Minecraft Education

[glacial kraken]

Yes

It is 1440x872 @grizzled frost

[grizzled frost]

~1:2 scaling is crazy

[glacial kraken]

It runs like shit even on low res

[grizzled frost]

i mean it has 10 gpu cores

[glacial kraken]

Idk if that is good or not

I tried to send the world to my desktop but it didn't work

[rapid quarry]

Anything else you have open as well? 8gb unified memory is not great for much

[grizzled frost]

for a gpu you’re trying to game on, it aint

[glacial kraken]

Oh ok

[grizzled frost]

(any other tasks open will eat up your unified ram, which is used for cpu ram and VRAM)

[glacial kraken]

I wanted to send the world to my PC with a 1070 and an i3 7100

[grizzled frost]

(low VRAM will absolutely destroy your performance, so will low cpu RAM)

unified memory is honestly a cool concept, you just have to be aware of it

also a really shitty concept for the mac’s stuck with 8gb

[crimson abyss]

I’ve had to deploy 8 gig m series models at my job
Honestly not as bad as you think

[grizzled frost]

I use an 8gb mac, it’s perfectly fine as long as you don’t try to game or do any serious productivity work

my macbook is my school laptop, i have a server and a desktop for anything that requires heavy computation

[crimson abyss]

For sure
I even test launched almost all the apps at once on some of them
Handled it like a charm

[grizzled frost]

I don’t think i’ve ever noticed any performance issues with my mac at all

even with some light gaming

[crimson abyss]

Now the Intel macs
Holy hell
I destroy those with fire

When we get them back I wipe them and chuck them in the donate bin

[grizzled frost]

intel macs are an abomination and an insult to the silicon used to make them

so glad apple switched to their own silicon

[glacial kraken]

I also have YouTube playing on the mac

[grizzled frost]

close everything but minecraft and see what it’s like then

[glacial kraken]

It is better if YouTube is closed

Runs about 55-60 so it's good

[graceful girder]

U can't play Minecraft and listen to music at the same time?

Damn bro that's tough

[upbeat orchid]

uhhhhhhh…..

[glacial kraken]

I could on my phone

I was watching a fishing video

[graceful girder]

U can do both on ur phone or listen to music while u play?

[glacial kraken]

I could listen on my phone and play on my laptop

[graceful girder]

Like it's Minecraft that shit runs on like 4gb of ram

[graceful girder]

Oh well, whatever works

[glacial kraken]

I am emailing the world to my pc

I learnt how

[frigid blade]

wait thats crazy

the m4 mini is kinda a snag refurbished wtf

apparently the m4 igpu is comparable to a 3060

[gleaming rose]

send them to me
i am an Intel Mac fan and an apple silicon hater

[crimson abyss]

If you are an Intel Mac fan then you must be running at 100% all the time 🙂

[gleaming rose]

oh i dont even use macs

i just would rather have an intel one than an M chip one

[livid perch]

hello

this is fine rightt

look at my hinge lol

[crimson abyss]

No worries, just a joke about how Intel Macs sound like turbines trying to take off 100% of the time

[gleaming rose]

no it isnt but if it works it works

[formal sonnet]

Um. Your HP laptop appears to have a screen / bezel that's separating....

[gleaming rose]

mine have all been mostly silent except for playing games, i think you need to clean yours

[frigid blade]

Thats normal nothing to worry about

[livid perch]

i mean barely i keep getting black screen randomly and cant really moveee the screen cuz itll js tear the hall thing up but still good enough to make me watch videos

[livid perch]

the hinge is like competly broken

i can like remove the screen idek how it js stays like this rn

also this lol

[frigid blade]

just tape it

[livid perch]

well wont help cuz inside of the hinge is broken

[frigid blade]

tape the hinge

[livid perch]

hp makes very bad hinges soo

[livid perch]

its like inverted

[frigid blade]

uninvert it

[livid perch]

ion think its possible for me to tape it

[livid perch]

cant thats the problem

[ember inlet]

Use violence

[frigid blade]

have you tried to turn it off and on again

[livid perch]

thall prob break my oled screen

[crimson abyss]

In the process of updating all of our inventory from Intel to m series and trust me bro. Almost all of them sound like jets.

[livid perch]

cuz if i try to move it, it js gives me a black screen

[gleaming rose]

and anyways, computers are supposed to compute not run macos 🤣

[ember inlet]

Tactful violence

[crimson abyss]

Your not wrong

[gleaming rose]

the freedom alone is why i prefer intel silicon to apple

[livid perch]

i mean yk whats the bad part

the thing that is most likely dameging my screen is also the only reason why my screen can still hold up in this position

cuz the hinge has like a plate in the screen part

[ember inlet]

Yup

Somewhat ironic huh?

[livid perch]

that plate is broken and is sideways and because of that it kinda holds on the smth there and i cant move it or do anything to it

[ember inlet]

There's no warranty ofc?

[livid perch]

well

thing is 5 years old

lovely hinge

hp js makes shittiest hinges ever

[ember inlet]

"Hinge problem"

[livid perch]

like 95% of laptops use the hinge as a single piece

but hp is like fuck that we js using glue to attach a plate into the screen

which than breaks apart in 4 years

[ember inlet]

It can't be that hard to make a good one

[livid perch]

well time for me to get a new laptop anyways cant play anything on this now but i js gotta wait till summer is over cuz i need money for summer sooo

[ember inlet]

Gtg it's 5 30 and i have s flight to catch

[livid perch]

i mean its really not its js HP trynna save some pennies

[ember inlet]

Losers

[livid perch]

whats the flight number

[ember inlet]

Idk

[livid perch]

im js interested in the plane lol

[ember inlet]

From gardermoen to shipol

8 am Norway time departure

[livid perch]

alr

[ember inlet]

6 hours ahead of eastern time

[livid perch]

brb in a min have a plane to figure out

[ember inlet]

Oh sick

Report back 🫡

[livid perch]

which airline

[ember inlet]

Either SAS or delta

I think sas

[grizzled frost]

i didn’t know serial attached scsi had an airline

[livid perch]

SK 821

[ember inlet]

They love it

[livid perch]

flight no

bet its a a320

[random gyro]

Is it some form of illness to want to take your computer apart and rebuild it just for the sake of doing so?

[ember inlet]

Prolly

[gleaming rose]

yeah 12 giant planes per second

[ember inlet]

Yes prolly

[livid perch]

yep

its a322

[ember inlet]

Cool

[ember inlet]

I think I was on a a380-300 on the way from Boston to Amsterdam

[livid perch]

wile

[ember inlet]

Good plane

[livid perch]

plane u are flying with is 7.3 years old

[ember inlet]

But my 100w laptop charger trips the plug

[livid perch]

i agree i love the a380 it was so cool to fly in it

i have a flight with a 777-300ER in 28 days 14 hour flight :/

[ember inlet]

It's a big'n

[livid perch]

i love the 777 but its kinda old and i rather the normal 350, 787 they had on the route but they gave the 777 for when the schools close for more capacity

[livid perch]

458 seats

[ember inlet]

Oh very cool. If you don't mind me asking, what's your destination

[livid perch]

LAX-IST

may 23rd

[ember inlet]

Oh wow

[livid perch]

TK10

around 14 hours from pushback to park

[ember inlet]

My geography skills not so good, does that go across the US or over china/russia

[livid perch]

it goes across the US

[ember inlet]

Cool

[livid perch]

than goes over antartica

then europe n finally lands in Istanbul

where it taxis for like a hour

[ember inlet]

I'm honestly a bit surprised they'd do a direct flight like that I've always taken connections for most things. I went Boston to Chicago to Belize one time

[livid perch]

well they have a lot of connection flights

but turkish airlines has like 33 direct flights from USA to Turkey every day for some reason

[ember inlet]

To be fair Belize's airport was a bit more of a shack next to the tarmac

[ember inlet]

Oh wow

[livid perch]

n i rather fly the long haul straight up

[ember inlet]

Yea less headache

[livid perch]

lmao same in cyprus

istanbul on the other hand is js a huuuuuge place

[ember inlet]

Oh yea

[livid perch]

no joke it takes like 20 mins js to walk to passport control from the gate

[livid perch]

exactly also im flying with my mom n sister this time so i rather deal with less stuff

[ember inlet]

Gardermoen is really nice I've been there twice in this trip

[livid perch]

nice to know

[ember inlet]

Oh yea ofc

[livid perch]

def want to be there one day

[ember inlet]

On the shuttle there now

[livid perch]

welp have a nice flight in a fairly young a320

[ember inlet]

Thanks!

[limber nacelle]

you were sitting on 300 of these?????

that's crazy

[ember inlet]

Here have a crab

[kindred halo]

Reminder that someone in their "right" mind made this 5080 ad

[fallen sky]

Dawg 100% GPU usage on the main screen of CS2 with lowest possible settings

T-T

Ok tbf that was at 2k resolution

bumped it down to 1080p and it’s at ~80%

[fickle ivy]

i love a single usb C cable cnnecting 2 monitors a mouse and charging my laptop

[fickle ivy]

1080p is 2k

[fallen sky]

what.

[fickle ivy]

1080p is 2k

1440p is 3k

and 2160p is 4k

[fallen sky]

Bro is not on to anything

[fickle ivy]

?

[cedar hollow]

CS2 is quite GPU demanding ttbh

[fallen sky]

THIS demanding is insane

Valve bring back regular cs 🙏🙏

[cedar hollow]

they kinda had to with the new source 2 engine

its unfortunate but thats how it is

at least the game looks considerably better now

[fallen sky]

It’s aight

Damn 720p 80% usage

That’s insane bruv

6700xt ain’t THAT bad

[frigid blade]

its not tho

its more like 2.5k

[sinful cobalt]

They are onto something ❌
They are on something ✅

[tawdry pumice]

what is a good usb hub i can use for my pc?

[kindred halo]

Quite clearly

What they're on? No idea

[frigid blade]

probably one that works

[wispy thunder]

It got your attention and you now know what brand, what card, and how it looks all in one go

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[wispy thunder]

sure from an artistic standpoint it's not it, but from a marketing standpoint it was stellar

[sharp ivy]

True

[wispy thunder]

plus the company probably saved money on a graphic designer

so they actually made even more money than from a well-made ad

[slate bane]

Guy I need help

How do I hide my pc from my router, I use Ethernet

[formal sonnet]

What do you mean "hide your PC from your router"? In order to have a connection, your router will always know that something is connected on a given network port...

[slate bane]

Yes but does it have to know what device and how much usage

[kindred halo]

Does this PCB raise any red flags

The GPU looks alright

6700 XT btw

[formal sonnet]

It will know how much usage no matter what. If you were connected via WiFi, you could enable Windows built-in MAC Address Randomization function, but that doesn't exist for wired connections.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/711131/changing-mac-address-without-using-third-party-app
Why do you need to hide your computer from your router anyway?

[slate bane]

Doesn’t matter why, I just really need to

[formal sonnet]

Okay, well, good luck!

[slate bane]

Thanks

[hard nest]

Just got a new case and CPU today was going to case swap my rig and upgrade CPU but I found a dent on my new case should I just build it or get it exchanged

[tidal geyser]

Pic

[tidal geyser]

And it closes as it should?

[hard nest]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

Then it's fine

[hard nest]

Just doesn't look great

[tidal geyser]

If you put a micro scope to it

[hard nest]

Srew I'm just hammer it

If it's bent it's bent I guess

[junior valve]

rebend it

[hard nest]

It's cooked

Ima just go tomorrow and get it exchanged hopefully

[junior valve]

is it visable on your desk?

[rustic python]

Are Ryzen CPU's better in laptops than intel ones? Im tossing up between a Ryzen 7 7730u, a Ryzen 5 7537hs, or an intel i7 1355u

[hard nest]

yeah if i look i know its there

[upper abyss]

? just check power consumption and performance yourself i dont understand

[rustic python]

Alrighty

[upper abyss]

whats the laptop for :o

[rustic python]

Mainly uni and light blender work

blender as in the 3d program

[upper abyss]

ik i use blender aswell, i think single core isnt as important right?

the ryzen 7 has the best multicore with good power consumption it seems, but please research yourself because im not sure

the ryzen 5's is better but more multicore though more tdp

[rustic python]

yup! i think multicore is more important for things like rendering; but yeah ill make some research

🙏

[bleak ledge]

I wasn't expecting it to leave gaps lmao

[frail delta]

lol

[bleak ledge]

I'll just wait and see if Ajay comes out with anything

[empty quartz]

@frail delta Ifon

[empty quartz]

[frail delta]

The battery health is surprisingly high after how much I was travelling last year

[empty quartz]

Today was the first time my phone ever dropped below 20%

[frail delta]

My work phone is like that

Always 40-100% and usually only gets charged every second day

[empty quartz]

Ive never let this phone go above 85%

[frail delta]

Yeah I don't see the point in that

I'd rather just get the battery replaced or buy a new phone

[sage hearth]

Anyone here reasonably versed in projectors?

[frail delta]

https://dontasktoask.com

[sage hearth]

Alright timmy tough knuckles not nice

[tidal geyser]

1GB transfer speeds

[frail delta]

No, wasn't meaning to be a CU in the NT, just using everyone's time more efficiently

[sage hearth]

Im kidding im kidding

I literally just wanna find a decent projector for like max 1200$ that is ideally 4k and has low response time but i dont know too much lol

[frail delta]

How large do you want the image to be?

[sage hearth]

I have a 92” screen up on the wall right now

[frail delta]

I assume USD?

[sage hearth]

Thats the old projector on the dresser its just a cheapo portable one that served me well

[frail delta]

Have you considered a TV of about the same size?

[sage hearth]

For 92” youre lucky to not spend 2k on a tv

[upbeat osprey]

I can’t see the cycles :(

[frail delta]

$1800USD

[sage hearth]

WHERE

[sage hearth]

LMAO HOLY DEAL

[junior valve]

is that cad?

[frail delta]

Yeah, TVs are cheap. A whole lot cheaper than a good projector

[frail delta]

AUD

$1000 USD

An okay projector will cost you as much or more ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sage hearth]

That tcl is 1600 for me so a bit out of range. I found the viewsonic px749 4k which is right at the top of my budget.

[frail delta]

I think nowadays anything under 100" a TV makes more sense lol

Which seems crazy

[sage hearth]

I suppose i could stick with 1080p for a projector too since thats what i already had.

[frail delta]

https://tools.rodrigopolo.com/display_calc/

[proud island]

Is buyers remorse real for PC’s and have you guys experienced it?

[frail delta]

22ppi

[sage hearth]

I spent 2500 on mine with my 7800x3d and 7900xtx and sometimes i do think id have been better suited to go with a much more modest build but yk.

[proud island]

I’m only asking cause I’m spending a shit ton on a 5080 build and ion think I’ll be rly happy with 30fps in 4k

[frail delta]

Suddenly I want an 85" TV

[sage hearth]

Youll get more than 30 with that card

[proud island]

Meh not in AAA games

I saw some benchmarks

[young crest]

my new gpu but I think it’ll be worth it

[proud island]

Ok maybe 50-60

[split shore]

hey quick question, is getting a new gpu as easy as taking out the old one, popping in the new one and downloading drivers on geforce exp?

[sage hearth]

Well for example the 7900xtx and the 5080 are relatively equal with the 7900xtx pulling harder in some titles and they both average around 60-75

[frail delta]

It'd definitely get more than 30fps in Minecraft

[tidal geyser]

same

[sage hearth]

Make sure your power supply can handle the new one but pretty much

[split shore]

ok thanks. yeah i got a new psu cuz the new one is a 3080 ti upgrading from a 1650 super lmao

[sage hearth]

Ive thought about selling it and building something with like a 4070 and pocketing the difference just for savings alot

[tidal geyser]

tbh i could and maybe even make a bit

buuut i do like my pc

and even got 96GB of ram now

[sage hearth]

Thats exactly where my roadblock is 😭 i could do it BUUUUUT

[split shore]

only problem is its gonna be paired with a r5 2600 but i cant afford that upgrade so gotta deal with it for the time being

[sage hearth]

Holy bottleneck batman

[tidal geyser]

no

[split shore]

yep. ik lol but im upgrading soon

[livid fern]

Btw what is the new psu

[tidal geyser]

fun fact the gpu can be the "bottleneck" in some games

[sage hearth]

At least youre am4 so you can go up to a 5800x3d on that platform

[split shore]

evga 850 gold plus

[tidal geyser]

it has not been made for a LONG LONG LONG time

[sage hearth]

Well if hes american the used market is easy to find them

[split shore]

yeah im using a asus strix b450 board

[livid fern]

Supernova GT? alrighty

[tidal geyser]

no

XD

[young crest]

do not listen to me I cannot read Amazon listings

[tidal geyser]

5800X?

[young crest]

X non 3D

[livid fern]

@split shore which one . There are 15 models

[tidal geyser]

yeah that was what i was trying to say

[tidal geyser]

why in the hell would someone sell THE BEST gaming cpu you can get on am4 alone

[split shore]

the board? its this one
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xYvqqs/asus-rog-strix-b450-f-gaming-ii-atx-am4-motherboard-rog-strix-b450-f-gaming-ii

[tidal geyser]

anyways the price for it is as much as just going am5

[sage hearth]

Am5 lol

[livid fern]

Nono the psu

[sage hearth]

Meaning to upgrade

[tidal geyser]

then people would rather sell it as a kit, but the performance of it is good enough to where most people just wanna stick with it but tbf some people have too much money

[sage hearth]

I sold my 5950x to upgrade to the 7800x3d

[tidal geyser]

8 core gaming cpu to 8 core gaming cpu yay

but ofc that is a different case

[split shore]

oh oh my friend is sending me it im not sure the exact model i just know that info

[proud island]

Yo guys

You should try eating soggy potatoes.

[thorn notch]

does anyone know how i can fix my keyboard light my K and R key are very dull and my |\ key does not light up at all my keyboard is a Logitech g413 tkl se

[proud island]

I can never go back

[thorn notch]

please send a dm or something its driving my ocd NUTS

[swift moss]

[split shore]

would anyone be able to give me a recommendation for a cpu at around 100 bucks usd to pair with a b450 board and the 3080 ti?

[tidal geyser]

i wanted to try this but then i saw premium -_-

ANIME CAT GIRLS

[swift moss]

the DE config looks so good though, i might try replicate it myself on debian + openbox

like fuck you guys

they got premium editions of wms

[sage hearth]

Why are we selling linux 😭

Thats insane

The whole point of it is to be open and free for all

[frail delta]

Not really?

[sage hearth]

I guess its more of an opinion but to me i think thats a bit much given the nature of linux in itself

[frail delta]

They have a free version of that distro

[young crest]

Zorin os has a free version and a paid version

[frail delta]

If you really want you could request a copy under GPL

[young crest]

not totally unheard of

[frail delta]

RHEL

[sage hearth]

Ive only bounced around like 5 distros basic arch endeavor nobara opensuse and mint are the few i hop between when im bored on my laptop

So i guess i just dont see all the paid distros

[swift moss]

not with their configs

i think selling configs is a bit silly, as a third party i see no issue, but cmon, people sell actually useful stuff then we sell fancy scripts (which is also a craft dont get me wrong)

there are many better dotfiles for free on github

that are 60 dollars! for 3 scripts and a fancy iso

nothing compared to windows but thats a completely different software

its not piggybacking off of an existing codebase of arch

[frail delta]

Then just don't buy it?

[swift moss]

i mean im allowed to have an opinion

[tidal geyser]

no

[swift moss]

if you dont like trump, just dont live in the USA???

[frail delta]

No. You're a fuckwit, shut the fuck up

That is obviously a joke

[fair condor]

Hi guys

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/kjyAozLazpZ.gif

[fair condor]

I have an i7 10700 with 16gb ram it was an office pre build,and when i opened it and finded that it has an 300watt psu and it doesn't have external power connector so i searched an came across rtx 3050 6gb so that was the best graphics card i can buy (atleast in my case) so my question is whether my psu will support it or not can anyone help me?

[true stirrup]

If you can fit it into the case it should work

[fair condor]

What about power supply requirement will it handle ?

[true stirrup]

Yes it should

[fair condor]

My main concern is i7 10700 which got 135+ watts consumed when i played Minecraft and also it have 16gb ram ,1tb hdd,1tb samsung 980 pro ssd

[true stirrup]

And that GPU can pull 75W max

[fair condor]

Yes

And that SMPS is chicony 80+ platinum 300watt

[random gyro]

How do i display an overlay with the 12pin cable amp ?

I got hwinfo , rtts and msi ab

[limpid dune]

Probably, yes. You can look up the datasheet for the original PC, it should say if it supports graphics cards. It probably does, they almost all do, and all of the GPUs with no power connector pull 75W at maximum

[true stirrup]

In MSI afterburner go into the settings and overlay
There select what data you want displayed

[random gyro]

Its checked but its showing nothing

[true stirrup]

Did you press the keybind to show it?

[random gyro]

Ah now it does

@true stirrup i try with hwinfo, it has the voltages but not amps / current. Cant see it

[glacial tulip]

is the ps5 capable of 4k 60fps??

[upper abyss]

what do you think of this gpu looks wise

[true stirrup]

Is that ROG branded HWInfo64?

[true stirrup]

I like it

[random gyro]

Sry, wdym rog branded?

I just googled hwinfo and downloaded

[true stirrup]

Well I see the ROG logo and text in the bottom

[random gyro]

Downloaded the installer here

[true stirrup]

Okay good then

[random gyro]

Im in sensor settings , thats whrre rog logo is. Weird that it doesent show current

[true stirrup]

MSI afterburner also doesn't have an option to show it?

[dusky laurel]

Hello there 👋

[true stirrup]

Can't start up my pc rn to check

[random gyro]

I am dumb, found it

Sorry, musve unchecked it in settings unintentionally

[dusky laurel]

I will rot to death before I fix my laptop 😭

[strange atlas]

is intels new gpu good

[true stirrup]

B580 is quite good for it's price yes

[random gyro]

Never thought having gpu radiator 2cm away from cpu air cooler has such good temps

Ryzen 9 9950x3d in minecraft 50c , idle 35c

[strange atlas]

is it as good as rx 6800

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about idle but yeah in minecraft 50c is fun

tbf not the most insane game tho

and also you kinda have the best air cooler money can buy for amd

[random gyro]

Yeah true , i had a pc with alder lake once, it was 80-90 in mc

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[true stirrup]

No

[random gyro]

And it had a good aio, my friend installed it and he does a lot of oc building (he didnt have time to help me yesterday)

[tidal geyser]

its more like a 6700 xt

[strange atlas]

gotcha thank you

i thought i could sell my rx 6800 in second hand and buy brand new b580 but if its worse fuck that

[true stirrup]

Go for the 3DMark leaderboards 💯

wah cb 10nm ff is pain as shit

[sinful cobalt]

@gloomy sleet my arms and legs are sore as shit

[random gyro]

Should i undervolt the 5090, or can i just power limit to like 80?

[elder quarry]

no

[abstract wigeon]

my 650w wont handle a 9070xt will it?

[livid fern]

Which model

[sinful cobalt]

if its a reaver msrp model then it can do standard 304w but u want headroom

it depends on ur cpu tho.

[abstract wigeon]

sapphire pulse

[abstract wigeon]

r5 7600

theres a chance i could get a non modular 750w for cheap

[plush wren]

[sinful cobalt]

i just got another opinion of what my card smells like

new car smell

[livid fern]

Psu

[harsh whale]

I have 80$ worth of budget, what should I add to this build?

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX - 9,750 EGP
Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 A-RGB - 1,999 EGP
Case: Xigmatek Cubi II Argb - 4550 EGP
GPU: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC 16G - 37,500 EGP
RAM: G Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB 32Gb (2X16G) DDR5 6400Mhz CL36 - 6400 EGP
SSD 1: Klevv Cras C730 2Tb - 5400 EGP
PSU: MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 – 850W - 5,900 EGP
Monitor: Lenovo Legion R27qe 27" 180Hz - 10499 EGP

[elder quarry]

nothing, save that 80$

or actually

buy a 9070 xt instead of 9070

[harsh whale]

Its out of stock right now, but it fits beautifully in my budget, so when I find it I'll buy it.

[random gyro]

Stuff like this happen from time to time where everything is unresponsive and i have to shutdown pc. (Newly built) i deleted razer synapse , could it also be ram?

[abstract wigeon]

atm rm650x iirc

[fading glen]

hey guys i have a doubt regarding my nvidia driver

can i ask here

[elfin night]

3080 or 4070

[fading glen]

5070ti

lol

[elfin night]

that wasnt the question

[fading glen]

then what was?

[elfin night]

3080 or 4070

[fading glen]

3080

[elfin night]

ok

[elder quarry]

take that, windows!

[true stirrup]

Yes

[fading glen]

which driver should i update to

using a pretty old one

[true stirrup]

Could be a tone of stuff
Try
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
and
sfc /scannow
In cmd

[copper swallow]

what is this window

i love the way it looks

[elder quarry]

btop (bashtop++)

[fading glen]

md can u help out

[copper swallow]

so like an improved version of bash?

or something completely different?

[true stirrup]

Honestly leave it as it is if it's working for you right now
Newer drivers have some issues

[elder quarry]

no, improved version of top

[copper swallow]

Oh lol

[fading glen]

so the 572.70 driver is still fine

[copper swallow]

Oh wait I assumed it was a terminal, but it's a resource monitor

[elder quarry]

it is in a terminal yes

that's kitty

[true stirrup]

If I remember correctly anything over 566 can have issues but if it's working for you then great and just leave it for a bit until stuff gets fixed

[fading glen]

i cant seem to use dlaa with rdr2 and still have to use dlss

rest everything is fine

[elder quarry]

I gotta mess with my opacity, there's like none while focused

[fading glen]

thanks md i appreciate the help

have a good day

[copper swallow]

That's so fucking sick

Love the little ASCII train

[elder quarry]

yeah

[copper swallow]

Can I see your background in its full glory

[elder quarry]

this is my wallpaper stolen from reddit

tux is always watching you

oop

[half citrus]

Lol

I see you

[elder quarry]

@copper swallow want my cfg?

[lunar night]

hi my pc is stuck booting for the past 5 minutes. It was fine yesterday. is it safe to turn it off with the power button or do i have to wait until it boots?

[elder quarry]

it could break your windows install, but your pc is fine

[lunar night]

okay so if i turn it off now it might corrupt windows?

[elder quarry]

you probably have to turn it of

[lunar night]

what is this issue caused by?

[mellow cairn]

Could be millions of thjngs

It could literally be because of space radiation

[half citrus]

Yeah, just hold the power button, it won't cause any major damage, does not say to not turn off your computer

[copper swallow]

I don't use linux myself but thanks though

[elder quarry]

oke

consider switching

it's nice

and 0% cpu usage is good too

[copper swallow]

The last couple of times I used Linux I liked the system but the maintenance was pretty ass. Had to update packages constantly and sometimes it would break shit on my system out of nowhere.

This was half a decade ago though so it's probably better now

I'm gonna run Linux when I get a new laptop ubt on my main I'm only gonna run Windows

[elder quarry]

whuy

[hybrid acorn]

You can't really go wrong with Linux if you're using some simple to learn os like Ubuntu

[elder quarry]

arch isn't that hard either

[hybrid acorn]

I liked the short time I had using it and I'll probably start using it more

[hybrid acorn]

Just a moderately more annoying install

[copper swallow]

My personal experience has been that Windows is more stable.

And before you all go for my throat Imma emphasize that it's my personal experience. Honestly in all the years I've used Windows I've had less issues than running linux for 1 year

[elder quarry]

yeah

[elder quarry]

windows? stable?

[hybrid acorn]

Windows is fine but Linux is better for things you just want to set and forget

[copper swallow]

Yes! It was more stable than Linux ever was for me

[elder quarry]

my linux installation hasn't crashed or f'ed itself ever

[hybrid acorn]

I'm gonna probably use Ubuntu for my Plex server/nas

[elder quarry]

TrueNAS

[copper swallow]

Why not use TrueNAS?

[elder quarry]

low end hardware or what?

[hybrid acorn]

I might I just don't have any experience with it

[copper swallow]

Neither did I 1 month ago

[hybrid acorn]

I'm gonna run an i5 12500 for the transcoding

So it's not going to be ancient hardware

[tidal geyser]

tbh i would do truenas but i already used it for a long time

and why plex

[hybrid acorn]

Does truenas require a license or is that only for stuff

[copper swallow]

No it's free

TrueNAS SCALE (now called "community edition" apparently) is 100% free

[gloomy sleet]

bro skipped leg day

[elder quarry]

sim* do you use ASF

[gloomy sleet]

use 200kg load cells on your pedals

[sinful cobalt]

my friend couldnt even press the brake all the way

[gloomy sleet]

and 30nm of ffb

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[hybrid acorn]

Are there other alternatives?

[gloomy sleet]

i prefer a longer travel over a really stiff brake

[tidal geyser]

well yea?

[gloomy sleet]

a stiff brake is just plain unrealistic most of the time

[hybrid acorn]

Plex seems to be the go to for hosting media

[tidal geyser]

wat is dat

[elder quarry]

ArchiSteamFarm

[tidal geyser]

not really

[sinful cobalt]

yea

[hybrid acorn]

I want my family to access stuff on it easily too

[tidal geyser]

i saw that but no, never really gave a shit about dat

[tidal geyser]

cool, go jellyfin

[elder quarry]

lol

[tidal geyser]

jellyfin can do almost everything plex can but tbh a bit better for some things from what i have seen

and ofc its ALL free

[hybrid acorn]

Seems interesting

[elder quarry]

ooh i5 14400 for 1700kr now

gone down nice

[tidal geyser]

its funny, i am watching batman on my jellyfin that is doing hevc 10 bit with dolby vision 8.1

works like a dream

[gloomy sleet]

even race cars have long travel lol

[elder quarry]

waht gpu do you have

[tidal geyser]

1650 super

[copper swallow]

Wait are you scandinavian?

[tidal geyser]

and when i am away i would access the server directly but i sadly cant port forward soo it is jellyfin

[elder quarry]

do you think iGPU encoder will be sufficient

[tidal geyser]

ja men svensk jeg er norsk

[hybrid acorn]

That's what I'm going for

[tidal geyser]

more then plenty

[copper swallow]

No way! Jeg er dansk!

[hybrid acorn]

Igpu, but I'm using an matx board so I can always add a gpu

[sinful cobalt]

that brake pedal was stiff as shit and I was fighting the steering wheels

[elder quarry]

ja, jag är svensk och sim är norsk. Det är ganska roligt hur många skandinavier det är här

[tidal geyser]

what cpu was it again

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-gunn-eww-gross-yuck-meme-disgusting-sticks-tongue-out-gif-1716626911192888665

[hybrid acorn]

I5 12500

[tidal geyser]

YES

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[hybrid acorn]

Has that 770 encoder

[tidal geyser]

ok you can do transcoding

[gloomy sleet]

bro needs to hit arm day

[tidal geyser]

that is not a encoder

[elder quarry]

igpy

[sinful cobalt]

the guy set the force feedback to 100% bro

[copper swallow]

my first reaction when you mentioned there's a swede here

[hybrid acorn]

I meant the 770 has that

[gloomy sleet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/M6B4GicQ31o?si=w4orIDJPcJAbLWrF even a gt3 has a long travel

[hybrid acorn]

😭

[gloomy sleet]

what wheel base?

[elder quarry]

everyone hates denmark

[tidal geyser]

anyways eveything after 11th gen is fully supported

[sinful cobalt]

alpha mini DD by simagic

[hybrid acorn]

So wacky in Ireland the i3 12100 is significantly more expensive than the 12500

[tidal geyser]

make sure to go into transcoding and set intel quick sync

[copper swallow]

hate us cuz they aint us

[sinful cobalt]

its 10nm bro

[tidal geyser]

xd

[hybrid acorn]

Drives are expensive too damn

[gloomy sleet]

blud has hitting 15nm lmao

try doing that for a 24 hour race

[tidal geyser]

you could try and look used just not sure how much there is around you

[elder quarry]

really? 3TB for like 60$ here

[hybrid acorn]

eBay has plenty of used drives I'll check them out

[gleaming rose]

nooope

well, yeah whatever

[tidal geyser]

xd

[gloomy sleet]

high power DDs aren’t even that expensive nowadays

[elder quarry]

ebay is a jungle

[hybrid acorn]

Ill get 2 or 3 and have some form of redundancy in case one dies

[elder quarry]

sim mmagic

[copper swallow]

what is that?

[tidal geyser]

i need to start looking at drives

[gloomy sleet]

it says it in the picture dog a simagic alpha mini

[hybrid acorn]

How many movies are on that

[elder quarry]

many

[hybrid acorn]

I've been confused on just how much storage to get for media

[frail delta]

Not really?

[gloomy sleet]

damn

might have to pick up

[copper swallow]

The picture has its name, not a description of what this item is 😭

Turns out it's a wheel base for sim racing

[gloomy sleet]

i bet it’ll say it’s exactly 16tb in windows too

[tidal geyser]

well i tend to not give a shit about transcoded or not sooo some movies are taking up way more space then they should do

[true stirrup]

Definitely not a scam lol

[elder quarry]

o: I can stash my pi

[tidal geyser]

1.5k anime episodes
1.65k normal shows
46 movies

[elder quarry]

woah what a steal, link?

[sinful cobalt]

My table is gonna flip itself upside down if i get 10nm

[frail delta]

Very much a steal!

[gloomy sleet]

just get the 2007 mclaren f1 pedal setup you’ll be good

[gloomy sleet]

that left pedal is a brake for only the rear left wheel

[elder quarry]

wait what 7.79/2.95?

[sinful cobalt]

i think imma get the moza r3 from taobao bruh

[tidal geyser]

last part is how much is left

[hybrid acorn]

Impressive

[gloomy sleet]

save up for a csl dd honestly

same price 5nm can be upgraded to 8nm too

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine i can trim like 1TB if i transcoded

[elder quarry]

ah ok so much downloaded

[hybrid acorn]

On 7tb? Damn

[gloomy sleet]

also has an option for a formula wheel if you need

[tidal geyser]

i have 14TB usable

[hybrid acorn]

I can definitely shrink my priorities down to way smaller drives

Since I'll probably just put movies on it and not shows

[sinful cobalt]

Im either going r3 or 5

[hybrid acorn]

Two 6tb drives and maybe mirror?

[tidal geyser]

look how much space those 46 movies take up

[hybrid acorn]

Could be a move

[tidal geyser]

tbf some are 4k and i think blueray ripped so not transcoded

[gloomy sleet]

nah

[hybrid acorn]

I have some blue rays to rip

[gloomy sleet]

csl dd is better value

same price as an r3

[sinful cobalt]

i need to try R5 and see if 5.5mm will vibrate my table violently

[gloomy sleet]

probably

[lunar night]

ok i restarted it and it was fine. probably some light ray flipping a zero

[gloomy sleet]

the r5 can get to like 7nm in some cases

i measured my r3 at 4.5nm peak

[mellow cairn]

Exactly

[sinful cobalt]

none existent here

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[tidal geyser]

10 gig is working

[gloomy sleet]

i’d go for the r5 with the brake performance kit (also get the srp accessory kit if you don’t like how stiff the brake kit is)

[tidal geyser]

im only getting like 300MB read write when not cached tho 😦

[mellow cairn]

Damn, I get 9.9

[tidal geyser]

ran that for 120sec

but i am also not running it trough a switch

[mellow cairn]

I will try it later, just doing bullshit now

Oh yeah I'm using a ubiquiti switch

[tidal geyser]

i just use the gateway

not really meant to be doing this with it

but well as you can see its close enough

[frail topaz]

gpu is arriving tuesday 🙏

pfffff cant wait

[tidal geyser]

i also did not add a fan to it so tested for 480 sec with no issues

[sinful cobalt]

from what i see its a $162 sgd diff between r3 and r5 if i get from taobao

[gloomy sleet]

if go for the r5

[elder quarry]

ooh my fren asked me if I wanted a case

[sinful cobalt]

R3 $440
R5 $602

Full sets triple pedals with SRP kits

[gloomy sleet]

nice

definitely get the r5 imo

[sinful cobalt]

my table is thin as fk tho

[copper swallow]

which one did you get?

[sinful cobalt]

locally i can get the R3 for $500

[frail topaz]

sapphire nitro+ 9070xt

upgrading from a GTX 1050

[copper swallow]

Nice! That's a good card

[hybrid acorn]

Got a 10 gig card too because my switch can support it

20 bucks I'm happy

[sinful cobalt]

R5 is like $664

[hybrid acorn]

I'll run a passive 5m cable from my switch

[gloomy sleet]

it’ll be good

just get a wheel stand for like $50 as soon as you can

[sinful cobalt]

look at ts

its fkin thin

[gloomy sleet]

pretty sure the gtomega apex is like £50 clearance

[gloomy sleet]

it’ll be fine for a couple months

looks thicker then mine

[sinful cobalt]

but if i get one i need it to be foldable

foldable options are like upwards $200 sgd

[tidal geyser]

is the switch sfp+

[hybrid acorn]

Yup

Has two ports

[tidal geyser]

do you run it with a direct fan

[gloomy sleet]

look for the gtomega apex

[sinful cobalt]

im pretty sure if I pressed on the brake pedal like jn but I was sitting on my chair I’d go out of my room

[hybrid acorn]

The switch?

Or the nic

[tidal geyser]

sfp+ card

[hybrid acorn]

Nic hasn't arrived yet and I'll put a 40mm noctua near it

Since it's going in a slightly cramped case

[gloomy sleet]

shit is cheap

[hybrid acorn]

I doubt I'll strain the nic enough for thermals to be a huge issue but better safe then sorry and the case could do with some more airflow

[sinful cobalt]

also non existent

[iron glen]

vaux do you know a cheap direct drive wheel

[random gyro]

@true stirrup it was synapse lol

So, are my temps not displaied correctly or why tf is gpu and cpu both at about 50c (50 or less) with minecraft shaders on high settings XD thats so low omg

[tidal geyser]

yeah do not use razer anything

[random gyro]

Sad. Rly 😄

Idk why their software is so bad

[glacial tulip]

will a 7900xtx overclocked be able to run roblox? (max graphics)

[sinful cobalt]

wdym razer, you mean garbage?

asus bad

[hybrid acorn]

[sinful cobalt]

no u need a 6090

[harsh whale]

Even I have a 5070Ti for cheaper than that

[sinful cobalt]

asus bad

[true stirrup]

Watercooling moment

[random gyro]

Got a leather case

[jovial swan]

well it has 6 gigs of vram

[gloomy sleet]

a moza r3 is the cheapest i can think of

the csl dd or moza r5 is better value though

[iron glen]

im kinda broke atm, if i find a really good deal i might buy one

[flint thorn]

question im looking to buy the Ubiquiti Flex Mini 2.5 but not sure if all of its rj45 ports have poe, im pretty sure it doesnt

would anyone know

[warm linden]

Finally finished my mini itx build

[flint thorn]

hows the clearance between the gpu and the desk?

doesnt seem alot

[warm linden]

About an inch

[flint thorn]

id get some rubber feet if the temps go too high

[warm linden]

It came with some I just haven’t put them on yet

[flint thorn]

ah

nevermind

[gloomy sleet]

i’d save up for a moza r5 honestly

[plush wren]

what the fuck the psu is as big as the motherboard

if thats SFF then what does atx look like there

[high raft]

Anyone know any good deals on those external wifi routers, the ones that plug in directly to the motherboard (uk)

Mines a bit short

[hybrid acorn]

I think it's an atx psu

Which are deceptively large

[warm linden]

Correct I still have an atx psu

Next purchase will be a sff psu

[plush wren]

yeah

lowk I might just put my pedals in a way it pushes against my thick alienware monitor box

[gloomy sleet]

[warm linden]

Everything went smoothly first boot

Installed a little power button on the side

[high raft]

nice

Evga oo nice

[supple mist]

I've tried to update the network card driver on my x870e crosshair and it gave me an overcurrent on a usb error, wtf could have gone wrong?

[warm linden]

Yes ryzen 5 5600x, evga xc rtx 3060, 2x32gb ddr4 corsair ram 3600mhz cl16, evga 850w gold psu and an aorus b550i mini itx mobo

My mobo is WiFi capable and I have my WiFi antenna thing plugged in yet it’s not detecting any?

[frail delta]

None have poe out

[high raft]

Might just be that the drivers for it aren’t there

If you have an ethernet cable, use that to get stuff downloaded

if you dont

It should just work

[elder quarry]

CPU ordered (;

[hybrid acorn]

Windows is evil for wifi drivers

[high raft]

Thats so odd

[hybrid acorn]

Very evil

[elder quarry]

Yes sad

[hybrid acorn]

My server still doesn't have wifi drivers on windows but Ubuntu detected them immediately

So fun

[frail delta]

If you're looking for a PoE -> PoE switch, I don't think you'll find a 2.5GbE one, they're mostly used for surveillance

[elder quarry]

ubuntu or ubuntu server?

[high raft]

1,700 :0
ah krona

[warm linden]

How would I go about getting said drivers

[hybrid acorn]

Ubuntu normal I'm not good enough at Linux commands

[high raft]

usb drive if you dont have an ethernet cable to spare

[warm linden]

I do

[high raft]

its annoying when windows just doesn’t windows

[elder quarry]

yeah SEK, 1 USD ~= 9.6 SEK

[hybrid acorn]

Haven't done jack with it yet because I run into hurdle after hurdle after hurdle

[high raft]

Gbp but yea I see

[elder quarry]

no way US people have this bad prices

[warm linden]

Connected to Ethernet

[elder quarry]

it's only one retailer but newegg is fine mostly

[warm linden]

Where would I look to get them installed

[high raft]

Search ‘intel wifi drivers’

Theres an application that just installs them

[warm linden]

??

[high raft]

Yup

Prompts to update them whenever available (i dont)

[warm linden]

My bios is also over a year old lol so that doesn’t help either

[warm linden]

Didn’t work

Still can’t show WiFi lol

[high raft]

So its not drivers hm

By antenna is it like usb or the uh

[warm linden]

The two connectors yes

[high raft]

Yea that

Just check its tightened correctly

Might be a bit off

[warm linden]

Tight as can be

[high raft]

im stumped then

Not drivers, not connection

Idk if its like this but switch the connections around

never heard of them to be fussed abt what one they are plugged into but its worth a shot at this point

[warm linden]

I just went to the gigabyte website and downloaded all the latest drivers

[high raft]

alright

[warm linden]

It says not operational

[brazen wind]

I get my GPU back on Monday

[gilded cosmos]

hi chat, i have a 7700 (intel), 32 GB of DDR4 and a 3070, but the oblivion remaster is completely unplayable for me. i assume i'm cpu-bound, what settings directly affect the load on it?

[carmine light]

similar to the one i have

but worse

i got mine for £30 in some old mans shop

[tidal geyser]

It's a 7700

[carmine light]

he got it from auction for next to nothing becasue no one wanted it

[teal sinew]

if youre hard cpu limited then you probably wont be able to fix it

[tidal geyser]

It was old even when like 9th gen came out

[teal sinew]

but settings that affect your cpu are usually npc count, npc complexity, and extended draw distance

[gilded cosmos]

it handles CP2077, genshin impact and viewing PDFs fine.

[ripe spire]

Sim have u done this

[rigid fjord]

the last time i had a laptop that could run xp on it, it was easilly upgraded to win 7, and that was a dell latitude d510

[tidal geyser]

I have cleaned my pc

[carmine light]

i like it because its cool

from the reviews it sounds like a jet engine

[ripe spire]

I don’t think I’ve ever dusted my gpu fans 💀

[carmine light]

5 fans not surprised

[gilded cosmos]

i can't seem to find any settings related to npcs, but could maybe "cloth quality" and "hair quality" be connected to the processor?

[rigid fjord]

a good paintbrush has the same effect tbf

[teal sinew]

sounds more gpu related to me but you could try playing with every setting to see if anything helps

[ripe spire]

I’m too scared of scratchy paint brushes scratching stuff up, we don’t have any non scratchy paint brushes afaik

[teal sinew]

you probably wont be able to eliminate stutters because that game stutters even with a 9800x3d and 5090

unreal slop 5 game

[gilded cosmos]

aw that sucks, but i thought bethesda games were supposed to just work

[teal sinew]

bugthesda + unrealslop5 is a losing combination

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08D6X2WH8/ worth getting

synthetic hairs on this

[ripe spire]

Why’s it so big and long, it wouldn’t fit where I need it to yesterday for the gpu fans

I didn’t take my gpu out to clean the fans, so I only had a less than 5cm gap to work with

[rigid fjord]

2" paintbrush, you could try for the 1" versions but the bristles/hairs might not reach deep enough

[ripe spire]

I used a q tip and that was perfect last night

The fans on my gpu aren’t that big

[rigid fjord]

the stiff bristle paintbrushes are meant to be used with oil based paints or varnishes

[ripe spire]

Do u have any recommendations for compressed air cans that have 0 chance of spraying liquid

[gilded cosmos]

doesnt exist unless you live in the middle of sahara

[solar moat]

a good air compressor
