The storage server is for a surveillance system, 5 5312 x 2988 h.265 streams

[thorny saddle]

I run that on a synology lol

[empty token]

im on facetime with my boyfriend and he just informed me that he hasnt cleaned his pc since 2022. lord save me

[thorny saddle]

whatever

[frigid blade]

I know it can run on small stuff 🤣 , im trying to think of reasons to go overkill

Its a because I can build, I wont be living there for a long time, I want to automate things for my parents before I leave

[thorny saddle]

all flash

automating things for your parents before you leave is pyscho

[frigid blade]

why, im not saying im moving far i can still fix stuff lol

[thorny saddle]

you're gonna find out

[frigid blade]

I cant wait to build the greenhouse

Got lots of ideas for temp and humidity sensors with automated watering

[haughty compass]

Hey so my Xbox 360 is on a version from like October 2020. Will updating it and connecting it to the internet affect any issues with homebrewing it in the future?

[ocean axle]

besides that being a bit of a bad idea as snails implied, you should be thinking in terms of reliability if you want to anyway

it needs to just keep working, and preferably also be fixable remotely

[upper abyss]

ayo guys, like 10 seconds after i enter windows, one of 3 fans randomly turns off (not always the same fan)

anyone got a suspicion as to why?

[tawdry coyote]

How do I remove the PCIE metal?

Do I need a solder

[tawdry coyote]

What

[south arrow]

Soldering iron yiss

[tawdry coyote]

Fuuuck

[frigid blade]

what am I looking at bro

[teal sinew]

idk why they put the limit at +200MHz

[tawdry coyote]

It says on the chip

[south arrow]

Lmao

[teal sinew]

youll know that you passed the stress test if you dont have any errors after 12 hours

[night urchin]

Would these extensions work or nah https://www.amazon.co.uk/EZDIY-FAB-Extension-Sleeved-Custom-Supply/dp/B099WR21BH/?th=1 https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pure-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16g-gddr6#Specification I have a Micro atx motherboard as well just so you know (B850M gigabyte)

[rigid fjord]

delete it and set pbo up in the bios itself

[rigid fjord]

what psu you got ?

at one time you used to be able to do a +500 to mhz

[night urchin]

Thermalright 650w modular

[rigid fjord]

these will work

[night urchin]

Alright would it slow down anything or nah?

[upper abyss]

is 8 hours fine ?
ion sleep that long smh

[upper abyss]

ye i did that, as he said -30/+200

[teal sinew]

probably but i like to do 12 hours personally

you can use your pc while it's running

[upper abyss]

:o okeh

ill come back in 8-12 hours then

[robust trail]

@thorny saddle Rivian 3 month owner survey : "The interior rattles like a 1980s Chevy Beretta and the audio is abysmal, totally unacceptable for something in this price class! I wouldn't trade the vehicle for anything else."

I just spent $700 on a Ryzen 7 8840HS laptop with 16GB of ram and I plan on spending another $500 on a new smaller tablet then the current one I have which is having issues and is rather larger then I honestly want

[fickle ivy]

I've been trying to factory reset windows and it's been on 3% for about an hour, should I be concerned?

[tulip sparrow]

Reinstalling Windows would likely be quicker lol

Also something like this i can understand taking hours

[deep herald]

Hi all, what is the difference between QD-OLED & WOLED? Trying to find the best option.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CV26XVMD/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_10?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[ocean axle]

QD-OLED uses quantum dots
WOLED has a white diode besides the normal RGB
both are good

[main sleet]

Holy power draw.

[deep herald]

If you we're to use this for heavy gaming which would you recommend?

[main sleet]

Both are good but I would personally go QD-OLED. Having had one for almost a year. There is no going back.

[ocean axle]

both are good

[main sleet]

It also depends on your budget.

[deep herald]

No budget

[ocean axle]

personally, ive used a woled for years now, longer than qd-oled has been on the market

[main sleet]

WOLED screens are cheaper.

[ocean axle]

no budget? gotta find something in the dumpster then to fit within $0

[deep herald]

lol

its for this

[main sleet]

But QD-OLED are usually have faster response times and sometimes more vibrant, at the cost of being less bright.

[ocean axle]

why a 9950x3d?

[deep herald]

why not

[ocean axle]

why 96GB of RAM (and why as quad stick)?

because its not a better option over the 9800x3d for gaming

[main sleet]

And why a 5080?

[ocean axle]

also why 7600MT/s RAM

why an HDD at all?

[deep herald]

Lol

[ocean axle]

"RM" is an old product line, the current ones are RMx and RMe

^ unless you already have the PSU, in which case fair enough

[limpid dune]

yeah, dual-channel will be a much better idea, having four sticks reduces the maximum frequency for electrical reasons

also ryzens work ideally at around 6000, hence EXPO-6000 being a really good idea

[ocean axle]

also, overspending on a pcie 5.0 SSD probably wont get you anything in real world performance

[main sleet]

Those specs are all over the place. 9950x3d,

B850 mobo

[ocean axle]

no, that part is fine

[main sleet]

And, why a 5080? Why not go amd?

[ocean axle]

or 5090

[low sage]

not everyone is a gamer, nvidia still has better encoding

and Ray Tracing

[nova zealot]

Man I installed Linux a week ago and ever since I reinstalled windows I get constant Blue screens of death, never in my life have I had it but no idea how to fix it, just changed to an intel b580 GPU (unrelated to issue) and even after a fresh install I get random BSOD when I got examples open an app or am in the middle of doing driver's

[gaunt chasm]

so lets help idk if he know what hes doin

[ocean axle]

intel

[low sage]

id rather use Nvidia for something like blender

[ocean axle]

this is fair though

[low sage]

but if I was purely gaming I would choose AMD, just because its cheaper and better for the price.

Not saying AMD isnt good, I have an AMD card, I would just use Nvidia if I was big money balling though.

[main sleet]

It is true Nvidia is better at ray tracing, but amd has come a long way in that regard.

[low sage]

It has come a long way but nvidia still leads.

[low sage]

Not really, you gotta pair the intel arc b580 with a good CPU or it will bottle neck really bad

and not to mention the b580 is only a mid tier card.

[ocean axle]

you were talking about encoding

[low sage]

Goated.

[limpid dune]

suggestions;
-go with two sticks of EXPO-6000 RAM (you're not gonna see much benefit from more than 32GB, but I mean feel free)
-use an X-series MB because it'll give you better VRMs and more plugs for the future
-that SSD seems a little excessive but idk. It's really good, but a 2TB might be more reasonable, and then add more storage to the drive?

to be clear, that's an amazing build, it's just a little oddly chosen

[ocean axle]

intels has a very good encoder

[low sage]

yeah Nvidia encoding is still better, a professional video editor would use nvidia over intel

Simply because, Intel encoding IS very good but nvidia is still the top dog

[limpid dune]

having used encoders from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia - Intel is by far the best for encoding

[low sage]

if only nvidia wouldnt skimp out on their new gpus : (

[deep herald]

Would rather keep NVIDIA, been using it for a decade. For the CPU, is 9950X3D better then B850?

[low sage]

really now?

[low sage]

huh

[ocean axle]

-use an X-series MB because it'll give you better VRMs and more plugs for the future
this (^) is bad advice you should get whatever board has the features you need, if you aren't overclocking anything is good enough
B vs X may be literally no different (B850 and X870 are physically identical), so its all about board features

[limpid dune]

9950X3D + B850 will work, but an X870e motherboard might give you more plugs for not much more money. Your choice though, as roguelogix says

[low sage]

is the 9950x3d better than the 9800x3d?

[main sleet]

Depends on the use case.

If you're only gaming, 9800x3d will be better.

[limpid dune]

in gaming they're equal, in big renders the 9950X3D ends up faster

[ocean axle]

im aware, i have AMD cards

[low sage]

I see.

[teal sinew]

rogue always has the latest amd goodies

[main sleet]

I mean....... So do I.

[ocean axle]

9950x3d/9070XT in my main linux machine, 7800x3d/7900xtx in my gaming machine

[deep herald]

This is why I cant use X870e.

[teal sinew]

dont you have a 7970x pc too or am i mistaken

[limpid dune]

yeah, in my testing, AMD encoders can usually turn a DVD (8GB) into a 4GB file, while Nvidia will manage ~3GB and Intel can get 2GB. Software encoding can get it down to ~1.2GB, but ofc that takes forever.

[low sage]

7900xt for 600$ or the 9070 xt for 600$?

[main sleet]

If you can find the 9070xt for that price, scoop that up.

[limpid dune]

this is not a problem, as long as the motherboard is less than a few months old. also you can just update the BIOS and it'll work

[teal sinew]

9070XT is way better than 7900XT

[ocean axle]

no TR7000 machines, i do have a dual 7513 machine and a single 7702p machine

[teal sinew]

o

[wicked spruce]

https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Computer-Frame-Less-Compatible-ES-24X5AL/dp/B0CD253J1Q
https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Essential-Ergonomic-Advanced-LS24D304GANXZA/dp/B0DK468KVS

these are essentially the same monitor but +$20 for the samsung one, is it worth it? anyone know how good sansui panels are?

[low sage]

I unfortunately could not find the 9070xt for 600$ but I picked up a brand new 7900xt for 600$.

Dont necessarily think I got ripped off though : )

[main sleet]

Hell even if you can find a 9070xt for like, $700-$750 it would be a good deal. I found mine at $729 before taxes and shipping.

Not as good of a deal, but a deal nonetheless.

[teal sinew]

i think threadripper 9000 will be announced at computex which im hype for

[low sage]

9070xt was my first choice trust me hahaha

[ocean axle]

also, i just have a lot of hardware in general, including some new stuff

[teal sinew]

i wont be buying it, but im hype to see 96 unlocked zen 5 cores go brrr in benchmarks

[ocean axle]

i want one for work

[main sleet]

My pretty 6800xt finally retired. It now rests on the shelf peacefully.

[low sage]

Threadripper best productive CPU for like work stations?

[teal sinew]

depends what ur doin

threadripper offers the most cpu core performance but there are reasons to go with a xeon instead too

[cerulean loom]

Theres a button on top my pc that like brings my fans down to a lower rpm i belive idk because nothing changes on icue when i look at the fan rpms so like whats it do?

[ocean axle]

there are few reasons to go with a xeon instead
FTFY

[main sleet]

Watch the TDP be like 400 watts on a 96 core zen 5 threadripper.

[limpid dune]

Threadrippers are pretty much just non-X3D Ryzens but with like 8x the core count. Otherwise very similar. Slightly worse for gaming though

[ocean axle]

also, i want a TR at work because i end up recompiling the game a lot, and more cores more faster for that

[teal sinew]

sounds about right, but that's very reasonable for 96 cores

[limpid dune]

oh dude, TR overclocks can EASILY go past 1000W

[main sleet]

True.

[main sleet]

So I have heard.

[teal sinew]

itll probably be the same 350W across the board that ryzen 7000 options had

[low sage]

good score or no

[main sleet]

Imagine your cpu pulling more watts than a 5090

[limpid dune]

just imagine 8 9950X in a trenchcoat

[main sleet]

[teal sinew]

glued to a much larger soc chiplet that has an 8 channel memory controller

and a bajillion pcie lanes

[main sleet]

Gib

[limpid dune]

I need those PCIe lanes for my eight 1080Tis

[main sleet]

In what world do you need 8 of those?

[limpid dune]

Crysis

[main sleet]

Fair

[teal sinew]

im dying to see Epyc Zen 6 and Xeon 7 Diamond Rapids because theyll both be offering 192 performance cores and 16 channel memory

absolute madness

[main sleet]

wtf

Dude the die on those chips have got to be massive.

[teal sinew]

yeah theyre colossal

[timber sandal]

I just finished my build, now I am getting a red light on vga, does somebody have a clue? https://youtube.com/shorts/hK64KL9DFd8?si=mQs6pf8jV1EVpIdJ

[teal sinew]

diamond rapids uses LGA 9324

[main sleet]

That's a lot of pins

[teal sinew]

youll be able to order it with 12800MT/s MRDIMMs

16 channel ddr5 12800 lololol

it's so ridiculous

[limpid dune]

this is what granite rapids looks like when delidded

[main sleet]

Talk about overcompensation.

[main sleet]

HOLY SHIT

[limpid dune]

just a block of silicon

[main sleet]

that thing is absoutely massive.

[teal sinew]

this is 128 cores and the socket is lga 7529

[limpid dune]

||architecturally similarin layout to the first gen ryzens but SHHHH||

[teal sinew]

not at all

intel's packaging is far more sophisticated than what amd is using even today

but yeah the chiplets are touching eachother

[steel umbra]

me give

[teal sinew]

supposedly Intel will be launching unlocked granite rapids and w890 motherboards later this year

[frigid blade]

is a r930 with 4 E7-8890 V4s, Dell HBA330, Dell Intel X550+i350, and a rail kit for $820 before taxes a bad price?
This isnt about being realistic with the build just wondering

[teal sinew]

maybe around the same time that amd launches threadripper 9000

[harsh whale]

Is the 3080 still good for Ultra (RT) 1440p gaming?

[teal sinew]

it's okay

framegen is really nice to have for RT/PT gaming and the rtx 3000 series cant use it

[harsh whale]

It can use FSR 3 FG tho

[teal sinew]

yeah which is crap

[frigid blade]

You could probably get 60+ FPS on most games

[harsh whale]

Whats its AMD alternative?

[teal sinew]

i didnt use framegen when i had my 6900XT because FSR 3 framegen is terrible

i tried it out a couple times and it barely worked

dlss framegen is so much better

[frigid blade]

Wouldnt know, ive only ever used team green

not that I dont like AMD, just the circumstances I had

[harsh whale]

Are you saying I should get a 4060 Ti 16GB? Thats the only 40 series at the same price.

[limpid dune]

the 3080 equivalent would probably be a 9070 non-XT or something

[teal sinew]

didnt i talk to you yesterday

i thought you were looking at 5060Ti 16GB and 4070Ti Super

[gaunt chasm]

what are the quitest fans?

[steel umbra]

in RT y

[ocean axle]

still framegen, still bad

[teal sinew]

any fan can be quiet if you run them at a low speed

[limpid dune]

the quietest fans are no fans at all

[frigid blade]

the ones that make the least amount of noise :P

[harsh whale]

Nah it was smth else

[teal sinew]

have you tried dlss 4 framegen?

[limpid dune]

I have an old radeon HD6450 in my NAS. it was too loud so I just unplugged the GPU fan. now I have a silent GPU 🙏

[teal sinew]

i wrote framegen off as memetech before i tried nvidia's version

[ocean axle]

i haven't used any framegen, and plan to keep it that way

[gaunt chasm]

understandable but silent wings pro 4?

[teal sinew]

if you want the 120mm fan with the best noise normalized performance then it's the Phanteks T30, and they're like $30 apiece

[frigid blade]

oh wow the 930 supports 12TB of RAM, I wonder if anyone actually uses that much even in datacenters?

[limpid dune]

I use framegen in RDR2 because the game stops working at >120FPS, so I render at 90FPS and interpolate up to 180FPS so the physics engine doesn't die 😭

[harsh whale]

Mmm, so should I get a 3080 10GB with no DLSS 4 and FG, or should I get a 4060 Ti with DLSS 4 and FG?

[teal sinew]

3080 can use dlss 4 upscaling but yeah no dlss framegen

[frigid blade]

You probably dont even need dlss on the 3080 if you just wanna run 60FPS, what do you want out of it?

[steel umbra]

the way they market it and compare to previous gens ye it is a meme tech, not all games support frame gen, otherwise it’s fine addition but you ofc pay for the features as the end consumer

[limpid dune]

most servers don't, but sometimes buisinesses will have gigantic SQL databases that need terabytes of RAM.

that's kind of IBM's thing, IBM offers server "motherboards" with hundreds of sockets and petabytes of RAM, for running huge SQL databases

[teal sinew]

yeah nvidia's marketing tactics lately are scummy

i love dlss framegen though it's such a massive buff to smoothness and clarity

[harsh whale]

180 FPS on competative games (I know it will get) and like 60-100 FPS on story games with max graphics.

[teal sinew]

bro youve been talking about buying various gpus for like 5 months

and we did talk about you choosing between 4070Ti, 4070Ti Super, 5060Ti 16GB, and 5070

[limpid dune]

he just like me fr (I still haven't committed to my NAS)

[frigid blade]

Is building servers for cheap and reselling popular? Im looking and these big ass servers (used) are selling for thousands when the parts cost maybe $1k (on eBay)

[harsh whale]

I'll just get the 3080

[teal sinew]

same ive been procrastinating on mine for like a year loool

im too frugal to buy the drives and too lazy to set it up

[frigid blade]

Theres nothing wrong with that, Ive been planning my homelab for 2 years now

[deep herald]

Alright so I switched out the 5080 to 5090 NVIDIA, along with B850 to X870E. Now I need to find CPU Cooler & Case Fans 😎

[frigid blade]

Now I kinda want a 96 core server just because, it seems cool to build and can probably sell it for more than I bought it

[harsh whale]

Why not just one set of 48x2?

[deep herald]

Need 4

[teal sinew]

y

[deep herald]

Work reasons

[teal sinew]

[limpid dune]

usually no, companies that want big servers need to know that it's reliable and warrantied

[harsh whale]

Why? Literally no upsides, all downsides

[deep herald]

What are the downsides?

[teal sinew]

running four dimms is far more straining on your memory controller

[deep herald]

Maybe I could just do two 32gb's for 64GB.

[teal sinew]

youre probably not going to be able to stabilize 4x24GB at 7600MT/s

[deep herald]

Should be better

[teal sinew]

go for 2x32 or 2x48

[frigid blade]

or 48x2, lol

You definitely wont run 4 dimms at 7200MT/s

I cant even run them above 5600

[limpid dune]

having four DIMMs will reduce the maximum memory frequency, two 48GB DIMMs will be much better

also; AMD chips will do well in gaming if you go for EXPO-6000, unless you want to manually tune in 7600 or something

[harsh whale]

I doubt he can even run 2x48GB at 7600MT

[frigid blade]

I can run 2 48gb dimms 6400 with the XMP profile

[gloomy sleet]

found my new set of keycaps

[gloomy sleet]

for the extreme price of £18

[teal sinew]

im running 2x32 6400 gear 1 manual tune with my 9800x3d

[frigid blade]

Oh sorry, 6800

Maybe I could get 7000 out of them or more if I tuned it, but I dont want to, they come by default as 6800 CL34

[teal sinew]

it's passed 12 hours of prime95, 12 hours of karhu memtest, and im at 7.8 hours of y-cruncher vt3 right now 🙏

[limpid dune]

I was able to hit EXPO-6400 on two channels on my 7900X3D, but the SOC was making a lot of heat and it throttled 😭

[deep herald]

Any recommendtions for CPU Coolers for this build? That's what I am mainly stuck on.

[limpid dune]

def an AIO

[teal sinew]

thankfully i have a pretty decent SOC chiplet

i only need 1.20VSOC to run 6400

[limpid dune]

or maybe a twin-tower cooler if you crave reliability

but I'd say AIO

doesn't need to be big, even just a 240mm would do well, but pick one that will fit nicely in your case

[teal sinew]

get a $40 thermalright dualtower air cooler, or get an AIO with the biggest size radiator that will fit in the top of your case as an exhaust

arctic liquid freezer iii is great for AM5

[limpid dune]

my dualtower struggles to cool my 7900X3D at full PBO, I think a 9950X3D deserves better

[teal sinew]

well that’s more of a 7900x3d issue

6 core ryzen 7000 ccds run really hot at higher wattages, especially with the 3d cache on top

air coolers can do like 700W on threadripper

[limpid dune]

damn

[deep herald]

Nothing too loud and something that will do the job ideally. Is AIO the way to go?

[teal sinew]

i tried out the peerless assassin on my 5960x and i was able to do 300W+ just fine

[deep herald]

Pushing 892 Watts rn lol

[limpid dune]

I have a dark rock pro 3 lying around that my uncle bought in 2015 and forgot about, that thing was designed for LGA-2011v3 gaming

[teal sinew]

loud is up to how you set your fan curve, but if you want peak performance then yeah get an arctic liquid freezer iii

[deep herald]

Noted.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/v2kqqs/arctic-liquid-freezer-iii-pro-360-77-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00180a
This?

[limpid dune]

to be fair; there is basically no way you're gonna get a 5090 to be quiet

[main sleet]

Chat what do we think about this?

[teal sinew]

you should be able to do like 300W on the 9950X3D with that

[knotty pike]

I'm legit convinced there is a radar jammer being used in my area.

[limpid dune]

where??

[knotty pike]

Someone maybe running one of those crappy police radar jammers is what I mean by.

[deep herald]

Thank you all for the help. Again most of this stuff is for a reason (specific/high qual parts). Just want to be able to have everything running smooth with little to no errors.

[gloomy sleet]

or just the classic

[deep herald]

Official Build.

[knotty pike]

Was gonna ask if there is an easy way to trace a jammer so I can report it.

[gaunt chasm]

@deep herald

[gloomy sleet]

now i need to find the absolute heaviest tactile switch possible

i want that shit to have die springs

[gilded thistle]

Thoughts on 7800x3d with rtx 5070?

[gloomy sleet]

i’d prefer it to be tactile but good enough

[gloomy sleet]

nothing wrong with that pairing

[teal sinew]

holy frickin moly

[gilded thistle]

Is $300 more for a 9070xt / $600 more for 5070ti worth?

[gloomy sleet]

i’d go for the 9070xt

[gloomy sleet]

what

[teal sinew]

heavy as frick

[gilded thistle]

Does the 9070xt have similar productivity performance as 5070?

[teal sinew]

5070 is probably better for most productive tasks

but if that's your main usecase then 5060Ti 16GB is a good value card

[gilded thistle]

I would be gaming too

5070ti would be perfect but it’s 1.2k USD for me

[gloomy sleet]

mx grey tactiles are like 120g

[teal sinew]

gah damn

the heaviest that ive used were only 65g bottom out, and those were already heavier than id prefer

[steel umbra]

uhh, isn’t the bottom out 100g?

[gloomy sleet]

i think i might get kailh cream blueberries lighter but tactile

[gloomy sleet]

i’m going by this

[steel umbra]

do they have swapped springs?

[gloomy sleet]

idk

[steel umbra]

from their graph it should be 110g

[gloomy sleet]

that’s the general tool tip they have on all cherry mx switches

[steel umbra]

but pretty sure this isn’t the actual graph they measured because it’s way too smooth

[gloomy sleet]

idk how accurate the tool tip is

[steel umbra]

wrong image

mx clear.

[gloomy sleet]

damn those weak as fuck

put some heavy load die springs in a switch

[steel umbra]

cherry should step up their game

[gloomy sleet]

press down on this fucker

[steel umbra]

if i recall correctly they closed one of their factory in germany? or usa? and moving to produce in china

they recently released some switches but they’re $$$

[gloomy sleet]

150kg actuation point

[gloomy sleet]

odd business move considering tariffs

i’ll probably get the ancient grey or whatever the fuck it’s called and the cream blueberries (goofy ass names)

[mint umbra]

Just don't ship to the USA then no tariffs

[gloomy sleet]

genius

[steel umbra]

probably not profitable enough as pretty much the market is overbloated with competition so moved to china, well, they’re literally just pieces of plastic with some mechanical metal parts and maybe lube

[gloomy sleet]

3d printer could honestly do 90% of it lmao

[steel umbra]

if you like friction yes

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve manually injection moulded stuff and it’s hard to do that precise i would how they do it

i used government funding to make lego

[cosmic stratus]

my dad needs to stop using facebook, he keeps fallin for scams

[gloomy sleet]

they make even stronger ones Y max force (N) X diameter (mm)

[cosmic stratus]

hell naw

[gloomy sleet]

the coils in this bad boy

[cosmic stratus]

[gloomy sleet]

white one is twice as strong as that silver one

[steel umbra]

i don’t have much agaisnt them moving the factories to china, i mean excluding cherry like 95% of the popular cheap kb mechanical switches are made there

[cosmic stratus]

wtf

[gloomy sleet]

actuation point in a switch 800kg

[gloomy sleet]

yeah that’s fair

china is the standard when talking about any tech honestly

9/10 the tech you buy is chinese

[steel umbra]

and they’re also good at it so…
just maybe not all types of switches

[cosmic stratus]

man I could use a decent camera upgrade from my s21+

[gloomy sleet]

i want a 200g tactile switch

[steel umbra]

springs

[cosmic stratus]

open box for 260

[gloomy sleet]

just put a W grade die spring in it

[steel umbra]

wish samsung was more competitive with phones nowadays, they’re sleepin in the west

[gloomy sleet]

for reference i use B grade blue springs in my racing sim for a 150kg load cell and these are the tiny coils in comparison

[steel umbra]

but yeah decent price for that phone

[gloomy sleet]

if those can easily do 150kg i’m afraid at what a W grade spring can handle

[frigid blade]

Would it be possible to put a pcie gen 4 thing inside a pcie gen4 slot and split it into 2 pcie gen3 slots to get the full bandwidth?

I dont need any specific applications like that, but I was thinking about it, if you needed the full gen4 speeds, can you split it between 2 gen3 slots?

I assume youd need some kind of custom software to handle that
Im not talking about bifurcation, other way around

[cosmic stratus]

s25U camera upgraded is a joke

when are we gonna get larger sensors, better telephoto lenses

especially on the plus model, why is that still using camera hardware from fucking 2022

[spring latch]

Never let 2 AIs based on really fast models chat with eachother for 15 hours straight

[steel umbra]

their new whole lineup is

[cosmic stratus]

3x 10mp telephoto in 2025 is just

[cosmic stratus]

only 35k results

[spring latch]

i mean in 15 hours is still crazy

for 2 ais

for context, one is google gemma 3 4B off my friends 1080 ti and the other is Gemini 2.0 Flash off google cloud

[cosmic stratus]

I feel like two computers could do like 100k but I forget thats not how LLMs works lol

[steel umbra]

samsung is genuienly milking their phone user base more than apple nowadays with their mostly unimpressive upgrades and non dropping prices, remember when they were making jokes about apple not including a charger and what was the other thing?

[cosmic stratus]

I wish I could run some models locally on my 5700xt but its just not efficient

[spring latch]

it could run a 4b model reasonably well with ollama

[cosmic stratus]

Apple is a leader when it comes to business and making money

so it makes sense to see others copy that unfortunately

[steel umbra]

and samsung le tries to cope that

[steel umbra]

yes but samsung does it wrong

[peak knot]

they also are leaders in not following court orders lol

[cosmic stratus]

bc they rich

[cosmic stratus]

they will just chuck the occasional 1-100mil dollars at a fine like how us poor people would with giving away 1$ and call it a day

[steel umbra]

imagine if it was in %

[cosmic stratus]

[steel umbra]

just like some countries do fines like that for charges

[peak knot]

no the judge was way stricter than a fine

[cosmic stratus]

I forget what different kinds of punishment they would give

[cosmic stratus]

its a shame EU law changes wont really affect apple in other regions

EU users get side loading

[steel umbra]

i get the back arrow when installing windows, not needin to bypass the login or internet requirement

[cosmic stratus]

mmm

I just use a modified installation with good old rufus

[cosmic stratus]

bro im gonna yell at someone in IT at my school

why the fuck does the task bar need to be stretched

thats never necessary

[peak tiger]

how they even do dat

[cosmic stratus]

go to task bar settings, unlock and you can just drag

to stretch

[steel umbra]

maybe space for more icons

[peak tiger]

what an odd feature

[cosmic stratus]

not on windows 11 thank god

[cosmic stratus]

Not even making use of the space either

[peak knot]

a couple days ago they lost their lawsuit against epic games and now have to release a lot of the strict rules on apps in the app store related to sales and making in app purchases

[sinful cobalt]

Such an apple move

[steel umbra]

oh, continuation of the previous lawsuit or a new proposal?

[gleaming rose]

making a language for shits and giggles

[steel umbra]

i’ll give you two banbillion trillion dollars if it’s harder to understand than c++

[gleaming rose]

it's supposed to be as simple as possible

[steel umbra]

kevinstinky lost interest at the sight of simple

yeah gl, aslong it’s not as hard or bloated as c++ i gib u 200 fortnite credits

hard to understand cough for me

[sinful cobalt]

when the handwriting so bad u wonder if you created a whole new language

[empty quartz]

As much as i like my macbook, i fucking hate it

[frigid blade]

Chicken scratch handwriting is the way to go

[empty quartz]

The default fan curves on 2010 macbook pro’s is awful

[sinful cobalt]

bruh

[empty quartz]

Heres with the fans on full blast with the bottom panel on

Here’s without

[sinful cobalt]

.

[azure topaz]

bro

bro

where the air comin from

[sinful cobalt]

my thoughts exactly

[azure topaz]

WHERE IS IT GOING

theyre blowing straight into the glass 😭

[sinful cobalt]

Glass is a great conductor of air

-said noone ever

[azure topaz]

-said this guy, probably

[sinful cobalt]

thats not mine in the first place

[azure topaz]

i hope not

thats -1000000 social credit

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz i need your opinion, do i keep or sell the 2nd mac pro?

[sinful cobalt]

the guy has a 1050ti in that system rn

[azure topaz]

sell it for a million dollars

[sinful cobalt]

the fans are worth more than tbe card

[azure topaz]

needs the cooling

[empty quartz]

Im actually being serious rn.

[azure topaz]

its a 16? year old mac pro literally what else to do with it but sell it

[sinful cobalt]

tell ace attourney double it and give it to the next person (dont actually)

[azure topaz]

shuck its guts and use it as an actual computer case? idk

[empty quartz]

Its a 2010 single cpu

[shut shard]

I want to add another ssd to my pc current one is a western digital black. Should I buy a ssd from the same company or someplace else?

[empty quartz]

Dont waste your money on a wd

Get something like a teamgroup

[shut shard]

is it good?

[empty quartz]

Teamgroup mp44/mp44l is what i’d recommend

[torn bluff]

Is it ok to plug in a surge protector into another if your only using the secondary surge protector to charge stuff

[empty quartz]

…

Just use another outlet

[frail delta]

418925

That's what I meant to send

[lost lance]

are agp cards worth a decent amount

[torn bluff]

cuz my desk has a optional surge protector at the top but yeah u right

[formal sonnet]

Today? No. 25 years ago? Maybe.

[lost lance]

well lets say i got a fx 5700 le for $5

and it works just fine is that a good price

[azure topaz]

no

because a board to slot it in is not 5$

[formal sonnet]

It's "bad practice" to run high draw loads off any kind of extension, including multiple power bars connected in series. However, this really only applies to things that draw hundreds of watts, not USB devices.

[winter lantern]

What should I do with this 60lb ups

[lost lance]

the motherboard was free cause the psu in the pc i got it from was broken so the previous owner gave it away because he couldnt figure it out

[winter lantern]

The box is the same size as my pc

[lost lance]

so its a pentium 4 northbridge with agp

[azure topaz]

have fun playing fuckin far cry 1 man

[winter lantern]

My friend has a gpu that runs hl2 at 480p 30fps

💔

Bro bought it for the meme

[sinful cobalt]

[winter lantern]

780m is decent

[lost lance]

i played half life 2, 1, and finaly fantasy 7 on i t

its a xp gamign pc

[sinful cobalt]

3200x2000 display 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[winter lantern]

1080p

[sinful cobalt]

is that a curved display

[winter lantern]

Yes

The gpu doesn't let me make it 16:9

[sinful cobalt]

💀

[shut shard]

So I can use any brand as long as it’s m.2 right?

[frigid blade]

Just sent a request to a professor at my college about any equipment that i could take off of their hands

[azure topaz]

slide some over

[cosmic stratus]

many people seem to forget the last part

[harsh whale]

What does the 5600X/5700X compare to on the intel side?

[frigid blade]

My fingers are crossed, I know a guy who knows him that used to teach me

[frail delta]

Only applies to thing that draw hundreds of watts? Lucky my space heaters are 2000w

[sinful cobalt]

for my next trick i will be demonstrating stupid airflow

[frigid blade]

They had hella equipment that they sent over to my high school, server grade stuff, Cisco switches and routers, they sent over like 10 of each when I was a student there

Sadly it was during my last year

[torn bluff]

so it would "technically" be ok if the max was like 35 watts

[winter lantern]

Make the fans on the bottom exhaust

[frigid blade]

No, bottom is intake

[formal sonnet]

Can confirm. Including our city's fire inspectors. It's like, okay, I get it - don't run a Microwave Oven off a 30ft extension cord connected to 3 power bars. Duh. It causes the cords to heat up and potentially melt the longer they are. But um, fire marshall Bill, 3 extension cords connected together with a single 90w laptop power adapter on the end won't blow anything up. Please calm down.

[frigid blade]

Bottom and right are intake, top and left are exhaust

[stiff verge]

I was able to do it with mine, but for 16:9 you can't have the 240hz if I remembrer corretly

[frigid blade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1298397840980312085/airflow.gif

[winter lantern]

The gpu is worse then hdmi 1.4

[stiff verge]

I'll try to remembrer exactly how did I make it 16:9

[formal sonnet]

Look, YOU can just solve all your electrical problems by plugging a power bar into itself.

[frigid blade]

He’s got a poopy GPU that doesn’t even show up as a device without installing drivers first

[winter lantern]

I made it 16:9 on my laptop

[frigid blade]

Idk if it can even do 1080p

[winter lantern]

I was sad that it can't run cyberpunk

What no drivers sense 2016 does to an mf

[stiff verge]

Rx 580?

[frigid blade]

Oh lucky me, I just saw an auction start for an r940

[winter lantern]

That can run cyberpunk just fine

Even the 4gb version

[frigid blade]

My the lord keep the auction price as low as it is now on the last day

The eBay computer lord

[winter lantern]

@stiff verge

Am I bottlenecked

[frigid blade]

Why do you have 8 tb of storage

[winter lantern]

Because it came with it

[frigid blade]

Ah right

wtf did they need 8 tbs for

[stiff verge]

I guess, if the gpu cant run cyberpunk but you have a 13700k

[winter lantern]

13900kf

[frigid blade]

The 13900kf has iGPU

[winter lantern]

It doesn't

[frigid blade]

Er no

[stiff verge]

I have 17tb in mine

[frigid blade]

Oops, I’m thinking of my old cpu mb

[winter lantern]

F literally means no igpu

[stiff verge]

The kf version doesnt

[winter lantern]

Mine are all ssds

[frigid blade]

Yah, I know, I have a 13900kf but it’s my new pc and I’m still used to my 13600k

I need to sell this thing

13600k and 3070 Ti, maybe I can get $1k for it

[stiff verge]

Sometimes I miss my 6700k

[stiff verge]

I only have 5tb of ssd

[frigid blade]

I don’t get why some people buy laptops with high end processors for a lot of money when they don’t even use it

[stiff verge]

The 12tb is for my videos and shared files

[frigid blade]

I found that I could do light gaming on my laptop with an i7-4600U and all daily tasks

[winter lantern]

Ill trade you my broken 4090

[frigid blade]

No, try fixing it

[sinful cobalt]

real

[frigid blade]

780m is good, I’ll be using it in my mini PCs

Literally only for decoding

[stiff verge]

What happened? Melted connector?

[winter lantern]

Gpu repairs are way too expensive for a 4090
I dont get why they assume someone with a 4090 has alot of spending money

[winter lantern]

Unknown
Could be anything

[hollow creek]

well they usually do

[frigid blade]

Because if they can afford a 4090 they should be able to afford a repair

[winter lantern]

People think the core is gone

[sinful cobalt]

because maybe u dropped 1.6k+ on a card?

[winter lantern]

Fair but I didn't 😔

[frigid blade]

Why don’t you request an RMA?

[winter lantern]

I dont want to spend 400 on a repair

[winter lantern]

I dont have proof

I didnt buy it

[frigid blade]

Of what

[mellow cairn]

that has nothing to do with why GPU repairs are expensive

[frigid blade]

You don’t need to on some GPUs

[winter lantern]

Yes it does

[frigid blade]

It depends on what brand you have

[mellow cairn]

Then fix it yourself

[winter lantern]

I cant

[mellow cairn]

oh wait... you can't? because you don't have the skills or equipment?

[sinful cobalt]

repairing shit is also a dying industry tbh

[mellow cairn]

I guess people who repair GPUs don't deserve to eat

[frigid blade]

They are as dense as a brick that’s why

[mellow cairn]

exactly

[winter lantern]

I don't think that's a stupid thing that you can't repair a gpu

[mellow cairn]

no, that's the point.

[winter lantern]

My one sale doesn't effect anything

[frigid blade]

Is your GPU MSI?

[sinful cobalt]

asus

aka RMA nightmare company

[mellow cairn]

that is irrelevant to the cost of repairing GPUs, which is what you said.

you didn't say "they should comp my repair blah blah blah"

[winter lantern]

I need a receipt

[frigid blade]

Ah that sucks for asus

[stiff verge]

Where did you get it?

[frigid blade]

That’s not even what it says

[winter lantern]

It is for me

[fringe prairie]

what laptop is this

[frigid blade]

Bro

[mellow cairn]

so... sucks to be you?

[winter lantern]

Used

[sinful cobalt]

asuck vivobook s16

[fringe prairie]

ggs

[mellow cairn]

That is a perfectly reasonable policy

[winter lantern]

Ik

Its common sense

[frigid blade]

Buddy, you can literally request the RMA, you just need the identifiers on the card

[sinful cobalt]

this guy didnt ask for the invoice when u bought the card lmao

[winter lantern]

Do they just say that and not enforce it depending on the person I get?

[winter lantern]

Because the seller didnt buy it

How would i have

[frigid blade]

Try it and see, it doesn’t say you need an invoice at all

[winter lantern]

What did the thing I show you say

[frigid blade]

If you don’t have one, warranty starts from the date of the devices delivery probably to the first person to purchase it originally form ASUS

[winter lantern]

I have enough of the owners original information

[sinful cobalt]

read the 2nd part, u can prob search the S/N and if the warranty is still active u can send it in

[winter lantern]

Impersonation 🔥

[frigid blade]

You don’t need it, they get that with the S/N

It’s in their records

They use that date as the start of the warranty

[waxen pilot]

is the 2016 mbp worth it?

[winter lantern]

Yeah then I need to confirm it

[frigid blade]

Why do you think that?

[frail delta]

No

Do not buy an Intel Mac in 2025

[sinful cobalt]

maybe bcs its asus and their rma is complicated as fk

[winter lantern]

Its rng

[frigid blade]

Yah, it’s RNG

[winter lantern]

Gotta get the right person on the line

[frigid blade]

But it’s worth wasting your time instead of complaining on discord for a week straight dude

[winter lantern]

🔥

[waxen pilot]

Is it really that bad? My only purpose is to experience MacOS and web browsing. I also found a good deal on eBay for a Microsoft Laptop Surface 3 15 inch for $150 USD.

[frigid blade]

You could’ve been done by now

[winter lantern]

Idk what to say on the phone

When they ask for proof do I just hang up?

[frigid blade]

I don’t see anything about a phone, it’s online it looks like

[frail delta]

Yes. Intel Macs are crap, especially 2016 w/ thermal issues and butterfly keyboard

Buy an M1 Macbook Air

[frigid blade]

https://am-rma.asus.com/us

[sinful cobalt]

just enter the SN, fill out ur own information first

it should go through unless they are nitpicky as fuck

[frigid blade]

Right, it will probably be email based or something

[waxen pilot]

Alright, thank's for the help.

[winter lantern]

What does this mean btw
If you are unable to provide the effective purchase invoice of the product, the product warranty will start from the date of device delivery

[frigid blade]

I literally just told you what that meant

[frail delta]

It'll be so much better, and the battery will literally last days

[sinful cobalt]

……

[winter lantern]

Just tell me what the part after the comma means

[warm linden]

Anyone know how much performance bump I should expect going from a 3060 12gb to a 5070?

[sinful cobalt]

it means warranty starts from the day it got registered no?

[frigid blade]

If you don’t have invoice, your warranty starts the day it was delivered to the person who original purchased it from ASUS directly

They have that in their system when they look up your 4090s S/N

[waxen pilot]

Yea, I've seen a lot of people compliment the battery life on Apple Silicon. However, I'm still debating whether I should spend $500ish for a used M1 Macbook Air or $150 for a new (ish) Microsoft Surface Laptop.

[winter lantern]

Isnt that the same date either way?

[sinful cobalt]

Yes and No, if the original owner bought fron a shop, the warranty date is prob starting from when the retailer got the card

[winter lantern]

Aint gigabyte the one with bad warranties

[sinful cobalt]

gigatroll as far as i know has shit QC

asus has bad warranties

[winter lantern]

That seems alot worse

[fringe prairie]

fuck no

[winter lantern]

The actual product being damaged instead of it being hard to repair

[formal sonnet]

There are many reasons I don't touch Gigabyte products anymore. This be one of them.

[stiff verge]

Never had trouble with asus warranty, but a lot for gigabyte ones

[frigid blade]

For some reason I’ve been lucky and never had to RMA

Or do a return/refund

Actually, the RAM I did hit it was very recent

[sinful cobalt]

ive had a rog cetra return process and they tried charging me for bluetooth dead on arrival 💀

[frigid blade]

My 96GB kit didn’t work, got a new one that did

[sinful cobalt]

fought them for a month b4 i could actually fucking return it

their RMA and return process is so anti consumer

[frail delta]

I was reveling at how nice this Cambium AP was, then I saw the RRP is $1000!!!!

[winter lantern]

The ram i have says it has 6000 speed but it has 4800 speed

💔

[steel umbra]

i mean their budget monitors have been ok

[winter lantern]

Not like that matters without something to use it

[steel umbra]

not all

[winter lantern]

The Samsung odyssey g9 neo is my budget monitor

[steel umbra]

i think one of their 24” ips monitors was really brittle

[frigid blade]

Then change it in the bios

[steel umbra]

like, it came damaged to the customers

[winter lantern]

Can you guide me how 🥺

[steel umbra]

could not be qc in the end but a flaw well

[frigid blade]

Bios -> XMP -> Enable -> switch to 6000

[steel umbra]

i meant cheap y

[frigid blade]

Or select the first XMP profile

Should be that

[sinful cobalt]

buddy its 4800mhz by default unless u enable xmp/expo

[stiff verge]

What is your non-budget one then?

[winter lantern]

Makes sense

[winter lantern]

Its my only monitor that isn't 1080p

[frigid blade]

That’s JEDEC minimum for DDR5 btw, and it’s 4800MT/s not MHz

[mint quiver]

i need some help if anyone’s available

[sinful cobalt]

a totally PC noob just bought a 4090 pc and blud took 0 measures to ensure how it works, how to use and whether its working properly

[wary gyro]

hi : D

[steel umbra]

g24f and g24f-2

[winter lantern]

They said it had issues

[steel umbra]

those were the 🔥 ones

[narrow hornet]

yo

my gpu temps r 74 degrees

[frigid blade]

So you know it had issues, and you know you aren’t very good with computers, and you still bought it

[sinful cobalt]

like?

[narrow hornet]

i havea laptop

[winter lantern]

How do I enable

[sinful cobalt]

lol fr

[narrow hornet]

is that normal

[azure topaz]

yes normal

[winter lantern]

Pcs are Modular so parts can be replaced

[steel umbra]

brittle screen, screens being defective in unusual ways, and generally not good qc on those models

[frigid blade]

Click the profile and go through them, one of them should be 6000

Oh wait

[sinful cobalt]

i’d expect it to be higher for a laptop icl

[narrow hornet]

oh lol

[frigid blade]

It is on 6000, so it should show up in task manager on windows

[narrow hornet]

loud ahh fan too

[winter lantern]

It said 4800 here

Gpu flex btw

[sinful cobalt]

the downsides of a gaming laptop

it eats battery, big af, runs hot, fans need to spin to the max

[frigid blade]

4800MHz is 9600MT/s no? Is windows displaying it wrong

[narrow hornet]

nah mine isnt rlly bulky

[azure topaz]

windows doesnt do proper speed

[narrow hornet]

i see

[azure topaz]

it sometimes says MT/s but othertimes itll say MHz

[sinful cobalt]

no by right MT/mhz (1 or the other) rates are double so it is correct

[winter lantern]

What ia that 4400 number then

[sinful cobalt]

wait no im high is it the other way around

[azure topaz]

MT the rates are not double

[sinful cobalt]

idk i forgot

[azure topaz]

theyre what they actually say

[frigid blade]

MT is double the MHz

[azure topaz]

MHz is when DDR kicks in, but many people dontt listen anyways

[steel umbra]

1mhz = 2mt/s for simplicity

[sinful cobalt]

o ok

i havent gotten onto this topic for a longass time i forgor

[lime sundial]

I have a pc and a laptop and i want to be able to plug in into a dock for my laptop i was wondering if yall have some reccs

[frigid blade]

reccs?

Oh recommendations

Idk what you’re asking tbh

[warm linden]

Anyone?

[frigid blade]

Google comparisons

Easiest way to get info

[steel umbra]

like +110%*

from my head

[steel umbra]

you gotta search your specific use case

[warm linden]

Nice

[steel umbra]

the % will vary there

[warm linden]

I’m using it for Minecraft shaders

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s the average score, they show specific games and their performance too

[warm linden]

Cool, I just want to get at least 200+ since my panel is a 1440p165hz

[frigid blade]

What kind of shaders

[warm linden]

Seus ptgi stuff like that

[frigid blade]

I don’t think I even get 200 on my 4090 with RT shaders 1440p

Maybe I should check

[warm linden]

Not Ray traced I don’t think

But I’m using optimization mods too like iris

[frigid blade]

Ah

[warm linden]

I think it should be do able. I’m at like 70fps rn with shaders

[frigid blade]

Some guy said he doubted I could get vanilla Minecraft running 720p 60FPS on an i5-4300U without the lowest settings possible

[warm linden]

Lmao what

[frigid blade]

Yah tech city is ass sometimes

[winter lantern]

Userbenchmark better

[sinful cobalt]

1060 on top

[warm linden]

Why I use tech power up gpu database

[winter lantern]

Userbenchmark is actually good if you only look at nvidia gpus

[frigid blade]

If you’re comparing NVIDIA with NVIDIA or Intel with Intel, sure

[frigid blade]

Magic

[sinful cobalt]

my thougjts exactly but some of their benchmarks just shat number advantages outta their ass

[sleek ibex]

[sinful cobalt]

even for intel v intel n nvidia v nvidia

[warm linden]

Seems too good to be true

[frigid blade]

I bed it’s not raw vs raw performance

[warm linden]

I think maybe there’s some mfg mixed in there to make it like that

[frigid blade]

Using frame gen or something

[sinful cobalt]

Even if u discount the 50 series

other comparisons look like bullshit

[warm linden]

Yeah raster vs raster I bet it’s closer to the 70-80% number

[sinful cobalt]

how are they shitting out 200% better bro

like dawg their comparison is absolute cheeks

[frigid blade]

RT

[harsh whale]

Why is this happening?

[frigid blade]

I really hope nobody else bids on this auction it’s gonna be such a snag if I can get it for like $500

[sinful cobalt]

then lets compare a 4070 super vs 5070 they’ll say the 5070 is 200% better

[warm linden]

For what

[frigid blade]

Server

[winter lantern]

Bro is NOT getting a 500$ threadripper

[frigid blade]

4 Gold 6148’s

It’s at $50 rn and like no saves

[steel umbra]

no, avoid them

[warm linden]

They say it’s only 9% better

[winter lantern]

You know they will probably just cancel it

[frigid blade]

Maybe, I doubt it though, they high rated sellers with lots of auctions don’t do that

They do set a reserve though some of them

Which is not worth it imo

You have to pay the reserve fee even if it doesn’t sell

[harsh whale]

What the actual fuck

[frigid blade]

What game

[sinful cobalt]

did u turn on the fan

[harsh whale]

Xplane 11

[sinful cobalt]

no way ts is hitting 100c on 30w dawg

[harsh whale]

It sounds like a leaf blower right now

[sinful cobalt]

my iGPU hits 82c on like 54w

[frigid blade]

Bro forgot the thermal paste

[harsh whale]

Nah its in there

MX4

[sinful cobalt]

he put a miniscule amount

either that or he added too much

[frigid blade]

Bro forgot to take off the plastic from the metal

[harsh whale]

He covered both dies

[sinful cobalt]

bro forgot to tighten the fan

[azure topaz]

75w is a lot for a cheap laptop

[winter lantern]

Highested I've gotten my temps to

[frigid blade]

On the broken 4090? :P

[winter lantern]

On my laptop

[winter lantern]

It gets warm

[frigid blade]

My laptop with the 4600U gets up to 92C

It gets toasty

Can’t put it in my lap

So it’s just a top

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[sinful cobalt]

then my 8945HS runs cool compared to that shit

the vivobook is pretty thin

[frigid blade]

It only pulls 15W

Can run MC tho

[sinful cobalt]

the iGPU pulls up to 54w

[frigid blade]

my pkg draw is like 18W

iGPU and CPU

[sinful cobalt]

was it 54 wait i need check

yea it peaked at 54

but if it goes 54 it jumps from 75c to 82c

[narrow hornet]

yo

[frigid blade]

Is that artifacting? What is that

[narrow hornet]

the nvidia app is showing this

what should i do

[harsh whale]

Because your on a laptop?

[narrow hornet]

ohhhhhh

[frigid blade]

Coulda googled that tbh

[narrow hornet]

i thought it means its not connected to any display including my laptops

and i was on intergreated graphics

[harsh whale]

Did you screenshot this on your laptop?

[sinful cobalt]

its prob just the lag lmao

[narrow hornet]

mb

[frigid blade]

I’m just messing with you

[narrow hornet]

yes but my cpu has intergrated graphics

thats why i thought it could be a problem

cos the laptop was using the cpu graphics instead of the gpu

[sinful cobalt]

not prob, it is the lag tbh considering its like sub 20 fps in 3200x2000

[frigid blade]

Did you set it to use GPU?

[narrow hornet]

i haventset anything

[frigid blade]

Usually it’s a setting in game

[narrow hornet]

i got this like 2 hrs ago

i mean, its giving me 4060 performance

im running a 240 hz monitor on max graphics

i doubt intergrated can do that

[frigid blade]

890m has 1650 performance

That’s pretty good

[steel umbra]

there is the new hog
3050 6gb vs apus

[frigid blade]

I was doing the math if I can afford GTA6 when it comes out

Why it so damn expensive

[near crag]

Because people keep buying it

[narrow hornet]

How much

Is it

[sinful cobalt]

more than $1

[frigid blade]

Gonna be around $80-100 apparently

More than that for DLCs

[cosmic stratus]

thats awsome

[winter lantern]

Bro won't have a spare 100$ in 1 year

💔

Unless you need to buy a console too ig

[stiff verge]

thats the surface 4 demo that I was talking about @deep musk

[silk halo]

Is a 2080 ti still good?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[frigid blade]

I have school

That I have to pay for

FAFSA wont cover my uni tuition

[unborn patio]

Any one know any thing about b770 or any b700 serias?

[spring raft]

Anyone know if either of these links are good choices to raise my gpu?

[icy pier]

Rate my custom GPU job

[tribal snow]

how does gtx 1650 users get over 400+ fps on valo when some with a better gpu only get lower

making me wanna buy an gtx 1650 instead of a rx 6600 over budget reasons

only gonna play fps games anyway

[steel umbra]

this reminds me of 60 series asrock cards

[sinful cobalt]

they shift all the load onto the cpu by lowering graphic dettings

[tribal snow]

makes sense, my friend has a 1650 with a r5 5600c

X*

[cosmic stratus]

💯

[icy pier]

wdym 60 series

[sinful cobalt]

6000

[elfin gulch]

card on the right is the gpu i started with, left is the gpu i upgraded to.

[icy pier]

oh wait nvm i get it now]

[ebon marlin]

Lowkey a downgrade

[elfin gulch]

nah, my performance went up by double in 90% of my games

[ebon marlin]

More powerful gpu but less vram which cripples the card when trying to play anything new

[elfin gulch]

its to hold me until i get my hands on a 9070xt

[sinful cobalt]

5060ti 8gb users on pcie 4.0:

[ebon marlin]

I ordered a 5060 Ti 8gb

Should be here on the 12th

[elfin gulch]

like i knew it was 8gb, but i paid 265 for a brand new 3070 so can't complain.

[sinful cobalt]

in any game that eats vram

pcie 5.0 is like 20% faster than 4.0

[ebon marlin]

265 that's not really a great deal

[ebon marlin]

Yum

Luckily my B550 can do pcie 5.0

[elfin gulch]

considering this card cost much more than that, yes it was a great deal. and this is coming from someone who wasted money on a 50 series 💀

[sinful cobalt]

tf b550 with pcie 5.0

what board is that

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/mango-cat-dance-ai-dancing-cat-gif-4373280976266621514

[elfin gulch]

this card brand new goes for more than double of what i paid for it. so yes 265 is a great price.

ignore the bottom 2 cards as thats irrelevant

[sinful cobalt]

because that is all old ass stock

[elfin gulch]

and? they are still costing more than what i paid for mine.

[sinful cobalt]

imma be fr they are prob not meant to be bought

its prob just listed there

a 3070 having less vram than the 1080ti is really an insult

unfortunately 10 series just got their driver support cut, no more driver updates

[solar moat]

the spec gose down to ddr5 3200 but slowest seen on any main stream desktop is ddr5 3600

[elfin gulch]

the 1080ti couldnt run the games i was trying to do, and at the resolution i was attempting

[sinful cobalt]

What game and res?

[elfin gulch]

i knew what i was getting into vram wise anyway. and i chose to go for it becuase it had modern hardware

[sinful cobalt]

I would also make the same decision, if we throw the price outta the window tbh

[elfin gulch]

cyberpunk 1440p, the last of us 1440p, rivals 1440p.

[elfin gulch]

tbf the price is irrelevant at this point

[sinful cobalt]

ur considering going to a 9070xt right?

[elfin gulch]

thats the idea yes.

[sinful cobalt]

if so I wouldve just considered looking at the used market since its just a placeholder till you get that power

but ur money ur choice

[elfin gulch]

i have my money on the xfx 9070xt, once i get that money i will attempt to either go pick one up from MC or order one.

unless another card pops up that manages to be cheaper.

[sinful cobalt]

9070xt gang expanding

[elfin gulch]

i know like 6 people personally who own and tested theres, hence why i want one lool.

[sinful cobalt]

Ive had 5070Ti then the 9070XT, and Ill say it, 50 series drivers craps the bed

also this is not cost effective lmao

[elfin gulch]

so i've heard lol, i have had to help many people with 50 series cards already.

[elfin gulch]

isn't the 4060ti supposed to be 16gb not 8?

[young crest]

no

[sinful cobalt]

theres 8gb and 16gb variants

like the 5060ti

[elfin gulch]

oh well isn't that shit.

[young crest]

5060 should’ve been 12 5060ti should’ve only been 16

[latent pasture]

the 5060ti 16g is good if u find it at its msrp (aka never)

[sinful cobalt]

5070 shouldve been 20
5070ti shouldve been 24
5080 shldve been 28
5090 shouldve been 69

[young crest]

[elfin gulch]

heres how i see it

5090---> 32gb
5080---> 24gb
5070---> 16gb
5060---> 12gb

[young crest]

Some sort of a 5050/5050ti could’ve been acceptable with only 8 but ehhhhh

[sinful cobalt]

5070 super rumoured to be 18gb so yea

[latent pasture]

we need to collectively whip samsung into shape so they get prod on 3 and 4gb vram chips

its been a decade of 1 and 2gb vram chips

[elfin gulch]

it just seems like the only reasonable way they should have made the vram on these cards tbh

[sinful cobalt]

blackwell supposed to have good OC headroom, just that they were limited for the super series is what it looks like to me

get warshipped lmao

[elfin gulch]

fix the drivers first.

[limber nacelle]

people need to stop sucking off the 1080ti, it really ain't all that anymore

nevermind the driver support

it's just.... hasn't been that good for like, 5 years now

[elfin gulch]

oh i am aware of that. I upgraded for multiple reasons.

[latent pasture]

ye lmao
even the piddle rx 6600 beats it a lot of the time solely off the newer drivers

[limber nacelle]

it got matched by a lower mid end card FIVE years ago

FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO

[junior valve]

2080 s?

[limber nacelle]

iirc it's somewhere between a 3060 and 3060ti & the 6600 / XT

[young crest]

Rx 6600 beats a lot of 20 series cards Im not surprised

My Radeon VII is only 10% faster than it

[elfin gulch]

my 3070 rips it to shreds in raw performance 🤣

[junior valve]

no shit

[limber nacelle]

i mean yeah, it's about a 2080ti

[sinful cobalt]

im not saying the 1080ti is the most goated or its trash but its really disappointing that a 3070 only had 8 gigs, while some smartass at nvidia designed the 3060 V1 to get 12

[elfin gulch]

i will still keep my 1080ti as its only worth like what 150 bucks at best

[limber nacelle]

the 1080ti was good when it came out, it was OK 5 years after it came out, it's irrelevant nearly a decade later

[limber nacelle]

because the 3060 was originally supposed to get 6gb....

and it was cheaper to ship it with 12 than rectify it with 8 until way later

[sinful cobalt]

yeah 3060 V1 somehow getting 12 rubs salt into the wound

[limber nacelle]

it's not somehow, it's typical nvidia greed

[young crest]

3050 type beat

[limber nacelle]

they realized late that 6gb just wasn't sufficient

[junior valve]

this gotta affect my performance somehow

[young crest]

So they saved it for later to kneecap a different card

[latent pasture]

the 3060 which now has 8gb

[ivory sorrel]

Is that dust?

[limber nacelle]

^

[elfin gulch]

they gave the 4050 6gb as well

[young crest]

The 3050 which had 8gb and was more powerful

Now has 6

[junior valve]

yes

[limber nacelle]

is that not a mobile chip...?

[ivory sorrel]

Yeah that’ll affect performance

[junior valve]

yes

[limber nacelle]

mobile chips usually get a triffling amount of vram, this is nothing new

[limber nacelle]

hey the 6gb ain't all that bad

[junior valve]

much slower than the desktop counterpart too

[elfin gulch]

its mobile only yes

[thorn pewter]

They only 6 gig 3050 I can think of is the awful yeston pink 3050 single slot one lol

[ivory sorrel]

I read this and thought you meant smartphone chip and I was so confused

[limber nacelle]

at least it comes with no external power usually

[latent pasture]

they standardized it with laptops
newer laptop 3050s now have that same chip with 6gb instead of the ultrash with 4gb and -20% cuda cores
from that perspective 3050 became much better

[young crest]

At work we do not sell an insignificant of 3050 6gigs in desktops lol

[junior valve]

slower than a gtx 780ti

[ivory sorrel]

Laptops also have terrible thermals

Keyboard is the approximate temperature of a frying pan

[latent pasture]

wouldnt say that
even the old worse 3050 4gb laptop was on par with like desktop rx 580 assuming its in a laptop that can fully power it
unless 780ti performs around this lvl too?

[thorn pewter]

@limber nacelle hii how are you🙏

[limber nacelle]

hey

is the foot ok?

[junior valve]

not even close to a 580

[thorn pewter]

Yah thankfully it ain't hurt no more

[limber nacelle]

let's goooo

[latent pasture]

daily reminder that tpu doesnt upgrade their main graph below the 2080ti

[ivory sorrel]

Aww, I was about to offer an affordable amputation

[limber nacelle]

rightfully so

[junior valve]

what else is outthere
