have fun to have many fps in ets 2

[pulsar cipher]

in mp 3090 not help 😄

[mighty idol]

[sand valley]

why u dont need more than 60 fps ingame

[latent aurora]

I kinda dunno what I should think about that... I thought w10 is the last OS but just with updates

[dusty timber]

Remember how Microsoft hated Linux

[latent aurora]

Yeah?

[dusty timber]

Yes, when Steve Balmer was their CEO

He said that Linux is cancer

[latent aurora]

But Linux isn't cancer

[mighty vine]

What if it is

[latent aurora]

It is not.

[sinful monolith]

Microsoft will drop support for Windows 10 but keep support for WSL and go full Linux

[mighty vine]

So I want to buy the Samsung Tab S7 but I have no clue what the display technology it uses does. Is it like AMOLED where ot degrades overtime and leaves a burn in or is it like an IPS?

[sinful monolith]

it's LTPS TFT

[mighty vine]

So apparently it does degrade because of transistor heat but I can't find an image as to how it looks when degraded

[boreal saddle]

Guys my wheel is old so it doesn't have turning 360 it just turns 180 is there any mod or something to install so my wheel in ets 2 goes 180 like my irl wheel?

[distant zodiac]

My old VS550 made some fizzing noises so I've unplugged that. Thought it came with a 7 year warranty but apparently that was only the 80+ version, which mine wasn't.

Now my thinking here is buy a proper good PSU, so I've bought a HX1000i. I don't want to take a risk with a dubious PSU if I'm gonna drop an RTX 30 series in one day. Still waiting for stock.

£215 is good from what I see for a HX1000i?

[celest nova]

huh, well certainly it depends if you wanna drop in a 3080 card upwards, I only have a 850W Power supply in mine, with a 3070. But I think that price isn't that bad though at this time, well I mean power supplies also got affected by the crypto thingy.

[distant zodiac]

Yeah, not many things you can do to future proof a pc, but a good power supply is a great base was my thinking. I can take that from pc to pc over the course of 10 years (it's warranty)

[celest nova]

yeah, in case the newer rtx generation comes out, you're saved.

Finally a good power strip to have all of my consoles plugged in. Fits just nicely into there.

[spiral yew]

[celest nova]

Nah, sound system isn't a good thing to run over that then.

Before

After

Next need a new CPU+mobo, and then get hold of an RTX 30 card

Then I'll cable manage, but not worth it for a temporary setup imo

Think I did a somewhat reasonable job of cable managing with the old PSU installed, considering that wasn't modular

[celest nova]

I wanna get a hold of an old machine just in a case like this.

Sucks af to not have those bays for disc/floppy drives.

[distant zodiac]

I don't actually use those bays. I do have a blu ray drive I could drop into one of them but I don't use discs anymore

Useful for extra cabling and hiding stuff away that won't fit behind the mb tray

[dusty timber]

Well, Windows 11 presentation is somewhat broken

[onyx snow]

Its fine for me

[dusty timber]

WTF???

[celest nova]

oof

oh well, that's sad.

[dusty timber]

Feels like goddamn home... When your parents make boundaries, I see

[celest nova]

Think I gotta stick with Windows 10 then until it's out of service.

Most things presented are things I don't like at all, well idk

[flat grove]

did they mention anything about dropping 32 bit support?

[dusty timber]

Distribution will be 64 bit only, but 32 bit apps will be supported

[mighty vine]

There will be programs that bypass that surely though right?

[agile ermine]

they're oversimplifying everything

that's sad for all the power users

[mighty vine]

Inb4 everyone stays at Windows 10

The hell are they thinking

"Let's remove everything that made Windows Windows"

[agile ermine]

it looks like it's designed for your average laptop user with a tactile screen and everything

excepted that your grandparents still can't understand anything and you'll lose a ton of important features

[mighty vine]

They are going too far imo

[agile ermine]

yeah

windows 10 was already bad compared to windows 7, but windows 11 seems to be on a different level

[mighty vine]

I got used to 10 fairly quickly because of how similar everything was

But removing basic features is just a no go from me

[dusty timber]

I don't like this anyway. Why on Earth you even need to remove things that are working?

[mighty vine]

Why make a diffrent OS

[dusty timber]

This is not a different OS

[mighty vine]

Windows 10 is the final version of Windows my ass

[dusty timber]

Well, I said once that I am living on edge. Turns out that Windows 11 doesn't inspire me to upgrade right away due to some limitations and stupid desicions.

[mighty vine]

I'm probably going to ride with Windows 10 until it's death

[dusty timber]

...until 2025, you meant to say

[mighty vine]

yes

[distant zodiac]

Planned obsolescence at its most ugly form, literally

[brittle mountain]

they added the best "features" of Win10X to Win10 and called it Win11, gg MicroShaft inc.

[dusty timber]

At least they are straightforward about this

[frozen mantle]

5G is a lot different

[hasty ether]

I know it is we had the Telephone Lines changed so 5G can work better down here.

Our Internet Provider is Windstream but I never expected to get 5G from Windstream.

And is the only internet provider for us down here in Texas.

5GHz refers to the frequency of the electromagnetic signal carrying the data and is used in wifi. It can result in a better connection than the traditional 2.4GHz at shorter distances; higher frequencies don't travel as far and get blocked by walls easier. 5G refers to the 5th Generation of cellular data, which is entirely separate from wifi.

[hasty ether]

I had 2.4G But that was when the internet was dying when it was raining.

[dusty timber]

You had 2.4 GHz, not 2.4G

[shut steppe]

I am using 3 monitors can I still stream on twitch ? If so, any settings I need to make

[sinful monolith]

sure, the number of monitors doesn't limit you

[spiral yew]

i wouldn't make the stream resolution 5760x1080 though cause then only people with that same resolution can see it

@shut steppe if you make it 5760x1080 people without that resolution will see this

[sinful monolith]

yeah, you'd probably want to capture only the center screen, possibly include the side ones in the corners like the F2 mirrors in-game

[spiral yew]

3v since you work with twitch does the partnered stream transcoding work with this resolution?

[sinful monolith]

probably not very well

shouldn't break, but it would probably end up 16:9 with huge black bars

I don't work on video so I don't have a lot of context there

[shut steppe]

is there a setting that I can set this up on?

[sinful monolith]

display capture should just do it

otherwise cropping

[shut steppe]

so perhaps going into my OBS and doing it from there perhaps?

[sinful monolith]

yes

Finally. It's here!!!

Some cable damage on both original controllers, but everything can be fixed. I'm so hyped 😂

[snow summit]

[distant zodiac]

So retired the 1060 today, in favour of a 3070ti I managed to pickup at a decent, non scalped price

Cabling I'm not happy with, but limited options with this case. CPU and mobo are next on the list to upgrade

Also need to set the RGB, I'm not a fan of rainbow

[wide temple]

How much did it cost you?

[distant zodiac]

£799, there was another at £749 but didn't know the brand. It was more of an impulse decision, seeing the price and being fed up of waiting. We aren't gonna see MSRP still for a while, even with LHR cards

[wide temple]

that’s quite a bit more than I was expecting. Brand is decent, it’s not well known but they make good cards. I guess if you’re after an AIB card it’s okay, I wanted cheap as possible so waited for an FE drop lol

Card prices are slowly dropping now as ETH isn’t as profitable to mine with the recent block chain changes

[distant zodiac]

It's more than I wanted to pay, but the way I see is I work damn hard so when I have time off I don't just want to sit waiting for a GPU to drop. Had enough of it really, yeah it's more than MSRP but not unreasonable imo

[wide temple]

Yeah that’s true. I’m lucky that I work on computers all day so I could grab one as soon as it dropped

They don’t last more than 5 minutes in stock either

[distant zodiac]

Yep, I had to wait in a queue to even add to basket. It just so happened I got through after nearly a minute and then just went for it

The same card I spotted somewhere was £899 and that even sold out now lol

But now thinking. I could get a new mobo, cpu and ram.

Put together my old system (i5-6500, 16gb ram, gtx 1060 and grab an ssd for it) sell that as a complete system and possibly pay for that new mobo cpu and ram

[mighty idol]

can you ship to me the 1060

[spiral yew]

if you pay for customs and everything i'm sure they would

[mighty idol]

uh oh

It was a coin flip really between the Ryzen 7 3700x and the Ryzen 5 5600x. Really looked into it, but decided the two extra cores would benefit me more, albeit the more powerful cores of the 5600x

Just now I need to hide my wallet from myself

[distant zodiac]

Put together my old PC, from what remains of the new pc build. Thinking it should be a nice little PC. I5 6500, GTX 1060 3gb, 16gb ram, 250gb SSD 1tb HDD. Already have someone interested in it for his kid, fortnight and Minecraft it'll play that easily.

[zealous breach]

I see I have a i7-8700K. I'll have to do some digging on compatibility. But looking forward to getting a 3070 soon.

I might need a new PSU. But that isn't the majority cost of the upgrade in comparison to the GPUs at the moment. lol

[distant zodiac]

That's the exact same CPU my mate has who also ordered a 3070ti, he let me know they were in stock. His arrives today, so will let you know if I remember what he thinks.

[zealous breach]

Ok, thanks. Would greatly appreciate that information.

[distant zodiac]

With my current config, my peak draw has been 490w (i5 6500 with the 3070ti) using the occt power draw tool, but you've also got to factor spikes in

[zealous breach]

Do you think a 850W would be sufficient then?

[distant zodiac]

Yeah plenty of headroom, I regret going overboard with a hx1000i, could've got the hx850i and saved £30 lol

[zealous breach]

For sure. All the information is greatly appreciated.

[distant zodiac]

Would also make sure it's a good quality PSU. Not some generic unbranded PSU. You'd want two separate PCIe 8 pins, I've heard it can melt cables if they aren't up to the task. Even with my HX1000i, using two separate PCIe 8 pins and not using the splitter on them. Not sure if the 3070 is dual 8 pin, but the 3070ti is

[zealous breach]

Yea I was thinking about just getting the standard variant of the 3070 not the Ti.

[distant zodiac]

Yeah, I only got the ti as it was the one in stock, and only a £20 difference between the non ti version at the place I got mine from

[zealous breach]

Wow that isn't a big price difference at all.

[distant zodiac]

It's covid and scalpers, prices are all over the place

3060ti, can cost more than a 3070ti in some places

[zealous breach]

Yes. I believe the Miners are really hurting the market overall. I can't say for certain. I haven't done enough digging in that area. But that would be my assumption. Not trying to sound ignorant in that regard. But I have a feeling it has to do with the Miners.

[distant zodiac]

I don't have any respect for miners either. Besides these new cards are Low Hash Rate cards, and I don't have any interest in mining

[zealous breach]

I have zero interest in mining as well. Why I haven't dug up information on it really. Just hear a lot from others about it. Just got to sit a while and wait for a deal or something that looks good for the 3070.

[distant zodiac]

Yeah, just a waiting game. They are more available now, than before. Just got to look for LHR cards

[celest nova]

Soon I'm getting some old school machines with lga1155 boards. I'm kinda excited. I will likely buy some old xeons to get the most power out of em, as there are only i3 in there at the moment.

Cases are also very nice, having 3 disc drive bays and even a floppy drive bay, kinda handy if you still have some floppys lying around like me lol

[spiral yew]

never heard of that brand

[kind sapphire]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mighty idol]

but the reviews are good, so what's wrong if I try it

[dusty timber]

It is not viable imo

If you gonna cheap out on SSD, you'd better get more space.

[mighty idol]

crucial ssd in my country...

many pc parts are still overpriced in my country

they just follow US prices to sell in here

[agile ermine]

SSDs are going to become very expensive soon

Have you ever heard of Chia ?

It's a blockchain, and you mine its cryptocurrency with SSDs

[distant zodiac]

I knew the 3700x was a decent 8 core cpu but damn I'm actually impressed

[mighty idol]

yea I know.....I've saw a motherboard with many sata connectors

[celest nova]

First was before, second and third are after. Looks much better after that.

Also cleaned up the Xbox Controllers, here's a comparison after & before. I love it.

Now I need to wait up for monday until the Xbox AV cable arrives and until I get the school PCs. It's gonna be a fun week hehe

Does somebody know if a Xeon E3-1290 v2 need ECC DDR3 RAM? I'm not entirely sure, if yes I just stick to the i7 3770K.

[hidden shell]

Meh!

[celest nova]

@ me when you reply tyy

should be

[pure venture]

8gb ram single channel

but ill look to upgrade to 16gb dual channel when I get the pc

[spiral yew]

8GB ram is pushing it these days

[pure venture]

yeah, loads of things need 16gb ram now to run smooth

will it be fine for stuff like Minecraft, assetto corsa?

This is it

[spiral yew]

that link lol

[pure venture]

ik lol

want me to screenshot the page

[spiral yew]

everything is overpriced right now

[pure venture]

ive heard

but this is all I need for a pc

Something that runs Minecraft, ets, and my summer car

Do you know a site where I can just put down what specs I have and if it can run a game?

[spiral yew]

hmmmm the ram is questionable since they don't list the speed

unlike intel ryzen needs fast ram

[pure venture]

Ah ok

So if it turns out to be kinda slow

Is that really bad?

[spiral yew]

ryzen runs best on fast ram

[pure venture]

will it matter alot with fps or only like 5-10

I've found a site and it says 2666mhz @spiral yew

[spiral yew]

wait vega 11 is integrated graphics which means there is no discrete graphics card

[pure venture]

Yeah I know

Theres no gpu

[spiral yew]

yea 2666Mhz is slow for ryzen

[pure venture]

ffs

how much does it matter with fps

[spiral yew]

https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/page/Minecraft-gaming-pc/

[pure venture]

For Ryzen 5 3400G, the minimum recommendation is 2933MHz as stated by AMD but if you go above it, then you will definitely observe some observable performance increase which constantly increases as you go above 3000MHz up to 3600MHz.

[spiral yew]

yea that's the thing about ryzen

[pure venture]

crap

so will it matter alot with my fps

cause my old pc couldn't be repaired so I got an Argos voucher from them for £500

the pc doesn't need to have loads of good spec

[spiral yew]

the cheaper the system you get now the more you'll have to spend to upgrade it later

[pure venture]

@spiral yew https://youtu.be/Ja_KqxywCLk

he's got 2666mh spee

d

but 2x4gb ram

[spiral yew]

yea but they are using 720p resolution and not 1080p

60fps at 1280x720 though

[agile ermine]

fast ram won't make a huge difference over a slower one, as long as you don't go for 2400MHz or lower

Vega 11 is a fast iGPU, but still far from a dedicated GPU

Need at least 64gb ram and 500gb of SSD space And a good CPU is also needed 🙈

Thanks in Advance

[sinful monolith]

define good CPU

[dusty timber]

You will never know for sure anyway

[latent aurora]

well, it shouldn't be a pentium tho - good XEONs or Epyc Processors are fine - on this system, some Discord Bots, MC-Network, Database and so on should run fine

hetzner and soyoustart are usually my recommendations there

the latter has summer sale going on

[latent aurora]

Yeah, on Hetzner I already was - there are good servers ^^ but the other one I will take a look now

[pure venture]

uhm

did i not tell you yet

i can only buy from argos

[spiral yew]

Oh yeah that voucher thingy

I'd get the storm forge one or the other one but yea stay away from one's from companies like Dell cause they tend to have custom made motherboards and other bs custom parts made just for them

This is a custom made Dell motherboard

i feel bad for you frenzy

[mighty vine]

It's been retired for like 2 years now

I like my current PC

All I would want is a 3060 Ti

[spiral yew]

don't we all want a 3000 series gpu

[celest nova]

Hm yeah, would be possible

[hasty ether]

I'd like an upgrade from my 2060.. Should I get a 3060 Ti or a 3070?

[spiral yew]

what ever you can find

[sand valley]

I would prefer if u have a 20 series card wait for the next gen buying every gen gou isn't that worth

[agile ermine]

A 3060 Ti or a 3070 is a big upgrade over a 2060

[celest nova]

huh, I upgraded from mobile 1060 to a 3070

[onyx snow]

I mean.. not really..

A 3060ti isn’t that much better than a 2070/2080ti. And even then, depending on the use for it. It isn’t really worth it.

3070.. well, again. That’s probably on the same par as the 2070/2080ti.

Just depends on how much you value the recognition for having a new GPU or if you prefer more money in your wallet.

Personally, if I was running a 2060 of any sort, I wouldn’t be bothering to upgrade to the 3000 series.

Just remember though, if you do upgrade, I’d make sure your CPU isn’t bottlenecking it. And the real difference in performance is mainly noticed when upgrading (using my personal case as an example) a 1050, to 3060ti.

Just a view from my perspective.

Oh and to add onto that, before I forget.

I wouldn’t really see the point in upgrading to the 3000 from 2000 series unless you’re intending on running like 8K or something. Or, are a game/app developer where you need to see how it would perform on the higher graphical settings.

[agile ermine]

An RTX 3060 Ti is on par with an RTX 2080, and the 3070 is equivalent to the 2080 Ti... that's definitely a significant upgrade over a 2060

And it's worth it if you want to play some AAA games in QHD, for example

Definitely not necessary if you have a FHD monitor, though
