[prisma island]

The bios is the same version as mine

And i have no issues

We have same ram aswell

[pale sigil]

Same revision?

[prisma island]

Wym by revision

[pale sigil]

There's 2 versions of the mobo

Where they bought at the same time?

There's rev 1 and rev 1.1

[prisma island]

nono

Let me check

[pale sigil]

I would honestly try flash back regardless

How do you know the bios version also

Sorry if I missed crucial information

[umbral heron]

There's 1/1.1 and 1.2 even
But since it's an old-ish mobo then it's most likely 1.2

[pale sigil]

New system?

[prisma island]

Its a new system

Built 3 days ago

Ever since just been randomly crashing due to different errors but mostly the

[proud tartan]

[pale sigil]

Oh so you have booted before

[prisma island]

Yeah

[pale sigil]

Can you use the other computers ram

[prisma island]

It just keeps crashing mid game

[pale sigil]

Effort but it's a fast way to test ram issues

[prisma island]

no we sadly live 30min away from eachother

[pale sigil]

Ah

Ah so this is a I'm remotely helping someone while also getting help remotely myself situation

[prisma island]

Yeah🤣🤣

Its a pain

[pale sigil]

Been there

[prisma island]

she has 0 knowledge abt pc’s

So everything i explain i have to explain 10 times

[pale sigil]

My cousin just said fuck it and drove an hour and 40 min and plopped his desktop on my desk

Same day

[umbral heron]

Pack your things, we going

[prisma island]

I told her the same

[pale sigil]

But ye if it's not going past memory it is most definitely a memory issue.

I'm guessing someone suggested one stick at a time?

[prisma island]

I was gon give her my pc since specs are the same

And id just figure hers out at home

We genuinely got an exact replica of pc only gpu has diff manifacturer

[pale sigil]

The bios thing is unlikely to change the situation since you booted once already.

[prisma island]

Its

I think the exact same as mine

Its out since january 2024

The mb

[spare badge]

whys a program named epicwebhelper running in my background when i NEVER had epic games downloaded before??

[ashen spindle]

because other games use epic online services for multiplayer

[spare badge]

oh i was so worried haha ty

[prisma island]

@pale sigil @umbral heron

[umbral heron]

Could you make a photo of the left side from the cooler?

[pale sigil]

I was about to ask that too

[prisma island]

Why so? Just asked her to do so tho

[umbral heron]

Difference between revisions is WiFi chip, which is on the other side

[pale sigil]

I think this is just angle

But the right looks different?

[prisma island]

Just asked her

[pale sigil]

And the left looks not clipped in?

[prisma island]

To retake

I think its angle

[pale sigil]

Nvm it looks fine ye

[prisma island]

I told her to carefully listen to a click

[pale sigil]

I just noticed the bottom of the stick

[prisma island]

Ye i gotchu

Looks good no?

[umbral heron]

Oh, there's a shroud

Nevermind

AHA!

[prisma island]

huh 😓

[umbral heron]

1.1

[prisma island]

she said she put 1 in and has waited 2 mins and nothing happens

[pale sigil]

Try the other

On its own

[prisma island]

Again red light

[umbral heron]

[prisma island]

She has tried the other on its own now so im waiting

[sullen bear]

Ngl if ur eu i think ur best off just going over to her next day

[pale sigil]

Semi related but I find it amusing how WiFi on motherboards used to be quite a luxury

Now they are basically the same price or default versions

[prisma island]

i wish

Im working till late

[sullen bear]

Rip

[prisma island]

Fulltime job person here

[sullen bear]

She live that far?

[umbral heron]

Sleep is for weaklings

[prisma island]

40mins drive, but its snowy and freezing at the same time

So ion feel like driving

I like driving fast or else my skin itches

💔

[pale sigil]

What

[prisma island]

Nobody even uses wifi

[prisma island]

LOL i got no patience to drive slowly in the snow

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-wait-nathan-fillion-gif-4809231

[prisma island]

So the drive will be delayed

[pale sigil]

Very very bold statement

[prisma island]

For like an hour to 10-20 mins

Instead of just 40mins

Too lazy basically😕

[prisma island]

Mb fren

Could it be

That 1 ram slot is just broken

I told her to try the ram per stick in slot 4 aswell

Just in case

[umbral heron]

Wireless is black magic
You are telling me you are sending data through air?
Packets of data - through air?!
You can only send a continuous signal, like radio or TV, duh
All kinds of wifi, schifi, it's all just black magic
You'll see, entropy will deal with all y'all

[sullen bear]

Btw to cmos/bios reset imo its easier and more consistent to just hold a screwdriver on the clear_cmos pins

[prisma island]

ok so

back to topic she has tried both ram sticks in slot 2 and no success

pc just dont boot up

Well it goes on but

Again red light

[sullen bear]

Red dram light indicates issue with ram, so or the cpu is fucked, which i doubt, or shes not sticking the ram in correctly

Especially since it worked before

[prisma island]

mf this

ong i just KNOW for a fact she just messing up the ram seating

It all looks good but i just know sum wrong

this woman god bless me im still alive after all the stress she brings me through

💔✌️

[umbral heron]

[pale sigil]

Tell her to replug this for good luck

[prisma island]

Okok

[pale sigil]

0.1% chance it's the issue but hey

It has happened on Reddit lol

[prisma island]

LOL

[sullen bear]

Why would u replug the cpu power cable?

[prisma island]

@pale sigil can it do any harm to unplug all cables off the mother board

If it harms anything i wont

[pale sigil]

When powered off no

[prisma island]

Okok

[pale sigil]

I've seen it happen on Reddit, it wasn't fully clicked in and kept causing crashes etc

I already said ram issue most likely but at this point eh why not try.

It is odd for both sticks to be an issue though.

[sullen bear]

Fair, i assume its done correctly though, as @prisma island says he built it properly

[sullen bear]

Your system should be able to post with just cpu, ram, cpu power, and 24 pin

[prisma island]

Oh i mean

I didnt plug every cable in

Only the cpu powe, motherboard, gpu cables

[magic minnow]

@unkempt lake

[prisma island]

I remember taking out the magnet battery on a motherboard and putting it back in after a minute can help aswell

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-C_9TKQTiCo
Now this brings back memories.

[sullen bear]

Thats a cmos reset

But you can just do the pin method too

[prisma island]

Well

Shes too scared and shaky and overstimulated to even take

The magnet out

[pale sigil]

Magnet? Xd

[prisma island]

The battery thing

[pale sigil]

I don't think it's a magnet, it clips in

[sullen bear]

Thats why im saying you should just fix it haha

[pale sigil]

I was confused it's a second

[sullen bear]

Shes only gonna get more annoyed

[prisma island]

Probs

[pale sigil]

Tbh ye it sounds like it's best you fixed it

[sullen bear]

But the pin method is just holding a screwdriver on the pins

[pale sigil]

If only she lived in Merseyside in the UK

[prisma island]

Yeah i mean fuck man it just takes a whole day for me to trouble shoot evrrything and test everything

[prisma island]

u saying u woulda stole my girl twin

[pale sigil]

Definitely, I'll show her how a real man does tech support.

[umbral heron]

You know a guy?

[prisma island]

i claim defeat

[sullen bear]

[pale sigil]

However if her door has a step in shit out of luck

Or well she is

[sullen bear]

My gf is quite good with tech but she gets annoyed easily with the issues

She built her own pc and upgraded it too

All i have to do is tell her how to fix something

[prisma island]

Yeah no mine doesnt even know how to unplug her ethernet cable

[pale sigil]

Tbh

I would just be like

I cannot deal with tech support for multiple days and

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

Even IF I barely had time

I hate it so much, so so so much.

[prisma island]

No worries mate

I can relate

Just genuinely had no time other than help her as much as i can

[pale sigil]

I don't mind helping, I just don't want to help people I know irl

[prisma island]

Technically looking for all reasons and steps

[pale sigil]

Because I can't just vanish when I'm mentally drained.

[prisma island]

And yet she get agitated w me

😭

[pale sigil]

https://www.home-assistant.io/voice-pe/

I think it's being released finally

Says Dec but idk if orders went out

Ye I can buy one

[wheat plume]

Voice control?!

No longer need Google assistant

[tropic ferry]

ah yes all the viruses i downloaded when i was a kid

[tribal dirge]

I would love to see the OG macbook make a return

now is a better time than ever to release one

a sub 1000 dollar email machine for the normies would sell like hotcakes

actually

maybe even sub 700 dollars

[magic minnow]

I’m entertaining the idea of getting the 17PM and skipping the first generation of the Fold

[tribal dirge]

yeah good idea

[unkempt lake]

😡

i hate you

you got it way way wa befote me

[vapid ruin]

Legit me. Just want something nice and simple + long battery to write

[magic minnow]

The weight distribution feels good with the little paddles out

[unkempt lake]

Pog

Cant wait to get mine

[vapid ruin]

Also wondering how good it'll be for side pc for streaming

[tribal dirge]

trueee!!!

[halcyon moss]

They've had this for a while

[nimble arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mun8ieYgmz4

[old marlin]

It is released

I got 2 of them

Had issues with them unpairing

They repeat themselves quite a bit, i could prob trim their config files by a lot

And functionality is somewhat lackluster, same thing goes again ig

[halcyon moss]

do you self host the LLM?

[steady sail]

Casual Japan ?

[old marlin]

you could

I don't

[prisma island]

@pale sigil For info to get back on the case from yesterday, got her to take out the CPU battery and plug back in, then booting up without RAM, turning PC off, then back on WITH RAM sticks entered. THEN boot up again and now it finally got the PC to turn on again... and now we are trying valorant again HOPEFULLY reseating the ram 5 times and taking out the CPU battery helped..

@sullen bear@umbral heron u 2 aswell ^

C:

[pale sigil]

Update the bios if you can anyway

Even if it's not the issue

[prisma island]

good news

valorant crashes again, BUT not the PC

so i guess thats an improvement nonetheless

told her to reinstall the whole client + valorant

• clean install vanguard

[steady sail]

I love Microslop

[jaunty ivy]

Eh, more like Macroslop tbh

[prisma island]

@pale sigilAnother thing, her VM was put to 5120MB sized while the recommended amount was 4878MB could this have caused extra issues?

for now the

pc hasnt crashed once

[fair gull]

4878?

wat

[prisma island]

yes

[fair gull]

thats some extra odd number

[prisma island]

yeah i know

idk why but thats what says its recommended

Virtual memory is usage of your GPU's 16gigs?

right?

im sorry if im saying something stupid rn

T-T

[fair gull]

oh thats what you meant with vm

just leave as recommended imo

its just the pagefile on disk

unsure how windows calculates the pagefile size it uses for automatic

[pale sigil]

I was so confused when you said VM too haha

[fair gull]

yeah i thought virtual machine ram

or video memory (shared if its igpu)

like this is my 64gb pc and i just have it on automanage as i always did

[prisma island]

fairs hers was on 5120

for no reason

and she has 32gigs ram

@fair gull@pale sigil Okay i think i found the culprit

Can u guys give any ideas as to why its happening and how to fix because

We just uninstalled valorant AND vanguard (the anti-cheat)

No issues no crashes, now mid download of Valorant and the vanguard anti cheat it crashed, especially near the middle/end of the download

[pale sigil]

You just said you think you found it lol

And then ask ideas XD

[prisma island]

i think its due to the anti cheat?

[pale sigil]

Confused

Have you tried other games

[prisma island]

cuz im not sure since i have low experience with this shit

[pale sigil]

I know 0 avoid valorant other than it's spyware

[prisma island]

yeah fortnite she gets 0 crashes but when vanguard is opened it gives her a crash report

XD

its giving this error again

[halcyon moss]

run memtest

is it a new pc? could be borked memory

[prisma island]

we have ran a memory test software for an hour and showed no issues with ram

[prisma island]

yeah its brand new

[halcyon moss]

self assembled or prebuilt? if prebuilt contact their support

[prisma island]

self assembled

but its a much credited site with return policy's

you recommend sending the ram back?

[halcyon moss]

1h mem test is not enough.. and even then it might not show up.

[prisma island]

we have ran 3 memory tests from windows itself saying no issue

temperatures are also good

[loud hemlock]

You should run memtest86 off of a USB drive

[prisma island]

not my pc and my gf lives an hour away T-T

but good

i will explain her how to do that

[fair gull]

the windows memory test is a joke

[loud hemlock]

Yeah it's super annoying and you need to disable secure boot to try it too afaik

[fair gull]

memtest86 for 8hrs is hwo i usually run memtests

[fair gull]

na modern memtest works fine with secureboot

[halcyon moss]

I had a laptop for which i bought memory and it crashed often with that extra memory. memtest can out clean 🙁

[loud hemlock]

Ah nice I didn't know that

[prisma island]

idk if this is somewhat true

[loud hemlock]

There's some Reddit threads saying disabling Core isolation can help but it sounds wrong to me

[prisma island]

ive tried that </3

[loud hemlock]

But then again it is valorant so idk

Ah rip

[prisma island]

this is what event viewer says

[halcyon moss]

are you overclocking memory? aka xmp or something

[prisma island]

had it on EXPO 1 for AMD drivers then turned it off

both scenarios ..

its turned off now for a while

[halcyon moss]

yup, first a few rounds of memtest

[prisma island]

this comes with it

[halcyon moss]

these are really annoying things to track down unfortunately

[fair gull]

one could check the drivers loaded with bluescreenview and maybe find a driver that may have caused the issue but i doubt it for mem bsod

[prisma island]

Could this be the issue..

since vanguard is a kernel dma anti cheat stuff thing idk

[halcyon moss]

run the memtest. then continue on.

[prisma island]

Ts pmo

[rough osprey]

so no nvidia gaming gpus today

poor people waiting for super versions lol

[analog sinew]

no gpus? not even a little? just more slop? okay...

[rough osprey]

i hope it will feature an update on reflex 2

[nimble arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kmpZPeNMCo

130"

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah that update will be all about how you can rent those GPUs instead

[analog sinew]

or their ai that plays the game for you

it will be a fun day when those hit pvp games

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah then I can complain that my teammates are bots and it will be factual

AI slop taking over your COD lobbies

Grrr

Linux players should not be allowed to have it easy

[nimble arch]

Who needs working Linux drivers when you can just stream the games instead

[balmy vector]

2026 the year of the Linux handheld v2

[spiral island]

"Negative latency streaming"

[crimson wigeon]

Well they already made it work natively, just only on SteamOS so shouldn't be too hard to make it work on other distros. I find it somewhat useful to quickly run those slop games that only work on Windows, or are way too big only to be played twice a year

[pale sigil]

Didn't they do this during COVID too

With the 1060?

[spiral island]

Possibly, I can't remember shit from the Before Time

[pale sigil]

Or some other GPU that was basically a 1060

Can't remember

[empty wren]

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-aibs-silently-reintroducing-geforce-rtx-2060-rtx-2060-super-graphics-cards/

Maybe this

[umbral heron]

Just like communism
Heroically fighting the problems caused by them

[pale sigil]

Probably

[tribal dirge]

And DLSS 4.5

[balmy vector]

Dlss downscaling

[tribal dirge]

That's just called DLAA

[balmy vector]

They don’t have to know

[umbral heron]

Wonder if this time around it'll be something cool
MFG 4x was... not

[ashen spindle]

its dynamic mfg and just newer dlss model

nothing else till next gen

[crimson wigeon]

8x fake frames let's go

[ashen spindle]

oh great now desktop ui is breaking too

[umbral heron]

That's MFG for you

[nimble arch]

FSR4 for PS5 Pro soon™

Bambu A2 coming?

[empty wren]

Hope that includes a fix to the small power board, which there already is a standard for.

[tribal dirge]

prolly

[empty wren]

https://youtu.be/hiBRVFe1TyQ

[tribal dirge]

apparently newer units are already fixed

[empty wren]

If true good

[umbral heron]

New units supposedly come with just a piece of wire bridging where thermistor was

[pastel galleon]

hello

hru

[umbral heron]

I mean it'll work, but come on

[pastel galleon]

whats that

4K DLSS performance cant stop winning

https://tenor.com/view/i-can't-stop-winning-lets-go-gambling-gif-7706745854605433240

[umbral heron]

Sure
But it's a solution like "if you are cold you can piss yourself" way

[old marlin]

Can't wait for 6 frames of motion blur and input smoothing

[lunar elm]

What are you on?

[old marlin]

New framegen

Will go to 6x instead of the already dreadful 4x

[lunar elm]

DLSS4.5, not referring to framegen?

[old marlin]

ye

will still look like ass

[lunar elm]

???

[old marlin]

I hate how DLSS looks

[lunar elm]

yeah ok and

[tribal dirge]

butbut, DLAA

[lunar elm]

4K DLSS performance users getting fine wine

[old marlin]

getting fine copium

[lunar elm]

what card do you even have

[old marlin]

what use is the res if it will look shit

[old marlin]

5080

[lunar elm]

[tribal dirge]

I love DLAA

[lunar elm]

what resolution

[old marlin]

UWQHD

[lunar elm]

yeah 4K DLSS performance still has higher internal resolution than that

4K DLSS perf looks good becauss it has enough base data to expand off

[old marlin]

it doesn't

[lunar elm]

UWQHD quality is 3.3 mil pixels whilst 4K perf is 4.1 mil

[old marlin]

I don't use DLSS at all

[lunar elm]

go do the math

yeah get a load of this guy

[pastel galleon]

Ultra Wide Quad HIgh Definition = UWQHD?

[lunar elm]

3440x1440

[ashen spindle]

the math doesnt matter if I can do blind tests for myself and still see a difference and dislike it

[old marlin]

it's ~75% of "4k" resolution wise

[pastel galleon]

also 2560x1440 or x1600 looks really nice on my Framework 16

I disabled 10% of my pixels

[lunar elm]

thats more related to ppi

[lunar elm]

the internal render data… 4K performance has more data to work with over UWQHD quality

[pastel galleon]

yeah ik

[lunar elm]

Quality is basically 67% whilst performance is 50%

[old marlin]

yea about 33% more on the vertical axis

I'll tell you what that will do jack shit

[frozen ingot]

DLSS4 transformer is barely noticable in a lot of games now

[pastel galleon]

if you go from 2560x1600 to 2560x1440, that is disabling 10% of the pixels on screen I think

[frozen ingot]

you really have to actively look for it to notice it

[old marlin]

yea 1440 is 90% of 1600

[old marlin]

I notice it and that annoys me

[pastel galleon]

yeah, I like 16:9 better

[lunar elm]

that guy’s the type to get chewed out by AMD fanboys on a 7900XTX that has a worse featureset than a 2060

[frozen ingot]

skill issue

[old marlin]

I also hate TAA

[frozen ingot]

[tribal dirge]

Ever since I got my 5090 I stuck with DLAA and never looked back

DLAA with the new transformer model looks amazing

[old marlin]

I mean don't get me wrong, buy the card that works best for you in your budget

I don't care about brand

upscaling and especially framegen just looks bad to me

[pastel galleon]

and then I'm just chilling with a 9070 XT in mh main rig and a 7700S in my laptop

[frozen ingot]

I tried DLAA in arc raiders and the difference was so tiny I switched to DLSS quality for more fps

[old marlin]

the 5070ti used to actually be a decent card around it's budget which was unusual for nvidia

[lunar elm]

framegen is whatever but dlss4 is amazing lol

[distant tapir]

1440p upscaled to 5k

[lunar elm]

5070ti this gen is best value

[ashen spindle]

have you ever considered different people notice different things so it might just be the issues are more noticeable to him than you?

[old marlin]

ah yes "5k"

[tribal dirge]

I will say the visual difference between 4K DLAA and 4K DLSS balanced is minimal

[old marlin]

yea if you wanna use it go on and do so

[distant tapir]

5120 x 2880 yes

[tribal dirge]

Using the same transformer model that is

If you pixel peep you can notice it however

And FG beyond 2x is very smeary

[old marlin]

the reason why I am annoyed at those naming conventions is because it can be like triple the pixels just from wikipedias table

[tribal dirge]

I would not recommend going higher than 2X for FG

[lunar elm]

FG x3 is alright… Wouldnt touch x4

[old marlin]

"4k" is even worse and most "4k" displays do not have 4000 horizontal pixels

[tribal dirge]

For me FG 3X had way too much smear

[old marlin]

I would not recommend FG at all tbh

[distant tapir]

I think it's fine as it's 16:9

[lunar elm]

what card were you using?

[distant tapir]

Do I have to post the pasta again

[tribal dirge]

5090

[lunar elm]

game? and base fps

[tribal dirge]

Battlefield 6

[old marlin]

like it seriously fucks so much with visuals that I wouldn't play with it at all and rather take a resolution drop

[old marlin]

yea uhh, most "4k" displays are UHD

[tribal dirge]

FG does add some smear yeah

[ashen spindle]

I could notice the best upscaling option on BL4 and framegen on low base fps is just horrible so all I did was decide if I wanted lower fps or lower details and either one was annoying ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[distant tapir]

Sure and I have no issue calling them 4k

[tribal dirge]

It's tolerable on 2X but 3X is where it really looks bad

[lunar elm]

i’d use FG only as a brutefoce- otherwise I’d just stick to DLSS modes to achieve higher fps

[old marlin]

what about "5k2k" then

[old marlin]

instead of just calling it UWUHD

[tribal dirge]

Same

[ashen spindle]

reason im hoping for a good 4k UW this CES so maybe dlss becomes usable for me

[balmy vector]

if i gotta use a temporal solution, dlss it is. but i prefer no aa

[lunar elm]

Im looking forward to CES26 for 4K Glossy Oleds

[old marlin]

can't wait for LG to make the best panel but it only being on 800R monitors

[tribal dirge]

You should give DLAA a try, it's basically DLSS at 100% resolution scale and it looks really really good.

[lunar elm]

screw samsung, shooting themselves in the foot over and over with matte coating

[distant tapir]

I'm fine with that also

[balmy vector]

tried, and honestly didnt notice it in what i tried

though that was during dlss3

[tribal dirge]

Try the new transformer model

They made some big improvements

[balmy vector]

been using transformer on quality since it dropped

just not dlaa

[frozen ingot]

yeah can't compare dlss 3 to 4

[lunar elm]

in some games DLAA fixed noise where TAA was struggling with

Least in my experience

[balmy vector]

ill try some stuff though

[distant tapir]

I find DLSS good looking on my screen because of the size, resolution and my distance to it

When I had a C2 at the same viewing distance I hated DLSS because it was so blurry. Like ultra TAA

[tribal dirge]

TAA also smears really badly in a lot of cases where DLAA does not

[lunar elm]

i cant wait to get myself a 4K monitor this year

[frozen ingot]

I play on a 1440p 32" screen and dlss looks great to me

TAA never looks good

[old marlin]

to be fair TAA also just looks plain bad

[lunar elm]

whatever nvidia did with DLSS4 is black magic fr

[old marlin]

I LOVE it when UE5 games give me the option of TAA or framegen 💀

[tribal dirge]

It's the transformer model and newer and better training data

That's about it really

[lunar elm]

XTX watching itself crap the bed being shat on by a 2060 when it comes to featureset support:

[old marlin]

what featureset are you talking about

[lunar elm]

20 series with DLSS4.5 while RDNA3 cant even use FSR4

[old marlin]

cause the 7900xtx will absolutely shit on a 2060 and I would take it any day if I had the option of the two

[tribal dirge]

RDNA3 not being able to use FSR4 is really sucky ngl

[old marlin]

not to mention that a 2060 is a measely 6GB of vram which would already make it DOA at this point in time

[old marlin]

you know you still need vram

[lunar elm]

dude what ur saying is entirely unrelated

[umbral heron]

How I used FSR4 dll on my RDNA3 yesterday, hmm...

[old marlin]

even with DLSS

resolution is basically a non-factor to vram useage nowadays so a 2060 would struggle with most games that even have DLSS 4.5

[lunar elm]

the way rdna3 uses fsr4 is so roundabout

[nimble arch]

AMD were too late to the party with ML upscaling

FineWine is dead

[lunar elm]

AMD: Introducing AgedMilk

[tribal dirge]

The issue is native support. They could have gave RDNA3 native FSR4 support but they didn't because they want to sell you newer GPUs for those who don't have the same level of technical expertise as us.

[lunar elm]

A year later and AMD’s job is being done by a 3rd party xd

[tribal dirge]

Which is why it's really sucky in my opinion

[old marlin]

well at least it can run the game natively

meanwhile a 2060 would STRUGGLE to run any modern title at any resolution

[lunar elm]

yo sorry but you’re very off the point

[old marlin]

so what is the point

nvidia being oh so gracious?

[ashen spindle]

yes older nvidia cards can use more features but even with the features its not beating a 7900 so whats the point?

[old marlin]

the 9060xt 8gb is essentialyl DOA because it only has 8GB

so what use is a 2080S when it is struggling under the same limitation

[tribal dirge]

it will improve with time, they just need to make a full transformer model of their own and bigger datasets. FSR4 I feel is kind of their stopgap between CNN and Transformer given its hybrid model architecture.

hopefully FSR5 will be full transformer

[old marlin]

same company that didn't give review samples of the 5060 Ti 8GB because they knew the card was shit btw

[nimble arch]

It’ll come in time for PS6

[old marlin]

not saying AMD is any better, they both just want your money

[tribal dirge]

yee

[nimble arch]

Given the Sony-AMD partnership

It’ll probably launch on PS6

[tribal dirge]

sony might tweak it a little bit but who knows

[lunar elm]

same company that also shot the 5080 in the back by giving it 16gb vram and like 10% faster than the 70Ti

[old marlin]

yup

glad I got mine for a good price

[lunar elm]

which was

[old marlin]

1.2

back when you still couldn't just buy a GPU

[lunar elm]

https://tenor.com/view/dudidam-mambo-matikane-tannhauser-vtuber-dance-gif-253137180940701003

[old marlin]

in hindsight waiting would have been better but

could not have known

[lunar elm]

5070ti is goated

[old marlin]

not right now

[lunar elm]

I know someone who snagged their tuf from MC for straight 2k

[old marlin]

prices hiked up fast

[old marlin]

💀 2k?

[lunar elm]

every SKU above 5060 is getting fked

[tribal dirge]

thats the amount I spent on my 5090 LMAO

[lunar elm]

5090 TUF*

[old marlin]

ah

good price ig

[tribal dirge]

oh wow, nice

MSRP even

[old marlin]

back when I got my 5080 the msrp for any 5090 was already at like 2.5k

cheapest 5070ti rn is 789€

cheapest 9070xt is 625€

[lunar elm]

thats still pretty good considering 5080s are likely already climbing back to 1.2k

[old marlin]

so ik which one I would pick

[lunar elm]

2.5k for a 5090 still isnt bad unless its a ventus or any msi card for that fact

theres simply nothing in the 5090’s range

[old marlin]

yea that was MSRP tho, not what you could get

I could have gotten a 5090 for 3.3k iirc

obv didn't

[lunar elm]

I bought my 5090 Aorus for the SKU’s MSRP

shop made $0 from it basically

[old marlin]

💀 tbh any nvidia card that isn't asus is gonna suck OOTB because nvidia enforces fan curves

and afaik asus still is the only one that has weird fans with alinear fan curves

[old marlin]

they still have margin

[sudden imp]

If they bring back the 3060 we are not getting 12gbs

[tribal dirge]

and maybe the MSI lightning 5090

[lunar elm]

nah the last margin point was from distributor, im close with the shop owner and he straight up let me get it for the SKU msrp

[tribal dirge]

2500W beast of a card

[old marlin]

even that still needs a fan curve adjustment to not be loud

[lunar elm]

ur not gonna be running that card on air at 2500w anyway

[tribal dirge]

ohno its liquid cooled, they deffo use some weird fan curve

[old marlin]

they literally are not allowed to

even the matrix has to abide by nvidias fan curve rule

now asus kinda bypasses it with their fans but that is still stupid

[tribal dirge]

who knows, its a 2500W card after all

[lunar elm]

nvidia’s fan curve im pretty sure is application based

the fans only stop at idle/low/no work

[old marlin]

nope

[lunar elm]

ive noticed it only kicks in when doing stuff like games or when VSR has stuff to do

[old marlin]

the way they implemented it is really stupid and enforces all the AIBs to have really loud cards unless they get weird fans

[frozen ingot]

I got a good deal on a 5070

[lunar elm]

i meant 0 rpm mode btw mb

[frozen ingot]

should last me until 2030 at this rate

[old marlin]

yea I meant under load

[lunar elm]

considering mines in a fullsized ATX case its virtually inaudible anyway

I have a room temp of like around 30C on average, at 150w shits barely breaking 40c

[old marlin]

https://youtu.be/4a5RNPyXh54?si=luL6Hss-xoF_Rlcr&t=436

💀 man that sounds ass

oh wait #🌐│pc_gear

[old marlin]

for logitech to not suck ass

[rough osprey]

it's adjustable so

[old marlin]

adjustable does not mean good

just yaknow, adjustable

Can't even get Office nowadays without AI crap shoved in

[karmic falcon]

Watching the nvidia ces keynote..... 148 mentions of AI in about an hour

💤

[umbral heron]

Every time Jensen says AI you can barely see dollar symbol in his eyes

[karmic falcon]

₳I

[ashen spindle]

could've told you before xD we wont get anything past dlss updates

[karmic falcon]

Pretty sure the C in CES is for consumer

[ashen spindle]

not for nvidia

[umbral heron]

Yeah
OpenAI is their top consumer now

[sudden imp]

When will we see the cool stuff?

like monitors, peripherals, cases?

Anything that doesn’t have AI on it

[umbral heron]

yes, yes, yes, no

[ashen spindle]

starting tomorrow

today isnt ces yet its just pre opening keynotes

[sudden imp]

I see

[mild dome]

At this point "AI" labels are just the marketing team marking their territory on everything

[umbral heron]

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

[ashen spindle]

now intel keynote will be nicer

only 50% ai jerking and some ptl and other

[nimble arch]

TFW your AI girlfriend doesn’t give you AI cuddles

[pale sigil]

I've come to the conclusion Windows Is shit but people over exaggerate with the hate

[modern sphinx]

I don't get it either but then I've never tried anything else. Windows is free so I'm not overly fussed

[umbral heron]

I would keep Windows on my PC after BF6 but Windows Update wanted to do EFI partition its way, despite all files being signed for Secure Boot
What's even better that it only broke winload and nothing else

[sudden imp]

Did Nvidia release any consumer products at the Consumer Electronics Show

[ashen spindle]

ofc not

same as last year

[pale sigil]

I'm installing Linux ATM

Another attempt at using it over windows.... How long will I last this time?

[unkempt lake]

logitech is fine imo

and the hate is stupid

[pale sigil]

I give up already

Its stuttery

[analog sinew]

you gave it your all

i think we should shut it down

[unkempt lake]

especially when all the alternatives like pulsar and whatever have their own QC/firmware issues

[unkempt lake]

<16 minutes later

absolute moumou

[pale sigil]

ok for my sanity im gonna try something else

[unkempt lake]

yet when your 9800x3d stutters in windows

i dont see you giving up on windows

[pale sigil]

To be clear I mean the OS

Not games

Moving windows etc

[unkempt lake]

your windows was stuttery

i remember when you installed yoru 9800x3d

yet you still use windows

u stink

[pale sigil]

I don't remember it being stuttery

It was shitting itself but it fixed itself

[ashen spindle]

if you desktop is stuttery thats a broken install or broken hardware, no matter if windows linux macos

[pale sigil]

It's an Nvidia thing, it's always Nvidia

Especially with Wayland

[unkempt lake]

callum skill issue

[pale sigil]

I'm tempted to use on board

To shut you up

Ubuntu live environment is butter

But I really don't wanna use Ubuntu 😭

Screw it Ubuntu it is

Better quality too

Lekker and Tekken are made by us.

The rest are other brands, either better or just different.

i have only tried lekker and tekken

If you want light l45 is nice

[azure otter]

i personally went with owlab ti he 40g switches

[leaden kiln]

tikken should be pretty nice and stable, and they’re not super expensive after the discount buying them with the kb right

[fair gull]

tikken*

tony big bully reminding callum he no longer works for wooting

[pale sigil]

I was half asleep lol

[inland parrot]

wooting x bandai namco u mean?

[shell temple]

I might be opening a can of worms asking this question but fuck it. Can anyone help me here. I am in united states. I have "Wrapped TRON on the BNB network. I need BNB to send the transaction and swap it. I literally tried everything possible (VPN, everything.) I cannot buy BNB while being in America.

[ashen spindle]

yeah the solution is use money like a normal person

[shell temple]

yeah I bought this shitcoin years ago... like early 2000s and left it on a site. That site no longer allow US people

But its a decent amount of money where trying to figure out this problem even if its just spending $10 is worth it.

[pale sigil]

Why does this sound like the start of a scam

Lol

[shell temple]

lmao no i get it totally

[pale sigil]

Are you gonna send me $1m

[shell temple]

literally spent like several hours trying to figure this out and now im becoming desperate

[pale sigil]

But you need a few hundred sent first

How much is locked away now then

[shell temple]

only $250

[pale sigil]

Can you not send it somewhere

[shell temple]

I can but it needs BNB token (for the gas) to swap the currency

I was able to withdraw from binance.com but I cannot do anything else because I am not from EU

Its a legit problem, easy google.

[pale sigil]

Rip

[shell temple]

yeah literally

It was during a time when like Binance was one of the crypto sites out to buy certain kinds

[ashen spindle]

just wait some years and they open binance in the us anyway because the laws get changed

[shell temple]

yeah binance US is not linked to Binance.com

[ashen spindle]

yet

[shell temple]

Binance US is currently live

[ashen spindle]

trump basically pardoned cz anyway so they'll just merge it once allowed

[shell temple]

true

lmao I wish

I literally need a UKer to send me BNB

so fucking annoying

You summoned me

[ashen spindle]

first die shot of zen6 server

notice how the chiplets are not longer seperate and we'll get the same on desktop later

[distant tapir]

Is that good?

[tribal dirge]

thats is very very nice

all the CCDs are so close to the IO die

[ashen spindle]

no bottleneck between io die and cores anymore

[tribal dirge]

love to see it

[ashen spindle]

no handicapped memory

[tribal dirge]

\o/

[tribal dirge]

oh shiiiit, dual IO dies!!!!

how many PCIE lanes do those Instinct GPUS need!?!?!

[ashen spindle]

its 8 ccds with 32cores on each die

[tribal dirge]

256 cores she said right?

imma have to see the specs for this thing later, that is a crazy substrate shot

[distant tapir]

What do you think the performance gain will be for that?

[tribal dirge]

pretty significant

because there will be much less signal loss

so you can run at much faster data rates between the IO die and CCDs

[ashen spindle]

it means faster memory on desktop, how much you gain depends on much more, thats just a generic known upside

[inland parrot]

video generation

[jaunty rose]

Is nvidia actually bringing back the 3060?

Heard something about it online

[tribal dirge]

It's just rumors

[jaunty rose]

Alright 👍

[tribal dirge]

Yeah no official announcements just yet

[vapid ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4yl2twJswM

[tribal dirge]

I see someone got inspired by the Raspberry Pi 400

[vapid ruin]

At least it's strong naow

[tribal dirge]

It does look really cool

[halcyon moss]

I'm really not a fan of putting a pc in a keyboard..

[halcyon moss]

Separate is just better, want a different keyboard? Fine. Just unplug current one.
It's like all in one pc's like the iMac. Screen usually out lasts the computer by quite a while

[spare badge]

what does the window update (repair version) do? window suddenly offered me it

[bright briar]

new gigabyte 5090 card looks like a boom box

[nimble arch]

https://youtu.be/lAKEu9H43S8

[quiet iron]

How’s my setup looking

[tribal dirge]

Tuff

[quiet iron]

Thanks

[tribal dirge]

[vapid ruin]

no complain

[halcyon moss]

screens are overlapping? O_o

[gleaming geyser]

how do i change the switches on my v2

[reef patrol]

You take the tool, yank a keycap, then yank a switch.

Swapping all of them at once? Easier and faster to screw the board apart and push the switches out from behind with your fingers.

[gleaming geyser]

when i was using the switch puller i got in the box, the casing the aluminium case was pulled straight out instead of the switch

[reef patrol]

Well.. yes?

Take the module out and put it on the desk, then push down while pulling up.

[nimble arch]

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

Finally, an XPS I'd be willing to buy.

[alpine patio]

man i love it

[nimble arch]

Looks like it could be a good Linux laptop as well

No dual GPU nonsense, just an "efficient" Intel chip.

No benchmarks yet so that remains to be seen beyond the bullet points on the slide deck.

[halcyon moss]

They've got an f row again

[old marlin]

Finally, an xps

so essentially only GPU news is gonna be that 5090 ProArt becaus that gigabyte one looks horrendous and almost nobody’s buying a AIO 5090

[gentle osprey]

https://youtu.be/u4cfzFd9HzU?si=hdlwypGI1k7Wt0zr

Fake frames, fake frames for you my friend!

[gentle osprey]

Well the Frame Gen part yeah lol

not the Super Resolution

[reef patrol]

Don't really care either way. I'm off the nVidia wagon and happy about it 😄

[gentle osprey]

Fair enough lol

[gentle osprey]

Yeah he said that in the video

[lunar elm]

mb i didnt watch it yet

[gentle osprey]

All good

[lunar elm]

am heading to work xd

[lunar elm]

pantherlake looks interesting

[sullen bear]

Seems pretty good actually

[ashen spindle]

Seems like dlss is now useable with preset M and L

Reflections and similar still cause issues it seems but the strong points are really good now at least

[pastel galleon]

XG27AQNGV... idk if it will let users just enable ULMB 2 w/o G-SYNC because Pulsar is the 2 combined

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-announces-ryzen-ai-halo-mini-pc-platform-aimed-at-local-ai-positioned-against-nvidia-dgx-spark oh yeah this was funny to see them dig at spark

[halcyon moss]

is that a new cpu? or is it just the 395+ ?

[ashen spindle]

same chips its just the mini platform you can get it in now

[umbral heron]

Ryzen brick

[halcyon moss]

huh? there've been many small 395+ pcs

the framework one is huge

[fickle ore]

https://newsroom.intel.com/client-computing/ces-2026-intel-core-ultra-series-3-debut-first-built-on-intel-18a

[ashen spindle]

there isnt much outside of framework and like 3 laptops

also this is aimed vs the nvidia spark as a deskop thing for AI

[halcyon moss]

https://videocardz.com/newz/minisforum-ms-s1-max-to-feature-ryzen-ai-max-395-up-to-160w-and-usb4-v2

just one. there are many others

https://tweakers.net/reviews/13438/gmktec-evo-x2-met-amd-ryzen-ai-max+-395-mini-pc-met-megahardware.html

[ashen spindle]

none of these are around in volume really though

and again https://www.nvidia.com/de-de/products/workstations/dgx-spark/ its mostly to just offer a directly better version than this

[halcyon moss]

right..

yeah.. i guess it is smaller

https://youtu.be/82SyOtc9flA?t=466

[ashen spindle]

yeah and spark is a massive flop so might as well use your own hardware to clown on nvidia while possible

[halcyon moss]

the spark is expensive, but a macmini might be a better choice at that price point -_-

[ashen spindle]

spark also cant even run windows and has other issues

[umbral heron]

it just doesn't have drivers or it can not run windows at all for some reason?

[halcyon moss]

no windows needed tbh.. but anyway

[halcyon moss]

its arm based

[umbral heron]

[fickle ore]

Should I buy spark

[ashen spindle]

mediatek cpu

[halcyon moss]

its a competent cpu though

[ashen spindle]

ehhh

[halcyon moss]

not as fast as mac mini

[umbral heron]

Sounds like a good HTPC

[halcyon moss]

i mean.. almost nothing is as fast a mac mini with the highest tier cpu

[ashen spindle]

spark is like 4 grand for really not too much

[umbral heron]

[halcyon moss]

4 grand for 2 really fast ethernet connections 😉

[winter patrol]

just max out a mac mini / mac studio w/ 128gb ram

[umbral heron]

Kinda weird they didn't do partnership with Microsoft to show off Windows ARM on it

[halcyon moss]

its not really a desktop product i think

[fickle ore]

idk what that is even lmao

[vagrant pagoda]

Mediatek competent? What kind of rocks are you smoking XD

[ashen spindle]

tbf the issues are on nvidia

they didnt give mediatek the infor for the chiplet and then it had signal issues

[steady sail]

nvidia and issues nah thats not possible

[ashen spindle]

because mediatek had to guess

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean yeah the spark is garbage but mediatek has the worst software support of any arm setup

[lofty pivot]

oh wait, i wonder if apples ram pricing is about to get even more silly

[ashen spindle]

yeah doesnt help on cpu side but spark being shit is mostly down to nvidia being the worst to work with

[lofty pivot]

i totally forgot how much apple charged for ram upgrades

i just remember it was an absurd amount when i was speccing out my mac studio

[vapid ruin]

I hope it stays the same, cause then I wont complain about $500 for 32gb setup.

[lofty pivot]

yeah honestly if it stays the same suddenly apples ram pricing will look normal

[steady sail]

Imagine apple lowers ram prices for the shitty times

[halcyon moss]

it currently is an extra €500 for going from 16 to 32gb

on a mac mini base model

Why does my phone care? That's needless telemetry.

Sheesh, $700?

[magic minnow]

Just an estimate as well

[iron wave]

Yeah, but that's still a lot if it goes over or under.

[leaden kiln]

1080p sounds pretty low but I guess it's only 57 degrees fov too

At these sorts of price points VR headsets just make more sense.

[old marlin]

at least a 2060 now still can't run games

[analog sinew]

needs more vram, the thing nvidia has been cheaping out on for several generations

genius move

[lunar elm]

2060 needs more vram>2060 12 gb variant>its not powerful enough to use 12gb> cycle repeats

[magic minnow]

I’m gonna feel fomo for the 5090

[analog sinew]

fomo of the 2000 dollar house igniter

[magic minnow]

I wonder if the 6090 is gonna have less vram

And come with Ai 2

[analog sinew]

wouldnt surprise me

or it comes in two editions and the one with more vram is suspiciously nowhere

but i mean what gpu hasnt been a paper launch atp

its all downhill kids

[lunar elm]

nah we already have it

we have the cut down GB202 and 64GB less vram

our 5090s are 5080tis

[umbral heron]

Suspiciously all these GPUs will be in China and Jensen will say again that they are controlling the supply chain

[empty wren]

What was once old, is new again

[tribal dirge]

well LCDs have always refreshed row by row, but now the backlight strobes with the refresh of each LCD row

[empty wren]

It definitely does look more visually clear in motion

[tribal dirge]

pretty impressive

even more impressive when you compare it to DYAC 2

[empty wren]

Oof

[rough osprey]

but limited to 360hz

Tech so good it made battlenonsense post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6-EQoCJVFk

Anybody seen any videos or articles about this from CES?

[latent mural]

Don't need to you already know it's fire if Seasonic makes it

[leaden kiln]

I don't want fire in my pc

[solid jewel]

so... do people in here dabble in the github for the analogue sdk?

[latent mural]

from what a user says there has been a reported issue going for months without being fixed

not sure if support would help you out with that but i think they don't really give a shit

[solid jewel]

I gather you already read my tech support request.

[latent mural]

Not yours, another user just reported a issue with Caps lock light

But I know wootomation for example became deprecated

[solid jewel]

oh. I was reporting that the github code didn't (at the moment) compile.

[latent mural]

I hope you get a reply soon

[solid jewel]

I don't know if wootimation applies. Not a great select of tags.

[halcyon moss]

#🤖│community_dev

[latent mural]

The guy that made it doesn't work there anymore lol so I doubt it

[solid jewel]

I don't see community_dev as a choice ... do I need to be elevated to see that?

My 2 goals here are a) to make things work on FreeBSD and b) to make a port of that.

[halcyon moss]

dont believe so.

cant you click it?

[solid jewel]

and if those are unreasonable, I aim to reverse engineer the protocol sufficiently to get what I want.

OK... wasn't on my side-bar, is now. thanks.

[thick elk]

More importantly it will only work on Nvidia gpu's, if you ever use it with something else, good luck with that.
Hoped we moved past that point for monitors but nope

[halcyon moss]

you're not the first one to reverse engineer the protocol i believe. check that channel's history

[solid jewel]

awsome. Standing on the shoulders of ever-so-slightly taller people makes things easier.

Bruhhh

People about to have their anime waifu 3d projection AI

[halcyon moss]

meh looks quite lame

[crimson wigeon]

AI this AI that

[warm roost]

all's well that ends well

[steady sail]

What did you throw to the monitor ?

[leaden kiln]

I hope the answer is fist

[warm roost]

NOTHING LOL, she had a little slip and hit her head on the esc key of a cheap mechanical

[gusty kiln]

Now you have an excuse to buy the 1000hz monitor

[warm roost]

THE ONE ON THE RIGHT I BOUGHT YESTERDAY

it's a sign it literally inherited the throne, broken was 75hz new one is 240hz so

[pale sigil]

@warm roost oh hey

A fellow Callum

[pale sigil]

I see skadis

callums seeing each other in the woot verse

[tribal dirge]

Outch

What even happened!?

[unkempt lake]

callums seeing each other in UKverse

[sullen bear]

Cat?

[charred nexus]

man i really dont wanna upgrade my PC but my cpu is bottlenecking the hell out of my GPU in Apex Legends

[vagrant pagoda]

i think the 2200 is fanless upto 1000w XD

[umbral heron]

https://joseph-smith.co.uk/

[tribal dirge]

This is why you should trust no one when developing something!

[sullen bear]

what cpu do u have

[charred nexus]

11900K

[sullen bear]

💀

Yeah u cant really upgrade

unless u do platform upgrade

11900k is still ddr4 right?

[charred nexus]

yeah...

[sullen bear]

Your only upgrade is AM4 5(x)00x3d then

if you can find a mobo + cpu for 200-300 total its quite worth

but I doubt u can find a 5(x)00x3d for below 200-300

[tribal dirge]

A lot of the AM5 stuff is pretty expensive yeah

[umbral heron]

11900k still good CPU

[tribal dirge]

He claims he's CPU bottlenecked

[umbral heron]

11900K? On Apex?

[tribal dirge]

Idk, that's beyond me why he thinks he's bottlenecked

[umbral heron]

It needs CPU from a toaster, it's modified Source 1

[ashen spindle]

well he said he is bottlenecked, not that he is getting bad fps

[umbral heron]

Yeah, but even on a weaker CPUs you get to 300fps easily
You can't get more, because Apex

[charred nexus]

idk man im getting like 70% CPU usage with like 50% GPU usage with like 90fps in game

cuz theres no way i cant get at least 144 on all low setting at 1440P

[ashen spindle]

% usage doesnt show you what part is limiting you tbf

whats your gpu

[charred nexus]

7800XT

[umbral heron]

Looks more like your GPU is throttling to be honest

[ashen spindle]

try lowering your resolution if that increases fps

if it does, the gpu is limiting, if it doesnt, then cpu is

[sullen bear]

Lowering FPS increase CPU load

its probably ur single core performance throttling ur fps

[tribal dirge]

The goal is to identify the bottleneck, not doing it just to make it worse.

[sullen bear]

task manager > graph > rmb > show logical cores

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, like the main process thread or whatever

[pastel galleon]

I wonder if the XG27AQNGV can do ULMB 2 alone on the 9070 XT without having to use CRU

[ashen spindle]

task manager load just isnt super useful to determine the bottleneck as usage is calculated weirdly by windows, like based on the boost/base clock etc.

so checking if resolution changes your performance makes it easier to see if its actually the cpu thats limiting you

[charred nexus]

wait

[umbral heron]

I don't think single thread perf is a problem there
My 3600X was limited on 1440p by GPU and it's like 30% weaker than 11900K in single-core

[charred nexus]

let me finish this game of OW first

[pastel galleon]

it's a shame Pulsar isn't using Adaptive-Sync and uses G-SYNC

[fair gull]

what

if they didnt get paid then they didnt get paid

[tribal dirge]

Was talking more about backdoors, less so about the payment

Backdoors are a security risk

[fair gull]

id question how you know this was done via a backdoor

and not just ftp details they client gave them most likely

[umbral heron]

I like how Pink Power Ranger used backdoor to delete white supremacist dating site https://www.rxddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1q5ukyz/german_hacker_known_as_martha_root_dressed_as_a/

[tribal dirge]

That's fair

Honestly didn't think of that

I would still much rather do things myself though

Still sucky that someone didn't get paid don't get me wrong
