Think of it this way, the server master makes a session after matchmaking, tests each connection, sets a host then the host listens and the server on his residential connection's made.

If he leaves, game's paused for all, session manager (master) repeats the process to choose another host.

[worthy schooner]

So how's the information processed? There's a server / master and a host / listener. And aside from those, there's the other players / clients.

Clients move from A to B, it gets sent to the server / master and then...?

The monitor does not play sound

I turned it up to max and it wasnt making a sound

Now is this natural or an issue i need to fix

[brave field]

normal

set the output device you want in your OS

[charred otter]

Well you see

It's connected to my ps4

So i dont know how to that

I guess many modern monitors straight up don't have speakers at all anymore

Does yours mention them in their manual/box/listing?

[chrome lotus]

Anyone know stuff about wifi/networks

[jovial tide]

Igor what's the problem with it

[charred otter]

Looked although the manuals and it doesn't say anything

But there is a headphone thing in the back

[brave field]

That's usually just to pass audio straight from HDMI/DP/USB-C to headphones/speakers you plug into the monitor

[analog wharf]

im getting like half on the speedtest

[unreal iron]

Ethernet is as fast as it gets

[analog wharf]

huge loss lol

[jovial tide]

That should be cable

[brave field]

100mbps isn't referring to your connection to other computers around the world, that menu reports the speed of the connection to the router/switch you have

[jovial tide]

Usually fiber has no loss, and DSL doesn't go that high

[brave field]

You'll still get that 100Mbps sending a file between devices on the same network

to be fair about your ping

the ookla speedtest doesn't have a huge number of servers in the UK

your ping may be much lower for many things like Youtube or games (though, 30 is pretty common for non-speedtests)

[jovial tide]

Well Wifi 5 and 6 support it

simply 5 (ac) supports on 5GHz, 6 on both when router and card support the tech

Idk how to set it up for Pfsense sry

"click bios 5" shows the shitty gse lite bios that looks like a bios from 5-6 years ago

[cold elbow]

Because msi reverted to that in order to add more supported CPUs
After all the bios chip has finite amount of storage

Would take that bios anyday to support a new cpu that got released.

[analog wharf]

yea ik, they did that to support the 3000 series

[cold elbow]

Yeah i used ryzen 3600 on an msi b350 and it worked perfectly and also supported a lot of ram modules.

There were even ram overclocking presets

[analog wharf]

Im using the r5 1600 anyways

[cold elbow]

That was my old cpu

Overclocked that thing to 3.9 on stock cooler.

And a 2400 cl16 ram to 2666 cl14

[analog wharf]

i think you can downgrade i mean upgrade to click bios 5 if you have a 1000 or 2000 series, but haven't yet to find a bios update that has click bios 5 on my specific mobo

[cold elbow]

U wont really get anything extra by downgrading

[analog wharf]

yea, but i just like the click bios 5 feel more

it seems so much more modern and easier to navigate lol

[cold elbow]

Debatable

The only easier thing is the fan control tbh lol

[analog wharf]

gse lite kinda looks old though

[cold elbow]

Its a bios

U apply your settings then forget about it

And its always better to run the latest AGESA possible

Especially for these early boards

I miss when EVGA used to give reviewers PSU models before release

The EVGA BA500 is $30 right now, and not a single review exists to say if its a CX550M equivalent or an EVGA BBQ/BR equivalent

[lost fossil]

more like

EVGA CBA

BBQ

[brave field]

After 6 of their models were outed as fire hazards and they got caught faking their 80+ ratings, they sorta had to stop sending review models if they want to keep their good name

Its right in my budget, but I don't think it'll hold up

[cold elbow]

I haven't seen any reviews on my current c750 PSU from NZXT which is basically a Seasonic.

[crude jewel]

is it ok to buy laptops for gaming with rtx?

[lost fossil]

you don't need an nvidia rtx card to be able to launch video games

an amd rx card is well enough

[analog wharf]

1060 3gb gang

[crude jewel]

i mean im getting a rtx laptop which is obv better than rx but my question is if buying a laptop is worth

or should i just save for a pc?

[analog wharf]

depends

do you need the portability?

[crude jewel]

kinda

[analog wharf]

like what do you do?

[crude jewel]

gaming, animating

more gpu intensive works

[analog wharf]

eh

is gaming on the go your thing or na?

[cold elbow]

TL;dr
If you want to game DONT BUY A LAPTOP.

[crude jewel]

kinda

[analog wharf]

gaming laptops are ok, but the batteries run out faster than the flash

[crude jewel]

but i have a stable connection at home so cant play competetively on the go

[cold elbow]

No they are not ok

[analog wharf]

they work, but yea the batteries run out super quick

after only like 3-4 maybe 5 hours of constant gaming you have to charge the battery again

[crude jewel]

ive seen laptops getting hot and then thermal throttling which is why ive avoided them

[cold elbow]

They are expensive
They tend to overheat
Heavy
Shit battery life
And gets outdated too fast.
Cant be used as a good gaming setup or a good laptop for whatever else.

[analog wharf]

also true some do overheat

[cold elbow]

Relsell value is also terrible

[analog wharf]

but they work

[crude jewel]

how about i dont want to do some very heavy gaming but just work?

[cold elbow]

U better off buying a cheap laptop for school and work
And an xbox series S for the rest.

[crude jewel]

i just dont want to game

animations also

[analog wharf]

by cheap i hope you dont mean one of those shitty budget £100 - £300 ones because those choke when you try to open more than 5 chrome tabs

[crude jewel]

im pretty sure a cheap laptop wont do that

i have a good budget ig

like 2k

usd

[cold elbow]

2k straight to the bin if you buy a laptop.

[crude jewel]

[analog wharf]

yea those shitty budget laptops choke when you open more than 5 chrome tabs

[crude jewel]

lol i cant just sit for prices to go low for building a pc

[analog wharf]

and take like 2 minutes to startup

[crude jewel]

uh

so i should save?

[analog wharf]

• by the time you download one game the drive is pretty much full

[cold elbow]

U just add more than 4gb ram

[analog wharf]

dont buy laptops, desktops too that are £300 or less

[cold elbow]

I bought a 200$ acer aspire 3 laptop for my friend
After a while slapped an ssd and 8gb ram to it
Costed like 60$ and now it's a great machine

She does school work and works as a content creator with that thing

[crude jewel]

can u just tell me what should i get for 2k usd

[river mauve]

can it run 60 fps on GTAV?

[jovial tide]

Gaming laptops are crap

You're always sacrificing something to get gaming

[crude jewel]

i dont just want gaming though

[jovial tide]

(Power, Thermals, Money, Design quality, Battery, etc)

[river mauve]

well yeah old laptop is

[analog wharf]

yea but with no upgrades like i said those shitty budget laptops choke when you open 5 chrome tabs and the drive is full by the time you download your first game

[cold elbow]

Maybe u should start by telling us your usage and condition

And budget

[jovial tide]

There's always one or two of those factors missing

[cold elbow]

Choke with 12gb ram????? Bruh

[cold elbow]

She plugged two monitors to it and using all what she wants of tabs and software like adobe photoshop and it's family

The laptop with upgrade costed 260$ ......

[analog wharf]

probs you should just save up for a good pc lol

[cold elbow]

So u wanna waste the rest of your money... up to 2k only for it to be a "gaming laptop"

[jovial tide]

I've been there ☝️

Got lucky Dell accepted my return

[river mauve]

I use my homework with Samsung DEX. It works great but I didn't need a laptop

but I need one for gaming

[analog wharf]

whats your budget?

[cold elbow]

Exactly most of our use doesn't need a gaming laptop

[river mauve]

I managed to save for like $600

[cold elbow]

I use a tablet for school mostly

[jovial tide]

You only need a gaming laptop if ur a bum

lol

[river mauve]

lol

[jovial tide]

To easily pack up and move with it

[cold elbow]

For that u get a miniATX desktop

[jovial tide]

Melon I looked

Couldn't find 11800H + 3070 anywhere

[cold elbow]

Ryzen

[jovial tide]

Interesting

Cause as far as I knew miniatx = intel nuc

[cold elbow]

No

Wtf

Nuc is too expensive

[jovial tide]

I haven't seen anything good like that anywhere

[analog wharf]

yea, you might get a decent setup for that price if the games you plan to buy aren't very intensive

[jovial tide]

MiniATX designs are great

Also, most chinese miniatx pcs are based on nuc architecture

[cold elbow]

U buy a miniatx board and psu

Find a cute case

And put everything together

[jovial tide]

Hmmm that's risky I think

Also, aren't miniatx boards come with laptop form gpu and cpu?

[cold elbow]

5600x with a noctua low profile cooler

[jovial tide]

Man I'm R word sry

[cold elbow]

There's a new case that is really cool by coolermaster i think

[jovial tide]

Miniatx, my motherboard is miniatx

[analog wharf]

just dont expect to run newer games (basically anything less than 3 years old i would say at max settings without getting some very huge frame drops every now and then because you wont be getting a beast setup with $600)

[jovial tide]

Dude what is max fps?

2x 3090s?

[cold elbow]

Which one is smallest mini or micro atx?

[river mauve]

Alright thanks

I'll try to save up some more

[jovial tide]

@cold elbow I mixed it up with Nuc form factor

[cold elbow]

Fk the nuc

[jovial tide]

Umm isn';t it miniitx?

[crude jewel]

alkright tyty

[analog wharf]

Yea if you play very intensive games you will be getting some huge frame drops every now and then with a $600 setup, better you save up until you have enough money to get a setup with atleast a 2080 maybe 2070/2060 or the amd equivalent, atleast a 1st gen ryzen or the intel equivalent, atleast 16gb of ram, atleast 1tb hdd storage and cheap 100-200gig sata or nvme ssd as boot drive which will definitely be way over $1000 for sure

[radiant breach]

i used to game on an e-machines

[analog wharf]

the motherboard/bios dont matter that much, you will go in the bios maybe like 1-2 times to enable xmp, mess with fan control and enable virtualisation if you ever plan on using a virtual machine for some reason but try to get a mobo that supports 3000+ mhz ram

also sometimes on older boards you will need to bios update to use a new cpu on new boards you shouldn't have an issue pairing with a new cpu

should just work right out of the box

lmfao

[junior flax]

hello

so im looking into overclocking my i5 4690k

my motherboard is a Z97P i have no clue how to do this shit

😂

its currently running at 3800mhz

[brave field]

Grab HWiNFO

get some stats on your current load temps and where the CPU puts its boost clock generally

after, you can head into BIOS and start moving your clock speed/multiplier up slowly, saving, resetting, and testing for stability

when things get unstable, you'll need to raise your CPU's voltage with it, a bit (much slower than your clock speeds, going too far causes FAST overheating and potentially, damage).

[junior flax]

This is the link?

Just wanna make sure

[brave field]

You can probably get something around 4.3ghz with yours without a huge amount of tweaks

yup

[junior flax]

i believe i was running at that before

however in july when installing my ssd and changing boot drive i had to reset bios due to a fuck up

and i never got around to re doing it

@brave fieldok so

i dont know what the fucks going on here

too much

[brave field]

sensors only

[junior flax]

ok i will re run it

[brave field]

click the button to spread the view into more columns, else it'll be super super long, and then take a look while you're doing the most demanding things you usually do on it

[junior flax]

again way too much for me

[brave field]

just look for the CPU section

[junior flax]

idk wtf all this is sorry 😂

ok i found cpu

ill minimize all the other

[junior flax]

ok after this am i looking at the temps?

and stuff?

sorry if im an idiot

[brave field]

This guide will likely help you more, I'm awful at explaining things https://www.overclock.net/threads/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics.1411077/

keep your eyes on the temperature, the software-reported voltage, and clock speeds, yes. Also consider checking your motherboard's VRM temps. Once you know what's up, you can start raising the multiplier bit by bit in your BIOS. Optionally, you can use Intel XTU without having to reboot, but you'll still want to set it in the BIOS once you're done with testing

[junior flax]

thanks

[brave field]

cheapest

If "None" is a lot cheaper than the next cheapest, go with that. Its easy to get a Windows license for $20 or less, entirely legally, within Microsoft's Terms (Note this requires a =>8GBUSB drive and possibly physical access to another PC)

[vernal bloom]

Oh

Some1 told me not to get window from here and just buy the window key activator

[cold elbow]

Or

Just download it for free

U don't need to activate windows

IT'S FREE FOR FUCKKK

[brave field]

Free functions indefinitely, but you violate M$' terms using it for more than 30 days, and you won't have many personalization features

and that watermark...

[cold elbow]

U can remove all that by registery

Its

Free

And fk ms terms

[brave field]

You can but you're not supposed to! Be the good citizen!

(you're right, and financially that is indeed the best option)

Still, try to grab a key out of a scrapyard prebuilt somewhere later on, if you can

Windows 7/8 OEM keys activate just fine in 10

[vernal bloom]

Kl cuz i just want to get the pc, unbox it and connect the wired, setup my acc and start downloading games and not doing that window sh$t

[cold elbow]

And enjoy the bloatware

And outdated drivers

[brave field]

The device you're currently on, can you write to a USB drive on it? (Is it a non-apple device?)

[vernal bloom]

I have hp with window 10

[brave field]

perfect

All you need is an 8gb or larger USB drive and this https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

Then you can use that on the USB drive, install windows yourself, for free, and you're good

[vernal bloom]

So i plug that 8gb usb to my hp and download window 10 @brave field

: One day i started my xbox and went onto borderlands 3 bc I'd recently bought it and was grinding it
My game crashed after loading for like 5 minutes so I re tried it like 3 times n it still kept freezing, i googled why this happens n its been happening to xbox users for some time now

A few days go by of me playing diff games n i try n hop on battlefield v

For some reason it wouldnt load me into a game.. I was weirded out and thought

Tf

I asked my gf n she said the same stuff happened to her xbox before it broke

I tried to do a offline system update n it well

Didn't work

So I can't play most online games

I can play gta but, my radio in game doesn't work, npc dialogue, and cutscenenes are buggy n delayed

[lost fossil]

sounds like xbox one experience

[jovial tide]

Yesh

Never has it happened before

[lost fossil]

are you able to take out the hard drive, put it in the pc and check it with crystaldiskinfo or smth?

[jovial tide]

Taking out my xbox hard drive is a big nonp

No*

[lost fossil]

[jovial tide]

It's covered in a lotta stuff

• motherboard

I tried fixing my controller once n made it 20x worse so

[lost fossil]

probably overheated to death over time

[jovial tide]

I doubt me going at the xbox is a great idea

The heating is fine

I have it in enough space n what not

During summer it started to heat badly so I'd keep off it most of the time

Buying a new one anyway but I'd like to know how it d I e d

[brave field]

hard drives fail naturally

There's really no way to tell without taking it out

[jovial tide]

I see

[brave field]

It might even be fine, and its just the Xbox software acting up
Or Microsoft put a used drive in yours instead of new, anything could be the cause until you're able to get it out and see

[jovial tide]

I see

Is computer science a good career? Is it high paying or something?

[civic cloud]

lol

[proven kernel]

[gray yarrow]

Yes it is in most areas. If you're looking into coding stuff then I'd ensure you go into it out of passion for coding etc as a lifetime coding, designing and testing will get boring

In my country (UK) lowest job I found was front end web dev which was £20,000 annually entry level

[manic remnant]

any idea what could cause this

[gray yarrow]

Ooooof

Faulty cable of port?

Need help finding a gaming laptop For warzone, Forza 5, gta 5/rp and Fortnite good very good graphics £600 plz with bigger screen min 15.6 and above

[analog wharf]

you aint finding a gaming laptop with that budget

maybe save up like 100 or 200 more and you might be able to get a prebuilt that can run at medium/low settings but seeing the state of prebuilts, pcs in general tbh too you have to be lucky asf

and some prebuilts aren't even disappointing just funny

i dont really like prebuilts but not all prebuilts have 2021 gpus paired with cpus 500 years old

or the other way around, not all of them have 2021 cpus paired with 500 year old gpus

but if you are willing to scroll long enough yea you'll find some funny crap

Ok guys I have a fucking huge problem and I need everyone's help who is actually serious about helping, my xbox recently shit the bed it wouldnt turn on it only made very faint sounds when I tried to use the power or the eject button this is a first gen xbox it is the one that came out like a month after release maybe not even anyways o thought because of it's old age it was broke I took it apart cleaned it made sure everything was put together and it turned on but the controller kept disconnecting randomly everytime I tried to play with it so my friend let me borrow his and now it's doing the same thing it wont turn on only making faint sounds and I'm not taking it apart until he gives me the go ahead so what the fuck is causing this

[kindred temple]

Yeah its not dust issue at all

Either PSU in which youre fucked, get a new one

Or its the issue with the HDD being dead

[timid nymph]

But none of those can be the case because my xbox I took apart and put back together is working fine it just wont keep my controller connected

That's why I dont wanna take my buddies apart because I dont want the same shit to happen to his even tho he already has a xbox one series x

Also it randomly makes a faint sound while it's in this state

Like it's trying to power on randomly but cant

[timid nymph]

[fading atlas]

trying to install and confugure nginx on a ubuntu server in school but when i do "sudo systemctl status" it says degraded, is that bad?

[brave field]

You need to check why it says degraded

Might be some stupid Canonical-telemetry.d failing, might be something legitimately problematic, could be a harmless message being logged as an error

@fading atlasRun just systemctl and it should show which service has the problem

[fading atlas]

mfw I realize it was just a symbolic link I had misspelled

[brave field]

o

[fading atlas]

teacher removed a link in "sites-enabled" to "sites-available" and then added it back but I misspelled it as sites-abailable

[brave field]

abailable, ack
small typo on a symbolic link is good though

[vernal bloom]

can anyone help me find a gaming laptop for warzone and gta rp £600 new (argos, curry, Hp

[oblique aspen]

Hey does anybody know any good pc to buy i play gta and plan on making videos I live in Australia and have never played pc before

[brave field]

Budget?

[oblique aspen]

2 grand probs liek at a very push

[brave field]

Hmm

How available are the RTX 30 series in nearby stores there?

[oblique aspen]

I can check I’m in QLD Australia

[brave field]

Being able to get a GPU is the hardest at the moment, the rest of the PC can be done for $800 or less. If getting the GPU at a good price is impossible, you'll sorta have to skimp on the other parts

[oblique aspen]

Ok so what the main stuff I need to make my pc run good

Buy Scorptec Hailstorm RTX 3060 Gaming PC | Ready to Run PCs | Scorptec Computers

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/ready-to-run-pcs/gaming-pc/88082-ss-hail3060?gclid=Cj0KCQiA8ICOBhDmARIsAEGI6o35g1V1X9d39lIQWqUblEJ8qk9WAxmn2l7sFMxdCHFvoenSx1yxUF8aAsppEALw_wcB

Is this good

Am I allowed to send that link in this group chat

[brave field]

For playing GTA, not much, just decent singlethread speeds. For video recording, definitely an RTX GPU, for their hardware encoders. The rest likely doesn't need anything much more from those

You can send links here. That system looks good, but is likely very overpriced

[oblique aspen]

Wait so what do I want for smooth gta

[brave field]

A PC without the GPU (like this https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/bHK3nL) is under $800. Noting the 5600G/X being $100 more and the board being some $20-$20 more, this puts the 3060 at $1000 in that prebuilt, which you can probably get for cheaper in another prebuilt or with stock notifications

[oblique aspen]

I just want to play games smoothly

[brave field]

your budget is more than enough for smooth games, that's not an issue really

[oblique aspen]

Oh what

Is 1 grand good for pc to run games

Cause I just wanna play games and be able to store a lot of games

But not to many

[brave field]

We're currently in a situation where prices are the worst they've been in a whole decade, but yes

[oblique aspen]

Oh god that’s good news hahaha

Ok

[brave field]

arguably you could go lower than 1k AUD if we weren't having production/stock/pandemic problems right now, but its pretty bad atm

If you have the higher budget, its worth, since cheaper parts aren't being produced at all

[oblique aspen]

So just look for these types of parts in a prebuilt and buy it

Oh ok right Thankyou

[brave field]

Look for the cheapest thing you can find in your preferred store with an RTX 3060, 3060ti, 3070, or higher in it, and send some links

nothing else will be as important as finding a GPU, they're 3x-4x their normal price. That PCPP link shows just how insignificant in price all the other parts are in comparison

[oblique aspen]

Ok Thankyou I shall look now and get back to you in this chat in 5-10 minutes ?

[brave field]

ye

[oblique aspen]

Ok

I don’t know what shops to check

I checked jb hi fi

Harvey Norman

They are all way expensive

[brave field]

Not in Australia so I don't really know much about the market, but are these sites accessible? https://www.ple.com.au/ https://www.scorptec.com.au/ https://www.pcbyte.com.au/ https://www.bpctech.com.au/ https://www.jw.com.au/

[oblique aspen]

Yes and I will try now

[jovial tide]

How to find a GPU

Find the cheapest prebuilt with the card you want then that ☝️

Also graphics card are more expensive because of chip shortage, don't expect to find for MSRP unless you have a miner best friend

[oblique aspen]

Is an rtx 2060 bad compared to the 3060 for what we talked about @brave field

[brave field]

Not bad, but it should be significantly cheaper if you're considering

[oblique aspen]

I’ll check it

Will it effect my game play

Cause I just want a pc to play games and some what make YouTube videos

[brave field]

Yes, the 2060 is weaker than the 3060

Its still more than capable of running everything out right now

[jovial tide]

Overpriced I think hmmm

[brave field]

Comes out to the GPU being a bit over $1100 AUD, nah

[jovial tide]

With 1950AUD I bought 3060Ti + B560 + 10400F

[oblique aspen]

From where and is that good

[jovial tide]

I'm in Canada, I bought from Newegg

But you can find 3060s on newegg and build on top of it

[oblique aspen]

Oh

[jovial tide]

https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=3060+Ti

[oblique aspen]

I would build pc

[jovial tide]

I think building is more logical

[oblique aspen]

But idk what to put in it

[jovial tide]

Cause imports (as a whole) have more tax on them no?

[oblique aspen]

Like what stuff do I put

[oblique aspen]

No idea I’m new to pc and cookie is helping me decide on what to buy

[jovial tide]

Right now intel would be 11400F + B560 + the 3060/3060Ti

Or 2060Ti/Super if you can find

AMD would be 5600x + B550 + the graphics cards above

You can also try building stuff here https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/

[oblique aspen]

Oh yeah cookie built one before for me I think

I will try build one now based on you and cookies suggestions

[cold elbow]

the best just because of that case
idc about price or specs

[jovial tide]

We can summon the other insert functional name here

And ask him xd

But as far as I know, Australian import taxes are way too much

[oblique aspen]

Yea

[jovial tide]

Anyways, as Cookie said look for graphics cards; both second hand market and the websites

This is what cookie sent

Is it good

I trust him but as many people say yes the better

[brave field]

That PCPP link shows just how insignificant in price all the other parts are in comparison
GPU goes first, entire rest of the system second

[oblique aspen]

Ahhhh

Got it

So I choose a GPU then build around that

[brave field]

yes

get your hands on the closest to a decently-priced RTX GPU, and worry about the rest later
Same with prebuilts, care about GPUs first

[oblique aspen]

Ok

I would want to buy a pre built thoe

I think

I think

And it’s easier and the more I learn about pc and more educated I get is when i would build one

[jovial tide]

I found 3060 OC for 1000 on Amazon

I think you can get the rest for 500-600

I like this one a lot

Have I sent it yet

[jovial tide]

It's a bit overpriced I think

[oblique aspen]

Is this good for playing games thoe?

Like gta

[jovial tide]

Like you can put that 3060 OC (1000$ Amazon AU) with the rest of what we said for 1600$

[oblique aspen]

What is OC

[jovial tide]

And if you don't know how to assemble, either watch videos or ask a pro to do it for you

Overclocked by factory

[oblique aspen]

I’m confused

[hearty stirrup]

any pc over 1k will run everything fine as long as its not one of those gt 710 builds or 1050

[brave field]

OC = marketing

don't worry about it

[oblique aspen]

I will assemble it or get a store for me

Does anyone know something similar with a RTX 3060

[jovial tide]

AMD RX6700/RX6600xt

[oblique aspen]

No I mean does anyone know a cheap prebuilt with an RTX 3060 in it

[jovial tide]

This is one I can think of https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/XRFTbh

[oblique aspen]

That’s the final question

Sorry if I’m annoying

[jovial tide]

Nope it's fine

Pretty much same price, better CPU, better graphics

[oblique aspen]

Ok

And is that a complete build

Ready to run

[jovial tide]

And here's the card you should buy asap

only 3 left

[oblique aspen]

What is a power supply

Is it seperate

To the pc

[jovial tide]

These are the parts you need to get, yes all of them makes your whole case as in tower

Then you'll need a monitor

Keyboard and mouse. and done.

[oblique aspen]

Ok

Welp Thankyou a lot @jovial tide and @brave field

[jovial tide]

🤝

[oblique aspen]

Seeing the RTX is 1k

I cannot purchase that right now

Haha

I will buy the pc next year and send a pic when I get it Thankyou very much

[jovial tide]

Oh next year everything will be different

You might also wanna look into GTX 1660; this shortage is gonna last, so taking time won't help much.

[brave field]

oh yeah, next year none of this will be relevant

Really in just 3-4 months things are going to change quite a bit

[oblique aspen]

Oh well I’m broke right now

Welp that’s great 😩😪

[jovial tide]

I don't have my hopes up

They'll say shortage, price of 2060, 3060, and 4060 will still be similar

Miners are gonna buy in mass; therefore GPU shortage as well.

[brave field]

worse is still change

also 12400 + boards and such

[oblique aspen]

Unless when my mum wakes up I ask how much I have in savings

[jovial tide]

That's the good side

[oblique aspen]

If I have any

And if she lets me spend

[jovial tide]

Like my prediction is board+cpu+rams will be better but for gamers it's gonna get worse.

It's gonna be great for repairshops thought 😉 and miners as well. people will start buying second hand cards a lot, and fix them alot too.

[brave field]

[oblique aspen]

Well I’m going to ask mum when she wakes up and I’ll text you guys pics if I get it one day cya have a good day thanks for all the help 😁

[brave field]

GPU situation isn't getting any better though, ye

anytime friend

[jovial tide]

Think about it Cookie

You can find lots of good prebuilt "shells" and miner cards that won't last that long.

[brave field]

Of the 4 largest increases in mining so far, none of them have resulted in hardware that doesn't last long

[jovial tide]

I'm thinking making a company specializing in GPU repairs would help a lot.

Idk I've seen some people having problems on reddit

[brave field]

Nothing in 2012, nothing in late 2015, nothing in 2017, why now?

[jovial tide]

Well covid + china's scheduling + harder and harder and harder hashes

[brave field]

harder hashes just means you'll need to use a stronger GPU to complete it quickly, it doesn't push already running ones harder

[jovial tide]

Exactly

So they will sell the older ones, like their 3070s, 2060-2070s and so on to replace with newer cards

Besides, these sell for considerable amount + don't have warranty

[brave field]

seeing no connection between durability here but hopefully Nvidia has relatively poor sales in 2024-2025 and start making budget GPUs again

[jovial tide]

Umm, connection is the warranty

Putting a warranty on top of a device is a calculated decision; usually it starts to break after.

And I don't mean not working, degrading by a lot is a part of it.

[brave field]

Still not seeing how miniscule degradation on a card that functions like-stock is going to cause an instant increase in repairs for cards under 5 years old, but not having warranty is unfortunate.

Nvidia is going to keep prices high regardless of how consumers act

[jovial tide]

Nobody does really

Like if I bring a card that used to do 1900MHz now barely does 1600MHz max to a repair shop; they would say this is working no problem with it.

But is it?

[brave field]

300mhz drop is definitely not like-stock

[jovial tide]

Yeah but it works

[brave field]

I think the dump of used 1060s/580's in the market once budget RTX GPUs are going to bring that sort of change though

[jovial tide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhlt3QoTStI

[brave field]

They're legitimately older and under heavier use, but with how boosting is handled, it's probably most visible through power consumption

Testing Games regularly fakes videos, nah

[jovial tide]

See, the card above for example

is running at 86 degrees after 1.5 years; repaste + changing pads would help it a lot

[brave field]

Note the complete and total lack of information regarding mining here

[jovial tide]

It says this

[brave field]

nothing?

They mention the word once

Mining what currency? What temps? What clock speeds? What memory speed? What mining program? 24/7?

[jovial tide]

Oh we don't know

[brave field]

This could be literally any GPU running underclocked as more bait for blogspam websites

[jovial tide]

We just know this card tried to make hashes at maximum capacity maybe

[brave field]

For ~5 years mining programs have been automatically undervolting Nvidia cards and decreasing difficult if the GPU's core temp goes above 70C

[jovial tide]

But as a large scale miner why would you care?

[brave field]

but there's no stats here, not even a full sentence to point at it being mined on

[jovial tide]

Like people are still gonna buy it at a decent price, and deal with the problems themselves.

[brave field]

as a large scale miner you wouldn't care, so you wouldn't go out of your way to recompile with the automatic undervolting disabled? What do you mean?

Its infinitely more work to damage a card than not to

[jovial tide]

Yes you can clean the fans periodically, do maintenance; but let's be honest most of these cards are replaced within if not right after 2 years

If I had mining farms, I wouldn't bother limiting the performance by temp

2 degrees below maximum temp is fine + undervolt to make it more profitable (for me)

[brave field]

Nobody would bother limiting, its automatic and built in by default. Not saying there's no chance of damage somewhere of course, GDDR6 temps going into the 100C range, while entirely safe, is still worrying

but this video has 0 credibility, from a channel that routinely fakes their benchmarks, hard to use that as a source

Between lolminer/TeamRedMiner/NanoMiner/NBminer/the mining distros decreasing difficulty on their own >70C and memory doing most of the work for ETHash-based coins, why would core damage be so likely on cards used 2 years as most?

We're also missing stats on when Monero was mined on GPUs in 2017, when XMRig didn't bother to limit hardware if temperatures got high. There's a complete lack of posts or videos about GPUs or CPUs running at lower frequencies from there, why?

@jovial tide Do you have info on how long a card has to be at max temp while overclocked to be damaged?

Closest I've found of anything reliably reporting GPU damage ever was when Nvidia and AMD started limiting Furmark in their drivers, since it pulled too much power though the PCB and annoyed the traces when overclocked. If you have more sources, could you link, so I could read?

[jovial tide]

See

The answer to why comes back to use, a gamer would play like some hours (me maybe 2-4 hours a day) vs a miner would use the guy to its maximum 24/7

And that gamer sometimes gets into trouble, RMAing or repairing his card. so I wouldn't be surprised. Why? I don't know really.

[brave field]

I wish we could pass this to someone in a spot to get this research info

[jovial tide]

That would be great, that would help a lot

Like after all the videos after "should you buy gpu from miners" we still don't know.

someone both with experience mining long-term and experience testing cards to the fullest. Outside of personal anecdotes on questionable forums and LTT/GamersNexus going "Yes, mined on GPUs are safe" a few years back, we have nothing but the r/pcmasterrace "I got a DOA card and I'm 99% sure it was mined on in the factory and not just a defect. I'm not going to file an RMA, be mad for me and spam ASUS' twitter!"

[jovial tide]

LTT said the problem is cooling

If the miner doesn't keep their cards well cooled they will degrade; and because of lack of stress to the GPU (constant hashing) they are less likely to be dmged

[brave field]

A straight "Worst case scenario" study with a poor bin (opposite of winning the silicon lottery-type) before and after running a consistent workload on its core with findings being recorded monthly for 4 years would be interesting

Even with LTT/GN conclusions, the conclusions are just so limited. LTT mentions currencies that have never been GPU-mineable or Bitcoin, which stopped being mined on GPUs back in 2014, and GN didn't go very far into what the workload was

Comparing Furmark to mining, what does it even achieve

[jovial tide]

I wish I knew the answer

But the general thought about everything sold is, if it's used industrially; it'll get dmged more (and that's why warranties expire if they figure out it's used for industrial purposes)

[arctic yarrow]

Doesn't mining treat cards better than gaming, since thermal stress from heating up and cooling down isn't a factor?

Obviously, you would need to clean, repaste, and change thermal pads, but I think after that's all done, the mining card would last longer than a gaming card, assuming they didn't overheat the memory.

[brave field]

The fans can take a beating depending on the model, but that's a pretty accepted take. Thermal cycling is bad for surface mounted components on the PCB

[arctic yarrow]

Mining causes cards to run 24/7, so there isn't any thermal cycling with the exception of occasional maintenance.

[brave field]

yupyup

[arctic yarrow]

Personally, when I see massive rigs with a ton of cards all mining, I don't think "oh, they're ruining those cards." Instead, I think "Wow, he's contributing to the already worsening gpu pricing."

[jagged lark]

Is it ok to not understand what the code is saying

Reading the C++11 4th edition

[brave field]

which part is confusing? I am terrible at explaining, but I can try, if you'd like.

[civic cloud]

youre first defining two functions (double and void thing) then write your actual program which uses those functions

[arctic yarrow]

I'm a python scrub, but I think the square(double x) function does the arithmetic, the print_square(double x) prints a string with the output of the function square(double x), and the main function calls the print_square(double x). Correct me if I'm incorrect.

[civic cloud]

im glad we agree

[brave field]

double square(double x) accepts any number with the double type and multiplies it by itself
print_square(double x) prints "The square of {the number you entered as x here} is {the value of x squared here}"
The main() function says to run print_square() and pass 1.234 as x

main() runs first, gets to print_square(1.234), where it prepares the string "The square of 1.234 is," executes square(1.234) and gets 1.522756, and then throws that onto the end of the string. "The square of 1.234 is 1.522756" is printed, and then main() finishes

Or I'm completely wrong and am misguiding you and suck

[arctic yarrow]

I have very limited experience with c/cpp, only having to work with it on some simple arduino projects.

[civic cloud]

damn cookie out here explaining every single detail

nice edit

[brave field]

I absolutely hate that they just put "x" everywhere

[arctic yarrow]

I only have experience with python and assembly.

[civic cloud]

whats wrong with using x everywhere in this case

[civic cloud]

imagine not knowing C

[brave field]

I dunno, I feel it would be annoying tracing what x is referring to if you aren't used to it. A tasteful "doubleToSquare" or something could be easier on a basics guide, no?

[charred otter]

So before i buy this thing would it work?
What i plan to do is buy a usb hdmi adapter and plug into my laptop and then into my monitor and have both my ps and laptop on the monitor also would the speakers from my laptop work aswell or no?

[civic cloud]

should work, except maybe audio

[arctic yarrow]

Does your laptop not have an HDMI port?

[charred otter]

No

[charred otter]

I might have to say fuck it and get a speaker aswell

But then where am i gonna plug my mouse into

I'd have to get a splitter and have numerous ports

[arctic yarrow]

What type of USB ports do you have on your laptop?

[charred otter]

The regular ones

Not c

The other

[arctic yarrow]

Actually, screw it, pull up "system Information" and let us know what the "system model" is.

Please

I'd like to see what I/O options you have.

[charred otter]

It's not near me

But i can do it as soon i can

[vast nimbus]

anyone talk about math in here?

[charred otter]

Depends

What kind of math?

[plucky raft]

Nobody

[vast nimbus]

pure math

[charred otter]

Define that exactly? Algebra? Geometry? Calculus?

Trigonometry

[vast nimbus]

Yea, sure all of those. Not sure how to define, but not something having to do with physical things in real life like computers or bitcoin (code)

[charred otter]

Oh im sure someone here would be able to help but that's out of my area of expertise

[arctic yarrow]

There's occasional trigonometric and calculus questions that pop up here.

[charred otter]

Im more geometry and algebra than anything

Way too dumb for all the advanced shit

[arctic yarrow]

You kinda get forced into it when going for a CS degree.

It's gotten to the point where it's second-nature though.

[charred otter]

Im thinking of going for Informational Technology

But if not maybe Marine Bio

[arctic yarrow]

IT definitely requires calculus. Not sure about marine bio, but you will have to do chemistry.

Hey Skizz, how do you eat corn on a cob? Side to side, or rotating?

[vast nimbus]

just tag me for those questions bros

[charred otter]

Why?

[vast nimbus]

I'll tell you after

[charred otter]

I haven't had corn on a cob in years

So i dont remember

[vast nimbus]

You don't have some like, drive to eat it one way or another?!

[charred otter]

I

[arctic yarrow]

I grill it, peel it, lather it in butter, then eat it with my hands grabbing on the ends.

[vast nimbus]

With your hands how, though? In rows or spirals up down?

The butter and grilling sounds delicious btw

[arctic yarrow]

Doesn't matter.

[vast nimbus]

bruh

[arctic yarrow]

The key to a good corn-on-the-cob is grilling it while it's still in the husk.

Keeps the moisture inside.

[vast nimbus]

google "corn algebra analysis", i can't post links

basically if you like calculus more, you will eat it in spirals, and if you like algebra more you will eat it in rows (like more = more naturally inclined)

and it's not a joke. literally everyone i've ask in math falls under these two if they do either field

[arctic yarrow]

I just don't put any special meaning on eating corn.

[vast nimbus]

but the meaning is in the organization

like how you choose to fly under bridges in gta or whatever if you're not just copying a guide

[arctic yarrow]

I just.... fly under bridges in the same way. I don't attach any meaning other than the satisfaction of flying under that bridge.

[vast nimbus]

i agree with you there, just can't find a great analogy on the spot. the pattern in which you do meaningless things sometimes is meaningful. not the thing itself

[arctic yarrow]

Maybe there is a set pattern to it, but I never actively think about it.

I never remember it.

[vast nimbus]

i don't eat corn enough to remember either, tbh. i just know what my answer was a long time ago and remember

[arctic yarrow]

My brain automatically marks it as irrelevant.

[vast nimbus]

makes sense

[arctic yarrow]

Now, doing specific patterns for min-max reasons, those are relevant.

Hell, I even min-max coding via patterns, using subroutines.

best settings for low end pc on gta online dm3

[brave field]

normal everything, high texture, directx11, no grass/AA/post processing/motion blur?

[arctic yarrow]

There's a mini displayport on the right side, use that for video output.

Use a mini displayport to hdmi adapter.

Works much better than a usb 3.0 to hdmi adapter, and frees up one of your two usb ports

On top of that, displayport provides audio too, and works with a DP to hdmi adapter.

[charred otter]

Fuuuuuuck

I bought a USB to hdmi adapter already

[arctic yarrow]

ouch

[charred otter]

Can i still use it for what i intend?

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, but you'll be limiting yourself with your usb ports

Are you able to try returning it though?

I'm not sure about amazon return policy, but places like walmart and best buy have a 15 day return policy iirc.

[charred otter]

Eh

Dont need the usb port anyways

[arctic yarrow]

Alright. Well, I don't recommend doing anything like gaming on it, but watching videos should be fine.

[charred otter]

That's all i want

Is to be able to watch youtube on my monitor

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, then you should be good.

[jovial tide]

So I am needing help every time when I click on gta from steam the rockstar logo shows up but it freezes then it says error??? idk what that means but I'm trying to get help and I don't want scammed and i don't wanna have to pay money PLZ help thank you

[charred otter]

turns out it isnt even a usb

now im def gonna have to tell me dad we bought the wrong and get the right thing

i have no fucking clue what it is but it isnt a usb

unless it is a plug for display port

cuz it said hdmi to display port

which i never noticed

[brave field]

trying proxmox

setup is difficult and being begged for money the second I open the web interface is awful

but GPU passthrough is so simple! And audio in KVM! and NoVNC integration!

@cold elbow This normal? Using Icue for my cooler and the pump is spiking like that

[cold elbow]

There a lot of settings for the pump i guess and it depends on your temperature target

One of the settings supposed to be the change in speed delay

And i just noticed that the range on that chart is too small so u shouldn't care
On the other hand it might be a lot of speed

[analog wharf]

lmfao

oh shi

LMFAO not good

rip vm

[sour marsh]

wtf

HA

got a snapshot

[arctic yarrow]

Oh, yup, that won't physically work. You need mini displayport to hdmi.
