[molten flame]

AMD's problem is not having software ready in time

[timber hearth]

not the soundboard drivers XD

but is there a backup software i can use ?

[molten flame]

introduced AI acceleration hardware in RDNA3 but the only thing you can do with it is AI models afaik, no AI training whatsoever

[pale quartz]

no their problem is they dont know how to make GPUs lol

its pretty straightforward

[timber hearth]

i only need to know a backup system for my image so i can bootup from the disk from a USB drive

[toxic wigeon]

Oh yeah does any one feel the 50 series will come out rushed?

[pale quartz]

no it wont

[willow schooner]

They have zero need to rush it. The ball is firmly in AMDs court. Nvidia are probably 20 years ahead R&D wise.

AMD playing catch up to the tech Nvidia released 5 years ago still.

[molten flame]

that's because it takes 5+ years for these things to develop

architectures take 4 years at minimum to develop from scratch

[willow schooner]

Yes, but when that product is inferior in almost all ways (DLSS > FSR) its quite disappointing

[molten flame]

DLSS had a 2 year head start

also FSR doesn't depend on AI hardware acceleration

[pale quartz]

yes and thats why its shit lol

[molten flame]

which is also why it can't beat DLSS

FSR does help keep old or weak GPUs around longer

[brave sundial]

How would it be rushed

This is the normal release gap, isn't it?

[quick locust]

Why would they rush it? They don't have competition

[molten flame]

Don’t even have to launch 5000 series at all

They could have waited til end of 2025 for 3nm to mature

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-launches-ryzen-7-8700f-at-269-and-ryzen-5-8400f-at-169

[candid flame]

that's really cheap

[brave sundial]

What's the catch

[candid flame]

it's not as good as the 7800x3d

[brave sundial]

The 7800X3D is already great value

I'd spend the $100 more for that

[storm osprey]

just give it time and these will be priced stupidly low at some point

[modest tartan]

AMD is dogshit asf, my pc is crashing occasionally and literally is really new (RX6700XT) This Issue is known but i cannot fix it , its saying the drivers are not compatible ... just shittalking and anoying

[dry pike]

To shorten that. AMD sucks. Sample size: 1.

[turbid verge]

I have a 7800X3D with a 3070 and its solid

Never had issues

[dry pike]

Just sounds like the user needs to use DDU or do a new Windows installation.

[candid flame]

or maybe a better psu

[modest tartan]

i am talking about GPU

[modest tartan]

buddy i did everything it does not help

[turbid verge]

skill issue

[modest tartan]

i did DDU , i did AMD Utility Clean up , i did Windows 11 Media Creation Tool .... does not fix

[modest tartan]

very logic answear "skill issue" of having AMD Card

[brave sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

I have an all amd pc and experienced basically no issues for years

6600XT

[coarse nimbus]

wow, shill

[brave sundial]

[winter ether]

Like one of them pickup truck drivers “I’ve had my Chevy the last 30 years and never had a problem” this will be funny if you’re American and understand the joke

[winter ether]

Or this better represents your claim LOL

“Sample size: 1”

[brave sundial]

If a majority of users reported issues with AMD GPUs, wouldn't it be all over the news?

You know, like Asus having horrible after sales service / rma process

[coarse nimbus]

no because amd spends its marketing budget buying the news stations out, theyre covering for team red

[brave sundial]

you know too much

[lofty light]

I’ve got a 3900X and a 7900XTX and after some teething issues installing the drivers I’ve had no issues

[molten flame]

3900X bottleneck

[toxic wigeon]

Manic is running an ultrawide.

So I think it won't be AS bad?

[lofty light]

The games I’m playing it’s not an issue

Hell I shouldn’t have bought the xtx with the games I’m playing

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-and-mediatek-reportedly-working-on-pc-and-gaming-handheld-socs

[candid flame]

future proofing

xtx rocks

[pale quartz]

not particularly future proofing anything with it

only GPU that qualifies for that type of criteria would be a 4090

[candid flame]

the xtx can surely last for a couple years right

[quick locust]

Nah next year they make DirectX only compatible on Nvidia GPUs /s

[candid flame]

[brave sundial]

It has 24gb vram, it better be.

[pale quartz]

if you mean raster then yes it'll be fine, but other than that it has nothing else going for it

[pale quartz]

VRAM doesn't mean anything, it only has 24gb to separate it from the xt, it's just a higher vram 4080

the card will be long dead before that type of memory configuration is even used daily

[brave sundial]

I can see why amd will now more focus on the budget and value segment of the gpu market

[pale quartz]

they need to because they can't compete at the high end lol

it's just a worse 4080, except you don't get anything with it, what you do get is hardware defects which can't be fixed

[brave sundial]

intel will be our new hope

[toxic wigeon]

What specific hardware defects?

[lofty light]

[toxic wigeon]

To be honest.

Big thing about the xtx was that it was cheaper.

[pale quartz]

RDNA3 cannot record 1080p AV1 correctly

[lofty light]

Xtx I got because it was a looot cheaper than a 4080 here, and used less power

[pale quartz]

it is a silicon defect at the hardware level

[toxic wigeon]

I still think it's a good yet annoying card. I say this because my mate got a lot of crashes cause it auto boosted past its limits.

[pale quartz]

instead the video is exported to 1082p and looks crushed

[toxic wigeon]

Ah yeah.

[lofty light]

Never had any weird issues with mine, it’s been solid so far touch wood

[toxic wigeon]

Ohhhh

Good card!

[pale quartz]

you will, just try recording 1080p video

the format is 1920x1082 if not cut off

[lofty light]

I won’t I have an ultrawide

[toxic wigeon]

What's the projected draw of the 5080?

[lofty light]

I assume it’s the same for that

[toxic wigeon]

I wonder if there's anything floating around about that.

[pale quartz]

UW is not affected, 1080p res only

[lofty light]

Oh then I’ll never have that issue lol

[pale quartz]

probably about the xtx at max draw

about there anyways

depends on the efficiency curve for the fe it could be as small as that or as big as the 4090

[toxic wigeon]

Ohhh like 400 give or take

[pale quartz]

350-400 is realistic

[toxic wigeon]

Ye

I was surprised hearing that the 4080 had the same draw as my 3080.

Nvm the 7800x3d.

[pale quartz]

ampere efficiency is crazy

[toxic wigeon]

I'm not mad but like literal upgrade huh.

[pale quartz]

just not at max power draw

[toxic wigeon]

I saw a video about the 1080ti from GN cause I wanted to better understand the card and yeah we have come a long way efficiency wise.

[pale quartz]

4080 curve can be locked to 80/85% for a 50 watt reduction and only a few percent loss, same as the 4090

it already draws much less than the xtx for the same performance so it just becomes a non competition

[toxic wigeon]

What's your 4090's average draw by the way?

[pale quartz]

my fe is locked at 80% it's about 320w about there

[toxic wigeon]

Jesus.

[pale quartz]

depends on the game uncapped 320 if capped goes down to like 200 something

[toxic wigeon]

Capped to what frame?

[pale quartz]

165

[toxic wigeon]

To be fair I would keep it capped cause it always helps me to have headroom.

Not because I can't but more akin of "At least I won't blue screen any time soon!"

[pale quartz]

if you have low latency enabled the frame cap doesn't make a difference since the card caps itself but ye

rtss + reflex is also an option

[toxic wigeon]

I would like to take advantage of DLAA to be honest.

If my GPU handles a game supremely well why not turn it on.

[pale quartz]

because not all games support it

[toxic wigeon]

As long as it's some dlss stuff yeah.

[pale quartz]

it's not guaranteed it works even if it has dlss

[toxic wigeon]

Ah right

[pale quartz]

the game has to use the v3+ stack, you can't use say dlaa in 2042, etc

[brave sundial]

Would over 30gb vram be realistic to expect for a 5090?

[pale quartz]

no

24/30gb is what it will have 90%

over 30GB is reserved for server it won't come to consumer cards, there's no need for it

[toxic wigeon]

Vram munchies

[molten flame]

[pale quartz]

people get hung up on memory even when they aren't doing things that even use it to begin with

unless you're doing cuda/editing/at 4k it's mostly redundant

[toxic wigeon]

Isn't VRAM more important on lower end cards?

[pale quartz]

no, it's less important there if anything

low end cards can't render high resolution well to begin with

[brave sundial]

I mean I was just asking because they might market it as an insane value cuda/ai card and all that

because it is in that regard

[pale quartz]

nah, they don't want you buying it for that

if you're doing AI, you're buying server, not that

[brave sundial]

but what about for consumers like me who are interested?

just a tiny minority then?

[pale quartz]

then you'll need to buy it or a 4090 so your other options are nonexistent

[brave sundial]

yeah

[pale quartz]

they won't market for that though, CUDA/ML users are a fraction of a minority of halo buyers

90% of that consumer base are HPC users

well if they try to they're stupid put it that way

[brave sundial]

reddit once again fooled me into thinking there was a substantial following behind consumers running local models

I'll just put this on

[pale quartz]

lol definitely not, of the discrete market the number of GPU owners who have cards able to run that at all are less than 5% of the market, and the number of those owners who would even consider to are a fraction of that percent, so you're talking like 0.5%, if you're being very optimistic

and even if you are wanting to run a model, it's not economical to go and buy a 4090 when you can spend a monthly fee for someone else to do it for you

[brave sundial]

much smaller than the people who still do mining right?

[pale quartz]

for sure, significantly smaller

if you're talking about the crypto market at its peak anyways

[brave sundial]

Yeah I know. But there are reasons to.

Not considering it as a main reason to get a high end nvidia card

but as another justification

[pale quartz]

the problem for you specifically is if you want that, at all, you have no other choice

so it's that or nothing

[brave sundial]

so a very strong reason to get one

[pale quartz]

if you put it that way yeah lol

just you'll be wanting to upgrade the power supply in the process

AI/ML compute on draw is pretty insane so you're running on a fire risk doing that on a adapter

[brave sundial]

yeah I know about that

[pale quartz]

I was pretty happy getting rid of the rats nest of 8 pin cables anyways makes things much cleaner for maintenance

[quick locust]

Just buy a couple hundred H100s

[brave sundial]

Ah yes, I have the infrastucture to install and fully utilise that

[vernal pendant]

samsung spent 4 years perfecting SSDs that silently lose data, glad they're finally getting recognition for their efforts

[pale quartz]

that was a firmware issue

it was fixed just after launch

[vernal pendant]

which one

the 870 issue where the firmware update just brute forces the shitty cells or the 980 issue

[pale quartz]

980

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/tcl-csot-unveils-worlds-first-4k-1000-hz-display-panel

4K 1000Hz

[candid flame]

why

[pale quartz]

1: DP 2.1 monitor
2: at this level of refresh rate you can eliminate tearing/flickering in games as briefly mentioned in the article

[brave sundial]

when will we get miniled monitors

[frigid condor]

Do you mean micro?

[brave sundial]

I confused the two

that's why I felt I've seen an article of one that came out but I couldn't actually find it

[frigid condor]

Well, microled has to mature a bit, just like oled 7 years ago

I'd say give it 4 years and we'll see consumer microled monitors

[brave sundial]

Yeah, exciting tech. oled will no longer have such huge drawbacks

[frigid condor]

The closest thing we have to oled right now is miniled, and it does its job pretty good

If you're looking for something like oled but without the risk of burn-in, get a miniled monitor

[pale quartz]

yeah the only problem is, it's not close

mini LED for HDR content still needs to cause a massive photon latency increase because of algorithmic issues

so GTG response times are nowhere near OLED

[frigid condor]

Tbf, oled is a completely different technology, so that would be expected

But, an average person won't notice the difference between 1ms and 0,03ms

[pale quartz]

you definitely, can see that difference lol

[frigid condor]

If you say so

[pale quartz]

GTG response times are not end latency, they are direct to the monitor

saying someone can't notice the difference between a delay and not when moving a mouse is not correct

it's not like refresh rates where there is physics to correspond that people can perceive motion differently

[quick locust]

don't apply liquid metal like me

[turbid verge]

Iam not even gonna question why do that to your mobo

but thats one way to bust one

or near

[coarse nimbus]

liquid metal was a mistake

[turbid verge]

isnt liquid metal conductive?

could be a good way to short circuit a mobo

[brave sundial]

rip those pins

[pale quartz]

yes

[molten flame]

waiting for 7800X3D to be under $300 when Zen 5 launches

or maybe 7950X3D at $400

[brave sundial]

for gaming the 7800x3d seems to be just fine. No need to go all out with a 7950 if you just want to game.

but getting all those more cores and threads for only $100 more is pretty enticing

[molten flame]

GTA 6 requires 16 cores minimum on PC

[turbid verge]

and a waiting release till 2027 too lol

You call that a powerful fan

Get a jet turbine

that is what you call extreme cooling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj4w7i-TqsE this is what you call cooling, it releases so much heat, it makes flames

[white apex]

What (2nd hand) GPU you'd recommend for playing BF2042 in 1440p?
No need for max details.

[pale quartz]

framerate?

[white apex]

Around stable 120 fps would be cool, I reckon
Also, got a 180Hz monitor if that has any effect

[pale quartz]

don't buy ampere cards, they are not worth the money

4070/ti is fine for your use case

[toxic wigeon]

To be fair I'm recommending the minimum.

[pale quartz]

if you want 120 at absolute all times you're going to need a 4080 class card

[toxic wigeon]

4070ti super is technically the same card too.

Or some shit.

[pale quartz]

180 frames at 1440p will require a 4080s with DLSS or a 4090 if you want native, 4070/tis is usable if you want 120 average and not 180

those are your options

[toxic wigeon]

There's the other question too. What's your CPU.

?

[white apex]

Well, I am on RX570 atm and get like 60fps in 1080p when there are no smoke grenades 🙂

Ryzen 1600af, 16GB RAM, RX570 8GB

[pale quartz]

oh no the processor needs to go too lol

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah a new CPU will do you nicely.

[pale quartz]

basically need a entire platform upgrade with something like that

[white apex]

The news I feared 🙈

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah unfortunately that's it.

To be fair though you're a few gens behind so the gains you'll... gain will be astronomical.

[pale quartz]

few gens behind doesn't cut it

1600af is zen+ it's around a 80% differential in ipc

[toxic wigeon]

I'll say this though.

Or actually ask.

What's your priority? Your game running well under your resolution or a processor that can better process shit.

[pale quartz]

no there's no option here

the processor has to go

[toxic wigeon]

Oh no I understand though some people may upgrade one piece at a time and hold out till the new gpu.

Or vice versa.

[pale quartz]

that isn't an option

if he upgrades one the other will be held back and vice versa

[toxic wigeon]

You can put the part in. While a bottle neck will happen it's not like it's gonna be like that for a year.

[white apex]

A, running well in my resolution

[pale quartz]

you can put it in, if the part mandates it, if it's a 3080, or something, this is a 570/1600af

that combination is that old you cannot do that

[white apex]

Also, bf2042 is by far the most demanding game I play...a new BF game isnt coming any time soon, is it?

[pale quartz]

fall 2025

[toxic wigeon]

Since you main battlefield hard I would really recommend a new processor.

[pale quartz]

way no he needs both

one isn't an option here

[toxic wigeon]

Ehhh the reason why I'm on this trail is because some people may not upgrade both parts a once. If he's up for it then sure.

[pale quartz]

you don't realise how bad in performance a 570 actually is he will see next to no difference switching it out whilst it is in

it can't even sustain 60 frames in most games at 1080p nowadays

[toxic wigeon]

If you want a new processor by the way @white apex get the 7800x3d. The 4070ti super is a super good pair for it.

[pale quartz]

the 5800x3d is an option, albeit questionable value to buy

better off just getting a new platform entirely

[toxic wigeon]

Rams a big factor I'd say too

And board type

[pale quartz]

it's not for the x3d

vcache renders ram sensitivity performance differences mute

[white apex]

the board is a random Asus with BF450

[toxic wigeon]

Ah yeah

[pale quartz]

your board will have zen 3 support but it's extremely questionable that you buy it

am5 combo with a board isn't that much more for gaining future upgradability support

7600x/7800x3d are your main targets, DDR5 sensitivity factors in though with the first

[white apex]

So, with a new BF game coming next year, an upgrade to AM5, 32GB RAM, Ryzen 7 & minimum 4070 is desirable...
Kids, summer holiday at the seaside is off, dad need new hardware! 😆

[pale quartz]

if you're intending to "future proof" for the next game then a 4080 becomes your minimum standard

you more or less need current high end hardware for that

with that being said it may not be a unwise option, Blackwell is being announced soon and current prices on the second hand market will inevitably destabilise in the process

it may be in your interest to wait depending on how impatient you want to be, combined with that and the imminent announcement of zen 5 (Ryzen 9000) it will work out as better value

[candid flame]

just buy a new 7800xt

still pretty good card

[pale quartz]

new 7800xt is bad value for what he's wanting

2042 doesn't have fsr, it won't reach the framerates he's wanting

[white apex]

I upgrade usually every 5 years. Meaning I buy new board, cpu, ram, psu + 2nd hand gpu

[candid flame]

it should still break the 60fps line without upscaling, though?

[pale quartz]

he is wanting 120-180 average at 1440p

[candid flame]

oh

rip

[white apex]

Would stable 100 fps render the potential purchase cheaper? 😄

[pale quartz]

if that is the case then your target should be a 4080 level class card

[candid flame]

hopefully the next game has xess and fsr as well, but the next game is a long wait from now

[pale quartz]

5 years is long though, I question if 16gb at 1440p will sustain then

put it this way a 4080 or 4090 is what you need for your use case

[candid flame]

probably will with more aggressive upscaling tech and perhaps better directx

https://www.techpowerup.com/319793/microsoft-directsr-super-resolution-api-brings-together-dlss-fsr-and-xess

[white apex]

Well, I did not plan on picking, let alone liking, BF2042, caught me by surprise 🙂

[pale quartz]

it won't have directSR most likely

[pale quartz]

gauge the price for cards of a 4080 and 4090 and choose accordingly, be aware there's about a 30% difference in performance between them, so if you're wanting to go for the long haul then the 4090 is ideal

your power supply will probably need to be scrapped aswell

[white apex]

Yeah, 550W was nice to have

[pale quartz]

if you go for the 4090 then 850 watts will be the minimum you need

atx 3 additionally

[candid flame]

I am excited for windows 11 24h2

should come any day now

[pale quartz]

it's already out

[candid flame]

[pale quartz]

24h2 is live in the developer branch has been for about 2 weeks

[candid flame]

ah

thanks for the info lol

[pale quartz]

July/August is when it will come to stable for x86

[candid flame]

I should be able to access it with the the windows insider program right

[pale quartz]

yes

[candid flame]

nice

[pale quartz]

just choose developer it will download the 24h2 build

[white apex]

Thanks guys, much appreciated 😉 Though a sad outlook for my purse 😀

[toxic wigeon]

I'm wondering if I should go for w11 but w10 does what I need anyways.

[pale quartz]

np

I mean if you care about hdr then W11 is mandatory

dynamic lighting caso etc isn't on 10 either

[candid flame]

also DirectSR

gonna try that out

[pale quartz]

you can't try, directsr

it is a game implementation API only not a global level toggle

[candid flame]

isn't it a toggle in the graphics setting option

[pale quartz]

no, it's only implemented per game, and none use it currently

well one or two games do but nothing significant

[candid flame]

ah there's an option to toggle on automatic super resolution in the setting

[pale quartz]

yes that depends on directSR, but you can't test it as no games use it currently

tldr the option doesn't do anything yet

[candid flame]

oh 😦

[pale quartz]

the next GTA or some blockbuster title next year will probably have integration for it but extremely unlikely any will this year

the API was only made available 3 months ago so it's still very fresh

tbh dynamic lighting is such a killer feature it renders not using 11 at a minimum kinda absurd

[candid flame]

that the feature that gets rid of all the rgb bloatwares right

[pale quartz]

yeah

unified RGB control via the settings

laptop users benefit the most weirdly due to things like caso which are revolutionary

well actually nah I take that back RTX HDR doesn't work with 10 either, so it's universal ig

[candid flame]

mine doesn't benefit from caso because minimum requirement is a 11th gen cpu lol

[pale quartz]

old laptop moment

[candid flame]

10th gen sucks ass

[pale quartz]

I still love my g14 even though I sold it months ago such a elegant laptop to use

matrix display is a genius invention

[candid flame]

I have an external monitor so at least I can squeeze some extra performance out of this laptop

[quick locust]

My laptop has been great

Haven't had as many hours on it as my previous due to work taking most of my time nowadays but ye

[quick locust]

My handheld has a faster cpu than my desktop now

[brave sundial]

now I can have synced rgb with my mouse and laptop keyboard

no more ghub rubbish

[glad lotus]

yo guys is 4070 super overkill for BF5?

[pale quartz]

no

at 1080p or lower, yes

[glad lotus]

can it run 4k at 120 fps?

[pale quartz]

depends on your processor, it should sustain it though

[glad lotus]

5900x + 4070 super?

[pale quartz]

I don't know about zen 3, you're going to be IPC capped in battlefield 5 specifically, it should achieve it but the 5900x is a unknown

it's a old game and little to no one has that combination

with the 5900x it's going to be dependent on your memory so, the answer is yes it should do it, but it's not guaranteed based on those factors

[glad lotus]

32 gb ddr4 3600 mhz would be good?

[pale quartz]

cas latency?

[glad lotus]

uh its not mentioned

[pale quartz]

then you'll need to find out what it is lol

[glad lotus]

its 3600 mhz cl18 how do I calculate the cas latency I forgot lol

[pale quartz]

you didn't forget, you don't know what it is, CAS latency is the cl rating

cl183600 is fine, you should be able to get what you're wanting in bf5

[glad lotus]

yea lol 😅

is cl16 better than cl18?

[pale quartz]

yes

not to a degree which is important for your use case, though

[glad lotus]

are mechanical keyboards better than membrane ones?

[brave sundial]

It mostly comes down to feel and feedback you get when pressing keys

[quick locust]

It is a preference

[brave sundial]

no actual advantage

[quick locust]

Use a buckling spring keyboard to assert dominance over coworkers in an office

[brave sundial]

wait that old style of switches?

[quick locust]

Old loud switch that original IBM keyboards used.

[brave sundial]

Well now everyone in the office can hear your glorious keyboard

[quick locust]

That or use a typewriter

I actually have one

Might actually need to upgrade my cpu sometime

I am actually cpu bottlenecked even on A770 in some games

Plus load and compile times

My handheld cpu is faster than my desktops

[glad lotus]

i have never used a mechanical keyboard so idk how it feels

[quick locust]

They vary a lot, there's a lot of different types on key switches.

[brave sundial]

Yeah, the amount of different switches can get overwhelming

[quick locust]

I recommend trying them in person in retail stores

Then you can get a feel before buying any

[brave sundial]

But quite a few tech stores have dedicated stands with multiple types of switches, you could always go there and try them out

[quick locust]

Unless someone steals all the key caps that is

[brave sundial]

[quick locust]

Ya I recommend doing this

[glad lotus]

the one I bought has blue switches is it good?

[willow schooner]

I want to get a Wooting 80HE. Analog switches seem like they might be nice for actuation customization

[quick locust]

Mx blue?

Also its a preference so unless it has technical issues, whether its good or not depends on your own experience

[glad lotus]

there are no computer stores near me 💀

[glad lotus]

yea

[brave sundial]

[willow schooner]

MX blues are very clicky/noisy. But a lot of people seem to liek them. They have a tactile bump when they register a press (Actuation point) and a very loud click. Something that might become annoying for you/others around you.

[quick locust]

I use mx blues

[brave sundial]

Oh, that's a nice one.

[quick locust]

From many years ago when I bought it

[willow schooner]

For example if you game at night, or when others may be resting/sleeping...blues may be an issue

[brave sundial]

I'm interested in the budget boards that have gimmicks like screens

[quick locust]

Volume knob board

Or PC122 boards

[brave sundial]

Like the gmk87

Has a screen and a knob

[glad lotus]

bruh 💀 ig I made a mistake

[brave sundial]

While being tkl, layout that I like

[quick locust]

Its a preference

[quick locust]

I always go full size lol

[brave sundial]

There's no advantage from picking one switch over the other

It's your choice

What you like. Noisy and clicky, or silent

[glad lotus]

silent

[quick locust]

Then blues are opposite

😛

[glad lotus]

💀

[glad lotus]

this is exactly what I do 💀

I play BF5 at night

[willow schooner]

Get reds or browns of you want silent. Reds are linear and have no bump or feeling when they reach the actuation point, browns have a bump. Both do not have a click

But if I were you, id cancel that order

[glad lotus]

idk why but red and brown switch keyboards are very expensive here

blue is very cheap

[quick locust]

There's other brands as well

[dry pike]

Few people want blue. Too noisy and hard to click. Making them less good for both gaming and working with other people. That being said, they are very nice to click for a few minutes - you are never in doubt if it has registered your click. I would probably use blues if I was sitting alone in my writing study making a book.

[ivory creek]

i got optical switches that are built to be like red once, but i cant say that they are quiet as it makes alot of sound when u bottom them out still. i cant see why anyone would want more noice ontop of that

[dry pike]

If you hate your collegue next to you at work its great 😄

[ivory creek]

[molten coral]

my keyboard is pretty much silent

Basically an M1/M2 chip but worse and with worse support

[brave sundial]

Hey that would be the intel 9 15th gen with a 5090. The new x3d will be slightly cooler

[molten flame]

a 14900K(S) puts out like 3x the amount of heat as a 7800X3D

would get a room noticeably warm faster

[pale quartz]

yes but it also draws significantly less at idle state

zen 4 draw on AM5 from the chipset and processor is about 40 watts at rest 14th gen is about 5-10 watts

[molten flame]

is AM4 worse?

[pale quartz]

no it's about the same

[molten flame]

it's that I/O die I swear

I get they made em to withstand high temps but DAMN

[dry pike]

I have one as well, I know 😄

[coarse bramble]

Personal heater fr fr won’t need to use extra power in the winter

[lofty light]

Don’t they design those cpus to clock as high as they can before reaching temp limits?

So they’ll always be hot?

[turbid verge]

At this point just go for what you like and what your budget allows

At this point the cpu market is well settled and you can just pick what you prefer

[coarse bramble]

basically

bc even when i turn off everything that has to do with CPU OC in bios it still wants to run at its max no matter what

[willow schooner]

You can mostly fix it with PBO tuning

Basically by setting a negative curve optimizer

Can then also set the power or thermal limits to reduce temps

This video is relatively short/straight forward in showing how this is achieved

https://youtu.be/FaOYYHNGlLs?si=RAIsCKMEazvT8ylQ

[coarse bramble]

thnx u

[willow schooner]

No problem. I think you said you have a 7900x, which I previously also had. Doing this was a great help.

Although one thing I would do which is different from what he recommends, is instead of setting the negative curve optimizer to 30 to begin with, start at 10 and go upwards to test for stability.

What curve optimizer does is tries to use more (Positive value) or less (Negative value) voltage to achieve the same clocks. So id start at negative 10 or 15, see if its stable (Play some games and/or do some benchmarks like cinebench r23 to check)

[ivory creek]

i wonder when you will be able to order custom gpus with faster memory types and stuff from tech stores... someone apparently managed to make a 4070 ti super faster than a 4080 super by changing memory and using tools to overclock it

[quick locust]

Dont think Nvidia would allow that

[ivory creek]

what they dont know wont hurt them

[midnight crypt]

They will know

[willow schooner]

These mods are always unstable as fuck TBH. They basically replace the memory modules and OC to beat synthetic benchmarks...but these same GPUs crash constantly/randomly when gaming.

[ivory creek]

fair

it would be cool tho

having a gpu thats abit different from everyone else

[pale quartz]

never, selling modified Nvidia cards is illegal, you can only sell what they allow you too

[brave sundial]

It isn't illegal if you don't get caught

[ivory creek]

i mean laws are different depending on which country you're in. im sure i can find some where its okey

[pale quartz]

yes in countries which don't respect copyright law maybe, so a whole 1% of countries

if you want to visit China to be able to do that, be my guest, but you won't find it in a store near you

[ivory creek]

true

[quick locust]

Copyright? Never heard of her

[ivory creek]

the performance overlay of nvidia keep freezing for me after a while

so i have to restart my computer to get it to show the correct fps etc

annoying

use the windows gaming overlay

it's better

[ivory creek]

i heard someone mention xbox gamebar

how do u get it to show?

btw deco i undervolted my 5800x3d by negative 28 in bios and the temps are alot lower now and no instability

and i get to keep my max clock way longer

time to ditch windows

[midnight crypt]

it doesnt sound very legal

[brave sundial]

Nice, another thing to uninstall through powershell

[candid flame]

you can turn it off or set it to exclude what you don't want it to look at

it's like the current search indexing but faster?

[pale quartz]

1: it is legal 2: it runs on device only and yeah you can turn it off

[candid flame]

also pretty sure you have to get all the hottest AI CPUs from AMD and Intel and Qualcomm (lmao) to run this

[pale quartz]

yeah it won't work with any current desktop processor

[candid flame]

AMD has the 8700f which has AI, doesn't it

that should be able to run it

[pale quartz]

8700f doesn't meet the TOP requirements iirc, so it won't be able to run

the "AI features" on it needs a discrete card

[candid flame]

so the AI function of the 8700f does fuck-all?

[pale quartz]

yes

[candid flame]

lmao

APU with disabled gpu and an useless AI function

[toxic wigeon]

Do we know if it's off by default?

[pale quartz]

it won't be off by default

it's for accelerators having it off is antithetical to that

[toxic wigeon]

Annoying as fuck.

at least the supoprted game are alright

but not close to what windows is atm

[quick locust]

They showed Arch with a mediatek cpu and a Nvidia gpu

Also theres been support for ARM gaming handhelds

Not that I have anything ARM to test

[turbid verge]

Think with linux and gaming at best is the steamOS

Atm there isnt a linux OS that u say ots the best for gaming

Well that new feature is about to cease to exist

[brave sundial]

Again, I think it's a great feature. But I absolutely would not trust MS with it

[pale quartz]

it's a feature no one here can run, so it's redundant

and as before it's entirely on device only, fear mongering is deceptive for so called privacy concerns

[quick locust]

Imagine not having an npu

Couldnt be me

[burnt coyote]

@pale quartz its not fear mongering its common sense something like this will 100% be exploited

also microsoft cannot be trusted with something like this

[ivory creek]

whats wrong with microsoft?

[burnt coyote]

giant corporations like this cant be trusted by default its common sense

[ivory creek]

okey

lol

[pale quartz]

"it's common sense", no, it's fear mongering

you have 0 clue how the data is stored on the device for snapshots and are making a claim that it's going to be exploited, that's exactly what fear mongering is

and again, for the second time, Microsoft do not touch the data, no data is sent from the device to any server, have some due diligence than paranoia

no it had a caching issue recently so when it updates because it's not interlinked by steam it can reset itself

EAC isn't to do with it

[ivory creek]

aight

i use the ea overlay on bf2042 to see my fps

[coarse bramble]

What was the exact reason they mixed origin and ea interfaces again

why not just use steams overlay

[coarse bramble]

I’ve noticed after that everything just does not work properly

[ivory creek]

nvidia performance overlay tend to freeze on me after like an hour of use

[pale quartz]

nah steams overlay

there's a FPS counter you can turn on in the settings under interface

[ivory creek]

yeah im using the steam overlay

ea was a typo

oh you mean the opposite as in it runs via EA gotcha

seems like a annoying setup to do I'd just get EA play on steam at that point

samsung claim that their microleds combine everything of all worlds

lets see if its actually true when they come down in real consumerprices

[willow schooner]

AMD claim their GPUs are the best. Things manufacturers say isn't always true

[coarse bramble]

i wish the market became more saturated with high herts 1440p monitors

[willow schooner]

There are lots of great ones. They just aren't cheap

[coarse bramble]

1080p just aint it anymore imo, it gets the job done for sure, but when it comes to games where people took time to make it look nice, it just doesnt let u capture all of that with 1080

[pale quartz]

that's impossible

[coarse bramble]

thats what i mean, wish it was more affordable

[pale quartz]

burn in is a inherit attribute of OLED

[coarse bramble]

what if i water cooled my monitor tho...

[willow schooner]

Yes, but they are lots better now at removing/preventing it.

[ivory creek]

i went for a qled tv instead of oled cuz of fear for burn in

[pale quartz]

for TVs it's more of a potential problem than monitors

most monitors have warranty burn in protection for about 3 years now depending on the manufacturer, but TVs will idle content by default

[coarse bramble]

does burn in effect the actual material of the screen itself?

as in, its non reversible unless u replace that material?

[pale quartz]

yes

[coarse bramble]

thats cooked

youd think by now wed have something to prevent that

[pale quartz]

there are, but there's no full proof solution

LCD/OLED are prone to burn in under different conditions, it's just drawbacks of their technology

[coarse bramble]

so are there viable monitors that arent stupid expensive that dont have burn in? or at that point just get a tv?

[ivory creek]

i had my cellphone on max brightness for a while and now i have burn ins on it. its an oled display

[willow schooner]

Pixel refresh stuff that current gen oleds have mostly can reverse perceicable burn in, even after months of a display being kept on a static image. So it's not all doom and gloom

[pale quartz]

if you mean monitors which are 100% resistant to burn in, no there isn't, the only ones that are, are micro LED, but you won't find those in any price category under $1k

LCD will cause burn in of the back display if it's operating at high temperatures due to degradation and OLED is just due to the diodes themselves

[coarse bramble]

gahhhh damn why must the working man be subject to the follies of technology 😔

[ivory creek]

hm

neuralink chips that display pictures right into our brains so we see stuff perfectly

[pale quartz]

fantasy project by Elon lol

[coarse bramble]

so say ur playing a really demanding game on one monitor and a not so demanding game on the other, would the more demanding game have a shorter burn in time bc it uses more power or is that not how that works

[pale quartz]

neuralink itself is bound by bandwidth constraints

[pale quartz]

latter

the power of the monitor is driven by the graphics card not the display itself

a monitor just synchronises itself with relevant EDID data for things like HDR and gsync/freesync, the actual command time is done by the GPU to minimise latency in the buffer pipeline

[coarse bramble]

ok i assumed as much i just thought maybe since more colors, more power

ahhhh ok, i can say i have noticed a lot less tearing and ghosting with a g sync monitor

[pale quartz]

technically you could do that, if the monitor supports 10/12 bit, then it "could" draw more, but those are still driven by the driver itself

there isn't enough bandwidth in non DP 2.1 signalling to handle maximum refresh rates in combination with 10/12 without DSC anyways

[coarse bramble]

ive always heard this goofy ahhhh argument that ppl cant see a difference in anything above 90fps/ 90hz whats yalls opinion on that

bc when i play anything thats 90fps and switch to something even 110-120fps i can notice a very large improvement

[willow schooner]

I can't see it, but I can feel the difference

[dry pike]

As we get well above 100 FPS the diminishing returns set in, first it's not really the visuals but more of a feeling of responsiveness that's left and then at some point at 150 that kinda goes away as well.

[willow schooner]

There is a huge difference between running 2042 at 100 or 300 fps.

[ivory creek]

theyre apparently working on 1000hz monitors. anything less is garbage

[dry pike]

focusing on high average FPS makes little sense though if the stutters and fluctuations like 1% and 0,1% lows are there. I would rather have 150 FPS where it's just constant 150 with no dips at all thant I want 300FPS with uneven FPS and low FPS microstuttering.

[willow schooner]

I run this game at a relatively consistent 250-300 FPS. So its fine for me

[ivory creek]

i let bf2042 run everywhere between 80-120fps in 4k

aslong as its over 60 im happy

[coarse bramble]

4k 2042 has to be nuts

[ivory creek]

it looks pretty sharp ye

i could probably maintain 120fps but im a sucker for high graphics. i have my stuff on a mixture of mid and ultra

[coarse bramble]

real shit, i got ghost of tsushima recently and im so happy they put actual effort into the game

ik its small but like whne the grass and trees look like actual grass and trees, just makes everything else look good asf

nixxes did a really good port

[coarse bramble]

real, the one thing i can say was dumb was removing the game from 180+ countries

but at least the game is good!

[ivory creek]

ye , u need ps network

that sucks

[coarse bramble]

its goofy ngk

*ngl

bc u only need it for the multiplayer

32GB possible then?

[molten flame]

yes

512-bit with 2GB modules = 32GB

[ivory creek]

i srsly sometimes get to my 24gb limit in some rust servers

so it could be needed

[molten flame]

that's because Rust isn't optimized correctly

[ivory creek]

they also have 300 players with custom content

[molten flame]

no game should be near 24GB limit even at 8K

5090 having GDDR7 and 30% higher memory bus means possible double memory bandwidth over 4090

[ivory creek]

very nice

i remember when i bought gtx 1070 and it had 8gb as if that was more than enough

[brave sundial]

if they do more stuff like removing top level statements and shortening switch cases, then more of the younger generation would genuinely use C#

Maybe even removing the semi-colon requirement that will probably never happen though

[pale quartz]

probably not

Xbox and Playstation now using FSR 3

[pale quartz]

isnt a new thing

[molten flame]

FSR 3 + frame gen was announced for consoles few months back but this is first game implementation

[prime jasper]

hey has any1 found a fix for fullscreen never working since anti cheat updat

[ivory creek]

i removed a screw from my unused gtx 1070s backplate to see it would fit my m2 ssd and forgot to put it back. can the card still be used without any danger?

[molten flame]

Toothpaste not too bad

[pale quartz]

no, you'll need the screw in as this balances out thermal paste which is cooling the core on the card itself, do not leave it out too long or you will create unequal pressure

[pale quartz]

this is 15m which is almost nothing in terms of thermal cooling, give it an hour or so and the tooth paste will lose its thermal properties

[molten flame]

Imagine the ranch sauce spoiling

[ivory creek]

i mean the most outer screws on the backplate that there are a ton of, not the once connected directly around the coolers mounting

but alright

[lofty light]

I wouldn’t think there’s an issue there, likely it’s a visual backplate without much if any thermal help

[ivory creek]

ye thats what i was thinking aswell

i might give the card away since i dont use it anymore, but i dont want to give someone an unstable card tho

[brave sundial]

https://www.pcgamesn.com/msi/kingston-desktop-camm2-motherboard

I forgot camm2 could be used for PC motherboards too

Always associated it with laptops

But this is cool, wonder when it will get affordable

Or when we can add rgb to it

[pale quartz]

affordable probably not soon, but the specification for CAMM was inevitable for consumer platforms

[quick locust]

64GB HBM3 on every cpu when

[molten flame]

need Strix Halo with HBM3

[ivory creek]

i just noticed that the lastest nvidia drivers bring an update to the version of hd audio and physx aswell

dont remember when that happened the last time before that

wonder if it makes any difference

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reportedly-set-to-launch-next-gen-ryzen-for-mini-pcs-in-august

Zen 5 mobile may launch in Mini-PCs before laptops

[pale quartz]

no it doesn't, because physx isn't used anywhere anymore, they're just bug fixes

[brave sundial]

[dapper reef]

hey 🙂 My shadowplay is not working on battlefield 2042. When I start Shadowplay my game starts lagging and stop working.

I have all the new drivers

[pale quartz]

shadowplay is a buggy piece of software, use obs

[dapper reef]

my pc is good - so must be a thing with battlefield. Any tipps? 🙂

but it was working

Shadowplay is working for every game - only not for battlefield

[pale quartz]

was doesn't mean it's stable, shadowplay hasn't been updated for nearly a year at this point, if you want things to operate, you need to use stable software

it's neglected by Nvidia and has been for eons

[dapper reef]

yeah maybe

but do you have a solution for my problem?

[pale quartz]

no, and no one here will, your issue isnt specific to this game, it occurs in others aswell

is a issue with shadowplay

[dapper reef]

when it only happens on bf and not on other games - must be bf not shadowplay

[pale quartz]

no it happens, on other games, you've just not seen it that's all

[dapper reef]

someone else?

[pale quartz]

someone else such as me, and the tens of thousands of others who report shadowplay not working with different games, there are millions of people who have Nvidia cards

as I said before shadowplay is a neglected piece of software so issues will occur, switch to OBS or something else, that's your best point of call

[dapper reef]

You can't help me I see.

Thats why I asked someone else

[pale quartz]

yes

[dapper reef]

someone else?

Doesn't Xbox game bar have that functionality too

[pale quartz]

yes it does

[candid flame]

and it works every time

[turbid verge]

Been using the 24 lts and its much better than the previous lts in general

Performance wise pretty good. Still has a bug or twice but wont bother with your daily use

[quick locust]

Nice to hear

My laptop runs on a variant of Ubuntu, need to update it

[turbid verge]

recently asked to update to the 24.04 lts at my work. Because we can do some experiments on it

so far pretty solid

got bashtop running in the back and looks like the performance to be more stable than the 22 LTS

[burnt coyote]

i use linux mint its not to bad i havent used ubuntu and aegis was a solid os when i used it though

[quick locust]

My workplace is all XP and windows 7

[brave sundial]

it is not relevant at all but I must mention I use arch

[frigid condor]

I use win11 cause I'm too lazy to switch to linux

[dry pike]

I tried switching to Linux but I spent all my time tweaking the OS and trying to install things and not any time actually doing stuff

[brave sundial]

I mean isn't that the point, you have all that freedom now

[vernal pendant]

you've had to do that for windows since win10 may as well commit

[ivory creek]

when i calibrate hdr in w11 should i pick what rtings call peak brightness or sustained peakbrightness. sustained is 100 nits lower than regular. i cant follow the boxes that are being displayed cuz they suggest that i can go well beyond 2000 nits which isnt the case according to rtings

[olive solstice]

Not sure if this is the correct chat, but does anyone else have the problem where they randomly can't connect to the game servers for no reason? I get the code 1.86001s:66003S.-10571258760.0B every time.

[toxic wigeon]

Yo my mouse and keyboard are randomly cutting out during games.

And now in desktop.

What should I look at to fixing it?

[quick locust]

wired or wireless?

[toxic wigeon]

Wired or wireless it really doesn't matter.

[naive shuttle]

If there are multiple wired and they are cutting out then it is probably an internal issue with the computer or laptop

[quick locust]

Meant yours lol

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah that's what I answered?

The mouse is primarily wireless but when it's plugged in it still has issues.

[pale quartz]

what do you mean cutting out? as in ceasing function entirely?

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah I'll clip it.

I was literally testing this in Solo/co op and didn't hit a SINGLE hitch. The instant I play against players it starts to glitch out?

I'm having zero issues on ultrakill.

[pale quartz]

look under event viewer, its possible the I/O is being overloaded

[toxic wigeon]

I dunno what I'm supposed to specifically be looking at.

[pale quartz]

what you can do is isolate the problem, take out all the usb plugged in devices except the mouse and see if it still happens

if it does then its outwith the USB hub itself

[toxic wigeon]

Oh nah it also happened with my keyboard and controller.

During COD if my mouse was plugged in it would stop reading me moving forward.

[pale quartz]

event viewer under administrative events are there reported errors

[toxic wigeon]

I plugged in the roller and it would automatically un aim me ranging from a second after or a few seconds.

[toxic wigeon]

It mentions issues with Kernal-power.

[pale quartz]

no, the actual errors

[toxic wigeon]

This what you want?

[pale quartz]

your screeshots are too small, they dont mean anything

show the full one for that window

[pale quartz]

you have repeating error ids of 131 which is a driver initialisation failure

look under device manager for a warning

[toxic wigeon]

There's nothing anything particularly abnormal there.

No warnings and such.

But it's blanking in and out.

Not a whole lot but still.

The weird part about this.

I play Ultrakill and there are zero problems.

[pale quartz]

the game itself doesnt matter, its telling you whats going on

[toxic wigeon]

True but I don't get input issues on a game like that.

[pale quartz]

a driver is failing to install, presumably related to some external software in affiliation with the device, which is why its repeatedly cutting out, a game is irrelevant

read your own logs, you will see its reported every few seconds, this is your problem

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah I'm aware.

There are constant errors up the ass but it makes no sense for the isuse to prop up when I play something like battlefield or cod but not ultrakill.

[pale quartz]

sure there is, you just dont know the reason

but its arbitrary, youre looking for the wrong source of origins

[toxic wigeon]

So what, Reinstall the drivers and shit?

[pale quartz]

i dont know, dont have the time rn to delve into whats going on, but thats whats causing it

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah i'll see what I can do.

[pale quartz]

ill see whats going on in a few hours if ive got time but not here, ill need to check your system logs

will dm later

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah I have zero idea.

I reinstalled the drivers and I'm still getting 131's.

[candid flame]

lossless scaling guys releasing 3x frame gen

latency is going to be wild

[brave sundial]

doesn't matter when I get 400fps

[candid flame]

[toxic wigeon]

So I think I have an idea on the issue.

But I'm not sure.

How am I supposed to identify problematic drivers?

[frigid condor]

This'll be so good for demanding single player games though. I hate playing anything below 70 fps

[candid flame]

latency will be so bad tho and it wouldn't be smooth either if you are playing with sub-60fps

I wonder how they will tackle this

will be interesting to see

[toxic wigeon]

"Yay it's fixed after doing a scan and checking shit out :D"

Starts again.

[candid flame]

[toxic wigeon]

Fuck PC issues.

[ivory creek]

i just reinstall windows if i get too much errors

lol

[toxic wigeon]

A million fucking things can go wrong with them.

[ivory creek]

mm

[toxic wigeon]

And only a very small portion actually knows what's up.

[ivory creek]

there are some forums and stuff with alot of tech people

idk bout this place tho
