I think it's for the homeless

[tardy terrace]

#public-chat message

oh thanks discord links

[tardy terrace]

It is NOT.
It was specifically started for people w/ terminal illnesses

[stray apex]

A perfectly valid use case

[tardy terrace]

And suddenly allowed for people w/ things other than terminal illnesses, and an olympic athlete was offered the program when she heavily requested a stair lift

[stray apex]

So an athlete requested a stair lift and the government told her to die?

[tardy terrace]

All the sudden homelessness & "prescription-resistant depression" are up for MAiD approval since march this year. It's fucking horrendous.

[brave lodge]

macros are so kewl you guys

[tardy terrace]

The government offered her the program to voluntarily be euthanized.

[stray apex]

Truly using lateral thinking to solve the housing crisis

[tardy terrace]

I know this is a tech server but what the fuck

[stray apex]

I mean, that's just a very polite way to tell someone to fuck off and die

[tardy terrace]

LTT y'all are based in canadia, fix this shit.

[brave lodge]

what is going on lol

[dreamy rose]

"homeless? lets kill you if you are up for it!"

[tardy terrace]

..I don't really know what I'd expect them to do, I'm just very angry over this

[brave lodge]

im so confused wth

[tardy terrace]

You're confused, I'm angy
Typical monday night on discord

[brave lodge]

about what?

[tardy terrace]

lmao just scroll up

[brave lodge]

meh

was jus asking for a brief summary

[tardy terrace]

tl;dr Canada's medical asisstance in death program has turned into a dystopian civilian population control measure as of march 2023

[brave lodge]

L canada

[dreamy rose]

from what i can gather it seems canada is allowing the homeless death if they want it.

[stray apex]

But is it at least free

[brave lodge]

yk what i say, canada is like america but worse and with less guns

[tardy terrace]

gdi warship

[brave lodge]

[dreamy rose]

this reminds me of a short story where stupid families were told to come to the government and push a button to die for america.

[brave lodge]

more guns in my house hold than people

[tardy terrace]

Reminds me of the patriotic involuntary death vault in fallout

Sigh.

[hazy parrot]

I don’t understand this ebb and flow of taking turns doing each others jobs better but Arcs are killing it in Linux

[dreamy rose]

isn't the 4060Ti 8GB like 100 dollars more expensive?

[stray apex]

The 4060 is cheaper

Is estimated to have similar raster performance
And you know the Nvidia spiel

[hazy parrot]

TENSORCORRRRRES

✊

[dreamy rose]

i saw it compared to the 4060Ti 8GB an it was only like 20% better max for 100 dollars more.

[hazy parrot]

20% better how

[stray apex]

In raw raster, presumably

[hazy parrot]

Like how do you get a number like that

[stray apex]

That's the only useful comparison between AMD and Nvidia gpus

[hazy parrot]

Hm. Tbh I diddnt even give a crap about GPU spec until AI came around

[dreamy rose]

if Nvidia's marketing was to be taken seriously DLSS 3 vs Raw AMD performance is the only valid way to compare

[stray apex]

No lmao

The 7600 is estimated to be around a 6650xt

The 4060 is estimated to be around a 3060ti

[dreamy rose]

didn't say i agree with Nvidia's shit. that's just what they think.

[hazy parrot]

Are they still doing low hash rate cards?

Cause I gotta say, it’s quite impressive how that became a thing so quick and diddnt end up throttling all the cards at anything else

[stray apex]

GPU crypto isn't much of a thing so probably not

[hazy parrot]

I would’ve expected something to kick in hosting a 7B model in all my vram

[dreamy rose]

[hazy parrot]

Eh, investing maybe

Shady markets? Well that’s just business

[dreamy rose]

i wouldn't in the first place either but.

[thin fjord]

its a given that you would get more frames with the x3d

[trim dawn]

Ok

[mint ore]

[thin fjord]

but the 5600x isn't a bad pairing

[trim dawn]

I'm just looking for something good for VR

Which one?

OK, well I'm probably going to upgrade to the 5800x3d anyway

It'll be much better when my new ram arrives

Guys the original creator of the missile guidance system said thanks to me

Lmao

[terse folio]

yea

skip AM5 for now, wait next gen

[trim dawn]

Bro, I'm not upgrading to AM5 for a long time

[rancid vault]

what are some nice motherboards for z77/67 era ?

[trim dawn]

Mostly because I'm DDR5 ram is expensive af in my country

[safe oasis]

😕 Shouldn't ever upgrade to it, or upgrade now

AM5 will be developed till 2025, so AM6 is the new thing in 3-4 years

[thin fjord]

what a short livespan

[vapid zephyr]

Ah no

[safe oasis]

I mean that's how long stuff lasts no? 🤔

[vapid zephyr]

They will develop it until at least 2025

[trim dawn]

Yeah, but to upgrade it, I need ddr5 ram but DDR5 is fricking expensive in my country because of diplomatic relations with China

[safe oasis]

Prob best to skip then, or go intel for that matter if your planning on upgrading

I'm just saying, if your planning on upgrading to AM5 in 3-4 years your doing yourself a disservice

[thin fjord]

this makes more sense

[safe oasis]

Just upgrade to the next best thing at that point considering CPU prices are reasonable

[vapid zephyr]

And even if it was until 2025, that's still give or take three generations of CPUs, Intel changes their socket after one or two lmao

[trim dawn]

Yeah probably lmao

[safe oasis]

Yeah, I'd bet it probably will be AM5 till maybe 2026

Good almost 4 years

They could potentially make a new platform when DDR6 comes out

[fierce moth]

my bet is ddr6 wont happen till 2030

[thin fjord]

ill bet you a nickel it comes out before then

[soft trellis]

What's the best way to make money when not using my pc. I've got salad but I want as much. I doubt crypto would be good since I can't make a wallet

[safe oasis]

I think it'll be around then, maybe AM7 at that point

[thin fjord]

im sure someone out there would pay to use your pc train ai models

[safe oasis]

Or am6 if its earlier

[soft trellis]

Would that need powerful parts?

My pc isn't very good. 1030 and i5 4670

[thin fjord]

you could probably use it to host a minecraft server if you got loads of ram

[fierce moth]

id also say 2024/2025 we would get pcie gen 6

or something in am6

[dreamy rose]

introduced 2022, if we assume the same timeframe between 4.0 and 5.0 showing up on Consumer stuff, uk, ssds and what not. we'd see it 2026.

[fierce moth]

and wait a year for parts to use it

as theres always about a year to fully use it

[dreamy rose]

we wont properly utilise gen 5 SSDs for a long time

though i love the idea of SSDs that fast

[fossil frost]

general consumers wont, but enterprise will, data centres, machine learning... they all will love the extra speed

[dreamy rose]

by the time WE begin to use it Gen 7 would probably be out.

[fossil frost]

yeah, thats how this whole trickle down consumerism works... enterprise uses it first, and them buying it makes it cheaper, then it becomes affordable for us to buy it, then we buy it

[dreamy rose]

gen 3 SSDs will probably be irrelevant cause 4 will be cheap as hell

[still yacht]

How do you think my ssd write and read speed is 3.5 Gb/s?

[plush rivet]

way to many factors
Good internet and assuming your SSD can handle it

[dreamy rose]

thats far from the worst an SSD can do.

if you ask me thats a perfectly usable speed. but i'm on SATA so. theres a gap there

and before you ask no its not a choice i dont have NVME at all

[eternal thunder]

memes are banned????

[thin fjord]

no fun allowed.

[eternal thunder]

wow

that's incredibly sad

[fossil frost]

memes are banned in public chat because of children ruining it for everyone, constant shit posting, and since the first thing you did was try and post a meme in here, and found that you couldnt and then complained about it, you are one of the people creating the problem

Oh ok

[small zephyr]

dang i love being an regular in my local pizza store

they always give me double the size i ordered

[earnest bolt]

just how big of a problem is my CPU reaching 94c under load without thermal throttling

[small zephyr]

no problem at all

if its aint throtling it aint an problem

[eternal thunder]

i didn't tho

i didn't try to post a meme

i just read it in the rules, and was confused

[slow ridge]

Hello!

[trim dawn]

Big, depending on what CPU you have

[slow ridge]

Im new here

[trim dawn]

Hi!

[slow ridge]

Hiii

[earnest bolt]

Ryzen 5 2400G clocked with nearly an extra Ghz (at like 4.7) and the voltage to make it work. Its perfectly stable outside the janky thermals

[slow ridge]

Its nice to find people also interested in tech and gadgets

[trim dawn]

How tf did you get that high? I know you overclocked it but still

[real schooner]

Sounds hot, but your cooling solution is handling it (maybe only just, and for now, but handling it is handling it)

[earnest bolt]

guess I just won the sillicon lottery lmao

[trim dawn]

Lmao

[earnest bolt]

its the stock AMD cooler lmfao

[real schooner]

🫣

Upgrade the cooler and you have the same performance with less anxiety inducing temps

[ashen zodiac]

nice, my 4670K hits 4.3ghz all core. i can do 4.5 but it becomes a furnace. for a 10 year old cpu i think that's acceptable too

[small zephyr]

and less noise

[trim dawn]

Will 32gb of ram make a huge difference compared to 16gb? I don't expect it to but I'm hoping so.

[earnest bolt]

yeah, i've got an AIO on back order but also its fun to see performance go brrrr

[small zephyr]

mine is an devastingly hawd 54c on full load

[trim dawn]

Mine reaches 52 at oc and on high loads

Lmao

[ashen zodiac]

that is high depending on what cpu it is

[trim dawn]

I had to mix thermaltake and coolermaster parts because one half broke and the other one broke

[small zephyr]

if you have cheap chinese rgb fans straped on your aio like me its normal tho

[real schooner]

Welcome @slow ridge

[ashen zodiac]

tjmax is 95c so.. should be ok

[earnest bolt]

imagine being able to trust your thermal protection, AM5 users seething rn

[slow ridge]

Hello Root! Thanks for the welcome.

[trim dawn]

So will 32gb make a huge difference?

[earnest bolt]

Yeah its nearly double man

[ashen zodiac]

or stock voltage

[slow ridge]

Is that ram or storage?

[small zephyr]

mostly asus fault tho

[earnest bolt]

Or the stock solder

[trim dawn]

Ram. Need it for multitasking. Just hoping performance gets a lot better as well

[ashen zodiac]

basically everything

[slow ridge]

Yeah thats already a lot. Maybe get a good cpu as well for processing power

[earnest bolt]

I've got a 5800X3D coming to squeeze as much life outta my mobo as i can until I finally have to move to AM5, i just kind of want to see how far I can push a 2400G until it actually dies

[trim dawn]

I've got a 5600x (Overclocked to the max) and a 3060ti

[slow ridge]

Oh ok then. You're all set man. What are you gonna multi task anyway?

My prebuilt has a built in windows 11 is there any way for me to switch to 10?

Format & install Win10.

If it's a prebuilt it will also get rid of all the pre installed crap.

[dreamy rose]

11 is crap but 10 is dying in late 25

i never played destiny

english and dutch was easy, cuz i'm dutch and you learn english in school. the netherlands is next to germany hence basically all dutch people know basic german as the languages are similar and you are almost guaranteed to encounter germans if you live near the border like i do...

japanese i'm finding a lot more difficult, cuz it's not similar in any way to the languages i already know and i'm learning it on my own time so...

do you guys use digital vibrance

[slim barn]

I am thinking of another 2560x1440 but I also need the deskspace for PC repairs etc.... Tempted.

[full fossil]

This is how I have it atm, find myself needing more screens though lol

[slim barn]

2M desk gives me enough room for a 3440x1440 and two 2560x1440. Or lose a 2560 and have room to work.

[full fossil]

Can lose the laptop and portable when I need workspace

[slim barn]

And I really don't feel like going vertical.

[full fossil]

Vertical is amazing

[slim barn]

I meant 2 monitors stacked. Wouldn't save much space putting a 27" in portrait.

[full fossil]

Ahh

[wispy marsh]

What about two 32"?

[full fossil]

I'm running two 24" and a 29"

[wispy marsh]

Would you rather have a lager screen on top, if you stack them vertically?

[slim barn]

Already have a 34" UW. And a 32" in portrait would be around the same width as a 27" in landscape.

[full fossil]

Smaller is preferable for me

[wispy marsh]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/931960199911206945/1106252554888806490/IMG_1232.jpg

The bottom monitor feels a tad too large, and the top monitor feels a bit too small

[full fossil]

Is your top monitor upside down?

[finite cloud]

They look identical to me

[wispy marsh]

Yep

[full fossil]

Ew

[wispy marsh]

[slim barn]

I like my monitors on arms above the desk (about 12") A second 34" UW above another would be too high.

[wispy marsh]

I don't mind it

[wispy marsh]

I can remove the desk and the monitors would still be there

[slim barn]

Yes. But they still sit too low for my preference.

If they work for you then great. Nothing wrong with it. Just preference.

The only two options that would work for me is to add a third and lose the workspace. Or stick with duals.

[wispy marsh]

Ooh

[slim barn]

Best way to minimise bezels between the screens.

[full fossil]

I don't see what everyone issues with bezels is

[wispy marsh]

It's not the bezels

LG's control nipple is in the middle at the bottom of the screen

I'd rather have an upside-down osd than having almost impossible access to it

[long briar]

IMO bottom is good for TVs (where the bottom originated for LG) but MSI uses rear nipple and it's just better...

[wispy marsh]

I like control nipples at the back of the monitor better

[slim barn]

Or on the back but to either side.

[full fossil]

Uh... Something something innuendo

[slim barn]

We like playing with nipples. What's so innuendo about that?

[full fossil]

Have to be careful, I've heard they can be sensitive and have unexpected reactions to stimulation er... Inputs

[slim barn]

Had a good BenQ one that had a remote. Awesome monitor. But only 1080.

[full fossil]

Yeah my benQ has a remote

[slim barn]

Actually... I could just get another UW and have it in portrait to replace the 27" secondary. Would give me the same real estate as 3 monitors....

[pallid plover]

I run a 29' ultrawide as a portrait monitor, i ended up wanting like a 27 in 4k instead. its just TOO low to the desk to have it remotely centered up with my main display.

[full fossil]

I love how we use such old terms for monitors, portrait and landscape

[graceful burrow]

All words are old

[pallid plover]

I debated just saying vertical instead, but i figured i would mirror the terms they used.

[full fossil]

No it's great that we use these terms imo

[pallid plover]

All words are made up too

[slim barn]

That's my only concern with that. The asthetics of it. So easier to just go left and right and not have it stopped by vertical differences. (if that even makes sense)

[full fossil]

It's shows the history of our language

[tired glade]

Oh,4060 release

[wispy marsh]

Is this portrait or landscape then?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/931960199911206945/1086328377151066173/image.png?width=763&height=859

[tired glade]

How much is it?

[slim barn]

What I mean is i'd have to vertically centre my mouse on the portrait monitor before moving back to the landscape one.

[graceful burrow]

Taller than it is wider
Portrait

[slim barn]

Portrait.

[pallid plover]

Using an ultrawide has it literally an inch from off my desk to keep it remotely in line. I end up losing a bunch of desk space because i cant put ANYTHING there or it blocks half the screen

[tired glade]

Oh,4060 ti is 400$

[wispy marsh]

Too bad the win11 taskbar took up so much vertical space.

[tired glade]

Wait, MSRP if 3060 ti was 399?

[full fossil]

You can get a open source mod that lets you alter it, even make it in the side

[pallid plover]

MSRP in 2019-2020 means nothing

[slim barn]

Fk it. Just going to do this and be done with it. https://farm1.static.flickr.com/156/405187988_c77e039859_o.jpg

[pallid plover]

Technically the Samsung Ark monitor is like 30% off everywhere, they are basically B2G1F and you could

[slim barn]

My 34" is the sweet spot for me. Wouldn't want to go any bigger.

[full fossil]

i feel like nvidia is just treating every midrange gamer like they just wanna play esports

[knotty oracle]

adaptive sync is weird its supposed to lower input lag however my game feels alot smoother after turning it off? lol

[full fossil]

handicapping the vram forces you to go down to visuals

buying a new, faster gpu should mean you should be able to play at better settings with the same or more performance

not playing the same game at the same settings just with more performance

nvidia's whole frames win games mindset is flawed, they push shit like dlss3 and nvidia reflex into titles that dont really require it

nvidia's idea of price to performance is just horrible. the 3070's perf jump compared to the 3060 ti is fucking way smaller in comparison to the 4070 compared to the 4060 ti

'lets fuck off the midrange gamers, theyll just buy anything right?' is unfortunately true though

[fair sage]

so 4060 Ti is cash grab pretty much. selling a slightly modernized 3060 Ti for same money 2 years later

[full fossil]

the 3050 is a trash card at a trash price but people still bought it and i know everybody's gonna be buying the 4060 and 4050 series

[ashen zodiac]

you don't need a new card for that as well. my laptop's 1060 6gb handles Overwatch at 120fps all day, even with the power limit set at 80% to stop my laptop heating up too much

[full fossil]

the 4060 is legit just a 3060 ti on ada

just with even more handicapped bus width. only good thing i can say about ada is power efficiency

i wouldnt be surprised if you could get away with a 4060 on something like a really good 350w sfx power supply

provided you're not running high tdp hardware

[fair sage]

uhm, 4060 Ti is 3060 Ti on ADA. 4060 is worse

[full fossil]

4060 is on par with the 3060 ti, 4060 ti seems to be just a bit above but still below a 3070

at least judging from nvidias own benches (i havent watched the reviews yet lool)

[graceful burrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/381193840159358976/1110584682808082554/Screenshot_20230523-080630_YouTube.jpg

[knotty oracle]

imagine buying the 1050 ti today xd

[graceful burrow]

Why would you trust seller benches

Those are worthless

[tepid bolt]

The more gpus come out the more I'm glad I decided to just buy last gen.

[full fossil]

i mean tbf returnal is pretty odd in terms of optimization so i'd cut it at least a little bit of slack

[ashen zodiac]

yea, i'd buy a 1060 6gb again in a heartbeat though. cheap, enough vram for most stuff, like for 1080p it's a great card still

[tepid bolt]

The 4060ti performs like a 3070 at best.

[full fossil]

i mean depends on the game

[slim barn]

All these benches i'm seeing making the 4060Ti look like a rebranded 3060Ti.

[ashen zodiac]

i mainly play Overwatch but i've ran BeamNG well on it as well, so..

[full fossil]

for stuff like 2021 and older, 1060 6gb will be 100% fine. but anything newer than that, you're gonna run into issues even at low settings if its not an esports game

[knotty oracle]

@ashen zodiac maybe but game devs nowadays are intentionally making their games badly optimized i swear lol

[full fossil]

your warzones, your overwatches, your sieges will run fine on a 1060 6gb but if you're looking to play heavier stuff, you'll be stuck at like 1080p low, maybe medium if you're lucky, barely being able to hit above ~45fps

[ashen zodiac]

Overwatch 2 is effectively the same engine etc af Overwatch 1 so it runs well on even a 1050 if you put it on low. you could even get away with a 1030 lmao

[full fossil]

overwatch 2 isnt really a modern game though

[knotty oracle]

that's true games like overwatch run pretty well one those cards

[graceful burrow]

Do a few night maps really justify a 2

[full fossil]

it's pretty much just the second season of overwatch, no matter how much they try to spin it off as a sequel

[ashen zodiac]

i play it on low on my 1060 6gb (80% power limit) laptop, and i'm limited by my 7700HQ that has turboboost off to keep thermals under control, even so it runs at 120fps all day lmfao

[full fossil]

its just like how fortnite didnt call itself fortnite 2, they called itself chapter 2 because while there was some more content, it was still 100% the same game

[full fossil]

effectively 2016 game runs on 2016 gaming laptop hardware what a shocker

[tepid bolt]

Does screwing over the current player base to add more micro transactions justify a 2

[full fossil]

lolno

yes

[graceful burrow]

Yez

[full fossil]

i quit ow like a year ago and got back into r6 siege, i dont regret it

[ashen zodiac]

yea i would have liked Overwatch to not get the "2" label. just an update with the new UI would have been enough

[graceful burrow]

From one bad game made by a shitty money grubbing company to the next

[ashen zodiac]

i love Overwatch for the characters. Kiriko is a really fun character to play, as is DVA.

[full fossil]

widowmaker or bust tho

[slim barn]

I don't see a F2P game having micro transactions as a bad thing. They need to pay for staff and servers somehow.

[full fossil]

at least siege is actually engaging and ubisoft seemingly cares at least a lil bit about the community. activision just assaults their female employees until the work is finished

[ashen zodiac]

to be fair you never need to spend money on Overwatch. it's free to play, everything is able to be unlocked by playing except for skins that don't give you any advantage in battles

[graceful burrow]

When you gotta pay real money (or grind 50+ hours) for one character yeah it's pretty cringe

[full fossil]

im glad ubisoft didnt go the route of making r6 free. they just have free weekends sometimes

[ashen zodiac]

nothing they added is fun for me though except Kiriko which i got for free cuz i owned Overwatch 1

[full fossil]

if r6 was free, it'd be flooded with hackers and toxic kiddies. keeping it paid is a godsend and despite hating ubisoft, i gotta praise em for that

[graceful burrow]

And you still gotta grind like a motherfucker to get a single character

[full fossil]

i started playing ow in 2017 on xbox, then i switched over to pc in 2018, grinded it until early 2022 when it was getting boring, switched to r6

[timid meadow]

Fuck blizzard. Ill say it as often as Bionic shits on windows. I hate that Bobby kotiks slimy little self, and im pissed that the pve that will come to the game is gunna be 1/3 of what we wanted it to be. Glorified archives that we asked for 3 years ago but was told we werent getting because they were working on a new game. One that they killed. Thus killing the game for 3+ years for nothing but a battlepass

[full fossil]

i mean only if you're bad at the game, you do realise you get more renown the more you do shit?

do more shit, you end up grinding less overall

[graceful burrow]

Might be different now because I played on launch but it was dogshit progression

[timid meadow]

And i hate myself that ill play it and enjoy it once a month. Not paying another penny tho

[full fossil]

progression is better now. they implemented a battle pass which is kinda shitty but they do give you tons of renown and battle point boosters

[timid meadow]

I bought 2 battlepasses thinking i was supporting dev on a whole new game

[full fossil]

it makes progression feel a lot easier, despite still paying for a battle pass.

[graceful burrow]

Still not worth my time
All of ubisoft multiplayer games have the same problem

[full fossil]

riders republic is really underlooked in my eyes

its a great game. but its horrible pc optimization went under the radar and the same with grinding. its a ubisoft game nobody cares about lmao

geforce now 4080 tier barely being able to hold 60fps in a mass race at 1080p medium is horribly laughable for a 2021 game

looking at the ingame framerate graph was killing me man

fuck that game. shit was running at 50fps on a 5700xt + i5 11400f at 1080p low

the grinding in the game is terrible too

you have to accumulate at least 20-30 hours in the game before you get shit that's actually worth using

[full fossil]

they also killed off tony hawk's pro skater 3+4

so they've killed off the franchise.... 3 times now?

[timid meadow]

They didnt kill the franchise. Ow2 cant die for a long time. Itll just stay a niche title.

[graceful burrow]

Tbf the franchise needed killing after robomodo took over

[timid meadow]

Hero missions will be cool, just not what we were promised

[full fossil]

robomodo needed killing, not thps

[graceful burrow]

We're talking about thps

[graceful burrow]

Couldnt have one without the other unfort

[plain dome]

Riders Republic my beloved

[full fossil]

they killed off the franchise with the board games, then killed it off with pro skater hd and pro skater 5, then killed it off by cancelling 3+4 thanks to the vv blizz merger

[plain dome]

My FPS seems to be fine on it so I’m not sure where <60fps in a mass race is coming from

I get between 90 to 150 on a 3070 in a mass race

[full fossil]

i just dont think my pc that is above ubisoft's "4k recommended" spec should be hitting 50fps in a mass race

[full fossil]

i mean tbf gfn, even on the 4080 tier is very uhhhhhh... it has a weak ass cpu

the normal tier gets you 4c8t coffee lake. 4080 tier gets you 8c8t coffee lake iirc

[full fossil]

i mean tbf, judging by ur pcpp list, you have a 3800x so that isnt surprising, riders republic is very cpu bound

[plain dome]

3800x?

[full fossil]

oh fucking uhhhhh i cant remember shit from 10 seconds ago uhhhhh 5700g

[plain dome]

idk im a lil tired, had a 3 hour long exam today

[plain dome]

[plain dome]

Can’t be that bad

[full fossil]

but there is no fucking way my 11400f should be getting nearly half that fps, even with a weaker gpu and cpu

[full fossil]

mate i finished the exam in an hour, had time to get a nap after it

[plain dome]

Nice

[full fossil]

exam time is vastly overestimated. had a 2 hour long business exam yesterday that took everyone doing it about 30-45 minutes to complete

so legit it's just extra sleep

head down on my desk, sleepy time

[plain dome]

Well my father teaches gcse comp sci so I’ll tell him it’s too easy

Hell now that i think of it he did say the other day it was really fucking easy

[full fossil]

all of my exams have been easy, done zero revising so far

im not aiming for high grades. all i need to do a computer engineering course at college is 5 grade 4s in my exams. so i just need to at least pass 5 gcses and im sorted

aiming for the bare minimum for my maths and english

[plain dome]

Ah I getcha

I’m not necessarily aiming for top grades but I’m not aiming for bare minimum either

[wispy marsh]

[full fossil]

i know this seems weird, but im not going to do computer engineering in college in order to pursue it as a career

i'm doing it because i like learning about it

[full fossil]

huh test

[plain dome]

If you enjoy compsci and you’re good at it it’s just a free gsce so

[full fossil]

yeah

thats why i also chose IT and business studies. all free gcses

[plain dome]

My school doesn’t do either of those

[finite cloud]

HUH TEST

[full fossil]

was gonna pick geography because that shit's easy as fuck but as soon as you were able to start picking your subjects, everyone picked geography

Ew geography

[full fossil]

i couldnt pick geography at all because it was immediately taken

[plain dome]

It’s easy but you have to write fast, I can’t do that

[full fossil]

ew i know but that is the freest of free gcses at the end of the day

apparently history is a free gcse aswell

[plain dome]

From what I’ve done so far it seems pretty free

[neon mesa]

4060ti perf is absolute garbo
only thing i applaud is the 150w usage

that's 30w lower than my 3060

the 4060ti is effectively a 4060 with the AD106 die

[dreamy forum]

the question is should I wait for a 4090ti or just build a 4090 PC right now

[long briar]

wait

[fossil dirge]

I’m going to plan to build a PC with a 4080

[long briar]

4090 is technically alr a cut down ada 102

[fossil dirge]

Isn’t the 4090 expensive?

[graceful burrow]

Wait until the 5090
And then when you ask again we'll tell you to wait for the 6090 (it's just around the corner)

[fossil dirge]

I know it’s the same for the 4080 since it’s expensive

[neon mesa]

not really a cut down, a 90 card is always a 102 die nowadays

because the AD100 one is for the A100 datacenter card

wait no, i mean for their upcoming A100 replacement
A100 uses ampere

[long briar]

RTX 6000 Ada also uses a AD102.

it has more of basically everything

[hollow pulsar]

Alright Business/IT folks. I have a few terms that I'm looking to classify, but I don't know what these terms classify in to.
For example, If I said "snake, dragon, music, armor", you might classify these as "Things with scales".
Subject Matter Expert
Business Sponsor
It Sponsor
Resource Manager
Project Manager
...what might these be classified as? Business roles? Something else?

My google-fu is severely lacking.

[neon mesa]

huh there is actually no AD100
the replacement for A100 is not Ada
but hopper architecture

[long briar]

it's wack.

[neon mesa]

not really wack for datacenters
there was volta between ampere and turing

[long briar]

I meant that 4090 uses a cut down AD102.

[brave lodge]

can someone help describe to me the feel of carbon fiber, brass, and fr4 plates for keebs

[long briar]

Quadro 6000 Ada uses AD102 and has more cuda, more TMU, more tensor cores, etc.

looking to get a new one preferably wirless

[edgy moss]

You could also look for some HD 6xx’s

[indigo plume]

well I already ordere th 560s

[edgy moss]

Ah

[finite cloud]

for how much?

[edgy moss]

Well at least get a DAC if you haven’t bought one already

[finite cloud]

they're a good pair of headphones you'll probably like em

[finite cloud]

cant use a dac if you dont have an amp

[indigo plume]

the 6xx a bit pricy

560s should be good enough for what I do mostly for gaming and video watching

[finite cloud]

Yeah they'll be good for that

[indigo plume]

I dont want to spend like 400+

[finite cloud]

You don't need to. Good audio can be had for very little

[indigo plume]

idk what dac even is

is it like a audio mixer or somthing

[finite cloud]

its what turns your computers signal into sound. usb to aux

every device that has a headphone jack has one

[indigo plume]

I see

good to know

[sonic spruce]

3D mark is on sale, is it good deal now

Also what is 3d mark for?

[finite cloud]

how much is it?

[deep thicket]

gpu benchmark

[sonic spruce]

Ok thx

[sonic spruce]

8.74 usd

[finite cloud]

yeah thats a pretty good deal

[teal estuary]

you can get a good enough ampdac for ~$100

[indigo plume]

looking for top of the line model

[full fossil]

∆

[indigo plume]

for a mouse

[finite cloud]

Okay then I guess Logitech MX Master

[teal estuary]

i say good enough for $100, as im using a $450 (more now) schiit stack

[indigo plume]

is that a newer model

[gilded quest]

I have a $100 fiio amp/DAC combo and it's fantastic

[indigo plume]

i didnt even know that existed lol

[teal estuary]

i like schiit, this is probably good enough, https://www.schiit.com/products/fulla-2

[finite cloud]

i paid like $150 for mine. its a JDS Labs stack

[finite cloud]

good schiit

[teal estuary]

the FiiO E10k is also fine

[deep thicket]

also can you reocmmend me any free gpu benchmark software?
something opensource would be very good

[slim barn]

Logitech MX Masters are ace. Used them for years and will get another when needed. Not cheap or for left handers though.

[finite cloud]

3Dmark is $8 right now id recommend that

[stray apex]

Isn't 3dmark timespy free

[teal estuary]

Schiit's hel is also good if you want that over the fulla

[finite cloud]

is it? didnt know that

[gilded quest]

I don't think Schiit did USB C when I was buying

[finite cloud]

nah they started that recently

[teal estuary]

all of my schiit stuff is micro-b

its pretty recent that they moved to USB-C

[finite cloud]

at least you dont have to use type b

[gilded quest]

Yeah that immediately removed Schiit as an option for me 2 years ago

I'd get Schiit now tho

[teal estuary]

i had a full size type-b bifrost 1

[faint schooner]

what would be a good channel to discuss encoders (nvenc / toolbox / x265 / qsv)?

[indigo plume]

I thought g pro wireless was their top model lol

[finite cloud]

my atom dac uses full sized b

[gilded quest]

I think I have a fiio K3?

[finite cloud]

i mean yeah thats their top end gaming model but the master is their top end non gaming mice

[teal estuary]

could also just get a G502 and be done with it

[gilded quest]

GPXSL is the top end gaming model

[finite cloud]

that too. its decent

[indigo plume]

g502 has double click issue

ive had 2 of them

[finite cloud]

i have a Fiio BTR3K but i use that for portable stuff

[teal estuary]

only 2?

[slim barn]

Did like the MX Revolution though for the docking station.

[gilded quest]

I just use some random ass USB C dongle for mobile. It's good enough, but a little muddy

[finite cloud]

i use the apple one for portable stuff as well but thats for wired

[gilded quest]

Sadly my fiio DAC doesn't work with my phone

[full fossil]

hello

[gilded quest]

I tried it in driver and driverless modes

No dice

[full fossil]

guys what do you suggest on picking for gaming im from sweden the prices may differ so this is my build https://komponentkoll.se/bygg/Auvkt and i am wondering should i go for the 7900 xtx or the 4090??

[gilded quest]

If you can afford the 4090 get 4090

[full fossil]

but in general

what do you think is better and how is the build right now ?

[gilded quest]

4090 is objectively more powerful

[full fossil]

like is there a big margin that i can actually see and that makes the xtx look bit slower than the 4090?

in gaming wise

[gilded quest]

Go watch some reviews

[full fossil]

you know any trusted ones ?

[tired glade]

Until 4090 ti and 7990xtx release

[gilded quest]

User benchmark 100%

Followed by toms hardware 2080ti article "just buy it"

[tired glade]

YouTubers best source of information

Is 2080 ti still the best gpu on user benchmark?

[gilded quest]

Bruh

[heavy swan]

is a lapel mic a good idea for pc?

it has a 3.5mm jack

[slim barn]

It'll work if that's what you mean?

[heavy swan]

i mean should I buy the sennheiser CX300s or just get a good lapel mic for the same price?

i already have earbuds but the microphone doesn't work

[slim barn]

Personal preference but I would always prefer a headset with mic.

[heavy swan]

oh they are earbuds

[winged yarrow]

I prefer a mic on a stand

[teal estuary]

separate mic ftw

[winged yarrow]

With the stand attached to something that's not your desk

The more you can bang on your desk without the mic picking it up the better

[heavy swan]

out of budget for me unfortunately, still gotta buy a 1440p monitor

[winged yarrow]

What's your budget?

[heavy swan]

like 50 euros, the cheaper the better

i know there are good mic for under that but I need something that doesnt go on my desk

[winged yarrow]

So not even this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Microphones-Snowball-iCE-Microphone/dp/B014PYGTUQ/

[heavy swan]

not really no, thats why I wanted either a lapel mic or earbuds

my desk isnt that big and then theres books and the computer and the monitor

[slim barn]

What about one on a mount? Could be moved away when not in use.

Mind you. Not for 50 Euro.

[winged yarrow]

It's a little above but it would be worth it

[heavy swan]

around 75 euros no?

i dont really use my mic professionally, just for some games and talking to friends

would a lapel mic suffice?

[winged yarrow]

imo no but you do you

[heavy swan]

hmm alright

[slim barn]

I'd suggest a wireless headset in that case.

[winged yarrow]

I'm a stickler for audio quality personally, even though it is just in gaming, it's nice to hear people really clearly when you're talking.

[heavy swan]

the only microphone I can get on local stores is the razer seirin mini but from what ive seen razer isn't that good

or am i wrong?

[heavy swan]

i mean, isnt a lapel mic what they use in live shows or even some youtubers?

or is it different

[winged yarrow]

Yeah you've got a point there

[slim barn]

No online stores such as Amazon?

[heavy swan]

im gonna give the lapel mic a shot and if it doesn't work ill return it and buy the blue one

[heavy swan]

i would prefer local stores but if its absolutely needed then yeah, i could prob buy it on an online store

[tidal minnow]

So the 4060ti is here...
B r u h
I didn't even have a bar of expectations and...

Why?????

[faint schooner]

whats the tl:dr on the 4060ti

[graceful burrow]

Bad

[chrome vector]

Only 5% better than the 3060ti in 1440p, still with only 8gb of VRAM which was barely enough for 1440p then, it's completely inadequate now

[graceful burrow]

Buy a 3060ti instead

Buy a 6700xt instead instead tbh

[chrome vector]

I'm really happy I got my EVGA 3090 ti when I did.

I originally was going with a 3060ti until the EVGA announcement

[lethal copper]

I got a 7900xt to replace an EVGA 2080 super :D

I wonder how usable streaming to steam deck could be over 100mbps internet?

Oh wait now that I think of it streaming at home should be really usable since I get almost 1gbit internal

[young root]

bro the 4060 ti is 500$

the 6900xt can be had new for 600

[graceful burrow]

400*

The 16gb 4060ti (unreleased as of yet) will be 500 usd

[young root]

that's what i was referring to

[graceful burrow]

You gotta specify mayne

[young root]

the 6800xt is available new for like 480? it's around there

it's actually unbelievable

[tender geyser]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asrocks-first-steel-legend-gpu-has-been-leaked

who at asrock cleared this

[young root]

has arock ever made a good looking card?

the taichi is the most ugly card i've ever seen

[tender geyser]

eh

[young root]

i've really come around from xfx to power color, red devil and hellhound go hard

[vapid smelt]

4060ti is such an amazing card

[young root]

my 6950xt red devil was larger than my 7900xt

[polar fern]

“Leaked” uh huh

[south stone]

Daaaaaamn, the reviews are hillarious this time.

But are we surprised? If no one said a thing we'd be having a 4080 ("4070ti") 12gb.

[polar fern]

4090 64 gig when

[young root]

the 4080 i still find funny

[south stone]

So their 4090 is what the 4080 ti should've been.
The 4080 is what the 4070 ti should've been.
The 4070 ti is what the 4070 should've been.
And the 4060 ti is what the 4050 ti should've been.

[young root]

titan ada is going to be 4k at this point

[south stone]

A 4060 ti at $250-299 (renamed as 4050 ti) would've been pretty great.

[young root]

and be equal to the 4090

250$ for the 8gb 4060 ti would be been killer

what was the 6600xt at launch?

[south stone]

I mean, it's still pretty awful value, I keep repeating the same thing: we have 3070/3070ti for $200/250 respectively.

Heck, you can find 3090's for $400, and 6900xt's for $350. (In ARGENTINA)

[young root]

my 7900xt was 740$

50$ more than the 6950 xt i had

i bought a 1080 ti for 165$, and it's amazing

[faint schooner]

Ive@got a 4090 till end of June

And all I've done is bench mark video encoding

[young root]

yeah

[south stone]

Wasn't the 3070 like the same performance as the 2080 ti?
4070 should've been, first of all, a bit more ram-my, then just trade blows with the 3090 ti.

[thick agate]

nah

3090ti is a higher tier card than a 2080 ti, a 3090 ti should be treated as a titan like card

the 4070 shouldev been towards a 3080ti ish

and a 3090 ti is a more recent card, then the regular 3000 series

[tired glade]

We will see what will be 4090 ti

[modern terrace]

hard to imagine

[rugged bridge]

hello world

[rugged bridge]

Ain't no way that worked

[tired glade]

Nice

[finite cloud]

Oh yes it does

[tacit falcon]

Yes

[cold fog]

#1110659136695316551

[near granite]

if my textures are not loading in games, could it be a processor issue?

[rugged bridge]

lol this is actually kinda cool

I wonder how long until discord patches it kek

[shadow badge]

Please do not forget to drink your dihydrogen monoxide out of your LTT water bottle, it is important

Not doing so will result in death

[modern terrace]

what the hell, how did you get that huge text

[fossil frost]

patches out a feature? they purposely added it in

[jaunty compass]

woah

[fossil frost]

what IS going to happen is that people are gonna abuse it, and LTT are gonna turn it off on the server

[rugged bridge]

Fair enough

[rugged bridge]

Yeah..

• First item
• Second item
• Third item
• Fourth item

Oh sick that works as well

My favorite search engine is Duck Duck Go.

K good they didn't add that. That would only cause choas

[midnight idol]

moment

[pulsar orbit]

Is there a channel that has to do with bluetooth because i got a question about it?

[young root]

no

[rugged bridge]

Just ask in tech chat

Or google it lol

[winged yarrow]

Hmm

Just checking it wasn't because of your dot XD funny I bet it's a server setting specifically

[tidal minnow]

#hellothere

[winged yarrow]

Hello.

What if we all just talked with headers, making the public chat like a rocky mountain of text rather than a stream?

[modern terrace]

how do i type with headers

[fossil frost]

things like this are the reason the mods are just gonna disable markdown in public chat

[winged yarrow]

ya do the hashtags and a space and then the words like # the words

Honestly, if they have the option to disable it server-wide they definitely should.

[modern terrace]

that's actually sick

[finite cloud]

the poor mods today

[winged yarrow]

They had a taste of it a week ago, now it's back.

[cold fog]

Hdmi arc or optic

[winged yarrow]

I hope they survive.

[cold fog]

?

[winged yarrow]

ARC

[cold fog]

Ok

Jbl sb170 ok?

[winged yarrow]

From the google search I did, which was titled "hdmi arc or optical which is best":

HDMI ARC supports modern sound technologies such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, and uncompressed audio up to 7.1 channels. Digital Optical, on the other side, only supports Dolby Digital and up to 5.1 channels of uncompressed audio. So, HDMI ARC, on the other hand, is a clear winner.

[fossil frost]

arc is better if you can get it, but, you arent really losing out on much sound quality if you only have optical, for most setups, you wont notice the difference

[mild elm]

hello

[faint schooner]

Earc

[full fossil]

hi

[faint schooner]

Not old arc

[winged yarrow]

With over 162 reviews, and above a 4.5 star rating, this should do.

[wooden nymph]

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

[winged yarrow]

Pretty gut

[thick agate]

testing

[winged yarrow]

You?

[wooden nymph]

Kinda crazy with the 100K PC build. lol

This hashtag thing is kinda OP ngl

[winged yarrow]

100K is too much to spend on a PC.

[wooden nymph]

agreed it is

[winged yarrow]

Unless it's for training AIs

[wooden nymph]

K, I'm done using the hashtag lol

[winged yarrow]

Fair enough

[thick agate]

i wouldev loved to see a RX 7900 XTX and a 4090 in the same table, like being able to switch and maybe a arc 770, for 100k im sure someone could make it happen

[shy geyser]

yo guys

anyone know if u could get banned on snapchat for spoofing location?

[thick agate]

If you think its wrong and need to ask, then dont do it

[winged yarrow]

That's a cool sounding concept

[formal wadi]

my snapchat location is the moon personally

[winged yarrow]

You'd have to check their ToS

[thick agate]

yeah maybe a thread ripper cpu and a intel 13900KS

[shy geyser]

moreso asking if they could detect it also wtf is going on with fonts 🤣

[thick agate]

to go with those lol, 100k can make alot happen

[winged yarrow]

wym with the fonts?

[tepid jasper]

me on mobile unable to see why the hell yall typing like this

[thick agate]

**hm? **

[winged yarrow]

✨

[wooden nymph]

They are using the hashtag and space and text

[jaunty compass]

Skill issue

[tepid jasper]

yes i can see that
