@ashen spindle any laptop news?

late grove
#

I never thought I would say this but it's actually bigger than I expected (that's indeed what she said).

#

Based on reviews I thought it would be obnoxiously small to the point I can barely hold it. But no it's perfectly fine.

Why would you buy a wire for your wireless earbuds? it makes them impossible to slot into the case too

reef patrol
#

To avoid losing them obviously.

wheat plume
#

youd have to take the strap off and on every time you take and put them inti the case.....

#

which sounds anooying to do every time

ashen spindle
#

get a bigger case?

reef patrol
#

It beats paying 600 bucks for a new pair 😛

ashen spindle
#

you arent forced to use the case you buy them in

ultrawide sounds nice. im excited for the upcoming models. but idk if this tech will go anywhere for now

ashen spindle
#

those come in production late next year this would only be evaluated for commercial use next year

steep creek

lots of nice display tech, like this and qdel but yea we'll see if they make it to products

mhh pretty sure the tft central roadmap had the 4k ultrawide as Q4 25 product

steep creek
#

ohh 34" that sounds nice

late grove
ashen spindle
#

also those are panel production times so monitors would be the quarter after at the earliest

late grove

Actually no wait

I meant this one. This is the one I want.

Yes

ashen spindle
#

yeah but you can get custom cases

wheat plume
# pale sigil For jogging

yes, and I know that some sports earbuds alreayd have this wire to link them, but the charging case they come with accomadates that cable too, if you buy this cable for your wireless buds that dont have one already, you cant fit them in the case with the wire

To stop them falling to the ground

Every time I hit run or build on Windows I die a little on the inside because it takes like 10x as long as on Linux. .-.

ashen spindle
#

set up WSL then so you work on windows and build to linux dogekek

iron wave
#

Then I'd have to use my IDE in the weird Hyper-V container with X forwarding to the Windows window manager which just kinda sucks and has a bunch of subtle behavior differences.

#

Microsoft, contribute to WINE and switch from NT to the Linux kernel please.

#

After a little while of inactivity my uwu just resets its profile to the digital version, is there a way to disable that so it stays on the correct profile?

reef patrol
#

It shouldn't be able to do that, unless it loses power.

#

Maybe a USB configuration issue in your BIOS?

#

Or Windows.

trail orbit
# reef patrol Or Windows.

My main keyboard doesnt do it, only the uwu. It would change the profile back to the digital one once the rgb went into sleep mode (which I disabled) but the issue continues. Where would I check to look for those settings in windows?

iron wave
#

Try switching the cables to see if the behavior follows the USB port?

alpine patio
#

bro why is choosing parts for a pc so hard

#

ive been looking for hours and have made 0 progress

smoky frigate
#

the first question is what is your budget

#

if it's sub-1000 get a used PC for 200bux and jam a gpu in it

digital cliff
#

yeah start with a budget

#

then we kinda automatically know your cpu/gpu configuration and the rest is fluff

#

unless you're into them lights and cases with windows and shit, not to mention watercooling

fair gull
#

@astral haven just wanted to inform you that its now 100percent confirmed that its a cpu usb issue i ran into. usb via chipset works flawless like before with the focusrite driver

digital cliff
#

then you should just build without a budget havo

ashen spindle
#

find budget, make a spec list maxing out the budget then change it to fit to whatever looks you want

There’s sites with public benchmark stats to get a good idea on what that would be for ur budget

rough osprey
#

does a 3090 have any benefits over a 4070ti super other then more vram

pale sigil
#

Cheaper

#

Probably

iron wave
#

Less RT performance.

rough osprey
#

surpringsly not

pale sigil
#

Dlss would probably be better on the 4070ti

rough osprey
#

used prices are very similar

pale sigil
#

And you get FG

rough osprey
#

so would be a good swap for basically free?

umbral heron
#

DLSS3 is only on 40-series iirc

rough osprey
#

just for gaming

iron wave
#

The 40 card should have AV1 encoding.

#

DLSS sucks IMO.

umbral heron
#

Any upscaling solution does nod

#

And TAA to make matters worse

iron wave
#

Just do the baller move and get a 4090 instead of upscaling. /s

#

Oh yeah TAA can be pretty dreadful, a new game I played a bit recently only had TAA and DLSS for AA options....

rough osprey
#

will probably take a while till sub 1k rtx5xxx releases or

pale sigil
ashen spindle
#

Fg is worse the lower your base fps are so getting a slower card just to have fg is a bad idea

iron wave
#

DLSS with frame gen is such a bad idea too.

pale sigil
#

Frame gen is definitely rough

rough osprey
umbral heron
#

You too can replicate the look of DLSS with frame gen
Just smear your whole display with Vaseline KEKW

iron wave
#

Ah yes, slightly worse latency as the lower framerate without it just for an artificially higher FPS. Got to love it.

ashen spindle
#

oh I did not read the super part yeah that one is a bit better

I'm hoping that it won't be financially disastrous for me to get a 5090.

ill need to find an actual budget first

You don't know how much money you have?

fickle ore

I have about 60k won

iron wave

I know around how much I have but you know.

late grove
#

I will be skipping 5090. And to be honest I see no point in investing in uber high end hardware right now.

#

What are you gonna do with it? New games suck and the best monitor in the world is only coming out next year.

oh for 3 that is quite nice

I have three too.

Hell, run any UE3 game on an Radeon GPU period and tell me how much FPS you will get.

idk man this just feels like what i wanted to get away from. and i heard amd fixed usb issues but apparently not

It'll be slow compared to old machines. 😔

gusty kiln

had myselfs a strix 4090 and i must say i love my xtx more

ashen spindle

I care about what fps I get on games I play and on age old games that I dont really play anyway I care less eespecialyl if its between 200 and 400 or whatever?

iron wave
#

The old graphic mode emulation is pretty poor.

late grove
#

Why did you ever move up from Intel UHD in this case?

ashen spindle
#

because I play UE5 games and not UE3 games???

late grove
#

But you said you don't care about FPS.

umbral heron

RDNA4 won't have 8900s? hanaconfuse

ashen spindle

no thats what you willingly misread from my sentence

late grove

It's right there.

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

I dont care what fps I get on games on unreal 3 these days?
is different from
I dont care about fps

late grove
#

Ok so if it's an old game that gets low FPS then it's fine?

ashen spindle
#

you are missing more than half the words

late grove
#

And by low I mean that it can drop to like 100 at times.

I dont play any ue3 games nor do I even think own any at this point

I am not used to that because I am never wrong. 🫡

old yew

late grove
#

Wrong again. I hate both companies.

#

But since I do need something that displays an image on my screen, I will go with a thing that does it reliably.

ashen spindle
#

look man I get it, you hate every new game because every time someone mentions a new game you talk about how you dont understand how people like it because you can already play <insert other, different old game> so then you base your opinion on only the old games

ashen spindle
#

and if you only play up to unreal 3 games thats fine but thats not what most people do so it makes no sense looking at what hardware works best for that

umbral heron
#

Both Radeons and GeForces have their share of problems duck_bopping

old yew
#

even my 4090 MATRIX had a shit ton of issues

late grove
#

I play every game. That's the point I am trying to make. I do not only play games that came out 6 months ago.

late grove
#

That thing would corrode eventually anyway.

old yew
ashen spindle

unreal engine 4 came out in 2014, thats not 6 months ago

Ah rip

ashen spindle

forgot to mention that since you asked last time

gusty kiln
#

It's definitely their most interesting purchase since xillinx

ashen spindle
#

but from what I could gather it just seemed like an okay step to anchor themselves in the data center and they cant do a nvidia and fuck over partners by selling their own systems

gusty kiln
#

Yeah they are selling of the hardware side

ashen spindle

I am currently using Razer Blade 17 that I got on an insane deal. It's a 17inch laptop but it's thin with poor cooling. And so that means it almost never stays silent. Doing any kind of basic work kicks the fans on and they have that usual annoying high pitch sound.
I hate thin and light laptops. Hell I hate thin and heavy laptops too because it's clearly not working.

that sounds not like all thin and light laptops though

# teal shuttle razer has shit cooling because they cheaped out

Not cheaped out, it's a design flaw. They are infact using vapor chamber which is the best cooling solution in a laptop. But since they want to keep their clean minimalist design, they have very small and thin heatsinks with a narrow venting strip at the back.

teal shuttle

reference : PTM7950 is thermal pads used for 4090

Simply not enough mass to soak up the heat.

why admit you're guilty

issue been going on for years

they def know

steep creek
#

what sort of false advertising?

late grove
#

The issues is that you have 1-2 cores boosting at 1.6 volts which causes the degradation.
To fix this you need to lock all the cores to for example 5.6ghz and at lower voltage.

This will prevent degradation and won't have any performance impact outside of benchmarks.

intel is just not consumer friendly, mobo costs are steep

Intel is consoomer friendly.

#

Amd been sketchy forever.

#

ATi was doo doo.

ashen spindle
#

meme chanel is #🐸│memes not this

late grove
#

But Intel do advertise their CPUs hitting 6ghz. And so if you lock cores to 5.6ghz then it's no longer 6ghz and so it's false advertising. Even tho it does not matter in a real world scenario.

Why do they do that? To be on top of Cinebench charts. Because that's all that a clueless consumer cares about. They see an X CPU on top of a chart, they think it's better even if it's in margin of error.
