[rapid lake]

That’s the same design as mine

And more expensive

Gas springs

[quaint helm]

pcdiga

[lost fossil]

pcpoga mentioned

[rapid lake]

Be ready to move your desk forward a bit

[lost fossil]

i hate these desk clamps tbh

[quartz kayak]

actually no

It will just work

my microphone is in that aswell

very nice

[quartz kayak]

its either that or the normal stand

my old monitors stand is kinda very very very used

poor stand

so i wanted a way to lift it, might aswell just buy for both

[quaint helm]

i found a good ram deal for 500$ wtf

trident z neo 32g 6400mhz

[quartz kayak]

💀 at 500 good?

holy has ram gone up

[quaint helm]

yes

skyrocket

🚀

[quaint helm]

another shop selling 630$ ish same stuff

[rapid lake]

Ion get

It

[quartz kayak]

the stand will go in the gap

not like, on the wall

[rapid lake]

So your desk is already away from the wall

[rapid lake]

this is the photo of all tim

[quartz kayak]

Like this

ignore how dirty it is under the pc

its due to a clean in the near future

[rapid lake]

Yeah I know what you mean

[quartz kayak]

the desk is against the wall

[rapid lake]

The desk is already away from the wall because of that mesh thing

[quartz kayak]

yeah

[rapid lake]

Whatever it is

[rapid lake]

Bro put the sticker on the glass

A proud 2060 owner

[quartz kayak]

its inside

[rapid lake]

Oh lmao

[quartz kayak]

xd

at the time when i bought it

no one else had 2060s

[rapid lake]

What the hell is that gpu design though

[quartz kayak]

all my friends were using 1660s and 1650s

like peasents

[rapid lake]

Who’s the peasant now

[quartz kayak]

ur beeing a victim of optical illusion

combo ed by it

[rapid lake]

Nah

It’s just flat

[quaint helm]

why so dirty

[rapid lake]

There’s no holes on the top or anything

Honeycomb, normal grills etc

Where are they

[rapid lake]

Because

PSU

Imagine having one of those fanless psus

[quartz kayak]

holy fuck

theres an old photo of the pc with cringe anime wpp

now the rgb is all mismatched and ugly bcs i cba to download spyware on my pc

i have grown into a horrible creature

istg i had more photos here but i think they god deleted when i got beaned

Ryzen 7 2700x
Wraith prism
Gtx 2060 tuf 4gb (OC)
ATX Asus TUF Gaming B450-PLUS II
XPG SPECTRIX D41 DDR4 8GB( x2)

now it has a watercooler bcs the cooler broke

who buys, 500 its yours

[snow gazelle]

xsx or ps5 new would be better than this

[thin turtle]

only 24h prior get delete

or so I heard

[quartz kayak]

[thin turtle]

how many cores in that cpu

[quartz kayak]

i bought this when i had a ps4 pro

i still do

[quartz kayak]

16 i think

[snow gazelle]

8 but it's slow as shit

[thin turtle]

@rapid lake a server computer

[quartz kayak]

8 cores

[thin turtle]

buy for us

[quartz kayak]

16 threads

[thin turtle]

you know

[quartz kayak]

its defenetely capable of beeing a server

[thin turtle]

if you were near me I would've bought that

[quartz kayak]

No?

[thin turtle]

but for like 300

[quartz kayak]

then what would i do without a pc

[thin turtle]

I bargain

[thin turtle]

get a job

[snow gazelle]

i'm about to get a used 6800xt for 300$

[quartz kayak]

yeah lmao sureeee

[thin turtle]

no driver support or something

[quartz kayak]

here prices for a 2060 pc without a watercooler round the 550s

[thin turtle]

give that guy 150

[quartz kayak]

so 500 is a very good deal already]

[thin turtle]

I don't care

[snow gazelle]

i'm still getting updates on 6600xt

wdym

[quartz kayak]

lumbago the kinda guy to scroll marketplace and just lowball everything until he gets somethign

🔥

[thin turtle]

[quartz kayak]

actually selling it rn wouldnt be a bad decision

i ve got money

i could probably buy something rounding 1500

but like what am i gonna use it for

i only play cs

minecraft

like

games nowadays are so ASSSS

[thin turtle]

maintenance driver support

delayed updates or something

not ideal

find rtx 3080ti

[toxic sentinel]

They have switched 6000 series to Legacy drivers so it doesn't get game support for newer titles. By support I mean optimizations.

[snow gazelle]

new games suck anyway

[snow gazelle]

costs way more and not enough vram

[quartz kayak]

thats what im sayinnn

helldivers is cool ig

[thin turtle]

why this cope always

be a consumer

think

[quartz kayak]

the cool games arent that heavy

[toxic sentinel]

I'm not sure if Legacy drivers still get game optimizations for new titles if enough time has passed, but definitely not that fast

[quartz kayak]

i still gotta play terraria on the new update

[thin turtle]

12 GB is good for 1440p

[quartz kayak]

@thin turtle chop chop

[thin turtle]

send invite

[toxic sentinel]

GTA VI will come to PC eventually

[snow gazelle]

if i were to play a new game, it'll be after like 6 months or so when i get on sale so day 1 driver updates doesn't matter

[quartz kayak]

buy ps5

how does plus still exist

someone do something

[snow gazelle]

like 2 years left

[toxic sentinel]

I probably will, but not all PC gamers are willing to

[toxic sentinel]

True

[thin turtle]

well depends on what you're playing tbh

if you play competitive FPS then FSR 3.1 gives more frames generally

since dlss is heavy

when speaking of nvidia cards

for amd cards you have limited options

u could force the fsr 4

[toxic sentinel]

XeSS also exists

[thin turtle]

[toxic sentinel]

It's game support is limited sadly

[thin turtle]

lazy intel

[toxic sentinel]

But XeSS should definitely be better looking than pre 4 FSR

[toxic sentinel]

Lazy devs more like

[thin turtle]

[toxic sentinel]

They put FSR in most titles and call it a day as it's more popular than XeSS

Even when XeSS looks better

[thin turtle]

does it

[toxic sentinel]

FSR4 might have changed things, but it's not available on most RX GPU

[toxic sentinel]

On Cyberpunk 2077 at least

[thin turtle]

nice

[toxic sentinel]

Would imagine that's the case for other games too as XeSS is ulizing AI upscaling

[thin turtle]

forcing fsr4 adds AI too

[rapid lake]

4gb???

💀

[thin turtle]

u see the delusion

he want 500

[quartz kayak]

its 6gb

i was dum

back then

Asus GeForce RTX 2060 TUF OC 6GB GDDR6

[toxic sentinel]

Does it work on RX 6000 or 7000 though?

[rapid lake]

That shi not worth 400

I’ll give u 350

[thin turtle]

yes that's the idea of "forcing"

[toxic sentinel]

I thought only RX 9000 has dedicated cores for that

[thin turtle]

it will even work on nvidia cards

[quartz kayak]

its better than the supers somehow

[thin turtle]

right

[toxic sentinel]

Is there any performance hits etc. by forcing it?

[quartz kayak]

https://versus.com/en/asus-tuf-geforce-rtx-2060-gaming-oc-vs-gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2060-super-gaming-oc

[thin turtle]

there are tests

generally there are gains

https://youtu.be/U4B3vmWg9bg?si=kB2UTcm3JFo3LZTt

this dude talks about them in multiple videos

I was not keeping track lol

[rapid lake]

What does that score even mean

[quartz kayak]

its better by 2 points

xD

[thin turtle]

nice

[quartz kayak]

and its worst on performance

[rapid lake]

[quartz kayak]

how tf does that work lmao

[thin turtle]

you still use the 2060?

[toxic sentinel]

Interesting

[rapid lake]

Yeah

He’s poor

Poor guy

[quartz kayak]

bbro

im buying a 550 morintoijkifadeujhnfogfnesugesdwa

[thin turtle]

just bought a 670 dollar monitor

buy 5070

silly

or

9070

or something

[rapid lake]

Bro’s monitor more expensive than his PC

Double the price of his pc

[civic cloud]

Bottom keyboard smashing, cute

[civic cloud]

wtf rich boi

[toxic sentinel]

If it's 1440p then RTX 2060 will not have a good time with it

[thin turtle]

it is

[toxic sentinel]

Unless you upscale from 720p-1080p or something

[thin turtle]

1440p oled

[civic cloud]

You got an OLED??

[rapid lake]

I would get a 5800x3D and a 9060xt and slap it into that build

[thin turtle]

@rapid lake deal with this

[rapid lake]

Gauss when he doesn’t read

Aka, gauss

[civic cloud]

I just showed up

and now I'm going to leave to take a nap

[rapid lake]

Fish got an oled

That’s twice the price of his pc

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

come clear a 101*101 area

with me

[civic cloud]

Very silly

[rapid lake]

Let me clear some uni work first

[civic cloud]

I'm sick and must rest

[rapid lake]

Did you not go to work

[civic cloud]

no

[rapid lake]

Lazy

[civic cloud]

??? I'm sick

[toxic sentinel]

He could always use DLSS performance mode

[rapid lake]

You’re fine just take strepsils and get up

Like a horse

Juan must go to work

[civic cloud]

I'm exclusively running on painkillers

[rapid lake]

Running?

https://tenor.com/view/why-are-you-running-why-are-you-running-away-pretty-liars1-nollywood-gif-16102856

[civic cloud]

I'm just missing my English course, so it's whatever

[rapid lake]

You still have an english course

That’s crazy

[civic cloud]

I need a certificate for my next position that proves that I can speak English, but the certificate is only valid for 3 years...so you need to keep doing these stupid courses

[rapid lake]

That is stupid

[civic cloud]

oui

[thin turtle]

yeah actually on a 1440p display aliasing is generally less

[rapid lake]

I have question

[civic cloud]

a question*

[thin turtle]

one could lowball the upscaler

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

How can I render stuff in 1440p then downscale to 1080p to see how my gpu would perform with a 1440p monitor

Last time I tried it everything looked weird

[civic cloud]

go into game, set resolution to 1080p and then set resolution scaling to 1.25x

or whatever x it is

[rapid lake]

Not all games have that

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

skill issue

[civic cloud]

Find a game that has it, duh

[rapid lake]

I want to try all games

[thin turtle]

there's a setting in nvidia control panel

[rapid lake]

I tried rdr2

[kindred vapor]

Gta has it

[rapid lake]

It was alright

[thin turtle]

I think

[rapid lake]

Yes

But idk how

[civic cloud]

Might as well just look for 1440p performance tests with your gpu

[thin turtle]

maybe they put it in the app

[quartz kayak]

depends on the game actually

[rapid lake]

My gpu is special

[quartz kayak]

but yeah generally its gonna poo itself

[rapid lake]

It’s not like other 3060s

[civic cloud]

Uhu

[rose yacht]

Said bro with 8gb vram

[civic cloud]

Play factorio

[rapid lake]

It’s my 3060

[rapid lake]

12

[kindred vapor]

Just enable dsr in nvidia app

[rapid lake]

L bozo

[quartz kayak]

my objective is to save now to get a pc

[rose yacht]

I ate the 4

[thin turtle]

see youtube

[rose yacht]

Hunger is not satisfied

[thin turtle]

sussy baka

[kindred vapor]

It will give you multiple scaling options including 1.25x

[rose yacht]

Sussy baka in the big 26

That should have stayed in 2022

[rapid lake]

1.25x 1080p is what

[quartz kayak]

OIOIOI BAKAAAA

[kindred vapor]

And then all games will show 1440p option

[rose yacht]

Now youre just cringe

[thin turtle]

67

[rapid lake]

And 4K?

[thin turtle]

yk what else is big

[thin turtle]

[rose yacht]

The low taper fade

[quartz kayak]

i have level 1000 aura

[kindred vapor]

Hold on you actually need about 1.3x

For 1440

[rapid lake]

And you want 500 for your dog ahh pc

Smh

[quartz kayak]

does it have a watercooler

[kindred vapor]

For 4k it will be just 2x

[quartz kayak]

does it have 1tb of ssd

[thin turtle]

@rapid lake try this setting

[rapid lake]

Watercoolers are $40

It has a screen

[quartz kayak]

not mine

[rapid lake]

And peripherals

[kindred vapor]

Image scaling is different I think

[rapid lake]

Bro ur cpu pulls like 70 watts

[kindred vapor]

Why don’t you just watch youtube videos of people benchmarking on your gpu

[quartz kayak]

i bought a big cooler bcs my objective was to upgrade

but i was too broke

[rapid lake]

Not even

[quartz kayak]

also 500 is still cheaper

[rapid lake]

65 watt cpu

😭

[quartz kayak]

677

[rapid lake]

Ew rgb

How much was it

[quartz kayak]

150

[kindred vapor]

Oh yeah image scaling is the opposite of dsr

[rapid lake]

💀

[quartz kayak]

its 130 now

[thin turtle]

what about this

[rapid lake]

I’m getting this

[quartz kayak]

dont judge my bad pueschases bro

eww lian li

bro

ur getting bullied

[rapid lake]

Watch it go out of stock now

[quartz kayak]

ggs

[rapid lake]

It’s the apple of pcs

My jam

[quartz kayak]

more like the trash of pcs

[rapid lake]

You don’t know what you’re talking about

[thin turtle]

where did xeno go

[quartz kayak]

im pretty sure there are better watercoolers for less

[thin turtle]

come back

[quartz kayak]

like that crazy one from arctic coolers

[rapid lake]

And this is on the way

[rapid lake]

Liquid freezer?

[thin turtle]

this ayoub guy is running a monopoly

[quartz kayak]

what the fuck is going on 🔥

[rapid lake]

I don’t think we have any 360 liquid freezers unfortunately

[thin turtle]

so cheap

[rapid lake]

[quartz kayak]

no the suunto womens sport watch

[rapid lake]

Lian li >

Go watch review trust

[quartz kayak]

my knowledge on the matter is not updated

[rapid lake]

Does your pc case have wood

Only me and @civic cloud are cool like that

[quartz kayak]

nah

wood wouldnt look good on my setup

this pc doesnt either dont get me wrong

but its better than wood atp

im like 2 presses away from buying windows tint 0% and just hiding the insides

[rapid lake]

Buying windows? But windows is free

I hate how much noise I have in my room after we put windows

[cold elbow]

What

[quaint helm]

Ms 'i hate noise' spawn

[twin badger]

Of course it's gonna look weird

[lost fossil]

you should be able to just add the 1440p resolution for that monitor in its settings

that's what i was doing for a long time with my 1080p moneter to make windows (actual windows, not the os as a whole) work properly

it will look a bit blurry tho

[rapid lake]

I’ll try

[rapid lake]

Why was it not working

Does it get stupid when there’s displays with different resolutions

[lost fossil]

i didn't like how some apps worked with inconsistent resolution scaling between the monitors

app itself blurry af

[civic cloud]

Have you tried triple pane windows

[rapid lake]

No I don’t have money

[civic cloud]

Always the same excuse

You're gonna ask me about some random thing later today and how you want to buy it

cuz then you suddenly do have money again

[rapid lake]

Accurate

I am getting the case next month I promise

After that I’ll be forced to make upgrades because this matx mobo is not doing it

[civic cloud]

"forced"

what case

[rapid lake]

I’m almost out of USB-A ports, there’s only like 2 usb 3.2, it has no usb-c no support, no argb headers, only 2 fan headers, a singke nvme gen 3 slot, and one pcie lane

[civic cloud]

Mid, get fractal north

[civic cloud]

Sounds ancient, do you have a specific motherboard you want to upgrade to yet?

[rapid lake]

@thin turtle https://youtube.com/shorts/6y9bDdkxQhM?si=ayhFU_XaA1cDpPfV

[rapid lake]

I’m not sure if I should spend literally all of my money to upgrade to ddr5 or not

And after all I’ll still be on intel

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

I don’t think it’s worth it

[civic cloud]

any chance to just...plug in fewer USBs?

[rapid lake]

And upgrading to am5 is an extra $2-300

[rapid lake]

Bruh

You’re missing the point

The whole mobo is doomed

And it’s matx in an atx case

[civic cloud]

well you just said an upgrade is super expensive, so I'm checking if it's possible to continue using your current hardware

[rapid lake]

Looks like a crop top

[civic cloud]

so what

[rapid lake]

An upgrade to ddr5 yeah

I could get a better ddr4 mobo

[civic cloud]

sidegrade?

meh

[rapid lake]

And more nvme storage

[civic cloud]

stream more and download less homework

[rapid lake]

[rapid lake]

Lemme shoq you

[civic cloud]

shoq

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

you dont see the insides of your PC anyway

this is a made up problem

a first world problem so to say

also i want to mention that ive figured out the pill swallowing technique and managed to swallow all my pneicillin pills without chewing them :D

you can call me the throat goat

[quaint helm]

shock 🌩️

[icy plover]

Is 9700X good for 5070

[rapid lake]

Wth

Why would you chew them

Awful taste

[rapid lake]

It won’t bottleneck a 5070

But I’d go for the 7800x3d

For $30-40 more

[icy plover]

Its around 100$ more expensive in my country

This is what i am thinking, dont know much about components

[rapid lake]

32 gb and 2tb in this economy

[rapid lake]

I think these MSI AIOs are prone to failure

[civic cloud]

Because I'm stupid and bad at swallowing, usually

[rapid lake]

Get something that’s tried and tested

[rapid lake]

I can’t swallow multiple pills at once

My grandma did it with ease

[rapid lake]

Can you show us the prices

Pakistani case

[icy plover]

I will convert the prices to usd wait

[rapid lake]

Yeah they are

All the core liquid seem to have potential for their pumps to break

[icy plover]

Processor : 344 usd
Motherboard : 199 usd
Ram : 386 usd
Gpu : 811 usd
Ssd : 344 usd
Cabinet : 57 usd
Cooler : 77 usd
Smps : 93 usd

[icy plover]

Which cooler should i go for , i chose that because it looked good

[rapid lake]

Also uh

That PSU

If it’s the first batch it’s prone to checks notes explosion

Second revision is an A

[icy plover]

I will buy it from a shop

[rapid lake]

But I’d just avoid it altogether

[rapid lake]

You want RGB?

[icy plover]

On cooler , i am fine with either

[rapid lake]

What’s the price of arctic liquid freezer iii 360

[icy plover]

About 133 usd

[rapid lake]

For the PSU check the MSI MAG A850GLS PCIES 850W Power Supply Full Modular - 80 Plus Gold

Should be around $120 also

[rapid lake]

And your total budget is

[icy plover]

2500 usd

[icy plover]

On sellers site , it is MSI A850GL 80 plus gold fully modular atx 3.1

For 105 usd

[rapid lake]

That’s a different one bit

But

It’s still B tier

I think the AIO is too expensive

But it is within budget and you won’t ever need to upgrade it

If you save some money on the cooler you can potentially get a 7800x3d

Which matters in performance

[icy plover]

Which cooler should i go for

[rapid lake]

I’ve no experience with this

@quaint helm come

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

[tawny totem]

Its a bit over budget

[rapid lake]

Hmm alright

It’s cheaper here

[rapid lake]

What about the 15AHP10

[tawny totem]

overbudget

[rapid lake]

Or the nitro V15 if you don’t care about OLED and want a really good cpu

[rapid lake]

How tf

It’s $1200 here

How much sales tax do you have?

[tawny totem]

25

[rapid lake]

[tawny totem]

any exact model?

[rapid lake]

The

This

But I assume it’s also too expensive where you are

This is probably the best value you can get

5060 and OLED

And AI

Might be useful later for you in uni

[thin turtle]

AI power

And it's just copilot

[rapid lake]

Though only 512gb of storage

Check if it’s upgradeable if you need more but it’s gonna cost a kidney

[sterile cliff]

Yeaaa but its a 2k screen

1440p

Which is kinda a meh for 5060's

[brave field]

[quaint helm]

u dont need npu

How are the current gen NPUs? I read something about the last ones being so weak the iGPU could do a better job, but power use was super low or something

Is corsair nautilus 360mm good liquid cooler for about 100usd

[thin turtle]

Buy arctic liquid freezer 3 pro

[icy plover]

For ryzen 7 9700x

[thin turtle]

Anythig aio is overkill probably

[icy plover]

So should i go with a fan cooler

[thin turtle]

Not really

What are the circumstances

The case size

The gpu size

A lot of stuff

I would not use an air cooler with a big gpu

[thin turtle]

How much is the Arctic aio

[icy plover]

About 130 usd

[thin turtle]

Dang

It's not that expensive here

[icy plover]

Is msi mag 360 mm a good aio, it will be about 60 usd

[thin turtle]

You gotta look it up man

Also

Are you sure that these components fit together?

[icy plover]

Nope

1st time buying a pc

[thin turtle]

What are you doing then

[icy plover]

So still researching

[thin turtle]

Oh alr

Some AIOs might not fit in the case at all

You gotta be sure

For example, the arctic cooler is one of the best aio out thers for it's price

[civic cloud]

omg just send him a link to pcpartpicker so he can easily check for compatibility

[thin turtle]

But it has a very thick radiator

It will not be compatible witn all motherboards or cases

You gotta know what you're getting

[thin turtle]

I am not sending anything

Height of the cooler, depth in the case

[thin turtle]

I can't visualise it

Is it the size of the fan?

160mm seems quite low

Looking for cheap yet expandable tablets I can buy used off eBay. Are iPads restricted to things like USB and micro cards just like their phones? Best android tablet would be Samsung? Honor? Something else? I've hardly ever used them what's the biggest battery you can put in those things

[cold elbow]

U probably looking for a Samsung tab A tablet

These are cheap

[uneven heron]

Yeah? They allow me to download apps from the play store and stuff like runelite?

[cold elbow]

Yeah

And even from outside the playstore

There are cheaper options from other brands

They all work u just have to check what u need

[quaint helm]

IPAD MININININININININININI

[cold elbow]

Isn't it too expensive now

And ipad os

[uneven heron]

I have seen some no name brands that seem generic but boast 32G and 5000mah batteries and stuff, they legit or all scams?

[civic cloud]

Why buy the mini? It's just a big phone

[rapid lake]

Cheaper

I wonder what’s the user experience like on those tablet laptops

If only windows didn’t suck with touchscreens

[uneven heron]

I've been looking at tablets and I have found a 2019 8 inch 2GB tablet however I've been told by Google it will barely function. I can pay double for a 4GB ram tablet is it worth the price jump?

[lost fossil]

2gb is bad regardless of how you look at it

told by ai slop

[quaint helm]

send it to a russian/chinese modder and ask them to mod it into a 20gb or more

[lost fossil]

care

it's not me in the market for a cheap tablet

[uneven heron]

I need a new phone too, but if I'm paying 3 digits for a tablet I would sooner use the money for a new handheld instead

Fine, I'll up the budget to 100 and see what options are on ebay

[civic cloud]

i dont think you will get anything nice for 100 quid

your best bet is to get a used ipad 9 or 10

but those are probably closer to 250-300

[civic cloud]

ok but you buy a tablet because you need/want a big screen...and then you buy one thats barely bigger than a phone? stupid

[uneven heron]

I found the Redmi Pad 2, 4GB ram, 90hz and 9000mah battery for £120 and it comes with case. That's brand new from Xiaomi

[uneven heron]

Should I bite the bullet and get this?

[rapid lake]

No

Save and get something good

Stop looking at $100 options

You will get disappointed, it’s gonna be more struggling than being productive

A good ipad will last you years

[civic cloud]

Thank you for agreeing with me hadi

[rapid lake]

I’m going off personal experience being a cheap ass

I’m regret settling for the cheaper options all the time

AI Overview

"I'm not rich enough to buy cheap" means that purchasing low-quality items is a false economy, as they require frequent, costly replacements, notes
this Quora post and this YouTube video.

buying an expensive tablet with a lot of ram would save him money because if he buys a cheap tablet with 4gb ram, it will be useless before it even hits the store shelf and so he'd have to buy another one

4 gigs of ram in [current year] is insane for anything that's not just some sort of microcontroller/computer (RasPi, Arduino, etc)

[uneven heron]

I found the same Redmi but 8GB for the same price on eBay, what about now?

And it's 128GB

[nova steppe]

If it can do what you need it to do, and there's nothing around the price:performance for what you can find, then go for it

If it's not a rush, then you can take your time to find more options, like how you just did

[uneven heron]

Yeah I'm holding off buying as I'm at work rn. I'll give it until the morning and decide, but that sounds good and not too much.

[nova steppe]

My worst financial decisions have been on things that I was pressured to think "It should suffice," but then it's never enough

[uneven heron]

Has 90hz, 9000mah battery and up to 2k screen performance, 1280x1080 or something

2560x1600 my bad

[nova steppe]

Ah okay, I was like, that's kinda low haha

[rapid lake]

Wow

[quaint helm]

a good vid ig

[quartz kayak]

I was wondering if i could justify the cost of this one for a good time too since its so much

I ended up just buying it since i can make it back in a month.

[lost fossil]

very reasonable logic but at the same time it often doesn't work

"working for a whole month just to buy "

[rapid lake]

All of this is making me feel very VERY irresponsible with how I spend my money

shut up pls

[quartz kayak]

😭

Im fucked when i buy the new pc

How am i gonna justify that

[quartz kayak]

Im not working im studying so its not as bad

[rapid lake]

Ngl

[quartz kayak]

I get paid to study

[rapid lake]

A PC is a lot more justifiable than "I want to see colours better"

[quartz kayak]

Not when i already have a good fully working one

Deep down theres gonna be no difference

And its gonna cost alot more

[rapid lake]

It's not gonna be fully working after you start using the 1440p monitor

do you want me to come over that badly

[civic cloud]

This is what consultants get paid big bucks for

[civic cloud]

I just want to know which cities to avoid xoxo

[civic cloud]

oh did I tell you that my uni finally switched my courses around so I'm not in a third try in the mechanics class? :D

and that one of the replacement courses is about dynamics and oscillation? Aka the same shit as before? :D

[rapid lake]

Ah yes

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

Is that a "yes you told me" or "ah yes you're cooked"

[rapid lake]

It's "ah yes, classic uni"

If I did a course 3 times I'd just leave it till the end atp

[civic cloud]

I did it twice and if I fail a third time I get kicked and blocked from a Master of Engineering for automotive engineering

aka I would have wasted an insane amount of time and money

so this was a risk reduction strategy

tldr, I'll be back with funny math questions soon™

Be prepared

You as well @thin turtle

[lost fossil]

this shit so much effort

[civic cloud]

ur right

[lost fossil]

just become a state slave

[civic cloud]

I am a state slave, but to become a higher paid state slave I need a paper saying I got a Master of Engineering

it's literally 1k more for the same tasks

@rapid lake @thin turtle figure out how to do this until April so you can teach me pls thx xoxo

[rapid lake]

Yeah no thanks

Especially not when it's in german

[civic cloud]

Eigenfrequency and eigenvector is almost the same word in English and German

[rapid lake]

yeah we do have those

However I haven't taken any electrical courses yet

I think I've learned skills useful to engineering outside of Uni more than I have in Uni so far

[brave field]

that's how it be

You want to spend 25€ on a 100€ tablet?

I like to protect my things and I plan to take it with me to the gym, and potentially other places

[lost fossil]

this is the kind of case that old ladies put on their phone

just old people in general now that i think of it

you could try looking for cases with extra heft on the corners, but this here that you showed is just too much

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F5H139H4 something like this

[uneven heron]

Old people know what's up

Also, the link is for a phone case. I'm talking about a 11 inch tablet

[lost fossil]

i know that it's for a phone case
i just showed an example of what i was talking about

[rapid lake]

I found my brother in struggle

He's very obviously lebanese and has the same issue as me

Hopefully he replies to my message if he figured out how to escape the matrix

It do be FAST

[uneven heron]

Again, tablet, not phone

[urban mirage]

Is this where i can ask about pc specs

[rapid lake]

Theoretically I shouldn't have any issues with netflix since FAST is done by netflix

[urban mirage]

are these any good specs for 1800€?

[rapid lake]

Used?

That GPU new is $800 by itself

[urban mirage]

Yeah i found it on marketplace

[rapid lake]

the RAM is like 350

CPU is around 380 also I believe

[tawny totem]

I still havent found a laptop :/

[lost fossil]

i know

i just showed an example of what i was talking about

[rapid lake]

The SSD is 120-150 last I checked

But it's quite a shite ssd for the build

[tawny totem]

That suits me

[lost fossil]

man

[rapid lake]

lmao

the AIO is about $100

same for PSU

[uneven heron]

That's a lot of money on a X3D processor you can't even use

[rapid lake]

So idk doesn't look like a particularly great deal

[urban mirage]

Man

[rapid lake]

You could probably build it for around the same price I think

[urban mirage]

A guy in another server told me it was a good price

💔

[tawny totem]

Can I get some help finding a laptop 😄

[rapid lake]

I mean it ain't bad

[rapid lake]

i already recommended one within your budget I believe

[urban mirage]

Is it good specs for the incoming years though?

[rapid lake]

Forgot what it was though

[rapid lake]

I guess

It'll hold up

[tawny totem]

I couldent find it within budget

[rapid lake]

Honestly if you don't care about getting the most bang for your buck and it's a trusted seller I'd go for it

But from the picture it doesn't look like one lol

Are you US by any chance?

[urban mirage]

I'm in Finland and the seller literally lives in the same state like me

Wtf does bang for a buck even mean

[tawny totem]

Performance / money ig

[tawny totem]

Prices are inflated here sadly

[rapid lake]

Oh that makes things very different

Since you have the ridiculous sales tax

That's a decent price

It would probably be like $2300 or something if you did it yourself lol

euros not dollars I mean

[rapid lake]

Let me see what I can find, but first, what sort of performance are you expecting to get? What sorta games are you playing?

[tawny totem]

1080p gaming, gonna play gta, cyberp 2077, beamng

[rapid lake]

Ok how much are lenovo legion pro 5s for you?

You should be able to get something with a 5070

[urban mirage]

So worth it?

[rapid lake]

I think the 5060 one should be in budget

[tawny totem]

Uhh

[rapid lake]

Yeah I'd say so but like idk the prices in finland exactly

[tawny totem]

Lemme me check all stores hold om

On

[rapid lake]

Look up the parts individually and determine if they're cheaper or not

[tawny totem]

I legit cannot find any with a 5060 less than 1480

[rapid lake]

sadge

your budget is 1300 right

[tawny totem]

1400 max

[rapid lake]

Can you find ANY gaming lapto with a 5060 under 1400

Some of the legions are more expensive because they have 2k displays

[rapid lake]

Good lord

My sister got a similar laptop for $1300 a year ago

I think I saw a review for this laptop today

lemme go back to it

Aight

Also found this:
https://cybershop.hr/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=74211&utm_source=nabava.net&utm_campaign=nabava.net&utm_medium=click

[rapid lake]

Can't access that site for some reason

The A14 seems pretty solid in terms of cooling, battery, weight and build quality

Though it is a smaller screen

[tawny totem]

Acer Nitro V16 AI ANV16-42-R16H, Ryzen 7 260, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce RTX 5060, Windows 11

[rapid lake]

At least that one comes with an OS lmao

How petty are these companies that they don't give you the OS for free

[rapid lake]

If it's within budget I'd go with that

Bigger screen, better CPU and GPU

[tawny totem]

To be fair i do have a usb and like 2 windows keys lol

[rapid lake]

lmao

it's just kind of scummy

anyways, the nitro v16 has really good thermals too

[compact dirge]

how do i get into coding?

[tawny totem]

What about noise tho

And baterry life

[rapid lake]

It has stricter power limits so it naturally performs a bit worse than other laptops with the same specs but it doesn't run nearly as hot and is much quieter as a result, but when gaming don't expect it to be "quiet"

You won't ever need to push the CPU that hard

https://youtu.be/f6DOjtG_sAk?si=UGFJdPi6prjRwetv&t=562

You can use it without the charger for doing schoolwork and stuff without issues

Maybe even some light gaming, since you can use the integrated graphics to save battery

And it has really good integrated graphics

It can charge with usb-c too

Limited to 65 watts but still

The RAM is upgradeable and so is the storage

no soldered RAM and an nvme slot

Seems pretty solid tbh

But personally, if you dont need the laptop rn I'd just wait a for a sale on a more expensive laptop to be within your price range

Otherwise, this is a really good choice for your budget

Hold up

Apparently this thing can use more power than the charger is able to provide at full load so it could discharge when plugged in while gaming

Sybau

lowkey I'd just buy a PC for $1000 and get a laptop that can do some gaming

[snow rover]

is cloud gaming good enough to game on yet

[rapid lake]

LTT says yes last I checked

[tawny totem]

Ill be getting it in probably a couple of months, well... hopefully sales start round then

[rapid lake]

oh

GL

By then RAM prices will rise to the point that with everything on sale it'll be the same price as now

https://youtu.be/WXlS92IVsDM?si=DQjpZO4cc0rD4WP5

[cursive skiff]

I have an amd radeon rx 7600 gpu, and i use the very latest version of amd adrenaline edition 26.2.1

The driver keeps resetting either causing a crash or a sudden fps drop

yes slap them

i asked 5-6 of the shops

all say BUNDLE ONLY

like who tf buys a 9900x normally lmao and they limit that shit to bundle

[thin turtle]

I heard someone say that these are panic prices and not shortage prices

The guy from sapphire

Let's see until june

[quaint helm]

even if i ask for preorder , welp same shit BUNDLE ONLY

man wtf

[rapid lake]

No, in fact we never have bundles

[rapid lake]

Bundle as in with ram and mobo right?

[quaint helm]

yeap

[rapid lake]

Is it at least a good deal

[thin turtle]

Why is brother buying ram nowadays

[quaint helm]

thats not the problem , problem is not sure whether they have certain mobo and ram lmao

even if they do , not sure whether do they have the chip lmao

[quaint helm]

my friend wants a new rig

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

the shop have more ram than gpu

[thin turtle]

Might be true what the sapphire guy said

[thin turtle]

Not even L'hopital can save this one

[civic cloud]

Show

[patent crag]

the expression is equivalent to [1 - (2/(2x^2 + 5))]^(8x^2 + 3)

make the substitution y = 2x^2 + 5 to produce
lim y->inf [1 - (2/y)]^(4y - 17)
= lim y->inf [1 - (2/y)]^(4y)

it is well-known that lim x->inf [1 +- (a/x)]^(nx) = e^(+-an), so applying this identity above yields k = 8

this is a rather roundabout (but cool) way to do the problem, but if you are not provided this identity, you can just do the usual ln transformation (limit and ln are interchangeable due to continuity of ln) then forcing a fraction so that l'hopital is applicable, i.e.,

let the limit be L; ln L = lim x->inf (8x^2 + 3) * ln[(2x^2 + 3)/(2x^2 + 5)].

you can rewrite as
ln L = lim x->inf ln[(2x^2 + 3)/(2x^2 + 5)] / [1 / (8x^2 + 3)]
at this point, the limit is still indeterminate but you have it in a fractional form, so l'hopital's rule is applicable

[civic cloud]
