[lilac sage]

the jump from 1080p to 1440p is more noticeable than 1440p to 2160p (4k)

[night heron]

2160p*

[full fossil]

4k is bad

[lilac sage]

oh sorry

[night heron]

and i disagree honestly

[summer sphinx]

is a 4590 gtx 1660s system good for medium?

[full fossil]

4k mod

[timber storm]

the truth is, is that it depends on the monitor size

[full fossil]

at 1440?

[summer sphinx]

720 p

[hoary hearth]

huh, It would look like the jump to 4k is much more. but i guess its diminishing returns at that point? good to know.

[night heron]

yeah size:resolution:distance

[night heron]

the jump to 4k is larger yah

[full fossil]

you can do 1080p med for 60fps

720 i wouldnt recommend

[summer sphinx]

my monitor is 1024 x 768

[full fossil]

fair

yeah you should be fine

[hoary hearth]

And if i'm going to a bigger monitor i'd loose ppi staying at 1080p which I don't want.

[lilac sage]

you can use FSR 2.0 or DLSS 2.0 to basically fake 4k from 1440p. not possible for 1080p to 1440p. theres too little to go off of

[full fossil]

even enough headroom to bump to high

dlss is mid

[night heron]

i won’t use dlss/fsr aside from their frame interpolation

[lilac sage]

easily it will work

[night heron]

interpolation is cool to bypass cpu bottlenecks

[full fossil]

yeah true

[lilac sage]

I have a friend with a 4790 and a 1660ti he plays at 1080p no problem

[full fossil]

other than that its worthless

[summer sphinx]

also uh is there a version of dsr i can use on my pc for 4:3 resolutioms?

[full fossil]

makes the game look worse in many cases

[night heron]

1080p (24” or 27”) and 1440p 27” both have very obvious alias artifacting (shimmering and jagged edges) in games whereas 4k 27” barely has any

[hoary hearth]

I have a 1660S for now and yeah 1080p is no problem.

[manic shard]

i dont notice it on mine

[night heron]

do you play with antialiasing enabled

[manic shard]

yeah 😿

[night heron]

there u go

AA eliminates aliasing at the cost of making the game look like a blurry mess

[hoary hearth]

So I want a new monitor, currently have a pretty small 1080p ultrawide. I want something bigger but not sure if 21:9 is worth it. Games are always a struggle and sometimes don't work at all (as in black bars, not that they won't stat), although for work its great snapping two windows and having essentially 2 4:3 monitors. so I don't know. should I just go for a big 16:9? Ultrawide feels like it's loosing steam.

[night heron]

native 4k 27” looks sooooo much better than 1440p 27” with temporal AA

[night heron]

a lot of games support ultrawide nowadays

the only one i can think of that doesn’t off the top of my head is valorant

and a few other competitive games

[hoary hearth]

Meh, probably just my selection. I play a lot of older stuff or console emulation. Although last game I got is Sonic Frontiers and it doesn't support it, but it's a Sonic game. What i said about loosing steam was more about hearing less people talking about it.

If i get a 16:9, i would likely go to dual monitors later.

[night heron]

i believe ultrawide is on the rise actually

especially with the 34” qd-oled panel going around

but wanting 16:9 is completely understandable, i don’t want an ultrawide

[hoary hearth]

Yeah I loved 21:9 when I got this like 4 years ago, but I kind of just want a big regular monitor. a lot of sites also go wonky if you don't do split screen and other stuff like that. But I don't know if I'll hate it once I actually go back. Guess this isn't really a question then 🤣

[leaden gale]

Nope, cause anti-aliasing is for squares

[night heron]

agreed

[hearty spear]

I want someone to make a 32:10 curved display. That'd be KILLER for productivity

[night heron]

samsung is making a dual 4k ultra wide soon as shown in the radeon 7000 announcement

[hoary hearth]

Anyone know of idea display? seems suspiciously cheap. Only 60hz though, which is another thing I don't know much about. Never seen a high refresh panel in person. I don't play any shooters which is the stereotypical use for which refresh so I don't know if i should look for more than 60hz. https://www.newegg.com/black-idea-display-4k-gaming-monitor-g27p-27/p/3D4-004P-00001

[night heron]

7680x2160 with 5000 dimming zones

that’ll be a monster for screen realestate

[night heron]

high refresh helps outside of gaming too

scrolling and controlling your cursor is substantially easier

[hearty spear]

high refresh rate makes everything look smoother. It's not a bad thing.

[hoary hearth]

Oh yeah I know it's definitely a good thing, was just asking how good.

[hearty spear]

so good that once you're used to it? you won't wanna go back

[night heron]

using 60hz is like trying to use your computer drunk

when you’re used to a high refresh rate

that’s how dramatic it is

[manic shard]

yeah i have a 240 hz main monitor and a 60 hz second monitor ☠️

[night heron]

when you drag a window over to your 60hz monitor you’re probably like 🫠

[hoary hearth]

Where would you say is the point where it gets good? 120hz? 144hz? obviusly more is more.

[night heron]

that depends on the person to be honest

some people swear they can’t see anything over 120hz

[manic torrent]

4:3? what year is it

[manic shard]

am i the only one that notices a coloration difference when you change your monitor to 60 hz

[night heron]

to me 240hz is another massive improvement in smoothness over 120hz

but most people won’t sacrifice picture quality to go from 120 to 240

[manic torrent]

I sleep. 3am kek

[manic shard]

theres no like picture quality loss w/ my monitor

[night heron]

i mean there is technically

[manic shard]

i wanted to get a 4k monitor but i wouldnt be able to adjust to 144hz after using 240 for so long

[manic torrent]

are you talking about refresh rate or response time though

[night heron]

smoothness, refresh rate

[night heron]

you would but it’d take a while

i’m sure there’ll be many more 4k 240hz monitors in the next few years though

[manic shard]

i really dont like see the pixels with 1080p

[manic shard]

yeah for 500$ ☠️

[night heron]

go load up a game on a 1080p monitor and disable antialiasing and tell me you don’t see pixels and jagged edges

[manic torrent]

https://www.google.com/search?q= 32%3A10 curved

[fossil frost]

i jump between 60hz and 144hz all the time.. and you get used to it within a minute or 2, anyone who tells you different is a princess or is trying to justify their bad purchasing decisions to themselves

[night heron]

or your eyes just suck

[manic shard]

well i mean 1080p with anti aliasing get more frames than 4k without

[manic shard]

😿

[night heron]

obviously anyone can cope with 60hz, we all did at one point

[manic shard]

tru

[manic torrent]

it also heavily depends on your monitors response time, as well as what game you are playing

[manic shard]

its so weird my phones 60 hz but it feels smoother than my pc at 60hz locked at 60 fps

[night heron]

yeah but imo response time matters more at very high refresh rates

id take 120hz with mediocre response time over 60hz on oled

[manic torrent]

yes, but 60fps 2ms response is different from 60hz 14 ms

[night heron]

of course

i prefer the motion on my odyssey g7 (240hz 1.5-2.5ms) over the motion on my acer xv252q (390hz 3-4ms)

the clarity is more important to me over the smoothness beyond 240hz

[manic shard]

isnt 390 like super unsynced with each pixel

[night heron]

i’m not sure what you mean

[manic shard]

each pixel refreshes separately from another

[night heron]

do you mean how the pixels can’t respond fast enough for the refresh rate

[manic shard]

yeah

[night heron]

because pixels always refresh separately from eachother

[sonic barn]

seizure lights

[hoary hearth]

So another fun thing, I have an nvidia 1660S, but plan to go to AMD later. From what a read Nvidia cards will work with FreeSync monitors over DP. Maybe. if you're lucky. Is it actually that unstable or can you expect it to just work?

[night heron]

i expect it to just work

[manic torrent]

nono my siezure lights are seperate to my monitor

[night heron]

post ur seizure lights king

[manic torrent]

it is very very very likely just to work

[night heron]

freesync on nvidia has been around since 2016

[hoary hearth]

ok, that's good.

[night heron]

it should just work with almost any monitor

[manic shard]

i notice no difference with gsync or freesync on

[hearty spear]

NVidia works with both freesync and gsync. AMD is just freesync.

[summer sphinx]

i use a crt proudly

[night heron]

in what game

[hoary hearth]

Yeah I've never owned a variable refresh monitor so i'd never checked.

[sonic barn]

gsync is freesync

[night heron]

if you’re getting over 240fps on a 240hz monitor then you’re not using freesync anyway

[sonic barn]

same features as most monitors now have it

[hearty spear]

I see plenty of 32:9's but no :10's

[manic shard]

any, cyberpunk, warzone, minecraft, trackmania, etc

[sonic barn]

the software side though is both different

[hearty spear]

they are absolutely not the same

[night heron]

the difference is very noticeable for me but i don’t know if i prefer it

[sonic barn]

the lg displays I swear say freesync is the same

[night heron]

freesync and gsync are different but give you the same end result

[hearty spear]

GSync requires specialized hardware that you can only get from NVidia and pay licensing for.

[manic torrent]

... depending on the level of gsync

[sonic barn]

https://www.pcworld.com/article/423202/g-sync-vs-freesync-amd-nvidia-monitor.html

yeah but its a software thing

[night heron]

g sync ultimate is in theory better but because it requires special hardware if often ruins the monitors that the module is used in

[sonic barn]

the monitors are basically the same for offering the features

[hearty spear]

Quote:
"Nvidia G-Sync Compatible, the most common version of G-Sync today, is based on the VESA Adaptive Sync standard. But Nvidia G-Sync and G-Sync Ultimate, the less common and more premium versions of G-Sync, use proprietary hardware in the display."

[sonic barn]

the lg stuff supports both

freesync and gsync

[hearty spear]

Which GSync?

[hoary hearth]

From what I read G-sync compatible just means a free sync display that nvidia validated to work.

[sonic barn]

I don't even know

[hearty spear]

basically yes

[manic shard]

my monitor has response time options like i would choose to use a lower response time ☠️

[sonic barn]

I have the gl 650bf

[night heron]

yeah those are overdrive settings

[night heron]

what monitor do you have

[manic torrent]

tbh - this is the problem. We've been talking about this in an actual productive way for some time. There is no simple answer to response time (real world), refresh rate, gsync, freesync, felt smoothness, yadda yadda

[manic shard]

uhhh i forgot but its that alienware 240 hz 27 inch 1080p one

[hoary hearth]

I'm heavily regretting getting an 8gb ram laptop. my browsing habits are not compatible with it.

[sonic barn]

my other monitor is just a widescreen one by lg no gsync or anything

[sonic barn]

is the slot upgradeable

[hoary hearth]

that's what I have now.

[manic shard]

me when my xbox crashes due to not enough ram running discord

[night heron]

i don’t use freesync because my odyssey g7 has annoying flicker when it’s enabled

it’s not really necessary at 240hz anyway

[hoary hearth]

Nah, it's a thinkpad X1 yoga, all soldered.

[night heron]

yeah buying an 8gb soldered laptop is a serious oof

[sonic barn]

bruh my thinkpad was the x13 gen 1 amd 16gb ram

I got it for 500cad, also had the t14s intel before for 16gb too

same price

[manic shard]

my 2 recommended options for a monitor at first were some 120$ samsun like office one with a huge border or the alienware 240 hz one for 200 ☠️

[night heron]

speaking of displays does anyone here use auto brightness on their phone or does everyone control it manually

[sonic barn]

I got it the same year it released, u just have to call banking firms around your area

[hoary hearth]

500 cad used or from lenovo? that sounds really cheap.

[manic shard]

uhh i use autobrightness

[sonic barn]

from a investment firm

[manic shard]

and alot of the times manually change it

[night heron]

i’m trying out auto brightness right now, i’ve always done it manually

[manic torrent]

^^ this 😄

[manic shard]

ill be in a really bright room and it will change brightnesses even if the lighting hasnt changed around me and will just randomly turn the brightness all the way down at really inconvenient times

[sonic barn]

both just had keyboard issues and I got it replaced with lenovo as they were still on warranty

[hoary hearth]

i used auto brightness until the sensor died i guess. I'd still lower it when it's really dark, but otherwise it's nice to not get blinded indoors or tap around blindly in the sunlight.

[sonic barn]

I asked if they had any broken thinkpads that needed to be cleared out

[ivory wolf]

How the hell

[sonic barn]

went there and bought one off them after taking a look

[night heron]

the issue i have with auto brightness is that it limits your max brightness when you try to change it manually

65% on auto and 65% on manual are not equivalent

[manic shard]

multitaskers in a nutshell

[manic shard]

yk the always on displays for the 14? why would you need that

[night heron]

always on display lets you see what time it is without having to pick up your phone

[hearty spear]

always on displays are stupid. I disable that shit

[hoary hearth]

Like 90% of those are stale tabs, but i'll often generate 20-40 tabs in a research session and at a certain point cleaning them out is too much work.

[manic torrent]

ehhh, 8gb is very entry level in 2022. My main desktop has 32, but my laptop is fine with 16

[ivory wolf]

Oh

[night heron]

yeah i dont understand why apple still offers the macbook air with 8gb of ram

it's like theyre intentionally making a device thatll go obsolete in a couple years

[ivory wolf]

I usually have like 7 tabs at max

[hoary hearth]

yeah i've said 16gb is the min for a long time, then went and and let the sale price get me.

[manic torrent]

because macos has less overhead, and 8gb is fine for normie type stuff

[hearty spear]

start new habits.
New research session? New window. Kill it when you're done, and all of that goes away.

[night heron]

but do normies need a $1000 M2 laptop

[ivory wolf]

My PC sucks and I need a new one as my current one simply does not suffice ahymo7

Anymore

[manic torrent]

the m2 is a pointless upgrade, better off with the m1

[hoary hearth]

no but they want it

[night heron]

it has to be intentional planned obsolescence

speaking of M1

[ivory wolf]

[night heron]

you can get an open box ipad air 256gb with the M1 for $460

pretty insane price to performance

[manic torrent]

ehh, I mean the m2 is better, but the M1 is perfectly fine for everything you'd be doing with an air

[fossil frost]

its intentional obsolescence, and, you create a product you want to sell, and then you intentionally create a shitter product to sit under it, and a much much higher priced product above it... now... your overpriced middle product, seems much better... because nobody wants the shit one, but nobody is going to pay for the stupid one

[night heron]

yeah true but the m2 air has a lot of unrelated upgrades

[ivory wolf]

I wanna get a M1 Mac mini, but it won't run basically all of my steam games and 16GB version is too much

[night heron]

yeah dont buy any mac for gaming

[ivory wolf]

Even if all I need it for is AutoCAD

I always have the Xbox

[fossil frost]

on about autocad.. .i need to get rid of fusion 360 and get something that is fully online... because when fusion360 went down for maintenance the other day... it would let me model whatever i wanted, save whatever i wanted locally... but... would not allow me to export anything to an STL... because "the servers are in maintenance mode"... fuck that... STL export is done locally... but because the servers are off, i cant use that basic function

[night heron]

i havent owned a laptop in almost a decade but i kind of want one now

[full fossil]

I wish I had known about that before i bought an m2 macbook pro

lmao cant run 32 bit games

or any game really but

[night heron]

absolutely gorgeous laptop, it's just not meant for gaming at all

[full fossil]

Yeah

[ivory wolf]

I currently have a Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15ARR with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200U, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB Boot HDD

I'm in dire need

[night heron]

the last time i owned a laptop was so long ago that it had a 2 core 2ghz pentium, 2gb of ddr2, a 480p TN screen, and an IDE hard drive

played a lot of wizard101 on that beast

[ivory wolf]

You know your laptop is great when it only boosts to 3.29GHZ

Oh and Raedon Vega 3 Integrated graphics

[night heron]

a tire-burning 3.29ghz

[ivory wolf]

It blows everything out of the water, if it was 1999

As far as I know, it's not 1999

[night heron]

if you got a ssd for it then itd be plenty fast for general office use

[ivory wolf]

It's a Lenovo laptop

Good luck

Even with an SSD it still wouldn't suffice for me

[dense violet]

anyone know ab copying hard drives to a new ssd?

[hoary hearth]

Kind of leaning towards this monitor, I know I was making if 1440p is worth it over 1080, but this one at 4K looks really nice as far as I can tell. or should i save the money for my GPU upgrade and get a 1440p panel? https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012055?Item=N82E16824012055

[dense violet]

i mean

sure get a 4k if u have the power for the 4k with good fps

[full fossil]

i feel you

[manic torrent]

I don't understand how people use 1080p single monitor systems for anything except pure gamign

[night heron]

the m28u is a great option

[full fossil]

For some reason when i fresh installed windows all the stuff saved half and half to my bootable usb and main hdd

[ivory wolf]

Relatable

[dense violet]

bro what

[full fossil]

and there is a hidden partition diskpart is telling me

[ivory wolf]

I use one 1080P monitor

[dense violet]

nuts

[hoary hearth]

Probably don't, although majority of what I play isn't super demandin or modern, and for productivity you can fit a tone more on with more pixels.

[night heron]

you can always get a new gpu later

[dense violet]

1440p is where its at

[night heron]

you dont have to be able to play AAA games at 4k to use a 4k monitor

[dense violet]

i have a 3080 in ultra 1440p i barely run mw2 at like 120fps so idk ab 4k

unless u have a 4090

[night heron]

again, not everyone cares about playing brand new AAA games at max settings

[hoary hearth]

I am planning on it, though I'm definitely not getting a flagship.

[night heron]

my gtx 1070 played all the games i cared about at 4k 120hz

[hoary hearth]

yeah I don't

[night heron]

(roblox, valorant, csgo, fortnite, overwatch)

I have a Raedon Vega 3 Integrated graphics, I can't even think about running MW2

[hoary hearth]

Oh lucky. I loved my DS lit and then DSi as a kid. Only console I have left is my homebrewed Wii but I rarely use it because Dolphin is much more convenient, mostly it get's used to rip disks or the rare times we want to play with friends.

[vapid smelt]

I play super Mario sunshine on mine and luigi mansion

[gilded quest]

Uhh

Idk what super Mario sunshine is. GameCube generation?

[vapid smelt]

Yup

[hoary hearth]

Homebrew on Wii is surprisingly active still, and alternate online multiplayer servers have some activity on the more popular games like mario cart.

I've played like 5 minutes of it, seems fun but I don't have a switch and their business model is kind of off putting to me.

[manic torrent]

what did you just say to me! .....

[leaden gale]

AYO, CE BIRTHDAY TIME???

[golden flicker]

ye

[leaden gale]

[arctic quiver]

Just put it in a micro-sd card and boot to it. That's what I did

[golden flicker]

imagine not saying happy birthday to CE

[leaden gale]

But why? What do I stand to gain from doing that instead of just using EmuDeck?

[graceful burrow]

I don't have to imagine

[night heron]

buying a steam deck and not using steamos defeats the point of the steam deck imo

you should at least dualboot and keep steam os as an option

[arctic quiver]

It's built from scratch, its compatibility with emulators and games. It's image scraper is awesome.

https://youtu.be/AuJ5_aqsvt8

It's worth a quick watch at least. Especially if you haven't dabbled in emulation yet on your steam deck

Does it line up with inflation?

[vapid smelt]

I don't think do

[stoic beacon]

Hmm, interesting...

[zenith burrow]

for how I see it if a 3090ti for 1300 euro is a good deal a 4080 that overperforms it by quite some for 1480 euros isn't that bad, it should be in the thousand euros tbh but at worst I just keep my 3090ti

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I don't think it's unfair, given that a GTX 1080 adjusted for inflation would cost $750, and the 4080 is....much faster, to say the least

[sonic spruce]

Uuhhhhhhhhhhhhuh, does mousepad matter or is there like ones that are better than others?

Hard to do that, given the sheer amount of funding devoted to R&D of the new products

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, it sorta does and it sorta doesn't

[stoic beacon]

There are ones that are better than others

[manic torrent]

and the buffer necessary to do so and manage through a possible bad year

nvidia can charge less, but they have no incentive to

[zenith burrow]

anyway, I'll just head to sleep, just stayed up to see if I could grab a 4080 but i wasn't fast enough

[stoic beacon]

Exactly...it's hard to explain that to gamerbros though

[vapid smelt]

Linus did a video on it https://youtu.be/nLgXeIaK0U0

Like the threads and shit matter for tracking

[manic torrent]

I mean they are ALSO not wrong that shit is too expensive, particularly in the low/mid range (which is starting to recover now, but damn)

[manic torrent]

I am using one right now, and my food tastes better

[stuck stratus]

nice and squishy

[stoic beacon]

Yes, but the amount of people that believe that GPUs should still cost < $600 in here is wild

[stuck stratus]

but not too squishy

[manic torrent]

They should.... but what GPUs are you talking about

[stoic beacon]

4080 series, at the moment

[manic torrent]

ok but that's not all GPUs.far from it

My 3070 that I paid $1100USD for in march 2021 is doing me pretty damn well, considering I have a 4k monitor

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I should have specified, the amount of people that believe a 4080 should still cost < $600 in here is wild lol

[stuck stratus]

right now the cheapest (last gen) gaming card nvidia offers is ~$350

(the rtx 3050)

[manic torrent]

and the 6650XT makes it look like a piece of shit

[full fossil]

1100USD?!

[stuck stratus]

yeah pretty much

[stoic beacon]

My GTX 1080 was $700, and it's still pretty great at 1440p.

[manic torrent]

do you remember march 2021? I was lucky I got one AT ALL, and it's an asus EKWB card

[full fossil]

Ah okay

[stoic beacon]

Depends on if you care about RTX or not (and productivity software)

[full fossil]

I think I’ve seen pics, but can you send some? I bet that looks really cool

[manic torrent]

... if you think you're ray tracing on a 3050 then looooool

[stuck stratus]

even with rtx it's hard to pick a clear winner

with a 3050

[full fossil]

Honestly I’d get a 4090, if the price was 60% of what it is

[stoic beacon]

There are other games with ray tracing that aren't cyberpunk.

[stuck stratus]

the 6650XT can run those

it is capable of ray tracing in small doses

I have one

God I love custom loop

[stuck stratus]

it's nothing to write home about but you can get playable framerates

probably better than a 3050

[full fossil]

I really want to do my own custom loop watercooling setup

Like, really badly

[vapid smelt]

Then spend hours building it and doing maintenance

[manic torrent]

do it. What do you have to lose apart from time, money, sanity, etc.

[full fossil]

It’s worth the price premium to me

And the labor

[manic torrent]

maintenance? pfffffff.

[stoic beacon]

Then do it I guess?

[full fossil]

What kind of prices am I looking at for a gpu + cpu loop

[vapid smelt]

All I need to do is spray my heatsink with air for maintenance 😎

[full fossil]

Including tubing and fittings etc etc

[stoic beacon]

I guarantee you, the price will be absolutely nothing compared to the work/upkeep/upgrade work

[manic torrent]

how long is a piece of string, but ... a few hundred bucks.

less if you are happy with bodging and second hand stuff

my first loop was functional and cheap

[full fossil]

I’ve seen kits for like 80$

Thing is it looks sketchy

[stoic beacon]

I've seen broken computers too

[manic torrent]

yeah I've seen new cars for $18k

[vapid smelt]

A basic well known cpu block is $100

[full fossil]

God damn

[stoic beacon]

Emphasis on basic

[manic torrent]

nah you can get one for $50

[full fossil]

What is it other than a block of metal with some acrylic?

[vapid smelt]

A non ek one with gold in it

[stoic beacon]

And the amount of time you will spend is going to shock you

Especially with Intel changing sockets every 3 years

It's so much easier and cheaper to get a aio

[vapid smelt]

Wtf it actually looks good too

[full fossil]

Aio’s don’t have the aesthetic

[manic torrent]

yeah dude, I told you. I know boats

barrow are a decent brand, so is bykski. Both available on aliexpress for very reasonable prices - but not too cheap that they are shit

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000028559906.html <- affordable kit

[full fossil]

If I buy a waterblock from them and it’s shit, I’m going to crucify you

[manic torrent]

dude I am literally using a barrow CPU block right now

[full fossil]

Then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about :)

[manic torrent]

but yeah, you can spend more than an entire moderate but nice watercooling system on a distribution block

[full fossil]

I’m the kind of guy that would put a 13900k and 4090 in a 15$ case

Provided that it had ventilation ofc

@manic torrent on that kit, what kinda gpus does that block fit ._.

[manic torrent]

I have no idea, you would have to do your own research - I probably wouldn't get the GPU block kit.

[vapid smelt]

ek charges $110 for a standalone 360mm radiator

[full fossil]

I might get a cpu kit and incorporate the gpu later

[full fossil]

Are they high?

Or are the products just really good

[manic torrent]

also you should 100000% get the fucking Hyte Y60

[full fossil]

I don like it

[manic torrent]

You pay a premium for not fucking around, and often if a shop is selling EK, they will have a big range.

[full fossil]

The thing about losing weight is, all your shirts start to look really big

[manic torrent]

I find in australia, the stocking is so fucking sparse for watercooling stuff AT ALL you end up either waiting, ordering from overseas, or mixing and matching. (usually a combo)

Wut. At least on UserBenchmark.com RTX 3050 scores just 2% higher than my 1660S, and actually looses in most categories.

[graceful burrow]

[hoary hearth]

like the name userbenchmark or the comparisons?

[graceful burrow]

he means anything related to ubm

The shit benchmarks the use, the Intel bias it's all too much

[hoary hearth]

IDK I just wind up there when searching "GPU compare" sometimes.

[manic torrent]

yes. it's shit.

[hoary hearth]

huh, interesting.

[lilac sage]

while the 3050 is superior to the 1660S the 2060 beats both and is cheaper.

[vapid smelt]

Their benchmarks are useless

[hoary hearth]

which are better?

they won't even fit on the 2nd gen airpods cause they are built that way

Yeah except they sell real apple products and washing machines and fridges. i guess its bestbuy but the product order person went crazy on ali express?

[hoary hearth]

Yeah like Newegg is in full black Friday mode, many others too. they have a new gimmick this year they're doing a thing they call black Friday price protection where if a thing you bought is discounted further in the future they'll refund the difference automatically.

[hollow pulsar]

I don’t trust Black Friday sales. Turns out a lot of places boil the frog on pricing and then (for example) lower it by 20% for a total price of 5% over normal retail value.

Camel camel camel though is legit.

too many vital parts are optional

Yeah DSC is what we're talking about. Apparently nvidia cards older than the 20 series don't have it and I was trying to figure out what refresh rate I'd get on a 1660S.

[wraith sonnet]

also 5kseries and older

[manic torrent]

Uncompressed 4k 120Hz 8bit consumes 25GBit/s

and I have 4 lanes of 8.1gb/s, more than enough

I spent too many hours troubleshooting my rx 570's bullshit because I was trying to do thunderbolt shenanigans with dual monitors

honestly dude, nobody reads that shit. for reals. HR people scan it for keywords and shit and make sure it matches the gist, they hand it off to manager/other staff who do the same thing with a more specific eye, screening interview to make sure you're a person and you can at least sound like you know what you're talking about.

Then interview is where you explain that shit

and I only do that for my most recent jobs.

but there's word salad garbage of my skills

because when you do IT for 20+ years, you see some shit.

[fossil frost]

most recent 2 jobs have a line for keywords, with a paragraph (3-4 sentences), and anything beyond that, is just the keywords.

[manic torrent]

"I did some stuff here"

also there was a job I was at for like 3 months... I just left it off

[fossil frost]

"this was long enough ago, that it doesnt matter anymore"

i have a line under "personal" too, that says i am a casual gamer, and an armature triathlete too... and since adding that, any interview i have had, the interviewer has spent more time talking about triathlon with me, than about the job or my skills

I can't remember if I put my embedded electronic stuff on there or not

but most people don't write canbus integrations and build new dash clusters in their spare time

[fossil frost]

my favorite question is "how do you keep up to date with new technology, things that are happening in the space"... and i always answer "technology and programming is a hobby i have had since i was about 11, and im fortunate enough that i get paid to do my hobby... and because its my hobby, i like to play around with it outside of work, in my free time, so im always constantly learning new things and keeping up to date" 😄

that always goes down well

[manic torrent]

Ah, see I go the other way and bring it back to fundamentals - I understand things from first principles, and new stuff is always old stuff with a slight change, so keeping up is super easy when you approach it from that perspective.

[fossil frost]

either way, memorable answer, and thats what you want to do, more important than anything else, stand out, be more memorable than everyone else

[manic torrent]

I generally don't have a problem doing that 😄

is the microphone of the corsair virtuosu rgb wireless xt having a good quality or is it equal to my 5 year old no name headset?

[smoky flint]

Gday all, been a viewer since the show began many moons ago, thought i would join up say hi and see if i can help/get help when its needed.

Be relentless in the pursuit of your true self.

Glad you found the fix! And if I may encourage you - always share the fix, no matter how stupid you might feel or how complicated the fix. 🙂

I COPPED A 4080

LETS F GO.

[chilly schooner]

nice, my microcenter released them today

they have a few in stock for $1200, debating on snagging one

[full fossil]

I got my TUF near enough msrp but comparing prices here in the UK they’re upwards to 1600…

So I snatched a great product

It went out of stock in 3-4 minutes

I got so lucky

[chilly schooner]

Nice, where'd you buy it off of?

[latent geyser]

does dbrand do discounts?

[sonic barn]

shortlinus discount

but there's cheaper vinyl wrap for laptops and such

you can buy a whole roll of carbon fiber for the same price

then cut it out for your phone, laptop etc

[fossil frost]

https://twitter.com/donie/status/1592859900941852674?s=46&t=qL7MvbGTbgzjHQqOxT5Ssw <<< as somebody who has been a professional developer for 20 years now... i would tell elon to suck my dick, take the 3 months pay, and leave for literally any other job i could find...

[sonic barn]

I saw the email off r/antiwork

the 3 months though seems excessive like he wants people to leave

[fossil frost]

the 3 months is to try and avoid being sued

[sonic barn]

they pay the devs like 8k a month minimum

[fossil frost]

what he doesnt realise is, a lot of places outside of the USA have things called "employment law" that doesnt suck donkey balls... and in places like germany and the uk, where many of these people work... this is super super illegal to do

[sonic barn]

they got like 11k employees, idk why you need 11k for a website that doesn't push consistent updates

youtube has a ton because of analytics

[latent geyser]

how do i use it

[fossil frost]

even if you take the 3 months severance and leave, you can sue for unfair dismissal, and you will win, and will be instantly awarded an amount based on how long you previously worked there

[sonic barn]

check any of the previous sponsored ltt vids by dbrand

usually shortcircuit videos

[sonic barn]

u know space x and tesla employees sometimes work over time 80hrs a week and since they are on contract, don't get paid for extra work

there was some people in the tesla discord that talked about it

[latent geyser]

yeah that's just an affiliate link and not one that gives a discount

[sonic barn]

you can just get a vinyl roll for 20$

and cut it

[fossil frost]

i work 37.5 hours as a developer, and i can tell you now, that is already too many hours. if i worked somewhere that required me to work that many hours, i wouldnt work there

[latent geyser]

i mean its 20 dollars for the skin from dbrand itself

and the only device i'd want a skin on is my phone because its not like i can put it on my monitor

[sonic barn]

well its the same with nasa as there's deadlines too

and people still wanna work there

[sonic barn]

you can put it on your desk

[fossil frost]

i have deadlines too, my whole multi-billion-dollar-world-wide company does... but we have managers that respect their employees and owners that respect their employees, and laws that respect employees too... so... yeah

[sonic barn]

they are long rolls

[fossil frost]

and. people work at NASA to get NASA on their CV ready for the jobs they want after NASA

people at twitter work at twitter to get a major social media platform on their CV so they can go after the real job they want

[sonic barn]

twitter just seems like an easy job

[fossil frost]

same for any place like that, you go there to get the company name on your CV, because it makes it easier to get something you want more

[sonic barn]

the entire site stays the same

[chilly schooner]

damn bro, it is impossible to find aquacomputer's flow sensors.

Those are some fighting words,

Google is just a site that matches up keywords with words on websites

[fossil frost]

at its core, yes it is, but for both sites, doing it at scale is the hard part

damn time flies.. almost 3 years since my high end pc build

and i havnt been active here at LTT in almost a year

[graceful burrow]

Well, was it fun?

[wind pulsar]

I saw what you first posted, you can't stop meh

[wind pulsar]

Yes omg omg so funni

[inland pendant]

yeah apex grind

even brought with me 20 cans of pepsi

[full fossil]

[inland pendant]

back when i was getting parts for my 2020 pc build was unusual

instead of paying with card as normal, I pulled out my fat wallet with bills in it

that's what my mum handed me instead..

[full fossil]

True gamer. Fuck water

[inland pendant]

and I still have that unusual graphics card from nvidia laying around as souvenir for some reason

[sonic spruce]

Is it possible to test a gpu that needs a 6/8pin connector without it to see if the gpu works?

[graceful burrow]

To truly test if the gpu works you'll need full power to it

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[wind pulsar]

TL;DR: Yes- and no

😏

[inland pendant]

why cant i post pics when u can

nitro booster i assume

[graceful burrow]

You have to be a booster, twitch sub or floatplane sub to post images here

[inland pendant]

used to until they changed it

[inland pendant]

This was the unusual card I was talking about

[leaden gale]

Four dies???

[inland pendant]

yes

maxwell architecture

the Nvidia Grid M40

[graceful burrow]

Ah a grid

Those cards are odd

[inland pendant]

4 Gb vram each

totaling of 16 gb

only thing i tested was firing up 4 vm and did some small gaming it ran 50-60 fps on gta V

a licence for proper grid setup nah

too expensive

[full fossil]

4 instances of gta on 1 card

[inland pendant]

1 card appears as 4 cards

[graceful burrow]

I've got a non-grid m40

[inland pendant]

the Tesla M40?

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[inland pendant]

will prob get one for fun lol

[graceful burrow]

They're cheap
Gotta get a cooling system tho
Thankfully it just uses a 980ti reference board so there are coolers for it

[full fossil]

tesla m40 is cool

[inland pendant]

and slap that into my Dell R720 rack

[full fossil]

I thought about buying one just for shits and giggles

[inland pendant]

prob endup for budget ML and hashcat for my study

[frozen sonnet]

can anyone help me over in #networking asking nicely pls and ty

[teal estuary]

an MI25 will dunk on an M40 for ML workloads, for a similar price

MI25 has +4GB of vram (130%), about +150GB/s (150%) of memory bandwidth, +5.5TFLOP FP32 (180%), +555GFLOP (350%) FP64, and has fp16 at all when compared to the M40,

[drowsy geyser]

Been 3 weeks since ordering ltt merch to UK, no emails and no package.

[meager marsh]

What gpu is future proofed?

[drowsy geyser]

4090 🤣🤣

[meager marsh]

budget gpu

[night heron]

there is no way to future proof pc hardware

buy the best gpu you can afford

[meager marsh]

a gpu that can can still run games til the next 5 years

[full fossil]

Depends on what games at what resolution

[frozen sonnet]

ive had a 1070 since it came out and it still performs 100-160 fps at 1080p high]

[full fossil]

The gt 710 is future proofed in the way that it will be able to play some games in 10 years

[meager marsh]

ok il get a 1070

but my gpu is shitt a i7 920

[red kettle]

I talked my sister into letting me build her a itx desktop instead of getting her a laptop, she doest have room for a traditional desktop setup though so she'll likely be using a TV as her monitor with wireless M&k would a 3060ti be better suited for this over a 6700xt since the 30 series has access to dlss 2.0 and everyone uses 4k TVs nowadays?

[drifting hinge]

Is there a long wait time for tech support I have a problem and no response yet just wondering

[graceful burrow]

the wait time is as long as it takes someone to reply, nobody is paid to help there

or anywhere here

[full fossil]

What Is your opinion on the Google ecosystem

I'm planning to move into it slowly when I have the money to

[gilded quest]

Google ecosystem is great when they aren't killing services left and right

[vapid smelt]

https://killedbygoogle.com/ only 275

[sonic barn]

Google surveys aren't dead

It was changed to forms

And forms will never die

[gilded quest]

I think it was an enterprise service, not the same as Google Drive Forms

https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-surveys-is-shutting-down/465287/

[sonic barn]

But when you look up stuff for it it only talks about google forms

[gilded quest]

you just suck at reading/searching don't you

[stoic beacon]

Worse than Microsoft, but easier to use across multiple platforms. The best choice for anybody who is using it in a personal settings as opposed to professional/enterprise

But like they said, don't keep anything you care a ton about in their systems, especially more fringe ones

I keep all notes/information in OneNote, Excel, and Access because I have no idea when Keep, Tasks, etc. will get nuked

[sonic barn]

Well tasks can be replaced by calendar

I switched to it and it's better for me on android as it creates an alert with an alarm

[stoic beacon]

They're the same program, Tasks is just an interface

But if you create stuff in Tasks and they remove tasks, since they're stored on Tasks instead of Calendar, the link will just be broken

[stuck stratus]

onedrive offers a much better desktop client so I just use that

google drive tries to pretend it's removable storage

does not work well

[eager notch]

Hello darkness my old friend

[stoic beacon]

We've actually ran into this at work. Various files just don't show up at all, and the only solution is to sign out, sign back in, and redownload everything

Google Drive is only good if you work in browser exclusively

[stoic beacon]

Hello!

Ngl MacBooks slap

Idk why they are shit on so much

The shitty company
The shitty operating system
The shitty keyboards
The shitty chargers
The shitty compatibility
The shitty pricing
The....it goes on for a while.

[barren galleon]

^^^

[barren galleon]

I use Google drive desktop and it works basically like that. i can edit my projects in vs code or whatever app i need to use

[exotic barn]

The keyboard feels nice ash I love the operation system

Windows feels shit to me idk why

[stoic beacon]

Probably because you value pretty over power...that's most Mac users

[exotic barn]

I have a m2 MacBook

It feels so fast

[dull granite]

i use Windows all the time

and yep it sucks

[stoic beacon]

There's your keyword

It "feels" so fast

[exotic barn]

It is fast actually

[dull granite]

@stoic beacon let people have nice things

[stoic beacon]

Only for programs specifically optimized for it

[night heron]

the m2 processor is fantastic if you dont need wide software support

[exotic barn]

It’s probably the fastest laptop on the market rn

[stoic beacon]

Only for programs specifically optimized for it

[exotic barn]

Which is most mac apps

[stoic beacon]

Which is less than 1% of software in existence.

[exotic barn]

All I use it for is like YouTube and discord that’s it

[gilded quest]

anything multithreaded will be stomped on by the M1 pro/max

[stoic beacon]

Oh, so you meant to buy a Chromebook

[exotic barn]

I don’t even game because it’s a time waster

I use the m2 MacBook for work purposes too

[stoic beacon]

That's what they're good for, assuming the software you need is actually available on a Mac

[dull granite]

if playing games (not online multiplayer only) is wasting time then reading books is also wasting time

[exotic barn]

It kinda is Ngl
