1 core from each CCD instead of just 1 whole CCD

astral haven
#

uh no it is 1 whole ccd?

marsh glade
#

I ended up picking this one up, bummed a buddy's amazon prime account to get the deal 😂

#

just with smt disabled

#

there was something else that has 1 core per ccd, not sure if that was OC setting or for something where you want more l3 per core but dont care about cross ccd latency or something

gusty kiln
#

I think it was on Der8uar's video

#

he was messing with a lot of settings

astral haven
#

i really wish that the x16 interface that msi used for 2 generations would come back

#

it had power, usb, sata, and pcie in one connector

#

hot plug 😬 good luck

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean it exists

#

Just dumb money

astral haven
#

hot plug for gpus outside of thunderbolt

#

[citation needed]

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean os might not like it, but pcie can do it

astral haven
#

and i mean that actually works

vagrant pagoda
#

You can hit swap pcie with a powered riser

astral haven
#

with a gpu

vagrant pagoda
#

Yes

astral haven
#

remember gpus have special considerations with regard to memory mapping

vagrant pagoda
#

My Tesla racks are hot plug

astral haven
#

yes but when you hot plug them, can you get display out?

#

or is it just compute

vagrant pagoda
#

There is no display

astral haven
#

bingo

vagrant pagoda
#

That's an os issue though not hardware

astral haven
#

yes and no

#

the hardware has to handle it

#

this is what happens if it doesnt init properly

#

the entire memory of the cpu gets scrambled

vagrant pagoda
#

Same reason that you can't attach and reattach GPUs to vms

astral haven
#

the way that gpus actually work is very very very very janky

vagrant pagoda
#

It sucks

astral haven
#

its not an os thing tho

#

the oses can handle hotplugging gpus

#

the problem is the pcie roots and the cpu's memory operations

vagrant pagoda
#

I should stick a quadro in there and try lol

astral haven
#

again tho you need your cpu to not panic when the memory that it was working on in the gpu is suddenly missing

vagrant pagoda
#

They show up as gpus

#

Just no monitors attached

astral haven
#

yes and no

vagrant pagoda
#

Everything that a GPU dose it can do other than displays

#

They work for physx

#

They do video decode

#

And you can force them to render

#

Via a windowed mode

astral haven
#

and what happens if you hot plug them while they are rendering 😛

vagrant pagoda
#

The app crashes

astral haven
#

bingo

vagrant pagoda
#

I know because my first cables where flaky

#

Windows kept going

astral haven
#

yep

#

so what would happen if windows were being rendered?

vagrant pagoda
#

Same thing as a driver crash

astral haven
#

eh not quite

#

maybe if you were somehow just having dwm.exe on the gpus

#

but the os is actually using the gpu to store the data for the window management, and if that is missing, the cpu requests the data, and doesnt know that it should be expecting to receive an exception, it will panic

#

and cpu panic is a bad time

crisp granite
#

first boot

#

fingers crossed

umbral heron
#

Remember to flip PSU switch ddrduck

crisp granite
#

did

#

fan is spinning, just waiting till the bios pulls up
first boots tend to be hella slow

ashen spindle
#

yup memory training first time takes a bit

crisp granite
#

ok it's been a while and still nothing

ashen spindle
#

did you flash latest bios onto it before?

crisp granite
#

it came out in september

#

don't see how the 7800X3D can't ship with support

#

also it has a built in bios flashback if I need to

ashen spindle
#

oh it was more about a later bios reduces the memory training times

crisp granite
#

meh
I can wait
although I think after fifteen minutes, probably cause for concern

ashen spindle
#

probably yeah

crisp granite
#

yeah it's been fifteen minutes

#

going to flash a new bios

it was painless

#

So uhm, OLED is wild when you do a side by side.

gusty kiln
#

oof that backlight bleed on the ips one

iron wave
#

I honestly didn't really notice until it was next to the OLED.

chilly cloud
#

i sure hope CES 2024 will announce some good third gen oleds

#

that dont cost a billion dollars

iron wave
#

They will probably cost several thousand.

#

I'm excited about miniLED, should be like OLED with less burning.

ashen spindle
#

nah we will get new gen qdoled we already know about some things and all

#

prices will go down but nothing majorly new

old marlin
#

we prob get some pretty good oleds before we get miniLED

iron wave
#

Some TVs have it though.

ashen spindle
#

mini or micro

#

if anything I'm more looking forward to QNED or similar that replaces oled without the burn in

iron wave
#

Yeah the burning is the worst part.

#

I was really excited about the HISENSE dual LCD thing.

ashen spindle
#

I mean sure its the worst part but isn't that big of a thing anymore already

astral haven
#

dual lcd is atrocious

#

you halve your light output twice to get pure white

#

so if you want a 1k nit screen, you need 4k nits on your backlight

pale sigil
#

A picture makes it look worse.

iron wave
#

I mean yeah that's always the case with everything.

crisp granite
#

why is this bios flashback being such a pain in the ass?

#

trying to flash launch BIOS

#

the most recent one isn't installing at all

unions destroyed huge companies before, in year 2023 I wouldnt be playing with them if I Were Tesla

severe phoenix
#

I wish my union had power besides protecting sexual predators

#

Seems about all they're good for these days

crude ridge
#

Indeed but still they can actually affect Tesla dramatically if they stand for their rights for more than 2 months in a row. Knowing Nordic people a lot due to my previous occupation, they dont play.

severe phoenix
#

Yeah, glad you guys got strong unions

#

US Unions are kinda...just there

#

To take

#

To steal

#

To cheat

#

Not benefit workers

astral haven
#

Welcome to a corporation oriented society

#

News about union wins only appear if they are insanely high profile, and the failures are broadcasted no matter how small...

severe phoenix

I mean my Unions batting two for two of getting attempted rapists their jobs back

And patting themselves on the back about it

#

Is there anyway to get yourself into the union as an admin? Cause it's really sounding like the company controls the union you have

Perhaps if they didn't literally harass management

Amazing something like this exists without any corners cut in today's market

severe phoenix
#

Lmao people really think Valve is pulling a scam with the LE

#

Not kidding you, it's like a huge thing now on news websites

#

Ever since the articles about Samsung sueing BOE and hearing BOE is Chinese, people think Valve pulled a fast one and fucked over people

#

Insanity

vagrant pagoda
#

It's almost like they made the LE first, then changed suppliers for the rest of the production

#

But also brand new phones have stuck/dead pixels

severe phoenix
#

Yeah

#

But just hilarious how people are l like "Yay Valve, Valve is awesome"

#

Then bam

smoky frigate
#

never trust companies I guess

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean valve has had issue with every hardware launch

#

This isn't new

#

Everyone already forgot about the fans

timber mantle
#

Conversely no one shits on Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo for invariably releasing a slim/OLED model after a couple of years.

#

Yet Valve is the devil somehow

hasty locust
#

So I have everything for PC except the PSU which gets here Tuesday, I already got the motherboard together and in the case, can I go ahead and build the rest and then put the PSU in last when it gets here ?

frozen ingot
#

if nothing obstructs potential cable management you want to do then sure why not

hasty locust
#

@frozen ingot ya I'm not sure if it would since its my first build, the case is lian li dynamic evo

reef patrol
#

I'd leave the CPU cooler uninstalled and the GPU.

#

Those two tend to block off power cables, making it much more difficult to get those in.

severe phoenix
#

he LE uses BOE screens and seem overwhelmingly to have dead pixels

frozen ingot
#

just be sure to check whether your cooler needs some kind of mounting plate on the back of the motherboard, might want to get that installed at least if you're going to screw in the pcb

wheat plume
#

BOE?

severe phoenix
#

And now wiht Samsung Sueing BOE after supplyign OLEDs to Valve, Valve isn't gonna be using them, so suddenly people feel ripped off

#

Panel supplier

wheat plume
#

o..

severe phoenix
#

My LE is BOE, no dead pixels

#

Luck of the draw I guess

fair gull
#

boe drama?

wheat plume
#

send pics,I wanna see what the transparent case looks like!

fair gull
#

so one of the 2 big screen manufacturers will just die now?

severe phoenix
#

I mean there's 10 million pictures already

#

That's what Samsung wants, but it's China

#

So unlikely to happen

#

It's fun though

#

HDR is impressive as hell

#

it actually has 800 nit full screen brightness

#

In HDR, which is better than a lot of peoples TVS

#

But also 7.4 inches so

#

I mean full scene brightness, as in highlights

ashen spindle
#

another case of valve oled deals ending in lawsuits dogekek its not a lot but its funny its the second time now

severe phoenix
#

Not just overall brightness

#

lol

#

Playing blasphemous, really good game for it, gets perfect scaling

#

Only thing is the game uses raised blacks...artistic choice

#

So you can't enjoy the OLED goodness for a lot of scenes :p

#

On the otherhand Persona 5 plays at 90FPS very well

#

Thing runs games a lot better than I thought

#

You can run Diablo 4 at 720p native with Low-med settings and a 45FPS cap locked, 90HZ refresh, looks really smooth.

ashen spindle
#

I mean you gotta remember P5 came out for the ps3 lol

severe phoenix
#

Yeah ,but it also has fucked performance on PC

#

Really just a stellar display

ashen spindle
#

ye its a nice upgrade

#

still not good enough for me to consider it though but I am quite positive the next gen with better SoC could be something for me

severe phoenix
#

Oh for sure

ashen spindle
#

just cba with non VRR screens anymore

severe phoenix
#

A Steam Deck 2 with OLED will be insane

#

2-3 years from now maybe

#

Valve likes to keep battery life in mind instead of power

#

As well they should

#

It's a handheld

#

Diablo 4 estimated around 5 hours on a full charge

ashen spindle
#

maybe gaben can ask microsoft to fund them antoher low power SoC havo

severe phoenix
#

ROG Ally runs it a little better, might be a stabler 60, but also gets like 1 hour and 11 minutes battery in comparison lol

#

Tethered to a wall is not very handheld to me

ashen spindle
#

nah i assume they either have enough interest now that amd is working with them to make some zen5C custom soc or they just way for zen6 which is where they make desktop chips without an io die again which is better for low power

severe phoenix
#

Meanwhile playing pixel based game like blasphemous it estimates 11-12 hours

#

Some real handheld performance there

#

Chages really fast too

ashen spindle
#

maybe we finally get some battery tech improvement by then too (lol as if)

severe phoenix
#

Maybe

#

Like MHW gets 1 hour on the ROG ally, Steam Deck OLED gets like 3 and a half

ashen spindle
#

yeah that's just from Z1 not being made for low power

severe phoenix
#

Yeah

#

the SD to me makes more sense if you want a handheld for playing on the go or at work

#

The Ally is kinda like...if you only play tethered

This will be my first build, idk what the temps will be yet

ashen spindle
#

oh I thought it was already done, nah doesnt matter much

frozen ingot
#

got mine placed on the bottom

#

Would the sound of it be dampened a bit more on the bottom

ashen spindle
#

it wont make much sound anyway

my psu fan isn't even on most of the time

sharp badger

And the O11D is able to house 2xPSUs anyway, wouldn't matter, only thing would be if one would like to use the Drive cage

hasty locust
#

OK, I did see something that said the cable management may be a little better top mounted

sharp badger
#

Maybe & make sure that the PSU fan is drawing air from outside the case

As long as my 24 pin rgb strimer still fits nicely too

this is my current pc, would it be good to get a 4060?

ashen spindle

it would not change much

you'd be looking at single-digit fps gains

bit more in some games especially with RT but just not worth at all for the price

ah fr?

i feel like i lag in a ton of games

And if you really want to upgrade, I wouldn’t bother unless you’re going for a 7900XTX or 4090

crisp granite

Check your networking

define laggy, whats the fps you are getting

crisp granite
#

Roblox is almost entirely internet connection based

#

And you have more than enough hardware for it

latent mural
#

i can check rn

ashen spindle
#

you have a 1440p screen, lower resolution to 1080p, if that does a lot then a gpu upgrade can help out

#

if it stays the same its not chaning much if you get a better gpu

latent mural
#

okay

#

will try rn

latent mural
#

so its def network

#

atleast i got that figured out lol

ashen spindle
#

network and/or cpu

#

online games is always hard to say what exactly it is

latent mural
#

i did lag like horribly on cyberpunk and msfs2020

#

like 60 fps max i think? this was a bit ago

ashen spindle
#

ok lagging and having low fps is a different thing

latent mural
#

yeah mb i get the 2 mixed up lmao

ashen spindle
#

60fps in msfs seems normal that game just runs like hell

#

cyberunk idk how it is nowadays but probably still same

latent mural
#

i think of lag as in the internet and freezing because of low frames

ashen spindle
#

ces in january likely shows a few new skus from nvidia that make more sense price wise then look at what you want to spend and maybe get something there

#

but just to 4060 wouldnt do much especially not for the price

latent mural
#

mk thanks

#

if you know a good thing that can improve my pc just lmk but ill look for something

ashen spindle

I mean there are better gpus they just cost more so depends what you want to spend

So like, I heard about glass mouse skates. How would they be good for gaming? Because, I heard they’re “more accurate” but wouldnt it be less accurate because you have no control on it?

zenith silo
#

But glass skates are bad for a different reason

#

After a few weeks they wear down and feel like shit

timber mantle
#

Plus they can wear out your pad more quickly.

#

Something to consider if you have an Artisan, LGG, or similar

i have obsidians too

#

They last long on glass?

boreal kiln
#

they're also pretty nice but compared to the jades on glass they're a lot more scratchy and noisy

tho obsidians will probably last long

#

My lamzu stock skates make it a few months before getting overly scratchy/feeling the difference

Quite loud but supposed to last a lot longer + feel great on glass

guys i need to know fast is there a limit on 497.29 (i think i have this driver) on hz working properly. 360 hz works fine, but on 390hz its flickering hard, so i send my monitor to shop they said its not flickering on 390, so i sent gpu they said the same thing, how is it possible? (cable was pushed in fully no gaps)
so if gpu and monitor separately worked in their tests at 390hz can it be that its my not newest driver?

Hi!
Figured I ask people here. Anyone knows any updates on direct analog input in Unreal Engine 5 (ideally 5.3, but I'll take what I can get 😛 )? I see this https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-analog-unreal-plugin old plugin, but nothing working on enhanced input and I really don't want to patch in an entire module.

Does the driver send only digital values and analog is possible only through integrating sdk into target software or is it possible to read analog input not masked as gamepad or mouse without any extra steps?

vagrant pagoda
#

Idk never saw it before

vagrant pagoda
#

You can get every key in 0-1 float range for the analog reading

solemn sierra
#

yeah I played with it a bit. My question is whether it's possible to achieve this without integrating wooting sdk into target software 🙂 thanks tho

vagrant pagoda
#

You could rewrite the SDK sure

#

But why would you?

Any of you have a preferred USB hub or are they all the same

thanks looking at them now

whats impressive tho is they actually do get the best performance

#

but the difference was so minute that i didnt bother for my cpu just my gpu

isnt that the new hotness everywhere

how do you repair something

its also a low amount of hardware in just one of these tanks

The team hypothesizes that the atmosphere of nitrogen, which is less corrosive than oxygen, and the absence of people to bump and jostle components, are the primary reasons for the difference. If the analysis proves this correct, the team may be able to translate the findings to land datacenters.

Or to be able to be used underwater they overbuild thier systems in such a way that the failure rates are lower, temperature is more constant and besides that dust and other particles are also not an issue in an enclosed space.

Actually pretty clear explanation of something I did not understand at all, now I know the intent at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3WzH2up7Os

Invest in a high quality pair of headphones and a good mic instead

latent mural
#

why would u buy a high quality mic

#

idc how good im being heard

tulip furnace
#

Hmmmm alright… the question still stands tho… which one. The 990 one everybody talks about?

astral haven
#

a high quality mic doesnt mean expensive

latent mural
#

it means more expensive then others

latent mural
#

quality often means more expensive

astral haven
latent mural
#

no cuz i dont care

astral haven

so shoo

tulip furnace

Well the mic I looked at was 150 or somethin

#

Blue yeti z

#

astral haven
#

yikes

latent mural
#

no its not

astral haven
#

if you dont care, why are you providing input?

#

but yes the rockband mic is besides the build quality and aesthetics a better mic

latent mural
#

he obv isnt gonna buy a rock mic when he wants a steaming/only talking

astral haven
#

if you want something that can be further away from you than either the generic logitech or the yeti,
https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/

#

the samson is not as good in terms of raw quality, however you can put it much further away and still get decent quality than either the rockband or the yeti

#

for headphones its personal preference, but the 990 pros are rather sharp

gusty kiln
#

HD560S is a pretty safe rec

astral haven
#

for cheap, the shp9600 are not fantastic, but they sound good enough, get embarassed by the 560s ofc but thats what 2x the price gets you

nah

slow for running your database servers maybe

empty wren
#

oh i do not do thatmm

#

oh and @astral haven have you ever successfully calibrated a display and if so what software did you use

astral haven
#

nope

#

i just use the rtings numbers or the hwub numbers in the display settings

empty wren
#

i see well thanks anyways

astral haven
#

and im a lucky SOB so ive been fine

empty wren
#

what issue did it have?

astral haven
empty wren
#

Jeez

#

Is sabrent decent?

astral haven
#

but also they sell the off the shelf fastest combo from phison usually

#

so you are getting the same performance from sabrent as from team group, kingston, crucial, siliconpower, inland, etc

#

i wish the inland premium would be good again 😦

astral haven
#

yup

#

also sells on amazon for some reason

empty wren
#

guessing acer predator is same thing as sabrent as well

astral haven
#

presumeably

#

but gotta check specs

#

some use cheaper nand, some use different controllers

empty wren
astral haven
#

.6-.7pbw/tb

#

mid tier nand

#

but the rest of the specs suggest top tier controller

empty wren
astral haven
#

its just the durability

#

how hard you can run it, and how quickly it will physically degrade

#

this doesnt include bugs like the 980 pro and 840 evo for example

empty wren
#

mage well awesome

#

might just look into sabrent then later

astral haven
#

the sabrent is also .7 PBW/tb

empty wren
#

sigh

#

guessing rocket is the same

astral haven
#

that was for the rocket 4 plus

empty wren
#

:S

#

well i guess it is affordable for a reason

astral haven
#

i mean thats not terrible

#

low tier is .2 to .3

#

and high tier is extremely expensive

#

maxes at 3 for tlc

#

optane is 100 tho

empty wren
#

ah it exponentially rises so that makes a ton of sense now

astral haven
#

yep

empty wren
#

low storage optane is also 100?

astral haven
#

i think the cheapest optane is rated for 10

empty wren
#

still sounds great even if not 100

astral haven
#

yea the 16gb optane is rated for 180tb

#

.18pb for 16gb

#

top tier mlc nand (that is actually qlc or tlc nand but used in a way that reduced storage space at the cost of vastly better lifetime) is 20

empty wren
#

makes sense it existed a time ago ad commericals then

#

7900m + ryzen is half the performance of 4090+intel on battery

#

Battery life wasn't tested in firestrike

But it was always worse

#

In their load test, both lasted less than an hour

#

41 vs 44 minutes

vagrant pagoda
#

oof

astral haven
#

The 4090 is ofc kneecapped with 13th Gen too...

gusty kiln
#

I thought the 7900M was competing with the 4080 mobile

#

not the 4090 mobile

astral haven
#

Yea but it isn't available in the same chassis yet

#

And the 4090 mobile is heavily kneecapped already

mild dome
#

If the amd at an appropriate price it should be fine

astral haven
#

Except it's not since it's performance competitive with a 4060 or 3070 on battery...

mild dome
astral haven
#

Hey if you want to use Linux tho?

#

I mean the nvintel will still be a better experience but you'll at least have an excuse to recompile the kernel on the Radeon side

mild dome
#

I had heard AMD is skipping a high end SKU for next gen as the multichip design isn't working out too well for the time being. Perhaps part of the reason at least is for this laptop performance cause golly geee that's bad.

ashen spindle
#

those two things are entirely unrelated

astral haven
#

I'll take quins word for it

#

But high end pc performance is super unrelated to how good you are at locking the performance off in a laptop

ashen spindle
#

the whole rdna3 stack's lackluster performance are post-tapeout issues somewhere in the silicon, the rdna4 big skus getting canned is that the time to market would be delayed because the packaging was not able to be solved in time and it's not a market like mi300 so it's more important to get next gen out in time

#

the multi chip thing is fine, N4c/n4x was dies on top of dies and that didnt make it in time, seperating it into different things wasnt the issue

astral haven
#

i thought that they were trying to go for a dual gcd?

ashen spindle
#

let me see if I can find the mockup someone made

astral haven
#

n3x

#

practically dual n32

ashen spindle
#

no there was n36 which was a bigger n31 and then there was the option to stack the mcds

astral haven
#

yea thats not what i was talking about

#

n3x was originally rumored at 16384sp dual gcd

#

before being cancelled

ashen spindle
#

rdna3 was never dual gcd iirc

astral haven
#

physically no

#

but that was what early rumors were for

#

and that was what i was waiting for

ashen spindle
#

I mean not any that came from people who had any real info

astral haven
#

🤷

#

its what i wanted, and since it didnt happen, i didnt buy

ashen spindle
#

like at that point there were already ids out for strix or navi41 but nothing about dual gcd, that was just some supreme hopium

#

huh multi images on the embed gets weird

ashen spindle
#

ya

astral haven
#

earliest navi 4 rumors i can find are december 2022

ashen spindle
#

may 22

astral haven
#

i mean actual info

#

shaders, memory, chip layout, bus width

ashen spindle
#

yeah sure but we had gfx ids for that already yet nothing on dual gcd n3x anywhere

#

if its a thing those things dont get added that late

astral haven
#

idk could have shared with single n32

#

if it ended up being the same die

ashen spindle
#

couldn't add it to llvm or similar unless they somehow magically made it so it needs absolutely nothing extra on code side

astral haven
#

🤷

#

point is that there was zero information to be gained from that

ashen spindle
#

it makes it very unlikely that they suddenly appear with a new sku when there is more info about the gen after it

astral haven
#

like 390x2 definetly didnt appear in llvm

ashen spindle
#

and there didnt seem to be any believable source

#

wasnt that just a dual chip essentialy doing on card crossfire?

astral haven
#

yes?

#

i want beeg gpu

#

and i know that n3x had core count rumors early with a 16k core flagship that vanished

ashen spindle
#

I mean same, I'm just saying that part never existed and the rumour didnt have any reliable source showing it

astral haven
#

sure

#

even if it got cancelled before even leaving the meeting room when brainstorming what to make, im still sad its gone

ashen spindle
#

I dont think it ever existed enough to get cancelled lol

astral haven
#

🤷 it still didnt happen, and it was theorized

ashen spindle
#

you say that yet I dont think anyone beside some not reliable twitter acount mentioned it anywhere

astral haven
#

again thats not the point

#

its gone
n20 was also snapped
and gfx1200 seems to be n44 now

#

I want a gpu that will drive 4k240hz
And the current rumors suggest that ain't happening in 2024

ashen spindle
#

sadly no

mild dome
#

With how poor game optimization has gotten I'd be surprised if we get 4k240Hz by 2100 Gamer_Gunk

umbral heron
vagrant pagoda
#

Thought you wanted it at 10.0.0.1?

#

But 100% they programed it for 192.168.x.x so you can't set DHCP for 10.x.0.0

#

Do you have enough devices you can't just use 10.0.10.0 and 10.0.0.0

umbral heron

Nah, moved it to 10.10.0.1, whole 10.0.0.0/16 block will be for DHCP

Yeah, but those foxconn boxes give you an opening experience you won't ever forget. I remember opening my first Macbook and seeing the ghosts Foxon's suicidal employee's flying out to forever haunt me until the end of my days. You don't get a better experience then that!
