What’s the best LED lights? I don’t have any and I got 30 dollars. What’s the best one to get?

brave field
#

just LEDs? Not RGB strips? What size? Does it need to be controlled by a specific software suite?

dire ledge
#

I mean RGB strips

cold elbow
#

I prefer something bright and has no visible leds

#

With a controller that can even control brightness

brave field
#

Really depends on what you're looking for in the end. If you just want simple, controllable lighting and your motherboard has a 3/4/5pin, you don't need to worry about getting something branded, just some $3 ebay or amazon 5050 or 3258 strips will do

#

If you want one of those fancy per-game systems where your fans flash red when you die... can't help there

dire ledge
#

Thanks

fervent granite
brave field
#

Hm

#

Now they're huge

#

Initially doesn't seem like an improvement, really

#

Shouldn't we get more performance and less power use in the same size?

#

But then I see phones...

fervent granite
#

that's what I was thinking

brave field
#

Same thought with CPUs

fervent granite
#

if we can pack so much into stuff like phone gpu's why not do that for pc's too?

brave field
#

They were so small and 80mm fans were enough, now people buy NH-D15s and Grand Macho RTs to cool their CPU

#

Doesn't need to be phone levels of small, would like to keep upgradeability

#

But still

fervent granite
#

well take the intel nuc for instance

#

even though it's small you can upgrade most parts

#

so my idea is keep this small form factor and just make the parts smaller

cold elbow
#

parts are getting smaller but also intel is pushing 5ghz cpus

#

u need a lot of cooling for that

brave field
#

Smaller, but still seems less efficient

#

Intel's 80486 CPUs used up to 6w of power

#

Sure 65w CPUs are much more powerful and efficient

#

But why does the desktop space no longer have such small and low power parts

#

Why is it now phones only?

cold elbow
#

efficiency goes downhill when u push a chip to the limit, remember how old intel K cpus used to OC from 3.5 to 4.8 or some crazy numbers?

fervent granite
#

I guess they figured that if you wanted a more portable system you would buy something like a surface from the start instead of having a tower

cold elbow
#

most people that buys a pc is for heavy work or gaming, these guys does not care about parts size
if u want something small just get a laptop

brave field
#

Agh

#

I wish there was a more interesting answer but its true

fervent granite
#

something I've always wondered is if laptops can have dedicated cards and other mobile parts then why can't they use this same tech for towers?

brave field
#

Nobody cares that the old was smaller and used much less power

#

And that's always it

#

If customers don't care, why spend an extra 20 cents in production making things a tiny bit smaller

fervent granite
brave field
#

Dies are small enough

cold elbow
#

and it's slowly dying now

fervent granite
#

what a shame honestly

cold elbow
#

asus made a laptop that u can plug a gpu on but that gpu costs as much as the laptop

light sinew
#

Very portable amiright

fervent granite
#

macs with thunderbolt ports also support egpu (provided they run mojave or newer)

brave field
#

eGPU box costs are just as bad

#

$300 for just the box, on top of needing an expensive laptop AND the GPU

#

By then you're spending $3000

#

Might as well buy a desktop, a desk, three monitors, repaint your house walls

cold elbow
#

fervent granite
#

repay my car loan

#

a razer core with a 1080 (msrp) is easily over $650 Hmm

spring condor
#

If you're buying a laptop, cap it at like 900. Any more than that, you're better off with a desktop

light sinew
#

Why does the small case for the external gpu cost three times as much as a high end regular desktop case

cold elbow
#

because it has things like power supply and a pcp

light sinew
#

My laptop was like $1300. Price is completely irrelevant the only reason people by laptops is for portability not price

fervent granite
light sinew
#

Lol

cold elbow
#

isnt that was like 4x ?

#

ah shit

fervent granite
#

Mine was $800 used

brave field
#

I want those laptop shells for phones to get cheaper

light sinew
#

My desktop is what I use now but the laptop worked well before the world, ya know, stood still and I actually used it on the go

#

Once I was stuck in the house I might as well buy a desk setup

fervent granite
#

I just haven't got the time or money to source parts to make my own setup

brave field
#

Display, usb-c multi port, and battery in a a laptop-shaped casing

cold elbow
#

just buy a samsung phone that has that nox or something

brave field
#

A lot of phones have desktop modes hut you need 3-4 clunky adapters and dongles

fervent granite
#

rip samsung dex

brave field
#

Just shove that in a laptop case with a screen and a battery

#

Easy money, and its lighter than many existing laptops

cold elbow
#

there are monitors with batteries that even has ports to plug things

brave field
#

And you get better GPU performance from a phone than most sub-$700 laptops anyways

#

$900 for Intel integrated, ugh

fervent granite
#

that's the problem I had when laptop searching, most manufacturers always cheaped out on something

Hy guys can someone help me?
I installed new windows on my pc and now after the windows loading icon is gone my monitor shuts of and stays like that, anyone knows why?

#

Monitor works while im in bios

astral sphinx
high wagon
#

If the PC shuts off it could be a power supply damage

reef stratus
#

I jsut realized, my resolution as default is too big for monitor

#

It changed since i reinstalled windows, but now i dont know how to lower it

high wagon
#

Check the monitor settings

#

Go to the monitor settings

reef stratus
#

I have a square 17 inch monitor and default res is over 1900x----

high wagon
#

Whats the native resolution?

reef stratus
#

1280x1024 is optimal for my monitor

#

And the default is 1900 x something

high wagon
#

So it isnt a Full HD monitor right?

reef stratus
#

No its not

#

But it worked before and now i dont know how to lower it

high wagon
#

What did you even change

reef stratus
#

Wiped the pc clean and installed new windows

#

So the resolution went to default and that default is too much for my monitor

high wagon
#

Did you change it in Windows itself?

reef stratus
#

I cant, monitor shuts down after windows loading

#

I can enter the bios tho

high wagon
#

Change the settings in the monitor not in windows

Codes and stuff

#

anyone knows a fix for this?, the screen when booting looks very small, same for grub, but no when i'm logged in, it's very annoying cuz there are some options and i can't see them completely, it's virtual box btw

brave field
#

GRUB2 might have some config files you can access once you're logged in

#

if not, I find rEFInd to be a good alternative boot manager, and I think it works in legacy mode as well

#

and you can set a custom resolution there, though it usually won't jump up to 1080p or something, it will scale better

#

Though in Virtualbox, I think VMs not booting in UEFI mode will always start out tiny anyways

#

worth installing the OS in UEFI mode instead of legacy and trying rEFInd in it though. Can always restore an older snapshot

pulsar schooner
brave field
#

yes, though I don't know if you'll need to reinstall your OS or not

#

too many factors there. If it fails, then you will need a reinstall more than likely

pulsar schooner
#

well, kinda worked, the screen is more bigger yes, but, now throwed me to shell, so it only showed me the mapping table, i was get used to use "Fs0" or "fs1" to boot up, but only shows me "blk" devices like this and i'm unable to use them

#

macos

#

why does every version have completely different tutorials

#

and why am I needing tutorials to use an OS

#

why doesn't "get info" just give me the actual file path

#

what was gained by hiding the path to a file

#

and making some pretty menu instead of just listing it

god... how am I gonna sleep now

if i get past 1am im basically committed to staying awake the rest of the day because if i sleep i wont get up in time

I sleep at 8 AM, wake up at 12 PM, attend my lessons, get back home at 5 PM, take a 2 hours nap, wake up again, do my homework, take a 3 hours nap, wake up at 1~2 AM, and stay up coding till 8 AM

@brave field is spending 205 usd on a refurbished 1660 super worth it?

brave field

For some reason my parents wont let me get it even though this is probably the lowest price I’ll ever see

#

NZXT also has a decent reputation

brave field
#

If you're unable to get it further, there should be something around April to June

#

3050 ti or GTX 17 series or something

#

since Nvidia is also going to start producing RTX 2060/S again, maybe those will be a bit cheaper

assuming all of the current supply issues fix themselves quickly

How do I activate my windows
But my uncle lost the activation code

brave field
#

get a new one

#

or if you have a code linked to a microsoft account, use that

jovial tide
#

How

brave field
#

sign in on a new user profile in Windows and it'll be applied automatically if its linked

jovial tide
#

What about a new Microsoft account

brave field
#

a brand new account wouldn't have the license you already redeemed linked to it

#

you need a new license, either from buying, inheriting from an OEM PC for the few that let you do that, or converting a windows 7/8 key

jovial tide
#

I don't know how to do any of those

#

All I want to do is change my cursor

brave field
#

the third is probably the cheapest and easiest

jovial tide
#

Also I don't have money

brave field
#

any old PC with a license sticker on it will do

#

some scrapyards even let you take pictures of the stickers in exchange for a dime

jovial tide
#

No old PC's either

#

Only PC in my house is mine

#

Plus I think there's no scrapyard a near me

fervent granite
#

Those licence stickers actually work? Never worked back in the vista days for me :/

brave field
#

@jovial tide can't sell here

#

@fervent granite OEM licences, one per install for earlier windows

#

I think for XP and Vista, its just one per install, at least

#

For 7 and 8 I think its as many installs on one system as long as you don't have something like 3 Windows installs on the same PC

#

but 7 and 8 keys typed into 10 gives you a digital license that ties to a M$ account that you can use on one install at a time as well

fervent granite
#

Is it only for one pc?

brave field
#

I think the account-linked is just one install at a time

#

so you miiiight not be covered if you dualboot on a system

#

but that for OEM keys

#

a standard one can be trasferred easily

fervent granite
#

at least on my last windows pc buy it had the sticker but the code wasn't there

#

it came with windows 8, so I had no choice but to activate it via other means kek

brave field
#

There's something newer PCs have

#

no clue how they're doing it, but its like the key is stored on a partition without a letter, or some modification to the UEFI, something strange

#

but you can reinstall, never connect to the internet, and be activated

#

and you can only get the characters for your key through powershell commands or a third party tool

fervent granite
#

imo it would've been easier to just keep the code on the sticker

#

because that creates a problem for when you replace the drive or when it dies, like mine

brave field
#

convenience for power users is not a priority, unfortunately

#

Don't replace your own drives, buy a new system!

#

maybe having to have individual and separate printing for each sticker is harder

fervent granite
#

yeah lemme just drop another $800 pepega

brave field
#

verifying paper and the activation info match is probably more work
Need to research the OOBE process OEMs use too, maybe that has useful info

#

smh john

#

You're supposed to have one component of your system fail, claim the entire thing is broken, and drop $800, yes!

man i acted stupid

no

i like to act stupid to see peoples reactions

fervent granite
#

I mean the system32 joke isn't really funny anyway, it's overused

jovial tide
#

and i actually deleted it once

fervent granite
#

the thing is you can't delete them while booted into the system because they're in use

#

if it were linux or macos (somewhat) then yeah ur ded kek

jovial tide
#

good thing it was windows

#

and i also lost all my homework and textbooks

#

but i dont go to that school anymore so hah

fervent granite
#

I keep backups anyway

#

actually easier than ever because now I can actually use time machine instead of relying on google drive/onedrive

jovial tide
#

my friend once deleted my system32
and i lost all my games
so i broke both his hands and deleted his hentai stash

fervent granite
#

sudo rm -rf /

brave field
#

System32 joke is indeed overused

#

But the alternative is sysWOW64 which is less problematic when deleted

#

It doesn't really have any competition.

jovial tide
#

still broke my friends hands

brave field
#

Doesn't sound very friendly

jovial tide
#

well he did delete everything on my pc

probably similar to 3400G

laptops especially always come bundled with shit so I always make sure to delete that stuff (even though it doesn't apply to me anyway kek )

if you have junk like hp help, pre-installed uwp apps, mcafee or other stuff then yeah it's bound to be slow

How the fuck do I keep my themes permanently
And I mean like the mouse cursor and all that

I use a mac so I don't know

even back when I used windows I didn't mess with my cursor too much, I just set it on the black classic theme

because I wanted one?

It would probably replace it with a missing texture one

It might just become a gray entity

#

I cant

rancid ruin

Because I don't know where the character file is located

It would probably be way down the list of files

That might be it

jovial tide
#

How about I delete the WMV file and open up the game

rancid ruin
#

Just make sure that you have a back up

jovial tide
#

I did

rancid ruin

Might mess the game up

#

Alright

jovial tide
#

It just loops the Marvel logo and then exits out

rancid ruin

Lol

#

What if you did that in a great game?

Hey @fervent granite
Do you know how to play halo 3 on pc?

fervent granite
#

isn't it on steam?

jovial tide
#

I don't have 689 rand

fervent granite
brave field
#

Do you have access to $1 gamepass deal?

jovial tide
#

I don't use dollars

brave field
#

whatever the equivalent would be I mean

#

do they offer you a deal in the xbox app

jovial tide
#

I don't use the app

brave field
#

everything not USD, Euro, GBP, AUD, or CAD has to be converted but it might be a good alternative if you decide to try the app someday

#

not having regional pricing for Halo on steam sucks

jovial tide
#

1 dollar is 16 rand

brave field
#

Valve's recommended regional price is 48 rand, interesting

jovial tide
#

Yea if I do end up getting halo 3 by its own id also need the collection

#

Which in itself is 690 rand

#

And each game is about 79 rand
But the odst is 42

brave field
#

will need to cancel the subscription after the first month

#

buuuuut, an option, maybe? There's also 3 months of ultimate for the same price per month, but you still have to cancel after

jovial tide
#

So that means that this whole masterchief collection is a fucking ripoff because the 5 79 rand games combined is a total of 395 rand and the odst is 42 which means that those 6 games together is 437 rand
But the whole collection is 690 rand
WHAT A FUCKING RIPOFF

#

THATS AN EXTRA 253 RAND ADDED

#

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK VALVE

brave field
#

publisher-set prices

#

hm, people are saying you can buy the individual game and run it still even though steam will complain and say you need the whole collection

#

but that doesn't sound very reliable

#

Considering there's no step by step tutorials or videos of people doing that linked every time someone says that

jovial tide
#

People are saying that you can play it alone

#

But it's still a fucking ripoff

jovial tide

brave field
#

@lilac fable You can update a board bios with a 3600 if the bios version the board comes with supports the 3600

lilac fable
brave field
#

The board will have to already support the 3600 if you want to update the BIOS using a 3600

jagged belfry
#

nevermind

#

i hate the 2070 being picky

brave field
#

support being the BIOS update

#

if you're looking to use Ryzen 5000, you can use a 3600 to update the BIOS to support 5000. If you want to use your 3600, you need to already have the board updated or will need to use a Ryzen 2000 CPU to update it first

#

A 3600 can't be used to install the update to support the 3600, because its not supported if it lacks the update.

#

man I have horrible explanation skills

#

Sorry man

#

if you post the mobo model I can see if its likely to come with the update or has an alternative update means like a BIOS flash button

lilac fable
#

i c

#

and is the 3600 paired with a 3060ti or 3080 bad

depends on your workload. For games, that's fine really, might be a bit better on your budget to go for a 10400/f if the 3600 is above $200 or so

ah, I just noticed the code I wrote in my project is obnoxiously terrible and unreadable, but it works
does it matter anyway? does a CS teacher only care if the program works or they care about code readability as well?

fervent granite
#

it really depends on what your teacher looks for, but in my experience they also cared if I could explain my code

#

but yeah I guess code legibility is important probably just as a good practise

night timber
#

I can explain my code because I am the one who wrote it, I know what everything in it does
but no one else will be able to understand it because they won't know what I am really trying to do

fervent granite
#

maybe you should work on that ig?peepoShrug

night timber
#

If I ever get a job as a programmer I am pretty sure my code will considered be a hate-crime against debuggers

crimson sentinel
#

Debug your own code

lyric glade
#

@night timber TBH If you really consider working as a programmer then you have to know one thing for sure: 99.999% of the projects is done by teams and not by single software developer. A good team will always make a code review of your work, it will be tested for bugs, and checked for accordance to the functional requirements, before your code gets approved to be introduced to the production code. This means that before your code will be read by machine, it will be read by people first. So if you wanna work in a good team and do awesome projects, it's good to learn how to make your code clean and correctly working. Clean code means that the code is readable by human in a way that it explains itself when you read it. It's hard to achieve but worth going towards it.

night timber
lyric glade
#

Ooh dude xD there are many of them

#

It's 2.30AM here lol

#

But the first thing I know for sure

night timber
#

it's 3:34 AM here and I am still working on my project

#

been coding for almost 5 hours straight, no fucking breaks

lyric glade
#

...which I could advice you...

#

... is the book "Clean Code" of Robert C. Martin

night timber
#

is it a general book or it focuses on a specific programming language?

lyric glade
#

It shows you examples in Java but the rules are mostly applicable to every single language

#

Some languages though, have some specific variants of those rules as they have for example specific syntax

#

Like PHP

night timber
#

I mean... for now I just follow the PEP8 standard and try to use clever ways to shorten my code, but I don't know if that's enough to make it readable

lyric glade
#

What's pep8 standard?

night timber
lyric glade
#

Oh ok python is a good example of specific language

#

It has a syntax based on line indentation

#

Not on brackets like Java

#

But, other rules apply perfectly in python

night timber
#

It's a standard for coding with python, when you follow the standard you separate functions with 2 spaces up and down for example

#

right now I am still learning the basics so it'd really help me out if I focus on python... and only python...

#

what do you recommend me to read that's python-related?

lyric glade
#

Dude I'm telling you that these rules apply to all languages

#

But for the school project I'd say it's more important that the code works properly and is readable enough to be explained

night timber
lyric glade
#

If you really wanna get better this book will help you

night timber
#

is there a website or AI or any such thing that can review my code and tell me if it's readable to other people or not?

#

the problem is, I AM the only one here to read my own code before I send it

lyric glade
#

That is not the problem really I believe 😉

#

Either you can speak with your teacher

night timber
#

my biggest fear is that my code may look good to me but may be unreadable to others

lyric glade
#

Oh why fear about that

night timber
#

idk

lyric glade
#

At worst, you will know what should you do better 😎

#

Which is good!

#

Teacher should be there to help you

#

If he's only expecting and not helping - IMO he should find other job

#

Otherwise, he should find some time for you and let you know what to do to make it better

night timber
#

he's here to help me yes, but it's not about that

lyric glade
#

Other thing is, teacher might not know a thing about real work in software companies

#

So don't think this is end of the world when you do something not perfect

#

It may be that your teacher tells you it's okay and a month later you will find a better solution

#

Give your code to your friends who also code

#

I bet you aren't the only one who is doing a project

#

Offer a code review to them and vice versa

night timber
#

I said it's not about that because... yes... I'll be sending the project to my teacher, but I am not learning python for him, I am learning python to improve my programming skills to land a job in the future

#

so my teacher's opinion is not exactly top priority here

lyric glade
#

That's awesome dude

night timber
#

what'd be my top priority is how readable my code is to a co-worker

lyric glade
#

Nice

#

You just answered yourself what is it that you need

#

You need a coworker!

night timber
#

how do I get a co-worker to read my code rn lol

lyric glade
#

Think about a simple project with one of your friends

#

(now - might not be possible but you shouldn't worry)

night timber
#

I am the most advanced among all my friends, and we're all bad at programming, so it won't matter here either

lyric glade
#

The book I advised you will teach you one thing at the beginning

#

Name of the variable or function MATTERS

#

it is there on purpose

night timber
#

do you understand python? I'd really like to hear your opinion about my coding

lyric glade
#

I could potentially read any code in any language- if it is clean

#

E.g. readable

night timber
#

I'll send it to you in the DM

lyric glade
#

I could look at it tomorrow

night timber
#

ah, it says it's too large

#

over 2000 characters

lyric glade
#

lol

night timber
#

I mean... c'mon... 30 lines of code would go over 2000 characters, I'll send it to you in a .txt as discord says

lyric glade
#

You can use pastebin

night timber
#

pastebin, hmm

lyric glade
#

A website where you can put some text

night timber
#

it's a basic contact book that gives you the ability to search in it (unfinished)

#

I didn't even code in the ability to store stuff on the PC in json format yet, still testing it

lyric glade
#

You don't know it yet but one of the rules of clean code is proper indentation - and in Python you are somewhat forced to do it properly

night timber
#

ye, I am following PEP8 to do it properly

lyric glade
#

I ll look on that tomorrow, I'm tired as F today lol

night timber
#

it's really simple, but ye, I understand

lyric glade
#

But first look didn't scare me 😎 👍

night timber
#

basically... I made separated everything to functions
so... when it's time to execute the code, it'll take you to a function, and that function will take you to another function, and that one will take you to another

#

and it goes on

night timber
lyric glade
#

2nd rule of clean code - the shorter the function is, the better

#

Basically, function should serve a single purpose only ideally

night timber
#

I separated them to 6 small functions instead of 3 big ones

lyric glade
#

If it does too much - should be separated

#

Ye I saw that

#

I ll help u out tomorrow

                await message.channel.send(f"Don't say that!")

I have a text file with the words "badwordx" and "sadwordx" on their own separate lines. Why does discord return a "404 not found: unknown message" when I type badwordx in a channel, but not sadwordx?

#

If I type the first line of filter.txt in a channel, there is always an unknown message error, but no error if I type the second or other lines.

gaunt granite
#

are you using more than one bad word in a single message?
for example if badwords is ['abcd', 'abc'] and you type "abcde" then python will find abcd, delete the message, then find abc and try to delete it again

brave field
#

forgot that happens

#

I added "wow" and "ow" in two different lines when I started testing it the second time, so my explanation was kinda useless without including that Facepalm

click on your profile picture at the bottom left and select do not disturb (doing this will pretty much stop notifications completely), there will still be the little 1 on the discord app but it wont play a sound or show a pop up(when you get @'d)
OR
go through notification settings on all the server you are in, most of the time they default to pretty good settings but sometimes it can cause problems

client.user becomes self.bot.user in a cog

#

I'm not sure, I've never worked with Python in my life to be honest with you. I'd recommend just looking through the documentation.

brave field
#

I should just learn the language, what is this thing that appears yellow-ish and start with @?

#

My issue really is

cyan sapphire
brave field
#

I was thinking there would be some sort of alternative to using the if message.author thing, since there's a @commands.has_role I use for commands

#

but I can't even look it up in the docs because I don't know what its called

cyan sapphire
#

I'm sending you a discord link; if that's okay? in dms.

brave field
#

feel stupid making the bot first through trial and error and learning the language after

#

yes, it is okay

#

do send

cyan sapphire
#

Sent; it's around 10k developers in there. I'm sure one will be able to assist you.

Anyone looking to get into programming with friends, I'd recommend reading this. Most projects require you to use ALLMAN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style

In computer programming, an indentation style is a convention governing the indentation of blocks of code to convey program structure. This article largely addresses the free-form languages, such as C and its descendants, but can be (and often is) applied to most other programming languages (especially those in the curly bracket family), where w...

Windows should really included a native utility to work with compressed files other than zip smh

WHY ARE MY PC FANS SO LOUD

shell aspen

cold elbow
#

Thanks and have fun with it

jovial tide
#

Second time I asked

cold elbow
#

@jovial tide we can try to help if you elaborate or provide more details

#

Otherwise throw it in the trash

jovial tide
#

It's just loud
Like a plane turbine loud

jovial tide
cold elbow
jovial tide
#

And fans costs a fortune here by me

#

Nvm they aren't that expensive

cold elbow
#

Yeah spend money to face the same problem

jovial tide
#

My pcs leds are blue

cold elbow
#

So informative

jovial tide
#

They are probably loud because my pcs components are old

cold elbow
#

First thing u need to do is installing hwinfo

#

Check your temps and fans speeds

#

After that u procced

jovial tide
#

Not opening my pc tho

cold elbow
jovial tide
#

I'm not making that mistake again

cold elbow
#

I told u to install a software

#

U know what

#

I give up

jovial tide

Lol

Seems like my special ability is to make people give up

@shell aspen I got my 3060 ti 2 months ago. Too bad it bottlenecks my ryzen 5 2400g 😦

#

feels like i’m playing on a gtx 1660 sometimes

#

not even

sudden wraith
#

Me still on an actual 1660 peepoRapperX

brave field
#

Always a bottleneck somewhere, unavoidable

#

But better hardware than software, at least making things better is in your own hands

#

Nothing like a slow app that's not bottlenecked by singlecore, multicore, GPU, ram speed or capacity, drive speeds, anything of the sort

im tryna get a 5600x

So is this the PC Master Race chat? WeirdChamp

#

(Not kidding.) I kinda wanna make plans on buying some parts to build a decent PC.

brave field
#

pcmr, ew
What's your budget (and currency and country if not US/UK) and when would you be buying?

worthy schooner
#

Not sure because I'm wondering if there'll be new hardware this year. @brave field

#

For the PC itself, maybe 1500 max. 1200 if I'm lucky with parts.

brave field
#

$1200 lets you avoid the mess that is budget GPU pricing, and lets you enter the slightly better mess that is high end GPU stock issues, congrats.
New hardware this year relevant to your budget should only be Intel 11th gen and RX 6700 or whatever competes with the 3060 ti

#

An increase in supply would be the biggest thing to happen this year if it does happen later on

worthy schooner
#

used to being the operative term

#

From what I've been told that margin kept shrinking.

brave field
#

In 2004, yeah, and again in 2019

#

for right now though, with GPU prices being so high, the 3300x not existing, the 5600x being $300, and the 3600 sometimes being out of stock, the i3 10100/f and i5 10400/f are kinda attractive

#

cheaper and similar performance for most tasks, but it really depends on how big the price gap is

#

and if the 11400/f or whatever its named is released quickly and is cheaper than the 3600, then that's also a way better option

worthy schooner
#

About that. What's the major difference between the 3600X and the 5600X?

Assuming amount of cores and MHz are the same.

#

It might be a no-brainer, I just wanna be sure.

brave field
#

The 5600x is a newer architecture, Zen3

#

Not sure on cache differences or IMC improvements, but IPC has increased, so better performance at the same ghz

#

and the newer is usually a bit more efficient power/thermals-wise as well

jovial tide
#

Is there any bot commands channel?

worthy schooner
#

Not sure if that helps with the PSU choice.

jovial tide
worthy schooner
#

Now, assuming I wanna play GTA with a bunch of graphic-enhancing Mods, or maybe even work with video-editing. Guess the minimum RAM should be 16?

brave field
#

@jovial tide Its outlined in #rules , you can type commands anywhere

jovial tide
#

Oh nice

#

Ty btw

brave field
#

yw 🙂

#

well at $1200, you should have 16GB, yeah

worthy schooner
#

1 x 16 or 2 x 8?

brave field
#

Depends on your video editing. If its likely to require 32gb and you have the money to get another 16gb stick in the very near future, the first, but you'll want 2 x 8gb otherwise

worthy schooner
#

Well 32 GB will be expensive anyway.

#

So I'll have to think ahead.

brave field
#

I'm gonna get spitroasted for this, but 4x8gb later on isn't going to blow up your PC like some may suggest

worthy schooner
#

Now what about GPUs? 3070 is obviously held hostage rn.

#

Not sure how inferior the 3060Ti is.

#

Or whether there'll even be a 3080Ti.

brave field
#

3060 ti and 3080 are the only two worth it right now imo

#

3060 ti is far too close in performance to a 3070 to be $100 less

#

And 3080 and 3090 have very little performance difference if you're mainly going to be playing games, a 3080 ti likely wouldn't make much sense unless you needed more vram

worthy schooner
#

3090 is out of range, and would probably drain my power, wouldn't it?

brave field
#

Everything will use power, the issue with the 3090 is it being $1500 MSRP and then being sold >$2000

#

The 3080 is $700 at MSRP

#

Unless your software can take advantage, its not worth it for ~10% performance gain

worthy schooner
#

Really? I saw 3070's for 700€.

#

Not sure how much exactly that is in $ but fact is, it's more.

brave field
#

well, yeah

#

MSRP is just for Founder's edition GPUs sold by their supported retailers

#

The GPUs released by AIBs do cost more typically

#

First, the Founder's is so good cooling and build quality-wise, its hard for ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and others to make decent quality coolers and still make profit

#

Then you have retailers, who also want to make their profit

#

and with demand being so high and people still gladly paying $1200 or more for a $700 product, retailers can increase price further if they want, nobody would bat an eye

worthy schooner
#

I highly doubt you can just buy from the source.

#

So I'd have to find a half-decent retailer that ships in Germany.

brave field
#

Germany.. I need to look at how the GPU market is there again. In 2018 prices seemed to be the lowest in the world

#

you'll need a retailer that both sells at MSRP and has some sort of program to give you a decent chance

#

someone like Newegg or EVGA if they have the option on their websites

worthy schooner
#

I once saw a build for less than 1K, with a 3070 and 8GB back in November I think.

#

Now they start at 1.5K.

#

Then again, wasn't sure about my balance back then.

brave field
#

Its really a terrible time, just awful

worthy schooner
#

So what you're saying, and I think I could have guessed, is wait till Fall 2021?

brave field
#

I don't see any signs of it getting better

#

Can't even estimate really

worthy schooner
#

Bad idea to ping everyone.

@worthy schooner why

worthy schooner

Rules.

sturdy axle

ok sorry my fault

brave field

It just seems to get worse every time I check. Factories being closed, CEOs dying, new COVID strands

Hopefully something good can happen by fall

rose lantern
#

ok so my pc is fricked i cant open my volume stuff or anything error code 0x8000ffff and cant open device manager either says couldnt find in roaming

brave field
#

@rose lantern Did you update windows before it started?

#

that code seems to be associated with update a lot, if you have update enabled, look for the option to roll back if you can

#

Device manager should open fine if System32 and SysWOW64 are intact. Try devmgmt.msc in cmd or powershell

#

roaming always refers to a user account folder AFAIK, data there is gone or corrupt or something of the sort

#

easiest option might be to grab the files you need and reinstall Windows, though

crimson spade
#

is malwarebytes actually good?

fervent granite
#

I’d say it’s one of the better ones out there, but you really don’t need it tbh Windows defender + common sense work just fine

brave field
#

Bit less good than it used to be, but you shouldn't use it day-to-day anyways

fervent granite
#

When I think I’ve got something I follow it up with hitman pro just to be sure

brave field

I learned not to put files in the folder above VSCode's install folder

update went bad and its all wiped
