Theres a microcenter 15 minutes from my work

[winged spire]

I wish

I’m 8 hours from 3

[supple pawn]

It's fucking glorious

[winged spire]

Houston and Atlanta

ATLANTA HAS 2 💀💀💀

They’re literally like a 30 minute walk from eachother they need to stop hogging

[supple pawn]

Lol 8 hours? Bro, I could drive across the state and back in that time. Well, the width of the state. Not from South to North. That would be far, far worse I'd imagine.

Not texas

Talking about my current state

[winged spire]

Yeah I’m in New Orleans

It’s roughly 8 hours to Atlanta

[vapid smelt]

my state only has one toll road

[winged spire]

8 hours to Houston

[white pawn]

Happy Vatican Sanctioned Cultural Appropriation Day!!!

[supple pawn]

I'm in Michigan. Stones throw from Sarnia.

[winged spire]

My state has literally no speed cameras

The only toll I’ve ever seen is the causeway bridge

[winged spire]

Which Tbf it’s like a 45 kilometer long bridge

[white pawn]

nahh, see, you go to the marietta one for pc parts, and the Duluth one for maker stuff 🙂

[supple pawn]

Neither does mine. But it does have potholes the size of the grand Canyon which will bend every suspension component on your car.

[winged spire]

New Orleans gets around potholes by just excessively speeding

So you fly over the potholes before you can fall into them

[supple pawn]

You can thank all the salt we dump on the roads for that. But God help you if there isn't salt on the roads at all times during winter in these parts.

[winged spire]

We had a famous pothole recently, it filled with water and people would go swimming inside

I’m not even joking 💀

[supple pawn]

Ah. We don't have outstanding giant ones like that. Just cumulative aggregation of them on every damn road. They have to tear up and repave parts of 94 and 69 every year. Every damn year.

[winged spire]

They tear up 69?

[supple pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/glenn-quagmire-family-guy-giggity-gif-4084933

i69, yes

Actually, fun story. There once was a big draw bridge on I-75 over a river. Whole freeway had to stop when it was open.

[winged spire]

What 💀

That is a horrible idea lmao

[slim island]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-gif-15088034468139127926

[winged spire]

You ever seen the causeway in New Orleans?

It’s like the longest bridge in the world or something

(Apparently this is very contested and controversial but idc)

[supple pawn]

I haven't, but the drawbridge was replaced

This is it today

[supple pawn]

That seems excessive

I like bridges and all, but I get nervous enough about the Mackinac bridge, much less that monstrosity

[winged spire]

Literally over the widest possible part lol

Close to the center there’s a few miles where you can’t see either end

So you’re just in the middle of this giant body of water

There’s also no oil rigs (yet) so it’s just water and nothingness

[supple pawn]

Says close to 30 miles long?

[winged spire]

Yeah

[supple pawn]

The longest bridge we have here is like 5 miles

[winged spire]

lol

[supple pawn]

Looks cooler than that one though

[winged spire]

Also I need to say this

LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN IS NOT A FUCKIN LAKE

they literally just called it something it’s not

It’s not a lake like… by definition

It’s an estuary or whatever

I blame the French

[winged spire]

That’s cool

Driving on the causeway sucks

It’s a bunch of like 50 foot long prefab concrete block so every few seconds you get a slight bump for 30 miles straight

This is your view 💀

Atleast it’s straight so you can just sorta let cruise control take over

[supple pawn]

See, ours is far less boring. You get winds whipping past it blowing around campers as people tow them, the northern lights occasionally, and, once in a blue moon, an airplane will fly into the cables. Exciting!

[winged spire]

Oh we get high winds too sometimes

I’ve never seen the northern lights before

[supple pawn]

I want to be one of the maintenance workers. They pay people to go up and down the giant cables to clean and maintain them. It's a full time gig!

[winged spire]

Sometimes we get a crazy pileups on the bridge too

Like 30+ car pileups

Not ideal when you’re 15 miles from the closest shore

[supple pawn]

What do they do? Tow trucks, or lower them onto barges? If you're 15 miles out and traffic is bad enough, the barges might be the easier option.

[winged spire]

I don’t actually know

Yeah oh damn

This month, the 18 there was a 50 car pileup

[supple pawn]

Or theres always the same option I chose when moving my furniture out of a 4th floor apartment in college. Push the bitch off and watch it splat.

[winged spire]

lol

[supple pawn]

Lol we had a 193 car pile up in Kalamazoo one year on i94. There were fireworks. I shit you not.

[winged spire]

In October 2023 there was a 160 car pileup

People think driving 70mph on a road when you can’t see is a good idea

[supple pawn]

https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/severe/this-day-in-weather-history-january-9-2015-deadly-michigan-pileup

[winged spire]

💀

40,000lbs of fireworks what

[supple pawn]

Yes. The firework truck was smashed into. The fireworks went off in the street. Good times.

[winged spire]

That’s a crazy fucking photo

[supple pawn]

Yeah, same thing caused this one. Fucking semis were doing 70. This is a screenshot from one persons dash cam that day. Fucking wild people will go so fast like that.

[winged spire]

Real world IQ test I guess

[supple pawn]

I joke, but it was actually pretty tragic

[winged spire]

Apparently there was another truck with 45,000lbs of formic acid

Which is Y’know … not good to spill

[alpine gale]

The cause of the accident turned out to be negligence.

Is there a way to run windows on iPad? And still use apple OS

My software is only supported on windows but I prefer using iPad

[alpine gale]

No. iPads run iOS and iOS only, and you will like iOS.

[pallid falcon]

Do you like ios

Also i thought it was called iPad os and it's different then ios. Could be wrong

[alpine gale]

Not really - rather, I love the app ecosystem, but dislike how iOS functions compared to any other OS - not just Android. The "you will like iOS" phrase was me memeing how Apple wants you to use it.

[alpine gale]

I think this is correct. I can never keep up with the naming schemes these days.

[tired glade]

was it 10$ or more like 15$

[manic torrent]

.... Obviously. But this is all based on their own material.

[gritty musk]

Even if it reports 'there are no coupons'

[manic torrent]

The thing is this by itself isn't the story, it is that it is effectively taking the affiliate revenue from the people that are advertising it.

[manic torrent]

Yes

[viscid elm]

what other cupon extensions are there?

[gritty musk]

Not so sure that's true , they DID say they searched the web for the best coupons , turns out the companies can choose which coupon was shown to the end user, most of the time it was way less than ones available elsewhere, it wasn't until the better business Bureau started an investigation that they stopped the adverts saying that.

[obsidian oracle]

this reminds me of that one show where people are obsessed to have their purchase for free with 500 coupons

and race eachother with making it close to 0 as possible

[civic fox]

that show is called extreme couponing i used to watch it

[lament crystal]

Can anyone recommend a decent mechanical keyboard for about £70-100?

Preferably no RGB

TKL at the very smallest

[fossil frost]

my ex-sister-in-law used to do extreme couponing, was crazy to watch. she had a spreadsheet of how much different magazines used to cost, and what coupons came with them, or what products had a coupon on them, that would make the next purchase of something cheaper... she would even go to the supermarket, buy some stuff, go out to the car, remove coupons, and then go straight back in to buy the rest

[civic fox]

yea it is definitely something interesting, especially when people get hundreds of dollars worth of stuff and pay like 20 bucks its quite crazy

[fossil frost]

she doesnt bother anymore because the internet and internet coupons have ruined it.. because retaillers know they will be leaked within seconds and then everyone has the same single coupon, and margins on products are much tighter than they used to be, its hardly worth bothering with the energy to do it

[civic fox]

yea sounds about right. was cool to watch though

[fossil frost]

theres a company in the uk called sportsshoes.com, they offer england athletics affiliated running clubs, 15% off, with a new code, per club, per month... i used to use honey, and i used the code on sportsshoes, and then about 2 days later, honey was recommending that code to others, and if your clubs code gets leaked, sportsshoes will blacklist you and not give your club any more codes... which is why i, and many others, stopped using honey a while ago 🙂

[civic fox]

makes sense

i never used honey

[fossil frost]

i used it back when it made it easy to get a quick 10% off practically anything, which it did when it was independantly owned... as soon as paypal bought it, it went to shit

thats when all the scummy practices started

[civic fox]

classic companies, can't have nice things in today's world

[full fossil]

What’s the cheapest you think I can get a pc for that runs 120 fps on like fn rl rust siege

Need actual Awnsers

[fossil frost]

depends on what settings

[full fossil]

Performance

[fossil frost]

my kids £400 i3 onboard gpu laptops can run fortnite on low settings at over 100fps

[full fossil]

Idk if I want a laptop tho

Because I can upgrade it in the future

[fossil frost]

im just giving you an idea of what is possible with what HW

tbh "as cheap as possible", i would recommend going 2nd hand and a few generations old... any dedicated gpu from the last 6 years, will run fortnite at lower settings at tripple digit fps

[full fossil]

should I get a pre built

[fossil frost]

it depends what you want.. and it depends what "cheapest" means... without knowing your actual budget, its hard to recommend anything

[balmy tiger]

im looking for a cheap yet reliable pair of wireless headphones (under 100 dollars)

I saw the ugreen max5 but I'm skeptical

[full fossil]

Well I have £120 witch is $150 but I’m visiting family now and they will probably give me $200+

[fossil frost]

cheap wireless headphones sound like ass compared to their wired counterparts for the same price... wireless = convenient, wired = quality... and ugreen are not a headphone manufacturer, they are a contract electronics manufacturer

[full fossil]

So 400-500

[sonic mauve]

who here knows physics

[fossil frost]

look for second hand on facebook marketplace, or one of those "£500 gaming pc" adverts on fb

[full fossil]

Do the specs matter?

Fb marketplace isn’t available

[fossil frost]

dont go older than 8th gen intel, and dont go older than 3000 series ryzen, make sure its got a real gpu if you can too

[balmy tiger]

they sell headphones

[balmy tiger]

ugh, but I don't know how to handle the wiring with wired headphones

it's so inconvenient how does one use them without having a cable running in front of you

[fossil frost]

they sell headphones that are not made or designed by them, they are just cheapo rubbish with their label glued to it

[fossil frost]

as i said, if you want convenience, you lose some quality

[fossil frost]

https://www.awd-it.co.uk/gaming-pc/by-price/under-500-gaming-pc.html these are a genuine real company, i have met their owner

Or the £350

[fossil frost]

its the "average" pc that people on steam seem to use.. ish

the 350 has onboard gpu, the 509 has a dedicated gpu

[full fossil]

Can you give me the best one in your opinion in the 300-450 price range

[fossil frost]

if you can squeeze the extra £30, this is one of the best deals on there for the spec vs price https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-volt-amd-ryzen-5-4500-six-core-rtx-3050-6gb-desktop-pc-for-gaming.html

you are best finding somewhere local to you

[tired glade]

Or just don't get 50-series on release day

[dawn glacier]

30 series took months to become avaliable

let alone not 300 dollars more than msrp

and thats what im worried about

[tired glade]

30-series were during pandemic

[dawn glacier]

that was my last experience buying a gpu so i cant speak on how they are now

[tired glade]

All,not months, but years

Most GPUs msrp or below

Only exception is 4090

[dawn glacier]

4070 ti super is still above msrp, and same with the 4080 super

[tired glade]

Oh, there aren't 4080 super on Amazon, just 3 party

4070 ti at 799 for multiple models

[dawn glacier]

half the models yes

[viscid elm]

i would just grab a rx 6750 xt now

[tired glade]

4080 super at pc part starts at 1000$, something isn't right

[viscid elm]

and sell then upgrade later

[tired glade]

Most of 4080 super around 1500

I had bad feelings for 5080

[dawn glacier]

theres also 7900xtx for 800$ at microcenter

[viscid elm]

yeah thats legit and i LOVE my XTX

[dawn glacier]

only worry is the driver issues/heat issues

[tired glade]

That's not even funny,4080 super is X2 in price at this point

[tired glade]

Driver are fine,coolers overbuild for partners cards

[dawn glacier]

its a power cooler 7900xtx

would it be a good grab for 3-5 years life

thats going to be WAY more then fine

[dawn glacier]

rn i have a 3070 and it works but showing its age now in newer titles

also will likely have to get a power supply

currently have a 650 watt

[viscid elm]

cpu?

[dawn glacier]

7800x3d

[tired glade]

Maybe get 850 and sell 650

[viscid elm]

running that cpu with the XTX on a 850w psu and i am LOVING it

[dawn glacier]

noted

24gb is nice as im not too happy about the 50 series dram leaks rn

12 gb for a 70 and 16 for an 80

probably like 1k for psu and gpu

which is well within my budget

[tired glade]

5080 can be slower than 4090 by those leaks

5070 ti will have just 12gb of ram too

[dawn glacier]

probably gonna rely on the new neural dlss

[candid flame]

i just saw my first forced newsletter

[tired glade]

If that tech will be used

[dawn glacier]

versus actually improving the hardware much

yea same as rt

most games still dont use full path tracing

nor do the cards perfom well enough with them

[viscid elm]

path tracing is just a big no, most games with RT look the same or better without it

[dawn glacier]

yea, well devs have gotten lazy

[viscid elm]

ffs

[dawn glacier]

taa/dlss have really annoyed me in modern titles

[viscid elm]

how do you think optimization works?

[dawn glacier]

blurry, ghosty mess

sad how games from 5 years ago look crisper and better than modern titles

[viscid elm]

just a big red button that says optimize all?

[tired glade]

That tech doesn't sell games at all

[dawn glacier]

optimization has been a thing since gaming came out, devs are just getting lazy since the hardware has more headroom and features that let them get away

silent hill 2 is a perf example, the game has fog yet renders most of the map at full detail

[tired glade]

Unreal new update doesn't help with optimization argument, especially when those updates include dev tools updates

[dawn glacier]

gaming market has expanded and is bigger than ever, yet they cant optimize games?

shoot even marvel rivals is poorly optimized and has memory leaks

[tired glade]

Silent hill 2 remaster use extra pass for lumin, even if option turn off

Also he has weird tendencies to render reflective in unreachable places

[dawn glacier]

yea very unoptimized

[tired glade]

No,it's mostly because Unreal doesn't say it uses those effects and devs can't figure out it

Yeah ik.

Its just not like an i5 ot i7

[pallid falcon]

Merry Christmas goober

[viscid elm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1320387472311455835/CPUS.gif

fyi a i5 will nuke that cpu

i do belive even the i5 12600k nukes it

but a 14600k will be WAY better then that again

[bronze lion]

Im still wiondering why with all of these pretty decent components its performing this bad

[gloomy flare]

skill issue

[bronze lion]

Bro

[prime oar]

I FOUND IT

I FINALLY FOUND IT

[bronze lion]

Does anyone actually know why

[prime oar]

PCIE Expansion backplane

[bronze lion]

I have a 4060 ti with an i9 10850k. 16gb ram yet im still getting 160-190 fps on fn with low graphics and small maps?

[gloomy flare]

my 4060 ti came in faulty 2x before I ended up switching to AMD

[bronze lion]

Interesting

[gloomy flare]

also it's the worst graphics card of 2024

it's not really worth it

get a 7600 xt

10x better for the price

[gilded lava]

Ryzen 7 7800 3D, ASRock X670E with a RX 7800 XT. My first build

[prime oar]

I needed to look for PCIE expansion slots

I had to go digging for one of Linus old videos

that allowed you to break PCIE into a PLX switch chip

[lyric sphinx]

My 3060ti is still chugging through

[celest orbit]

Die hard is the best Christmas movie ever

[keen cedar]

Up your resolution

Or settings

[bronze lion]

Wdym

Wouldnt that make it worse

@keen cedar

[keen cedar]

Nah

[bronze lion]

Like my resolution in fn or my pc?

Its on native and the 3d res on fn is 75

[sly sand]

Any good deals on a WiFi mesh system for cheap

[white pawn]

tell Bono, then he won't have to sing that song anymore at concerts 🙂

[supple pawn]

Wait, is 190 fps considered low now? Lol

[civic fox]

No

[white pawn]

i was about to say, if 190 is low i'm totally out of touch LOL

[civic fox]

Give me a stable 70 to 90 and I'm happy

[smoky badge]

You’re out of touch you need at least 240

||/s||

[white pawn]

will an original nintendo even do that? 🙂

[smoky badge]

No, grandpa

[white pawn]

you mean, i should try older hardware? 🙂

[smoky badge]

Yes

Ew

[white pawn]

well, it would appear that my commodore64 only does 24 frames per second 😛

[civic fox]

Cinematic mode 😲

[white pawn]

my wife finds it hilarious that i was called grandpa by the way

[civic fox]

Yea we will be grandpas one day

Today is not that day though

[white pawn]

yeah, im really hoping for a while down the road, but my son seems to have other ideas LOL

[civic fox]

Lol

[solid comet]

how much bigger is

ops. how much difference is there when you have the same spec on a pc vs laptop?

[smoky badge]

lol

[viscid elm]

laptops are so funky to where its also down the the model of laptop

[solid comet]

if this is the laptop: GeForce RTX 4070, Ryzen 9 8945HS, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD

[viscid elm]

thats laptop specs not a laptop

but yeah those are some good specs for a laptop

[solid comet]

(Acer Nitro 17)

[civic fox]

That's a damn good specs list tbh

[white pawn]

it's kind of odd, actually, so technically, my laptop is better hardware than my pc, but it performs worse in gaming. only a little bit, but it is noticeable

[tired glade]

Low on ram,but pretty good specs

[pallid falcon]

Tbh console might be the best way to play it because thej you don't need to install the Spyware anti cheat

[solid comet]

wod you buy a laptop for 2000 $ or a pc same amount

[pallid falcon]

Desktop

Not lappy

[solid comet]

and how much better is it vs laptop?

[pallid falcon]

Depends, however, you generally get better deals

Also laptops I think give less performance

[viscid elm]

way less

the best 4070 in a laptop will not get too close to a desktop 4070

[white pawn]

definitely, ive got a4060 in the laptop, but its the mobile 4060, so it performs worse than my 3060 12gb in my pc

[solid comet]

thats what I am trying to figer out, so how much beter? or how can i compere this?

[viscid elm]

hard to compare

but in short desktop pc will almost always be better

[pallid falcon]

It depends but generally it's very noticeable. Plus laptops get Hella hot sometimes and have issues down the road like hinge issues from experience

[white pawn]

i will say, i'm currently using a lenovo LOQ(the exact same system is now a legion pc on their site, really odd) and i have to say, its the first laptop that seems to be intelligently designed concerning cooling that i have run into

the keyboard gets warm, but never anything close to what you would consider hot

every Dell/Alienware i've used could cook food on the keyboard after 10 minutes of gaming 😛

[balmy tiger]

Im about to buy the jbl 770nc, anything y'all wanna add

[civic fox]

Good for when your hands get cold

[white pawn]

yeah, it rally hasn't ever gotten even that warm

[civic fox]

My gaming laptop was the same it was a MSI laptop

[pallid falcon]

I have a MSI gpu in my desktop :3

[civic fox]

Mine is a gigabyte GPU

[pallid falcon]

(They where the only one I could find making non-rgb 40 series card)

[white pawn]

i desoldered the rgb off my 3060 LOL

i like my computers dark and forboding, with the slight sound of air movement to up the creepiness

[left summit]

Should I go for a glass or fabric mousepad?

[graceful burrow]

Glass mouse pad with fabric skates

[viscid elm]

Up to you but i have heard a lot of bad stuff about glass so I say go fabric, worked well for me all the time I have been gaming

[tired glade]

Do you play shooters?

[left summit]

Nope.

I dont really game much at all

[tired glade]

Glass will do for you

[glad panther]

Merry countmas everyone

[tired glade]

I am not touching that

[hybrid echo]

my friend been thinking of getting either a 3080 or 7800xt, which is better (his cpu is the ryzen 7 5700g) he mostly plays fortnite at 1080p

[tired glade]

7800xt most likely

[hybrid echo]

but his budget is like 350-at max 400

idk what he is smoking

[hybrid echo]

idk cuz he wants smthn cheap but he wants a upgrade from his titan xp

[tired glade]

That's 3070 lvl of performance

[sudden gazelle]

Happy christmas linus cult

Hi guys!

Happy 25th december guys!

[sudden gazelle]

How to overclock my cpu

I need help

[sacred geode]

So yk combustion engines

[hybrid echo]

then ig he wants 100+ fps in fortnite, he plays usually at dx10 , idk should i get the slightly less powerful 307- for much cheaper or what

[tired glade]

You mean 26

[gleaming compass]

buy a motherboard that supports doing overclocking in the bios

[sacred geode]

Where are you

[sudden gazelle]

They have a #cars channel which is cool

[sacred geode]

Woah

[sudden gazelle]

[sudden gazelle]

No no no its fine not your fault

[sacred geode]

[sudden gazelle]

Anyway my mobo is so bad I think my GPU release button fell off

[tired glade]

I am not telling

[sacred geode]

Poland?

[sudden gazelle]

Bulgaria?

[sacred geode]

Jestem polski

Im polish too right fresh

[tired glade]

Since when Bulgaria is Eastern Europe?

[gleaming compass]

That always felt to me like a flawed design

[sudden gazelle]

Always?

[sacred geode]

They are no?

[tired glade]

It's central

[sacred geode]

No it ainr 😭

[sudden gazelle]

Got any New Year’s resolutions here?

I did fulfill mine of last year, putting on 10% of weight

[full fossil]

1920x1080

[graceful burrow]

1440p

[tired glade]

Write a second book, that's so far plans for 2025

[thorny cargo]

Damm!

[tired glade]

The original plan for 2024 was just a few chapters, but the year was packed with flights

[clever brook]

Happy holidays to all

[tired glade]

Happy holidays for you too

[thorny cargo]

Neat!

I think imma redo the same thing

[gilded quest]

Same as last year, 2560x1440
But now 240hz QD-OLED instead of 165hz IPS

[thorny cargo]

Yal real funny

[gilded quest]

New years resolutions are stupid

[graceful burrow]

It was a real answer though :(

[gilded quest]

Give yourself a yearly theme

[graceful burrow]

I have a 3090 I need more than a 1080p display

[thorny cargo]

Not for everyone

Its definitely helped me

[gentle slate]

did a clean install of Win 11

and shits just randomly breaking.

[graceful burrow]

That's a fantastic emoji though

[copper steeple]

yo so ive been looking at KVM's but like i dont wanna spend 500 bucks on one and i also wanna have my keyboard still connected to my pc when i use it on my consoles... so naturally i first looked at usb switches bc its only for a keyboard and i have an inverted hdmi splitter wich works good enough for my monitors. is there any usb switch under like 50 atleast that can switch to my console while still being connected to my pc but not getting any input if you know what i mean

[gentle slate]

it is. I love it.

anyways, win 11. Fails to alt tab out of the game sometimes, discord freaks out, planetside 2 is having dubious crashes.

bone stock PC with gpu drivers.

why does each new windows iteration become more shit

[graceful burrow]

Those are not normal issues, so don't go blaming the version of the os, that's not very logical lol

That's a your problem install

You may be able to find help in #1027757333117415424, with a bit of patience

[gentle slate]

*shrug never had those on Win 10

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that was a different install
Youre conflating things lmao
And deliberately ignoring valid points to hate on 11 for things that are well known to not be common issues

[fringe lance]

whats the best settings for my acer monitor?

[rustic tundra]

how many people go 1440 next year

[gentle slate]

1440p?

havent they already gone to 1440p?

[rustic tundra]

no 1440i buh of course 1440

[fringe lance]

yes

[rustic tundra]

i havent gone 1440 myself

i went straight for 4k from 1080

[fringe lance]

too expensive and my gpu prob couldnt run it on settings to make the 4k worth

[rustic tundra]

👊😎👍

[fringe lance]

i have a 4k phone display i cant tell a difference

[rustic tundra]

i will have 2 4k monitors next year

in total

[gentle slate]

its a phone.

even 1440p is useless on a phone

[rustic tundra]

24 (23.5) 1080 - 96 ppi
27 1080 - 81 ppi
32 (31.5) 1080 - 70 ppi
24 1440 - 122 ppi
27 1440 - 108 ppi
32 (31.5) 1440 - 95 ppi
27 4k - 164 ppi
32 4k - 140 ppi

difference of pixel density

anything above 120 ppi is perfect for a monitor

[hot thistle]

I don’t think I’d be happy with the fps on a 4k monitor. Would need a massive GPU upgrade first.

That being said, I use a 31.5” 1440p main monitor and 24” 1080p side monitor so I guess I’ve gotten accustomed to the lower ppi

[cold prism]

I use a 27" 1440p 360hz and a 65" 4k 120hz

Low ppi all over the place

[sonic spruce]

Meowy Chwistmas everyone

[pallid falcon]

You also

[obsidian oracle]

i prefer y60 style cases more

wouldnt wanna buy a case unless it has glass front

[vapid smelt]

is this in cad?

[viscid elm]

Lga 1700 😦

Nah its fine probably

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt buy a case unless it had a mesh front, because airflow

[obsidian oracle]

fair

id prefer looks over airflow on a white build so, cant say much for black builds

[vapid smelt]

$140 real gun dollars for a used z790?

[fossil frost]

i prefer performance, in a performance oriented product

[obsidian oracle]

bottom fans will be more than plenty for your gpu so you wont lose performance from glass front

theres already 1 side glass, might as well add a front one

[vapid smelt]

wait why are you getting ddr4 z790 board?!

[fossil frost]

gamers nexus has proven this entirely false, many times... but you do you..

[obsidian oracle]

yes i do me

[fossil frost]

tbh, i would spend the extra on a ddr5 board, and some new ram, maybe sell the existing ram to part fund that... its noticeable

no bios flashback button and usb port on the back of the board? if so, you can USUALLY recover from that

even without that, it is still recoverable.. but needs more, professional tools

you can spend an extra $80 now, or an extra $200 later

there is no wrong answer on that btw, its your own choice on whether you want to spend extra now, or extra later

[vapid smelt]

$291 mbo has wifi 7 vs 6e ddr5 and a cheap but great case with 3 pwm fans all for 20ish more bucks

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H4rDZc

you need more then 6?

[blissful frost]

hi

[fossil frost]

you need a $9 usb-c hub

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WDMMnQ/asrock-z790-lightning-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-lightning-wifi

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rKGbt6/asrock-z690-pg-velocita-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z690-pg-velocita

it would be a improvement, even more so if your not using the higher end 3600mhz cl14 used in this testing

fuck i didnt see that 😦

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJGQMZCY + https://www.amazon.com/Expansion-Internal-Converter-Desktop-Support/dp/B0BD7JFZMY

Toslink

[gleaming compass]

so you are using all five mini-jacks?

[vapid smelt]

i dont use it

[gleaming compass]

But how do you take advantage of your on-board Realtek audio? :p

Are BOTH ethernet ports at 2.5Ghz or just one?

[supple pawn]

There's some weird looking dogs in the back yard. Maybe chupicabra.

[summer folio]

Hopefully both.
So you can get insane speed to yourself by connecting a 1 inch Ethernet cable between the ports.

[graceful burrow]

How is this related to ltt tho

[supple pawn]

I mean have y'all not had hot dogs?

[graceful burrow]

Probably not a smart idea to continue based on that lmao

[rapid turtle]

Just bought a 7800xt

I’m broke now (I was already broke)

[coral silo]

they are both in love of jawa.gg

[vapid smelt]

you know ces is in 14ish days when they will announce the new cards

[rapid turtle]

Yeah

So I should cancel ?

[vapid smelt]

you should have a 30 day return window so you dont have to

[rapid turtle]

With Amazon ?

But would you wait ? Cause I didn’t actually know

[vapid smelt]

i am waiting i plan to upgrade my rx 5700xt

[rapid turtle]

Oh ok cause I waited a lot to upgrade from my 2070super and was pretty happy with all the benchmark vid I checked on the 7800xt

[torpid zenith]

This NVIDA launch looks like it might be the one to shun them out of the budget and midrange competition for good if they botch it

[rapid turtle]

Oh

[torpid zenith]

AMD is probably gonna absolutely dominate in that space in the next few years

[torpid zenith]

I love my 7800xt

[rapid turtle]

I can’t cancel for some reason and I wanna see what amd is capable of so I’m gonna keep it and maybe upgrade in a few years

[rapid turtle]

Yeah do you play bo6? It’s my main game at the moment and I wanna know what type of performance it gets

[torpid zenith]

Nah i haven’t bought it yet, the most GPU intensive game I play is fortnite rn and my FPS is capped at 144 by my monitor with max settings

[rapid turtle]

And it’s a smooth 144?

Like a constant ?

[torpid zenith]

Yea no stuttering

[rapid turtle]

Good lord

I’m hyped !

[torpid zenith]

It’s the best value GPU right now for sure

[rapid turtle]

Do you play like forza or games like that ?

[vocal gust]

Yo

[rapid turtle]

Yo

[civic fox]

forza is great

[torpid zenith]

Nah, I haven’t been able to really take it for a spin, I got it a few weeks ago and have admittedly been busy

i just came back from a helluva ride with an old bucket pc from medion, ive been searching hours for an graphic card and i cant find it man

Oooh Okok I get it in ~1 or 2 week I’m rlly hyped

[rapid turtle]

How’s Minecraft looking ?

Mine only need the gpu and it’s comiiiiing

[torpid zenith]

I can do like 20 Chunks with high everything else and be consistent, but admittedly I might be more limited by my 9600x with that

[rapid turtle]

I got a 5600x….

[civic fox]

my gpu is alright but might need a newer one and my cpu needs more than 4 cores other than that i should be good

[torpid zenith]

For literally any other game you’ll be fine, minecraft is like purely CPU intensive

[vapid smelt]

ryzen 7 5700x3d goes on sale for around $180

[rapid turtle]

Oooh okok

[civic fox]

currently rocking a 1080ti as of now

[rapid turtle]

I’m too broke now man I wish.. and I’m on am4 so idk if it’s compatible

[vapid smelt]

it is

[vapid smelt]

boomer gpu

[rapid turtle]

Oooh but still got no money

[civic fox]

mhmm sure i aint close to boomer XD

[torpid zenith]

I really need to hold myself back from buying a threadripper 7980x, I can’t afford it and will never need it, but THE CORES😭

[civic fox]

my GPU's are staying with me until i get old

[vapid smelt]

the gpu is

[civic fox]

it may be old but man does it perform well

[torpid zenith]

most optimized GPU out there right now

[civic fox]

probably yea and i am at 1080p so the the fps is gonna be quite high for most games besides a few

[vapid smelt]

28fps (at 1080 ultra)

[civic fox]

except i dont play games like that so it doesnt really mean anything

[torpid zenith]

If the 5080 falls to like $800 in a year or two and has the VRAM i may be tempted to upgrade my other PC

[vapid smelt]

it has 16gb

[torpid zenith]

Nvidia is SELLING rn smh

[civic fox]

i dont think i would buy another nividia card honestly i dont see me needing it i just game

i own 2 cards

[torpid zenith]

how you gonna make the 5090 32gb and HALF of that for the 5080

[civic fox]

i get another free gpu on the first

[torpid zenith]

what gpu?

[civic fox]

not sure

better than my current card thats all i know

[torpid zenith]

Nice

[civic fox]

my current card is so thick i cant use any of the other PCI lanes because it covers all of them up

[gleaming compass]

have you ever replaced the fans on a video card before?

[civic fox]

covers my second nvme slot too which has a 256gig in it atm

[civic fox]

nope

[vapid smelt]

acer being so nice and leaking it for us

[civic fox]

that case looks like it has no front airflow

[torpid zenith]

Nvidia is gonna lose the gaming market with intel undercutting them and AMD straight up beating them in price to performance

[gleaming compass]

I think nvidia is hoping for that

[torpid zenith]

Just sell only the 90 cards at this point💀

[torpid zenith]

honestly it seems like it

[manic torrent]

That isn't even remotely how this works

[torpid zenith]

Do elaborate

[gleaming compass]

I think every gpu the sell in a consumer video card is one nvidia sees as being something could have sold at a higher price to a data center

by 2030, nvidia's entire RTX line of products will be replaced with HGX offerings :P

[vapid smelt]

all the people that need high end cards for work will be forced to buy work station cards and not the "cheap" **80,**80ti,**90 gaming cards

[manic torrent]

Being better doesn't make something sell more.

[torpid zenith]

True not instantly, but I think it’ll be like an Intel to Ryzen situation

[gleaming compass]

and yet iphone still is purchased by people?

people develope brand loyalties and they are hard to change

[torpid zenith]

That makes sense, I just wish they tried to stay up to date with the rest of their line like they do with the 90 series cards

with vram and pricing and such

Even intel puts 12gb in a $250 card

[vapid smelt]

in 2019 amd put 16gb of expensive hmb2 vram in a $699 card

[torpid zenith]

Is that better that gddr?

[vapid smelt]

depends on the task

[torpid zenith]

Is it better for like workstation applications?

[vapid smelt]

yeah they are mostly used on quadro cards for work stations

[worldly sphinx]

hello

[torpid zenith]

hi

[gleaming compass]

salutations

[teal estuary]

and i bought one of them

[gleaming compass]

what happened next?

[vapid smelt]

didnt they mine ethereum well?

[teal estuary]

blocked it, then mining happened, and i sold it for a profit

and replaced it with a 6800xt

for less than i sold it for

[vapid smelt]

that they did

[vapid smelt]

its $111 on newegg and amazon

[normal nebula]

why are you buying a cpu from a clothes store 💀

[torpid zenith]

could i game on it?

[vapid smelt]

you can game on graphing calculators

[torpid zenith]

can I game well on it?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l06PlYNShpQ ofc

[silk island]

no chance in hell, esp. with its monopoly on the gaming market

[torpid zenith]

Not any time soon, but remember what happened with AMD vs Intel CPUs

[silk island]

intel currently only competes in the midrange

same with amd

though i hope the release of the B580 will positively influence NVIDIA's pricing for the midrange 50-series cards when they launch

[vapid smelt]

we didnt even get a 4050 or gt/rtx 4030

[silk island]

for a card to have the rtx name doesn't it need to have support for raytracing

maybe nvidia just didn't see the purpose in making or releasing a rt-capable 4050.

they didn't release a 3030 either btw

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-1010-ddr4.c3874 we "had" the gt 1010 come out in 2021

[silk island]

thats such a pointless card

[vapid smelt]

look at the power !

[hexed moon]

perfectly playable

[silk island]

💀

Hi Kira

[patent violet]

its an odd place

lol ok

i left

[vapid smelt]

@alpine gale how can simply putting \ instead of a / evade the "great" warship

[alpine gale]

You should ask for support with your support desk. No other context. Just keep asking for support so you can use your support desk to support your support desk's support support desk.

[patent violet]

awh shit why didnt i think of that

fight generic with generic

[alpine gale]

A great question I don't have the answer to, so I'll pass it along. I will say that even if a RegEx filter of some kind were created to catch these, malicious actors would just start using Unicode characters to get around it.

[patent violet]

someones car suddenly had a TPMS register 0 PSI and it made my IoT scanning shit go apeshit

I couldnt figure out why it was alarming because I filtered everything but mine

But as it turns out, that didnt filter it for alarms

lovely

I hope it was the asshole who kept doubleparking

Ive keyed his car at least 10 times and he doesnt seem to care

I literally put "LRN 2 PRK" on his car

still cant park

someone else has put a massive gash on the passenger side

still cant park

[grim belfry]

He should’ve wrote “Learn to spell” on your car :p

[patent violet]

There was only so much space that wasnt fucked up from something else

lol

camero thats beat to shit

2 of the tires are balder than my father

Tpms breaks often

[lofty rampart]

should i return bodycam? or should i keep it?

[patent violet]

[lofty rampart]

I'm having fun but NONE of my friends have the game, and due to the fact that they're pc's probably cant run it, they probably wont be playing with me for a long time

[vapid smelt]

video game

[patent violet]

oh

[amber forge]

Well I am gonna go buy like 80% of my pc in the morning

[lofty rampart]

based

[amber forge]

Just need to decide on a cpu cooler and a gpu then find a case

Tomorrow is the cpu,mobo, ram, storage and most likely power supply

[lofty rampart]

get a 7900xt https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-MERC310-Graphics-RX-79TMERCU9/dp/B0BNLT17XQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FB1AWDIAA85N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AmH22buWFW2gLFV6LNvWiGhoMvtDH15kNHZ9OoeDD07PIjAdJ0U11xTqHbRUY-y_ITFBgsWaEAflVZsjPTn4vjUOQ4KJhDY1VVVkUH8AhmWCk3cSxh9LNdoEaJFMwXJHCbevQK1SJUfq0gzyyNmkL2_yoHahvmBBivYeuAfjrq7seRZH59i2_kJ8IXlSmEydxqkcaRkDlA05-vuo4T2tvdbwyGHMiyloNhTm-8SuggEjtOGKyATNMOrm-ojd5KMWR-m32tJupvwFq0ENiA1_1AcSTftXNTbU0dFzK4br9g-7C3bL47sYsPjq6MSBJubOLyrxsz8mOlcTfclLHhz4krD96HKrKN0p2B8dIdUhst4.wZ3EF0z5xP6PaSde1Xs_pqP495FvRBs_BNUDiHL3sos&dib_tag=se&keywords=7900+xt&qid=1735194848&s=electronics&sprefix=7900+xt%2Celectronics%2C129&sr=1-1

[amber forge]

the gpu has been the most upseting and hardest part of this process

[lofty rampart]

trust

[amber forge]

my budget was 1k, I am already 40 dollars over cause I wanted a more premium power supply

[lofty rampart]

shit
