This is mmc

[forest valve]

MMC is like that because it's a standard tool for windows management and administration

They'd rather not add a dark theme and make it unusable for people who actually need it

Which is understandable

[dim arrow]

Anybody down to help me overclock my gpu?

[forest valve]

Negative I'm not getting blamed for that cowboy

[dim arrow]

Cuz its got some room to play, 49°C on Furmark rog edition

[forest valve]

I like to stay stock to make it last as long as possible

[dim arrow]

Yeah ik but running at 100% gpu usage throughout most games suck

[forest valve]

What kind of GPU is it

[dim arrow]

Considering i selected oc mode on tweak 3 and it still has headroom says alot

[forest valve]

GPU usage % doesn't really indicate much and it depends on how you are getting that reading

[dim arrow]

6600

[forest valve]

If it's from task manager it's not accurate

[desert night]

I might need some help

[dim arrow]

Nope from amd adrenaline

[forest valve]

Support

[dim arrow]

But yeah it said 100% on the official amd software

Im running a 1080p benchmark run on the official furmark for more accurate results

6943 points on furmark

[tardy terrace]

#build-a-pc

[dim arrow]

A 980TI almost scored as good as my RX6600

[jaunty compass]

That doesn't sound right
Unless the 980ti was heavily overclocked or something

[echo canopy]

Yeah the 980ti should be ~30% slower according to tech power up. RDNA2 also destroys it in power efficiency

[foggy imp]

the 6600 is closer to a 3060

[jaunty compass]

Maybe something about the built in furmark benchmark doesn't scale well

Because the passmark test is the only one I can find off of the top of my head where the two are close

[echo canopy]

The 980ti will also shit the bed in anything that uses FP16

It would be a decent card if it wasn’t overpriced as shit

[quiet condor]

hihi

[low rain]

im playing bro falls

[mint abyss]

how much is a rtx 2080 worth? I've used a 970 for 8 years and now I might have a chance to buy a 2080, can I expect it to last me to 2030?

[full fossil]

looking to compare two pcs dm if u can help me

[foggy imp]

honestly, i don't think a 2080 will last until 2030

[stray apex]

no lol
I mean, ig if you've used a 970 for 8 years

although with how the tech is evolving

[foggy imp]

in addition, there are better value cards on the market right now

[stray apex]

raytracing will probably be required by 2030

[full fossil]

wont lemme send a image of two pcs im considering buying can someone dm me to compare whats better

[stray apex]

just link them

[fossil frost]

nobody is going to do it over dms, just post the links and anybody who can help, and wants to help, will try and help. no individual in here is your personal secretary, so cant be expected to just DM you to do your research for you

[full fossil]

won lemme send image

[fossil frost]

links... send links....

[foggy imp]

or you can just send us the specs

[full fossil]

look in tech chat 1 i snet it there

[jaunty compass]

I honestly don't think a 2080 will last till 2026; especially not for newer games

[umbral frigate]

[ionic carbon]

Does the 5600 stock cooler work with msi b550 vc wifi

[tepid bolt]

If you want it to last until 2030 you need something with more than 8gb of vram

[granite raptor]

Yooo, anyone following the news on amd cpus burning themselves

[tepid bolt]

It's been fixed already

[granite raptor]

Yeah i heard amd issued a new AGESA

does that mean if i update my bios i can safely reenable EXPO profiles again

[tepid bolt]

Ye

[fossil frost]

yep. its literally.. the news...

[thin fjord]

why does everybody keep saying this

[granite raptor]

I got scared I didn't power on my PC for two days lol

[thin fjord]

i feel like 8gb would be enough once developers start optimizing games again

[fossil frost]

which they wont, when they dont have to do, and 8gb is now the minimum to make a lot of games launch at all

[thin fjord]

which is funny because barely any actually seem to reach that 8gb requirement at reasonable settings

[granite raptor]

AMD said motherboard BIOS needs to be AGESA 1.0.0.7 but GIGABYTE's official page says the bios is 1.0.0.6 even tho the BIOS update date is 4/26

[thin fjord]

i can understand not wanting less than 8gb but actively seeking out more as though 8gb will bottle neck you is ridiculous imo

[fossil frost]

minimum specs are there for worst case scenario, ie. if there is a part of the game, a small part, that CAN use 8gb on minimum settings... then 8gb is your minimum, even if the rest of the game only uses 5

[thin fjord]

refer to my comment that was sent at the exact same time as yours

[tepid bolt]

Now that the consoles have waaay more than 8gb of vram that's what developers are targeting when developing their games.

The reason games were easy to run for so long is because previously consoles had shitty hardware compared to PCs at the time.

[near dock]

I have dmzed the lan ip of opnsense which is the wan, but from the start, i could not get any vms to talk to anything outside the network

am i doing something wrong

[fossil frost]

dmz is for incoming, not for outgoing

dmz is also a stupid idea to do on any connection if you dont understand dmz

[near dock]

i need this router to be dmzed on the main one since its going to be isolated, i dont need to communicate withit from the local network and if i did I use ESXI

[thin fjord]

didn't realize this. ps5's have 16gb now? it's going to get real ugly real fast

[tardy terrace]

shared w/ system

[tepid bolt]

12gb is the bare minimum

[thin fjord]

already has, in a way

[thin fjord]

then how much do they effectively have

[tepid bolt]

10gb+

[thin fjord]

so 10 is the new target?

[tepid bolt]

It can share up to 14gb

2gb is reserved for system

But remember that PCs need more brute power than consoles because they can't be optimized as well

So you ideally want 12gb minimum

[thin fjord]

that's crazy to think about

i knew it was going to happen eventually i just didn't think it would be so soon

[tepid bolt]

Considering the first 8gb consumer GPU came out in 2014

It's taken a while

[thin fjord]

yeah but even 4 years later with the release of the 2080, 8gb was still thought to be enough for a flagship card (atleast by Nvidia lol). Then with the release of the 3060ti, 8gb was questionable considering it's non-Ti older brother was fitted with 12, but now 8gb seems to be outright unacceptable for anything more than an entry level card.

[graceful burrow]

3060 non-ti only had 12 because amd was about to release lower end cards with 12gb and they didn't wanna be caught out

But they don't care anymore about that

They realized they can fuck over consumers and people will still buy em

[copper shore]

Heya everyone!

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[vapid smelt]

3060 8gb best gpu

[cedar oak]

headset is more of self perfumes

Something I like and enjoy doing to fit in might not be ur cup of tea, vs versa

[vapid smelt]

Gaming headsets suck

[lethal pivot]

cries in arctis nova 7

[cedar oak]

They throw gaming sets on everything now.

[lethal pivot]

RGB hurr hurr gaming

[stray apex]

I mean, the idea that developers will simply stop supporting like half the market is silly

[cedar oak]

headphones mic suck

[gilded plinth]

so a headset

[cedar oak]

k

[vapid smelt]

$20

[cedar oak]

Do you have a bestbuys close to you?

[fossil frost]

so literally any headset, and one that DOESNT have a gaming label on it, will be cheaper, or better quality

[stray apex]

what dumbass dev looks at this and thinks
hm
I should make my game run like shit on anything with less than 12gb vram

[cedar oak]

Go to bestbuy and go into there headphones and fit test what you like

[fossil frost]

devs target whatever the current gen console is

[lethal pivot]

you want good sound but shit mic quality?

[stray apex]

ah yes
current gen consoles with unified 16gb memory

[fossil frost]

yeah, thats what they are targeting

[stray apex]

devs are gonna make their games for the systems with 4gb ram and 12gb vram?

[cedar oak]

How you cosplay dearth Vader duh!

[graceful burrow]

Tbf you can drop some real dosh on a headset and get a shit mic

[cedar oak]

That cause all mics on headsets suck

[graceful burrow]

Yeah but some are horrible

[fossil frost]

the fact that you dont have to swap between system ram and vram, means you use much less system ram for resources, so yes... actually they could target that

[cedar oak]

true

[lethal pivot]

doesnt audio technica produce some okay headphones?

[thin fjord]

yeah

[graceful burrow]

Infact
I had a better mic with a 40-odd dollar headset than I did with a 100 dollar headset

[stray apex]

so you're predicting that developers will target games with 4gb of ram, 12gb of vram and directstorage

[cedar oak]

I believe they're micless i think

[stray apex]

instead of just
supporting the actual market which exists

[lethal pivot]

might aswell go for no headset mic and get a proper mic lol

[thin fjord]

the m50x's are a good entry level headphones, i'd honestly pair that with a cheaper fifine mic than to buy an expensive gamer headset. if you're on console then disregard this comment

[stray apex]

lemme know when assassin's creed or God of War start to struggle on 8gb

[stray apex]

no

is shit
buy hyperx cloud 2

[graceful burrow]

Devs target consoles

[thin fjord]

might as well go for some astro a40s

[fossil frost]

im not predicting shit... im just saying that historically, game devs target the current console, and PC ports are secondary, they could target 4/12 on the console, but that would STILL be 12gb vram on a pc, but maybe also 16gb system ram too... because you have to store whats in vram twice... and the system its self, which is much heavier than what is on a console

[stray apex]

don't worry guys
games will run better on AMD cpus because consoles use AMD

bulldozer will beat intel in gaming any day now

[graceful burrow]

That's not what I meant by that and you know it

[fossil frost]

you are making a facetious argument now, suggesting to me you have absolutely no idea about development at all, and just want to "win"

[stray apex]

you're making the claim that consoles will have a significant impact because they use... 16gb unified memory?

[hearty zinc]

heyo, anyone knows if the SSD of an Surface Pro 9 is serialized? because i will need to replace my Surface Pro 9 with a replacement SP9 and thought, if i could just swap the SSDs, so my Data will carry over easily?

[fossil frost]

no, im saying that game devs target consoles

[stray apex]

if developers want to support PC, which is seemingly quite profitable, then they're going to have to take into account the reality that PC gamers overwhelmingly do not have more than 8gb vram

[long briar]

Yes, r70x is okay. Otherwise the rest are all kinda bad

[fossil frost]

and the spec of the console influences what the PC specs will need to be, but there is not a 1:1 comparison between the console and the PC that runs the same game

[thin fjord]

what would you recommend for 100-150usd

[fossil frost]

the architecture of how the console works, is very different to how a pc works, even if the cpu is the same architecture

[long briar]

open or closed back

[thin fjord]

open back preferred

[lethal pivot]

hot take: overear headphones suck in general, my shitty S8 AKG Samsung headphones even sound much better

[long briar]

DT880 250/600ohm, hd560s

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PKCwrH/superlux-headphones-hd668b with https://a.co/d/dp6VRPK = gaming headset for $65

[long briar]

over ear headphones have a much higher entrance cost. You probably bought garbage since for closed back there's a total of like 4 good headphones under 1k

[thin fjord]

how do the 880s compare to the 990s, i find that my 990s to have a very present high end which honestly isn't my taste

[long briar]

990s are basically V shaped

[lethal pivot]

well. Arctis Nova 7 Wireless. garbage

[thin fjord]

are the 880s flatter?

[long briar]

880 are much better tuned, treble peak is much better handled and the bass is nowhere near as bloated

[long briar]

relatively speaking, yes. tho you often don't want flat in a headphone

[thin fjord]

why not?

[long briar]

Under 1k closed backs there's, k361 k371 Nth100 and aurorus australis

I guess creative aurvana live counts too but those are more on than over ear

[thin fjord]

i'll be using the headphones for music production and vocal mixing. my chimp brain tells me that flatter is better for accuracy

[stray apex]

you can get pretty decent speakers for that kind of money, then

[thin fjord]

i have roomates

[long briar]

because headphones bypass a part of your ear and needs to compensate for that

[stray apex]

buy them earplugs

[long briar]

Also for mastering music, a pair of good flat speakers are always better. Issue is that the room matters as much as the speakers so it's a pretty large investment

but in that case I'd recommend the hd560s

[thin fjord]

im unconcerned about speakers in my home setup. i'll have access to a decent studio in a few short months i just want something to keep me occupied for now

[long briar]

also Samsung included IEMs (earbuds) are actually pretty decent

[thin fjord]

what monitors would you recommend for 100-200usd. whatever i've found often seems to lack in the subs

[lethal pivot]

the ones I have got a bit of bass which is kinda neat

isolates sound from the outside pretty nicely too

best pair of inears i have used so far

I'm surprised Google didn't name it Lucifer

Just make sure Google doesn't copyright

[manic torrent]

I mean, it means 'performer'

How do 3D printers do with printing diagonal stuff

For instance, an elongated object which only fits corner to corner

[manic torrent]

it really doesn't matter much? As long as it doesn't have too much slop/error

[low rain]

Man I just showered and did my hair and now my friends wanna call but if I put on my headset imma get a huge headset dent that’ll fuck up my hair

[thorny axle]

You think there’s a particular pattern which works better when it’s diagonal?

Or doesn’t matter again

[manic torrent]

no, I mean you can 3D print in circles, why would a diagonal be hard? 😛

[thorny axle]

No idea

I guess it requires lots of support, and I didn’t think it did well going in all 3 directions at once

[opaque sky]

pickle linus

[thorny axle]

Or rather, some else told me it didn’t do well doing that

[manic torrent]

only two, not three

[thorny axle]

It has to go x y and z to go down the object

[manic torrent]

The person who told you that doesn't know shit about fuck

[manic torrent]

z is to go UP

[thorny axle]

Or I guess it prints weirdly

[thorny axle]

Let me show you

[manic torrent]

do you mean diagonally in 3D space?

[opaque sky]

depends on the program

[manic torrent]

I mean it absolutely doesn't.

[opaque sky]

some display y, some display z

[manic torrent]

but the traditional 'one z layer at a time' is going to suck

[thorny axle]

The object is angled in the x, y, and z directions

[manic torrent]

nothing I have ever seen uses y for height

[opaque sky]

im pretty sure unity does

[polar fern]

It gonna look all stepped

[thorny axle]

Well, I’m using cura

[manic torrent]

using a standard FDM slicer it will suck. What you want is a treadmill style printer, or a non standard slicer

[thorny axle]

And z is definitely up/down

[manic torrent]

or, to print it in two parts.

[thorny axle]

Not an option because rules

[manic torrent]

not hugely

[thorny axle]

Well, I have the Ultimaker 3S

[manic torrent]

this is all about the slicer.

[thorny axle]

Just ignore that the screenshot is a different printer

[thorny axle]

Would that be like the software I use?

[manic torrent]

yes, slicer turns a 3D object into gcode printer instructions

[thorny axle]

And then the printer just runs those instructions

[manic torrent]

yes, the printer is very dumb

If you think they only use hwid to ban and nothing else you're horribly mistaken lmao

[past egret]

you can, but cheaters usually just use a spoofer

[manic torrent]

gaming in a VM isn't going to abstract away the hardware enough also you've already failed

if you're getting HWID banned, it's because you have failed at life.

"wahhh I cheated and I got banned, whyyyy I only cheated recently, what about all the years I didn't cheat" - always a compelling argument.

mb, what i was asking is if you needed to pay for one to play online, had the same problem with star wars battlefront, it sucks to pay again to play online for a game u bought

[night heron]

there are a handful yes

[vapid smelt]

i rather spend 20-30 more for a new drive

[mint abyss]

do you have an example

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQMQW4sbXf8

[night heron]

you can get 8tb HGST 7200rpm drives for $63 or for $80 depending on how long of a warranty you want

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165015561964234

[mint abyss]

their conclusion is all based on your personal preference

[night heron]

the $63 drives seem to be a couple years older and only have 1 year warranties

the drives in my nas were made in 2013 so it’s probably fine

[mint abyss]

im buying a drive to record my game play for my own review purpose only because im too lazy to upload them to youtube unlisted, the drive will only be storing garbage i don't care about losing, so yeah i don't think you can change my mind paying 110+tax for a new drive, but thanks

[timid meadow]

I think all my hgsts are roughly the same age (2013ish) and all bought used and ive had 0 complaints. Super reliable

[night heron]

hgst is goated

[long briar]

It's not good

it's far from good. It's worth no more than 70 bucks

Also what makes a microphone gaming?

[timid meadow]

Hp makes good enough. Good enough for enterprise bulk machines and midrange laptops

[long briar]

Cloud ii, ii wireless, and Alpha are actually pretty decent headsets, only because they're based off the Takstar Pro 80

their Envy and Probook lineup are pretty good too

[long briar]

If you're looking for a good usb mic, the best ones rn is the Elgato Wave 1/3, ATR2100X

at a lower budget Fifine makes some pretty decent stuff too for a rather low cost

[burnt robin]

So here we go I need give the seller final answer today.. about my decision 4080 ($1450) or Pulse 7900xtx ($1400) .... few more feedback before I finally decide?

(Prices ugly in my little country called Georgia)

[long briar]

do you need cuda and rt?

[unkempt widget]

what do you need it for

[burnt robin]

I love visuals but not insanely critical RT unless it becomes the standard for future triple A games to look "well"

Gaming mostly
Cod
Bf
Rts
And adventures

[unkempt widget]

mw2 is very good on rdna3

[burnt robin]

I appreciate visuals and max settings

[unkempt widget]

i would take a 7900xtx if i played that game

[burnt robin]

But its just one game...how about the whole rest

[vapid smelt]

7900xtx hands down

[unkempt widget]

7900xtx is basically the same performance as 4080 in gaming

[unkempt widget]

7900xtx is better than 4080 in davinci, but it's worse in basically every other productivity task

[burnt robin]

So maybe safer add $50 and pay $1450 for 4080?

Then RT, VR, UE5 all just works

[vapid smelt]

what country are you in?

[burnt robin]

Georgia 🇬🇪

[unkempt widget]

if you use VR, i might go with a 4080, UE5 works alright on both cards

[burnt robin]

Here 4070 ti cost 1150
XT 1150
XTX 1400
4080 1450

[unkempt widget]

it's not the worst prices ever

[burnt robin]

Glad to hear it ^_^

Vram won't be an issue next years with 16gb?

[tender geyser]

Lol who knows

[unkempt widget]

i wouldn't be sure

[tender geyser]

Look at Jedi survivor

[mild current]

Wouldn't Unity be more suited for VR use?

[unkempt widget]

that person was talking about RT, VR, and UE5

[mild current]

ok

[unkempt widget]

RT works on 7900xtx, slightly worse, but it's nothing major

[mild current]

joining the conversation late

[unkempt widget]

UE5 as well, but the 7900xtx is dog poo poo on vr

[mild current]

It will be interesting seeing how UE5 keeps up with the "meta-verse"

[burnt robin]

You can set low RT settings

Then XTX can be Par with 4080?

[unkempt widget]

7900xtx is like really close a 4080 in rt

[burnt robin]

CP on YT shows some very unhealthy stuff like 10-20 fps for xtx

[unkempt widget]

fsr 2.1 is similar to dlss 2 in terms of image quality, but people tend to prefer dlss 2 over fsr 2.1

[unkempt widget]

you mean path tracing, that's not really supported that well on AMD

[vapid smelt]

if your on drugs sure

[unkempt widget]

that's a 7900xt

[vapid smelt]

ah

[unkempt widget]

i'm not on drugs, you're in need of glasses

[vapid smelt]

damn amd names

[mild current]

Are we still trying to render live game content?

[vapid smelt]

25% slower

[burnt robin]

Let's be honest 4080 gives a good fight here to xtx

The 24GB vram super tempting

But if games traditionally will keep up better on RTX

4080 will simply do better

[unkempt widget]

20% slower in 3 games, benchmarked by gn

i overestimated it lmfao

[vapid smelt]

20% is not close

[unkempt widget]

ik ik

[burnt robin]

So.. 4080.

[mild current]

what engine is guardians

[unkempt widget]

if you use vr, yes

if you don't, it's debatable

[burnt robin]

Sometimes not a daily drive for sure

[vapid smelt]

for $50 more the 4080 all the way if your ok with spending 1450

[burnt robin]

Well I already completed mental agreement for the investment

[mild current]

Does UE5 perform better on AMD cards?

[unkempt widget]

alright then, 4080 it is

[timid meadow]

By the time your spending 1400 bucks, yea the extra 50 seems like a miniscule addition

[vapid smelt]

what is your current card?

[burnt robin]

Laptop

With 3080 but I want real PC experience

Laptop kinda not there

[mild current]

Define "real" PC experience?

[burnt robin]

Well laptop tend to hick up more as it's more heat ... 3080 is barely 3070 desktop

It's not real next gen performance

[mild current]

The "gen" of performance usually starts with the major version of your chipset

[burnt robin]

Anyways 3070 for sure ain't next gen

[mild current]

3070 is previous gen

[quartz python]

I'm still laughing to this day about 3.5g vram

[tepid bolt]

Just get the 4090

[quartz python]

At least that’s what’s obvious to me

[long briar]

because Nvidia tried to artificially limit the card to create tiers and tripped over itself

[burnt robin]

No.

4090 cost 2700$ here

[mild current]

then get another 40xx

the 4070 is the same gen as the 4090

[burnt robin]

With the prices here.. 4080 seems most interesting

[quartz python]

You mfs have too much money lmao, I’m the type of guy to game on absolute trash (insert aforementioned 11 year old MacBook Pro)

[vapid smelt]

just buy a new pc

[timid meadow]

Dont let elitists ruin your fun lol. The best hardware in the world is whatever is installed in your system rn

[burnt robin]

I'm ain't rich but I'm hardware-holic

I admit it right here

A normal person would say f..... I got 3080 laptop.... enough

But me? No.... I need a "real' PC

Actually it all comes down to my childhood....how much I liked tinker with a big bulky pc

Its kinda nostalgic for me having a true PC chassis again

And game on it...

[timid meadow]

If you want a "real" pc, you get a 2 gen old xeon with 20 cores and slap 100tbs of storage and 500gb of ram on it

[burnt robin]

Jeez

[timid meadow]

Random example lol. Im only on 6 cores and 30TB storage

[burnt robin]

Ouch 30TB !!

[timid meadow]

For the server at least

[burnt robin]

Anyways back to original topic pls

Final call 4080 or XTX with 3-4 years use cases

[timid meadow]

4080 imo

[unkempt widget]

am i the only one who wants to build a nas even though i don't have any usage of that much storage lmfao

[vapid smelt]

4080 is too weak only 16gb of vram you need a 4090

[unkempt widget]

nah nah, 4090? you kidding me? rtx a6000 ada at the least for gaming

[timid meadow]

As soon as its built youll find a use. Every hdd upgrade i make lasts maybe 1/4 of the time i expected it to

[burnt robin]

Don't mention this 4090 pls... card for president salary

Nvidia must be ashamed

With these pricing schemes

[unkempt widget]

4090 is absolutely a good price lmfao

[vapid smelt]

nah we should be ashamed for not being able to buy them

[burnt robin]

For you yes for me... no.

[unkempt widget]

it's a huge fucking generational improvement vs a 3090

[timid meadow]

Plus, nas is for more then just mass storage. Even a 1 or 2 tb cloud is nice to have around the house for sharing files across devices

[mild current]

why should they be ashamed, it's not their fault you are poor

[vapid smelt]

so the 5090 should cost $2400 if its twice as fast?

[stray apex]

nah

[unkempt widget]

6% increase in price for like 60% in frames

[unkempt widget]

a 3090 was $1500 at msrp lmfao

[stray apex]

can you imagine how badly nvidia could fuck the market if they had a $1200 4090 and a $500 4070

oh wait
nvidia is already fucking the market
plz intel

amd can't save us
they just made a post about how they sell 16gb gpus for sub-$500 which tells us that they wont' be doing that this gen

[long briar]

I mean the 3090 is now half the price of launch used

[stray apex]

amd's favorite taste is their own foot

[mild current]

oh lets talk about marketting, like many of you guys have any fucking idea how these things work anyway 😅

[burnt robin]

Ok final call made 4080

[burnt robin]

Taking this model:
GV-N4080GAMING OC-16GD,

[stray apex]

$1200 for a 4080 christ

you can't just spike your prices like that

[burnt robin]

It cost me here $1450

[unkempt widget]

die size doesn't matter that much, considering that they use a 4nm process
but yeah, $1200 for a __80 gpu? that's ridiculous

[stray apex]

there aren't extenuating circumstances anymore

[mild current]

So the cards cost whatever they are worth to the consumer

[unkempt widget]

should've been $1000 at the very most

[stray apex]

yeah, and the 4090 is the only card selling well

[vapid smelt]

but 1600 for a 4090 is ok?

[stray apex]

the 4090 is a bullshit stupid price, but it is literally the best thing on the market so some people are willing to pay that money

[unkempt widget]

yes, because 3090 was $1500, and a 4090 has a shit ton of cores compared to a 3090

[stray apex]

the 4080 is also over 1k
but it's not even nearly as fast

[unkempt widget]

it's a genuine generational improvement

[stray apex]

why would you spend $1200 on a 4080 when if you look around you can find a $1500 4090

[mild current]

If the cards werent worth the amount, they would be selling at a different price

[unkempt widget]

4090 has 16384 cuda cores against a 3090's 10496

[stray apex]

4070 sales have, afaik, not done well

both 4080's have also struggled

[mild current]

So?

[stray apex]

there's no excitement for these cards
people don't want them

[tepid bolt]

Keep in mind Nvidia changed the way they calculate cuda cores when 30 series launched

[unkempt widget]

irrelevant, as we're comparing two cards that happened after they recalculated cuda cores or whatever it is they did

[tepid bolt]

The 3080 was originally marketed with 4352 cuda cores

[unkempt widget]

so they straight up doubled it

[manic torrent]

nobody needs more than 8gb VRAM - nvidia, probably

[unkempt widget]

that's hilarious

[unkempt widget]

i was about to fight you lmfao

[stray apex]

plague tale requiem only uses 6.2gb at 4k ultra
simply have nvidia pay you to optimize your game

[unkempt widget]

tbh i blame game designers on the vram issue, OPTIMIZE YOUR GAME AND STOP RELEASING CRAPPY UNOPTIMIZED GAMES ON PC!!!

[tepid bolt]

It also has horrible frametime pacing on AMD and Intel GPUs

[unkempt widget]

ahem jedi survivor

[stray apex]

shoulda bought nvidia

[tepid bolt]

Right

[stray apex]

https://youtu.be/tBbuPwUHu1A?t=35

[tepid bolt]

But when a game is optimized for AMD hardware (MW2) all hell breaks loose

[wispy marsh]

How's Plague Tale Requiem?

I loved the prequel game

[stray apex]

I have no idea

I just know that it's technically quite impressive

[wispy marsh]

[quartz python]

Too broke. I’m in high school atm which isn’t much help either

My best PC is that MacBook, but I used to have a actual rig before I had to get rid of it

Had a i5-2400 and a RX 560.

Built out of literal trash

[past egret]

adobe substance 3d abuse

[unkempt widget]

adobe crashing simulator 2023

[spring socket]

It's a management problem

[unkempt widget]

fully agree

[spring socket]

Companies need to actually manage their studios instead of just throwing money at the problem

The saints row reboot is a perfect example

[past egret]

no one told me blender was way easier than maya

[spring socket]

That game had a budget of 100 million dollars, yet ended up being disappointing at best

[coarse pendant]

houdini is the easiest tbh

[stray apex]

I mean, spending money on a work of art does not mean it's going to be good

marvel is not exactly composed exclusively of cinematic masterpieces

[past egret]

and then you will say zbrush and cinema 4d

[coarse pendant]

Oh ya

Cinema 4d ⛽️ 🔥🔥🔥

[graceful burrow]

C4d is atrocious

[past egret]

^

[graceful burrow]

Blender >

[coarse pendant]

Blender is a good all rounder just not there yet

[past egret]

zbrush is a lot of fun but like thats mostly just sculpting

[coarse pendant]

Tbh 3Ds and c4d peak ngl

[graceful burrow]

Blender is plenty there it just needs adoption
Blender is advancing at a pace that nothing else is

[past egret]

its a shame really because blender is a lot of fun to play with and theres so many documentations while maya you have to learn it from a guy and a guy

[coarse pendant]

I’ve never used maya before can’t speak on it

[past egret]

but maya does a lot more and its the industry standard

[past egret]

its ok, wish it had a lot more documentations

[graceful burrow]

I'd like to get into houdini

Seems fun, I love physics sims

[past egret]

id rather not, nuke got me fucked up

im done with vfx

[coarse pendant]

Blender is cool but just not for me, I just don’t have a need for it because I already have my workflow down

[coarse pendant]

Don’t learn too many software at once it makes it very tough tbh

[past egret]

that was a while ago, im mainly doing design work with adobe and blender nowdays

[coarse pendant]

Like mograph stuff?

[graceful burrow]

Ew adobe

Obligatory ew adobe

[past egret]

no better alternatives and it comes with my work so idc

[coarse pendant]

Pirating Adobe is morally right

Davinci Resolve > premiere

Resolve

[past egret]

im not learning resolve im staying on premiere and ae

[graceful burrow]

🤮

[spring socket]

Resolve has the option to use premiere controls lol

[graceful burrow]

Based wtf

[velvet marsh]

there's no good alternative for after effects or photoshop

[graceful burrow]

That's why you don't pay for it

[spring socket]

For Photoshop, there's GIMP

[stray apex]

no

[vapid smelt]

just get a job ez pz

[tardy terrace]

Krita.

[velvet marsh]

My statement still stands

[tardy terrace]

Corel.

[past egret]

i mainly use illustrator

[vapid smelt]

i use microsoft 3dpaint

[past egret]

AI artwork :)))))

(AI for Adobe Illustrator)

[timid meadow]

I use photoshop for the rare times i need it. Havent paid a penny tho 🤷

[stray apex]

itunes is on the microsoft store

this is the most cursed thing i've seen all week

[graceful burrow]

Microsoft apps are on the ios app store

[vapid smelt]

@adobe toasted is stealing from you

[stray apex]

why is itunes still a thing

[past egret]

apple music idk

[tardy terrace]

..apple products?

[graceful burrow]

Why are you asking me like I buy into closed ecosystems

[pliant karma]

we don't talk about adobe coming after me when I did a tutorial on how to pirate their applications through creative cloud

which still works

[wispy marsh]

Huh

[pliant karma]

works on mac os so it is still sorta easy though limited to certain adobe apps

[timid meadow]

Panda bout to triple his youtube views sayin that in here. Doesnt even have to promo his page bc linked account

[tardy terrace]

What's the type of work schedule called when you're day on/day off/day on/day off

[graceful burrow]

Every other day

[velvet marsh]

I just pay for Adobe, not worth the hassle for a program I use literally every day

[tardy terrace]

no there's an actual term for it and it's on the tip of my tongue

[pliant karma]

heh they took that video down. To say the least it left a mark on my account, gone now but it was there for a while

[tardy terrace]

SPLIT SHIFT that's it

[graceful burrow]

A split shift is if you work like
8-12 and then 3-7 in the same day
Your shift is split

[timid meadow]

Ive always heard split shift being when you work a few hours, go home for a few, then come back for the rest

[tardy terrace]

yeah i just googled, y'all right

[graceful burrow]

I know

[vapid smelt]

we are never wrong

[tardy terrace]

wroung
I saw that

[vapid smelt]

lies

[timid meadow]

Your damn right im right i cant remember a time i was goshdang wrong

[tardy terrace]

I'm wrong somewhat often and I would rather be corrected than be stubborn

[pliant karma]

lol tinkering through my side monitors osd. Had no clue it had a crosshairs option.

[graceful burrow]

That's literally the way to be

[manic torrent]

I'm annoyed at how often I'm right.

[timid meadow]

[past egret]

gimmick feature unless you play like tarkov or something

[tardy terrace]

or halo w/ skulls

[vapid smelt]

or tetris

[neon mesa]

can be useful as some annoying games lacking it

[past egret]

lacking the crosshair?

[neon mesa]

i had to use third party crosshair overlay before

[pliant karma]

lol my friends got me to play some fps roblox shooter Phantom Forces . sorta handy I guess

[past egret]

fuck built in crosshair overlays, i just use a fuckin sharpie

[long briar]

Krita > Gimp

[rare zenith]

True

[tardy terrace]

uses a sharpie on a monitor
WHY

[vapid smelt]

just punch a small hole with a nail

[tardy terrace]

[timid meadow]

Just use clear tape and mark on that like a normal person

[tardy terrace]

^

[stray apex]

just imagine the crosshair

[tardy terrace]

50 px to the left & 10 down

[stray apex]

totally undetectable
you can even use this hack at lan parties

[rare zenith]

Don't forget to put your monitor through the wash to reduce lag

[tardy terrace]

oh yeah electron dust builds up between transistors you gotta slow-tumble your cpu/gpu every year or so

[stray apex]

that's why you watercool your system

you can just change out the water when it gets dusty instead of having to wash the whole system

[tardy terrace]

no but if you're gonna wash your loop you need at least 500psi of water

[tight sedge]

Good morning

[timid meadow]
