Because of Student Discount

[latent grotto]

Should've got a windows instead

[modest moss]

3k windows laptop wouldn't have this issue and would be great for video editing but eh it's too late for that

[latent grotto]

How did she talk them up into the employee discount lol

[modest moss]

plot twist: your wife had an affair

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

Hank, apple bad

[lethal dune]

Ughhhh

[deep sapphire]

Is it doing the thing where it tries to install the game to memory

[lethal dune]

I don't know

[modest moss]

5 volumes in a 500gb drive

[lethal dune]

I am so sorry

[modest moss]

factory reset that bitch

[deep sapphire]

What are you apologizing for 😛

What exactly is the problem

[modest moss]

for owning a mac

[deep sapphire]

I’m jumping in

[latent grotto]

No it thinks the storage is full

When its not supposed to be

[deep sapphire]

Yeah it’s trying to install it to ram

[lethal dune]

[deep sapphire]

I’ve seen this before

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire this

[deep sapphire]

No

Wait

Everyone shut up I’ve seen this issue before

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/muppets-laughing-gif-4265654

[latent grotto]

is this the part where we get a windows

[dull garnet]

those aren't volumes

lol

[modest moss]

it literally says volumes though

[deep sapphire]

No like

Literally

The game tries to install to the RAM

it’s the strangest shit

[latent grotto]

Thats

[dull garnet]

gotta go fast

[latent grotto]

So fucking weird

[lethal dune]

[deep sapphire]

I’m trying to remember how it was fixed it’s been a couple years since the last time I saw it

I wanna say it was something stupid with trying to install the wrong license of the game

[modest moss]

he still doesn't appear to have enough storage on his drive though

[deep sapphire]

The 2TB drive has enough storage

Can’t you install it there

[latent grotto]

Does ffxiv let you do that?

[deep sapphire]

I don’t see why not

[latent grotto]

Ok but

Mac

[deep sapphire]

If not just move some stuff off the boot drive

[modest moss]

but one place it says he has enough space and elsewhere it says he doesn't

[lethal dune]

I tried to download XIV on Mac, is an app that allows me to use XIVLauncher at the beginning but apparently it only works on Windows/Steam Licence and can only work on Mac of I use Crossover

[modest moss]

23.9gb free, but also 351.38gb free

[latent grotto]

Truly the authentic mac experience

[deep sapphire]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/c85ho0/64bit_mac_client_says_i_need_more_space_but_i/esktbdt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

Try this

[lethal dune]

The Devs who made XIV on Mac then updated the thing to be compatible with Mac licence, and this allows me to use ACT and Dalamud Plugins

[latent grotto]

I had those calls daily when I worked for them

The other half of my calls were about icloud

[lethal dune]

That TB storage is exclusively use for photo archiving, uni, art and video editting

[latent grotto]

Nono i meant the says 40GB available but in another tab it says 400GB available

[modest moss]

yeah do the thing in that reddit link, I said it was time machine being a dick

tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / $((2 ** 30 * 50)) 3

[lethal dune]

It's going to it's 2 year birthday on April

[latent grotto]

Do they even have time machine turned on?

And shouldn't time machine snapshots be on an external

[lethal dune]

I'm too dumb for this small brain to understand

[latent grotto]

Dw

Apple doesn't know what they're doing either

[modest moss]

@lethal dune read the link from Hank

[latent grotto]

Not having issues with mac is honestly poggers

[modest moss]

he's so annoyed with us not shutting up he's gone offline lol

[latent grotto]

Hank smokes

Although he's probably more irritable atm cuz of covid

[deep sapphire]

LOL no I was out in my truck

im back inside

[latent grotto]

Wb babe

[modest moss]

ok calm down Hank

[deep sapphire]

gotta start it up so the battery doesnt die

[latent grotto]

When will hank come to start me up so I dont die

😳

[modest moss]

every vehicle gets 0MPG when in park

[deep sapphire]

[lethal dune]

reading the think that Hank sent me

[modest moss]

try it

tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / $((2 ** 30 * 50)) 3

bam

[deep sapphire]

yeah just literally put that into terminal

[deep sapphire]

also this is true

im very groggy

no energy

but all in all I dont feel too bad

thanks vaccine

[latent grotto]

Inb4 its the brake cleaner killing the rona

[deep sapphire]

LOL

huff the vapors, kills the virus instantly

[lethal dune]

@deep sapphire like this?

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[lethal dune]

okay here goes

[deep sapphire]

I know CLI is scary

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-sign-of-the-cross-praying-hoping-nico-santos-gif-13720686

[lethal dune]

OMG IT WORK

[deep sapphire]

[lethal dune]

HOLY SHIT

WOOOOOO

[deep sapphire]

supposedly it frees up abunch of shit from time machine's cache

[modest moss]

I fucking said it was time machine

[deep sapphire]

wow and nobody listened to shue

thats fucked up

[modest moss]

and I haven't touched a mac this century.

[deep sapphire]

I just googled the problem

[modest moss]

same

[lethal dune]

I tried googling it but the shit didnt came up

[modest moss]

well, I googled macbook pro reporting incorrect free space

[lethal dune]

so I gonna assume I didnt type in the right search info

[latent grotto]

So in other news time machine is poorly designed

[deep sapphire]

yeah it can be a mess, sometimes you just have to use context clues

[latent grotto]

probably boomers

[deep sapphire]

this shit happens to windows errors too, I dunno how many times I spent looking at reddit posts until I was satisfied what I was reading was the solution

[dull garnet]

people that ask for help in a reddit discord

[modest moss]

@lethal dune I'll ping you next time I log in on Cactuar and collect our fee

[lethal dune]

sadly I'm an axtual zoomer

[deep sapphire]

well we figured that you use a mac

[latent grotto]

Wait you have time machine turned on?

[lethal dune]

One Titania Wing and Plate of Light?

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

that being said you should probably get another external

so you can free up some space

[latent grotto]

I'm lowkey being reminded of the people who had like 4 externals

And a usb hub

[modest moss]

Eldthurs Horn pls

[lethal dune]

But I only a copy cat bulb with my small house

[latent grotto]

Also idk whats going on here i just see a bunch of adapters

[modest moss]

go to eureka and grind one

[lethal dune]

Oh wow, bye doing that, it frees up this much space @modest moss @deep sapphire

[deep sapphire]

sweet jesus

thats a lot

[modest moss]

sweet, more room for hentai

[latent grotto]

We turn off time machine yet

[deep sapphire]

true

[lethal dune]

More room for Estinien and G'raha Fanfics

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

🪖

[modest moss]

I think this guy may need it though

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxWwzQ15D8Y

the mother fuckers...

[latent grotto]

Thats like saying people need esd bracelets and anti static mats

[modest moss]

uh

they kinda do

[deep sapphire]

I think thats pretty cool when he dies he comes back to life and is a catcher for the cleveland indians

[modest moss]

I don't use them, but you kinda should

[deep sapphire]

sure if you wanna get banned

[modest moss]

yes post nsfw so I can @ the mods

[lethal dune]

ANyways, Thank you for everyone for helping me get through this problem 🙏 😭

[deep sapphire]

well the bot will probably delete it before you can post it anyway

[lethal dune]

Really, REALLY DO

[deep sapphire]

no problem friend

thats what we're here for

well that and shitposting

[modest moss]

no worries lyncster, wave if you see me in game cactuarbro

[lethal dune]

I have a question tho with ram, does having more is good?

[latent grotto]

I read that as nft at first

[deep sapphire]

yes and no

[modest moss]

you have enough

[lethal dune]

I will!

[deep sapphire]

there are diminishing returns but it all depends what you are doing

[lethal dune]

people say having 64gb ram is an overkill

[deep sapphire]

32GB is probably the most you'll ever need for most things

[lethal dune]

I usually use it to render animation and videos

[modest moss]

if you're actually video editing, 64gb is good

[deep sapphire]

64 is pretty overkill but its not like its bad

and yeah it defo helps for that

[latent grotto]

Yea for video editing 64GB is fine

[deep sapphire]

specially if you want to render multiple videos at once

[lethal dune]

Next time, when I get a better job, I will try and buy a Gaming PC with good Graphics Card so I can run things better

[modest moss]

it's probably excessive for gaming, but it's good for 3d rendering, video encoding, etc

[lethal dune]

If only Graphics Cards are cheap

[latent grotto]

Just keep in mind if you switch to windows this can affect what video editing software you have access to

[lethal dune]

I'm planning to do Video Editting and I use blender a lot

[modest moss]

my guy that 3k laptop would have a 3080 in it if you'd bought a windows one

[deep sapphire]

well lets hope the market corrects itself within a year because im tired of it too

[lethal dune]

I Have FCPX and Motion, and I make a lot of stuff in ther

[deep sapphire]

fuckin 62 grand for a fuckin truck, 2 grand for a high end GPU

hows anyone supposed to make it in this economy

[latent grotto]

Yea I dont think final cut and motion are on windows

[deep sapphire]

if all you plan on playing is ffxiv

just stay with your mac, if thats your bread earner

[modest moss]

just move to sony vegas etc

[deep sapphire]

I dunno final cut is kinda in its own league

[latent grotto]

What if we kept the mac for editing and got a windows for gaming

[deep sapphire]

im sure sony vegas would be good enough

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

but final cut is kinda the industry standard

my friend works for pixar

aside from the obvious apple bias they all use final cut

[dull garnet]

vegas crashes all the time

[deep sapphire]

lol sony

[lethal dune]

@deep sapphire because of the app XIV on mac allows me to use Dalamud Plugins, I got too excited with Oops Lalafell plugin

[dull garnet]

buried SEGA

[deep sapphire]

and still cant release a piece of software that isnt littered with bugs

I found out why my XM4s sound like shit over 70 percent volume

if you use ANC

once I turned it off

suddenly my sound quality dramatically improved

[lethal dune]

Final cut is more streamlined and easier to work on multiple things

[deep sapphire]

I believe it

[lethal dune]

Adobe Premiere Pro is janky as fuck

Same with After Effects

[dull garnet]

not sure i'd buy sony sound hw

maybe cd900st

[deep sapphire]

plus the new M1X has purpose built silicon for video rendering

[lethal dune]

yup which is a plus

oh gods

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/lisa-simpsons-think-differently-gif-10459041

[latent grotto]

Does it do furigana at least?

[deep sapphire]

I had a performa

[latent grotto]

Rip

[deep sapphire]

what a pile of dog shit

it'd crash from playing MP3s

[latent grotto]

Kanji struggle is real

[deep sapphire]

90s macs were horrible

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

how you gonna call a mac a performa when its the budget entry

oh and all the advertisements were centered around how it could run windows programs

if it runs windows programs why wouldnt I Just buy a PC

thats why its good mac has a few killer apps

otherwise why would anyone care to use it

[lethal dune]

Honestly i prefer mac due to video editing and rendering, plus using motion is soooo streamlined compare to adobe

also good ram

[deep sapphire]

yeah, mac is a good work machine

terminal is nice too

granted thats not as important now that powershell supports bash

[lethal dune]

makes making shit post FFXIV clips funny

[modest moss]

3 grand to make memes

[lethal dune]

I hope the XIV on Mac team manage to to make a guide on how to install GShade cause I desperately need GShade

[deep sapphire]

I discovered someone named like fun bun or something

they make some funny XIV shitposts

[lethal dune]

Oh no, its actually possible

but at the cost of learning LLinux

[deep sapphire]

I think it uses cross

let me look

I dont remember

[modest moss]

wine I think

[lethal dune]

it uses wine

[deep sapphire]

ah alright

[modest moss]

imagine knowing less about macs than a guy who hasn't touched one since the 90s Hank

[lethal dune]

trueeeee

:U

as bonus, I shall show you this

[deep sapphire]

HEY I THOUGHT IT USED CROSSOVER

WHICH IS MADE IN MINNESOTA KEEP SUPPORTING OUR INDUSTRY THANKS

[modest moss]

[modest moss]

2022 and going strong

[deep sapphire]

Australians are great, I picture it just one giant place where nobody gives a shit

[lethal dune]

Our lockdown is super tight, one case and its bam

[deep sapphire]

its the states of the southern hemisphere

[lethal dune]

Nations-wide lockdown

[modest moss]

just don't mention the ashes

[deep sapphire]

lock downs are frustrating because they make these stupid exemptions which just extends the duration of it and makes people go insane

[modest moss]

the ONS estimates 1 in 15 people in the UK has covid atm

[lethal dune]

We have to carry aVaccine Card AND medical digital certificate to enter places

[deep sapphire]

did you know in the wallet app on iOS you can store your vaccine card

[lethal dune]

but this is getting off-topic but, I heard the Materiia DC is going to be in Sydney

[deep sapphire]

well it works for the CDC cards not sure about international ones

who did you ping

the wallet app is amazing

[late basalt]

It stopped being one?

[deep sapphire]

you can also store your plane, bus and train tickets to them

[modest moss]

ok Hank is apple simping, I'm gonna go start nier replicant

[dull garnet]

[modest moss]

[deep sapphire]

there's a seagate campus not far from me, you guys want some free drives

its cool they only make enterprise drives

so they wont fail

maybe

I dunno I'll just walk in with a black duffle bag

and a ski mask

and ask for a tour

see what we can do

Cray is also built into the mall of america for some reason

I should tour that

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DvrPFMLWsAAXWjH.jpg

im sure nobody who visits the mall has any idea who tf cray is

but us turbo nerds do

its the biggest mall in north america aside from the edmonton mall

but its owned by the same property manager

it is huge

[latent grotto]

Is it underground?

[deep sapphire]

it has its own theme park

[lethal dune]

I really hope Business Division 3 gets more Graphics Cards

[deep sapphire]

thats not bad

not sure how many MOA has

they've been expanding to it as well

maybe it'll become the largest mall in north america who knows

looks like MOA has 466 stores

[modest moss]

Hank are you actually trying to talk up minnesota?

[lethal dune]

I like how in the design department, there's an unspoken to rule to always pirate Adobe

😂

[deep sapphire]

yeah paying for adobe is a meme

they did this to themselves by making it a subscription

and also hardly updating any of it

there's like 2 new tools in CC over CS6

like what a joke lol

[dreamy chasm]

[lethal dune]

We do that, but in the case we graduated we pirated it

[deep sapphire]

Hmmmm.

Windows 11 still not shutting down

[odd sand]

The Gates Hivemind cannot be contained! /s

[deep sapphire]

Just force shut it down

It ain’t gonna do anything

If it’s hung on an update it’ll just revert it when you boot back up

I find it ridiculous if they have that fail safe why it doesn’t time out after 10 minutes or something

The average user isn’t gonna know or even trust to just hold the power button down when it literally says don’t shut your computer off lmao

[odd sand]

Me every morning waking up 2mins before the change of shift Teams call Audio-Only heh

[dull garnet]

i didn't even finish that show but one of the characters has beyer T1

So weird

[modest moss]

fdisk

orrrr just use 10

[modest moss]

be a better pirate

I know nothing

[jaunty light]

Dont worry

There are still no good isekai

[odd sand]

Isekai are like going to see an action movie. You know it's trash, you just want to see shit blow up.

[jaunty light]

aren't you supposed to be a catgirl

[modest moss]

konosuba was good

I don't really watch anime and konosuba is why I haven't bothered trying other isekai, I know they won't be as good

[real bone]

my pc if making some strange noices i cant figure out what is wrong, plz halp

[modest moss]

520w puss

[lethal dune]

That's a perfectly working PC you got there

[modest moss]

purrrrrrfect working order

[real bone]

thank you

[deep sapphire]

Never used it tbh

[hard drift]

waste to use it unless you have a display with enough dimming zones

not enough, wouldn't bother

you'd want around 500-1000 zones

otherwise most of the time it just brightens around the edges and looks off

[modest moss]

Ice have you considered that you might be addicted to spending money?

I mean the frequency with which you talk about wanting to buy stuff in here, I'm not judging you, just a random musing

[hard drift]

sound lag? 🤨

no idea, only thing i can say is check the properties of the sound device

what resolution is the tv?

that's more than likely why

a 1080ti doesn't have hdmi 2.1 it can't do 4k 120

idk what spec of hdmi the 1080ti has

[modest moss]

if the 1080 ti has dp 1.4 could you use that and an adapter with a 2.1 hdmi cable to the tv?

[hard drift]

then yeah that's going to be the only way to try 4k 120

[modest moss]

idk if it'd work but dp 1.4 should do 4k120

worth a try anyway

looks like the 4k adapters aren't cheap though

[hard drift]

hopefully it's actually up to spec

[modest moss]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/club-3d-cac-1085-displayport-to-hdmi-4k120hz-hdr-active-adapter-cable-displayport-14male-to-hdmifema

[hard drift]

geeze that's an expensive adapter

[modest moss]

gonna run you more for a dp 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 by the look of it

similar here

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003511308509.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2c2a6c6fG29JLX&algo_pvid=5fe6abca-f675-4d4a-81a4-87231eaf9ac8&algo_exp_id=5fe6abca-f675-4d4a-81a4-87231eaf9ac8-23&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000026114702909"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B23.09%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BGBP%3Bsearch-mainSearch

you can get a cable that claims to do it without adapter

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002879056891.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2c2a6c6fG29JLX&algo_pvid=5fe6abca-f675-4d4a-81a4-87231eaf9ac8&aem_p4p_detail=202201071751381241724738847890051359531&algo_exp_id=5fe6abca-f675-4d4a-81a4-87231eaf9ac8-34&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000022595428739"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B18.22%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BGBP%3Bsearch-mainSearch

tad cheaper

although there's a review on that cable saying it did 4k at 60hz

so idk

[deep sapphire]

TECHNOLOGY

[fallen iron]

So, I’m back with more controller gripes. I feel like I’ve tried everything
Disabled device association root enumerator, disabled Bluetooth detection, registered as a non-steam game and launching it through there, still getting disconnects. Why

[modest moss]

updated controller firmware?

[dreamy chasm]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-core-i5-12400-review

the 5600x has been slain

[fallen iron]

It should be up to date, it’s wired in due to being a Duke

[modest moss]

you mean the og xbox controller or a remake?

[fallen iron]

Remake

Model in question

[modest moss]

hyperkin one?

[fallen iron]

Yeah

[modest moss]

probably want to hit them up for support

[fallen iron]

It works with other games, FFXIV is the “problem child” for whatever reason

[modest moss]

do you have another controller you can test with XIV to rule out your PC and isolate the issue to that controller?

[fallen iron]

I do, a series 2 elite, should I do wired or wireless?

[modest moss]

shouldn't matter but I prefer wired

[dreamy chasm]

Wired to rule out issues regarding connectivity

[modest moss]

you broke it by fannying around with SLI in 2022

you borked windows probably

because windows is dumb

[void dove]

Clean reinstalled how?

Yeah was gonna say, use ddu

[fallen iron]

Ok, it’s NOT the one controller, it’s both

[modest moss]

yeah I definitely see more options than that in nvidia control panel

[fallen iron]

I do not have another rig to test this on unfortunately

[void dove]

I clean install new drivers every few months, never have driver issues anymore

[modest moss]

you're missing the whole display section, and have developer instead

[latent grotto]

just do wired

[modest moss]

they did

2 controllers

keep up

[latent grotto]

no u

[modest moss]

@fallen iron did you try the second controller wireless?

[fallen iron]

Yep

[modest moss]

I forget, have you tried an integrity check with quicklauncher and/or reinstalling XIV?

[latent grotto]

does it happen with other games

[fallen iron]

I have not, and it does not

[modest moss]

https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher/releases

try an integrity check, see if there's some weird corruption, doesn't take long

means battling a queue though if your server has them

[fallen iron]

It does

So I’ll most likely have to troubleshoot this tomorrow when there’s not a huge queue

[modest moss]

don't suppose you have a DS4?

first time I've seen that

but I haven't updated nvidia drivers in a bit

[jaunty light]

Disable driver install via win upd

Its somewhere in adv system settings

[fallen iron]

did the install check... says it's all good

[modest moss]

about the only things left I have to suggest are the nuclear options like reinstall XIV or even windows, and I wouldn't even think it's likely to fix it

can you borrow a DS4 from somewhere and test that?

[fallen iron]

I mean, there's one other thing

I have a program called "ReWASD" installed

I'll try disabling/removing that before I do anything more drastic

[modest moss]

uh, that's the first thing I'd have done lol

[sly elk]

so what I've learned so far this year, is that those 3m command strips are useless to mount things in my computer

.. or in my garage really

[jaunty light]

get the extreme vhb they have for cars

[sly elk]

yea, I was just hoping I wouldn't have something stuck in there forever

I mean I guess I could get a thin piece of metal to mount on screws and then use nasty vhb kinda things

then again, vhb does come off

I've used it before 😄 it comes off if you roll it off kinda like clay or something

[jaunty light]

ya you just gotta do that or pull the edges straight off

[sly elk]

i really wanna get that gpu cable installed 😄

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[jaunty light]

do it

or do you not have it yet

[sly elk]

I have it, just finally getting around to having some free time for today 😄

it came last night

in case ya ever wondered what the back looks like heheh

I need to flip it around because the rgb part is on the wrong side.

oh that's interesting. The 8-pin connectors are actually 6+2

the braided cables it comes with are silver. i wonder if anyone ever swaps that out for their own braided cables.

the inner cables are recessed into the light cover o_O

[sly elk]

I have an inwin 915 lol

I kinda wish I had an o11

This isn’t going to fit how I was imagining

Be nice if I could just take the bottom cover off

But then cable management would be a true nightmare

[sly elk]

I drink to make this work I’m going to either need to vertically mount the gpu, or get a 90 degree adapter

[modest moss]

orrr just use normal cables like a normal person

[sly elk]

Noooo what’s the fun in that

It is very very very bright lol

[modest moss]

what's the opposite of 'tasteful and understated'?

[sly elk]

Hang on I got ya

[modest moss]

you actually need to get that case wrapped/sprayed/something

[sly elk]

There

[modest moss]

looks dull af with all that rainbow inside

[sly elk]

It is tackier than a civic type r at a ricer festival

[modest moss]

seriously get some decals or idk spray it rainbow

if you're going to go unicorn vomit, you should go full unicorn vomit

[sly elk]

depends. when I took that picture the rest of the comp was in unicorn mode because I'd started it up but not logged in.

but still

yea I was definitely not going for the understated look 😄

the case's glass window is tinted very dark and that tones down the rgb a bit...

erg but yea I need to find some 90 degree plugs. I couldn't put the door back on lol, so I took it off for now.

omg

[jaunty light]

Combine wit da strimer design and br baller

[sly elk]

lol

maybe

so I redid the sleeve a few times and was able to finally get it so I could close the door on the case

I think I'm gonna call this done 😄

hmm I should hook it up to the motherboard though 😄

so I can do some better lighting theme

[jaunty light]

Dont like the gpu cable route but not much choice in this case

I like how your gpu strimer looks though

[sly elk]

I wanted to go under like yours, but with the fans there and all, it just didn't look good

neither of our cases are deep enough XD

your board looks so much like mine XD

oh yea interesting thing about that triple 8 strimer plus

it comes with its own controller box that replaces the one that comes with the 24pin atx strimer plus

eg it can handle both the 3x8 and 24pin cable

the one that comes with the 24pin can only handle the 2x8 cable

dang I'm impressed the cpu cooler doesn't cover the ram up. i always thought it did

that looks like a great fit ^^

[jaunty light]

If you use both fans, but i find unnecessary

[sly elk]

if you have one mounted in the back and one in the middle?

just skip putting an exhaust fan on the back of the case?

[jaunty light]

You could do that as well but i prefer single woth exhaust tbh

But i could fit both

5900x doesnt get that hot

The strix cooler is pretty quiet at 100% so Ive actually been pinning it there

[sly elk]

wow

the ftw3 cooler at 100% is.. incredibly loud

[jaunty light]

I can maintain almost 2ghz

Its audible for sure but in game with open heapdphones its fine

[sly elk]

hmm actually it's not thaaat bad

but that GUI bug is annoying

-points at fan 3-

sounds like a hair dryer xD

they're pretty much inaudible at what it claims to be 1100rpm

the worst noise by far comes from the radiator fans >>

because it's not a whine, it's a roar

sounds like the strix was worth the extra $$/time if it is quiet at 100% though 🙂

[jaunty light]

it definitely has the blow dryer tone to it but at least to me it's quiet lol

[sly elk]

at least it's moving a lot of air 🙂

[jaunty light]

if I ramp my noctuas to 100% those are for sure louder

I don't have a fancy audio recorder to measure the dBA though

[sly elk]

some things are just better not knowing 😄

[jaunty light]

errr

https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxUqueIZC7TRuRF9oSzZSDEpLbycZ9aR_M

[sly elk]

that is neat but

it's too bad the case itself is not looking interesting

it's just a box >>

shit why didn't they at least do slanted sides or something

[astral garden]

what does GA- means

[sly elk]

maybe it means gigabyte aorus?

but i think they used ga before they did aorus so maybe it just means gigabyte lol

wth sonnet makes GPUs?!

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1679945-REG/sonnet_s_rx6900xt_16g_sonnet_amd_radeon_6900.html

for sure lol

[sharp star]

probably gaming

[night vigil]

Sonnett is an AIB that makes stuff for macs usually

and gigabyte GA means that they are first party manufacturer, Z690 is the chipset.

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690-AORUS-PRO-rev-1x/sp#sp here's the actual spec page for that mainboard

[modern iris]

i had such a hard time finding this tpm 2.0 chip for my mobo, im still not 100% the one i ordered is right one

will a 12 pin work in a 20 pin header?

[odd sand]

How old is your CPU/mobo? Generally speaking for Win11 you can do software TPM via a clean install. The TPM module is only enforced if you want to do an upgrade.

[modern iris]

trying to do an upgrade

mobo is a b450m ds3h

cpu amd ryzen 5 3600

the bios does have a tpm setting inside but it doesnt allow me to uprgrade whwen i turn it on

[odd sand]

I have no idea then. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't know it would work or not.

[modern iris]

well i googled the name for it

same thing, but picture shows it as a 12 pin

[odd sand]

And I always do clean installs. I'm sitting on Win10 for the first 6-9 months until they iron out the early kinks

[modern iris]

thats a good plan really

[odd sand]

Then I'll have to see if I eat my words on the software TPM working heh

[modern iris]

i just wanted to get it whilke its free

[odd sand]

I really doubt they will cut off the free upgrade. The days of charging for OS are pretty much over. They want all that juicy telemetry

You can still get free Win10 upgrade for Win7/8

[modern iris]

yeah unfortunately

[odd sand]

That said, there are multiple utilities out there to debloat Windows and disable telemetry etc.

[modern iris]

i think my laptop will get linux on it once they phase out 10

yeah i use shutup10

[odd sand]

I haven't ran any of those utils, but I do run 10Pro and disabled all telemetry options and Cortana in the settings.

So it has less BS in it than the Home version

[modern iris]

shutup10 is like a gui that changes hidden registry settings for you

but yeah when time comes to get 11, ill see if i can clean boot from a usb

if the chip doesnt work

[astral garden]

or gay.

[teal fable]

i never even thought to go up with my gpu strimer xD @sly elk

[royal forge]

[paper tusk]

i put rgb fans in my desktop and frame rate no go up I am sadge

[royal forge]

You gotta put red ones for speed, but also comes with heat.
You put blue for cooling

You put green for rtx

[paper tusk]

[teal fable]

Don’t talk about heat I’m regretting buying a mid tower and sticking a 3080 In there

[dull garnet]

ehhh, i think this was made in the late 00s

[keen hearth]

Was busy last night but wanted to say to anyone that as helping me with my game crashing issue that reinstalling the game on my SSD fixed it, I still see periodic spikes to 100% for my HDD, but they dont affect my computer, and only last a couple of seconds

[eager sandal]

does launching ffxiv in dx9 generally give a performance increase with older cpus

[modest moss]

possibly and possibly worse, it couldn't hurt to try it

[eager sandal]

ig, was just reading up on stuff and with the dude's rig it went up by like 20 or so

[hard drift]

the only problem with dx9 is that if you encounter problems you're out of luck for help except for default issues such as 2002 or something

[potent arrow]

You are out of luck for help with any direct x

[hard drift]

nah there's some assistance SE/other can provide for dx11 but not 9

[modest moss]

dx9 is just suck it and see territory

definitely worth trying on a shit machine, just don't get your hopes too high

[potent arrow]

Dammit you made that song play in my head

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-now-rumored-to-announced-on-january-11th if this is true nvidias lineup is getting to be really wonky

[modest moss]

bringing out new models when they can't even deliver existing ones

it's absurd

[dull garnet]

they're delivering them to the highest bidder

all according to keikaku

[hard drift]

https://www.techspot.com/news/92893-amd-exploring-adding-ryzen-5000-support-300-series.html 👀 potential good news for old motherboards

[hard drift]

well yeah, their sockets are physically different lol

am4 atleast is the same across all generations just different perks/limits to each chipset

[dull garnet]

plus they're AMD

[hard drift]

won't matter

nvidia has been better in the consumer eyes for a while plus with the troubles rdna 1 had physically and driver wise it's further solidified it in peoples minds

[dull garnet]

what was the last truly good amd card

7970?

i had a 6850

my last amd card also

that was £75 and lasted me many years

[hard drift]

amd has a large hill to climb to get consumers back to their side vs nvidia

[dull garnet]

like 4?

then i got a 670 and never looked back

member when "founder"/reference designs were ass

i member

yeah

30 series cards are art

[jaunty light]

actually good .. yeah probably the 7 series

[dull garnet]

a 280X is basically just a 7970 lmao

[jaunty light]

yeah that's the problem with that generation all the way to like the 580 was the same

island this, island that

[dull garnet]

the hbm stuff was interesting but costly. i think my friend had a fury or a fury x and it didn't even have hdmi 2.0

🤡

of course they owned a 4K monitor, so 30Hz

[jaunty light]

i liked how tiny the fury pcb was

but there were some bad choices there

[dull garnet]

yeah that was cool

[jaunty light]

just like the new entry level card that is apparently missing all sorts of stuff

[jaunty light]

no av1 decoding or encoding for 264/265

[dull garnet]

really liked the cooler design

on the 480 too

[jaunty light]

nice and clean

8800 GTX destroyed the 2900

[umbral moss]

https://www.theverge.com/22872133/signal-cryptocurrency-payments-encryption-invite-regulator-scrutiny

anonymous wire transfers is basically free reign for criminals to do whatever they want

[compact minnow]

if they can't use messengers anymore they'll just stop using messengers

[umbral moss]

we can't police anything unless we have Total Control, therefore we should do Absolutely Nothing

I feel like I've heard that argument before 🤔

[dull garnet]

back to carrier pigeon

[umbral moss]

return to making drug deals and gun sales in duffels full of cash

just use crypto because nobody can find out who you are

yes, because all the cryptos that want to be traded have to comply with financial instrument legislation/regulations

like KYC

creating a financial instrument that doesn't comply with finra is asking for a much larger hammer to come down and smash everything

imagine having public accountability for your actions

the way signal instituted mobilecoin is intentionally designed to be anonymous end to end and tightly integrated to signal itself

creating a payment system that has KYC and anonymous messages would defeat the purpose of making a Crime App

er, I mean, an app for True Patriots fighting against unreasonable censorship and search/seizure

rolling anonymous messaging and payment systems into one place is like, literally perfect for circumventing money laundering and rico laws

anyone looking to organize, say, an assault on a government building could use signal to organize it (via messenger service) and fund it via crypto/payment system (using foreign nationstate funds, who knows? you certainly can't)

if signal wasn't used almost exclusively by alt-reich militias nobody would really care what they were doing

[modern iris]

Well this kinda sucks I'm playing on my surrface pro and it seems the best fps results is not full screen

How do I do that

[modest moss]

tried borderless windowed?

[modern iris]

......Intel unfortunately

[modest moss]

(try borderless windowed)

[modern iris]

Ok borderless windowed work

[modest moss]

nice

[modern iris]

Does compatibility mode work as well

Just so I can avoid my issue

[hard drift]

If it’s using intel you’re more than likely using an IGPU so your fps won’t be great no matter what you do

[modern iris]

You're right about that as it looks like borderless window and compatibility mode helped me out the best

[wide hill]

too bad signal literally can't do anything, other than that making a hijacked version of it. And as if people think like as if gpg/pgp didn't already exist.

and since it's open source, i don't think people would take well that someone has messed with the android app

[sly elk]

i love this design haha

[dull garnet]

dat 512 bit memory bus

they were good for synthetic benches at least

[teal fable]

depends how warm it is xD

[hard drift]

no way are your fans 120cfm

[odd sand]

I had a card with a shroud like that. Can't remember what model though ... maybe TNT 770 or something like that? It's been too long.

I had one of these babies as my first 3D GPU: http://www.vgamuseum.info/media/k2/items/cache/077ab55046ce80eaf9a3ddea999597ca_XL.jpg

I think 3Dlabs became Nvidia at some point after that.

http://www.vgamuseum.info/images/vlask/3dlabs/permedia2accelfb.jpg

Actually this particular model. Accelstar2 had 8mb of vram not like your puny 4mb models!

[hard drift]

yeah you were lied to lol, it goes up to that but those ones don't

[hard drift]

i'd want to see third party testing to believe these specs it seems off

[sly elk]

the 10 series were priced very nicely

remember the $199 1060

[hard drift]

it's better than the 1200 2080ti

[sly elk]

i miss cheap gpus

[hard drift]

the 3080ti msrp is cheaper than the 2080ti msrp

[sly elk]

for the FE

[hard drift]

yeah but that was the case back then too

[sly elk]

good luck finding a 3rd party 3080ti for less than 1400

[hard drift]

you still weren't getting most 2080tis for 1200

and when you were it was the shit models or just the FE

depends, you have strix cards so it would've been that way regardless lol

[sly elk]

hehe

so I guess list price for a 3080ti STRIX is $1999

[hard drift]

still overpriced

[sly elk]

but a white 3080 is 1159 and a black 3080 is 1099

yea I know

3080tis are for the pendejos who couldn't get a 3080

[hard drift]

white electronics are always more expensive

[sly elk]

wow they charge 75 bucks for the triple 8 pin strimer cable there

[hard drift]

not to mention a new 3080 is around the corner and nvidias lineup is just getting more confusing and shittier as time goes on

[sly elk]

lol I bought that for 58 >>

oh yea xD

[hard drift]

it's been a thing for a while lmao

[sly elk]

although the value thing applies there, too

[hard drift]

don't have to buy them to know

i always look at new tech/prices

[sly elk]

the 3080 was well under $1k

the 3080ti is like $1400

[hard drift]

man the gap between the rumored card and the 3080ti is decent... i imagine them releasing a 3080 super just to slot in between

it's a new card assumed to be announced in a few days

that's why people call them paper launches

[sly elk]

it'd be funny if it was more expensive than the 3080ti

[hard drift]

i'm predicting it to be 1k

no it isn't lmao

they aren't end of life but most likely going to be something below it but stacked between this new rumored card and the TI

[sly elk]

i would imagine

[hard drift]

the partner cards are already more than that for a 6800xt usually

[sly elk]

that they'll stop making the better value gpus 😄

[hard drift]

yup, hence why the 3090ti is coming into the market

strix and liquid cooled

1200 for a 6800xt 🤨 ???

just go for the 6800xt the 6900xt is a waste for performance gain

even still, a waste

an even bigger one there

no, the 6900xt

honestly speaking this late into the generation, don't even upgrade it's not like you need to
