[random junco]

oof indeed

[plush wren]

@south arrow bro has emojis for everything

[inland cove]

looking at 5070ti. Gigabyte Windforce SFF are below msrp. are they a good model?

[frigid blade]

guys what do i do, do i upgrade twice or wait for the nova lake 52 core cpus

[random junco]

too many do's in that message

[odd marsh]

upgrade to what

[random junco]

just generally...

[frigid blade]

From 13900kf to Ultra 9 2nd series and then up to nova lake later, or do I stay on the 13900kf and wait until 2026 for the Nova lake

[odd marsh]

wait

[alpine heron]

Do do what you do do bro

[odd marsh]

I use a 265K and I just recommend waiting

[true stirrup]

Model really doesn't matter unless you will be overclocking that GPU quite far

[supple flare]

ahhhhhh do I buy an xserve off marketplace for $45 cad

[cedar hollow]

buy what looks good to you for a fair price

[alpine heron]

Still browsing to find a 9800x3d for less than 570usd

[inland cove]

ill undervolt for sure to lower temps and power.
my current 1070 is Asus.

[alpine heron]

Figure paying $100 over MSRP isn't ideal

[inland cove]

I did get a 960 windforce oc but hardly used it.

[cedar hollow]

man this is so tempting

but no point in upgrading from my m3 pro yet

[frigid blade]

oh wait I can just stay on the 13900kf rn and get a used mobo that fits my needs

and then upgrade later to nova lake

i forgot that my cpu is more than enough

i was used to my old 11th gen something something

[elder quarry]

Eee hello Daniel

[frigid blade]

hola

[elder quarry]

Returning my hdd for a new free, how’s it going with the server

[alpine heron]

Any idea where I should look or should I just bite and pay the upcharge?

[azure topaz]

mhm

[frigid blade]

Ive decided to postpone upgrading the CPU until nova lake comes out

[azure topaz]

if you can copy my 13900ks's settings you also end up with a chip faster than at least anything non x3d by a lot

(5.7ghz pcore allcore for games and good ram tune)

[frigid blade]

so the build is gonna take 3 years now lol

[fresh escarp]

for some reason getting this again

[gleaming rose]

til some machines had 64bit as a toggleable option

[cedar hollow]

whut da hell 5080 laptops are $3000+

4090 laptops used to be cheaper than this

[dense mantle]

Update your phone

https://www.oligo.security/blog/airborne

As per CVE and Apple security updates, patched versions are:
iOS 18.4
iPadOS 18.4, 17.7.6
macOS 15.4, 14.7.5, 13.7.5
tvOS 18.4
visionOS 2.4

[latent gull]

Then buy one of those

[glacial tulip]

What do you do

[cedar hollow]

colegio

[cedar hollow]

those are used tho rn

[glacial tulip]

What’s that

[cedar hollow]

college

I guess there's this but still used

[glacial tulip]

Do you do comp si or engineering or smth like that

[latent gull]

4080s aren’t much off of 3k

[cedar hollow]

okay thats alienware which is known to be overpriced

also i got a 4080 alienware m16 r2 in excellent condition at bestbuy for $1400 not too long ago

[latent gull]

Much more reasonable

Idk the performance difference in 4070-80-90 mobiles tho

That 4070 actually ain’t a terrible deal

[cedar hollow]

basically think of it moving down a tier

[latent gull]

I’m aware of that

[cedar hollow]

4070 uses a 4060 Ti desktop chip

4080 is like a 4070 Super chip

4090 is a 4080 desktop chip

I think the 4080 mobile has more cuda cores than 4070 Super actually

yeah it does

[ripe lantern]

anyone know a good site to put all your specs and peripherals on, like pcpartpicker

[cedar hollow]

pcpartpicker

[south arrow]

[broken oar]

guys what is the intel core ultra 9 is it worst or better than i7s or i9s and is it good for gaming

[elder quarry]

pc building simulator 2

[south arrow]

Tbh i don't know much about the ultras everyone seems to avoid them but whyy

[ripe lantern]

any 2tb ssd recommendations?

[south arrow]

Price range?

[ripe lantern]

cheap and reasonable as possible

[broken oar]

yeah thats what im asking, im looking for a lptop

[ripe lantern]

I don't care much about loading speeds, care more about fps

[south arrow]

Kinda pricey for alot of E cores mayhaps?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6615943.p?skuId=6615943&sb_share_source=PDP but for $15 more can get a wd black sn7100

[alpine heron]

When would it make sense to pay an extra 10% to go from a 9800x3d to a 9950x3d?

[ripe lantern]

rarely

[alpine heron]

Or more like 7% extra really

[tidal geyser]

same cpu in games

[south arrow]

If you do algos, Ai or benchs

[alpine heron]

I do have stuff that is truly single threaded

And it looks like the 9950x3d can boost a bit higher so that's a bit appealing

[azure topaz]

meow

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-26470175

[elder quarry]

meow

[cedar hollow]

I disable the non vcache ccd in my 9950x3d and pbo the other ccd

[alpine heron]

So the 9950x3d would win for those single threaded moments. (Due to higher boost/ better binning) Be roughly comparable 90% of the rest of the day. And also win those brief highly threaded moments as well. Am I reading that right?

[tidal geyser]

why not just get a 9800X3D

[cedar hollow]

so i can pbo faster

[alpine heron]

Pbo?

[cedar hollow]

the vcache is clocked faster on the 9950x3d

[alpine heron]

Is that like a Pabst blue ribbon?

[cedar hollow]

yes

[plain cypress]

🤢

[alpine heron]

So what's the actual differences in that use case?

[cedar hollow]

more fps

[plain cypress]

PBR cooled pc

[alpine heron]

As what I'm looking at is a 9800x3d for $580, or a 9950x3d for $780

[cedar hollow]

that’s a lot of money for either

[plain cypress]

Don't pay $600 for a 9800x3d

[cedar hollow]

i wouldn’t pay more than 459 for a 98 or 699 for a 995

[alpine heron]

Yeah... But what's the alternative?

[bronze summit]

Watching a review since I'm bored

[cedar hollow]

buy them at normal prices

[bronze summit]

7800X3D for 350$

[alpine heron]

Cross my fingers and pray they become MSRP despite all the chaos?

[junior valve]

500$

[alpine heron]

Which is how much worse?

[cedar hollow]

did ryzen cpus suddenly surge in price or something

10-15%

[junior valve]

they can do whatever they want since theres no competition

[alpine heron]

Been looking the past week or so and they've not dipped closer to msrp

[cedar hollow]

intel asleep at the wheel

[alpine heron]

Although the 9900x3d is $600 for what that's worth

[cedar hollow]

the 990x3d is terrible

[plain cypress]

To be clear these prices are USD, not CAD?

[alpine heron]

These are usd

[plain cypress]

💀

[alpine heron]

9950x3d is 890usd on amazon right now btw

Goofy af

[cedar hollow]

microcenter my saving grace

[alpine heron]

Microcenter is in person only

[junior valve]

13900k is 200$ now

used

[alpine heron]

And how much worse?

[cedar hollow]

wow all the good x3d cpus are really out of stock rn

[junior valve]

about 20-30% in gaming, in productively it clears

[cedar hollow]

that’s insane wtf is happening

[plain cypress]

Panic buying

[cedar hollow]

why

[plain cypress]

Also companies may be delaying shipments while they figure out what is and isn't taxed

[plain cypress]

The US president

[junior valve]

@alpine heron the 13900k is 32% better in productivity while 10-30% worse in gaming

[cedar hollow]

trump already said computers and phone stuff won’t be tarrifed

[copper maple]

What's the best AI to go over a 500 page long pdf and summarize individual sections?

[elder quarry]

none

[cedar hollow]

Claude

[alpine heron]

That doesn't seem to be true though

[cedar hollow]

It is true

it’s been reported on extensively since last week

[junior valve]

hows the 4090 pricing in the us?

[alpine heron]

Ehhh. That's not what I'm seeing

[cedar hollow]

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/12/tech/trump-electronics-china-tariffs

[cedar hollow]

can get for $1800 or less

[junior valve]

the worst version?

[cedar hollow]

they aren’t available brand new from retail anymore

[robust trail]

noooooooo

I want to horde it all

[cedar hollow]

share with me :)

[alpine heron]

Bad reporting is bad.
Will have to see what the numbers are now but they're still major jumps

[cedar hollow]

What makes it bad? He literally signed the bill

[alpine heron]

Things are real wonky as there's multiple different tariffs and they're not being exempted from all of them only some

[cedar hollow]

It’s just the market being uninformed and retailers taking advantage of the situation to price gouge

[plain cypress]

1. We could be seeing the delays that happened when it was first announced and nobody knew what was happening
2. Uncertainty about what taxes may or may not be sticking could cause an importer to slow or hold off on shipments

[cedar hollow]

Fair enough

[alpine heron]

But anyway if there's 9800x3d or 9950x3d in stock for USA shipping at sane costs let me know

[cedar hollow]

My point is that surprisingly little people are aware of these exemptions

[alpine heron]

I'm browsing and hoping to find things

[plain cypress]

Also what he says on Twitter is not how stuff actually works at the ports
Everything has to be figured out and managed by organizations and customs, etc

[alpine heron]

I'm aware. They're not as exempt as you think though

[cedar hollow]

i got mine for 699 at microcenter at launch day

[cedar hollow]

yeah but this came from US customs themselves not twitter

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSCBP/bulletins/3db9e55

[alpine heron]

That's only part of the tarriffs

Not all of them

[plain cypress]

I'm just saying it's a complicated and slow moving process and you can't say "oh it's cancelled, quick box up 20,000 units throw it on a boat or plane and have it on shelves tomorrow"

[alpine heron]

Really doesn't help how rapidly things are changing either

[plain cypress]

Yeah the uncertainty about whether that exemption will still exist tomorrow isn't helping

[alpine heron]

Crapton of "lol jk" going on with them and them being in multiple steps and some steps are being exempted in some cases so it's super duper spotty

[cedar hollow]

i want chipotle

[spiral estuary]

9070xt with a ryzen 7 7700 at mostly 1080p for now, will the cpu cause major issues at like 200 ish fps? Or will it be alright

competitive titles

[cedar hollow]

it’ll be the limiting factor for sure

[inland cove]

i cant find anything really comparing different gpu brands. is gigagbyte windforce a good version? temps and sound wise.

[cedar hollow]

what gpu is it

[spiral estuary]

what would be the next step up that doesn't obliterate my bank account

[cedar hollow]

7800x3d

[spiral estuary]

yeah but like isn't thatl ike double the price

[cedar hollow]

they’re like 380 or smth

[inland cove]

ive asked a couple of times and everyone says "which ever is cheaper" but i dont mind paying 10 euro more if one is quieter and cooler.

[cedar hollow]

gigabyte is good

they’re all good you won’t notice a single difference

so yes just get whatever is cheaper

[inland cove]

my 1070 is Asus had 0 issues with it. i got a XFX 6700xt a few years ago but returned it, had nothing but issues with it.

are Gigabyte good for undervolting? thats something ill do right away.

[winter lantern]

So should I get an a620 bored then

[alpine heron]

Find reviews of that specific card?

[winter lantern]

Get whatever is cheaper fr

[cedar hollow]

everything is the same for undervolting

[cedar hollow]

sure if you want

nothing wrong with an A620

[winter lantern]

I thought cheap ment bad 😔

[cedar hollow]

doesn’t have to be

[winter lantern]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4777479

Is this a good bundle comes with 32gb ram and a 500gb ssd

All of that is less than a 7800x3d 💔

[inland cove]

hmm some of the 5070ti's have Doom included and some dont. maybe the site hasnt updated yet?

[alpine heron]

Alternatively how much of a difference does that 3d actually make?

I'm seeing a 9950x non 3d for 520usd

[magic basalt]

Crazy that u can get that for that price in the US

[winter lantern]

The ram is what makes it a great deal

[magic basalt]

Decent amount in 1080p comp titles such as csgo fort

It helps with better 1% lows and 0.01% lows

[spiral estuary]

what is one step down from the 7800x3d for a 9070xt?

[alpine heron]

Running a 1440p 170hz display

[alpine heron]

Non 3D version?

[magic basalt]

Prob not much of a difference then confirm it with yt benchmarks tho

[spiral estuary]

is it worthwhile though

[alpine heron]

I might still bite on the 9800x3d for $580

[junior valve]

14900k for half the price tho

[azure topaz]

bust

[winter lantern]

I found a 9800x3d for 500

[alpine heron]

I don't want to have to figure out Intel's e core p core crap

[azure topaz]

figure out?

bro you socket the cpu in 😭

[alpine heron]

Where?

[winter lantern]

Bro thinks this is a bad deal

[winter lantern]

Marketplace lol

[junior valve]

30% less gaming performance for 50% the cost

[azure topaz]

(and its faster in multicore)

(and in single threaded if it doesnt need cache)

[alpine heron]

If imma fuss with differing cores might as well grab a 9950x3d

[junior valve]

overall faster in productivity

[junior valve]

for triple the price?

[alpine heron]

Reminder that the CPU isn't the entire PC price

[true stirrup]

probably a scam or degraded cpu

[junior valve]

no, they go for that much

[alpine heron]

For the $500 9800x3d?

[frail topaz]

guys, i connected the ARGB cable from my gpu to my motherboard but i still cant control my GPU's RGB with ANY app (RX 9070XT Sapphire Nitro+) The fuck can i do?

[true stirrup]

they dropped in price that much?

[junior valve]

yes

[winter lantern]

How can it be a scam when it's in person and you can clearly tell what the product is

[junior valve]

lwk a good deal rn tbh

i got my 13900k for like 200

[true stirrup]

I wish the prices were like that here

[grizzled frost]

degraded CPU isn’t the easiest to test quickly

[alpine heron]

Any USA vendors y'all recommend I check for a 9800x3d or 9950x3d ?

[junior valve]

13900k is 1/3 the price of the 9800x3d while being 10-30% worse in gaming

[azure topaz]

(you can shorten the gap with real oc like ram and cpu)

[winter lantern]

It's packaging is sealed

[alpine heron]

Newegg, Amazon, bestbuy, Walmart, microcenter are the ones I'm aware of

[winter lantern]

Where do you live btw

Like state

[junior valve]

or just oc the cpu

6.5 ghz

that should do the job

[alpine heron]

Intel is not an option to me

[inland cove]

i dont understand some sites the 5070ti Gigabyte Windforce SFF has Doom included and some dont!

[alpine heron]

At this time*

[alpine heron]

Promos can differ by retailer

[azure topaz]

5.7 is pretty nice

[wispy tinsel]

Does anyone know what this noise might be #1367183260505084027 message

[junior valve]

its 6ghz stock

[azure topaz]

sure with 1 (maybe 2 cores

and extremely high voltage

5.7 would be 5.7 all core

[junior valve]

my 13900 is only 5.5

[azure topaz]

my ks is 6.0 for max boost

[junior valve]

8 cores

[azure topaz]

idk about all core probably 5.6

[junior valve]

does it bluescreen if you dont increase the voltage but only the ghz in intel xtu?

[azure topaz]

no because i have a good chip and i don’t use xtu or per core clocks

[turbid cairn]

I love me some hard drive platters

[azure topaz]

i run static 5.7 all core, soon going to do 5.9 when i can cool it

[junior valve]

mine bluescreen if i go 5.9 ghz with stock voltage

[azure topaz]

don’t use stock voltage

adjust mobo load line

[junior valve]

my cooler can barely keepup with 5.5 anyways

[azure topaz]

what’s load voltage for 5.5?

like max load, a real stress

[junior valve]

1.5

[azure topaz]

that is the vid sure but i guarantee its more like 1.2 something for vcore

find vrvout or vcore from the vrm in hwinfo

and read that under a high load

[junior valve]

it said around 1.2

[azure topaz]

sounds about right i gueds

your chip is definitely a little worse than mine

[junior valve]

i think its my cooler kneecapping it

[azure topaz]

i do 5.7 stable at 1.25v

[junior valve]

i traded my unstable 13600kf + 100$ for it

[azure topaz]

cheap

i got mine brand new for 380$

[junior valve]

does it come with a cooler?

[azure topaz]

the KS? no lol

[junior valve]

idk why my k does

[azure topaz]

KS has a special box so it definitely does not come with a cooler

[junior valve]

80c idle

[azure topaz]

absolutely terrible

[plush wren]

[charred kiln]

Damn that's a good mirror

[junior valve]

its worse than the older intel ts15a

[azure topaz]

it’s worse than the older x79 stock cooler

[junior valve]

the older one can cool 100w

[inland cove]

https://www.redcomputer.es/content/consigue-doom-the-dark-ages-con-tarjetas-graficas-nvidia-297#comprar
i click buy 5070ti and i cant see where to see the gpus. when i search them and find the Gigabyte 5070ti there is no note that the game is included. so strange.

[alpine heron]

Honestly how much of a hit is the 7800x3d? Just so I don't have to keep hunting around

[high lance]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Vlesnic/saved/WqG66h
can someone edit this part list to make it the best possible but the same cpu and gpu

[alpine heron]

Step 1. Actually find said CPU

As good luck with availability

[high lance]

already got it

[azure topaz]

UK has good pricing and availability on hardware

[high lance]

grabbed it for a good 600 bucks

[azure topaz]

yeah see

[alpine heron]

600 bucks is a good price for 9800x3d?

MSRP is 480?

[high lance]

oh

mb thoguht u said gpu

[azure topaz]

in today’s world yes that is fine

[azure topaz]

are you converting pound to usd for this? that’s not how msrp works

[winter lantern]

Yall think the gpu bottlenecks everyone in this build

[alpine heron]

480usd is MSRP isn't it?

[azure topaz]

msrp can be different per country and is very often not converted to be equal across currencies

[alpine heron]

I'm only looking at USD and very similar build so only talking usd

[azure topaz]

but yes. that’s a good price especially if you consider the whole build lol

[winter lantern]

Found one for 500$ usd I just aint driving 80 miles

[azure topaz]

uk msrp for the 9800x3d is 449 pounds

[gilded harness]

hey guys

[alpine heron]

Same. I'd just pay the $600 instead

[gilded harness]

is this glorious, beautifulness, a piece of art worth buying for $195

a 2080ti sorry forgot to specify

[lusty flame]

should i make the hop to AM5?

rocking a 5600x at the moment

[bronze summit]

Id cop personally

[gilded harness]

its so beautiful

god i have bad taste but i love it so much

[turbid cairn]

i know right

[junior valve]

why is it plastic

[charred kiln]

EVGA 🥺

[swift tapir]

what would happen if i put my old gtx 1650 in my pc with a 3060?

[elder quarry]

do not recommend, but not much

[swift tapir]

OKE

[true stirrup]

You would have a pc with 2 GPUs

[azure topaz]

it’s certainly a graphics card

it’s not the ftw3 ultra model so i don’t care

does that one even have a backplate

[gloomy sleet]

no

that build is fine

[winter lantern]

So is it worth it

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[frail topaz]

bump

[gloomy sleet]

4080 super alone is like $800

even more actually

[winter lantern]

Theyre like 1200

Idk how much theyre are ngl

[gloomy sleet]

nah

msrp is $1000

[winter lantern]

Nobody sells 4080 supers

[gloomy sleet]

obviously

[winter lantern]

Cause it's good

No need to upgrade

[gloomy sleet]

anyway that build is good for $1500

that’s probably how much it is to build new

[wet ember]

can someone explain why youtube videos have been buffering like this? video contains an internet speed test as well

[winter lantern]

It has a 7 year old mb in it so i thought that was a bad thing

[gloomy sleet]

no

if it works it’s fine

[elder quarry]

If it works it works, b450is decent

[gloomy sleet]

all a motherboard does is hold your shit together(i know it does other small shit but shut up nerd)

[winter lantern]

Whats a bad mb then

[gloomy sleet]

for am4 any motherboard is good

[azure topaz]

one without the features you need or is not as described

[wet ember]

not even a windows 10 problem. i've been experiencing this on my macbook as well

[gloomy sleet]

they all work perfectly fine

[elder quarry]

A broken mobo*(!!!!) and floppa

[azure topaz]

no vrm heatsink,etc

[wet ember]

who else's youtube has been loading videos slowly after clicking on a video?

[azure topaz]

bad boards are very clear that they are bad

[winter lantern]

Are a620s bad
They're really cheap so id assume so

[gloomy sleet]

it wanted you to keep watching the f1 vid

[azure topaz]

don’t buy the cheapest brand new board and you will end up with something decent

[elder quarry]

Price is not perd

[gloomy sleet]

no they work perfectly fine

[wet ember]

no but actually why

[gloomy sleet]

i have literally no clue

[azure topaz]

imo they’re bad because b650 or b850 exists

[wet ember]

youtube is so ass nowadays

[azure topaz]

buy a used b650 board that’s mid high end for the price of an a620 board

[gloomy sleet]

am5 cpus don’t need 14900k standard vrms

[gloomy sleet]

i just yt-mp4 every video

[azure topaz]

but pcie5, real ssd spaces, etc

[gloomy sleet]

all of those are features that you either don’t need (pcie gen 5 is useless outside of 10 billion mbps ssds) or are quite easy to get around (just get a m.2 expansion card)

does 5000 series even use pcie gen 5?

[azure topaz]

that m.2 expansion card may not get the required amount of lanes

[gloomy sleet]

even if it does it doesn’t matter

[gloomy sleet]

if it gets x4 lanes it’s fine

[azure topaz]

isn’t a620 am5? 😭

[azure topaz]

for one single extra ssd

[gloomy sleet]

or even if it gets x1 lanes pcie gen 4 x1 is fast enough for most people

[gloomy sleet]

4 slot m.2 expansion

each ssd gets 1 lane of pcie 4

[gloomy sleet]

no i meant the gpus

[azure topaz]

oh my fault i’m pretty sure all modern gpus are pcie5

[gloomy sleet]

for gpus pcie gen 1 is a minimal performance difference over pcie gen 4

[azure topaz]

(rx 9000, rtx 5000)

[azure topaz]

yes, but may as well for 10-15$ extra dollars

[gloomy sleet]

someone tested it it’s like a 3% difference

form gen 1 to gen 4

[azure topaz]

gen1 absolutely not maybe gen3 lol

gen1 pcie is very very slow

[azure topaz]

i say gen3 cause it’s existed since ivy bridge

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

https://youtu.be/YXYLO60TMag?si=J-qRtr6lpnUAzAHa

absolutely minimal difference from gen 4 to gen 1

lowering the lanes is the issue

fuck gta 6 this is the game i’m hyped for this year https://youtu.be/rWfKaUFUeeE?si=hlKuZv3Q9lGTNDEX

someone releasing an actually good looking game and not a hyper realistic 30fps on 5090 game in 2025????

[frail topaz]

@peak knot SignalRGB Man - Does SignalRGB still not have support for Nitro Glow?

[winter lantern]

Play this with keyboard and mouse

[gloomy sleet]

i would

seems like a game best played on controller over a wheel

[winter lantern]

I thought racing is bad with keyboard and mouse

[gloomy sleet]

art of rally chase camera goes hard though

[gloomy sleet]

it’s doable

[azure topaz]

track mania isn’t

[winter lantern]

Sim racing setups look so stupid ngl just use a controller 🥀

[winter lantern]

I love tapping the w key to slow down

[gloomy sleet]

most games that take physics seriously don’t allow keyboard as a viable option

[azure topaz]

it’s like meta to play with kbm in track mania

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

sim racing setups are infinitely better then controller ong

[inland cove]

no note of a game included but on another site it is. front page of the store they both have the same promotion. any 5070, 70ti, 80, 90 includes the game. are these sites just late to update?

[azure topaz]

yes

just annoying to keep setup

[gloomy sleet]

i gained 2 seconds on my lap times switching to wheel

[azure topaz]

my wheel would get a lot more use if i could leave it setup indefinitely

but i can’t

[gloomy sleet]

nah i just take my wheel off the base

[azure topaz]

g923 makes that all harder

[alpine heron]

Different sites have different promos... If it's not mentioned you don't get it

[inland cove]

i clicked through nvidias website. just strange. assumed maybe it was late to update. thank you.

[winter lantern]

Is a 3090ti a good card for gaming or no

[azure topaz]

yes

it’s about as fast as a 3090ti

[winter lantern]

Cant argue with that

[azure topaz]

anything faster than a 3080 and has more vram is going to handle modern games very good

[azure topaz]

literally this is what a 7800xt is

more vram than a 3080 and about as fast

[frigid blade]

I can’t figure out if the PNY 4090 is 3 or 4 slot

[gloomy sleet]

damn unlucky ass

[frigid blade]

On my motherboard it looks like it’s 3, but someone told me it was 4

[azure topaz]

i think it’s 4 physically but with a 3 slot bracket

[azure topaz]

i got it for a good deal so i’m not mad but it’s pretty difficult

[gloomy sleet]

guess how much this metal box cost

[azure topaz]

to keep setup

[gloomy sleet]

how much

[azure topaz]

100$ for everything

[gloomy sleet]

i’d say get a folding wheel stand

[gloomy sleet]

with a shifter or?

[azure topaz]

still had plastic on it

[gloomy sleet]

nice

[azure topaz]

no but the oem shifter is shit anyways

[frigid blade]

Is that 4?

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

i’d recommend a SHH shifter if you really want one

[gloomy sleet]

(£70)

[azure topaz]

i’ll get a shitty aliexpress usb one and be happy

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[azure topaz]

still cheaper than the g923 oem shifter and half the price

still better*

[gloomy sleet]

the metal box shifter is a stable of the cheap as fuck sim racer

[frigid blade]

Oh wait lmao I paid $2,150 for the 13900kf + 4090 that’s kinda crazy I was looking through my eBay (before taxes)

[winter lantern]

Well id hope a gpu that's was 2000$ three years ago still holds up

[azure topaz]

the 3080 was like 1000$

[gloomy sleet]

i honesty feel a decent wheel is 1000x better then a controller

[winter lantern]

I ment 3090ti

[azure topaz]

and had an 800$ msrp

[azure topaz]

oh oh i see lol duh

[winter lantern]

Cause i found it for 600

[azure topaz]

i think the 50 series is 4 slots but 40 series is 3 slots

[gloomy sleet]

one of those no ffb wheels definitely not but any wheel with ffb just makes it so much easier to learn how to drive

[azure topaz]

yeah

[frigid blade]

Ok so I should be good with a 3 slot board?

[azure topaz]

think so

looks like it’s a 3 slot in the photo

[bronze summit]

Fuck I don't know...

Why is the previous MSI I bought a while back expensive now

[gloomy sleet]

main advantage is i can scratch my nose while driving

[azure topaz]

i like that you can completely click out of assetto corsa and use the wheel

distracted driving practice

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz does chipset matter for ram OC?

[azure topaz]

kinda

[bronze summit]

I like Assetto Corsa

[wispy tinsel]

Can someone help me with this #1367183260505084027 message

[azure topaz]

a z690 board will not oc good on ram

[frigid blade]

There’s this Z690 I’m eyeing

[bronze summit]

It's the only game where it shows how I suck at driving

[frigid blade]

Ah lol

[bronze summit]

Like Richard Burns Rally? I'm goated

[azure topaz]

unless it’s a dark or something

[bronze summit]

Beam NG? I'm goated

[inland cove]

50 series prices have been coming down, how much more do you guys think they will?

[gloomy sleet]

show that shit

[bronze summit]

But as soon as I hop in Mount Haruna I just suck ass

[jolly forge]

i uninstalled my old drivers now my new drivers arent detecting my gpu

[gloomy sleet]

but are you this good

setup has a 0% brake on the front brakes and 100% brake on the rear brakes

[bronze summit]

I'm average, but I do want to head to Newfoundland to do their Tarmac Rally someday

[graceful girder]

das a lotta money for returns not accepted

[frigid blade]

If it came not as described I still get a return/refund

[frail topaz]

holyt shit

[graceful girder]

aight

psu?

[frigid blade]

No clue what’s in it never checked

[graceful girder]

u have a 9070 xt? i thought u was poor

[gloomy sleet]

nah fuck tarmac 35km gravel better

[gloomy sleet]

that’s why he’s poor

[graceful girder]

😦

[frail topaz]

now i am lol

[graceful girder]

Africa be like:

[candid bolt]

Does anyone know why my new pc is so slow??

[graceful girder]

proceeds to provide no information

[candid bolt]

Its a 3060 ti with a amd ryzdn 5700G

It has no excuse to be so slow

Fr 3dmark wont even open

[graceful girder]

when did it start

[bronze summit]

Hey don't diss.Newfoundland Rally

[upper abyss]

@rigid fjord are you here 😭

[candid bolt]

I dont have a case yet so excuse the setup

[candid bolt]

When i buildt it, like rn

does it have any merit for going for the rs?

[graceful girder]

@tidal geyser

[candid bolt]

My other pc died today, so build this, but its insanely slow, even slower then my i7 6800k!!!

Fr no things fr want tl open

[jolly forge]

guys i need help i uninstalled my old drivers and now my new drivers arent installing and it isnt detecting my nvidia gpu what should i do? 😥

and my wallpaper is running slow and videos are choppy and having a hard time to load some fps

[candid bolt]

Idfk what to do😭

[jolly forge]

welp im cooked

[candid bolt]

The cpu was used, pins are fine

[jolly forge]

not for long tho

[ripe spire]

so chat we're all about cooling PC's, how do i cool a room? UK doesnt have air conditioning

[candid bolt]

Windows

[ripe spire]

doesnt work throughout the day as its hot outside

[gloomy sleet]

no ac

i’ve never been in a building with ac in my life

[ripe spire]

also i have some pretty intense hayfever, opening the windows pretty much kills me off

[ripe spire]

i have, they're called hotels in other countries

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve never been in a hotel with one

[ripe spire]

really?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[bronze summit]

You're in the UK just go to Shitfield or something

[gloomy sleet]

real

[ripe spire]

wtf does this mean

[swift moss]

Hold on how does the client get the blue key if it's sent with a red encryption? The user never has the red key because it's encrypted with the yellow one?

[gloomy sleet]

go to birmingham

[bronze summit]

No Birmingham will just get you lead poisoning

[gloomy sleet]

i have no idea

[gloomy sleet]

that’s the point

i’m trying to heavy metal poison them

[bronze summit]

An average Portable AC Unit is 200$ in America

[ripe spire]

this is a somewhat small room im trying to cool a portable ac unit would take up a MASSIVE amount of space in the room

[bronze summit]

When I was in Asia we had a bolt on ac unit, the window kind

[gloomy sleet]

fan

big fan

[strange atlas]

When i set my fan curve to max i get these temps othervise its 90 celcius fully and 110 celcius on the default curve

But there is unbearable fan noise when i set this curve

[livid mason]

I know the debate on computers sitting on the floor is very controversial but what if my PC is on a hardwood floor?

[frigid blade]

My pc sits on hardwood floor with 2 books to add some height

[strange atlas]

mine is on the very fringed carpet

[ripe spire]

i kinda feel like it gets to a point tho where a fan will just blow hot air around

[thin plover]

freeze a bottle of water and put it in front of the fan

[gloomy sleet]

pour ice into the fan

[rigid fjord]

i was going to suggest this

[thin plover]

got the idea from u

[ripe spire]

does that actually work tho? ive tried a bowl of icy water in front of a fan and it did nothing

[rigid fjord]

a bottle of ice will work

[ripe spire]

how is that different to a bowl of ice

[rigid fjord]

no, this be dumb

[rigid fjord]

with a bottle of ice it's a smaller area that the air is being pushed over making it a more concentrated flow of cool air

500ml bottles are ideal for it

[ripe spire]

alr thx ill try it

[bronze summit]

Rocko

[rigid fjord]

you don't have a 3d printer do you?

[upper abyss]

rauko are you proud of me i actually learned something from you

[ripe spire]

i do actually

[rigid fjord]

yup. and it saved you a ton of money

[bronze summit]

156 mobo

[rigid fjord]

you could 3d print yourself an equivalent of a radiator that you can use water in and be able to handle freezing so it's constantly reusable

[ripe spire]

like, 3d print a funnel? idk what u mean? 😭

[bronze summit]

Do you have a budget AM5 wifi Mobo recommendation

[rigid fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FTPxQaP-S0 like so

[alpine heron]

CPU located/purchased. Final part to order. Cooler. Peerless assassin should fit right? (Fractal design focus MINI g) 140https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-Assassin-140-Black/dp/B0DB8NV5XX/

[rigid fjord]

asrock pro-rs/asrock pro-a

[bronze summit]

No it's way too big

[rigid fjord]

you can get them in matx format

[alpine heron]

Are you saying the cooler won't fit?

[bronze summit]

Yes its way too big obviously

[alpine heron]

Is it obvious? Says 158mm. The case says 164mm coolers fit

[rigid fjord]

grab the 120mm version

[alpine heron]

Not sure how much I need to skim off these sorts things for reality vs spec sheet tho

[rigid fjord]

take away 10mm due to standoff and mobo thickness

[random gyro]

am i in the wrong here

[odd marsh]

need more context

[random gyro]

dude with shit pc complaining minecraft shaders r crashing because of linux

[bronze summit]

I5-2400 in the big 25

I get that Linux can revive old obsolete CPUs but man

[bronze summit]

What version?

[odd marsh]

I am inclined to say you are not in the wrong

Def needs something better than a i5-2400

[ripe spire]

wouldnt that cool a pc not a human

[rigid fjord]

tbf, minecraft itself is cpu bound, so yeah

[bronze summit]

I'm talking about the Minecraft but I'll check this as well

[random gyro]

oh

i assume the latest

[odd marsh]

yeah it's also a gpu from 2012

[shrewd depot]

My i3 CPU can't handle Oblivion Remastered 🥀💔

[rigid fjord]

it would cool a human as well, you can use the design and mod it

[true stirrup]

Yeah that thing will definitely not run shaders

[bronze summit]

Just play oblivion you're not getting any thing new

[dense oasis]

i am deep fried

[random gyro]

grass is green

[gloomy sleet]

ive been working on my server for 4 hours now

[random gyro]

1 month 🥹

[alpine heron]

Snagged this one. Should be good to go to build it next week

[gloomy sleet]

i just pirated it

i already bought oblivion of twice

[true stirrup]

So close

[alpine heron]

Thank y'all for the assistance and input as I got this cobbled together

[bronze summit]

Elden Jing

[random gyro]

ur welcome

[shrewd depot]

I've played it before, it doesn't hurt to play with different graphics that is if my CPU would allow it 😭

[alpine heron]

Gonna slap mint on it and give it a whirl. See if truly dailying mint will work or if I'll have to get another windows license

[rigid fjord]

@ripe spire tbf you could modify the design of this if you wantes and scale it up enough so you can have it act like a radiator would but instead be able to freeze the liquid inside

[ripe spire]

thats certainly an interesting idea

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-27111796

[bronze summit]

Try the mod one

[rigid fjord]

if it was me, i'd be looking at a hot air gun and some 10mm pvc/ptfe pipe, pus 2 end caps and glue specific for it

[bronze summit]

I'll check the thing you recommended

Although idk about the Sata stuff

[rigid fjord]

basically heat the pipe to make bends like this then add the caps and some water @ripe spire

[ripe spire]

This is a lotta engineering man my room is just too hot 😭

[rigid fjord]

discussing redneck ac the cheap way

[rigid fjord]

my room which has no airflow even with windows open, maintains a 23c daily

[alpine heron]

Junk yard radiators might be the better route

[bronze summit]

I want to go to the UK for one thing

[rigid fjord]

mini fridge tbh

[bronze summit]

I want to try those shit food slops and "genuine" fish and chips

[rigid fjord]

avoid tourist cities then

[bronze summit]

I'm planning to go up north

[alpine heron]

Honestly yeah. Abuse a mini fridge

[rigid fjord]

easiest way to mockup one

[graceful girder]

I just wanna sleep😭

maybe i should just leave, pick it up in the morning

[gleaming rose]

install linux

then you wont have to deal with shit transfer speeds

[alpine heron]

Not all of us can waste our time yelling at our PC. We have real work to do with real programs that run on real computers

(If you can't tell there's a heavy dose of sarcasm there)

[gleaming rose]

ok good

[alpine heron]

I'm in this photo and I don't like it

[rancid fox]

one thing tho about the bios upgrade
should i go with the newest F15 that is recommended for the KS version ? Because on the gigabyte site it says that the i9-14900k goes with the F11

[azure topaz]

true

[azure topaz]

newest, yeah

[rancid fox]

so the f15 it is

[azure topaz]

mhm

[mellow cairn]

Skill issue

[azure topaz]

plus one

[tidal geyser]

how, it beats a i9

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-old-man-angry-rage-gif-14817966

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz ok I seriously need to find something soon, does this look good? Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX

We are installing the cameras soon

[azure topaz]

should be good yeah

[frigid blade]

I think it should at least do what I have now

[azure topaz]

if you can find z790 pro x those are good as well

[azure topaz]

people seem to do 8k on them so

[tidal geyser]

why not just get a NVR

[azure topaz]

nova lake refresh?

[tidal geyser]

NLR

[frigid blade]

Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X?

[azure topaz]

mhm

[frigid blade]

That’s within budget new

I’ll go with it

[azure topaz]

with the fancy lookin x on it

[frigid blade]

The one I’m looking at is black but yah

[bronze summit]

It's done @rigid fjord

[gloomy sleet]

i wonder if you can rent a 3d printer i have so many things i need to whip up and i just don’t have the means to make it

[azure topaz]

kay slay

[frigid blade]

I just want everything together

[azure topaz]

PCBway will print for you relatively cheaply

[gloomy sleet]

they do stuff other then pcbs?

[rigid fjord]

it's a cheap yet decent board

[frigid blade]

The cameras we’re setting up have an app where you can point to save the video so I prefer that over monitoring an NVR

[azure topaz]

yessir

resin printing, metal printing, pretty sick

[gloomy sleet]

damn

[bronze summit]

Problem is case won't be here till later

But I'm thinking of doing a test bench like Mobo on top of the box type stuff to see if it'll work properly

[rigid fjord]

you can, you can also just send a 3d print design to places and they'll print it for you

[iron glen]

hi rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[iron glen]

do you know how much the cheaper chromebook models are? or does it depend on where im buying it from

[rigid fjord]

depends on the retailer tbh, but they're usually around 200 ish

[iron glen]

dang, arent there better options for that price?

[gloomy sleet]

how expensive is that though i wonder

like all i really need is one 3d printed tiny item

[azure topaz]

you can find used chromebooks for very very cheap by the dozen

[rigid fjord]

there's some cheap and some dearer than that, though you could look at secondhand laptops still instead

[gloomy sleet]

not enough of them to warrant buying a £100+ 3d printer but enough for it to matter

[alpine heron]

You also might be able to find a maker space or library with one

[rigid fjord]

google the fuck out of it

[iron glen]

ig, im only asking cuz im wondering why most schools(here atleast) opt to use chromebooks instead of thinkpads or something

[gloomy sleet]

libraries in england barely have enough money to have books in them

[rigid fjord]

cheap, effective and easily set up for security protocols

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t think they can get a 3d printer

[iron glen]

ah

[gloomy sleet]

most of them i see just use windows pcs locked down as much as they can

[rigid fjord]

they could but prints are easily 20+ minutes

[alpine heron]

Same for the US. But they have computers and stuff

[iron glen]

the only thing i don't like about them are the keyboard layouts, nobody is used to pressing alt gr + 2 to write their gmail

[gloomy sleet]

or let students bring laptops in but they have to install spyware on the laptops to use them

[gloomy sleet]

we don’t even have computers in most of ours

to print stuff they give you a 8gb usb drive and you put your shit you wanna print on it and give it to the mfs in the back

[lilac trellis]

how do i uninstall windows defender its lagging the shit out of my pc and i want it gone (also suggest a good antivirus at the same time ig)

[gloomy sleet]

you don’t

you can but you should not

[alpine heron]

Windows defender is the lightest AV you have available

So likely misdiagnosing things a bit if you're blaming it for your system lagging

[azure topaz]

windows defender uses a bigger and or the same database as any other av

[gloomy sleet]

definitely bigger

[azure topaz]

please use defender and do not uninstall it or purchase a different brand

[thorn pewter]

Prob the best free one, never need anything else imo

[bronze summit]

Have you guys done that before btw?

[alpine heron]

The best free one is windows defender

[lilac trellis]

i think im just going to

make my next pc linux

[gloomy sleet]

don’t uninstall defender

[gloomy sleet]

not recommended for gaming

for me linux doesn’t work for the games i play

[thorn pewter]

Win defender is the best av ever.

[azure topaz]

i use linux for the things linux is good at

like most things

just not my main gaming desktop

[gloomy sleet]

anything but gaming really

[gleaming rose]

i use linux for everything including gaming

[rose stream]

Which of course are just ones that have a very specific way of working that just won't work anywhere else.

[alpine heron]

I think the plan for me is capture card to my windows machine so I can still use the handful of windows apps and games I want

[azure topaz]

i could vortualize windows on linux to game

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[alpine heron]

Kinda goofy but yolo swag it

[azure topaz]

bjt that’s a lot of
work for ultimately a slower computer experience

[gleaming rose]

all my games work flawlessly on linux

[gloomy sleet]

modding games on windows is hard enough adding the layer of linux on top just makes it more annoying

[azure topaz]

mine don’t

[gleaming rose]

doing it on linux is just as easy

[alpine heron]

I can play cod on linux

[gleaming rose]

which

[gloomy sleet]

no it isn’t

richard burns rally just straight up doesn’t work on linux

[gleaming rose]

yeah it is

[azure topaz]

[thorn pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[gloomy sleet]

please show me how to play RBR on linux

[alpine heron]

Ricochet anti cheat doesn't work on Linux so you cant play cod

[gloomy sleet]

all RSS mods on assetto corsa don’t work on linux

[gleaming rose]

https://www.reddit.com/r/simrally/s/g9jZGGjmLR

[gloomy sleet]

half the stuff doesn’t work on linux

[gleaming rose]

no they literally do wtf

[gloomy sleet]

this is outdated

[bronze summit]

Have you guys done the mobo thing? The test bench mobo stuff?

[thorn pewter]

Sure

[gleaming rose]

so is RBR

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

[gleaming rose]

i cant name a single game i want to play that doesnt work

[azure topaz]

what

[gloomy sleet]

RBR is still the pinnacle of rally simulation

in the last 21 years no one has made a rally game that has come close to being as good as RBR in terms of driving experience

[azure topaz]

until you go on asphalt

[thorn pewter]

Name them ALL

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

[lilac trellis]

okay well

[bronze summit]

Like when you want to test CPU/GPU, so you put the Mobo on top of the Mobo box and stuff

[lilac trellis]

when i get a new pc ig ill just get windows

[gloomy sleet]

asphalt on rbr is great

[azure topaz]

i just have an actual test bed

[lilac trellis]

but for my old pc if it still works ill just switch it to linux

[gleaming rose]

REPO, DayZ, Minecraft, and Lethal Company are the only ones ive played recently, windows or Linux (even when i still had windows)
occasionally ill play The Finals too

[lilac trellis]

idrk what i would use it for

[gloomy sleet]

i only play like 3 games and none of them work on linux

[thorn pewter]

You do you ig

[gleaming rose]

wdym you do you

i just proved you wrong

[gloomy sleet]

that’s a lie i play 4 games and 3 of them don’t work

[gleaming rose]

lutris has an install script for RBR

tried that?

[gloomy sleet]

that doesn’t work

it doesn’t use RSF so even if it did work it wouldn’t be worth it

[hexed tapir]

All the GTA games work on the steam deck

[gloomy sleet]

you would have an inferior experience

gta5 enhanced works on linux?

[azure topaz]

“i can’t figure out how to do this”

did you read the documentation
“i did and it says nothing”
read it again

linux experience

[gloomy sleet]

ok well 2 of the 4 games i play regularly don’t work on linux properly

[gleaming rose]

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6702

[hexed tapir]

Haven't tried that

[gleaming rose]

all the gtas work on linux

[gloomy sleet]

this is a completely different plugin that’s incompatible with all other plugins

so even if it does work it wouldn’t be worth the effort

[thorn pewter]

Not really, still gaming on lunix is still ass

[gleaming rose]

examples that dont include games with shit anticheats?

[azure topaz]

that’s not the point lol

[gloomy sleet]

for my extremely specific circumstances linux doesn’t really work

[azure topaz]

the point is that it doesn’t work and that’s all that matters

[gleaming rose]

honestly im sure it could work with the right steps
if you actually bothered to try and make it work you could help other people too

[gloomy sleet]

i have tried

[gleaming rose]

from what ive seen it doesnt work because the programming of the game is shit

[azure topaz]

yeah but bro just wants to play game

[gloomy sleet]

CM doesn’t work on assetto corsa

[azure topaz]

he doesn’t want to fix it he wants to play

[gloomy sleet]

yes

that’s literally why it doesn’t work

it does work on windows and everyone accepts that fact with 0 issue

[gleaming rose]

complain to the devs for being incompetent then

[azure topaz]

yeah and i don’t blame linux for it but it still doesn’t work and in the end thats what matters to an end user

[thorn pewter]

And in the rare circumstances that dose it’s only a few and even then it’s a meh experience

[gleaming rose]

dont blame linux for every issue ever

[gloomy sleet]

the company who made the game doesn’t exist anymore

[hexed tapir]

Just use both windows and Linux 🤯

[frigid blade]

Nah blame Linux

[gloomy sleet]

linux + incompatible code doesn’t work

i’m not blaming linux i’m just saying it doesn’t work for me

for my laptop linux is fucking fire

[gleaming rose]

its not incompatible code its shit code that wine cant even decipher

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[azure topaz]

but no workie

[gleaming rose]

i haven't had a single compatibility issue

[gloomy sleet]

that shit code is the basis of the best rally sim so i guess i use windows

[gleaming rose]

its like 20 years old wtf

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

it’s still better then every other rally sim

[thorn pewter]

And???

[gleaming rose]

even the whole entire fucking adobe suite works on linux just fine

[hexed tapir]

Mario kart Works on Linux

[gloomy sleet]

there’s a reason irl rally drivers use it to train

[gleaming rose]

and adobe doesnt write great code

[hexed tapir]

They are too broke to buy newer games and more powerful computers

[gloomy sleet]

and not just the absolute dopamine hit that comes from completing a stage

[rigid fjord]

you dont' as windows defender is a good antivirus, your issue is either not enough ram/ a poor cpu or a ton of crap from start up

[gloomy sleet]

completing a single stage in RBR is the same satisfaction as winning an entire championship in any other rally game

[gleaming rose]

send me a link to the game
depending on how much it costs i may try to fix it

[azure topaz]

free

[gloomy sleet]

it’s free

[gleaming rose]

send a steam link

it’s abandonware bro. the company doesn’t exist to stop you from pirating

[hexed tapir]

Upgrade from your 2 core 2 thread cpu

[azure topaz]

you cannot buy it

[gleaming rose]

yeah honestly i cba if its that old

[gloomy sleet]

it’s not on steam

[frigid blade]

Windows Defender is just fine as an AV

[gloomy sleet]

i care

i care about making rbr work more then i care about whatever slop ea is pumping out in the wrc series

[gleaming rose]

what's the game's name again

[frigid blade]

Also windows doesn’t like it when you try to disable defender

[azure topaz]

richard burns rally

[gloomy sleet]

(this is why i’ve made 3 welsh rally co driver packs)

[azure topaz]

the things he’s saying are not untrue

rbr is by far the best dirt sim

[gloomy sleet]

even tarmac

it has its issues but it’s still at its core the best rally sim

[rose stream]

Sooo question: what does RBR stand for exactly?

[azure topaz]

richard burns rally

[gloomy sleet]

only bad thing i can really say about it is the old graphics but i honestly don’t care about that

it game is good i don’t care about the ps2 graphics

it could look like it runs on the atari 1600 for all i care

[thorn cove]

is it a ram issue if my video lags while I play games?

[gleaming rose]

no wtf

[azure topaz]

if your video lags? like a side chrome tab? that’s probably cpu

[gloomy sleet]

hold on

[rigid fjord]

really bad rubbish

[gleaming rose]

https://gist.github.com/kevenwyld/17e45c8db5da9ead1c02cb1bee685a41
vaux have you seen this?

[gloomy sleet]

how much ram you got

[frigid blade]

wtf why are people selling used Aorus Pro X’s for $700 when you can get it for $240 on Amazon

[gloomy sleet]

doesn’t work with the newest version

[thorn cove]

16 gigs, but it would make sense if it was cpu, monster hunter drinks my cpu usage

[azure topaz]

stupid bitches

[rose stream]

Hrrmm...

[gleaming rose]

fym newest version it's 20 years old and the company is extinct

[gloomy sleet]

it’s fine for my work laptop on keyboard but it doesn’t work for the newest RSF version

[rose stream]

Naww, that's OG Xbox graphics to me.

[frigid blade]

That’s so dumb lol

[azure topaz]

yeah a little better than the ps2

[frigid blade]

Any reason not to buy a used mobo? I’ve never had a mobo die on me in general

[gloomy sleet]

RSF updated it 9 days ago

[azure topaz]

not really? inspect it properly before buying and make sure you get buyer protection (ebay included this)

[gloomy sleet]

like mf

[azure topaz]

my used board was not as described but ultimately okay

[gleaming rose]

i literally have no clue what this is

[gloomy sleet]

it runs in the old V3 torrent

so it’s about a year out of date

that isn’t much of an issue for the single player tbf

[frigid blade]

I’m trying to figure out if Amazon $10 cheaper, or eBay with its buyer protection is the way to go

[rigid fjord]

not if you check them properly

[gleaming rose]

https://www.reddit.com/r/simrally/comments/1e4988l/richard_burns_rally_rsf_version_steam_deck/
this worked 1 month ago

[azure topaz]

probably amazon just for warranty

[gloomy sleet]

it works it’s just not on the newest version

[gloomy sleet]

this is on the V3 torrent too

so like a year out of date

[frigid blade]

I could get it for $200 if it’s used - acceptable

[gloomy sleet]

it does work just not the online mode

[rose stream]

It apparently released on both at once back in 2004. In other words, then both are basically indiscernible by design, unless they were willing to push the limit in effort to optimize as much as possible for both platforms.

[gleaming rose]

oh no a 1yo out of date mod version on a 20 year old game

[gloomy sleet]

yes

that’s an issue since you can’t do any online rally’s

and you can’t use modern plugins

no RBRhud for you lil bro

[gleaming rose]

well i would recommend complaining to the devs honestly

[gloomy sleet]

what devs

[gleaming rose]

not your bro

[gleaming rose]

the people making the RSF mod

[gloomy sleet]

there’s like 2 people updating rsf

[gleaming rose]

it's not anything to do with linux's fault they write shit code

[gloomy sleet]

they can’t do much

[gleaming rose]

since RBR works

[gloomy sleet]

it’s mainly the workerbee plugins

(which are most of the good plugins)

i guess if you disable all plugins and use the latest installer you’d have the newest cars and tracks

but it wouldn’t be worth the effort imo

[gloomy sleet]

i do concede it does work

just not the newest version

and i have actually told workerbee about the issues with linux

[gleaming rose]

i may soup a roll of film soon

i develop my own and ive been wanting to try it

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gBWsxg why is windows defender lagging my pc plz help

[tired bear]

Linux time

[thorn pewter]

Ew

[tired bear]

Hardware is not supported for win 11 anyway

[gleaming rose]

tw: linux

havent used windows in at least a year except in a vm

[rose stream]

What's that desktop btw?

[gleaming rose]

gnome

shit devs, solid and pretty DE

[low sage]

purgatory

[rose stream]

That looks incredible.

[gleaming rose]

it's very nice

arch btw

[rose stream]

Soooo MidnightBSD then, okay. Lol.

[gleaming rose]

i really enjoy gnome, would be better if the devs didnt ignore standards frequently

[frigid blade]

What was the issue with the mp44q?

[gleaming rose]

you can do something similar in kde too though

[frigid blade]

I saw that it’s faster, but why? Is there a drawback to it?

[hexed tapir]

no this is purgatory

[rose stream]

(I'm joking btw. I've never been able to get into the BSD stuff much personally and I was intimidated by GhostBSD unironically too.)

[frigid blade]

Ah QLC

[low sage]

https://tenor.com/view/azryde-tweaking-crashout-sol-gif-1614579311408391337

[gleaming rose]

BSDs were never intended for desktop use

they can be used for that purpose but linux is more suited

[rose stream]

Indeed, though it's interesting to know some do it anyway.

[gleaming rose]

(frankly i think linux is more suitable for desktop use than windows is)

[gloomy sleet]

idk why linux doesn’t work with rss mods

there’s no reason why they don’t

[gleaming rose]

the problem is that rss mods dont work with linux probably

[rose stream]

It's even a bit surprising that OpenBSD has a gaming community of their own.

[gloomy sleet]

yeah but every other modded car i’ve tried works fine

[rose stream]

Or something of a sort anyway.

[gloomy sleet]

rss just develops mod shit

[gleaming rose]

you can potentially make an issue on the wine or proton issue tracker but it's probably an issue with the developers of the mods

[gloomy sleet]

that’s why i pirate all their stuff

[gleaming rose]

openbsd rofl

[gloomy sleet]

it’s not even piracy they don’t copyright anything

[gleaming rose]

linux is really only suited for gaming because there are active efforts to really make it so

the bsds are likely just as capable but no work has been put into it

[fickle ivy]

I just found the most scummy type of redirect

[azure topaz]

all?

[fickle ivy]

I was listening to music tryna do something on a website

The redirect opened my Spotify app and changed the song I was playing to some random song

Wtf

[rose stream]

Well, not really into the desktop-focused ones anyway. It's aaalll only for Sony's own propriety OS', while everything else is just... Whatever apparently.

[frigid blade]

Oh I see, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 is meant for 2 systems

The little part on the bottom is for the smaller boards

[azure topaz]

mhm

[frigid blade]

Thats cool, never thought of that

What is the use case for something like that? Streaming vs gaming system?

[azure topaz]

mhm

[frigid blade]

they cooked with this case ngl

[azure topaz]

saves space that way compared to having two computers…kinda

[frigid blade]

can probably fit some drives in the back too

[tired bear]

Didn't they also make a splitter so you can power 2 systems with one psu

[azure topaz]

saves space if you already have the case and want to build a second system more like

[azure topaz]

yes

[indigo basin]

any way to skip this warning?

[cedar hollow]

Finding a 3090 Ti FTW3 is very hard man

[south arrow]

Can save the it i i think as safe or admin i just forget how off the top

From within windows defender and blocked files then save it there*

[hidden frigate]

does anyone here use bitlocker encryption

realized i have it on my laptop and it's only been a pain in the ass so far, so considering turning it off

[frigid blade]

add the folder/file as an exclusion probably in windows defender

[mellow cairn]

I mean, lots of people, given it's literally the default windows setup

[hidden frigate]

oh i had no idea that was default

I seem to have dodged it on my other computers

[mellow cairn]

I mean it wasn't. It is only on recent installs and OEM setups

[hidden frigate]

ahh gotcha
