Who died in there wtf

Poor guy

[upbeat spade]

😭

[compact sierra]

I need to work on that

[junior flax]

why do u want a series s if u got a ps5

[compact sierra]

I'm wanting to play halo and gears of war

[junior flax]

ah fair

[nova steppe]

🤯

[junior flax]

breaking news

[hexed crystal]

dont you have a steam deck for halo

[hexed crystal]

are you sure?

[compact sierra]

I never ended up getting a steam deck i just have my old pc and laptop and the switch and the ps5 slim

[exotic patrol]

everything

I saw that

[void turret]

You saw what?

[junior flax]

Saw nothing

[mystic solar]

Is this new?.. I know I’ve heard about it but I haven’t seen it before the Release Candidate update

[lost fossil]

what even the fuck

[snow rover]

äpfel

i recently updated to oneui 6.1 and it also has some goofy ai stuff

haven't tried any of it

[compact sierra]

Just got the 1tb xbox series s

And it's arriving tomorrow

I am looking forward to seeing it

[compact sierra]

I can't wait until my Xbox comes in the mail

[civic arch]

aint like series s like horrible vaue

it has a shit gpu

how much more is a series x anyways

oh those are cad ??

[compact sierra]

It's Canadian dollars

[slender oar]

150 dollars more

[cold elbow]

And proprietary upgraded storage 💀

[fervent granite]

Since 2020 ™️

[cold elbow]

Still need to buy that and buy smol ssd which is expensive

[agile badger]

not expensive

65-70 real world monies

[fickle finch]

cute

[thin turtle]

how does one take pictures this clean

all I get is light pollution and blur

is it the bg lighting?

[twin badger]

Good camera and adjusting the photo afterwards

Either way, that setup looks like it belongs to some fortnite streamer, just so much going on

[lost fossil]

it might be clean but it's shit

i mean in terms of actual gaming

[thin turtle]

no like in terms of photography

how does one make bright objects uhh yk

[thin turtle]

I thought I had skill issue

[twin badger]

Yeah, not enough mouse space and the monitors are split right in the middle

[civic cloud]

Yeah it's too much

[twin badger]

I never really liked those full sized pads

Much prefer a separate one for my mouse

Less cleaning to do aswell

[civic cloud]

Just use the upper one

[twin badger]

[thin turtle]

maybe oled monitors work better for photography

this one has more pollution

this is what I get when dimming everything

[civic cloud]

Yis

[civic arch]

no space for mouse how do people use these setups

goofy ahh setups with big mousepad but its under the keyboard

[sturdy lance]

imagine deleting system 32

some dumb person actually did it

[void turret]

@thin turtle

Guess their reply to my offer request where I told my budget is 1200 and I told them couple components I wanted to it

[fickle finch]

too bright 😵‍💫

[lost fossil]

inverted case on the left = w for this reason

shit

[lost fossil]

for this one

[fickle finch]

thats a monitor on the left oleg

[lost fossil]

that is not what i meant

[fickle finch]

oh?

[lost fossil]

i changed some things since then though but the layout is the same still

[fickle finch]

wow oleg w setup

[civic arch]

is that monitor comfortable to look at

looks low in the picture

[wary pawn]

Oleg is 2m+ tall. Looking almost from the top.

[lost fossil]

it's fine

[civic cloud]

He just sits on the floor, then the monitor has a good height

[civic arch]

holy hell

am i the only one that keeps monitor at head height almost

much easier to look straight ahead than down or up

[civic cloud]

Eyes should be slightly below the upper end of the monitor and the monitor slightly tilted upwards

[lost fossil]

no i also do that

[civic arch]

when gaming i do keep it kinda close tho

easier to hit those headshots fr

[toxic sentinel]

Actually could it be that my second m.2 isn't detected by BIOS or Windows, because there is an OS on it?

[wary pawn]

Windows like to ignore secondary OSes.

[civic arch]

check the bios settings where it boots form

i have fedora linux and windows and in bios you can choose which to load in

[toxic sentinel]

It won’t detect other SSD in Bios though

[lost fossil]

no

[toxic sentinel]

The one which comes from chipset

[lost fossil]

do u have any sata drives plugged in?

[toxic sentinel]

Nope

[lost fossil]

do u have any other m.2 slots u could use instead?

does ur mobo manual mention anything about certain ports becoming unavailable if you plug something into some other port?

[toxic sentinel]

Not really, but drive should be working as I took it straight from use from my laptop

[lost fossil]

wait

[compact sierra]

I finally got the 1tb xbox series s

[lost fossil]

which keys does your laptop drive have?

and does the m.2 port on the mobo support sata, nvme or sata+nvme?

[toxic sentinel]

It’s NVME

[lost fossil]

what about the other question

[toxic sentinel]

Should be NVME as it’s PCI E 3.0

[lost fossil]

deadass? bc on some mobos some ports are for one protocol only

just in case

also idk try putting it in the main m.2 slot and/or back in the laptop and see if it works at all

[toxic sentinel]

I probably have to do it in the future

Would need to reinsert whole GPU to do it

[cold elbow]

i sometimes think about switching to normal monitors instead of an ultrawide + shitty monitor that is older than me

[exotic patrol]

what are some good cheap IEMs that don't have a mic

[snow rover]

none have a mic, if there's a mic it's part of the cable

[exotic patrol]

aren't there some where the cable doesn't have a mic

[snow rover]

yes

[exotic patrol]

I was referring to those

[lost fossil]

most if not all cheap iems have options for mic and no mic

[full sierra]

why is the ps5 on the floor ?

[thin turtle]

what did they say

[void turret]

Offered their own bundle for 1350€ and I told in request my budget is 1200€

[lost fossil]

bc ikea kallax cubes are not big enough to fit it

[void turret]

Customize it and take one shelf off

[lost fossil]

yeah that's an option but i kinda cba

[void turret]

Yea

[thin turtle]

my setup after applying some fake ass darkness

that's a big file

[void turret]

Among sus

[void turret]

Took a moment to load it on mobile

[thin turtle]

the greed

[void turret]

I really thought they would make like discounted offer of my build recommendation

[snow rover]

well

look at it from the business pov

is it really worth the time to make custom bundles for every customer buying in for 1k

at the company i work at you don't get discounts if you aren't spending 50k or thereabouts

[void turret]

Yeah I get it. Even they said in offer details "we might give a discount for components"

I didnt expect to get an offer what is over my budget

[thin turtle]

teach me some krita 😩

I've painted once in krita

it was amazing

idk what's this supposed to be

[brave field]

congrats on the series s

[thin turtle]

ty

[brave field]

you're welcome friend

[nova steppe]

it's better to look slightly down than always slightly up

[quartz kayak]

@rapid lake

Did the seller get you or something

Wtf

[rapid lake]

Sup

He ran out

Said he’ll get more 2060s in the next two days

Saturday I’ll hit him up

Maybe a better deal will come up till then

Because I don’t feel like paying extra for 2060s even if it’s a good price

2060 will do

Also I heard these cards are way cheaper in like US

[nova steppe]

I had a blue screen, which allowed my PC to update (that I didn't want to do), and now there's no clock on the calendar. Is there a way to bring it back? I kinda needed to be able to see seconds

I can add a clock itself under the date through Control Panel (which I just found), but it doesn't have seconds, only hours and minutes

I figured out a way, but the seconds don't update live, you have to keep reopening the calendar 😭

[wary pawn]

Try this ^

[exotic patrol]

you can also

[nova steppe]

so the solution really is just regedit 😭
every search option from up to 8 years ago (obv not Google) mentioned it

[thin turtle]

what's a .reg

[exotic patrol]

Registry editor file

[thin turtle]

never seen this file before

[exotic patrol]

on w11 they made it a native setting

[thin turtle]

suspicious name

[lost fossil]

he doesn't know

[cold elbow]

I fucking hate printers drivers

[fickle finch]

Just update them?

[exotic patrol]

no they're just terribly made

[thin turtle]

pdf printer never let me down

[thin turtle]

omg I found a cheap 3080

I will buy

350 dolla

[void turret]

Nice

[thin turtle]

mikko unpremium 😟

it's either this or a new 3070 for 335

shop owner said they expect a 3080 in 2 weeks, must be a used one

I'm afraid it's been used for mining

but like there are better options

hmm

we'll see

[cold elbow]

Is it the 10 gig version?

[thin turtle]

ofc

12GB are almost extinct

[cold elbow]

3070 is a piece of shit so go with the 3080

And there's nothing wrong with mining cards if you test them properly

Only issue they might have is wear on the fans or need paste replacement

[thin turtle]

yeah I'm learning how to test now lol
it is most likely mined on
he straight up gave me an ETA and price

maybe a big shipment

[cold elbow]

Testing is basically running furmark and watching hwinfo

But before u do that

[thin turtle]

I might take it to other store to check the physical aspects

[cold elbow]

U open afterburner and maximize voltage, power and temp limits

[thin turtle]

what would that tell me

[cold elbow]

U will let the card give you all it got

It will draw as much power as it needs which will lead to higher temps

What u need to look for is crashes or weird artifacts

[thin turtle]

so if it crashes it's good? as in safe

orr

[cold elbow]

And if temperature goes up to the roof quickly < this means bad paste

[thin turtle]

oh I see

ty

[cold elbow]

It should not crash or show any weird artifacts

[thin turtle]

I'll keep it in mind

[cold elbow]

My method is basically giving the card the highest load it can ever face
It will never see such load while gaming but if there are signs of failure it will show up running this test

[thin turtle]

yeah

you make a good point

[cold elbow]

I bought like 6 mining cards

[thin turtle]

😼

they usually sell cheap right?

[lost fossil]

who tf 🤣ing ma gurl lemon

[thin turtle]

where

I'll 🤣 you

[cold elbow]

Yep

Cus people afraid of them for no reason

Profit for me

[thin turtle]

do you resell them for a gooder price?

[lost fossil]

low effort

at least use

[thin turtle]

boo nitro cheating

[cold elbow]

Ye

I bought 3 1070 ti back then for 200$

[thin turtle]

how do you convince ur customers

[cold elbow]

Used one and sold two for 600$

[thin turtle]

wow

[cold elbow]

The seller was a fool because he thought they were broken

One of them had a broken fan fin so i replaced the fans for 15$

[toxic sentinel]

I actually undervolted my GPU while overclocking

[cold elbow]

The other was overheating so i repasted it

[cold elbow]

The idea here to let the card draw more power intentionally

[thin turtle]

the greatest technician that's ever lived

[cold elbow]

[thin turtle]

our market is so weak

[toxic sentinel]

I got it stable with -0,025mv undervolt while raising up core clock by +200 and 200+ for memory clocks

[thin turtle]

I don't think this would work
but I'll try it as a hobby

[toxic sentinel]

With -0,050mv my game crashed

And I did raise powerlimit by 20%

[cold elbow]

It's just being able to find deals
It's not a market really

Most cards nowadays are being refurbished and sold new

[thin turtle]

fair

[cold elbow]

This doesn't make any sense

How is it an undervolt if you raised power limit

Tbh i haven't messed with amd overclocking yet because this card just eats everything i throw at it

[civic cloud]

Yeah zomboid is super demanding fr

[cold elbow]

With our 400+ mods hell yeah

[toxic sentinel]

Did drop voltage by -0,025mv

[cold elbow]

My 3070 was terrible running that game because vram fills quickly

[thin turtle]

some people modify it with 16GB VRAM but seems to have no effect at all

might need a custom driver

[toxic sentinel]

Idk I just watched how other people overclock my card

[thin turtle]

only works in a spill out situation, likely in a bad optimized game

[cold elbow]

I used to do a lot of oc with my old 1060

[nova steppe]

Sending the memory clocks to the moon was fun

[nova steppe]

I don't think I've seen the Vram usage under 6.8GB in any game where performance matters. I'm constantly filling it

[toxic sentinel]

Updated GPU drivers and my screen went completely black

Had to restart from power button, but seems that it’s working now so I guess it was a success?

[nova steppe]

How long did you wait after it went black?

[toxic sentinel]

Like couple of minutes then force a shut down with power button

But seems that drivers are up to date now

[thin turtle]

did you ddu?

conflicting drivers might cause that

but yeah if it's working now then

[twin badger]

What card?

Cuz that sounds like rookie numbers, i am running a stable 0.95V undervolt, coming from about 1.1

All with the same clock speeds

and like a 1000 mhz overclock to the memory

[toxic sentinel]

RX 6600 XT

[twin badger]

I am on a 3070 ti

Ive found that undervolting AMD cards from the same generation typically isnt as viable

but most of them run cool enough by default

[snow gazelle]

what are your settings?
i can do better than this but i want 100% stable

[toxic sentinel]

Almost same

[snow gazelle]

i can do 1.05V but it only saves like 15W

[twin badger]

It saves me like 60 or so watts doing my undervolt

30 series cards undervolt really well

[thin turtle]

undervolting is card specific

even if they are the same model

[snow gazelle]

ik. was just curious to see his settings.

[thin turtle]

I will undervolt the potential 3080 to hell

I'm still using a 1080p setup

[snow gazelle]

3080 is a 1440p card for like 95% of the games

[nova steppe]

What does that really even mean anymore

[brave field]

game gets higher fps at 1440p than higher resolutions, but isn't fully utilized at a lower resolution with reasonable settings?

[cold elbow]

Not anymore because 10 gigs vram

It's fine for 1080

[snow gazelle]

only like 5% of games would go over that and that too on ultra settings

which are useless

[cold elbow]

If you say it like that then yeah
But if you say new games then the percentage is a lot higher

Like for example the latest AC game

[snow gazelle]

i honestly wouldn't play on 1080p with 3080 just cuz of 5% demanding/unoptimized games and have worse gaming experience in 95% games

and you've DLSS and last resort frame gen in those demanding games

[nova steppe]

I run out of vram in Cyberpunk before I run out of gpu util

[quartz kayak]

They are sadly

Thats just how the us 2nd hand market works

[civic cloud]

Talking about DLSS

BFV only allows for very specific GPUs with very specific resolutions to use DLSS

Very odd

[fresh aspen]

guys why i got 60 fps 50 fps with rtx 4060 and i7 14700f

[cold elbow]

We will need more details

[fresh aspen]

16 giga of ram 1 ssd nvme 3or 4 800 watt power supplie

ddr4

and motherboard gigabyte b760m

[snow gazelle]

on what resolution and settings?

[fresh aspen]

im on 1080p and higt settings

[twin badger]

Do you use any sort of overlay program?

Like MSI afterburner

[fresh aspen]

i have msi burner on

its 60 70 fps

cpu is 30 percent and gpu 70

cpu maybe like 10 30\

[wicked vale]

Is anyone here good with tech?

Like motherboard charging port stuff

[shadow star]

@wicked vale image reference

[wicked vale]

This the context

My device won't charge and idk if it's normal for it to be sticking out that much
And whenever it does charge it's a issue since the charger needs to be severely bent and u cannot move it so need to be still with ur hand holding it

And so I kinda need help with the charging port like should it be out that much or not?

The device is a Amazon fire tablet

[snow rover]

the port on the board looks fine from that angle, for it to move the solder joints would have to break

take a picture that shows the pins inside

[wicked vale]

The pins?

Idk where to find the pins

Can dm the full motherboard

[snow rover]

the little golden strips inside of the ports

[wicked vale]

I've sent additional images in dms

The best I could get inside the port

Cause everything else is fine

It's just the charging

[snow rover]

that picture isn't good enough to be useful

[wicked vale]

It's the best I can kinda get

[wicked vale]

Did u see the second image of the port?

[snow rover]

yes

[wicked vale]

It's best image I can get off it

And it only started around a yr ago

Bc I hadn't used it for a couple years

Maybe a little longer

So didn't notice the problem when it originally became a issue

[snow rover]

working at certain angles pretty much guarantees it's physical damage to the port or the cable

it's not an electrical issue on the board

[wicked vale]

Tried sending pictures using another device to see if it helps

[wicked vale]

So it's most likely just the charging port connected to the motherboard?

Bc ik it's not the chargers

They seem to work on other devices

And the battery itself looks fine even tho it's a little old

[snow rover]

if the cable works on other devices then almost certainly the port is bad

[wicked vale]

Do u know how to replace the port?

Cause I've got pictures on there

And other data

And use to use it when other stuff was charging

[snow rover]

well yes but if you need to ask it's not feasible

[wicked vale]

Feasible?

[snow rover]

buying the equipment and learning the skills to replace the usb port on a tablet that isn't worth anything

[wicked vale]

Not rlly looking to sell it anytime soon

Want it repaired to make sure I have all the photos and videos off it

R there any online services or anything where I can send it off to get fixed?

Bc while it's not worth much to others to me it's worth a lot since there's stuff I need from it

[snow rover]

sure, contact local repair stores and ask if they'll replace a usb port

i would imagine most can do that

[wicked vale]

Any idea how much it might cost?

[snow rover]

dunno, hundred bucks?

[wicked vale]

I'll have to wait until next month then

Cause that's when I get paid

Bc of pip

And I'll need to ask friends about local repair shops since idk where my closest one is

Last question is would data be reset if I sent it to get fixed?

[snow rover]

no

[wicked vale]

Phew

I'll ask friends about local repair shops and go from there

For now I'll put the case back on

Ty for the help

[sterile cliff]

No unless the repair guy is a douche

why specifically on opera though

That’s what I use

Anyways I opted for using Sumatra

[exotic patrol]

Well from what I can see it's a hard limit so you can't really do it or if you can it'll be really blurry and goofy

[cold elbow]

I use Nitro for pdf

[rapid lake]

Yeah I tried

Sumatra works well but it’s kind slow

Or maybe it’s my laptop lmao

[exotic patrol]

anything is better than acrobat

For some reason the course is just one loooong PDF page

And I have to zoom in to like 800% to see things

[exotic patrol]

I think

I mean our professors aren’t any better at using technology

One of them still uses one of those thick qosmo toshibas or whatever they were called

Meanwhile I’m using a laptop from 2015 and I feel ancient

[nova steppe]

ooh

aah

[rapid lake]

Look at that bad boy

[nova steppe]

They don't make 'em like that no more...

[rapid lake]

Idk about you but my experience with old laptops was really bad

They always managed to break

Most common issue for me was the battery dying and having to keep it plugged in like it’s a desktop

[cold elbow]

Duhh

Most actual common issue is your hdd having lot of bad sectors and it needs years to open a browser

[civic cloud]

Red for more speed?

[civic cloud]

My work laptop is on the best way to do that as well

[rapid lake]

Damn right

[rapid lake]

I only used mine to play games

Especially that diner game idk what it was called

But you just server and cook food and stuff, and you have to keep up with the customers

Another really nostalgic game I used to play on old android tablet is Diner Mania

Too bad the dev gave up on it years ago

[manic ibex]

Bad piggie was my favorite mobile game

Totally fine for 1080p monitors

[fickle finch]

Bad piggie?

[wary pawn]

2017 here (it was an 2016 product).

[wary pawn]

My old laptop from 2008 was Compaq

[wary pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/extra-thicc-extra-thicc-thick-extra-thick-gif-21812607

[trail cape]

It's such a terrible value

And also are we talking about the 8GB variant?

Because that isn't "totally fine'

[toxic sentinel]

Well when new GPU's are almost 1000€ it becomes kinda good

[trail cape]

True

[toxic sentinel]

RTX 4070 Super raised to 1000€ as well

[trail cape]

Yeah GPU market is an actual trash can atm

[toxic sentinel]

8GB isn't that great, but AMD lacks behind with their FSR

[trail cape]

Yep, yep

AMD and Intel are both playing catch-up

Nvidia's the only one with a vision, as bad that vision may be

[toxic sentinel]

Intel actually little bit ahead of AMD as they have been using AI

[trail cape]

AMD and Intel just create a worse version of what Nvidia has

In terms software features

[toxic sentinel]

AMD just woke up with their RX 9070 series

[toxic sentinel]

Too bad it cost almost 1000€

[trail cape]

Yeah, like I've said - absolute dumpster fire atm

Honestly only people who actually have a REALLY good reason should even bother

[toxic sentinel]

Arc B580 is so good right now

[trail cape]

Everyone else should wait this out

[toxic sentinel]

Also FSR4 won't be on previous GPU from AMD

[trail cape]

I know

[toxic sentinel]

They say that it could be available for 7000 series in the future, but that will be seen

As what I understand it needs AI cores which series 7000 don't have

[trail cape]

Good

More space for cuda cores

[toxic sentinel]

So if you get serise 7000 now you will be left behind for FSR improvements in the future

[toxic sentinel]

If RX 9070 would had been priced right it would had been must have GPU, but now meh

[trail cape]

Yeah

[toxic sentinel]

It's too close to Nvidia pricing

[trail cape]

But it was clearly an upsell to XT

[toxic sentinel]

Yeah, but still I can get RTX 5070 at 680€

[rapid lake]

Compaq? Never heard of it

[toxic sentinel]

Which has far superior DLSS4 vs FSR

Multiframe gen etc.

[trail cape]

Ye

[toxic sentinel]

RX 9070 has 4gb more VRAM, but idk if that's enough to not consider Nvidia

Especially when it's cheaper or same price at what AMD offers

[trail cape]

Luckily, I have a very powerful GPU so I'm set for now and the 50 series isn't enough of an improvement to justify switching, even if you leave pricing out of the equation

[toxic sentinel]

It has got so bad that I'm considering Intel Arc B580

[trail cape]

Lol

In regards to the B580 I also wanted to mention that drivers are still a bit hit or miss depending on the game

[toxic sentinel]

Yeah, but seems that it runs well on games that I would be playing

As long as it has 60-70 or more fps I'm good

Depending on the game

[trail cape]

You have very low expectations

I'm more of a high-end gamer

So to me personally Intel Arc might as well not even exist

[toxic sentinel]

Well I run games with highest graphic settings that I can run

[trail cape]

Oh wait, that's right

[toxic sentinel]

As long as I get more than 60fps

[trail cape]

Blue username

That explains those expectations lol

[toxic sentinel]

Not same blue as Playstation

[trail cape]

Oh mb lol

[toxic sentinel]

I choose graphics over fps anytime though

Depending on the game

[trail cape]

Yeah I was gonna say

But I have a pretty high FPS threshold below which I'm unhappy

I love games like Shadow of The Tomb Raider

They run exceedingly well with stunning visuals

Unlike modern day garbage that game companies are churning out

Nvidia wants to make your textures blurry if you pay only for RTX 4060

[exotic patrol]

nvm it was a fake post

but the new BSOD sucks

[civic cloud]

Why? I hope to not see it anyway

It only needs to give me an error code

[exotic patrol]

true but it just loses that charm

and the way they mark things as "streamlined" when in reality it's just lazy simplifying

[civic cloud]

Why is it yellow

[jovial tide]

As much as I hate w11, I'm glad I bit the bullet when I did

[cold elbow]

I guess you were the beta testers for us

Windows 11 been getting better with time but whenever i use it there's something that annoys me a lot
Like for example i wanted to change the project settings to show stuff on two screens.... clicking on the bottom right settings didn't show anything but few simple stuff!!! So i had to google it and found the shortcut which is win+P

...
In the network settings there was no option to show network adapter settings like on windows 10
So i had to manually search the control panel and navigate to network settings from there

Their idea of simplifying is taking stuff away and making it harder for power users.

[civic cloud]

Imagine working an office job and not knowing Win P

[cold elbow]

Shut up pepegauss

[exotic patrol]

you can also just ncpa.cpl

[exotic patrol]

insider build

this is what it looks like for normal builds

[cold elbow]

No clue what that is

And you really think i can remember a command

[exotic patrol]

I remember a whole majority of cpl commands it saves a lot of time than looking manually

but yeah the casual user won't

[cold elbow]

I bet u can do 90% of them by using search

[exotic patrol]

yeah but it's still faster for me to just win + r > appwiz.cpl and uninstall something for example

same with ncpa for adapter settings

[cold elbow]

I just click win and write remo
It shows "add or remove" as the first option and i click enter on that

[exotic patrol]

true everyone has their way of doing it

[civic cloud]

Mad

[civic cloud]

Why is it black and not blue bright as the sun

[gaunt topaz]

Apparently they're testing a plain new version in newer builds

worst graphics for the performance

[trail cape]

I guess they just didn't care

[shadow star]

Well , got my laptop checked at a shop and the camera is broken . Need to replace it

[nova steppe]

Bro has never heard of a USB camera

[sterile cliff]

It does help systems that are running the 30 series for example

But using frame gen as a crutch should not be a thing

[cold elbow]

watcging something on youtube be like

[exotic patrol]

lmao

[toxic sentinel]

It depends probably which game you're playing as my experience with Cyberpunk 2077 isn't great with it

Too much visual artifacts, but maybe DLSS 4 is an improvement on that

[snow gazelle]

only use i see getting from 60 to 120. sub 60 is too much input lag and if fps is already 90+ don't need more than that in SP games
and it's useless in competitive games

[nova steppe]

But is there more or less input lag going from native 60FPS to 120 with FG?

[snow gazelle]

whatever input lag is at 60fps

[brave field]

@toxic sentinel What was your base framerate beforehand?

[toxic sentinel]

I tried to keep base framerate 60+

[brave field]

Its definitely not something to blanket turn on everywhere but so many problems go away when its used >80fps

I say underrated not because its objectively better to have on 100% of the time, but because it's treated as if it's entirely worthless most of the time

[toxic sentinel]

And now AMD has their own frame gen and Intel as well

[brave field]

I guess its hard to explain. I have a better time with AFMF2 than a lot of people using DLSSFG

[toxic sentinel]

Intel needs more games for their XeSS though

[brave field]

XeSS2 framegen's been out since December 2024 or so?

I saw two laptop demos and literally NOTHING since

[toxic sentinel]

Yeah I think that F1 game is only game which uses XeSS 2 frame gen

[lost fossil]

it was underrated

[brave field]

If only studios prioritized it over putting FSR 2.2 in new releases. FSR4 won't even be available for non-partnered studios until the latter half of the year!

[toxic sentinel]

Intel has made sure that it works well when it works though

[brave field]

XeSS does a wonderful job

[toxic sentinel]

FSR4 kinda meh as most AMD GPU's won't get it

But it's move to right direction

[brave field]

That's what makes XeSS so good. Runs a bit worse, looks much better than FSR2, FSR4 probably won't be mainstream until 2027, and FSR3 is only barely becoming common now

[toxic sentinel]

FSR 4 could battle against XeSS though as it's using AI now as well

[brave field]

I kinda hoped DirectSR and the relevant Vulkan extensions would be made by now, so you could choose at an OS or control panel level

[toxic sentinel]

I'm eyeing for a GPU upgrade

[brave field]

no more hoping the studio likes the upscaler, expose the motion vectors and other info to Direct3D/vk_whatever and let the user decide

You're on a 3080 right now?

[toxic sentinel]

RX 6600 XT

On a 1440p monitor

Was thinking about Arc B580 as it seems to be decent budget 1440p card

[brave field]

Isn't it a bit too close to what you have?

I guess it does perform disproportionally well at resolutions above 1080p

[toxic sentinel]

Other option is RTX 5070

But it's 2x the price of B580

I have only R5 5600 though so idk if RTX 5070 would be an overkill

[brave field]

it'll be fine

[toxic sentinel]

Biggest problem what I have with RX 6600 XT is it's 8gb VRAM

It's already forcing me to reduce textures/resolution on games

[brave field]

Do you predict the used market for 40 series might improve near you in some months?

[toxic sentinel]

Doubt it as I live in EU

[brave field]

everything 4070 and up should feel wonderful

ah

[toxic sentinel]

I would had got RX 9070 if it was cheaper

But it's more expensive than RTX 5070 so that don't make sense

[brave field]

If AMD doesn't completely fail the 9060 XT, that could be decent

[nova steppe]

I'm fine with being capped to 60fps as long as my game looks good, but when I get constant stutters because I run out of VRAM, I start to loathe the gaming experience.

[brave field]

Things have to get better eventually. But it sure feels like its been downhill a long while

[nova steppe]

I play 3 games mainly, a few more on/off, and get stuttering of some sort in all of them.

[toxic sentinel]

And even that would probably be too close to RTX 5070 price to justify it at least in Europe

RX 9070 XT almost 1000€

[brave field]

that's IF it isn't another 6500XT or 7600XT disaster

hang in there man

It's true in the Nintendo direct the switch 2 will require an express sd card

https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/tech-specs/?srsltid=AfmBOor4F4ZnQ1jQcBQbWvrnFyqcA9vL65Wt1fNO4VOfMD7WuSvNquYj

This the specs of the switch 2

[compact sierra]

I'm actually being serious here

[compact sierra]

It's Nintendo here they'll include built in storage but they will add a sd slot the sd card is to increase storage

[lost fossil]

idk, something about a game console requiring an sd card just doesn't sound right

[civic arch]

hopefully its some weird type of sd card so you need their specific one

so they can charge you alot of money

like xbox storage which is insanely priced

external ones

[jovial tide]

From the specs video, seems to just be normal SD cards, just like the steam deck

Nvm, I take it back lmfao

[sterile cliff]

wait 90 for the standard edition?

wtf

thats a scam

[jovial tide]

Mhm

[civic cloud]

Yes it makes sense the games get more expensive, it's crazy how long they stayed at 60 anyway

[sterile cliff]

well it is nintendo so for them its called business

[jovial tide]

Sure it might "make sense" to have games at that price, but what doesn't make sense is the content you get for 90% of those games

The crazy thing to me is how people just accept it, like "it's only 20 (or 10) extra dollars" for half assed work majority of the time. Meanwhile indie devs kicking AAA games into the fucking ground and cost half the price

[civic cloud]

Don't mix up the target demographic of first party Nintendo games

1. Kids (they don't care about price since the parents are buying a game for Christmas anyway)
2. Young adults with a job who have nostalgia about the good old days (they will spend whatever amount necessary as a coping mechanism for the cruel reality)

Neither of these is particularly budget conscious or into Indie Games

[jovial tide]

I'm talking about games in general, just as you were

[civic cloud]

ah

Well Indie Games have a lot of unpaid labour because these are passion projects

most of them don't make sense from a financial standpoint

I Don't know if this is the official retail price for the switch 2 in Canada or if it'll change in months time when it's closer to the launch date

[compact sierra]

Same way young adults who still plays Pokémon games that have played them when they're kids still try and recapture their childhood with Pokémon games today

[civic cloud]

exactly

[twin badger]

No, it doesn't make sense. You keep increasing prices of games like that, don't be surprised to see an even more massive surge in piracy.

Also, without proper regionalized pricing, a lot of people from third world countries will just not be able to afford them at all.

[civic cloud]

The game Devs will want more money because of inflation and games keep getting more complex (aka you need more people), so why would the price of the game stay the same?

idk if Nintendo does regional pricing

[twin badger]

Because gaming is way bigger than it used to be, so the amount of people who will buy it at those 60 dollars will still be significantly higher and the overall profits are gonna be higher than if you were to price it at 90 with way less people buying it at that price

[civic cloud]

That's a fair argument, but on the other hand there's also way way more games on the market now, which you have to compete against

Look, in the end they will just keep increasing the price as long as the people buy it, no matter if it's economically necessary or not

I guess Nintendo will set the industry standard with pricing, just like Apple did with the charger and headphone jack

can i update from win10 to win11

without losing my files

or if you rich 4070 ti super

4060 ti 16gb is the real idiots choice

you can get a 7800xt for the same price or less

even with shit amd rt its better

piece of my soul crumbles when i hear that anyone bought one

[cold elbow]

nvidia marketiing is good

amd isnt

[zealous anvil]

as long it can hold AAA game w good fps is enough for me

and kinda have limit budget on gpu

[cold elbow]

that's the neat part

you cant

[civic arch]

hate when people act like dlss is the jesus of gamers

saving their wallets and giving free fps

Can anyone tell me why some games randomly minimise themselves?

like I'm out here battlefielding or factorioring and the shit closes

[cold elbow]

Your friend trolling you

[jovial tide]

I suppose to an extent it is free FPS, but devs relying on it to brute force performance is fucking stupid as shit

[cold elbow]

It was free free performance for a bit then all games became unplayable without them so here we go again

In the cyberpunk times, it was a nice OPTIONAL setting

And especially nice for my 1660 at the time

The only advantage nvidia has is slightly better RT and CUDA anyway

[nova steppe]

If you have an AMD CPU, it could be some background updater.
It happens to me sometimes

[civic cloud]

Got a 5800X3D and it happens like 2-3 times in a session

[nova steppe]

I have the same CPU, but it's never that often. Could also be the game and Windows trolling you with resolutions if you play Borderless Window, clicking off to another screen?

[civic cloud]

No I'm playing full screen and it also happens in other games

[frail lark]

Who knows how can i make TXT files for each Column of Data from an Excel Sheet?

[brave field]

Maybe you can do a column export as a CSV?

[frail lark]

And how can i do that?

[brave field]

should be an export button. I don't have excel open to say for sure, but if it works like the print menu, you can choose "export selection"

[frail lark]

I only want it to export the Sheet, not the Whole Book tho, and i need a single File separately for every column that has Data

[brave field]

If it exists like when printing, "export selection" exports your selected tiles instead of the book. You can use it multiple times to get multiple files

[frail lark]

My idea is to make all the files at once, because they are quite a lot and saving each single one manually is not really viable

[exotic patrol]

bravo rockstar

[wary pawn]

[twin badger]

As shit as it is, it's really the only appropiately new priced GPU on the market

Pretty much everything else above that is soooo inflated in price

So i am not really judging anyone for buying that card at this point

[snow gazelle]

6600 is close to msrp too

[toxic sentinel]

What is this pricing?

[snow rover]

679,99€ and 789,99€

[thin turtle]

bravo vince

[thin turtle]

99% in gpu usage is not a bad thing

it means it's being utilized properly

and the 4060 is not a shit gpu

it performs how it's supposed to be

1080p max settings

it's overpriced, that's all

[thin turtle]

yeah surprisingly the price didn't overshoot

I just saw some guy adding 50% to his price on a used 3080

went from 350 dolla to like 480

[twin badger]

It's a couple years old by this point

And the stock of that card is dwindling

[civic cloud]

just like my will to live :D

[thin turtle]

[twin badger]

[upbeat spade]

you still have stock? damn

[thin turtle]

stock of what

[fickle finch]

Lol

[civic arch]

europe likes amd

nvidia seems to be stock for 5070 and 5070 ti

5070 ti is insanely pricy tho

[sterile cliff]

Bruh

790 euros

[toxic sentinel]

Yeah it if RTX 5070 is priced much lower than RX 9070 or even XT it might not make sense to pick AMD

[sterile cliff]

I mean

The 5070 is kinda shit

At that price anyway

Maybe it will go down in price but i seriously doubt it

[toxic sentinel]

They sell every piece of that RX 9070 so I doubt it

[sterile cliff]

But if nvidia were to introduce the 5080 to its cloud gaming service, which im currently paying for( ultimate tier which is a 4080) i dont know if ill actually be satisfied with it

Ultimate tier subs do get the upgrade but like way down the line

Itll be at least 6 to 12 months till we get it

[toxic sentinel]

RX 9070 XT would be awesome choice if it wasn’t priced 200€ above RTX 5070

[sterile cliff]

Dont get me wrong the 4080 on geforce now

Top tier for 20 euros a month

But with the 5080's perfomance

I seriously doubt its gonna be better

[thin turtle]

40 to 50 series is not a big jump

they messed up

[sterile cliff]

4080 is a raw power gpu

5080 is an AI power gpu
