“Fixing codes”

[quick geode]

anyone experience with this monitor?

[ashen spindle]

check rtings

[wheat plume]

67b9747dc3703918b24ad2af8862faf4d990

I wanna set up this UwU profile for Rapid Trigger, that spams TF out of the F and J keys when I hold it down
Is this done properly? using a combo of Rapid Trigger and DKS

[graceful wedge]

Ok guys

So to prepare myself before the technician dms me and tells me what parts I need replaced

I got pc repaired, new gpu and OS reimaged, still getting bluescreen/crashes, screen tearing, gpu won’t display monitors, and frame spikes, 990 not in boot drive

What are the possible suspects, 990 ssd and gpu, but is there any other that u guys think?

[ashen spindle]

could be anything but sounds like gpu, maybe the ssd especially if it never got the updated firmware

[fickle ore]

google search

[vagrant reef]

I'd pay closer attention to the bluescreen error code, might reveal more

Might end up being the mobo

[rain quiver]

How tf do people even know

[graceful wedge]

Prob got notifications on for deals or just frequently checking for deals

[rain quiver]

Im still trying to get something for msrp

Been trying since jan 30

[graceful wedge]

Pc getting wiped again 😔

It’s just doing ingame settings, that’s the only annoying part

[unkempt lake]

pointed that out to him ages ago and he never checked lol

because he was scared of updating the ssd's firmware...

[graceful wedge]

Yea, honestly didn’t want to mess with any software, hoping the technician will do it

[unkempt lake]

https://tenor.com/view/popcat-popcatsolana-gif-14460200874672146876

[graceful wedge]

Only software I downloaded was ccleaner tbh

[graceful wedge]

[unkempt lake]

which is trash

and doesn't do shit anymore

[graceful wedge]

What happend

[unkempt lake]

hasnt since windows 7

you dont need to clean your registry...

[ashen spindle]

anything it did is something windows does or ssds dont need anymore and at one point it even was used for malware lol

[graceful wedge]

Won’t make my pc preform slightly better/faster?

[ashen spindle]

not one bit

[unkempt lake]

no

[graceful wedge]

It’s so bad

This is the 3rd gpu 😭

[unkempt lake]

I tried to help you

You keep sending it back...

[graceful wedge]

I have no warranty 😭

[unkempt lake]

you do

I explained this to you already

You have a warranty from the gpu maker

Stop buying gpus non stop

Just because you don't have the microcenter warranty

Anyhow after 2 gpus the problem clearly isn't that

And those microcenter techs have tunnel vision

[graceful wedge]

So if I buy a gpu and don’t get microcenter warranty, there’s a warranty for the gpu since it’s new?

[unkempt lake]

YES

FROM THE COMPANY WHO MADE IT

[graceful wedge]

It’s been like 2/3 weeks since I got this 2nd gpu

[unkempt lake]

I EXPLAINED THIS TO YOU BEFORE

DO YOU NOT LISTEN

[graceful wedge]

Yea I remember

[unkempt lake]

sorry if i'm getting frustrated but like

[graceful wedge]

Nah I get it, I see how it can be frustrating

[unkempt lake]

I'm just repeating myself constantly with you

[magic minnow]

Apple perfected invitations

[sudden imp]

Mmm… I’ll just send a text like

“See you Saturday for John’s birthday.”

A week before the birthday

[magic minnow]

[graceful wedge]

@unkempt lake

@ashen spindle

[unkempt lake]

i did tell you to check the riser cable before

.-.

[graceful wedge]

Sometimes the pc would be fine for 1 whole day and crash the next day

[vagrant reef]

Just use it every other day

[graceful wedge]

I did 😭

Bad choice

[graceful wedge]

I don’t get it

What’s the issue with the riser cable?

Last guy reseated it

[vagrant reef]

Could be the cable itself

[unkempt lake]

cable itself yeah

or the mobo detecting shit wrong because its set to auto

[graceful wedge]

This is weird because on my pc when I plugged monitor display port to gpu, it wouldn’t turn on

Would only turn the monitors on if I plugged the display port to motherboard

[unkempt lake]

ugh

and that can mean there's a riser cable issue

which would explain why the gpu wasnt detected

[vagrant reef]

Yeah sounds GPU related. Either GPU itself or the riser

[unkempt lake]

no the gpu is fine

already been replaced lmao

[vagrant reef]

If you've been through 3 diff GPU's

[graceful wedge]

Should I let the technician know this?

[vagrant reef]

then it's the riser

You should tell the technician everything you've noticed.

[graceful wedge]

Alr

[unkempt lake]

just... dont yeet more money at the problem mindlessly

[vagrant reef]

Risers are very unreliable. We avoid them where I work

[unkempt lake]

like you did last timew

[reef patrol]

When in doubt, always remove the riser and test without.

[graceful wedge]

Ok I won’t

[unkempt lake]

That's what i told him months ago but he didn't

and the store just sold him a new gpu xD

[graceful wedge]

Would stress testing speed up the process of my pc not crashing in a whole day

[unkempt lake]

even tho his old one was still under manufacturer's warranty

[graceful wedge]

Since there’s times where’s it’s perfectly fine for a day or 2

[unkempt lake]

the whole point of a stress test is to crash the system yes

its why its called a stress test

...

shocking i know

[vagrant reef]

Could always give the PC a lil wiggle while it's on, see if it crashes 🤷

[graceful wedge]

I see,

I didn’t throw out my old gpus so that’s still good

Have the boxes and everything, I was kinda annoyed I didn’t tell them to recycle the gpu

[vagrant reef]

Put them all in and get 3x the fps

[unkempt lake]

if you had thrown it away WHILE ITS STILL UNDERWARRANTY

idk

idk what i'd have said

[graceful wedge]

It’s come across my mind a few times to throw the gpus out

Thank god I didn’t 💀

[unkempt lake]

I TOLD YOU IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT YOU COULD GET A NEW ONE FOR FREE

WHERE BRAIN

IS IT HOLLOW IN THERE

[vagrant reef]

Don't recycle GPU's sell them

[graceful wedge]

Possibly

[unkempt lake]

ITS UNDER WARRANTY

HE DOESNT NEED TO DO ANY OF IT

JUST SEND IT BACK

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hitting-head-on-desk-cat-insane-cat-gif-24842238

[vagrant reef]

Glass on glass will just scratch, no?

We need air-hockey pads. Infinite spinning

[graceful wedge]

@unkempt lake

@vagrant reef

[vagrant reef]

How many times have you replaced your PGU?

GPU *

[graceful wedge]

I got it once, was faulty, so I bought this one, 7900xtx

This would be my 3rd if I would decide to buy this

[vagrant reef]

How long you had this one?

[graceful wedge]

But going to do what dashi said and return this old one

[graceful wedge]

3 week around there

[vagrant reef]

You're either really unlucky or something else is going on tbh

AMD does have bluesreen / driver issues sometimes, so it's plausable, but on a 3 week old GPU

Doesn't seem right

Genuinely, before dropping $700 on anything

Get a different riser cable

Or go without one

The way it looks isn't worth the headache they can cause

My place of work NEVER use them

If customer asks we flat out no them

[graceful wedge]

I’ve been playing on it for those 3 weeks

With continuous crashes

[vagrant reef]

Only risers we may use if we need them are hard PCB ones, no filmsy cable

Or use a board that has space for them

[graceful wedge]

990ssd is at 100% health

My 990ssd wouldn’t show up in boot drive when it crashed

What’s the riser cables purpose?

[vagrant reef]

Moves the GPU to a different position

[graceful wedge]

Doesnt do anything for performance wise?

Just aesthetic?

[vagrant reef]

or too long,

But it shouldn't be too long, has to be HELLA long

[graceful wedge]

Hyte y60

[vagrant reef]

what case only has a vertical mount? 😭

[balmy vector]

Lmao that case apparently

What a ass design

[graceful wedge]

Oh dang what do u do

[vagrant reef]

Build systems, servers, 3d rendering, gaming, everything

[graceful wedge]

I got it because it was unique 💀

“Unique”

[vagrant reef]

[unkempt lake]

@graceful wedge i'm sure the gpu ain't the issue, it's the riser or the motherboard at this point

This shit makes no sense

Like

Don't they have another riser to test it with? Also the issue being intermitent... just saying "it worked with our test gpu" is kinda dumb

[vagrant reef]

Yeah super dumb

[balmy vector]

Yeah i dont buy that its the gpus fault

[unkempt lake]

I think they just want him to rrop money on another gpu again

[graceful wedge]

Microcenter

[unkempt lake]

Make a quick sale

[vagrant reef]

What GPU they testing with?

[unkempt lake]

That matters too, is it even a pcie 4 gpu or just a gt 210 lol

[balmy vector]

Do they not have a test bench to test the gpu on??

[vagrant reef]

Yeah coming out with $700 please is wild

They should be testing your GPU on another system too

Isolate as many things as possible

[unkempt lake]

@graceful wedge if you're gonna drop money on something, have em install a new riser

[graceful wedge]

Which one preferably

[vagrant reef]

One that works hopefully 🤷

[unkempt lake]

Ask them what they have

Idk what they have in stock xD

[graceful wedge]

Sorry about the late responses and the trouble what riser cables do u guys have in stock?

Hopefully he hasn’t finished putting the pc together

[graceful wedge]

What do u think it is?

[vagrant reef]

$100

[graceful wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[graceful wedge]

What’s the move

What should I do yall

[vagrant reef]

Sell the PC for parts and start again

[graceful wedge]

Shit might aswell haha

[vagrant reef]

ngl bro idk tbh.

If I had it in front of me I'd be able to help more and see what the issue is but everything seems cooked rn.

You need to try and recoup some funds from this somehow for a start

[graceful wedge]

Hopefully it works tho

[graceful wedge]

Yea I can get my old gpu and I’ll just head down with the gpu box and try and return that for some $

Not sure about the whole process since it’s my first time

Returning items

[vagrant reef]

I don't think dropping $700 is the way for a start

A 3 week old GPU shouldn't be causing these issues either

[graceful wedge]

Like even with the blue screen crashes it shouldn’t be broken?

[vagrant reef]

I wanna know what these blue screen error codes are

[graceful wedge]

Didnt check, it showed blue screen once, then from then on it would send me to bios

I didn’t save any of the crash info

Isn’t microcenter ethical big boy place?

[unkempt lake]

It'd send you to the bios? Without you doing anything

[graceful wedge]

Yea

[unkempt lake]

As if there was no boot device

[graceful wedge]

Yep

[vagrant reef]

Hey if I got repair targets, I'm gonna try and meet them

[unkempt lake]

That kind of issue makes no sense for a gpu error

[graceful wedge]

@unkempt lake

[graceful wedge]

990 isn’t in bootdrive

A bit hard to see

[vagrant reef]

I can see in the clip its reading the drive

[graceful wedge]

990 is operating system

[unkempt lake]

Ask then if they updated the 990's firmware

There was that batch of bad 990s

Did they bother?

[vagrant reef]

oh is it a 970 it's reading?

[graceful wedge]

I think so

[vagrant reef]

870?

Can't tell too blurry

[graceful wedge]

The other storage device is like usb

[graceful wedge]

970

[vagrant reef]

Says nvme 970 256GB ?

[graceful wedge]

This is all I got from his msg

[graceful wedge]

250gb

[vagrant reef]

Yeah, you got 2 drives?

[unkempt lake]

ugh

[unkempt lake]

Doesn't say much

[graceful wedge]

990 missing

[vagrant reef]

Yeah 990 missing

[unkempt lake]

https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2023/03/14/samsung-990-pro-critical-firmware-update/?srsltid=AfmBOorx86eqTBTluxfZsx-8nOOisDFJySuZhaPKxT1l11V1ongNOXwl

[graceful wedge]

When I get the pc back I’m going to actually install the software if it isn’t installed

When I get it

And if I get any more issues prob just going to quit gaming ngl

[vagrant reef]

Damn expo disabled, you crazy mf running at 4800mhz

[graceful wedge]

I just left everything at default

[unkempt lake]

Rn the last thing we need is adding more fuel to the fire

No expo for now

Until you figure out wtf the issue is

Lets not add variables

Update the 990's firmware

[graceful wedge]

Sounds scary

[unkempt lake]

If it still fails then put the os on the 970

[unkempt lake]

Look ask the microcenter guy

[vagrant reef]

That bios needs updating too

[unkempt lake]

That too

[vagrant reef]

Hella outdated

[unkempt lake]

It wasn't done last time

[vagrant reef]

Security vulnerability outdated

[unkempt lake]

Those techs haven't done shit

Fucking amateurs

Ffs with you paying to take care of your rig the least i'd expect is them to update the bios and ssd firmware

[balmy vector]

They definitely are crazy slacking

[unkempt lake]

Because they see he has money

[balmy vector]

Obvs

[unkempt lake]

And dropped 1k on a gpu the other day

Ven tho the other was still under warranty

@graceful wedge get the pc back as is and do the troubleshooting yourself, these guys haven't even checked the fucking basics

[graceful wedge]

Alr

[unkempt lake]

If you can ask them to update the bios and the ssd firmware

If that doesn't cost extra xD

[graceful wedge]

Should I actually ask lmao?

[unkempt lake]

Why not

What are they gonna tell you

we can't do it xd

[vagrant reef]

$500 please

[unkempt lake]

He knows i tried helping hom but he didn't listen to me

He kept taking it back there

[graceful wedge]

Can u guys update the bios and ssd firmware if it doesn't cost extra?

[unkempt lake]

...

[graceful wedge]

I feel like they won’t because they want more money

Dude it’s $50 fucking dollars to put a gpu in the pc

[graceful wedge]

This good?

[vagrant reef]

💀

[graceful wedge]

I don’t want it to look too blunt or wtv

[unkempt lake]

You went back twice for the same issue spend 1k on a brand new gpu and had the same shit happen again

If that doesn't piss you off

Or make you be a little blunt

[graceful wedge]

It makes me more sad then mad

[unkempt lake]

Tell them the bios or the ssd firmware could be the issue and those 2 haven't been updated

[vagrant reef]

They even update the graphics drivers properly when installing the new GPU?

[unkempt lake]

It's why im waying point out that nothing was done

And ask for a refund

[vagrant reef]

Like run a full DDU + reinstall?

[graceful wedge]

I tried to update the gpu drivers ifrom windows and it said it was up to date

Not sure if that says much

[unkempt lake]

Like i mean it's a pretty good argument that they didn't do the basics

• 2 visits + 1k dropped on a gpu that didn't fix the issue

Ask for the machine back without fees

[vagrant reef]

Second you get it back, make sure to run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), nukes every scrap of the driver, then re-install them. It might help, might not 🤷

[unkempt lake]

#🔌│tech message

Ironic...

[vagrant reef]

I really wanna see the BSOD error code though, it really shows what's wrong

[unkempt lake]

I tried making him do shit becore

He didn't

[balmy vector]

Lmaooo

[vagrant reef]

OMG

No way dude

That shit is free and takes like 20 mins, not even

[gentle osprey]

$50 for a bios update is insane

[primal plank]

Can anyone tell me the best monitor under $1000?

[graceful wedge]

@vagrant reef @unkempt lake

[vagrant reef]

Bro gotta hit insurance quota 😭

[graceful wedge]

Do u guys think when I get it back itll be fixed or nah I got ripped off and they temporary fixed it

WAIT

?????

[unkempt lake]

Ok that's good

[graceful wedge]

Dumb it dumb for me big bros

Heart dropped earlier

[unkempt lake]

He's saying shit will be free

Because aame issue as last time

And its been less than a month

[graceful wedge]

Bet

[vagrant reef]

Next time it blue screens, if it blue screen, take a picture of the screen, make sure you get an error code

It genuinely narrows down so much

[graceful wedge]

Couldn’t bring my phone up fast enough to do that, but I’ll try to search on YouTube a way to pull up crash codes

[vagrant reef]

If they haven't cleared the logs, they should be on there somewhere

[graceful wedge]

Logs prob cleared

I think my pc data and all that was wiped but I’ll see tommarow

[unkempt lake]

I'm looking at the MCA warranty thing and

It actually seems... surprisingly decent

like

i'm trying to find where the catch is tbh

[vagrant reef]

I've heard decent things about microcenter but I'm not American so I don't really know what they're like

[unkempt lake]

Same

[vagrant reef]

Over here it's horrible

[unkempt lake]

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/assurance-plan.aspx

[vagrant reef]

Curry's is our PC place and it's actual dog water

[unkempt lake]

but covers up to 10k in parts

[graceful wedge]

Is that typical of companies tho? To try and get u to spend more money on things u don’t need

Like gpus/false repairs?

[unkempt lake]

yes

[unkempt lake]

normally not

[graceful wedge]

Shit

[vagrant reef]

They're just as bad as mechanics for finding and fixing problems

They got targets to hit usually in the repair centers. Insurance to sell, etc.

[unkempt lake]

I'll say tho the warranty aint bad for just parts replacement

From what i read

^^

[vagrant reef]

State of UK version of Microcenter

[unkempt lake]

if they don't serve curry im gonna sue them for false advertising

[coral girder]

Should i get an rtx 4080 super or 5070 ti if the price diff is only like $50

4080 super $50 more

[vagrant reef]

Performance wise they're pretty much identical

You'd probably better off getting the 5070 if it's cheaper

[magic minnow]

That’s gonna be most places, just look at car dealerships

[vapid ruin]

https://ai.meta.com/blog/llama-4-multimodal-intelligence/

Meta released new AI Model, llama 4

The AI community where I'm at says it's ass though

Haven't tested it on roleplay though

only on LM arena, seems to have problem keeping OOC instruction intact.

[analog sinew]

they added a fucking ai button to whatsapp

[vapid ruin]

o shit

[delicate temple]

Guys what do yall think about the ace 60 pro?

[winter patrol]

It’s fine for the price

[analog sinew]

yeah

i'd have switched messenger long ago

but gl getting the boomers on there

[delicate temple]

My friend says its better then the wooting bro 💔

[winter patrol]

Nothing wrong with liking something else

[delicate temple]

Yea i mean preference is preference

He said it has a better response time tho thats what i mean

Also said its better quality

[winter patrol]

Latency it's faster, not noticeable but still

Build quality I'd say about the same

Software's a bit worse

And it's $20

Oh and no strap

[delicate temple]

Strap??

You mean like for the wooting 60he

Oh nvm i koe h you mean

[raw zephyr]

sometimes it's not the sharpest day... locked myself out of a server because i was so damn sure i already copied over the .ssh folder...

[balmy vector]

Hmmm 290 usd quest 3 on marketplace

[leaden kiln]

purchase

[balmy vector]

Definitely gonna at least check em out in person, seller lives super close to me

[rose bear]

which is a better SSD? Crucial T705 or Samsung 9100 Pro. I'm using my PC mainly for gaming/streaming and uploading videos

[vagrant reef]

I don't think you'll notice a difference between them, but if you wanna be safe, then the 9100

[cursive summit]

I don't think we know enough about the 9100 PRO to judge how good or bad it is

I've seen zero reviews and reliability tests on it

I guess same with T705 but I'd lean to trust Crucial a bit more

[rain quiver]

Why you buying expensive ass ssds

Buy a mp44l

[cursive summit]

Not as expensive as you think they are tbf

I still remember when a 128GB SSD was expensive, and those were SATA

2TB for sub-200 nowadays? Even closer to 100 than 200 with some PCIe 4 models? And over 10,000 MB/s transfer speeds? For me that's a bargain

[analog sinew]

thats a STG44 not an MP

but props for using assault rifle the time where it is appropriate

now the burgers cant complain

[misty matrix]

there was, and you are looking directly at it

[analog sinew]

apparently all were used

til

[misty matrix]

I think originally it was designated as a machine pistol/smg but they later figured it has a bit too much punch for that and a designation like an assault rifle would fit better

[old marlin]

"full intermediate cartridges" are not a thing

the new thing about it to begin with was the intermediate cartridge, up until then most rifles were either pistol caliber or rifle caliber (or above with light machine guns or squad automatic weapons)

[cursive summit]

Tbf 9x21 is kinda intermediate cartridge, 9x39 is kinda a "full intermediate" version of that

[delicate temple]

Guys is this monitor good
philips evnia 27m2c5200w/oo

[ashen spindle]

its fine I suppose

if you want to find something good check the rtings monitor tests

[delicate temple]

I just need a atleast 240 hertz monitor thats under 1000 polish złotys and is 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 and is curved

[ashen spindle]

go check rtings listings then or monitorsunboxed if they have something they tested in that range

[cursive summit]

Who even makes the philips panels nowadays

Repackaged HKCs maybe?

[pale sigil]

WiFi 7 is wonderful for streaming games over WiFi

I wish my laptop was as smooth

[nimble arch]

Waifu 7 is a cool standard

Too bad my only WiFi 7 device is my iPhone and I don't have a new enough router.

Maybe one day I'll upgrade

[fair gull]

any vue wizards around?

[pale sigil]

Aye, I get 500 down In my kitchen but on my other devices 200 lol

In my bedroom I can get 900 down without worrying as much too

[nimble arch]

Although I get 500/100 in the opposite corner of my house using WiFi 6

On an ISP router

[pale sigil]

My jsp router went straight into the loft the moment I got it

Once the engineer left actually

[nimble arch]

Some of the ASUS WiFi 7 stuff seems pretty decent

Might see if I can get the ZenWiFi BT10 two pack with a discount through my work's discount scheme.

[pale sigil]

Unfortunately I can't recommend the Archer BE550

[nimble arch]

Me using the Virgin Media Hub 5

[pale sigil]

Guess how many virgin routers I had over the span of 4 years

I dare you

[nimble arch]

Yes

7

[pale sigil]

14

[nimble arch]

I've had 5(?) in about 5-6 years

[pale sigil]

Absolutely garbage routers

[nimble arch]

Wait, maybe it's just 4

[pale sigil]

Especially the superhub 3

That one was abysmal

[nimble arch]

Hub 3 x 2
Hub 4
Hub 5 very recently

[pale sigil]

The hub 3 should never have been given to consumers...

[nimble arch]

Hub 5/5X is actually much better. Although RIP anybody with a Hub 5X in VM FTTP areas, there's no modem mode yet.

[pale sigil]

That's another thing I don't miss about virgin, having to use modem mode and a router.

[nimble arch]

I'm waiting for OR FTTP to get that ONT

[pale sigil]

With talk talk and Vodafone I can just plug directly to fiber, or well it concerts it to ethernet.

[nimble arch]

Although EE's WiFi 7 router also seems pretty good so I'd probably just use that for a while

[pale sigil]

*coverts

There's a box where they splice it, I think that's the correct term?

So ethernet just comes into my house.

But the glass fiber cable ends outside my window, it's so clean compared to coaxial.

The spacing triggers me

Her water is about to break.

[unkempt lake]

I should check on my iphone x

[pale sigil]

Probably going to plan a final backup

Get it all done in one go... Eg I need to transfer my steam guard

😂

[wheat plume]

MacBook Air or Framework 13 AMD?

I'm curious to give MacOS a proper try
And the battery life of MacBooks is unmatched

But also, framework has repairability and official Linux support too

[nimble arch]

MacBook Air

It'll have better resale value at the very least

[wheat plume]

I literally have never once put anything onto a second hand market
Just found someone I know to sell to instead xd

Gimme me an actual usage reason not resale

I also don't need to buy storage for the framework laptop cause I already have a 1tb m.2 SSD

So automatically that's 4 times more storage than the MacBook Air

[analog sinew]

dont buy apple cause they suck that is an actual reason

[wheat plume]

They do
But I am tempted to give MacOS a proper try

[dull hollow]

i have an m3 air and the battery life is insane

[wheat plume]

Yeh I know!!

They have awesome battery life

[dull hollow]

can easily last 10 hours at like 50% brightness

if youre just watching content or typing

[wheat plume]

Wait that's way worse than what I heard

[dull hollow]

i never am able to test the full battery life

i can usually get it down to maybe 35% lowest

[wheat plume]

Any battery life is better than the laptop I have now

[dull hollow]

on average theres still like 40%

[wheat plume]

Oooohhhhhh wow

35% left after 10 hours of use???

[dull hollow]

and i use it as a battery bank for my phone xd

but that drains it really fast

[wheat plume]

No shit zd

[dull hollow]

more or less, yeah

[wheat plume]

Damn ok

I'm intrigued by MacOS
But miss me with iOS

iOS is not appealing to me at all tbh

[dull hollow]

i mean i only use like 2 apps on my mac lol

browser and discord

mainly using google sheets, doc or apple's notepad app

[ashen spindle]

get the mac so you also can get used to how macos works and maybe that helps you at work

[wheat plume]

Can you make isolated web apps on MacOS?

[wheat plume]

Work is taking Microsoft so deep, I doubt they would ever switch to Mac

[dull hollow]

i think as long as its Safari then yes

(im not 100% sure)

[wheat plume]

Windows
Teams
Outlook
Microsoft Edge
Azure
Whatever tf Microsoft database is called

They do use iPhones for anyone who needs a work phone though

[ashen spindle]

yeah but are you going to stay at that place forever or know what someone might bring in one day

[wheat plume]

I guess so

I know how MacOS works as a basic desktop workflow cause of videos I watch about it

And I'm also mostly up to date with new OS features cause I watch videos about each new major version

[ashen spindle]

yeah but theres a difference to seeing videos and getting used to using it and knowing whats obvious upon using etc.

[wheat plume]

Yeh

What mainly pisses me off is the touchpad
Afaik you can't enable tap to click

You got to push down on it

I need tap to click and two tap to right click

[steady sail]

uhm u can tap and click on macbooks touchpad tho

[wheat plume]

Wut

[steady sail]

u are talking about macbooks touchpad right ?

oh wait yeah u can do both the push and thats the click and u can just tap and click

[ashen spindle]

already a good example of it would be so simple to just use it and see what works vs going off of youtube assumptions : p

[wheat plume]

Ok cool

[wheat plume]

True
But then I'd have to deal with trying to find someone to sell it to if I don't like it enough to keep

[ashen spindle]

oh no reselling a mac, its only one of the best resell value keeping laptops lol

[wheat plume]

Cause the store I buy it from isn't going to take it back on return because the packaging isn't fully intact
.-.
I call BS on that policy

[nimble arch]

Can you not order from Apple directly?

[ashen spindle]

I assume its a heavily refurbished or similar model and not brand new

[reef patrol]

You're in the EU. Act like it.

14 day return. If the packaging is torn (no, plastic wrap being off does not count), they can at most devalue the return

[scenic thunder]

Get ready for the worst email client ever lol

Nothings more fun than trying to use outlook search and it can't pick words out of the subject line lol

[unkempt lake]

Is this mandatory anywhere in the EU?

I'm just curious

[astral haven]

AFAIK it's mandatory everywhere

Only in the member states ofc (get wrecked UK and Switzerland)

[vagrant reef]

It's over here too.

(UK that is)

[gusty kiln]

[vapid ruin]

Can't have issue if you update the driver once a year

[wheat plume]

Yeh it is horrific .-.

Feels so clunky too like some app from the 80s

[wheat plume]

Most of the issues we get are related to outlook crashing or talking too long to open or can't find the mail server for some reason .-.

[reef patrol]

Yes. Covers all online purchases within the EU

Member countries can do more, but not less than this

[modest forum]

How long does a delivery usually take?

[rough patrol]

Of what

[reef patrol]

However long the courier states I suppose.

[rough patrol]

A block of granite?

[reef patrol]

https://hub.wooting.io/my/account
The hub will show you the estimate of your order.

[frozen ingot]

I even managed to return an e-scooter I opened the box on and test drove down the block, the seller tried to argue against it all they liked but I just calmly cited the consumer right laws and eventually they caved

so yeah opened box ain't nuthin

[reef patrol]

Can't inspect or test the product, if you can't open it. But if you break the packaging in a way that goes beyond the minimum required to open it, then the seller can reduce the refund somewhat. And any arguments there would be in small claims court, if Y'all can't agree.

[pale sigil]

Is that 4GB for AI?

Or am I misunderstanding it

[umbral heron]

4GB of swap, or whatever phone manufacturers call it these days
On Samsung it's called RAM Plus, so I have 4GB of swap, so it says 6+4GB

[pale sigil]

Oh

Wake

Wait

What Samsung phone uses that little ram

That was a stupid question

[umbral heron]

M34
Only 199€

[pale sigil]

You like to suffer I see

[umbral heron]

How come? Works great, does authentication, Balatro, YouTube and Discord, I don't need much more

[vapid ruin]

Third world country exist tooo

[umbral heron]

I just don't want to spend more than 250€ on a phone, it doesn't really make sense to me

[compact relic]

always felt the same way

[balmy vector]

Not thinking AI enough, pay 500 dollar

[compact relic]

except my budget's always been 200€

I've had Nokia G42 for a few years now, i think i paid 169€ for it

does everything I need

[umbral heron]

For next phone I'm getting myself Kyocera Keitai 3

[wild coyote]

Never seen this available on oneplus phones (probably cuz I got nord 4)

[distant tapir]

Did 5080 FE go down in price everywhere?

It decreased from 14,499 to 13,590 in Norway on Nvidia's website

[analog sinew]

hmm yes it went down by 50€ here on their website

what does it matter none of em are availble still

[distant tapir]

It turns up for sale here and then

[rough osprey]

there was one price adjustment bc of exchange rates

for like all the cards

[elfin niche]

Wtf went from 5700x to 7900x both using 3090 literally doubled my fps in 1080p

[reef patrol]

[coral girder]

1080 is more cpu dependent

Also depends on what game

[steady sail]

i mean after a GPU upgrade my fps got better even at 1440p

[marsh glade]

It's called a fire sale

[analog sinew]

thats when you buy 50 series on discount

[umbral heron]

thats when you buy 50 series on discount

[balmy vector]

That’s when you buy a 9070xt

Again

[analog sinew]

wait have they burned too?

[balmy vector]

Idk I was waiting to see how that 12vhpwr one held up in the end

[cursive summit]

No fuckin way https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Radeon-RX-9070-XT-Grafikkarte-281023/News/BIOS-Flash-1469905/

It's the RX 5700 bios flash upgrade method again

9070 non-XT becomes XT with a bios flash

Virtually identical actually

You don't get the CUs, but you get the power limits and core speeds

I think they are still there, same silicon?

Just hardware disabled, outside of maybe some factory tools, nothing will bring them back

But even then, they ain't coming back

However still, RX 5700 with a bios flash was very very close to an XT in performance even with missing CUs

I am very interested in how 9070 non-XT will do with a bios flash

@ashen spindle I remember you saying this will not be a thing, they locked it down so much it's not possible

[ashen spindle]

cant remember, but it is a lot worse now so outside of doing it as a hobby there isnt really a point in doing it

[cursive summit]

If stability holds up, saving a couple of pennies is.. fine?

9070XT is in high demand, non-XT less so

[ashen spindle]

you dont save anything because it directly crashes into inefficent clock regions to do the same as the Xt with more cores

[cursive summit]

That doesn't make any sense to me, what do you mean by that

You get performance

[ashen spindle]

you use vastly more power thana 9070xt

[cursive summit]

Obviously at extra watts

But you get performance

[ashen spindle]

and power isnt free

[cursive summit]

And stability hit

But if you don't want to spend more for the GPU, you can save a bit and flash better BIOS for extra performance at the cost of more TDP

That is very much a considerable benefit

[ashen spindle]

you get idle state crashes, you get instability issues down the line at random points, you likely lose warranty, you run reallyt inefficent to save the 50$ at launch and pay more than 50$ in power cost on top, and then you need to compare it to a tuned 9070xt because if you tune one you'd tune the other

[cursive summit]

Tbf you do pay far more than 50$ for a non-XT than XT

[ashen spindle]

undervolt the xt and you get even more performance at lower powerdraw

[cursive summit]

I see RX 9070s for 150 euros cheaper than the XT

Will the 9070 with a bios flash ever incur you costs during its lifetime exceeding 150 EUR?

And you can still undervolt the 9070 the same way you'd the XT but the stability will prolly be questionable

Can't argument on the hypotheticals, it'll either be unusable or close enough to the normal XT, need more info to know for sure

But it's a cool little thing to consider for tinkerers or savvy folk who want to save a bit

[ashen spindle]

no if you want to save money you dont do this you take the stock 9070 and just UV and powerlimit that

and here XT is only 80 not 150 more atm

[jagged canyon]

hello, are there any giveaways to tell if a pcb is a 60HE or 60HE+? Trying to buy used and wanna make sure

[cursive summit]

You had me in the first half ain't gonna lie

hello, are there any giveaways

[reef patrol]

You're unlikely to find many 60HE+'s used.

[marsh glade]

Only need one

[reef patrol]

Hah true I suppose

[misty pecan]

Hi i have a noob question (Idk if this is the right channel to ask), If i switch my wooting switches to different switch like gateron jade pro. Do i lose some of its features, like changing the actuation point or the snap tap?

[balmy vector]

Nope, only your max actuation changes per the switches spec (iirc that’s 3.4mm on jade pros). You can treat the actuation slider in wootility as a percentage of the switches actuation distance

[misty pecan]

tysm

[wheat plume]

How much better is that CPU that warrants a 400 euro price difference??!!

[ashen spindle]

wild how the picture has basically all the info

[balmy vector]

The lanapost of lanaposts

[vagrant reef]

I'd stay it's 2 cores, 4 threads and an extra .2ghz better

[wheat plume]

Definitely not worth it

Probably

[balmy vector]

For AI!!!

[halcyon moss]

I mean.. Yes

Quite beneficial for ai

[sudden imp]

One question why?

[magic minnow]

We gonna bring back dinosaurs!

[crimson wigeon]

Hell yeah!

[plush stirrup]

My GPU I got as warranty replacement doesn't show fan RPM 😢

GPU-Z, AMD Adrenalin, HWInfo, ASRock Tweak, nothing shows it xD and it defaults to 100% fan speed which is ~4000rpm on 3 fans when I use it in game 😭

[unkempt lake]

Ddu?

[plush stirrup]

I did, in safe mode without networking

Even used AMD Adrenalin's "factory reset" function, which should also delete old drivers when installing their software again

Could be pulling 410W and it'd still show 0RPM xD

[vagrant reef]

Shoulda gone nvidia

[plush stirrup]

I know, I regret not doing it

card is a few months old, already had to deal with ASRock support once, because webshop refused warranty, driver crashes every 4hours to every 2 weeks, rattling fan...

now the new one has no rpm sensor I guess

[dull hollow]

if there werent so amy issues with the 50 series drivers and the insanely overpriced cards, maybe

[vagrant reef]

Don't go 50 series then, 40 series goated

[steady sail]

40 series has the same issues as 50 series tho LMAO

[dull hollow]

40 series are discontinued (as of rn) so 2nd/3rd hand market

[vagrant reef]

I've not had any issues 🤷

[dull hollow]

and we all know resellers are NOT selling msrp

[vagrant reef]

AMD no matter the generation has driver issues

[ashen spindle]

That’s just false

[steady sail]

Since i got my 6700 xt i never had a single driver issue lol and even on rx 9070 no issues at all

[dull hollow]

havent had any other than some mods just not working well with AMD cards which was known and i tried it anyways

[plush stirrup]

I tried 2x 7800XT they had no driver crashes, were laggy though, after a few weeks of usage I started getting lag spikes, but at least no driver crashes

[dull hollow]

i ran a 2070 super before upgrading to a rx 9070xt

[ashen spindle]

anecdotal evidence of "it runs (not) fine for me or the 5 people I know" is never the full picture and things change, amds driver were horrible but massively improved since rdna2 onwards, and nvidia has still had issues all the same and the 50 series is filled with them

[vagrant reef]

Never said it was common. Just a lot of issues I've seen with systems and AMD cards are most of the time driver related. They were notorious for it for a while

[ashen spindle]

yes, were, past tense

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/NTXoUsdSAnA?si=Bc8eeDI_q1n_5Bn8

Nvidia's "stability" xd

[dull hollow]

im on the beta game driver that @unkempt lake told me to get and it has been working pretty well

[vagrant reef]

Yeah 50 series has not had a good launch

[unkempt lake]

There's issues on everything rn

[ashen spindle]

its not just 50 series, multiple games atm tell 40 series owners to rollback to last years drivers if they encounter issues

[unkempt lake]

I saw issues on the 2080, my brother had issues on his 3080

[ashen spindle]

which isnt great when you wanted up to date drivers for the latest games lol

[dull hollow]

some games required latest drviers to even launch when i had my 2070 super

[unkempt lake]

Ye it works really well and patched the few little quirks from the 9070xt's launch

Minor quirks but yeah

[unkempt lake]

Are you sure something else ain't wrong with your system?

Could be anything really

Could also be your os that's fucked xD

[vagrant reef]

Could be a bios setting

Running at Gen 3 instead of 4 etc

[plush stirrup]

Worked fine with 2 separate 7800XT's and my old 7900XTX

[steady sail]

Nope

Im using gen3 x16 on my non-xt 9070

[unkempt lake]

But you just said it didn't you said you had fps spikes

Also correct me if im wrong but

[dull hollow]

dunno who gov group is and the one listed on ebay (asus tuf) is broken

[vagrant reef]

are you magic-vpn?

[unkempt lake]

Weren't you the guy with the sleep bug after he updated his bios?

I swear your name sounds familiar

[ashen spindle]

why does it matter its not like it can be found now when its no the same hardware anymore?

[steady sail]

Its just a cooler for 500$ LMAO

[plush stirrup]

well I could see rpm on those 2, but those 2 had lag spikes

On my replacement 7900xtx (for my old 7900xtx which had a rattling fan and driver crashes) it doesn't have any lag, but it also doesn't show fan rpm

[plush stirrup]

Sleep bug?

[dull hollow]

i shouldve just bought nvidia man 😔

[unkempt lake]

Do you have a bootable linux perhaps

[steady sail]

Nope but it doesnt matter if u run gen3 or gen4

[unkempt lake]

Could be something with your os

Just boot linux on a usb and check shit that way

If it works then great if it doesn't then i'd blame windows

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-3-2.html

Also perhaps try the optional driver for march

[dull hollow]

new + recently sold @steady sail

[plush stirrup]

I do but it's on my other drive could on a USB perhaps

[vagrant reef]

It was an example of a bios setting, hence etc.

[unkempt lake]

Won't show in adrenaline but i saw some nice fps improvements on my 7900xtx with ac shadows

and been running it for weeks

[plush stirrup]

blame the OS when it works on 3 of the 4 cards?

[unkempt lake]

Do you want help or not

Its not a complicated thing to test

If you're too lazy to boot off a usb then that's just stupidity

[plush stirrup]

calling me stupid now?

[dull hollow]

bro who bought this 😭

[unkempt lake]

I gave you advice, windows can be pretty dumb sometimes after hardware changes

I said isolate the variables

Run a linux usb

[plush stirrup]

What command do I run in terminal after I installed that?

[unkempt lake]

Technically between the rma and now you could have easily had a windows update or whatever

Like it can be a lot of things xD

[plush stirrup]

besides, bootable USB won't install drivers afaik

[ashen spindle]

wait isnt the replacement card running fine? whats to fix there

[plush stirrup]

so I need to swap my HDD's out so I have a bootable drive

[plush stirrup]

Once I run a game fans go to 100%

[unkempt lake]

His fan speed ain't showing in software despite running

There's also the chance that... you may have just been unlucky

And the fan controller is busted

They generlaly send refurb units not brand new ones

[plush stirrup]

Which is kind of what I'm thinking, because the fan curve is horrible

[unkempt lake]

May just be a botched refurb unit

[plush stirrup]

my old card ran maybe half as loud as this one, if not quieter

[unkempt lake]

Then i'd just contact the manufacturer again

They probably sent you a bad refurb unit

Instead of a new new one

[plush stirrup]

Well I did, though being without a GPU again for a month will suck xD

[unkempt lake]

What brand is it

The card

[plush stirrup]

ASRock, they seem very helpful though, so if they can't fix it they'll probably replace it again

[unkempt lake]

I know XFX can do like an advanced rma where they charge your card while the other one is in transit

Evga also offered that

So does sapphire i believe

Rip evga they had good cs

[vagrant reef]

I swear ASRock have nothing but issues with their products

[plush stirrup]

Well for me it went like this, asrock asked me to send it to the webshop, webshop sent it to asrock, asrock sent it back to webshop, webshop sent it back to me

[unkempt lake]

Really depends on what you're buying from them

Their gpus have always been a bit of a shitshow

[vagrant reef]

I guess avoid their mobo's and GPU's

Their mobo's are notorious

[unkempt lake]

Their mobos it really depends on the generation

[plush stirrup]

Why their motherboards? mine's running fine

[unkempt lake]

Like

[unkempt lake]

There's 9800x3ds dying on asrock x870 mobos but it's still unclear if it's just because their sales are good as there's been cases on other brands

[vagrant reef]

They just seem to have a high failure rate. If yours works, then great.

[unkempt lake]

Their x670 and b650 range was good

[plush stirrup]

Z790 here, the fucked intel CPU range 😄

though ASRock was the first one to release intel's new microcode out of beta

[unkempt lake]

But gpu wise asrock will not honor your warranty if you repaste a card

Which makes them a nogo for me

[plush stirrup]

if there's bad thermals send it in for warranty?

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue repasting is just... servicing the card

If i change the oil myself on a car rsther than go to the dealership i still keep my warranty

Same shit should apply to pc parts

Yes you could send it back but as you said

1 month without a gpu sucks

If you do it at home properly and then they give you shit for having opened the card despite it being like a completely unrelated failure

[plush stirrup]

I live where they have to prove I broke it, or rather the webshop does

considering the webshop has issues noticing a rattling fan I'll win that easily

but that's only during the 2y of legal warranty, the last or third year manufacturer warranty will be different

[steady sail]

I would record a video about the issue and send it to asrock support

[plush stirrup]

the issue is just it shows 0RPM in every software, and fans go way too high for normal usage

[steady sail]

Yeah and its an issue

[plush stirrup]

Well yes, I'm not saying it's not an issue, but a video won't really help them, it's likely that my phone will make it sound less loud compared to what it actually is

it's possible that flashing another bios on this card fixes the issue, when the card arrived here, the switch was set to quiet mode, that most likely has a reason 😉

but that's not my problem, it has 2 modes and both should be usable, I think I might try quiet mode tomorrow see if that has any rpm values

[nimble arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNNOLFLzTNA

Why does that look so much like that guy from the aussie skit channel who works at a tech store and plays MMOs.

https://www.404media.co/framework-stops-selling-some-of-its-laptops-in-the-u-s-due-to-tariffs/

murica

[ashen spindle]

what

why wouldnt they just add the tarrif cost ontop if people want to pay it instead of stopping it all

[vagrant reef]

Weird why they wouldn't just pass on the cost premium. Give the people what they voted for

[ashen spindle]

its only some models so its not like they are saving costs by halting all US shipments

[reef patrol]

Because... they'd rather not have to deal with angry customers over raised prices?

[ashen spindle]

I mean then you dont sell anything because everyhting you sell will have some angry customers eventually lol

[vagrant reef]

That's true, the costs of having all the CS reps having to reply to people might outweigh things

[ashen spindle]

idk make a post about it, list tarrif tax to make it clear on checkout and there shouldnt be many complaints?

[vagrant reef]

Just auto reply trump's mugshot

[unkempt lake]

you expect people to be intelligent

they're not

look at the debate i had in game this morning trying to explain shit to people

xD

[ashen spindle]

thats why you split it up visually and list it so the people who dont understand it see it

[bright briar]

dashi with tunnel vision supporting a trash gaming company calling others stupid

[unkempt lake]

i mean... earlier you literally were trying to claim the switch 2 was being delayed because people were upset with the price

which is factually false

these tariffs are devastating xD

come on dude

literally it's because like every other company out there they're stuck with this mess

[bright briar]

thats exactly what happened and then they used tariffs as a reason to why they stopped preorders in the USA

but you do you

[unkempt lake]

they'd have delayed shit worldwide if it was because "people are angry", not just in the us and if anything things will be more expensive

in the us

[bright briar]

The nintendo preorder only stopped in the us

[unkempt lake]

exactly

meaning this has nothing to do with people being upset

it has to do with tarriffs

nintendo doesnt give a fuck about a few people spamming a livestream

[bright briar]

the tunnel vision is real i can’t

[ashen spindle]

no thats not tunnel vision that is whats happening

no new tarrifs and they would not have stopped pre orders

[bright briar]

yes i know tariffs are happening

[ashen spindle]

yeah and if they had not suddenly increased them in random amounts, nintendo would've just let people do the normal pre order

[unkempt lake]

the only reason why they stopped is they can't guarantee people won't have to pay more than what they paid online

[bright briar]

yup thats where the negative back lash comes in from the community

[ashen spindle]

nono the negative feedback came from the launch price, then there came new tarrifs which means they would have to increase price even more

so they are waiting to see what happens before deciding on what to do

[nimble arch]

Switch 2 is going to do very well and normalise supposedly bad pricing. The era of $80 USD AAA is here.

[unkempt lake]

our money aint worth shit anymore

it's just what happens

[nimble arch]

Console and accessory pricing, at least in the UK, isn’t any higher than the competition though.

[unkempt lake]

i'd say the same thing if playstation or ms woulda have done it

[unkempt lake]

70usd digital 80usd physical

[bright briar]

i promise you if it didnt recieve negative feedback nintendo wouldnt have pulled the preorders

[ashen spindle]

no they still would've pulled it

[unkempt lake]

they'd have done so even with a positive reception

just like every other company is scambling

hell look up framework is stopping all sales in the us

razer is rancelling orders

[bright briar]

yeah forsure… greed nintendo

[nimble arch]

I promise you that you’re wrong and the core audience for consoles, middle earners basically, are going to lap this shit up in all markets.

[ashen spindle]

it has nothing to do with greed

[vagrant reef]

Nintendo have been receiving negative feedback for years, they're pulling pre-orders cause of tariffs.

[ashen spindle]

it has to do with they cant tell how much tarrifs will be on the country in the month that the switch goes on sales so they would have to constantly change price in the pre order

because they cant adjust pre order pricing without refunding every purchase everytime trump increases the tax

[unkempt lake]

and the retailers wouldnt want to deal with it either

[nimble arch]

If negative internet backlash worked, explain NVIDIA.

[unkempt lake]

also i think i proved my point as to why tarriffs cannot be explained to people @ashen spindle

lack of understanding of basic economics

[ashen spindle]

I mean no he just thinsk the negative pr was more impactful

but you need to understand to keep the price they basically need to change the cost from 450 to 540, you cant just add a 100$ charge to pre order prices

and what if it gets increased again, you think they can just add 100 then another 50-100 a month later before people even get the console?

thats why they dont have pre orders, because thats a mess to deal with

[bright briar]

your ignorance gives you tunnel vision

[nimble arch]

The feedback is pretty much all positive in any normie circle I’ve discussed the Switch 2 in/with.

They’re going to do very well with this console and game pricing. It’s so over for some of you.

[ashen spindle]

no its really not tunnel vision, it is very obvious that the tarrifs that could constantly change are the reason alone

its not because negative pr or greed, its because they cant set a price when they dont know how much tarrifs are constantly changing

[unkempt lake]

same thing i noticed here

people are all just like oh a new donkey kong game just like the nintendo 64

literally most of the normie chatter i heard is people being nostalgic and wanting it for that title alone

[nimble arch]

It’s a luxury hobby at this point and the pricing reflects it. Make of that what you wish.

[lyric hatch]

Would argue it's still a relatively cheap hobby for how much time is spent using it per dollar

[nimble arch]

I don’t disagree but time spent per dollar is also how you get padded games. Plus the higher entry prices ultimately price many lower earners out of the market entirely. It’s easier to call modern AAA console/PC gaming a luxury.

[lyric hatch]

Depends really it can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it. I've played 600 hours of terraria a game I purchased for $2 on a steam sale

[rain quiver]

I found another 4090 for $1500 should i buy it

[ashen spindle]

that sounds like a scam at that cheap price lol

[rain quiver]

Its not

Ok ill buy it then

[ashen spindle]

I mean if it works and you want it, sure

[rain quiver]

Alot more people in my area selling 4080s for msrp i check the market everyday

So its making me wonder if 50 series stock will be fixed soon

[rain quiver]

How do people make sure it works if we’re meeting at a police station

Last time i bought a 4090 the guy came to my place and let me test but this time is different

[ashen spindle]

bring your pc and a ups in the car lol

no idea

[rain quiver]

Is the 4090 like 40% better than a 9070xt or something

[vagrant reef]

What a strange comparison

[dull hollow]

@rain quiver prices still fucked where im at lol

I have a 9070xt so its not strange

[vagrant reef]

It's a mid-range GPU vs the best thing nvidia offered before the 5090

[ashen spindle]

like 30-35%

[rain quiver]

Ebay is different, shit always sells for higher there but you make way less cuz of the fees + shipping + insurance + potential return + potential scam + if youre new to selling high value items then you have to wait 30 days for your money

[vagrant reef]

It'll be roughly 40% better

[rain quiver]

Its annoying af trust me i was gonna sell my old 4080super there

Local is where the real deals be

[rain quiver]

I know

Hmm 35% better for more than double the price

[vagrant reef]

You get all the bells and whistles of nvidias software though too

[rain quiver]

Its a gigabyte one with the box and receipt but for $1500 thats kinda goody i mean i just sold my old 4090 for $2000 a month ago but it was an FE and i feel like stock is getting better now

[ashen spindle]

yesh like having to use last years driver or new games might not work on the 40 series

[rain quiver]

My 9070xt was $600 or $650 after tax

Ima try to negotiate a lil

[rain quiver]

My 4090 was amazing so i dont believe none of that

Im having way more issues with my 9070xt just as usual tho

Defo better than my old 7900xtx in terms of stability tho

[ashen spindle]

I mean its multiple games at the moment lol

[vagrant reef]

My 4070 Ti Super is solid as a rock, everyone I know irl who went AMD has quirks

[ashen spindle]

inzoi/first berserker khazan both have a notice about it

[rain quiver]

Damn its funny cuz i played that games demo on my 4090 before i sold it and it was great

Was using the 50 series drivers too

[ashen spindle]

at least you wont get a card that needs a vbios flash or it only gives you a black screen on launch lol because that was only the launch bios of the 4090

yeah same the demo ran fine on my 4090

[rain quiver]

Idk man i went from a 7900xt -> 6950xt -> 7900xtx -> 4080 super -> 4090 -> 9070xt and all 4 amd gpus had hella issues but both my nvidia ones were flawless

[unkempt lake]

The more drivers the worse it got

[dull hollow]

the only “major” issue i had was my gpu OC resetting but that was because of MSI Afterburner

[vagrant reef]

I dont use afterburner anyway, most nvidias nowadays overclock themselves just fine 🤷

[dull hollow]

forza thing was unrelated, idk why uts fucked

[ashen spindle]

yes but one persons system out of millions could be anything, it could be whatever gpu you install now runs fine or not fine, neither case will be indivative of anything because it could be any part of the pc thats causing it

[unkempt lake]

It's about equivalent really

[rain quiver]

Nah why would any other part make the amd gpus have issues but not the nvidia ones lmao

[ashen spindle]

but for most users on average the drivers are fine for anyone on newer cards even on 50 series where nvidia is shitting the bed if you get unlucky

[rain quiver]

It was obviously the gpus

[ashen spindle]

because they dont work the same way so it could be a windows setting, it could be a board issue that doesnt get hit when nvidia gpus access data etc.

[rain quiver]

This guy said he’ll let me test at his house if i bring my pc

Is it still worth $1500

[unkempt lake]

You'll just flip it anyways

[ashen spindle]

you need to decide what you want to pay for it

[unkempt lake]

Like you did with the other 4090

Literally all you post on here about

[rain quiver]

Im gonna use it no one buying them for $2000 now

[ashen spindle]

you know the performance difference so you need to decide how much you want to pay for it

[rain quiver]

Why you lying

[unkempt lake]

Ok where's your previous 4090

[rain quiver]

I sold it cuz im not dumb

[unkempt lake]

That you posted on yere abour buying

[rain quiver]

Yeah and??

Why would i not sell it

[unkempt lake]

Coulda just used it

[rain quiver]

I did? Not my fault 50 series stock made the prices spike

[unkempt lake]

Wlso weren't you worried about 12vhpwr melting

[rain quiver]

I had the receipt so

And this new one has the receipt too

Blame the person who sold me it for like $1300 and then after that blame the person who bought it for $2k

[vagrant reef]

It's the connectors that are faulty. I have a MSI 850PG that came with a beefy connector that plugs straight into the PSU, very stable, secure, not melting any time soon

[unkempt lake]

nope

[vagrant reef]

Yep

[unkempt lake]

It's the load balancing

Cards have no load balanding

Its why the 3090 ti didn't melt

But 40 and 50 series do

[ashen spindle]

they arent faulty they just run on such thin margins that without proper balancing you run way too high of a current on a single 12c line

a good connector only helps avoiding edge cases where the pins dont make contact since the sense pins dont actually check for that

noice

[primal plank]

I wanna get this monitor, but I don’t want to run 1080p while gaming. I have a 4090 and a i9-14900KF so I think I could run 4K fine, currently at 1440p I run R6S at around 450fps but idk how much more demanding 4k is. https://a.co/d/8B01cw5

[primal plank]

Should I just get a 1440p 240hz monitor or should I get that one? I need help

[unkempt lake]

50% more intense

But you can always use dlss

Looks good at 4k

[royal parrot]

Bro I bought a model PG32UCDM, I have rog Strix RTX 4090OC version , i9 13900k and just trust me you don’t need any monitors , I read some articles about PG32UCDP and these monitor has some issues between switching mode from 240hz 4k to 2k 480hz and viceversa, I suggest to buy the model PG32UCDM that in my opinion is the Queen.
The perforamence of FPS depends on which game you’re trying to run on 4K, mostly of games are not optimised and even you have better card and everthing you are not still getting 4K Ultra on 240hz but maybe 200fps

[dull hollow]

3500? jesus

[royal parrot]

I wanna try also the new model XG27UCDMG with 27 inch Display with highest DPI, I tried the model PG27UCDM and refunded after 2 days, the first thing I didn’t like it from this monitor was actually the quality of packaging and the cable DP 2.1 like 90cm-100cm , is too short the cable and bad quality of 1200€ of packaging without sponge from of the display and the proximity sensor without protection that makes think like second hand.
I’ve never seen better packaging of caring like in model PG32UCDM etc….
If you have a graphics card like 4090 and less, you don’t need any monitors with DP 2.1 beacuse they cannot support it on the back so I wasting money.

[royal parrot]

Leave it and buy 4090 if you find it , also you should add the bills later of electricity in 1 year, wasting money for fake frame rates , wait for 6090

[dull hollow]

i just got a 9070xt, not upgrading anytime soon

[steady sail]

Im more than happy with my rx 9070

[royal parrot]

Good decision , on my setup I have i9 13900 that was the worsted decision I ever take

[dull hollow]

im pretty sure the 4090 is more expensive than my entire system 😭

[royal parrot]

Is much better AMD processors

[royal parrot]

1 year and a half I paid 2400€

Now the price is much higher haha

[steady sail]

The cheapest 2nd hand 4090 is 1700€

[dull hollow]

yup… def more expensive than my entire system

[royal parrot]

This is the actually price on Amazon

[unkempt lake]

Fucking hilarious

[steady sail]

[royal parrot]

3500€ , I thing second hand with perfect condition is like 2500€

[dull hollow]

5.2k is insane

[royal parrot]

But watch out ⚠️..
There are some Scams and bad quality connectors

[steady sail]

Oh waow 3090’s are down to 600€ LMAO

[dull hollow]

yeah ik, im never buying one lol

[royal parrot]

Some 4090 are going to sold beacuse are from mining cripto etc.. , they are finish

[dull hollow]

i just dont need a xx90 gpu

i play 1440p on a 27”

[royal parrot]

I tried to switch from 4k to 2K 480hz , is not possible , is like playing Minecraft 😅🤣

[dull hollow]

i have a 360hz oled from samsung (g60sd)

[dull hollow]

i have yet to try a 4k monitor and im afraid that even a small experience will ruin 1440p

like how experiencing oled vs ips was

[royal parrot]

My heart says only 4k minimum

QD-OLED 4k 240hz you should try like PG32UCDM in real life not on video

All videos on YouTube are compressed

[steady sail]

4k monitors are just out of reach and not worth it if u dont have top-end hardware

[dull hollow]

yeah

[steady sail]

With a 4090 sure

[dull hollow]

im only running a ryzen 7 7700x, i doubt that and a 9070xt will run 4k at the refresh rate of my monitor

[steady sail]

But that card is still the 2nd fastest gpu on the market

[dull hollow]

i also just dont own a lot of single player story games to fully appreciate 4k details

[steady sail]

Imo even 1440p is enough for that

[unkempt lake]

It's fine with a 7900xtx

[steady sail]

First we need to reach the point that 1440p is gonna be the mainstream and not 1080p

[unkempt lake]

Or a 4080 super

[dull hollow]

1440p pixel density at 27” is only noticeable like 6 inches way from the screen

which im never that close to my display so it doesnt matter

[steady sail]

Either but i still enjoy/appreciate games scenery

[dull hollow]

its very nice in wuwa

especially force enabling RT

[steady sail]

Im the same with ac shadows

[thin marsh]

Pixel density > resolution

Both are connected tho
