forgot dks is only analog

zenith sonnet
#

Ya'll have too much time to mess with that shit

pale sigil
#

i hate the normal search

#

its just as easy

#

using this

#

with less shite

reef tundra
#

windows search is odd. Sometimes it only finds certain programs when you fully type them out

wanton fable
#

Lets see what she can do.

true quest
#

what a box

reef tundra
#

Double the power bill and dissapoint

wanton fable

wanton fable
# pale sigil Why though

need to upgrade from my 8700k. dont wanna beta test 10nm/ddr5.
8core/thread is perfect for what I wanna do. Gaming/streaming.
Stability.

pale sigil
#

But you didn’t need to upgrade

wanton fable
#

the need to upgrade depends on the user lol @pale sigil

reef tundra
wanton fable
#

Ive seen them. I want the benefits of 11 gen lol.

#

I game at 1440p and want PCIe Gen 4

reef tundra
wanton fable
#

never said i wanted PCIE gen4 for gaming. @prisma crag got for retail.

reef tundra
wanton fable
#

just a quick article i found for benefits of gen 4

#

My point was that it wasn't just for gaming. 1440p will not really benefit from upgrade from 8700k.

#

Ill get a okay boost to fps which is cool, but ill also be able to stream better.

pale sigil
#

But amd has gen 4....

#

You literally bought the worst cpu in the last few gens

#

Lol

astral haven
#

amd is a pretty bad ux if you are doing alot of stuff

pale sigil
#

Like?

astral haven
#

overclocking? cant get b550 or x570

#

both have trouble with bclk over 105

pale sigil
#

You don't really need to oc though

#

Lol

astral haven
#

want gen 4? gotta be careful what board you buy

#

gigabyte at least is known to not work (sometimes)

pale sigil
#

Has nothing to do with amd though

astral haven
#

usb?
well not fixed yet

#

nah its an agesa bug

pale sigil
#

That seems down to mobo manufacturers

#

Right, exactly, bugs.. M

wanton fable
#

AMD has always had stability issues lol.

#

I always get ASUS

astral haven
#

intel requires qc on their boards

pale sigil
#

It's your money but hot damn

#

Buying the newest i9 is a literal meme

astral haven
#

you want the fastest computer, you get it

#

🤷‍♂️

pale sigil
#

Idk why you didn't wait

#

For 12th

wanton fable
#

stock issues lol

#

oh

pale sigil
#

I'd yoj wanted the fastest you get amd

wanton fable
#

I dont want to beta test 10nm/ddr5

pale sigil
#

Rn they are murdering the i9

astral haven
#

no
amd is the fastest oob experience

pale sigil
#

Intel is insanely awful with boost and oc on the i9

astral haven
#

?

wanton fable
#

uhhh

#

lol wut

pale sigil
#

Insane power draw and temps

astral haven
#

power draw sure

#

temps are fine

pale sigil
#

No they aren't

#

🤣

#

The new Intel cpus are hot af, expecially the i9

wanton fable
#

it can def OC. 5.3. Temps are fine if you have a good cooler*

pale sigil
#

....

#

Guess noctua is bad then

astral haven
#

you can overclock them super far
and when you dont run a great cooler it does shit

pale sigil
astral haven
#

i mean

#

noctua makes some pretty terrible coolers

wanton fable
#

AIO 360 are better 🙂

astral haven
#

noctua is just quiet

wanton fable
#

which I have

astral haven
#

not super performant

pale sigil
#

Andddd I'm backing out of this convo

#

🤣

astral haven
#

thing is on liquid cooling you can get 300w cooled ultra easy

wanton fable
#

okay i dont agree with him on noctua

reef tundra
wanton fable
#

they make great air coolers/fans

astral haven
#

great yes

wanton fable
#

@prisma crag source/proof?

pale sigil
#

Top left

astral haven
#

only advantage of noctua is how insanely quiet they are

wanton fable
#

they have one of the best 120mm fans out rn lol

astral haven
#

and they perform sufficiently for non overclocked operation on pretty much any processor

#

one of

pale sigil
#

Most noctua coolers shit on AIO coolers

#

Lol

astral haven
#

depends on the processor

wanton fable
#

@pale sigil mmm not really. Cant agree with that

astral haven
#

and also not "most noctua"

#

its just the d15

#

and s

pale sigil
#

And the d12

astral haven
#

d12 is awful

pale sigil
#

Which Is insanely good

#

Wot

astral haven
#

u12a is fine

#

d12 is terrible

pale sigil
#

U12

#

Sorryb

#

XD

astral haven
#

u12a tho is mega expensive

pale sigil
#

Wot

#

No it's not

astral haven
#

and isnt exactly better than muuuch cheaper coolers

wanton fable
#

@pale sigil we talking about Noctua top of the line ones haha

astral haven
wanton fable
#

not most

#

AIO will generally have better colling than air.

pale sigil
#

Considering it beats quite a few AIOs

#

It's good

#

U12s

astral haven
#

the fuma 2 is the performance of the d14 and quieter than both

pale sigil
#

Is also insanely good

wanton fable
#

for air*

astral haven
#

oh it was the u12s not the d12 that was shit

#

i made the mistake of purchasing a u12s

#

gets entirely slaughtered by the fuma

pale sigil
#

But the U12s is still a beast lol

astral haven
#

it has a heat capacity of nearly 120w before it runs away

#

the fuma2 is 220w

pale sigil
#

Dh15 is deffo insane though

#

Loved mine and j went thought a bunch of AIOs

astral haven
#

the u12s is around the same at 220w and the d15 is only 250w

#

the alf ii 360 can handle well over 400w with a large enough cpu

#

the 280 can handle 300w just fine

wanton fable
#

I mean at the end of the day, its true Intel uses a lot more power and produces a lot more heat. But its not like this generation is worse than previous gens in this factor. Basically the same if not a little better.

pale sigil
#

It literally is

wanton fable
#

I have an expensive AIO... sooo im good 🙂

pale sigil
#

Less cores

#

Insane temps and power draw

#

Insane price

#

Lol

astral haven
#

power draw is the same

#

temps are pretty much the same

#

the difference is that people are rn comparing overclocked to stock numbers

#

which is like uh

#

why?

pale sigil
#

Literal meme

wanton fable
#

its not the strongest launch. Ill give you that, but has its uses. Def not meme tier.

astral haven
#

sure it uses alot of power
but it uses the same amount of power as my 9900k

#

and its runing avx512 instead of mere avx2

#

yes it can run avx512 at full clock speed

pale sigil
#

I don't get why you go ahead with a processor literally everyone is saying don't

#

Literally everyone

#

It's a terrible launch

wanton fable
#

TLDR - Stability.

pale sigil
#

Hehe I made the mistake of going skylake and beta testing dde4

astral haven
#

name a review who says not to buy who is specifically talking towards enthusiasts who are willing to max out the performance of their system with overclocking and stuff

pale sigil
astral haven
#

skylake wasnt ddr4 beta testing lel

pale sigil
#

Literally type it into YouTube

#

Or arrivals

#

Articles

astral haven
#

skylake was the 3rd ddr4 release
first was x99 which was a beta test
second was bristol ridge

#

and well

pale sigil
#

Like kithuru et

astral haven
#

bristol ridge was a meme and a half

pale sigil
#

Etc

#

Ddr4 was still pretty shit during skylake

wanton fable
#

"The first DDR4-compatible desktop CPU hit the consumer market August 29 with the launch of Haswell-E, Intel’s Core i7 high-end desktop processor."

astral haven
#

wait no not bristol ridge

#

carrizo

#

oh no it was bristol ridge

#

carrizo was bristol ridge backported

#

god bristol ridge was such a shit product

pale sigil
#

Afaik

astral haven
#

i forget the name of the laptop versions

pale sigil
#

Skylake was the mainstream version for ddr4

astral haven
#

yeup

pale sigil
#

Before it was their top of the range

#

Only

astral haven
#

it was the first mainstream ddr4 platform that functioned

wanton fable
#

DDR4 had about a 1 years growth before skylake.

#

which site?

pale sigil
#

I'll give amd credit, the I5 isn't terrible minus its power draw

#

Price wise

#

It's a good deal

#

£250

#

Ooft

#

Nvm

#

I got my 7700k for £250

#

Tbf significantly less cores

#

And other stuff

wanton fable
#

AMD = Stock issues lul

pale sigil
#

Stock is pretty stable low

#

Now

astral haven
#

5600x doesnt particularly exist and the 5800x is more expensive than the 11900k

pale sigil
#

But also its an issue because well they are actually a lot better

#

Overall

#

5600x is insanely common

#

The fuck

astral haven
#

its out of stock everywhere...

pale sigil
#

More expensive?

#

Huh

wanton fable
#

@prisma crag gear 1/2?

astral haven
#

gear 1

pale sigil
#

Lol tbf Intel only sells at this price

#

Because amd shot them up the ass but again

#

You're getting less....

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ intel sells at whatever price they want

pale sigil
#

You're basically getting an I7+

wanton fable
#

thats really good for gear 1

#

i think most max out 3700 ish

astral haven
#

gear 1 clock is gonna keep going up

#

3 weeks ago there was a dude who wasnt able to get 3200

pale sigil
#

Temps?

astral haven
#

i mean that is an apex lel

wanton fable
#

well a 360 rad is on the higher end of cooling lol

astral haven
#

nah its a ryujin

#

thats aluminum

pale sigil
astral haven
#

literally only microcenter has it atm

#

and thats in store only

pale sigil
#

I can buy one right now

wanton fable
#

how about 5800x LUL

pale sigil
#

Ye

#

Loads of them too

astral haven
#

5800x is easy stock cause of the price

pale sigil
#

Can literally buy them

#

Right now

wanton fable
astral haven
#

5600x and 5900x arent in stock in the us

pale sigil
#

Sure it's just not a local thing?

wanton fable
astral haven
#

newegg has it

#

its about 50/50

wanton fable
#

ahh okay

pale sigil
#

Haha that's bizare

astral haven
#

5600x is poof

pale sigil
#

We haven't had stock issues since Feb

#

I prob not even that

#

Around dec

#

GPUs are still an issue tho ofc

astral haven
#

dont believe you 🤷‍♂️

#

maybe amd sent your area the wrong allocation?

pale sigil
wanton fable
#

@pale sigil If you actually care, I would encourage you read over the reddit article to the the benefits of the architecture. Def not a meme.

pale sigil
#

And most of the time

astral haven
#

oh no it definetly is a meme dan

pale sigil
#

The pricing isn't that high

#

Eg ebuyer sold 5800x for 339

#

Other say

#

I was gutted

wanton fable
#

@astral haven in what way?

pale sigil
#

x. X

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ memes are made by the people and the people decided it would be a meme

wanton fable
#

lol

pale sigil
#

It's the offering overall that's a meme

#

It's lacking for the price

astral haven
#

thats your opinion

pale sigil
#

Bastards

#

£307

#

For 5800x

#

So sad

astral haven
#

sure its a popular opinion but its an opinion not a fact

#

and the fact of the matter is the price is what people would pay for it

pale sigil
#

I mean

#

I guess everyone is wrong

#

As for the reddit post I'll read it tomoz

#

But benchmarks etc say otherwise

astral haven
#

fool me once shame on you
full me twice shame on me

pale sigil
#

That's fact

astral haven
#

the place for radeon is on a shelf and the place for ryzen is in a generic system

pale sigil
#

Ryzen isn't perfect either

#

I felt like they really pooed themselves with pricing

#

And core count

astral haven
#

ryzen is great when all other hardware in your system is known good

#

however if any of your hardware is janky, your system goes down

pale sigil
#

Your point is stupid, if you're going for such an expensive cpu you're not going to be a fool and cheap out on other parts

astral haven
#

cheap out?

#

janky doesnt mean cheap

pale sigil
#

Yes, cheaper motherboards cause most issues

astral haven
#

not on intel 🤷‍♂️

pale sigil
#

Yes

#

🤣

#

Irs worse on Intel

#

Than amd

#

Getting a cheap mobo hahaha

astral haven
#

yea no claire

#

thing is

#

intel has a ton of safety features built in

pale sigil
#

God no

#

Intel cheap mobos are nasty

#

Been there done that

astral haven
#

in what way

pale sigil
#

Multiple times

#

Garbage

astral haven
#

in what way

pale sigil
#

Also fuck having to buy a new mobo every gen

#

Pissed me off that

astral haven
#

at least if you buy a board that says it works you know itll work

pale sigil
#

Haha I wanted to escape skylake

#

If im being honest

#

Motherboard was capped ram speed wise

#

And other stuff

astral haven
#

i am running 4 skylake systems in this house

#

3 of which i consider critical and havent failed once

pale sigil
#

I mean 5 years fair enough

#

Haha

#

But like

#

Not everyone does that

#

Like I'll prob end up going next gen or getting a 5800x down the line

astral haven
#

friend bought a brand new motherboard 3 years ago with a brand new cpu released alongside the board and it didnt work

pale sigil
#

Because I'm a pleb

astral haven
#

board was on a bios that didnt work

pale sigil
#

Well I'm hoping i don't

#

I had my 7700k for a good while

#

And 6600k

astral haven
pale sigil
#

Skylake motherboards had ram speed caps

#

Cheaper ones

astral haven
#

nah his roommate lent him a new processor and it worked and flashed fine

#

but when he put his cpu in it wouldnt run

#

rmad the board and the second one worked fine

pale sigil
#

2133

astral haven
#

couldnt enable xmp tho or it would crash

pale sigil
#

If I remember correctly

astral haven
#

yes claire non overclockable boards dont let you overclock ram

pale sigil
#

Was the limit for skylake

astral haven
#

thats most of the reason they are so reliable

#

all skylake can run their max capacity at their rated speed

pale sigil
#

Rmemeber when they didn't like people not having to pay a premium to overclock? aPES_LulLaugh

#

Nonsense

#

You shouldn't be capped

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ i work for a computer retailer

#

and i dread to sell all of my current amd machines

pale sigil
#

And?

astral haven
#

because i know they will come back

pale sigil
#

Haha

#

Oh god

wanton fable
#

@astral haven tryna hook a brotha up?

astral haven
#

now tbf these are older

#

no zen 3 yet

pale sigil
#

3600 was also a nice cpu

#

Wasn't a huge fan of the rest though

astral haven
#

3600 and 3700x are fantastic cpus

#

the problem is the motherboards

pale sigil
#

I just think you're talking out of bad experience more than anything

astral haven
#

yes i am

#

but i have aloooot more experience with intel machines lel

#

and alot fewer issues

pale sigil
#

But in reality there is no one is worse than the other

#

I've had awful experiences both sides

#

And this time around j went amd for the firdt time in a long long time

astral haven
#

the problem is that in reality the issues are 50/50
but intel has more systems than amd by a factor of 10

#

so intel should have at least 10x more issues

#

but no

#

its still about 50 50

pale sigil
#

That's... No

#

Wot

astral haven
#

over the past 10 years, 95% of the machines sold were intel

#

now there are alot of machines being replaced rn
but intel is still selling 80% of the new systems

#

puget isnt the mass market

#

at all

pale sigil
#

I mean

#

For a start Intel have a lot more processors when it comes to embedded etc

astral haven
#

im talking client segment

#

now i dunno if gambling machines count as client segment
but billboards dont

pale sigil
#

Newest ryzen and last gen really dominated the market

astral haven
#

billboards are 99% intel

pale sigil
#

So idk what you're talking about

astral haven
#

gambling machines are 80% amd

#

dominated what market

#

heres the thing

#

50% of a small market is good for amd but not a large number of cpus in total

pale sigil
#

The desktop market

#

Amd has pretty much been putting a dent into Intel..

astral haven
#

there are only 30-40 million ryzen machines in total
which is good and all

pale sigil
#

For a good 2 gens

#

Especially 2020

astral haven
#

do you think that 30-40 million cpus is impressive?

#

nah

#

not a problem

pale sigil
#

Pretty much most stores sell more amd than Intel by a shit ton

astral haven
#

no

pale sigil
#

Especially in 2020

astral haven
#

no

#

most stores sell more amd BOXED CPUS

#

which is a good market to have

#

but its not a high volume market

#

boxed cpus are like 1-2 million a year

#

which is like nothing

#

those boxed cpus are very very profitable for amd

#

but not really as much for intel

#

so while its good for amd that amd is getting that market
its really not a problem for intel

#

even amd doesnt sell most of their cpus boxed

pale sigil
#

Before the new chips even came out

#

Amd was making a dent

astral haven
#

well thats not exactly true is it

pale sigil
#

Just one store alone...

#

One of the biggest

#

Same situation in others

astral haven
#

again claire

#

do you think 30-40 million cpus is alot of the market?

pale sigil
#

Thing is lad

#

Intel sell their cpus in office pcs

#

Amd has never really got into that market

#

We are purely talking about it from a buying the cpu itself

astral haven
#

no we arent lol

reef tundra
pale sigil
astral haven
#

ive been saying this entire time that boxed cpus are a tiny market

pale sigil
#

Again before current gen

astral haven
#

and wanna know a secret?

#

intels boxed sales have stayed very constant over this entire time

pale sigil
#

But we've been talking about this sort of situation

astral haven
#

"I'd say 100% of the gain came from the high end for them, because Intel's high end was flat and AMD's high end grew, while Intel's entry-level business out-grew AMD's. Intel's i3/Pentium/Celeron grew very strongly and if you limited the share to just entry-level, Intel would have gained in the third quarter." from literally the article you linked

pale sigil
#

This all started because the I9 is a meme to buy

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ intel doesnt care what you think

crisp granite
pale sigil
#

You seem to paint amd as being shitty still

crisp granite
#

remember the days when it was just an i7 with hyperthreading and a slightly higher boost?

pale sigil
#

And that it hasn't even made a dent against Intel

crisp granite
pale sigil
#

When in reality they compete to the point they are better in a bunch of ways

#

Like why would Intel release such an I9

astral haven
#

intel has been selling record numbers of cpus and making record profits every quarter for the past 10? quarters

pale sigil
#

That's a step backwards

#

Yes

astral haven
pale sigil
#

That's my point

#

Amd has been pushing back

astral haven
#

and intel isnt moving

pale sigil
#

To the point Intel are lacking

#

And started changing

#

Purely because of amd

#

Yet this gen they lacked a good offering

#

All they did was cut prices and give less

astral haven
#

its true that rocket wouldnt have released if it werent for amd

#

but thats the only one

pale sigil
#

I have no doubt next gen

#

Will be pretty good

#

None at all

#

But the 11th gen i9

#

Is a complete joke

#

And a mockery

astral haven
#

rocket was their fastest cpu dev cycle in the history of the company and it was started end of 2018 begining of 2019

reef tundra
#

If intel stagnates while amd is gaining more and more of the share. Intel is in huge problems. And if it stays that way Intel will no longer have the highest market share, but amd

pale sigil
#

And the powerdraw simply isn't acceptable

crisp granite
#

true, it's become an issue for mobile vendors like apple

astral haven
#

there have only been 2 reactionary products from intel
rocket and xeon 9000 series

crisp granite
#

and they're looking elsewhere

pale sigil
#

Intel in general have been pretty pathetic

crisp granite
#

Apple silicon is solid proof of that

pale sigil
#

Since amd scared them

astral haven
pale sigil
#

I mean have you seen their press conferences or w. E they call it

astral haven
pale sigil
#

All they do is mention amd every 2 seconds

#

It's so sad

crisp granite
reef tundra
astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ marketing departments are incompetent
wheels go round

pale sigil
#

Exactly my point

#

They even tried the whole amd are slower etc and got shut down fast

#

They need to stfu and release an actuality competitive product

astral haven
#

still havent adressed a single statement ive made...

pale sigil
#

Instead of recycling the same shit

crisp granite
astral haven
#

they do

crisp granite
#

idk

pale sigil
#

Also yes tbf oems don't give a shit about power draw

astral haven
#

no

crisp granite
#

intel prices here are odd this time around

astral haven
#

the oems think the power draw is fine

crisp granite
#

AMD is somehow cheaper

pale sigil
#

That's what they've done with the I5 and I7

astral haven
#

you know why?

pale sigil
#

They chopped the prices

#

To compete

astral haven
#

because it is actually fine if you follow spec

pale sigil
#

But offered no real improvement

crisp granite
astral haven
#

prices have gone up lel

pale sigil
#

Intel I mean

astral haven
#

rocket lake is alot more expensive than comet was

pale sigil
#

Intel went up ages ago...

reef tundra
pale sigil
#

But compared to last gen

#

They are cheaper

astral haven
#

every year prices go up

pale sigil
#

I5 here for last gen were £280-300

astral haven
#

anyone unhappy about avx512 is unhappy because they know it is crazy fast

pale sigil
#

This gen they are £230-250

crisp granite
#

cut the bullshit, make a good product

astral haven
#

heres the thing

reef tundra
#

It is Linus Torvalds. The one that made the Linux kernel.

astral haven
#

linus is a whiner not a doer

crisp granite
#

ew

astral haven
#

he knows very little about hardware design

crisp granite
#

that is a headache and a half, locke

astral haven
#

and his optimization work is very sad

reef tundra
#

Lad, you need to know about hardware design to make a kernel

astral haven
#

he knows enough about how processors are supposed to work

#

but heres the thing that most people (linus included) dont understand

pale sigil
astral haven
#

and anyone trashing on avx512 is guaranteed to be one of those people

pale sigil
#

Gonna go sleep

#

It's 4:30am

crisp granite
#

nighty night cal

wanton fable
#

have a good night

astral haven
#

avx512 doesnt use any additional space on the die for compute
literally all it adds is a few registers
all the compute performance from avx512 was already available in the processor even if you dont add avx512
all that 512 allows you to do is properly use whats available

#

the same is true for avx

#

same is true for avx 2

#

same is true for sse

reef tundra
#

AVX-512 causes a frequency throttling even greater than its predecessors, causing a penalty for mixed workloads. The additional downclocking is triggered by the 512-bit width of vectors, and using the 256-bit part of AVX-512 (AVX-512VL) does not trigger it. As a result, gcc and clang default to prefer using the 256-bit vectors.

astral haven
#

they all are just allowing the program to go straight to the hardware in the smallest size possible

#

avx512 runs at full speed on rocketlake

#

ice did have some minor downclocking tho

#

previous gens did have signficant downclocking which is true, but intel realized there wasnt any point in doing that any more

reef tundra

The point was that using the AVX instruction generated more heat

astral haven
#

and?

#

it did the same amount of work per unit heat

#

except thats not true

#

since it does more work per unit heat

reef tundra
#

Maybe you dont want to trigger the thermal runaway protectionthonk

astral haven
#

🤷‍♂️ thats not a problem in really any system any more

#

and heres the most awesome part

#

when its not fast
it doesnt generate as much heat

#

thanks physics

If you want to do a fuckton of 3D Particle movements that is prime work for a GPU to offload to...

astral haven
#

find me a gpu with 128gb of vram

#

and thats a gpu

#

not multiple gpus

#

because multiple gpus means slower memory

reef tundra
#

You can swap out data with the GPU?

astral haven
#

not anywhere near fast enough

zenith sonnet
#

PCIe 6 soon

astral haven
#

ye

#

but by then we will have ddr5 on cpus and ddr5 is gonna be over 100GB/s on a dual channel memory bus

zenith sonnet
#

Anyway, AMD made a GPU with up to 2TB? of flash memory

astral haven
#

nope

#

amd lied

#

its literally just normal pcie ssds, an off the shelf pcie switch, and not even special software

reef tundra
astral haven
#

pcie 5 is ~50GB/s

#

for x16

#

the cpu has double the speed to access that on a consumer platform

#

and remember panda
the floating point perf of avx 512 is weak and yet its still pretty much the same as any gpu of its price range
the big boy flops come from int performance which gpus pretty much ignore

zenith sonnet
#

If it's so good, then why does it see so little use?
I'll believe it once it becomes commonplace in software to require a CPU with AVX512

astral haven
#

most of the computers sold in the last year had avx512

#

once that hits 25% of the total market, more common software will appear

#

like why do cpus have 256 bit avx lel

#

i low key want a vfe

#

but its pretty low key

reef tundra
#

Because intel forced it in

astral haven
#

naaaah

reef tundra
astral haven
#

yea nvidia is trying to scoot away from reliance on fast cpus

#

"you dont like our cpus?"
"well why dont we get rid of the cpu"

reef tundra
#

CPUs are not meant for repetitive jobs, but where context switching is common and happens a lot. AVX512 has proven terrible for performance with that

astral haven
#

avx512 performance isnt exactly related to context switching perf lel

reef tundra
#

It is because you are a cpu

zenith sonnet
#

So, a DPU is just a marketing plush for a CPU and a network chip on an add-in board? Nice

astral haven
#

yea its alot more complicated than that

#

no you dont understand panda

#

context switching performance is independent from avx performance

#

maybe the cpus are bad at context switching, but thats the fault of the cpu for not being able to move around the data fast enough 🤷‍♂️

#

and even with that its still plenty fast

#

big problem atm is the limited bandwidth available on the cache, and rkl has some fancy tricks in the registers to try to help with that

Before switching to linux on my desktop I did use the igp for video out.
As nvidia drivers don't downclock fully when hooking up 3 or more monitors I had 2 of them I don't generally game on hooked up to the igp.

On linux the propriatary nvidia drivers do not work well with other drivers so I switched back just connecting the gpu and making sure to disable the 0rpm mode by changing the fan curve.
Having 0 rpm enabled would result in them spinning up about twice a minute which gets annoying pretty fast / is not good for the fans.

wtf the difference?

#

oh

#

playstation and xbox

#

why pay so much for console only headphones?

fair gull
#

they work on pc aswell

#

its just if u want it for console ull have to buy the one for ur console

wheat plume
#

hmm, I need to see how they connect to computer

fair gull
#

aux or spdif

wheat plume
#

using the amp or headphone jacvk or both

#

the amp is spdif?

fair gull
#

what amp

#

no the amp is the small box u see

wheat plume
#

yeh

fair gull
#

oh wait

#

thats the cable versions

#

so usb or aux

wheat plume
#

the amp

fair gull
#

well "amp"

#

its just controls pmuch

#

not a real amp

#

in the usual sense of the word

wheat plume
#

oohh hm

fair gull
#

its basically the earcup controls as a seperate board

#

u plug the headset into it and the mixamp pro goes to ur pc

wheat plume
#

it doesnt affect audio quality?

fair gull
#

no amp really effects quality

#

unless u use shitty amps

#

it just amplifies low power audio signals to high power ones

#

so that for example high ohmage headphones can be driven at higher volumes

wheat plume
#

ooohh

reef tundra
fair gull
#

well

#

i mean

#

i had to pay shit tons of taxes

#

and fill out paperwork

to get my w1 proto from cal

so good headphones, good prefilter, preamps

also it mentions that the UK will have no govermental power in the EU. and something about climate goals

pale sigil

As of right now we still follow EU laws

no

wheat plume

oh, to the base

fair gull

yes

wheat plume

Do they need the base to function?

fair gull
#

yes

wheat plume

do they have a reciever for connecting to pc?

fair gull
#

the base

wheat plume
#

wot?

#

the base is wired? Then they connect to wifi with the base?

fair gull
#

they dont use wifi

#

^

wheat plume
#

this site wrong then?

fair gull
#

def doesnt use wifi in my case

wheat plume
#

🤔

fair gull
#

or they just use wifi cause people cant deal with terms like cleernet

#

i mean how many wireless protocols and terms does the average gamer know

#

ya

#

wifi and bluetooth

#

and bluetooth is already a stretch

reef tundra
#

Maybe the transmitters being 2.4Ghz?

fair gull
#

it uses 2.5ghz afaik

wheat plume
#

oh lordy....MICRO USB

fair gull
#

thats just power for the base

#

audio is aux or spdif as i said

#

altho i do dislike the choice of micro usb on the headset

#

but then again they arent that new and next gen a50s will prob use usb c

#

and should anyone here be insane enough to buy a50s i do recommend installing the ZaliaS Omni presets for the EQ

this mean it worked?

oh

this thing?

#

Wrong monitor but lightdm is working

#

Wait no it's not

zenith sonnet
wheat plume
#

It boots into this screen.....

#

Not

#

I reverted back to GDM
It's still blank but it works

#

and it took me to that blank screen

#

hm?

#

yep

#

GDM works but nothing is displayed to the screen

#

its been that way since the past week

#

but sometimes it does show up

#

Windows takes a long time to get to the login screen for me after the logo appears on screen

#

this looks all good

ashen spindle
#

easy fix for that is not having a login

wheat plume
#

I have

#

xd

#

yeh! it can see even the file names you open :D

#

amazing

#

microsoft know you opened any file at any time

ashen spindle
#

you dont have the starting bit location for your programs memorized and type the 64bit address in every time?

#

smh

wheat plume
#

GDM works fine if I let grub timeout
But if I hit enter in grub to skip the 5 second wait time then it doesn't appear

#

Wot tf

#

Oh hey.....

#

It's on the wrong screen again but it's working now? Wtf
I reinstalled it

#

Neither did I until this week

#

how I make it appear on the right screen?

#

oh.. it appears on display 1

#

but display 1 isnt my primary one

#

hdmi

#

display 2 is DP

#

lemme look at the port location then hang on xd

#

I think the DP is the furthest from the PCIE

#

cause everything uses the display 2 such as the boot messages and OS logos and splash screens ETC

#

Windows also uses display 1 for login also, so its not a Linux thing

#

Seems login managers like HDMI better than DP

#

it does display on both but only the login box shows on display 1

#

hmm ok

#

it just happened like that for me

#

I dont change things like that lel

#

how you install a desktop by accident?

#

wot

Well yeah it tells you exactly what to do

did you read the error

I dont want to commit them, cause its not my repo, i cloned a theme repo

#

Then stash them with a git stash pull changes then pop them back in git stash pop

wheat plume
#

no work

the pop anyway

I think you should watch a tutorial on how to git so you dont end up accidentally deleting something at this rate

Ill just reclone the repo
