[signal forge]

Got my pc formated

But everytime i locate it asks me to download atleast 20gb

Please help

I dont have enough internet to download!🙄

[granite kestrel]

Does it say downloading or Preparing/Verifying?

[signal forge]

Downloading

[granite kestrel]

If you formatted your PC, isn't the game gone

[signal forge]

Its gone

I copied it in my hdd

External!

Installed origin! Copied the game , open origin , click locate game

Took 10min to locate

Every time it stops at 16gb or 14gb

Ask me to download the rest

Any solution for this

Or a back door to Install the game

[noble steeple]

You do realize that copying it onto an external drive doesn't mean that you copy all the required files to run the game, since some files are hidden/can't be copied over to other drives, hence why Origin asks you to download those missing files.

Same thing goes for Steam games. You can copy most files, but some crucial files need to be redownloaded before you can start the game.

Have y'all heard about DirectML on the Xbox Series X? it's gonna be like DLSS 2.0 on Nvidia RTX cards

Nvidia's DLSS, which is their proprietary machine learning upscaling, relies on tensor cores in their newer GPUs. Xbox Series X doesn't have any dedicated hardware for DML; however, the GPU is capable of 8-bit and 4-bit precision operations.
So, that 12TFlops of GPU power can be calculated as 96 TFlops of DML computing power, meaning that instead of calculating a single 32 floating-point operation per-cycle, the CUs can instead do 4x int8 ops or 8x int4 ops, which are frequently used in ML applications, which will make it much faster than a generic GPU without that functionality for any algorithm that uses those small datatypes, allowing it to do some ML work without too much impact on the rest of the GPU's workload.

While Xbox Series X is able to do something similar to DLSS, it will have to do so at the expense of using some of the GPU's Compute Units for those operations since there is no dedicated hardware to offload ML operations.

[prime jasper]

imagine a sff 2080

that would be cursed

[storm osprey]

i thought zotac made a small 2080/ti

[prime jasper]

really? imma check this

its not that small but its defiantly smaller than the normal 2080

i don't think they have the technology to shrink the size of a card that powerful yet

which is sad because i prefer compact sff builds

[supple bane]

It's impossible tbh

Not until hardware gets more efficient at least

[prime jasper]

indeed, its unfortunate

[storm osprey]

why do you like sff?

[prime jasper]

i like to have a portable setup because i move around alot but i don't like gaming laptops

[storm osprey]

id rather have a micro set up still,

sff seem cool, but does it really matter if a system is the size of a gallon of milk vs 2 gallons of milk?

[supple bane]

tbh yeah

at that size, even a 10% improvement in size will see massive improvement in temperatures

[signal forge]

Need help

My game just keeps downloading the game folder reached to 65gb! But in origin it stuck at 76% 24gb

Imagine in 10 years we'll have the top of the line cards using dual 24-pin connectors

https://media.tenor.com/images/6c6b067e95046d7c79a78d9f887a66dd/tenor.gif

[polar tundra]

Creative assembly should help dice

[violet plank]

that 12 pin PC makes no sense

rumor has it there is another 4 pin as well,that's 16 pin,like 2x 8 pin that 2080 (ti) already got

they would need to include adapter(s) cause no PSU got such connectors

maybe 2x 12 Pin? for 320W

but then again,most user would have to buy a new PSU lol

unless the want to yeet 300+ W trough the 12 Pins,which would fry them instantly

[supple bane]

as long as the keying/pinlayout on the 12 pin is the same as a 8+4 idc tbh

meaning you can use 8+4 or if you have a swanky new psu you can use a 12 pin

[violet plank]

you can't push that much W through those pins,they are too tiny

unless they use some others

look at the 2080 ti highly oc'ed models

they got 3x 8pins or 2x 8 and 1x 6

gives me an 14nm +++++ intel feeling all over again lol

[supple bane]

yeah well, it could be 2x12pin or 2x8+4pin

or 3x

i just mean the connector its self

[violet plank]

ah,got you

most would still need a new psu tho

cause limited to 2 x 6+2 pice

specially pre built

[supple bane]

if they do draw 300+w. im interested to see the coolers tbh

there is no way they wont be 3 slots or more

[violet plank]

hope big navi does a better job

but i doubt it

imo cooling 300w isn't a big deal,but getting all that heat out of the case

or they push the upper thermals to,dunno,105 C?

[supple bane]

i cant get rgb fusion to play ball ree

if i launch it, it just completly hard crashes windows

[violet plank]

dafuq

[supple bane]

like, completely unresponsive,

[violet plank]

gigashite quality software

[supple bane]

ctrl+alt+delete aint got nothing on this crash

[violet plank]

well,aura sync isn't much better

works only half the time

but doesent crash windows

at least

[supple bane]

i had to reinstall windows, so im having to install all my software again

but rgb fusion just eint havin it

so i have wonky colours in my desk atm

[violet plank]

hmm,dunno,never used fusion software

maybe google knows something?

[supple bane]

yup, tried

[violet plank]

got any other rgb software besides fusion?

cause they always tend to kick each other

[supple bane]

no

its a fresh windows install

thing is, when i try install it i get an error saying cant install c++ 2015 or sommot like that

[violet plank]

you might miss some packets

install those manually

download from ms

[supple bane]

fuck you gigabyte lol

[violet plank]

.net framework and visual studio stuff

you can always try to call gigashite support

[supple bane]

complete utter waste of time

[violet plank]

just try to manual install .net 3.5/4.x and visual c

[supple bane]

last time i had contact with them. my gpu fans were rubbing on the shroud and they asked me to install gpuz

[violet plank]

ah right,i remember

[supple bane]

would you know any other way to control the led's ?

i assume i cant just install another companys rgb software right? like aura sync?

can i do it in the bios or something?

[violet plank]

nah,you need that fusion stuff

they all make it incompatible to each other so you use their stuff

[supple bane]

Eyy

[violet plank]

only thing you can normally do in the bios is switch the rgb of the mb on or off,that's about it

[supple bane]

Gigabyte finally being a good company

[violet plank]

how lol?

[supple bane]

The entire of rgb fusion is in the bios

[violet plank]

seriously ?

[supple bane]

Like there is a tab in there called rgb fusion lol, clicking that basically just opens a bios version of that app lmao

[violet plank]

i can only switch it on or of with asus,no control at all

[supple bane]

Tbf it's not as detailed as the desktop app

but i can change colours/lighting modes etc

[violet plank]

and if you wanna change something you gotta go into the bios lol

[supple bane]

thats true

[violet plank]

but actually nice that you can change it without software

would love to have that too with asus

since i usually only use 1 color

[supple bane]

i dont usually say this. but hats off to gigabyte. u did gud kid

[violet plank]

agree with that one

[supple bane]

i brought my motherboard and swore i would never buy another gigabyte product, and then was forced to buy a gigabyte 2070 cuz it was the only one i could get my mittens on

and i regret that decision too lmao

if im ever in the situation where the only part i can get is gigabyte. im just not going to buy it lol

[violet plank]

install those

https://support.microsoft.com/sl-si/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

and try fusion again

lol on what language did i land

[supple bane]

Slovenian

[violet plank]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

well,both the same anyways

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

better one

[supple bane]

oh isuni, you wouldnt know anything about how to file share between two pc's on the same network would you ?

in windows i mean

cuz im trying to make it work. and failing miserably

[violet plank]

file manager and share?

[supple bane]

well my main issue is when i try to access the pc it is asking for credentials, and a.) i have no idea what they would be and b.) i have disabled all password protection as far as im aware

[violet plank]

it's usually a 1 time setup

for both machines

[supple bane]

yeah but again. i have no idea what the password or username would be

[violet plank]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4092694/windows-10-file-sharing-over-a-network

dunno the pw,you can try to disable network discovery and start it new without pw

on both machines

not sure if win10 home has some limitations tho,i only use the pro versions

[supple bane]

yeah this just isnt working lol

do both devices have to be wired?

[violet plank]

easier

or on the same wlan

[supple bane]

ill try using my laptop with an ethernet cable then

well both devices are connected to the same router, just one with a wnic and one is ethernet

[violet plank]

if you got 2 lan ports on your pc,directly connnect it

and be sure your router allows sharing on the network

[supple bane]

hmm actually. ill chech that

[violet plank]

might need the router admin login for that,depending on the model

or your provider

[supple bane]

i can log into the routers settings if thats what you mean

[violet plank]

ye

so your fine there

but i doubt you'll need that

[supple bane]

again. i cant even get the two pc's to recognise each other on file explorer now

[violet plank]

turn on network discovrery

[supple bane]

i have all that turned on yes

[violet plank]

well,read that microsoft link i posted

[supple bane]

i did lol, i have done all those things

let my try with my laptop, see if i can get that working

[violet plank]

hmm

hard to say over discord lol

easiest thing would be to directly connect them

just unplug your internet

if you don't got 2 on your pc

ports

[supple bane]

well that would mean running another ethernet cable around the house lol

[violet plank]

huh?didn't you say laptop?

[supple bane]

no. im trying to do it between mine and my dads pc

[violet plank]

ah

[supple bane]

when i said laptop, i meant i was just testing it on my laptop to see if i can get it to work there

[violet plank]

call ms support,they gonna remote access your pc

and set it up

without seeing it it's really hard

my guess is your dads pc is not on the network

[supple bane]

ooh, i got further

i could see the file, but couldnt open it. "do not have permission"

although i have set it to everyone and password protection is disabled

[violet plank]

just copy it on a usb/external drive ?

[supple bane]

oh. yeah i have been doing that for ages

which is the whole reason im trying to get this to work lol, just so its less of a pain

[violet plank]

want the easy way?let ms support call you back

you might be blocked cause of group policies

could be a lot of things

and hard to say without seeing your stuff

[supple bane]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

it was a granty problem

[violet plank]

or you hack it with a registry key

lol,tell me

[supple bane]

didnt realise you had to click that "add"

i was just clicking share in the bottom

[violet plank]

guest as owner?

[supple bane]

when i was selecting everyone. but then not clicking the add button to add everyone to the share list

so i just selected everyone, then shared it without actually adding everyone if that makes sense

[violet plank]

well yeah,that's networking,always complicated

[supple bane]

last question, how do change name of desktop?

so its not desktop-;sdiugfsd;iugfsgiudugdsfiu;g' ?

[violet plank]

type name in your search field

should be first option and there you can rename it

device name

[supple bane]

Tarr

[latent light]

Next gen Navi Kernel drivers popped up today, it's very close to coming out

[violet plank]

uhhh.this could actually kick some serious nvidia ass

maybe (hopefully) the reason why they push that 300+W

[latent light]

what sucks is that any GPU 30-50% more powerful than a 2080Ti will get bottlenecked hard at 1080p and even 1440p with any current CPU available

RTX 3080Ti will definitely be strictly a 4K card imo

[storm osprey]

maybe at 1080p but 1440p and 4k there shoulnt be much of a bottleneck

[latent light]

we just need CPUs with higher single-core performance than what we have now

10900K can bottleneck a 2080Ti in some CPU heavy games at 1080p

[latent light]

https://adoredtv.com/exclusive-zen-3-to-feature-over-20-higher-integer-performance-than-zen-2-production-in-september/amp/

Zen3 up to 20% faster than Zen2 in single-thread, production in September, so launch will probably be November/December

[storm osprey]

heck yes

[latent light]

December 7th launch is my bet

[storm osprey]

i fucking hope

[latent light]

that's on Pearl Harbor day too

RDNA2 graphics cards will come out before Ryzen 4000

[storm osprey]

im stuck with nvidia

[violet plank]

integer is not relevant for gaming,floating point is

[latent light]

Death Stranding can take advantage of up to 24 CPU threads
wtf kind of scaling is that

[storm osprey]

lol wtf

[latent light]

actually it looks like 32 threads is still providing more performance lmao

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1222645-msi-paying-reviewers-to-remove-their-bad-reviews-of-their-products/

[fallen harbor]

if mid tier gpus consume between 70 and 180 watts and respective cpus consume usually no more than 50 watts why are most psus recommended for gaming above 500w?

i got a 450w 80+ gold evga psu which sends 432 watts to the 12v sector (cpu and gpu) which is already a lot for my pc even though i have an rx590 that doesnt consume little unlike nvidia.

my cpu consumes a max of 50w and my gpu a max of 175 which makes a total of 225w

other gpus such as r9 380 consume 180w and every post i see about it mentions it should be paired with a psu of a minimum of 600w. why?

idgi

i know some psus dont have the exact wattage that they specify in their brand and hence are kinda bullshit, like the thermaltake tr2 600w which actually only sends like 290w into the 12v sector

but that isnt a good reason to just go up in wattage, its just a missinformation

its as bad as saying “just get a more expensive psu”

[violet plank]

security margin so they can't be sued

[supple bane]

cpu's draw more than 50w

my cpu draws 85w when it has a 65w tdp. and overclocked it will draw 110w

[violet plank]

if you see a recommendation you can always go -100W and you'll be still on the save side

and cpu does not equal cpu package power draw

[supple bane]

and the cpu and gpu isnt the only thing that is drawing power. storage, ram, fans, coolers, chipsets, ROM etc

and you got wasted energy when power passes through the VRM's and capacitors

when those things heat up. they are turning some of the electrical energy into thermal energy which is wasted

therefore the powersupply has to provide even more power than what the cpu SAYS its drawing

[violet plank]

and if you got power spikes (which all components have/get) and go on the limit of your psu,it will cause ripples and crash your pc on the worst case

[supple bane]

which i have experienced ^

if i have my cpu and gpu overclocked, my power draw is like 450-500w. on my 550w powersupply, this causes a hard shut down

[fallen harbor]

this doesnt exactly answer my question though, are you gonna tell me the rest of the components consume more than the cpu and gpu combo? (im excluding OC). If this combo makes 225w what do you need a 600w psu for. The drives, chipset, fans etc wont consume over 300w

[violet plank]

amd ryzen 3700x,65W TPD,real package power draw 90W,i don't even start with overclocking

cause your sytem draws way more than 225W

you calculate wrong

[fallen harbor]

how so. The gpu and cpu is what draws 225

[supple bane]

what cpu and gpu is it?

[fallen harbor]

i5 8400 and rx590

[violet plank]

list all your components

[supple bane]

my arse do they draw 225w lmao

[fallen harbor]

one 240gb ssd, 1tb hdd, 2tb hdd. 3 60mm fans

[supple bane]

they draw wayyyy more than that.

[fallen harbor]

the i5 8400 draws a maximum of 49w and the rx590 175w

[violet plank]

ram?

[supple bane]

no. it draws more than that. im certain of it

[fallen harbor]

16gb ram 2666mhz

every single site i checked on is sure of this though

do you have any source

[violet plank]

intel tdp isn'^t 49w

btw

[supple bane]

im listing it out on pc part picker

im not done and its already telling me 400w

[violet plank]

your system power draw is almost 400W

[supple bane]

im getting over that

[violet plank]

ah lol,granty beat me

[supple bane]

i got 424w

[violet plank]

i calculated low

[supple bane]

when you consider what i said above

600w is about right

[violet plank]

yep

it's about efficiency

[supple bane]

A.) powersupplys age, they wont always be able to supply say 600w.
b.) motherboard VRM's and capacitors waste power as they turn it into heat as it passes through them
c.) tdp isnt everything. im guessing PC part picker goes off the listed tdp. and my cpu SAYS its 65w but in reality it draws 85w

[violet plank]

take the 10900k,listed as 125W,can draw 300+W

[supple bane]

my list doesnt account for peripherals either. a keyboard and mouse will draw some power. it will take power to shove a signal down a cable for your monitors etc. this stuff adds up

hence the rule of thumb, take your marketed power draw. then slap 200w ontop of it, and get a powersupply with that rating

[violet plank]

if you're on a budget you can go with a +100

[supple bane]

side note, i downloaded rise of the tomb raider and holy shit. people complain about the fps in bfv lol. with a 2070 im lucky to break 30 fps

[violet plank]

is that the last part?

[supple bane]

second to latest

it launched in 2016 tho

[violet plank]

i got the first 2 of the relaunch,still missing the last,waiting for a good discount cause reviews say it sucks a bit

but those 2 don't get me down to such low fps

[supple bane]

you play at 1080p tho right?

[violet plank]

1440

[supple bane]

ah

[molten coral]

480p masterrace

[supple bane]

1440p, completely maxed settings, i average 25 fps i think

[violet plank]

says the nacho that dose not like nachos

wtf,why that low

[supple bane]

idk lol

[violet plank]

let me check if i got that on steam

[molten coral]

Weird it shouldn't be that low I thinj

[violet plank]

super weird

ye,i got it sec

[violet plank]

finished it some times ago

[supple bane]

make sure u are using all dem

i guess run the in game bench mark and see what you get

[violet plank]

gotta check the settings sec

[violet plank]

got vsync on double buffered

lmao nacho

[supple bane]

its certainly using my hardware lol

100% gpu core and all 8gb of vram

[violet plank]

pure hair sucks and draws fps like hell

but i'm gonna run it sec

[violet plank]

wow,that game draws some serious cpu

[supple bane]

really?

[violet plank]

somethings wrong with your setup,sec

[supple bane]

i dont have that on my overlay actually

[violet plank]

up to 50% cpu,bfv does not go over 30%

[supple bane]

bfv takes my cpu to 80-90

[supple bane]

hmmmmmmmmm

double check you have EVERY graphics setting the same as mine

[violet plank]

i got fps to 144 and vsync double buffered,rest are your settings

[supple bane]

da fuq

[violet plank]

re checking

[supple bane]

i cant change mine to 144 which is annoying

not that it would make a difference atm lol. but still

i have dx 12 disabled? should i try with it on?

[violet plank]

sec,i got anti aliasing wrong

that could drop the fps hard

re running bench

dropped hard lol

[supple bane]

what did you have AA on before ?

[supple bane]

i want to try dx 12 first actually.

[violet plank]

still way better than yours tho

fsaa i think on the first run

[supple bane]

I'm trying with dx 12, one momento

[violet plank]

i never use dx12

try it with fsaa

you'll get a huge fps increase

[supple bane]

Pogggggg

[violet plank]

lol

[supple bane]

Its pinning my CPU to 100% too

[violet plank]

go dx11 fsaa

[supple bane]

Yeah one sec

that was dx 12

[violet plank]

ah

[supple bane]

got a slight improvement i think

[violet plank]

was about to say lol

hardly

you should get around 100fps

with your system

fxaa it was

[supple bane]

I dropped aa to fxaa and it hasnt done diddle squat

[violet plank]

use the preset very high ?

[supple bane]

Maybe I should do dx11 with fxaa

I'm still using dx 12

[violet plank]

lol

yeah go dx11

and use the preset very high

with fxaa

and vsync double buffered

[violet plank]

there you go

i didn't see any difference to higher anti aliasing

graphically

[supple bane]

im still miles behind you

[violet plank]

and i didn't like the hair job,so i turned that off too,just had it on for the bench now

[supple bane]

i wouldnt have thought a 2070 is like 40fps behind a 1080ti

[violet plank]

maybe the high cpu usage

and the 1080ti still has a higher interface bandwith

[supple bane]

that also went down when i changed the settings

[violet plank]

hmm ok

then the bandwith

1080ti still is a beast

flex

[supple bane]

no doubt

[violet plank]

but i still need to upgrade

need a new monitor

[supple bane]

arent you already 1440p 144hz?

[violet plank]

and that one has a higher resolution

yeah

[supple bane]

what more can you want lol?

other than ultra wide

[violet plank]

the one i want will have 3440x1600

bigger screen

[supple bane]

right

i dont have the desk real estate for an ultra wide

[violet plank]

but it's not available atm,pretty new one

[supple bane]

and im kinda bound to this desk for the time being lol, since yanno. my pc is inside it

[violet plank]

yeah lol

mine is already a few years old,it's starting to bleed light on the top,sucks

[supple bane]

what do you mean by that?

[violet plank]

on a full black screen you see some light on the top part of the screen,bleeding trough the upper edge

[supple bane]

oohh hahahah

[violet plank]

ips problems

[supple bane]

i thought you meant the desk lmao

[violet plank]

well and old age

nah lol

waiting for this baby

https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=88PfzXcK9Q0

[supple bane]

you are deffo gonna need a gpu upgrade for that tho lol

[violet plank]

yeah lol

[supple bane]

3080 here you come

[violet plank]

hoping for big navi actually since it's a freesync monitor

well it's gsync compatible tho

gonna get whatever is better

atm i'm bound to nvidia which sucks

at least no fucking FAN in the monitor,hate this shit

[supple bane]

i have never used free/g sync so i dont suffer from that addiction lol

[violet plank]

it's pretty nice actually,once you go with it you won't wanna miss it

[supple bane]

i still dont understand how it can fix an already seamless experience tbh

[violet plank]

it's calling for you,can't you hear it?get it!

[supple bane]

jog on lol

i brought a new monitor only 6 months ago

like take bfv. i dont stutter, my fps is fine. my screen doesnt tear. so how will g sync help?

[violet plank]

same goes for ips,once ips,you can't go back

in this case it won't

this fall will be expensive,new phone/cpu/gpu/monitor (and ps5 maybe)

[lofty light]

I'm reaching the point where I don't feel the need to upgrade my pc parts now thankfully

[opaque saddle]

oof

[storm osprey]

i gotta upgrade

its just the waiting game for me

[latent light]

https://www.techpowerup.com/269957/the-curious-case-of-the-12-pin-power-connector-its-real-and-coming-with-nvidia-ampere-gpus

[storm osprey]

hmmm what does this mean?!

[latent light]

new PSU required

or maybe they will have an adapter

RTX 3000 is already a disappointment in itself, it's based on the Samsung 8nm node, which is just refined 10nm, which is refined 12nm

[storm osprey]

i cant imagine a new psu

especially if you have a semi(modular) psu

might be a cable purchase

[latent light]

that 12-pin can handle up to 600 watts

RTX 3000 is gonna be power hungry

[storm osprey]

so why require that for a 350w gpu?

[latent light]

a 350w TDP Nvidia GPU is gonna consume more than 350 watts

it will probably peak in the 400-450 watt mark

and the rest is overclock headroom

[storm osprey]

hmmm

good thing i got an 850w psu xD

[latent light]

also, you can't use two 6-pin connectors, the connector shapes aren't in the same order

it's a whole new type of cable

[storm osprey]

welp, good thing i got a modular psu

[fallen harbor]

is it possible to fix a case fan that spins very slowly?

[storm osprey]

depends on the reason why its spinning slowly

[lofty light]

Why would they make a new connector when they could just make 2-six pins or even like the 3-eight pins that the super high end cards have for 2000 series

[fallen harbor]

depends on the reason why its spinning slowly
@storm osprey is there any way to know?

[storm osprey]

yea its just gonna take some time

is it a PWM fan connected to mb/controller that determines the fan speed?

do you have a resistor?

how is it connected?

[fallen harbor]

its an average 4 pin molex connector

dunno what a resistor is

[violet plank]

bleh,my worst fears seem to come true,hope big navi fixes this

[latent light]

@lofty light there will probably be an adapter included with the cards, although it seems that the 12-pin has a higher demand than dual 8-pin connectors so you're gonna need a PSU with 3 EPS connection

[violet plank]

if nvidia would only release a high end model without that rtx shit

[storm osprey]

well a molex connector is just static power iirc, so if youre fan is spinning slower than normal theres something likely wrong with the fan itself

[latent light]

imo, Nvidia is being anti-consumer

[violet plank]

nvidia is doing the intel lol

still hope they really fear big navi and that's the reason for that 3k shit

those tensor cores fuck everything up

[latent light]

The reason RTX 3000 is so power hungry: it's based on Samsung's 8nm node, which is just a refined 10nm, and furthermore a refined 12nm. TSMC is supplying all 7nm chips to Apple and AMD and there's not enough for Nvidia.

[violet plank]

lmao

good thing amd got more capacity at tsmc since huawei has been kicked

hope they deliver

[fallen harbor]

@storm osprey is it worth it giving it a try and opening it and checking if theres something fixable or should i just get a new one?

[storm osprey]

opening up a fan? ive never thought of doing that...

even if you could i cant imagine you can assemble it back together properly for it to not cause wobble and be loud AF

[fallen harbor]

kk

[lofty light]

Depends on the kind of fan too

You've got cheap brushes, more expensive bearings and even more expensive maglevs

[violet plank]

just get a noctua,they will outlive you lol

yea

i mean, ill still get it, but shit its ugly

[fallen harbor]

Anybody has any idea what this could be? I found it in my old stuff https://i.imgur.com/wSEHsgt.png

oh nvm it's a hdd holder stuff

i think

whats the name of those fans that come with some little things to be grabbed onto a heatsink?

like this one

https://www.profesionalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/La-importancia-de-escoger-un-buen-disipador-2.jpg

are they sold separately?

[latent light]

"In addition to PSU manufacturers launching new generations of products with 12-pin connectors, most prominent manufacturers are expected to release aftermarket modular cables that can plug in to their existing PSUs. Graphics card vendors will include ketchup-and-mustard adapters that convert 2x 8-pin to 1x 12-pin"

[storm osprey]

well ill have ketchup and mustard cables for a bit

[violet plank]

ew

fuck you nvidia

not gonna buy new braided cables

regular fans @fallen harbor the clamps can be bought from some company's,i know noctua and bequiet sell them,others no idea

[fallen harbor]

oic

tyvm

i found two spare clamps today but i broke one while trying to put a fan in

: (

it was too delicate

[violet plank]

ouch

see what brand the cooler is and check the website i guess

[fallen harbor]

i think my mistake was that i put one screw too tightly

[violet plank]

yeah,ppl usually use way too much force to tighten screws

[fallen harbor]

but then again the fan i was trying to use for it is kinda dead anyway

spins as 80 year old fans would spin if they were biological beings with a human lifespan

and for some reason fans cost a fuckin fortune right now where i live wtf

he covered the logos of the brands at the start tho which i thought was cute

[wet notch]

they made a character for him in Total war warhammer 2 cuz he plays the game

yeah

[supple bane]

i mean he missed some stuff i could still at least work out it was a 2080ti and a 3900x

[wet notch]

i guess he just don't want to make it look like he was sponsored or anything

[supple bane]

i guess, what a sick world we live in

does it stream or anything pog ?

[wet notch]

2080ti is pretty good right?

[storm osprey]

2080ti is the best gaming gpu for the price right now

msrp is like 1100 usd

the next best gpu is 800

[lofty light]

2080 super is basically the 2080 anyway

[storm osprey]

2080 super are cheaper than 2080s right now according to pcpartpicker

regular 2080s are probably out of stock and just marked up from that

[red birch]

Hi. I want to config freestyle nvidia. It worked for me, but now is not. Why? Nvidia blocked this feature for bf4?

[quaint topaz]

@storm osprey yes, the 2080s are running short since they were replaced with the Supers

Basically getting a 2080 right now is pointless unless you score a pretty good price, which is unlikely.

[strong breach]

all this time

i thought 2080s and super

were the same thing

[lofty light]

Plus they're using the 2080 chips to cut them down and make 2060 KOs

[quaint topaz]

lol nope

the Super replaced the regular 2080

[strong breach]

i just thought people were lazy for typing super

so they just shortened it to s

[quaint topaz]

oh lmaoo

2080s, plural

[strong breach]

right!

so im not dumb!

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-retardant-funny-gif-15855495

[fallen harbor]

how come cavil’s pc has a 2080ti insted of a 2080super. I thought they stopped producing ti’s?

[quaint topaz]

Ti's are still in production

[supple bane]

2080ti's are still available yes

[quaint topaz]

All 20 series cards below the 2080 Ti have been replaced with Supers

[fallen harbor]

oh so its just 2080ti now? is the 2080 the only one with three versions?

[supple bane]

yes

[fallen harbor]

ic

[supple bane]

well arguably the 2060 too. with the 2060, super and KO

[fallen harbor]

never heard of KO

whats that about?

[supple bane]

its something EVGA make

slightly faster than a normal 2060, slower than a 2060 super

[fallen harbor]

oic

[quaint topaz]

I think EVGA uses the same boards the founders edition ones do

at least for the regular ones, not sure about the KO

since both the founders and EVGA cards use the same software which is probably the best GPU software ive ever used

EVGA precision X

[silk echo]

lads

i need some opinions

should i get a VR or should i upgrade my PC

by PC i mean stuff like GPU, case, fans, ram

[molten coral]

What do you have now?

[silk echo]

1070

[molten coral]

cpu?

[silk echo]

2600X

[supple bane]

Yeah get vr

Get vr now then upgrade the pc when 3000 series nvidia launches

[silk echo]

thats the thing, im counting on series 3000 to drop gpu prices a bit

my "salary" is around barely 300$

[supple bane]

I too shall be getting a vr headset later this year too so that's pretty poggers

Probably gonna be a rift s

[molten coral]

I need more space for VR

[silk echo]

i dont need much space when ill be rocking beat saber all day

[supple bane]

I've got most of a 3x4m room so I have plenty of space

[fallen harbor]

only thing id get a vt set for is vr chat

[supple bane]

There is a desk running around one half of the room, the rest is empty

[molten coral]

I've a small room so big f

[silk echo]

so yall saying vr > pc upgrade?

[supple bane]

I'd say so yeah

[molten coral]

I mean if you are still happy with the 1070 yeah.

[supple bane]

Upgrading now is silly, considering there is alot of big launches on the horizon

My friend was playing vr on a 970, so you are good in that manor

[silk echo]

see im good with it now

but big games are launching soon

and playing on a 2K screen isnt helping my FPS either

[fallen harbor]

its not like you need to upgrade in order to run vr games

[silk echo]

tru

[fallen harbor]

oh

[silk echo]

i just wanna upgrade now to be future proof

or w.e the fuck its called

[fallen harbor]

no it makes sense but idk

its a matter of preference

i never go beyond 1080p and 60hz so if i had a 1070 id still be pretty well

where are you from btw

[silk echo]

Israel, why?

[fallen harbor]

would you be interested in selling your 1070 overseas if you ever think of upgrading?

gpus here cost a fortune so

[silk echo]

u from south america?

[fallen harbor]

yes

[silk echo]

shipping would prob cost more than the GPU itself, but i can def. look into it

[fallen harbor]

hmm youre right

i guess

idk how much the shipping would be but it wouldnt surprise me if it was too high since we are very far from eachother

this kills the ando

if you can

@silk echo

[fallen harbor]

is it normal to

uh

feel uncomfortable about having only two slots of ram being used even thouhg i have enough for today's standards?

because if I ever want to upgrade to 32gb in like 6 years I wont find the same modules I have right now

[supple bane]

you mean using 2 out of 4 slots on the motherboard?

[fallen harbor]

yes

i have 2x8

which is fine

but it pains me looking at empty slots

lmao

help me

itd be beautiful to see the 4 pretty modules all together

[supple bane]

consumer hardware sees no performance improvment for 4 sticks of ram

so its looks pretty yes, but its not "better"

[fallen harbor]

i know i know

itd be better only the day games require like 25gb ram

but by the day that happens itll be a looong time

i am assuming

[storm osprey]

im not the only one

[final garnet]

why is it that gpus are these super big chonks while cpus are just smol chips

[fallen harbor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent light]

"The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association said in a report issued Tuesday the new DDR5 memory specifications will provide developers with twice the performance and lower power consumption. Among the key improvements will be a quadrupling of maximum die density, up to 64 gigabytes from 16 gigabytes under the old standard. Each DIMM can handle two 32-bit memory channels instead of only a single 64-bit channel. Since each bank operates independently of each other, the burst length can be doubled and greater efficiency can be achieved. That means, for instance, DDR5 SDRAM can perform two 64-byte operations in the same time it takes DDR4 SDRAM to perform just one operation."

So dual channel memory is possible on just one stick of DDR5 RAM

Is it normal for BFV to crash to desktop with no error?

[warped topaz]

Yeah it’s common, bfv just crashes whenever it wants with no explanation lol that’s why I play bf1 a superb game 😂

[somber tendon]

@warped topaz you had one recently?

[warped topaz]

Yeah I was playing on my brother’s PC and bfv just crashed for no apparent reason

[latent light]

the technical problems of BFV are worse than any other game in the franchise

BF4 did have severe crashing issues on PC when it came out, but it all got fixed in a few months

[pearl ingot]

Hi tech page

[latent light]

BFV will be 2 years old in October, still lots of optimization and stability issues

[warped topaz]

Exactly hopefully they will fix those issues soon

[molten coral]

[violet plank]

no tech

[cold cave]

[digital hill]

I never thought a game can be so broken and unfinished but still has players playing it

[glossy plinth]

Im only playing it for the graphics lol

[summer comet]

graphics? How are the graphics any better than BF4/1?

[verbal token]

Bf4? Bfv has a big difference in graphics imo

Bf1 and bfv is another tall

Talk

[glossy plinth]

BFV graphics are far more superior than 4

its like comparing 1080p and 720p

[fallen harbor]

dunno how you directly compare graphics to resolution but ye

[glossy plinth]

lmao

[fallen harbor]

what would yall recommend for a pc that will still be able to run modern games in 60fps and 1080 in 6 years?

doesnt matter if low graphic settings are required in the future

what's the budgiest motherboard for the i5 10400?¿

[quaint topaz]

@fallen harbor Prices differ from one play to another, look for a LGA 1200 motherboard

[fallen harbor]

im looking for the cheapest one as long as it's not garbage

not planning to overclock

nor sli

just for i5 10400, or maybe 10600 (not sure which is more worth it yet) paired with a 2060 super

[quaint topaz]

Best budget motherboard I can think of is the Asus prime.

[fallen harbor]

asus prime h410m?

there seems to be a big price gap between i5 10400 and 10600

is the 10600 worth that difference?

id pick ryzen but my friend wants intel exclusively

[quaint topaz]

How much is it

[fallen harbor]

idk

forgot

saw it in a site

idk how much he can get it for though

i only saw the original prices

im watching videos and all three 10400 10500 and 10600 seem to perform almost the same

at least in today games

literally 2 additional frames from the worst to the best

[quaint topaz]

The H410 is pretty basic and budget friendly. Don't expect good clock speeds on it if you plan on OCing.

it'll do the job for light gaming

[fallen harbor]

no OC expected

hes not interested at all in it

only something that can hold the stuff together well enough

wants to game on 60hz and 1080p for at least 6 years

doesnt matter if low graphics in 6 years

wants intel and nvidia exclusively

so i was thinking some 10th gen i5 and 2060 super

[quaint topaz]

Then I personally recommend saving up for a slightly more powerful build for better future-proofing. Games today require at least an i5-6600K to run properly

[fallen harbor]

what would you suggest?

[quaint topaz]

what's the budget?

[fallen harbor]

1500usd but prices in his country are elevated

so thatd be hard

the 2060 super is 590 usd

at least in one site

[quaint topaz]

Could save up just a little and go for something like an i7-6700, if thats not an option then go for the i5 10 series

but i dont think you'll last 6 years without needing an upgrade, but i could be wrong

Some AMD CPUs are cheaper and perform on par and even better in some cases than intel, you should look into that as well

[fallen harbor]

i know but he wants intel only

specifically

he's always had that and thats what he feels comfortable with and doesnt want to think about anything

[fallen harbor]

what PSU would you recommend for a i5-9700 and 2070super?

[supple bane]

600w

[fallen harbor]

what brand tho

and which certification

[storm osprey]

shopping by brand is normally bad, especially when most brands dont even manufacture their own components

in the case of PSUs theres maybe 4 major manufacturers out there

personally, the only general "brand" i would promote is seasonic, but even then they have some bad PSUS

but they do make their own psus, most of their psus are at least good, and most of the OTHER brands "good" psus are provided by seasonic

[violet plank]

laughs in seasonic prime titanium

[supple bane]

laughs in shitty corsair powersupply but i cant really change it as it will mean glueing brackets to a new powersupply so it will work with my desk

So much for warranty

[molten coral]

I've a corsair rm750x is pretty good so far

[violet plank]

btw i'm seriously starting to doubt that nvidia 12pin power connector,only 1 source,no reaction from any psu supplier.That and it still makes no real sense to me as with 2x 8 pin and pice bus you can draw 375W

is it normal for an i5 8400 to be 40c on idle with an hyper 212 with two fans attached to it? 🤔

room temperature is around 20

[rugged dome]

It is a bit on hotter side, even tho nothing to worry about. But you can also try to remount the cooler and repaste thermal paste.

[sand phoenix]

henlo does anyone remember that bug a few months ago where origin would take the focus away from games and what tf the fix was

swear it was to delete some licenses folder or something but i cant find whatever it is

[summer comet]

@fallen harbor where did you see a 2060 Super for almost $600 USD? I see it for $250-$300 anywhere I look.... (I know I'm late but deal with it ) I see 2070 Supers go for around $450 - $550 USD

[supple bane]

[latent light]

Oof

[prime jasper]

Damn

Im bout to get a new pc only issue is that itll take a month for it to arrive from the US to here bc we’re putting all the parts in a shipping container

[ashen ether]

Hello everyone. I originally planned on getting a gaming laptop for school since I was supposed to go to college this school year. But then, corona happened and I am skipping school this year.

At first, I was eyeying the Acer Nitro 5 2020 (R5 4600+1650ti). But I realized I am not going anywhere now since I stayed at home for the past 4 months.

Mom told me that I should get a pc instead. Now the problem is I will still go to college next year.

Help me decide whether I should still get the Acer Nitro 5 2020 or a desktop. Thanks in adavance

[supple bane]

Well specs wise, compared to a desktop, that laptop sucks. you will get at least double the fps by going with a desktop for the same price point

but obviously. you cant take a desktop to school

so i guess decide how important taking the device to school is for you

[prime jasper]

if you buy a PC with all that in the air then you have to accept that at some point you will be away from it for a while, but yes a better computer no doubt

also no matter how advanced a laptop claims to be, a few years in it will start to degrade more than the equivalent PC

[ashen ether]

Also, I can't pay for these in cash. A local laptop store in here offers 0% installment. There is also a pc shop here that offers build your own and pay for installment but pc parts are scarce because of corona. I'll be deciding on what the shops will offer

[prime jasper]

after so many years I have a small pile of dead laptops

most died from a critical system failure

[ashen ether]

@prime jasper what do you mean critical system failure?

[prime jasper]

GPU/screen/powersupply failure

[ashen ether]

I'm just hoping if I ever get a laptop it will last more than 4 years lol

[prime jasper]

very hard to get parts

[ashen ether]

My friend's laptop is 2 years old. It's still doing well

[prime jasper]

the one I am using for my load splitting is a moderately good 2013 model

only problem is its battery dies after 10 minutes unplugged

good cpu/gpu combo for its age tho

can run BF3

but that is always a common thread with all laptops, over time the battery steadily degrades and holds fewer hours of full power use

when it was new it could go 3.5 hours without being plugged in at 90% power

[quaint topaz]

if PC is so great

where's PC 2?

[molten bramble]

but obviously. you cant take a desktop to school
@supple bane I mean, it is possible, but requires rack-mounting it in a shock-mounted SKB or Pelican case. 😄

[supple bane]

ok, you reasonably cant take a desktop to school

[digital hill]

@supple bane Oh so I can't put my computer and monitor on a wagon with my mouse and keyboard at the side to take my pc to school

So thats not possible

[storm osprey]

edge is supposed to be pretty good now

though i think every time they do something with edge "its supposed to be good now"

[supple bane]

the only reason i use opera gx is the built in ad block and vpn tbh

and the pop out videos and customisation i guess, but mainly the things above

[molten coral]

Tbh I kinda like the new edge

[digital hill]

Free vpn is not open source but data is used to make it free

[molten bramble]

@supple bane It's not a VPN, it's a proxy. They've misled the public on that and it's drawn criticism from the IS community.

Opera GX's hard resource limiter is why I used it for background streams on the big screen above since it doesn't impede degrade performance of the machine.

i think it was rtx voice... i just installed it, realised the issue came back right as it finished installing. uninstalled it and poof, it was gone

i swore by rtx voice, i recommended it to everyone with an rtx card. how could it betray me like that

[violet plank]

remove the clamps holding it down

rtx voice is a thing?

don't think i know anyone using it

[supple bane]

I know loads of people using it

It's an amazing tool, for most people

[violet plank]

never cared about it so far,what's it good for? or better than other voice progs

[supple bane]

Well it's about the same or slightly better than Krisp. It cuts out all back ground audio and there is no quality degredation

The advantage is that its free

Krisp and most other software there is a monthly fee

[violet plank]

hmm nice

[supple bane]

Despite it being called rtx voice, and everywhere saying it requires rtx cards. It can work on anything with some tinkering

My friend has it working on a 1050ti

[violet plank]

amd cards as well ?

[supple bane]

I imagine so

The biggest downside is there is a slight performance hit

As it runs ai on the gpu to cut out audio, you lose about 5 fps

[violet plank]

that sucks a little bit

prefer it on the cpu as there are free resources when i play

[supple bane]

I honestly cant wait to get my br headset now, I want christmas to come already

Still got 5 months to go

[quaint topaz]

Need to take better care of this gonk droid

[violet plank]

cleaning time

[supple bane]

Yeah disadvantage of having a custom case, I have no filters

It's one dusty boi

[violet plank]

make some custom filters

I'm not very satisfied with my NZXT S340 Elite

I'm definitely going for a Lian Li case for my next build.

There's very little room for cable management in the back. The back cover is literally bulging and stressing the screws holding it in place ...

[supple bane]

that was the same for my case i had before my desk pc, the corsair carbide 275r

i could barely squeeze the back on once it was built up

now tbf, my cable management skills are shoddy on a good day. and im very lazy so that doesnt help

[quaint topaz]

I spent a good hour making sure everything's clean and snug and it still bulges

Could be the braided cable extensions but it's still bad

[gray wyvern]

Really? I always was into the look of NZXT but maybe I should reconsider. Lian Li is looking pretty nice tho

[storm osprey]

NZXT are decent, but theres better for the price

personally i suggest getting phantkets p400a at a base point, then meshify c if you can drop a few more bucks

[latent light]

Phanteks seems to have the best value in terms of airflow

[storm osprey]

yea p400a is solid all around for the price

yea 80 bucks, pretty damn good

disagree, i5-7600K was a worse purchase

[digital hill]

I have the same issue with my fractual design focus g

I have to hammer my leg to make sure the screws are holding it in

It works but my cable management is the best I could do without cable ties

or the quote from the verge "tweezers"

[storm osprey]

how dare you bring up the verge

[supple bane]

The cable management of my desk pc is horrifying. but it doesnt really matter as i have like a foot of space and no one can see it

Das one chonky stream deck

Or is it a drum pad?

[quaint topaz]

Novation launchpad

I don't see it for it's intended purpose lol

Remapped each button for a different key binding

[digital hill]

Also question about that cable management how the fuck is not falling off

[storm osprey]

iphone se > nord

[molten coral]

[supple bane]

@digital hill there are these pad things holding it up

[digital hill]

Ah

[supple bane]

I'll circle one

[digital hill]

Ah thanks

[storm osprey]

those cables hurt

[supple bane]

Honestly, I did this on day 4. I couldn't be arsed at this point

To build something pretty

I just bundled them all up and stuck them to the desk

Honestly the way that board which all the parts are on is suspended is the scariest part

[digital hill]

That painful cable management is true

[supple bane]

6 L brackets hold that up, which is fine until u realise how hollow and flimsy the IKEA desks area. Those 6 brackets are screwed into basically nothing

[digital hill]

But I can say its great as its hard to even get some decent cable management from under the desk

If I can spell shit

[violet plank]

who needs a desk build when you can have a wall build
