lenovo doesn't usually lock down bios that's weird

[sonic barn]

I manually tried reflashing and there was no tutorial online

it was locked

the ryzen one isn't allowed to be undervolted too since that security update awhile ago

[fresh flower]

oh wait i'm looking at the lenovo bios now

[sonic barn]

but battery life is good if using 0.4mhz

[fresh flower]

that looks cringe and barebones

but thinkpads aren't designed to be tinkered with like that so I get WHY they did it

[orchid swallow]

?? is it for esd or something

[sonic barn]

I used fpt something

it was all binary stuff

like a table

[forest valve]

My 11th gen i5 works pretty well with windows 11

I don't want to divide the SSD for windows/Linux

So I just leave it on windows

However discord customer service is a bunch of idiots and there's an issue with screen sharing conflicting with Intel HD graphics drivers

I made a support ticket which they just played hot potato with and kept telling me it was my network

However when I uninstall my graphics drivers I can screenshare just fine, but yea it's my network

Literally the ticket is still open I think and they just keep telling me it's my network

[slate wing]

Im talking about transcoding with handbreak to 1080 HEVC afterwards, not in OBS itself.
IIRC shadowplay has the option to record in HEVC.

Good news is google is getting massive backlash for trying to remove JXL from chrome. Massive fuck up on their part with arguments that are plain lies.

[vapid canyon]

is it just me or did Linus’ voice get deeper?

[muted cairn]

@vapid canyon How deep can Linus go?

[vapid canyon]

No seriously unless I’m just that exhausted today 🤣

[muted cairn]

Maybe he's losing his voice for all that videos he has to make for LMG

[wintry dagger]

he dropped his balls finally

only took 800 years

[vapid canyon]

[muted cairn]

or maybe Linus is aging like fine wine.

[wintry dagger]

his skin says otherwise

The most recent video guide came at a perfect time, right after I finished my build

[atomic osprey]

In a COD Domination Game Mode, does a team's score increase if a Point is being contested?

[graceful burrow]

It's not like there was any new information in it

If anything it came at a genuinely bad time because amd are announcing new shit tomorrow

[sly peak]

Linus boomer tips

[leaden gale]

I wonder if that was a deliberate choice...

[sick moat]

guys, I'm looking for a video that I saw on youtube - it was in black an white, mostly CGI, where a man, dressed in a suit and a hat is meeting a girl that is on the opposite side on the road, he walks towards her and is hit by a car and stuff. Does that ring a bell for anyone?

probably 1940s or 50s - esque

[vapid canyon]

Wait amd is announcing stuff tomorrow?

[valid siren]

Yeah, the recommendations also just weren't very good. Especially in the PSU department.

Groupreg in a $1000+ build just isn't an acceptable way to save a buck

or no the bx1 is dc-dc in the 750w variant nvm. Still lacks OTP.

Isn't it 230V only, though?

Also worth noting that it's a 670W unit, not a 750W.

BM2's great though, would recommend if you're on a budget

[leaden gale]

Tomorrow is the RDNA 3 announcement

[vapid canyon]

Dang, it’s too late to return my gpu

Will using the sidepush button of the scrollwheel wear down the wheel bad/fast?

[leaden gale]

You mean the horizontal scroll?

[regal forum]

my G502 X Plus has it

you can push the scroll wheel sideways either way

and its a programmable 2 buttons

[dull granite]

linus dropped it

[leaden gale]

I own a wired G502 HERO, and owned a G502 Proteus Core before that, using the horizontal scroll on your mouse isn't going to damage it or wear it down faster in any way

It was designed to be used

[regal forum]

ok great thanks

[gilded quest]

Yes, you should be fine

[regal forum]

yesh gaming

wait sorry

i thought you were talking about my mouse

your not getting 165Hz with that laptop

even at 1080p unless the graphiocs are cranked down

what gpu does it have?

[tidal python]

Do any motherboards support Ryzen 9 5900x out of the box?

[regal forum]

what games though

yeah no way your getting 165fps

[night heron]

no worries man itll be a very long time before next generation mid range gpus launch from either company

[regal forum]

yeah but its pointless getting such a good monitor

[night heron]

theyre gonna launch the 7900xt first and itll take many many months before we see the 7700xt in stores

[regal forum]

on medium settings, my i5-10400f which is much better than your cpu, and my RTX 3060 much much better than your 1650, got like 140-150fps avergae

[night heron]

set your monitor to whatever its maximum is

and research what the best overdrive mode for your display is

[regal forum]

on something like warzone ill be supruised if you get more than 100

you dont need to

[night heron]

yeah why would you do that

[regal forum]

why would you want to decrease it

[night heron]

freesync/adaptivesync/gsync does that for you

all monitors let you lower the refresh rate from their maximum

[regal forum]

no, dude you can set it at 165Hz or whatever it is

but in games it wont output that many frames

so it wont actually be 165Hz experience

[night heron]

so?

[regal forum]

using windows though yeah it will be 165Hz experience

[night heron]

its not like a 1080p165hz monitor is overly expensive for his gpu

it's fine

[regal forum]

yeah get it so in future

when you upgrade you can still use this monitorwhat monitor are you gettig?

[night heron]

1080p240hz ips is $150 nowadays

1440p165hz is like $250

1440p240hz is $400

[slate wing]

why get 1080 when 1440 is only 50% harder to drive and gives you so much more screen space and clarity

[regal forum]

[night heron]

77%

but i agree you shouldnt be going with 1080p unless you specifically want a 24" monitor

[regal forum]

78 but yeah he is right

can you get the one i sent you?

its great for price

25" 1080p240hz IPS $150: https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/fi77

[slate wing]

3110400 / 2073600 = 1.5 its literally 50% more pixels

[night heron]

i sent the link of what i recommend

[regal forum]

wrong

[night heron]

there's a deal on it atm

[regal forum]

2560 x 1440

[slate wing]

oh shit i did 2160

[regal forum]

= 3686400

[slate wing]

yeah

[regal forum]

3686400 / 2073600 = 1.778

your system will run it

so when you are browsing internet etc.

you will get 144fps

[slate wing]

i can do 400 fps in osu at 1440 on a 1050ti thats a very vauge quesiton

[regal forum]

but when gaming probably not, but literally depends what game

[regal forum]

he said warzone

but get it anyways so in future you dont need to upgrade monitor again

[night heron]

even if you can only get 160fps in a certain game that doesnt mean you wont benefit from a higher refresh rate outside of that one game

[regal forum]

and yes you can set the Hz lower if you want

[regal forum]

exactly

i suggest the one i sent you

[night heron]

1080p + 78% = 1440p
1080p x4 = 4k
1440p x4 = 5k
4k x4 = 8k

24.5" 1080p240hz ips for $150: https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/fi77

if you want 1080p id go with that

upgrades from there would be:
acer xv252q: 390hz ips $350
zowie xl2566k: 360hz tn $600

buying a 1080p144hz monitor is a waste of money

it's going to be worse than the dell i linked you in every conceivable way

theres many variables to a display, not just its resolution and refresh rate

pixel response time, contrast, input lag, color volume and color accuracy, viewing angles, overdrive tuning, osd features

theres no sense in going any lower than the $150 monitor i linked you

no not a 1080p144hz panel

no there isnt any

1080p144hz is a very very budget resolution/refresh rate combo in 2022 and there havent been quality models made for that combo in a long time

even if you only get 160fps that 240hz dell monitor will still be better in other ways

[fluid ridge]

wtf

i paid 200 canadian dollars for a 1080 144hz monitor

[full fossil]

yeh and the 1080 240hz is same price cad

[fluid ridge]

i got scammed

[dreamy rose]

how the fuck does that happen?

[fossil frost]

wtf are you talking about

none of what you said is true

[analog pumice]

i got 1080p144hz was definitely not a budget monitor at 1500

[night heron]

1080p144hz is literally as low as it goes for gaming monitors

95% of them have horrible out of box calibration and horrible overdrive tuning

[fossil frost]

not at all, there are gaming monitors that are still 75hz, there are gaming monitors at 144, or 165... and the refresh + resolution isnt all there is to a monitor... the panel its self and who makes it, can make a HUGE difference, there are monitors that are 60hz and are WILDLY better than a lot of 165hz monitors, because they are just more well made

[night heron]

no sense in buying one when a 240hz ips panel with no major issues is $150

[fossil frost]

a 240hz ips at $150 is going to look fucking horrendous, and have about 9 actual colours its capable of displaying

[night heron]

it doesn’t

it’s a decent monitor

[fossil frost]

then there is something wrong with your eyes

[night heron]

yeah i don’t think so

i’ve never even seen that display in person anyway

[analog pumice]

i do agree with bizzeh here

[night heron]

if you want to lead people into buying shit monitors that’s on you

everything i said earlier was true

i’m gonna go shower

[fossil frost]

calling 1080p@144hz, with no other information "very very budget" is an incredibly stupid thing to say to anybody

and is quite an elitist closed minded thing to say too

"everyone must game at 16k @ 500hz or they are just plebs" is how it comes off

[night heron]

1. you didn’t read everything i said

2. no it isn’t elitist when i literally suggested him a similarly priced alternative

[fluid ridge]

it iz what it iz

[fossil frost]

it is, because you are suggesting more pixels and more hz is better... monitors work the same as cameras... more pixels and more faster isnt always better, quality of what you buy is far more important than those specs on their own

[night heron]

you didn’t read my messages

[analog pumice]

but the similar priced alternative will most likely have poor colours, build quality and features compared

[night heron]

for the third time

[night heron]

that’s the thing, it doesn’t

and i clarified that in the messages that neither of you read

[analog pumice]

i will bet my monitor on it

which according to you is a "very very budget" monitor

[night heron]

.

[night heron]

.

imagine if you guys read what i said before replying

that would be insane

[fossil frost]

imagine saying that, but still making a blanket sweeping statement about all 1080p@144hz being "very very budget"

[analog pumice]

exactly

[night heron]

yeah because quality 1080p144hz monitors haven’t been made in years

[fossil frost]

yes, they have, they still are

[night heron]

you’re coping

[fossil frost]

is this shit? https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-24gn600-b

[analog pumice]

i gotta say here, im pretty sure youre the one coping

[night heron]

THE ALFREDO HAS ARRIVED

[fossil frost]

is it "very very budget"?

[night heron]

my shower will have to wait

[analog pumice]

thats cheaper than my first monitor and ALLOT better

[fossil frost]

im also looking at what you just typed on that monitor right now 🙂

[analog pumice]

i gotta be honest, i wish that was my first monitor

[dense coral]

Never seen that spelling of a lot before

[night heron]

yes

[analog pumice]

ikr, its faster that way and sometime years ago it started just sneaking its way into my typing and here we are

[night heron]

yes

[analog pumice]

oke, you just sound privileged AF

[night heron]

calling something budget isn’t an insult

it just is what it is

and paying $220 for a 1080p144hz ips monitor in 2022-23 is a scam so that’s why i say it’s shit

[dense coral]

How?

[night heron]

1440p165hz ips panels are $250 and 1080p240hz ips panels are $150

both with no glaring isssues

[analog pumice]

then show me one that is genuinely good

[dense coral]

I don't see how that makes it shit

[hoary furnace]

if its a good price for you

i'd go 1440p at that size but your budget is your budget

[tawdry rapids]

whats ur system?

[fossil frost]

explain yourself other than just "yes"

[tawdry rapids]

hmm

i guess that monitor is fine

[fossil frost]

minecraft isnt that light, and its incredibly inefficient

[analog pumice]

i wouldnt necessarily call minecraft a light game..

[hoary furnace]

get it

[fossil frost]

at 1440p, i would say you may still get around 90-100fps

[analog pumice]

im scared of 1440p, 1 fps and 2 the price of the monitor...

[fossil frost]

your setup will be fine for MC at 1080p

it might not always drive the monitor to full refresh rate, but... you dont need it to do... and, just turn on freesync, and you are winning all the way 🙂

the hz doesnt really matter so much as the quality of the monitor...

[hoary furnace]

what

[fossil frost]

stupid people think that only the resolution and the refresh rate matter... but there is a lot more to it than that (not saying you are stupid, just saying that there are those types of people)

buy whatever monitor is within your budget for your monitor, and be happy 🙂

[analog pumice]

i mean, for gaming nowadays 144 is kinda a must but i do agree that id rather get a good panel 1080p144 than a lesser panel 1440p144 or 1080p240

for the same price

[hoary furnace]

that one is good too

[fossil frost]

ASUS seem to have a very very similar layout on their site, and specs, and images, and terminology for their monitors, to LG... almost like LG makes asus monitors

[hoary furnace]

hdr 400 people arent too impressed with, but it's something

[fossil frost]

HDR in windows is dogshit anyway, and doesnt exist in linux

[hoary furnace]

has @analog pumice mentioned using linux

[fossil frost]

no, nobody did, im just pointing out that HDR for PC gaming shouldnt really be a consideration, because its all shit anyway

[analog pumice]

my monitor has HDR, only game i use it in is Destiny 2

and its annoying because it makes ALT-Tabbing a nightmare since windows wont let me use HDR in windows because only 1 of my monitors is HDR and switching from the HDR game to non HDR windows just doesnt want to work...

just dont look at HDR, its not worth it

[hoary furnace]

oh im entioned the wrong person sorry

[analog pumice]

yeah i see now but still, HDR bad, dont weigh it in when considering a monitor

[undone cape]

I want to buy this, but it appears it has the wrong color:https://www.lttstore.com/products/waterbottle?variant=39489873870951

[echo ridge]

I would take a crappy 144hz monitor then a good 60 hz one

[echo ridge]

Hdr 1600

[night heron]

hdr is not bad

your monitor doesn’t display actual hdr

[night heron]

you don’t read legitimately anything that i say

at this point it’s like you’re intentionally trolling me by ignoring me

i’m not gonna debate someone like that

[fossil frost]

point out your explanation then plz

[dreamy rose]

i'm the opposite then.

[echo ridge]

i play esports

[dreamy rose]

eh. Esports.

[fossil frost]

never been a fan of the term "esports" dont know why... "competitive gaming" absolutely fine... just dont like "esports"

[echo ridge]

i have like 3k hours in cs

[night heron]

electronic sports

[echo ridge]

like 600 in val

[swift idol]

I run on a treadmill for an hour a day to improve my esports performance. It's damn hard work.

[dreamy rose]

it must have been all the crap released by EA Sports then

[fossil frost]

running on a treadmill isnt an esport, its an actual sport

[swift idol]

Nah bro, espots is really demanding. They want to call it a sport so I assumed I needed to train like an athlete 24/7 like in the Olympics

[night heron]

i think its about time for me to swap monitors

gonna take down my acer xv252q and put up my odyssey g7

tryna decide if i like 24.5" 1080p390hz ips or 32" 1440p240hz va more atm

[dreamy rose]

has anyone actually seen any normal person play Fifa or any sports games?

[night heron]

yeah 2k and madden are pretty popular

fifa isnt very popular in america tho

[fossil frost]

the FIFA games are wildly popular in the uk, and most european countries too

[dreamy rose]

i've never seen anyone actually playing it. weird.

[dusty rune]

FIFA FOR THE WIN

[night heron]

yeah that makes sense

im sure fifa is huge outside of america

[dreamy rose]

i mean i hear people talk about it but never seen anyone actually play

[night heron]

but football soccer is pretty low in popularity here

[dusty rune]

as a fellow european, fifa is my heart and soul

[echo ridge]

can i have the one you don't like

ill buy it

[night heron]

why do u wanna buy my monitors

[fossil frost]

i played a lot of fifa when i was younger, then i grew to hate it... but i know a LOT of people who still play it, and play it in tournaments too

[echo ridge]

my 144hz one is broken

[dusty rune]

390hz seems very unecessary

[echo ridge]

165

[dreamy rose]

it is

[night heron]

hard to quantify unnecessary when we're talking about displays

it's all relative and preference

[dusty rune]

its really not that hard

[night heron]

it is, it's not an objective matter

[dreamy rose]

you only need 144hz. 240 at most.

[night heron]

you don't "need" anything, it's a computer monitor

everyone's usecase is different

[dusty rune]

if u had a 240hz and 390hz you could spot the difference?

[night heron]

i do own them both and yes i can tell

[dusty rune]

weird specimen

[night heron]

will i perform better in game? no

can i tell it's smoother? yes

[fossil frost]

or a liar that has just convinced themselves of that so they can justify their bad purchase?

[night heron]

performing better in games is not the only metric of "necessity" with a display

[dusty rune]

theres always an excuse to be trash in games

[night heron]

how about you use it for yourself in person and form your own opinions

crazy concept i know

[dusty rune]

how much was the 390hz one

[night heron]

$350

[dusty rune]

wait seriously?

[echo ridge]

Thats cheap

[night heron]

yes it's not expensive

[dusty rune]

surprisingly cheap

[echo ridge]

Thats less then what I paid for 165hz 1440p a couple years ago

[dusty rune]

i was expecting 500$+

[night heron]

the acer aopen xv252q is a fantastic overall panel, regardless of it being 390hz

[dusty rune]

my 200$ 1440p 144hz oddysey g5 solos

[dreamy rose]

Need as in for a High Refresh rate. not basic use. anything over 240Hz is a waste of Money

[echo ridge]

420hz panels when

[dusty rune]

the ghosting is surely not terrible

meh, i cant spot it in normal use anyway so

[night heron]

500hz soon

[slate wing]

i just want affordable 4k@144

[night heron]

asus is making a 24.5" 1080p 500hz monitor using a BOE 500hz tn panel

but i agree that 240hz is the point where you should prioritize picture quality over refresh rate

thing is even if this monitor was 240hz i still wouldve bought it

it being 390hz is just a free bonus

[dusty rune]

if you have the money, why not

[analog pumice]

im just considering if my pc can run an upgrade to my monitor, itll be a big increase in pixels from the current 1080 i got to the new 1440

[night heron]

it has excellent calibration, excellent response time and overdrive tuning, great contrast for an ips panel

great backlight strobing if you want it

superb viewing angles and a tolerable matte antiglare coating

[dusty rune]

you can set games to 1080p if it has bad performance anyway

[analog pumice]

yeah im not gonna get an upgrade to then play on the same res

[dusty rune]

radeon 7000 seems to be interesting if thats interests you

[slate wing]

when doing anything on the desktop or watching video its much better.
also things like FSR is a thing

[night heron]

imo most people dramatically underspec their monitors

[analog pumice]

i just got my 6900XT...

[night heron]

so many people will build $2000 rigs and then buy a $250 monitor

the part youre actually looking at

[dusty rune]

oh lol youre gonna be fine at 1440p

[analog pumice]

it struggles at 1080

[dusty rune]

i thought you had something old

[night heron]

oh i have a 6900xt too, it runs 1440p fantastically

[dusty rune]

in what games bro

[night heron]

no it doesnt, youre cpu bottlenecked

[analog pumice]

this isnt your runof the mill 1080 tho

[slate wing]

Currently my monitor (at time of buying) is the most expencive thing about my setup.

[night heron]

i promise you

[analog pumice]

this is 3840x1080

[night heron]

youre still cpu bottlenecked

[analog pumice]

aka more pixels than normal 1440p

[night heron]

i was still cpu bottlenecked at 1440p and even 4k in many games with my 6900xt and i9 10900

[analog pumice]

5800X doesnt even break a sweat

[dusty rune]

6900xt is a 4k capable card

[night heron]

every processor on the market right now bottlenecks a 6900xt in 1080p/1440p in many games

[slate wing]

Are you sure its not a single threaded task/game?
core counts/overall usage means nothing if its using 2 cores

[night heron]

when youre trying to play at 240hz+ anyway

[dusty rune]

u sure its not raytracing cyberpunk?

[analog pumice]

i mean, that runs like shit, i get like 50-70 fps in that

[slate wing]

Why would you subject yourself to that.

[night heron]

even a 13900k dramatically bottlenecks a 6900xt when youre trying to play at 240-390hz

[analog pumice]

hey, its a good looking game

[night heron]

i plan on upgrading to a ryzen 7 7800x3d when it releases

[analog pumice]

my biggest bottleneck is that i bought this system a year ago so i cant justify upgrading to next gen

[night heron]

theres no reason to make a one generation upgrade anyway

going from ryzen 5000 to 7000 is pointless unless you just have hella disposable income

[analog pumice]

since 7000 is switching to a new platform i dont think id even want a first wave new gen anyways

[fossil frost]

at least there is something we agree on

[night heron]

yeah i think its about time i throw my g7 up on my monitor arm instead, brb

[analog pumice]

im just starting to feel that my CHG90 was first of its kind cuz it literally needs to warm up during the winter now before it works properly

and that G9 neo does look really nice with the mini LEDs...

[night heron]

jesus christ this g7 is heavy

that was an exercise installing it

and wow does it look massive coming from the 24.5" panel

feels like im using a tv

[vapid canyon]

Alright

[jagged linden]

My ltt backpack just came

[night heron]

W

[dusty rune]

after using my 27" monitor i cant go smaller

laptop monitors seem so small

[vapid canyon]

That is how I am about 34 inch ultrawides

I can’t use anything that isn’t an ultrawide

[dusty rune]

i didnt have the bag or desk space for an ultrawide

[vapid canyon]

Bag space?

[dusty rune]

bag like money

[vapid canyon]

Oh alright

[dusty rune]

my desk is pretty small so yeah

[vapid canyon]

How big is your computer?

Does it take up most of the desk?

[dusty rune]

no, like a quarter

[vapid canyon]

Oh

[dusty rune]

actually i dont even know

its a bit less than a quarter

[analog pumice]

im so used to 49" ultra wide now im gonna mentally die if they stop making these at some point

[vapid canyon]

That is a possibility

The majority of people don’t buy ultrawides

[dusty rune]

i doubt they will stop

[night heron]

i thought super ultrawide would die off after the original g9 but then samsung made the neo g9

and there's another new revision coming out yet again

[vapid canyon]

Mine gives my gpu a nice workout

[analog pumice]

i want that neo bad but they still cost 1700 euro

[night heron]

using a TCL 5120x1440 240hz va panel and around 5000 dimming zones instead of the 2000 on the neo g9

[vapid canyon]

I only use some Samsung one I got for like $500

[analog pumice]

i was dumb enough to pre-order the CHG90

but god do i love this monitor

[vapid canyon]

Same for mine

I just built my first desktop after using laptops for years, so now my ultrawide is finally getting some use

[jagged linden]

I got number 7799

[vapid canyon]

Also do you guys know of any good mouses?

After 5 years of use mine is just about to give up

[analog pumice]

no if you look in battlestations, i have poor taste in peripherals

[jagged linden]

Glourios model o or model i

[vapid canyon]

Not the fortnite mouse please

[jagged linden]

Wdym fortnite mouse

[analog pumice]

what kind of mouse do you have now?

[jagged linden]

I use a model i

[vapid canyon]

Some POS razer mouse I wasted $100 on a few years back

[analog pumice]

hmm, my only experience is with razer but i have only gotten their best models which they actually put some effort into... so i cant judge well

[vapid canyon]

Over the years I’ve started hating razer products the longer I use their stuff

[analog pumice]

BUT, i would start by looking at what kind of grip you use, as i think there is enough forums that will recommend certain mice for certain grips which will narrow it down to something that would be comfortable to you

[vapid canyon]

When this mouse was new it was good, but now it double clicks a lot, when I hold down something it lets go and clicks, and the left click side is nearly broken off

[analog pumice]

yeah, im not REALLY happy with mine either but im too autistic about my mouse grip to get something else

[vapid canyon]

The mouse itself works fine except the left click side

[analog pumice]

Do you have a Basilisk?

[vapid canyon]

Mamba Wireless

It’s like $40 now I think instead of $100

Oh wow

[analog pumice]

Hmm, do you remember what year you bought it?

[vapid canyon]

$64 at the cheapest, 118 at the highest

[vapid canyon]

The warranty is beyond gone

[dreamy rose]

you have yours laid out like an IBM?

[vapid canyon]

I’ve tried to get warranty to replace it but support never responded

[analog pumice]

No not warranty, i have the exact same problem with my basilisk

[vapid canyon]

Did one of the click buttons crack?

[analog pumice]

That's why I asked, maybe if the were from around the same time it was poor manufacturing at the time (or still cuz the be acting extremely money hungry the past few years)

[vapid canyon]

2018 or 2019 If I remember correctly

[analog pumice]

Not crack but its sort of loose for mine, not registering clicks or letting go when holding down

[vapid canyon]

I have some cheap $5 off brand big lots iHome mouse and it works amazingly with my mbp, but my razer mouse that cost much more is barely surviving 4 years

[vapid canyon]

I have that same issue but worse

For me when I click it sometimes lets go and reclicks

It gets annoying when I’m in the middle of work or in a game like battlefield

OH NO

It just completely broke off

Check pms

[analog pumice]

Damn, that's impressive

[manic torrent]

I didn't say shit about fry sauce! I was commenting on the inherent fraud in LDS missions.

[dull violet]

im watching linus

with a blanket and a pillow

[manic torrent]

excellent.

[manic torrent]

Just razer things

[manic torrent]

There are many good mices

[graceful burrow]

G502

[fossil frost]

G502 Hero Lightspeed

[dreamy rose]

is that the Dictionary plural of Multiple Mice?

[fossil frost]

Mice is already plural

[dreamy rose]

Exactly

[fossil frost]

What is the plural of moose? because i want it to also be mice

or meese

[hybrid shell]

Logitech G502 Hero

[dreamy rose]

the plural of Moose is Canada

[analog pumice]

I vote meese

[fossil frost]

or to stay plural of goose is geese, so, should be meese

[graceful burrow]

It isn't meese, it's just moose

[fossil frost]

i shall start a campaign with the OED then

[dull violet]

if they release a rtx 4060 it would probably be weaker then a gtx 1060

they better make it a gtx 4060

[graceful burrow]

The 3060 is on par with a gtx 1080 my dude in no world would your assumption be true lmao

[dull violet]

ya but the 4080 12 gb was worse then a rtx 3060 ti

so whos to say the 4070 will be like a 3060

[analog pumice]

I wish AMD was just a bit less serious and instead of the 6950xt they'd have called it the 6969xt

[graceful burrow]

The 4080 12gb got unlauched because it was an overclocked 4070 kek

[dull violet]

and a 4060 would be worse

[graceful burrow]

You're real out of the loop

[manic torrent]

yeah { {mice} {mice} } is mices 😉

[graceful burrow]

Bob

If that is your real name

[manic torrent]

obviously it isn't, but it doesn't matter

[graceful burrow]

[manic torrent]

I still answer to it IRL, and use it in third person

[torpid gazelle]

does anyone know how to fix exe files not opening

[manic torrent]

have you tried turning it off and on again?

[torpid gazelle]

yes

had the problem for a while

[graceful burrow]

Have you tried right click, properties, unblock

[torpid gazelle]

yeah

[graceful burrow]

Cool
#1027757333117415424

[torpid gazelle]

it says my pc doesnt have anything to open exe files with

[manic torrent]

sounds like you should use some sort of search to help you

if only such a thing existed

[graceful burrow]

I doubt it does tbh
If it did, everyone would use it

[manic torrent]

and there would be websites that ironically refer to it, that show you how to do it

but they would probably be banned, because that's pretty condescending

and god forbid people be condescending

[graceful burrow]

I don't think it's condescending enough

[manic torrent]

oh, I don't disagree

I'm not sure you can ever be TOO condescending in matters such as this

[graceful burrow]

I believe it to be an impossible feat.

[dreamy rose]

opening .exe files is an Impossible feat on stock windows

[graceful burrow]

[torpid gazelle]

exe is a verry regular file u know that rigth? like discord.exe

The file that u open

to open discord

[graceful burrow]

He knows he's just being a silly goose

[torpid gazelle]

xD i thougt he was serious

[graceful burrow]

You can never be too sure nowadays

[manic torrent]

Indeed, many people seem serious, but they are in fact extracting liquid waste.

[full fossil]

does the 6900xt destroy a 3080?

[manic torrent]

like, if you hit it with it like a hammer?

[full fossil]

performance wise, i got an rtx 3070 ti and just thinking about upgrades

[graceful burrow]

A 6900xt outperforms a 3080 yes

It also outperforms a 3090

Not in raytracing though

[full fossil]

ah dont need ray tracing anyways

[graceful burrow]

You know
The two games you play that support it

[full fossil]

yh

[vapid canyon]

Thanks

[full fossil]

i just play fps

csgo and warzone maybe

[vapid canyon]

Thanks also

[full fossil]

flight simulator

[vapid canyon]

And thanks also, I will take a look shortly

[manic torrent]

G502x plus. it's stupid expensive, but hey

[manic torrent]

need 4090 for 120fps 4k DLSS RT MSFS

[full fossil]

okay

[left mountain]

could you guys tell me if rtx 3060 is compatible with Intel Core i5-8400 ? a gpu of a friend of mine just died and he needs to buy a new one

[manic torrent]

yes, it is

[full fossil]

i bought my 3070ti for £550, if it sells for 700 listed (which do sell ive seen on ebay) i could probably buy a 3080 or better

[manic torrent]

but I would get a 6650xt or 6600xt instead, cheaper and better

[left mountain]

even with this mobo MSI Infinite 8RA-094XEU ? his pc was built like years ago just so he could play some games so yeah just making sure

[manic torrent]

pci express is compatible since forever. Main limitation of 8th gen is no windows 11 support, but that isn't an issue right now.

[left mountain]

great thanks his pc with evereything was just 500 yeah it was really on a budget i told him man its time to build a new baby for you

[fierce night]

I’m being offered both of these at the same price ($600) which one is better? I dont know about pc hardware btw

Hello 👋🏻 I have a picture I want to share a screenshot from a game, is something unfortunate that happened to me yesterday, is a reality but it's also a meme, but, I'm unsure where I can send it, so, what channel you guys recommend me? (I think 2 screenshots, because, it would be cool add the PC specifications for have more background information)

[manic torrent]

#off-topic

or #gaming

[full fossil]

i need to see this now

[manic torrent]

what cpu/video card in the first one

[sudden dagger]

Thanks, HardwareBob!

[fierce night]

AMD AM4

[manic torrent]

That's a socket, not a CPU or a video card 🙂

[fierce night]

I guess it doesnt have one, doesnt say

[manic torrent]

So it's just a case, psu, motherboard and ram... can't do much on that without a CPU and a video card 🙂

the other one looks like a complete pc

[dull violet]

guys idk why but when i under clock my gpu im getting more fps then when i over clock it

[fierce night]

Lol

[manic torrent]

because modern video cards aren't the same as the old ones

[dull violet]

im using an old one

like im getting alot more fps

and my temps are great

[manic torrent]

"old" - how old

and how did you "under clock"

[dull violet]

well honestly not that old its gtx 1060 3gb and i used afterburner

[manic torrent]

and you just clicked randomly on the UI?

[dull violet]

no

i cranked it all the way down

[full fossil]

guys

6900xt on average a better buy than a 3080?

its for £665 on amazon right now

[manic torrent]

you cranked WHAT all the way down

[dull violet]

core clock and memory clock

[ripe parcel]

hey hardwarebob

[manic torrent]

hey

[ripe parcel]

you online alot

[dull violet]

o9 +

[manic torrent]

I mean yeah dude, it's 2022, I work from home, and there's a pandemic on, I have an immune compromised son, so I don't go anywhere. This means I have a lot of time in front of computers/laptops/phones/etc.

[ripe parcel]

that sounds good

im have just applied to dominoes for my first job. also what is the minimum age here

[wind pulsar]

What country?

[ripe parcel]

australia why

[manic torrent]

oh, you're super young 🙂 - yeah I am 41, so I am old enough to be your dad

[ripe parcel]

my dad is 48

[manic torrent]

man, he is SO OLD

[ripe parcel]

he acts like he is a hundred

[manic torrent]

I bet he groans and creaks when he gets out of bed

[wind pulsar]

Then the minimum working age for you is 15

[ripe parcel]

wrong

[manic torrent]

once you get to 40, you will understand 🙂

[wind pulsar]

I'm going to slap you if you say 14 years and 9 motnhs

[ripe parcel]

dominoes will hire 13 and everywhere else is either 14 or 15

[wind pulsar]

Oh, I meant legally in Australia

[manic torrent]

dominoes doesn't set the minimum age - that's a government thing 🙂

[wind pulsar]

There's no minimum working age in a family business, but legally, the minimum working age is 15 in Australia

[ripe parcel]

it is technically legal you just need a parent or guardian to sign the employment document

[wind pulsar]

No, that's not how that works, that'd still be very illegal xD

[ripe parcel]

i know but that have standards apparently

[ripe parcel]

some reason it is

[full fossil]

wtf is a 22110

[ripe parcel]

ive literally applied for my tax file number because the law is that i can now that im 13

[ripe parcel]

a 5 digit number

[full fossil]

ugh yeah.

[wind pulsar]

Oh, yeah, you can do that with a licence, yeah

Makes sense that Domino's would have a Children Employment permit xD

[full fossil]

But really why does a 22110 m.2 exist

[ripe parcel]

even at my age my because i can work 38 hours in a school holiday week i can make upward if 10k a year once i get my tax refund cause i dont pay tax since its below 18,200

[manic torrent]

because MOAR

[sonic barn]

just get government loans

[full fossil]

me is dumb, what is moar

[manic torrent]

biggerer. it's more betterer

[ripe parcel]

everywhere else is like 14 or 15 so if i dont get a call back im completely fucked for a year atleast

[full fossil]

I still don't understand lol

[spare shadow]

membrane or mechanical

membrane wins

[wind pulsar]

Subjective

[manic torrent]

.... what sort of peasant are you.

[spare shadow]

noise win, price win, speed win

[manic torrent]

The only question you need to ask is what kind of mechanical.

[full fossil]

How much would it cost to get a 1tb

[spare shadow]

durability is better with membranes

[ripe parcel]

excactly

[manic torrent]

nfi, you're telling the story here

[manic torrent]

absolutely incorrect

[full fossil]

what story, on how I am dumb?

[manic torrent]

the story of a girl. who cried a river and drowned the whole world

[full fossil]

ohhhh my bad :l

[wind pulsar]

That sounds an awful lot like me-

Except I make people cry a river most of the time

[full fossil]

[manic torrent]

... it's an older reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIANBamMgas

Only 22 years old.

[wind pulsar]

I once said the H510 Flow is a good case, my god were people angry

[wind pulsar]

Only as old as myself, phew

[manic torrent]

yeah because it's straight garbage and makes baby jesus cry

The H510 flow is a good case COMPARED TO THE BASE H510

[full fossil]

H510 = premium oven

[wind pulsar]

No, it's actually a very decent case if you feed it good fans- it's almost at the very top on GNs standardized fan test

[manic torrent]

no, it is an acceptable case

it's still awful for other reasons.

The H510 sucked at EVERYTHING

the H510 flow at least sucks much less at cooling

[wind pulsar]

One of the arguments why it was shit is because it doesn't have 360mm radiator support

[spare shadow]

lol im bouta upgrade my case to a milk crate

[full fossil]

I have one rn, it looks like shit tbh

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's not wrong 😉 - I have two 360 rads

[spare shadow]

i use a corsair 350d with no side panel

its over 10 years old

[wind pulsar]

Yes- that's still something most people would call 'cherrypicking'

[orchid swallow]

holy crap did u guys see gta 6 leaked

[wind pulsar]

Thats like months old by now

[orchid swallow]

yea its a month now

[ripe parcel]

you could get a cheap silicon power m.2 ssd for 90 aud on mwave or something

[manic torrent]

oh for sure, I mean, it's fine, I just wouldn't choose it if I had any real choice in the matter.

[full fossil]

I literally just bought one

[manic torrent]

thanks, Internet Explorer.

[wind pulsar]

No no, don't mention the missing effective 240mm top radiator support, but mention the missing 360mm radiator support everybody TOTALLY needs

[orchid swallow]

it actually doesn't look bad though

[ripe parcel]

a silicon power one?

[full fossil]

yes 1tb for 56$

[orchid swallow]

they added back the old euphoria ragdoll configuration from gta 4

i just hope there is RDR2 dismemberment as well

[ripe parcel]

tf. thats cheap. wait where are you from

[manic torrent]

the leaked stuff is from ages ago, and is not of any consequence

[full fossil]

amazon

[manic torrent]

usd

[full fossil]

https://a.co/d/8QANNkZ

[ripe parcel]

of that why

[full fossil]

lol

[ripe parcel]

its usd

im aud

[full fossil]

Oh I should had specified

[orchid swallow]

what is there shows that they have listened to some feedback about the gameplay in gta V

[manic torrent]

@ripe parcel assume USD unless you know otherwise

[manic torrent]

I mean, you'd hope so, it's been like 84 years

[ripe parcel]

true

[orchid swallow]

yea

I think gameplay wise gta 6 will be fantastic

[ripe parcel]

that ssd would be like 85 for me

[orchid swallow]

best parts of gta 4 and 5

and much improved ai it looks like

[full fossil]

Gta 4 animation is a lot better than Gta 5 in my opinion

[orchid swallow]

yes because of the physics engine

it looks like they brought that back

it was way more dynamic in gta 4

[full fossil]

good.

[orchid swallow]

real time physics for how npcs react to stuff and die etc

gta v had a bunch of stupid static animations

like the writhing on the ground thatd syncronise for dying npcs

it looked so dumb

I just need my god damn murder simulator

[full fossil]

:l

[manic torrent]

it's ... 9 years old.

[orchid swallow]

if they add back gang wars and stats like san andreas itd be all that I could ask for

[orchid swallow]

also yes but that wasnt a problem in gta 4

[brave flare]

real time ragdolls are goofy

[orchid swallow]

they scaled back a lot of gameplay stuff in 5

[brave flare]

I’m sorry bro, they just look so goofy

[orchid swallow]

what gta 4 ragdolls?

[brave flare]

in general

[orchid swallow]

gta 4 did it the best in any game ik

u would have to play it

[gilded quest]

has it really been 9 years since GTA V

[orchid swallow]

maybe its goofy but its really fun

to have npcs actually be reactive in a dynamic way

like grabbing onto moving cars or covering where theyre injured etc

its great

it used to be like a mini game in gta 4 to try and shoot their hands so theyd drop their weapon

little shit like that makes it fun

[ripe parcel]

does any one know the minimum age here

for the server

[manic torrent]

21

[orchid swallow]

five guys cheesedog

[ripe parcel]

why. 18 is an adult

[manic torrent]

I mean it isn't, but maybe it should be. Dang children on my lawn

[gilded quest]

40

[gilded quest]

blind them with RGB

[hybrid shell]

13 of course

[ripe parcel]

ok good

soo up until just over a week ago i shouldnt have been here

[manic torrent]

real talk - if it's not in #rules then it's not a rule.....

[ripe parcel]

lol

[manic torrent]

lets be honest, you probably aren't safe to be on the internet. You should be on the young persons internet

Once you turn 23 you can start to be on the grown up internet, and once you're 25 you have to leave the young persons internet

[ripe parcel]

true but i know enough not to do the wrong thing plus i bet thats a little of the dad in you coming out

[hybrid shell]

@manic torrent that pc in your pfp is yours, right?

[manic torrent]

correct

[ripe parcel]

specs?

[manic torrent]

oh it's not the dad, it's the asshole 😄

[hybrid shell]

it looks really nice

[ripe parcel]

hahaha

[manic torrent]

cheers, I spent a lot of time making it like that 🙂 I love me some RGB

[ripe parcel]

also do i have any other korn fans just wondering

[ripe parcel]

you did a nice job

[hybrid shell]

I don't have a pc, I am hoping to get one soon

[ripe parcel]

same

im looking at a water cooled 1080ti 11gb card

[manic torrent]

It's part of a whole integrated RGB thing

[hybrid shell]

damnnn

[gilded quest]

i wonder how cheap I can find a (second) 1080ti

I wanna try SLI for the heck of it

[ripe parcel]

250 for me

[ripe parcel]

lol. i remember a video where a guy said it performs like a beast and linus called him the fuck out

[ripe parcel]

i can play a few doom riffs on the guitar

[dreamy rose]

GTA IV did a lot right that is sorely missed in V.

[acoustic escarp]

yo

[fluid ridge]

you were 12 a week ago?

it says you joined the server on september 10th

which means you had to lie about your age to join this server and be on discord

that is a crime

[wind pulsar]

N-No

Stop saying things like 'Crime' if you don't know what meaning that word has

[night heron]

if you do then you should try gta v

it has 100% scaling with dual sli IIRC

[fluid ridge]

jail

[dreamy rose]

it is a crime to take Data from someone under 13 COPPA makes that so.

[fluid ridge]

COPPA should apply to everyone

[brisk tundra]

so just a question
are they listing the $1 pc they just build?
I am confused on how does one get it

[fluid ridge]

the computer is ass dont bother

[wind pulsar]

If you intentionally do so, yes 🤷‍♀️

[empty carbon]

the pain is finally over

I just ordered my new phone

[brisk tundra]

nice

[empty carbon]

having to go three days without a working phone is not fun

[orchid swallow]

exactly what I'm considering, and they're under $180 on ebay

[dreamy rose]

now imagine how i feel with a laptop thats barely functioned correctly for months

[empty carbon]

still stressful regardless

I need my phone for work

[orchid swallow]

SLI is pretty much trash in most applications these days right

[dreamy rose]

Obsolete

just like XP it gets no support anymore

[fluid ridge]

any stock traders here have a good windows app for viewing/trading

i am now going to dump every single penny i own on the stock market after an hour of reading and scrolling through wall street bets

[dreamy rose]

Good Luck. you'll need it

[fluid ridge]

i am not even kidding ive read probably at least 15 posts of people going from 3k to 130-230k

in the the span of a month and a half

how hard can it be right

[manic torrent]

stuff being a crime is not hugely meaningful

[manic torrent]

ahhh, selection bias.

[small bolt]

The "safer" option would be to put your money into the total stock market so your portfolio follows the economy. Not the best if you want to make a lot of money quickly but if you want your portfolio to gradually gain value over time and have less of a risk of making a bad investment it's a decent option.

[night heron]

it only really works in games 2013 or older (rough estimate)

[ripe parcel]

??

[fluid ridge]

??

[fluid ridge]

i think this is survivorship bias

they survived so can i 😎

[fluid ridge]

but if economy poop then stock poop

[small bolt]

Ye it's more of a retirement thing

[near nymph]

Btw any one with a popup screwdriver received their replacement yet?

I still haven’t gotten my replacement…

🥲

Well as far as I know…

My original one seems just fine doe!

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-gene-wilder-willy-wonka-you-get-nothing-nothing-gif-5432076

[near nymph]

But… they are talking about replacing cause of a defect... Sent a email before they announced it because mine came scratched up. 🤔

Anyways… mhmm… interesting how sellers on Amazon lie about MFi Certification. Soon type-C :3 won’t have that issue

[fluid ridge]

why are there no voice channels in this server

[full fossil]

who knows

[near nymph]

There is. For the floatplane users

[fluid ridge]

they really paywalled a discord channel

[manic torrent]

Because we cannot have nice things

[unique needle]

how good is a reference rx 6750 xt ? are the temps, the noise and the performance good compared to aib ?

[ocean narwhal]

awesome

[fast glade]

only u know

[ocean narwhal]

I dont care

[dreamy rose]

because you didn't pay for floatplane

[fluid ridge]

they could secure borders with the amount of walling they're doing

🗿

[manic torrent]

either that or you can't effectively moderate voice chat, and people are horrible idiots.

[fluid ridge]

well to be fair unless discord is actively recording voice conversations (which would be very expensive and a huge privacy concern), i dont think there is a worry of server termination/discord action against this server

and LTT would not be the first big server to have VC

[dreamy rose]

wasn't Sony in shit for doing that?

[fluid ridge]

sony is terrible with your data

a few weeks back they were sued for giving crunchyroll user data to facebook without user consent

would not surprise me if they worked for the CIA, NSA and the KGB at the same time

[unique needle]

so guys you recommend reference card 6750 xt ?

[fluid ridge]

~2 days until RDNA 3

no point buying an AMD gpu now

[frigid egret]

Who can help me with pc problem

[fluid ridge]

google can

[dreamy rose]

ah yes because all the Criminals and Terrorists use PSN to communicate their Mischievious and dastardly plans

[frigid egret]

Already tried

[fluid ridge]

you gotta use what they dont suspect my brotha

ive been trafficking pipe bombs via in game text chat in csgo for 3 years now

[fluid ridge]

in that case you can try #1027757333117415424

the most effective solution is however buying a new computer

[frigid egret]

Already have thread open

[unique needle]

i am just curious about what you think of this reference card

[fluid ridge]

have you tried getting a new computer

[frigid egret]

It is new

[fluid ridge]

no i mean going to get a new computer

surefire 110% way of fixing your PC problems

[manic torrent]

... actually in game chat is a reasonably common communication method for clandestine stuff.

[dreamy rose]

ok mr fancy words

[fluid ridge]

guys vocabulary bigger than my pre frontal cortex

i wish i knew what any of that meant

[dreamy rose]

[manic torrent]

The brain is just meat with electricity in it

[dreamy rose]

fat actually

well Majority of it

[fluid ridge]

man i gotta charge my brain

einstein and newton probably had portable power banks explaining their superior intellect

[manic torrent]

while the brain absolutely needs it to work, and the majority of matter in the head are fats, strictly, the brain isn't made of fat.

[dreamy rose]

i'll wire into you and make you smack yourself silly

[fluid ridge]

🧠

[round flare]

Hai

[dreamy rose]

hi

[south stone]

Any leak on the announcement?

[dreamy rose]

what? the announcement is tomorrow. there's no leaks about it

[night heron]

i like my electric meat sack

[manic torrent]

mine is not great, but it appears you only get one, so I am working with what I have 🙂

your controls are a bit fuzzy eh?

[manic torrent]

Ah, just general human body stuff, crappy brain chemistry, yadda yadda

Got my tattoo done today

[dreamy rose]

painful body paintings are so cool

[azure falcon]

Wasn't that bad actually have a very high pain tolerance

[spare lintel]

how many hours left till rnda3 announcemnt

[forest valve]

I think it's rdna

[long kraken]

[dreamy rose]

less than 24

[manic torrent]

I can't tell you

[long kraken]

Ayo what’s like a decent cpu for cad

I’d be looking to go intel

[manic torrent]

You'll want a Xeon, at least 16 cores.

[long kraken]

Ight any particular clock speed or just cores over speed

[manic torrent]

honestly.... it's a ridiculous question

[long kraken]

My old 8700k is kicking the can

[manic torrent]

"cpu for cad" - what cad. what conditions, what everything, what software, what price range

honestly, an 8700k - buy anything modern midrange or above, it will be way faster

[long kraken]

Alr yea I could’ve been more specific. Lots of rendering (cpu based) and large assemblies. Budget maybe around 300-500 ish

[manic torrent]

13700k

the more cooling the better

[long kraken]

Okay I have a custom loop setup you think just throw an ek on the cpu? There’s also a 2080s in the loop one 240 rad and one 360 rad

[manic torrent]

yeah that will be fine - If you're running both at full noise you might want more, but it will still work fine

[long kraken]

Okay thank you very much

Now to actually save money instead of blowing it instantly

[fickle wren]

I second that recommendation

[fresh flower]

Did someone say instantly blow money

[full fossil]

[brisk tundra]

what's that?

hmmm, that name is familiar
oh hey, didn't realize you here too!

[fresh flower]

sorry I got distracted lol

anyway i'm gonna get a 12600k

because I have no self control

[brisk tundra]

what budget?

[fresh flower]

oh the PC is built lol

this would be an upgrade

right now i have a 12400f

[hybrid shell]

so you want the 12600k for the extra cores?

[fresh flower]

and to overclock

[hybrid shell]

ah

[fresh flower]

possibly

[full fossil]

well sell the 12400f and get the 12600k

[fickle wren]

Ocing ram i hope

[orchid swallow]

ddwassdw

[fickle wren]

Ong

[fresh flower]

the 400f is a good lil cpu but it could use a lil oomf\

oh wait i'm on a b660 i can't unlock k chips anyway 💀

fuck

[fickle wren]

Y not spend a lil more for the 13600k

[fresh flower]

because idk if i'm ready to sink 600 canadian dollars on a cpu

400 sure

besides, i'm still stuck on a b series board

[fickle wren]

So

[orchid swallow]

its only $300

[fickle wren]

He's canadian

[orchid swallow]

what?

[fickle wren]

It's $420cad

[orchid swallow]

oh

[fickle wren]

When u find out other countries have different currency

[fresh flower]

upgrading mobo is such a pain in the dick and sticking in the same socket class just seems silly

[orchid swallow]

no i just forgot about canada

[fresh flower]

ddr5 would be nice tho

[fickle wren]

You know, 12400f to raptorlake K is a much more sensible upgrade than like 12700k to 13700k

[fresh flower]

it is

but i'll have to wait for the rest of the lineup to come out

13600f might be my winner

[fickle wren]

You are still going from like, i5-12400f to i7-12700k+ (bc 13600k a little more refined and performs better)

I'd just 13600k that b660 and have the ability to undervolt and have ram oc/better xmp

[fresh flower]

https://www.amazon.ca/Intel-i5-13600KF-Desktop-Processor-P-cores/dp/B0BCF5CZ16/ref=sr_1_2?crid=34MOX0K7LYQJP&keywords=13600k&qid=1667450479&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjYyIiwicXNhIjoiMC45NyIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=13600k%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-2 actually the KF is a reasonable price

well relatively speaking

[fickle wren]

Yes, its quite literally double the multithreaded performance of your 12400f

[fresh flower]

has more than twice the cores

[fickle wren]

And doesn't draw 253w like 13700k and 13900k lol

[fresh flower]

and 8 more e-cores

[orchid swallow]

my 13600k is 1 day away

[fickle wren]

Yeah, and binned cores for higher clocks

[orchid swallow]

🥺

[fresh flower]

i'll have to wait a week to get mine

pay is on the 10th

[fickle wren]

Also has more cache

[fresh flower]

and by then i'll know how much I gotta save for 7000 series

[fickle wren]

Burnmoney series

[fresh flower]

it'll be cheaper than 4090

[fickle wren]

Unless ur talking about rdna 3

[fresh flower]

yeah

[fickle wren]

Ah

[orchid swallow]

it's meant to compete with it?

[fresh flower]

yeah

[fickle wren]

We'll see

[orchid swallow]

atm I'm upgrading from all 2016 stuff

[fresh flower]

the 7900xtx is at least

[orchid swallow]

mobo and processor first, holding off on gpu

[fickle wren]

We don't know anything, but it's announced 2mr

[orchid swallow]

hope its like $500 😭

tfw budget option is $1000

[fresh flower]

4pm

I'll be working when they announce it

Fug

[orchid swallow]

tomorrow?

[fresh flower]

Yeah

15 hours

[orchid swallow]

i dont understand the amd naming convention at all lol

[fresh flower]

Howso?

[orchid swallow]

rdna radeon rx xtx??

what is all this

[fickle wren]

ada lovelace geforce GTX RTX super ti

[orchid swallow]

true

wtf is ada lovelace a codename for even

[fickle wren]

4000 series

[orchid swallow]

oh

[fresh flower]

Rx = gtx/rtx
Xx00= gen and model tier
Xt = ti
Xtx is an old naming convention they brought back just means better than xt

This is a gross generalization but that should give you an idea

[ocean narwhal]

All my homies with R9 gpu and cpu 👺

[orchid swallow]

alright thanks

radeon is just the generic term for amd gpus?

but what is rdna

[fresh flower]

Radeon is the equivalent of geforce

[ocean narwhal]

rdna is gpu architecture

[fathom pebble]

the microarchitecture

[fresh flower]

Just the name

[fathom pebble]

rdna, rdna2, rdna 3

[ocean narwhal]

gcn 🙂

[orchid swallow]

gotcha

[fathom pebble]

server side is cdna, cdna 2, etc

[orchid swallow]

what is this equivalent to with nvidia?

[fresh flower]

Ada Lovelace

[fathom pebble]

ampere, turing, lovelacee

[ocean narwhal]

uhhhh i ampere, ada, etc

[orchid swallow]

ah

[fathom pebble]

though nvidia doesnt partition is uarchs well. like there is gaming ampere and server ampere

[fresh flower]

My brother is still on r7

[ocean narwhal]

🫠

[fresh flower]

He's a stronger man than I am

[wise tundra]

DRAM: N/A, but 64 MB Host-Memory-Buffer
So it basically has a 64MB DRAM?

[forest valve]

I'm using Ryzen 2700x and rtx 2070

Mostly because I'm broke and can't afford a new PC

[tender glade]

who knows about destiny

[forest valve]

My destiny is I have no destiny

[tender glade]

the game

[forest valve]

I know I'm messing around

I played it once I think, never again

Just wasn't into it

[orchid swallow]

yea i know about it

played it in i think 2016

beat it in a couple days

never touched again

[fresh flower]

I got into destiny 2 for like a week then dropped it because uhhh my friends moved on to ff14

[tender glade]

im mainly a 14 pklayer but i have a content drought

uhhh i just got a static together like today sooo i cant raid till next week

do u have to buy

all the dlc in destiny

or only the newest one

is it like 14

[fresh flower]

It's all the dlc

[orchid swallow]

ff14

why are modern rpgs so few and far between

mmorpgs i mean

[fresh flower]

They're actually Dime a dozen

All the small ones never last though

Server maintenance is expensive

[orchid swallow]

dime a dozen?

[fresh flower]

No profit = no maintenance

[orchid swallow]

I'm talking major releases though

[fresh flower]

No maintenance = dead game

[tender glade]

Ff14 is amazing

[orchid swallow]

I guess it's too risky a business model then?

[tender glade]

Don't knock it till you try it man I was like you at some point

[orchid swallow]

I was born in 2002 and no mmorpg has even seemed new or innovative enough for me to care about
