If its a US order, then itll ship from US, otherwise itll be from the netherlands or hk

[midnight storm]

I ordered to the Poland

[rough patrol]

Then it ships from the nether

[midnight storm]

Alright, thanks

[umbral heron]

2~3 days since shipping from Netherlands

Consistent across 5 packages

[midnight storm]

Can't wait 🥺

Youtubers/Streamers are broke.
Also them:

Man makes Skylines 2 videos, and somehow needs two iMacs and two Desktop PCs with 5080/90 cards in them. 😄

[vapid ruin]

I feel like for Skylines 2, you can at least justify 9950x3d or even 9800x3d... Maybe give it 5070ti. I don't know what he's doing with the extra 3 computer though.

a macbook for video editing everywhere is fine though

[reef patrol]

I just find it amusing how a lot of the creators I follow have a very "Just a guy working from home and doing what he loves on a shoestring budget, pls Patreon so I can eat", and when they do setup videos, it's like you're visiting Linus HQ 😄

A brand new, high end gaming PC just to encode a stream? Sure
An iMac just to do video editing? I mean... Is editing on Windows such a pain, when you've got a 9950x3D or the likes? 😄

[ashen spindle]

if you have almost a million subscribers they arent ona shoestring budget anymore

[reef patrol]

Sure - The illusion just persists until it's suddenly completely unmasked 😄

[crimson wigeon]

All the cool people edit videos on Macs!

[reef patrol]

Man's just casually going to and from work with an 8TB NVME. That's 6-700$ of "oops I dropped it"

[nimble arch]

My mobile carrier have enable 5G Standalone in my area. Can't say my indoor 5G speeds are any faster.

At least it's fully 5G and not falling back to 4G for some functions.

Me at home on WiFi so it's just WiFi Calling instead

[umbral heron]

For me in the middle of city 4G is slow as heck, 5G is really good though

[nimble arch]

The Vodafone 5G in Lisbon was incredible. I am jealous. I was able to get gigabit download speeds

[reef patrol]

I disabled 5G to conserve power. Not like I ever watch video anyway.
Coverage is a bit spotty where I live, due to tall buildings and not enough antennas (I assume)

[nimble arch]

Fastest 5G download speeds I've gotten in the UK was roughly 500 mbps in London.

[pale sigil]

It's stupid fast in Liverpool

[nimble arch]

Upload speeds could be better, IMHO, but otherwise it's fast enough as a mobile hotspot when Virgin Media decide to stop working.

[marsh glade]

"STOP DOING X" is one of my favorite meme formats of all time

[umbral heron]

Denuvo cracker?

Who you calling a cracker?

ahem Excuse me, was still feeling a bit deranged 😅

[rough patrol]

Same

[rough osprey]

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MGKN4AM/A/40w-dynamic-power-adapter-with-60w-max

very honest product lol

Can't seem to find an EU Version tho

[halcyon moss]

40 watt, but also 60 watt?
wat

[rough osprey]

Its like many other chargers

You can get the max charging rate till its thermally limited

They just telling you

instead of naming it a 60W charger

[umbral heron]

I went through tens of chargers
Not one does that

[rough osprey]

You testing longterm power output ?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, with this

https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/1082860.html

is coot

[vapid ruin]

this could be nice for quest 3s since it has no 3.5mm jack

[rough osprey]

so on a laptop?

[umbral heron]

Via USB-C too, yes

[rough osprey]

so apple wants 115€ for a 3149mAh powerbank 😭

[old marlin]

It does tho

Oh wait nvm

[vapid ruin]

you making me second guessing myself lmao

[old marlin]

Yea i misread it as quest 3 plural

[vapid ruin]

I mean, could still be nice for quest 3 since I don't think its headphone jack can drive heavy headphone

[old marlin]

You mean the ones you don't wanna use with VR anyways?

[vapid ruin]

I meant high impedance headphone

[rough osprey]

hm interesting, have heard of stuff like this happening before but can't really find tests on phone chargers used on laptops

the apple one might just be optimized too do the 60w for as long as the phones can do it or sum (which should be a pretty short amount)

although the phones just mention 30w lol

[umbral heron]

I heard that some 100W Anker chargers drop to 70~80W really quickly

[rough osprey]

while last years models reached 37w and got advertised on 30w aswell

hope someone tests it

[topaz schooner]

Tell that to Pantone.

[rough osprey]

https://www.theverge.com/spotify/775189/spotify-lossless-streaming-flac-audio

WHAAAAAAAAAATTTT

same price too

bye bye tidal

[umbral heron]

Tidal still cheaper

[rough osprey]

i got a year of premium for 15€

[umbral heron]

[steady sail]

“There is a catch, however. Spotify’s lossless option tops out at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC. Apple Music, Tidal, and Qobuz all offer HiRes FLAC support at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Granted,”

[rough osprey]

good

[frozen ingot]

has to be mastered for 192 to tell a difference anyways

and most music is not

[rough osprey]

the overwhelming majority wouldnt find a difference between 320kbps and Cd quality

[umbral heron]

Good luck with finding a DAC that can do 24bit, let alone person who would hear difference

[marsh glade]

Diminishing returns, this is a great upgrade and going further isn't necessary especially relative to the extra bandwidth it would cost (Spotify)

[frozen ingot]

24-bit is like every dac made in the past 15 years probably

[rough osprey]

and like basically everyone is using bluetooth nowadays anyway

[umbral heron]

Oh sure, on input
Not really on output

[sudden imp]

debating on getting spotify premium vs youtube premium

[rough osprey]

both

youtube music app is uhmmm

not great...

[vapid ruin]

can agree, especially if you watch youtube for 2-4 hours a day or have it in background

[rough osprey]

but you can get both cheaper with a vpn

[vapid ruin]

also can agree, it's 'good enough' as something I use to play music that I found on youtube and having global access.

[sudden imp]

hmmm, I was hoping it woud be good enough :c

[vapid ruin]

spotify lack some song that I listen to

[rough osprey]

youtube is very easy with vpn - can even keep the same account

spotify kinda wants you to get a new account

[pastel galleon]

gotta get a local set of music files

[vapid ruin]

when I get dap, which is prop never

[sudden imp]

Spotify has the majority of anime OST's however youtube music also has all the youtube videos music wise

so its kinda a toss

[vapid ruin]

If you can stomach missing some and having higher quality, spotify can be a go

[rough osprey]

yt kinda op

cuz everyone can just upload lol

[leaden kiln]

I like that you can add your own files into the queue and playlists, and also mix podcasts into them

[vapid ruin]

I'm okay with what I have on youtube music, has niche song from japan all the way back from 2003-2006

[vapid ruin]

gonna keep youtube music, having another subs is pain

[leaden kiln]

I think you can use your own files on yt music too, you just have to upload them to there first

[ashen spindle]

We can confirm that, besides the specs, everything else, including the launch and pricing rumors, is made up and fake

[reef patrol]

Not bad! That's almost double from my 3080 😄

[unkempt lake]

New gpu?

[ashen spindle]

are there any old 9070s around

[unkempt lake]

i was trying to ask if it was his lol

[reef patrol]

[unkempt lake]

Or if he was just looking at benchmarks

[lunar elm]

Nice performance uplift

[unkempt lake]

I just hope it was msrp

And not overpriced to shit

That's the problem with 9070xts right now

Great card but so many models are overpriced

[ashen spindle]

no its not, its very simple to get msrp prices in europe

[unkempt lake]

Oh neat

Here they pop up once in a while

[reef patrol]

700€ for the 9070XT, 200 for the waterblock.

[unkempt lake]

That's almost the cost of a 5080... at that point why not just get that?

[reef patrol]

Hahaha no it is not.

[unkempt lake]

Have you been able to squeeze that much perf out of the waterblock?

[ashen spindle]

How is that even close… 5080 water blocks aren’t free

[reef patrol]

It's never been about performance. It's about noise level and aesthetics.

[unkempt lake]

Im saying 5080 sir cooled

[reef patrol]

A 5080 will run me about 1100€ right now, with a 200€ waterblock on top. So... 1300€ vs 900 😄

And the 5080 would definitely have required me to buy a new PSU as well.

Also... I did originally order a 5080FE, but my order was cancelled out of the blue, so took that as a sign to stop rewarding nVidia.

[frozen ingot]

stop wasting money on watercooling you live in scandinavia for peeps sake

[reef patrol]

In Scandinavia - Where my home office is often over 30C during summer?
Also again - Not performance, noise 😄

[frozen ingot]

30c for a week

[reef patrol]

(and looks)

Try two months straight.

[frozen ingot]

didn't realize denmark was on par with egypt

[unkempt lake]

They're around 1300cad here rn

[reef patrol]

Again - Home Office. Not outdoor temp 😄

[misty matrix]

its never hot in europe, and there is proof to that no less

we wouldn't have polar bears if it were hot

[unkempt lake]

I have 2 pcs in the same room and they're very quiet and aircooled

Even if there's a 1 week heatwave

[reef patrol]

We have different concepts of quiet. When I game, I don't want my fans to spin up and go loud. And that's what every single GPU I've had in a decade has done. 😄

[steady sail]

The only loud part in my pc is the AIO

[lunar elm]

https://tenor.com/view/second-stage-initial-d-can-throw-takumi-gif-4776338738852163411

throws can drives to nearest electronic store buys 9070xt

[unkempt lake]

they... don't tho

[misty matrix]

wait, you're right, they don't

[unkempt lake]

Then again i do run noctua fans

And cases with good airflow

[ashen spindle]

if egypt was only causing 30C in a room I think I would move there because then its cooler there than in europe lol

[misty matrix]

mansen, could you please rescind the statement about your personal rig based on your personal experience with it?

[reef patrol]

Noctua fans on your GPU?

[misty matrix]

thank you

[unkempt lake]

no in my case

[steady sail]

The AMD Radeon Rx 7900xtx Noctua edition

[reef patrol]

Your choice of case fans won't keep the GPU from going brrr

[unkempt lake]

But literally the most my 7900xtx spins at is like

1600rpm

Its not audible

Well barely

[reef patrol]

My 480 was loud, my 2080 was loud, my 3080 was loud.
That's roughly a decade back I think?

[ashen spindle]

is this another case of dashi not understanding people have different preferences and if mansen says you two have different definitions for quiet that cant be the case?

[unkempt lake]

The 2080 was louder than my 7900xtx @reef patrol

Especially because one of the fans had started to fail xD

[reef patrol]

There's also that whole sunk cost thing. I already paid for the bulk of my loop. Might as well spend the 200 bucks on including my 9070XT in the loop, than have 3x360mm radiators and 9 fans cool just my 7800X3D

[unkempt lake]

But yeah since its gone for the 9060xt + the 9700k being gone for the 7600x3d

Its so quiet now

[lunar elm]

my 5090 on silent bios is relatively silent tbh

its mainly the AIO fans screaming

[steady sail]

I would wanna know what is the ambient noise level at Mansen vs Dashi

[frozen ingot]

I struggle to hear my pc even when gaming

[distant tapir]

I'm going to get the Fractal Define and optimise every part for silence which should be pretty quiet

[steady sail]

Just put pc in a sound room

[lunar elm]

cool temps=silent pc

like they say, happy wife happy life

[rough osprey]

quiet pc is easy

[lunar elm]

Yeah just put it in an industrial freezer

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-oguri-cap-uma-musume-horse-anime-gif-17347673281835370557

[rough osprey]

😭

[brisk topaz]

Loudest gpu i ever had was msi gtx 295

[vagrant pagoda]

2pcb or single?

[thick elk]

I still remember my reference blower hd 7950, I think I almost instantly bought a Accelero Xtreme III, after that quietest gpu I owned, even with a big oc that eventually killed it (5 years later)

[digital cliff]

I had the accelero extreme II weird time when you could buy aftermarket air coolers for cards

[reef patrol]

Saved my bacon twice.

Had a Radeon ...4550? or something's fans die. Back in Burning Crusade days. I was a broke student and it helped me keep playing without buying a new card and living on school lunches for months.

Also got one for my 560TI I think it was, cause the heatpipes collapsed.

[bright briar]

anyone see the leaks of the 5070 ti super being 24gb

[reef patrol]

[steady sail]

Just like the 5080 Super

[bright briar]

fr loool

[vagrant pagoda]

4000 would have been RIGHT before wrath\

[reef patrol]

Hmm... it's been so long, and I used a different email back then. All I remember was those numbers...maybe a 48? dunno. It was a low to mid end game by the time I got it.

[brisk topaz]

Dual pcb

[vagrant pagoda]

i got a x700 pro right after og came out

[steady sail]

And both 5070 Ti Super and 5080 Super, just gets 8GB+ VRAM and plus 50w base power

[vagrant pagoda]

and i remember my buddy got a 2900 cfx system right after tbc

he had a og cfx with the domgle that i still have

[reef patrol]

https://www.arctic.de/en/Accelero-Twin-Turbo-III/DCACO-V820001-GBA01
Found this in my oldest email,s but I think that's the one I got for the 560TI judging by the compatibility list and it being 2009 😄

[vagrant pagoda]

and it was so much better without the stuid cable

[brisk topaz]

What was ati’s first gpu they ever released and how good was it

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah it was amazing

it was actually compativie

radeon was og ait

just like geforce was nvidias og

things were FLYING in those days

geforce 256 to geforce2 was like 5 months

and it almost doubled performance

[brisk topaz]

I just remember having a potato pc and games were like a windows 95 laggy slideshow screensaver for me hahahahahah

But they were still fun. Games today are just sooooo bad and people feel like such sweats with no social aspects

[vagrant pagoda]

prob no 3d at all

[brisk topaz]

Ans you call people out for being ass and they just ban you

[vagrant pagoda]

all cpu

[brisk topaz]

Had 3d for sure.

I was playing games like quake and unreal tournament

[vagrant pagoda]

you didnt need 3d for games back then

[brisk topaz]

Oh you mean no 3d hardware?

[vagrant pagoda]

you could do it all on cpu

[brisk topaz]

Ohhhh

[vagrant pagoda]

quake and ut99 can run pure cpu

[brisk topaz]

Idk man i was young this was like 25 years ago

[vagrant pagoda]

same will HL1

[brisk topaz]

I just remember having so much fun never getting bored. Games today i play 1 match and im like ight ima go do something else

[vagrant pagoda]

you needed 3d hardware to turn up the detail

[frozen ingot]

pretty sure unreal 1 required 3d acceleration

[vagrant pagoda]

but most games would run withouth

[brisk topaz]

I can distinctively still hear both the guy ajd girl announcer in my head. Killstreak with the girl orgasming and going HOLY SHIT

[vagrant pagoda]

100% has software renderer

ut was softare

then got glide, then opengl, then finally direct3d

epic is why everything is 3d

epic couldnt make a opengl renderer to save thier lives

meanwhile quake2/3 ran like butter

[bright briar]

9080 xt though

[ashen spindle]

there is no 9080xt

[vagrant pagoda]

thats just being carmack was always 10 times the coder sweeney was

[ashen spindle]

and there probably will not be one

[brisk topaz]

I miss epics gears of war and unreal games. Fortnite ruined all of that

I fired up my epic launcher with my unreal tournament games in my library and it just tells me unavailable and wont even let me download them

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah there is no die for a 9080

[brisk topaz]

Paid money for them to be taken away from me

I haaaaaate epic games

[vagrant pagoda]

you can download them on steam still XD

[brisk topaz]

BRO HOW TELL ME

[vagrant pagoda]

if you owned them on steam before egs

[frozen ingot]

unreal had amazing graphics for the time but tbh it got steamrolled in most other aspects by half-life

[brisk topaz]

I paid money for them on epic launcher way long ago and they took them away from me

[brisk topaz]

Fuck. No

[vagrant pagoda]

also ut should work on egs

if it dosent let me know ill fill a ticket

i do epic playtesting

[brisk topaz]

Tells me unavailable and download bar grayed out

And storepage doesnt exist

But shows i own it in my library

[vagrant pagoda]

you doing ut99

not the canceled new one

[brisk topaz]

Unreal tournament and the newer one unreal tournament

The 1999 version and the 2014? Version

[vagrant pagoda]

ut99 is the og

[brisk topaz]

Yes

I played that one both on ps2 and pc

Do you remember red faction multiplayer with the rail gun that had wallhacks? Lol

I remember lan parties with an honor system of rail gun being banned

[vagrant pagoda]

ill check when i get home

but you should be able to get 99

[brisk topaz]

Alr ty ion

[brisk topaz]

Can i buy ut99 elsewhere otherwise?

[reef patrol]

Buy a 25 year old game?

[vagrant pagoda]

its free

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-confused-what-rabbit-cute-gif-15285567

[vagrant pagoda]

oldunreal.com from epic

https://oldunreal.com/

[brisk topaz]

WHERE

[brisk topaz]

This is legit ?

[vagrant pagoda]

ut99 has been free for a LONG time

[brisk topaz]

Ah yep pcgamingwiki takes me to that website

[brisk topaz]

Dude idk i havent tried to officially play it again since like 2003

Now i wsnt to for nostalgia sake i remember it being one of my favorite games i stayed up all night on

[vagrant pagoda]

i think all of epics ols stuff is free

so i have ut99 on steam but its on vendor access, so i dont think i actually owned it

[brisk topaz]

Ionstorm you are awesome for all this info man

[vagrant pagoda]

epic must have sent it out for something

[brisk topaz]

Im actually ecstatic to play ut99 again

Does it have online support still?

[vagrant pagoda]

ive been doing epic playtest starting with ut2004

yeah, there is a patch to fix the servers

[brisk topaz]

Omg

[vagrant pagoda]

i wish epic would do a id and make it opensource

but ue1/2 are good enough for modern titles XD

also i wish epic would do something other than fortnite

[brisk topaz]

I stopped playing ut around 2002-2003 because command and conquer renegade came out and that games multiplayer engulfed my life until i discovered warcraft 3 around 2005 and then the custom games in that engulfed my life for a while then i got splinter cell chaos theory around that same time had a blast in spies vs mercs then i discovered wow existed around 2007 and i was engulfed in wow until cata came out and cata made me quit wow because it was soooo bad especially after how good wotlk was i was like bruh this breaks my heart

[vagrant pagoda]

fortnite started as a tower defence farmville combo XD

pivot of the century

[brisk topaz]

Me too. Fortnite is fun to meme on the building spammers and do rick roll emote on their corpse and talk shit though

[vagrant pagoda]

oh i mean before it was released

[brisk topaz]

I love just watching them spam a skyscraper for me to just destroy it from the bottom then they fall and die and scream in the mic

I dont even know how to build in the game xD

[vagrant pagoda]

egs, ut and fortnite where a package thing

[frozen ingot]

I've never touched fortnite

[vagrant pagoda]

it was a wave based tower denfece thing

[brisk topaz]

Can you play the og gears of war on pc still without the disk?

I have my original disk still but curious if theres an easier way

[vagrant pagoda]

but then you had this overmap that had cooldowns and shit like farmville

then it slowly shifted in like 2014-15 to a pve multiplayer shooter

then to pvp

[crimson wigeon]

And then PUBG was the massive hype thing and they made that battle royale mode and made it free and the rest is as they say, history

[vagrant pagoda]

luckily all the money and time they spent on UT ment they had the tech in the engine to make the pivot

[brisk topaz]

The only battle royale i liked was pubg and that was because it was slower paced and i could actually think tactically and the gunplay felt more realistic. I could implement my real life training to the game and come out on top lol

All the others felt cheesy and arcady and felt like they were easier to cheese and cheat

[vagrant pagoda]

i playedthough all the early testing

[crimson wigeon]

Still waiting for save the world to become free by the way!!!!!

They said it would happen!!!!

[vagrant pagoda]

who knows lol

i got a fancy dogtag thats it

got a ingame skin and name tag/color thing but no one knows what it is

lol

[brisk topaz]

Doesnt even look like a real dogtag lol looks like some temu knockoff

[vagrant pagoda]

its real metal and gold plated

[brisk topaz]

No i know its just the shape they made it

Why couldnt they have stamped it out of the proper shape

[vagrant pagoda]

its a ticket

[brisk topaz]

Oh

[vagrant pagoda]

like raffle

that used to be a ingame currency for the pve

you had to mine for wood/stone/metal but you had to buy traps

i have pictures somewhere

[bright briar]

just rumors nothing confirmed

[vagrant pagoda]

nah there isnt even a die out there

they would be using it for workstation

og EGS

[brisk topaz]

So 9070xt is the fastest we get from amd?

[reef patrol]

For now? Yes.

[vagrant pagoda]

they havent even done any rnda4 workstation stuff

as navi31 is faster than navi48

they have onyl annouced the 48 based pro

if there was a bigger die they woudnt be advertising that as the top end

[ashen spindle]

Pro cards are out already

[gentle osprey]

Technically 7900XTX

9070XT has FSR4 support and better RT tho

[nimble arch]

I’d recommend the 9070 XT solely due to FSR4

[gentle osprey]

Same

[nimble arch]

Especially as ML-upscalers are slowly becoming mandatory

[gentle osprey]

But I was just saying the 7900XTX is technically the faster card

Or fastest*

From AMD

[bright briar]

also most of those cards dont have 12pin connection

[gentle osprey]

This guy was asking me for pc help, said he wanted a new GPU for around $400

I told him he’s better off upgrading CPU

Thoughts?

[steady sail]

If he lucky he can get his hands on a 5800x3d

[gentle osprey]

That’s what I was thinking

[sudden imp]

i agree a 2080ti will last him quiet abit more with a 5800x3d

[gentle osprey]

Yeah same, cause someone tried to tell him 4060 but that’s weaker than a 2080ti

And I feel like if he upgrades GPU, the CPU will just hold him back

[lyric hatch]

Tell bro GPU market has stagnated and he'll need to drop more money if he wants a meaningful upgrade

[sudden imp]

He mind aswell upgrade the cpu and then he could wait till it’s EOL and get all new parts if he super rearing for latest and greatest

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I pretty much told him that generational performance hasn’t been that great and his 2080ti is still decent just doesn’t have the new features like DLSS4 and FG

That’s why I recommended 5800x3d cause he’d need a bigger budget for GPU upgrade

[sudden imp]

I mean he could also get a newer cpu like 9800x3D but would that be a bottle neck?

[steady sail]

And more than 400$

[sudden imp]

oh wait yeah hes got a budget mbmb

yeah his best option is am4

[unkempt lake]

Dlss4 transformer is on 20 series

Fyi

You just gotta go enable it in the nvidia app

2080 ti is still plenty

Just toss in an x3d chip

[unkempt lake]

Especially cuz of the vram its still great

[gentle osprey]

oh is it, my bad, I couldn't recall

[unkempt lake]

I kinda regret getting a 2080 instead of a 2080 ti back then, because the market stagnated so much, if i had spent the extra 500 back then I wouldn't have had to pay 475 for a 9060xt 16gb for nico today and back when i was the one using the 2080 i would have had more frames :P

[gentle osprey]

but yeah that's what I was thinking

[unkempt lake]

But hey i guess the total ampunt of money is the same in the end? Lol

[steady sail]

Lolz

[unkempt lake]

What sucks is its not a bad card its just so limited by vram at 1440p and in some new titles

[tribal dirge]

RTX 5090 babyyyyyyyy

[astral haven]

Its not

[wheat plume]

Hmm
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is faster than the 10 Pro XL
Lol wtf Google ?

[nimble arch]

Google wish they could make in-house SoCs like Apple can.

[wheat plume]

Yeh fr

The Apple M series is really amazing
AMD getting pretty close though

[lyric hatch]

It's close under load but on idle chiplet falls way behind

[old marlin]

the 10 Pro XL is limit testing customers

[old marlin]

the m series has barely improved since launch

[ashen spindle]

not chiplet related, lunar lake on intels side is chiplet and basically has better idle than apple in most cases

[old marlin]

like it's not magic, apple just paid for top notch node and that is what they got

then add their horrid thermal management of their previous intel macbooks and that is the result you get

[ashen spindle]

amd desktop chiplets suffer because its cheaper to package it this way

not because of chiplets

[lyric hatch]

Fair

[old marlin]

chiplet is basically just for yields

otherwise they wouldn't make top of the line server cpus as chiplets lol

[ashen spindle]

because if you compare strix halo it has super low idle, zen5 desktop super high, and its because the packaging difference

next gen will use the better way on desktop too so thats not really a concern anymore

just doesnt make much sense with early zen to go for expensive packaging just for lower idle on desktop

[old marlin]

wasn't strix halo not even that good for efficiency

in comparison to strix point

[ashen spindle]

talking idle bc halo is using chiplets just like desktop

point is monolithic

[old marlin]

ah

[lyric hatch]

Seems like a decent upgrade in the ~3 years between M1 and M4

[ashen spindle]

also very likely that both amd and intel are beating apple next year in efficency because they have N2 chips before apple

[old marlin]

you can just ramp up performance by increasing TDP

what does the efficiency look like since that is what actually matters lol

[devout raptor]

damm thats a cheap oled

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

afaik reskinned asrock?

[ashen spindle]

no thats nzxt, saphire is branching into the mobo business

[old marlin]

ah, was just stupid rumors

welp, I greet another player in the mainboard market

https://geizhals.de/sapphire-pulse-b850m-wifi-52123-04-40g-a3577336.html?hloc=de

price also seems ok

[ashen spindle]

damn if that was 2 dimm slots that would be a really sick board

wait wheres the wifi chip on that

[old marlin]

if I were to guess under that large block on the left

I know why companies don't make 2 dimm boards but 4 dimms is just stupid

[ashen spindle]

do they place m2 wifi chips that close to the vrm?

[unkempt lake]

yes

[old marlin]

not like they are much further away usually

[unkempt lake]

Msi does it too

[ashen spindle]

they have 2 dimm boards thats why it wouldve been more likely

[old marlin]

yea but those are cheaper ones

[ashen spindle]

that just doesnt have wifi

yeah but if this had wifi it would basically be the same lol

[old marlin]

the A620AM does

glad they are trying to do reasonable boards first

instead of launching a stupid expensive 870E board as the very first board

[ashen spindle]

2 dimms, wifi, 2 m2 and one x4 for expansion would've been an amazing entry board for value

[old marlin]

even their "best" board is only B850

[ashen spindle]

they did show one at computex

but that makes sense that they want something for the entire stack eventually

[vagrant pagoda]

sapphire is a og, they made mobos ages ago

[old marlin]

Yea but haven't in ages

[vagrant pagoda]

they make one every now and then

the used to be amd/atis version of pny

they made the ref mobos and video cards

my #2 wishlist board is a ati express sapphire

my x79 has a sapphire in it as my asus ws-e is dead

[gusty kiln]

only thing missing from the sapphire B850 mobo is a gpu latch button

hope that feature trickles down to cheaper boards soon

[vagrant pagoda]

just cut the tab off XD

[gusty kiln]

oh yeah asus does that now

[vagrant pagoda]

i have never once seen a gpu stay connected with the tab

there isnt really a way for anything to flex in a way that the tab would hold on

[gentle osprey]

Not to be a Nvidia shill but I just realized DLSS 4 can be run on 20, 30, 40, and 50 series while FSR 4 can only be run on 9000 series

[ashen spindle]

sorta

new features dont and the upscaling gets hard on 20 series but yes it works

[gentle osprey]

yeah true cause it requires more

[ashen spindle]

fsr4 is coming to rdna3, if you would urn it on older cards like rdna2 it wouldnt give you a benefit

[gentle osprey]

Oh did they confirm it coming to RDNA3? I can't recall

[ashen spindle]

but correct, due to 20 series starting to add more hardware for non gaming it lets them run more things on it

well, they said they were looking into it, linux devs made it work and leaks are showing they will have something

so, you can run it with workarounds, but its probably coming with the bigger fsr redstone update if I were to guess as an official update

[gentle osprey]

Oh okay, yeah that'd be nice for peeps on older cards (if it gives meaningful uplift)

[ashen spindle]

dont remember the link for the latest numbers on what people managed to backport

[gentle osprey]

Ah okay, yeah if you find it, I wouldn't mind checking it out

[ashen spindle]

thats from some months ago

[unkempt lake]

Its coming to ps5 and 7000 series

https://twistedvoxel.com/amd-fsr-4-coming-to-ps5-pro-rdna3-3-5-q1-2026/

well according to rumors and leaks from the fsr sdk

People have gotten fsr4 to run pretty well on linux and 7900xtx

[gentle osprey]

Ah okay nice, not bad

[unkempt lake]

The first community implementations were meh but

The newest ones are pretty damn good

@gentle osprey

[gentle osprey]

Oh okay that's good to hear, that'll be nice for console too

Remember some youtuber saying the bios is fairly similar to MSI. They have been active in china for some time, could be they are simply using their own produduction and license the interface from MSI.

DDU fails at doing the one thing it needs to somehow.

[umbral heron]

Try https://developer.nvidia.com/cleanup-tool

[unkempt lake]

Nico had this issue

Where windows kept reinstalling nvidia drivers

Even after ddu

And habing an amd card in the system

[reef patrol]

Yeah that's why DDU specifically offers an option to temporarily disable Windows Update. Guess that didn't work this time 😄

[unkempt lake]

Disabling auto driver installs fixed it

[unkempt lake]

its borked

I tired a bunch of crap

As soon as it was reconnected to the internet it'd force reinstall

Had to turn off auto driver install completely

Then turn it back on

Wnd thay fixed it

Cuz even if i paused

Eventually itnwould happen again

i go back to sleep now

Im tired

[umbral heron]

Funny that even driver situation on Linux and Windows flipped nowadays

[marsh glade]

I bet you're glad you went AMD 😄

[hearty oriole]

Hello ! Is there a way to uninstall the wooting keyboard driver ? It's messing with my controller :/ It seems both my controller and the keyboard are detected as a gamepad which makes the controller unusable

[reef patrol]

Disable the gamepad functionality in Wootility.

It is disabled 🙁

[marsh glade]

Close the game, unplug the controller, plug it back in, restart the game

(or if wireless, turn off and on)

[vagrant pagoda]

you in safe mode?

[reef patrol]

No, never.

[vagrant pagoda]

thats why

[reef patrol]

Then that's a new thing. I've never had to boot into Safe Mode ever with DDU.

[vagrant pagoda]

no its literally right in the instructions that while it works in normal, its high recommended to run in safe mode

[reef patrol]

While it works

[vagrant pagoda]

has issue, dosent do the only thing recommened for stability

[reef patrol]

I have an issue after not needing to do thing after a decade of use. You can stop trying 😛

[vagrant pagoda]

its not a ddu issue its a windows issue, which is why safe mode is recommeneded

[marsh glade]

Just don't update drivers

What could possibly go wrong

[ashen spindle]

just use nvidia drivers on amd

free DLSS trick big gpu doesnt want you to know about

[reef patrol]

Doesn't matter where the fault is. It didn't throw any errors, and it clearly failed to uninstall the apps it was supposed to. Something it has thus far always been able to do just fine without needing to reboot into Safe Mode.

https://tenor.com/view/sentenced-judge-gavel-life-guilty-gif-12655798582307372829

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah and it didnt brick your pc xD

[reef patrol]

How the hell would removing drivers brick a PC? Now you've gone full dumb. You never go full dumb.

[vagrant pagoda]

it cant uninstall drivers if windows blocks it

[reef patrol]

No errors thrown

[vagrant pagoda]

if you have ever gotten drivers via update, windows keeps a copy of that and will reinstall them

[reef patrol]

Nothing was reinstalled.

[devout raptor]

got my first tv

s90d woled model

[reef patrol]

I vaguely recall something about force enabling (superior?) FSR4 in games that only have FSR3?

I'm only interested in upscaling, not frame gen if that matters.

[ashen spindle]

Checkbox in driver Settings

[reef patrol]

Somewhere in Adrenalin you mean?

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[reef patrol]

This one? Needs to be a 3.1 game already it seems like?

[ashen spindle]

Assuming you have the latest version because it’s a new change

Yeah it can’t add it to a game that doesn’t have fsr3

[reef patrol]

3.1 - Not 3

[ashen spindle]

Same stuff

That’s all you can enable in drivers

[reef patrol]

So theoretically I should be running 4 now? Anyway to check?

[ashen spindle]

Optiscaler for games that don’t have it

No clue how to check lol

Samsung quality control. I dont recommend samsung to anybody for this reason. Return it and buy an LG c series oled you will be a lot happier. 55” lg c4 is what im rocking and i love it, over 2000 hours on it with no burn in

[unkempt lake]

@reef patrol gaming - graphics - fsr4

[reef patrol]

I was unsure if a game needed to be 3.1 or just 3. Didn't matter in the end cause the game was Vulcan, not DX12 😄

[devout raptor]

it was 799€ so the deal was really good, that lg one is 1099

[brisk topaz]

I got my lg c4 55” for $600 on sale at best buy brand new around christmas last year

[brisk topaz]

But never buy samsung. Modern samsung fucking SUCKS its garbage

Return it get your money back spend more for an LG or wait for a sale on LG for oled

[astral haven]

You are thinking of monitors
Samsung TVs arent bravias but they aren't insignias

And Samsung monitors are only problematic at the bleeding edge, and they have warranty so you can reroll if you get a bad one

[brisk topaz]

No lol. I bought an s95 tv initially based on internet hype. Had green banding and dead pixels out the box. Samsung quality control is ASS

[frozen ingot]

I've yet to own a samsung product that hasn't failed partially or fully within two years of purchase

[brisk topaz]

Had a 990 pro ssd die

Had a samsung galaxy s21 ultra with quality issues

Samsung across the board is bad and i dont recommend them

[brisk topaz]

Samsungs bad across the board

[astral haven]

Welcome to being unlucky

[brisk topaz]

Bad quality control from samsung.

[astral haven]

Wrong, dammage happens in shipping, and modern electronics are super sensitive

[brisk topaz]

They werent shipped to me i bought them in person

Never had issues with apple phones or lg tv’s

[astral haven]

They were shipped to your country

[brisk topaz]

Only when it came to samsung i had a plethora of issues

[astral haven]

Lucky you

[astral haven]

Unlucky you

[frozen ingot]

shipping damage that manifests a year and a half after purchase then

[brisk topaz]

Recommending samsung with their current state of quality control isnt a good move

[astral haven]

As I said reroll
Bad stuff happens

[brisk topaz]

EXACTLY HAHAHAHAHA

Hes shilling for a bad company

[lyric hatch]

My 16" MacBook pro arrived with a defected screen does apple suck

Or maybe I just got unlucky

[astral haven]

Apple sucks is 2 million macbooks fried motherboards because they cheaped out on a cable not my 1 product died

[frozen ingot]

I could buy bad luck if it happened once or twice but its been several samsung products across different product segments

[brisk topaz]

Samaungs quality control is so well known all it takes is 1 google search to find out how many people have issues. Its widespread with the company

[lofty pivot]

I see only one solution. You both buy a Samsung constructed apartment in korea to see who is correct about this: https://www.raemian.co.kr/main.do

[brisk topaz]

A best but worker even told me dont buy samsung due to bad quality control and he was wearing a samsung shirt

[brisk topaz]

No i just wont buy from a company thats known to be bad lol

[lofty pivot]

ah you're an LG apartment kind of guy. I see

[astral haven]

What other company have you bought piles of leading edge hardware from?

[lofty pivot]

i'd recommend the hyundai apartments too, they're quite trendy brand in apartments

[frozen ingot]

I don't know if I'd call a monitor or phone bleeding edge

or a soundbank

seeing as plenty others can make this stuff without it failing within two years

[astral haven]

The Samsung fumbles have been the note which was the densest battery to date and the first g7 which was the fastest va to date

Then some ssds which were the fastest controller to date

Like whine all you want, the rest of their products have normal failure rates of 1/1000

When you have a billion users however you are guaranteeing making a million people mad with just .1%

[brisk topaz]

No. Just my last 6 lg oled purchases have had zero issues.

[frozen ingot]

I wouldn't have to whine if their products actually lasted

[brisk topaz]

I recommend brands i tried personalky and had no long term issues with

[astral haven]

What other brand are you as exposed to as Samsung?

[brisk topaz]

If it makes you feel better i dont even recommend colt to anyone in the firearm world anymore they are so bad lol

[brisk topaz]

Vizio

Dell

[astral haven]

How many visio products have you owned?

Same for dell

[lyric hatch]

Buy good products, not brands

You have been paid in exposure yep

If you wish to invoice for your time spent rather than quality of work done, send me an invoice, and I'll return one in kind

[lofty pivot]

I will handle invoice processing for both parties, make sure to add on my fee as well

[dull hollow]

im gonna send one in for my time reading this

[brisk topaz]

I really did have bad luck with samsung. Enough multiple times that im anti samsung

[astral haven]

Good for you, I'm sorry for your loss

Doesnt apple use samsung for oled panelsnfor theircphones?

[devout raptor]

yes

How far does the ban go does it cover Samsung display that would bring down the options for phones/displays

[marsh glade]

I have a samsung washing machine I'm pretty sure

[brisk topaz]

Damn im sorry.

[marsh glade]

Got it second hand, was already 5 years old, have had in 5 years myself, runs like a charm

[brisk topaz]

I have GE washer dryer shits old as fuck and basic too but still works

[brisk topaz]

Iphone being my only exception

[lyric hatch]

And a nice jingle, almost as nice as LGs

[astral haven]

So you claim, but almost every monitor controller is using a Samsung made chip

[brisk topaz]

Lg washer dryer suuuucks

[brisk topaz]

Lg uses inhouse i thought?

[astral haven]

Same as apple makes their chips inhouse

Yea like they own tsmc lol

And how apple makes their displays in house "its retina xdr pro not anyone elses tech guys we swear"

[rough osprey]

lets visit the nvidia chip factory

[brisk topaz]

But its not samsung lol

Ok if samsung is so great how was his tv perfect and flawless out the box then suddenly his panel failed on him?

[astral haven]

Yea and monitor controllers are rarely made on tsmc

[brisk topaz]

Explain that one. Thats not shipping abuse

[astral haven]

What did I say the failure rate was?

[brisk topaz]

69420% ligma

[rough osprey]

I dont like samsung for not supporting dolby vision

[brisk topaz]

Thst too

Hdr10 does not look as good as dolby vision

[astral haven]

Yea which is why Samsung implemented hdr10+ which supports the same scene by scene and brightness ranges

But instead of being proprietary its an open standard

[rough osprey]

if only it was widely used

[astral haven]

Blame apple

[rough osprey]

noooo

[rigid flicker]

anyone got the link for compatible cases for the 60he?

[astral haven]

Everyone else supports it
My camera can record internally in hdr10 even (tho vision and + both require grading afterwards so cameras can't natively record it without guesswork)

[astral haven]

#🔧│keyboard_modding
Search in that channel

[rough osprey]

netflix started supporting it this year

[astral haven]

Yea but Netflix also supports 10+ so you don't need it

[rough osprey]

and apple tv supposedly has hdr10+ lol

[rough osprey]

i was talking about 10+

[astral haven]

Yep, apple is pushing it via appletv

[brisk topaz]

Im jusr gonna say. Its crazy how outing samsung for being bad summoned these people

[rough osprey]

they wanna have everything in this format this year (netflix)

so adoption still kinda slow

[astral haven]

Antifanning any company is bad
We would be doing the same if you were making sweeping generalizations about any other company that has more than 1 product

[rough osprey]

amazon prime kinda the opposite

not a lot of dolby vision content

[frozen ingot]

leave the multibillion corporation alone

[rough osprey]

oh disney+ also started with hdr10+ this year

[brisk topaz]

A quick search shows many complaints of samsungs quality. Im not antifanning. Im simply factually stating their quality control needs improving.

https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/s/hS7X2olayG

[astral haven]

Adoption is also slow because there's still very few people with hdr displays, and there's more people with HDR displays that make things worse

[ashen spindle]

never realized HDR kinda forces exclusive fullscreen on games, do you know what the reason for that is @astral haven ?

[astral haven]

You haven't made that argument, you just whined about the company that produced the most products in the world also having a bunch of products fail

[rough osprey]

but now LG doesnt really wanna adopt Dolby Vision 2

[astral haven]

Nope, but you can have hdr content windowed, so its not necessarily forced

[ashen spindle]

so its the game forcing it when it sees its set to hdr?

[astral haven]

🤷

Its gotta be possible to not do that but it might be that some API makes that hard?

[brisk topaz]

No LMAO WHAT all i said is samsung has bad quality control and you summoned and attacked me for it

Samsung quality control bad. End of story

[astral haven]

And you have nothing to back that up

I told you the failure rates, and you haven't shown them to be higher than I stated, nor any company that is particularly lower than that

[tepid lynx]

not true! he has 1 reddit thread!

[astral haven]

I do know 1 company with lower failure rates, and that's IBM
But I can't buy monitors from ibm so 🤷‍♂️

[young bough]

Thats a pacifier

I give that shit to my baby cuzzo

[brisk topaz]

Hmm

[marsh glade]

Within 30 days of receiving it, typically a replacement unit. After 30 days but within warranty, typically replacement parts

[frozen ingot]

too bad its still a google phone

[astral haven]

Its for apple people to have a basic option to switch over to

[rough osprey]

apple qc lowkey bad

[brisk topaz]

Do you offer outside of warranty repairs for an additional fee?

[brisk topaz]

Yea the 15pm and 16pm had bad quality control for sure

My 15pm the back glass separated pushed in and the waterproof seal was broken because of it. And then the battery bulged and popped on it too

[marsh glade]

We typically offer replacement parts at cost for issues outside of warranty (whether warranty period is over or if the damage is user-inflicted)

[brisk topaz]

Thats awesome! I like that.

I started thinking on that usb c connector too internally. Would it not help it if you had snap in clips that held the wire in place to keep the connector from wiggling out over time from vibrations and moving?

Or what if you had a push button lock on the connector itself? Like a mini one

[astral haven]

That sounds like user error at this point, I'm not gonna blame apple for me dropping my phone
Just because its strong enough to not shatter into a bajillion bits after being dropped doesn't mean damage doesn't occur...

[brisk topaz]

No actually i never dropped my phone hahahah. I took it out of my pocket and the back glass moved under my grip and shifted itself.

Didnt do anything other than grab it with my hand

It just simply shifted and broke the waterproof seal

[astral haven]

Please reread what I typed

[rough osprey]

ye tbh i had a problem with the back glass too

the glue came out by itself

they repaired it

and now its still very misaligned

[brisk topaz]

Bro you defend companies in such an annoying way “its user error because the back glass failed to hold its integrity from a gentle grip and grab motion out of the pocket therefore its your fault not bad quality control” get the fuck outta here with that bullshit putting the blame on someone like that

[rough osprey]

and i get dust under the lenses somehow

[brisk topaz]

Yea the 15pm and 16pm suffer this issue

[brisk topaz]

Fuck i havent had that yet.

Blocking carmonben and moving on

[astral haven]

That's a known issue, happens to everyone tho

[brisk topaz]

How did this happen im curious

[rough osprey]

only time i ever had to send in a phone was with the iphone 😭

and that basically twice

[astral haven]

This is what happens when people don't learn how to read, they just make up something you didn't say and think they are clever for realizing its wrong

[brisk topaz]

I read what you said several times. You still put bad quality control blame on me, the customer. I hope you never work customer service because you’d piss others off too

[brisk topaz]

Yeaaaa my older iphones never had these problems.

[astral haven]

Oh sorry that wasn't meant for you to see, thought you blocked me

[brisk topaz]

I still dont like samsung phones after my screen magically shattering itself in my pocket somehow on the s21 ultra

Didnt even do anything other than have it in my pocket and sit down to play games

tuta sounds good

[devout raptor]

that sounds extremely annoying

[rough osprey]

didnt know google from the EU

[astral haven]

Google is technically an Irish company lel
No ireland isn't a tax haven we swear

[devout raptor]

this is so fucking ass

[umbral heron]

But yeah, for EU it's either Proton or Tuta, not really sure what else

[rough osprey]

they just really like the landscape there

[astral haven]

Weather too

[rough osprey]

ill check out Tuta 👍

although the name sounds kinda silly

[gusty kiln]

Same with the company I work for

[halcyon moss]

it used to be called tutanota

[astral haven]

Does that Google Drive clone that runs on TrueNAS also include email?

[umbral heron]

Nextcloud?

[halcyon moss]

yes

[astral haven]

That was what I was thinking of and no 🙁

It has a client, but you have to have a server separately, which obviously works but...

[halcyon moss]

email is hard.

[astral haven]

It's been several decades...

[umbral heron]

Never hosting my own MX server again

[rough osprey]

yall have experience with mailbox.org?

tuta doesnt seem to allow different apps or sum

[astral haven]

No IMAP?

[umbral heron]

No IMAP

[astral haven]

Oh wow wth

[astral haven]

How nice -_-

[umbral heron]

They could make E2E addon for Thunderbird

[astral haven]

Lmao they don't support smime either

[raw zephyr]

email is hard, i was thinking of migrating to proton or mailbox.org, but havent gotten around to it yet

[halcyon moss]

I'm thinking about moving to Proton, haven't really checked mailbox, this would be a replacement of my Google workspace accounts

[gusty kiln]

The whole proton ecosystem is pretty attractive

And their vpn is almost as good as mullvad

[marsh glade]

I've been using ProtonVPN for almost a decade now, been a happy customer for a long time

[rough osprey]

does my mainboard have enough space?

[brisk topaz]

Will protonvpn slow me down if im on fixed wireless to the radio tower

[dull hollow]

your gpu has a nice motherboard

[rough osprey]

😭

[brisk topaz]

Your the mobo and your gpu is the guy she said not to worry about

[inner forge]

too much

[rough osprey]

rip

[thick elk]

For me with email and such, anything that locks me to their apps is a nono, when changes are made for the worse, can always switch one thing.

Mix and match over ecosystem any time.

[rough osprey]

meta should make an email service

we would ALL be using it

[warm ore]

Not sure 😁

[rough osprey]

these SFF builds are not easy...

[young bough]

Whos ALL 😭🫵

[rough osprey]

i know you the first to sign up

[plush stirrup]

Currently selfhosted, but as far as I've found none really fit my requirements :c

[ashen spindle]

https://social.kernel.org/notice/Ay49w8ptPiWbrWpvfc xD

[bright briar]

the new nord vpn update is so ass

[plush stirrup]

The issue is in the same sentence 🤣

[fair gull]

an LLM*

[halcyon moss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonDrive/comments/1ne97hf/proton_drive_is_broken/
hm

[digital cliff]

haven't really used it apart from sharing files to friends on occasion but that sounds rough, as does the rest of the subreddit lmao

I did try the VPN, the linux app just didn't work and was generally shit so that's my experience

no complaints about the mail, which is what I pay them for tbh

[fair gull]

didnt proton offer nicer vpn stuff anyway with like connection details so you dont need a client?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, they have a nice linux app, older cli app which still works and wireguard configs

[tender lava]

oh wait, lossless gonna be available on spotify?

https://tenor.com/view/what-omg-wtf-shocked-nft-gif-4098854808141810861

[umbral heron]

A bit late to the party

[tender lava]

but they're usable on linux

[fair gull]

the real question would be where its coming from

lossless as in just converted or ai converted or does someone remaster a converted mp3 (or whatever the fudge they think could work) OR are they actually getting it from the studio/label

[umbral heron]

I think they already had whole library of their own lossless as source to convert to lossy they used

[lunar elm]

low quality lossless 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[tribal dirge]

I am ngl, Gmail and Outlook is still probably the best. But I use the superhuman email client so I don't use their native email clients.

[analog sinew]

im kind of thinking about getting a new phone

what brands are even worth it these days

not liking where samsung has been going

[nimble arch]

Apple

[analog sinew]

sure as hell not buying apple

lmao

imma look at stuff like redmagic etc

[vagrant pagoda]

as someone who is very very much not a apple user, they easily make the best phones

[analog sinew]

might be but they are simply too expensive

and i dont wanna be associated with apple

[vagrant pagoda]

sounds like a personal problem XD

[analog sinew]

XD

i can afford it but I'm not looking to spend that money on a phone

[vagrant pagoda]

my android was pro max money

[analog sinew]

oh god they are all advertised with "ai features" now

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean yeah everything is ai

[halcyon moss]

Samsung

[vagrant pagoda]

person says they dont like samsung, better recommend samsung to them

most average samsung user

[analog sinew]

well i have a samsung now but i dont rly like where they are heading

hmm the market is kinda barren tho

im kinda considering gaming phones

[halcyon moss]

It is the best android phones

[vagrant pagoda]

unless you want durability

[frozen ingot]

yeah quality sucks ass

most overrated brand among the droids

[umbral heron]

lower-end models are quite durable

[analog sinew]

do you have better recommendations

[halcyon moss]

After my lackluster s10, I had a pixel 2xl and since then only Samsung, and it's been good

[compact relic]

full of bloat aswell

[lyric hatch]

Bloat is very much overstated

Has the most customization options by far

[leaden kiln]

can just be disabled or uninstalled mostly
not a very big deal

[frozen ingot]

shouldn't have to do that in the first place

[leaden kiln]

I agree, but I don’t think that is a very compelling reason to not buy samsung

[nimble arch]

OneDrive being preloaded on the S24 my mother purchased was annoying. Couldn't uninstall it either, only an option to disable.

Samsung have great hardware ruined by shit software.

Google Pixel devices have a much better stock install but the hardware is ass.

[umbral heron]

Low-end Samsungs
They don't bother to put bloatware on those

[reef patrol]

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

Neat!

Very pricy though - But I guess if you love the feel and sound of the old iPods, it might be your one and final device.

[gusty kiln]

FanControl seems to have borked

any other decent alternative in case this doesn't get resolved?

[unkempt lake]

Ur bios

[magic minnow]

Xiaomi Ultra 15?

[analog sinew]

[magic minnow]

I mean besides OnePlus the phone market is stale

[gusty kiln]

asrock has a motherbord utility so I huess I'll use that

[analog sinew]

yuh

[magic minnow]

I had high hopes for the Pixel 10, but that turned out to be super lame

[astral haven]

Its all 3rd party software that is pushing phones forward

[brisk topaz]

Control fans in your bios. For gpu amd adrenalin lets you fine tune and nvidia offers fan tools on their website to adjust fan speeds for gpu within nvidia drivers

Wait does nvidia still rely on third party software for gpu fans ? Hahahahaha fuck nvidia man

[lunar elm]

dude is gonna spit on nvidia every chance he gets

[brisk topaz]

Why havent they put in fan control in the nvidia drivers yet?

Do nvidia drivers still freeze up and take forever to open the control panel and look like it was made in win95 still?

[lunar elm]

theres auto 0 rpm mode for some models iirc but its application based

[lunar elm]

AMD adrenaline has a 50% chance of opening

but RTX HDR is great when it works

[brisk topaz]

Right but in amd adrenalin i simply toggle off 0rpm mode and i can create custom fan curves based on temp and fan speed within the driver itself its so nice. No 3rd party software needed

[brisk topaz]

Always opens for me never had an issue

[lunar elm]

you dont toggle 0 rpm mode for amd what

my 9070xt doesnt ramp the fans till like 150w , never noticed the temp req

[reef patrol]

Your GPU has fans?

[brisk topaz]

Lol silly you. You literally have a toggle in amd adrenalin to turn 0rpm on or off.

I turned it off for my 9070xt because i didnt like a 55c idle hotspot temp

[lunar elm]

i never noticed i only bothered with tuning the card itself

then not only does adrenaline have a 50% chance of opening, it doesnt permanently save my GPU profile everytime I power on the PC

[vagrant pagoda]

whats wrong with it?

[brisk topaz]

Lol you are saving the profile after you create it, right? This simply is user error

[gusty kiln]

not detecting any fans other than the gpu

[lunar elm]

i have to import the thing everytime lmao

[brisk topaz]

You aren’t supposed to, no. But its better to in case it bugs on you

[lunar elm]

it just always goes back to stock everytime I shut down

meanwhile nvidia and msi ab keeps the profiles I set

Theres tradeoffs to both cards for me to use

[vagrant pagoda]

try rebooting?

[brisk topaz]

Its in the known bug list for 24.9.1 with a confirmed fix coming in 24.10.1 i just looked

[charred wigeon]

Hello, I managed to put my keyboard into restore mode, but I can't do anything with it. I'm stuck like this, and even though I follow the restore steps, it remains stuck. Can somebody know what can i do ?

[gusty kiln]

I did

[brisk topaz]

Msi afterburner doesnt work anymore its winring0 based

And nvidia has no way to control fan speeds now since everything nvidia relied on used winring0

[vagrant pagoda]

thats odd, you have the mobo software installed?

[gusty kiln]

no, but I just installed it to replace

[brisk topaz]

Maybe evga precision works?

[astral haven]

nvidia does have fan control in their app
And when did that change

[vagrant pagoda]

when did nvidia drop ring0?

[astral haven]

Only issue I see with afterburner is the rx9000 series thing but that's BC MSI stopped paying the dude, should be fixed now since community stepped in

[brisk topaz]

Msi afterburner uses winring0 and windows defender blocks it from opening and running

[vagrant pagoda]

when?

i have latest windows 11 and it works

[brisk topaz]

I wouldnt trust fan fixes for a serious threat either

[brisk topaz]

They must have fixed it recently then.

[vagrant pagoda]

it never stopped

[astral haven]

Community paid the dev directly

[vagrant pagoda]

i use it daily

[astral haven]

Why is noone reporting it

[vagrant pagoda]

if afterburner broke on windows it would be a big deal

windows stopped ring0 all rgb would stop

[lunar elm]

dont get me wrong RDNA4 has a decent featureset and good value assuming you can get the 9070xt at its MSRP- But other than for expedition 33 where my 5090 refuses to work properly, I have no reason to use the 70xt

[astral haven]

Less huge deal now that nvidia app and adrenaline are both "working"
But still huge since its only good cross platform option

[astral haven]

Well my rgb control died

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean 9070xt isnt targeted at someone who can afford a 5090

[brisk topaz]

This

Why compare a 9070xt to a 5090 thats dumb

[astral haven]

Best from each competitor?

[brisk topaz]

Compare it to a 5070 ti

[astral haven]

I'm weird in that even the 5090 isn't fast enough for what I want but a lot of folks just want the best possible

[lunar elm]

id still take the 5070ti xd

[unkempt lake]

The nvidia in app fan control is static

You can't make a curve

It's fucking dumb

I know because i had to install msi afterburner to do so xD

[astral haven]

Yes and no

Its static until temp target

[unkempt lake]

Well that's a moronic implementation

[astral haven]

You only get to pick the temp and low speed but it wont burn your card like a normal static would

[unkempt lake]

Also you can't set it per fan

I just wanted to slow a worn out fan

[astral haven]

That's not a guarantee on any software besides the vendor's

[atomic jackal]

i need to know if this will work reliably with my rm850x psu for my pc because it came with a US cable (https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Leader-European-Schuko-IEC320/dp/B0DG433GNM?utm_source=chatgpt.com&th=1) please help meeeee

[unkempt lake]

Welp i can use msi afterburner and control a zotac card with it so

[astral haven]

Afterburner didn't for my cards

And at the time evga was the #1

[lunar elm]

i set mine to silent bios and called it a day lmao

the main noise in my system would primarily be from my AIO

those fans spin loud and fast under loud

[astral haven]

I don't have any fans hooked to my gpu directly lel

My fans aren't even hooked up to any of my PC temps, they just run based on water temp

[lunar elm]

I remember seeing 80c GPU temp on the 4060 using 115w

Now at the same wattage I see sub 40c
