Intel recommends a 500w power supply for the i9-10900K and that's without a graphics card lol

digital hill
#

A 500w psu with a gpu will not power an i9 10900k without problems

#

an 800w psu could

latent light
#

The 10900K consumes close to 400 watts from boost under full load lol

fiery nymph
#

that's crazy

violet plank
#

The 10900K consumes close to 400 watts from boost under full load lol
@latent light

#

actually there is no limit at all according to the original intel sheets

#

only recomendations

#

so 400W +++++

#

and cpu's like 10900k from the same wafer vary +/- 20W,good job intel haHAA

I love white builds

#

That's a reference RX 5700 with white vinyl on it

#

Gives me an idea

#

Fake but looks unique lol

digital hill
#

that looks unique but they will never do unique at all they'll copy the past and that's it

#

RTX 2000 reference was a new design

supple bane
#

might not even be rtx

#

could be, ptx

#

or qtx

latent light
#

It seems more like something XFX would do lol

violet plank
#

actually the fan/cooler design is very interesting,but i highly doubt any of this is real

latent light
#

May not be fake

#

I just think someone made that cooler themself and is trying to jumble up hype

violet plank
#

maybe some kind of engineering sample,who knows

#

color scheme seems completely off for nvidia tho

#

looks like 2 slot,that would be nice

#

my bet is august for the announcements of both nvidia and amd

digital hill
#

though they wouldn't call it geforce rtx though

#

only rtx with the number like 2080 2070 or 2060

violet plank
#

that pic is supposed to be a 3080

#

that rear fan does not make proper sense unless the pcb is really short and the fins go all the way through

storm osprey
#

but i want a 3080 and that thing is ugly..

violet plank
#

paint it orange haHAA

supple bane
#

but i want a 3080 and that thing is ugly..
Ur ugly

#

I think it looks quite good

#

The colours are naff, but with a paint job it would be sweet

violet plank
#

and put some rgb on it,makes it at least 10% faster LUL

latent light
#

Some interesting analysis hinting that the RTX 3080 pictures could be very much real:

#
  1. One of the shrouds has a small little tiny "NVIDIA" logo, no faker would invest time into putting a small logo on these types of things. It would require pretty specific tooling and usually with fakers they love to put the logo big so that there's no ambiguity to the fake.
  2. Irregular PCB shape, both Komachi and Kitty have said this in prior leaks.
  3. It says EMC Certification Pending on the PCI-E connector.

Looking at a mouse with the number pad on the side. Will I be able to use the number pad on ps4?

supple bane
#

With games that natively support keyboard and mouse, yes, I dont see why not

#

Although I dont know why you would buy a nice mouse like that for a ps4 Thonk

#

Considering there are barely any games that can use it

digital hill
#

Well if he wants to dominate fortnite then it sounds like a good idea

cursive sail
#

Because I'm planning on a getting a pc soon. But my bday is coming up and the mouse would be a nice gift. But yes just found out Battlefield v dose not have any settings for mouse and keyboard. So guess I'll go for headphones.

#

@digital hill lol. I did get into fortnite for some reason. I just hate the building thing.

digital hill
#

I don't like fortnite to be honest

#

the building is also the reason I hate it

unreal mountain
#

are the pre built gaming pcs on amazon good ?

storm osprey
#

building your own > prebuilt

#

prebuilts just hit stats like "2060, i5, 16gb ram"

#

when its the worst single fan 2060, the cheapest i5, a single stick of 16gb of ram that is rated 2666mhz

#

and of course the cheapest mb and psu they can get

#

(typically)

digital hill
#

You forgot about shitty cpu coolers

odd goblet
#

Don't forget to get $40 worth of RGB lights

digital hill
#

nah some of them don't even got good rgb

#

but we all forgot about something of prebuilt

#

those shitty ass propierty connectors for fans and psu

astral merlin
#

Trust me, building it yourself will be more worth it as you actually know what you’re going to get and know how the structure of your pc will look like

digital hill
violet plank
#

still ugly @storm osprey ?

supple bane
#

i think that looks pretty sweet

#

but my gut is telling me it will be loud af, unless that fan is really super good and efficient, it would have to spin so fast to move air through that entire heatsink

violet plank
#

hmm,not sure about it yet,but i guess it won't be as loud as the axial fans on the usual founders edition's

#

but the longer i see it the more i like the design as well

prime jasper
#

bruh we'll get a whole new level of gpu sackin

latent light
#

Binning for 10th gen Intel is kinda fucked

storm osprey
#

Yea still ugly. And people think there is another fan on the other side

supple bane
#

wat

#

yeah that would be weird

violet plank
#

your visual taste is highly arguable @storm osprey haHAA

digital hill
#

Oh shit

#

I was cleaning my keyboard

supple bane
digital hill
#

Time to erase her

#

I cannot do it but I can disable her from even opening

violet plank
#

or deny her any access to audio devices haHAA

cursive sail
#

@digital hill ya. There was a mode some time back that you could only build 10 of each type of wall. That should be the normal amount in my opinion or at lest a permanent option.

digital hill
#

?

cursive sail
#

@digital hill fortnite. My reply is late.

digital hill
#

Ah

cursive sail
#

But there are better BR games anyways.

digital hill
#

I agree but the problem is they will find a way to make it climbing but true there are better br gamescough cough pubg mobile cough cough

cursive sail
#

Unfortunately for me I don't have a pc or a phone that can play pubg.

digital hill
#

Ah

cursive sail
#

It's on ps4 but I hear it's buggy.

alpine haven
#

I'm perplexed as to what that has to do with #technology ?

digital hill
#

@alpine haven Well fortnite requires a pc console or mobile device which means that you need technology to play them so we are talking about technology where he says no pc or phone which is part of technology

alpine haven
#

@digital hill Not really, that's more of a #general conversation. If you were discussing the r/w of say an SSD and the performance impacts while playing Fortnite, that would make sense.

digital hill
#

Ah

#

It was a while ago anyway and my ps4 might be overheating

alpine haven
#

Gotcha

digital hill
#

as on the back it's hot as shit

alpine haven
#

Bad fan/heat sink or?

digital hill
#

no idea

alpine haven
#

Might be time to take it apart and explore. 😉

digital hill
#

can't be fan due to the fact the front is cool

alpine haven
#

Not sure what that would have to do with it, but ideally your PSU for the device would be at the rear, so it would seemingly be hotter there than at the front I would think.

digital hill
#

True

#

But seems like it suppose to be hot in the back as if it was overheating well it would shut down

digital hill
#

?

alpine haven
#

That seems about right, there is a large blower.

#

Do you hear it whirring when you turn it on?

digital hill
#

It was a little loud but it's close to me so it's not whirring

#

It will be loud if I put in some cd

#

also I was doing it to test a controller analog stick as when I plug it into my pc and play euro truck simulator 2 the right analog stick will drift

alpine haven
#

That blower is drawing cold air from the front/top and pushing it to/out the rear.

digital hill
#

Ah

#

and the controller drift on my ps4 is non existant

supple bane
#

PSU's dont get that hot, heatsinks get hot, if there is a hotspot on your ps4 there is a good chance that is just where the heatsink is

digital hill
#

ah

#

thank you

alpine haven
#

The PS4 has no heatsink for the PSU--the encasement is designed to channel heat out. The blower pushes through a GPU spreader/heatpipe, reaching the PSU encasement, then pushing out the rear.

#

That would significantly tax it's ability to cool.

digital hill
#

I don't want to take apart and see

violet plank
#

take this with a truck load of salt

molten coral
#

Price: 3000

violet plank
#

3000 what?nachos? haHAA

digital hill
#

3000 pesos

supple bane
#

nacho doesnt like nachos so 3000 nachos certainly wouldnt be his style lol

latent light
#

Intel be like: Benchmarks don't represent real world performance, unless it's Userbenchmark.com

violet plank
#

isn't intel testing amd with x370 boards for their charts? haHAA

#

and slow ram ofc

storm osprey
#

please dont let that design be official for the 3080 founders

#

i might just not get it at launch if thats the case...

violet plank
#

usually you only get a founders ed if you plan to put a waterblock on it

#

for that they are perfect

storm osprey
#

i dont plan to, but i want a gpu ASAP

#

i dont want to wait 2-3 before AIB cards come out and are available to buy without a bot

violet plank
#

you'll regret it imo

#

buying a founders

storm osprey
#

werent 2000 series founders close to AIB performance?

violet plank
#

unless you like it noisy

#

not at all

molten coral
#

Just get a GTX 210 it has raytracing and you will be able to play games at 1 fps.

violet plank
#

and loud af

#

thermals and noise are bad on the 2xxx founders

storm osprey
#

hmm, could have sworn the 2000 series founders werent nearly that bad

molten coral
#

it's alright

#

it gets hot though

violet plank
#

but with a custom waterblock they are awesome

#

cause the first chips are usually good binned

#

but need proper cooling

molten coral
#

Still wanna watercool my PC one day

#

But it's so expensive

violet plank
#

it is

#

i was planning to do a new build,1000$ material cost

#

and the maintenance sucks as well haHAA

#

draining and cleaning the loop takes so much time

#

but still,i wanna do a zmt build,love the looks

#

zmt = zero maintenance tubes

storm osprey
#

looks like too much work to me

digital hill
#

I need to get a better exhaust fan and better cpu cooler

violet plank
#

custom loops are a lot of work,all of them

supple bane
#

i wouldnt mind doign a custom loop, its the gpu block im not sure about

violet plank
#

that's the easy part

digital hill
#

the hard part is making sure no leaks

violet plank
#

err missread

digital hill
#

and it works

violet plank
#

read cpu lol

supple bane
#

yeah i just dont have the confidence to do something like that

#

i think i would have to buy a gpu with a block preinstalled

violet plank
#

if you do it the first time,just be aware that you might destroy some (all) of your hardware LUL

supple bane
#

im all too familiar with that concept, dont worry

violet plank
#

i know lol

digital hill
#

or go towards air cooling which is still better

supple bane
#

no

#

no air cooler will beat a custom loop

#

fact

violet plank
#

true in most points

#

at least for intel atm OMEGALUL

storm osprey
#

unless im rolling in dough and can buy multiple expensive parts and not even be concerned about replacing them, i will never do a custom loop

violet plank
#

you can do a build like this,not much to gain with a custom loop here

#

as an example

#

if you don't mind the looks

digital hill
#

I mean they do now have a black fan

storm osprey
#

so for the new founders editions is the bottom fan going to intake and top fan exhaust?

violet plank
#

ye,he just wanted to use the ones he already had

storm osprey
#

so top fan is "passive" and bottom fan is exhaust?

#

weird..

violet plank
#

both

storm osprey
#

both?

violet plank
#

bottom fans blows to the middle and out of the card

#

but that's theory unless we see a real and final design

#

from nvidia

storm osprey
#

interesting

violet plank
#

and question remains imo if there is any kind of chambering inside

storm osprey
#

well shiiiit

#

i was hoping it was a standard dual fan like 2xxx series were..

violet plank
#

just pull an orange bag over it and be done with it LUL

digital hill
#

Damn my ps4 airflow was filled with so much dust

molten coral
#

The only thing I hate about my card is that I can't change the colour of the ''GEFORCE RTX'' text

#

Always green

storm osprey
#

oof, if that happens with these im turning it off

violet plank
#

founders card?

molten coral
#

ye

violet plank
#

there is a prog to change it

digital hill
#

I do like those greens

storm osprey
#

green would be cool if you had a green build

#

i have orange though xD

molten coral
#

Would be better if it was white

violet plank
#

called led visualizer or something like that

digital hill
#

I mean look at the matrix

violet plank
#

dunno if it still works tho,

#

it's from nvidia

digital hill
#

they had green so with a green gpu then I'll like it

storm osprey
#

i will clip the LEDs if i have to

digital hill
#

or nacho why not just cover it with some sort of tape and call it a day

supple bane
#

that would be even more ugly lol

violet plank
#

lmao,make a video of it plz

molten coral
violet plank
#

worked on an old 980ti of mine,no idea about now nacho

digital hill
#

What does that say

molten coral
#

learn dutch smh

violet plank
digital hill
#

Fine but if I get killed by Duolingo I'll blame you nacho

violet plank

supple bane
#

they apparently do support it

molten coral
#

mhh

violet plank
#

nice

supple bane
#

basically, you need to do modz

violet plank
#

but does it works with current gen cards ?

supple bane
#

yeah

#

i think

violet plank
#

i don't got any FE cards installed,can't test it

supple bane
#

how hard is it to install an AIO on a gpu?

molten coral
#

not hard

violet plank
#

not worth it

digital hill
#

But remember to keep the 20 of screws with you

violet plank
#

nzxt one ?

supple bane
#

no, just a normal, run of the mill cpu cooler

violet plank
#

yeah lol,tons of real tiny screws

supple bane
#

should have specified that i guess lol

violet plank
#

and how do you want to fit it on the gpu ?

supple bane
#

well i know its possible, just dont know how hard it is lol

violet plank
#

nzxt has a mounting for it,only one i know of

#

everything else is not worth it imo

storm osprey
#

@supple bane like that

violet plank
#

lol

supple bane
#

i guess

#

just with an aio not a heatsink

storm osprey
#

ah

violet plank
#

that's the one

supple bane
#

it doesnt support my card

#

trust me, i checked lol

violet plank
#

leave it like it is

#

i did mount noctua fans on a gpu once

storm osprey
#

20 bucks just for the mountain bracket, then you need to buy the AIO

violet plank
#

also not worth it haHAA

#

well,it runs cooler but ugly af

supple bane
#

i guess its not that bad, after i changed my fans around i saw a massive improvement in temperatures on my gpu

violet plank
#

and mounted with zip ties

supple bane
#

but still reaching 80 degrees

#

before it was like 86 and climbing

violet plank
#

ok that's too hot

digital hill
#

My pc is strangely started to sound louder

violet plank
#

but better look at your case airflow first

supple bane
#

that 80 degrees is with case and gpu fans running at full bore tho fyi

storm osprey

this is what i use to clean my electronics

@molten coral id say burger

digital hill
#

@molten coral Well what do you crave a burger or a pizza

storm osprey
#

but pizza gives me heartburn

molten coral
#

I was thinking to buy that one day but on the other hand I only clean my PC once every 6 months or so

#

so it will just catch dust in the corner

#

Also I crave both

supple bane
#

get both then

molten coral
#

expensive though

supple bane
digital hill
#

Then get both

supple bane
#

i never said i didnt understand it lmao

storm osprey

@molten coral i have a bunch of electronics, and a bunch of pets, so i got a lot to clean with that thing

My internet is extremely slow, so I copied my brothers installation of the most recent patch onto a usb and now onto my computer. My question is, in the process, the files have all lost their folders so I have one giant mess of a folder. What would be the best way to reorganize this and then scan it? Currently doing the install/pause install/put new files into folder/resume isn't doing it. Any advice?

supple bane

I have never even heard of someone putting a patch onto a drive and transferring that way. have you done that before? because i feel like it wouldnt work

Its not just the patch, it's the entire game install and copying it over

I do it regularly for almost all games that have large file sizes since it would take multiple days for me to download

What phone do you currently have?

molten coral
#

Samsung note 8

quaint topaz
#

I love the note series

#

Used to have a note 3

molten coral
#

I'm currently waiting for the Note 20

#

so I can buy the note 10+ for cheap

quaint topaz
#

One hell of a jump

#

But makes sense, 2020

molten coral
#

I really like the look of the 10+

#

I hope the Note 20 isn't going to be super expensive like the S20 ultra or else I'll just get that but it really depends on the price.

#

Like the note 10+ is still 850 euro here

#

So if the note 20 drops for 1k I rather get that

#

oneplus 8 pro also seems like a good phone

quaint topaz
#

Wouldn't doubt it. Note series was considered a luxury device

#

The s pen is hands down brilliant at least imo

#

Especially when you can use it as a camera shutter

molten coral
#

Yeah can't do that with my note 8

#

Also pretty sure my pen is broken

If I get near the screen with the pen it starts touching random stuff

supple bane
#

@true cradle if you have an advertised speed of 70 then you will get 70 lol

prime jasper
#

1070 or 1660ti/super?

supple bane
#

1660ti

prime jasper
#

Okay. Heard it's actually more powerfull right?

supple bane
#

its more comparable to an rtx 2060

prime jasper
#

Ah okay thanks

supple bane
#

they gett pretty much the exact same fps, but i dont think the 1070 can be had new anymore

#

and if they can, they are much more expensive

#

k?

prime jasper
#

I got bfv...
@prime jasper ?🤔

digital hill
#

Nacho today I figured out why you couldn't change it as it doesn't support rtx but nvidia did say to try evga precesion x1

#

maybe try that to change your color rgb

#

since led visualizer does not support rtx

prime jasper
#

yup

#

x1 works great for me

molten coral
prime jasper
#

make sure you uninstall afterburner or whatever you were trying to use before

molten coral
#

only thing I have is the G.skill software

digital hill
#

So no color strange but at least now you can just disable it

molten coral
#

I don't see how to do that though

digital hill
#

You gotta click on the photo

#

and change mode to off or something

prime jasper
#

reboot and try again

molten coral
#

Turned on the lights of my fans for the first time in ages

#

so much dust on the windows

#

turns off

digital hill
#

oof

#

why not just open up the window then clean the udst

molten coral
#

cuz im lazy

digital hill
molten coral
#

nah

digital hill
#

I do clean my pc and I feel like my cpu cooler may need a change in thermal paste

#

as my fans are ramping up higher or it's just the shitty exhaust fan

molten coral
#

had the PC behind the monitors

#

was kinda terrible

digital hill
#

are those tv's as monitors

molten coral
#

They are not TV's btw

#

just monitors

digital hill
#

Man back then monitors just had that tv look to them

#

I mean the idea of putting a computer behind the monitors is not a good idea

molten coral
digital hill
#

Nice

#

and the custom water cooling and theme looks nice

molten coral
#

It's the NZXT kraken something

#

Just bought some white mod sleeves

digital hill
#

Ah

molten coral
digital hill
#

also nacho tots zien

#

I have to go watch a lecture for art history 101

molten coral
#

ablobsalute good luck

violet plank
#

good taste with the case 👌

#

would annoy me have it on the desk tho

supple bane
#

you cant buy a case like that and put it on the floor

violet plank
#

i do haHAA

supple bane
#

its just.

#

morally wrong

violet plank
#

well i got the xl of it but still

supple bane
#

if you have an o11 dynamic it shoud be the center piece lol

violet plank
#

it would/does distract me

#

i do,the o11 xl

#

need the hot swap drives

#

i got the top dark anyways,only side and bottom is lit

supple bane
#

i prefer the c corsair 680x tbh

#

but its just so damn expensive

violet plank
#

o11 is expensive as well

#

was the best solution for me with the size and hot swap bays

#

and excellent cooling

#

the rog symbol annoys me tho,can't remove it

#

why does the 680x has that glass top plate?just for visuals ?

supple bane
#

i guess so yeah

#

the 280x is slightly more reasonable. but is smaller

molten coral
#

I bought the case because it looked good and someone from the EA gaming server was recommending it.

#

I'm still happy with it

#

Just need to clean it lol

violet plank
digital hill
#

I own the fractual focus g case as it came with 2 front fans

#

for cheap

supple bane
#

most cases come with 2 fans nowadays

digital hill
#

and just looked simple and came in a couple of days

storm osprey
#

wack

digital hill
#

Its a good case

#

I just wanted something that came with two fans

storm osprey
#

oh i didnt mean wack to your case, i just wanted to say wack

digital hill
#

Ah

storm osprey
#

i always wondered if the focus g was good

digital hill
#

for me it is good

storm osprey
#

i usually recommend fractal design stuff

digital hill
#

It was 54.99 when I bought it and had colors but I choice black

#

plus the window is plastic meaning I can kick it without it cracking

storm osprey
#

it looks like a budget meshify

digital hill
#

Yeah now the scalpers are making it worth more then it should be

#

since they don't sell it new anymore

violet plank
#

finally

digital hill
#

Damn that looks expensive

violet plank
#

available 24 august

digital hill
#

I will say 800 dollars

violet plank
#

it's qlc,so it won't be that expensive

molten coral
#

SSD's are pretty cheap nowadays

violet plank
#

not really compared to hdd's

#

for the price of a current 4tb ssd i get a 14tb hdd

molten coral
#

Yeah but that is because hard drives exists since the 50's

violet plank
#

i'm running 2x 12tb wed red in my pc,would love to replace them with ssd,but i really need my liver haHAA

digital hill
#

I mean you can't compared 50's drive to today

molten coral
#

SSD's are still pretty ''new'' tbh

digital hill
#

I hope the new consoles cheapen the price of nvme drives

violet plank
#

maybe the opposite in the beginning

digital hill
#

I wonder if it will be cheaper to buy a console then a nvme drive

violet plank
#

sony has a weird nvme,doubt you can buy/use it outside the console itself?

#

no idea about xbox

digital hill
#

I think xbox will use the same though

#

It might be smaller

violet plank
#

iirc the sony one is in 2 parts,1 part has faster speed

storm osprey
#

so ssd/hdd thats been out for a while?

prime jasper
#

you are surely talking about an sshd

#

thats nothing new

latent light
#

PS5 will have 825GB and 1.65TB options

#

Xbox will have 1TB and 2TB and maybe even up to 4TB

prime jasper
#

lmao I love how arbitrary sonys drives are

true cradle
#

Do Ethernet cables work if I have a usb WiFi adapter?

#

And also do usb WiFi adapter have different speeds?

prime jasper
#

take out the adapter first and yes

true cradle
#

But if I remove the adapter the Ethernet won’t work cuz I don’t have a WiFi thing in my mobo

#

@prime jasper

prime jasper
#

bro that makes no fucking sense

true cradle
#

So what you’re saying is that I don’t need a usb WiFi adapter to use Ethernet

prime jasper
#

you dont use ethernet alongside wifi...pick one or the other

true cradle
#

Gotcha

storm osprey
#

wired > wifi

#

just plugs straight into the MB

true cradle
#

Yeah I know that

#

Ok just to make sure, I don’t need a WiFi card or usb WiFi adapter if I’m using an Ethernet cable

digital hill
#

I use an ethernet cable as it's faster then wifi

#

and plus my pc don't have wifi

true cradle
#

Oh so you don’t have a WiFi card or WiFi adapters

#

Ok that gives me the confirmation I need

#

Thx

#

I would like to send one of you guys a pic of a cable and can one of you tell me if it’s a standard Ethernet cable that works with a pc

#

It says RJ45

prime jasper
#

yup thats it

storm osprey
#

i do not have any sort of wifi in my pc, i just plug my ethernet straight into my mb

true cradle
#

Ok

#

Thx

digital hill
#

standard ethernet

prime jasper

Mfw you wanna upgrade your camera gear but you can't decide on the lenses nor the body

#

Pickiness is a curse

violet plank
#

welp,lense is always more important

violet plank
#

uh @supple bane this is for you haHAA

supple bane
#

hehehe

#

but why tho?

#

why is that me?

storm osprey
#

find reasons to upgrade

true cradle
#

what are things i should check for when buying a router?
how do i know if its good or not

storm osprey
#

compatibility, range, signal strength, ports, etc

#

i just google "best bang for buck" and do research from there

true cradle
#

can i give you a site and you try to find a good router from there?

#

i cant

violet plank
#

your isp,cable,copper,fiber,your inhouse cable and so on

true cradle
#

ok ill do some searching but you guys stay with me

violet plank
#

easiest thing,get a router from your isp

true cradle
#

but i dont want to get a shitty router

#

they might give me something that, fits and only fits your needs

violet plank
#

what do you want more?

storm osprey
#

ISP charge monthly rental fees, you can buy your own shit that will "pay for itself" in about a year

violet plank
#

maybe you should write which country and isp you got

true cradle
#

they might give me something with little room for improvement

#

can i just send you guys specs and you guys tell me if its a good one?

storm osprey
#

in usa they usually give you an all in one that they charge rent

violet plank
#

it dosent work that way lol

storm osprey
#

we need your isp at least

violet plank
#

and if you're connected through copper/cable/fiber

true cradle
#

ok

#

ok i have carbon fiber cables

violet plank
#

there are no carbon fibers

storm osprey
#

@violet plank ive never heard of worrying what youre connected through

true cradle
storm osprey
#

what is that egypt?

violet plank
#

same

true cradle
#

yeah

#

really?

#

youre also in egypt

violet plank
#

i was answering to nyphon

true cradle
#

oh

storm osprey
#

ah

#

wait what?

true cradle
#

wait what?

storm osprey
#

dont copy me...

true cradle
#

thats what a copy cat does

#

ba dum tiss

violet plank
#

what speed do you got ?

#

from your isp

true cradle
#

i believe 70mbps

#

advertised speed ^

#

so i think id have to use an ethernet cable to achieve that

violet plank
#

you can do that with wifi or cable,but cable is always better

true cradle
#

this good

digital hill
#

But remember it's gonna be the speed of your router which could be better speed or just the same speed even with wifi

violet plank
#

look for one that has 1gig ports on the lan side

true cradle
#

ok....

violet plank
#

does your isp even support other routers?

true cradle
#

but 1 gig is not even attainable in my country

#

im not even using a router that belongs to my isp

#

not same brand

violet plank
#

that's on your local network not for your isp speed

true cradle
#

no

#

my isp has these space packages and the best one is 100mbps

violet plank
#

like if you wanna use it as an access point for different devices if you have more than 1

#

or attach an hd as nas storage and so on

true cradle
#

WAIT

#

my router is in fact the same brand as the isp

violet plank
#

you got more than 1 pc/laptop or whatever?

true cradle
#

WE

#

can you stop talking like ill understand you

#

i dont understand any of that

violet plank
#

uhm in that case it's really hard to help

true cradle
#

just slowly explain

#

also im not the only one living in the house and using wifi if thats your question

violet plank
#

are you connected via dsl to the internet ?

#

vdsl

true cradle
#

i dont think so?

#

im connected wirelessly

#

i dont think i have any dsl or vdsl ports on my router

violet plank
#

where do you plug in your router to the internet ?

#

like phone line ?

true cradle
#

yeah

violet plank
#

so it's dsl

true cradle
#

ok.....

violet plank
#

or vdsl

true cradle
#

ok

violet plank
#

on what store do you usually buy such stuff as a router ?

#

or pc electronics ?

true cradle
#

well we have Souq.com for all our worries which is shitty

#

although we have a few sites for PCparts

#

modern pcparts

#

but i dont think they have any routers

#

so for routers i guess use my isp?

violet plank
#

nah,those are not very good

#

i checked them

true cradle
#

oh no

#

um lemme find another site

true cradle
#

i cant use amazon

#

did i mention im 15

violet plank
#

nope lol

true cradle
#

oh well no its there

#

so maybe try finding something that is cash

#

like something local

#

are you sure theres nothing on souq or noon

#

also im not looking for something high end

violet plank
true cradle
violet plank
#

wanna go cheap or more expensive ?

true cradle
#

define expensive

violet plank
#

dunno your currency,you got a limit ?

true cradle
#

um well what can you get by 700 or lower egp

violet plank
#

what is aed ?

#

egp = egypt pound ?

true cradle
#

aed is emirates

#

yes

violet plank
#

how much aed is 700 egp?

true cradle
#

well

#

158 aed

violet plank
#

nothing good in that price range

true cradle
#

ok find me the best cheapest thing

#

so i dont mind if you go higher than 700 egp

#

but finding me something good, but the lowest you can find

violet plank
#

not that easy,i'm trying

true cradle
#

ok

#

no pressure

violet plank
#

cheapest good one i found so far is 2246 egp...

true cradle
#

why

#

jeez

#

on all 3 sites?

#

i dont need 1 gig speed routers btw

#

maximum speed i can get is 100mbps

violet plank
#

yeah,you won't get any for that price range

#

that speed is for the internal network in your house

true cradle
#

no

violet plank
#

you could go with your isp router which is 5egp per month renting ?

true cradle
#

my isp cannot provide higher than that

#

we dont rent

#

this good?

violet plank
#

sec

#

for the price yes

true cradle
#

so its a good router

violet plank
#

it's about the same as the huawei you can rent from your isp

#

actually a bit better

#

good wifi

true cradle
#

so is it decent?

violet plank
#

yes

#

but

true cradle
#

but?

violet plank
#

ask your isp if it is compatible to be sure

true cradle
#

ok

violet plank
#

so it works for sure

true cradle
#

how fast is it

violet plank
#

for the price it is decent

true cradle
#

just to make sure

violet plank
#

100mbs

true cradle
#

is it generally decent?

#

ok

violet plank
#

it is for the price

true cradle
#

ok in general

violet plank
#

yes

true cradle
#

ok

violet plank
#

will be hard to find anything better for that price imo

true cradle
#

found something else

#

1 gigabit speed i think

violet plank
#

that's double the price tho

#

and of course it is much better

true cradle
#

i know

#

but the upgrade is much more than double

#

10 times faster

violet plank
#

it is better in any way possible

true cradle
#

you say that 100mbps is the max in my house?

#

can you explain that

violet plank
#

100mbs is the max internet speed you can get from your isp

true cradle
#

ok can you find a different isp in my country that has anything faster?

violet plank
#

but if you connect like 2 pcs on the router on 1 gig ports,they can transfer on 1 gig to each other

#

but only pc to pc

#

if you need/want that

#

otherwise you don't need it

true cradle
#

i dont understand

#

if i have 2 lan ports on my router

#

and my router is 1 gigabit speed

#

and i use both on 2 pcs

#

the speed on the pcs will be 1gigabit?

violet plank
#

if the pc's have 1 gig connectors

#

like 1 gig port on the mainboard or network card

true cradle
#

question

#

i dont have a wifi card on my motherboard

#

i have a usb wifi adapter

#

do i remove it when i get an ethernet cable?

violet plank
#

yes

true cradle
#

ok

#

also are there any other isps in my country that can provide a faster speed?

violet plank
#

imo go for the cheaper router

#

i have no idea about your country's isp

true cradle
#

i found a slighty expensive one with a speed of 300mbps

violet plank
#

best you find someone with knowledge where your live

true cradle
#

i have a hard time making friends

violet plank
#

not really better,has a fiber port which you can't use

true cradle
#

i am using fiber tho

violet plank
#

are you sure?

true cradle
#

yes i have carbon fiber cables

#

even asked the technician when he installed them

#

also was the thing about the 1gigabit speed using 2 pcs thing called combined dual band?

violet plank
#

you connect your router to the internet with such a cable ?

true cradle
#

it a red one

#

the one i have is red

#

want me to send a pic?

violet plank
#

if it is the same no

true cradle
#

i mean how do i know the difference

violet plank
#

but in this case you need a router with fiber connection

#

if you got fiber in your house

true cradle
#

i am like 99% sure its fiber because i asked the guy

#

the 1% decreased because of all your questioning

violet plank
#

like you got an outlet where you plug in that cable

true cradle
#

so now i have doubts

#

can i just send you a pic

violet plank
#

yes plz

true cradle
#

ok

DM

oblique raft
#

who here plays on xbox

#

and also who here plays on playstation

storm osprey
#

not a lot of console players come around these parts

oblique raft
#

for real

storm osprey
oblique raft
#

ok

storm osprey
#

or people thinking this chat is tech support

oblique raft
#

but which side are you on

storm osprey
#

pc > ps > switch

oblique raft
#

i just want to have a discussion

#

ok so for this generation of consoles playstation won

#

because xbox was being kinda dumb

#

but this time playstation might win one more time because of the same reason

storm osprey
#

in terms of sales?

oblique raft
#

yes

storm osprey
#

i really dont see xbox winning any time soon

oblique raft
#

i know

storm osprey
#

they gotta build up a first party portfolio thats diverse

#

xbox is basically an american gaming system through and through

#

its honestly pretty impressive it has the sales it does with that said

#

(and the lack of exclusives this gen tbh)

oblique raft
#

yeah but its like they almost hold back tho

storm osprey
#

well last i heard they bought a bunch of devs so lets see how that goes

#

granted i think at the beginning of a launch xbox usually buys devs and it doesnt amount to much

#

also doesnt help that most of their exclusives come to PC as well

astral merlin
#

@storm osprey a friend wants to buy a GPU for about $150. What are your recommendations?

#

He doesn't know AMD much but is willing to try it

sinful mantle
#

find a GTX 960 IF YOU CAN

#

sorry caps

#

the 960 is in that price range

astral merlin
#

Okie, I will tell him that

sinful mantle
#

im using one now in fact

astral merlin
#

How much can a 960 handle in Battlefield V? ThinkHmm

storm osprey
#

uhh atm prices are kind of all over the place

sinful mantle
#

it was optimized for bf4 at ultra...i set it to custom settings mostly medium and it runs bfv very smooth much like bf3

molten coral
#

how about the RX 580?

storm osprey
#

iirc 580 beats 960 in general, and is much better for bf titles too

molten coral
#

Could probably get it second hand for cheap

sinful mantle
#

if you spend that same amount on a newer card you wont get the same performance as the GTX ws a upper tier card in its day

storm osprey
#

(bf games love amd for some reason)

#

yea im pretty sure 580 competes with 1060 even

#

(just higher TDP)

sinful mantle
#

im not aware of all the newer cards but can testify to the 960s performance on bfv

#

actuially the 960 beats the 1060 in performance

storm osprey
sinful mantle
#

see the 9 series were short lived when the moved to the 1000 series

storm osprey
#

1060 was the direct upgrade to 960

sinful mantle
#

i see...hows the price differencial?

#

we're talking $150

#

but to be quite honest i will need a new card sometimes soon or revert to low setting on future games...but for now im running medium on most recent games...on gamers debate ive read that the GTX 960 renders 97 out of the latestest 100 games

#

oh i just noticed that the chart refers to ultra settings?

#

how are the two cards on medium settings?

storm osprey
#

960 arent even sold new anymore, since those launched in 2014 or 2015 (dont recall off the top of my head)

sinful mantle
#

yeah this is why i said "if you can find one"

storm osprey
#

while 580 did launch a while ago as well, they for some reason have held up their performance all these years and are deemed bang for buck kings at 1080p

sinful mantle
#

yeah true

storm osprey
#

a new 580 8gb is around 160

sinful mantle
#

good price indeed

#

its the 8 gig that does it

#

do they render ultra well?

#

on bfv?

#

i dont need ultra but would be nice to have the option

#

im a performance whore....lol

storm osprey
#

afaik 8gb vram is like ram, having more than needed doesnt really do anything

#

its once you hit a limit that you see problems

sinful mantle
#

yeah thats why i was asking

storm osprey
#

and yea, ultra settings uses more vram

sinful mantle
#

in fact in some cases more can in fact slow you up

storm osprey
#

i think textures, view distance, and a couple of other settings are really taxing on vram

sinful mantle
#

more to render yeah

storm osprey
#

and if youre looking to get a new card there are new gpus coming out within a couple of months

#

though they will release high end like xx80 and xx80 ti first, that should have some effect on lower end cards prices

quaint topaz
#

Get 👏 the 👏 4GB 👏 version

#

960 2gb is almost useless for most of today's AAA titles.

sinful mantle
#

to an extent this is true if your into eye candy only

#

i get 60 frames consistantly on medium to high setting bfv

#

star citizen is taxing though

molten coral
#

lol even with my 2080ti rip my frames in star citizen

sinful mantle
#

it runs squad on mostly high settings

storm osprey
#

yea i had a 1060 3gb and couldnt play tomb raider because of vram limitations

sinful mantle
#

its about compromize and custom setting basically on just about everything PC wise unless you have big pockets

#

but the beauty of PC is that you can customize setting and clock up

#

im not gonna upgrade now. Im saving to buy or build a brand new machine for bf6

#

ill keep this one for tooling around and comms

quaint topaz
#

I have a love hate relationship with star citizen

#

The tech is cool, gameplay isn't so much

#

It's just a giant tech demo at this point

digital hill
#

my 570 oc just runs gta v good but not oc well expect 40fps

sinful mantle
#

@quaint topaz iagree im in love with the concept

#

elete dangerous is adding fps shooting

#

its a star ship game as well

#

^ thats the fps trailer

#

explanation ^

#

im pretty exited about this developement

violet plank
#

Gigabyte B550 Vision D

supple bane
#

pog

violet plank
#

now that's a nice looking board...

supple bane
#

need

#

is that their first "vision" board?

#

because if they carry on that line, it might well be my next

violet plank
#

dunno

#

never seen a design like this

#
  1. june is the official sales start of b550 boards
supple bane
#

my only problem with that board is that a.) it gigabyte b.) it lacks rgb

violet plank
#

lul

supple bane
#

after having an rgb logo on the chipset heatsink, i probably couldnt go bck

#

it fills a normally empty boring black void with that rgb goodness

violet plank
supple bane
#

wow, its connectivity is great

#

2 m.2 and type c?!

violet plank
#

yeah,its' not targeted for gaming

#

still,that board looks fine af

supple bane
#

"gaming"

#

how can you have a gaming motherboard lol

#

other than fancy lights

violet plank
#

bling bling haHAA

#

= gaming

#

as we all now,rgb adds at least 20% more fps LUL

#

ffs this board is tempting af

supple bane
#

im assuming it wouldnt have an rgb header tho

#

which is litterally a no go for most builds now

violet plank
#

crap,true

#

no rgb headers

supple bane
#

do common brands like corsair come with wired controllers ?

#

like, ones that use the powersupply?

violet plank
#

no idea

#

oh

#

new pic of the 3080 cooler

#

this time only the cooler

supple bane
#

ive had my "gaming" chair for almost a month now, and i love it. i dont care if its bad for my back tbh, its super comfortable and looks great

#

gaming chairs = 10/10 for me

#

also @violet plank no, i looked, thats not their first vision D

#

320 pounds tho lmao

violet plank
#

but the b550 is way better looking imo

#

really want that design with rgb headers
