For your schiit stack don’t forget to get rca cables. I’d try to get under 6 inches
supple bane
wrong server?
storm osprey
There’s also a hard connect bridge that’s cool but expensive
supple bane
wtf are you onna bout lol
storm osprey
Forgot to @molten coral
supple bane
oh right
storm osprey
Yea it’s pretty nice. Sticks out a bit. But For me it’s 2x the cost of most 6 inch cables.
storm osprey
I almost got a hel
And thankfully schiit is one state over. It’s like a 6 hour drive
molten coral
I ordered it from the US site, shipping cost is 55 USD to the Netherlands.
storm osprey
Oof. I would have probably got something different at that point.
molten coral
It doesn't really matter because on the european site the magni 3+ is 135 euro and the mode 3 is 135 as well so that would be 270 euro.
storm osprey
Topping stuff is usually around the same price but objectively better. And for you it should have been cheaper.
molten coral
Now I ordered it from the US for 255 USD including shipping which will be around 225 euro.
So basically saved myself 50 euro
No clue if I'll have to pay import duty though

@storm osprey I bought it

It will look super clean

interesting
TSMC claiming 5nm is 15% faster than 7nm while drawing 30% less power and 80% more density
4nm is gonna be extension of 5nm (like how 12nm is an extension of 14nm)
3nm to be at least 10% faster and draw 25% less power than 5nm
bold kelp
I like the 15% better power
latent light
when AMD receives these chips from TSMC they're gonna prioritize speed over power draw
bold kelp
yeah TSMC chips prioritize power.
Do you like 5nm better then 7nm?
I prefer 5nm
AMD with TSMC chip's are good for fast action game's.
I don't really recommend touch screen laptop's for gamer's it might seem good first but it's crap.
molten coral
wow 
storm osprey
What do you expect when current 2080ti are 1k msrp? Assuming 3090 is a step above.
molten coral
I didn't expect anything else from it although i'm curious what the price of the 3070 is going to be.
latent light
there's a rumor that 3070 will come close to 2080Ti performance
and 3060 better than 2080Ti in ray tracing
fallen harbor
does ti stand for something or has it always been a random combination of letters
latent light
Titanium
opaque saddle
The next GEN Nvidia cards are usually be 25-30% stronger than the previous generation
latent light
GTX 1000 was 60% faster than GTX 900
opaque saddle
I will be really surprised if the 3060 works better than 2080ti for RT performance
RT cores performance
Maybe not even the first 3070 (1st year editor) as well, maybe the year two editions will be
fallen harbor
GTX 1000 was 60% faster than GTX 900
wasn't this an unusual step though
opaque saddle
Hmm the 960 performs somewhere between 1050 and 1050ti
Unless he’s referring to the top of the range GPU
storm osprey
I’m so stoked

anybody here hyped for demon's souls by any chance?

I want to buy the 3070

1300 - 3090
Supposed but not confirmed
violet plank
wasn't this an unusual step though
@fallen harbor yes it was
glossy plinth
what do you think is a good enough cpu, planning to buy the 3080
opaque saddle
10th gen desktop unlocked i7 or next gen ryzen 7
opaque saddle
well think about this, 3600 is godo to pair with 2070 already
violet plank
uh no intel cpu,the 10th gen has no pcie 4.0
opaque saddle
3700 will gives better fps
violet plank
and ampere has pcie4.0
opaque saddle
well i dont have much expectations from intel
violet plank
opaque saddle
have you seen their 5 cores processor?
violet plank
lol
opaque saddle
it was meant to designed to save power. but it's in a bizarre position
violet plank
and still on pcie 3
opaque saddle
like it isnt powerful enough, but not as power hungry
violet plank
could be
opaque saddle
i think it is with passive
opaque saddle
Intel Core processors with intel hybrid technology
tbh i dont see the point getting these to the market
violet plank
not for embedded market,so wtf is this good for
opaque saddle
if they wanted to release a device designed with longevity on thin and light device
then i guess its one of their attempt...
violet plank
maybe just another product for distraction
violet plank
*Confirming: RTX 3070 ~= RTX 2080 Ti.
You all can do the math on how much stronger the 3080 & 3060 are relative to this based on the previous gen 😉.
And don't worry gamers, fun things ahead for multiple tiers of shoppers before Halloween...

if that's true it would be huge
glad my 1000w psu arrived today 
opaque saddle
i got 2070s i guess i can use it without upgrades for 5 years
violet plank
needed an 850w,but was the same price as the 1000w
still fine with my 1080ti
that card keeps on rocking hard
opaque saddle
yeah
violet plank
just without rtx
opaque saddle
who uses it anyway
violet plank
yep
opaque saddle
like i tried not to get the first gen tech
like first gen ps4 or xbox
when it becomes popular then price will go down
violet plank
i do hope so
opaque saddle
and i dont need to deal with product faults
violet plank
right,like the first batch of 2080ti
opaque saddle
or vega vii
violet plank
like 80% of them was rma
opaque saddle
yeah i know
violet plank
bleh,amd and their drivers
hope they get it right with big navi
or at least better
violet plank
not bad
opaque saddle
yeah coz amd is the only company that keeps the price down
when amd wasn't trying hard for the period, the nvidia and intel product prices went sky rocket high
supple bane
They both have their advantages and disadvantages
Linus has his reasons for using intel In alot of his products
violet plank
he get's payed for it
supple bane
opaque saddle
Linus hates Apple as well
supple bane
i too hate apple
opaque saddle
To be honest he should have no bias toward products coz he’s a tech YouTuber
opaque saddle
I meant if I’m a tech youtuber then if some products shows up really well then it’s good for everyone
Hmm I did check out one of his video about the 5k iMac, claimed it’s cheaper to get a Mac then a desktop
Bruh he was using a quote from 4K display to make comparisons with a 5k display
supple bane
apple make good, strong stuff. its well built and very pretty. but its just too expensive. all of it is
there computers i mean
mac pro etc
opaque saddle
Still I still thinks any new product gives opportunities to people
supple bane
6k for an 8 core cpu and rx 580

Tbh I really wished people can make videos with more positive reviews
summer comet
Just ordered the Fractal Design Meshify-C (white) lmao can't wait to get the new case 👌
Thanks for the recommendations!
latent light
so Nvidia's new strategy is raising prices with every generation
remember when the GTX 1070 matched the $700 980Ti and came with 2GB extra VRAM and was only $349
strong breach
lul ye
but like they can pretty much do what they like AMD isn't a real competitor right now
hopefully that'll change
competition is always good for consumer
latent light
$600 for what was $500 last generation, and $350 for the generation before that, we should be comparing prices by GPU class, not performance

1400 hundred dollars for a 1650 super
What a fucking scam
My PC is also around that price and would get around double the fps
violet plank
well i don't know the canadian market,but that looks like a hardcore scam
you can build that for like half the price
and even then it's crap
supple bane
the 1650 super is literally the slowest "new" gpu on the market rn iirc
obviously something from 15 years ago will be slower. but i mean something that is still being produced
and its being priced in the mid-high end range
actually, the 1650 is the slowest, i lied lol
violet plank
8gig ram,4 gig gpu,no ssd at all,that was maybe appropriate like 5-10 years ago

changing the subject from that joke of a system.
why is that LTT video 1080p...
dont they have a 70,000 dollar 8k camera?

did you order from shiit directly @molten coral ?

only if the cooler would be outside the case as well

the 3080 only with 10gig ram

dont worry about it. wait for the enhanced version

haven’t had a return reply from scan for over a week now
slate rivet
rip - think they would add more memory than 500
wild olive
ye whats wrong with that?
prime jasper
do you manage it?
wild olive
no
prime jasper
theres your problem
wanton carbon
how much ram is required for bfv
supple bane
8
prime jasper
8 gb
wanton carbon
so if i only have 8 gb rn
and about 20 percent is bieng used by discord and origin
i dont have enough
supple bane
the performance difference between 8 and 16gb in gaming is small
prime jasper
I have seen it played on less, 8 is fine if you turn off everything else like discord
wanton carbon
i just wanna have my pc took back but NOOO
wanton carbon
my gpu is not working properly either tho
prime jasper
if you dont feel comfortable with doing it yourself there are a few apps like autofixer that can help
wanton carbon
so idk wtf is happening
prime jasper
@wild olive
prime jasper
doesn't matter
I know some tasks and services that will hog all your available system resources if left to themselves
wild olive
and that cause connection issue?
prime jasper
you can have an i9 with 32 gigs ram, 3090 GPU on 1000 mb/sec fiber, if you do a little work in the task manager it can help with many issues
wild olive
they are
sinful mantle
do you have connection problems with other apps or web pages?
supple bane
wait, whats the issue?
sinful mantle
he gets a lost connection to EA servers message all the time
supple bane
location?
sinful mantle
i get that like once every few months..i attribute that to a internet spike
wild olive
europe, netherlands
wild olive
huh
sinful mantle
EA servers run off origin client
wanton carbon
i swear down now bfv is on steam
supple bane
it is
sinful mantle
try Opera GX (the gamers browser...lol)
prime jasper
the reason I say task manager is there is currently very nasty bit of malware going around that causes issues with stacks, it will lag everything on a PC or laptop to the point where the PC becomes unusable .. I have had to deal with it twice in the last month, both were very decent newish laptops
couldn't even stream youtube at 144p
wild olive
then i should notice micro lagg also
sinful mantle
damn
wild olive
i dont experience that
i am playing on Gsync 165hz. Everly little lagg i should notice
wild olive
no, but i did malwarebytes a few week ago
wanton carbon
can u easily get malware in a pc
sinful mantle
everytime you visit a webpage you get cookies.
wanton carbon
they piss me off
sinful mantle
run an anti spyware program..a good one will delete them as soon as you leave the page
but Oxize you should delete origin and re-download it see if that doesnt help you
wild olive
i dont use the browser one. I just the normal origin tool
wild olive
already doing
sinful mantle
right...hope it works out for you
worn prawn
Tbh sounds like a wild strech for fixing one particular issue, but fresh install of windows cleared up multiple similar problems I was facing
wild olive
not gonna do that
sinful mantle
i hear you this is always a viable alternative....good to do at least once a year anyway.
wild olive
ye if you dont really have important stuff on it. I use this one also for work
sinful mantle
cleans out your registry as well
worn prawn
Backing up is easier than what you would expect, if you haven't cleaned a system in a while.
wild olive
i do that weekly
sinful mantle
i place my programs and bookmarks on a thumb drive
violet plank
LMAO,pre listing prices of the 3090 up to 2700$
slate rivet
sinful mantle
$2,700 you gotta be nuts!
violet plank
sinful mantle
not you but anyone crazy enought to shell out that shit for mere bragging rights
slate rivet
sinful mantle
so I want a porsche panamera too
violet plank
I don't aim that high, I'll take a Tesla
violet plank
Nope
violet plank
If I get a 3090 for free if I buy one I'm gonna take it
sinful mantle
zero to 60 in 2.7 seconds
worn prawn
But can it push 144fps on BFV maxxed out 1440p?
violet plank
Nice looking car,ngl
wanton carbon
that car
violet plank
Gotta drive home now lol
sinful mantle
youtube it...itll blow your mind
violet plank
In my shitty hyunfai
sinful mantle
sorry didnt want to bring up cars but if you can afford that 3090 for $2700 you can afford anything
sinful mantle
probably 750 true power?
wanton carbon
WTF
sinful mantle
i mean im guessing
sinful mantle
oh i thought you ment how big a PS you need to power it
wanton carbon
jeeez
sinful mantle
so im saving up for a new machine for BF6 and totally terrified I'm gonna miss the mark
wanton carbon
yeah
i mean i dont know if i will get bf6
i feel like i will have to give it a miss
sinful mantle
my fallback option is a next gen console with mouse/keyboard native support
wanton carbon
i mean now
in my opinion , console is better
but they are restricted , i only think its better as they can run any game
sinful mantle
i have no alternative but to get bf6 ive been playing BF games since the BF1942 demo release
wanton carbon
yeah
sinful mantle
i haven't owned a console since ps1....lol
wanton carbon
my first bf was bf4 and i loved it , i still play bf4 today
sinful mantle
yeah me too I just got out of bf4 game
wanton carbon
bf4 is so easy to run lmao
sinful mantle
yeah my machine is optimised for bf4
but with some custom settings i can run bfv smoothly
i run it atmedium/high
wanton carbon
i have a 1660 super that is underperforming and i can still get 60 fps for max settings 200 percent resolution scale
for bf4
on bf5 i ran medium/high and 2 things on ultra
sinful mantle
im not familiar with 200% res scale...would that be simulated 2x1080p?
sinful mantle
hs a nice ring to it anyway...haha
sinful mantle
i can't run it max
wanton carbon
but some people say it can decrease fps alot
i run it on 115 resolution
i used to get about 70-90 fps when i played but my pc cant run the game anymore for some reason
sinful mantle
thats strange...have you looked into it?
wanton carbon
yeah
sinful mantle
power supply degrading maybe?
sinful mantle
yeah if it isnt "true power" it will degrade
wanton carbon
i contacted the company to send it back and them have a look at it
they havent replied in over a week tho
sinful mantle
see the PS coils are either alumium, copper, or a blend
the aluminum degrads rapidly
wanton carbon
one sec
thats my computer
im not sure what the coils are but i know its a 450 watt
sinful mantle
oh right doesnt say what brand PS but you know 450 watt is probably minimum standards these days...if it is a cheap unit and its degrading theres how you might be losing it some.
if it were a good true power PS you'd be okay
wanton carbon
its a corsair one lmao
sinful mantle
well thats a good brand.
wanton carbon
i know corsair do good ones , but they can do cheapy shitty ones
wanton carbon
i wish i built a pc now tbh
one thing i would never do is buy a cheap power supply lmao
sinful mantle
yes this is true
wanton carbon
i would only get corsair or coolermaster for a psu
sinful mantle
just be sure its rated at true power
thats an indication its coils are 100% copper
sinful mantle
you thought of getting another 8 gigs of ram for that machine?
sinful mantle
i had 8 with this one and got another 8 it improved performace dramatically
wanton carbon
a friend who helps me with my tech problems said there is no need
but i dont know if i should just get 16gb
sinful mantle
i allocate 12 gigs for my games and 4 for windows and apps like music and discord while in game
wanton carbon
yeah
i like to watch vids if im playing a driving game or something lamo
but i can fo that with the game i play as its only 4gb required
sinful mantle
you have two 4 gigs so its in duel mode so that helps but another 8 would be super nice
wanton carbon
but im not sure if not enough ram is some of my gpu problem
sinful mantle
if your happy then thats a good thing
its all a ballance between CPU,GPU and to a degree your Ram
sinful mantle
it could be if extreme
wanton carbon
when im playing games like minecraft i get about 40 degrees but when i played bf4 it would be about 60-70
sinful mantle
do you have any way of checking the temps while in game?
sinful mantle
70 is the ceiling you good at 70 and 40 is normal for gaming
mine goes down to the teens when idle like 14-17
but i have a water cooled CPU
wanton carbon
when im not playing a game i go about 30 , but rn im at 35 but i have blizzard for cod download open , discord , microsoft edge and msi afterburner
gpu ^
wanton carbon
is tech temps differnet to irl temps , if i put my hand on my gpu when its on 30 its COLD
sinful mantle
90 and itll shut down...hopefully...haha
wanton carbon
like rn my fan speed is on 60 and im on 30
is that good for 60 percent fan speed on a gpu
sinful mantle
i suppose so every system is different
sinful mantle
both rear fans?
wanton carbon
one is an exhasut and the other is for my cpu cooler
one is on the front one is at the back
sinful mantle
the biggest and greatest should be rear pulling hot air out
sinful mantle
like slower speed foreward and faster in the rear
wanton carbon
i dont know how to control the speed of my front cpu cooler fan
sinful mantle
man i used to leave my side off and blow a desk fan in
not this machine but an older form factor
sinful mantle
its a nice machine ice
i can remember asking you to reseat your ram about a month ago
wanton carbon
yeah
sinful mantle
and you had a shit fit...lol
sinful mantle
but believe it or not this works for 70% of random errant problems
i recently had random blue screen incidents...i reseated my ram and grphics card as well as jump my bios...and the problems went away
dunno which worked but didnt feel like being systematic
wanton carbon
i mean , the problem im having could just be one thing making eveything bad
i really dont know
sinful mantle
right like ram
this is why i was telling you that
i know a lot of novice users are afraid to mess with the components but they are a lot more durable than you think
sinful mantle
well you're a PC gamer now...you gotta learn to get your hands dirty
wanton carbon
i was worried i was gonna break my computer when i tried to plug in a sata cable for a extra hardrive
sinful mantle
yeah i remember that feeling
wanton carbon
i mean in a few months time i could be a neek for tech lmao
because i know i have learnt alot of things i didnt know before i had a pc
sinful mantle
yeah you could...you learn alot from hanging around as well
dude I gotta crash. Its 7:30...been good talking to you though
ill catch you around
slate rivet
dis ok?
fallen harbor
sounds good but id recommend to add a 2tb hdd drive to it
slate rivet
adding storage is fine 🙂 i can do that
fallen harbor
512gb ssd is good but youll run out of space for games
slate rivet
thanks man
slate rivet
they don't ship to UK will have to talk with work office in states to get it for me and ship it
fallen harbor
why dont you buy the pc in the uk?
slate rivet
they don't have the option 🙂
fallen harbor
i am sure there must be multiple uk sites for this
slate rivet
i work in IT i should know this
fallen harbor
the 1660super you chose before is considerably better
slate rivet
oh really?
fallen harbor
would also recommend at least 2tb of hdd storage. The size of the ssd depends on how much you want to use it for. If you only want it for windows to go fast, then 250gb is good. If you want it for one or two games to load fast youll need more
slate rivet
yeah hardware side of things i can do that mine 🙂
fallen harbor
oh really?
nvidia is less prone to give you unexpected problems than amd. But about the model exactly id suggest to watch benchmark videos on youtube
the ryzen 5 3600 for the cpu is okay
probably the best option
slate rivet
so for a first half decent pc - this is ok?
fallen harbor
also make sure your ram is divided into two modules. Two of 8 and not one of 16. It works better that way
slate rivet
yeah mate 🙂
glossy plinth
i like that ram ngl
fallen harbor
if you can, id recommend the psu to be seasonic, its the best brand out there and the psu is important
slate rivet
yeah can swap as i go along 🙂
fallen harbor
the rest is good
thatd be a pretty good pc actually
will run everything on high settings and at decent resolution and frame rate for several years
slate rivet
thanks for the help, going to buy it now 🙂
fallen harbor
wait really?
by decent i mean no less than 60fps and 1080p
can run modern games at 4k too at around 40fps
or 1080p and 100fps nowadays for many games
bfv will fly
its just not pretended to run at 144fps or 200fps at high settings or 4k and high frame rate etc. If thats what you want you must get a 2xxx series and some 10th gen i7 or an i9 or a ryzen 9 or 7 3700x etc
but he wants a first half decent pc so thats perfect for him, more than half decent even
supple bane
@slate rivet aye thats a nice build
considerably better than the one you found yesterday
slate rivet
thanks man
checking shipping now before i buy 🙂
wonders of work, i could get shipping freee 
slate rivet
yeah mate
glossy plinth
NZXT is 🔥
supple bane
who ever it is, i like that they have listed every spec exactly. its not a good sign if the listing is just "500w power supply" instead of an actual make and model
glossy plinth
trueeeeeeee
slate rivet
🙂
supple bane
you should bang a 2tb hard drive in there tho, 500gb will go before you know it
2tb hdd's are like 50 quid.
glossy plinth
is quid in the uk?
supple bane
50 squid
slate rivet
glossy plinth
do you think changing my power supply will increase performance
slate rivet
For sure, i just need a good base build then can buy parts as i go along
