All video cards are shit

[sinful cobalt]

ur tuning made it go 30815

[mellow cairn]

I render my pixels like the good lord intended, as vectors on a crt.

[sinful cobalt]

which is basically 5080 territory

[tidal geyser]

cpu render :3

[high elm]

💀

[sinful cobalt]

[sinful cobalt]

go hangout by crinacle then go hotpot at bugis yes

[high elm]

i need see if i free

bruh it suddenly started raining

[mellow cairn]

.... I say that sitting on the couch using a phone with AMOLED, and a laptop with OLED sitting there, and I can see my son's iPad and the LCD TV.. so you know. There's a few screens here.

[sinful cobalt]

saturday or sunday pick ur poison

at worst friday night

[high elm]

im a very busy man

[sinful cobalt]

my ass

[high elm]

but actually i legit am

[sinful cobalt]

but ur technically not wrong

considering somehow u were like 1-2 hrs late last time

[high elm]

i still got ban leong to settle

Asus also

[sinful cobalt]

average asus experience

[high elm]

then corbell

[sinful cobalt]

average gigabyte QC experience

[high elm]

gigabyte is under CDL

[sinful cobalt]

na fk them, buying shit from pckaki means my rma appointments are literal 5 mins away

[high elm]

oyea for 4090 rma under ban leong right

[sinful cobalt]

how did we go from 4080 and 5070ti fighting 5080 to a 4090

[high elm]

they will refer u to asus bugis

[sinful cobalt]

LOL

that place is so secluded

[high elm]

i think got ppl go send in knowingly broken cards

with serial number swapped

[elder quarry]

lol

[sinful cobalt]

asus deserves to be scammed anyways

[high elm]

lmao

shit service

[sinful cobalt]

tbf i am using asrock which was an entity under asus but anymore

but at least my “shit” product didnt kena 3 times

[high elm]

asrock boards are cheap asf

[sinful cobalt]

2 month mc
faulty sendback
broken again

[elder quarry]

asusrock, asus, but solid

[sinful cobalt]

fr got a x870 steel legend for the price of a b650 steel legend

[elder quarry]

wut how

[high elm]

discount hunting

[sinful cobalt]

amazon export shit was cheaper than local

plus bizgram didnt even have the steel legend b650 when i checked

[high elm]

usually they dont carry mid range asrock

only low end

[elder quarry]

niceeeeee

[sinful cobalt]

I rmb the b850i asrock phantom was going for like $340 bro

thats $10 cheaper than the b650i msi edge

lowk crazy deal but cant find it anymore

[elder quarry]

the fuck

that's much

[sinful cobalt]

also ig imma be using this asrock mobo till it dies or smth then ill swap it out for the 800 series aorus elite ice

[sinful cobalt]

sing dollars

[high elm]

actl right i think paying SGD$700 for a motherboard is pretty standard

$340 considered very cheap already

[sinful cobalt]

700 for a mobo is straight up diabolical

700 is basically almost the msrp of the 9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

no?

[sinful cobalt]

in singapore dollars

[tidal geyser]

9800X3D can be bought for 480$ since that is its msrp

[sinful cobalt]

not freedom fighting units

[tidal geyser]

dam

[grave jay]

1GBps internret speed?

[solar moat]

wow that 160x what i got

[tidal geyser]

so 8Gb

[solar moat]

helps when i dont miss read

[tidal geyser]

not even 10gig

[solar moat]

since i get 50Mb internet

at least i got 1Gbps networking set up at hope

[tidal geyser]

i will with some hope soon have 10GbE

[latent pasture]

we started at 50mbps and got progressivelu upgraded to now 300mbps as the isp grew

cost didnt change

[tidal geyser]

yea happened to my dad, went from 75 to 150

75Mb internet is a pain

[high elm]

1gbps is enuf ngl

[tidal geyser]

not internet

[high elm]

O

[tidal geyser]

Ethernet

[elder quarry]

bandwidth

[mellow cairn]

No

[tidal geyser]

i want 40Gb

[mellow cairn]

enough for you maybe!

[high elm]

like ive never ever used my 10gbps plan to its full potential

my 2nd pc literally bottlenecks the internet speed

[tidal geyser]

no

[wheat torrent]

Ho much it costs

[high elm]

like $49

[wheat torrent]

Cheap

[high elm]

cheapest you can find is $20

they dont give u a ro it er though

[tidal geyser]

how do you know it is?

[high elm]

cuz on my 13900K it does 8k+ mbps

same cable same shit

same nic

[tidal geyser]

soooo laptop vs 13900k and only like 2k difference

that is the speed test server

or the NIC is shit

[high elm]

im on the same server

[high elm]

its a connectX 3

[mellow cairn]

oh, for internet, sure

[wheat torrent]

10gbps plan but gets 6000 mbps

[sinful cobalt]

allat pc and internet performance just to be on a 1080p monitor

[tidal geyser]

you did a pcie device for a laptop

[wheat torrent]

Gg

[high elm]

cuz the cpu aint doing it justice

[tidal geyser]

too slow

[high elm]

both are pcs

ones on a b450m pro 4 and the other on a Z790-A

[tidal geyser]

o wait i am just snorting something

[wheat torrent]

Goofy Ahh elevator

[tidal geyser]

last time i checked am4 did not really have many cpus that can get close to a 13900k

[steel umbra]

Very slow

[frail delta]

My bad

[tidal geyser]

how did you cool the NIC

[high elm]

120mm fan pointed at the heatsink

[wheat torrent]

Bruh I can't send images no more on discord

[tidal geyser]

since those NICs are made for servers where it gets pure airflow from the front fans

[wheat torrent]

Since they are above 10 mb

[tidal geyser]

max speed?

[wheat torrent]

And my camera takes photos bigger than 10mb

Gg

[high elm]

no my room is air conditioned to 20 degrees so didnt really need it

[tidal geyser]

o well anyways, i suspect the speed test server cant even do 10Gb

[kindred halo]

Simply LMAO

[high elm]

download speeds are amazing though

even if its limited by the cpu

[tidal geyser]

decompression

[cosmic viper]

laptop recommendations? budget is $695, will be used for work productivity

[dapper light]

main storage drives getting real low

[sinful cobalt]

@high elm i uv’d my 5070ti now its maxxing at 230w and still acheiving similar performance to a stock one

[slim cloak]

Jow come the 9070 XT runs so cool? My old 3070 easily reached 80°C while the XT barley exceeds 60

[sinful cobalt]

Im gonna try boosting the memory to 2000 instead of 1500

[tidal geyser]

overbuilt cooler

[slim cloak]

Even for the reaper? Cause that cooler is quite compact

[sinful cobalt]

9000 and 50 series coolers are all overbuilt lmao

[tidal geyser]

cooler tech has also come a long way

[slim cloak]

Well I'm not complaining

[sinful cobalt]

lowk I think I can break 31000 score if I edit the curve properly

[shrewd lance]

i got a quick question, how big of a difference is between the 9070xt and the rtx 4070 super?

[tidal geyser]

um

you are comaparing a like 4080 performance card to umm not that

[elder quarry]

what's fine

[tidal geyser]

its meant to be at 95c

[true warren]

put some meat on top of the pc, nice bbq

[elder quarry]

it's rippin

[torpid fjord]

Apparently caps lock is not allowed ):

[elder quarry]

why do you have anti virus software

[elder quarry]

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

:3

[torpid fjord]

My friend bought a new m4 MacBook

[elder quarry]

good for you

[shrewd lance]

so let me guess, the 4070 super aint that good

[torpid fjord]

He was running an ai program, Minecraft with 200 render distance, with shaders on max settings

[grave jay]

my macbook is running 5 antivirus softwares

[torpid fjord]

It was screaming

[tidal geyser]

its fine but the 9070 xt is A LOT like A LOT better

[true warren]

ᵗʰᵉⁿ ᵘˢᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵖᵖᵒˢᶦᵗᵉ ᶜᵃᵖˢ ˡᵒᶜᵏ ᵏᵉʸ

[shrewd lance]

it was a prebuilt compared to a parts build so inwas curious on how it would be

i also dont really know what type of cooler to get for a 9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

it uses like 80w when gaming

[shrewd lance]

would you mind looking at my pc build i wanna get?

[sinful cobalt]

phantom spirit 120 evo by thermalright

[tidal geyser]

send it here

[shrewd lance]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MeIa1EJhveGgDT-tuEp3AGnh4ARr_mAL6hmsg68tlUk/edit?usp=drivesdk

here you go

[steel umbra]

9070 xt is 20% faster V 4070 s

Unless RT or something else than gaming average

[sinful cobalt]

does having a 2nd monitor active but just displaying a wallpaper affect the 3d mark gpu score negatively?

[true warren]

nice one
close to the pc I'm building in 2025 🙂

[sinful cobalt]

UV'd 5070ti at 230w performing slightly better than a stock 5070ti while having a 44c max is lowk fire

[tame acorn]

im looking for a decent laptop for uni studies (maybe playing some roblox here and there on it), plus some programming using vscode, ideally 16gb of ram minimum - any recommendations? probably gonna get something second hand for cheap and dont really want to spend too much on it at all, like 400 to 700 new zealand dollars

[shrewd lance]

@tidal geyser m so, how is it?

[elder quarry]

stay to your post and don't crosspost and copy+paste https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1354031743358730271

[elder quarry]

regarding what

[tame acorn]

didnt realize that channel existed

[elder quarry]

you just made it yourself

[storm jasper]

Can anyone tell me 1080p benchmarks using the RX 7600, R5 5600T and 32GB DDR4?

[tame acorn]

yeah when i realized it existed

[shrewd lance]

the build i've sent above

[mortal mantle]

why does Windows always pick the worst time for a update

[tidal geyser]

how is what

[elder quarry]

something something spreadsheet build

we are humans, can't read spreadsheets

[shrewd lance]

yeah, fair

the only thing im not sure about is the cooler

[tidal geyser]

the cooler should be fine but i would look for something like the phantom spirit 120 se

[elder quarry]

or peerless assasin

[nocturne crater]

I just dusted off the dust protector for my NXZT case on my CPU fans, and doing that dropped temps by 10C on both CPU and GPU

[azure fog]

this is pretty bad at idle right? like my pc isnt doing anything but having chrome open

[elder quarry]

it's chrome

[shrewd lance]

thanks for the help

[azure fog]

i think its cus i havent dusted it in ages

[wheat torrent]

I had tech support from ISP come and swap the router and he needed to use my computer, force update when I turned it on

[azure fog]

i suppose i dont have to worry then

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[elder quarry]

I gotta repaste my laptop

[azure fog]

i understand its probably not damaging the processor but still, feels a bit steamy 😭

[stoic nova]

You can set active hours in the settings. It won't force a restart anytime in those active hours

[mortal mantle]

still did it

[stoic nova]

It will have a pop-up saying updates are ready to install and needs to restart but you can Skip it

Well there's also a registry hack you can do too

[tidal geyser]

no

am5 cpus are made to do 95c 24/7

[azure fog]

is ryzen 5 5600 am5?

i thought it was am4

[tidal geyser]

no

[elder quarry]

yeah, just not much headroom... that's idle

[tidal geyser]

but it can do 90c fine

[azure fog]

i was gaming on 2042 yesterday on max settings and it peaked like 92c

[stoic nova]

Us humans are 70% water. Computer chips are made of sand. To put it in perspective

[azure fog]

i'll probably still cop a duster soon tho

[elder quarry]

and some thermal paste

[azure fog]

this too

i have some at home

so we're chilling

[urban salmon]

I currently have a 3060 and was thinking abt upgrading to a 1440p monitor for my bd present is it worth it or should i get smthing else for my present

[tidal geyser]

get it and use DLSS

funny thing that card due to having more vram can beat out a 4060 in a lot of games at 1440p

[urban salmon]

Ic

What settings cos i dont know much about like the ray tracing dlss and stuff

[tidal geyser]

integrated circuit

[tidal geyser]

you just turn on upscaling and use DLSS quality or something

[urban salmon]

What does it do?

[tidal geyser]

upscale

it renders at low res and upscales

[urban salmon]

So cos its rendering at lower res its fatset?

Faster like more fps

[tidal geyser]

as in it takes the missing pixels then uses ai to generate the missing ones

[tidal geyser]

yus

[urban salmon]

Mmmmm

Will it make your game look weird in any way or nah

[elder quarry]

fatset

[urban salmon]

Fatset

[tidal geyser]

it can make it look a tiny bit worse but its nice

[urban salmon]

Okay ty

[tidal geyser]

its come a very long way and modern versions its hard to tell a difference

[elder quarry]

why did you randomly say ic

[urban salmon]

I see

[urban salmon]

I=I c=see

ohh ye skills

why do you want LLM

[tidal geyser]

to look cool

[mellow cairn]

lol piss off

[tidal geyser]

just do not use AI

can barely even form a sentence

what

!d @random shadow 2d

[elder quarry]

<@&750150305383186585> @random shadow usage of selfbot

[tidal geyser]

tf is dat

[elder quarry]

selfbot

[elder quarry]

sent this message or somethin

[tidal geyser]

well 1d

[mellow cairn]

loooooool

[tidal geyser]

then what did you use

[elder quarry]

you typed som random command and all your messages got dleetet

you can obviously disable it

what is it

[tidal geyser]

its a remote discord bot, you just stop it from running?

[shrewd lance]

whats selfbot?

[elder quarry]

you just did it. also I've seen people send embeds with these things iirc

[mellow cairn]

unless it was stupid

[tidal geyser]

xd

[elder quarry]

it's like a bot but you use it on yourself

[tidal geyser]

there he went

oy was it mods or him

[elder quarry]

it was him

[tidal geyser]

o he turned it back on by accident

[elder quarry]

he's still here and no mod said nothin

[tidal geyser]

did he just delete 1 year of shit XD

[elder quarry]

oop

[sullen obsidian]

pretty dumb person tbh

[elder quarry]

hello barrington

[elder quarry]

agreed

[shrewd lance]

right.. and what does it actually do that makes it against rules?

[elder quarry]

breaks the Terms of Service

[tidal geyser]

i just imagine every single program like that having RCE

[shrewd lance]

oh

but nothing malicious

[mellow cairn]

aside from that, deleting all your stuff is fucked

[elder quarry]

botting your own account? yes... yes it can be malicious

[shrewd lance]

true

[elder quarry]

probably

or they got offered something like that and sent their password to a server

[shrewd lance]

seems like a cool piece of code tbh

i remember my brother making a few bots for fun cause he hated mee6 lmao

normal Computer Science activities tbf

[elder quarry]

that was not selfbots

[elder quarry]

last time I checked discords api sucked

[shrewd lance]

while i dont know how to code or use this type of programs i find them very interesting

[elder quarry]

yee, do you know any language?

[shrewd lance]

nope

except english and romanian lmao

[elder quarry]

programming lang

[shrewd lance]

yeah, i was joking

[dapper light]

must be a vibe coder

[dapper light]

i made my own discord bot for LLM because existing one all SUCKED

[elder quarry]

in what language?

[dapper light]

Python

and SQL

[elder quarry]

how's the API

[dapper light]

the discord framework for it is very intuitive

[elder quarry]

noice

[dapper light]

lmao

[elder quarry]

that's so cursed

[true stirrup]

It's actually pretty good
I even made some extensions to Nextcord for myself for some things not implemented by them

[elder quarry]

oh wow, gotta get back to it

[elder quarry]

just tabbed a bunch in neovim, with supermaven. This s waht I got lol:

elif (self.state == self.STATE.WAIT_FOR_SIGNATURE):
            if (self.signature == None):
                self.signature = self.get_signature()
                if (self.signature != None):
                    self.state = self.STATE.WAIT_FOR_TRANSACTION
                    self.transaction = None
                    self.transaction_hash = None

[slim slate]

Im actually shocked with Macbooks😳 my gf was looking at some used macs and i see they were still on DDR3 (well LPDDR3) in 2019😳😳

[elder quarry]

ddr3 is fine

[true stirrup]

I honestly have no idea what that code is trying to do

[elder quarry]

me neither

some sort of transaction

[true stirrup]

For discord bots either make your own class from their API or use Nextcord

[dapper light]

discord.py

[slim slate]

MacOS is light and they are generally fast but surprised they were still producing LPDDR3 pc’s when LPDDR5 came out

[true stirrup]

I personally prefer Nextcord over discord.py

[elder quarry]

uhm. maven?

generating discord tokens

[true stirrup]

Yeah no scrap that lol

[dapper light]

is very good to use

ignore the yellow file names, unactivated venv :P

[elder quarry]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

command_prefix = '!'
for i in range(1, 10):
    command_prefix += '!'

token = 'NzE1MTE0MTk2NDY0ND

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=discord.Intents.all())
setup(bot)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot is ready')

ah yes, functional code

[true stirrup]

You don't need cog for simple stuff

[elder quarry]

I have no idea what that is. I just let supermaven do some things and typed like "bot" or "async" or "def" and so on when it wasn't jelping

lol

[true stirrup]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

[elder quarry]

ooh

[turbid shore]

I got it removed !

[coral falcon]

Hi everyone

[dapper light]

nothing sucks more than python packages that needs to be built from source

[cold skiff]

Everyone likes building wheels

[true stirrup]

Wait until you get into the miss matching dependencies hell

[elder quarry]

move to arch

[dapper light]

Linux comes with more headache than windows does ngl

coming from someone who dailies fedora on the laptop

[elder quarry]

?

why is so

[dapper light]

i can't think on the top of my head

despite using both i still find windows to be simply less mental load

[elder quarry]

you don't need to manually build everything with aur helpers

[elder quarry]

linux iis nicer

also less shitty

[dapper light]

5 whole minute buiding the wheel only to find out parallel is removed on mmcv >=2.0

[elder quarry]

lol

[true stirrup]

Told you

[mellow cairn]

lol not for me - but I have been using linux for a million years

[elder quarry]

what distroo

[spiral estuary]

what would the card just underneath the 9070xt be in terms of like price to performance with the price being slightly lower

[high elm]

nothing

[elder quarry]

9070?

[mellow cairn]

ubuntu on the laptop

[high elm]

atp just pay for the XT

[spiral estuary]

i've heard its not a great deal considering its like 50 less for quite a loss in performance

[elder quarry]

you asked for it

[spiral estuary]

yh that's what im plannign but its just as a backup cause stock in my country is kinda ass

[elder quarry]

9070

[obtuse raven]

Just a few switches

[sand epoch]

jokes aside , is iphone 13 actually worth it more than s24 fe?

[dapper light]

getting a new ISP has to be one of the best decision i ever made kek (old one only 100mbit, same price too)

[sand epoch]

looking for something on the 350$ range

i meant is the iphone hype really worth it

[worthy basin]

Is it possible for the power button my PC case to get worn out? It's a Corsair Q400. The button used to take jsut a quick press to turn on my PC, but now it's more like a press and hold.

[sand epoch]

ive seen so many content criticizing iphone but I can't tell if it's propaganda or not

well between these two

iphone is 30$ more than the s24 fe but whatever

[cosmic stratus]

the only reason why I dual boot linux mint

[elder quarry]

What reason? (Also great)

[neat flame]

its pretty efficient

[neat flame]

s24 fe is infinitely better

13 is much older

[oblique jay]

I'm tryns upgrade my phone too but put iPhone off the board cos I can't use them 😄 whag phone are u coming from?

[bronze jay]

How much should I spend on a 4tb CMR 7200rpm full sized hard drive

They all say frequently returned item. For fucks sake.

Should I be using a store that's not Amazon

[cyan bay]

yo is this bad?

[raven sluice]

your name is Rufus?

cool

[bronze jay]

Rufus is Amazon's ai assistant

[steel umbra]

For those who dare

[elder quarry]

lol

[tidal geyser]

google.com and no

[grizzled frost]

perfect for my laptop

[plush wren]

😭

genius

[hoary tree]

How tf is it getting 40ms of latency at 100fps…? This has to be using frame gen

[grim pasture]

purr purr

slay uwu

[bronze jay]

Copilot made a good point. They said that 5400rpm drives may be better suited for backups because they generate less heat and friction and so wear down slower

[tidal geyser]

it predicts your movements before you do it

[tidal geyser]

many factors

[bronze jay]

I had a long conversation with copilot and decided on this https://a.co/d/0pYgPQt

[grizzled frost]

having a conversation with an ai to decide what to buy is crazy

[bronze jay]

It does a good job and is receptive to my complaints

I even ask for help with Linux sometimes and it always gives good ideas

But then I come back here to check with you guys because AI makes mistakes

[tidal geyser]

are you in the US

[bronze jay]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

why are you buying new

you can get 2x the size and speed for the same or lower price

https://serverpartdeals.com/

[bronze jay]

I have terrible luck. Shit doesn't work for me

I installed Nvidia drivers and it froze my mouse

[tidal geyser]

skill issue

[tidal geyser]

no that is just nvidia drivers being shit

[bronze jay]

Agreed

[grizzled frost]

use 566.36

[tidal geyser]

god i feel so sad for all the peopel who bought nvidia

[bronze jay]

I use 550

[tidal geyser]

sadly cant work on anything rtx 5000

[bronze jay]

I bought it when I was a Windows user

[grizzled frost]

“bUt AmD dRiVeR iSsUeS!”

[bronze jay]

I'm going to get amd and sell the one I bought for the price I got it for. It's only 3 months old and I've been good to it

[grizzled frost]

what card?

[tidal geyser]

wut

[devout canopy]

A door fell on my monitor this morning 😔

[tidal geyser]

make the door pay for the damages

anyways how did that even happen

[grizzled frost]

sue the door for emotional damages too

[devout canopy]

My house getting renovated

Even a part of the door broke

[tidal geyser]

welp, sadly its a new monitor as the panel itself costs more then the monitor

[bronze jay]

I switched to Linux because Microsoft keeps pissing me off with their corporate bullshit

I use edge and copilot because they work well for me, but I'll be damned if I let Microsoft dictate what I do

The final straw was not being allowed to have both task bars the same in windows 11

And the fact that they're killing windows 10 is an afront on its own, but they're also not letting certain systems to upgrade

It's like they want e waste

[tidal geyser]

tbf the computers not supported aint the best

they aint bad but not great

[bronze jay]

Yeah but too bad

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind how many computers are supported on 10

[bronze jay]

They're killing 10 in october

[tidal geyser]

10 is so basic due to not having great hardware to work with

[mortal mantle]

how the fuck is GPT-4o mini smart enough to instaguess a song with only a YT link

[bronze jay]

I was okay with the restriction until they decided to kill Windows 10

[tidal geyser]

restriction?

[bronze jay]

Hardware requirements

[mortal mantle]

non existant

(at least on my RX Vega 56)

[tidal geyser]

you can still bypass it unless you have core 2 duo level specs

[tidal geyser]

not had one on my XTX

[bronze jay]

Like in a hacker way or like a checkbox

[tidal geyser]

rufus

aka the last one

[bronze jay]

People shouldn't have to learn how to do that

Most people are normies remember

They don't want to figure this stupid s*** out

[tidal geyser]

what

are you not able to click some check boxes?

[bronze jay]

It's easy for me

But it will confuse some people

[tidal geyser]

they have to get a zero on the SATs to be unable to do it

[bronze jay]

And that's stupid

Your grandma doesn't know how to use rufus

[mortal mantle]

and yet people recommend normies linux (if they have old hardware)

[tidal geyser]

she does know how to look at pictures

[grizzled frost]

that was exactly my point, good job

[plush wren]

she doesnt want to

[bronze jay]

I don't

I say it's worth it if you can get over the learning curve and that I'm willing to help

Most people should stay on Windows

[tidal geyser]

here it is in 6 pictures

[bronze jay]

And that's not an insult. Most people shouldn't tune their cars.

[mortal mantle]

hell GS Win10 works pretty well on a Core 2 Duo P8700 (if you can find it)

[gloomy sleet]

windows just works for most things

[mortal mantle]

(though would I recommend it hell no)

[gloomy sleet]

if your trying to run pretty old and not supported software windows is kind of the only way

can’t even run GP4 native

Google earth vs today

Seems like those big trucks I saw yesterday did do something

[dark comet]

Is Canada computers a trustworthy store to buy GPU from? They have the lowest prices but some people are saying the products are missing parts or don't work and their return policy is bad

[sinful cobalt]

any1 here use a glass mousepad and whats ur experience?

[copper maple]

Is cachyos Linux a good option for daily driving?

[cedar hollow]

idk why i spent like 5 mins actually looking for one of these for sale

[gloomy sleet]

i used one and it was pretty good

[viscid star]

Not bad for the middle of nowhere

[gloomy sleet]

i liked a bigger pad though

i’m not a sweaty pro gamer who needs an £80 mousepad i just thought glass was cool

[cedar hollow]

i got an artisan mousepad

[viscid star]

[cedar hollow]

the hayate otsu mousepad i bought imported from japan

[viscid star]

Artesian was a nice idea but the dude who ran it was a jerk

[cedar hollow]

Artesian is different from Artisan

artesian built pcs and was indeed ran by an idiot

artisan is a japanese company that makes some of the best mousepads in the world

[gloomy sleet]

i got a £7 cookie monster mouse pad my wife found on amazon (only good enough pic i have of it

[viscid star]

Their employees were legit

[cedar hollow]

Yea

[distant frigate]

Ahhh AT&T lmao

[spring latch]

im gonna be honest I cant stand windows anymore
linux has sucked me in

[cedar hollow]

me but with macOS

i don’t like windows much now either

[spring latch]

i wish i had the chance to try mac

[cedar hollow]

it’s good if apple silicon

[spring latch]

i could virtualize it but my pentium silver could probably only emulate x86 OS X 10.6 or maybe 10.7

considering i have 4GB of ram that is

[viscid star]

AT&T > Verizon

[spring latch]

TMobile > US. Cell (This opinion assumes your using a basic unlimited / prepaid unlimited plan on us cellular and you need hot spots / usb tethering w/ out wifi)

[viscid star]

Trying Aura

[cedar hollow]

NVIDIA > AMD

[viscid star]

Canada > US

[spring latch]

innacurate unless your talking about the current preformance cards (not including price) or NVIDIAs past

[spring latch]

as an Iowa American I can verify this is probably true

[cedar hollow]

i meant that as a sarcastic joke but it’s pretty subjective

nvidia has CUDA which is all powerful

AMD does have better raster per dollar for games

but that’s pretty much it

[spring latch]

at the same time their releasing 50 series cards in single digits and cutting off 40 series production

[cedar hollow]

they have to cut off 40 series production tbf

they can’t have two product lines on the same fab

[spring latch]

not true

they doing the 50 series and the RTX 6000 pro

well

[cedar hollow]

those are both blackwell

[spring latch]

fair enough

[cedar hollow]

and they run on the same chip and architecture

[distant frigate]

Not bad

[spring latch]

but the RTX 6000 Pro is kinda proof that nvidia might not even care about the gamers anymore

[spring latch]

iirc my wifi is slower

[cedar hollow]

I mean the 6000 pro is just a more unlocked 5090 with more vram

it’s nothing out of the ordinary for nvidia they’ve been doing that for over a decade

[spring latch]

pretty sure it also uses 2 blackwell chips not 1

[cedar hollow]

No it’s one GB202 chip

[spring latch]

this is on wifi

guys what if i dual boot ubuntu and android x86

[cedar hollow]

hmmm

[latent gull]

Is that att WiFi or the 5g+ cellular thing?

[gleaming rose]

nothing interesting will happen, although it may be a challenge to do so without two drives, i havent installed android x86 in a while
use blissos instead of android x86

Oh to live in a big city

[cedar hollow]

that was in an airport tbf

[spring latch]

as long as i tell it not to reinstall grub

[latent gull]

Makes sense

[cedar hollow]

they have literal mmwave towers inside the airport

[latent gull]

Don’t tell the general public that

[distant frigate]

Love mmWave

[orchid aspen]

i have done it the chromebook booted into windows

[cedar hollow]

the general public when a fraction of the suns energy is radiated via cellphone tower:

[gloomy sleet]

but muh radio waves

[latent gull]

Inb4 you get more radiation from the actual flight than you do from the mmWave

[distant frigate]

Saw someone do 5.6 Gbps download on mmWave with aggregation.

[cedar hollow]

real

[gloomy sleet]

is 5g radio or micro i wonder

[gloomy sleet]

you get more "radiation" from visible light then radio waves

[cedar hollow]

mmwave gets its name from the fact the wavelengths is legit 1mm-10mm wide

[bronze summit]

Is it weird

That mornings on other places feel more chill than mornings on your own city

[cedar hollow]

technically mmwave is microwave although the top of the band borders infrared

[bronze summit]

Like you wake up outside and just go "This shit sucks" on your city but when you wake up on a random motel in LA and go out to see the blue haze and just feel calm

[gloomy sleet]

visible light has a higher chance of causing "radiation" then mmwave lol

[tidal geyser]

Chance?

[slim cloak]

Can a mobo limit how much power a CPU can draw?

[distant frigate]

Interesting

[gloomy sleet]

causing harm from it

VL never hurt nobody

[tidal geyser]

It's not chance it's just bot possible

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[true stirrup]

Yes but you would only really notice it when heavily overclocking
Ignore this

[tidal geyser]

Wut

[latent gull]

Unless it’s a chip from like 2020-2023, then it’s allowed to fry itself

[tidal geyser]

There are lga 1700 motherboards that can't do more then like 90w

[slim cloak]

where in the specs would I find that limit?

[true stirrup]

Wait really? Like at all?

[tidal geyser]

Ever wonder why I keep going on about, just buy a motherboard with VRM heatsinks

And you will be fine

Since a lot of the ones that do not have em will be very limited

[true stirrup]

Ah yeah I was just focusing on how much the socket can provide, your right

[tidal geyser]

Socket ain't the biggest issue, rather cpu power would be bigger after VRMs

[distant frigate]

800G. Nice.

Think 1.6T should be available soon if it’s not already.

[tidal geyser]

More places might see cheap 10Gb

I really wonder how the Internet would look like a few years after that

[crude blade]

I bought Ddr5 ram but now that I have it I’m realizing I’m not 100% sure if my motherboard supports ddr5. How would I find out? How bad is it if I stick it in and it isn’t supported?

[tidal geyser]

What cpu

Hurb

What cpu do you use

[true stirrup]

You won't even be able to put in DDR5 ram into a DDR4 motherboard

[crude blade]

Is aI5-9600

[tidal geyser]

He is alive

[crude blade]

9800*

[tidal geyser]

What

[tidal geyser]

Is it a ryzen 7 9800x3d?

Or intel i5 9600?

[crude blade]

This

[tidal geyser]

That's ddr4 only

[crude blade]

But an I5-9800 iirc

[tidal geyser]

No

[crude blade]

Fuck

[tidal geyser]

There is no i5 9800

[crude blade]

That blows okay

[tidal geyser]

Anyways what did you expect ddr5 was not really even out for 9th gen

[latent gull]

I5 9800 xtx

[frosty prism]

any problems with my build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qGQRHW (gpu is black ignore it being white)

[crude blade]

Idk lmao

[tidal geyser]

This cpu supports ddr5

But also ddr4

[crude blade]

Bro my motherboard only 2666MHz this shit SO ASS

[tidal geyser]

That is intel for you

[crude blade]

Is any brand of ram fine so long as it’s ddr4?

[tidal geyser]

I would do silicon power as its cheap

[true stirrup]

As long as it isn't LPX yes

[tidal geyser]

Just do not buy corsair

[crude blade]

https://a.co/d/btsuvkO Th is look good?

[frosty prism]

okay so whats the issue

[hoary tree]

Lol "vivo vision"

[true stirrup]

I'm pretty sure sim was telling that to Hurb who bought DDR5 for an intel CPU that doesn't support DDR5

[frosty prism]

oh alright can you check my build then?

[true stirrup]

Looks fine like it did yesterday

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[frosty prism]

no incompatabilities or weird things?

[true stirrup]

Nope

[frosty prism]

i dont want to start buying then find out that something is incompatabile

also most of the parts im buying have a warranty except the ram but i think thats fine as i can replace it

[true stirrup]

You sure the ram doesn't have warranty?

[frosty prism]

yeah its from amazon

warranty is way more extra and i dont feel like paying it honestly

[true stirrup]

Limited lifetime warranty
https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033067832-Warranty-Corsair-Limited-Warranty

So you do have warranty

[frosty prism]

This warranty applies to all Corsair products except Corsair PC gaming systems

does this mean pre builts or parts as well

[true stirrup]

All Corsair ram has limited lifetime warranty

[frosty prism]

what do they mean by limited

[tidal geyser]

if you mess around with it you do not have it anymore

as in if you take it apart

Wait till you find out about them doing this with their desktop skus as well

[calm idol]

not perfect but certainly better. they stopped that with the 10xx series iirc

[calm idol]

well that missing rops thing yes, but thats unintentional and doesnt cause that big of a performance difference

[latent gull]

Didn’t they have a 60 class card either in the 30 or 40 series that was just not a 60 class die? I might be remembering wrong but I seem to recall this was a thing

the funny thing is, they sent it there first

Ada 6000 (48G apparently)

[robust trail]

the second down is NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q

[elder quarry]

oh ok

weird naming scheme

[robust trail]

I think thats the name of the 300w card

We're still working out the naming kinks to standardize

so.. I call the big boy the 6000 Blackwell 600w

There's an MIT/GPL driver and a propritary - both work great 🙂

[elder quarry]

that was two messages

[strong sail]

u might be able to find an s24 ultra for a bit more tho

[oblique jay]

Yeah I can get it for £333 with the discount so price wise it's great. But as mentioned just a bit worried about the battery being drained and there's no real way to tell but I guess that's the risk of getting used

[robust trail]

https://portforward.com/

[oblique jay]

U think? When I looked they were all like 600+

[random gyro]

yes but would it be possible to run it on my vpns ip?

is the main question

[robust trail]

Unlikely

[random gyro]

is there any way to host my site anonymously?

[robust trail]

Your VPN has open and closed ports

[odd marsh]

Interesting to see that there is a version essentially using the same cooler as the GeForce lineup

[strong sail]

im not from the uk so i cant say much

[elder quarry]

https://playit.gg iirc

nvvm 1 sec

[robust trail]

We needed a new cooler for the big chunky card

So we borrowed the 5090's

[random gyro]

the site just needs to be 100% anonymous

[elder quarry]

why?

what are you hosting on there

[odd marsh]

That cooler is a work of art, crazy that it can cool 600w in a 2 slot form factor

[elder quarry]

anyways you wont be able to make a 100% anonymous site with port foorwarding

[robust trail]

Well, that's not exactly possible. There is no actual privacy on internet stuff. Traffic has to go somewhere and hosting something on your local machine is not going to provide any protection

[oblique jay]

like £170 more at least

[elder quarry]

are you willing to have your public ip out there (already not anonymous)

[rugged sand]

@elder quarry I had a question

[strong sail]

what does the desc of the 304 one say

[elder quarry]

yup

[robust trail]

you can try to host on TOR but that isn't private either, it will discourage most folks from fuckery

[elder quarry]

and it will probably be decently slower

[robust trail]

it will be way slower lol

[elder quarry]

and a bit insecure if you're dealing with private information

[robust trail]

if you need to host something with a 100% privacy you're asking for too much

[rugged sand]

So you know my plans for my pc build, I was wondering what's the best way to save money in the future as new parts come out. So starting now if I have the best gaming pc parts I could possibly have 5090 ect. Should I sell the 5090 for example and then buy a 6090 when it comes out? Should I wait 2 generations and buy the 7090 when it comes out?

[elder quarry]

you can always wait. Don't.

[robust trail]

Don't chase the dragon

[oblique jay]

touch screen doesnt work

[strong sail]

ah welp

[delicate zodiac]

any small tool for updating every driver?

[elder quarry]

I think all he want is a DynDNS or a domain to not need to "share his own ip"

[oblique jay]

No s pen and the back needs to be glued or something

[odd marsh]

Yeah MSI sucks /s

[elder quarry]

windows defender

[robust trail]

I have piles of hardware that most people would never touch and I still can't keep current

[rugged sand]

I know if I waited like 7 years, my pc would still be a beast. But wouldn't I barely make any money off any of the parts as they would be way cheaper than when they first came out?

[robust trail]

For fucks sake I have a 6000 Ada sitting in my closet on top of socks

[oblique jay]

Would u say it's worth to give the £330 s23 ultra a shot? I messaged the seller to ask about the battery to see if it's been worn down but it's just their word I suppose, but if it does have issues eBay has a 30 day protection so I could go to them and say they lied about the battery life

[elder quarry]

oh wow

[elder quarry]

#tech-chat-1 message

[oblique jay]

But its a really solid price, especially for 512gb

[robust trail]

but all of my platforms are out of date compared to what people are running

[clear canyon]

What parts? 99% of the time any pc parts after 7 years isnt a beast anymore

[elder quarry]

5090 x 9950x3d or something

[rugged sand]

Yeah basically this

[robust trail]

if you want to save money - don't buy the youtube thirst hardware

[clear canyon]

It has the best chance, let's hope they don't age like the 3090 lol

[elder quarry]

he have been on some crappy laptop for years... slightly too big upgrade

[robust trail]

buy in the middle, like 60 or 70 tier NVIDIA or AMD equivalent and not the best CPU on the market

[clear canyon]

2nd hand is the best dollar to peformance ratio normally 💪💪

[elder quarry]

eh? have you looked at ebay

[robust trail]

and not the most expensive overclocking motherboard... RAM? I'd spend money on RAM. That can go from computer to computer lol

for a while

[oblique jay]

To add to this too, the seller has 13 reviews all 5 star, selling phones and other shit but pixel 7 pro, iphone 11 and 11 pro max etc

[rugged sand]

So what's my best bet then? I know I'm already basically wasting money if I buy the RTX 5090. But in the future is there a specific time you think I should sell it and buy a newer GPU to minimize losses?

[clear canyon]

Dont limit yourself to ebay, look at fb marketplace and other local areas

[elder quarry]

I believe that 5090 at msrp has higher value than others

[clear canyon]

You can never future proof

[rugged sand]

I know, but for example if the 6090 is $3000 or something, and I sell my 5090 for $2300, I'd only be paying $700 for the 6090 because I get money back from the 5090.

[clear canyon]

@rugged sand get what is useful for you today, get a little stronger if you want it to be useful longer but you can never future proof

[robust trail]

The 5090 is not a waste of money if you are going to use it for work and play.. but by the time the next gen is out... and if you are this desperate to keep up to date - go with an 80 or whatever AMD is selling

[elder quarry]

well? it can't be long until ddr6 dimms comes out

[clear canyon]

Dont think like that, just get a pc that you would use for a long time rather then trying to max out

[robust trail]

I would give it another few years at least

[rugged sand]

According to everyone I speak to they tell me not to buy a 5090

[clear canyon]

Yeah, ddr5 isn't that old

[robust trail]

Because they only play video games

[elder quarry]

ddr5 got released 2020 and ddr4 like 2015? but yeah maybe 4 years?

[elder quarry]

ddr3 2007

[rugged sand]

Currently I'm not financially obligated, so I wanted to spoil myself with top of the line pc parts for a pc. Best of the best. But I'm considering what to do in the future.

[clear canyon]

The 5090 is a monster, but it's very pricy so I think it's not worth it if you ONLY game

[robust trail]

If you want to treat yourself... just buy whatever you want. Don'

Don't think about the future

[copper swallow]

Discord finally added dark mode. Only took a decade. 🔥

[rugged sand]

I mean true.

[tidal geyser]

i do have a question, where can i buy one

[tidal geyser]

is that canary

[copper swallow]

No it's standard Discord! They updated it!

[elder quarry]

well, that's akward

[grizzled frost]

amoled dark mode

[robust trail]

I have a shitload of hardware and after a while you get exhausted from trying to upgrade

[rugged sand]

I still want to consider it tho. That way I don't have to spend an additional tons of money to upgrade later.

[copper swallow]

Light mode user we meet yet again

Let's fight on this hill

[robust trail]

it seems cool in the beginning and then it gets old real quick

[clear canyon]

If you want your best bet at "future proofing", go amd as it has a good track record of supporting it's socket for a longer time than Intel, get the best gpu as it will be stronger then most next gen gpus, and get a large psu so you can just slot in any gpu. And go for as high ram capacity you can get that is only in 2 sticks, don't for 4 sticks

[elder quarry]

what hill, I live in sweden, and you live in

america yeh

[copper swallow]

I like in Denmark. We only have very small hills 😭

[rugged sand]

2 is better than 4?

[grizzled frost]

Correct

[elder quarry]

oh, not far away. Who's taking the train

[robust trail]

AMD IMCs are dogshit

[clear canyon]

Yes as ddr5 shits the bed with 4 sticks

[tidal geyser]

i do not see it

[robust trail]

If you want 4 sticks get up on that Intel

[rugged sand]

So in that case more ram is actually worse.

[elder quarry]

see what

[grizzled frost]

you can run 4 dimms on am5, it just will have lower max clocks

[clear canyon]

More ram sticks

[tidal geyser]

true dark mode

[copper swallow]

It could be that they're rolling out the update in certain areas/countries first. I often experience this where US is usually the first to get an update and then Europe plays catch-up.

[rugged sand]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

yeah true

[wanton walrus]

is it possible to fix a ram slot if it doesn't detect any ram

[rugged sand]

And then when would be the best time to upgrade to minimize losses?

[wanton walrus]

?

[clear canyon]

With ddr5 capacity, you can just go higher capacity and stick with 2 sticks and be completely fine

[grizzled frost]

generally speaking, no

[tidal geyser]

use slot 2 and 4

[copper swallow]

Depends. Do you live in "can kinda understand Sweden" (lower Sweden) or "intelligible gibberish Sweden (upper Sweden)"?

[cold skiff]

Dummy ram sticks might do the trick

[clear canyon]

No one can answer this

[grizzled frost]

That’s what i’d advise as well

[cold skiff]

The more you buy the more you save 😂

[elder quarry]

I live in Svealand, middle

[wanton walrus]

no there is ram in the slot

[clear canyon]

"Keep gambling"

[cold skiff]

Take the ram out

[tidal geyser]

if one side like 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 stop working then try to reseat the cpu if that does not work the IMC in the cpu is dead or the ram channel on the motherboard is dead

[copper swallow]

Ok we both take the train and meet in Malmö 🤝

[rugged sand]

I mean in theory. Like if you had to answer this question 2 years ago or something. Like following the curve of the gpus cpus etc.

[copper swallow]

Then we fight!!!

Nvidia told you to buy the 4090. They were right.

[elder quarry]

yeah sure. Nobody understands your speech by the way. Not even the Icelandc peeps that can speak danish

[grizzled frost]

we can’t see the future

[clear canyon]

If you want the bleeding edge of peformance, literally every new generation get the best. If not, just wait till your pc starts to not meet your standards

[tidal geyser]

i can :3

jk ofc

[clear canyon]

:3

[rugged sand]

Welp just gonna have to wait then and ask each generation.

[elder quarry]

AHHH I CAN'tT READ

[elder quarry]

DIASFABLE IT

[tidal geyser]

eye issue

[tidal geyser]

DIASFABLE

[clear canyon]

Uninstall your eye drivers

[cold skiff]

Dark mode is best. Use it on mobile and PC. Mobile has black which is great

[tidal geyser]

HAHHAH get warshipped

[grizzled frost]

purple better

[rugged sand]

Nah I don't need that. I'll just buy the best performance now, and it will probably at least last me 5 or 6 years minimum.

[elder quarry]

ok

[tidal geyser]

i do not have nitro

[grizzled frost]

womp womp

[clear canyon]

Then just do that lol

[latent gull]

True dark mode goated

[elder quarry]

That's a sin.

i am sim

[rugged sand]

That's a sim

A pretty good one too 👍

[clear canyon]

Im sim^2

[elder quarry]

I do this so I can withstand the flashbangs in CS2

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/arthur-morgan-gif-6405671923753155182

[clear canyon]

Just delete the flash bang file so when they throw it, nothing happens

[elder quarry]

[latent gull]

This makes me think of spawn die spawn die

[cold skiff]

9800x3d / 5090 / 96gb ram / 4tb sn990… should set him back about 5 grand with a custom Waterloop too

[clear canyon]

If you want the best overall, 9950x3d

[rugged sand]

The first thing anyone who buys a pc should do after there pc is completely finished and booted into windows, is turn the pc default color to black.

[cold skiff]

Ohh yeah forgot that came out

[clear canyon]

Same gaming peformance but more cores to do whatever

[tidal geyser]

if they do it from me not even that

[clear canyon]

As long as you set the cores correctly

[robust trail]

Or an ally x. That does pretty good work too. lol

[elder quarry]

me no hav windoes

[worldly mason]

Y'all got a question is a 550w alright for a 3070 since that's what's currently available as of now need a stop gap higher wattage PSU will come in a month due to custom's

[cold skiff]

We should also recommend he gets someone to delid his cpu too for max performance. Go all out

[tidal geyser]

yes

[rugged sand]

I'd probably get more storage than that bc why not. And then I would go for an aio 5090 bc I don't wanna water block a 5090.

[clear canyon]

Doesn't that have the new amd ai chip?

[latent gull]

Ally x is pretty good but I’m hoping legion go 2 is better

[robust trail]

nah its just more and faster RAMs than the ally

[elder quarry]

this copper IHS too

[cold skiff]

More than 4tb? The insanity for a gaming pc. Cool. 2x 4gb then 😂

[rugged sand]

😂

I mean recording in 4k also takes up a lot of storage

[clear canyon]

I have over 10tb

[elder quarry]

4 tb ram+

[robust trail]

as long as I can hold a steady 45 FPS on elite dangerous... thats all I want.

A potato can hold 45 fps in elite dangerous lol

[latent gull]

Need me a handheld to run the switch 2 games

[copper swallow]

What is the point of Switch 2 btw?

The games look exactly like Switch 1 games

[rugged sand]

Coming from someone which can barely get 60 fps on io games. A no compromise gaming pc is going to be like I time traveled.

[latent gull]

Because the switch 1 couldn’t even run switch 1 games well

[elder quarry]

have you seen zelda?

[cold skiff]

Well if you wanna 5090 you might compromise your entire build and even burn your house down

[copper swallow]

No I haven't. Has it received a significant upgrade?

[tidal geyser]

but the hardware is from like eh 2021 or smn but its for it to have tensor cores and so on making it a massive upgrade in fps

[copper swallow]

Lmao real

[robust trail]

The handhelds are great... I carry a macbook pro for light and thin work/gamings and a handheld for actual gamings

[elder quarry]

30 to < fps

[tidal geyser]

a screenshot might loog good but gaming on it should be a lot better

[clear canyon]

Just be aware, getting a 5090 will heat up your room like crazy so you better have room cooling lol

[copper swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/arnold-angry-gif-14826056892418519953

[robust trail]

keeps my brain from going bonkers while traveling

[latent gull]

Want to get a switch 2 so I can jailbreak the switch 1

[elder quarry]

huh

[robust trail]

dryer vent and an inline fan

[cold skiff]

Remember. The more you buy the more you save.

[rugged sand]

Yeah I could get that, but an aio 5090 and custom water loop. It's already going to be pretty cool.

[latent gull]

I wanna download my switch games so I can run them on a handheld

[clear canyon]

Whole room water cooling

[elder quarry]

- Jensen Huang

[cold skiff]

You can’t not waterloop a 5090 if you do the CPU

You’d regret it

[clear canyon]

That's gonna heat your room even more

[robust trail]

You can loop a 5090 and CPU together...

[clear canyon]

Why?

[rugged sand]

That's why I'm not, i'm getting an aio gpu

[tidal geyser]

no

[cold skiff]

You’d look at your sad little 5090 with its crappy radiator and go aghhh… I wish I it looked as good

[clear canyon]

You're about to spend like 5k on the gpu lmao

[elder quarry]

and you choose something that will break tomoroorow

[tidal geyser]

where you cant really even replace the cooler

[robust trail]

just run the damn 5090 with the included cooler. The FE cooler can handle some extreme wattage

[cold skiff]

If you’re gonna go big, you go big. You go all in or not at all.

[elder quarry]

pirate language

[robust trail]

if you... get an FE

[clear canyon]

Yeah bc weird board

[latent gull]

He hasn’t shut up the past few weeks about NEEDING to spend 10k on the pc

[robust trail]

good board. It does good things.

[cold skiff]

It will also scream at you like a banshee. Has the worst coil whine

[elder quarry]

now switch the damn power connector

[rugged sand]

I was literally about to say I couldn't find it for less than 5k. I don't wanna spend 5k on a gpu tho 😬

[robust trail]

never

[clear canyon]

Yeah 100% but it's weird so its hard to make others stuff for it

[cold skiff]

You said you want the best. The best is a 5k GPU

[elder quarry]

12hpwr for life 🔥

[rugged sand]

We'll cross that bridge when we get there...

[cold skiff]

And death

[tidal geyser]

ooo i wonder have you guys had any failed connectors

[clear canyon]

You chose 50 series, let alone the most expensive ones. So you are asking to spend that much

[rugged sand]

I guess that's true. 5k is redonkulus tho.

[elder quarry]

4090 is still an option btw

[copper swallow]

5k? 5000€?

[clear canyon]

Go 4090 then, its still a monster

[elder quarry]

USD

[clear canyon]

5000 hand shakes

[cold skiff]

4090 isn’t a 5090 though

[clear canyon]

🤯

[rugged sand]

Yeah I've considered that, the 5090 is still way better tho.

[copper swallow]

Doesn't make it better stll fucked price 😭

[cold skiff]

He wants MFG so his 30fps 4K black myth wu kong shows as 120

[clear canyon]

Not really

[robust trail]

I have not and I have pushed more power than a 5090 can take

[copper swallow]

It's not worth the price

The perfomance increase is sadly marginal

[robust trail]

I'm sure the lab has had failures... personally? No

[tidal geyser]

that is kinda surprising

[cold skiff]

It’s only marginal if you own a 4090

[tidal geyser]

this is not

[elder quarry]

but still... what a design flaw

[robust trail]

The 6000 Blackwell is a 600w card

[cold skiff]

If you don’t own a 4090 then you’re getting great gains going to 5090

[rugged sand]

The price isn't really a problem atm. I'm willing to spend 2-3k. But when it gets to 4-5k that seems too much.

[copper swallow]

Yeah but why not just save money and get a 4090 though? It's not like it's outdated
