[glacial basin]

no wonder

[mild hearth]

really? do you have a pic of your setup?

[limpid fern]

Yooo we have the same dated ass soldering iron

[manic torrent]

haha, it works! I also have a TS80P and a ryobi battery one

[limpid fern]

I have some weller one from like 2002

[mossy meteor]

Guys where do i post a question about rooting android? 🤔

[limpid fern]

Idk we really need a #software

Tech chat 2?

[mossy meteor]

Hmm

[manic torrent]

better off in a dedicated android/whateever device you have discord

[mild hearth]

wow, that's a great setup! How are you able to sit so close to the screen though?

Having a screen that big, this close would make gaming impossible for me (FPS for sure)

[mossy meteor]

I mean, true. But i’ve seen Linus doing it ;p thought maybe you guys could help me out

[limpid fern]

Its not for gaming

[mild hearth]

Well that makes sense then!

[limpid fern]

Atleast i hope not

[mossy meteor]

Your know what would be cool, oxygenOS on my ipad mini 2

Or even better, arch linux

[manic torrent]

I haven't done it for years - the places I would look it up (i.e. device and software specific forums) are where you should go.

You know what they say, give a man a fire, he's warm for a night. Set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

[mossy meteor]

Like for example github?

[manic torrent]

I'm not really that close - I thought it might be an issue but it isnt

[mossy meteor]

Well this is very correct

[manic torrent]

Did you try searching google for device name + root ?

[mossy meteor]

Yea but i end up on sketchy websites tbh

First thing that popped up was softonic

[ebon tapir]

Still wondering

What GPU it is

[mild hearth]

Gefoce 2000 series from 2000s

[manic torrent]

Oh man. AGP. Those were the days

[ebon tapir]

How old is this

It

[mild hearth]

are you trolling me :p

[limpid fern]

Geforce 2 mx

[mild hearth]

22 years old

[ebon tapir]

Damn

And it works perfectly

[limpid fern]

Older than 50% of this servers population

[mild hearth]

Idk why that guy made the video, he can legit google what it says on the processor itself :/ and find an answer anyway

takes 0.5s

[manic torrent]

I think I had a g400 at that time. Straight ballin with dual display outputs

[limpid fern]

Clout

[limpid fern]

Oml you diddnt put 2 in your machine?

[mossy meteor]

Most likely hahaha

[mild hearth]

i dont even remember my first GPU :/

[manic torrent]

G400 had dual outputs!

[ebon tapir]

It's me and I didn't see anything to look up on it

[polar fern]

Not sure if anyone replied to my inquiry.

[limpid fern]

I mean 2 g400s

[mild hearth]

at the start you can see it says Geforce2mx on the dye

[manic torrent]

Yeah nah, just the one.

[upbeat ridge]

https://shop.almdudler.com/en/almdudler/almdudler-original-05l-pet-bottle
This stuff is awesome

Even McDonald’s here has it

[ebon tapir]

Oh didn't notice

[limpid fern]

#off-topic

This is ancient gpu talk

[manic torrent]

But I might have had a secondary GPU at some point. I had dual 19" CRTs

[polar fern]

Is this card any good for gaming? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/graphics-cards/graphics_cards/4x61h02424

[mild hearth]

Does anyone still remember this legendary GPU: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-8800-gt.c201

[limpid fern]

My dads old rig has 3 in it

[manic torrent]

Tldr no

[polar fern]

Sadge

[mild hearth]

@manic torrent did u used to have an 8800

[limpid fern]

I remember it but i threw it out

[manic torrent]

Oh man I had an 8800 gts. Was a banger.

[polar fern]

I need a card to replace the vega 11 igpu

[mild hearth]

bruh that thing could barely run crysis

and it was the biggest of boys

[polar fern]

Since new processor won’t have igpu

[manic torrent]

The low end of GPUs is a sea of garbage

[polar fern]

It needs to be low end because of SFF & power constraints

[manic torrent]

6600 itx

[limpid fern]

Did you look into the 1050ti?

[limpid fern]

Half hight

They need half height

[polar fern]

75 watts is pretty much the max & it needs to have the low profile bracket

[limpid fern]

1050ti lp

[polar fern]

Let me look

[manic torrent]

https://www.wepc.com/reviews/best-low-profile-graphics-card/

[limpid fern]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TOC-4GL#kf

[polar fern]

Gmmm

[limpid fern]

I feel like the 1650 draws too much power

[polar fern]

That might work

[manic torrent]

Yeah half height super limits you.

Current gen Nvidia uses way too much power.

[limpid fern]

Cut a hole in your case

[polar fern]

How does it compare to the vega 11?

[limpid fern]

1050 is a 68% improvement

[polar fern]

1 more percent dang

[manic torrent]

I wedged the 6600xt in the case it didn't strictly fit into

[polar fern]

So close

[manic torrent]

Just need some massaging

[limpid fern]

Think of a slim optiplex

[polar fern]

Nah this is a Lenovo SFF. Nothing is going to be cut or modified

[limpid fern]

Buy a new side panel and cut that one

[manic torrent]

Abandon gaming

[polar fern]

It’s still got 3 years of factory coverage

[limpid fern]

But yea 1050 lp is a good option

[manic torrent]

It's not fit for purpose

[mild hearth]

why is it so difficult to find monitors with VESA mounts these days?

[limpid fern]

Xbox is a similar size

[limpid fern]

Its not?

[polar fern]

Most of them come with the mounting holes

[mild hearth]

Nah I've had a nightmare of a time finding monitors supporting VESA

[limpid fern]

Bs

[polar fern]

Ok I’ll get the 1050ti lp

[limpid fern]

Name one monitor that you think doesn’t have vesa

[mild hearth]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/XL2411K-BenQ-Zowie-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B08HJ2T1JK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=FEMGDPL91AEE&keywords=24"+144hz&qid=1661240792&s=computers&sprefix=24"+144hz%2Ccomputers%2C80&sr=1-3

just as an example

[manic torrent]

MSI 34" ultrawide piece of shit bullshit crap.

They wanted $50 for an adapter, so I made one myself, mostly because of the principle.

But seriously though.... Most monitors support vesa in my experience.

[mild hearth]

what the... 50 for an adapter? :p

[limpid fern]

KOORUI Gaming Monitor 24 Inch - FHD PC Screen VA 165Hz 1ms Monitor 144hz, FreeSync™ GSync Compatible, DCI-P3 85%, 2 x HDMI, DP Tilt, Black

[mild hearth]

i acc have this as my 2nd screen :p

[polar fern]

Hmm.

[sleek venture]

That is vesa compatible

I believe you remove the stand and the screw holes are behind

[mild hearth]

if its not clearly stated that it supports vesa, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in returning a screen and having to wait even longer for the "right" one :p

[sleek venture]

well that is not the same as not supported

[covert spindle]

Hello everyone

[manic torrent]

Oh look, right there.

[sleek venture]

it is not very good because it is hard to know what "V" means

website would be better if it just said yes

[mossy meteor]

[manic torrent]

It's crap on phone, fine on desktop but I cbf

[graceful burrow]

[polar fern]

So the 1050ti LP works. Only issue is do they come with the low profile mounting bracket?

[graceful burrow]

Why would they sell a low profile card and not include a bracket?

[polar fern]

Well the bracket I’m seeing is full size

Is it included in the box?

[graceful burrow]

Assumedly

[polar fern]

I’m not seeing any info on this

If I’m gonna drop $200 on a graphics card it needs to work

[covert spindle]

I have a question
does anyone know why i cannot enable XMP in my BIOS even tho i have dual channel memory

[gentle slate]

I've dropped 200$ for pixels.

[latent plank]

google the gpu and "unboxing" and im sure you'll find the info you need

[graceful burrow]

Motherboard and cpu would be nice to have if you wanted an answer

[covert spindle]

Sure no problem, my motherboard is H110M-K and my cpu is intel celeron g3930

[polar fern]

Ooo found one

[covert spindle]

i had single 4gb ddr4 2133mhz memory speed, but upgraded to 8gb ram, so 4x2 ram, but i cant enable XMP

[polar fern]

@latent plank yeah that’s my usual thing but some board partners may not include all the optional stuff. The brackets are sold separately but I’m wary of that after still waiting 5 months on for a very simple & inexpensive part

[graceful burrow]

Shoot the message into #tech-support

[latent plank]

fair

[polar fern]

Plus if it’s used who knows. EBay is choppy seas for that kinda stuff

[latent plank]

can always ask the seller

[polar fern]

However I did find one on a reputable retailer site & it has the smol bracket

It’s refurbished so I save some $ too

[latent plank]

nice

[full fossil]

honestly I'm scared whenever I see refurbished

[polar fern]

Meh

You get used to such things when you’re poor

[full fossil]

yeah

[polar fern]

My Mac mini & its external SuperDrive are both from second hand apple sellers

However I will say that used apple stuff is by far the more reliable route vs wintel stuff

Not sure why

Mac resellers usually specialise in apple stuff tho so there’s that

[latent plank]

more tightly integrated processes from apple

[polar fern]

Certified used apple stuff is basically good as new

the worst issues are typically cosmetic in nature.

And there are known model specific things like display issues which have nothing to do with it being used

[junior mason]

Huh, thought they would be somewhat linked to being use, considering those issues may make them wear down faster (eg display cable being pinched from being open closed so many times etc) then again it's a matter of when it breaks

[polar fern]

The iBooks had hinge/cable issues

The MacBooks have a larger pass-through for the cables

[junior mason]

Ah,

[polar fern]

The absolute odyssey I went through with my iBook(s) because of those problems is worthy of a YouTube video.

[digital oak]

[polar fern]

I went through 11 of them

ELEVEN

[graceful burrow]

[polar fern]

Ahoy

[graceful burrow]

I always appreciate a star trek emoji

[junior mason]

Holy,

[digital oak]

I have too many dude

[polar fern]

The repair depot run by Foxconn botched the repair 15 times.

I got sent back my iBook with broken screens, missing bezel, all kinda nutty stuff

Apple evrn had 2 units sent to them from the repair depot to verify the issue

They gladly replaced with new but then…

Loved my iBooks but holy cow they were not well designed internally

I went from 600 mhz G3 to the last G4 model all replaced due to failed repairs

And one time they sent me two by mistake

From what I’ve seen they have addressed basically all of the issues.

The MacBooks were not just intel, they were intended to replace the complicated iBook & PowerBook to save on part numbers and increase reliability

I’m gonna buy that refurb 1050

If I get another stimulus check, I’m gonna get the thicc one

[limpid fern]

Bru laptop

[polar fern]

No

I’m not willing to compromise on portables. I’d want a new MacBook and there’s no way I can afford that

Even with a stimulus check

[limpid fern]

How much is the thicc boi?

How much is the one you have now?

How much is a 1050ti lp and your new cpu

[polar fern]

The new processor plus the gpu is like $500

Current thing cost $800

[limpid fern]

So 1300?

You can get a way better laptop for 1300

And its got a built in ups and screen and keyboard

And you can take it with. You

[polar fern]

The current processor is 4/8 the new one is 6/12 core/thread. It’ll be like a brand new computer

I don’t want a laptop.

[limpid fern]

Alr! Have fun with compromising

[polar fern]

Um

For like 15 years I primarily used a thibkpad/iBook/MacBook. I need more than a laptop can offer. It’s not with it

[limpid fern]

A 1050ti and whatever cpu your using wont beat a 1660ti mobile gpu and 10750h laptop

[polar fern]

I don’t want a hardware limited heat pad

[limpid fern]

For that 1300 dollar you could get a whole 1660ti and 5700x

[polar fern]

I’m not spending $1300

I’m spending $450-$500

[limpid fern]

But your current machine is $800

And then gpu and cpu upgrade

[polar fern]

Yea I’m upgrading it

[limpid fern]

I say sell it and build a brand new pc

[mild hearth]

wait 1300 for 1660ti system? :/ that seems like a major fail no?

[polar fern]

It is

[mild hearth]

ohhh nvm its laptop talk :p

[polar fern]

So where’s this magical laptop supposed to go?

[mild hearth]

your setup is hectic

[polar fern]

Nah it works great

[mild hearth]

why 2 PCs?

work related ?

[polar fern]

It’s a pc + mac

[mild hearth]

oh god

i think the less i know the better :p

[polar fern]

Video editing.

Plus music to go with the videos

[mild hearth]

why pc and mac tho? Idk anything about video editing

[polar fern]

The mac is for file management & music composition.

[limpid fern]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Build a system

[limpid fern]

Why?

[mild hearth]

Isn't the 1660ti like $240?

MSRP****

[polar fern]

Sorry for not wanting the same stuff everyone else has

[limpid fern]

Im just saying you can get a way better deal

[limpid fern]

That shelf below your desk

[polar fern]

I’m good. Stop trying to advise me pls

The shelf?!

[mild hearth]

I have a 1660ti that I no longer need which I would be happy to sell. Or sell you my whole system cheap (1660ti with a Ryzen 5 2600 probably need a CPU upgrade tbh)

[limpid fern]

Yea?

[mild hearth]

but if ur not based in europe makes no sense for me to ship that shit :p

[full fossil]

dawg weren't you wanting to buy an rx 560 earlier for $260

[limpid fern]

Hes getting a 6c 1050ti system for 1300

[full fossil]

lol

[polar fern]

This shelf?

[limpid fern]

No the shelf in your kitchen, yes that shelf

[polar fern]

I’m not getting anything for $1300 tf you talking about

[limpid fern]

You current system 800, your upgrades 300

Thats your words

[full fossil]

yo transit biker this you?

[polar fern]

My current system is sunk cost

I literally have my stuff linked via discord why is this such a major revelation for you?

[full fossil]

[polar fern]

Y’all need to touch some foliage

[split kelp]

On a daily basis

[full fossil]

[split kelp]

That was lame

Nvm

I see you're sad about the choco taco leaving...

have you never seen that video from blizzcon? the diablo immortal announcement?

[full fossil]

bro this chat makin me lose braincells

[full fossil]

its not fresh in my mind that refence but ive seen that yeah

[polar fern]

Nope

I put together my setup meticulously. The issue is that pandemic supply chain stuff has delayed things to the point to where my computer isn’t gonna do very well with its planned use unless I upgrade the cpu which means I also need a dedicated gpu

[glacial basin]

= $1100

😱

[graceful burrow]

[full fossil]

you have fullscreen pc benchmarks on your phone?

[graceful burrow]

he took a picture of his pc...

are you good my guy?

[full fossil]

😂😂😂

[polar fern]

potato benchmark

[full fossil]

It was actually a screenshot from my pc

Just saved it on my phone

[polar fern]

fascinating tale

[full fossil]

Yes

[full fossil]

Bro my pc

Wtf just happened

[polar fern]

but yeah, i think going to the higher core/thread cpu and dedicated gpu is a good idea because it will actually improve performance both thermally and elimate the shared video memory which is sssllooww

[graceful burrow]

fascinating tale

[polar fern]

indeed

[full fossil]

that is how a laptop without a discrete gpu works

[polar fern]

kids trying to tell me how a laptop works

[full fossil]

thanks for telling me that im a kid

[polar fern]

mhm

[full fossil]

how about you tell an awesome story that you have covid for 40 minutes on youtube just to get 7 views again

[polar fern]

[full fossil]

its not stalking if I click on your youtube and view uploads

[polar fern]

then watch the chaos as chat services fill with automated response chains

what is tjm podcast?

i should tabulate how many movies i have watched, put them in a list, and then create another list of movies i want to watch & have not yet, and maybe give each title a rating or short note

[full fossil]

ok

[polar fern]

could do it by decade or autobiographically, not sure

probably by decade they were released because some of these i have no idea when i first watched

[hazy basalt]

Hello everyone ❤️ Hope you're having a fantastic day!

[round sparrow]

Didn't one just come out

[craggy oyster]

did i miss it again? come on 😦

and how to submit, post to twitter and ping linustech?

[graceful burrow]

They'll put out a tweet and you reply to the tweet

[craggy oyster]

a ok

I dont see a tweet on the twitter tho

[graceful burrow]

They aren't doing one so that makes sense

[craggy oyster]

bru-

[graceful burrow]

13 days ago

Less than two weeks ago

[glacial basin]

Jayz does them monthly iirc

[graceful burrow]

And if one "just came out" that means the video is done and posted
Meaning you missed your chance

[full fossil]

lol

[craggy oyster]

ok i give up, erase my ROM

[full fossil]

Reinstalling windows yay hahahahaah

BOOO

[craggy oyster]

[round sparrow]

I have JBL 950nc

[full fossil]

I can’t believe I have to reinstall windows

[round sparrow]

And like

This is about 2yr old

The cushions are worn out

[graceful burrow]

Homie one message would do it you don't gotta break it up into 15

[round sparrow]

And a button came off

[full fossil]

lmao and with slowmode on too

[graceful burrow]

For real

[round sparrow]

The mechanical button is intact and it's functioning perfectly

[full fossil]

Not working

thanks for letting us know Chuha

[round sparrow]

But

[full fossil]

🐷

[round sparrow]

Its kinda jank

[full fossil]

bro

[graceful burrow]

Bro you're getting less sympathy by the message here

[full fossil]

Yes

[round sparrow]

I just wanted to get the cushion and button replaced

[graceful burrow]

If I had a dollar for every message you sent I could take my parents out for dinner my guy

[full fossil]

Are you trying to ask someone to buy you new headphones

[full fossil]

🙂

[round sparrow]

And you cant

[graceful burrow]

You can't it seems

[full fossil]

I cant it appears

[round sparrow]

No

[full fossil]

I mean I wasnt gonna but just wanted to check

[round sparrow]

I am just ranting at the fact that JBL won't fix buttons or cushions on a 200 dollar headphone when u are ready to pay for it

[full fossil]

its out of warranty

[graceful burrow]

Rant in less messages you're just shitting up chat

[full fossil]

[round sparrow]

And that said button and cushion wore out in less than 2 years

[lethal copper]

But why so many messages

[full fossil]

Haha

[graceful burrow]

That's what I'm trying to figure out

[round sparrow]

Sorry that's how I chat

[lethal copper]

I usually write shorter messages and I still seem to send less

[full fossil]

why do you choose to rant in the LTT discord about you're broken headphones

go complain to JBL on twitter

[graceful burrow]

Go rant in #audio-tech so we don't have to have chat filled with one microrant

[round sparrow]

Cause i don't have friends?😔

Oh fun fact btw guys, if u want to run 2 discord accounts, either use an APK through bluestacks orrrr, install a ''desktop app'' through edge, it's amazing!

[mossy meteor]

isn't it still very buggy? From what i've heard?

[full fossil]

discord supports 2 accs on pc now

its a beta update

[slim yacht]

not from my experience using it now. many users have different experience, generally windows 11 is fixed after 21H1

[mossy meteor]

Yes i've seen that! But switching between accounts while ur in a call for example is a breaker.

[mossy meteor]

Mhm i see, i might actually go upgrade then, tbh windows 11 looks pretty slick if you ask me.

[full fossil]

not being able to open task manager by right clicking task bar is lame

[slim yacht]

iirc you can revert back in 10 days if you dont fancy it
you can give it a shot if you like, do fact check this tho i dont remember if it still applies

[mossy meteor]

Hmmm i see

[full fossil]

you can rollback as long as you dont delete previous windows installs

doesnt have to be in 10 day

[mossy meteor]

i've tried to test it on my virtual machine but it just didn't install

[full fossil]

did u give it 4gb of ram?

[manic torrent]

Disable rollback. Only forwards, never backwards.

[full fossil]

it needs 2 cores and 32gbs of storage

[mossy meteor]

Uhu i did!

i'll give it another shot

[full fossil]

alright

[karmic lantern]

Love your Sonic avatar + profile banner. Huge Sonic fan. 😄

[full fossil]

thx same here

[karmic lantern]

I want a Mania 2. :/

[feral wedge]

Fuck

[full fossil]

not sure if thats gonna happen

[terse gull]

yo, did LTT ever make a video on the new ryzen CPUs? not the 6000 series, i mean like the ryzen 5 5500

[full fossil]

no

[terse gull]

thats odd

[full fossil]

not really

[terse gull]

they came out in april this year, seems like a nice cpu if you ask me

[full fossil]

I mean there okay budget wise

[karmic lantern]

Yeah, sadly probably not. Although Origins did give me some hope. I read there were some issues between Sega and Whitehead. :/

[full fossil]

otherwise there quite pointless

[full fossil]

yeah

[mossy meteor]

hmm doesn't let me install the pro version

[full fossil]

just do home

pro and home will function the same

[terse gull]

cpubenchmark says its a 13% difference with the 5600x, and i paid basically half the price of the 5600x

[mossy meteor]

lol ''this pc can't run windows 11''

[terse gull]

well i paid 93 usd or so

[mossy meteor]

excoos me

[full fossil]

cpu benchmark is lame

there benchmarks suck

[terse gull]

hm

seems like a great cpu for the price, though i cant really see how i ended up paying less than MSRP if i bought it brand new lol

[full fossil]

sale?

[terse gull]

wasnt on sale

[smoky wadi]

guys DM me your memes folder

[full fossil]

they dont sell well at all my local pc shop has a shelf filled with them for the past 3 months

[mossy meteor]

It's not working laced 😦

[terse gull]

damn

[mossy meteor]

i got the Ryzen 7 5800x 😄

[terse gull]

well i guess its a good budget cpu but people go for the better one

[full fossil]

I guess just download it and rollback if u dont like it

[full fossil]

for $60 you get a whole generation of performance better

[terse gull]

yeah, im happy i bought it though

third world countries are tough

i was stuck with a shitty APU for 8 years

[full fossil]

oof

[terse gull]

APU plus GPU mind you

[full fossil]

oh

[terse gull]

15 year old me did not make very smart decisions

i was able to upgrade the pc to the r5 5500 and 16gb, then also bought a new case.. and the mobo obviously

i stuck with my old gpu and psu, but im gonna be swapping GPUs soon when i can afford it

hopefully a 3060ti

[full fossil]

i got a 3080 but i get my 3090 ti in 3 days

[terse gull]

why the upgrade

[full fossil]

4k gaming

I want higher fps on 4k

[terse gull]

ah

im ok with 1080p so a 3060ti would be amazing

[full fossil]

Im hopefully gonna be able to get a 4090 when they relase

[terse gull]

im not even gonna waste money on high refresh rates, im sticking to 60 fps

[full fossil]

yeah I have a 3060 ti in a theater pc its pretty good for 144fps 1440p

[terse gull]

damn you got money

[full fossil]

ig

[mossy meteor]

Ahhh

Regedit worked ;p

[terse gull]

i really wanna get a new monitor too, i only have a 10 year old TV with a TN panel

[full fossil]

dang

[terse gull]

im probably gonna buy a benq

[full fossil]

benq gaming monitors are trash

zowie is there gaming brand

[terse gull]

ive seen how they look, screen was really nice

[full fossil]

LG has really nice panels for monitors

[mossy meteor]

I have an MSI Optix G24 curved myself, 144HZ

Wasn't too expensive

[terse gull]

i dont need a GAMING monitor

[full fossil]

my main is a 4k 165hz LG ultra gear and its 1 billion colors and looks pretty nice

[mossy meteor]

Well 144hz is worth it if u ask me, i mean at least 144

[terse gull]

i dont care about milliseconds or refresh rates, im sticking to 60 anyway

[graceful jackal]

144 worth it my guy

[stray apex]

you can get okay 1080p60 IPS displays for like $100

[full fossil]

theres no point to get a 3060 ti then

[graceful jackal]

even if you are not gaming

[void spoke]

dont get a 144hz monitor, nor a an ultrawide, itll ruin every other monitor

[terse gull]

i have friends who said higher refresh rates only gave them pure problems

[full fossil]

lmao

how

[terse gull]

thats around what the benq monitor costs, 150 i think

[graceful jackal]

how

[full fossil]

its just a click and its enabled

[graceful jackal]

viewsonic also makes good monitors afaik

[agile dagger]

5800hs with mx450
Or
1260p with iris xe

[terse gull]

games kept giving them problems with the refresh rates, sometimes screens would go black in some of them

and its not like they bought cheap stuff

[agile dagger]

Which should i get?

[full fossil]

thats not a refresh rate issue

[void spoke]

that doesnt sound like a monitor problem, more like there was something wrong with their setup

[mossy meteor]

Woop W11 started the install laced hehe (:

[terse gull]

one of them had a 1070, the other one a 2070 i think

[full fossil]

ive never heard of refresh rates causing issues

[mossy meteor]

i mean, looks like it started

[full fossil]

nice

[terse gull]

theyre the only people i know with higher refresh rates lol

[mossy meteor]

Yeah i said that too early, got a black screen now

[full fossil]

lol

[terse gull]

also i dont think 144hz would be good with my cpu

[full fossil]

win11 vms are picky

best bet is to follow a tutorial

[full fossil]

cpu has no inpact on refresh rate

[mossy meteor]

i did, even made changes to the registry

[terse gull]

not what i meant

[void spoke]

i havent had any of those issues, and i dont have an insanely strong pc, and i do have a 144hz 1440p ultrawide

[terse gull]

i meant in games, i dont think a pc with a r5 5500 could reach 144 fps all the time

[mossy meteor]

Restart worked

[carmine merlin]

get a 6600, crank down the graphics a notch and it should get 144+ quite easily if you're not playing aaa games

[void spoke]

pretty sure a r5 5500 would be enough for 144fps, its more gotta do with the gpu

[full fossil]

my 4790k could run just fine with new games im sure a r5 5500 can '

my 4790k being in my theater pc

[carmine merlin]

And if you're playing aaa games, it should run at least 60+ on med

[terse gull]

my guy i live in a country where min wage is 70 usd a month, changing pc parts that quickly is not a thing one can do

[full fossil]

oof I get payed 47.50 usd an hour

[carmine merlin]

yes but the cpu does not affect the fps by much. The gpu is more responsible for fps (I think)

[terse gull]

im looking at some benchmarks with the r5 5500 and a 3060ti, highest settings do NOT reach 144hz, i can always lower them but i feel like i prefer 60 and highest over 144hz and a bit lower

[full fossil]

just isnt true

[terse gull]

literally watching a video on it right now

[void spoke]

thats raw performance, and since 3060 ti has dlss that should get your some frames

also using raytracing would eat frames

[full fossil]

triple a modern games most of the time will never run at 144fps

[mossy meteor]

I just realised i might need a new ssd before i even start installing windows 11 on my own system lol

[carmine merlin]

some games straight up doesn't let you get above 60

[void spoke]

like fo4

[full fossil]

my 3080 gets 104 fps at ultra raytracing cyberpunk at 1440p and at 4k 78 fps at same settings

[mossy meteor]

Oop

[void spoke]

what cpu are you using?

[full fossil]

me?

[void spoke]

yeh

[terse gull]

looking at the prices, 144hz monitors cost a bit too much for me

[mossy meteor]

C drive red bar

[full fossil]

my main has a 5800x3d my streamin rig has a 5600x and my theater pc has a 4790k

[terse gull]

getting the 3060ti is already stretching what i could eventually afford

[void spoke]

streaming rig?

[full fossil]

my 3090 ti comes friday

[full fossil]

I use it to capture my main rigs gameplay and stream it

[terse gull]

hell i cant even afford it yet, i just started working so its gonna be a few months lol

[void spoke]

id suggest that hold off on buying any computer parts until the prices actually coem down to msrp

[terse gull]

but im being paid in usd for making some websites, so that makes me very happy

[void spoke]

since they are still well over msrp over here atleast

[stray apex]

then just
don't

[full fossil]

I payed $1300 for a new 3090 ti

[stray apex]

my 3060ti runs my 1440p144hz display fine

[terse gull]

3060ti is 390 usd right now for me

[stray apex]

if you're gonna go 1080p60 a 3060ti is really overkill

[carmine merlin]

6500xt is good alternative (but not best value just cheaper)

[full fossil]

fr

[stray apex]

it's not worth the money

[void spoke]

if you get 75 a month, then 390 is ridiculous

[mossy meteor]

Omg it's sad to see that my virtual machine has more memory left on the c drive than my normal system

[full fossil]

thats a quarter of a years work

[terse gull]

i dont, im gonna start being paid a few hundred dollars a month hopefully, im just looking at pricing and hardware now

not buying anything for now

[full fossil]

still alot for your wages

[terse gull]

yeah, a computer is always gonna be a lot

but i dont want to need an upgrade a year or two down the line, i want a computer that will last a few years without needing to replace parts

[void spoke]

first off do you play enough to justify the cost?

[terse gull]

i do..

[limpid fern]

Thats like 2,50 ish a day

[lethal copper]

I removed swap and swap file on my server, was it a good idea?

[terse gull]

i already built a computer "according to our wages" and ive had nothing but trouble with it, pain in the ass

[void spoke]

cant you buy used parts? wouldnt that be a better idea in the long run?

[stray apex]

futureproofing is a lie
just buy a 6600 or something

considering your display it's not gonna matter

[terse gull]

the second hand market in argentina is terrible, i bought my cpu for the same price people were selling first gen ryzen 3s

[full fossil]

I work 60 hour weeks so im getting $2500 USD affter taxs but if you're only getting $100 a month I would not spend money on a pc

[limpid fern]

Dilu any idea on budget?

[mossy meteor]

err how am i gonna fix this, i got 9gb space left on my c drive

[terse gull]

only thing left to buy is the gpu, i already have all the other parts for my pc

[limpid fern]

Clear out junk

[terse gull]

im gonna save up for a few months and then buy a gpu

[limpid fern]

Budget? And current cpu

[mossy meteor]

yea it only clears 800mb though lol

[full fossil]

I only do I because I have alot of throwaway money for my hobbys but if you have to pay bills than I would not recommend you spend money on a gpu that costly

[terse gull]

ryzen 5 5500, no fixed budget but im looking at a 3060ti for under 400 usd

[limpid fern]

Manually get rid of stuff

[full fossil]

get a used 2060

[stray apex]

that's ridiculously overkill for your setup

[full fossil]

itll be just fine for 1080p 60

[terse gull]

they cost more, i just said the second hand market is not good here

[full fossil]

they have new ones

[stray apex]

a used 2060 costs more than a used 3060ti?

[limpid fern]

Where is here?

Dilu

[terse gull]

same cost as a 3060

[full fossil]

huh?

[void spoke]

jesus

[terse gull]

argentina

[mild hearth]

@limpid fern Argentina

[full fossil]

then get a 3060

[limpid fern]

Ah

[stray apex]

how much is a 6600?

[full fossil]

or even a 3050

[terse gull]

same as a 3006 also

[void spoke]

whatabout amd side? are they cheaper than nvidia over there?

[full fossil]

wack

6500xt

[stray apex]

why not just buy a 3060

[mild hearth]

can anyone recommend a good budget 144Hz+ 1440p monitor - under 30" and with VESA mounts (for gaming btw)

[terse gull]

the price difference on the 3060 and 3060ti might take me just one more month of saving up, which im willing to do

i think the upgrade is fine

[void spoke]

nvidias own Dlss is quite amazing tbh, so if AMD is cheaper yould probably be better off getting amd

[stray apex]

it's absolutely not worth a month of pay

[void spoke]

AMDs own dlss**

[terse gull]

its not a month of pay my dude

[full fossil]

?

[terse gull]

look

[limpid fern]

I thought you needed a 144hz monitor for YouTube

[full fossil]

get a better monitor before buying a new gpu

[limpid fern]

Dilu

[stray apex]

it's not worth waiting an extra month to get a 3060ti over a 3060 when your cpu is a 5500 and your monitor is a ten year old TN

[full fossil]

dont stay on 1080p60 with a 3060 ti

[mild hearth]

yes thats why i have 2 screens but i use 244hz for youtube

[stray apex]

you will not notice the difference between a 3060 and ti

[terse gull]

yeah that's double the price of a 3060ti

[limpid fern]

Really?

[terse gull]

3060ti is 113k pesos

[void spoke]

what are the prices for amd over there, or are you set on only nvidia?

[limpid fern]

Damn

[terse gull]

i wanna stick to nvidia

[mild hearth]

3070 IS $245>?????

WTF

[terse gull]

that's thousand pesos

nobody uses 3 decimal points lol

[stray apex]

250k argentine pesos is around two thousand usd

[limpid fern]

Noone is using decimal s

[mild hearth]

245k argentinan pesos?

that's 1.7k USD wtf

[terse gull]

dont use the google exchange rate, its not the actual one

the unofficial one is the one we go by, a single usd is 290 pesos, not whatever google says

so, divide that price by 290

[full fossil]

?

[stray apex]

ah
so official exchange rate is a lie

[terse gull]

yeah

[mild hearth]

844 USD

still a ripoff

[terse gull]

yeah that website is awful for pc parts

[tawdry rapids]

if you wanna stick to nvidia, pay the price for it, but as of recently with the amou t of stupid shit driver issues ive had on my LAPTOP which has a fuckin QUADRO. im done

[full fossil]

Dilu how much you get an hour?

[stray apex]

eh
that's about right for a commodity

the market for high end computer gpus is presumably not super large in argentina

[carmine merlin]

add 150 usd and you might get a 3090ti

[terse gull]

i just started working making websites, and i dont get an hourly wage

im probably gonna get 80 to 150 usd per project, several a month

[mild hearth]

not in EU @carmine merlin

[carmine merlin]

oh

[mild hearth]

my 1080p gaming card - the 3080ti cost me 1050 euro

[full fossil]

Nice@

[mild hearth]

which is 1050 usd

KEKW

[tawdry rapids]

im done as in i still dont care about the gpu im buying aslong as its fast for its price, but yea like, ive had so much fucking issue with nvidis drivers these last 2-3 months

[limpid fern]

What do you use for websites?

[full fossil]

I wish you luck @terse gull

[terse gull]

webflow

[terse gull]

thanks

[void spoke]

tbh id look at nothing lower than a X060 cards

[terse gull]

its a static website tool, im gonna start learning javascript soon so i can do better ones

[stray apex]

for 1080p60 basically anything current gen is fine

[void spoke]

yeah, but i like to futureproof to a point.

[stray apex]

there's no point

[mild hearth]

u cant futureproof

[tawdry rapids]

lmao

[full fossil]

I can code fluently in Java let me know if you need any help

[tawdry rapids]

u cant future proof with GPUs

[mild hearth]

futureproof is the biggest lie ever

[terse gull]

thanks

[void spoke]

nah, i still have 1070 ti and its still going strong after all these years

[full fossil]

Future proof is a concept that will never be proven correct

[limpid fern]

Im out here just using wordpress

[tawdry rapids]

eh, you could kinda get a couple extra bits and pieces for a custom loop to not have to do X in the future, but thats about it

[mild hearth]

anyone remember when 590 came out and people thought it was gonna last like 6 years? LMFAO I remember

Nvidia's 590 GPU

[terse gull]

yes you can, i got two friends, one settled for a 1060 and the other one for a 1070, the 1070 has that extra power some new games need and it runs fine

their main problem is their i7 6700k now

[void spoke]

not necessarily futureproof, but able to be competent 5 years after

[tawdry rapids]

no, you cant, please tell those friends to go play Tarkov on 1080p 144fps.

[limpid fern]

It lasted like 10 months

[mild hearth]

the only GPU that was ever "futureproof" was the 1080TI because the 2k gen was a disaster

[stray apex]

yeah, because monitors and games have basically gone nowhere the past five years

until raytracing is actually a thing, you'll probably be able to get away with a 1060

[manic torrent]

rong!

[limpid fern]

Yea i still use a 1080ti to this day

[terse gull]

futureproof doesnt mean being able to play games at their full potential, it means having the gpu being able to handle things for more time than their lower variations, it buys you more time until you need an upgrade

[manic torrent]

I'm sitting here in front of my 4k oled....

[mild hearth]

i wish I bought one. I hope 3080ti can survive half as long as 1080ti did tbh

[stray apex]

we had 4k five years ago
4k is ancient

[full fossil]

Me too…..

[terse gull]

i didnt futureproof my cpu when i built my first pc and i struggled with EVERY game for years

[full fossil]

Depends

[mild hearth]

4k is just getting affordable tho

[manic torrent]

for a jillion dollars, and not 120hz

[carmine merlin]

meanwhile me still with a 480i crt:

[mild hearth]

yeah

[terse gull]

my gpu is handling things well but i cant play any new games if theyre not in the min settings

[full fossil]

Dang

[stray apex]

still not any harder to render, and still no real benefit for gaming

[tawdry rapids]

thats not how "future proofing" is, nor is supposed to be, that means youre just holding out. that doesnt mean youe have proofed your future and are able to still do things perfectly fine, like gaming new games.

[terse gull]

its an r7 260x

[limpid fern]

And?

[void spoke]

im just gonna say that midrange is best range, strong enough to be good for a few years, and not as expensive as high end

[mild hearth]

agree tbh

well depends on budget

[carmine merlin]

I don't use often but there is still a bulky 480i crt somewhere in my house

[full fossil]

Enthusiast level is where its at tho 💯

[tawdry rapids]

yes you could not buy new GPUs because you dont want to, but newer demanding games always have issues running on decent settings at current gens popular resolutions

[limpid fern]

Just buy 2 a1000s

[stray apex]

nah

[polar pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHdEqWpexH0

[full fossil]

You joking?

[stray apex]

you'd be perfectly fine running games on a 2060super or something

[limpid fern]

Bro no

[tawdry rapids]

thats a 1 generation old card dude, tf you mean?

[mild hearth]

Anyone got that juicy 1440p 144Hz+++ screen recommendations ? Under 28"

[terse gull]

it kinda is, your hardware being able to handle things for longer times means you'll have more time to buy new parts, which is always good, you cant way going for a 1050ti is the same as going for a 1070 or 1080 for example

[full fossil]

2060 super preforms almost the same as a 3060

[limpid fern]

Yes

[full fossil]

[void spoke]

the diminishing returns on higher end stuff is painful tho, the jump from a 3060 to 3070 is nice, but the jump from 3070 to 3080 is not as nice, yould have to jump to 3090, but then youre selling your kidney

[stray apex]

you'd be fine with a 1070, too

[tawdry rapids]

2060super is still relatively new. im talking about 3+ gen old cards.

[terse gull]

especially here, argentina is not a place where you can just buy new parts all the time, thing's gotta last a good time

[full fossil]

Nah I only payed $1300 for a new 3090 ti

[manic torrent]

3080 at current pricing is good, 3080 at 2021 pricing was crazy

[tawdry rapids]

please run cyberpunk at mid graphics on 1080p at 120fps for me.

[limpid fern]

No you got it wrong, sell someone elses kidney

[mild hearth]

this

[void spoke]

yeah 1300 is enough to buy everything else along with a 3070

[stray apex]

2060super is about to be 3 gens old

[full fossil]

I got a 3080 in 2020 for $787 usd after tax

[terse gull]

you can stick to 60 fps tho lol what

[tawdry rapids]

it isnt yet.

[stray apex]

came out three years ago
thing is ancient in the PC space

[manic torrent]

great. .... most people couldn't.

[terse gull]

vulpix feels like some elitist

[mild hearth]

thats a good deal

[tawdry rapids]

you can, but it's a 70 series card, its not a 60 series card, if you bought the 1070, you either have a 1440p screen, or a 1080, 120hz+

[void spoke]

but then again im that one guy who doesnt bat an eye to spending good money on audio gear

[full fossil]

I camped out of microcenter for 4 days lol

[tawdry rapids]

doesnt matter when it came out, what matter is how many generarions old it is.

[terse gull]

or you can run games for longer with a 60 hz monitor, you dont need to have higher refresh rates just because of that

[stray apex]

and either way, it's an old card that still does fine because games just haven't gotten that much harder to run

[tawdry rapids]

then youre wasting money with your initial purchase of the gpu.

[mild hearth]

i cant understand how anyone still plays on 60Hz screens in 2022 ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️

[terse gull]

it performs for a much longer time though

[full fossil]

Fr

[manic torrent]

sooo, $787 + 4 days labour 😛

[tawdry rapids]

games have gotten harder to run, you arent running them.

[full fossil]

I met alot of cool people in line tho

[tawdry rapids]

it clearly doesnt.

[stray apex]

not really

[full fossil]

I got an experience and a gpu

[manic torrent]

oh hey, I'm guessing you're young and it was fun 🙂 I am old and have a wife and child 🙂

[stray apex]

like, sure, maybe you have to turn down your game from ultra to high on a 1080ti

[tawdry rapids]

send me a clip of you getting 120 fps on mid settings at 1080p in 2021+ releases.

[full fossil]

Im 27

[tawdry rapids]

on a 1070

[manic torrent]

Young enough 🙂

[void spoke]

i relly should get a new cpu, would it be worth it to jump from a r5 2600 to a re 5600x3d?

[limpid fern]

I just bought a 3080 online in 2022 for $550

[mild hearth]

WHJAT

[stray apex]

I have a 3060ti lmao

[full fossil]

Lol yeah, I was engaged but it didint go too far.

[tawdry rapids]

the 1080TI is THE only edge case card as of recently

[terse gull]

it clearly does, if you want all games to run at 144hz or 120hz youre gonna need an upgrade much sooner, getting a better gpu at 60fps means you can achieve 60 fps for a longer period of time, even if in the current gen its rated for 120+ fps @tawdry rapids

[tawdry rapids]

1080TI is an exception, not the rule.

[terse gull]

and if you dont have that much money to spend but CAN afford the extra price for a bit better gpu, its worth it

[manic torrent]

at 27 I'd been married for 3 years! .... that was a long time ago, I'm 41 now.

[stray apex]

also why would you use 1080p120 as a default

who on earth owns a 1080p 120hz display

[manic torrent]

I bought a 3070 EKWB for $1100 USD in 2021

[tawdry rapids]

if youre buying a card to run 144, or 120hz, and youre running 60hz after a couple generations have passed, then you haven't future proofed lmfao

[manic torrent]

my TV does 1080p120 or 4k60

[tawdry rapids]

120hz is the minimum acceptable high framerate, 144 is the standard.

here's a not dumb example of a 1060 getting 55-60 in elden ring

[limpid fern]

Laptops

[stray apex]

lmao
no
60 is perfectly playable

[tawdry rapids]

55 fps ._.

[full fossil]

Geeze lol, My soon to be wife I was engaged with died in a car accident a week before the wedding.

[limpid fern]

No

[manic torrent]

here's me running 60fps on forza, I guess I'm playing it wrong

[stray apex]

steam deck likes to do 40fps and that's fine too

[terse gull]

im talking about buying a car rated for those refresh rates when you already have a 60hz screen, not buying the card with a 144hz monitor and then downgrading the monitor.

[manic torrent]

oh shit, that sucks. sorry dude

[full fossil]

I get my steam deck in October

[void spoke]

anyone who hasnt, you need to get yourself a curved ultrawide 1440p, 144hz monitor, its.....enough to make you cry

[limpid fern]

Sorry for your loss

[stray apex]

high refresh rates are totally irrelevant outside of competitive pvp games which are much easier to run by design

[manic torrent]

I have one, 100hz, upgraded to 48" 4k

[limpid fern]

Is a 49” ok?

[full fossil]

Thank you guys.

[void spoke]

prolly

[tawdry rapids]

again, if youre buying a 1070 in 2017 or whatever with a 144hz display, and then in 2021 you cant get 144hz in any of the new releases

thats not FUTURE PROOFING

[full fossil]

Thats really big for a gaming monitor

[tawdry rapids]

thats HOLDING OUT

[stray apex]

who cares lmao

[limpid fern]

I dont use it for gaming

[full fossil]

Oh nvm then

[limpid fern]

I have 4 things open on it

[stray apex]

do you think you'll play like your favorite streamer ninja if you can get 144 fps in fortnite

[mild hearth]

@tawdry rapids don't forget 5870 - that ATI card actually lived for a WHILE

[terse gull]

remember how the conversation started by me just sticking to 60hz because i didnt need any higher but i wanted to buy a gpu rated for 144hz anyways

[mild hearth]

5870

[limpid fern]

27” is the biggest ill go with desktop gaming

[tawdry rapids]

dont frame it like your card is still performing in new games JUST AS WELL as it was in the games that generation had

[full fossil]

All hardware is future proofed until drivers are dropped

[void spoke]

yall dont understand the only thing you need to do to get to 144hz is to lower a few graphical settings

[limpid fern]

Yea?

[terse gull]

seems like vulpix doesnt

[tawdry rapids]

because it isnt, youre getting like HALF the framerate you used to on the same settings.

[stray apex]

?
I said that you could get by perfectly well with older cards nowadays

[full fossil]

Lol this argument is crazy

[terse gull]

yeah idk

[stray apex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0dJ5bwgmf0
also here's a 1060 doing around 140 average in apex on mid

[tawdry rapids]

you can get by, i never said you cant, i said future proofing doesnt exist.

[carmine merlin]

me (I own a laptop with a 1080p 144hz)

[manic torrent]

guys if you aren't getting 144fps minimum, you are garbage, your hardware is garbage, and you're playing games wrong.

[mild hearth]

yeah im going back to work f this

[void spoke]

it is indeed way off course than what it needs to be

[tawdry rapids]

not with GPUs.

[terse gull]

now im just gonna buy a 3090ti on a 1080p 60hz to spite vulpix

[tawdry rapids]

dude apex is from 2016

[stray apex]

you totally can, especially in the past five years when computer hardware stagnated hard

[tawdry rapids]

are you high?

[full fossil]

Yeah what this guy said 😂

[stray apex]

you are, apparently

[carmine merlin]

meanwhile my brother with a 60hz screen:

[mild hearth]

reading this convo i wish i was

[tawdry rapids]

no, you cant, future proofing with GPUs does not exist, as they do not perform the same for the given settings in newer games.

[terse gull]

me with a 60hz screen

[full fossil]

You can always use it as a cooker

Future proof its use case

[terse gull]

i feel like my point completely went over your head anyway since youre assuming everyone is doing 144hz

[tawdry rapids]

i mean yes, you can heat pizza with GPUs

[full fossil]

A nice sunny side egg as well

[void spoke]

the people who said futureproofing is a lie back in 2020 probably cried when the gpu shortage happened

[stray apex]

you can absolutely buy a gpu and just keep using it for a while
again
modern games have not become significantly more challenging to run, nor have display resolutions changed significantly in the past few years

a gtx 1060 is actually perfectly fine to play games in 2022

[manic torrent]

Laced is cooked.
Something is never future "proof", but if you overspec a lil it's usually good for a while.
As long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter.

[full fossil]

Unless your CD project red 😂

[carmine merlin]

didn't kfc do that but with chicken when they unveiled the kfconsole

[tawdry rapids]

no im assuming a card literally marketed for being used with displays that are above 1080p 60hz, are being used with 1440p 144hz, IE the 1070. people didnt, at the time, buy the 1070 for 1080p 60hz, as the 1060 was the card for that.

[terse gull]

thats what i wanna do with my gpu

[stray apex]

cyberpunk is actually totally playable on a 1060

[full fossil]

I have fun cooking with my rx 580 on the weekends

[void spoke]

if it runs on a ps4, it should run on a 1060

[tawdry rapids]

playable on your standards is extremely low.

[void spoke]

jut not at 60fps

[terse gull]

alright lets start over, this all started because i said i wanted to buy a 3060ti and stick to 1080p 60hz because i didn't need any higher res, or refresh rate

the better gpu would last longer running games at 60 fps, am i not wrong?

[full fossil]

Barely

[stray apex]

lmao
okay 1080p120 medium settings

[full fossil]

Ps4 crys hard play cp2077

Lol deleted so quickly

[tawdry rapids]

youd be spending more $$ on the newer card, but the newer card WONT last long ENOUGH to pay that $$

[manic torrent]

guys you're playing games wrong!?!!?!>?!

[mild hearth]

why was my stuff deleted :p

[tawdry rapids]

3060TI is fine.

[full fossil]

But its cool tho

[stray apex]

protip
if you sell it you get most of the money back

[void spoke]

all you gotta do is go midragne, since its got the best of both worlds, isnt too expensive, and is useable for a long time.

[tawdry rapids]

thats a low standard, i play at 5120x1440, at 120hz.

[terse gull]

the difference between the 3060 and 3060ti is not that big, thats what im saying

my original thought was a 3060, but maybe a 3060ti is better because it would run better for longer

[full fossil]

3090 ti playing rune scape is an unbelievable experience

[manic torrent]

6600XT >>>>>

[stray apex]

that's a silly standard, people are perfectly happy at 1080p30 for anything other than competitive pvp

[void spoke]

8k 360fps runescape is where its at

[tawdry rapids]

lmao, not 3 years later, ESPECIALLY not if you hold out selling it past 2 gens (THIS generation is an exception as we had a MASSIVE shortage)

[mild hearth]

I'm future proofing with my 5800x + 3080ti, gaming on a 720p, 30Hz screen - see you in 10 years nvidia 😎

[tawdry rapids]

what people are happy playing at fucking 30 fps?

[full fossil]

16k runescape 240 fps go crazy

[terse gull]

also keep in mind i dont have money to spare, my bar isnt high and i live in a third world country, if you play at ultrawide 4k high refresh rate, you gotta assume youre the 1% there @tawdry rapids

[stray apex]

most people you elitist

[tawdry rapids]

lmao what

[stray apex]

consoles are still by far the most popular gaming format

[void spoke]

small time, 36k 240 fps runescape

[full fossil]

Every switch gamer is, so yeah

[mild hearth]

this is cap

[stray apex]

well, okay, mobile is but that's not quite the same

[tawdry rapids]

people who are buying higher end/new PC hardware arent buying them to play at 30fps ._.

[terse gull]

youre obviously gonna need more upgrades if you want the best performance for really high end screens

[stray apex]

who tf was talking about them lmao

[carmine merlin]

"hey friend, why did you spend 2 years of your life getting an overkill pc? is it to play newer more intensve games or-"
"no, so I can play my old games better"
(an actual convo between me and my friend)

[stray apex]

we're talking about how older gpus are still perfectly fine to play games with

[terse gull]

im gonna go get my laundry now

[full fossil]

yeah, that bios is fucked. cant fix it no matter what i do, so im leaving it for someone else to try their luck

[tawdry rapids]

this WHOLE conversation is about buying a card NEW and using it way past its lifespan.

[mild hearth]

if you don't have at least 144hz + on your PC monitor and your phone don't even talk to me

[void spoke]

imagine playing 86k 144fps runescape

[carmine merlin]

yes. I own a switch

[tawdry rapids]

lmao, what is your even argument, this is so stupid

[tawdry rapids]

yea, same, i dont expect my switch to run 4K tho.

[full fossil]

I get payed $2500 after taxs a week so it only would take 2 weeks to build a rig like mine
without bills and mortgage

[stray apex]

if you bought a gtx 1060 in 2016, you could've happily used it for the past six years

[terse gull]

ive played through all of skyrim at 30 fps because my pc couldnt handle it

[full fossil]

Why not it can most definitely play 8k

[manic torrent]

facts: if you aren't running cookie clicker at 5000fps, you might as well not play

[tawdry rapids]

you could, if you don't play new games.

[terse gull]

and i still love the game, one of my favorites

after my cpu upgrades i still cant run over 30 fps because of my current gpu

[stray apex]

uh, you can absolutely play new games on a 1060, just turn the settings to low or medium

[full fossil]

Nah 6000 fps or higher or its unbeatable

[tawdry rapids]

cool? you have low standards.
