The headphones are costlier than my legion slim 5

In my country

1500$

[snow rover]

yes that is normal

[vital turtle]

The cloud 2 is at 80$, stinger is at 40$

[vital turtle]

If i had that much money for just a headphone I would've created a whole dolby atmos studio in my house lol

[snow rover]

these are 15k with the matching energizer

[civic cloud]

You're about as helpful as when a guy asks for a good cheap car and you tell him to buy a bugatti

[snow rover]

[vital turtle]

Samson SR850
Soundcore q30
ATH m20x

How do they fit here, any idea?

[snow rover]

honestly m20x doesn't look terrible on paper

sr850 is really bright

q30 absolutely no clue

i imagine it's all bass and nothing else like every other cheap anc headphone

[vital turtle]

sr850 has reviews over its fatiguing treble

[snow rover]

that tends to happen when you're 10db above harman at 5000hz

[vital turtle]

Some people say that m20x is probably a bit worse on gaming sounds side and more suited to studio work than the normal cloud 2

(I'm not an audiophile so I don't have much idea about the stuff there is related to this)

[upbeat spade]

it doesn't matter that much

[cold elbow]

I have the ath m40x and they're great and go for 80$
U will have to buy a mic tho or go full blown m50xsts that comes with a mic and very good sound quality and build.

But yeah a m40x and a hyperx solocast is fine

[upbeat spade]

your headphone having a pubic hair's length more treble than bass isn't making you, the player, any better or worse at hearing footsteps than you were previously
neutral headphones are absolutely fine for gaming

[upbeat spade]

the other two have been spoken for
for the last, basically never buy soundcore unless you're desperate
these are cheap anc headphones that students buy because that's all they care for in the purchase, sound quality is hit or miss here

[supple walrus]

Stinger is great
Both Gen 1 and 2

I'll be getting Cloud IIIs soon™️ though

it'll get used like once every couple weeks, it's ok

[snow rover]

[frigid echo]

I hate soundbars. I have a pair of Jbl lsr305's for my pc when I want to listen to things.

[snow rover]

lsrs are pretty banger

i mean goddamn

300 bucks a piece

[frigid echo]

That's for the big 308's the 305's are 5 inch and can be found for 180 usd for a pair

[snow rover]

well yeah

but 5 inches is too little

[frigid echo]

Mine are unique. I got a matched pair less than 1db difference in performance

[snow rover]

TIL there's a drop version of those

[frigid echo]

They been rock solid. Been using them since 2017

Hooked them up to a little dot mk 2 tube amp with NOS voshkod matched tubes amd they get even better

[snow rover]

studio monitors on a tube amp

that's it

[frigid echo]

I use it mainly as a volume knob when I don't hooked up my k712's to them

[twin badger]

Uh... nah

[supple walrus]

because I'm not an audiophile that wants perfect sound
I literally just want something that is a decent product at a decent price, for like I said, when I occasionally decide to watch a movie on my PC or whatever

And this fits the bill lmao

So, i bought it

[civic cloud]

You don't want to spend several hundred bucks to occasionally watch a movie on your pc? Impossible

For gaming with a chance to upgrade. There was builds with ddr4 and/or am4 but meh..

[thin turtle]

try to see the alternatives of 4060

better price

amd alternatives

like 6700xt is the same price almost

but eats 4060

and the 4060ti

but again is you're willing to do any rendering, simulation or 3d modeling
do not touch amd cards

[thin turtle]

wait lemme check this one

yep, that's false

it's only better than the 4060

[void turret]

Ok 🤔

[thin turtle]

but all depends on the market and your budget

maybe where you're at the 4060 is cheaper

istg if I got my hands on a 4070

[void turret]

Here is a build I have been thinking. Price is 950€ as a bundle. When I collect those components on different site, its easily 1200€

[thin turtle]

impressive very nice

lemme see that price in my currency

[void turret]

That is also one thing why I'm planning that 4060 bundle. So I can get 4070 later

[thin turtle]

950 is a lot for that build ngl

[void turret]

Yeah, fucking Finland VAT 25,5%

[thin turtle]

oh my

ngl that price range is 4070super build here

[void turret]

Damn

[thin turtle]

also you gotta consider the accessories

display, keboard etc

[void turret]

Yeah

[thin turtle]

they add up fast

my accessories cost about half the build

[void turret]

Probably going to one of their shop to see and feel them

[thin turtle]

yeah I also recommend not rushing the build

take your time and explore the market

prebuilt PCs are often rip offs

[void turret]

Yeah

[thin turtle]

I hope you get a good one

and if you're ready to make expensive mistakes, build it yourself

[thin turtle]

yk mikko ask them for a AMD card

see how much the price changes

like the 6600xt for instance

[void turret]

Hmm, idk is it possible to edit that bundle

[thin turtle]

[void turret]

Just put those same parts on other site where I can pick parts myself, price is over 1100€

But..

Case and mobo is like 180€ each.. maybe its possible to take off 60-70€ each to use cheaper parts

@thin turtle even 130€ off on case

[thin turtle]

case must be compatible with motherboard iirc

[void turret]

Yes ofc

If I need to select parts myself, I would pick mATX mobo

[thin turtle]

but generally, the case is not expensive

too much yappanese here

take my words for a grain of salt

[void turret]

Well, I picked parts what are more suitable for 4060. Price is still 999€..

Even motherboard price dropped 178-> 124. Case dropped 187 -> 55. Its still better choice to choose bundle build for 950€

[brave field]

If it turns out you can edit the bundle, check the RX 7600 too if it costs less than the 4060, its a 6600XT with nicer software and lower power draw

[nova steppe]

why are you still insistent on the 4070 😭

[nova steppe]

Can you afford AMD?

It depends. What are similar to 4070? 4070 costs ~660€

[void turret]

Oh shit, I read this 4060

[thin turtle]

4070 is good tho

or 4070super now

[void turret]

@thin turtle I can ask an offer for components I have selected myself. Total price should be 1000€ atleast.

[toxic sentinel]

For now

Intel has more competetive procing tho

[exotic patrol]

depends on the context

[snow gazelle]

5070 is like 200$ more than 7800xt for like 5% more performance

[thin turtle]

for gaming CPUs/GPUs generally yes

but intel is cooking 1.8 nm

I guess thats the transistor size

crazy it's only like 18 times bigger than an atom

or 9 times maybe

since the raidus of an atom is about 1 angstrom

diameter would be 2

that's 0.2 nm

and generally transistors can't go smaller than 1 nm

which is why the CPU technology will have to change

[zealous anvil]

Hp Victus or Lenovo LOQ?

[exotic patrol]

what about the new quantum chip

[thin turtle]

still a prototype I heared

Microsoft discovered the state of matter that would make it possible

[toxic sentinel]

Nvidia has much greater ray tracing performance than rx 7000 series

[thin turtle]

implementing that would take time

[snow gazelle]

i wouldn't pay 200$ more for RT
rt is pepega anyway

[zealous anvil]

HP Victus or Lenovo LOQ for gaming n multitask

[thin turtle]

brother this question is too general

[toxic sentinel]

Well we’re already seeing games which has only RT based lighting

[zealous anvil]

need ya opinion

[thin turtle]

compare the specs

[zealous anvil]

same specs

same price

js different brand

[thin turtle]

then see the cooling

and other features

like display, rgb

etc etc

[toxic sentinel]

I wouldn’t be too surprised if GTA VI had ray tracing only as well

[snow gazelle]

highly doubt it

[thin turtle]

why

[snow gazelle]

that means only 5% can run it with decent fps
R* would never do it

[thin turtle]

unnecessary bloat

[toxic sentinel]

RTX 2000 series is already like 5 years old now so I could see it being possible

[toxic sentinel]

Ray tracing works pretty well on GTA V

[snow gazelle]

but gta 5 rt is not demanding

compared to like alan wake

[zealous anvil]

Yes or Win 7

Is windows 11 worse than Vista?

[lost fossil]

someone somewhere said that vista was good but got a lot of bad rep bc it was like the crysis of operating systems

well, that's not what they said but basically the hardware at the time was weak to properly support all of its features

what the hell is the point of a wireless keyboard unless it's for like a living room pc

[wary pawn]

I was using wireless mouse for my laptop but it got on my nerves after some time (charging batteries).

[snow rover]

i would never go back to a wired mouse but a wireless keyboard just seems pointless for desktop use

[wary pawn]

Switched to cabled.

Depends on mouse or user probably. But keyboard def should be wired

[void turret]

Is there mouses you can charge or see how long battery lasts?

[snow rover]

uh

like every wireless mouse can be charged

you don't throw it out when it runs out of battery

[void turret]

Ok 🤔 I have now one where I need to change a battery

Can I stream 1080P 60fps media on an Intel i5-6200u with integrated graphics if I'm getting footage from a capture card?

Ping me if you end up replying

[lost fossil]

my day was immeasurable and my disappointment was ruined when i learned that elgato hd 60 pro (which is what i have) doesn't encode the video feed (so it's all on the cpu)... you need to look up the detailed specs for your capture device

[ocean thunder]

I actually don't have one but I was planning on it

[lost fossil]

i remember looking at some capture card some time ago and it said something about hardware encoding in its description

it could've been one of the more recent avermedia offerings

[junior flax]

i have a gpro super light 2 and charge it like once every 2-3 weeks

[lost fossil]

actually, it was the capture card that i used to have avermedia live gamer hd

and on their page they have this

me:

[cold elbow]

i read somewhere that in the past some GPUs used to come with a capture card

[lost fossil]

that was like past past

kind of past

[void turret]

Thanks, I'll check that.

[fickle finch]

GPU's came with an expansion card?

Maybe they were mean't for streaming

[lost fossil]

that was in like 1999 if not earlier

[fickle finch]

oh wow thats old

why was this kind of graphics card available during those times if those streaming services werent as popular

Very peculiar

[lost fossil]

to capture the video, not to broadcast it

it's complicated

[fickle finch]

oh i see

[fickle finch]

oleg are you a computer engineer?

[lost fossil]

no

[fickle finch]

I am doing an early career shift to computer engineering now, because I couldnt find data analytic jobs

about as well versed as myself as a car expert at the age of like 6 when my parents told me i know a lot about cars because i knew that a logo with 3 ovals was a toyota

@lost fossil I bought this from a colleague its a catalyst 3560-c series cisco

but its PoE and configurable with a cisco console cable has indicated there

Maybe I can connect one CCTV in this switch

[fickle finch]

No way

I dont remember saying that wtf

[fickle finch]

Anyways, this is news to me and I didnt know that cisco does this

What about the companies who are using cisco catalysts to connect so many devices like CCTVs, IP phones, PC's

[lost fossil]

to be more specific, it was meraki, not cisco... but at the same time,

[sterile cliff]

Cisco has special hitmen it sends after naughty clients

Anyone knows why my secondary m.2 ssd won’t show up in BIOS or Windows? First slot comes from CPU while secondary slot is from chipset.

[wispy mesa]

What mobo?

[toxic sentinel]

Asus PRIME B550M-K

[wispy mesa]

Hmm i dont see anything obivous as to why. Check BIOS to make sure its enabled

[toxic sentinel]

There isn’t option to enable it in BIOS

Only thing I found was that I could rename those slots

[thin turtle]

try another one

[wispy mesa]

wut

[thin turtle]

another ssd

[toxic sentinel]

It should work as I took it straight from use

[wispy mesa]

What SSD

[toxic sentinel]

From my laptop

[toxic sentinel]

NVME Crucial P1 PCI E 3.0

[thin turtle]

you only have 2 m.2 slots?

[toxic sentinel]

Yes

[thin turtle]

ugh

yk I'm willing to add another ssd soon

so I want to see how this will be resolved

[twin badger]

I only have one

I had to get an m2 adapter to connect the second one

[thin turtle]

you can use the x16 slot right?

if you have 2

my motherboard has 3 m.2

and a lot of sata

then I'm using an i3 12100f

bottlenecking the whole system

[twin badger]

I do use that, yes

though my ssd is running at pcie gen 2 speeds

instead of gen 3

Still, way faster than a SATA

[thin turtle]

ah

yeah ofc

I want to get a 14700k but people online making me way too nervous

[twin badger]

Hasnt the issues gotten patched?

[thin turtle]

yeah

but idk they still talk

[twin badger]

If you have doubts, just get the 14600k, still plenty powerful, especially coming from a 12100f

[thin turtle]

yeah that's a solid one

but I want to experience gpu bottleneck so bad

Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

some mobos work in such a way where some slots are automatically disabled when you have something plugged in somewhere else

[toxic sentinel]

Yeah I need to check BIOS settings and see if I can figure it out

[brave field]

@toxic sentinel What CPU do you have?

The Ryzen APUs have less lanes and some boards disable slots instead of getting lanes elsewhere

[toxic sentinel]

Ryzen 5 5600

[fickle finch]

Same

[twin badger]

Had one before too

[brave field]

can't remember if that chip is just a non-X 5600X, or a 5600G without the iGPU

[twin badger]

non 5600X

[fickle finch]

which graphics card

[twin badger]

Literally just a 5600X but 200 mhz lower

[brave field]

I hate that AMD did the APU thing with a few CPUs

[toxic sentinel]

RX 6600 XT

[fickle finch]

which brand is this one

[toxic sentinel]

Powercolor

[fickle finch]

oh

[twin badger]

Fighter?

[toxic sentinel]

Hellhound

[twin badger]

[brave field]

Its the stupid Ryzen 7 5700 I'm thinking of

Its not a 5700X with a downclock, its a 5700G with no iGPU

so trash

[fickle finch]

is overclocking safe just for a game?

[twin badger]

But... the 5700X also doesn't have an iGPU

[brave field]

anyways, does the drive show up with DISKPART or disk man? Its possible your BIOS ignores uninitialized drives

@twin badger it has less lanes and half the cache or something weird like that

[toxic sentinel]

Also Ryzen 7 5700 don’t support PCI E 4.0

While Ryzen 5 5600 does

[brave field]

yup, horribly misleading

[fickle finch]

is ryzen 7 the latest in the ryzen series

[toxic sentinel]

Nope, it doesn’t show up there either

[brave field]

16mb L3 😭

[twin badger]

Lanes are the same, it's just Gen 3

[twin badger]

Wdym? There are first gen Ryzen 7's and there are 9th gen Ryzen 7's

[void turret]

What igpu means? Does it matter if cpu doesnt have it

[brave field]

integrated GPU. If a CPU doesn't have it, you'll need some other way to get graphics output

[void turret]

Makes sense

Probably getting a build with R5 7600X

[glossy fulcrum]

Anyone here good at advanced calculus?

[snow gazelle]

used to be like 15 years ago. don't remember anything

[fresh aspen]

is a rx 6800 good with a r7 5700x3d

[snow gazelle]

yea

[snow rover]

yea

[snow nebula]

should i buy a 9070xt to pair it with a ryzen 7 5600x or keep using 4060ti

would there be any bottleneck?

[snow gazelle]

Yea. get a faster cpu

[snow nebula]

thank you

[rapid lake]

Would a 2060 super work with a 400w psu and i7 7700

Should there also be a concern of overheating if I only have one fan aside from the CPU

More importantly

Would it even be compatible with the: H110 MH Pro D4

[lost fossil]

one gpu 8pin is 150w in the worst possible scenario

to answer the question, yes if the psu is good

[rapid lake]

And what about the rest

Actually here’s another question too, the PC has the cpu I listed, 16gb of ddr4 (no branding that I can see), stock cpu cooler with one rgb fan, psu I listed and it’s in an ungly looking case imo

along with the mobo

So should I bother getting parts and building around the case and other components or just sell it for like $50 and get a new one

There are some really decent (custom) prebuilts on fb here

I saw one with an 8th gen i7, 3070ti and 16gb ram for $550

Idk if the cpu is too slow for that gpu but still

[thin turtle]

look up the cpu socket and compare it to the motherboard

[thin turtle]

gyaat, that's mostly the gpu price lol

but anything less than 12th gen intel is not good nowadays for new builds imo

one can get an i3 or i5 for a very good value

and the motherboard might be old if it's 8th gen intel

means you'll need a new one

seems like a rip off

[rapid lake]

I saw one with roughly same price

i5 12th gen and 2060

It was probably a bit cheaper

500 i think

[thin turtle]

this might be a better deal if you're willing to sell the gpu and get a better one

2060 can do well for 1080p if it's more than 6GB variant

even the 6GB variant might hold well in older games

it's twice as fast as the rx580 which a very popular low end card

runs 1080p in mid to high settings in almost all games

but overall, that build is still overpriced
for 600 dolla I could find me an rtx 4060 build

depends on the market tho

or even a better gpu if you want amd

[lilac heath]

Which gpu?

[void turret]

4060. Its a bundle build

[void turret]

950€ "starter pack" I would say. Socket AM5, DDR5 etc so I can upgrade easily later

[lilac heath]

8GB vram will be an issue

[solar jungle]

Not sure if anyone's interested but I've managed to sign and install iPA files on iPhone without the need of a PC, there will be no revokes after 7 days and there's no limit to sideloading 3 apps anymore to those who knows what I'm talking about will understand its value, so ask anything if anyone wanna do the same, and no you don't need jailbreak or anything

[lilac heath]

@void turret

[void turret]

I havent played on pc for 10 years so I'll play with that and see then what I need in the future 👍🏻

[lilac heath]

[void turret]

Yeah I know but then build will be over 1200€ and with Ryzen 5 7500F

[lilac heath]

Get 4070 instead

[solar jungle]

4060 is good if you're getting a laptop

not ideal for a desktop

[lilac heath]

True

[solar jungle]

idk why the hell NVIDIA decided to nerf it with VRAM 💀

[void turret]

That is 300€ more than 4060

[solar jungle]

or just get AMD...

[lilac heath]

Invest in a better gpu imo

[lilac heath]

💀

[void turret]

Yeah, I know. I have done an offer request to one shop. Lets see what they say

[lilac heath]

How about 4060ti

16GB

[solar jungle]

getting an AM5 processor

smart

[lilac heath]

It shouldn't be that expensive than 4070

[void turret]

Yes, AM5 and DDR5 are my req

[solar jungle]

honestly just go for an AMD GPU, unless you wanna do video editing or 3d modeling

but even in those things AMD's good now

go full red

[void turret]

Neither one of those but that 950 bundle includes 4060. If I put pick up same parts myself from another site, price would be also 1200+

[lost fossil]

i would've been saying the same thing if it wasn't for their software being somewhat finnicky with recording things

[solar jungle]

oh you're going for a bundle

[lilac heath]

How much is the price of 4060ti 16GB

[void turret]

Probably unless I get a good offer

[void turret]

Oh crap, I forgot. Wait a min

[solar jungle]

tbh bundle is also a good choice and maybe even better

than building one yourself

ofc if you wanna go all custom then...that's another thing

[void turret]

4060 - 329€
4070 - 660€
4060 TI - 509€

[lilac heath]

In a bundle?

[void turret]

No, separately

The bundle with 4060 is like only bundle worth buying. Otherwise prices are easily over 1200

[lilac heath]

Get 4060ti 16gb instead if u cant stretch your budget for 4070

[void turret]

Lets see. I made that offer request in friday so I can expect a reply within 2 days

[lilac heath]

[snow rover]

still convinced vram is purely a meme thing people use to be mad at nvidia

*in a gaming setting

never had issues with a 3070 running out of vram

[civic arch]

you could get a 7800xt for the same price as 4060 ti 16gb

before

or like 50€ more

people will still get nvidia cuz its nvidia

4060 ti 16gb has same vram but is slower

[cold elbow]

The irony is that the 4070 is 12GB

Even the 4070 super

Even the 4070 ti

It's the 4070 ti super where you feel like your purchase is fine
So just go AMD

[thin turtle]

vram stops being relevant in slow cards

10-12 GB is enough for low end cards

1080p

[thin turtle]

I never heard of that issue either, but we learn something new ig
btw you use the 3070 for 1080p only?

[junior flax]

I have the 4070 super and never had a problem where vram is the issue

[snow rover]

no, 1440p

haven't had 1080p anything in years

[thin turtle]

that's impressive

what preset on average

[snow rover]

i don't think it's impressive, i just think running out of vram is purely a meme thing that is not applicable to the real world

[thin turtle]

some games do get past the 8 GB vram in 1440p

even in 1080p but rare

could cause stutters as per youtubers

[snow rover]

but do they get past 8gb on settings that would allow a playable framerate

if you can get past 8gb on ultra mega turbo textures and you'd get 27 fps anyways that doesn't matter

[thin turtle]

yea lol

I've been thinking of getting one

I was gonna get a 4070, then they gone extinct

I've found new 3070s for quite cheap

almost a 4060 price

but Idk if I should just wait for 40 series to come back

[lilac heath]

Yeah 12gb vram is good enough

But u do get more with 7800xt

[thin turtle]

AMD makes a lot of sense

[lilac heath]

[thin turtle]

just get nvidia if you know what you're doing

[junior flax]

Don’t need more my gpu plays what i need on 1440p ultra/gigh

high

[thin turtle]

it should

this all hypothetical

[junior flax]

my gpu was a gift anyway i wasn’t too bothered aslong as it ran what i wanted

[thin turtle]

about future games

not so long ago 6GB vram was enough for 1080p

but now GTA5 enhanced for example gets close to 7GB in ultra

let alone new games

[cold elbow]

Yet

[thin turtle]

some might have not as good optimization as rockstar

[snow rover]

and who plays on 1080p ultra? nobody

[thin turtle]

infact all playstation games are badly optimised as it seems, they are very heavy

[thin turtle]

me

[cold elbow]

Also a lot of games render texture at a lower resolution with nvidia cards to compensate for the lack of VRAM

[lilac heath]

Cuz games are made with consoles in mind and PS4 had around 8gb vram

[cold elbow]

So u playing on ultra but not really

[thin turtle]

isn't that what dlss/fsr all about

[cold elbow]

Nope

[thin turtle]

hm

[thin turtle]

good point

how much does a ps5 has?

[cold elbow]

16 total

Which is ram and vram

[thin turtle]

I see

it's an AMD gpu afterall

they'll be generous with it

[sterile cliff]

Most people prob

Although more and more are switching to 1440p

[lilac heath]

New PS5 Pro has 16gb vram

[thin turtle]

solid

[lilac heath]

And additional 2gb for system

[thin turtle]

considering it doesn't render more than 1080p, that's perfect

[lilac heath]

So maybe the base PS5 has 12gb ram for games and rest for system

[cold elbow]

It's not VRAM

Technology the ps5 has an APU

[thin turtle]

shared memory

[cold elbow]

So it's a shared RAM

[thin turtle]

are APUs bigger than CPUs ?

in size

[cold elbow]

Yeah

Cus u have cpu cores and gpu cores

[thin turtle]

ohh

they're not so popular for desktops

[cold elbow]

Hmmm

Welll it's kinda a secret

But

Lately amd released the chip for the pc market on a laptop
And that chip is a beast
