tbf i kinda dont care

as there is like.. 3 brands for gpu's

[brave field]

AMD would have to continue to shoot themselves in the foot. Paying OEMs like they used to will be a little different when you have this much hype and blind support from most consumers. Plus, the semi-custom deals with the consoles

[jade pivot]

3 brands is good for consumers, 2 isnt

they wasted so much potential with server cpu marketshare during corona

[rose yacht]

isnt like ryzen epyc better than intels?

(i am not into server specs so i have no idea)

[jade pivot]

enterprise adoption is slow, you want reliable stuff for businesses

and the cpus were a bit wonky at times

enterprise pcs/laptops as well

i specced out intel laptops at 100-200 bucks more just because they were certified for applications

and managing both intel/amd drivers in big corps is a major pain

[cold elbow]

Don't be worried about radeon because only radeon can kill radeon
They dont have to worry because they are the makers of the consoles GPUs
That's sony,xbox and steamdeck.

[jade pivot]

xbox would be the first to switch if intel can bring out a comparable proprietary platform for consoles

[cold elbow]

Wellllll

[jade pivot]

and consoles are just a small slice compared to the pc market

[cold elbow]

Amd doesn't only provide the gpu

[jade pivot]

hence why i said platform

[cold elbow]

And they have years of experience

[jade pivot]

intel has been producing small and proprietary all in ones for years as well

check out the intel NUCs

[cold elbow]

It's pretty cool but also pretty expensive

[jade pivot]

which is probably the main reason they havent been prevalent in the console market

[twin badger]

Those are small power efficient mini PC's, not sure how those are comparable to consoles

[jade pivot]

you just summed up what a console is

[cold elbow]

well no

[jade pivot]

they're all x64

[cold elbow]

they come with separate GPU which defeats the purpose of a console SOC

[twin badger]

Well, then riddle me this - why are they not used in consoles?

[brave field]

The console chips always seem to be some mobile-derived low clock bins

[jade pivot]

as stated above, probably the price

[twin badger]

I dont recall seeing an intel powered console before

Thats not the kinda market intel seems to be targetting

[jade pivot]

we'll see

right now they're going into the gpu market at a loss to get market share

[twin badger]

I know theres cars that actually have intel chips

but thats about it

[twin badger]

The more competitors - the better

I am only for intel entering the market

Of course, it will take some time before they truly become a good alternative, but those days are not that far away, if they keep at it

[jade pivot]

yes, but i'd wish they could go against higher end gpus first. that's where it hurts nvidia

[twin badger]

You cant just release a high end GPU when starting out on GPU market

[jade pivot]

hence why it's a wish

[twin badger]

That kinda stuff also would probably take huge investments

[cold elbow]

Low end is what hurts nvidia the most because that's the type of gpus that are actually selling
Check steam hardware survey.

[dim ruin]

anyone know how to solve ?

[jade pivot]

nvidia is going hard into the enterprise market. they made record profit with their enterprise GPUs due to the AI boom. that's where the money is right now

people are gobbling up high end gpus for their chatgpt training

[jade pivot]

yes

[snow rover]

same

the answer is 2.9

[twin badger]

Never really understood that survey. Why is the most used AMD card on that list simply called "AMD radeon graphics"...?

[cold elbow]

They asked how

[snow rover]

ipgu

[jade pivot]

they asked if we knew how to solve it

[cold elbow]

I remember seeing the 580 there

[twin badger]

You wanna say the most used GPU from AMD from gamers is an iGPU...?

[snow rover]

yes

[twin badger]

That just doesnt make sense to me

considering that they are the ones with the budget offerings

[cold elbow]

Apus

[twin badger]

and thats what most people buy

[jade pivot]

amd laptops cheaper than intel

could be entry level gaming laptops

[cold elbow]

And more efficient

[twin badger]

They usually come with nvidia cards, and if they do have an amd card on them, i dont think they would be called "amd radeon graphics"

[jade pivot]

why would a stock amd laptop with integrated graphics use an nvidia card

[twin badger]

Somehow a fucking GT 1030 has a higher user increase than a 6700 XT

Now, how would that make any sense in 2023

[snow rover]

i think you underestimate nvidia's market share

[jade pivot]

radeon was a fart in the jar when the gt 1000 series sold

[twin badger]

That doesnt matter, who the fuck uses a 2 GB garbage like 1030 in 2023?

Thats my point here

[snow rover]

many people who need a video out and not much more

[jade pivot]

you can still run current games with a 1060

[twin badger]

theres no debate about the 1060

pascal was a great architecture

[twin badger]

Yeah, but for gamers...?

[lost fossil]

back in the gcn days, they were called "amd r9 series graphics" regardless of the gpu, could be a 280, could be a 295x2

same with r7/r5

i think

[twin badger]

So it could be just a bunch of cards being labelled under one category?

Which yeah, would make more sense

[lost fossil]

damn

gta 5 is older than these cards

[snow rover]

when the amd amd

[jade pivot]

by a few months

[jade pivot]

early 2k10 amd cards made me switch back to nvidia gpus

[twin badger]

Yeah, and thats the kinda mindset people have about AMD cards

because surely a decade old card will behave the same as current day one

[snow rover]

i am waiting to cross paths with a reasonably priced 6900xt or 6950xt

[twin badger]

Shouldnt take long

[lost fossil]

i had an r9 290, it was gud

i also had an r9 fury x, it was also gud

[jade pivot]

i replaced my radeon with a gtx 980 because pretty much every game i played had driver issues

[twin badger]

My first dedicated card was a 270x, it had its own issues with drivers, but besides that i had some great memories with that card

[jade pivot]

amd cpus were great tho, i rocked that phenom 2 x4

[twin badger]

Depends

there was a time in early 2000's when AMD CPU's were good

[snow rover]

yeah let's just forget bulldozer entirely

[twin badger]

As soon as i heard about it, it already became obsolete and irrelevant

[frigid echo]

My first one was an ATI hd 4870

[twin badger]

ATI

damn

what a dinosaur

[frigid echo]

Right lol

I called it big red but it served me well up until games started to demand more than a gig of vram

[twin badger]

Honestly, as long as you keep your expectations at reasonable levels, pretty much any PC can be a gaming PC

thats coming from me playing from systems with a 1 core cpu

[twin badger]

I kinda like the old card designs, some of em had those goofy 3D women on the shroud

[frigid echo]

Ya lol ATI had a mascot called Ruby

[twin badger]

Oh yea

damn, what a chick

[twin badger]

I am sure she was a great marketing material for ATi

[lost fossil]

i had a 4870 too

[frigid echo]

Nice, a heck of a card

[lost fossil]

bought with allowance and lunch money

[twin badger]

i got my 270x for free

a relative already had a 2060 at the time, so it was useless for them

that was about 4 years ago

[civic forge]

Yall is linux good like rn? I have garuda dragonized gaming edition flashed to my usb, just deciding wheter i should switch from win10 to linux

[coral marlin]

go into the tech source discord server and they will lay out 100 facts

why intel is better

[jade pivot]

so you're saying you just regurgiate opinions of others without knowing why

[coral marlin]

i did not ask just one person

i ask arpund 20 people and they all gave the same responce

they said intel is better for the money but if you have alot of money for cpu like 400+ go for amd

[cold elbow]

[lilac heath]

[rose yacht]

You need a shit ton of coding experience to run linux and or install vms and shit

Wait until win10 is not being supported

[jade pivot]

what kind of linux do you run that requires years of experience

[rose yacht]

[jade pivot]

i can teach my grandma to install mint/ubuntu in less than 10 minns

[rose yacht]

All i know it needs a lot of coding

[jade pivot]

it doesnt

unless you go full send with arch and install the libs manually

[civic forge]

You probably havent used linux based from what you're saying...

[rose yacht]

Well yea, as I have never needed to

[jade pivot]

installing a VM on windows also takes 20 clicks tops

[rose yacht]

Thats what I’ve heard from a yt which uses linux and win10 vm to play games

[civic forge]

I don't have any problems with coding, it's just that I'm not ready to let go some of my games that isn't supported on linux. And also giving linux to my 10yr old laptop might be okay as it is running slow already

[jade pivot]

youtubers embellish stuff for clicks

it's like taking medical advice from discord randoms

[civic forge]

I've asked ton of people already and I am just not satisfied with their answers lol

[jade pivot]

make a backup of your win, get a separate hdd or sth

the steam linux proton is basically made for gaming

sorry, it's called SteamOS actually

test it out. if you dont like it, switch back

[fervent granite]

cap

[twin otter]

Hey guys I wanna start learning coding what are the minimum requirements for a pc/laptop

[jade pivot]

what do you want to learn

[twin otter]

The language?

[jade pivot]

there's hundreds, which one

[twin otter]

Python then c++

[fervent granite]

no harm in sticking with windows

[jade pivot]

any pc capable ofrunning a youtube video without bursting in flames will do fine

[twin otter]

Oh

Well that's relieving

[fervent granite]

their ide's tell you their system requirements if you google them

[jade pivot]

the requirements are basically nil until you try to do some weird stuff like ai learning

[twin otter]

That checks out

My sister does that and has destroyed like 3 laptops

[jade pivot]

[fervent granite]

that's actually cap ngl

[jade pivot]

it's been three years, where is the KFC bucket PC

with a builtin oven for the wings

[rose yacht]

I mean

Technically speaking if someone to theoretically use both the pc and fryer/over or whatever it was.. the pc would die

[lost fossil]

technically speaking, look at the amd 4700s kit

for the kfpc, we need an amd apu with actually decent graphics

[jade pivot]

they made some insane promises with their kfconsole back then

https://landing.coolermaster.com/kfconsole/

[twin badger]

You could definitely fool a console pleb with those claims, not sure about a PC user

[jade pivot]

technically its easily doable, the price tho

[rose yacht]

while it could be plausible, the temps inside would not be good

[lilac heath]

Still better than gaming laptops

[junior flax]

just stick a 13900k in there and when u want to heat ur wings just go on cinebench

[rose yacht]

lol

[lilac heath]

And 4090

[junior flax]

🙏

[jade pivot]

average pc hovers around 60-80 degrees anyway, probably can keep the wings warm via pc parts

also heat goes up

and then theres 3090/4090 with operating temperature of 110

[rose yacht]

isnt like

oils boiling point above 110 degrees?

[twin badger]

Not sure when that was considered an optimal operating temperature

Also, these cards have overbuilt coolers for a reason

[jade pivot]

idk about oil, but my 3090 used to thermal bluescreen my CPU because those vram on the backplate produce an insane amount of heat

[twin badger]

and they are 4 slot cards

[rose yacht]

jesus my corsair case can barely fit my 3070 (had to remove 1 of the fans)

[twin badger]

Must be one small ass case

[jade pivot]

i had to reseat the card on a x8 slot because it was the furthest away

[twin badger]

a 3070 shouldnt be that large

[rose yacht]

220T

apparently its 35% smaller than a standard mid-tower

[junior flax]

i have a 2080 super and if i touch the backplate its insane how hot it is

im thinkign of rigging a heatsink to it or something

😂

[hazy monolith]

finally after months of waiting i am able to buy myself a 3060

[twin badger]

Cool

[cold elbow]

Make sure not to get the 8gb version

[rose yacht]

@hazy monolith get the 16 gig or whatever was the 3060 model

or the 3060 ti

[twin badger]

Thats 4060ti

3060 has 8 and 12 gb models

[twin badger]

And yes, as melon said, please dont get the 8 gb version

Its priced nearly the same and performs worse

Not just in terms of the VRAM, but also the halved memory bandwidth

Just another nvidia budget card moment

[rose yacht]

3060/4060 🤝 rx7600

[twin badger]

At least the 7600 is somewhat appropiately priced

Yes, its 8 gb, but its going well below 300

And for that price thats about what you can expect for now. Or you can go with 6700/6700xt

Although, you miss out on AV1 encode/decode

And potentially inferior raytracing performance (albeit no one would realistically use that on a card with 8 gb's of VRAM anyways)

Both companies have released rather mediocre products this year though, too expensive for what they offer.

I would personally be interested on a 4070ti, if it wouldnt be damn near a thousand bucks

3070/3070ti 12 gb

[rose yacht]

i bought the 3070 around 2k local

[twin badger]

A 12 gb version would be an instant top seller

(Given its appropiately priced, lets say 50 bucks more)

[rose yacht]

nvidia: 🤨

[twin badger]

I mean, 4060ti 8 gb is 400, 16 gb is 500, so 8 gb is 100

Thus 4 gb more would be 50

Math checks out

[twin badger]

128-bit card for 500 btw

[hazy monolith]

my cpu isnt good enough for a better gpu

[hazy monolith]

yeah i alr know that the 8gb version is crap

[twin badger]

Which one is it?

[hazy monolith]

ryzen 5 5600g

my current gpu is a gtx 1650

[twin badger]

It could potentially handle a 3070

[hazy monolith]

maybe

[twin badger]

Its worse than 5600, but not by that much

[hazy monolith]

i am only choosing the rtx 3060 because it can handle 1080p gaming better than 1440p

and my monitor is only displaying 1080p so choosing a better gpu for 1440p wouldnt make sense for me

plus i have a tight budget

[cold elbow]

Look in the used market then

[rose yacht]

do NOT go to userbenchmark

[junior flax]

wdym isn't userbench mark the best for comparing cpus

not like it doesn't rate the overall part on its rgb

[rose yacht]

heavy bias towards intel

[arctic yarrow]

They shill hard for intel, to the point where they skew the numbers heavily

[junior flax]

( I was being sarcastic)

jus wanna make it clear lol

I wish there were more then just 2 companies in both the cpu and gpu industry

ik Intel gpus r OK but nvidia+amd got a mf monopoly

[arctic yarrow]

I'd say intel has a solid hold on the mid-tier market rn for their GPUs

[junior flax]

ye I like that

I'm sticking with my 2080 super for another generation or so atleast

[hazy monolith]

used? what a nice joke

[cold elbow]

So u think buying a card for half the price is a joke
You do you

[wet bay]

is it normal for my GPU drivers to very very randomly stop working at times for no apparent reason?

i have an AMD gpu so that partially is a known issue but

even with PRO drivers (which i believe are the ones which are meant to be the most stable) that odd problem happens

and its completely random like i alt tab and it crashes

sometimes puts me under a safe mode and doesnt let me deactivate it unless i update/reinstall my drivers

is it just normal amd activity or can be a problem like overheating?

[lost fossil]

it could be a gpu issue

i had an amd 6800xt that kept giving me all sorts of issues

i also have an amd 6600m that works like a charm

if you haven't yet, try to uninstall drivers usng ddu and install the fresh whql ones

[wet bay]

whql?

ive had a problem with drivers recently so i installed the pro ones, but i didnt use DDU to uninstall which i think can cause more problems

like i went to the little app manager app thing that i forgot the name, did a rollback to 2006 microsoft driver and installed new PRO ones

also, i had adrenalin drivers so

yikes

[lost fossil]

basically whql means they're verified and guaranteed to work (not a 100% guarantee)

[wet bay]

but where could i find these however

[lost fossil]

on the amd website

[wet bay]

are they not the PRO ones which amd has released

[lost fossil]

they're marked as whql or non-whql right there

and yeah use ddu to do a fresh start

[wet bay]

i cant find anything related to WHQL in amd site

also

i think they do not even release individual driver versions

im not sure how it works

the only thing i could find was the softwares

which then you install the drivers

[lost fossil]

if you use an archiver such as 7zip, you can use it to unpack the downloaded exe and use the windows device manager to install the drivers manually without the software

[wet bay]

oh adrenalin

[lost fossil]

though from my experience it doesn't help with issues so might as well install the whole thing

[wet bay]

doesnt AMD itself says that PRO edition is generally more stable for normal users? i've been using the adrenalin drivers since 2020 and the very same problem keeps happening

that is these random crashes

[lost fossil]

[wet bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1010913657456164885.webp?size=96&quality=lossless

damn

[lost fossil]

i mean u could try using the pro drivers, just ddu first

[wet bay]

fack i should've done DDU first but i didnt

[lost fossil]

who knows maybe it's some leftovers from the old adrenalin drivers that cause issues

[wet bay]

its likely

ill take a look into DDU later, thanks for the advice

however i truly think its just amd being amd

grrrr

[twin badger]

Just switch to an older version

[wet bay]

I'm currently using pro which are from 2022

[twin badger]

Yes, you might potentially lose on a tiny bit of a performance on certain titles, but its worth it imo

[twin badger]

You should probably get something more recent

[wet bay]

Yes but then the only option is adrenalin

[twin badger]

23.4.1 is probably your best bet

[wet bay]

And I'm not sure if adrenalin automatically updates itself but they're always the newest drivers

[twin badger]

23.4.2 and 23.4.3 has some weird issue with the driver crashing on a browser

[twin badger]

You can set it not to automatically update

[wet bay]

Well i did crash twice while using chrome

But then it happened when i was with pro ones
I'm gonna try DDU and then pro again

[twin badger]

Nah, just get 23.4.1

that one seems stable

no browser crashes with that one

at least from my end

[wet bay]

How do you install a particular version?

It's inside the software yeah

[twin badger]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-4-1

[wet bay]

Alright

[wet bay]

Will try it soon, thanks

[wet bay]

do you know which error that is?

i did a bit of research and found out that some browsers are crashing (im not sure if this is any related to the GPU drivers themselves) due to a DCOM error or issue

which could theorically explain why my pc crashed twice while using chrome

and the same article mentions CSLID errors, i also had CSLID errors but im not sure if they're identical or smth like that

also appears to be a problem related to windows itself having trouble with videos (any form, be it inside chrome or .mp4s and wahetver)

[twin badger]

Neither of those errors seem to have any connection to the issues with GPU though

Not that i am seeing

[twin badger]

Thats most likely MPO, which yes, is known to cause issues even with things like gifs

That one i encountered quite soon after i got my current GPU

And its a super quick fix

one registry edit and its gone

[wet bay]

omaga

yeah at some point my pc would very randomly crash upon loading any short of video

sometimes inside my browser sometime inside my files

so idk

[twin badger]

Mine used to just flicker at random facebook advertisement gifs

thats how i noticed

then boom, after the quick registry fix it has been gone for good

And i should probably add that this is exclusively another microsoft fuckup, both amd and nvidia are prone to this issue

[twin badger]

[spiral jasper]

I'm looking to buy these 4

And a used 3070 for 300€

Would you guys have any recommendations for something potentially cheaper and better at the same time?

[lost fossil]

check the pins

@cold elbow

[cold elbow]

Der8auer just pointed out that the 4060 ti only has 8x pcie lanes

[snow rover]

i would not buy that case

[spiral jasper]

Why not

[snow rover]

doesn't look like it has any airflow

[spiral jasper]

Cooling?

[snow rover]

also a 360 aio for a 5600 is completely overkill

a cheap tower cooler is perfectly fine

[spiral jasper]

Oh don't worry the thing that glows in the from is some kind of filter that passes light

Thats why it glows

It's actually very good and doesn't look awful

[spiral jasper]

It's the cheapest in the store that I'm buying in

And I can use it in the future

If I do upgrade to a inferno cpu

[spiral jasper]

And the gray panel on front can be taken off

[cold elbow]

It sounds like you are set on your decision and dont need us

[spiral jasper]

I was hoping you could recommend some motherboards

[cold elbow]

If u drop that cooler and get a cheaper motherboard then you will be able to afford better important parts like PSU, GPU or CPU.

Or maybe more storage

[spiral jasper]

I have a evga supernova 750 for the psu

How about this cooler

It's cheaper

And more fps

How about this mb

Or this?

[lilac heath]

Get a GPU which has atleast 12gb vram

Or 16

[spiral jasper]

I will try but it will be difficult not to break the bank

[cold elbow]

Get the non rgb version of that and 240mm not 280

[cold elbow]

Also this is a good board

U can get cheaper b450 if you want to but u lose PCIe gen 4

[quartz kayak]

No rgb = -20 fps on average

[spiral jasper]

What's the difference between the rgb and the non rgb ver

[cold elbow]

Cheaper

[spiral jasper]

This one is actually cheaper

Since its a used product being resaled

Nvm

I'm gonna get the factory new

ugreen is cheap and has good reviews

and their eu store has free shipping

can any usb-c cable do full 65w?

Yep

100w 5a cable is what you'll want

[lost fossil]

ugreen is good chifi, i recomen

[snow rover]

high fidelity charging

[lost fossil]

a barebones type c cable will only do 5v 2.4a max, u need one of these fancy cables that can communicate with a pd charger

at least that's what i've heard

[snow rover]

bollocks

[jade pivot]

oreo is right tho, USB C just specifies a minimum of 3A 20v

[snow rover]

which is very different from 2.4a 5v

i have made a purchase

hopefully it doesn't burn my house down

[jade pivot]

65w is on the lower end, the official spec goes to 100

[snow rover]

i don't need anything higher

[jade pivot]

the power draw gets handled out dynamically, there is no risk of frying your devices

[snow rover]

i am well aware

[sharp idol]

Good choice

[jade pivot]

the new 240W usb-c spec has a bad habit of arcing tho

sounds fun

[brave field]

what on earth

wouldn't it need to do some sort of data handshake before it jumps up to 240W?

[jade pivot]

yes, same as regular

it does arc when you pull out tho

At least GPU was around 70C
And it was the Ryzen version.

In other words, enough to break that stand

not just slide

it will crush him

he needs some dumbells

[twin badger]

You can fit only so much in a tight space like that tbh

Like, if he had to set that weightlifting stand next to the bed, i can imagine he doesnt have a lot of space in his room

Also, i realized that this is more of a #memes-and-shitposting post

than #tech-coding-math

[spiral jasper]

4060ti or 3080?

Also considering price

[twin badger]

If they are the same price, obviously 3080

Though the 3080 does consume more power

I am talking 2x

[quartz kayak]

show us ur prices.

[spiral jasper]

4060ti wiping the floor

I think its decided

[quartz kayak]

1k ☠️

Criminal

[twin badger]

Goofy ahh prices

[fervent granite]

Nah they meant $1.05

[junior flax]

539 for a 4060 ti

bruh

everywhere in UK it's £400

Well most online

[cold elbow]

U shouldn't spend more than 300 on that POS

[jade pivot]

[jovial tide]

[rose yacht]

both 8 gigs

😔

[lost fossil]

get 2 to have 16

[twin badger]

Oh boy, it better not make Opera GX shit itself upon each launch after a reboot

[jovial tide]

is GX even good, or is it one of those gimmicks? I keep seeing yters I watch get sponsored by it

[twin badger]

Its alright

Fast enough for me

[lost fossil]

i have to stay on 23.3.1 because amdumb disabled perf tuning of mobile chips in 23.3.2 and up

[twin badger]

I did tried firefox, because a lot of people recommended it, but i didnt liked the way the scrolling felt

so i went back to GX

[twin badger]

New driver releases of AMD is like playing with fire at this point

Ive had to revert to an older version multiple times

Also, AMD seems to have this issue with CSGO loading times

like, the first time it loads up fine, less than 20 secs

then after that the loading times increase to like a minute, as if i was playing on some old ass hard drive

And i did find a thread of people to this day having an issue with that

Apparently the only solution is to enable ReLive

Ugh, AMD... you can do better

Nope, the drivers still shit themselves in 23.5.1.

when opening Opera GX

[snow rover]

the amd experience

[twin badger]

Its either this or forking out all my savings for team green

I'll see how 24.3.1. behaves again

Ok so

oddly enough, the display corruption doesnt happen with Chrome

which is based on Chromium, just like Opera GX

so it might just be an Opera GX issue

Welp, Firefox or Chrome it is then

see ya, GX, was nice knowing you

Yea nvm

I take it back, happened again with Chrome

[spiral jasper]

Well this isn't the UK

And its a asus graphics card so ofc its a higher price

[spiral jasper]

Buy me one 😳

I'll pay shipping and all

[languid narwhal]

So are the 4060s good after all

[twin badger]

No

Pretty shit, it's like a 5-10% difference compared to last generation 30 series

[rose yacht]

4060 = 3060 or something like that

[jovial tide]

Uhh......what should I do?

[rose yacht]

tried restarting?

if you did (and did a power cycle) it looks like your gpu on the console(?) is dying

[jovial tide]

I'm on PC

Ill try restarting first

This has happened in the past, so I'm not exactly sure what else I could do besides a driver reset

[rose yacht]

either a faulty driver

or gpu is saying sayonara

[jovial tide]

I hope not...I just got this thing late last year

[twin badger]

That does kinda look like a dying GPU, but i don't want to make assumptions just based on one video

Does this happen in other games?

[jovial tide]

It's been a while since it happened, but in most instances, it happened just on the desktop

This is the first it happened on Judgment

Like sometimes when I booted up my PC, it would do it

[twin badger]

Yeah.. havent had that kinda stuff happen on 3 different amd cards

[jovial tide]

Really hope it's not the signs of a dying gpu....I really don't have money for another one

[jade pivot]

replug the monitor cable

[twin badger]

I'll mail you my old one

[sharp idol]

Make sure its not overheating, you should be able to RMA it if neccesary, long as you havent tinkered with it.

[twin badger]

Doubt overheating could cause that kind of effect

Also, that card is less than 200W, good luck overheating it to such degree

[zenith turret]

on windows 11 csgo takes like 10 min to show the intro webm

on win 10 it loads in 20 sec

can anyone send me this api-ms-win-core-console-l3-2-0.dll in dm?

i need it for spotify and can't find any fixes online

[lost fossil]

open the start menu search bar and type winver and hit enter

what is your version of windows

[zenith turret]

1607

worked fine before i installed .net_framework 4.8

[lost fossil]

a post on the internet says that 1607 is way too old

[zenith turret]

not true because spotify ran fine before i installed .net framework 4.8

[zenith turret]

clicking the update button doesn't do jackshit for me lol

[lost fossil]

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/api-ms-win-core-console-l3-2-0-dll-is-missing/td-p/5580471

For those that don't want to upgrade windows, I simply went onto the spotify download page and downloaded an older version. I went for windows 8
https://www.spotify.com/uk/download/other/
Seemed to work for me

[zenith turret]

i downloaded both windows 10 and 7 versions and none of them work

[zenith turret]

on windows 7 both windows 10 and 7 versions of spotify work fine

[lost fossil]

use system restore to roll back to before installing .net 4.8 or something

[zenith turret]

now i get a different error

[lost fossil]

also

[zenith turret]

how do i turn it? its grayed out??

oh nvm dumb ass me thought my win 10 partition was the C drive 🤣

huh?

[brave field]

Since the desktop app is mostly a web browser, would the webapp in a browser tab work for you?

[sharp idol]

Yeah what do I know. Sorry, how silly of me for trying to help

[wispy mesa]

It’s probably the monitor

[jovial tide]

It did this on my other monitor too prior to getting my new one, so doubt

[wispy mesa]

try change the display cable

[twin badger]

Chill out

[spiral jasper]

Which one

Glorious is 113€

[lost fossil]

glorious

[sharp idol]

I'm chill I just don't understand why you dismissed my advice to the guy like that.

[cold elbow]

113 for a mouse 💀

[twin badger]

I didnt dismiss it, i pointed out that overheating doesnt just cause issues like that

[sharp idol]

gpus artifacting can be caused by overheating, not always but it's easy place to start

[cold elbow]

That's usually an indication to bad memory

GPUs throttle their speeds if they're overheating

[sharp idol]

I mean the overheating can cause damage to the card that causes the artifacting, at that point its a GG card

I've been doing it for a living for the past 10 years, its just what i'd normally firstly look into when artifacting is present

[jade pivot]

that's not what artifacting looks like

it's a loose/shitty monitor cable most likely

but i only do computer stuff for 8 years, so what do i know

[sharp idol]

Actually now that i look back at the video, yeah you're right that aint artifacting, oops I thought i seen some of the actual graphics being spewed around

No need to worry about the gpu dieing then

[quartz kayak]

Imo both brands are kinda meh

But i d prefer razer since their costumer support is pretty solid

Also if ur buying a glorious 100+ is alot

Imo

[spiral jasper]

Shameful prices

[twin badger]

Theres a temperature limit on GPU's for a reason

At which they start throttling to not go over their limits

[sharp idol]

[cold elbow]

What they are saying also make sense because temperature sensors are usually on the GPU cores
Memory doesn't get throttled therefore lead to issues
Extreme temp for along time moght cause harm especially when your core is cold but one of the Memory chips missing a thermal pad...

This doesn't apply to all GPUs tho.

Les goo

where

[wet bay]

I'm currently learning probability, and this was one of the last questions I've made in order to learn it, could someone tell me if this would be considered a easy, medium or hard difficulty question?

"
A school has 1000 students, out of these:
800 study math
180 study physics
200 study chemistry
20 study math, physics and chemistry
50 study math and physics
50 study physics and chemistry
70 study ONLY chemistry

A single student is randomly chosen, what is the probability of the student study:
A) ONLY math
B) math and chemistry
C) ONLY math and chemistry
"

[junior flax]

my friends once started artifacts he let it cool down for an hour and no more

[rapid lake]

It’s definitely not hard, it’s not the easiest to solve but it isn’t "medium" difficulty either

[wet bay]

If we are talking about math only, not including the logic behind of it

It would be an easy?

[rapid lake]

Proba is generally pretty simple, you just need to understand and memorise when to use which formula etc

Yeah it doesn’t take lots of thinking to figure out

[wet bay]

This exercise doesn't take use more than 1 formula

Only the % out of 1000 students

Answers should be
A)67%
B)10%
C)8%

Ratchet and Clank is gonna be a benchmark for a while

all those features "only possible on PS5" + DLSS3, FSR2.3.4 or whatever, Intel XeSS, and their own temporal injection

plus I think it's done by Nixxes and not the studio that bombed TLOU and such

[rose yacht]

amen

[lost fossil]

interesting format, considering that a lot of itx cases have the space on the side to extend the board in that direction

[rose yacht]

vga

havent seen mobos with it in a while

[lost fossil]

i don't get it

what is the point of having a cutout in the slot if there are caps in the way that would prevent longer slot devices from being installed anyway

[wispy mesa]

Lol

[cold elbow]

You welcome

[jade pivot]

how do you fit a 4090 on those boards tho

[lost fossil]

[zenith turret]

i have never seen phone idle use that much battery with no wifi or location enabled

[lost fossil]

samsung galaxy s2 moment

[zenith turret]

this is a alcatel lol

[lost fossil]

alcatel
basically same thing

before i ended up switching from the s2, at times it would drain the battery in 6 hours by doing absolutely nothing

[zenith turret]

my j3 2017 has a broken home button and i can't reflash the stock rom because of it

well i technically had the stock rom the entire time.. i tried to install a kernel that supposedly works on android 9 and it turns out it doesn't

mutant kernel v4 j330fn

[cold elbow]

Android was a mess back then
But ios was kinda empty and locked down so we didn't have a choice

I remember rooting my s3 and disabling a lot of apps or prevent them from running in background.
That made it faster and gave it longer battery life.

[zenith turret]

2550 rsd for 24 months

great offer from my carrier

[cold elbow]

We only speak USD here

[zenith turret]

roughly around 25 bucks a month

i'll most likely get this phone since it looks really good and specs wise its great

and i'll probably root it after my warranty expires

[zenith turret]

or maybe more idk

[cold elbow]

that's like 600$ total

holly shit

[zenith turret]

yeah

[cold elbow]

phone cost like what 300$

[zenith turret]

yeah and extended warranty

[cold elbow]

meh

ripoff imo

[zenith turret]

• the bills for my phone number

so yeah 600 or more

[cold elbow]

yeah cant be 300

unless you guys have awful plans

[zenith turret]

awful currency

🇷🇸 the land of no money

that's what most people call it tho

[cold elbow]

when i was in turkey which had awful economy back then i was able to sub for 6 months to only pay around 25$

[spiral jasper]

Which one (I heard that gigabyte products tend to die)

[cold elbow]

TUF cards are good tbh

[zenith turret]

a sus

[spiral jasper]

I know

[cold elbow]

and way better looking

[spiral jasper]

And they look better

[zenith turret]

asus

[cold elbow]

also

fuck gigabyte

[zenith turret]

fuck shitabyte

[spiral jasper]

But its a 3080 for 80$ more

[cold elbow]

also

why u buying a 3070 instead of a 6800 / 6800 xt

[zenith turret]

my friend bought a mobo from gigabyte and it came to him broken. the pins we're bent on the socket

[spiral jasper]

I'm biased

[cold elbow]

hi biased

[spiral jasper]

I don't understand amd cards

[cold elbow]

its a card

u plug it in

and it works

[zenith turret]

i have a rx 570 its fine but radeon software is fucking hillariously bad

[spiral jasper]

Idk the ranking with them

[cold elbow]

no issues im facing so far

[spiral jasper]

Which one is better and which one is worse

[cold elbow]

6800 xt = 4070 ti

and better or equal to 3080

but

[spiral jasper]

Price?

[cold elbow]

a lot more VRAM

price is for you to discover

i got it cheaper than a 3070

[spiral jasper]

I'll check noe

795€

In the local tech store

[cold elbow]

that's TOOO MUCH

anyway if you wanna pick between the two that you sent then def a 3080

[spiral jasper]

Ik

I'm looking at ebay

[cold elbow]

butttt

its only 10GB

[spiral jasper]

Not a big issue

[cold elbow]

for now

[zenith turret]

i can give them 2 old phones to recycle which gives me a discount of 10k rsd or around 90bucks (1 phone 10k rsd discount. second phone also 10k rsd discount so 180 euro discount)

[cold elbow]

awesome

but

can u like give them the phones and get the money

[zenith turret]

no

[cold elbow]

not buying another one from them

which means u can flip these phones for more

[zenith turret]

i like my carrier. haven't had any issues with them except for my simcard being damaged which was easily resolved

the sim card wasn't even 2 months old and it started to crap out. slow as hell speeds. barely 4g signal

[spiral jasper]

Found one for 500@cold elbow

Not including shipping

Asus tuf

[zenith turret]

a sus tuf guy

[cold elbow]

an XT?

[spiral jasper]

Yes

Screw you US

If I do get this it will be cheaper than a 4060ti I saw at a local store

[cold elbow]

this aint a refurb, this is new

[snow rover]

I'm looking to buy a 6900xt around 500€

[trail cape]

This is a transformer

It says NS-6-12-01 on it, does anyone have any idea what that means? I've searched on alldatasheet.com and tried googling it but I haven't been able to find anything

[frigid echo]

Ns probably a manufacturer? Hard to say. As for 6/12/01 very likely manufacturer date

[trail cape]

Also, is anyone here able to tell me what type of a diode this is?

[trail cape]

Yeah I would've thought so too, however it also says NS on the circuit board

Or SN

[frigid echo]

What Is the device by the way?

[trail cape]

You can see the SN/NS on this picture

[trail cape]

LED lamp controller most likely

When I was on a walk yesterday I came across an LED lamp just lying on the ground with this circuit attached and few cables

It looked like one of those LED lamps that'd be mounted in the ground to shine up

Apart from resistors, capacitors and diodes there's also a phototransistor and a rectifier

And one more IC with 8 pins, however it's covered up by a huge capacitor, so I'm unable to see the markings on it

[sour sparrow]

It’s probably something like 555-timer IC if it’s an LED circuit

[dim grove]

I love reading about stuff I can’t understand it’s so interesting

[scarlet jay]

Real

[wary pawn]

It can be manufacturer name, like NorthStar etc.

[wispy mesa]

Looks like a generic zener diode hard to tell what volt pass rating is without having it on me.

[wispy mesa]

Can you send a picture of the entire board, both sides?

[trail cape]

Ooh, dealt with that before

@wispy mesa

Do LED lamps operate on AC or DC?

[wispy mesa]

can be both

[wispy mesa]

can you read the letters on this

[trail cape]

That's just a rectifier

MB10M

Already looked it up on alldatasheet

[trail cape]

I bent the capacitor a little

21018K
DK112L
T 25

That's what it says on the 8-pin IC underneath it

Any ideas as to what it is?

[jade pivot]

https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/850911/DK/DK112/1

[wispy mesa]

Ye was checking

[trail cape]

Thank you, I've managed to dig that up on my own

And it checks out since in the applications section they mention "AC/DC LED driver applications"

[frigid echo]

I have the v1 fans

[languid narwhal]

At least after you build your pc, you don’t need to buy whatever Xbox comes next

[night python]

Ill still buy it

[languid narwhal]

[night python]

Along with the new ps

[languid narwhal]

I would probably get the PS, but I don’t see a reason to own a Xbox with my PC. Hell, I might eventually stop buying the new PS and just wait for the games to be put on PC eventually

[scarlet scaffold]

I’m just glad I didn’t go with the Corsair ones. Overpriced and mid, the ll120 ones

[pale thistle]

Update on the LED modification

Also it's UV but most cameras only capture UV as blue

[snow rover]

why though

[lost fossil]

if your gamepad has a built in deadzone to account for stick jitter and drift, there's nothing you can do

[quartz kayak]

ds4 allows you to do that

no lmao

are you on pc?

k i ll just send it to you here

wait

what controller do you have

you can change deadzone in game

im afraid i cant help then

[lost fossil]

that's a trash wheel then

if it's detected as a controller

[quartz kayak]

lmfao

hurtfull but true

if it was detected as a ps4 controller i might ve been able to help but as a 360 well

[lost fossil]

nah a good wheel would be detected as a wheel

[quartz kayak]

yeah but theres some programs that allow you to change ps4 controller settings

[lost fossil]

being detected as a controller is bad bc there are a lot of games that force an input filter when using a controller

[quartz kayak]

like literally everything

thats why

[quartz kayak]

ah tah

i d imagine that games that do that would allow you to change deadzones still though

[lost fossil]

you can use the steam controller

[quartz kayak]

[lost fossil]

i say it's a device issue

it's not supposed to be detected as a gamepad when it's a wheel tho

[quartz kayak]

sounds like a mobile game

wheels dont work on androids

[rapid lake]

ETS2 works on a potato

It’s also really fun

[quartz kayak]

lmfaoo

[rapid lake]

You got yourself a bad steering a wheel

[lost fossil]

i mean, idk how to fix your deadzone issues but you could use this to emulate a proper wheel https://blog.gimx.fr/product/gimx-adapter/

no

im not an expert

[junior flax]

hey so my desk fan recently broke and I'm also broke but I have a bunch of pc fans is there any way to make them run from like usb

a convertor or something I could buy?

I'd make a stand for em

[snow rover]

yes

[junior flax]

could u possibly link a tutorial/link to buy it

cheers

[snow rover]

you can just solder a usb plug to a fan

it will work

just not well

pc fans are 12v and usb is normally 5v

[junior flax]

ah

ok

[snow rover]

the less stupid way to do it would be a get a 12v psu and something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004866244813.html

[junior flax]

exactly what I want

thanks

[lost fossil]

damn

gonna add to cart

[snow rover]

ok

btw regards to the usb cables and PD

i got 65w through a generic samsung cables that's god knows how many years old and certainly not certified for anything

[marsh bramble]

You can buy a router charging plug. They are around 11 to 12 volts and are cheap

But you will need to do some soldering

[snow rover]

snip off the plug and solder the wires to the board

[junior flax]

my dad's an engineer and can probs do it

[lost fossil]

dont even need to solder

https://aliexpress.com/item/33006586046.html?spm=a2g2w.productlist.search_results.12.358d4aa6SEcPIA&sku_id=12000022868994904 with one of these don't need to snip off the plug either

[rapid lake]

is this a new feature in opera GX

or am I just late

Because I don't remember updating

[junior flax]

God everything using fucking ai

[junior flax]

ordered this

wait what do I plug that into?

[snow rover]

a 12v psu

[junior flax]

OK

@snow rover this good?

[snow rover]

yes but you probably already have one

[junior flax]

ye probs

I'll have a look round when I'm home from work

cheers

i'm sure it'll still run minecraft

[spiral jasper]

You can fix that....or can you?

Ik you can fix the bent pins when they are on the cpu but idk when they are on the motherboard

[jade pivot]

you can fix bent, not missing

[spiral jasper]

On motherboard?

[jade pivot]

sure

[spiral jasper]

Won't heating the board cause damage?

[jade pivot]

why would you heat the board

[spiral jasper]

So you can unbend the pins easier

[jade pivot]

i

i'm sure the board will handle 100+ temps just fine

you just need some pliers and a steady hand tho

[spiral jasper]

Well im not 💀

Ik the cpu will be fine but not the board

[sharp idol]

I'd love to try fix it but idk.. I'll probably end up volting the cpu. It's also a 9th gen cpu, not so many boards available now for it so might convince them to upgrade

[spiral jasper]

So you are gonna return it and get a new one?

[sharp idol]

I managed to find the same board online so gonna test to make sure the cpu is still fine before I suggest that

[rose yacht]

or a credit card

[snow rover]
