[tidal geyser]

no

[elder quarry]

Oh god

[wheat field]

I only shop in wets or markets with my wife. Even though I speak mandarin they don't care

[tidal geyser]

2k pc with a 100$ screen

[wheat field]

Yuh

[left dove]

sticky dumplings are fun to roll around in the rest of the dish to pick up food bits

[covert rain]

Why would I play CS2/Rust/ARK/LoL or anything like that in 1440

[covert rain]

It's 240Hz

[tidal geyser]

since it looks better by a lot?

[jaunty apex]

Why wouldnt you esp with a 4080

[elder quarry]

I have a 7900GRE at 1080, and it rarely reach full utilisation

[tidal geyser]

yeah 100$?

well used but still

[covert rain]

I genuinely don't need more than 240Hz and 1080p

[tidal geyser]

anyways rust=X3D

[normal tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAQjF5RPgbg

[elder quarry]

Just try 1440

[vivid pagoda]

I ask for an USB-C adapter. Listed? 799 NTD. Moment I speak with an accent or slip alittle English. $1900 NTD. The label? Oh no that’s the old price.

[tidal geyser]

are you able to buy a r5 7600X3D?

[wheat field]

Gamer math

[eternal cloak]

Oh dw, shit is here as well
Since I'm part German and do not look Japanese whatsoever (the only thing I inherited from my mother is my thin-ass hair, which does not help me lmfao), when I have a helmet on and drive a motorcycle and get pulled over, they assume and Japanese and treat me as such; when I take the helmet off, the happy small talk disappears quickly and goes to 'So when does your visa expire?'

[elder quarry]

I haven’t learned rust yet

[tidal geyser]

almost no matter what for rust ya kinda just want to have a X3D cpu

[tidal geyser]

game

[elder quarry]

Basically no languages

[elder quarry]

Oh

[jaunty apex]

trust.. 1440p > 1080p. I cant attest for 240hz but 144 (optional 165) is still great

[elder quarry]

Didn’t read full message

[covert rain]

Only the 9th and 7th gen are available on Amazon or similar sites

[vivid pagoda]

Did you managed to keep Japanese citizenship?

[tidal geyser]

what?

there is no 7th gen ryzen

[covert rain]

of the x3d

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

[tidal geyser]

yeah no shit there are only X3Ds of ryzen 7000 and 9000

[eternal cloak]

Oh yeah, I applied for an exemption, promised a small.. investment and suddenly they were very happy to let me keep my citizenship

[gloomy sleet]

no?

[elder quarry]

Huh

[normal tusk]

arent there 5000 x3ds

[tidal geyser]

*for am5

[vivid pagoda]

I’m technically a local in Taiwan legally. But I’ll forever be a foreigner at heart hehe. 🇨🇦

[normal tusk]

oh

[covert rain]

Bro like what, you have the 7th and 9th gen of Ryzen the same as with intel

[gloomy sleet]

when 3600x3d amd

[tidal geyser]

no

[elder quarry]

Oh

[covert rain]

But either way, what motherboard would I even take for the 7800x3d

[tidal geyser]

ryzen 7000 is zen 4 aka ryzen 4th gen

[jaunty apex]

7th and 9th gen are actually 4th and 5th gen

[tidal geyser]

cheapest it sips power

[vivid pagoda]

Usually people born with Dual Nationality can just say you’ll attempt to renounce and leave it at that.

[eternal cloak]

So now I have an European citizenship, a Japanese citizenship and an US alien card for which I have to travel back to the US once a year so it doesn't expire kek

[strange atlas]

is "BitFenix BPA Bronze 750W 80+" good for psu i can afford this and i have nuke non branded psu

[covert rain]

Such as?

[elder quarry]

Good vrms

[tidal geyser]

b850m-x

[gloomy sleet]

i have one of those too

[wheat field]

Gets weird in mainland china..part of the reason we're leaving when we have kids.

[tidal geyser]

i just said it sips power

[gloomy sleet]

i just go to oregon on my vacation once a year

[wheat field]

I had the option to take a green card here and said no

So much hassle

[tidal geyser]

it uses less power then a r5 7600

[vivid pagoda]

Umm if you don’t stay in the US for an extended period of time. CBP could say you abandoned it and tell you to give it up

[sleek ibex]

I'm just glad that my younger brother wasn't born with the cursed passport like me and a good portion of my family did

[wheat field]

3 months out of the year for most countries

[jaunty apex]

alien card? lol

[wheat field]

Although if they have work there they could easily argue they have ties to the country

[vivid pagoda]

Your kid would have a weird status. Technically dual. But not rly. Hong Kong maybe useful

[covert rain]

What about the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk, it's $30 more expensive

[normal tusk]

i have US citizenship so I pay a small fee every year for benefits such as umm

[eternal cloak]

Nah, they were really keen on having me to decide citizenships, they bothered, borderline threatened me up until my 23rd birthday (which is when you have to finally decide), even though I filed for an exemption by the time I turned 20 already, they just took ages to process it

[tidal geyser]

thats am4

[eternal cloak]

CBP hasn't bothered me yet lol

[wheat field]

It's weirder than that.

You'd have to decide the nationality at birth, they can't be "mixed"

[tidal geyser]

just give me your pcpartpicker

[covert rain]

Ah, true

[sleek ibex]

Our passport is only more powerful than Afghanistan

[wheat field]

Usually you need a lawyer to have a baby here lol if you're a foreigner

[covert rain]

I don't have one, I'm just upgrading the CPU rn

[normal tusk]

what passport is it

[tidal geyser]

what???

what is going on here

[covert rain]

I am not using the pcpartpicker

[tidal geyser]

also you should still have a pcpartpicker of the pc

[jaunty apex]

Keep part lists, helps yourself and others

[vivid pagoda]

They can technically have both if your wife has a HK permanent ID card. It’s weird

[wheat field]

HK?

[vivid pagoda]

Hong Kong is weird

[wheat field]

She's from shandong my friend.

[normal tusk]

sounds lovely

[wheat field]

She's got an EU green card type thing as long as she refuses with me

[vivid pagoda]

You can get a Hong Kong Permanent ID card as a mainlander

[wheat field]

RECIDES

Not refuses

[wheat field]

Don't you have to have work and/or live there? I'm shaky on the ruling because I'm not a mainlander

[vivid pagoda]

Mainlander with HK Permanent ID card can get a HK passport. If you naturalize elsewhere you don’t lose Chinese citizenship cuz HKG interprets it weirdly

[wheat field]

Weird

[eternal cloak]

I'm from Okinawa btw, with some luck I can see Taiwan from a higher vantage point assuming both have clear weather kek

[covert rain]

Well, here

[wheat field]

My visa situation is already strange so I don't rock the boat

[pearl fossil]

does anyone have an lga 1155 motherboard they're willing to donate

[vivid pagoda]

😂 how so?

[wheat field]

I'm on an X1 visa with permission to work as long as it's related to my course (hence why I do server maintenance)

[hoary tree]

Looks like the "Press Build" GPUS weren't so standard after all...

[wheat field]

I used to be on a z-visa

[vivid pagoda]

Can’t you get a spousal visa?

[normal tusk]

which incident

[pearl fossil]

i got some broken hp desktop and i want to reuse most parts except the motherboard which is broken

[wheat field]

But I study now so I had to enter Hong Kong get the X1, come back into the mainland, register my residency

[wheat field]

Can't work on it, only study

[mortal jackal]

Tf

Why was that blocked

[wheat field]

This is the only way to work and study. It's weird

[vivid pagoda]

I’m lucky. Got a weird status.

[eternal cloak]

So you were the naughty cookie

[sleek ibex]

Syria

[wheat field]

I mean mine is not extremely rare.

[normal tusk]

stop breaking the rules jawa

[mortal jackal]

Hey, it wasn't me

[vivid pagoda]

China is like. We won’t give you a visa because you’re a citizen. I’m like… what?

[wheat field]

But it's rare. Most people I know life on extended L visas and teach illegally...private tutoring.

They make up to 30k yuan a month doing that

Which is more than enough to be comfy

[tidal geyser]

link?

[sleek ibex]

Oh WTF is now worse💀

[wheat field]

But if you get caught? Bye bye lol

[covert rain]

Got warned for sending it, so I can't

[vivid pagoda]

If you get caught… oooof

[tidal geyser]

what?

[mortal jackal]

warship being weird

[vivid pagoda]

China is rough on illegal workers

[normal tusk]

yeah i hear they um dont like them they um dont like them

[eternal cloak]

As they should be tbf kek

[covert rain]

Sent you the link in dms

[mortal jackal]

Send the link without the at.

[carmine yew]

Hey, Warship, eat my arse!

[sleek ibex]

[wheat field]

Not that big of an oof sometimes.

They don't care about private tutoring, it's the crappy language centres that get raided.

If you just go to someone's house and tutor nobody will ever catch you unless you like, publicly advertise it

[elder quarry]

Growing every day

[covert rain]

pcpartpicker.com/list/

[wheat field]

They wouldn't have so many if they made the spousal visa make sense

[vivid pagoda]

The spousal visa doesn’t make sense. Lmfao

[wheat field]

If you take it, can't work or volunteer

If you don't take it you can technically volunteer

[empty summit]

can someone help me idk if my phone is just old or if theres something i can do to make it run smoother its an old Galaxy A02s

[wheat field]

Nope

[wheat field]

Factory reset

[pearl fossil]

bruh why is shipping almost the cost of a motherboard off ebay

[normal tusk]

damn

[empty summit]

i have done a COMPLETE reset like wiped EVERYTHING

[pearl fossil]

17€ shipping for 22€ motherboard

[eternal cloak]

Stop living on small ass island then, don't be me

[vivid pagoda]

Like not being able to work on a spousal visa is abit weird

[pearl fossil]

i live in europe dummy

mainland

[wheat field]

None of the Chinese visas make sense because China is a very fast and loose country in terms of the law because it's up to whoever catches you doing something shady and then it's up to if they even know it's illegal.

No joke I've seen some immigrants get away with crazy shit over here.

[tidal geyser]

yeah cmon small island /s

[vivid pagoda]

Cyprus?

[normal tusk]

bulgaria issue

[eternal cloak]

Was about to say, are you seriously implying Europe doesn't have islands lmao

[pearl fossil]

belgium so no not small island

[pearl fossil]

i said mainland

[wheat field]

....wee Irish man checking in

[normal tusk]

damn i was close thats like same letter it starts with

[sleek ibex]

Luckily with the collapse of the previous regime recently, we might see a massive improvement though who knows

[pearl fossil]

oh ok sorry missed that part lmao

[vivid pagoda]

China has a rule with 180d as a tourist. But if you have visa free it’s up to the guy at the border to know

[lost lance]

Uhm what the hell

[elder quarry]

Magic mice

[wheat field]

The visa free thing is kind of epic because you can apply for an L visa in the country now

Had a friend visit who wanted to stay longer, have him a 60 day L for 200 rmb at exit entry

He was on a visa free. Didn't even ask for anything

[eternal cloak]

Congratulations, you have presumably a broken electron gun

[wheat field]

China is very desperate for tourists atm

[normal tusk]

maybe cable problem

[eternal cloak]

Either that or the cable or the deflection yoke

[mortal jackal]

Aight it's probably best to take the regional talk to #off-topic at this point :P

[eternal cloak]

When my board says ‚native freq: DDR5-5600 (Ryzen 9000)‘, am I still fine to run ddr5-6000 ram?

[carmine yew]

ope

[vivid pagoda]

😔 I wish Canada has Visa Free. So China doesn’t question me. Visa applications are fucked for me because they see me and are like… proof you aren’t a Chinese citizen!

[wheat field]

Lame

[wheat field]

Hehe screen go brrr

[eternal cloak]

Only if you watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkyVk7lyZYQ

[wheat field]

We can't discuss our beloved Xi daddy land anymore here habibi

[vivid pagoda]

Kinda funny. PRC told me to go recognize the ROC. Then apply for a permit. Even though I’ve never been to Taiwan before.

[wheat field]

I remember it launching on xbox

[limber nacelle]

whyd they swab u last time then

[mortal jackal]

👀

[normal tusk]

and if its not cable problem gg have fun diagnosing that explosive death bomb

[vivid pagoda]

oh, hey, Linus says: RTFM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwyGHFheTFo

[pearl fossil]

should i get a new motherboard or a 2011 imac

[normal tusk]

are they the same price

[pearl fossil]

no

[eternal cloak]

Video makes me tear up every time, good old times

[pearl fossil]

but around the same time period

[normal tusk]

cause let me tell you that 2011 imac aint gonna run a browser very well

oh

[pearl fossil]

neither can the pc with the new motherboard then

[normal tusk]

so by new motherboard you meant new as in like old

[pearl fossil]

and you're lying

[mortal jackal]

I replaced a 2011 Mac Mini for a family member recently

[wheat field]

I miss old school Minecraft

[pearl fossil]

yes, but new to me

[elder quarry]

lol

[normal tusk]

i am lying?

[wheat field]

What did you do with the Mac mini

Did you eat it?

[mortal jackal]

A shelf ate it

[wheat field]

Why would you eat a Mac mini dude

[carmine yew]

used it as a golf ball

[normal tusk]

same, couldnt run a browser very well.

[vivid pagoda]

I wonder if Taiwan makes their own passport chips…

[normal tusk]

was no longer supported by chrome updates

[pearl fossil]

actually idk but all i know is that if i can run a browser well on a 2009 macbook then a 2011 imac can do it much better

[mortal jackal]

It ran mostly ok, but it was unsupported and the hacks to run newer versions were causing issues

[wheat field]

Habibi stop, he didn't accept the hongbao 🧧

[carmine yew]

the rule "no shitposting" doesn't often actually happen, even with people shitposting at mods directly lol

[mortal jackal]

Had been SSD swapped years prior

[pearl fossil]

what hacks?

i use oclp on sonoma for my macbooks

[eternal cloak]

You can literally talk about this in the off-topic channel bruh

[wheat field]

Ok...

[wheat field]

:/ I know

[mortal jackal]

I don't recall the exact method, but I'm sure they're fairly easy to find

Either way, m4 mac mini op

[pearl fossil]

if i get a 2011 imac i'd replace the gpu, ram, and storage immediately

[normal tusk]

this indicates to me that you do not know what a browser feels like when it runs well and this is good because it makes you able to use 2011 imacs until you find out

[wheat field]

Could you run two 5090s in one rig?

[eternal cloak]

Word

[normal tusk]

you can replace the gpu on an imac?

[vivid pagoda]

TRUE

[eternal cloak]

Yeah, why not
1600W PSUs have existed for a bit

[vivid pagoda]

I love my M4 MacBook Pro

[mortal jackal]

I love my M1 Max MacBook Pro and feel no need to upgrade

[hoary tree]

Not all RTX 5090's are the same

[pearl fossil]

bro it runs about as well as my i5-10400f pc and my ryzen 3 pro 5350ge mini pc

[normal tusk]

says who

[wheat field]

I was thinking of getting one for school but went for a dell latitude that I installed mint cinnamon on

[pearl fossil]

just a bit more unstable at times but browsing feels similar, even running macos on all 3

[limber nacelle]

when did you buy one

[wheat field]

Yikes

[limber nacelle]

[mortal jackal]

Congrats, you have Mint in common with PewDiePie

[vivid pagoda]

Ummm December

[hoary tree]

I hope nvidia will be GRILLED for this

[pearl fossil]

old macs hold up so much better than old pcs

[limber nacelle]

oh I mustve been away during that time so I probably missed it

[normal tusk]

just mark them as LHR LRR

[pearl fossil]

btw here is my lenovo thinkcentre m75q gen 2 running ventura

[elder quarry]

ROFL

[wheat field]

Ya, I'm in an odd spot tho. Doing a masters in comp sci and people either think I'm a baby for using mint or think I'm weird for using Linux

[tidal geyser]

Ain't that a 5090d or something

[mortal jackal]

I miss Hackintoshing (I really don't)

[hoary tree]

nope

[wheat field]

Saw one in the flesh today in Shanghai

[normal tusk]

aint got nothin to prove to nobody

[hoary tree]

Standard 5090

[tidal geyser]

Are you sure

[south arrow]

Its been appearing in a few places not sure the extent

[wheat field]

I like cinnamon 😦 it feels safe

[vivid pagoda]

😂 I used to help people hackintosh. Even Quinn’s Ryzentosh

[mortal jackal]

Use whatever suits you best. The distro wars are ridiculous.

[wheat field]

Fr

[pearl fossil]

WHAT

are u serious???????

[mortal jackal]

I last did it during the short period we had new Nvidia drivers

[vivid pagoda]

Im sober sierra on his first Ryzentosh video

😂

[pearl fossil]

oh yeah reminds me i have a 1080ti working on ventura in my main hack :3

[normal tusk]

i use fedora + gnome for my tablety 2-in-1's 'cause gnome is really just the only good option for touchscreen stuff (and i dont use linux on desktops anymore because fuck that)

[wheat field]

Do people use Linux on Mac?

[mortal jackal]

No but we use bash/zsh on mac

[vivid pagoda]

Some do… but macOS is pretty nice

[wheat field]

I use cinnamon for school because it's lightweight and runs all the programs I need pretty good

[pearl fossil]

i wish i had the budget for apple silicon

[mortal jackal]

M4 Mac Mini at $550 on sale is a damn good value

[vivid pagoda]

Get a used M1 or something. Costco has some deals on like M2 and M3 to clear out stock. They works insanely well

[mortal jackal]

I just wish it started at 512

[vivid pagoda]

256GB is just wtf

[wheat field]

M1s are still beasts

[normal tusk]

is the storage soldered

[mortal jackal]

Though the bump to 16 makes the base model good enough for the vast majority of users

[vivid pagoda]

No… but it’s paired

[mortal jackal]

It's dumb flash with the controller on the SoC

[normal tusk]

what ungodly shit did they unleash upon the world this time

[mortal jackal]

So you can't slot a regular M.2 drive in there

[grizzled elk]

typical apple BS

[dusky crest]

C'mon, make a custom thingy for it instead of it saying imac

[brave brook]

i am a weirdo who reads the manual BEFORE i even make a purchase decision, maybe with exception of phones/tablets, because there specs mostly say all there is to the device

[vivid pagoda]

Apple silicon 🤤

[mortal jackal]

Let them enjoy their Lenovo iMac smh

[vivid pagoda]

So fast

[brave brook]

TB4 or just plain old USB 3.1 10gbps storage, problem solved

[vivid pagoda]

So battery efficient as long as I’m using a browser other than anything Chromium Related!

[mortal jackal]

Fair, but it's still additional cost

and external

[vivid pagoda]

Btw. Chrome murders my MBP battery life. wtf

[brave brook]

people usually have M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs around, a 10Gbps USB caddy for either of those is sub-30 euros

[normal tusk]

its ok you dont need chrome just use safari its okay just use safari its okay

[vivid pagoda]

I use firefox and safari now.

[normal tusk]

my condolences

[vivid pagoda]

Safari is pretty nice

[wheat field]

Firefox is my go to

[velvet minnow]

hi gang, I have a micrsoft surface tablet (X86 not ARM) and sometimes the screen like bugs out for a second. Im not really sure how to describe it but like theres some artifacting for a split second and then it goes back to normal. Ive tried reinstalling graphics drivers to no avail. any tips?

[brave brook]

not defending apple, i hate that they had to make it "special" and their upgade costs are stupid, but if it is a good deal for base HW, adding <30 euros and using old SSD storage is the way to go

[wheat field]

Is it cutting in and out or actually displaying artifacts

[vivid pagoda]

I wanna get a m4 Mac mini and put a external 2TB SSD and be happy

[mortal jackal]

I have a dead OG Surface Pro in a drawer somewhere. Thing was a piece of junk.

[eternal cloak]

Though you need an adapter to add storage on the M4 yourself kek

[brave brook]

you can it even internal if you are willing to trust china/aliexpress

[vivid pagoda]

Speaking of surface… anyone knew if Jake got his stolen surface laptop back from a few years ago

[wheat field]

If it's cutting in and out I've known a few people who had the internal connection for the display come loose and it made the screen flicker.

Other than that it could be the integrated graphics failing

[brave brook]

no, just a board with the flash chips is needed, if you do it internally

[vivid pagoda]

Hmm?

[mortal jackal]

Don't you need to do some software trickery as well to get it recognized?

[wheat field]

They make bootleg ones

[brave brook]

they sell these on aliexpress

[vivid pagoda]

Hmm

[velvet minnow]

displaying

[wheat field]

They're fine, go by user reviews. Format them before actually using it

[brave brook]

just another mac to run Apple Configurator to "reflash them"

[mortal jackal]

ha

it's always another mac

[brave brook]

same as you would do in DFU mode with any iPhone/Mac with broken firmware

[vivid pagoda]

How much are they?

[wheat field]

Your integrated graphics are probably screwed. Try uninstalling the drivers completely and then install again, if that doesn't work I'm sorry man.

[brave brook]

<200 euros i think

[wheat field]

Happens sometimes, is it an older surface?

[vivid pagoda]

🧐

[brave brook]

sorry, it seems prices are higher

[wheat field]

Like 160ish eurodollars

[brave brook]

so $300 for 2TB https://expandmacmini.com/product/ssd-m4-2tb/

[velvet minnow]

yeah did that already

[wheat field]

I'm looking on taobao

[lost lance]

It works for like 3 seconds then self power offset

[velvet minnow]

DDU and all

[brave brook]

which is still way less than Apple

[lost lance]

So is it broken atp

[wheat field]

How often does it happen

[velvet minnow]

like once in a while

not frequent

[brave brook]

i had to do Apple configurator/DFU mode on an Intel Mac Mini once because update broke the firmware

[velvet minnow]

not enough for me to know and take a picture of

[wheat field]

Just live with it but your integrated graphics are beginning to go kapoot. It'll get worse

Did you drop it?

Be honest, it's ok

We all drop things

[brave brook]

seems like you can even pick between Sandisk (cheaper) and Toshiba flash chips

[eternal cloak]

No I don't
Don't ask the Z Fold 3 in my drawer, I don't drop shit

[wheat field]

👀

[lost lance]

Oh no thos is my school PC it was running off my integrated graphics for that but my main screen is using a rx 6600

[wheat field]

Lol, you should see the LCD steam deck my brother has. There's a huge chunk missing from the shell

[lost lance]

I'm just worried about I'd the crt is broke

[normal tusk]

or if you want to do some BGA soldering apparently they sell blank PCBs

[wheat field]

Not you, the other guy. Sorry I didn't mean to reply to you

[vivid pagoda]

Hmm… Toshiba

[wheat field]

Hey, I didn't reply to you.

[velvet minnow]

maybe? it has a thick case on it so i dont really remember or think about it

[mortal jackal]

I’ve dropped my Steam Deck, thankfully not from high enough to cause any damage

[lost lance]

Also is there like anyway to fix a old 2003 apple keyboard

[normal tusk]

how broken is it and in what way is it broken

[wheat field]

My brother dropped his off a low balcony and it survived. The case exploded and a bit of the shell came off but it works

[vivid pagoda]

What’s wrong with it?

[brave brook]

get a 2018 i3 mac mini from ebay for <$200, use it to flash the m4 mini, then either sell it or use it for Linux NAS (4x TB3 😄 )

[lost lance]

None of the keys work no lights come on but I can use a mouse through it

[eternal cloak]

I don't have a Deck but I immediately had my Switch shell modified so I could put a wrist strap on it

[eternal cloak]

I'm not taking chances for shit

[wheat field]

I just put my deck in its case when I'm done with it

[mortal jackal]

Sounds like the kind of thing to support by default

[normal tusk]

could be a quick cleanup, could be a quick solder touch up could be a major pain. unknown at this time.

[eternal cloak]

I do think the Switch Lite has it, I'm not sure

[mortal jackal]

Though I guess it’s heavy enough to be a tad painful

[lost lance]

We have like 30 more it's just I spent a hour cleaning it for it not to work

[wheat field]

Is anyone here actually going to buy a switch 2?

I don't see much of a point

[eternal cloak]

300 grams, not much more than a phone

[wheat field]

Prove me wrong children! Prove me wrong!

[normal tusk]

no if i buy a console itll be to play grand theft auto 6 before PC launch but that depends on how patient i am

[wheat field]

If you get that reference please let me know

[wheat field]

Same as me then

[eternal cloak]

It's prove me wrong kids, but yeah

[vivid pagoda]

Anyone seen those Chinese phones? Vivo X200 Pro and Oppo Find X8 Pro

[wheat field]

Usually he says children, dammit Seymour

[vivid pagoda]

Crazy good phones 🤤

[eternal cloak]

Nobody younger than 25 is gonna get it either way kek

[wheat field]

It's sad that classic Simpsons is a mid twenties thing now

[normal tusk]

yes they are very popular. be careful buying chinese-market phones if youre in the US though because our cellular networks will not work with some of them, different bands.

[wheat field]

Some Xiaomis do

[eternal cloak]

Ye, shows like South Park managed to stay a relevant show somehow

Probably because they don't give a fuck

[vivid pagoda]

Oh I know that. It sucks we are stuck with only one plus in North America

[wheat field]

Because they didn't neuter themselves. Classic Simpsons is so witty and smart

Today I got that Lenovo P520 and slapped my 1080 into it

[eternal cloak]

Family Guy is apparently doing pretty well as well, again, mainly because they don't give a fuck

[hexed orchid]

It has seen better days

[wheat field]

Family guy is a sad husk. The Orville is pretty good tho

McFarlane is a good writer and comic, he just got stuck in a shtick for too long

[normal tusk]

i still like family guy, good show.

[hexed orchid]

Too bad that I have that hefty door on it

[wheat field]

I only like Stewie and Brian episodes the star wars spoofs

[ocean gull]

loved The Orville

[peak knot]

hmm i wonder how this compares to my centaurhauls cpu

[wheat field]

Best star trek media we've gotten in..what? 8 years?

I had to stop watching Picard halfway through

[peak knot]

run cinebench R20 and see how it compares lol

i bet it stomps this thing

[ocean gull]

so did the people making it apparently

[wheat field]

Ba dum tiss

I actually like the first Snyder movie for what it's worth. It's not star trek rho

I often wonder what young Sheldon would think

[ocean gull]

I'm not even joking, apparently production on season 2 was only barely there

[noble harness]

How bad is it if I buy 2 16gigs of ram stick of the same brand and model instead of a kit

[ocean gull]

like just enough to run the cameras and make sure craft services is available

[wheat field]

Christ. It's amazing how they screwed up so bad that in comparison the Star Wars stuff is great

Andor was tops to be fair

[ocean gull]

S3 of Picard is so disconnected from the prior two seasons it's actually hilarious

[wheat field]

Speaking of tech and gammming what ever came of that star wars bounty hunter thing? Any good?

[wheat field]

I've heard it was bad

[ocean gull]

yea it's still not good

[unreal cradle]

Could someone smart give me some insight here, a Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X - Will it lower the Pcie x16 lane to x8 if one installs 3 m2 ssd?

[wheat field]

....no

I don't think so

Best way to find out is doing it and then telling us

[wheat field]

Yikes

[mortal jackal]

Looks like it just shares with SATA

[worldly pecan]

fuhs that

[ocean gull]

Lower Decks and Prodigy are very good, SNW is fine? Nothing offensive but it ain't doing anything we haven't seen before and still manages a few fuck ups like ||making the gorn into xenomorphs just to be edgy||

[peak knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEQAgOe9i6Y

this is my system

[wheat field]

Lower decks is good?

[worldly pecan]

no im asking fuhs cinebench 20 is that new version

[elder quarry]

Just download cinebench 20 then

[peak knot]

1, you can be a big boy and say fuck... 2. cinebench r20 came out in 2020, the number typically describes the release year

https://benchmate.org/

[worldly pecan]

i got 2024?

[peak knot]

you can download all the cpu benchmarking tools here

[ocean gull]

Lower Decks is glorious. It is a comedy show but it's made by people who actually care

[wheat field]

Based I'll watch. Who the heck made the Gorn xenomorphs?

[ocean gull]

idk I'm assuming Kurtzman walked in to the writers room drunk and coked up again and thought he had a great idea

[harsh rose]

Would a 3070ti bottleneck a 9800x3d at 1080p

[carmine yew]

yes

[wheat field]

Correct me if I'm wrong but they were semi advanced originally?

They worse clothes so they had some primitive society at least

[harsh rose]

How bad

[wheat field]

They wore

[carmine yew]

pretty damned bad

[frosty rain]

Hello. im using ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3080ti, what kind of cpu upgrade would be good ? ryzen 7 5700x3d ? or ryzen 9 5900x

[carmine yew]

gaming or productivity?

[wheat field]

Ya

[ocean gull]

they still have spaceships and all that but now their reproductive cycle involves chest bursters

[frosty rain]

gaming

[wheat field]

That's dumb

[carmine yew]

5700x3d

[wheat field]

Is strange new worlds any good?

[carmine yew]

Star Trek SNW? Yes

[ocean gull]

it's mostly fun

[frosty rain]

it will be good combo with rtx 3080ti ?

[carmine yew]

you'll want to watch Discovery + SNW + Lower Decks, since there is overlap

[carmine yew]

the best you'll get on AM4

[wheat field]

Xenomorph gorn sounds dumb. Is there any good diplomacy or is it dumb fun

[wheat field]

Not finishing discovery, what a trainwreck. I'll watch lower decks

[frosty rain]

i think it will be inaf to buy 5700x3d yea ? for some time i dont need to go to am5

[carmine yew]

yes, the 5700x3d is really good. Typically on par with a 7600X

[ocean gull]

Lower Decks and SNW do have a crossover episode and it's really good

[trim idol]

SO GOOD

[carmine yew]

If anyone hasn't seen it: Watch "Orville"
it's Star Trek, but probably better.

[ocean gull]

I watched it multiple times cause I was flabbergasted at how great it is

[trim idol]

I love that the voice actors did their real characters

[ocean gull]

And yeah The Orville ruled. I'm glad they got to do a proper finale in S3 and didn't just get axed. I know some people grumbled about some of the early jokes but I'm a sailor and the "soda on the bridge" question is shit I actually hear at work so I was hooked out the gate

[ocean gull]

Jack Quaid escaped from toon town or some shit, dude physically matched the animated version so well

the little goofy Boimler walk

[hoary tree]

damn

[trim idol]

1000%

[hexed tapir]

Just get arctic fans

[ocean gull]

the BTS stories on that episode are fun too cause the regular cast are used to their Very Serious productions and were not ready at all for two improv chaos agents to show up

[hoary tree]

DAMN

[ocean gull]

abandon AIOs, return to air

[hoary tree]

That's like, the same price as the 240MM non A-RGB one

can someone help me?

@mortal jackalThnx! Thought so too just wanted another opinion

[dim patio]

[fresh escarp]

My dad picked up from parcel my dream gpu i got for my bday on 23rd c:

[inland cove]

thats cool

[random gyro]

WOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[wheat field]

We were saying

[granite sundial]

colours look washed out on my hdr display with sdr content (auto hdr on)

[wheat field]

Eat it

[hexed orchid]

Not great not terrible :p

I am looking forward to that w 2135

[granite sundial]

its weird it looks way different when i toggle hdr on/off even when its the desktop

it shouldnt look any different nothing in hdr is on the screen

[odd marsh]

Nah that is just how windows hdr kinda is

[granite sundial]

do i leave hdr on all the time or what

[odd marsh]

I do yeah

[granite sundial]

just turn sdr brightness down?

[odd marsh]

No reason for me to not have HDR on my monitor

[granite sundial]

wait what changing sdr brightness only affects the taskbar

[fresh escarp]

Ay thanks, much love

[granite sundial]

oh it does affect the video just not the youtube title and all that stuff

[fresh escarp]

Gf is making a cake in the kitchen :)

[left dove]

ok but brownies

[fresh escarp]

I assume that gpu with display port will be able to have full use of 1440p@165hz monitor? xd

[fresh escarp]

hmmm

[granite sundial]

what sdr brightness do u use ? monitor is set to dark in dolbyvision

[dusky crest]

I sure love chatgpt

[odd marsh]

Usually just turn it all the way down, what monitor do you have btw

[granite sundial]

aw3225qf

i cant tell if its undersatured or im just used to wonky colours from my old cheap lcd

blacks look inky dont have the grey tint they do on the old one

[odd marsh]

I am in my other OS rn so I don't have HDR on and doing some testing

Have you done the windows HDR calibration tool yet

[granite sundial]

no i just upgraded to windows 11

[odd marsh]

Do the windows 11 hdr calibration it helps a lot, search it up in the microsoft store

[elder quarry]

Hah

[lethal bay]

fuck HDR give me my oversaturated bullshit colors

[granite sundial]

i dont get why windows puts all this hdr support in and then doesnt bother to make the GUI in hdr

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585

[granite sundial]

pattern doesnt disappear until i drag it to literally 0 thats good right

[odd marsh]

Yeah, I typically do it right before it disappears

[granite sundial]

it says to have it completely disappear

the mode ive got it in peak brightness is only 500 nits

[odd marsh]

🤷 that’s the way I do it, helps more for the brightness so you don’t have overblown highlights

[granite sundial]

so like peak brightness 500 i drag it to 490?

[odd marsh]

Yuh

[granite sundial]

should i switch it to peak 1000 nit mode

or is 500 nit better

i thought true black was 400 peak

[odd marsh]

I run mine in the 1000 nit mode

[granite sundial]

cuz i remember reviews saying its not a particularly bright display

[mortal mantle]

why did I not see the popup for From Shadows into Light

[granite sundial]

yeah seems in this mode full display and detail brightness is both capped at 500 nits

[odd marsh]

I don’t have the exact same monitor but I’ve got an OLED and I prefer the 1000 nit mode as it makes the highlights way more impressive

[granite sundial]

idk what saturation to do

[granite sundial]

is it qd-oled?

[odd marsh]

Yes

[granite sundial]

idk peak brightness it just says dolby vision dark game bright

[odd marsh]

Yeah not familiar with your monitor, I would check rtings.com usually they have a calibration or setup for monitors that are pretty good

[random gyro]

Is W OLED bad

[granite sundial]

profile is creator in dci-p3 with gamma at 2.6

[odd marsh]

WOLED? No

[limpid dune]

I just don't like that Snipping Tool will give you a flashbanged screenshot if you use HDR, UNLESS you turn on the "correct colours for HDR content" setting, which is like. why wouldn't I have that i the first place

[random gyro]

I'm trying to decide between the two rog swifts and one has that and the other is a diff type of OLED

[random gyro]

Oh Oki, I'm not sure which would be better

[granite sundial]

QDOLED has much better colours but isnt as bright

[odd marsh]

both will be a good experience, get whichever is cheaper

[random gyro]

Same price for me

[odd marsh]

Newer WOLED panels are getting much better with colors

[random gyro]

I have the Neo g9 currently but don't like it very much

[odd marsh]

I would prob get WOLED

[granite sundial]

what saturation did u use in the tool

[random gyro]

Hmm Oki

Hopefully I like it

[granite sundial]

its not a specific guide for my monitor just for any monitor right

[odd marsh]

Slid it almost all the way to the left

[odd marsh]

Search up your monitor, maybe they have it

[granite sundial]

also apparently v-sync/g-sync is good now?

[carmine yew]

it was never bad

It's just not always perfect, depending on what you want / need

[granite sundial]

oh wow thats a big difference (probably wont display properly cuz discord compression

yeah the sun is annihilated in both of them

after calibration brightness on the sun is way better

compression makes it look even worse actually

even before calibration wasnt that bad

also im surprised ltt videos arent in hdr

[short bough]

Hiii, i got a super annoying pc problem, looking for someone who knows about this stuff. I buildt my own custom pc and hand picked all the compenents. But when i finally building and needed to set up my pc, i couldnt find my ssd to make it the default driver. After like 6 hours i had to settle with my hdd being the default one. Is any way for me to change this? Since my pc bootup is sooo slow when its supposed to be good enough for most mainstream high demanding games.

[odd marsh]

they used to, but mastering HDR content is hard

[granite sundial]

yeah i guess

they realised 8k and 12k cameras probably werent necessary

theyre back to more normal 4k prosumer ones

[true stirrup]

Did you install windows onto the SSD?

[short bough]

i tried but my pc just coudlnt find it. It only found my hdd

[granite sundial]

a colirmeter is expensive right

measures colours

[short bough]

had to do so much bs in command promt and it found my hdd after 6 hours of trying

[short bough]

but not my ssd

[granite sundial]

everything looks like it has a blue tint now 😭

is this just what dci-p3 is like

[odd marsh]

No

[true stirrup]

In windows installation media setup?

[granite sundial]

the guide i was following recommended 2.6 gamma but that seems really high

[odd marsh]

The rtings or what?

[granite sundial]

rtings didnt have a specific guide only for all monitors atleast that i can find

[odd marsh]

rtings will have an ICC profile to download and use, usually you can read the article and see what settings/modes they use

[granite sundial]

idk how im meant to verify colour accuracy without a reference

i dont think i can set colour temperature manually

[vapid ibex]

Breaking news: a raging viper just joined say hi!

tbf you can go on the icc website and get a large pac oc icc files that you can use instead, as rtings just uses the adobe srgb.icc file

[vast onyx]

i did that for him but the pc is still red

the light

[tidal geyser]

At that point would it even be worth it to get the 5080 or am I just buying a few more frames. I just game

[vast onyx]

[pearl fossil]

sorry for replying this late but i don't live in the us anymore so i can't lol

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

o wow thats a pc

[tidal geyser]

cpu?

[vast onyx]

[pearl fossil]

i'm either gonna try to get a new motherboard or i'm getting a 2011 imac and upgrading the cpu with the one from this pc

[inland raven]

anyone here got an academic email and can help me access a white paper with it?

[pearl fossil]

it's a top of the line i7 from 2011

[tidal geyser]

welpi would first ofc turn off the pc then unplug it then take out both sticks and put the stick in slot 2 in slot 4 and then slot 4 stick in slot 2 then plug the pc back in and turn it on

[tidal geyser]

what cpu is in the pc

[vast onyx]

lemme check rq 1 sec

[tidal geyser]

Apu

Npu

[true stirrup]

I do but no idea if I can access what ever you are referring to

[vast onyx]

wdym by the last part " slot 4 and then slot 4 stick in slot 2 " mb just confused me

[tidal geyser]

Swapsies

[vast onyx]

whats swapsies

[pearl fossil]

i'm wondering if i could add an rtc chip to a bootleg gameboy cartridge...

[tidal geyser]

The ram stick in slot 2 goes into slot 4 and the stick that was in slot 4 goes into 2

[vast onyx]

i alr did that

still didnt work

i did it before it didnt work tho

just was confused on what u meant

@tidal geyser

?

[tidal geyser]

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

[vast onyx]

what that mean'

the pc is turning on but aint booting up

like wont even load into bios or nun

[tidal geyser]

Good thing you do not need the pc on to clear the cmos

[vast onyx]

mb im new to this

[inland raven]

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00034-025-02995-0

[tidal geyser]

If that does not work reseat the cpu aka take it out then put it back in

[inland raven]

if anyone else here is reading please if you have academic email im in dire need of that paper for work

[inland raven]

omg

legend man thanks really thats real cool ❤️

[true stirrup]

No problem 👍

[vast onyx]

@tidal geyser so basically what happened is the person pc im tryna fix removed the cmos battery then put it back in after like 10 seconds and isnt booting up idk if its the case bc he said before it wouldnt boot up either

[tidal geyser]

Welp reseat cpu

[ebon spire]

The upgrades have arrivedddd

[tidal geyser]

What was the old cpu

[ebon spire]

3900X

[tidal geyser]

What applications do you use

[ebon spire]

Going up to a 5950X

[true stirrup]

Holy overkill cooler

[vast onyx]

i was having trouble finding the pc info like the gpu cpu since the pc isnt booting up but i found some old photos he took of the info

[tidal geyser]

Ehh it's a 5950x

[ebon spire]

Unity, Substance Painter, a lot of gaming, gimp, Davinci Resolve/FilmoraX (depending on the project I'm working on), thats it off the top of my head, other then all the shit I've gotta use for work

but the work stuff is mostly like Jabber and browser based

[tidal geyser]

Why not the 5700x3d?

[vast onyx]

ill send u it one sec

[tidal geyser]

So it just stopped working one day

[tidal geyser]

O well the 5950x will be a big upgrade

[ebon spire]

Lack of availability mostly

[vast onyx]

when he tried to change the ram it stopped workin after

[charred mulch]

does anyone know what brand of gpu this is? it's a 1660 super btw

[tidal geyser]

How hard did he push the ram in?

[vast onyx]

all the way in

[tidal geyser]

Did he try to put the old ram in?

[vast onyx]

yeah and after it didnt work either

[tidal geyser]

Looks like some hp or something

[vast onyx]

like the pc wouldnt boot up

[tidal geyser]

But brand does not matter

[charred mulch]

ok thanks

[tidal geyser]

Try to only have a ram stick in slot 2

[vast onyx]

just slot 2?

not slot 4?

[tidal geyser]

I was almost right

[tidal geyser]

Yus

[vast onyx]

he said he did that already

[tidal geyser]

Do it with the working sticks

[vast onyx]

wym the new ones old one dont work

[vast onyx]

^

[vast onyx]

^

[tidal geyser]

Well the old ones at least we know worked at some point

[vast onyx]

yeah

[gleaming rose]

day 1 of raphtalia posting

[tidal geyser]

So trying just one stick of the old ones will mean we do not need to worry about as many things

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rising-of-the-shield-hero-tate-no-yuusha-no-nariagari-anime-naofumi-iwatani-raphchan-gif-25871318

[tidal geyser]

Try in only slot 4

[gleaming rose]

RAPH CHAN

[vast onyx]

alr

quick question tho

he needs 16 ram to run fivem

if only one is in slot 4 would that work

[tidal geyser]

No

[vast onyx]

pretty sure it ownt

[charred mulch]

are all gpus on pcpartpicker?

[tidal geyser]

He does not need 16gigs for fivem

[vast onyx]

but he said he ddint remove the cmos battery at 1 point

[gleaming rose]

pretty much

[tidal geyser]

Eh not really but there are clods of that one on I t

[tidal geyser]

Just do a old stick in slot 4

If that does not work move it to slot 3

[random gyro]

salutations everyone

[gleaming rose]

hai vy

[tidal geyser]

And ofc under all of this ALWAYS have the pc off and unplugged when taking out parts

[abstract wigeon]

75hz monitor looks a lot smoother at 60hz than 75hz why could this be?

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/kazuma-sato-konosuba-smile-smirk-anime-gif-16686762

[tidal geyser]

No shit

It's 25% faster

Math is fun

[random gyro]

maybe because its 15hz faster idk tho

[abstract wigeon]

??

youve both misread my statment

it looks better at 60

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

Probs some profile then

[tidal geyser]

What?

[random gyro]

because you arent listening to youngboy or watching lebron play basketball

[vast onyx]

is it anything wrong with it?

[random gyro]

can you stop spamming ur pc pics

[vast onyx]

alr sorry

[random gyro]

its so pretty

It might be changing to faster pixel speeds or something making it ghost way worse

I think you have sent the same pic like 4 times now

I mean compared to the cooler thats in it now which is a Halo 212 from Cooler Master lol id say the overkill wasn't a bad idea lol

[vast onyx]

It’s still red when it turns on the DRAM

[empty quartz]

Not enough rgb /j

[tidal geyser]

No shit it's the old pics

[true stirrup]

I mean if you have the money overkill is never bad lol

[ebon spire]

I mean it was like 90 bucks its a thermalright cooler so its not like it was huge money

Though idk why i bought 2 3 packs of fans, like one is going to replace my NZXT case fan that came with the case and then I'll just have like 2 spares lol

[random gyro]

haii

[true stirrup]

Ah yeah that's not that bad

[empty quartz]

Hai

[random gyro]

daily reminder that yb the best rapper OAT

[ebon spire]

Kinda nervous to install it later though because Ive never installed an AIO with a screen before lol

[vast onyx]

how much ram u neeed to run fivem?

[tidal geyser]

Probs at least 8GB

[frail topaz]

tmr im gonna get 100$ from selling my nintendo and i only need $240 to hit my goal of 800 for a new pc (my parents are also putting 800)

[abstract wigeon]

not even worth for msrp just get a 4080super off ebay

[true stirrup]

The first 5090 just hit the used market here

[median warren]

4080 super ftw

[frail topaz]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7jzDQd

i dont need THAT good of a gpu. im mostly doing cpu intensive things

so a 7900xtx wil be fine plus i only have 1600$ of budget

[tidal geyser]

Where

[frail topaz]

i wanted a 4070ti super but theres none that are like 850, 900

[tidal geyser]

And costs even at msrp a bit more by 100$ too at a minimum

[tidal geyser]

There I's the 5070 ti

[frail topaz]

i mean will there be stock till july

[tidal geyser]

So is the xtx

Most games still have no support for it

[frail topaz]

this pc is going to have all new parts i do not care

[tidal geyser]

What??

[true stirrup]

Camp out before a Walmart/Microcenter

[frail topaz]

except for the fact that im approximately 10000km away

[tidal geyser]

Like

But way less vram and no stock

[frail topaz]

too much?? im not spending that much on a gpu lol

[tidal geyser]

Also the small thing about it costing way way more

[frail topaz]

and that leaves me 600$ for other things

[tidal geyser]

Exactly

[frail topaz]

yeah but im still over budget

[tidal geyser]

Find me a 1k 5080

[true stirrup]

Judging by their description there definitely isn't any for MSRP in stock

[tidal geyser]

Yeah?

Buy today or wait months and months just to hope to get a gpu for cheaper and the way it's looking he ain't getting the 5080 close to stock

[true stirrup]

It's obviously a placeholder since he isn't from the USA

[frail topaz]

if im getting a 50 series im probably getting a 5070ti super

[ebon spire]

Id reccomend 16 but 8 is probably doable but not ideal

[tidal geyser]

Rtx 5000 series is such a clusterruxj

Wo much time and effort for less vram and in the case of the 5070 ti less performance

[frail topaz]

storage, cpu, motherboard. things i actually need

[tidal geyser]

Car
House
Food

[tidal geyser]

Or those boring this

[frail topaz]

ideally i would go for a ryzen 9 because im a sucker for cores even tho they arent getting used... sighs

in minecraft???

[iron glen]

i think Harry or whatever i named it has migrated

[tidal geyser]

Well yeah it costs a lot more ans again most games have zero support for rt and the ones that do it tends to not look too good, there are good rt games but not enough yet to justify going team green purely for that

[iron glen]

my room is missing a moth

[tidal geyser]

9% uplift over what

[frail topaz]

im likely still going nvidia anyway, because ive used them for a lifetime now and no issues so far, ill see how it comes along and if i get a nvidia card im probably not gonna go for the 5080 because i reckon its not gonna be at MSRP for at least the rest of the year, im probably gonna for the 5070ti which is more compatible in my budget

🧑‍🍳

nah shes a fire card

runs GTAV at 60 smoothly

[tidal geyser]

The gpu with 8GB less vram that costs more

[true stirrup]

Me 1 year ago

[frail topaz]

this is prolly gonna go in my server for transcoding once i build it

[tidal geyser]

He is not just going to play a game also java can't really use tensor cores

a

As in one

[frail topaz]

yeah no not just one game, as follows:

• GTAV
• Minecraft
• GTAVI (hopefully)
• Assetto Corsa
• Gran Turismo 7 (if it comes to PC)
• Forza horizon 5

i mean some people make them not to build games just for productivity

[true stirrup]

Java can be used for anything
But in the concept of Minecraft I don't think anyone has done that yet

[broken perch]

Stupid ass black screen trying to install the latest nvidia driver. I give up. Im never moving off of 566.36

[tidal geyser]

Well yeah we were talking about java mine raft

[frail topaz]

i would also like to run some AI models but thats not a requirement

[tidal geyser]

I do that with my amd gpu

[dapper light]

VRAM is paramount, but 12G is enough for most fun ones

[dapper light]

Performs like ass compared to the NV equivalent priced card

[tidal geyser]

Still fast enough

[dapper light]

A fkin B580 is literally faster than XTX in AI it's that bad

[tidal geyser]

Up to the model up to the support

[dapper light]

And most happens to use PyTorch CUDA

Then there's also specific speed ups like TensorRT

If you are planning to use AI model in any large capacity absolutely do not get AMD

[frail topaz]

id also like to use this https://modrinth.com/mod/nvidium

[dapper light]

It's either stupid slow, painful to install, or both

[frail topaz]

amd is not shit lol

maybe the very high end ones no, but the mid ends are really good for the price

[dapper light]

It's only worth if you're willing to sacrifice anything that isn't raster
And it's more than 30% cheaper the nearest nv equivalent

[tidal geyser]

What is that take

[dapper light]

2000 series isn't much better

[tidal geyser]

What can a rtx gpu do for gaming a amd gpu can't

[balmy tapir]

5600xt ❤️

[dapper light]

Turing doesn't get many of the good stuff

I'm saying it doesn't matter if 2000 has RTX name

[tidal geyser]

If you are gaming above 1080p but then you would need more then 8GB of vram anyways and dlss does not make that meed smaller

Have you seen the prices in the us?

[frail topaz]

should have bought the 4070ti super when it was 850should have bought the 4070ti super when it was 850should have bought the 4070ti super when it was 850should have bought the 4070ti super when it was 850

FUCK me in the ASSHOLE

[balmy tapir]

i game at 1440p with 6gb vram 💪💪💪

[frail topaz]

im such a dumbass

[tidal geyser]

What game

[frail topaz]

wtv 5070ti here i come

[balmy tapir]

lots but the hardest to run is probably tarkov lol

[tidal geyser]

Texture compression

[balmy tapir]

i do not

who said i have low fps

[verbal pewter]

Quick question, i have a tplink extender set up as an access point and set the ssid and passwords to be the same as the main wifi. Will my Devices seemlessly connect to each wifi? Is there an issue with both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi being named the same?

[tidal geyser]

It will be horrible

[verbal pewter]

Also, can i make the extender hide the ssid and still have seemless transitions?

[tidal geyser]

It will connect when one is out of range but many factors a massive one being its not made to he a mesh system making it just horrible

[balmy tapir]

that's because it's the most intensive game i play right now lol, doesn't mean i get poor fps

[frail topaz]

thats 1,641.91 United States DOllar

[tidal geyser]

In a mesh system you cab

[dapper light]

Most likely not a mesh

So no you have to manually change

[frail topaz]

nope

[dapper light]

It will only do it automatically if one drops out entirely

[frail topaz]

but i do have many people and i can go there in approximately an hour

so practically yes

[empty quartz]

Look at this big baby

[frail topaz]

the dawg

[tidal geyser]

Some can kinda chose the fastest location but it can still be a bit wonky but ofc needs to be a mesh system made to be a mesh system

[novel robin]

Does the 3090 cost that much used?

[empty quartz]

This mofo is afraid of mice

[frail topaz]

my parents have visited turkey before but in like 2007

[frail topaz]

lol what

[tidal geyser]

No

[dapper light]

Intelligent wifi usually only switch when your screen is off
At least my samsung does that

[frail topaz]

come to albania and get one theyre $500 here

[novel robin]

Okey thanks

[novel robin]

At least we are close 😂

[tidal geyser]

3090 prices are horrible

[dapper light]

Wtf that's a good deal

[novel robin]

Okey Neighbor

[dapper light]

They're selling them for 700 here

[novel robin]

Nice

[frail topaz]

here's another for ALL44000

[dapper light]

Unfair I've been wanting one since my 3080ti only got 12G

[novel robin]

Damn

[frail topaz]

hers a FE for 500 spot on

maybe 520 in USD

[novel robin]

Worth the 9 hours drive?😂🥹😭

[random gyro]

Ambient music 😭

[frail topaz]

Athens?

[novel robin]

Yes

[frail topaz]

nice ive been there

[novel robin]

Nice

[frail topaz]

im mainly around kastoria, ioannina, thessaloniki tho

and kalkidiki or somewhere around that for holiday/vacation

[novel robin]

I am originally from Ioannina.

[iron glen]

i've only been at the athens airport, it was not a great first impression

[novel robin]

And Crete

[iron glen]

i <3 crete

[novel robin]

Two oppositive sides of Greece

[frail topaz]

never been to crete, want to go tho

[iron glen]

if you plan on going outside of the cities then i'd suggest watching your step

[frail topaz]

been warned of that already dw

[iron glen]

alot of goats on Crete for some reason

[frail topaz]

ouuhuhhh i want this so bad

[novel robin]

Yeah on the mountains

Mostly

What the heck is even that

[iron glen]

they were around the beaches too, atleast the ones i went to

[frail topaz]

quad cpu LGA2011-3 supermicro server board

[iron glen]

definitely not as much tho

[novel robin]

Quad cpu?🥹

[frail topaz]

if you put in 4 E7-8890V4's that would be 96 cores and 192 threads

[novel robin]

I have an almost cpu 🥹

Any suggestions for used cpu? Around 200-250€

[frail topaz]

what socket

this is what im running rn

[novel robin]

Right now I have 1151 but I also have a motherboard lga1200

[frail topaz]

ah lga1151

[novel robin]

I have an I5 7400 pair with GTX 1060

Cpu bottleneck as heck

[frail topaz]

maybe for the 1200 build you can check the uhh

i7-10700K or the i5-11600K?

if im not wrong they started using LGA1700 with 12th gen so 11th gen i5 should still work with LGA1200

i am in fact correct

[novel robin]

I found one for 190€

And the i5 11600k for 120

[frail topaz]

well since theyre so cheap over there check the i9-11900K

[quick hamlet]

do u guys change the ethernet setting from windows when u setup a new pc/laptop

[wheat torrent]

I dont

[frail topaz]

pardon? what ethernet setting

[novel robin]

I found one for 150€ but... something fishy

[frail topaz]

weird

thats quite an expensive cpu

[wheat torrent]

Fishy business 🐟

Me

[quick hamlet]

these thing

[wheat torrent]

Why?

[frail topaz]

no? why would you.

[odd marsh]

really should never touch this

[quick hamlet]

idk just asking

[wheat torrent]

Its advanced settings

[novel robin]

Yeah 600€ new

[quick hamlet]

well now i know this changing bad

[wheat torrent]

Meaning its for advanced users

[clear spruce]

how do i write zips onto a dvd?

[frail topaz]

okay then uhh check the i9-10900k

[wheat torrent]

Bro using dvds

[frail topaz]

just why

[clear spruce]

?

[quick hamlet]

the wifi is bad here so i use my laptop as a hotspot so i used to closs the checksum offroad so net doesnt randomly go

[frail topaz]

why????

[clear spruce]

cause i need the file on another laptop

[frail topaz]

usb drive??

[clear spruce]

but the laptop cant see external drives

[frail topaz]

so you resorted to a DVD
