[clear canyon]

like 70

[true stirrup]

Note my camera isn't the best the blacks are actually darker irl
And the black spot in the middle is my reflection lol

[strange atlas]

Huh is this monitor actually working no way

[dusky crest]

How tf if it das a tdp of 120w?

[strange atlas]

It looks like you didnt power on the monitor

I hope when i move to ips it will also look like this

[true stirrup]

24 hours of pure black YouTube video

[strange atlas]

God damn

I'm even more hyped now

[true stirrup]

You can see that the anti glare on it is okay
On black you can see reflections like my closet and me

[fallen sky]

this is insane

[azure void]

i have the msi mag 256f idk if its just me but i feel some latency in this monitor

[rigid fjord]

you give a cat or a dog facial massages and they're putty in your hands

[brave brook]

why does that video even exist. Do people not know how to make a full black static picture ?

[fallen sky]

funnies

[strange atlas]

What the hell there is an also hdr on it?

[true stirrup]

I mean it full screens so the windows bar disappears

[strange atlas]

i really liked how hdr looked on ps

[tired bear]

do you have HDR on?

[azure void]

theres alot of things that shouldnt exist

[true stirrup]

It's off

[true stirrup]

Yeah but it's only HDR400 so nothing that good

[strange atlas]

oh dont know about them

i have only seen that ps one that was so good

the level of contrast were great

Apparently its better not to use it :d

[tired bear]

i like it on my display

[true stirrup]

I mean I can test it tomorrow
One of my friends just prefers HDR400 over SDR

So I guess it's personal preference

[strange atlas]

my monitor doesnt have it currently

[fallen sky]

[strange atlas]

yeah sure thank you

I will buy it tomorrow then

[fallen sky]

Prices going up, performance going down

[strange atlas]

that is good thoguh

not the same as i have seen in that picture

[tired bear]

downside of having HDR is that it does make screenshot colors look wierd

[clear canyon]

what is this??? a bot sent me this 😭

[left dove]

use win+g

instead of win+shift+s

for hdr

[true stirrup]

Yeah but isn't that just a windows issue

[azure void]

hdr aint that good imo

[strange atlas]

i have seen a hdr on linuses video it was so nice

[left dove]

😂

[true stirrup]

There was a guy here a couple of days ago writing a whole documentation about how windows doesn't handle HDR right

[tired bear]

on oleds it is amazing

[azure void]

this is crazy

[azure void]

yeah it better be good if i spend like 800 bucks

[strange atlas]

I feel like i'm being dumb getting an high priced 1440p ips monitor at 2025

o led is there but like damn its more then double the price man :8

[tired bear]

how much did you spend on it?

[tidal geyser]

i sadly do not have a kitty or any other animals

cant even get one if i wanted one since i am in a apartment that does not allow em

[azure void]

not having a car in the big 25 is diabolical

[tidal geyser]

i also do not have a car

also me is not 25

me cant even drive alone

[azure void]

i also dont have a car

but i have a car

[strange atlas]

I didnt get it but i will get Lenovo Legion R27QE tomorrow its 233 dollars

[random gyro]

i forgot about this.

thanks!!

[strange atlas]

mate you are turkish

[azure void]

i mean car as in cat

[tired bear]

it is 160 from lenovo

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-monkey-fall-gif-20880483

[strange atlas]

yeah not same as turkey

[tired bear]

ah

[azure void]

its 205 on a different website

[tired bear]

i have bought Dell G2724D
good stuff

[azure void]

https://www.hepsiburada.com/lenovo-legion-r27qe-27-2k-180hz-0-5ms-monitor-67c5gac1tk-p-HBCV00006ZZZ54?magaza=Hepsiburada&wt_pc=akakce&adj_t=1fmpah5v_1fmqteof&adj_campaign=akakce&utm_source=pc&utm_medium=akakce&v=1.68.7

[frail topaz]

i need a good monitor for like $160-170 cz im wanting to get 2

[strange atlas]

i will buy at teknosa hepsiburada doesnt accept my refunds

[left dove]

Need a tissue?

[strange atlas]

i do actually

[left dove]

😂

[azure void]

still i wouldnt pay extra $30

[strange atlas]

i'm paying that much for a thing and then they come up to me like one pixel doesnt determine the whole product

[tired bear]

cant you return a product no questions asked (within 14 days?)

[strange atlas]

And that is my current monitor VG24VQr

[brave brook]

ah yes, because one can't fullscreen a picture (hint, F11 in browser for example)

[strange atlas]

i mean sure but if they dont accept your reason you have/had to go to consumer rights place and that is too much work and doesnt give you what you want all of the times

[true stirrup]

Okay yeah that would work lol

[strange atlas]

i also bought desk and i installed it from hepsiburada and 2 of the legs were shorter they also didnt accept that i was so freaking mad now my desk shakes like crazy

[azure void]

nice

[clear canyon]

no, not nice

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/hobbit-confused-gollum-what-is-it-gif-3417029

[strange atlas]

wait how do you import

and how are you sure it wont get stuck in borders

[azure void]

amazon

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[clear canyon]

import brings in, so thats custom fees

[strange atlas]

after you pay it can still stuck

depends on the product and border control

[clear canyon]

thats not what custom fees are for

[azure void]

you pay the custom fees to the seller dont you

or amazon

idk

[strange atlas]

Yes you do but it still gets stuck my Deco 01 v2 did got stuck

[true stirrup]

I only had to pay customs fees once and it was on a Pokémon card box I imported from the UK and the customs miss weighed the box and wrote that is weighed ~2 tons

[frail topaz]

customs here are simple - 20% of the value of the product goes to the state

[azure void]

how much did they ask for

[strange atlas]

do not remember but turkey were cheap at the time

[azure void]

i dont remember turkey being cheap

[strange atlas]

really really cheap like dollar were 7 at the time now its 36.4

[frail topaz]

but you can usually ask the seller to change the priice of the product to something about ~40EUR so you pay less (the customs fee only applies to products <20EUR)_

[mellow shadow]

Is there any hope that the 9070XT will fall back to MSRP or close?

[frail topaz]

maybe in the following months

[strange atlas]

@azure void Did you make any purchases from aliexpress

[mellow shadow]

Months

[tired bear]

years even

[azure void]

yes

[abstract wigeon]

im guessing years

[frail topaz]

the way id pay this price like right now if it was in stock

[frail topaz]

????? of course not

maybe in the next 2 months or so, GDDR6 isnt hard to produce, theyve been doing it for years

[strange atlas]

did you pay any feet i'm planning to get vxe r1 from aliexpress

[frail topaz]

Unlike some certain green folk i know

[strange atlas]

no its not feet i forgot what its called

[abstract wigeon]

doubt

its scalpers that are the issue not production imo

[frail topaz]

why its just logical facts lol

[azure void]

just get one from wraith

[strange atlas]

everytime i check its like this

[abstract wigeon]

i mean maybe less than a year for amd, but 50 series it will take years i reckon

[frail topaz]

if production ramped up scalpers wouldnt be a thing because people would just buy from the source

[frail topaz]

you say it will take years when the 60 series is gonna come out in 2 years lol

[abstract wigeon]

also doesnt help that there is no 'founders edition' 9070xt to set a baseline

[azure void]

it probably wouldnt be a problem

[frail topaz]

im also wondering why amd didnt make a reference card this time

[abstract wigeon]

• 50 series launches
• 40 series is more expensive than msrp

[frail topaz]

ofc lol because the production of 40 series stopped

[azure void]

thats crazy

[strange atlas]

got it thank you i'm hoping for the best it wont stuck at border

[abstract wigeon]

so will 50 series? it will repeat itself

[tired bear]

gotta reuse that fab capacity for ai datacenter cards

[frail topaz]

nvidia did it this year, because unlike with the 30 seires, when they pushed the 40 series out and kept producing the 30 series, the 30 seirse got so cheap that people were buying 3090s

[frail topaz]

i dont blame them for it, 90ish% of their revenue is from AI, AI got them where they are now

[clear canyon]

3090s are great, i love mine 😄

[abstract wigeon]

yeah they have no incentive to help out prices on the gaming cards

[glad fog]

i mean already 2 months ago the prices went sky high

[frail topaz]

of course they dont, because they dont CARE

[glad fog]

for most 40 series anyway

[frail topaz]

why WOULD they care

[glad fog]

of course they did because the 4070 super outcompetes the 5070 lol

[frail topaz]

nvidia's revenue is like so fucking enormous now that they wouldnt care for a little bit of revenue that they could make from some gaming cards where they are making BILLIONS of dollars producing & selling workstation & AI cards to companies/enthusiasts

[tired bear]

ill just buy 30 series then

[frail topaz]

i have like 4 3090's locally for $500

[dawn tundra]

Is there any way to use my spare router to convert my current Wi-Fi connection into a 2.4 GHz connection for my PSP to unlock a few features

[mellow shadow]

Isn’t gaming like 7% of their business now?

[frail topaz]

your current wifi router should have an option to make 2 wifi networks on 2 bands

[clear canyon]

I want a 2nd fe lmao, but me as no money for it. it all went to my minibike

[frail topaz]

probably even less

[dawn tundra]

Hell I forgot about that

[frail topaz]

a FE here is like 480 something dollars

No

[dawn tundra]

Yeah what do you want

Sent

[frail topaz]

Ooo what bike did u get

[azure void]

3090 is goated

[fathom igloo]

Thank you

[frail topaz]

here hold on ill show yall the local 3090's

[dawn tundra]

I got a Honda Shadow saber 2003 1100 cc for about $1,000 and then put about 1,500 into repairing it

[frail topaz]

TUF 3090 for $470

[clear canyon]

I built me a minibike. It has a stage 3 predator 212 on an Axis m200 frame 😄

[frail topaz]

FE 3090 for $500

[clear canyon]

It has a torque converter too

[tired bear]

would

[frail topaz]

👀 👀 👀 👀 how does it ride?

msi trio 3090 for 500

another FE for 500

[azure void]

does the 3090 perform better than 9070 xt

[ocean axle]

no

[azure void]

oh

[frail topaz]

sadly not

[clear canyon]

its really good tbh, its built for trails for my area but it can go up to 60mph if needed. it has alot of torque lmao

[ocean axle]

but it has more vram, and is nvidia

[frail topaz]

this cool ass 3090 for 500

[left dove]

24gb, mmh

[azure void]

nvidia has aura

[frail topaz]

suprim 3090 for $550

[azure void]

''and is nvidia''

[left dove]

so much opencl compute

god i cant wait for mine, I'm finally gonna have rebarrrr

[ocean axle]

nvidia has proprietary APIs that a lot of software uses

[frail topaz]

how much worse than the 9070xt is the 3090

[ocean axle]

the fact that nvidia has vendor lockin is a horrific thing, but is also reality

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/encadenado-cage-steelwire-gif-13378949

[strange atlas]

I know i'm playing too much but should i get a system upgrade over 1440p monitor its 230 dollars or i should get the monitor

[azure void]

feet

[clear canyon]

ok?

[frail topaz]

lol i found a GTX 950 for $30

[strange atlas]

uhm are you into that

[left dove]

what is it with you dorks and feet

[frail topaz]

imagine lol

[strange atlas]

i'm also trying to understand

[frail topaz]

RTX4060 for $250

[strange atlas]

every time you can see feet of someone there is feet lovers there

[azure void]

jfc enough with the shitposting

[clear canyon]

im watchin this anime rn and its so funny

[frail topaz]

B850M board + 7500F + 32GB ram for 550$

not a bad deal actually tho.

[vale girder]

why is norway so weird

[shell linden]

Is a used 3070 for 300usd a good deal?

[clear canyon]

yes

[vale girder]

norway prices so weird T_T

78 dollar difference between 9070 xt and 5070 ti is crazy

[shell linden]

Is it a too good to be true good deal??

[clear canyon]

no, just check the seller out and see if they are sketchy

[gloomy sleet]

(its lapis)

[random gyro]

meh

[vale girder]

i hear all the nvidia hate in the us but like over here nvidia prices are deadass better than amd xD

[true stirrup]

It's not just Norway
This is called scalping and it's happening everywhere

[azure void]

yep

[vale girder]

im finding rtx 5080 at msrp

which is just weird

[shell linden]

He seems legit

[versed quest]

What’s y’all’s opinion on UW Monitors they worth the money?

[azure void]

but ur not finding an 9070 xt at msrp

[vale girder]

definitely not. its 200 over msrp

[azure void]

thats still crazy tho id cop

[true stirrup]

I hope your pillow is warm tonight

[frail topaz]

okay can we chill with the shitposting

[clear canyon]

yeah its getting annoying

[vale girder]

the rtx 5080 is 1358 dollars and if you remove the 25% added VAT it becomes 1003 dollars xD

[azure void]

this aint my video i never ate crab*

[plain cypress]

<@&750150305383186585>s the shitposting is out of control

[spiral narwhal]

are there any prebuilts right now with new GPUs? My friend refuses to build his own PC or let me help him build one

[clear canyon]

leave him be then

[plain cypress]

And some of these might be crossing the line

[frail topaz]

im so torn about getting a 3090FE for 500$ or waiting a couple months and getting a 9070xt new for like 700

[gloomy sleet]

mods

nuke his general location

[azure void]

extreme

[rapid quarry]

You are running on borrowed time with the mods

Be careful

[true stirrup]

And now there is racism
This chat is getting nuked

[frail topaz]

@clear canyon what do we think

[plain cypress]

Langley wya bro?

[frail topaz]

Langley is 💤

[plain cypress]

We should all ping mods multiple times

[frail topaz]

Let em breathe

[gloomy sleet]

nah marvel characters are just generally pretty shit

modern marvel films are kinda ass

[clear canyon]

well a 9070xt is better than a 3090 in gaming, if you are just gaming, amd, if you need vram for something like ai, go 3090. Also, if you get the 3090, I highly recommend repasting and redoing the pads as nvidia fucked the pads at launch, it makes the vram get stupid hot

[true stirrup]

Did you watch the video? It only showed black characters

[rapid quarry]

You are not above rule 4 <@&750150305383186585> . Say your last words before getting sent to the shadow realm

[plain cypress]

Second ping

[gloomy sleet]

i did not

[frail topaz]

i mean i dont do particularly heavy gaming, i play like minecraft, GTAV, assetto corsa, forza horizon 4 & 5, cyberpunk2077 etc

[plain cypress]

Shits getting serious

[gloomy sleet]

also why did it auto correct hust to hustlers and not just

[clear canyon]

3090 kinda sucks for cyberpunk if you plan to use raytracing

[south arrow]

[true stirrup]

Hello Wormm!

We can cleanse harder

[frail topaz]

???????

[gloomy sleet]

only games you need

[rapid quarry]

I recommend taking a break and stop sending gifs for now

[clear canyon]

cpu issue maybe

[gloomy sleet]

honestly if i only had assetto corsa with mods and no other game id be happy

[frail topaz]

9800x3d?

[clear canyon]

it can still bottleneck it

just an thought

[azure void]

he was literally sending racist shitposts

[frail topaz]

still getting perforamnce almost on par with the 5080 is a WIN in my books.

[azure void]

thats prolly why

[spring carbon]

Wait what does quick start mode mean on the monitor?

[frail topaz]

Starts quickly

[spring carbon]

Ok

[clear canyon]

that cpu does not exsist

[vale girder]

wait no aint 3090 TI for 1100 a good bargain? used tho

[clear canyon]

no? again it does not exsist

[grizzled parcel]

@clear canyon @frail topaz @elder quarry @left dove after many ANGRY ANGRY hours of researching I've managed to figure out why my wifi and bluetooth werent working (supposedly)

[south arrow]

[balmy mural]

I just picked up a 9950x3d today on Amazon

[azure void]

geforce 256

[grizzled parcel]

I never thought to consider that it was actually solely my motherboards fault that it wasn't working, so I googled the issue to see if other people using my motherboard type were having the same issue

[azure void]

and intel 4004

pretty good combo

[grizzled parcel]

And guess what? WiFi 7 and the latest bluetooth that comes with the dongles for it are not supported by Windows 10

So you HAVE to upgarde to windows 11 or else no fucking wifi for you or bluetooth either because fuck you

[true stirrup]

I hope you do some productivity work and not just gaming

[left dove]

just fuckin' upgrade, dude

[frail topaz]

i thoughtyou were on 11 lol i knew this wouldnt work on 10

[balmy mural]

Yeah I do bits of both

[grizzled parcel]

I hate the windows 11 layout though it sucks so bad 😭 😭 it looks like a fucking mac bro

And I dont like how BRIGHT it is

[left dove]

so?

there's a fucking dark mode

[true stirrup]

Fair then because 9800x3D beats the 9950x3D in gaming

[frail topaz]

HOLD ON

[left dove]

that's the lamest excuse

holy shit

[balmy mural]

Yep. I use my cores haha

TRY THESE @grizzled parcel

[rapid quarry]

This is weird. I lost my trial of Nitro bout a week ago and I still have the fancy app icon. I just find it interesting

[ocean axle]

matches*

[grizzled parcel]

Are these third party? It looks straight from the ASUS website

[frail topaz]

they are not no

[grizzled parcel]

If its realtek, it wont work

[frail topaz]

but try them just try them its from asus

[true stirrup]

Doesn't it depend on the game?

[grizzled parcel]

Realtek drivers are made purely to be broken

[frail topaz]

its specifically made for windows 10 only

[grizzled parcel]

Ye but I tried the realtek drivers they dont work, people on the reddit forums and the ROG forums report this aswell

[ocean axle]

the 9950x3d is technically faster iirc, but the 9800x3d is very very close, in general its fair to say matches, afaik

[frail topaz]

just try them, if they dont work then upgrade

[inner veldt]

Is Samsung Odyssey G61SD OLED good pick?

[frail topaz]

get warshipped

[inner veldt]

I need good OLED display 1440p

[grizzled parcel]

Bro I got hit by the spam bot

[true stirrup]

Ah okay I thought 2 CCDs made the 9950x3D a bit worse

[frail topaz]

cause its baller and fucking fire

[grizzled parcel]

Only mediatek and whatever custom shit ASUS came up with work (ONLY ON WIN10 THOUGH) but Ill try it at the very least @frail topaz

[inner veldt]

Why not

[grizzled parcel]

But in all honesty im probably looking at windows 10

[balmy mural]

I've got a 9070xt I need to shove in a build I just haven't decided on the cpu yet

[ocean axle]

because the x3d die clocks so much higher now than it used to, its not nearly as much of an issue, though i wont say its a non-issue entirely (for windows)
linux it kinda just works

[grizzled parcel]

I dont like how quickly support for windows 10 was dropped, like, support dropped so quickly that you cant even use technology made a year after windows 11 released without it breaking

Its all apart of microsofts Windows upscaling

[true stirrup]

Okay got it

[ionic robin]

how

[true stirrup]

Scroll up a bit

[inner veldt]

Which one

[cyan bay]

why does undervolting ur gpu get u more fps?

[ocean axle]

because thread scheduling bullshit that cant happen on the 9800x3d

[frail topaz]

wild

[true stirrup]

Less heat

[cyan bay]

really?

[grizzled parcel]

We've got Nvidia AI upscaling, AMD MSRP upscaling, forced Windows OS upscaling, im just loving all these advances in modern technology the past few years @frail topaz

[frail topaz]

less heat -> higher clocks -> more fps

[ionic robin]

"I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need" except replace the word dollar with frame

[cyan bay]

so like do u suggest undervolting my gpu? cause I think it's hot

[frail topaz]

tell me about it

[true stirrup]

What temps?

[cyan bay]

usually stays at 80above when im playing games

[lapis condor]

That's normal but you can undervolt anyway

[true stirrup]

That's fine

[cyan bay]

my cpu is 77

[grizzled parcel]

I cant wait for CUDA to release its new Scalper upscaling technology

[cyan bay]

so not suggested?

[frail topaz]

what the FUCK are you doing in 7z peyton.

[true stirrup]

Refer to what Sy said

[grizzled parcel]

We NEED MORE

[left dove]

compressing to nas

archiving :3

[cyan bay]

already did and also got a new cpu cooler it's when im playing monster hunter wilds which is cpu intensive

[frail topaz]

ok fair enough then opinion valid

[cyan bay]

would I get better performance or not quite?

[grizzled parcel]

btw anybody know a way to make windows 11's task bar look aesthetically more like windows 10?

[frail topaz]

trusty gtx 1050

[cyan bay]

I dont know how I bought it for second hand

[grizzled parcel]

its like totally a personal preference thing

[frail topaz]

get used to it, its fine

[lapis condor]

Undervolting is always nice to do
Less heat, higher frequency

[left dove]

group taskbar icons to left = true

[true stirrup]

Mine is currently borrowed to a friend

[grizzled parcel]

oh wow that's real?

[left dove]

like theres settings for all of this shit

[grizzled parcel]

ok i guess windows 11 is fine

[left dove]

YES ITS REAL

[cyan bay]

wait I dont quite understand undervolting? what's the pros and cons abt it?

[left dove]

oh my fucking god

[frail topaz]

or at least the community pressured microsoft into making them, i remember launch windows 11 was a HELLFIRE

[cyan bay]

I don't know how to repaste it

[left dove]

win11 is def community-shaped

[frail topaz]

we thank god for that, but there's the obvious microsoft bloat everywhere and anywhere

[cyan bay]

but it's working good I think temps are 70-80 when playing games

[ripe spire]

When’s windows 12 coming out

[frail topaz]

sometime in the next 3-4 years id assume

[grizzled parcel]

I was apart of the first to flock to windows 11 when it first came out and I hated the UI and never kept track of it after I reverted back to windows 10 and lost almost all my data

[left dove]

let me ask my magic 8-ball (it's drugs)

[balmy mural]

Has someone been able to get the task bar to move to the sides or top yet on windows 11?

[frail topaz]

Hell yeah

[cyan bay]

ahh but why does some get more fps though, I quite don't understand it..

[grizzled parcel]

What are the potential side effects of upscaling my windows OS?

[ripe spire]

Bloody genius /s
Fair enough

[grizzled parcel]

Will any programs stop working?

[grizzled parcel]

will armoury crate somehow break like it always does?

[frail topaz]

95% of programs recognize windows 11 as windows 10, so id assume not

[frail topaz]

my armoury crate works just fine™️

[quick stag]

yoo

[frail topaz]

on linux its just sudo ufw disable

[quick stag]

spent too much time today again

[grizzled parcel]

tfw your armoury crate doesn't downscale your TUF 870 PLUS motherboard and mistake it for a ROG Z370-F

this was a real issue btw till I fixed it trying to fix my wifi 7

[frail topaz]

my armoury crate only does shit with my keyboard so

[lapis condor]

Why do you have it installed

[true stirrup]

On windows even if I disable it it still doesn't let my app through 🥲

[quick stag]

(raspberry pi 2b with a mini external display running dash.fm-improved)

[frail topaz]

its really not if you know what youre doing

[lapis condor]

Piece of shit malware that fucks with your registry and usually ends up bricking your windows install

[grizzled parcel]

I thought I could be a cheapskate and not go through the process of having to use a USB to update my chipset

[lapis condor]

What

[rapid quarry]

That’s a big ask

[lapis condor]

Chipset drivers can be installed like any other drivers

[frail topaz]

what were you trying to install

[lapis condor]

BIOS updates should always be done through the BIOS or via BIOS flashback

[grizzled parcel]

Only if you have MyAsus or armoury crate

[left dove]

people want the toddler experience, though

[cyan bay]

@true stirrup do u suggest saving up and if I could find 9070xt for msrp get it?

[grizzled parcel]

otherwise you need to use a USB

[lapis condor]

What?
No?
You go to the AMD website
You download the chipset drivers
You install them

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah but you gotta use a USB... Wait, did you NOT have to do allat?

[lapis condor]

No lmao
You do not have to use a USB to install drivers kek

[frail topaz]

only drivers id get from my motherboard's manufacturer are the stupid ass propriotary software because everything else is straight from AMD

[grizzled parcel]

Well shit

[frail topaz]

like?????

[true stirrup]

If the 3060ti you just bought isn't good enough for you sure

[lapis condor]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/chipsets/am5/b650.html

Like
It's right there

You download it and run it

[cyan bay]

oh shi nevermind I can never find msrp here in Philippines especially because of tax

[grizzled parcel]

bruh LOL

[frail topaz]

such very simple:

wget https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.deb
sudo apt install ./Minecraft.deb -y

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/w3dVNS5VdcA?si=0VG0Bo4cx513InpT

lol. I turned off Apple Intelligence

[frail topaz]

there is no fix its just plain ass

[distant frigate]

Just annoying and bleh

[frail topaz]

or if you dont like doing it via apt

sudo dpkg -i ./Minecraft.deb

man ive been so stressed tonight I just feel like scalping 20 4090s as stress relief and pricing them so high nobody will buy them and then taking a screenshot of the 4090s which I PUT ON SALE and posting it on reddit to complain about scalpers type feeling

that's how I feel rn

[azure topaz]

it literally is user error tthats the kicker

[balmy mural]

I'm so glad I was able to pick up a 4090 for around AIB MSRP last year.

[frail topaz]

⬆️

[azure topaz]

😭

[balmy mural]

Nah I just saved a couple pay checks in anticipation haha.

[azure topaz]

should i do anything to this firewall that isnt firewall things

[frail topaz]

is that a mikrotik

seems like a familiar design

what did it do to you

[rapid quarry]

Sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)

[grizzled parcel]

btw why are GPUs just so scarce? like it might sound dumb but usually in any given tech store there's only 20 parts of any specific kind of GPU, its just so easily scalped, you'd think an industry with a total net worth larger then that of Japans entire GDP would build adequate manufactoring infrastructure and make enough more GPUs to cushion the scalpers

[azure topaz]

it’s a glorified router bro

[frail topaz]

scalpers + no production

GDDR7 is hell to produce on the nvidia side and AMD are producing just slowly

[grizzled parcel]

why dont they just use their trillions to produce more next quarter?

[true stirrup]

I've been fighting the windows one for 2h now
I want to defenestrate myself

[frail topaz]

because (for nvidia) they dont care, they dont want to produce any more gaming cards because they make 95% of their profit from workstation/enterprise cards for shit like AI so they dont care on putting more effort into producing consumer cards because it doesnt net them profit

[grizzled parcel]

like ik in factories making a working GPU or CPU is like going to a casino and cashing out cheques from a casino machine

but like jsut make more factories

[frail topaz]

@grizzled parcel

[grizzled parcel]

the only reason nvidia even has a monopoly over AI shit is cuz nobody knew how to do it until like 10 chinese companies figured out how to make an AI using raspberry pi's and fucking MACs

like after deepseek the next AI to overtake it was another chinese AI, then anothe chinese AI overtook that one

its like a china vs china AI arms race now

just overnight

i wonder if nvidia ever recovered from that

[frail topaz]

still, they arent efficient but nvidia is still the backbone of deepseek, they are also using nvidia cards, noone does AI like nvidia, nvidia is the giant of ai and will continue to be for a long time, AMD has stepped down, they realised they cant compete with the absolute giant that nvidia is, nvidia was the nr 2 company in the whole world before deepseek, now its nr 3, STILL with a market cap of around 3.4T

[grizzled parcel]

tbh we need skynet actually

and give me control of skynet

so I can create terminators to create camping tents outside of microcenters around the globe

and SCALP all of nvidias GPUs

[frail topaz]

just look at this chart (nvidia stock over a lot of years)

[balmy mural]

Man 9070XT launch day was so much nicer than the horror stories Ive heard from Nvidias launch day

[grizzled parcel]

[frail topaz]

[grizzled parcel]

Wasnt deepseek not even made using the GPUs made for windows and linux?

Wasn't it all done on apples hardware?

[frail topaz]

No it was made using lower grade nvidia hardware

[grizzled parcel]

I thought deepseek worked only using the M.2

[frail topaz]

2200 Nvidia H800 GPU's to be exact

[grizzled parcel]

rapberry pi super computer

but its GPUs instead

[plush wren]

thats my graphics card

[grizzled parcel]

scalped + resold for 10 thousand USD a pop

[frail topaz]

it is WAAAAAAAAY more than 10000 USD

[grizzled parcel]

ik?

im the one selling em on ebay after all

[frail topaz]

almost 30k

[plain cypress]

4 hbm channels and 2 spacers?

[frail topaz]

compared to the gpus that a giant like openai uses, yes

[distant frigate]

Lmao Genmoji

Look soo bad.

[trail kelp]

need a laptop for phd. Some data computing but will have access to more powerful machines. is this a good buy? 1100$

[distant frigate]

Honestly just have the AI stuff be run on the cloud. Local AI on a smartphone turns out to be trash

[grizzled parcel]

Nvidia shills breathing in the smoke coming out of their RTX 6090 after buying it for an upscaled MSRP of 10 trillion dollars:

[azure void]

[distant frigate]

I just don’t think smartphones have a processor powerful enough to run local AI that’s actually good

[grizzled parcel]

im actually so fucking sad to see windows 10 go

[frail topaz]

chatgpt4-turbo was trained with this, which is close to what deepseek was trained on, but openai used more than 30000 of these gpus

[grizzled parcel]

fuckkkkk

windows 10 you've been so good to me

[frail topaz]

GPT-5+ are gonna use the B100

[grizzled parcel]

goodbye...

[distant frigate]

Exactly

The servers can do most of the heavy lifting with the AI

[frail topaz]

Goodnight

[grizzled parcel]

BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU DONT ACTUALLY OWN WINDOWS 11 YOU'RE JUST LEASING IT AND WE'RE ALSO GONNA TAKE ALL UR DATA CUZ IT BELONGS TO US NOT YOU #GETFUCKED #WINDOWS11FOREVER is probably whatever this shit is saying

[frail topaz]

windows 11 is NOT that bad dude calm down

[grizzled parcel]

im tweaking out dude

[sick pollen]

Honestly what doesn't take your data nowadays

[grizzled parcel]

its the operating system ive been using ever since I was a CHILD man

its my childhood

now... im a 19 year old manchild

[deft lynx]

Quick question, new GPU just playing PUBG and was getting purple flashes on my screen... could it be a dodgy card?

[grizzled parcel]

and its just... im losing a part of my SOUL

[frail topaz]

could be, check your drivers for any updates

[gloomy sleet]

you chose to use windows 11

[deft lynx]

all up to date, no issues for the start of the week only just happening in the last game i played

[gloomy sleet]

you could of just not done that?

[frail topaz]

he has to, certain drivers are fucky on windows 10

[grizzled parcel]

half of the features on my PC are literally unusable if i dont use windows 11

im being held at gunpoint

[gloomy sleet]

why do you have to use windows 10

[gloomy sleet]

like?

[frail topaz]

wifi7

[frail topaz]

???? what are you saying

[gloomy sleet]

why aren’t you using ethernet?

[gloomy sleet]

linux is always an option

[grizzled parcel]

ASUS decided "what would be the worst thing ever to do to our customers? yeah fucking RANSOMWARE" so bluetooth and wifi 7 and the advertised speeds of shit on my PC arent being met cuz im using an operating system that's been oudated for around a year

[gloomy sleet]

linux doesn’t have this issue

[grizzled parcel]

no wonder my PC was tweaking out when I upgraded my ASUS motherboard

it was warning me

[frail topaz]

yeah so

[grizzled parcel]

that's cuz linux doesn't have linux 2 yet

[gloomy sleet]

asus drivers are definitely available open source

[gloomy sleet]

what?

[grizzled parcel]

the only reason this is happening is cuz a new version of windows is out

god knows why, what even was windows justification for this?

[gloomy sleet]

ok so upgrade to the new version or don’t use windows?

[grizzled parcel]

yeah that's the plan

[gloomy sleet]

i like windows 11 i think it’s pretty cool

[gloomy sleet]

so what’s the issue????

[grizzled parcel]

i really liked windows 10

im sad to see it go

and I dont like being forced to do things

[gloomy sleet]

i think windows 11 is better in most aspects

[grizzled parcel]

I think the UIs worse imo

[gloomy sleet]

you can use the windows 10 ui on windows 11

also the ui is better in file explorer

[grizzled parcel]

windows 10 UI was like, less aesthetic and more militaristic

[gloomy sleet]

you can use the windows 10 ui in windows 11

[grizzled parcel]

yeah i suppose there's that

im gonna give my windows 10 OS a proper farewell before I upgrade it

[gloomy sleet]

also stock windows 11 ui is just better then the windows 10 ui imo

[grizzled parcel]

i dont wanna be TIRED when it goes so imma sleep first

[grizzled parcel]

they ripped it off apple bruh...

[gloomy sleet]

what?

[grizzled parcel]

u cannot be saying this 💔

[gloomy sleet]

the stock w11 ui is pretty good idk what you mean

[grizzled parcel]

ye lets have all the crap in the middle of the screen and have the taskbar expand as you open new apps so when there's a buncha applications opening cuz you're a modder, a developer, a server hoster or are just extracting a massive file

[high elm]

ur comparing every single similarity

[grizzled parcel]

you're constantly misclicking on shit

[high elm]

your basically saying “amd copied nvidia”

because they also make gpus

[grizzled parcel]

I think the new task bar was 100% inspired from apple

[high elm]

just dont think so much about it

[grizzled parcel]

like how AMD renamed their shit to the 9070 yk?

[high elm]

and just use the bloody os

[high elm]

u care too much

i just use the product

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1149324468037095434/1349091067538182164/attachment.gif

[grizzled parcel]

like its just such a weird change in aesthetics compared to previous windows versions its obviously taken off apple\

there's no way to prove this (obviously)

but like i feel like its true

[high elm]

just use the bloody product and stop wasting time with trying to find out who copied who lol

[plush wren]

good and bad mindset at the same time

[high elm]

nah for superfluous shit like this its such a waste of time

[plush wren]

sure but i meant in like general xd

[high elm]

ye

[plush wren]

[grizzled parcel]

its just a bad UI design in general even ignoring that its 100% inspired from the apple OS

the only reason they added the option to change the taskbar was cuz of the backlash from people like me

[high elm]

too bad youre forced to use it

[grizzled parcel]

yeah

i guess

[plush wren]

well not yet

you can still use win10 until eol ig

[high elm]

i mean yeah but hes gonna be forced to use it sooner or later

[grizzled parcel]

i am gonna sleep it was actually so disapppointing spending all night troubleshooting trying to figure out why my PC was broken only to realize it wasn't my fault or the hardwares fault and it was just cuz I wasn't using windows 11

[plush wren]

true

[grizzled parcel]

they dropped windows 10 faster then nvidia dropped physX

[plush wren]

cant wait to have to get used to the shit ux 🔥

might be copium due to change

[grizzled parcel]

they told us windows 10 was the last windows

it was just the last windows + 1 ig

guess we're the last windows 10 users using the last windows OS + 1 @plush wren

guess you could say we're... heh... the last of us...

[versed quest]

As a first-time builder, which of these graphics cards would be a better choice?

• GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC V2 12G

•GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC 16G
Graphics Card

[plush wren]

oled laptop sounds fire

[lapis condor]

That price for a 5070 Ti is a little atrocious

[lapis condor]

Me when there are so, so many things to do to win 11 to make it look like win 10

[plain cypress]

Yet someone will buy it

[plush wren]

my bad i dont use windows 11 to know about that 💔

[versed quest]

Doesn’t answer my question which is a better option?

[dawn tundra]

Honestly when it comes to moving files around I've actually been able to do it much quicker with 11 it's just a bit more intuitive to me

[lapis condor]

5070 Ti performs significantly better

[cinder raptor]

Windows 10 is 10 years old this year. I wouldn't call that fast

[grizzled parcel]

Yeah but like there were alternatives to physX out longer then windows 11 has been out but support for physX continued

Its a bad analogy tho cuz physX is baked into games

And theres no physX 2 to seamlessly upgrade to (seamless as in the code)

Not sure why they needed a whole new operating system even though its basically the same code though

[cinder raptor]

Physx still exists as well. It was only 32 bit support that was dropped

[grizzled parcel]

They gotta fix that bro...

[cinder raptor]

Not much uses 32 bit anymore

That would be on the game devs to update their old games

[cinder raptor]

Also, security features and many other back-end changes for 10 to 11. Doesn't necessarily mean 11 is good but there are many changes.

[grizzled parcel]

Arma 3?

Its still a massive game

[cinder raptor]

12 years old

Skyrim was originally 32 bit. They updated that in the newer versions

Also arma 3 was updated to 64 bit years ago?

[grizzled parcel]

Nah thats still in beta

[azure topaz]

you can turn off physx

[grizzled parcel]

Its the performance profiling build

[grizzled parcel]

Any downsides?

[azure topaz]

you end up with a better looking game cause most physx is gross?

[trim flicker]

Meow

[cinder raptor]

Or just dont use 5000 series card for the game

[azure topaz]

just turn off physx

i dont think you guys realise how little games it was an and how little of those had a good implementation

[cinder raptor]

Made water look nasty in borderlands 2

[azure topaz]

and elemeental effects

and it was fps based in bl2 preetty sure so the waving things would be faster than intended

[steel umbra]

[azure topaz]

it was just not good

[serene plover]

What are good 77in-97in oled 4k Tv?

[steel umbra]

[steel umbra]

[zinc widget]

I’m upgrading at 3600 X machine to a 5800 XT. Is the hyper 212 that it has already good enough?

[cyan bay]

yo

[steel umbra]

yes

[cyan bay]

so someone wants to trade me their 6600 for my 3060ti(he adds cash btw)

[trim flicker]

Hello

[cyan bay]

so like how much should I ask

[zinc widget]

Thanks they’re only $175 right now at Best Buy, which honestly is better than a 5700 X 3D at like 250 right now

[steel umbra]

what about used

[zinc widget]

I’m limited to stuff I can get by Friday

[steel umbra]

how’s the 5700X price

[zinc widget]

And the 3600x has right now is putting a big bottleneck on the 5700 XTGPU

[steel umbra]

5700 xt? which game

[zinc widget]

Mostly newer stuff. He plays high refresh rate 1440p.

[steel umbra]

on average that’s a fine cpu for the 5700 xt if you don’t play simulators such as beamng you’re fine not upgrading yet

[steel umbra]

even less of a reason to get a better cpu, which games

[zinc widget]

Right now, the GPU market is insane. We’re considering a GPU upgrade once it cools down.

once it cools down, we’re probably gonna upgrade it to a 9070 XT or 5070 ti

[steel umbra]

siglent scope!

Back to green because i need cuda

[empty quartz]

[zinc widget]

Mostly Marvel rivals, Overwatch, and modded Minecraft rn. A lot of single threaded stuff that even though it’s going from six core to eight core, the 5800 XT has a much better single thread performance than the 3600 X

[trim flicker]

Ive said it alot in floatplane

[empty quartz]

:3

[thin plover]

[empty quartz]

1000+ in just tc1

Idk the exact because discord mobile

[zinc widget]

Well, sorry AMD, but you just lost the main selling point for that over the 5070 TI

[flint badger]

Right

[glad fog]

not really

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra hai kev

[thin plover]

1267

[glad fog]

nvidia's just not going to say it

[flint badger]

I mean it'll still be significantly less than the 5070

[steel umbra]

well, the 5800 xt is ok but the price he’s getting it for is meh, what about 5700x

[flint badger]

Cuz those will prob be scalped til next series the way nvidia got em so scarce

[trim flicker]

Theres a place u can disable it but discord changed the location so idk where it is now

[zinc widget]

Like at least the 9070 has 16 gigs of VRAM compared to the 5070. The literal only reason you choose a 9070 XT over 5070 TI is that it’s like $150 cheaper. If it’s less than $75 cheaper, there’s basically no reason to choose it.

[trim flicker]

Hi philly

[glad fog]

what makes you think it's going to be $75 cheaper?

[thin plover]

I can see exact numbers fine on mobile

[glad fog]

where do you find 5070 ti in stock anywhere for near the msrp?

[thin plover]

hiiono

[trim flicker]

fuck you <3

[zinc widget]

I’m being optimistic

[zinc widget]

Realistically, you’ll be able to find both for MSRP at roughly the same time

[flint badger]

Or a xt for that matter

[flint badger]

A year or so

[zinc widget]

See, I need it by Friday, and Best Buy has one in stock at the at my local store for a 175

[glad fog]

yeah until nvidia refreshes the 50 series

[zinc widget]

Also, I’ll probably be able to get one for MSRP sooner because Best Buy total tech.

Best Buy total tech is really sneaky. Good in the US. Especially if you buy a lot of apple shit.

Anything you buy at Best Buy with a total tech membership from Apple gets AppleCare for as long as you have the membership

Best Buy also allocate their high demand products sometimes where you can only get them if you pay for a total tech membership

[brisk sundial]

what is this and why is it on my screen

i dont even recognize the program or what one its coming from

@trim flicker you’ve seen the phone i got, right?

A couple weeks ago*

[steel umbra]

well, if it’s your only option

[orchid trellis]

If my main gpu is an amd 7900xtx, can i use a 2080 ti in tandem for physx acceleration?

[azure topaz]

bro

what are you playing with physx that you think is so deserving of two dgpus

[orchid trellis]

(If it works) because i can

Like why did i fully custom watercool my pc? Because i can

[empty quartz]

@orchid trellis why do you think you want/need a physX card?

[orchid trellis]

So i can play older games that contain physx

[empty quartz]

You wont be getting any perf benefits

[empty quartz]

Your 7900xtx can do it

[azure topaz]

physx is a toggleable option

[orchid trellis]

It can? Thought physx was nvidia only

[empty quartz]

People thought cuda was nvidia only

[sinful cobalt]

lol no

[orchid trellis]

I was lied to

[steel umbra]

phyx is nowadays on your cpu iirc

[sinful cobalt]

u simply didnt research properly

[orchid trellis]

Well i have no idea what to do with my 2080 ti

[trim flicker]

umm no]

[sinful cobalt]

cpu physx is slower than gpu but yes

[sinful cobalt]

1: sell
2: expensive door stopper
3; display it

[empty quartz]

Its barely noticeable, your “point” is invalid

[dusk acorn]

Is 5070 ti better than the 7900xtx?

[sinful cobalt]

really? then y have ppl apparently been putting 3050s for physx support

[sinful cobalt]

short answer no

[gleaming rose]

does anyone know what may cause a motor to be able to move something one way but not the other? it's a screw and should be lubricated enough.

[empty quartz]

Because 50 series lacks it comepletely

[dusk acorn]

Even with the 5070 ti being msrp?

[sinful cobalt]

that’d be a price:performance comparison not what is straight up better

[orchid trellis]

1. No
2. Nah
3. No where to display it

[steel umbra]

most recent games don’t support it on gpu phyx, mostly on cpu, yes phyx 64bit isn’t dead yet, but 32bit is pretty much

[dusk acorn]

Alright good to know that even with 7900 xtx being 3 years older. Its still better performance wise than 5070 ti . Thanks

[steel umbra]

in older titles phyX is straight up important to enjoy the game at full

[oak basin]

new second pc for plex server

[orchid trellis]

Do amd gpus support 32bit physx?

[steel umbra]

in some older titles without phyX the game can literally miss effects and even objects

[frail delta]

https://google.com

[orchid trellis]

Google sucks for giving clear answers

[steel umbra]

i don’t think so, are you playing games from like 2010 or earier?

[sinful cobalt]

Yes but people have been talking about just running it on the CPU as you said, but if thats the case why are ppl putting physx compaitible cards in 50 series setups instead of simply running on the CPU, or is it their hand itchy

[orchid trellis]

A few

[steel umbra]

do you already have amd gpu? do some of the games not run or lag?

[empty quartz]

Because for some reason people like playing old games

[sinful cobalt]

this generation has had 0 real uplift

[dusk acorn]

All leaned in the concept of ai right?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

slap AI to every product except for the 1s that need it

[dusk acorn]

Yeah idk why they still on about that, like. We’ll pay more for them to make ai work instead of actually making advancement to the specs

i fail to see the point of a 5050, it's uplift is probably going to be nothing.

[plain cypress]

Well it's going to primarily be in laptops

On desktop, there was no 4050, so the uplift is undefinable

there would be an uprising

[trim flicker]

lol

[left dove]

of VAST proportion

[glad fog]

well try last of us

[left dove]

Honestly I'd probably just go to wendys or something and get a frosty, idk

[glad fog]

maybe at very low you can get away with it.

[plain cypress]

Too Unstable*

[cinder raptor]

Thats one game

[glad fog]

it's a game from 2023

[left dove]

That too, I'm just a bit of a chaotic element by nature

[glad fog]

games arent getting any better at optimization

no one has time to waste for that

[vale girder]

the 5070 is cheaper than 9070 in my country T_T

[glad fog]

hardly matters when both products are practically non existent outside the us

[vale girder]

it is 78 dollars cheaper in my country.

[vale girder]

theres stock here

[glad fog]

and 78 dollars cheaper probably makes no difference if it's 60-70% over the msrp.

[vale girder]

amd is just a horrible choice in my country

nvidia is hitting msrp prices in my country

[glad fog]

what does the 5070 cost for you?

[vale girder]

you can get one for 742 dollars. And if u remove the 25% VAT it becomes 556 usd

[glad fog]

i dont know how much the 4070 super cost for you a few months ago

[flint badger]

https://tenor.com/view/on-my-way-ed-edd-n-eddy-omw-gif-4673391

[glad fog]

even with that, i think 5070's just a bad deal.

[vale girder]

here the 5070 ti is struggling with stock tho

[glad fog]

930 eur for a 9070 xt is still way off.

[vale girder]

it seems different countries have bias on the models xD

[glad fog]

i know that's what it sells for in most of europe, but it's stupid.

[vale girder]

you gotta remove tax

[glad fog]

even with the tax, it doesnt really matter

[vale girder]

AMD is further away from msrp in every model

[glad fog]

it should be max 800eur.

[vale girder]

50 series is highest value here

[glad fog]

best time to buy these gpus it seems is about 6 months in maybe

[vale girder]

both 5070, 5070 ti and 5080 can be found for msrp prices

both? im lagging xD

i swear all these youtube videos on prices are so misleading

[glad fog]

i dont think they are. most of them are very explicit

at any rate i dont understand why nvidia even launched these cards when they and still have no stock to back it up.

[vale girder]

RX 9070 cheapest model is priced at 600 dollars with tax removed

[ripe sable]

Was it bad to buy an 7900xt ?

[vale girder]

surprisingly msrp 5080 in stock here

[glad fog]

probably not.

[ripe sable]

I only play 1080p isn’t 20gb to mutch

[glad fog]

i think the xtx has 20gb

[ripe sable]

It has 24

[glad fog]

oh theres a xt model with 20gb

[glad fog]

i know playing indiana jones with 16gb at highest settings, im kind of pushing it

[quick estuary]

me with 512mb vram:

[glad fog]

so it can easily tank my fps to 5-10fps because theres no vram available.

sometimes i have to shutdown other apps. so i dont think 20gb is too much, not today.

[cinder raptor]

I mean other apps shouldn't eat into vram

20gb is way more than you would need at 1080 or 1440

But more isnt bad

[glad fog]

i know at supreme settings indiana jones really pushes it.

[cinder raptor]

Easily

Ray tracing eats into that

[glad fog]

i know i was mind boggled

i had no idea what was going on, or why i had 5 fps, until i realized its because of vram

[cinder raptor]

Indiana Jones is very much an edge case currently.

[limber nacelle]

hiiiiiiiiii

[glad fog]

never did understand

[orchid trellis]

Hello.

[limber nacelle]

are you american by chance?

[left dove]

He wants to buy your card

[limber nacelle]

maybe

[glad fog]

why they say that Indiana jones requires rt. i guess rt hardware but whatever they are doing in the game is nothing heavy in terms of ray tracing, not until you go full rt.

[orchid trellis]

Ah. Nah

[left dove]

HA

[limber nacelle]

XD

[left dove]

GET FUCKED

[limber nacelle]

no thats fair

[orchid trellis]

Its my first ever gpu so im not parting

[limber nacelle]

peyton bring your 2080ti so I can do quad 2080ti

[left dove]

shadowbox it

[left dove]

lol im not coming to canada anymore

[limber nacelle]

noooouuughhh

[left dove]

rip, it's w/e

I'm getting a 3090ti anyways so

[rain basin]

GUYS

[limber nacelle]

oh yeah I'd only borrow it for the 2080ti x4 meme but I know you want to keep it

[rain basin]

so the other day I talked about my mom and her first build

[left dove]

i love my card :3

[rain basin]

finished it today, plugged it all in

[left dove]

its a good little silver brick

[rain basin]

POSTED FIRST TRY

[vale girder]

LMAO rtx 5090 asus tuf is priced 150 dollars under msrp here xD

wait no i cant do math

30 dollars under

tax alone adds 660 dollars

[limber nacelle]

yuh

[left dove]

so, i might be getting a psu from the guy too

'cause I mentioned that mine is coming up on 6 years old and doesn't have the 12vhpwr connector and just "oh yeah I'll get one to send w/ it dw"

[limber nacelle]

damn

[left dove]

I'm a spoiled woman, apparently

[limber nacelle]

you dont know what I'd do for a 3090ti

[left dove]

cough

[limber nacelle]

yeah I'd cough

[bronze summit]

Hey Peyton

[left dove]

hello

it is i

[bronze summit]

You Pay tons

Have a look at this Bolognese

[left dove]

bowlogknees

[bronze summit]

(Tech Relation:Look at how immaculate the Red magic 9's Camera is)

[quick stag]

hi nerds

[trim flicker]

I dont

[trim flicker]

Haiiiiii ennuiii

[limber nacelle]

hi

[trim flicker]

I need a 4070 for schoolwork 🙏

(I need cuda)

[bronze jay]

For real?

[trim flicker]

Yes

[bronze jay]

That's kind of classist if you literally can't do your schoolwork without one.

[left dove]

lmao, what

[trim flicker]

Gotta use school pcs, my system can run whats needed but it chugs like fuck

[bronze jay]

Oh, then nevermind

That sucks. Can you afford one?

[trim flicker]

Just cant do at home work

[trim flicker]

Yeah i can get one

[bronze jay]

is a cuda core special or is it just what graphics cards use

[trim flicker]

i need it for raytraced shaders and better encoding

[oblique hill]

Guys I recently came back to PC building, rn going to try and make a 1 PC 2 Gamers kinda thing. Now I'm looking at CPU's for the system aaand... wtf is Intel Ultra?

[trim flicker]

Intel ultra is the new i9

[bronze jay]

Are you a content creator?

[bronze jay]

Intel needs to figure out it's branding. Or maybe that's the point

[limber nacelle]

get a 4060ti 16gb if you can

[oblique hill]

I used to be, been a few years since I made my last gaming video. Nowadays just do Instagram reels.

[bronze jay]

if consumers can't understand what they're buying they're more likely to blindly trust the corporation

[limber nacelle]

the extra vram goes a long way for our sort of work and the compute on it is decent

[trim flicker]

Nah i have someone whos willing to sell a 4070 for cheap

[limber nacelle]

fair then

[bronze jay]

I have a 4070. It's pretty good with raytracing I think

[trim flicker]

like holy shit amd cards just crap out major time in our field

[bronze jay]

It does raytracing in cyberpunk at like 80 fps on default settings in 1440p

[limber nacelle]

yes that's why I refuse to buy radeon

[bright surge]

just the rebrand of their CPUs, Ultra are the "high performance" models for desktops, but the 5, 7, and 9 are basically the same

[trim flicker]

takes me like 10 mins to load my projects

[oblique hill]

what CPU should I get for a 1 PC 2 Gamers thing? Ultra 7 has 20 cores (3.50 Ghz base, 5.50 turbo)

[limber nacelle]

the compatability and performance isn't there

[bronze jay]

I'd like it to be higher but you get what you pay for

[limber nacelle]

performance specifically for rendering

[daring bramble]

some old cpu i got

[trim flicker]

Yeah

[limber nacelle]

are you still interested in the ram?

I get it if you're not because 64gb is already more than enough

[oblique hill]

MY first ever self-bought CPU! Amazing powerhouse for DDR3.

[trim flicker]

Yeh, just getting this 4070 first

[bright surge]

oh hey, thats the K version of what im running right now, lol

[limber nacelle]

oh no worries, I was judt going to list it if you werent

[trim flicker]

Ah

[bright surge]

I7-4770s

[limber nacelle]

yeah not a rush anyways tho

[daring bramble]

the pc it came with had 32gb of corsair vengeance ddr3

[oblique hill]

What a powerhouse that CPU is

[limber nacelle]

I'm just trying to declutter a bit

[bright surge]

yeah

[limber nacelle]

was

[bright surge]

STILL chugging along a DECADE after launch

[trim flicker]

Understandable

i did a giant cleanout a few months back

[limber nacelle]

👍

[trim flicker]

i filled like 7 of those trash bags with just random crap like bits of metal or broken whatevers

[oblique hill]

Should I get thisone? Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. Its 379 on sale here

[bright surge]

honestly, im not really sure, but my new machine has the Ultra 9 285K

[limber nacelle]

core ultra is decent if you can get it for a decent price but 379 isn't particularly cheap

I'm assuming you're not american

[oblique hill]

Im EU

[limber nacelle]

yeahhhhhh idk the 265k microcebtre deal makes it good but for 379 euro that's a bit of a tough sell imo

are you gaming?

[trim flicker]

with a username like that i think you may be dutch

[oblique hill]

Both gamers will be gaming on the system yes

So both VM's will be, at the same time
