sure with none AAA that can work

sly epoch
#

how do I make it not grayed out?

mint umbra
#

But most AAA games 60 fps will still draw alot of power

fallow yacht
#

why not

mint umbra
#

With 4k resolution

fallow yacht
#

my browser is still safari

frail delta
#

Exactly

mint umbra
#

Show bench mark with 4k resolution

fallow yacht
# frail delta Exactly

i just want my tabs to not be there everytime i exit and come back which safari doesn't do

frail delta
tidal geyser
#

Why does it not want to send my photos

#

Wtf

fallow yacht
mint umbra
#

I'll just get 5070

frail delta
mint umbra
#

It's 250w

tidal geyser
#

Normal vs rt

tidal geyser
mint umbra
#

Too expensive

#

It's like 2k-3k cad for gaming laptop

tidal geyser
#

Ok get a 4060

#

One of the most efficient gpus money can buy

mint umbra
#

I don't see issue with 5070

tidal geyser
#

I do

#

Unstable drivers and low low low vram

latent pasture
#

especially since theyre playing at 4k lmao

fallow yacht
tidal geyser
#

12GB for 4k

latent pasture
#

so 5060ti 16gb

mint umbra
#

Will change to 1440p

tidal geyser
#

Why not just do it with your current gpu

mint umbra
#

With that GPU

latent pasture
jaunty sigil
#

yo can someone help me with a taskbar problem

tidal geyser
#

No

latent pasture
#

bruh if u just came out at the start and said u want nvidia gpu cuz ur friends have nvidia gpu no need to make up 30 rounds of lies

minor cove
#

cranking resolution alone typically isn't gonna use a lot more VRAM but when crank resolution might want to crank texture quality and that will use it

mint umbra
#

I'm not lying

latent pasture
#

so put an fps cap with ur current gpu

mint umbra
#

And nivida has better upscaling so won't need to make GPU work as hard

tidal geyser
#

So why not just do 1440p on your current gpu

tidal geyser
mint umbra
#

So do I

#

Dlss is better than far

tidal geyser
#

Far

mint umbra
#

Fsr

tidal geyser
#

It's fine

tidal geyser
#

Yes yes even if your gpu is just a ai accelerator ofc it will be better but fsr is still plenty good

latent pasture
#

watch them sell the xtx and find out the leaks of fsr4 on rdna3 are real lmao

tidal geyser
#

No

mint umbra
#

With 5070 it won't go higher than 250w

tidal geyser
#

I swear it's possible to make a xtx do the same

mint umbra
#

I don't trust it considering it used to have idel power draw issue

tidal geyser
minor cove
latent pasture
tidal geyser
#

Your arguments make no sense

mint umbra
#

Before a driver update my GPU was pulling like 200w idel

tidal geyser
#

No

latent pasture
#

bruh nvidia has an ONGOING driver issues

tidal geyser
#

Nobody ever had 200w

latent pasture
mint umbra
#

Wdym no it's my fking GPU

tidal geyser
#

100w was the max then for me I now have 50w and tpu has 20w or less

latent pasture
#

cmon man just admit it that ur getting nvidia cuz ur friends have nvidia

mint umbra
#

Who are you to tell me what my gpu as doing

#

What do you live in my house

tidal geyser
#

Another owner of a xtx

#

Also a tech bro

mint umbra
#

Not every xtx is built the same

tidal geyser
#

#

Silicon lottery

tidal geyser
#

Not how that works

mint umbra
#

Whatever brother trying to tell me I'm wrong on how my system was running

tidal geyser
#

Maybe it was the entire pc using 200w?

#

Imagine if he added a extra zero

kindred halo
#

I have no idea what any of these except bearing & RPM mean (and material).. Are these okay specs for an air cooler?

When I played witcher 3 I had crashes like every hour

When the next gen update dropped

watch them say that their drivers r like 24.3something

and the GPU.

mint umbra
#

I'm only one driver update behind

tidal geyser
latent pasture

Idk the number mate

tidal geyser

Go into adrenalin

mint umbra
#

I'm not turning on my PC to check driver update version

#

It's 6 am

I should really be asleep rn

tidal geyser

Yeah when I wake up I like turning on my pc so I can get some work done

Also had issues with ff7 revirth

minor cove
#

it can always be worse (regarding drivers), not trying to get in the middle of slap fight here but 85-90C is sort of normal "peak temps" when pushing whatever computer hardware

mint umbra
#

With drivers timeouts

#

And some ai thing I was trying to play around with said it only supported cuda

#

Which was a shame

minor cove
#

most everything uses pytorch and pytorch uses CUDA so that is the case often times when trying to run local models

#

can run things on CPU but is like hundreds to thousands of times slower which is ya know, rough

mint umbra
#

Yeah

gloomy sleet
tidal geyser
mint umbra
#

Was watching video guides on ai stuff and always use CUDA programs

minor cove
tidal geyser
#

Ofc

#

But we have rocm and zluda

#

So it can at least be run

mint umbra

Does 5000 gpu still have stock issues

#

the cpu might be fine
the gpu tho

tidal geyser
#

You do know there are dual fan xtx cards

muted quarry
mint umbra
#

Wonder if I wasted money buying such expensive cpu at 4k when it feels like most games are gpu limited

#

Feel like I could have just gotten a 7600 st the time

tidal geyser
#

Yes

mint umbra
#

Instead of 7800x3d

tidal geyser
#

I probs told you to go for a 7600

mint umbra
#

I never asked

#

Might just go back to 1080p to lower thermals

tidal geyser
#

Still funny a 7600 is good enough that a guy with 2 13900k cpus was very very happy with it at 4k

latent pasture
#

the funniest part was they were planning to replace their xtx with 5090

What's pint in these x3d chips then

That was in the winter

Like does a 7600 vs a 9800x3d gunna make a huge difference

Ask the other Michael about it too

pseudo linden

i had some pc problems and deleted and reinstalled some things and now my monitor speakers dont show up or nothing. only my headphones

tidal geyser
muted quarry
mint umbra
#

Like every cpu benchmark I see is at 1080p

#

And always games like ff14 and csgo

Csgo is dead

technically i don't need X399, but if i already got it back in 2018...
one GPU (but i could drop that if i get a new system with IGP), ConnectX-3 card, LSI HBA. But in modern boards, even two PCIe slots are a miracle πŸ˜„

#

and when they got more slots, they are a joke, like this board

#

that is one x16 electrical and 3x x1 electrical πŸ˜„

#

MSI even worse, that is four x1 slots masked as x16 πŸ˜„

tidal geyser

minor cove
# mint umbra Like it's a bit better looking but nothing too crazy

Games often going to re-use concepts or might even re-use some original model files, but the game engine is the meat of the system that handles taking whatever assets and making the game work/calculating physics/lighting/inputs etc. so change that one part is change everything. Saw some folks recently trash talking Unreal Engine 5, which is fine whatever people like to talk trash, but can tell they are folks who have never tried to use a game engine first hand or have any idea about what they're saying.

brave brook
#

also when did ASUS launch a white board ?

tidal geyser
#

In a perfect world I would want something like 4-5 m.2 slots and 8-10 sata slots with a x4 slot and a x16 slot

minor cove
#

Same for desktop machine here, upgraded the m.2 from 1TB to 4TB so much more spacious πŸ˜„

brave brook
#

this one is at least somewhat reasonable

tidal geyser
brave brook
#

x16, x4, x1, x1, plus three M.2 slots (5.0 x4, 4.0 x4, 4.0 x2)

Hello there good people, i git myself a 5070ti and i have an old BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 1 1 750W. My question is since the PSU delivers over a 12 Pin PSU connecter 12V at 62A which is the 300W. It splits to 2 (6+2) cables would would fit in the adapter of the Graphics card? Is it the correct way to install the GPU or do i need to use two seperatr 12 pin PSU cables?

tidal geyser
#

He said he wants a single player game aka a game that is only is single player

You don't benefit from it in any way compared to a nice Gen4 drive.

#

PC won't boot faster, games won't load faster, but if you like taking benchmark screenshots to brag, that's about the only thing they do

So I am planning on buying stuff for a Minecraft server as well as a PC I will play from I was originally thinking to get a 5700x3d for the one I play on but wouldny that be better on the servers?

tidal geyser
#

In so many ways

tender badger
#

Why?

tidal geyser
#

And for minecraft it's single core clock speeds that matter

tender badger
#

What's the best bang for your buck cpu for server hosting?

rose stream
#

Server MC I've heard so far prefers more cores/threads than client does unless you're running older versions.

tender badger
#

Especially if your running paper which adds asynchronous multi-core/threaded world gen

rose stream
#

Or any derivative of it, yeah.

tender badger
#

Also 3d v cache is very helpful for chunk loading

#

So I would think that the 5700x3d would excel in a modern MC environment

rose stream
#

Eehhh only on client from what I can tell when it comes to performance.

tender badger
#

Oh

#

I think other than raw performance 3d v cache makes chunk gen/render way faster tho too

rose stream
#

I know a guy who's been extensively testing server hosts for videos (CygnusMC) and from what's been found, X3D doesn't do much for Minecraft servers.

tender badger
#

Oh

rose stream
#

So it's just client side where you'll see a difference.

tender badger
#

Ok

#

What's a good cpu for server hosting then?

#

Most intensive thing ATM 10 with 3 people

inner veldt
#

Can I fit RM1000X 2024 non shift into 207?

rose stream
# tender badger Most intensive thing ATM 10 with 3 people

I've heard 3 to 4 cores is doable with lower than 10 people, though if you do a lot of stuff at once (including mods and such), go with a cpu with about 6 cores at the most. More than that only makes sense when you're handling larger crowds.

tender badger
#

Am4 or am5?

#

Any differences which may benefit server

rose stream
tender badger
#

It's a mini PC equipped with 6 cores and 12 threads

rose stream
#

Of course this is only with the standard cpus. The APUs might be better or worse, I'm actually not sure.

# tidal geyser Wat

Remember the whole debacle with the reliability of 14th gen cpus for servers a while ago?

Apparently, 5000 series turned out to be the worst of the few modern ones for that space, all besides 11th Gen cpus, if you're using consumer class ones for such.

tender badger
#

Didn't the 14900ks have a bunch of problems

#

Also thats expensive as hell

frigid blade
#

Are you talking about the degrading issues that were fixed by microcode?

tender badger
#

Oh

frigid blade
#

That was 13th and 14th gen, not limited to i9

tender badger
#

I just heard it go around didn't know the problem glad to hear it's fixed

#

Still not paying 500 for a used 14900ks

frigid blade
#

If the CPU has degraded it can't be fixed, but it stops further degrading

tender badger
#

That's my budget for my personal pc

frigid blade
tidal geyser
#

Just get a 14700k or 12700k or something or just a 7600

frigid blade
tender badger

For my PC what if I get this and hook up a GPU?

Hey fellas!
I'm sorry to bother, but I wanted to request your aid in my first pc building journey:)
As of now, my build is:

GPU - Sapphire RX 9070 XT Nitro +

MOBO - ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi

CPU - Ryzen 7 7800x3d

CPU Cooler - Phantom Spirit EVO 120

Ram - kingston ddr5 6000 cas 36 4x16

SSD - Ediloca EN870 2TB nvme

PSU - Corsair RM850x

Monitor - Dell Alienware AW3423DWF

However, I'm clueless about the case...
I prefer smtg that is relativly cheap (sub 120 usd)
any suggestions?

I just heard a pop from my pc and it won't turn on and most of the wall sockets stopped working. I also noticed a smell from the psu compartment. Could that be the issue and what are the chances everything else is damaged?

# mint umbra Depends on how long after cut

ok lets try that again

A finger can be easily reattached if the cut is clean and not completely mangled.

If he was assessed & still had to wait, that's because
A: the bleeding was under control
B: the severed finger had little chance to be reattached in a manner to retain useful functionality

Also, did yall even ice the fkn removed finger??

the X + 4 dots is nonesense it may trap some air, at that point just spread the paste with a spatula

I have built a PC with B660M Pro Rs with intel i5 12400F and Arc B580. I did not realise it doesn’t have in built wifi and Bluetooth. I have been using a lan cable to connect the system to internet and using wired Xbox controllers for gaming. However, it’s clumsy and I want to switch to a wireless setup for both internet and gaming controller.

What WiFi + Bluetooth card would you recommend? Or should I go with a dongle instead?

Quick question. Does thermal paste get dryer or degrade in the tube over time? I've got some Crucial paste thats pretty old at this point and I need to do a repaste on a couple of my devices pretty soon. Didn't know if I should ditch it for a tried and true or just use the rest of it, its kind of a pain to spread.
