[old marlin]

because gta v was too succesful

[latent mural]

almost 10 years since gta 5

im sure gta 6 is just a lucid dream in the R* offices

[old marlin]

surely gta 6 will be good

[severe phoenix]

xx.com is an available domain

Go for it

[old marlin]

how much is it

[latent mural]

yeeee!!

surely

[severe phoenix]

like 380,000$ or something

[latent mural]

elon musk is gonna buy it

[old marlin]

time to buy

[severe phoenix]

But Musk would probablyh pay you for it

IF you buy it now

[ashen spindle]

well now that kepler posted it publically time to actaully set up some emails to myself for in 6 months and see how much of all current leaks are true

[severe phoenix]

He'll pay you 10x what you paid

So it's worth it to do whatever oyu gotta

[ashen spindle]

was fun to do that with last gen predictions lol

[severe phoenix]

lol

[latent mural]

well the X guy on twitter got shafted and they just stole his name so i doubt it

[ashen spindle]

you mean like musk paid the guy whos handle was @ x yeah

[latent mural]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

paid him by adding a lot of numbers for free

[latent mural]

i heard he also tried to rename paypal to x

[old marlin]

no

[latent mural]

but the board members said no or smth

[old marlin]

paypal was x

[latent mural]

ah

why didnt he just choose TwitterX

[ashen spindle]

he had a company called x

[latent mural]

this way nobody would care

X on its own is so edgy

[ashen spindle]

wait a second let me find a good thread I saw about it

[old marlin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal

[latent mural]

on zuck's #ad #threads app right?!

[old marlin]

was confinity

was fused with x

became paypal

[ashen spindle]

https://twitter.com/garius/status/1683808576328937472

John Bull (@garius)

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.

And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.

Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

[old marlin]

at this point i'm not sure what companies elon musk has built that are succesful with a lot of direct involvement

feels like a needle in a haystack

[ashen spindle]

yeah, turns out the x thing was literally old and related to an ex-project of his he cant stop thinking about

oh rip work meeting over guess I gotta do my prediction mail to myself later

[ashen spindle]

nvm other thing got cancelled, wrote my email, time to see how accurate the info I scraped together was in 6 months

[cursive summit]

Good, stop using Mac

[marsh glade]

What's that meme about the last place finisher being the most excited and chewing on their medal?

[reef patrol]

I'm on the board, bitches!

[raw zephyr]

i'd like to go one year, but it's quite the distance

qhlan would be more feasible

[sharp badger]

I noticed that the S23 is quite compact compared to the Zenfone 10 & the S23 have a telephoto lens, it's even smaller than the Pixel 7a with the 7a having worse battery than the S23 , The Zenfone and Pixel feel like worse deals? https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone1=12082&idPhone2=12380

[cursive summit]

Hmm https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.01516

LK-99 can't get confirmed soon enough

I wonder how it would change modern day hardware

[ashen spindle]

most likely not at all, less likely some small changes on compact scales

[cursive summit]

What https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/15humo1/bro_played_a_major_role/

Elon, what are you talking about

[ashen spindle]

ahahhaha

looking at old mlid videos from 2020/21 is amazing now

how wrong those predictions were

[cursive summit]

First time?

The fact the guy continues to make videos and continues to get attention is borderline criminal

[ashen spindle]

I know usually old videos with really bad ones get deleted by him though

[pale sigil]

Who

[cursive summit]

I remember when he tried to get into game leaking

Got it wrong twice, never tried it again

[old marlin]

lol

I have been more successful in peripheral leaking

[ashen spindle]

that was his old expectation lol

[cursive summit]

With hardware shit I think it makes sense for him to just continue to BS his way into "having insider knowledge" cause people just forget wtf he talked about

[pale sigil]

Oh

[ashen spindle]

4k60 by APUs lmfao

[old marlin]

[ashen spindle]

strix halo will be good but not that good

[old marlin]

1080Ti level APUs

[cursive summit]

It actually makes sense for 7800XT to be 999$ considering current XTX is kind of not much better than 4080

[cursive summit]

That is a possibility

Give them a good amount of CUs and they will rip

[old marlin]

it's also possible that we get wiped out by a meteor before the next gen drops

[cursive summit]

We just haven't seen a proper ass good APU with like 60 CUs yet

[ashen spindle]

you cant cool that on an apu or feed the bandwidth for that

enjoy your 350w gpu+300wcpu in one tile

and not soldered memory

[cursive summit]

Does 1080 even do 4K45 nowadays

Pretty sure it is only just good enough for 1440p

My 5700 is kind of 1080 level, and Baldur's Gate 3 it's stuggling to do 60 on max

[ashen spindle]

4k lmao

hey he almost got it right

just off by 2/3

[old marlin]

like logitech having a 2khz wireless mouse in the works

[ashen spindle]

you should make youtube videos now about it daily and change only one piece of infor and milk that for months

its free ad revenue

[old marlin]

that data has been public for 5 months now

so uhhh

no thanks

[ashen spindle]

so? thats how most yt leakers work

take info from twitter and repacakge it twice per week

[old marlin]

idk yt leakers

also that is straight from fccid

mouse leaks are either fcc, korean equivalent, korean/chinese news site messing up

because they index their images stupidly

or just straight up samples getting sold somewhere

[ashen spindle]

Get chatgpt to make you a bit that scrapes the sites daily, make a video daily to the mouse audience and you have free revenue from saying nothing of value

[old marlin]

happens surprisingly often with logitech

even got one of those myself

tl;dr: g705 sucks ass and is overpriced, don't buy

[ashen spindle]

My burst pro is still fine so I’m not looking for anything new atm

[latent mural]

whoever dropped this must think people are low iq

[ashen spindle]

Well yes

Also it’s from like 2 or 3 years ago

[old marlin]

why would it suddenly go up by two steps

it makes no sense

[latent mural]

why would they make such a chart 2-3 years ago

you can not fucking predict shit like this especially with gpus

[old marlin]

also

[ashen spindle]

I mean you kind of can if you have actual sources

[old marlin]

3090 4k120

[latent mural]

no you dont

[latent mural]

i mean if you count in DLSS sure but at that point 4k isnt 4k

[old marlin]

well

if you have sources

you can

[ashen spindle]

Until stuff like rdna3 issues appear but that doesn’t change what the plan was if it not had silicon issues

[old marlin]

that is the thing

[ashen spindle]

Companies don’t just make gpus and hope it’s better lol they have performance targets early on

[old marlin]

also typically the thing with the cards performance all being a tier higher in comparison to last gens equivalent model is still holding true

[latent mural]

ofc they do

AMD was funny with the 7900xtx when they literally lied about performance

imo thats the main reason it failed

[old marlin]

predicting 2 gens in the future is tho

[latent mural]

the 4060ti is slower than the 3060ti sometimes

[old marlin]

yes

because vram bs

[latent mural]

uh no

its because of the 128bit bus

[old marlin]

notice the "typically" that is bold and italic

[latent mural]

I do

[old marlin]

guess why I wrote it that way

[latent mural]

damn before all of these launched i expected the 4070 to be 499 and match the 3090ti

but in reality its slower than the 3080 sometimes

[old marlin]

well making price predictions is impossible

[ashen spindle]

I mean companies changing names like 408012gb or cutting memory bus isnt really something you should factor into leaks/predictions

[old marlin]

at this point

also nvidia cucking people with vram should be expected since the 3070

[ashen spindle]

rdna3 failed because it literally failed something in post-si validation, doesnt mean the early performance leaks were wrong if thats literalyl what amd themselves thought it would do

that just means even the best info can be wrong until the product is out

[latent mural]

its not about the leaks with rdna 3

they went on stage

and said its 50-70%

vs 6950xt

and it was 30-40% at best

in VR it was even slower

[ashen spindle]

them showing bad benchmarks or w/e isn't the reason it isnt doing great though

[latent mural]

lol?

dont u think that set expectations and disappointed everyone?

[ashen spindle]

if they had said 30% gains even less people would have cared

[latent mural]

wrong, people would've known what to expect

if you fucking lie about your shit it's bad

[ashen spindle]

yes, but that doesnt mean you would have had more sales if you said its 30% more from the start lol

people arent buying it because its not a bigger uplift, regardless of what was said or not

[latent mural]

if it was the actual uplift they said it would've been the best card released for rasterization this gen

[ashen spindle]

you are saying if they had come out and sold it as a 30% uplift more people would have bought it

[latent mural]

i didnt say that, i just said it failed because expectations were set too high and i forgot to mention the price

this thing should've never been a 7900 to begin with let alone 1k

[ashen spindle]

its the top sku so why not call it a 7900

there isnt a bigger gcd

[old marlin]

yea by the time the name was chosen they knew they wouldn't have time to make a higher tier card

and they know there won't be something like the 590

[latent mural]

it was fucky tbh but i still cant take that they knowingly lied about raster gain and especially RT gains

it was the same way jensen came on stage and said the 2080ti is 5 times faster than the 1080ti

[ashen spindle]

I mean sure but I think nvidia lies the same when they show comparisons that are dlss3 and dont disclose that until after

[latent mural]

they do disclose it

they never lied this blatantly

[ashen spindle]

usually, there was one where it wasnt show until after

both companies should stop that, I dont think it really changes much for either one though

[latent mural]

if AMD would've not lied and priced it at 850 where it belongs nobody would've complained

at that much of a price gap the RT and the other features would probably not be worth it to most people

[ashen spindle]

uhh yeah not just because RT is behind doesnt mean they can price it that low lol

[old marlin]

the other features

[latent mural]

nvidia has a lot of cool ai stuff

[old marlin]

which most people never touch

[latent mural]

never touch or not, people still choose 4080 over 7900xtx at 1000 vs 1200

[ashen spindle]

why would they price it 850 when the 4080 is 1200

[latent mural]

if it was 850 vs 1200 it would not happen quite like this

[latent mural]

so that it fucking sells?

[ashen spindle]

it sells though

[latent mural]

no it doesnt lmao, i bet even the 4080 outsells it

even hardware unboxed recommended the 4080 over it

[old marlin]

yea

but that is with people being

[ashen spindle]

ok but that is to be expected anyway lol

[old marlin]

steam hardware survey says 0.45% for the 4080, 0.17% for the 7900xtx

which is relatively good for amd

[ashen spindle]

why should amd go that deep in margins or maybe even sell at loss when they could just sell less at better margins

[old marlin]

because "the drivers are worse"

[latent mural]

sell at a loss?

[ashen spindle]

and it sold enough that the xtx was sold out on launch days and on days after

amd wants to make money not have market share while not making money lol

if amd can sell 10 cards for a gain of 1$ eacher or 1 card with a gain of 15$ it's quite simple what they'd rather do

and lowering prices likely isnt making that many more sales than the margins are losing

[ashen spindle]

Well even ignoring inflation prices, stuff is not getting cheaper anymore in that scale production sadly

Nah just the raw silicon is costing more, more pcb layers etc.

Not 1:1 of course but it’s a thing

And chiplets are making it better, just not as much if the product got big bug xD

And intel being the weird uncle on the side nobody wants to talk to

[halcyon willow]

How much is AMD paying you

I want in

[cursive summit]

Prolly sponsoring whatever VR game he's making

That Radeon cash be hitting different

[crimson wigeon]

How much are they paying you to not implement DLSS x d?

[thorn cypress]

lying when it's not necessary is just so stupid

[halcyon willow]

AMD has made some good products. 5800X3D, 7800X3D, Threadripper CPUs

But ain’t no way I’m saying all of that without someone paying me lol

And I wouldn’t do the same with Intel or Nvidia lol

[cursive summit]

Eh?

7000 series X3D parts are a bit weird

5800x3d is god tier however

[cursive summit]

This argument makes no sense though, you just said it and didn't get paid?

[ashen spindle]

Im on a 4090 amd can’t give me money to switch this gen lol

Not sure how amd is paying me when I’m complaining about them anyway but sure

[astral haven]

And it's more radeon and arc that are having major issues not AMD and intel

Yup

[astral haven]

Fkn yay

[gusty kiln]

I mean another 5700XT wouldn't be so bad

[crimson wigeon]

Oh

[cursive summit]

Polaris unequivocally was the best GPU gen so far

Small tiny cards with enough power to do 1080p

And they were cute too

[astral haven]

Except for dropping support for older systems -_-

[ashen spindle]

If it's done well I'd rather have rdna4 be good in low/mid range than broken the entire stack like rdna3

but ofc ideally I would have loved the big big gpus

[astral haven]

Agree completely

[cursive summit]

AMD seems to be shooting their own foot with this generation

[gusty kiln]

hoping they catch up to nvidia in terms of efficiency

[cursive summit]

The GRE launch threw a major curveball into the product stack

7900XT has no clue where it wants to position its value, it fluctuates constantly

[ashen spindle]

gre does nothing

[cursive summit]

The GRE is now 649$

[astral haven]

GRE isn't available in the us...

And it's goddamn slow

[cursive summit]

It's launched globally

[ashen spindle]

gre is a product that is china/oem and some are coming to retaielrs but not really

[cursive summit]

And now they are launching 7800XT

Which will be far slower than the GRE

[astral haven]

Ignore the gre

[cursive summit]

But they obviously can't price it around 649$ at all

Like, how do you price the 7800XT?

[astral haven]

The gre was built for export restrictions

[cursive summit]

499$?

[cursive summit]

And is a global launch

Not china only

[astral haven]

No just make it faster than the gre

[cursive summit]

But it's not

I saw some articles say that the GRE trades blows with 6800XT in some cases

More akin to 6950XT

[halcyon willow]

All of what he said

[cursive summit]

7800XT is so scuffed spec wise that it's like RX 6800 perf at best

[astral haven]

A person who is 5 foot tall will run faster than someone who was 6 foot tall and the bottom 10% of them was sliced off

The gre is a reaction to export restrictions

Ignore it, it's not part of the product stack

[cursive summit]

7800XT has not that much more stream processors than a 5700XT

[astral haven]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/a800-pcie-40-gb.c3964

[ashen spindle]

different uArch, doesnt matter

[cursive summit]

Navi 32 was it?

Which should be a lot worse than 31

[ashen spindle]

what

you are comparing rdna3 vs rdna1

[cursive summit]

I'm comparing GRE vs 7800XT

And how 7800XT makes no sense

GRE already is a questionable value

[astral haven]

Spec for spec this GPU is identical to the a100 @cursive summit
Yet it's 20x slower worst case

[cursive summit]

How are they planning to price the 7800XT is beyond me

[astral haven]

It's nerfed to meet export restrictions what part of that doesn't make sense to you?

[cursive summit]

GLOBAL LAUNCH

Available worldwide

It's not a china only SKU

[astral haven]

Just because you can buy it does not mean that you should

They launched it globally to not make the Chinese feel excluded

[ashen spindle]

its a china sku that non-china can buy but nobody is doing

[astral haven]

Or somethinf

[ashen spindle]

maybe some oem wanted it idk

you wont really see it anywhere

[cursive summit]

The mere fact that the GRE is already questionable at 649$ while being spec-to-spec far superior to 7800XT makes no sense to me

6800XT was a 650$ card

Are they planning to make the new 7800XT 500$?

[astral haven]

The US government put a cap on the compute power and complexity of chips that you can export and the 7800 XT very well could be significantly higher than the limit

[ashen spindle]

hwo do you know it is a spec to spec better card without knowing the 7800 specs?

or did amd release clocks in the last hours I didnt look

[astral haven]

The a800 is spec for spec identical to the a100 yet is 20x slower

[cursive summit]

These specs look really weak

[astral haven]

Vex

[ashen spindle]

HuB I think said they have a gre coming in from a local vendor so just wait and you will see

[cursive summit]

I've seen GRE benchmarks already, they were mediocre

For the price they are charging it

That's why I am even more annoyed that the 7800XT is launching and it's spec wise inferior to the GRE by a lot

Again, if they are launching 7800XT at like 500$ where it makes some sense

What about 7800? 7700 series?

I'm guessing AMD is not planning to launch any other cards other than the 7800XT and wait until Navi 4

[astral haven]

Why would Nvidia launch the a800?
It's the exact same story

[pale sigil]

Why would Nvidia launch a 4060?

[ashen spindle]

isnt the 7800 if those specs are right having like 40% higher clocks? that matters lol

[astral haven]

To slaughter the a770 and because laptops

[cursive summit]

Aren't Radeon cards typically unresponsive to OCs, and highly undervoltable?

I'm not sure what kind of performance difference you can expect with 1880MHz vs 2255MHz game clock, when the specs difference is massive

5120 stream processors vs 3840

[ashen spindle]

how does that even relate

[cursive summit]

The more CUs the better

[ashen spindle]

how does undervoltable relate to clock speeds not mattering

[cursive summit]

Cause I've not seen anyone actually do well with Radeon overclocking

Everyone just slaps a good undervolt and that's all the perf gains you'd ever need

400MHz clock might not be that much perf that you gain by losing a shit ton of CUs

[ashen spindle]

I think you are confusing something here, OC above of what you put as normal clocks and scaling within the clock target is a massive difference

[ashen spindle]

memory pc is the exclusive OEM for the card here

never even heard of that shop before

also meh, i can and do carry most of 200wh in 2 batteries in my backpack at all times

i just want the speedy cpu in the smol device

[sharp badger]

Good luck flying with that 😅

But yeah would like that too

[astral haven]

did it all the time

its singular batteries that they complain about

i had my laptop with a 87wh, a 20ah and a 27ah battery and i took it on like 8 flights

[sharp badger]

Ok 🤔 👍

[astral haven]

the tsa limits individual batteries

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1731875-REG/shape_mvp99_2_mini_v_mount_99wh.html

[sharp badger]

When i tested the ROG Ally it felt really nice to play, the rumble motors, sound, feel etc. kinda brought one back to the PSP times but better. But there's so many handheld options out and would like the battery to be bigger(Powerbank does solve this) and potentially a better APU(8000 series?) that would be more efficient and ofc the problems of the Ally to be solved

[astral haven]

yea a 16c 8p8c or even 12c 4p8c with a huger gpu would be sweet

[sharp badger]

Also some more USB ports would be nice but not necessary

[astral haven]

usb4 pls

god im now really wanting a surface laptop studio

but they are so spensiv

does the 3050ti support the video upscaling 🤔

[ashen spindle]

my 4090 still refuses it so roll the dice

[astral haven]

the surface studio is so sexy but it isnt 120hz :/

[gusty kiln]

is that the one with the weird knob?

[astral haven]

the knob is an accessory

its supposed to work with all the surfaces

[gusty kiln]

ooo didn't know that

[astral haven]

the studio is a 28 inch 3:2 touchscreen that can position itself at whatever angle you wish and is relatively solid wherever you set it

but its insanely expensive

those 3 usb c are all thunderbolt 4

i wish someone made a vesa mount for it , or if you could attach a vesa mount to the underside of it but so be it

i also wish i could afford it

lol

would also be nice if had a solid cpu

jesus christ
almost -3db SINR

Really happy with the quality of this contact frame, there was some Thermal paste and a Torx bit with the kit and colourwise it'll fit perfect with the motherboard (Even if it's not visible)

[thick elk]

Better thermals do not require overclocking, especially not on intel

[astral haven]

https://youtu.be/0qbrLiGY4Cg
Multi trillion dollar company tortures repairman (2023 colourized)

[thick elk]

Damn intel has a lot of employee's, sure it is a bit more vertically integrated than the ohter two with the fabs as well, but even if those were to have just as many employees as TSMC ( they really should not ) it would still be a lot more and more than Nvidia + AMD combined.

That being said employee count does not tell the whole story

[ashen spindle]

tsmc has like 70k in 2022 and I think total wafer output of intel is higher with older nodes

[thick elk]

Must have looked up old data when they were still at 60k, still they have a lot of people working there.

But comparing the two is not always valid, even looking at revenue, intel definitely does more in-house

[halcyon willow]

I think the contact frame is better for a 7000 chip

And one made of plastic

[ashen spindle]

nah the frame is mostly for intel cpus bending socket

I think for direct die or so it makes it easier?

Idek how they'd translate the UI design over to Windows

It's too MacOS to look good on Windows

On the plus side...it'll fit right in on Gnome desktop in Linux !!

Cause gnome shares a lot of UI design with MacOS these days

Except the overview
Gnome overview is God tier

I do make the previews at the top bigger though

Why TF is the first screenshot using the old theme

Strange

The second one is the new theme preview

[ancient anvil]

I did not know this existed tyyy

[final flame]

Mine still looks broken

[wheat plume]

I actually forgot how it's meant to look xd

[ancient anvil]

I have completed my windows ricing journey

[final flame]

first time seeing someone use a web toolbar that isn't a virus

[ancient anvil]

Thanks i consolidated the tab bar with OneBar for Firefox which is CSS & got tabliss which requires no permissions and only modifies the new tab page because i wanted it black and it also had some cool widgets. Also made the taskbar black to go with it all.

[fossil hamlet]

hey guys , i bought a wooting 60HE, and when i plugged it into the pc. it wont turn on

do i have to install a hardware first or anything?

[ancient anvil]

Are you using the cord that came in the box with it?

[fossil hamlet]

yes

[ancient anvil]

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-windows-10-turning-usb-devices

Make sure you dont have selective suspend on, if that's turned off maybe try another port

Also if you have another PC or a console you could plug it into maybe try that just to narrow down if it's a problem with the keyboard or a problem with the PC.

[fossil hamlet]

hey
i tried laptop and its still the same issue
it will not turn on
no lights, USB says nothing is connected
i tried trouble shooting as well and it says i have the bootloader error ID

[ancient anvil]

Maybe try to load it up in wootility on the web or the desktop app, but if it's not showing up on 2 different devices it could be the cord or the board. Maybe reach out to support and see if they have any tips or can help you.

[fossil hamlet]

i tried the cord with another keyboard

and it was fine

its just the board does not respond

its also my first time plugging it in

[ancient anvil]

Yeah i would reach out to support, the keyboard doesnt really need a driver and will work driverless on windows/linux. Support may want you to install the driver to see if any signs show up in there. I would say check device manager but if it's happening on multiple PC's that's not super likely to be the problem unless you're running some sort of obscure optimization script that broke something.

https://help.wooting.io/en/

@fossil hamlet You can scroll down to the bottom of that page and click "chat with us" or "send us an email" but to me it sounds like it either needs firmware flashed or was doa.

still try downloading the wootility app and seeing if it can detect it, that would probably be how you would flash firmware if it's detectable but not working.

[fossil hamlet]

unfortunately it doesnt detect it

[ancient anvil]

Contact support or send them an email they will be able to take care of you and i dont really see any reason why it wouldnt be covered under warrranty.

Icloud coupling is strong

[ashen spindle]

https://t.co/2piPAmdRoO no real info about it yet but I reckon this would be the gen that has to give them a win over Nvidia to become important in DC/AI

[cursive summit]

To the unitiated

How's MI400 and Nvidia's H100 different?

Are they for completely different purposes? Not-competing products?

[ashen spindle]

Mi400 does not have an info in public outside of the name now

That’s next gen

[cursive summit]

Well Mi300 then

[ashen spindle]

That’s an APU

[cursive summit]

Is AMD directly competing with Nvidia with Instinct

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[cursive summit]

Or are they releasing products for different types of enterprise

[ashen spindle]

Mi300 has multiple skus you can make by having different chiplets

[cursive summit]

How does AMD compare to Nvidia's new offerings actually

I think I remember seeing some people say that in enterprise AMD's a much closer match to NV than they are in gaming

[ashen spindle]

Hyperscalers love mi300

RAW data comparisons will be later since it’s not deployed yet

But the next two supercomputers will be using this and online early next year

This is kinda like intels Ponte Vecchio but very good instead of very bad

https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/report-nvidia-has-practically-stopped-production-of-its-40-series-gpus

Again, source: MLID

Why does this shit always reach my feed

Doesn't really make much sense to me for them to stop producing 40 series when people still buy them even though the value is horrible

Although, maybe they just overproduced?

[ashen spindle]

How much do you think an h100 sells for currently

[cursive summit]

Sales are definitely lower than expected for 40 series

They prolly think they can keep up with demand with existing stock

[ashen spindle]

H100 uses the same wafers, don’t have the size numbers but should be a little bit above a 4090 die and uses hbm

Take a guess what that sells for

[cursive summit]

Considering it's enterprise, a few hundred grand?

[ashen spindle]

50k ish

[cursive summit]

The whole massive rack?

[ashen spindle]

One h100

[cursive summit]

Don't those come in racks that Jensen showcased at some point

Someshit like this

Couldn't even lift it up

[ashen spindle]

Those are options yes

But they don’t get cheaper lol

H100 is one of those cards

So if they are constraint on anything it makes perfectly sense to make no rtx cards relatively lol

[cursive summit]

If TSMC's fab cap is not really enough to fully fulfill everyone's demand

Why not fallback on Samsung fabs for gaming?

[ashen spindle]

Wafers are not the limit

It’s packaging

Substrates etc.

Also lol go back to Samsung and Ada is worse than rdna3

[cursive summit]

Yeah but it'd also hopefully be cheaper than it is right now so, whatever

Anything up to 4080 could be on Samsung dies

4090 is basically a Titan anyways so people will buy them for productivity, keep that on TSMC

[ashen spindle]

Again wafers are not the limiting factor

[latent mural]

Picking Samsung for Ampere was their worst choice

the 3090ti proves it the most how fucking inefficient it is

sometimes you can take a 3090 overclock it and make it pull less power while matching the ti

[ashen spindle]

was a great choice or else we woudl have had even more expensive and less cards during covid

[latent mural]

from an efficiency stand point it was horrible

Ampere never really had pricing issues, the issues you are talking about are the scalpers

[ashen spindle]

but on tsmc we likely would have had pricing issues even without scalping

as well as lower amounts so even worse scalping

[latent mural]

idk what shipping issues you are on about but in EU or atleast my country it was just not possible to get one

so for me i would've liked tsmc

the only ampere gpu that was obtainable for me was the 3090ti and thats what i got

[ashen spindle]

where did I say shipping

[latent mural]

my bad i meant pricing issues

by unobtainable i mean insane prices

3090s were 5000 euros and 3080s were 2-3k

[ashen spindle]

ampere on tsmc =base price higher and we have less volume, less volume = scalped prices even higher

[pale sigil]

Mum just said being close to the tv ruins your eyes

I'm like, mum, you bought me my first VR headset that literally glues the screen to my eyes.

[halcyon moss]

... Sigh.. That's not how it works, focus point is not close

[hardy idol]

need new webcam tips

[reef patrol]

On setup... or purchase?

[empty wren]

Only if stare it for long hours every day for many years will it relax your eyes and make you near sighted, but that has nothing to do the screen at all

the fact that they had a booth there at ltx with the he1 out

[ashen spindle]

there is no way you can properly appreciate that on a showfloor surely

[sour folio]

timestamp?

[final flame]

the entire video is about it

[sour folio]

oh

[cursive summit]

No reason why you wouldn't be able to

HE-1 is a whole ass system rather than separate parts

[final flame]

it's open back on a open showfloor where there's a lot of background noise

[cursive summit]

As long as mentally you aren't elsewhere, you can play anything an appreciate the quality

[final flame]

detail is lost when you're in a noisy environment

[ashen spindle]

didnt say you cant notice the quality just seems a bit of a waste vs doing it in a side room or so

[cursive summit]

Can't wait until Fym and Doge starts to argue and all hell lets loose

[final flame]

Ironically me and vexx are more similar in opinion
Vexx just hates bass with a passion

and loves akg

[cursive summit]

I don't no

Don't get it twisted

I don't hate bass itself, and can appreciate a good track with solidly tuned bass

I hate products that are made with bass in mind, e.g "bass boosted"

It's the stupidest shit ever that just sacrifices the precious details for the sake of boom

[final flame]

how much boost would you say is too much + how many decibels

and at what frequency

[cursive summit]

I have no clue mate

The bass I currently experience with K702s off of a Schiit stack is enough

That's why we love you here

Welcome to the "diss schiit" club, you were nr. 1001013131 entrant!

[final flame]

schiit has some good shit

[cursive summit]

It was obvious darling, you were far from the first one to make that pun

[cursive summit]

Some peeps for some reason greatly dislike them, for no real reason

Well, QC has been called into question, for valid purposes

Other than that, it's a great company

[final flame]

The only thing to really hate about them is availability
if you're not in the US good luck

[cursive summit]

I got my stack off of Schiit's EU website lol

[final flame]

thankfully I live in one of the states they make them in

Strix looks really nice

I wonder if AMD will completely outdo Intel in their own "hybrid" game on their first try

[ashen spindle]

yes

[final flame]

cool, but I want consumer chips to be able to support more than 128gb of ram

that's what I want

[cursive summit]

Who are you talking to?

Wrong chat

[cursive summit]

Unless you are doing some sort of ML training or simulations, why would you need that?

[final flame]

chrome tabs

• adobe

what could be better

take a guess how many tabs I currently have open

;)

[cursive summit]

Have fun honey!

[final flame]

lol

[cursive summit]

I hope it's not more than 4

[analog sinew]

jesus

[final flame]

and it's still less than my moms amount on mobile

[latent mural]

they support 192gb of ram with 4 48 sticks

[final flame]

I use the infinite newtab page chrome extension to manage them
I should probably use something else to manage them

[latent mural]

i had more than that on 32gb and it was fine

[final flame]

afaik the actual memory controller on consumer cpus won't work with that amount of ram

[latent mural]

it does work

atleast on intel

[ashen spindle]

works fine just no high speeds

[latent mural]

also on chrome after 400 tabs it starts lagging

how did u get to 2100

I did 2600 on firefox but on chrome it seems impossible

[final flame]

some janky optimizations

[latent mural]

i see

consider firefox

tho it uses 2x more ram for me

[final flame]

aka restarting chrome and reloading the tabs in order to unload all the sites you haven't accessed

[latent mural]

ram usage with 400 tabs

[ashen spindle]

any browser will need some add ons to manage that

[latent mural]

thats over 8 days of on time too

[ashen spindle]

arc is basically chrome with pre set up plugins and settings

[final flame]

this is my current ram usage

32gb

[latent mural]

I have 64

thats quite a lot

[final flame]

idk discord is taking so much rn

[latent mural]

i found 32 was not enough for me

mine too

they updated it 10 days ago and since then it started ram leaking

this is my up time but even before it wouldnt cross 1gb

[final flame]

current uptime

[latent mural]

I had mine up for 36 days before and it never crossed 1gb

idk what they did to it

[final flame]

also brave has this many tabs

[latent mural]

oof 8c8t is that a 9700K?

[final flame]

so add that onto the total

[latent mural]

why do you need 2836 tabs tho?

even if ur lazy asf like me thats insane

[final flame]

... stuff

[latent mural]

do you have like 10 monitors or what

[final flame]

nah

[latent mural]

I had 4 ultrawides and even then I could only get to 5 instances of a browser

[final flame]

I just have a habit of opening tabs as I need them then keeping them open, this is several months of buildup

[latent mural]

i see

u should consider firefox for that too the tab management is better there

[final flame]

yea ik

[latent mural]

looks much cleaner

[final flame]

debatable

[cursive summit]

I wonder

What these are

[latent mural]

it beats this

[latent mural]

exactly what you see they are

[cursive summit]

Just innocent links eh

[latent mural]

i mean you can just say it idgaf

[latent mural]

9anime

my man

i like this guy

[cursive summit]

9anime is dead, btw

[final flame]

lol, I use it when I'm too lazy to download

[latent mural]

yeah i saw rip

[analog sinew]

people actually use that disgusting search bar in the middle of the screen

[cursive summit]

aniwatch is the new domain

[final flame]

yea domain change

[latent mural]

nyaa is also a good alternative

[final flame]

it's aniwave now

I use 9anime for when I don't want to download off of nyaa

[latent mural]

whats so wrong with it

[final flame]

I use a tv so anime resolution and quality doesn't matter as much as if I was using a monitor

since viewing distance

[latent mural]

I have a 4k monitor and i only do 4k anime tbh

[final flame]

4k anime doesn't exist

[analog sinew]

idc, I just really hate how it looks

[latent mural]

it does kinda

[cursive summit]

Never heard of that

[final flame]

nah it doesn't

[analog sinew]

I want my desktop wallpaper in the center

[latent mural]

it does

[cursive summit]

Not even crunchyroll does more than 1080p

[final flame]

all anime is upscaled anyways

[cursive summit]

I bet the lad uses the nvidia upscaling tech

For "4K"

[latent mural]

im not sure how they did this

but its on nyaa

and it does look better than the 1080p ones

[final flame]

well not even for 4k anime is usually drawn in 480 or 720 and upscaled to 1080
the only times there is going to be a native 4k version is if it's for a movie which is rare

[latent mural]

yeah prob that

[ashen spindle]

I would like to use upscaling in anime but sadly Nvidia is small indie company that can’t get it to work properly

[latent mural]

LOL

i never tried nvidia video upscaling, is it any good?

[final flame]

definitely not native, definitely upscaled

[latent mural]

yeah its not native 100%

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

Can’t tell you as it doesn’t work for me

now imagine pulling off the cooler from an am2 cpu that has never had its paste changed

time to get the flathead out and gently pry on a corner of a cpu while levering off the heatsink

[ashen spindle]

heh funny

he starts with 5 nodes in 4 years when originally was on about 5 nodes in 3 years

and now that is already out of memory and its not being hit

[pale sigil]

Just spent an hour working on moving my pc and cable tidying

no matter what i do im not happy with it

[halcyon willow]

Haha I’ve been there bro

But I finally got to a point where I’m happy with it, even with stock SF750 cables

[pale sigil]

i mean out of the PC

not internally, im proud of my internal work

😄

[halcyon willow]

Impressive

I appreciate people that care about that

[halcyon willow]

My little hotbox

ill be honest with you mate

after i replaced my aio a few weeks ago i could not be assed

lemmi find a pic

atm, its OK

but like, i could not be bothered

[halcyon willow]

What does could not be assed mean

[pale sigil]

could not be bothered

[halcyon willow]

I don’t know how you meant it lol

[pale sigil]

really old pic... there are now 3 white fans at the front and top back

cleanest i got it

[halcyon willow]

I don’t get it, are you not happy with it?

[pale sigil]

this? nah

[pale sigil]

this? i was

when i switched to air i kind of went past the caring phase of ahstetics, if i could id just sell the case and get a none glass panel

😄

[halcyon willow]

Both I like

[pale sigil]

irritates me

[halcyon willow]

You disgust me.

I expected better from you.

[pale sigil]

i could do a better job but at the time i was annoyed and just wanted it done

tbh

ik you are prob joking

😄

[halcyon willow]

I’m not.

[pale sigil]

actually

i did clean it up here, i remember

better idea would probably have the fan going to the top, but i remember having an issue.

Anyway

Back to the topic

best ive got so far

the wire on the floor will be nailed into the frame

tomoz

i just cant think of a decent solution and it kills me

this is is why i have such a desire to have my system nowhere near my desk or a NUC like system

[halcyon willow]

Is that cable management?

[pale sigil]

which?

[halcyon willow]

I don’t think so

🤢🤢

(No offense)

is behind that area the air handler or something?

[halcyon willow]

What did you do?

again

you dont wanna know

everything is hidden behind the subwoofer now

They’re not that different

😂

and monitord

also i tried different things within the hour

router is there while i wait for a new cable

as i need to move it to a more desirable spot for wifi

[halcyon willow]

You should get a cable raceway

Cables should be invisible from all angles

Anyone can hide cables behind things

Until they look behind your monitor

[pale sigil]

tbh i was considering it but i think im going to wait for a new desk

Not at that time

Glass mousepads seem to be the new thing

Not really sure why though, if you bend it too much, ain't it just gon shatter into a million pieces

I guess glass is really easy to clean, which is a good positive

[halcyon willow]

Why would you ever have the desire to bend a sheet of glass

If you did that you deserve microscopic shards of glass in your hands

Can’t tell you how much I hate that case and anyone who builds in it

Rip you say…

Is HDR a meme?

[latent mural]

not on an oled

i mean tbh any mini led with a lot of dimming zones will do ok

like the Odyssey Neo G9 49/57 or the Samsung QD-IPS/VA are some of the best

yeah OLED has issues with brightness but Mini LED has latency and response time issues with FALD on and it will have blooming on a black background with colors next to it

either way in the long term, Mini LED will do better than OLED until Microled comes out

[halcyon willow]

What’re the differences between those 3

[latent mural]

Microled is OLED with even quicker response times and no burn in thanks to inorganic pixels

and MiniLED is ips/va with dimming zones

i never owned MiniLED so I can't speak on that, I do have an LG C7/C9/C1/C2 which are all godtier for hdr

[halcyon willow]

MicroLED 4k 360hz 49” ultra wide?

[latent mural]

their are tvs with Microled iirc, but they are 50k or smth like that

[latent mural]

wont happen, not even in the next 10 years with these prices

[halcyon willow]

Yes it will

[latent mural]

OLED ultrawides/monitors cost as much as an OLED TV considering the burn in problem you would rather not do it

[halcyon willow]

We’ll call it the Doc Edition

[latent mural]

I wanted to get an Odysey Neo G9 after my qd-oled burnt in but I thought lets try 4k on a monitor first

and I did the right choice

[halcyon willow]

4k is a meme lol

[latent mural]

it is not

4K is much sharper

in terms of pixels 1080p to 1440p is 1.7x more and 1440p to 4k is 2.25x more

4k ultrawide/super ultrawide> 1440p OLED for monitor any day for me

[halcyon willow]

What about 1080 to 4k

[latent mural]

4x

[halcyon willow]

Oops

[latent mural]

I have 4k and 1440p side by side, 1440p is pixelated asf and looks blurry

[halcyon willow]

Spoiled brat

[latent mural]

Think about it like having a game with blurry AA vs a game with no such issue

[halcyon willow]

But still

Is it really that noticeable

[latent mural]

yes lol

[halcyon willow]

Like I’ve been gaming on 1080p or less my whole life

I’d kill for a 1440p panel

[latent mural]

its 163 PPI for a 27 inch 4k monitor iirc

107 PPI for a 27 inch 1440p monitor

and 84 for a 25 inch 1080p monitor

yeah microled measures in nano seconds

forgot to mention that

[halcyon willow]

Still too slow

[latent mural]

wow

dont crt and oleds have basically equal response times?

[halcyon willow]

I’m gonna wait for Wooting to have 8K hz

Then we’ll talk

8K Hz wont prob do anything for you especially on a sub 240hz panel

[halcyon willow]

It’s the placebo effect that will make a difference

[fickle ore]

panel has nothing to do what 8khz would effect or not

best to separate these topics

[latent mural]

the oled effect would do more imo

[latent mural]

i can't wait to see how 360hz oleds do

Samsung Electronics or Samsung Display

my bad

[fickle ore]

ye this is very pog

[final flame]

shame lgs woleds don't have the same color gamut that qdoleds can achieve

[latent mural]

yeah qd-oleds are better for hdr and more color accurate

[final flame]

yea I saw that

[latent mural]

shame they burn in faster

and the text clarity is even worse

[halcyon willow]

Explain yourself

[latent mural]

I saw that

[fickle ore]

yeah no, but LG's oleds are brighter and less suspectible to burn in right now.

[latent mural]

since when are lg oleds brighter?

i thought they at best matched qd-oled

[fickle ore]

since this year

[final flame]

I just want a option that doesn't have drawbacks
good brightness
high color gamut
hard to burn in
normal subpixel arrangement
etc

[latent mural]

vs 1st gen qd-oled or 2nd gen?

[latent mural]

that wont happen anytime soon, prob not even Microled will have normal RGB subpixels

[fickle ore]

Current offerings, not talking about future models. Might change if Samsung can do deuterium based MLA qd-oleds but they arent released yet or announced afaik

[latent mural]

tbh I don't think I'll change out my C2 anytime soon, ye it has slight burn in but idc

my AW3423DW had the black bars from 16:9 content on a 21:9 screen burt in and was really visible in game

that's why i got rid of it

[fickle ore]

the effects 8khz has on gameplay are statistical in nature, they do not need to be visible on y hz screen

[halcyon willow]

That’s why I need an 8khz Wooting

[final flame]

not necessary

[halcyon willow]

Then wait for an 8khz superlight

[latent mural]

8k on a mouse completely crushes battery life

[halcyon willow]

Sub 50g with a huge battery to compensate

[fickle ore]

Think I'll be using 2k or 4k on my FM ULX

[ashen spindle]

you had black bars burn in??? you had the part where the pixel is OFF burn in??

[latent mural]

you got one?

[fickle ore]

sometimes 8k if I play widow etc

[fickle ore]

I bought one its coming in 2 months lol

[latent mural]

no, its called uneven panel wear

[halcyon willow]

It’s quin 💀💀

[latent mural]

a part of the screen is brighter than other mostly but its really visible

mostly on gray

which is a huge issue

[ashen spindle]

did you do the regular pixel refesh and all?

[latent mural]

it does it on its own

this is expected behavior

[final flame]

Just because you have the highest end hardware doesn't make you good at the game
if you want real results then simply practice and play more
improving your hardware will only take you so far if your skill is terrible

[latent mural]

you can't just watch 16:9 content on a 21:9 oled and not expect this

[ashen spindle]

I mean I play a decent amount of 16:9 on it and have not had any issues so far

[latent mural]

that's why i think OLED is mostly irrelevant for monitor use especially for heavy users like me

[latent mural]

I had like 6h daily of 16:9 content on it from the 12 or more of usage

[final flame]

try harder

[ashen spindle]

hm okay most of the day I used it for coding not on 16:9 so I guess that was a lot more use on your side

[latent mural]

the way to prevent this is to have colors on the black bars, i think there is even an extension for it but i didnt bother

[latent mural]

mine got 2700 hours of usage in 6 months

[halcyon willow]

I’m trying

[ashen spindle]

is there a way to check the useage hours?

[latent mural]

yes

ControlMyMonitor has a sensor for that

[final flame]

people back in 2017 didn't complain about a heavy mouse or mousepad causing them to be bad
you work with what you have and work to make yourself better

[halcyon willow]

But you can try

[fickle ore]

Are you saying someone like 15 year old usain bolt should train in 1 kg weighing leather shoes?

[latent mural]

this is my 6 year old IPS usage

[final flame]

completely different comparison but alright

[latent mural]

its measured in hours

[halcyon willow]

Sounds like you’re avoiding

[ashen spindle]

looks like there is a servic emenu I'll just check in that real quick

[final flame]

budget gaming equipment has gotten good enough to where you can't complain about it's performance

[latent mural]

well this is an app which is easier than the service menu

[fickle ore]

Just saying that we dont know who can be good, and you're not gonna realize your 100% potential if you dont play on the best available hardware

[latent mural]

I could swap my AW3423DW cuz of the burn in warranty but I never really bothered to do it

@ashen spindle this is the app

some monitors or tv wont let u read it through the app but the AW34 will

my M28u for example wont let me see it

[latent mural]

nice

Do you have any DirtyScreenEffect on yours?

mine was pretty bad in that regard too

[ashen spindle]

not that I can notice

[latent mural]

lucky guy

[ashen spindle]

I imagine me running it at like 35% brightness helps

[latent mural]

I kinda want to make a warranty claim on mine and to try oled again but i doubt i will

[latent mural]

mine ran at 10%

[halcyon willow]

Slow type Glaxes

[ashen spindle]

return it and sell the new one at least lol

[latent mural]

Nah If i replace it, I might as well try it again

[ashen spindle]

I'm hoping I'll use this till some next gen tech is ready either without or with one replacement

[latent mural]

idk tbh OLED as a monitor sounds like a cool idea but in practice its terrible

this makes it even worse considering the text isnt even as good as 1440p ips because of the triangle rgb or woled pixels

especially now that im used to 4k

[ashen spindle]

that is not an inherent OLED issue though

[latent mural]

the subpixel issue no

[final flame]

best hardware is subjective
basically any "gaming" mouse is about the same in sensor performance now from all the top players
g305 is a great mouse and is budget
people have gone pro using heavy mice
144hz monitors have become commonplace and cheap enough
mechanical keyboards have also become cheap enough for almost anyone to be able to afford

if you are complaining about not being able become your best because you don't have the absolute top equipment
you need to set your damn priorities straight
better equipment will not make you better it only raises the possible skill ceiling
the amount of diminishing returns at the highest end is large and does not justify the price increase

[latent mural]

Imagine trying to justify price, I just click add to cart

[final flame]

look at the osu community
some of the most skilled players play on not the best setups
does that stop them from being the best?
