# fluid jackal ill see what i can do

I've used copyrighted music a couple times in YT videos. In the upload process, it does a copyright check and tells you if the song is allowed to be used by the copyright holders. Both if my videos it said it was allowed. The holder can choose whether to take the revenue from the video then.

# minor meteor AND IT CANT RECORD 180FPS

To record framerates higher than 60fps, you will need very powerful hardware (SSD, high-end GPU, significant CPU overhead, fast RAM) in order to accomplish it. There are no simple instructions that will make it work. It is recommended that you stay at or under 120fps when using OBS, and we may be unable to provide support for higher framerates if your hardware cannot handle it. Be prepared for hours of trial and error on your own.

I think regardless if it is autism or cancer or whatever else, logically it makes sense that in the coming decades we will see a clear link between all of the processed foods pushed through the US and many adverse health effects.

oh wait

#

you are much lower than me

#

umm it depends on how well it runs

#

if it cant match a 5070ti

#

then its doa

copper notch
#

Well, AMD has said that they want to be aggressive at pursing the entry level and midrange market. To me that means higher performance AND lower cost, that is if they ACTUALLY want to gain market share. The 7800XT is $690+ CAD right now and since launch. The 8800XT would have been the replacement next gen card for that at noticeably higher performance, so if they released it at $690+ CAD it would be same price at noticeably higher performance, but I wouldn't say aggressively pursing marketshare without a price drop. So lets say $600-650. But then...

marsh helm
#

how much is the 4070ti there?

#

its most oos here

#

4070ti says $550

#

no stock

#

jesus christ

#

hell amd just beat the 5070ti

#

i didnt notice how disgusting that is

#

my god

#

the 3070ti was $499

#

msrp of $599

#

wow nvidia prices have gone up

#

sooo much

copper notch
#

AMD threw a curveball at everyone by changing it to 9000 series instead of 8000, and to NVIDIA style numbering, and also the 8 -> 7.... Why? Well, my speculation is that they actually want to make the 9070XT a 7 class card with 7 class pricing, so the replacement for the 7700XT and to compete against the 5070 this time. The 7700XT is actually $600 right now, so I would say they have to hit that price or lower, ideally lower, so $550-600... if they are SERIOUS about gaining market share I think probably $550.

So I think that they changed from 8000 series to 9000 series because there are endless "leak" and "bullshit" videos on YouTube telling everyone about the 8800XT and what it is going to be blah blah blah, and online on websites, so if AMD does anything that does not align with what the "leaks" and "rumours" and "expectations" are from that they will look bad. No problem surprise change to 9000 series and invalidate every single video and website leak, and get to repaint what the series will be. Change the model numbering to align with the price targets intended and to pair their card tiers with NVIDIA's card tiers again in 1:1 comparison. 70 class versus 70 class. But also by doing this, lowering the price to be more competitive doesn't lower the price of a tier as well, changing future expectations. It is better for them to have much higher performance at a LOWER tier for the same or lower price than last gen than to have the next tier part number at the same price, in terms of marketing.

the 3070ti was $599

the aib prices are insane

even at FE prices its soo bad

4090 not avail either

marsh helm
#

well im going off BB

#

when it was in stock prices

#

from AMAZON

copper notch
#

Honestly though, I'm not convinced that AMD will give both higher performance and lower prices to be truly in a position to of extra high value to gain market share. They will probably price the cards $50-100 more than what people are expecting and represent meh value gain, get bad reviews and then 1-2 months later lower the price by $50-100, just like they always do. And lose market share.

marsh helm
#

lowest price is $819 O_O

#

blobsweats thats 2x what i paid for my 3060ti

copper notch
#

If FSR4 is ready and competitive with DLSS 3.x/4.x though it might give them some bonus points

marsh helm
#

bonus skelly points?

#

look at this bad value

#

$400 card vs a $900 card

#

my 3060ti is about the same performance as a 4060ti

#

blobsweats which feels weird to say

copper notch
#

Yeah, the AIB models are priced stupid. I don't understand the logic in buying them really. Most of the time you can get like a NVIDIA Founder's Edition for say 1000, lets say fictional 4080... but an ASUS Super OC HOLY SHIT Deluxe Edition RGB Mega ROG Strix eXXXTreeme Edition 4070 Ti is like $1100 mega overclocked. It is slower than all 4080s and more expensive than the cheapest 4080. Why would someone buy a higher priced overclocked lower tier card if you can get a regular clocked higher tier card that is substantially faster? I don't understand gamer logic.

#

I see that at all tiers, and it is just dumb

marsh helm
#

i think amd play is also going to be GREATLY undercut that

#

give the aib much easier time to hit msrp

#

man i didnt look at these prices in awhile

copper notch
#

But then I also see gamers go and cheap out on their CPU and buy say... a Ryzen 7600 for say $250CAD, then buy a $300+ water cooling kit to overclock it with PBO or whatever to make it 5% faster or whatever, when they could have just spent the $250+300=$550 on a 7700X or whatever and use a cheap cooler and it would be faster and cheaper overall.

marsh helm
#

well at 1440 and high graphics it wont matter

#

till you hit around 90fps

#

then you start to lose some %

copper notch
#

Or people that buy a 7600 to save money then spend double the price on RAM to get 8000MT/s RAM that is unstable and gives like 2% faster performance in 3 games, when they could have got 6000CL32 RAM for half the price or less and put the extra RAM money into getting a 9800X3D or whatever.

#

Because gamers.

marsh helm
#

the 7600 is a fine cpu i feel

#

use the stock cooler it comes with

copper notch
#

Sure, all the ryzens are great

marsh helm
#

and spend everything else on gpu

#

and 6000mhz ,32 ,31 ,30 ram

#

2x16

copper notch
#

But if someone's going to buy an entry level CPU and spend as much or more on the cooler for it instead of just buying a higher tier CPU, I have no kind words for their logic. πŸ™‚

marsh helm
#

some cheap 90$ nvme ssd

#

1tb

#

and a good gold psu

#

you can always get a heatsink later if you have a hot house

#

the amd cooler is about teh same as a $16 one from amazon

#

just louder

#

i dont think the 5070ti is going to beat the 4080

#

looking at this chart

#

i think it will be closer to where the 7900xt is

copper notch
#

Yeah the AMD stock cooler is just fine, especially if someone is buying the entry level 7600. I don't think the 7600X is worth it at all because it is only a few percent faster but substantially higher cost in comparison and does not come with a cooler at all.

marsh helm
#

xt is a scam

#

its just better silicon

copper notch
#

oops, I meant X

#

fixed

#

But yeah, the XT models when they have them are not good value for the dollar either typically

marsh helm
#

so amd if you make a gpu that matches the 7900xt for $550

#

you have a chance

#

that should beat the 5070ti in price and performance by a good amount

#

if its $699 nope

copper notch
#

Yeah, that would be around $650 CAD, but... that would be moving the 7 class GPU up in price compared to 7700XT, not down.

marsh helm
#

thats jumping 2 in the series tho

#

so it would be inbetween both in price i think

#

and still a good 2-300 less money than tthe 5070ti

copper notch
#

That's true, but would people be willing to pay a higher price for the same tier, and does AMD want to risk a fumble again to find out?

marsh helm
#

they could put put bundles that cut the price by $50 or more

#

so you can get a cpu and gpu for less than the 5070ti which is the same performance

copper notch
#

If they're genuinely serious about gaining market share, price it at the current price of the same tier or lower. That's aggressive IMHO.

marsh helm
#

they changed the naming

#

and did a ton of work with rdna 3.5

#

i think it could end up being a good jump

copper notch
#

I just want to see AMD put out a great product and at a great price that everyone thinks is great on both counts and flocks to stores keeping them on backorder for once while NVIDIA boxes collect dust.

marsh helm
#

im interested with what the 7060 will be too

copper notch
#

Like the 7800X did

marsh helm
copper notch
#

or the 9800X3D which is perpetually out of stock, and sold more units than all other Zen 5 processors combined.

marsh helm
#

i think aibs lost a ton last gen

#

9800X3D is a killer cpu and incredible tech

copper notch
marsh helm
#

blackwell is far more expensive

copper notch
#

I'm on the fence about the 9950X3D. Still interested but there are 3 main issues I want to see channels I trust review and cover all 3.

#

I already know one issue is not going to be addressed unless AMD has a surprise up their sleeve and drops a bomb on us that didn't get leaked yet.

marsh helm
#

they need good parking

#

in os way to just stop windows from messing up

copper notch
#

That is no dual-X3D leaks yet, and some leaks showing it is single. If they have a 9955X3D that is dual that'd be nice but probably a pipe dream at this point.

marsh helm
#

what about a usb device that we can press to switch it off on the cpu lvl <.<

#

big red button that says turbo

#

i only saw a leak that showed it had just one

copper notch
#

Second issue is, did they fix the double-latency issue between the CCDs either via BIOS updates or via a new stepping for the new chips?

marsh helm
#

ccd with 3d

copper notch
marsh helm
#

why would it be any different vs the rest of the cpus?

copper notch
#

Third issue is what you covered... having to deal with core parking BS or use game bar or other nonsense

marsh helm
#

intel gambar is bad

#

REALLY BAD

#

-1% bad

copper notch
#

Guaranteed, GN and HUB will talk about all 3 of these issues and what the state is tho.

marsh helm
#

does the 7950x3d have more latency vs the 7950x

copper notch
#

I can't think of any other concerns I have, can you think of any? Allegedly some are saying the chip is clocked identical to the 9950X and does not have a 300MHz drop like the 9800X3D does, but I'm extremely skeptical of that.

#

Because it has 2 CCDs which will have potentially and likely different clock speeds, but the listed processor speed in specs is likely to only list the fastest CCD's top speed.

copper notch
#

So my concern is, is the 9950X3D's CCD to CCD latency also double that of the 7950X3D or not.

#

I believe I heard in a video someone saying that AMD has confirmed the issue in Zen 5 but don't remember if they said there would be a BIOS update or Windows patch or whatever to address it or if it was an "oops, our bad, we'll do better in Zen 6"

marsh helm
#

afaik they fixed it?

marsh helm
#

yeah iti took 2 weeks

copper notch
#

Well that's a relief

#

without that, 9950X was pretty much DOA IMHO

marsh helm
#

yeah nobody mentioned it as an issue

#

besides on intel

#

which its microcode made the cpu worse

#

O_o

copper notch
#

wow, more than cut in half: from 180 ns to 75 ns.

marsh helm
#

blobsweats increased the latency a lot

copper notch
#

yeah, I saw something about that and laughed

#

Just Intel being Intel... swirling the bowl...

marsh helm
#

its latency shot up

#

they mean arrow lake but are just mad

#

mind you capframx is a super intel shill

#

for what feels like forever

copper notch
marsh helm
#

but the amount of pain with 13 and 14 burned soo many ppl

#

soo many manhours lost and wasted money

#

replacing stuff that wasnt broken

copper notch
#

I want to see someone like Bitwit do a CPU testing video where they cherry pick ONLY games that run better on Intel, hunting through massive Steam library testing everyone until they find games that are, whether they are 8 or 20 years old, the older the better. Then make it like a parody video.

#

Although I don't think he's doing tech videos anymore

marsh helm
#

bitwit....

#

i really dont like them

copper notch
#

But he used to do some funny videos in the past

marsh helm
#

they steal data from what i remember

#

and he seemed fake to me

#

then he had that drama

copper notch
#

I never watched him that much, but caught some of his funny videos. I subscribed to most tech channels for a year, and then started unsubscribing from channels I thought were toxic personalities, morons, had high bias, poor quality, lots of mistakes in their videos etc., or were primarily leak channels that just shovel out leak videos that are 15m long that tell you nothing new, and all the leaks end up nonsense in the end.

#

So now I pretty much only watch 3 channels. GN, HUB, and MLID

marsh helm
#

mlid is mostly good but i always know the info could just be bad

#

or planted

#

soo many companies will plant "leaks"\ to see how ppl react

#

#

it will still be more performance vs nvidia XD

#

and cost less

copper notch
#

Crossfire/SLI useless... DX12 and Vulkan both have multi-gpu that could be utilized and game devs don't support any kind of multi-gpu anymore really

marsh helm
#

i just need the vram

copper notch
#

Not that they ever did, there was what, like 20 games that supported it to give a janky 30% performance boost for spending 2x the money?

marsh helm
#

for unreal and Houdini

copper notch
#

Shouldn't need Crossfire for that tho?

marsh helm
#

idk i just need a single vram pool

copper notch
#

I know that AI apps can use CUDA or Vulkan across multiple GPUs including 4000 series, 7000 series, which have no SLI/CF

marsh helm
#

oh wait Houdini works faster on amd O_o

#

it dosnt use cuda

copper notch
#

although not between brands

marsh helm
#

oh you dont use crossfire for what i need it for

copper notch

So it looks like 5090FE will be 575W and not the 600W leaked for a while, much as I predicted, although still higher than what I predicted which was 500-550W TDP

you just put both cards in

copper notch

why nvidia cards are not friendly for linux comparing to amd cards?

because nvidia hates linux

Hey guys, silly question. Can opening a file with the wrong program somehow damage the file even if you don't save it ? Cause I clearly did while configuring a game and backed out immediately.

opaque halo
#

It is VERY possible - especially if the file type changed.

livid plover
#

only if the file was saved/changed by the app you opened it with. check last modified date. if game installed via steam/etc, just verify game files, or if a config file, you can often times delete it to get a fresh one. be sure it doesn't contain data you want to save first if that's the case and you just don't want a reset

Man, I'm super tired and want to go to sleep but I've been waiting for CES for months to hear the new announcements. I kind of hope there will be some unexpected surprises this time around as there have been a lot of disappointments as of some of the tech drops in the last few years. Pricing disappointments, Zen 5 base disappointments, everything ever made by Intel in the last several years, etc. 5X3D was a big homerun, hopefully we see some more of those this time around, and they are followed by 3rd party corroboration.

#

Saw some rumours that there will be both an 8 and 12GB 5060 later this year potentially. I think 8GB GPUs in 2025 are crap unless they're below $200CAD, so seeing better options would be nice for people on the entry level.

that aint like the end of the world

copper notch
#

I searched Google and found the deets, AMD's AV1 hardware encoder implementation in RDNA3 is broken in hardware itself, with an apology from AMD being embarrassed saying they will fix it in RDNA4. So for any serious actual use, RDNA3 has no hardware AV1 encoder "that works", which is what someone actually needs.

umbral cove
#

was a deal breaker for me, but some prob doesnt care as much

copper notch
#

Looks like there are attempts in ffmpeg to try to work around the issue in the container.

#

ROCm ends up with problems like this with things randomly breaking on updates etc. too. I love AMD but they gotta get more serious and get their crap together on Radeon like they have on Ryzen.

#

Some heads gotta roll or something.

either theyre too short on employees, or the ones present aint really fit for the job, or both

#

Someone said it best... Intel is a company that doesn't know how to handle being #2, and AMD is a company that doesn't know how to handle being #1.

#

They have around 26000 employees which is impressive for what they've done with Ryzen et al, and other stuff. But Intel has > 100000 employees, dunno about NVIDIA.

#

But AMD has a bigger market cap than Intel for a while now IIRC, so like... hire more people

Does Deadpool drink aviation gin or something

Aviation Gin is (was) owned by Ryan Reynolds.

#

Can't remember if he still has a share of the company.

sudden adder
#

he bought the company and name in 2016

#

more recently...

Actor Ryan Reynolds acquired a stake in the brand from Davos in February 2018.[2][4] On August 17, 2020, Aviation was sold to Diageo, whose liquor lineup includes the gin Tanqueray, as well as Smirnoff vodka, and Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky. Reynolds still maintains an "ongoing ownership interest" in Aviation.[5]

39 years old when it was put in the bottle, 40 years ago

I've collected some local wines, the oldest I have is 2016. Wildfires affected the vineyards in noticeable ways, once they grapes were harvested.

#

that distillery has been inactive for 40 years, so that 40yo was distilled in ~1944

#

I have a wine from 1999 here I think

Found some casks in a warehouse labelled 1940's

and dom perignons from vintages 2002, 2003 and 2004

#

actually come to think of it it's also possible they distilled it in 1983 and only bottled it 40 years later

#

in any case, da's a big number following that €

prisma dove

big number in USD too

ah, the website says it (the 40yo) was distilled in 1979

I wonder if I can write off a 40 year old scotch as an investment?

terse helm
#

if you don't drink it, yeah

#

it's like if you buy art with the intent to keep it and sell it for more money later

prisma dove
#

well yeah, but one day... that bottle may accidentaly pour some of its content into a glass.

#

I get it as an art investment, I have inherited my parents' estate and it included some collectables.

I have some World's Fair beer from 1982 somewhere. Cans of it, in fact. I bet that's worth something.

Not to drink, though... 40+ year old, canned beer, will be skunky AF...

One of these days, though, I do plan on buying an expensive to me, bottle of something. Mentally, I just have a problem with paying a lot for something that'll just be in the toilet 24 hours after consuming.

It's stupid, I know.

I wouldn't want some expensive bottle of wine but I have definitely had a few really nice/expensive bottles of scotch that were totally worth it.

Ah... I think the wording on Johnnie Walker Green confused me into thinking it was single malt. I was 100% wrong. It's blended like all their other stuff, but blended from single malt.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into both and see what I can come up with locally, or will order online.

Scratch that, found online. Will order GlenDronach 21 Year Old Parliament when I get back to Montana.

I'll let my company pay for it. Call it a birthday present, or something. LOL
