[fervent field]

have never had DirectX errors before, only just straight up crashes

[potent arrow]

Nah direct x errors for FFXIV has existed for ages, if you poke around this channel it's mired by them

I do believe endwalker made them more common tho

[modest moss]

those 11000002 errors are among the worst to solve

ask 20 people and you'll get 6-7 different solutions and the rest couldn't fix it ever

[potent arrow]

I think it's because it's so circumstancial

Based on people's hardware etc

[modest moss]

yep, anything from overlays to drivers to audio enhancements to broken usb devices

[fervent field]

ye just personally I meant

[old jetty]

yo tech people, I need your help

it's something quite simple, but from my understanding, on a laptop with both an nvidia and intel graphic card, nvidia vsync won't work cause the screen is controlled by the intel integrated card?

[deep sapphire]

its called nvidia optimus

when the system is under load

the nvidia GPU will work as a co processor to the integrated GPU

but the main rendering device will always show up as the iGPU as thats whats used for video output

[deft sphinx]

maybe if I install ffxiv on linux it will work?

also if I have an HDD around, how do I make that one boot in linux? cuz I wanna install it and try to see if FFXIV still has that audio issue while it runs on linux

[old jetty]

Ah, saw it just now

In the end I 'solved' it using rivatuner scanline sync

Still don't understand how it works tbf

And if there is a way to remove for good the screen tearing I have

Either that or I fooled myself into thinking it works

I'm having sceen tearing on ff7 remake due to how bad the port is after switching to dx11 (which apparently deactivates vsync)

[plain jungle]

Yo ppl i use borderless window on 4k laptop and it was HD on xiv, 4k on system still(HD was clear too) and today it just adjust xiv resolution to 4k but idk why

when I turn this on it runs back to HD resolution with borderless option in xiv only(system rez is still 4k) but super blurry text (it was crystal clear before)

[sly elk]

lots and lots of reasons

[deep sapphire]

borderless window simply uses the native resolution of windows

if windows isnt set to 4K

borderless window isnt gonna be at 4K

[modern iris]

Alright so currently on my new laptop my screenshot button is fn + print screen

Which I don't think is condusive to if I have to take fast paced CS

Should I remap it to a easier button or

[potent arrow]

I use sharex and have it save photos automatically to a folder

and have the hotkey to a button on my keeb

works pretty well

[teal fable]

using lightshot and it works great

[modern iris]

I'm still suffering problems

I'm struggling with sharex too

Like I can't use the hotkeys

And I can't get it to capture inside the window and not the entire window

[modern iris]

okay so I've confirmed that my print screen key is mapped to Windows + Shift + S

how do I change that?

[paper tusk]

not sure since that combo is a system one. there's no setting to change it at least in win 11

[teal fable]

i had to go back to windows 10 because gamegaurd was having some funny errors with 11

[warm mesa]

I wonder if anyone has an idea how to fix my gshade isssue with the black screen

[teal fable]

i dont even know what a gshade is xD

[jaunty light]

Gamer shade

The new ultimate product from nvidia

[odd sand]

Fucking casuls. Guy thinks my 9900K is a "supercomputer that only 0.1% of people have"

When bitching about game performance.

[royal forge]

[royal forge]

I mean.. considering prices now

[odd sand]

He's just one of those people that unless you're running on a 10yo laptop you have a supercomputer

The 9600K was like half the price of the 9900K and fairly close in game perf

[royal forge]

How old is he

[jaunty light]

Woah stop flexing that 9900k bro thats a big number

Ultra gigacomputer. Bigger number than my 5900x!!

[modern iris]

It's Windows 10 for me

[teal fable]

8700k beast mode 😄

[modern iris]

I'm not sure how to use screenshot apps

And my keyboard seems in-built

So do I just considering mapping to a different keyboard

[teal fable]

lightshot overrides the screenshot button for fullscreen but u can also have shortcuts for partial screenshots etc

[modern iris]

How so?

[teal fable]

i dunno its just comes as standard

[fervent field]

sharex the best screenshotting tool hands down

[torn jungle]

How do i get back my one time password? (my phone cracked and died, so now i've got a new one...)

[potent arrow]

francisccooo ferdinannnddd

[royal forge]

When you registered for ur OTP, they gave u a long key for u to disable OTP in such a situation

[torn jungle]

i think i took a screenshot of that, and kept it on my old phone...

[modest moss]

so go look for the screenshot in either google photos or icloud or whatever it's called, depending on whether you had android or iphone

I'm assuming you backed pics up to the cloud

[torn jungle]

i did not...

i'm gonna send in one of these security token removals

[modest moss]

isn't that just for the authenticator?

[torn jungle]

yes?

[modest moss]

well gl, I hope they sort you

[royal forge]

I mean did you save it on an external storage i.e. a microSD of the device or..

If it's bootable, you can attempt a retrieval via a USB cable to ur pc

[lyric pond]

Thinking it might be time for a new mouse. My left button is becoming less and less responsive.

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire

[teal fable]

have a question, once my ram comes I want to be able to move all my files from my current hdd(it wont be going into my new build) onto the ssd(that will be going into my new build) will a external hdd work for this

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[deep sapphire]

yeah that would work fine

though you would be better off just cloning the drive

just put your old drive in with your new and clone the contents over

[teal fable]

like my c drive has steam but my e drive has the game files

[latent grotto]

?

did you buy ram or did you buy an ssd

[teal fable]

ram but i cant boot my new pc without it xD

[latent grotto]

you won't need an external if you're moving the contents of the hdd to a ssd

[teal fable]

but i dont want to wire the old hd into the new build

[latent grotto]

you can put it on an external if you want to but like hank said you could just clone it over to the ssd

[lyric pond]

Man, I wrote up basically a mini-guide and now it's useless :\

[late basalt]

Just hook up the ssd now and clone it

Then move the ssd

Using an external drive just adds more steps and time

‘Sides, why not use the hdd for longterm storage/backup?

[teal fable]

my m2s are sat under the gpu and after all the time spent putting it together i dont want to remove anything xD and ive no need for a hdd and its going to my wife along with my current pc

awkward i know but the headache i had to wire and put this together just seems easier to backup and restore

[sly elk]

i sat on that hx1000 so long they raised the price $30

gg.

[lyric pond]

New mouse! :)

[sly elk]

sweet!

[wide hill]

same mouse i have

it's helps me alot, frees up left hand, and stops me becoming a right hand clicker

[sly elk]

right hand clicker?

[frigid kiln]

should i use displayport or hdmi for gaming?

[modest moss]

short answer is dp

long answer it may not matter, depends on your resolution and refresh rate

[late basalt]

Does your new case have cradles for drives? Or just the shelf slots?

Because iirc, sata is going to be waaaaaaaasy faster than over usb or Ethernet for data transfer

🤔

Use the old pc to power the drive, but plug the data port into the new one long enough to pillage the data

[fervent field]

g600 best mmo mouse

[kindred brook]

@deep sapphire

[modest moss]

factual

[wide hill]

using my mouse to click on the abilities that is on my right side

[open hemlock]

the moral of the story is "There is never enough space"

You think 10TB is enough for a normal person, and I used to think 10 GB was enough for a normal person

[odd sand]

I think the situation is a lot different now though, since most people stream content/data rather than store it locally.

Used to be so excited thinking about BD writers coming down in price. When was the last time you knew anyone to even have an optical drive of any kind?

I have an 8TB HDD, but that's only bc I'm not a filthy casul that streams their anime /s

[sly elk]

I have a dvd drive and a pile of dvds from old shows i like 😄

for other things it's a hard value proposition to me

for music i generally agree. if you could almost buy a CD for the cost of a monthly streaming sub

at the end of the year you'd have like 10 CDs

honestly if I spent like $400 on CDs I'd probably have all of the music I listen to anyway

[modest moss]

hell, if you listen to music on a pc you don't really even need a sub

spotify free desktop has minimal ads and so much music

[modern iris]

My tv unfortunately broke so I had to hook my ps5 to my pc monitor but now I have no sound is there anyway to have my pc speakers hooked to my ps5 aswell

[odd sand]

If your monitor has audio pass-through

Or actually, in Windows you should be able to just set the audio input to be the monitor and connect the PS5 via HDMI

Or maybe I'm flipping it around in my head

[modern iris]

So my ps5 is connected to my monitor and my speakers are Bluetooth connected to a dongle on my pc

There’s some insignia speakers

[teal fable]

thats not a bad idea

[late basalt]

my current case has cradles that you attach the drives to, which then click into the case to secure them, so it's much easier to swap drives around as well as cord routing

and tbh, i wasnt joking about using it as backup too

[sly elk]

ok I wanna take this fucking unifi AP and use it as a frisbee

I think what happened is when I updated my UDM, it didn't update the AP

so then it refused to adopt the AP wirelessly because the AP is running old stuff

luckily I have a super long ethernet cable I can inconveniently run from the garage across my living room to a switch >>

[teal fable]

o.o

[sly elk]

6800xt and don't look back? 😄 but you could also luck out and get a 3080ti for similar

oh geez

what?! you're finding a 6800xt that cheap?!

oh hell yea I'd buy that and never think about it again haha

I dunno

afaik the 6900xt is slower than a 3080 in some things and faster in others?

still, for that price

keep in mind that a 3070 often goes for more than 800 USD

nevermind a 6800xt

the cheapest 6800xt on amazon is 1188

probably

unoless the return policyu is good

the 3090 is godzilla since it doesn't have LHR (as far as I know) and supports SLI and stuff

what kinda power supply and case and stuff do you have?

"year end clearance"

it has an 11700k and a 3080 lol

even if that particular 3080 is worth like $2500 on ebay

if that machine was like $2500 I'd have a hard time not buying it 😄

but so would everyone else

it';s so deliciously tacky

oh that would be most amusing

if they put an outline of zero two on the front they could sell it for $10k hahaha

ooo a white strix

which kinda cables are those?

lol

i like how all the strix cards look the same

like they used that same basic shroud on the $200 RX580 and GTX 1060 as well

I thought those started with 10 series

10 was style 1.0, 20 was style 2.0 🙂

i thought the 10 series looked best

the 20 series added a round ring to the fans

yea I was really disappointed when I first saw it, but it grew on me

although I'm still not in love with it haha

none of the 30 series really sits 100% with me xD

GCD?

i dunno what that is

asus did make a cool looking 1660

[odd sand]

My friend is getting into 3D printing, so maybe I can spec a custom shroud for my GPU

[teal fable]

3D printing looks cool

No idea how much the materials cost but I bet you could make some money doing custom:novelty stuff

[teal fable]

hm mine kinda has a backplate but the pins on the back of the gpu processor are showing...

[teal fable]

Can imagine dust is going to bed in there really well

[blazing summit]

Any recommendations for headphones that have a decent seal and good audio? they dont have to be a headset since i'll just get a standalone microphone
recently had mine break from usage after the leathers just ripped away revealing the foam

[blazing summit]

this honestly is my favourite graphics card aesthetic but just a shame the 30 series strix cards look so bulky now not that big a fan

my current card

[jaunty light]

Ya I liked the 10 and 20 strix

I think the new ones look ok but getting rid of the backplate ROG is a shamr

[blazing summit]

was debating on getting a 3090 but then saw a leak that a 3090ti was coming out

[hard drift]

.... don't get a 3090 ti please for the love of all that is good lol

[blazing summit]

not worth?

[hard drift]

no, the 3090 isn't even worth it

[blazing summit]

tbh i dont even know the differences

[hard drift]

especially given the msrp (not that it matters) is like 1500 for the 3090 base ti is going to be like 2k msrp for a 3% performance gain or some crap

not to mention the card will be like 450w your room will get toasty

[blazing summit]

oh yea..

forgot about the wattage

will have to upgrade my psu as well

[hard drift]

also do you even have space

the card will more than likely be atleast 3 slots

[blazing summit]

i'd say so yea

[potent arrow]

Ah so half the size of my case

[hard drift]

shush you tiny case user :p

[blazing summit]

about 1/3 of my case i think

[potent arrow]

More then 2/3 of my case lol

[blazing summit]

or 1/4

not sure i got a mid tower

[hard drift]

keep in mind i said atleast 3090s are already huge

[potent arrow]

I'll have to deshroud it and water cool it to even have a remote chance of it fitting

[blazing summit]

what gpu would you recommend going to from a 3070 for 4k gaming

[potent arrow]

My current gpu is baby for a reason

[hard drift]

this is the leaks and what they suggest

[blazing summit]

thats it??

[hard drift]

yes lmao

[blazing summit]

ok yea nvm

not worth

might as well should just be an overclocked 3090

[hard drift]

you have a 3070 already so 3080/3080ti or 6800/xt

but still why

[blazing summit]

4k gaming

and high refresh 1440p

[hard drift]

what are you trying to achieve at 4k?

it should do high 1440p already

[blazing summit]

i'm capped by vram at 1440p

if there was at least like a gb more with a 3070 i'd stick with that

but its entirely the vram, i would even get a 2080ti tbf with that vram amount

[hard drift]

if your concerns are vram aside from whatever allegiance/problems each side has 6800-6900xt/3080ti-3090 would be where you look

[blazing summit]

i dont have an allegiance really i saw a 6900xt at a pretty decent price as well

[hard drift]

keep in mind though, it may say "capped vram" but it typically isn't using that all

[blazing summit]

its mainly while in halo infinite i get glitchiness caused by vram and errors with vram in forza

just some games i play

but ff14 is probably going to be no difference 😛

[hard drift]

i mean halo has problems itself lol

[blazing summit]

oh

so it might not even be my setup?

[hard drift]

yeah, you're talking even on my 6900xt i get awful frames in halo at 4k even on lowest

very inconsistent

[teal fable]

i stuck with a 3080ti i could of got a 3090 but yeah

[blazing summit]

i just get weird flickering and frame drops consistently

[potent arrow]

Halo at 1440p wrecks my gpu lol

[latent grotto]

Yea halo infinite isnt optimized

[potent arrow]

That's just halo

[blazing summit]

ah right

[potent arrow]

The latest update fucking oinked lol

[modest moss]

I vote you just enjoy your 3070 and wait for a 4080 or something

[hard drift]

halo is actually awful same with new world, the games seem to run better on some lower gpus than 6900xt/3090

[modest moss]

unless you're actually rich

[potent arrow]

Hi shuuueee

[modest moss]

hi <3

[potent arrow]

Sssshueeeeeee!!!!

[hard drift]

you mean 4060 4080 is going to be like 600w 😭

[potent arrow]

Did you have a good christmas

[blazing summit]

i'm not rich but i've got enough to comfortably be able to upgrade and stuff

[potent arrow]

I'm probably gonna buy a 4080/4090 out the gate and upgrade my CPU to a 5900x

[blazing summit]

without it affecting major important stuff

[teal fable]

im not upgrading again for 10 years xD

[hard drift]

you'll need a psu upgrade more than likely for next gen unless you have 1k+

[modest moss]

I did thanks, you?

[potent arrow]

I did!

Kinda! But I did!

[modest moss]

sweet

[blazing summit]

but yea i got a 3070 with a 5600x which i think is pretty powerful since i dont see the point in going higher for cpu, unless multithreaded cpu's are starting to be utilised?

[potent arrow]

I have a 1200w sff ready to go

I'll be fineeeee

[teal fable]

;p

[blazing summit]

i got an evga 600w

[potent arrow]

I'm more worried about cooling the entire thing

[blazing summit]

you got double mine xD

[hard drift]

do not even think about upgrading to a 3090 then

[jaunty light]

May I suggest 3m novec

[teal fable]

isnt 3090 a recommended 750w?

[blazing summit]

yea i know, i saw earlier you mentioned 300-400 watts and i was like i need a better psu

[hard drift]

no

[blazing summit]

or thats going to pop in a second

[potent arrow]

I unironically thought about how hard using proper refrigerant would be

[hard drift]

the base model is but partners aren't

[jaunty light]

I hold out hope to get an FE 3090 still, because paying $2k for a tuf 3080 ti is

[potent arrow]

I do not believe that a FE card anything still exists

[hard drift]

especially not with them locking them down to specific retailers

[potent arrow]

This is why god stays in heaven

One of these cards is like the price of my pc

[blazing summit]

an average 3080ti price

few hundred over msrp

[potent arrow]

This is like

Alot over lol

Like a grand over

3080ti msrp is like...1500$ cad

[hard drift]

lmao a "used like new" 3090 is 3k

[jaunty light]

BB still gets them but thats the only

[blazing summit]

about 1400 to 1500 i just picked one that was quite "cheap" compared to others i guess

[hard drift]

it's the only one because nvidia is stupid

[potent arrow]

I feel like imma get shot for trying to get one at best buy

Lots of vultures around there

[jaunty light]

$3200 for a 3090 strix tho, miss me

[hard drift]

it's online only atleast

[hard drift]

that's just strix tax 🤷‍♂️

[blazing summit]

like 2 grand for a strix variant

[potent arrow]

That's even worse, imma get sniped by some Russian card scalper

[hard drift]

lmao

[jaunty light]

1800, shouldve just bought on release

[blazing summit]

also i didnt dox myself i'm on a vpn so i should be guchi

hopefully..

[hard drift]

i mean you're never safe when you're online

[hard drift]

[jaunty light]

Gentlemen... CORN

[blazing summit]

so is the ice cream shaped like corn? or corn flavour as well

[jaunty light]

Ice corns

[hard drift]

it's a corn rice cake

atleast according to the picture near the bottom

[potent arrow]

It's sweet corn flavored ice cream sandwich

[hard drift]

you get 5 for 7 dollars

[blazing summit]

oh didnt see that part

bargain!

[potent arrow]

Fish

[blazing summit]

where are you?

[potent arrow]

Narnia

[hard drift]

is that an asian market?

[blazing summit]

that has corn ice cream sandwiches and fish near what looks to be an alcohol aisle i could be completely wrong but thats how i see it

[potent arrow]

Stfu bidori no doxing

[hard drift]

lmao

not my fault i've been to too many

[potent arrow]

Asian supermarkets are cursed

[jaunty light]

Buy some soju

[hard drift]

i love going to them

it's where i get my prawn crackers

[potent arrow]

They sell panties in the same aisle as rice cookers and cooking implements

[jaunty light]

[hard drift]

[blazing summit]

[jaunty light]

I don't know about you, but usually when I need a new rice cooker I need new panties too!

[potent arrow]

Can you cook your underwear in a rice cooker?

[teal fable]

yes

[potent arrow]

Like think hot towels

But underwear

[hard drift]

[potent arrow]

the future is now

We have the technology

[hard drift]

https://tenor.com/MEHQ.gif

[jaunty light]

I throw my clothes in the dryer before wearing them in winter months

Nothin better than warm undies on a cold winter morning

[potent arrow]

[blazing summit]

so a rice cooker and a dryer are similar?

[jaunty light]

Yes

[potent arrow]

Idk

One way to find out ig

[jaunty light]

However the best tool is a convection oven, crisp up those clothes

[blazing summit]

that sounds like a housefire waiting to happen

or charred clothing

If I have physical access to a router, can I access it with an admin password?

Got a TP link router at my place

Fucking thing sucks ass and i think they disabled the 5Ghz wifi

So i'd like to open it up and tweak things

But since I do not have access via wifi, i was wondering if I connected directly, I'll be able to get in

Wifi works on my hp but not on my laptop

[modern iris]

Typically they don’t change the admin password and it’s set to a default

Looks like admin:admin possibly

[potent arrow]

Yes

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/press-release/biostar-releases-a320mh-motherboard-bios-with-amd-ryzen-5000-support why is this a thing...

i can't imagine how much that board bottlenecks a 5000 cpu

[potent arrow]

@royal forge if you have physical access, on the back will be a reset hole

Hold it till it resets

Use the default password over eth

And reconfigure the router

[potent arrow]

I'm wearing safety glasses!

[jaunty light]

[hard drift]

that's expensive for a 3080ti

[dreamy chasm]

Depends on VRM cooling

But, honestly

As long as you don't go for a crazy amount of cores, I can see it working stock

[hard drift]

i mean the A chipset is budget of budget

not to mention they gave it up to 5800x support

[dreamy chasm]

vrms matter the most for performance

[hard drift]

they removed it already

[dreamy chasm]

People have documented 3950xs running on a320 boards without much performance loss after proper VRM cooling

But yeah

It's probably pushback from amd

[hard drift]

wouldn't surprise me

dual channel and the max is 32gb total also max speed of 2933

[dreamy chasm]

32s plenty for a lot of people

Speed is a concern, however

[hard drift]

especially for 5000

this board has 2 fan connectors....

[potent arrow]

Bidori eats SOCKS

[hard drift]

wtf no

1 cpu and 1 chassis fan connector

this board there has to be better in that price range lol

[dreamy chasm]

Wouldn't surprise me if you could overclock ram on that board to 3200 though

Mem controllers on the cpu

[hard drift]

it says can't even overclock so idk

[dreamy chasm]

Ah.

I forgot about those boards having that restriction, rofl

[hard drift]

not to mention only 24 usable lanes for the board so you're getting pretty much just gpu and an nvme

[dreamy chasm]

Meh

It'd be a tradeoff I'd be willing to contend with if money was tight

[hard drift]

that board is awful.... you can get a b450 board for about 70 dollars

[dreamy chasm]

Pricing isn't as generous in other regions, unfortunately

[hard drift]

true

[dreamy chasm]

Sometimes an a320 is all one can get for a build, and they end up buying upgrades later on if finances allow

You really should get a B450 if the price isn't far off, though

[jaunty light]

https://www.antonline.com/Evga/Computers/Video_Cards/Graphic_Cards/1440986

[dreamy chasm]

Just a better platform

[jaunty light]

Incase anyone wants a 3080ti...

[hard drift]

yeah plus no memory overclocking limits like the A series

[jaunty light]

Except it's a bundle.. and EVGA... and $2k

[hard drift]

atleast i could get at minimum 3200

[hard drift]

i mean that price is pretty good for the bundle

[dreamy chasm]

I wish I had 2k to throw away

[hard drift]

don't we all 😔

[jaunty light]

I'd probably just pay 2100 for a tuf 3080 ti to avoid the inevitable exploding EVGA

[hard drift]

i mean it doesn't explode usually

[dreamy chasm]

evga has good enough rma policy that its fine

Though, it might be a bit difficult to get a replacement in this climate, I guess

I hope eth crashes so we don't have to worry about this

[teal fable]

i paid more than that ;/

[jaunty light]

Dont even see the point of buying asus 3080 ti, the 3090 is like $100-200 more for tuf and strix

At ""msrp"" anyways...

[teal fable]

"msrp"

[jaunty light]

Manufacturer's scalped retail pricing

[teal fable]

umhum

[dreamy chasm]

less vram that could go bad

[odd sand]

So like ~$1600 for the 3080ti I guess if you tease out the extras. Not the worst offer I've seen. We'll have to see how Intel's upcoming GPUs affect prices.

Unfortunately they're also being produced by TSMC, so they may just be at the expense of existing GPU production

if you're completely saturating the bus with your stupid SSD where does the sensor data go in the queue?

[jaunty light]

1000ms input lag

that reminds me, I should budget in a pair of 1440/144 monitors for next year

[odd sand]

So much clutter

[umbral moss]

🤔

that's clutter?

sorry mr swedish minimalism

too posh to even have a mouse on the desk

[odd sand]

I don't even have a keyboard, it's just one of those laser projections and I tap my fingers onto the desk

[umbral moss]

peasant, using your fingers

imagine having anything on your desk

instead of having the images transmitted directly to your visual cortex and interacting with the computer with your brain

[odd sand]

My friend bought a Moonlander recently, and I joked with him when he moves into his new office, he should forgo a desk and just have those mounted on stands in the middle of the room and wear a VR headset for a monitor.

They have mount points on the bottom for camera/mic stands

[teal fable]

Damn keep getting emails about holiday sales from the company I pre ordered my ram from

[odd sand]

Someone didn't uncheck the box to receive marketing mails. Also you can just click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email you know...

[teal fable]

Hmmmm

[potent arrow]

this is clean, I just do work at my desk so It ends up like this

[sly elk]

I have seen someone mount a split keyboard that way

dude had really bad wrist problems so they set it up so that they could stand between the halves of the keyboard with their arms hanging down and type

[teal fable]

I honestly thought that table was quite clean xD

[sly elk]

I thought long and hard about getting a moonlander but bought a dygma raise instead

[teal fable]

ill probably seek a better keyboard in the future and mouse

[odd sand]

I need a new keyboard, my Ducky is long in the tooth. From 2014 and I think I've shown how it looks like shit here last week lol

[sly elk]

as for evga

if I had joined here sooner i would've stuck with my 3070 ok? 😄

those queue emails were too tempting

ooo and now I remember why I didn't buy the moonlander. there were several reasons but the real deal killer is that apparently it kinda sucks if you don't have big hands

at least if you try to tent it, like in that picture

[dreamy chasm]

Might be doable on 3.2

Depends on how fast the ssd is I suppose

[sly elk]

FULL ASUS BUILD

[narrow juniper]

Those cables clean 😳

[sly elk]

surprised ya didn't go with asus fans

[narrow juniper]

Mine look like world War 67

[sly elk]

lian-li strimer cables?

[teal fable]

Yah

And I liked the lian li fans to much xD

[teal fable]

I wanted to improve on the aesthetics on my current build

[sly elk]

oh it looks great

[teal fable]

Which also look like world war 67

[narrow juniper]

Mine is worse 😔

[teal fable]

What could be worse than this 😆

[untold onyx]

wait, how old is that rig if it's using Molex?

[teal fable]

Playing some classic

[untold onyx]

It's funny how the remake doesn't make Barret's rants seem any less unhinged.

[teal fable]

Not to old the psu was shit and that is a molex to pcie

Barrets great in the remake lol

[sly elk]

that does appear to be molex to pcie o_O

as for molex, eh

I'm still not a huge fan of how fans and accessories today use sata

but the 4 pin molex is a terrible connector

anyone else ever have those get seized up on them?

[potent arrow]

YIKES

[teal fable]

Seize up ? I’ve had them where they push the pins out lol

[sly elk]

I had trouble a few times trying to get a molex power connector off a hard drive

[teal fable]

Yeah lol oh god

Other than the dodgy wiring this one hasn’t done me to bad

8700k godlike msi and a 2060

And the m2 ssd at 3 figure speeds lol

beast 😄

[hard drift]

that's pretty expensive

[teal fable]

I bought that years ago haha

[hard drift]

ah okay

[modest moss]

it's like £34 now, but the 1tb is £67

[dreamy chasm]

Man

1tb ssds are 120 usd here, lol

[jaunty light]

They smoking extra strong crack

[hard drift]

i thought that said 1.4k and was thinking "man i wish i could" but then i double checked it and.... yeah

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

I like the design of MSI's 30 suprim

but not the price!

lol I remember back in like jan/feb they were a bit of a newegg meme

because whenever newegg had a drop they'd sit for HOURS

[jaunty light]

Hard to gauge msi

So few cards i dunno who's even done teardowns

[sly elk]

aye lol

[jaunty light]

Dont think ive seen anyone do a zotac but we all know theyd get massacred, just like with their 10 and 20 cards

[sly elk]

lol 😄

I really liked my 1070ti amp extreme

of all the cards I've owned, it was by far the most reliable

it was also the largest

[jaunty light]

I think it was the 1080 amp xt that was ranked like bottom bin even below PNY

[sly elk]

asus and gigabyte were tied for reliability, with the gigabyte being built a lot better

[jaunty light]

Terrible design, cooling sucked, VRMs were like 30 or 40c more than the next card

[sly elk]

I'm not trying to get a rise out of you 😄

I had a strix 1070, it was beautiful

but it sagged like nobody's business if you didn't support it

the 3070 vision I had was like a rock

no flex whatsoever, but it was also tiny

[jaunty light]

My 1080 ti sagged, 2080 ti doesn't (yet)

[sly elk]

the build quality was really surprisingly nice

[jaunty light]

Functionally the same backplate design tho but the 2080 is much heavier

[sly elk]

aye, it did have more structure too

so they probably fixed the sag issue 🙂

the only 30 series cards I've touched are the gigabyte vision 3070 and the evga 3080ti ftw3 😄

I adore the ftw3's rgb strip and really like evga's software

but I'm concerned my card is defective 😄

[jaunty light]

I'mma avoid GB

[dreamy chasm]

Don't have to deal with sag if you have a toaster for a case

[jaunty light]

Evga is ? Bad QC for ages so I don't trust em

[sly elk]

yea I don't trust evga either

I've felt that way for years

like 90% of the time someone posted a dead gpu on /r/pcmr, it was an evga

[jaunty light]

Every time a new gen comes out, it's evga on the forums for failure rate

[sly elk]

and then everyone in the comments would be like "evga support is awesome!!!"

[jaunty light]

cards popping fuses? Evga...

[sly elk]

because everyone has a story about an RMA

[jaunty light]

Random soldering defect?

[sly elk]

lol

but beyond that, ierno

evga scores points for the queue

[jaunty light]

As much as we all like to make fun of zotac and pny, they dont have an army of "i owned a gtx 960 once" posters

[sly elk]

and again, their software is pretty neat >>

I will give evga a (very small) pass for actually having a large presence in the US instead of being yet another .com.tw firm that has a poorly translated website

[dreamy chasm]

you have to take into account that evga is pretty popular

So they'll eventually have higher purchase rates, and eventually rma rates

I think.

[sly elk]

that's my stance for why I mostly buy corsair stuff and have evga stuff too, anyway

half the reason I dumped my gigabyte was fear of ever having to deal with their CS

I've heard zotac and gigabyte are the worst

[jaunty light]

Part of the problem is the nerd shit nobody cares about. The strix is much closer to a kingpin or HOF than it is any other 'high end' 3090 out there

[sly elk]

I forgot which

but one has a reputation for claiming they never received the GPU

or at least, received an empty box

[jaunty light]

God forbid people are buying those bottom bin gigabytes for scalped prices when the FEs are better

[paper tusk]

so far my zotac 1060 hasn't exploded yet (*because I would be a very sad panda at the prospect of replacing it with anything because of cost of new)

[sly elk]

lol you buy a gigabyte vision because you couldn't get a white strix 😄

also

[jaunty light]

Zotac is supermicro so yeah

[sly elk]

I'm not exactly confident in asus' CS

from what I've heard it's a case of "asus is great unless you have a problem"

[jaunty light]

I've never had to deal with GB cs, motherboards were always rock solid

[sly elk]

gigabyte boards are a staple of hackintosh users everywhere

lol I kinda suspect the vision was made specifically for hackintoshers

[jaunty light]

However I've dealt with many tw companies and it is a PITA. service centers in ??? Land, unhelpful responses, etc.

Turtlebeach was the most pleasant.

[dreamy chasm]

Too bad tb has shit peripherals

[sly elk]

hmm

[jaunty light]

Except I had to send my roccat all the way to taiwan, but they paid ship

[sly elk]

I remember when logitech had legendary CS

like their peripherals came with 5 year warranties

[dreamy chasm]

I just bought steelseries

When they used to be a no bs no frills brand

[odd sand]

I got the 3080 I did and figured I would upgrade to a FTW3 or 3080ti, but then the market went crazy, so I'm just happy I got the one I did heh

[dreamy chasm]

I miss my kana v2.

[sly elk]

-looks at his card-

nah I definitely should rma it next year

one of the fans makes noise 😄

[dreamy chasm]

I'm on a 1660 rn

Better than nothing

[sly elk]

which is apparently a very common problem with evga cards

[dreamy chasm]

All I play is ff anyhow

[odd sand]

I had a 1660ti before that which was still a decent card

The universe is telling you to put a waterblock on it

[dreamy chasm]

I do need to replace my riser, though

Shits causing restarts if I don't have my games frame capped, lol

[sly elk]

amazon

[dreamy chasm]

For sure

[odd sand]

I don't see why anyone wouldn't global FPS cap in the nvidia control panel tho

[sly elk]

amazon fresh out of stock >>

[odd sand]

Given the stories of menus in certain games not being coded properly and melting VRMs

[dreamy chasm]

Different caps for different games

[sly elk]

lol

[dreamy chasm]

That's gpu manufac issue

[sly elk]

nonononono

I agree with spirit here

that's some garbage engineering

[odd sand]

Yes, you can further cap the FPS, but like if your monitor is 120 or 240hz, that should be your global cap

[dreamy chasm]

They were confirmed to be defects

[sly elk]

that said, at this point

[dreamy chasm]

No amount of load should bust a card given its built right

[sly elk]

I'd expect most of the 30 series are being sold defective 😄

[odd sand]

Lemme put it this way: Do you want to tempt fate and wait weeks or months for an RMA?

[sly elk]

in 10 years we'll probably look back on anything made in 2020/2021 like the way we look at things made in the early-mid-2000s - capacitor plague haha

[odd sand]

Even if it's engineered better, taking the voltages to the extreme will add stress/wear out the card faster

pop pop pop poppin caps like poppin chaps

[sly elk]

that was a good idea though

i just set my max to 144fps ^^

[odd sand]

I had my computer hard reset a few times, but I couldn't tell if it was the PSU or the GPU that caused it. I think it was the PSU though, but it's only the one game that ever happened in so I just stopped playing that game lol

[sly elk]

weird

yea mine just crashes randomly when I'm not even pushing it 😄

[kindred brook]

ugh might be cheaper route to do 5950x

• mobo

because right now 12900k is expensive

mobo is premium

and memory is premium

[sly elk]

one thing I heard that I guess I could suggest, is ebay for motherboards lol

people trying to sell them from bundles

[kindred brook]

wait what

like the new intel ones?

[sly elk]

buuut

I don't think it's worth it

[kindred brook]

dood those new boards

[sly elk]

I mean

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666744-REG/asus_prime_z690_p_d4_lga1700.html

[kindred brook]

that come with basic features

[sly elk]

$219 and it has ddr4

[kindred brook]

are like stupid expensive

[sly elk]

i figured if i was going to do this, i'd want the z690-a d4 though

[kindred brook]

that doesn't even have the little LED error code

in the upper right

[sly elk]

i know huh?

[kindred brook]

and its 220

[sly elk]

afaik none of the ddr4 boards have it

which is bs

[kindred brook]

WHAT!

thats like

the only feature

I use on a feature board lol

[sly elk]

lol

same i guess

[jaunty light]

Gimmie the power buttons and status code

[odd sand]

Why are the Z690 so expensive? Wasn't the Z490 or 590 only like $125 for the same tier of board?

[sly elk]

si!

[teal fable]

:.;

I paid 520 for my board

[untold onyx]

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

[odd sand]

We already went over that Kratos =P

Generally speaking, your basic decent quality boards are around $125, and reasonable feature boards are $175-200

The ones above that get into overclocker shit that 99% of ppl don't use or need

Unless they're specialty chipsets like X399

[sly elk]

yea i'm a sucker for the diagnostic code display

[teal fable]

Shit that’s my board lol

[sly elk]

need an rgb fire extinguisher

[odd sand]

Capacitors roasting... on an open fire...

[untold onyx]

I had this video playing just as I saw the posts about the Z690 here and I just had to post it.

[jaunty light]

Sadly this aint the case anymore

Going from z270 to now, my same board would probably be around 500-600

[royal forge]

Would rather not leave evidence i tinkered around

[teal fable]

Haha yeah I’m scared now

[late basalt]

It’s not evidence if there’s no one to see it

[teal fable]

I’ll keep an eye on jays posts I like him he’s easy on the eyes and ears

Not like Linus

[odd sand]

Look at all that bling https://www.newegg.com/p/1JW-000C-00ZM3

[jaunty light]

Z690 equiv of my z270 is 3x more expensive

[teal fable]

Bling but then drivers are on a dvd

[odd sand]

Do they still do that? I can't imagine anyone building a system today would still have an optical drive

I'd assume they either told you to go online, or for $600, include a cheap USB stick

[jaunty light]

The z690 ver of my AMD mobo is 800

[teal fable]

Yeah haha

I think the z690 version of my current motherboard has to be bought as a bundle and u have to have registered previous products with them

[odd sand]

I assume it's part of the same silicon shortage issues. Everything is like double price atm

The only issue is once companies can justify charging a lot more, they rarely drop the prices back down to previous levels afterwards.

[odd sand]

So the 125 boards are 250 and the 300 boards are 600. How much you want to bet they only drop back down to 450 in another 1-2 years.

That means it's still like $1200-1400 for the board...

[teal fable]

Yeah hahah

Insane

[deep sapphire]

D-DELETE THIS

here you guys go old pic

lel

[teal fable]

🙂

[sly elk]

it looks like it's on fire 😄

this was my last rig

[jaunty light]

cant believe u bridged them with an asus

[sly elk]

prolly has an asus board in that pic

didn't the SLI bridge usually come with the board

[umbral moss]

with how much stuff is baked into the CPU these days, what does the board even do anymore

it's just a dumb piece of PCB with ram dimms on it

all the voltage regulation and memory stuff is done on-die now

[odd sand]

I should see how much raw LED panels cost. Thought about mounting one of those in the glass side panel of the case

Put silly ascii art and shit on it

[sly elk]

the tricky part edd, is you could get a cheap one and buy cards for the stuff you want, but a lot of boards only have a few card slots and then there's the pcie lane allocation stuff

and I strongly dislike buying usb external stuff when I have a giant tower

[spare zephyr]

hi everyone!

[sly elk]

hiiii

[spare zephyr]

im kind of running into a problem right now in ffxiv where during combat (and rarely outside of it)

there are occasional stutters that affect audio and framerate

and can tend to kick up when unplugging or replugging the laptop (leading me to believe its either the power or the CPU is being throttled)

i found a video with what it sounds like in game (though its not as intense)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVDG5YSDA9o

and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

I checked my power settings and bumped up my minimum and maximum processor state, that didnt seem to do much

fullscreen optimization is also disabled, and it started since i downloaded the most recent patch i think

[umbral moss]

I mean, PCIe allocation is also CPU limited because the multiplexer chips that board manufacturers try to use to game the number of "available" lanes suck

and the CPU can still only handle so many at a time anyway so the "extra" lanes are useless or bandwidth limited

[sly elk]

true

[spare zephyr]

wait thats just in general outside of ffxiv?

i mean im not experienced much of ffxiv problems cuz i started about a week ago

OOOOH, okay

wait if you launch chrome

hmm...

question

whats your CPU

is it AMD?

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire

[deep sapphire]

hahaha

[untold onyx]

... A valid argument for banning tiktok.

[potent arrow]

I kinda want to try this...

The slide

LOL

Honestly wouldn't be the first time I've been kicked out of a costco

[modest moss]

probably hardly anyone?

[sly elk]

LOL

I'm not sure what they expected

[teal fable]

lmao

[sly elk]

just taking a second to share how clean this PSU looks

so clean

nice mesh instead of some grotesque stamped fan grille

yet somehow a $400 PSU has only 4 pcie connectors. the fuck?!

oh "10 x PCIe Connectors"

so... they use combo cables?!

[teal fable]

that looks nice

my psu has combo cables

[sly elk]

it's actually $400 >>

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

even the power connector and stuff is super refined looking

[deep sapphire]

stop I can only get so horny

[sly elk]

and all of the cables are individually sleeved, but admittedly, you can get that from a few other PSUs as well

(ROG thor and the white strix 850g)

[deep sapphire]

this thing legit costs 400 dollars?

kek

[sly elk]

there was a white RM850x that also had white braided cables

yep 😦

[deep sapphire]

and its not even 1500w

[sly elk]

it's a 1200w 80+ titanium though

[deep sapphire]

🥱

[sly elk]

they DO have a 1500w version

[deep sapphire]

for 600

no idea tbh but

[sly elk]

that one's $449

[deep sapphire]

oh thats not too bad I would just get that at that point lol

I mean not that you'd ever need 1500w

[sly elk]

lol if you're going to spend $400 might as well spend the extra $40

[deep sapphire]

but at that price point might as well

[sly elk]

what the hell would anyone do with 1500w anyway

[deep sapphire]

quad SLI

[sly elk]

1000w is already enough to run 2 3090s

[deep sapphire]

😎

[sly elk]

LOL

[hard drift]

dual cpu motherboards + quad sli

[sly elk]

so the one I was thinking of is it's smaller cousin, the dark power 12 1000w.. that one's $279 and looks almost the same

[deep sapphire]

calm down bidori

[sly elk]

sadly it doesn't hvae the individually sleeved cables ;_;

[deep sapphire]

god that is a sexy PSU

just buy it

[hard drift]

what all the power

[deep sapphire]

you make 300K a year anyway

[sly elk]

the unit is still pretty good looking

i don't make 300k ;_; I wish

[deep sapphire]

it uses DARK POWER

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

okay fine 250

hi bidori

[hard drift]

hi 🤨

[deep sapphire]

this is a nice emote I like using it for all contextual manners

I guess it's not an upgrade then, is it.

[hard drift]

[wide hill]

there gotta be more info about it

at which features that isn't supported

it's probably even something so mundane, that you don't even know about

[hard drift]

cortana

[latent grotto]

[wide hill]

for multiscreen that is

[latent grotto]

[hard drift]

i display my time with wallpaper engine anyways

[sly elk]

in the toms hardware review they even point it out

[hard drift]

[sly elk]

they sent a friggin review unit out with a crooked heatsink

[latent grotto]

its part of the design

[hard drift]

it's a feature not a flaw

allows airflow to go across the components better duh

[sly elk]

Holy shit

[hard drift]

i mean they're not wrong lmfao

[deep sapphire]

Hell most gamers don’t even get a decent chair

[sly elk]

though, I buy new tshirts pretty often...

[deep sapphire]

They’ll throw 3 grand into a rig and use some shitty 50 dollar Office Depot chair

[hard drift]

i need to upgrade mine 😔 or atleast modify it

[deep sapphire]

Get a mesh chair I’m serious

Life changing

No more swamp ass

[hard drift]

i don't like mesh chairs

i don't get swamp ass anyways lol

[deep sapphire]

Whhhhat

I love mine

[hard drift]

i used one while i was working for about a year and hated it

i would go to another office and swap chairs because i disliked it so much

[deep sapphire]

That bad eh

[hard drift]

yeah

[deep sapphire]

Maybe it was shitty or something I dunno mine is comfortable as fuck

[hard drift]

it isn't good for the way i sit lol

[sly elk]

I didn't wear any of my shirts from work for a long time because I hated going in the office wearing them, and then wearing the same shirt as like 10 other people

[hard drift]

nah it was really good, just not my style

[sly elk]

but now that I work from home, it doesn't matter

(in fact i'm wearing a shirt I got from work a few months ago)

it's a silly matrix theme one

[deep sapphire]

It’s almost 11 take that shirt off

[sly elk]

i have this week off XD

[hard drift]

i am still wearing a shirt and a sweater 😔

[sly elk]

my boss tops the absurdity thing imho

[deep sapphire]

I walk around in my underwear

[sly elk]

he's worn old polo shirts from his old company into the office before

then again Iv'e seen other people do that a few times

[hard drift]

https://soyacincau.com/2021/12/28/adata-xpg-vault-gaming-mouse-1tb-ssd-in-it-because-why-not/ bruh.... why is this a thing that someone thought to do smh

[teal fable]

playing the long game, unwillingly

[sly elk]

oh i don't disagree

that's kinda ridiculous

especially if the dude shows up every day

[languid sequoia]

This is me, wearing my unreal shirt I got for free from GDC a few years back and sitting on my HM embody right now 💀

[dreamy chasm]

Why replace shirt if shirt work

[sly elk]

me too though XD

although I got this shirt from work a few months ago

probably not even that long.

company gave me a looooot of shirts 😄

like 5 years ago there was a day where they gave us 10 shirts xD

(and I'm an engineer, there's no need for me to wear those. they just did it for fun)

[languid sequoia]

You know for sure when offices open up I'm grabbing a few company shirts lool

[sly elk]

XD

might as well take the free clothes

I've never worn most of mine because they're kinda gaudy colors

also I think half of them would get me shot if I wore them in the wrong part of town xD

but mostly just ugly

the new shirts range from neat to pretty cool

[languid sequoia]

I work at a major game studio so most of our stuff ranges from simple shirts with logos to stuff relating to the game titles, I'm going to snoop for free things but otherwise I'm willing to make a few buys if I have to

Assuming they aren't all smalls

[sly elk]

sweet

major game studio shirts are a good way to strike up a convo haha

though I've never asked. then again nobody's ever asked about mine so

[dreamy chasm]

I don't even work in IT, but I have a set of 5 similar gray shirts I like to wear

[sly elk]

but ya'd think people would ask about a game shirt!

[dreamy chasm]

I've never been one to stand out

[sly elk]

i usually wear game shirts or anime shirts and have received lots of compliments on those ^^

[languid sequoia]

Yeah my merch is mostly restricted to stuff I put on my shelves really

[sly elk]

not even the stereotypical response either

like, cute women ask about some of the shirts!

[languid sequoia]

Even my unreal shirts are slacking around the house clothes

[dreamy chasm]

I've never really bothered with merchandise shirts

[sly elk]

-chuckle- impress me with an epic pinball shirt

xD

I have my doubts such a thing exists but it'd be amazing if it did

I think I understand you though ^^

Anyone know how to fix dualshock 4? When I move to the joystick to left, the character became slow. Like I only push it halfway

[potent arrow]

dust it out

probally the best way is to open it up and shoot compressed air

[meager cargo]

I’ll try that

[meager cargo]

I sent it to fix my right stick but I asked them to replace my left stick too. And for some reasons, the right stick is fixed but left stick is fucked

[teal fable]

my ps4 pad it stupid

[blazing summit]

would it be best to go for a feature full x570 motherboard or just go for the cheapest one available as long as it has a tolerable bios?

[teal fable]

connects and doesnt do anything

[teal fable]

depends what ur sticking on it are u going for average stuff because sticking god like hardware on a mediocre board sounds wrong to me

[blazing summit]

at the moment i'm on a 5600x but i'm upgrading to a 5950x next month and just upgrading stuff around it first

like case motherboard psu etc

[teal fable]

id atleast go for a midrange board with some decent features if u are sticking a 5950 x in there

but thats just my opinion xD

[blazing summit]

was going to get one like this and i know it is a waste of money but i've always wanted a crosshair board

[teal fable]

;p

i have the z690 version

[blazing summit]

but also has solid multi layer PCBs and vrm's as well as wifi and the cmos and bios flashback

which is pretty neat imo

[teal fable]

ive literally got the next chipset up from that

[blazing summit]

also has asus bios since i'm on gigabyte atm and i just for some reason hate the interface of their bios

no clue why

which one is that?

[teal fable]

z690

[blazing summit]

oh

i think this is the most recent one for amd

[blazing summit]

actually thats a shout, there might be reveals for a 6000 series cpus this year

god i'm tired

[teal fable]

might be best waiting then xD

[blazing summit]

i just want to spend my money on something computer related

just for something to tinker with or put something in

[teal fable]

only the 6000 series is likely to go in the direction of ddr5 so might be something to consider
