That cpu isn’t the main thing holding him back in modern gaming unless it’s 720p tho

Anyways the dude made up his mind that a 5070 is gonna solve his stutter problems

Within his Intel platform?
A 13700k or 13900k already has 50-70% more L3 cache than a 13400f
Yes
severe flax
A 13700k or 13900k already has 50-70% more L3 cache than a 13400f

hazy frost
The x3d CPUs have more than that but they’re twice as much to upgrade to
The 13400has like 20mb and the 14700k has like 35 and 14900k has near 40mb
7800x3d and 9800x3d has 96 I think

Not too surprised, its like general electric making washing machines and the main gun for the A-10 :D

They both got stinky radomes and tbh the F-15E is literally just an F-14 but for looking at ground
potent arrow
Doesnt the f15 have better payload capacity
potent arrow
like it needs too
It was clunky but they literally had zero loses and a few hundred kills
dire viper
iirc there’s some pretty substantial aerodynamic changes and the airframe has a lot more drag so in any fight that is more than 2 turns it loses all its speed
potent arrow
shits goofy
dire viper
Yea one of my relatives was an F-15E wizzo during desert storm
potent arrow
and not to mention the 120 AMRAAM were BVR
so you wont even see what killed ya most of the time
dire viper
Yea I don’t think the F-15 has ever seen a true peer to peer conflict

Even comparable airframes were outdated blocks/modernization models
potent arrow
the EX can hold like 12 or more
dire viper

Fixes all the downsides of a true multi role platform and gives even more payload
It’s an F/A-18 if it was actually good
potent arrow
lol the F/1-18 is amazing whatcha talking about
dire viper
(I dislike the F-18)
potent arrow
the f-18 sucks
the super hornet
is sex
the western fist of the peaceful age
ya shit yourself you see a superhornet
dire viper
I dislike both of them mostly cause navy needed simplified planes and so vs an F-14 both F-18’s are just flying themselves
And the F-14 was very advanced ofc
potent arrow
f-14 was good but not practical
potent arrow
f/a-18 kinda just worked ™
dire viper
It’s just the F/A-18 is a genuine true multi role so it’s kinda stinky
It does everything alright
potent arrow
Which is what you need in this era
dire viper
Yea but it’s like cars, too perfect and it’s boring 😔
potent arrow
Blow up a village or two here and there and help troops is their MO. We arnt dog fighting anymore
dire viper
Just give me the Mirage III
potent arrow
its boring ill admit, just doesnt mean its bad
Ill even say I rather the super hornet then the f-35
I really dislike people treating the f-35 as multirole
it just aint
pine thistle
Isn't it's sole role eating up tons of money? /s
dire viper
The F-35 is actually very good
And the program was for a low cost multi role fighter and we instead got a very high cost multi role fighter that’s more orientated for air to air
However
It is still good at blowing up things on the ground because it is actually fresh and modern
Never ask the British about the A-10
Also it’s interesting how Lockheed got blamed for the ballooning of the F-35 when senior military staff just never told them to stop lol
They were told to just make the best plane possible and just kept getting more money so they did that
The test wing for them operates out of a base only 40 minutes from me so they do super sonic runs a few times a year over my house

It's like classic anti aliasing but with ai instead s
leaden galleon
Okay but "ai" is so broad it doesn't actually mean anything
Especially in today's "everyone get on the investment hype train and call everything ai and make everything ai sound like gen ai"
tepid gulch
Instead of using hardware based rendering to do anti aliasing it uses software instead so it's less taxing
And it looks better
leaden galleon
Okay but that still isn't exactly answering it
tepid gulch
What exactly do you wanna know about it
leaden galleon
Is it demon tech ai or fine ai?
tepid gulch
It's local only ai, it's not pulling from anywhere it's just smoothing the frames edges of things in the frames as they're rendered
So it's fine ai
tepid gulch
It's just smoothing images
Which previously was hardware
But now uses software
Dlaa looks better than the anti aliasing we've had
Since all that stuff is so old
leaden galleon
Well we will see if my game will run well with DLAA on

I mean there are other issues with generative ai than that, not all of which would apply to this but still

Other models that are locally run and don’t steal peoples stuff is fine

Hello, by any chance, someone already got this ?
It solve itself after a few minutes, but I tried to restart, unplug and plug back the HDMi cable, so actually I'm trying a new one
And the thing is that it doesn't happens everytime and only after I start the PC
sly walrus
yeah that's just the monitor being fucky
hot shadow
Hello, by any chance, someone already got this ?
your monitor is fucked
rich schooner
Oh thank god…
hot shadow
did it go away
rich schooner
I was scared in was the GPU
hot shadow
how old is your monitor
hot shadow
yea so i had something exactly like this with a monitor that was 6 years
and switching down to 60hz made it stop and it only happened on 144hz, it was dumb
i got rid of it
if that happens you can make it a 2nd monitor or just toss it
you can test if it's your gpu by plugging it into mobo and not gpu
if the lines persist then yea it's the monitor
rich schooner
I see
I’ll save for a new one
Now that I have a great PC, I’ll try a 4K monitor
rich schooner
you can test if it's your gpu by plugging it into mobo and not gpu
Mobo?
hot shadow
you dust your pc right?
rich schooner
It’s like 1-2 times per week
hot shadow
yea the lines are likely just your monitor acting up
rich schooner
I feel reassured
I’m scared that it was the GPU because I’ll need to remove it (part that scares me) package it (I didn’t keep the GPU box I think)
But heh we’re not 100% sure yet :3
Thanks for the help @hot shadow @sly walrus 
sly walrus
thankfully ai doesn't need the world's supply of monitors to function
rich schooner

I hate it so bad now
hot shadow
I feel reassured
I’m scared that it was the GPU because I’ll need to remove it (...
sooner or later you would have to do this
in the future for upgrade
its not as scary as you might think tho, it's usually lay pc flat on a surface, open case, unhook power cable(s) from the gpu, go get your screwdriver to loosen 2 screws usually, hit the latch on underside gently, yank that bitch up n out
store in a static-free sleeve in any box, preferably some soft leftover foam shit from whatever amazon addiction you may have
rich schooner
Well, I also see some people get fired and some fake video, it is scary
hot shadow

darling, 12 year old boys build pc from where i come from
it wont be that scary, promise
anybody with 2 hands and a half-working brain can do it if they're just slightly careful. That amount of care is "when you drink orange juice, don't spill it all over the place" level

I’ll call the aftersales service to see if I can exchange my GPU we never know

Idk why it doesn’t upgrade it automatically
hot shadow
it does if you get the auto detect software one
rich schooner
And I don’t really know how to do it manually
hot shadow
well you get the manual update by first knowing what your gpu is
so what gpu do you have?
rich schooner
RX9070XT
I download it on their website
And I just install?
Or I must remove properly the precedent and then install the new one?
hot shadow
so you dont have a nvidia card
is this your mistake rn
you have a amd card
yea you could use DDU software to scrub previous stuff
hot shadow
well i mean.. thats every company, you think amd is immune to ai evil?
hahahaaha

9070xt is just great for budget
rich schooner
As long they don’t change their priority
For my problem
I read on internet that it happens to some people and the screen is cold
Maybe I have a change ^^
hot shadow
that means your monitor is still fucked up
rich schooner
because sometimes it happens that when I want to turn my PC, I receive a really little shock lol
rich schooner
that means your monitor is still fucked up
I prefer this over the GPU
I would be scared to remove it and damage it more
hot shadow
so whoever is saying that is just coping cause they see it and are being cheap
well ofc but it doesnt change your reality
so i would hope it is the monitor first
besides if your gpu is fucked up then you cant damage it "more", you would just need to rip it out like a tumor
and buy a new one
rich schooner
I would too
But I don’t have a second monitor to try 😔
rich schooner
besides if your gpu is fucked up then you cant damage it "more", you would just ...
Tumor? The problem can spread? 
hot shadow
it can if you consider that if it has problems then it might catch on fire these days
rich schooner
I’m scared now 😔
hot shadow
so you are an impasse then, you need to find a way to test this monitor on another pc
or a laptop
or you even go buy a new monitor and just junk this old one
rich schooner
I can try with my brother computer
But since the problem isn’t systematic… I wonder
hot shadow
yes try to test
if you still see black lines then you will know that monitor is still fucked and it wasnt your pc
but you said it happens only sometimes so...
rich schooner
I told him we’ll try everyday after a long time without using the PC
And then, I’ll switch back on my PC after the test
And if it happens…
GPU is cooked
If I unplug the HDMi cable, I will have a short black screen, I could see it here too no?
hot shadow
cant say for sure because your problem is so intermittent and probably only happens under duress
the other test is swap your gpu into your brother's pc on purpose to see if he gets black lines artifacts but....
you said you are scared
if youre still having trouble tho you should probably call a pc repair shop for ideas

a while ago yea and their software is fine, pc side software uploads fine, phone app one is fine
only used it for seeing bpm, auto-detect of exercise is still shit, i dont recommend you follow that so maybe if you're actively using watch to track bpm during a session, you start it on purpose then end it. probably.

sleep quality meter also novelty, no watch does this that well, it's w/e

what game
i hope you're gonna say 'in general' and not just ff14
hot shadow
i think my question is why do you have to choose
also you're not gonna get really good framerate in town typically, it'll feel worse with 60fps cause it'll go down even more
rest of the game sure it can go up
1440p is people's usual sweetspot for affordability anyway
a lot of people prefer higher framerate then they turn on dlss too

4K is a meme
the only reason to get a 4K anything is a TV because that's all that's sold now

4k is amazing, anything less feels so bleh

1440 120fps or 4k 60 fps what do you think is better for this game?
if u can run the game in 4K its nice, but its hard to run any newer games at it if u play those too id much rather play at 120fps 1440p
at 27" 1440p vs 32" 4K i dont really notice the difference enough to care besides the scaling meaning u can fit more on screen

1440p 144hz+ is def the play

IPS is LCD which uses LED backlights
OLED controls each individual pixel being on or off tho yes

Yea so now instead of getting parts via Amazon you'll have to buy a damn 100$ controller to replace the broken ass/scratched up touch screen lmao

tbf nobody is fixing their first party controller anyways, the majority of people are buying new ones when they break
and they are already...90$....
hazy frost
Yeah but it’s much easier to fix a lot of what could be wrong and they’re generally gonna last longer than that new design would
It’s just an inferior design anyway? It’s for iPad kids
dire viper
Simply use a DS3
I still got my launch one
The sticks no longer function as analog inputs however

It’s just an inferior design anyway? It’s for iPad kids

for what tho lol, its gonna break sooner and cost more than add ons people make for disabilities already

jokes aside, touch screen controller is... a why moment for me
So you can assign buttons to whatever configuration works for you, it's supposed to adjust itself depending on the game and how you hold it
So you could put all the trigger inputs as face buttons if you can't hit the triggers normally

Or if you're missing a hand you can put the analog sticks closer together so you can control them with two fingers
latent plank
Familiar design for people who may lose their ability to press buttons due to a plethora of reasons is accessibility and the many other usecases.
It sucks to lose the ability to do things you used to be able to do.
I'd rather people be able to play games than not, it's hell being bored out of your mind.
sinful ruin
Honestly I think eventually touch screen buttons will be the next big thing
latent plank
Yeah, and it's not like they won't be able to also make physical tactile buttons either... that's sort of the thing about having multiple options, lol
sinful ruin
I don't think it's a good thing outside of this specific controller but I feel like it'll be the thing with the Dualsense 2
Or whatever they go with for the PS6 controller
sinful ruin
It's like how the Steam Controllers and Steam Deck have touchpads, it bridges the gap between a traditional controller and a mouse

I installed Bazzite. Currently installing a few games to see how higher end games like FF16 and Indie Jones run on it
If all goes well, I'm going to move pretty much all my stuff into it. Because again. Fuck MacroSlop and Its AI bullshit
(Outside like. FF14/Games that just dont work on Linux.)
A shame that windows/Linux dont share a file system
latent plank
NTFS can be read between them (don't use WINE or run programs in linux from them and don't mount your C:) so just make a separate partition for sharing.
It's very surprising how (just in general) people sleep on separate partitions.
sinful ruin
No you need to have two seperate HDDs for both because
glossy ravine
As it stands.
I have a 2 tb SSD/HDD for windows, and 1 tb and 500 GB via external ssd enclosure for Bazzite.
glossy ravine
So far. So good. Indie Jones is running really well
Only small issue is my Xbox controller will randomly Disconnect for a few seconds before reconnecting

It did drop to 40 fps, but thats more than playable. Now the real test.

I am aware it works on steam deck, its unofficially supported. Any major patch will break the game essentially on Linux afaik.
Does the keypad software work on it as well?

Even the vanilla launcher works under Proton.
Only thing that breaks every patch on linux is dalamud... which same with Windows so.
Just a reminder that the official MacOS version essentially runs on WINE as well.

Generally any game that doesn't run on Linux rn is one with an anti-cheat and even that's changing with the advent of the Steam Deck and similar hardware.
Not to say all games with anti-cheat don't run, mind.
If a game runs on Steam Deck it will run under any other Linux via Steam barring extreme edge-cases.

Just need to check your jbod to see what it wants
Let’s see, so depending on how many drives is the thing
eBay - look for chia related stuff, that’s the ticket to jbods, but they’re usually louder
The other answer is to just slap your hardware into a super micro storage box >.>
You can get a bare chassis with backplanes
Supermicro are the meme kings of this kind of stupid xD
The latter
Jbods are /loud/
Like, hear it through a couple walls loud
I’m legitimately afraid to turn mine on xD
Depends if they spool down or not
Not on a jbod box
Jbod boxes are dumb as dirt usually and are designed to keep the drives comfy as possible
To be completely real, I’d rather use a 4u supermicro box than a jbod xD
