2 slots only supposedly

Maybe that's how they achieved it

[molten flame]

disabling a lot of the chip for segmentation

we're going to see a 5090, 5090 Super, 5090 Ti and 5090 Ti Super

5090 can have up to 192 SMs but it may not even have more than the 4090 because of how much of the chip is disabled

guys I am playing BF5 rn and the cutscenes are very choppy anyone knows how to fix it ?

I havve a 5900x and 4070 super

[fading fossil]

i think so

what OS do u have? microsoft or MAC?

And if its microsoft what version

[pale quartz]

you cannot play it on Mac, EA anticheat supports windows only

it's possibly a full screen issue, make sure it's on borderless

[glad lotus]

Microsoft Windows 11

[willow schooner]

Are BFV cutscenes 3D rendering, or pre-rendered. If you replay the same cutscene again, is it still choppy?

[glad lotus]

you can replay cutscenes?

[willow schooner]

I mean if you do the level again

[glad lotus]

nvm dlss solved the problem idk how

[willow schooner]

Did it, or did you replay a part of the game youve already played and now you have the shaders compiled for it?

[frigid condor]

Just wait for the price to drop. Or wait for the 9600x, I've heard rumours that that one's gonna be amazing and cost about as much as it's predecessor, the 7600x

[molten flame]

not as fast as 7800X3D

which is just $40-50 more than 9600X will be

and 2 more cores

[candid flame]

I've ordered the 7800x3d

[molten flame]

7800X3D is unbeatable in value

thinking about cancelling because it may drop in price?

[molten flame]

not even 9000 series can compete with 7800X3D in value

[midnight crypt]

surely this wont cause any issues at all

[vernal pendant]

"it's not just drawing 120 at the top of the screen for a placebo effect" it is tho, interpolating frames isn't giving you better frametimes or reducing latency

at most it's an anti-motion sickness measure

[candid flame]

not a placebo as in not giving you a jpeg saying 120fps on the corner of the screen

[dry pike]

At the very least, a lot of gaming sites are going to loose a lot of revenue

[karmic leaf]

Did anyone already had to deal with Chrome's awfully bloated (on laptop screens) new UI? You used to be able to turn it off with "Refresh 2023" chrome flags but it got removed.

The only option I see is downgrading and blocking updates (which I might not be able to do), switch browsers, or suck it up. Everything, including tab etiquettes to the right-click context menu has an insane level of padding.

I literally have to SCROLL THROUGH the right-click menu on web pages, it's ridiculous. Thanks

oh yeah they are

all those korean super tanks

[storm osprey]

huh, interesting

just googled it and surprised a lot of countries are behind usa

*first world countries

[brave sundial]

firefox has css themes that mimic chrome's interface

you could try that I guess, if you really like Chrome's UI

Because manifest V3 is going to be in effect soon, will seriously nerf the capabilities of quite a few useful extensions

[brave sundial]

Feel like waiting until then to get another drive

But I do kind of need it now though, shouldn't punish myself and wait a whole another month

£102 is already pretty good for 2TB gen4 I guess

[storm osprey]

i cant imagine drives getting THAT much cheaper

but at the same time expect something like the 7800x3d to only be 50 bucks off

[brave sundial]

If only I needed it a month ago, it was for £75

idk how it was that low randomly in May

[edgy lynx]

do y'all think there'll be any visible bottleneck with a 9900x(x3d) and an rx 7800 xt at 1080p, maybe 1440p

of course all games maxed out native res'es

[willow schooner]

Should be fine, though that GPU is pretty similar in perf to the 6800XT at 1080p/1440p. You could try to find one of those for cheap

[pale quartz]

without a doubt yes, a 7800xt is definitely going to be limited with a potential zen 5 processor

that kind of processor mandates a 4080 or higher, different league of territory

[edgy lynx]

oh, you're right I completely forgot, thank you

[pale quartz]

np

[molten flame]

I’ll just wait for 9800XT3D

[brave sundial]

Why are they adding XT to their cpus now

[toxic wigeon]

Money.

But they're just extra clocked CPUs.

The 5900xt has 16 cores I believe?

Which is unique.

[molten flame]

Zen 5 only got 3 minutes of total showtime at CES lol

Must not actually be good

7800X3D mops the floor with it

16% IPC uplift claim but only 10% faster in Far Cry 6 is not a good sign

[quick locust]

They also did with zen 2, like 3600XT

[quick locust]

Same with arrow lake

Most of the coverage was lunar lake and partners

[karmic leaf]

Yeah I've read about that too, dear god... thank you for the Firefox tip, I guess that's the immediate competitor I should check out vs Chrome; I was told about "Vivaldi" too (as a Chromium-based browser).

[pale quartz]

no lol

Firefox uses manifest version 3 too, it was never a chrome exclusive

[karmic leaf]

well my pickle was with the new bloated Chrome UI, moreso than the manifest; everything is super-padded now on Chrome!

Though they promised they won't deprecate MV2, Chrome is fully replacing it

[turbid verge]

wow it looks like they want to actually compete in the GPU market

[candid flame]

it's exciting

[turbid verge]

pretty neat stuff

[brave sundial]

It's almost as if there's competition, companies will actually try their best to deliver the best for your money in the market

[turbid verge]

there's always a part of the market to compete at

even if its not at high standard one

it just really depends on who you are targetting as potencial customer

[brave sundial]

Intel do need do their best now too, to actually gain a foothold in the market

[turbid verge]

thing is, its not cheap nor easy to just make, produce and design a chip from the ground

and just straight up be perfect or good

[candid flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvFc_24vSM

[turbid verge]

Intel seems like they still need time to prove themselfs, but they're on the right track

[brave sundial]

Yeah, they did pretty solid for the first gen I'd say.

Rapid driver updates to maximise performance out of existing cards in games

[brave sundial]

Someone made a clone of the whole thing as an app on iOS lmao

[candid flame]

it's just chatgpt

[brave sundial]

Yeah I know, but it has the extra features that they claim proved why it couldn't just be an app

[candid flame]

with instructions forbidding it from telling the users it's chatgpt

it's pretty funny

[pale quartz]

nope Firefox just means (for now) since they were 2 years late to adopting MV3 in the first place, they will deprecate MV2, just in a delayed fashion

just as Firefox is late to everything

[pale quartz]

it is, for them, intel use IFS, their own foundries

MV2 has to be replaced since half the APIs extensions are using have massive gaping holes for security, it's not an option

[turbid verge]

bet those multi millions in R&D need to have a return

[pale quartz]

IFS total capital cost is around $10b, millions is like for specific components

[brave sundial]

They said they'll still support webrequest, basically implementing the best parts of MV3 and not the part people don't like, while still offering options for people

[pale quartz]

webrequest is just declarativenetrequest, MV2 however will go away regardless, is just a different form of specification implementation

Firefox are only doing it because they didn't adopt the original standard to begin with like every other thing they're a few years late on

[brave sundial]

I wish they had a dark mode flag like chrome does in its experiments page, much quicker than using an extension.

[pale quartz]

chrome has it embedded in the settings now, has for a while

[brave sundial]

Oh no I mean the 'darken-all-website' flag

Or whatever it's called

[pale quartz]

oh you mean the inversion one

yeah fair enough

[brave sundial]

Yeah it has a selective option that worked pretty well last time I used it.

Firefox used to have quite a few features years ago but then they removed them citing that not many people used them

Like the mobile app supporting quite a few desktop extensions as well

I do use a fork of the mobile browser now that brings back the functionality, as well as suspending tabs to avoid them being killing to free memory - another feature they removed from the mobile browser

[pale quartz]

firefox exists purely due to google so, there you go on why

[brave sundial]

Yeah, paying them to be the default option for search engine

[quick locust]

[molten flame]

I think it’s weird they didn’t show many details when it launches in just a month

[midnight crypt]

[toxic wigeon]

I'm seriously thinking about just getting a mid gen mobo with the 7800x3d.

[pale quartz]

because it's not the x3d parts

they always do cross comparisons with each not vice versa, just wait till that

[ivory creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZGI4L-0jLE

stockholders are literally trying to bribe Nvidia to stop making gaming GPUs because they don't make near as much money as AI GPUs

[pale quartz]

as a shareholder yes this is what i want them to do

[toxic wigeon]

It's super alienating when the company that you've known for years for gaming goes into this.

Like oh gaming takes the back seat like oh right. :|

[molten flame]

It makes sense that they would prioritize making hardware for robots and AI used in warehouses and industries

Gaming is their least valuable market for the past few years now and it’s costing them billions in shares to keep making GeForce GPUs

[brave sundial]

Time to put all my copium towards Intel maybe standing a chance in like 5 years

But they'll likely just stop making new generations every 2 years, we could probably be waiting double the amount perhaps between gens

[molten flame]

intel seems to be on track to keep their usual annual launches for the next 3 years at least

[turbid verge]

Well, since its a trend. Iam not surprised

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah I'm not surprised one bit either.

[turbid verge]

Now a days anything that says AI and idk Intelligent I guess it sells

Nvidia for this case just was on the right place at the right time

because they've been selling GPU for machine learning and AI research and development for years

since the whole chat GPT trend and AI booming out of nowhere the need for hardware has its big demand

[edgy lynx]

can I pair the rx 7800 xt with the 7800x3d? with no visible bottleneck on 1080p max settings on fh5, gta 5, red dead 2, flight sim 2020 and hogwarts legacy

[candid flame]

yes

[edgy lynx]

awesome, thank you so much

[pale quartz]

you can pair it, there's no such thing as not having a bottleneck, you will have it either way at 1080p

[toxic wigeon]

Thing is I don't exactly mind them doing it for business sake but it just feels likew this whole shove it down our throats deal.

[edgy lynx]

I meant any visible one, no stuttering, freezing, lagging, fps dropping, tankin, stuff like that

[pale quartz]

you're going to have that either way, some games are just worse than others, hogleg etc

[edgy lynx]

Well, alright

At least I hope it won't be (that) bad, cause this shit is expensive AFFF

[molten flame]

7800XT is a mid-range 1440p GPU, should be excellent at 1080p ultra settings

[terse glade]

A 7800x3d won't bottleneck for years dw

[molten flame]

7800X3D won’t bottleneck at 1080p unless you got like a 4080 or better

7900XTX wouldn’t get bottlenecks at 1080p iirc

Nvidia GPUs suffer more from CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions

[rich thistle]

Can anyone help with resolving stutters?

I have a 4070 and R5 5600 paired with 2X16 & NVMEs. I plat at 1440p.

[coarse bramble]

I had the same issue I used to have a 4070 paired w a 5600x and at 1440 and I switched to a 7900x bc I getting bottlenecked like a mf

[edgy lynx]

Alright, thank y'all so much

[candid flame]

damn, no added latency compared to 2x interpolation

[rich thistle]

Did you see a noticeable difference

[pale quartz]

the claim is slightly misleading

he is talking about specifically compared to a 2 frame buffer, that is by adding an additional in the interpolation buffer there is no measured difference relative to 2, as a baseline from the framerate increase, which there will never be because it's scales anyways, the problem with (this post) is interpolation of frame insertion will always add a baseline latency difference compared to running that framerate at native which is there, it's essentially a frame smoother rather than a frame booster

it is deceptive for the author to claim "additional latency" because it's not taking about native, just measuring compared to the number of frame buffers, there will still be latency regardless for this

[candid flame]

I think that's what he meant, no? As interpolation will always add lag, just that 3x wouldn't be laggier than 2x

[coarse bramble]

absolutely

i can run mw3 at a stable 200fps on all max

[pale quartz]

what he meant is (tripling the framerate at no latency penalty), which is the deceptive part

[candid flame]

Ah

Right

[pale quartz]

interpolation has latency inherently, which is the issue primarily

cool technology, still has the problems inherit with generation like screen tearing if vsync isn't used, so how useful it is, is going to be deterministic per game

[ivory creek]

im using the built in overclocker in the latest version of nvidia app which is supposed to scan for the best possible overclock for my card. wonder if it will work out

But right now I don't get people getting scared, it doesn't affect them at all unless they really wanted to get an arm laptop

[pale quartz]

dont expect a "open source" copilot anytime soon lol

these types of features need millions in investment to come to fruition

[brave sundial]

True

That is what the stability AI founder and (now former) head was talking about a few weeks ago

they have a $10b deal with openai, no company can compete with that

https://siliconangle.com/2024/06/07/microsoft-makes-windows-recall-feature-opt-following-cybersecurity-concerns/ @pale quartz some good news previously it was on by default

Here are the changes Microsoft is making to Windows Recall:

First, we are updating the set-up experience of Copilot+ PCs to give people a clearer choice to opt-in to saving snapshots using Recall. If you don’t proactively choose to turn it on, it will be off by default.
Second, Windows Hello enrollment is required to enable Recall. In addition, proof of presence is also required to view your timeline and search in Recall.
Third, we are adding additional layers of data protection including “just in time” decryption protected by Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) so Recall snapshots will only be decrypted and accessible when the user authenticates. In addition, we encrypted the search index database.

[trail swan]

Hello do i get 120 fps on ps5 for BF1?

And is there a version of BF1 for ps5 or just the ps4 one?

[pale quartz]

no

PS4 only, there is no ps5 version

[trail swan]

I saw TheBrokenMachine( youtuber ) saying that you get 120fps. But he was on Xbox series X . Could that be a thing? Just xbox having 120fps option?

And bf 2042 has 120fps ? I want to buy it and i would like to know before..

[pale quartz]

Xbox has backwards compatibility, the playstation does not, 2042 doesn't run at 120 it only runs at 60 on the consoles

if you want 120 you'll need to play on pc, they're just not powerful enough

[trail swan]

Ok… thanks…

[lost cargo]

You need a series X, 120hz monitor/tv to run 120 fps on the series X.

You go into the app settings from the Home Screen and select fps boost option.

[trail swan]

Yeah , i have ps5 , and monitor 240hz , i thought i can get 120fps on BF1/2042 too not just on xbox..

[lost cargo]

It also needs to be the series S|X version also of the game

[pale quartz]

yeah you can't, it's not supported on playstation

[lost cargo]

Oof PS5

[pale quartz]

2042 does not support 120 on the Xbox, it's only due to backwards compatibility, they are still both 60 on either (variable)

[lost cargo]

On the series s and x, you can run 120 fps for 2042. It just have to be the new gen version of the game.

[pale quartz]

no I mean the game will never hit it

it will float between 60 and 120, but the game isn't static as a 1% target for 120

the hardware just isn't there to support that level of rasterisation in the most demanding situations

[trail swan]

Anyway , i saw how good ia even on 60fps on Maxiq on youtube , and i honestly thought is 120.

And now for sale is a version that says PS5/PS4 for BF2042, is that the right one for ps5 or should i just get a ps5 version if i find?

[pale quartz]

they are both the same

[lost cargo]

It does, it lowers the res abit to hit 120 fps

For example 1440p. It lowers it to 1080p res

[pale quartz]

I'm assuming if you care about quality, if you factor in downscaling then yes it will

but it looks like ass in the process

[lost cargo]

That’s how FPS Boost feature works for Xbox series

It allows you to up to 120fps on 120hz

[pale quartz]

128 on the Xbox will downscale to 720p/900p sometimes and it turns into a pixelated mess, but can't help mediocre hardware I suppose

[toxic wigeon]

I think the 120 FPS mode only hits the series S.

[lost cargo]

That’s why people recommend using it on higher res monitors/tvs that supports 120hz

[toxic wigeon]

Wait my bad this is about 2042.

[lost cargo]

Both series S and X consoles

[pale quartz]

it is supported on both consoles, but downscaling isn't linear across both

[lost cargo]

That’s only if the game supports FPS boost feature on the Xbox.

[pale quartz]

the series s has much rougher ones

[toxic wigeon]

No what i was meaning to say there was that on 120 FPS mode on older titles like 5 and shit I know that the S is more affected than the X.

Ah yeah.

I know on bf5 I definitely felt the hit.

But

Silky smooth.

(Stones!)

[lost cargo]

2042 and destiny 2 for the fps boost felt amazingly smooth. I felt like I was playing on my pc ngl

60hz feels so choppy to me. It’s wild that I’m not used to 60hz/60fps on console/pc games anymore, unless I’m on the steam deck kek

That’s for PS5. It does the same thing like Xbox’s FPS boost feature

Degrade quality either by graphics, and/or res

For more performance aka fps to make it more smoother and hit 120 fps if running 120hz

[pale quartz]

the series s is going to need to be ditched by some games sooner or later for better graphics, hardware disparity just is a chasm between them

[lost cargo]

One day but people mainly buy the series S tho lol

[pale quartz]

they do and why Microsoft made a mistake launching the console to begin with

[lost cargo]

It’s crazy how much people go for the series S in general tbh

It’s a way to bring in players to next gen era, due to it being cheap and affordable.

[lost cargo]

Wym a mistake?

[pale quartz]

getting sales then and setting themselves up for a problem years down the line (now)

[lost cargo]

I see what you mean for devs and future games.

Although devs can make it series X exclusive. If the game is demanding enough not to run decently on series S.

[pale quartz]

they already have and/or made separate versions for the s

but it's going to get much worse

[lost cargo]

Devs can make it not release on series S. Is what I’m saying

Yet we have devs still make games for PS4/ OG Xbox one consoles. And they are on their last leg

[midnight crypt]

didnt MS say you have to make your game work for both S/X though

that hasnt changed afaik

[lost cargo]

MS said that?

Dam if so.

Even if they did allow devs to not make games for series S. That’s a lot of money they be losing out on ngl. Since most of next gen Xbox player base is series S.

[midnight crypt]

"All game titles targeting a console generation must support the entire family of devices for that generation."

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/policies/console/certification-requirements

[lost cargo]

I mean 😪 most games handles very well on series S.

Not defending but let’s see how Microsoft does the next gen console era. If it’s gonna have a single version or 2 versions of it.

[brave sundial]

parity is enforced, yeah

But sometimes they do make exceptions, like Baldur's gate 3 didn't launch with co-op on series s

[lost cargo]

That is true^

[pale quartz]

until the game is popular enough then exceptions apply

[tawny mauve]

[burnt coyote]

imagine how gta 6 will be hit by this

i have a series s but if i have to get a x for gta 6 i will

[molten coral]

another game taking the L because of hardware restrictions

[coarse nimbus]

consoles ruining it again for us

[molten coral]

[brave sundial]

blame Nvidia for making expensive GPUs

[hot moth]

Hey guys! I have a problem with launching BFV. Everytime i boot the game, it just closes and reopens the EA app. WHat to do?

[thin lintel]

Load it from steam

[hot moth]

thats what im doing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[naive shuttle]

Im not an expert but I'm pretty sure that there is something in your files that tell you errors and stuff

I would try that

[tame sundial]

Yeah tbh if you looked at first game when it revealed it amazes you with how insane it looked but the new kcd2 doesn't have that, don't get me wrong it looks great but that wow with first game visuals are missing and funny thing first game got downgraded a bit

[digital hill]

https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/hp-bricks-probook-laptops-with-bad-bios-many-users-face-black-screen-after-windows-includes-firmware-in-automatic-updates

[storm osprey]

maybe ill finally upgrade my cpu

(even though i dont game anymore)

[molten flame]

new heater for orang cato

[storm osprey]

not unless these run cool

i currently have a 10700k too, so anything is cooler

(except 12th gen, fuck 12th gen)

[molten flame]

9700X and 9900X both have lower TDP than 7700X and 7900X

[storm osprey]

interesting

im confused

why are they releasing the 9700x before the 9800x? dont they normally do the x800x first?

apparently not...

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah 800 is now reserved for x3d.

[storm osprey]

ok so im not losing it

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly the x800x3ds will always be worth a grab since they'll be on a single CCD.

Unless you really need those cores. The 800's are the best you can get.

[rapid marsh]

What iems yall use for battleifeld 2042?

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/geforce-rtx-50-blackwell-gb20x-gpu-specs-have-been-leaked

GB203 is weak

GB202 is the only big upgrade

[brave sundial]

so the 5080 will be barely much of an upgrade

[molten flame]

unless they change 5080 into a (very) cut-down version of GB202, it's a small increment upgrade over 4080 Super

5090 is already cut-down a lot on GB202

doesn't even have full memory bus

if 5090 is 448-bit memory then 5080 would need to be upgraded as well to at least 320-bit

5090 on 512-bit is not happening because of market dominance and yields

Based on specs from leaks, the 5090 could easily be over 2x faster than the 5080 in rasterization or raw gaming

[brave sundial]

could they have kept the 5080 like this because of sanctions

Can't sell anything more powerful than the chinese 4090 to them

inadvertently leading to a gimped 5080

[turbid verge]

thought the article had some decent benchmarks to see the performance and its full of pointless shit no one cares about

not even transistor number or TDP

[turbid verge]

if you're someone who upgrades every year for whatever reason yes. For those who upgrade every 3-4 years its a very good GPU

[brave sundial]

But what's the point when the 4080S exists just fine

[molten flame]

4090 stays relevant for a long time

It’s the new 1080ti

[digital hill]

3090 you mean

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-confirms-ryzen-7000x3d-will-remain-top-gaming-performer-ahead-of-9000-series-launch

[ivory creek]

yeah i read some rumors some days ago that the 9000x3d cpus might release in september

[turbid verge]

sell the old units first

keep prices high with maybe some AI shit on the 5000 series

make only the top tier relevant for a while

then releave all the Ti's and shit what not

if you have an excuse to have the previous gen at lower price and quick sell for a small profit with the new ones thats how you do it

its what they do with anything in the hardware market tbh lol

[mystic flax]

I'm getting my next paycheck tomorrow so I'm including the Amd CPU the Ryzen 7800x3d but the motherboard I'm divided on
I'm looking at a x670 aorus elite AX and the B650 Asus ROG strife
So currently they cost the same
Both are on sale with the x670 being 23 percent off and the b650 being 15 percent off
The b650 is white which matches the PC case but the x670 is supposedly better in performance but in black
And again both are currently the same price

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly the x670's is worth a go for since it's the same price as the b650. In the saying of that. X670's usually come with higher quality ports. As in they can support higher speed ssds and come with more upgraded usb ports.

*As far as I understand them.

I would avoid ASUS motherboards purely out just incase by the way.

[quick locust]

Arm prototype laptop by Tuxedo

Has Snapdragon X Elite X1E80100

[mystic flax]

got it.

[toxic wigeon]

An old bios bug would over volt and overheat CPUs to the point where they would implode.

[mystic flax]

Yeah so I'm ordering the 7800x3d CPU and the x670 aorus elite later today when my paycheck is revived

Because both are having noticeable sales bringing the cost total from 738 to 561

This should put me around almost 1k spent as that PC case was 380

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/sk-hynix-confirms-gddr7-memory-mass-production-starts-in-q1-2025

[digital hill]

Damn, that cooling is a lot for an arm porcessor

[mystic flax]

This is what im getting for my next paycheck. Which has the monitor, GPU, and storage the only things left,

[toxic wigeon]

That's good ram!

What gpu are you looking at? @mystic flax

[brave sundial]

What case are you getting

[mystic flax]

The 4090

[mystic flax]

The hyte y70 touch infinite which I preorded couple weeks ago

Should come july

[brave sundial]

going all out for the case

[mystic flax]

Rog strife 4090 is the GPU I'm getting

[brave sundial]

The white one I presume?

[pale quartz]

you cant run that memory, fclk on zen 4 maxes at 6000 for guaranteed stability, youll need to downclock it or get a different kit

[mystic flax]

Oh really

[pale quartz]

yes

[mystic flax]

So this should work instead

[pale quartz]

yes itll be fine

the memory doesnt matter since you have the 7800x3d essentially anyways

[brave sundial]

Wouldn't the system do it itself?

[pale quartz]

no

xmp doesnt downclock itself

[brave sundial]

oh

[mystic flax]

Ye

[brave sundial]

That's going to look clean then

[toxic wigeon]

I saw the power supply and thought "are they going all out?"

[mystic flax]

Sadly the only thing that I couldn't find to be white was the x670 aorus elite

[toxic wigeon]

Who knows to be honest. You may end up liking white and black.

[mystic flax]

Especially one that was on sale

[toxic wigeon]

Not that I'm telling you what to like.

But you know.

[mystic flax]

The power supply being big is more on so I don't have to worry about it later on

[brave sundial]

just futureproofing for future Nvidia cards obviously

When 2000W will become the minimum

[mystic flax]

With the 5000 series around the corner

Also this bad boy is on mega sale

I'm getting the 2tb version

[toxic wigeon]

Jesus fuck.

[brave sundial]

I don't think I've ever seen a white nvme before

[mystic flax]

The 2TB version is 300

[toxic wigeon]

Depending on the power draw I may not need to upgrade my power supply.

[mystic flax]

Not even on sale

[toxic wigeon]

I would use that as a secondary drive to be honest.

[brave sundial]

Wait, gen5

no wonder

[toxic wigeon]

Get like a 500 gig boot drive and put everything in there.

Yeah I saw 12 GBS write speed like

Holy shit.

[mystic flax]

I am having a Hard drive for files and shit

[pale quartz]

never do this*

[mystic flax]

This is the GPU I'm getting

[pale quartz]

thats pretty expensive for a 4090

500 over msrp

[toxic wigeon]

No 500 gig boot drive? To he fair I wouldn't do the same either but lots of space in secondary.

[mystic flax]

One of the many versions of it. Trying to find a white one but honestly I could just go for a regular 4090

Save money for the monitor

[pale quartz]

drive endurancy is written by TBW, a 500gb drive will last 4x less in lifetime than a 2tb one, never a good idea

[brave sundial]

I don't think I've ever seen a white one around msrp

[pale quartz]

yeah you wont mostly

[brave sundial]

So for a white one, not bad

[pale quartz]

custom spray

[mystic flax]

Not even the most expensive btw

[pale quartz]

consider second hand before buying at least

someone may be selling the model there

[mystic flax]

Yeah it will be a month or two until I get the chance

I need to have everything before I get the gpu

I could just buy the Rog GPU straight from the Nvidia store. Save a couple bucks and time

[pale quartz]

theyre generally easier for dealing with warranties if it comes to it aswell direct through the store

[mystic flax]

Will I be buying cables or will some of the items provide with the cables

[storm osprey]

a white build isnt completel without white cables

[toxic wigeon]

Rgb cable.

[pale quartz]

your psu will have the cables bundled with it, do not use third party ones

[storm osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/lupinranger-keiichiro-sneer-nose-sneer-confused-gif-25287843

[pale quartz]

it is not safe to do so

[mystic flax]

Gotcha

[storm osprey]

doesnt cable mod actually do the right pin outs?

[pale quartz]

pins for cables are different per manufacturer to each other, the 12vph connector cable will have custom moldings for that specific sku

[storm osprey]

yes, thats is exactly what im talking about with pin outs and cable mod

[pale quartz]

there is no right pin, is what im saying

they are all custom to one another

[pale quartz]

the gamemax rampage psu will use different circuitry to another, etc

lol dont trust cablemod

they literally just done a safety recall of their 12vph connectors because it was burning gpus

[storm osprey]

if i didnt buy products that had a recall id live on the floor

[pale quartz]

https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/cablemod-adapter-recall

[storm osprey]

dirt floor to be specific

[toxic wigeon]

Thanks observer you've made me think more about how i want to do my next pc kek.

[storm osprey]

what monitor were you looking at?

[mystic flax]

||JK way too expensive||

||2500||

[toxic wigeon]

LOL

Nah really what resolution are you looking for?

[mystic flax]

Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

With I think it was a 240 hz

Pricing is around 1,200

I'll be able to be at a safe spot on my savings around august in order to buy the gpu and the monitor

Safe spot as having around or more than 3k in my account.

[vocal blaze]

i have a 3070ti with a ryzen 7 5700g. Would yall suggest upgrading cpu or just wait til am5 sockets and ddr5 are necessary?

[mystic flax]

The Amd 7800x3d is on sale on Amazon

24% off

[toxic wigeon]

There's either this. You get the 7800x3d now which is on sale or you can wait until the end of the year when 9000x3d will be releasing.

Which by the way.

[vocal blaze]

but thats an am5 socket. im on a rog b550-f

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah you will need to get a new mobo

[storm osprey]

depends what you play, whats your display, and what you want

[toxic wigeon]

I would say hey 5800x3d sure but kinda. If you want shit to last a 7800x3d will be very good.

[vocal blaze]

ultragear 1440, 160

[mystic flax]

Will I be able to upgrade the Amd CPU with the x670 elite

[vocal blaze]

what MB yall recommned. im playing 1440 games such as BF2042, WZ, Fortnite

[toxic wigeon]

Am5 will be used for a bit yeah.

Oops ping on.

[mystic flax]

It's fine. I honestly keep forgetting that there was a ping off option

[toxic wigeon]

@pale quartz computer mang do you know if Zen 6 will be on am5?

[mystic flax]

I just hope the new cpus are actually better than the 7800x3d

[pale quartz]

yes, from what I'm hearing

[storm osprey]

is your performance not up to what you want?

[toxic wigeon]

There ya go. While you need to grain it with a grain of salt it's safe to assume that.

[toxic wigeon]

My 5800x3d in gaming is better than regular as 7000 series in cpu heavy games.

It only loses to your x3d.

[mystic flax]

Holy shit I think my current monitor is 1080p

[toxic wigeon]

Essentially.

[pale quartz]

no the 5800x3d loses to the 7600x in most situations

it only wins in cache bound situations

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah I pretty much attempted to imply that.

[lofty light]

Time to invest in a 3440x1440 ultrawide

[mystic flax]

What I'm making is equivalent to moving from a mark 1 tank to a tiger tank

[mystic flax]

Thinking about live streaming the building process in a VC maybe here or in 2043 discord server

[toxic wigeon]

That sounds fun.

[lofty light]

Who was that guy who a year or two ago talked about their building here and spent weeks doing it and freaking out about it the whole time

It was stressful just reading their posts

[lofty light]

Remember to follow the official guide https://youtu.be/2lmfF0k2UcU?si=X8Rp81RG11LXipNp

[mystic flax]

Got it

[naive shuttle]

[molten flame]

14700K or 7800X3D

[mystic flax]

7800x3d

It's currently cheaper right now on Amazon

[molten flame]

Something tells me to get Intel because of reliability

[mystic flax]

You won't be able to upgrade it to a new cpu unless you upgrade the motherboard

I think the Intel cpus are on its last set

[molten flame]

I might need to focus more on finding a quality motherboard than worrying about CPU tbh

need the best audio codec

current Gigabyte X570SI motherboard has audio stutter (so did my previous Gigabyte AB350) and it makes it annoying to listen to music but isn't as noticeable in games

AMD platform has more bugs than Intel, something many people don't consider

[tawny mauve]

That one is curved unlike the 27 1440p

[tawny mauve]

You're sure you want a curved monitor? @mystic flax

[mystic flax]

I have a curved monitor

The one I have is a 34

1080p

Or 1440p

[mystic flax]

Just got notification that my motherboard has been shipped and my CPU delivery has been delayed

[coarse nimbus]

is it better to get a motherboard with no cpu...or the other way around

[mystic flax]

I believe having both separate is a better choice

[ivory creek]

i try to buy my stuff on local shops so i dont have to deal with delivery and stuff, becomes so messy if something is up with any of the products and you have to send them back

[coarse nimbus]

tfw 2 hrs away from nearest MC, which makes it questionable if worth it

[ivory creek]

ah true i live in a city with stores just minutes away from me

might be another thing if u live far away

[coarse nimbus]

[storm osprey]

ironically the only time ive had anything defecting was when i bought local xD

[ivory creek]

haha

[storm osprey]

im probably the reason my local fry electronics went out of business

[ivory creek]

oh was it an entire shipment of defect products?

[storm osprey]

no, i abused their 30 day return policy

[ivory creek]

oh

[storm osprey]

probably tried at least 5 mice in a few months once

tbf i actually really didnt like the mice i tried too

[ivory creek]

only time ive returned something that wasnt broken was a pair of headphones who were so tight that it cut off my blodflow so i got dizzy

otherwise i try to keep what i use

i put the headphones on and got a headache and dizzyness at once

lol

[storm osprey]

sounds like sennheiser clamp kind of tight

[ivory creek]

ye it was a sennheiser gaming headphone

i got sennheiser now aswell but theyre not at all that tight

[storm osprey]

pc37x?

[ivory creek]

ye i think so

now i have sennheiser hd560s tho

theyre amazing

only problem is the lack of a mic

[storm osprey]

my 58x and 6xx had too much of a clamp, i put them around a soccer ball for a few days

[storm osprey]

jelly

i almost grabbed them when they were 150 bucks

[mystic flax]

Speaking of headphones I need to buy ones that are made for gaming, I'm stuck with a small speaker

The speaker is good quality but it does shit in terms of location

[ivory creek]

rtings.com got alot of good reviews and comparisons

[storm osprey]

headphones/mic or headset? if headset wired or wireless?

[mystic flax]

Probably headset

Probably a black shark version

Gotta have that THX quality

Love THX

[ivory creek]

cool

i always check with rtings first then i go to some audio store to check if i like the product myself

[storm osprey]

wired or wireless

[mystic flax]

Wireless

[ivory creek]

openback or closedback?

lol

[mystic flax]

Razer black shark v2 pro wireless

[ivory creek]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razer/blackshark-v2-pro-wireless-2023

[mystic flax]

Not sure what channel mixing is

[storm osprey]

not a lot of open back headsets, let alone for wireless

[storm osprey]

you can go between more voice volume or more game volume

[mystic flax]

Ok

[ivory creek]

i wonder what the sennheiser HE-1 are like. people claim they start crying from the pure emotion the headphones bring. they cost 60k usd tho so i doubt anyone would let me try them

[oak dagger]

Hello guys
I m thinking about upgrading my cpu and motherboard
I have a rtx3080oc
And a i5 10600kf
Motherboard and ram shouldent be a concern i want to buy someting good and 32 gb of ram ddr5
Any recommendations?
I m doing 3D as well and need someting powerful but not crazy expensive. For cpu maybe 350 euros max

Mainly for bf 5

[toxic wigeon]

7600 I would recommend. You'll need a new motherboard and that but that goes with it.

Amd 7600.

[oak dagger]

I checked out that as well

[toxic wigeon]

7700 is really good if you need cores.

[oak dagger]

Is there a big difference between 7600 and 7600x ?

[toxic wigeon]

Erm the x is clocked in a specific way.

I would say go for the X as you won't have to worry much about it.

[oak dagger]

Maybe this would be better

I m doing also 3D planing but rn the cpu can handle it so i think there shouldet be a problem with even the 7600x

And any intel cpu?

Or amd is overall better?

[toxic wigeon]

I'd say 13700.

I have a bias for amd because i think there's more longevity with them

[oak dagger]

When the next generation is coming out? Is there any news? Or is it good to buy it now?

[toxic wigeon]

You get your 7700x you can in the future give it a 11700x and all you'll need is a BIOS update.

Erm

It really depends.

Zen 5 is on the horizon

Zen 4 is still super good.

[oak dagger]

I need to upgrade mainly for gaming but i can wait if it is for the better

[toxic wigeon]

It'll be better yeah.

Though my concern is that it may not be within your budget.

You want cores, right?

[oak dagger]

Okey i will wait and play as little as possible on 128

[oak dagger]

For 3D would be great

But rn what i have i can do it as well but it is slower

Mainly i need stronger cpu for balancing out the gpu

[toxic wigeon]

I'd say wait for the 9700x if that's the case.

[oak dagger]

👍👍👍

[toxic wigeon]

I would easily say wait for the 9800x3d but its not within your budget.

7800x3d will still be a super great CPU.

[oak dagger]

🥲😅

Hope so

[toxic wigeon]

X3d is fucking great.

[oak dagger]

Dont realy want to pay too much for the pc in all

Mainly becuase i had lots of expensive purchuses becuase of 3D

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah.

[oak dagger]

But thank you for the recommendations :DD

[toxic wigeon]

I understand.

Of course.

[oak dagger]

I will wait

Have a nice evening :DD

[toxic wigeon]

I will! Thank you.

https://videocardz.com/newz/qualcomm-details-adreno-x1-gpu-specs-performance-and-adreno-control-panel-revealed

Qualcomm is Intel's biggest threat

It would take at least a decade for Qualcomm to make something to compete with high-end x86 CPUs tho

Snapdragon X Elite gets a lot of hype but realistically, it's slower than the A14 Bionic chip in the iPhone 12

doesn't even come close to M1

[quick locust]

Tuxedo put a lot of cooling for it 😛

[molten flame]

It's a Samsung issue, not to do with Qualcomm

Samsung Book4 Edge laptop with Snapdragon X Elite was only doing 2.5 GHz boost when it should do 4 GHz

but even with that huge reduction in boost clocks, the battery life is still worse than a MacBook Air

[quick locust]

I'll wait for 9950X3D to drop so 7950X3D goes under 400

[ivory creek]

rumors have it that the 9000x3d cpus might release as early as september, so not that far away if true

[brave sundial]

I've seen them selling at around 500

Ally X is a pretty big upgrade at double the battery capacity

[molten flame]

Ally 2023 has 16GB at 6400 MT/s while the new Ally X has 24GB at 7500 MT/s

[brave sundial]

Oh yeah, for games like cities skylines, that would be great

[pale quartz]

it won't make a difference in a way that matters to CS

both games are engine bottlenecked because it doesn't use multithreading, aka it's hyper (single core) processor bound, the developers lied and said this would be fixed for the second but it never was

[brave sundial]

If you want to install mods, it does

Which at this point for C:S is kind of required if you want a more enjoyable experience

[pale quartz]

unfortunately yeah

though with the ally there is a point not being mentioned here that it draws some 100 or so watts, so double battery capacity won't translate to 2x duration, much less on the linear scale

[brave sundial]

Yeah, I never expected something as huge as 2x battery life

Would be more like 1.5x right?

[pale quartz]

assuming same specifications yes it would be roughly that, though the main caveat here is power targets haven't been revealed afaik for the ally x, so it could be less, it will impact idle usage mainly (in theory, you get to charge it less if you're not putting it constantly under games)

battery scaling only really applies to mobile platforms because of the comparatively tiny wattage draw across them

"Our GPUs tend to come with faulty fans that break after a few months usage, you can now replace them" - XFX

[dry pike]

I see absolutely nothing wrong with making replaceable fans. They are the typical cause of RMAs for any GFX card.

However, just make it standard fans

[molten flame]

During Computex, several motherboard vendors complained to tech journalists that they are blamed by Intel for the CPU instability situation

[digital hill]

Forget, adding a way to limit power

[digital hill]

Agreed, I think fans fail more than the hardware itself unless its a 2000 gpu then start replacing caps since the 2000s were plagued with crappy caps

[toxic wigeon]

oooo replacement fans.

Customise your GPU.

[dry pike]

Tbh. I kinda wish I could buy graphics cards with just the heatsink and mounting spots for 120/140mm fans. Then let myself buy some proper chunky Noctua fans.

sandbagging can mean to make something look worse than it really is

they did it with 5000 series iirc

[toxic wigeon]

Bruh

Intel cores run hot on laptops wtf

My mum just got a laptop with a 13620 and under the slightest load the fans go BRRR

[pale quartz]

fan curves on intel laptops are aggressive since they use turbo frequencies (boost) for single core clocks

theyre also excluding the very new releases just not that efficient either

[toxic wigeon]

Ahhh yeah

Oh RIGHT the recent bullshit about turbo shit causing issues.

[tawny mauve]

Smaller m2 ssd have less storage and speed?

[pale quartz]

yes

it's cell storage, you can't fit more cells, in less space

[tawny mauve]

And is there smaller heatsink or just that?

[pale quartz]

you don't need a heatsink for smaller drives

unless you're running a 5.0 drive you probably don't it for 4.0 drives either, subject to specific models

[turbid verge]

I mean the 2280 is the literal standard these days

[tawny mauve]

For sure

I didn't know a smaller size exists

[molten flame]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9950x-listed-at-a-lower-price-than-7950x3d-at-launch-in-canada

Zen 5 cheaper to produce than Zen 4

also been in mass production since January so there's likely a lot of stock

[pale quartz]

non x3d chips, not applicable to say

[tawny mauve]

Another longer than 2280

[molten flame]

need 8TB in 2230 size

PCIe 5.0 too

gib

[mystic flax]

8TB! Is that for work I assume

Or some sort of fun activity that requires a lot of space

[brave sundial]

Obviously he'll partition 2TB each for multibooting different OS

2TB each for windows, macos and Linux. Last 2TB for games

[frigid condor]

[turbid verge]

Isnt the 22110 more of a server type m2?

[turbid verge]

Nice, you gonna live the performance that boy can reach

[pale quartz]

ent rather than servers, they're found on OEM boards

[turbid verge]

hum, interesting. I knew they existed but never knew the actual purpose of the size

but again I guess with the 2280 being kinda of the industry standard for consumers

the rest I think has its own purposes or cases

[pale quartz]

there isn't so much a use case, per say

[turbid verge]

I think I remember

the 2230 was found mostly in laptops but wasnt as a storage unit

but as a bluetooth or wifi module

[pale quartz]

as I alluded to yesterday NVMe, including the size has everything to do with cell condensing on the NAND, the larger the drive is the less it costs (log n) relative to base costs to include more storage on a single (double or single sided) drive, the 2280 standard is just the best for consumer boards in relation to compromise between board take up space and (the above), 2230 is in laptops because physical sizes, and 22110 is used in enterprise as costs don't particularly matter for them from the beginning so manufacturers can use the most premium standard for that sort of clientele

if something like 2230 was standard on the board setup then consumer drives would be higher etc, that's not to say you can't use 2230 drives on a 2280, it's just a offset key standard, they're all cross compatible with each other (as long as the drive is <= the board standard used)

yes it does

Are they making a 5090

[brave sundial]

Is it really overvalued when you have governments begging you at your doorstep

[ivory creek]

nvidia app is so glitchy to me, i try to set rtx hdr on for a single game and it keep changing every game in my list to rtx hdr even tho i dont change in global settings

annoying

[coarse nimbus]

3.3 trillion dollar company, can't design simple app

[ivory creek]

its still in beta tho

but still, annoying

[pale quartz]

you do have auto HDR disabled in windows right

because they can't both be on at the same time

[ivory creek]

i have auto hdr on but i try to enable rtx hdr on a game where auto hdr isnt working

[pale quartz]

you cannot do this it has to disabled entirely

[ivory creek]

alright

[pale quartz]

RTX HDR will not apply whatsoever if auto HDR is on in windows, and vice versa

if it's on then auto HDR will apply to the game not RTX hdr

[ivory creek]

didnt know , thanks

[ivory creek]

the problem still occur tho, if i turn on rtx hdr on a non auto recognised game every other non recognised game get rtx hdr on aswell. the games that nvidia app list on its own isnt effected tho

[pale quartz]

you can try reinstalling the Nvidia app, it's probably triggering because you had auto HDR on to begin with, but just a guess

better drives now lol

too little too late

[ivory creek]

i read that a new aorus ssd is going to almost push whats possible on gen 5 nvme

[pale quartz]

gen 5 does not matter

unless you have x670e or something else you cant run it anyways

AI100E 2TB supercedes all these drives by a country mile and its not even close, a 219PB TBW rating

[molten flame]

Gen 4 still better if you don't want to spend too much and don't want active cooling for SSD

Gen 5 probably doesn't need active cooling depending on model

[tawny mauve]

gen4x4
gen5x2
What's with the x number thing?

[quick locust]

PCIe Lane count

X4 = 4 lanes
X2 = two lanes

Two PCIe 5.0 lanes is equal to four PCIe 4.0 lanes in bandwidth

[molten flame]

use Gen4 SSDs in Gen5 motherboard so you can have lots of open lanes

[quick locust]

I use a PCIe gen 4 drive in a gen 3 mobo

[molten flame]

ngl PCIe 5.0 is massively overkill to the needs of general consumers, even PCIe 3.0 storage is still perfectly fine for most people

[quick locust]

Neutering it a bit

[molten flame]

gen 4 had some new features but I don't think gen 5 introduced any

[quick locust]

When will I get newer than PCIe 3

Hmm

[ivory creek]

i enjoy my gen4 nvme i often reach my maxspeeds of 7300MB/s when installing games on steam etc, i guess the process would be even faster if it was a gen 5

on a gen 5 mobo ofc

[molten flame]

Do you have Internet fast enough to outpace your NVMe drive?

[pale quartz]

doesn't work the way you think

steam and others don't use on demand file storage they use a block based mechanism to store the entire download then decompress and install the game at once, your internet speed isn't relevant to it

regardless it's more to do with SLC cache than bandwidth itself, if you install a absolutely massive game that's a few hundred GB's, sustained bandwidth will crash after a certain amount has been processed

[quick locust]

My laptop drive is decent

Meanwhile my OS drive on my desktop is still an intel 600p

i wont upgrade my 5800x3d untill it wont be able to push 120fps in shooter titles anymore. my rtx 3090 cant push more than 120hz in 4k anyway

[brave sundial]

nah let them make more to drive down the prices for previous gens even more

Let them dupe the average unsuspecting customer to pay for one with a thick heatsink slapped on top for casual web browsing and light gaming

[ivory creek]

i mean i can reach max of gen 4 when installing stuff on steam

why cant gen 5 be utilized

[pale quartz]

gen 5 nvmes do not drive down lower generation ones

since 1% of users can only use them they are a premium class of drive, besides, phison controllers are not the same between them either

[pale quartz]

because your board doesnt use gen 5 lol

no AM4 board is capable of 5.0

[ivory creek]

i mean if i had a gen 5 board and a nvme gen 5 . i bet steam could max it aswell

[pale quartz]

you cannot run it

AM4 chipsets, are only pcie 4.0, they do not support pcie gen 5

[ivory creek]

i know that lol

i said if i had a gen 5 board

[pale quartz]

its not guaranteed

theres thermal issues involved, its not that simple
