just the right amount of metal tbh

shadow minnow
#

Not really, like maybe 1-5% of time, but not really that much. And also kinda testing pushing OC to limits, but not keeping that for long term

zenith sonnet
#

Hope you like memory overclocking, you can actually keep that running 24/7 and reap the benefits

#

Overclocking CPUs is pointless these days

#

Ryzen loses more performance than it gains most of the time
And intel is already factory overclocked to the max

shadow minnow
zenith sonnet
#

That reads like getting your mods from reputable sources that scan their files is the way to go

crisp granite
#

looks like the back of my PC case tbh

#

just a snarl of cables packed into a small space

#

well duh, fairly valuable stuff and fairly easy to steal from a construction site

ashen spindle
#

still waiting? could've sworn last stream they said they found a new one that fixed the issues too

#

welp

#

hopefully I get my woot2HE by christmas

ashen spindle
#

you will

#

december 2022 KEKWDisco

#

well then

#

another dark christmas of sitting around drunk and alone building lego

#

fun

2077 is the expected date for Lekker edition shipping pepesweat

#

I just want a really nice linear keyboard to replace my shitty razer 60%

ashen spindle
#

since I have a lekker coming I do care more about the mousepad than HE tbf KEKW

shadow minnow
#

I want to stop using laptop kb lul

crisp granite
#

either that or I'll buy another matias tactile pro

#

and get shafted with import fees since matias can't stock UK ISO in canada

#

yep

#

HK was going to die a slow and painful death the moment it was handed over to the CCP

#

this just makes it a little faster

#

so, good on them?

India claimed by china lul

"anti-china rabble rousers"
aka any given hong kong citizen. Well done

ashen spindle
#

yup

shadow minnow
#

It’s sad to see history repeats itself so many times

#

And yet people not learning from their previous mistakes

#

Leader Sanctions, especially for the other country in Europe having issues won’t do much. And yet nearly nothing else is being done.

76 million isn't even that huge for cheats tbh

i dont have that kind of money

Whomever wrote this is an idiot.

ashen spindle

LOL

misty saffron

LMAO

reef patrol
#

DESTROYED CHEATS

ashen spindle
#

I'll have one cheat please

misty saffron
#

that'll be $20

reef patrol
#

I SHOT THE SERVER HARDDRIVE THINGY WITH MAH GUN AND IT DIED.

misty saffron
#

question is still unanswered

misty saffron
#

what did they think a cheat is

#

that they can claim they've destroyed 17

#

i know this dude lmao

reef patrol
#

That's Callum!

#

😂 lul

ashen spindle
#

was probably 17 clients or version or something like that

#

or maybe just 17 mirror links for one

halcyon moss
#

cheats often require a subscription these days

misty saffron
#

pretty much all popular ones do

halcyon moss
#

so yes, you can "destroy" them

misty saffron
#

you usually destroy something physical

reef patrol
#

Still going with Magnum to the server rack till it stops blinky.

misty saffron
halcyon moss
#

dont forget the replicas and the backups

reef patrol
#

AND they're cheat bullets.

misty saffron
#

yep he did

crimson wigeon
#

Oh, guess Discord is also doing the Clubhouse / Twitter Spaces thing maybe

misty saffron
#

maybe?

#

it's already live

#

partnered servers have that

crimson wigeon
#

Huh, guess I'm not in enough sellout servers then

ashen spindle
#

with the limited features discord has compared to like teamspeak

#

that is actually useful

crimson wigeon
#

proper hierarchy for voice channels when zzzzzzzzzzzzz

old marlin
ashen spindle
#

huh?

old marlin
#

the useful features that miss from teamspeak

#

wdym with either of those pepeThonk

ashen spindle
#

with TS it's much easier to create rules so you can control who can speak and who can only listen etc.

old marlin
#

I used teamspeak

#

last time was way back

old marlin
ashen spindle
#

right now if you want like 80 people in a channel gl having any sort of decent moderation

old marlin
#

I mean

#

you can if you want to

#

is entirely possible

#

ah

ashen spindle
#

what im missing the most personally is being able to be in more than 1 voice channel

old marlin
#

in return you get the existance of text channels

#

that are not bound to voice channels

#

and you can use them without being connected to a voice channel on the server

#

or even while being in a voice channel on another server

ashen spindle
#

yea I just want them to not have less options in other areas in excahnge for that

old marlin
#

I'll gladly trade that

#

ts5 fixes none of it

#

only introduces a fancier server switcher

ashen spindle
#

idk what ts5 brings, I dont't have much faith in that going anywhere big

old marlin
#

essentially nothing

crimson wigeon
#

And a bloated modern interface pepega

old marlin
#

looks a lot different

#

but does not really anything new afaik

ashen spindle
#

I'd just like discord having options that are already available and just not user changeable for whatever reason

old marlin
#

wdym with "user changeable"

ashen spindle
#

like for example give me an option to either leave the old voice channel when I join a different one on another server or I can be in both

#

not hard to have

old marlin
#

idk, being in two voice channels doesn't seem useful to 99% of the userbase

ashen spindle
#

takes almost no time to add and some people do want it

ashen spindle
#

not like I expect a feature that takes forever to be added when its niche

old marlin
#

but you don't know how voice channels are implemented in the client

#

might be quite hard to implement with how they did it

ashen spindle
#

ok, it's not hard to add unless you already fucked up in a previous step, at which point it's probably a good idea to clean that up anyway

#

or if we are on about features for what more people want

#

give me better options to handle how messages from blocked people are handled Reeeeee

old marlin
#

even better

#

default mute settings when you join a server

#

and locking channel positions

#

so you don't accidentally shuffle them around

reef tundra
#

More channels so you can hear more clipping when everyone goes ballistic

pale sigil

Meme machine

latent mural
#

wait so is the lekker edition and the wooting two he the exact same thing besides the keycap colors

shadow minnow
#

And keycap material

#

And extra spacebar

reef tundra
#

Technologically speaking. The lekker was more to get a production line made to make those new switches and software

shadow minnow
#

And maybe something else. Also I think wrist rest sale but that was not by much

#

That too

#

cool role and a cool feeling of having Lekker too lul

reef tundra
#

Naratively would be best to make the lekker edition to fund the HE production possible.

shadow minnow
#

If you are gonna buy steelseries instead I can tell you you have made a mistake. Otherwise I think there should be some new smaller form factor at the end of this year or start of next lul

Are any F@H Linux users able to help me get my GPU working with the program? I'm using Manjaro, and I have a Radeon card with the open-source video-linux drivers (I'm guessing that's mesa), and despite installing opencl-mesa and ocl-icd, my GPU is disabled in the F@H client. Here's a snippet of the log that might help diagnose the issue:

zenith sonnet
#

At least it's useful for something.
Unlike mining :rooKek:

astral haven
#

Literally more efficient to mine then donate half the profits to charity than to fold

#

And generally mining is lower power usage thanks to optimization around hashing

zenith sonnet
#

It's a bigger waste of electricity than just shorting mains to ground rooShrug

astral haven
#

That's objectively wrong

zenith sonnet
#

Since you're also wasting silicon and fab time

astral haven
#

At least the ethereum block chain is running several thousand digital platforms

#

Wut

#

Have your computer mine while idle...

analog holly
#

I mine Monero on my spare server cycles

#

the server is on at all times anyway

astral haven
#

Anyone who has a computer which isn't set to mine while idling and has more than 4gb of vram and is Polaris or pascal or later either doesn't know about mining, or actively is trying not to make money

vast moss
#

I know very little about cryptocurrency, let alone mining

astral haven
#

Cryptocurrency is like a normal currency, except instead of running on an ibm mainframe, it runs on a bazillion peoples computers around the world

zenith sonnet
#

Unfortunately it's late and I can't think of the vocabulary to put the stupidity that is mining into words

astral haven
#

Only people who don't like mining don't understand crypto 🤷

#

Mining farms are dumb and deserve to die

#

But the point of crypto is to have everyone at home mining on idle cycles on their computer

zenith sonnet
#

It's a HUGE waste of electricity and massive source of pollution. No thanks

neat oriole
zenith sonnet
#

Sounds like that would a good use for RKL

vast moss
#

Well, it's more often than not low-hanging fruit, especially if they know their machines are used for gaming shibalaugh

astral haven
vast moss
#

Living in a rural area, I have pretty much one option for electricity providers

astral haven
#

Oof

vast moss
#

That said, I suppose F@H or Mersenne Prime Search is just as much of an energy hog as mining

astral haven
#

Well then buy a powerwall and solar

#

And fah is actually super unproductive

vast moss
#

We do have an open field here, but I don't know if we'd want to make the switch to solar energy

astral haven
#

Very few reasons not to install panels nowdays

#

If you are on a fixed price/kw monthly billing at least

#

Don't upgrade unless you have no other option

#

Also don't forget to wash the panels

vast moss
#

I actually don't know what our energy situation is, as I don't pay the bills around here

astral haven
#

Yea but have they offset themselves yet?

#

Sure but have the panels also paid for the co2 cost of their production?

#

Ah

#

And don't have any more roof space?

#

New batteries are alot better

#

Least lifespan wise

#

Only 2k cycles at 50%

#

That's not amazing

#

That's only 5 years of use if you have double the storage you need

#

How much storage are you planning on getting

vast moss
#

That's fast

zenith sonnet
#

These numbers are so meaningless
I'd be much more interesting in OC records where they can actually provide some proof of stability

astral haven
#

geekbench 4 is a memory benchmark mostly, look there for stable high speed memory ocs

zenith sonnet
#

Is it?

#

So when everybody uses Geekbench to show what Apple's new shiny ARM toys can do, all they're really showing is that LPDDR4X is fast?

astral haven
#

Pretty much

#

I mean it does follow actual real world performance because most of their tests are derived from real world tests

#

But it is one of the tests that correlates best with memory subsystem performance

#

That does include cache

zenith sonnet
#

Can't Unity be compiled for ARM as well as x86?
I'd really like to see some games recompiled and see how they fare on ARM CPUs vs x86

#

Games are also extremely memory sensitive

astral haven
#

Eh usually they are memory latency sensitive only

#

And dgaf about bandwidth and copy

zenith sonnet
#

Well, rosetta is part of the package, so that's fair game imo

astral haven
#

Also remember the m1 isn't fully arm

zenith sonnet
astral haven
#

They implemented alot of x86

zenith sonnet
#

Just in a different way

astral haven
#

Eh but not to the extent that geekbench is

#

Like no matter which aspect of memory you improve your geekbench score goes up

zenith sonnet
#

That IS what they recommend, though

#

At least for Zen 2 and 3

astral haven
#

nope

#

they cant recommend, and better not start recommending 3600

#

reason being some of the cpus cant hit it

zenith sonnet
#

They call it the 'Sweet Spot'

astral haven
#

sure

#

but they never say that everyone should run that

zenith sonnet
#

They recommend it, but they never claimed everyone can hit it

astral haven
#

they dont recommend it

#

officially

zenith sonnet
#

But to be fair, I have not heard of anyone not being able to hit 1800 IF

astral haven
#

i know of 4 instances

zenith sonnet
#

And even then, you might need to go to 1766 and you're good

astral haven
#

3 word of mouth and 1 person i directly helped

#

its rare but not that rare

zenith sonnet
#

Zen 3 can hit a bit higher, so it should be pretty much a non-issue

astral haven
#

and the problem is that users dont know that

zenith sonnet
#

For Zen 3, they also moved the sweet spot up to 3800

astral haven
#

zen 3 has almost no people using it lel

#

there are less than a hundred k zen 3 running around

zenith sonnet
#

That's just official spec

astral haven
#

well yes

#

heres the other problem tho

#

amd doesnt guarantee official spec

#

at least not with max memory

zenith sonnet
astral haven
#

its not guaranteed for 128gb of 3200,
its guaranteed 3200 with single rank
and its guaranteed 128gb will function if you lower it enough

#

no

#

zen 3 is really small

#

theres literally more milan than zen 3 am4

zenith sonnet
#

Just one German retailer sold some 30-40 000 units

#

And it's not even the biggest one

astral haven
#

now theres not a tiny amount of milan

#

but its relatively small compared to the client computing segment

zenith sonnet
#

I think 4th largest or something

astral haven
#

mindfactory

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah

#

Save to assume 150-200 000 Zen 3 CPUs have been sold in Germany alone

astral haven
#

except thats not true

#

mindfactory is a huuuge percentage of the eu market

zenith sonnet
#

EU market
They don't even ship outside of Germany

astral haven
#

you can buy cpus from mindfactory in austria and france

#

and those are the only two countries i know folks in

#

in the eu (besides germany)

zenith sonnet
#

You can buy, but they do not ship to you

#

Clearly says that they ship only within Germany

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ i have 2 people who say you are wrong

neat oriole
astral haven
#

helium lmao

#

thats great

#

oh i want that

zenith sonnet
#

Naturally they must sell to anyone within the EU, that's EU law
But they don't have to ship outside of Germany

#

If you're using a middleman, then whatever
But that doesn't make it a huge chunk of the EU market

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ either way i forget what cpu it was, but one of the threadrippers got leaked total market numbers, and it was a solid 30% that went to mindfactory out of the total cpus

#

and it wasnt just eu totals

#

it was worldwide totals

zenith sonnet
#

Considering the amount of reviews on mindfactory vs the number of CPUs sold, and looking at newegg, I can estimate that Newegg some approx 4.5x as many 5600X's than mindfactory
And that's probably more accurate math than estimating numbers based on one leaked threadripper SKU

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ believe what you want, but there is a total number of 7nm available

#

there are only about a million zen 3 chiplets in total
and about 70% of them are reserved for epyc high volume customers
the remaining 30% gets spread amongst retail epyc (which to be fair there isnt alot of) and zen 3 client

#

as more zen 2 lines get spun down, more zen 3 will spin up

#

microcenter is tight, i havent heard any leaks that specifically state microcenter

zenith sonnet
astral haven
#

just do the math

#

total wafers are known, console wafers are known, rdna2 wafers are negligible

#

😢

#

asus pls

#

if you arent gonna release a better version of the board at least keep it updated

atomic wharf
#

RBAR isn't that useful afterall though.....

astral haven
#

i use ~100gb of vram for ice

#

yes most of that is shared memory

#

and im very confident that rebar would help a tooon

#

tho to be fair its also janky as hell

#

lemme dig up an old screenshot

#

i had many tb of disk cache available for it, and once it memory leaked all of that it crashed

#

?

#

where?

#

was this referring to me?

#

yes ice is a solid color

chrome estuary
#

My background is solid black because I'm too damn lazy to change it again after it reset the last time

I kinda feel that price is a bit high for that card

pale sigil
#

It's a piece of shit

#

Ofc it's to high

cursive summit
#

You must be really bad at computer electronics to buy a GT 710 or 1030 to game

pale sigil
#

If you are desperate and poor

#

Go secondhand

cursive summit
#

Remember the times you could second hand RX 580s for 120$?

#

Yeah me neither, feels like 2019

misty saffron
#

wtf does that need active cooling for

pale sigil
#

Cos it looks fancy

old marlin
pale sigil
#

I do

#

Cos I ordered two

old marlin
#

same

pale sigil
#

Nicked the codes and returnrd them

#

🤣

old marlin
#

I ordered one right before the first mining hype hit germany

#

used it for 3 months

#

and then resold it for thrice the price

#

and bought a 1080 for the same price

cursive summit
#

RX 580s are genuinely good cards for their price

#

They run 1080p no problem

old marlin
#

if you could get them for good money atm

cursive summit
#

Well, used to be great value

#

Nowadays nothing is good value

old marlin
#

also bl3 always runs like ass PepEsAd

pale sigil
#

Youtube just doesn't work at home on ios anymore

#

Do to my pihole

old marlin
#

pale sigil
#

Need to figure that out

#

old marlin
#

can't you create an exception for it

cursive summit
#

So, @pale sigil

#

April Fools idea

pale sigil
#

Ye I can

cursive summit
pale sigil
#

I was going to do something but yesterday killed all my energy

#

Tbh

#

Nah I was going to do a Wooting X Razer thing

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

Hmm

#

That could be a shout you know

#

"Epic announces acquisition of Wooting. Wooting analog mode officially integrated to Fornite forever. Now stop asking if it's bannable"

pale sigil
#

Terrible idea

#

Literally the worst possible idea

#

The amount of trouble caused

cursive summit
#

Isn't that like, the whole point of April fools?

ashen spindle
#

no the trouble should be caused for the one who falls for it, not the ones who trick others lol

cursive summit
#

Fools giveth, fools taketh

timid chasm
#

first it giveth then it taketh away

#

Maybe some crooked vultures shit? I dunno

#

which is a legendary band btw

#

Kinda tech talk. Any recommendations on seeing what could potentially be thrashing a hard drive or causing cpu spikes? Something with decent logging maybe. Cause I wanna know wtf is causing this random as fuck fps plunges

ashen spindle
#

task manager on second monitor

#

hwinfo for detailed logging

timid chasm
#

I've tried task manager to for quick glancing when it happens to see what's the usages are but it is eh. I'll look at hwinfos logging

astral haven
#

actually you probably want system explorer

#

has io options

ashen spindle
#

pretty sure all relevant things from that are in hwinfo

#

task manager more just for a first glance

astral haven
#

hwinfo is per hardware

#

system explorer is per program

ashen spindle
#

I guess that could help if you think the cause is in some other program than the game

#

fair enough

#

havent used SE since I switched to win10, new task manager usually has all I need so I forgot that

#

you know what I dont understand?

#

why gpu AiBs are currently paying any sort of marketing dollar for ads for their gpu version

#

they're all sold out anyway, and you wont get any revenue form the 50 people that accidentally watch the video in a year lol

astral haven
#

You want to fire all of those people?

#

Screw you

#

Yea that's not how that works at all

ashen spindle
#

im not saying they should not do marketing, I think they should do other stuff atm, a regular ad infornt of a youtube video isn't really doing anything for them atm

astral haven
#

Other problem is the moment that everything is back in stock they need to go back to normal

ashen spindle
#

sure but don't you think the company would be one of the first in line of realising when that would happen

shut light
#

Is the keyboard based on QMK?

ashen spindle
#

its not happening withing a week so there would be plenty of time

astral haven
#

Nope quin the supply chain is stuffy asf

#

It could take several weeks for a decision to even be considered

ashen spindle
#

If it takes several weeks for them to go from "we have gpus in stock, tell youtubers to run an ad for it" to that actually happening, then that sounds like a major issue at some part lol

#

im not talking some fancy animated ad that literally takes weeks to make

#

but if I see a youtube video and the sponsor at the start is AiB X with their 6700xT series models A and B, I think that was literally just wasted money as they are out of stock anyway

astral haven
#

That ad cost them very little, and they want to be in your mind when this current situation is over

timid chasm
#

That often times has the opposite effect on me. I'm a "fuck you I can't even get one and now I hate you" kinda guy

ashen spindle
#

I'd disagree based on the short retention span of majority of people consuming youtube videos, they won't remember an ad spot from 3+ weeks ago

astral haven
#

That's not how advertising works

#

It's just the name you hear

ashen spindle
#

in that case I'd argue make it an ad for a mainboard instead lol

#

idk I get why marketing has to exist even with all it's bullshit, I just dont see the value in these things atm

astral haven
#

Different divisions

#

If you fire the current people during this dry period, you have to go to the effort of finding people in the future

ashen spindle
#

again I don't see where this firing of people comes from

#

if I think these ad spots are a waste of money doesn't mean I think they should fire the people and cut the ad budget, just use it differently or do something else with it was my point

astral haven
#

Yea again not how it works
These aren't small companies where you have one team working on "marketing"
It's a tree of different teams

#

And at a certain point it leaves the company

#

Most stuff you see is contracted work

ashen spindle
#

surely it can't be that unflexible that you can't see it saved up or shoved around for some time

#

it's not like it's something sudden and unpredicted either

astral haven
#

I see you have never worked for a company lel

ashen spindle
#

you can't tell me after 6 months it wasn't possible to adjust plans so move funds around or change plans even between departments

#

not a big one yes

astral haven
#

Yea well

ashen spindle
#

and if that actually isn't possible that sounds like some other issue to me peepoShrug

astral haven
#

It's how companies work

#

The larger they get the less flexible they become

#

Alot cant

#

It takes a crazy amount of money to perfectly control your narrative

#

And when you have a thousand products all of whi h have their own teams, it is super hard

ashen spindle
#

I mean I get that for example for asus, but I can't see gigabyte or EVGA being even close to that size?

astral haven
#

Lol they are all multi thousand employee businesses

#

Or at least have multiple thousand people who need to be dealt with somehow up and down the chain

ashen spindle
#

estimated employees for evga: 450 thonking

astral haven
#

I don't just mean their us offices lel

#

Product development is done in Taiwan ofc

reef tundra
astral haven
#

And they own at least one factory

ashen spindle
#

they still dont really have more than a handful of categories they compete in so I can't see how their marketing team would be so extremely handicapped that they can't make adjustments on month long situations

astral haven
#

Actions are happening now, but you won't see it yet

pale sigil
#

Evga have an office in Netherlands

#

Germany

#

Bastards don't have one in the UK

#

And I paid to much to send a psu to them

ashen spindle
#

I get big machines moving slowly, but 6 months after it started it still hasn't allowed for some more flexibility in where to spend marketing money on? I don't buy that

astral haven
#

If they hard pivoted 6 months ago sure

#

But they didn't do anything

#

Just sit down and hope it blows over

#

Pny yoinked bfg tech?

LTT: oh boy, that image in the background already..

#

omg

wheat plume
#

Yeh, I did

fair gull
#

i mean actually make it do what it should and not just check if the last file ends with .txt

ashen spindle
#

how do you know thats not what is needed KEKW

shadow minnow
#

Smh this MacBook after using it more hours everyday for more days, gets temporary burn in that takes multiple days of not using it at all to disappear

fair gull
#

she said check if theres any txt in the dir

ashen spindle
#

well, I hope there was more code after the last line in the project

fair gull
#

since shes overwriting the same bool and not breaking the loop after its found a txt it is essentially depending on the last file only

ashen spindle
#

also double negative, unless you need to do it that way and can just check if it exist in python?

wheat plume
#

we only need one txt file

#

but the name changes due to the time stamp

#

so we cant hardcode the name

ashen spindle
#

you do realise if that is the entire code, that is going to fail?

fair gull
#

yes but ur loop would return no if the last file in the list isnt a txt

wheat plume
fair gull
#

it doesnt

ashen spindle
#

it only checks if the last file is a txt file or not

fair gull
#

ya

wheat plume
#

I took the only text file in the folder out of the folder and it cant find it

#

put it back in and it works

#

thats good enough for th is

ashen spindle
#

...

fair gull
#

lol

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah sounds good, ship it!

fair gull
#

i see lana uses the "works on my machine" approach

wheat plume
#

the code will be run in a specific folder location, which will have only 3 other files besides the python file
and only one of those 3 other files are txt

#

we know the precise names of the other 2 files as they wont change their name

ashen spindle
#

you don't get the issue

wheat plume
#

so yeah, just got to see if a txt file exists

fair gull
ashen spindle
#

what if the txt file has a name that makes it so it would be the first one in the directory? what does your code do then?

fair gull
#

fail

#

horribly

ashen spindle
#

it would turn it to true, then set it to false 2 more times

wheat plume
#
#Check for .txt file
for i in os.listdir(current_dir):
    txt_bool |= i.endswith('.txt')
fair gull
#

ya

#

that loop would do what it should

wheat plume
#

it do

fair gull
#

yes but the code u sent before didnt

ashen spindle
#

this one works, your snipped earlier doesn't

wheat plume
#

yep... I know

ashen spindle
#

then why did you say it works if you now say you know it doesnt work notlikemiya

wheat plume
#

my current solution works*

#

happy

ashen spindle
#

you could've just posted this earlier or mentioned you fixed it as we can't really know that you changed it without you saying so...

wheat plume
#

I only found the right solution about 10 minutes ago

ashen spindle
#

I give up

wheat plume
#

182 lines
quite a lot of comments though

#

so yeh, I do have a lot more code

fair gull
#

sad u cant just do smth like ```js
fs.readdirsync('.').filter(el => el.endsWith('.txt.)).length > 0

wheat plume
#

that requires me to know how tf that works

#

and idk enough python yet

fair gull
#

thats not shitty python

#

its js

#

fuck python

wheat plume
#

oh...

#

big dumb .-.

#

According to the comments, the block of code completes its task halfway through the lines of code under an if condition

#

wot??

#

do I not include the rest of the if and its corresponding else in my function?

#

cause the rest of the code in the if, and the entire code in its else block are outside of the comment saying the task the code is meant to be doing is done

reef tundra
#

Yesn't

ashen spindle
#

yes you can early escape a loop with various means, I know neither python specific cases nor can I read mind and see what code you are talking about though

The bottom of the creek of the MacBook. Hate the temporary burn in pepecry

hard thicket
#

oh and a vbios update

#

that's some improvement i'd say..

ashen spindle
#

Now if only it wouldn’t be a „sometimes good sometimes bad“ thing

hard thicket
#

agreed

#

will see if it has an impact on my octane renderer workloads

#

what made me the most curious is more that i've seen some reviews of people having quite huge performance losses on Ryzen 3000 with rebar

#

since it's "targeted" the 5000 series

zenith sonnet
#

The image you posted uses a 3000 series rooShrug

hard thicket
#

yes the whole point of this test uh

#

the clock speeds and memory frequencies are identical in both runs, so it's mostlikely the impact of rebar

zenith sonnet
#

What are the temperature graphs like?

#

And load?

hard thicket
#

also identical

#

8 fps increase in cyberpunk with rebar on

#

at 4K resolution

#

that's a win in my eye

zenith sonnet
# hard thicket also identical

That's weird
Resizeable BAR or no, the GPU is doing more work when it's rendering more frames, presumably spending less time idling, waiting for data
That must impact power draw/temps

hard thicket
#

left is ON

proper crystal
zenith sonnet
#

Now it just needs to automatically switch modes when it suffers a performance penalty

hard thicket
#

i mean it's up to everyone, if most of the stuff you are doing actually benefits from it

#

leave it on

ashen spindle
#

it's basically 50/50 on the games I play Pepega

hard thicket
#

rip

#

just have to try it on apex and warframe now

ashen spindle
#

apex is the one I mind it the most since it reduces it there

hard thicket
#

RIP

#

i will still try it, just to confirm that

ashen spindle
#

maybe it's different on zen2 so go for it

#

quite a bit outside my understanding how it actually works

hard thicket
#

mine either, i just care if it benefits or not lol

#

what resolution did you try at quin ?

ashen spindle
#

oh I didn't try it, I just saw it in 3 reviews or so

#

im waiting for 1.2.0.2 to finally be here before I fine tune my cpu/ram, maybe ill try that then too

#

How am i supposed to benchmark Apex when it already hits 300fps hard limit...

#

i even removed the 144fps limit via launch options

#

jesus

#

that's some loss there

#

wouldn't really bother anyone that already plays at 1080p 240hz or so

#

guess i leave it on

ashen spindle
#

UWQHD for me hence I prefer to keep it off lol

hard thicket
#

seems to scale identical despite the resolution increase

#

could've tested with 4K aswell but...

hard thicket
#

this is the reason im doing the tests

#

saw the post today in the morning

ashen spindle
#

sure but I just have a 6800 non XT so it's not like I'm bathing in excess frames 😛

hard thicket
#

thought the 6800xt is quite on the top in non DLSS titles and such uh

ashen spindle
#

sure, im not complaining, at my res I just still get drops esp when it's more people around so I just dont want to reduce that and maybe dip below my monitors hz

hard thicket
#

fair enough

ashen spindle
#

since on the other hand there aren't many games where I'd get a decent uplift

#

maybe future drivers can manage it better who knows

hard thicket
#

not a rare occasion that drivers impact specific titles in terms of performance

#

by like 3 ish%

ashen spindle
#

I meant maybe drivers can manage when rebar is active/unused etc.

#

idk if that is possible but would be nice

#

so you can just turn it on

hard thicket
#

oh yeah, there have been quite a lot of discussions about that, toggling it on a driver base and such, only time will tell

zenith sonnet
#

This is interesting:

And how barely any game runs slower with SAM enabled in AMD world, bar mind blowing shit like 12% slower.

#

Now I wanna see more benchmarks

#

The frametime consistency of the 6000 series is so out of this world, I'd get one even if it was 10% slower in average FPS and cost 10% than the Nvidia counterpart

#

Also not needing third party installers to get clean drivers rooKek

surprisingly opel fixed their ugly designs

reef tundra

They got bought by the pugeot group

old marlin

seat did not

#

opel did though

#

the old mokka for example

such an ugly car

reef tundra

That answers why it got fixed surprisingly

old marlin

the new one is a lot better

#

eh

reef tundra
old marlin
#

the mokka and more recently the adam tried to make them more independent again

#

too bad the mokka succeeded more in that than the adam

reef tundra
#

I dont get the hype for SUVs. big waste of fuel and taxes

old marlin

same

#

but at least the new one is not insanely ugly

#

they also have an astra and a corsa in that design iirc

mercedes imo is just lost atm

bmw is busy with making the grills bigger

if bmw made an insane luxury electro m5 they could actually become relevant in the near future

Right to repair and forced standards are a needed thing.

cause it was terrible

fun fact

the eqa and model 3 have a similarly sized battery and range

but the model 3 has A LOT more power

cause the eqa is inefficient af

they just manage to use the same power with less output

also yea, you should obv be allowed to repair your car

you gotta admit though that high voltage is INCREDIBLY dangerous to work with

reef tundra
#

If you know whats good for you, you wont do a repair with full knowledge it having high voltage on. The ones that do, are doing it anyway, knowing/ignoring the risk. Atleast you get to choose

old marlin
#

oh yea

thing is

very little parts that can break

#

and they have not been popular in most of europe

not wheelbase in germany pepeThonk

north america does emissions for x kinda car

so just make the engine bigger so you pass emission laws

Here it is based by the weight, fuel, how much polution and which province

reef tundra
#

They play fake engine noises through the speakers in the US because else they complain that it is too weak.

you can get v12 noises from some audis

Electric cars dont pay any taxes here apparantly lol

#

What? you mean the roads? yea here the government cares enough about the infrastructure to repair them

its done for a reason.. they call them incentives

#

are you mining?

reef tundra
#

are you turning your energy bill into fake money?

crisp granite
#

tbh, most places, mining is more expensive than you can produce money

reef tundra
#

Most would be lucky to have a tiny margin

crisp granite
#

which is why I find it funny to see ads for online mining stuff

#

like, giving up your PCs resources when you don't use it to mine

#

kinda brilliant

#

shifting all those costs like hardware and power onto someone else

#

in return for a small slice of the pie

reef tundra
#

The best margins is when you offload the work

crisp granite
#

true

but seriously

wheat plume

crisp granite
#

good use of old RX 570s that see no use otherwise

but good luck making money

#

besides, you'd probably make more flipping those GPUs

reef tundra
#

Best if it was for science or something productive other than shadyactivity

crisp granite
#

true that

#

but for science or something that reasonable people do, they'd write it off

#

as an expense of their research or work

#

for degeneracy like mining, you really can't write it off as an expense

reef tundra
#

i mean crowd sourced like fold at home did

crisp granite
#

well then

#

yea, true that

wheat plume
#

All 6 GPUs

ashen spindle
#

Enjoy never being able to make back the costs of these 6 gpus lmao

crisp granite
#

they could flip them for more than it cost them to buy

#

problem of GPU cost solved

#

but power costs should eat any profit

#

no clue as to irish power costs, but they can't be pretty

ashen spindle
#

I doubt the 6 models of the same SKU were laying around for years

#

So I wouldn’t be surprised if they were recently bought and thus can’t really be flipped for profit

crisp granite
#

if someone was planning to mine in the past, then they'd have a few

#

but that is a bit more far fetched than your idea

reef tundra

wheat plume
#

That's a good price?

edgy hull

I mean it is also worth just keeping as a heater that at least makes back some profit

edgy hull
#

more then a 3070fe for so much less perf

wheat plume
#

Oo

ashen spindle
#

idk getting 6 cards now and not being in a place where you basically get free electricity to abuse it, I don't see it as something that makes profit

true quest
#

to give perspective, the 3080 was set to launch at approximately 500 USD MSRP

edgy hull

honestly should be easy to sell those cards even after a crash, just flip them with a system

we all know the outcome of that

That office is already a furnace
