[rancid snow]

over priced

[jovial tide]

i found a better config

[rancid snow]

?

[jovial tide]

ibuypower

[rancid snow]

k

[rustic cape]

Doesn't Ibuypower suck?

[jovial tide]

if you configure them yourself no

ibuypower looks pretty decent tbh

[rancid snow]

liquid cooling or air cooling

[jovial tide]

id go air cooling tbh since its cheaper and is more reliable

[rancid snow]

k

[jovial tide]

im speccing a pc out rn

i got a system with a 10600kf and 3070 for like 1800 usd

[silent mason]

Is this UK, or US?

(or elsewhere)

[rancid snow]

US

im US

not sure bout others

[jovial tide]

free upgrade from 10400 to 10600kf which is cool

10600kf and 5600x are pretty close in games especially if you oc 10600kf

[rancid snow]

@jovial tide any good PC builds on ibuypower u recommend?

[jovial tide]

I got one with a 3070 and 10600kf for about 2 grand

Has a 240 aio with upgraded mobo and power supply

[rancid snow]

send me link to pc pls

[rustic cape]

GPU's on ebay are fucking expensive

[jovial tide]

ok gimme a minute

[rustic cape]

ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 TUF Gaming OC 8gb Edition for $51

[jovial tide]

does the link work

nope

https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Intel-Cerberus-EZB101/W/1465289 @rancid snow this one should work

could cheap out on mobo and add a hard drive its your choice

i put a nicer psu because i dont know the crap that ibuypower uses for stock psu

[rancid snow]

would a 144 Hz be good?

for it

[jovial tide]

depends on the exact monitor

[rancid snow]

what monitor do u prefer

[jovial tide]

What is your budget

[rancid snow]

2.5

[jovial tide]

for monitor?

[rancid snow]

no

oh

for monitor

like

200 or so

[jovial tide]

okay

[rancid snow]

also

for the feautures

do i have to add wifi?

or no

[jovial tide]

i think the board i chose has built in wifi

also

there is a prebuilt on best buy i can link you

that might be better value

[rancid snow]

k

yea

for sure

[silent mason]

This is what I went for for my build.

[jovial tide]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-10700f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-1tb-hdd-500gb-ssd-black/6439631.p?skuId=6439631 you could get this and upgrade cpu cooler and maybe psu

[silent mason]

But my build is in a very different budget 😂

[jovial tide]

the motherboard loosk pretty crappy though

[rancid snow]

isnt an 8gb 3060 TI like 1k in USD

@jovial tide

[jovial tide]

wdym

the starting price is 400 bucks but scalper price sure

[rancid snow]

hol up

[jovial tide]

oh

[rancid snow]

Can i add u rq

[jovial tide]

ok

that has a 2060 in it

2060 is way weaker than 3060ti

[rancid snow]

k

thx kanye

[jovial tide]

np

[eager tapir]

3060ti is good

I have the ventus

MSI

[rancid snow]

im using a 1660 ti rn

[jovial tide]

heard the ventus was a bad card

i have a 3080 founders edition so i really cant say shit

[fervent granite]

m1 ipad let's goooooooo

[jovial tide]

wait what

[fervent granite]

the new apple event, they announced their new m1 ipad

[jovial tide]

i dont get why apple keeps on making the macbook more and more obsolete lol

now ipad with the same processor?

[fervent granite]

to be fair they marketed it as a professional tool

[jovial tide]

godlike

daddy

[night timber]

why is it always like this: my program worked perfectly fine, when I revisit it a week later it's like the invisible genies ruined it, so many bugs and exceptions

[ionic patio]

is there any way to effectively and permanently disable windows 10 update except from task scheduler and local services tab?

[brave field]

Setting a connection as metered stops it from downloading any new updates

but I don't think you can disable it and all related services fully in versions after 1809

[jovial tide]

so true!

[jovial tide]

no

windows sucks

[frigid echo]

Wow I go to reply with the way to disable windows update in a few steps and got muted for spam o.O

[brave field]

What's the usecase?

0/10 if its anything gaming/media related, unfortunately. You're better off using a budget-end smartphone than a system with a GT 710.

but really top tier if you're going for an office machine

[kindred temple]

I genuinely hope that 710 is just a doorstop card

[frigid echo]

That gt 710 is for those hardcore PowerPoint presentations

[cold elbow]

should of gone for the 1030

[fervent granite]

ms actually used to tell you to get the 32 bit version of office unless you specifically needed the 64 bit version

now it always defaults to 64 bit

[brave field]

Do you know why they said that?

I remember having to choose 64 bit manually a year or two ago because of that

[fervent granite]

Myabe they figured 32-bit was better for add-on compatibility, although that's probably because I've got an enterprise subscription

[kindred temple]

You gotta be shitposting right?

[silent mason]

I wish there was a way to compare the Vega 8 from the 5600G with the Vega 11 from the 3400G

Because on their own for low level gaming stuff and overlay management stuff (secondary rig, because of the case I can't put a GPU in that case unless I vertically mount it and I don't fancy doing that), I'm not sure which will be better.

[cold elbow]

Either way if youre willing to upgrade get the 5600G

3400G is 4 cores

[silent mason]

Well the problem is the integrated graphics. There won't be a discrete GPU in this build

Main build sure, RTX 3070 in that beast (along with a 5900X). But this is trying to sort out the secondary build

[cold elbow]

I know

The one with the 5600G might be equal or better especially when it can support higher speed memory

And in the future your cpu will be able to handle the 3070

[silent mason]

Yeah, I just wish info was out there about it... I probably don't need the 5800G... and the 5800G (R7) is the V8 one, 5600G (R5) is V7

Again, I'm not vertically mounting the GPU, this build will never have a discrete GPU in it

I'm planning to use the 3070 in my main build until it dies (like what happened to my GTX 1080) - ideally hoping to get about 10 years use out of the GPU

[kindred temple]

where did the fuckyou guy gone?

[kindred temple]

do you need it only for video output but also low end gaming

[silent mason]

Low end gaming. I've got a game I'm developing that will need to run on it.

[kindred temple]

well then get the weak one. Worst case scenario.

[silent mason]

The weak one?

Worst case scenario would be my 3770K right?

[kindred temple]

Kinda

depends on how CPU-Bound your game is.

[silent mason]

Hmm... interesting...

[kindred temple]

what engine though, Unity?

[silent mason]

I've not decided yet

Probably Unity though, since I'm likely gonna be using C#

[jovial tide]

Those new macs unironically look so fucking cool

[misty coral]

yes they do

[fervent granite]

really wish they would get rid of that chin though

maybe instead of putting the motherboard/speakers under the screen they should've put them behind it

I would've thought by now they would've gone to an all-screen display like their thunderbolt display, with less bezel of course

[rocky verge]

What vpns do you guys use to play gta

[stone harbor]

none

[scenic grotto]

Does anybody know how i get unlimited fps because it looks like i am limited with 60 fps but i have a rtx 3070 so it can get higher then 60.

Its not in the game settings btw

[jovial tide]

what kind of monitor do you have

[scenic grotto]

Msi curved

144 hz i think

[jovial tide]

is it 60hz?

oh

try checking nvidia control panel

[scenic grotto]

And where should i look for

[jovial tide]

manage 3d settings

max frame rate off

[scenic grotto]

Allright thx

[jovial tide]

is this gta youre talking about

[scenic grotto]

Yeah but also other games

[jovial tide]

in online you will struggle to run above 60 on most rigs

[scenic grotto]

like csgo

[jovial tide]

i struggle with 80 fps on a 3080

[scenic grotto]

but with csgo u should get a higher fps then 60 with a 3070

[jovial tide]

yes

[scenic grotto]

ill have a look

[jovial tide]

i get around 400 1440p all low

but the game is heavily cpu reliant

[scenic grotto]

I have a 10th gen i7

[silent mason]

Wonder what I'll pull on CS GO with a 5900X and 3070

Or would pull, if I played it

[real dove]

Hey yo scrr scrr
Ich have some bluescrren errors on my aspire vx15-591-g

[jovial tide]

yeah i have a 10700k and 3080 you should definitely be getting higher frames than 60

did uncapping it work?

also go into display settings and set framerate to 144hz instead of 60

[cold elbow]

Windscripe

[arctic trench]

should i get a 144hz monitor or 120 hz if on a low budget?

[brave field]

If its 1080p or 1440p, you'll have an easier time finding 144hz or 165hz at a decent price than 120hz. 120hz isn't common for monitors anymore

[arctic trench]

oh ok

[brave field]

If you're buying a TV, 120hz is more common and cheaper than higher refresh rates

[open smelt]

?whois

[hasty void]

which of these is better: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157916 or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1558748-REG/msi_z490edgewifi_mpg_z490_gaming_edge.html

[jovial tide]

I’d trust the msi more tbh

I have a distaste for asrock

[frigid echo]

What's the scoop on Asrock distaste?

From what I know and have read Asrock is preferred over MSI. ASrock sporting better used components like their VRM'S and such. Where MSI has VRM issues documented and pointed out in their designs as well.

[arctic yarrow]

Asrock used to be a cheap budget option that would fail often, so it's left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

[crimson spade]

I'm planning on getting a gaming monitor so whats a good one? anything lower than 500

[arctic yarrow]

I'd look at BenQ for cheap good monitors

[crimson spade]

k ty

[arctic yarrow]

For instance:
https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/gaming/ex2780q/specifications.html

1440p 144hz

$400

[crimson spade]

k

[frigid echo]

Ah, so they have the sort of similar story to like Kia's and Hyundai's

[arctic yarrow]

And Samsung, don't forget.

[brave field]

@rustic cape $430 when changing just that component but that comes to around +$550 on top of the rest of the system being $700 above what it should be

I suppose its an okay option if you're locked into having to buy one of theirs but its definitely not worth it if you have options

[rustic cape]

The system I'm making is gonna be around 2K

[rustic cape]

I don't have many options

Only place where I can find a GPU for a reasonable price

[brave field]

Fair then

definitely wouldn't promote it to other users though

[silent mason]

Worth noting that ASRock is a wholly owned subsidiary of Asus

[brave field]

Unless they're in the EXACT same situation, there are options about $800 cheaper to go for

[arctic yarrow]

Asus, yuck. They tend to lock down features.

[silent mason]

Which makes it even more frustrating that ASRock works with Chroma Connect natively but Asus does not.

[silent mason]

My PC build is going to have an Asus Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi motherboard and an Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070

[arctic yarrow]

Definitely not a bad brand by far, but I prefer other brands over Asus.

[silent mason]

12 usb ports on the board itself.

[cold elbow]

overpriced board

heh

[brave field]

ASUS Republic of Gamers™️ GLUTEUS MAXIMUS IX FORMULA XTreme (Wifi)

The boards look nice, have features, but the atrocious names and $300 price tags are scary

[silent mason]

I considered the ASUS Republic of Gamers™️ CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA motherboard... but the way it was designed for watercooling and only watercooling put me off

and for the record, that's a £600 motherboard

Heck, the Hero I ordered is a £400 motherboard

[brave field]

£400

ASUS better have the CEO take a private jet to your home whenever your mobo has an issue at that price

[rustic cape]

I'm gonna send these builders to hell

I'm gonna make them do cable management

[silent mason]

And it isn't even their flagship motherboard, just a high-end one

[fervent granite]

ASUS Republic of Gamers™️ GLUTEUS MAXIMUS IX FORMULA XTreme (Wifi)
That’s a name

[slender sluice]

I need friends. Add me if you wanna be friends

[pastel schooner]

DAMN

400 BUCKS FOR QHD 144HZ

time to change my 10 year old monitor

[arctic yarrow]

Been thinking about changing out my 1080p 144hz monitor for one of those, but I keep spending all my money on crypto :/

[pastel schooner]

i got 1080p 60hz

[jovial tide]

i got my 27gl850 for 400 usd

its on sale rn

1440p144hz ips from LG

[pastel schooner]

but can i run gta with gtx 1060 3gb on that monitor?

[jovial tide]

no 😦

[pastel schooner]

oof

TIME TO CHANGE MY GRAPHIC CARD

TIME TO CHANGE MY uh... EVERYTHING I GUESS

[jovial tide]

current monitor

[arctic yarrow]

GL with that

This is mine

[pastel schooner]

those overpriced mfs

[jovial tide]

turn on windows dark mode

smh

lol

[arctic yarrow]

I don't go into those settings very often, so no real point lol

I'm an old-school control panel guy

[jovial tide]

it scares me

[arctic yarrow]

or just use the run dialogue box

Access my network adapter? Windows-R, type "ncpa.cpl", press enter.

[jovial tide]

light mode users terrify me

especially on phones

[arctic yarrow]

Define "user" though

[jovial tide]

wouldnt dark mode give you better battery life since they use oled panels

[pastel schooner]

comes with extra .001 hz

[jovial tide]

anyone that uses light mode on their devices

[pastel schooner]

I USE DISCORD LIGHT MODE

[arctic yarrow]

Battery life on a desktop

[pastel schooner]

lmoa

me on a phone on discord light mode.

[jovial tide]

i meant on phones 😦

[arctic yarrow]

oh yeah, phones I put everything on dark mode

[pastel schooner]

wEe

i used it for years

[fervent granite]

theoretically yeah, but not all phones have oled screens

[jovial tide]

all flagships nowdays do 🙂

[fervent granite]

even still I haven't got a problem with light mode

[jovial tide]

it hurts my eye

[fervent granite]

back in my day barely anyone complained about the absence of "dark mode"

[jovial tide]

Does anyone know how to make crews

that can help me out cause I don’t know how

[tame current]

Hi, I saw a Gigabyte Radeon RX 6700XT Gaming OC 12GB for $1031.80 in an online shop, I'm not sure if it's legit because it has no rating. However, the seller has sold many other products and his total rating so far is 4.9 out of 5.

[craggy moss]

best to buy from someone with ratings than risk that amount of money on someone your unsure in my experience

[tame current]

The seller itself has 4.9 rating but this particular product he's selling doesn't have any rating.

[craggy moss]

its your choice but to be very safe, just buy from ones with ratings

[tame current]

There's no other video cards with ratings though.

[craggy moss]

i bought a logitech g502 special edition for $43 and will test it when gtav is fixed on pc

[tame current]

Wow, nice

[craggy moss]

then thats your call

best to do research on where and how you buy that card

[tame current]

Maybe I can take it, the seller of this video card has 4.9 out of 5 rating after all, only this video card has no rating, probably because only 1 pc of this is available in his shop.

[craggy moss]

does the seller accept refunds?

[tame current]

Yes

[craggy moss]

then gl on that dude

ima chill with my 1050 ti

[tame current]

Flight Sim 2020 is so demanding in specs. -.-

Which is forcing me buy high end video cards

[craggy moss]

tbh you shouldnt be panic buying and just wait it out

how much fps do you get with your current system?

[tame current]

I can't run Flight Sim 2020 in my PC, it's vintage right now.

[craggy moss]

can you tell me the specs?

if you have a amd ryzen 5 3600x with 1080 ti then thats fine

buying high end cards as seen in the pc market...isnt doing well rn

[tame current]

CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz
Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology

Ram: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)

Motherboard: Intel Corporation DH61BF (CPU 1)

Graphics: MT23L (1360x768@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (NVIDIA)

Storage: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM ST1000DM010-2EP1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA )

[craggy moss]

ah

whats your budget

you cant just buy a high end gpu and play with that cpu

flight simulator is like for rich people xD

[tame current]

Well yeah, I'm building from the scratch. There's no definite limit for my PC budget right now but it doesn't mean I'll buy the most expensive top ends.

I'm planning to get Ryzen 7 5800x.

[craggy moss]

i suggest you get a ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 3 3100, an rx 580 or rx570 these gpu cost about $120 or less, 16-32gb ddr4 3200mhz, and 1tb hdd and 512gb ssd

if you get that in store that would be good

for ram you should know the max limit your cpu can use

unlike me before when i didnt have much knowledge xD i bought a i3 9100f with 16gb ddr4 3200mhz and only use 2666mhz with xmp

[tame current]

I just hope 1.5tb is enough for my games, music, movies and so on.

[craggy moss]

thats how much i have lmao

i got 1.5TB hdd

i have 19 games and other software for college

[tame current]

I only have 1 1tb hdd and 1 100gb hdd

And I'm running out of space

[craggy moss]

you should get an ssd for boot up

[tame current]

Yes, that's the plan.

[craggy moss]

i guess since you dont have limit for budget then a 4tb hdd would be fine

nvme m.2 is expensive but its slightly faster but low storage than ssd

[tame current]

2 pcs 1tb ssd.

[craggy moss]

that would work

and for monitor what hz is yours set to

mine is 75hz

if your going for that high end card still then a 144hz or higher will suite just fine

[tame current]

Only 60hz

[craggy moss]

yea....your gonna need to get a new monitor tbh

[tame current]

Yes

[craggy moss]

as for psu...idk what amount is enough for that system

[vapid grove]

MFS 2020 really needs a good CPU.

Cant just throw high end components on a low-spec old build and call it a day

[tame current]

Is GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3070 GAMING OC really more expensive than Gigabyte RX6700xt Gaming OC 12GB?

[craggy moss]

i have a spare ddr3 hyperx 4gb and i5 750 on my cabinet xD

[craggy moss]

a tip of advice

nvidia is expensive for its good gpu drivers while amd gpus are good for their gpu streght but alot of updates on gpu drivers

it really comes down to which gpu brand you really need

gpu spec i mean

[tame current]

Which is better?

[craggy moss]

amd

[tame current]

But I can use Nvidia on Ryzen, right?

[vapid grove]

Yes

[craggy moss]

because even amd's rx 580 is so old yet still good

nvidia gpus are at scalper market rn

[vapid grove]

I havent really seen many driver issues with the 6000 series GPUs

[craggy moss]

or you wait in line on a store

thats a first

its what i heard from my friends and youtubers

[vapid grove]

If you're planning on a new computer with a current gen GPU you're best bet is a prebuilt.

Avoid the stupid high price/availability of buying a la carte

[craggy moss]

for prebuilds, youtubers show some with bad airflow and how they put ram

and cable management

[vapid grove]

That's all fixable.

Except airflow

[craggy moss]

and alot of thermal paste

[vapid grove]

Just stay away from those stupid glass front cases

[craggy moss]

finding a prebuild with good enough airflow would make you be lucky

and ram as well

1 tech review about a pre build found that the ram put inside was half of a kit

i spent too much info on pc xD

prebuild is when you cant pick good parts

[tame current]

What motherboard brand would you recommend?

[craggy moss]

which sometimes sellers dont say will bottleneck

as for mobo...hmmm

this is the ones i sometimes get mistakes about but

[tame current]

I couldn't even even find a decent prebuilt PC.

[craggy moss]

there are motherboards compatible to certain gens of intel or amd cpus

[vapid grove]

Motherboard brand doesn't really matter

[craggy moss]

its the specs

[vapid grove]

Just get the right socket for your cpu

[craggy moss]

and size

dont forget size

[vapid grove]

Unless you're planning on overlocking

[craggy moss]

not just socket, some have 2 or 4 ram slots

some have specs you need and dont

yea...my motherboard is locked for OC xD

i planned to get a 144hz monitor when my pc was being upgraded but sadly a person bought the last one

[craggy moss]

as for case, you need to first check your motherboard size and see if the case has ventalation and good space

it could be an ATX or mini ATX

the cooler and low temps your cpu and gpu are the more results they can give you

since your planing to get an ssd, finding a pc case with a ssd mount wont be too hard

i would estimate your spendings to be at about... $2400?

since that gpu is $1k right

[tame current]

$2,946.47

Its ram is 32gb as well.

[craggy moss]

at what hz

i mean mhz

make sure its at the reach of your cpu

a low mhz ram for it will put your cpu at its low potential

[tame current]

3600mhz

[craggy moss]

alright so, cpu,gpu,ram,case,monitor are all found but psu

for psu there are some that doesnt have enough cables for many hhd or ssd but if your gonna use your 2 1tb hdd and a ssd i guess that will be enough

its the psu you cant go cheap on xd

corsair is a good trusted brand for psu and coolers and fans

[tame current]

I'm not sure what's the psu here.
Dual Chamber White
Asus TUF 750w 80+ Bronze
Darkflash Twister DX240 AIO CPu Cooler White

[craggy moss]

you can save alot of money if you build on your own

many charge $50-100

can i see your pc list again

theres sites that you can calculate the needed watts for your cpu and gpu

also when applying thermal paste just a drop will do

[tame current]

Ryzen 7 5800x
Colorful X570 Gaming
32GB Dual G.Skill Ripjaws 3600mhz
1TB WD Blue Sata SSD (2)
Gigabyte RX6700xt Gaming OC 12GB
Coolman Robin II TG, Dual Chamber White
Asus TUF 750w 80+ Bronze
Darkflash Twister DX240 AIO CPu Cooler White

This is the one I'm trying to build.

[craggy moss]

yea your psu should be more than enough

nvidia gpu would make you get a 850w xD

@vapid grove dont you agree xD

[tame current]

What's the psu there?

[craggy moss]

wdym?

[vapid grove]

Theres no info on the Asus TUF PSU on the LTT tier list. I'd look for a more well known PSU tbh. Also, drop the AIO and go for a small nvme as your boot drive (imo)

[tame current]

Oh

[craggy moss]

as for windows i know you can use it again

[tame current]

Windows?

[craggy moss]

O_O

are you using linux?

[tame current]

I mean my current windows now?

[craggy moss]

yes

[tame current]

I'm still at W7. 🤣

[vapid grove]

Also how much is that x570 board? You could save some money with a b550

[craggy moss]

WTF

@vapid grove is that a amd compatible board?

[vapid grove]

X570 is AMD, yeah

[craggy moss]

nice

[vapid grove]

Also if its solely for gaming the 5800x kinda overkill too

[craggy moss]

@tame current your fans should have 1 to pull air in and 1 to push air out

amd stock coolers are better than intel sotck coolers

[tall dome]

the big question is if I wanna get a 5600X instead of keeping my 3700X

[tame current]

I'm gonna use it for Flight Sim 2020.

[craggy moss]

if your cpu is still fine then dont

[tame current]

Alright. I'm still thinking if I should get liquid cooling or not.

[craggy moss]

NOOOoooooooooooooo

liquid cooling is high maintenance

[tall dome]

AIO is high maintenance?

[craggy moss]

amd stock cooler is fine as it is unlike intel's

[tall dome]

You do mean custom loops right?

[craggy moss]

oh wait nvm i was thinking of liquid cooling xd

[craggy moss]

yes ;-;

[tame current]

And fan coolers can do just as good as liquid cooling?

[tall dome]

I do want a custom loop, but I wanna have it when I am a good PC builder eho knows his stuff

[vapid grove]

Not worth the cost imo

[craggy moss]

i mean its his choice

[vapid grove]

Ofc

But people overspend all the time for no tangible benefit. Just as long as he is aware.

[craggy moss]

we just helping him with new pc since an i5 3rd gen wont do much with that kind of card

[tame current]

3070 or 6700 video card?

Which would you guys choose?

[craggy moss]

30 series gpu in online market are with scalpers

if you can wait at a local store then go for that then if you dont want amd

[jovial tide]

AYO SLIM SHADY MY LAPTOP RUNS 65 FPS ON GTA 5 ONLINE FULL SESSION 😂 💯

[tame current]

In specs?

[craggy moss]

mine is 80fps

[jovial tide]

gtx 1060 with core i7 7700k

[craggy moss]

i3 9100f, 16gb ram, 1050ti

[jovial tide]

and also a biltema fan pointing towards the pc

[craggy moss]

lol try overclocking your cpu

[jovial tide]

i had acer predator sense but i had to reset my pc so everything got wiped

now if i try to download it it just says "DRIVER NOT SUPPORTED, SORRY"

[craggy moss]

xD

[jovial tide]

and i download the driver

and...

DRIVER NOT SUPPORTED, SORRY!

[craggy moss]

laptop gpus are slightly less weak to its pc predicesor

so are its cpu counterparts

[jovial tide]

i run gta on my 1060

[craggy moss]

mine is 1050ti 2gb

[jovial tide]

like bruh i can imagine the inside of my cpu

computer*

the cpu looks like a burnt up sandwich and the 1060 looks shiny af

[craggy moss]

that i7 is an oc cpu

[tame current]

Or maybe I should change to Nvidia RTX 3070

[jovial tide]

i dont get to use the 1060 that often

[tame current]

But it has to be 12gb

[craggy moss]

@tame current if you can buy 1 in a local store then yes

[dusty igloo]

Msi 1050ti card has four gigs of ram i believe.

[craggy moss]

just dont buy online because of scalpers

[tame current]

I won't.

[craggy moss]

mine is galax

[jovial tide]

lmao i just point this at my pc and bam 20+ fps more!

[vapid grove]

[jovial tide]

i know its cursed af doe

but its the budget thing for me

[dusty igloo]

The MSI 1050ti comes with two masive fans. And excellent heat sink. That really big.

[jovial tide]

i have the 1060

[vapid grove]

I cant wait to get my hands on a 3070

My 1660S has served me well but I want to make the switch to ultrawide 1440p

[jovial tide]

i just have this pc

its enough for me

[craggy moss]

my sister's laptop has a 1650 super and a badge with rtx xd

[jovial tide]

lmao thats so fucked bro

if you have that rtx badge slapped on you get 100+ fps

[tame current]

How come I can't find a GeForce RTX 3070 12gb?

[craggy moss]

scalper market

or out of stock

[jovial tide]

is the partner ghillie master legit?

[tame current]

Yes

[jovial tide]

also the opressor mk2 had explosive cannons?

i feel like i have been living under a rock

[tame current]

So the RTX 3070's AMD counterpart is RX 6800xt

[craggy moss]

kinda

but amd gpus are cheaper

[tame current]

Ugh! I just hope that the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6700XT Gaming OC 12GB is enough for ultra high settings

[zealous pasture]

mmmm

[vapid grove]

Wont even hit 60fps at 1080

Damn MFS2020

[tame current]

So...

[fossil briar]

I get around 60 fps with at all max settings and 1440p with i7-9700K and RTX 2060 Super

[tame current]

It means that GPU is not enough?

[fossil briar]

Idk

My gpu has 8GB VRAM

[tame current]

It means I have to get RTX 3070 or RX 6800XT...

[vapid grove]

Look up some benchmarks and decide on what you'd be happy with

[fossil briar]

Wait r u guys talking about gta or flight sim?

[vapid grove]

Keep in mind frames will drop considerably if flying through any kind of weather or lots of clouds

[tame current]

Flight Sim

[fossil briar]

Oh ok

[tame current]

In video cards, higher gb means better graphics, right?

[craggy moss]

not just gb

its also based on how strong the specs of the gpu is

[tame current]

Would the gb matter much? Like 8gb, 12gb?

I'm now unsure if I should pick Nvidia RTX 3070 8gb or AMD RX 6700 12gb.

[craggy moss]

the dedicated ram gb of the gpu is for its self for tripple a games and it all comes down to the strenght of cores and exchange of computing of the gpu to the cpu and ram

nvidia did develope a new thing in its driver that allows its new 30 series to do them

its called like mesh something

[tame current]

Oh

[craggy moss]

just like amd's rx580 it can handle 4k resolution

[tame current]

RTX 3070 has higher spec than AMD RX 6700 but the only 3070 I can find is 8gb while the RX 6700 I can find is 12gb.

[craggy moss]

its all up to you and the benchmarks provided

[vapid grove]

3070 is a more powerful card than the 6700 afaik

If you can find one I'd go that route

[craggy moss]

whats afaik

[vapid grove]

As far as I know

[craggy moss]

ah

i also found out i can still use the profiles of my dpi settings in my logitech g502 hero se mouse even after i uninstall g hubg

[tame current]

Thanks

[tame current]

Uhh, I requested for the PC shop to add a cd rom in my future PC but they replied it's rare nowadays because most people don't use cd roms anymore.

What do you guys think?

[pale thistle]

I recommend it that's more options

[silent mason]

A lot of cases don't even have a slot to put a CD ROM drive in... mine doesn't for example. Better off just getting a USB one if you end up needing to use it.

[tame current]

My GTA V is dvd version. Oh well, the shop recommended me to buy an external dvd rom.

[jovial tide]

i had that laptop

i fucking hated it so much

[cold elbow]

u get these like a normal human being https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61y6oo5H5HL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[tame current]

Oh, nice

[jovial tide]

who has an optical drive in 2021

[fervent granite]

Me?

My old laptop still has one that I use occasionally

[strong saffron]

My laptop has one too but I can't remember the last time I used it

[jovial tide]

Optical media is from the cavemen times

[frigid echo]

Heck my old laptop has a nice pretty bluray drive. Then I got an external enclosure for my PC to have bluray. I'm a big fan of still owning hard copies of movies and my large CD collection. I've had situations were digital ownership of music. Has screwed me over. Or it's not available any longer on a digital platform.

[jovial tide]

i like steam

i use steam

steam

[frigid echo]

I do appreciate steam not pulling so far products you purchased that may no longer be available. Like for a bit Alan Wake was not available but it was still in my library. Or how a buddy still has a steam copy of Fable 3

[jovial tide]

yes

[tall dome]

if only I could mount one on the side of my PC

I hate using glue

[frigid echo]

Velcro strips my guy

[jovial tide]

i have a tiny case anyway

so a dvd drive wouldnt fit

at least for matx standards

[frigid echo]

Ya I had to move to a external drive

[jovial tide]

i havent used an optical disc for anything besides occasionally playing gta on my xbox

[frigid echo]

I use it for my CD's older PC games, and watching my bluray movies

[jovial tide]

most of the cases with optical drive bays i see are either extremely cheap and garbage airflow or extremely expensive

only decent one i can think of is that fractal case

Hey guys! We removed products from ur iphone case so it produce less garbage!

for 30 bucks a pop, we give u this product with more garbage!

[fervent granite]

that eco-friendly thing is really just tim's idea

but they seem pretty neat though, my only concern is how well they'd work in places where there aren't many iphones around

[iron lantern]

its really dependant where u live

somewhere like the US?

no problem, simple

[fervent granite]

well yeah, but let's say I visit el salvador where I'm from. where iphones are super rare

I'd reckon it'd be about as accurate as find my iphone

[silent mason]

Yeah I prefer Tile. Works with both.

[jovial tide]

I want to learn how 2 code but where

[spring condor]

Pick a language, search in YouTube. You'll find an Indian guy covering it in detail. Watch and learn from it

[jovial tide]

Lmao

[light sinew]

idk if my laptop has a cd/dvd drive

probably not

[jovial tide]

Xd ok

If an ISP is blocking access to VPNs, how would they do it and how would you get around this block?

y’all think it’s possible to hydrodip my 3080 fe cooler

or does the design kinda prevent it from working

[south sequoia]

CAN ANYONR PLSS HELP ME

[jovial tide]

what

idk but anyone know how to get stuff off my character

[south sequoia]

so

i bought a gta code

it reedeed

but now it says play on epic

it shows its on my acc tho

@jovial tide

[jovial tide]

Steam code?

[south sequoia]

no rockstar

[jovial tide]

Not sure

I always buy on steam

[south sequoia]

oh

[iron lantern]

math

[brave field]

Maybe some of that is copy or video decode?

Does task manager show anything other than 3D or encode when sorting by percentage on that tab?

[iron lantern]

no

decode and 3d

[brave field]

interesting

Its weird that compute never shows up unless you go to the performance tab

OpenCL, CUDA, and RocM workloads all show 0% GPU usage when in use

[fervent granite]

are they actually using 0 gpu?

[brave field]

I don't know if later versions of Windows 10 just interpret as 0 or if task manager specifically is replacing it with 0% but no

the GPU gets warm still, fans rev up still, the program you're using progresses

Someone could dump lolMiner or NBMiner on someone's PC and task manager would actively hide that their GPU is being used

[fervent granite]

my win10 randomly shows/hides the gpu tab altogether

[iron lantern]

u might need to drag it out

[craggy moss]

@brave field thats the same nickname i have somewhere xD

[brave field]

another addict

[craggy moss]

I took the course BSITAGD in college for it lmao

Computer engineering is too harf

Hard*

[brave field]

What is BSITAGD?

[craggy moss]

Its digital artist

[fervent granite]

if comp sci weren't hard enough already for me I wouldn't survive in comp engineering

[silent mason]

£187 to go from the 5900X to the 5950X, I feel like the 5950X isn't gonna be worth it for me, as the 5900X has a higher base clock...

[silent mason]

yeah, been speaking with a friend who really knows her stuff about this and she said when it comes to gaming, the 5950X does not help whatsoever vs the 5900X. Even the 5900X is overkill but it does at least give some headroom, yet the 5800X would still be brilliant.

[brave field]

She is very right

Games are moving to be centered around 6c12t and a 5900x will probably be asleep in many titles

[jovial tide]

ayo can my pc crash because i have a 123 gb ssd

[vapid grove]

What

[pliant lynx]

123gb ssd?

[jovial tide]

yes

its shit i know

but i have a decent gpu

[pliant lynx]

what your specs now?

[jovial tide]

gtx 1080 8 gb

700 wts

i think

im not really a pc guy so i need

help

[vapid grove]

With what exactly

[jovial tide]

i useed to have a game and it crashed to be precise

fortnite

im scared to buy gta and it crahes

so

wdyt

[pliant lynx]

imo u can run the game if your rig is OK given by your spec

[jovial tide]

i wanna know if its from my ssd

[pliant lynx]

but u having only 123gb space is a problem, gta takes up to 95gb iirc

[jovial tide]

so it might crash cuz of this

[vapid grove]

Games don't usually crash because of a drive unless the drive is dead/dying. Not enough info.

[pliant lynx]

i do not think is SSD issue

i believe RAM is more of the issue here

[jovial tide]

ok

[lilac heath]

Update ur nvidia driver

[jovial tide]

i did

how much is gta for pc

i have enough ram

[vapid grove]

Usually $10-15 USD

[jovial tide]

ok

[vapid grove]

If you're talking about RAM i believe 4gb min

[pliant lynx]

there is this policy if u buy from steam

u can refund game within 2hr of playtime and refund request within 2 week s

[jovial tide]

but i live in canada

[lilac heath]

Get it from steam ,not epic

[pliant lynx]

but the money will be refunded to steam afaik

[jovial tide]

ok

[pliant lynx]

what wrong with CAD and steam?

[lilac heath]

Epic has very poor servers

[jovial tide]

no cz epic says

its not availible in ur region

and i cant find it on steam

[vapid grove]

What country are you in?

[jovial tide]

canada

[pliant lynx]

canada

[vapid grove]

[lilac heath]

[jovial tide]

but the rockstar headquarters are located in toronto

[pliant lynx]

i dont think is banned

[jovial tide]

same

[pliant lynx]

can u ss the store page at steam?

[jovial tide]

but lets say i wanna upgrade my ssd

my old one

[lilac heath]

Stop trolling

[pliant lynx]

you will just have more storage
that all

[jovial tide]

do i need to reset my pc

[pliant lynx]

maybe a minor minor improvement

erm no

[jovial tide]

cuz i find a vid<

gtx 1080 8 gb is good tho

right

[vapid grove]

Yes

[jovial tide]

ok

can it be a problem with my card

im scared there is a problem in it

[pliant lynx]

maybe

[jovial tide]

ok

any ways im gonna upgrade my card

and then buy gta

but thx for the help tho

[vapid grove]

[jovial tide]

lmao

is there a way to find out if my card id the reason im crashing

is

[silent mason]

The 5900X was to give me overhead for the video editing (as well as visual FX) and game development side of things. Seemed like a good balance between gaming and work.

[silent mason]

I think I'm gonna be fine. my Samsung 980 Pro NVME PCIe Gen 4 SSD is 2TB.

[vapid grove]

Why is a reasonably priced optiplex so difficult to find

[pale thistle]

Because covid

[jovial tide]

i got mine for 120

4570 i think with 16 gb ddr3 and 250gb ssd

[drowsy lynx]

Guys, which one is better? 144hz 1440p or 240hz 1080p

I might buy 30series in future

I have 1060 rn

Its a 27inch Monitor

[light totem]

i'd say go with a 240hz only if u plan on buying a 30 series
with a 1060 you'd barely get a stable 70 for most games these days so

[light sinew]

I would prefer 1440p with 144 over 1080 with 240 because the stuff I play does not need the frame difference over the quadruple the resolution quality

People who competitively play fps games might prefer the 1080p 240 route

Because they rely more of that smooth feeling than resolution quality

[brave field]

1440p144 is likely the better choice, not many can tell 120/144/165 from 240 as well as they can 1080p from 1440p

[light sinew]

Yea overall I would rather have 1440p for what I do

[drowsy lynx]

Can anyone suggest me a monitor?

144hz, 165hz or 240hz

Below 350$

[empty coral]

Any preferred resolution?

[light totem]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG278QR-Supports-Compatible-DisplayPort/dp/B07XV1519W/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=asus+144hz+monitor&qid=1619288814&sr=8-4

[drowsy lynx]

1080p n 1440p

[light sinew]

Just look for any reputable brand and check the specs for a 1440p, 144hertz, ips panel monitor

They should be around $350

[empty coral]

I found a monitor for 250 that is 1440p 144hz and IPS

[stone harbor]

what

where

send a link

[jovial tide]

Ips is the only option

[drowsy lynx]

Which monitor?

Send link

[fervent granite]

Oled panels stil aren't mainstream?

That’s cheap af for an ips panel

[brave field]

nice setup

What laptop is that?

[hardy geyser]

Msi gf63 with a 10th gen i7 and gtx 1660

[distant rover]

Is buying the new Xbox worth it

[brave field]

Don't own either but it sorta looks like the PS5 is more worth

Mostly the same games, but PS5 has a few extra games and a few somehow seem to run slightly better on it.

[hardy geyser]

Ps5 is cheaper to

[fervent granite]

yeah but I really value the xbox's backwards compatibility features

although that really doesn't mean much if you haven't already got a library of old xbox games

[hardy geyser]

Ps5 has backwards compatibility with ps4 games

[fervent granite]

yeah but I'm talking about even older consoles

xbox can play 360 games and even some og xbox games

[hardy geyser]

Yeah

[jovial tide]

new xbox is good for emulation and backwards compatibility

[silent mason]

SO @devout plaza first of all, what CPU, GPU, and RAM do you have on your PC. You can use "dxdiag" from the Run window in order to get this info

The window for dxdiag will look a little bit like this

[drowsy lynx]

Curved or Flat monitor?

GIGABYTE AORUS CV27F 27

How is this?

[kindred temple]

depends, how much are you sold on the "curved is more immersive"?

[drowsy lynx]

I didn't understand 😅

[kindred temple]

I mean, a lot of curved monitors are made because they wrap around your field of view (the part of monitor that hits your eyes) better.

So it depends on if you think thatll be beneficial for you

or just a gimmick you can live without.

[drowsy lynx]

Well, I've never used a curved monitor... I dunno whats the difference between a Curved and a flat monitor. 😅

[kindred temple]

tl;dr: not much, just a tad immersive and compact to some.

[lilac heath]

Curve screens have better viewing angle

[drowsy lynx]

Oh okay

So can you suggest me some good 144hz 1080p curved monitor? Below 350$

Which ones better? VA or IPS

[kindred temple]

IPS is obviously better, but not worth cutting your arm and leg for it.

VA is a better alternative instead of the way older TN.

[drowsy lynx]

How is BenQ Mobiuz Ex2510

[jovial tide]

Ok i am going to start coding from today 😶

[jovial tide]

Not necessarily

Ips panels have slower response times

[jovial tide]

One of the best 1080p 144hz monitors at that price range

But it is quite expensive compared to some alternatives

[cold elbow]

anyone has some knowledge about these?

[kindred temple]

The latter is basically those g-sync thing people rave about. Basically locked framerates without the shitty lag that comes with it

[cold elbow]

i have G sync monitor and it's enabled

[kindred temple]

The former is the breakaway from the gaming mode iirc, basically moves the scheduling to the GPU for less latency in the memory side

But thats purely theoretical.

[kindred temple]

Then ya dont need to

[cold elbow]

i enabled it when i wanted to play horizon to eliminate crashes

but it used to crash other games so i disabled it

[kindred temple]

Yeah, its trouble some on nvidia because nvidia scheduling is pure CPU.

[spring condor]

So, our office gives lenovo laptops for work, and recently they brought in a new bunch of interns. They gave them gaming laptops cuz these were hefty and had LAN ports in them

That's epic. I wish I had a newer gaming laptop.

anyone familiar with auth.gg?

actually i have made my auth.gg form. but i don't know how to use that on my software. so it will prompt to sign in when someone opens my software.

[lilac heath]

[tall dome]

can I be reminded again about the RX 6800 XT? not many people talk about them

[drifting parrot]

is it normal that my hdd is at 90-100% when loading

[cold elbow]

Yes

@tall dome u can watch good reviews about it on hardwareUnboxed

[brave field]

Has there been any news about DirectML upscaling or AMD's FidelityFX Super Res? I've seen the DirectStorage stuff but nothing for either of those

[cold elbow]

FidelityFX is arriving to Xbox as well so that's promising since it will cover two platforms and games which means AMD is putting a lot of development into it.

[tall dome]

@cold elbow fuck, this guy said "today's shop price" and that was increased by 30% overall

so he was prepped to sell it around $1100

[cold elbow]

[tall dome]

guess I was too naive, it was the rare MSI one which I understand was priced higher

[cold elbow]

I mean it trade blows with a 3080

And a good one

[tall dome]

techcially better for me since most of my gaming is 1440p

3080 is slower in 1440p and only trades blows with their RTX on

Linux is so good

Could we please have a future where all software is usable in the average Debian-based distro and the few built-in Windows components that are useful have alternatives that have a GUI? (oh, and middleclick autoscrolling and optional drive letters too, please?)

Even for basic things like watching youtube and reading email, there would be so many benefits

Like having a performant system on a hard drive, or having a performant system with out-of-date hardware, or having a performant system with modern hardware

[fervent granite]

the drive letter thing kinda fucks with me ngl

I'd rather have everything under \dev\ or something

But also wsl2 gui's are pretty pog now ngl

[brave field]

as long as the letters are optional

oo we sharing pc's

let me grab mine

[brave field]

really just the name of the mount point for that partition. I know some people who would just quit if they had to type \dev\sda1\

how would that work though? would they be like symlinks?

has one of the worst displays I've ever seen too

The T440p is made to be almost fully modular though, I can replace it with an IPS panel but

[jagged belfry]

wait I forgot to send a pic of my set up all cleaned up!

i did hella cable management

[brave field]

Think of the worst display you've ever seen and make it 4x that bad

[fervent granite]

1024 x 768 tn?

[jagged belfry]

here it is!

[brave field]

1366 x 768, and while the specsheet says tn, its not comparable to most tn displays, or even "bad" tn displays, for that matter

it is by far the worst display ever produced, maybe beating out the Virtual Boy because it can show colors other than red

[jagged belfry]

for anyone wondering, my vertical monitor is actually a portable monitor

[brave field]

That is a REALLY nice setup, Lexi

[jagged belfry]

oh yeah!!!

[fervent granite]

those cables are cleeeeaaaan

[jagged belfry]

also yes i have 3 web cams lol

1 is personal and 2 are work

I just got the middle one to test out

since they have been sending 4K cameras to all new hires they finally realized that the new hires dont need 4K cameras lol

[fervent granite]

I just use my phone camera for calls, it's way better than the webcam

[jagged belfry]

yeah but i got a 4K web cam

crystal clear quality!

[fervent granite]

video calls

really overkill but if it works

[jagged belfry]

i mine I got my 4K one for free

So im big chillin

and I dont have to return it

its mine to keep forever!

CrAzY

[fervent granite]

I didn't even know they made those at that resolution, the last time I bought a webcam was during the vista era and those were crap

[jagged belfry]

lol

no they are better now

my personal one is a 1080p logitech

[fervent granite]

mine's a 720p facetime camera

looks good on paper but in practise it's so dark I have to turn on all the lights to be seen

[jagged belfry]

yeah web cams are better quality now

go get yaself one

[brave field]

The logitech one was the one you streamed here with?

[jagged belfry]

the 1080p one yes

my work one I got is a 4k logitech as well

and stream meaning stream to discord as that is all I use it for haha]

[cold elbow]

Rich people

[jagged belfry]

Nahhhh

[brave field]

Have a model number? That's really the first time I've seen a Logitech camera not be completely grainy

[jagged belfry]

far from it

and yeah give me one moment

logitech C920

[brave field]

thanks
$70 ow

[jagged belfry]

No problem!

[silent mason]

@jagged belfry 3 webcams. Dang. Though I can't talk... my camera setup for streaming is hopefully gonna be a pocket cinema camera 4k and like 4 micro studio camera 4k

[jagged belfry]

the middle one is just testing out for work

[silent mason]

Bear in mind each of those cameras costs £1K

[jagged belfry]

the left one is my work camera (though i own it now) and then the right one is my personal one

[silent mason]

And they don't even come with a lens.

[jagged belfry]

my 4k one from work I think was $200

damn

that sounds like an expensive web cam

[silent mason]

They're not webcams. They're cinema cameras.

But they do clean HDMI out with unlimited runtime so they can function as a webcam.

They'll be hooked up to an ATEM Mini Extreme ISO though, along with a HyperDeck Studio Mini, and two computers.

[jagged belfry]

Ohhh

that makes more sense

[silent mason]

Yeah, the most extreme of streaming setups. I don't even stream using my PC, I have the lower model, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO, for that.

[jagged belfry]

niceee

[jovial tide]

[clear vessel]

bro why are GPU prices skyrocketing

1660 supers are dang 700-800 dollars

[kindred temple]

https://youtu.be/3A4yk-P5ukY

[fervent granite]

They should just make more semi-conductors

ez

[zealous pasture]

they will just spoof up the prices

ez

more moni

[silent mason]

NVIDIA starts charging $10'000'000 for the 3070, and AMD does the same for their 3070 equivalent. With even the cheapest graphics card being $1m. That might kill GPU crypto mining though too, at the cost of only the wealthy elite can buy a GPU. Same for CPU. Even the cheapest CPU starts at $1m

[kindred temple]

Why the fuck does Airtag costs 30$ @brave field @fervent granite

The thing is neat but im a forgetful fuck

It might make me switch to iphone if they make a card version, and price it at 10$ or something

Because right now

That price is w a c k

[fervent granite]

That’s what I thought of about AirPods at first

That they would get lost easily and shit, but here I am a year later with that same pair

[silent mason]

I prefer using Tile myself. Don't think Apple could convince me with the AirTag

[brave field]

Plenty of AirTag alternatives that don't require switching, but the precision finding on the app will be missing with most

I'm surprised its just $30

Expected it to be closer to $50 or $60

[eager tapir]

How good is aura sync?

Like from a scale or Iclue being really good to MSI mystic light not being able to control individual colors

[cold elbow]

Aura is great and compatible with icue

[kindred temple]

Well i want that precision finding for a reason

I never lost things far enough for tiles to be useful.

[jovial tide]

All rgb software blows

[jovial tide]

Can someone help me find a semi good pc at a kinds strict budget?

[stone harbor]

whats your budget?

[jovial tide]

1 moment

[jovial tide]

612.75$

[stone harbor]

oof

you wont get much with that to be honest

[jovial tide]

True

[stone harbor]

you should probably save up a bit more

[jovial tide]

But i sont need much

[stone harbor]

for double that amount you get a 10x stronger pc

so i would wait

[jovial tide]

Aight

[lilac heath]

Get a gaming laptop

[stone harbor]

gaming laptops are bad

at least compared to desktop

[eager tapir]

Helpful

[jovial tide]

truth

[jovial tide]

save up double like he said

also we are in gpu shortage so stuff is hard to get

I was thinking of a prebuilt

I'm too incompetent to build one

[brave field]

If the shortage clears up before you buy, you should probably build even if you don't feel confident

Lots of companies offering prebuilts are scummy

uninstalling bloatware, fighting support reps over the severely shortened warranty they offer you, having to fight to not have them sign you up for a bunch of software free trials, and with some companies, like Dell, having to replace your hard drive every 6 months

it all gets pretty annoying

[rapid lake]

You forgot about PSUs being so fucked

That’s if they mention the PSU on their website

PC turns on, 10 mins later, kaboom

[silent mason]

And in the case of Dell, having to rush to purchase so you can buy a PC before it sells out, and them signing you up to a $9.99 subscription service for "warranty"

With LTT, he specifically told them he didn't want it, and they still charged him anyway

That being said @jovial tide if you're insisting on a prebuilt, don't get one from any of the OEMs (like Dell, Asus, etc). Look instead towards System Integrators like ibuypower and Chillblast - they have you select each component and will spec it up exactly to your selections. And where there's issues, they stay in contact with you throughout and make sure you get what you ordered.

[arctic yarrow]

Dell is the absolute worst prebuilt company #CMV

[jovial tide]

Uhhh

Imma pretend ik what ur saying

[arctic yarrow]

The only downside to that is they charge a premium

[silent mason]

Yeah, they do charge a premium, but so do OEMs (whom then skimp out on stuff anyway, at least with an SI you pretty much know what you're getting).

[arctic yarrow]

True.
