I'm looking at 8-pin version of RTX 4070 for my ITX case but still want waterblocked 4090

just don't know if any SFX PSU can handle 4090 for long term stability

[nocturne drift]

prob depends on application resolution etc

honestly I think u can get away with a 4080

[small zinc]

Mazda pretends like he isn't expanding my messages. Which is why he asked that.

Who lives rent free now

lmao

[nocturne drift]

GN drew 666.6w but thats furmark on 4090

[small zinc]

Hi Mazda 🙂

I know you read every last one of my messages regardless of blocking me.

😛

[molten flame]

demonic card

[nocturne drift]

I know!

[molten flame]

wonder if any game comes close to furmark in raster intensity

[storm osprey]

tbf, if you have only a few people blocked, or even one, in a relatively dead chat, its pretty obvious who the blocked messages are from

[nocturne drift]

no game comes close

[small zinc]

True.

[nocturne drift]

RTX etc maybe

[storm osprey]

its why i dont block people, i know who the messages are from

[small zinc]

But 100% guaranteed he also expands those messages to read them. They're never truly blocked in Discord.

Yeah, also that.

[storm osprey]

theres a work around to fully delete blocked messages too, i wish that was an official option

i hate seeing the little "2 blocked message" tab in chat

[small zinc]

It's annoying. I do the same thing as you.

[nocturne drift]

just ignore them lol

[small zinc]

Mazda gives himself away everytime though. Because it's generally ironic that he only ever types something when I do.

Which means I know he's reading every last "Blocked Message" by expanding it.

🙂

[storm osprey]

theres only like.. 1 person i would even consider blocking on discord, and at this point i like giving them shit for their idiotic takes

[nocturne drift]

same

[small zinc]

Rent free Mazda. Rent free.

[prime jasper]

corsair sf750?

[molten flame]

[prime jasper]

I see it a lot in itx builds with 3090s and keep in mind ampere has higher transient spikes than ada

[small zinc]

I wouldn't go any lower than an 850 watt power supply for a 4090. Just factoring in under load, and of course depending on what CPU and any possible overclocking

But a 4090 shouldn't really draw more than 450 watts

And that's pretty much pushing it.

[molten flame]

it's more like 350w on average

[small zinc]

True.

I think 450 is probably just on initial power on

If that.

Otherwise yeah you're right. Under gaming loads, 350 sounds right

I mean I do hear about people doing crazy overclocks and ramping up voltages. But to me that's basically 100% pointless as there isn't a CPU in existence currently that doesn't already bottleneck a stock 4090 to some extent

[prime jasper]

Demanding RT is what mainly takes it over 450 watt https://tpucdn.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition/images/power_plus_rt.png

[nocturne drift]

scored over 42k in cinebench nice

pretty low bin 13900ks tho

but I got it for 500 so its a dub.

5.8p/4.6e/5.0 ring

e core is low so thats why the guy sold it to me

I see now

[quick locust]

Ik a few people like this lol

[storm osprey]

my current favorite is TLOU on pc

recommended specs are accurate, and people are still mad

[quick locust]

Ya

Just dont run ultra in it

[winged skiff]

speaking of unoptimized game
I recently purchased Death Stranding Director's Cut from humble bundle, and noticed that I couldn't reach the 144hz fps cap I set on the game, even though on the non-Director's Cut I can reach the fps cap with no issue.
Do you have any idea why this is the case? or just the DC version isn't as optimized as the non-DC?

and sadly, regardless of whatever setting I chose, even on the lowest setting, I'll still get around the same fps

as when I set the graphic to max setting

even tried turning DLSS on and off, and the performance is about the same, im not sure why

[quick locust]

I only have non DC version as I played on gamepass

Ran well on intel gpu though it doesnt have XeSS like DC does

[winged skiff]

yeah I'm not sure why

i even double checked to make sure I wasn't crazy. I played the nonDC version on gamepass and EGS that I got for free a while back, both have the same performance (capped 144hz at max graphic settings) while the DC version only gets me around 110fps-139fps, with sometimes reaching the 144fps cap

[quick locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winged skiff]

it is what it is

[storm osprey]

but also wait for shaders, and done use med textures, they look like low textures

its a bit goofy, but specs were accurate

I also had a 9700k 2080ti build I got for 600 and he passed on that too.

Now it's 2023 I don't have the time and energy to build so good luck to him 💀

[eager saffron]

Anyone in this server interested in VR tech?

[deft moss]

Vr is cursed

Abandon it

[eager saffron]

Nah. 🙂

I adore VR stuff.

[deft moss]

But why

[eager saffron]

Though, not metaverse stuff.

[deft moss]

Do you like walking around as a anime girl

[eager saffron]

I like walking around as an anime guy (The male one, btw), but I enjoy VR FPS games the most.

I don't have money for all of the other fancy VR tech, like Quest Pro for eye/face tracking, a VR treadmill, full-body tracking set, etc.

Maybe one day...

[deft moss]

What do you have then? Just the vr headset?

With controllers

[eager saffron]

Yes. Oculus/Meta Quest 2 with the included controllers.

I'm waiting for the rumored Quest 3 to come out where it's likely to be a bit more expensive than Quest 2 at its current price, but also plan to get Touch Pro controllers if it's compatible with the new headset.

[deft moss]

Youre going all in on it aren't you

What VR games do you play

[eager saffron]

Mostly Bonelab, VRChat, and Beat Saber.

I also play Among Us VR as well (As in, the official VR version of Among Us).

[deft moss]

Beat saber is cool af

I would buy VR for that

[eager saffron]

And also a good workout if you ask me.

[deft moss]

But movement jn VR seems clunky

I saw gameplay of skyrim VR

Or maybe I'm misremembering

[eager saffron]

Doesn't the game have different locomotion options like continuous (Where you use your joystick to move around like how most games do) and teleportation like the most other VR games have?

[deft moss]

Ooooh thats what I have seen

Teleportation and thats why I got turned off from it

[eager saffron]

Yeah.

[deft moss]

Felt like it was immersive breaking

[eager saffron]

But on the positive side, it does help with comfort.

[deft moss]

How so? You still use the controller

But just not constantly?

[eager saffron]

Though, I do prefer continuous locomotion in VR.

[eager saffron]

For some people, continuous locomotion can make people motion sick, which is a common & unavoidable problem with VR.

Though, controllers are still useful for VR since you can interact with objects like weapons, props, and even making gestures for social interactions.

[deft moss]

Oh like that, ugh I already get a weird feeling just thinking about motion sickness

I played this Tetris game with amazing graphics, it has a vr version of it

I think that would be as cool as beat saber

[quick locust]

I've tried an actual roller coaster while wearing VR

Since they had a movie thing set up during the ride in vr

Not even that got me motion sick lel

[eager saffron]

Nice!

You must have some good VR legs.

And VR legs mean you have some resistance to VR motion sickness.

[quick locust]

Yeah

[deft moss]

I tried VR once in a store but they had like a space environment set up

It really fucked with me, almost fell

[eager saffron]

I didn't have this problem since trying out Oculus Go + Rift at Best Buy back in 2018, which is what got me into VR.

[deft moss]

It was just the fact that it felt more realistic than I expected. The first thing I did when I put on was look down and it was just space

Hahaha thats my only experience with VR so far

[eager saffron]

And I know this is a big stretch, but just imagine if BF2042 had optional VR support (If you have a powerful gaming PC, of course, since PC VR requires powerful specs) and you're using wingsuits as Sundance?

[quick locust]

Would be cool

[deft moss]

Thats actually so cool, flying the jet or in the helicopter

But jesus christ your pc must be ungodly

[eager saffron]

I don't have a really powerful gaming PC like the ones with the RTX 4090, but I have a mid-range PC that's capable of VR.

GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
CPU: AMD Radeon RX 5500
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3200Mhz

[deft moss]

I meant like if they implemented bf2042 VR

Players would need a insane pc

[eager saffron]

Oh yeah.

[deft moss]

My ryzen 5 3600 couldnt handle bf2042

Had insane stuttering

Thus my hatred for dice has started

[eager saffron]

I mean, more games on PC are getting more unoptimized as new computer specs come by.

Cough The Last Of Us Part 1 Cough

[molten flame]

pandemic really messed with game development

[deft moss]

I have a 3070 and cant run games properly like last of us or hogwarts legacy without stutters

[eager saffron]

True.

[deft moss]

Like stuttering is one of the things I really cant tolerate when gaming

[eager saffron]

But even turning down the graphic settings doesn't work out most of the time, right?

[deft moss]

Yeah I tried low, medium, high

The stutters just stay the same

Apparently hogwarts legacy on 1080p uses more than 8gb vram 😮‍💨

And I'm on 1440p

[eager saffron]

I'm on 1080P stuck with a 60Hz monitor.

And my GPU's memory size is about 4GB.

[deft moss]

If I'm being really honest, and I know people on the internet keep saying 1440p is amazing and your eyes will for ever be gratefull

I barely notice a difference, and after a while your eyes get used to 144hz and it feels normal so whats the point of upgrading

I just want OLED monitors

[deft moss]

How do you run VR on that?

[eager saffron]

Same, but I want more refresh rate for PC gaming.

[eager saffron]

Well, when I'm using Oculus Link, I turn the resolution all the way down on both the Oculus Rift app & SteamVR since I prioritize VR performance for my gaming PC

[deft moss]

I would think that resolution matters more in VR no?

Considering yknow its VR but if your gpu cant handle yeah I would do the same

Smooth experience is just the best

[eager saffron]

Right.

[pine anchor]

In vr or normal ?

[deft moss]

just normal

the game runs, it just stutters constantly 🙄

[pine anchor]

Okay

Hmm

And battlefield?

[deft moss]

were you thinking about buying the gpu or the game?

[deft moss]

After I upgraded my cpu, I don't really have problems anymore

[eager saffron]

It runs good for my HP mid-range gaming PC that I bought at Walmart.

Some stutterings occur sometimes, but the game still runs fine for me.

[pine anchor]

I will buy a pc in the next few weeks

[deft moss]

oh nice man

what specs are you buying

Idk if I would recommend a rtx 3070 though

its still pretty expensive I tihkn

[pine anchor]

Maybe a 6700xt or 3060ti

[deft moss]

hmm yeah, I think I would go for 6700xt just for that vram

out of nowhere games are popping up that eat all of your vram

[pine anchor]

3070 is a way to much for me atm

[deft moss]

it's still expensive imo

too expensive*

[pine anchor]

I Play in full hd and will upgrade to 1440p end of the year

[deft moss]

I don't know if 1440p is really worth it

but just see how you like it, you can always send back the monitor if you buy it online

[pine anchor]

Yea

[candid flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlLRo7DNrYU

[quick locust]

3050 stinky

A750 and RX 6600 exist and are much faster

And cheaper

[deft moss]

I'm actually very excited that Intel decided to enter the game

hopefully they won't abandon their efforts

[nocturne drift]

There is a customer who had 1080 and got a new 3050

💀

[candid flame]

hey, it has dlss

[eager saffron]

And also FidelityFX Super Resolution not just for Radeon GPUs, but also Nvidia GPUs that serves as an alternative option for DLSS.

[deft moss]

AMD is big on opensource

Which I like

Nvidia just does whatever they can to attract more customers which I understand

[molten flame]

🤨

RX 6600 is 10-15% faster than GTX 1080

RTX 3050 is 25-30% slower than 1080

[nocturne drift]

he f ed up💀

[ivory creek]

the naming can be really confusing, people look and see that its a rtx 3000 card and think it must be better

[pale quartz]

it's not a big stretch, it will simply never happen

adding openXR to battlefield makes no sense other than that to make compatibility available to a whole 0.5% of users

[eager saffron]

What about a standalone Battlefield game specifically for VR?

[midnight crypt]

Look at medal of honor VR

And see how that went

[eager saffron]

Correction: I mostly go around in VRChat as a Beat Saber multiplayer avatar using the replica models someone gave me.

[small zinc]

[nocturne drift]

My friend scored a 7800X 3D from bestbuy

But his mobo broke. 💀

My friend needs to learn how to flash a bios

[molten flame]

CPU can die from that too right

[molten flame]

if the 7800X3D had launched together with the 7950X3D/7900X3D almost 2 months ago, it would have probably been out of stock for a month and the higher tier models would be too abundant and would become same value/cheaper than the 7800X3D

[tired notch]

wasnt that a shitty move from amd

7800x3d from what i heard is the best choice while the more expensive ones are meh

[toxic wigeon]

Scummy thing to do to sell a better processor much later and upsell your first set.

[ivory creek]

new nvidia hotfix drivers are supposed to stop crashes in the last of us

quite old news but i just found out about it myself

The hotfix addresses the following issues:

[The Last of Us Part 1] Game may randomly crash during gameplay on GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs [4031676]
Assassin’s Creed Origins may have stability issues when using 531.18. [4008770]
[Resident Evil 4 Remake] Corruption in the game when FXAA enabled [4051903]

hm, i always thought of geforce experience as bloatware but it might be nice to just get notified of the latest drivers

now i have to keep visiting the nvidia forums to look for hotfixes

[tired notch]

geforce experience for me isnt bloatware simply because it has 1 job and its to update drivers

just ignore everything else lol

[candid flame]

it can also overclock your gpu for you

which is random

[ivory creek]

ye i wouldnt trust that

but what do i know

[tired notch]

yea i wouldnt

just use msi after burner or perosonally i use x1 from evga since im using their card

honestly is overclocking even worth it for nvidea cards since dont they already overclock to the temp limit

i guess its usefull for undervolting

[candid flame]

Experience only gives you like a 2% overclock tho so it doesn't even matter

[ivory creek]

i heard the only way to really overclock the 3000 series is to do some soldering as its so limited

[tired notch]

i think some aib boards have built in switches on the board that does that

like kingpin cards

[quick locust]

I rarely used Experience back when I used nvidia

At least shadowplay was alright part of it

[tired notch]

i use it a lot because game ready drivers can improve a games performance by quite a bit

checking the fourms for an update is a pain lol

[quick locust]

Lul

I get update every 2 weeks or so

Each manual

[ivory creek]

the nvidia drivers search engine doesnt list the hotfixes for whatever reason, maybe they want ppl to visit the forums

[tired notch]

i usually update whenever a game i play was listed specifically in the game ready drivers

[quick locust]

I keep bleeding edge regardless

[tired notch]

im on the dev channel windows 11 on my laptop, it hurts being on the bleeding edge'

[quick locust]

But I'm on intel so I want to update as much as possible

[tired notch]

yesterday my latop green screen while taking notes mid lecture

lol

not blue screen

[quick locust]

Rip

[tired notch]

green screen lol

[quick locust]

Yeah ik, insider is like that

[tired notch]

i think i opted out of the dev channel for since last year

still in dev channel

im stuck

the only way out is probably fresh windows 11 install lol

but im too lazy

[candid flame]

bought windows 10/11 with my university email so now my windows is still "managed" by my uni, can't get into insider

oof

[tired notch]

lol

i wouldnt

the admins of ur UNI can remotely wipe ur pc

btw

it happend in my university not long ago

someone got their laptop wiped lol

u know the crazy part

[candid flame]

it has been 9 years but I don't know how to switch to a personal email

[ivory creek]

my dad once gave me a bulk windows licence from the company he worked at, i kept using it until windows said that certain updates are controlled by my company . so i got my own

[tired notch]

i remeber i tried signing into my school outlook account on my phone and there is an option for me to sign it into android itself and it state by signing in, i would allow administrators to remotely wipe even my phone lol

[tired notch]

dont ur school email get revoked after graduating?

[candid flame]

nope, it became an alumnus email

[ivory creek]

i mean i dont know how much insight his company had on my computer lol

[candid flame]

idk if they can access your personal data, but on my work laptop, IT can read my Teams messages

they need to ask for consent first, but technically they can just read everything

[ivory creek]

ye screw that

[tired notch]

yea if u have an account that is under their domain they have complete control

its mostly to stop leaks

like if ur work laptop gets leaked

they can remotely wipe it

[ivory creek]

ive had my own licence for quite some time now tho

[tired notch]

its for good reason remeber lastpass, there was a massive passwork leak because an engineer got their house burgled and they stole his laptop

[candid flame]

any way for me to transfer my windows license from my school email to my personal one?

[tired notch]

honestly i would just buy one

their dirt cheap

its like 14 bucks i think

plus i think windows now ties the keys to the motherboard

so if u switch mobo u gonna need a new key anyways

[candid flame]

I have only ever bought windows licenses directly from microsoft, too scared to deal with 3rd parties

[ivory creek]

he also gave me acess to tons of thier adobe and other products, but maybe i shouldnt talk about this

[candid flame]

you can bring over your license to a new pc, just need to disconnect it from your old pc

[tired notch]

i dont even have to pay

i have a key that i can use in as many pcs i want

someone gave it to me lol

i only use it for testing new pcs

on final deployment i just buy one of those cheap windows keys

from third party

[pale quartz]

they don't tie it to the motherboard, it's tied to your Microsoft account

the only thing that's tied to a board is your TPM backup key from your account so you don't make your drive unbootable from switching out hardware

[tired notch]

well i dont know bc i use "technically illegal keys" from cheap 3d party websites that are non transferable lol

[pale quartz]

they're not illegal

they're OEM retail keys

they're given to corporations for mass activations then get resold by some insider employee trying to flip a buck, it'll work as long as the key is still in use at that organisation

if it doesn't then your activation will deactivate

[candid flame]

oof

[quick locust]

Imagine needing keys for your OS

i AM the key

🐧

[tired notch]

isnt it TOS to sell them though

[pale quartz]

yes, but TOS =/= illegality

[ivory creek]

i just took a license from an old laptop i dont use anymore and put it on my desktop

now i only got windows home tho and not pro like the one i had from my dads company key

i dont use any of the pro encryption and remote features tho

wouldnt worst thing be to pirate a copy which probably have a rootkit or whatever in it tho

or use a cracked antivirus which probably defeat the purpose of it and give people direct access to the stuff ure trying to protect

lmao

way better choice than any corsair keyboard

[ivory creek]

hey i actually want a corsair k100, but i bought another keyboard not too long ago so its kind of a waste

😦

[nocturne drift]

Corsair key board's quality had been dropping

I have 2 corsair K70 rgb. One from 2014 and one from 2021

The key caps on the 2022 worn off after just one year.

I have to swap the key caps of the 2014 one with the 2021 one.

Was not happy

2014 one I also spilled orange juice on it twice water twice. Soaked in soap water twice, and it still works fine.

I haven't spilled anything on the 2021 one yet lol.

[quick locust]

Who's their oem for keyboards

[tired notch]

wait isnt soaking ur keyboard a bad idea lol

i remeber linus mentioning after they did the washing keyboard in the dishwasher, it killed the keyboard in a year or something due to moisture

[nocturne drift]

Not too sure. I Yolo ed it in 2016 and 2018

[candid plank]

you can wash the keyboard aslong as you let it dry out completely. I recommend no soap dishwasher the boy and let it dry.

[nocturne drift]

I didn't want to use soap

But I spilled orange juice.

Switches was sticky

[tired notch]

use alchol

just dump alchol lol

[nocturne drift]

Will try that next time when I spill sticky stuff on my keyboard

[prime jasper]

did amd release the fsr 3 or what ever they talked when announcing the rx 7000

or when it is supposed to release

Still yet to be released

I don't really care if it does personally though, if it's anything like dlss3 it just ruins image quality

[toxic wigeon]

LMAOOOOOO.

Because of the Easter sale the Corsair Virtuoso XT is only 30 dollars more expensive than the base variant.

[toxic wigeon]

@pale quartz Thirty dollars more than the standard edition LET'S GO.

[pale quartz]

gg

[midnight crypt]

Cost more than my hd600

[toxic wigeon]

To be fair Arc. AUD.

[midnight crypt]

Oh ye

[tired notch]

im sorry did u just spend almost 400$ aud on a gaming headset lol

might as well buy audiophile grade at that point lol

although its JB hifi, ive been there before they overprice everything lol

[past phoenix]

can someone help? i cant join into a server cus : no connection with ea

[toxic wigeon]

I've bought from them before.

The prices at JB HI FI are similar to other places so.

[ivory creek]

if u want the perfect sound just go for sennheiser orpheus with built in glass tube amps for 55000usd

or dont

i rock some cheap hyperx alpha myself

good enough

[toxic wigeon]

Ye that's what I have at the current moment.

But I want to give what I have right now to my sister plus I've been meaning to give wireless a go.

[tired notch]

when i went to melbourne to visit my sister jb hifi were overpricing laptops by over 1000+ usd

idk whats the deal with them

i went around bc my sister broke her laptop and i was helping her buy a new one

[toxic wigeon]

Different economy.

Really that's it.

[tired notch]

u whats crazy

i ended up buying a laptop in the US and sending it to her in melbourne

had to pay import taxes

and still cheaper than jb hifi lol

for the same laptop

[toxic wigeon]

To be honest.

We are going through a case of inflation.

[tired notch]

i mean if the US has an inflation problem everywhere else in the world is also gonna be affected

just the nature of USD being the worlds reserve currency

[small zinc]

Feel like that Corsair headset is more than my Astro A50 Gen 4

And the equalizer software utterly destroys Corsair.

[dry pike]

this not good enough?

[small zinc]

Corsair definitely upped their game, but I would argue that the equalizer in Command Center is still considerably better and more customizable

Having had both headsets myself now

Now. I'm most certainly not shitting on Corsair. I have the K100 keyboard and M65 wireless mouse. Huge fan of those

[dry pike]

I have not tried Command Center, how is it more customizable?
Just wondering, I don't have that many needs to customize my headsets 😄

Can actually change the values of each frequency

[candid flame]

I download DTS, I press the one button and bam it's done

[dry pike]

So more granularity or?

[dry pike]

this thing?

[candid flame]

yup

the license comes with my laptop

it's pretty good for what I need

[dry pike]

My Motherboard came with DTX Ultra, pretty crap app that only seems to work with external speakers

[candid flame]

check the microsoft store to see if you can get dts: headphone for free

[dry pike]

doesn't seem like it

oh, seems to be uncluded in the other app

[small zinc]

ohhhh, now that I'm interested in

Anyone know anything about external amplifiers?

Looking at getting a 5 or 7 channel amp to drive my LRC channels in my home theater. Currently running a 5.2 setup, but will likely upgrade to a 7.2.2 system soon enough with replacing my Front Left and Rights and moving my current speakers to full surround back speakers and leaving my current surrounds as is.

Anyway, Klipsch claims a speaker sensitivity of 96 dB rated at 1 watt. So if I do the math properly, based on ohms law, I'm guessing that essentially speakers rated at 130 watts without bi-amping (which seems pointless anyway) won't actually benefit much from an external amp other than adding another 12 dB of SPL

[dry pike]

I just have a 2:1 system for my computer due to lack of space and don't want the hassle of more speakers. But the 2:1 system is pretty badass so not complaining.

[small zinc]

Any input on this from anyone with speaker knowledge?

I'm curious on bi-amping anyway. Using 4 channels from say a 7 channel amplifier to drive the front L/R speakers. Add one dedicated channel to my center channel, and let my AVR processor handle the surround speakers since surround and Atmos height speakers don't really require as much power if it makes an actual difference

God knows I've read AVR forums until I'm blue in the face, and still can't seem to get a straight answer on whether external amps are pointless or not. But the more speakers you introduce into a system, the less power an AVR is going to be able to produce to each of those speakers too.

[dry pike]

Yeah... I just went with powered speakers 😄

My phone can drive my setup

[small zinc]

I guess more than anything, my only real thought process is perhaps a placebo effect on increasing sound intensity while simultaneously reducing the stress on the built in amp in an AVR by letting a pre-amp do all the work instead

nice.

lol

[nocturne drift]

I uninstall dts on sight

I just use my icue

Speaking of icue, if ram is unstable and u crash, all the fan profile in icue gets deleted.

OK. Hynix A die with decent tight timings gets unstable at around 48-49c

That's not much better than bdie tbh lol

[prime jasper]

can anybody who tried this game on both win 10 and 11 tell if the game performed better on each one?

[nocturne drift]

I never tested games but in synthetic benchmark I tested win10 vs 11in 2022 and win11 won.

This is with a 10th gen intel cpu, if u have newer intel or amd the benefit is prob even higher.

[prime jasper]

From the videos I've seen gaming performance is usually less than 5% variance between 10 and 11

[prime jasper]

i have a ryzen 5000 series one (11th gen equivalent) i have read that all the benchmarks are better yes but i don’t know about gaming performance, a lot people say it is worse specifically in the 1% lows

[nocturne drift]

Depends on enable or disable memory integrity/core isolation

For zen3 it won't really matter much.

Whatever u feel like is fine.

It's the 12th 13th gen, zen4 and esp zen4 3D u want win11 cause thread director etc.

The fps I am getting in destiny 2 is scary

W upgrade.

Soon my friend and I will compare fps in D2 when he gets his build sorted lol

[small zinc]

Beat me to it, lol. Just saw the performance predictions from Jim Keller

If that’s true, Intel ought to be a bit worried about that seeing as Intel is still stuck on a hybrid 7NM fab that still uses the same architecture as Alder Lake

Meteor Lake is kind of fucked

21.5% performance uplift on “Intel 4” which will still be 7nm fab if all that pans out.

Won’t be enough

[prime jasper]

I mean intel can keep up with Raphael on 10nm enhanced finfet, so I don't see how they wouldn't be able to do it again https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=82634

[molten flame]

[small zinc]

Bro. 7095X2 Ti

Waiting for that.

I have a 4090, but i'm coming from a 2080 Ti. That was one of the gimpiest purchases I've ever made. The 2080 Ti was such a stupid purchase. I wished i had never bought it, so I told myself I would never make such a stupid purchase like that again that was barely an upgrade hence why I didn't get Ampere. Ampere was pretty shitty.

[polar tundra]

is this dude talking to me

[crystal gorge]

I'm still playing with a 1080ti 🥸

[quick locust]

leet

[noble mica]

Real, I wish I worked more as a teen I woulda so bought one and still have to this day

[small zinc]

To me that was one of Nvidia's best GPU's ever made. I wished I never had upgraded to a 2080 Ti from a 1080 Ti. it was such a mediocre upgrade and not worth the money

[grizzled apex]

Tbh though, the 2080 and 2080 ti and 2080 super were a waste of money

Of the 2000 series, the 2070 and 2070 super were the best cards IMO. 1000 series was good but not for streaming

[candid flame]

Nvidia should include a free clown mask with every 4050 purchase

[dry pike]

4050 is a perfectly fine card, except for the name and the price

[small zinc]

Eh. I beg to differ. I can't exactly speak for streaming purposes, but the 1080 Ti was one of Nvidia's best launches besides the 580 and previous to that the 9800 GX2, and prior to that the GTX 7700

[dry pike]

1080ti was highly overpriced

[small zinc]

480 was trash aka Fermi. Ran super hot. And 680 and 780 were the same GPU beaten out by AMD with the 7870 Ghz Edition.

So honestly, the 9XX series were ok, but the 10XX were a pretty big upgrade

That was the last time AMD had beaten out Nvidia in the performance crown before RDNA 2 came along

[grizzled apex]

True but it was also equivalent in performance to a titan X pascal which was also more power hungry.

[tired notch]

any audiphile nerds here

im lisening to music on my new headphones and im maxing out the volume knob

but not loud enough

but only on certain songs

other songs im ok at 80%

should i get an headphone amp

here are the specs on the headphones 96 db / 1 mw , 50 ohms

[molten coral]

Older songs are usually a bit more quieter but otherwise it seems to me that you need an amp for more power

[tired notch]

cool

buying one now

[molten coral]

I've a Shiit stack

it's great

[tired notch]

il try a cheapo tube amp from amazon

if it sound good il return it and get a better one later

[tired notch]

seems like this is a good one

[nocturne drift]

Nah 1080ti was perfectly priced.

It's the GOAT of gpu

2080ti is a great card as well but Nvidia priced it ridiculously high, plus micron vram issue, plus severely power limited.

Esp severe power limit issue. It's basically - 15% on performance

[storm osprey]

I’ll follow my own advice

[prime jasper]

I have the same one

good choice

[winter tangle]

Come on take it out the box and show me

[storm osprey]

It’s just the board. I’m waiting on switches and keycaps to come in

[storm osprey]

It was between this and the epomaker th80, the translucent black won me over.

[dry pike]

Nah, Nvidia just managed to convince the public that it was, due to the lack of competition in the market. Still overprices as hell, not as much as GFX cards are now but still.

[nocturne drift]

I remember it was 700?

and it made 1080 like a joke

[molten flame]

1080 was $700 in 2016 then 1080Ti came out 2017 for $700 and 1080 went down to $500

[nocturne drift]

1080ti is GOAT, 2080ti is 2nd hand GOAT for cheap

[molten flame]

7800X3D outselling 5800X3D by nearly 2:1

That's for the first week of 7800X3D launch ofc

[prime jasper]

Sold out here

Nvm they haven't even arrived yet

Shipping delays

[nocturne drift]

That's cause 7800X3D is actually a good cpu

Unlike some from last months

[midnight crypt]

I want one

But i also want an entirely new system

[small zinc]

7950X3D and 7800X3D perform basically the same in gaming benchmarks

It’s less than 5% difference

But you still get the productivity benefits of double the cores with the 7950X3D

So it’s a tossup which one is “better”

The outlier is the 7900 which performs the worst of all 3

Most people are going to buy the 7800 though as the 3D CPUs are really designed for that specifically. Kind of a no brainer for $250 less if that’s all you buy it for

7950X3D does outperform the 7800 if you disable a CCX due to its much higher boost clock. But kind of also defeats the purpose of having 8 extra cores too.

[sleek aspen]

Imo the 7950x3d would be worthwhile if you're trying to invest in longevity (but mind you probably not too much more longevity)

A system with 7950x3d might be not in need of an upgrade to a newer processor for 1~2 years more than the 7800x3d imo.

In terms of affordability though, 7800x3d easily takes it and is more than appropriate for mid to high-end gaming systems.

Although another question, is the RX 7900 XT or the RTX 3080 a better buy?

[pale quartz]

the 3080 just loses, so theres your answer

[nocturne drift]

Same price 7900xt by far.

[molten flame]

7900XT like 7-10% faster than 6950XT

probably more than 10% going into future

[nocturne drift]

I won't pay a cent over 450-500 for a 3080

500 better be strix or suprim.

[north crow]

out of interest, if you happened to, say, have something compiling in the background (or other production workload) when you start a game, would the other 8 cores still get parked and slow down the compilation as well?

[molten flame]

$500 for a used strix 3080

or hall of fame

[nocturne drift]

Hall of fame.

There is not Ho 3080

[molten flame]

rip

cuz 3080 is cut-down silicon

[nocturne drift]

Is this 7950X3D?

If so yes.

[north crow]

yeah, 7950X3D

[nocturne drift]

Yep

[north crow]

thought that might be the case, shame 😛

[nocturne drift]

I know. What a joke

[north crow]

but I guess you wouldn't have the two running at the same time too often

[molten flame]

7800X3D removes nearly all the early adopter problems that the 7900X3D and 7950X3D have

[nocturne drift]

It's not early adopter, it's amd being a meme and squeezing $. I mean everyone does it.

Just have to see thru it urself

Nvidia and Intel does it too

[molten flame]

you have to tweak settings to get the most out of the 7950/7900X3D

[sleek aspen]

Guess there's always the Ryzen 9 8950x3d

When it comes out

[nocturne drift]

[nocturne drift]

Yeah just lasso ur entire os and program

[molten flame]

9950X3D more like

[sleek aspen]

Amd Ryzen Threadripper 5995WX3d when?

[molten flame]

the new 48-core Epyc Zen 4 CPU is like 10% faster than the 64-core TR 5995WX

pretty insane considering that Epyc always has lower clocks than Threadripper

[nocturne drift]

When LTT lab got the 7950X3D benchmark and it barely see any performance improvement, asked amd to send a new one. Still see barely any improvement, delayed the video for almost a month.

[molten flame]

[small zinc]

I guess that depends on Windows scheduler. That would be an interesting test.

Also, ignore Mazda. He's just salty that the 7950X3D still outperforms his 13900ks.

Even if it does perform slightly worse than a 7800X3D in specific game benchmarks

All his commentary regarding how "Bad" the 7950X3D is, is really just buyers remorse for his 13900ks

[prime jasper]

The LTT benchmarks seem like an issue on their end considering every other reviewer had consistent results

[small zinc]

That's because LTT has among some of the worst testing methodology when it comes to hardware reviews. LTT is an entertainer and thus gets paid on YouTube to do just that. Same goes for Jayz2Cents, Hardware Unboxed, and even Gamer's Nexus. They're all biased to a certain extent and therefore either tests get skewed, or numbers fudged. GN seems to be the most consistent, but for me nobody beats the unbiased testing methodology of Tom's Hardware

When you get paid to get clicks on your channel and AMD/Nvidia/Intel give you free hardware to "review", it isn't hard to see right through some of those "reviews" to keep whoever is supplying you and their shareholders happy.

Anyone know a mechanical keyboard similar to razer blackwidow elite where you have a nice wrist rest and media buttons+volume?

[nocturne drift]

techpower up uses 2x8 single rank last time in ddr4 era

I laughed so hard LOL

now I tell customers who plays single player games 7800X 3D, everything else 13900k

Exactly what FrameChaser said.

even tho he is a douche but he is right, got to give him credit

3070 was sht when launched

still is now

thats why no one in my friend's rig I built last year has it. its always 2080ti

[prime jasper]

TPU used a 5800x with single rank for testing for a while yeah, but to be fair the config they had could do the infinity fabric @2000mhz in 1:1

I'd imagine that would leverage decent performance

[nocturne drift]

depends. I can undervolt to make it draw almost no power at 1.29v at 5.6ghz or make it draw alot of power at 1.41v at 5.8ghz

intel is gonna be more efficient for me anyways since I can undervolt and power limit, undervolting and power limit amd wont fix its bs idle power which I do alot just watching youtube and listen to music

[prime jasper]

Youtube isn't exactly idle

That shit uses gpu and cpu

[nocturne drift]

I aint turning on that new nvdia feature

although its really cool!

watching some of my fav music video thats 480p using that was sooo cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHWxAdKK4Xg

but yeah if u have a balanced workload and usage

amd isnt all that power efficient. 3D versions could be alot more tho cause way less clockspeed

[prime jasper]

529€ vs 689€ 7800x3d vs 13900k

[nocturne drift]

if u are just gaming def 7800X3D

[prime jasper]

I would hope its faster lol

[nocturne drift]

oh that test was 7950X vs 13900k

u will save 4 euros a year with 13900k doing balanced workload

then again it all depends on ur workload

also in gaming. haha ur cpu is drawing 30 more watt! Let's ignore the fact ur fancy 3090 etc isnt drawing 350-400w in game 💀

u want cooler room go undervolt ur gpu

[cloud juniper]

So I've just started my setup and I got my ps5 connected to my odyssey g9. I've put it on split screen and I've tried connecting my switch to the monitor aswell with a displayport to hdmi adaptor but it won't show up on the screen

Anyone know why?

Do they both have be on the displayport? Or can one be on hdmi and the other on the displayport

[pale quartz]

err quite a bit actually

openGL and AV1/HEVC/h.264 are just 2 forms of acceleration which happen on one video, that's because you factor in the actual acceleration rendering of the page

[pale quartz]

the switch does not support displayport, it has to be through HDMI

[cloud juniper]

Just switch them two round and I'll be good yh?

[pale quartz]

should be, depends on the DP cable revision you've got for the PS5 specifically

if it's not the latest supported spec then 120hz will not work

[cloud juniper]

I'll test it out real quick

[pale quartz]

and as a reminder make sure you're on the latest firmware revision for the monitor

[nocturne drift]

idk if I should trust hwinfo but watching a 4k youtube the power difference is around 5-10w for cpu

now its actually less. about 5 or less

is it cause ecores?

[pale quartz]

depends on the processor

it could be accelerating AV1 on the iGPU, or the video may not be in AV1

too different per platform to cross compare

[nocturne drift]

true and I am not even gonna bother to learn about thread director

2023 me is no more dragon chasing, I just wanna play games and the fps increase is INSANE

I am actually so happy

[pale quartz]

not even the thread director, intel specifically is just a clusterfuck to nail down

since budget RPL is actually ADL and budget ADL is not ADL, the iGPU accel isn't the same across the SKUs or generations

only the RPL iGPU (specifically) supports AV1 acceleration

[nocturne drift]

true ocer buys mb with no igpu support

[nocturne drift]

the only thing I got stuck on was trcd at 44 instead of 45

[small zinc]

Intel doesn't even come close to AMD

[nocturne drift]

thats prob an ego problem

if u dragon chase u error out 20 mins in or even 1 hrs in

happened to me at trcd 44

I had similar experience doing 4133 for ddr4 on my last build, I just backed down to 4000

[small zinc]

Again. Mazda simply has buyers remorse over his 13900ks purchase when he saw that Zen 4 3D product line kind of spanked it.

Surely there must be something that shows the name of what's slotted in software wise.

So worse than a 3080 with decent power limit.

[storm osprey]

worse by 1 fps?

[nocturne drift]

3080 is very power limited because how much Samsung 8nm sips power.

U get a higher end 3080 with alot of power limit u should beat 4070

But gotta admit the efficiency of ada Lovelace is absolutely crazy

I wonder how close that 2080ti KP I had vs 4070. Prob within 10-15%

💀

[molten flame]

samsung 8nm was so bad tbh, TSMC 10nm is better iirc

[nocturne drift]

U mean Tsmc 12nm?

It's not better but it's like not any worse.

[quick locust]

4070 uses less power than my A770 lol

[pale quartz]

[quick locust]

[candid flame]

one thing for sure nobody will be buying the 4050

[small zinc]

Don't think anyone's going to be buying the 4070 either. Not at $600 MSRP.

Well. Maybe. Being that it's a 3080 for $100 bucks less....

Might not be a bad GPU afterall

[storm osprey]

and more vram

[nocturne drift]

The new Asus woled looks promising

what should i do?

[small surge]

Using cheat software? If not contact ea support

4050 6GB costs the same as 3060 12GB

[wheat portal]

Not cheat software

[midnight crypt]

Just reinstall EAC

[molten flame]

the RTX 4070 is by a good margin the absolute MOST cut-down xx70 class GPU chip in history, while also being the most expensive xx70 class in history

really should be a 4060Ti and cost $400-450

[nocturne drift]

We gonna pretend 6800xt and 6900xt doesn't exist.

Or second hand 3080, 3080 12gb, 3080ti and 3090.

[prime jasper]

689 reasons not to buy it

[storm osprey]

keychron v1 board, sea salt silent switches, durock v2 lubed stabs, akko black and bronze keycaps

[digital sierra]

Why would anyone need a 16gb ram phone tho

Might as well grab a laptop or pc

[celest mango]

mobile gaming

[tired notch]

id argue the future of mobile gaming is cloud gaming

so 16gb of ram is def overkill

[candid flame]

need 16gb of ram so you can get all those 360 noscope in cod mobile

[tired notch]

i mean

i have a dual screen phone

and i think 16gb of ram is overkill lol

this phone has 8 gb and i use it to run 2 apps side by side

and i NEVER cracked 6 gb lol

[digital sierra]

My guy i run a 8 gb ram phone

And codm works fine

A51, maybe already almost 4 years old

[quick locust]

I run a 4GB phone

A13

[digital sierra]

[turbid verge]

Mine has 12gb ram

[digital sierra]

[small zinc]

Now, whether or not I should be is a different question.

haha

Did I need a 7950X3D and 4090 system? Absolutely not.

In fact, the 4090 is kind of stupid at its core

[tired notch]

thats what being an tech enthusiast is

[quick locust]

I know some who does have the money but ye most of us are like that

[digital sierra]

idk man talking about stuff more expensive than the highest amount of money i have in my life savings is weird

[digital sierra]

yeah

[tired notch]

well just bc you talk about it doesnt me u will actually use it

[digital sierra]

yeah ik, just feels weird for some reason

lu bule atau tionghua?

[quick locust]

My gpu was 0$ though so best value

[tired notch]

look at Linus from LTT he has access tot he best tech stuff yet what he personally use is pretty mid

and its his job to talk about the lastest in tech

[digital sierra]

whats his specs?

idk

if youre saying a 3070 or the equivalent of that mid thats kinda funny

oh wait

is 3070 mid nowadays?

[tired notch]

yes

[digital sierra]

what

[tired notch]

i got a 3080 for 450 bucks thats pretty mid

[digital sierra]

fuck it im not falling to the pc master race propaganda

[digital sierra]

you get it for that cheap???

how???

[quick locust]

Eh well he uses a 7900 xtx at home

In a separate room wired with fiber thunderbolt

[quick locust]

Ya

[digital sierra]

jesus fucking christ yall are kidding me

how fast do gpus progress nowadays

i swear 3060 was like high spec 2 years ago

[quick locust]

I mean compared to current tech, not compared to what most people have lol

1650 and 3050 are very popular despite being stinky

[digital sierra]

well isnt gpu market is overpriced af?

[quick locust]

Not as much as 2021 but yes imo

Though won't change unless people stop buying it

[digital sierra]

cant run a pc/laptop without a gpu lol

[quick locust]

Integrated exists though its weak

I got my A770 for free but if I bought a gpu rn I would probably go 6800xt or something

Or 6750xt

[digital sierra]

is A770 good?

compared to 3060

[quick locust]

Its around 6650xt mostly

So somewhat better than 3060

Still has issues with some games though but yeah

[bright crow]

Sapphire RX 7900 XT GAMING or should i go for SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 7900 XT GAMING OC`?
Im looking a for a new gpu to get lol

[quick locust]

If you are running stock then they all pretty much perform the same

Look up reviews for noise on them

[digital sierra]

what the fuck

is 3060 that mid now?

fuck me imma go play bf1

[quick locust]

That it gets beat by Intel? Yes

But yeah it was a mid range gpu 2 years ago when it released in the lineup

Except the 8GB one that came laterbut w/e

[quick locust]

4060 probably comes soonish

They released half of lovelace so far

[digital sierra]

mines a 3060 ti

does the ti have a difference

or no

[quick locust]

Now just need amd to actually release more gpus
