but even if... there is not a single 3090 in stock

reef patrol
#

Not sure if my 8700K or motherboard are haunted. Getting the boot either way ๐Ÿ˜›

fickle ore
#

Not me, I've already decided what to get, but its good idea to wait for benchmarks in general

ashen spindle
#

the ghost of skylake still lingers they say :p

hard thicket
#

well if you strickly plan to game, the choice ain't that difficult i'd say ๐Ÿ˜…

ashen spindle
#

Not me, I've already decided what to get, but its good idea to wait for benchmarks in general
@fickle ore so you are finally certain you wont wait for zen4? :p

hard thicket
#

for someone that does actual graphical work, i've to decide somewhat wisely

fickle ore
#

ye zen3 it is

hard thicket
#

zen 4 also means, new boards

#

and probably DDR5 aswell

ashen spindle
#

thats why he debated waiting, he still on ddr3 I think :p

hard thicket
#

Oh what

zenith sonnet
#

I'm going 5950X
And probabaly 6900XT

hard thicket
#

btw are there any info if theres gonna be a new TR lineup ?

#

using zen3 ?

ashen spindle
#

prob getting info on that next year

hard thicket
#

cant remember reading abbout that

zenith sonnet
#

Nope

vagrant marsh
#

TR?

zenith sonnet
#

There's no point

ashen spindle
#

maybe a teaser when they announce milan next month or so

hard thicket
#

hopefully

ashen spindle
#

but they wont be out before the server gets hands on zen3, margins too high there

hard thicket
#

32c/64t with single core performance of a 5900x yes please

#

one machine to rule them all

vagrant marsh
#

so....november 5th they release the cpu's. thats thursday. so i order thursday. then i get the cpu on friday, and i got the weekend to jam that thing on my motherboard

#

in a world where it would be in stock ๐Ÿฅฒ

hard thicket
#

show me that place please

vagrant marsh
#

rtx 3070 also got sold out within minutes

ashen spindle
#

Genesis peak is what you want to look out for btw, for zen3 TR

zenith sonnet
#

There's no point in making a Zen3 TR

#

The more cores you use, the less difference you see

ashen spindle
#

granted they could've changed it but I dont see why the codename changed

hard thicket
#

with the IPC improvments, the multithread performance still scales with

zenith sonnet
#

Not as much, particularly in power limited scenarios

hard thicket
#

a 5990x would make not much sense

#

agree there

#

but a 5650/5750x

ashen spindle
#

where is that coming from?

#

wouldn't make sense to offer less performance than last gen

#

amd aint intel rooKek

fickle ore
#

did u guys see that memory latency improvement of zen 3

ashen spindle
#

dont think so, unless you mean some sysmark bench result?

fickle ore
#

was like 5-10ns iirc

ashen spindle
#

uhhhh that seems extremely unlikely

#

the lower end at least

fickle ore
#

it was with 3800/18cl kit and it was like uhh 56ns?

#

or 58

#

forgot

#

I mean -5 to -10ns from zen 2

#

lol I cant talk

ashen spindle
#

ohhhh lol

#

I thought you meant 5-10 as the latency lmao

fickle ore
#

kek

#

wud be fun

zenith sonnet
#

I'm at 67ns with 3666 CL14-13-13

#

Granted, it's a 3700X

#

Would be ~61ns with a 3950X

fickle ore
#

if 5800x can get 48-50ns with 4000/15 kit that be gg

zenith sonnet
#

It's still only 1 chiplet, so it'll have a similar penalty

fickle ore
#

huh

#

what penalty

zenith sonnet
#

1 chiplet CPUs have half write performance and a few ns higher latency

fickle ore
#

that was in zen 2 due to 2ccx

zenith sonnet
#

It was 1 CCD vs 2 CCD CPUs

fickle ore
#

wasnt the reason for zen 2 having half the write performance because half the cache was on the 2nd ccx

#

shouldnt be case for zen 3

zenith sonnet
#

Waiiittt a sec

#

WAIIIIIITTTTT A SEC

#

If the 3090 is a 'Titan-class' GPU

#

Doesn't that mean it's a workstation card?

#

And the 6900 XT will be the most powerful consumer graphics card without doubt? thonk

zenith sonnet
#

Not for me

#

Just gives me a notify button

vagrant marsh
#

Yup

ashen spindle
zenith sonnet
#

It's more like AMD crunching through Nvidia's RTX

ashen spindle
#

ok just checked, tomb raider seems to be on DXR1.0 so not really much nvidia-specific code if any, at least we know AMD's RT does as expected in those cases, between turing and ampere

zenith sonnet
#

It's not like they had any AMD hardware to test this on when they made it
It's 100% geared toward working best on Turing

hard thicket
#

i assume thats the 6800 non XT ? right ?

zenith sonnet
#

Wait a sec

#

That guy pulled some numbers from different sources together?

ashen spindle
#

uhh xt I think

zenith sonnet
#

Some numbers from his Discord, some from a benchmark online?

hard thicket
#

it's not even close to the 3080

#

sure that its the no XT lol

#

that would be pretty bad

zenith sonnet
#

Those numbers are not comparable in any way

#

Different systems

hard thicket
#

atleast on 4K

pale sigil
#

hmm

#

interesting

hard thicket
#

oh

ashen spindle
#

this is with Raytracing, not general raster performance

pale sigil
#

my biggest thing for these benchmarks is pretty much with dlss it gets murdered

#

Oh

hard thicket
#

yeah but DLSS makes only sense when the game supports 2.0

#

SOTR doesnt use 2.0

#

as example

ashen spindle
#

dlss doesnt matter for this conversation, this is purely about how their RTRT performance is

zenith sonnet
#

Those 6800 numbers are with a 3500X ๐Ÿค”

#

Oh, and it says non-XT

#

For the 6800

cursive summit
#

That's the 3070 "killer"

#

Or competitor whatever you call it

#

And the RT perf looks quite awesome for the bottom SKU

#

Again RT doesn't matter for shit as a comparison feature for now

#

Barely enough games even utilize it properly to be even considered a "card defining feature"

#

DLSS is quite awesome, and AMD is countering that soon

#

But RT as it stands is just a marketing gag

crimson wigeon
#

But we'll see how AMDs solution stacks up

#

DLSS 1.x was considered awful by many

#

But I'm sure it'll probably be decent because consoles are likely going to want it

cursive summit
#

Consoles have it already

#

Think they will able to play the "gaming at 8K" natively? lul

crimson wigeon
#

Yes

cursive summit
#

Nope no way

#

AMD's calling their DLSS as "super resolution"

Cool name bud

@prisma comet @fickle ore So as I hope it was clear but I think a faster polling rate don't really make sense for buttons but it does for mouse movement. Yes even buttons can be handled faster but really who takes care if a mouse button takes 3 or 6 ms???

#

But I think it makes sense to better track mouse movement!

#

It is simple, your need debouncing (even called differently) to know if a mechanical key is pressed or not. You can get around with 3 pin switches and fancy logic but in the end it's still the same...

#

There is a delay, even it is a small one due to fancy fast logic, but there is one.

#

Yes, if your refresh rate is (much) lower than the polling rate the benefit is smaller but still present. It's a bit the same why a lot of people play with a much faster frame rate than their monitor can show. Even they can't see it!

#

Yes, most likely not everyone can benefit from a 300 Hz monitor compared to a 240 Hz one. Who the fuck even cares...
As last as only 0,1% are better with it it make sense!

#

Maybe you can't name it, maybe it's just subjective, as long as you can play better (maybe your flick rails or headshots are improved).

prisma comet
#

@fickle ore

  1. if everyone already did this, it wouldn't be talked about so much. also debounce delay is 5ms max, clicking for such a short duration is inhuman
  2. latency and variance is caused by the slowest link of the chain. if the slowest link is the software then optimising the mouse won't change anything except maybe cycle alignment (btw the biggest overheads in end-to-end latency are graphics pipeline buffering and monitor scanout, which are already way bigger than anything hardware related). besides, we're talking sub-millisecond optimization here. not even osu! can handle input that precise
  3. this is an interesting point. do you have a source for that ?
#

@golden girder

So as I hope it was clear but I think a faster polling rate don't really make sense for buttons
i completely agree

but it does for mouse movement
here i disagree. take a look at this: https://i.imgur.com/rg3eewX.png each white pixel is a position update from the mouse. I put my cursor in the bottom left corner and aimed for the X button of the window in the top right corner. mouse movement doesnt get much faster than that unless its something like a camera flick where aim isn't that important. now imagine inserting 7 more pixels in each gap. do you really think that's gonna make any difference ? most games can't even process 1000hz in full

Yes even buttons can be handled faster but really who takes care if a mouse button takes 3 or 6 ms???
ironically this particular example actually CAN make a difference, in rythm games for example

It is simple, your need debouncing (even called differently) to know if a mechanical key is pressed or not. You can get around with 3 pin switches and fancy logic but in the end it's still the same...
There is a delay, even it is a small one due to fancy fast logic, but there is one.
see point #1 from Dag and me

It's a bit the same why a lot of people play with a much faster frame rate than their monitor can show. Even they can't see it!
yes they can. monitor scanout is line by line (actually its pixel by pixel, but that's beside the point) so unless you use Vsync you CAN see it, and its not just because of cycle alignment

Yes, most likely not everyone can benefit from a 300 Hz monitor compared to a 240 Hz one. Who the fuck even cares...
under ideal circumstances scanout is the biggest factor for end-to-end latency, so if you're gonna optimize, it should exactly this first and foremost

cursive summit

What the fuck is this wall of text

#
prisma comet
#

its what you get when you discuss a complex topic

cursive summit
#

Price seems to be about ~500โ‚ฌ

fickle ore
#

@golden girder Faster polling rate is very important for clicks too. While higher polling rate for movement makes the your cursor appear where it should sooner (and more accurate), you also have to click there shoot. Even 5ms delay from button causes a few degrees of precision error, which is magnified by aiming speed/flicking speed

#

@golden girder there is a good video about the topic where in cs:go and aiming at 3-4m/s speed causes you to miss the opponent by 2-3x model hitbox width

#

it's not as big as say 1000hz vs 125hz, but it's nice to have.

reef patrol
#

I guess Rocky's point is... But can you actually tell the difference without looking at high speed footage Cat_blushingaaaaa

prisma comet
#

Slowest link in the chain after 144hz monitor is actually the mouse (if it has 5ms delay)
no its not. even in mainstream competitive titles graphics pipeline often adds 10+ ms

reef patrol
#

You say it's nice to have. But can you actually tell it's there? I'd say that's pretty central ๐Ÿ˜†

prisma comet
#

@fickle ore what is that smiley supposed to express ? (i am autistic and dont understand non-verbal communication)
@reef patrol being able to tell by perception actually isnt relevant. whats relevant is whether your aim performance opbjectively improves which can be evaluated statistically
@fickle ore frametime != pipeline delay

#

well obviously you dont

#

i am a software engineering student who did a lot of research on this topic. while i haven't finished my research yet, i can confidently tell you that frame time isnt the only thing causing latency

#

stfu, you didnt even read it

#

this is plain wrong and easy to prove, stop making a fool of yourself

reef patrol
#

@prisma comet That's actually what I meant. Does your "performance" improve because of a couple of miliseconds?

Not talking 60 to 144hz and such here. But the difference between something like 3-6ms ๐Ÿ™‚

prisma comet
#

@fickle ore i am not saying that because of my condition, i am saying this because im getting really tired of your shit

#

how do you even want to know that

reef patrol
#

Can't find a link to read the publication on that page. And they do seem to deal with much higher latency changes. ๐Ÿ™‚

prisma comet
#

of course smaller changes will make smaller differences

#

thank you, you wont be missed

reef patrol
#

This is where I point out everyone needs to stay civil.

timid chasm
#

doesn't what's his name on Battle nonsense go over all this already?

#

Chris/Kris

prisma comet
#

he does provide some very useful insights

#

especially how capping your fps can improve latency was very interesting

#

and its a great example of how frame time most certainly is not the main cause for latency

#

i am currently learning vulkan because i want to create a proof of concept application that shows how low you can get. with opengl i got down to 3ms so far

#

yes i know, that is exactly what i meant

#

a mouse with 5ms debouncing delay
yesterday you said that nearly everyone already implements debounce in a way that doesnt affect input latency. also we came from mouse movement were debounce doesnt even exist

#

and what does that have to do with debounce ?

#

how is this relevant to the topic at hand

#

yes we had that yesterday

#

why are you bringing this up again now

#

you're just repeating yourself

#

you already told me this yesterday

#

why are you telling me again now, when we were talking about latency in the graphics pipeline

#

and so you're not even going to try ? what kind of logic is that

#

this is not how critical discussion works

reef patrol

wdym? all i did since then was apologize to you

reef patrol

You apologising to me doesn't really have anything to do with the latency discussion ๐Ÿ˜„

cursive summit
#

It's a battle to the death in a Wooting server lul

#

Key point of advice when buying a mouse is

#

Look at the ergonomics over anything else

#

And the price of course

#

A comfortable cheap mouse is usually all you need

old marlin
#

@prisma comet dunno what dag was exactly on about

#

but assuming he was saying limiting fps to reduce input to image delay he probably was talking about g-sync

#

in which case you NEVER want to get an extra frame over max otherwise you entirely drop it and just double your next frame time

#

so instead you cap your fps ~5% below the hz of the monitor

#

and get more consistent frametimes

prisma comet
#

@old marlin consistency is very important indeed, definitely more than fps, and maybe even latency (to an extent).
improving latency by reducing fps is an example i myself brought up when someone mentioned a youtuber, and it has nothing to do with gsync, but with buffering in the graphics pipeline. when the gpu is under full load, the cpu piles up draw calls until the buffer is full and keeps refilling it immediately as soon as the gpu finishes an instruction, causing them to age before they even reach the gpu.

our main topic was actually whether or not it makes sense to run a mouse at 8000hz, and what got me annoyed about him is the fact that on multiple occsasions he just wrote stuff like "all your points are wrong" without explaining anything at all

old marlin
#

I mean by how you argue it isn't weird to me how he reacted

#

improving latency by reducing fps is an example i myself brought up when someone mentioned a youtuber, and it has nothing to do with gsync is just plain wrong

#

gsync also is a big part of the reason why you should do it

prisma comet
#

g-sync is an improvement when you compare it to v-sync, but no-sync is still fastest

#

the buffer fill problem also happens no-sync

urban lynx
#

... i can never take "g-sync" serious as a technical term. and i hate myself for that

prisma comet
#

why not ?

ashen spindle
#

oh don't worry, I'm failry certain nvidia did that on purpose

old marlin
#

the buffer fill problem is a g-sync specific problem

ashen spindle
#

just like the 16 series and GFE come from the same jokes

prisma comet
#

@old marlin how so ?

old marlin
#

it happens with the g-sync module in a monitor

urban lynx
#

lets just say, i think of other things hearing gsync GWvictoriaMeguFace

old marlin
#

it just ignores a new frame if it hasn't displayed the most recent one

prisma comet
#

oh, maybe we're talking about 2 completely different things

old marlin
#

probably

#

but you just outright said that I was wrong

#

similar to dag

prisma comet
#

well you were referring to a topic that i brought up, and in that context the statement WAS wrong. it may be true in another context

#

also unlike dag i didnt just say "you are wrong", instead i tried explaining my point

reef patrol
#

Oh my god - This is still going.

ashen spindle
#

it's an interesting and quite complex topic, I dont see why you think it's over after a couple points xD

urban lynx
#

everyone is wrong.
only true is that i am still in bed.

reef patrol
#

The heated argument has been going on all morning.

ashen spindle
#

gloryShrug I've read most of it and thought it was quite tame

prisma comet
#

to be fair i did tell dag to stfu after he refused to be constructive

reef patrol
#

As I see it you're both at fault for attacking each other and not the argument xD

prisma comet
#

how am i supposed to attack the argument when he doesn't provide one ?

reef patrol
#

Well it definitely isn't an excuse to attack HIM ๐Ÿ˜„

#

If he can't offer arguments...just... end it there.

prisma comet
#

i really dont like the idea of leaving "all your points are wrong" uncommented at the end, and also i wouldnt consider please either start being constructive or stfu a personal attack (except for the implied you are not being constructive, but that should be fair game)

#

thing is, the last time he did that i replied with can you elaborate? that statement alone isn't very helpful to which he replied (now deleted): no, sorry. you have to do the research for yourself and i really didn't want to have that again

fickle ore
#

You are free to call me not being constructive as much as you want, I don't mind that. But you telling me to stfu on multiple occasions and calling me making a fool of myself is pretty hostile, which is why I dropped the conversation. Also referencing my deleted posts or pasts conversations in a public channel is not nice. Some of it are deleted for reasons (less drama and even seeing myself that I were pretty unconstructive) and some because cba

#

Now just leave it, all is fine

#

On the reason why to not use PS/2 and me telling you to research again.. Yeah in hindsight should've just stayed quiet, but wanted to tell you there is more to it.. But wasn't ready to devote time to write multiple paragraphs as to the why. Because I think we get that exact question like once a week and I've already answered it like 3 times already in this discord aswell..

cursive summit
#

Yeaah Pleasant's going to lose his/her temper with you lot GWseremePeepoF

fickle ore
#

As for why not PS/2 for mouse movement: PS/2 is capped at 250hz (4ms intervals) which is hit pretty early at low moving speeds. The protocol on modern boards isn't good either as it goes to SUPERIO chip first, then chipset then DMI then CPU so there are lots of hops and possibly goes through pci briges which all add additional latency. Modern boards might not even do interrupt anymore, PS/2 might be polled. For keyboards... If PS/2 is indeed interrupt based still, the packets are much smaller than usb packets and take longer to send. 1 packet usually contains 1 key, and in some cases 1 key needs 2 packets. Each key event takes like 1ms to send (actuation and release) so USB FS might be faster due to being 0-1ms and being direct link from peripheral <-> cpu atleast on Ryzen. USB HS is 8khz so 0.0625hz avg and 0.125ms max so definitely faster than PS/2.

what is the best keyboard

vast moss
#

That's a broad question, and especially due to its broadness, the answer is quite subjective. Since you're in a community server for a company that makes keyboards, I'm guessing the popular answer would be something from Wooting, but really, it's whatever works best for you that's the best keyboard. The smooth switches and PBT keycaps may be a draw to the Lekker Edition (or now the Hall Edition, since LE is sold out, even though HE uses ABS keycaps), but for many people it's just too big, so the best for them may be something smaller. Alternatively, if you like and can procure a 60% keyboard with really smooth switches, maybe that'd be, except some people can't go without some of the keys the 60%, so they wouldn't like it.
If you want help getting recommendations, info on what you like in a keyboard and how much each feature/detail matters would be very useful information. For example, maybe you don't care how smooth/scratchy the switches are as long as the board is a particular size, or keycap material doesn't matter but you think RGB backlighting is naught more than a gimmick.

vast moss
#

Also, keyboard discussion is best taken to #archived_keebs_talk, so if you want further guidance, it'd probably be more welcome there

you can get a gpu and put it in your current system, see if you then even want to upgrade still

pale sigil

@Quintosh im dead set on a new build regardless, its just I'd rather not make a new system and have to wait for the new GPU and in the meantime use my 1070ti.

ashen spindle
#

yes

#

I got my 8600k a couple days after launch and the only thing being harder to get so far has been the 10900k mostly

#

bc intel can just barely make any chips for that

pale sigil
#

I mean

ashen spindle
#

then you are probably not aiming for the 5950x

#

so you are not even going for the best binned chip, so that issue wont be there

pale sigil

#

one of the like 3 boards that came out much later

fickle ore
#

tru but even that october 2020 roundup missing it

ashen spindle
#

might have been out of stock or too high price there? idk

#

but yeah, I'll probably make a list myself end of next week so I just need to see what gpu to add after that

fickle ore
#

ah

#

Im just buying all now I guess

#

except graphics card and ssd? I guess

ashen spindle
#

then again maybe I should get it all before the gpu bc more people will buy stuff there, guess I will do make my list this weekend then

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle ye i think its better to buy now with educated guessing

#

bcoz when you see reviews in couple days for e.g ram might dry up.. idk how much high bin b-die there is left

ashen spindle
#

well I'm definitely not buying on launch day, I'm still fine on my 8600k

#

I need a new gpu, but cpu upgrade is more for the extra little bit + better work performance

#

and that I then maybe if I find time can reuse my previos system as a server or smth

old marlin
crisp granite
#

bruh

#

that's on par with what I get

#

but I get my ass reamed on price too

#

what do you pay for that?

old marlin
#

100Mbit

reef patrol
#

I pay 45โ‚ฌ a month for 500/500

old marlin
#

ah

#

well

#

it is included in my rent

cursive summit
#

@reef patrol 600/200 15 euros ๐Ÿ˜›

reef patrol
#

Our fiber still isn't super cheap. I'd still want syncronous speeds though ๐Ÿ˜„

cursive summit
#

But I have seen more impressive offerings in Romania

#

1000/1000 for 10 euros I think?

reef patrol
#

Neat.

#

Sweden is where the cheap speeds are at in my region. At least in cities.

#

I can get 1000/1000 for not a lot more. BUT - I need to pay 150 bucks or so for better cables and a technician to come out and do it.

cursive summit
#

As a one time payment that doesn't sound too bad of a deal eh? ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Unless your residence is far from permanent || current speed is enough

reef patrol
#

I also need to pay a higher monthly fee of course ๐Ÿ˜„

reef tundra
#

In romania you do need to tap into the internet yourself from the pole

at least in cluj-napoca

Kill x86 then, so it dead now, and quinty joins ARM gang

ashen spindle
#

you only care about arm because apple started using it

#

you dont even know what the difference is

shadow minnow
#

ARM could really be better for notebooks. Not sure if it can beat desktop CPUs though. But heard some great things about arm MacBooks from reliable leakers

#

you dont even know what the difference is
@ashen spindle I do. I am apple fan, but also tech enthusiast, so I do ๐Ÿ˜„

ashen spindle
#

mhm sure

reef tundra
#

what are the RISC principles?

shadow minnow
#

I mean, really. If I did not know much about tech I probably would not spend so much time on tech discords daily. Idk why you think I do not know anything about arm. I just think it can be better for notebooks, and not sure about desktops though..

reef tundra
#

Acorn Risc Machine was the original meaning btw.

#

How would it be better for notebooks and not desktops?

shadow minnow
#

I mean, itโ€™s main advantage is power efficiency

reef tundra
#

its main advantage is much lower instruction count

shadow minnow
#

That also is one of main advantages.
So it probably will take some time to see arm in high end

should I have an install of steam with the games on the drive or just the games?

ease of use

crimson wigeon

Then go with just the games

Of course

@zenith sonnet I wish I could get aorus master for 250-300.. Its 400โ‚ฌ here

if I enter my credit card as a payment method in amazon, and I purchase from amazon marketplace, does the 3rd party seller see my credit card info?

ashen spindle

hi stupid af rooHi

god no

fickle ore

email?

ashen spindle

uhh I don't think so, maybe if they sell it over amazon but not through them, gotta check faq there but I think not on default

SlackBot is neat :D tells me when someone or myself comits stuff to the azure repo

Dont even get notifications for that

ashen spindle

yes the joke was it's the same thing just in form of a bot message instead of an email

wheat plume

ye

#

i know

tender sparrow

It's more convenient

Especially if you run a bot server

ashen spindle

yes but it's nothing magical or new or anything xD

wheat plume

I never said it was xd

just new to me by using this for the first time

Been using it for a while, but both me and the lead dev are too busy with life to actually update the bot anymore

I know, im just cynical bc what else should I comment there

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle just ordered patriot vipers 4400/c19 bin for 129โ‚ฌ from amazon, free shipping promo :))

ashen spindle
#

sounds like you got scammed, shipping is basically almost free above 20$

fickle ore
#

you are clearly not versed in european pricing

ashen spindle
#

I mean I dont remember the last time I paid for shipping

fickle ore
#

to finland

#

there is never free shipping

ashen spindle
#

ah, not in-country shipping ok, assumed regional amazon

fickle ore
#

there is no regional amazon, closest uk or de

ashen spindle
#

huh thats unexpected

#

well in that case it sounds like a decent deal, should be doing well at whatever timings zen3 works best at

fickle ore
#

Yupp! There were some german shops pricing them at 115โ‚ฌ but included shipping (28euro) ๐Ÿ˜„

#

also only like less than 5 at stock so I expect those bins to sell out

pacman

wheat plume

I'm depressed .-.
I have to use Ubuntu

#

Until the next nvidia drivers come out to support kernel 5.9

#

Then back to arch

reef tundra
#

why?

wheat plume
#

Cause nvidia drivers + 5.9 = no work

#

Nvidia said their update sometime "mid November" will fix it

reef tundra
#

then tell pacman to ignore the drives/kernel

wheat plume
#

I didn't know that before the update

#

I saw the article after it broke

#

Looking up what happened

reef tundra
#

thats why you backup before you bork it

wheat plume
#

I have a single 255gb ssd for Linux
I can't back up

reef tundra
#

or have a second kernel waiting for action

#

lol

#

cant you chroot into it and downgrade the kernel/driver?

wheat plume
#

I tried reinstalling the os
No good

It installs updated during the os install so when I rebooted it was already in 5.9

#

cant you chroot into it and downgrade the kernel/driver?
@reef tundra downgrading kernel borked the drivers and I ended up with nouveau

reef tundra
#

then downgrade them both?

wheat plume
#

I did

I even tried purging the drivers
Then installing them again

#

Once the kernel had been downgraded

reef tundra
#

that is one weird problem

wheat plume
#

Yeh :/

#

I should sell my NVIDIA card

reef tundra
#

amd time

wheat plume
#

Get AMD

its even a better deal for next gen

Full AMD build

The Ryzen 5 and AMD GPU

reef tundra

im just lazy with updatin so still running the 5.8.14 kernel

wheat plume

May as well

That's what ubuntu is running too in 20.10

That is why an lazy programmer is a good programmer

fml my brother asked me if I can put a custom rom on his nvidia shield

how tf are android modding people so bad at documenting shit

ashen spindle
#

@fickle ore it seems like the IF on zen3 is exactly the same, no clock or latency changes

old marlin
#

tutorials are consisting of "just install it 4head"

chrome estuary
#

I mean... Flash TWRP

old marlin
#

yea

chrome estuary
#

Install through twrp

old marlin
#

where tf do I put the TWRP image

chrome estuary
#

Good fuckin luck boyo

old marlin
#

(Put the file into the ADB+Fastboot Folder)

#

ah yes

chrome estuary
#

IDK shit about the shield

old marlin
#

my favourite path

#

where tf is that

chrome estuary
#

Oh well uh

#

Download adb and fastboot

old marlin
#

I have adb installed

#

I have no such folder

#

I have an adb folder

chrome estuary
#

Uh

old marlin
#

I Put it in there

chrome estuary
#

Make one

old marlin
#

makes no difference

#

how tf would the program know where it is?

chrome estuary
#

Send me the guide or whatever you're using

old marlin
#

best one I have found so far

#

the other ones were "install it"

#

even the official one was like that

chrome estuary
#

Uh just open adb in a folder containing the img file?

old marlin
#

I did that

#

didn't help

#

very descriptive

chrome estuary
#

See I've never done shit like this with a device other than samsung which just uses Odin

#

Sure Odin is a flaming piece of shit

#

But it... Sometimes works kindly

old marlin
#

I have only done it on a nexus

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle no substrate changes for better signal integrity?

old marlin
#

it is a single click on that

ashen spindle
#

seems to be as if its just zen2 die with chiplets swapped for zen3

old marlin
#

oh okay

#

they just used powershell cause they thought it was fancy

#

doesn't fucking work though

#

cmd was the answer

ashen spindle
#

now granted, it's a sample size of 1 chip so far, but it's realitvely unlikely that is stuck on zen2 values and the others arent

chrome estuary
#

Oh my God I didn't even fucking notice that you were in PS

old marlin
#

same people that join betas for the sake of using the newest version

chrome estuary
#

I wish nvidia would've made an updated tablet with the X1 chip

fickle ore
#

@ashen spindle he just got a bad piece. doubt they would market 4000 as what 3800 were for zen 2, atleast thats what I want to believe

#

but its fine either way

#

that vid is also about 5600x so maybe only 5800x/5900/5950 bins that hit there

ashen spindle
#

could be, but that shouldn't change anything about IO die and its connection

fickle ore
#

2 more days to go ๐Ÿ™‚

ashen spindle
#

now ofc it could be he got an early production sample that is a bit lower, but I wouldn't be surprised if we only see handfull of 2000 clocks at all

fickle ore
#

yeah 2000 gonna be rare on 5600x feels like

ashen spindle
#

maybe a 2 chiplet config is better here for some weird reason

#

could be, no clue, that is way too low level for me to guess lol

fickle ore
#

idk if they bin IO-dies to already better binned cpu's before creating the chips

#

maybe

ashen spindle
#

for 100mzh differences? sounds like a waste of money tbh

fickle ore
#

shrug ๐Ÿ˜›

@chrome estuary I went from having the wrong device id to having the wrong zip format

God damn dude

yea idfk

still getting error 7

GREAT

ashen spindle

sounds like you're having a fun day gloryKeK

old marlin
#

a very fun day

#

because none of those fucks are able to document how and why something happens

#

everything can have 7 billion causes

#

but essentially it is always user error

#

because the "zip is invalid"

#

even though it works as intended in any other case

#

yea from all I know it has to be a corrupted file now

#

which can't really be possible since I tried 2 different downloads

#

I should also mention that the tool they use in a tutorial to remove parts of a script that can throw rthe code is some app based bullshit

crimson wigeon
#

Any text editor will do

old marlin
#

yea i know

crimson wigeon
#

Preferably one on your PC

old marlin
#

too bad that I can't use any text editor

#

cause my zip file gets invalid

#

I used notepad since I can use that without unzipping

#

didn't help though

#

still get the same error

crimson wigeon
#

Interesting, can't help you further since I haven't done any of this stuff in a while!

shadow minnow
#

I need help with C++.
I have never done anything in C++ before
And now I want to make simple app to set monitor brightness based on ambient light in room.
I can connect Ambient light sensor to arduino, and write readings as one number to serial port.
I however have no idea how to read arduino serial port, and set brightness.
If I knew these two things I would probably be able to set up all the calculations.... myself, but no idea how to do these two things, tutorials not helping.

ashen spindle
#

that doesn't sounds like something you need to use c++ for, surely you can use something easier to access the interface/api of the arduino?

shadow minnow
#

I do not need to do much with arduino, just read the serial port. The bigger problem is setting brightness..
I could maybe try sth in arduino app, but serial port should be able to be accessed even from C++, and I want to make it standalone app so it boots up every time I turn on pc.

cursive summit

Rip Userbenchmark

#

HAH

I do not need to do much with arduino, just read the serial port. The bigger problem is setting brightness..

@shadow minnow ok but you don't need to learn c++ if you just want to change some setting

reef tundra
#

c (and c++) can read serialports in linux by filehandling(file.h) and the device file in /dev.
never done it in windows however it most likely uses the com ports and win32.
The baudrate(bits/seconds), start bits, stopbits, parity should match with eachother.

old marlin
#

I feel like i have tried any possibility

halcyon moss
#

shield tablet? i have one!

shadow minnow
#

So how to make app to do what I want, in what programming language? @ashen spindle

reef tundra
#

What os are you running, or what os does the application run on?

ashen spindle
#

idk what you already know or want to do, but python, batch or something along those lines seems much more reasonable for something this small

old marlin
#

guess wtf it was

ashen spindle
#

forgot a space?

old marlin
#

no

#

the newest and latest fucking TWRP version was faulty

#

and they never cared to fix it

#

or just delete it entirely

ashen spindle
#

lmao

shadow minnow
#

What os are you running, or what os does the application run on?
@reef tundra planning to do it for windows

reef tundra
ashen spindle
#

I just think its overkill to learn c++ if you just want to change some values via an arduino, unless you want to use the project to start learning c++

reef tundra
#

in linux it is much easier to read and write with serial devices

#

windows makes use of their api instead of files

ashen spindle
#

I mean you can use excel to talk to it, dont think it's that much harder on windows

shadow minnow
#

I just want to read one value on certain baud rate. Just one value every few ms though serial port.

ashen spindle
#

yeah if you are new to C languages just look up what other people use in terms of scripting and use that (pythong, JS, batch or whatever) should be easy to figure out

#

will save you a lot of troubleshooting of unrelated issues

reef tundra
#

you mean bash?

ashen spindle
#

uh yeah, hate that they sound so similar

#

though with some trickery batch might work too lmao

reef tundra

wheat plume

I have a validation method but its only activated on a button press

ashen spindle

I genuinely don't know how to reply sometimes, you need to read what you post and ask about, it is quite clear what it does and doesnt do

wheat plume
#

I figured it out

#

It was that

#

it not work

ashen spindle
#

..yes obviously?

#

I genuinely don't know how to reply sometimes, you need to read what you post

It's a valid password

ashen spindle

not according to what you posted

wheat plume

ashen spindle

yeah I dont see a number

wheat plume

I added number
No good still

then I guess something is wrong, again, idk what you expect, I can't mindread your code or assume whats going on from a picture that shows nothing

yeah one moment, ill send code

@ashen spindle btw msi x570 tomahawk stocked again at amazon sold by amazon at 185โ‚ฌ, everywhere else 225โ‚ฌ for me lol

just bought one

ashen spindle

lol nice

fickle ore

for 185โ‚ฌ cant go wrong lmao

ashen spindle
#

yeah definitely

fickle ore
#

it shows 4600 ram OC on the msi website so I'm guessing its daisy chain mobo

#

unify-x shows 5100 ram OC.. does that mean better signal integrity for the pcb?

ashen spindle
#

I think the unify only has 2 ram slots

wheat plume
#

the text gets cut off

fickle ore
#

ah that could explain why, quintosh

anyway b550 unify is like 300โ‚ฌ ๐Ÿ˜„

old marlin
#

the unify x has 2 ram slots

#

the regular unify has 4

kk

#

that explains it

#

185โ‚ฌ for x570 tomahawk tho

halcyon moss
#

dont need more than 2 tbh

wheat plume

Tries to delete a form in not using anymore in my project

Run project, get errors, cant find that form because it thinks another form is calling it but its not

old marlin

the unify looks nice

fickle ore
#

not worth at 300โ‚ฌ

old marlin
#

yea

#

I'll probably buy a new desktop in late 21 or early 22

#

so I'll probably get a 6600 or whatever will be the best chip at that point

fickle ore
#

I ordered that board + 4400/cl19 kit

ashen spindle
#

at that point just get malder lake gloryKeK

old marlin

#

yeah im buying ryzen in 2030

#

:kekw

old marlin
#

maybe we will have 10nm intel by then dafoe

#

6600 as in ryzen 6600

ashen spindle
#

well malder lake is 10nm and slated for end of 21

old marlin
#

not i5 6600

ashen spindle
#

also I'm happy about how I just on the spot came up with Malder lake

#

it will probably be a fitting name

old marlin
#

well

#

slated is not actual release

fickle ore
#

you buying ryzen 5000 series quin?

ashen spindle
#

yeah, 58 or 59, not sure yet

fickle ore
#

and yama stop talking me over to waiting for 2022

old marlin
#

nah

fickle ore
#

I got i7 2600k

old marlin
#

I won't

fickle ore
#

xD

old marlin
#

my 9700k is still good

#

and at that point I will earn a lot more money

#

and can actually afford stuff

#

setting aside money for a good pc will be more a thing of 2-3 months instead of a year

ashen spindle
#

another reason im not buying on release, I'm waiting for all parts to be out so I can buy it via work to save some money, and I dont want to deal with having to explain multiple times what I want instead of just one time lol

ashen spindle

how come, just frustrated with them addressing stock issues?

reef patrol
#

Mhmm.

#

Already cancelled my waterblock earlier to be able to do a 14 day return in case the cards were late... but... so far under 50 cards shipped to date of the 3080 TUF I ordered. And just over 1000 ordered by customers.

ashen spindle
#

still that little? oof

reef patrol
#

They just received confirmation of a whopping 14 on top of the initial 30 on release day xD

ashen spindle
#

LOL

reef patrol
#

The OC variant got a few more - Because of course. Free upsell for them.

#

But I can't change the variant without losing my spot anyhow.

#

Probably gonna drain my PC and take out the 2080 and sell that while I can. And then just order stuff and deal with #noGPUlife till then xD

ashen spindle
#

.. want my 1080? only needs a slight undervolt to not crash during gaming lmao

reef patrol
#

I'll give you a lemon for it.

ashen spindle
#

2 and some sugar

reef patrol
#

...you drive a hard bargain.

ashen spindle
#

but free shipping then

reef patrol
#

Good thing I don't share accounts with the missus. It's about 1900โ‚ฌ in total (before selling things to cover costs) in total for the entire upgrade.

ashen spindle
#

I think it might just be temperatures and thus the voltage only causing it indirectly tbh

reef patrol
#

Could be.

#

The 1000 series had some weird ass bugs ๐Ÿ˜„

ashen spindle
#

it only started few weeks ago

#

so it could just be dried up paste maybe

reef patrol
#

I have a 670 that would run WoW at low settings without issues, but anything more demanding would crash it fast.

#

It's been used a few times as an emergency card xD

ashen spindle
#

I think when I get the new rig I'll take a look at it, don't want to take it apart as I dont have paste or anything here

#

worst case I'll have to sell it at a lower price

#

don't plan to let it die on me and be junk lmao

Maybe

#

disable the cpu for extra hours

wheat plume
#

At least System76 disabled that backdoor shit in the CPU

#

but why not go for AMD? blobhyperthinkfast

reef tundra
#

because i am not an amd idiot, forced laugh

ashen spindle
#

why should they go for amd there

Godfall needs 12GB memory for 4K gameplay with UltraHD textures Keith Lee the CEO of Counterplay Games, a game developing company that will soon release Godfall, took part in AMD partner videos where he explains the graphics features that were added to the game with the Radeon...

linux laptop good and any other laptop not good

wheat plume
#

How much VRAM you need if you dont play that game in 4k Ultra details?

zenith sonnet
#

Probably ~7 for the setting below Ultra

#

AMD could kick Nvidia in the dick so hard if they get devs to make their games need >10 GiB for Ultra textures
But that's just gonna make people spend money on more expensive Nvidia cards with more memory

ashen spindle
#

you gotta be a bit more specific

#

hard to say "what do you need on all settings except this one"

#

would assume if a 1060 is enough for minimum specs, then 6gb is enough

#

uhmm. my rtx 2070 does 65 fps at 1440p in borderlands 3. which suckish cpu did they use?

#

also, why borderlands 3 nvidia? you know bl3 favors amd

ashen spindle
#

Are you sure that graph is also 1440p?

vagrant marsh
#

no, this is

#

wait...

#

4k. nevermind

#

i thought the graph was about rtx and they just put borderlands 3 beneath it as comparisment i already found it a weird graph

#

no wait

#

it does say its at 1440p high presets

#

so....i repeat. my 2070 does 65 fps XD not...50 like it shows

ashen spindle
#

Probably not at the setting in whatever area they tested it at

pale sigil
#

Quin

#

Decided im gonna get the cpu regardless (5800x)

#

And try and get a 6800xt

ashen spindle
#

gloryShrug if you canโ€™t wait sure go ahead

reef patrol
#

Same as Callum ๐Ÿ˜„

pale sigil
#

i mean

#

why wait

vagrant marsh
#

dude

#

atleast go for a 5900x ๐Ÿ˜›

crimson wigeon
#

Why not 5950x

vagrant marsh
#

i would agree to go for the 6800xt. the 6900xt is like the 3090, no real reason to go for that one

reef patrol
#

I game. Lot of added money for... nothing ๐Ÿ˜„

pale sigil
#

Why woul i get a 5950x

vagrant marsh
#

5950 is indeed too much.

#

but 5900.

crimson wigeon
#

You can never have too much

vagrant marsh
#

thats a conversation for general ๐Ÿ˜›

ashen spindle
#

why wait? because unlike a steam game you can't as easily refund it withing 2 hours if something isnt working

#

and your current pc works

vagrant marsh
#

still, costs dont have to be as high as you think, since you can resell your old hardware

#

if they are worth reselling :p

#

i got a 3600, which can easily be sold. but i guess not for the 190 bucks i bought it for

ashen spindle
#

yeah or you just wait A DAY and take a look at options/reviews etc.

cursive summit
#

I mean Ryzen CPU reviews should come out tomorrow

#

Though tbh they are unnecessary

#

Which is a weird thing to say

#

Ryzen 5000 will kick ass

#

No question about it

ashen spindle
#

tomorrow? thought its on launch so in 2 days

cursive summit
#

I'm speculating but it makes sense to release reviews day before launch

ashen spindle
#

no?

#

as a company you want to sell your product so if on release only your slides are known, you can dictate what people know

cursive summit
#

Sure but usually afaik reviews come a day early

ashen spindle
#

not really, nvidia likes to split up the reviews so they get double coverage and can also show their performance so they can directly sell the stuff and ignore AiBs since they can make the reviews on them be nda'd till launch

cursive summit
#

Although looking at YouTube, RX 5700 reviews launched with the cards

#

Same with Ryzen 3000

#

So 2 days it is then

reef tundra
#

Ryzen

cursive summit
#

Unless someone releases early

pale sigil
#

@ashen spindle ye you're right

pale sigil
#

"Claim ยฃ27 cashback and a ยฃ19 Steam card when you buy this produc"

#

what bizare numbers

zenith sonnet
#

I'm gonna get a 5950X because I wanted a 3950X to begin with

#

But luckily didn't manage to get one after launch

pale sigil
#

WOW

#

Curry's PC World actually sells proper hardware

#

finally

#

hmm i am also considering a 5600x

ashen spindle
#

probably the right choice for you

pale sigil
#

lik

#

the price difference is pretty major

#

also

#

thats so retarded

#

you dfont get far cry 6 with the 5600x

#

was hoping to recoup

#

get some money back

ashen spindle
#

is it even something you would play lmao

pale sigil
#

i was implying id sell the key

#

to get some money back

#

i wish benchmarks came out the day before

ashen spindle
#

thats why you just wait a day

pale sigil
#

i dont trust there not to be stock issues

#

D:

ashen spindle
#

every cpu launch has had stock issues

pale sigil
#

tbf i could return the cpu 14 days after

ashen spindle
#

but it's not like its gigantic dies like for the gpu market

pale sigil
#

it is for me because if i get a gpu first

#

and cpu later i simplly will not use the gpu

#

till i get the rest of my build

ashen spindle
#

and if you get cpu first you'll use your current gpu or what

#

doesnt make sense if you only do it one way but not the other

pale sigil
#

well no because its everything im replacing

#

EVERYTHING

ashen spindle
#

idk, for games I argue preordering is fine bc you can can pre load and refund it very easily

#

but here it make no sense, if there is some issue (not even in a bad sense, could be a different product just makes more sense for you) it is such a bigger hassle to return etc.

pale sigil
#

i mean

#

like i said i could return it

ashen spindle
#

or just wait a bit and maybe still get it shipped on the same day ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

pale sigil
#

well

#

tbf

#

its supposed ot be sold 3pm here

#

are the reviews going up the moment pre orders go up?

ashen spindle
#

probably

pale sigil
ashen spindle
#

@fickle ore you alraedy got your ram but might still be interresting to see how he gets the 5.1 sticks to run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kG-UAX7KyM

fickle ore
#

prob costs 500$

#

:D:D

ashen spindle
#

think its not a thing they are selling

pale sigil
#

I hate my head

#

Idk what I want to do

#

I know from a logical point of view Iโ€™m being retarded

#

But I really want to make a new build vs just upgrade my gpu and ram

ashen spindle
#

yes, you will still get a new cpu before you can get a gpu

#

cpus are smaller, have bigger margin, are made since longer

#

there is so much more stock

#

also when I say wait a day I mostly mean wait for reviews on launch day

#

most likely if you watch when they drop most stores will be overloaded anyway and you cant order for a bit

pale sigil
#

Well

#

Scan confirmed 2pm

#

Overclockers 5pm

#

So hopefully reviews go up before than

#

It at 2

ashen spindle
#

uh, then one of them cant do math and looked at the wrong timezone

#

I doubt they delay it by 3 hours for themselves lmao

pale sigil
#

@ashen spindle both are confirmed

ashen spindle
#

uhhh we'll see I guess

#

doubt it though

#

or maybe trump will get mad after results tomorrow and suddenly ban amd from selling outside NA rooKek

crisp granite
#

bruh

#

that means more stock for me to snag one

#

but that won't happen

#

if launch day is within a few weeks, there should be some stock built up in the EU

pale sigil
#

@ashen spindle it was literally confirmed and advertised by them lol

reef patrol
#

Oh boye! New case arrived.

cursive summit
#

For someone looking for a new good display

#

This looks ridiculously good

reef patrol
#

Hrm... So the NDA on Ryzen 5000 ends... at the same time as everyone can buy them. Thanks AMD ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

cursive summit
#

Typical Nvidia practices ๐Ÿ˜„

ashen spindle
#

amd intel nvidia, usuall all do this

reef patrol
#

Naw. You usually have a couple of hours at least.

ashen spindle
#

not for cpus as far as I can remember, only from nvidia so they get free double coverage for FE/AiB models

#

but honestly, people only care about it because of the ampere shortage

reef patrol
#

I mean it's been a while since CPUs dropped last, but I do remember that generally there's always a couple of hours of headstart before sales begin.

So I can skim Youtube reviews and see what I want xD

ashen spindle
#

otherwise nobody would be worried about stock

reef patrol
#

Ah well... Guess I'll just have to speedskim tomorrow xD

#

Not going to spend money on the 5800 if the 5600 gets the same performance in games.

#

Overclocked that is.

ashen spindle
#

for pure gaming I'm pretty sure the 600 is the way to go

#

price/perf you are 100% not getting 150$ worth more fps lol

fickle ore
#

That's a stupid way to look at it imo. While 5800x won't perform better than 5600x for some reviewed games, the is difference for games that can utilize 8 cores and or realworld scenario with browser/discord/stream on, it will show a difference. Reviews are always without extra software you'd normally use

ashen spindle
#

for pure gaming

fickle ore
#

Do you plan to get a 8khz mouse at some point? That will make a difference for that too.

reef patrol
#

It's not like Discord and Youtube eats up to entire cores ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Used to be a lot more relevant when we were lucky to have two cores.

fickle ore
#

Pure gaming is stupid way to look at it too imo

#

coz there will be those games that use 8 cores/16 threads

#

Question is will you play those games or lucky enough to play 6 cores max? And what about 2-5 years into the future?

#

I get stuttering on a 8T system in games which is alleviated by closing youtube video on firefox, for example Overwatch drops from 250 fps to 150fps

#

My friend on a 6700k (6/12) gets around 300+ fps which drops alot with discord/firefox youtube video open in the background

reef patrol
#

Maybe close a few tabs

fickle ore
#

only 1 tab

reef patrol
#

But yeah - It's not irrelevant. Just LESS relevant these days

fickle ore
#

just youtube

#

We have benchmarked this quite often

ashen spindle
#

try disabling hardware accelleration if it eats that much

halcyon moss
#

i had drops in frames because a page in firefox was auto refreshing...

fickle ore
#

Ya thats a good point Quintosh

ashen spindle
#

my 8600k hasn't really shown issue with having my 150+ chrome tabs open or not when gaming

halcyon moss
#

.. on a amd 3700x

fickle ore
#

Anyway my point is with 8khz mouse, discord with 10+ servers, firefox, some other crap eating resources.. 8 cpu might or might not improve that situation

#

apparently spotify is built on a browser too..

reef patrol
crimson wigeon
#

Spotify the desktop client is horrifyingly awful yeah

ashen spindle
#

doesn't change my opinon that you don't get 150$ worth of benefits in gaming when going from 5600 to 5800 :p

fickle ore
#

150$ is relatively little if you upgrade every 10 years like me

#

๐Ÿ˜„

reef patrol
#

I upgrade once a year... maybe two xD

fickle ore
#

if it improves my frametimes by 20%-30% for those scenarios, for competitive gaming is worth to me

crimson wigeon
#

I've found that using mpv for youtube vids while doing intense stuff helps a lot, so yes the website is very heavy

fickle ore
#

@crimson wigeon how do you do that?

crimson wigeon
#

Drop the URL on it

zenith sonnet
#

I really need to try that as well

#

3080 Ti: 3090 with 3080's memory at double capacity

ashen spindle
#

lets see if this works

#

lmao of course not

#

how are you part of making the latests tech but also have to put an ยฎ into your url

pale sigil
#

Any leaked gaming benchmarks yet

ashen spindle
#

of what

pale sigil
#

Of the new CPUs xD

crimson wigeon
zenith sonnet
#

@pale sigil Look at the AMD presentation

#

It's the best we have so far

ashen spindle
#

yeah or just make it a normal fucking url

pale sigil
#

AMD presentation

#

Thereโ€™s ya problem

ashen spindle
#

and no, no leaks

#

also leaks are bad reviews

#

not much to leak anyway, we know most of it, we just need validation now

#

and you aint getting validation from leaks
