I lose no functionality and save money because I already have prime

[jaunty compass]

I repaired my old gpd xd plus the other night

[graceful burrow]

Ew gpd

[jaunty compass]

What?

[graceful burrow]

Gross company

I don't like companies that try to put horrible misinformation pieces about other companies

[jaunty compass]

I got this thing when I was in high school back when they had just released the win 2

[graceful burrow]

I'm saying this in the moment not when you were in hs

Ew gpd now

[jaunty compass]

What did they even say, I didn't hear anything about that?

I just know that the xd2 looks stupid and is a bad purchase when the steam deck exists as well as other cheaper handhelds

And that the win 4 is impractical for most people due to competing handhelds

[graceful burrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/som87v/gpd_steam_deck_is_worse_than_win_3_it_is_a_closed

It reads like an unhinged manifesto

[gilded plinth]

Besides, if you want to play pirated games, you still have to go back to Windows.

[graceful burrow]

It's littered with inaccuracies and lies

It's a hit piece

Thankfully it only gained traction as something to laugh at

[jaunty compass]

damn
this is literally just garbage journalism lol

and besides you also don't need to use windows for that

[idle nymph]

What did we do yo deserve this😨

[jaunty compass]

i'm reading the thing and 💀
they really tried to be like
"rdna2 is nothing we swear intel's igpus are enough "

this entire post from GPD is cope except for like one thing

[wind pulsar]

Hell yeah, Discord added different window backgrounds, now it is even harder to differentiate people who have 3rd party clients

[idle nymph]

Btw, whats the blue Name?

[jaunty compass]

floatplane sub

[vapid smelt]

chad people

[jaunty compass]

it's almost like they want to discourage the use of 3rd party clients so they add features to their official one

[idle nymph]

No but how do you get it

[jaunty compass]

I just told you, sub to floatplane

[wind pulsar]

It's almost like they just yoink the ideas off of 3rd party clients because they're really good ideas

[vapid smelt]

💳

[jaunty compass]

I mean, yeah that's how these things work

[idle nymph]

And whats floatplane?

[vapid smelt]

fake ltt fan smh

[jaunty compass]

video platform owned by LMG

you have to pay for it but it's ad free and has behind the scenes LTT content and stuff from the individual LMG staff and other things

it also has a bunch of other creators on it

like craft computing and shankmods and hardware unboxed

[wind pulsar]

The video bitrate is higher, the audio quality is better, the streaming's faster (if you say 'BuT yOu CaN't StReAm ThErE' you have no idea what you're argumenting against)

[jaunty compass]

idk why you felt the need to say that last part but okay?

[idle nymph]

Im here cause there is good advice, i dont give a shit about Plattform

[twin orbit]

I feel like I’m going crazy what’s the Nvidia application that lets you update drivers and such

[wind pulsar]

You know exactly why

[jaunty compass]

geforce experience

[elfin jetty]

Gforce experience

[twin orbit]

OMG TY

[wind pulsar]

GeForce Experience

[elfin jetty]

Is it geforce? I thought it was gforce

[jaunty compass]

it's geforce

[elfin jetty]

Huh

[jaunty compass]

from nvidia's website for an example

[twin orbit]

Ok dumb question actually, does RTX or TI stand for anything? Or just dumb tech jargon

[jaunty compass]

they do stand for things, yes

[idle nymph]

They do

[jaunty compass]

RTX means Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme
TI stands for titanium, as in titanium edition

[twin orbit]

Ah, would have never guessed that

[jaunty compass]

GTX stands for Giga Texel Shader eXtreme

they're really just marketing terms though

[twin orbit]

I think I upgraded from GTX to Rtx only a couple months ago lol

[winged ferry]

how would i make a linux virtual machine in widows?

[grave mesa]

[graceful burrow]

Hyper-v
VMware
VirtualBox
Qemu
Wsl2

[winged ferry]

is that like a list of steps?

orrrr

like different software?

[stray apex]

that's a list of things that will run a linux vm on windows

[winged ferry]

ah ok

which one is best for beginners?

[graceful burrow]

Depends on how into it you are willing to get
I used to use VirtualBox because it's easier but also slower
Nowadays I just spool up a vm on my nas (which uses Qemu)

I've also used VMware but it's paid

[winged ferry]

rn all i wanna do is just try out linux and gain some extra experience sine this is my first time using a vm

[graceful burrow]

As long as you're aware it'll probably be way smoother running Linux standalone rather than a vm, VirtualBox is the easiest, and free

[winged ferry]

ok cool

im just doing it now in a vm so i can try linux for the first time

its not gonna be my main system or anything like that

just wanna play around with it and see how different it is

[graceful burrow]

Very
Keep an open mind, embrace unfamiliarity, and it's quite enjoyable

[winged ferry]

what is a good arch or whatever its called

ive heard unix is good for starters

[graceful burrow]

Ubuntu is good for beginners
Arch is more involved and not recommended for beginners

[winged ferry]

oh wait yea ubuntu

idk why i said unix

ubuntu is what i was thinking of

[modest leaf]

Ubuntu mire like boobuntu amirite. Good Fer nuthin

Ubuntu more like ewbuntu

Amiwrong???

[crimson dawn]

Guys quick question, is it a bad idea to use a tire inflator to dust оff pc parts?

[vapid smelt]

no

[crimson dawn]

It doesn’t contain any chemicals or anything right? I just assume it’s like a small blower or something that exerts air

[vapid smelt]

wait is it in a can?

[crimson dawn]

No

[vapid smelt]

then your fine

[crimson dawn]

Thx

[vapid smelt]

get the rx 6700xt

[unkempt widget]

of course it has chemicals

everything has chemicals

[spare sky]

Odd question but is their away to turn amazon wallet into steam wallet money

Its a odd amount lkke 4.60

[velvet marsh]

No

[manic torrent]

what LEDs.

[manic torrent]

chemicals are EVERYWHERE MAN

[manic torrent]

a battery powered tyre inflator will not generally work, as they are not high flow. A compressor will work though.

[sand tiger]

even worse. it's made of chemicals

[floral hawk]

water is a chemical

[vapid smelt]

so is your mom

[winged ferry]

fr

[winged ferry]

bro just stream it

why would you buy that in 2023

[vapid smelt]

👴

[polar fern]

anyway, the one I have now needs a component to coaxial adapter & it has an irritating hum & the audio is generally shit so

[vapid smelt]

your local thrift store probably has one for $3-12

[polar fern]

👀

This happens legit all the time.

[jaunty compass]

For $100 that might be reasonable if you already have a board it works with

[vapid smelt]

i would get a $75 gtx 1050ti over upgrading the r5 3400g

[polar fern]

I’m buying it next month. 🤷‍♂️

Igpu isn’t great butttt 6/12 core/thread

[young root]

has anyone played dungeon defenders awakended

the ryzen 5 4500 was like 70$, a gt 710 is like 10$

you could build a ryzen 5 4500 system for like 250$ with a 1050 ti or rx 580

damn i might sell some of those

[elfin jetty]

Kek

[polar fern]

It’s a pretty compelling upgrade

https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_5_4600g-vs-amd_ryzen_5_3400g

[dusty valve]

A lot of dvd players die fast

Like stop working

[tepid bolt]

A ryzen 3600 with a used gtx 1050 would be better

[dusty valve]

In my personal experience

[polar fern]

The one I have now is from 2005 so

@tepid bolt won’t work

SFF.

[tepid bolt]

There's sff 1050 tho

[polar fern]

It’ll be worse than the igpu 🤣

[tepid bolt]

The gpu is like a gt 1030

[graceful burrow]

There's also sff 1650's but don't tell him that he has me blocked lmao

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[polar fern]

The psu is 210 watts it’s not gonna power anything like that

[vapid smelt]

75watts pulls from the mbo no connectors needed

[polar fern]

Also it’s a 12x slot not 16x

[graceful burrow]

Saw the back off

Ezmod

[polar fern]

Anyways.

[graceful burrow]

Is transit upgrading that geriatric system finally

[runic lagoon]

Low rider

[polar fern]

If this upgrade works, it’ll buy me time before a total system replacement

[raw solstice]

wow 2 cents off the processor, thats a bargain

[young root]

there's a fucking lo profile 6400 lol

[polar fern]

Ye wild sale

[raw solstice]

bruh i still gotta buy the rest of the parts for my other pc to give it away

Some one wants a greeny

[young root]

[graceful burrow]

Bold to even ask

[young root]

did you know aldontist is 95% cheese and 5% eggs

[graceful burrow]

Probably true

[vapid smelt]

[polar fern]

Bro it’s a business computer not some bling rig

[young root]

coopatroopa is 99.9% eggs and .1% penguin

[vapid smelt]

no excuse not to use standard mbo sizing and power connectors

[young root]

he's got a point

[polar fern]

Whatever.

[graceful burrow]

Proprietary?
P U

[young root]

every dell i've used that has proprietary parts has been trash

it's only dells and hp

[graceful burrow]

Trues

Lenovo does it too

[young root]

or wait also lenovo, acer

[graceful burrow]

True acer

[young root]

fuck prebuilt computers

me and my homies hate prebuilts

[graceful burrow]

Spittin

[young root]

prebuilt gaming computers are EXTREMELY slightly acceptable as long as it isn't from hp or dell and workstations are good prebuilts

the rest is trash meant to be thrown away after 3 years

the ibuypower liquid cooler is so bad that people post videos on reddit of it failing like 4 times a day, the fans hit the case and the lights hardly work

man every interaction i've had with you has been extremely pathetic

go asking people for free nitro and they'll be far more kind lmao

[raw solstice]

[graceful burrow]

Begging is against server rules

[vapid smelt]

i just want a free house

[graceful burrow]

It's cringe that he'd try to circumvent those rules by moving to dms

anyway

[young root]

i want someone to finish my engine swap for free

[graceful burrow]

I just want someone to insure my car for free

[young root]

[graceful burrow]

Gotta find one for sale have you seen the car market?

[polar fern]

Oh my

[young root]

super cheap cars don't exist anymore

[acoustic stratus]

this is true. I picked up a 94 chevy blazer for 600 bucks

[young root]

it's hard to find a car that's below 2,000 that's genuinely in good condition lol

[acoustic stratus]

its the gas price that kills. old cars guzzle

[young root]

my car gets 26 mpg ;))

[vapid smelt]

I hate the Midwest

i'm a mechanic and diy tuner so i just mod my own cars

[graceful burrow]

Can you mod my cassette stereo to function

[young root]

my truck is getting the engine from a ram 1500 and my car is getting 20 pounds of boost

i can put in a different radio

[graceful burrow]

For free

[young root]

no

[graceful burrow]

Because I'm poor and that means it's okay to beg in servers that it's against the rules to beg in, according to transit

[polar fern]

Old cars are often lighter & use smaller engines

[young root]

and are worse

far far worse

[acoustic stratus]

idk. New cars got foam and shit now lol

the blazer was like a tank. just fucking metal slabs. no airbags lol

[tepid bolt]

Meanwhile 1950s Chevy gateway

Newer cars are also harder to work on

[polar fern]

Ew

[proud stump]

same

[young root]

i'm the guy people get pissed at

[vapid smelt]

but trucks and suvs have a loop hole that lets them be taller then regulated so if someone gets hit they are more likely to get pull under the trucks vs falling on the hood

[young root]

i'm really good at not getting pulled over

[proud stump]

gang wanna see my project motor

[young root]

yes

[proud stump]

il dm u

[polar fern]

Most pickup truck & large SUV drivers are statistically jerks too, which I find both depressing & hilarious

being in a big vehicle let's you do what you want

[vapid smelt]

i want more small hot hatch backs in the USA

[young root]

i'm much more likely to be let over in my truck than my car

Bring back the civic del sol & make it an EV

[proud stump]

i find most cycelists corny and annoying hipsters

[young root]

you have to be a fucking idiot to drive over children

if a child goes under my truck they'll not even touch the frame lol

[stray apex]

Have the children considered not teleporting in front of moving cars

[young root]

my car on the other hand, it's immediate serious bodily injury

[vapid smelt]

500 kids a year this happens too

[young root]

ok?

500 kids being stupid means all truck should be banned

[stray apex]

That sounds high

[vapid smelt]

parents running over their kids in the driveway

[proud stump]

i was toght not to play in the road as a kid

[young root]

that's bad parenting

that's not at all related to the vehicle

[stray apex]

Yeah, I bet that they're probably backing up

[young root]

too damn bad

[proud stump]

its natural selection

be a idiot and stand behind the backing up car concrats you get a darwin award

[young root]

if a child gets hit my a modern car with the integrated bumper splitter they'll easily get extreme injury to their legs

[proud stump]

anyone know how to use scratch? i need help

[jaunty compass]

I'm struggling porting someone elses game due to unity jank

[vapid smelt]

[jaunty compass]

Unrelated but I'm considering using the old SSD from deck as a boot drive in a spare system

[vapid smelt]

no rgb heatsink?

[jaunty compass]

it's the ssd from the deck
the 64 gb emmc one

the potato

[vapid smelt]

did you reuse the sleeve for it

[jaunty compass]

yeah, you're supposed to

[vapid smelt]

i almost didnt

[brave lodge]

My friend talking bout “my pc is goaded” bruh you run 60 fps on max graphics fortnite

[small zephyr]

🤔 dang 4 sticks of rgb ram just looks the best

[brave lodge]

Does each ram compartment have 4 slots

@small zephyr and like instead of buying 2x32 should I just do 4x16

I haven’t bought my ram and I’ve been considering

[small zephyr]

welp i brought 4x8gb sticks

[brave lodge]

Why not 2x16

[small zephyr]

since it looks kinda stupid in my opinion

[vapid smelt]

2x32 is better

[brave lodge]

What if I do 4x32

[brave lodge]

How so

[small zephyr]

but performance wise 2x16 would be better

[gilded quest]

32x2 is betterer

[brave lodge]

[jaunty compass]

I was going to say quad channel but okay

no quad channel memory

[small zephyr]

but i only have an 6650xt so that doesnt make much of an difference for gaming on me anyways so i went with the option that looked better

[vapid smelt]

the memory controller would get overwhelmed when all sticks are used, if you used fast ram

[brave lodge]

Ima use ddr5

2x32

[vapid smelt]

just use a pc with a solid steel side panel

[small zephyr]

nah they look bad

an pc needs to be sexy

[jaunty compass]

[small zephyr]

Guys which is better lighroom classic or the normal lightroom?

[vapid smelt]

i like darkroom

[manic torrent]

awwww yeah. Just ordered a fibre upgrade, with 400/50, but I can also change it to 1000/50 or a bunch of other choices and pay per-day

[vapid smelt]

why did all the shitty isp pick 50 upload

[manic torrent]

the speeds are mostly set by the NBN 😦

[gilded quest]

Comcast limits me to 20

[vapid smelt]

why are you paying the devil for internet?

[gilded quest]

I have no choice

They have a monopoly

[gilded quest]

CenturyLink maxes out at like 40/7
And the rest of my options are satellite

So Xfinity it is

[manic torrent]

for $12/day I can go 1000/400

[vapid smelt]

i only have options from 20ish companies/options from 250 Mbps to 10 Gbps

[gilded quest]

I dislike them showing prices per day. Not sure why I do, but I do.

[manic torrent]

yes, but they ACTUALLY charge per day. You can literally change your plan for a single day in the control panel.

[gilded quest]

Hmmmmmm

[manic torrent]

which also means.... if you go away, you can turn it right down

[vapid smelt]

fuck that

[gilded quest]

1000/50/600 seems to be the best bet

Yeah that's cringe

[vapid smelt]

if i paid $12 per day i want the full 1000

[manic torrent]

the "typical evening speeds" are more or less garbage anyway

it depends entirely on where you are, etc etc

[gilded quest]

So you could have low speeds days your not home or something. High download days that you're just consuming data. And you can upgrade to high upload for days you might need a share a ton of Linux ISOs

[manic torrent]

yep

[manic torrent]

oh dude, obviously shit isn't going to compete with US prices in cities

[gilded quest]

What's aud to usd

[vapid smelt]

even places in cali have shit internet

[gilded quest]

Like 1.4?

[gilded quest]

Ewww

[vapid smelt]

it might get closer if more US banks go under...

[gilded quest]

Bob's pricing is pretty in line with mine for some of those plans

[vapid smelt]

it cant be that hard to run fiber along the east coast right?

[manic torrent]

yeah, but that's just what it costs.

I can't speak for anyone else, but they make that back in a month with most buisnesses. 🤣

[minor rivet]

whats the best virus detector?

free*

[runic lagoon]

it's like you need to regulate them, because other wise they do stupid because greed.

[manic torrent]

the more popups and ads on the page where you download it from, the better.

even better if it comes with a registry cleaner, and other such nonsense

[runic lagoon]

If you need to clean a PC. i'd start with Malware Bytes, and then crowdstrike.

[wispy marsh]

And then ||TronScript||

[runic lagoon]

MS is killing it right now, but CS is probably the best AV with AMP, extra. Like it will tell you everything about something. And it even detects command line stuff. MB is probably the best for getting rid of all that adware, popup crap.

[minor rivet]

Is google snapseed available for pc?

theres this guy saying its there for windows

[teal estuary]

fucking crowdstrike

im sure it works, but im not a fan of it

[runic lagoon]

it's like the most popular option in the corp space right now.

[teal estuary]

im, aware

[runic lagoon]

lots of small companies use TendMicro because it's cheaper, and they'll set it up for you, baby sit it, extra.

[wispy marsh]

-40°F == -40°C
Therefore , °C == °F

||||

[runic lagoon]

and lots of companies now have to have a NOC. and CS supports that outsourcing.

[teal estuary]

NOC?

[runic lagoon]

what do you not like about it?

[teal estuary]

its existence on a computer i use

[runic lagoon]

an outside security supvervisor. Like a company that specilises in security, is manned, monitored 24/7, and will step in to respond to any threats in real time.

[teal estuary]

oic

[manic torrent]

not really outside. but eh

but yes, most major business would have a NOC

[teal estuary]

and no, i cant remove it, because if you guessed corpo computer, you would be correct

[runic lagoon]

most companies can't afford to have their own NOC. ANd even if they do, they ushally still want an outside NOC, because liablity, insurance.

[runic lagoon]

it would probable self distruct if you did. 🤣

[teal estuary]

no, it would just re-install it

[manic torrent]

eh, I've only worked for companies big enough to have one or small enough not to 🙂

[runic lagoon]

self healing 👍🏻 like alot of place do that, and also do, the device will only talk to like a few servers till it's re-installed.

[runic lagoon]

insurance companies keep raising the bar.

[manic torrent]

yeah that's true, gotta meet the requirements to keep your cyber insurance

[runic lagoon]

and then they'll ushally connect it to knowbe4. And you get fake pishing weekly with red flags, and if you try to use the computer for non work stuff. It will tell you how doing so can indager the company. If you fall for fake phishing, training. If you fall for flash drives, training. If you fall for the text messages, training. 🤣

[runic lagoon]

some of them are now building connectors to everything. SO like bad settings, higher rates. Bad stats, higher rates. Something happens, they know right away.

I wanted to ask for your help please.

It's for my class, complementary studies, 3rd year engineering (undergrad). I have a project where my group has to write a paper, wherein we have to interview an engineer. My interviewee has still not gotten back to me yet, and we still need to write a whole paper. And it's due Monday. Could I possibly please interview someone here instead?

This was our group topic: how engineers can play a role in developing more inclusive towns and cities in South Africa.

What we now need to do is to utilize the insights of a professional in a relevant field in order to gauge the feasibility of the team’s solution to the issue of inclusivity in south Africa, and to explore the issue as applied to your field of expertise.

It's 7 questions, and the answers do not have to be long.

I will personal message you the questions and all the relevant info.

Please let me know if you are a professional engineer or someone in the energy sector, or if you know of someone who is, and would like to help us by being our interviewee.

[soft trellis]

I'm at the football

We're losing badly

I work in IT, but I do work for energy companies. I'm mainly an engineer by hobby 🙂 happy to help if it suits

It's 21 to 36

[young root]

man life hit like a rock all of a sudden, im gonna return my 7900xtx just so i can afford parts for my truck

this blows

[soft trellis]

Oof

[young root]

i have a 6700xt laying on my desk so it'll be fine

[wary summit]

Yk, it's nice to meet another AMD fan

[young root]

amd ftw

[dreamy rose]

not a real fan if he selling it tho

[young root]

once we get moved out and shit i'll buy the 7950xtx or whatever it's called

returning not selling

[dreamy rose]

120ish CU, 1600 Dollar 600W sucking down GPU you ask for?

[young root]

yes

[cerulean saffron]

Does any variant of ROG Flow x16 have RTX 3070Ti in it? models in comparison on ASUS website show 3060 only

[dreamy rose]

why not just buy the A16 Advantage edition?

[long briar]

because Asus TUF is a bit of a joke

[long briar]

yes, American markets only iirc

[dreamy rose]

not the A16.

Genuine great laptop

[long briar]

even A16

It's not a bad laptop by any means

but despite being marketed as TUF it's not actually built as tough as sth like Zephy or Flow series

that said they're usually cheaper too so

[dreamy rose]

thats what you want.

rn its 500 AUD Cheaper than A 3070 A15 with the 6800H (Same CPU)

[grand canopy]

ye but watermelon is much more cheaper

[long briar]

you're built like a watermelon

what's that got to do with the convo lol

[dreamy rose]

you know whats cheaper?

[long briar]

not neccesarily

[grand canopy]

smaller watermelon

[long briar]

Flow has touch, and is basically a premium office laptop

whereas TUF is very aligned towards gamers with an outlet beside em

[dreamy rose]

you want a lower price.

[long briar]

not at the cost of the main feature of the laptop I am looking at

Say, you want a powerful convertible laptop, if there's a non convertible for cheaper and more performance, then the decision between them is literally why did you consider a convertible in the first place

[dreamy rose]

would be nice if more AMD Advantage laptops existed.

[long briar]

Like you want something with pen support and can game, that's pretty rare

[dreamy rose]

cheaper than nvidia by a long way

[long briar]

yes something like Legion 5 will outperform it at a lower price

but you give up the touchscreen and pen which is the exact reason the flow exists in the first place

[dreamy rose]

but a 2 in 1 that can game can fold over and get better cooling

[cold finch]

get a pc then my friend

[errant valve]

Guys I need help, do you guys have any suggestions for a laptop without gpu? Cpu i7 13700k? Just want something with a nice screen, and I’ll plug in a 4090 egpu

[cold finch]

with a touch screen display

[errant valve]

Ik the situation is kinda jank, but I just randomly got accepted into school, and I need help picking out a laptop

ik there’ll be performance loss

[dreamy rose]

7730U Vivobook. hasnt got the iGPU you want but its Zen 3 and will be fine enough i guess

they are basically rebranded 5000 series chips anyway

[errant valve]

I’ll look that up thanks dude

[cold finch]

asus vivobook 14 oled is nice but with 90 hz display. that oled wold be amazing though

[wary summit]

yes, it was my 1st choice for a school laptop

but then i got the G14 for school

[primal cairn]

Why does my friend say that Zotac's stuff break often

[dreamy rose]

if it had the 35 varients it would be perfect

[nova nimbus]

' test

wow backslash is cool

anyway, hello guys

I'm going to build my own diy router soon, just have to get parts

[dreamy rose]

using a full on PC or a tablet?

[nova nimbus]

(if they wont cost a total of €500+)

[nova nimbus]

wdym?

[dreamy rose]

routers are normally so underpowered a tablet could probably do better

[nova nimbus]

I'd rather get a full on PC, and replace some parts in it instead, only if it doesn't cost over €500.

but if a tablet is more cost-effective; fine.

[dreamy rose]

so going for an OptiPlex?

[nova nimbus]

sure

[dreamy rose]

or a full build. might be able to go well that way

[frail steeple]

don't leak my prototype

[drowsy echo]

Anyone experienced geforce mx570 a? Is it a good laptop dgpu?

[dreamy rose]

dont bother with MX.

[drowsy echo]

It's just that I already have a laptop with this gpu, I've not bothered to install any games yet but want to get info on it, optimal settings, how capable it is, and if it runs well in 1080p

[dreamy rose]

don't expect good gaming on an MX card,

MX is the worst of the worst. an iGPU on its own die

[manic torrent]

worse than an intel igpu 😄

[drowsy echo]

Really?

wow

[unkempt widget]

wow

what a waste of sand

[dusty rune]

not really a waste..

[dreamy rose]

wouldnt say the 570 is. equal to the 680m pretty much

[dreamy rose]

it is.

[unkempt widget]

laptop cpus all have their igpus

[dusty rune]

most gpus with old mx gpus have old cpus with weaker igpus

[unkempt widget]

well at least all that i know

[dusty rune]

had like a 5th gen i3 laptop, minecraft ran like trash on igpu, then ran at 200fps with the dgpu

[dreamy rose]

doesnt matter when a better CPU with better graphics can b had with the same price

[manic torrent]

yeah more - it's a valid comparison.

[manic torrent]

yeah, this is also about like ram speed and cooling, power budget, etc.

[dreamy rose]

when you see it as an iGPU. its good performance. but as a card? complete crap

[manic torrent]

that is the most based take I have ever seen you have.

[drowsy echo]

The laptop has an intel i5 1235u so its recent. I don't play heavy games, as long as it runs minecraft on a decent shader in 60 or even 75hz im happy with it. The laptop was provided by my school. I had an older laptop with i5 7200u igpu and it could barely run anything

[dreamy rose]

i have an i5 2450M with a GT 540M. 1GB of DDR3 VRAM

purchased 80 AUD form the school like 4 years ago. have not had a fun time with either of the now decade old components

[drowsy echo]

It's an older mobo z370 hd3

?

[primal cairn]

They are waaay cheaper than asus and MSI

[wind pulsar]

Sure

[dreamy rose]

they are Australian, need to be under 1500 AUD

[wind pulsar]

A 6700 XT is significantly faster than a 1070

[wind pulsar]

No shit Sherlock

[deep niche]

how much faster

[full fossil]

check benchmarks for temps/noise

[primal cairn]

There has to be a reason why zotac is so cheap

3070??

Roughly between a 3070 and 3070 Ti

There has to be a reason why people aren't buying ZOTAC

Then your uncle did either buy a lot of fancy stuff or he did not buy smart

yes

hes not smart

That's why I'm confused

then should not be an issue, just go for it

I said buy smart, I didn't call him an idiot

That's on you

i aint calling him an idiot

i would do the same if i had the cash

i have to put a bit more money in mine so i can play some games with physics

thats nice

i cant justify going for 4090

They've had a major fiasco at 900 and 10 series where their cards ran incredibly hot, which effectively ruined their reputation at some point

To be attractive, they gotta pick the scraps somewhere

[primal cairn]

4090 also has a known issue with the power connector

[wind pulsar]

They don't

The power connector issue is user-error, period

[full fossil]

no

[idle nymph]

Used to

[wind pulsar]

User error, period

[full fossil]

you just buy the product

and read the manual

[idle nymph]

User error?

[rustic beacon]

people didn't plug them in all the way

[primal cairn]

So ZOTAC is willing to sell their cards at a price difference of 735 because of bad rep

[wind pulsar]

The people that had melted cables bent those cables to the point that some of the pins weren't plugged in all the way

[primal cairn]

Seriously? That sounds like they are running out of business

[wind pulsar]

Apart from using super cheap parts like MSI likes to do it, yes

[idle nymph]

Alright

[primal cairn]

Is Asus really that great tho

[full fossil]

thats very normal

[full fossil]

yes

[primal cairn]

I ask because opinions of big influencers/websites aren't helping

[wind pulsar]

No, not really lmao

[idle nymph]

Its the equivalent of saphire at amd pretty much

But worse

[full fossil]

which is the best

[wind pulsar]

They're not much better than every other AIB apart from MSI and Gigabyte, who somehow manages to fuck the cards up anyway

[wind pulsar]

There's no 'best'

[full fossil]

no

[idle nymph]

Gygabyte go boom

[full fossil]

there needs to be the best

like gigabyte

[wind pulsar]

But there isn't

People saying 'That AIB is the best' are talking entirely subjectively

[full fossil]

they have explosive products

[wind pulsar]

There's no objective 'the best'

[primal cairn]

If somehow, ZOTAC screws up the 4090 temperature because of software issues or whatever, can I just build it a water pump to "fix" it?

[full fossil]

buy rog problem solved

wouldve

[idle nymph]

There is no best Overall, but some card have best choice, saphire is an good exemple, not really the best but its good

[wind pulsar]

For sure, you can just rip out the cooler and build a cooler for it if you don't mind the effort

[primal cairn]

I can't justify the price difference of 735

[unkempt nest]

just get an evga 4090 gg ez

[full fossil]

lmao

[primal cairn]

I have to steal it from Jay

[full fossil]

u paid 1200 for a 4090?

[wind pulsar]

Yeah man, just buy the highest end and most expensive line up Asus sells, what a good advice

[primal cairn]

1600

[deep niche]

hey akira

[primal cairn]

Not paid, I'm going to tho

[wind pulsar]

Mhm?

[idle nymph]

Whats the équivalent of evga in amd tho?

[deep niche]

i wanna get a better cpu

in that build

[primal cairn]

The Asus tuf is selling for 2435 here
Edit: I remembered wrong

[full fossil]

best advice

[wind pulsar]

Effectively Powercolor

[idle nymph]

So power color is the best gpu Brand? Whit what other, i know saphire is good i think

[unkempt nest]

vibes in Sapphire 6700XT

[wind pulsar]

That'll jump the budget

[primal cairn]

You say it like you're buying a 4090 for 500 lol

[deep niche]

mm

AAAA

[full fossil]

btw

[deep niche]

i hate computer

[full fossil]

nah im just as broke as u guys

would be worth getting amd or intel

spent a whole check on my pc and my wallet is crying

[wind pulsar]

None are the best, but Powercolor is generally speaking one of the best AIBs you can go for, they're about on par with Sapphire

[unkempt nest]

people paying the amount of my entire system for a graphics card makes my brain explode

[primal cairn]

I'm thinking about the statement one of my friend made "ZOTAC breaks often, you should get Asus, ZOTAC is shit"

Message shortened like 500 words

[full fossil]

didnt you just say theres no best

[wind pulsar]

Hence the reason why I went with 'one of the best' and not 'the best'

[full fossil]

sometimes u just gotta say fuck it my card now is 4x the price of my old pc

[idle nymph]

Thanks

[primal cairn]

If that's the case, your old pc belongs in the museum

[unkempt nest]

I’m a broke college student I can’t just say fuck it 😅

[wind pulsar]

You can't say there's a singular AIB that's the best, but there's several AIBs who could be referred to as 'the best'

On AMD side those are Sapphire, Asus and PowerColor

[idle nymph]

People paying 200 Dollar on keyboard scare me more ngl

[full fossil]

gtx 1650 super r5 3500 isnt that bad still

[wind pulsar]

A 12100 will shred that 3500 and the 3600X to pieces, lol
