That looks pretty awesome

[tribal violet]

Ikr

[whole verge]

@tribal violet Had to clean up first

[tribal violet]

Ooah Very clean

Where's the PC at

[whole verge]

Hiding under the table

[tribal violet]

Show ittttt

[whole verge]

It's a black case

[tribal violet]

So? Show it

[latent aurora]

very neat setups there

[tribal violet]

Other than the colour change. This is mine up-close

[latent aurora]

if I show my desk, you'll puke around 🤣 its supa messy

[tribal violet]

[whole verge]

Why do you think I had to clean up first?

[latent aurora]

🤣

alr lemme clean up

[tribal violet]

No RGB? Shameful

[whole verge]

I don't see my PC anyway, so no need for it. But I got RGB Ram (because they were cheaper for some reason )

[tribal violet]

Bet you turned the LED's off too ey?

[whole verge]

That's possible?

[latent aurora]

That's my (quick-cleaned) setup

and yes, I have a christmas ball on my mic arm 🤣

I found it and decided to not bring it in the basement to the other decorations

[tribal violet]

What brand are they?

[whole verge]

I didn't even notice

[whole verge]

Corsair Vengeance

[tribal violet]

So, install Icue's software - https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/downloads Then whenever you get into it, Select RAM at the top, Go to lighting and Hardware lighting, Can remove that particular one or manually change the colour

[whole verge]

I can't even check if it actually turns off

[west phoenix]

Good choice of mic

[celest nova]

Nah use OpenRGB

[tribal violet]

[celest nova]

iCue, RGBFusion and anything else tend to crash PCs or even interfere with anticheats... gone through all of them

[tribal violet]

Never had an issue with Icue

[tribal violet]

Yis

[spiral yew]

Joschi each piece of RGB give you an extra 5 fps in ets/ats

[whole verge]

True, I forgot that

[thorn heart]

nice pc

[hard pike]

My god, pog

[thorn heart]

ikr

but 3070 is good nody

ik ppl who r using the 1070 still

[tulip mica]

for now i'm just trying to assemble something decent

[hard pike]

it is good but idk how long it's gonna do the work.

[thorn heart]

yes it won't be max settings at 1080

[tulip mica]

going to work in like 2 months

[thorn heart]

but you will be good with medium for a long time

but my case is different

[hard pike]

I mean I feel I'm future proof for at least 5 more years if my set-up stays with me in decent condition.

[thorn heart]

mine isn't a new system

more of a mild refresh

cuz i'm gonna redo the entire thing in 4 years

[tulip mica]

budget of 1600 euro

and honestly i just need something for like 5 years or so

[thorn heart]

yea

but the next one is probs gonna be the best gpu paired with the best cpu cuz imma keep that one for about 7-10 years

[hard pike]

it shouldn't die otherwise, I'll have to just get a new everything. Though in most cases, it'll be one issue at a time so a GPU or a CPU. Guess imma manage.

[thorn heart]

did u get a used gpu

or was it new?

[hard pike]

brand new, yep

[thorn heart]

yea

so as long as u kept it clean n stuff

u should be good

it may need new thermal pads l8r

[hard pike]

It's for cooling, right?

I recently put in a new thermal paste for the CPU.

[thorn heart]

yea

but u should be good for quite some time

as long as it runs clean

and if u wanna be even more safe

undervolt it

[hard pike]

ah, I will have to check as how it's done.

[thorn heart]

yea

and a bit of underclocking is good too

overall less power draw and less performance

[hard pike]

yeah am fine with less performance haha

[cobalt ice]

Give me some case suggestions because i need to replace my h510 elite (its shit)

I have to leave the side panel always open

[agile ermine]

Fractal design makes some good stuff overall, Corsair as well

depends of what you're willing to pay for a case, but there's a lot of good stuff in the 100-150€ range

[cobalt ice]

I heard lian li is nice

Im just really worrying about how hard it will be ti transfer the parts

I need to put new thermal paste for now

Ill do it after tmp9 comvoy ends

[agile ermine]

if you have issues with thermals, first thing is to pick a case that doesn't have a solid front panel... Lian li makes some nice stuff, the o11 has a very good reputation (you just need to get some fans with it). Transferring the parts shouldn't be too much of an issue, you just have to check the compatibility with your motherboard format, gpu length and cpu radiator height

[cobalt ice]

My motherboard is ATX

so it should work

[agile ermine]

but that's usually only an issue with small form factor cases

[cobalt ice]

Even with the air series if im not wrong

All my stuff is pretty compatible

ill check which o11 i have to get cuz i got full atx sized psu

[agile ermine]

yeah, the o11 air seems to be a good case, and there shouldn't be any issues as long as you choose the standard version

the mini variant might require a sfx psu, though

[cobalt ice]

Yeah im aware of that

Linus tech tips video hehe

[agile ermine]

nope, even the mini accepts an atx psu

[cobalt ice]

Oo

Dimensions from each psu might vary tho?

Ih yeah i see atx works

Not sure about mobo

Doesnt it have that thing that extrnds it?

For atx motherboards

[agile ermine]

yeah, atx works, but some ATX psus are longer, so ou should be careful with that

[cobalt ice]

Ill check my dimensions

[agile ermine]

at least atx motherboards always have the exact same size

[cobalt ice]

Ya

wanna try replacing the cap on my last mobo

this should be fine

right?

[spiral yew]

you have a 50/50 chance of it working

[mighty idol]

yeah

if it's work then.....I got spare motherboard

if it didn't then......

[fleet crest]

hmm would it be of any benefit if i install windows 11 through a media creation tool or would it not work?

[mighty idol]

well, you need to setup the os all over again

[fleet crest]

tbh i dont really mind since i havent installed any games yet.

but is it possible to uninstall the OS from the larger drive and install in the other drive?

Actually

might be a good point tbf, i would have to install the wifi again and the graphics card software

and last time ive installed the wifi ive had to use an ethernet to setup windows 11

[mighty idol]

if that was me, I just clone the drive tbh

almost indentical to the copy method

[fleet crest]

might do that.

as of rn windows 11 is installed on a 1TB drive and i also have a 250GB drive on my PC. i want to move windows 11 to the 250 GB drive then reserve the 1TB drive for programs and software.

if i do clone windows 11 to the 250GB drive, would i still be able to use the 1TB drive? is it still possible to remove everything from the 1TB drive once ive moved everything to the other drive?

actually im debating between either moving windows 11 to a 250GB drive or to buy a new 2TB SSD or HDD and keeping windows 11 in the original drive

[spiral yew]

ash i have the OS on my 500gb m.2 and games on my 2tb SSD

[mighty idol]

yeah, you could just do a format

https://youtu.be/jZBDluCITmE

this might be a lil old...but might be useful

[fleet crest]

it worked for a second! i managed to move the installation to the other drive

but now i did a major stupid and somehow windows 11 wont start again.

what i might do rn is to download a media creation tool and install windows 11 from the usb instead.

ive probably lost some data already but i havent got anything important in it

bruh my net is shitty

[celest nova]

Time to get away from AM3 I'd say

I would recommend going B550/B660. B450 not worth it, recently heard that those boards have many issues

[severe sage]

With the amount of b450s out there the amount of issues probably seem higher than they actually are. I think they're still a solid choice if you're on a budget but b550/660s do have their benefits

[celest nova]

yes exactly

Multiple people and friends that work on fixing those all have the issues of the board working when the CPU is not inserted, with CPU inserted they won't power on. From 1st Gen up to 5th Gen, no luck of it working.

[agile ermine]

some b450s are bad, many other have zero issues

but at least b450s were cheap even when new

some good b550 boards aren't too expensive, though, and something like a ryzen 5 5600 should do a great job for cheap. Don't ignore intel if you have a higher budget, though

[flat grove]

I'm sure that not everyone has already heard about this issue, but there is a severe Security Vulnerability (Backdoor) out of factory in a lot (several hundred models are mentioned) of Gigabyte MBs. (Not only Consumer, also Professional and Enterprise MBs are affected)
For some models it seems that there is a BIOS/UEFI update already available which addresses this vulnerability
https://eclypsium.com/blog/supply-chain-risk-from-gigabyte-app-center-backdoor/
The pdf linked in the article contains all affected models (currently over 700 affected MBs)
Also in the pdf the dots are missing (e.g. rev1.0 is listed as rev10)

[mighty idol]

lmao gigabyte

still no getting better these days

Although msi isn't exactly great in other areas....

it all depends on the products after all

the only asus computer we have in the family failed 2 months after buying it, took 3 months to get the gpu replaced while it was clearly the issue since the beginning

So far msi has been decent but contrary to what many of you guys have said asus has done pretty well for me. Definitely not saying the company is good though hehe

I have a problem with my acer gaming laptop. Well.. i was making that problem. I spelled water.. and I had problem turning it back on, i guess the pc didnt want me to, to prevent damage. But anyway then pc started after a while, and ran into automaticallly repairing. but the problem I have now the "preparing for automatically repair" is stuck at loop, so the pc will not go next scene. The pc turns off automatically so I have to turn it back on. I tried to run in safe mode to troubleshoot but there I have same "preparing to repair" problem. Can it be fixed to try replace the battery? or another solution?

recently my ps4 is going “bzz bzz” when i connect the cable to power it 😂 anything i could fix that

like it only zapps when i connect it, i don’t think it makes a zap sound in it after it’s connected

[mighty idol]

might be just psu issue

like my tv adapter also making that noise

yo my friend installed a hdd and ssd from his old pc and now he isnt getting any display. can anyone help?

[hasty marlin]

Have they set up the drive with the OS as primary?

Jsu tasking because windows should pick up the drivers and software during updates for the display

[pliant comet]

Is the display connected to dedicated GPU(if available)? Usually the iGPU isn't active in most motherboards. @hidden fiber

[hidden fiber]

@hasty marlin @pliant comet Got it fixed, turns out he didnt seat the ram right. idk why he removed it but it was only halfway in. Thanks for the help tho 🙂

[hasty marlin]

Didn't realise it was a full build of sorts. Would have suggested is everything connected properly lol

[hidden fiber]

yea i tought so aswell but turns out it wasnt

[hasty marlin]

Best to start out with the easiest problem first.

Been years since I built a rig, just game on laptops now

[mild pendant]

Hello! I could use a little help cause im a bit lost:D. Any laptop recommendations for university students? Im going to learn traffic engineering (guess thats its english name)

[grizzled crow]

is it for general work

[mild pendant]

Its just for learning and such, but will need to be able to handle CAD

[grizzled crow]

the uni should have something where you can get laptops on a discount

but ideally a quad core or more

[mild pendant]

And should i get something with a normal gpu so not just integrated?

[grizzled crow]

ye

depends what cad you want to use

like autocad doesn't need a decent gpu

just needs a decent cpu

[mild pendant]

Im a rookie so i saw that its in 3d but i heard its autocad if thats possible

My friends who are going to the same uni but a bit different major are bought like asus zenbook pro, they recommended that for me also

[grizzled crow]

is that what we had?

[mild pendant]

im sorry but wdym:D

[grizzled crow]

i meant he

not we 😛

[mild pendant]

yeah

and he says that he likes it and will be enough, his brother did the same major recently as he so i guess they know quite well

[grizzled crow]

ye

its better if you have people who have been in similar books

Anyone know good settings for wheel? Adjusted my wheel due to it glitching, it works fine now but only the brake pedal works? Using a t300 RS gt

[pliant comet]

Are the pedals assigned to appropriate in-game control axes? Also, make sure that the mode switch on the wheel is set to "PC". @opaque marten

[opaque marten]

Wouldnt let me, bit yeah it's fixed now

Firmware update fixed it

[grand atlas]

guys i need to change my gpu (sapphire rx580 8gb nitro) with nvidia cards

i have i5-10400f

what is the best gpu optimized for my cpu?

[spiral yew]

are you using desktop or laptop?

[grand atlas]

desktop

on laptop it’s impossible to change the gpu

[spiral yew]

you also need to make sure your PSU is enough to handle the GPU you end up choosing

[severe sage]

Honestly most graphics cards will work fine with that cpu, it mainly comes down to your budget and as jeepguy said, psu wattage.

A good middle ground would be an rx 6700xt/6800xt from personal preference though.

[grand atlas]

yep 850 watt

it’s enough

[grand atlas]

okok thanks

i can handle max 600€

[severe sage]

Rx 6800xt is probably best then. If you want nvidia, a 3070 ti would be a good shout.

[grand atlas]

okok thank you

guys

[spiral yew]

also make sure it will fit your case cause the AMD rx 6800xt and 6900xt are thick bois

[grand atlas]

yes yes i’m sure

[spiral yew]

i'm gonna have to google translate that

[severe sage]

It's not bad, but for that budget I'd think you could perhaps get a i7 13700k and maybe even a 3090/4070 ti if you find a good deal somewhere. Of course I'd always suggest building it yourself if at all possible

[uncut scarab]

Im not that into building it myself, hence buying prebuild

[severe sage]

Yeah that's completely fine, I'd always make an equivalent spec machine to the prebuilt you want on pcpartpicker before purchasing so you can see if it's a good deal or not, I'd also highly recommend you check the power supply is good quality as well.

[uncut scarab]

Thanks for the advice!

[grizzled crow]

its okay

I can get it for 2560 tho, saves me about 400

whats leuw

[uncut scarab]

Not a fan of AMD

[grizzled crow]

ryzen is like op tho

upgraded my laptop and pc from intel to ryzen this year

well pc was a while back but upgraded to a better ryzen cpu this year

[severe sage]

Both companies are good, I also personally prefer AMD but I can see why people would pick intel and nvidia over them

[grizzled crow]

laptop is ryzen and nvidia and laptop is amd and amd

[proper field]

That is extremely expensive for what it is

Last gen GPU, last gen CPU, not a lot of storage

I think for that price you could squeeze in a 7800X3D which is the best CPU for gaming at the moment and a 4080 and a lot more storage

https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/qspV34 For example, for about the same if not less even

And 2tb of storage and new generation parts

I'm in love

Ong

The only good part is the rgb😍

Is that true tho?

[spiral yew]

Yes it's true the more RGB you have the better your FPS will be

[neon nebula]

Honestly no. I'm sure you can do better than a GTX 1650.

[celest nova]

tbh way to bloated with things the pc doesn't need.

Also, where the heck is airflow anyways lol

[neon nebula]

Right?

Lol

Nah, it's just full of outdated hardware tbh. You gonna struggle to run any AAA game on that thing, unless you don't mind running the games in potato mode

[celest nova]

its just again this marketing bullshit

you see ROG, MSI and RGB and think its fast

but its not

Saved money on the wrong parts

honestly could have been a cheap ASRock mobo, good 3600MHz RAM, good GPU and good CPU

And why the hell even 10th Gen?

So many things wrong about that thing

[neon nebula]

May as well save yourself money and build yourself. These prebuilds are just overmarketed lowend bs

[celest nova]

indeed

i mean thats more like a custom built one, but it is from a pc builder

[echo magnet]

Yes but I can always upgrade

Plus I'm not good at this stuff yk

[celest nova]

nah please dont

dont go from that standpoint

its dumb to upgrade this from the get go

[neon nebula]

Yup

Don't be like me and buy a prebuild with GTX 1650. It's not worth it and the upgradability is hard with the outdated components and their compatibility. Either find a better specced pre-built, or do your research and build one yourself.

[severe sage]

The second hand market is also a great place if you want to save some money, found some great deals on ebay and such

[neon nebula]

^^

[celest nova]

Getting cheap Ryzens with RTX 2000 (if they work lol) or RX 5000/6000 series is pretty easy nowadays.

Though I wouldn't go NVIDIA even used. RTX 2000 suffers from great memory issues due to stupid Micron VRAM.

[spare bridge]

Is a modular psu worth it? First time builder, really don't wanna mess with cables but also have limited budget

The evga nova 650 gt which is 80+ gold

[agile ermine]

I'd say it's not a priority, especially if you're on a budget, but a lot of good power supplies are modular anyways so you don't always have the choice

you can also look for semi modular units, they might be a bit cheaper and it will be the same thing because the non detachable cables are required anyways

I consider modular PSUs as a nice extra, just so you don't have to jam all the cables in your case, but I'd rather have a robust non modular psu than a crappy modular unit for the same price

[spare bridge]

hm

Ill look at semi ones then, thanks

[spiral yew]

i have a modular cause you only use the cables you need and can disconnect all the cables and move the PSU around without fighting every cable especially if you do a case swap

[severe sage]

I'd say semis are perfect for your situation, especially if you're not using cable extensions. Most of them don't cost much more than non-modular anyway.

[sinful monolith]

modular are a lot easier to work with when building

[celest nova]

Tbh on a budget on the first place you dont differenciate between modular, semi modular or non modular PSUs.

Always go with the PSU Tier List (https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/). After that, if you have said money, choose semi/modular PSUs and there ya go.

Like in my opinion I would even buy PSUs with non modular cables if its better with the price, since well; if the case is big and you won't see the cable mess because of cablemanagement freedom, why even care. Think smart and choose what fits the most for you

[cobalt willow]

How the hell do i move that to the bottom left of my screen

Also ignore the "moderate traffic " report that was an accident by me while trying to figure out keybinds

That's Trucky yeah? Then you need to go into your Trucky setting and adjust it

Most have theirs in the top right, you can also add a keybind to show/hide the info so it doesn't cover your mirror.

[celest nova]

what ports do you have on your gpu/mobo (if igpu present)

depending on what, go with that. You can get some 19 inch or 24 inch for as low as 10€ nowadays.

[spare bridge]

a 24 inch monitor for 10.90 usd??

[unique tartan]

used ones

probs

[celest nova]

yep

I mean, nobody in their right mind would buy a highpriced monitor only for use of text/discord/spotify

used is way smarter and indeed better for your wallet & the environment.

Heck, I even bought some PC parts used again. Ryzen 5 5600X for 90€, MSI B450M Gaming Plus for 50€ and a nice bequiet! Pure Rock 2 Silver for 23,90€.

[wicked acorn]

I'm always a bit afraid when it comes to used hardware, they might try to sell components that aren't functioning at 100%, and by the time I realize it, it might be too late

When you buy something new, you always have something protecting you, either a refund in the next 30 days or a insurance for 1 year or more

But yea, this is me as a noob

[celest nova]

I can understand that, but mostly that's just the fear which makes you reconsider otherwise. Most of the time there is no difference in buying new or used hardware, mostly you need to watch out like with coolers or psus that all the parts & cables are present.

In other cases like CPUs, Mobos etc. it is the same thing, but never had anything fail on me which was specified as working.

Recently I bought a defect GTX 1080 for 50€ and back then also a RTX 2070 for 115€, after reflowing them they both work. Never failed me ever since.

[wicked acorn]

I mean, then selling person to person, after you give them the money and they give you the hardware, they can say that it's working fine and when you test it, it doesn't and they never respond to you ever again

That's what I'm kinda afraid of, being scammed

[celest nova]

That's why warranties exist. Atleast not the warrenty you know when buying new, but the statement that it did work and he needs to verify as is that it is working, so that you don't have a failing product. Nonetheless, never had that happening once that the arcticle won't work as described, only got scammed some times through fake listings. With that I just used PayPal or eBay's buyers protection and easily got my money back.

Btw. what the hell is this Verified role, I synced my Discord Account ages ago and can't get this god damn role.

[wicked acorn]

Did you connect your discord with your tmp account?

[celest nova]

yea like 2-3 years ago

but when trying to get the linked role it just gives me an error message. Posted a ticket already, so gotta wait on a response with that.

[wicked acorn]

Oh idk then, it went smooth with me

[vagrant blaze]

You’d be surprised

It’s quite common to use a second monitor for just Spotify/Discord

[celest nova]

huh what

I didn't even say that nobody would use it xD

I said that you shouldn't waste money on that, even a 19 inch display is enough

[vagrant blaze]

?

You said nobody in their right mind

A lot of people use a second monitor for Spotify and Discord,

[vagrant blaze]

It’s better to get a nice monitor that’ll last you a while rather than a cheap one

[celest nova]

read my messages there

[vagrant blaze]

I don’t mind about what you said underneath

[celest nova]

wtf

used is way smarter and indeed better for your wallet & the environment.

[vagrant blaze]

Never mind you obviously don’t understand.

[celest nova]

are you just ignoring the context or what?

just because its cheap doesn't mean its worse, even if its used

[vagrant blaze]

Dw about it

[celest nova]

I really don't get you, because you don't seem to understand a context nor an example of "paying 10 bucks". Clearly mileage may vary

[celest nova]

like my messages didn't imply that nobody would have a second monitor for Spotify/whatever else, my messages on top haven't even worded anything like that

[wicked acorn]

[vagrant blaze]

There’s different types of monitors OLED, VA etc then you have the frame rate as well, also some people like having matching monitors or specific brands so in some cases buying second hand won’t work. So your comment “no body in the right mind” doesn’t really work.

[celest nova]

Thanks, finally an explanation, that would've made it easier understanding you

[vagrant blaze]

I was busy irl so took a while mb.

[celest nova]

and in that case you're completely right

[celest nova]

What NVIDIA GPU that's better than a GTX 570, doesn't need external power, and is like 30-50 used on eBay is the best?

[celest nova]

GTX 970s can be had for that price now.

For 50USD atleast

[spiral yew]

don't the 970 need a extenral power or is that the 980's?

[celest nova]

Ah well im dumb, thanks for saying that

They need one 6-Pin atleast

[spiral yew]

it's alright i was think the 970 needed external power

[celest nova]

Ye ye, was a little bit missaligned on that

Well, GTX 750 Ti can be had for like 30usd, those dont need external power

[spiral yew]

i was thinking there isn't many cards out there anymore that don't need external power

[celest nova]

yea

Atleast not in that price range xD

[left frigate]

I’m thinking of getting an 40 series card

I still use a 3060

But I’m thinking to upgrade it to an 4060 or 4060ti

[severe sage]

I'm assuming that's £200-300? There's quite a large price range for 34 inch monitors

[severe sage]

You'll see little performance improvement going from a 3060 to a 4060, I'd highly suggest you get a better 30 series card than go to the 40 series. Or even look at what AMD is offering at the moment.

It's slightly above that price range but I'd probably look at the aoc 34 cu34g2x, it's a pretty excellent all rounder.

[left frigate]

Hmm

I’ve got a 550w psu

Can a 3070 handle it?

[severe sage]

Depends. According to the specification it needs a 650w psu, but you would probably get away with a 550w one if it's a good unit. I'm not saying that's a good idea as it will put more stress on your psu and could lead to unexpected shutdowns but if you wish to risk it should be possible

[left frigate]

Hm

[celest nova]

The problems that will go with a 550W PSU will be the spikes. While it will fit into the power budget, the spikes could trip the PSU.

And well, I'd advise to go AMD tbh, 40 series up to 4070 is just trash imho, way to expensive and bad price to performance.

[finite fern]

Jo

[shy robin]

Hi, I recently upgraded to a 3060 ti expecting to max out ets settings. So: is it "common" when fps drop down all the the way to below 30fps (1080p monitor (!)) when there are hardly above 30 players around me? Is it the game or do I really need another better gpu (I really don't think so)? At duisburg service I get 19 maximum.

[severe sage]

That's completely normal, with a 6750xt I barely get above 30 in busy areas. It's because the baseline code and game engine isn't really designed for that many players/trucks and truckersMP is not perfectly optimized as it is a mod after all. If you check task manager your gpu utilisation probably doesn't go above 30% most of the time in duisburg. Nothing you can do about it sadly

[shy robin]

Thanks, alright then. I was confused hearing people have 60 to 80 fps in calais or smth when that can only be possible with average to low density.

[severe sage]

Most of them are probably exaggerating their fps, unless they're all rocking 4090s which I doubt. There are a few methods to improve your fps though and I'd suggest for a concise guide you should look on the forums, plenty of people have the same issue and have some meaningful 'fixes'

I mean R9s are furnaces but nonetheless, no problems with them

[mighty idol]

talk about RX500, does anyone got RX570/RX580? from sapphire to bo specifically

just want to know how's the temperature doing

[spiral yew]

If the card is out of warranty you could always open it up and put fresh thermal paste on cause i did that with my old 1080 ti

Before i replaced the thermal paste on my 1080 ti

[frozen mantle]

Mmmmm crusty

[spiral yew]

I've been using a 6900xt

[mighty idol]

I've replaced the thermal paste and also the thermal pads....and yet it would thermal throttling like crazy....well atleast after I undervolt it's still controllable

might need to invest in better thermal paste 🤔

[spiral yew]

Are you sure the fans are working?

[mighty idol]

yes and it was loud

it might be due to the rusting heatsink that the cooling is not efficient anymore, but I'm not sure

back when I bought it, it was a mining card, and so the heatsink is full of dust+oil and I didn't clean that oil resulting in the rusting heatsink

[dry flax]

i have a problem : on a lot of games: my shadows are extremely noisy (also motion blur is noisy btw). does anyone know how to fix this ?

[celest nova]

ye I think maybe your cooler might be broken

because it doesn't sound like failing fans nor bad thermal paste

heatsink might have lost its flat surface or mounting efficiency

[pliant comet]

Replacing the thermal paste is one thing that could fix cooling issues. Cleaning the heatsink and the fans will also improve thermal efficiency. Thermal paste and heatsink itself won't do much if there's no airflow going through.

and wtf, comparing a RTX 4070 Ti with a RTX 4090 is like comparing a pear with an apple

RTX 4070 Ti is utter trash compared to a 4090 lol

[quiet vessel]

Not rlly. There’s no visual difference between the two. The 4070 is almost at the peak to what humans can notice a difference.

Anything further is useless and us humans simply can’t see the difference.

[celest nova]

Nah definetely not,, never heard of something like that you wouldn't notice

I mean, the lows and such in games or anything else are way better on the RTX 4090

[quiet vessel]

Nah. Even when the 4090 first game out. They all even stated there is literally no difference other than the price tag

The difference isn’t worth the massive price tag on it. And it isn’t noticeable enough for me to desire that upgrade.

[celest nova]

okay well for that I am with you, but that's generally 40 series in a nutshell

prices like hell and no performance for the price if you could say so

[quartz cape]

for video rendering is the 4090 more then better then other 40 series.... and 3d work as i do too....

[agile ermine]

first, userbenchmark is absolute dogshit

second, that's a 4070 Ti and not a 4070

[quiet vessel]

Ik what it is

[agile ermine]

third, the 4090 is still far ahead of a 4070 Ti

[quiet vessel]

There’s no noticeable difference

[celest nova]

there is

[quiet vessel]

If I turned on 2 computers next to each other and loaded up the same thing there would be no difference in the slightest

[agile ermine]

and fourth, if you think there's no noticeable difference, then you should stop playing with a 720p monitor

[celest nova]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L15mSj26En0

[celest nova]

you would

even if you think the highs are not noticable, the lows also change

which you will notice

whilst having a 30 fps low on the 4070 Ti, you have a 52 fps low on the 4090

which is incredibly more

[agile ermine]

yeah, not only the lows will be very noticeable, but the difference between 60fps and 100-120fps is also noticeable

[celest nova]

because in the 0-60fps range you'll notice the most, let alone 60-120fps or more like @agile ermine says

[quiet vessel]

None of this is sounding it being worth $1000 more 😭

[celest nova]

we didnt say that

We said that it is noticable, which is the argument.

It has nothing to do if its worth it, but it well is noticable

[agile ermine]

of course the 4070 has a better price to performance ratio

[celest nova]

nah not really lol

[agile ermine]

didn't say it was good

but it's better than the 4090

[quiet vessel]

If ur willing to pay that price for a itty bitty performance boost then go for it. But to me. There’s no noticeable difference

[agile ermine]

that doesn't change the fact that the 4090 is faster by a huge margin

[celest nova]

yep

[agile ermine]

and not by a "itty bitty boost"

[celest nova]

i think we're talking past each other lol

[quiet vessel]

I’d rather wait till the 50 series comes out to get an upgrade from the 4070 TI. And even then I’d be questioning if it’s worth the upgrade.

[agile ermine]

like, the 4090 is twice as fast

[celest nova]

We didnt say we'd pay the price, but the difference just is there

Ye well I don't get my hopes up on the 50 series

either im gonna stay with my 3070 or finally get it away and get an AMD card which does have the VRAM... my GPU is literally bottlenecked by VRAM

was a huge mistake to buy lol

[severe sage]

3070 is 12gb right?

[celest nova]

artifacts in most games, even though I reach 60FPS, but VRAM is full and it just can't work

[celest nova]

8GB xD

[agile ermine]

yeah, 8GB

[severe sage]

Ouch. No wonder.

[celest nova]

Can't play Forza Horizon 5 on best settings, the GPU itself (Core) can (60+ fps) but the VRAM is just filled

which causes artifacts and wrong textures

I hate it...

[agile ermine]

I've litteraly had 8GB of vram for the past 7 years 😂

[quiet vessel]

Would it not be better to just get another gpu so u have 2 on ur machine

Better then spending an extra $1000

[celest nova]

Nah, that's way to expensive

and it won't work

[agile ermine]

was great at the time, but when I upgraded my 1070 ti for a 3070 ti, it's always a bit disappointing to not have a vram upgrade

[quiet vessel]

U can have more than one gpu on a system

[agile ermine]

having 2 gpus is useless for gaming

most games aren't compatible

[celest nova]

I mean I'll never get the 899€ back of the 3070, but I'll try my best selling it for the best price possible and getting like a RX 6000/7000 GPU

[agile ermine]

and most gpus aren't compatible either

[celest nova]

my X570 doesn't have two x16 slots either

since you'd need something like Threadripper or X299 for that, for proper 2 GPU operation, because they do have the bandwith

nonetheless performance is bad

[severe sage]

2 graphics cards in 2023 is rare though.

[quiet vessel]

That’s not what I’ve heard but sure

[celest nova]

It sure is

[quiet vessel]

Bc they’re so expensive

[celest nova]

SLI and CrossFire are discontinued

that's the reason

because stutters are bad

[severe sage]

The performance is usually worse than having only one card

[quiet vessel]

Have u tried it?

[agile ermine]

...what ? my b550 does have two 16x lanes and it's mATX...

[celest nova]

That's GTX 970s in SLI

[severe sage]

On a very old machine yes, when sli/crossfire was a) supported and b) actually useful

[celest nova]

No it doesn't, it has the slots but the second X16 slots is electrically X8 or X4

so it doesn't work

look in the slots for the pins, they're not all in there

[agile ermine]

what's the board, out of curiosity ?

[celest nova]

X570 Aorus Pro

it has physically X16 slots, yes, but not electrically

[quiet vessel]

So ur basing its performance on an old machine using old components and not the modern day equivalents with all the changes and modifications that have been done

[severe sage]

Trust me, the performance will be terrible with huge power sraw for no reason.

Most games don't even support sli

[celest nova]

Modern components don't scale with it, because A the technology doesn't work with the newer GPUs, B the stutters are way higher than back then and C no game is optimized for SLI/CrossFire

My screenshots are from 3DMark, thats one of the rare occasions of SLI working

two GTX 970s beating a single GTX 1080

400W power draw vs. 180W

[agile ermine]

yeah, that's right, my second x16 slot is only x4, but the product page on the MSI website is extremely unclear

[severe sage]

I'm pretty sure asus released a 4060 without a full length pcie slot, it looked so cursed.

[celest nova]

. thats my sli setup btw

[celest nova]

PALIT did aswell

and well, if NVIDIA safes on the GPU, what else should the manufacturers do xD

[agile ermine]

PALIT and Gainward

[celest nova]

here btw, now verification did finally work yaaaayyyy

[severe sage]

On another note the concept of an m.2 slot on a gpu was pretty cool

[celest nova]

technically this SLI setup isn't ideal aswell, since both GPUs run in x8 mode

[severe sage]

Is that running a core 2 duo?

Actually that might be a bit newer

[agile ermine]

even in x4 im pretty sure it would be fine, if these are 970s...

[celest nova]

Nah, GTX 970s with a Core 2 Duo won't work xD Rather GeForce 7 or 8 Series.

That's a Z87 Extreme4 with an i5-4690K

[severe sage]

Oh much newer then hehe

[celest nova]

nah, they would bottleneck as hell, remember 3.5GB VRAM dilemma

[celest nova]

ye, i mean what a surprise

[agile ermine]

AI business is very profitable

[grizzled crow]

i have an onlyfans

[flat grove]

what are your thoughts on the new RX7800XT / RX7700XT that AMD announced yesterday?

[celest nova]

Really good

I mean, competing with the price of the 4060 Ti, very good

[mighty idol]

I can only afford an RX570 and I love it so I have no words

[flat grove]

in that regard, sure, but i feel like the 7800xt not so much faster than the predecessor 6800xt... but let's wait for the benchmarks in the release week

[agile ermine]

the 6800 XT vas already way faster than the 4060 Ti, though

I'd expect the 7800XT to be at least on par with the 4070

no, in fact the 6800XT is already competing with the 4070, from what I've found, so the 7800XT should definitely be a fair bit faster

[quiet vessel]

Are there any good recommended button boxes out there for these games?

I’ve seen this when I google and this is pretty much the only one out there I’ve found. https://www.simpanel.com/ats

[hidden shell]

Here's one
http://derekspearedesigns.com/button-controllers.html

Or this one
https://www.apexsimracing.com/en-ca/collections/button-boxes-1

[quiet vessel]

These are built for racing sims?

[hidden shell]

It doesn't matter, you assign the buttons to do whatever you want, that's what I did

[spiral yew]

i can vouch for the DSD button controllers they don't come pre-programmed so you can program them to what ever you want

[quiet vessel]

The website shows up as not secure though

Makes me not want to trust it 😂

[spiral yew]

i've bought a box from them

[quiet vessel]

Perhaps. I’ll consider it 😊

Thanks!

[spiral yew]

i have a basic button box from DSD

yea i don't even see the box listed on the site that i have

it's been that long

[quiet vessel]

I guess so. I might get the simpanel one tho as it comes with preset names. I havent played these driving sim games long so it gives me an idea of what buttons I’d need to setup

[quiet vessel]

Oh also. If I have 3 monitor setup. Would I be able to set up the screen so I can see out both side windows using the outside monitors?

Or would it just be a very elongated version of the normal view?

For ETS2 or ATS this is

[spiral yew]

you need to activate that feature in your gpu program

i believe it's called eyefinity for AMD and surround view for Nvidia

[hidden shell]

Give me a few minutes and i'll show you how it looks with 3 monitors

[quiet vessel]

Thank you 🙏

[quiet vessel]

Ooh that’s awesome!!!

[hidden shell]

Argh...20 Gig update, stand by
