if you want to get a VISA you have to reveal your email and social media data

#

which is a big no

ashen spindle
#

put twitter on private, use a second email etc.

latent mural
#

not that I plan on moving outside of germany

#

they don't want your handle

ashen spindle
#

and for now it's voluntarely

latent mural
#

they want your login data

#

they also are currently are allowed for your phone password

ashen spindle
#

I meant make it private to make it look like you dont have an account

latent mural
#

yea

ashen spindle
#

yeah but for now you can say no

#

also they dont always even ask for that

latent mural
#

I have like 5 email accounts

#

so "loosing" one of them is not a big problem

ashen spindle
#

also nothing prevents you from changing data once your are out of the room

latent mural
#

ye

#

still is stupid

ashen spindle
#

yea

latent mural
#

but I gues that is to price to live in the most free country in the world kek

zenith sonnet
#

Anything new on the 144Hz, Freesync, QHD monitor market?

#

Hmm

#

Can't find anything about a release date

#

But it does sound nice

#

Guess I'm not ordering the Aorus until this one is out

latent mural
#

155hz PogChamp

pale sigil
#

With ips pricy

latent mural
pale sigil
#

Ye that's when it gets pricy

latent mural
#

376 isn't thaaaat bad

zenith sonnet
#

Aorus CV27Q

#

Also newly announced

#

Although it looks more like a proper HDR display from the little information

pale sigil
#

It'll probably be a while before I get a better monitor

#

Still waiting for an ultra wide

zenith sonnet
#

Ewww

ashen spindle
#

ultra wide is distGasm

zenith sonnet
#

I'd rather have 16:10

latent mural
#

LG Electronics 29UM69G-B is 200€

#

for an ips 1080p ultrawide

#

75hz

ashen spindle
#

idk I dont see any benefits from 16:10

#

ultrawide I can split up as two monitors kinda if needed, or use it for a nicer view compared to 16:9

pale sigil
#

Ye I meant 1440p and 144hz

#

That's a big screen also

#

Like 1080p in 2019

latent mural
#

onyl like 1150 € kek

pale sigil
latent mural
#

LG Electronics UltraGear 34GK950F-B

#

34" 1440p ultrawide with 144hz

pale sigil
#

If I had an income I wouldn't mind so much

#

Does it have freesync tho

latent mural
#

ye

#

HDR400

#

loooks pretty good overall

#

HDR is basically contrast

#

which is hard to give in easy to understand numbers

#

HDR 400 is the lowest of the general ratings

#

but still gives a much better image

zenith sonnet
#

ROG Swift PG27UQX 🤔

#

All the good reviewers say that HDR400 doesn't make a meaningful difference, but HDR800 and HDR1000 are pretty damn nice

latent mural
#

basically maximum brightness level

#

I woud too

#

but there are tons

#

just look at the lineup from one company

ashen spindle
#

it sounds like a good idea at first

#

until you see how many different monitors there are

latent mural
#

and you'd understand why tehy don't do it

ashen spindle
#

so you'd end up with Ikea naming patterns and end up summoning cthulu after looking at the names

zenith sonnet
#

Most monitor names encode panel type, size, and other features

latent mural
#

asus has like 137 monitors alone

#

they all are different and have a reason to exist

#

and the names do follow a pattern

pale sigil
#

Ye monitors are weird

latent mural
#

for asus it is usually Monitor line a designation of 2-3 letter usually for panel type, screen size, revision and then endings which indicate to special features

#

although the letters differ for some of the lines

#

the ROG can have XG for example

zenith sonnet
#

PG27UQX
G-Sync
27"
UHD
High end

ashen spindle
#

Its the same issue as with cpus/mobos/gpus. If I ask someone what CPU they have I hear "Intel Core I5" which tells me nothing, in those cases it would help if it's called "Intel AlligatorCPU" but the numbers do make sense if

zenith sonnet
#

Q may refer to 144Hz refresh rate

latent mural
#

new intel numbers are ok

zenith sonnet
#

G is G-Sync

#

P is Monitor?

#

P is panel.

#

P is IPS

#

V is TN

#

XeanoaToday at 12:57
G is G-Sync

#

I dunno how to quote.

#

I can't read

crimson wigeon
#

"ASUS GamePlus" obviously

zenith sonnet
#

Mkay, that makes much more sense

#

Thanks

#

PG is high end gaming, then

#

Usually, yes

#

Seen these before

#

Even for things like Ovens

ashen spindle
#

googled it, because for some vendors its easier or harder to find the naming convention they used

#

thats my only issue with the names

zenith sonnet
#

Well, shit.

ashen spindle
#

it't not easy to find the offical name schemes sometimes

zenith sonnet
#

I want new displays now.
But now I found many that are likely going to be much better coming soon.

#

That sucks

#

That also follows logic

ashen spindle
#

they follow a logic but the question is if we have a list that shows the logic

zenith sonnet
#

8 is FHD
A is QHD
U is UHD
MAybe.

#

Still think it's gotta do with refresh rate

#

Q is 144/155/165 Hz

ashen spindle
#

could also be monitors with their Quantum Dot tech

zenith sonnet
#

Although 155 and 165 Hz are just OC modes

#

It also may be that several people use different personal naming schemes for everything that comes after size

ashen spindle
#

for asus?

#

and idk any great monitor sites, only really used tftcentral in the past

zenith sonnet
#

They're good, but do like one review a month tops

#

rtings and prad.de have more reviews

#

All I want is a good Freesync monitor 😦

crimson wigeon
#

Maybe one day...

ashen spindle
#

well thats harder than for gsynch monitors sadly

zenith sonnet
#

Not any more
Now that Nvidia supports Freesync, many manufacturers make a good Freesync monitor instead

ashen spindle
#

ehh, while gsync modules cost more, nvidia in return tests the monitor quality, which is why from all the Free Synch options only 5% or so are recommended for gsynch from nvidia

#

exclusion process is what I did

#

first look at size, then resolution and refresh rate in order of whats more important to you

#

then go down the options

zenith sonnet
#

Same as @ashen spindle

#

The latest Aorus ticks almost every box
But the poor Overdrive made me cautious

#

Since it more or less breaks VRR

#

Also, not all of Freesync monitors that didn't make Nvidia's mark are worse then Gsync monitors
My Eizo FS2735 didn't get certified either

#

And it's among the best Freesync displays still, even after 3 years

#

Or 3 and a half now

latent mural
#

My lg ultrawide isn't certifed as well

#

Worked flawless though

zenith sonnet
#

The Eizo has 2 different Freesync modi
One high, one low, switchable through the OSD
I think that alone makes it not pass Nvidia's certification

latent mural
#

Well, you don't need the certification for it to work

#

I am sure the certifications cost quite a lot of money

pale sigil
#

My life is like the market

#

not stable

#

and changes on a daily basis

#

except market crashes happens more often

zenith sonnet
#

Lel

#

I don't need any certificates anyway

#

Freesync for life

latent mural
#

Yee

pale sigil
#

Gsync for life

latent mural
#

Nah

#

Fuck gsync

#

Freesync is even better now

#

Works with both

#

And doesn't cost like 100€ more

fallow bison
#

agree

ashen spindle
#

sure but only if the monitor specs you want come on a monitor that only has freesynch

latent mural
#

they usually do

#

even more likely

ashen spindle
#

maybe now, been almost 2 years since I got mine

zenith sonnet
#

My requirements: QHD or better, 120Hz+, 27-30", terrific display latency, Freesync, good Overdrive performance across the whole VRR range

#

HDR is a bonus

#

Freesync2 would be great, too

pale sigil
#

That’s tempting

zenith sonnet
#

I'll pay up to ~1k per unit if it hits all the marks

pale sigil
#

I mean the price in general -.-

#

Wait nvm

#

I want the k20 pro but it’s not in the uk yet

latent mural
#

the launch is next week

#

wednesday

pale sigil
#

Ye but it’s probably gonna be overpriced

#

i want a mi mix 4 when it's released :p

pale sigil
#

I wish I got this tbh

latent mural
#

no headphone jack is rip

#

otherwise it is pretty nice

#

except for the lack of decent cases

pale sigil
#

Hmm there’s a global version of k20

#

But lacking warranty

#

So guess that’s a hell not

latent mural
#

wait until wednesday at least

pale sigil
#

Oh I am

#

But I can gurentee it’s going to be £400

plush summit
#

No headphone jack isn't instant no from me

#

A notch is also an instant no

#

And certain other proprietary technologies are also an instant no like huawei's proprietary SD cards

pale sigil
#

Somehow we are using £858 electric before tax

#

16.580p per kWh

zenith sonnet
#

Why is it so cheap?

ashen spindle
#

because germany has some of the higher electricity costs

latent mural
#

We paid 600€ previously

#

because we had a long running contract

#

otherwise electricity in germany usually is pretty expensive

ashen spindle
#

which is why nobody mined crypto around here

zenith sonnet
#

I pay 3000-4000 🤔
But they're discontinuing the 'night time' plan...

latent mural
#

you still had that?

zenith sonnet
#

Which is like 15c per kWh

latent mural
#

and wow that is a lot

zenith sonnet
#

Instead of 34c

latent mural
#

what do you usually pay?

#

oof

zenith sonnet
#

I dunno the exact prices atm

latent mural
#

34c is a lot

zenith sonnet

Would have to look them up

Discord is the worst system ever made...except for all the other ones. Like Slack

pale sigil

Lies

#

It’s the most consumer friendly service out there

#

They don’t sell our data

#

Don’t ask for money

And purely rely on donations

#

No

#

The servers are shite

#

Cut them some slack (no pun intended)

#

They probably don’t even make a profit

reef patrol
#

Slack? Free? Wut 😄

pale sigil
#

Ye tbh their ToS is wack

ashen spindle
#

gotta clarify what you mean with that rooThink

#

I'm very confused

#

oh

#

maybe something to do with the higher audio quality that comes with server boosting

#

rooShrug dunno enough about linux to say anything about it aside from it most likely being the cause of discord not having unlimited devs to improve the experiences for the smallest userbase

timid chasm
#

You should make your own alternative to discord

ashen spindle
#

so?

#

I dont use linux aside from having it on my server so idk what that means

#

I get that part but I dont get what that means in the context

#

I'd guess because opengl is widely adopted in the same style but audio stuff isn't?

#

seems weird to me to hate it especially if you don't understand why they are the way they are vvThink

timid chasm
#

I mean it's just discord, damn

pale sigil
#

Speaking of shitty discord severs

#

Servers

#

Unlimited characters

#

Millions of users

#

Pick one

Screensharing works fine for me

Aka shitty upload

wheat plume

^^

pale sigil
#

You can also choose exactly what’s shared on your screen

wheat plume
#

hm??

pale sigil
#

When screen sharing

#

You can choose to stream exactly what you want

#

Yes it does

#

It

#

Worked

#

For me last time

#

I mean

#

You are using the least common used distros

#

Like arch is super common

#

But not a majority

#

It makes sense to focus on Ubuntu and Debian based distros

wheat plume
#

IDK if I can choose the app

#

and Yes , I use Manjaro

#

i could call and find out for you now

#

just a few seconds see if it works or not

#

oook

wheat plume
#

Elementary OS is very advanced in some ways and very limited in others THONK

#

You cna have different resolution AND refresh rate on each monitor

#

but you cant change the system theme -.-

#

GG

#

am I doing this right? I fudged up installing this on Manjaro so many times and I never could get it to work right

#

;-;

#

install virtualbox

#

wait, I have the rt kernel, so should I pick 12 instead?

#

I heard about that

#

it sounds complicated

pale sigil
#

Aye

#

You can use virtual machine manager

wheat plume
#

I know that is the VM that the Solus devs use, cause its always in their dev report screenshots

That works with Quemu

wheat plume

wheat plume
#

no JUST mobile data

#

just had mobile data for the past like 3 years

ashen spindle
#

Yea but how much data

wheat plume
#

unlimited for 28 days then I need to pay again

ashen spindle
#

Prob more than the 500mb package I have

wheat plume
#

500mb 😮

#

wtf

ashen spindle
#

Well the only time I use my phone not via WiFi is when our internet breaks lmao

hexed gyro
#

Makes me think, we should make a Wooting two with holes in bottom case

#

Improves performance by 100%

reef patrol
#

Moving the chat over here. It's Asetek, @hexed gyro . The company that makes AIO pumps for Corsair and others.

They are basically rebranded OEM parts with fancy decorations on them most of the time.

Asetek are local, and they didn't know what to do with their booth (the LAN had some booths for 3D printing, retro consoles, army recruitment and such) so we offered to help with our PCs. They also helped with parts for s few extra to fill out the booth.

Ironically all of the PC's ended up playing Fortnite to draw in the kids, while we spoke with parents about tech. These were pricy machines with 2080 and i7s feelsbadman monkaS

#

And yes. That's my lovely Wooting One with matching lighting to the PC bcaCoy2EvilPlans

@reef patrol Seen the O11 Dynamic XL yet?

reef patrol
#

I have. It's...big bcaMadAngry5

#

The regular one weighs enough as is with my loop, so I'll pass bcaCoolThumbs2

zenith sonnet
#

So, you don't think it's worth the extra?

#

Weight doesn't mean anything to me

reef patrol
#

I dont see the need personally. The regular one let me fit a massively thick 360mm radiator, a 240 and technically could fit another thin 360 at the bottom. 11 fans in total, four SSDs and two hard drives.

zenith sonnet
#

Well, that's all I need to fit, I guess

#

At which point does using 2 rads make sense?

reef patrol
#

Having more than one component to cool, or keeping noise levels down.

#

Both my 8700K and 2080 are in the loop, and both are overclocked. And having that much radiator real estate (aside from filling a pretty big and empty case and looking cool) let's me out down my fans to around 700-900RPM static, so it doesn't make a lot of sound even at full blow.

zenith sonnet
#

Hmm, I'll be running a 3900X (which, let's be honest, will never see more than 30% real life load), and an Radeon VII in the loop

the issue is, even something "simple" as that probably require retooling etc. which is very expensive

sonic badger
#

yeah true

ashen spindle
#

from time and money standpoint

sonic badger
#

Or find a PCB thats quieter lol idk if thats possible

#

the PCB itself is just loud

#

Yeah I just wanted to say that the PCB is the main noise creator. I had the pcb standalone and pressing the keys was still as loud

#

yeah I have no idea at that

#

didnt work for me

#

I tried so many things

#

and making the keys not touch the PCB was the best I found

#

but then The accuracy got down because the light didnt get the right path anymore

#

Wait I have an genius idea

#

Do you belive I can get a simular accuracy out of the lekker switch if I make it higher myself? What I tried on my current Wooting was putting this below the screwn which made them higher and silence the KB instantly

#

genius idea if the accuracy works better than on the current wooting

#

I play osu I think that explains everything

#

Why noise is important

#

But analog keys are the only useful to me

#

Yeah Ill wait till someone can test

#

I am german and I looked it up but thought its wrong translation

#

lol

#

I'll wait no matter how long it takes I need my perfect KB xD Already have perfect mouse, screen soon, tablet, table, pc so one of the only pieces left

#

G pro wireless

#

Had to replace it for double clicking issues twice though but now its working

latent mural
#

@wheat plume what pc is that?

wheat plume
latent mural
#

ohh

#

an alienware alpha

#

you can change the cpu iirc

plush summit
#

proprietary shit right there

latent mural
#

ye

#

socketed cpu

wheat plume
#

Ignore the dust

latent mural
wheat plume
#

You can change it??

latent mural
#

yea

#

my brother had one

wheat plume
#

Anyway to add an extra HDMI output??

latent mural
#

lemme ask him what cpu he put in

#

nope

wheat plume
#

;_;

latent mural
#

also no 3.5mm jack lol

plush summit
#

probably not a vary large upgrade though

latent mural
#

was quite the difference iirc

wheat plume
#

I use USB speakers anyway

#

yo

#

go on

#

yes

plush summit
#

^

latent mural
#

you can get them pretty cheap used lol

#

not that bad for a lan pc

plush summit
#

but why would you ever buy alienware

latent mural
#

or home media pc in the living room

wheat plume
#

I bought it cause it was small and cheap

latent mural
#

won't get to a similar size tbh

wheat plume
#

cause I needed to move it around a lot

latent mural
#

they are tiny

wheat plume
#

not anymore though

plush summit
#

so that gets rid of zotac

wheat plume
#

so I could get a full tower now

plush summit
#

thats not cheap

wheat plume
#

true

plush summit
#

you could get a haties canyon

latent mural
plush summit
#

i forget the name

wheat plume
#

o?

latent mural
#

for a lan pc they are fine

#

not that small

#

believe me

wheat plume
#

^^

plush summit
#

close to it though

latent mural
#

an itx board is already bigger

#

if you only care about portability

#

and can get one for 300-400 used

plush summit
#

you could shell out for a zotac system if u had money to burn and wanted something small

wheat plume
#

and it came with an xbox controller and usb reciever, I was happy with that cause carrying around my previous keyboard was a major hassle

latent mural
#

if you wanna spend a lot of money on it go hades canyon

#

the alpha isn't as expensive as you think

plush summit
#

@latent mural why not zotac

latent mural
#

hades canyon is better?

wheat plume
#

Yeah they are fairly cheap

#

mine was 750

#

i think

#

around 700-800

plush summit
#

haties canyon will get rect by a zotac system with higher specs

latent mural
#

well, true

plush summit
#

i mean

#

i hate nvidea

latent mural
#

but then you have a much bigger brick

ashen spindle
#

"system a gets rekt by system b if you have higher specs" oh really vvThink

latent mural
#

hades canyon is still extremely light and portable

plush summit
#

true...and less mony

#

way less money

latent mural
#

@ashen spindle valid argument in that case

plush summit
#

i dont remember

#

it sbeen a long time

#

still...vega graphics...going the nvidea route at that point os probably better

latent mural
#

at that size and power draw, maybe

plush summit
#

and with the current exploites getting released involving intel chips

latent mural
#

not very many comparable units though

plush summit
#

probbly get an amd cpu as well

latent mural
#

yo ucould maybe get a 1030/1050 in that

#

and hades canyon is OC ready

plush summit
#

@wheat plume listen to linus XD

#

hedid vods on both hades canyon and many zotac systems as u know

wheat plume
#

o?

latent mural
#

btw @wheat plume what gpu/cpu do you have atm

wheat plume
zenith sonnet
#

Wait, what's the issue?

#

I didn't getit

latent mural
#

you can get a i5 4590 without t in there and undervolt it

#

and change the heatpipe for a bigger one

wheat plume
#

hmmmmm I see

pale sigil
#

TIL apple charge for ringtones and notification sounds

plush summit
#

😂

#

Its free over here

pale sigil
#

I miss android so much

#

Brb why I commit IOS

plush summit
#

Why did u leave

pale sigil
#

I’m using my sisters spare phone till I get a new phone

#

And so I’m waiting for the k20 launch

#

Next week

#

Also night

#

Go to bed son

ashen spindle
#

you can use custom ringtones too rooThink

fallow bison

I have minecraft hurt.ogg as notification sound

reef patrol

best character in the game

wheat plume
#

It doesn't shows "..." Beside the 4g icon if there are notifications

#

It does show**

#

If I get a notification I'll show you

#

See

#

The ... On the right

#

It does if you want it to

#

True...

#

Is it easy to unlock the bootloader on that?

#

Not sure

#

OakOS interesting

#

Custom rom!!

#

Or root it

#

To try out newer Android versions or get stock Android

#

What you getting instead?

#

🤔

#

Hmmmmm

wheat plume
#

Hmmm

#

Idek ://

reef patrol
#

Nope.

#

It just cleans everything outside of the OS itself.

wheat plume
#

Ooo this is nice

pale sigil
#

Another thing I just learned

wheat plume
#

you can manage nitro on android now

pale sigil
#

Just like Spotify you can't get nitro without apple taking some of it

#

Sorry, had a call and didn't send the second part of the message xD

wheat plume
#

What is the difference between OTF and TTF for font files?

reef patrol
#

OTF is a more feature rich TTF basically.

wheat plume
#

hmm, so I should install that version instead of the TTF?

reef patrol
#

Sure.

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Finally sold my phone

wheat plume
#

huh?

pale sigil
#

Using an iPhone in the meantime ;-;, I'm waiting for k20 pro release

#

See the pricing

wheat plume
#

where tf is the spotify prefs file ;- I cant even find it

#

it is there.....wtf Spicetify

#

its a theme thingy for Spotify

pale sigil
#

Why would you theme Spotify

wheat plume
#

cause its ugly

pale sigil
#

Do you have Spotify maximised all the time?

wheat plume
#

no

reef patrol
#

My eyes.

wheat plume
#

I wanna use the google theme but idk how to

plush summit
#

Why

#

Why though

pale sigil
#

that is shady

wheat plume
#

"Thats they didnt pay for"

#

thats why

ashen spindle
#

"removing access to features they didn't pay for"

#

idk the issue here

wheat plume
#

^^

pale sigil
#

newly built ones fair enough

#

but current ones

wheat plume
#

if they didnt pay then remove it

pale sigil
#

hell no

plush summit
#

Current ones are unfair

ashen spindle
#

how is it unfair

#

they got something that was supposed to be in a higher tier only

#

so it gets fixed

wheat plume
#

Exactly

pale sigil
#

meh

#

mum wants to "modernise"

#

tv wise

#

but none of what she watches is on a service here

#

and i know she wont use kod

#

kodi

#

:

wheat plume
#

get her a basic smart TV so she can use youtube and still have her existing TV shows

pale sigil

she wants to ger rid of cable

wat

pale sigil
#

Read it

latent mural
#

yea

#

WR is 7710 mhz lol

#

if you meant that

pale sigil
#

this app is nice

pale sigil
#

i hate the new search

#

The new Xbox app is electron based and using 1gb ram xD

crimson wigeon
#

Electron comes from GitHub, Microsoft now owns GH so it makes kinda sense but also yeah as I said lol UWP is dead

pale sigil
#

Still can’t believe I’ve only used like £0.06

neat oriole
#

So guys I was gaming and then midway my computer crashes and turns off

#

It won’t boot

#

And under recovery it says error code 0xc0000225

#

I ran a disk check and system file check for my bootdrive and it says nothing is wrong

reef patrol
#

Time to reinstall Windows I guess.

neat oriole
#

But muh files

#

I blame OS X for leading me into a false sense of security

#

Over the last 9 years of Mac ownership not once has it crashed let alone corrupt itself

#

During that time I kept redundant backups

#

And then it never happened

#

Now I’m 2 years and 9 months into windows ownership and it just goes apeshit and I don’t have a backup to restore to

reef patrol
#

You uh... don't have to lose any files

#

You can just install Windows on top of itself. Just like how Macs do it.

#

Well almost like Macs do. But with a lot fewer restrictions 😄

pale sigil
#

When is the k20 pro launching in the uk again

#

12th

neat oriole
#

Are you sure? Don’t I have to reformat the entire boot drive?

crimson wigeon
#

Only if it's completely hosed

reef patrol
#

Windows will let you reinstall on top of an old installation, and simply move your user folders to the side.

#

I'd always suggest taking backups though 😄

neat oriole
#

Yeah I used to do backups

#

How do I reinstall on top of an old installation?

crimson wigeon
#

Just reinstall

#

Choose the same partition and all that

reef patrol
#

You make an install USB on another Windows PC, if you don't have one already

neat oriole
#

Yeah I have the iso file loaded on a USB drive

reef patrol
#

Nope.

neat oriole
#

As in I can boot from it

reef patrol
#

You gotta unpack it onto the USB. If you have an .iso file, move it back onto the PC and download Rufus.

crimson wigeon
#

Tehn yeah boot it up and go through the installation, just make sure you don't format anything

neat oriole
#

Ok I’ll try that when I wake up

#

It’s 5 am and I’ve been trying to fix the problem with console commands

#

I actually made mine off of a Mac

reef patrol
#

That is mostly to save time, if he already has the ISO

#

Otherwise the Creation Tool is the way to go I agree.

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah and with a modern UEFI system you can probably get away with just extracting all the files onto the drive

neat oriole
#

I just used boot camp assist to create a bootable windows USB flash drive

pale sigil
#

I just use windows creation took

reef patrol
#

Drive still needs to be formatted properly.

pale sigil
#

It's never let me down

neat oriole
#

I didn’t have another windows PC

#

Games

#

Before I got a windows pc I’d play some games on a windows boot camp

#

It kinda worked

#

But the power was lacking

#

I’ll try the install thing in like

#

7 hours

#

Hopefully I won’t have to redownload a bunch of stuff on my slow ass metered connection

crimson wigeon
#

You'll definitely have to...

neat oriole
#

That’s why I was trying to fix my boot loader

#

But it won’t let me

pale sigil

My iPad isn't happy

100% af 11:40

81% now

Pretty bad

Oof

pale sigil
#

Is it 10gb

sick creek
#

No

#

Ubiquit doesnt have 10gb appliances

#

I mean the sfp+ will do 10gbit

#

But like the router and switch dont support it afaik

pale sigil
#

Then boooo

pale sigil
#

I really wish apple didn't block steam share

#

Would love to play in bed

#

On my iPad

crimson wigeon
#

Wait what but they did put out the Link app recently on iOS

pale sigil
#

Welp

#

I'm happy now

#

Welp

#

I'm sad now

#

Not old I just prefer iOS 10

#

And don't wanna lose my jailbreak

#

Like since the first iPad Pro came out

#

iOS 10 basically

#

No

#

I considered a cheap android tablet just for steam link tbh

#

Using my phone was to small

#

I have a TV but I hate playing games on it

#

You mean lazy

#

And picky

#

And slightly annoying

#

I am a bit gutted tbh

#

Waited so long for steam link to come to iPad

sick creek
#

Is ios 12 jb not possible?

#

Since you havent upgraded

pale sigil
#

i just dont like ios 11 or 12

For anyone who didn’t watch live

#

The left one looks like a sick pc case

plush summit
#

I think it's shit

#

Like blower style cooler

#

What year is it again

ashen spindle
#

ngl blower style is the reason that once again the first reviews/cards will perform worse than they could be

plush summit
#

The card on the left looks like a developed a kink because somebody leaned on it a little bit too hard

#

But why have blower style in the first place

ashen spindle
#

cheaper

#

works fine if you dont care about noise at all

plush summit
#

They also stressed supposed to be quieter

#

Which is my other thing

ashen spindle
#

only air cooler design that works well with side mounted

plush summit
#

Quiet in a blower style card excuse me

latent mural
#

They work pretty well in some tiny cases

#

To move air out

latent mural
zenith sonnet
#

Need to watch this when I get home

#

Blower style works for cases with bad ventilation, where the other style doesn't work

#

So, it's not optimal under optimal conditions, but it works under the most conditions

#

Without suffocating the entire computer

#

Performance looks decent

#

That's nearly 2070 levels

#

If it works out that way

latent mural
#

tbh they can make a xt 5800

#

with a bigger die

#

I don't think they said anything about transistor count

#

nvm

#

10.3B

unique schooner
#

why is tap tunnling such aids

feral jolt
#

i feel like AMD hasnt revealed their final form

#

if the 5700xt competes with the 2070

#

then i expect a 5800 and 5900

latent mural
#

considering navi has a much smaller die size, yes

#

at least it isn't using HBM so it is somewhat affordable

zenith sonnet
#

I don't think we'll see a 5800 or 5900 this year

#

I'd expect a 6800 next year, though

#

5700 XT is already closer to the VII than expected

neat oriole
#

Can I get an F for my potentially dead GTX 1080 that’s only 2y9m old?

latent mural
#

considering they make a 50th anniversary edition I also think it is unlikely

#

rip

#

what happened?

zenith sonnet
#

Also, they'd have to give a 5800 XT 16 GiB of memory

#

And you'd basically end up with another VII

latent mural
#

would be a smart move to wait until GDDR6 prices drop

neat oriole
#

Here I was enjoying the brand new BDL2 Dlc and I crash hard. Screen goes black, artifacts appear, computer shuts off completely, error code 0xc0000225

zenith sonnet
#

Or HBM2 prices

neat oriole
#

Will not boot

#

Can’t repair bootfiles

latent mural
#

I don't think they'll remake the architecture for a different kind of vram

neat oriole
#

Resets my computer and it’s working again but very laggy

#

Runs dxdiag and says my GPU is deactivated error code 43

#

Which is usually a driver issue

#

Reinstalls driver and boom

#

Bricked again

zenith sonnet
#

Your PSU is fine, I guess?

neat oriole
#

Yeah everything is fine as long as I don’t install NVIDIA drivers

latent mural
#

rip

neat oriole
#

So yeah likely a dead GPU

latent mural
#

is it still in waranty?

#

manufacturer and region?

neat oriole
#

I doubt it but I’ve contacted gigabyte

latent mural
#

some give 3+ years

#

oof rip

neat oriole
#

Yeah it’s a big rip

#

Thankfully I don’t really need my computer for work right now and I can get by on my Mac

#

But still

latent mural
#

which card do you have

#

and which region

zenith sonnet
#

Well, just in time for Navi :3

latent mural
#

usa has 3 years btw

zenith sonnet
#

Did AMD say anything about CPUs?

latent mural
#

so not all hope is gone

#

ye

neat oriole
#

The basic blower style and I’m in Canada

latent mural
#

3400G will be soldered

neat oriole
#

So rip shipping prices at least

zenith sonnet
#

Soldered is good

#

But also no delidding

latent mural
#

and 16c 32t 3950 x will be 750 usd

zenith sonnet
#

Boost clock?

latent mural
#

as well as all other prices/clocks

zenith sonnet
#

Probably lower than 3900?

latent mural
#

3.5ghz/4.7ghz

neat oriole
#

I’m really hoping amd has something for high end graphics

latent mural
#

lower base higher boost

neat oriole
#

Something to take on the 2080/Ti

latent mural
#

so likely only 1 or 2 cores

zenith sonnet
#

VII is pretty good, and competes with the 2080

latent mural
#

unlikely that they'll release something new rn

#

VII or navi are slower than the 2080 ti

neat oriole
#

Yeah and I’m thinking about getting a 2080Ti next

latent mural
#

VII is in an especially weird situatuion now

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah, the 2080 Ti is too far out

neat oriole
#

I need to horsepower for my rendering

latent mural
#

tbh it is extremely overpriced

zenith sonnet
#

But price performance, it's just not worth it

latent mural
#

you can get something not that much slwoer for almost half price

neat oriole
#

Yeah but I really need the performance

zenith sonnet
#

I can get VIIs crossfire for a 2080 Ti

#

With near perfect scaling

neat oriole
#

How reliable is crossfire

zenith sonnet
#

And all the shit

latent mural
#

as much as sli

#

without the ripoff sli bridges

#

scaling depends heavily on the task though

zenith sonnet
#

Breddy good... when it works
But support isn't any better than for SLI, maybe slightly better

neat oriole
#

Idk I don’t want to run more than one card and I can’t really afford a Quadro 8000

latent mural
#

may become better with more implementation though

#

they could infinity fabric them

neat oriole
#

Yeah that’s what the Mac pros have

latent mural
#

ye

neat oriole
#

The Vega II Pro Duo

zenith sonnet
#

Crossfire is better than SLI purely from a technological standpoint

latent mural
#

well not anymore rly

#

since you can still quad crossfire

zenith sonnet
#

Both aren't used enough that software is properly optimised, though

#

Dunno how the VII compares in rendering tasks, but the 16 GiB HBM2 sure don't hurt

latent mural
#

it is more unlikely that it won't happen tbh

neat oriole
#

It’ll render slower than a 2080ti but it can handle bigger scenes

ashen spindle
#

I wonder if we see sli/crossfire improvements when gpus stop being monolithic designs, if they use similar tech it could benefit as a side effect

latent mural
#

the question is when

#

and it really depends on workload

#

Vega can destroy a 2080ti in some workloads

ashen spindle
#

The question is if intel will beat them first in gpus before they come back in CPU’s lul

latent mural
#

really depends on gmae though

#

BFV had some weird comparison numbers

#

where a 2070 would be slower than a vega 56 at some points

#

ye

#

it somewhat changed now

#

but it still favors amd

zenith sonnet
#

The better a game is optimised, the more they tend to favour AMD, too

#

Also wondering how BL3 will run

latent mural
#

to bad that games tend to be horribly optimized

zenith sonnet
#

BL2 is running like crap, still
