[strange atlas]

no way

[trim flicker]

yyes

[strange atlas]

no trying to imply anything but are you even living

[trim flicker]

no i died like 7 years ago in a car accident

[gusty wagon]

Let me feed you gnrh agonists

[gleaming rose]

we need to make ion tall

[strange atlas]

[trim flicker]

real

[strange atlas]

Is it bad if minor scratches happen on graphics card die

[charred sundial]

I'm still not quite sure, could you tell me where to find it, or if I send you the link to my PSU? I haven't built the thing yet and well yk

[gleaming rose]

@trim flicker cant use hw raid unless i get another sas drive

thats fucked up

for now ill use openbsds software raid

[strange atlas]

aight then cause i dont want to buy alchocol to clean the gpu thermal paste

then i know

[gleaming rose]

or maybe freebsd

[strange atlas]

i will havve to repaste my cpu anyways thats why i can can repaste the gpu as well

cause 90 or more celcius on ryzen 5 5600 isnt okay with stock cooler

How its stock thermal paste of amd wraith stock cooler

what the hell is that :d

Non poop solid paper like thermal paste

pre applied to cooler

[forest lotus]

Speed I am forced to go to not get a ticket. Vs what I actually wanna do is a big difference

[strange atlas]

these ones and yeah

[forest lotus]

I'd be dead if I got pulled over doing the speeds I wanna do lmao

[strange atlas]

yeah right

yeah

i bought it new with my r5 5600

[gusty wagon]

Oh, i recommend you build your system first, then look at your psu cables (manual or website) and start from there

[charred sundial]

Okay!! ^^ thanks!

[strange atlas]

until i buy a paste probably wont take it off i dont want to make it worst for now

Yes

i evenly tightened every place of it

you cant go max on that cooler

it stops going in

[gusty wagon]

The AMD ones do that

[amber fog]

Hello, my pc keeps randomly restarting, used to be a bluemoon thing. Now its like almost everytime i get on, especially on heavier games like rust. Would appreciate any advice, thank u

[gusty wagon]

No, it protects it from user intervention

[strange atlas]

In amd wraith stock cooler there is a limit that if you pass it it still turns on but doesnt actually squueze it

[trim flicker]

psu issue

[strange atlas]

this one

[trim flicker]

or thermal issue

[strange atlas]

probably heat

[gusty wagon]

Open a ticket in #1027757333117415424

there are too many factors

[indigo basin]

oops

[gusty wagon]

off the top of my head, there's about 6 factors that can cause crashing

[indigo basin]

~1266 notifs also got there

[amber fog]

yeah i got a pretty shitty cpu cooler, its a thermal assaian 120

yeah i dont know man

my shi be gettin kinda hot

[indigo basin]

cant cool down yo mama 🗣️ 🔥

[gusty wagon]

7th being the candy paint on his brand new hearse

[amber fog]

thats why i got it though, heard it was damn near impossible to over heat a cpu on it

[indigo basin]

you got thermal paste, removed the weird sticky pad on the underside of it?

[amber fog]

yes lol

[strange atlas]

man wtf are you talkingg about :d

[gusty wagon]

Well here we go for the hundredth time

[strange atlas]

did you put a paste on the cpu

sorry for asking but seemed like it :d

[left dove]

Hand grenade pins in every line

[amber fog]

yeah i put paste on there

[indigo basin]

white what temperatures is it actually hitting

[amber fog]

when i get on rust it hits to about high 70ish

[indigo basin]

thats fine

[harsh whale]

RTX 3060 or RTX 4060?

[strange atlas]

thats aight

[indigo basin]

70c isnt really concerning for the cpu

[strange atlas]

what about your gpu

[strange atlas]

mine works at 90 celcius so no big deal i have r5 5600

[amber fog]

hmmmm i would really hate for it to be a psu issue, thatd be such a hoe lmao

nah gpu even cooler then that so ion think its that

[indigo basin]

the psu in my server cost more than all the other parts lol

[amber fog]

only issues i got w my gpu is the gpu whine unfortunally

[dire badge]

Hello, any ideas what this noise is? It’s when I am using games and I think it’s the reason I am getting microstutters

[indigo basin]

i said all computer hardware originally

😭

[dire badge]

It’s quite hard to hear with the case fans

[amber fog]

i got a thermaltake 850w, kinda suprised it might be the reason my pc is restarting by itseld

[empty quartz]

Normal sized phone

[indigo basin]

case bigger than the damn phone

[left dove]

thats.. the point? lol

[indigo basin]

my nothing phone 2 likes to play slip n slide on any surface i place it on

[gusty wagon]

Now in my remains

[indigo basin]

i mean a 70c fan is a smidge concerning

[left dove]

Set the silence free to wash away the worst of meee

[indigo basin]

finally, no more 1266 notifications from a single loop

[fallow yacht]

hallo peyton

[trim flicker]

hi bestie i have a headache

[left dove]

hello friends

[oblique terrace]

I'm about to burn a bootable DVD in 2025

[strange atlas]

man on idle how is this possible yo

[lapis condor]

Not idle

[charred sundial]

Should i get an AIO or a normal fan cooler for my CPU

[strange atlas]

one monitor and only watching a video so it counts idle no?

[gusty wagon]

Like an army, falling

[lapis condor]

That's not idle
You have discord open, you have a video playing

Idle is nothing running

Your puter is running fine, enjoy it

[fallow yacht]

as idle as light

[strange atlas]

aight than while only discord and a video running its at 62 celcius

[indigo basin]

this is me with most the software i normally use running

no games running

[charred sundial]

??

[junior valve]

102 is normal operating temp for me

[strange atlas]

aight mb

[indigo basin]

core 3 is having a fun time

[strange atlas]

it shows lots of core usage though are you sure :d

[left dove]

It's so unreal, don't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window

[drowsy flame]

My girlfriend woke me up while I was trying to get sleep (I work 3rd shift), because the Wi-Fi speeds are bad

She’s convinced it’s caused by a Wi-Fi range extender I put in recently but she’s not even connected to the range extended network.

I told her it’s probably the isp or possibly weather related because we’ve been getting a lot of snow.

Any thoughts?

[indigo basin]

i have discord, my browser, one of my python scripts, spotify and visual studio code open

and a few things in task tray...

[latent pasture]

this is why we tell people to reinstall windows

[indigo basin]

i know what all the shit is, im just too lazy to do any optimisation

[willow coral]

opera gx keeps telling me "interrupted disk full" how do i fix it

whenever i try to download a file from the browser

[azure topaz]

gonna sound crazy but free up some space on your drive 🔥

[indigo basin]

haw haw

free space!?!?

[willow coral]

the drive has 900gb of storage free? or where you not talking to me mb

[mortal fossil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fYd7sp

[azure topaz]

are you downloading to the right space in opera? does it ask you where it wants to save the file

[mortal fossil]

mobo is asus prime b660m-a d4

[drowsy flame]

Where’s the graphics card

[mortal fossil]

which i alr have

[gusty wagon]

Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

[mortal fossil]

down in the list

[latent pasture]

cooler comes wiht free paste

case is also already full of fans why buy more

[mortal fossil]

wouldnt suggest using it tho

[azure topaz]

this is true minshel thank you

[mortal fossil]

cheap cases with fans have even worse fans

theres 3 packs of fans on amazon for like

[fallow moss]

whats a good wireless mouse

[mortal fossil]

13$

[mortal fossil]

why wireless?

[fallow moss]

i hate wires

[azure topaz]

lgg la-1 with the flex issue if youre in the states

https://www.lethal.gg/products/la-1-wireless-gaming-mouse?srsltid=AfmBOooZqotR1feqWoW87kbnFG5H3WVqOjRGkjmzUpptX6zw3dIABq0W

[mortal fossil]

get a rechargable one

[azure topaz]

can also get a 4khz rec for 5$ off the same site

[mortal fossil]

i like wired ones bc they cheaper

[fallow moss]

i have a lil amazon wireless but to small for hands

[fallow moss]

but have a nasty wire

[mortal fossil]

but my g602 isnt dead yet

[left dove]

I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

[mortal fossil]

the dpi light is always on and green

[latent pasture]

1. dozens of benchmarks have the free tp working well
2. then buy an even cheaper case with no fans
   ur wasting a lot of money that could go to better specs instead lol

[mortal fossil]

but she still works

[latent pasture]

the cheaper ur parts are the more worth every single dollar saved is that could contribute to making something better

[mortal fossil]

i mean yea the fans work as fans

[indigo basin]

aw damn it

[gusty wagon]

I'm holding up a light, chasing out the darkness inside

[left dove]

I don't think I know this one

[dire badge]

When I load into a game on my pc this noise is made, and the game keeps microstuttering any ideas?

[gusty wagon]

It's alright. Nobody can save you now.

[left dove]

$5 that's a lyric from the same song

[strange atlas]

god damn this is what i work with

[gusty wagon]

Ah, it was Chester's last album

[left dove]

Ohh

[pallid surge]

i want to sell my rx 5500 eom hp 4gb

what price is reasonable

[trim flicker]

100usd max

[mortal fossil]

dawg close avast

[pallid surge]

a store is offering me £48

do i take it or sell it on my own

[trim flicker]

cex?

[pallid surge]

yep

[trim flicker]

thought so

is that cash or voucher

[left dove]

lmao someone still runs avast?

[pallid surge]

thats voucher

[latent pasture]

its in the rx 580/1060 tier of perf, nobody tech literate is gonna buy it for that

[trim flicker]

yikes

[mortal fossil]

hermivore

[pallid surge]

cash is 40

[left dove]

[pallid surge]

i was lowkey gonna take that and then get an rx6600 from them for 160

[winter island]

Can someone help me with a 600 dollar budget PC without case and SSD I already have that, that can support some triple A games at some decent fps

[trim flicker]

youd probably be better off with the cash, theres 0 market for 5500

[mortal fossil]

what cpu?

[pallid surge]

3600

[trim flicker]

ah, then voucher

[mortal fossil]

thats a really solid pairup

[trim flicker]

if ur buying from cex then just get the voucher

[pallid surge]

but i have a 400w power supply 😭 so its either that or get the 4060

[winter island]

Ping me or dm me for the build pls

[mortal fossil]

get the rx6600 and a 700w psu

[latent pasture]

unless ur 400w is the worst on earth its fine

[mortal fossil]

400w is fine but outdated

[pallid surge]

maybe later, its a prebuilt and if I do get a psu then I will have to get a brand new motherboard and case

[rose stream]

Yeah, should be fine.

[latent pasture]

rx 6600 uses like 120w at the absolute torture max and mostly 90-100 in games

[mortal fossil]

you wont need a new mobo and case

[pallid surge]

its this one

[trim flicker]

oof

sucked into the hp oem pipeline

[mortal fossil]

it requires at least 500w

[trim flicker]

youd need a new board possibly

[pallid surge]

i bought this hp back in 2020 for £400

[mortal fossil]

my bones

[pallid surge]

tbf I would rather just get a new pc later

but i feel like i dont wanna make that commitment cause i probably wont play games much

[jaunty cairn]

My Friend just texted me, he said "Yo, i have a Ryzen 9 7900X3D and a GTX 1060 TI, what should i upgrade next?"

[pallid surge]

tell him the ram

[trim flicker]

"your jokes"

they need to upgrade their jokes

[pallid surge]

😭

[jaunty cairn]

I've been to his house, its true

[latent pasture]

says who lol? the manufacturers who vastly overestimate psu requirements so they can run away from rma requests?

[trim flicker]

they need to upgrade their brain

[jaunty cairn]

fr

[pallid surge]

did he build that together or upgrade the cpu

[jaunty cairn]

all together

he made a PC Partpicker list and spent the budget on the CPU

[trim flicker]

cpu that costs ike 5x the price of the gpu

[jaunty cairn]

He said it was for a $1K USD Budget

[latent pasture]

manufactuere: you need 600 watt psu to run the gpu
the gpu:

[mortal fossil]

nvidia

err fuck not nvidia

amd

[primal void]

😳 engineering sample

[mortal fossil]

i saw the word nvidia and typed it

[gusty wagon]

But nanosecond-long transients would be 300w, and a 13900 would be 200w, and the fans would be 30w

[mortal fossil]

this is just overkill for anything

like sure you wont need to upgrade for 17 years

[gusty wagon]

Nice. Would be able to run an esxi or proxmox instance for a small sme

[quasi path]

the pc case obviously

[jaunty cairn]

He has a Lian Li A3 Wood Edition

[latent pasture]

amd says no

[quasi path]

why does bro have everything but a gpu to match it?😭

confiscate his pc

[jaunty cairn]

he said he wants to upgrade the GPU to a 2070

...

[trim flicker]

6800xt

[quasi path]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/252850792313257986/1333151252569129091/image0.gif

[jaunty cairn]

i would suggets a 3080, i got mine for $500 on Newegg

[quasi path]

make him get a 5090

[hoary agate]

custom one handed keyboard (I’m cooked)

[jaunty cairn]

He keeps saying "I KNOW HOW TO BUILD A PC!!!"

" I DONT NEED UR HELP"

he doesnt need my help

[quasi path]

then let him be a fool

[trim flicker]

he needs mental help

[jaunty cairn]

he needs medical help when im done with him

[quasi path]

some ppl gotta learn on there own 😭

[gusty wagon]

My 5800X3D and 6800XT would handily beat your friend's setup in most games

[jaunty cairn]

Fr

[gusty wagon]

The difference would be factors, not percentages

[quasi path]

i have a mate who has a pc with no fans, i offered em 5 crisp corsair fans and they said “no ill just open my window”

[jaunty cairn]

We played fortnite yesterday, and he said he needed to upgrade his CPU

[latent pasture]

correct

[fallow yacht]

inb4 m.2 on sata

[jaunty cairn]

Saying its not fast enough

[trim flicker]

how can someone be so confidently incorrect

[quasi path]

yeah he needs a threadripper

minimum requirements for the game

[mortal fossil]

i was 50w off

[jaunty cairn]

His setup is: CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D, GPU: GTX 1060TI, RAM: 8Gb DDR5, HDD: 2Tb HDD, MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F, Case: Lian Li A3

[mortal fossil]

thats

[mortal fossil]

hol up im gonna put this in a bottle neck calc

[latent pasture]

you said 600w
600-450 is now 50?

[gusty wagon]

Hehe, if he upgrades to a 3080 it would be a 3x - 4x fps

[mortal fossil]

reread

[jaunty cairn]

100%

[trim flicker]

no ssd?

[jaunty cairn]

Nope

he said SSD's Overheat to much

[trim flicker]

how old is this person

[gusty wagon]

Is his ram 1x8 or 2x4?

[jaunty cairn]

2x4

[jaunty cairn]

25

[trim flicker]

yikes

[gusty wagon]

Show him the 2h long video of how a build a pc

[jaunty cairn]

i did

[mortal fossil]

the mobo has a heatsink 😭

[trim flicker]

this is a lost cause

[jaunty cairn]

he said he only trusts Reddit and not Youtube

[gusty wagon]

If a few million people prove him wrong, he's probably wrong

lmao reddit will tell him to follow the video

Leave your friend be

Can't help anyone who doesn't want to help themselves

[jaunty cairn]

Should i take his GPU?

[gusty wagon]

For a display output?

[trim flicker]

take his everything, this person shouldnt be allowed to spend money

[gusty wagon]

Sure

[jaunty cairn]

1440p

[trim flicker]

PLEASE NO

[jaunty cairn]

Somehow

[trim flicker]

im already having enough pain from this

bottleneck calculators are about as smart as this guys friend

[jaunty cairn]

he uses a 720 to 2K Adapter

[gusty wagon]

I've never heard of this

[jaunty cairn]

he found it on Ali Express

[trim flicker]

i understand why people in IT take up drinking very fast

[gusty wagon]

I have two favours

[mortal fossil]

ik bottleneck calculators are ass

[gusty wagon]

1. Stop talking about this friend

[mortal fossil]

but i had to use it for that setup

[gusty wagon]

2. Let go

[jaunty cairn]

ok

[mortal fossil]

its strange how like

all calculators are just ass for pcs

[trim flicker]

mhm

[mortal fossil]

like why the fuck do you lie about the performance

[trim flicker]

people like to spread misinformation

[latent pasture]

me when i say u need 500w to power 130w

[limber nacelle]

wouldn't really recommend buying ES cpus

QS is mildly more acceptable

[mortal fossil]

im not saying you cant

but im saying you shouldnt

[latent pasture]

meanwhile TOTAL SYSTEM power consumption on 1440p ultra

[teal sinew]

3070ti is such a pig

nvidia had no business giving that card power chugging g6x memory

[limber nacelle]

feel like all of the 70ti class cards are

5070ti to a lesser extent but idk, they're all just.... kinda bad value?

[teal sinew]

5070Ti/5080 are the two most efficient gamer cards afaik

[thorn pewter]

at that point get a 5080

[teal sinew]

GB203 is really efficient

[limber nacelle]

well at least the 5070ti isn't hamstringed by 12gb of vram

😔

or 8 for that matter

[thorn pewter]

the 5070 is what 8 gigs or 12?

[limber nacelle]

12

[odd marsh]

Hamstringed by 300w power

[thorn pewter]

yeah thought so

[limber nacelle]

300w is pretty tolerable

[steel umbra]

me when people buy “500w” psus that are group regulated and actually just <350w on the 12v

[limber nacelle]

i wonder what the power consumption characteristics are going to be like for the 5070ti

[trim flicker]

i started getting pegged in vram when i switched to 4k on my 6700xt or playing something very intensive

[teal sinew]

?

[thorn pewter]

roblox

[fallow yacht]

and are socially dead

[latent pasture]

reviews r out like yesterday

[odd marsh]

It seems like the card has some more OC headroom but power limits stops it

[steel umbra]

a 5080 minus some watts

[limber nacelle]

if it's going to have high transients n shi

[latent pasture]

yeah and the gpu is an rx 6600

[limber nacelle]

i haven't been keeping up too much with blackwell

[teal sinew]

o i doubt it

[limber nacelle]

yeah probably not

[teal sinew]

gb203 is stupidly efficient

for a 5nm product

[limber nacelle]

i mean, ada v2

[steel umbra]

it doesn’t

[limber nacelle]

i loved my 4070ti

[odd marsh]

5070 Ti is just 5080 minus 3000 some cores and less power

[steel umbra]

rtx 30 / rx 6000 were unique at transients

[limber nacelle]

4070ti super super should be the same but better

[limber nacelle]

wellll i've only seen the characteristics of the 5090 (this gen) and uh

i guess that's the exception

[teal sinew]

5070Ti at 300W gives you roughly the same performance that a 4080 would at 350W

[livid mason]

Finally get to play with my new server

[steel umbra]

the 5090 does have a bit of transients but well, the psu requires bigg psu anyways, not as bad as 30 series

[odd marsh]

Card has decent OC potential if not for the 300w limit right

[latent pasture]

msi ventus

[teal sinew]

it's not limiting it as much as youd think

[thorn pewter]

even less at 1792 cuda difference only

[limber nacelle]

curious to see how much it pulls in cinebench 2024

[teal sinew]

300W is quite a lot for a 380mm die that has quite a few cores disabled

[limber nacelle]

i recall my 4070ti drawing like, > 200w

[odd marsh]

I saw the bench earlier with a +10%

[limber nacelle]

shit was great

[teal sinew]

yeah it could go higher

but youd be going from like 300W to 370W just to go from 3150 to 3300MHz

[odd marsh]

Yuh

I really like 5080 this gen

[limber nacelle]

how much would you save to go to 3000mhz

[teal sinew]

5080 is an amazing card i wish it was a lower price

it's stupidly efficient

and a 5090 is pretty much wasted in games if you dont play at 2160p

5080 for $800 pre-tax wouldve been killer

[south arrow]

Woulda been nice :/

[steel umbra]

they can get away with 1500 now

[teal sinew]

yeah they sell out instantly at $1600 xd

thats why i said fuck it and bought an $880 5070Ti when i had the chance

if the cards were available at MSRP then id pick the 5080 no question, but im not paying $1600 for one

[steel umbra]

rtx 6090 price prediction - $6969

[odd marsh]

Would have been nuts, and honestly for a 380mm die feel think it should have been doable

[south arrow]

That and selling locally for msrp should be pretty easy should the right 5090 come your way

[teal sinew]

oh it's absolutely doable

they still have health margins selling 5080 at $800

[odd marsh]

Just turn on MFG 4x and you’ll crush a 5080 dw

[teal sinew]

the power creep is amusing to me

2080Ti was a 750mm gpu and it ran at 250w out of box

now we have 380mm gpus with a bunch of cores disabled doing 300w out of box

[steel umbra]

i mean ga104 was like 390mm

rember 3060 ti

[split laurel]

When will newegg get more 5070ti I was so close but not close enough

[teal sinew]

we will find out soon

[steel umbra]

now we are getting a rebranded 5060 ti 5070 ti at $900+

[teal sinew]

ill definitely be playing around with underclocking

[formal sonnet]

Likely when their suppliers deliver another shipment.

[split laurel]

5070 ti with over clock is great

[limber nacelle]

i think it's definitely worth, efficiency tuning is very based

[teal sinew]

i dont think any reviewers have tested underclocking the card because most people are already mad at its stock performance

peak efficiency on the 9800x3d is 4700MHz but everyone runs it at 5425MHz

[limber nacelle]

i mean.... it's aight i guess

it's supposed to be a 4070ti super w/ gddr7 for $50 less

4070ti super was what, $800 msrp right?

i think the fact that the pricing is so far above msrp is what's making people mad, from what i can tell

[teal sinew]

yuh

[limber nacelle]

i've actualy always quite liked the 4070ti super, it was just a budget 4080 in my eyes

[teal sinew]

at $750 it's not exciting from a generational improvement standpoint but it's a fine card

4080 super -50w -$250 +dp2.1

[limber nacelle]

for sure yeah

tbh i don't get the point in being mad specifically about generational gains

[steel umbra]

which is not very good for a gen uplift anyways, $50 less and 10% more raster perf, nvidia cares more about software features ai now

[limber nacelle]

since it's priced a bit less than ada

[steel umbra]

and most of us will not be able to get them at $749

[limber nacelle]

like, if you're an Ada owner, you should be skipping blackwell anyways

[limber nacelle]

yes this is the main point to be mad about imo

the fact that it's supposed to be a price cut but it being actually way higher

[teal sinew]

the cheapest card that i saw stocked was the gigabyte eagle at $800 and i tried to buy it several times

[steel umbra]

probably even if ampere user if you’re just gaming and have 3060 ti+

[limber nacelle]

ehhhhh i think it's decent if you want an upgrade from ampere

though if you have a 3090 you're still chilling

[odd marsh]

Which card you buy?

[steel umbra]

and brokey 6900xt

[thorn pewter]

but any ada user should be fine till like 60 or maybe 70 series

[limber nacelle]

diabolical statement

[teal sinew]

im upgrading from a buggy 6900xt :p

[limber nacelle]

targetted fosho

[steel umbra]

i mean we’ll see what the 5070 and 5060 ti is

[teal sinew]

5070 is just 4070 super with lower power consumption and smaller die

[limber nacelle]

ehhhh i just want ampere prices to drop :<

i want another 3090 man

[thorn pewter]

the 5060 will have similar preformance of what

[gleaming rose]

Tuesday. Be there are be roboticed
-one of my friends sent to my headmaster

[limber nacelle]

the prices being up makes me so angry

[thorn pewter]

like a underpowered 4070?

[limber nacelle]

probably not

[teal sinew]

idk maybe 4060Ti

[steel umbra]

my 6900 xt is broken from adrenalin

[limber nacelle]

yeah

[teal sinew]

oh that's a feature

[granite sundial]

they cant be that much faster purely by the fact they have the same vram

[teal sinew]

adrenalin is always buggy

[granite sundial]

4060 was already severely vram limited

[limber nacelle]

no it wasn't lol

[steel umbra]

every time i launch adrenalin for the first time it gives me a negative 15% performance across all games until i do ddu

[limber nacelle]

it was limited by the bus width

[steel umbra]

:>

danke amd

[limber nacelle]

though, it would be nice to have a return to 12gb for 60 class cards

[teal sinew]

gddr7 is wicked fast so tiny busses dont really matter

[limber nacelle]

is the 5060 even getting that?

[thorn pewter]

prob

[teal sinew]

yah it's 128bit g7

[limber nacelle]

god i took an ibuprofin but my head still hurts

guess i gotta just sniff some fent

[granite sundial]

5070 ti is also launching at 950-1000+ usd lmfao

at msrp its vapourware

[limber nacelle]

oh wicked

[thorn pewter]

8 gigs is fine for 1080p

[steel umbra]

before launching amd adrenalin for the first time, after adrenalin and closing it

[granite sundial]

but will it be in 2 or 3 years?

[thorn pewter]

mmaybe yeah

[granite sundial]

16gb of vram is already reaching its limit at 4k

[teal sinew]

5060Ti is probably gonna be a seriously impressive little gpu but itll cost too much and be hamstrung by 8GB of vram

[steel umbra]

even after a restart

[teal sinew]

if it was cheaper and used 3GB chips to get 12GB total it would be cool

[granite sundial]

dont TIs always have more vram?

[thorn pewter]

send it to brazil

[granite sundial]

50 series arent bad gpus theyre just badly priced

barely faster than 40 series for way above msrp

[steel umbra]

it’s so bruh annoying… and thanks to amd i’m retesting tim on the most annoying to disassemble multiple times gpu

[granite sundial]

msrp is an actual joke especially for 5070 ti without any FE cards

[limber nacelle]

$750 msrp is fine though...?

like, it's not exceptional, but it's not awful

[teal sinew]

i think theyre saying that the msrp is fake

[granite sundial]

yeah and how many models are actually selling for that

[limber nacelle]

getting the card at $750 is another story

[steel umbra]

barely exists apparently

[teal sinew]

i didnt see a single $750 5070Ti stocked on any site today

[granite sundial]

msrp is a straight up lie

[limber nacelle]

yes this is definitely something to be mad about

[teal sinew]

nvidia is still stocking 5080FE and 5090FE at MSRP though surprisingly

[granite sundial]

the 'premium' version of cards is now the only version that exists

[teal sinew]

so FE 5070 might be an okay card

[granite sundial]

yeah but when are they actually gonna be in stock, april?

[limber nacelle]

i wonder how much they're fleecing AIBs lol

[trim flicker]

Meow

[teal sinew]

bestbuy stocks a few cards every week

still pitiful supply but yeah

[granite sundial]

apparently the margins are really thin for AIBs and thats why almost every model is OC premium shit

[teal sinew]

bestbuy stocked some FEs at 11:30AM EST today

i joined queue but didnt get one

[granite sundial]

and when did they sell out?

[drowsy flame]

Tech source is such a disappointment bro. He uploaded a 5070ti build video with a card he got sent for free even though he clearly knew nobody was gonna be able to get one. Why even make the video? His pinned comment reads so badly too.

[steel umbra]

the bots will continue to steal everything

[teal sinew]

yuh BB is botted hard as hell

[limber nacelle]

i mean it's always been

[livid mason]

Gonna test one more AI model without a GPU before hitting the hay

[granite sundial]

like is it one person hand assembling every single card

[limber nacelle]

i'm just curious if it's worse than previous gens

[teal sinew]

i think it would be better for consumers if AIBs didnt exist tbh

[livid mason]

Deepseek 14b on an intel I5-10400 and 16gb of RAM

[teal sinew]

adding another middle man just increases the cost for the consumer, and it's not like AIBs existing helps bring nvidia FE prices down

AIBs buy gpus from nvidia, nvidia always controls pricing regardless

[limber nacelle]

agreed tbh

the only nvidia aib that added value was EVGA imo

cause they were reknowned for their good customer service but now every other aib is well.... eh

unless you want to XOC, an aib card isn't going to do anything for you that an FE won't

[teal sinew]

AIBs quite literally are the scalpers in this 50 series launch

[steel umbra]

ftw3 3080s were actually reasonably priced higher end aib model

[teal sinew]

theyre the ones setting these high prices because they want margins

FEs are still respecting MSRP

[granite sundial]

the only reason AIBs exist is to protect nvidias profit margin

[limber nacelle]

i was gonna say, "well I guess they still need a slice of the pie to operate" but then I remembered msi stopped manufacturing radeon cards so like

[granite sundial]

making the actual gpu die has an extremely high margin, assembling it into a card is low margin

[limber nacelle]

they're kinda doing it to themselves

[granite sundial]

nvidia have an absurd profit margin

[limber nacelle]

haha we're well aware

[teal sinew]

it's not that absurd tbh

ryzen cpus have higher profit margins

[limber nacelle]

well yeah, because they're hotglued 💩

chad nvidia huge monolithic dies >>>

[steel umbra]

it’s kinda funny how cheap they’re in china at some places

[teal sinew]

lisa gives you one little 70mm CCD stitched to an IOD that's made with a cheap node with a dozen wires on a little pcb

i guarantee you 9800X3D profit margins are higher than nvidia cards

by a lot

[limber nacelle]

undoubtedly

[granite sundial]

yeah obviously

[steel umbra]

especially for retailers when some scalp it

[neat oxide]

y'all complain about prices yet continue to buy them, like bro which is it? prices too high or they affordable enough to buy

[limber nacelle]

how much do you think it costs to produce one gb202 btw?

[teal sinew]

obviously i wish gpus were cheaper because i dont enjoy spending money, but their margins arent absurd compared to other products

[steel umbra]

like $300-400?

[teal sinew]

it just stings because theyre expensive products to produce

[granite sundial]

yeah thats pretty accurate

[limber nacelle]

mmm

[granite sundial]

thats just production costs, not including marketing, shipping, packaging, turning it into a card, etc

but still profit margin is well over 50%

[teal sinew]

it's impossible to get an accurate number because we dont know the real defect rate, whether or not tsmc gives them discounts, or how many chips they save by allowing for X amount of defects etc

[steel umbra]

no more rtx 3080

[limber nacelle]

fair

[steel umbra]

and 1080 ti

[teal sinew]

but i think it's like almost $400 for a GB202

but then you have to consider everything else that goes into making a 5090FE

and handling and shipping

[granite sundial]

i dont think they would get the highest priority from TSMC apple would

[teal sinew]

yeah apple is definitely tsmc's favorite customer

apple revenue dwarfs nvidia, and they pay up for newer nodes before nvidia does

they were already using tsmc 5nm back in 2020 for the original M1 and nvidia is still using 5nm for the 5090 xd

[granite sundial]

didnt apple buy up the entirety of production for the 3nm node

[limber nacelle]

they should start using ifs /s

[teal sinew]

i would love that

the biggest consumer tech company in the world using IFS

[granite sundial]

are nvidia enterprise cards made in the same foundry as consumer cards?

as a business node nvidia consumer cards are essentially irrelevant

[teal sinew]

yah

[granite sundial]

its like 5% of their revenue

why sell a 5090 when u can sell basically the same die with more vram for 10 or 20k

[gusty wagon]

Apple to let TSMC produce custom chips under newly acquired Intel fabrication plants

[limber nacelle]

because the 5090 is the defective version

you sell them because you can't sell them as the rtx6000 blackwell

[granite sundial]

is that why production is so slow? theres no production line dedicated to 5090?

[livid mason]

Not bad for a 14b model that doesn't even have a GPU

[limber nacelle]

not sure but i wouldn't be surprised

[granite sundial]

iirc consumer gpus is under 10% of nvidias revenue

and an even smaller percentage of profit margin

[short shoal]

Okay I have this 1080ti where the fans are not spinning. It will go all the way up to 90c never start spinning. I tried replacing the fans and the cord connecting them together but it changed nothing. Any suggestions i also checked fan curve its should work fine

[teal sinew]

i bet youd commit warcrimes to get a 6000 blackwell

you fein for the 96GB of G7

[azure topaz]

deshroud and put case fans on it ig

[oblique terrace]

How did Pinocchio find out he was made of wood?

[granite sundial]

it would be slower for gaming cuz it doesnt have game ready drivers

[gleaming rose]

looked in a mirror? hello?

[azure topaz]

he doesnt care

[oblique terrace]

His right hand caught on fire

[teal sinew]

ennui does actual stuff on their pc not just fortnite

[gleaming rose]

and to confirm just say "i am made out of wood"
if his nose sticks out, hes wrong

[short shoal]

Yeah uhhh its not my gpu its my friends. Tho i could plug the fans into the motherboard maybe

[gleaming rose]

what brand android is this

[azure topaz]

could try

[teal sinew]

how much would you be willing to pay for a 3090Ti FE?

[azure topaz]

about 8 dollars

[oblique terrace]

Asus is a crappy motherboard, older ones were anyway

[azure topaz]

i am not purchasing a gpu rn

[teal sinew]

is there no universe in which youd buy it to daily drive?

[steel umbra]

600

[gleaming rose]

ntfs is a fuck

[azure topaz]

i mean sure but like 550-620$

[steel umbra]

3090 ti is a power monster

[azure topaz]

i have a 1300g2

[steel umbra]

e

[short shoal]

It’s probably what imma try next because idk what will work

[gleaming rose]

just curious

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-meme-loser-uses-linux-stop-reading-tags-gif-21370654

[junior valve]

yet the connectors doesnt melt

[azure topaz]

cause nvidia remembered how to make a proper implementation

[steel umbra]

well, if you wanted to you could

[plain cypress]

2014*

[junior valve]

cake

[azure topaz]

id install that

[plain cypress]

Why is it bleeding

[azure topaz]

souls of the damned

[left dove]

souls of the overly wet ganache

[steel umbra]

forbidden 5090

[left dove]

I mean in all honesty I'd give it a taste, it looks moist & rich at least

although the sagginess does make it look like a snorkel mask

[limber nacelle]

dude i would wipe bosnia off the map for a chance to hold one

[copper egret]

Isnt Bosnia already like Minesweeper.

[limber nacelle]

i have no idea, it's the first country to pop up in my mind

[left dove]

bosnian ape society?

[steel umbra]

threaten to erase bosnia from the map and get 1000 5090s

easy

[limber nacelle]

i would do it for a 1000 5090s, easy

[left dove]

I'm sure some enemy country would pay you in gpus lol

[limber nacelle]

dude i'd do it for 1

like, just put the big red button in front of me and just utter the word 5090

[junior valve]

12vhwp

[plain cypress]

12V High Flame Rate

[left dove]

At this point should companies start R&D on internal case fire suppression systems?

Co2 dispersal, fan controller integration, louvered one-way ducting..

[granite sundial]

maybe if they designed an actual high power connector

[left dove]

I mean I think it'd be neat

or you know just use a XT90

[granite sundial]

most AIB 5090s are over 600 watts

[limber nacelle]

the fire risk isn't a bug, it's a feature

fireplace mode, for when it's cold out

[granite sundial]

the connector has such a slim safety factor that too many plug and unplug cycles can put it out of spec

[left dove]

"In emergency scenarios of extreme cold weather events, your Nvidia graphics card can be used as a long-burning firestarter"

[limber nacelle]

exactly

[granite sundial]

theres no way the actual safety factor on it is 1.1 right

[limber nacelle]

jokes on you, nvidia doesn't give a flying fuck

[granite sundial]

it also has no active load balancing because fuck adding 2 dollars of componentry

[left dove]

pci sig is still massive dummy for not adding in at minimum load balancing across the connector

[limber nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/pirómano-meme-jeje-odio-bomberos-gif-15722930

[left dove]

I love that child's energy

"Mommy says this will get me new toys"

[granite sundial]

their propaganda campaign is obviously working because when the first 5090 went up in flames everyone went to blame user error because of 30 series

but 30 series had active load balancing

[limber nacelle]

err, 30 series didn't have any fires

[granite sundial]

iirc GN calculated that one of the wires had 22 amps going over it

[limber nacelle]

it was with 40 series that it started burning

[left dove]

[junior valve]

coolermaster already does that

[limber nacelle]

i mean, the only ampere card with the 12vhpwr is the 3090ti anyways

[left dove]

the actual fuck

[granite sundial]

werent 3rd party adapters melting

[limber nacelle]

i believe the rest of the 30 series 12 pin connectors don't have sense pins

[junior valve]

corsair ll120 at the rear looks nice

[limber nacelle]

i had a 12vhpwr 90 degree adapter, that was for 40 series

[granite sundial]

ah okie

[left dove]

wtf was that boiling off

[junior valve]

coolant

[left dove]

no i know

was it literally boiling off?

[granite sundial]

but yeah if theyre gonna insist on using this shitshow of a connector 5090 should have had two of them

[limber nacelle]

yeah let's keep the pc on while the aio is doing that, great idea looooool

[junior valve]

coolant touches the cpu

[left dove]

no, coolant touches the cool plate

[limber nacelle]

i mean it's a pascal or rdna card anyways

[plain cypress]

I will destroy everything you care about

[limber nacelle]

sooooo at least the gpu wasn't anything decent

[junior valve]

200$ loss

[limber nacelle]

i don't think it's turindg cause i don't see rtx branding on the side

[steel umbra]

what is this

[limber nacelle]

not even loooool

[junior valve]

aio leak by masterleaker

2 years old aio

[steel umbra]

why it’s throwing gases at the tempered glass

[limber nacelle]

it's venemous

:P

[azure topaz]

ofc this mug would leave his computer on

[steel umbra]

i would too

looks amusing

why it’s leaking gas tho? or whatever is evaporating

[limber nacelle]

lol I said the same thing

[steel umbra]

for how long did he leave it on that it boils the coolant?

[azure topaz]

probably not very

[steel umbra]

i feel like he was running a benchmark while the aio was leaking

🔥

[plain cypress]

Waifu PSU stickers

[junior valve]

why didnt the psu trip anyways

[copper egret]

What lego set in the back.

[plain cypress]

Terrible unmemorable name, one sec

[copper egret]

That's sick, how long until you finish it?

[plain cypress]

Some time late next week

Or mid march

The dust is caked on

So I'm gonna disassemble it tonight and tomorrow

Then I go out of town for 5 days

Then I'll try to clean it next week

Then I'm out of town for 2 weeks

So uhhh probably march

Or I can say screw the dust and just put the wings back on

Yes

[copper egret]

Well take your time, legos are fun on long term.

[plain cypress]

Yes they are
This is what I have logged in the app right now

[steel umbra]

i have too many of these stickers due to the amount of core reactors i purchased

also a lot of spare ha1225h12f-zs

few of them i destroyed because they have poor qc

[plain cypress]

Did you just shit on your keyboard

[steel umbra]

hong hua yes

even more confusing is when you learn that there are two versions of that fan one is fdb, other one is rifle

does that make a sence to you?

[sinful cobalt]

I bought a MGEX strike freedom model kit 3 months back and I havent finished it xdd

[steel umbra]

the rifle version is even worse than the already poor fdb version

[junior valve]

screen

[steel umbra]

also kinda weird that the new psu tierlist lists that every psu that’s like a rifle bearing will not be A automatically

a shitty fdb will be worse than a decent rifle

[plain cypress]

Ignoring the small wattage difference it's crazy how much smaller it is than my HX850i

[steel umbra]

it’s weird that decently A tier performing psus such as the vita gm ended up B+ tier

[plain cypress]

Oh I just sniffed a cable

[steel umbra]

and the core reactor II is A+ despite featuring one of the shittiest, no qc fdb fans i’ve ever seen, even for budget psu standards

[plain cypress]

🤢

I feel dizzy

[junior valve]

how do u even test psu performance?

[steel umbra]

quality of power, component review

if protection sets are working correctly

and the psu doesn’t blow up, which a lot of models do just not catastrophically that it damages components usually

under certain conditions

and etc…

if it weren’t for the fan the vita gm would be plain A tier

[junior valve]

whats wrong with the fan?

[steel umbra]

and i wouldn’t probs call the core reactors A+ anymore personally, they do have some weak spots but that’s their psu indexing not mine so,

[steel umbra]

it’s rifle

that’s like it…

[junior valve]

whats the fan on the hxi anyways , just wondering

i think they r maglevs

[steel umbra]

corsair uses pretty good fans on their lineups expect for like pre 2025 rme

which features… ha1225h12f-z.

rifle bearing

also what makes even less sense to me why is rme A tier on the new list when the old rme is rifle not anymore after reevaluation

it’s literally worse than the vita gm in all aspects

well, not all but most

weak A tier or well A-

[junior valve]

is the hxi A or A+?

[copper egret]

ZTT made a new psu tier list.

[steel umbra]

it’s mediocre

as stated it’s missing a decent amount of older units which is okay ig

[copper egret]

It is, grain of salt as anything on the internet.

[plain cypress]

ban

[quasi field]

The random usb c port lmao

[plain cypress]

its not random

[plain cypress]

software logging/monitoring of your voltage rails

[steel umbra]

still, better than the outdated cultists tierlist site/doc ver.

[plain cypress]

screenshots...

[steel umbra]

but yeah, i hope they improve the list

[quasi field]

What cpu?

[junior valve]

13900k , y u ask

[steel umbra]

vita gm in B+ tier is sadge when rme is A-

[copper egret]

I mean i cross check psus between websites. If i see a psu like the EVGA n1 always considered a bomb i may not buy it.

[quasi field]

Is it 140watt idle

[junior valve]

gpu 10w , fans 70w , cpu 40w and 20w for other stuff ( drives)

[steel umbra]

oh the rme is b+ tier also in the new psu list?

hmm

[quasi field]

Ohhhh that’s whole system power

[azure topaz]

wanna know something you can do that through the 24 pin 🔥

[plain cypress]

with an intermediary device?

[azure topaz]

mind blown

[junior valve]

the psu can also control the rgb

[plain cypress]

TIL there are COM pins

[quasi field]

Honestly fire software

[junior valve]

signal rgb has nothing on ts🙏

[quasi field]

Idk if my gpu has software I haven’t checked

I think my aio has software too

[junior valve]

icue can also control gpu rgb , mobo rgb , it doesnt need to be corsair for icue to detect it

[plain cypress]

is this being communicated from the PSU or is the board simply reading the input voltage

[azure topaz]

simply reading the input voltage but thats more than anyone would need tbh

[quasi field]

I also use icue with my scuf controller

[plain cypress]

oh so it doesn't do everything the PSU does

[quasi field]

$180 controller goes hard

[plain cypress]

thats like the part i least care about

[azure topaz]

this is clearly worth a 2 million dollar premium

[forest lotus]

I've never had icue work ever for me. But I think that's mainly to do with me having non Corsair parts. So I just use signal RGB or openrgb

[steel umbra]

anyways i think they should not also rate the psus just by checking whenever a psu doesn’t use rifle but rather if that rifle is somewhat decent and if it will outlast the psu itself

[plain cypress]

i didn't pay for my psu

[steel umbra]

just doing “rifle = no higher than B+” is kinda strange

[junior valve]

they arent buggy anymore, more responsive than signal rgb for me

[steel umbra]

especially when the ha1225h12f-z is so shitty

[azure topaz]

explode

[forest lotus]

It just won't detect any of my parts

[plain cypress]

i hope your pet gerbil explodes

[junior valve]

u need to download your mobo plugins

[azure topaz]

why do i suddenly have a gerbil

[forest lotus]

Not GPU. Not even my now Corsair ram. Or my argb headers. Just nah.

[plain cypress]

yes

[azure topaz]

oh okay

[plain cypress]

fine you can have a space hamster

[azure topaz]

how about an entire floppa

[plain cypress]

wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy tbh

[azure topaz]

💔 but but funny cat

[oblique terrace]

Have any of you used one of your screwdrivers to reach a back itch?

Its fucking amazing

[gleaming rose]

i got openbsd running after a lot of trial and error

[steel umbra]

the rme, but the old rme is no longer A- but B+ because of the new indexing

[gleaming rose]

shit takes like a minute to boot

[steel umbra]

hxi should be A/A+

[oblique terrace]

Try running Linux on a 500mhz Celeron

[steel umbra]

the newer models are A+

even if you find like a hxi 2013 that hasn’t been used for too long or is relatively new’ish that’s still very good

[junior valve]

hxi were pretty popular back then , like they just come with every high-end builds , i don’t see many people using them now

[steel umbra]

well, they’re pricey $$$

[junior valve]

250$ is okay for a 1000w psu with hardware monitor

[latent pasture]

nvm there is

[steel umbra]

digital platform pricey

[latent pasture]

but its more abt how long it lasts not how silent

could be a loud fan that lasts a million hours and its fine ig

[junior valve]

might as well put a lcd screen on the side

[steel umbra]

i slap p12s into my psus and i’m done

or whatever works

though as always i don’t recommend it cause some idiot is going to open a psu and touch a cap while being grounded

or exposed circuit

[steel umbra]

yeah but it’s… not very convincing when you have a fan that has 3-12 month warranty from the manufacturer inside a psu that’s supposted to have 10 year warranty and each fan produces different amount of noise and audible vibrations on some of my units, you can have a decent rifle bearing fan too

a cheaped out fdb may be worse than a decent rifle

[red bluff]

"Buy this item with"

Gotta be safe, y'know.

before launch: "are asus out of their minds??? 800$ over msrp??"
after launch: "omg I want an astral omg I want an astral"

[steel umbra]

and probably a second extinguisher, one is not enough

[mortal fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-TL-C12C-Computer-Included-Quantities）/dp/B0BKKG1ZND/ref=sr_1_3

are these fans good?

[left palm]

for emm intake or exaust

[mortal fossil]

yes

[left palm]

what

intake or exaust bruh 😭

[mortal fossil]

both

[left palm]

oh

wait what

3 for 13$ ?
bruh

[mortal fossil]

3 intake

1 exhaust

[left palm]

oh wait the P12 is also pretty good for the price too

[mortal fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07HC782D5/ref=sr_1_3

my montech case comes with 4 fans

[left palm]

yeah..

[mortal fossil]

so i might use one fan as exhaust

from the case

two top fans exhaust

[left palm]

yeah 3 at the top
1 at the back
1 just in case or maybe at the bottom if possible

[left palm]

gimme link

[mortal fossil]

https://a.co/d/bjS6vUA

oh wait this has four fans fuck

oh i see room for 2 more uptop lets go

[left palm]

ye

[hoary agate]

guys should I get a cheap ass replacement keyboard for my broken one or buy a royal kludge

[steel umbra]

what’s your budget

[hoary agate]

preferably under 40 bucks as im on a tight budget

[rigid fjord]

5 of them for $30, making them a better fan choice than noctua, they're also quieter than noctua

[left palm]

mhm

[weak osprey]

And not colored like a smokers walls

[rigid fjord]

you mean not looking like a taco tuesday results

[steel umbra]

db/c cooled >

ideally also with sound demos of the fans

and frequencies

cfm does not tell you a lot, same with rpm

[steel umbra]

yeah probably should check chinese marketplaces, also probably watch for models that are known to have pcbs/batteries catching fire

just like with any device that contains batteries

[rigid fjord]

if you like cherry mx red switches, you could grab a cougar attack x3 keyboard

[steel umbra]

there are also people spreading bs and intentionally making devices fail or user error that causes the batteries catch fire such as spilling something on the keyboards or a mod that bridges something you don’t want

but most of the burning incidents are legit

also, on most budget chinesium boards you’ll be able to disconnect the battery if you have one and the keyboard would still work as normal wired if you’re concerned about the chance

any preferable size?

100%, 1800, 80%, 75%, lower?

or with extra macro or media keys

[hushed tundra]

Isn’t it kinda funny that we went from passive cooling to 6 fans(on the case alone) because of how heat inefficient and strong components got?

[left dove]

wholesome keeb weebs

[steel umbra]

you don’t really need 6 case fans unless you’re running something more exotic

[hushed tundra]

Should one buy a clapboard, or will thou hands suffice?

[steel umbra]

usually even just 2 front fans is enough

for standard atx case

[hushed tundra]

Sorry but my rig needs absolute performance. I’m a serious Roblox esports player /j

[hushed tundra]

Eh, I might need to upgrade mine unfortunately tho

I kind know why it’s struggling so much but I don’t know if I can change it much besides just giving it more fans

When I’m pushing the GPU to 100% it consistently goes to 90 Celsius but I don’t wanna kill it

It’s a 3060ti

[steel umbra]

hotspot? that’s fine

long term you should run the card below water boiling temps or about <99c

[frosty oriole]

I made a spreadsheet.

[steel umbra]

5080 ti will likely not exist.

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, poor sales of this gen won't be enough for it to release.

[steel umbra]

nvidia wants to space out their cards by a clear line, if you want the best you gotta pay

[vale aurora]

So it turns out a home AV setup I just got has a passive amp. Is this fine?

[steel umbra]

5090D also

[hoary agate]

I mean I’ve used tkl the most before so I would rather that, I found a used RK for 28 dollars might buy

[frosty oriole]

I can definitely see them making a in-between card that's not as good of a value as the 5090, but a better one than the 5080. But I don't think they actually will end up doing that.

[steel umbra]

well, which rk, the old skus are bad

[steel umbra]

well, that’s what the 5090D sort of is

[hoary agate]

this is what it is not sure of the sku

[frosty oriole]

Isn't that China-only?

[steel umbra]

yes

[frosty oriole]

Ah, I don't really consider it, then.

[plucky frost]

does anyone know ubuntu?

[rigid fjord]

#linux

[bleak granite]

Can someone say what would be the best cpu to pair with 5080

[steel umbra]

we had 4090, 4090d, no 4080 ti or such, just 4080/s which was not top end die, now 5090, 5090d and no 5080 ti yet, just 5080 which is also not top notch die

also some 4070 ti supers iirc had ad102 instead of ad103 but well, still a 4070 ti super

[frosty oriole]

That is wack. Are those later models?

[steel umbra]

it was introduced later but i don’t know right now, would have to check which models had the ad102, they don’t perform any better than the ad103

it’s not the rtx 2060 ko ultra situation

[frosty oriole]

2060 KO was an odd, but cool card.

754mm² die too hard to make? Let's make it into an 80 class 80 super class 70 Ti class 70 super class 70 class 60 super class 60 KO class card!

[steel umbra]

yeah that’s one of the older models, not known for being good in any way, i’d avoid, you can get better with your budget

[nocturne matrix]

when that's how dogs drink instead of cats

[south arrow]

Voided the 70 ti, it's a 90 or nothinn

[steel umbra]

90 ti

whatever it was msrp

[stray cobalt]

why is my laptop getting 30 fps on marvel rivals with all settings set to the lowest

im running a gtx 1660 ti

[dusky crest]

Neat

[dusky crest]

Battery power

[stray cobalt]

what does that mean

[true stirrup]

W then

[junior kiln]

Probably background processes or ram leaks or sm

[true stirrup]

Because Marvel Rivals is demanding af for some reason

Legit it compiling shaders is pushes my CPU almost as much as Prime95

[stray cobalt]

ram leaks?

[dusky crest]

You are running from battery instead of the wall

[stray cobalt]

elaborate?

wdym the wall

[junior kiln]

is this a troll chat

[true stirrup]

He means that the laptop works slower when not plugged in to the outlet to save on battery life

[stray cobalt]

i always run my laptop with plugged in

[dusky crest]

Is the laptop plugged in to a power source or not

[stray cobalt]

yes

[dusky crest]

Hmm

[dusky crest]

Well then uhh it's potato at dis point

[stray cobalt]

this means its plugged in right

[formal sonnet]

What is the exact make + model of laptop?

[stray cobalt]

its a HP omen 15, gtx 1660 ti ryzen 5 4800H and 16gb ram

im pretty sure its omen 15 its the 2020 model

[true stirrup]

Try installing the optimisation mod for Marvel Rivals

[stray cobalt]

i heard its bannable

[true stirrup]

No one has been banned from mods yet

[empty quartz]

God this camera is good (my standards are low since im coming from an iphone 12)

[stray cobalt]

when the game first came out my laptop was running it perfectly fine

idk what happened in the short few months

[junior kiln]

Look for background processes in your task manager and make sure things like Creative Cloud, your browser, or other unneeded processes arent constantly running

Ubisoft, EA Game Launcher, creative cloud will run resources even when you set them NOT to even start when PC boots up

Stuff like that

[stray cobalt]

wth 84 background processes

[junior kiln]

Watch your task manager and watch what hits at or close to 100％

[stray cobalt]

is that normal

[true stirrup]

Most are windows so it doesn't sound bad

[junior kiln]

I mean Windows has a trillion so yeah

[dusky crest]

Random aliexpress laptop ZX96420

[junior kiln]

It just matters what its taking up resources. e.g. for me Creative Cloud from Adobe is a pest and I found processes running on my PC even after doing a deep clean with Revo Uninstaller and CLEARING regedit

it looks like your browser is eating a lot of memory but that also loosk like you just dont have very much

[dusky crest]

Auto clicker, how dare you?

[dusky crest]

Jk

[junior kiln]

Like are yo urunning that OP auto clicker all the time, do you need it right now? what the hell is tinytask?

[stray cobalt]

the autoclicker and tiny task barely consume resources

[junior kiln]

Most of the processes running on your PC you can google just to figure out what it is and if it doesnt need to run, kill it. On the left side of your task manager, there is a "Startup Apps", just make sure everything you dont need running all the time or on start up are just turned off

[junior kiln]

It adds up fast when you have limited resources in the first place

[harsh whale]

Wtf does a "Military-grade Certification" do to a GPU?

[true stirrup]

Marketing

It means nothing

[harsh whale]

Then why put it there?

[true stirrup]

So it sounds better

And then people think it's better and it gets more sales

[harsh whale]

Its actually way more expensive than the 4060 TI

(for me atleast)

[white sphinx]

It makes it run 3x worse, and cost 30% more

[true stirrup]

It will not run any worse

[junior kiln]

It's like when keyboards from Corsair are labeled with "military-grade anodized aluminium body", like it actually matters at all. It just means it uses an industry standard manufacturing process but we all know that doesnt mean anything

[white sphinx]

Almost as bad as «automotive grade coolant»

[junior kiln]

ha

[harsh whale]

😂

[formal sonnet]

The same reason companies are putting the "AI" label on everything, despite it actually being Machine Learning that in many cases doesn't really do much for the end user / customer. If someone, somewhere puts a label on their product, and nobody else follows suit, everyone will only buy the misleadingly labelled product.

[junior kiln]

it's getting on my nerves everything having some mediocre AI on it that does nothing but be a nuisance for the products I have to use because there are no other alternatives

[white sphinx]

AI is the new blockchain trust me bro

[harsh whale]

So your telling me that I should get the 4060 TI (Cheaper than the 3070)

[true stirrup]

It's cheaper than a used 3070?
