There's a big reason which is cost
Education has been a business model for a long time now

For students you dont get to learn much from it that is useful irl or future job, it's just a degree that u put time and money on.

Ohh that's great!! yeah that probably the best device for DV and lossless formats.

btw can it play BD ISO files?

once i get a 4K TV, ill also be buying am6B for core elec.

i have been ripping all of by BDs to ISOs so i can have a backup just in case BDs starts to rot over time.

one of my BD did, the disk looks super clean, no scratches or marks yet the read on it dose not exceeds 1MBps on the first layer and reading the second layer, the ripping software just throughs an error after trying for a bit.

[spare relic]

Yes sirrr
It can indeed play Blu ray iso files but no blu ray menu
I am using a sony A80L
It’s a very good setup box it can dual boot coreelec and andriod i use andriod to torrent some remux movies and boot into coreelec to play them using a usb HDD.
Movie i tested with iso format is called “pride and prejudice” there might be a way to open the blu ray menu but me no have time to figure that out.
I tried mkv mp4 iso every container works even with full enhancement layer you just need to have the correct settings turned on. Dolby vision was off i thought i bricked the player. You can convert SDR to HDR 10 and HDR 10 to DV.

[spare relic]

Kodi installed on my tv can play iso blu ray movies too but lags at random sequences

There's probably other brands too

[snow rover]

is there any good enough external mic you recommend

[quaint helm]

rode mic 🤓

[muted mantle]

well actually it would be röde

[civic cloud]

Why does that bother you

[muted mantle]

the audio quality is reduced significantly

[civic cloud]

Dynamic or condensator? USB, XLR or headphone jack?

[muted mantle]

headphone jack would be preferrable, xlr is foreign to me

dynamic or condensator?

[quaint helm]

ride 🤓

[muted mantle]

røde

the difference between a condenser mic and a dynamic mic is the way the audio is recorded

[civic cloud]

@muted mantle https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-microphones,6247.html#section-best-gaming-microphone-for-music-recording

[muted mantle]

the former records more detailed audio and is pretty sensitive while the latter records louder audio and isnt as sensitive

right?

[civic cloud]

Any on that list will most likely be fine for you

[civic cloud]

Yeah pretty much

[muted mantle]

yeah ill take a look

[civic cloud]

I have the Beyerdynamics fox (got a good deal) and it picks up everything

so you will need to have some noise reduction program running

[muted mantle]

oooh

this is the xlr cable

[civic cloud]

no

[civic cloud]

Yes

[muted mantle]

there is also xlr4, xlr5, etc and its dependent on the amount of pins on the connectors

i dont think i have an xlr3 port on my pc

ill need a converter if i want an xlr mic

but im guessing the mics in question are in the multiple hundreds

[civic cloud]

Unlikely, yeah

[civic cloud]

yes

Just stick with USB mics

[muted mantle]

usb mics are better than 3.5mm jack mics?

isnt that around the level of lossless in terms of sample and bitrate

i have Music set to play at 48khz/24 bit 😭

the mic records HIGH RESOLUTION LOSSLESS AUDIO

but yeah maybe ill look at the bd fox

it seems the best out of the ones here

[civic cloud]

Keep this in mind 🫡

[muted mantle]

thats true

seems like it only has cardioid

[versed comet]

yall be talking bout mics im using the iriun webcam as my camera and microphone 😭

[muted mantle]

what do the different polar patterns mean? the range/direction the audio is picked up from?

[muted mantle]

😭

[muted mantle]

thats kinda what i thought

shotgun seems funny

its use case is unclear to me

bidirectional isnt though, it could be used to record a conversation between two people at the different ends of a table

but whats the best one out of these then? top ones record a lot of unnecessary audio, would shotgun be the best as it has the smallest audio pickup range?

[civic cloud]

Film where you only want to record one actor 🤝

[muted mantle]

sorry if these questions are stupid, i am in foreign waters with this topic

[muted mantle]

so that would be the best to minimize background audio?

bet those cost a fortune though

lmfao

why am i asking about this when im just looking for a mic to use for talking

[civic cloud]

idk :D

[muted mantle]

im not hosting a podcast lol

or recording audio for that matter

idk ill look at second hand mics

[civic cloud]

Discord will reduce your mic quality into dust anyway,so even if you record at studio quality it doesn't really matter

[civic cloud]

Yessss that's the spirit

[muted mantle]

the NT-USB+ is listed in the toms hardware article and the non-plus version is also shouted out under the plus version

the same microphone with a microphone arm is listed for 85€

[rapid lake]

I think most casual mics are cardioid

They don't pick up too much noise but you still want noise suppression

[rapid lake]

Fifine makes some great affordable mics

Some have both XLR and usb-c

If you want to upgrade to XLR later

is man wrong

[cold elbow]

i dont know

[rapid lake]

Are you serious?

Because honestly I have no clue

But they're probably expensive for a good one

[cold elbow]

Yes I'm serious

All the mics i have pick up noise from everything even like the case fan

Meanwhile the shitty phone mic doesn't

[lost fossil]

any dynamic mic, probably (i mean the ones that you have to mount on an arm)

you have to talk right into it for it to pick up anything

Never unplug a condenser without turning off phantom or plug it in with phantom on. That's like unprotected sex as my friend out it, most of the time it won't do anything but that one time it will cost a lot of money.

[cold elbow]

I don't understand anything about mics

[lost fossil]

neither do i

[cold elbow]

A 2$ mic did better noise canceling than a 150$ in my experience

[lost fossil]

with a $150 one you're expected to fine tune its output

[cold elbow]

With what

I tried lot of things

[lost fossil]

i have no idea

[cold elbow]

Even had that directional thing and still pick up from the wrong location

Guess i will stick to texting

[lost fossil]

When you want to reduce background noise, you want to get very close to the microphone and use a directional mic.
what if u reduce the gain on the mic

[snow rover]

or you know, use a noise gate that noise below a given threshold doesn't make it to your audio output

[lost fossil]

but that's like that shitty stick deadzone that some manufacturers do where u set it to 0.5 for example and the stick will output nothing for half of its range and then suddenly start at half of the range

[thin turtle]

I'm finding good impressions so far, but I think I will postpone this headset thing. Thank you though 😊

[rapid lake]

I use a headset mic with voicemeter and gate is set to 1.2 or something

It works great

I don't have to use noise cancellation

[civic cloud]

dont be such a bitch about it

buy a rode nt+ mic and use nvidia broadcast

or dont use a clicky keyboard

[tidal plume]

Mics usually don’t pick up keyboard sounds

[civic cloud]

imagine complaining that the mic records stuff, the literal thing its made to do

[civic cloud]

they totally do if you have blue switches :D

[muted mantle]

📌

[muted mantle]

how much do case fans differ from each other in terms of airflow?

[quartz kayak]

Almost nothing

[muted mantle]

like, a12x25 has a max airflow of 102.1 cubic meters per hour and p12 pro has 131 cubic meters per hour, whats the jump in thermals?

[quartz kayak]

More air per sec

[muted mantle]

true

but at what point is it absolutely worth it to buy case fan 1 instead of case fan 2?

like, 2x the airflow?

[civic cloud]

You can't just look at airflow, you also need to look at the noise level

[muted mantle]

or is there something else i should be looking at, for example price?

[muted mantle]

true

on that note, what would be the range i should be looking for? or just the lowest with a reasonable price

f120 has a noise range of 17 to 27 dBA while a12x25 has a noise level of 23 dBA

but i believe the number listed on the latter is probably the peak noise level

idk i think i should be looking at the price instead

[civic cloud]

grab Arctic P12 for a good budget pick

Grab Noctua fans for the best(tm)

[quaint helm]

[unreal iron]

hey tech bros

how do I make this go faster

[nova steppe]

Some games just do that. Otherwise, get a faster drive

[nova steppe]

Prime example for me is Payday 2. Takes forever to install, even on my fastest drive

[unreal iron]

that speed is decided by my SSD?

[nova steppe]

It can be, typically the cache size or the IOPS (which a quick search will provide clearer information than I)

[unreal iron]

How can I provide this to you to see if I'm having an issue

my Zeta Drive is an m.2 it literally cannot be connected any better

[nova steppe]

well, you can see what the speeds are on your drive with something like CrystalDiskMark (not Info)

[unreal iron]

is that a separate thing I'd have to download?

[nova steppe]

yeah, it's free software

I don't have HD2, so I wouldn't be able to test and replicate the issue. I also wouldn't really know where the main issue is, whether it's the game or your drive, or your CPU

[unreal iron]

hmmm Task Manager says I'm not using more than 42% memory or 20% disk

steam is 16%

oh nvm Z: is maxxing out at 100% lmao

[unreal iron]

nothing onboard already would show me the isssue (if there is one)

[nova steppe]

disk usage is a bit of a weird stat in windows. The "Average response time" has been a better indicator for me

[unreal iron]

my Read lives between 2Mb/s and a few kb/S. write is usually over 15Mb/s up to 50

[unreal iron]

between 1500ms and 35ms

[nova steppe]

it's most likely cache, then, as the response times, like ping, should be as low as possible

and somewhat consistent

[unreal iron]

spikes then drops

[nova steppe]

and ofc when I redownload PD2 as a test, it just downloads smoothly

[unreal iron]

cache where. steam? my pc?

[nova steppe]

on the SSD

oh

It's a hard drive

[unreal iron]

I was just looking and stand corrected

[nova steppe]

lmao

[unreal iron]

my Zetta is an HDD

https://www.newegg.com/seagate-barracuda-st2000dm008-2tb-for-daily-computing-7200-rpm/p/N82E16822184773

[nova steppe]

Yeah, that's why I started paying attention to cache sizes when I look at hard drives now, as a lot are just 64MB, I think

[unreal iron]

this is the hard drive

[nova steppe]

oh, this one's 256MB, so you just filled it, ig

[unreal iron]

are these numbers in line with it lol

?

st2000dm008-2fr102

[nova steppe]

Yeah, i have the same drive, so let me test again with PD2 and see

yeah, it's doin close to what your steam was doing in that screenshot, so it's just the drive

[unreal iron]

given that it's at 56% now

would it be faster to cancel the patch, move the game to a Samsung EVO 990, and patch again, OR let it finish

and then move it

[nova steppe]

I'd cancel and move to the other drive

[unreal iron]

even at 60% patched?

(it's getting moved one way or another that's some egregious patch time

[nova steppe]

It should transfer faster than the download

[unreal iron]

but the 990 will write like 10X this right

[nova steppe]

at least that much, as these hard drives are capped out around 150MB/s

iirc

specifically talking about what windows and the drive does, not the max speed of SATA

[unreal iron]

moving failed, update required

[nova steppe]

kek

[unreal iron]

[nova steppe]

depending on your internet speed, I'd just redownload

[unreal iron]

I just STOPPED the update too

how do I uninstall without being able to boot

can uh.....can I just manually Move the files to the other drive

[nova steppe]

Wait, boot what

[unreal iron]

the game, i can't start the game lol

[nova steppe]

just uninstall through steam?

[unreal iron]

oh I found the Uninstall button in the gear

yeah

[nova steppe]

lol

[unreal iron]

can I just move the folders tho

.>

or would steam get mad

[nova steppe]

Yes™

Steam will still be looking where it was downloaded, and I don't know if it can auto-find the new directory

[unreal iron]

sussy. yes to what lol

[nova steppe]

I've never tried

[unreal iron]

I mean there's steam games where I would put it

the SSD is for my "high need" games

like call of looty-shooty

and MidField 2042

[nova steppe]

I've always just moved through steam, so I just legit don't know lmao

[unreal iron]

why did I put Skyrim on my SSD

for the mods??

would mods for skyrim BE demanding enough to justify an SSD?

(I have 4k shaders and stuff to make the game pretty)

Helldivers is now a 31Gb game install whut

[nova steppe]

I kept Cyberpunk on my main ssd for the mods. I had it on my hard drive for one playthrough. Never again.

[unreal iron]

I tried it on ps4

about the time they said "this is the last patch" for the first time lol

on disk

[nova steppe]

Like, I could be in a firefight and die before my Quickload would initiate

[unreal iron]

yeah it sucked baaaad

[nova steppe]

I've been playing since day 1, though, and most of my issues are legitimately hardware-based instead of the game (when Vanilla)

[unreal iron]

I mean...hardware based because the game is just...that hard to load?

[nova steppe]

Nah, I was running two different kits of ram at the time as a test, so the game kept crashing, lol

And now it's more related to my VRAM

[rapid lake]

You can move the whole steam steamapps folder and steam will find it

it's great

I had to move my steam to a new ssd when I got a new PC

just copied that folder into the new steam folder and it worked itself out

[nova steppe]

I didn't clarify, but in my head, I was mostly thinking of games that just shove files in places like Documents or Program Files (non x86), but that's more of a new PC thing than a new drive thing

[rapid lake]

Oh, yeah

Anything with an external launcher usually be doing that

Rockstar and EA mostly

[civic arch]

why cant games just put all the files in one folder

or place

[tawdry osprey]

messi

[cold elbow]

This happened with latest patch or i have to reinstall?

[unreal iron]

nah when I reinstalled it it was only 31gb instead of 140+

I'm guessing it's just update bloat

[cold elbow]

Nah

They said previously that they did this

[unreal iron]

maybe its just a 31gb package that unfolds?

yeah steam says its 134gb

so it's oragami'd into a 31gb download

[lost fossil]

and a rare one who does ends up saying that

[quaint helm]

bud 3 pro i love that design fr

especially the light beisde

[vale latch]

i hate it so much

especially the light

but its an "upgrade" nonetheless so i had to get it

buds 2 pro housing will be my fav design of all time

[quaint helm]

i give u my buds fe u give me ur 3 pro

[vale latch]

its so small, and clean. especially with the rubberized feel

[vale latch]

sry man i would but i already gave a homeless man a big mac today. ive done my charity for the day

[quaint helm]

the more the better

[quaint helm]

i like the design but maybe shorter for the side would be better

[vale latch]

the buds 2 pro?

[quaint helm]

3

[vale latch]

oh

the msg u replied to was about the 2 pro

[quaint helm]

o nvm

[vale latch]

but i agree with that about the 3

i wear mine hidden under my hair at work so shorter stem and black coating would make it easier to hide

[quaint helm]

this design feels like those earnbuds from 2015-2020s fr

[vale latch]

thts the reg 2

the buds 2 actually was good too. i had those before the 2 pro for only like $100

[quaint helm]

buds 2/2 pro's technology + buds fe's design dam i will buy it asap

[quaint helm]

is the light of buds 3 have option to turn off?

[vale latch]

yes

[cold elbow]

cutting me off like this wtf

im tryna steal stuff here

[civic cloud]

Fym

stupid ass Nvidia with their stupid ass 3080 10GB means I can't do BF6 on 1440p and have shadowplay running at the same time

[thin turtle]

What's shadowplay

[lost fossil]

upgrade to the 12gb model

plan dori

[rapid lake]

y

[lost fossil]

(plan = keikaku)

[civic cloud]

because vram full

[cold elbow]

Turn off that and use steam replay

Or sell that junk and join team red

[lost fossil]

steam replay saves replays in some ass format that you have to export first

lotta headache

[snow rover]

obs

boom

[rapid lake]

lol got rekt

my 3060 got more vram than your 3080

[nova steppe]

All according to keikaku

[quaint helm]

download it

[tawny walrus]

That's only for ram

With vram you have to frontload it

💪 🧠

[quaint helm]

SAME

v-ram

[tawny walrus]

No because ram is inline, and v ram is two rows put in a v shape

[quaint helm]

2 inline

[civic cloud]

Bitch

[cold elbow]

Me chilling with 16GB vram

[civic cloud]

You're all bullies

I bought this back in the day during COVID and was happy to get a GPU at all

[quaint helm]

Flex on him faster flex that extra 6gb hehehehe

[civic cloud]

Someone buy me a 5090, I'll send feet pics

[cold elbow]

I will ban you for rule 10

[civic cloud]

there's rules?

Can I bribe you with cat pics

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

Hey xo

[muted mantle]

400€ waterlogged 9070xt

claims on-par performance, they sent the card for repair and repair guys said the same

[civic cloud]

what does waterlogged mean in this context

[muted mantle]

water damaged, thats all i know

”the card has minor water damage that has practically zero effects on the performance”

800€ card for 400€ because it has light water damage + void warranty

[spare relic]

Apply rice to the affected area

[spare relic]

@turbid relic

[civic cloud]

@spare relic wtf was that feet bread pic in my DMs 💀

[spare relic]

Am adding to your collection

It’s pizza

[rose sigil]

how tf does someone spill water on a gpu

[rapid lake]

Water loop maybe

Failed AIO

Spilled water on it while building or tweaking something inside, it’s really not that unlikely lol

What’s the best 3080ti version?

I doubt I’ll get to choose which one tbh, I’ve been looking for a week straight and no second hand 3080tis whatsoever

Crazy to think that card is still as good as a 5070

[civic cloud]

but Nvidia said 5070=3090 no?

[turbid relic]

No

[rapid lake]

Idk what nvidia said but from what I read on Reddit and youtube benchmarks when deciding between 3090 and 3080ti, they are within 2-3% of each other

But the 3090 draws much more power, and obviously it has double the VRAM which I don’t particularly need rn

If it wasn’t for the power draw I’d honestly spend the extra 100 bucks just in case

I don’t think I’ve ever had a game use more than 7-8 gb of vram on my 3060 in 1080p so far

But I don’t play broken unoptimised new releases

[thin turtle]

Hi ox

[thin turtle]

4090 even

Crazy shit

[thin turtle]

Mail me one

[rapid lake]

Mail you a 3080ti?

[thin turtle]

Yes ty

[rapid lake]

Bro thinks I’m rich or something

[snow rover]

yes ty

even though that would be a downgrade

[rapid lake]

Don’t you have a 4090

[rapid lake]

You can use it for your server pc

[snow rover]

that shit has no pcie slots

[rapid lake]

💀

[thin turtle]

What was the old technology

VGA?

[snow rover]

pci or agp

[thin turtle]

🥔

[snow rover]

it's not that old though, it just isn't atx

[thin turtle]

Speaking of atx

@rapid lake I have a project for you

[civic cloud]

3080ti is still way above 1k new here 🤡
500 used

Ridiculous

[rapid lake]

Can’t find new

Used $400

There was one palit 3080ti for $350 I’m so mad I didn’t buy it immediately

3090s go for $500

[thin turtle]

I told you

You said you were broke

Lame excuse

[cold elbow]

I mean yeah u just dip it in some alcohol and scrub any trace of water or salt and you should be good

[thin turtle]

What about the fried electronics

[cold elbow]

They're not fried if it's working perfectly fine

[muted mantle]

ace is still sending foot gore?

[muted mantle]

dip a gpu…. in alcohol?

sure, works as a solvent to break off anything from the spillage

but, seriously?

[civic cloud]

Long Screenshot

[rapid lake]

I think it’s one of the few safe things you can use

Great thing is it evaporates at room temperature

[civic cloud]

Yes, cleaning alcohol with 90+%, dries within a few seconds

[rapid lake]

How much is a 5070 then

2k?

Used zotac 5070 in good condition for $630

[civic cloud]

They straight up haven't adjusted their pricing since COVID lmao

For the 3080ti

[rapid lake]

A new one $700 tf

And it’s an MSI shadow

[rapid lake]

Hold up

These are all new?

Shit makes no sense

[thin turtle]

Lira Lebnani

[civic cloud]

Yes

[muted mantle]

deal of a lifetime and im broke 💔

[thin turtle]

This why you save money

[muted mantle]

i do

currently i have just over 150€

sure, not broke but not enough at all

[civic cloud]

Okay so a 5080 is at least 1k here...why would anyone buy that instead of the 5070? No way it has double the performance

[thin turtle]

5070ti you mean

5070 is irrelevant before the 5080

[muted mantle]

i mean...

though gpu-userbenchmarks isnt the best one, but you get the point

[thin turtle]

Take debt

[muted mantle]

im pretty sure im not allowed to take loans from banks

and i dont have anyone to take loans from

[thin turtle]

No siblings?

[muted mantle]

yes but both have already spent their allowance

[thin turtle]

I'm in a huge debt to my sister

[muted mantle]

i could get like 100€ from them if i took a loan but they dont have anything to loan

their bank accounts scream zero

[cold elbow]

12GB

[thin turtle]

She makes it seem like a gift but I'm repaying anyway

[thin turtle]

🥔

[civic cloud]

Bad website

Don't use

Wait am I mixing things up

Is that the AMD hater website

[muted mantle]

yes

[thin turtle]

Good thing about taking a loan from employed people is that they don't ask when you'll repay

[muted mantle]

and im currently looking for an alternative to it

[rapid lake]

I pray that I won’t need more in the next year

[thin turtle]

User benchmarks

[rapid lake]

Until I find a game I like that’s hungry for VRAM

[thin turtle]

Don't buy 5070

[rapid lake]

I’m not

[thin turtle]

It's a lame card

[rapid lake]

Out of my budget

[thin turtle]

5070Ti is the best nvidia card so far

[rapid lake]

It’s good if it was $400-500

[thin turtle]

Yeah you add only 100 for the ti

Which a very big jump

Well I'm exaggerating here

Until the refresh

Imo the only reasonable upgrade is to get 5070ti

[civic cloud]

5070ti is 750

5070 500

5080 1k

[lilac heath]

What's your budget

[thin turtle]

Worth

[civic cloud]

mid

[thin turtle]

It only looks bad because the 9070XT is cheaper

But all things considered

It is the only card a gauss should consider if he needs green gpu

Or buy 5090

Saves you the headache

[cold elbow]

U already need more now

[lilac heath]

[rapid lake]

Are you crazy

I have 3060

[thin turtle]

What

So what

[rapid lake]

$400

So the 5070ti isn’t the only upgrade that makes sense

You’re going from a $160 card to $800

[thin turtle]

The 60s are not an upgrade to you

[lilac heath]

5060ti then?

[rapid lake]

No

[lilac heath]

16GB one

[rapid lake]

50 series altogether is trash for the price here

[thin turtle]

70s are lame

[rapid lake]

I’m getting a 3080ti

[thin turtle]

5070Ti is the only one

[lilac heath]

3080ti isnt the most power efficient

[rapid lake]

L opinion

[rapid lake]

I don’t pay the power bill

[thin turtle]

You don't know what to expect

[civic cloud]

Girl no

[thin turtle]

Going from 3060 to 5070 is just keeping up

[rapid lake]

The 5070 is not worth it

5070ti also

[civic cloud]

Delulu statement

[thin turtle]

5070Ti is where the upgrade is

[thin turtle]

Why

Can 5070 run 4k

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

Better than a 3060 for sure

[rapid lake]

I’m 1080p bros

[thin turtle]

Then you're not trying to upgrade

You're just keeping up

[thin turtle]

Ok

[rapid lake]

Fym

The 3080ti is a 1440p card

[civic cloud]

Are you stupid

Keeping up is an upgrade

[thin turtle]

Are you not

[rapid lake]

And it’s within my budget

And it’s a huge upgrade to my 3060

Like actually huge

[thin turtle]

Go get it tiger

[rapid lake]

💀

Are you trolling rn

Because I’m deadass

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

I think he's just dumb

[rapid lake]

I like giving people the benefit of the doubt

[thin turtle]

Ad hoenim

[civic cloud]

Factual

[rapid lake]

Especially lumbago

[thin turtle]

You are ad hoenim

[civic cloud]

That's not how it's called

[thin turtle]

😃

[thin turtle]

I don't care

[rapid lake]

@civic cloud so what do you think

[thin turtle]

3080ti is a good one

[civic cloud]

I think it's silly to buy a 3000 series card in this day and age

[thin turtle]

I'm talking about the 50s line

And which upgrade is worth the money

[rapid lake]

All 40 and 50 series cards that are the same performance of even slightly worse than the 3080ti are more expensive

[lilac heath]

Almost 5 year old gpu

[rapid lake]

You’re thinking about "futureproofing" which doesn’t exist

I’m not gonna rock the 3080ti forever

[thin turtle]

If someone can spend 600 on a 5070, they would love a 750 for 5070ti

[civic cloud]

Yes but 50 series has new features like fake frames

[rapid lake]

I said my budget was $400 buddy

[thin turtle]

It wasn't about you

So narcissistic

[rapid lake]

You were literally suggesting I get the 5070ti instead

[thin turtle]

Calling me names

[rapid lake]

Goldfish memory ong

[civic cloud]

Lumbago

[thin turtle]

Instead of 5070 yes

You were showing 5070

I told you it was a lame upgrade

[rapid lake]

30 series have it just a little bit worse

[thin turtle]

Very bad value

[rapid lake]

Or well, no they don’t have frame gen but

Who cares?

[thin turtle]

Gauss

He care

[spare relic]

Me want to upgrade from 4070 ti to 5080 is it worth it?

[rapid lake]

Ion need dlss or frame gen for 1080p

Hell no

[lilac heath]

30 series have FSR frame gen

[thin turtle]

Bro

4070 ti ain't shit

[rapid lake]

Inferior

[thin turtle]

😭

Why are we like this

[civic cloud]

Someone send a performance ranking for 1080p with and without raytracing

[thin turtle]

You do it

[civic cloud]

No I don't want to buy a new GPU yet

Maybe with 60 series

[thin turtle]

And mail me one

[quaint helm]

60 ninety? 🤔

[lilac heath]

[civic cloud]

Ban for begging

[civic cloud]

69 yes

[thin turtle]

When

[quaint helm]

A replica plastic version

[thin turtle]

It is amazing

It get a gift from a friend

[civic cloud]

ain't sending you anything

[quaint helm]

What if lil jensen change the namd to 6085 instead of 6090

[thin turtle]

Even if it was a

Meme

You can gift me memes

[civic cloud]

no

[civic cloud]

prankd

[thin turtle]

Jensen gonna have a telsa collab

[lilac heath]

Telsa

[thin turtle]

So rude

[quaint helm]

I want my gpu to whine not just ...... sound

[rapid lake]

For which gpus

[civic cloud]

All, so we can judge what's an actual upgrade and what's not for u

[thin turtle]

You're so naive

[rapid lake]

There exists no such chart

You’re asking for too much

[thin turtle]

There was

Compares from 5090 to 3050

Well there's no 5090 in this one

[rapid lake]

That’s right, there are no 5090s anywhere anyways

[thin turtle]

Put them side to side

Wait I'll do it

Nooo

Ok there you go

[rapid lake]

The charts compare different games

4070 on the left gets lower than on the right

[civic cloud]

Toms hardware has one, but it starts with 40 series

[thin turtle]

How did you know

[rapid lake]

Unfortunate

[civic cloud]

Looked this up a while ago, bitch

[thin turtle]

The left is the modern game performance

[thin turtle]

Wasn't talking to you

[rapid lake]

Yeah

[thin turtle]

2025

Very fresh

[rapid lake]

So we can’t compare all of them at once

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

We need a generational one up to 50 series

[thin turtle]

Relative performance will not change

[civic cloud]

No but you can look where the 3060 in comparison to a 4070 and then use that for the 2nd graph

[rapid lake]

True

[civic cloud]

:3

[rapid lake]

So what are we looking at exactly

Which GPUs

Aside from the 3060 and 80ti

Again budget is $400

[thin turtle]

If anything the 4070 is outperforming the 7800xt

[rapid lake]

It looks like the 3080ti gets about double the frames of 3060 in 1080p

[civic cloud]

There you go

[rapid lake]

Call that not an upgrade

[thin turtle]

Big comeback

[thin turtle]

Bro invest in a monitor

It will cost same as a 3080 ti

[rapid lake]

I don’t have infinite money, bro

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

You have a job tho

[thin turtle]

1440p oled are so absurdly expensive

Even woled

[civic cloud]

Don't buy a fucking OLED, you can get 144hz 1440p IPS for 250€

[thin turtle]

Ew

[rapid lake]

I got a job that pays $250 a month and I have to pay part of my uni tuition

[thin turtle]

Ips is disgusting

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

Sorry mister Oil Sheikh, not everyone has a car to drive around on their uni campus

[rapid lake]

I also pay for our cat’s vet and food bills

[thin turtle]

I'm nothing but appalled from this one I have

[rapid lake]

So I’m not exactly saving up a ton of money

[quaint helm]

ole is a must

[rapid lake]

I can get that after I get a 3080ti and I’ll be just fine

[rapid lake]

Wait what’s your monitor again?

[civic cloud]

To quote the current German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (Former BlackRock manager) "Why don't you go work for 2k a month instead of minimum wage?"

[rapid lake]

Some shitty chinese brand or smth

[thin turtle]

I can't watch shit on my monitor because of these bright blacks

[rapid lake]

Ah yes

[thin turtle]

Well I'm speaking from experience

[rapid lake]

Right

[civic cloud]

And we all know that every IPS panel is the same, thank you

[rapid lake]

My main monitor is not even ips

It’s VA

[civic cloud]

At least you have deep blacks

[rapid lake]

But I like curves

[thin turtle]

They all have that disgusting bright "black"

All LCDs are like that

[rapid lake]

Actually I like the VA main more than my IPS second monitor

[civic cloud]

Curved 27" is so useless, only makes sense at 32 and above

[rapid lake]

It’s personal preference

[cold elbow]

Nah

It's a flex

[civic cloud]

I know how Panels work and I also know that you're a lil bitch with a shitty monitor so

[thin turtle]

Isn't VA what Samsung do

[rapid lake]

VA is what curved do

[thin turtle]

There are curved ips

And oled

[rapid lake]

Mostly VA and OLED

[thin turtle]

You didn't buy me a new one

[cold elbow]

Mine is a curved ips 34'

[rapid lake]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a curved ips ngl

[rapid lake]

So nerds

Tell me

[thin turtle]

They are rare

And maybe expensive too

[rapid lake]

Prove me wrong

[thin turtle]

Relatively

[civic cloud]

Fuck the monitors, it's not the topic omg

[rapid lake]

Ionno never seen one

Fr

[thin turtle]

The topic is whatever the question is

[civic cloud]

34 feet is crazy

[rapid lake]

💀

[civic cloud]

Just figure out which highest card on that list fits to your budget

That's on you because of your silly middle east country pricing

[thin turtle]

@rapid lake

How expensive is 9070XT

[civic cloud]

@rapid lake

[rapid lake]

Let me cook hold on

[thin turtle]

Prices are stable here

[civic cloud]

Holding

[thin turtle]

Power than 70ti

Lower

I will go code some C

[rapid lake]

There is just one 9070xt for sale

It’s $750

[civic cloud]

Just vibecode with chatgpt

[thin turtle]

What's the lowest 5070ti

[rapid lake]

I think used, dude didn’t even put a picture of the actual card just got one off google

[thin turtle]

Don't talk to me

3:

[thin turtle]

That's a proper scam

[civic cloud]

Scam unless it's pickup

[rapid lake]

$860

[civic cloud]

Bitch I'll talk to you when I want >:(

[rapid lake]

It’s only double my budget

[civic cloud]

Yeah don't listen to lumbago

[rapid lake]

And three vet visits

[thin turtle]

Then the prices are normal

I might actually get a 9070xt if I could

But Idk it might suck for CAD

I will keep the 3080 anyway

[civic cloud]

I hope it burns

[thin turtle]

Where do I get the WinAVR compiler from

[civic cloud]

Fuck do I know

My fucking C exam was done on paper

With a pencil

[rapid lake]

4070 super is $650 or so

[civic cloud]

rough

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

And it’s 10 frames better than 3080ti

[rapid lake]

C++ for me but same

It was ez though
