their overlay is still busted af though

amd, that is

just refuses to work properly a lot of the time, especially game capture

[twin badger]

Yea, but thats more or less a minor detail

Idk, i dont personally do much capturing

[marsh cliff]

They probably don't know much about computers and we're afraid to damage it fixing it

But how do you not even notice the GPU Isnt connected

[twin badger]

Ordered an RX 6700XT

[sharp idol]

Yeah probably, just been a long day 😅

[torn hemlock]

sup, just got myself a PDP xbox one controller to use in my pc. does anyone here perhaps know if there's a way to remap the share button to something else? i tried using reWASD, xbox accesories app, and PDP control hub but havent been successful

[brave field]

Pretty sure MS announced that you'd be able to remap with accessories and then they never implemented that ever

Any remapping program that recognizes the controller as a Windows.Gaming.Input one instead of just XInput should allow you

Maaaaaybe try Steam?

[fervent granite]

announced
never implemented
Seems like a growing trend these days

[lilac heath]

Performance is much better than 3060 but nvidia does have a better driver experience

[twin badger]

I already have an amd card

Its not nearly as terrible as people make it out to be

Besides, a lot of the times windows itself fucks something up, like installing its own drivers

The performance difference to me simply outweights those couple rare instances of driver failure, and its not like nvidia is immune to that

[ionic lodge]

can i give someone money in gta ?

[lilac heath]

Yea i'm also facing that issue when windows automatically updates Radeon software

[twin badger]

Oh and i dont feel as scammed buying a 1440p card for 350 instead of 1080p and MAYBE 1440p

[lilac heath]

And it is annoying

[twin badger]

Yea thats not amd's fault tho

[lilac heath]

I have to reinstall Radeon software everytime or roll back drivers
Doesnt happen with nvidia tho

[twin badger]

It definitely can happen with nvidia

[lilac heath]

More like microsoft is paid by nvidia to fuck up amd drivers💀

[twin badger]

Thats some tinfoil hat theory material

[lilac heath]

[twin badger]

Also, if driver timeouts do occur, what i do is just roll back to an older version and that does the trick for me

Currently on 22.5.1. As i find it the most stable atm

[lilac heath]

Is there any way to prevent windows from auto updating drivers?

[twin badger]

Uh, there should be a way for sure

It doesnt happen for me anymore tho

[analog wharf]

I am on the newer versions and dont run into many stability issues but if I run into timeouts I'll just DDU. when I first got my gpu, I had a lot of driver timeouts and crashes but the drivers have improved since I first got my 6600xt

[twin badger]

Yea, on launch days the drivers definitely were worse

But thats kinda to be expected

And reinstalling ur drivers takes a driver file, DDU, windows safe mode and maybe 10 minutes of your life

[analog wharf]

Fixes most stability issues so worth it

[twin badger]

Jeez. I checked the lenght of GPU and the case parameters, that card is barely gonna fit - 330 mm max lenght GPU for the case and the GPU itself is 323 mm

[tropic rampart]

Good morning, I have a problem, what happens is that when I enter Rockstargame Launcher to GTA V and select the mode, it crashes for no reason. If someone can help me, thanks :(

[jovial tide]

Sounds pretty frustrating, try deleting the Social Club folder under Documents > Rockstar Games, and then try again

If that doesn't work, head over to #gta-tech-support + explain your problem, someone there will try and help you

[tropic rampart]

Ok, try it, thank you very much for your advice and the truth is that you were very frustrated, like trying 20 times to enter the game, only once and that same minute crashes :(

[twin badger]

Why?

That means the card will fit

Just barely

[lilac heath]

Ik but in future u will have to get a bigger case if u wanna upgrade ur gpu

[jovial tide]

I think GPUs are getting thicker rather than longer

[arctic yarrow]

My note 5 is starting to really show it's age (apps freezing and not functioning properly, battery drains quick, etc), what's a good modern replacement that won't break the bank?

I'm not gonna be gaming on it, and battery life would be the forefront on my mind while still being compatible with most apps.

I'm thinking of getting a galaxy A13, but are there any other suggestions around that price range?

[cold elbow]

A33 or A32 is decent

Very good specs and battery also

[arctic yarrow]

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Smartphone-Long-Lasting-Expandable/dp/B08ZT2R441/

Hmm....

Oh, there's an amazon refurbed one for $150

Screw it, I'm going for it. I can pay off my cc before the end of the month anyway.

Thanks @cold elbow

[twin badger]

Obviously, but its not like i will game on that card for like a year and suddenly decide to change it

The same way i upgraded my PSU for a beefier card, i will upgrade my case

[lilac heath]

Punch hole design is lot better than U notch tho

Get A53 instead imo

Also what's your budget?

[arctic yarrow]

I was looking at around $200, but another community suggested I wait till payday and get the A53 so I cancelled my order.

[lilac heath]

A53 is a much superior phone

[arctic yarrow]

Well, it's a tossup between the A53 and Pixel 6a

[lilac heath]

Or how about S20 FE since u can find it around for the same price

[arctic yarrow]

That's another option but... nah I'll wait till payday.

[arctic yarrow]

Hmm, similar specs.

[lilac heath]

It has all the flagship features

[arctic yarrow]

How's the battery life though?

That's the main thing I'm looking for between the 3

Since they all have similar storage.

And I'm not gaming on it.

[arctic yarrow]

huh. Seems like the s20 is a better option for what I would generally be doing with it.

[lilac heath]

The only thing in which A53 would be better is software updates

[arctic yarrow]

True, but is that really a huge issue?

I'm probably gonna use this phone until it gets so out of date apps crash and perform like trash, like what my note 5 is doing right now.

[lilac heath]

Nah

[arctic yarrow]

7 years is a helluva run.

[twin badger]

Well, as an unfortunate soul, who has an A53, just get an S class

[lilac heath]

7 yrs for a phone is a too much

[twin badger]

Yes, more expensive, but its gonna be better quality, faster

And gonna last you longer

[lilac heath]

Water resistant

[twin badger]

?

Whats water resistant?

[snow rover]

it's a feature for people stupid enough to drop their phone in the toilet or go swimming with it

[lilac heath]

S20 fe

It has ip 68 rating

[arctic yarrow]

Changing a flat while it's raining hard.

[twin badger]

So does A53

[lilac heath]

It has but ip67

Not 68

[twin badger]

Big fucking difference

💀

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I don't primarily look for a phone for the water resistance.

[cold elbow]

I would prefer splash resistance when you use the phone while it's raining.

What would cause my phone's charging to max out at 300 mA regardless of the charger used?

Could the port just be too dirty/corroded?

I've also noticed my battery indicator shows it discharges a lot slower than normal. Maybe it needs to be calibrated.

That would explain the slow charging too if that is the case.

[cold elbow]

Im not sure but u should always keep the ports clean and try to get it near empty then fill it again

That tend to recalibrate batteries

[arctic yarrow]

What about fully empty?

[cold elbow]

Fully empty is not safe for batteries, it might damage it
Tho batteries are designed to not be fully empty or completely full to protect them

Did it work btw?
Forgor to ask since i had some work to do,U need to reset the battery gauge displayed on ur phone aswell
Dial *#0228#
Click on quick start,after that click on ok
Ur phone will turn off for 3-5 seconds and then it will return back to the lock screen

If the % stays the same as before ,then ur battery is fine

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, the percentage stayed the same.

[lilac heath]

If it falls then it means that battery was showing wrong capacity

[arctic yarrow]

Oh wait, what quick start?

Sorry, a little drunk atm

[lilac heath]

U have to dial *#0228#

[arctic yarrow]

ah, capacity dropped to 39%

[lilac heath]

From?

[arctic yarrow]

From 69 (nice)

[lilac heath]

So yea 39% is the real charge lvl

[arctic yarrow]

It's still charging at 300 mA

[lilac heath]

[arctic yarrow]

Well, variable

Down to 120 mA

Port may be fucked.

[lilac heath]

Or maybe the battery aswell

Download AccuBattery app

It will show the battery health

[arctic yarrow]

It says it won't display health status until a full charge is detected.

Maybe I should try scraping the port with a pin or needle.

That did it.

I guess there was either some obstruction or corrosion.

should i be worried

80°c

(while in game)

[light totem]

No as long as ur not experiencing insane frame drop or stutters

[wet bay]

not at all, just a strange blue screen of death i got yesterday

never really stopped to notice the temperature, but just thought it was abnormal given 80°c is a lot

[analog wharf]

80c under load is fine for a gpu

[cold elbow]

It depends on your cooling potential, airflow and fans speed

If all pretty good then u should be a bit worried

[wet bay]

nah they're very basic

and given its an amd gpu id expect it to be a bit hotter than normal, i just really thought 80°c was the start of abnormal temperature

guess its just amd being amd

[cold elbow]

Well check your airflow

In some cases while being gpu bound case fans wont spin fast because they are targeted by the cpu temp

[trail cape]

Solved it, nevermind

[orchid bluff]

If I provided my pc specs, would anyone be able to tell me what I need to upgrade if I sought for a 3080ti?

[light totem]

Ur Monitor

Everything else is good
But 144hz 1080p is kinda holding back the specs

[orchid bluff]

Oh, any monitor suggestions then?

Possibly something along the larger curved ones, I have a dual setup atm

So if I install a 3080ti, no issues besides the monitor then

[snow rover]

550w psu and 3080ti is an uhh

interesting combo

will it work? probably

is it a good idea? probably not

[light totem]

Actually i dont know how well a 550w psu can hold up with a 3080ti

[arctic yarrow]

I'd bump that up to 750w at least personally.

[orchid bluff]

I will have a look at that then too

[analog wharf]

144hz fine, they can use dsr to get it to 4k

[light totem]

But Dsr 4k is
Also with that specs it can handle 240 comfortably on most games
Quite a difference

[analog wharf]

DSR is fine pretty sure

144HZ is more than enough

[light totem]

Better to get an actual native high res monitor
Refresh rate depends on what you’ll mostly be doing but higher cant hurt

[orchid bluff]

I will have a look at these options mentioned and see what suits. Also for the PSU recommendation thanks, not to tech savvy so was wondering on those components to handle the card

[orchid bluff]

Was thinking to get a curved monitor rather then the current dual setup

[light totem]

Preferably get a full modular gold psu

[light totem]

An ultrawide?

[orchid bluff]

Those kinds yes

[light totem]

Ah

[orchid bluff]

Appreciate the suggestions

[light totem]

[analog wharf]

ultrawides

[orchid bluff]

Sorry if that offends you lol

Just a preference

[snow rover]

ultrawides are kinda problematic

most of the budget-midrange ones are VA

and they look fucking terrible

the cheaper IPS ones are usually not curved which is weird for an ultrawide

so basically you have to go high-end or go home

aside the psu which everyone is telling u to get 750, which is like bare minimum, can u show us ur case? i would like to see ur airflow configuration or for a possible fan upgrades, wouldnt want an overheating 3080 ti, i would def invest into a 144hz 2k monitor, 27in is a good single monitor if ur not doing dual screen

5600x wont have a problem with most games on 2k anyways

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bWWBD3/msi-optix-mag274qrf-qd-270-2560x1440-165-hz-monitor-optix-mag274qrf-qd
if u want to ball out, this is what i would choose, although the qc is utterly garbage from what im getting from reviews, this is some top of the line 2k monitor stuff unless u want to get things priced into the stratosphere

prices do drop regularly so i would keep an eye on it, unless ur buying a 3080ti rn, which currently arent really priced well

i would wait till maybe around feb/march to see how the gpus are priced, although cant say for certain that it will get a lot better, maybe 100-200, if u want to be an optimist

[twin badger]

QC is utterly garbage for brands like LG and ASUS too...

Personal experience

[iron lantern]

so its basically nearly for all highend monitors

[twin badger]

High end, low end

Buying a monitor is pure lottery

You dont know what kinda build quality and panel you will get

[scenic flower]

what about those samsung monitors?

they're pretty good

and since dude has a pretty strong rig, he can seek a 4k 120hz monitor

[twin badger]

The VA ones are dogshit

Like G3

[scenic flower]

ah yes

i get what you're saying

[scenic flower]

i think that would be the best option cus 120hz is enough for most people and since his rig can handle 4k then why not

[twin badger]

They have a good contrast, but its pointless, when it actually makes the ghosting and smearing more noticeable

[lost fossil]

my mfw when both my monitors and also my tv are lg

[twin badger]

My LG monitor was almost good, colours were accurate and response times were good, but the issue was with how they applied the anti glare matte layer on it, it made the image look rather fuzzy and grainy

When i got the asus, i didnt had that issue anymore

Nor did i ever encountered it before on other monitors

I am inclined to believe i just had a faulty sample

Its not supposed to be a common issue with that particular model

It basically felt as if a paper texture was all over the panel

[cold elbow]

All the monitors i ever owned were LG and never faced an issue

Maybe it's a recent thing?

its pretty usual for the upload to be crappier from what ive seen

idk why tho

[cold elbow]

Because ISPs only advertise download speeds and save upload for servers and shit

Depends on service tho
I had Xfinity and download is around 140 and upload is 15

Im trying to connect my ps5 to my pc on ds4 using wire but its not showing not sure why?

[light totem]

Did you download the drivers

[vernal bloom]

Which driver

[lapis haven]

are you using ADSL?

[light totem]

Go to settings
Or look up a tutorial or smth

[vernal bloom]

@light totem

[light totem]

Make sure you have the bus driver in the setting downloaded, restart, and press the start on bottom right

[lost fossil]

i don't think you need to do that

is it the latest version of ds4windows?

wait

[light totem]

Yeah

[lost fossil]

press the start button in the bottom right

[light totem]

He prob didnt download the driver to begin with
At least thats what i had to do a year ago

[vernal bloom]

Which one

[light totem]

Eh doesnt rly matter
Just do the recommended

[vernal bloom]

@light totem i downloaded it and followed the instruction

But when i get to connection the controller mine does not show here

I just clicked Playstation Configuration Support in Steam and it works just fine. Just had to update the firmware on the controller. Works with a wire, and with bluetooth.

Granted, I haven't tested with any games outside of steam yet.

It works outside of steam as well, as long as you have steam open.

[junior flax]

ye its membrane lol

i never used mech once

thank you for helping me justify it

cos my membrane imo rn is disadvantage in games

when i test out my grandads who has a mech it feels more responsive and little movements r fastee

Quick question. Within a circuit analysis context, do independent current sources absorb and/or output power?

I assume they do because there has to be a voltage from the surrounding circuit flowing through the current source, and P = V*I

If that's the case, do current sources have a specific polarity, and how would I figure out what the polarity is?

[wispy mesa]

google your laptop, find its max ram, and its recommended speed

identify how much you need

how many slots you have

are you replacing current sticks

or adding

[polar iron]

Replacing

[polar iron]

Ik the max is 32GB, I'm planning to get 16 (2 x 8). and it has 2 slots. And the company is Crucial

Idk the recommend speed tho

[wispy mesa]

Does laptop manufacturer say anything?

What year is the laptop?

[polar iron]

Idk 2020? It's HP 15 notebook

[polar iron]

Nope

[wispy mesa]

Id just go 2666mhz you probably wont notice any difference

HP 15-db1052au to be exact

Ohh it's 2400

[polar iron]

Should I still get the 2666?

[polar iron]

Should I settle with 16 gb or max out 32

[analog wharf]

What do you do

if all you do is gaming ,16 is fine

[open timber]

16 is like the required amount nowadays

32 isnt bad honestly if you can afford it go for it

well thats what I would do anyway

[wispy mesa]

Depends on your budget really

16gb for gaming

32g if youre doing virtual machines, or video editing, 3ds then get 32

jumping off ramp, holding Ctrl will make the front go up and shift will make it go down

I found an NVMe for $70 too btw

pretty good

[polar iron]

It's like 140 dollars where I live

[young flicker]

was gonna buy it until I realized I can't use it

[polar iron]

But yeah that's worth getting imo

If it works for your system

[young flicker]

all it needs is a standard sata cable and sata power cable

and PC part picker says its chill with my motherboard

[snow rover]

that samsung ssd doesn't really seem like a deal to me

70 dollars for 1tb of entry level sata ssd storage really is nothing special

wdym?

I can't afford anything higher

70 was like my limit

[polar iron]

Bruh I'm so scared rn to switch my ram

[snow rover]

I'm just saying it isn't a particularly good deal

[young flicker]

okay then tell me what is a good deal

remember I couldn't get anything nvme

like I'm actually curious what you think

[snow rover]

whether you can get something or not doesn't determine whether it's a good deal or not

i paid 53€ for a 1tb Samsung 980

[young flicker]

well thats an NVMe

disregarding those is my point

I really wanted to get one but I couldn't

[snow rover]

refer to the message above

[arctic yarrow]

Damn, that's really good

then the input wasn't helpful?

my old motherboard actually had an NVMe slot but it got fucked up somehow and when I got it replaced I didn't realize this one didn't have those slots

[polar iron]

Does anyone know how to change the ram speed on HP?

[brave field]

Depends on if HP has locked down the UEFI/BIOS on your motherboard

go in and dig around until you see it. Might be under "overclocking," "tuning," "frequency options," or in a similar location to XMP/AXMP/DOCP

[polar iron]

I think it's locked

There's no option to change

In bios

Are you getting an error?

[polar iron]

No

[polar iron]

There's just not an option to change it in Bios

And I can't run Ryzen master cuz it doesn't support my Ryzen 5

i was looking into getting one when i realized that the mobo would be too tall for the case i have

[arctic yarrow]

That's actually really interesting.

The downside, obviously, would be lack of upgradeability.

For 160 euros that's not terrible

Heatsink application would be stressful I think, need to make sure not to overtighten otherwise you'll crack the die.

[lost fossil]

it has an integrated ihs so it's fine

[arctic yarrow]

Oh, is that what's surrounding the die?

I guess that's similar to a bare die tool that I saw used about 7 years ago.

overtightening on direct die shouldn't be too big of a deal anyway as long as you screw in opposite corners

Could be your just simply not fitting it into the connector properly try fitting it with the laptop upside down, if it has a metal clip for a screw make sure its aligned properly and also there isn't a screw already in the laptop

6900xt is a bargain though

[jovial tide]

A little yeah, it's named tech‐coding-math, last time I checked lua scripts met all three of those criterias.

[jovial tide]

Raspberry pi

[arctic yarrow]

Currently, if you're going for the absolute best of the best, go with an Nvidia RTX 4090 and an Intel Core I9-13900k

Keep in mind, you need a proper power supply unit, a motherboard, some RAM, and some storage.

I'd get a 1000 watt psu if you decide to build a system around those components.

[twin badger]

And you think a partnered server would allow scripts like these?

[arctic yarrow]

It really depends on what you're doing with those lua scripts. It's like asking if python code is allowed here. I can ask about making a video editing tool with python, but I can't ask about making malware with python. Same thing with lua.

[twin badger]

Since he added "or is it banned here", i can only assume hes referring to those cheat lua scripts that mod menus use, otherwise he wouldnt even have the need to mention that

[arctic yarrow]

Oh yeah, anything about making cheats is not allowed here, unless it's cheating on single-player only stuff, which I don't count.

you can install a full not stripped of anything version of windows 11 in this thing's vram and have enough vram left to actually play games

[noble trellis]

Lmao not everyone has tht knowledge/gear to do tht.

[lost fossil]

all you need are over-ear headphones that use a 3.5mm jack on both ends

since that v-moda thing uses a 3.5mm jack to convert any regular headphones with that jack to a headset

[frigid echo]

it's real simple take the headphone cable that it comes with for the headphone - toss into trash.

Take the V moda one and plug it in. Done 😄

[lost fossil]

well i wouldn't toss it into trash ngl

[noble trellis]

That doesn't work if you're going for wireless

[arctic yarrow]

It would be sufficient for GTA, but you're gonna need to replace the PSU on it and get an adapter for the motherboard power connector since the connector is not ATX standard.

Additionally, it's not going to be very futureproofed for more modern titles.

[knotty basin]

what about this, and put an ssd in and a 1650

I would look for a full size desktop at the very least. You're limited to half-height graphics cards with this chassis.

[knotty basin]

i’m gonna have to move it around so that’s why i went with the smaller one

[lost fossil]

i5-6600 is not good for gta, a lot of stutters

see if you can find an option with any i7, they'd have hyperthreading which would be way better

source: trust me bro (actually witnessed bad stutters on a pc with a 6600)

[arctic yarrow]

I recommend saving up more money and building/transplanting into a mini itx chassis.

Something like this:

[lost fossil]

i have a core f1 at work

[arctic yarrow]

I assume no complaints about it, right?

[lost fossil]

the temps are not great which is why it's been without a side panel for all of its time

[arctic yarrow]

Gotcha.

[lost fossil]

but the v1 has a mesh front i think so that should improve temps a lot

that aliexpress board, if all goes well, i'll change my work pc to that one in a different case

[arctic yarrow]

Back in 2015 I did build a stupid small desktop that could accommodate a full size GPU, then sold it to my sis. It used a Silverstone RVZ01B chassis.

[lost fossil]

zzaw c2 i think

[arctic yarrow]

This thing

Core I5-4590, 16gb ram, gtx 770, 3tb hdd, 500gb ssd.

Cost me a good $900 at the time to build, now it's probably worth around $250-300

If that

Kinda crazy to think it's been more than a decade since I built my first high performance gaming pc.

[knotty basin]

price becomes a million dollars for the i7

couldn’t i just put an i7 in it

[lost fossil]

hm

you could

i7-6700 or 6700k

i read some stuff on russian forums about hacking together modded bioses to run 9900k (and other 9th gen cpus ig) on z170

but that's too advanced

[arctic yarrow]

6700k goes for around $100 on ebay currently.

As usual, watch out for scammers there.

Avoid China like the plague.

Not racism, I've just been scammed by about 70-80% of chinese sellers I've bought from.

[lost fossil]

meanwhile here's me buying almost wholesale on aliexpress

[arctic yarrow]

Aliexpress has their share of scammers, but I feel they vet them better.

Chinese sellers on ebay are just statistically more likely to be scammers.

I'm not kidding, one time I purchased a 7700k from them, and it would not work on my motherboard. As a hunch, I tossed it on my z68 motherboard, and it was an I3-2100. The bastard swapped the IHS on me.

[twin badger]

Gets as hot as a microwave aswell

[light totem]

They both use pretty much the same amount of power anyways

[lost fossil]

the a07 case that i have, i like how with the front panel removed, it can fit a gpu of any length

[nova steppe]

I thought you were me for a second

[junior flax]

hey so i just ordered a m.2 nvme 1tb ssd and want to switch my boot drive to that

my boot drive is currently on a samsung 870 evo sata ssd

simply 😂

i mean keeping my files on the 500gb ssd btw

as i cba reinstalling software etc 😭

[cold elbow]

Do u need help here or you just talking?

[lost fossil]

i think he's asking how to move to the big ssd with the lowest amount of effort

the way i've done it historically was using a multiboot usb (strelec ) to load up paragon and use it to clone the drive

[cold elbow]

U don't have to
Samsung own software can do that easily

[lost fossil]

sounds like effort to me

[cold elbow]

And multiboot usb is not effort

[lost fossil]

not to me specifically because i already have one (more than one even)

[cold elbow]

Oleg moment

[junior flax]

yes

[junior flax]

sorry i worded it badly i meant how can i set it as boot drive with the minimum amount of effort

[junior flax]

[snow rover]

interesting how much changing mousepad changed how my speakers sound

[arctic yarrow]

This is so damn tedious

Working on part c rn

[brave field]

clonezillapog

[fervent granite]

Even works with apfs

[pliant lynx]

a sign for me not to get a degree in engineering

nvm i actually did that questions alrdy hate it

[twin badger]

Reminds me of my physics lessons

I was in an engineer oriented class

My Forza Horizon 4 is freezing after 20 mins of playing.
Any fix for this?
I have everything updated

1050Ti

[lost fossil]

don't play fh4

scheiße game

[junior flax]

i put my 5 new fans in (arctic p12) and didnt realise i put them all wrong way

so airflow was... messy

and i used a normal screwdriver so it was fucked getting em in at first

luckily i found a allen key phillips head thing and that did it in 15mins 💀

i spent about 30 putting them all in at first with my dad

im such an idiot

[cold elbow]

Now you are an idiot with excellent fans and airflow

[twin badger]

Play FH5

[chrome mirage]

Thank you so much for your superb support 👍
Forza needs developers like you

[twin badger]

[lost fossil]

actually, don't play fh5 either

it's also scheiße

[junior flax]

👍

[lapis haven]

what am i reading

[twin badger]

Nah, i like it

Also, why tf is there a weird ass narrator voice talking while loading into this game

Turned it off, but why the fuck did it randomly turn on?

[last shard]

So I have 2 spare ram on my old pc could I add it to my current pc? not the same brand btw if that makes a difference, or would it be easier to buy the same brand ram and add it to my pc

[snow rover]

mismatching ram is generally not a good idea, you'll just get lower performance unless you're specifically bound by the amount of ram

[last shard]

so buying new ram is better?

[light totem]

Yes

Or if they are both the same speed and model you can try benchmarking the performance

[last shard]

would it cause issues if I put 1x8 gb ram with my 2x8gb ram?

[light totem]

Idk if that single ram would even register

[fervent granite]

https://tryitands.ee

[arctic yarrow]

You'll be stuck in single-channel mode, so you'll lose some performance

[arctic yarrow]

However all 24gb would be registered.

What are people in a GTA server gon do💀💀

[gritty berry]

polish secret service slacking on job, goes to gta 5 discord server for help

[orchid raptor]

does it depend on where you are in the map?

[lost fossil]

90 degree connectors are great

[sour marsh]

@cold elbow So you got a preferred HDD for 2-4TB?

[chrome mirage]

Nope, its totally random

[cold elbow]

Both wd blue/black and seagate barracuda are alright for general use
There are other types for CCTV and NAS so it depends on your use.

[sour marsh]

just storage

[cold elbow]

Barracuda or wd blue should work just fine

[tawdry flower]

Guys my fps in games has suddenly dropped in my laptop. Gta is not going above 30fps even when my charger is connected. Can someone help. And this is for all games

[chrome mirage]

Hey guys I found a small fix for Cockstar Offline Launcher problem :

Just to go to your browser and type 1.1.1.1 Download the application and run it. It basically acts like a VPN but it isn't exactly a VPN

And most important, it doesn't slow down your internet speed

[dusty crater]

planning on getting a laptop because i dont have space for a desktop, would this be a good one?

[twin badger]

Maybe get a bigger desk

[charred otter]

How much

[dusty crater]
