but the Steam Deck was virtually zero; no files were retained

[glossy ravine]

Given the price of ddr5 ram, microcenter has a bundle for a few hundred dollars, and then i could probably sell the ddr5 ram at the going rate lmao

(Probably a little under.)

[sharp star]

Also still running on the stripped-down install of Windows 11 as usual

[glossy ravine]

Is there a good cpu comparison site that isnt the banned one in the pinned comments or do I just go to youtube

[sharp star]

like as a general thing or

[glossy ravine]

In general.

[sharp star]

I’m sure people are aware of how Intel/AMD tiering works by now and that the latter’s X3D chips are in a class of their own

but also some chips tend to be similar to each other performance-wise

[hazy frost]

no

[glossy ravine]

Like. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Id like to see the performance comparison to even to the shown 7 7700X

[hazy frost]

just check the most recent reviews for cpus from the usual reviewers

[glossy ravine]

I get that the X3D chips are peak,

[hazy frost]

not much

lol

[glossy ravine]

But if its like. A 5% boost. It aint worth it

[hazy frost]

its not worth it

[sharp star]

last I checked the 5800X3D still holds up very well

[hazy frost]

7700x is way faster for stuff outside of gaming

in gaming barely anything

[compact pine]

wot about the newest 9800x3d? to much?

[glossy ravine]

Primarily play games on my pc.

[sharp star]

9800X3D outclasses everything in gaming except for the 9950X3D (by a small margin)

[hazy frost]

then i wouldnt bother

its basically 5%

[hot shadow]

I need a chiikawa plush with that teddy bear AI so it can tell me to go die and how to make bombs

[glossy ravine]

20 fps on average isnt. A lot.

With how fast technology moves and upgrades, you'd think the performance difference would be higher.

[compact pine]

yeee i was just wondering why they wanted the 7700 unlesss it was for budget

[glossy ravine]

Bundle is the reason. Ram prices are. Insane right now lmao

[hazy frost]

the 9800x3d is another 15% faster than the 7800x3d was

it depends what game u play

[glossy ravine]

So it would be a 20% buff from 5800X3d to 9800x3D?

[compact pine]

yea i got a bundle for my wife under 1k before ram got up there . at that point ram was $400 this was in november

[glossy ravine]

I'd be able to reuse parts. (GPU, Power Supply, Case, Cooler. Storage. Etc.) But 600 usd is still a pretty penny.

[hazy frost]

on average yeah

[glossy ravine]

In that case, Im. Probably going to wait for AM6.

[hazy frost]

theres no reason for u to upgrade

[cold yacht]

I only remember of the 500 billion dollar deal Sam Altman has for ram manufacturers

[glossy ravine]

I thought it would be like. A 30-50% upgrade by this point. But I guess the dying gasp of am4 is really just that good.

[hazy frost]

it is in cpu heavy titles much bigger

like in bg3 its about 40%

the 9800x3d is ridiculous in scenarios where its actually cpu limited but thats not a lot of games

[tepid gulch]

I love me some vcache

[glossy ravine]

I got an ssd from a christmas a few years ago.

Im trying to see if I can salvage it because windows just isnt having a good time trying to use it.

A Western Digital Blue 1 TB.

In file explorer it shows up as Drive E, but freezes/doesnt show the volume.

Bios does recognize it.

Turning my pc on with it plugged in leads to infinite an loading circle

[paper tusk]

hopefully just need to nuke and pave in Disk Management

[glossy ravine]

Unplugging. Everything is fine. Plugging it in? it freezes.

If. Big if. I can get this drive working again. I'm using it as my bazzite drive

Oh. The firmware this drive was shipped with was borked.

Thanks WD

Oh and the software is considered legacy and not supported anymore

Never buying a WD drive ever

[sly walrus]

is western digital even a thing anymore

[glossy ravine]

Apparently its stuff got merged with sandisk

[sly walrus]

right, that was it

[atomic halo]

Do people use 1.1.1.1 warp atm?

[pine thistle]

It is, they just do HDDS now and gave flash storage to SanDisk

or well, undid their sandisk acquisition and spun them off into a new public company

[glossy ravine]

My RMA was approved.

I thought I was SOL. Apparently not.

[sharp star]

I used it while I was in Japan; I’m not seeing as much success here at home in the Philippines

I swapped back to Mudfish

[hazy frost]

Most companies that aren’t ASUS or scamsung will actually help if u contact them tbf

[sharp star]

Asus and Samsung will toy with you and try to deny an RMA

If you can strong-arm them into honoring your request then great

Though I found it’s more trouble than it’s worth

[grizzled hamlet]

Got a nas setup today and got all my important data migrated over. I got some ff13-2 CDs that I used to make sure everything worked

I don't like that I'm forced to use nfsv3 and the v4 workaround is meh, don't want to install truenas either

But it is what it is, everything is back to working now and the reliability is alright.

I need to migrate another bit of data from one of my other servers, but I'm gonna wait till I get some nvmes put in it first. Dunno if I also want to hook my proxmox cluster up to that as well

[glad dove]

can anyone recommend a good 9-11 channel soundbar that supports atmos? something not more than 1200$ US

or i guess if it is more, then if it has features worthy help me understand

i was kind of leaning towards the samsung HW-Q990D (~900$) 11.1.4

[glad dove]

https://electronics.woot.com/offers/new-samsung-hw-q990f-zc-11-1-4ch-dolby-atmos-soundbar-w-subwoofer-1 ope, new model

k bought it

[sharp star]

sigh

the errors somehow kept coming

two days after I thought I resolved it

I'm gonna swap out the PSU because it might be that

[sharp star]

it is not the PSU

I think my PC just decided to be Like That™ to spite me

Well okay

I found out what was wrong

Unfortunately most of it is bad news

I used a WireView because it looks nice

The cable end does not have any burn marks. The connector going into the GPU has some very slight burn marks but not burned enough to melt

Some yellowing is on the connector, and no, there was no smoke or burning smell

Oh and it only shuts down under load

If it shuts down again then I'm swapping out the 4090

12VHPWR is such a shitass standard man

the two days this has happened there was no risk of fire which is... great?

[sharp star]

I was able to scrape off bits of plastic with my fingernail from this

[hot shadow]

HUH

you almost died in a fire?!

omg

[sharp star]

oh no uh

there was no fire?

it was still a very early catch though

regardless Nvidia will not hear the end of this from me

[hot shadow]

[sharp star]

But yeah it was uh

Native cable > WireView > GPU

[hot shadow]

lmao wtf did waffle do to get muted

f

[sharp star]

the WireView > GPU end was what caused the problems

[hot shadow]

euro moment

ohhh

I guess find another solution to look nice

[sharp star]

you can’t tell me that this shit is safe dawg

[hot shadow]

I don't think this thing is meant for long term use

isn't this for testing only

[sharp star]

I think I bought it in '23

[hot shadow]

hmmm

it just lets you see power consump rite

[sharp star]

yes

[hot shadow]

yea I wouldn't be attaching any extra bits at the end

that cable standard is too scary

I won't even use the rgb cables

I bet they'll burn too

[sharp star]

yeah it was 2023

Yeah I'm scraping off plastic from the housing

The connector is partially exposed there

Jesus Christ

Time to start thinking about mortality

[hard drift]

idk about the regular but the new ones are designed to alert you of all the problems with the connector and used as you would a normal connection

[hard drift]

if you can afford it the pro 2 is a lot better because it monitors the current per pin and makes a noise when something is wrong. you can even wire it to shutdown your pc if something is wrong

still in preorder though

yeah it's okay guys, you can't buy their PC hardware anymore so they're making up for it by faking more frames

I hate this so much

devs will stop optimizing altogether and will approximate their games instead

[lost python]

simulate all the frames and make people get used to the shitass latency before moving gaming entirely into the cloud

and in two generations consoles are just streaming boxes

[sharp star]

surely some people will have completely normal takes about DLSS 4.5

[sharp star]

do you think faking frames is considered embarrassing to people because I thought it was embarrassing to fake stuff in general

[lost python]

i thought so too, but here we are with AI "artists" clogging social media

[pine thistle]

PCs too at this rate

just have everything be a thin client because it's cheaper and gives corps full control

no more of this pesky "personal computing"

i want to try dlss 4.5 but idk about using newer nvidia drivers

decisions

im using 10 month old drivers rn

[sharp star]

I think the dlls can be downloaded via DLSS Swapper

there’s also hidden presets L and M

[hazy frost]

can just go back if it’s an issue

I’ve used some recent ones and still had issues in a few games but maybe it won’t be anything u play

[dire viper]

I had to go back to October drivers for a minute with my stuff

I think it was BF6 that was shitting itself and then back dating drivers fixed it

But now with new drivers it’s fine

[real edge]

im on 566.36

cause dont fix what aint broken

[somber meadow]

Have anyone tested FFXIV on DLSS 4.5 and It's new preset M?

[paper tusk]

for the new presets you need to use Ultra Performance (L) or Performance (M) mode otherwise image quality sucks

preset K is the new default

reset J has less ghsting but may have flickering (L/M are the new presets)

[lunar sparrow]

Someone on the ff14 reddit wants to die on this hill and it's funny.

[lunar sparrow]

Tried, there is a perf hit with DLAA, but if you lock to 60fps no issues (i am running a 5070Ti, so my max fps with M was at like 90 fps, but it was in the 100++ before).

It's sharper visually (from sharpening) and remvoes that weird moire/black texture pattern K has

[paper tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/that's-a-lot-of-words-im-not-reading-too-bad-words-lot-of-gif-7961516896206726036

probably because the argument against frame gen can be boiled down to "increases latency from click to action (accounting for your display)"

[warped siren]

we used to run games natively

where did we go as a society

[lunar sparrow]

Which FG is optional and FF14 doesn't even have frame gen.

[lunar sparrow]

Hmm, I blame when we shifted how game lighting works.

[warped siren]

people love their vaseline smeared DLASS now

[lunar sparrow]

DLAA is amazing.

[warped siren]

yeah games looked fine before

[lunar sparrow]

But now all games need some form of global illumination which is more resource intensive.

SSR reflections are garbage but they choose that too.

Give me my cubes.

[paper tusk]

I shot stencil shadows in my veins and are showing my age

[lunar sparrow]

FEAR.

Altho stencils are really really sharp.

Unrealistically sharp.

[paper tusk]

if it's good enough for doom 3 it's good enough with modifications (for global illum/soft shadow effects)

[lunar sparrow]

TAA makes all games a blurry mess and you don't need DLSS/FSR.

Imo the only usecase for me for DLSS/FSR is if you do pathtracing

Which to me... is amazing.

(i do secretly wish for a pathtracing update for ff14 as an option, my anger with the shadow quality in the game will end)

[paper tusk]

I suggested O3DE (cryengine) to se a while ago since it has easy requirements and great dev environment. most in one ear and out the other chioce ever.

[lunar sparrow]

CryEngine good, until it wasn't for a bit, but it's aged well. Just dunno if it will return.

IIRC it went throug the same struggleds Frostbite did where it was meant for one thing, but then had to be used in all these different titles.

So during that rought patch of them adding features to it the engine wasn't in a good state

[paper tusk]

maybe if people get sick of unreal and godot feels too much like unity 2.0

[lunar sparrow]

I think Unreal has one advantage is that it has in-house troubleshooters because they have the money to do so from Fortnite.

Unreal isn't bad tbf, it's just that people keep forcing all the hardware expensive features

It's also intuitive as heck.

I just hate that TAA is now the standard AA of choice

[paper tusk]

yeah the tech support helps a lot even if the barrier to entry is kinda ass for large projects

[lunar sparrow]

I even prefer FXAA over TAA...

[sharp star]

bruh I want to strap whoever pushes TAA in TYOOL 2026 onto a rocket

"why yes I like the look of vaseline smudged into my already-shitty graphics, how did you know"

[lost python]

funny. apparently they didnt talk at all about this during their stage at CES, just AI shit and servers and stuff

[hazy frost]

That’s only usually bc FXAA is better with minimum effort than TAA if they actually tried TAA is by far the best method that doesn’t destroy performance

The best effect comes from just using upscaling at highest quality or forcing native and whatever AA they have baked into them on most games

Would you guys recomend me to move to 4.5 dlss preset M on FFXIV? does it look better? does the fps hit worth it?

Mind that I play on 1080p with a gtx 5060 16gb

[latent plank]

I get 120fps-ish with a 4060m without DLSS...

You won't need DLSS with 1080p.

[somber meadow]

There is a difference with DLAA, for sure

[latent plank]

Well you said DLSS so.

[hazy frost]

i dont think youll notice much in ffxiv tbh lol

rarely are u zoomed in enough to notice any changes in gameplay

[latent plank]

M is a performance preset anyway, you won't get much benefit with DLAA in that regard.

[somber meadow]

I thought that each new preset was suppose to give improvements over the previous? That's why I heared that a lot liked what K did

[latent plank]

They're just different models.

Not neccessarily improved, it depends on usecase.

[somber meadow]

It's not sharper than K?

[latent plank]

Give it a try, you can always revert.

AFAIK DLAA won't matter with sharpness either since it's just running the model at current res

[brave oxide]

even at 1080p you could tell the difference between K and non K, I haven't tried L or M yet

i recorded this to show a friend DLSS vs FSR in 14, this was before preset K

[latent plank]

Last time I tried DLAA there was horrible ghosting on K

[brave oxide]

I haven't had issues with DLAA and K

[latent plank]

Probably an issue with my setup then

Actually the issue was that it'd get very pixelated as if Dynamic res was on occasionally, even though it was force on and through the driver profile

generally around the entrance of instances where the circle things are

[sharp star]

well that hook is actually doing its job

been over nine hours and the adhesive is still holding

[brave oxide]

ok i dont see preset M available for ffxiv, and picking "latest" seems to just enable K

nvm im dumb, didnt have the beta enabled

M seems fine so far

[brave oxide]

it's just JKLM now

[sharp star]

Huh

Weird because I'm still able to force it

[brave oxide]

it shows up in the list but i assume it just defaults to something else like J or K

[sharp star]

Probably

It's weird because I'm still able to select preset E in the Nvidia App

[brave oxide]

i had to enable dlss overlay to check here

[sharp star]

The Nvidia overlay?

Huh okay

[brave oxide]

nah dlss overlay is separate, dlss swapper can enable it, or you can do it with regedit, i followed this

To get up and running with this, simply hit Win + R and enter Regedit in the box. Make your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NGXCore and right-click on the right-hand panel and create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value called ShowDlssIndicator. Set the value of this to 1024 in decimal and then close the Registry Editor and you're done.

well i swapped to E just to check and it does seem to be working (?)

i went to check yuweyawata with E and there's that ugly ass trail again

That's why I always say school sucks

[sharp star]

propaganda

[hazy frost]

True

I went through the British education system where we have no sense of national pride and talk about how bad our country is

[tepid gulch]

If you tried to do that in school here you'd be fired and barred from ever teaching again

That's why so many Americans are dumb

Plus a combination of laziness and the inability to talk about anything in school that is "sensitive"

[hazy frost]

We learn about how bad America is too

It is funny when u have a class talking about issues globally and the examples are like struggling developing countries and America

[tepid gulch]

Then you know more about America than the average American

[hazy frost]

Probably

[tepid gulch]

School here is basically just a cult

Tfw checked if the 5090 was tampered with but so far looks good

[tender mantle]

Can anyone help me find a keyboard? Ive been looking for something apparently rather specific, and I can only seem to find not what im looking for.

Does there exist a mechanical keyboard, with:

1. frame bezel. I need to have 'meat' under spacebar.

2. backlit. Rgb preferred, but not necessary.

3. hot-swappable switches

4. offline driver/software

5. 80% TKL or larger. Aside from numpad, all keys should be in their 'normal' position (some move home/del/ins around)

All I can seem to find are 60%, not in stock, and online only software.

Am I looking for something way too specific?

[odd talon]

Definitely custom

[tender mantle]

Yeah thats what ive been looking at, like keychron. Their software is either online, or you 'have to code' to access the RGB stuff

Or any keyboard that fits that criteria, with Kailh navy heavy switches

Royal kludge seems to also have like these weird 64% boards, in fact almost all of them are like 60%, 70%, all these really weird tiny keyboards

I dont want a tiny keyboard lol

What's real crappy too is i have the NES style 8bitdo keyboard, and I can swap the switches in that. But its not backlit for whatever reason lol

[hot shadow]

royal kludge, get wrist rest

96% good

not specific, those are like basic standards

you dont need bezel, just get a wrist rest like a normal person and it'll be solved

but also their magnetic wristrest kinda becomes the bottom bezel anyway

or you can yank it apart a lil to give a gap

https://vortexgear.store/products/multix?srsltid=AfmBOooJfGigZWRJN25euTMSuuardLo1rYV2hrNB14yvYpk1D1ocQ7W5

also the vortex multix

if that's not meaty enough you should still go get a wood or squishy wrist rest

i guess ducky one 3 or one 3 pro is also good but bezel thin

[tender mantle]

i do have a wrist rest; the bezel is for my thumb to rest on lol

i actually just stumbled on this

https://keydous.store/products/nj87-pro

the keycaps are meh but whatever i can change those, and its got a nice fat bezel under spacebar

[potent arrow]

can't help cuz I would never get anything full-size 😭😭😭

as big as I would want

[tender mantle]

why on earth do all of these keyboards remove home and end >.>

ctrl + end = instant end of document

and who even uses insert anymore

[potent arrow]

I use a mouse that's infinite scroll

so I just...get to the bottom of I ever...need too

[tender mantle]

g913 gang

[potent arrow]

nah modded Gpro super light

[tender mantle]

oh you misunderstand. the scroll wheel wont work on the documents i ctrl end

these are million line + documents

[potent arrow]

and I use insert a lot for Rockwell Logix macros lol

this board is as custom as it gets

[tender mantle]

and the most recent events are always at the very end, so

[tender mantle]

thats fair

[potent arrow]

and like if I need something specifically to skip to the end or do something, it's probably on my streamdeck or my foot pedal lol

[tender mantle]

i mean i can basically reprogram them too, cant i? in the software, instead of having ins/del, have it be home/end?

[potent arrow]

yeah

most boards are reprogrammable

at least the ones worth buying

like keychron is all VIA so it's easy to do

mine has a lot of whack ass assignments as well

[tender mantle]

this entire ordeal all started because i wanted to switch the switch in my keyboard

but im tired of not having backlit lol

[potent arrow]

just get keychron if you arnt a keyboard nerd tbh

and then choose your switches

call it a day

I've built so many for so many none keyboard people, it just works

[tender mantle]

the keycaps i dont care about, the switches i dont care about, i just want a bare basic kit with RGB/backlighting that i can plop my own switches in, keycaps are a bonus

and offline software

[potent arrow]

keychron

[tender mantle]

i refuse to subscribe to webbased software lol

[potent arrow]

literally just keychron lol

[tender mantle]

thats the other one i kept landing on, the uh. ...k98 pro something or other, but i kept reading that the rgb stuff was only controllable online

[potent arrow]

idk even know what that is lol

the tool for keychron is via, it's browser based and you can self host it lol

you can install it as well

it's FOSS

used by most custom boards at this point

[latent plank]

keychrons software is just their own wrapper for via, you don't have to use it at all

[potent arrow]

literally what I'm saying

[latent plank]

[tender mantle]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-pro-qmk-via-wireless-mechanical-keyboard this one

i almost wonder if that would fit in this 8bitdo ...case i guess?

https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechanical-keyboard/ i have this and that nj87 almost looks like the same size

minus the top part

is there any where i could just get like ...an rgb/backlight insert?

[odd talon]

Need one

Also can confirm the 5090 is chunky

[hot shadow]

no, afaik it's a cursed diy project to ever do that

i would not

[hot shadow]

the only solution is just find rgb capable pcb with hot swappable if you're ever gonna get a custom body and throw the pcb in there and throw your good switches in there

like if you're going super hardcore enthusiast

[odd talon]

The last part is gonna arrive before my trip

[tender mantle]

I heard there was a gou and ram shortage?

[hot shadow]

AND you have to do anti-thuddy stuff on the bottom so it's less yucky sounding

[odd talon]

I literally have to build it after my trip

[hot shadow]

like a foam thing or cursed duct tape method

[tender mantle]

Its not even that, I just wanna try different switches, but also have backlighting

Oh and not be a micro keyboard lol

[hot shadow]

rgb comes with pcb so we can't just stick it on

it's all either lights or no lights

even people who have to fix a broken rgb have to learn how to solder in a non terrible way

[tender mantle]

I know how, I just dont want to lol

[hot shadow]

yea nobody does

cause it's too grueling

i dont even know why my own sister bothered with soldering SWITCHES

she rly shouldve done hotswappable

your time n schedule is not that special, I've been all over the different timezones and have always found people

[somber meadow]

You were right. M is a performance preset, not suited for DLAA, K is still the one for that one. If you try to use preset M with DLAA, the foliage will flicker.

[pine thistle]

So a bot

Considering those existed in MMOs for ages, they probably exist for those kinda games too

[odd talon]

IGN reviewed a lot of adult toys at CES

[pine thistle]

Dare I ask how many of those involved the words "AI" in some shape or form?

[odd talon]

So far 0

[tender mantle]

a more advanced bot, but yes. once i can load of for any game, that learns how i play and more or less copies me

as an example, nvidia 'cloud gaming' lets you do 100 hours a month.

i blow through that in barely a week

working from home affords a lot of freedom lol

[pine thistle]

At that, point why not just use a trainer/cheat engine to give yourself that resource, that's basically universal

If you want it to farm for you while you're asleep or something

[tender mantle]

nah, im not trying to do cheesy shit like that

[pine thistle]

How is botting not the same thing :D

[tender mantle]

because i want it to be a player 2, im not trying to bot shit afk

a friend thatll listen when i say 'hey we need these materials' and not end up on a gilligans island tour coming back with nothing you asked for

[pine thistle]

Oh you mean while you're actively playing, gotcha

[tender mantle]

yes correct, a player 2 while im playing

not like ...play rust while i sleep lol

its not something id probably do online, but imagine being able to play, idk, ark NOT by yourself or with greifing randos

[pine thistle]

I can see the appeal I suppose, I misunderstood you initially ^^

[tender mantle]

yeah its a very niche request. i could probably build something out myself if i truly cared enough, but i have such disdain for this 'shove it in everything cause weve put too much money in to this for it to fail why is nobody using our slop generators!' that id rather ...just not

[hazy frost]

Or just make friends..

The appeal of playing with someone surely is that ur actually playing with a person otherwise why do u need player 2

[tender mantle]

are you willing to grind for 5 hours in diablo 4 on the same boss, then jump in to another game entirely for another 5 hours?

i do play with people, i do have friend i play with

but i also put in way more hours than they do

and its not their fault, i just have a lifestyle that allows me to fully enjoy gaming all day lol

[hazy frost]

Yeah but what’s the appeal of playing with a second person that isn’t real

If it’s just for the end result of two people making it easier yeah u might as well be cheating

AI isn’t going to fill the gap of having fun with a real person in games

[tender mantle]

i mean, the other option in the games im talking about would be to boost resource collection 2x or even 3x, which sucks the fun out of it for me

[hazy frost]

How does it suck the fun out as opposed to doing the exact same thing but with a fake person

Result is identical

[tender mantle]

its just how i play lol

it doesnt have to make sense, it just makes sense for me

[glossy ravine]

[hazy frost]

some of the responses a re funny

true

world class economics

[wraith agate]

the infrastructure is there but, it's more of a power demand is a concern, like the energy doesn't grow on trees

they either have to ramp up fossil fuel consumption to generate more power or start building nuclear power plants and considering even the french, the experts on nuclear power take years to build one reactor that is not something they can fix in short time

and yes renewables exist and they won't use it because AMERICA

[tender mantle]

Apparently the 3060 is being relaunched

[tender mantle]

The power demands are hilariously out of touch.

They need something like 10GW of power for what's 'planned', and best we can do is barely 4GW. Thats not even touching on energy options

This chatgpt crap is so wildly out of touch its insane how some of these tech bro belivers are still alive.

[sharp star]

damn

[sharp star]

people when they see the prices

[hazy frost]

It’s $200 more than the steam deck OLED but like.. bigger display, bigger battery processor is like twice as fast

I don’t think it’s much of a competition

Also just a better OLED display than the deck had

[sharp star]

true

[hazy frost]

Valve clearly aren’t gonna release a deck 2 anytime soon it doesn’t make any sense now more than ever

They’ve got native steamOS alternatives now

The detachable controllers is also cool tbh

Makes for a lot more comfortable positions to use it in imo

[sharp star]

wait, does SteamOS officially support the Legion Go 2 yet?

[hazy frost]

Well it comes with steamOS so I have to assume yes

[sharp star]

because if it does I might just eat the cost of the Windows license and install SteamOS right off the bat

[hazy frost]

They’re advertising it with steamOS mainly

Not windows

Presumably it’s supported

Not seen anyone do in depth review yet

[sharp star]

I wonder why

[hazy frost]

lol

I wonder what specs a gen 2 S version would have

If they dropped price and gave it the OLED screen still it would kill everything else

[sharp star]

apparently it does and existing users can install SteamOS

[hazy frost]

Nice

[sharp star]

so it’s a matter of wanting to eat the cost of the Windows license or not

[hazy frost]

Who the hell wants windows on a handheld lmao

[hazy frost]

Even with that it’s better value than anything else rn so who cares

9” OLED display but it’s got VRR and over 90hz is crazy

And 32gb 7500mt ram

Not 24 on the base model

The highest tier model I think has better specs than the previous best performing ones like the ally X for the same money too

They’re charging.. $200 more for an extra 1TB of storage tho

[sharp star]

not an issue for me then

I can just grab the base storage Z2E model and slap an existing one into it

[hazy frost]

Yeah $200 is crazy even with current prices lol

U don’t get more or faster ram with it

that's fine

pretty sure lol

just your processor turning on after being idle

[sharp star]

yeah it’s like

normal

CPUs downclock themselves or get put into low-power states to save power depending on the PC’s state

it will ramp back up

[sly walrus]

if you were at 100% energy the whole time, you'd be exhausted after like five minutes

computers is the same way

[severe stream]

It will overheat

And shutdown eventually

[hardy breach]

oooh gotcha

[sharp star]

CPUs will also downclock themselves when they're heating up to dangerous levels

I think people normally get concerned when they hit the mid-90s celsius, but the auto-shutdown gets triggered when it hits 105c

[severe stream]

Depends on form factor too

Laptop cpu generally goes to 90

[sharp star]

[hot shadow]

welcome to Hell

[hazy frost]

we knew it was coming

the 2 least competitive models with gddr7 cannot compete with AMD when they dont have as many supply issues

cant price a 5070ti against a 9070xt anymore even if they did want to continue supplying them

i dont think the 5070ti super is coming lol

or maybe thats why they killed ir off early knowing t hey cant do both

[sharp star]

oh sweet I got image retention on my monitor

[brave oxide]

friend wanted to go from 3080 to 5070 ti but got cold feet

and now he's fucked

[hazy frost]

just buy a 9070xt lol

not fucked

theyre $100 cheaper anyway

[brave oxide]

his old 580 traumatized him enough that it'd take some big effort for him to trust 9070

[lost python]

reading about meta closing down all their top VR game studios recently... its funny how meta is hurting meta, giving the steam frame even more reasons to be the preferred product

[hazy frost]

people like this are stupid tbh

u had issues with a thing 10 years ago so the new one must be bad

he'd have more issues with current nvidia drivers

[brave oxide]

you're right but logic wont apply there lol, he went from having nonstop issues for years with 580 to no issues ever with 3080

but ill drop the 9070 xt suggestion just in case he changes his mind

[hazy frost]

u can just tell him to look up 9070 driver issues vs 5070ti driver issues lmao

the results are telling

[real edge]

im still on 566.36

[lost python]

you can tell him that your trustworthy, legit, tech mentor friend has one and he doesnt have any issues

[real edge]

I do not buy brand new AAA games anymore so those drivers still work wonders

[hazy frost]

im on 572.83

newer ones were terrible

the latest one that worked for me is from last september still

[brave oxide]

im on the latest since I figured they did some extra work to get dlss 4.5 out

before that I was on some I think march 2024 drivers

[hazy frost]

i tried updating to try the newer stuff they added in soem games but then it just made me have issues with a load of others so i gave up

[real edge]

im not updating mine until I am assured that one of them is stable enough to update it to like 566.36 which is universally considered very stable

[grizzled hamlet]

Yay mint 22.3

[low fiber]

I do get their reasoning: what if those studios by accident generate some revenue out of the billions Meta burns each couple of months? That would be absurd! Better to stop them now

[sharp star]

Crazy

Why would Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook that runs a site that is called Facebook, do this

I hope I get to ditch my Quest 2 soon

[odd talon]

Steam Frame soon

Now which company willing to spend 800 billion to save them

[sharp star]

I have $3, some belly button lint, and a piece of string, and it's my best offer

[cold yacht]

Microsoft probably tbh

Largest single stake owner of open ai

[sharp star]

how is that $69 billion hole in their wallet from buying ActiBlizz helping them btw

[cold yacht]

According kotick Microsoft stupid for selling it fo 69 billion to him

[sharp star]

He could have said "Microsoft is stupid" and left it at that

[cold yacht]

Certified fleece

[severe stream]

Microslop will save it

And then lose momey

[warped siren]

COME ONNNNNNNNNNN

Investors pulling out ai gonna suck initially but better path than what we on rn

[severe stream]

Maybe a century later when ai can actually become intelligent

[cold yacht]

I remember someone tried to argue ai hate is just like calculator hate when introduced in schools

[spring raven]

cryptobros, mostly

[hot shadow]

yea it wasn't enough that midlife crisis before was just cheat on your wife and go buy a new car. crypto had to show up so all the later older millennials who are mid 40s dont have a gf at all so they have to socialize in a circlejerk metaverse, that's what happened

if you spent any amount of time talking to real nft bros you'd have seen that too unfortunately

[cold yacht]

Crypto zoomers are annoying

Combining crypto and pyramid schemes

[hot shadow]

oh for them they just got into crypto cause they were already social media poisoned and fomo'd into it, yea

cause they had no hope for the future already so they naturally saw it as side hustle or to claw their way out of w/e situation

i feel bad for them the most because that's where all the wallets also got drained

a lot of the crypto influencers are 30s people just scheming

many of whom were pretty women

nba crowd somehow got mixed up in all this, didn't help that a buncha famous people got into nfts

[cold yacht]

There’s like a overlap of gym bro culture, crypto, and entrepreneurs

Like a lot of guys who got nothing going on in their lives and just gym all day do a lucky gamble or crypto trade then build a brand off of that

Then sell the idea of that brand to other guys who got nothing going on like $300 a course

[hot shadow]

really makes you think how many people are just cringefully winging everything and finding success

and then getting a big fat ego over it

then they start a podcast with some other bros who did that too and then suddenly theyre all getting click money

I know this one guy who ended up becoming a meathead

Like in the worst possible way, everything about him screamed meathead

[weak harbor]

if I start to find it difficult to double weave at times can it be a sign of keyboard getting too old or just me that's tired?

[hot shadow]

should be neither, the gcd in that game is a million years

how old is your kb

Lemme delete that image cause turns out it’s not too confirmed

[severe flax]

Jesus fucking christ

[potent arrow]

did you see how expensive my ram kit is

[severe flax]

jesus

[potent arrow]

3x the price

[severe flax]

Oh yeah

Someone got mad at me cuz I called their PC with a 3060 and an i5 13400f entry level

Dude was looking for advice on what to upgrade; then we pretty much told him that his CPU is the main thing holding his PC back in modern gaming, because most games these days are CPU-bound

[potent arrow]

oof.

[severe flax]

He p much got mad, understandably so tho; DDR5 prices are crazy

upgrading your CPU from a DDR4 RAM CPU? mega oof

[potent arrow]

I mean

keep your ram
