5600g is such an obvious choice for a budget gaming box though

[potent arrow]

Yeah it is

[dreamy chasm]

in the current market, yeah

[potent arrow]

I'm just curious lol

February I'm allocating money to buy 2-3 of each popular alder lake skus

[dreamy chasm]

for what

[potent arrow]

Gonna see what's up and see what's viable to sell

[modest moss]

She's building me a gift

[dreamy chasm]

nice

Watch out for the 12400

[potent arrow]

Lol honestly shue if you were in my province I'll actually gift you one

[dreamy chasm]

if it ends up being sub 200 bucks it'll just straight up be better than the 5600x for a hundred less

[potent arrow]

I always give away the test rigs

To like family and friends because I don't want to give a client a computer I've been running furmark on for a week straight lol

[modest moss]

oof, my beard got caught in my hoodie zip

I cry

[dreamy chasm]

the absolute state of the market

[modest moss]

eh?

[dreamy chasm]

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF THE MARKET

[modest moss]

many years ago

[potent arrow]

Cyan don't forget I sold a used 1050ti for ~650$ USD

[dreamy chasm]

Yup

[modest moss]

I don't recall anything about hoodies and zips, but eh I used to smoke a lot of weed

[dreamy chasm]

I wonder if you can jerry rig one of these to run as your gpu

I know they're able to render games on a dgpu while hooked up to an igpu these days

[potent arrow]

Probably not

[dreamy chasm]

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

I guess I was right

[potent arrow]

I'm tempted to buy a 3050 w/e it comes out

[dreamy chasm]

It's probably got some jank

[potent arrow]

I think my budget for alder lake cataloging will be 6-7k and r4 7-9k

[dreamy chasm]

man, it's been centuries since I've actually seen this

r9 290

[potent arrow]

Because Intel I'll probably have to go to ddr5

So I'll have less money to fuck with

[dreamy chasm]

Why not get a ddr4 board

[potent arrow]

Alot of sff mobod are ddr5 only

Like for alder

There's actually a good video that came out today coincidentally

https://youtu.be/5mUwDozIcbM

Only 2/5 are ddr4

And those boards are shit

[dreamy chasm]

I see

DDR5 prices sting

On god

326 usd for a 16 gig kit

?????????

when you dont even get that much performance out of it

lol

[potent arrow]

Buy it and I'll pick it up for a fee

[dreamy chasm]

this... actually isnt a terrible deal for a used 290

specially since

[lost python]

Anything over 50 is a terrible deal for a 290

[potent arrow]

No

I'm not spending a 20 on that pos

[dreamy chasm]

Do 290s even sell for sub 100 these days

?

[lost python]

If the market would be normal

That said, i should try to sell my 980

[dreamy chasm]

250ish is a good bet

[lost python]

I bet i can get 300 on local ebay

[warm mesa]

980 for 300

[lost python]

People are desperate

[warm mesa]

fuck these times

[dreamy chasm]

[lost python]

Could probably sell my second pc as a bundle for 400-500

[dreamy chasm]

what cpu?

[lost python]

I7 3960x

[dreamy chasm]

hm

[lost python]

16gb ram and 750gb ssd

[dreamy chasm]

Advertise it as a fortnite gaming rig, benchmark it and sell it for 700

[lost python]

[dreamy chasm]

BRO

People are selling gt 710 systems for 500

I wouldnt be surprised if people would pay 700+ for a working system at this point

[lost python]

I should see what I can get on the weekend

[dreamy chasm]

this just sold for 500

[lost python]

[modest moss]

you live in Ottawa?

two days running that place has come up in conversation

[potent arrow]

I used too

[modest moss]

so I say again I played as them on EA Hockey '93

they were the worst team in the game

needed the challenge

[potent arrow]

You know I hate Ottawa as a city right xD

Never again

Fucking shithole

[modest moss]

[deep sapphire]

https://cdn1.mecum.com/auctions/ha0419/ha0419-372573/images/[e-mail]?1554402489000 im thirsty for one of these

[modest moss]

paying dudes for their spot in a queue... offering rewards to employees... etc

[hard drift]

^

pretty thirsty if you ask us lmao

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

thirsty and asking to be scammed

no because you would have to get a lawyer involved or else 99% chance you will be scammed lmfao

[deep sapphire]

thinking like an asshole

[modest moss]

I like this

it's basic

[deep sapphire]

okay you got a deal

thats what I drive shue

[modest moss]

functional

[deep sapphire]

except the 454SS, but truck looks identical

[hard drift]

you drive a ford you've already said this

[modest moss]

it looks like the kind of computer I like

[deep sapphire]

and you dont drive anything at all, ESPECIALLY your GPU

[modest moss]

no useless extras like rgb

just get the job done

[hard drift]

my gpu is driven just fine ty :p

unlike your ford

[deep sapphire]

I saw that

ITS PAST CHRISTMAS BUDDY

YOU CANT BE USING THAT

[hard drift]

idk why chadoru is a thing and at the top of my chad list

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

the power of sli

[deep sapphire]

@modest moss lets watch roadhouse

https://tenor.com/view/roadhouse-gif-5901936

mfw I see a ford

[hard drift]

resolution is too high*

at higher resolutions it's more gpu restricted

[sly elk]

;et

let's face it, every time I see a pickup like that I imagine that's what the owner dreams of doing with it

[hard drift]

my cpu is only used 15% for ffxiv

[deep sapphire]

hahaha

GRAVEDIGGER

[sly elk]

IS DOING IT, IN THE AIR!

*If that were alive, it'd be roadkill now! *

[hard drift]

turn the resolution down and you'll see it go up more than likely but the higher the resolution the more you're relying on gpu power vs cpu

[sly elk]

BIGFOOT has crashed leaving an incredible path of destruction behind it!

[hard drift]

was that automod or did you delete 🤨 all i saw was something about suspicion and launcher

that's not abnormal 🤷‍♂️

[sly elk]

that feeling when you type out a passionate response on reddit and then close the window because you realize everyone will be happier if it's not posted.

[hard drift]

idk then

why are you concerned about cpu usage anyways?

that's still not bad though, what were you doing ingame?

limsa has a ton of people 🤷‍♂️

either way, if it isn't causing a problem why be concerned?

aside from it spiking and not even staying spiked

you're running two gpus there's already bound to be heat not to mention if you're worried about 50% and "heat" there's other problems

but if it didn't cause issues aside from "i saw a quick spike" you're just worrying about things that may not even be an issue

[dull garnet]

turn off afterburner

enjoy the game

[hard drift]

pretty much lmao

it's not going to cause problems if anything your cpu being utilized more for the game should increase fps

and the heat should be more than easily dissipated since it was only about 84w and you more than likely have a capable cooler with your setup or atleast should

then don't worry about it lmfao

you're worrying about non issues

[umbral moss]

In cooler weather, darker tones will help the vehicle to absorb more warmth from the sun.

how does thermodynamics work?

(you wouldn't want a black surface in cold weather because it will transfer heat away from itself more efficiently)

there's a reason most animals living in cold climates are white

I mean, not much hunts polar bears

yeah, but the thermal consideration is part of it

dark colored animals ae more prevalent in warmer regions

[modest moss]

zebras are clearly designed for all areas

[umbral moss]

as equines, mostly, yeah

horses are strange animals

[compact minnow]

don't they have black skin under that white fur tho?

[umbral moss]

yeah, but the white keeps the heat trapped, you're a less efficient radiator

if the animal couldn't regulate its body temperature at all it would just die

https://www.dpreview.com/news/4346922435/nikon-z9-dual-format-burst-performance-doubles-with-a-new-1-10-firmware-update

8 seconds of 20 fps shooting is bonkers, even if there's no in-camera lens correction

[dull garnet]

my iPhone can shoot faster

[umbral moss]

not at 45MP full resolution

yeah, that's deliberate

[modest moss]

gotta keep people grinding or they quit

[umbral moss]

it's a little more focused on getting max level players to do stuff that helps new players

if there were no tome rewards for queueing leveling or trial roulette for max level players, they'd never do it

XIV has a pretty good system to keep old content populated so new players aren't completely assed out

yes

it's deliberately done that way so you either get XP or you get level cap tomes

you'll always get poetics over level 50 and you won't get astronomy until 90

but what incentive do you have to queue leveling roulette unless you need the XP

you're advocating for the system that we already have?

"I'm max level so I should get gated tomes" -> that's how it works

why though

you're getting XP instead

your time is rewarded with XP or tomes, not both

that's why MSQ roulette is a trash investment of time unless you really need poetics

[jaunty light]

I still wanna pick up an a7iv

I'll use my 1070 until it dies

I dont give a fuck

[hard drift]

you're playing on a 60hz monitor wtf do you need two 3090s for even if prices didn't increase....

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

and for XIV

a game that doesnt scale well

[hard drift]

would still be a fucking waste

[deep sapphire]

reshade is not that demanding

[hard drift]

you could easily get away with a 3080/ti even with reshade

[deep sapphire]

you're making us all cringe for wanting dual high end GPUs for a 12 year old game

[hard drift]

you're making us cringe even still using sli in 2022

[deep sapphire]

I ran reshade at 60 FPS+ other than MSAA on with a 1070

a 3080 is like 3x more power

[hard drift]

the raytracing isn't even true raytracing

[deep sapphire]

raytracing in XIV?

so the cat girl booba pops out more

yeah quit lying the 5700XT cant even launch the game

my brothers pc runs it too well hank...

[deep sapphire]

mmhmm

[hard drift]

he was playing 14 with me earlier lmao he had 0 problems and i'm sitting over here angry

[deep sapphire]

riiiiiight

[hard drift]

trust me i wouldn't be mad if i didn't know it was true and he had 0 problems

[deep sapphire]

alright bidori

I trust you

[hard drift]

no you don't 😔

[deep sapphire]

I dont

😄

[hard drift]

see, his 5700xt did good enough to atleast stay in game until p2 of e4s

if he was 90 we could've cleared but yeah...

[deep sapphire]

game so dead you have to make up stories about 5700XT being able to run the game /s

[hard drift]

lmao

somehow we've had 5700xt success stories in this chat so tbh it doesn't surprise me anymore but still mad

[deep sapphire]

Unreal (1998) had the same technology

FFXIV BTFO

[hard drift]

lmfao

it's not even worth using

[deep sapphire]

need 3090 to afk in a housing ward

[hard drift]

you could honestly probably get by with a 3060/ti for what you are after

btw Wipeout HD in VR is pretty wild

[deep sapphire]

I think HD was just a remaster of Pulse on PSP

[modest moss]

it's hard in VR though

[deep sapphire]

Though I think F-Zero GX is the best racing game in the futuristic genre

[modest moss]

tbh it was pretty hard anyway

aha put him on Wipeout 2048, looks better

works fine for me

75hz monitor, gtx 1080, 75fps cap, good times

or you could not give a fuck and just have fun playing the game

[sharp star]

Alright so my FPS in FF14 tanked after 6.05 dropped. I where I get a constant (capped) 60, I now get 30-45. Rolled back one Nvidia driver version. Reinstalled Windows 11. Checked my CPU and found out that only one CCD is active (5950X). Seems like only CPU-bound games have this issue.

Yep

I'm on the latest BIOS version for my mobo and applied the chipset drivers

I'm still at 45 FPS in Shiro. I would normally get 60

Nothing I'm doing is bringing it above 45 FPS so I suspect it's the CPU

No. I capped it via Nvidia control panel

Yes

No cap ingame, 60 FPS cap in Nvidia control panel.

CCD2 is asleep

It normally isn't when running games

[dull garnet]

you have a 5950X and a 60Hz display? 👀

[sharp star]

120Hz

[gusty stump]

Anyone figured a solution to dx11 issues?

[potent arrow]

Imagine having more then 60hz lol

[modest moss]

nothing has changed in the last 24hrs, did you even try the two newer nvidia drivers?

[gusty stump]

Yes

No success sadly

[odd sand]

Last one is clearly very monk-like

[hard drift]

i don't need it, but i want it 😔

[dull garnet]

simp

[hard drift]

hey, not saying it'll be great to compete but it's a start of good competition hopefully from both sides

[odd sand]

I remember I first saw the D15 in Tsukumo in Akiba while on a trip and it blew my mind. Was like twice the size of any other HSF I had seen before lol

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

still nothing compared to the scythe orochi

[deep sapphire]

[odd sand]

This morning was weird. Woke up at 8:30 and couldn't fall back asleep for like an hour bc kept thinking about stuff then eventually passed out and alarm woke me up at 11 like only a few mins had passed, then I hit snooze and still felt like I could sleep another 3hrs even tho for that one hour I was almost ready to get up

[deep sapphire]

thats right

[dull garnet]

so yes

[deep sapphire]

cave to america

🇺🇸

[dull garnet]

well, Japan uses NTSC too kiddo

[deep sapphire]

they caved before you did

https://tenor.com/view/captain-falcon-anime-yo-salute-whats-up-gif-6103455

I dont think they use NTSC anymore

[modest moss]

PAL fo' life

[dull garnet]

they use it as much as America does

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

also just emulate paper mario

[deep sapphire]

it emulates like poopoo

[modest moss]

project 64 should be ok

[dull garnet]

shue citing a 20 year old emu

[modest moss]

there are nerdy guides out there

[deep sapphire]

isnt it funny

project 64

for the most part

was a pretty good emulator

and then after that

progress just sorta died

[late basalt]

which is funny

you'd think it'd be easier to emulate the older consoles at this point

[modest moss]

it's still in dev you toolbags

https://github.com/project64/project64

[deep sapphire]

I should buy a USB gamecube controller

shue helps make project64

[modest moss]

343 forks, updated 2 days ago

[deep sapphire]

he's offended by us

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

I always think you're right

[dull garnet]

fell for my bait

[modest moss]

be my gf speedy

[dull garnet]

doushio

i don't know what is considered good for 64

[deep sapphire]

do they have a compat list

if paper mario is decent now

I will emulate it

I have my old roms folder

[dull garnet]

all dumped by yourself

every n64 game is like 10GB

[deep sapphire]

hahaha

[modest moss]

they have a discord

[late basalt]

wasnt n64 when smash bros started?

[modest moss]

go ask

[late basalt]

or was that ngc?

[dull garnet]

n64

smash 64 sucks

melee is great

[late basalt]

not disagreeing

BUT

[modest moss]

I can easily send you 8 different roms tbh

[late basalt]

it sold/gained enough interest to continue the franchise

[modest moss]

they're like 22mb each

[late basalt]

so there's one good thing to have come from n64

[dull garnet]

64 has some good stuff

like a handful

zelda, pokemons, mario 64

[modest moss]

imagine listing good n64 games and not saying goldeneye

massive pleb

[dull garnet]

i've played goldeneye within the last 20 years so

I dunno if Datsun was a thing anywhere else, they called Nissan, Datsun in the states until like the mid/late 80s

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

Nintendo owned the Seattle Mariners for awhile (Baseball team) and people in the state of washington were furious

[modest moss]

Datsuns were semi popular here, but they phased them out for the Nissan badge

[dull garnet]

NoA was fuckin weird man

[deep sapphire]

ah alright, I guess Datsun was everywhere

https://cdn-0.motorcycle-logos.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Honda-motorcycle-logo.png

because I beat that on 1 credit at the arcade

[deep sapphire]

AVGN when he's listing off all the street fighter versions

[modest moss]

my life was downhill from there

[dull garnet]

back in 1985

[deep sapphire]

"super street fighter II turbo... what the fuck!"

https://youtu.be/OEVzPCY2T-g?t=26

classic

[modest moss]

came out in 87, so I'd guess I was 14 and playing it in 88?

@tranquil breach free my boi speed

[modest moss]

trophy truck?

[tranquil breach]

It doesn't seem like it was said with malice or ill intent or anything, but for future reference just know that if you're shortening Japan / Japanese, JP is the go-to because the other short-form can be considered a slur in a lot of context

[deep sapphire]

oof

[modest moss]

oh wow he should know that

[odd sand]

@deep sapphire Ah, it was just a rebadged S10. I thought maybe it was a midsized version. https://itstillruns.com/gmc-pickup-s15-specs-7540593.html

[deep sapphire]

ah nah, yeah its confusing

S10/S15 were just the compact trucks based off the ISUZU made LUV

C10/C15 were the full sized trucks

and to make it even more confusing

the K5 was the blazer/jimmy

and then they used C/K 1500/2500/3500

and THEN they just said fuck it and called them Silverado/Sierra

[tranquil breach]

@dull garnet Should be good now, just avoid that shortform

[odd sand]

Never even heard of the C-label before

[deep sapphire]

C just designated 2WD, K for 4WD

they were internal codes

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/rita-repulsa-funny-witch-bluecollar-happy-gif-12778977

[odd sand]

But honestly, there seems to be a big gap in collectors between like 1960-1980

[deep sapphire]

as GM never had a name for the trucks back then

they were either called Fleetside or Stepside

[dull garnet]

Triggered the word filter so much

[odd sand]

The most swap meet interest is like 1950s or earlier, or you would see the newer ones that were like 1980 or later

[deep sapphire]

the C/K 10 was produced for a long time

early 70s until 1987

and the 1988 model would be the C/K 1500 "OBS"

[dull garnet]

As I was saying, ssfiit is super street fighter ii x grand master challenge in japan

ST CPU is borderline psychic

[modest moss]

wb speedy you racist boomer

im not that great but im not horrible, turns out they programmed it to set the CPU to 9 in difficulty regardless what you had it on
