[sonic barn]

intel is overpriced

last gen hardware with more power

[wind pulsar]

Where's the source

[sonic barn]

here

[wind pulsar]

Changing the topic isn't a source

[sonic barn]

_ _

[wind pulsar]

That isn't a source, that's one of your bullshit statements again

[sonic barn]

then show me your source

[wind pulsar]

Why do I have to give you a source on something you are trying to prove?

AMD is better value, no questions asked

6900 XT pricing

[wind pulsar]

The pricing of cards it competes with

[night heron]

my 6900xt gaming z trio was $600 in september

6900xt was great value for a while

[full fossil]

I just dropped off my pc at a repair place

There’s a free diagnosis/estimate whatever

[echo ridge]

Is that a screen shot in public without floatplane

[sonic barn]

ty for the prices

[swift idol]

"We diagnosed the problem, it needs an oil change and a new clutch"

[full fossil]

Nah, I’m thinking the guy might not be able to figure it out either

[swift idol]

Fingers crossed for you

[sonic barn]

"40$ to open it up + 100$ fee to do maintenance + $ for parts"

[night heron]

if i had inexplainable pc issues i would reinstall windows

its faster to just do that than troubleshoot

unless ur having hardware failure

[full fossil]

Can’t, cuz it doesn’t post

[young bloom]

shes booster

[echo ridge]

Oh I see it now

[full fossil]

I’m gonna see what the guy says it needs, and put the parts in myself

I’m not paying for labor costs

Only reason I took it was because free estimate

[young bloom]

should i invest in kvm hardware

[night heron]

get ur pc fixed so we can get victory royales biggie

[young bloom]

as in buy one

[full fossil]

I’ve been grinding mastery camos in mw2 on my dads laptop

[swift idol]

Just play it off that you don't want it doing when they tell you what's wrong with it.

[echo ridge]

Nah play cs

[full fossil]

Watch it post perfectly fine for the repair dude

[full fossil]

I prefer 3

[sonic barn]

be like me and play csgo on a rtx 2070 super

at low settings

[swift idol]

Need those 1% lows eh ?

[sonic barn]

I don't really care about graphics

as long as I can't count the pixels

[swift idol]

Not even 1% of them ?

[wind pulsar]

Yes, it is

[sonic barn]

less than 1% of them

[wind pulsar]

Because Nitro Booster can do it as well

[amber patio]

I wonder if there is a version of linux that transfers all your windows programs over or at least most of them?

[swift idol]

Not possible

[amber patio]

Transfering such into stuff like proton or wine.

[swift idol]

Oh ok, well if you install linux on a different partition or drive then you can use Wine / Proton on the windows installation folder to run some of them

Most won't work though

[fossil frost]

not gonna happen, a lot of config is stored in the windows registry, and that would have to be ported over with the app too, and that would need implementing on a per app basis.. literally "if its this app, these are the known keys, if its this other app, then its those other keys..." for all apps...

stuff that doesnt touch the registry will "just work" (probably) but most stuff does use it, because its convenient

[zinc brook]

this is why i may scrap waiting for rdna3 and just buy a rx 6900 xt

[indigo plume]

Arctis 7 or Logitech pro x

[sonic spruce]

Is a 960 2 gb a good gpu compared to a 1050 2gb?

[zinc brook]

im dumb when it comes to anything not pcs

[fossil frost]

depends what you are trying to do

[indigo plume]

I thought about like senhieser but they expensive af

[sonic spruce]

Overwatch 2, cod mw2 and warfare, emulators, other games, photoshop, Adobe movie editor, C4D, chrome and some other stuff

[swift idol]

Go for something better

[sonic barn]

1050 is better

[sonic spruce]

Trying to afford it

[fossil frost]

better looking for something that is 4gb at least for almost all of those

[sonic barn]

I think its like 30%

[indigo plume]

If u don't care about Ray tracing is nividia still better

[swift idol]

Understandable but both of those cards will give you a really bad time

[wind pulsar]

No it's not. xD

Which of these 2 are better?

[sonic spruce]

Fr

[gilded quest]

Lmao

[full fossil]

Your normal usb3 cable has 4 wires right

[gilded quest]

My router has a GTX 960 4GB

[sonic spruce]

2 gb

[gilded quest]

Oh god no

[sonic barn]

there's 4gb 1050s, 4gb 960s

[wind pulsar]

A 1050 Ti is better than the 2GB 960, by about 8%

[fossil frost]

you would be better off waiting a little longer and going for card with at least 4gb of vram.. you are going to have a bad time with either of those cards

[sonic spruce]

The one I’m getting is 2 gb if I can’t get a 4 gb

[indigo plume]

Anyone know stuff about headphones

[gilded quest]

USB 2 is 4, 3 is 9

[full fossil]

Power(+,-) data(+,-) that's 4

[swift idol]

We're trying to save you money , both of those cards are shit and won't play the games you want resonably

[fossil frost]

there are more than that

[wind pulsar]

Irrelevant, that doesn't change that the 960 2GB is better than a normal 1050, lol

You are, as always, pulling irrelevant shit out of somewhere

[indigo plume]

What are good cards for 1400p 144hz monitor

[sonic barn]

no

[indigo plume]

Getting new pc sometime I'm new year

[sonic barn]

my info is the worst

[wind pulsar]

Yes

[swift idol]

4090, 6950 XT, 6900 XT

[sonic barn]

its always relevant

[gilded quest]

That's USB 2

[full fossil]

Oh that's what I want lol

[indigo plume]

4090 is overkill for 1440p pretty sure

[wind pulsar]

I don't know if you're 13 or just delusional

[fossil frost]

V+ V- D+ D- SSRX+ SSRX- SSTX+ SSTX- DRAIN, and there are potentially DPWR and DGND too, depending on the cable

[swift idol]

he asked best

[sonic barn]

I do this everytime I am in the chat

[wind pulsar]

Certainly narcissistic, that's for sure

[indigo plume]

I asked for good cards not best

[sonic barn]

its funny because everyone takes me seriously

[swift idol]

6900xt, 6800xt

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, because nobody wants to joke around with somebody annoying 🤷‍♀️

[indigo plume]

Are those the 30 series equivalent

[sonic barn]

yes

[swift idol]

3080

[indigo plume]

Never gone with amd before

[sonic barn]

amd sucks

[indigo plume]

How do they suck

[sonic barn]

like a vacuum

[swift idol]

He's an attention seeker and been doing this all day, best to ignore it.

[indigo plume]

I have a cpu from them its great

[swift idol]

No matter what you say he will say the opposite

[sonic barn]

only since 2:15

[swift idol]

Can you just fuck off

[indigo plume]

Have r5 3600

[sonic barn]

rude

[indigo plume]

I hard amd drivers used to be not as good have they been fix in recent years

[wind pulsar]

The 6600 is better than a 3050, the 6600 XT and 6650 XT are better than the 3060, the 6700 & 6700 XT are better than the 3060 Ti, the 6800 is better than the 3070 & 3070 Ti, the 6800 XT is the equivalent to a 3080, the 6900 XT is between a 3080 Ti and a 3090, the 6950 XT is between a 3090 and 3090 Ti

[indigo plume]

For gpus

[sonic spruce]

My budget is 75 usd for a gpu that has a wattage of 125 or less

[gilded quest]

AMD is basically the gamer company lol

[sonic barn]

gtx 1060 > amd cards

[wind pulsar]

Definitely, they're currently just as horrible as Nvidias

But no, they're fine

[indigo plume]

Well thats good news

[swift idol]

Ouch, why not save more money for a better set up. You are going to spend $75 on a card that won't last you long and will be really bad, borderline unable to play anything

[fossil frost]

you can choose to throw away that $75 on something that wont work for what you want, or... you can wait until your budget is better...

[indigo plume]

I was thinking going amd cuz of how anti consumer nivida has been recently

[sonic barn]

well its not anti consumer as the cards are repairable

intel has its cards not repairable

founders cards have no screws

plastic and glue

[sonic spruce]

Cuz I also need to get a fan for it

[gilded quest]

How much do you value ray tracing

[wind pulsar]

You can safely ignore the other guy named Iheuzio or whatever , he's hard shilling for Nvidia

[sonic barn]

gamer nexus did a vid on it

[sonic spruce]

And I already spent 15 usd on ram

[gilded quest]

If ray tracing isn't a huge concern, just go AMD

[indigo plume]

Don't care about it

[sonic barn]

if something breaks you gotta replace the entire card

[sonic spruce]

So 75 usd is all I got

[indigo plume]

I never use ray tracing

[wind pulsar]

Then AMD

[gilded quest]

Radeon is the way

[lilac sage]

do you do anything productive on ur GPU or just gaming?

[sonic spruce]

Photoshop and C4D and other stuff

[swift idol]

Save. Your. Money. Take the 75, put it in a jar and wait until you can get something better. You won't be able to game on those cards you want.

[lilac sage]

do you stream professionally?

[fossil frost]

then just set that $75 on fire, because thats about as useful as both of those cards

[sonic spruce]

Yes

[gilded quest]

Do you make money (i.e., work) with you PC?

[sonic spruce]

You saying I can’t get a 1660 or 1650 or something for 75 usd?

[wind pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PGTqXy This is.. surprising

[indigo plume]

No I dont

[wind pulsar]

You'd have to be very lucky to do so

[fossil frost]

you never mentioned either of those cards until just now... you said a 980 or a 1050

[sonic spruce]

If I don’t get a fan then I can go up to 80 to 85 usd

[wispy marsh]

Which wifi aircon model do you guys recommend (for an 700sqf apartment)?

[wind pulsar]

Used 1660s go for bottom barrel minimum $120, $110 for a 1650

[fossil frost]

to me, it looks like you have already made your mind up that you want to waste your money on something that is worthless and wont do what you want... and are only asking us to validate your decision, which nobody is going to do... so, rather than continuing to ask us... just do whatever you want, but dont come complaining when you find out we were right

[gilded quest]

Then AMD cards are the way to go for sure

[indigo plume]

Ok thanks

[gilded quest]

Little reason to pay extra for Nvidia if you don't need CUDA or Ray Tracing performance

[sonic barn]

2060 are a better price

[wind pulsar]

These go for minimum $200, stfu

[sonic barn]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325411794707

172$ ending tomorrow mid day

[wind pulsar]

Still a bid

And the guy who got it is lucky if he gets it for that money

[swift idol]

Wait for it... goal post...

[fossil frost]

and most of the bids will come in the last few minutes

and will likely go for closer to $250

[sonic barn]

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=nvidia+rtx+2060&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15

200$ for 5 listings rn

[lilac sage]

200 and 100 arent really comparable

[sonic barn]

I'll save u 100$ with a windows key

[lilac sage]

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=RTX+2060&_sacat=0&Memory%2520Size=6%2520GB&_dcat=27386&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&LH_ItemCondition=3000|1500&_sop=13 according to the filter

152 is the cheapest one sold recently

all the rest are at least 170

[sonic barn]

only 60$ more for rtx and dlss

[lilac sage]

or very very close. within a couple dollars

[wind pulsar]

[sonic barn]

that's 28usd here

[wind pulsar]

The $150 card is a good deal, still comes with $30 shipping

Point being is, regardless of $170 or $200, it's not a 'better price' as you mindlessly stated (again)

Doesn't solve the issue

[wind pulsar]

The 'best' GPU you can effortlessly get at $80 is ca. a GTX 960 4GB

[sonic barn]

you're saying a gt 710 is worse?

[lilac sage]

yes it is

[wind pulsar]

Can you stop with your bullshit trolling

[lilac sage]

960>710

[sonic barn]

bruh

[sonic barn]

then why is it bundled with 1000$ builds

[lilac sage]

because idiots who love nvidia will buy them

[wind pulsar]

Because companies don't care how they get rid of their stock

[lilac sage]

oh ye also ppl who worship rgb

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585> guy is going out of his way to be purposefully obtuse and is pretty much just being a troll for the sake of being a troll over the course of the full day

[wind pulsar]

^It's insanely annoying

[sonic barn]

full day isn't 2 hours

but sure

[lilac sage]

make a forum post

[sonic barn]

I never used the forum

[fossil frost]

bought a pack of 10 sg90 servos from amazon... 6 of the 10 are DOA....

[night heron]

[dull granite]

rtx 2060 super for 200$ is a good deal

especially now because 2019 msrp was higher than todays 400$

[sonic spruce]

If I got a gpu without returns from eBay, would I be able to get my money back if it doesn’t work?

[young bloom]

can anyone reccomend a good free antivirus program

[sonic barn]

yeah just record when you open it

if you got proof seller can't scam

but ebay sides with the buyer

[manic torrent]

Windows Defender

[sonic spruce]

How long can the video be before they can’t handle it?

[sonic barn]

you just need proof

[sonic spruce]

You said I need to show me opening it and testing it?

In same video

[sonic barn]

testing it you don't need proof for

only packaging

[sonic spruce]

Oh

[sonic barn]

the testing you can message support and ebay will talk to the seller

[sonic spruce]

Do I need proof that he sent a card that don’t work?

[sonic barn]

you message support first

support messages the seller and they have to accept it back unless it said no returns

[sonic spruce]

Does eBay have a support number?

[sonic barn]

you have 30 days to return normally

[young bloom]

i am on windows 7

[sonic barn]

not since pandemic

[sonic spruce]

What if the seller doesn’t accept returns?

[sonic spruce]

That’s dumb af

[sonic barn]

you're screwed

[sonic barn]

its only text chat

[sonic spruce]

So I would be screwed with buying this?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325415288768?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wkD_ijDxRaq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-ie92xqqthi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[young bloom]

just tell your credit card company and they'll dispute it with ebay for you

[sonic barn]

thats a bid

8 days left

[sonic spruce]

Same difference

Assume it was buying it or some shit

And I got it but it don’t work

[sonic barn]

it'll shoot up in the final hours if anything

[sonic spruce]

Would I be screwed over or can I return it?

[alpine gale]

As long as the eBay listing has "eBay Buyer Protection" the buyer is protected, even if the seller doesn't offer returns. It can still be a lengthy process though, depending on who's working your support case.

Sellers are required to deliver the item as it was described in the listing. If the buyer receives the wrong item, or the item arrives broken, damaged, or faulty (and was not clearly described as such), they are entitled to return it for a refund, even if the seller doesn't offer returns.
https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/ebay-money-back-guarantee-policy/ebay-money-back-guarantee-policy?id=4210#not-described

[sonic barn]

well yeah but if its sold "as-is" saying its for parts you can't return it

as long as its the right item

[alpine gale]

Oh yeah for sure - absolutely. Gotta watch those listing descriptions to ensure you're not buying an "empty box" too. 😄

[sonic spruce]

I plan on getting used instead of parts only

[sonic barn]

I had a stupid person try it when I sold a broken adapter

[young bloom]

*and listings that are labeled as for parts only

[sonic barn]

or if its a piece of paper in one of the images

rip buyers of the rtx card freshly printed images during the shortage

[full fossil]

hi

[sonic spruce]

So would this be good?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/225180227581?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WRC2QR7QTp2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-ie92xqqthi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Wait Nvrmind that’s a mining card

[sonic barn]

I think linus did a video on that for gaming, you sure you want that

yeah no display port

[sonic spruce]

This one?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/403983545556?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RXcKeo8NSnG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-ie92xqqthi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[sonic barn]

says 1gb of vram in the description but the seller has a ton of sales, you can message them first or buy first and wait for a response

just to confirm the specs of it

[sonic spruce]

I’m asking him rn

Also checking Linus video on a mining gpu?

…

What if I just buy one from aliexpress?

@sonic barn ^

What?

[alpine gale]

I think you're referring to "Hook and Loop" fastener, more commonly known as Velcro®
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

[sonic spruce]

Is the rx 470 a good card that supports dx12?

[slate wing]

It only supports baseline dx12 12_0

[sonic spruce]

What about 1050 Ti?

[slate wing]

12_1

[sonic spruce]

Is there a difference between them?

12_0 and 12_1?

[slate wing]

The features they support.

[sonic spruce]

Gotcha

[slate wing]

Suggest looking at the requirements for the games you play

[sonic spruce]

New cod says dx12

[slate wing]

The rx 470 also only supports vulkam 1.2 while the gtx supports 1.3

[sonic spruce]

I see

So nvidia cards better?

….
What dx12 does 960 support?

[slate wing]

Not necessarily, like I said check the games you will be playing.

[sonic spruce]

Overwatch 2 and cod warfare?

[slate wing]

A 960 is 12_1 and 1.3

[sonic spruce]

…. Fr????

But it’s 2 gbs and rx 470 is 4gbs?

[slate wing]

The direct x and Vulkan support levels is based off of hardware/driver support for specific features. It does not represent a card raw compute power

[sonic spruce]

I see

[slate wing]

A 1050 does not have hardware RT but can emulate it in software

[sonic spruce]

Gotcha

[slate wing]

OW uses dx11 based off a form post and I believe cod uses baseline dx12

[bitter pewter]

me with dx9ex

[sonic spruce]

I think a 1050 would be enough gonna check out 470 tho

[wind pulsar]

An RX 470 usually costs half of the 1050 and beats it

And yes, even the 4GB one

[sonic spruce]

Yo fr?

[sonic spruce]

So like this?

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-vs-AMD-RX-470/3650vs3640

[wind pulsar]

Yes, it's actually closer to the RX 6400

[sonic spruce]

Rx 470 it is

[wind pulsar]

Don't use UBM btw, couldn't be more inaccurate in 99% of instances

[echo ridge]

470 is closer to a 1060 then a 1050

[harsh badge]

If a CPU cooler fan says it's not compatible with the motherboard, is it just the physical clearance?

[wind pulsar]

I mean yeah, but how is that relevant

Difference from 1050 to 470 is 60%, from 1060 to 470 is 20%, oh wow, how relevant

[harsh badge]

Or would incompatible CPU fan actually prevent the machine from booting?

[wind pulsar]

What, on pcpp?

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[wind pulsar]

If PCPP says that then it just means that the mounting mechanism doesn't work on certain platforms, (AMD & Intel), since the mountaing mechanism is different

[sonic spruce]

Is tech power up accurate?

[full fossil]

is 3080 overkill for 1080p?

[wind pulsar]

Enough to have a rough estimate, otherwise tomshardware works as well

[harsh badge]

On Noctua site, it says Nh-d15 is not compatible with Asus Prime b550m-a WiFi II.
It includes the note "The cooler overhangs the top PCIe x16 slot.
AM4 mounting-kit included since 01/2019
For coolers bought before this date:

NM-AM5/4-MP83 mounting-kit required (free of charge)"

[wind pulsar]

Yes, that is an entry level 4k card

[full fossil]

ah

[harsh badge]

I managed to fit the clearance, but I'm wondering if the fan incompatibility would actually be significant enough to prevent a boot.

[full fossil]

like 1080p maxed out

[wind pulsar]

Still, doesn't matter

It obviously doesn't prevent you from using it in 1080p of course

[sonic spruce]

Ok second question

[wind pulsar]

But you still want it running at minimum 1440p

[sonic spruce]

Is it a good idea to change my 3570s to a 3770?

[echo ridge]

Its pretty close to the 3gb 1060

[full fossil]

ah

is 3070 ti overkill?

[wind pulsar]

Why do I feel like that's an extremely cherrypicked singleframe

[analog night]

yo i have a question

[wind pulsar]

Yes

[full fossil]

ive yet to experience 144hz lol

[analog night]

is 339.99 a good price for a ryzen 9 5900x

[wind pulsar]

What currency?

[analog night]

usd

[wind pulsar]

Ah wait, 3GB?

[full fossil]

my aoc 25g2u comes tomorrow, im so gassed

[analog night]

microcenter has it on sale

[echo ridge]

yes

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, then that makes sense

[echo ridge]

the "1060"

[wind pulsar]

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-9-5900x/p/N82E16819113664 Here you have it for $50 less

[wind pulsar]

There's three different iterations of the 1060, dongus

[analog night]

thats 348

its not cheaper

[echo ridge]

i was talking about the 3gb and you were probably talking about the 5gb or the 6gb

[wind pulsar]

I can't read, I thought it was 399. xD
Then yeah, it's a good price

[wind pulsar]

You said 1060, so yeah, obviously

[analog night]

yeah lol

[wind pulsar]

The 3GB doesn't exist, after all

[analog night]

but i need to fix my mobo situation my cpu is being very fucking weird

[wind pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/it-doesnt-actually-exist-derek-muller-veritasium-its-not-real-theres-no-such-thing-gif-19714320

[analog night]

on fortnite and other games my cpu is reaching 70% load while the gpu is only hovering around 50

[echo ridge]

it's like the 4080 12gb

[lilac sage]

1060 3Gb and 6GB were released at a time when Nvidia didnt release the Ti versions before the original card

[analog night]

it shouldnt be doing that, other benchmarks with my exact same spec - the motherboard have been seeing the gpu get up to 100 and the cpu hover around 30

[wind pulsar]

Difference being that the 3GB 1060 unfortunately exists, the 4080 12GB doesn't- at least not anymore

[wind pulsar]

It's fairly irrelevant anyway, seeing how you describe the situation, you'll have to swap it anyway

[echo ridge]

i almost bought a 1060 3gb

[lilac sage]

imagine living in an alternate universe where the 4080 12GB gets released and gets pummeled into the ground by 7900XT

[wind pulsar]

I mean if you can get one for the price of a 1050, that's fine

[echo ridge]

instead of found a 1060 6gb

[analog night]

im not swaping the cpu rn

i have a ryzen 7 5800x

it should be okay for games

but it shouldnt be reaching that high on utilization

[wind pulsar]

I mean the mobo, not the CPU

[analog night]

ah

its the msi x570 a pro, msi had a bad time with them

many people said the vrms get extremely hot

[wind pulsar]

But with a 5800X you don't want to upgrade anyway, no need to go with a 5900X

[analog night]

so no need to go from ryzen 7 5800 to ryzen 9 5900x

is there a big jump?

[echo ridge]

honestly the only upgrade that sorta makes sense is

the x3d

and honestly i don't think it's worth

[analog night]

can i ask yall a question

even tho its rare, is it possible changing out the mobo can fix my performance issues with the utilization getting to high

ive already done all the other troubleshooting steps

Is 3D Nand the same as DRam?

I’ll just use dram-less

[slim yacht]

its a form of dram

[sonic spruce]

Ok?

If it’s better to get one with a 3D Nand then I’ll get one with a 3D Nand

[worn lynx]

DRAM is inherently volatile, NAND is not...

[slim yacht]

you're asking whether its the same
in terms of what it functions as, yes

[analog night]

could i ask someone a question

[graceful burrow]

ask in chat yeah

[manic torrent]

I don't know, can you?

[analog night]

is it normal for my pc to be running at 70% utilization for the cpu and like 30 for the gpu( @manic torrent )

[manic torrent]

given you have provided zero information on what the PC is, what it's running, why you think it's using that many resources, or anything else, I'm going to say: yeah, seems fine.

[analog night]

ryzen 7 5800x, rtx 3070 32gb ram, only the game and discord is running

epic settings

[manic torrent]

the game? The game that you just lost?

[analog night]

its many games but the one im currently playing is fortnite (ik the game is unoptimized lol) but i see it in tomb raider and other AAA titles

[manic torrent]

ahhhhh ok, now I think I see what you mean - you are worried that the GPU is underutilised and there's a problem with the config.

[analog night]

yeah

or the Mobo even tho ik its rare

[manic torrent]

which is not at all what you said - you didn't give context.

[analog night]

but i have the msi x570 a pro and ive heard its a shit motherboard

[manic torrent]

haha I have an MSI X570 carbon something wifi as well, 3700x, 3070, so very similar

[analog night]

the other x570 boards are fine, ive heard it was a hit or miss

[manic torrent]

What you are most likely seeing is simply a misreporting of GPU usage

[analog night]

the a pro version was hit or miss

[analog night]

i see it in hwinfo aswell

[manic torrent]

is the performance lower than expected?

[analog night]

it stutters randomly

lets say its at 240

then it randomly drops to 50 goes back up is fine for about a minute then right back down

[manic torrent]

like my system will run FH5 at ultra 4k 60fps locked

[analog night]

im running at 1080

[manic torrent]

well that's why it's 30%

[analog night]

why

even on 1080 the benchmarks are showing 90%

[manic torrent]

because 1080 is ezpz

[analog night]

this is 1080

look in tech chat so i can post the photo #tech-chat-1

[manic torrent]

benchmarks are designed to stress the GPU

[analog night]

its literally just playing the game

[manic torrent]

I am not sure what's going on there

[analog night]

many benchmarks with games show the gpu doing all the work

and the cpu relaxing, at around 20-30

[dense violet]

thats only bc they are cracking the cables and pushing the same power with less wires simply put

I have all my servers neatly organized and am only in 29 💀

I even have gradient archive folders getting darker depending on how dead the servers are

[sonic spruce]

What does the s stand for in i7-3770s?

Ok Nvrmind I’m good

[lethal pivot]

S iirc was for lower power draw

No wait that was T

[frosty grotto]

mine would be in the black folder 💀

[lethal copper]

I have almost black, gray and light gray folders

[frosty grotto]

bro i just have a v o i d

a folder with 100+ servers

[sonic spruce]

It’s S and T

[lethal copper]

Almost black is for dead servers I don't leave in case somebody messages, gray for semi dead servers I am no longer active in (actually its just 2 servers my ex-classmates from old school use) and light gray for servers I rarely need

[sonic spruce]

Would it be better to get 3770S or 3770K?

[lethal copper]

💀

[sonic spruce]

Is the s cpu overclock able?

[manic torrent]

if you don't have nitro you are limited to 5000 messages/month and 5 hours of voice chat

[wispy marsh]

Yes

As a nitro user, i can vouch

[still ledge]

wtf only 5 hrs of voice?

[wispy marsh]

For 2.99 a month, I have unlimited voice

[slate wing]

For 10 usd a month I can have fancy colors on my profile… yay. Fr tho discords 500mb upload limit with near no limit on uploads is a steal. I can post entire anime seasons in just 500mb anyways

[wispy marsh]

Absolutely

[cerulean saffron]

since when? o_o cos I've been in voicecalls both in DMs and on servers for well over 6 hours every day for weeks when gaming all the time

[slate wing]

It was a joke.

[cerulean saffron]

thought so but wasnt sure

[slate wing]

50mb per ep is very small but with av1 it’s very watchable. 40 is fine if it’s something like a slice of life

[wispy marsh]

Mp4 animes are like 2gb's each

[slate wing]

MP4 isn’t a format it’s a container

Also that’s usually because dumbasses use flac and detail overkill x264

[junior mason]

say that again to crunchy roll, one ep with data drained nearly 700MB, and it was 720p too

[wispy marsh]

I see

[slate wing]

Because they use 2mbit/s h.264

You should never EVER use target bitrate but they do

You can see in the background of some videos whatever ltt uses to export actually uses target bitrate (around 40mbit/s) which is fucking cringe

It’s also not x264 as well

[junior mason]

target bitrate meaning its constant throughout? isnt the whole point meant to keep it variable else we're just storing useless info for parts that are majority the same colour

[slate wing]

Yep

[tough spruce]

Depends on what platform

Obviously they don’t upload those files since YouTube (and obviously fp) 4k will use easily 5x that bandwidth

[slate wing]

I can’t speak for float plane but no, the yt transcode will usually be smaller

Also that was literally for their export server

[tough spruce]

Then it’s not h264(5)

YouTube won’t send you 250+mb/s if the original file wasn’t even capable

Just wasting money

[slate wing]

What the hell are you talking about

On the topic of float plane, last time I heared they used h.264 for 4k when they should really be using vp9

[swift idol]

I am sure they employ people much smarter than we are considering they own a multi-million $ business. It's never as simple as just doing something based on theory

[slate wing]

You would be surprised

[swift idol]

No I wouldn't after doing 5 years working as an IT contractor servicing multiple companies

It's never simple as it sounds.

[deep wraith]

you'd probably need to keep h.264 around too for older devices, so there is more encoding and storage cost involved 😉 then there is initial implementation cost and maintenance cost for an extra format. It kinda depends on how much money they can save on bandwidth.

I'm not an expert when it comes to video, but I've worked with many companies on improving webapps performance

[slate wing]

If a device is so bad it does not support vp9 you probably shouldn’t serving 4k to it. A bandwidth saving of 30-40% should be easy to do as well

[wispy marsh]

I never ever use 4k content

4k scaling, yes, but never content unless it's a 4k video shot on my iPhone

[slate wing]

I wish phones could just shoot in raw. Their processing sucks

[amber cairn]

it's the processing that makes phone cameras not suck

[wispy marsh]

Phones do shoot in raw

[swift idol]

And you can shoot in RAW on some phones

[slate wing]

I myself can do better processing in dark table and primer

[amber cairn]

iphones can shoot in raw I know that much

[wispy marsh]

Not all iPhones

[amber cairn]

Then you'd have a good proper camera too no

[slate wing]

Only the newest models support pro res

[wispy marsh]

Only Pro iPhones from 12 and onwards

[slate wing]

No because I’m poor lol

[deep wraith]

yeah, but phones do not come with you attached to them, so they have to do some guesswork about the processing while not having a supervision

[swift idol]

Any android phone that supports Camera2 API can shoot in RAW

[slate wing]

That’s why I want it to be optional.

[slate wing]

Raw photos not video

[swift idol]

Yes, Raw photos

[deep wraith]

a lot of phones support RAW

[slate wing]

I want raw video lol

[swift idol]

Raw photo's and video

it does both

[slate wing]

Guess open cameras a piece of shit then

[amber cairn]

my pixel can store photos in raw + jpeg if i want apparently, so eh

[swift idol]

No, that's your device and your manufacturer not including the Camera2 API from the factory. You can't add Camera2 API via an app

[slate wing]

I can use camera2 in it. Might just not be fully supported

[swift idol]

What...?

[slate wing]

I can use the camera2 api for taking raw photos but not video in open camera

[amber cairn]

there are different degrees of camera2 compatibility too

[slate wing]

Should just be stock on all phones but no fuck you

[swift idol]

You can use a custom ROM if it's built in. Lineage OS I think is one of them

[amber cairn]

Aren't custom roms on android a bit more of a headache now if you want to use banking apps etc?

[slate wing]

Yes

I can’t use Netflix or Hulu on my old phone because of it

[swift idol]

If you load Magisk or something to stop the trip wire being set then you can use it normally.

[amber cairn]

is magisk still being actively updated? Last thing I heard there was some controversy because the developer got a job at google but don't know how that's affected things really

[slate wing]

I think there was some DRM video issues even with magiskw

[swift idol]

It is yeah, it's open source so people took it over, there are other alternatives too

[amber cairn]

this is why I stopped rooting stuff a while ago, way too much homework now 😂

[swift idol]

Same, but it's a viable option if someone want's a feature and their device doesn't support it from the manufacturer 😄

[slate wing]

I just carry around a laptop if it’s something I care about. My phone is a music player and discord shitposting device

[swift idol]

You said you wanted to shoot raw fr your phone, the rooting and custom ROM was a method to do it but yeah you do jump through hoops to get there.

[hollow pulsar]

Another example of security securing the device against the owner.

Can I use a SanDisc microSDHC card, using a Trancend adapter?

[hearty spear]

as long as it's a microsd adapter, yes

SD cards are standard, and work with any adapters / devices that are made for SD cards

[junior tide]

its like asking if your msi gpu will work with your gigabyte board

[dull granite]

will my ryzen cpu work on a intel board?

[swift idol]

With enough force and determination it will fit

[leaden gale]

You know, you'd think people would understand this as the joke it is

But given some of the things I've seen in this server in the past, someone is bound to take this seriously

We had an individual socket their Intel CPU sideways in the socket and clamp it down

We've had people plugging their M.2 SSDs into the SATA power connector because it just so happens to fit perfectly

[vapid smelt]

It runs cooler that way

[swift idol]

I'd pay to see this

[chilly schooner]

hey is anyone in the official watercooling discord?

[dull granite]

you can do this

but you need to do it with molex to sata because otherwise you will shortcircut your motherboard AND ram that is placed in third slot

[lilac sage]

no they stuck an m.2 ssd into a SATA power plug

there was no way to ttransfer data

much less power lol

[fluid ridge]

i just bought affinity's entire suite after v2 came out

extremely poor now

[leaden gale]

Because that's a SATA power connector

All it does is provide power to SATA hard drives and SSDs

If you plug an M.2 into one of those and turn on your power supply, it will fry the SSD.

Ah very nice video about pikvm, i totally forgot i got one from the Kickstarter 😂

[muted relic]

Holy crap, when did Raspberry Pis get so expensive

[gilded quest]

pandemic

I'm glad I bought mine pre-pandemic for msrp

[wind pulsar]

They have been ever since the end of 2019

Which coincidentally lines up with the start of the pandemic

[fossil frost]

lines up with the chip shortage too

also lines up with them switching a bunch of their booked fab capacity to the 2040 too, which gets much higher yields and is their own silicone

[sonic spruce]

So I have 2 x 8gb and 2x4 gb sticks of ram. Should I put the 8 and 4 together or the 8 with the 8 and 4 with the 4?

[graceful burrow]

8+8

And then don't use the 4+4

[sonic spruce]

Why?

[graceful burrow]

Because you always cross-post and it's cringe

And also for a legitimate reason

[sonic spruce]

Why shouldn’t I use the 4 gb sticks?

[waxen stream]

I'm dum

Can I use a psu as an exhaust

[graceful burrow]

Sometimes

Not very effective since psu's tend to be at the bottom of the case and not the top anymore

[north magnet]

no u use hot psu air as intake

lol

semiconductors too

[lilac sage]

clean dirt. you ever try to clean dirt?

[night heron]

yeah

i have a jar full of clean dirt

[north magnet]

lmao

jar

[lilac sage]

prob bleach, disinfectants, water, physical and chemical separation,

[night heron]

if you want like an oz of clean dirt i could hook you up

[north magnet]

only an oz? i need 10qs of that

[night heron]

youll have to give me like a week

[north magnet]

Okay lmk when you have cleaned "dirt" so it becomes "clen"

[fossil frost]

ffs... 2 anthony videos almost back to back...

[lilac sage]

jake is sad you skipped over his router video

[fossil frost]

jake can lick my balls 🙂

[opaque cave]

Hey lads, where can i ask for recommendation for a cooler on an amd chip?

[lilac sage]

here, whats the chip?

[opaque cave]

r5 3600

My aio is dying, tired of the noice lol, so im thinking of going non liquid, but i dont wanna throw too much cash at it

Seeing as its "just" a 3600, i dont think aio is necessary (i bought it for the heck of it to begin with). Im just waaay too much outta the game to know what cooler to buy. Obvious choice would be some kind of noctua fan, but i wanted to get some input. Max 100€ would be preferable. I dont give too many fucks about looks, as it just sits there lol

[lilac sage]

so how much money you want to go for?

oh I see 100 euros thats alot

AK620

on a budget, Thermalright peerless assassin 120

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/9T92FT/deepcool-ak620-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ak620-bknnmt-g

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGM6FcLDckk&t=859s&ab_channel=GamersNexus

forgot theres no embed

honestly the AK400 is pretty good as well. good enough for a 3600

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Thermalright-SE-ARGB-Heatpipes-Technology/dp/B09P4M4C7K/ heres the peerless assassin

[lilac sage]

so yea AK620 most likely.

its overkill tbh

so if you want to get something reasonable Id say AK400 but it depends where exactly you are in the EU

[delicate bough]

Get EKWB

[lilac sage]

Dark Rock Pro 4 used to be the king

[opaque cave]

Located in DK, so it doesnt matter much when talking about EU prices

[delicate bough]

🐳

[swift idol]

Scyth Fuma 2 is viable if you can get one pre-covid prices

[lilac sage]

denmark?

[opaque cave]

Aye

[lilac sage]

so yo uwant to use crowns instead?

or krone sorry

[opaque cave]

Well again, it doesnt matter too much what or where, so long as its € equivalant, and well, in the EU :p

But i appreciate you tryna be local ❤️

[lilac sage]

https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/product/9T92FT/deepcool-ak620-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ak620-bknnmt-g

AK620

if ur case cant support it I know a cooler thats shorter

https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/product/D3Gbt6/scythe-fuma-2-revb-3944-cfm-cpu-cooler-scfm-2100 this one which nathan said before.

its 155mm tall instead of the 160mm or something the ak620 is

and ye you can just use amazon.de since germany typically has the best prices anyway

[opaque cave]

Oh shit word! Last time i used pcpartpicker (many a moons ago) i dont think i had the option to get local shit, only newegg stuff. Thats why i havent used it in ages.
The DeepCool AK620 is EXACTLY what im looking for. And its on a site i frequently use. Even if i order now (22:40) ill get that fucker tomorrow at like 10:00 😄
Thank you so much for your help, i truly appreciate it!

[lilac sage]

np

[lilac sage]

ye in the top right hand corner of pcpp is a "choose a country" dropdown menu

[opaque cave]

Shit man, musta been too long since i last used it. I 'member using it back in the day to figure out what parts fit together lmao
Really tho, i appreciate the feedback, and the time (short or long) you spent gathering this info for me. Really.

[lilac sage]

ye no problem. If you want to see how it fairs vs noctua just watch the video I sent earlier

#public-chat message

sadly doesnt embed but he tests pretty well

[opaque cave]

Too late for that, as i already ordered that sucker :p
On another totally random note, would you happen to know why Chrome is throwing NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID all off a sudden? (inb4 chrome bad :D)
Ive had it on a few random sites, but when i ordered the cooler, or at least tried to, via chrome, it threw me that. Obv, it doesnt happen on FF or Edge, im just wondering why all of a sudden (well in the past 2 weeks-ish or so) it happens. Cant even say "dont care, send me"

[lilac sage]

dont know it personally but googling says something about cookies

or a firewall issue or something

[opaque cave]

Yeh, thats what i figured the first time around, but a total reset didnt fix it either. My best guess is, its a borked patch, as i dont see the same issue on work laptop.

[lilac sage]

ye. do you have ur google account synced between ur home desktop and work laptop?

[opaque cave]

Aye

[lilac sage]

then ye most likely some chrome installation issue

[opaque cave]

I DG'd my chrome install to my works "accepted" install, but still same issue. Idfk, nothings changed on my home network, just weird shit haha

Guess theyre forcing me to go FF

[lilac sage]

RIP

btw I hope you checked how much height ur cooler can be in ur case

whats ur case. I can check for you

[opaque cave]

H710, shouldnt be a problem

[hearty spear]

710 Flow?

[opaque cave]

Nah just the regular ass 710 from a few years ago

[lilac sage]

ye loosk fine. the H710 has a cooler height of 185mm pretty freaking high

[opaque cave]

Yeh right? Im sitting with an aio with a clearance of maybe 80 ish mm

Looking at its more like 60 lmao

I bought some comps from a site. With my purchase of the 3600 they could throw in an AIO. From a company ive never heard of. Shits called Enermax. But it was free, and it was an AIO. Been working perfectly for a couple years, but now its ratteling like an old persons throat. Sounds like half the liquid has evaporated lmao. But only some times??
Thats why i /was/ in the market for a new cooler, its tiring listening to gurgle sounds from my pc 😛

[calm spindle]

I just found out that I share a bday with deadmau5

[opaque cave]

Oh no shit? Was his pet named the same as yours? I believe it was Arthur or somet shit

[calm spindle]

Never knew he had a pet, and no

[opaque cave]

Ah it wouldve been funny if it was same name 😛 Did you have a cat?

[calm spindle]

Apparently his cats name is "Professor Meowingtons"

[calm spindle]

2 cats actually

[opaque cave]

I fucking love cats! Miss my little one, he was named Katze (german for cat(im not german lmao))

[calm spindle]

Meanwhile mine are called "ball" (meant to be the second part of snowball) and "sugar", but in a sweeter way

And yes, I just tried translating their names from Latvian to English

[opaque cave]

Hahah 😄 Youre from Latvia? I have a bunch of colleagues from Latvia. Whre from?

[calm spindle]

I live nearby Aizpute

It's a small town in Courland (Kurzeme)

[calm spindle]

That's kind-of surprising that you have colleagues from the country! How's their English? Are the accents still extremely noticeable/pronounced?

[opaque cave]

Actually pretty good! Idk, everyone who is not from an English speaking country will always have an accent i guess lol. I work in IT, so its not too bad. Its not like talking with Indians. (absolutely no hate here, the accent is just soooo thick)

[calm spindle]

Not all Indians have the stereotypical accent Hollywood has normalized

One question

If you had to guess my age group, what would you guess

[opaque cave]

Id say between 0-100

Am i close :D?

[calm spindle]

Bruh

That's basically the whole human lifespan

[opaque cave]

So i win?

[calm spindle]

And no, I'm not gonna be able to go 0-100 in 2.6 seconds

[opaque cave]

Id say

[calm spindle]

Ig so

[opaque cave]

22

[calm spindle]

But maybe you can try guessing a more accurate group?

[calm spindle]

Huh?

[opaque cave]

Id would say youre around 22, so i guess age group would be 18-29

[calm spindle]

Incorrect, lower

[opaque cave]

9

[calm spindle]

Not that low XD

[opaque cave]

😄

I figure youre around 13-17 with your responses :p

[calm spindle]

Yea

[sonic barn]

Good news Roblox was down 21% today. Trash company hopefully gonna go to the ground

[calm spindle]

If you want to say something bad about a thing, then try to create or show a better thing as an example first.

[lilac sage]

well roblox is a trash company

[sonic barn]

Roblox lets pedos on their platform

[lilac sage]

prob not for that reason for me personally

I more have an issue with them basically making mad bank off of ppl who never get compensation

plus its being used as a large marketing platform

[sonic barn]

They don't give any personal info even if they have developer that runs a discord server trying to meet kids irl

Scummy company

[calm spindle]

The roblox discord server is not run by the roblox company

[hidden basin]

Exactly 14

[sonic barn]

Talking about the developer servers I saw that there was another video for someone going to court for doing something to a kid

[calm spindle]

Correct

[sonic barn]

Roblox doesn't give any info and unbans their accounts

[calm spindle]

As the person doesn't have access to internet, it doesn't matter if the person is banned or not

Plus if a employee does something bad, it doesn't mean it's the company's fault.

[sonic barn]

They make money if they're the owner

[hidden basin]

A ton of people on discord are fsr

[stuck stratus]

tbf that's more discord's problem than roblox's

not their platform to moderate

[sonic barn]

Would you cut their income though

[calm spindle]

Yet you use discord, and blame the Roblox platform.

[sonic barn]

Discord isn't the problem there's stupid people on here

[calm spindle]

.

[stuck stratus]

for something that you can't prove and didn't happen on-platform?

[calm spindle]

And we're both part of them

[sonic barn]

It was a vid on this sonic game or something

Has like 2 mill views

[calm spindle]

Sonic is owned by Sega...

[stuck stratus]

not saying the hands-off approach is the best, but ultimately you can only go so far in moderating what your player base does outside your platform

[calm spindle]

Not Roblox Inc...

[sonic barn]

Yeah Sega sued them after

[calm spindle]

Sued roblox for having a user created game

Just like what happened to Pokémon brick bronze

[sonic barn]

https://youtu.be/wdDfdlLuAgA

[calm spindle]

It was user created, and Nintendo and Sega are some brands you don't want to steal names from

[stuck stratus]

that game was somehow up for years

[sonic barn]

Sega only removed their game because of the guy that made it

Watch the vid

[calm spindle]

Iheuzio

Do you even read the messages?

[lilac sage]

Sega is typically very hands off with fan games. If you try to monetize anything about ur fan games, thats where it gets real. the fact they stepped in shows that it was very concerning

[sonic barn]

No

[calm spindle]

.

[sonic barn]

True but Roblox controls accounts and still sends them money

[calm spindle]

Since they got arrested, they've been fired tho

[sonic barn]

It's a roblox developer they aren't an employee

[stuck stratus]

so they should just start cutting off developers if a crack team of moderators determines they're suspicious?
