[sterile cliff]

Fuckin yikes

[compact sierra]

it's lenovo think centre pc

[sharp coyote]

Ah Lenovo

They use good OEM PSUs atleast

[compact sierra]

not sure why it's not powering on

maybe whole pc is fried

i have a few power cables i could try

not sure if any of them would work

[sharp coyote]

Hunktey is one of the biggest manufacturers for Lenovo PSUs

[sharp coyote]

PSU ones?

Otherwise i wouldn't try

[compact sierra]

different ones the the same end on them

aren't all cables the same?

[sharp coyote]

No

Pinout is different

The cable can look same but pinout is usually different

[compact sierra]

psu is a huntkey 250 watt psu

the pc does make a sound when i plug in the cable it's like it wants to start up but it can't

[worn perch]

Is hdr supposed to look kinda washed out or have I screwed up the set up

[snow rover]

no, hdr is not supposed to look washed out

but if you're sending a hdr signal but playing sdr content it will look washed out

and anything cheap that advertises hdr is probably terrible anyway

[rapid lake]

What does HDR do that it locks me out of changing the brightness settings on the monitor

My second monitor has it but I haven’t used it because of thag

[brave field]

it does the brightness

[thin turtle]

noob

[cold elbow]

[rapid lake]

I don’t want to light my eyes on fire

[brave field]

that's the whole appeal of HDR

it is annoying how bright some monitors are at default

[civic cloud]

i just wanted to flex my height adjustable desk to had

cuz he was a meani

[civic cloud]

My TV low-key flashbangs me at night when there's a bright scene with HDR 💀

[rapid lake]

What did they teach you at university

[rapid lake]

Aren’t phone displays HDR and OLED

[civic cloud]

Lots of stuff, especially how to open beer bottles without a bottle opener

[rapid lake]

Yet you can still adjust brightness

[civic cloud]

Why do you ask

[rapid lake]

Funnily enough

I made a beer can model in fusion

[brave field]

My monitor is neither and changing the brightness disables Freesync

[civic cloud]

???? Odd

[rapid lake]

But I couldn’t shell out the inside for some reason

That’s what I wanted to ask you

[civic cloud]

Just grab one from the store

[rapid lake]

But you’re uneducated

[civic cloud]

[civic cloud]

our prof used to work at BMW designing the seats and he said they used it there as well

[rapid lake]

Bmv

[civic cloud]

well at least I managed to design a working steam engine and didm't fail at creating a beer bottle :3

[rapid lake]

Does the way they design the seats have anything to do with the general stereotypical bmw driver

[civic cloud]

no

[rapid lake]

Do they sit in a way that makes them not use turn signals

[civic cloud]

idk why they even bother putting indicators in the car

[rapid lake]

Ask him the real questions

[civic cloud]

That was 2020

I'm so old

Fuck

[rapid lake]

[rapid lake]

Old, sad, alone and broke

What do you play besides factorio gauss

[civic cloud]

Just look at my steam profile omg

[rapid lake]

Another one

[civic cloud]

Played through diplomacy is not an option before that, but there's some missions I still have to do

But you need to replay some campaign for that

[rapid lake]

You play very specific games

[civic cloud]

are there unspecific games?

10 is just as specific as 37

Or 55 or 87

[rapid lake]

Yoo 35 hours on csgo

But I can’t get into it yet

I read that it’s pretty challenging

[rapid lake]

Go download cs2

[civic cloud]

It's shit, don't bother

[rapid lake]

I paid for it

[civic cloud]

It was free on epic

Total war Troy is the best

[rapid lake]

Any strategy game will do

[civic cloud]

omg

Have you played Supreme Commander

I only have 300hrs on steam but like 700hrs in the community launcher

[rapid lake]

Nope

I’m new to gaming

I have maybe 30 games

[civic cloud]

it's 3€

worth it

All you need is a CPU with a very high single core performance

[rapid lake]

Should I accept

[civic cloud]

no

Send me a friend request and I will teach you supreme commander

It's also recommended by LTT

By the L of LTT

[rapid lake]

Hmm

Looks like an ancient game

[civic cloud]

It's 1 year older than GTA V

[rapid lake]

Also it’s not $3

You liar

[rapid lake]

2007

[civic cloud]

Right, sorry

It only needs 1 core

[rapid lake]

Like Minecraft

[civic cloud]

Don't buy on steam omg

[rapid lake]

I want someone to play sea of thieves with

[civic cloud]

Let me rephrase, it only needs 1 Thread

[rapid lake]

It looks like a cool game to play with friends

[civic cloud]

sea of thieves is not a strategy game

[rapid lake]

And I paid $15 for it

[civic cloud]

Stop buying games you don't play

[rapid lake]

We stopped talking about strategy 10 years ago bro

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

Wtf

I don’t buy from sussy websites

[civic cloud]

do i have a bad battery on on my laptop?

my laptop has 2 batteries 1 is fully charged but the other is stuck at 99 percent

[quaint helm]

its either on safe charging mode (slow charge) or ur battery health getting worse

[compact sierra]

it's saying The battery is functioning correctly, but due to normal aging of the battery, the battery life between charges is now significantly shorter than when it was new.

is it a sign my battery is dying?

[quaint helm]

yes

[compact sierra]

Should I replace my laptop battery 🔋?

[quaint helm]

imo it can last for few more years

till u realise 1 full charge only can survive like 1hour to 2 then u can consider swapping

[nova steppe]

that's what my laptop was like new

[quaint helm]

they should use car's battery technology

[civic cloud]

Thank you AI

can a battery that's aging have a slower charge and take longer to charge for laptops?

[lost fossil]

yes

[quaint helm]

time to troll oreo

[compact sierra]

is there anyway to regain battery capacity?

[quaint helm]

nope its going down

[cold elbow]

Usually a bad battery charges faster because it's not storing enough energy

[wary pawn]

It goes downhill faster too.

Hello! I've spawned here yet again.

I've seen videos online that turn win 10/11 into win 7. What are those apps?\

I saw people saying in the comments about reunion 7.

[snow rover]

i don't know

[rapid lake]

Who the hell would want the windows 7 UI

It just reminds me of work

[civic cloud]

you guys have ancient work laptops? 🥺

[rapid lake]

PCs

Two of them

I was looking at some old workstation prebuilts but they don’t sell for cheap here like they do elsewhere

I wish we had junkyards like in the US where you can find pc parts

[rapid lake]

Also what’s with the tilted fans on cpu heatsinks

Work pcs have that too

[lost fossil]

the cooler mounting holes at the mobo are at the 90 degree or parallel (depends on how you look at it) and so the fan screw holes on the heatsink have to go somewhere

and they aint boutta design a fan that sits at the 90 degree or parallel (depends on how you look at it) with screw holes offset tomatch the screw holes on the heatsink itself

so that's why the fan is rotated a bit

[civic cloud]

Zip tie it

they had that little mascot guy in the ads

[rapid lake]

These don’t work in my experience

Only thing that bas worked for me is called Decalyn (which is dequalinium and lidocaine)

The lidocaine numbs your throat a bit

[thin turtle]

Has*

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

they don't but they soften the throat a lil bit in the moment

and so i eat these pills to get enough in the moments until the throat is back to normal

I usually go jog

For when I have illness

[lost fossil]

they call him jogchamp

[lost fossil]

they're the same picture

[rapid lake]

[quaint helm]

so not same picture

[rapid lake]

They’re not the same

They have different ingredients

I didn’t know strepsils came in the variant on the right actually, those ones are good

That one has benzocaine and the usual antiseptic

there's the regular strepsils and the stronk one which (now that you said that) is different color

"strepsils intensif"

INTENSIF

[lost fossil]

im just tryna brighten up the mood so that you laugh and your sore throat hurts as a result

that's a lot of flavors

That’s an opioid

Give prescription

I mean we give out some drugs that have codeine without prescriptions

But not to anyone

Like if a guy that looks high asf walks in and asks for solpadeine (has 8mg codeine) he’s not getting it

I’ve never willingly taken anything with codeine because I fear dependence

Probably taken some as a kid

Looks legit

I wish they did here

I still have to bust my eyeballs trying to understand what the hell the doctors have written

Occasionally we get ones that are printed

Hello I have a financial question

[thin turtle]

Yes go ahead

[quaint helm]

TECH MATH AND CODE

no money

[wheat kayak]

I mena pricing but oh well

I am not the best at these kind of things

[thin turtle]

Man shut up

Mods ban this

[wheat kayak]

Hello all I want to ask about pricing and stuff, I want to buy my friend's old laptop but there are some details

He changed his inside the laptop fan, added 16 gb ram to his already 16 gb ram, and added roughly 1tb ssd to his already 512 gb. The laptop is almost 6 years old and the condition visually shows(I can refer to a photo of the keyboard if needed)

The laptop brand new is:
ASUS, TUF F15 FX506Lu, Intel Core i7 - 10870H, max 5.0 GHz, 15'6" FULL HD, 144hz, 16gb, 512gb ssd, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6gb, free dos

In my country it goes for 4800 RON (950€ ), what would be a fair price to ask? He recommended 800 € (4000 RON)

Sorry if this is the wrong channel

[civic cloud]

It's 950€ NEW and he wants 800€ for a 6 year old machine? Absolutely not

[thin turtle]

Bargain

300

The seller is offering you a bad value

[quaint helm]

sybau poopie

[thin turtle]

So we got 32 GB of ddr4
i7 10th gen
Gtx 1660Ti

The ram expansion is unnecessary here

But if you really have some specific workflow sure.

Anyway the product is overpriced

It should be around half the price

Given it is 6 years old

That's too old in technology

@wheat kayak

[wheat kayak]

More lije 5 but I catch your drift

[thin turtle]

Still

[thin turtle]

You have many press points here

You should use them

Buying a new laptop for 800€ price would be the better option if the used laptop was non negotiable

[wheat kayak]

I think the +16gb ram made him shoot up the price

[thin turtle]

Well ram isn't really cheap these days lol

But it's business

You don't need to buy this specific offer

I'm sure you'll find something better

[wheat kayak]

Uh its from a very close friend and I alwyas been a pushover money wise so it's kinda hard for me to negotiate

[thin turtle]

Mind me if I asked a question?

[wheat kayak]

Im kinda bringing personal stuff sorry

[wheat kayak]

Yea sure Go ahead

[thin turtle]

What do you need a computer for

[thin turtle]

I'm sure your friend would understand your reasoning

[wheat kayak]

Gaming 💀

[thin turtle]

Only?

[wheat kayak]

I mean I do want to eventually use it for some coding in autocad for collge, which is very demanding apparently, but that's not for another 2 years or so

[thin turtle]

I see

Do you have a laptop right now?

[wheat kayak]

I do but it's cooked

[thin turtle]

Autocad isn't that demanding on educational levels

You'd be surprised how good it runs on ancient hardware lol

[wheat kayak]

I don't want to sound like a degenerate but I do plan on using it 95% for gaming

[thin turtle]

Anyway what I'm trying to get to is, mobility is what matters the most here

If you university is close to home and you don't mind working or studying at home then a desktop is a very good option

[wheat kayak]

🤔

[thin turtle]

Laptops and especially the ones labelled "gaming" laptops are kind of a waste if you don't use them in mobile situations

They are weaker than desktops and generally more expensive

So yeah

[wheat kayak]

I am kind of moving a lot to be fair

[thin turtle]

Yeah that's a thing to consider

Also how much space you got in your room

[wheat kayak]

I am staying with my gf rn but next year I'll be moving in college dorms and maybe after 2 years I'll be moving back with my gf... I have a very chaotic life

[thin turtle]

You make your mind

[wheat kayak]

Uh oh not enough for a desktop that's for sure

[thin turtle]

Desktops are more comfortable to work with in long study hours and such

But they are static

Laptops are more uncomfortable but mobile

Ideally you should have both

More money in the desktop and just enough to run documents of a laptop lol

[thin turtle]

Yeah

Then you go and explore the market and come here to compare the offers

[wheat kayak]

It is important to mention that I am financially independent with a part time job only playing rent as well

[thin turtle]

We would be happy to help

[wheat kayak]

To be fair the main issue is that I am not sure what to look for

Or rather what I am looking at*

[thin turtle]

Look for "gaming" laptops that are around your set budget and we will see which one is best

To know what you're looking for there are certain numbers and features that you will understand the more you see benchmarks and ratings

It takes a lil time to get a general grasp of what to look for

[wheat kayak]

I don't understand anything, I found 2 laptops in my price range, and one is 250 less euros and has more ram, I don't get it

[fickle finch]

Anyone setup a pfsense at home

[thin turtle]

Once you tell us the product names we will find out

[wheat kayak]

Ok so

Laptop Gaming LENOVO LOQ 15ARP9, AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS pana la 4.2GHz, 15.6" FHD, 24GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, Free DOS, Luna Grey

Brand new no more 2nd hand

I also found this with +250 eur (stillvin my price range) but it has less ram and ion understand why it is more expensive

Laptop Gaming ASUS TUF F17 FX707VJB-HX081, Intel Core 5 210H pana la 4.8GHz, 17.3" Full HD, 16GB, SSD 512GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, Free DOS, Mecha Gray

[thin turtle]

How much is this one

[wheat kayak]

Theyre both shy of 700 €, but the asus one has a sale from 920 to 700

I was adviced by a friend to go for the asus tho

[thin turtle]

You see now we have a learning opportunity

The graphics card: RTX 3050 6GB

This one is a highlight

Because it has only 6 GB of VRAM

Which is a capacity of a videos card

Modern games tend to overflow 8GB of VRAM

So a 6 GB VRAM is not up to modern games standards

We should avoid these

Our bare minimum is 8GB

[wheat kayak]

Dam

[rapid lake]

You have 800

Well

As I said before

Laptops are overpriced

So I dunno

800 is a lot of money

That's like ps5 pro

[quaint helm]

lenovo = decent , asus is expensive bcus its ASUS that branding price

[thin turtle]

They are the same price

[quaint helm]

shshshhshshshshshshshsh

[thin turtle]

So rude

Take the lead

If you're so excited

[wheat kayak]

No don't leave me saitama you have been such a big help

[quaint helm]

no , pookie

[thin turtle]

I am not very good with advices

I might get you lost

[wheat kayak]

And yet you solo carried

[thin turtle]

That's not a good sign

Anyway

You should learn about these components a little more

Watch some YouTube about how to select a proper gaming laptop

They usually have a better way to communicate ideas

[wheat kayak]

The cheapest 8 vram I found is 1200 €

[thin turtle]

[wheat kayak]

Ight have a good one thank you for the help

[thin turtle]

These are quite the difficult times for computer hardware

The prices are increasing due to the shortage caused by AI companies

They place very large orders and cause the whole market to pause

[hardy orbit]

yo guys, im giving away ddr5 ram. Just take a pill i will give you and get into my van and we will get to my deposit and give ram to all of you guys, any quantity you wanth

[quaint helm]

@thin turtle potato tomato

[spark flume]

W

we need more people like this

[rapid lake]

Most M chip macbooks can game better than 99% of non-gaming windows laptops

Especially if Macbook Pro

I wouldn’t game on a macbook air

[rapid lake]

That’s a bad deal

You don’t need allat RAM, you can get a LOQ with less RAM and a much better GPU

LOQs are good in general but that’s a bad spec

And that cpu is kinda slow too

Look for the one with r7 and 4060

It should be around same price now I think

And you can upgrade RAM later

This is 4050 and slightly out of your budget

These prices make no sense

Double the RAM, slightly slower CPU, $40 cheaper

[nova steppe]

but for a 50-class card it should be fine, as you won't have settings up high enough to fill that anyway, unless you were actually targeting 1080p 30fps

[quaint helm]

rmb price and game limitation

[rapid lake]

Ngl they’re kinda cheap for the performance

And the screen is nice

Also apple ecosystem

[quaint helm]

its just some oled

[rapid lake]

It’s not oled

No macbook has an oled

Most macbook users would get burn-in if it was lol

Because usually those people are using it for work and they have certain static elements in the apps they use, i.e editing software

[snow rover]

apple hasn't invented oled yet?

shocking

[hardy orbit]

laptop is shit

prove me wrong

[rapid lake]

Mfw apple doesn’t make their own screens

Since some people are chronically scrolling on tiktok on their phones, how do their phones not get burn in

They’re always seeing the same UI elements

[snow rover]

they do

i've seen phone screens with tiktak very noticeably burned in

[rapid lake]

I’ll be looking our for that next time I buy a phone since I buy used

[civic cloud]

@rapid lakesend me highly addictive pain killers pls

i can barely eat

[rapid lake]

Why

Open your mouth

[civic cloud]

throat hurty

🥺

i should have gotten soup instead of pizza

[rapid lake]

Not even the strepsils helped

[civic cloud]

it mostly numbs my tongue

which only hurts a lil cuz i burned it with tea

[rapid lake]

Ngl throat pain gotta be the worst

I get it every 2 months or so and need to take antibiotics

[civic cloud]

wtf

i never had it this bad

[rapid lake]

Ever since I was a kid

I was fat, but then I started getting ill very frequently and lost a lot of weight

[civic cloud]

well, its certainly harder to eat when your throat hurts

[rapid lake]

Haven’t really found anything to be very helpful

And I lose my appetite anyways

[civic cloud]

🥺

[rapid lake]

Is it just that

Or are you sick

[civic cloud]

i was sick, only had a lil sore throat

then the cold was gone and the sore throat flared up way more :D

[rapid lake]

Do you know how to examine your tonsils

If they’re enlarged or have red or white spots

[civic cloud]

no :D

let me look into the mirror

[rapid lake]

You need to open your mouth and say AAA

Use flashlight

Honestly cameras have gotten pretty good you could take a video

[civic cloud]

my giant tongue is in the way

anyway my tongue is concerningly white in the back, so its some kinda of illness for sure

[rapid lake]

Oi

Might be fungal then

[civic cloud]

D:

[rapid lake]

Go pharmacy

[civic cloud]

calling doc tomorrow

fuck the pharmacy

[rapid lake]

Wtf

Pharmacists > doctors

[civic cloud]

no 🤨

[rapid lake]

Yes

Doctors suck ong

[civic cloud]

maybe in your place

here its +7 years of studying

[rapid lake]

No appointments needed at the pharmacy

And you don’t get prescribed shit that’s out of stock

And you don’t pay for consulting

[rapid lake]

It’s not the doctors themselves that are bad it’s just pharmacists are better

Pharmacists don’t get enough credit here, like people will call their doctor to ask if the pharmacist can change their prescription (that is for a drug that’s out of stock for weeks) for an equivalent in front of my dad

[civic cloud]

the average age in my city is probably +60yrs, theres like 5 pharmacies on the way from the doc to my home

[rapid lake]

Mf the pharmacist is in front of you

[rapid lake]

Damn

[civic cloud]

they have everything

and if not, they get deliveries twice a day

[rapid lake]

It’s not about us running out

It’s the thing being out of stock from the supplier

Happens a lot here

Especially when they want to raise prices

[civic cloud]

i get that

[rapid lake]

Btw, my cultural studies professor studied in germany

And he’s from my hometown

[civic cloud]

cultural studies sounds like smth that doesnt pay the bills

[jaunty pond]

lol

[rapid lake]

He’s not doing it for the bills I don’t think

He just likes this stuff

Has a bunch of publications

[civic cloud]

why do you have a cultural studies course

engineers dont need ethics

[rapid lake]

Lmao

We have a whole course on engineering ethics alone

And 3 cultural studies courses

[civic cloud]

This is anti military industrial complex propaganda

[sterile cliff]

Oops i accidentally invented a new weapon for the military

Silly me

[thin turtle]

No idea tbh

Better safe than sorry

[thin turtle]

I think it's about accountability and stuff

That an engineer realise the consequences of their actions

Whether it was a bad design or maybe weapons

But I doubt engineers can be sued for making weapons

[rapid lake]

That's not really what we take

It's a lot more of, how to behave in a team, how to behave as a leader of a certain project, what sort of personality traits an engineer is supposed to have etc

What's wrong with making weapons

This is not germany

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

Yeah I was saying, that it isn't among the unethical things

Hop on deep rock

[rapid lake]

I sleep

[thin turtle]

I will watch you

[rapid lake]

I tried heavily limiting my download and upload to see if my bufferbloat test gets better

It got worse

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

Man tech nowadays is so boring

It's just AI

[thin turtle]

Start making cad tutorials

[cold elbow]

People will still usep ai to get wrong answers

They'll follow it anyway

[rapid lake]

Man

I can't look around for 5 seconds in my ENGLISH class and not see someoen using chatgpt

Should I buy one of these expensive routers with SQM

Or is it gonna be just as bad due to my ISP

[nova steppe]

[livid walrus]

If you are a gamer, working remotely, got DSL, Cable or low bandwidth. Then yes.
Keep in mind that SQM is CPU-intensive so make sure you buy a high-end router to handle SQM at those speeds.

[nova steppe]

His max speeds are less than 100 megabit, so I think he'll be fine 🥲

[rapid lake]

100?

[nova steppe]

I was going by the old standard splits of 10/100/1000

[rapid lake]

wait

This is on my laptop using wifi, about 2 meters away from the main router

and then I got A+ on the other laptop running ethernet from the main router, because this one doesn't have an ethernet port

are we deadass

Although it's pretty sus that the max latency under load for download is lower than while it's unloaded

but alright, good thing I have a very shlong cable to test on my PC

Though I don't want someone to wake up at 3 AM and trip on the cable because it'll be in running from the living room, to hallway, to my room

hold on

now we're actually on crack

this is while connected to the repeater on wifi on the laptop

is my pc just broken or something

[nova steppe]

have you updated the drivers of the network card?

[rapid lake]

I don't recall

Shouldn't windows do that by itself

I just tested with ethernet on the repeater just to see if it's just the repeater doing shenanigans because it's wifi after all

And got A+

So the culprit is 100% the PC

[rapid lake]

Which is it

[nova steppe]

the only one that specifies it's a network card

[rapid lake]

https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=583

So, this

[nova steppe]

Go to the website for your motherboard and see if there are drivers there

then you can get the generic one for the part if it's not there

[rapid lake]

Yeah there's this one

Imagine it's just the drivers

[nova steppe]

oh hey, they're new, too

[rapid lake]

if it's just the drivers I'm gifting someone here dn

ok done the drivers

[nova steppe]

I'd shut down and reboot (as opposed to a "restart") after they're done

[rapid lake]

mfw

[nova steppe]

lol

I ignore windows updates until it says "fuck you" and installs anyway

[rapid lake]

Alright I shut down and rebooted

Time to get disappointed

Yep

There's something severely wrong

Back to the laptop, same repeater, same ethernet cable and everything

I think I should buy a usb-A to ethernet adapter

and test with that

mobo network card might be dead

Do I need to concern myself with any of these

[nova steppe]

if the option you have highlighted is on, then set it to off

same with Green Ethernet, but let me check

[rapid lake]

Yeah it's on

[nova steppe]

yeah, turn that off, too, if it's on

[rapid lake]

It is

[nova steppe]

I only saw all this for the first time like, a month ago, when I was trying to diagnose my own network issues

[rapid lake]

Weirdly enough the unloaded latency on my PC is always lower

[thin turtle]

[nova steppe]

That's how it should work, though?

or you mean, opposed to the laptops?

[rapid lake]

Yeah opposed to the laptops

Laptops is like +15 ms

no bueno

There is no trace of MSI Center or anything MSI other than afterburner

This might not be the greatest idea but I'll do bufferbloat test on 4G on my phone, then tether to my PC with USB and see if it's different than when connected to the repeater. I noticed earlier I'd get huge latency on Minecraft on regular wifi but not on 4G from phone hotspot

It was a worse idea than I thought

This is from phone

💀

I give up

Wifi on phone

Everything has stopped making sense

[quaint helm]

must be the wifi

ayyyy i got a C

[civic cloud]

wow ur so smart

[quaint helm]

yehhhh 🤓

[rapid lake]

[daring knot]

@burnt scarab what's the difference between video ram and ram

[thin turtle]

Video ram is used by the graphics card only. It acts as a way to load the necessary visual data from the game to display them on the screen.

The RAM has almost the same function but it is for the system in general. Like it isn't only for visual data

It's for all data

The ram is usually accessed by the CPU only

[quaint helm]

[thin turtle]

Or something

[civic cloud]

@rapid lake I'm at the doc 😎

[quaint helm]

get treated by a doc like a dog

[civic cloud]

no I've been here before and he's very nice

If nvidia doesn't release the 6070 and the 6090 it will be the biggest fumble in history of fumbling

[civic cloud]

[thin turtle]

You buy 6090 and I buy 6070Ti

[civic cloud]

I buy apartment and continue to use my 3080 until it breaks :3

[thin turtle]

Buy you can't run gta 6 on 4k

67 fps

Smh

60 fps is such a terrible experience

And gaming companies are still blue balling people with 30

This what happens when you stop being a consumer and become a fanboy

[rapid lake]

What he say

@thin turtle @nova steppe

I tweaked some things on the PC

It did cut my bandwidth in half however

Went from 80mbps on steam to 35

[thin turtle]

What are you doing

Does this make your gaming better?

[rapid lake]

I'm hopping on rn to test

[thin turtle]

The problem is the router priority settings

[rapid lake]

But theoretically it should

[thin turtle]

It doesn't pass the small data first

Or the gaming data

It moves everything in order

Even if you cut the bandwidth to half

That might not be it

[rapid lake]

That's not what I did

[thin turtle]

What did you do

[rapid lake]

My bandwidth was cut as a result of changing a setting called TCP Windows Auto-Tuning

[thin turtle]

The router will still have the highest impact

"Gaming" routers address this problem

Or some of the normal ones

Of you can enable the settings

[rapid lake]

I get lag even when there's no load on the router

[thin turtle]

How do you know

Devices still use the Internet even when unattended

[rapid lake]

I know because there's no one home and I can see how much bandwidth the router is giving

[thin turtle]

The router will give you the full bandwidth if you use a cable

It doesn't conflict with WiFi

[rapid lake]

I am

ionno about that though

[thin turtle]

Well maybe you just have skill issue

It's okay

[rapid lake]

I just played for a bit, 58ms with no lag

I'll try to put some load and see what happens

Usually I can't even watch a YT video while playing

watching in 1440p 60 and playing with no issues

I'm gonna run the steam download at the same time

700 ping

alr bro

[thin turtle]

Nothing personal

[lost fossil]

u might not get to watch that

[rapid lake]

I reverted the settings I changed, went back to using the repeater in universal repeater mode connected to the router, and now I still get an A+

makes no sense idk

I only kept one settings which is uh

I disabled bufferless tracking in regedit

FSR Performance is better than DLSS ?

in what way

Performance is like the lowest tier of either

so if you mean DLSS Performance is inferior to FSR Performance

that's debatable

FSR 4 is not supported in any cards except AMD Radeon 9000 right?

no

I'm just addressing an impossible comparison case
