GCN at the time was a monster tho

[tired glade]

That was problem,it wasn't for game

Vega made main come back in server market

[dreamy rose]

everytime i read GCN i think of the ass backwards way nintendo labled the GameCube tracks in Mario Kart Wii.

[night heron]

vega was still decent value at a time

for a while buying a used vega 56 and flashing a vega 64 bios on it was a good option

[wispy marsh]

The USB-C port on the 10th gen iPad (2022) is USB 480mbps, AKA USB 2.0

[night heron]

not surprising

[wispy marsh]

Apple will 100% give EU the middle finger by using USB 2.0 on their USB-C iPhones next year

[night heron]

now that i doubt

the ipad has been a conglomeration of old unused parts for many years now

[tired glade]

It wasn't about value

[night heron]

so the slow usb isn’t surprising

[night heron]

the base model ipad

[wispy marsh]

It's not about the conglomeration

There is one iPad with lightning USB 3.0

[tired glade]

Thanks Apple

[manic torrent]

I just had to explain to my wife that monitor arms were an absolute dealbreaker - I don't understand why you wouldn't get that

[wispy marsh]

The only reason for them to not use USB 3.0 is so that you can rely on cloud storage

[night heron]

yeah a monitor arm is an objective good

it’s better for your posture and you’ll perform better

[tired glade]

Is the monitor feed on the desk?

[manic torrent]

I mean .. at least two.

[hollow pulsar]

Why give a faster USB interface? That just encourages people not to pay for Apple server storage.

[tired glade]

Yea,no space at all

[night heron]

does that mic actually pick you up from there

[tired glade]

Because it won't cost anything to Apple

[manic torrent]

yeah it does, easily. I also typically have the screen a bit further out

[night heron]

i’ve been wanting to do a similar mic setup but with a shotgun

no microphone i’ve used has been able to deliver usable audio quality at a distance like that

[manic torrent]

usable for what? I'm not exactly recording my #1 album here

[night heron]

and i’m sick of it being in my face

[hollow pulsar]

Shotgun doesn’t pick up better necessarily, it just is directional.

[manic torrent]

This setup is still 100000000x better than peoples random ass shitty fucking wired earbuds and shitcrap laptops

[night heron]

the gain has to be cranked so high that it sounds like a webcam microphone with how much unwanted noise gets picked up when i’ve tried

[manic torrent]

it also helps that the noise floor in here is super low

but I can also put it through nvidia broadcast if necessary

[night heron]

i’ve never measured my noise floor before and i’m not sure why

[manic torrent]

I often put other people through it, if they have bullshit background issues or just sound awful

[night heron]

i’ll do that when i get home

[manic torrent]

the noise floor here is the reason I have water cooling.

(at first, then I just wanted it to be pretty)

[feral rampart]

Ayo
Epic dropped Supernalia & Warhammer 40000 Mechanicus for free this week

Go add

[tired glade]

Based game mechanicus, sadly

[feral rampart]

It's free

Never played it

But it's free

[tired glade]

Xcom without % to miss

You don't need to know anything more

[feral rampart]

Oh okay

[wet wasp]

what if i bind my genetic code with a door knob

[tired glade]

[dreamy otter]

this lock launcher app is cool

[slate wing]

I Personally don't have a home screen. I just use a minimal launcher with a app tray and that's it.

[steady sky]

whatcha guys think 240hz 1440p or 144hz 4k

I have a 3080ti

[night heron]

that’s up to you

240hz is very noticeable for me but you may prefer the visual quality of 4k

if you’re thinking about going 4k the cooler master tempest gp27u just released, 27” 4k160hz IPS with 576 dimming zones for $800

[mighty grotto]

4K 144 easily, it's like a cheat code for productivity

[pliant karma]

Nice yea I’ve yet to customize my Lock Screen but ehhh later

[full fossil]

its pay day baby, time to order some parts

3080 ti or 3090, decisions decisions

or 4090 hmm

[tired glade]

Congrats

[slate wing]

The 4k panel will be harder to drive but like aliceif mentioned the screen space for shit is amazing.

[tired glade]

Just don't forget 4k monitor

[full fossil]

3440x1440 144hz gang

I'm so slow

I type 50-60wpm

damn 4090 vs 3090, big performance boost

didnt realize it was that drastic, guess we'll be going with a 4090

[slate wing]

Do you just have money to burn or something? Also the 4090 is kinda a fire hazard rn.

[full fossil]

I havent built a rig since skylake, so im around my upgrade cycle.

but yeah, got some funds to burn through.

helps when you get paid 7k a month.

lol

[pliant karma]

lol funds to burn through nice wording it

currently saving up for a new camera so that is next up to burn my pocket

[slate wing]

Modern photo cameras are based. Too bad they all suck ass for video tho.

[pliant karma]

oh yea I was going that route but now currently have my eye on the BlackMagic Pocket 6k Pro. Might be a cinema camera but once you get down the rabbit hole of this it never stops. But for cinematography it's nice.

[slate wing]

Few k usd camera that can't even shoot in lossless. Mfw.

[manic torrent]

Need to have a XT90 plugs on em.

[pliant karma]

Could save a bit for the non pro version, but the extra knits for the screen might as well

[pliant karma]

lol

[manic torrent]

will handle over 90A, so like 1kw @ 12V

[full fossil]

BlackMagic makes some nice stuff. I remember running their capture card from 2010-2011. Wonderful software and interface, I'm sure its since improved dramatically.

[full fossil]

Yeah I've been hearing about the cables melting, wild stuff.

Have they made one specific for the 4090 yet?

That 4090 is like a toaster.

Also did anyone see linus' video on the 4090 and power supplies, thought that was pretty interesting, the thresholds for what was permissible in terms of power requirements.

[slate wing]

> undervolts a card/limits clocks
> lower power draw
> surprised Pikachu face

[full fossil]

I think the surprising part was how much less power it required, obviously it would be lower.

[pliant karma]

Yea I’ve not used their camera extensively but somewhat. More of a RED user but personally owning one is a like owning a car not something up my alley just yet

I’ve rented reds but that’s about it

[full fossil]

Yeah those RED cameras are wild, I worked in video production in high school and the defacto was definitely blackmagic cameras.

Is this a hobby of yours or do you do it for work?

[slate wing]

RED are the anus of the photography industry. They own a few patents that have been holding back the whole industry as well as being anti consumer.

[pliant karma]

Also you know your prof trust you too much when he gives you access to the the equipment room when he’s not in the classroom

Well of course when there are classes but ohh boy holding them cameras you baby that thing

[young marten]

waits for 40 series restock

[wind pulsar]

You only have pessimistic things to say here, huh

[young marten]

very sus that there's no restock since launch

[slate wing]

No? RED is a bad company, that is all.

[slate wing]

Unless you really need max performance or cuda you could try waiting for more models or drop or RDNA3.

sweet little package

i need to find some tests on thermals for custom loops vs AIO coolers

with an i9 13900k + RTX 4090 its gonna get toasty.

[odd haven]

anyone got any phone recommendations under 1000$?

i was thinking about the pixel 7 pro

[night heron]

iphone 13 pro/promax

[versed panther]

It really depends what you want

if you want the best long-term device support go for an iPhone.

[night heron]

i will never touch a pixel ever again personally

they’ve had way too many issues and my pixel 2xl especially was HORRIBLE

[versed panther]

If you’re not too concerned whether your phone gets security updates 5 years from now, you can go with pretty much anything

I wouldn’t touch a Pixel since they switched to the tensor chip

similarly to samsung’s exynos chips they’re just garbage.

[night heron]

used oneplus phones are very cheap

[versed panther]

if used phones are an option things get much easier

[night heron]

for new phones i’d say go with a Oneplus 10T or an iPhone 13 pro max

[versed panther]

Last-gen gaming phones are always a good price vs performance plan

[odd haven]

i wanna use it mainly for some pictures/videos and chatting on whatsapp or whatnot

[versed panther]

if you’re willing to look past the aesthetics.

[odd haven]

the main thing that i need is a good battery

[versed panther]

the best battery is in the iPhones, then.

13PM beat every other phone in the same release cycle in the few tests i’ve seen.

[night heron]

my 13 pro max has unbelievable battery life

[odd haven]

what about the 14?

[night heron]

oh yeah the 14 is out now too

[slate wing]

MFW then "accidentally" break the boot loader preventing people from downgrading from Android 13.

[night heron]

i forgot about the 14

[versed panther]

you won’t be likely to get a 14PM for under $1000, though.

unless you get a carrier deal

[night heron]

from what i’m seeing the base model 14 pro is $999

pro max is $1099

[odd haven]

yeah where i live its 1000+$

[versed panther]

(which I don’t know if any are ongoing, but I traded in an iPhone 11 for my 13PM last year and the promo brought it down $800, lol)

[odd haven]

nice

[versed panther]

you can probably buy a 13PM from your carrier for a bit less than it’s original MSRP, and it’s still leagues ahead of anything in it’s price bracket.

[odd haven]

ight

thx a lot

[versed panther]

yep.

[odd haven]

ill look into it

[wispy marsh]

I don't get it, Microsoft. How is your excel crashing with 6 cells of alphanumerical strings no more than 40 characters each?

I can write it down faster than your excel is doing

[full fossil]

i have a pixel 6 that i got for $450 during a sale, no complaints.

[limpid needle]

The $425 iPhone SE is excellent bang-for-buck, if you're okay with Apple. Older design, but it gets updates for six years and has a CPU on par with high end Android devices.

[fading hemlock]

agreed

[full fossil]

My workphone is an iphone XR, no complaints from it for what its worth.

[fading hemlock]

meh
samsung these days is offering 4 years software and 5 years security anyways
for 25 dollars more ur getting a better phone which will still get top class software support with the galaxy a53

[slate wing]

If you consider android being "top class"

[fading hemlock]

iphone se is for the strictly apple audience

if ur somebody who can live with both android and ios like me then the iphone se kinda sucks

[slate wing]

Also daily reminder to disable all hardware mitigations.

[limpid needle]

If you prefer Android, go for it. I stick by my bang for buck claim though; the iPhone SE benchmarks more than twice as fast as the a53.

[fading hemlock]

well yes but better display, battery life, and a simply more modern design r somethings that one really cant pass up easily

[full fossil]

i stick with apple simiply because seamless connection to my macbook

[limpid needle]

Oh man, I switched from a MacBook to a Windows laptop, and I miss air drop so much. Dropbox is just slightly less convenient and it bothers me more than I thought it would.

[slate wing]

KDE connect does not have feature parity compared to apples solution but it does bring a lot of apples "sync" feature to android.

I personally use it for notifications and file transfer.

[sinful skiff]

I’m starting to think maybe the $1 pc was a massive troll

[fading hemlock]

the truth is
apple can make almost anything and still sell like hotcakes

[sinful skiff]

What about the Mac Pro

[full fossil]

I find samsungs software to be some of the worst.

much prefer clean android on the pixel.

[fading hemlock]

up until the pixel 7 they werent particularly good

pixel 7 is the first time i got tempted

[limpid needle]

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of stuff about Apple I don't love. But the UX is just so comfy.

[fading hemlock]

like genuinely tempted to trade in my perfectly good phone

[full fossil]

i mean what about the pixel 7 has changed in terms of software?

[fading hemlock]

its expensive where i live but im genuinely impressed with what google has done

[full fossil]

pixel 6 and 7 are identical in software, and even my pixel 3 XL that just recently got retired pretty much had the same ecosystem

[fading hemlock]

google has had an extra year to figure out dem bugs

[full fossil]

i'd still be using my pixel 3XL if the wifi module didnt crap out.

[ruby sluice]

Hey guys I'm a college student and I have an assignment to ask some questions to someone in a career field I'm interested in. Does anyone have/use a computer science degree?

[full fossil]

pixel 3XL's OS has been nothing but perfection.

[supple topaz]

Honestly I feel like phones in general haven’t changed all that much, at least for my use case. There’s only so many things I’d rather do on my phone than on my pc/tv/literally anything else

[full fossil]

i only wish the new pixels had a physical finger print reader like i had on the 3XL, easily one of my favorite features.

[full fossil]

exactly.

[slate wing]

Except Bluetooth will turn itself on if a device it knows nearby it's on.
Or the setting somehow being sightly worse then skinned android.
Or then nuking camera performance in one update

[fading hemlock]

agreed

[full fossil]

even though the pixel 3XL is old it still has an OS identical to pixel 6 and 7.

[fading hemlock]

phones have reached a peak for the most part

[full fossil]

minus the hardware improvements

[slate wing]

The pixel is about as bad as all the rest.

[supple topaz]

And I’m iOS so there’s even less of a reason to upgrade unless my phone catches on fire or gets run over by a car 😂

[full fossil]

i havent experienced those issues, maybe a specific update nuked the camera but never had any significant issues with mine

[limpid needle]

I'm bummed that Windows Phone 8 didn't go anywhere. The concept of just docking the phone and it turning into a desktop with the same apps was really nifty. Samsung Dex is a thing, but Microsoft's implantation and plans looked slick.

[supple topaz]

Rip

[full fossil]

microsoft needs to give it another go with the windows phone, but what they presented back in 2012 was clunky as hell

[fading hemlock]

im more interested in epyc genoa and bergamo

[dreamy otter]

For me it’s the ecosystem, having messages, FaceTime, phone calls etc on every device is awesome.

[limpid needle]

Clunky? Naw. That thing ran super smooth on phones with the computing power of a toaster.

[sinful skiff]

I actually know someone who works for Linus 😳

[fading hemlock]

96 full zen4 cores
pricings gonna be interesting
also zen4c should be interesting too

[full fossil]

we're talking about the same phone from 2012 right?

[fading hemlock]

zen4c brought down to laptops to take on intels e cores maybe???

[limpid needle]

We apparently had very different experiences with the Nokia. 😆

[full fossil]

theyve pretty much perfected the ecosystem imo.

[dreamy otter]

I’d love to switch back to windows but the ecosystem is holding me back.

[full fossil]

oh I never had one, just read about it. but if you say it was smooth ill trust it

[full fossil]

im not even a mac guy, but having a mac + iphone is a seamless experience.

[dreamy otter]

My favorite part of a Mac is the copy and paste that is shared between iPhone/Mac

[full fossil]

hell ive even considered switching, but it would only be a mac laptop and recently purchased a 2.5k lenovo legion 7i that pretty much does everything i need

[limpid needle]

You can switch back kinda incrementally. Use your Microsoft account for syncing todo lists and calendars, for example.

[full fossil]

yeah, its such a simple thing, but its huge

[dreamy otter]

Well, I have an Apple phone and it can’t really integrate well with Windows

that’s what I meant

[steel quail]

has linus sold the $1 pc yet

please say no

[supple topaz]

I am a pc user with an iPhone and Apple Watch, I don’t personally find macos adds anything to the ecosystem for me. If anything getting texts on a Mac is just annoying.

But due to my entire family being on iOS, I’m kind of forced to be ios, I prefer android. iMessage Group chats over sms is a disaster

[limpid needle]

Most of the killer integration features are things I never thought I'd use, like just sending files between iOS and mac. Or stuff I didn't know existed until it happened, like getting a warning when I left my laptop behind at a friend's house.

[supple topaz]

Hmm yeah true airdrop can be useful.

Maybe if I wasn’t into pc games I would care more about all that stuff

[supple topaz]

Also not sure but I doubt it, they seemed to have not figured out how they were going to sell it yesterday

[pliant karma]

Hmmm corvette shot time here we go

[steel quail]

yeah i was checking the twitter feed

[sturdy bridge]

new intel uhd igpu update dropped

[hearty spear]

because minecraft java is fuck-off ancient

And your mods are probably even worse

Also: Minecraft doesn't give a fuck about your fancy GPU. It likes your CPU.

[mystic ivy]

nice

[stuck stratus]

I'm a SWE major if that helps

minecraft is CPU-bound so only a fraction of that 3080 is being used

might as well throw on a shader or something to get the most out of it

[limpid needle]

Minecraft Java wasn't written for efficiency; it was written to get something out the door fast. Bedrock edition was the one that actual computer science was applied to.

[stuck stratus]

well minecraft java was originally written to literally run in a web browser (possibly why it's so poorly multithreaded to this day)

minecraft bedrock was built off pocket edition, which ran on ARM SoCs with lots of cores to take advantage of

[limpid needle]

It ran on the JVM. Shouldn't have made much of a difference.

[stuck stratus]

at the time, you'd basically have the choice between a CPU that has 1 core or a CPU that has 2 cores

wasn't really much incentive to scale for the 16c 24t monsters we have now

[limpid needle]

The mobile version launched at a time when the iPhone only had two cores, too.

[stuck stratus]

but that quickly changed and they had to make use of all available resources to get the game to be playable

[limpid needle]

There's a little bit of revisionist history here; there were definately mainstream consumer desktop CPUs with 4 cores around before mobile caught up.

[stuck stratus]

java was much older at that point

[limpid needle]

Yes, the JVM version didn't make much use of them, but that's not because it couldn't have used them.

[stuck stratus]

pocket edition was built from the ground up to accommodate devices ranging from 1-8 cpu cores (especially since infinite terrain wasn't added until much later in the game's lifespan)

[limpid needle]

There were architectural and engineering choices made in the development of each version that mattered a lot more than the platform each version was developed on.

[stuck stratus]

well whatever the reason, we have a more moddable but less efficient minecraft java and a super efficient but not moddable minecraft bedrock

[fresh flower]

I paid for a membership just so I could post that

[hearty spear]

Java is shit at multithreading

[finite cloud]

Worth

[limpid needle]

It's even worse at concurrency when the application is entirely single-threaded by design.

[echo river]

Do you have a background in designing large multi-threaded software? Minecraft's dependence on a single main thread is like saying your kitchen has no plates because they are all put away and kept in the cabinet.

[mystic ivy]

My Phone screen broke

[tired glade]

[night heron]

👻

[cerulean saffron]

Well. On Desktop Java, sodium iris mods with fabric make a huge difference... add culling mods (mob entity, leaf, blocklight entity, etc) and it made fps go from 47 (optifine) to over mostly 100 with iris shaders on my 5900x 2080Ti in a jungle biome

[rugged valley]

What the setup looks like lately

[night heron]

is that a flat ultrawide

that is strange

nice setup tho and the keeb is beautiful

i see the finalmouse box as well, goated

and is that a zaunkoenig mouse on your mousepad? based

[rugged valley]

Yeah, I have like 16 SL12s @night heron and yep, that is an M2K

The UW is a 34" Acer Nitro 3440x1440p 144hz

It's what I use to play my prettier games.

[night heron]

i see fire legend branding on the smaller monitor

i assume it’s the aopen 390hz 1080p model

and i see you have a tcl roku tv that’s probably a 6 series, nice

[rugged valley]

Correct, it is. I got it before people realized how good it was for the price.

I sent you a message of how the keyboard sounds. It has Aluvia keycaps in GMK Olivia colorway(they got the rights for it)

[wind pulsar]

I am extremely disappointed by your case choice but eh l, looks good

[rugged valley]

The case choice is for aesthetics

[wind pulsar]

I like natural wood desks more, but looks goos

[rugged valley]

But I repadded my 3090 and inside the case is Phantek T30s (hidden)

So the temps are actually iccy cold.

[wind pulsar]

The T30s aren't gonna help much with you choking your components by a hard front and top case

[rugged valley]

3090 has copper shims on it + thermal pads

[night heron]

the only thing i don’t like about the setup is the microphone arm

[rugged valley]

Sec, I have a video of the temps

[night heron]

otherwise it’s gorgeous

[wind pulsar]

I mean, it's quite packed, can't be helped

[night heron]

i don’t mean the location

it’s just not a premium monitor arm especially for his setup

[rugged valley]

That's after 10 mins of benchmarking pulling 400w

And it stays that temp even after 1 hour

So despite the NZXT case which I got for aesthetics...(at the time, they didn't have the flow series)

The temps are actually pretty good.

[rugged valley]

I cheaped out on the monitor arms and mic arms because good ones aren't that much better.

[wind pulsar]

The most notable differences are gonna be durability and carryweight

[rugged valley]

I needed something compact enough for the arm that it gets out of the way when I'm not using it.

[night heron]

the most notable difference is the adjustability

[wind pulsar]

You could've bought a RODE arm and you would never have to ever replace it again

[rugged valley]

Yeah, the acer monitors are pretty light so I don't need a better arm. This arm is pretty good tho

[night heron]

but highly adjustable arms take up a lot more space than his scissor arm

[rugged valley]

Eh, for $12 this is perfect and I need it to get out of the way

[night heron]

i actually just bought the same 390hz monitor today for $350

it arrives sunday

[rugged valley]

Literally don't have more space in the bedroom, I'm in LA. An 800 square foot apartment runs me $3k a month, lol

[night heron]

[rugged valley]

When I have more space I'll get the 98" desktop and get the proper monitor arms/mounts

[fading ermine]

i have been living under a rock

[rugged valley]

It's terrible 😦

And landlords be like, "Make 3x rent or you won't be considered"

[fading ermine]

how about you dont live in LA

[rugged valley]

I work in the Aerospace industry so I have to go into the office, I need to be in LA

[jade rampart]

Elon just got banned from his own platform

[fading ermine]

living exactly outside of LA and driving there is probably cheaper

[rugged valley]

I live in Redondo Beach, haha. That's still LA outskirts but still expensive

I'm paying $2.5K a month. Inside LA, 800 square feet apartments are $3k/month

It doesn't get much cheaper...SoCal is just expensive in general.

[fading ermine]

why is it even 3k

[night heron]

that’s just what it costs to live in LA

the location is everything

[fading ermine]

probably why i dont live in big cities

[night heron]

that same apartment but in my suburban town would be $1200, but then i have to live in an empty dead suburban town and not los angeles

[rugged valley]

Single family houses start at $1mil too...so

Limited on options.

[fading ermine]

holy shit

how much square foot are those

[rugged valley]

1200-1800 if you're lucky.

Over 2000 square feet is 1.25m and up

LA property market is inflated because it's an AirBNB hotspot

And foreign investors come in, buy houses for cash

[fading ermine]

we live in a flat and it cost 1500€ per month

its 74 m²

or 800 square foot

[rugged valley]

When you can buy a 1 mil house and rent it for 3k every weekend

[fading ermine]

difference to show

[rugged valley]

There's no personal real estate anymore, it becomes business real estate

[fading ermine]

los angeles moment

[rugged valley]

That combined with LA population/tourist attractions have caused everything to be nuts.

[fading ermine]

i wonder how it is in dubai and stuff

let me search

[rugged valley]

Before AirBNB, prices were more reasonable. Houses were around $500K for a starter house.

Which is still high, but if you have a six figure salary you can afford it

Now you need to make $500k a year in LA to buy a single family house...

[fading ermine]

what da fak

25k€ rent for 800 square foot in dubai

[fresh flower]

well actually the value of properties is because of corporations buying all the properties

[rugged valley]

Yes^^

AirBNB was the first cause of it

Then corporations realized they can make money too...

[fading ermine]

airbnb is meh

[rugged valley]

Personal housing in big cities is dead

[fresh flower]

no my dude the 2008 housing bubble was the first cause

[rugged valley]

Yea, but prices corrected and was okay up until 2014-2015

Then property prices went wild after that

[fading ermine]

hmm

interseitng

[fresh flower]

now what happened in canada in 2015 that could be correlated to housing costs increasing

[rugged valley]

If you wanna own now, you move to the middle of the US

[fresh flower]

[rugged valley]

and who wants to be in the mid west, there's nothing to do except shoot or play golf

[rugged valley]

what happened in 2015 canada

[wispy marsh]

there was an election

[rugged valley]

I got rid of that problem with cnc aluminum keycaps

[fresh flower]

klet's leave it at that

It'll shine... given enough time

Think I found the 4090 I want

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N4090AORUSX-W-24GD#kf

This bad boy

[frosty ocean]

sells kidney Now I can get my new 4090ti

[full fossil]

I hope some people run tests on the 4090 water cooled with a custom block.

[tired glade]

voltages is locked

[full fossil]

I'm curious about the temperature differential between the AIO on the 4090 vs a custom loop

Just interested in stock performance for the most part.

I wanna see if the AIO pretty much caps the cooling capabilities of the triple rad vs a thick triple rad with another waterblock from EK or somewhere else.

[modern terrace]

just had the weirdest thing. both of my monitors worked separately but not together. all of a sudden though, they just started working again

[atomic osprey]

vancouver is dying

[dull violet]

guys is it normal for the ryzen 5 3600 to run so hot

[leaden gale]

Define "hot"

[dull violet]

im just watching youtube and its at 51 degrees

[leaden gale]

That's fine under a mild load, my 3700X does about the same thing

[stuck stratus]

that's not hot

[dull violet]

and my gtx 1060 3gb runs at 31

right now

[leaden gale]

That's normal

[dull violet]

im really happy with that

i dont have to care how much sound my setup makes since i got some new headphones

[dull violet]

the thing is opening a new tab on chrome makes it sky rocket to 64 degrees

[hoary furnace]

I really enjoyed the random pc stream

[leaden gale]

It spikes to that temp and then drops down?

[hoary furnace]

I'm glad linus realised stakes mattered after the god dreadful deal or no deal videos

[dull violet]

yes

[leaden gale]

What cooler

[dull violet]

and when i first got the cpu my system went extremely unstable

[leaden gale]

Define "unstable"

[dull violet]

my resolution was all messed up which is normal but then strange stuff started happening such as a usb slot dying and causing bsods i got more bsods this month then i got in the past 4 years

it got more stable tho

[hoary furnace]

wait am i meant to be gpu limited or cpu limited in csgo at 4k

[tired glade]

CS is very light game

it will be more CPU limited

[hoary furnace]

funky, that's what i thought, but gpu is running max

not that it matters, we're still talking 250fps

[tired glade]

that normal

[wraith sonnet]

Windows is less stable now that has been in the last 4 years coincidentally.

[willow patrol]

what was the old discord nitro price?

the old standard plan or basic plan whatever it is called

it was 4.99

now its 2.99

they got rid of the 1080p 60 streaming at that tier though

which is honestly the only reason i ever considered it

moving that streaming option up to the 10 dollar nitro

bleh, not worth it for me nvm

it would be cool if they kept that 5 dollar tier with HD streaming along with the new lower tier, I would've liked that opposed to 10 dollars for HD streaming

on a related note anyone know any platform or way to have game streaming with little latency for free lol

just basic game audio and HD video nothing fancy for actual twitch streaming just for friends

as well as one that can support nvidia NVENC would be nice

[night heron]

originally there was no $10 nitro and $5 got you everything

[vapid smelt]

Classic is 2.99

[hollow pulsar]

Is Mixer still around?

[lilac sage]

no

[willow patrol]

Unfortunately, Mixer has been discontinued by Microsoft as of July 22nd and will now redirect over to Facebook Gaming

[lilac sage]

alot of ppl got free money

ninja signed a contract got a ton of money to switch to mixer then it dissolved in less than 6 months and the contract got voided and he kept the money

[gilded quest]

microsoft at least seemed to do right by the big-name streamers on the platform

[hollow pulsar]

It was the only streaming service around that I could think of that advertised low latency.

[sinful skiff]

I’m trading an iPod nano for a gtx 980

[finite hazel]

today I used a VPN on my phone to remote into my pc to turn on a virtual machine to access a different, custom VPN to be able to access a network of computers that is about 8,000 miles away from my location via level 2 networking by means of what is practically the world's longest ethernet cord, so that I could debug some software on said network

[smoky ember]

Hi I'm Ruby and I'm new

[finite hazel]

welcome (:

[smoky ember]

Had to leave 10 or so servers to join here because Nitro ran out yesterday 😦

[hollow pulsar]

Nitro kicks you out of servers?

[smoky ember]

No, but it doesnt let you join more until you're below 100

where the nitro cap is 200

[finite hazel]

(not counting my servers rn)

[hollow pulsar]

Oh I’m nowhere near that limit

[willow patrol]

so if you buy nitro for a month you can just mass join 200 servers and after the month is up it lets you keep them?

[finite hazel]

45 servers

[smoky ember]

Yes!

But enjoy the pain of having to leave 100 should you want to join a new one

[willow patrol]

gadzooks

[smoky ember]

The main reasons I have nitro are
Longer text messages
Unique discord ID
Server Profiles
Custom Emotes
Larger Upload size

I wish I could just pick those and pay some middleground

[willow patrol]

would I ever

just want to stream 1080 60 with acceptable latency for a friend stream

Trying out Ace streaming but I can't get the website to know i already downloaded the software so I can't progress onto the test portion

[smoky ember]

I live in a country with third world internet (Germany), I can't stream in 1080p anyways

[pliant karma]

me who is in a couple of servers purely for emotes

but total servers about 95 for me

[willow patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/fortnite-default-skin-fortnite-default-default-dance-dance-moves-gif-19634608

You might have missed the joke

[pliant karma]

Yeah but then they probably wouldn't make as much money

[patent mantle]

WHooooooooosh

[smoky ember]

It depends, video streaming is expensive so any bundle with no higher quality video streaming is a major cost saving

I just updated the graphics drivers

I have a 3080 ti and a i9 10900k

Gta at 2k resolution

[night heron]

youre cpu bottlenecked

[full fossil]

I can’t get over100 fps

[night heron]

put the extended distance scaling in the advanced graphics settings to its minimum/off

that nukes my i9 10900f

[full fossil]

Is that in the NVIDIA settings?

[night heron]

no it's in the menu inside of GTA

[full fossil]

Oh ok

[night heron]

you should also lower grass to normal, grass destroys performance too

[twilit forge]

GoodLuck with that 😆

gta v is extremely cpu demanding at higher settings

i have basically the same processor and i was cpu bottlenecked at 4k max settings with a 6900xt, which is also similar to a 3080Ti

windows isnt free lmao

[night heron]

yes it is

windows is 100% legal to download from microsoft's website and use forever for free

[valid siren]

On paper it isn't. In practice....

[night heron]

actually on paper it is legal to use for free

[valid siren]

It's about as free as winrar

[night heron]

it's when you activate windows for free that it becomes illegal

using windows unactivated is 100% legal

[hearty spear]

If you never buy windows, you get a watermark on the corner of the screen

[full fossil]

dont have another computer that can actually load up ms edge without exploding lol. also im looking for win 11 to get the most out of my cpu and gpu performance

[wispy flare]

I factory reset my pc and now my upload speed went to .3 anyone know how this happened lmao

[full fossil]

i want to activate it i dont want the crumby ass default wallpaper, and i need onedrive to back it up incase i lose files

you realize that a server ban is an IP ban, correct?

[hearty spear]

you're expecting a lot

[valid siren]

literally admitting to ban evasion my guy

[night heron]

there is literally nothing a server owner can do to prevent someone from making an alt and rejoining

smh if you're gonna get banned do it for a good reason. Like bashing Noctua too much.

[twilit forge]

Fuck Noctua, it's overpriced bullshit.

the nhu12a is the most beautiful air cooler on the market IMO

[hearty spear]

sus

[valid siren]

you take your single-tower air cooler, I'll take my LF2 which costs about as much money.

[night heron]

near the performance of a monster dual tower with far less size and doesn't interfere with anything on the board

[full fossil]

I want to buy the Linus screwdriver

[golden talon]

70 bucks for a screwdriver man

[echo ridge]

and you give 12 year old energy

[night heron]

i never said the u12a was a good value

i said it was beautiful

[dreamy rose]

what does Genshit gotta do with noctua insane cooling?

[twilit forge]

saw it on Twitch got entertained here

[golden talon]

I hate genshin

[twilit forge]

theyra the same

[valid siren]

idk looks like a pretty standard tower cooler to me, just with noctua fans on it

[hearty spear]

There's a buncha noctua fanboys around, some of whom even own the sweatshirts

[valid siren]

there's a noctua sweatshirt?

[echo ridge]

^

[valid siren]

Better than seasonic stans ig

[hearty spear]

Yes, and you /already/ know what color it is

[night heron]

damn i didnt know there's noctua merch, ill have to buy some

[dreamy rose]

hes using emotes from an NFT Game everyone laugh

[night heron]

i dont even own noctua products i just dont understand why people get so ruffled over their products

[golden talon]

Noctua sweatshirt prolly shit color

[night heron]

nobody is making you buy them

[hearty spear]

The products are fine.
They're just overpriced, when other coolers perform as well, or better, for less money.

[golden talon]

Like alienwares or razers

[hearty spear]

But they get so much press-talking time that /everyone/ goes for them.

[night heron]

blanket statement

[valid siren]

Issue comes up when people start seeing them as more than they are.

[night heron]

alienware has products that literally no other company does

[valid siren]

...which leads to overspending

[hearty spear]

Alienware is actually just /bad/ (At least for the towers)

[golden talon]

so does asus

[valid siren]

Dyson blade that plays games

[golden talon]

doesnt mean theyre good

[night heron]

yeah the alienware aw3423dw isnt good

it's a shit monitor
/j

[dreamy rose]

yeah. the tackiest worst piece of shit imaginable.

[hearty spear]

Alienware Towers are legit trash

[night heron]

every company has good and bad products

[valid siren]

monitor talk, don't care

[night heron]

except noctua, theyve never made a low quality product

[valid siren]

NF-F12 doesn't exist, apparently.

[night heron]

the only complaint that can be made against noctua is they aren't a good value

theyve never made something actually poor quality

[hearty spear]

I will cop, I've never seen a bad noctua product. Just very overpriced.

[night heron]

that cant be said for almost any other brand

[dreamy rose]

Low Quality visuals

[golden talon]

True German (Hungarian) engineering

(austrian)

[night heron]

i think the beige+brown is pretty personally

it's based to see in a world of black+grey+rgb

[valid siren]

NF-F12 is a genuinely poor performer, though

[echo ridge]

no.

[dreamy rose]

ngl it is nice. people just dunk on it though.

[night heron]

im also someone who finds the ugliest shirt in the store and says damn i want that

[hearty spear]

But I'll take some of the nicer, and cheaper, Thermalright or DeepCool products over Noctua any day of the week.

[night heron]

thermalright has some pretty great value products

[leaden gale]

I really can't justify the added cost of Noctua products in the vast majority of cases

[echo ridge]

arctic and scythe crying in the background

[night heron]

i wouldnt buy individual case fans from noctua but their coolers are barely more expensive than other brands

[hearty spear]

@night heron
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NP-H1-Brown-Unisex-Premium-Sweatshirt/dp/B084X9CS59

[golden talon]

The F12 has very good static pressure though its not that bad

[night heron]

$110 for an air cooler that doesn't break and has been proven to receive free future mounting bracket support over a decade later on many occasions is basically no money

[dreamy rose]

i found your perfect thrift then
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/614944188836085802/1035749404688252988/unknown.png

[hearty spear]

IDK much about scythe, but Arctic also makes some good products.

[valid siren]

Which is great, you're just paying for the price of 2-3 air coolers upfront

[night heron]

a decade is 1/7 of your life, $110 is absolutely nothing in that time

[echo ridge]

fuma 2

[hearty spear]

AK-620 beats it

[echo ridge]

still pretty good

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7J6p99/deepcool-ak620-zero-dark-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ak620-bknnmt-g-1 all stealth

[night heron]

arctic makes the best value case fans but ill never buy their coolers, theyre absolutely hideous

[hearty spear]

it is, and still cheaper than the Noctua

[golden talon]

i personally would just get a $35 peerless assassin

[echo ridge]

also is cheaper is some cases

[night heron]

their air coolers and their water coolers are hideous

[golden talon]

destroys every other cooler in its price bracket

[valid siren]

Or you could get 80% of a U12S : >

[hearty spear]

dollar for dollar? it's the fuckin' king

[night heron]

but you have to realize not every shopper cares about buying the absolute cheapest product they can

[echo ridge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gvGbt6/deepcool-ak620-wh-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-ak620-wh stealth whats that

[valid siren]

I don't disagree, my issue is just when people start thinking they're buying something better than they are.

[golden talon]

my peerless assassin keeps my PBO 5600X below 70 C at all times

[night heron]

i mean it just depends what youre rating them on

their build quality, mounting system, and customer support is unmatched

but yes their performance is poor value

[echo ridge]

the freezer esports used to be a good deal

[night heron]

never said theyre bad value theyre just hideous

[leaden gale]

This is a bad take, sorry

[valid siren]

If someone wants to make an informed purchase of a D15, sure, go ahead. But someone who just watches a jayztwocents video and walks away with the idea that the d15 is the best cooler to ever cooler is just being taken advantage of

[night heron]

how can it be a bad take if appearance is subjective

[echo ridge]

it's always a bad take

[night heron]

yeah me disagreeing with you on what i find pretty is a bad take

[twilit forge]

Gs i got lost

[night heron]

to me their air coolers look like happy meal toys and their water coolers look like something a 10 year old would find badass

but i acknowledge theyre good value and i use arctic case fans in my rigs

Im your fan

[valid siren]

Correct, do not engage in intimate relations with your random access memory.

I love my RAM slot... a little too much

[echo ridge]

this collection disagrees https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/collection/c537d31b-a24a-411f-83a8-3119bc50022b

[echo ridge]

also mine was the only one not on tile or hard wood

[full fossil]

"better airflow" but dustier parts

[dull violet]

is there a pcie slot extender and if so would it bottle neck a gtx 1060 3gb

like one that can turn 1 pcie slot into 2

[hearty spear]

what do you mean turn 1 into 2?

[full fossil]

he means cut it in half and now u got 2

[wind pulsar]

I can't ping mods because of filter evasion. Beautiful. x')

[fluid ridge]

LST

[wind pulsar]

Prolly because it's public chat

[dreamy rose]

LSD

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, his name was changed because of it, but apparently it got changed back or he rejoined the server

[dull violet]

so is there one of those?

[fluid ridge]

absolute based name

[hearty spear]

What do you mean turn 1 into 2?

[full fossil]

yeah any. u just need knife and boom

[wind pulsar]

I'd say he means a pci-e slot splitter or something

[dull violet]

plugging something into a 16x slot that turns into 2 16x slots

[dreamy rose]

dont think it works like that

[hearty spear]

no, that doesn't exist.
At best you could find a bifurcating splitter to get 2x 8x slots

[dull violet]

darn it

[hearty spear]

Physical size of x8 is the same as x16, but half the bandwidth

[dull violet]

i guess ill need a new motherboard for sli

[hearty spear]

SLI is dead and stupid

NOTHING supports SLI anymore, literally

[dull violet]

bruh

[dreamy rose]

SLI just makes your experience worse don't try it

[dull violet]

i want another slot anyways just in case

plus my motherboard has pcie gen 3

[hearty spear]

SLI was only supported by like 20% of games when companies actually made SLI products

And you legit had to turn it off frequently because games ran WORSE if you had 2 GPUs enabled

[dreamy rose]

bad username

[dull violet]

then idk what im gonna do with my gtx 1060 3gb when i upgrade

[full fossil]

Sell it

[hearty spear]

sell it? Put it in a second system?

unless you're doing high-end deep learning or similar? Multiple GPUs is a waste of space

[dull violet]

actually i just remembered i was planning on giving it to my friend

i feel bad for him because he has a bad pc and hes like the nicest person ever

[dreamy rose]

my name isn't pink

[full fossil]

Water cool it have fun with it

[hearty spear]

There ya go.
I've had a GPU in my closet for 3 years.

[dreamy rose]

i'm not a Mod

[hearty spear]

Hello Langley!

[dull violet]

he would not benefit that much from it tho

his cpu is not that good

i wanted to give him my old processor that was a amd processor with vega 3 which was better then what he had at the time because he had no gpu at all

[hearty spear]

a 1060 doesn't need much to be good.

a 9 year old 4th gen is plenty to run a 1060

[lilac sage]

1060 could prob run good with a 2nd gen intel cpu

[dull violet]

actually it requires an amd ryzen 5 3600 for that

[wind pulsar]

900, 10 and 16 series is beautiful

[dull violet]

athlon 200ge which is newer then the gtx 1060 bottlenecks it by 50%

[lilac sage]

peak FE cards were 10 series. fight me.

[dull violet]

next year i want to get a 2060

or 2080 if i can

[valid siren]

First off, yes, it’s a zen 1 part which is part of the lowest end lineup AMD put on the AM4 platform. Second, bottlenecks aren’t a static figure

[wind pulsar]

Personally, for me not when it comes to looks, I like 20 series more, but generally? 10 series best

[hearty spear]

going from a 1060 to a 2060 is a bad upgrade. Don't do it.

[dull violet]

what about a 2080

[lilac sage]

20 series looked too simplistic

[valid siren]

Especially given how cheap 6000 series GPUs are right now

[hearty spear]

you'd find cheaper 30 series that are as good, or better

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, that's why I like it

[lilac sage]

I think the lettering in the middle looks dumb

[dull violet]

i guess your right 3060s are already down to like 600 dollars (cad)

[hearty spear]

3060 TI are faster than 2080's at nearly everything.

[wind pulsar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1035307447784587314/unknown.png 😏 Good luck finding what you'd like

[lilac sage]

especially the Super cards.

[dull violet]

is upgrading to a 1060 6gb worth ?

[hearty spear]

no

[lilac sage]

the super lettering on RTX 20 Reference looks dumb af

[dull violet]

wtf is that

[lilac sage]

a hierarchy of GPUs

[dull violet]

what if i can get it for like 100 dollars

[wind pulsar]

A very annoying to read GPU performance hierarchy chart

[hearty spear]

it's still a very small upgrade

[full fossil]

Agreed

[dull violet]

i might go to an amd gpu tho

[hearty spear]

then look for 6700 XT or 6800

[dull violet]

i dont have to look now i have to wait until 2023 for a new gpu

[hearty spear]

then look in 2023, because more GPUs will exist

[dull violet]

im at my max when it comes to hardware for now i could go for more storage

i already have 1.5tb of storage

wait no 1.7tb

[hearty spear]

looks at 30TB NAS sitting on his hutch

looks at 6TB of SSDs in his desktop

[wind pulsar]

Btw, what really surprised me is that the 10 series Titan, the Nvidia Titan V, literally holds up against a 3070 still, which I find insane

[dull violet]

i have 2 versions of windows on this pc

i have 11 and 8.1

dual booting

[hearty spear]

If you're banned how're you on the server?

[dull violet]

bros probably using an alt

[hearty spear]

jebus

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, that's the LinusSTips guy

[dull violet]

how much do those cost

[dull violet]

bruh

[velvet marsh]

It's like 1k usd all together

[dull violet]

you know ban evading with alts is bannable right?

[fallen wadi]

don't know if i missed it, but what was the weekly lttstore deal?

[wind pulsar]

@tender glade Avoiding bans, apparently

[hearty spear]

That seems cheaper than it shoulda been

[dull violet]

i dont think he has a social life

[velvet marsh]

Maybe 1.5k

[hearty spear]

I spent nearly 1K on 5x12TB drives

[dull violet]

bro i get 10 dollars a week for going to school

[velvet marsh]

https://shucks.top/

[hollow pulsar]

What do you store that needs anywhere near that amount?

[dull violet]

go to school for 2 years for like 1 month of 70 tb

[hearty spear]

RAID Z2, so it's only ~30TB of live space

[lilac sage]

I feel like thats in productivity.

[dull violet]

you guys are cool

[lilac sage]

wheres the Maxwell Titan X guy with 16GB of GDDR5

[wind pulsar]

Well I took it out of the relative performance chart, so who knows.
I doubt there's gonna be gaming comparisons

[hearty spear]

mp3's, mp4's, AVI's, etc.

[wind pulsar]

Nevermind, of course someone did a video on it

I really should've figured that someone had a Titan V lying around xD

[dull violet]

my school laptop from 2018 has 1.10 ghz

[dreamy rose]

my school laptop from 2012 has 2.5 ghz

[hollow pulsar]

I remember when we broke the 1.x GHz barrier

[dull violet]

LMAO

some processors that support 98 have 3 ghz

[dreamy rose]

that was when AMD was king

[dreamy rose]

arent those Pentium 4s?

[dull violet]

amds better then intel change my mind

[dreamy rose]

no change needed

[wraith sonnet]

av1?

[dreamy rose]

🤓

[wraith sonnet]

the problem is they're functionally different, they literally haven't been the same processor since the 8086 days

[hearty spear]

I broke that before they sold 1GHz CPUs

[dreamy rose]

OCs don't count.

[leaden gale]

Yes they do

[hearty spear]

Athlon 800 Blue Die
w Pencil Trick
Running at 1GHz daily, and I went a little higher for playing around sometimes

[dreamy rose]

they don't come Out Of The Box

[leaden gale]

So what

[twilit pawn]

can anyone tell me what does it mean when a video says 1% low comparing components in a game

[wraith sonnet]

I remember when the 1ghz barrier was broken in windows xp

that was like 5 months ago

I never said for a processor, I was referring to ram

[hearty spear]

Average Framerate is the average of 100% of all frames in a section
1% low is the average of the SLOWEST 1% of all frames

[dreamy rose]

AMD came out Stock past 1Ghz first. sure Overclocking got there first but stock speeds, it got to 1Ghz

[wraith sonnet]

@leaden gale @dreamy rose this discussion you two are having is tribalism at best, free marketing at worst.

[dreamy rose]

nobody is picking up retro Athlons

[dull violet]

somebody should do thread ripper + gt 420

[wraith sonnet]

neither company is without sin, Ryzen's launch literally had "booth babes", more recently intel had the twitchcon foam pit while AMD is still having issues with x670

[surreal bison]

Lenova had the foam pit not Intel

[hearty spear]

no

[hearty spear]

was that the foam pit that broke someone's back?

[wraith sonnet]

it was a joint thing

[dreamy rose]

so many people who didn't bother to look at this incident

[wraith sonnet]

yes, a adult actress broke her back

[leaden gale]

I wasn't arguing in favor of any brand though

[dreamy rose]

Her Career is ruined pretty much

[wraith sonnet]

intel....

[full fossil]

AMD FTW

[wraith sonnet]

FTW is EVGA

kek

[full fossil]

Rip evga

[dreamy rose]

yeah every company does bad things and has hard times. so what if AMD just still has yet to get everything out?

[wraith sonnet]

Amd not ironing the x670 shit out directly effects me as an SI

[dreamy rose]

they aren't on GPUs anymore. when they get to making Radeon cards they will be Winning again along with the Consumer

[dull violet]

thread ripper + gt 220 = best pc

[dreamy rose]

we have to have patience, something will probably be said next week too

[velvet marsh]

I tried TR and a gt240 but it wouldn't boot

[full fossil]

I bet the tr could render things quicker then the gt220

[dreamy rose]

definitely

[velvet marsh]

lol

[dull violet]

are gtx gpus still being made

[full fossil]

No

[velvet marsh]

Yes, gtx 1630

[full fossil]

Lmao

[dull violet]

wtf that exists??

[velvet marsh]

1630-1660ti

[full fossil]

Oh its real

[dull violet]

wait so are gtx 1060s still being made

if not then im suprised it maintains a good price

[lilac sage]

i dont think so.

[dull violet]

were they mass produced?

[hard oriole]

lots of laptops with 1660s

[lilac sage]

the reason why it has a good price is that its the most common GPU in the world

[dull violet]

so it got mass produced?

[lilac sage]

well mining was pretty big back in 2016

AMD mass produced polaris cards

there are also multiple 1060 versions

1060 3GB, 6GB, and the ultra rare 5GB

[hard oriole]

my laptop is a 1660 just cause i would like to play the odd older game on it but it has way more cpu power

[dull violet]

5 gb is rare?

[lilac sage]

yes

chinese only

aliexpress is the best place to find them

[dull violet]

bruh its just a slightly worse version of the 6gb

[lilac sage]

ye I didnt say it was better

its just less common

man I cant embed

at one point the GTX 1060 was more common than AMD GPUs as a whole

[vapid smelt]

hell no

[dull violet]

so was the 1060 mas produced

[lilac sage]

all gpus are mass produced

[night heron]

yes there is a lot of 1060s that exist

its been the most popular gpu for many years

[dreamy rose]

both in units and models

[lilac sage]
