[frail topaz]

good morning people of the linus servr

[dusky crest]

Mmm yes, ayoub computers loll
The huxft brand (keyboard vomit)

None

[kindred halo]

Whar

Ayoub Computers is just a tech retailer here

[kindred halo]

💔 That explains it

[dusky crest]

Ayoub sounds like keeb spam

[kindred halo]

It's a name 💔

[frail topaz]

try saying that

ayo u b?

[dusky crest]

Yeah, ig

[kindred halo]

It's pronounced "Ay-yoob"

Arabic name

[dusky crest]

Also i can't use binbows 11 cuz games break there

[kindred halo]

Find something like a 1050ti for 20 pounds or something

[dusky crest]

Mm yes, bri'ish

[limber nacelle]

only makes sense for a gen 5 drive...

[kindred halo]

Oh wait you wrote euros not pounds

[dusky crest]

I don't have bri'ish money

[limber nacelle]

adequate for most drives, if you don't have a heatsink on the mobo

[dusky crest]

Also i have 0.15€ rn lol

[kindred halo]

I know that, but again, it's more aesthetics than actual usability

If I have a spare 28 US just lying around I am sure as shit not going to buy an M.2 cooler immediately

For 20 US more I can get a decent Full ATX case with 4 RGB fans

Or upgrade my cpu cooler depending on what the guy I am buying from puts in the machine

[kindred halo]

Save up two extra euros
Buy a cheap pair of socks for like a euro or something
Exchange the rest into coins
Mug someone with your sock mace

[dusky crest]

Wtf lol

I rather wait until windows 10 gets axed, and computers start washing up at ewaste, then sell em

[kindred halo]

Lmao fair enough

[drowsy flame]

Why have I never heard of the CoolerMaster 622 cooler before actually looking on their website?

[frail topaz]

PROBABLY:

1. because its ass
2. because noone uses it

[drowsy flame]

Is it that ass?

[drowsy flame]

What do you think of the hyper 212?

[frail topaz]

pretty nice well known and well sold cooler

thermaltake peerless assasin better tho

[drowsy flame]

I just upgraded from a hyper 212 RGB black edition to the new halo fan one

Think the halo fan looks much better personally and I’ve never had a problem with cooling on my old rgb 212

[frail topaz]

eh theyre the same cooler still

[drowsy flame]

Basically the same

Slightly improved contact on the new one though from what I saw underneath, the copper was exposed on the new one, on the old rgb black edition the whole contact area was zinc coated

I would’ve gone peerless assassin, I wanted to actually buy the fans look so mid

[latent pasture]

bruh u couldve just bought an rgb fan then

[drowsy flame]

Technically yes but I’m gonna use the old 212 RGB black edition in another build someday probably

[latent pasture]

fair enough

[drowsy flame]

Might put it in my girlfriends computer

She has a 12400f with a stock cooler

[elder quarry]

Hell

[drowsy flame]

Plus I’m only cooling a 12700f so nothing crazy for the 212

[tidal geyser]

what is it now like 10-15 year old design

[drowsy flame]

Yeah 15 ish

[latent pasture]

theres no more improvements to make

[frail topaz]

14 15 i cant remmeber

[latent pasture]

4 heatpipes and 50-60 fins

theres nothing to do anymore other than drive down cost

[drowsy flame]

It was perfect when it was first made and didn’t really need to be changed.

[latent pasture]

uynless theres a major discovery in thermodynamics

[frail topaz]

just LN2 cool fr

[drowsy flame]

Cost has gone up due to inflation and it’s arguably “bad value” compared to other newer entries to the budget aircooler market like the peerless assassin

[latent pasture]

cm has other new hyper212 models in the $20 market theyre not that dumb

[drowsy flame]

Main reasons I got it were

1. I’ve used other 212’s before and they’ve been somewhat easy to install and reliable.

2. Accessibility, they’re usually in stock at every local Best Buy and easy to pick up same day

3. I wanted a halo fan because it matches the other fans in the case, also because of a reflection on my wall from the 212 RGB black edition. I have a projector pointed at the wall next to my pc for watching movies in bed and it was annoying.

I had to turn off rgb on my pc to be able to use the projector and not be extremely distracted and annoyed

The black edition rgb had a center lit slightly transparent blade fan instead of a halo

[honest gulch]

?

Anyways y'all were wrong

https://www.techspot.com/review/2494-amd-ryzen-5500/

[drowsy flame]

Nobody should be buying ryzen 5 in 2025

[honest gulch]

???

Are you aware that Ryzen 5 7600 exists

Which is also a Ryzen 5

It's a Ryzen 5 7400f

He is just... Wrong

[drowsy flame]

Sorry, I’m talking about 5000 series

[honest gulch]

You are still wrong

[drowsy flame]

5000 series is cooked in 2025 if buying anything for a new build

[honest gulch]

You are just wrong, people have budgets. Also, 5700x3d = 7600 so even more wrong

[drowsy flame]

Even a 5700 is mid compared to any decent 7000 or 9000 series

[honest gulch]

5700 is worse than 5600

[drowsy flame]

Is it?

Also hot take

[dapper light]

5700 is worse

[tidal geyser]

add the X in the back and its not

[dapper light]

Because AMD misleading naming

5700 is based on cezanne instead of vermeer like 5600

Cezanne is the same one as 5600G and is monolithic

[drowsy flame]

I think gamers spend way too much on cpu and not enough on GPU. Most of the builds I see should go down a tier of cpu if it would save them the money to go a tier up on GPU.

A 13600f will not even bottleneck a 5090 at 4k in most graphical limited games.

[honest gulch]

It's a wrong take, nothing hot about it

I can say "climate change isn't real"
It won't be a hot take, it'll just be flat out wrong

[trim flicker]

Its about as cold as the arctic circle

[drowsy flame]

Mostly graphical I believe

[honest gulch]

7500f = 5700x3d

[kindred halo]

Which is heating up bit by bit thanks to people who believe in that cold take

[trim flicker]

Real

[honest gulch]

No

It's just intensive. Both my cpu and gpu get maxed out playing it

[dusky crest]

Reeeeee

[trim flicker]

Really depends what ur playing

[kindred halo]

Directly proportional take; The more that people believe in the cold take, the hotter it gets

[honest gulch]

Fortnite

[trim flicker]

if ur just gaming tho, 14900k is overkill for a gaming build

[drowsy flame]

Still, a modern (5000 series or newer for ryzen or 12th gen or newer for Intel) i5 or ryzen 5 will be able to play most graphical based games at the resolution the GPU was “intended” to play them at.

If you wanna play cs2 with a 5090 at 1080p you can but let’s be real, anything above a 4080 is probably for 4k where the cpu is less of a bottleneck.

[honest gulch]

What's your gpu?

[trim flicker]

Speedrunning world collapse

[dusky crest]

Peak aio aesthetics

[trim flicker]

Ew

[drowsy flame]

This tells me you’re probably playing at the wrong resolution for your GPU.

[honest gulch]

That is a rare setup where performance mode makes sense

[dusky crest]

No u

[drowsy flame]

We’re not talking about any hardware that old though

Also your cpu is definitely a bottleneck there.

[honest gulch]

Most people shouldn't be using performance mode, it's badly named

2160p at minimum bro

It probably defaulted to upscaling

3d res to 100%?

[kindred halo]

Ice glaciers melt speedrun any% glitchless

[trim flicker]

We’re doing a pretty decent run rn

[gloomy sleet]

[ripe sable]

Does anyone know why I get so high ping on forrnite but not any other games?

[trim flicker]

You couldve just sent the pcpp link

[kindred halo]

[gloomy sleet]

[turbid shore]

Can someone help me ? My only HDMI port just decided to not work anymore. It doesn't work unless shown in the video and its stuck at a single 640x480 resolution

[drowsy flame]

You should be on ddr5 if building this new

[turbid shore]

Windows even refuses to recognise the monitor, it isn't the cable or the monitor, since my T470s works with it

[ripe sable]

How can I know if my monitor has a bad screen or is a trash monitor?

[trim flicker]

Turn off the system, plug in the hdmi, turn on the system

[turbid shore]

Already tried that

[honest gulch]

Can you shut up

[trim flicker]

he is right

[honest gulch]

What's the use for the pc?

[trim flicker]

building a ddr4 system rn isnt a good choice

[drowsy flame]

Change this to the asus prime B760M A-AX board and a set of ddr5 6000 CL30 and you’ll be golden

[honest gulch]

He isn't. With a budget of like 700, how do you plan on going ddr5?

[turbid shore]

Didn't work, also tried setting it to HDMI 1.4 from 2.0 which didn't work , neither did upgrading the BIOS

I really don't wanna return this laptop

[trim flicker]

The boards are almost as cheap as ddr4?

[honest gulch]

You must go intel with this one

[trim flicker]

Just the cou and gpu are 700 dollars btw

[drowsy flame]

Doesn’t matter what the budget is, the ram might be slightly more but that doesn’t change the fact that DDR4 for a new build in 2025 is a bad idea.

[mellow cairn]

I mean you cry? It won't help, but hey

[trim flicker]

how

theres no intel with you, clearly

[drowsy flame]

Shouldn’t be building DDR4 systems new in 2025.

[honest gulch]

If you want to go ddr5 with a 700$ budget you need to go Intel

[honest gulch]

Explain yourself

[drowsy flame]

He’s already going Intel, the cpu on his list is already a 12700kf which supports ddr5. All he’d need to do is change the board and ram.

[trim flicker]

Okay?

[honest gulch]

We can change that

[trim flicker]

what the fuck are you talking about

[honest gulch]

You asked how

[drowsy flame]

Are you dumb?

[trim flicker]

you are literally saying a whole lot of nothing

[random gyro]

Thanks much better

[honest gulch]

Are you

[trim flicker]

they are using intel

[honest gulch]

Try reading better

[drowsy flame]

I’m not saying you are, I’m just asking if you are.

[trim flicker]

Try thinking better

[drowsy flame]

Maybe listen to someone who has recently built a 12th gen Intel system on ddr5?

cough me cough

[honest gulch]

This sounds like y'all yesterday about the 5500

[trim flicker]

its not smart to build ddr4 systems new, ddr4 is getting older and the chip likes better speeds for ram

[drowsy flame]

I have. I’m running a 12700f and 32gb of DDR5 6000 CL30. Works great and wasn’t that much more than DDR4.

[trim flicker]

That was also correct

[honest gulch]

Literally sent a source proving y'all wrong

[trim flicker]

the architecture is different, like 20 other people said this to you

[honest gulch]

And y'all provided no source

[drowsy flame]

Some people just think they’re correct all the time. Can’t argue with those kind of people.

[trim flicker]

Yes we did

[honest gulch]

Performance wise, they are very similar.

[trim flicker]

you cited fucking USERBENCHMARK

[honest gulch]

Never sent a benchmark

[mellow cairn]

[drowsy flame]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-laugh-kek-intensifies-kek_intensifies-gif-10111909

[turbid shore]

Ah man. Dang it

[honest gulch]

Y'all actually can't read. Y'all said it's 2v1, I said I'll get userbenchmark and then really get outnumbered

[kindred halo]

I still don't understand why the argument even happened

You, floppa, others, and even others from YouTube seemed to suggest that the 5500 was just a stripped down 5700G (iGPU disabled, less cache, etc)

[mellow cairn]

5500 is a garbage tier CPU

[drowsy flame]

Yes, don’t listen to a thing silver says by the way. Get the board I said and the ram spec I said. I have a system myself with a 12700f and DDR5 so I would know.

[honest gulch]

I'm talking performance wise, dc what's the architecture

[honest gulch]

It's roughly the same as the 3600

[mellow cairn]

... This is going to shock you, the architecture affects the performance

[mellow cairn]

Yes. It's also 2025.

[trim flicker]

Userbenchmark isnt a source, its outright fake news

[honest gulch]

This is going to shock you: I sent a benchmark

[kindred halo]

It's decent for someone on a really tight budget

[drowsy flame]

Seems to me like silver is just argumentative and uninformed.

[trim flicker]

3600

[kindred halo]

That works too

[honest gulch]

You haven't sent a single benchmark

[mellow cairn]

Honestly at that level you should be looking used

[honest gulch]

Incapable of accepting you are wrong

[trim flicker]

Have u tried that

[drowsy flame]

Userbenchmark is actually extremely biased and dumb to use.

[kindred halo]

That's what I meant

[honest gulch]

Me: has a source showing fps
You: has a theoretical source with no real world performance comparision

[kindred halo]

If you can afford a 5500 new then just buy a 5600/X used

[trim flicker]

when the whole chat is disagreeing with you, i think you may be wrong, just a thought

[drowsy flame]

A benchmark for what? Why building a ddr4 system in 2025 is bad if you don’t have to? You should definitely go back to whatever computer classes you went to and get your money back.

[trim flicker]

Fps in what, with what gpu

[honest gulch]

A benchmark showing performance difference between 5500 and 3600.

[kindred halo]

Is tech city a good benchmark?

[trim flicker]

And not 5600?

you just literally proved yourself wrong

[drowsy flame]

When did that EVER come up? Kek

[honest gulch]

The argument was 5500 Vs 3600

[mellow cairn]

Nope

Nobody is buying a new 3600

[kindred halo]

Sometimes?

[drowsy flame]

I never said anything about a 3600 you’re thinking of the wrong person buddy.

[kindred halo]

What should I use then, other than techpowerup

[mellow cairn]

Comparing a 3600 doesn't make sense

[honest gulch]

Here

[mellow cairn]

Why not just compare it to a Pentium. 4.

[honest gulch]

[drowsy flame]

Silver doesn’t make sense 💀

https://tenor.com/view/smadging-pepe-smadging-gif-26061387

[random gyro]

I'd say a normal cpu for 2025 should have 30k score in passmark

[honest gulch]

Here

[kindred halo]

Any sites or text based answers?

[honest gulch]

The argument was definitely 5500 vs 3600

[drowsy flame]

Silver, you just tried to argue that DDR4 was better than DDR5 on an Intel 12th gen new build in 2025. I don’t think anything you say will ever be taken seriously again by anyone.

[random gyro]

tho likely i5 12600KF with price under $150 is best buy cpu atm

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[drowsy flame]

I found a 12400f for my girlfriends pc for $110 lol

[honest gulch]

I don't think mister allergic to sources will ever be taken seriously

[kindred halo]

I'd say 7500F

Cheap entry into AM5

[drowsy flame]

Prove to me why he shouldn’t get ddr5 then. Please. I’m waiting oh wise one. Enlighten us with your great knowledge.

[kindred halo]

I know

[honest gulch]

I never talked about this specific case, I'm talking about the general idea of ddr4 being useless

[eternal cloak]

Why the hell are you suggesting to get a 3600 when you already did make a better point by saying you'll want to go intel if you realistically want to go DDR5 on the cheap?

[kindred halo]

I am just saying it's probably the better option of the two

[honest gulch]

I never said you should go intel...

[eternal cloak]

Oh boy

[honest gulch]

Are you aware of budgets existing

Some of them can't include a 7400f

[drowsy flame]

DDR4 for a NEW build in 2025 that has the option of being DDR5 (12th, 13th, 14th and gen Intel) IS useless. 100% useless in a NEW build for any of those generations because of the PROVEN performance increases from DDR5 while only costing slightly more.

[honest gulch]

I never talked about intel

[drowsy flame]

Now if you say I’m wrong about that then you’re clearly not reliable and spreading misinformation.

[eternal cloak]

Yes you did

Mate are you stupid

[honest gulch]

That's me stating a fact, I wasn't suggesting it. Y'all really lack reading skills

[honest gulch]

Do you have something inside your head

[drowsy flame]

If you were suggesting that he entirely change his cpu choice when it would’ve been easy to gain performance by simply switching the board to a ddr5 board and ram kit then you are absolutely mental.

[trim flicker]

12600 is like the cutoff for ddr4 imo

[eternal cloak]

Sounds about right, ye

[random gyro]

if you don't think I'm correct, what would happen if you paired 4090 with core 2 duo?

[drowsy flame]

Future upgrades, lga1700 has good upgrade path

[formal sonnet]

As a 12600K owner, can confirm. I'm very close to doubling my RAM (32-64GB, just for lulz / funsies) because DDR4 is [relatively] cheap now.

[mellow cairn]

If I'm not correct, then try using a 5090 with a Pentium 2! Nerrrrtt

[trim flicker]

Im getting 128gb for the funnyy

[eternal cloak]

I don't know, I'd rather just have fun and buy into capacity rather than bandwidth if you have 12th gen like Kirashi did

128GB is what, $250?

[random gyro]

caricating so you get the point. If you choke the cpu it will perform even worse

[formal sonnet]

Oh yeah? Well I'm getting 4200 Jigawatts of pure performance boosting Garlic bread power!

[trim flicker]

Gosh i want some garlic bread

[drowsy flame]

I had a 12700f that I pulled from my old build to carry over to a new system and a ddr5 board was the same price as ddr4, 6000mhz CL30 ram was only about $40 more than a ddr4 3200 CL16 kit.

[trim flicker]

being a vampire would be worst nightmare, 0 garlic bread

[eternal cloak]

Oh yes, it's obviously cheap
If only "$40 more" didn't equal "double to price"

[drowsy flame]

$40 comparatively isn’t that bad for the ability to throw a 14700 in the system in the future and not be bottlenecked by DDR4 instead of having to swap mobo and ram at that time as well.

[eternal cloak]

You're not 'bottlenecked' lmfao

128GB for $215, so good and tasty

[drowsy flame]

I’m saying a 14700 would lose performance on ddr4 compared to ddr5. Since I plan on upgrading to either a 14700 or 14900 eventually I went ddr5 on my 12700f because it was the smart choice.

[tribal nest]

this gonna go hard with google chrome

[eternal cloak]

Idk why you're focusing on non-K SKUs anyway, they perform the same as the K-SKUs right below them and cost more lmao

[drowsy flame]

Probably not much difference on a 12700 from ddr4 to ddr5 but the flexibility in the future is better. That’s why you shouldn’t use ddr4 on a 12th, 13th, or 14th gen Intel build in 2025

[tribal nest]

ok

[solar moat]

what ram?

[drowsy flame]

DDR4 3600 vs DDR5 6000

[tribal nest]

be lucky to have a 4070 ti and not a 1070

[solar moat]

ah thats why shit ddr4 ram

[eternal cloak]

By the fact you can get a decent 16GB kit without being shanked in performance for $20

Stop coping, holy shit

[flint badger]

Who u going back n forth with bruv

[tribal nest]

ill shank you anyway dw

[tribal nest]

me (i dunno who he is)

[solar moat]

did you set gear 1 for 3600 ram?

[drowsy flame]

It’s not that much more for DDR5 for a potential 20%+ performance increase in some games.

[flint badger]

Is that his gpu or the gpu from the video he sent

[solar moat]

100% the ddr4 config is shit

since auto will be gear 2

[eternal cloak]

Yeah it's only quadruple the price
'Ever heard of budgets'

[tribal nest]

the dunno

[gloomy sleet]

cheap

[solar moat]

who wants to be did not even have run runing at listed speed

[gloomy sleet]

ddr4 is like £20 for 2x8gb 3600mts

[flint badger]

I got a ddr5 5600 rgb ram for 20$

[thick jackal]

So find me a DDR4-6000 ram stick, thats the point of ddr5, its faster

[flint badger]

2x 16gb

[gloomy sleet]

not even considering the fact it’s like £40 less then a ddr5 kit

[tribal nest]

rgb makes it run faster

[flint badger]

Why i paid the premium

[solar moat]

100% there in gear 2 for both

[drowsy flame]

It’s not quadruple, ddr4 32gb 3600 is like $40 ish and ddr5 32gb 6000 is like $90. Slightly over double but in reality it’s only $40-$50 for an in some cases 20%+ performance increase.

[eternal cloak]

Nah the figures listed are about right, between 10 to 20% depending on the game; back when 12th gen was new that wasn't worth buying into since 32GB kits were minimum $400

[solar moat]

ddr4 shoud be in gear 1 or it kin d of sucks

[thick jackal]

Very true and real info

[solar moat]

i tested on 12 gen pc i build a bit ago

[tribal nest]

im so glad i didn’t fuck up my ram

[eternal cloak]

Mate I said 16GB
Unlike DDR5 you can buy 16GB kits and not be shanked in performance due to how shit 16GB DDR5 kits are

[tribal nest]

i heard a crunch but everything still works

[flint badger]

The rgb making system go brrr?

[flint badger]

Oof

[tribal nest]

it was the third dimm slot

[flint badger]

Nice I got like 25k

[tribal nest]

surprisingly switching modules doesn’t affect anything

and it boots without issues

[tribal nest]

so maybe god decided to be merciful today

[drowsy flame]

Honestly 16gb is starting to not be enough. I’d say every pc being built now should have 32. On ddr4 it’s not that much more, on ddr5 16gb kits are hard to find and terrible value anyways. Get 32gb no matter what unless you’re on ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA BUDGET

[flint badger]

My highest was 25.8k with undervolt

[random gyro]

These are 2 best results with 4070 and these cpus on entire 3d mark site

[gloomy sleet]

16gb is more then enough nowadays

[flint badger]

Ah 4070 ok i got a 9070xt

[eternal cloak]

16GB 'starting to not be enough' is simply plain wrong kek

[tidal geyser]

what games is it not enough for_

[gloomy sleet]

8gb is still playable (thanks kaz)

[drowsy flame]

Wrong

[eternal cloak]

Most people could easily survive on 8GB

[gloomy sleet]

explain

[flint badger]

2k and lower for sure

[gloomy sleet]

the performance difference is minimal

[tidal geyser]

i test budget systems not seen one game go over 16GB

[tribal nest]

this is genuine misinformation

[gloomy sleet]

same

[eternal cloak]

The resolution has literally nothing to do with this lmfao

[random gyro]

12600KF is $145

[tidal geyser]

well it should not be able to but i mean it does not get all the way to 16GB

[drowsy flame]

Sure you can game on 16gb but what happens if you open discord, a music player, RGB software, obs, etc in the background?

[flint badger]

What rez literally will eat up vram

[eternal cloak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HaDmm2i4Y8

[gloomy sleet]

nothing

[tribal nest]

close something

[eternal cloak]

We're talking about RAM not VRAM, jfc

[flint badger]

Ahh okokok

[tribal nest]

nvlink

[proper gull]

if you're actually doing anything and have anything remotely high end at all... No it isn't. it's fuck-all. you will hit the limit often.

[flint badger]

Lol even with 8gb ram better have all background shit closed 💀

[gloomy sleet]

no?

[flint badger]

If u plan on playing new titles

[mellow cairn]

16gb is the minimum I would put in a proper system, but ... 32 makes more sense.

[eternal cloak]

Most people just don't though, idk how this is even used as an argument

[drowsy flame]

DDR4 32gb kits are cheap now. DDR5 16gb kits are barely less than 32 anyways. You should probably always just get 32. Maybe it’s not needed right now but it will likely be needed soon and it’s just the smarter better value thing to do.

[gloomy sleet]

i can comfortably play a game with spotify open discord open and 2 youtube videos open and still have a minimal performance hit

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[solar moat]

ok

[flint badger]

16gb ram?

[mellow cairn]

16gb is plenty for normies. 32gb is cheap. It's not worth not getting.

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[proper gull]

if I opened a game right now I'd be over 16gb unless I closed literally everything and just had the game open

[tribal nest]

game issue

[solar moat]

i just saying they fucked up there ram perfomicne with the ddr4 3600 if they just pluged in and hit go

[flint badger]

What games

[eternal cloak]

It's not particularly relevant how much cheaper 32GB kits are, you're just trying to force me to use 32GB kits as an example so it fits your point better.. On a budget 16GB will get you through most things you wanna do just fine

[stoic nova]

any of you guys bother making custom rivatuner layouts?

[tribal nest]

i think you have a bigger issue if your game is eating 16gbs of ram

[drowsy flame]

Same here. My system will use 20-28 gigs in game with other apps open.

[proper gull]

you should be asking what background things I have open that don't want to close

[flint badger]

Gotta clear that bloat

[proper gull]

the game would only have to use 2gb to put me over 16gb

[gloomy sleet]

16gb is about £20-£25 32gb is about £45 typically

[proper gull]

not bloat

[solar moat]

i only ran once and that was with minecraft eating 25GB on its own

[proper gull]

bloat is un-needed things

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind with less it will move less important things to the swap partition or compress it

[flint badger]

Tf u got in background that you NEED

[gloomy sleet]

i know i didn’t need 32gb before i got my system

[mellow cairn]

.... On a 1000 build, not worth worrying about. On a 300 build? For sure.

[drowsy flame]

Sure it’ll “get you through” but that doesn’t change the fact that 32 is probably what most people should be getting in 2025 since the price of DDR4 has come down and the price of DDR5 16gb kits is terrible compared to 32gb.

[stoic nova]

yall obeese in ram / ram util.

[gloomy sleet]

my build was like £600?

[random gyro]

I could likely do what I do with only 4GB of ram, but bought 16 cuz wasn't expensive

[flint badger]

Dope game

[drowsy flame]

Ram headroom is a good thing to have also. Don’t want your system trying to memory swap while you’re gaming or doing work.

[gloomy sleet]

don’t think i’ve ever gone over 12gb of usage

i play almost exclusively 10+ year old games

[tidal geyser]

memory swap?

[drowsy flame]

That’s because your system probably won’t allow it.

[gloomy sleet]

my 4060 is probably overkill

[flint badger]

Nah him playing old games is why

[gloomy sleet]

it definitely does

[drowsy flame]

When the system runs out of memory and starts writing info that it needs to disk.

[gloomy sleet]

16 - 12 =4

[flint badger]

Hm u get tht Thang for

[gloomy sleet]

meaning 4gb left to use

[drowsy flame]

My 4070ti super isn’t quite overkill, I’d call it just right for me

[random gyro]

I had issues with getting hacked as if I was a high profile target, so after hacker crashing my car in my games and making me miss my target, I gave up gaming and started learning cybersec

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[flint badger]

What rez u play at

[gloomy sleet]

i get 1440p 170fps native on the games i play on my 4060 lol

[flint badger]

I play 4k so I got a 9070xt

[gloomy sleet]

upgrading my gpu quite literally won’t affect my performance

[solar moat]

got to love gear 2 4600 being slower then gear 1 3800

[flint badger]

Well u play older games so ya

[solar moat]

aka page file

[drowsy flame]

This is why a system might not go over 12gb even if it could effectively use more.

[random gyro]

In the process I got old and cranky

[gloomy sleet]

no modern games really interest me other then golden lap and eventually over the hill

[proper gull]

my browser with all the tabs I have
the multiple background applications for for running various things setup-related
the software for my security cameras that I always have a window open for
discord. bit hard to game if I can't talk to the people I'm playing with
steam, bit hard to game without it if it's a steam game

Like I said

if you're actually doing anything and have anything remotely high end at all

[flint badger]

Ya u chilling with that 4060 then for a loooong time

[gloomy sleet]

i’m hoping like 10 years

[trim flicker]

I idle like 20gb usage with my usual programs open

[drowsy flame]

If you have 32gb instead of 16 it means you’ll be using swap memory less. Faster speeds for data recall, more memory headroom, less writing to SSD will likely increase SSD longevity. Even worse if you’re on a sata SSD or hard drive. 32gb better than 16.

[random gyro]

My guiding thought was to make sure they can never do that to another gamer ever

[flint badger]

What browser u use? I use librewolf and it barely eat memory and discord take like 400mbs max on my rig and ya steam like another 300mbs

[drowsy flame]

This ^

[gloomy sleet]

yeah but that’s like 50 different programs

you are definitely the exception not the rule

[proper gull]

if you're just gaming, and have low-mid range hardware (and thus not playing very demanding games at high settings)
yeah you can obviously get away with 16gb
it's not "more than enough nowadays"

and to 2nd this #tech-chat-1 message

[gloomy sleet]

have you seen her monitor setup my guy

[kindred halo]

Okay I am formatting my laptop now so I can send it to be repaired then sold

[proper gull]

browser is irrelevant. anything would EAT ram with the tabs I keep open

[drowsy flame]

No, but it’s probably similar to mine if she’s using 20gb

[gloomy sleet]

show us yours

[kindred halo]

The repair guy is my cousin so he won't swindle me out of money thankfully

[proper gull]

I have multiple stacks of tabs across two windows at any time

[flint badger]

Chrome is known to devoure ram unnecessarily

[gloomy sleet]

absolutely no where near similar

[flint badger]

[kindred halo]

With the cash from the laptop and my own money I'll finally be able to enter the RTX era 🙏

[proper gull]

https://tenor.com/view/drmgif-clueless-gif-6610570081184878123

[gloomy sleet]

also you have 128gb iirc so it will use as much ram as it wants

[flint badger]

Bro i keep like a max of 3-4 programs open

[kindred halo]

Formatting a laptop will completely delete all user operations on it, right?

[gloomy sleet]

firefox uses 20% less ram then chrome in my system

[kindred halo]

Windows login, browser logins, etc

[flint badger]

Nah bro I'm clueless chill

[kindred halo]

I asked Google and it said yes but just to be sure

[proper gull]

good for you, that's probably a barely noticeable difference unless you have a ton of tabs open

[gloomy sleet]

this is not normal lmao

[flint badger]

He keeps 200 tabs open 24/7 it don't matter

[random gyro]

My work still isn't complete, and may never be, but what I learned, I'm sharing for free

[gloomy sleet]

with 2-5 tabs open it’s about a gigabyte less then chrome

[trim flicker]

Browsers easily take like 5-8gb

[flint badger]

for you

[flint badger]

Nah nah bro I'm clueless

[proper gull]

uwot

[drowsy flame]

Sitting on this screen with Marvel Rivals, Discord, OBS, Signal RGB, MSI Afterburner profile, NZXT Cam, and a couple other background tasks open I was probably hovering around 18gb of usage.

[trim flicker]

I have a few tabs open

[proper gull]

nowhere even near that even with my tabs

[gloomy sleet]

you have a terrabyte of ram you ain’t in this conversation

[flint badger]

[boreal vine]

I'm worried about it at my work as I regularly already use like 25gbs running shit

[proper gull]

this really isn't an issue though, it is kinda nice not having to reload messages and images
if it's an issue you're either too broke for enough ram or are weird and have multiple apps open for hours

[flint badger]

Coming fa mfs pockets oof 🤣

Lets hope

[flint badger]

Gpu temp a smooth 40c rn is nice

45 now good enough

[empty quartz]

Why do you feel the need to update us on the temps?

Thats not even that low

[solar badger]

Hello guys looking for some help i just bought a new laptop and want to reinstall windows on it with a debloated one. is the cd key saved on the laptop or how do i find the cd key?

[flint badger]

Ok my guy not tht serious

[random gyro]

just click you don't have a key. It will auto activiate with your key when you reach desktop if you previously activated that board with legit key

[flint badger]

How do I get this page I only see the score

[tidal geyser]

how are you running steel nomad

[empty quartz]

?

[solar badger]

i was just thinking to not even boot it up just to install the debloated one right away.

[empty quartz]

Bro be running the temu version

[flint badger]

Yep temu forsure

Nah just had to full-screen myb

[solar badger]

cause id have to make a microsoft account, in order to get into windows which i dont wana do xD

[random gyro]

so it's a brand new, unactivated board?

[tidal geyser]

its a laptop

[solar badger]

should be buying it new refurbished, yes its a laptop

[random gyro]

should be a sticker if it's a laptop

[tidal geyser]

not with the code

just a sticker saying it has windows on it

[solar badger]

bought this one price was really good. i havent seen laptops put the key on a sticker in a long time.

[random gyro]

well it's likely activated by oem then

[silk halo]

If I get the 9070 xt do I need to phrase my power supply. I have a 650 w

[tidal geyser]

no

[random gyro]

corsair I think released 2025 series of psus

[solar badger]

imo that should be fine. will help if you undervolt too better performance and temps and less power

[hollow creek]

its gonna be fine

[silk halo]

What about a 5070 ti?

[solar badger]

and wost case you can power limit by like 10% and lose like 3% performance

[tidal geyser]

i would not go for a 5070 ti

only reason is if you NEED cuda

[hollow creek]

should be similar ish? 9070xt takes about 80ishw more power in average

[solar badger]

id buy a RTX 4000 card at lower price

pick up best 4000 you can in your price range

[silk halo]

I can’t. The only other option I would go for is a 4070 TI super but on marketplace they go for 800-1k

[flint badger]

man who got tht 7.9 wanna know his settings

[hollow creek]

theres always 7800/7900xt too

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser wasnt gorstak banned or smt from here

[silk halo]

Nah, the only amd card I would go for is 9070xt. I have a 3070 rn and I’m just trying to upgrade

[solar badger]

yeah at that price range might be worth getting 9070 or 9070xt

[flint badger]

undervolt go brrr

[solar badger]

yeah this day and age its all about undervolting

so op ❤️

[tidal geyser]

yeah i swear he did i think he was one of the crazy ppl

[empty quartz]

So he’s ban evading…

[random gyro]

I personally don't remember previously being here

[flint badger]

crazy it last longer and runs better

[silk halo]

I’ll sell my current card for 280 so realistically I’m only paying 350-400 for a 9070xt

[flint badger]

If u can secure one

[random gyro]

but if I was do ban me...I forgot

[silk halo]

Are oc ones worth it or just try getting one for $600ish

[flint badger]

should i try these settings

these are apparently the setting to get 5080perf on like cyberpunk no rt

[solar badger]

imo id get the best Nvida card i could get 3000-4000 series with in your budget/power supply budget(watts) i hate nvida as a company but there cards are just better 😦

[vivid pendant]

Has anybody here ever experimented with changing DLSS2 in Fortnite to DLSS 4

[elder quarry]

what did he do

[solar badger]

the only exception id make is AMD if you ever plan on daily driving Linux for your OS. AMD just plays way better with Linux then nvida does

[random gyro]

pls ban me quickly if I was previously banned. I have no desire to help anyone who banned me

[elder quarry]

just ask the moderators if you've done something worng

[flint badger]

wouldnt u know if u were banned

[random gyro]

I don't remember

[silk halo]

The only gpus I’d even consider buying rn is, 4070 ti super, 4080 super, 9070 xt, and 5070 ti.

I won’t be able to get any of the nvidia card for under 1k though

[dusky crest]

In binbows 7?

[brisk sundial]

if u were banned then how would u be unbanned??

[solar badger]

what card do you have atm??

[silk halo]

3070

[flint badger]

whaa

[solar badger]

honestly your fine for an other 2 years really in less you must play at top settings. i didnt replace my 1080ti till a year ago. but i dont know your use case and only you can say when you need to update 🙂

[silk sierra]

Anyone know of a case that has 9 pcie slots in it ?

[dusky crest]

The 7.9 pc rating thing

[flint badger]

for steel nomad was on win7?

[solar badger]

but yea i really would stick with greedy nvida if i could help it as they just gernaly perform better. although the newer 9070/9070xt are much closer now with there new fsr4. so now is porb one of the best times to try out amd.

[dusky crest]

I want a 7800xt lol

[silk halo]

Honestly I’ve been itching for an upgrade. I know I don’t need it

[flint badger]

i literally just came froma 3070 also kinda

[solar moat]

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#E=9,11'

[silk halo]

I just have the extra case rn so idk

[flint badger]

within the last two months i had a 3080ti a 4070 and a 3090

[dusky crest]

I mean amd just lacked in rtx department

[silk halo]

Did you really see substantial gains

[solar moat]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hwNp99/aerocool-case-en52436 very nice case if you can find it

[dusky crest]

What the heck lol

[solar moat]

try having 3 gpu s die in a week

[tidal geyser]

what

[solar moat]

dont

[flint badger]

lol most def

[silk sierra]

My god that’s a old case

[dusky crest]

What the hell

[vivid pendant]

why not? dlss is upscaling not cheating

[flint badger]

lol i sold em with builds i made

[dusky crest]

Ah

[flint badger]

expect the 3090 somone offered 925 so i said fuck it

[solar moat]

easy way to get worse KtD

[vivid pendant]

KtD?? im not playing ranked lol

[flint badger]

damn man how tf did this guy undervolt -175

[vivid pendant]

im a casual player i just want my 120 in 4k without lowering settings

[flint badger]

anytime i go lower than -75 my shit crashes

[dusky crest]

I don't even have a working gpu
Maybe my mxm gpu but whatever

[solar moat]

come on it runs 200+fps easy with out it with 10 year old parts so i think you will just be worse if you use dlss due to just worse image

[vivid pendant]

i dont really keep track of my kill to death ration but i can promise it sucks

[solar moat]

and if your not playing ranked why do you need more then 120fps

[vivid pendant]

im in 4k using max every setting so no it doesnt. any video on the 5090 it runs 70-90 fps

[dusky crest]

My only pcie gpu displays colorful squares

[tidal geyser]

maybe try not doing that

[vivid pendant]

because to me it looks choppy below 100

[silk halo]

Honestly I think I’ll do this. I’ll buy a 9070 xt and if I don’t like it I’ll just return it

[solar moat]

LOL

[solar moat]

ok and?

just dont run RT

[vivid pendant]

nah ill run it and get over 100 i got dlss 4 on here now

got it working so

[solar moat]

what cpu?

[vivid pendant]

9800x3d

[solar moat]

that sad cpu

[flint badger]

#ballin

[tidal geyser]

probs the same performance with a r5 7600

[dusky crest]

Why sad cpu?

[vivid pendant]

i have no use for the 9950x3d

[solar moat]

may aswell get 4790k sicne its that gpu limtied

[vivid pendant]

thats a very stuipid thing to say you think 4k fortnite is the only thing i do?

[dusky crest]

What game we talking?

[solar moat]

they playing fornight and getting worse fps then i do since max all at 4k

[vivid pendant]

i play competetive in marvel rivals i need my frames

[dusky crest]

4k fortnite loll

[tidal geyser]

i think that is even less reliant on the cpu

[dusky crest]

Dumb that's all i can say

[solar moat]

4k is fine just not max every thing

[vivid pendant]

are you using any type of upscalling and are you sure everything is maxed

[vivid pendant]

1440p i use for rivals it uses the cpu

[solar moat]

my pc cant upscail

[tidal geyser]

well i would hope so but how much

[vivid pendant]

then show the max setting in fortnite with your fps

[tidal geyser]

XESS and FSR

[solar moat]

dont make it run better

[dusky crest]

It's an fps shooter, do 1080p low hand have a 1000hz monitor

[tidal geyser]

rip

[vivid pendant]

i play games on max or i dont play them thats just me

i could have grabbed a 5080 with the exact model i wanted but i went for a 90 for this reason

[dusky crest]

Bruh

[solar moat]

i get 160fps

[dusky crest]

Imagine maxing out a game on an lcd

[flint badger]

https://tenor.com/view/chuckles-in-rich-chuckle-the-hustle-chuckle-rich-rich-gif-21028996

[vivid pendant]

show that with 100% maxed settings lol

[vivid pendant]

im using oled wtf?

[solar moat]

RIP i be back in 2 hours

[dusky crest]

Did i say anything about you?

[solar moat]

wow that bad

[vivid pendant]

currently ingame 100% of everything maxed

[dusky crest]

Loll

[tidal geyser]

at 4k

[dusky crest]

I bet i can get better fps in fortnite without a gpu

[vivid pendant]

at 4k yes turning rt off had 0 inpact on fps lol

[dusky crest]

On my shitbox

[vivid pendant]

i have a feeling fortnite doesnt run fvery well on 50 series yet

[dusky crest]

Not at 4k, at native

[dusky crest]

||1440x900||

[tidal geyser]

RT is on

[solar moat]

RIP why you have nanite on?

[vivid pendant]

yes thats on

[dusky crest]

You have a thing off

[tidal geyser]

pretty lights

[vivid pendant]

you can only turn that on with upscalling

[tidal geyser]

what??

[solar moat]

why cant game devs optmized the games

[dusky crest]

Upscale to 8k

[dusky crest]

Because they have realized that they don't need to

[tidal geyser]

also i can even do native 1440p MAX MAX settings and get like 80+ fps on my 7900 XTX

[vivid pendant]

tsr functions bad on 50 cards

[solar moat]

come on when game looks worse then gta5 and runs at 20% of fps and you say that

[tidal geyser]

no shit TSR is always bad

[median warren]

Is it fortnite?

[tidal geyser]

just use TAA

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-yes-agree-nod-nodding-gif-17512051

[solar moat]

taa looks like ass

[median warren]

Fortnite also has some issues with fps I've heard

[vivid pendant]

taa is the worst possible setting

[median warren]

Like 1% lows specifically

[tidal geyser]

it looks better then fxaa

[solar moat]

not to me in fps games

[tidal geyser]

for me it looks the best

[dusky crest]

Well they don't care to because people will play either way

[solar moat]

i seen 13400F onlt get 30fps lows

[median warren]

Yeah idk what they did with recent updates but it messes up 1% lows

[vivid pendant]

fortnites new updates screwed fps for many people

[tidal geyser]

not me

[dusky crest]

What about .1% lows?

[solar moat]

best part of all same game patched i played with older pc and got 2x the lows with 4790/gtx 970

[west wagon]

Please tell me this is 8k

[dusky crest]

Same cuz i don't play garbage

[vivid pendant]

no thats not 8k tsr is just bad on the 50 cards

[flint badger]

what program to use for overclocking?

[solar moat]

unless gpu none

[west wagon]

Name one thing the 50 cards are good at except ai

[elder quarry]

bios

[tidal geyser]

any cpu that does not have official support for windows 11 i noticed tends to performe like utter garbage in fortnite at least for my testing

[tidal geyser]

everything but price?

[tidal geyser]

the 5090 is a major leep

[solar moat]

i can say that not the case

[west wagon]

You do know price is the core denominator in anything you can buy right

[dusky crest]

Melting
Exploding

[elder quarry]

and 32 bit PhysX

[tidal geyser]

you did not say anything about that

[west wagon]

Common sense buddy

[tidal geyser]

you only said except ai

[tidal geyser]

not really, some people have enough money to where a 5090 does make sense

like with the 4090 gaming performance you just could not get anything better

[west wagon]

Some people can buy Bugatti ! Must mean Bugatti is the best car right

[tidal geyser]

workstation class cards only have the 4090 tier of gaming performance
