The higher tdp the worse the coil whine

[distant tapir]

Or I want the extra performance and cooling performance to ensure 100% inaudible operation

[pliant vine]

i was gonna get the 5080 before the 4090 but what google said the 4090 had better raw peformance comparied to the 5080 then 9 hours later i saw a 5090 on sale for 2k smack on so i feel sick ngl.

[lunar elm]

Theres really no justification for that. 5070Ti already runs cool.
You can also OC it to about 330w, or 350w with aorus master vbios and it’ll be within 5% of a stock 5080.

[pliant vine]

thats why i came here asking if i made a mistake buying the 4090 yesterday

[lunar elm]

5080 is better for pure gaming

[distant tapir]

I'm going to overclock the 5080

[lunar elm]

5080 is gonna get blocked by its vram before its raster

[distant tapir]

The vram is no problem. 16 is enough

[rough osprey]

4090 is pretty good inbetween card

[distant tapir]

I'm currently using the 5070 and a 4k monitor. Had no vram issues so far

[rough osprey]

me neither

maybe i should play 8k instead

[pliant vine]

this is what i saw

[steady sail]

But u dont max out games with Ray Tracing and stuff ?

[lunar elm]

raytracing/path tracing:
Indiana Jones:
Basically any UE5 game:

[umbral heron]

Not Google AI mate

[distant tapir]

I do

[umbral heron]

Oh, I don't need a lot of VRAM, I'll just use upscaling

Upscaling needing quite a lot of VRAM too:

[pliant vine]

i so confused why the 4090 above 5080 if 5080 better?

[marsh glade]

It's crazy how crap AI is at product recommendations before it gets stuffed full of advertising dollars

[lunar elm]

not really, upscaling renders at a lower res. its the frame gen that hogs the vram

[rough osprey]

5080 not better

[umbral heron]

5080 only better if you want to use MFG 4x... which you don't

[lunar elm]

because 4090 still going for stupid prices, and 5080 gets MFG for gaming

[steady sail]

Ah yes AI for AI games

[distant tapir]

I have tried MFG and I don't hate it. I can see the use

[marsh glade]

Don't buy Nvidia cards

[umbral heron]

MFG good
MFG 4x... not so much

[lunar elm]

MFG x4 is only viable for 5090 tbh- it gets enough base fps

[distant tapir]

It was viable for me with my 5070

[pliant vine]

i feel sick cause i copped the 4090 for 1500 and some hours later i saw a 5090 go for 2k smack on all i had to do was bank a extra 500 biggest rookie mistake i made ngl then again i am very unsure on the brand cause it was by gigabyte

[umbral heron]

When you have over 80~100fps and use frame generation it is pretty good
If you have less than 60...

[pliant vine]

unsure why this is cheap compared to other 5090s anyone got idea?

[distant tapir]

I think I have it enabled in Avowed

One of the only games I play that even supports it

[pliant vine]

i tried doing research but couldnt find much info on this model

[distant tapir]

To be competitive?

[umbral heron]

Or you could just grab FE model, it's pretty available nowadays for MSRP

[pliant vine]

are gigabyte even good i aint had from that brand before i tried zotac and wasnt a fan in the past

[distant tapir]

They're all going to give you plenty of frames. The biggest difference is in noise/cooling to performance afaik

The FE is super loud because it has the worst cooling

[lunar elm]

Its actually the opposite- Its super loud because it does have good cooling- just that its limited by its 2 slot

[distant tapir]

I'm not talking about how the cooling is relative to its size I'm just talking about how it ultimately ends up performing, and that is way louder and warmer than competition

[steady sail]

Just passive cool that shit

[lunar elm]

Ventus: Did someone call me?

[pliant vine]

right can you guys give me a idea how many more years i can get out of the 4090 keeping it above 200fps for competitive games on low graphics pls thanks.

[steady sail]

For like 5 more years atleast

[umbral heron]

Above 200 on low? My old 6700XT can do that without sweat still

[analog sinew]

comp games usually run on a toaster

[umbral heron]

You'll be fine for quite a while

[pliant vine]

i used that as a e.g lol

[distant tapir]

Which is that?

[steady sail]

Msi

[pliant vine]

thanks for the convo guys i gonna stfu now and start gaming and take a peak here and there see what you guys ranting about happy gaming fellows ❤️

Tbh im still sad that i didnt snatched that 4080 for 700$ a year ago

[lunar elm]

MSI (multiple serious issues)

[umbral heron]

Well of course

[rough osprey]

🤔

hope this aint too political?

[pliant vine]

sorry mate but you forced to have digital id whether you like it or not! any verbal abuse you will be sent to jail for 5 years. edit (pls hope you get the joke in this comment)

[lunar elm]

“i use linux btw”

[rough osprey]

i dont think im generally opposed to the availability of a digital id

just depends on what you need it for

[pliant vine]

I signed it when it was at this I seen it at 2.7mil other day

[pliant vine]

I need it to see if you been a naughty boy by not paying the tax man I must know everything about you your National insurance / birth certificate isn’t good enough for me 🤡

[rough osprey]

oh we already got those here lol

but its kinda useless

[distant tapir]

Norway has had digital ID for a while. There's so much that relies on it

[rough osprey]

I have mostly used it to login into some government services and as an easier way to identify myself for like banking stuff

should all be doable without it tho

UK doesnt seem to have mandatory ID cards if i read that right?

[nimble arch]

We don't have a national ID but you can use a passport or drivers license instead.

There absolutely is a need for a form of national ID that's provided to all citizens/residents with no cost to the end user involved.

[rough osprey]

ye seems weird not having one central one

[last halo]

Sorry I know y'all might wanna talk more about games n other tech stuff but if any of y'all are crafty (like me) or have a crafty family or friend I have been on the lookout for an overlooking sewing machine for many years is this a good deal https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/silver-721d-overlocker-machine/6622971000.html
(I also currently have a discount code for hobby craft UK)
If any of y'all know about crafty machines like sewing machine (it is kind of tech like innit) or can advise on a certain brand that is good please let me know
Thank you

Literally just means you can show that documentation with an app instead of carrying cards and paperwork.

[pliant vine]

Apologies not ignoring you just rather get of the whole “politics” stuff everyone gonna have a opinion on that sort of stuff and rather keep bunch of people on “gaming” topic

Anyways can someone give me advice what they use to clean their oled monitors so it don’t leave smudge marks

[reef patrol]

[umbral heron]

Monitor cleaning spray, costs like 2€
And microfibre cloth

[steady sail]

Me with window cleaning spray

[pliant vine]

Will it leave marks after use like smudge marks?

[pliant vine]

That actually works 🤨

[steady sail]

Yes

[pliant vine]

Even on oled?

[steady sail]

Idk about that

[ashen spindle]

ideally distilled water and maybe iso prop, window cleaners can damage screen coatings

[umbral heron]

That's microfibre cloth is for, no smudges with it

[pliant vine]

Like this may sound daft but say I put that on microfibre cloth will that be okay?

[umbral heron]

Noooo
This is ethanol with additives, it'll eat through protective coating in a flash

Also ethanol loves to eat ABS, so plastic in most of electronics stuff

[pliant vine]

Ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😭😭

[umbral heron]

Isopropyl aka rubbing alcohol works good, but monitor cleaning sprays/foams are the best
Just order one for like 2 bucks and it'll last you few years

[pliant vine]

Aight bet I genuinely bricking it I never cleaned a oled before

[steady sail]

just get what cals said and clean it like u need to

[old marlin]

I got a decent screen cleaner, works wonders

Also not expensive

[warm ore]

Specifically the Ewent Screen Cleaning Kit has been doing miracles for me, i tried several different liquids that are supposed to be the same thing, but this was the really spotless one.

[pliant vine]

Link?

[warm ore]

idk, i bought it locally so it might not even exist where you live

I have a quick question say I want Rbar off for a specific game even though I turned it off via inspector do I also need to disable it via bios? Thanks in advance

[reef patrol]

Try and find out? 😄

[crimson wigeon]

Why would you want to turn it off for a specific game anyway

[ashen spindle]

could be something like apex where it lost performance because of some bug but thats extremely rare these days

[frozen drift]

https://youtu.be/ilm4HFFFpsc?

[frozen drift]

Thunderbolt 5 eGPU looking really good lol.

[placid mortar]

anyone DMA on r6 thats NA?
dm tryna find a dma stack to win games with and maybe make some new friends

[ashen spindle]

that almost sounds like English

[reef patrol]

Please don't spam multiple channels. And maybe I dunno... use more words to explain. 😄

[empty wren]

Looks like 25h2 is rolling out, only just now learned that 11 has widgets but they did add customisation neat

[reef patrol]

Oh goodie. Whatever will they break this time - And still not fix from 24 😄

[empty wren]

some get unlucky i guess

[steady sail]

you mean unlucky

[empty wren]

only nags i had was alienware control panel installing thanks windows update and transparent task bar breaking

[pliant vine]

I wouldn’t be here if google did it job and gave me the answer I want instead of telling me info I already know

[pliant vine]

Some games are bugged like quin stated

[empty wren]

perhaps it too does not know

[ashen spindle]

I mean wouldnt even say some games, outside of apex on launch Im not aware of any working games having issues with it

[pliant vine]

Cod has issues with it well mw3 from the most part

[steady sail]

no ?

[pliant vine]

Freethy who optimises pc does benchmarks tests on all this stuff

Even beefy tech has shown results

[ashen spindle]

who optimises pc
99.9999% of "pc optimizers" are bullshitting

[steady sail]

ah yes

[reef patrol]

I meant... literally TRY and compare.

You don't need google, you don't need others. You can literally test it with and without and see if there's a difference 😄

[steady sail]

do not believe in benchmarks on youtube that much

[ashen spindle]

in fact, even mr optimizer says turn on rebar

[placid mortar]

not spam. just meant to type in the game channel

[pliant vine]

what game this?

vid?

[ashen spindle]

mw3...

[pliant vine]

fuck me i didnt even see that....

i just remember ages ago turning it off was a thing at the time

[ashen spindle]

yeah at the start because the guy used outdated drivers

hence my comment rebar on is fine for basically any game these days

[pliant vine]

cheers for that you saved my braincells i also learnt that you gotta disable it through bios i checked gpu=z and it says enabled so i now know in future that it has to be both so i guess in this case imma leave it on until a certain game makes it busted\

[ashen spindle]

and as mansen said the easiest way to know if something is better or worse, just try it for yourself

because in theory the same config can be worse for you because the driver or windows version or cpu is different if you just look at same gpu

[pliant vine]

"Mansen the year 2025" -

[warm ore]

Did you find something for your OLED Scum?

[pliant vine]

right whos hyped for Battlefield

[pale sigil]

Not me

[pliant vine]

hmmm nope but i came to conclusion to well consider do what someone said here cant remember who and call it a day.

[pale sigil]

I'm more excited for Minecraft 2

[pliant vine]

only thing i found from direct website was asus says to use a damp microcloth where as samsung recommends 70% alcohol (whatever that word is unsure how to spell it someone said it earlier)

"Ethanol Isopropyl Alcohol 70 Percent" @warm ore but i struggling to find that by me

pls tell me i aint braindead for this but this is same as what i just said right?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cutting-Isopropyl-Antiseptic-Cleanser-Cleaning/dp/B09NRXSL7X/ref=asc_df_B09NRXSL7X?mcid=b729c17e727e3a6aafa357adabadeab4&hvocijid=3424970554316300-B09NRXSL7X-&hvexpln=74&hvadid=696285193871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3424970554316300&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006524&hvtargid=pla-2281435177138

[warm ore]

It is Isopropyl Alcohol, but i only use a high percentage variant of that for PCB cleaning, never used it on screens.

[pliant vine]

i am going to test it so worst case scenario is when my screen needs doing i will let you know XD

[unkempt lake]

Samsung says to just yse water

Wtf are you on about

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00086622/

it. Do not apply window cleaners, soaps, wax, or anything containing alcohol, solvents, or ammonia. Using abrasive pads, paper towels, or cloth towels can scratch and damage the screen.

[warm ore]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-SCK101-Smartphone-Cleaning-Microfibre/dp/B004HS1IOS maybe something like this

[lunar elm]

mines so microscratched I lowk dont care anymore and just use iso/distilled water whichever is closer to me

[pliant vine]

ngl i am reading my manafacteur site for my monitor screen and this is what i got from them

https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1048502/#:~:text=Dry cloth cleaning%3A Use a,screen surface%2C avoiding excessive force.

[lunar elm]

theres a singular noticeable scratch tho but thats when monitor’s off/black

I wanna see some manufacturer use gorilla glass or sm shit

[pliant vine]

i wanna see this whoosh bs be used cause i seeing alot people say that

[lunar elm]

Well- Partially my fault for having the monitor close to my face lmfao

Better aim potential at the cost of me giving comms and accidentally dirtying it

[pliant vine]

your not alone mate i used to be same until i kept kepting migraines and sufffer with that bad like really bad so i got my monitor at arms length now, which has helped alot with my migraines.

[devout raptor]

welp

now my ear is bleeding after a day with the app3

[lunar elm]

i dont even play val that often tbh

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure 70% is a big nono

[unkempt lake]

app3?

[lunar elm]

I could deal with a further monitor if it was bigger

[devout raptor]

airpods pro 3

[unkempt lake]

Don't bother dude doesn't understand the reason

[pale sigil]

Also bro

[unkempt lake]

Its a defect

[pliant vine]

see i was thinking that also at this point i just so like you know hesitant there soo many different answers from everyone it like a guessing game at this point. hence why i went fuck it and just went to my manafacteur site and if anything happens to the monitor they can replace in worst case scenario since i have warranty still.

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/jgh6WMd

Just us this

I've been using it for years

[devout raptor]

great new design based on tens of thousands of ear scans

[unkempt lake]

@devout raptor some people reported that the heart sensor isn't flush with the body

[pliant vine]

is that okay for oled monitors too
?

[unkempt lake]

Of their airpods

[pale sigil]

Even on my OLED laptop

I've been using it on all my monitors

[pliant vine]

mate your a legend

[pale sigil]

Use it with um

Microfiber

Sec

[pliant vine]

could you private send if not here a before and after of your screen when you clean your oled screen pls ❤️

[warm ore]

@pliant vine have a look at that seems affordable, almost identical to the ewent kit, it lists OLEDs in specific, tons of feedback and high rating aswell

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/2svnOhl

[pliant vine]

i just did it like 6 pound

[ashen spindle]

oled or not doesnt matter, thats just the pixels beneath the coating and panel

[pale sigil]

I could but it won't be for an hour or so

[pliant vine]

you guys are legends for helping me out man

[warm ore]

If i'm home and have time, no problem!

[pale sigil]

But ye that brand has been my go to since like 2019?

That was my first order anyway.

[devout raptor]

imma check if mine are

[pale sigil]

It was better than those shitty wipes that are borderline wet.

[pliant vine]

no smudge marks nothing?

[devout raptor]

i dont actually understand what their point even is, there is no option anywhere on my phone to actually see my heartbeat other than with an apple watch

[pale sigil]

Nope, crystal clear.

[unkempt lake]

If it's not flush then it will scratch your ear

[unkempt lake]

There is in your health app iirc

[pliant vine]

does it also get rid of small circle stains e.g from say idk you open a can of drink unsure how it even lands on screen cause it no where near me but you get the idea

[devout raptor]

i couldnt find it

[unkempt lake]

When you start a workout

Or something idk

[warm ore]

It should yeah, i had some stronger stains on mine, if anything you go over the area twice or a few times, maybe apply slightly more pressure, not alot, just a bit more.

[unkempt lake]

But yeah i'm guessing your sensor isn't flush here's been reported cases in reddit

[pale sigil]

I got coke on my screen once, just needed to do circular motion when a little pressure (not too much)

https://tenor.com/view/telmo-coca-harina-raquetaso-esnifar-gif-25660568

[unkempt lake]

Literally just use fucking water

[devout raptor]

dude

[unkempt lake]

It's not rocket science

[devout raptor]

it isnt fully flush

[pale sigil]

Nah, it leaves so many smudges

[pliant vine]

imma try to say you been using since 2019 so that must be good

[warm ore]

yeah you can also just apply circular motion, sometimes that works fastest

[devout raptor]

i can feel an edge right on the spot where it scratched my ear

[unkempt lake]

Doesn't leave any on my screen

[devout raptor]

imma return these

[unkempt lake]

Yep

[pale sigil]

I used to love the Apple earbuds shape

[pliant vine]

my monitor not bad you can just see the odd tiniest mark from when i either sneazed as i looked away or when i opened a can . but you can only see it if you use a flash

[devout raptor]

the shape is immaculate but the sensor isnt

[pale sigil]

I still to this day hate modern ones with the ear tip things

I've never ever found ones that work for me

And if I do my ears destroy them

[unkempt lake]

@devout raptor https://www.reddit.com/r/airpods/s/VJLcZxgqJ2

[pale sigil]

Unfortunately my left ear has a ton of wax, no matter how much I clean it daily.

[pliant vine]

lmfao are we gonna have a riot over water on screens

[warm ore]

Yeah it is what it is, i used the ewent kit since like 2014 or 2016, before that i had always random other noname stuff, but they weren't as thorough. Since then whenever i actually clean the monitor, it's fully clean and shiny for a good while. Yours will be too Scum :D

[devout raptor]

i was just checking this out

[empty wren]

Smudges can be removed with a high quality microfiber cloth

[pale sigil]

Bri ish moment

[devout raptor]

@umbral heron now I know what you meant

[pale sigil]

I'll remove u

[unkempt lake]

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Brooooooo

[empty wren]

I had to buy a specific cloth for my OLED monitor all others left smudges

[unkempt lake]

I think people just use shitty cloths

Water + cloth = good

[distant tapir]

I just use the one I got with my monitor and I've had no issues

[empty wren]

Well that one can remove smudges without anything

[devout raptor]

some cloths dont absord liquid and just smudge shit

[unkempt lake]

They don't smudge my car they don't smudge my screen

[pliant vine]

well i gonna get a backup for emergencies so name this specific cloth incase the microcloft someone found for me goes wrong

[empty wren]

https://a.co/d/9VSfx5G

[pliant vine]

link i not finding anything to do with ewent kit all i see is plugs and stuff

[pale sigil]

We British

[pliant vine]

holy i got that already in the house somewhere.....

[alpine patio]

tf how?

[warm ore]

Forget that, we already figured out you don't have it in the UK, try something similar like the one i linked above.

[empty wren]

Very big and very nice even on sale right now

[pale sigil]

Also depending on your water it has shit in it.

[devout raptor]

the heartbeat sensor is fucked

[pale sigil]

We have hard water here in some places, not all but some.

[alpine patio]

thats actually crazy

[empty wren]

You could use glass cleaner or your breath to form condensation

[unkempt lake]

My river water is clwan and fine

[pliant vine]

i never drink tap water for that specific reason i just dont trust it if i drink water it gotta be water from a store whether that water from spring etc

[pale sigil]

Mine just takes shit, it's not hard though, just shit

[devout raptor]

if you want something clean just spit on and wipe it with your shirt

[pliant vine]

plus cloudy water no thank you

[pale sigil]

Meanwhile my grandparents was amazing oml

[pale sigil]

Cloudy water is not something I usually see, maybe you have hard water

[warm ore]

I had relatives where the water was brownish tint, but other than the color it was clean kek

[unkempt lake]

fucking weirdo lol

[pliant vine]

that kind of cloth looks exactly like something you find when someone gets glasses for first time ngl

[unkempt lake]

If it bothers you

[pale sigil]

So like

[unkempt lake]

Buying bottled water is like the biggest meme there is

Unless you're on a trip or something

[pliant vine]

cough council estate 💀

[devout raptor]

egon cholakian

[pale sigil]

Water isn't equal, my grandparents water I drink all the time and when at uni filled up bottles, however my water is just bleh, meanwhile my mum's water is ok

[ashen spindle]

no there are plenty of countries where you really dont want to drink even filtered tap water

[pale sigil]

Council pop

[unkempt lake]

Third world countries

[pale sigil]

It's all "drinkable"

I think it also depends on piping etc, old houses and so on.

[pale sigil]

It's not really as bad here as it is in other countries.

We have laws that go against reselling tap water.

[ashen spindle]

yeah all these places in this third world country

[empty wren]

Some bottled water actually tastes good in my opinion dansani and ice mountain

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue it is

[unkempt lake]

Dasani is just bottled municipal water...

[pale sigil]

But either way my dirt cheap tesco bottles taste 1000000x better than my two lol

[unkempt lake]

If they can't provide their citizens with decent water

[ashen spindle]

yeah so most people live in a third world country then so the first reaction shouldnt be to say its a meme to buy bottled water just because your place has decent tap water

[pliant vine]

im sorry but tap water where i am tastes nothing like this.

[pale sigil]

Because it's not rebottled tap water

[empty wren]

Must be well filtered then

[pale sigil]

Just looked it up lol

It's mains water

Even in the UK which they got slack for

However they add minerals etc which tbf a lot do

Oh I remember this

It failed here because people weren't having an American company sell tap water.

Also @unkempt lake filters cost more than just getting bottled water

[marsh glade]

C'mon say the line

[leaden kiln]

Finding tasty water was tricky in Japan
Found one brand I liked but my friends got mad since it was expensive water

[pliant vine]

Replies gonna go bad now

[pale sigil]

Got a loicense for that bottle m8?

[lyric hatch]

Get me that jeju island water

[unkempt lake]

Nuh huh

Not long term

[umbral heron]

150L in filter is 3€, in water about 20€¢
150L in bottles (cheapest one, in 5L bottles) is 16€
Hell no

[pale sigil]

£1.40 for 5lt bottle here

£2.50 for 6x2lt

[reef patrol]

Why are people buying bottled water? Is this a joke I am too Scandinavian for?

[pale sigil]

Basically not all water is equal

It's safe to drink tho

[umbral heron]

I dunno, I just drink tap water

[pale sigil]

I wish I could drink my tap water

I really really do

[ashen spindle]

some tap water is not healthy, some tastes like eating chalk

[pale sigil]

I could at mum's

[ashen spindle]

some want some more taste with it or just drink sparkling water(me)

[steady sail]

our water just yellow

i love iron

[pale sigil]

Mate it's not even about wanting taste

There's something off about it

I can't handle it and I get bloated for some reason

[analog sinew]

free clacium

[reef patrol]

Sounds like the chemicals being used to clean your water is not... bueno

[pale sigil]

Probably

The area I'm in is shit

I genuinely despise this shit hole

But you know my story as to how I ended up in the one place I vowed to never live lol

[warm ore]

I drink tap water most often at home, because where i currently live it's clean enough.
But on occasion i buy water with carbon dioxide (although not a whole lot lately, to save more).

Family also have done it forever.

[pale sigil]

But ye I considered filters, they are just so expensive.

They have to be replaced so often

I've used the jug ones in the past and tbh still had issues

[empty wren]

have you tried boiling it?

[pale sigil]

Effort

[empty wren]

my whole house as a big ass filtration system and a water softener because it is well water

annual maintenance cost if you do it yourself is roughly like 2k/yr

if you get it done professionally its like 2.5k/yr

the upfront cost is quite steep however

[marsh glade]

My water is hard as hell, drives me nuts

[tribal dirge]

get a water softener, thank me later

if possible the ones that dont use saline

it will save you the pain of having to replace your pipes and faucets down the line.

And it’s insanely popular like any first party Apple accessory

[rough osprey]

supposedly pretty nice as a camera strap

especially with the magnets

[nimble arch]

The accessory prices aren’t really a problem when anything new, outside of the SE/16e, starts at $800 USD.

they did make an 25€ microfibre cloth after all

[undone bear]

2.5€ 20 pack microfibre cloth

[rough osprey]

im not into microfibre science enough to judge pricing

but id say the optimum lies somewhere inbetween

[umbral heron]

Pretty sure you can get premium microfibre ones for camera lenses for cheaper

[rough osprey]

i think one of the points back then was that it works very well with their matte glass

i need this

[frozen drift]

https://youtu.be/iW-HfmrFGZk?

[unkempt lake]

mini led my beloved

[frozen drift]

Very rare in external monitor. The aesthetics and quality of this MSI monitor looks good tbh

[unkempt lake]

I use a mini led samsung g9 neo

And i love it

[frozen drift]

If there's 3440X1440 34 inch version with 200+ Hz refresh rate, I would consider it

I am hoping that there's a tandem OLED for 3440X1440 34 inch monitor coming soon

[nimble shoal]

I've got an issue with this last firmware update, none of the lights on my 60HE turn on unless the Wootility application is the active one... if I click on anything else it goes dark. Anyone else have that issue? There a fix?

[frozen drift]

Bring this up in #1019755933959733258 or something

[nimble shoal]

Lol my b I missed that channel somehow

[frozen drift]

like 49 inch/57 inch? That is so big holy sh*#

[unkempt lake]

Ye

[frozen drift]

Is the contrast noticeably better than normal IPS on HDR mode?

Still I think tandem OLED is a really good tech on the rise right now as the brightness levels should noticeably increase by a lot

[frozen drift]

and I thought me wanting a 34 inch monitor is an overkill, haha

[unkempt lake]

@frozen drift

super reasonable

[frozen drift]

that's so big LOL.

[unkempt lake]

The cat likes it

[nimble arch]

That’s wide

[unkempt lake]

I put bird videos for her on it

[frozen drift]

I'm thinking if I want a 4k 32 inch monitor or 34 inch 3440X1440 monitor. 4K monitor is super demanding for my laptop RTX 4070, but I can always buy better hardware(with my own money in the future, albeit it's still SUPER PRICEY and my heart hurts), but 34 inch 3440X1440 seems to be a lot of fun to use as it is going to be super immersive and still have really high resolution which should be manageable for my laptop in the mean time.

[frozen drift]

back to this though

[nimble arch]

I’d go ultrawide, again, but game support. 😔

Plus I always had bad luck on those Samsung 32:9 displays

[unkempt lake]

Game support jusr isn't an issue nowadays

[nimble arch]

I also don’t like that the OLED 32:9 displays aren’t a 1000R curve.

[unkempt lake]

Unless you're playing a japanese game which well you can basixally always get a mod next day just drag and drop the files

[nimble arch]

Then there’s LG going 800R at 21:9 🤡

[unkempt lake]

Honestly japanese game studios are like the only ones who mess up 32:9 lol

Like this year the only games i played that needed a mod were

The remake of mgs3 and ff7 part 2 remake

[dull hollow]

i did a montior upgrade before a pc upgrade lol

[unkempt lake]

That's it

And i played basically every big release this year

[nimble arch]

XIV works flawlessly on 32:9 though

[frozen drift]

32:9 is an overkill for me, 21:9 is just nice, I have no desk space for it either. So, hoping for tandem OLED 34 inch to come out ASAP.

[latent mural]

guys, can someone tell me if the WOT number on the back of the keyb is individually?

[unkempt lake]

Oh and apparently digimon is 16:9

But there's already a mod

Again unless you play japanese games you won't have issues xD @nimble arch and even then very easy fixes

[nimble arch]

I played RDR2 on PC at 32:9 before the panel decided to die just inside the refund period.

It was beautiful

[unkempt lake]

I had my panel for over 2 years

And i love it

You can just grab an msi panel

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans?

[unkempt lake]

NO

[steady sail]

im sorry, i had to

[umbral heron]

Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds. this means they're large enough to be able to handle human di

[undone bear]

Lopunny bro

[steady sail]

anyway back to the SSD talks with akko

[steady sail]

bnuy

[undone bear]

Jajajja

[unkempt lake]

Hey guys, did you know that Vaporeon can learn Mist in Yellow, but only under a very specific circumstance? In Yellow, Vaporeon is meant to learn both Haze and Mist at level 42. However, the programming at the time is so bad it's impossible for a Pokémon to learn two moves at the same level. As a result, Vaporeon will only learn Haze and not Mist. Pokémon who leveled up using the Daycare do not have this restriction though. If Vaporeon reaches level 42 while in the Daycare, it will learn both Haze and Mist

I prefer this one

[unkempt lake]

there's no laws against pokemon batman

But seriously guys

I couldn't not get the vaporeon

its playing with a starmie...

[steady sail]

turns out Lexar sells SSD's in Hungary

[unkempt lake]

The sd cards from teamgroup

[umbral heron]

Ah, then I dunno
I just usually buy Samsung Pros, they be cheap and very reliable

[unkempt lake]

I'm just waiting for prices on express cards to drop

I had bought a samsung 256gb in the meantime cuz it was the cheapest

[astral haven]

I'm waiting for cameras to start supporting it

[unkempt lake]

Well my switch 2 uses them so

XD

[astral haven]

Yea but you won't get pros subsidizing your gaming cards until cameras start using em

[unkempt lake]

Hopefully someday

[umbral heron]

There are some that support CFExpress already though

[unkempt lake]

Rn i'm fine with 256 internal + my 256 samsung express

Switch 2 has better wifi so its not too annoying to reinstall games if i choose to delete stuff

[astral haven]

Yep and cfe-b is better because it supports normal m.2s
My new camera 2tb memory card was cheaper than my old camera 256gb card because of that

And much faster

[sudden imp]

What does this mean? Is this like a pivoting point in performance like the jump to chiplets?

[ashen spindle]

it means much better RT on next gen and a reason why amd might have convinced microsoft we dont need a NPU in chips and just use the gpu

its an early preview basically

[umbral heron]

Will Radeon finally fight in high-end with GeForce?

[ashen spindle]

depends on where you set high end

[umbral heron]

xx90

[ashen spindle]

ehhh doubt it

[steady sail]

i would love to see a xx80 class atleast

[umbral heron]

Hey, they do now with 3090 at least

[ashen spindle]

depends of course what nvidia releases but just seeing how cut down the top sku for rdna5 seems to be, I dont see them taking the halo slot

[umbral heron]

I mean XTX and 4080 are very close to each other

[steady sail]

[nimble arch]

Sure but NVIDIA have a 50-Series out and AMD doesn't come close to the 5080 or 5090.

9070 XT is cool and all

But it isn't enough

[ashen spindle]

yeah because the bigger rdna4 dies got axed years ago

[steady sail]

if amd didnt axed big dies, we would had a card that are alteast on the same lvl as the 5080

[ashen spindle]

so the point still stands they have and could compete with xx90 its just as always a matter of cost and release time

so maybe rdna6 they have the top option who knows

[umbral heron]

pre-RDNA4 they were in a bit of a tough spot with Radeons too

[steady sail]

we have to wait and see what AMD does

i mean i dont wanna pay nvidia taxes

[nimble arch]

I don't really care for a xx90 competitor as I've only got one due to not commuting (plus the FE was in stock). I was 50-50 on a 4080 FE or 7900 XTX at the time.

But I'd absolutely want an xx80 competitor if I were to consider buying AMD once I upgrade.

[ashen spindle]

there will be a bigger die than what the 9070xt uses for next gen, the question is how big is nvidia jumping to say if thats a halo or just high end competitor

but they are not going as big as they could from a physical limitation standpoint

so assuming nvidia does a at least 50 series size jump I dont see it beating the 6090

[steady sail]

the only thing i can see they beat is the 6080

if AMD gonna compete against NVIDIA

[devout raptor]

fucking steam

[sudden imp]

I’d love good 80 competitors

Not everyone needs a big ass 5090 card

Plus smaller powerful cards are great for sff builds

[astral haven]

For ease of use for inexperienced users yes

That for a dual head 1 tool head machine

[halcyon moss]

ppl use word?

In a corporate environment. It does, however, sign you into everything automatically as the O365 account is signed into at OS level.

Even on a personal license, it’ll do this unless you’ve made a local user account in Windows.

BREAKING: The US Senate has passed legislation requiring Nvidia and AMD to give US companies "priority access" to their chips before China.

X · Oct 10, 2025, 3:18 AM

[rough osprey]

china got chips?

[dull hollow]

obviously taiwan belongs to china /s

[rough osprey]

does taiwan need a lot

[dull hollow]

taiwan manufactures most of the chips iirc and id assume becasue of how close they are to china, they sell there first

[old marlin]

I think they call them fries there

[rough osprey]

i know but thats not really what this is about

[umbral heron]

Before China
So as usual, chips will go to Singapore, from where China will buy them

[ashen spindle]

nope they get made and then shipped to places like malaysia to package them onto substrates and pcbs

thats why you have a made in country X diffused in country Y on most chips

[umbral heron]

Also that SEA countries have now cheaper labour than China

[rough osprey]

will this have a meaningful effect with how restricted the sale to china already is

[dull hollow]

guys why is my midterm at 1am

totally not supposed to say 11am but then you put a zero before the 1......

Is 9070xt viable for 4k or is it 1440p

[reef patrol]

Definitely more of a 1440P if you expect to crank settings up, or want higher FPS.

Also depends - eSports games or stronger titles like Cyberpunk and UE5 games?

[marsh glade]

4k for story games, 1440p for competitive

It can handle 4k/60fps with the right settings in the right circumstances for the right games

[dull hollow]

if you dont mind used you can look into getting a 7900xtx

[marsh glade]

This is also the CPU I have

Thansk to quin

[dull hollow]

though idk the prices for those currently

[undone bear]

Ive been looking for 1 but i cant find it for a good price sadly

[dull hollow]

[undone bear]

I dont rly care about which one

[undone bear]

Atleast idk what do you consider a good price for 7900xtx?

[ashen spindle]

dont get a 7900xtx

[undone bear]

Yeahh i was also looking at 9800x3d but its 100€ more expensive...

[undone bear]

Why do you think that?

[ashen spindle]

lacking stuff like good RT so its not as good for future titles and such

[undone bear]

Oky

Then ill just stick to 9070xt for now and ill see if other people have good suggestions

[ashen spindle]

ye its a good card

[undone bear]

Now just to get the rest of the pc parts...

[undone bear]

@ashen spindle is it ok if i @ you with a parts list and you can say whats good and whats not and what i should change

[ashen spindle]

yeah need a minute to be out of raid but can take a look at it

use pcpartpicker

[undone bear]

Im still making it no worries take your time

[undone bear]

Is tweakers ok too?

[ashen spindle]

sure

[devout raptor]

youtube music is kinda bad ngl

[rough osprey]

yup

[devout raptor]

ehh guess ill move to apple music then

[rough osprey]

spotify my favorite

[devout raptor]

spotify song recommendations pmo

fake lossless and 1€ more expensive💀🤝

[nimble arch]

Best choice

[umbral heron]

Don't forget about AI music

[rough osprey]

the best

[rough osprey]

does apple music even have bitperfect

[gusty kiln]

only on apple devices

[rough osprey]

lol

[umbral heron]

Tidal has
And even cheaper than Spotify or Apple Music

[rough osprey]

i mean with how bad the windows app is

doesnt surprise me

[gusty kiln]

if you want lossless it's Qobuz or TIdal

[devout raptor]

tidal is more expensive than both

[rough osprey]

bit ugly, kinda buggy and doesnt have everything i need

[gusty kiln]

that's why I self-host

[umbral heron]

Tidal and Apple Music is $11/mo, Spotify $12/mo

[rough osprey]

ill just stay on spotify

[devout raptor]

apple music 11,99€ spotify 12,99€ tidal 13,99€

[gusty kiln]

what about qobuz

[rough osprey]

their music catalog was even smaller from my experience

[devout raptor]

oh lmao tidal is only 13,99€ if you subscribe on iphone?💀

[umbral heron]

[devout raptor]

its 10,99€ on the website

[umbral heron]

Apple needs its 30%

[devout raptor]

What a joke

[rough osprey]

many do it like that

[devout raptor]

i need my anime music and ill be happy

[umbral heron]

Self-hosting my beloved

[devout raptor]

no know-how

[rough osprey]

too much piracy

[umbral heron]

who cares about that lol

[rough osprey]

mee

[devout raptor]

you will pirate and be happy

[rough osprey]

never

i use vpn

[gusty kiln]

self-host doesn't automatically mean pirating

[umbral heron]

If Avex doesn't want me to pirate their songs they should release them outside Japan

[rough osprey]

but realistically

[analog sinew]

classic japanese media

[rough patrol]

I like to support the artist (by not listening on spotify)

[astral haven]

Its quite possible to get all your music from bandcamp or whatever

[devout raptor]

i like to support the artist [by ripping their songs and uploading them to youtube as (tiktok remix & lyrics) and taking the money myself]

[rough osprey]

you would have to be very lucky

[umbral heron]

If you want to support artist then Tidal/Qobuz
Both give like ~4x more than Spotify

[rough osprey]

and its way more expensive

[analog sinew]

bandcamp goin to the shitter too soon with how they have been sold

[frozen ingot]

except if its copyrighted it gets insta demonetized for you

[devout raptor]

tidal didnt have my anime
music

[rough osprey]

unless you like only listening to a very small number for songs

[devout raptor]

tiktok remix

[astral haven]

Nah, just gotta realize you can choose your preferences over time

[hollow rampart]

Hi guys

[devout raptor]

give me my money

[rough osprey]

so not really listen to mainstream ig?

[frozen ingot]

who even listens to mainstream music willingly nowadays

[rough osprey]

you can buy on qobuz too :o

[astral haven]

Depends on the artist but some do

[astral haven]

Can you buy the music files or just a license?

[rough osprey]

mainstream as in people to some might know

[hollow rampart]

Do you know any free music app 🤔 👀 like whole spotify but free

[rough osprey]

good question

[hollow rampart]

Even if I had €500 I won't spend on spotify ever

[astral haven]

Youtube

[astral haven]

Some are on natively
But also there are remixes available of anything super popular

[rough osprey]

i just checked some pretty popular artists and you would probably need to buy from multiple places and stuff

and even then a album is like the same as a month of a streaming service

[astral haven]

Yep, if you want to actually support artists its quite expensive

[rough osprey]

might be a good thing for like small ones you like

most streaming services do mix with local library so

but the big artists are rich anyway lol

[devout raptor]

people whose opinions dont matter

[thick elk]

My rule is I spend an x amount per month on averagr on music on bandcamp, buy from artists I like most, spread it out a bit. Otherwise obtain through other means (can even be done legally in the Netherlands).

Still percentage they gain from bandcamp, if everyone did the same, would still be much more than spotify ever gives them.

As far as I know making a home copy is legal from youtube, just like it is to record the radio or copy a dvd.

[astral haven]

Oh I don't do it myself, I'm just a subscription pleb

[astral haven]

Not in the us, its a felony since it breaks TOS

But also that's because I don't like specific music enough to be able to listen to it more than a few times
And the music I do like enough to pull out every year or two I've got disks of

[umbral heron]

Thankfully we are not living in techbro dystopia and ToS are not law, so it's not a felony, even is US

At most creator can sue you for copyright infringement
But YouTube can't say a word At most they'll ban you, but no legal implications

It would be ridiculous if corporations could establish their own laws in ToS

[ashen spindle]

yesnt, breaking tos isnt a felony but actions that violate tos can be a felony

[umbral heron]

Oh, sure, in this case creator's copyright infringement

But ToS cannot be an extension of law

But you know, since Orange Manchild™ and his Fascist Cohort® are now in charge of everything, even Supreme Court, that may change any day

[frozen drift]

was samsung's 8N process that bad?

[unkempt lake]

Nice ai narration

[frozen drift]

Yeah i know it was AI

[ashen spindle]

if its ai content you can be certain its full of errors

[frozen drift]

I didn't really watch it myself, was just asking a general question

[ashen spindle]

the question is too vague to be answered

[frozen drift]

To be honest, if we are comparing the same process node, let's say 7 nm from TSMC and 7 nm from samsung. Is it possible to have major performance differences between the two nodes from the two difference suppliers?

[ashen spindle]

depends on what you see as major

[frozen drift]

Like thermals and transistor density

Or power efficiency.

[ashen spindle]

well yeah theres difference but what do you mean major

[frozen drift]

One performs superior compare to the other despite being the same process node on paper?

[ashen spindle]

well yeah but what do you see as major difference

obviously one is better if they are different

but what does major difference mean for you, 5%, 50%

[frozen drift]

Damn you asked that question like a science person/engineer lol. Even though I'm from engineering background. Idk, I don't expect a 50% difference but 15% or below sounds plausible to me

[ashen spindle]

yeah at points probably

they are generally a bit worse but much cheaper

so it was a great deal for nvidia, get tons of cheap wafers for slightly worse products that all sold out anyway

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle if i got a new PSU with my current GPU which uses 3x8 would it be fine using these two

1x 8 pin and 1x 12v splitter thing to 2x8

[ashen spindle]

yeah

[unkempt lake]

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/10/trump-trade-tariffs-china-software.html

lol

[dull hollow]

again???

god fucking damn it bro

[vapid ruin]

it's not even a year yet lmao, I don't think it has been 6 months too

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/aEWb1otLVPo

[reef patrol]

Or just get Pro and Rufus.

[unkempt lake]

Dont try to use logic against lana

[reef patrol]

[crimson wigeon]

Only need pro but yeah, why even get non-pro

[wheat plume]

rufus still works for local accounts? wonder when that method will break too

[unkempt lake]

You know what else you can do...

Setup the pc

Create a secondsry local account

Delete the online account

And there you now only have a local account on the machine

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle

[reef patrol]

Did it ever stop working?

[unkempt lake]

There's still a ton of methods that don't need any special tools

[unkempt lake]

It never stopped working

[ashen spindle]

? didnt you say its 12v to 2 8 pins

[pale sigil]

I didn't specify but you saw in the picture was 12v right.

[ashen spindle]

im confused whats the problem

[unkempt lake]

Thanks youtube

[pale sigil]

He doesn't think you can use the 12v that splits into 2x 8 pin and use it alongside a single 8 pin

[ashen spindle]

why not

[pale sigil]

No idea, he probably thinks it'll blow up

[unkempt lake]

He's dumb

how about

He returns his 12vhpwr card if he's so worried about it exploding

[ashen spindle]

??

[unkempt lake]

Either commit to it and use it

[ashen spindle]

dashi please read again whos using the psu

[unkempt lake]

Pleasant isn't using it

Its for his friend

[pale sigil]

It's for my fridn

Friend

[analog sinew]

👀

i saw that

[ashen spindle]

??? why do you ask about your new psu them lamo

[pale sigil]

Idk

[unkempt lake]

Probably because he guessed you wouldn't answer otherwise?

[pale sigil]

Wording

[ashen spindle]

anyway the same way you can put multiple 8 pins into one 12pin you can do the reverse

so you can split the 600w 12pin from the psu into 8 pins just fine

[pale sigil]

To be clear

The question is having the 600w that has 2x8 pins at the end plugged in AND 1x normal 8 pin from the GPU

[ashen spindle]

yes

there is nothing complex about this

[pale sigil]

He said he doesn't trust you so I just cba now

Saying he's never seen people do it and can't find any sources lol

[ashen spindle]

well yeah because up till recently psu's didnt even have a native 12 pin

and normally people when buying new buy a psu that works without adapter

but its literally just the same as using 2 8 pins in an adapter and putting that in the gpu

idk if he cant explain what he thinks is the problem we cant tell him why its fine

the 4"sense" pins are super dumb and can onyly detect if the cable is connected or not

what gpu is it even, would't be surprised if it would even be fine if it all ran over one cable lmao

[pale sigil]

4070 super

He also refuses to reply here

[ashen spindle]

so thats 220w tdp, the pcie slot can deliver some so lets say 200W thats enough with one cable lmfao

[pale sigil]

I wanna buy a PSU to spite him XD

[ashen spindle]

one 8 pin is rated for 150w technically but in any non 5€ china cable you can do 300W per 8 pin

the it getting hot and such is when you put the 12 pin into a 5090/80 while drawing like >450 watt over one cable

unless you like idk LN2 OC your card that aint happening

[pale sigil]

He wants proof so there's no point now

[ashen spindle]

idk look at any of the video der8auer made of his 12 pin melting its always been when its all balanced wrongly onto one cable on his 5090, a 4070S doesnt come even close to that being possible
