I can do html ccs and SQL pretty decently
wheat plume

fair gull
sql isnt either btw
she mentioned them dangerously close to programming languages
programming languages are turing complete
the simplest way i could explain it is
if you know what the game of life is
thats a cellular automaton. if you can code it in the language so the language itself produces whats conways game of life you have a turing complete language
html, css and sql cant do it alone
html5 and css together can be used in a turing complete way
personally id say its still a cheezy way as it relies on meta selectors
wheat plume
no, if it can make game of life, its a turing complete programming language

It’s no longer there
chrome estuary
some of y'all might think i'm silly but i bought myself a ryzen 5600 to replace my 2700x, i'm gonna upgrade about mid next year fully to AM5.
pale sigil
Thats not silly.
stark bobcat
actually makes a ton of sense to me
chrome estuary
hmm
pale sigil
aye
chrome estuary
well maybe i'm being too hard on myself then. it felt silly.
stark bobcat
expect upgrading to am5 so soon when u already have a great system
junior ore
Not silly at all
junior ore
I upgraded from 1600x to 5900x
stark bobcat
gonna do 2600x to 5600 or 5800x3d depending on price
pale sigil
the gap betweren even 3600 and 5600x is big
chrome estuary
the 5800x compared to the 5600 is such a negligible difference for a large price difference
junior ore
Also yeah do t need to upgrade to AM5
pale sigil
the 5800x compared to the 5600 is such a negligible difference for a large price...
large?
its like 40 quid difference here atm
pretty pog
stark bobcat
wot
junior ore
Yeah go for the 5800 instead
chrome estuary
300$ for the 5800x and 180$ for the 5600
stark bobcat
I'd love to get the 5800 for 40€ more than a 5600
junior ore
Ah
chrome estuary
we're talking maybe 5-10fps difference with a 10-30w power difference and a 10-15C heat difference for 120$ more
junior ore
But yeah no need to aim for an AM5 yet
stark bobcat
I ll run my am4 system until it dies probably
chrome estuary
i was gonna go for AM5 since i want to get into PS3 emulation and shit but i'll probably wait until mid to late next year, upgrade, and give my current system to my cousin who could really use an upgrade.
pale sigil
not sure what happened but the 5600x is 206 and 5800x was 245
junior ore
Why not just PS3 emulate, uh, now?
junior ore
Sorta
chrome estuary
it feels like it. maybe it's me but even switch or 3ds seems to have issues
ashen spindle
ps3 reaaaaaally likes AVX512 to emulate
chrome estuary
just running like dogshit seemingly no matter what I do.
ashen spindle
or rather ps3 emulation gets a lot better with avx512 by multiple magnitudes
junior ore
Also keep in mind you were usind old CPU. And even if you are picking a newer one, its still an entry one as a 5600.
@chrome estuary whats your PC specs?
And which emulators?
chrome estuary
2700x
3070ti
32gb 3200mhz cl15
crucial p1 NVME ssd.
stark bobcat
or rather ps3 emulation gets a lot better with avx512 by multiple magnitudes
just exaggerating or actually multiple magnitudes?
astral haven
It's a huuuuge improvement
ashen spindle
depends on the exact case but its massiv
junior ore
Hhmmm... technically shouldnt be much issues with those specs
astral haven
The 2700x isn't particularly fast tho
ashen spindle
because ps3 uses special hardware thats hard to emulate without it
junior ore
Aye. But theres the 3ds and switch ones they mentioned
chrome estuary
let's ignore the fact i just bought a launch edition ps3 i plan on cleaning up, re-padding, etc.
astral haven
Switch emu isn't that fast
junior ore
Aye. But the 3ds should be solid
chrome estuary
okay well CEMU ran like shit too though
stark bobcat
I kinda would love to play demons souls on the ps3
chrome estuary
i want to play the remastered one on this damnable PS5 i have two games for.
stark bobcat
I ll be on the look out for one on ebay
junior ore
@chrome estuary do you have issues with non-emulated games?
stark bobcat
I lowkey wanna play the original more
chrome estuary
i feel like games should run better but i'm not exactly sure how to test if they should be unless someone had an identical system to mine but just a better CPU
junior ore
@chrome estuary get up something that displays your framerate and check if it drops frequently and its averages
You can also try benchmarking tools and such
junior ore
Whens the last time you updated your drivers, lumi?
pale sigil
@stark bobcat
chrome estuary
uh...
ashen spindle
thats 280 eur
chrome estuary
i can't remember tbh but it feels recent
stark bobcat
yeah that is a lotta money probably will buy a 5600
junior ore
Laptop or desktop 3070ti?
stark bobcat
or wait and save for 5800x3d
chrome estuary
friend i'm upgrading the CPU
pale sigil
yeah that is a lotta money probably will buy a 5600
oh, forgot the 5600 none x wasd a thing
astral haven
Obviously desktop lmao
stark bobcat
no its not
it is
ashen spindle
thats 100 bucks less than the 5800
chrome estuary
it's once again a negligible difference for like 30$ here in the Us
ashen spindle
no point in going for the 5800 still
pale sigil
nvm i found it, but the difference is like nothing
25 quid difference between x and none x 5600
chrome estuary
yeah but you're talking maybe 1 frame difference between the two for a price difference of a decent meal
chrome estuary
my gluttony will take the meal over the 1 frame.
junior ore
@chrome estuary what OS you run?
stark bobcat
difference between 5600x and 5800x is 120€ in germany rn
chrome estuary
Win10
junior ore
Price differences going to be different regionally and by store*
stark bobcat
25 quid difference between x and none x 5600
seeing as the difference between them in performance is like nothing I'd rather buy the non x
chrome estuary
seeing as the difference between them in performance is like nothing I'd rather...
that's why i grabbed the non-x
junior ore
@chrome estuary gonna assume its 64 bit.
Redo your drivers to be sure by re installng and reset all gpu settings from scratch https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/192967/en-us/
chrome estuary
i actually did that here about 3ish months ago?
junior ore
Usually if you ran Geforce Experience you would update frequently and automatically as an option
pale sigil
seems it would be more logical to get a 5700x
chrome estuary
i'm gonna update now
pale sigil
over a 5800x
junior ore
Also check your temperatures
pale sigil
I kinda regret offering to give my cousin my 5600x
junior ore
Its possible your computer or just the CPU is running so hot it throttles itself to not die horribly
chrome estuary
i'd think that too but the fan doesn't spin up all that hard unless i'm running something ridiculous.
like properly stressing the system
pale sigil
He's in this server so i prob should jhave not said that
junior ore
Right but check with an actual temperature display and not by sound of fans
chrome estuary
i will
junior ore
Its not impossible it could just need new thermal paste, if its having heat issues
stark bobcat
i'd think that too but the fan doesn't spin up all that hard unless i'm running ...
do you know what temps you are having under load?
chrome estuary
no since in doing that now since i'm going to upgrade next tuesday when the CPU comes in.
i haven't checked since i built this machine but i remember it being 65-70
stark bobcat
well that isn't the issue then
chrome estuary
i'm just using the wraith cooler so it's not some aftermarket like my next would be
chrome estuary
definitely.
pale sigil
high
chrome estuary
also that was four years ago, i could be misremembering
i'll check everything and play doctor from there to see if i find a problem.
junior ore
Yeah.
Checking temps need to be a regular thing.
Also : which game are you trying to emulate the most thats having performance issues?
And have you tried switching from OpenGL to Vulkan or vice versa? CEMU has that for an option
stark bobcat
it's kinda funny some games like pokemon xy have some performance issues even on the 3ds
junior ore
Thats cause Gamefreaks aren't the best developers.
stark bobcat
sadly true
pale sigil
Honestly, i just want to not be annoyed my CPU limits when gaming.
I do a fuck ton of stuff even with a game open.l
junior ore
How do you know you are reaching a CPU limit in a game?
stark bobcat
I just have a million chrome tabs open usually
chrome estuary
Dragon Quest 8 3ds, the 3ds kirby games, BOTW (Cemu and yes i tried both vulkan and opengl), and there are others that i can't remember.
i haven't bothered with emulation in quite a while due to the fact it ran like shit last time i tried.
alright now time to wait 6 months on the nvidia driver to download.
astral haven
Uh
Try again first
Speed has been drastically improved in most emulators...
junior ore
Yeah it sounds like all your atempts and info are months and years old >.>
I recommend finishing the updates, enable your FPS viewer, and get latest CEMU version and try again
astral haven
Steam deck release has pushed emu dev hard
chrome estuary
most of my info can be excused to lack of energy to try.
work and other personal stuff
junior ore
Yeah tons of emulation has been pushed forward
astral haven
An excuse and can be excused are very different
chrome estuary
yeah but it's my wording and my excuse
junior ore
If you comes across issues let me know and I wont mind trying to help.
chrome estuary
speaking of steam decks, that thing could use an update i'm sure
junior ore
It gets steady updates yeah. But it runs things nice.
stark bobcat
he means hardware I m sure
chrome estuary
personally i'm not a fan of it, it's technically not mine.
tldr; buddy's reservation came up and he didn't have the money. i bought it off of him but told him if he paid me, he could have it.
no i mean software
i haven't booted it up for quite a while
stark bobcat
it works fine in terms of software
junior ore
Aye, i love mine
stark bobcat
offline mode sucks tho
astral haven
It pushed dev of sloooow hardware for emu
junior ore
YeH the offline needs a rework
stark bobcat
ye I love mine too works great
chrome estuary
there's a few different things i don't like about it but it's all personal complaints. i'm sure the device is a great little badass from everything i've been hearing
stark bobcat
what do you dislike tho?
chrome estuary
i don't like placement of the joysticks to buttons, i'm not a fan of my hands being so far apart on a controller (part of the reason why i'm not the biggest fan of the switch either), my internet is slow and i don't like to need to download the shader cache due to that, the fact i can't do a sort of sleep download overnight with the steam os and instead have to go into desktop mode and have the screen shut off.
it's all personal issues and nitpicky stuff
stark bobcat
ye the sleep download shit is ass
I mean with the hands stuff u knew what it looks like
chrome estuary
if i had faster internet, shader cache wouldn't be an issue. kind of same with the sleep download stuff.
As i said, it's technically not mine unless my friend fails to pay me back.
in that case, it is mine.
stark bobcat
I had to ask a friend to lend me money too tbh but I already paid him back
also that is kinda an ass thing to do from your friend
like I just hope he pays u back
chrome estuary
his grandparents are fairly wealthy and don't skimp on birthday or christmas, i'll probably get paid back then. if not, i just have a steam deck then
chrome estuary
like other than the placement of the joysticks, the thing feels pretty good in the hands and i could live with my hands being so far apart.
but you can't move the joysticks anywhere due to the touchpads.
stark bobcat
idk I thought I'd hate the joystick placement but I don't mind it#
chrome estuary
fair enough
stark bobcat
mine has a weird thing where the left side of my dpad is more stiff than the right
chrome estuary
mine seemed fine.
i'm going to kentucky on vacation come Labor Day so i'm going to break it out, throw some games and shit on it, then bring it with me to play on.
chrome estuary
this one doesn't have the "good fan" but it's not awful or really bothersome
junior ore
The joystick placements are fine for me. as well as the buttons.
stark bobcat
I mean mine could be worse and it doesn't bother me since I use headphones but I feel sorry for the other people
junior ore
the only negatives for me in regards ot the inputs are the back buttons require too much force to press.
chrome estuary
the buttons would be fine, tbh i wish they could've replaced the placement of the touchpads and joysticks personally
then it would've been perfect
stark bobcat
I have never used pedals tbh
stark bobcat
back buttons
junior ore
i use them for some games
chrome estuary
i think one game i was playing i had a pedal set up.
junior ore
I just want them easier to press
stark bobcat
I might use them for gear shifting if I decide to play most wanted on manual mode
but I am bad enough at driving as is
chrome estuary
i want an actual wheel but the G27 is null and void for the most part now and there's no other real equivalent to what i'd like.
unless i wanted to make a button box on top of getting like a g920 or whatever it's called (ps4/PC logitech wheel)
stark bobcat
tbh I have never tried a wheel and I don't think I will since I am not even allowed to drive in real life and I dont wanna get any idea of how it would feel
chrome estuary
damn
junior ore
I have a.... uuuh,... idunno remember what model it is.
chrome estuary
alright so i'm running an AMD stress test and it maxed at 72C
junior ore
it's a logitech with force feedback originally meant for PS3 but works dandy on PC.
junior ore
yeee
chrome estuary
damn it i'm a bit jealous
junior ore
as for pedals i have CH Product rudder/elevator controller
chrome estuary
my CPU also idles at about 40-43C
chrome estuary
i'm going to test that next.
chrome estuary

CPU frames are most commonly benchmarked running CS:GO, GPU frames under stress Cyberpunk 2077
Metro Exodus is actually used for benchmarking, but I've only seen it in TechRadar's laptop testing
I mean, Apex Legends can be either depending on your settings/hardware; could be a test of CPU frames or GPU frames
chrome estuary
hmm i didn't think of CP2077, mines out of date but should work just fine for a benchmark
deft marlin
only issue with Apex is the hard cap of 300fps
but if you can hit that figure with default settings, that means your rig is pretty OP for the purpose of apex legends
that is, above FHD resolution
if I were a professional reviewer, I'd run that game for rigs at all common gaming resolutions FHD through to 8K (maybe just 4K) and see how Apex Legends fares on different systems
chrome estuary
damn it i need to update cp2077 but i'm just gonna run the game maxed out, no dlss, and see what everything does.
chrome estuary
@junior ore if you're still curious, GPU while under 100% utilization is running at about 68-72c
i've managed to max it out around 75 but it doesn't seem to go higher.
junior ore
well temps are good
what monitor specs are you using?
and for the emulator : what are you having the emulator's resolution set as?
chrome estuary
1440p and I haven't checked emulator yet.
Previously it was 720p on CEMU
chrome estuary
By the by. I am not dealing with that computer anymore tonight. Cyberpunk 2077 1.3 ran fully maxed on 1440p at 23fps without dlss and that's enough info for me for right this second.

Although I knew DDR3 phaseout would take a while I am shocked that DDR3 was still in production at such a major manufacturer. Like I would presume at this point it wouldn't have been worth making anymore since DDR4 is now 8 years old

I didn't find it too shocking. DDR3 wasn't exactly super slow and, like. Is in shitloads of computers that are still usable.
But with windows 10 soon to be "end of life" and windows 11 forcing hardware restrictions... yeah.

AMD making a 10 core 7800X is probably the biggest news so far

I wonder why Resolve is heavily favouring Apple silicon
astral haven
It's designed for Nvidia on pc
Both Nvidia and apple have the gud hardware decoders and encoders
astral haven
Doubtful
Amd doesn't gaf about quality of encoder
They have been focusing just on speed for their DC users forever
Don't see that changing :/
deft marlin
wheel is working again!
From what I read of most scroll wheels their encoder is less durable than the main buttons of a mouse
astral haven
And the reason resolve works with Nvidia is that Nvidia works with them lol
cursive summit
AMD has a compatibility layer with Nvidia's hardware
Can't that be further optimized
cursive summit
Nvidia uses CUDA while AMD uses openCL right?
If something's made for CUDA, afaik AMD has this compatibility layer so that things would work fine with AMD's hardware too
astral haven
AMD has a compatibility layer with Nvidia's hardware
No they dont
latent mural
Dear fellow nerds does anyone have any experience in segmentation/sub-netting a homelab?
astral haven
First of all, that's a compiler that can recompile code, not software that allows you to run cuda apps
But second this is for cuda
Not for nvenc nvdec
cursive summit
Isn't the current AMD encoder actually really competitive with Nvidias?
They stepped up big time since getting their ass beat for years this generation
astral haven
Resolve does use cuda, but not for most things
Most things use the hardware video accelerators
The Nvidia ones are good, the Intel ones are useable, and the AMD ones are bad
The
The amd encoder is almost as good for streaming
But it just doesn't have the quality required for rendering...
ashen spindle
the amd encoder is good just not at the bitrates used for the most part, at least that was the main issue when I last looked into it
astral haven
The amd encoder is the best at low bitrates
think half of YouTube bitrate for the resolution
When you are crunching the video hardcore it's alright
But the quality is barely watchable at that point
ashen spindle
hmm I'm certain one issue was that for streaming you had similar performance and quality but only once you had bitrates higher than what you can stream to on twitch
astral haven
Yes
But Nvidia was also better at those higher bitrates, and by a comparatively larger difference
The absolute difference is smaller because the quality is higher, but comparatively it's a larger difference
And feature wise, Nvidia works with people to implement features (see adobe for ai filters and davinci for ai resolution and slow motion tricks)
ashen spindle
yeah took like early this year for someone from amd to finally get obs support working better...
astral haven
Before that it was a community effort, previously and had provided no help whatsoever
ashen spindle
at least they are hiring a lot so should have more people to get on top of these things
astral haven
I'd be shocked is all I'll say
And just hasn't expressed interest in the high end video production market...
cursive summit
And just hasn't expressed interest in the high end video production market...
They are advertising heavily for the movie production market
Mostly with Threadrippers
Picking their fights carefully

not sure what cpus have to do with gpu encoders

cursive summit
Annoying as fuck
wheat plume
you mean the left side menu that slides out on apps?
cursive summit
Or I guess that wasn't Android, but MiUI
Whatever update that was, it was terrible
wheat plume
MIUI lets you use the bottom half of the screen to go back and the top half to open the left side menu
I wish Stock did that
the Entire side is used for back gestre
so yuo got to use the button to open the menu or hold on the very edge and wait for it to slide out a little
cursive summit
Idk I don't really use my phone for anything else but calls, food ordering, banking or youtube
So I frankly don't care for any of these updates
Interesting that people do

a good gaming monitor - Gigabyte M27Q X

i should probably mention money isn’t a problem
deft marlin
well
bill gates has billions of dollars
yet he's careful on what he spends
does it have to be a monitor?
or can it be a TV
misty saffron
yes because i don’t want a tv
deft marlin
I was messing with you on that part
sure it'll suffice for most uses, its great
you'll want to make sure you have your available space measured
because it is one hell of a large monitor
and leave enough room at the back for access to the control joystick for monitor settings
misty saffron
i will be moving in a month anyways
deft marlin
then best to order it once you've moved
its one of those monitors meant for permanent use in one location
misty saffron
not a great idea considering it’s on backorder on computeruniverse

true quest
i save boxes for last week's cereal
deft marlin
deft marlin
why’d i move it
only thing you should consider, as a quality of life aspect, is eye comfort switching between curved and flat
also placement could or may not be an issue, as a 1000R monitor is meant to resemble (at the Alienware's size) two mildly curved monitors side-by-side
and positioned in a way that their bezels touch and it looks like one screen
but, it really is with a 1000R
misty saffron
good, i don’t want a second monitor anyways
deft marlin
you're throwing out the previous one?
misty saffron
also buying the 4k monitor was a mistake
deft marlin
what no
my suggestion, which is probably what you've got planned, is have two desks on opposite sides of the same room
one for your old monitor, one for the Alienware
just a heads up, I've used alienware's software before
confusing af
best you check out Optimum Tech's video that I'll link about settings worth changing on a new gaming monitor, fumble around with the joystick used for the on-screen menu and be done with it

i can’t give less shits about benchmark scores
there’s a reason i’ve been buying iphones because they just work well and i don’t have to research mystery numbers
misty saffron
no i want a direct competitor to pro max iphones please

so u do care about benchmark scores and stuff
misty saffron
i care about it being snappy
fair gull
how are they shit
misty saffron
sony is stuck in 2018
fair gull
how so
misty saffron
design
fair gull
i was about to say if you say design now ure literally just not a person who needs a dslr thats also a phone
misty saffron
why, i have a dslr
fair gull
well sony phones are specifically for the nieche of photography and mobile phone with power
thats why they are still designed like that
better to hold and point
and samsung literally follows the iphone philosophy of garbage design and garbage prices
should be literally your brand
misty saffron
no, samsung is shit
i’ve used two generations of s phones and id rather not anymore
fair gull
inb4 it was some garbage ones
halcyon moss
i like my s21u ¯_(ツ)_/¯
misty saffron
no, s9+ and s10+
fair gull
so the literal 2 best gens
misty saffron
if you say so
fair gull
i mean compared to some customers of mine
yes
they bought iphones after i already had my s10+ for a year or so
they had more issues with their iphones than me
in 3 yrs i had a grand total of 1 issue which is basically new and present since at most a few months
misty saffron
i’ve had zero issues with my iphone 11pm besides the battery eventually dying
that also can’t be attributed to beta software
fair gull
idk man my customer iphones have all sorts of issues like wifi not working, apps not starting and what not
only fixed by the weird hard reset
misty saffron
never had any
fair gull
shit like that is why i wont ever get an iphone
misty saffron
maybe applications freezing but i’ll also blame that on the battery
fair gull
idk man never had issues
misty saffron
as i said, besides the battery
fair gull
and my new issue is also unrelated to battery or software
literally just 1 corner of the backglass seperating by half a mil or so
and thats due to a very slight bent in my phone from how it sits in my pocket and the stress its under when i ride my bike or sit down in general
misty saffron
my issue with the s10+ was trash tier camera quality (compared to iphones) and terrible os ux
fair gull
im not big on camera anymore
its why i had a sony for years
cause it saved me from buying a dslr
then they had 1 flagship without a jack which made me buy my s10+ and a dslr
misty saffron
anyways, good to know there are no direct competitors on android to iphones
gonna save me some money
besides the joke of a software solution by samsung i guess
fair gull
well if you dont explain what a direct competitor for you is
cause believe it or not samsung is the direct competitor
and just cause apple relies on ai post processing for pics or has a differeny ux doesnt mean its without competition
misty saffron
just said samsung’s joke of a software solution is what i hate about them
halcyon moss
joke software solution? for what?
