[hot shadow]

ok

[copper monolith]

I'm living my life debt free

[sly elk]

it's pretty disappointing that the 9070xt will probably never go for the 599 price that they originally promised xD

[hot shadow]

it wouldn't be one but aight

[copper monolith]

Wtf

[sly elk]

also

i have to wonder how well a mac mini plays ffxiv lol

[hot shadow]

depends on specs

[sharp star]

and if you're using the third-party Mac launcher or not

[hot shadow]

people have played it before with a mini PC and a egpu

[sly elk]

i can't imagine NOT using xivonmac lol

[sharp star]

lmao

[hot shadow]

xiv on Mac is vomit

[sharp star]

apparently the Windows version under XIVonMac runs better

[hot shadow]

do not speak of such hell

[copper monolith]

How about 4060 ti

[sly elk]

was it not

idk what it was

[hot shadow]

better but still sucks

[sly elk]

I remember using one that just ran the windows version lol

which was kinda what I meant

windows version in wine/proton/whatever

and come to think of it, i'm not sure i ever tried the mac version. i think i just uused some funky launcher to run the windows version on linux and it worked great

but... that wasn't on a mac.......

idk don't get into debt to buy some stupid gaming computer gear

[hot shadow]

it's ok if the debt is paid by being my catboy maid

I mean what I didn't say anything

[copper monolith]

Rtx 4070 ti is like rm4.3k my money

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/pean-peanut-cat-catboy-felix-gif-24291527

[copper monolith]

Thats almost triple the price of rx 7600 and rtx 4060

[sly elk]

and a 7600 is fine. i think there were 6000 series cards that were better value though

[sharp star]

the 6600 (XT)?

[sly elk]

-pets his backup pc- that has a 6650xt lol

iirc the 7600 was close enough, just cost a little more

[copper monolith]

Planning on just getting this

I'm on a super crappy 1060 rn cus my 1065 super is broken. Bad gpu i know

[hot shadow]

back to the original question tho the 4060 is better and has more resale value than the AMD one

[copper monolith]

Ooohhh

Ok I will get the 4060 then

Thank u

[hot shadow]

if you do modding in games n use blender it will also run more stably

[copper monolith]

Yea I'm not a modder. I just need a good enough gpu to run silent hill f soon

[sly elk]

yea don't worry about what high end stuff does or doesn't do, the important thing is to get what works best for your budget and needs ^^

[copper monolith]

Tru tru

What about rx 7600 xt vs rtx 4060

Im watching YouTube videos and reading the comments

https://youtu.be/zV6RJZ9LMuI?si=cqbulBDr-c75GK7K

[sly elk]

lol i can't believe they stuck 16gb vram in it

[hot shadow]

it doesn't seem to help much despite that

if you're playing with any ray tracing the 4060 is still better

[sly elk]

frfr, might help if you're driving a 4k monitor lol

[hot shadow]

or dlss

or both

[sly elk]

YES AND ITS NVIDIA SO PEOPLE WONT LOOK AT YOU LIKE A CHUD

[hot shadow]

nobody does that when you're SEA

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/ha-ha-point-homer-simpson-simpsons-nelson-muntz-gif-16163203

[hot shadow]

they're cheap there so

[sly elk]

people be like

[hot shadow]

cheap for powerful is good enough

[sly elk]

OH YOU HAVE A 9070XT HOW ARE THE CRAPPY DRIVERS

[hot shadow]

tbh only Americans do that

[sly elk]

and then the next day they're talking about black screen issues with their 4080

[hot shadow]

even Chinese gamers aren't that mean

[sly elk]

and rolling back 536.whatever

[hot shadow]

lol

[sly walrus]

it’s okay, kyanche

hank’s been banned for like six months

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/cpu-smoke-amd-toms-hardware-overheat-gif-21739686

[hot shadow]

Chinese gamers be like oh you didn't have to sell your kidney? respect

[sly elk]

nope

i just woke up in the hotel bathtub

with a lot of ice

[hot shadow]

[copper monolith]

Ok stick to 4060 i guess

[sly elk]

the human equivalent to finding your car on blocks

[paper tusk]

reminds me, may drivers should show up soon for amd gpu peeps

[hot shadow]

UNLESS the other one is waaaaaay cheaper

[sly elk]

tbh

[paper tusk]

nevermind they are up now

[sly elk]

the driver problem seems so bad in nvidia land atm I wouldn't blame someone going amd just to avoid it lmao

but idk i use my pc as a toy

[paper tusk]

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-5-1.html

[sly elk]

i have a computer I can count on :3

[hot shadow]

idk all my life I've ... never really had much of a driver issue with either...? I've managed to avoid it

[sly elk]

word!

but the times i have experienced driver weirdness it was nvidia lol

[hot shadow]

so I actually have no idea what the heck everyone else is saying

[sly elk]

'cept back in the ole days i used to oc the radeon cards i had in my macs lmao

was like

just OC it until I see artifacts and then back off some

[hot shadow]

does it crash your game or what

[sly elk]

depends on the issue

the black screen issue afaik you can't even use windows

[hot shadow]

I get the other issues like if it runs too hot or one fan busts or it just Bbzzzttt dies

[sly elk]

you have to go into safe mode and uninstall the driver

but the more common nvidia issues I remembered in the past either involved the driver just crashing out and leaving windows in software rendering mode where the transparency is turned off and stuff

or the games suddenly crashing with a similar error

usually at the most annoying time, like in the middle of a competitive overwatch match

https://tenor.com/view/oshi-no-ko-akane-kurokawa-crying-cry-sobbing-gif-13302296404507934974

[hot shadow]

if a game crashes it sorta just feels like the games fault mainly esp if other games released same year aren't crashing hahahaha

I update drivers a lot anyway

updated bios also finally

[sly elk]

LMAO i started up a docker container and it got called

i still think it looks too claustrophobic, and I wonder if the stereotypical corvette owner can even fit in these anyway

not as claustrophobic as the volt

dude why does it suck so much inside I thought I was a giant in a hobbit house

[wide hill]

i can't live like this

gotta be a way to upgrade the disk

nvm its literally is stuck on the motherboard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apEKAY11NQs

i wonder if it would cost alot for someone to do

[sly elk]

way more than it's worth probably

thankfully the m4 minis went back to using a little card

but annoyingly, not a regular m.2 card

[jovial slate]

Average apple experience

[sharp star]

Nvidia-sponsored game btw

[hazy frost]

lmao

maybe nvidia drivers (again)

[sharp star]

Also Vulkan has historically run better on AMD

[hazy frost]

true but not by that much usually

when its on average noticeably slower atl

[dire viper]

Do you have the link to this

And is this forced upscaling

Or is this no up scaling

[sharp star]

one sec

it's from a Hardware Unboxed video

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlzatw1E2vQ

love seeing the 5070 hit 4090 performance at $549 /s

[tepid gulch]

$549 where

[lost python]

crazy seeing the 9070xt and 7900xtx at the same perfromance

[sly elk]

that's interesting

considering a lot of people consider the 5070 and the 9070xt equivalent lol

i love the vagueness in that

like the amd fanboys mark it like a 5080 and the nvidia fanboys mark it like a 5070

[hazy frost]

Honestly hilarious people try to say that anyway

Slower in all gaming metrics, less vram not even the same price

[sly elk]

TIL if you shake the mouse in KDE the cursor just keeps getting bigger and bigger

[hazy frost]

Incredibly useful feature

[sly elk]

i love how I can casually swap between linux distros without nuking my /home partition/folders lol

[wide hill]

managing partitions is a pain though

if you want to edit anything you can only expend (or shrink) where your partition is at.

[sly elk]

i did initially set this up a few months ago with a / that was way too big, so I shrank it to a reasonable size and then expanded the /home partition. which was a little goofy because I used encryption on it, but it worked out fine

[wide hill]

https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/05/08/high-tariffs-become-real-with-our-first-36k-bill/

i wonder what got more expensive

[sly elk]

https://www.jalopnik.com/1855915/alfa-romeo-tonale-italian-police-car-lawsuit-threat/

it even kinda looks like a toenail dangit

[latent topaz]

has anyone heard of this very niche problem
im 5700x3d/9070 xt, but when phone is charging(through the case USB port, not motherboard), ff drops to 10 fps every few secs
doesn't happen on other games
happened to 2 PCs with the same literal specs (with different amd driver versions even)
weird
I wonder if its amd specific problem, a windows problem, or actual ff bug

i feel like its less of a windows problem since it doesn't happen in other games lol

ok, asked my friend, happens on ryzen 9 3900x / rtx 3060 too

probably an ff bug

[sly elk]

the case usb port still connects to the motherboard, of course. There might be noise or maybe it's the power draw, or maybe the controller that is driving the front ports. idk. could be a usb speed issue like

maybe your motherboard's ports are usb3 and the case ports are usb2?

and somehow whatever the phone and computer are doing when connected takes more cpu time when plugged into the front port by one of those reasons?

[sharp star]

kinda amusing how the RTX 50 series is categorized as false advertising in Wikipedia

but then again it's Wikipedia

Computex is also next week so Jensen is gonna lie out of his ass and more

[lost python]

DLSS 5 will fix it dw.

[sharp star]

maybe

I think the safest explanation for the 5060 not having review samples is that it's being thrown under the bus, too

Unless, of course, you're blindly optimistic about the drivers situation

framing the 5060 as anything other than a waste of sand is gonna be a real one

[glass wadi]

rip in peace to my xm4 case

i dropped it in water and it can't charge anymore after drying

[sharp star]

https://youtu.be/RDoRXn2GOCw

[solid panther]

I feel like there really is never a reason to buy each successive graphics card

I tend to stick with nvidia cause im most familiar with their shit, but never in my life have I grabbed a successive generation cause the upgrade just isnt worth it

Barring a case where I got the card for like super cheap for some reason

Like I did go from a 1070 to a 2070s but only because I got it for like 100 bucks and a trade

[sharp star]

coming from the 40 series, absolutely not, unless you want to cross over to AMD

[solid panther]

But then yeah I went from 2070s to a 4070ti

and the 50 series is just not worth it to me

we'll see how the 60 series shapes up

But I'll be honest, Im kind of glad it isnt worth it?

It'd be annoying to feel like I should upgrade every time

Especially since its like a $800+ card here

[hazy frost]

Depends how low end it is, 4060 to 5070ti is still worth it, 4070 to 5070 isn’t worth it

[sharp star]

okay yeah

[hazy frost]

My 4070ti is staying bc the 5070ti sucks and no one’s selling 4090s

[solid panther]

Im also just sworn off of the xx80 and xx90 cards because I would never in a thousand years need that much power

[hazy frost]

People buying new should usually just buy last gen for better deals anyway

[solid panther]

I dont do 4K, and I upgrade every second gen

so the xx70s or xx70ti is perfect

[sharp star]

I am seriously considering AMD once my 4090 burns out

[hazy frost]

I have no rule about when I upgrade or what I buy besides upgrading when I need to and buying whatever’s better value

[hazy frost]

Well good news is next gen is UDNA

Probably

[solid panther]

Current tech climate is also a little harder to gauge

Next cards could be fucking insanely overpriced

[potent arrow]

I got a 4080s to replace my 3060ti

it was a jump

[hazy frost]

I had a 1070 before my 4070ti

And an rx580 before that

[potent arrow]

☠️ fucking 3060ti took it's time to die

[solid panther]

Well you jumped 2 entire tiers so id hope so

I dont think im moving to AMD anytime soon outside of their CPUs

[sharp star]

but yeah Computex is next week

more opportunities for Jensen to sell lies

[hazy frost]

Why

There’s no reason to be loyal to the brand on GPUs

[solid panther]

Its nothing to do with loyalty

and more to do with familiarity

[hazy frost]

What is there to be familiar with tho

[solid panther]

Also I like a lot of their tech

[hazy frost]

Nothing really changes

[solid panther]

Can't really deny nvidia is the better of the two when it comes to features

[hazy frost]

U have slightly different software that u set and forget either way

[sharp star]

I think the 572 and 576 branches shitting themselves is more than enough for me to jump if it burns out

[solid panther]

You're just paying out the ass for them

[hazy frost]

I mean ehh most of it isn’t really worth it anyway

DLAA is still cool and Ray reconstruction is cool and that’s it

[sharp star]

until then I guess my 4090 will remain in service

[hazy frost]

Lossless scaling is better than either for upscaling overall

[solid panther]

Regardless, I'm sticking with nvidia for now. Least for the GPU

After Intel screwed me on the CPU front though

well

lmao

[hazy frost]

I’m moving to AMD If UDNA goes forward

Easy switch

[solid panther]

Nothin like having to update your bios

[hazy frost]

There’s gonna be no reason to stay on Nvidia if they do

[sharp star]

Must be awesome being Hank right now

[hazy frost]

lol

I haven’t had an Intel cpu in my own pc since I upgraded and that was skylake

[sharp star]

if I wanted to get an Intel CPU, it wouldn’t be for gaming

[hazy frost]

I wouldn’t buy one for anything now

[solid panther]

What a shit show their CPUs have been this gen especially

[sharp star]

true

[hazy frost]

For video editing is just buy an arc gpu to use

Along with an AMD cpu

[potent arrow]

hasn't it been like two gens now

[solid panther]

But I mean, I'm cheering for them on the GPU front.

[sharp star]

Yeah for now I can be Team Brown (Nvidia GPU and AMD CPU)

[hazy frost]

lol

[solid panther]

lmfao true

[hazy frost]

I’ll probably get a x900xt for whatever they call next gen

[sly walrus]

what about nvidia cpu

[hazy frost]

CDNA is already good so I have high hopes for UDNA

[solid panther]

I feel like Intel GPUs are only gonna get traction if they have a good product and they take a hit on the cost front and put them out cheaper than AMD and Nvidia

[hazy frost]

No consumer ones yet

[potent arrow]

they do have a good products tho hiccup

a lot of people are using them for budget cards now

[hazy frost]

People doing video editing are buying arc cards as well

Because they’re actually good for that

[potent arrow]

good encoding

[hazy frost]

Without needing an Intel cpu for quick sync

As well

[solid panther]

lmfao I keep forgetting how much Nvidia owns the market

Christ

[potent arrow]

their GPUs are definitely getting traction, the worry is that Intel is gonna be stupid and cut it before it properly catches on

[hazy frost]

I mean everyone knows these numbers are pumped up from internet cafes tho

It’s not the best representation of the market

[solid panther]

Not that much

[hazy frost]

Yeah that much

[solid panther]

They do have the lion share of the market

[hazy frost]

They have a majority but not close to what the surveys imply

[solid panther]

Their market share is literally like

[hazy frost]

They’re skewed badly

[solid panther]

isnt it like 87% or something

its insanely high

[sharp star]

I kinda wish these hardware surveys excluded internet cafes but idk how

[solid panther]

internet cafes are not making up 30% of that

[hazy frost]

They lost 10% last year as well

[solid panther]

Dunno how accurate that is but

that was last year

[hazy frost]

Where’s that from lol

That’s just a cropped screenshot

[solid panther]

Literally google it

its not hard

That was uh

June 7th 2024

[hazy frost]

I mean u shared a specific statistic in asking u where you found it

Not hard

[solid panther]

But I mean even if they lost near 10% thats still like 80% of the market

Their share is insanely high

No internet cafe is making up that difference

Honestly I wish Nvidia split Gforce off into its own company

[hazy frost]

U really underestimate how big they are outside of western countries lmao

[solid panther]

No, I really dont

I know they're huge

[hazy frost]

Well agree to disagree then

[solid panther]

They're not that huge to make up a near majority of Nvidia's marketshare

If you can show me evidence to the contrary I'll admit I'm wrong

[hazy frost]

I mean I don’t really care if u do or don’t

It’s not that important to me

Its fine lol

[solid panther]

Then why do you push it lmfao

Anyone can just say things

[hazy frost]

I’m not allowed to discuss things now? 😭

[solid panther]

If you're certain you're right then show some evidence of it. Its an interesting topic

I like that stuff

[hazy frost]

I just don’t care enough to go into that much detail when I’m on my phone especially

[solid panther]

Fair

[dire viper]

https://youtu.be/5kQHA6uM5yk?si=f4ZRVUgluxcT6EqE

It’s finally done!

Like two years of restoring this car, just needs paint.

And it rips down the autobahn nice and smooth

[sly elk]

the 1650 being about the same as all the radeon gpus. it makes sense though. that's probably the most sold gpu they have lol

i think it's funny that the 4060 laptop gpu is the most common one in that list

[hot shadow]

4070ti gamers happy and winning

with their very regular good enough card with nothin to complain about

[sly elk]

get whatever gpu you can afford or want and just enjoy it and that's good

[hazy frost]

Im upset and winning just to be contrarian

Sad no good upgrade happy I have a reason to not spend money

[cold yacht]

yeah i kind of wish i waited on pulling the trigger on a 3070 years ago

[latent topaz]

its not due to usb2,3, its tested, also it happened on 3 different PCs

(asked a friend)

its not even data transferring, its just charging

also just happens on ff, not any other

well in anycase its very weird, but i'd rather put the blame on FF, with a chance that its windows

[sly elk]

bla i'm stuck in a funny spot

i think i prefer kde to gnome

but i like gnome's file browser a touch better

also why is my start button a blank icon

that's just cursed lmao

oh nice I can use both file browsers

it's funnier still that the file browser that comes with kde is called dolphin, like the gamecube emulator

[pliant iris]

Should i use egpu to my laptop?

[copper monolith]

Just ordered this. CPU next month

@hot shadow do u think using a 4060 with a bad cpu will harm the gpu?

Hopefully not

I'm using ryzen 3 3100 atm xd will upgrade to ryzen 5 5600

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-astral-rtx-5090-dhahab-edition-now-available-starts-at-7000-but-features-700-worth-of-real-gold

[cerulean talon]

I love that so much, it’s so silly

[sly elk]

the gold anodized heatsink too lmao

tbh for that money they should just use a full copper heatsink

ngl it looks awesome

[sharp star]

Yeah I think you'd have to be a Saudi oil baron to get one

[sly elk]

lol

yep

tbh it's not like any o the other asus special editions were more affordable anyway lmao

if there were a gundam or an evangelion 5090 right now it'd probably cost at least 6-7k to get in the US

[sharp star]

econony...............

[hot shadow]

no, that should not happen

'bad' cpu will simply just bottleneck a cpu-intensive game like an mmo in town or battlefield games that nobody plays anymore :p

[copper monolith]

Ooo ok

Gunna be bottlenecked for a month or 2 i guess xd

[wide hill]

the fact it has arabic text engrained on it, and advertised in arabic, maybe.

and.. also sold just in the middle east

[hazy frost]

I mean who else would realistically buy it tbf

[lost python]

any idea what to look for specifically if i want some sturdier keycaps for my keyboard?
i got a cheapo spacebar that has thicker plastic than the default keys of my keychron and it feels and sounds a whole lot nicer

[potent arrow]

double shot pbt

or cerakey if you want the nuclear option

[sharp star]

Also seconding doubleshot PBT

Cerakey, I have no experience with that but I think those are built like tanks?

[potent arrow]

I mean

it's ceramic

[sharp star]

o

[hazy frost]

Double shot ABS is fine if ur on a budget

It’s like half the price

[sharp star]

But yeah doubleshot PBT would probably be the default option

[hazy frost]

Keychron ship with single shot ABS still I think lol

Almost bottom of the barrel but they’re good for what they are atl

[sharp star]

Yeah which is why I used my own existing ones

[hazy frost]

Double shot ABS clones are so cheap now

There’s a lot of cool designs and they’re not that much worse than the PBT ones imo

Considering the difference in price anyway

[lost python]

Alright will look for those. Still sucks not many give the extra key needed for German layouts

Everyone ansi, no one iso

[hazy frost]

Too many sets are for ANSI

Drives me insane as well

ISO sets cost like 30% more or don’t exist

I hate that stupid tiny return/enter key tho

[potent arrow]

see if jtk has anything good

[lost python]

jtk?

[brave oxide]

well... tariffs have been reduced/paused for 90 days

might be time to buy that new SSD

[hazy frost]

SSDs are kind of a similar price to what they were anyway

Give or take $10

tbh i was waiting for a discount, but no good discounts would ever happen with tariffs in place

[tepid gulch]

I love Nvidia they do nothing wrong ever™

[pine thistle]

If I get latency spikes while downloading something big (or doing a speedtest) is that just the cheap router being shite? I'm using it in WAN mode (behind a second router) and normally I don't get the spikes

I suppose its the only thing that makes sense but I want to make sure before spending money on a pricier one

[hot shadow]

idk that for sure unless you say what router/ping testing

also your modem

also if you have shit old cat5 cable that mice chewed or staples went through and degraded it still, because everyone ideally is on a fresh cat6 at least

[sly elk]

you could find out by plugging into the first router and checking for ping spikes there

[pine thistle]

It's fine when I connect directly to the regular Modem+Router (some new Fritz box), it's only an issue when I put the second router in between (some cheap "cudy" router, never heard of the brand)

Reason I'm even doing that is the cable internet being unreliable to I'm using it with a Sim Card to fail over if my internet dies

[copper monolith]

The tariff already affected pricing on computer parts in Shopee

This one tower was RM2799 last month. This month its Rm3100

[hazy frost]

That seems like usual fluctuation to me idk if that’s what it is

Things go up or down by 10-20% often depending on stock and sales

[median copper]

how often do people here clean their PC"s insides

[hazy frost]

When it gets noticeably dusty

Happens more often bc mine is on the floor not my desk but I clean out all the dust filters and stuff every 2 months and do a proper clean of the inside 1-2 times a year

[lost python]

i do it like once every 1-2 years lmao.
i do the outside like once per week though. dustfilters be blessed

[hazy frost]

I can see why people do it more often if they don’t have dust filters in mesh cases

Would be a nightmare

[sharp star]

Generally every two or three months

[pine thistle]

Usually when I feel it's getting too hot, i.e. not often enough

[lost python]

love that virtually every monitor i look at, has some bullshit issues going on that sometimes get better and sometimes worse with firmware updates

really feels like monitor and TV software is always just ductaped together and supported by toothpicks

where either the entire screen is relatively dark or a third of it is, while the other 2 thirds are fine etc

shame because I had nothing but good experiences with my LG C1

there is no monitor safe from QA issues

it's fucking nightmare

the dead pixel lotteries were much nicer than the "will this thing work or fall out of the frame and kill itself" lottery

CS3 has to put in the order for the next FFXIV trailer like 1.5 years in advance or something

that's why the trailers often contain inaccuracies when compared to the expansions

[sly elk]

probably about once every year or two I take it apart and take it outside and blow it with a duster

[tepid gulch]

How often you should do it depends on your household situation

If you have pets I'd suggest monthly

Does anybody actually do that?

[dire viper]

@sly elk @potent arrow so I am in another discord and have been talking to some folks and one of them is in charge of Miller Motorcars media and photography and he shot me some pics from when they opened their Bugatti dealership

Circa 2006~2012

[hazy frost]

When I see pictures like this I remember how much worse the two tone contrast looks on these cars

Imo anyway

[tepid gulch]

I always hated the 2 tone Bugatti did forever

https://tenor.com/view/bugatti-chiron-bugatti-car-cars-hypercars-gif-16342173

This is peak

Just do accents

I'd rather have this

[hazy frost]

id rather have this

i love the original CCS as well

[dire viper]

If only the eggs were reliable

Koenigsegg behind the scenes rn is a shit show

Some ppl I know at Koenigsegg dealers still haven’t seen cars from like 5 years ago lmfao

Still waiting for them to be fixed

Built, tested, car is completely fucked

[sly elk]

not knowing any better i'd guess that's marin county?

ahaha grenwich ct

nevermind

i thouight those were california license plates

on closer look, i was wrong

[dire viper]

Yuh

He posted some cool pics on their instagram cause it is the 20th anniversary of the Veyron today

The full front end service blanket is wild

[hazy frost]

Buy one that already exists from way back when

CCX would probably be my choice of all of them

The 850 is just a cool tribute to the CC tho

I just don’t like the W16

I’m on board with the new V16 it might actually not sound like shit this time

I love the electric motors for the hybrid system also making more power than most other super cars on the market

[dire viper]

The old cars are also not great

It’s just kinda wack

The w16 sounds fine and the V16 sounds fine

These engines are just optimized for power so exhaust is just wild. Kinda hard to make them sound good while also being completely fine for the road

[sharp star]

Corgi hair gets all over so yes

[tepid gulch]

Corgi you say

[sharp star]

He doesn’t think

[tepid gulch]

Eyes of head empty

[hazy frost]

I’m just a W16 hater

Though some of my favourite cars of all time have 6 cylinder engines as well which people would shit on equally lol

The Ford GT gets too much hate for the v6

Also the XJ220, and the original as well as the next NSX

[tepid gulch]

The fastest cars use v8s

Which is funny

W16 is dumb

[hazy frost]

I mean the w16 is also in some of the fastest production cars u can buy

The hybrid v16 is a lot cooler tho imo

Also the bugatti bolide used the W16 still

Also LMP1 and F1 cars use 6 cylinders, and they’re among the fastest u get outside of production

Big v8s overrated

[lime wasp]

I finished my PC upgrade today!

[dire viper]

W16 is reliable for making power and maintaining speed

W engines were an obsession of Piech admittedly but that paid off

Bugatti couldn’t exist without the W engine

You should see the EB110 engine

3.9L Quad Turbo V12. It has absurdly short stroke and the transmission and lower case are all one unit

Automotive Engineering brain teaser

[sly elk]

that looks awesome

[sly elk]

i'm not yet sold on small displacement high rpm engines

i need to drive a car that sells me on it lol

quad turbo with a million psi boost and 14000rpm redline

dude eb like

i want my car to give me tinnitus

[dire viper]

Large V12’s didn’t exist until Aston Martin decided it would be a selling point

Largest V12 ever put in a production car is the 7.3 Aston Martin

Used in the One-77 and Vantage of that era

Also, the EB110’s engine is unique to say the least

It had to fit in a very small amount of space

So they went with 4 small turbos and a super short over square design meaning it makes zero power down low

Still a very good car to drive according to people I know who own them or have driven them

Also boost is the enemy of redline

Too much pressure in the cylinder go boom

Compress too much air things start getting crazy

I would say my car is the sweet spot

Or like the 2000’s Ferraris

Old style cars in the modern world

High revving not exactly low displacement engines

You kinda have to understand that anything over 3 liters was a lot

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/f_garage-vtec-f_garage-gif-20348226

vtec just kicked in

https://tenor.com/view/vtec-turbo-civic-civic-b18c-gif-22060078

[hazy frost]

Anything over 3 litres is still quite a lot in most of the world outside of America tbf

Lmao

In Europe a 3L is a big engine already

Most people have smth between 1 and 2.5

g-gold plated 5090

The ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 Dhahab Edition boasts 6.5g of 999 fineness gold plating. This opulent detail underscores its value as a high-end collector's item. lord

of fuckin course it's got arabic shit all over it

[sharp star]

yeah we were discussing it

you’d have to be an oil baron to buy one

[hot shadow]

... 🤔

it's garish unfortunately

[wraith agate]

yeah those oil barons (oil sultans?) have terrible taste

they all buy the crappiest cars imaginable like a Lambo, everything is gold and keep building terrible buildings

[sharp star]

I don’t think they care about appearances as long as they show off that they’re rich

they probably buy Vertu phones as well

[wraith agate]

I mean, you do have to care about appearances if you want to show off you are rich

[sharp star]

I don’t think they care about it looking good but rather how obnoxiously rich they look to other people

like you can probably smell the money coming off them

[wraith agate]

yeah in that case, yes

[tepid gulch]

Get rich enough you can just abandon your car in the desert and not care about it

Runs out of gas buys new car

[sly elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5z-rcEijI

imagine buying this in the US lol

that'd definitely be an auction car impounded

with like 10 different previosu owners from a buy here pay here lot

i love how this is going exactly like a vice grip garage episode lmao

eh actually it's in nice shape minus that front bumper

looks really nice :3

love the green

[copper monolith]

Get it i know u are rich

[hot shadow]

but it's not even out yet

also im gonna get JUDGED irl

[copper monolith]

So u will buy it?

[hot shadow]

😭

no

[copper monolith]

My rtx 4060 is here

Lets see how bad the bottleneck is xd

[sly elk]

the nvidia fanboys lol

this wasn't my imagination

reading the rest of the comments though, I have to admit AMD did a good job ruining the chance they had with these LOL

lots of people sore about paying $700+ for a $599 card

(and I don't blame em one bit!)

[lost python]

Is it only the US getting fucked that hard with the prices?
Because the card is like 730 here including tax, which would be just slightly over 600 without

[sharp star]

last I checked the US is getting fucked as hard as SEA, if not more

[lost python]

Well SEA is always fucked so that’s really impressive

[sharp star]

Mhm

[sly elk]

it matters not to me

i did buy a 9070xt

[hazy frost]

They fixed the old one now as well

They had a blue one prior to that for a video that they fixed ‘in 24 hours’ allegedly

They were both cheap as hell tho

[sharp star]

But yeah I might end up skipping RDNA4 unless AMD makes an enthusiast card or my 4090 actually dies

the latter takes precedence though

[hazy frost]

Kinda, the UK is fine tbh

They’re slightly overpriced

9070 is £580, 9070xt is £660

5070 is £500 and 5070ti is £740

It was never really an issue here but people on reddit are mostly American so it seems like it’s a huge issue everywhere

Can’t make people pay scalper prices for my old gpu tho 💔

[hot shadow]

yea you can

post your feet next to them

put nail polish

lotion it up

[royal forge]

Welp. Turns out i got to check in my pc for my flight

Cant ship it

[hazy frost]

True

I’m morally against making people pay too much anyway I couldn’t do it

I could’ve sold it a month ago and bought one again now and made £200

[hot shadow]

I hope you took the SSD out if you're gonna fly with it or ship or anything

cause merely rumbling it causes them to fail

reminder

that's why they fail when you tumble it around a parking lot in a shopping cart and the asphalt is rough

[hazy frost]

Get a special pouch sewn into your shirts for your ssd when u travel

[sharp star]

Smuggle them in your body

[lost python]

i think you mean HDD, because SSDs dont really care for that

[royal forge]

Plan is to pull out the
GPU
PSU
Cooler
HDD

I dunoe if i should pull out the RAM sticks and NVME

RAM maybe since they sorta stick out

[hot shadow]

I carried a GPU and two SSD in my purse before lollllllll

the airport security thought it was funni

[royal forge]

Yea. Im plannin on doin that

But i have a fuckin 3090 so

But i got 40kg check in

[hot shadow]

ram will be fine whatever

[royal forge]

My plan is PSU into check in

[hot shadow]

nvme maybe think about it..

they're fragile

[royal forge]

HDD, SSD, NVME, GPU in carry on

[hot shadow]

yea

wrapped in socks and undies and shirts

[royal forge]

NVME i dunoe if i should take out

[hot shadow]

wrapped in soft thing around the anti static

[royal forge]

Cuz its screwed into tje mobo

[hazy frost]

I mean u might as well

[royal forge]

Its not like, plugged in

[hot shadow]

I kept all the anti static plastic the GPU comes in

[hazy frost]

It’s probably fine but it’s safer to take it out and it’s not hard to carry with u

[hot shadow]

yea

[lost python]

take out as much as you can.
given how they yeet around luggage, i wouldnt risk it

[hazy frost]

I’ve seen what they do to my luggage through the window before when flying

Makes me cry

[hot shadow]

just don't be a bagplopper if you're carrying it with you too, some people set their bag down too hard lmaooooo

[royal forge]

Mobo, cpu and case i think i dont wanna seperate

Its too risky

I have the original box

[hot shadow]

I wrapped ceramic in soft things and it survived the luggage shit

[royal forge]

I'll wrap the case in bubble wrap

[hot shadow]

you pack it in the center

[royal forge]

I have the original case box

So i got the styrofoam thingies

[hot shadow]

good

[royal forge]

But i'll pack the empty space with bubble wrap

Or clothes

[hot shadow]

no wool

[royal forge]

Ah. Damn. My wool lingerie is wasted then

Just some cotton shirts tbh

[hazy frost]

Who still wears that

[hot shadow]

asians

Lets hope my 1440p monitor survives

Gotta get them fragile warnin tape

[hazy frost]

Idk anyone who owns a wool item now lmao

all that does is them thinking "fragile? lets see about that"

but i havent worn wool sweatrers in years

ig its just not popular here

[wraith agate]

glad I don't use bing

and fuck your microshit

[inland mauve]

DuckDuckGo runs on Bing, I think

[sharp star]

yeah lmao

sorry

[inland mauve]

tbh it's been kind of bad for a while now

search results infested with shitty AI generated bullshit

[sharp star]

I wish I didn’t have to use search engines in 2025

Especially with how shit Google’s gotten

[inland mauve]

why yes I love searching for an extremely specific problem and the first 10 search results are generic websites I've never heard of that start describing the most basic knowledge about how a computer works

what is even the point? to generate passive income by getting advertisement income from stray clicks?

[hot shadow]

is there an addon that just blocks the ai shit and some of the ads on google cause gotdam u rite

lol

[sharp star]

https://www.theverge.com/news/667484/apple-eu-ios-app-store-warning-payment-system

lmao

[pine thistle]

someone in the comments suggesting they should also display that for restaurants on apple maps lol

[sharp star]

Apple using scare tactics isn’t new but what is

[pine thistle]

Crazy how desperate they are for that 30% cut

[hazy frost]

I don’t see it as that bad tbf, it might scare off some old people that don’t know how anything works but I think most people can look past it

[inland mauve]

anyone who is informed can look past it but you gotta remember that most people think their smartphone runs on magic

[hazy frost]

Technically it’s an accurate warning atl

And I mean there are apps where I can see it being a good thing but I’m not sure that’s their intention lol

[inland mauve]

it is absolutely not

[hazy frost]

But yeah in general warning people it might not be secure isn’t a bad thing imo

People just gotta be more tech literate I mean it’s 2025

[inland mauve]

true

but tech companies like Apple also have a vested interest in people becoming less tech literate

[hazy frost]

A quick Google search when u see this can confirm whether the alternative payment method is safe anyway

I see it as a net positive if it’s not only going to be used o big apps where Apple is losing money and goes for every app on the store like this

[inland mauve]

that's what the push for AI dependency is for, to make people completely dependent on corporate-owned AIs that they can then have them tell whatever they want

[hazy frost]

It’ll probably work for a while

I don’t think that’s sustainable tho

[inland mauve]

it isn't, because AIs are absolutely not ready for that level of general use

unless you meant the warning

[hazy frost]

I think the fearmongering of that future is more effective than that actually becoming a reality lmao

I said smth about AI at a family gathering and everyone told me no ur an idiot and a few days later bill gates said the same thing in an interview and they immediately changed their minds

[inland mauve]

I foresee a future where stuff like that story about a data leak at a 2FA provider for Steam that turned out to be the hallucination of an AI is going to be much more common

[hazy frost]

Yes

I really just wish people were more educated

There’s a certain demographic that is where they’re not too old or young but the youngest generation now is absolutely useless

[inland mauve]

now we have to not just deal with humans spreading misinformation for their own profit, but also AIs spreading misinformation because they're hallucinating

[pine thistle]

Anything that remotely looks like a scary warning will stop users from continuing

[hazy frost]

I disagree

[inland mauve]

and AIs can do it completely automatically

[hazy frost]

It might stop some people but the majority of people I know would ask someone or Google what it means

In which case u find out it’s not that bad

[sharp star]

look if you told people to not stick their fingers into a hornet’s nest, they will do it

[hazy frost]

Lmao

It doesn’t say it’s unsafe because they can’t legally do that anyway most likely it just comes across as a warning to be cautious imo

[pine thistle]

Maybe you're blessed with being surrounded by technologically literate people

[hazy frost]

And there’s apps that definitely should be on

[hazy frost]

I definitely am not

They’re about as useless as most people

But having the internet easily reachable on the same device means u can pretty quickly double check whether smth is safe

[pine thistle]

Googling on their own makes them better than most to me already, my bar is lowww

Took me ages to train my mother to Google stuff herself

[hazy frost]

And like I said if this is an all apps things I see it as net positive because there’s apps that aren’t safe where people actually wouldn’t Google it before

Despite it being done for greed

[pine thistle]

idk, on smaller apps the cut hurts the dev more, although I guess they can just increase prices

[hazy frost]

I’m not commending Apple for coming up with the system bc they’re a shitty company but the outcome is probably reasonably okay

[hot shadow]

figurative stonks on being somebody's personal life coach going WAAAAAAAY up

I have to teach my grandparents a lot but I give leeway to people who are like 70+

A lot of people under 50 I know now atl know to double check things if they’re unsure

Though the AI overview is now hurting that as well on Google

[hot shadow]

my mom was too dumb to even do the iphone tutorial when you get a new phone

I kinda facepalmed mentally

[hazy frost]

I must say the AI overview seems to have gotten BETTER though still pretty unreliable

[hazy frost]

[hazy frost]

My family don’t trust things I say because old people then a few months later it’ll be in an article and they tell me the same thing I told them already

I can’t help them with technology

[hot shadow]

yeah

[sharp star]

because it could have taken them two seconds to resolve it but they choose to use me as a crutch

[inland mauve]

my mother just asks me about stuff she can't otherwise find on Google so now I'm stuck getting questions about SAP and other shit that's unnecessarily complicated

[hazy frost]

Have to take a break

Lmao

[inland mauve]

bitch why do you listen to this clickbait shit, I can also gaslight you and I'm fucking adorable

[hot shadow]

my mom learned English and japanese to impress men to get a husband and then proceeded to forget two whole languages

idk sometimes if she is stupid or actually a genius

lmao

[inland mauve]

many such cases

[hazy frost]

That’s actually relatable I learned Spanish and some Cantonese for people I was interested in

I can speak none now

[inland mauve]

the line between being a genius and being a moron is pretty thin anyway

[hot shadow]

I feel like this too cause my mandarin is eroding

[sharp star]

as far as I can tell

[pine thistle]

to be fair if you never use it then it's easy to forget

[hazy frost]

I learned Cantonese to shit talk my friend to his parents bc he didn’t speak it

[tepid gulch]

Being a genius means you most likely are majorly lacking in other areas of thought

[hazy frost]

As well

that doesnt sound right

[copper monolith]

idk thats the result im getting and i saw some ppl got the same issue as me on reddit

i went and reset everything now im back to 130fps

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1drw4c4/fps_drops_when_using_dlss/

havent tried the first comment solution tho will do tomorrow

[sharp star]

ingame DLSS settings or override

[copper monolith]

both

and i tried just using in game

and just using the app

same thing

[sharp star]

Yeah okay so driver-level DLSS settings in the Nvidia app will take precedence over ingame settings

[sharp star]

would get this if I didn't have my Antec

and also if it were available here

[copper monolith]

ahh

[sharp star]

I personally use the driver-level overrides because the ingame settings are ass anyway

And also I get to force DLAA

[copper monolith]

so i just just fr in game and just mess with the app

[sharp star]

Just enable DLSS ingame

Fiddle with the settings in the app

[copper monolith]

been doing that for hours ;w;

i guess its time for me to just sleep

Hey pc gang, i want to get a pc for ffxiv. Are these good specs to play on higher settings?

I dont know much about computers so thats why i ask

[sharp star]

realistically? no

[silver pawn]

Damn

[lost python]

thats like 700$ more than its worth

[sharp star]

yeah

[real edge]

wanna get a prebuilt? buy the parts yourself and ask a mom and pop pc repair shop to build your pc for you

much better specs at a cheaper price

[sharp star]

AM4 is a dead-end platform too

still supported but also dead

[hazy frost]

it doesnt matter if its priced for what it is

even if thats CAD its too much lmao

[silver pawn]

None nearby

[hazy frost]

theres better prebuilts just on newegg than that one

its worth like $700

[hot shadow]

this is like 'everyone hates these' greatest hits

lol

[silver pawn]

Is there a good site to check then?

[hazy frost]

theres one with a ryzen 7700 and 5060ti on newegg for that price

assuming uSD

or 13400f and 4070super

[silver pawn]

Is that good?

I genuinely dont know what ars good pc specs i just want a nice computer to play with my friends

[hot shadow]

what is your budget

[hazy frost]

its still not a great deal bc prebuilts are all expensive but the gpu is about twice as fast as the one u sent for the same price

[silver pawn]

Id like to spend around 2k

Less is fine i just want a good computer

[hazy frost]

whatre u playing

depends what games how much is reasonable to spend

its probably still cheaper to pay someone to build it nearish u and have it shipped back to u if u find somewhere willing

bc every prebuilt rn is like $300+ over valued

[silver pawn]

Im getting it to play final fantasy 14, but i also play bloons

[hot shadow]

oh so ideally you would want to futureproof it a lil bit so that you can explore other games then i assume

its not that overpriced bc its on sale considering prices of gpus rn

9070xt and 7800x3d for $1800 is basically what theyd cost to build urself atm

It does look pretty

Would that run ff14

[sharp star]

it would and more

[hazy frost]

its overkill for ff14, u could play it in 4K on max settings easily

[silver pawn]

Excellent

Thank you

[hazy frost]

but u seem like ur not one to upgrade it urself so it should last forever

you can play any new triple A games that come out as well

[silver pawn]

How do you upgrade pcs? Is there a website to buy parts?

[hazy frost]

yeah u can buy all the parts yourself, a lot of retailers have them

[silver pawn]

Sick

[hazy frost]

best buy, B&H, microcenter, amazon sell stuff

https://www.newegg.com/andromeda-insights-gaming-desktop-pcs-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-32gb-ddr5-2tb-pcie-ssd-black/p/3D5-006J-00043?Item=9SIBWCHKEA4488

theres also this one

[silver pawn]

I do have a seperate question though. How do you set up multiple monitors? My friend madi has like 4 set up for hers.

I only see one hdmi port

[hazy frost]

gpu has 3 display port and one HDMI i thinkl

most new monitors come with display port as the ideal cable, u can get hdmi to displayport cables tho

[silver pawn]

Ok

I have an hdmi monitor rn

[hazy frost]

this one looks better btw if ur going to max out the $2000 budget

more storage, better cpu, what seems like a higher quality power supply from the description

[silver pawn]

Sounds good too

I think ill go with the first, it looks great for what i want

[hazy frost]

though i have doubts about whetehr its legit from the lac kof reviews

[hazy frost]

yeah its still more than enough for u

[silver pawn]

Thank you for your help

[hazy frost]

no worries

if u need help with stuff once u get it u can ask that here as well

[silver pawn]

Awesome

[royal forge]

IM SUPPOSED TO CARRY MY CLOTHES IN THIS AS WELL

[potent arrow]

why the whole box

just shove it into the antistatic and wedge it between clothes

[royal forge]

The box comes with foam that keeps it very stable

[potent arrow]

if you want I guess

the clothe is usually fine lol

[royal forge]

Alright then

[potent arrow]

as long as it's not whipping around

and wedged in clothes, there's no reason to worry tbh

[royal forge]

Aite.

[hot shadow]

go get 2nd luggage lol and check-in that one

[royal forge]

Im hand carryin the gpu and HDDs

The GPU is worth more than the case, CPU and mobo combined

[hot shadow]

gud

now your responsibility is don't knock the bag around

[hazy frost]

Small

Is that a 5090 lmao

It’s only 23mm longer than my 4070ti

Incredible

True

They got smaller again

But thicker

😭

I will not comment on that

I remember the time when I ordered my gpu for below retail The month it came out

And it arrived within a week

Good times
