[unkempt bloom]

hi guys, my PC refuses to load into advanced boot options, this has never happened, can yall help?

[cold elbow]

The side of these fans looks hideous

[unkempt bloom]

im often really good at fixing ts, but nothing woks now

[cold elbow]

Why do you want to access it?

Usually if you need BIOS then just boot it up then click whatever bios configuration key of your motherboard

[unkempt bloom]

boot from hard drive and repair bootloader

[unkempt bloom]

yes, but i dont want my bois

[cold elbow]

Then click the boot key

Usually f12

[unkempt bloom]

doesnt work but ill try 1 more time

[cold elbow]

Check online for the book key for your motherboard

[civic cloud]

Sometimes it's F2 or del

[cold elbow]

That's usually bios keys

[unkempt bloom]

it didnt work, i did get to my bios which is good, but i want to boot from hard disk, not always boot from disk tho

damn..

[unkempt bloom]

fk it, ill reinstall windows

[nova steppe]

Yeah... Huge "bezels," and cuz of that diffuser, the colours will never truly match, also.

[quaint helm]

H9 is a cool case just need AIO to look full n cool

[tidal plume]

I don’t like it

[rapid lake]

Isn't it not ideal to have equal amount of intake and exhaust fans

[quaint helm]

imo its base on which case

i will run more intake and maybe 1/2 very good pressure + speed exhaustb

[rapid lake]

My case comes with 3 intake in the front and one exhaust in the back

I like the look of exhaust fans on the top though

Keeps dust out too

[tidal plume]

My PC is under the desk

On a carpet

[tidal plume]

I’m for real I’m not home and the desk has absolutely no space I can hardly move my mouse 😭

[lost fossil]

under the desk is understandable and acceptable

on a carpet -

[quaint helm]

ig u need a itx build now lol

[tidal plume]

The carpet happened to be under the desk I can’t change that 😭

[tidal plume]

O

[thin turtle]

Donot

PC on ceramic is worse fate

[cold elbow]

I agree

Another suggestion

[tidal plume]

Huh

What are you guys saying?

[lost fossil]

certified classic

[tidal plume]

Bait

[quaint helm]

why the hell is the bar pink

[thin turtle]

Femboy edition

[lost fossil]

always has been

[fickle finch]

Did you setup a RAID?

[quaint helm]

he setup a raid shadow legend

[lost fossil]

mister shadowlegend?

[civic cloud]

Did you guys hear about today's sponsor?

[fickle finch]

No lol

Also cute theme

[lost fossil]

i did set up a raidz in my serverseedbox

[fickle finch]

What is raidz

[lost fossil]

a zfs thing

[fickle finch]

Not sure about that. I wanted to ask if you setup a domain controller before in a VM with windows server

[lost fossil]

i have not

[fickle finch]

Oh

It's part of setting up an active directory and joining PCs to the domain to control a different set of policies like who is allowed to edit a setting, install something etc

[wheat spruce]

hi

[stone apex]

Because nya.

[rapid lake]

What should I use to cap my fps in games

Right now I’m using the nvidia control panel and applying to every game individually

And also is it better to cap FPS to 60 or slightly higher than to use vsync

[thin turtle]

Higher

[rapid lake]

Some games, especially FPS games where I get 200+ fps I start to get tearing

60hz display

[thin turtle]

If your monitor is 60 you shall do like 120

[quaint helm]

121 better

[thin turtle]

Depends on your setup

But it has benefits

[rapid lake]

Yeah for now it’s 60

I plan on getting a 180hz monitor soon

[thin turtle]

Reduce input lag n shi

[rapid lake]

120 it is

[quaint helm]

reduce fun

[snow gazelle]

120 or 147 wouldn't make any difference

Just cap where so your gpu doesn't hit 100%

[rapid lake]

In RDR2 I can just barely get to 120

Ah, good idea

[thin turtle]

I'm saying 120 because usually that what comes after 60 lol

[rapid lake]

Should I just continue using nvidia?

[quaint helm]

no DLSS/FSR?

[snow gazelle]

That's single player game so i'd just use vsync

[rapid lake]

Using quality DLSS

I haven’t tried other modes, they say it makes the gane blurry and whatnot

[rapid lake]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing now

GPU is chilling at 65c

[snow gazelle]

For single player games use vsync, MP games use nvidia low latency thingy

[rapid lake]

G-sync

My monitor is not compatible with that

[snow gazelle]

Not gsync

Nvidia reflex

[rapid lake]

Nvidia reflex low latwncy?

[snow gazelle]

It stops gpu from hitting 100% for less input lag

[rapid lake]

Oh I see

Do all/most games have that

[snow gazelle]

Most pvp games

Where it matters

[rapid lake]

Good

[snow gazelle]

Ngl playing pvp games at 60hz is painful

[rapid lake]

Btw I fixed the override issue with fancontrol by… just reinstalling it

[snow gazelle]

Unless it's like MMO

[rapid lake]

Still don’t know what was taking over the fans, my guess is it’s the GPU itself

[rapid lake]

I’ve seen higher refrsh rates but not enough for it to bother me

And I’m not that interested in competitve games ngl

Mainly because I don’t have the skill

[snow gazelle]

Then use vsync and let your gpu chill. Could run it higher res than your monitor if you've spare gpu power

[rapid lake]

Wdym run it higher res

Like downscale?

[snow gazelle]

Yea

It'll look a bit better especially if game has bs TAA

[rapid lake]

It does

I think the game has the option for that too

If I set it to 2x that’ll be 1440p?

[snow gazelle]

2x for 1080p is 4k

[rapid lake]

Oh

[thin turtle]

Fr

[rapid lake]

1.25

Actually I wanna try 2x some time lol

[snow gazelle]

You could run at higher res then use dlss quality to bring back some fps. It'll still look better than native

[rapid lake]

See what happens

[rapid lake]

I use dlss quality for the performance and graphics boost

[thin turtle]

5 fps

If we're generous

[snow gazelle]

What's your gpu

[rapid lake]

Also helps keep my GPU at ~70% usage

3060

[rapid lake]

[snow gazelle]

That'll struggle at 4k

[thin turtle]

Do more

Let it go to 99

[snow gazelle]

Use dlss balanced along with it

[rapid lake]

Yeah I just want to give it a try

[rapid lake]

Why

I’m at 60fps using vsync

[thin turtle]

Gooder performance

[rapid lake]

Gooner performance

[thin turtle]

Oh you got that monitor bottleneck

I too have a 1080p 60hz

[rapid lake]

I don’t like how hot my GPU gets at 100%

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Although it’s not dangerously hot

80-82

[snow gazelle]

Undervolt can fix that

[rapid lake]

I just don’t feel comfortable with it

[snow gazelle]

Bring it down to like 75

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[rapid lake]

Well I’m not playing any games that need my GPU at 100% for 60fps

So I’m good for now

[snow gazelle]

UV still helps even with fps cap

[thin turtle]

Rdr2

[rapid lake]

Even when I get higher refresh rate monitor, I won’t be playing RDR2 at 180hz lol

[rapid lake]

Already said it’s about 70% at 60fps

[thin turtle]

You never kno

[snow gazelle]

It won't even run at 180 unless u got 9800x3d

[thin turtle]

Very high settings?

[rapid lake]

Let me give you my settings

[thin turtle]

Whoa

[rapid lake]

Btw how do I take screenshots in-game windows snipping tool is not working

[snow gazelle]

Copy HUB settings

[rapid lake]

But isn’t the GPU the issue here

Having better CPU won’t make a difference

[snow gazelle]

You need good cpu for high fps

[thin turtle]

Make your game windowed boarderless

[rapid lake]

I can OC my CPU

[thin turtle]

Nuh

[rapid lake]

It is

[quaint helm]

its a H so no

[rapid lake]

Oh wait, it used to be fullscreen when I tried

[snow gazelle]

What's the cpu

[rapid lake]

It’s an f but yeah, only k would work I think

13400f

[snow gazelle]

12400f can be oc'd on certain boards but 13th gen, no

[rapid lake]

Good to know

I mean even if I could I wouldn’t

[snow gazelle]

Especially not on H board

[quaint helm]

intel cpu is fun to oc tbh

[rapid lake]

This cooler kinda lame

[quaint helm]

lets not talk about cooling it and feeding it with power

[thin turtle]

Why oc if you don't have the balls

[rapid lake]

Balls won’t help you cool your cpu down

[thin turtle]

We'll see about that

[rapid lake]

Unless they’re snowballs

[quaint helm]

if u want to oc = at least a duo tower cpu cooler lol

[snow gazelle]

Cpu oc isn't that problematic
Ram oc needs balls cuz it can corrupt your files

[rapid lake]

Is the performance boost even worth it

[quaint helm]

why oc ram when u can just buy straight away from gskill with high speed already

[snow gazelle]

Worth it but only to a certain point
There's diminishing returns after that

[rapid lake]

Ok SC is not working

Even with windows borderless

[quaint helm]

trust

[snow gazelle]

Still would be slower than 9800x3d

[thin turtle]

Just pin to taskbar

[rapid lake]

Pin what

[thin turtle]

The sniping tool

[rapid lake]

Doesn’t work either

[thin turtle]

Oh you could prt screen

Then paste here

[rapid lake]

What if I only want part of the screen

[thin turtle]

Snipping tool

[rapid lake]

I have to keep it open and the shortcun doesn’t even work

[thin turtle]

Keep it then

[rapid lake]

Is it something I maybe need to enable from steam?

[thin turtle]

Don't take resources

[rapid lake]

To allow an overlay

[thin turtle]

No

[rapid lake]

Welp

Anyways, that’s my settings

[thin turtle]

Windows can override everything as far as I'm concerned

[thin turtle]

Now do 1.25 frame scaling

Or 1.5

[rapid lake]

Don’t think so

Can I change the shortcut

[thin turtle]

Maybe

Brb

[storm yew]

shortcut for what

[thin turtle]

I can't think rn my brain trembling

[rapid lake]

Snipping tool

[storm yew]

download sharex

don’t use snipping tool brother

[snow gazelle]

use novideo app for screenshots

[thin turtle]

Shrex

[rapid lake]

[quaint helm]

theres few options lol window capture , snipping , novideo

[rapid lake]

What’s the shortcut NVIDIA

[snow gazelle]

obs too

[storm yew]

bro please

[snow gazelle]

alt z

[storm yew]

don’t use nvidia lmfao

just use sharex

[thin turtle]

Overkill

[rapid lake]

It’s already open all the time

[storm yew]

it’s genuinely the best snipping tool

[rapid lake]

Why add extra bloatware

[storm yew]

so is sharex

it’s not bloat

[snow gazelle]

how does for taking a simple screenshot matter whether it's nvidia or some fancy app

[storm yew]

what

[quaint helm]

i rather press 1 keybind than wasting time for snipping toll lmao

[civic cloud]

Alt F10 or smth

[storm yew]

u can do the same with sharex….

[civic cloud]

or you just hit win+shift+s

[rapid lake]

Nvidia takes a sc without crop

I wanna be able to crop

[storm yew]

had please

[rapid lake]

Yeah that’s not working

[civic cloud]

hit win shift s

[storm yew]

before i freak out omg

[civic cloud]

fym thats not working

[thin turtle]

Shrex

Use shrex

[quaint helm]

take ss > crop it later

[rapid lake]

I will download shrek only because of you derrik

[thin turtle]

What is wrong with you

[storm yew]

[quaint helm]

[storm yew]

you will not regret it

[rapid lake]

I hope

[high delta]

sharex is nice

all this is done inside sharex

[rapid lake]

Sold

[snow gazelle]

i can do this with snipping tool

[high delta]

you can add emojis, blur, and text with your snipping tool?

[rapid lake]

Honestly I don’t really care what I use long as it works in-game

If snipping tool was working I’d use that

[high delta]

it should work ingame

[rapid lake]

Cba to troubleshoot

[high delta]

some anticheats get fucky sometimes with that tho

[snow gazelle]

that's why avoid 3rd party softwares as much as u can

[quaint helm]

trust photoshop

[snow gazelle]

how many times do u have to add emojis and shit on your screenshot?

[high delta]

yeah i agree

was just showing it off

[wheat spruce]

hey guys im guessing if i swap my hdd out for another thats competly fine? i forgot i didnt have another sata power cord for my drives

[high delta]

i do add lines/arrows sometimes

[rapid lake]

Long as it’s not the one with windows on it

@thin turtle So you wanna see 1.25?

[wheat spruce]

No it’s not on that drive it’s on a different one

[rapid lake]

Then u should be able to just swap them

[wheat spruce]

Alright thanks

I bought it earlier today

[rapid lake]

This is what we're working with now

[snow gazelle]

isn't your monitor 60hz?

[rapid lake]

Yes

I’m gonna try 1.25 res scale

[snow gazelle]

then why cap at 90

[wheat spruce]

Mines is 170 :/

[snow gazelle]

use vsync at 60, you'll have more headroom with gpu to crank up settings further

[rapid lake]

It’s not capped?

Just happened to be at 90

[snow gazelle]

it's not

[wheat spruce]

I’ll probably buy a Cable later

[rapid lake]

My game froze 💀

Let’s try again

[snow gazelle]

i downloaded this. if i get fkt by battleye, i'm coming after u gurka

[high delta]

only instance i know of it being weird is gta legacy

but i dont think you can get around that either way, not even windows native snipping tool works there

[rapid lake]

1.25 res scaling

[snow gazelle]

1.25 barely makes a difference

1.5-2

[rapid lake]

1.5

[snow gazelle]

did u use vsync?

[rapid lake]

Wait I can use dlss at the same time?

[rapid lake]

No I wanna see how far it can go first\

This is with no dlss whatosever

[high delta]

but uhh the main reason i use this is because theres no delay like win 11 snipping tool and i get to choose where my screenshots go

the other stuff is just fancy

[snow gazelle]

there's no delay with nvidia/amd app

[rapid lake]

1.5

Cannot really see the difference

Should I try 2

[snow gazelle]

rip fps

[rapid lake]

Leme turn dlss on

Should get me back up to 80

Nvm, that just stops the resolution scaling because it does itself lol

[snow gazelle]

you've to make custom res in Nvidia app to use dlss along with high res

[thin turtle]

Yes

[rapid lake]

2x

There is no difference lmfao

[thin turtle]

You'll not notice any difference except sharpness

[rapid lake]

Maybe it's a little less soft here and there

[thin turtle]

The extra stuff come with a better monitor

[rapid lake]

the dirt

But totally not worth it

[thin turtle]

lol

[rapid lake]

However 40fps at 4k I think this is

not bad

If it was an actual 4k monitor I would not mind

[thin turtle]

Once you get used to 1.5 you'll see that 1.0 is blurry

[rapid lake]

Then lemme not do that

[thin turtle]

Spoil yourself

[rapid lake]

I'll stay a 1, game looks good to me

I'll get a 4090 next year turst

This whole PC thing was a mistake I'm gonna be homeless at this rate

At least I'll be able to play games at 4k 60fps

[snow gazelle]

use custom high res along with dlss. it'll look better than native

[rapid lake]

from novideo control panel or?

[thin turtle]

That's the beauty of it

[snow gazelle]

yea

[rapid lake]

What should I set it to

[snow gazelle]

make custom 1440p and 2160p res

[rapid lake]

This looks weird

[snow gazelle]

there's DSR/DLDSR

[rapid lake]

So now I turn off the scaling and use dlss?

[rapid lake]

What is that

uh what the hell

game is not going into fullscreen

Can you join VC actually, I can stream if you're free

[snow gazelle]

ion have a mic

[rapid lake]

Me neither

[snow gazelle]

or novideo gpu to help u

[rapid lake]

oh

[snow gazelle]

im team red now

this setting
https://www.wepc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/enable-DLDSR.jpg

[rapid lake]

k set that to the first option

looks weird af

I must be doing something wrong

[lost fossil]

blob mentioned

[south tapir]

How much would a laptop that can run GTA V enhanced on medium to high graphics cost?

[quaint helm]

let say a laptop with gpu , cost like 900-1000 ish

[south tapir]

That's wayy too much, how abt one that costs 650 bucks

[quaint helm]

0 chance

[rapid lake]

Some lenovo loqs are around that price

750 would be more ideal

GTA is not that hard to run

[south tapir]

Why

I'm looking for something 650 bucks ish

[rapid lake]

Are you considering used

[south tapir]

No I don't think so

[rapid lake]

Then you need to up your budget slightly

[south tapir]

How much

700 is the max i can go

I just wanna play online enhanced edition on medium graphics

[rapid lake]

Look for Lenovo LOQ in your area

[quaint helm]

stay on console ig

[rapid lake]

Idk if a 3050 mobile can run GTA well

[quaint helm]

mid ish maybe

[south tapir]

Idk why I said console on my tags, I won't play GTA on ps becuz I have to pay for ps plus for online

[south tapir]

Mobile?

[quaint helm]

3050mobile = laptop gpu

[rapid lake]

Mobile GPUs are laptop GPUs

[south tapir]

Guys 650 to 700?

[rapid lake]

If you can find a lenovo loq with a 3050 or better GPU for around 700 that’s good

We don’t know how the prices are for you

[quaint helm]

Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 have 3050

Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 have 50 series

i believe this one above is 5050/5060^

[south tapir]

U got a link?

Is it possible to somehow run 2 OS on the same storage/two disks?

[cold elbow]

Yeah

U split the disk into two partitions

And install an os on each

You will get the choose os thingy in most cases or not snd then you screwed

I prefer an os on each disk

[brave field]

^^always use separate disks if you can. Nothing more frustrating than losing your bootloaders.

Raid zero is combining two disks

[fickle finch]

Right. Raid is just combining disk to manage data?

[quaint helm]

iirc its just dividing files between each disk

Are you trying to change how it looks? The order the drives appear in? Are those partitions or physical drives?

[thin turtle]

Nice

I wish nvidia would add full dlss4 support in older gpus

[snow gazelle]

it is for upscaling which is all that matters

[thin turtle]

Yeah we want a gooder upscaling

[quaint helm]

rip 3.5

[thin turtle]

I bet it's just some driver bullshit

Too stingy

[brave field]

No, AMD should give 6xxx/7xxx cards a slower and heavier FSR4

[quaint helm]

if ure older = means 30series and lower , i rather stick to raw performance lol

[thin turtle]

Raw performance of 5 fps increase

What nvidia is trying to do is good. But they are doing it in a foul way

[quaint helm]

why slower they must compete with mid/higher mid range novideo card while still cheaper by alot lol

[brave field]

slower because the hardware isn't there

FSR 3.1.12 or whatever is just about competing with DLSS2 if you're not running 4k or higher

please fix 😭

[quaint helm]

i think if u watch CES taiwan like few months ago jensen yap about AI like 80% of the presentation 10% for 5060 and 5060 mobile and 10% for the NV link

[thin turtle]

Yeah what I'm saying is they're doing a good thing with their AI. But the implementation in gpus is bad for the customers

Like, they are using it as an excuse to charge more while keeping almost the same hardware

And I believe it is backwards compatible

Should be

[quaint helm]

bcus they earn most of the money from AI stuff and servers now consumers GPU is forgotten

[thin turtle]

That's more reason to not pump prices

Does anyone know good and thurstworthy custom PC building businesses in Europe ? My laptop is getting slow and I don't want to keep spending money on better parts knowing it won't handle most games in a few years so I want to make sure I get a good PC that will last me a while .

[quaint helm]

ibuypower , maingear , buildredux , nzxt(last option)

[thin turtle]

If nvidia just released GPUs for flexing while keeping prices constant. It would be great

But no

They must do the extra nonsense

[quaint helm]

IF they bring back raw performace like 3090 + 32gb of gdr7 sure

[thin turtle]

Raw performance is still there

They just did a terrible job with 50 series

There's no way a company like nvidia will struggle with that

They make these quirky cards once in a while
1080Ti, 3080 but nerfed it heavily lmao

And the prices were good

[snow gazelle]

how is 3080 nerfed

[thin turtle]

10GB

That card is way too fast for that

[snow gazelle]

there's 12gb variant, my bro has that

[quaint helm]

too much fakeframes bullshit

[thin turtle]

Should be the first iteration

[snow gazelle]

10gb wasn't a problem few years ago tbf

Yeah

But still

They seem to be sabotaging their products

[hearty veldt]

[hearty veldt]

If I want to multitask with my PC meaning having multiple monitors , doing gaming, strawming , videos , editing etc I should look into AMD processors right ?

It says Intel might not be great with multitasking from what I read , however AMD is somewhat known to overheat ?

[tidal plume]

What

What’s the source

[hearty veldt]

Google

[quaint helm]

multitask = more cores better

[tidal plume]

Intel has all the cores

[hearty veldt]

Idk anything about technology nor where to learn from so google is my best guess

[quaint helm]

amd doesnt overheat that bad just bad cooling product that user have

[tidal plume]

I wonder what they mean by multitasking 🤔 discord Google gaming and Spotify?

[tidal plume]

Google is the worst

[quaint helm]

streaming i believe

[tidal plume]

But AMD processors are the way to go nowadays

[hearty veldt]

No I meant to use it for more than just gaming, like if I want to use it for editing , streaming , playing music while gaming etc

[tidal plume]

Music takes almost nothing that’s not considered multitasking

[brave field]

You can safely ignore what Gemini or whatever said about it

[tidal plume]

Streaming is GPU encoding

Editing and stuff you want a cpu with integrated graphics

Correct me if I’m wrong

I’m need to PCs

[quaint helm]

if ure more to multitasking than game = intel 13/14th (if u dont plan to upgrade bcus that socket is dead by now) , if u want to game more + stream/editing , ryzen 7/ryzen 9 is the minimum

[lost fossil]

if by integrated graphics you mean intel quicksync acceleration then a recent amd cpu with integrated grafix won't cut it

[brave field]

That's mainly if you have an AMD GPU, where editing programs are using CUDA and AMD's h264 encoder is behind

[hearty veldt]

No I want something that can do a little bit of everything , mostly gaming

[quaint helm]

amd then

[tidal plume]

Gaming pcs can do a little bit of everything

Where do you live btw?

[hearty veldt]

Europe , why

[tidal plume]

Country

[hearty veldt]

Not gonna say that

[brave field]

Buy whatever performs better in your budget, however the parts market is in your country. Multitasking has no relation to processor brand choice.

[quaint helm]

also whats ure budget first

[hearty veldt]

I don't care about budget , I plan on gathering money for a really good PC over a long while

I'd rather get something good

[quaint helm]

dont care? alright alright

brb

[hearty veldt]

Bets buy might not be the best source of intelligence but it does say " for gamers who multitask while gaming such as streamers or users who rum multiple application simultaneously"

So I thought I was Right when I said it is multitasking if I want to have more stuff running while gaming

@hearty veldt Its marketing. Every consumer CPU before 2005 had one core, and yet there were webservers, full OSes like Windows, and productivity software in use for years before then. There's no computer in the store you can buy that only runs one program at a time, but they have to give some justification for buying higher spec without getting too technical.

[quaint helm]

or u want camm2 version o wait nvm its intel ultra only

[hearty veldt]

So that doesn't mean that some can run multiple programs at once better than others ?

[brave field]

Some can but you're not likely to be in a situation where two current gen desktop CPUs are noticeably different in multitasking outside of synthetics. You'll notice one being better in whatever the "main" running program is, but the background programs aren't a huge stressor most of the time

[wheat spruce]

Physical yeah I just need to clean the local drive tho

[tidal plume]

[brave field]

First thing I'd probably do is move your Downloads directory and Steam Library off of C

Right click downloads > properties > location, and have it move it elsewhere

[tidal plume]

Why’s default C: though?

[quaint helm]

Windows has a Storage menu that shows where all your biggest files are, so those can go too. Press start and type storage

Too little Ram and storage

[tidal plume]

And the psu isn’t future proved

[wheat spruce]

Yeah I’ve moved most of them across to the other drives

[wheat spruce]

Yeah it’s c but most my downloads go to other places

[hearty veldt]

How duh hell is a Samsung 4TB drive more expensive than 16TB ones from other companies

[lost fossil]

What's the best company for monitors

[quaint helm]

if ure looking at 9100pro , its bcus of the speed and gen5

[wheat spruce]

I have a Samsung 1tb drive connected to the back of my pc, two hdd’s and an SSD all internal

[quaint helm]

if u dont care about budget = asus rog oled line up

[hearty veldt]

Gotcha

[tidal plume]

There’s no best company

There are only good products

[quaint helm]

just personal preferences

[quaint helm]

uk why? bcus they gonna increase the price by 5-10% just for white lmao

[wheat spruce]

Mines is this one

[snow gazelle]

best is apple with their 60hz fast monitors

[hearty veldt]

Ew

[quaint helm]

imo i dislike curve monitors

[tidal plume]

That’s actually very little

[hearty veldt]

I'd rather inhale lava tainted with ghost pepper than purchase apple products

[tidal plume]

60hz on Apple monitors is like 240 on other monitors

[quaint helm]

trust

[snow gazelle]

/sarcasm

[wheat spruce]

Weep XD

[quaint helm]

1 core apple = 8 core intel/amd

[snow gazelle]

32 inch is a bit too much for 1440p

[wheat spruce]

How so?

[hearty veldt]

That is crazy

[wheat spruce]

Real

I saw it in town the other day and bought it

[snow gazelle]

ppi 95 which is same like 24 1080p

[quaint helm]

theres a ratio for best experience when comes to resolution

[wheat spruce]

They had like 3080 cards in there too but they were like around 400 or something

[hearty veldt]

Can I send a picture in here of what kind of monitor setup I'm interested in or should I send in media

[wheat spruce]

Sure

[hearty veldt]

Im also unsure if it's AI generated cause it looks too good

[snow gazelle]

[tidal plume]

Rule of 2025

Everything is ai

[tidal plume]

Ai

[quaint helm]

brandless moment

[hearty veldt]

😭

[snow gazelle]

maybe AI but it's realistic setup

[tidal plume]

Impractical

[wheat spruce]

lol

[hearty veldt]

Why impractical

[wispy mesa]

I think thats a render, and not AI. But i could be wrong

[tidal plume]

You have to look up which strains your neck to see your second monitor

[hearty veldt]

So best is side by side monitors

[tidal plume]

Yes

Universally accepted

And it looks better

[quaint helm]

feels like this one but shorter

[hearty veldt]

So if I want double monitors I should get normal ones not curved I'm guessing

[tidal plume]

Nor?

[hearty veldt]

Not

[quaint helm]

like 1 for game 1 for spotify/discord?

[hearty veldt]

Yis

[tidal plume]

Curved are perfectly fine

Depends on your desk space

[hearty veldt]

I have loads of desk space

[quaint helm]

1 flat for discord , spotify main one is ur choice

[tidal plume]

But I think flat look better in a multi screen setup

[wheat spruce]

My desk won’t fit two monitors lol

[quaint helm]

even after monitor arm?

[hearty veldt]

I apologize for this stupid question but Im guessing when they are connected I can move a page from one monitor onto the others and so on ?

[wheat spruce]

I’m not sure tbh i was looking into those

[quaint helm]

yes if both dp/hdmi into same gpu

[hearty veldt]

Oh so it doesn't matter if they're different brands ?

Or types

[tidal plume]

@hearty veldt

[quaint helm]

if u want more space = use monitor arm

[hearty veldt]

Firewatch spotted

[quaint helm]

nope nope

[hearty veldt]

[tidal plume]

But you may wanna have them the same size for aesthetic reasons

And most people buy the exact same monitor twice

Just for convenience

[wheat spruce]

I will but my desk is still small XD i would take a picture but I think I gotta tidy

[tidal plume]

I would buy a 4K 120hz monitor and a 1080p 360+hz monitor for different games tbh

[quaint helm]

rmb to get oled for 4k

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

Professional editors prefer intel

[tidal plume]

He not a professional he’s a casual with too much money

[thin turtle]

Still

[quaint helm]

dont tell me ure choosing intel ultra poopy

[thin turtle]

Ryzen are more expensive generally

[thin turtle]

Each choose what fits their application

Getting a 14700k will be cheaper than the best ryzen for editing

And better

According to pros at least lol

They prefer 14900k over any ryzen

Won't make the i7 any less viable

[snow gazelle]

9950x3d is faster in most apps

Yeah @hearty veldt give your kidney to amd

AMD being the better option makes competition prices drop
Idk why people still insist upon not getting the better valued product

[hearty veldt]

I can give my welding skills to it

[thin turtle]

Intel prices are below msrp rn

[hearty veldt]

Well, I guess that is exchanging my lungs for it but oh well

[thin turtle]

There's no reason not to get it for the said application

[snow gazelle]

that wasn't your argument

you said intel is better not better vfm

[thin turtle]

[wheat spruce]

what brand is good?

[sharp coyote]

Model> brand

But heh dosent matter much for mousepad

As for hardware

[wheat spruce]

model meaning what for a pad

[tidal plume]

LTT mousepad

[wheat spruce]

do they even ship to the uk ;-;

[tidal plume]

I'll check

[sharp coyote]

They should

1200x900 is 39$ cad

Nice

[quaint helm]

i believe they ship worldwide

[sharp coyote]

They do

[wheat spruce]

but i have to pay in cad? xd

[tidal plume]

global

[wheat spruce]

ahhh

[wheat spruce]

okay just need to figure size out aaha

[tidal plume]

but the prices are without taxes and you have to pay shipping

making it well over 50 great bri'ish pounds sterling

[thin turtle]

You be the judge @tidal plume
Multiply by 2.6 to get in USD

Since 14th gen is the best Intel has to offer so far lol

[tidal plume]

different regions

[tidal plume]

and you are comparing last gen intel and before to current and last gen ryzen

[thin turtle]

So what

If it does the job as good or close

[thin turtle]

Exactly

From my perspective, ryzen is not an option

[tidal plume]

you said it's generally more expensive

which is untrue

[wheat spruce]

is that even worth it and also how long will shipping take xd

[tidal plume]

too expensive at that point if you ask me

[wheat spruce]

any alternatives

[tidal plume]

uhhh I think

uhm

anything that isn't razor

[wheat spruce]

lol

but i'll def look at sizes and possibly a monitor arm

[civic cloud]

Monitor Arms are so nice, they gave you lots of space on ur desk

I couldn't live without anymore

[wheat spruce]

how much did u spend on yours?

[thin turtle]

Where is it cheaper

[thin turtle]

These are quite cheap

I'd say you can find some for 30 dollars

[civic cloud]

basic ass thing from Amazon, was like 60€

It's for two monitors

[wheat spruce]

Oh so mines will be way cheaper bc it’s for just one

[wheat spruce]

For a mat or an arm?

[stone apex]

Physically?

[civic cloud]

Check your local Facebook marketplace equivalent, you can easily buy these used

[wheat spruce]

okay

[thin turtle]

Arm

[wheat spruce]

okay i just need the right vesa mount size now

[civic cloud]

Most are 100x100 or 75x75

[wheat spruce]

is there any visual way to tell a difference if they dont specify?

[civic cloud]

You pull out a ruler and measure the distance between the screw holes, 100x100 is 100mm, 75x75 is 75mm

That's about 4 or 3 inches

But like...it's a vesa standard, so most should adhere to that standard

The next thing are TV mounts and I'm sure you can spot the difference

If the question was for phyisically separate drives, then yes. If it was for physically losing the bootloaders, no...but that would be a whole different problem

[civic cloud]

[quaint helm]

who knows what if its nothing

[brave field]

@stone apexyes, physically separate disks solve a lot of problems with dualbooting

[stone apex]

Alright.

[brave field]

you can use your UEFI for booting and the OSes fight each other a little bit less. Plus, you can just have the other drive never mount

though, I'd also recommend VMs if you don't need graphics acceleration in the OS you use less often. For something like running a single Linux tool, use WSL2 instead of dualbooting

[wheat spruce]

I’d probably use VMs for tinkering with different OS too before you start using it for real to see if you like it

[fickle finch]

Try Ubuntu

[wheat spruce]

Ubuntu is good yeah

[wheat spruce]

Sure but I’d still try it in a VM first to see if you like it

[cold elbow]

Generic drivers?

I dont think these can install scanner drivers

[quaint helm]

[tidal plume]

This is canon

[cold elbow]

So drivers were not being installed because Brave downloaded them on a partition other than C drive

This is a huge issue for a massive company like canon

[lost fossil]

Took my 3060 the the shop since it’s still under warranty to fix the fan noise issue

And by some miracle, the fan doesn’t make any noise at the shop

But after reviewing the video it looked like one of the brackets on the case was installed very wonky so I’m guessing it was vibrating and causing that noise since it’s closer to that fan

But furthermore the GPU idles at 30c at the shop…?

And at home it’s 40-41

[quaint helm]

room temperature moment

[rapid lake]

Could it be something to do with this cheap mobo or something, I’ve used different softwares and they all show the same temp

u can also get 30 just rethermalpaste ur stuff thats all

but i believe it will void the warrenty lol

[cold elbow]

Room temp and case airflow

[rapid lake]

Yeah he did

[rapid lake]

I had the side panel off

Even with fans at 100% it was 38c, probably room temp as you all said

We don’t have the AC on most of the time

The thermal paste and pads were new anyways, but he was nice and offered to change it, also changed the fan just in case

No more noise

[quaint helm]

gpu's fan?

[cold elbow]

There's a phone app called room temperature
U can use your phone to measure

But to get accurate result dont put it on charge and i leave it alone for 15 minutes

It will use battery temperature sensor so it's close enough to ambient

[quaint helm]

just use a roomtemp thermometer lol

[cold elbow]

If you are homeless just buy a house

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

Yeah

[rapid lake]

Yeah let me just pull up my roomtemp thermometer that every house has

[quaint helm]

replace with the same or diff fan lol sound like ur warrenty is so void like voided pro max lmao
