[golden sage]

I have a zotac 3080 atm, what do u think of zotac cards?

[sinful cobalt]

meh

[teal sinew]

no

[sinful cobalt]

heard 30 series zotac had problems
40 series didnt hear anything of note

[golden sage]

ahh i see

[teal sinew]

3080 12GB or 3080Ti would be the best under $500 usually

5060Ti launches in a couple days though and will be less than $500 as well hopefully

you could try to get a $430 5060Ti 16GB on launch day

[tidal geyser]

Doesn't the 6950 xt beat the 3080 ti?

[teal sinew]

no

roughly equal in raster only games, but the 3080Ti has DLSS and leads in forced RT games

FSR3 and software XESS is terrible

[sinful cobalt]

nope they are literally equal in terms of horsepower

[clever drift]

Is it possible my pc (when off) is making a squeeking sound? Or am I probably just tripping?

[tidal geyser]

So the 3080 ti is only better in a very small handful of games?

And that is with dlss on

[teal sinew]

no

DLSS is in the majority of recent demanding games

which gives the 3080Ti a massive advantage

[sinful cobalt]

its between software and 4gb vram

[teal sinew]

DLSS quality looks as good or better than native res FSR3

which gives the 3080Ti a huge performance advantage

[tidal geyser]

But that is only with the latest games

Ans you would also need to turn on dlss, most people still prefer native

[teal sinew]

the majority of well known games from the last 6 years support DLSS

[sinful cobalt]

native looks best unless the game is slop like mh wilds in the first place

[teal sinew]

if you only play 2008-2016 games then sure the 6950XT will be comparable

[sinful cobalt]

no amount of upscaling is saving the shit image qualityt

[abstract wigeon]

yeah finals runs (and looks) like shit without upscaling in my experience

[teal sinew]

but the “native looks best” argument falls flat when TAA and FSR3 both look terrible

[abstract wigeon]

with dlss quality i get ~90 frames, native i get ~40

[teal sinew]

i went from a 6900XT to a 5070Ti and i’ll take dlss quality over native res vanilla TAA or FSR every time

[abstract wigeon]

game devs expect you to play with upscaling now so native res/taa are an afterthough i guess

stalker 2 for example

[teal sinew]

if you’re playing old games that don’t assume you’ll use TAA then sure i like native res without antialiasing as well

[abstract wigeon]

and squad in my expeirnce all look bad native

[sinful cobalt]

aka all games that are pure slop

[abstract wigeon]

nah older games from before the ai boom look great with no upscaling or anialiasing

half life era

[sinful cobalt]

which is what i said

[abstract wigeon]

up until witcher 3 even

[teal sinew]

2004 game :p

[abstract wigeon]

half life is NOT pure slop

[sinful cobalt]

nfs 2015 looks fucking amazing

[sinful cobalt]

my guy did u read what i said up there????

[teal sinew]

but yeah if you only play 1975-2016 games then sure the 6950XT will work well

[abstract wigeon]

thought you were replying to michael myb 😔

[teal sinew]

if you have any at all interest in playing games from the last 8 years then you’ll want to have the option of DLSS

especially since the cards perform the same ignoring DLSS and RT anyway

so it’s not like you’re compromising to get those features

[abstract wigeon]

squad UE5 playtest went live couple days ago, less than half the frames on UE4 but atleast the sunlight is orange now wowee

[sinful cobalt]

yea let dlss optimise the game for u

run the game on a 5090 natively 4 fps

[abstract wigeon]

bring back SLI but you have one card that is just pure performance and the other does all the AI magic

[sinful cobalt]

we have modern SLI at home: Lossless scaling
1 to render the other to upscale

[abstract wigeon]

didnt like lossless scaling

artifacts were too iffy

i havnt really liked any frame gens ive tried tbh, ill manage with upscaling but frame gen on top makes everything too blurry

maybe its a skill issue and my pc isnt good enough

[teal sinew]

i’m guessing that most people who absolutely despise upscaling are using 1080p displays and have cards that aren’t capable of using machine learning upscaling

DLSS and FSR4 quality modes are magic

[abstract wigeon]

when i was playing at 1080 upscaling was ugly, now im at 1440p its not bad at all

[calm idol]

shouldnt that be the target user base?

[teal sinew]

no not necessarily

[abstract wigeon]

i play cyberpunk with dlss quality and get ~55 frames its pretty good

no upscaling im on ~20/30

[teal sinew]

for me it’s hard to tell the difference between native 2160p and 1440p->2160p in games that have good implementations of recent dlss versions

and that boosts my framerate by a lot

takes me from like 75 to 115 in gta 5 enhanced

[abstract wigeon]

it feels like it should be, dlss should be aimed at lower end cards, and people with lower end cards would typically be playing at lower resolutions

[teal sinew]

i don’t think there’s a specific economy class that DLSS is made for, it’s a cool tool for everyone

nearly visually lossless performance gains at high resolutions and it helps people with old hardware play newer games

[abstract wigeon]

5090 users shouldnt need dlss to have a playable experience imo

[sinful cobalt]

the fucking image says 3090ti and the guy listed it as a 2080ti

[teal sinew]

and they don’t

[sinful cobalt]

and it has the design of a 3090

[teal sinew]

but like i said it’s very hard to distinguish 1440p -> 2160p and native 2160p when it’s implemented well

so even on a 5090 it’s a win more button

helps you fill out your 4k240hz display

[abstract wigeon]

yeah the higher the res the better upscaling looks

massive difference from 1080p to 1440p, havnt tried 4k myself

[mellow cairn]

https://youtu.be/zusfJdVM_m8?si=EqQkbGIgG8WJzWkJ

[arctic tapir]

Basically got these for £8 today lol

[mellow cairn]

I just bought one of those for $203aud

[olive salmon]

I just realized ive been running my ram at 2133 instead of the xmp profile since i updated my bios 2 years ago 😭

I have 32gb ddr4 3600 dims lol

[mellow cairn]

To be used with my gamesir g8 controller, and play games streamed from my server, which I got more ram for

[white sphinx]

Dumb question: does current flow through wire or the magnetic field around the wire, or is the magnetic field a byproduct

[mellow cairn]

So I will run a windows virtual machine

[mellow cairn]

That isn't a dumb question at all

The answer is yes.

[white sphinx]

I thought it was only through the wire until i started looking at inductors, which are essentially just coils of wire and they somehow store energy in the field?

Im in over my head lol

[mellow cairn]

https://youtu.be/Lp_b8gQpxW8?si=jzgk3x4Z9DxZ1dQ2

[mellow cairn]

Like anything, the closer you look at it, the more confusing it gets

[white sphinx]

Thanks ill watch the vid

[mellow cairn]

The problem is that physicists love a spherical cow in a vacuum

[white sphinx]

Yeah lol, its hard to wrap my head around, especially «the speed of motion»

[sinful cobalt]

mf someone legit just got a 3090 for 380 sgd

IM A DAY TOO LATE

[gleaming rose]

i want an ibm model m

[acoustic quiver]

should my cpu cooler be intake or exhaust

[gleaming rose]

wtf

well see the cold air comes in (usually) from the front of the case, so if you want your cpu to be cooled by cool air, guess

[acoustic quiver]

just answer the question dude😭

[gleaming rose]

i fucking did

[acoustic quiver]

bro said “guess”

[white sphinx]

It depends

[gleaming rose]

i gave you ample information to guess and get it right pretty much 100% of the time

i would be very disappointed and upset if you were to get this wrong

[acoustic quiver]

just a simple question u dont gotta make it a big deal

[gleaming rose]

and a simple answer

[acoustic quiver]

exactly

[white sphinx]

Where are your intake fans for your case?

[acoustic quiver]

front

[gleaming rose]

so why are you pissing at me for it when i've literally given you information that a monkey could use to deduce the fan orientation

[white sphinx]

You wanna pass that cool air along so pull config towards the intake on the case

I reccomend drawing a simple fan diagram with directions, and keep in mind you want positive pressure inside the case

[acoustic quiver]

ok so intake is fine, just double checking. Thank you

[distant frigate]

Fire

[compact oriole]

1tb , 16gb ram for £50 is it worth me buying and reselling cause its cheap but is it worth anything

[tidal geyser]

What do you mean selling

[tidal geyser]

It's not even worth the amount you are buying it for

[compact oriole]

Fair

Is this good?

[tidal geyser]

Scam

[tidal geyser]

Did you even click the listing and read what it says

[deep ermine]

If it's Birmingham then it's stolen

[compact oriole]

It doesn't say anything else

[compact oriole]

Swansea

[deep ermine]

Even worse

[compact oriole]

Real

[tidal geyser]

The cooling pad is worth 80

[deep ermine]

What does the description say?

[compact oriole]

I don't think it has anything I'll check now

[gleaming rose]

making a vintage radio for the ship

[compact oriole]

It doesn't say anything

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/low-quality-dancing-pirate-scapularboss-gif-1072159963339044487

[deep ermine]

If they ask for bank transfer prior to pickup, even if it's a deposit, then it's a scam

It's worth a message, but be cautious

[compact oriole]

Yeah ik I'll only buy it it's in person

[jaunty apex]

Me when I buy a new .flac album

[deep ermine]

The only red flag I can see is that the pictures are all different

It's like they just ripped pictures from eBay

[tidal geyser]

It's a scam anyways

[compact oriole]

Yeah the keyboard is diffrent in pictures

[tidal geyser]

OMG it's a scam

[deep ermine]

Chill fella

[ebon marlin]

Any monitor nerds here? Why is it that enabling gamemode on this monitor causes the backlights on the right side to die?

[jovial swan]

(since theres no phone chat)

What Android of these Androids has the best camera, and screen, as im maybe looking to get myself a better phone, right now i have a OnePlus 12R 16/256, which has a camera that struggles at Astrophotography, especially the deeper DSOs,

My picks, dunno what one is most "it"

OnePlus 13 12/256
Google Pixel 9 pro XL 16/256
Xiaomi 15
Xiaomi 14 Ultra 16/512
S24 Ultra 12/256

Mind u these are all on sale local to me,

[ebon marlin]

Oneplus 13

[sinful cobalt]

i smell a s k e m

[ebon marlin]

Actually nvm i just read astrophotography not sure then

[sinful cobalt]

the monitor not happy

[ebon marlin]

Most likely the Pixel 9

[mellow cairn]

... It should not do that

[jaunty apex]

Pixel 9 I've seen be pretty good in the tests I've seen vs Samsung and I think oneplus as well

[ebon marlin]

Xiaomi is also good for that

[frail topaz]

Pixel

If u want zoom go for the xiaomi 14u

all rounder would be pixel

[gleaming rose]

HAI CATTO

[ebon marlin]

This is the 14 Ultra that I found from some random person online

[ebon marlin]

Hi echo

[jaunty apex]

Base pixel 9 looks great but this is also my first modern flagship

[frail topaz]

14u is such a nice phone but its so uncomfortable to hold

[gleaming rose]

that has gotta be fake - no phone sensor can do that

[frail topaz]

fine ass phone

[ebon marlin]

Xiaomi is pretty good for astrophotography they even made an ad dedicated to astrophotography

[frail topaz]

pickcell

[gleaming rose]

once i'm done with my tmo contract im switching to usmobile and i am gonna own my next phone (hopefully a nothing)

nothing flagship would be such a good phone ngl

[ebon marlin]

I have a Oneplus 12R but I wanna switch to another phone just for fun but the thing is every switch would be a downgrade if I wanted to switch to a phone that's similar to mine

[frail topaz]

nothing needs to stop making midrangers

[ebon marlin]

Fr

[frail topaz]

give us a phone 3 already

sd8g3/sd8e would be fire

[gleaming rose]

no i want an all flagship nothing phone

[ebon marlin]

Nothing needs to start making phones which house newer chipsets and not chipsets that are multiple years old

[gleaming rose]

flagship cams, screen, chip, everything

[frail topaz]

the np2 waas made with such an old chip to give the team time to optimize it

[frail topaz]

screens are already pretty good on nothings

[jaunty apex]

Nothing phone I just want latest chipset and unlocked bootloader. Idk their policies on that

[gleaming rose]

their policies are a lot like google's but they dont publish device trees

[jaunty apex]

If they had that at a good price I'd probably have gotten that over the pixel but

[gleaming rose]

at least not for most of their devices

i think the 1st gen nothing phones may have public devtrees

[jaunty apex]

Guessing that's necessary for building Roms and such?

[gleaming rose]

yea

people can make them themselves but it takes work

[jaunty apex]

So I've heard, and 32 gigs of ram

[gleaming rose]

android can build with about 16gb of ram iirc

[distant frigate]

N261! So annoying I can’t get mmWave with this plan lol

[jaunty apex]

Ah. Read in XDA it was more, then again my memory is ass.

Rip verizon

Also nice phone number

[upper wave]

I think it is time for a new laptop
my macbook is officially on it's last life

[distant frigate]

These are the speeds I can only get lol

[jaunty apex]

You don't say lmfao

[distant frigate]

159 Mbps is slow compared to like 3,000+ mbps that mmWave can do

[jaunty apex]

That's fucking insane.

[jovial swan]

I live in a bortle 4 zone, that image is taken in a bortle 2 afaik. But yeah i get it.

[jovial swan]

My phone can this. And its a mid ranger

[ebon marlin]

The Oneplus 12R? I have the same phone

[jovial swan]

Bro same phone here man

[distant frigate]

Verizon mmWave.

4,444 Mbps lmao

[teal sinew]

if i could get mmwave home internet at my house then id probably take it over my current coax broadband connection

because 45Mbps upload is agony

[jovial swan]

Jesus, i have sub6 and it is not very good.

[ebon marlin]

I've been thinking about getting a new phone which might have better battery but every other phone's battery is under 5000mAh

[jaunty apex]

Damn even my router isn't pushing 500 like 5G is lmfao. Now my upload is 400mbps at least

[ebon marlin]

I don't really care about how powerful my phone is since I only use it for social media but still want a powerful chip for camera

[teal sinew]

i dont really watch android phone news but the pixel 9a seems decent for what it is

$499 120Hz oled phone thatll have good ROM support

[distant frigate]

Verizon mmWave can do like 600 Mbps upload. They did more configuration

It used to be 100-200 Mbps

[jovial swan]

This is what 5G is like in the 8th largest city in denmark

[jaunty apex]

Long as you ignore $400 pixel 9s

[jovial swan]

Are regular pixel 9s that bad?

[jaunty apex]

? No I like mine so far.

Pixel 9 seems the most stable pixel since like the 5 I think

[jovial swan]

My grandmother had a pixel 7A as a temporary replacement for 2 weeks while her S20 FE got repaired

[teal sinew]

im gonna be replacing my iphone 13 pro max later this year because its battery health isnt great and i have display burn in

[jovial swan]

She did not like it very much,

[teal sinew]

i get like 7 hours of screentime daily, much of which is outside so i age phones quickly

[gleaming rose]

that is fake though - samsung does the same shit

[jovial swan]

No. It isnt. I legit used a dobsonian.

[gleaming rose]

you literally need a telescope for that level of detail

[jovial swan]

I had my phone lens put up to a dobsonian 840 MM

[gleaming rose]

then it wasn't the phone

[jovial swan]

Well it was. Technically.

[jaunty apex]

I have so much more battery tho lmao my last phone basically was missing a lung

[jovial swan]

I have captured other things aswell that was purely the phone. Lemme find it

[gleaming rose]

i dont even use my phone for photography anymore

[gleaming rose]

i use my film camera since i can develop and scan at home now

[jovial swan]

Praesepe, Mars, Pollux, Castor. And some other things

[gleaming rose]

trying to design a radio for the damn ship still lmao

[teal sinew]

this is my fav star pic that i’ve taken with my iphone

i was surprised that i could see that many in a city

[cursive storm]

if i overwrite my windows with fedora, will it affect my other fedora OS? im trying to do like a swap over with the ssds if that makes sense, need fedora on my main ssd bc the one fedora is currently on the smart status keeps saying its bad so i want it on my main ssd and so its easier to transfer everything over

[graceful meadow]

So i noticed that my pc freezes like one or twice a day. Happend mostly while playing fortnite. Now it froze when downloading a game. Could it be a faulty ssd?

[teal sinew]

even more in this one

[terse canopy]

Traditionally, I unplug all ssd/hdd’s except the one I’m installing on. When done, I plug in the other drives and copy stuff over.

[jovial swan]

I see pleiades, u European?

[cursive storm]

how do u just unplug them, like remove them from the pc tower?

[teal sinew]

no sir i live in new york state

[jovial swan]

Orion,

[jovial swan]

Oh,

[teal sinew]

these were just with my bare iphone and no accessories

[terse canopy]

That’ll work. If SATA, you can just unplug the SATA cable and leave everything else.

[jovial swan]

Discord kills the quality (i dont have premium)

[frail delta]

I hate this
Why are the top corners rounded but not the bottom

[jovial swan]

Moon is such a annoying bastard when taking high ISO picture

[cursive storm]

but if i dont, will anything be affected in any way?

[terse canopy]

You star watchers might be interested in allsky cameras.

[jovial swan]

Star watchers?,

[wheat torrent]

I am tempted to buy this but idk if I really need it

[jovial swan]

Stargazers xd

[terse canopy]

I can’t guarantee it. Linux is a bit better about where it puts the boot loader and all that (Windows will place it on random drives)

[gleaming rose]

windows tends to just yoink the linux bootloader

[wheat torrent]

I was looking into POE adapters and whatnot and in my country they are quite expensive, 1/3 of the price of this whole switch

[jovial swan]

I have this old thing which i have no idea wtf is

[wheat torrent]

thought maybe I should just buy a whole switch but idk

[distant frigate]

Ok yeah I’m noticing the poor penetration of mmWave 5G. It could penetrate through glass but idk about building material.

[jovial swan]

Dont even know how much i can sell it for

[cursive storm]

but the thing is im trying to overwrite windows with fedora

[frail delta]

PoE injectors are stupid in 90% of circumstances

[wheat torrent]

this is what I was thinking of

[gleaming rose]

just install it on the same drive and it will automatically replace windows

[terse canopy]

Looks like a NIC?

[frail delta]

Just buy an AP with PoE

[cursive storm]

but it wont affect anything on my current fedora right?

[wheat torrent]

what next, how do I even provide PoE to the router

[gleaming rose]

wait what? are you dual booting windows and fedora on the same drive?

[cursive storm]

no

[frail delta]

What do you mean when you say router

[distant frigate]

This is what I saw when walking by and I knew it was mmWave

[gleaming rose]

what are you trying to do

[wheat torrent]

like how do I power the cable

[frail delta]

With a PoE injector or PoE switch

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[terse canopy]

2 drives.
Drive A is Windows
Drive B is Fedora
Drive B may be failing.
Wants to install Fedora on Drive A and move stuff from B to A

[cursive storm]

ill see if i can explain this better, so i already have an existing fedora on one of my ssds but the smart status keeps saying its bad so i want to do a swap, putting fedora on my main ssd, transfering everything over then reinstalling windows on the bad ssd

[wheat torrent]

ah fair enough yeah, but my point is that I could buy a 16 port gigabit switch for not that much more

[tidal geyser]

A lot of PoE APs come with a PoE injector

[wheat torrent]

so idk what I should do

[gleaming rose]

ok so you dont care about the windows drive
do you know the paths of the drives (/dev/sdx)

[frail delta]

That is what I said...

[gleaming rose]

@cursive storm go to #linux ill help u out

[wheat torrent]

my bad

[frail delta]

#tech-chat-1 message

[cursive storm]

oki doki

[frail delta]

No, they don't?

[wheat torrent]

at the moment I only have my router, one access point that I need to use PoE to, my current computer, and a simple server

[tidal geyser]

Dam 😦

[frail delta]

I have never seen an AP that came with an injector in the box

[wheat torrent]

so I am not sure if I really need a 16 port POE switch, but maybe I will in the future?

[tidal geyser]

My bag full of em says otherwise.

[frail delta]

Other than UISP stuff

[tidal geyser]

I think it was from ubiquiti

At least a while ago

[jovial swan]

No clue what it is

[frail delta]

Probably passive PoE too, knowing UBNT

Fuck them

[wheat torrent]

I guess a switch would come useful if I want to set up security cameras in future or more cloud storage

[thorn pewter]

[tidal geyser]

It has a c5 plug in the back

[wheat torrent]

that specific PoE switch can do 30W on each port

is that average or low

[distant frigate]

God these homes are so lucky lmao. mmWave node right next to them. Probably enjoying 5G home internet with that

[tidal geyser]

So PoE+

[wheat torrent]

high performance Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE (Up to 15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at HighPower PoE (Up to 30.8W) capabilities on all ports.

[tidal geyser]

And then it starts to rain

[wheat torrent]

this is exactly my problem

[thorn pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-thunder-thunderstorm-rain-gif-17280107989189056801

[tidal geyser]

I'm going to have to go out in the rain now

[wheat torrent]

do any of yall have a switch and what do you use it for

[tidal geyser]

To turn on my lights

[wheat torrent]

how

[tidal geyser]

By flipping the switch?

[wheat torrent]

good one

[tidal geyser]

:3

[wheat torrent]

is there some kind of trickery I should look into when buying a network switch

like idk some port limitations or whatever that might fuck me over

[distant frigate]

Rain shouldn’t impede mmWave too much. Although it could reduce its performance. If the gateway is placed close enough it might not be a problem

I would rather have mmWave than 300 Mbps fiber. Could be a hot take though

[terse canopy]

Just buy a “dumb” switch?

[frail delta]

Keep in mind this is a maximum per port, it wouldn’t be able to do 100% load on all ports, but that isn’t really a factor for you since you’re only powering one or two devices

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-cat-in-front-of-sea-gif-16930437336998530733

[frail delta]

They are looking at an unmanaged switch

[terse canopy]

If you want PoE, You’ll want to know what your devices support

[wheat torrent]

Yep

[jolly forge]

I might be cooked because I unplugged and did cable management and reseated my ram and now I'm getting no display and my mouse isn't working but my keyboard is working

[frail delta]

They do not have any devices or any plan :p

[wheat torrent]

right now my access point doesn't have PoE, but I plan to just use a PoE splitter for the time being

it should be fine right

[frail delta]

You do you

[wheat torrent]

I mean it should just split the data channels from the electricty it doesn't sound too complicated to do

what is this negociating about between PoE devices

I plan to power an access point would this be essential

[frail delta]

They are talking about passive PoE

[low sage]

opinions guys?

[frail topaz]

pretty fine, AIO or air?

[low sage]

aio

when I play games it sits at like 55, really nice

[frail topaz]

ouch, what size?

[low sage]

240mm

[wheat torrent]

hmm I see this might be a issue, since my router is 11–14 V DC, 1.5 A; while those PoE splitters are 24V or 48V

[low sage]

thermal throttle limit for this CPU is 95 C

[wheat torrent]

so it would definetly not work

[frail topaz]

yeah thats fine then

[low sage]

wicked fast cpu, love it.

ahaha and bam it just dropped

[elfin kindle]

[elfin kindle]

Gulp

[tidal geyser]

Yeah he was so close to doing it

[low sage]

yes @elfin kindle it will

[elfin kindle]

Thank

[low sage]

No, we give the energy we get.

[frail delta]

I'm not sure if "boof" is really the best username lol

[low sage]

Hey will a studioblox i5 gen 6th run a toplap and cpu at the time same?

[low sage]

Yes it is.

I am an avid giver of boof.

[frail delta]

Just going to ignore the meaning?

[low sage]

i know the meaning

[sinful cobalt]

Hey will a laptop with an i5 6th gen cpu and 8gb of ram run roblox studio and youtube, while cooking a steak at the same time?

[frail delta]

Rectal administration of drugs?

[low sage]

Yup.

[sinful cobalt]

im still waiting for my 9070xt

maybe it’ll come on tuesday

[wheat torrent]

Hey will a laptop with an i5 6th gen cpu and 8gb of ram run roblox studio? And youtube at the same time?

[low sage]

FINE top lime ill change it just fgor you.

[true stirrup]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

afaik I was 1 day too late on getting a 3090 for $380

[frail delta]

Wow open office really is crap

[wheat torrent]

thats a lot of days to be late when buying something

[elfin kindle]

Hey will a intel pentium cpu run blender rendering and youtube at the same time?

[true stirrup]

No GPU?

[sinful cobalt]

I literally found the listing 2 houra after the 3090 was sold

[tidal geyser]

That I do really hope is a joke

[low sage]

There is that better?

[wheat torrent]

should of taken down the listing

[elfin kindle]

I bought it for $300

[tidal geyser]

No

[elfin kindle]

💔

[low sage]

i got a 7900xt for 600$ guys is this a good deal?

[tidal geyser]

No

[sinful cobalt]

its listed as a 2080ti but he has 2, one which was a 3090 and the other is an actual 2080ti from pny

[low sage]

shut up chud

[tidal geyser]

No dlss so not worth more then 300

[low sage]

this guyyy

[tidal geyser]

Is what I imagine Micheal would say

[low sage]

LOL

[sinful cobalt]

I prepared the 3x8pins for the 9070XT, cant wait

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-do-not-dont-please-meme-gif-21449752

[low sage]

idk man, 7900xt has GREAT performance.

[tidal geyser]

I know I have a 7900 xtx

[mellow cairn]

I am downgrading from 48" 4k@120 to 8.4 1920x1200

[low sage]

the 600$ i got it for was def worth it lmfao

[tidal geyser]

Even trying out fsr and frame gen

[elfin kindle]

[tidal geyser]

Yup

[low sage]

I got 3 front intakes and my AIO is 2 exhaust, what yall think about this?

[tidal geyser]

Wooow

And i suspect a 65w cpu

[mellow cairn]

Ok? Do you want a medal?

[tidal geyser]

Yes please

[low sage]

9 hiragana letters to go

[mellow cairn]

... It all depends on your particular case and etc. it really matters less than most people think

[sinful cobalt]

do you want an award

[elfin kindle]

[mellow cairn]

I have 6 intake fans on two 360 rads and three exhaust fans

Many people cannot fathom such a setup

[low sage]

I cannot fathom it.

[mellow cairn]

Because physics is hard.

[low sage]

2 360 rads? is ur gpu liquid cooled too?

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[low sage]

that is bad ass.

Whats the temp difference between just traditional air cooled?

[mellow cairn]

I don't really know or care 🙂

[frail delta]

Probably not much, but with more rainbow vomit

[low sage]

😂

[sinful cobalt]

I have AIO on CPU and air GPU, I might revert back to monke and do air+pure performance black for my next build.

[mellow cairn]

It's both better looking and quieter than standard

[low sage]

Right

does anyone still like actually water cool their PCs? with like hard tubing and shit?

[mellow cairn]

No

[low sage]

Lmfao

[sinful cobalt]

the rich and bored af? yes

[gleaming rose]

having a scsi card is the funniest shit ever

im glad scsi is no longer a thing but the scanner works well so i cant complain

[low sage]

do people still use expansion cards

like network expansion and audio ones??

[sinful cobalt]

modern day no

[tidal geyser]

Xd

Yes ans yes

[low sage]

my cyber sec teacher does

[tidal geyser]

First one YES

[gleaming rose]

i do

[brave brook]

2.5, 10 gigabit cards; HDMI capture cards; 8 or 16 port HBAs, yes

[low sage]

hes a cornball, his PC he works on in class has an uptime of 95 days

[sinful cobalt]

Any current gen mobo has most of the stuff anyway

[gleaming rose]

i have a usb card

[bronze jay]

💀 ✨

[low sage]

what yall think of the Tuf b650-e mobo?

[gleaming rose]

which i dont even really use

[frail delta]

Microsoft needs to copy this feature ASAP

[sinful cobalt]

any expansion is prob cuz either not enough or simply the shit is old

[sinful cobalt]

asus bad

Its ur typicaly b650 mobo with the e labelled on, nothing special

[bronze jay]

I'm on Linux which means I'll probably get a glitchy version in 10 years

[mellow cairn]

No

[gleaming rose]

that was a screenshot from linux

[frail delta]

This is in Ubuntu, I'm saying that Microsoft needs to add it to

[bronze jay]

Nice

[tidal geyser]

How long is that dac cable

[low sage]

arent the strix motherboards killing 9800x3d cpus

[bronze jay]

That makes me happy

[tidal geyser]

No

[bronze jay]

I was just making a software joke. Linux has a habit of pissing me off

[gleaming rose]

lmfao

[mellow cairn]

It is a SAS cable, and it's 1m

[gleaming rose]

yeah because you have a massive skill issue

[elder quarry]

I have the razer green

[bronze jay]

Correct

But I'm getting better

[elder quarry]

dats good

[sinful cobalt]

i need it

[tidal geyser]

O well that is not as fun

[sinful cobalt]

now

[elder quarry]

meow

[mellow cairn]

The network card is 10g though

[bronze jay]

I like that dvi connector

[tidal geyser]

Well that is fun, I would have imagined you for a 25Gb kinda fella

[bronze jay]

So much surface area, so it's robust

[mellow cairn]

I am about to add another card to that system

[mellow cairn]

I am all about cost efficiency.

[bronze jay]

And clearly it still holds up if you're still using it

[tidal geyser]

I am doing well enough on 1Gb

[sinful cobalt]

[mellow cairn]

[gleaming rose]

"small" my ass

[mellow cairn]

Small computers, not small connections

[gleaming rose]

ah

[bronze jay]

@gleaming rose I understand that I have a skill issue, but my idea of an good operating system is one that you don't need skill to use

Microsoft Copilot has been holding my hand through it for a month

[robust trail]

So... MacOS?

[bronze jay]

I get the point

[gleaming rose]

you dont need skill to use linux which makes your situation baffling

[bronze jay]

Maybe I'm wrong

[frail delta]

ChromeOS

[bronze jay]

I stopped running into video issues and now my problem is that I'm trying to get certain software to work

[robust trail]

This is true. Linux is point and click these days, despite what the youtube hivemind will have you believe

[tidal geyser]

Hello marky

[tidal geyser]

Up to distro

[bronze jay]

I think I'm being unfair. I'm trying to get windows programs to work with compatibility layers

[robust trail]

Yes, thats true.

[frail delta]

If only there was Excel for Linux

[robust trail]

No excel only opencellnerd

[frail delta]

And Power Automate

[bronze jay]

It's true that Linux is pretty point and click

[tidal geyser]

Doesn't libre have something

[gleaming rose]

adobe software works great on linux

[tidal geyser]

Online excel

[elfin kindle]

[frail delta]

Lol

[tidal geyser]

I know it's shit

[frail delta]

Absolute crap

[robust trail]

Most will work, a VM is better. Sandboxing 😄

[gleaming rose]

i have lightroom classic 2025 working great and ive heard that photoshop works too

[frail delta]

There is no substitute (for Excel)

[elder quarry]

why?

[frail delta]

I'm sure I could find a decent alternative to Power Automate

[bronze jay]

It turned out the two things that were haunting me were that I didn't understand that I need to use proprietary drivers and I didn't figure out that KDE just doesn't work well with my card. That left a sour taste in my mouth and now I'm salty. The operating system itself actually works pretty well now but I'm biased because of my initial experience.

[robust trail]

Gnome is vastly more mature

[elder quarry]

try gnome

[gleaming rose]

gnome works great for me

[bronze jay]

I'm on cinnamon. It's good enough

[elder quarry]

faster than me

[bronze jay]

It works like kde, but unfortunately it's dumbed down

Can I get gnome to feel like kde

I love the information density in the kde settings

[robust trail]

It has boggled my mind that folks use immature desktop environments on linux, start out using distros like mint and kbuntu. As if there' some boogyman behind Ubuntu.

[bronze jay]

And I love that I can change the windows dttles6

[elder quarry]

it's a bit different, but it's really easy

[bronze jay]

YouTubers tell us we should try the hot new thing and we fall for it because we think Ubuntu is the "old thing" and that it has "less features"

[robust trail]

lol

[cinder raptor]

That boogeyman is canonical. They have made some questionable decisions

[bronze jay]

I'm just being honest

I didn't know shit and I still have a lot to learn, but I'm confronting my thought processes

[robust trail]

Canonical makes weird decisions but none of them include harvesting data, doing bad things or making an OS that is built to produce money for them.

[gleaming rose]

i got some junk on this roll while i was developing it but it honestly looks kinda cool

[gleaming rose]

no they harvest data

[elder quarry]

well ubuntu is the same as Kubuntu and Mint
also window manager != distro

[bronze jay]

YouTubers gave me the impression that Ubuntu is "hard to use" and that mint is the more beginner friendly version

[frail delta]

What have I done 😭

[bronze jay]

And I took it at face value

[elder quarry]

what's wrong

[bronze jay]

I just did whatever muta said

[elder quarry]

who/what's muta?

[bronze jay]

Mutahar

[frail delta]

An idiot

[gleaming rose]

someordinarygamers

[bronze jay]

Some ordinary gamers

[elder quarry]

no idea

[robust trail]

Gnome is a great DM, esily exensible. The only shit part about ubuntu is that you have to use python venvs to do anythin meaningful. I mean... you probably should use venvs but I don't care lol I break stuff all the time.

[gleaming rose]

DAMN

these colors fucking rock

[bronze jay]

See and as a new user that scares me

[thin plover]

why does that seagull look edited in

[bronze jay]

It doesn't have a shadow because of the angle of the sun

[robust trail]

Most people don't use python so it is a non-issue

[gleaming rose]

linucks

[elder quarry]

do you have to use venvs?!?

[robust trail]

Yes and no. If you don't mind using --break-system-packages in every damn pip install

[gleaming rose]

most distros use their package manager for python now which i HATE

[bronze jay]

I think I'm going to stay on mint for a while until my frustration wears off so that I can actually give Ubuntu a fair chance

[gleaming rose]

the worst shit since windows 8

[robust trail]

That's my only gripe. Instead... now I use docker compose for everything lol

[elder quarry]

it doesn't have packages in the repo like sudo apt install python3-xyz?

[bronze jay]

Also, I have a hot swap bay that I can insert a 128gb drive into to test

[robust trail]

blasphemy!

[bronze jay]

I tried to make a bit for bit backup with clonezilla but I can't boot into it which means it didn't work, but copilot told me it's probably just some sort of settings issue and that we can figure it out

[gleaming rose]

great googly moogly

[elder quarry]

most distros require that

[robust trail]

Yeah, so I use venvs and docker compose instead

plus when the container runs I can move it around without fuckery... mostly

rabble rabble rabble rabble I have to pay my taxes

[bronze jay]

I have a habit of giving people dual advice if I disagree with conventional wisdom. Other people will tell you this, but my opinion is this. Do what you think is right

[robust trail]

The beautiful part about linux is that if it blows up you can just reinstall it

same with windows but there isn't a bunch of telemetry 😄

[bronze jay]

People told me it was unnecessary to have a physical power switch on my backup drive. I think they are wrong

[gleaming rose]

linux is great because it doesnt blow up unless you yourself blow it up

[robust trail]

This is true

[bronze jay]

Disconnecting it from power isolates the drive

[gleaming rose]

whereas windows...

[robust trail]

MacOS is great because even if you blow it up it reassembles

[bronze jay]

This is true. Every time I had to reformat, it was because I didn't understand what I was doing

[bronze jay]

T-1000?!

[robust trail]

Basically

reinstalling macos over itself brings everything back to where it was before you blew it up

[gleaming rose]

linux can do this too fwiw

[robust trail]

no

linux is ephemeral to me lol

[gleaming rose]

it depends on the distro but its very possible

[robust trail]

my body count is high

[bronze jay]

I have this. The buttons are so solid and satisfying

[robust trail]

very high

[bronze jay]

It's all metal, they cheaper out on the cables themselves though, which is fine

If I want good cables I can just buy good cables

It also has indicator lights for which port is powered

[gloomy sleet]

if you have 27 drives what does windows do

do A1 B1 C1? or

[bronze jay]

I heard it gets fussy

A smart operating system would do AA AB AC

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[gleaming rose]

iirc it just does nothing automatically

[gloomy sleet]

or A(1) like when you have a copy of a file

[gleaming rose]

on linux:

  That's easy. After /dev/sdz comes /dev/sdaa. And, I've just tested it by making and logging into 800 ISCSI targets on my laptop, after /dev/sdzz comes /dev/sdaaa. :)

[bronze jay]

The way Linux does it is superior

[gleaming rose]

i think for nvme drives it's simpler

[bronze jay]

Sda: main drive
Sda1: Partition 1 of sda
Sda2: partion 2 of SDA

[robust trail]

windows just throws the dice

[bronze jay]

A B C tells you fucking nothing

Useless and insulting

Maybe I get offended too easily by bad design

[robust trail]

we are all bad design. Look at fingers. They simply grow from a stump

[bronze jay]

Human fingers are a good design

Our spines are shit. So is the prostate

[robust trail]

great UX, poor UI

[brave brook]

ethernet and nvme have even weirder (but also meaningfull) naming scheme

[gleaming rose]

enp4s0

[brave brook]

but those numbers have meaning 🙂

[bronze jay]

I got infuriated that I couldn't put some icons on both task bars. Copilot helped me figure out how to edit the text document that determines what applets are in the taskbar. So I use a placeholder applet, then rename it so I don't mess up the syntax

[brave brook]

it is the PCIe numbering

[gloomy sleet]

(not tryna be political) wild

just saw this today

[gleaming rose]

BAHAHAAHa

[bronze jay]

I despise him but I have to give him credit for what I think is objectively a good decision

[gloomy sleet]

bet companies are still going to charge more and complain that its tariffs

[wheat field]

Lol

[gleaming rose]

im tired of winning man

[tidal geyser]

Raw material

[bronze jay]

I try to stay fair

[gloomy sleet]

i wonder if that includes parts for those things too

[gloomy sleet]

most of the shit is manufactured in china anyway

[tidal geyser]

Is used for computer makingimg

[gloomy sleet]

very rarely is raw material turned into a gpu in the us

[wheat field]

A good decision based on shit policy. He could have inherited Bidens economy and been seen as the financial wizard he claims. Also this might mean fuck all because China hasn't lifted tariffs (at least from what I know)

[bronze jay]

China is going to be the world economic leader now. Trump handed it to them. I mean this as an economic statement and not a political one.

[gloomy sleet]

99% of the big tech companies manufacture in china

[wheat field]

No

[bronze jay]

That's what I wanted to say but I don't want to cause problems for mods

I also don't want to make people angry in what's supposed to be a tech discord

[wheat field]

China won't be an economic leader. That's all I'll say

[gloomy sleet]

my springs are still 104% more

[wheat field]

Anyway I got some first hand experience with IVF technology

[gloomy sleet]

they’re $2 a piece now not $1 a piece

[bronze jay]

fertilization?

I heard it's prohibitively expensive

[wheat field]

A couple from here asked me to be their donor (paid) and I got shown how it works

It's neat.

[bronze jay]

It's flattering that they liked your glorious master race genetics

[wheat field]

Rich Chinese people man

[bronze jay]

I'm not accusing you of being racist, but what does that have to do with being chinese?

[random gyro]

china numba won

[bronze jay]

Again I'm not accusing you of anything I just genuinely don't understand

[gloomy sleet]

real

[wheat field]

...I live in China

[bronze jay]

Ah, ok

[gloomy sleet]

i got my shifter working again

now i can play with my long stick again

[bronze jay]

As opposed to your short stick, which you replaced

You could store it in the tech sack for later

[dawn cedar]

7800x3D like to run hot

[gleaming rose]

yeah that's expected behavior

am5 basically overclocks until it overheats iirc

[dawn cedar]

sounds about right

I was like "hey wait a minute, this ain't right"

and then I recalled "oh yeah, they do that"

[gleaming rose]

I believe that should be what all cpus do except in certain circumstances

[dawn cedar]

I mean during gaming the temps don't exceed over 70

I mean right now for instance the cpu is going at like 40-50*C lol

[plucky hull]

is a 240mm radiator enough for a 3080? or is 3 fans like normal card better

[tidal geyser]

radiator?

[plucky hull]

yes?

[tidal geyser]

no

[plucky hull]

why do they sell the gpus with them attached?

[true stirrup]

Should be enough tbh

[tidal geyser]

so people spend more money to be able to spend more money once it dies

[true stirrup]

My GPU does 300W and I have a 240mm rad

[tidal geyser]

my gpu does 450w and i have a air cooler

not a massive amount of noise too

[plucky hull]

i think the max wattage for a 3080 is 320w

[tidal geyser]

well we both do not have a 3080

anyways shunt mod

look what my NAS is doing

[true stirrup]

I might do shims tbh

[plucky hull]

the reason i ask is i was wondering if i should get a AORUS Gaming Box and take the gpu out or try and get a normal card

[tidal geyser]

wut

[tidal geyser]

do you have a laptop

[true stirrup]

Aorus gaming box?

[plucky hull]

no

it uses a normal pcie slot with 240mm rad, theres one on facebook marketplace for 500 cad rn

[tidal geyser]

that is a external thunderbolt dock for a gpu

[gloomy sleet]

i wonder if i could use this plate

[plucky hull]

ik that but you can always take the gpu out

[gloomy sleet]

would those phillips head screws go into the bottom of the other plate i wonder

[tidal geyser]

yeah you can take it out but its a nightmare to try and use that

[gloomy sleet]

or i could put the screws in the other way

[plucky hull]

yep i watched a teardown video

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason why its still not sold

[plucky hull]

its the cheapest 3080 near me by like 50 cad

[tidal geyser]

50 cad?

did you forget to add a zero

[plucky hull]

true, but i was thinking about lowballing it to make it worth it

[plucky hull]

the next cheapest is 50$ more, so 500 for this 550 for a normal card

[plucky hull]

surly if i ofter 400$ or something it would be worth doing

[plucky hull]

oh thats a shame

[true stirrup]

That would be a sweet deal on a 3080

[tidal geyser]

its going to perform like a 3070 while also making it compatible with a normal pc is goign to make it costs as much as a 3080 ti

[tidal geyser]

in a box like this?

[plucky hull]

3080 tis are selling for 650 near me

[tidal geyser]

just no on the gpu

i would not spend more then like 300 on it

its one of the things where it costs a LOT to buy new but used its sad

[plucky hull]

ya i would 100% never buy this thing new, huge waste of money

[true stirrup]

Yeah getting it out of that is not worth the hassle
Also as you sent it's cut down so even worse

[tidal geyser]

maybe if you get lucky on someone selling a air cooler due to replacing it for a waterblock

but you need so many starts to line up and then also him including and not needing any screws for the waterblock himself

my ethernet port wont go past 90mbps .. i was asking to see if anyone faced this issue

[tidal geyser]

cat 5 cable?

[misty plume]

Cat6

[tidal geyser]

is the switch 100Mb

[misty plume]

i used the same cat 6 cable on another laptop and it worked fine

so i am 100% sure the issue is on the laptop side

i borrowed a usb-c hub with ethernet port and it worked, but the ethernet isnt working properly

devmgmt.msc -> Networking Adapters > Select the adapter -> Change from auto negotiate to 10/100/1000

Planning to upgrade from a gtx 1660 super to an rtx 3080 ti, or should I get a cheaper GPU to upgrade my other parts as well?

I buy my parts used, that's why the parts are so cheap

[misty plume]

i already tried that, but i chose 1000, would it help if i tired the other speeds ?

[frail delta]

Windows + R*

[tidal geyser]

shit

sorry big sleepy

[frail delta]

Also you can just type it in a terminal window or the start menu

[tidal geyser]

psu is shit

[frail delta]

General then click change settings

[tidal geyser]

o yeah true that too

[misty plume]

i know, but i think you skipped my message

[misty plume]

.

[frail delta]

Show us this

[graceful bobcat]

well I'm planning to undervolt the gpu anyways

do I want some headroom with the wattage?

[frail delta]

Change it to 1.0Gbps

[misty plume]

i tried 1000, should i try the other speeds ?

[tidal geyser]

no

[frail delta]

Those will just be 100Mbps

[tidal geyser]

you also want a ok psu anyways

[frail delta]

Or half duplex I guess if that NIC supports it

[misty plume]

ok done, the internet disconnected then reconnected

testing speed

[graceful bobcat]

damn is gigabyte really that bad or is that specific psu bad

sure I'll consider a psu change too I guess

[tidal geyser]

how fast is your ISP speeds?

[tidal geyser]

uhm no??

[tidal geyser]

how fast is your isp speeds

[misty plume]

i have 600mb internet

[tidal geyser]

mmmm

[misty plume]

i am getting the full speed on the other laptop

i dont want to hijak this channel, i created a tech-support thread

[bronze jay]

Holy shit I made a bootable backup with clonezilla and it actually worked

Usually things refuse to work when I try to use them. I'm shocked that I was allowed to do something like this and have it work

But I can't boot from it unless I disconnect the main drive because otherwise the motherboard gets confused for SOME REASON

It will only show one of them, even if I go to the settings where it's supposed to show multiple

[graceful bobcat]

I can't even find my PSU on that tierlist

it's regions specific it seems, but it's not as bad as the p650b I'm pretty sure, as the p650b is 80 plus bronze and the p650ss is 80 plus silver

[tidal geyser]

(silver is worse)

eh ok fine not really

but 80+ does not matter anyways

[graceful bobcat]

I'm not doing anything particularly important on this pc, Idrm tbh

and after I undervolt my 3080 ti the tdp is gonna sit at around 500w at most anyways

but yeah I'll look into it after I get a new cpu even later on

why is a flagship phone still using Li-Po batteries what the hell is Xiaomi doing

[tidal geyser]

cheap

[leaden swallow]

So cablemods emailed me

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[ebon marlin]

the phone literally uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 a flagship chipset but then they're using a Li-Po battery

[granite sundial]

what phone

[dapper light]

old domain expired, renewal price is ridiculous
got myself a .com domain :D

[plush wren]

It's ok

[ebon marlin]

Xiaomi 14

[leaden swallow]

Why, they're taking care of the taxes and fees

[tidal geyser]

just replace the battery

[ebon marlin]

are there even any Li-ion replacements

capacity on it is lowkey low too only 4.6k mah for an android

[tidal geyser]

good luck

[tidal geyser]

well it cant be free

there is always a cost

[leaden swallow]

Oh i know

[tidal geyser]

and 9 times out of 10 doing something like this will make it costs a whole lot more

[ebon marlin]

no way an LCD screen is 140€ wtf is mobileparts.shop smoking

same price as the OLED screen

mobileparts.shop is such a weird site it's a site meant for businesses but all their parts for android devices are so expensive and better off getting them from Aliexpress for significantly cheaper

only Apple devices parts are actually worth to get from there

[rancid moth]

iks there a big diffirence between a 4060 and 4060ti both 8 gig versions?

[ebon marlin]

both are shit

[tidal geyser]

get a rx 7800 xt or something

[rancid moth]

will it work great with 5 5600x?

[ebon marlin]

yes

[tidal geyser]

no no

[granite sundial]

yes

[tidal geyser]

it will explode

[ebon marlin]

are u buying a 5600x or do u already own one

[rancid moth]

buying

rn i have 5 5600g

[tidal geyser]

what are the specs of your current pc

[ebon marlin]

dont get a 5600x

get the basic 5600 since it's the same exact cpu

[tidal geyser]

eh 50% more cache

[rancid moth]

i will sel mmy current pc

[tidal geyser]

specs of it

[granite sundial]

5600x is barely better than the 5600g id put the money into a better GPU

[rancid moth]

ryzen 5 5600g
r9 380
16 gb 3200mhz ddr4

[ebon marlin]

also I recommend checking used marketplaces since used Rx 6800xt's go for around 300€-350€ and 6900xt's going for around 350€ if ur in the EU

[rancid moth]

512 gb ssd
a520m plus wifi asus tuf'

[cedar hollow]

Yes 4060 is more like a 10% better 3060 and a 4060 Ti is more like a 3070

[tidal geyser]

why not just replace the gpu and nothing else?

[ebon marlin]

yeah

[rancid moth]

500w PSU

[ebon marlin]

I'd just replace the gpu

[tidal geyser]

and maybe psu

[granite sundial]

new GPU and PSU why bother selling it for a marginal improvement

[ebon marlin]

get something like a used 6700xt/6800xt instead

[rancid moth]

i also want a new case since imm bored of my old one

[granite sundial]

ur selling a ddr4 am4 PC to buy a ddr4 am4 PC makes no sense

[tidal geyser]

you are making a budget pc

[ebon marlin]

save the new case for when you eventually decide to upgrade to AM5 or AM6

[rancid moth]

yh

[tidal geyser]

worst case montech xr or phanteks xt pro ultra for something more premium

[rancid moth]

is this case and brand good?

[ebon marlin]

or Phanteks XT Pro

[rancid moth]

i llove the wodden accenbts

[ebon marlin]

zalman is a cheap brand so don't expect quality

[tidal geyser]

i said that

[tidal geyser]

again budget pc

[ebon marlin]

oh I didn't notice mb

[wheat field]

zalman cases are good value. Used to have one of their full towers back when I was a broke college students

[rancid moth]

nvm

[wheat field]

Won't be as good as premium brands but they work and they're not super ugly

[tidal geyser]

why not go am5

[rancid moth]

its mATX

[tidal geyser]

no?

[rancid moth]

money is tough

[wheat field]

https://tenor.com/view/face-swap-ron-swanson-deep-fakes-sisters-comb-gif-16768448

[rancid moth]

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

[rancid moth]

[rancid moth]

[tidal geyser]

[rancid moth]

doont want for parts to break mid delivery

[tidal geyser]

o wait yea

[rancid moth]

llike from other coun tries

[tidal geyser]

no its not

welp ama use germany for a basework

for a base

[rancid moth]

why?

[tidal geyser]

since pcpartpicker does not have latvia

[rancid moth]

amazon . de

both countries hav massive diffirence in prices

[tidal geyser]

well shit

[rancid moth]

i mean maaybe nbot in pc parts

[tidal geyser]

pcpartpicker does not have latvia so i cant even try

[rancid moth]

r5 5600x is 106 euros

[tidal geyser]

i know for a fact you can fit am5 into 1000 euro

but i am also sleepy rn so adios

[ebon marlin]

hmm I might have a chance of geting a Rx 6900xt reference model for 350€

is it worth it though as reference models suck asss

[rancid moth]

what is reference model?

[ebon marlin]

they're the loudest and hottest

[rancid moth]

ohh

[ebon marlin]

it's like Nvidia's Founders edition but for AMD

[rancid moth]

ohh

[plucky hull]

ryzen 5 7500f is 122 euro

[rancid moth]

ryzen 5?

[plucky hull]

yes

[rancid moth]

and whats best gpu for it?

[teal sinew]

if you could get a rtx 3080 for a similar price then i would recommend that instead

[ebon marlin]

fuck no'

[plucky hull]

used 3080 or 3070 prob

[ebon marlin]

I don't want Nvidia

[rancid moth]

guys

or maybe i should try to find an actual good used pc

[gusty sparrow]

Can someone recommend a wireless mouse for me, under €80, suitable primarily for gaming but also for regular work. Without a perforated pattern .

[ebon marlin]

might scrap the idea because AIB cards are 10% faster than reference lol

[clear canyon]

any gpu

[ebon marlin]

knew the reference models are crap but damn 10% slower is cray cray

[clear canyon]

not even close

[plucky hull]

what would you suggest in 1k budget?

[clear canyon]

its euro, so im not sure

im in the US

[plucky hull]

i think its close to 1:1 to usd

[clear canyon]

its a different market tho

[plucky hull]

1 euro = 1.14 usd

[plucky hull]

oh thats true ig

[rancid moth]

is this good?

[clear canyon]

gpu isnt bad but cpu is meh

[ebon marlin]

you're paying hundreds of euros extra just for aesthetics

which would be better off spent in better specs

that pc without the white aesthetic would go around for 700€

[clear canyon]

nothin wrong with goin with a pretty pc

[ebon marlin]

yeah but with a budget that can be a problem

if you're on a budget ur better off spending ur money on pure performance

[frigid blade]

If you’re going for performance and on a budget, there’s a lot wrong

[ebon marlin]

pure performance pcs still look great

[clear canyon]

i agree but it depends on the person

[frigid blade]

Ban all the RGB

[clear canyon]

no?

[abstract wigeon]

any good split screen / local multiplayer ps2 games?

[clear canyon]

ps2?

[frigid blade]

That would be a good question for Google to list ngl

[abstract wigeon]

wanted the opinions of you guys

[ebon marlin]

I mostly have a pure performance pc while also still looking good

[clear canyon]

the black gpu 😭

[ebon marlin]

Idrc about it since I don't see my pc when I'm using it

[clear canyon]

lol

[abstract wigeon]

this actually looks very nice imo

[frigid blade]

Bro why is the face of the left doll so creepy, is it the nose that’s missing

[abstract wigeon]

it doesnt insist on itself

[clear canyon]

its anime, thats how 99% of them are

no nose

[abstract wigeon]

ignoring the rgb fans i like this

[frigid blade]

Yah but the one on the right looks fine 😂

[ebon marlin]

Miku is not anime

[clear canyon]

This is my build

[clear canyon]

She is an anime girl, same thing lmao

[ebon marlin]

I have them set to white although the rgb fans on the cpu cooler are shite and can't do white properly

[frigid blade]

I like that

[ebon marlin]

Miku is not an anime girl

[clear canyon]

yeah she is lmao

[ebon marlin]

No she is not

[clear canyon]

she is
