They are making it so hard to get a pcie cable it's ridiculous

And cablemod has no clear labeling

The only way I could figure out an OEM cable is to be shipped for €30

It cost €4 itself

There's only aliexpress options now

How could I trust this shit

this much cheaper

[minor saddle]

yes but no hall effects :(

[tidal plume]

Hall effects is like paying double for a mechanics keyboard

It gives a minor advantage and you pay a lot more

Sad to see another kid buying overpriced controllers that misalign the sticks

[civic cloud]

8bitdo ultimate 2C has hall effect joysticks and costs like 25 bucks

And doesn't have an ugly ass cable

[tidal plume]

Most of them have the sticks misplaced though

[civic cloud]

What

They got the Xbox layout

[tidal plume]

And those that don’t have a weird design

[tidal plume]

Literally what I said

[civic cloud]

This also has the Xbox layout

[tidal plume]

It’s excusable

[civic cloud]

PS layout is the shit one

[tidal plume]

They have to use the same layout as the joy cons

[tidal plume]

Bait used to be believable lil bro

Who in their right mind uses the INDEX finger for the LEFT STICK

[civic cloud]

What are you yapping abaout

Are your hands deformed?

[tidal plume]

The Xbox Controller is designed so you have to get a pro controller with back panels in order to use all buttons

[lost fossil]

bebecat said something that I agree with for the first time ever

[quaint helm]

man thrustmaster should just focus on their sim wheel

[civic cloud]

I don't see a scenario in GTA where you need to use the left joycon and dpad extensively at the same time

[tidal plume]

There are games other than forbidden online

Rocket league fortnite Minecraft

[civic cloud]

I don't play these games (with controller)

[tidal plume]

You but they’re not you

The world doesn’t evolve about YOU

[civic cloud]

[thin turtle]

I have the coolermaster v750 gold v2

Do it have compatible pcie from other companies?

[sharp coyote]

Cablemod

[thin turtle]

They have cables for v750

Not specific to a v1 or v2

I have no clue

There's sfx and mwe

They all named v750

[quaint helm]

[civic cloud]

[lost fossil]

[quaint helm]

bcus of wrong wire

[lost fossil]

get a multimeter

[quaint helm]

left hand on the psu right hand on the wire test it

[lost fossil]

i was kind of fr though

get the 24 pin out and put a paperclip in pins 3 and 4, then get the black probe into the pin 5 (which is ground) and then probe all the pins in the gpu connector

[thin turtle]

Incompatible pins

that's not even an nv2, that's much worse, and it can't get much worse than nv2

[sharp coyote]

Nv1 kekw

Kc3000 on the other hand top notch

[quaint helm]

that bottleneck

[tidal plume]

But why’s it bad?

[lost fossil]

because it was made to be that way

nv stands for not viable

or it could also be envy, envy of literally every other ssd on the market, including the chinese ones

[civic cloud]

Why is that ssd so bad?

[lost fossil]

speaking of envy, did you know

[lost fossil]

just ask skipper

[civic cloud]

[lost fossil]

or had in the near future

[civic cloud]

No he's a meanie weani

[rapid lake]

Idk what my nvme is

[lost fossil]

yours is an nv3

[rapid lake]

Actually

It’s this

[lost fossil]

as i said

it's still nv tho so it's a ticking time bomb

[rapid lake]

Why

[lost fossil]

only kingston knows

[rapid lake]

You’re not making sense

Is the issue with kingston nv3s or nv3s in general

[lost fossil]

i mean, kingston nv2 is a disgusting drive

it is only logical to assume that nv3 is not much better

[rapid lake]

SSDs are known for having short(er) lifespan

[lost fossil]

it depends

So do you keep your pc on all the time

[lost fossil]

yes

[civic cloud]

waste of energy fr

[lost fossil]

[thin turtle]

Guys guys

Msi spatium m480
Crucial t500 pro
Samsung 990 evo plus

Same price

Which do I pick

I think there's a scam here

[rapid lake]

Are they all new

[thin turtle]

Yes

Seems like the t500 pro is the gooder option

I verified now, they are legit

About 91 USD

[snow rover]

bought new fans

arctic p12 pro

they seemed pretty ok from the reviews and 30 bucks for 5 is good price

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

You're part of the arctic gang now

Melon has them, me as well

[snow rover]

now?

15 hardware versions on paper and 98% are shit and some are prone to fast Death even

Usually ssd has 1-2 hardware version/s

[quaint helm]

only banger = the one vid before this one

[thin turtle]

Do it need heatsink?

All heatsinks are big here

I need to check clearance first

The tightest build

Why do I do this to myself

[cold elbow]

Nahhh he keeps making great videos
He is the one that shine the light on Fancontrol

[quaint helm]

no need a video about it tbh just crank everything to 100%

[quaint helm]

just slap a fan b4 the nvme slot lol u can just find non heatsink ones

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

Might as well plug your fans directly to power supply

Just like the old times

[quaint helm]

i did that on my old build lol

2 fan power by 1 cable (not daisy chain , legit soldered 2 fan wire combine together)

[cold elbow]

Disappointing

Use electrical tape

Or duct tape

Why they call it duct tape

[quaint helm]

duct 🦆 tape..........dont have those

[rapid lake]

Does it matter which GPU temperature I choose in MSI afterburner/rivatuner?

I did choose number 1

But I don't remember my temps being as low as 50 while playing GTAO

Well, 58 now that I am in cayo

lol what

Ok nevermind

It's up to 70 now

[lost fossil]

one is average chip temperature and the other is hotspot

[wheat spruce]

Hey had

@cold elbow I finally bested it forbidden game has lost!

[rapid lake]

hey

Did you fix it

[cold elbow]

Fantastic news

[kindred vapor]

Remember kids
Clean your graphics card regularly to avoid losing frames
That is all

[wheat spruce]

Yeah

It was an issue with one of the game files a simple reinstall fixed it

[rapid lake]

Nice

Must have been so frusrating to play with stuttering and crashes

It happened to me couple days ago and I just stopped playing until I could fix it

3060 12gb

man

I can't get the opacity on the inner part of the circle to match eveything else

so I can that rounded edge look

I might have to like, cut the circle in half in photoshop and then put it here

This bit here

[wheat spruce]

It was probably more annoying for the people I was playing with lol

[wheat spruce]

Yeah fr 😭

[quaint helm]

rivatuner

[quaint helm]

just use nvidia's stats lol

[wheat spruce]

Msi afterburner and rivatuner

[rapid lake]

Wait till you see some other builds here

[rapid lake]

I accidentally turned that on once

It looks nice but I like the customisability of rivatuner

[lost fossil]

in this economy?

[rapid lake]

[quaint helm]

wonder is this good or bad

[thin turtle]

Good

[thin turtle]

That gpu ain't doing shit

Sitting there at 80%

Give it work

[quaint helm]

@rapid lake fyi gta can run its full graphic setting on 3060 12g lol u still gonna get solid 80+ fps

full RT

[rapid lake]

I play with vsync on because I hate tearing

And RT is just useless honestly

I only notice the difference when I’m looking for the reflections

But I was still surprised that my GPU was sitting below 60c even with 80% usage on GTA

[thin turtle]

Oh you don't have a monitor

Smae

[rapid lake]

Until I went to cayo perico then it was suddenly up to 70c lol

Which is still really good

[thin turtle]

Grass

[rapid lake]

No AC in the room but I have a big fan running

[thin turtle]

Grass is intensive

[rapid lake]

I think it makes a difference

Yeah

Same thing in red dead

Snowy areas during a storm is brutal

[thin turtle]

Yk maybe you should try a lil undervolt

[brave field]

give rtgi another look, its the biggest difference!

[thin turtle]

Yeah my 3080 barely does 70 fps lol

[rapid lake]

Why

I’m not complaining about anything lol

[thin turtle]

Reduce power consumption and hence temperature

[rapid lake]

The temps are great

[thin turtle]

You keep good fps too

[rapid lake]

When I get on rdr2 I’ll show you

[quaint helm]

no DLSS?

[thin turtle]

And gives ya headroom to make fans quiter

[thin turtle]

RAW

Ig I did a 1.5 framescale hehe

OK I'll install more ssd

[rapid lake]

Ngl I’m content with this prebuilt

[quaint helm]

so it aint raw

[rapid lake]

Not happy, just content

[thin turtle]

That's more than raw

[quaint helm]

well done

[thin turtle]

Nuh

[rapid lake]

What settings?

Custom or preset

[thin turtle]

Very high

[rapid lake]

Is that a thing in rdr2 I forgor

[thin turtle]

Ultra just wasteful ngl

[rapid lake]

I thought it was high then ultra

[thin turtle]

Oh

[rapid lake]

Nah

[thin turtle]

Maybe that then

[rapid lake]

Ultra textures goated

Skip out on everything else

Especially shadows

[thin turtle]

I am running the game at 1440p technically so

High is a good place

[rapid lake]

I guess

I want to try res scaling again

Just for fun

[thin turtle]

I will install rdr2 in the new ssd

Then I'll do another test for your sake

[rapid lake]

You have 3080?

[wheat spruce]

Yeah just not mines hahahaha

[rapid lake]

Right

[wheat spruce]

Shush don’t bully my pc ):

[civic cloud]

Yeah we should bully you instead :D

TBF it was loud before as well

[snow rover]

if i can hear my pc it's too loud

[wheat spruce]

lol

[civic cloud]

Yes but 400W gotta go somewhere

[cold elbow]

I only hear my hard drive

[wheat spruce]

Yeah cos ur fans all run at 0%

[cold elbow]

Not all

[wheat spruce]

75%

[civic cloud]

More like 30%

[cold elbow]

Yep

Why would they spin if the pc os idling and consuming 40 watts?

[wheat spruce]

Fr

[thin turtle]

Yes

[civic cloud]

Airflow for my room

[civic cloud]

Omg same :3

[wheat spruce]

I was back in my local second hand tech store and saw a bunch of different cards haha at like £300-480 price range

[quaint helm]

o.o

loud = better

[rapid lake]

£300 you could get a used 3080 I think

Or some AMD card, but I know nothing about those

[rapid lake]

Your GPU is liquid cooled?

[civic cloud]

Full custom loop

[rapid lake]

Gah damn

Cool moment

[wheat spruce]

indeed

[quaint helm]

1k spent on wc stuff?

[rapid lake]

Damn they’re still this expensive

[civic cloud]

i used the money from my cancelled vacation during covid and also bought a switch from that lmao

[snow rover]

that's a store though

not proper 2nd hand marketplace prices

[wheat spruce]

yeah

[civic cloud]

yeah probably, maybe closer to 800 tho

[quaint helm]

thats like the minimum for WC stuff lol entry level cost

[civic cloud]

you dont need much, just cpu block, gpu block, res+pump, rad and some fittings and tube

cpu block is like 100, gpu 150, res/pump 150, rad 120

[quaint helm]

sounds like ek price for some reason

[civic cloud]

only the pump is from EK, everything else from alphacool

[wheat spruce]

i find that fun to do in pc build sim

[quaint helm]

the game in epic games?

[wheat spruce]

thats the second one but yeah

[thin turtle]

I don't think lil bro can survive this

[quaint helm]

imo if i gonna start wc = ddie cpu block , at least 2x 360mm rad

[thin turtle]

Right under the heatsink

[quaint helm]

iirc most right fan = exhaust

[thin turtle]

Oh

Hol up

[civic cloud]

thats a lot of effort i wasnt willing to put in

[quaint helm]

❄️ cool tho ❄️

[civic cloud]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[junior flax]

i do recommend cex btw

they have a 5 year warranty i got my gpu from there

[wheat spruce]

This is why I do it in pc build sim lol

[junior flax]

i did get a doa gpu once but went in store and they refunded me 15mins after testing it

[wheat spruce]

Yeah that warranty policy is pretty great

[junior flax]

100%

[wheat spruce]

Full refund and did you exchange it in?

[junior flax]

my dad bought me a 3090 for xmas and i didnt get to test it till xmas day and even tho it was bought a month before got a full refund

[wheat spruce]

Damn

[junior flax]

full refund or offered me an exchange but i just wanted to play on my pc so took the refund and ordered a 4070 super lol as had amazon same day

[cold elbow]

I told @civic cloud
He wouldn't listen

[wheat spruce]

I bought a hdd for £15 and there’s even warranty on that lol so if that shits the bed then I’m fine

And that's 2.92GB/ min
RDR2 is 112.6 GB
112.6/2.92 = 38.5 min

Why is my game taking 40 minutes

[quaint helm]

ur wifi

[thin turtle]

I just did the math right there

[quaint helm]

rmb wifi aint giving solid result lol it goes up n down

[thin turtle]

But dis cable

Can I move steam games to another drive

Or do I need to reinstall

[quaint helm]

u can move

can consider going for 3pro tbh iirc it have upgraded fan (p12 pro , normal lf3 just p12 pwm)

[thin turtle]

How is the pro 360 cheaper than regular 240

[quaint helm]

MMM

ikr

[thin turtle]

This is actually crazy cheap

[quaint helm]

price decreased already b4 3pro iirc lf3 is like 95-100$

I bought games on CD so I only had to download the patches instead of the whole game

[rapid lake]

Iirc it took me about 3-4 hours to download rdr2

[civic cloud]

...that's still fast? I grew up with 1.6MB/s 😭

and 0.8 before I made my parents actually check the fkn internet contract

[rapid lake]

Yeah it’s about 90mbps

I only get that speed on steam and ps store downloads

[rapid lake]

That’s still not slow compared to the average speed here

Which is 5 megabits/second

[rapid lake]

Everything else I’m getting 8mbps

Or 1 mb/s

[sharp coyote]

I took me 30 mins to download gta 5

Or less

10€ per Month

[rapid lake]

Well, ones of roughly the same size anyway

[snow rover]

depends on what it is

the pads just attach with a lip, yes

if there's some clip mechanism, no

[civic cloud]

Wow ur me 10 years ago

Was crazy when I moved to the uni dorm and we got 1gbps up and down :D

[upbeat spade]

different headsets use different attachment mechanism, so you should look for specifically compatible ones

no standard for it

Why does my fps sometimes just stay at 90

When GPU is at like 70% and can put out more frames

And also it never goes above 120fps in rdr2

[wheat spruce]

Idk my afterburner broke 😭

[wheat spruce]

I can’t even get smooth 90 on forbidden game

Xd

[rapid lake]

Afterburner has fps cap?

[wheat spruce]

No I mean my overlay

[brave field]

@rapid lake Check your CPU utilization

You might be singlethread limited, that or fully utilizing

If that's the case, your CPU is keeping the framerate there. Some people look at it negatively and say its a bottleneck. I say its an opportunity to turn up your favorite graphic setting

[rapid lake]

It's usually sitting around like 60%

[brave field]

Check to see if one or two cores are getting maxed out compared to the others in task manager when playing (the load might bounce around, but there'll be a small number doing more work than the others)

The other way you can test is by lowering GPU load. In RDR2, switch the AA/upscaling to FSR Performance. If fps doesn't suddenly skyrocket, its some other component holding the game back.

Anyone know how to fix slow installations on the Xbox app?

[jovial tide]

Because gamepass, duh

Not gunna pay 70-80 dollars for a game I may or may not like

Respectfully your opinion. I'm just looking for help, that is all.

[quaint helm]

upgrade ur wifi /hard disk

[jovial tide]

wifi is 1000mbps and It's installing on an SSD

Like, even here, it's 100% an app issue

[quaint helm]

whats ur ssd speed

[jovial tide]

Last I checked last week it was about 470MB

[quaint helm]

wait which xbox u have have to find the wifi card spec

[jovial tide]

It's not an xbox, I'm on PC

Currently using the Xbox app to install stuff

[quaint helm]

mmm wait if ure wifi is 1gbps , ur ssd can go up to 3.2gbps , and ur on pc so that wifi minimum is like wifi6 right or 6e

[jovial tide]

6e yep

I just did a steam install to test and it was perfect. Well kinda, cause I'm not hard wired but it was ~800mbps

[quaint helm]

maybe app issue ig

[quaint helm]

still consider good lol 0 chance to pump full 1gbps

[civic cloud]

Why??? I paid a grand for my 3080 a month after release, and that was during the Cryptoboom shit

Is the AI hype still going?

[quaint helm]

5080>4090 🤓

[grim birch]

lol im building a pc rig with a 3080 and the entire thing is only 700-800$

Completly unrelated to your conversation

[civic cloud]

Yeah prices drop, nothing new

Still 800

not being in the upper enthusiast tier anymore? nah bro

[rapid lake]

My headphone gets detected when I plug it into the rear IO but I get no sound whatsoever

The front one works but I hear a buzzing noise that's irritating when nothing is playing

Also I had this fucking interface it looks like it's from the 90s

[lost fossil]

blue is line in

green is line out and pink is mic

you need the green one which is in the middle

[rapid lake]

I tried that

The mic also doesn't work btw

I plugged it into the pink one

I'm gonna download realtek drivers hopefully it's just that

Do I need to uninstall the existing ones?

[lost fossil]

it's not going to

do your headphones have 2 plugs?

[rapid lake]

Yes....

[lost fossil]

green in the middle hole, pink in the one to the side, but not blue

Do they not make drivers for W11

[lost fossil]

you dont need

[rapid lake]

Elaborate please

I'd say I do need

I'm pretty sure the issue is not my end lmao

This is garbage

As expected it doesn't work on W11

[civic cloud]

:(

[lost fossil]

can u show a 🤳 of your rear (ports on the computer)

i need to make sure that you plugged things in the right way

[rapid lake]

They are

Anyways I'm just gonna download the drivers from MSI

Should have done that to begin with

[lost fossil]

the thing is that you don't need to download these drivers

[rapid lake]

Mic works in front IO but it keeps cutting out every two seconds

[lost fossil]

these are like default barebones stock drivers that windows has

[rapid lake]

I don't understand lol

[lost fossil]

what i'm saying is that whatever drivers windows already has are good enough for tek audio

[rapid lake]

well

[snow rover]

sounds more like faketek based on the current experience

[rapid lake]

I've had plenty of issues with audio on other devices previously

And like

Reinstalling drivers has almost always fixed it

[lost fossil]

i

suppose

is this reaction bait?

[rapid lake]

No she's right

I would have never thought of that

5D emoji chatting

The fkn upgrade

And now I just get a small little popup instead of the whole window opening to ask which I plugged in

[lost fossil]

are u sure it's the latest driver? because that's the old msi logo

[rapid lake]

Yeah 2025

[snow rover]

msi still uses that logo

[rapid lake]

in fact

it released TODAY

[snow rover]

iisi is only used on some product lines

Moral of the story, listen to your common sense, ignore oleg

[lost fossil]

mic works but do headphones work?

[rapid lake]

yeS

I haven't tried the rear IO again yet since the buzzing noise on the front is gone

bless MSI

[civic cloud]

Yes, just troll oleg🤝

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

Btw is the krisp noise suppression on discord just total garbage or what

Keeps thinking my voice is background noise and cuts it out so imma just not use it

[civic cloud]

No idea I use the Nvidia thing

That's great btw

[quaint helm]

ummmm ask one of ur friend join ur VC and u scream (like few meters away from ur mic)

[wheat spruce]

My gpu drivers are up to date but everything else is probably not

I can’t even use intel xtu cos my processor is too old

I’m not overly sure but you’d probably have to get it from the manufacturer website for whatever brand ur mobo is

[quaint helm]

just go to ur mobo website / intel driver support assistant

Back when I would use it, it would randomly bug out and just make my voice loud and staticky; so then I'd have to stop what I was doing, open the app's main window, turn it off and back on again, then resume what I was doing.

I know it's fixed now, as that was ~5 years ago, I just haven't tried it again

[lost fossil]

reminds me of how ppl were getting banned in grab the auto for using the discord overlay when that came out

WHY ITS USING THE HARD DRIVE

when the game on the nvme

[civic cloud]

See I was right

[cold elbow]

its actually steam's fault

for some reason its using the hard drive

[thin turtle]

Sell your pc

It's past It's prime

so there is a way to prevent steam from using the hdd

but im too lazy to do anything

[sharp coyote]

[civic cloud]

Story of my life

[nova steppe]

Shader caching?

[cold elbow]

No

Steam thinks my drive is full for some reason so it downloads into another drive

Or maybe it just defaulted that for some reason

Idk but it's a thing

[steel sentinel]

how the frick are these folders so humongous srsly

even when the pc is purely dedicated to gtao

[nova steppe]

I never look, so I don't actually know what it's like. Isn't it only the hundreds of megabytes, tho? I might have seen a 2.x gigabytes somewhere, but if it helps with loading then

[steel sentinel]

so i've anywhere between 3-6 separate user accounts per gtao dedicated pc and i think the last time i checked each user's folder was like 7 gigs
the boot drives are 512gb on all the pc's so it's not filling the drive anytime soon but still

[rotund trellis]

e

[steel sentinel]

i should look at my gaming pc's, those have like 2tb boot drives so i never bothered about boot drive storage

Interesting video that explains more about nvidia shenanigans with frame generation

[upbeat spade]

look i haven't watched the video yet but like

what part of "generation" does this guy not understand

just looking at the thumbnail and the title

[cold elbow]

[lost fossil]

he's implying that if you have 160 fps at 4x frame gen then the real framerate under the hood is 160/4=40 which is not true, at least from what i've seen lossless scaling do

[quaint helm]

[lost fossil]

the numbers, raptor, what do they mean

[quaint helm]

which

[lost fossil]

i was making a funny

[quaint helm]

Counter strike ?

I suck at reactionary based shooters

[steel sentinel]

the effort put into the thumbnail to be so dum
justcreatorthings i guess

i am however against fake frames as they are for most gamurs rn since it's still not good enough

[thin turtle]

Don't suck

[steel sentinel]

that was quick

moderators actually moderatin'
a real server

[snow rover]

fake server

[steel sentinel]

[cold elbow]

Not only that
He explains how anti lag in general can reduce latency in games ... if it's native or with frame gen.
But nvidia was comparing native without anti lag to frame gen with antilag and show that it can actually reduce latency

In some games you cant enable antilag without enabling frame gen.

But for voice change I'm not sure

Just something to change the difference aspects of the sound my mic will give

Equalizer apo is confusing

yes

the price of versatility is the unintuitiveness

Well, voicemeter it is then
