this card can beat any other card

good deals, wished the GPU was way better but its what malaysia's PC scene looks like.

#

theyre the enforcer of the "Core i7 with GT series card" stereotype.

#

kindred temple good deals, wished the GPU was way better but its what malaysia's PC scene looks...

went to a good internet cafe before and damn

#

do i wish i had that pc

#

that pc could run doom on max settingss

kindred temple Feb 25, 2021, 12:09 PM

#

Most internet cafes especially geforce sponsored ones usually have mid end GPU at best.

#

But doom is mad optimized

#

i can run maxxed out at 145fps on my rig

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

i ran mine on low

#

with 40 fps when fighting and 90 fps when exploring

#

pretty fun

#

and surprising

#

i thought i would only get 20 fps :v

kindred temple Feb 25, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

ionic thistle with 40 fps when fighting and 90 fps when exploring

And thats with a card thats nowadays the equivalent to a notebook GPU.

#

its just that impressive.

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

looked up the price for the 2060 and fuck is it expensive

kindred temple Feb 25, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

Anyway, with country at hand

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

like 2k bucks here

kindred temple Feb 25, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

i do think you can at best get 1660 or 1650 super.

#

Which would still be good buy imo.

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

alr

#

i'll get that

kindred temple Feb 25, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

But again, consider used. I dont know about malaysia's used scene that well.

#

Im Indonesian.

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

hmmmm
almost the same price online

ionic thistle Feb 25, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

kindred temple Im Indonesian.

noice

#

damn i looked up the prices

#

i'm really thinking of selling my gunplas at this point

brave field Feb 25, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

All the people on reddit and bapo who swore stock issues are solely the cause of mining and that the driver change would mean the 3060 is always in stock are mad right now

#

Surely its not actually possible being in a pandemic could have an effect on production and demand? /s

brave field Feb 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

3060 looks really... bad for the price

#

Its performance lines up with Nvidia slides from a month ago. $70 difference between a 3060 and a 3060ti, but the 3060 ti trades with a 2080S while the 3060 trades with a 2060S

@jovial tide if you're doing gaming the 3500x/ 10400f are perfect for it
skip the 1600af
2600 if u do rendering or whatever needs a lot of threads

#

i would still recommend the 3500x instead of 10400f is u would like to upgrade in the future

RTX 30 series is easy to get for MSRP compared to RX 6xxx or Ryzen 5xxx, but 5600X MSRP is too high already

A 10400/f is half the price and isn't even 15% slower

Oh, quick question. What's the best way to select a file in the OS for manipulation in a python program? I've created a basic pdf merger and a basic video cutter, but having to drag the program in the same folder as the files and type in the name of the file is a bit cumbersome.

#

I didn't specifically code the merger and cutter, I merely utilized some libraries.

I was thinking more of using the OS file selector to select the file and make each variable the file path.

arctic yarrow Feb 28, 2021, 4:08 AM

My program works, but it's cumbersome to type each file name or file path.

brave field Feb 28, 2021, 4:10 AM

If you have tkinter anywhere in your project, you can call it through this:


L = filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir="/", title="Select a video file")

#

oops

arctic yarrow Feb 28, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

So I was thinking of finding some way to use file selector to select the file path, then export the output file into a specified folder

#

No wait, that might work for my video cutting program.

brave field Feb 28, 2021, 11:33 PM

#

If you're not using your panel's native resolution, you should use GPU scaling

#

Letting your display do the scaling causes those sorts of issues sometimes

fervent granite Feb 28, 2021, 11:33 PM

#

I let windows do the scaling if that changes anything peepoShrug

#

I think it's set to 200% last time I checked

brave field Feb 28, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

Windows 7-10 scales the apps and text with that option, but your GPU's control panel app/driver is in charge of determining if the GPU or the display is the one making things fit well

#

optionally, integer scaling may or may not help with text some, even though the settings are designed specifically for running resolutions that your monitor doesn't target

Your hardware might freak out a bit but nothing a vm can handle

brave field Feb 28, 2021, 11:44 PM

Everything else has passed it up, yeah

#

I can use it in a VM but web browsers hate running on it sometimes (please, cut it out with the security and certificate warnings), the OS is vulnerable now, some things like audio settings DO feel more annoying to use, and most importantly, the servers for Internet Checkers and Internet Backgammon are down for good

probably sounds dumb, but I'm hoping there's some sort of hacky, but lightweight workaround to do it through WSL2 in the future

nested virtualisation?

brave field Feb 28, 2021, 11:57 PM

I guess it would be since WSL2 uses virtualization where WSL1 didn't

no idea how user permissions or getting Windows and the distro in WSL to communicate work, or any of that

fervent granite Mar 1, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

same actually, I just don't have a reason to use wsl especially when I've got actual distros at my disposal

brave field Mar 1, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

really seems more a solution for someone who could use either Windows or their favorite distro any day, but come across that one app that only works well on one or the other

#

or you know

#

github repo for an app that only runs on Windows but only builds on Linux, and has no actual compiled releases on the page

Its less storage-heavy and time-consuming than setting up and configuring a whole VM, though, which is probably what its used mroe the most

Idk about a remote, but the controllers are having lots of issues. Put a ticket in with Sony maybe they can tell you why your remote has stopped working

Might be related to their controller issues

#

@distant jasper you mentioned elsewhere that sony did not help, this is a hardware issue, not a gta issue. You may have to find a different remote. Universal ones work pretty good

#

In place of that maybe the controller will work over the remote. But those have been having a lot of issues too. Might find a tutorial on youtube for your specific issue. I'm not tech savvy

status.raw = {'players': [{'sample: 'xd'}, {'sample: 'xd'}]}

#

im just going of my simple knowledge tbh because idk that well how list comprehension works

brave field Mar 1, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

So if I wanted to get "1.16.3" from status.raw, ver = [version['name'] for version in status.raw['version']] would not work? I get a typeerror so I don't really know if the issue is with it being typed wrong or if I need to convert something

are you using https://api.mcsrvstat.us/
?

strong saffron Mar 1, 2021, 5:43 PM

The list part is the same as:

for user in status.raw['players']['sample']:
  usersConnected.append(user['name'])```

oh wow this is cool

polar girder Mar 1, 2021, 5:44 PM

if you are using the link i sent above, you would just need to do json_object['version'] no for loop required

brave field Mar 1, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

I'm using Dinnerbone's, here: https://github.com/Dinnerbone/mcstatus

where json_object is the actual name of your variable

one sec lemme install that lol

maybe I should move to the one you link, and learn basics of json stuff 👀

polar girder Mar 1, 2021, 5:49 PM

s.version.name works very well

#

s.description doesn't work with .text at the end 🤔

#

is .name something the creator defined or is that from the s.raw?

#

Using either for description leads to an error saying there isn't an attribute for that, and using just s.description outputs {'text': 'Welcome'} rather than just the 'welcome' part

smoky shoal Mar 1, 2021, 5:57 PM

that's a dict you can get the text key by subscripting s.description['text']

Mining has been profitable every say since March 2014, and that's not likely to change

but 2019 has just started some nonsense

COVID, then mass suicide threats at some fabs, GoFlo not doing 12nm or 7nm, US vs China production war, NAND price increase, MOSFET price increase, silicon shortage, fiberglass shortage

The only ANYTHING that uses semiconductors that can actually stay in decent stock is iphones and Intel's network adapters and CPUs

Large mining farms are likely going to move to CMP just like they did with Pascal P10X while smaller hobbyist ones will continue to use bots more than likely, since GPUs hold their value a bit better and are easier to integrate into mining setups they already have. The ebay average for a 2060S seems to be high 600s/low 700s after this past week though. People have really lost it, but more money for you kek @jovial tide

Still can't control power limit or lessen core voltages, still can't integrate it into your existing mining setup, still can't get an actual support hotline (what mining farms care about) or resell (what hobbyists care about)
Its conceptually interesting but nothing big will come out of it

Couple of things you can do. Ensure the vents for the fan are clean, dust can make the fan work harder and hotter. Other is making sure there is enough space to allow fresh air into the vent.

jovial tide Mar 2, 2021, 7:43 AM

Something to know about windows. Something that can occur is being on for so long even if you use sleep mode or just close it. Can make the CPU go nutty unsure of what it should be doing and start dumping itself into using more CPU than it needs. Signs of this is performance is chugging too.

jovial tide Mar 2, 2021, 7:49 AM

Yea I've noticed that a lot

My mom keeps playing music on it for like 7:30 am to around about 8 pm

there was a bug in start up that can even show up. Called the fast boot bug. That even if you tell the Computer to turn off it actually enters a hibernation / sleep mode instead. I had it happen to me was so weird. And your mom needs to just invest in a bluetooth speaker or a stereo system...

ok so looking at my sources here. Windows Defender thinks something is fishy going on and actively working. What you want to do is reboot the laptop and see if it happens again. If it does happen again you have a virus running around. OR worse if you do go with like Avast or such to rid yourself of a virus. And it still occurs than the windows install on that laptop is going to need to be reinstalled

Will the reboot erase everything on the laptop?

Even if I change the bios to accept an 8700k, it's not worth the trouble.

Besides, I can play pretty much any title at high FPS for a while right now, so I'll wait for a couple years then build another PC.

i mean why not get a free upgrade lol

and if you play above 1080p the difference is small

jovial tide Mar 2, 2021, 9:51 PM

online puts a heavier load on the cpu

#

so most of the time you will be cpu bottlenecked

brave field Mar 2, 2021, 9:52 PM

right

#

but is it draw calls or actual ingame function that's the biggest issue?

jovial tide Mar 2, 2021, 9:53 PM

#

i think its that in an online session you have to have every single player rendered in i think

#

and because of that the more players will decrease the fps

especially on the weak ass jaguar cores of the last gen consoles

brave field Mar 2, 2021, 10:02 PM

#

7700k and 2070 work together fine usually

#

I think cold war specifically is just really good at spreading across multiple threads

#

If you're having issues from your GPU idling when you play, try raising settings some

#

For your upgrade question, maybe wait for Rocket Lake-S

fallow forge Mar 2, 2021, 10:04 PM

brave field Mar 2, 2021, 10:04 PM

#

If you're not playing at 1080p or 720p, your GPU usage should be higher than 5% at max settings

#

7700k should hold things back THAT much, its still a very good CPU for games
