Sure, but 2 dimmers are usually only OC focused boards, which don’t sometimes have some normal features, and also are more expensive.

astral haven
#

None of the others run 1900if without wheas

shadow minnow
#

Not sure. Gigabyte page does not say anything, but there is one pwm connector connected to sth on board going under vrm plate. Should be possible to disable, but may be too short to disconnect.

astral haven
#

And the z490i unify is a 2 dimmer

#

And also you don't need 2 dimmer on Intel since tabbed traces magic

#

It's just a nicety

#

There aren't any problems running 4400 on any z series 10th gen

shadow minnow
#

Wish z590 master had smd ram slots instead of useless amount of VRMs.

astral haven
#

Do not buy gigabyte for daily

shadow minnow
astral haven
#

Oh

#

Welp you've already figured it out

#

But also booting is a pain

#

Hex values for random ram timings is also fun

shadow minnow
#

For me it was not an issue. Mobo or cpu dying day one however…

shadow minnow
astral haven
#

All z590 boards have terts expressed as hex values

#

On gigabyte

#

Even the tachyon lmao

shadow minnow
#

Don’t think I managed to look into terts before it died lul

i'm still on 11.3, i've been too lazy to update. can't find a good way to update with screen closed or asleep and my internet slow

misty saffron
#

what are the odds of me being fucked over

#

$150 sounds way too cheap for a good 1tb ssd

#

but considering it’s a proprietary connector i guess it could be true..?

astral haven
#

$130 is the price of a 1tb nice SSD post chia
Pre chia it was $100/tb

vagrant pagoda
#

might be recycled

astral haven
#

Alot of people unlock the 6900xts tho
And the power limit maximums are dangerous

#

But I really don't think it's power delivery I think it's transient thermals

astral haven
#

Bz is right Nvidia does have a history of that
Hmm

chrome estuary
#

I think that's what was spoken about earlier with at least the AMD cards. People disabling power limits

reef patrol
#

Supposed to - Which is why I find the lack of more concrete analysis frustrating.

#

If your CPU hits a panic temp, it throttles till it can't no more and then shuts down.

GPUs are supposed to follow this concept, and will throttle much earlier on a curve.

wheat plume
#

Idk why this reminds of the Poco f1's custom ROM community
A lot of custom ROM were found to be bragging about how their rom is the fastest at playing

Turns it it's because they had completely disabled thermal management and overclocked the GPU a little bit
Ending up cooking a lot of user's phones

reef tundra
#

There should also be hardware level thermal protection. Loads of ICs have a thermal shutoff circuit build in that just cuts the circuit when a critical threshold has been reached (typically around 150C). This prevents thermal runaway and setting itself on fire.

astral haven
reef patrol
#

Hard or not, if it doesn't shut down before it dies, the protection is useless.

astral haven
#

It's not like a CPU where you can even have a temperature sensor on every core
Much less on individual parts of a core

reef patrol
#

Then they need to set the threshold lower. Software should never be able to kill a graphics card, unless it is somehow purposely bypassing driver and kernel protections.

reef tundra
#

Physical phenomena based on temperature isn't. If the sensor hits certain criteria (like deforming due to thermal expansion differential, voltage measured across two different metals at one point).

astral haven
#

You could easily make a workload that specifically fries a single core

#

That one core would be drawing a watt of power and dead gpu

reef patrol
#

I disagree - or we'd see it occasionally as an attack vector.

astral haven
#

Why fry a gpu when you can instead mine on it

reef patrol
#

Because one removes competition without having the need for a supply chain.

astral haven
#

Smh

reef patrol
#

I don't buy it.

astral haven
reef tundra
#

Temperature sensors cost fuck all and are trivial to implement. The PT100 and PT1000 tables are easy to find on the internet

astral haven
reef tundra
#

You know by putting two differend metals together at one point you have a temperature sensor

astral haven
#

Smh the hard part is the amplification circuitry

reef tundra
#

op-amp and 3 resistors?

astral haven
#

Op amp

#

That's a physically large circuit in terms of die space

#

That's why GPUs only have 10s to a maximum of a hundred of them

reef tundra
astral haven
#

Largest number anyone has admitted was 64

#

Ok pincus stop trolling

#

Do you want to actually learn what's going on here or are you just gonna spout nonsense?

reef tundra
#

You claimed the op amp is physically large and I have provided with a schematic with a functional opamp do your amplifying with

old marlin
#

idk wtf amazon games did to be able to achieve that

#

but yea normally they should just lower clocks until temps get normal again

#

but the protection seems to not have been made with the thermal output the cards are managing to pull off

#

other thing is that even with an open loop

#

the cards can get bricked

reef patrol
astral haven
old marlin
#

I would be interested in the temps of the open loops card

#

cause afaik atm we only know that they die

#

but not the temps

astral haven
#

Ain't sacrificing mine lmao

old marlin
#

do it

#

vrms overheating seems likely

#

well

#

as an error

#

not really with how the cards operate

reef patrol
#

If nothing else this has exploded into such a news story that nVidia, AMD and friends can't ignore it

old marlin
#

yup

ashen spindle
#

maybe they accidentally found an undocumented microcode instruction that breaks shit kek

old marlin
#

I swear if it turns out that they mine crytpo on players computers

crimson wigeon
#

Somehow that wouldn't surprise me

astral haven
old marlin
#

not necessarily

astral haven
#

Even if it somehow stressed ram more than mining, only 3070s and lower would be popcorning because g6x on 80 and above boosts

old marlin
#

they can a: limit the rate based on the gpu

#

b: use some more obsucre currency

#

or c: just do their own calculations on the cards for other stuff

#

amazon makes most of their money not in e-commerce but in computing services

astral haven
#

There are only a few algs used
You need to use some form of hashing alg, and there are very few which aren't broken

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

Ye

#

Thing is tho I heavily suspect this game is just stressing some part of the core extremely heavily

young pecan
#

Cryptonight-GPU, for example, stresses the core and basically doesn’t touch memory.

#

One can trivially easily run both it and a game at the same time.

old marlin
#

thing is

#

they could just do any other calculation on there

#

with the amount of computing power they get it is essentially irrelevant how hard they kick each single gpus memory

#

since they not only get it for free

#

but also get paid for it

astral haven
#

The only alg that makes money is hashing

young pecan
# astral haven That's not true

It is true. Tested on 1060, 2x 1080, 2x 1080Ti, 14x 3070, and 2x 3080, heavily hits core, doesn’t touch mem much.
Can confirm 1080(ti) and all 3000 series can run both Cryptodredge and games.

old marlin
#

they can basiaclly do any kind of algorythm

#

and benefit off of that

#

especially since they get paid for the computing power

wheat plume
#

The system tray and clock keep dissapearing on the task bar if I dont have task manager open
so I just keep it open on the second desktop

#

its annoying ;-;

reef tundra
#

Thats why you dont use one

ashen spindle
#

well they have to fund poor bezo's space trip somehow, maybe that's why they turned to distributed mining kek

astral haven
young pecan
#

How so? Basic logic.

#

If they can distribute compute they can, in theory, do whatever they want.

old marlin
#

there is no citation needed

#

amazon sells SO MANY services

astral haven
reef tundra
#

Doubt they wouldnt be able to sell computing power

old marlin
#

that they could do stupid stuff like optimizing algorythms

young pecan
astral haven
#

You can't sell alrogothmic power from client computers

old marlin
#

they don't even have to sell it

reef tundra
#

You can

young pecan
#

You literally can and do.

astral haven
old marlin
#

you can sell any kind of computing power

young pecan
#

That’s the entire purpose behind NiceHash.

reef tundra
#

Thats what cryptos do

young pecan
#

They sell compute from single computers.

old marlin
#

they can just distribute something away from their clusters

#

to save on power

astral haven
#

No that's hashing power

reef tundra
#

Fold@home project

astral haven
#

I mean non hashing algorithms which is what you are arguing

young pecan
#

Fold@home.

astral haven
#

Fah is still hashing

#

It's complicated but it's science converted into hashing

young pecan
#

Mmmm.

astral haven
#

That's also why it only works for very specific things and is intensely inefficient at it

reef tundra
#

AI is also hashing, everything is hashing now

young pecan
#

And uhh, Cam. CNGPU doesn’t stress the mem all that much.

#

There’s a great reason we underclock mem as hard as we can when using CNGPU.

astral haven
#

Isn't bottlenecked by and doesn't thrash are two entirely different statements

#

All the algorithms that are even remotely capable of using large enough amounts of power to popcorn GPUs use memory
That's the point of a gpu
High bandwidth

young pecan
#

Yes, but CNGPU doesn't actually need a lot of memory bandwidth.

#

That's the entire point of CNGPU, it's designed to work on low bandwidth devices.

#

Now if you wanna talk Ethash or something then you're entirely right, but different algos do different things.

ashen spindle
#

https://www.igorslab.de/en/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-vs-amazons-new-world-design-caused-evga-problem/ as expected, it seems to be the high uncapped menu fps to cause the generic shutdowns as they should, and the only bricking cards are evgas with a certain fan controller that is currently in the lab and they try to figure out why it's happening

igor´sLAB

I have now looked into the problem myself, but due to the lack of a suitable EVGA card I was only able to check it with other cards and did not find any real problems – except for the extremely high…

zenith sonnet
crimson wigeon
#

Y tho although that also wouldn't surprise

old marlin
#

could be

crimson wigeon
#

Why don't they just have a on by default 1k FPS cap or something pepega

neat oriole
#

Overwatch is smart

#

60fps caps in menus

ashen spindle
#

OW also has a dev team with experience and all that, amazon studios is a blank slate

reef patrol
#

Are they though? I figure they must have enough veterans employed.

young pecan
#

I mean...

reef patrol
#

Also apparently they knew about this from earlier.

young pecan
#

Don't uncap the menu FPS and push the GPU to it's breaking point?

#

Is that a veteran thing?

reef patrol
#

So... seems more like a "upper management" decision somewhere to speed up deployment for beta.

ashen spindle
#

yea, having experience is not the same as having running settings/system set up already

#

and I doubt they uncapped it but rather just didn't add a cap?

fickle ore
#

be glad it's just the menu lol. been happening for years on the menu & ingame for BDO/PoE

#

BDO launcher whines louder than my ex

young pecan
#

Why am I not surprised either of those games have that issue...

ashen spindle
#

yeah its nothing new, it's just new that it shuts down cards kek

young pecan
#

Well, PoE is made kinda well.

#

But BDO...

fickle ore
#

PoE whines louder than any other game I have tho

#

clearly they did something odd

young pecan
#

But hey guys, think about it this way... esports menu FPS.

fickle ore
#

BDO is fine in-game

young pecan
#

Minimum framerate is going nowhere even close to the max of a monitor.

fickle ore
#

They should test EVGA 3090 on BDO launcher and PoE lol

ashen spindle
#

doubt anything will happen

young pecan
#

Ah yes. "Hey guys, mind throwing a $3000 card at potential danger for science?"

#

I can see that going great. :D

fickle ore
#

😄

ashen spindle
#

if it's not causing other cards to terminate, it also shouldn't matter for the evga cards

#

since it seems to have issue when limit is hit, not lower limits

fickle ore
#

I mean isn't it specifically EVGA 3090's

ashen spindle
#

it's only evga cards that "brick" but plenty others also get really hot and shut down

zenith sonnet
fickle ore
#

My EVGA gtx 780 bricked within a year too. I don't trust EVGA after that 😄

#

I don't mind fps caps in menus. Even better do 30 fps or something for power savings. Many ppl idle at menus anyway.

neat oriole
young pecan
#

Gotta make sure those 1% lows cap the monitor.

zenith sonnet
#

Personally, I'd be fine with 144 Hz, since my display can't do more

#

But I'd be pissed if I wouldn't get that in menus

young pecan
#

OTHERWISE IT'S NOT ESPOTS ENOUGH. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

neat oriole
#

But why

fickle ore
#

I'm running only 240hz atm, even if my monitor is capable of 280hz, because computer explodes running BDO 24/7 at 280 fps

#

idk why but 240fps to 280fps is big

neat oriole
#

You can run up to 360fps in the actual game

zenith sonnet
#

Lol, 144Hz is a massive upgrade to the desktop experience...
You should try a high refresh rate monitor some time...

neat oriole
#

The menu is just a screen for you to click play game

crimson wigeon
#

Or just enforce vsync in menus

young pecan
zenith sonnet
#

And change settings, and whatever else you got
Like reading news

young pecan
#

200Hz refresh, 400FPS.

#

You stop getting benefits after that.

zenith sonnet
#

Also, why the hell do you not cap it yourself?

neat oriole
#

I do cap my fps

#

To my refresh rate

#

System wide

zenith sonnet
#

So, just leave the game uncapped?

young pecan
#

But hey, ESPORTS EXTREME, GOTTA GET ALL OF THAT MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT.

neat oriole
#

If you push your GPU too hard you’ll just get massive input lag

#

Or CPU too hard rather

#

So going massively over your refresh rate and maxing out your CPU/GPU is going to be an overall worse experience

young pecan
#

No.

#

Not really.

#

If you overstress the GPU and CPU, yes.

#

But otherwise there's benefit.

fickle ore
#

@neat oriole Nothing to do with pushing gpu too hard specifically, or cpu for that matter. Sure they're fucked if they're both 100% but the issue is technically if CPU renders a frame faster than GPU, it builds backpressure/buffers that are x frames long. Doesn't happen the other way around.

young pecan
#

But only up to about double.

zenith sonnet
#

Just cap FPS 3 Hz below your VRR limit

young pecan
#

Why 3 specifically?

neat oriole
#

I forget the specific number so I just cap it at my refresh rate

zenith sonnet
#

Arbitrary

young pecan
#

Ah.

zenith sonnet
#

You can do 2, or 4 ...

fickle ore
#

Optane drive arriving soon, pretty excited

#

hope my 0,1 % and 0,01 % lows see improvement 😄

fickle ore
zenith sonnet
#

Depends on the display

#

Mine's 48-144Hz
With LFRC doubling frames between 24 and 47, to stay in range

fickle ore
#

Ahh I need to check what mine's capable then

zenith sonnet
fickle ore
#

@zenith sonnet I think AMD's default is 1 nowadays, but sometimes if the software notices hitches and stuff it adjusts it to 2. I think there's a regedit force-key. For Nvidia it's 3 by default, but setting low-latency mode to "On" forces it to 1

#

But yeah I wish games would show it

#

It would be really useful for finding when/where cpu boundedness switches to gpu-boundedness and the buffers start to build up

reef patrol
#

Pros

Dedicated controller
Actually portable

Con Smol screen
Smaller battery
Hot to hold

reef tundra
#

What? Since when is a 120hz cheaper than a 60hz panel

reef patrol
#

When more are manufactured and thus cost less in bulk?

#

Or when the price difference to manufacture / buy is less than the "value added" to customers?

thick elk
#

Honestly I think the Steam deck is something I would use quite a bit.
It's a handheld gaming system running something pretty similar as my desktop in terms of software.
Battery is not great but enough for my commute / in bed / my use on vacation.

Price seems pretty good, of course at the price there are trade-offs but I would not use a gaming laptop in the same scenario's as this.

As for 120hz , I am pretty sure Valve is getting a off-the-shelve 1280x800 ips panel and considering the devices they are used in, they really don't come in 120hz / with vrr support right now.
This is the main factor in terms of cost. Sure if they knew it was going to be enough of a success to invest in a custom screen, but I don't think that is the case.
Even Nintendo went with an off-the-shelve screen for the Switch, it just doesn't make much sense to go the custom route here.

#

Going higher resolution would not be desirable due to the performance of the system.

ashen spindle
#

no point in a 120hz screen if it's a recommendation to use 30fps for more battery lmao

chrome estuary
#

they said it has all the hookups for VR but it wouldn't be recommended

astral haven
#

Dunno if dosbox supports dxinput joystick, but that's all you need
The gyro can simulate a joystick or keeb inputs or mouse

ashen spindle
#

vrr doesn't really make 120hz use less power

thick elk
#

Either way if you want to hit $400 with the base model, you are not putting in a 120hz screen

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

sure, but even if it has 0 overhead(idk if it does), still chugs battery extremely fast if it's not at 120 all the time but dips to 80 or whatever

astral haven
#

Not how vrr is supposed to work

thick elk
#

Another thing is you would need a different display controller, dimensions may not be identical so different mold as well. only increasing the unit price.

ashen spindle
#

you're telling me a 60hz screen uses more power than a VRR screen that varies between 80 and 120?

thick elk
#

The main cost for ordering such a screen would be the initial cost, not the unit price per se. Mostly because no one else is using these lower resolution 120hz 7inch panels with vrr.

astral haven
#

No a vrr capable panel running at 30 fps uses less power than a 60hz

#

And will be smoother

thick elk
#

The reason smartphones get away with 120hz screens is economies of scale.

astral haven
#

Sure they are higher res but that's easy to deal with in software

thick elk
#

quite a few places tablets is one of them.

#

cars could very well be as well.

astral haven
#

There are plenty of those

#

remember if they have the tooling they can keep producing them for quite some time as well

plush summit
#

foxxo

misty saffron
#

yep

#

new icons is what we needed

#

ok, this font kinda hurts the eyes

ashen spindle
#

I dont use VS font anyway

#

really liking Jetbrains Mono for coding/terminals

misty saffron
#

now that's my shit

#

neither

ashen spindle
#

can CLion compile linux builds on a windows machine via VM/WSL and offer debug options and also push a release direcktly to docker?

misty saffron
#

pro tip

#

if you want to pirate a font, search on github

#

ok this cascadia mono shit microsoft has defaulted is garbage

ashen spindle
#

yeah just make sure to use the version without ligatures, idk how that can be the default option for coding

crimson wigeon
#

Ligatures are stupid

ashen spindle
#

if I were to never use a different pc and never let anyone use mine, maybe, even then it's annoying sometimes

#

like gl knowing what part to click on a => arrow that is combined when you want to change it, or be confused when it's an arrow but the syntax looks weird then

#

for pure viewing, sure I think it looks nice

#

but not for working with it

misty saffron
#

great to know i can't build drivers with the preview

#

sigh

ashen spindle
#

huh

#

guess its time to file an issue maybe

misty saffron
#

i stopped event trace sessions in perf monitor

#

well

#

not much better really

ashen spindle
misty saffron
#

ah it's loading symbols

#

horribly slowly

#

reeeeeally taking its time

#

holy shit codecvt performance is garbage

pale sigil
#

@misty saffron how many licenses have you destroyed hacking escape from tarkov

ashen spindle
#

license for what? tarkov is free iirc?

astral haven
#

Windows licenses
Tarkov ac is supposed to ban based on windows license

ashen spindle
#

Just don’t activate windows lol

#

Not like it would ban people on not activated machines

crisp granite
misty saffron
#

brother

#

if you mean windows licenses

#

you can either use my bypass

#

or just change the product key in registry

fair gull
#

the font i like the most tbh

#

ah yes

#

everything is undefined

ashen spindle
#

too compressed for me to like it I think

misty saffron
fair gull
#

u know

#

i just upgraded to 10.0.20348.0

#

and it complains that it isnt installed

#

i see the problem

ashen spindle
misty saffron
#

you also need spectre mitigated libs for drivers

#

just saying

fair gull
#

glad visual studio correctly fetches the latest version as .0

fair gull
old marlin
#

@misty saffron how do you even get banned

fair gull
#

by getting banned

old marlin
#

Roomamte did 8 hours of automated ragehack lab runs

#

Before getting a manual ban

misty saffron
#

i speedran it too once

#

3 hours

#

killed the same people on labs 3-4 times

#

10 labs raids

fair gull
#

so

#

i just for fun

#

thought i could clean up the libs i have installed for msvc

#

id gain 50gb

#

maybe installing everything vs has was

#

a bad idea

ashen spindle
#

oh lord

#

yea dont do that LOL

fair gull
#

bruh

#

it still wont find the wdk

misty saffron
fair gull
#

na

#

just removing old msvc shit

when the arm shots are lethal

true quest
#

blood loss is no joke

pale sigil
#

Sorry 40

ashen spindle
#

wait the game is seriously not free to play?

pale sigil
#

Correct

#

"pre order discount"

fair gull
#

u know whats free 2 play tho

crisp granite
#

just the shock if the damage is bad enough will kill

#

oh, and the magic that is blood loss

fair gull
#

just get a boner

#

ez

#

no blood for the arms

#

means no blood loss

crisp granite
#

not how that works, chief

fair gull
#

how do u know tho

#

have u tried

crisp granite
#

I have never decided to get a stiffie after losing a limb to stem blood loss

#

🙄

#

because...there are better ways and a stiffie would help a tiny bit at best

reef tundra
#

Shoot them in the spine mm

#

Two reasons to get shock

crisp granite
#

or...just use something high caliber and slow moving, so that the bullet can stay intact and seriously fuck up whatever you shoot it at

#

even a shot to the torso would easily be lethal or at least seriously damaging

misty saffron
true quest
#

i know

reef tundra
#

Very dependent where. Even in the liver it changes your chance to stay alive if you got hit in the left or right side

crisp granite
#

horrendous meat loss on the animal I shot at that time, but...still saved the tenderloins, the best part, and the one I always call dibs on

reef tundra
#

If you shoot in the head you want them to be supersonic atleast

#

more damage to the brain due to the breaking of the speedbarrier

crisp granite
#

...shots at vitals are more likely to hit and therefore kill or maim, I thought some finnish chad already figured that out fighting the soviets forever ago

reef tundra
#

Lungs are easy targetsdogekek

#

Shoot both and you are pretty fucked without medic near you

crisp granite
#

that's just...death, most probably

#

I forgot the technical term for this, but your chest cavity starts to fill with air if a puncture goes through your chest and lungs

reef tundra
#

You need balloons to help inflate them. Which also install a metal mech to keep it inflated and not obstruct breathing

#

Pulmonary embolism

crisp granite
#

searching through my first aid book rn

#

give me a bit

reef tundra
#

340m/s is the speed of sound on average

misty saffron
#

funnily enough they take that into account in tarkov

#

you hear the bullet flying next to you quicker than you hear a gunshot

reef tundra
#

If you hear the bullet crackling through the air its supersonic

#

AS-VAL has subsonic ammo to counter that sound to be even more silent

#

does make it less able to mid to long range engagements. Bullets tend to tumble and fly off target

crisp granite
#

ah

#

the term is pneumothorax

#

collapsed lung

#

yikes

reef tundra
#

You need some special medical devices to do much to help it

#

Which other than combat field medics noone would be expected to have available

#

However hope there are not other wounded as triage would consider you too much work to possibly safe you

crisp granite
#

yep, especially with a lot of forces starting to or looking at reissuing cold war weapons in higher calibers than current issue rifles and a general focus on defeating body armour, I'd expect those kinds of injuries to happen a hell of a lot more

#

ffs, the US NGSW weapons program is looking at a 6.8mm round, and the designs submitted are pretty punchy ngl

reef tundra
#

Against armour you want as small caliber as one can get away with. less surface area means more pressure to puncture the armour

crisp granite
#

but not at the cost of less damage underneath

#

which is why low recoil (relatively) high velocity, basically full rifle caliber designs are being proposed

reef tundra
#

recoil is mostly how the gun is designed.

crisp granite
#

well, yes, but you can only take so many design liberties in an easily shoulder-able, reasonably accurate and reliable weapon system really meant for frontline troops

reef tundra
#

accuracy by volume feelsgood

crisp granite
#

😬

#

no

#

literally any force issued firearms (other than US police departments, it seems) are trained to be reasonably accurate, firing precision shots, not spray-and-pray

reef tundra
#

an-94 shot two rounds in one go. More bullets before the recoil kicked in hyper_wah at the cost of 6x the ak-74 or something

reef patrol
#

The shit american cops DO.

crisp granite
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

good channel, interesting insights and commentary

#

but that's from his eyes and his alone, and...he clearly isn't most cops

#

nah

#

I really have no issues with police

#

probably because I haven't done anything to attract their attention in a negative way

#

...cops would only be looking for me if I or someone around me did something wrong...and I take steps to ensure I, at least, never need to be brought in by cops

true quest
#

you're not all people doe

crisp granite
#

that was early 1800's US polititians beliefs that the USA should encompass all of north america (failed invasion of BNA)

#

I don't get how that makes any sense in the context, mate

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I ain't a depressed housewife

#

so...idk anything about it

#

ah...wow

#

sounds like a load of shit, ngl

#

sounds like a repeat of 2008

#

just without the banks cheering you on

#

and...you're traumatised by them

#

or at least bothered by books being sold cheering on denying reality

#

powerful enough to deny actual existence and substitute it with it's own fanciful version

#

that tends to only happen when the wires are crossed temporary, or just came crossed out of the box, so to speak

Why does TV need more than 60Hz?

#

Barly anything is 60Hz as it is

#

huh?

reef patrol
#

It smoothes the image.

#

Artificially but it's what people want xD

ashen spindle
#

consoles? better viewing experiences?

reef patrol
#

We need 144hz TVs obviously. For 48fps movies xD

wheat plume
#

So, sort of AI frame rate increasment?

#

Like how people turn anime into 60Hz?

#

xd

#

🤔 This reeks of Clickbait

ashen spindle
#

I'd say it's extremely obvious sarcasm but I guess that would technically count

wheat plume
#

hmm?

astral haven
#

Tbh yea
If I had never experienced a 144 display I'd be several thousand dollars richer and alot happier about my monitor

wheat plume
#

several thousand
???? you spend that much on monitors?

astral haven
#

144 laptop was expensive

wheat plume
#

oohhhh

#

the whole computer

crisp granite
#

I can't go below 75 hz now

#

it genuinely hurts to play on my old xbox one the rare times I do because the frame rate is so painfully low, but I was content with it less than a year ago, not knowing what better looked and felt like

#

it...ruined my perception of frame/refresh rate, completely

zenith sonnet
#

God, that's janky af

vagrant pagoda
#

Not really. PC game got it's jump in the uk/eu on computers that were still pal

misty saffron
#

yum

zenith sonnet
#

I think people still underestimate the Steam Deck APU

#

After the Xbox in first and PS5 in second place, is there any APU that's more powerful out there right now?

vagrant pagoda
#

also people think its only for new aaa games

#

indie games and old games are steams bread and butter

#

which will do great on the deck

astral haven
crisp granite
#

runs perfect

#

because half the frame rate you should be getting with given hardware, is perfect (metro exodus before native linux release)

#

fuck off

vagrant pagoda
#

like much newer

#

Also the deck has unified memory, vega m had seperate hbm2

crisp granite
#

in which "runs perfect" = works...sometimes, with minimal graphical issues

#

xD

zenith sonnet
#

The GPU cores are a hell of a lot newer though, and will do a lot more work with the same TFLOP on paper

astral haven
crisp granite
#

yes, "disco effect" "frame dips" "character faces are messed up"

#

gold rating

#

RE Village

#

I'm sorry, but no, not how that works, chief

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean it dose

#

also

zenith sonnet
#

It does work like that, though

vagrant pagoda
#

ps4 has about the same memory thoughput

zenith sonnet
#

RE Village has plenty issues on Windows, though...
Gold is fair, imo

vagrant pagoda
#

pretty sure ps4 base is 256bit 5500mt/s gddr5

zenith sonnet
#

Yes

crisp granite
zenith sonnet
#

176 GB/s

crisp granite
#

serious frame dips during the fights with the daughters, those bug effects must really be a pain to render

zenith sonnet
#

Twice the bandwidth, but LPDDR5 is a newer standard, and has much lower latency and is much more flexible

#

Quad 32 bit channels

vagrant pagoda
#

the diff between the old as fuck jaguar cpus in the ps4 and zen2 in the deck is huge

zenith sonnet
#

Oh, it absolutely shreds the PS4 and PS4 Pro in CPU power

#

No competition

vagrant pagoda
#

at literally 10% the power

#

that is the killer spec

#

S is gddr6 though

#

but yes the run the same gpu/cpu cores

#

just more of them clocked higher

zenith sonnet
#

Valve said they haven't found a single steam game yet that the deck can't run at at least 30 FPS average at 1280x800 res

vagrant pagoda
#

same could be said for a ps5

#

7nm amd is that good

zenith sonnet
#

And there's some poorly optimised shit out there...

vagrant pagoda
#

tsmc literally cant loose

crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

zen2 having such good ipc is a lot of that

#

it has enough grunt to handle games with low clocks

zenith sonnet
#

CP77 low settings would probably run at around 50 FPS on the deck

crisp granite
#

cyberpunk, which I don't think anyone plays anymore anyway, would definitely be a low AF setting blurfest

vagrant pagoda
#

leaves a lot of power budget for the gpu

zenith sonnet
crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

i mean it was made for consoles

#

like the ps4

#

lol

crisp granite
#

why can't it run well on high end hardware...

vagrant pagoda
#

i didnt ahve an issue with it

#

on relase

reef tundra
#

Because they hate the rich

zenith sonnet
#

The issue with consoles was mostly the storage and texture streaming

vagrant pagoda
#

other than a few bugs

#

with 1080ti or V

zenith sonnet
#

Cp77 ran amazingly well for my

crisp granite
vagrant pagoda
#

also my buddy beat it on a 1050ti laptop

#

on 1080p low

crisp granite
#

I beat it on an RTX 3070, 1080p maxed, but had to turn off RT with the latest update, performance is hella gimped

zenith sonnet
#

55 FPS average on mixed high settings, but buttery smooth
A smoothness that felt like I was playing a stable 144 FPS

Binning me system

you could...resell that

Or set it on fire

like big one

crisp granite
#

would be a hell of a bonfire ngl

#

12/10 would attend

#

I coulda sworn cal had an RTX 3080

zenith sonnet
#

The thing about the deck that has me worried most is honestly the display

crisp granite
#

that cost him a staggering 833 quid

zenith sonnet
#

No hint at to what expect in terms of latency

reef tundra
#

Because not everyone has 500 to throw around or more

crisp granite
#

well, yes, but 833 quid is a lot for a card that should be under 600

crisp granite
#

that's absolutely nuts

#

/s

pale sigil
#

I do have a 3080

#

Apparently my ram is garbage

#

And my system is shit

crisp granite
#

cal...hold off on that 3080...I might trade you my 3070 and a few hundred canuckistani kopeks for it

#

scratch that

#

you could resell it for at least what you bought it for within the UK

#

or sell your entire system at profit and someone will most definitely buy it

crisp granite
reef tundra
#

I know right, so cheap. Why not go with a 10k budget instead and sell like 10 devices. The Chief Financial Officer might tell its a financial mistake to sell it so high over the equilibrium of demand and supply but what they know? Go make some graphs or something lmao

crisp granite

No WHEA errors, so there's a good chance it's just ... slow

I'm sure they do that with ram as well

not just CPUs and GPUs

pale sigil

All RAM is binned

pale sigil
#

See if it makes a difference?

crisp granite
#

ye

pale sigil
#

Is thay a good way?

crisp granite
#

it's possible you just got a shitty ram kit installed

zenith sonnet
#

Yes, it is a good way

reef tundra
#

Ram is binned for consistency between the chips i believe

zenith sonnet
#

But keep in mind, your system will be slower with only 1 stick

pale sigil
#

Well ye

#

But if there Is a major difference between the two

crisp granite
#

identify trouble spots, determine if xyz is the issue, address if it is, otherwise move on

pale sigil
#

Then its obvious if one is defected

crisp granite
#

indeed

#

sometimes 1+1 is not always 2

pale sigil
#

I might just do that now

crisp granite
#

at least with ram kits

reef tundra
#

Switch it around and check if the problem follows

crisp granite
#

also...slots

#

you never know, it might be the mobo slots that kinda suck pp

pale sigil

It won't post unless you use specific slots in single ram

there are bad parents out there?

I thought QVL was "we paid good money to be on this list, now buy our ram"?
