Use it with your current build

[fair parcel]

did you buy the other stuff or just the GPU so far

[modest moss]

Today in pointless effort

[hard drift]

That’s quick and easy

[modest moss]

Yeah just gpu, got one at msrp

[fair parcel]

nice what did you scoop

[hard drift]

Plus gotta test if it works :p

[potent arrow]

IM JOOOOHN MADDDDEEEEN

[modest moss]

3070ti fe

[fair parcel]

very nice

[modest moss]

And I'd rather not put it in a box with an ancient psu bidori, don't even know if I have 2x pcie cables for it

[hard drift]

Fine 😔

Cant get over how sexy the case looks

[modest moss]

hurrah for impulse buying random ssd

[hard drift]

What’d you get?

[modest moss]

1TB WD Blue SN570

it was on offer

I will use it as main drive if there's no good offer on a better one

but it was like £67, seemed a decent price to just have as secondary nvme

[hard drift]

It’s a decent nvme

Wd has been under fire for changing things like the memory controller or something like that

But from my experience nothing bad

Gave one to my brother as a bday gift and it seems to do fine

[modest moss]

I figured if I can get a good price on 980 pro I'd get one, if not this'd be fine and cheap enough that if it ends up additional game storage it's all good

[hard drift]

I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily worth it if for increased price, the wd one should be fine

[hard drift]

Nice

[modest moss]

interestingly they're still in stock in nvidia store

[fair parcel]

Pretty

[hard drift]

I told you, you’d be okay lol

Stock is overwhelming for nvidia because nobody is really buying now

That’s why they cut next gen production

[modest moss]

I should just not look at stock or prices for gpus now lol

[hard drift]

Lol

I mean i still do

For over a year now

[dull garnet]

flooded used market, new cards on the horizon

plenty of reasons they'd still be in stock :p

[modest moss]

shut up speedy

build my pc

tell me what to buy

log out

AAAHHHHHHH

[dull garnet]

still think the 3060 ti is the best value card

[odd sand]

Truck didn't even look more than 1-3 years old so I wonder what happened heh

[hard drift]

Nah, 3070-3080 is best value despite vram considering what the 1080-1080ti was

[modest moss]

I still can't decide on a cpu

[dull garnet]

i just don't think the 3070 is all that 🤷‍♂️

[dull garnet]

a cheap 5800X

[modest moss]

should I spend more and get i7

[hard drift]

Considering how shit 20 series was i mean….

[modest moss]

these nerds told me 5800x sucks

[hard drift]

It’s bad value when 5800x3d exists plus it’s hotter than 5900x usually

[modest moss]

£261 vs £430

[hard drift]

Yeah that’s the only problem

[modest moss]

5900x is £382

huge differences

[hard drift]

Cpu market still fucked for you 😭

[modest moss]

12700 is 340

idk if i7 is worth it for me

12700f is 317

[real edge]

well, am5 and raptor lake is going to release soon

[hard drift]

Never go first gen of the platform

[real edge]

unless you already have am4 then getting a new am4 is not worth it this late into its lifespan

[modest moss]

but 12400 is only £190, that might be best bet anyway

[hard drift]

They’ve already said they’re continuing it, so still worthwhile to see what they bring

[hard drift]

12400/600 would be best

Just make sure it’s the k model for the efficiency cores for extra longevity even if you get a non Z chipset

[modest moss]

can I be bothered to overclock, probably not straight away, but maybe later so the z690/12600k could be valid

[hard drift]

Even if not overclocking the K has a purpose now atleast

Even on other chipsets

[modest moss]

I am drawn to the fact the 12600k is the current equivalent of the 2500k which is still running fine for me on my spare box

[real edge]

the only caviat is that 12xxx needs windows 11

[odd sand]

Was thinking about doing a custom loop like Ice did, but goddamn is that a lot of money:

[modest moss]

it does?

[hard drift]

No it doesn’t

It was proven to make little to no difference

[real edge]

I've heard that it does need it tho, wtf is all of my knowledge lol

[dull garnet]

buy a cheap motherboard

[modest moss]

that is a ton of cash, what will you gain?

[dull garnet]

don't oc

[odd sand]

Granted, I already have 3 front case fans, so I don't think I need those in this recommendation, and I might also have an iCue Commander module as well

[hard drift]

Nah the task scheduler handles it better but not needed

[real edge]

I was under the impression that 12xxx was windows 11 only because of the way their cores work

[hard drift]

There’s tons of videos on it

[odd sand]

I never really messed around with the RGB so I dont remember which module I have

[modest moss]

you think b660m/12400?

[dull garnet]

i'd probs go 12600k for ~balance~

[modest moss]

then the extra 80 quid for a z690 would be logical

[odd sand]

So if I dropped those out of the invoice it would be more like $450. I wanted to get it ahead of 13900 this fall bc I predict stock of stuff will become scarce so better to plan ahead

[dull garnet]

how so?

[modest moss]

nerdori said I need z chipset for ecores

[dull garnet]

ohh, well okay then

[hard drift]

No

I didn’t say that

I said K processor for e cores

Z chipset is only for overclocking

[modest moss]

oh hmm

[odd sand]

I currently have a 10 year old H100i on my 9900K, so I'd rather leave that with the CPU since its only 240mm and get a new one with the 360mm rad bc I assume the 13900K will need better cooling than that

[hard drift]

And z gives extra pcie lanes but that’s moot when you’re not needing all of them

If you want lanes and no overclocking there’s h70 chipset or whatever it is

[odd sand]

That is true, but board makers tend to also put the better features only in the Z boards as well. IE: could you get B660 with 2.5gbe, wifi, etc.

[hard drift]

Most people don’t need 2.5gbe

A lot of places are barely getting one lol

[modest moss]

if I'm not overclocking, is hyper 212 enough for 12600k on a b660m?

[dull garnet]

yea

[hard drift]

I’d go for a bit heavier on cooling

But yeah

[real edge]

intel stuff runs hot

[dull garnet]

cringe!

how the turntables

[real edge]

hyper 212 may be ok to run at base clocks or a tad higher but you will not get much more out of it

I think

[modest moss]

interesting, the cheapest asus b660m is only 40-50 cheaper than an asus z690

[dull garnet]

probably need new mounting hw

[hard drift]

Yeah but 40-50 that you could splurge on cooler

[odd sand]

Yeah prices on 12th gen are pretty bork bc of covid shortages and tariffs

I'm hoping board prices are a bit more reasonable for 13th

[real edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NsFuNqINww

[hard drift]

Tariffs were fixed for the most part until the end of this year

[odd sand]

MSI Pro-A w/e 11th gen are $125, the same board for 12th gen was like $215

[real edge]

there, video on cheap cpu coolers

[modest moss]

maybe this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LXHm3y

[odd sand]

I have a new in box Hyper 212 if you want to buy it off me. Didn't fit my server so its been collecting dust bc I waited too long to return it

[hard drift]

Yeah, that’ll do 🙏

[modest moss]

it'd cost more to ship to UK than the £28 for new

[hard drift]

Lmao

Sad but true

[dull garnet]

CL18

[modest moss]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DtJ3H2 maybe that, add in a 980 pro

[modest moss]

what's wrong with the ram

[hard drift]

It’s fine for on a budget

Most people it won’t make a meaningful difference

[dull garnet]

you should be able to get 3600 CL16 "on a budget"

[real edge]

the dark rock pro 4 is good got overpriced, get the scythe fuma 2 or the deepcool AK620 instead

[odd sand]

I'd actually prefer 10gbe bc I'm going to get a new switch in planning for an eventual NAS in the next year

[modest moss]

bidori told me the dark rock pro 4 is as good as the noctua dh15

[dull garnet]

I have had my eye on a AK620, but really my 5600X kicks out so little heat it is a bit moot

[hard drift]

it is, they're just talking price

[real edge]

yeah but those are old at this point and cost too much

[dull garnet]

i member when D15 cost £70

😳

[modest moss]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#Z=32768002&sort=price&page=1

which ram

[hard drift]

they're like 6 pound cheaper

so it's a meaningless difference pretty much between the 3

[real edge]

the fuma 2 is like 50 euro here

[hard drift]

this is for shue pricing

65 pound

[dull garnet]

i looked, looks like my info is outdated

😔

[hard drift]

yeah, especially in 16 gb sticks it gets pricey real quick

[real edge]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEEPCOOL-AK620-Cooler-Heatpipes-Dual-Tower/dp/B09CKXT4FH/ref=sr_1_2?crid=27BL4H3FDI43O&keywords=deepcool+ak620&qid=1656957864&sprefix=deepcool+%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-2

[dull garnet]

maybe that is why

[hard drift]

that's why cl 18 is worth it vs 16

[real edge]

55 pounds

[dull garnet]

i doubt shue will use 32gb t b h but i understand the want for it

[hard drift]

it's to cover the vram bottlenecks in the future

[modest moss]

I am being pressured into learning ue5

so ram would be cool

[hard drift]

because lets be honest, 8gb is going to get outdated pretty quick

[modest moss]

and I figured 3600 was more important that CL

[hard drift]

the consoles have more than that by a bit and given consoles usually drive next gen specs for games goodbye 30 series because of vram

[hard drift]

the speed is generally yeah

[dull garnet]

it is a bit of both

3600 CL18 is basically just 3200 CL16

[hard drift]

CL does make a difference but not enough to justify say a 50 pound increase or something

[hard drift]

if going intel though, won't make much difference

[dull garnet]

guess that's true

[real edge]

I held off on buying a 5800x or the x3d(due to price) so I am curious as to what new toys amd can come up with on this aging platform

[modest moss]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Y9QcCJ/kingston-fury-renegade-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-kf436c16rb1k232

there's 3600/16 for 12 quid more

[hard drift]

then yeah, get that

[modest moss]

or corsair is 142

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/9392FT/corsair-vengeance-lpx-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-cmk32gx4m2d3600c16

[hard drift]

well the rumor is new x3d coming for am4 but we'll see

i'd go for kingston just to save more

not like there is going to be much difference anyways

[modest moss]

I like corsair, usually reliable for me

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2ZfTPX

[hard drift]

i mean that's up to you, it is your money after all lol

[modest moss]

I should watch a review of that case

[hard drift]

i went cheap on my ram and it works fine for me

h510 flow is good, h510 regular is shit

[dull garnet]

kingston r gud tbh

[hard drift]

that's the moral of the review

[real edge]

1k pounds seems so expensive without a gpu, prices have gone to shit lol

[modest moss]

I meant more like, fit in fat fingers

[hard drift]

that's with gpu

oh wait nvm

[dull garnet]

nope

[modest moss]

no this'll be near £1600

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/sheeesh-sheesh-gif-22353817

[modest moss]

idk maybe I can skip the 980 pro like bidori says

[dull garnet]

do you earn samsung ssd money

[hard drift]

i mean 1600 that lasts going based on your current pc like 6+ years is pretty good

[real edge]

you can save a few pounds here and there on that build without losing any worthwhile performance

[modest moss]

Ice send me your dh15 for free

you know it's just in a drawer

[hard drift]

get another wd blue and save 50 pounds

[modest moss]

but the 980 pro is 2x the speed and pcie4

[real edge]

do you need the speed

[hard drift]

the 2x speed will not be noticeable for you 99% chance

[modest moss]

I've never had an MSI board and that scares me

[real edge]

"do I really need this" is the question here for some of those choices

[dull garnet]

love my msi board

[hard drift]

ssds are so quick these days that they don't really make a difference for consumers

[modest moss]

I mean I probably don't need 2x nvme

[hard drift]

2x nvme is more common than going balls to the wall samsung ssd lol

people who get samsung ssds have money to blow

[dull garnet]

you don't need one nvme unless you have a specific application in mind for it, loading times vs sata are negligible rn

[real edge]

if you care about saving some money anyway

[modest moss]

the kingston on there was on offer today, ordered it for £67, cheaper than a sata 1tb

[hard drift]

wouldn't even buy them on sale

i'd buy another drive on sale smh

[dull garnet]

my 850 Pro has been solid tbh

[hard drift]

i got some seagate nvmes on sale and called it a day

since my intel nvme fried itself lol

[dull garnet]

i have an adata nvme...

[hard drift]

word of advice do not go intel nvme 🙏

[dull garnet]

my cpu would reject it

[hard drift]

lmfao

my pc rejected it by frying it

although it lasted like 4 years

but that's not really long considering nvme 😭

[modest moss]

Do I buy them

I really should I fuckin hate rigid pipe wrenches

[dull garnet]

an MSI should

[modest moss]

milwaukee colours, treat yourself sugar

[dull garnet]

you don't need a CPU installed for that on my board

op

[modest moss]

can I save on this PSU

do I need an 850w rmx

[dull garnet]

probably

[dull garnet]

your cpu boosting will bring it to 850

;D

[modest moss]

may just do this and add more storage later https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/myKtQ6

[dull garnet]

use your current case

[modest moss]

under 900, see if I can find reductions

nah

[odd sand]

I hope ill be fine with 850 with the 3080 and 13900

[dull garnet]

and I was thinking i'm cutting it fairly close with a 3060 ti + 5600x on a 650w

[modest moss]

do coolers ship with paste these days?

[dull garnet]

yes

my cryorig came with a whole tube

4g tube too

[modest moss]

oh I'm gonna get the noctua

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[modest moss]

the amazon listing confirms it has the right bracket and paste

[hard drift]

🙏 yeah even if they didn't they ship it for free usually

[dull garnet]

i'd sooner go noctua than buy a bequiet for the same money

[hard drift]

i mean bequiet is quite literally quieter 😭

yeah because that's half price vs msrp lol

you literally got 2 for the price of one for that

actually way less

i was thinking 1 tb price

[modest moss]

£16 less for the bequiet, but eh I'll get noctua

I already have a bunch of case fans

idgaf about colour hah

[dull garnet]

imagine buying black noctua, that's like buying a yellow ferrari

[hard drift]

you pay more for the black version pretty sure

[modest moss]

it's not even listed

[hard drift]

wasn't meant to reply to that lol, was supposed to be for the chromax earlier

[modest moss]

the full size dh15 is black and cheaper

[hard drift]

that's d15 chromax just the black version

[modest moss]

yeah I meant the d15 black is cheaper than brown

[hard drift]

oh damn

that's nice lmao

it's 10 dollars more here 😭

[modest moss]

d15s are both same price, both cheaper than d15

is d15s as good though?

[dull garnet]

2 fans > 1 fan

[modest moss]

can I OC the 12600k on it later?

[dull garnet]

people will laugh at the s

you won't be able to sleep at night knowing you bought an s

[hard drift]

yes

[modest moss]

SPEEDY IS LAUGHING AT IT

[hard drift]

well no shit, the 12900k does more than 230w at times

the cooler is only rated for like 210-230

[modest moss]

what's a better case that'll fit the dh15 properly?

[dull garnet]

most people don't custom loop smh

I trust noctua

[hard drift]

good

[hard drift]

good, as you should

[odd sand]

@tame fulcrum Do you know, do you need the static pressure fans for the corsair watercooling? I looked up the configurator and its trying to sell me on fans, but the Corsair 570X already comes with decent front fans, so I would think I don't need those then

[dull garnet]

i turned the rgb off on my viper 8k the other day

[modest moss]

how do I make sure that corsair ram fits though

[dull garnet]

looks like $3 chinese mouse now

[modest moss]

nerds on tomshardware say they fit under a dh15

Anyone here have opinions on VPN? I was using CyberGhost and they have a deal now that looks but I was thinking maybe I should try other/better ones, don't have much experience. I'm not a heavy user though, just use it sometimes when I'm abroad for TV channels in my home country and stuff like that.
Anyone have a reccommendation/dis-?

[modest moss]

I have a 6 pack of arctic 120mm I can bang in the case

I do respect his opinion tbh

[odd sand]

Actually I dont think they're even the static pressure fans bc they say LL which is the light ring and the static ones I think prefix with SP

[dull garnet]

look at you with your bougie £180 motherboard

[modest moss]

you have your moments Ice

send me 12900k

I can drop it on this board when you upgrade

[dull garnet]

least the design is fairly understated, those asus prime boards are pretty good in that regard

[modest moss]

yeah I can use this for 6 months until you can't resist a 13900k when Shinon goes HOLY SHIT I LOVE MY NEW CPU

[modest moss]

sorry my man, you got ignored a bit, I don't personally use a VPN... I suggest starting a thread in #952326072542847016 for visibility

nope

[serene radish]

No problem, I thought tech support was for problem solving but I'll try there, thanks.

[odd sand]

I'm not 100% discounting the 7000 series, but I'd like to keep my current ram and its B-die 3200 and I know ryzen wants at least 3600

[modest moss]

it evolved recently, we shitpost tech in here more and help over there, you're not wrong to ask here though, just can get missed

[dull garnet]

eh, 3200 is fine for ryzen

[odd sand]

So when they both come out ill look at benchmarks and decide then

[hard drift]

yeah, 3733 was like the peak for 5000 series or something like that

but 3200 was about average best

[dull garnet]

i hope to get at least 5 years out of my machine. considering ff14 is the most intensive game i've played in a year i think that should be achievable

[odd sand]

It should be fine as long as you don't do a ton of multitasking

Although you will probably want to do one GPU upgrade at some point

[dull garnet]

nah this gpu rips

[odd sand]

Well, I say that but if you dont play AAA then it could be fine. Especially if you stick to 1080p or 1440p

[dull garnet]

monitor is 1440 165hz

[odd sand]

1440p is a 40% pixel uplift from 1080p so that can really tank fps

[hard drift]

10 years won't last for that gpu at 4k

it'll fry itself more than likely lmao

[dull garnet]

also it can barely do 4k now

[hard drift]

i'm sorry for your loss 🙏

[odd sand]

I've got 9900k (8c16t) 3200 cas14 b-die @ 3600, and 3080 10gb so I don't really need an upgrade but I make enough so I'm fine with buying a new CPU and mobo atm and flip my current to a friend for a couple hundred

[hard drift]

i hate you

[odd sand]

Yeah 4K is really nice for productivity but I wouldn't care to have it for gaming bc the FPS drop isnt worth it

[dull garnet]

i should go 4k

[hard drift]

not with that gpu

[odd sand]

Then I figure when 15th gen comes out I'll flip it again and go DDR5 then

[dull garnet]

i spend 99% of my time on discord/youtube so

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

sorry, ddr6 by then /j

[dull garnet]

dual 4K

[modest moss]

speedy gonna be a peasant with a worse rig than me

oof

[hard drift]

can miniled/microled become cheaper 😭

the monitor i want atm is 2k smh

[odd sand]

DDR5 will be mature and prices down and that will be the 2nd gen of their chiplet architecture so theoretically they will have the kinks ironed out then

[dull garnet]

😔

[hard drift]

what do you mean 2nd gen

smh

shame

it's too far out to say if it'll be 2nd gen chiplet from intel

[odd sand]

14th gen is going to be Intel's first gen using the AMD-style chiplet design

The hardware roadmaps for 14th and 15th basics were already leaked

[hard drift]

eh we'll see i see there being delays based on gpu and i'm going to guess cpu lmao

[hard drift]

we'll see how accurate it was come later

[odd sand]

https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Intel-Investors-Presentation-2022-_Meteor-Lake-1030x586.png

[hard drift]

yeah but it's still early enough it might have changed

[odd sand]

Something scheduled to ship in a year is not that early when it comes to processors. 15th gen being too early? Sure. They don't even have engineering samples yet for those

[hard drift]

i expect delays

[dull garnet]

delay deez nuts

[odd sand]

One downside to 7000 series is its DDR5 only

Which being AMD also means bc they tend to be touchy when it deals with handling new ram

[hard drift]

I mean we don’t know yet since we haven’t seen the new socket and everything in action

Not to mention we don’t know how 13th gen will be limited on older motherboards

Gsync compatible meaning vrr

Gsync is a full blown module in a monitor so being compatible means basically nothing except variable refresh rate

[hard drift]

Also freesync premium pro is amds highest variable refresh rate so it’s atleast better for sure in that regard

[modest moss]

so ignore the gsync nonsense, they look very similar specs but price spread a lot

[hard drift]

Unless it just says gsync yeah, pretty much ignore it

[modest moss]

is freesync premium pro applicable to nvidia gpus though?

[hard drift]

It’s guaranteed to be better for variable refresh rate since it’s rated for a wider range of fps

[dull garnet]

probably not

but it is my monitor :)

there are some good deals occasionally via dell but eh

[modest moss]

I bought a dell 23" ips many years ago, that sucker was incredible

[dull garnet]

yeah i've only had dell since 2010

although I don't think the panel quality is as good as my older ultrasharp

simply because I have a spot of blacklight bleed and a spot of ips glow...

i was too lazy to swap it

[modest moss]

I'd prefer to spend less, will see what deals come up

[dull garnet]

600 gbp gpu, 200 gbp monitor

[modest moss]

2 quid cheaper direct from dell lol

[dull garnet]

[modest moss]

would prefer to stay under 300

[hard drift]

Nothing wrong with that 🙏

[dull garnet]

sometimes I think I shouldn't have upgraded from my Dell U2417H

the picture quality was so good

wonder what a 4K ultrasharp costs

[modest moss]

samsung?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Odyssey-LC27G55TQWRXXU-Curved-Monitor/dp/B08WWJGVVZ/

oh no

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

[dull garnet]

i wouldn't touch samsung with a bargepole

[modest moss]

fuck that

[hard drift]

Avoid samsung monitors

They’re generally shit

now do a Korone one

[deep sapphire]

I owned one

[dull garnet]

of course you did

you chad

[deep sapphire]

First day I brought it home I was like holy shit

I had a 22” 1680x1050 monitor before

Thing was just massive

[dull garnet]

i had a 22" 1680x1050 too, which felt like a scam because a year later they started making 22" 1080p monitors

[deep sapphire]

Haha

Acer?

[dull garnet]

mine was a HP w2207h

[deep sapphire]

Ah alright I had some acer monitor

[dull garnet]

my friend went for a cheap 24" 1920x1200 acer, cost about the same as my hp

seething

[odd sand]

I actually kinda prefer 16:10 to 16:9 as a monitor but its hard to find them

[dull garnet]

i remember when my friend went widescreen, mad jelly

he only had a 19" 1440x900 display though lol

coming from a CRT while I had a crappy 1280x1024 LCD

[odd sand]

The configurator example here... are they expecting me to blow the hot air into the case thru the rad or are you supposed to blow it out the front?

[sharp star]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-dance-dancing-dances-party-gif-14011899

[latent grotto]

its fine though?

[odd sand]

That's not a bad deal actually considering the case is $200 and you get the deskpad as well

[latent grotto]

you sure you don't wanna go for a 1000W psu though?

[odd sand]

$80 for the deskpad and waifu wrap

https://hyte.com/store/hakos-baelz-y60-case-deskpad-bundle/

[modest moss]

1000w for an i5 and 3070ti? overkill no?

[latent grotto]

but transient power spikes

but yea it looks fine

[hard drift]

won't matter much, if it's a good power supply it won't trip from it

[latent grotto]

i'm assuming you already checked cooler clearance?

[modest moss]

noctua says it fits the case, nerds on tomshardware say the ram fits under the cooler

[latent grotto]

iirc i had the same ram and it slightly interfered with the 2nd fan

so it had to be put slightly higher

[modest moss]

unless you really are taking my joke seriously and sending me your i9, it's unlikely I'll need more psu

lol

I wouldn't ask someone to actually send me parts

[latent grotto]

mm yes anime waifu boot screen

how well would this laptop play ffxiv?

supposedly the igpu on this is a beast and can play cyberpunk at 1080p at 30 fps

[umbral moss]

XIV is very CPU limited

if you don't need it to run at, like, 200 hz it's probably fine for xiv honestly

[paper tusk]

in this case it'll probably be gpu limited

should be ok for fill in though

[umbral moss]

it's only 1080, I bet he could get away with 1080/60

wouldn't want to try to run XIV at 4k on a laptop yet 😔

[frank sierra]

how is the cpu of this laptop for this game then

[umbral moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

without having one I can't tell you anything about how XIV will play on it

other than a general warning that XIV likes as much CPU performance as you can throw at it

I'm sure it's fine but it won't be blazin fast

[umbral moss]

This Equinox is held back by its turbo I-4 engine, lazy transmission, and limited cargo room.

imagine terminating all your sedans just to make this piece of shit

[hard drift]

ti according to nvidia is the 450 already so it is the same

and that doesn't even count aib models

[umbral moss]

isn't the AIB stuff mostly overengineering the PCB to accept those XXXTREME overclocks

although getting 50% faster switching for even 40% power increase is bonkers efficiency improvements

like, you can double your power consumption going up 15% on a CPU

not even hitting 1:1 power/frequency is crazy

[hard drift]

i mean it's not an increase of efficiency necessarily

given that the rumor is 16384 cuda cores while the 3090ti has 10752 cuda cores

[umbral moss]

60% more cores?

[hard drift]

52% roughly

[modest moss]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-61996520

nerds

looking at you ed

is this good? ^

[hard drift]

52% core increase with "the same power draw" as a 3090ti but an increase of 30% vs a 3090

thermoelectricity

[modest moss]

heat sand with 'free' solar energy > sand stays hot months > suck off heat in winter

[umbral moss]

I mean, it's just above-ground geothermal

[modest moss]

I guess it's still the old problem of the countries that generate the most solar power don't need as much heating

[umbral moss]

yeah, sun coverage is a thing

like I'm 100% certain new mexico doesn't need this sand battery thing lmao

[hard drift]

good luck UK

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-fsr-2-0-mod-reportedly-also-works-in-death-stranding-guardians-of-the-galaxy-and-metro-exodus

the list keeps growing

[solid dirge]

I mean if they can figure out how to get solar energy to power AC without all the other crap that comes with AC then there's that

Unfortunately, solar power and hot climates in general are kind of a terrible combination due to the batteries' potential for rather violent combustion.

[umbral moss]

hot climates are better off using gravity batteries anyway

[hard drift]

oh yeah, dimberest i expect that the power efficiency is mainly from them going to tsmc (i believe this series is on tsmc)

since samsung was one of the reasons the other cards were power hungry

[umbral moss]

wasn't it also because the samsung process was some weird low power node that nvidia repurposed since TSMC told them to eat shit

[hard drift]

tsmc told them to eat shit because nvidia tried to play games with tsmc lol

but yeah something like that

[umbral moss]

I thought TSMC basically told everyone to pound sand last year because apple bought literally all the fab time to make M1

[hard drift]

no, if i recall correctly it was because nvidia wanted a better deal or some shit and was doing some mind game to try and get it and tsmc wasn't having it

[umbral moss]

oh

that sounds like leatherjacketman, yeah

[hard drift]

if that was the case amd wouldn't have used tsmc lol

[umbral moss]

didn't AMD have to push their releases back because of the scheduling?

[hard drift]

they only really pushed one back as far as i know and that was the 6900xt

they moved it to december vs the rest

i could be wrong on that one though, i don't remember

[umbral moss]

poggin, time to short nvidia shares

[hard drift]

they've been saying that for a while i posted it already 😭

[devout nexus]

its true icehunter

rumor within the industry is they delaying 4k series by at least a month to compensate i think it will be more

[umbral moss]

probably delay until 2023 just to make sure the market is nice and tight

[hard drift]

lmao

what they don't realize is people aren't buying for more than just crypto, they know the next gen is almost here

[umbral moss]

it's also the middle of general market weakness

so there's not a lot of capex to begin with

[devout nexus]

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations on Keyboards and Mice to play ffxiv on PS5. my current budget is around 100-200 USD

[odd sand]

What is it about tech people wearing leather jackets? Doesn't the head of AMD wear one as well and Bethesda and I vaguely remember a few others doing keynotes wearing them

[hard drift]

no, she doesn't

[hard drift]

it's been an nvidia ceo staple for a while lol

[hard drift]

what do you look for in a keyboard?

such as size, mechanical, quiet/noisy etc

[umbral moss]

they're all huge dorks who think wearing a leather jacket makes them look cool

[boreal surge]

Errr... I have no clue, I haven’t seen any

[hard drift]

lisa su just wears a blazer jacket usually never a leather jacket lol

[boreal surge]

If anything it’s patagonia stuff

[tulip mulch]

Uhm, well I don't really have anything in mind. I've always played on laptops so I wouldn't know what to look for in a keyboard

maybe something rather medium? not too small not too big?

[hard drift]

are you used to a numpad/do you want one?

[tulip mulch]

Yeah, I'm used to numpads.

I guess it would be nice if it had one, altough I'm not sure if numpads work on console?

GLORIOUS GENERAL MOTORS

[jaunty light]

Dodge with fewer issues than ram, but jeep and chrysler and fiat not on the list

:OmegaLUL:

[odd sand]

That list entirely depends on what sort of problems. If it was 50 per 100 but that meant 50% of the vehicles blew their engine after 10k miles that would be a lot worse than something like cracked weather seals or something

[deep sapphire]

It was based on initial issues for the first 6 months I think. So it wasn’t based on major issues that crop up but any issues at all like fit and finish and annoying software bugs

I’ve been following the new tundra and fuck sakes Toyota has been doing a bad job with it. Seen tons of people complaining about transfer case issues, poor interior fit and finish, hard to use infotainment, waste gate issues and more

I know it’s new but Jesus

[odd sand]

Tesla at the bottom of that list? heh

[deep sapphire]

They didn’t even agree to be on the list LMAO

[potent arrow]

B-but we buy Chevy and dodge to fix them

[sly elk]

iirc consumer reports considers complaints about navigation units a reliability issue

what would get weird is if you take cars from 2 different brands that use the same platform/engine/etc and find they have drastically different reliability figures

like toyota 86 vs subaru br-z

[sly elk]

those kinda surveys are much harder lol

I've never had an issue with a car in the first 6 months

tbh I probably should have complained about the paint job on my jeep's tailgate lol. it was terrible.

and somehow very common

that white outline XD

[modest moss]

@hard drift https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2Dmw78

[hard drift]

Now the 12700k???

[modest moss]

replacing the 12600k with 12700k is a great idea, and wouldn't need to change anything else, right?

[hard drift]

Should be fine for everything

[modest moss]

I'm thinking longevity, that extra £100-110 should make it stretch its life a bit

[sly elk]

mhmm

[hard drift]

Only thing to worry about is the cpu/gpu boosting tripping psu

[sly elk]

how long are you thinking? XD

[hard drift]

It would’ve lived a while even with 12600k lol

[sly elk]

oh no

that 850w should be fine

[hard drift]

6p cores +4 e cores

[modest moss]

I won't spend on upgrades, so like, thinking maybe better to spend a little more now

[odd sand]

850 is recommended for a 3080 even, the 3070ti will be fine

[sly elk]

yeah

[modest moss]

850w RMx should be ok

[sly elk]

totally fine

[hard drift]

I mean yeah but longevity is fine with either since it’s not like you’re playing triple a stuff

[sly elk]

i'd even go as far as saying that's the ideal power supply lol

[odd sand]

That estimated is also based on peak draw from the card, which you won't be doing very often

[modest moss]

I do play other games, but I'm also going to have to fuck with UE5

[sly elk]

I ran my 9700k+3080ti off a 750w psu for a while it still worked most of the time.....

that said, the finicky issues I was having with crashing at almost-idle seem to have totally disappeared since swapping the PSU out with a 1000w unit

[modest moss]

big difference between 3070ti and 3080ti though

[sly elk]

i think you could easily easily go 5-7 years off a 12700k though

right!

[modest moss]

I'm being patient Ice

[sly elk]

shue sorry, what I meant was 850 should be totally fine ^^

[modest moss]

prime day next week, might get a bargain on something

[sly elk]

i have no idea how the 12600k compares

[hard drift]

Not power wise

It’s 60w

🙏

How much is 3070ti vs 3080ti?

[hard drift]

More than that likely

Unless next gen consoles go up that much pushing games quicker

[sly elk]

XD

hell I think I could go 7-10 years off a 12700k if I really felt like it

but I like shiny new toys sometimes

[odd sand]

5-7 years should be np since not many games go deep on multicore yet

[modest moss]

hmm 12700k is already on offer on amazon

[odd sand]

The only ones that really get into that are sim games like Satisfactory, Dyson, Timberborn, etc.

[modest moss]

maybe I should just buy it

[hard drift]

It’ll be fine even then as long as shue doesn’t go too high on resolution killing the gpu lol

[odd sand]

The average game is only going to address 2-4 cores atm

[hard drift]

If shue stays at 1080p-1440p you can get probably 10 years out of it if they stay alive

Asus, Corsair, Samsung, Intel, Nvidia and the WD is just additional storage

the case is probably the jankiest part

yeah I'm not worried about it, I just mean it like NZXT are probably the 'smallest' manufacturer

[hard drift]

the fact that you have the side panel off shows how shit the case was

only way to really get airflow in that awful case

510 flow saved that line, now if only they made flow for all of the versions smh

[modest moss]

if the case is shit you're both dead

it won't be i promise you

ban me if it is 🙏 but the h510 is a solid case the only downfall was the fucking airflow which is literally why 510 flow exists

$100 is already a very good price for it. I paid $120 for mine when I bought it years ago

buying NZXT for airflow

[hard drift]

that's why the flow is the recommended option

[modest moss]

my mate is suggesting I don't need a monitor and that this 1080p 75hz is good enough

and I'm like

[hard drift]

slap your mate for me

[modest moss]

you'd more than slap him

he devs UE5 on a 3090 at 1080p

[hard drift]

….

[jaunty light]

tell him "its 2022 old man"

[odd sand]

1080p is still fine if you like high framerates, but 75hz is oof. I would want 120

[jaunty light]

1080p is a relic of the past now that we have 240hz 1440p panels

[odd sand]

As I said it comes down to framerates. 1440p is nice, but I personally wouldn't want it if it meant running games at like 60fps bc my GPU wasnt up to the task

[modest moss]

I feel like with what I've just bought I want 1440p 144hz

[odd sand]

1440p pushes 40% more pixels than 1080p so if you were getting 100fps on 1080p that means only 60fps on 1440p

Yeah they usually do 144, 165 or 240 now, but the fluidity gains from refresh basically hit very very diminishing returns above 120

[modest moss]

rtings telling me to buy LG monitor @potent arrow @hard drift explain this

£350

[hard drift]

That’s higher tier than the others

[modest moss]

it's a bit over budget, I'd like to spend under 300

but if it's actually that much better, idk maybe I should

[hard drift]

I mean keep an eye on that for prime day maybe then, it’s a good monitor but idk about that much better. Of course you’d expect higher priced ones to be better though

[modest moss]

interesting

that LG is 300 at other places

[hasty harbor]

Gamers, i need help, is samsung odyssey g5 c32g56 32 qhd any good and should i go for it?

I can’t fully rememeber what i have on rn, but what i do know its, that the one i have is 144hz, 1ms ips

[hard drift]

buy anything else but that, samsung QC(quality control) is garbage and it's eh to begin with

not to mention it's pretty dim and it's VA

[hasty harbor]

Oof

So scrap it

[hard drift]

Yup unless you’re willing to gamble, have a shitty monitor already, and your room is not too bright/has no sunlight

[modest moss]

is nano ips some bullshit LG term or is it actually better than ips?

[hasty harbor]

Any screen that pretty good at 2k?
Or 1440p

Thats ips

[hard drift]

on paper it's better but they're both really close to each other

[sly elk]

I admit, I am a bit apprehensive to try other stuff because I like how a good IPS monitor looks 😄

[hard drift]

nano ips is about the same just it's supposed to be a faster panel in terms of responsiveness and it's supposed to have a better contrast ratio

so it's everything about ips but better in theory 🙏

[hasty harbor]

👌

[hard drift]

there's quite a few, the one shue linked is pretty good

[hasty harbor]

I might take a look

[hard drift]

not to mention it doesn't "break the bank" depending on budget of course

[hasty harbor]

Thx

☄️

I just brought a new gpu

Rtx 3070 ti

[hard drift]

same as shue

[hasty harbor]

Its a triple fan one

What does shue have

[hard drift]

FE

[hasty harbor]

Fe?

[hard drift]

founders edition meaning nvidia made one

[hasty harbor]

Ah

[modest moss]

[hasty harbor]

Mine is msi geforce rtx, 3070 ti gaming trio

[hard drift]

gaming trio isn't that bad

[modest moss]

both bought 3070ti, both hassling Bidori for a 1440p monitor

[hard drift]

😭

[hasty harbor]

I was lucky enough to find a gpu that doesn’t cost me a kidney

[hard drift]

time to leave so i cannot be hassled

[hard drift]

lol, those days are pretty much over now

[modest moss]

same, I got mine at UK MSRP from nvidia

[hasty harbor]

Not In Denmark

[modest moss]

I think gpus are mostly 'normal' now

[sly elk]

yea

the prices now are a lot better

[modest moss]

still expensive af, but less gouged

[hard drift]

soon ™️ it's already normalizing everywhere now

[hasty harbor]

[umbral moss]

newegg is sending out emails being like "discounts on 3090ti cards!"

and they're real discounts, like 20% off

[hasty harbor]

Oof

[sly elk]

like the 3080ti ftw3 is going for about $100 less than I paid for it ^_^

[hard drift]

can find 3090 on ebay and shit for like 1k lol

[sly elk]

lol

yea

GOOD.

[modest moss]

nothing like that here yet

[sly elk]

because $1k is too damn much for a vidya card.

[hard drift]

1k is the most i'd ever pay

not counting this one

[sly elk]

word

[hard drift]

i saved up expecting this though lol

i knew it was coming pretty much

[sly elk]

right now i'd like it if motherboards got cheaper

[hasty harbor]

How good do you Think the gpu i have is

[hard drift]

it's pretty good

[hasty harbor]

The one i use before is 970 turbo oc

[hard drift]

lmfao jesus

yeah it's a huge increase

[sly elk]

haha I will point out

[hasty harbor]

Yeah i know its old af, but it did its and i was going to buy a gpu early if it Wasn’t for the pandemic

[sly elk]

when I bought my 1070ti it cost me $379

[hard drift]

you pretty much got triple the performance

aside from you upgrading resolution

[hasty harbor]

Can’t wait to see some bunny Ladies In hd

Aka the Way bunnies

[sly elk]

it looks to me like unless you're deal hunting, a 3070ti would cost $700 right now

[hard drift]

blocked 🤢

[hasty harbor]

Its 750, But i can pay monthly

[modest moss]

750 euros?

does Denmark use Euros?

or is that 750 USD?

[hasty harbor]

Oh snap, let me convert it

[hard drift]

lol

[hasty harbor]

What do you want to know it as

USD or eu

[hard drift]

usd/eu

[modest moss]

I paid 670 USD equivalent for mine

560 GBP

I included delivery and tax

[hasty harbor]

Its 900$ over here

Told you, the prices here are nasty

[hard drift]

[hasty harbor]

In Danish money its 6500kr

[modest moss]

just don't check prices going forward

you bought it, just enjoy it

[hasty harbor]

Ye

I havn’t even open the box yet, i want to wait

[modest moss]

I haven't opened mine either, I'm building a whole new rig

[hasty harbor]

Havn’t brought Any card for a long time so its a moment for me

Ay

I wish you luck frined i must sleep now, you have a good one

[modest moss]

you too

let us know what monitor you buy

[umbral moss]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/423237214/h1-hera-worlds-first-wireless-he-switch-mechanical-keyboad

[hasty harbor]

I might wait buying one atm

The one i have is doing a good job

But if i do looking for a new one i will come back here

[umbral moss]

I don't even know if hall effect switches are good for anything but I'll try anything if it's cheap enough lmao

speaking of cheap, acer's got the XB271HU on sale for $399

1440/144 IPS with g-sync

[modest moss]

not really available here

[umbral moss]

every time it's on sale it takes a lot of effort not to smash that buy button

so I can have two 27" 1440 displays instead of just one

[modest moss]

this is the front runner I think

rtings says it's the best midrange gaming monitor, so it's probably good

[sly elk]

random impromptu picture of my computer showcasing the right side XD

[deep sapphire]

@languid lava

[modest moss]

Hank, I evaded the bad influence from Bidori

I bought Intel/Nvidia

[deep sapphire]

Did you go Intel

Good

[modest moss]

12700k, yolo

[deep sapphire]

We both know, Intel chipsets just work better

Time is money

[modest moss]

yeah I went for reliability

[deep sapphire]

12700K is probably the best bang for your buck gaming CPU anyway

[modest moss]

obviously I might get unlucky, nothing is perfect, but I have a much higher chance of a smooth install

[deep sapphire]

It’s half the price of a 5800X with similar performance

[modest moss]

uh no it's not

[deep sapphire]

Gaming performance**

Sorry I meant

The new one

Wtf is it called again

With the 3D cache

[modest moss]

oh the 5800x-3d

[deep sapphire]

Yeah

[modest moss]

yeah, not quite half here

I paid 380

the 5800x-3d is like 440

[deep sapphire]
