit FPS to 3-4 frame below my screen refresh rate (like 141 FPS for 144-hz screen)
That's a lot of sync 🤔

[kind rune]

i usually do more like 5-6 under just to make sure it stays in range

[odd talon]

Time to figure out if I wanna do Intel or amd again

[torpid kayak]

Apple :3

[deep sapphire]

I'd go AMD the 7800X3D is the clear winner for gaming performance specially for the price and there is a conspiracy going around with high end intel raptor lake/arrow lake CPUs with mobo power limits and causing game crashing

[odd talon]

Ye, a colleague at work recommended that to me

And the ASRock X670E motherboard

[sly elk]

oh right i need to run the benchmark!

very high baby, very high

Boo the benchmark only does 16:9

[torpid kayak]

weird. I wonder why benchmark of maximum setting vs laptop (standard) setting, which I ran for fun, has similar scores 🤔

[sly elk]

idk maybe your framerate is capped?

wasn't this a way to blow up a gpu once lol

[deep sapphire]

was your resolution different

this benchmark doesnt take into account resolution or adaptive resolution

[torpid kayak]

both 1440p as far as I remember

[odd talon]

Man, I need to go case hunting

Also get ddr5 ram

[sharp star]

Go with an O11-style case if you wanna be a basic bitch

[odd sand]

premium-basic bc those are $200 cases heh

[sharp star]

Lancool 216 if you don’t wanna overspend imo

[odd sand]

That doesn't look like an O11 case then, that's just a normal case heh

[sharp star]

You get a lot with that case

Yeah I like that design as well, and I think the North isn't bad either, but I know that one is rather polarizing.

https://www.amazon.com/MUSETEX-Pre-Installed-Support-Tempered-Computer/dp/B0C9H8XY75/
This is an interesting variation on the O11. Seems a bit more compact.

i think overspending is only relative to budget :3

[sharp star]

true!

[sly elk]

but i also haven't seen anything crazy in a long time

https://old.reddit.com/r/PcBuild/comments/1c5j8wh/why_does_my_pc_case_have_shelves/

hahahahaha

like lian li used to make weird stuff every year

[sharp star]

I think I remember that

[paper tusk]

reminds me to bench me desktop

[wraith agate]

I thought you meant like bench press it and I was like "weird flex but okay"

[paper tusk]

I'm down to that too

muscle is muscle

[wraith agate]

Lol

[paper tusk]

but my tool box is a lot more forgiving in case I drop it

[paper tusk]

and benchmark is fucked on my desktop (it refuses to run in 4k)

fucking clown fiesta settings also (can't disable dlss like on my laptop to compare)

think i got it (full screen instead of borderless windowed

can't imagine why this sucks when the bench res is higher than the (display) settings

[real edge]

uhh

7k for such a high resolution on the 3060ti seems good

the 3060ti is not a 4k card

am I misunderstanding something

[paper tusk]

I'm mostly angry 24/7

dlss preset e got it to 9157

tht's fine

(I'm hangry)

[torpid kayak]

hm found out why there were score gaps between benchmark. Turn out I forgot to turn of Riva Tuner's FPS limiter 🤔

[wraith agate]

okay so no idea what happened at home but apparently my PC refused to acknowledge any of my storages for a second

[modest moss]

it was just a bit tired ok

[snow cypress]

My friend is trying to build a pc and wants to know if this is good

[real edge]

[real edge]

those prices look sus

as hell

[deep sapphire]

Yeah rofl

[real edge]

ignorant PC stores piss me off for misleading customers into thinking liquid cooling is anywhere near needed

I am just a jobless nerd but those morons do it as a job and mislead people into buying expensive needless shit

[signal fable]

I don't mind using liquid cooling, but I should have gone for an air cooler, i could have had an easier building experience

[odd sand]

Define long time? There are still a number of really out there case designs over the last few years. A bunch of the angled ones where the mainboard and such are all held at a 30 degree angle from the floor, etc. Or the open ones that simply have some aluminum standoffs to hold up an accent piece of glass etc.

[real edge]

[golden stream]

and also cleaning/maintenance work as well

[odd sand]

It's not needed, but at the same time an AIO is a lot cleaner look and there is some overlap in pricing.
Hard to beat the Hyper212 for like an x100F or x400F series Intel CPU tho, etc.

[signal fable]

Yes, especially changing paste on the CPU

[real edge]

air cooling is very set and forget

[golden stream]

personally I don't like dealing w watercooling maint headache, unless SFF niche, aircooling is just so easy to maint and clean

but man HYTE cases are p gyattdayum, may think about getting a vchuba collab collection of em

[odd sand]

How so? One of the most annoying parts of modern PC building is properly seating and torquing the aircooler. By comparison, the AIO screws down easily, and then you simply screw down the rad. Some AIOs the fans are even designed to clip onto the rad instead of use screws.

[signal fable]

Well I won't think about it for now, I just made my new pc, so for the next 6 years I won't really have any type of problem

[golden stream]

see

and also the risk of leak and whatnot, mannnnnn

[odd sand]

What watercooling maintenance? Unless you have non-AIO watercooling there is none.

[golden stream]

if you lunging your system around (which is a case for SFF and prolly moving out or sort), that

nd also I have bi-annual CPU repaste in all systems

[odd sand]

Yeah I do quite like the Y60 with the accent corner. Although this one I found yesterday is really cool. Comes in black or white case. I'm just a little sus on the brand name, but the comments claim the build quality is excellent. Also I'm not in the market for a new case for the forseeable future.
https://www.amazon.com/Mid-Tower-Hyperboloid-Separated-Structure-Motherboard/dp/B0CNKB4BGH/

[golden stream]

I don't mind a bit more expensib, me simp

[odd sand]

I have a 13900K so there isn't a pressing need to upgrade anytime soon, but I might still get a 15th gen or w/e AMD has that year if they look compelling enough. Curious if there will be any bugs or stability issues with Intel moving away from monolithic dies.

[signal fable]

I never tried using an air cooler but, depending on the model it should be easier to install since they're smaller right?

[odd sand]

Pretty sure all you have to do then is pour a bit more into the top of the cap there.

[golden stream]

you can either flip the clip or screw the screws into the plate

the later one is a bit annoying but the clip flip is ez to install

[odd sand]

With an air cooler, they tend to have spring-loaded screws that need to be torqued in a specific order, but not too hard that you crack anything on the board. And the larger air coolers are very large and heavy, and you need to thread the screwdriver thru the fins to reach the screws a lot of the time. Unless something has changed recently.
Whereas AIOs it's like a stethoscope you place on top of the CPU and has speedscrews that are easy to hand tighten and then finish with a few turns of the screwdriver.

Is there a need to drain and replace the fluid? I would think simply topping off the fluid would be good enough unless the only thing that evaps is the water and it leaves behind more concentrated coloring residue over time?

I just meant that whatever colors it is dissolved in the liquid, so if you keep evaporating and topping it off, over time there may be enough of a concentration of it to gum up the pump or something, I dunno.

[honest panther]

Does anyone have experience with mediapipe

the Google dev tool

[umbral moss]

This is why colored coolant is a bitcb

It looks great but the dyes end up in the loop as precipitates so you need to actually flush and clean the loop every so often

[sly walrus]

bitcb

[sly elk]

the cougar cases? But the rest are just a box with funky looking plastic exteriors usually

no i'm talking about the $500-2000 oddballs that inwin and others used to make for CES

lian li used to make em too

[umbral moss]

The Lian li train case

[sly elk]

my inwin is one of the more tame oddballs lol

[kind rune]

why does it keep saying every download is unverified or something after i reinstalled windows

how is this unverified

[kindred brook]

OK got a 4080 super at msrp the pads came in and it still doesn't boot anymore

Could be another issue

Going to send it someone for repair

And see if I can reimbust some costs

I had some best buy gift cards tho so I paid about 500 out of pocket for the 4080" super

Which is about the same price as another used 3080 ti

[wraith agate]

I think

maybe 790

[wide hill]

I GOT INFECTED BY ADS!!

"easier" depends on the heatsink not being a right bitch to install and not having to remove chip heatsinks on the motherboard to mount it in the first place

https://old.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1c60hko/ive_downgraded/

After struggling with my evga 3090ftw3 for the past 2 driver packages, I’ve gone to team red. Just swapped in my new sapphire 7900xt in my “all other stuff except simulators”pc.

it never pays to be a brand 'loyalist' lol

[neon shell]

Did anyone else have this weird issue with the benchmark were even with LOD being turned off, the characters in the background were still not clear?

[burnt swallow]

Tried to help some guy who has Windows 11 add a printer to his computer and literally nothing I tried worked but I could connect to it through his web browser by typing in its ip address

[thorn dirge]

dunno if anyone has one, but how does the 7700 XT handle the DT benchmark at 1440p? im upgrading my old 1080p monitor soon

[burnt swallow]

I have the previous gen 6800 XT and hit 17.9k on the DT benchmark at 1440p so a 7700 XT with comparable CPU should definitely smoke the 20k mark

[thorn dirge]

👍

yeah i have a 7900x haha

[celest violet]

At max?
My 7900gre hits 19500 at 1440 max, so I don't think a 7700xt could

Unless I'm just held back by my 5900x

[burnt swallow]

If it's max then maybe? I did High Desktop settings

[thorn dirge]

yeah i'd wanna play at max, main thing im concerned about is staying above 60 for min fps, ik the average will be higher

[celest violet]

You'll be fine for 60 easily

Not sure what the overall score would be

[torpid kayak]

the blue line in benchmark is the previous or current one? 🤔

also for some reasons, I cannot use any FPS overlay

AMD shows N/A, Riva Tuner and MSI Afterburner overlay doesn't show up,

the only FPS counter I can use is Fraps, lol

[torpid kayak]

is it normal for FF14 benchmark score to flunctate?
I get like 15-17k on Maximum and default AMD GPU setting
and 13,500-15,000 on Maximum and AMD undervolt setting 🤔

[deep sapphire]

well that would logically make sense if it scored lower on an undervolt lol

[torpid kayak]

yeah I know, just wonder if the score is supposed to be stable or different each time 🤔

[deep sapphire]

the benchmark isnt very good, hell the score doesnt even account for resolution rofl

[torpid kayak]

XD

[sly elk]

huh what res

i got 13,000 at 4k lol with my 7800x3d and 3080ti

[deep sapphire]

you just choose either or

FSR or DLSS

I updated my drivers supposedly that gives a decent bump

[deep sapphire]

the score doesnt account for resolution

if you run it at a lower resolution you will get a much higher score

its pretty stupid

[deep sapphire]

it says 3440x1440

oh

uuuuh I didnt save any of the results I think I posted them in here

why didnt I save them fuck

wait im gonna run it again

I'll do 1440P

[sly elk]

lol

why a kia

[deep sapphire]

4K was like 19K I think

[sharp star]

I get like 29k-30k

[deep sapphire]

im sure if I had a 7800X3D that would help a lot

[sharp star]

Probably, I did tweak the benchmark though

[deep sapphire]

oh

run it on all max

[sharp star]

I did change DLSS profiles + enable DLAA + swapped the DLSS .dll

[deep sapphire]

does it support 3.7

[sharp star]

Yep

[paper tusk]

yes both updated supersampling and full fat dlss

[deep sapphire]

alright lets try with 3.7

im assuming you had it set to always on

otherwise what would be the point

[sharp star]

use either DLSSTweaks or Nvidia Inspector

[real edge]

my 5800x3d and 4080super had the exact same score

scaling is fucked lol

[sharp star]

I don’t know what metric SE uses but it’s fucked

[deep sapphire]

the 4080S and 4090 probably perform similarish at 1440P anyway

from benchmarks I've seen they are all fairly CPU limited

the benchmark isnt great though

[sharp star]

it’s really not

I managed to eke out better scores with DLAA and preset swapping

[deep sapphire]

intel has that game optimizer and it supports ffxiv I could see if that does anything but I need to flash my bios to use it

and im just far too lazy for that

I cant find any DLSS options under nvidia profile inspector

also wow I havent used this app since I had my GTX 580s lol

[sharp star]

Try DLSSTweaks

[deep sapphire]

what profile did you do

sorry, preset

[sharp star]

For presets I don’t remember exactly, I think it was either preset C or E

I need to check when I get back from lunch

[deep sapphire]

I'll try E

[sharp star]

Since SE doesn’t have profile selection I just set sharpening to 85% or 100% (effectively native) on all “presets”

DLAA forced on too

[deep sapphire]

alright, I got that on and preset set to E

lets see what I get

[real edge]

DLDSR 2.25x + DLSS always on also gives you DLAA with little to no of the upscaling downsides

I did notice foliage being kinda screwy

with blur but

rarely

[deep sapphire]

it barely went up

[real edge]

did you set DLSS to always on?

try fullscreen as well instead of windowed

[deep sapphire]

yeah I set it to always on

I'll try full screen

[real edge]

ok somethings strange then

remember the 27k score I had? that was without DLSS

[deep sapphire]

yeah it went up a whole 200 points with it on rofl

granted

you cant have DLSS technically on with DLAA

so that makes sense

[real edge]

only way to have DLAA without feeling the upscaling of DLSS is through DLDSR

I think fullscreen will do it (bring you to a more proper score)

[deep sapphire]

alright I'll try it

lmao nope

[real edge]

im so lost

[deep sapphire]

im pretty sure its because DLSS Tweak converts DLSS to DLAA

you dont get the benefit of the upscaling, its running at native res with DLAA

[real edge]

is your cpu boosting to whatever all-core frequency it can during the benchmark?

[deep sapphire]

lmao its only using like 10 percent CPU

its at 5.2 GHz though

[real edge]

ill try with dlss always on as well at 1440p just to see

with DLDSR the score I got was like 25k

god DLSS makes everything look so bad

this is with DLSS always on

[deep sapphire]

are you using DLSS Tweak

[real edge]

nope

but with DLDSR I got like 25k

[deep sapphire]

like nvidia control panel upscaling?

[real edge]

yeah

so

DLDSR 2.25x which is

4k resolution

but

with DLSS always on

[deep sapphire]

oh

I bet I would get similar results then, im forcing DLAA on

its not actually using DLSS

[real edge]

avg framerate of this was locked to my monitors refresh rate

but the upscaling was so bad

I wouldn't ever use it lol

I prefer native or DLDSR + DLSS

dumb question, you have XMP or whatever enabled on your RAM, right?

[deep sapphire]

yes

also

this is kinda random but I was gonna update my bios so I can use that intel optimizer shit

so I grab this old usb drive out of my closet cause I cant find one

its got abunch of shit on it, abunch of military records or something of some guy I have no idea who he is

all dated 2012

how the hell did I get this usb drive

[wraith agate]

Does it contain any specifications for military vehicles? I know a forum that would love it

[real edge]

[deep sapphire]

lmao

[paper tusk]

[deep sapphire]

it has his separation form (DD-214) in here and I dont recognize the name at all

[wraith agate]

If you got an ID number you could find him prolly

[real edge]

or

if he is US

just google the name

lol

[deep sapphire]

Being it’s been 12 years I doubt he even knows or cares I’ll just pretend I never saw anything

scaling is fucked then

[torpid kayak]

eh how do you use FSR in the benchmark? Does it work regardless of my resolution selection? Or only when the benchmark's resolution (say, 1080p) is lower than my native resolution (1440p)?

[real edge]

I just feel bad for the folk that will always have that shit on by default with no option to turn it off and suddenly in limsa their fps drops below 60 or 30 and everything begins to look horrid

[hard drift]

I’m gonna feel bad for the console players It’s just gonna turn on by default 🙏 but then again that’s what happens when they want to continue supporting PS4 for one more expac

[hard drift]

[umbral moss]

Holy shit, the electrician who did that wiring should be punched in the dick

What a fucking trap to leave someone, "oh yeah, maybe some of these outlets are wired hot to ground instead of hot to neutral, guess you'll find out"

[lost python]

crazy that 3 years passed and nothing ever happened until that day

[umbral moss]

Yeah, probably only ever used something with low power consumption or where it doesn't matter that ground is live

Like a lamp wouldn't care if ground is hot, it's all the same as long as 120v are going to the socket

Me personally, I enjoyed the two days where my mom's house was wired where the trunk ground was a little rg6 coax cable because the real ground snapped at the service pole

Very fun experience of everything in the house going dim if the pc or microwave were on

[real edge]

that chart looks off

well

the scores are iffy

I assume its maximum settings

[sharp star]

I’m looking into the post linked in the tweet

I can’t read it all but so far it’s done native vs DLSS vs FSR

also head to head comparisons on a 14900K system

[real edge]

Score: 27019
Average Frame Rate: 188.4732
Minimum Frame Rate: 98
Screen Size: 2560x1440

System

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
32668.875MB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

Was my personal result.

But a 4090 and 14900K getting 180avg fps and 94 minimum at 1440p

huh?

ohh

DLSS upscaling is from 50%

no wonder it sucked when I used it without DLDSR

[sharp star]

mhm

[real edge]

what RAM did they use

cause the 1080p and 1440p result seems sketch

like the CPU was bottlenecked hard

[sharp star]

5600Mhz

I don’t think they listed the capacity

[real edge]

yeah

somethings up there

with their tests

hank gets more on a 13700k

I get more with a worse gpu and cpu

[sharp star]

weird

I would love to share notes with these guys and see what’s different

[wraith agate]

I got 25k with a 13700k and a 4090

And I use like UHD

Or WQHD

Whatever it's called

[sharp star]

weird because I’m getting 30k with a 4090/7950X3D at 1440p

EXPO turned on obviously

[real edge]

that is not that surprising

[wraith agate]

Oddities

[real edge]

I will chalk it up to the benchmark being dumb

or intel cpus are fucked in the new benchmark/graphics update or sth

[sharp star]

yeah I wanna say the benchmark is dumb but I’m not gonna discount that it somehow favors X3D CPUs

[sharp star]

ah yeah ICYMI Raptor Lake K SKUs are fucked atm

maybe?

[real edge]

their score remaining the same between 1080p and 1440p

tells me their cpus fucked somehow

[wraith agate]

Well I noticed the DLSS was set to the AMD equivalent by default

[real edge]

I wouldn't recommend using any upscaling anyway

its hard set to 50%

looks horrible

unless you use DLDSR

[wraith agate]

I don't really use it because with 4090 I shouldn't need it

[sharp star]

Or DLSSTweaks

[real edge]

this benchmark seems to heavily favor X3D CPUs

my average fps was capped by my monitors refresh rate

on that

[sharp star]

I uncapped it for the benchmark

I'm gonna run it again

[real edge]

is this what you check to disable frame cap?

[sharp star]

nope. under Nvidia Control Panel there should be a Max Frame Rate dropdown bar in 3D settings

[real edge]

ohh my max framerate is already off

[sharp star]

I’m getting 216FPS max and 99FPS minimum with DLSS on

[torpid kayak]

welp. I have 7900 XT but 16,000 at best 😦

12600k CPU btw XD

[lost python]

at 4k or what resolution

[sharp star]

1440p

oh mb

[lost python]

ah

yeah i meant momo

[torpid kayak]

1440p

[lost python]

i have an older 6900xt + 5800x and i get 19k at max + 1440p

[paper tusk]

yeah when i did 4k testing it was at near max (some things like glare and reflections reduced to mirror my current annoyance free experience)

[torpid kayak]

I wonder why. I remember turning off all undervolt and FPS limiter :shy:

[thorn dirge]

the 7900x is comparable to the cpu they ran with right wonder why my min fps is so much lower

AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT(VRAM 12076 MB)```

[real edge]

the 7900x is worse than the intel ones I think

for gaming and productivity

[thorn dirge]

i see

im still a little worried about 1440p dropping below 60 min but i guess ill see when the monitor arrives

[real edge]

the 7900x is in a weird spot

where 2x6 CCDs increase latency in the infinity fabric

its the CPU that cannot decide if its a gaming cpu or productivity cpu

so it ends up doing worse than its specialized counterparts

also

I do not think you're dropping below 60

unless its in limsa with a thousand models or sth

[thorn dirge]

i got mine heavily discounted, so i didnt really look at stuff like the 7800x3d or others
my old pc died so i had to rebuild fast lol

old pc had a 1600x in it lmao i would have been toast

also yeah

[sharp star]

Now I’m getting 200FPS max, 102 FPS minimum with DLAA on

Yeah I’m getting anywhere in the high 28-29k range

[deep sapphire]

this makes sense

[sharp star]

it does, yeah

it's probably better to not wrack my head trying to find out Square Enix's mystery scoring metric

[deep sapphire]

plus I think the XX900K has a marginal performance over the XX700K skus and I believe you have a 7800X3D which is better than both

[sharp star]

7950X3D but yeah

I can turn off half the cores or do Process Lasso stuff to sim a 7800X3D

[deep sapphire]

gotcha

[deep sapphire]

oh I had this on at 255 FPS weird

there were some scenes I saw it stuck at 255

Lmao ffs I’m seeing 350 FPS to 400 sometimes

[umbral moss]

I feel like if the way to get more performance out of your halo product is to turn it into a lower sku, it's not a halo product

[deep sapphire]

oh it just crashed

this has been the case for years

its just more in your face

most people don't even know local accounts exist anymore

because you have to go through some hoops to do it on install lol

[deep sapphire]

here's a blast from the past

notice the packs of cigarettes and beer

🤣

my buddy was over

[deep sapphire]

yeah I hate that, all these card makers give you a 3 year warranty fuckin scam

I got a microcenter one they said I can exchange my 4090 for any reason so I plan to do that when the 5090 comes out lol

LMAO when I thought taking apart my 32X would make it work in the nomad

im sure they will fuss about it but that was their word not mine

[odd sand]

FFS my coworker is driving me insane

FIVE HOURS later and he still hasn't deployed my code changes to the app I'm working on.

Questions. More questions. Even more questions. 20x confirmation.

JUST. FUCKING. DEPLOY. THE. CODE.

I did the commit last night before COB and said I need you to commit these 3 files named XYZ and batch that commit with my commit from just now and make that a PR and deploy it.

Very simple instructions.

He's asking me questions relating to clustering and replication and if he should delete the existing app folder and it's like ... you're the one who setup the clustering env I only half understand how it works, why are you asking me?!

[hard drift]

that's BS they likely won't honor it

i did the same shit and my card was actually having problems and they said they tested it and saw the same issues 😐

and still rejected the bitch

[deep sapphire]

I'll just try to get the power connector to short out

oh yeah I remember that

with your radeon card

lmao they didnt even have a phone number to call

[hard drift]

leave it so it's like a 2mm gap

[hard drift]

yeah fucking bullshit

i got my card from bestbuy this time around because fuck microcenter 🔫

[deep sapphire]

looks like Samsung isnt doing very good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2eOELDbHDU

the 5700XT was one of the worst cards they ever made lmao so many bugs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w49byd81I_Y I still dont understand why nvidia didnt just put this on the back end of the card

its ridiculous they gaslight users into thinking its their fault when its clearly a design issue

nvidia like "gee whats this?"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects_analysis

[umbral moss]

Because that would require them to reroute traces for the memory chips and the power circuitry is already there on the other pcbs

They just reuse the layout and the vhpwr adapter was added when they discovered the card needed 650w instead of 275w

[sly elk]

i was surprised about this when i saw the headline lol

[sly elk]

hot take that regular 6/8 pin molex connector was already garbage

[deep sapphire]

I agree completely though that being said I never had one fail or know of anyone that did

they just had shitty feedback

[sly elk]

it was developed in the days when the vast majority of desktop towers were mass produced and GPUs were like $200

[deep sapphire]

plenty of times you never got that "click" feeling

even on my 12HPWR connector I got zero feedback when I plugged both sides in

which is just ridiculous

[sly elk]

but now that we've got giant GPUs that cost $2000, adding $10 onto the BOM for a better connector seems like a great idea

yea and even if you do seat it correctly, a lot of cases don't quite provide enough room to route the cables without stressing the connection

hell that was true even with the old ones lol

[deep sapphire]

yeah but most cards arent as big as the 4090, its not even that the 4090 is long its also really tall

the o11 mini ironically is wider than most cases so making it have a wider radius bend isnt as difficult

[sly elk]

the tallness is the real problem

[deep sapphire]

right

its just a bad design

[sly elk]

lol maybe they should just make something that slots in like a g5 cpu module did

[deep sapphire]

anyone knows that anything can fail unpredictably and there are meetings and checks in place to prevent most obvious failure modes and it seems like nvidia didnt do much about that

[sly elk]

admittedly, if you thought landing an LGA GPU down correctly was spooky

try landing one of these hahaha

at least it has those 2 pegs though

[deep sapphire]

I honestly never understood design principle like this like why make something difficult to assemble

thats how you get shitty cars lmao

[sly elk]

fair, but it did have locating pegs

you can see them on either side of the connector. but that connector is scary looking

connector aside, I do think they should start packaging GPUs like that

seems more practical than the whack way they attach heatsinks atm

[wide hill]

Why do i pay for youtube premium and my home feed is infected by shorts

Had to scroll ages to find the actual videos

[odd sand]

Bc they make more revenue from shorts probably. It's not about you, it's about them /s

hm... best can I get :/

[dusky magnet]

wanna know whats weird about this

it was only 1 benchmark run but i got the same score on a worse gpu and cpu (couldnt replicate it afterwards )

😄

I have a few times of bench where unvervolt is samey with default setting :d

[real edge]

the japanese publication or whatever it is replied

they said they capped their FPS to 240

some scenes the fps jumped to 300-600 with good GPUs

which is where the score spikes with worse systems come from

I did not expect a reply tbh lol

esp because I replied in english

[lethal dune]

Excuse me, I require some assistance when it comes to PC building

This is a PC build, that I'm working on

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4vzvt7

But uhhhh

I have a question; do I need a Network Adaptor and sound card???

[sharp star]

nope

for the cooler I think you can go with a DeepCool AK620 or a Thermalright Phantom Spirit

[lethal dune]

But I was told to get Noctua, cause I want it to last for 10 years

[sharp star]

Noctua is still good but they have extremely strong competition from those two

[hushed ermine]

to install a ryzen 9 7900x3d cpu i need a AM5 motherboard right

[sharp star]

yes

would also not recommend a 7900X3D

[hushed ermine]

is it bad

[sharp star]

compared to the 78/7950X3D chips, yeah

the 3D V-Cache is on one CCD with half of its cores so you'd effectively just get a "7600X3D"

[lethal dune]

I have an AMD 5

Is it better or should I get something better

[sharp star]

AM5's solid

[lethal dune]

I don't feel like buying a 9 is good

[sharp star]

oh the CPU

the most I would go with is a 7800X3D

[hushed ermine]

well im lookin for either a 7900x or 7900x3d but ive found a bundle that is cheaper that includes both the motherboard n 7900x, while i can only buy the x3d seperately

[sharp star]

buy the 7800X3D instead

[hushed ermine]

i have a ryzen 9 3900x rn

[hushed ermine]

u think so?

[sharp star]

I know so

[lethal dune]

??????

What's the difference?????

🤯

I can see the difference with EVO

[hushed ermine]

7800 has 8 core n 7900 has 12 does that really matter

[sharp star]

yes it does because there's latency between the two core complex dies that contain the cores

whereas the 7800X3D has only one and therefore no latency issues

[sharp star]

not a lot honestly, Thermalright is guilty of oversaturating the air cooler market so I would personally go with the SE

[hushed ermine]

the way they number them confuses me, as someone who isnt familiar w this i just thought ryzen 9 is better but the 4 numbers (3900x/7800x) after that is confusing

[lost python]

the 7900x is just a bad cpu and should be avoided if possible tbh. the other options below and above it are better value.

[lethal dune]

[sharp star]

Yeah

[sharp star]

it's the top dog but not like

[lethal dune]

I don't know which one mate

[sharp star]

ridiculous

the 7800X3D is a steal at that price/performance ratio

[lost python]

its complicated yeah. higher number ryzens like the ryzen 9s usually have more cores etc, but core count isnt the only thing that counts, especially when there are other factors like what djura mentioned.
for games you definitely want to go with a "x3D" cpu though, because their cache allows them to be a lot faster in games than other CPUs

[hushed ermine]

will it work well with my 3080

[sharp star]

yes

[hushed ermine]

ok ima buy it rn

[lost python]

are those canadian or australian dollars?

[sharp star]

I checked the PCPartpicker link

they're Australian

[lost python]

ah okay that explains it

[lethal dune]

Is this okay?

[hushed ermine]

also what power supply should i have

i got 800w rn

[lost python]

800 should be fine, but it highly depends on the exact model because there are 800w timebombs and actually good 800w PSUs

[real edge]

try and go with a 4070Super instead

[sharp star]

4070 Super is currently the sweet spot but I won't complain about using a 4070

[real edge]

its much better for not much more in price

[lethal dune]

Is the one I had not good enough or am I being scam?

[hushed ermine]

found a slightly bit cheaper one

[real edge]

its good enough, its just that the super is much better for a little bit more money

[lost python]

is this USD?

[hushed ermine]

ye

[lost python]

damn

[hushed ermine]

is there cheaper ones

[lost python]

if you buy them seperately you wont save much. maybe 30$ at best.
im just surprised how expensive that CPU has become again

[hushed ermine]

also just hope that the motherboard that comes w it is worth it

[lost python]

its okay

[lost python]

i personally dont like asus anymore but plenty of people have no problem with them

[sharp star]

same

I personally prefer Gigabyte for hardware nowadays

[real edge]

other than PSUs

[sharp star]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-explodes-gamers-nexus-power-supply-gif-23202345

[lethal dune]

Wait so why AMD 5 bad?

[lost python]

as long as they keep it up, i dont think i will ever take another brand other than bequiet for PSUs anymore.
every other, even corsair, always died with sparks, kicking out the breaker and a very lovely smell of burning plastics. all my bequiets only shut off and refused to turn on again

[lethal dune]

Was the AMD 5 I choose not good enough?

[sharp star]

oh no Ryzen 5 CPUs are good

[lethal dune]

Wait so my Ryzen 5 was already good enough????

Okay I will downgrade that

[lost python]

wait what do you mean now

[lethal dune]

I wasn't sure to pick between Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7

It might be harder to find a Ryzen 7 nearby for me

[lost python]

i think you mixed up the two conversations that were going on, because we advised moisty to go with the 7800x3d instead
BUT
if you can, go for the 7800x3d tbh and you will really be set for the future. but the 7600(x) isnt a terrible choice either if you really cant dump more money on it

[sharp star]

nah

also yeah it depends on your budget

if you're willing to spend more on a CPU, go with the 7800X3D

[lethal dune]

My budget is 2k USD

[sharp star]

if you can't, get a 7600(X)

[sharp star]

your budget can fit a 7800X3D, played around with the list you provided

[hushed ermine]

ima be real w u i dont know how to replace a motherboard so ima just take it to someone who knows

i alr bought everything n its coming tmrrw

[sharp star]

The only other thing other than the cooler and the CPU I would change is the RAM to 6000, tops imo

the 4070 is fine but it's up to you if you want to spend a little more on a 4070 Super

[thorn dirge]

yeah i got a 7900x because it was super discounted, if i knew about the performance compared to the 7800x3d i would have gone with that

[hushed ermine]

i have fps issue w my 3080 n im suspecting its my cpu's problem

either my cpu or my current motherboard

[sharp star]

CPU tiering is weird because when you throw AMD's setup on their Ryzen 9 CPUs it gets really muddy

especially when their 7800X3D (a Ryzen 7 CPU) is the undisputed king of gaming

[lost python]

which cpu do you have right now and in which games do you have these issues?

[hushed ermine]

this is my current motherboard lol

n i have a ryzen 9 3900x

[sharp star]

[lost python]

oh

well

i was about to say that the motherboard is almost never the issue but...

[lethal dune]

Wait

So I notice something

[thorn dirge]

i can't complain too much though, i mentioned it but my last cpu was a gen 1 ryzen lmao

the 7900x is insane compared to it

[lethal dune]

The shit is expensive because of the funny Australian shipping fees

[hushed ermine]

that thing is carryin my 3080 n my 32gb ram

[lethal dune]

I can go to the city and buy it

[sharp star]

if you can make the trip sure

[lethal dune]

Is nice being able to see the goods physically before buying it

[hushed ermine]

how big of a change do u think i will have if i change it to the AM5 motherboard w the 7800x

[sharp star]

Big, especially for the VRMs

[lost python]

[hushed ermine]

sorry what is VRMs

[lethal dune]

Oh btw

I think imma spend some money to get someone to build it for me cause my hand keeps shaking a lot as of late

[lost python]

chips on the board that regulate the power that goes to cpu, ram etc.
they get toasty, especially when they dont have any cooling like on your old board

and that limits performance

[lethal dune]

I don't trust myself with super fragile stuff

[thorn dirge]

i always have someone put the cpu in tbh

[lethal dune]

Man

I am so fucking tiny

That I need to bring a suitcase

If I want to shop

Or those strollers

[hushed ermine]

since ive beeen using that motherboard for years now while carrying my 3080, do u think that it might have deteriorated the gpu in any way

[sharp star]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/s4JB6D made like three changes @lethal dune

[lost python]

nah

[hushed ermine]

very well

[lethal dune]

Wait

What happen to the Corsair????

I was gonna buy Corsair cause its cheaper

[sharp star]

You can probably swap it back but I would recommend 6000 on AM5

[lost python]

AMD likes proper memory speeds

[sharp star]

X3D chips aren't as hamstrung by memory speeds compared to their non-X3D counterparts but AMD still likes them

[lethal dune]

No

I was like

I saw this

[lost python]

how much is it?

because 6000mhz and CL30 would be even better lol

[lethal dune]

Same price

[lost python]

[lethal dune]

BUT

I NOTICE THE PRICE DOESNT MATCH UP WITH THE STORE PRICE

THE STORE PRICE IS $30 CHEAPER

[sharp star]

[lethal dune]

Also student discount

[sharp star]

if you can get CL30 then get CL30

[lethal dune]

I went to their store actually

And got some brochure

Student discount for 20% off for all PC parts

[lost python]

damn thats pretty good then

might fit the 4070super then in there too

Technically I’m a student

What's the difference between CL30 and CL36

[deep sapphire]

latency and CL36 is crap

get CL30

I had nothing but problems on CL36

I couldnt even enable XMP

try to get Hynix brand memory too

its hard to tell what you get so you'll have to google some people have made lists of brands that use Hynix

Samsung is absolute trash avoid it at all costs

[lost python]

[sly elk]

hmm mine is c30-36-36-76 😄 Fucking 36s still in there. but it's hynix shit

[deep sapphire]

the first number is the important bit

I dont think Samsung even makes CL30

fuckin microcenter included that shitty CL36 kit with my PC

[kind rune]

i samsung e die and its the worst in history

[deep sapphire]

Samsung is a trash company that makes trash products

My 990 Pro SSD is already down to 95 percent write health yet somehow my 10 year old SSD is at 98 percent

And yes I have the updated firmware

[sly elk]

mm

i'm glad i switched to crucial

no more samsungsungsungsungusng

except for my monitor. hopefully that holds up!@

sadly they never let me buy their stupid samsungcare so when the 1 year warranty expires i've got 1 year of credit card warranty coverage and that's it

[deep sapphire]

disable multicore enhancement

can undervolt a tad if you want but ASUS multicore enhancement is what fucked me over

[hard drift]

intel

[deep sapphire]

I will be the first to admit

that its bullshit

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

and I will probably not be going back to intel if they are gonna be pulling this shit

GRANTED it is sorta a mobo issue

but im sure they were more than fine with them doing it

[hard drift]

intel needs to bring in the leash on the board makers

[deep sapphire]

yeah, I updated my bios and it asked me if I wanted to use ASUS or intel limits right away rofl so they know the bullshit they are playing

well yea ofc lol.
"those dumb engineers at Intel with all their millions in R&D money don't know what they're doing! But if you buy this $800 Maximus board! We had Chih-wei write special firmware for it and it can OC more!"

(don't they have like 1 firmware dude)

[deep sapphire]

no idea but they had a similar issue with AMD a year ago

[sly elk]

tbh the gaming hardware marketing reminds me of jeep mods

[deep sapphire]

both are largely guilty of this shit though

[sly elk]

and lots of other aftermarket car mods

[deep sapphire]

remember the days when you bought a processor and it was i guess you can say "underclocked"

when you could OC a processor sometimes 800+ MHz if you wanted

obvious Jimbo with his machine shop in Kansas knows how to make a better suspension than GM does

so buy his made-in-china $1200 suspension lift kit for your $85k silverado!

the one that is also sold on aliexpress for $295

to get that EV9?

or because your neighbors think you're a fan of elon musk?

ahh ok

congrats?

having more kids?

lol

i might have to buy a minivan grand cherokee L at some point

i woder where those are made anyway

ahh detroit

good

i like my murrican cars

the escalade IQ kinda reminds me of an odyssey

wtf

130k usd

yea that's too much for a damn car

and I HATE the interior

i hate it

at least the regular one tried to make some interesting shapes in the dash but meh even that wasn't too amazing

idk

do they not make a 7 seater lexus suv

not ev huh

the problem is taking anything and adding 'ev' makes it weigh 2000lbs more

the R1S is a 7 seater

they don't sell those in canada?

i see them all the time out here

and it does have a frrrrunk

and it looks happy

how about an EQB?

hahaha i get those cost a lot though

the EQS apparently also seats 7

oh oh

OH

if i needed an ev to seat 7

i'd want that

is it really a vw bus? no it's not.

but it's not bad

195" long, 128" wheelbase. wow

that will handle nicely i bet

ahhahah

[dire viper]

do not buy a Mercedes electric car

they are shit

EQS is miserable

EQB is equally miserable

they decided to test their next gen infotainment stuff on them and it was so rough it took a long time for the computers controlling the screen to not eat shit and die after being on for a few minutes

super laggy etc

the version in the new E class is perfectly fine but also the EQS/EQB is just like why lol

[sly elk]

i mean it's post-chrysler mercedes lol

they never been quite right have they?

Tom Warren (@tomwarren) on X

ASUS has started to issue new BIOS updates that “introduces the Intel Baseline Profile option, allowing users to revert to Intel factory default settings for basic functionality, lower power limits, and improving stability in certain games.”

I have a question

Do I need to buy cables for my newly built PC?

[sharp star]

which cables

[lethal dune]

Cables to plug the PC into the power point and connect the screen into the PC

[sharp star]

Monitors usually come with DisplayPort and HDMI cables

PSU cables are usually bundled

[lethal dune]

I might need
