[white ruin]

any suggestions on keycaps that i should buy? im going to build a keyboard with the yunzii ciy tester 68 and gateron g pro 2.0 switches red

[hazy canyon]

Whats the keyboard shortcut to get into gpu setings and stuff for Nvidia it was Crtl + something i think

[undone inlet]

i alost started a house fire
i was cooking
when the oil droped
and it started a huge fire ball
luckily it got auto extinguished

[alpine delta]

Hey guys I wanna know what mouse to get, Should i get the razer atheris?

It’s £20 for me on Amazon at the moment

[elfin solar]

Honestly imo the most important thing about a mouse is how well it fits your grip. Then weight then sensor. If it’s on Amazon you can always return it.

[graceful burrow]

You know the best thing about razer mice

[alpine delta]

Yeah it’s an ergonomic mouse

And I’m kind of looking into that type of category

[graceful burrow]

It's so easy to just
Choose a non-razer mouse instead

[alpine delta]

Yes except the mouse is usually going for 2x the price

And I want a wireless mouse

[neon mesa]

@vapid smelt

i had to do screw hunting for solid 15 minute as i drop my only spare m.2 screw

[graceful burrow]

[modest jackal]

[minor shoal]

why do you need a 2TB C drive

[modest jackal]

adobe

[minor shoal]

that's fair personally i like having my windows installation be as clean as humanly possible so i just put my windows on a small 250GB SSD and then install programs on a 2TB NVMe

my old pc's C drive was horribly bloated

[modest jackal]

are you skiping over the 2 8tb drives that 6tb each isnt used

at all?

[hollow knot]

h

[elder thorn]

Yo

[white ruin]

im buidling budget mate

im not rich enough to spend 500 on a keyboard 💀

[wispy marsh]

2TB feels like the sweet spot

[wispy marsh]

Aliexpress keycaps for $30/set

[white ruin]

aight bro

[minor shoal]

1000 USD for 8TB

that's fucking nuts

you could literally buy 4 2TB ones and pay like HALF wtf is that price dude

[dreamy rose]

yea but you are taking up 4 slots and they aren't as dense as a single 8TB. this will go down in price once big chips get cheaper dw.

[wispy marsh]

Except that the 8TB was released in 2020 at $1500

This is technically priced-down

[minor shoal]

I would rather spend 520 USD for 4TB NVMes and then use some of the other 480 USD for a motherboard that supports 4 NVMes, which there are plenty of

[dreamy rose]

for sure.

[minor shoal]

this would also ensure upgradability in the future + you are probably getting a lot of other features by getting a higher end motherboard

[dreamy rose]

ok but what if you want MORE storage? you are takin up all the slots are you not?

[dusty rune]

pcie adapter

[minor shoal]

Then I'd buy a normal SATA SSD or if it's cold storage a big HDD

imo NVMes shouldn't be used for storage in the same way HDDs do

[dusty rune]

y not

[minor shoal]

the whole appeal of them (for me) is that they are fast and allow e.g. games to load much faster

I mainly use NVMes to install things on, not to store

[dusty rune]

thats such a bad example though

[past kernel]

games that grow larger and larger each passing quarter, that is

[minor shoal]

How so?

[dusty rune]

you could have given a way better one, like video editing

[dreamy rose]

you also don't need to shit yourself as much when moving your system. theres that

[minor shoal]

I mean... it literally takes seconds to unscrew and HDD and put it into another system but yeah they are more portable that's true

[past kernel]

yeah, i can personally relate to that

[minor shoal]

that example makes the exact same point as mine did

[dreamy rose]

no neec with an SSD

[minor shoal]

i just agreed with you lol

[manic torrent]

.... you don't need more storage. not locally.

if you need bulk storage, get a NAS.

[minor shoal]

agree ^

NAS are great

[past kernel]

unrelated but, its crazy how my first ssd was 64gb, and now im throwing in a 2tb one into my latest build

[dreamy rose]

some people dont wanna do that.

[minor shoal]

hopefully NVMes can reach that level soon-ish 🙏 (in terms of price i mean)

[past kernel]

storage has leaped massively in the past 10 years

[dreamy rose]

i havent even gotten 1TB of SSD Storage yet.

[past kernel]

honestly, it probably wouldve costed the same as back then

[manic torrent]

you can do all sorts of things. doesn't make it sensible.

[past kernel]

couldn't put my word on it but ssds, especially the earlier ones, were a bombshell

[manic torrent]

I don't use disk storage for anything except surveillance footage

[minor shoal]

I saw this PCIe adapter thing that could hold 8 NVMes, but the price of the adapter itself was like 700 USD if i remember correctly. Now imagine filling that up with 8 8TB NVMes. 8700 USD 💩

[dreamy rose]

theres very little reason to actually have disk storage in a PC anymore.

[minor shoal]

Why?

[manic torrent]

yep. basically zero.

[manic torrent]

because ssds are cheap and better.

[dreamy rose]

look at the specs for rachet and clank.

[minor shoal]

oh shit that's coming out in 5 days

[dreamy rose]

this is where games are headed

SSD reccomended.

[wispy marsh]

But, if you repurpose an old pc as a local fileserver.... there is more than zero reasons to fill it up with four 8TB modules

[past kernel]

death of consumer hard drives has been on the wall for a while now

[dreamy rose]

at lowest

[manic torrent]

yeah but then it is a nas, and a different use case

[minor shoal]

I know but you said it yourself you don't want a NAS. So if you wanted a lot of storage for media such as music, movies, series etc, which don't require high speeds, you could either:
A) Buy 1 20TB HDD or similar
B) Buy a couple SSDs

Option A is without a doubt the cheapest

[manic torrent]

..... wtf

[minor shoal]

In the end it obviously depends on what your specific needs are but in my opinion HDDs are still useful

[manic torrent]

music?

[wispy marsh]

Let's say I like semantics.

[minor shoal]

yes?

[wispy marsh]

This can still be a PC :D

[minor shoal]

Some people download music, guy

[manic torrent]

.... and it takes more than $fuckall space?

also wtf 120tb hdd.

[past kernel]

20tb for music lol

[dreamy rose]

didnt say i didnt wanna build one. a NAS would be cool. its just some wouldnt wanna build one for whatever reason they say they have, valid or not.

[minor shoal]

Try and zoom a bit out and read the entire message. And no I didn't say 120TB I said one 20TB drive.

[minor shoal]

You are completely missing the point

[past kernel]

i mean yeah, no harm in a single drive

[dreamy rose]

he means a single 20TB drive

[manic torrent]

what a stupid waste of time

[minor shoal]

😂

[manic torrent]

honestly, that's an absolutely shit setup

[minor shoal]

What are you even talking about? lmfao

This is basically what I was trying to get at

[dreamy rose]

and you must be?

[past kernel]

tape is great but i can appreciate that it also costs a ton for drives and requires knowhow

[minor shoal]

I personally got 5TB of movies, 7TB of series and 200 GB of music stored on one HDD. I don't acces these files that much so why would I buy multiple SSDs for this 🤷‍♂️

[indigo plume]

am im doing somthing wrong in some game i only get 100 fps with xtx on 1440p

[dreamy rose]

SPY!

[indigo plume]

thought with xtx would max out frames most of times

at 144

[minor shoal]

what game?

[dreamy rose]

game, settings?

[indigo plume]

was playing yakuza like a dragon and only got 100 fps

[minor shoal]

in my experience volumetric fog takes up a lot of resources and really doesnt add much to the graphics

so if you hvae the option to lower that then i'd recommend doing it

[crude jasper]

what CPU @indigo plume

[indigo plume]

7600x

[crude jasper]

what ram

[indigo plume]

some g skill 6000 speed

[manic torrent]

No, tape is dead, more or less.

[minor shoal]

what about other games how well do they run? @indigo plume

[past kernel]

i beg to differ

for archiving its the best

[indigo plume]

played cyberpunk and got like 60-70ish

[minor shoal]

Tape storage lasts longer than HDDs, right? at least that's what I've heard

[indigo plume]

with rt

[minor shoal]

yeah well cyberpunk is about as well optimized as dogshit from your local park

[past kernel]

about 20 years or longer depending on gen and conditions

[indigo plume]

I thought this was a card that ran 60 fps at 4k

so shouldnt it run most games better tan what im getting

[past kernel]

and as long as you dont cycle the tape alot either

[indigo plume]

for 1440p

[manic torrent]

yes and no. hdd storage is near line and can be moved around

[manic torrent]

for stuff you don't care at all when the hdd dies.

[minor shoal]

it seems like it should and the yakuza games are not very demanding so it is a little weird that you're getting 100 FPS. I'm getting more than that with a 6950XT in yakuza like a dragon

[minor shoal]

this is why backups are a thing though

[manic torrent]

I literally work at a cyber security company specialising in backup.

I'll let you in on a trade secret... we have 0 tapes.

[minor shoal]

well I guess since you don't have it, it must mean it isn't used anywhere in the world 👏

[past kernel]

im not a company though

[wispy marsh]

Just like our sponsor, BackBlaze?

Tired of managing data? Lost your backups last night? Well, BackBlaze has you covered! Click on the link below...

[manic torrent]

not at all what I said, was it.

[past kernel]

this isn't necessarily about the capacity of it, or speeds, its about longevity of that media

[minor shoal]

dont know, don't read many of your messages

[manic torrent]

lol, ironically no - we do complete managed service

[past kernel]

and it taking up the least space possible is a massive plus

[manic torrent]

uhhhhh wut

[wispy marsh]

And you refund your customers the cost of the medium if they ship you back the HDD

[manic torrent]

tapes need to be physically moved around.

[wispy marsh]

[past kernel]

if i store that data on a hard drive it's gonna have to be pretty well protected because they are WAY more prone

not saying you can throw tapes at a wall but you get my point

[manic torrent]

comparing the raw media is pointless, because that isn't how you use them.

[wispy marsh]

(That's one of backblaze's selling points- you pay for your data and not the medium)

[past kernel]

im not uploading that data

its a ton of family stuff id really rather not have to worry of murphys law

[manic torrent]

using tapes on a personal backup is hilarious. I mean, obviously it works, but ugh.

[wispy marsh]

Not really

[past kernel]

this isn't just some drive to dump half finished projects on

this data needs to be preserved for decades, ideally

[minor shoal]

what do you need to preserve for decades what are you not telling us here

criminal activities? 👀

[manic torrent]

honestly, data formats are more of a concern than physical media

[past kernel]

uhh, my entire familys history on digital media...

[wispy marsh]

If you own a kinda large company, let's say you're Mr. Gates. Having a tape archive of your replicable success would help a lot in case something happens to your company.

[manic torrent]

lol not really

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

also archival is not the same as backup

[past kernel]

^^^^

[manic torrent]

data archiving is a very important seperate thing

tape is bad for both.

[wispy marsh]

That's why I mentioned tape archives

[past kernel]

it literally has the longest lifespan for any media that you can get within reason

[manic torrent]

tapes require you to have the physical tape drive, the physical tape, a machine with the correc tinterface, AND the correct software.

[wispy marsh]

I read that M.Disc has a lifespan of a century

[minor shoal]

M.Disc?

[manic torrent]

... which ignores literally all other factors.

[wispy marsh]

M-Disc*

[past kernel]

you dont need a separate machine

[manic torrent]

... you need A machine.

if it's a scsi drive, you need a machine with a scsi interface

[minor shoal]

as in CDs? are they a special type of CDs or is the technical name for CDs "M-Disc"?

[past kernel]

which i would need anyway

[manic torrent]

it needs drivers, it needs software.

[past kernel]

yeah thats for like lto3 and below

which isnt worth using anyways for various reasons

[wispy marsh]

CDs are CDs, DVDs are DVDs, blu-rays are blu-rays, M-Discs are M-Discs

[manic torrent]

also your contention that online backups are somehow no good? what the fuck my dude.

[wispy marsh]

You can use M-Discs as read-only DVDs or blu-rays

[past kernel]

i never said they weren't good

[manic torrent]

I garauntee you your online backups are safer than your single tape stored wherever

[minor shoal]

i think he meant that he didnt like having e.g. private photos stored online

[past kernel]

i said they arent appropriate for my use case

[wispy marsh]

I assume it's because cargo cult secrets are best kept offline

[manic torrent]

mate I built a fucking cracking control tower out of bamboo

[minor shoal]

he can't upload the list of people he has killed otherwise he will be caught that's why tape is better

[past kernel]

yeah i wish it was that interesting

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

Unless there's unrelated issues you haven't even remotely touched on? yeah nah.

[wispy marsh]

Ohhh public chat never fails to make me laugh at times

[manic torrent]

If it's your family history of how they were nazis that fled persecution at the end of WW2? yeah I get it.

[past kernel]

[minor shoal]

Ohh cool

[past kernel]

so thats one of a few reasons why it needs to last

[wispy marsh]

Interesting

[past kernel]

yep

[manic torrent]

In 2022, the NIST Interagency Report NIST IR 8387[20](Page 12), stated that M-Disc is an acceptable archival format rated for up to 100 years+.

Linear Tape-Open (LTO) is rated for up to 30 years in a climate-controlled environment and is currently in use by most industries, including broadcast and corporate digital data systems, with up to 45 TB (40.92 TiB) of compressed storage per cartridge on LTO's 9th generation.

obv no but he screams a lot, but he does good content that make me laugh a lot sometimes, like his twitch higlights content in yt

do you mean your microphone or headset

Hey guys weird question, but my mobo has 8 pin plus 4 for cpu. when i plug the 8 pc works and everything, but when i plug the remaining 4 it doesn’t power on i just hear a tick and doesn’t power on.

any ideas?

[hollow wasp]

i can hear the coil whine while wearing headset but only when i get very high fps like 1000fps and also while i am in vc in discord people can hear the coil whine

[past egret]

helps if you say what board it is

[full fossil]

z690 aorus elite Ax ddr4

running i7 12700k & tried i5 12600k

[mint yacht]

What PSU do you have?

[full fossil]

850w evga supernova

[mint yacht]

Interesting if it has an extra 4 pin EPS connector

In fact, what does the connector you're trying to plug in say on it? The 4 pin one, I mean

[full fossil]

Honestly i haven’t even tried to see if there is any writing

It’s right beside it, so 4x4 connected & then 2x2 right beside it

I’m using a full you know CPU connected for the 8, then using the split cpu which = 8 i’m just using half of it on the other.

[mint yacht]

Is it plugged into the correct socket on the PSU?

And is it the correct side of the 4+4 pin connector?

[full fossil]

Yep and yep

That’s why i’m confused honestly, like i’m not sure what’s causing it

or what the issue is

[past egret]

youre only supposed to plug either a 4+4 or a 2+2

[full fossil]

correct, i plugged the 4+4

[past egret]

have you tried only the 2+2?

[full fossil]

and the 2+2, right beside it

The 4+4 plugged only, pc boots and mobo turns on. but that leaves a 2+2 empty.

[past egret]

then leave it empty

they both do the same thing (technically)

[mint yacht]

The extra 4 pin exists just for supplemental power during XOC

So in your case, it would be extremely unnecessary

But, populating all power connectors on a board does look nice lol

[past egret]

i do agree with that

[full fossil]

correct, so i’m planning to OC and just the looks of it is very horrible

[mint yacht]

Does the 4+4 pin, when separated and plugged into the 4 pin socket work?

what annoys me is that cpu connectors and pcie connectors are not the same fucking connector...

[full fossil]

fixed it, turns out you cannot use a 4+4 that has a split in a 2+2. I just got a spare cable that only has a 4 it worked.

For some reason it doesn’t work, eitherway it’s fixed now

"For Desktop", bruh literally just a heatsink model.

[grim ether]

I got a 4tb

[grim ether]

It's an important distinction because removing the heatsink voids warranty

So if you buy the desktop one and have to take the heatsink off to put it in, kind of an L

[dreamy rose]

they could just have the one "laptop" version no?

[grim ether]

Totally

Trust me I don't disagree lol

I personally just think the heatsink shouldn't void warranty

And then they could just have both lol

[dreamy rose]

are we even getting to the point where we actually need big heatsinks on ssds? or is it just a reason to charge more money

[grim ether]

We are

PCIe 5 require heatsinks, as do some gen 4 drives

PCIe 3 and middle class PCIe 4 don't

[dreamy rose]

but not this one, they make em without no?

[grim ether]

Well it's a 7300/7000 ssd

So it probably needs some form of cooling
Most laptops have small ones inside for that

[dreamy rose]

20 dollars for a heatsink no thanks.

[grim ether]

U can get cheap ones that are fine

20 is too much imo

I know my 4Tb xs70 runs hot with the factory heatsink

Not too hot but it's always pretty warm

[dreamy rose]

its AUD, but still i could buy a lot of thermal paste and paste many components for that money

[neon mesa]

dedicated sinks overpriced

get generic heatsink per chip

[dreamy rose]

let that (Heat)Sink in

theyre a buck each

Also the pre included "thermal sticker" thing exists

No idea how effective that is tho

yea. dont we just only need that?

you'd have to flip the mattress to cut the other side

The mattress I have can be flipped

also it depends on the mattress - if it has metal bracing or cross connects of any kind, you're out of luck

What video is it where Linus has to eat cheez whiz?

why are you trying to install windows 10 after using 11

is it because you have nothing better to do with your time?

jeez, I just don't like windows 11

is that

so much that it's worth hours of fucking around?

what is it that you "don't like"

the ui
the fact that I can't put my taskbar at the top

Or will I have to change some shit in bios or whatever

safest option is to remove any ram setttings and make it stock, then change the ram

Thx bob, although I’m seriously a Pc noob… I’m 30 yrs old and almost lost my leg last summer and can’t walk anymore so I just got into computer shit like 2 months ago I bought my first pc and I’m still learning everything so I honestly have no idea what any of that meant brotha… anyway I could dumb that down a little more for me lol thx for the help btw

Anything really… just what exactly does bios do and how to use it so when I run into something that requires it I won’t be completely lost… and just basic shit like what I would have to do if I want to upgrade my ssd from 500gb to 2 tb which I would like to do in the next few months, and how to go about copying all my info over from the old ssd to a new one… and I have core i7 that’s like 2 generations old and I would like to update it to the newest one, I read somewhere that the i7 is better for gaming then the i9 so buying the most expensive shit isn’t always the right way to go…

Basically I just don’t want to be as clueless as I am now lol so any good beginners learning spots you guys could recommend would be tits

Does anyone here have experience with e-bikes

[pliant karma]

it do be that way side note I found out a weakness on the drivatars cause they dumb

if you ram into them full speed on a tight turn and trap them there they can't really get out but only do it on a one vs one race

but it has to have a good amount of trees or obstacles in their way

[dreamy rose]

exploit

[pliant karma]

lol I just know how to ram into the drivatars enough to make them spin out or hit stuff

and maybe my friends but that how I am when they race me...I will ram you off the track in some sort of way. Panda is ruthless

[manic torrent]

also even better, they REALLY REALLY want to be on their line. So forcing them out of it will mean they optimise getting back on it over everything else.

[pliant karma]

yessir lol I found that out fast

[manic torrent]

best way to slow down for a 90 degree turn is to ram full speed into a drivatar

nice I sorta use that tactic and just use them as crash barriers

i've refrained from outright not brakng but i occasionally use them if i do fuck it up by doing so too late

why do you wanna sign in with an apple account? how much more practical is it than signing in with a Steam, Discord or even Google account?

[indigo phoenix]

It's significantly more practical for me as someone who uses iCloud Keychain for most things. In the same way that people who use Google Auth find that more practical for them.

And while I have a Steam and Discord account, I'm not signed into them on the browser, nor would I want to use those as access points for my other accounts.

[dreamy rose]

and how many other people would be doing the same? give it a guess.

[indigo phoenix]

Maybe not the majority, but I'm sure plenty of people would if they had the option to. But the option does not exist.

Anyway, I'm just asking if it's something that's been proposed/addressed yet. Not suggesting you should use it if you don't want to.

[low rain]

Forza is like the only car game that I don’t use my wheel for because it doesn’t turn the full 900° and it just feels weird

[mossy pendant]

Holy shit look what I found

[indigo phoenix]

Does it work?

[dreamy rose]

nah that's not what i'm getting at, i don't have an apple account even. but its probably reasonable to assume that most if not everyone has a google, and the rest are backup options. dunno if they'd care much more to add apple accounts.

[mossy pendant]

I haven’t tried it yet

[pliant karma]

I'm torturing myself by driving manual+clutch on controller lol it's sorta fun

[dreamy rose]

@full fossil yo take a squiz at this.

[graceful burrow]

Better hope the proprietary and no longer manufactured cable for it still works

[mossy pendant]

I got it for 55 dollars (after tax) and i don’t see a single scratch, but the foam is crumbling

[graceful burrow]

Foam will be foam

[indigo phoenix]

Well if we're coming at it from that angle, surely Sign in with Apple would be more reasonable than Steam, wouldn't it? Or are you under the impression that there aren't over a billion people using iPhones and only millions of active Steam users?

[undone inlet]

peel p50 will get you numba one

[dreamy rose]

doesnt matter how many have it if its a backup option does it not?

[indigo phoenix]

If it really doesn't matter all that much then it's totally logical to see why a more common and still plenty secure option would be present.

I really don't understand what the confusion is lmao

[pliant karma]

damn ok got it all I think hope it works but I think it will

[dreamy rose]

also aren't they linkable for like. if you wanna add them elsewhere too? i dont think apple accounts have any social aspect like that.

[low rain]

😭😭😭 I don’t drive manual+clutch on anything rn but I do use manual for some games like assetto corsa and I’ll just use the paddle shifters

[mossy pendant]

It even has unopened lenses & other accessories

[mossy pendant]

How do you know for sure if the cable works? I can see the development kit box turns on

[low rain]

I’ll probably buy a shifter soon though

[dreamy rose]

man i wish they were here to talk about it rn, they'd probably go gaga over something like this.

an og Oculus Devkit. sounds like a VR Fans wet dream to own one.

[mossy pendant]

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know if this has ever been used. The rubber pads on the bottom of the input box are literally perfect

[graceful burrow]

You try to use it

[mossy pendant]

The only sign of any use is the headset foam, which idk if it’s been used

[dreamy rose]

the sticker on the bottom has a few scuffs. looks like they replaced them or they kinda messed up the sticker.

[keen narwhal]

2 user ideas, 1. AutisticGorilla 2. Needygorilla38 help me pick one

[dreamy rose]

why not AcousticChild?

[keen narwhal]

surprisingly enough thats already used

[dreamy rose]

what about AcousticChild69?

[iron sundial]

Does anyone know of a good office chair with adjustable armrests that is below 220USD? And not used Herman Miller or something like that, that doesn't exist here

[keen narwhal]

putting child and 69 together dont look right

just pick one of the 2 i mentioned

[dreamy rose]

how about 420 instead?

[mossy pendant]

Yeah possibly. Either way, it’s in amazing condition. Especially for $40 usd

[dreamy rose]

i wonder how much they are actually worth. cause i dunno

would it work with SteamVR?

[mossy pendant]

atleast $175 usd

[mossy pendant]

I have no clue, honestly.

[dreamy rose]

i'd imagine a collectors item like this going for more than 200 at least.

[mossy pendant]

I'm not completely sure, but tbf ebay isn't a good gauge of these things

[dreamy rose]

is it a DK1?

[mossy pendant]

yup!

[dreamy rose]

huh okay i think i thought it was more rare than it is, but i guess its kinda rareish? they gave em to backers who'd backed enough and sold em for 300 later.

you might reach a nice profit if you sold it and it was working at excelent condition.

[mossy pendant]

true, and it's such a cool thing to have

[dreamy rose]

yeah. everything's all up to you man. if you would love to keep a piece of modern vr history than enjoy, or if you want an easy hundred or so then go fo it, maybe get some more steam games with your profit.

[full fossil]

you can get them on amazon or second hand

[mossy pendant]

I don't think you know what this is haha
You could never find one of these on amazon

[full fossil]

I mean DK1 isn't there, DK1 is usually found second hand

[mossy pendant]

Yeah, DK1s haven't been produced since 2014 haha

[sand sleet]

Guys I found
I7 7700H
Gtx 1050 ti QMax
12 ram
120 ssd
500Hdd
Only for 210 bucks (used) is it good for this price

[hot mulch]

if u want a good base for a plex or NAS its a good deal

[sand sleet]

I want to play like fortnite n minecraft

Maybe some triple A

[sand sleet]

What's plex or nas

[hot mulch]

AAA from 3+ years ago

[sand sleet]

I think some modern ones like fnaf 9 can run maybe idk

[hot mulch]

plex is a locally hosted streaming client where you (either legally or otherwise) download movies and host them on your local network for anyone in your family to watch

[dreamy rose]

i don't think FNAF is a AAA game

[hot mulch]

theres 9 fnafs?

[hot mulch]

steel wool is a single A studio

[sand sleet]

The 9th is security breach, soon the new dlc is releasing so I shouldn't miss out

[sand sleet]

What's a single A,

[hot mulch]

not indie and not AAA, inbetween each

[sand sleet]

Wait What's the diferrence between A,AA,AAA

[hot mulch]

idk its just made up terms

[sand sleet]

Useless shit

I want the next 20 days to be quick af

[dreamy rose]

ntothing. A and AA dont exist in the industry they are just terms used to put name to rank.

[sand sleet]

Kool I guess

[hot mulch]

indie is typically a group of devs from like 1-80 or so, A would be 80-500 devs and AAA would be anything above

just ball parks, could be more or less for all of them

I got a rtx 2070 and FNAF:SB played as well as a toddler sharing their toys; thats to say not so well but had its moments

[dreamy rose]

SB is really jsut a buggy mess.

[hot mulch]

gtx1050ti will really die, I'd assume lowest settings at 1080p would be sub 25 fps

[dreamy rose]

the 1050 is being equaled/beaten by integrated graphics.

[hot mulch]

not quite, https://youtu.be/cNjNMZXp0S0

Oh wow

100 FPS on potato settings with a 1050ti 1080p

[dreamy rose]

ulta @1080p 30? not bad

[hot mulch]

ikr

[dreamy rose]

tho yea i'd probably go for something better than that tho.

[hot mulch]

tbf when I played it was at launch with RTX on and high settings

[dreamy rose]

i mean. 6700XT tho. best card to buy rn.

[hot mulch]

250 for a full system though

[dreamy rose]

looks to be a laptop tho.

[hot mulch]

anyways a NAS is basically a really big or small backup/file storage device

[hot mulch]

ah, H series processor with QMax gpu

[dreamy rose]

if they have the dough to throw around then a 5600/6700XT build sounds pretty good for them.

[hot mulch]

yeah its a laptop

[dreamy rose]

MaxQ. they killed the shit off and now they rely on shit nobody tells you to tell you what performance you get, Nvidia stinks bro.

[pure olive]

i just turned my sound system to like 70%

[hot mulch]

good for u

[pure olive]

it is extremely loud

[dreamy rose]

did your room go jelly?

[pure olive]

I'm pretty sure my neighbors 2 doors down could hear it

[dreamy rose]

i'd assume so.

[pure olive]

My amp can't even supply the full power

40/50w

my new amp will do 80w/channel so that'll be plenty

yeah rn I'm pushing around 25w and if I do this too long I'm pretty sure my ears will be damaged

[pliant karma]

Biggie testing out speakers I see

[pure olive]

hey panda wana see something crazy

[pliant karma]

👀

[pure olive]

go to tech chat 2 so i can embed

[pliant karma]

[dreamy rose]

you should probably be deaf now

[idle skiff]

Who here has played Wind Waker

[pliant karma]

[pliant karma]

[dreamy rose]

[pliant karma]

🫡

[dreamy rose]

at least nobodyn is messing with it.

[unkempt widget]

[pliant karma]

the eiffel tower is back lol on the bottom right

[dreamy rose]

SPYCRAB!

[granite agate]

[pliant karma]

r/place

https://www.reddit.com/r/place/?screenmode=fullscreen&cx=728&cy=-117&px=30

[dreamy rose]

you dont know who technoblade was?

[pliant karma]

oh wait

[granite agate]

No?

[dreamy rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPMluEVUqS0

[granite agate]

Oh wow

[dreamy rose]

it is very sad still even a year later.

[craggy sequoia]

still cant believe he became as popular as he did

i think he was gaining like 2000 subs per year during the later hypixel years

[fierce moth]

Wait r/place is back?

Damn it is

Alright, ltt gang, we need lttstore.com

[copper smelt]

r/paris

[fierce moth]

How rude that they put amogus on it

[pliant karma]

Among us was everywhere last year too so this is no surprise it’s back

[fierce moth]

Classic Canada always being fucked up

[pliant karma]

And they still can’t make the flag correctly this year damn

[primal cairn]

Why people buy quadro rtx 8000 when there's a 4090

[small zephyr]

the outlock app is so fucking anoying on phones

im literally requesting an password reset for an other account an wait on the pc for the mail and the second it comes i read it to use the link 1 minute later my phone gives me a notification that i have an new mail...

[slim creek]

because its cool

[primal cairn]

cool

[acoustic pond]

uwu

[mint yacht]

Quadros have different drivers that can boost performance in certain work-related applications

[primal cairn]

How big of a difference are we talking about

[wary summit]

r/place anyone?

[primal cairn]

Where is LTT on r/place

[wary summit]

lets do it

[primal cairn]

We should open a channel for that

It's strange that we don't have a place on r/place

[crude jasper]

Good

Canada licking UKs boot

[summer folio]

I want a realistic photograph of Riley

[manic torrent]

you don't buy an RTX 8000 to flex playing CP2077, you buy it to do a specific task

and likely, your task is also using expensive software and support and blah blah blah

an RTX 8000 is like a truck. It's rated for carrying heavy loads 24x7

if it has a problem carrying those loads, you go to your customer service rep and get them to make it right for you

[fierce moth]

Flow sims love quadros

Or anything ai

[manic torrent]

If you shove all your shit in the back of your up specced F150, and it has a problem you just end up at the dealership with a "lol it's not rated for commercial use, suck it"

[summer folio]

I love how RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB VRAM performs worse than RTX 4060 Ti with 8 GB VRAM.
8GB VRAM is truly the peak of VRAM.
Less is more.

[manic torrent]

I assume that's 1080p though

[summer folio]

MSI Privated the video afterwards btw.

[dreamy rose]

whaddaya expect from a card even nvidia "hates"

getting Warshiped simulator

[small zephyr]

as long the nvidia fanboy idiots buy their stuff they will continue to do shit like this

as long an company got its following they can prob sell you an piece of literal shit

[dreamy rose]

for sure. they will try and get away with it for as long as they possibly can and people will allow it.

they ARE the apple of the GPU world. everyone lets them because they are nvidia, they are the stupidly big one and everyone buys their shit.

[small zephyr]

and msi etc should stop producing nvidia cards for a while at least to show em stop being dicks

[dreamy rose]

if everyone just stopped making them for a while thatd be kind wild.

[small zephyr]

yes but is there an otherway to stop em nope

cuz nvidia CANT physically produce that many founders to make up for it

[dreamy rose]

EVGA shoulda just went straight to Radeon instead of not doing GPUs anymore at all. if not for the shitty behavior of Nvidia, for the sake of keeping their company afloat cause i wouldn't be suprised if those rumors were based in some kind of root of truth. any little bit.

who knows none of us are EVGA insiders.

[small zephyr]

i wonder how nvidias threating of companys to stop producing cards of competioniers is even legal

[dreamy rose]

they never said anything about Radeon but they are definitely trying to squash intel for sure.

maybe radeon is just too big for them to squash

[small zephyr]

they did threaten againts nvidia cards its the reason theres not some kinda of gpu series along nvidia and amd

[dreamy rose]

who, intel?

you know what, Nvidia should probably just give up on 50 and 60 class cards. AMD and Intel will duke it out there with Integrated Graphics.

well. definitely on laptop. not sure how desktop is gonna deal with that. tho AMD moving from 12 to 16 CUs is a good jump

[soft swan]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-halpert-face-yeah-ok-then-sure-gif-17449746

Highly doubt integrated graphics are any close to that

[elfin solar]

If nvidia partners stopped making cards AMD would put their prices up. Don’t believe that any of these companies are on your side. They are businesses who will sell products for as much as they can.
Also right now nvidia is making so much money away from consumer GPUs I doubt they care.

[manic torrent]

EDID management is hard.

scratch that, it's EXPENSIVE

[past kernel]

isnt there circling rumors that theyre gonna get out of the consumer gpu scene

[distant wren]

Who amd or nvidia? Missing a subject in this sentence

[manic torrent]

yes

[dreamy rose]

intel only quit making their limited edition a750s

[dreamy rose]

SIs are ditching 4060 class Laptop GPUs for integrated graphics. performance may not be 100% comparable but they decided that the cost of the cooling and adding that stuff in is not worth it and instead battery life is more important. and they are objectively correct here, because adding a 35 Watt GPU is pointless when your integrated grahics can both game and net you a lot longer battery life by being alone. and i'm not talking AMD models i am talking Intel. whos iGPUs are significantly behind AMDs

and then there is Strix Halo.

[full fossil]

do i have to use the medicat installer

[dreamy rose]

i dont think asking here is the right thing to do. dont they have a FAQ or a Server of thei own or something?
