They just.. reek of incompetence

[modest moss]

it's possible it was ram, but lol

[potent arrow]

They've replaced literally everything but motherboard

Ieven the fucking screen lmfao

Absolutely beautiful

[modest moss]

just send it back again when it inevitably errors again and when they replace mobo/cpu it'll be a brand new laptop

poggers

save Aoi money long term

[hard drift]

oh no, the cursed icon showed up

i don't want windows 11

[royal forge]

If they send me all the replaced parts i'll end up with 2 laptops

[modest moss]

they'll just reuse them in other RMAs

Good ol’ “error found between keyboard and chair” moment

[hollow hamlet]

So I have a 1080 gtx right now. I’m looking to upgrade as it’s showing signs of its age. My resolution for now is 3440x1440. I plan to get a standard monitor at what, 3800 or w/e soonish.

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-RTX-3070-Architecture/dp/B097MYTZMW

Is this a good upgrade?

Specifically my 1080 gtx is having issues with RE village, even on medium settings.

And I do plan to get RE4 remake

I know the 3070 can do ray tracing, but is this specific model/brand good?

[dull garnet]

i would make sure you're not hitting a video ram bottleneck

[hollow hamlet]

I know everyone talks about Msi laptops being top tier.

[dull garnet]

because you may well be at that resolution and game

[hollow hamlet]

I don’t have any other monitors and I plan on getting a standard res and larger monitor soon. As early as tomorrow

It’s also making a lot of noise when I play re village lol

[dull garnet]

okay well 3440x1440 is close to being 4K, and 8GB of video RAM isn't a whole lot

3070 should be a good amount faster than a 1080 but if video RAM is an issue you're in the same situation

[hollow hamlet]

[dull garnet]

like i said, i would check video ram usage with the current card

just remember my friend saying village used about 12GB on his 6800 XT

[real edge]

20gb? whaaa

I remember playing it on a 1070 at 1440p some months ago, odd

you use a 4k display?

[dull garnet]

3090 moment

[real edge]

what the fuck jesus

[dull garnet]

i guess it is probably like windows in a sense, uses more ram if it can

[modest moss]

unless you already said and I missed it, what's the rest of your hardware? cpu/ram/storage?

[hard drift]

honestly speaking, if you plan on using raytracing on something like village, you'd be best to avoid nvidia unless you go for a 10gb+ card because nvidia didn't really give a lot of vram and raytracing itself will tax the vram

the only way around that vram buffer would be if you play at a lower resolution such as 1080p but 1440p+ you'll be overcapping the vram on the card unless you turn down a few settings

[dull garnet]

i'd probably just buy that on ps4 pro honestly

900p30 lets goooooo

[hard drift]

i know for a fact that vram usage for 720p is a lie

that game even at 4k doesn't use that much vram

[real edge]

I saw usage of like 6gb on my 1070

yeah its just crazy to think about

[hard drift]

oh yeah and Nhadala, another reason zen4 on am4 is extremely unlikely is i doubt they would make pga cpus instead of the lga ones just for am4

[dull garnet]

didn't stop the chinese

[hard drift]

the chinese market is special tbf

[hollow hamlet]

GTX 1080, i9-10850K, like 32gb ram, ssd 256 or 500. One or the other lol

[modest moss]

would have thought a 3070 would be a decent upgrade if you can find a reasonably priced one yeah, if you're gonna go to 4k rather than 1440p I'd look for 3080 probably

[dull garnet]

still only 10gb

[hard drift]

yeah, nvidias line is pretty fucked if you want a decent amount of vram

[real edge]

a 1080 is already good enough for most games nowdays

[dull garnet]

yeah, 1080 is hardly a slouch

[real edge]

unpopular opinion maybe but I would suggest waiting for 4xxx

[dull garnet]

partially agree

[hard drift]

it's not unpopular lol

[real edge]

the current gpu prices are still high

ish

[hard drift]

it's too late to be upgrading unless you absolutely need it especially with the vram situation if you want to go green

[real edge]

and the 30 series is old already

(kind of)

[dull garnet]

you're right

it is

[real edge]

your pc is already good, wait for the 40 series and look at their prices and how much the 30 series will drop in price

[hard drift]

considering gpu generations are every 2 years it's "old"

[dull garnet]

paying full whack after 18 months (if you're lucky) isn't amazing

[real edge]

I have a 1070 at 1440p and I can play all games at 60+ fps

even at almost max settings sometimes

I am sure you can wait 6 months or so for the new gen with a more powerful cpu and gpu

[hollow hamlet]

The issue is the 1080 is making a lot of noise even with just YouTube open lol

[hard drift]

probably a fan dying?

they're usually easy enough to replace

like 5-10 dollars

[dull garnet]

might just need some lube

gotta be about 6 years old at this point

[hard drift]

and of course check dust buildup and such

[hollow hamlet]

Maybe it’s just the UW monitor

Oh I blow it out every now and the

[hard drift]

i mean does it sound like coil whine?

[dull garnet]

could check a fan curve if it is the fans

[hard drift]

if it's coil whine not much you can do

[hollow hamlet]

The fan is just spinning really fast

I can hear it over my noise cancelling headphones lol

[dull garnet]

that doesn't sound right

[hard drift]

maybe you're just focusing on it and it sounds a lot worse than it is 🤷‍♂️

[dull garnet]

i'd expect most video cards to have their fans turned off if a game isn't open also

[hard drift]

🤢 zero rpm modes

[dull garnet]

what's the matter kiddo

jealous?

[hard drift]

i hate zero rpm lol

i turn that shit off

[dull garnet]

"i love noise" -bidori, 2022

[hard drift]

i can't hear it over my regular fan lol

i can put my pc on full blast and i'd be okay for noise since i have the standing fan

Ababahahah

[hollow hamlet]

I built it to play doom 2016, and it worked flawlessly. However, Doom Eternal was chugging hard. Turning around too fast caused some hiccups, so I turned it down a bit, reduced particles or w/e, and while it ran, it wasn’t anywhere near what would compel me to buy the DLC.

Now that might be an UW monitor problem but I stopped googling it when I wanted to just finish it and be done with it. RIP doom eternal.

[dull garnet]

doom eternal isn't hard to run

wonder if that is a vram issue too 🤔

[hard drift]

if it is, a 3070 will help a bit just because of bandwidth but it's still going to be about the same

especially accounting for future games

[boreal surge]

Everyone: Sir please step away from the bomb

[hollow hamlet]

For something I play more of, Fortnite shadows are nonexistent. Water reflection minimal. Ground clutter medium.

[hard drift]

you can run that on a toaster

unless you turn rtx on

[hollow hamlet]

For FFxIv which I’m on every day, shadows and effects only for me, zero ground clutter, anything else and I start chugging hard

[dull garnet]

yeah that sounds broken

[hollow hamlet]

Like ffxiv is not anywhere near graphics intensive

[hard drift]

like low fps?

or just noise/fans

[hollow hamlet]

And the cpu, while on the budget end, should be fine

[dull garnet]

what power supply?

[hollow hamlet]

Fan noisy, room escalates from 76 to 82ish in about an hour or two,

CPU is something absurd like 1200 or some shit.

[hard drift]

what is your framerate and your refresh rate for the monitor

[hollow hamlet]

I was planning to get a 2nd 1080 but then I was like, no

[hard drift]

because if you're running 60hz and doing 200+ fps, limit your fps and a lot of it will be solved

[hollow hamlet]

I limited fps in Fortnite and it works, but with all the other options lowered as previously mentioned

FFXIV is limited to uhhh 60?

[hard drift]

using ingame limiter?

[hollow hamlet]

It can get to 170ish

Yeah in game

[hard drift]

turn that shit off

use nvidia control panel

[hollow hamlet]

[hard drift]

ingame limiter is literally shit

never use it

[hollow hamlet]

Ok I’ll figure this out tonight then. Still gonna get a new monitor because the gimmic of a curved screen is past me when a lot of the games I play have black borders lol

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/parks-and-rec-rob-lowe-chris-traeger-literally-gif-4913384

[hollow hamlet]

[hard drift]

the limiter is so bad that if you put it to 1/2 limit for a 144hz monitor it does 20fps

[hollow hamlet]

Lemme just @ myself so I remember where I left off @hollow hamlet

[hard drift]

i'll dm you for later

that should solve a lot though in terms of noise/heat or whatever else

but let us know later

[dull garnet]

still curious about psu

[hard drift]

i mean it's more than likely fine, you could do a 1080 on a lot more than if you went with newer cards

[hollow hamlet]

1280 or 1275

It’s one of those

[hard drift]

🤨

i mean that's more than enough but an odd amount

[hollow hamlet]

it’s a Corsair lemme alone

[hard drift]

that's not the problem

[dull garnet]

if anything it is 1200

[hard drift]

^

most of the time odd numbers are random ass psus

[hollow hamlet]

It’s 12 something I’m at work

[real edge]

I personally ran the game fine on my inferior pc, do you have a 4k monitor?

[hollow hamlet]

Tv for my ps5 is 4K, but my monitor is just a generic UW

[hollow hamlet]

Yeah that’s the one

[real edge]

lol my psu is a corsair HXi as well

yeah your game should be running fine

a tad odd that its chugging

[hollow hamlet]

I’m def not mining bitcoin with it while at work, it’s just normal wear and tear for 6 years of use

[real edge]

hmmm

I guess I got lucky then?

my psu is also the same age

gpu same age

[dull garnet]

run ddu, clean driver install

[real edge]

^

[hollow hamlet]

Isn’t gtx the budget brand of 1080?

[real edge]

also re-paste your gpu if you can

and cpu

no

gtx is all of the 10 series

[dull garnet]

all 1080 are basically the same

[hollow hamlet]

GTX 1080, i9-10850K, like 32gb ra

The cpu might be the bottle neck

[real edge]

definitely not

[hollow hamlet]

But you know what I’m out of thermal paste so it’s staying

Oh ok

[real edge]

have you repasted your gpu since you bought it

[hollow hamlet]

Repast it?

You mean unplug it?

[real edge]

repaste

open it up and put thermal paste on it and close it again

[hard drift]

gtx is the naming similar to rtx

[hollow hamlet]

Oh that sounds like trouble

[real edge]

tho by your cute questions I would defo looking up guides or getting a professional to do it for you

if it has been constantly running on your system for 6yrs

[hollow hamlet]

Everything in this current pc I put into the case myself

[hard drift]

letting someone else touch the pc smh

[hollow hamlet]

I bought all the individual pieces myself

[real edge]

[dull garnet]

you said it was 80 odd c under load?

completely normal for a 1080

[real edge]

yeah

esp with our high temperatures

in the globe

[hollow hamlet]

No that’s Fahrenheit. My ac is set to 76 Fahrenheit. An hour or two later my room cannot drop below 82 without my individual window ac unit blowing

I dunno what the gpu temp is lol

[hard drift]

holy shit 76f????

i'd die

[hollow hamlet]

Any lower and the bill skyrockets

[hard drift]

[hollow hamlet]

Like 20$ a week

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-fire-burn-flame-gif-5042503

[hollow hamlet]

Dropping it to 74? 60$ a week

[hard drift]

when you get home check your gpu temps in C and report back also try the tip for limiting fps to keep temps down

[hollow hamlet]

Will do!

[hard drift]

lets get that ac bill even lower 😎

[hollow hamlet]

To be fair to it though, my series x pisses out 110 degrees of heat playing a 360 game which also sends my room up to 82 in a few hours

Again in Fahrenheit, or freedom units as Hank refers to it

[hard drift]

that's not awful

[sly elk]

keiren have you cleaned your cpu cooler?

[hard drift]

?

[sly elk]

@tame fulcrum my lazy aio temps

[hollow hamlet]

If this just involves compressed air then yes

If you mean to repast it then no

I went from 1920x1080 to my current 3440x1440 UW. I want a monitor that can go to 3840 across since all that real estate is supremely nice. I don’t mind if the 1080 can only use 2560 or w/e 1440 or 1600 p is for gaming

As long as I can have 3840 for everything else like YouTube

[sly elk]

3840x1600?

looking at those 38" ones?

[hollow hamlet]

I don’t think I have the desk space for that

[hard drift]

monitor arm

[dull garnet]

2560x1600

[lost python]

so im looking for a wireless headset since my current one kinda gives me itchy ears

and

why the fuck are these pieces of absolute shit so expensive

[dull garnet]

I remember that brand from early Bluetooth headsets

[lost python]

we use them at work

and they are so cheap

cheap as in their quality is complete ass

i just want a light, on-ear headset for work calls but at this point it might be cheaper to get some gaming headset

smh

cant even find any good alternative because google is just full of wireless earbuds being recommended for work

[dull garnet]

Airpods pro

xd

[hard drift]

https://phys.org/news/2022-06-ultrathin-capacitor-enable-energy-efficient-microchips.html pretty interesting read

[bitter girder]

my beloved resolution

[wide hill]

is this how i do git flow? https://img.thaun.dev/448ru.png

#24 -> merges into /dev branch -> /staging -> /release

[sly elk]

easier to look at the graph

but it sounds like it, yes.

[wide hill]

i don't think i am sure about it, cause what i really want to do, is for the history to do a "copy" from staging -> release, without making that extra merge commit

cause, that extra merge commit isn't going back to staging.

[sly elk]

there's no need for it to? the merge is part of the history of the staging/release branches and is what you would reference if you were to tag it or whatever

[wide hill]

staging doesn't have the merge history when you merge into release

[sly elk]

even though I do this at work all the time, I honestly can't remember wtf it looks like right now XD

thaun what do you mean? when you merge branch B into branch A, it should grab all of changes that branch B had when it branched off from branch A

[wide hill]

yup, and when you complete the merge request, it adds a commit entry to the target branch

[sly elk]

sure but that only affects the target

i kinda wish I hadn't dragged that image into this but

[wide hill]

when you merge back again, then you got 2 commits that doesn't do anything

[sly elk]

when they merge the release branch into master for the first time

nah hang on

so when you merge release into master, it causes a commit on master. ye.

[wide hill]

yeah

https://img.thaun.dev/e4hgw.png

that is 3 commits into release

but only 2 commits in staging

[sly elk]

hmm. So you have dev at sha #1.
You merge it into staging. This produces sha #2 and both dev and staging now point at that.
You merge it into release. This produces sha #3 and both staging and release now point at that.

if staging and release start at the same point and release hasn't changed otherwise since the last merge, it will be a fast forward merge, so there might not be a new sha generated

[wide hill]

oh god, did i fuck up the history myself then

[sly elk]

if you have a relationship like that it won't produce a new sha

[wide hill]

cause i think i did a commit to release once, and then merged that into staging or dev

[sly elk]

that's ok

[wide hill]

oh?

well, i could just delete the 2 branches and try to remake the history

or i mean

base it from dev, and continue from there

k i did it

i purged the sickness from my repo

[boreal surge]

Aw I missed a conversation on version control wrangling

[wide hill]

oh nvm, it looks like it is just github's fault

searching up

[sly elk]

-tries to draw some shit up in draw.io-

[wide hill]

github doesn't support pull request fast forwarding

i have to do it, by command line 😩

[sly elk]

that's pretty funny

[wide hill]

When you select the Rebase and merge option on a pull request on GitHub.com, all commits from the topic branch (or head branch) are added onto the base branch individually without a merge commit. In that way, the rebase and merge behavior resembles a fast-forward merge by maintaining a linear project history. However, rebasing achieves this by re-writing the commit history on the base branch with new commits.

[sly elk]

so uh

i'm glad my case has a tinted window lmao

pft I could put the window from the other side of the case on the front

that one has a crazy pattern on it

backside has this

it's kinda like what phanteks does but worse

except, at least it's on the back xD

oooo this dude

did dual 360s and a 240mm in there

I wasn't sure you could fit a 360mm in there comfortably on the front

thought i'd do it by putting the fans on the inside of the frame

no way that'd cost a grand or so :S

yea that would have me most of the way towards a new cpu/ram/mobo

awesome

and i'm planning to stick with that case

it always did lol

[sly elk]

fancy corsair cables came!

[hollow hamlet]

Ok so I’m about to head home, but I’ve narrowed my choices for monitors down to 3. Two would require a wall-arm or a stand, since my space on my desk is crap. My desk probably isn’t strong enough for a desk arm. How difficult is it to find the studs in the wall?

The two that require the wall arm are objectively superior, but if I would need a professional installation then nope lol

[modest moss]

ask Hank this when he's around, or Sarah

[hollow hamlet]

K Ty

Oh dear god the wall mount systems are not cheap

Ok, seated on the desk works

[potent arrow]

You can find studs with your barehands. If you knock horizontally against the drywall you will hear hollow sounds untill you are right above a stud

Mark where you think the stud is

Then knock 16 inches ish in the other direction

If you find another 16 inches from where you found it, you found a stud

That's all it is

[hard drift]

If your desk isn’t strong enough get a plate to help reinforce the clamped area

That’s what i did for my desk

[modest moss]

16 inch stud, oh my

sorry

[umbral moss]

some people pay extra for that

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-george-takei-wink-gif-5296452

[modest moss]

[hollow hamlet]

Oh I was gonna rent a stud finder, but that seems to work!

Also, just sent max FPS to 60 via nvidia control panel

[umbral moss]

just put an ad on the internet looking for hot moms in your area

[sly elk]

You can get them for like less than 10 bucks sometimes lol

[umbral moss]

especially now since people don't do shit themselves anymore

"what's a stud finder"

"how is house formed"

[hollow hamlet]

oh my god my monitor is a 60hz one

[umbral moss]

poggin

[hollow hamlet]

I coulda sworn it was 120 or something

Well, shit

[hard drift]

that's fine how's the temps while gaming

[umbral moss]

enjoy the slowness

[hard drift]

60 is just fine if you don't know what 120+ is like lol

[umbral moss]

take the extra 9ms per frame to regret your life decisions

[hollow hamlet]

dunno, trying to see which app will let me see them that isnt bloat ware

[umbral moss]

[hard drift]

hwmonitor

[umbral moss]

in any non-gaming scenario high refresh rate is useless lmao

[hard drift]

true but even for gaming, 120 is nice but not needed if you don't know what you're missing

[umbral moss]

the only advantage it has is in BIDYA GAMEN because it lowers the latency between the game and the player

[modest moss]

https://www.hwinfo.com/ I prefer

[umbral moss]

I mean, if you had a high refresh CRT back in the day you absolutely know what you're missing

[hollow hamlet]

uh right now it's 44c with discord open

[modest moss]

44c is nothing

[hard drift]

that's fine

[hollow hamlet]

lemme load up into a good game like fortnite. Lemme drop into a big area, one sec,

see if forcing a lock at 60 fps via nvidia control panel does anything

[umbral moss]

it should

[hard drift]

it for sure does

[umbral moss]

limiting FPS also limits power consumption

[modest moss]

fortnite isn't a heavy game and your setup should do 1440p 60fps easy

[hollow hamlet]

I have it locked via in-game options to 240 fps

[umbral moss]

poggin

[hard drift]

[umbral moss]

waste of time playing a kid's game at 240 fps

[hollow hamlet]

350 makes it chug haaard

[hard drift]

max you should have anyways for a 60hz monitor is 120fps

and that's purely for input latency supposedly

[modest moss]

shit I have an i5 4690k, 16gb ram and a gtx 1080 and I just cap it at 75fps to match my monitor with everything on ultra at 1080p

your hardware should be comfy at 1440p

maybe you're a sweat and play on competitive settings idk

[hollow hamlet]

so if I set "unlimited" in FPS the nividia control panel set to 60 overrides it, yes?

[hard drift]

i believe so

[modest moss]

should do yes

[hollow hamlet]

ok set it to unlimited, let's see what happens

65c on the play screen, t-t-time to enter a match

[hard drift]

65c is fine

[modest moss]

65c isn't hot

[hollow hamlet]

back to windowed full screen, 67c. Loading into a match now

[hard drift]

and if you really want to lower temps the next complicated step is undervolting

[modest moss]

I have XIV running and my 1080 is at 65c

[hard drift]

model matters tbf

[modest moss]

1080p though, so if you push to 1440p it'll go up a bit

eh not much difference

[hard drift]

depends, if they went cheapest of cheap it will

[umbral moss]

65C

time to watercool

[hard drift]

it's fine

[hollow hamlet]

73c

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/if-you-only-knew-the-power-dark-side-gif-10061896

[hard drift]

that's still fine

[modest moss]

mine is Asus Strix, so it should cool ok

[hard drift]

yours yeah strix is pretty good

[modest moss]

hotspot is 76c, gpu overall 65c

Kieran are you telling us just GPU temp or GPU hotspot

[hollow hamlet]

80c running around the cave

[hard drift]

what're you using to read the temps?

[hollow hamlet]

uh microsoft task manager

[hard drift]

that does hotspot

or atleast mine is

so if your hotspot is 80c odds are your gpu is around 65-70c

would look something like this if you use hwmonitor or something else

now the real question is, is your gpu still chugging/noisy keiren?

[hollow hamlet]

atm no

[hard drift]

how long did you have to be gaming for it to be chugging/noisy

[hollow hamlet]

seeing screen tearing >.>

[hard drift]

wtf 🤨

turn on adaptive refresh rate/gsync?

it should not be tearing if your monitor is 60hz and you're at 60fps

[hollow hamlet]

is that in control panel?

[modest moss]

shit I just use vsync in fortnite settings iirc

[hard drift]

control panel, monitor settings, or windows in graphic settings i believe

[hard drift]

vsync increases latency

[modest moss]

it's fortnite

[hard drift]

😭 trying to help keiren go pro /s

[hollow hamlet]

im not seeing adaptive, where is it?

[hollow hamlet]

nvidia control panel?

[hard drift]

is your monitor even capable?

[hollow hamlet]

I dont even know how to ge to that screen lol

[hard drift]

type in the search bar "graphics settings"

otherwise right click desktop, open display settings, then scroll down and click graphic settings

[modest moss]

you can set it in nvidia control panel

adaptive vsync

[hollow hamlet]

ok found it via ctrl on desktop

[modest moss]

Bidori, thoughts on hardware accelerated gpu scheduling

[hard drift]

I only just noticed I have it as an option

and I'm like hmm, my gpu is better than my cpu

might be helpful

[hard drift]

we'll never know

[hollow hamlet]

ok adaptive w/e enabled, relaunching to see if screen tearing persists

[hard drift]

you got this

[hollow hamlet]

Hmph.

We shall see.

nope still tearing

didn't do this before I limited to 60fps

[hard drift]

and you're sure your monitor is 60hz?

it's not limited by a cable or something?

[hollow hamlet]

dell u3415w

[hard drift]

and you're sure it's tearing and not ghosting?

[hard drift]

turn the nvidia limiter to 85 and see if that helps

[hollow hamlet]

I dunno what ghosting is, but horizontal lines are tearing across the screen

[hard drift]

okay yeah, turn the limiter to 85 and see if that does anything

[modest moss]

I would suggest turning off the frame limiter and just trying it with adaptive vsync

[hollow hamlet]

doesbnt show up in screenshot lol

raising to 85 helped some, but not much

still persists, just not as bad

[hard drift]

weird, if i read it properly your monitor is 85hz, did you change it in display settings as well?

does it even show up there

[modest moss]

it's 60hz from what I read

[hard drift]

this is what i read on it

[modest moss]

http://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u3415w.htm

[hard drift]

very weird

[hollow hamlet]

so what you're telling me is I have a unique issue

[modest moss]

that's from the actual dell manual

[hard drift]

so weird

[modest moss]

https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_display_projector/esuprt_display/dell-u3415w-monitor_user's guide_en-us.pdf

[hollow hamlet]

if you're confused i'm more confused

[hard drift]

lol

[jaunty light]

europeans aren't allowed to have monitors

[hollow hamlet]

so is 60hz bad? The monitors I was looking at are all 60hz

[potent arrow]

i still use 60hz

1080p 60hz nerd

[modest moss]

now I've noticed shadows being weird in XIV

like they'll shimmer, and after a bit fully load and settle

like tree shadows

[potent arrow]

Game is probably using some shit ass old ass shadow engine crap

The anti aliasian in this game is fucking beautiful

[hard drift]

No it’s fine, just higher refresh rate ones are cheapish these days but for higher resolutions it’s iffy on price

If you don’t know higher than 60 and don’t care, don’t worry about it.

[hollow hamlet]

[umbral moss]

static lightmaps that give the illusion of real-time shadows

the only z-stenciling is player models and it's using techniques from 2013 because that's when the engine was designed

[modest moss]

@hollow hamlet was going to play fortnite but there's a big update and I blame you

[hollow hamlet]

I don't wanna give up all these pixel real estate, but all the monitors I see that allow for 3440 or higher are like 800$ wtf

[modest moss]

what exactly is wrong with your fancy monitor anyway

this started as you wanting to upgrade gpu I thought

and now you want a monitor

[hollow hamlet]

It's an UW monitor. The black bars on the sides are annoying me to no end

[modest moss]

and I'm confused

[hollow hamlet]

Oh, no, I wanted a monitor period

[potent arrow]

Imagine living in 2022 and no games support UW

[hollow hamlet]

The GPU was an after though, but with the 40 series launching in october, I guess i'll wait and get a 3080ti

[potent arrow]

(I suffer the UW life too)

i wont ever give it up tho

[modest moss]

so are you gonna sell that uw then?

looks like you can get 300 or more on ebay

[hollow hamlet]

I was actually planning to throw it into the garbage, but I'm told that might be illegal

[modest moss]

what don't toss it, it's valuable

jesus

[hollow hamlet]

recycle, shmycle

[potent arrow]

send it to me

Ill rehome it to some nerd

[hollow hamlet]

I like 3440, but not alot of games like the 1440 lol

[potent arrow]

imagine playing anything but ffxiv

[modest moss]

why are you a reindeer in june though

@hollow hamlet WHY

[hollow hamlet]

I'm a cute midlandeer

[modest moss]

oh god

blocking you

[hollow hamlet]

[paper tusk]

it's deferred rendering since they went overboard to optimize for ps3 (so AA is a post processing efx). the only real fix is to put the rendering pipeline in a shredder and copy pasta vulkan sample code

[sly elk]

AHHHH

DONE

I don't ever want to do that again

honestly the best/worst part is I bet it won't impress anyone. and that's fine. I just wanted the back door of my case to close

honestly if I had some more cable tie velcro I could bundle up the struff at the bottom and it'd look better

yep. needs more velcro.

[dull garnet]

jeebus

that's 6 more rgb modules than i have in my case :p

[sly elk]

lol

the horrible downside to RGB

[lost python]

Are those like 5 RGB/fan controllers? Do you have 20 fans in your case?

There are so many cables it looks like 2 PCs in one case.
Also show front

[sly elk]

lol there's only 9 fans

one of the rgb controllers is handling the strimer cables and the RGB LED strips I have in the case

[lost python]

Wait

Aren't the bottom fans entirely useless?

[sly elk]

nope

in fact, those have the biggest affect on temps

[lost python]

How is it pulling anything from the warm PSU enclosure

[sly elk]

the psu intake is on the bottom, it sucks air in and then exhausts it out the back

the bottom of the case is a frame with 2 huge mesh filters lol

[lost python]

It's all cables there

[sly elk]

not really

there are a few under the fans but not enough to cause airflow issues

that said, the case would be more effective at cooling if the front was mesh lol

[dull garnet]

Only 9

[sly elk]

ahhh

i posted it in /r/corsair and got roasted and criticized 😄

good.

I fucking hate reddit and I can't get off it.

[sharp star]

ngl I would roast your build too

[sly elk]

it's quite shit, isn't it.

[sharp star]

mhm.

[sly elk]

fuck you

[odd sand]

This is my least favorite thing about modern cases. The front looks so sleek, but the back is a nightmare like tossing all your toys into the closet and shutting the door

[sharp star]

you can be like NZXT and for the longest time refuse to make airflow cases

[sly elk]

idk

ruined my night 😄

I make my computer beautiful and the majority of people hate it and say bad things about it 😄

motherfuckers

[sharp star]

I like function over form so yeah that’s why I said I’d roast it

[sly elk]

i like function and form

I don't understand why I'd spend over a hundred bucks on a metal mesh box

might as well just leave the computer parts sitting out on the table smh

what'd ya do get a FrAcTaL dEsIgN mEsHiFy?

but why do people have to be such a fucking asshole to people just because they'd do it differently

why is that ok?

like great, you have no RGB and a generic black box

fantastic. beautiful. Seriously.

why ya gotta go around shitting on people who have RGB?

[odd sand]

What were they riffing on? The RGB?

[sly elk]

Yea actually posted the back of my build on reddit and got multiple people asking why so many wires/hubs

xD

I could have eliminated exactly 1 hub. wooo!

[sharp star]

RGB looks nice but is overdone by big-name companies which is why I have a distaste for it

I can tolerate RGB to an extent but I want my build to have as few lights as possible

[sly elk]

Ya know what dude

I am finding this topic so repulsive

[lost python]

i just really hate rainbow rgb

[sly elk]

that I am tempted to part my PC out, sell it, go back to macs

and never fucking hear about fuckign RGB being bad again

I'm tired of it.

[lost python]

[sly elk]

My goodness, I thought the mac crowd was bad, the PC building crowd is as toxic as like the tesla crowd or something

[dull garnet]

Deleted my account after realising everyone in the retro gaming subreddits is like 20 years old

[sly elk]

meh

I will try to avoid talking about my PC on the internet ever again.

[odd sand]

https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/22/ipados-16-no-ipad-home-hub-support/

Because fuck you, that's why? I don't see the point in removing functionality that already worked and telling ppl to buy a new piece of hardware to get it back

[royal forge]

Alright.

My laptop is supposedly coming back

https://tenor.com/view/oh-popcorn-eating-gif-18107571

Ooo refaced

No wonder he looked funny

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-eating-popcorn-gif-4669232

Yep

[sharp star]

I dunno if anyone pointed it out but your laptop is absolutely cursed

[royal forge]

Im aware.

Sarah is aware

Shue is aware

It just seems the fuckin clowns who are fixing it arent

[potent arrow]

I fucking hate RGB, but Idc if people get it(I actually prefer if they do because I make more money that way). I also find the "PCMR" a bunch of toxic elitist teens who know nothing.

[royal forge]

What? Big subreddit being elitists????

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-oop-what-was-that-charlamagne-gif-17387330

[potent arrow]

90% of those people are whiney fucks who upgrade their computers every year because chase trends and participate in circle jerks like anti RGB

[royal forge]

Really? Thats not an ok gif?

Yeah. PCMR is kinda nuts

Buildapc is p aite

I was around for hydrogen peroxide guy

[potent arrow]

I prefer a small sff with no RGB, but fuck who cares what other people's build is as long as they are happy with it. Plus if you are going to critic someone's build, atleast make it constructive

[royal forge]

Im not too keen on sff due to upgrade space

Like, i dont like cramped appearance

If that makes sense

[potent arrow]

Buy the right case and not worry about upgrade space : D

Like my case will fit the fattest card

[royal forge]

Recommend me one. I was looking at Lian Li cases and they are CHONKY

[potent arrow]

Mmmm

[royal forge]

There was one of those fuckers with space for a water cooling loop and that was the size of my luggage bag

[potent arrow]

I mean if you wait a bit my case is getting a sequel

[royal forge]

Im waitin till the 4000 series

[potent arrow]

But for everyone's like

First SFF case

Get the cooler master NR200P

literally cannot go wrong

Meshlicious and H1 V2 for towers

[royal forge]

Why?

Ah

[potent arrow]

Why?

[royal forge]

It does look rather slick

[potent arrow]

NR200 is the best middle ground between price, compactness and ease of build

[royal forge]

But it does look cramped tho

Saying this as an idiot who put an mATX into a NZXT H440

[potent arrow]

It's very easy to build in

Trust me

It's alot more roomy then my case

Watch this

https://youtu.be/TUO59lwdB9I

[royal forge]

Ooo thanks

I did also look into case modding but more for style

I was imagining a transforming case like Unicorn

[potent arrow]

I mean that's a pretty big project

[royal forge]

https://tenor.com/view/unicorn-gundam-gundam-robot-gif-15400886

Like it popping outward

I would think its doable with servos

Defo not load bearing

[potent arrow]

This is the second version of my case
https://youtu.be/mTt0KQm4TXw

[royal forge]

Have green LEDs behind transparent plastic for psychofrane

[potent arrow]

If you want cramped look at this

Mines about as cramped too

[royal forge]

Harrrd pass

[potent arrow]

Small

[royal forge]

Sorry, i get really yikes with cramped stuff

[potent arrow]

Why

It's perfectly fine in the right case and planned out airflow

Mines an OC 3900x with an aoi and I'm missing like two fans and I'm fine

Not a case I would recommend for beginners tho

[royal forge]

Wow how did you get an aoi to fit in there

Bet they went to steal your pc cause their laptop wasnt workin

[potent arrow]

Huh?

Oh

Kl

I'm tired

Lol

[royal forge]

Kek

[potent arrow]

6 am

Ok

[royal forge]

Haha

Go sleep

Imma browse cases

[potent arrow]

Nah drinking coffee and doing finanicals

[royal forge]

Ouch

[potent arrow]

Budgeting so I can go back here

[royal forge]

Did you see the asmodeus HG btw

[potent arrow]

Yep!

[royal forge]

Im tempted

But hg

[potent arrow]

Yeah :/

It's been a month and I'm not done my pg unicorn yet

So I've been holding off

[royal forge]

Is pg the one eith changing lights

[potent arrow]

I mean if you buy the light kit

[royal forge]

Or red

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/IshF_7teljk

[royal forge]

Ah. My bad. I meant MGEX

MGEX is a monster

[potent arrow]

That's the one my gf is building

The mgex verkaa

I prefer my PG because of the unchained look

Mines alos a lot bigger

[royal forge]

She doing any scribing/paint?

[royal forge]

Really? I thought mgex was 1/100 while PG was 1/144

[potent arrow]

Mgex is mini pg

[royal forge]

Wait fuck

RG is 1/144

[potent arrow]

Both of ours are in parts

Because we do paneling, painting, wearing etc

[royal forge]

I dont plan for weatherin for mine when i buy it

Supposed to be perfect and all that

[potent arrow]

I don't like the power scaling in unicorn

I would think it'll be so beat up after something like Torrington lol

[royal forge]

Das true

But

WOooOoOoO New Type OOOoOOoO

New Type fuckery

[potent arrow]

Bannagher could move objects but I doubht that guy could put up newtype shields

[royal forge]

I do love the Torrington scene

[potent arrow]

I think Bannagher is the most powerful newtype?

[royal forge]

https://youtu.be/RIVVAsMTP1A

Supposedly

[potent arrow]

I mean he's fucking insane

Camille would have to be the second most powerful me thinks

Mmm

Maybe judau...

[royal forge]

Ugh. Now imma go rewatch Unicorn

[potent arrow]

ZZ was fucking weird I need to rewatch that and Thunderbolt

I'm just sitting here vibinf for part two of Hathaway's flash

I need to see Hathaway's Gundam in a proper fight

[royal forge]

Sarah, quick Q, Unicorn PG, does the psychoframe parts come in red?

Thats what you have, i assume? Or is it the perfectbility one

[potent arrow]

Yesh

The phychoframe is red

Oh right

Here's it worn
https://youtu.be/epg8k7OagfI

[royal forge]

Ooo

Cant change colors then

[potent arrow]

I mean there are versions with different color phychoframes

[royal forge]

Wait ehat the fuck the LEDs costs HOW much?!

Still

[potent arrow]

Btw if you are hard pressed on money, my pg costed 300$, the RG version is literally the same

Transforms and all

And only 60$

Just smaller

[royal forge]

Nah. Im goin for the mgex

[potent arrow]

$$$$$

[royal forge]

But i wanna wait till im more confident

Im gonna wait for my rg sazabi restock

MAYBE a GM Sniper

Or a sleeves model

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/cmvaJDV9hcA

That's why I recc this

God my favorite rg

The RG new Gundam might take it's spot tho

[royal forge]

You mean the one from Witch?

Or somethin i missed?

I actually kinda prefer the green rather than the red, which is why i want the mgex

To have both

[potent arrow]

No amuros from chars counter attack...

[royal forge]

OH

Nu gundam

FFS sarah

You mean this?

I've not done panel lining yet. Waitin on sazabi

[lost python]

Oh I'm building that one

[potent arrow]

yeee

[royal forge]

Its a wonderful build

I spent QUITE a while losing my shit at the articulation

A BIT sad no MG posable hands but i get it

But you gotta pair it with a Sazabi RG

The only reason why i went RG rather than Ver Ka was cuz I heard the Sazabi Ver Ka was less than great

[lost python]

I'm thinking about repainting mine when I am done but not sure yet

[royal forge]

Keep one in ori color

[lost python]

I don't like the "toy" look the have by default

[royal forge]

Wdym?

The white?

[lost python]

It looks like a kids toy

The plastic, the colors etc

[royal forge]

A matt coat might help

I was debating painting the yellow bits to gold and the reds a deeper red

[dull garnet]

Thought that was your stomach

[royal forge]

What, the bottom thing?

Just this

[potent arrow]

Panel wash it

[lost python]

Maybe

Still tempted to also repaint it with less popping colors and add details like scratches, dirt, etc

[royal forge]

Ooof panel wash is a hassle tho

[potent arrow]

It really isn't : P

[royal forge]

But its the only way to get proper weatherin

[royal forge]

For me it is. Gotta ship it from afar and prices.. oof

[potent arrow]

I use paints from local and lighter fluid

[royal forge]

Does it play nice with acrylics?

I can only use acrylics since no spray booth

[umbral moss]

pro tip if you want to brush with spraypaint, spray your paint on a piece of glass and add some mineral spirits to thin the emulsion a little

lasts a pretty long time before it finally dries and it usually gets thin enough to not leave brush marks

[deep sapphire]

Look @modest moss

It’s peas!

green giant

Lmao can’t tell you I’ve only been here a year I wouldn’t know how they did things differently

[hard drift]

probably found a cheaper/new supplier

same thing some places here did for their store brands 😭

[deep sapphire]

Not a huge difference between brands we produce product for several brands, higher tier brands usually get fresher product and a specific brine solution but it’s not like you would notice it that much
