1030 GDDR5 for $30 is nice, unless you can get a 750ti for significantly cheaper. Lose out on Pascal NVENC/NVDEC but it performs slightly better depending on what you're running

but the intel website says its 775 socket
r u getting annoyed by my ping?
sorry if so
kindred temple
Very. Anyway
Doesnt mean you can use any board, youll need a completely custom bios.
jovial tide
ohh

Very. Anyway
Im watching, i just dont need the hundreds of pings while im trying to think.
kindred temple
What board?

jovial tide
??
kindred temple
Idk, for me until i can find the actual bios file that support the CPU, i wont pull the trigger on that board.
jovial tide
ohh then i will also do that
then the gpu sellet told me he will hand me the 1030 2morrow
i bargained it to 25 bucks lol
he says he ruined his whole pc with a bad quality psu

WTM keep reccomending me ethereum when i use its calculator, are they using it as a base line or what? 
kindred temple
rn what looks viable is conceal, but theyre 25 cents per coin
so idk if theyre worthwhile
brave field
I remember seeing litecoin and monero as default in the past
Conceal, gonna research that. I'm looking to reinvest
kindred temple
Im just weighing around because i dont wanna mine whats basically is a chuck e cheese tokens
brave field
Well, its not one of the 30 coins named aeon or some variation that died within 6 months
kindred temple
brave field
At least Chuck E Cheese tokens keep their quarter value for a while
kindred temple
Yeah
So basically all sign points to me mining on CryptoNight algo.
But idk what coin to mine from there.
brave field
Sumo was one I looked into in the past. Low current price, but its been alive for a little bit and it seems its community and creators are active
Would've said Monero if they didn't move to RandomX
kindred temple
Would've said Monero if they didn't move to RandomX
Yeah, loss for me
I cant believe the next option is fucking nicehash
brave field
What do you mean, people don't have Threadrippers to mine?
kindred temple
brave field
nicehash pool ah
brave field
I have $12 in there that I'll probably never get out 
brave field
Ravencoin has been around a bit like Sumo, wouldn't expect it to just vanish instantly one day
Conflux and FIRO... need research 
Hard to get a decent understanding of a coin's stability and worthwhile-ly-ness when you're keeping up with 15 others
kindred temple
I heard good thing about profitability in conflux
but idk if its a stable platform to mine
brave field
stable is uhh
It went from 30 cents to 20 cents to 75 and then back to 50 in a 16 hour period
kindred temple
no as in like, it wont suddenly yeet itself out of existence 
brave field
I consider a 78% drop in a day a yeetion out of existence if I haven't gotten a chance to withdraw
Its probably fine
kindred temple
brave field
Its whitepaper is 61 pages long, so its automatically a good coin
Plus, they make the same three claims every other coin makes
kindred temple
Imma guess youre being massively sarcastic here
brave field
they're perfect, ideal, I might even go on twitter and talk about how this 25 cent coin is going to overtake USD, BTC, and the British Pound in a few days
kindred temple
brave field
I really love the giant twitter threads
they read like bot spam messages but the people behind them are always 100% serious
Something annoying about their site and all
IT seems Conflux's only goal is to fix issues existing cryptocurrencies have
AKA, just be another "ETH killer"
kindred temple
So probably wont exist next year
brave field
I'm seeing no scientific research claims, bank alternative in Zimbabwe claims, medical research claims
kindred temple
kindred temple
brave field
I don't usually make claims for or against most coins because I'm not deep enough to understand all of it
but the only things they mention here
are just scalability
"BTC is almost fully mined, and ETH is starting to suffer"
Yes, but everyone says that
Cardano, Nano, Monero, Ravencoin, Sumokoin
kindred temple
I mean to be fair, BTC is basically fucking dead if you wanna mine it as an average joe
better off buying them outright. If you have the moolah.
brave field
yeah
I think they should have more than "competitors suck because they aren't as scalable" on their site
and mining BTC is a meme
kindred temple
I mean thats basically a known fact, but scalability argument is the part i dont get.
why is that a good thing?
brave field
I don't understand all of it, but two issues that cause from poor scalability is processing delays and high transaction fees
Transaction fees are what's hurting ETH right now
BTC fees are dumb too and its why most centralized exchanges have their own coin to handle it
Binance pushes its users to use BNB, for example
No idea about anything else 😦

GTA scaling on SLI is terrible, you prolly going to get worse experience.
Its a heavily unoptimized game, but you dont benefit much from high framerates.
Lots of clean racing crew in vanilla and fivem requires 30/60fps lock
Physics borked at 120fps, especially story
rapid lake
Depends on what you'll use it for
@sullen hollow
That's not a 500-650 dollar
Lemme see
rapid lake
I don't think you can do much with that budget, the GPU alone is 200+
If you find it
That's what smart people do
I wouldn't know
Btw, have you got a monitor and KBM?
Welp
The best I could do is 660-700 bucks, but that's without the monitor
I bet you'll need it one day
kindred temple
Are you really gonna make this political?
Its literally just trying to get you a good value, something to last rather than "cheap".

No you're just being dramatic about it

Because those downscales arent done as a preloaded asset, but real time
jovial tide
ohh so how to turn it off?
i mean the real time scaling?
and how to load better textures
since i have a lotta vram
@kindred temple
u therE?
sorry for the ping
kindred temple
As i say
Use high settings on texture.
Everything else is safe with lower/higher details
kindred temple
Yes
kindred temple
Very high have its own dedicated textures as well, but why would you do that considering the gain is so minimum?
kindred temple
but i was using high textures all the time
Good.
But one you need to go lowest is the grass one, i forgot which one was it
jovial tide
to get MAX fps
kindred temple
Then all lowest except texture.
jovial tide
yeah im curious now
how much fps i get
why does gta crash with err d3d init when i use discord with gta
kindred temple
If you race competitively, turn anisotropic filtering to 16, its literally just 1fps penalty for massive gain in visibility to elevation changes

Forza horizon recommends a i7-3820 or better. But like does an i5-10600 make up for that difference?
Even i3s are in the 10.000s
I'm not into this so
brave field
an i5 10600 is much better than an i7 3820
The 3820 is from 2012, with lower IPC, clock speed, core/thread count, CPU cache, and its performance is worse than the 10600 in probably all but TSX-Ni-accelerated workloads
I don't think there's ANYTHING relevant your 10600 isn't significantly better at@unreal iron
unreal iron
So I could drop to an i3 10000+ and still be fine, and shave the extra money off
Because the big kicker for forza games is the graphics card
brave field
10100 is still better than the i7 3820, yes
You going for a <$700 system? A 10400/f should fit somewhere if not
unreal iron
I'm looking at graphics card and nvidia gtx 1060s chipsets are...$500?

1060s are both out of production and almost two generations behind. They're going to be near-impossible to find in new condition

Oh
Forza is far more demanding than world of tanks or warships so
The other rpart is I plan to use it for music so it needs to be quiet

mITX, ouch
unreal iron
I could bump to mini atx
But pricing
I'm trying to keep in mind that I move a lot
And weight is everything
unreal iron
I moved twice with a full atx
That shit suucked
And now that I have a smaller car that's not gonna happen again
Not so much weight but space
Sorry
I just can't have a mid or full again
It's not like I'm needing big new hardware, forza is all it needs to hanle
So I can get away with some of the older stuff in it
brave field
mITX is often really expensive
For your space thing, its really the case that matters most
unreal iron
If I give you the pc part picker list name can you bring it up?
I feel like I'm fumbling around
brave field
yeah, post it
unreal iron
I need the solid state for music storage and noise
I picked the that specific case to force compatibility checks for the graphics cards and power supplies
I'm Not in love with it specifically but silver would be my choice for it, with at least 2 front facing usbs
For mkb
brave field
This is a mATX case, so an mITX board doesn't do anything for size while increasing the money you spend
I have a question about your storage. Do you need a full 2TB, and ALL as an SSD? Hard drives don't really make much noise when not in heavier use, which could still make one a good option for mass storage/everything not super important
and if the music isn't studio/production quality, it also wouldn't cause enough load for a hard drive to make noise usually
unreal iron
It was more so I'm not fiddling with other storage. I have some kind of SSD in a current computer but that's like 128gig and windows takes up most of it
brave field
What are your thoughts on this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vFKR8J
lower price, the board is mATX but the case is large and fits either anyways, the ram is a tiiiiny bit slower but has around double the bandwidth as 2x8gb, and you get more storage
unreal iron
I'm not opposed to swapping with an HDD
brave field
An SSD is almost a requirement for a decent experience if you use Windows, its worth having at least one. Most things don't take advantage of it though, which is why one AND a hard drive is usually the best way to get lots of storage without paying $200+
You really have to know if that noise is too much for you, though. Everything that moves makes sound, and while hard drives are very, very quiet, any bit of poor mounting will make it noticeable in a completely silent room
Do you need things SILENT?
unreal iron
I'd like it as quiet as possible, my current Alienware has this incredibly loud spin-up on its old fan when I turn it on
She's an old girl that needs to be retired
brave field
If you won't be using it in the future, you should be able to carry over the storage and save a bit of money there. GPU might be good as well, just to use until this pandemic is affecting production less
unreal iron
Almost everything in it is proprietary except for that hard drive
The SSD in it is a replacement
So when she goes I'll be yanking that out
Andromeda x51 like first gen
$548.30? That's the one you put together
brave field
ah, first gen. GPU isn't worth it then, you really CAN only grab that SSD and the other drives in it
yes
unreal iron
I think I've replaced the graphics card but I'd have to check
I doubt it's anything special
Yeah I think I did
It's a
Idk
Radeon
brave field
If you're able to turn it on, do check the GPU in task manager or HWiNFO or the like. If its something like an RX 580, that's definitely fine for Forza if you're palying at 1080p or so
the PCPP list I made is the $543 one, yes. If any change is confusing, don't hesitate to ask why. Its not complete but I saw opportunities to save cash in there while getting around the same performance
unreal iron
This computer doesn't run Forza at all
The old full ATX ran it with stutter
This thing runs tanks on bottom graphics lmao
I get like 15-30 fps
brave field
wow
unreal iron
Oh and if there's too much foliage between me and a target? Stutter
It bottoms to like 5
Brb dead guy duty
brave field
Could be one component holding back the others, or it could all be lacking
or it could be the typical Alienware overheating problems and the parts are slowing down to cool themselves
That sounds painful
brave field
What about that Radeon GPU you added in afterwards, is it more recent, 2016 or later maybe?
Even 2013's R9 290X should be okay for those games with a CPU from this decade

Do you get the ad money or do you need to be a massive channel to get it?
kindred temple
depends on the system in place. For youtube you need to have monetization enabled, twitch you need to be an affiliate/partner, and for facebook and dlive idk yet because i havent used it but i think they do have similar system in mind
crimson sentinel
Okay I wonder what odysee will do. They are bringing live streaming in soon.
There's no ads so it's going to be interesting
unreal iron
Even 2013's R9 290X should be okay for those games with a CPU from this decade
I'm pretty sure it was like $100
There's no way it's worth anything now
brave field
I guess $100 pre-2015 fits, yeah
unreal iron
It's a square and fits in a micro
brave field
well, are you okay with everything in the $540 one? Its still missing components, it was just an edit to the one you provided
brave field
Don't know of any Radeon GPUs with 670 in it, maybe a 6xxx
If its a GTX 670, though, you could probably get $80 for it today on ebay with how bad the low-end market is right now
unreal iron
It wasn't anything special just picked it up to replaced the stock card
brave field
ah
Well just in case... $60
Anyways, your new one
What GPU are you looking for? 1060-range, like earlier?
unreal iron
It just needs to be better than the gtx 1060 3gb to run horizon 4.
Like I don't see myself even playing it that often
That's why storage space and noise were bigger concern
If it will shave over $100 or more off, and can run world of tanks just fine, I'll do that
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-7400 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500 X.
Memory (RAM): 8 GB (or more).
Video Card: GeForce GTX 1050ti (4 GB) / Radeon RX 570 (4 GB).
Hard Disk: ~ 83 GB free space.
If horizon to that saves me $100, I don't need horizon lol
I haven't had horizon in over a year but friends keep sucking me back to tanks
So
brave field
Here's the first edit + $200 reserved for a GPU then https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tZDFht Note you still need a power supply .
The 1660 Super for $200 is a bit difficult to find, but they sometimes come back in stock at that price. Really, this $200 goes to any of used RX 580, used RX 570, used GTX 1060 6GB, anything from 1650 Super to 1660ti, and maybe a GTX 1070 if you're lucky. Sad its like this, you could get a 580 or 570 for under $100 a while ago
It seems Forza's requirements are basically an Xbox one X with a better CPU, really sad that's $700 now instead of $450
unreal iron
Wait are you saying that tanks is more demanding
brave field
no, nono
brave field
There's a GPU in that link
unreal iron
There wasn't in the other one?
brave field
nope
kindred temple
Don't know of any Radeon GPUs with 670 in it, maybe a 6xxx
If its a GTX 670, tho...
6770?
unreal iron
It'll run tanks well just with shit graphics
kindred temple
brave field
Everything about the current market is stupid. This should not be anywhere close to $700.
If you use the old GPU, things should work, yes. Not super well, your CPU will practically be asleep while your GPU is sweating, but it'll work if you wave the money
unreal iron
So would it almost be better to buy a prefab?
I know they've got their issues but wouldn't that cut around the pricing issues?
kindred temple
I mean honestly rn, their profit margin is low enough that i can find prebuilts with near msrp parts for days
brave field
The silicon shortage is global and affects much more than PCs.
There are a few prebuilts that are good deals rn though
kindred temple
the sketch-out part of prebuilts are PSU

You like your $50 KV-5 will congratulations you can buy it on all four platforms individually
Oh AND
It has its own client
But you can also get it on steam
brave field
even worse not being able to transfer progression when these sort of games usually force you to make a separate account with them
unreal iron
And those aren't linked either
So
I think they're going to eventually link those but IDK
Yeah they have their own separate balancing for gameplay
Like mobile is 7 versus 7 but PC is 15 versus 15

I can use reddit, are you suggesting look for pats used?
I bookmarked the first list
unreal iron
So it came in at $548 What should that cost
brave field
The cheapest reasonable GPU you can get in brand new condition is $330, but for used, if you can haggle or dealhunt efficiently you can get a 1060-equivalent at its 2019 price of $100 or so

I can keep the old one, or will it damage itself with work

The old is fine if you don't mind turning down resolution
kindred temple
The cheapest reasonable GPU you can get in brand new condition is $330, but for ...
so RX470?
unreal iron
If it begins running smoothly I'm ok with that
Or is the stutter with foliage still on the card
brave field
Well you have to turn on the old system and do a bit of profiling to find out which component is performing the worst. You say 2008 though, which smells like Core2Duo to me, and those perform poorly even for light games now. Though, with foliage relying on transparency, that could be the GPU too
won't hurt using the old GPU and finding out, and then buying the new one if it is the issue

Amazon Warehouse <:Pepega:720264334478934037>
aka your product is that random piece of junk we forgot about in the bin

So what would be the policy for that then
Screenshot our parts list and don't bid more than 75% of that list price for anything on that list other than the case?
brave field
not really going to find mobos or LGA1200 CPUs used on ebay and used storage is questionable
just for the GPU...
unreal iron
Ok
brave field
that list of GPUs I said earlier, scan through ebay for pretty much any of them and hope to come across one <$200 listed as buy it now in working condition or find an auction with under 10 minutes left from when you plan to buy the GPU
just so... sad
people are just too desperate
if you want to try sticking with the old GPU first, then you're fine not spending time on ebay. The $540 or so PCPP is usable, I guess. Also, you can change that case if you want, PCPP's measuring system sucks anyways. You can pick a smaller one and go back to the mITX motherboard, even, and should still be under the original price by a little bit.

Holy s*** you can buy a car on eBay now

And idk with the safety of it, but the fact that youre basically forced to make deposits to make your listing credible there

The form factor and connector you use doesn't matter, the internal adapter itself does

all terrible cards and I doubt any of them could ever be as bad as virtualbox's GPU emulation
unreal iron
@brave field I'm looking through the list and there's no power supply in the first one,
Is there something special with power supplies
brave field
yes, the world sucks, Japanese caps are more expensive now, Corsair PSUs all went up $30 a year ago, and the US has a nice 25% tax on everything from China
The cheapest PSU with all relevant protections is $51 and from a company most people don't even recognize, but its a good unit still, and worth the money when you look at the alternatives: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q2K2FT/segotep-gp-600-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-600w-non-modular

So buy one from a local PC shop
brave field
Go for the Segotep in the link unless the local shop has CX Gray label, Masterwatt (non-lite), Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, EVGA GQ/G2, or Pure Power 11 at a similar price or less
550W or 600W will do, they're much more than you need but 450W is usually only $3-8 less, and in the event of a 3070 magically landing in your lap, you'll be covered

does anyone here know a lot about audio stuff.
frigid echo
@unreal iron I do
unreal iron
I'm looking at schiit
frigid echo
Yoooo
unreal iron
I want either magni/modi OR like asgard
But this is my first foray and idk how different those are
I'll have to upgrade to the dac option in the asgard and that's fine
frigid echo
All good, at least you are looking at a good brand
unreal iron
But it's $100 over the magni/modi
But I'm also not like really familiar with what I'm doing
I have some sets of headphones, but none of them NEED an amp
I think the highest I currently own are like 32 ohms and my laptop does that just fine
frigid echo
What are you looking to use?
unreal iron
I have no idea
frigid echo
Headphones wise
unreal iron
I have a set of Grados for high tops and hyper x for bassy music
frigid echo
Grados 
I can point you at way better if you love bass
Dt-770 beyerdynamic
Make them align, you have the psu not lined up
unreal iron
I figured since all I have is a laptop and mp3s I have ripped from youtube acquired over the years I should bring that all up to par first
frigid echo
So Exusia I would just get a schiit stack at most for your situation. You have nothing worthy of an Asgard yet. You really need nice headphones to get anything out of them
unreal iron
Do I need sys/loki for what I have or no?
I hear asgard's get hot that's why I wanted to ask between the rwo
frigid echo
But dont think less of the modi or magni. That's a real solid set
An asgard is for like 500$+ headphones
frigid echo
I hear ya
unreal iron
Best I'll do is like some Senn HD 650 when I get around to it
frigid echo
I'd just get the HD 58X from massdrop or HD6XX
I have AKG K7XX headphones and Fostex T50RP mk3's
The fostex are planar magnetic headphones
unreal iron
I hear those are super inefficient aren't they?
Like power wise
They suck a lot of power to use
frigid echo
Doesn't matter they sound absolutely amazing
unreal iron
Lmao
unreal iron
Those look noice
frigid echo
Making beautiful sound doesn't care about efficiency. It's not a computer. It only means that yes it needs a strong amp. And you'll have a strong amp.
frigid echo
I love my AKG and fostex. My AKG sounds amazing on my tube amp
Heck I use JBL LSR305'S as PC speakers
My desk with my speakers and tube amp and headphones
I got those nice pairs of Russian Voshkod power and preamp tubes
My SMSL M6 headphone dac amp is hidden
Make sure if you connected the CPU power connector as well if your CPU requires it. It's a 4 or 8 pin plug
unreal iron
I was gonna ask about tube amps I shouldn't mess with those yet right
Like I move a lot
frigid echo
That and you dont have an headphones that would love a tube amp
Also tubes drive the power bill a lot

That little dot mk2 pushes like 400 watts or volts I forget which

@frigid echo akg 240 studios at a shop for $70 yea nay?
55 ohms I can't run these lmao
frigid echo
soo funny enough, those were my first pair of real headphones. Now they are good but, comfort is to be desired, those ear pads are pretty dang stiff. As for sound, the mids and highs are fine but, it's lacking in bass. They are one of the most common used studio monitoring headphones. And you can run them, they are not that hard to run. Don't even look at ohms as a factor until you see yourself looking at 150 Ohms and up.
unreal iron
Wow that high?
frigid echo
ya you just don't understand how ohms work. and some headphones the ohms don't matter and they have naturally high impedance. For example my K7XX's are 64 ohms. But because of the way they were designed and how they react to power. They can use a lot of power to make themselves sound better. If you just see ohms you just may have to turn up your volume more that is all. But that is why you get an amp to eliminate that factor.
oh my little dot mk2 tube amp. Which is headphone amp power city, I had to turn it on high gain and I still turn the volume knob over 50% up to enjoy them because they suck up the power wonderfully.
unreal iron
I'm more concerned because it's not like those schiit come overnight lol
frigid echo
that's why you got those grados and Hyper X's
also a fun fact the average pair of headphones are between 32 - 45 ohms, even if they are bad cheapo's. IEM's / Ear buds usually are 18 ohms.
so the average headphone output on laptops and PC's easily support 32 ohm to 150 ohm range headphones
unreal iron
I have some "akg" iems
frigid echo
some can push 600 ohms with special hardware built in.
unreal iron
Because it's samsung now lmao
frigid echo
ya lol
unreal iron
That's why I wanted to ask for sure about those 250s
240s
Or if I should hold off since I have 2 proper options
frigid echo
I wouldn't bother with 240's honestly unless you want to toss money out there. You would be better suited to pick up a pair of Phillips SHP 9500's or SHP 9600's
as a bonus to those, you can turn them into a gaming headset with a V moda Boom Pro for 30$
But then I wouldn't look at a schiit stack but the Schiit --- just a sec
ya the Schiit Hel
the Fulla is good to. The big thing is they both support mic input
frigid echo
Man those are pretty much K240's
unreal iron
And then the akg buds that probably came with a phone, my google buds that came with my pixel and a pair of Soundcore Air 2 Pros for wireless bass, and jabra 65t something's for mids/highs
unreal iron
Man those are pretty much K240's
I mean I thought so but I'm new at this mang
I've had some good recommendations but thats it
frigid echo
man you just dumping money everywhere
unreal iron
Lol not really
The earbuds were all free
The jabras were a gift to a family member who didn't want them
I bought the air 2s
The hyper x I've had for 3 years I bought for gaming, I just kind of picked up music and found they were good for that, it was happenstance
frigid echo
funny story about Hyper X's
unreal iron
The grados and superlux were the first REAL purchase for this
frigid echo
they are based on a pair of Tascam Headphones which was a good pair of headphones. So they basically approached them and made a decent gaming headset.
unreal iron
My car audio is out and the jabras weren't cutting it so I got the airs lmao
Ahhh so that's why they're built well
I find stuff marked as "gaming" was always built for something else if it's of quality, and if it really was built "for gaming" it's actually shit
fervent granite
okay how the fuck is windows surviving rm rf

Pitfalls to convince newbies that "this is the essence of quality" but it's just garbage. Like SCUF

but ya, I wonder where the Hyper X design came from 😛
sadly Hyper X was just bought by HP so... hoping they don't drown in HP
unreal iron
Yeah they even slide out
Oh and sony uhhh mdr-xb950B1?
Idk I've had them for like 6 years
I just looked at the headband for the first time in years for that number lol
frigid echo
if you are gonna look at going any further in headphones. Cheap SHP 9500 / SHP 9600's or step up a little more to Phillips X2HR, or jump right up and grab something over the 200$ area like HD6XX's or K7XX's. Unless you want to jump into power hungry planar's like Hifiman HE-4XX's or HE-400 (2020 version, these honestly if you can spend that much on them. )
unreal iron
I don't really like spending more than $150 on any one thing. It's just hard to have more than that on hand

Is a SATA SSD really necessary or can u just use an M.2 nvme ssd by itself
kindred temple
nope, m.2 nvme is okay on its own.
But unless you dont need the extra storage of a SATA SSD+HDD combo, dont spring for nvme just because "its faster"
Because unless your work needs a high random IOPS performance like high-resolution video editing
you wont benefit from it at all.

rapid lake
Yeah there is no way I'm saving up for a 3060
kindred temple
Exactly my issue with some "saving up" argument.
Some are logical like going for 1660 super instead of just base 1660
But something like 1050 (which mind you MSRP at 109$) and ask you to just get 3060 (329$ MSRP) is asinine
brave field
@kindred temple very interesting
but I wouldn't go for the Titan really
just get 3060 ti FE at MSRP

Fair enough
my argument for them is the fact that i found a lot of XPP for like 400-500 range rn.
idk if theyre a scam or not
