[brave field]

works if you plan to never use the alienware until you have a new SSD for it

[kindred temple]

It is, much like other OCZ product

Theyre like maserati of storage

[arctic yarrow]

Well actually, what's installed is literally a media converter for the ftth to ethernet conversion, then you plug your own router in.

[unreal iron]

The what

[kindred temple]

They go fast, but theyll break on you hard

[unreal iron]

Oh lol

So on that ssd because it's so small

I have Windows 10, world of tanks and world of warships, and like some antipiracy tbing

Because that's all that fits

[brave field]

oh right, that's the 128gb one

[arctic yarrow]

I wouldn't install windows on a drive smaller than 240gb, but that's just my preference.

[brave field]

yeah buy the new SSD

128gb is near unusable

[kindred temple]

Its usable for a boot drive and a SINGLE esports title.

Not even AAA, just an esports title.

[unreal iron]

Well

Tanks is all I need it to play so

[brave field]

boot drive if none of your programs ever access your user directory or force themselves to put any files on C:\

[unreal iron]

I'd like to play forza again but that's more of a convenience

Not a necessity

[arctic yarrow]

I have 3 X 1TB ssds and a 6tb hdd.

total of 9tb in my primary pc.

[kindred temple]

While we talk about storage

https://youtu.be/6nXaF46xtVU i wish this take off.

But samsung gotta go

"haha cheap 3D nand go brrr"

[unreal iron]

Are ssd prices currently inflated too?

I can wait for it to drop

[kindred temple]

Kinda

[brave field]

inflated a wee bit

[unreal iron]

Ok so no lol

Are any of these other parts inflated other than powerplant?

[brave field]

Its more they've stopped going down, which is still sad

no more "Wait a week, it'll be 80c cheaper"

DRAMless 1TB was so close to being $55

[brave field]

these drive names are not spicy enough

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, what do you suggest my drive names be?

[unreal iron]

I don't understand.

V M?

[brave field]

VMs drive, yesyes

[arctic yarrow]

How about "HoneyPot V (M:)"?

[brave field]

Why "New volume," "My SSD," or "Drive" when you can have "{generic roman/greek mythology name}" a poor attempt at humor, or "DISK 0"

[arctic yarrow]

Oh I know, I could rename my 6tb drive to "PORN".

[unreal iron]

Are greek/roman god names generic?

Are they that common?

[brave field]

Extremely

Discord bots, people who name their PC builds, drives, websites

can't escape them

[kindred temple]

I remember naming my boot drive "Tungsten Rod"

Basically Orbital Cannon reference.

[unreal iron]

Lol

[fervent granite]

For some reason I used to be somewhat picky that my boot drive be unnamed

This was before I tech-savvy, so I thought having the disk called "local disk" was rare as it didn't have a label in explorer

That said I think the best name for a volume should be "con"

[brave field]

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

You also have nul, prn, com1-com9, and lpt1-lpt9

:, or anything starting with a period on macOS

and naming a folder and two subfolders with a symbolic link "/" on anything

[fervent granite]

You'll make windows freak out if you make 2 folders called ">" and "<", respectively

[arctic yarrow]

Imma try that out

[fervent granite]

[kindred temple]

God bless MS Dos era bug.

[fervent granite]

Not even wsl will obey you, so it can only be done from another os

[arctic yarrow]

oh

so I gotta boot up linux or something, then transfer it to windows from there

[fervent granite]

well no just boot up a live usb and access the windows drive

except for a few exceptions, linux doesn't really care what you name folders

[jovial tide]

i finally completed my sister/s pc

and its kinda slow

it will be enough for her ig

367 cinebench r15 score

and a gt 1030

which is surprisingly good

should i add a cheap sata ssd

[kindred temple]

Anything scoring above 500 is like S tier really

[jovial tide]

but its like

200 less than that

is it bad tho?

[kindred temple]

Yes, obviously.

Nope, iirc an i7-3770k also score at 360-400 range.

But really

Cinebench score is like the horsepower chart in cars.

[jovial tide]

so its good for a c2q?

[jovial tide]

yeah kinda

[kindred temple]

Yeah sure, cool and all but you wont benefit in it irl.

[jovial tide]

they mess things up with new versions

[kindred temple]

Pretty good

[jovial tide]

ohh why is that?

[kindred temple]

Except some tasks, a lot of tasks are either GPU accelerated or single/dual threaded.

Thats why Intel really bank on being able to boost the everliving fuck out of 1-2 cores

To mask their all core weaknesses in some tasks.

[jovial tide]

ohh

so intel is still a great choice

[kindred temple]

Meh, it depends.

[jovial tide]

ohh

okay \

[balmy kiln]

be me
Spend an hour searching for a screw I lost while installing M2s
Bitch is about the size of a molecule and I fat fingered it off the bed, can't find it
Swearing the whole time, on the verge of a rage-induced breakdown because this was a ten minute job max
"..Fuckin sell my soul to Satan when I find this fuckin screw"
Find the screw not but two seconds later
Feel a random cold chill down my spine

What the fuck

M2s are installed, can't wait to see the pretty lights

[upbeat spade]

say hi to satan for me

[kindred temple]

Yeah, M.2 standoffs belongs in hell

[inland token]

are v1 tech backplates compatible with newer rgb software like polychrome sync and rgb fusion 2.0

[kindred temple]

According to their site, yes. For an extra 20$. @inland token

[inland token]

@kindred temple thats for the corsair icue and gigabyte fusion vdg cable, it only shows asrock rgb led and gigabyte rgb fusion ready 1.0 pics

[kindred temple]

Ah i see

[jovial tide]

best buys cancellation system fucking sucks

cant cancel these ml120s til i can get on phone with bb rep

[jovial tide]

upgrading my aio to a 280 🙂

[brave field]

ooh, what are you cooling?

[jovial tide]

10700k

ive been here before i was just unbanned lol

[cold elbow]

Yes u cant

[kindred temple]

Imma guess you bought it pre zen 3 release?

[jovial tide]

Yes

i was in this server before i just finally got unbanned

[kindred temple]

Yeah, the thing slapped in single core compared to zen 2

[jovial tide]

lol

[kindred temple]

Then zen 3 arrived and it got shat on hard

[jovial tide]

Its fine tbh

[kindred temple]

Looks good

I mean imo

10th gen isnt that bad compared to rocket lake

That thing thermal output scared me.

[jovial tide]

Im getting a new aio and using the old aio fans as bottom intakr

[kindred temple]

Nice

[jovial tide]

Giving old aio to probably a friend

Without the fans

[kindred temple]

Make sure to give him some static pressure optimized fan if he doesnt have it yet

[jovial tide]

yeah

Also bought a single sleeved 24 pin cable since all the other ones are hidden anyway lol

[brave field]

What, if any, are good reasons to use MongoDB, SQLite, or MySQL over PostgreSQL?

[spring condor]

MongoDB is nosql, so it's much faster than all the SQL rdbms

But I myself use post anyways, so

[brave field]

Do people actually use it? I need to scrape up some internship or minimum-wage job and have 2 weeks to learn

I mean uh, small business

that's a terrible question

I mean, will spending time learning it be "wasted?"

[spring condor]

Mongo and postgres are being used quite a lot

The other 2, questionable

[brave field]

Ah

you have a recommendation out of those two? I got the absolute very very basics of Postgres

hesitant on Mongo because it seems to either require an account or I'm stupid

[spring condor]

Cover postgres first. It's very similar to all the SQL database systems so you'll cover a wide area

[brave field]

thanks friend

[ember hawk]

can anyone here help me learn c++ i know nothing ab it

[spring condor]

Is that for school or you just want to learn?

[ember hawk]

i’m 14 so i just wanna learn

[spring condor]

If you just want to learn, I highly recommend starting off with python

[ember hawk]

i know python

and batch

batch is easy tho

so ye

lester congratulated me 🙂

[spring condor]

If you know python, you could start learning JavaScript

[ember hawk]

currently learning that

i’m moderate

[spring condor]

Html js or node?

[ember hawk]

html

node would be cool tho

https://tenor.com/view/pusheen-lazy-cant-move-laziness-gif-5265374

[spring condor]

Then cover js full on from the start. C++ is pretty much not in demand anywhere

[ember hawk]

i’m trying to code video game hacks

for csgo

and stud

stuff

[spring condor]

Ah

Then start off with OOPS concepts first

[ember hawk]

what dat

[spring condor]

Object oriented programming

C++ is an OOPS language

[ember hawk]

oh cool

[spring condor]

So you need to know it's concepts to understand

[ember hawk]

are there any resources i can use to learn

[spring condor]

Then you can start off simple with w3schools or geeks4geeks

[ember hawk]

🙂

ty

[light totem]

Desperate time call for desperate measures

[arctic yarrow]

Short answer: Fuck no.
Long answer: Maybe, if you have several decades of training/education, and a shitton of expensive equipment.

Thats under the assumption they're referring to gaming graphics cards, which they most likely are.

[jovial tide]

Has it really gotten this bad

[cold elbow]

Buy a gt 730

[jovial tide]

You can replace the vram with higher capacity chips

[arctic yarrow]

You can, but it usually also requires flashing the bios of the graphics card, and is usually not worth the effort anyway.

[jovial tide]

I mean

Whenver 10 gb isnt enough im going to try it before buying a new card lol

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, for mining it would probably be worth it, but not for gaming.

My observation is that swapping the vram gives you a 3 fps boost max.

[cold elbow]

Youll never need more than 10gb

[jovial tide]

Yeah but when games need higher res textures and shit like that more vram will be nice

[arctic yarrow]

I'd honestly only do it if I was bored and was planning on buying a new graphics card anyway.

[jovial tide]

My plan exactly

[arctic yarrow]

Tf am I doing at midnight drunk af and talking about swapping vram? I got school at 6.

[jovial tide]

3080 is an extremely beefy card besides the low vram in my opinion

lol

[fervent granite]

I wish you could substitute ram for gpu memory

Like maybe partition 8 gb of ram exclusively for graphics, it’s much faster than vram iirc

[cold elbow]

gpu memeory is faster than RAM

also has less latency

[fervent granite]

But it’s also bigger physically

Why have that huge component when you could use a stick of ram? Theoretically of course

[kindred temple]

Because one is optimized for data and one is optimized for graphics?

I mean, you can do with GDDR as system memory

case & point Xbone

[fervent granite]

Then just make a stick of ram optimised for graphics :P

[buoyant fiber]

why would you want to increase the distance between the compute and memory tho?

[kindred temple]

:yikes: @fervent granite @brave field

Yeah

i got a massive memory leak on youtube rn

what the fuck

[balmy kiln]

My M2 sticks are not showing up in the boot priority menu in BIOS, I've been trying to figure out the issue for two hours now
Why can't shit just work

Does anyone know a fix for M2 drives not appearing in boot priority

[balmy kiln]

KEK management

[cold elbow]

Do u know massive is the performance impact that u can get from moving the VRAM a few cm?? it's huge and companies in the last few years been trying to reduce it even more
Like implementing it inside the CPU chip itself

[drifting pendant]

when I have my girlfriend I won't need yours anymore

[balmy kiln]

Need some help again lol
I got my M2 installed with windows and it boots up in less than ten seconds (holy shit) but a planned problem came up - none of the stuff on my HDD is showing, so things like my wallpaper, my local windows account I sign in on, none of my home tiles on the home screen are there, ect. All things you would imagine to happen.

What I'm wondering is, how do I get all the stuff that normally loads on my hard drive to load now that I boot off of an M2? I just want the SSD to boot windows, the HDD can handle the rest. Is there a way to have it so that I can set my computer to load how it normally does with the HDD?

Idk how to explain my problem, so in turn I just don't know what to Google

[balmy kiln]

I've also noticed that even though I've still got the HDD installed and can still open it in file explorer, if I try to open an application from it, it doesn't work. Hence another reason to be able to access both drives at the same time and set everything back up to the way I had it while just having the SSD boot windows and nothing more

[potent spear]

Pretty sure to put two drives under the same drive letter one of the drivers have to be completely empty, so I'm assuming that's not an option since you'll have to wipe your HDD

So uh

just get used to having two different drives

ez

[balmy kiln]

Shit

So it's either

A: buy a 2TB SSD and copy over the entirety of my hard drive to it

B: do some serious research on how to copy over things like my entire steam application, Oculus stuff, and so many other things then do some serious picking and choosing since my 256gb ssd is like 1/10th the storage space of my 2tb hdd

C: let the SSDs sit there cuz lol pretty lights, and continue to suffer from atrocious waiting times

Not fun, noooot fun

[brave field]

@fervent granite that's how things work now

But gddr DIMMs... Interesting.
Maybe have GPUs have their own slot for a VRAM upgrade? Still extremely slow, but a small few programs might benefit

[potent spear]

Or just fix the shortcuts for the programs saved on your HDD

[timid lark]

for i9 11900K which motherboard is good

[cold elbow]

@balmy kiln fresh windows install and repartitioning

[balmy kiln]

I already ordered a 2TB NVME drive, I'm gonna clone my HDD onto it and then cry in bed

[cold elbow]

Rich people problems

They wipe their tears with 2tb nvme

[jovial tide]

Do not buy a 11900k

if you really need gen 4 get a 5900x or go to microcenter and buy a 10900kf

[light sinew]

ddr4 for a graphics card would be turlte speed

people actually do the opposite

where they use a partition of graphics card vram as the regular ram for a device

That was how it one on the xbox one x

[spring condor]

And how does one do that

[jovial tide]

can i ask for help here

[light sinew]

Well, you can't unless it was done through scratch I assume and doing this would make the system completely unmodular.

[spring condor]

Oh, dam

[light sinew]

You can't do it with a regular computer

But a console that is never going to be opened up or modified in any way was a good candidate for it.

Which is probably why whenever you took apart an xbox one it bricked sometimes

It doesn't make all that much of difference in the end you are better off going the regular computer modular route

[jovial tide]

yeah consoles use gddr6 as system ram

[light sinew]

But for consoles it made sense

[jovial tide]

guess somehow its cheaper

[jovial tide]

with what\

i cant change my resolution to 1920 * 1080 yesterday it was working fine but today im stuck at 1440 * 900

check nvidia control panel

wtf

is that 2 monitors

do you have 2

only one

remove the 2nd monitor

how

on that screen

how do i remove it

give me steps

im not sure

havent used an os besides windows 10 in a while

oh

is that windows 7

try unplugging and replugging monitor

yes

ok

brb

didnt fix shit

try to find for me a video

or guide

[light sinew]

https://www.google.com/

[jovial tide]

i cant load google because

[light sinew]

Oh wait so it's showing you have a second 900p monitor when it doesn't exist???

i've never seen something like that before

[jovial tide]

yes

but it doesnt show on my monitor

it only show up when i use windows capture

[light sinew]

I haven't used windows 7 since 2016 so maybe it is an exclusive issue to that

[jovial tide]

well this is what i get for trusting my dad with my pc

im restarting pc since my nvidia update finished

[brave field]

Why is google inaccessible? You have internet, yes?

[jovial tide]

you should probably upgrade to free windows 10

[light sinew]

You can go from windows 7 to windows 10 within the computer or is there an extra step?

[jovial tide]

extra step

new tplink card

you can just download it off of microsoft website

use it unactivated

i cant

when i install

it says my wireless ethernet thingy doesnt match the required one to upgrade to win10

if gta was working fine i wouldnt be here

because fucking gta now on 2fps rather than 60fps while using this garbage resolution

what

its fixed i think i'll let u know if gta works normaly

what

the 1920*1080 resolution suddenly popped

out

but the other monitor is still there for some reason

[spring condor]

Why is everything green

[azure jungle]

anyone know how to fix error 0xc000007b

[potent spear]

google

[arctic yarrow]

My arctis 7 bit the dust after 2 years, what's a good wireless headset that won't break the bank?

[polar girder]

this is probably self promotion but i made a topic generator thing if anyone wants to try it
https://replit.com/@zeromomentum/codethings?v=1

[brave field]

@polar girder Ooh, this is cool

Why beautifulsoup instead of headless selenium?

Haven't tried the former, what does it do differently?

[polar girder]

it came up first on google

bs4 just parses html content iirc, selenium is a full on webpage controller

to actually get a webpage for bs4 to process i just used requests

[brave field]

ah
very, very nice

[fervent granite]

The only chip I've heard of that's done it (well) is the Apple M1

[cold elbow]

@fervent granite intel done it before

and basically all mobile phones

oh and amd with HBM i think done it before with fury cards

https://graphicscardhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/gddr5-vs-hbm-form-factor.png

[fervent granite]

yeah but those are mobiles (aka phones) whereas the m1 was meant for pc's

[cold elbow]

DUDE

[cyan mica]

This is my pc i built

[vapid grove]

you still haven't cleaned up those cables

[cyan mica]

Shiet you remembered seeing it

I am planning on getting manageable rgb cables

[cyan mica]

What specs you got?

[vapid grove]

Intel Q6600 and a Radeon HD 4870

https://tenor.com/view/yay-screaming-excited-dwayne-johnson-the-rock-gif-12412662

I have AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU in an MSI Gaming X Trio Graphics Card

[jovial tide]

Cable manage it now lol

[sullen cape]

People I need your help my moms Facebook account got hacked and I need help getting it back

Or doxxing them or they

[vapid grove]

Contact facebook, or use their account recovery option

Don't try to doxx people

[jovial tide]

What kind of question is that

[vapid grove]

idk but it was sure nice of him to use their preferred pronouns

[jovial tide]

lol

[jovial tide]

need these fucking fans to come in my gpu runs too hot

[vapid grove]

I think it's time for a new monitor

1440 ultrawide

[jovial tide]

lg makes a great one

like 800 bucks for a nano ips 1440p ultrawide

i have non ultrawide model and its amazing

[vapid grove]

I don't really want to spend that much. Likely looking at the $400-500 range

[jovial tide]

id go 16/9 then

ultrawides in that price range arent that great from what ive sene

[vapid grove]

Yeah a quick look on Amazon is just pulling up VA panels

[cold elbow]

LETS FUCKING GO

[brave field]

whole thing is a mess

[kindred temple]

CMP is already dead before the entire lineup is in the market

[jovial tide]

good

[brave field]

they rile up gamers while everyone else knows there's no chance this would do anything, then they remove it and people realize they'd never handicap their largest source of income, then they say removing it was an accident and now its found it only affects GPUs without a display connected

[jovial tide]

now they can buy the card that is basically made for mining

and let gamers buy the 3060ti

[brave field]

everything about it is useless

[jovial tide]

3060 garbage

[brave field]

I like AMD's approach: "We will not limit any workloads on our hardware"

Not only does messing with it not solve the fact that there's a pandemic going on that's hurting wafer production WORLDWIDE, it also causes drama and has people at each other's throats for no reason

[kindred temple]

Not like all they did is basically liquidating the macbook pro GPU stocks.

Thats what the mining cards of AMD is. Just repackaged macbook pro GPU.

[brave field]

That's fair

they sell those dies straight to huge farms that can afford to make their own PCBs and write the own OSes for it

Won't ever get them the joyous response they want from reddit like Nvidia's lie, but its good it goes somewhere

[kindred temple]

Liquidating legacy stocks are fine. Its basically a way to stop literal sands from flooding the landfill.

But what nvidia did is just gross.

[brave field]

right

and Nvidia did this KNOWING large farms buy mining SKUs

just stirring up the frustration between consumers

[kindred temple]

Honestly i want Eaton to make like mining UPS or something.

Just throw a bone so CMP isnt completely useless and miners can use it to death

[brave field]

CMP isn't useless though

its a bit late, its efficiency is... questionable

[kindred temple]

Thats the issue i have.

If its JUST released right on january where the BTC about to spike

[brave field]

and it does nothing for hobbyist/home miners, but the farms that can buy 50+ cards at once prefer mining SKUs, since they can buy on contract and get separate warranty treatment and all

plus, no having to ensure your tuning software works with a new model, since they don't automatically try to GPUBoost3 themselves to the moon

timing... yeah

They really should've had something ready around RTX 2XXX Super time, though

surely they didn't think they could just make P10X one time and never deal with it again?

[kindred temple]

AFAIK 1080Ti hash is still better than 3060

[brave field]

in that case

bring back P102 for large farms

ampere and turing don't have much over Pascal for mining other than GDDR6/X

Let the leftover Turing dies for CMP become RTX 3050 or something

Then its cheaper to produce, you don't hurt hobbyist mining, and large farms get their bulk order mining SKU that requires no software fiddling

win-win-win?

[jovial tide]

lol should I buy a hacked wii u

[kindred temple]

Yes for the kek of it

[fervent granite]

What’s the point of implementing those limits anyway?

[brave field]

PR move

check reddit and twitter the day it was announced

guy tattooed Nvidia's logo on his arm

[fervent granite]

[wanton wedge]

what can i get with 800 budget for a pc

[jovial tide]

Not much rn

Would reccomend saving up 1000-1100

[brave field]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bHK3nL + whatever GPU you can get your hands on

[jovial tide]

1000-1100 sweet spot rn

[wanton wedge]

cn i get something that can run csgo?

[jovial tide]

yes

[brave field]

A phone will run CSGO, just needs to run an OS that supports it

[wanton wedge]

how bout rust

[brave field]

Rust is a lot more difficult but not too demanding

[kindred temple]

:smoothbrain:

Just

[jovial tide]

save up 2-300 more dollars

[kindred temple]

pure smoothbrain

[wanton wedge]

im a dumb in pc and stuff but might anna make a switch

[jovial tide]

And you can have a phenomenal gaming pc

[brave field]

$1000 is an awesome spot indeed

[wanton wedge]

are pre buiilts bad

[jovial tide]

Most are

[kindred temple]

But rn their price is way better than custom

[jovial tide]

The boutiques are very good but demand a huge premium over building one yourself

[brave field]

These Cyberpower and HP systems over the past weeks with 2070 Supers in them though...

hard to beat, really

[jovial tide]

id only get the cyberpower

If you go with prebuilts

Avoid the huge companies like dell hp and acer

[brave field]

Fair, you get nothing proprietary with them

[wanton wedge]

how much would a good pc that can run smooth in most games

[jovial tide]

1000-1100

For max 1080/1440p

[wanton wedge]

i just want something that can run 60-90 fps in most games

[brave field]

$700 gets you that but you're overpaying right now regardless of your budget, because that system would still cost $500 in late 2019

[wanton wedge]

whats a good budget for a pc that can last a long time

and how often would you need to upgrade

[kindred temple]

1000$, every 5-7 years.

[brave field]

Nothing is worth it unless you have 10400/f + MSRP 3060 ti money ($1000) or more

[kindred temple]

Yeah, because by that stage might as well get xbox

or PS.

If you only got 500-700 or so

[jovial tide]

@wanton wedge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7kPVPV

All ssd for under 1200

It is a sata m.2 but it has a dram cache and wd makes high quality drives

Also the phanteks unit is a rebranded seasonic

[brave field]

Which Seasonic model is it?

Focus Plus Gold?

[vapid grove]

Y'all really recommending $1200 machines for CSGO and Rust

[jovial tide]

yeah i heard it had issues with 3000 series but i think its for the higher end cards

3060ti shouldnt have an issue

[jovial tide]

I mean its best bang for buck

[brave field]

@wanton wedge If you have a much more reasonable budget, scan https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ for prebuilts every once in a while. It sucks, but its the only way to get a system with a decent GPU under $700

Would be kinda cool if Nvidia or AMD or even Intel with their new line could just release something under $330

instead of there being 0 budget GPUs actively in production. The chances of getting a 3080 at MSRP are astronomically higher than those of getting a 1060 or 580 at a good price, which is the absolute worst because $90 used RX 580 was just about the best price-to-performance ever.

[jovial tide]

Under 300 dollars is apu territory

Imo

[balmy kiln]

my conputer has cost me now to be about 3000 dollars even, and all I do on it is use discord and play a game once every two weeks

[polar girder]

i skidded something 😎
https://reddit.zeromomentum.me
its https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit , and you can run it on repl.it so i was like why not lol

[crimson sentinel]

Just use Ruqqus.
Reddit is trash

[wanton wedge]

whats a good place to buy a prebuilt

and can you get a good pre built for 800

[kindred temple]

Nowhere

For 800, there's not much that you can do really.

Unless you wanna be brought for a wildride by geeksquad so they can fleece you

[wanton wedge]

can i even get a pc that can run 60-90 fps in all gams with 800

[crimson sentinel]

Depends on games

[wanton wedge]

on like brs fps and things like that

[crimson sentinel]

a 1070 with an I5 DDR4 x8 GB RAM with medium to high graphics on 1080 resolution

[wanton wedge]

how much does that coast?

[light sinew]

Before the graphic card spike it would maybe be like $600-$700 including most of the parts and the case.

the only thing you'd need left is a monitor, keyboard and mouse

I would opt in for 16gb of ram 8 isn't enough unless all you do is watch youtube and play clicker games

And you have to also get a motherboard that supports ddr4 ram and a more modern cpu

but those aren't too much

[wanton wedge]

ima just buy a pc in july proob

[light sinew]

Yea unless you are in dire need of a work or school computer, wait until the prices are stable for parts again

[wanton wedge]

okay

tys

[light sinew]

np

[jovial tide]

Should I get a deepcool castle 360EX AIO

R they good compared to other AIOs

[kindred temple]

Depends on what release date do you take.

Ive seen the earlier 2017/2018 model basically shearing off the tubes on CPU side, destroying people's GPU.

I heard theyve reinforced the tube but idk

[cold elbow]

@jovial tide get arctic liquid freezer 2 if you look for performance and cheap
it's the best but does not have RGB

[jovial tide]

Ok

[buoyant merlin]

I’ve been looking at getting a RTX 3060 for so long now every time it comes in stock it instantly sells out

[cold elbow]

that card is lame

[ripe stump]

boring stuff moment

[jovial tide]

liquid freezer ii like he said

[jovial tide]

garbage card get 3060ti instead

finally installing new fans so fucking excited

getting that h115i 🙂

[pliant lynx]

dam ROG

[worthy schooner]

Meanwhile, most decent 3060 builds here cost like 1200€.

[solemn shell]

Omg richhh

[worthy schooner]

With an R5 and 16G.

[jovial tide]

wait for the 3060ti prices to go down

[solemn shell]

@worthy schooner you are playstation playe

[worthy schooner]

I was hoping for a 3070.

[worthy schooner]

And...?

[solemn shell]

Wdym

[jovial tide]

3060ti/3070 basically the same

[solemn shell]

What is dlss btw

[worthy schooner]

Dual-Link something something.

[solemn shell]

😂

[worthy schooner]

(No, it's not "Something Something". )

[jovial tide]

ai upscaling

[solemn shell]

Rtx on?

[worthy schooner]

Wait no.

Deep-Learning Super Sampling.

[jovial tide]

rtx is real time raytracing

[solemn shell]

Man 3060 is overpriced

[jovial tide]

got my 3080 for 700 usd

pretty good price compared to the other cards

[pliant lynx]

my country charges 1k+ iirc

[worthy schooner]

Well, that's how the market works. People use Bots to hoard the stashes.

[jovial tide]

us you can get one on best buy lol

[worthy schooner]

The less you can gather, the more customers want them, and the more expensive they become.

[jovial tide]

supply and demand

[worthy schooner]

Meanwhile a 3070 in Germany equates to $1289.

[solemn shell]

Its $400 here

[balmy kiln]

I bought my 2060 Evo for $450

I wonder, can you stick a 2060 and a 3060 in the same computer? Will they work?

[brave field]

Yes

[balmy kiln]

Beautiful computer!

[brave field]

Any GPUs work in the same PC if you have the slots

[jovial tide]

thanks

[balmy kiln]

That's good to hear

[jovial tide]

imma do an upgrade to it today lol

got an h115i platinum for cheap

and using the old h100i fans on the bottom

[balmy kiln]

My 2TB NVME comes in todayyy

[jovial tide]

damn

[brave field]

me still out here with a 256 gig ssd because my wallet died

[cold elbow]

me still out here with a 500 gig hdd from 2009 because my wallet died

[jovial tide]

https://youtu.be/3n0_UcBxnpk waste of sand lol

[kindred temple]

Like me. But atleast i have a constant thermal output

[jovial tide]

lol

[cold elbow]

still people gonna buy them

[jovial tide]

i feel so happy with my 10700k purchase

[cold elbow]

same with my 3600X

[jovial tide]

11th gen is intels fx

[cold elbow]

it's basically the same with pcie4 soooo

they dont have to make something good nowadays

they only need to make something lol

[kindred temple]

Meanwhile Z590 doesnt support any form of Gen 4 connectivity out of the box

[cold elbow]

💩

[wanton wedge]

i think i found a good prebuilt but idk

[arctic yarrow]

Wait wut? They only have PCIE 3.0 connectivity?

If that's true, that's actually really sad.

[jovial tide]

link it here

[jovial tide]

Give us link

the ltt verified gamer thing sold out

[arctic yarrow]

Netgear R8000p is trash. You'll get great performance for a few weeks, then a firmware update WILL brick it, and netgear support will always blame the ISP even if plugging your computer directly into the modem works.

https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/a-civilized-discussion-of-the-best-linux:5

[fervent granite]

It always surprisies me how people can use linux as their daily driver

[arctic yarrow]

It works if you're not gaming

[wanton wedge]

well damnit

[crimson sentinel]

It works...
I use it

Altho I'm a gnome pleb it works...

[wanton wedge]

can i dm one of you guys to see if this is a good pre built becasue im not level 5

[arctic yarrow]

dm me

[crimson sentinel]

Would recommend mint over gnome tho

[arctic yarrow]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-ali415/p/N82E16883102993

Solid build, but the gpu is slightly weak

[wanton wedge]

tysm

should i just consider building one then?

my budgeet about 700-900

[arctic yarrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/ would be the place to go

I recommend copying the specs for that prebuilt, then look around for a more powerful gpu

[wanton wedge]

so should i buy it then upgrade?

ive seen videos it can run warzone with 60-80 fps on med graphic

[arctic yarrow]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, THE 1660 COSTS $750 MINIMUM.

[kindred temple]

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE SCALPERS CITY

[arctic yarrow]

I didn't know the graphics card market got this bad

[wanton wedge]

so should i just buy the prebuilt?

because its only about 850 on sale

[arctic yarrow]

Fuck it, just buy the prebuilt and sell the gpu if you have another gpu lying around

Goddamn

[wanton wedge]

ok time to save up lmao

thanks for the reccomendations

[arctic yarrow]

Bro, I paid half that amount for my 2070s

[crimson sentinel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXklChm1f_k

[wanton wedge]

they all look the same lmao

[crimson sentinel]

-.-

That's not how it works

[arctic yarrow]

Ok I'm a fucking idiot then

That 1660 is slightly better than my last gpu

[crimson sentinel]

Yeah in the middle.
But the price...

[jovial tide]

just wait to get a 3060ti

all those cards are irrelevant especially at current prices

[crimson sentinel]

Yeah.

[slender trellis]

Target: "Laptops under $300!!!"
Me: "I'm just gonna install Windows 10 on a Chromebook"

[kindred temple]

I mean, considering that theyre usually either 32gb emmc or 500gb 5400 hdd

Its either basically firefox machine you need to clean every month, or an actual laptop under 300$.

[fervent granite]

Ew emmc

Considering most chromebooks at that price are basically below potato-specs, windows 10 would run like ass

[cold elbow]

Or u can use linux

[jovial tide]

https://tenor.com/view/how-linux-users-install-a-web-browser-linux-linux-users-gif-20223386

[slender trellis]

Expert users can install MacOS on a non-Mac Hardware. By the means of Hackintoshing.

[spring condor]

I'll need to rip off Big Sur from an office Mac for that

[slender trellis]

That and requires your computer that can carry one or two hard drives or SSDs.

Installing on same drive will ruin your current OS.

[spring condor]

I have two drives

I planned on installing it on the HDD

Ssd has windows

[slender trellis]

Sounds like you're good to go, will you plan on installing Ubuntu also?

My PC can quintiple boot to two Windows 10s, Mac, Ubuntu, and FreeDOS.

[spring condor]

I had manjaro, but I wasnt using it anyways

Atleast big sur would be useful cuz xcode

[slender trellis]

I used Big Sur because of Final Cut and the Unique Webcam app that changed backgrounds aside from special effects.

[fervent granite]

What’s with the 2 windows installs?

Most I’ve done is triple booting with windows 7, 10 and Ubuntu

Now I essentially just virtualise

[fervent granite]

also be warned of its size, the iso image is a whopping 12.9 gb

and be sure you know how to convert the .app update into an iso

[brave field]

everyone got angry when Windows 10's media creation tool required 8gb drives instead of the 4gb every other version can use

And there's macOS with 13gb...

[fervent granite]

I guess it makes sense with macos as recovery tools are built-in, so you there's very few times you'd need to make a bootable usb

[balmy kiln]

I'm done

[brave field]

Think they'll ever make an online installer?

[fervent granite]

for macos? it already exists

[brave field]

Say, 2-3GB and then it just grabs everything else from Apple themselves?

er, one you can actually natively and easily get in .iso format

[fervent granite]

oh you mean like microsoft's tool? nah

[brave field]

well not really that either

maybe like a bootable version of media creation tool

[fervent granite]

yeah I still don't think so

that sort of tool already exists on modern macs' recovery system, you have the option to either download the last compatible version of macos or the latest

the closest thing I can think of are the recovery discs they used to include with every system, but they stopped making those a long time ago

[brave field]

hm

I figure since they don'

t want people installing on non-mac systems, why have the option for people to take the update files and do what they want

you need a mac to get the file to make an iso to install on a non-mac system

so why not remove the user from the process entirely or lock out the files or something of the sort? Would be easier than a timebomb + CPU model check + UEFI signature check, no?

[fervent granite]

I guess they're betting on people not having issues bad enough that they need those files with their macs?

I guess the only other reason would be what you said, that they're not meant for non-mac systems

[jovial tide]

the windows 10 experience

[balmy kiln]

I've been up since 11am yesterday just tryna grind, then I finally got my M2 in and paid 40 for AOMEI, just to do nothing but experience several crashes in rapid succession after it failed to clone after two hours of waiting

[jovial tide]

windows 10 moment

fuck windows 10

[fervent granite]

I always hated those programs like aomei or easeus

they behave like fake anti-virus programs in that they make you pay for the software to become actually useful

[left onyx]

!join discussion

[iron pecan]

You must be level 10 or higher to join this role.

[brave field]

Yeah, very shady

Install themselves moderately deep and leave behind traces when uninstalled

and the begging for money...

You can tell there's a decent product in there somewhere but the way they do things is just so annoying

[fervent granite]

I would've used clonezilla, it's free and open-source too

[brave field]

I'd gladly take some program with an ugly GUI that looks like its from the Windows 2000 era that "just works" over them

Clonezilla is nice, yeah

Its simple, its small, it does its job, its perfect

[fervent granite]

Was also the only way I could clone this xp disk I had as I only had one sata connector on my laptop

[spring condor]

That's pretty big for a OS package ngl

[fervent granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

os's are just getting bigger and bigger, you can see the trend with even with ios updates on ipsw.me

not to mention retail versions of windows 10 requiring at least 32 gb

[frigid echo]

That's just the way things go in the tech world. Will almost always grow larger.

[balmy kiln]

After two days I finally managed to get my drives to properly clone and holy shit it took less than a minute to go from the computer being off to it being open, all the home tiles are fully loaded, and I even launched discord before the clock changed

just gotta go through everything to make sure it works. No biggie. Think I'll start by playing VR and seeing how long it takes for me to load up a game

I did have an unfortunate instance where I had to repair my computer, and there was a point where I'd turn it on, the PSU fan would spin up super high, then the whole thing would immediately shut off. I fixed that issue by smacking the computer, and then I got it to boot

lol

is it okay for a ryzen 5 2600x to operate at a frequency of 3.8Ghz

[jovial tide]

Does gta update itself?

[jovial tide]

It looks like your pc was a mess

[spring condor]

I guess only when you try to launch it

[balmy kiln]

you would be correct in such an assumption. But now my $3000 rig is running like new after my upgrade to a 2TB M2 NVME

and the best part? My three new M2s have ARGB
So they'll sync to the rest of my environment

[slender trellis]

Poopy, I have two Windows installs: One is loaded from my SSD that came with a new PC and the other HD is transferred an old 2010 PC that was trashed before buying a new gaming PC that came with two insertable hard drive bays. Also, Macrium is also the best Clonezilla alternative.

[pure sinew]

i want to learn coding

[timber terrace]

Code what

[slender trellis]

What programming language?

[pure sinew]

@slender trellis yes

[fervent granite]

Do you swap between Windows installs or do you use it as a pseudo second machine?

[balmy kiln]

What is the purpose and benefit of two separate windows installs

[fervent granite]

When I did it with 7 and 10 it was mostly for nostalgia and to see the performance difference (it was huge)

I guess you could also use it for better backwards compatibility?

[winged heron]

python or java imo

Their the easiest to get into

Start by making a small game for example, like Tic-Tac-Toe

Then some algorithms

And then give yourself small challenges

With String manipulation and so on

[fervent granite]

And then you could move up to stuff like making your own os kernel, simple stuff ya know?

[wet tree]

Guys I need your technical helps

[stone harbor]

thats only stuff in samsung cloud

[wet tree]

Tell me if you had this before. Should I worry or not

[stone harbor]

if you use that alot you should be worried

[wet tree]

I have a lot

[stone harbor]

just put it on your phone

[wet tree]

Are you sure of this?

To OneDrive?

[stone harbor]

yeah samsung cloud is ending i think

[wet tree]

Okay

[fervent granite]

Yep OneDrive is replacing it

[wet tree]

Bullshit

I wish samsung can stay

[fervent granite]

It seemed really weird imo, it would be like Apple replacing its iCloud storage with google drive

[kindred temple]

Considering the max boost is 3.9-4, thats good

What cooler?

[jovial tide]

probably stock coolee

At least the old amd stock coolers were better

[jovial tide]

they used to bundle the bigger stock coolers with the ryzen 5s

[cold elbow]

i replaced my r5 cooler cus it's too loud

[jovial tide]

replaced my sisters wraith stealth with the prism rgb i had from another cpu

pc went from a jet engine to basically silent

[cold elbow]

because the first gen prisim was way better than the one came with the 3rd gen
it came without the copper core and a fan that goes to 3000RPM instead of the 2000RPM with the old one @jovial tide

the fan on the new one is loud even on low speed

[jovial tide]

the prism rgb was from 3800x

wraith stealth is complete garbage thoufh

[cold elbow]

it was fine for 4 cores

[jovial tide]

r5 3600 isnt that cool running of a cpu they shouldve bundled the taller cooler with iot

[crimson spade]

I need an antivirus. is malwarebytes good?

ik ik I'm on ps4 but for my pc.

[cold elbow]

@crimson spade use bit defender

[crimson spade]

k

[jovial tide]

dont use any antivirus

all are wastes of money

common sense>antivirus

[crimson spade]

malwarebytes is free.

[jovial tide]

never use free antivirus

its basically a virus for your pc

nothing is ever free

[crimson spade]

paranoid

[jovial tide]

what

literally free antivirus is a virus

[brave field]

malwarebytes' main issue is its relatively poor detection rates vs pre-MBAM 4.0

[jovial tide]

if you want to install it go ahead

probably will farm your data

[crimson spade]

yes. paranoid. ok

[jovial tide]

go ahead then

antivirus is just garbage for your pc that slows it down

and windows antivirus is good enough anyway

[crimson spade]

it doesn't delete the virus

just quarantine

[jovial tide]

the way to not get a virus is to have common sense so you dont need an antivirus anyway

windows defender is fine

[crimson spade]

it wouldn't really delete a virus. it would just quarantine it

[jovial tide]

fair

but would you even get a virus

all you need is common sense

[brave field]

Windows Defender has the option to delete though, why not use that?

[jovial tide]

and you wont get a virus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osqF50XhJEg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzeKPiwEfXk watch both

if you dont download free gta v legit mobile you dont need it

[crimson spade]

ik antiviruses slow me down

[jovial tide]

they slow you down for no gain

[crimson spade]

ok

[jovial tide]

if you dont download sketchy shit off the internet you will be fine

[crimson spade]

well I didn't. my lil brother did. we share a pc but mostly I on ps4. he knows my password and wanted to download a game I said no to. basically he just searched up free stuff.

[jovial tide]

you can give him a guest account

[crimson spade]

how tho

[jovial tide]

pretty sure in settings

[crimson spade]

k

[jovial tide]

not a guest account but a seperate account

[crimson spade]

right.

[jovial tide]

just dont install antivirus im pretty sure you can prevent installs of things on non administrator accounts let me check rq

[brave field]

non-admin accounts can't restore or allow threats detected by Defender, so he should be good. Defender can be set to auto-delete, and quarantine still doesn't let things run

[jovial tide]

yeah you can make an account for him and limit the sites he visits

so problem solved

[sick aspen]

I've got a question about gta and rdr : did they use the same engine for both ? Or they had to wreite something from scratch for rdr ?

[brave field]

R.A.G.E., their own. Its known they use Bullet Physics, Euphoria Animation, and Bink video too

Don't think they publicly say much else though. We know some work was done between RDR, GTAV, and then RDR2 though, because all three games use different rendering APIs, and there's no way they supported D3D12 or Vulkan when they made the ps360 version of RDR

[sick aspen]

ye but, did they have to rewrite it or smth ?

Similarly to redEngine, they had to rewrite a part of it for cybpuernk didn't they ?

[vapid grove]

Yall remember when GPU boxes had cool 3d art/graphics on them?

They should bring that back

[brave field]

You want flames, robot women with green eyes, and aliens back?

[vapid grove]

yes

😩

[balmy kiln]

Coolermaster ML240L AIO

Never seen temps above 60

[fervent granite]

it's not that it's garbage, it's just that most of the features they offered already come bundled in with windows defender like pc said

me personally, if I even suspected I'd be infected I'd just wipe my drive

[brave field]

partition wipe is ✅
actual viruses are dead, rarely will you run into malware that spreads to other partitions or drives, most of the adware/spyware/scareware nonsense won't touch other stuff, even the fake browser/av apps just slow down your PC

really just ransomware will be a problem if you rely on wiping your drive, and since ransomware is such a huge thing now, every av engine is fighting to be the top in detecting it

[balmy kiln]

I think I'm gonna buy another 2TB HDD, clone my HDD again, and use that spare as a backup. Then lock it in a box. lol

josef spending arc

[fervent granite]

you think bitlocker is worth it?

[jovial tide]

very nice, what mobo is that

[balmy kiln]

Asus b550-f

[jovial tide]

nice

ive used that board in a build before

i have a z490g strix 🙂

[balmy kiln]

I wanna get one of the water cooled mobos

I have every intention to upgrade my computer to a fully custom cooled rig

420mm radiator at the front, 360mm on the top, water cool everything including the ram

[vapid grove]

but why

[jovial tide]

wait why ram lol

[fervent granite]

might as well put in an engine and some tyres to make your pc double as a car

[balmy kiln]

There's 0 reason to cool ram but I want to complete the aesthetic so I'm going to lmao

[jovial tide]

just saying some stuff shouldnt be watercooled

like the ssd

[balmy kiln]

Bah, I have the money so I may as well. But I'm seriously daunted by the thought of working with solid pipes

[jovial tide]

no its not good for the ssd

it actually makes it run slower and decreases its lifespan

also solid tubing is dumb

do soft and itll make it go so much faster

[arctic yarrow]

Me: "Hey printer, scan this paper and send it to my computer."
Printer: "No! Fuck you! Give me Magenta!"

[fervent granite]

Or just, ya know... use air cooling :/

I didn't even know you could cool components like that

I thought it was only for the cpu

[brave field]

printers

I hate them and everything about them

they are terrible, they break when you use them, they break when you don't

they have weird quirks

they're expensive

Someone needs to revolutionize the printer

Invent a printer that does what its supposed to do and doesn't no longer work after a month of not printing something

and is quieter and faster and smaller and lighter and cheaper and uses less power

[arctic yarrow]

@brave field You've literally described a laser printer besides the cheaper part.

I personally feel like printer manufacturers could revolutionize cheap printers, but they build them shitty on purpose so they make more money.

Why do you think printers are worth less than the fucking ink?

[brave field]

because the ink cartridges have DRM?

[arctic yarrow]

That too

[brave field]

I mean my printer costs more than its ink if you buy refilled cartridges

but the official cartridges have whole separate PCBs on them

why does ink needs its own board and battery and power?

Ink cartridge with ARM processor, why

[arctic yarrow]

On top of that, when your printer says it's empty, if you crack them open they're still half-full

I believe that is by design though

[fervent granite]

I never had any problem with my printers before :P

But I've probably payed more in ink cartridges than the printer itself

[jovial tide]

printers are the worst fucking thing on the planet

[fervent granite]

albeit necessary

[jovial tide]

lo

[fervent granite]

have I just gotten lucky or are printers really that bad?

[brave field]

you are both lucky and printers are the worst

[arctic yarrow]

Depends, how much did you pay for your printer?

[fervent granite]

Like $70?

[arctic yarrow]

Damn, then you're pretty fucking lucky

[fervent granite]

maybe canon just makes good printers

[arctic yarrow]

Or maybe you got an actual functioning machine out of a bunch of lemons

[fervent granite]

I've still got my first printer too, it's an old hp photosmart

[balmy kiln]

Wait they have ssd water cooling
Actually fuck that I'm not doing that

[jovial tide]

id reccomend getting a board with either passive/watercooled chipset for a custom loop

since chipset fan can die and itll be a pain to remove it

[balmy kiln]

I can't find any asus AMD boards that allow a custom circuit. It's all intel

[jovial tide]

intel gang 😎

[fervent granite]

[fickle flume]

any recommendations for capture cards?

[jovial tide]

Elgato makes good ones

Would reccomend using a pcie one over a usb one

no

Its a scam

most likely

[jovial tide]

do not buy a prebuilt from dell, hp, acer etc

[eager tapir]

@scenic grotto let me show u a good PC

which is pre-built

[jovial tide]

build your own its not that difficult if you dont do stuff like custom loop watercooling and shit like that

[eager tapir]

All MSI PCs are good

[jovial tide]

nah

[eager tapir]

Yeah

I have never had a problem with an MSI pc

I built my own

but like

[jovial tide]

nzxt would have the best pcs if their cases had airflow

[eager tapir]

bro

are you on crack?

[jovial tide]

nzxt bld is pretty solid

[eager tapir]

the nzxt airflow is worse than my grandma's lungs

[jovial tide]

thats why i said if their cases had airflow

[eager tapir]

yeah

their parts are good

but there is basically no intake

you may as well take off the glass panel if you get one

[jovial tide]

lol

[eager tapir]

I think Asus is good

but I think they are mainly laptops

[jovial tide]

asus prebuilts are garbage

[eager tapir]

@scenic grotto def look at MSI tho

[jovial tide]

only buy a prebuilt that you know uses off the shelf parts

[eager tapir]

I have so much shit from MSI

[scenic grotto]

3000?!

Euros

[eager tapir]

No like

look at them all

not just that one

it has a filter

[scenic grotto]

Oh haha

[eager tapir]

idk euros

but a good PC is worth 1000USD

at least

if ur getting a prebuilt

I just suggest getting the parts

[scenic grotto]

Ill have a look

[jovial tide]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KV3Bt8 i went with a noctua since they are easy to install for new builders

and look nice

[eager tapir]

yeah thats a good site

I used https://www.microcenter.com/ to buy my parts

[jovial tide]

he lives in eu

[eager tapir]

yeah ik

Also whats better on a curved monitor, frames or quality

I was thinking of getting this
https://www.microcenter.com/product/633602/msi-optix-mag301cr2-295-wfhd-200hz-hdmi-dp-usb-c-freesync-hdr-ready-curved-led-gaming-monitor

Its pretty expensive

but I can make that money ez

bro wtf is this
https://www.microcenter.com/product/633941/acer-ei292cur-pbmiipx-29-ultrawide-full-hd-100hz-hdmi-dp-freesync-curved-led-gaming-monitor

thats huge

[arctic yarrow]

Accidentally left my etherium miner running while I was playing BF4, Still managed to pull 120+ fps on ultra. I guess BF4 doesn't use as much VRAM

[jovial tide]

curved 16/9 monitors are dumb

[arctic yarrow]

I personally agree. I feel like curved monitors are only worth it for superwide resolutions.

[jovial tide]

I want that lg 34 inch ultrawide it definitely needs the curve lol

[cold elbow]

i own one

amazing

[jovial tide]

the lg?

[cold elbow]

yes

[jovial tide]

cool

i want one

[cold elbow]

165hz curved

but the curve is so lil

[jovial tide]

it might not fit on my desk lol

will need a taller mount for 2nd monitor

wasnt able to cop anything from best buy drop 😦

[cold elbow]

i found this one used slightly

for half the price so

[jovial tide]

best buy dropped consoles

but the queue broke and i didnt get a console

[cold elbow]

why would u want a console

[jovial tide]

gta online and some exclusives

like rdr1 isnt on pc

[cold elbow]

console and ultra wide

[jovial tide]

ill use a tv

[cold elbow]

u might just get a series S

[jovial tide]

maybe

if fidelity super x is ever a thing

[fervent granite]

I'll probably pick up a one x in a few years

[cold elbow]

in few years they're drop a better one lol

[eager tapir]

why?

[jovial tide]

You dont need a curve with a small monitor

[eager tapir]

A curve is very good

[hardy geyser]

is 80 to 83 degrees celius going to hurt my cpu

[arctic yarrow]

It's not ideal, but it shouldn't hurt it if it hits that intermittently

[hardy geyser]

its normaly 80 but sometimes it will go up to 82 or 83 for a second

when im playing a big minecraft modpack

[fervent granite]

you and me both mate

my pc can handle workloads but minecraft just runs way too hot for my comfort, performance is solid though

[jovial tide]

Does anyone here know how to fix NVIDIA recording on the wrong monitor? I tried changing my main display but it still doesn't work. I even tried unplugging my 2nd monitor, restarting my pc and trying that but to no avail. Not sure if im asking in the right channel but I figured it's a tech question so.

[brave field]

Do you have the issue when using other recording software?

[balmy kiln]

I plan on getting six monitors because I've always liked the look of six monitors together with that little black barrier between them all. Makes me feel like a security guy or a cyberguy lol

[fervent granite]

I'm happy with my one external monitor

[vapid grove]

I can't picture any workload which would require six monitors. The max I could see for day to day use is three.

[fervent granite]

one monitor per browser tab?

[vapid grove]

I guess so

Even a third monitor seems kind of superfluous tbh. Main task on one monitor, and then two/three/four windows on the second.
