[oblique terrace]

Round 2 of baked circuits

[dusky crest]

HOW

[clear canyon]

I looked at 6800xt on accident

[dusky crest]

Lmao

[jagged hazel]

my sisters friend had a alienware pc that crapped itself and he took the ram and storage and he was looking for an excuse to build a new pc and i was able to get the gpu from it

[dusky crest]

I got a GeForce 8600 gs for free, all blown caps, output has artifacts

[dusky crest]

Neat

[flint badger]

I got a 4070 for 325 and a 3080ti for 350

[dusky crest]

Why even bother with what looks like am3

[oblique terrace]

It is

[clear canyon]

Wow, nice finds

[rare musk]

ah okay

[smoky karma]

i saw ebuyer selling a 3080ti on clearance for 449 gbp

[jagged hazel]

sadly the 475 i made is going towards debt i have and not a new gpu

[oblique terrace]

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

[flint badger]

Yeahhh

[clear canyon]

I got a 3090 for 700

[velvet minnow]

I stole something for free

[clear canyon]

And a 3060ti (2 years ago) for 240

[dusky crest]

How did that happen

[flint badger]

I just got a 3060ti in a build for 425 came with monitor mic and kbm

[dusky crest]

I stole 2gb ddr3 from my school like 3 or 4 years ago

[velvet minnow]

maybe a cm of tolerance

[flint badger]

And i7-12th gen

[velvet minnow]

[dusky crest]

How long is a 1070 fe again

[jagged hazel]

good price for a new 7800 XT?

[velvet minnow]

like 270 mm

[dusky crest]

Uhh i don't want a thing that sounds like a spacecraft

[jagged hazel]

cuz i have debt that isnt pc related

[smoky karma]

i know in brasil 3060 still goes for like 2049 Reai or like 283 gbp or 358 usd

[jagged hazel]

and its due the 22nd

[velvet minnow]

car payment

[flint badger]

Crazy asf

[dusky crest]

How u got debt i wanna know

[jagged hazel]

my car is paid off

[velvet minnow]

im guessing

that seemed like a car payment esque amount

[jagged hazel]

well the debt is 291$

so ill have some left over

[velvet minnow]

thats a strange amount

[jagged hazel]

yeah ik

[velvet minnow]

credit card payment?

[jagged hazel]

[rare musk]

poop, i can find it for $530

[dusky crest]

https://www.amazon.de/7800-16GB-Speedster-SWFT210-GDDR6/dp/B0D9QKFT9T
With a lil wiggling, it'll fit

[velvet minnow]

was not expecting german amazon

[clear canyon]

I highly doubt that, 3090 and 4090s are keeping their value very well

[rare musk]

3090 is overpriced as fuck, tfym

[clear canyon]

Its bc of their 24gigs

[jagged hazel]

how much does that cost in eagle?

[dusky crest]

Sorry for me living in Europe, also that gpu should be on us amazon as well

[bold laurel]

should i overclock my GTX 1660 and my amd ryzen 5 3600 because i cant upgrade my specs

[rare musk]

fuck 24gig, shit doesnt do considerably better than 3080 in gaming

[bold laurel]

i got an 800W power supply and 64gb ram

[clear canyon]

They are not buying them for gaming, they are so high bc the 24gigs of vram is awsome for ai

[velvet minnow]

oh dont apologize, I just opened it and got a warning screen all in german

[clear canyon]

It won't do much but yeah

[rare musk]

smh

[bold laurel]

what should i use to overclock it?

[velvet minnow]

also it isnt available on US amazon rn womp womp

[clear canyon]

That's what I'm using my 3090 for lol

[dusky crest]

Remember that's with taxes, but about 546usd

[rare musk]

useless

[dusky crest]

Lmao

[jagged hazel]

yeah cuz eagle taxes are weird and seperate

[clear canyon]

Mai afterburner for gpu and ryzen master for cpu, also enable PBO in bios

[jagged hazel]

I think i could get one for 529 eagles before tax

[velvet minnow]

and was like oh i cant read this

[clear canyon]

Nope, very nice. Just hot

[smoky karma]

i have to pay vat on everything i buy anyway

[dusky crest]

So actually cheaper here after taxes

[jagged hazel]

yeah :(

[dusky crest]

Just press the not highlighted button and be chillin

[dusky crest]

Which i didin't expect tbh

[velvet minnow]

oh no it was fine i figured it out, it just made me laugh

[jagged hazel]

acctually that same one is 519 eagles b4 tax

[velvet minnow]

hmmm the rx 6400 is priced very nicely

jk hilarious downgrade

[jagged hazel]

i wanna upgrade my 6700

[dusky crest]

I'll get this one because white lmao
https://www.amazon.de/Speedster-QICK319-Radeon-Graphics-RX-78TQICKW9/dp/B0CV7PQ5Y9

[jagged hazel]

too espensive rn tho

[dusky crest]

Still after taxes it costs more across the pond

[dusky crest]

Ok lmao

[velvet minnow]

i like that the german word for graphic card is
a. a single word
b. spelled exactly like how i would expect it to be

[jagged hazel]

i dunno

[dusky crest]

Lmao
Tbh i don't understand German either, just that there ain't amazon for Finland, so German one makes the most sense

[velvet minnow]

huh

[jagged hazel]

as an eagle im very confused

[smoky karma]

how much is the shipping to finland anyway ?

i know swedes do the same thing, buy pc parts in germany and get them shipped

[jagged hazel]

minecraft is one of 2 games thats ever put my old pc to it's knees

[dusky crest]

9.99€
I converted to eagles with shipping included
Well for that gpu it's 9.99€

[median warren]

i installed a 380 mod modpack and sildurs shaders, my gpu be coughing

[azure topaz]

minecraft with mods like shaders is laughably unoptimized

[smoky karma]

9,99 shipping isnt too bad

[azure topaz]

its quite silly

[jagged hazel]

but also rtx minecraft and higher res textures

but on fabulously optimized i get like 1400 fps

w/o shaders at 16 chunk

[bold laurel]

if i put like +100 clock in the core and memory does it instantly use it?

[median warren]

it was worth it tho

[sage lily]

anyone know when we will get reviews for the 5070ti

or do we not get them?

[jagged hazel]

try big globe

[median warren]

wdym

[jagged hazel]

the mod

[dusky crest]

Minecraft java is unoptimized full stop.

[jagged hazel]

big globe mod

[median warren]

nah i just wanna have fun

what does it do tho

[bold laurel]

oooh

[jagged hazel]

more realistic generation

[jagged hazel]

2048 blocks of world height but itll bring your cpu to it's knees

[bold laurel]

which world generation?

[median warren]

its modded

[bold laurel]

yea which

[median warren]

that sounds horrifying

[median warren]

like what mod?

[jagged hazel]

its honestly pretty

[bold laurel]

yea

[jagged hazel]

rivers are thousands of blocks long

real peaks and valleys n all

[bold laurel]

ooh

[jagged hazel]

and theres a different gen mod too

terralith?

[bold laurel]

im using terralith

and my server has almost 200gb of space used rn

[median warren]

wow

[jagged hazel]

theres more mods as well

[median warren]

best feature fr

okay imma stop now

[jagged hazel]

jjthunder to the max

try that one

[bold laurel]

@median warren what specs is your pc?

[cunning cloud]

reccs for a 65% creamy key keyboards under $60?

[median warren]

14700k, 4080 super, 32gb 7200mhz ram, samsung 990 pro m.2 ssd

[rare musk]

what feature lol thats a mod

[jagged hazel]

jesus

[median warren]

yes thats what i mean, best feature from a mod

[bold laurel]

dayum

all that for minecraft

[jagged hazel]

i can feel that fr

minecraft made me upgrade my cpu

which made me build a whole new pc

[median warren]

i play other games too

[bold laurel]

minecraft is gonna make me upgrade my whole pc

i got a GTX1660 and a AMD ryzen 5 3600

[jagged hazel]

i swear

[bold laurel]

64gb ram and 2tb storage nvme

[jagged hazel]

i have ryzen 7 9700x 32gb ram 3tb of nvme and rx 6700

i wanna upgrade the 6700

[bold laurel]

damn

i wanna upgrade everything

[jagged hazel]

it made me build a whole new pc

sold the old one

[rare musk]

go 3080

9700x deserves more than 6700

[jagged hazel]

but jj thuder to the max is more focused on the above ground generation and has mountains like 2k blocks tall

[bold laurel]

well its or i want a new dirtbike or a new pc

[jagged hazel]

i want 7800XT

[rare musk]

uh

thats pretty much same as 3080

im sure 3080 is cheaper on most used markets

[random gyro]

thanks for sending this, ima go play mc now

[jagged hazel]

maybe but im already with Radeon

[rare musk]

thats not a reason to keep buying amd

especially not when nvidia have so much better feature set

[latent gull]

Oh boy we love our gimmicks

[jagged hazel]

3080 ti?

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah, but vanilla optifine(or if you wanna go the fabric and sodium blah blah route yeah) you still get like 800 fps lol

[latent gull]

I used to play modded Java with a fx4000 chip and a gt730. It’s fine.

[jagged hazel]

4080 prolly too expensive rn

[azure topaz]

3080tis are generally overprcied

if you can find one for not much more than an average 3080 (so like 500$) it wouldnt be bad

[jagged hazel]

cuz i would honestly love to upgrade the 6700

[latent gull]

9000 series about to come out, amd used prices might go down

[jagged hazel]

that's the hope

[latent gull]

If the cards are worth fuck all

[jagged hazel]

but 3080 vs 7800XT?

[azure topaz]

same perf

[jagged hazel]

so whichever one i can find cheaper?

[azure topaz]

thatll be the 3080

[latent gull]

I’d do 3080 personally, but I had some issues with the 7800xt that other people didn’t seem to

[azure topaz]

i had both a 3080 and a 7800xt

i went from the 3080 to the 7800xt (knowingly, yes)

[latent gull]

I have a 3070 and a 7800xt, I prefer the 3070

[azure topaz]

the perf is 1:1 and the amd card has shitty features so

[jagged hazel]

Hm

[azure topaz]

oh and rt performance

[jagged hazel]

there is that

[latent gull]

Same from a 3070, and then I went back to the 3070 after about a year of use

[azure topaz]

10 gigs of vram sucks but so does every downside on the 7800xt 😭

[azure topaz]

im gonna pick up a 4080 or 5080 or somethin

[jagged hazel]

i wish i could get a 4080

[wicked dew]

pro b660m-a ddr4 does that have 2 ssd slots

[azure topaz]

eyeballs, do you have them

[delicate zodiac]

bought 5700x 6750 xt, 32gb and it is insane i bought this pc for 820$ and 4 years ago i bought for same money gtx 1650, 16 gb ram, 2600x

[azure topaz]

(yes)

[jagged hazel]

How much are used 4080s?

[azure topaz]

a lot™️

[wicked dew]

have you ever considered people don’t know what there looking for or does that tiny wired brain of yours struggle to comprehend

[whole garden]

lol

[azure topaz]

have you considered asking a little nicer or that youre getting helped for free and that you can take a joke

[delicate zodiac]

optifines prime was 4 years ago now its fabric mods like sodium, lithium etc,...

[azure topaz]

i gave you the right answer literally right acfterward with a nice image even

keep cryin

[wicked dew]

hey man i was just joking baby girl why you crying baby, why you crying

[azure topaz]

yeah i know i just dont play a ton of minecraft so im not super updated on it

[wicked dew]

but i appreciate your answer

and thank you

[azure topaz]

🫡 enjoy da ssd

[jagged hazel]

So my best bet Is a used 3080

[azure topaz]

for like 350-400 yea

[boreal vine]

it is set to release on feb 20 so the embargo / reviews should come out then

[azure topaz]

should get you somehting like a gigabyte gaming oc whatever that means

(i had one, not the worst tbh)

[boreal vine]

no, 6800xt would serve you better for that price

[azure topaz]

what

thats the dumbest shit ive read

[boreal vine]

how is it dumb?

6800xt performs better and can be found for the same price

[sage lily]

we dont get reviews before the release... i just have to chance it

[azure topaz]

DLSS, RT 🫡

[lapis condor]

Reviews come on the 19th

[sage lily]

thank you

[trim idol]

FSR3 is as good as DLSS 3

[azure topaz]

no it is not

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lies-liar-bullshit-so-that-was-gif-15334130

[trim idol]

and the number of games where RT is transformative are vanishingly small

[sage lily]

do we recon the 5070t is the gpu for 5120x1440

[chilly escarp]

what software do you guys recommend for testing new usb sticks? I'm getting extreamly slow writing speeds with a kingston exodia 64 gb.

[boreal vine]

is it worth trading traditional raster performance and vram for purty lights and fake frames?

[trim idol]

It really is these days, and FSR 4 is going to be even better

[azure topaz]

FSR 4 isnt coming to the RX 6000 series

[jagged hazel]

you think so?

[azure topaz]

when its a scenario youre using the upscaling tech regardless, yes

[trim idol]

thought it remains to be seen how well DLSS 4 will run on 3000 series cards

[tidal geyser]

Its a usb stick

[azure topaz]

FSR has pisspoor motion rendering in every scenario

[chilly escarp]

1 mb?

[lapis condor]

Fake frames this fake frames that

Does it matter if the end result looks great still?

[chilly escarp]

and randomly stopping for 2-3 seconds and then starting again?

[trim idol]

okie mr grouchie pants

[chilly escarp]

nah, I haven't had this issue with other usbs before.

[bronze summit]

I'm tired boss

[jagged hazel]

i have 128gb pny i keep on my keychain and its great

but also now im confused over the gpu

[boreal vine]

if you're playing comp games, then yes but for single player games it hardly matters

[azure topaz]

can you guess what is FSR? 💀

[chilly escarp]

but what software do you recommend?

[bronze summit]

3

[lapis condor]

Ok but who the fuck plays comp games with any form of upscaling

[jagged hazel]

what i use is crystal disk

[trim idol]

Either way, I've been pretty impressed with FSR3 of late. it looks good. DLSS4 is also really good on my 4070Ti. Both are improving a lot

[bronze summit]

I mean depends on the game but I often just use FidelityFX Cas

[wicked dew]

so if i use a software to swap over my stuff and windows from my ssd 770 to my 990 will that make it my boot drive

[azure topaz]

stalker is an example of upscaling kinda sucking in every scenario but dlss is still infinitely better at motion in it

[boreal vine]

the way it's going forward, alot of games, ue5 games notoriously relies on upscaling to make up for the lack luster optimization that comes with that engine

[jagged hazel]

sobbing

[trim idol]

There are so many settings that come into play. I've seen DLSS look just as bad. Like the transparent bottles that appear and disappear in CP2077

[lapis condor]

Damn even xess can do better than that

Can do/is

[azure topaz]

i can whip out like 60 games having poor motion rendering with fsr. wanna knoww why? cause its just how the tech works 😭

they dont have a fucking super computer to pump out data for the fake frames like nvidia does

[bronze summit]

Cyberounk 2077 is cool

[trim idol]

easy now, big

[random gyro]

mid game my monitor is going black, any idea why? i have a FE 3090 12900k ddr5 ram 32gb and neo g9 monitor

[bronze summit]

I play on I think Ultra

With Transformer Balanced

[azure topaz]

this is why fsr4 isnt coming to previous gen gpus, because amd is moving to an ai based solution for upscaling

[trim idol]

Most people here will say that a 6800XT is as good as a 3080, but you can have your opinion as well

[carmine yew]

for raster they're generally comprable, yes

[bronze summit]

Mid Game my monitor is going black, any idea why? I have a 5090 FE, DDR5 256GB and ROG Swift Pro PG248QP NVIDIA® G-SYNC® esports gaming monitor ― 24.1-inch FHD, 540 Hz overclocked (above 360Hz), Esports-TN panel, NVIDIA® Reflex Analyzer, ULMB 2, adjustable base, ESS codec, DisplayHDR™ 400

[chilly escarp]

crystaldiskinfo is not registering my usb stick, I have tried to format it to exfat and ntfs earlier for fedora media writer, but I had the same exact issue. what else could I do to fix it?

[boreal vine]

6800xt is closer to 3080ti than 3080 is to the 3080ti

[azure topaz]

not even techpowerup says that

[bronze summit]

Do people care about visual fidelity in Multiplayer CoD?

[azure topaz]

a lot actually

at least i do

[boreal vine]

[trim flicker]

[azure topaz]

noww turn on dlss 🔥

[trim idol]

Yeah I know, but I didn't feel like opening that can of worms.

[azure topaz]

something id do anywways at 1440p 👍

which is why its even my argument

[bronze summit]

Why did you pick the worst CoD for this testing

[azure topaz]

i use the upscaling tech im not going to forget about it for the sake of comparison

also yeah cod is super amd based cause its a console game

[trim idol]

excellent. You do you

[boreal vine]

because i have mentioned cod before

[dusky crest]

Only reason minecraft is even playable on my potato is optimization mods

[bronze summit]

Whatever happened to that notion that FPS Games work better with AMD? Did that die with CSGO?

[gusty wagon]

Valentine valentines

Stop playing your games and start playing with your partner

[azure topaz]

was that ever a thing

[boreal vine]

[gloomy sleet]

wonder how good dlss 4 will be compared to dlss 3.10 on my 4060

[latent gull]

I think I’m happy with my 3070 for a while longer. Raytracing and DLSS doesn’t appeal to me, and it can run everything I need. Imma use that upgrade money on switch 2 and legion go 2 this year instead

[azure topaz]

what the fuck even is this site 😭

[whole garden]

[azure topaz]

yo swear to god just read this and my nose started bleeding

[boreal vine]

you go take it, but don't go calling someone advising to get a 6800xt instead of a 3080 the dumbest thing you have ever heard and not expect a discussion about it

[wispy crypt]

Something that Just came to mind. About 6 months ago, I ordered some stuff online, through postal service, postnord. About 3 days later, I got an sms message saying I had to pay the import fee. Nothing weird about it since the wares was over seas. However, after clicking on the link in text message, I checked the URL which was indeed www.postnord.se, and clicked around on the website too see if it was also functional, I could even bring up the chat feature and everything. I tried to enter www.postnord.se also manually to double check how the website should look like, and it was a exact replica of the fake one I was linked in the text mesage. What made me sus was that the import fee was about 0.5 euro in cost, so I just decided to ignore it, and a day later, my wares arrived perfectly fine. So my question here is, how could the scammer make the website + the URL identical with the real site? I know about HOSTS files, but I doubt that's how they did it.

[gleaming rose]

[trim idol]

I think people that use RT as a reason need to watch HUB's videos on RT

[azure topaz]

this is true, and that antisocial tech friend would pick a 3080 🔥

DLSS is my headlining reason

[azure topaz]

RT is just the cherry on top esepcially ccause the nvidia card is like fuckin morbillion times faster

[plush wren]

[bronze summit]

No the anti social tech friend would grab a 40 series or get a 6800XT if the friend doesn't care about Ray Tracing

[trim idol]

only if they're a shill for team green 😉

[azure topaz]

im a shill for a funcionally better experience 👍

[wispy crypt]

Seems like it has been auto-deleted.

[trim idol]

AMD cards have more value per dollar. Have for ages, now

[jagged hazel]

i meant 7800XT

but

[boreal vine]

better experience in question:

[azure topaz]

if a 6800XT and a 3080 are the same price they have the same value per dollar because theyre within 2% of eachother AND the nvidia card has dlss 😭

[bronze summit]

Anyways what food shall I cook for Valley times Day

[jagged hazel]

ive heard differing opinions and now im confused

[azure topaz]

theyre both fucking 350-400$ on ebay 😭

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

oh my god in a comical turn of events

[wicked dew]

so if i use a software to swap over my stuff and windows from my ssd 770 to my 990 will that make it my boot drive

[bronze summit]

You think I should be romantic and shit and cook getti

[azure topaz]

the fucking 6800xt is MORE expensive

so all of you get fucked

[jagged hazel]

havent you asked this like 5 times?

[boreal vine]

that and gin pls

[shy olive]

Looks like a 4090ti and two 3060 and one 5090 and a 1080

[jagged hazel]

and then you have to set it as boot in bios

[azure topaz]

(3 fan is my example not the dell)

If you need to boot into windows, most of the free cloning software are predatory - they want a subscription. Clonezilla requires a usb but it's free and it's infinite devices for infinite amount of time.

[boreal vine]

this one

[bronze summit]

Anyways why are you guys fighting over this, if some assholes shows up and asks for a PC build they're gonna be asking for new Gen anyways

[azure topaz]

i picked reasonable cards too, not weird blowers cause that wwould give more advantage to the 3080

[boreal vine]

tasty stuff

[azure topaz]

i picked a normal 3 fan for both

[gusty wagon]

Ooh, i want rum

3080 is the pick yo 🫡

In 2022*

[azure topaz]

to be honest this isnt about you i was entirely proving a point now

[trim idol]

Had the wrong one. here you are

[boreal vine]

it's either this or

[gusty wagon]

Well... that's across different days. I could eat all of these across three days, at the very most

[azure topaz]

you inspect elemented this one

LOOK in my sceeenshot dude

[trim idol]

I did, lol

[gusty wagon]

I'll take kraken and exclusiva

[azure topaz]

jesus fuck 😭

[trim idol]

I'm just having too much fun fucking with you now

[plush wren]

[verbal prawn]

smh

[jagged hazel]

sobbing

[lapis condor]

Being wrong is worth than death

[azure topaz]

thats the thing youre not fucking with me its just making yourself look stupid lol

[boreal vine]

the one me and @rigid fjord drinks is good

[verbal prawn]

i was about to go on ebay an look for that one to buy it

[plush wren]

What

[azure topaz]

for this message to have a typo is peak

[boreal vine]

dead man's finger

[trim idol]

I'm really not, because I already said that you can go and have a 3080 and that's cool. I'll get an AMD card and that's okay

[jagged hazel]

god what have i started

[boreal vine]

pretty good shit

[lapis condor]

So it does

[trim idol]

best typo

[azure topaz]

actual cinema bro

[boreal vine]

maybe the typo was the fiends we made along the ways

[lapis condor]

I'm busy watching people do funny viddy game things

[bronze summit]

Also why are we using 3080 against 6800XT, wouldn't a 3080ti be more appropriate

[jagged hazel]

the original is 3080 vs 7800XT

[trim idol]

yeah, but we didn't want to open that can of worms with floppa

[plush wren]

[jagged hazel]

3080 ti is overpriced

[plush wren]

What about the 3090

[bronze summit]

Just get a 7900 GRE lmao

[jagged hazel]

i didnt wanna go that far

[azure topaz]

every kinda high vram card is overpriced

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

so anything 16+ is kinda oof

[jagged hazel]

i just wanna upgrade my 6700 :(

[azure topaz]

cause the uhh deep seeek

[forest lotus]

I mean 6900XT beats 3080ti for 1080/1440p iirc

[bronze summit]

https://tenor.com/view/the-deep-the-boys-gif-26305579

[boreal vine]

recently the have been

[azure topaz]

yea

[boreal vine]

I managed to snag a 6800 for like 220 GBP last year same time / month

[azure topaz]

deepseek local models

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/ai-cancer-digital-artificial-intelligence-gif-17315891436684116068

[verbal prawn]

when 6090

[azure topaz]

the uhh "good" one requires at least 16 gigs so thats what people snatch

[trim idol]

kinda the worst time in general. With the new cards being paper launches, all the used cards have gone up in price, and tons of other new cards are out of stock

[azure topaz]

and theres a better one thats like 20 idk the full info

[boreal vine]

I've got a particularly rare model of the 6800 as well so kinda made my money back on that card already

[forest lotus]

6900XT perf at 1080/1440p

[boreal vine]

it's the only 2 slot model of that card

[jagged hazel]

how are we on the 6900xt now

[plush wren]

Lmao

[rare musk]

it has 69 on the name

[forest lotus]

Nice

[bronze summit]

Normalize eating ram sticks

[verbal prawn]

floppa what do you bet the msrp is for the 9070xt

[rare musk]

3080

its within 1% of 7800 xt

[rare musk]

protogens already normalized it

[forest lotus]

Iirc GRE has basically same pref of 6900XT/6950xt

[bronze summit]

I think they should DIE

[rare musk]

WTF RUDE

[plush wren]

DIE - detect it easy

[rigid fjord]

cornish rum, one of the best ones to for

[plush wren]

[forest lotus]

Tpus charts are only for ballpark and aren't fully accurate

[trim idol]

this.

[rare musk]

doesnt have to be fully accurate

[forest lotus]

They don't properly retest so its kinda gooberd

[forest lotus]

Accuracy is necessary when gauging pref

[rare musk]

these are gpus that are out for years, everyone know what they have to know

[forest lotus]

Still proper retesting would be nice

[bronze summit]

They smell bad

[jagged hazel]

im just gonna go throw a dart at a board and buy what ever one it lands on atp

and btw thats a joke ^

[trim idol]

except driver updates can change performance a lot, so depending on what games they used, the charts could be off by a fair bit

we often see changes of 5%-10% in games with driver updates, and in extreme cases, up to 30%

[forest lotus]

Like my 6900XT's pref can change by up to 3-4% sometimes going driver to driver

On avg

[rare musk]

it is what it is

[trim idol]

not to mention whatever state windows was in when the testing was done as we saw with the 9000 series AMD CPUS

[jagged hazel]

but is the general consensus 3080 over 7800XT?

[forest lotus]

Could be better tbh

[trim idol]

Or we look at updated charts like HUBs big retests

[bronze summit]

How much money you have

[jagged hazel]

nothing yet lol but once i do

[rare musk]

too much work for something im not gonna have anything to do with

[trim idol]

perfornance is in the same ballpark, so it comes down to budget and new vs used

[forest lotus]

Id say get 7800xt if you want a more budget option but a 3080ti if you want more prefomant but used option.

[jagged hazel]

so back to whatever i can find cheapest

[forest lotus]

Yeah

[rare musk]

not ti, normal 3080

[forest lotus]

Then xt all the way

[rare musk]

ti gets to 3090 performance stats

[bronze summit]

Just get a 7900 GRE once you got the money

[trim idol]

7900GRE's are hard to find rn

[rigid fjord]

kraken is always good to get, but if you can, look up some dmf

[ripe spire]

Wow we’re all such relationship havers, look at us all on valentines 😭😂

[rare musk]

theyre like lowkey special edition too so its normal

[plush wren]

but then youd be targetting one

[forest lotus]

And GRE's have the very nerfed mem.

I dislike the gre

[trim flicker]

wdym

[gusty wagon]

I'd need to see if anyone sells it here

[ripe spire]

Okay Miss Can’t Relate

[bronze summit]

I'm a bit busy planning on cooking Spagbol

[jagged hazel]

that's assuming i can properly throw a dart

[true stirrup]

I'm at the gym rn and it's absolutely packed with just dudes

[ripe spire]

Hell yeah I love spagbowl

[plush wren]

ye but youd still be aiming for one

[rigid fjord]

tbf, not sure if dmf sells outside of the uk

[ripe spire]

😂😂😂
All the dudes tryna be better to get a girl in time for next valentines

[bronze summit]

Although I need a Brit to provide me a recipe of Spaghetti Bolognese

[neat flame]

[ripe spire]

Hi @plush wren

[plush wren]

Hi

[neat flame]

[ripe spire]

At least I got a first date on Monday to look forward to 🤷‍♂️

(She knows fuck all abt tech, idk what ima talk abt, im cooked)

[bronze summit]

Dear British People,

Give me spaghetti Bolognese recipes.

-Signed, The Zombies

[rigid fjord]

add a teaspoon of paprika to it

[ripe spire]

I’m not a cook

-Signed, British person

[plush wren]

[trim flicker]

uhh, chuck in whatever spices you have in the cabinet

[true stirrup]

Tech so it won't be hard to find something in common

[bronze summit]

Too much flavor for the incompetent British mind

[ripe spire]

Idk what u mean here

[gusty wagon]

There is an importer! @rigid fjord

[ripe spire]

Ouch, that was uncalled for

Where r u from then

[rare musk]

you mean imposter?

Isn't it better that you can talk to someone about something you both know a lot about? It's an easy conversation

[ripe spire]

True, nah it’ll be fine tho, even if I’m madly obsessed with tech and she isn’t

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it's similar malibu

[gusty wagon]

I'm going to get the black one after i'm back in two weeks

[bronze summit]

¿ Pre packaged Curry is shit in here and the Genuine Indian Cooked Curry is about 25 GBP

[rigid fjord]

okies, there is a purple one with green writing, avoid it unless you like the taste of aniseed

[neat flame]

damn 25 gbp

[rare musk]

wok*

[neat flame]

i should start a business

[ripe spire]

Wait hold on a minute, the 5090 gets the same fps at 4k that my XTX gets at 1440p, what the actual fuck-

[gloomy sleet]

thats way too much

[neat flame]

yea the 5090 is pretty fast

[bronze summit]

It's a big ass plate btw, it's pretty decent but holy it's too good

[jagged hazel]

couldn't do it without AI

[gusty wagon]

Star anise?

[solar violet]

this for 2150 euros

[bronze summit]

Tbh I'd rather just spend 12 pounds on a buffet

[gusty wagon]

Omg coffee rum, kahlua!?

[jagged hazel]

sorry i use eagles

[neat flame]

2150 euros?

[rigid fjord]

that's average for a good curry tbh

[neat flame]

idk that seems too much

[solar violet]

my friend is scared to build pc so he only wants prebuilt

[rigid fjord]

nope, aniseed

[solar violet]

from Austria

[gusty wagon]

Show him both videos on how to build a pc

Five hours ought to be enough content

I miss 5h wan shows

[jagged hazel]

id start crying

[gusty wagon]

Hmm...

[neat flame]

yea 25 gbp is pretty high, unless its enough for a whole family then maybe

[solar violet]

he wont build it

[jagged hazel]

just build it for him

[solar violet]

for me this doesnt look good for 2150

[bronze summit]

Like people don't get how good Vegas Chinese Buffet is

[solar violet]

i dont live in Austria

[gusty wagon]

Oh it's the seed of star anise. We use star anise in bone broth and vegetable stew

[jagged hazel]

me either i feel like it should have better gpu

[rigid fjord]

might be the same thing by a different name i guess, the purple one contains cbd from canabis

[solar violet]

does amazon have good prebuilt pcs?

[jagged hazel]

meh

[quick stag]

mac setups 🔥

[rigid fjord]

@gusty wagon these are dmf's rums, they also have a tequilla

[jagged hazel]

too idealistic for me

[junior valve]

how much can i sell this psu for?

[bronze summit]

Old man

[jagged hazel]

too clean

[neat flame]

clean

[bronze summit]

70$

[rigid fjord]

2 of the tequilla's they do @gusty wagon

[gusty wagon]

I think hemp might be a death sentence in my country, i'm not sure

I know of a guy who was in and out multiple times over a few years because of that family of plants

It's illegal here

[shy olive]

Can someone recommend me a different GPU that's cheaper and wouldnt cause too much of bottleneck? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/szVhFZ

[gusty wagon]

6800xt used?

[shy olive]

How much does it go for in cad

[gusty wagon]

Yall help i'm not familiar with canadian sites and canadian rubles

[jagged hazel]

why am4?

[dusty dew]

is a space heater though

officially, since anything that consumes past 500w is

[jagged hazel]

hm

thatd make my desk hot

i already have the warmest room in the house

[latent gull]

Aww, he gets me

[trim idol]

I hear that

My office is currently 30C due to GPUs

[latent gull]

Get a window unit

[jagged hazel]

whats that in eagle temp?

[dusky crest]

Ray tracing sucks on even the 5090 so i mean
Kinda pointless

[trim idol]

83F

[jagged hazel]

oh

[trim idol]

It's winter, a window also works

[rare musk]

id pay 5$

[jagged hazel]

so you agree with 7800 XT?

[latent gull]

I mean, in winter yeah, but that won’t last forever

[neat flame]

yea

[trim idol]

you sure?

[jagged hazel]

how about tree fiddy

[dusky crest]

If you are smart, you could squeeze in a 7800 xt

[rare musk]

nah 5 is more worth it

[jagged hazel]

ill overmine you at 6$

[latent gull]

I mean I guess it depends on where you live but if it’s that effective then it wouldn’t be 30 :(

[trim idol]

I'm being silly, I'm saying that as a 47 year old human, I'm already aware that winter ends

[jagged hazel]

47?

[trim idol]

Yes

[dusky crest]

Mine has 0.35€ lmao, not fully empty but pretty much

[latent gull]

Idk where you live, you could be in Greenland or something

[dusky crest]

Yis
But you said 6800xt in that message

[trim idol]

ah, then perhaps you shouldn't have said that winter won't last forever

😉

[rigid fjord]

so definitely avoid the purple one for sure then

[pulsar horizon]

I have a feeling that ASUS board just doesn’t like MSI cards

[trim idol]

Either way, my office is in a sun room, the windows in here don't support a window unit. Once the sun crosses over the house it'll cool of

[latent gull]

Imma idle my car just to melt the arctic faster to make your room hot

[dusty dew]

@rigid fjord confirmed, its 1650 mobile levels

[strange atlas]

its turkey doesnt fit in a budget but if you have recommendations yes please

[rigid fjord]

a little better than that tbh dude

[pulsar horizon]

“No graphics card detected” after reinstalling the card lmaoo

[strange atlas]

For 1000 dollars it gotta be AM5 and rx 7700 xt or 7800 xt what would you all recommend

[dusty dew]

yeep, my 6815 is first unoptimized run

[dusky crest]

Yeah, different countries have different pricing and it sucks tbh

[dusty dew]

and 1650 mobile is 6900

[neat flame]

wait for 9070 announcement in feb end

[rigid fjord]

i can't wait to fully see the 8060s's results tbh, but i wanna see a desktop version of the strix halo cpu as it is, it would be the best nas cpu to use at this point

let alone handheld gaiming setups

[dusty dew]

ah yeees, if 8060 gets close to a recent gen dGPU its a gg

[neat flame]

it has 40 cus

doesnt seem impossible

[rigid fjord]

rx7600/rx6700 performance

[rigid fjord]

@neat flame

[dusty dew]

yeep, will make people select iGPU more, given that some peeps are power conscious

[jagged hazel]

hi

[neat flame]

really good

[dusty dew]

like me, I am very conscious of power usage

[neat flame]

i wanna see what minisforum does with it

[jagged hazel]

are we still?

[dusty dew]

prolly something with thunderbolt so that LMG will slap a 5090 in it

[rigid fjord]

yup, really really good, the rumours suggested 6700xt level performance, but even hitting 6700 performance alone is an insane increase igpu wise

[neat flame]

yea

[true stirrup]

Me with my GPU at 140% power limit

[rigid fjord]

have you not seen the b750i/b795i?

7945hx with a full x16 pcie slot @dusty dew

[dusky crest]

Aren't they kinda mid? Like that benchmark was fake iirc

[solar violet]

wtf

i found 4080 super pc for almost same price
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/CYBERPOWERPC-Luxe-Gaming-PC-i9-12900KF/dp/B01J4713L4?s=computers&sr=1-1

[neat flame]

idk

seems like rumors

[solar violet]

this looks like decent deal

better than buying 4060 ti pc for same price

[neat flame]

much better

[true stirrup]

Meh

[jagged hazel]

sobbing

[glad fog]

Wow what a surprise that 5070 ti costs a 1000 even in the us

Not really

[stoic nova]

Shit

[dusky crest]

Oh no, that company...

[rigid fjord]

https://www.minisforum.uk/products/minisforum-bd770
https://www.minisforum.uk/products/minisforum-bd795m

no thunderbolt needed

[glad fog]

you pulled it out with the cpu?

[dusky crest]

Wiggle it

[true stirrup]

Hair dryer + twisting

Or a knife

[glad fog]

Use a hair dryer

[stoic nova]

I'm good now lol

It's just funny

[glad fog]

I had a fear of that too

[kindred halo]

How about instead of Factory OC we get Factory UC

[glad fog]

But i just turn up a benchmark and no issues with that

[dusky crest]

Is it even out yet? Also rx 7900 xtx same price for much more

[true stirrup]

Anything other than the base model is already pointless

[solar violet]

4080 super is beast gpu right

[kindred halo]

Make you second guess if your Cuda cores got a bite taken out of them

[solar violet]

i havent looked into amd options

[glad fog]

Out in 7 days

[dusky crest]

Ah

[kindred halo]

Factory quality assurance employee got hungry

[glad fog]

In the US i hear 7900 xtx is not easily found cause theyve been selling out

[dusty dew]

This is probably the new moores law

[glad fog]

Different for Europe though

[jagged hazel]

8000 series anyone?

[glad fog]

At any rate this I thought was funny because people say 9070 XT is DOA at 699

Yet the 5070 ti is 300 more at that price

[true stirrup]

Depends on scalping

If it gets scalped hard it's over

[jagged hazel]

it prolly will

[neat flame]

scalping amd cards?

[jagged hazel]

those gremlins

[neat flame]

idk sounds odd

[true stirrup]

$10 on it being scalped

[peak knot]

Peak of idiocy

[true stirrup]

Is it actually painted...?

[peak knot]

Yes

[lethal bay]

I’ve considered selling mine but after seeing the lack of stock on new cards, no thanks

[peak knot]

It’s supposed to be white

[lethal bay]

I could probably sell mine for profit tho lmao

[trim flicker]

is that like a smoke alarm or

[arctic heath]

I have a number in mind, but if you were to add an SSD pool to a NAS, how big would you make it

[rigid fjord]

almost dude, ever read through the darwin awards website?

[rigid fjord]

smoke detector

[neat flame]

probably if its insanely good

[trim flicker]

yeh

[peak knot]

It is a smoke detector

[neat flame]

but its amd afterall

[peak knot]

They painted inside it to where the smoke sensor is

[hoary tree]

Cheapest (triple fan) 4070 vs cheapest 5070

[neat flame]

5070?

[chilly orbit]

This is peak

[hoary tree]

yes

[neat flame]

when did that get released

[hoary tree]

the cheapest 5070 costs more than the 2nd most expensive 4070 ti super

[neat flame]

crazy

its most likely worse

also 4070ti super has 16gb?

[hoary tree]

yes

[glad fog]

It was meant to come out in January

If it gets scalped it is only AMD's fault and no one's else.

[true stirrup]

Yeah but it had absurd pricing

[glad fog]

5070 is not better than the 4070 Ti Super

It is hardly better than the 4070 Super

[hoary tree]

(thats equivalent to $1,189)

[glad fog]

5070 at 1190 usd, i'd rather throw the money in a ditch

[hoary tree]

yup

[glad fog]

but nvidia tends to be overpriced. so it's not a surprise

40 series makes sense because they stopped production some time ago

but 50 they have no excuse for

[hoary tree]

The cheapest 5090 is $3526

[glad fog]

it's pretty crazy

[hoary tree]

Cheapest 5080

$1763

[glad fog]

5070 Ti literally costs what the 5080 should.

[hoary tree]

5070* not 5070 ti

[boreal vine]

got the new keycaps, hell yeah

[glad fog]

yeah but im talking about the actual 5070 ti

the prices for the 5070 ti even in the US are over a thousand more or less

[hoary tree]

Cheapest 5070 ti $1539

[glad fog]

and in europe they are up to 1200euros

[true stirrup]

Here the cheapest one is 3300€ and they are sold out...

[glad fog]

it's just interesting

and then they also try to tell you that raster improvements are dead.

[true stirrup]

This is 2.5 months of average pay

[hoary tree]

That's nearly 4090 pricing (in the US) for a 60 ti/super class gpu in terms of hardware

theyre gonna ban deepseek watch

[brave brook]

it's because they want to 'buy it'

anyone surprised ? 😄

note the quotes. They will force ByteDance to sell it for cheap, that or being banned. The 'unbanning' is really just a temporary delay while negotiations take place

No; Its what doctors use to measure u

Then your average in ur country, idk how u get shit on

[latent gull]

Making over generalized statements about a country and how they enforce their laws is political IMO

[true stirrup]

Because average is short for the standards right now here

by that definition me just being present in this discord is political

Yeah, no clue abt europe countries but i heard your height is about the benchmark for germany. In the US no one really cares unless your way below average

[gloomy sleet]

im 208cm i can wear shit perfectly fine

[chilly willow]

Shit on as in insulted not wearing clothes

[true stirrup]

Proof or lie

[gloomy sleet]

main annoyance is that clothing companies think tall people are also really fat

[left dove]

😂

[gloomy sleet]

tf you mean proof

[high elm]

💀 at least youre tall

[random gyro]

I didn’t even get a code @true stirrup

💔💔💔

[true stirrup]

Yeah they were pretty limited

[gloomy sleet]

mines £600 and im planning on using this 4060 for the next 10 years

[random gyro]

Nightreign gonna have in game purchases 💔

[chilly willow]

lol yea ive been using my $500 pc that i built since 2019

i think its time for a upgrade

[gloomy sleet]

fair

i just dont play intense games

[limber nacelle]

too much, $500

[gloomy sleet]

i dont play a single game made after 2018

[spiral dust]

Guys would you keep b580 sealed 415$Cad taxes included and use it or sell now for a bit more and keep waiting with my 1650 super. Amd cards will be announced february 28th. Let's say I get my 9070 or 9070xT end of march or begining of april if I'm lucky to get one.. I'm scared I won't find a good gpu at a good price. The 9070 or 5070 in $cad will probably be 800$ + with taxes if not closer to 1000$. Would that really be worth double price of b580?

[limber nacelle]

id rather get a 3080 which goes for under that

[torn isle]

my gaming laptop from 2019 is still holding up lol
runs cyberpunk at least

B580 is a bit better than a 4060

[true stirrup]

That sign means it will get a DLC

[patent plank]

[random gyro]

I hope it’s good cause I’m def preordering

[rare musk]

not enough to bear intel's drivers 😂

[spiral dust]

I play at 1440p and wanted a bit more frames to be safe for the future. I tested one that I already returned and it did rum dayzgone at 90 to 120fps native 1440p, runs helldivers 2 well. Those are the games I plan on playing the most in the short term with rocketleague my main game

[clear canyon]

Intel really improved their drivers

[rare musk]

not enough

[true stirrup]

The network test today looked great in my opinion. It looks fun
I will preorder it for my birthday so I can justify spending 40€ on a game lol

[random gyro]

40 isnt bad at all

[spiral dust]

Yes more vram and I've heard it has good OC potential. I just don't know about intel aftermarket value. I feel I would have a hard time selling it at 400$cad after couple months of use. In ideal world I want a 4070 ti super kinda performance but I'M not willing to put 1000$+ on a gpu. I could go to maybe it's really good value and price to performance cars to 1000$cad taxes included

[true stirrup]

Yeah it's 1/3 cheaper than other fromsoftware games

[clear canyon]

A 4070ti super is 1k? Wth? That's stupid

[spiral dust]

They did but for new games they might always be integrated last. But in my case I don't buy games when they release at fkcing 70 or 90$

[strange atlas]

ohno customer wants a case more expensive than the processor

corsair 6500x

[trim flicker]

i have this case

[strange atlas]

you have a nice taste sir

[azure topaz]

why is their processor less than 165$

[rigid fjord]

sis*

miss*

she not he

[strange atlas]

oh sorry misster

[spiral dust]

Yessir. Brand new it's more. I was on sale at 1000$ during blackfriday but very limited Supply at canada computers. And here in quebec we have 15% taxes so I would have paid 1150$ cad for that. It didn't seem like a good deal at all. I looked at the used market. I saw one at 900$ but the guy wanted me to buy it without testing it , and return it if it has an issue lol

[strange atlas]

I'm not good at gender things

Sorry for mistaking

[narrow fractal]

Anyone know what kind of thermal interface this is?

[trim flicker]

this is like throwing a snowball at someone and it landing in ur face, how do you miss someone with their pronouns in their username

[rigid fjord]

if you're going to gender someone, be smart and do it correctly

[azure topaz]

looks like the shittiest of aluminum tape or something glued dowwn

[thin plover]

lol

[spiral dust]

I have a 7700X and I feel like a b580 is not beefy enough for this cpu

[narrow fractal]

It does but it’s from an OEM system in the 2000’s

[azure topaz]

would explain the aluminum tape

[latent gull]

So it probably is just aluminum tape

[narrow fractal]

2002 to be exact

[strange atlas]

Sir is like lord for me it didnt contain gender for me but not sure about the true meaning its like saying maam

[azure topaz]

so its probably aluminum tape lol

[strange atlas]

sorryy

[narrow fractal]

Pentium 4 cooled with aluminum tape lmao

[latent gull]

Lord is also gendered

[azure topaz]

not like it didnt exist back in 2002, more like real thermal interface materials didnt exist in 2002 lol

[rigid fjord]

it's called, someone fucked up installing it

[azure topaz]

i mean who had thermal grease lying around

a lot less common of an item to own

[narrow fractal]

An OEM?

[covert rain]

Would you say I should upgrade my CPU first rather than the GPU?
I've currently an i7 11700F with 3060 RTX 12GB and a B560M-A Pro MSI Motherboard

[trim flicker]

vaseline unironically works

[rigid fjord]

maketh me

[latent gull]

Who keeps Vaseline laying around

[azure topaz]

actually true

but ive never done that

[broken saffron]

literally everyone

[patent plank]

are there any nvidia cards that would be worth it?

[azure topaz]

i bought a 40g thing of hy510 and i just rely on it for my "generic thermal paste" requirements

i dont use the good shit on anything old

[spiral dust]

By the way I orderer a cpu cooler that had a Damage sticker on it. But the sticker wasn't placed well, it was at the edge of the box half crooked. I still installed it. It seem fine but there was some traces of use on it. It's a phantom spirit 120 at 60$cad. Would you accept a 10$ discount if it's working fine or should i not take a chance and just return it or ask for a replacement unit that's brand new

[latent gull]

Your just wrong

[spring latch]

guys GIGABYTE B550M AORUS ELITE or ASRock B550M Pro4 ?

[azure topaz]

aorus elite

[hot flower]

For what budget

[azure topaz]

depends on price tho

[broken saffron]

man its gotta be somewhere in your house just look lol theres probably a 5 year old box laying around

[rigid fjord]

not had a girlfriend yet?

[hot flower]

“Worth it” is very subjective

[latent gull]

…a box?

[rigid fjord]

the asrock

[spiral dust]

@clear canyon i dmed you

[broken saffron]

idk whatever those containers are

[latent gull]

I have, long time ago

[patent plank]

fair enough... idk yet, 3k I g... I will wait with upgrade till things calm down anyway so like a summer, just wondering how is the current situation shaping

[azure topaz]

the pro4 asrock doesnt have a built in io shield or anything

[trim flicker]

i go through vaseline like hell

[random gyro]

anyone got roblox game recommendation

[rigid fjord]

there will be some in the make up bag

[late pelican]

just curious. the larger the nvme. lets say... 4tb or 8tb. does the nvme get slower the more space it has ?

[azure topaz]

no

opposite if you wanna get into it

[latent gull]

But that doesn’t mean I have any laying around

guys wtf is a g sync

[azure topaz]

variable refresh rate go to google

[patent plank]

I will have to upgrade my whole system anyway, so ima just start saving up and gota wait anyway 😄 but like damn nvidia seems to be doing lot of bollocks atm

[trim flicker]

or any of these

[rigid fjord]

no but you end up from easily obtained tlc nand drives to suddenly tons of qlc nand drives

best game ive ever touched on roblox

[trim flicker]

real

[rigid fjord]

the closest i have to this is copper grease, which you have to treat like using LM

[hot flower]

If you got 3k on a system I’ll think you’ll be just fine. Technology is ever evolving so you just gotta research what does what and go from there. What’s the best now probably won’t be the best in 6 months. Don’t strive for the best unless absolutely necessary (which begs the question of what is classified as necessary)

[patent plank]

I want to play games on the computer, full hd or 2k max anyway... idk yet how much I will be willing to spend on it, with the way gaming industry is heading as whole I might just buy apple product and stop gaming altogether lol

[trim flicker]

do u remember blox hunt

[random gyro]

just spend 1.5k on a pure performance system

[random gyro]

yes it was so fire

[trim flicker]

i spent 12k hours on that game

[random gyro]

my first roblox game was hat warfare tycoon i miss it fr

[random gyro]

god damn

[hot flower]

The new Intel B580 is really good for the price. I spent 700 on mine and anticipate 2k gaming to be quite feasible for most games

[rigid fjord]
