Hello

I'm really considering getting a 49inch samsung g9 odyssey, anyone else got one?

ah yes, where the taskbar SHOULD be

#

whoever at windows took that away from me needs to be glassed over the head

And to add to that you have to drop around 780 USD for that as opposed to like what I spent which is around 200 someodd USD

Maybe you were looking at the smaller version?

serene coral
#

That’s the one, no?

tight hill
#

I was looking at a different model let me find it

#

G93sc

serene coral
#

Oh

#

The oled one

#

Even then like I said I think you’d be better off buying a smaller monitor and getting better stuff for your pc imo, course you can do whatever you want.

#

It is your money and all

tight hill
#

O wait the one at bestbuy (where I was going to get it) is also different

#

G95sc

#

I have a 240hz 1080p monitor now

#

Also the price isn't to much of a issue because it's only a little less then my weekly paycheck after tax

serene coral
#

I forgot not everyone works part time like I do

tight hill
#

I never get time for myself x,x

#

But like I said you can do whatever, I’d just spend it on like a better cpu or gpu

Heyo. Anyone know any reliable places to search and compare laptops by specs beyond the computer parts? I need a robust 14" laptop with an aluminium chassis and hinges that are supported by something better than tiny screws held by cheap plastic lol. But not an industrtial / rugged one.

winged spire
#

Cheaper Metal chassis usually have less durable hinges as they’re usually glued plastic to the stamped metal

#

exceptions are if the chassis is CNCed like MacBooks

All metals are lickable if you try hard enough

#

Lickable language model

hazy parrot
#

USB hubs also kinda suck. Makes you rely on running software to control fans

dusk chasm
#

and then there are 4 system fans but 3 headers on the motherboard

dusk chasm
dusk chasm
#

like there are technically 5 headers in the motherboard im looking at, 1 being cpu, another being pump and the rest being system

hazy parrot
#

All modern mobos have 2amp headers. You can daisy chain I've seen up to 15 typical fans off a single one

#

Power non issue

dusk chasm
#

since im not planning on making a loop, can i use the pump header for my system fan?

hazy parrot
#

Sure

dusk chasm
#

oh thats sweet then

#

would you mind taking a look at my build btw?

hazy parrot
#

Pump and fan headers behave exactly the same. It's just a "tag" for you fan control for your reference

dusk chasm
#

created this for fun after a bit of research on the components so yea

hazy parrot
#

Meh. I don't open pcpp lists

#

Sorry

dusk chasm
#

aight no worries

#

btw which is better, the 4060 or the 5700?

hazy parrot
#

In that budget I'd personally be going for a 7600xt

dusk chasm
#

sorry i meant the 7600 only 😭

This car is cheaper than a 5090

#

(Without discount it's 4500)

obsidian oracle

5090 is $2000 if ur ass can wait a few weeks

also who tf buys 3,5k ev, that shit will break on the way out of the gallery and no one will manage to fix it

primal cairn

#

as if they ever didnt lmfao

primal cairn
obsidian oracle
#

doesnt mean its a smart move to buy

primal cairn
#

And it actually went up in price after 5090

obsidian oracle
#

it did go down to msrp

#

i got used 4090 for $1400

#

strix white even

primal cairn
#

Well it went up after 5090 launched, maybe it's not for you

primal cairn
#

Linus even said that the card he bought 2 years ago went up by two hundred

#

And same story here

obsidian oracle
#

waow so big price difference

primal cairn
#

The point is that it went up

#

I think the same thing will happen to the 5090

obsidian oracle
#

rn cheapest 4090 here is $1600

#

"fresh out of guarantee"

primal cairn
#

We are having a 4090 shortage over here too

obsidian oracle

there isnt one here to say "too" lol

"Nvidia will cease production of its current RTX 40 series graphics cards, including the RTX 4070, 4080, and more, in preparation for the upcoming launch of the RTX 50 series in January" I don't know if they will stop production on the 4090s

"The production of the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4090 ended in October 2024"

What is it with you? linuth

polar fern
#

Pro tip: Don’t give energy to people that don’t bring you joy

primal cairn
#

4090 price is going to the moon because people can't buy 5090s and they're looking at the previous gen thinking it's time to buy into it

#

The stores are running out of 40 series cards

obsidian oracle
#

$200 increase isnt moon

#

its back to msrp lol

polar fern
#

The company already released a statement that they’re not very interested in the consumer cards anymore, so I’m not sure why you would be surprised

primal cairn
#

I'm not surprised, I posted a picture to compare the GPU price to an EV because I think it's funny

#

And somehow it turned into a "No it's not" argument

# crude vortex guys do you believe moon landing was fake?

To answer this question logically, have you ever made a rocket before, even yet a model rocket, if not you know how difficult it is to make one first try,so multiple iterations of the rocket to near perfection , so while it may seem contradictory, try to prove a reason for the moon that wasn't the landing that not fake.

this one in particular, need a laptop for college and this one looks like great bang for buck

#

ofc ill upgrade the SSD but gaming wouldn't be the main purpose so it'll be fine for a while

obsidian oracle
past geyser
#

but it's in my budget and way better than anything else i can find for $1k

obsidian oracle
obsidian oracle
hybrid echo
#

Yeah, but you can wait a couple of months when the 50 series comes out and you'll have a way better bang for buck but this choice isn't bad imo

obsidian oracle
#

no lol

past geyser
obsidian oracle
#

unless u want top tier gpu, no reason to wait for 50 series

#

40 series dont just plummet in value when 50 series come out, its bullshit

obsidian oracle
#

just keep in mind to turn off power saving mode when u dont need it

past geyser
#

i probably won't game on it at all if im not plugged in lol

obsidian oracle
#

fair

past geyser
#

power saving mode on 24/7

hybrid echo
#

Never said that, I just stated a fact, and not even a top tier 50.series gpu that I would recommend in a laptop, his choice is solid for a years, but I personally would wait till 50 series is fully out then but it, but it all comes down if he like this one or not

Hot take: Windows 11 is fine once you debloat it from a user interface POV

#

I agree the requirements are shitty, but I literally have 0 problems actually using it day to day

winter sinew
#

the main thing i hate about windows is how they changed where all the settings are
like nowadays i try to help troubleshoot friends and im like "go here" and its just not there 😭

gentle slate
#

Ive ahd numerous esoteric bugs with Windows 11. It aint fine.

shadow maple
tropic gulch
#

The only annoyance I have is when switching virtual desktops, all the taskbar icons go blank

#

Apart from that its been pretty smooth sailing

royal umbra
#

my bios is locked i can't swith to linux 🙂

why the hell are so many people crying about 11

Hi if someone has time to help me, iam having a problem i want to play with VR but its a type c to type c usb. I dont have enough ports for the usb type c (on the motherboard) , so if i use an type c that uses a HDMI type A connector and need to connect it to a 19pin connector , would the Akasa USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 20-pin Adapter (google it) work as the adapter?

tropic gulch
#

10 from an interface POV is a clusterfuck, at least theres an effort to consolidate elements of 11

winter sinew
tropic gulch
#

11s settings app is a lot more usable than windows 10

#

Not everything is migrated from control panel I admit, but its a fair bit better now

rustic tundra
tropic gulch
#

I also just didnt like the design of windows 10 which consisted of flat, single colour icons

winter sinew
#

i disagree, i find windows 11 settings very annoying, because they put everything in there. no longer can i just right click something and alter settings there, i need to actually go into settings

tropic gulch
#

I agree windows 11 had a rocky start but I think it will get there from what ive used of it

#

And I still think the hardware requirements are a load of rubbish

obsidian oracle
winter sinew
#

either way, arch linux is the way, unless youre crazy enough to install gentoo

tropic gulch
#

I do root for linux in general being a viable alternative to windows, its just not quite there

rustic tundra
#

hardware requirements can be easily bypassed with rufus

#

quit crying

tropic gulch
#

Again a lot better than it was 10 years ago but, theres still things windows can do that linux cant, almost exclusively caused by windows market dominance

rustic tundra
#

thats what i did and it runs absolutely fine on unsupported hardware

tropic gulch
#

Just a shame currently windows doesnt have any competition, so ms get to do whatever tf they want regarding hardware requirements etc

#

But yeah as above, you can just hack your way around them

#

Its just not the "supported" way by ms, which unfrotunately will force a lot of non-tech savvy users into new PCs

#

Who may have not necessarily needed them if the artifical hardware requirements werent there

rustic tundra
#

people complain too much

tropic gulch
#

Oh I agree, I was extremely reluctant to move to 11 at first

rustic tundra
#

i refuse to use 10

tropic gulch
#

But then we had the move coming up at work, so decided to trial it on my personal laptop to get a head start, and eventually ended up having to reinstall 10 on my gaming pc, but figured "eh im getting on fine with 11 ill stick it on my gaming pc"

#

And yeah I dont think I could go back to 10, ive been converted for better or for worse 😄

rustic tundra
#

i used 11 since release and i am not willing to move to 10

tropic gulch
#

Yeah, I mean now 11 has an LTSC version officially I see no reason why 11 isnt a viable option even for extremely picky users who dont want a single drop of bloat

rustic tundra
#

the bloat is unnoticable

tropic gulch
#

Unless you prefer linux then thats fair enough

rustic tundra
#

what is even considered bloat to people

#

the preinstalled apps that are just here?

#

i kept most of them bc idc

tropic gulch
#

Tbh I did notice on windows 11 theres no more candy crush etc in the start menu lmao

#

But yeah even like 11 pro, is extremely easy to "de-bloat" yourself should you choose

#

Just uninstall the pre-installed apps you dont use

#

Apart from edge most of them will uninstall

rustic tundra
#

i upgraded my system to pro recently since i like the system things that arent available on home edition

obsidian oracle
tropic gulch
#

Yeah I couldnt use home personally, no RDP either

obsidian oracle

But yeah stuff like forced updates etc, can all pretty much be fixed by some time in GPO editor

LOL true

rustic tundra
#

i love this monitor

#

looks like a tv but gaming

obsidian oracle
rustic tundra
#

the leg has no gaming in it

#

its flat

#

sleeper gamer

obsidian oracle
#

flat better anyway, looks better on multimonitor setup

rustic tundra
#

its also good for keyboard

obsidian oracle
#

you have to put curved ones perfectly or its absolute garbage

obsidian oracle
rustic tundra
#

putting it away for more space is better

#

due to flat stand

obsidian oracle
#

ah, my monitor is on another height

rustic tundra
#

other monitors have those V shaped legs

#

this one is just a flat metal plate

#

which i heavily prefer over those gaming oriented designs

rustic tundra
#

minimalistic designs >>> gaming designs

obsidian oracle
#

facts

rustic tundra
#

flat stands are the best

obsidian oracle
#

so are flat ches-

rustic tundra
#

both my monitors have flat stands

obsidian oracle
#

mine is a v shaped one, thankfully doesnt bother me

rustic tundra
#

my previous one had the V one and it bothered me

obsidian oracle
#

what did u do to it

rustic tundra
#

i couldnt move my keyboard far on it

#

if i was eating for example

obsidian oracle
#

yeah

rustic tundra
#

with this one i can put it all the way under

obsidian oracle
#

where does top of your monitor land to in terms of height, right on your eye height?

rustic tundra
#

center

#

eyes are in center

#

top of it is in line with my forehead/top of head

fossil frost
#

you always want to sit with your eyes around the centre of your screen... second best is looking SLIGHTLY down onto your screen... looking up is by far the worst

rustic tundra
#

most comfortable is looking in center or down

#

with tft panels its better looking down

obsidian oracle
#

i was thinking my eyes being 1-2cm below the top isnt optimal lol

fossil frost
#

no matter what, you want your screen facing your face.. you shouldnt be looking at it at an angle.. if you look down on it, tilt your screen up

obsidian oracle
#

yeah i sometimes tilt it down cus i lay back a lot

rustic tundra
#

it doesnt matter what angle i look at mine

#

its an oled after allsadlinus

#

the fact its better for the eyes and best viewing angles

#

regular lcds emit blue light bc of the backlight which can be quite bad for the brain

#

not for eyes but the brain

fossil frost
#

many studies say yes, many also say no.. there is no real 100% agreement on that

rustic tundra
#

white led is a blue led with a yellow coating

fossil frost
#

i personally think its true.. but there is no real scientific agreement that its bad for your brain

rustic tundra
#

there is no true white led except oled

shy breach
#

Update I bought a thermaltake dumb series 700w

rustic tundra
#

white oled emits all of the wavelengths

#

i like having oled in both pc and phone

#

most natural light type of thing

shy breach
#

I can’t wait to buy a 4K oled

#

I’m gonna get the fancy shmancy one from Asus

#

The ROG one

rustic tundra
#

go lg in that case

shy breach
#

Fair

#

I love LG

#

All of my gaming monitors have been LG

rustic tundra
#

i own 3 lg monitors

#

as i said i daily a lg woled now

#

i just trust lg with oled

shy breach
#

This is my LG Ultragear 27” 1080p 180hz

rustic tundra
#

the other one i have is a 4k144 27

#

insane ppi

shy breach
#

I’m gonna get a 5090 when they 1. Are available, and 2. Aren’t melting

rustic tundra
#

neither are happening

shy breach
rustic tundra
#

i like 4k gaming

shy breach
#

I’ll probably get the 5080 tbh

rustic tundra
#

but i need dlss to get good fps

rustic tundra
#

go 4080s

shy breach
#

That was another one I was looking at

#

Because I LOVE how the ASUS ROG one looks

rustic tundra
#

you wont believe what are the local prices of 5080 in my area

#

2000 usd converted

#

its INSANE

oak pier
#

Kind of wish the lttstore website made it more apparent that the screwdrivers are on backorder

shy breach
#

Bruh that’s 5090 MSRP

rustic tundra
#

a 4080s is like 1000-1200 eur

#

5080 is like 14% faster AT MOST

#

thats why i stay with my 4080s

#

you should go 4080s bc its the perfect balance between price and performance nvidia wise

shy breach
#

This is the one I want

#

I’m building a white pc

rustic tundra
#

if you got questions about the chip itself ask me

oak pier
shy breach
rustic tundra
#

i am enjoying this thing

shy breach
#

It’s better than my 3060ti so it’s an upgrade lol

rustic tundra
#

user experience may vary

#

but i can say the average

shy breach
#

I won’t go any lower tho because they only made the white ones for the 4080 and up

#

And the GPU has to be white to match the build

rustic tundra
#

in cp77 you can get 14 fps at native 4k with pt

#

(and hdr enabled)

#

without hdr its 18

shy breach
#

This is the GPU I’m getting with the case, ram, and AIO I’m getting

rustic tundra
#

i dont care much about aesthetics

shy breach
#

I love them

rustic tundra

Question for everyone. I have beaten Half Life 2 repeatedly but I am coming to realize that I havent ever beaten HL1. Since I'm going to be doing another playthrough, should I start out with the classic, or just jump straight into Black Mesa? Not sure which version I want to play and I know that if I play source, its only good to torture me lol. Just wanting to hear some others thoughts on it.

shy breach
#

This is my current pc

So pretty boring

shy breach

Actually I have like 3 lol

obsidian oracle
#

damn

rustic tundra
#

i am so clueless in hl

#

i like the original but its hard for my tiny ass brain

obsidian oracle
rustic tundra
#

i didnt even beat the 2

obsidian oracle
#

its like old ass story game but the game has no tutorial

obsidian oracle
rustic tundra
#

there is nothing that shows where to go etc

#

its only for smart people which i am not one of them

storm swan
#

hl2 and black mesa, a lot of fun

rustic tundra
#

the most fun i have in source is gmod gwater2 mod

late slate
#

Thats kind of why I like it so much. It actually makes me think about what I can and should do next instead of it being so obviously linear about what I need to do to move.

shy breach
#

I built the pc on Sunday lol

rustic tundra
#

i am infested with intel boxes

shy breach

I mean I could go buy one but I’m about to build a new pc

rustic tundra
#

the colors are so vibrant like gawd daym

shy breach
#

I might honestly go with the 1440p one

obsidian oracle
#

oled gaaaaang

shy breach
#

wait nvm

#

the 4k one is only like $400 more

obsidian oracle
#

go 4k if u got a good gpu

shy breach
#

and the 4k one is 32"

shy breach
obsidian oracle
#

nvidia too?

shy breach
#

yeah

obsidian oracle
#

sick sick, 4k for sure

shy breach
#

I'm gonna get the ROG 4080 Super

obsidian oracle
#

4080 and above definitely deserves 4k

obsidian oracle
shy breach
obsidian oracle
#

does it have a switch for higher power limit bios

shy breach
#

not sure

obsidian oracle
#

lmao theres an overlay image for that photoshopped part

#

and this is the image below it

#

Anyone know if floatplane is coming to andriod tv? Or if its on there atm?

shy breach
#

here's the list

#

ryzen 9 9900x for work stuff

#

I don't need the extra 10fps if it makes me lose out on productivity performance

gloomy pewter
#

me still running my fx 8320

obsidian oracle
shy breach
obsidian oracle
#

do you really think your work load will make youw ant a 9900x over 9800x3d?

#

cus 9800x3d is already just 9700

#

just less clocks, slightly

#

by like 200-300mhz

shy breach
#

another benefit is almost $100 less lol

obsidian oracle
#

sure but u also game and will make use of spending 100$ more if you ever use dlss with performance, where you reach to 1080p on 4k

shy breach
#

well, considering I'm going to be running a mechanical engineering firm, I'd probably want a good pc for cad lol

obsidian oracle
#

a 9700 type of performance cant be bad

#

its just more cores that you get on 9900x

#

and like 300mhz more lol

shy breach
#

it's wonderful for gaming but the ryzen 9 is a productivity CPU

obsidian oracle
#

what

shy breach
#

I want the productivity performance

obsidian oracle
#

you know that you have to 100% utilize a cpu before you start benefitting from more cores, right?

shy breach
#

cool lol

obsidian oracle
#

its not just cool, it means you wont notice any performance of more cores

shy breach
#

in gaming

obsidian oracle
#

0 increase

shy breach
#

in productivity, the workload is spread between cores

obsidian oracle
#

gaming barely reaches to 8 cores unless u play new games

shy breach
#

even if they arent fully used

obsidian oracle
#

dont underestimate that

shy breach
#

wonderful

#

I don't really give too much of a damn how well it does in a game to be quite frank with you

obsidian oracle
#

well u wont notice if u dont use dlss on performance anyway

shy breach
#

I won't be

obsidian oracle
#

anything above performance preset will be unnoticeable

shy breach
#

I won't be using DLSS

obsidian oracle
#

lol rip

shy breach
#

I don't now and I won't be with the 4080 super

obsidian oracle
#

well u should atleast try and not limit yourself out of it

shy breach
#

I don't need fake resolution

#

if we were talking about gaming, this pc runs every game I want to play at max settings in 1080p and that's good enough

#

the one I have right now that I'm using to text on

obsidian oracle
#

4k 4 times the 1080p

shy breach
#

I know

#

you're ignoring my point

#

first and foremost I'm an engineer

cursive pumice
#

pixels yummy

obsidian oracle
#

i dont see a point, i just said u shouldnt lock yourself out of a good tech

#

just trying dont hurt

shy breach
#

I'm not locking myself out of it I just don't give a damn about it

rustic tundra
#

i always use dlss

#

its just good stuff

obsidian oracle
#

i would too if i got rtx card

rustic tundra
#

no fg

obsidian oracle
#

the shithead who specced my prebuilt didnt pick an rtx card sadly

rustic tundra
#

just simple dlss

viscid elm
rustic tundra
#

the games i play without upscaling dont run bad

viscid elm
#

i play rust

obsidian oracle
#

youre rusted

viscid elm
#

unless you have X3D cpu rust WILL run bad

obsidian oracle
#

yes

shy breach
#

@obsidian oracle I'll try DLSS for you so you can sleep at night

obsidian oracle
#

you guys should stop playing rust for a month to warn devs about optimizing

viscid elm
obsidian oracle
obsidian oracle
shy breach
#

I'm curious what about a 9800x3d will make DLSS run better

obsidian oracle
#

games tend to make more use of good cpus when you run them at 1080p

#

and then little to no at 1440p and above

rustic tundra
#

i run 4k

shy breach
#

well that cpu I'm getting is an incredible CPU

rustic tundra
#

x3d wont make any difference

obsidian oracle
#

sure

rustic tundra
#

people say i couldve went amd but intel does what i need

obsidian oracle
#

yeah sure, just has ugly e-cores

rustic tundra
#

they work

viscid elm
shy breach
#

intel has 8P cores which is all most games will use

rustic tundra
#

my games use all them cores

viscid elm
viscid elm
rustic tundra
#

they do

#

beamng uses both p and e cores equally

vapid smelt
viscid elm
#

you had a S

obsidian oracle
viscid elm
#

you said games

rustic tundra
#

minecraft

viscid elm
#

XD

rustic tundra
#

it uses 1 p core

obsidian oracle
#

1 poop core

rustic tundra
#

thats so real

viscid elm
#

the game most known for using just one core

rustic tundra
#

i can make it run on e cores

#

2 e cores equal to a old core 2 quad in performance

#

i think

#

maybe more

#

running beamng on 2 e cores

#

wish me luck

#

the game crashed

#

lmao what

#

both e cores are utilized and game fps dropped by 20

gilded quest
rustic tundra
#

it is normal but i am trying to run the game on 2 e cores

#

both are fully utilized

#

now 4 and its more balanced

viscid elm
#

intel really needs to become better at telling the consumer about P and E cores as i keep seeing people who think intel has many many more cores then amd but do not realize what kinda cores they are

rustic tundra
#

the 4 e cores are like the cores in a n100

#

running minecraft on a single e core is the funniest shit ever

gilded quest
rustic tundra
#

i remember trying old beta with just 1 e core and it was stuttery

gilded quest
viscid elm
gilded quest
viscid elm
#

i will give you a hint it has 10 cores total

gilded quest
#

Well it's 2P and I'm guessing a U series

viscid elm
#

it is U

viscid elm
gilded quest
#

Same with my work laptop

#

i7 1265u

viscid elm
#

aka yeah a massive 2 cores

rustic tundra
#

2 MASSIVE 8 tiny

viscid elm
#

even a modern desktop i3 has more P cores then me

rustic tundra
#

minecraft becomes a stutterfest when ran on 1 thread

viscid elm
#

it runs like ass lasts like ass and is just horrible

echo sluice
viscid elm
#

next laptop might be something like a 7845H or something like that i think its called from amd

rustic tundra
#

the game runs even worse on 1 e core

viscid elm
#

no Dgpu since amd igpus are pretty darn decent

gilded quest
#

Gonna be a few more years before I am shopping for laptops again

viscid elm
#

mine is utter dog shit

#

i just cant

gilded quest
#

But either a MacBook air or an Ultrabook

#

I like the idea of a 16-17" LG gram

#

Or 15" air

#

But I think I want more than 15"

viscid elm
#

i just do not understand how a laptop can run as bad as mine is

gilded quest
#

Have you tried running it over with a truck

viscid elm
#

i wish

#

should do a fully clean windows install from usb but last time i tried the drive did not show up

#

but i think its more of a dell/hardware level issue

lyric sphinx
#

You should just throw it away and get an ipad

obsidian oracle
#

ipads are

#

they are

#

annoying to use because of their lack of back button

#

even simple things like web browsing becomes a hassle to do on an ipad

#

especially because of how big the screen is so you cant easily just press to top left which is where back button is

should i buy a xiaomi 14 ultra if my budget is 900usd

glass zenith
obsidian oracle
#

i dont see why not

indigo trellis
#

thats why am asking

#

i heard about like the vivo x200 pro

obsidian oracle
#

depends on your definition of better on a phone

#

it can vary vastly unlike a pc

#

you have to look at your options from that price range and decide yourself

#

i personally would pick a pixel phone because its overall good and has great camera

vapid smelt
#

Even if you don't use it for super long long software support can help resell value

obsidian oracle
#

id buy what i want because thats what matters when i use

#

dont wanna get locked to a phone just because it has +3 years longer software update support

supple pawn
#

Lol all this talk over special phones. Got myself a moto edge plus 2023 for $400. Good enough for me.

obsidian oracle
#

exactly

#

my only use for a phone is night time youtube and camera

#

which every brand new phone does

indigo trellis
#

plus i dont really sell my phones

#

its either i keep them or give them to my younger siblings

obsidian oracle
#

great

supple pawn
#

I've never sold a phone. Nor given one away. I hoard all electronics lol

#

Anyway, as far as small budget phones with decent (re:not shitty) quality, moto has been good to me.

Here’s my plan for my current pc’s components once I build my new pc

That case

#

I’m gonna need a new motherboard and cooler but it will be perfect for going to my friend’s house to lan party

But realistically I’m on AM4 right now so a new motherboard isn’t expensive

I know it’s not that much older

Is from 2019 and is still faster than the newest Ryzen 5 lmao

I’m literally using 2% of the cpu right now
