[latent light]

I remember when 3600 went down to $150-160 USD for a while then it went back up to $200 launch msrp

[opaque saddle]

Yeah

It’s actually good for the consumers

[latent light]

Ryzen 3 3300X still can't be found anywhere despite still being in production

[opaque saddle]

I can get a 3600 for cheaper price here

Why would I wanna get a 3300x?

I think that applies to others as well

[latent light]

Well 3300X was once $120 USD, about the sane price you used to get a Ryzen 5 2600

[opaque saddle]

Cannot find a 3300x on sale here

[latent light]

4c/8t that kept up pace with the 3700X in most games

[opaque saddle]

With special offers*

I think most of the processors from zen 2 was also capped at 3700x speed, in gaming benchmarks

[opaque saddle]

Ask

[solar kestrel]

Ahoy lads

[opaque saddle]

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

A task that many have not answers but still ponders in me head

I have a10400F

Refrain from laughing

[opaque saddle]

You want everyone to answer to that?

3060

[solar kestrel]

Didn’t finish

Anyway wanted to know the best gpu to pair with this cpu in order to get very little to no bottlenecking

[opaque saddle]

3060

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

Oh I thought he was joking

[opaque saddle]

Mindreading

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

Derek read my mind Rn

[modern gull]

Hacker irl

[opaque saddle]

No it doesn’t work every time

[solar kestrel]

Heck

[opaque saddle]

This is why I’m a mod

[modern gull]

nice cpu tho, not to bad

[modern gull]

lul

[solar kestrel]

So I can actually get a 3060 and be chilling

https://tenor.com/view/stumble-shake-shaky-drink-gif-16104354

[modern gull]

He could even use 3070 tho, but might need to have higher res etc...

[solar kestrel]

Unexpected to say the least

Gonna ask for a crisp 144 hz monitor for christmas or do a tone of mowing lawns owvwr the summer

[opaque saddle]

I mean if he can afford for a 3070...

[solar kestrel]

Heck no

[modern gull]

Like Derek says 3060 is perfect pair

[solar kestrel]

3060 is a bit more reasonable considering I can work over the summer to help pay back

[opaque saddle]

I think you may have to mow every single houses from your town

[solar kestrel]

Work for my lazy neighbors that is

[opaque saddle]

To get a 3070 with that ridiculous price

[solar kestrel]

No

306

[opaque saddle]

Nah actually you can go for 3060ti

[solar kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-will-ferrell-awesome-gif-14597941

720p 60fps wh

[modern gull]

Your cpu might not give you extra fps anyways if you get the 3070. But then you have headroom for things that need more gpu itself.

[modern gull]

tf

[opaque saddle]

He can get as high as he can

[solar kestrel]

[opaque saddle]

But keep in mind he is paying for a fortune

[modern gull]

I mean the cpu still need to be fast enough to get higher frames

[modern gull]

Yep

[solar kestrel]

Gonnna buy at end of school year

As long as I don’t fail

That’s step one

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-woah-hold-up-wait-gif-5693923

[opaque saddle]

You shall be getting another pc after you graduated

[solar kestrel]

Cpu*

Wouldn’t need a new rig for at least like what

3-4 years

Most likely more

[modern gull]

btw you could also get an 2070 etc... if that would be cheaper

[solar kestrel]

What’s the performance difference

[opaque saddle]

Ignore RT

[modern gull]

Probably about the same, i cant comfirm

[modern gull]

I wasnt thinking raytracing

[opaque saddle]

I think quite similar

[modern gull]

the 3060 probably beat 2070 if rt

[opaque saddle]

I didn’t finish my line

[solar kestrel]

I don’t really think I’ll use ray tracing

[weak girder]

actually not

[modern gull]

[opaque saddle]

Depending on the games tho

[weak girder]

oh didnt see rt

[modern gull]

hahaha

[solar kestrel]

How much does a 2070 useually cost in comparison to the 3060

[weak girder]

hard to say with the new prices

[solar kestrel]

Msrp wise

[modern gull]

Might aswell be better to buy 3060 tho

3060 should be cheaper

[weak girder]

3060 is 100 dollars cheaper at launch if I remember

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

Heck

[modern gull]

Saw people was selling 1060 for like 200+ USD on ebay. What a joke lul

[weak girder]

used?!

[modern gull]

Ya man

[weak girder]

they should be selling those for 100 max lol

[modern gull]

ikr

[opaque saddle]

Seb

Scroll up

All the way up and read from the start

[modern gull]

Did he miss something?

[weak girder]

and?

[weak girder]

^

[opaque saddle]

Not sure if you have missed it, still very funny

[modern gull]

Thats right

[weak girder]

lol

[modern gull]

He predicted he was gonna ask what is best gpu for his cpu

[weak girder]

idk when the prices are gonna drop tho

what is the best current gen gpu to pair with my cpu

i5 8400

[opaque saddle]

Hmm

[weak girder]

or 2nd gen rt cards

[modern gull]

440 ti

[weak girder]

lmao

[opaque saddle]

2070S is the best you can pair with

But people will usually go for 2060s

[weak girder]

whhaat

[modern gull]

To be honest you can pair any gpu, but you might not get it to 100% and more fps anyways, if to slow cpu

[opaque saddle]

Yeah he can get a titan or

[modern gull]

mhm 😛

[opaque saddle]

Quadro

[weak girder]

I dont have the money lmao

[modern gull]

lol probably bad in games

[modern gull]

3060 perhaps, should be about the same as 2070

[opaque saddle]

Those cards has higher VRAM

[weak girder]

what would I do with 24gb vram lmao

[opaque saddle]

Doesn’t make much differences (apart from price) in gaming

People use those for video editing or server

[weak girder]

I probably wont use more than 5

[opaque saddle]

Or giant display or data centre

[modern gull]

Depends RT or not. He said 2nd gen RT.

nvm

tought you was talking about something else

[weak girder]

yeah Im not gonna go for 1000 card lol

Id go 2060 minimum

[opaque saddle]

I think he mean, first gen RTX

[weak girder]

yes sorry

[modern gull]

Oh

[opaque saddle]

Coz you can use RT in 1660 S

[weak girder]

yeah but its probs not a good idea

[opaque saddle]

No not a good idea

[modern gull]

Anyways RT is abit over rated

[weak girder]

its not for the rt but newer cards and better performance

[opaque saddle]

Yeah at least I have no use for now

[weak girder]

since the newer cards have better performance

[modern gull]

SSR is pretty nice but not as nice as RT, but surely nice enough imo.

[opaque saddle]

Yeah but I don’t think you wanna use RT in multi players

Lol

[weak girder]

I wont use rt in any game

[modern gull]

I do

[weak girder]

seriously

[modern gull]

yep

[opaque saddle]

1080p

[weak girder]

oh

[modern gull]

still get my monitor refresh rate

[weak girder]

yeah

[modern gull]

No man, i use 480p

[weak girder]

but prices are so high atm

8000 hkd for a 2060

[opaque saddle]

You know what

You forgot 3060 and 3080

Heading home brb

[modern gull]

Ok

[modern gull]

You can buy new cards cheaper directly from nvidia i'd assume

so MRSP 3060

300 USD ish

also better RT performance if you gonna use that.

[solar kestrel]

are there only the 2ng gen rt cards?

Just a suggestion

Nvidea should just get more gpus

No more out of stock and I flayed prices

Very smort

[modern gull]

What websites?

[solar kestrel]

like bestbuy at launch

To prevent

[opaque saddle]

Coz you have to go to Golden Arcade

[weak girder]

sham shui po is far away but eh

just to check gpu prices

[opaque saddle]

My friend built his new pc and saved $1000hkd

Going to a single shop

[weak girder]

my going to sham shui po?

[opaque saddle]

?

[weak girder]

golden arcade is in sham shui po

[opaque saddle]

Nah he built his pc there, purchased all the parts

Yeah you can go there by MTR

[weak girder]

ik

[opaque saddle]

I used to hang out there when I was travelling

[weak girder]

Ill check on the easter holidays

but I need more money

[opaque saddle]

[weak girder]

to buy a 2060

[opaque saddle]

Do you think you can get one during the holiday

I doubt that

[weak girder]

I have enough in euros but my parents wont let me exchange them in hkd

and since Im not 18...

I cant do shit about it

[opaque saddle]

Invest it to the bank

Currency exchange lol

[weak girder]

yes thats what they wont let me do

[opaque saddle]

You will be 18 soon

Pretty sure you wanna be 16 when you’re 18

[weak girder]

eh

when Im 18 its gonna be too late anyways

Ill buy a laptop and go to uni

[opaque saddle]

It will always be too early to buy a laptop for the future

[weak girder]

well I need a laptop for uni

Ill buy it when Im 18

[opaque saddle]

Lol

Gaming laptop would be nice, but MacBook will be nicer if you have a desktop at home

[weak girder]

it depends where Im accepted but I wanna take prep classes (its a french thing where you work your ass for 2 years to get in a good uni) and I wont have time to game

so macbook would be a wiser choice and then buy a desktop when I finally go to uni

[opaque saddle]

Will work out better If you have an iPhone

I don’t need to enter my password 85% of the time coz I’m wearing an Apple Watch, it unlocks the laptop automatically

[weak girder]

Ill probably keep my s10 except if it doesn't work anymore

[opaque saddle]

Who needs to purchase a new phone often?

[latent light]

Ikr I had my Galaxy S7 I bought in 2017 until last month because battery went bad

Now got LG Stylo 6

It was on sale only $120

[opaque saddle]

I heard people are getting POCO X3

[weak girder]

people in my school

Ive had my s10 for 2 years I have no reason to upgrade

its not like I do much except youtube

[opaque saddle]

My old iPhone lasted about 6 years

Before I gave it to my mum

[weak girder]

I think Ill keep mine 6 years as well

[opaque saddle]

I don’t know why my mind told me to give her that. But one month after I gave her, she dropped her iPhone and cracked the screen

Currently? Nothing unless you are lucky

[opaque saddle]

Unless the productions can keep up with the demands, unless the cryptocurrency market crashed. I don’t think people can get those new cards at a fair price

[storm osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmOp3LLwHmM

[latent light]

Should of been $399 not $479

[storm osprey]

either price is meaningless

which is even weirder now that i think about it, they could just say its 400 bucks and sell it at whatever and look better

[latent light]

Yeah prices may not be normal for the rest of the year or even 2022 tbh

[storm osprey]

wack af

[latent light]

Bet you next gen could even be worse

[storm osprey]

well, i guess i shouldnt complain

[proud trellis]

they all your mice ?

[storm osprey]

left to right:

viper mini, delux m800 wiress, model o-, logitech g203, logitech g pro x superlight

[storm osprey]

yea

[proud trellis]

the fuck ?

why so many

[storm osprey]

i like mice

[proud trellis]

lol

ths second one looks good tbf

[storm osprey]

basically i got g203 for work, got model o- for gaming but had problems with it then razer came out so i got that.. delux m800 was a 35 dollar wireless mouse so i wanted to see if i wanted a wireless mouse, i did so i just bought the g pro x superlight

i have 2 razer viper mini too

[proud trellis]

why you have 2 viper minis ?

one of em broke or something

[storm osprey]

so i bought the first viper mini but it had bad tolerance problems and squeaks/scratches on both mouse clicked, so i did a proactive return

but before i returned the bad viper mini the work mouse (g203) started having problems so i just replaced it

my office has the companies server in here so i can barely hear the squeakiness in here

[proud trellis]

how old is that G203 ?

it looks olddd

[storm osprey]

pretty sure i got this when it launched

[supple bane]

are your hands coated with acid or something

the matt coating on all of those mice is wearing off

the g203 is basically shiny

[proud trellis]

the g203 does look beaten up

[storm osprey]

g203 has probably a few thousand hours on it

but my hands get sweaty when i game

[supple bane]

the coating remains on my mouse

[storm osprey]

plus being in arizona its generally hot outside of 3 months of the year

[supple bane]

although with the flash it looks like its been sun-died, that area is going grey

thats not noticeable with the naked eye though

[proud trellis]

i hate phone cameras with the flash on. it brings so much dust out

[supple bane]

yeah makes things look gross

[supple bane]

eeh, considering its the hottest place on earth i would consider it hot all year round

at least i think death valley is in arizona, am i right in saying that ?

[storm osprey]

isnt death valley hottest?

i think thats in california

[supple bane]

oh

[storm osprey]

yea its in cali

... not like thats far though

[supple bane]

aye

[storm osprey]

its a 7 hour drive

[supple bane]

well thats pretty far in terms of uk sizes

i could drive to scotland in that time

[storm osprey]

true

7 hours gets you to the next states big city

at least where i live, obviously east coast usa is a lot more compact than that

[supple bane]

such a cool name tho, "death valley"

dope

[quick locust]

Been there

[supple bane]

was it hot ?

anything above 25c i cant bare

[quick locust]

The workshop in uni I'm using rn is around 30

[storm osprey]

anything below 25c in phoenix is considered cool, maybe some even thinking its cold

[quick locust]

Imagine my laptop in death valley

[storm osprey]

sub 16c its common to see people wearing jackets

[supple bane]

it was 14c a few days ago and i was in the garden in shorts, tee shirt and sunglasses

i was doing work tho so if i wasnt doing anything id probably have to wear a hoodie or something

digging a 30m trench up the garden

[proud trellis]

14 degrees is cold

WDYM

[storm osprey]

yea people here at 14c would definitely be wearing jackets

[supple bane]

naaaah, get to -5 and then i would say its "cold"

like winter coat weather

[proud trellis]

even in 20 degrees i wear coats

[quick locust]

winters here used to be cold but its gotten a lot warmer even in my lifetime

[supple bane]

are you one of these people that have their heating at about, surface of the sun temperature?

because from my sample size of one, ive seen if you have your house temperature higher you wont be able to stand the cold as well

i never use the radiator in my room

Should I switch to DX12 and check performance?

maybe its using integrated

anyone got one of those?

no sorry

100% sRGB 🤮

[digital hill]

well its designed for art

I'm no artist but if its for art you need accurate colors so for a nice casual gaming/movie monitor its this

[opaque saddle]

isnt that you can calibrate your display as well? with the extra tool if you want that to be exactly accurate

[digital hill]

Yeah I mean my display is limited by va

[opaque saddle]

the top tier VA looks great

[digital hill]

good colors but eeh 1440p for 324 due to tax and regulatory fee while telling me about prop 65 cancer warning

[opaque saddle]

but only top tier

[digital hill]

75hz

@opaque saddle Yeah mine isn't top tier its 1080p 144hz 27in

[opaque saddle]

i think you told me about it before

[digital hill]

yeah its that

well time to sell it for 150 dollars on offerup

or maybe 160

[opaque saddle]

what about the broken one

my dell isn't broken just don't like it that much

PC DRAM Contract Prices Projected to Undergo Remarkable 13-18% Increase QoQ in 2Q21 Owing to High Demand from End Products and Data Centers, Says TrendForce

At the moment, the DRAM market has formally entered a new cycle of rising prices, and 2Q21 will see larger QoQ price increases compared with 1Q21, according to TrendForce’s latest investigations. Looking ahead to 2Q21, shipments of various end products are expected to remain fairly strong. At the same time, clients in the data center segment will resume large-scale procurement. Hence, DRAM buyers across different application segments will be under pressure to stockpile. After experiencing QoQ increases of 3-8% for 1Q21, the average contract prices of different kinds of DRAM products are forecasted to rise more significantly by 13-18% QoQ for 2Q21.

[opaque saddle]

Nah I just want to mention begging coz I got a few person begging in DM

That’s why I switched off DM. Anyway, Acer is growing bigger and bigger these days, I remember they weren’t that big before

side note, i cannot wait to get off this damn membrane keyboard.

its horrid to type on.

i dont mind regular membranes, but its one of these that tries to imitate the mechanical tactile feel. and its just. gross

I used a membrane microsoft keyboard before this

worked for ages and was cheap, but was so mushy

[supple bane]

yeah those are fine. i use them at school and they are actually quite nice to type on

Oh actually I forgot to reply

also this keyboard is a UK layout and im used to a US layout.

[quick locust]

US layout is weird to me with the small enter

[opaque saddle]

UK layout is weird to me

Was using that I got used to US layout

And you know what... I got used to the US layout so much and kept making typos

Hello Nerds ! can anyone give me advice on a fix for this. I've tried all the forums one's, the only thing that ever worked was a complete reinstall of windows. It comes up after a BSOD (Usually RAM related) and steam always craps out about a registry erro (UNdefined)

[proud trellis]

so half of my games on steam say i need to reinstall them when i have them installed. anyone ever had this happen to them ?

[quick locust]

If they are on a different drive than the steam installation that can sometimes happen

Just press install then add steam library then it`ll detect the games and you dont have to install

[proud trellis]

wdym add steam library

@quick locust

[supple bane]

settings, downloads, add library folders.

add a new folder

then click at the top and select the drive letter that wasnt showing up in the list

[proud trellis]

found a pair of headphones i like but they are a bit pricey

[digital hill]

What are theey

[latent light]

Intel 11th gen Rocket Lake latency issues are caused from the sheer chip size due to backporting to 14nm instead of the planned 10nm node and lack of total cache per core

[opaque saddle]

Would be wondering what is going on with their 10nm nodes. (We all know what the news got told)

[supple bane]

i see with the 11900k they have gone back to 8c16t instead of the 10c20t on the 10900k

that really is lackluster compared to the 5950x now

[opaque saddle]

Only thing we don’t know is, whether the 10nm is costing them too much to make due to low amount of processor matched the standards, or simply they need a bit more time to make their 10nm

[latent light]

5900X and 5950X are in their own league tbh

They're already on 2nd gen 10nm

[supple bane]

i have a bad feeling about this launch i really do

[latent light]

Intel 10nm SuperFin is 10nm+

[proud trellis]

8cores in an i9 is it ?

[supple bane]

when ryzen 5000 was about to launch everywhere i looked was speculation, rumours and discussion, and for 11th gen i had no idea it was next week.

/week after

[opaque saddle]

Coz if it cost $300 to make a perfect i7, it wouldn’t make sense for them to sell it for $300 MSRP

[latent light]

i9-11900K is about $80-100 more than a Ryzen 7 5800X and often loses in gaming performance especially games that like to use cache

[supple bane]

and 10th gen was swept under the rug pretty much. it came out, there were a few videos and then i basically stopped hearing about it. And considering specs wise the 11th gen is basically the same as last gen with a few very minor clock improvements.. to me its dead before its been born

[opaque saddle]

Possibly low yield or high numbers of defected chip

[supple bane]

i mean the 11600k. you pay 40 pounds more for an extra 100 mhz. over the 10600k. thats it.

thats just a joke really

[latent light]

Well IPC gains too

[opaque saddle]

I think the 14nm is soon reaching the potential maximum for intel. If they don’t change it to 10nm soon, they aren’t going to get much performance gain

I mean they can invest more money on 14nm but not considered as a good return investment over time

[latent light]

You know they've refined 14nm to the point where it's actually pretty close to 10nm in efficiency and density

[opaque saddle]

Yeah that is a problem tbh

[latent light]

They need 7nm asap

[opaque saddle]

If they refined it once again. They are gonna be another year late

Their next step can be harmful for their business.

Refining the current architecture cost much less

But if they don’t take actions on time, they are gonna be late

[latent light]

Did you know the i3-11100/11300 and 11350K will be based on last gen Comet Lake/Skylake architecture lmao

Intel is apparently gonna start leaving i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs to the previous generation architecture

[opaque saddle]

I think I have seen the news going back to 14nm from 10nm like a year ago

Or older

Coz they couldn’t make as many as 14nm chips back then

[latent light]

Intel is set to release 12th gen just 9 months after 11th gen

[opaque saddle]

Similar to 4th (5th on mobile) to 6th

[latent light]

12th gen is DDR5 and 16 cores

12th gen will be backwards compatible with DDR4

DDR4 module will work in DDR5 slot but DDR5 module isn't gonna work in DDR4 slot

Which is expected

DDR4 controller couldn't handle DDR5

[storm osprey]

I’m not sure about the switch, haven’t heard of it. From what I’m reading it sounds like a standard keyboard for 150 which is too high for me

[supple bane]

Its selling for 100 pounds, which isn't too far Iver budget

From the reviews of seen it looks nice,

It might be the one

[storm osprey]

Looks like laser etched key caps too. Ehh

For 100 it seems fine

[proud trellis]

is a 3070 overkill for 1080p ?

[storm osprey]

Depends on hz, game, settings

[opaque saddle]

you can set the highest settings you can do and wouldnt be overkilled

i mean the absolute maximum

but it will be overkilled if you use 1080p all on lowest settings possible

[storm osprey]

Cyberpunk? No. Csgo low settings? Yes

[weak girder]

depends on the game but usually yes

except if you want 144 fps on ultra settings 1080p in rdr2

[modern gull]

Cpu. Lower res will reduce load on gpu. So if you want more fps you need faster cpu. If slow cpu and want high gpu load increase res scale or play gpu demanding game.

[modern gull]

Csgo any gpu max setting

[latent light]

Ryzen 5 5600X + RTX 3070 (and future 3070Ti) are perfect pair for maxing out graphics settings for the most demanding titles at 1080p 144 fps

[weak girder]

1440p wont lose much fps with that configuration

you'll still get 100-144 fps at 1440p in most demanding titles

[modern gull]

[latent light]

Ryzen 5000 and Intel 11th gen achieve 800 fps in csgo lol

[modern gull]

damn

Wonder if fps/usage will increases if i turn of hyper threading

Unsure how many cores csgo would use anyways

[opaque saddle]

@modern gull i reckon it will go up by at least 10% with HT off

[modern gull]

Perhaps

[opaque saddle]

i did a test before

[modern gull]

I uinstalled it soo

let me redownload

The way cs go download uses disk

When installing

[weak girder]

do you think that's smooth enough?

[modern gull]

What do you mean?

[weak girder]

is 400 fps smooth tho

Turned of threaded optimization in NV control panel. Unsure if it would be the same as turning HT off in bios

So you could get by with a 450w if you have a ryzen 5 3600/5600

[quick locust]

[solar kestrel]

i have an i-5

10400f

[raw turtle]

That should be good

I was worried if it was a r7 3700x or a 10600k/10700k

They use a lot of wattage

[solar kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[raw turtle]

I believe 10400f is about the same if not slightly better than the 3600 power draw wise

Solid cpu choice though 👌

I wouldn’t recommend a 450w though, just go for 550w +

600/650w PSUs are the sweet spot rn

[digital hill]

@turbid verge What ever happened to decent sized gpu's

[quick locust]

Power consumption went up

So you can either make massive gpus or loud gpus

[turbid verge]

remember when computers like 50 years ago filled like 70% of an office to just run some simple inputs and outputs and save them in magnetic tapes?

that used to be a nightmare

[digital hill]

That's true

[turbid verge]

tbh Iam not sure about 3090's but least there's some 3080's with hybrid system that seem to be better then the usual massive triple fan layout

[quick locust]

3060 use around same power as a 1080

Yeah hybrid and aio cards are good

[turbid verge]

least for a 3090 would be better considered the size of the cooling they use

mostly I say this because back when AMD never knew GDDR6X was gonna be a mess to deal with due to its fucked temps

the liquid cooling solves that issue easly compared to the current scuffed solutions people have come with for their 3080/3090

[quick locust]

well they still dont use it

[turbid verge]

yeh good thing they didnt tbh

AMD avoided a huge punch in the gut with that

[quick locust]

Not that their hbm2 was exactly cold in vega lul

[turbid verge]

[quick locust]

But now they just use regular gddr6

[turbid verge]

I mean rn GGDR6 seems to be a much better solution and more stable

[quick locust]

yeah

[turbid verge]

least on the AMD cards and 3070 under

they are fine

[quick locust]

just less bandwidth

Half

of 3080 and 3090

[turbid verge]

think the 3080ti will have GDDR6X too

[quick locust]

it isnt everything since otherwise radeon vii would dominate lol

But would help rdna2 a bit to have more bandwidth than it does

[digital hill]

why go for x?

[turbid verge]

I know for a fact I know people with 3080's who are still annoyed with the 10gb vram

mostly how its so limited for rendering and heavy real time renderings

on such a powerful card

[quick locust]

yeah i know but not its purpose

[turbid verge]

not like every person that works with 3D has money fora 3090 or a A6000

[quick locust]

3060 having 12 GB is because of the 192 bit bus

[fallow garden]

W

[quick locust]

3070 feels like its in a weird spot

[strong breach]

I want to see a 3060 using +10Gb of VRAM and running a game in +60fps

[quick locust]

they could either have 6 GB or 12 GB on 3060

So they went 12

cities skylines can eat vram

[turbid verge]

after knowing the 3080ti will also get 12gb vram thats gonna be funny

[quick locust]

im on 11 gb

[turbid verge]

1080ti?

[quick locust]

2080 ti

[strong breach]

3080

[turbid verge]

ah yes I remember ordering a 3080

then got cancelled

[strong breach]

oof

[turbid verge]

[strong breach]

i had to wait just over 3 months

to get mine

[turbid verge]

I would pre order one if there was pre orders in the first place

lol

[quick locust]

You know its a good thing I dont have a reason to upgrade or get a gpu right now

Well saying that I hope my gpu doesn't die just to spite me now

[strong breach]

yeah 2080ti is more than good up until like 50 or 60 series

[quick locust]

[turbid verge]

I do have a reason. Mostly for work with 3d rendering

[quick locust]

buy CDNA

[turbid verge]

I want to play games too

[solar kestrel]

My Gt 640 does its best

[quick locust]

just do this

[turbid verge]

I would but as a student think wouldnt be very worth it.

[quick locust]

since I also wanna use the GPU for games aswell

[quick locust]

no time for games

[gleaming arrow]

Hello

Does anyone have a link to buy msi rx 6800 xt that is not OUT OF STOCK?

[storm osprey]

@gleaming arrow you will basically have to join some sort of notification to get a card

theres discord sites dedicated to @ ing you when a certain product drops in your region

[proud trellis]

there is a discord called part alert or something im in which pings everytime a GPU is in stock

i can send the invite vid dm if u want

MP7

[gleaming arrow]

so i must wait until 00:00 ?

[storm osprey]

idk what that means

if you join a site called "stock drops" you select a role, that role will get pinged the moment a gpu goes in stock

[gleaming arrow]

Alr

[storm osprey]

assuming 00:00 is the time, then no, you dont have to wait till 00:00

you get notified the moment it drops

[gleaming arrow]

Ok

Probably because of how tech is designed and that’s why almost everything is HZ

I’m not a computer engineer but the HZ is measured in billions (or thousand millions) for most components and it’s the on/off cycle of hardware

[quick locust]

Hz is just cycles per second

[storm osprey]

loaded question but i cant imagine anyone saying that is bad

[raw turtle]

Idk the specs so idk

[storm osprey]

good point, if you have a 5800x and 3090 that would be "bad" relative to specs

[raw turtle]

Lmao I knew it from the start, I kept telling all intel fanboys that and they kept saying “jUsT wAiT fOr 11tH gEn”

They dropped core count on some and lots of HT drops

It’s obvious intel is fucked

[storm osprey]

didnt they only drop core count on 11900k?

everything else being exactly the same

[raw turtle]

Yep

[storm osprey]

11th gen probably turned out worst than anyone could have reasonably expected honestly

[raw turtle]

Hold on a sec

[storm osprey]

it was fair to assume a small performance increase accross the board, and somehow they managed to get mixed results

[raw turtle]

I take the HT thing back because I thought the 11700k had like 12 threads or something lmao

Too lazy to watch reviews

[storm osprey]

ive mostly seen 11700k reviews, which for gaming is basically a wash in terms of performance

intel is really only fucked in the DIY market and laptops, though i would guess thats not even fully true considering their cpus are easily available and a vast majority of people are not tech savy and would buy intel just off name brand alone

just checked and 5600x are still either OOS or over msrp

[stoic turret]

I dont have a 3090

Wait are specs resolutiob

N

[storm osprey]

i didnt assume you had a 3090, that was just an example how those numbers would be bad if you had top of the line specs
