[gentle osprey]

I mean if you wanna save like $100 then yeah

[unkempt lake]

For your brother?

I love my XFX

[gentle osprey]

I mean I like the Red Devil personally but the XFX is real nice too and cheaper

[unkempt lake]

Its pwetty and quiet

[gentle osprey]

yeah

[unkempt lake]

Such a good card

[distant tapir]

I am maybe getting my new PC on the 15th

[balmy vector]

Hoping that as soon as the stores open the 50 series officially drops the new driver

[magic minnow]

Yeah :c ended up not wanting to get a 5090 and then handing down the 4090 when I can just save munnies

[balmy vector]

Oh @magic minnow did you see that the spinny kitty has said its first real words

[magic minnow]

Nu

[unkempt lake]

He'll be happy

[unkempt lake]

are you still buying a 50 series

Or are you giving up after today

[balmy vector]

Its first words were “shimmy shimmy yay shimmy yay shimmy yuh”

[distant tapir]

Yes probably. 5070 is still in my sights

I also wonder if the 5060 Ti 16 GB will be interesting, but idk

There's gonna be an 8 and 16 GB version

9700xt? I don't get any results

https://www.techpowerup.com/331694/maxsun-geforce-rtx-5060-series-regulatory-filings-suggest-16gb-and-8gb-variants-of-rtx-5060-ti

Doesn't 4060 Ti have 8 and 16 GB models as well?

Okay wanna bet $100?

If they aren't revealed before June I'll pay

Can't find it anywhere

Ah

Well... I'd rather not wait for that long

I have gone several months without a pc capable of games now

[magic minnow]

Strong will

What’s 10 days away

[distant tapir]

My laptop lags heavily at Old School Runescape

[magic minnow]

Wait should I just wait for that

[distant tapir]

Is it just 10 days away?

Ah. Well I have no choice but to wait anyway then as we still have no release date for 5070 either

So by the time 5070 is out I'll know how AMD competes I assume

[unkempt lake]

soria gonna have fun with the igpu

League of legends gamer

[distant tapir]

It's a big upgrade over my laptop's GPU

I can probably play Runescape without lagging with it and at higher resolutions

I currently play at 600p

And it still lags if I don't play completely zoomed in

Some bad laptop I got at school in 2015

I really want to be able to play Runescape at 1200p with high framerate. I hope the 9800X3D GPU can do that

Though this is in modern AAA games

Still, my laptop would not even be able to open then

This is how it plays Pillars of Eternity 1 at low settings 720p

Single digit framerate or at least low 10s

Me too

[balmy vector]

1990s gameplay

Right?

[distant tapir]

I tried to run BG1 but it wouldn't open

Nope

Yes

Buy one

Old gaems do look very good

[balmy vector]

I should get a CRT and play wizard101 on it

[cunning charm]

crt ?

old screen?

i can probably find them lol wont be new

ahh gotcha

i see em get thrown out all the time with my job lol

yeah those things are heavy to pick up lol

[magic minnow]

Okay waiting for it to finish booting and stuff

[wispy delta]

Do I buy the 5080 or 5090 tomorrow?

[distant tapir]

That sucks yes

[magic minnow]

@sonic adder

[wispy delta]

So 5080 or 5090 worth buying???

I’ve got a 3080 atm

[balmy vector]

A chill boi

[distant tapir]

Do you think 5070 will beat a 3090 in fps?

[magic minnow]

Seems better

This was me in the trainig room on marvel rivals

the top one stayed around 70 and the middle one around 63 and 66

I think I didn't tighten it enough :c

I need a noctua cooler now

[distant tapir]

I don't like thermal paste stuff. Why can't they make some new technology where that isn't necessary!!

[magic minnow]

there's that little grizzlypad thingyt

Kryosheet

[distant tapir]

Is it good?

[magic minnow]

idk

[distant tapir]

I am bad at paste so I am tempted to get it

I often use too much paste and make a mess everywhere

I get free paste with my CPU cooler

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-cat-dance-cat-cat-meme-chinese-cat-gif-1274766959165009975

[magic minnow]

I want liquid nitrogen AIOs

[distant tapir]

Why don't people just put ice cream in them

Crazy how much better it looks than 2

I'm doing SFF

It barely fits in my case apparently

Liquid Freezer has very thick radiators

Fractal Era 2

[steady sail]

I have a Arctic LF2 aio and its THICCC but only bc i went with the 280 variant

[distant tapir]

When I looked it up people said it barely fits

Had I gone for SFX-L PSU instead of SFX it would not fit

The Liquid Freezer 3 240 fits

[lyric hatch]

Just get a big fat air cooler

Ncase m2 ac168

[distant tapir]

LF3 240

[lyric hatch]

I just like SFF because I can take my PC on carry on

[magic minnow]

Yeah I wanted it but I think it's a tough fit in my Case

[gentle osprey]

Nvidia thought they had us by lowering the price of the 5080 by $200 compared to last gen's 4080 ($1200) and us thinking we got a deal, just for them to deliver +0% more performance

They had me in the first half

I'll give it to them

yeah 80 class feels like it's in a weird place lately

[magic minnow]

Leave the billion dollar company alone

[gentle osprey]

like they don't know what to do with it

its either too strong or too weak

[magic minnow]

80 super

[gentle osprey]

Lately it seems like they're cutting the 80 class down from what it used to be idk

like 3080Tis were basically 3090s

besides memory cap

yeah it does get rather annoying

Lmao yeah it's basically; base, super, ti, ti super

now we got asus adding more to their tiers too

with Astral

we got Prime, TUF, Strix, Astral now

[cunning charm]

just more excuse to charge more lol

[gentle osprey]

I think there still is strix

not 100% sure

Prime is Budget , Tuf is like slightly above budget

like mid range basically

guess it's a way for AIB Partners to extract more money out of their cards by having various tiered models and designs

[magic minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/upset-kitten-angrycat-pissed-nope-gif-20063227

Debating if I should risk trying and getting a founders in the morning

[lyric hatch]

It's alright AMD is making great naming decisions as well

[magic minnow]

Fuck I wish

[unkempt lake]

NO

Attack on kitkat

You will not

you have a 4090

[distant tapir]

How rich can one be

[gentle osprey]

only if you can sell the 4090 for what you got it for

[lyric hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-jensen-huang-safe-to-upgrade-gif-26481071

[gentle osprey]

just a personal opinion on LC cards, I'd rather just take one apart and block it myself at that point and run a custom loop instead of that

[gentle osprey]

If I can keep buying 90 class every gen and sell em for what I got it for then he wasn't wrong

[lyric hatch]

Hey now that's what I call value

[gentle osprey]

We just have to think more like Jensen

we'll get further in life

[magic minnow]

I was just gonna give it to my brother ;-;

and cancel the other AMD if I got it

[wheat yacht]

Buddy it’s cooked

Every fucking microcenter has like 4

And there is already like 40 people at each store

[magic minnow]

Jeff Bezos got me

[wheat yacht]

Rip my boy is paying 12k for a GPU

[gentle osprey]

Oh, mmmh idk if that's the best decision tbh unless you just got the money to blow

I'm not a financial advisor though

[magic minnow]

Yeah I just need self control

[gentle osprey]

or you just need to believe you can get and have anything you want

[magic minnow]

ElonMaps

[gentle osprey]

without hurting others of course

[magic minnow]

Just found the tier list

7900xt

[whole axle]

Got one for 7900xtx?

[magic minnow]

lol idk how legit this is

Just found a random youtube video

[whole axle]

Fair

lol

[tropic sparrow]

To run 2 monitors on a laptop setup is it an HDMI Extend Splitter?

[quiet tangle]

[magic minnow]

[umbral heron]

[bold coyote]

so we're going with the 4090 instead of a new 50?

[reef patrol]

Or waiting to see what AMD has locked away at retailers rn.

[quiet tangle]

9070 XT benchmarks have been out for awhile and they are disappointing.

[umbral heron]

Yeah, I'll wait for a credible source and not MLID

[lyric hatch]

somewhere between 7900 XT and 7900 XTX

[quiet tangle]

who mentioned that guy

[reef patrol]

Specs aren't the only important thing when looking at new products. Price and availability.

[quiet tangle]

They clearly want the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX to still be the higher end for now. The newer cards bench below them with sales on the 7900 XT going to 800 USD and a 5070 msrp at 549 launch just makes you wonder what room there is to wiggle on even.

[reef patrol]

clearly

Stop sniffing ground up crystal ball.

[quiet tangle]

a 1070 at launch costed 349, adjust for inflation today thats 513. I think pricing is already pretty competetive.

[quiet tangle]

just food for thought my friend. "clearly" you must have a pretty fat stockpile of ground up crystal balls, since you know exactly what AMDs marketing/product strategy is.

[reef patrol]

I never made any claims - You however DID 😛

[magic minnow]

lol

[quiet tangle]

Ah yes "i never said anything". what were you even contributing to my post?

[reef patrol]

[quiet tangle]

Wild how I just mentioned being disappointed by 9070 XT benchmarks casually in conversation, and you jumped straight into our conversation with sarcasm and snarkyness as usual instead of you know, an actual discussion. Real professional way to handle things, especially for a company rep. You should think about what you say to people, I get you meant it in fun but I'm a recent recovering addict and I really didn't appreciate that comment dude, uncalled for.

[reef patrol]

I literally just pointed out that specs are not all that matters, when you're looking at new products. What are you even on about 😄

You stating AMD rumors as matter of fact is just that - rumors. And playing it off as fact is just wild.

[quiet tangle]

Look

[reef patrol]

Playing the victim card is just plain silly.

[quiet tangle]

I totally understand that you were trying to be playful, but I just didn't think this was that type of environment. Just expressing how that comment made me feel, rather than apologize and create a respectful enviroment we are deflecting? I wasn't spreading rumors I was voicing my disappointment and your reaction was a out of line. I was just asking you to think about how your words can affect others, especially when you dont know everyones history, Lets just keep it sfw comments yeah?

[umbral heron]

[quiet tangle]

Sorry you feel that way

[umbral heron]

With each and every benchmark I still think that getting XTX was a good call

[quiet tangle]

I agree my sister bought one and at first I was skeptical but it really improved with drivers

Same with the 7900 XT

[quiet tangle]

I own a 4080 and this made me smile lol

[ashen spindle]

Where are these benchmarks?

[magic minnow]

I bought one over the XT today makes me happy to hear this

[quiet tangle]

I believe All_the_watts leaked it

check X

[ashen spindle]

Lmfao all the watts hahaha

Yeah no that guy is just someone posting Chinese forum posts he isn’t very accurate

That’s also not benchmarks that’s leaks/rumours of supposed performance

[quiet tangle]

He's been correct recently with RDNA, theres a good chance benchmarks are for a "9070 XT"

could be altered, who knows.

[ashen spindle]

The only thing he showed were screenshots of 3dmark

Which we knownfor multiple generations isn’t very representative of gaming performance in comparison to other gpu generations

[quiet tangle]

correct and some old graphs with old name scheme.

[quiet tangle]

But still something credible to compare to other graphics card to for sure.

[ashen spindle]

No it’s just 3dmark

[quiet tangle]

Wasnt there some 800 and 700 being compared to 3000 series

[ashen spindle]

All it really tells you is it works and doesn’t compete with 5090

[quiet tangle]

and a rough idea where it will fit into.

[ashen spindle]

Those aren’t benchmarks still

Even performance projections aren’t benchmarks especially not pre-release

[quiet tangle]

I agree, but what I'm saying is it's enough to determine where the card will sit, there is a pretty large CUDA gap in current series.

[ashen spindle]

A what

[analog sinew]

@gentle osprey no bulli

[ashen spindle]

amd doesn’t have cuda

[quiet tangle]

I'm talking about compared to Nvidias current series

[analog sinew]

im bad about buying stuff i know

[gentle osprey]

[ashen spindle]

You mean the corecount on the 50 series

[quiet tangle]

same thing

[magic minnow]

What did you buy :o?

[umbral heron]

Tak is contemplating about GPU

[magic minnow]

Ohhhh

[ashen spindle]

But it’s not enough to determine wheee the cards will fit because we don’t know the exact performance

[balmy vector]

50 series?

Or another

In referring to tak

[magic minnow]

I’ll answer for tak

[analog sinew]

5080 was my plan but everyone i sek has different valid answers

[analog sinew]

me irl

[magic minnow]

Do you need a card now?

[gentle osprey]

wait I forgot what gpu you have now?

[quiet tangle]

We know it won't outperform a 5080, We know if its 5060 perfomance its doomed, it obviously sits in between 70 and 80

[gentle osprey]

2070?

[magic minnow]

Wait for the 5080 super

[analog sinew]

kind of. i wanna play mhwilds

[analog sinew]

super yea

[balmy vector]

I mean

[gentle osprey]

thought so

[lyric hatch]

If you want an upgrade it's still a decent option if you can find one near msrp

[magic minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-evil-evil-cat-mischievous-mischief-gif-13289589621298169963

[analog sinew]

i would if it wasnt for wilds the game i rly wanna play

[gentle osprey]

Get 4080S or XTX

[umbral heron]

4080S or XTX
Or you can wait until 5080 will be available

[ashen spindle]

All the watts made a new account because on his old he had too many false leaks lmfao, we do not know any of this we can just have educated guesses at best

[analog sinew]

4080super is now 1200 too

[magic minnow]

I think trying to find a 4080s is gonna be tough

[analog sinew]

idk how to feel bout hat

[gentle osprey]

Hmm

at that point yeah maybe 5080 if you can get at msrp

[analog sinew]

seems a bit much

[lyric hatch]

I don't think old cards are a good deal atm either tbh

[gentle osprey]

cause 50 may get better overtime

[analog sinew]

yea

[magic minnow]

Until 60 cards come out

[balmy vector]

Cam could make the most insane deal of the century

[quiet tangle]

ok yes youre right 9070 XT is 3 dollars and is perfomance of 6090

[analog sinew]

that being

[gentle osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-one-billion-dollars-haha-money-gif-16679435

[ashen spindle]

I clearly said we don’t have exact details just common sense so no that isn’t accurate at all

[lyric hatch]

I'm gonna hold off until things calm down and see where things end up

[umbral heron]

40 series absolutely are, they get 50-series treatment, just without their fancy framegen

[magic minnow]

For the people who are gonna try to get a 50xx gpu today I wish you luck

Wholeheartedly

[gentle osprey]

yeah Im in no rush but gonna fight the bots in the morning for funsies

[balmy vector]

For funsies?

[gentle osprey]

yeah

[balmy vector]

Thats like op boss levels of aura

[analog sinew]

arent you too?

[balmy vector]

Bots fear you cam

[magic minnow]

No I ended up just keeping my 4090 and bought my little brother a 7900xtx

[gentle osprey]

wait

I thought you got XT

[magic minnow]

I had a 7900xt but then saw the 7900xtx was like 80$ off

[gentle osprey]

you got XTX?

oooo

switcharoo

[magic minnow]

Yeah was that good or bad

Idk about amd gpu

[gentle osprey]

👍

https://tenor.com/view/no-ragrets-no-regrets-fail-gif-4946750

[lyric hatch]

I just haven't seen any deals to be had on old cards and I'm not paying near MSRP of the new card for an old card

[balmy vector]

So much stuff happening today, cant wait to get off work in the early afternoon to do some dlss 4 shenanigans

[magic minnow]

This one

Speedy name

[gentle osprey]

good choice

[magic minnow]

Dashi helped

[gentle osprey]

Nice

[magic minnow]

Still dead set on the astral?

[gentle osprey]

or FE

Suprim was lookin nice in thermals and noise tho

[balmy vector]

You’re going for the astral

[gentle osprey]

but I don't like the aesthetic much

[magic minnow]

That’s what I got for my 4090 the suprim x

[raw zephyr]

we got czech nvidia page, but i doubt you are able to buy a card directly from them

[gentle osprey]

hmm

Good question tbh Im not sure

[ashen spindle]

They do have them in stock for some sites but idk what the sites are for anyone but Germany/france

And the ones here only ship to their own country for these orders

[umbral heron]

100 FE 5090s for US and EU each

[raw zephyr]

the official reseller for czech has a lot of aib cards listed on their page now

[magic minnow]

wtf only 10 cards for Houston TX? The most overpopulated city in Texas lmao

[gentle osprey]

yeah there's barely any 90s

[lyric hatch]

yeah did hear they were going to be pretty rare

[magic minnow]

I legit thought they were gonna overstock in case of the tariffs

[balmy vector]

Ye 80s are far more stocked up

[gentle osprey]

supposed to be more shipments in feb

[ashen spindle]

Lunar new year means shipping delays and factories closed during it

Can’t overstock when it takes a long time to build up stock

[magic minnow]

;-; I hate that china shuts down for 8 days

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I figured that would affect it tbf

[umbral heron]

As if most of the western world doesn't shut down for several days at the end of the year too

[magic minnow]

[gentle osprey]

nah what are holidays

[umbral heron]

Still, 230 5090s is a complete joke

[magic minnow]

The postal service over here stops for 1 days in China it stops for 8 days

[gentle osprey]

Basically 4 -5 for every state

not how it ended divided up obviously but

if we were too lol

[analog sinew]

thats wild

[gentle osprey]

[cursive summit]

Supposedly this is 50 series stocks in Microcenter

[cursive summit]

Same thing I guess

200 90 cards across US sure is nothing

[lyric hatch]

who could have predicted that

[magic minnow]

Imagine being one of the lucky few walking out of the store with the 5090

Nothing could possibly go wrong

https://tenor.com/view/stabby-cat-stab-knife-attack-gif-8323277341918006992

MY BOY
WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BOY
WHY IS NO LONGER ORANG AND PURPOL?!

[lyric hatch]

I remember when the 6000 series from AMD launched and the entire of Australia/New Zealand didn't have a single card for at least a month after "launch"

[cursive summit]

Poorpl is a better color than oranj

Fight me

[gentle osprey]

wow thats different

[umbral heron]

Not in this case, purpol is Intel board

[balmy vector]

Lmao what is this gif

[gentle osprey]

wonder how many are left between online retailers like newegg and bestbuy, B*H, etc

[magic minnow]

I typed cat stabbing ;-;

[gentle osprey]

I imagine 1000 in total or less

maybe even 500

https://eaton-works.com/2024/12/19/mcdelivery-india-hack/ heres the article if you wanna read it instead of the video

[wispy delta]

Any thoughts on what to buy today either a 5080 or 5090? Or wait for 5070 to come out

[cedar fog]

wait for quantum computing

it will happen soon probably

[wispy delta]

?

[cedar fog]

well I think it's important to know what you already have and what your budget is

[wispy delta]

I’ve got a 3080 atm

[cedar fog]

also I have not as much knowledge on hardware as some others in here

[ashen spindle]

You are with 90% certain not getting a card today even if you try xD

So look at benchmarks with games you play if the difference is worth it to you and try to get one whenever you can if you want one

[wispy delta]

Just watched a vid 5080 ain’t worth it

Basically a 4080 super

5090 only thing worth it at this point for msrp

[cedar fog]

i want a 5070 ti (maybe)

[wispy delta]

Ehhh

[fair gull]

you gonna lemme know how quick they sold out?

[wheat plume]

😢 only the 25 ULTRA has the anti-glare coating .-. not the s25 and s25+

[fair gull]

oh no so hard to apply a film for that

[halcyon moss]

are you considering an s25?

[wheat plume]

they cost too much

starting at $1000 is ridiculous

but they look so damn pretty ..especially that coral pink 😍

[magic minnow]

Nothing phone is announcing something in march

[halcyon moss]

s25, i can get for €502 with a new contract

[wheat plume]

Nothing is very tempting too but they only offer 2 android upgrades 😢

but clean Android...no bloat 😍 hek yeah

wait nvm....

requiring a Samsung account is BS

cant skip it like Google lets you

[halcyon moss]

i used to be able to skip it

[wispy delta]

Apple better

[wheat plume]

oh, if you click that link it gives you the option to make one later

[reef patrol]

[halcyon moss]

...

[reef patrol]

I beg of you. Stop live reacting to a video review and just fucking post a link already.

[cedar fog]

it's probably related to weird TOS of data collection and ai bullshit

[wheat plume]

As long as they dont take a Windows 11 route of making it mandatory :/

[cedar fog]

you can still skip windows with some like cmd prompt fuckery

[wheat plume]

Yeh, i know

[nimble arch]

Anti-glare is now an upsell feature

[wheat plume]

but most users barely know that the OS they use is called Windows so they wont do that

[wheat plume]

yeh 😢

Just like the Steam Deck xd but most people buy the higher end Deck for the extra storage

[reef patrol]

(Most users don't give a flying toss if they have to create an account either)

[wheat plume]

(fair point)

[frozen ingot]

who even buys these flagship devices anymore

[nimble arch]

Me, I'm the flagship guy

[wheat plume]

apparently a lot of people due to phone carrier contracts

as long as you dont do it every year.....

[frozen ingot]

its the same shitty phone every year

[nimble arch]

I went 13 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max last year

[wheat plume]

Every year is way too excessive, even if you can afford it

its a lot of hassle to setup and transfer and login to all your apps every year, I bet....especially apps like Auth apps and finance apps, those SUCK to transfer to a new phone

[cedar fog]

i went from a pixel 3 to a pixel 8 and tbh the difference is so insubstantial

[nimble arch]

I plan to make my 16 Pro Max + Watch Ultra 2 combination last 4-5 years before upgrading both

[wheat plume]

ayy nice

[fair gull]

idk bitwarden auth and authy were easy to transfer same for google auth

[wheat plume]

16 pro max gonna get a lot of iOS updates too

[fair gull]

my biggest pain to transfer would prob be images and music if anything

[frozen ingot]

yeah in the past 5-6 years basically nothing noteworthy has happened, apart from those silly foldable things

[nimble arch]

I quite like the AI notification summaries

[fair gull]

cause its a good 100gb or so

[nimble arch]

It's a handy little time saver

[frozen ingot]

heck I'd say for the past decade very little of substance has happened with smartphones

[fair gull]

im actually still thinking of getting a galaxy flip

[magic minnow]

I hope pixel 10 is cool with the new chip and all that

[wheat plume]

My bank app is not easy to transfer, I have to physically visit the bank with both phones so they can verify shit and make a temporary password for me to login

[nimble arch]

This is ok IMHO

It's cool that phones are boring

It means less ewaste

[wheat plume]

if the Pixel 9A is a decent price, I may get that

[fair gull]

lol i just tell my bank and they send me a letter

[magic minnow]

Get the Mate XT

[wheat plume]

true

[fair gull]

so i just use my old phone a few days longer for banking

[nimble arch]

Just buy a high-end device when you need to get a new one and run them into the ground over 5+ years

[frozen ingot]

not when they cost like a good used car imo but you do you

[fair gull]

that aint a flip

[wheat plume]

no...miss me with folding phones, too fragile and when they break you are fucked cause no repair shop is gonna know how to handle that

[frozen ingot]

I don't think I could live down that crease on the display

it looks..gross

[nimble arch]

This reminds me that I need to sell my car

[fair gull]

lol its the same as any other display ofc they know how to

its more a question of getting replacement parts

[magic minnow]

The new slim line of phones is so weird to me, I’ve never heard anyone ask for a slimmer phone

[wheat plume]

if the hinge breaks they may not though

[fair gull]

also the same as other phones

get a new hinge

[cursive summit]

I want to get an Xperia eventually, my Poco is old

[wheat plume]

yeah ikr....no one wants that cause it makes the camera island bigger, it makes the battery smaller and makes the phone feel warmer cause less surface area to release heat

[analog sinew]

lol

[fair gull]

if only sony made a flip phone

[cursive summit]

When I get an Xperia I'm likely never going to buy a phone again, my needs are very basic

[analog sinew]

lol

[magic minnow]

It’s so weird and I hope bendgate doesn’t happen again

[wheat plume]

🤔 the new OneUI Battery Icon looks like when you plug in a Pixel phone and it highlights the battery icon in your system's accent color for a few seconds to indicate you started charging the device

[cursive summit]

I wish Sony became repairable so I could buy and stash a couple of replacement batteries for the next 6 years

Tbf the new HMDs are repairable so.. hm

[frozen ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/notebook-jotdown-takedownnotes-gif-6133490

[wheat plume]

see what I mean?!

[fair gull]

i assume the phones stay as repairable as other phones

so a lot of heating and careful prying

[cursive summit]

The new HMDs are VERY repairable, assuming you've not seen the JerryRig video

[fair gull]

hmds arent phones though

[wheat plume]

Yeah they are...and they look gorgeous too, I love the colors they come in :D

[cursive summit]

https://youtu.be/mgXtPp3n5IQ

[wheat plume]

do they offer much Android upgrades?

[digital cliff]

literally nobody but you has ever looked at these icons with the intent of anything but seeing what their battery level is

[wheat yacht]

I don’t understand nvidias website

[wheat plume]

its not possible to not notice when it does this when you plug the phone in cause it removes ALL the other status bar icons

[fair gull]

thats a phone not an hmd

[wheat yacht]

How do I buy a 5090 from these monkeys

[analog sinew]

rtx remasters your game

[cursive summit]

Tony, the joke is not funny

[analog sinew]

you dont

[wheat yacht]

So real

[fair gull]

hmd

how is this a joke

[halcyon moss]

hmd is a brand

[fair gull]

hmd is head mounted display

[cursive summit]

HMD is also a phone brand that.. used to own Nokia?

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/Eo2zB2uakdA

HMD are owned by Nokia

[halcyon moss]

which used the nokia brand before, but arent anymore

[cursive summit]

Idk if HMD still use the Nokia brand

[wheat plume]

or is it the other way around?

[halcyon moss]

no lana

[fair gull]

the crap

[cursive summit]

HMD used to own the Nokia branding

[fair gull]

why would you name it HMD

[cursive summit]

That's the company name?

[wheat plume]

It stands for something like Human Made Design or some shit

[fair gull]

very not confusing

[halcyon moss]

nokia only makes network equipment atm, no phones

but still finnish

[wheat plume]

HMD = Human Mobile Devices

[steady sail]

Im just gonna stay with apple phones

[steady sail]

True that sus

[wheat plume]

XD

[cursive summit]

That's shit acronym competition for AMD

[ruby quarry]

Hi the rgb on my wooting80 arent working when i turned on my pc, any tips to help fix?

[fair gull]

Founded 1 December 2016; 8 years ago

they could have picked a better name ngl

[frozen ingot]

same with ericsson, they retired from commercial products and solely focuses on infrastructure tech etc

[fair gull]

pretty sure HMD as in head mounted display was already a hting in late 2016

[wheat plume]

:') and HP

[cursive summit]

What's wrong with HP

Hewlett-Packard, the founders?

[wheat plume]

;-; only 2 upgrades

[halcyon moss]

ohno, tlas suck ass

[wheat plume]

only supported until this year....cause Android 16 releases in a few months

LAMEEEEEEEE

[cursive summit]

Good

Fuck Android upgrades

[fair gull]

but youre gonna miss the features

the all important features

like

the thing

you know

[cursive summit]

Like.. nothing

Android updates never actually provide anything I would care about

[fair gull]

the same way that most apps require the latest android.... with minimum vertsion 4,7 or 9 usually

[cursive summit]

It's just thematic decorative shit

[fair gull]

how could u not have 16

[wheat plume]

you dont get security updates

[cursive summit]

The only important one was the one with Bluetooth LE support

[cursive summit]

Couldn't care less tbf

Don't install weird APKs and stick to shit you trust and you'll be fine

[reef patrol]

Oh hey - We changed your UI again
For the better?
For the better... right??

[fair gull]

i mean the only real relevant security updates would be if they find more 0days or massive issues in googles RCS if you even use that

[halcyon moss]

UI changes are very minor these days

[fair gull]

if you just get calls and sms and use the few apps you know anyway...

then theres almost no point

[halcyon moss]

i didnt really notice any ui updates for my s21u

[fair gull]

damn the xperia 1 vi is expensive

[cursive summit]

999 last I checked

[fair gull]

1399 msrp

[cursive summit]

It launches for like 1400 or 1600 and just settles down to 999 after a couple of months

[fair gull]

for 512gb

[cursive summit]

For the first few months, yes

[fair gull]

i just checked the website for msrp

not other stores

[digital cliff]

yeah I still don't know anything new they've added into android except make the UI worse and make it have colors I guess

[nimble arch]

UK networks have started enabling RCS but I don't even think it's E2EE between iPhone and Android yet

[cursive summit]

Although I wouldn't buy the 512 version when 256 is 1000 flat right now

And Sony has expandable storage unlike many new phones

[digital cliff]

whether I'm using 9, 16 or 24611 I don't really know why I would really care

[fair gull]

well rn i have 1tb internal and a microsd

[wheat plume]

it is if you use Google Messages on Android

[fair gull]

so id love to keep most of my current internal data internal

[wheat plume]

Samsung's Messaging app is not E2EE

[cursive summit]

We must be incredibly different for to need more than 128GB

[nimble arch]

iPhone here

Pretty sure RCS is plain text on UK networks

[cursive summit]

Cause I've had my Poco 128gb for what, 3-4 years now? Barely half filled up

[nimble arch]

Or between the platforms

[fair gull]

most of the storage is filled with hundreds of gb of flac files

[wheat plume]

wtf 🤢

[cursive summit]

Weirdo

Just stream off Tidal

[fair gull]

why pay if i already digitized my own cd collection

[nimble arch]

Wait, it seems to be an iPhone-Android thing in general: https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/17/24247414/rcs-texts-iphone-e2ee-android-gsma

[wheat plume]

🤔

[reef patrol]

The Ook don't want citizens to use encryption.

[wheat plume]

the EU and Google forced Apple to add RCS support to iMessage...guess they forgot to specify it also needs to be encrypted

[fair gull]

because it doesnt need to be encrypted

[wheat plume]

I thought that was one of the pros of RCS?

[fair gull]

that it can be encrypted yes

keyword can

[wheat plume]

can be
ooohhh...thought it was by default

[nimble arch]

Shouldn't E2EE always be the default in 2025?

[fair gull]

should yes

[wheat plume]

^ yeh, it should

[fair gull]

is no

flip6 or xperia 1 vi

one is nice and compact

and the other has a timeless design

[bitter sphinx]

is 850W PSU sufficient for these specs?

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Gigabyte Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING OC 24G
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000MHz 2x16GB RAM
HYDRO K PRO 850W PSU Bronze
KINGSTON NV3 2000GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD
Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI 7

[steady sail]

Yes

[bitter sphinx]

ty

[steady sail]

Buy u dont need a x870 mobo

[bitter sphinx]

gpu is OC'ed from factory

[wheat plume]

I dont like the square display corners inside a frame that has rounded corners

they should either both be square or both be rounded

[cedar fog]

they have this thing in Android where you can zoom in and out of the videos

[steady sail]

I said u dont need that motherboard at all

[cedar fog]

to take up more or less space

[wheat plume]

just like the gross design of the new Samsung watch ultra, circle display on a square frame

[fair gull]

wait 512gb is red color only

sony why

[cedar fog]

elitism

[steady sail]

Bc sony

[cedar fog]

my phone is red

muhehe

[steady sail]

Mine is light purple

[wheat plume]

mine is silver/lightgrey/lightblue depending on the way the light reflects off the back

[slow trench]

35mins left till f5 spammmm 5090 inc!

[steady sail]

Good luck

[spiral island]

Gonna need a new keyboard after this

[steady sail]

But i dont think u gonna be lucky

https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/facebook-flags-linux-topics-as-cybersecurity-threats-posts-and-users-being-blocked

[latent mural]

Hmm yes ofc

[spiral island]

Linux is for hackers 😏

[cedar fog]

I believe cals posted that the other day wow for you to copy them

I'm down voting you

no reddit karma for you farmer

[wheat plume]

I wonder if they are gonna stop using Linux on all their infrastructure?

Switch to Windows Server

[spiral island]

Oh god no

Though honestly, that's a hell they deserve

[wheat plume]

Are they gonna use malware to run their infrastructure?

[crimson wigeon]

I mean #🔌│tech message

[cedar fog]

maybe they'll release their own OS

[crimson wigeon]

That's the third time

[wheat plume]

Hypocrites

[cedar fog]

reactos

metaos

[spiral island]

I should really swtich my gaming/hobby machine to linux again now that proton is a full blown success

[cedar fog]

yeah honestly the only downside now is the lack of anti cheat support in a few titles

[spiral island]

Got tiresome dual booting back in the day

[wheat plume]

Nvidia drivers are still janky af
Not much Linux devs can do when Nvidia only offer proprietary drivers

[spiral island]

Really? I'd heard linux nvidia drivers made huge strides in the last few years

[wheat plume]

It's significantly better
Yes

[bitter sphinx]

how about these

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Gigabyte Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING OC 24G
Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz 2x16GB RAM
Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX WIFI DDR5
HYDRO K PRO 850W PSU Bronze
KINGSTON NV3 2000GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD
Phanteks NV5 Satin Black /w Black & RGB Fans

[wheat plume]

But not AMD levels

It'll work
But you may need to use X instead of Wayland
And you may get screen tearing or crashes

I wonder if Valve will ever switch to Wayland on SteamOS ??

[steady sail]

Works

[reef patrol]

#🐸│memes

[spiral island]

Oh that's a bit of a bummer about X. Also the tearing - I remember that from my last work machine 😣

[magic minnow]

16 minutes until 5090 right?

[rough osprey]

and 5080

[magic minnow]

[steady sail]

u mean 4080 Super+ ?

[rough osprey]

[balmy vector]

4080 super mini-ti

[steady sail]

Truee

im just hoping for the 9070 non-xt

[magic minnow]

Nvidia about to pull the biggest heist in history

[balmy vector]

Mainly for 5090s

[steady sail]

can we wait for the 5080 Ti Super+ AI ?

[gentle osprey]

knew the astrals wasn't gonna be $800 more

didn't make no sense

[raw zephyr]

it runs through gamescope on tty

[magic minnow]

Those are all bargain bin steals

[wispy delta]

I’m buying a 5090. 5080 is shit

[magic minnow]

Nvidia does care

10090

[balmy vector]

New driver update has also pretty much added their version of amds afmf for 50 series

[gentle osprey]

lol, still expensive but peeps kept saying the Astrals were gonna be $800 more over msrp

I was like nah

[magic minnow]

nvidia app update 😮

[wispy delta]

No one’s buying a 5080😂😂

[gentle osprey]

Oh people def are

[spiral island]

I feel 0 empathy for scalpers that get stuck w/ 5080s

[wispy delta]

5090 is well worth it

[balmy vector]

Probably mainly people on 20-30 series might go for 5080

At most

[crimson wigeon]

Only the 50 series gets fake frames? Bruh

[gentle osprey]

yeah you have to pay for fake frames

what you expect

[balmy vector]

For games without dlss, ye

[crimson wigeon]

Typical NV moment

[balmy vector]

Gotta keep it secluded

Just gotta stick to lossless if you wanna do that

[wispy delta]

So 5080 or 5090

[gentle osprey]

welp

[balmy vector]

depends what you currently have and how much you’re willing to fork over

[gentle osprey]

the 90 is $800 more

XDDDD

[modern jolt]

Anyone have recommendations on left handed mice?

[balmy vector]

Holy shit asus

Wtff

[crimson wigeon]

ALright let me expand: fake frames on any game

[magic minnow]

yes

I got 10 5090s

Minecraft is finished

[rough osprey]

[balmy vector]

Lossless and nvidias version combined

[spiral island]

Everyone rich with ‘90s?

http protocol error 🤔

[magic minnow]

[gentle osprey]

newegg flashed me with the price then went away again

[balmy vector]

The bots attack mercilessly

[magic minnow]

Most people don't get to even see that on launch

[wispy delta]

Same 5090?

[gentle osprey]

it flashed me with 2799

then went away

[wispy delta]

😭

[spiral island]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-its-gone-gif-4104229

[wispy delta]

I’m in line for both let’s see 🥱🥱

[gentle osprey]

lol yeah

[magic minnow]

bestbuy website is dying

[cedar fog]

[spiral island]

A bargain at twice the price

[gentle osprey]

newegg keeps flashing me

[wispy delta]

[magic minnow]

[magic minnow]

[ashen spindle]

[ashen spindle]

basically when some AiB decide to list on amazon

as in, probably not for weeks xD

[wispy delta]

And 5080’s are now sold out on Best Buy as well what a cringe market…

[spiral island]

Remember you’re not in traffic, you are traffic

[cedar fog]

NVM I'm starting to see the value in the 5090

[frozen ingot]

lukewarm hotdog water gpu generation

[magic minnow]

[cedar fog]

wow it's cheaper than a 4090 off Amazon

[wispy delta]

Well looks like I’m sticking with my 3080 for another 2 years😈

[cedar fog]

is presale even allowed on ebay it's crazy how confident these scalpers are they'll acquire the cards

[steady sail]

or just wait a few months for stock xd

[magic minnow]

Dude I’m glad I got my 4090 my dumbass really thought I could get a 5090 on launch

[cedar fog]

50 series ain't even worth it

[wispy delta]

Still msrp price?

[steady sail]

i mean i just looked at the 5080 prices in Hungary the cheapest is 1400 euro

[steady sail]

no

[ashen spindle]

hey wheres the guy who was up all night to have a shot and didnt believe me it launches on this hours? (yes im being petty xD)

[cedar fog]

I'm still curious about 5070 ti

wait til February

[magic minnow]

@sonic adder did you get a 5080"?

[spiral island]

Don't rub salt in their wound

[wispy delta]

Then I’m good sticking w/ the 3080 for another 2 years😏

[tropic sparrow]

[steady sail]

or just get a 40 series xd

[wispy delta]

used? I’m good😅😅

[ashen spindle]

I know I know, Im only being a bit petty because I am annoyed when someone uses AI hallucinations as facts in an argument xD

[magic minnow]

8090 is gonna be my next upgrade

[rough osprey]

damn that shit really was impossible here

when is the next drop normally?

[ashen spindle]

whenever restock comes

[analog sinew]

most sites omploded

[ashen spindle]

so, with lunar new year, good luck lol

[cedar fog]

5070 ti is 16gb vram

[analog sinew]

i may have placed an order but i cant find shit nor do i have an email yet

[rough osprey]

[cedar fog]

$749 suggested retailer pricing

[magic minnow]

[rough osprey]

im getting 503 on nbb lol

[analog sinew]

alza

nbb i never saw anythin

[ashen spindle]

oh so you didnt try for a FE

[analog sinew]

nope nvidia site never loaded for me after 14:55

so that was out

[ashen spindle]

nbb has the FE cards for german supply so didnt even check the nvidia site

[magic minnow]

Hell yeah

[analog sinew]

i checked nbb by itself

[magic minnow]

AliExpress

[analog sinew]

never saw shit

[ashen spindle]

yea same

[wraith stirrup]

I have a 5090 in my cart but the site is not working

[analog sinew]

my alza order is in limbo

[magic minnow]

Best Buy?

[analog sinew]

i didnt note the order number cause i was nervous and the mail hasnt come

[wraith stirrup]

Nah the site is called komplett its for Sweden

[rough osprey]

nbb hosted on a laptop or sum

[analog sinew]

so i cant see anything rn xD

yea

[cedar fog]

to combat scalpers they should have launched them entirely in retail stores tbh

[analog sinew]

it says there is an order under my mail, so something gott through

[cedar fog]

limit purchases per customer

[analog sinew]

but idk if it will confirm

[magic minnow]

Tak with the upgrade

[analog sinew]

i cant see shit though nor do i have an email

[steady sail]

the water cooled 5080 from MSI is 1770 euro in Hungary xD

[cunning charm]

for me at both microcenters it says limited availability must buy at store

[balmy vector]

Got charged too?

[analog sinew]

so idk if it really is valid

[magic minnow]

Stay positive vv

[ashen spindle]

oh 5080 appeared on NBB

[cunning charm]

wont even show the 5090

[analog sinew]

i did complete a payment

[ashen spindle]

loool

[digital cliff]

banging deals

[cedar fog]

you got it for sure

their servers are just chugging

[analog sinew]

[cedar fog]

[balmy vector]

[magic minnow]

[analog sinew]

yea i'll have to see

[bold coyote]

16gb is so little tho? or is that me

[magic minnow]

lets pray for tak

[cedar fog]

mo

no*

well for 5080

kinda

[bold coyote]

yeah exactly

[ashen spindle]

yes but nvidia decided all you deserve is getting screwed

[latent mural]

My has like less

6/8 idk

[cedar fog]

5080 shoulda been like 24

[bold coyote]

hey im not in queue for getting one

[digital cliff]

I have no clue how much my card has 👍

[balmy vector]

At least 2

[bold coyote]

i feel like for a new card like that, there should be a 32 version too no?

[magic minnow]

5090

[steady sail]

i would be happy with 16gb of VRAM

[bold coyote]

oh yeah like the 10 cards that are out there ;p

[cedar fog]

5070 ti $749

16gb vram

[steady sail]

NO

[cedar fog]

well recommended price

[ashen spindle]

5070ti has no FE model so there will not be a single card hitting that price lol

[steady sail]

500$

[cedar fog]

truth

5070 ti is probably $900 realistically

[steady sail]

i would buy a 5070 ti for 500$

[balmy vector]

Asus astral rolling in that dough

[analog sinew]

i shouldve screenshotted the number but i was so nervous lol

say hello to scalpers

[sudden imp]

What does he mean by this?

[wheat yacht]

I fucking hate bots

I was clicking buy at literally 9:01 and it was sold out instantly

Actually cooked 💔

[balmy vector]

Gotta out bot the bots

[cedar fog]

it's not bots Nvidia only made like 10 cards

and they sell the rest on ebay

[rough osprey]

you know its bad when there are barely any scalpers posts up

[wheat yacht]

Nvidia fr so goated for releasing 10 cards in the entire US ❤️

[reef patrol]

No one's eating. Even the bots are starving.

[wheat yacht]

Jensen stupid fucking shiny jacket

[cunning charm]

i checked 2 microcenters around me and none have the 5090 posted

[cunning charm]

only the 5080 variants

[wheat yacht]

Mine had like 4

[cedar fog]

50 series feels like the most scuffed launch and series like ever

[wheat yacht]

It’s actually insane

[reef patrol]

You would think they had learned something in two release cycles.

It seems even worse than with the 5080 launch.

[cunning charm]

probably out of the 5 stores near me only the city got em

[rough osprey]

im lowkey questioning that nbb even had Fe's on offer

[wheat yacht]

Bro didn’t they shut down like all 40 series card productions for this launch

wtf happened 💀

What if Nvidia was all Ai

[sudden imp]

It’s the 4080 with new label I don’t see why people are even scalping

[magic minnow]

@balmy vector https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1idme1q/game_ready_studio_driver_57216_faqdiscussion/

[balmy vector]

Unfortunately at work, wont be able to do it til past 2pm

[cedar fog]

I think scalping is becoming increasingly popular so much so that more and more normal people are doing it like the Pokemon cards

[magic minnow]

Spider man will be out as well C:

[cedar fog]

then it creates a fake hype

and people buy it ;-;

[wheat yacht]

Why do so many people upgrade from the 4090 to the 5090 💀

[bold coyote]

cause some people just like having the newest stuff

[wheat yacht]

I guess but god damn

[magic minnow]

Just hype I think as well

[spiral island]

Someone is learning about the wealth gap today

[vivid vine]

Why is it so bad

Hope Nvidia has to pull a 4080 move and unrelease the 5080

doubt it tho, consumers just get dumber an dumber

[rough patrol]

Last time i was excited for a gpu release was 30 series

[analog sinew]

ok i got a confirmation mail but it might have been converted to a backorder

[rough patrol]

I was excited for this one until i saw benchmarks and lost all interest immediately

[cedar fog]

even back than people started buying 20 series cause they couldn't even get 30 I stg

[magic minnow]

inflation bro

[spiral island]

30 series was a huge jump from my 10 series

[vivid vine]

Not the problem tho, inflation was a thing with 30 and 40 series

[cedar fog]

did they even have much stock of the 50 series tho

[magic minnow]

I waited till the 40 to upgrade from my 1080ti

[cedar fog]

it seems like there was barely any stock

[reef patrol]

The 3080 release was so, so bad. Nvidia, AIBs and suppliers kept lying to retailers about how many cards would actually receive, so they had to keep cancelling orders.

[spiral island]

You've got stronger will than I

[balmy vector]

Getting it at all is an accomplishment

[vivid vine]

Similar for me, 2070 to a 4070s

[rough osprey]

they might not even be a partner anymore

[vivid vine]

Glad I didnt bother waiting for 50 series

[ashen spindle]

inflation+costs are going up instead of down for making them + increased margins for nvidia + more people like businesses buy them for work like ai

[vivid vine]

It seems to be a bust at launch

[ashen spindle]

proshop had some apparently

[rough osprey]

so they probably getting restock too?

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vivid vine]

All the launcher buyer's will have Fomo by Summer when Nvidia drops all the Super cards for this gen

[ashen spindle]

super cards arent going to be this year

[vivid vine]

We could easily see them by the end of the year but if 60 series is way out, they will probably push back the Super lauch

[ashen spindle]

60 series isnt before 27 most likely

[cedar fog]

is github down for anyone else

xD

[ashen spindle]

they have a pretty set cadence of 2 years for gpus now and super refresh in the middle

[latent mural]

are there people a lot of ppl who upgrade their GPU every time a new one comes out?

[magic minnow]

Hell yeah frame gen on marvel rivals 214 fps

[cedar fog]

yes

[latent mural]

I didnt upgrade mine since 6 yrs lol

[cedar fog]

its probably becoming increasingly popular for some since the resell value doesn't seem to be that bad

[magic minnow]

Dude wtf is wrong with this game when it was compiling the shaders it brought my cpu up to like 88c

[ashen spindle]

thats normal

shader compilation puts a cpu at close to 100% load

normal game loads never get there

[magic minnow]

scary

[balmy vector]

Yes very normal stuff

[ashen spindle]

until it hits like 95+ nothing to worry

[halcyon moss]

88 is absolutely fine

[magic minnow]

oki tyty

[spiral island]

Even if it goes above 95 they thermal throttle now 🤷

[balmy vector]

Anything for Jeff

[spiral island]

Not gonna go above ~100, just gonna slow that roll

[balmy vector]

WTF?!

[cedar fog]

typical game nowadays

[balmy vector]

Thats illegal

[magic minnow]

whaaa silent hill 2 has frame gen 😮

[bold coyote]

I wont let you

[bold coyote]

be kind to your healers

[balmy vector]

I protect jeff with my life

[spiral island]

Support wins matches

[bold coyote]

and please help me when I have a tank and 2 dps on me

[spiral island]

Sorry best I can do is request more healing

[bold coyote]

guess you'll die after me

[spiral island]

Supports don't have to murder their teammates, just don't have to prevent them from dying 😉

[balmy vector]

At least they’re fine knowing theyll die after you

[cedar fog]

this might be schizo but i wonder if people were using github runners to scalp gpus

it feels like weird that github is down right when these gpu's release

[latent mural]

I am baiting, i will let you do all work while I drink chocolate milk

[latent mural]

is that a kitchen knife?

[vivid vine]

From all the post in here about Rivals, its starting to sound like Arma, minus the huge open map and pretty decent graphics

[latent mural]

Arma 3?

[vivid vine]

Reforger, Arma 3 runs decent these days

[latent mural]

Arma 3 was great, the working on custom maps was fun

[vivid vine]

Reforger and Rivals feel like they are in competition right now for who can be the most unoptimized game of 2025

But DLSS and AI is so cool

Its the future

[rough osprey]

cant wait for unrealengine 6

[vagrant pagoda]

180a is nuts

[vivid vine]

I cant even use that in a standard home here

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean unplug your stove

[vivid vine]

Soon in America we will need eletricians to come out and run new lines just for a gaming pc

People will need to factor that into top end gaming builds

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean we don't have dual GPU anymore. So unless you steal roboclocker you aren't going to deed 2200w

Also it's super common to have 2 20a circuits in offices in the us

[marsh glade]

I got so far as to put in my payment information and then that extra moment of second guessing "do I really want to shell out this absurd amount of cash?" got the better of me and I lost my allocation 😅

No 5090 for me
