its not cool either

[unkempt widget]

i would be more impressed if a person had a 8tb sabrent rocket plus than an rtx 4090

[fluid ridge]

that shits an arm and a leg for something that will die in 4 years

get a NAS

[fathom drum]

Nasa computer

[unkempt widget]

for 8tb of storage? no

[heady flicker]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3482 or if you're that kind of person

[fluid ridge]

you're spending 1K+ for one m.2 SSD

you can easily get a NAS for that price

[unkempt widget]

(you could get one for cheaper but ok)

[jaunty compass]

Realistically the most viable general option I can give is probably a steam gift card since you don't want to give any more specific information

[unkempt widget]

like way cheaper

[fluid ridge]

the sabrent?

[full fossil]

a cpu key chain

[unkempt widget]

nas

[fathom drum]

With a 7900x

[fluid ridge]

yeah that's continuing to prove my point

[heady flicker]

that's probably the best option

[full fossil]

yez

[jaunty compass]

But $50 doesn't go as long a way as it used to on steam

So go on gamivo or something and buy them $50 worth of games there lol @fathom drum

[unkempt widget]

yes, but cool nvme storage

[full fossil]

it would be so cool

[unkempt widget]

and it looks cool

[heady flicker]

a good amount of people prefer getting cash instead of a gift

[unkempt widget]

a nas looks boring and you need to not have skill issues to set it up

[vapid smelt]

M.2 slots are valuable real estate

[unkempt widget]

also if you're buying them hardware, it'll be hard to ship it to them

[heady flicker]

that is true

[fluid ridge]

a nas is pretty easy to set up if you are somewhat technologically literate

[unkempt widget]

which is what i said, you need not have skill issues

[heady flicker]

I'm just imagining one of those pcie x16 to x4x4x4x4 m.2 adapters

[fluid ridge]

i had my raspberry pi as a teeny tiny nas until i swapped it out for jellyfin and adguard

[full fossil]

show off their cool 7900x

idk

[wraith thistle]

With some 10 terabyte HDD

[fluid ridge]

i just checked amazon and they're selling the 8tb sabrent for 1700 CAD

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah you could just get a 10 terabyte hdd but sure

[fluid ridge]

you can build a 400 petabyte nas with that type of money

[unkempt widget]

yeah ik

[vapid smelt]

in this server we only use real money

[fluid ridge]

this has to be racist /j

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/its-free-real-sate-gif-7215175

[unkempt widget]

it'll be 8723 danish krones

[full fossil]

buy public ips

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah you asked for real money right?

[heady flicker]

I swear every day the word racist loses more of its meaning

whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I have no clue

[unkempt widget]

well that's 6457.85 brazillian reals

[fluid ridge]

i was joking

[manic torrent]

Currency: Danish krone DKK. Denmark has negotiated an opt-out from the euro and thus is not obliged to introduce it.

[vapid smelt]

didn't know Canadians where a race

[unkempt widget]

brazil's currency is literally a real

[heady flicker]

this conversation makes me want to build a proper nas

[fluid ridge]

now you know

[unkempt widget]

yep

[heady flicker]

I want to feel one of those ironwolf pro drives in my hands

[manic torrent]

yes but it is pronounced ree-al.

[vapid smelt]

real money

[heady flicker]

imagine the heftyness of a 16tb drive

[unkempt widget]

we're on discord

[wraith thistle]

I made a prototype of YouTube on a raspberry pi

[unkempt widget]

sheesh that speed

[fluid ridge]

1200 is tough

[manic torrent]

whoa whoa slow down

[jaunty compass]

Time to play am2r

[fluid ridge]

raspberry pis are honestly pretty overrated

if you can get one for MSRP/a cheap price it's worth it

[wraith thistle]

They are, but they are fun

[fluid ridge]

but the computing power is actually non existent

[grim ether]

ali express

6 bucks canadian

less for off brand

[fluid ridge]

i dont expect much for a under 100 dollar computer but mine is basically incapable of transcoding videos without reaching the surface temperature of the sun

[fluid ridge]

wait what

[vapid smelt]

guess it is cheaper now to buy 2 4tb nvmes and card with the discount

[grim ether]

y no image perms

[manic torrent]

I mean, if you're using a pi to transcode, you're doing it wrong

[grim ether]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003970089918.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.5f83180209mK72

[vapid smelt]

y u no money

[unkempt widget]

it won't make sense for a raspberry pie to be more than 35 dollars, unless it's from a really good bakery

[full fossil]

wow it is 2:30

[fluid ridge]

some of my torrents just come in a codec/container that needs to be transcoded

[unkempt widget]

i saw an opportunity and i had to steal it

[vapid smelt]

wow your across the pond

[wraith thistle]

I prefer sata because it has adapters that I know of and easy installation

[unkempt widget]

they're messy

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/ouch-oww-that-hurt-that-hurts-linus-gif-25978472

[grim ether]

@fluid ridge $5.30 cad here for real, 3 and a half for not

[full fossil]

🦎

[fluid ridge]

yeah but thats the pico board

i have the actual pi 4b 4gb

[grim ether]

ah

i see

[graceful burrow]

Picos have never been expensive, it's just a microcontroller

[wraith thistle]

Also my first computer came out of the trash, literally

[unkempt widget]

you found it in a dumpster?

[manic torrent]

ok great... so a pi isn't good for your use case. a NAS is a NAS. transcoding isn't NAS work.

[wraith thistle]

Yes

[vapid smelt]

so you prefer slower storage for that

[graceful burrow]

A pi is a poor nas anyway

[manic torrent]

yeah

[wraith thistle]

Nvme SSDs have their advantage

[unkempt widget]

i prefer downloading more storage

[manic torrent]

I mean, I think the problem is you bought a solution and looked for a poroblem

[golden talon]

me with my money ngl

literally me

[full fossil]

here it is 80 bucks, kinda pricy but no one buy so yea

[unkempt widget]

if you downloaded a file that's -5gb, then you get 5gb extra on your drive

what the fuck that doesn't make sense

[graceful burrow]

No pi is worth 80 bucks simple as

[full fossil]

brazil

[graceful burrow]

Anywhere

[full fossil]

hmm

[wraith thistle]

It does when you take the idea theory into account

[pliant karma]

hullo coopa

[manic torrent]

@graceful burrow I fixed up the motor and made it work for my monitor riser... lolololol insufficent torque. I ordered a MUCH bigger stepper with a MUCH bigger driver (4A, high torque nema23), but in the meantime I am bodging up an RC motor geared down, that is stupidly powerful.

[graceful burrow]

I like it

[full fossil]

legit how fast would that be? 4fps?

[unkempt widget]

4 spf maybe

[wraith thistle]

60 fps for the way I configure it

[vapid smelt]

[graceful burrow]

I don't think the pi has a built in encoder so it'd be doing it all software

[manic torrent]

... this depends entire on what you're transcoding. The pi can decode some video in HW, and do some things, but again, you need to understand what problem you are solving for

[full fossil]

no way, that's like hardware encoder speed unless you're using Plex Direct Play or something

[manic torrent]

yeah only decoder

[unkempt widget]

why are ffxiv framerates so low

[graceful burrow]

Bad pc e,

[vapid smelt]

real question is why did they make so many games

[unkempt widget]

true

[wraith thistle]

The way I configure it works

[unkempt widget]

but ffxiv is 13 years ago

[graceful burrow]

Still haven't said how you configure it tho

[unkempt widget]

why does the 4080 get 150fps at 4k

[graceful burrow]

Or what you're transcoding

[unkempt widget]

and something like 3070 gets 72 fps

[full fossil]

so how are you doing this

[wraith thistle]

I am typing on a phone so if I try to explain it will snap in half

[jaunty compass]

Apparently forspoken is bad

[graceful burrow]

So you aren't transcoding anything
Got it

[jaunty compass]

It's $70
Feel bad for the people who bought it

[unkempt widget]

what a surprise

[graceful burrow]

You say that like the first trailer didn't confirm it

[wraith thistle]

I am using apache2

[jaunty compass]

Trailers can paint games in a bad light
I was hoping the gameplay would make up for the cringe dialogue

I watched a stream of someone playing it, it's literally just mashing mouse 1 mindlessly

The entire game

[full fossil]

that's not transcoding then, wouldn't that just send video to clients?

[unkempt widget]

is it really that hard to run ffxiv at 1080p and 1440p gamers nexus???

[wraith thistle]

It will play videos to anyone who knows how to access it

[full fossil]

ok, think i figured it out: you've got a webserver, serving up videos that were already at 60fps, and not reencoding the videos on the pi to transcode

[wraith thistle]

Most likely

[unkempt widget]

anyways i love how satisfying it feels like to have so many numbers next to each other

[vapid smelt]

weird fetish

[unkempt widget]

💀

[wraith thistle]

But I can still play videos on the website without downloading them

[unkempt widget]

which is why it sucks that there is no 1080p and 1440p benchmark for ffxiv

wow f1 2022 has like 6 cards on it

[manic torrent]

that's... not what transcoding is though

[wraith thistle]

Ok, I only code html to make the website

[unkempt widget]

holy shit the colors look so much better on my main screen than on discord

[clear creek]

LOL

[manic torrent]

This will sort out my problems. Just need to make some holes in some spare aluminium bar

Max Power: 2800W

[golden talon]

torque multiplication

[manic torrent]

it doesn't even need it, but it's way too fast.

[unkempt widget]

just make the stick thing longer

[full fossil]

any1 know a good, cheaper alternative to karbly from ikea

[unkempt widget]

fuck you gamers nexus does your 7900xt not run in strange brigade vulkan?

[dreamy rose]

what

dont cuss out Tech Jesus

[unkempt widget]

they sometimes leave cards out when benchmarking

according to them tomb raider got cpu limited at 1440p so they won't do 1080p
only the 4090 and 4080 got limited, the focal point of the video is the 4070ti

making this spreadsheet was a bad idea

[dreamy rose]

they have reasons to do things

[unkempt widget]

but sunking cost fallacy lesgoo

[unkempt widget]

it's the same video

and sometimes cards just don't make it on the graph

and come on just show 1440p and 1080p for the sake of it if you showed it earlier

[frigid berry]

Is is recommended to connect charger to my laptop, even when using hybrid mode(igpu+gpu) for better battery life?

[unkempt widget]

for fucks sake does a 6700xt not run strange brigade or smth?

[unkempt widget]

i think charging perpetually decreases battery life right?

[heady flicker]

it does

drawing power while also charging the battery degrades the battery much faster

I believe modern laptops have a function that allows you to draw directly from the wall though

or at least, partially

[manic torrent]

it's a drive shaft, why would it need to be longer

[unkempt widget]

it's a joke

sorry :(

you could make it longer so that there's more torque

even though that's not how it works

[full fossil]

It's easier to write with longer nails

[frigid berry]

Yea , but when i power my 2nd monitor with laptop, ithe GPU draws power directly from battery which is worse i think

[vapid smelt]

[unkempt widget]

my nails are long as shit rn

[vapid smelt]

sand them down

[full fossil]

Don't deny my experience mouse

[heady flicker]

you sure you don't want to clip them first?

[full fossil]

yo awoofy there's an OwO bot in a mall next to me

[heady flicker]

okay now where did I leave my bleach..

It's a trap

[unkempt widget]

it's a tall roomba that doesn't clean that hands out candy and has an OwO face

and it drives around

i've tried to make it crash into me but sadly it has a sensor

[unkempt widget]

you sand your nails?

i just use a nail clipper like everyone else

[unkempt widget]

that doesn't look like it's made for nails but ok

i'm cutting my nails @full fossil sorry

[vapid smelt]

cant believe your cheating on them

[unkempt widget]

ok i'm done

that was fast lmao

[full fossil]

Nooooooo

[unkempt widget]

they're getting really dirty because of dust collecting in them

[full fossil]

you play that

[pliant karma]

you got less cores to drive so this makes sense. My 5900x is like anemic to extent lol

you have them cores hehehe.

would multiplying average frames and 1% lows be a good way to determine how good a card is

I have had better vr compadability on Nvidia in my testing which is probably why I keep using them (response to @dreamy rose)

it's going to h264 idk lol I'm just compressing it as much as I can with my cpu. Using my gpu has made the file sizes worst apprently

4gb clip got reduced to 500mb so that is good enough

[rugged bridge]

really? dang

[rugged bridge]

yea thats like 75% compression

I can commit sin and screen capture using my cpu vs gpu

[heady flicker]

[balmy drum]

does anyone know any films that are shot in 4:3

[balmy drum]

sorry what I meant to say is,

[balmy drum]

there's this thing called "exclusives" and also communities

[timid meadow]

Tbf this was a hella vaugue question. Knowing of a movies existence vs recommending a 4:3 film

[vapid smelt]

he is from jordan and his budget was 600 JOD if i recall right

[heady flicker]

ah

[balmy drum]

mb

[heady flicker]

well that changes thing a lot

importing goods is super expensive

[balmy drum]

modern film is hard to watch nowadays for me

cuz it's all 21:9 usually

and my 4:3 screen displaying 21:9 looks mad goofy

[manic torrent]

4:3 is dead.

[balmy drum]

no it isn't

[manic torrent]

Yeah, it is.

[heady flicker]

it pretty much is

[manic torrent]

It is a niche size, and nobody cares

[balmy drum]

I put what 21:9 looks like in #off-topic

on my monitor ;-;

[manic torrent]

Yeah I believe you. But when you insist on using ancient tech, you get what you get.

[balmy drum]

it's not even ancient

[vapid smelt]

we have this new cool technology called oled

[manic torrent]

So how old is it

[balmy drum]

that's cool, too bad I can't afford that

[timid meadow]

From what im seeing theres 4:3 content from as late as 2019 but its rare

[vapid smelt]

its probably younger than you tbh 😛

[manic torrent]

Get more money

[manic torrent]

And we know I'm ancient!

[full fossil]

yes

[vapid smelt]

your at least 2 discord users old

[full fossil]

not quite yet, i'm sure there's some random csgo pro who uses 4:3 stretched still

[vapid smelt]

[balmy drum]

ps3 doesn't have such weaknesses

[full fossil]

That is pretty annoying to be honest.

[balmy drum]

also games with dedicated servers as well

[timid meadow]

If you like exclusives get ps. If you care about anything other then exclusives, get xbox

[dreamy rose]

Sony's Cashcow.

[balmy drum]

like fortnite doesn't require playstation plus on ps4 to play online

[balmy drum]

why not just get a pc at that point

[full fossil]

the ps5 and series x are the same console, different software. can't change my mind

[dreamy rose]

whos actually playing Fortnite anymore? that aint gaming.

[balmy drum]

everything that's on xbox is on pc

[manic torrent]

.... But you're still playing Fortnite, so you've already lost.

[timid meadow]

The REAL answer here

[balmy drum]

it's still in the top 10 most popular online games today

[dreamy rose]

Fortnite is a Daycare

[full fossil]

"that isn't gaming" it's a battle royale, it still counts

[balmy drum]

I never said I was playing fortnite, I said it's a game that doesn't require playstation plus

[manic torrent]

Gatekeeping gaming now, nice work

[balmy drum]

um are you contradicting yourself boomer

[timid meadow]

Id rather play Fortnite then cod. At least theres some gameplay there. Alot of cod is just hold w and dont miss

[balmy drum]

no one plays cod on mouse tho

[full fossil]

have you played warzone 2.0

[full fossil]

i do

[balmy drum]

oof

[dreamy rose]

dont play either and just play TF2. Source is old but still capable

[balmy drum]

aim assist is so broken in cod that it's a huge disadvantage to play without it

[vapid smelt]

if you bought PlayStation 4 in 2013 for $400 then bought the yearly pass for $60 till 2020 years when the ps5 was released you spent a total of $820

[full fossil]

Opinion on wz2.0?

[full fossil]

based

[timid meadow]

Its an expression. I play 95% of my pc games on controller but i still "hold w"

[manic torrent]

My contention is that playing Fortnite is terrible. I didn't say it wasn't gaming.

[full fossil]

i haven't played it enough to know honestly

[vapid smelt]

but why not kb and mouse

[dreamy rose]

lost coast had HDR in 2005

[timid meadow]

No because last i heard it was hack city

[manic torrent]

Because it's more fun to fire wildly into the air

[balmy drum]

cuz people can play how they want duh

[full fossil]

ok now that's just wrong: it's not

[timid meadow]

I play in a living room on a tv. No proper setup for mkb

I can when i need to for Minecraft or something

[full fossil]

not really, but just my opinion, it sucks

[balmy drum]

I literally dedicated my whole youtube to playing competitive pc games on a controller without aa

just so people can ask "why not use a mouse lol"

I think I've been asked that question at least 100 times

[dreamy rose]

Fuck controllers we play with MIDI keyboards

[balmy drum]

lol

[timid meadow]

I consider aa cheating personally. Either everyone gets it or its a cheat

[manic torrent]

[balmy drum]

thanks for the help bro

[dreamy rose]

shortcuts are Fn+ Up/Down for audio and Fn+Left/Right for brightness

[crude monolith]

yes ik, im saying how to enable that hotkey

[manic torrent]

... it's different on different laptops. You didn't say what laptop it was.

[manic torrent]

That's not what you asked. You asked to toggle it.

[crude monolith]

lmao alright im out

[dreamy rose]

mine for instance takes no setting up to do it. idk what kinda laptop you got that makes you Enable it yourself

[crude monolith]

yea by toggling, you enable or disable that

also i just found out u can also press fn+esc to lock or unlock it

i meant being awake for that long, not working lol

[fossil frost]

its just taken me 15 minutes of fiddling round, checking voltages, checking continuity, and making sure i didnt have a dud display... to realise why this ssd1306 1" oled's backlight wasnt coming on when i powered it on....

[manic torrent]

Using this contraption I cobbled together -

• it makes the monitors go up.
• it makes a lot of noise
• it's quite fast.
• it's hard to hold it
• as soon as the motor stops, the whole thing comes down again.

[manic torrent]

so what you're saying is, it's a day ending in y 😄

[fossil frost]

i literally said out loud, to myself "ITS A FUCKING OLED YOU IDIOT! it doesnt have a fucking backlight"

[unkempt widget]

bruh

[manic torrent]

so, in summary - I'm leaving it for now, and I will address it when my much more powerful stepper motor gets here.

[fossil frost]

to explain myself... im transitioning the project from using a ili-something-something-something LCD screen... to this mini oled screen... and i just wasnt thinking 😄

[manic torrent]

but - I'm pretty happy with my cobbled together garbage

[fossil frost]

motor seems excessive... also... you not considered some sort of worm drive as a backup safety system? if the gas springs do fail, its less likely to just drop with a worm gear

[manic torrent]

there are no gas springs. The entire thing is on a screw ball bearing drive.

[fossil frost]

ahh... thought you mentioned gas springs at some point... and yeah.. ball screw will prevent any speedy drops

if you let go it just goes.. vzzzzzzzzz

[hollow zealot]

Oh my god Bob for a second I thought you were using an edf for cooling

[manic torrent]

now THAT is an idea.

[hollow zealot]

You've got most of the hardware

Just get a brushless motor instead

[manic torrent]

uhhhh

that's a 2400W brushless motor.

[dreamy rose]

i'm waiting for the day they start saying shit like Bussin and Cap

[hollow zealot]

Oh whoop

[manic torrent]

but I have two EDFs on my rescue boat

[hollow zealot]

Sorry I'm used to smaller motors for planes xd

[manic torrent]

haha yeah this is a normal size for a 1/8 or YUGE for a 1/10

[unkempt widget]

wow i don't even want to talk about this

i'm too tired for arguing

[manic torrent]

of course, my actual 1/8 has a 4095 which does 3.8kw, it's absolutely ridiculous

[dreamy rose]

then sleep so i can tell you why A+B=/=C

[manic torrent]

running it on 8S and it's just too much power, and it breaks stuff and does ultra flips

[unkempt widget]

i mean obviously not

unless c is a+b

[hollow zealot]

I have one similar in a mini slash 4x4

[manic torrent]

I have 3 wltoys all with WAY bigger motors than make sense. actually... 4? yeah anyway, it's absolutely stupid, but lots of fun

[unkempt widget]

wow thank you gamers nexus for telling me that the 4070Ti is actually good value

[unkempt widget]

all these are from the video telling us why the 4070ti sucks

[full fossil]

I think everyone is in "hate nvidia" mode I don't know that the 7700xt is gonna be a good value, but I doubt that I'm going to be buying another GFX card anytime soon, my 6700XT is good enough for what I do with it. It has the grunt to play every game I want, and do it at nearly max settings. I can play the unoptimized piece of crap that is CoD at 160fps max settings

So the question is "is this gen worth it if you have last gen already" the answer is as always no.

if you are rocking a 5800x and a 1070ti it might be worth an upgrade but anything less than that level of upgrade and nothing out now is worthwhile

If you have an 8900k and a 1060ti then your best bet is to upgrade your mobo and CPU first

actually closer to that tier of build is probably 8500 intel

[unkempt widget]

why though, the 8900K isn't as outdated as the 1060ti

[dreamy rose]

there's two kinds of people. the ones jumping in the bandwagon and the ones who actually care and wont buy Nvidia.

[full fossil]

I corrected myself and said 8500 but it's probably 8400 I didn't have a pc that gen.

Yo @unkempt widget so 4070ti is better than 3090 ?

[unkempt widget]

wait

sure they might've lied about the 3x improvement

but yes, 4070 ti is better perf/price
still not very good for 4k though
this does include rt which favors nvidia a lot

[wanton glade]

Is it better for rendering and 3d ?

[unkempt widget]

idk, you'll have to look it up yourself

[rigid moon]

Bruh there still malware in my phone

[wanton glade]

Alr

[unkempt widget]

so far 4070ti = 3090 in terms of video games

[rigid moon]

Why did i downloaded it

[rigid moon]

I thought 3090ti?

[rigid moon]

Me stupid ass

[unkempt widget]

no, 3090ti beats it by a considerable margin (25%)

[wanton glade]

What did you dowload ?

🤨🤨🤨

[unkempt widget]

what i'm really surprised about is the difference between 3090 and 3090 ti

[wanton glade]

Is the gap big ?

[unkempt widget]

25%

[wanton glade]

frankly
right now if you need a gpu
you should be getting like
a used 6700 xt or something

[neon mesa]

if you only game that is

[jaunty compass]

people doing more than gaming are probably going to do more research than taking the advice of a random guy on discord

but yea

at least i hope they would

I'm just a random guy and idk what you're doing on your pc
so
do research ig

[full fossil]

do a list of things that you would do with the computer and search online or see some videos about it, that could help a lot if you are undecided

and with the bonus of learning a lot of things

[polar fern]

So I see now why the twitch role had its colour removed

It is because they are now promoting floatplane

[neon mesa]

always ask what they do on their pc before recommending a card

[polar fern]

Sorry, but I cannot actually afford a floatplane subscription and I’m not even sure I could pay for it even if I could afford it because of the way my disability income works. 🤷‍♂️

it looks like a cool platform for video content, but just not an option unfortunately.

[neon mesa]

in general
if they only game, AMD RDNA2 cards are fine
need Ray Tracing? nvidia or intel arc or RDNA 3 minimal
need to do video editing/vfx? don't touch AMD cause CUDA Intel arc is fine because QuickSync
blender? same cuz optiX. for intel arc, idk how they do in blender yet

[neon mesa]

how did pentium name went from one of the fastest desktop processors to glorified potato

[polar fern]

Too much dancing in the bunny suit

Well, wait a minute

Seems there’s some similarities here

Sus

The issue with Pentium is that the pipeline was too long

The other issue with Pentium is its single threaded, and the thermal efficiency was garbage

That is unless, you wanted to get the D

Definitely not the most suggestive product name of all time

[dusty rune]

pentium D inside

[polar fern]

But these were still technically single threaded, even though they had two cores

[rustic beacon]

is it a big CPU?

[neon mesa]

i'm talking about the brand name

it used to be intel's front line processors

now the name is used for the potatoes

[polar fern]

Yes, it is a large package

Wow, that sounds even more suggestive

It’s about the same size as an 8th gen Intel core i5

With like 4% of the compute power

They do actually still sell Pentiums, but typically it’s for ultra low power applications

Some of them are actually 10 watts tdp

The quark processors even less power like 2 watts

One of the main drivers for Pentium to be continued is industrial applications where the software cannot be readily, updated such as in heavy manufacturing & large equipment which needs remote monitoring

[polar steeple]

I don't think pentium was ever the brand name for the tip of the stack processors

[polar fern]

there were definitely enterprise grade processors with better thermal and power characteristics than the consumer grade Pentiums

[empty iris]

Pretty sure philemon didn’t mean this in the way I am thinking of lol

[polar fern]

Well, it is a Pentium D, after all

[empty iris]

Because at the time it came out you (the consumer) were probably a dumba## compared to what it was capable of, hence the D

[honest cloak]

PEE

[neon mesa]

looking through facebook and see this monstrosity

Small ass case, intel stock, paired with a 3.5 slot GPU

with barely any cooling

1000w PSU for no reason?

[twin raptor]

Tricked u its a 1w psu

[summer orchid]

campfire

[tired olive]

is that another card below it?

video capture?

[gusty dawn]

I mean if your doing FP16 or fp64 AMD is better than Nvidia for compute

[arctic raft]

Which cpu does it have ?

[full fossil]

pentium D

[neon mesa]

Literally support bracket

[neon mesa]

Not even my picture so how would i know

[neon mesa]

And tell me what uses them that doesn't leverage cuda better
The only one i know that works on amd best is topaz

[gusty dawn]

Topaz uses fp16

I know matlab uses fp64

[neon mesa]

Which i just mentioned..

Most other workloads leverages cuda much better

When it involves machine learning/upscaling

[gusty dawn]

AMD is fine, but it sucks on windows due to the lack of rocm

[neon mesa]

There are a reason most uses nvidia for these type of workload
Even ROCm still got beaten to the punch by cuda

And not many are willing to use linux

[gusty dawn]

That's my point

[full fossil]

first one i liked better xD

[neon mesa]

Is it really worth the price discount of amd if you need to sacrifice so many things at this point?

[tired olive]

tbf anything thats 65 watt and below can use a stock cooler

[gusty dawn]

AMD's compute focus is clearly on cdna now

[neon mesa]

It's like so many handicaps

[jaunty compass]

what gpu is it, because they might have a reason if it's a newer card-

[neon mesa]

It's a 4080

And come on even 4090 don't need 1000w PSU most of the time

Unless it's paired with high watt everything like 13900ks

[jaunty compass]

what bozo buys a 4080 tbh

[neon mesa]

Without mining to overinflate price they'll drop soon enough
I expect 2024 to be another good time

[jaunty compass]

nvidia inflated the price themselves this time, and demand is super low right now lol

nobody wants the new gpus

[neon mesa]

So what if they inflate?
Nvidia also did at 3000 series
Except now they don't have miners to support that inflated prices

[jaunty compass]

they inflated the msrp this time
$800 for a "4070 ti"

[neon mesa]

Doesn't matter

[gilded quest]

Is nvidia still manufacturing all 30-series gpus?

[neon mesa]

They don't have any base for it

[arctic raft]

Its not that i guess it has 4080/4090 in it will probably bottleneck it a lot and its old gen intel stock cooler to so probably an older cpu too.

[neon mesa]

They're still manufacturing 3000 series

[jaunty compass]

I hope they take a loss on ada lovelace tbh

amd's pricing is a little better but it's still pretty damn high

[gilded quest]

AMD isn't exactly giving me hope

the multi die stuff is cool; but the performance with RX 7000 has been underwhelming. Maybe it was over hyped too much. Maybe the pricing is souring the performance

[neon mesa]

I have hopes for arc

Their drivers are improving at a rapid pace

[gilded quest]

are we gonna see battlemage in 2023

or is it a 2 year cycle

[full fossil]

Methinks

[neon mesa]

I might upgrade my 3060 to a C770 or B770 depending on release dates of 2024

[gilded quest]

hmmm

[jaunty compass]

i'd definitely buy a battlemage card as long as they have support for what i plan to do

[gilded quest]

I can probably survive on the 1080ti till 2024...

[full fossil]

Same lol, and the performance was good enough

[quick blade]

1080ti is very decent

[jaunty compass]

as long as the pricing is good..

[indigo mountain]

will amd anti lag have any effect if i have 5% gpu usage

[gilded quest]

lackluster in DX12 tho

[neon mesa]

If you think about it not many games actually leveraged the high performance of new graphics card that much
Remember 1080ti used to be a 4k card
Our standard for "playable FPS" simply got up

[gilded quest]

thats true

I bought my 1080ti when I had 1080p60 displays

now on 1440p165

[jaunty compass]

everyone out here telling me the 6600 xt isn't good enough for 1440p

it plays new games at okay settings at 1440p 60

without FSR or whatever

[gilded quest]

Although my CPU upgrade absolutely breathed some new life into the 1080ti

[neon mesa]

Most prefer higher settings than resolution

[gilded quest]

180fps in Valorant -> 400 fps

[quick blade]

basically you can spent a little more money for something much better

[neon mesa]

And i personally also prefers settings than resolution

[sage flume]

how can u get in contact with ltt staff

[quick blade]

i suggest waiting for 4060 series

[gilded quest]

lol 40 series

[sage flume]

its prolly gonna be weaker than 3090 ti lmfao

[jaunty compass]

🤡
