This is the cheapest laptop with Ryzen 5 5500u processor

Or u can also look for laptops with Ryzen 3 5300u

[jade pivot]

400 is bottom line for decent stuff, better look for used ones

[wheat flare]

Anyone know about the dark web?

[snow rover]

nobody has ever heard of such thing

[quartz kayak]

Do you mean dark mode on chrome?

Yeah i have it always on

[jade pivot]

i wear my sunglasses at nigh while surfing

[jovial tide]

Im getting parts for my pc build, how does the 7900 xtx compare with the 4090? Price to performance ratio should I just get the AMD card? Or would it be better to wait for better prices

Ive never owned an AMD card, im considering but worried about the amount of games that tend to have more optimization when it comes to NVIDIA

[jovial tide]

Oh sweet thx

[languid narwhal]

Did they ever fix the overheating issue with that thing

[snow rover]

yes

it was a bad batch of vapor chambers

[languid narwhal]

That’s good

[junior flax]

kek

[frigid echo]

Feels like staring at light mode discord haha

[paper cradle]

Anyone know what colour depth means

Eg. 24 bits per pixel (8-bit)

Or 30 bits per pixel (10-bit)

36 bits per pixel (12-bit)

[jovial tide]

Opinion on Asus tuf a15 4060 laptop

[lost fossil]

if this is correct, it means a lot more precision

the image can be captured and/or displayed more accurately

now what i don't understand is why windows color options are 15, 16 and 32 bit. does that setting mean a completely different thing in the form of a total number of displayable colors?

[jade pivot]

yes, basically the bits are just the total amount of colours

across all 3 colour channels

1 bit would be two colours, black & white

8 bit 2^8 colours

etc

think of the number representation in bit as the actual location of a certain colour

per pixel

[cold elbow]

A15s and f15s have a history of having a bad cooling design
They fixed it a bit after some versions but u should do your own research on that.

Asus cheaping out on the VRMs heatsink so they dont include them then they chock the entire intake so that some airflow can be sucked to the vrms from some holes.

[supple walrus]

2022 model onwards fixed the cooling

own both 2021 & 2022 model

the difference is HUGE

[cold elbow]

Good to hear

I used one recently with a 3050 ... cooling was better but was still near the edge of 85C+

[snow rover]

isn't that normal for laptops

[rose yacht]

i am using a gigabyte g5

[cold elbow]

Seen better

And it means in hot climates it will throttle

[snow rover]

you're telling me there are gaming laptops that don't throttle?

well besides watercooled ones

[cold elbow]

Yes there are

When u carefully pick the model and specs

[rose yacht]

the question is

why do you want a laptop for gaming

and please dont give me the "cUZ Of POrtabILIty!!11!"

[quartz kayak]

Are you asking why do we want a portable device for gaming and taking off the portability factor...

[supple walrus]

Under load my 3060 i7 2022 model barely peaks 65c CPU and 70c gpu

[quartz kayak]

Eggs pensive lap warmer

:3

[cold elbow]

Glad that they improved

I think the one i tried was 2020 or 2021

[supple walrus]

Outside of gaming, 'gaming' laptops are often very good substitutes for enterprise level laptop performance, such as for engineering students where you need the portability + computing power
It's cheaper to get a gaming laptop because enterprise systems give you the same (or worse) performance, for a much steeper price

[cold elbow]

For my engineering job i i requested an asus vivobook with ryzen 5800H

It was like 450$

[supple walrus]

The mid tier (and beyond) vivobooks easily run into the thousands

It's stupid

[cold elbow]

Well

Once u add a dedicated gpu things goes out of hand

And they start becoming unusable from a portability standpoint

[supple walrus]

The ProArt, which i think is the top line, retails for like $5000+

[supple walrus]

Yeah, which is where gaming laptops start coming in as a not half bad substitute

[cold elbow]

No i mean like

Battery and weight

This thing giving me 8 hours and it's relatively light

Charger also smol

[supple walrus]

You mean add an egpu kind of thing?

[cold elbow]

No i just ordered a laptop with APU

No external gpu

[supple walrus]

Icic

[cold elbow]

Adding gpu ruins everything

[supple walrus]

Like, y i k e s lmao (about 3700 USD)

[cold elbow]

I mean

[supple walrus]

Whereas similar level gaming systems are like a third of the price

[cold elbow]

U probably in a company and u know how they don't care about spending

Just want a plug and play devices

[supple walrus]

Often yeah,
But I've seen uni students with ProArt vivobooks

Which is uhh

Stupid lmao

[cold elbow]

Lmao

[supple walrus]

Literally waste of money

TUF/ROG system would do it for a third of the price

[cold elbow]

They think they are pro artists

And they need pro art equipment

[supple walrus]

[cold elbow]

Just like audio morons buying audiophile network switches

[supple walrus]

Might hate me for this but
Or like buying a macbook for performance

M1 isn't good anymore

Apple brand premium

[cold elbow]

They do kinda have some sense

[supple walrus]

People say they're 'light'
But that's not even as big of a deal anymore
Not only did asus massively improve the cooling with the 2022 TUF
but they shaved like a kilo of weight

The 2022 model is so much lighter

[cold elbow]

Just like how apple treating other industry by pretending that they dont exist

Most of the time when they say performance they don't mean performance

Just want a faster version of their existing mac

[little drum]

Guys is it possible if I just only changed the graphics card or is there more to changed aside than just a graphics card

[snow rover]

what

[little drum]

What I mean is... is it OK to only change the graphics card?

I only have like gtx 1650

[snow rover]

let me guess, it's a prebuilt

[little drum]

Is there something that I need to change aside from just changing the graphics card?

[snow rover]

that depends

[jade pivot]

you'd need to look at your PSU capabilities and with cards nowadays the actual space in your case

[snow rover]

do not try to put a pcie graphics card on an agp motherboard

or vice versa

[jade pivot]

AGP?

that stuff died in early 2k

[snow rover]

still

[jade pivot]

link me one current mainboard or gpu for consumers with agp

[snow rover]

no

[jade pivot]

[jovial tide]

Is worth to upgrade a 3070 Ti to 40 Series? (Like 4070 Ti or 4080)

[spiral jasper]

Performance to price ratio isn't good

[cold elbow]

skip this gen

[spiral jasper]

I say it's better to stay on the 3070ti

[topaz geode]

Do what you want with your hard earned money. Spend it on whatever you deem fit

[nova steppe]

They asked if it was worth. It isn't.

[arctic yarrow]

Not worth it tbh.

Hell, I feel upgrading from my 2070 super to a 4000 series isn't worth it.

[languid narwhal]

Your 30 series card will still hold up

[jovial tide]

Okey thanks everyone! I’ll keep this gpu

[jade pivot]

GPUs seem to have plateaued over the last few gens, same as CPUs long before

not really any mindblowing stuff that requires an upgrade, except for the forced ones like DLSS

and even for those, adoption is pretty low

[lost fossil]

agp - a graphics processor

there was some chinese mobo with an integrated 1060

[jade pivot]

[jovial tide]

I've ordered my first gaming laptop and I want people's opinion on it so it is a Asus tuf A15 4050 AMD rysen 7 one

[brave field]

How much did you pay?

The 4050 mobile is... ehhh

You've already purchased it, enjoy it of course. Getting thoughts afterwards instead of before can be strange at times

but above a certain price, a laptop with a 3070 mobile or so would perform better

[jovial tide]

I think it was around 969 pounds

Tbh I don't play high demanding games I just want to be able to play most games with decent graphics as the laptop I have now is one that my school gave me😂

[brave field]

overpriced imo

definitely will do the job though

[snow rover]

pain

a 1660 super is what, like 80 bucks now?

[cold elbow]

[junior flax]

ye after 2mins of searching I found one for £800 on a trusted site

[jovial tide]

Well I've already bought it now so can't really do much about it sadly

[jade pivot]

if it works for you, enjoy

[spiral jasper]

Downfall of nividia

[fresh heron]

Very sad capacitor leakage (CD/DVD player)

[jovial tide]

what is the difference between integrated graphics card and dedicated graphics card

im in need of a dedicated grapichs card for a game called the isle which will support dx12

[snow rover]

any relatively modern graphics card supports dx12

[fresh heron]

Integrated graphics=monkey
whereas
dedicated graphics=silverback gorrila

[nova steppe]

bro what

[snow rover]

that is not a useful description

[jade pivot]

integrated graphics are bundled with the processor and share parts of the same resources

[fresh heron]

Ancient Greek language you wouldn't understand

[jade pivot]

dedicated gpus are separate cards you slot into your mainboard

[fresh heron]

Basically just buy a dedicated gpu if you can

[jovial tide]

what's the best graphic card to use now adays

[jade pivot]

depends on your needs and budget

[snow rover]

rtx 4090

[jovial tide]

that has dx 12

[fresh heron]

Depends on your budget

[jovial tide]

say under 100

[fresh heron]

Runs cyberpunk at 16 fps

[fresh heron]

How man???

[jade pivot]

under 100 not much, might snack something used

[jovial tide]

that's my limit under 100

[snow rover]

best under 100 bucks is probably a used gtx 1070

[fresh heron]

Don't recommend used GPUs

But

[snow rover]

but you'll need pcie power connectors

[fresh heron]

If you can find a good one

(very rare)

[jade pivot]

there's nothing wrong with buying a used card

[snow rover]

actually buy a used vega 56

[fresh heron]

Most used cards are not in the best condition

[jade pivot]

yes, gimme the "but gpu mining hurr durr"

[snow rover]

flash vega 64 bios and oc as high as it will go

insane value

[nova steppe]

"most"

[jade pivot]

why, do they have too many miles on the speedo

[fresh heron]

Bruh

From what I've seen

[jade pivot]

idk dude, you can go north of 10 years on electronics unless there's manufacturing issues

you wanna look at half the shit big companies are running, that stuff is older than most of us here

[jade pivot]

do you have an it guy among family or friends?

[jovial tide]

nope

[jade pivot]

work maybe?

[jovial tide]

i have google

or amazon

i have limits

just the way life runs

money doesn't grow on trees u know

[jade pivot]

a used gtx 1050 or higher might be achievable under 100

[snow rover]

vega 56

with a 64 bios and oc it can like match a 2070

[jovial tide]

what does that even mean

[snow rover]

and they're under 100 bucks used

[jovial tide]

u guys are confusing me

[snow rover]

google amd vega 56

[jade pivot]

they're names of graphic cards

[jovial tide]

i don't know what those terms mean

im sorry

im not trying to be rude

[jade pivot]

this would be a graphics card AKA GPU

[snow rover]

[jade pivot]

or that one

these are the requirements of the game, those cards would be sorta in line with the specs

[jade pivot]

you also gotta look at your processor and RAM

[fresh heron]

Deutschland?

[jade pivot]

no, it just came up in german

[fresh heron]

Nett

There are other German speaking countries you know

[jade pivot]

i'll keep that in mind

[fresh heron]

Ich liebe Geschlechtverker

[jovial tide]

thank u all

for your help

[nova steppe]

if they had to ask what the difference between an iGPU and a dedicated GPU was, they're not gonna understand this 😭

[snow rover]

i'm well aware

it was more of an observation because i didn't know they were as cheap as they are

[jovial tide]

i dont understand

much about computers

[lost fossil]

is your gtx 270 a silverback gorilla?

[jovial tide]

i dont have a graphics card

i have an intergrated one

your confussing me

and your shit makes no sense

[lost fossil]

[jovial tide]

why dont u shut up and go bother someone else

[lost fossil]

alright

[jade pivot]

sad oreo noises

[lost fossil]

nothing like trying to explain things in layman terms and getting told to shut up and go bother someone else

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

Integrated graphics card is a normal graphics card but integrated in the cpu

Its kinda just used for video output, not really meant to handle any game or anything

Also dont be mean to oleg or i ll burn your house down

[cold elbow]

And i burn your car if u ever get one

[jovial tide]

u guys are funny

[jovial tide]

u guys make me laugh

Man lads, is a Ryzen 5 5600X together with an RTX4080 a good combo?

[brave field]

It'll work fine

Is a 4080 really something you'll utilize to its fullest?

And is something like the 5600X3D or 5800X3D an option for you?

[jovial tide]

thank u all for your help

night all

[sand blaze]

my gpu only utilizes 30-48% idk what to do💀

[lilac heath]

What gpu and cpu do u have?

[sand blaze]

r5 3600 3060ti

is it a bottleneck?

[lilac heath]

Not that much of a bottleneck tho

[sand blaze]

yea but like its not possible for it to reach 40 below tho

idk what to do

ran other benchmark like red dead 2 and god of war and it utilizes 96%

[lilac heath]

Which game?

[sand blaze]

gta v

[lilac heath]

Do u play at 1080p?

[sand blaze]

ya

i think its on the res right

[lilac heath]

Increase the resolution to 1440p

R5 3600 can cause bottleneck at 1080p

Or upgrade your CPU to 5600x or something

[sand blaze]

r7 5800x

[lilac heath]

Overkill imo

[sand blaze]

deciding if r5 5600x or r7 5800x

cus like in my country the 5800x cost 175 bucks

and 120 for the 5600x

thank you for answering my problem too

[lilac heath]

Get 5800x if u are gonna upgrade 3060ti in future

[lost fossil]

not 5800x3d?

[polar moon]

I was about to mention that

[jade pivot]

but muh i7

hi all

[frozen sorrel]

anyone help me find a good prebuild for around £1300 -£1600 ($2000)

or even all the things i need to make a good functional pc

[cold elbow]

Don't get a pre-built if you know how to follow basic instructions on how to build your own pc.

Set a budget or detailed use and build based on that.

1300-2000 is a wide range so narrow it down

[rose yacht]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dw7Bgb

there i literally made this list under 10 min

enjoy

you can change the ram, the cooling and probably the case

[jade pivot]

why the hdd tho

🤨

[rose yacht]

idk lmao

if he wants to store more stuff

or he can remove it and add another ssd, up to him tbh

[rose yacht]

its crazy how 4200 лв. can get you at the pc store

[frozen sorrel]

ty

[lilac heath]

Rtx 3080 for $900💀

[rose yacht]

that was the cheapest one

i could find i think

he can go all amd

[jade pivot]

3090/4090 are goofy gpus

this one shits gold

[lilac heath]

7900 xtx is also selling for around $900

900-950

is this ok for minecraft

[snow rover]

no

[jade pivot]

what do you recommend

[snow rover]

xbox 360

[jade pivot]

but i want minecraft with mods

[cold elbow]

Mod your xbox

[jade pivot]

RAM too fast for the flagship CPU

[cold elbow]

I can totally read that

[jade pivot]

i'm sorry, i took it in 4k

The G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-8000 CL38 Memory operating voltage of 1.45 V exceeds the AMD Zen 4 CPU recommended maximum of 1350 mv+7% (1444.5 mv). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1350 mv voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the AMD recommended maximum.

16 cores at 4,5 is wild though, i dont think you could even 50% that cpu with games coming out in the next decade

[cold elbow]

U lost me at Z5

[jade pivot]

why

[cold elbow]

Lazy and tired

Using one eye

[jade pivot]

tldr: ram voltage higher than cpu specs

[cold elbow]

How does that make any sense

Why voltage of ram related to cpu

[jade pivot]

idk how they are tied together, but there seem to be constraints

vendor recommended specs obviously just mean that they tested until value X and guarantee it's safe

[lost fossil]

ram voltage and cpu soc voltage

[jade pivot]

apparently exceeding the voltage can introduce crosstalk at some point

seems to depend on the board tho

[rose yacht]

thats going to lag on fast graphics

i suggest a 1990 lenovo thinkpad

[fresh heron]

I want to play Cyberpunk 2077 on max settings RTX and DLSS turned on with RT Overdrive mode and 120 FPS recommend a setup

without gas, your car will barely run a mile

[fresh heron]

🤯 man that is life changing

No need to push my car now

Thanks man fr fr 🙏

[jade pivot]

if you don't want to be mocked, dont link mockable statements

[quartz kayak]

Thats legit more than double the price of my pc

And you can buy a whole good and new car with 2 of them

[jade pivot]

there are new cars below 10k euro besides dacia probably?

[quartz kayak]

There are new cars below 7k

And you can buy good cars 2nd hand for 5k easly

[snow rover]

mitsubishi mirage

[quartz kayak]

Im never wasting more than 600euros on a gpu

I don't think anyone in my friend/family circle bought a new car in the last decade

it's either a car paid for by work or private leasing.

[jovial tide]

would a gaming monitor help with lag

on ark

[fresh heron]

Stuttering or lag?

Are u sure it's lag or maybe it could be stuttering

[lost fossil]

i was gonna say that the number one thing that helps with lag on arc is enabling resizable bar in the bios but i was told to shut up so i aint gonna say that

[jade pivot]

ark is a stuttering mess of a game

stutter is PC, lag is your network most of the time. A simple FPS indicator would show you which it is

and a gaming monitor would help with neither of those

[lost fossil]

oh ark as in the game

ark on arc

[jovial tide]

im sorry i said that to u

i know u were only trying to help

its ok if u don't forgive me

i get 11 fps on ark

ark is called ark survival evolved

sorry

[quartz kayak]

Is that normal

All my family bought their cars lol

[quartz kayak]

Ok what are your specifications

Is it an integrated gpu, bcs u made that question before

Integrated gpus cant handle anything let alone ark

If you even got in ark with an Integrated gpu thats impressive tho

[fresh heron]

Nothing wrong with that

Wrong reply

[quartz kayak]

[quartz kayak]

I know theres nothing wrong with it, i just find it weird bcs i never really heard of it

[fresh heron]

Same goes for me

Where do i start

I know some python, javascript, Java, and c++

[wispy mesa]

Download unity n mess around with stuff

[lyric coral]

I've done that

Can't really make anything cool

I tried unreal too

Enreal was a bit better

[quartz kayak]

Then you cant run ark

Lol

You need atleast a gtx 670

And that 60gb specification is not real

My ark needs 200gbs

The normal steam version is more than 60gbs

[wispy mesa]

rookie, mines 360gb

[quartz kayak]

I dont play that much ark

[wispy mesa]

Fair

[jovial tide]

i can run ark

its just laggy and i get 11 fps

[snow rover]

i wouldn't call that running

more like walking

[jovial tide]

idc what u think

hows that

[junior flax]

I'd say crawling. slowly

walking would be 30fps

[quartz kayak]

Thats limping lmao

[jade pivot]

get something like this, but for your PC

i mean look its been empty for 2 years

i never cleaned it properly

ive seen mfs on forums saying even a little dust can mess it up

why u here asking us when u can just try it

[sleek reef]

i cant i dont got no alcohol

[cold elbow]

perfume has

[sleek reef]

nah that'll definitely do damage lmao

[jade pivot]

i'll take innovative ways to rust my PC for 200

[cold elbow]

i fix all my electonics with perfume

and they endup smelling great

[jade pivot]

i bet the garbage man appreciates

i baked my ps3 once to fix it

[cold elbow]

i remember these

[sleek reef]

ive heard of that fix lol it dont do shit

[cold elbow]

the devices with maximum fan speed

[jade pivot]

well, the fix worked

[sleek reef]

for a few months

[jade pivot]

around a year or so, until i got the ps4

[cold elbow]

in theory it should fix the issue

[jade pivot]

if the issue is fractured solder on the chip, yes

[cold elbow]

but some shops used to fix devices by remounting the chip

[sleek reef]

i just watched an hour long video on the ps3 about the rsx being shit

[jade pivot]

i can't solder if my life depended on it, absolutely bombed the solder test in school

or rather welding

[sleek reef]

a reflow is a temporary fix

for the ps3

[jade pivot]

would you consider changing the tires a temporary fix for your car

[sleek reef]

lol listen if you want me to ill send you the vid it's worth watching

[jade pivot]

do they change tires in that vid

[sleek reef]

mhm they do

[jade pivot]

then no, i know how to do that myself

Anyone can help me find pc parts?

I just wanna have a pc to run most of the games with like 60 or more fps on any graphics

[cold elbow]

Budget

[timber yew]

or a way to fix my pc, I played two games at the same time, and now some games running way worse than before, I found a fix (I think) I changed from cfg the used graphics card and it runs as good as before, but to most games I cant find a cfg file to change it, and I cant change the sued graphics card trough windows settings. I think it may be a windows error and I think I should change to linux but it just doesnt seem worth it to me

[cold elbow]

Set a budget

[timber yew]

how much would be enough?

[wet parrot]

How much is ur budget?

[languid narwhal]

How much are you willing to spend? Lol

[cold elbow]

How much you are willing to pay

There's are functional computers even for 400$

[timber yew]

maybe 600 euro

or dollars

and I dont need SSD

[cold elbow]

U willing to go into the used market route?

[timber yew]

like second hand?

[cold elbow]

Yup

[sullen plank]

Used pcs are risky

[timber yew]

then no

[cold elbow]

Also do you have experience with computers like putting them together?

[timber yew]

yes

[sullen plank]

I wouldn't buy a used gpu

[cold elbow]

Why?

[timber yew]

I can put it together

[sullen plank]

Don't trust them to work for that long

[timber yew]

I only want the parts, except storage units

[sullen plank]

Unless they assure me they didn't use it to mine

[cold elbow]

That just means that you lack experience

If you test a gpu correctly then it's no different than a new one

[sullen plank]

Really?

So I could actually sell the gtx 1050ti for quite the sum

[cold elbow]

What worse could happen? Replacing thermal paste or fans?

[sullen plank]

Never done it on a gpu

Doesn't that void warranty

[cold elbow]

Warranty on a 4 years old card?

Or in your case probably 7 years

[sullen plank]

Idk where I got the gtx 1050 from it was already second hand when I got it lol

[nova steppe]

one step ahead

[sullen plank]

But i was desperate and it was 2021

[cold elbow]

I bought a lot of used cards
Some of them used for mining

One with bad thermal paste and one with broken fan fins

[nova steppe]

and if the person using it for mining had above room temp IQ, they'd set the cards so that they wouldn't just die

[timber yew]

.

[cold elbow]

Got the cards for 100$ each and fixes them for 10$
Made 200$ profit on each

Third one i used for 5 years then sold it also for profit

[sullen plank]

With the prices nvidia are setting I guess it doesn't hurt to just go used for good

[nova steppe]

what country are you in?

[cold elbow]

Lot of them actually downclock it since only they care about is memory

[languid narwhal]

Not necessarily sure if 600 euros will get you for most games. I could be wrong though. Also a lot of other factors as well

[cold elbow]

Start searching for used computers something with a 10400f for example
Or a gtx 2060

[sullen plank]

I do think there's something up with my 6700xt because it blue screens alot on total war warhammer 3

[cold elbow]

Maybe it's your ram

Do memtest

[sullen plank]

Okay

[timber yew]

is Intel i5-12400F good

[sullen plank]

I stopped playing that game tho, makes the pc way too hot

[cold elbow]

Yup

[timber yew]

would 16 gb ram ddr4 also be good?

[cold elbow]

Systems with 5600 or 3600 ryzen also good

16 is good yeah

[timber yew]

GTX 1650?

GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6

[cold elbow]

It's ehhh

[sullen plank]

Why only 1650

[timber yew]

so I should switch?

[cold elbow]

Maybe try finding something better

[sullen plank]

Go for a 3060

[timber yew]

budget

so cpu and rams good?

[sullen plank]

Maybe save up an additional hundred euros

And get the better option

[timber yew]

better option like??

[sullen plank]

Rtx 3060

[timber yew]

I dont want a good pc, I want one that runs most games with 60 fps

on even low graphics

atleast 60 fps

[sullen plank]

There's also the 6650 xt which is usually cheaper than the 3060 and performs close to it

I've seen them go for about 250 usd

[timber yew]

250 is good

[sullen plank]

If you don't mind having to buy a amd card I'd recommend a 6650xt

It's pretty cheap and pumps enough fps at 1080p for what it costs

No ray tracing however

If you want Ray tracing you'll have to buy nvidia

[timber yew]

@sullen plank @cold elbow Ryzen 5 5500 3.6GHz, 16GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, RX 6650 XT 8GB GDDR6

is this better?

its like $750 I think

[sullen plank]

You can't get a ryzen 5600?

Think those are ideal for games

[timber yew]

is there any difference between 550 and 5600?

5500*

[sullen plank]

5600 has double the l3 cache

And probably better at operating on high speeds than the 5500

Oh and 5500 can only fit pcie3 ssds

5600x could harness pcie4

[lost fossil]

damn

[languid narwhal]

Hey that’s me

[quartz kayak]

Man im not in there :c

[wet parrot]

Getting an amd card is the best choice for when you have a budget

And the software for it provides some overclocking options, which can help to squeeze out some more fps

[sullen plank]

Yep, which is what I went for instead of getting an rtx card

Only drawback being no raytracing

[wet parrot]

The XT series can do ray tracing tho

[sullen plank]

Don't think it can and I got a 6700xt

No option for it anyway

[wet parrot]

I did 4k ray tracing with my 6500xt

I don't remember how but I did it

[sullen plank]

Was this on cyberpunk 2077?

[cold elbow]

Is this a pre built?

[wet parrot]

No

I'm too lazy to download cyberpunk and it probably wouldn't even open

[sullen plank]

That's the only game I have which uses Ray tracing

Same, I uninstalled it after their nvidua update broke my mods

[wet parrot]

You have Minecraft bedrock?

[sullen plank]

Nope

[nova steppe]

I couldn't finish my most recent playthough 70+ hours in because my mods broke 😭

[wet parrot]

Java?

Cuz bedrock can do ray tracing

[sullen plank]

Yeah I was almost done with pam's quest too waste of 65 hours

[sullen plank]

I think it's Java yep

Wb call of duty

[wet parrot]

Check ur launcher, everyone who has java got bedrock for free, or just download the seus ptgi shaders

[sullen plank]

Actually I can't be bothered to buy cod just to try out Ray tracing lol

I see, thanks

[wet parrot]

Fortnite has ray tracing, but it's kinda meh

[sullen plank]

Haven't bothered with games much aside from some free to play ones

[wet parrot]

[junior flax]

hey so soon I'm planning to do a few upgrades

my nzxt phantom 530 to nzxt h5 flow
650 watt cooler master psu to 850 watt corsair
need new cpu cooler any recommendations?
as well as 2080 super to 3080

is this worth it

I tallied it up to be around £450 total if I trade in my old gpu

that's without a new cpu cooler but I need 1

I have a r5 5600x

also it'd be a 3080 fe

remember the 5 fan gpu that steve nexus reviewed a couple months ago

what if there was a gpu design with a cooler that uses 5-7 60mm fans blowing air through the gpu from the side panel side into the motherboard (or pulling the other way around)

kinda like this (with the "front" blocked off of course)

[jade pivot]

what if instead of fans you just spin the whole pc really fast

[lost fossil]

And i even know that theres apps that help you code to make other apps even so yeah

[junior flax]

gyhjjfgvgh

[unreal iron]

@exotic patrol do you know about gpu and their pricing

@quartz kayak you can code android apps

[quartz kayak]

Yeah. Uuhhh

Did you think they came from black holes

[unreal iron]

I didn't think they came from you

[quartz kayak]

Oh no they dont

I just know some basic coding

[unreal iron]

Hmmm if I pitch an idea would you be able to tell me if you could do it?

[quartz kayak]

I could probably make one if i really really wanted to but im lazy

[quartz kayak]

Idk maybe

[unreal iron]

In my mind it's building a UI and updating from a database and presenting the information, with like a checklist

I want an app that more or.less is a checklist app for a game.

[quartz kayak]

No

[unreal iron]

It can just pull from, and store, the wiki information, and present it

[quartz kayak]

I hate databases

I absolutely despise databases

[unreal iron]

Kekw

Do you know someone more willing to take this on? I'm not asking for such a thing for free

More willing to work with databases lol

[quartz kayak]

I ll ask some people if anything comes up i ll tell you

[unreal iron]

Thank

[quartz kayak]

Ok so let me see if i get it, you want an app that would kinda help you track stuff kinda like achievements in a game or something else

That could be changed from a database

[unreal iron]

Baseline it would be accessing a wiki, and updating for new charachters (offline access), and sorting the charachters by class, and nation (the wiki has this just the ui would need to reflect it), from there 1-3 checkboxes. (Obtained, MLB,lv120)

Being able to like, sort and filter them like the game offers would be great.

Ideally each charachter would have a thumbnail (also in-game) and let you basically manually put in your load outs. (5 boxes for the various equipment in the game, per charachter)

[charred otter]

so um

[unreal iron]

This kind of filter

Minue Extra lol

Aint need all that

[charred otter]

dumb question, but was there anything i was supposed to change in my BIOS when i got my PC?

[quartz kayak]

No

[unreal iron]

Out of the box? Uh probably not

Especially on a Prebuilt

[charred otter]

i built my PC

[quartz kayak]

Thats way to advanced for me if you want me to be honest

[charred otter]

https://youtu.be/t036sCrXnFc?t=277

click this

what does he mean

[quartz kayak]

Even the wiki part would require alot of variations

[unreal iron]

How so

I'm genuinely looking to learn how to better explain what I need

[quartz kayak]

Ok so ur basically asking it to access the wiki and getting characters from it. That would be a hard thing to do via coding. Atleast i ve never done anything close to it

[unreal iron]

why is that hard to do via coding? would ther ebe an easier way to do that if not coding it?

[jade pivot]

make an excel list and fill it yourself

[unreal iron]

done

mostly

but it's hard to keep it updates

[quartz kayak]

That would be the easier way

[jade pivot]

website scraping and dumping stuff into excel is doable

[unreal iron]

so..would it be better to ask to

[quartz kayak]

Just update the database urself, getting a database updated via wiki is not something i know that its doable

[unreal iron]

scrape and upload to excel, then access excel to present in a neat ui?

what does a game do to present a list like it then

[quartz kayak]

That would be doable

[jade pivot]

where you feed stuff into a db from is irrelevant

[unreal iron]

Could it just load an instance of the game and uses the games built in checklist?

the problem I see there is that the game is online, and obvs can't just have everything unlocked

basically a cracked account ig

[quartz kayak]

Wouldnt that trigger some kind of anticheat maybe idk

[jade pivot]

anticheat triggers when stuff gets changed during runtime

[quartz kayak]

Real

It would just be reading stuff ig

It is also doable that way i think

[unreal iron]

Entries are locked until you "get" a ship though, so you would have to credit yourself every charachter in the game, and then set it all to max so you could toggle and un-toggle things

and there's not enough space in the game for every charachter without buying slots for charachters

[nova steppe]

he explains what he means. what did you want to understand?

[charred otter]

https://youtu.be/t036sCrXnFc?t=287 this

[jade pivot]

your idea could keep a single dev busy for 2-3 weeks at the very least

[charred otter]

what is xmp

[nova steppe]

eXtreme Memory Profile

[jade pivot]

and you're asking for stuff that goes across different specialisations

[nova steppe]

lets the ram run full speed

[quartz kayak]

Yeah i think it actually would take more time than its actually worth

[unreal iron]

right, and that's why id be willing to pay if i could afford it. Cookie told me since the entire charachter database in wiki form it's already half done lol

[charred otter]

so i should have that on?

[jade pivot]

most of the work would be on the UI part

[nova steppe]

i.e., you buy a pack of 3200 MT/s DDR4 memory, out the box, it will run at 2133 until you enable XMP

[unreal iron]

i'd just have to find someone willing to get it all scraped and put into a nice little ui

[nova steppe]

yes, you should turn it on

[quartz kayak]

Ui on android is easy to make

[charred otter]

oh

thats what i was asking

[quartz kayak]

If it doesnt need to look cute and all that

[unreal iron]

why can't it jjust use game UI for assets

[charred otter]

was there supposed to be something turned on when i first opened bios that i didnt turn on?

[unreal iron]

and then smooth it out later

[nova steppe]

first timestamp was too far back

[unreal iron]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

it already SORT of exists

[nova steppe]

usually mobos default to "EZ Mode" for the layout, so the XMP Enable button is right there at the front

[charred otter]

that would semi improve performance

[nova steppe]

aside from turning on XMP and ReBAR if your PC allows it, there's not much more to enable

[quartz kayak]

Again it seems like alot of work for such a specific thing imo

[quartz kayak]

You will find someone willing to do it if you try looking but they ll charge you alot
