[chilly sage]

I did some updates on my setup

[true stirrup]

That is very true

[stoic nova]

Amazon sold and ship 9800x3Ds recently with a 2 month lead time

That's a preorder to me

[cinder raptor]

Close your scissors

[bleak granite]

Is it bad idea to go with 9070xt if i play at 4k

[chilly sage]

nah

[hybrid acorn]

How many years before this thing becomes a normal price

[tidal geyser]

i think your cooler costs more then your gpu

[chilly sage]

i bought that cooler for 50$

[tidal geyser]

what gpu is that

[chilly sage]

3050 6gb i just use emulation

[neat flame]

at least 6-7

[tidal geyser]

knew it

[stoic nova]

Facebook marketplace bartering go hard

[neat flame]

probably even more

[glad fog]

feels to me you'd be on the edge playing 4k with the 9070 xt.

[hybrid acorn]

I'll stick to my dual e5 2680v4s then

[steel umbra]

xeon xeon

give

[hybrid acorn]

€15 CPU on AliExpress

[chilly sage]

the one wire going up is for vr

[bleak granite]

Yea without upscaling i would be playing average 60fps

[stoic nova]

If you're pulling ab 45 frames in like...ghosts of tsushima of God of war you can totally framegen for an awesome 4k experience

[hybrid acorn]

The coolers I got for them cost more

[stoic nova]

Gotta wait and see

[latent pagoda]

never bro

[hybrid acorn]

I mean you can pick up multi thousand dollar msrp CPUs nowadays for nothing just because they're like 10 years old

[chilly sage]

that corsair capellix or whaTever was only 50$ robbed that amish man blind

[hybrid acorn]

Never say never I guess

[latent pagoda]

im getting dual EPYC Rome CPUs, motherboard is $700 but the CPUs are like $250 a peice 😭

[latent pagoda]

yea but its 192 cores, so its still gonna be like 1000+ in 6 years

[stoic nova]

What are you doing as someone in this discord that can leverage anything more than the (x)950x cpus can do

[steel umbra]

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006200653459.html? please do not buy this paste, it is a counterfeit from my testing, not the real tc-5888 deal.

[hybrid acorn]

I've been thinking on whether or not to go to epyc Milan or Xeon platnium as future upgrade paths

[steel umbra]

i also got refunded so the seller is aware

[lapis condor]

Why

[latent pagoda]

building server stuff for a HPC club, gonna put in a ton of GPUs since it has a lot of PCIE lanes

[stoic nova]

Sounds like a config and troubleshooting nightmare before you even got external devices to worry about

[latent pagoda]

our current CPU compute is quad core Xeons runnning DDR2 so we are due for an update 😭 .

[stoic nova]

Good luck. Not the place for a realistic consolidation though

[latent pagoda]

tell me about it

[bleak granite]

Yea and i dont really play that demanding games because i usually play War Thunder and from time to time some AAA games but not that much

[neat flame]

wow thats quite old

[hybrid acorn]

I feel like anything that's easy to fake you shouldnt buy on AliExpress and anything that isn't easy to fake you should, buy an old cpu or stick of ram off them but don't buy storage or stuff like paste

[bleak granite]

And i dont care if im going to use all the upscaling and AI fps crap. I will take all the advantage i can get to have more fps

[latent pagoda]

yea, its mainly about future scalability more than consolidation, the PCIE lanes 4.0 that epyc has allows us to buy more GPUs semester over semester, we are banned from buying Ebay tho so it makes buying things difficult with our limited budget :/

[hybrid acorn]

Huh? Why

[latent pagoda]

tax exemptions, validity of buyers, etc. etc.

its under a university so its their money

[neat flame]

why banned from ebay

[hybrid acorn]

Uni wants to spend more I guess sure

[stoic nova]

I wish I could say more that would be helpful to you. I'm far more familiar with system arrays not....the entire array is a system.

[hybrid acorn]

eBay has better return safety nets in place than like most online retailers

[steel umbra]

i mean it was reasonably priced, not too good to be true per gram and it is manufactured in china so…

[hybrid acorn]

Ordered a k4000 and didn't receive it, got a refund no problemo

[latent pagoda]

we are running a server with 3x 3090s, one with 4 Titan XPs, the old Xeon computes, as well as a server that does backups and one that does NFS

so adding in the EPYC would give us more compute/GPU headroom

[storm jasper]

On a scale from 1-10 how bottlenecked will al RX 7800 XT get paired with a Ryzen 5 7600

[hybrid acorn]

What does your hpc do

[hybrid acorn]

What resolution

[still valve]

My trusty neodymium magnet w all my necessary screws...anyone else have something similar to this?

[neat flame]

what bottleneck bro

[storm jasper]

1440p

[hybrid acorn]

None

[neat flame]

no its perfectly fine

[storm jasper]

Great, thanks

[latent pagoda]

research mainly, HPC workloads (simulations, rendering,etc.). No hypervisor

[stoic nova]

You doing VFIO things or yea

[turbid folio]

why is part of my geforce experience in chinese

[stoic nova]

Even more outside my wheelhouse

[hybrid acorn]

Pretty fun, only interesting part tech wise in my uni is that we have insanely fast wifi

[latent pagoda]

no vm's no, direct shell

[steel umbra]

it’s good to know what is counterfeit/fake and what isn’t, because there are some awesome TIM from china such as putties

[stoic nova]

Sounds like you pull some really funny hashrate numbers

[latent pagoda]

we ... do not. Speeds are frequently 100 mbps per second max, more like 20 on the regular. Servers are connected with 1gbps link

[north needle]

idle temps, am i cooked?

[hybrid acorn]

I think our uni has like 300 to I've seen 800 mbps

[stoic nova]

Ice cold

[latent pagoda]

no mining allowed for us, so i havent taken a look into the hashrate

[tidal geyser]

its a laptop meant to do that

[north needle]

certainly feels like it

[latent pagoda]

bro where do u go I would kill for that 😭

[north needle]

man ik but like DAMN

[hybrid acorn]

Wifi is locked down but some students just vpn on to download steam games in minutes

[tidal geyser]

modern stuff can take it

[steel umbra]

utp-8 is a pretty good putty, i’d just ditch pads personally

as it performs better than 98% pads on the market

[stoic nova]

Y'all use windows and got "student share" drives?

[latent pagoda]

dude thats awesome, those wireless speeds are crazy

[hybrid acorn]

Not familiar with that

[serene atlas]

Is it true that multi frame gen is now coming to 40 series gpus? I saw it on a Zach’s tech turf video and idk if it’s true or not

[hybrid acorn]

They have an ap in every room iirc

[north needle]

wont the thermal paste be dried out after a while?

[hybrid acorn]

2.5gig to each ap

[gloomy sleet]

no

[latent pagoda]

dude that so awesome

[neat flame]

wouldnt trust ztt

[tidal geyser]

a lot of em are now using LM or PTM

[carmine yew]

non-shit-tier paste lasts several years

[north needle]

my school has 500 mbps but all the pcs in our lab is so outdated that they only have 100 mbps network cards

[hybrid acorn]

Hopefully we get to mess around with that stuff in my CE course

[latent pagoda]

DLSS 4.0 is coming, so the DLSS itself is getting imporvements, but the MFG is exclusive to the 50 series

[north needle]

fair enough

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[stoic nova]

GN videos don't appeal to the....entry level users

[hybrid acorn]

Every PC here has to be connected via Ethernet

[latent pagoda]

100 mbps nics are crazy

[north needle]

nah im talking about ethernet

[hybrid acorn]

Wowie that's not fast

[north needle]

they dont have wifi

[tidal geyser]

xd

[hybrid acorn]

All of ours are gigabit

[north needle]

there are like 30 pcs and only one of them has a gigabit card

[carmine yew]

you can't set up an enterprise network for that many computers and rely on wifi
it literally can't work

[hybrid acorn]

The PCs here are all various stages of age, some super old workstations and then some brand new 40 series optiplexes and core ultra all in ones

[north needle]

this is india btw and network is dirt cheap

[latent pagoda]

running enterprise network on wifi would be so scuffed

[stoic nova]

Can't even begin to imagine with every iPhone randomizing mac by default

[latent pagoda]

i think the newest we got here is 10th gen i7, oldest is like 4th gen i5 or somethin

[latent pagoda]

how to max out your DHCP ranges 101 lol

[north needle]

oldest is like some shit tier celeron and newest is a 4th gen i3 here

[hybrid acorn]

Yeah we have some 13th gen 40 series optiplexes in the room people use for game dev

A lot of 4th to 10th gen usually

[north needle]

most of the pcs are celerons and pentiums

[latent pagoda]

thats cooked rip

[hybrid acorn]

A couple very new all in ones

In some exam/lecture thingy room

Dell has a choke hold on literally every Irish university

[north needle]

most of the pcs here are custom built

i saw like a hoard of h310m motherboard boxes in a shelf in there

and most pcs also have only 2 gb of ram (on windows 10)

[hybrid acorn]

For all the new tech they sure use some shitty kvms over here tho

A lot of them don't like outputting the right res

[latent pagoda]

having a kvm must be nice tho

[hybrid acorn]

You need them when we do network labs

We have a networked PC we use for the work and a non networked PC for Cisco stuff and putty

Link the router and switch to the non networked one

[latent pagoda]

ooo nice, must be cool to play with the actual hardware rather than in vm's

[plucky frost]

does anyone know why my pc boots so slow? like 55seconds, i have updated windows and bios, its windows 11, i7 14700k ddr4 ram, nvme m.2 ssd

[hybrid acorn]

We usually use packet tracer but going hands on with the hardware is always nice

[latent pagoda]

check if you have fast boot enabled

[hybrid acorn]

Oldie but goodie Cisco routers and switches

[latent pagoda]

packet tracer labs here are so cooked, they suck

[plucky frost]

is that in bios or windows settings?

[latent pagoda]

windows im pretty sure

[stoic nova]

Bof

[devout oxide]

Is jelly fin commonly supported by tvs

[plucky frost]

its on

[north needle]

yes

[latent pagoda]

ok, unsure past that point, look in your BIOS to your boot options. There may be a fast boot option, or it is possilbe that your BIOS is cycling through other drives to boot to those first instead of your OS. Dont bork your BIOS

[hybrid acorn]

They're always a little tedious

[stoic nova]

Ain't the same as plugging a serial in

[devout oxide]

Is jelly fin any rougher on the internet then just regular streaming

[stoic nova]

in LAN? Nah.

Better than anything else you could stream from for sure

[devout oxide]

Even if I have multiple streams at once?

[stoic nova]

Irrelevant really

[devout oxide]

Ok

[elder quarry]

Jellyfin probably has higher quality than normal streaming services like Netflix.

[viscid helm]

interesting CPU and memory usage

[stoic nova]

Show processes don't be shy

Scared?

I'll go first

[viscid helm]

how is that your CPU is at 0%

[stoic nova]

I'm a huge nerd.

[north needle]

:D

[viscid helm]

nothing special in here

[stoic nova]

Everything taking your ram is fine. Why you using a backup manager?

This a work machine?

[viscid helm]

yes, you mean acronis?

[stoic nova]

Yeah. I'm very not fond of image backups

[viscid helm]

it automatically back ups data to NAS on schedule

[stoic nova]

For personal desktops anyway

[viscid helm]

it saved me 3 times and backups always worked

[stoic nova]

I'm glad

[viscid helm]

however I've seen people complain about backups not being recovered sometimes

but it's the case with every app I've seen

[stoic nova]

You're not using the image snapshots right?

You specified data

[viscid helm]

I use folder backups in most cases and for 2 drives I use full backup

[stoic nova]

Whew.

Alright judgement over.

You cool.

[viscid helm]

snapshots of windows you mean?

the kind of BUPs I use

even these bootable BUPs can be searched and recover single files, that's what I like

[stoic nova]

Arconis appeals to a home user because of system image backups. Which for malicious software has likelyhood to trap you in a false sense of security as the images can still be written to

[viscid helm]

and I use this kind for them

[viscid helm]

I didn't understand the second part

I was also hacked recently and recovered 2 days before backup after making stuff safe

after fully cleaning the main SSD

and other drives

[stoic nova]

Even wide net, common malware has a lot of vectors these days

[viscid helm]

so they may be able to infect the NAS and backup files too?

[stoic nova]

The image backups. Are not a reliable way to ensure you're clean

[viscid helm]

what is a reliable way?

[stoic nova]

Nah. Unless you're doing a windows share.

Full blown external format from a bootable in a file system windows can't read

IE. Boot Linux and wipe.

[viscid helm]

I have to research on this, sounds all new to me

[stoic nova]

It's a rabbit hole. But you're not making ISOs of your whole C drive. So

You're fine.

[viscid helm]

yes, it makes sens to me now

[stoic nova]

I'm really liking chatgpt more and more lately

[viscid helm]

it's not that bad

I also used it for making my own python bot

I don't know coding at all

[stoic nova]

Like its dataset and its ability to infer a request into those really specific data sets has gotten pretty damn good

You can always make it report its own inference of your requests.

[viscid helm]

interesting, I didn't know that

[random junco]

what screen ratio is that

[viscid helm]

there are too many models in it now, makes it more complicated

[viscid helm]

20:9

[stoic nova]

Which one? Lol

This answer your question?

[viscid helm]

I think he can scroll and take long screenshots

some android phones have that option

[stoic nova]

Nah it's just...the Z-Folds front screen is. Well

[viscid helm]

Ah, I see

[stoic nova]

People don't usually notice that in SS. But like. Colleagues see how narrow the front screen is and wonder how the hell I can even type on it

[gloomy sleet]

i just want a normal phone

i find the folding phone big screen ratio to be awkard

[stoic nova]

It's def never something id reccomend to a mom

[gloomy sleet]

because its never a perfect 16:9 or 21:9 so you cant really use it for youtube or whatever

[stoic nova]

But us nerds?;

It's...so cool

[gloomy sleet]

which imo is the whole point

[random junco]

oh you just scroll screenshotted

[broken saffron]

will a 1.6kg laptop feel much lighter than 2.5

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

it will feel lighter because it is lighter

[random junco]

i see you failed the screenshot the first time 😂

[gloomy sleet]

no he has a foldy phone

[broken saffron]

yeah but does it feel significantly lighter

[stoic nova]

That's where this comes in

[soft junco]

Hey guys, got a question... do I need to pay a subscription to have Ring doorbell and if not, is the subscription worth it?

[stoic nova]

I mean you're right. But a power user can really....tap into some real potential of this

[random junco]

mobile gaming and not having the device plugged in is criminal

[stoic nova]

Nah it's a god of war video.

Speaking of gaming

Check this out

Retro emulation never been better on a phone

[blazing onyx]

surely xfx isnt this bad normally right?

[rapid quarry]

Wdym?

[stoic nova]

Deshrouded mine.

[blazing onyx]

ive had two entirely different brand new sqft 210 rx 7600's die within the past like. 3 months

[stoic nova]

Huh?

[blazing onyx]

first one exploded, got RMA'd.
now both the Vbios are corrupted

[carmine yew]

either really bad luck, or you're doing something stupid and breaking them

[stoic nova]

Again. Huh?

Which variant? Even my 6700xt had a dual bios

[carmine yew]

XFX SWFT 210 7600

[stoic nova]

Dudes got lottery winning luck on lemons or doing something really stupid.

[azure topaz]

the methods

[blazing onyx]

i dont know what i could be doing to possibly corrupt 2 vbios back to back

i assumed the first one was just factory error because it just blew up a month into me using it

[carmine yew]

Neither do I. But corrupting a VBIOS is exceptionally uncommon during normal usage. Let alone twice.

[blazing onyx]

yea thats why im confused

Nothing else on the desktop has any issues, no power cutoffs, windows crashed, corrupted files

[long brook]

nice, fold phone gaming is so good for Retro

[blazing onyx]

Nothing

[carmine yew]

so, you're either:

1. Cursed with the worst luck ever
   or
2. Doing something stupid and not wanting to admit to it

and nobody other than you can know

[blazing onyx]

Ok, what COULD corrupt a vbios

[stoic nova]

Solar flares.

[azure topaz]

1 bit flip changed mario kart 64 speed running forever

(the music plays)

(we all know what song i dont need to specify)

[stoic nova]

I hear it in my head too

[blazing onyx]

at least for the second corrupted vbios, literally all i did was get out of windows affter partitioning my hard drive, and then try to open my motherboard bios to boot into debian to install it

i dont know what could have corrupted a vbios just by doing that

[azure topaz]

My ass

[azure topaz]

irrelevant

[stoic nova]

Yeh...

[blazing onyx]

Any thoughts?

[plush wren]

[stoic nova]

How did you determine this was the fault

[blazing onyx]

hm?

because theres nothing else that i could possibly think of it being

[stoic nova]

In both cases. Why are you convinced of "blew up" and "corruption"

[blazing onyx]

windows installation is fine, motherboard bios is perfect (i reflashed it twice to make sure)

[blazing onyx]

the first time it did blow up, went up in smoke and everything

ok so, whats happening at the moment

[stoic nova]

Got a picture of this...meltdown

[blazing onyx]

if i try to open my motherboard bios, or the boot manager, it just gives me a green artifact screen

[stoic nova]

My mind goes straight to....riser cables. and power connectors

[blazing onyx]

No risers

and no extenders

[stoic nova]

You surely have a pic of this

[blazing onyx]

Ok, Motherboard bios and boot manager give a green artifact screen

[stoic nova]

Right?

[blazing onyx]

windows however, boots perfectly

no artifacts, no anything

[stoic nova]

Willing to share your RMA claim email chain?

[blazing onyx]

not even any bluescreens

[stoic nova]

Yeah figured

Unreliable narrator

[random junco]

she broke up with me 💔

[blazing onyx]

?

the only problem i ever had with the card in windows, is that sometimes the drivers would crash

but that was only the drivers, not windows itself, so i feel like that rules out the motherboard, cpu, ram, and power supply

Im just wondering why the hell its ONLY on the bios screen and boot manager that its an artifact

[stoic nova]

Anyway xfx is great. Sorry you're having issues.

[wispy thunder]

unlucky

[slate maple]

this aged well lmao

apple just released an M3 Ultra with a new mac studio

[stoic nova]

Got my dad the base m4 mini. Dem chips no joke

M2 MB pros are already doing cyberpunk at a playable level

[torn bluff]

yall think there’s gonna be enough 9070xt stock for me to just come later in the day to get one

[stoic nova]

Nah. Blueballed Nvidia buyers already inflating 2 year old AMD cards to twice what they were a year ago

[torn bluff]

Are there any retailers selling it online at least 💔

[stoic nova]

I'm not shopping for one so I unno

[native marten]

Very nice question but: Has anyone encountered issues with the display port cable when using a monitor arm? 😮 like flickering and black screens

[stoic nova]

Did you put a long screw in the vesa mount or something

[native marten]

nah, it just happens when I use DP and when I route the cable through the arm

other than that, I havent found any issues or common anyways

[stoic nova]

And if it's not....

It's fine?

[native marten]

so far so good, but will continue test

[stoic nova]

Bro you're probably just really maxing out that cable length and tugging on both ports

[native marten]

but ... isn't it weird that it just happens while routing thru the monitor arm? I know dp is weaker when cable bends but it feels ridiculous xd

bendiong a bit for sure, but it does have cable to spare

[stoic nova]

Surprised you felt the need to ask us to troubleshoot this

[native marten]

I am asking just in case it's more common than I think

[torn bluff]

yeah mine flickers sometimes

[native marten]

kinda wrecks the "looking clean" part of the desk xD

[stoic nova]

Monitor too high

Lower just below eye level and tilt a little up. Problem solved and ergonomic

[opal bridge]

Anybody know the exact meaning behind this? Been happening for a few weeks now but its so random... Sometimes its a week with no issues but just now i had 2 restarts cuz of it in the span of 30 minutes

[left dove]

oof, whea

[opal bridge]

Is my cpu done for? is it a windows thing? what is it

[left dove]

are you fucking with overclocks

[stoic nova]

Event viewer and windows logs in general most unhelpful crap tbh

Test clean install on small partition

[left dove]

yeah but cache heirarchy is talking about cpu cache

[opal bridge]

never touched the ryzen master shit or any of that

[stoic nova]

Good start

[livid fern]

undervolt likely

[left dove]

OH

OH OH OH

Are your ram in slots 2 & 4

[opal bridge]

this is there too

[livid fern]

thats core 0 error

I'll be stunned if Peyton deciphered a windows log to a working solution within the next 2 troubleshooting steps

[opal bridge]

he better do so😅 im tired of this

[opal bridge]

that is?

[stoic nova]

Lmao don't expect the world

[opal bridge]

fair enough

[left dove]

ram tester, your errors are directly related to cpu memory management, either from the onboard l1/2/3 caches or ram

[opal bridge]

well from a video i saw some ppl saying that it doesnt receive enough voltage or something idek

[left dove]

yeah, run memtest

[opal bridge]

this thing?

[left dove]

yes

[opal bridge]

so what after this?

[stoic nova]

🍿

[left dove]

idk, run it and see what it says

I can't hold your hand through everything, dude.

[opal bridge]

😭

[left dove]

we'll know more and probably what to do a little better after the test is done

[stoic nova]

Expected the world....smh

[opal bridge]

alrighty

[opal bridge]

im sorryyyy

[broken saffron]

is it better than m4 max?

[formal elbow]

How good or bad of an Ideea is running SSDs in Raid 0?
Just normal gaming stuff, nothing server or backup related

[latent pagoda]

u can get 512 gb of Ram on it 💀

[stoic nova]

VROOOOM

[latent pagoda]

uh, personally not recommended, but u can do what u want really.

[formal elbow]

Just asking because I got a Workstation. And since it doesn't have m.2s 🤷

[oblique terrace]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/145033307727

[latent pagoda]

its like running a tuned wrx, sure, u can go crazy fast, but ur engine could explode and u r cooked

[oblique terrace]

Tempted

[stoic nova]

Raid 0 irrelevant when the 2.5 sata SSD became cheaper than a nice dinner

[formal elbow]

Cheap 2nd hand ssd's go brr

[azure topaz]

kepler is old as fuck and basically useless

while cool - they’re not useful for much

[oblique terrace]

24gb GDDR5

I don't want it for gaming

[azure topaz]

and a gpu core about as old as you what’s your point

[oblique terrace]

I'm older

[azure topaz]

you still need some form of gpu acceleration 😭

[oblique terrace]

Dell Precision T5500...

Or an old Power edge

[azure topaz]

that’s not a graphics card

[latent pagoda]

AI workflows? Its gonna be super slow, also nvidia drivers unsupported now Id imagine? Could work, would require a bit of hassle, and run a little slow, but sure could work

[oblique terrace]

I know but I can run this along side one in this case

You need a server board

[azure topaz]

not a little slow, very very slow

it’s a gtx 780ti with 24 gigs of vram bro

[latent pagoda]

whats the use case here? what are you gonan use it for?

[oblique terrace]

Rendering and editing

It doesn't need to be fast either

[latent pagoda]

yea bro dont go for it

[azure topaz]

😭absolutely not

[azure topaz]

then buy something that doesn’t draw a million watts and is basically more than useless at this point

[oblique terrace]

Photo and Video Editing

[latent pagoda]

like im telling u ur CPU integrated stuff for redering and editing gonna be faster, and if u need the encoders/decoders, pick up an intel arc

[azure topaz]

yeah

[oblique terrace]

I want a 1080ti but scalpers are scalping

[azure topaz]

why do you want only unsupported hardware

[slate maple]

Depends. If you’re talking power efficiency and single core, m4 max. Multi core, iGPU, m1 ultra

[stoic nova]

I like how chromium handles forcing off hardware acceleration lets you screen cap Hulu

[distant frigate]

Jesus

[oblique terrace]

Linux...

[distant frigate]

Maybe I should take a break from the internet for awhile. Would be beneficial

[stoic nova]

Bender lmao

[broken saffron]

single core m4 ma is better?

[azure topaz]

okay fine. why do you only want 10 year old hardware

[distant frigate]

Spending too much time on the internet can be bad for your health

[plain cypress]

Crazy they haven't depreciated for the last 2 years

[latent pagoda]

bros got hardware so old he has to load the kernel modules for it manually 💀

[azure topaz]

😭

[oblique terrace]

Price...

Availability...

[azure topaz]

clearly not the 1080ti hasn’t moved in price for 2 years like said above

[plain cypress]

"availability"
It's 8 years old

[oblique terrace]

It's basically fucking everywhere

[azure topaz]

there is newer used hardware you can buy for cheap

[stoic nova]

2025 hittin like

[azure topaz]

a 2060 is going to blow a 1080ti away in most workstation scenarios

[plain cypress]

Jesus is 2025 years old

[latent pagoda]

ok, so tight budget yea I get that. there is newer hardware that you can get for cheap with more features, and better support

[oblique terrace]

I have an AMD Radeon R5 430 right now but it's not enough

[plain cypress]

We found the one R5 430 user

[azure topaz]

i had an r7 250x which is an r5 340

i think it was an r7 250x might’ve just been a 340

[hushed tundra]

Why does GTA V Enhanced still not have an ultrawide intro?

[latent pagoda]

wait I actually have one sitting next to me rn 💀

[stoic nova]

Daily casino type life choices

[oblique terrace]

I paid $5 for my R5 430

[stoic nova]

There's always a hack

There isn't one game dx9+ I can't at least stretch the shit out of hud elements in

[real lantern]

i love gambling

free money

[azure topaz]

true

[oblique terrace]

My Chode Senses are tingling https://www.ebay.com/itm/376044384720

[hushed tundra]

The game works in ultrawide, I just hate that the intro and the main menu is in 16:9

[stoic nova]

That's all?

[hushed tundra]

Yeah :P

[stoic nova]

That's pretty much fully supported.

[hushed tundra]

Yeaaa but I still find it annoying

[stoic nova]

Man....

[hushed tundra]

How dare this 12 year old game not support my niche aspect ratio monitor 😭

[stoic nova]

Oh it's self aware irony thank God

[latent pagoda]

not bad, but then again, do you want to be buying an old GPU every two-four years when the old ones lose support?

[hushed tundra]

Oh this new game looks the same as the old one, neat

[latent pagoda]

really good price tho dont get me wrong

[oblique terrace]

Just took a shit and named it Hewlett and his brother Packard

[topaz ingot]

why is the 4080s not on any of the benchmarks 😭

[oblique terrace]

Packard was a floater 🤣

[swift moss]

Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Hewlett Packard Bell

[hushed tundra]

Is it bad that I only noticed that my game has RT on because it told me so in the settings? Lmao

[oblique terrace]

Compaq was better

[real lantern]

GTA's RT Is just increasing the contrast i'm not sure there's any rays being traced

[hushed tundra]

They do RT reflections, that’s the only thing I noticed

[real lantern]

yeah on glass

[hushed tundra]

What an upgrade

[real lantern]

and they removed the chat

[azure topaz]

it’s next gen bro

[hushed tundra]

THEY WHAT

[real lantern]

yeah they removed chatting

[hushed tundra]

OML

[real lantern]

it's now voice only

[azure topaz]

it’s cause it’s a copy paste of the console port. fps is locked to 120 just like xbox/ps5

[real lantern]

nah, you can change it tho

[hushed tundra]

Thankfully I’m unaffected due to my amazing 1080p 60hz monitor lmao

[hushed tundra]

They meant that you can only limit it to 120 I think

[stoic nova]

I like how this indirectly makes code of conduct impossible to enforce.

Customer service is thrilled

[swift moss]

Huh what is

[real lantern]

there's an AI Overlord hearing all your voicechats

[hushed tundra]

Ngl the game seems to run buttery smooth, is that just me?

[real lantern]

it's supposed to be

[stoic nova]

Thought only cod did that.

Man imagine if that model leaked and became a chatbot

[real lantern]

what

[stoic nova]

If it's an AI model. It's been positively reinforced for. Bad things. And negatively reinforced to normal things

[latent pagoda]

bros abt to have another Microsoft Tay

[cyan bay]

is this shi even legal😭

[dusk snow]

Guys is a ryzen 7 9800x3d with a gtx 480 a good combo🙏

[real lantern]

no, but it's funny

[dusk snow]

How does one think of this

[cyan bay]

real how do they even not get caught

[real lantern]

yes i extremely recommend it

[cyan bay]

a person who thinks all the time has got nothing to think about but thoughts

[stoic nova]

Social media.

[dusk snow]

Ok I trust you ill but it now

[real lantern]

nobody cares to check it

[stoic nova]

Alan WAT?

[cyan bay]

you could get a 5090 with a AMD FX-9590

[cyan bay]

what do u think happens when u get caught tho

[dusk snow]

How many fps I'm chess.com

[real lantern]

the package is sent back that's it

*Depending on the store you bought it from

[cyan bay]

and u still pay right?

[stoic nova]

Jeff bezon is so sad he buys another yatch and a random person has a bad day or two

[real lantern]

no

[cyan bay]

about 5-10frames per bus8ness days

[dusk snow]

I'll take it

[cyan bay]

yes

[cyan bay]

damn might do that🌚/j

[eternal cloak]

That sure is fraud

[swift moss]

Is that more effective?

[cyan bay]

yeah lmao

[real lantern]

go on

[swift moss]

Punishing it when it detects rather than rewarding, I would say a bias towards good behaviour is always good

Like if I put the n word in chatgpt it could say that's a bad thing to say

[cyan bay]

no way im afraid lmao

[peak furnace]

I just got my first 1440p monitor today and it’s insane, its the AOC Q27G4XF, previously have been using some other AOC monitor thats 24 inch, 1080p and 144hz. The jump to 1440p is insane and 180hz was actually a noticable upgrade from 144. I couldnt only try out this monitor for 30 minutes since i had to study for a test 😔

[stoic nova]

If you don't understand the implication, well whatever.

It is, for what it's built to do

[peak furnace]

240 bucks for 180hz 1440p IPS is such a good deal man

[swift moss]

??

[cyan bay]

is 1080p and 1440p a huge difference?

[swift moss]

I'm curious

[peak furnace]

YES

[swift moss]

Well 2x more pixels

[cyan bay]

I wanna get a new monitor but figured I should upgrade my pc first

[peak furnace]

Whats ur specs?

[cyan bay]

how does it feel

[slate maple]

Single core yeah, Multi core M1 Ultra is better

[cyan bay]

r5 3600, a320-k mobo, ddr4 2666mhz ram, 3060ti, and superflower 550w

[swift moss]

1.5*

[broken saffron]

m1??

[cyan bay]

is it a really noticeable difference?

[peak furnace]

Amazing, very smooth and over all very pretty with the extra pixels. However do not use a 1440p panel and have it set to 1080p since it will look blurry

[astral oasis]

Guys that’s like my dream build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rsnHnp

[brittle turtle]

Need opinions pls. I’m doing a new build moving up from a laptop.

I’m hearing AIO are only lasting about 3 years then starting to have issues due to evaporation?
Would it be better to look at AIO or fan cooling?

I’m looking at getting a 9070xt in a perfect world, paired with r7 7800x3d

[slate maple]

Sorry, M3 Ultra

[peak furnace]

Very, and its more like 1,8x pixels

[astral oasis]

How much do y’all think i have to save up(starting from 650€)

[cyan bay]

ahh

[swift moss]

Imo yeah, along with the colour accuracy and contrast

[stoic nova]

You ever go on Amazon reviews and see those reviews that always have an

"In conclusion" in them.

Ever see those YouTube comments near the top posting something unrelated to the video and have tons of engagement

[real lantern]

fan cooling

[peak furnace]

Oo i would say upgrade ur pc first

[cyan bay]

I might just upgrade my pc

[swift moss]

Yeah..

[swift moss]

4k view sonic 60hz is where it's at 🤓

[edgy valve]

My area the thrustmaster is 120$ more and money is kinda tight so would you say it’s still worth the extra money?

[swift moss]

If you watch movies and do desk work

[peak furnace]

Which is also why you should get IPS and not VA even though VA is cheaper (imo) @cyan bay

[slate maple]

For single core I was looking at the M1 ultra for some reason - the M4 max should still have better single core than M3 Ultra as it’s newer architecture

[cyan bay]

should I like save up for am5 ? I really wanna get a 4070 ti super tho💔

[swift moss]

Stunning colour accuracy and HDR (even OLED) but yeah the refresh rate ass

[swift moss]

Monitor is always the top priority of a build

Full stop.

[stoic nova]

Imagine everywhere those are. You have a profile that posts the accumulation of everything bad a gamer can say on a mic.

It's could be a new method to effectively DOS

[cyan bay]

i think I have the gigabyte 1080p 165hz idk what kind of screen it is tho

[peak furnace]

Keep your current gpu and put it in ur newer system when it’s built that way it wont be the absolute best when built but you can save up for a better gpu

[cyan bay]

It's a used gpu btw boight it for like 263 usd

[swift moss]

I'm not saying the implications, but I'm talking about the positively reinforced bit, is it better to reinforce bad language or punish bad language in a model like that?

[civic ferry]

Display cleaner went under the display and caused damage

[swift moss]

Like I said I would always upgrade monitor first

[real lantern]

immediately refund it or RMA it

[swift moss]

If you game and are seeing low fps I'd consider upgrading GPU I guess

[peak furnace]

However 1440p is not that enjoyable if you are only getting 30-60fps. I priotised my build and got a 7800xt and then later i got a 1440p monitor (just got it today lmao) by selling my old pc

[cyan bay]

no thanks I already have a 1080p 165hz monitor and it's been 6months and so far so good

[peak furnace]

No, PC first

[cyan bay]

8months rather

[civic ferry]

The display is too old for those

[swift moss]

Well yeah it depends what they play, but for browsing which is what most people do most of the time on PC it is more important

[real lantern]

guess you'll have to live with it

[stoic nova]

They had to do this. To make an LLM that moderates voice chat in cod and apparently GTAV

[swift moss]

You look at your monitor 100 percent of the time while using a PC just saying

[civic ferry]

Yeah it's not like I have 2 other ones

[cyan bay]

I play monster hunter wilds and I only get 40-50fps w 3060ti

[swift moss]

I'm talking about training methodologies here

[indigo basin]

so thats where all my stoage went...

[peak furnace]

You are using your pc 100% of the time while using the pc btw

[plush wren]

which is

[swift moss]

Nope, your GPU and CPU are rarely floored

[indigo basin]

recycle bin

[peak furnace]

Then upgrade your pc first, it will be even worse in 1440p

[swift moss]

Assuming you are a normal 9-5 human and not a pro gamer

[stoic nova]

Oh...you're referring to reinforcement learning as a concept

[swift moss]

Yeah

[stoic nova]

Yes.

[peak furnace]

Not to 100% but 100% of the time

[swift moss]

Ok

[cyan bay]

yeah planning to recently just spent my savings on a gpu, new cpu cooler and m.2 nvme ssd 1tb

[swift moss]

Yeah well your monitor doesn't display 720p at random intervals does it? It always pushes 4k at maximum colour depth

[indigo basin]

this feels like a sin

[real lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-dog-backflip-backflip-dog-back-flip-gif-12747951012339527853

[peak furnace]

Carry over the cooler (if you can) and ssd to ur new build to save a few bucks

[real lantern]

dog does backflip

[steep pawn]

yo i got a i5 12400 and supporting board for 150$ Cad
im building a NAS for plex (actually jellyfin cus its free but people know plex lol) and photo storage
thing is it SHOULD draw very little watts since im not gonna use a video card would i be able to get by using this PSU? https://www.gigabyte.com/Power-Supply/PW400#kf

[cyan bay]

yep that's my plan

[peak furnace]

I agree, but by prioritising the monitor your pc might not be good enough for lets say 4k oled to be enjoyable if you are only pushing like 30fps in most triple A games

[cyan bay]

well the bad thing is I'm still a minor and in my area minor's usually can't work💔

[swift moss]

Yeah I'm just saying for browsing it's the way to go, not arguing about that

[stoic nova]

Eh.. if you can nudge that up to 40-45, framegen takes care of the rest

[real lantern]

beg/forge documents/steal

[stoic nova]

Great experience

[peak furnace]

Summer jobs

[waxen shell]

I love amd ong

[peak furnace]

I mean gaming rigs are usually used for gaming arent they

[neat flame]

[peak furnace]

YES

[left dove]

no they're used for crime

[cyan bay]

Philippines is so corrupt men everything is so expensive and can't find a job that pays well

[stoic nova]

High end desktops are used for everything

[cyan bay]

yes

[waxen shell]

Really outdone themselves with this one

Gonna get a 9070xt

[cyan bay]

somebody send me a pc please ill do anything

[peak furnace]

Maybe i should have waited i just built a new rig early january this year

[cyan bay]

hope the prices dont sky rocket

cause 9070xt is the gpu im planning on saving on

[waxen shell]

If I can’t get one for <650 I won’t get one

[real lantern]

give me 3000$ in return i'll give you a nice PC

[peak furnace]

7800xt + 7600x + 32gb DDR5. My previous build was a Gtx 1650 and intel pentium gold g5400 lmao

[lapis condor]

Plenty of places have been building up stock for the past 5 months

It'll be medium difficulty to not get one

[brittle turtle]

I’m scared what the roe will be on the 9070xt

[waxen shell]

W

[steep pawn]

also my dads in china Rn so hes prob able to get a Newer card at MSRP is there places i should tell him about?

[waxen shell]

Whats roe mean again?

[cyan bay]

any other things I could do?

[hollow sorrel]

I might just save up a bit longer if the 9070 xt goes beyond my £1200 budget tbh

[steep pawn]

if anyone knows about that

[waxen shell]

5070xt?

[real lantern]

no, nvidia is just really stupid, no way AMD is going to miss some ROPs

[brittle turtle]

Rate of exchange.
USD to CAD

[waxen shell]

Bet

[peak furnace]

Tell him to buy a 9070xt, AMD is the way to go

[hollow sorrel]

9070 xt

[waxen shell]

I hope these tariffs don’t affect prices much

[steep pawn]

considering how bad the 50 series drop is prob gonna swap to team red

is that out now?

[hollow sorrel]

Should I get a 9600x over a 7600 too?

[peak furnace]

Doubt it will fit in your budget, probably wont be avaible at msrp right away

[neat flame]

barely an upgrade

[lapis condor]

Tomorrow at 2pm GMT

[steep pawn]

oh wow

[waxen shell]

Based

[steep pawn]

what are some stores in china that sell those?

[real lantern]

aliexpress

[hollow sorrel]

The 7800 xt is the previous generation right? Before the 9070

[waxen shell]

I might wait like a week to get one

[lapis condor]

Yes

[peak furnace]

Nah, just get a 7600 and upgrade to something better later. Upgrade path is what’s so good about am5

[brittle turtle]

Rip my sleep 😂 and other 6am launch

[waxen shell]

Lol

[hollow sorrel]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DQ6ZWc

This is my list and I'm pretty happy with it, but I'll revise it when I have the money for it

[peak furnace]

7800xt still performs very good, around the performance of a 4070 super

[unreal willow]

Does anyone know what type of plastic glue to use for a damaged laptop hinge?

[hollow sorrel]

Cyanoacrilate glue

[real lantern]

are you gluing a hinge!?

[unreal willow]

https://www.pbtech.co.nz/search?sf=plastic+glue&search_type=
^ what type of glue should I use to fix the hinge

[unreal willow]

The hinge is still attached, just cracked, the frame is plastic

[real lantern]

oh

[unreal willow]

thanks

[real lantern]

send an image

[abstract wigeon]

somebody just told me that the 5090 is bottlenecked on the 9800x3d and hes waiting for intel 15th gen because they have better drivers anyways

[unreal willow]

any alternitive on pbtech?

[brittle turtle]

Yeah be careful with that cuz glue moves and may not stay where you want it and then no more movement. My brother did that once 🤦🏻‍♀️

[peak furnace]

Dont skimp out on the psu like that, get a 750w or 850w. You could probably also save a few bucks on a cheaper ram kit and motherboard

[hollow sorrel]

I mean I did say I'm happy with the list as it is

[peak furnace]

Intel 💔💔💔

[hollow sorrel]

The ram matches the aesthetic I'm going for and so does the mb

[peak furnace]

Yeah but i wouldnt get a 650w psu, its kinda little

[abstract wigeon]

looks great, depending on ur area the gigabyte b650 gaming ax v2 can be better value though for the motherboard

[abstract wigeon]

nothing wrong with the ram at all

[peak furnace]

Oh then thats alright

[hollow sorrel]

Edgerunners pfp detected

[abstract wigeon]

peak peak peak

[peak furnace]

peakk

[abstract wigeon]

my moon my man

[peak furnace]

I need to rewatch edgerunners it’s been a while

[hollow sorrel]

I might get something beefier then

[unreal willow]

Could I also use Epoxy?

[brittle turtle]

Duct tape. Not glue

[peak furnace]

Yeah cus then you also have room for upgrades in the future without having to buy a new psu

Hey y’all have a quick question. I just got a new 5070 TI and I’m trying to install it into my computer. I’m upgrading from a 3070 but after installing the GPU there is no display out but LEDs light up implying it’s getting power. I’ve reinstalled the old graphics card and a boots fine is this a driver issue? Do I need to use the DDU?

[humble kraken]

cpu at 97c and gpu at 70-80

gpu was at 90c before

[fresh escarp]

what does this mean for my cpu?

[tidal geyser]

not half bad

[true stirrup]

You can try DDU

[tidal geyser]

something you do not need to worry about

[fresh escarp]

alright thanks

[urban trout]

What happens when production stops.

[tidal geyser]

already has'

[worn spruce]

Anyone use a hp core ultra 5 125h notebook?

If so is it recommended for business use

[tidal geyser]

business use?

[worn spruce]

Yeah need 10+ Google tabs open while being portable

[tidal geyser]

soo something a 10+ year old pc can do with no issues

[plain cypress]

is a company buying it?

[random gyro]

https://youtu.be/qvGOGBVr-YY?feature=shared

@robust trail why not just a 5090

[lapis condor]

It doesn't and cannot exist

The die density of GDDR6X doesn't exist to make such a thing possbile

Unless someone's made a datacentre PCB with clamshell VRAM, then put a 4090 core onto it and modded the vbios to accept all that RAM

[steel umbra]

then it’s not a 4090

[gleaming rose]

yall are so smart

[steel umbra]

it would just utilise the ad102 core

[limber nacelle]

People still call it such

someone did that to the 2080ti

slapped the tu102 from it onto a leadtek rtx quadro 8000 pcb

People still called it a 2080ti

[steel umbra]

nuke them then

it just creates confusion for those who know less

[humble kraken]

used to be like 90c when it was new

[worn spruce]

Yeah

[lapis condor]

no we just have the tism

shi i just use my 3090 to overclock my oven

[graceful meadow]

I got myself new RAM today, 32GB 3200MHz, but I noticed that the RAM is only running at 2133MHz, while my old 16GB RAM was running at 2667MHz. What could be causing this problem? I cant find xmp or anything like that in the bios. Motherboard: B460H6-EM. My games run better with the 16GB RAM, which doesn’t make sense. Is there anything I can do about it?

i have a question

so my brother pc is getting unhardware banned in a game so im upgrading from 1660 super with r5 3600 to subbing out the 1660 super with 2080 because it has an i7 8700 so will the performance increase a lot?

[stoic nova]

Un-what

[austere cargo]

basically fortnite is unbanning all players who got banned 1 year plus so im putting the 2080 in my pc

with r5 3600

will the frame diff be good?

[stoic nova]

Man you really need the big spoon

[ebon marlin]

It'll do just fine

[stoic nova]

That's annoying as hell

[outer marlin]

thx

[random gyro]

Formerly

[true stirrup]

Close the side panel

[stoic nova]

It's a solid one

Which makes for awkward photo

[true stirrup]

Oh you can actually close it?

It really does look like that cooler is too big

[stoic nova]

The rear panel is a way more of a challenge LMFAO

[rugged swift]

im alive

[stoic nova]

Nah I literally deshrouded my ram to get the cooler to fit

[true stirrup]

If it works it works

[rugged swift]

New Pixel 8A has been ordered

[stoic nova]

Boutta deshroud my PSU and case next I guess

[plain cypress]

my sister had hers delivered yesterday

[true stirrup]

I mean if you are not overclocking it should be completely fine

[rugged swift]

is it any good?

[stoic nova]

Dimm sensor has never been more than 42c

[plain cypress]

idk, i don't talk to my sister

[true stirrup]

Very nice

[plain cypress]

jk kinda

[rugged swift]

ohh lol

[plain cypress]

she spent the evening signing back into all her apps then hopped on a plane today

so not enough time for a full review

[kindred halo]

Is 3m a good length for an ethernet cable

[plain cypress]

but considering its a plastic pixel 8....its a fine phone

[true stirrup]

Depends on how far your router is

[kindred halo]

Or should I just include an antenna USB instead with my computers

[plain cypress]

ethernet

[stoic nova]

Is a 2ft stick a good length for a stick

[kindred halo]

3 metre cable, though

[rugged swift]

i mean nothing important is on this phone i dont think.. everything is on my google account anyway so

just need to sign into google when it arrives i guess

[true stirrup]

My ethernet cable is around 20m long

[kindred halo]

What I meant is; is it atleast long enough to be useful, or just too short?

[stoic nova]

Idk man. My 2ft stick could be enough for poking people with it

But im not sure

[kindred halo]

Hhhhh

[rugged swift]

lmao

[kindred halo]

USB Antenna it is

Nvm found a 5 metre cable

CAT6 5m, 5 US a piece

[devout oxide]

Is their a pi hole but for Linux

[stoic nova]

Incredible

[kindred halo]

Could probably get them for 3.5-4 a piece for bulk purchases

[glad fog]

their playerbase must be dropping for them to do that lol

i loved that last fortnite og season before all the pve shit they added.

[true stirrup]

I can't remember the last time I bought an ethernet cable. I just cut the UTP cable in a box with one really long one to my desired size and put on the rj45 connector on each side lol

[stoic nova]

Fortnite was pve shit before it was a BR correct me if I'm wrong but

[plain cypress]

there are longer cables

[kindred halo]

Found a 5 metre cable

For 5 US, aka 3-4ish in bulk orders

[glad fog]

i dont remember it being so

[stoic nova]

....oh boy

[kindred halo]

Would that be better to ship or just stick with a USB Antenna stick for the same price

[glad fog]

2018-19 it was battle royale that was most popular where it was just pvp. you had Save The World but i dont know who played that

[ebon marlin]

https://videocardz.com/newz/uk-retailer-confirms-stock-of-1000-units-of-a-single-radeon-rx-9070-xt-model-at-msrp

[kindred halo]

Funnily enough, Save The World was the original mode

[gloomy sleet]

wonder how well this works

[ebon marlin]

1000 units of just a single MSRP model at one retailer

Nvidia is cooked for sure 😭

[gloomy sleet]

triple 4:3s

[lapis condor]

Hey that's the one I'm gonna buy tomorrow

[glad fog]

i started playing fortnite pretty early, but at any rate i know battle royale was what got fortnite to where it is today.

[gloomy sleet]

people make really goofy sim racing setups

[glad fog]

when they added planes i was having a ball and i wait for that og season to return

[kindred halo]

Mhm, anyone can realise that really

[gloomy sleet]

1960s f1 car experience

[ebon marlin]

And I bought a 7800xt instead for 270€

[kindred halo]

If it stayed PvE, who knows what would've happened really

[kindred halo]

REAL

[steel umbra]

weher, that’s a steal

[brave brook]

lore acurate sim setup

[gloomy sleet]

monza T1 setup

[ebon marlin]

Not really 270€ but it was an insane promo deal

[brave brook]

or BMW driver experience

[stoic nova]

I'm a little bummed that the extraction shooter "hype" didn't get much taller than a hill.

[steel umbra]

liar banned , well still good even if at €300-350 for example

[ebon marlin]

420€ for the 7800xt then I get MH Wilds with it worth 70€ and then I get 80€ giftcard from Asus to a site where I can buy steam keys for cheaper than Steam

[steel umbra]

i will not buy 9070 xt, this gen sucks

[ebon marlin]

Some site called gamesplanet

[random gyro]

Would it be against the rules to post a link to my youtube video cloud archive for anyone who wants it

[gloomy sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/acc-monza-racing-driving-track-cars-gif-17795095

[stoic nova]

A year ago pretty easy to find 7900xt for 6-700 usd

[gloomy sleet]

i ❤️ monza

[steel umbra]

50 series pricing and launch, stock, issues are bad-horrible and 9070 xt is really meh, a lukewarm response to rtx 50 pricing amd again undercutting nvidia by 15% despite this gen nvidia being bad.

[cunning cloud]

best software for gpu temps, cpu temps etc?

[stoic nova]

Depends

[brave brook]

it's called end of production when new generation launches

[true stirrup]

As long as you are not charging for it sure

[random gyro]

?

Oh sorry didnt see it when i send that whoops

[true stirrup]

HWInfo64

[stoic nova]

There's way more variables than just that

[brave brook]

if you think 50 series launch is horrible... Have you seen 30 series launch ?

[random gyro]

Sorry, here it is, tell me what you think https://1024terabox.com/s/1D1naA2DgNcTx_lsG9VMD4g

[cunning cloud]

ty

[steel umbra]

yes, i was tracking prices, but now nvidia is the “scalper” that charges a premium

[stoic nova]

Massive backlog of prospecting Nvidia buyers blueballed driving up high end RDNA 3 thru the roof and deepseek to name the biggest

[brave brook]

30 series was more like 'zero stock for months', but ok

[steel umbra]

stocks bought in microseconds by bots yes

crypto boom

[brave brook]

no, zero stocks. In my EU country they literally had all cards above 1050 delisted, because they weren't available from distributors for months

[long brook]

not bad, not bad at all for pricing in UK, source is OverclockersUK

[steel umbra]

i could buy gpus, not at launch but after few weeks at smaller retailers

but they were $$$$$$$ instead of $$$

[ripe spire]

something tells me this is a bad result

[true stirrup]

What GPU?

[ripe spire]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZK9zv4

[steel umbra]

nvidia atleast tried to somewhat supply gpus, this generation is not only poorly priced but also low stock

[stoic nova]

Meanwhile in America

[steel umbra]

restart 3dmark and run again

it does that sometimes

[ripe spire]

was i not supposed to close steam

[true stirrup]

Within average margins

[brave brook]

like this was literally last day of 2020 😄

that was all the GPUs in stock 😄

[ripe spire]

i dont like the sound of that

my gpu found a new peak power draw in that tho, 466W 💀

[brave brook]

and rest was usually delisted

[rugged swift]

[steel umbra]

a 1660 in stock and a 3090? damm

[true stirrup]

You are 1.2% from average
If you rerun 3DMark you might hit average
There is always some variation

[stoic nova]

There is a serious lack of midrange here

That is tragic

[brave brook]

that was end of 2020. Rest was simply unavailable because of crypto & low production volumes

[ocean ether]

Hey fellas. Anyoen else got a Lenovo Legion pro?

[steel umbra]

covid too

[brave brook]

mid-December 2020

[stoic nova]

Same time I got an EVGA LHR card. Did those not put a dent in...well rather lackthereof

[brave brook]

to be clear - the pictures above were the FULL list of GPUs available in stock at that time at biggest eshop and computer store in country.

[fluid fox]

Thought we were sharing credit scores for a moment.

[steel umbra]

alza?

[brave brook]

yeah. Early december 2020

[ocean ether]

Hey yall. So I have a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 - R7 7745hx w/ a 4070. PC runs great. I have noticed when I play games my internet is starting to jump around with the MS. When I first got the laptop, I had to disable WiFi Security on the Lenovo Vantage app because with that enabled it was throatting my 2gig fiber down to 13mbps on this laptop.

Now it fixed the speed, but my MS is just all over the place at random times. I know it's not my internet because I can play fine on another laptop right next to me.

[steel umbra]

not too bad, atleast something in stock

[brave brook]

i bought the worst, but good enough 1030 in middle of that ironically, for not even bad price

GT1030 2GB GDDR5 for 83 euros

the GPU itself isn't bad, but the cooler is a joke

[steel umbra]

e, atleast gddr5 version

[steel umbra]

yeah a display adapter

[brave brook]

i mean any time i buy lowend GPUs it is for non-gaming use

[little ether]

9070xt... is a W?

[brave brook]

RX580 8GB's for Linux systems. 1080TI's cause they were cheap (well the second one), GT710's cause both are x1 slot ones, so great for debugging

[stoic nova]

Man I'm seeing conspiracy theories now that Nvidia themselves leaked the driver that bypassed LHR within a week of AIBs running them

[brave brook]

compared to 5070, 5070 Ti (due price and perf), 5080 (price)... yes

[ripe spire]

ran again, 200 points more

[little ether]

Well that could still means its dogshit tbh

[true stirrup]

Now you are above average

[tidal geyser]

<@&750150305383186585>

oh and i hit a new personal peak ppower draw on gpu once again, 469W on gpu

can definitely hear that

[tidal falcon]

lmfao nvidia is telling me to use fsr

[zinc widget]

Well Ublock Origin finally stopped working on my computer rip

[true stirrup]

This feature just sucks don't bother using it

[zinc widget]

Gonna try Origin Lite and if that doesn’t work I’m gonna be pissed

[tidal falcon]

it still works just re enable it

[zinc widget]

I hate Firefox

[zinc widget]

Oh lol

[tidal falcon]

it disabled itself cuz it stopped getting updates lmao

[zinc widget]

NOT TODAY FIREFOX

[stiff dagger]

Hey, would it be worth it upgrading from a S10 to a S24FE?

[tidal geyser]

why not fire the fox

[steel umbra]

what’s the reason you’re upgrading?

[tidal geyser]

why hate

[ripe spire]

i got 16097 on mine, im winning chat

[tidal geyser]

i think its losing or already lost security support

[zinc widget]

Idk whenever I use it it’s faster I just don’t like it. I don’t know why just everytime I try it I end up slowly migrating back to Chrome

[tidal geyser]

uninstall chrome problem fixed

[ripe spire]

sim r u proud of me, my gpu hit a power draw of 469W today

[true stirrup]

Now get onto 3DMark TimeSpy leaderboard 💯

Firefox is like

current oc settings

[random gyro]

I love firefox
Its chrome but not google

[stiff dagger]

Well, I'm from Spain and I'm going to spend almost 2 years in the USA, so I thought that maybe it could be recommended. Battery is dead btw

[brave brook]

man, i hated how bad initial prices of 7900 XTX were

[tidal geyser]

it was still like 1.5X cheaper then the 4080 at least for me

[ripe spire]

no, im on 3d mark demo, i dont spend money on games, let alone random apps i will very infrequently use 🤣

[steel umbra]

sure, what about other brands, samsung doesn’t have the best budget phones

[zinc widget]

Will say Firefox has an amazing AMOLED theme I used once.

[brave brook]

when i was looking at buying upgrade from my 2080 TI, i looked at 4080 Super and 7900 XTX. 4080 Super was 1050 euros, 7900 XTX was 1000 euros. Difference too small to consider the 7900 XTX when i am paying that much

[tidal geyser]

still chromium based

[brave brook]

just don't try to do gradients on FIrefox 😄

[steel umbra]

how to start an argument in a tech server:

[cedar hollow]

it don’t work that way lil bro

[steel umbra]

i commented

[stiff dagger]

Yeah... but I found it for 300€
I have also seen the Xiaomi 14T for the same (maybe now is a bit more expensive). But mainly because I prefer using the same phone during 5-6 or even more years. And samsung gives a lot of software support
