[abstract wigeon]

great sucess

[azure topaz]

as long as you don’t cut heatpipes that’s fine

[kindred halo]

Also this is probably going to just hold common files for my brother & his coworkers' git/commit and stuff
So not much high power usage

[azure topaz]

then your 4570 would do fine

[kindred halo]

Verstanden

[azure topaz]

does that mean understood i’m regarded

[upper wave]

I might just try another comapnies visualizer app

[kindred halo]

Your?
Sir it's even worse, 4460 </3

[azure topaz]

same shit different refresh

[kindred halo]

Mhm, don't worry you're disregarded

[elder quarry]

Is that the x99 stuff

[azure topaz]

yes

[kindred halo]

Anyway yeah I think I'll just stick to 8400 & 16-32GB

[azure topaz]

alternatively called c612 for servers

which is literally the same cjopset

[kindred halo]

Would it make a difference between HDD / SSD on this during server use

[azure topaz]

you can even still overclock on c612

[kindred halo]

Ofcourse the boot is going to be an NVMe if possible

[elder quarry]

Why

[tidal geyser]

nau

[azure topaz]

you’ll probably need a card

[kindred halo]

Card?

[elder quarry]

How benchmark

[azure topaz]

like a pcie x4 to nvme 4x

[kindred halo]

Ooh

[tidal geyser]

benchmark?

[elder quarry]

Or just sata… thats plenty for git

[azure topaz]

stuff from pre 6th gen is almost guaranteed not to have nvme

[kindred halo]

Well, 8th gen and up have PCIe x4 slots

[tidal geyser]

other then that motherboard that was now updated to do so

[azure topaz]

oh my fault this is for the 8th disregard

[kindred halo]

I don't want to use pre 6th except for doohickey machines tbh

[elder quarry]

Is it possible to do that without ja king eith other operating systems? Benchmark hypervisor

[azure topaz]

nah you can do it on anything as long as it’s got usb boot

[kindred halo]

I am not turning my 4460 into a server

That thing deserves to rest

[tidal geyser]

I KNOW but not on that one motherboard

[azure topaz]

which?

[tidal geyser]

ehhhhh

[tidal geyser]

it was on tech quicky

[azure topaz]

i was surprised to find out my precision supports pcie boot

[tidal geyser]

forgor what it was but i think it was a 4th gen one or was it even older

[azure topaz]

i don’t even need to use the USB chip

[azure topaz]

although my haswell mini pc has nvme slots

[tidal geyser]

o it was tech linked

[azure topaz]

although it doesn’t support nvme boot you can do the usb trick with it(i literally did that)

[tidal geyser]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/motherboards/sandy-bridge-era-motherboard-gains-m-2-ssd-boot-support-12-years-after-launch-first-new-bios-in-a-decade-for-decommissioned-motherboard

[azure topaz]

i think this is for if you don’t want to do the USB method

i think they updated it to support pcie booting

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[azure topaz]

i was talking with the method

[kindred halo]

@azure topaz
Sooo
Mp33l TLC 256GB NVMe + WD 1TB HDD?

[azure topaz]

works

i’d try to find a 500gb boot drive. games suck on hdd

[kindred halo]

I can't really find MLC, and SLC would be too expensive

[tidal geyser]

no

[azure topaz]

tlc is optimal

[kindred halo]

It's a git/commit server

[tidal geyser]

MLC and SLC for anything consumer is dumb

[azure topaz]

ah ah i keep getting mixed up i’m sorry

[kindred halo]

For my own personal machine I am running a Lexar 1TB drive

[azure topaz]

slay

[kindred halo]

Don't be, I get it :3

[kindred halo]

Well not RIGHT now, right now I am currently running nothing lmao

Disassembled the PSU, so the 240GB SATA & 2009 Dell HDD are just sitting there

[empty quartz]

:3’ing rn

[kindred halo]

That damm 7200 spinner is older than me

The second I can I am moving everything on it on a new spinner

[empty quartz]

@kindred halo heres the hdd in my imac

[kindred halo]

Yummy
WD brand drive

[azure topaz]

crazy to me that mac can kinda feel okay on a hdd

[kindred halo]

Holy shit it's 2006

[azure topaz]

i have a 1tb hdd from 2008 in perfect health

[kindred halo]

That's 5 years older than me Jesus H. Christ </3

[azure topaz]

(cause it was hardly used)

[empty quartz]

This re2 is as old as me, and still works like brand new

[kindred halo]

I always hear this shit about HDDs being unreliable for long term but your drives are like almost 2 decades old

What gives

[kindred halo]

</3

[empty quartz]

Yeah, im old 😔

[kindred halo]

Tfym old </3 - 2006 isn't even 2 decades ago

[empty quartz]

1.9 decades

[kindred halo]

Holy shite on a shitestick I just found the best deal for a 2TB HDD in my life

Seagate 2TB spinner for 35 pre tax

[empty quartz]

L

[kindred halo]

So around 39 total I think

[kindred halo]

Shit costs like 55 average here

[empty quartz]

@kindred halo i paid $15 cad for my 2012 hitachi ultrastar

Old issue with it is that because its a 16 head enterprise hdd, its loud as fuck

[empty quartz]

2tb*

[kindred halo]

Okay wow

Used market?

[empty quartz]

Yeah

I got it from freegeek vancouver before they closed down

[keen folio]

could it be that my cpu wont go under 45°C in idle cuz of the OC i applied within AMD Radeon Software? i used this Auto OC feature

[kindred halo]

Oh clearance sale too lol

Lemme check my used market

[glad fog]

45c idle is not bad

[keen folio]

it used to be around 30 35

[glad fog]

i idle at 60c with a 5800x3d

well, idle being browser open

[keen folio]

xD i got nothing open except HWmonitor

[kindred halo]

Just found a 2TB for 10 USD

Seagate drive

[empty quartz]

Unless its an enterprise drive, avoid used hdd’s

[kindred halo]

I don't want to get used anyway

[empty quartz]

@kindred halo

8x16gb ddr3, 2x xeon x5675’s, 2x rx 570’s, 4x 1tb hdd’s (raid 10, so its only 2tb)

And a 1tb ssd for a boot drive

I have no idea how much a system like this would’ve cost

Not counting the rx 570’s since those are much newer than the rest of the system

[oak trail]

After i changed thermal paste my pc wont show screen but lamps start, fans etc

i dont have intergrated graphichs only graphichs card,

i tried replugging the card but dosnt do anything, tried clear cmos wont work, tried different ram wont work

[elder quarry]

Furry

[empty quartz]

Says the furry

[elder quarry]

Yeah I cracked my egg too pey ton found it

[empty quartz]

[elder quarry]

here

[empty quartz]

I love how i saw a message from me saying “ratio”

[elder quarry]

Hm?

[empty quartz]

^

@elder quarry

[elder quarry]

You’ve said that 49 times

Ohh

Ah

[kindred halo]

Honestly I like how servers look

[kindred halo]

Yeah?

[empty quartz]

Mac pro

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/mishachu-cat-squish-mishasquish-gif-26167240

[kindred halo]

:3

[kindred halo]

Makes sense

ANYWAY SO
Proposed git/videogame server specs:

[empty quartz]

Hallmark movie

[elder quarry]

Test

[kindred halo]

I5 8400, 32GB at 2666MHz, 256GB TLC MP33L booter, 2TB Seagate HDD (new), GTX 1060 6gb / RX 570/580 2x

Okay is a dual GPU that necessary

[hallow jasper]

Congrats, you've devised a midrange gaming PC from 2017

[kindred halo]

Because I can barely find any dual PCIe slot motherboards

[kindred halo]

Lmao

OOOOO guess what I just found

@empty quartz

I can throw a 7700 into this easily

[abstract wigeon]

i think my brother has the am4 version of this or something very similar

an ugly beast of a board

[tidal geyser]

good luck in a few months unless this is what i hope it is for (a server)

[kindred halo]

It looks fineeee

[kindred halo]

It is - theoretical one

I wouldn't go below 8th gen for my own uses

[tidal geyser]

ngl the only thing i can really see anything before 8th gen and ryzen 2000 is only for a server

[kindred halo]

• I am hardset on 13400F + RX 6700 XT

[kindred halo]

Yeah?
I am not dropping any GPU that's PCIe 4.0 into this, probably just 570/580s or 1060s

[tidal geyser]

what why

[hallow jasper]

You strike me as a "forever builder"

[kindred halo]

Server

[hallow jasper]

constantly talking about this oddball builds that never go anywhere

[tidal geyser]

that makes it even worse kinda

[kindred halo]

I am waiting till I can get my own proper machine

Then I can shut up about building

[kindred halo]

Oh

[tidal geyser]

at least i swapped my 7940x server for a 11900 and saved so much power that the ENTIRE 11900 AND HDDs use as much as the cpu and mobo alone on the old boy

aka 11900 with HDDs kinda just done built is like 75w
7940x was like 130-200w+

[kindred halo]

It's more of something to have silly fun with rather than anything serious

[sharp ivy]

I have been summoned

[elder quarry]

:3

[peak knot]

My oddball builds are just masterpieces of cursed

[sharp ivy]

Ooop gtg now

[tidal geyser]

ngl im considering buying like 10 or 5 phanteks xt pro ultras

[elder quarry]

Yee

[random gyro]

i use an amd gpu 😭 no wonder my fps is so shit

[tidal geyser]

eh?
it beats a 5080

well on par with a 5080 if you have the 9070 xt

look at this shit

[random gyro]

im on 6900xt

[tidal geyser]

welp then you are ONLY on par with a 5060 ti

[random gyro]

im on 1440p ultra nightmare preset so im getting 65 fps

[tidal geyser]

dat 1440p

[random gyro]

hey nice my oc is doing good

omg its using 20gb of ram 😭

[elder quarry]

Use Linux

[random gyro]

i have 64

[random gyro]

im okay

[tidal geyser]

i have 96GB :3

[random gyro]

W ram amounts

[tidal geyser]

only 6000MT smh

[rapid quarry]

I still have 16 gigs of RAM on my desktop. One of these days I’ll double it

[elder quarry]

How about quad

[rapid quarry]

Only with your credit card

[true stirrup]

Imagine only 6400MT/s smh

[mint umbra]

what a solid laptop for streaming videos and some lite gaming

with decent battery life

[mint umbra]

but not apple

[fringe prairie]

slim 7i aura

omnibook ultra flip

[random gyro]

@true stirrup doom dark ages on nightmare 😭

[mint umbra]

saw the slim aura but only could find it in 16gb of ram

wouldnt that be an issue down the line

since its soldered

[fringe prairie]

id go 32 ideally

[mint umbra]

one the Lenovo website couldnt find the 32gb model

[tidal geyser]

you only have one stick of ram

[mint umbra]

will the screen look bad since its IPS and not oled like other models

[true stirrup]

I really need to buy a second one

[true stirrup]

[crimson temple]

https://www.amazon.com/Asiahorse-Extension-1x24-PIN-2x8-PORT-3x8-PORT/dp/B08KCSZHDX?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

will this work with 5070ti + b850

heard 5070ti uses diff ports now

ok nvm

[solid crown]

it truely is a switcheroo, nvidia with the bad drivers and the fine wine effect when they improve them over time

[tidal geyser]

the issue is that amd cards never really did at semi large scale brick or semi brick themselves

[solid crown]

I thought they sorted out the bricking issue

[tidal geyser]

hahhahaha

good joke

no no there is more of it happening now

hmmmm im looking at a i9 9900k and 2080 ti pc for 500$

looks like ass, ngl considering spending 100$ on a phanteks xt pro ultra then deep cleaning and repasting everything in it and then selling it for like 700-800$

hx 1050

[lethal bay]

flipping is cringe

[tidal geyser]

well eating is fun also roof

but no the thing i keep saying is that i DO NOT want to flip i NEED to do MASSIVE changes

a fuck it was not considering buying it as i am not drowning in cash

buuuuut its too good to let up

or not welp im too poor

[rigid fjord]

the 4tb one is $249 but it's the ideal drive for gaming tbh, at 2tb i'd sooner look at a mp44l or sn580 tbh

[rigid fjord]

this case would be ideal to turn into a nas dude

[tidal geyser]

AAAAAA you are making me want it mor

welp f it ama buy it lucky for me i will get money just in time anyways

[rigid fjord]

i could see you putting in around 8-12 hdd's and double that in ssd's

[neat flame]

id buy it bro

whats the ram

[tidal geyser]

32GB

[neat flame]

not bad

[tidal geyser]

welp only a few days left and i can use more then like 500$ on my main card

[neat flame]

i9 9900k is equal to a 12400 right

or am i wrong

[tidal geyser]

well yea ish or 12100

[rigid fjord]

12100 beats it in single core tbf

[neat flame]

oh dang

[tidal geyser]

WELP fuck it transferring the 500$ now and then buying the puter tomorrow

[rigid fjord]

yeah, none of that +++++ bullshit intel used to do

[tidal geyser]

rent is 8500

well ama need to sell even more stuff

END MEEEEEEEEEE

[barren mist]

was not the 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

good luck

[barren mist]

thanks hopefully my house doesn’t burn down

[tidal geyser]

no not THAT issue the other ones

[hexed tapir]

Hope you have stable drivers

[tidal geyser]

welp in case this happens again i will save up 1000000000$ just in case so i can buy anything, but no i will defo start selling of as much as i own

I have too many shitty PSUs

[frail topaz]

well.

[tidal geyser]

linux

torrenting

[hexed tapir]

Sell them as a bundle to ltt, like they did for the broken parts PC 😆

[abstract wigeon]

home come nvidia is so bad/amd so good in this game? are nvidia drivers that bad

[trim gyro]

how the turns have tabled

[eternal thunder]

Is the ASUS ROG Strix G16 G615LR-MS97 a good deal for 1999.99 Micro center has a sale on it rn and i cant decide if its worth it? also is it a MC exclusive because that specific model isn't on the rog or ASUS website?

[steel umbra]

some games favor amd gpus and some nvidia

[lethal bay]

you have it backwards for that game specifically lol

[minor cove]

Nvidia has been ahead for a while now both in terms of raw GPU power and creating CUDA to allow devs to more easily use the massively parallel operations, led to pytorch (wrapper/bindings for CUDA from python to underlying C++ sdk). Old neural networks consequently got ported to run on pytorch (largely) hence all the AI buzz, neural networks became more usable with "big data" and massively parallel processing. ATI has been the "underdog" for since the late 90s (or at least by 2006 when bought by amd) generally means going to be better price to performance, it varies one generation to another but is the general trend.

Generally speaking amd/ati better power efficiency, better cost to performance, Intel and Nvidia higher overall cost higher power draw/heat but peak performance is best (changed over time some where amd high core count makes up for lower overall top end clock speeds).

[lone fractal]

Could I get some recommendations for an air cooler for my future Ryzen 5 7600x?

[oblique hill]

Anyone has expirience with Synology's RackStations? Im thinking of getting a RS819

[tidal geyser]

this is so dumb, its cheaper to buy a brand new ssd that is a whole TB over a very used 512GB ssd, and yes yes qlc shit bla bla bla but meh

[tawny lava]

Is this monitor still good or should i pay a little more for MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED or Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q

[tidal geyser]

@rigid fjord im doing it, ama buy a fkn QLC ssd

[rigid fjord]

don't do it dude, you may face shrinkages and headaches

[lethal bay]

Basically any dual tower cooler on the market lmao

[tidal geyser]

huh might buy some SSDs from proshop but cases from komplett

im running out of all parts

[sharp ivy]

I know it's the obvious choice, but: https://www.thermalright.com/product/peerless-assassin-120-se-argb/

[lone fractal]

Same one I put in. Thank you

[tidal geyser]

i need more ram, PSUs, especially gpus, and storage, but i have lots of motherboards

most of the AM4 ones are missing cpus

[tawny lava]

Does anyone know

[tidal geyser]

o well ama sleep on it and get it next week

[odd marsh]

get whatever is cheapest

[sinful cobalt]

I have a good idea, lets slap a LP cooler on the 9950x3d

Some guy with a creative ass inventor’s mind probably did it before

[lethal bay]

Probably fine on eco mode

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Viper-Pro-Ultra-lightweight-HyperPolling/dp/B0CSPN2G5Z
Are either worth it?
Coming from a Model O wired, I tried a g502 wireless and hated it

Afew people discouraged the viper v2 pro and said it beaks easily, others just said "no" without reasoning. And suggested the Viper V3 pro instead and said "it's much better", "it has a new shape" but cost wise it's £130 compared to £79

[lethal bay]

Nvidia GPUs are wildly more efficent than AMD...

[oblique jay]

My inital budget was roughly £80 as I dont play competetive but also want something that's good and will last.
I have £60 amazon credit so takes away from the cost a little as well

[steel umbra]

check out chinesium stuff 🇨🇳

[sinful cobalt]

tbh if we’re comparing 7000 and before yes

9070XT and 5070Ti pretty much consume the same power

[lethal bay]

what does the 9070XT draw

[sinful cobalt]

304w base same with the 5070ti

and no im not counting those 4 watts for any difference lmao

depending on how you tune the card both eat 230-250w with a UV

[strange atlas]

Okay apparently if one molex fan leds broke all of them brakes

i unplugged two of them now lights works again

[strange atlas]

but i think i'm gonna overheat

[strange atlas]

have you seen power spikes on 9070xt 😄

On stock scenario its gone up to 623 watt on somebody that i was building pc for

[sinful cobalt]

yes, ive seen mine spike to 440w using Pbios (330w) and +10% PL (equalling to 364w)

[sinful cobalt]

this is just 1 game?

[sinful cobalt]

whats the context behind the graph btw

whys a 5070 eating 324w here

[steel umbra]

i believe it’s total system draw

[plain cypress]

Feedback for HUB: if it's total system power it should say that on the chart

[sinful cobalt]

whys 5080 all the way at the bottom LMAO

bottom in power*

[steel umbra]

i dunno error?

[sinful cobalt]

sorry but im gonna have to invalidate this data chart for this, the data im seeing here is hella wonky

[strange atlas]

is getting electrocuted dangerous? mid amount of electrocution not too extreme but sometimes it burns where i touch

[sinful cobalt]

unless this is power spikes

[sinful cobalt]

short answer: yes

[strange atlas]

hmm

what could cause on my body?

[sinful cobalt]

Would you like to try for yourself?

[strange atlas]

cancer?

[sinful cobalt]

idk maybe dying

[strange atlas]

i mean everyday i'm getting electrocuted thats why i am asking

[sinful cobalt]

getting paralysed

[strange atlas]

i have none branded psu with bad case

[strange atlas]

hmmm

[sinful cobalt]

what kinda stupid question is getting electrocuted in all honesty

[strange atlas]

problem is i'm not touching live wire or anything

[steel umbra]

idk this feels like some sort of appealing to ignorance, even other reviewers will tell you the 9070xt draws more than a 5070 ti

[strange atlas]

I'm just toucing the case

[sinful cobalt]

in gaming stock the 5070ti draws less than 9070xt

9070xt is a card that you need to tune

the 5070ti stock draws like 250w+ in gaming while the XT easily hits 300w

But if you properly tune both cards with a UV, in this situation my 9070xt, I’ve managed to get stock performance at 231w with some rare spikes to 250

[steel umbra]

i meant 9070 xt draws more

my brain

[sinful cobalt]

Whereas on the 5070ti it also drops to 230w area with a UV

[sinful cobalt]

no no, it is my fault for not explaining properly

[steel umbra]

so you can do with a 5070 ti…

the undervolting argument does not hold when you’re undervolting only the underdog

[sinful cobalt]

^

[oblique jay]

[sinful cobalt]

unless yw me to add the warning: This is based on personal experience, results may vary across different systems and silicone chips

[steel umbra]

it can do 200w btw

[sinful cobalt]

I know, for some reason AMD doesnt allow a PL below -30%

[solid crown]

bro what amd is way less power efficient??

[sinful cobalt]

thats AI generated

ok it might not be AI generated but the way its structured it sounds like chatgpt shat that out and it got processed through another AI

[oblique jay]

Hows the Logitech G Pro X Superlight over the viper v2 / v3 pro? the superlight is 89.99, v2 pro 79.50 and v3 pro 130

[sinful cobalt]

try the mice for themself if u can

its mainly about ur type of grip and which suits best

[oblique jay]

Im coming from a model o wired, which suits me fine but dont want to re-order as it died on my only 1y past RMA and their support are shit

g502 wireless wasn't for me, I returned that

The superlight, v3 pro and model o all seem roughly identical in size / length, although the v3 pro is a bit more than I was hoping to spend. the suepr light is a little over budget but more willing to pay that price than the v3 pro

[sinful cobalt]

Do you mind a lighter chassis?

[oblique jay]

I can't say for sure if I'd prefer it or not, as long as it's not super fragile I dont see why it wouldnt be an issue

[sinful cobalt]

I’d suggest trying the lamzu maya if thats possible

quite similar shape to the above

[oblique jay]

So unless I just buy once and cry once for the viper v3 pro if it's really worth it, unless there's something else I can go for. I dont game competitively but still play some stuff like fortnite occasionally with friends, rarley bo6 but would play a new release

I asked AI earlier what it thinks my grip looks like on the model o and it said "relaxed / palmed claw"

Bonus to ordering on amazon, as mentioned i have £60 credit

Apparently the viper v3 pro would be a better fit based on the "relaxed / palmed claw" that I was using on my current mouse

Just more than I was hoping to spend

[lethal bay]

Attack Shark R6 dude

Beats the shit out of my Viper V2 Pro at like half the price

[lethal bay]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/EWEADN-R6-LIGHTSPEED-Nordic52840-Programmable-White/dp/B0DJ8CRZFH

[oblique jay]

Whats the difference?

[lethal bay]

basically none, they just have a few different variants

Just pick the color you want tbh

[oblique jay]

Just curious cos one is white and 59.99 called "EWEADN" other is black, 49.99 and called "MAMBASNAKE"

[lethal bay]

Yeah I have no clue lol

[oblique jay]

Or is that literally just because it's a different colour so it's their way of branding that

[lethal bay]

@boreal vine would probably be able to explain more, they're the one that recommened it to me

[oblique jay]

Rather than just having a different colour and being called the same thing

But this one looks pretty decent

[sinful cobalt]

I heard some of them are somewhat different

fundamentally they are similar tho

[boreal vine]

the more expensive one (55) has grip tape and extra feet included in the box

[oblique jay]

I just don't want something that will be unfomcy, the g305 looks too small for me, the v2 / v3 pro / superlight all looked pretty decent in comparison to the build of the model o

[boreal vine]

the cheaper one (50) does not

[oblique jay]

Ah, I don't know if I'd even use grip tape but no harm in getting it just incase

Think Ill go with this one and see how it is

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MAMBASNAKE-SUPERLIGHT-PAW3950MAX-Wireless-Adjustable-Black/dp/B0DJ72TGD7
55.99

[lethal bay]

I like mine a lot

[boreal vine]

I have 2 of them, they're great

nice light weight ouse

[oblique jay]

So confusing, my pc which isnt logged in says delivery tomorrow, 24th

My phone which is on prime says 26th

Placed the order, cost me nothing 🙏 😂

[lethal bay]

Can you resend the link for the web driver? I cant find it lol

[oblique jay]

Thanks for the help, will update once I get it and use it a little.

Is there anything I need to do for when it arrives like get a software & drivers

[pallid kestrel]

Ive got a question for you all, Im a bit confused

Im currently playing Sons Of The Forest at 1440p native, using DLSS quality. Because I hate TAA, I try to play with it off, and use DLDSR and DLSS together for some added clarity

So, how is that when I activate 2.25x dldsr to render at 3840x2160, I gain about 30 frames over rendering at 1440p

Im using DLSS in both instances, and AA in neither

Is this a case of a cpu bottleneck being relieved by stressing the GPU harder?

Because from what Ive noticed in other situations, typically DLDSR would cause a performance drop

Dayum, I was wrong, I can save a lot more money building my own r940

Almost $2k used, can probably build it for $1.6-1.7k

But Ill need to make a custom backplane for 3.5 drives

and chassis

[upper abyss]

im considering waiting for the rtx 5000 super cards, why they take so long tho (prolly Q4 this year or CES next)

bc i aint paying 900-1200€ for 16gb of vram

Yo anyone know why on my new pc i cant install windows cuz it wont detect my ssd? the first thing the windows installer greets me with is an install for raid drivers and wont let me proceed until i install them. Before i install them i can click shift f10 and type list disk to see that it recognizes my ssd but after i install the raid drivers it makes my ssd disappear

[fallow yacht]

turn off intel vmd in bios

you don't need that

[lavish drift]

Alr ill give it a shot but i was looking for it earlier and i couldnt find it is it possible my bios doesnt have it

[fallow yacht]

it can be called intel rapid storage technology too

[lavish drift]

Alr ill look for that thank u

[livid mason]

How many years is this?

[steel umbra]

atleast 1

[thorn pewter]

there ya go

[livid mason]

Thank you

I can wait 🥱

i mean im kinda hoping theyll be similar somehow considering how it was with the 4080S

[versed quest]

Anyone that plays fivem is are the quant mods worth it the $10 a month?

[empty quartz]

You’re doing something wrong if you’re paying for mods

[versed quest]

I’m not I’m just asking if it’s worth it

[empty quartz]

My official answer is no its not

[versed quest]

It’s a $10 a month subscription

Fuck no

Wtf is this shit

who is buying this

[trim gyro]

ooh cheap

[steel umbra]

deal

[whole garden]

buy it

[fickle ivy]

whats the chance of me going deaf?

[trim gyro]

as long as it's not any louder than 80dB

[fickle ivy]

i dont have any frame of reference for how loud that is

[trim gyro]

if you have a smartphone, you could install a sound meter on your phone to get a rough idea

it won't be that accurate though,

[gleaming rose]

my whole ass body just jerked

[trim gyro]

sounds like your muscles got too relaxed

[stray cairn]

What

You’re saying something?

[latent berry]

I was looking at KVMs and kept seeing nothing but praise for Level1Tech KVMs, and I have seen LLT work with Level1Techs before, so I had a question for anyone who follows Wendell from Level1Techs and their products. Does he disclose at all that his KVM's are manufactured by Rexton at all? As far as I can tell the Level1Techs acts as the distributor of the product with an undisclosed markup. They might own the design and Rexton manufactures, but it seems that Rexton does B2B sales for their KVMs. Like I initially said I see nothing but praise for the Level1tech KVMs but not much about it being manufactured and distributed by a different company.

[frail delta]

Did you think they made them in their garage? lol

Are you disappointed that the water bottles on lttstore.com aren't made by Linus in Canada?

Are you disappointed that when you go to the supermarket they don't put their margin on the price sticker?

[thorny saddle]

Don't need the sass

[frail delta]

You can't say anything about sass

[thorny saddle]

I just did 😬

[latent berry]

No, but LTT does do their best at disclosing where their products come from. I don't care if some else manufactures a product. But when you charge 2-3x price without disclosing that you're just a distributor, is pretty disingenuous. Now if you own the design that completely different totally get that. But that's not the discourse I see around their products. If you're charging for something that high should try to be genuine in your disclosures.

[frail delta]

How do you put a price on their firmware?

[lucid kiln]

haiii :DD
a 2-3 ish years after i built my pc im looking for a GPU upgrade, i currently have a 3060 and im looking to get a better card,
im looking into a 5070, but im wondering if there are more cost efficient avaliable, thanks :D

[latent berry]

Can you say with 100% certainty they develop their own firmware? I find it hard to believe now they just don't ship it with the parent manufacturer's firmware now. Especially when firmware for closed products like those tend to be immutable.

[lucid kiln]

price range between 500 to maayybe 600s

[dawn tundra]

I wanna recreate my dads old gaming computer from what 2000-1 he remembers that he had a 1gb HDD, a "intell pentium maybe a 4 or whatever was new at the time but was close to the top of the line", some top of the line Nvidia card, monsoon speakers "they were flat", 4 supposed 128 MB ram sticks, a CD drive, and from the photo of his room he showed me he had what looked like a hp designed case, go with the case being black except the silver faceplate that was rounded. Any idea what he had?

[sharp ivy]

If you're in Vancouver I have a Pentium 4 you can have for free, don't know about the other stuff, can you send me a photo of the case?

[dawn tundra]

Oh nice I live in Ohio but I'm willing to pay for shipping

Or if you need me to pay for the CPU anyway

[sharp ivy]

It might not be worth it for a Pentium 4

[dawn tundra]

It's worth it to me

[sharp ivy]

I also have the stock cooler

[dawn tundra]

That's even better

I'll try to send you a picture of the case

[sharp ivy]

I'll see if I can get it to work. I have to go now cause night time but If you need some other stuff from Pentium 4 and core 2 duo era

in fact

[hidden hill]

Anyone think that wireless charging mouse pad Logitech sells is worth it? I’d have to buy a mouse as well

[sharp ivy]

You can have 2 pentium 4s

If I can ship them

Cause I have many

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I do have to go too if you have any like HT'S specifically I'm going to guess if that's the one but yeah I'll pay for shipping I'll contact you and sometime in the morning

Even if not I'll still take them anyway

This is pretty much the best photo I have

Let me see if I can get a slightly better

I really only have the one photo to go on after because someone took some photos out of the album because they were jealous

[little nexus]

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/384732865236

This looks pretty similar

[lapis talon]

Yo, should I go for a 4080 or a RX9070 XT

[sinful cobalt]

5090 whatever is significantly cheaper

[little nexus]

AMD

[dawn tundra]

Looks like a Dell dimension 3,000 case

I'm pretty sure that's exactly where it is

[lapis talon]

AMD is cheaper by $40

[lapis talon]

Alright

[little nexus]

Get the AMD card

[winter lantern]

is it now

new

[lapis talon]

Yes

[little nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-happy-celebration-joy-confetti-gif-25557730

[sinful cobalt]

I’d get the 9070XT if you’re willing to wait for their featureset to catch up

nvidia rn better featureset and more dlss implementation

[lapis talon]

I was planning on the 9070 xt as well, just saw that they lowered the price of the 4080 in my area so I asked here

[river escarp]

just came here to say i changed pc case and upgraded my cpu cooler, and i frigin forgot to take the sticker off

the most basic mistake

[lapis talon]

I care more about raw performance than fake frames sooo

[lapis talon]

AMD it is

[river escarp]

thankfully i noticed right away on the temp tests and shut it off before any damage was done

[sinful cobalt]

both have fake frames buddy

[river escarp]

and now am getting the temps i desired

feeling bliss

[lapis talon]

Yes but in terms of actual raw performance, the 9070 xt is better for the price

[sinful cobalt]

i believe 4080 still barely pulls ahead of the 9070xt in RT

but for warranties, 9070xt has it

[lapis talon]

I don't really care all that much about RT if I'm being honest

[sinful cobalt]

i have a opportunity to get a 5090 aorus master ice for 3.3k rn lol

can i afford it? yes

is it a smart move? no

[little nexus]

9070xt is the better performer for raw fps

And it will get better with age

[lapis talon]

I saw some dude complaining about amd cards having a 2 year warranty so he got an Nvidia one instead, which has 5 years of warranty in my area

[lapis talon]

Yup

[lapis talon]

Yessir

[winter lantern]

my nvidia broke and my amd didnt 🔥

[lapis talon]

Speaking of Nvidia, I'll need to repaste my gpu soon

[sinful cobalt]

I mean when the time comes for 6090 which I want I can sell it and it’ll prob retain 80-90% value

[lapis talon]

I've only have one gpu in my life (other than iGPUs), and that's my current one

[sinful cobalt]

its not a bad idea but for me? nah

[little nexus]

Warranties are generally not an AMD/Nvidea thing, it's a ASUS/MSI/PNY/ZOTAC/Gigabyte/etc thing

[lapis talon]

Oo

[river escarp]

what gpu do you have rn? if you dont mind me asking

[lapis talon]

Yeah but local distributors offer a 2 year warranty extra for those cards in my region

[sinful cobalt]

9070xt

[lapis talon]

So it's 3+2 years most of the time

[wraith dagger]

Is this a decent first build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gLRWC8

[sinful cobalt]

so far as I know only zotac offers 3+2, gigabyte is 3+1 the rest are like 3

[lapis talon]

Oh yup

[little nexus]

Man that's a GPU bound build

[wraith dagger]

Wdym?

[little nexus]

Hmmm nvm, I missread the GPU

Twice

[winter lantern]

did bro think it was a 7600xt

[little nexus]

It's one hell of a rapid CPU for that graphics card

[wraith dagger]

I got is as a decent bundle from microcenter

[little nexus]

And then i though it was a 7900xt. I should sleep

[winter lantern]

im using a 13900kf and a 1650 super

[little nexus]

Oh yeah, include the pricing in the list then

[little nexus]

7950x3d + gtx 650

[random gyro]

Price jump from 5070 to 5080 is fucking stupid

[winter lantern]

well theres a whole gpu inbetween

so it makes sense

[random gyro]

Is it £500-£600 worth of difference tho?

[sinful cobalt]

statistically if I get a 5070ti Ill lose a higher % of its value compared to the 5090, but ofc the 5090 is worth more so ill lose more money on that

[winter lantern]

theres the 5070ti

[random gyro]

Yes, and my point still stands

It still makes 0 sense for a 5070 to be £550 and a 5080 to be £1200

[winter lantern]

whats the price of a 5070ti

where youre at

[random gyro]

£720-920

[winter lantern]

then just get that lol

[wraith dagger]

wait nvm it was the cpu mobo and ram

[winter lantern]

thats the middle ground for a reason

[random gyro]

I'm not getting any of them

The pricing is fucking stupid.

I'm just saying, the 5070 -> 5080 price diff is stupid

[winter lantern]

not really condiering how much better it is

[random gyro]

Yes really considering it's fucking stupid

[winter lantern]

and its 2 gpus ahead of it

[random gyro]

Doesnt warrant the price diff

[winter lantern]

a 5080 can outperform a 4090 for less

[random gyro]

Okay, make it cheaper too

[steel umbra]

very rarely

[random gyro]

The pricing is stupid

[steel umbra]

5080 has a slight edge over 4080 super

[random gyro]

Realistically, Nvidia could 100% lower prices and make a fuck ton of profit still

[high elm]

bro when youre running a company your aim is to MAXIMISE profits

[random gyro]

Not lower prices by 100% before someone assumes that's what I mean.

[random gyro]

More people would buy Nvidia if they markdown prices, making more profit

[little nexus]

Prices on everything are stupid these days man

[winter lantern]

true consoles are only 200$ and run as good as pcs 5x the price

[steel umbra]

fish, capture, capitalize

[random gyro]

I know, fucking freddos are overpriced asf

[high elm]

theyre main revenue dosent even come from gaming cards anymore so

[winter lantern]

same with amd their stuff is overpriced too

[high elm]

ai companies pay anything for the best shit

[little nexus]

Ehhhh a 700$ ps5 runs 4k games as good as a 1000$ pc

[random gyro]

Doesn't mean I can't complain about the 5080 being 225% the price of the 5070

[winter lantern]

a 200$ ps5

[fallen seal]

Hey so just a quick question. I have an RTX 3070 at the moment paired with a ryzen 9 3900x. I want to upgrade soon, and I'm thinking about a 5060ti and ryzen 5 7600x. I want to get a second opinion on it.

[winter lantern]

mine was 200$ so theyre 200

[little nexus]

Where the hell are you finding a ps5 for 200$

[random gyro]

Nah, not worth it. 5060ti a bit pants

[sinful cobalt]

if u get the 5060ti get the 16g version

[winter lantern]

where the hell do people get 9070xts for 600 lol

[dawn tundra]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1375340039881625600

[fallen seal]

That's what I was thinking

[steel umbra]

3070 to 5060 ti is not a very good upgrade imo, just gaming right?

[sinful cobalt]

5060ti is like a 3080

[fallen seal]

Yeah, more so for gaming than anything else

[steel umbra]

pass this gen

[sinful cobalt]

good cpu upgrade, but if u can I’d suggest u to go with 5070ti

[steel umbra]

3070 is still solid

[sinful cobalt]

^

[random gyro]

Another thing I wanna say, which is an unpopular opinion. Don't buy the weakest gpu in the lineup and complain it's the weakest in the line up. If a GPU has 8gb of vram and u buy it, don't then complain it doesn't have 12, because you bought it knowing it had 8.

[sinful cobalt]

unless u go from 1080p to 1440p u dont need a gpu upgrade tbh

[winter lantern]

consoles run almost every game perfectly and theyre 3070 preformence

[random gyro]

Vram is the most stupid shit in the world. Just lower the settings plebface.

[fallen seal]

The thing is that I keep running into issues with it where I don't think I should be. I keep my drivers and everything up to date but it still lacks in performance sometimes

[winter lantern]

ultra and high have very little difference in most games

[steel umbra]

please don’t compare console optimized games to deskop dgpus

[dawn tundra]

If anyone has any idea what he is talking about lmk

[random gyro]

Exactly and it makes a world of difference

[sinful cobalt]

nooo how am i going to run all ultra settings in 4k raytracing pathtracing

[winter lantern]

i get 60fps on an aaa 2025 game on a 4gb gpu

just change settingsd fr

[fallen seal]

I mean, I want my games to look good but also get solid performance at the same time

[random gyro]

I saw a video testing the 5060ti 8gb version. Complaining that it can't do raytracing, ultra settings at 1080p. Then don't use raytracing? Oh, and then they enabled dlss quality, vram dropped and it ran fine.

So, who gives a shit

[winter lantern]

who cares about not using dlss and fg on a low tier gpu lol

[steel umbra]

there are many 2023-2025 aaa’s that won’t run 60 even at low settings

on 4gb gpu

[sinful cobalt]

the real problem with the 8gb is that the vram problem got highlighted on pcie 4.0 vs 5.0 lmao, 20% diff between the 2 when its being choked

[winter lantern]

well spiderman 2 does

[dawn tundra]

the 50 series is garbage you can't change my mind

No buy

[winter lantern]

just ignore drivers fr

[random gyro]

I recently went from an rx6750xt 12gb to rtx 3080 10gb, and it's faster. People said, "stupid cause you're losing vram", mofo I play Minecraft. And tbh, I tried cyberpunk, 3080 ran better. Tried starfield, 3080. I don't miss that 2gb at all

[sinful cobalt]

yea wait for the 60 series and even more absurd prices 🤑

[sharp ivy]

That's a Dell Dimension I think

Gn chat

[dawn tundra]

Just ignore them and move on fr

[dawn tundra]

Yes it's a Dell dimension 3000

[fallen seal]

Not Tarkov eating my 3070 alive

[sharp ivy]

Ah

That's the case?

[winter lantern]

man i wish ts 4090 worked

[dawn tundra]

Yes I'm 99% sure

[random gyro]

What FPS u getting at what settings?

[dawn tundra]

It even has the little lip on top as well

[steel umbra]

i need.

[random gyro]

Sushi?

[fallen seal]

I have everything at almost the lowest I can get it to and most maps I'm getting anywhere between 15 and 35 fps

[steel umbra]

the log

[winter lantern]

any light troop when

[fallen seal]

I can manage to get 45 fps on streets of tarkov but 10 on something like lighthouse

I've done a bunch of optimizing and tried a bunch of different settings that are supposed to help with fps

[sinful cobalt]

🤑

[winter lantern]

its so weird how fps feels like its half on pc

like 30 on console feels like 60 on pc

[fallen seal]

The only thing I got to work was optimizing tarkov through the nvidia app and setting it all the way to performance

[frank swift]

Stupid question but I installed a new CPU today as well as an AIO but unfortunately the AIO I have needs a proprietary part to actually turn on but I wanted to make sure the rebuild went okay. Is it bad if I turn on the PC for like a minute just to make sure it boots up and then immediately shut down even though the AIO doesn't have power currently?

[fallen seal]

Also just one more thing I noticed is that with all my games, I can't enable ultra performace or max performance whatever it is for dlss. The most it lets me go to is just performance and the next performance option is greyed out

[glad fog]

to be fair thats no t ncessarily wrong

[winter lantern]

Theyre the best 1440p cards

[glad fog]

the way things are going it's going to be a 1080p card in no time

[winter lantern]

It already is

Ive seen it gets 90fps at 1080p

the game gets like 300 with dlss and fg (you're supposed to use them)

[winter lantern]

I seen an astral 5090 for 2400 on marketplace should I cop

[dawn tundra]

FOUND! a better of a different computer online

That's gotta be it

[karmic relic]

Heya :) I've got a question regarding Radeons

[sinful cobalt]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[karmic relic]

... is this genuinely a link to a webpage that goes into why not going straight into a question is a bad thing ?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask my question, so in case it's not, I'd get redirected to the proper place

[tidal geyser]

You will if you say it too

[karmic relic]

That's fair, but I was in the process of typing the question out

[red shoal]

I earned some money, what GPU do I buy at this moment

ideally <$CAD 500, 1440p

[karmic relic]

Anyway : I'm upgrading soon. I've already decided on the 9800x3d and 64gb of 6000 ddr5. I'm ditching nvidia and got told to go for the Radeon 7900xtx. I can't find either it or the 9070xt on gpumonkey, and I can't seem to find other comparison websites that aren't userbenchmark.
Considering I want to be able to game at 4k60/1440p120, does the extra vram of the 7900xtx make more sense, or is the 9070xt a better bet?
I don't play anything in particular. I might want to eventually stream, but surely that can't factor too much into the decision

[tidal geyser]

Gpu monkey is not a gaming comparison website

[tidal geyser]

Just get the 9070 xt

[karmic relic]

Ok, thanks

[steel umbra]

is used an option?

[tidal geyser]

Used what

[steel umbra]

xtx is better than 9070xt in raster but draws more powah, has worse scaling with rt, etc.

[karmic relic]

It is to a degree. If you're asking for budget reasons, it's not really a factor

[steel umbra]

amongus sekond hand

[karmic relic]

I'll be 3000€ in the hole by the end of this process anyway

[tidal geyser]

I have a 7900 xtx, just get the 9070 xt

[steel umbra]

the the

[karmic relic]

I don't plan on enabling RT. Does that change anything?

[tidal geyser]

Too bad a lot of modern games force it

[steel umbra]

if you’re up only for gaming raster then get the xtx (aslong it’s the similar price or lower)

[karmic relic]

That's true

[tidal geyser]

Nau the 9070 xt ain't too far behind a 7900 xtx while also having good rt and upscaling capability

[karmic relic]

7900Xtx is 1k brand new, 9070xt is 800 brand new

[steel umbra]

9070 xt

[karmic relic]

I can't find either in my vicinity on my country's equivalent of craigslist

[steel umbra]

xtx makes sense if it’s similarly priced

[karmic relic]

I see

[steel umbra]

maybe used? 4080/super, xtx

[karmic relic]

I'd rather not go nvidia

Even if it's by getting a second hand gpu

[karmic relic]

Unless I can find the 4080 for reaaaaal cheap (comparatively)

[tidal geyser]

You will not

[arctic furnace]

I ordered the Bigscreen beyond 2e

[sinful cobalt]

9070XT

Unless ur playing 4k, u dont need another 8gb vram
-Better RT
-Better powerdraw
-FSR4 is a better upscaler than FSR3

[tidal geyser]

Wow that last part is funny

[karmic relic]

I said I want to game at 4k60

[tidal geyser]

More like 120 on that bad boy

[sinful cobalt]

nope, many crazy people are selling their almost expired 4080 for brand new 5070ti prices

[sinful cobalt]

4k60 also doesnt need 24gb vram

[red shoal]

I earned some money, what GPU do I buy at this moment

ideally <$CAD 500, 1440p

[sinful cobalt]

plus the only cards with 24gb+ vram are XTX, 4090 and 5090

[tidal geyser]

O yeah memory management on the 9070 xt is VERY VERY good

[karmic relic]

Yeah, I just checked and the cheapest I found don't go below 900€, which is 100€ more than a brand new 9070xt :/

[arctic furnace]

I also bought the limited edition Vr chat storage case , and an enamel pin and shoelace buckle set , and a T-shirt

[wind radish]

How long would you guys say a 7800x3d and 9070 xt last

[sinful cobalt]

in ur case its basically the same argument of 5070ti or 9070xt

[sinful cobalt]

4-6 years give or take

[karmic relic]

Try to answer this guy too, tho, please :') It's the second time they ask and I feel like I'm taking all the focus of the chat

[tidal geyser]

20 years

[sinful cobalt]

but since moores lore lowk dying probably more

[wind radish]

yeah for pacman maybe

[sinful cobalt]

it all depends if devs still wont optimise their game

[karmic relic]

How tf

Is that really futureproof to that extent?

[tidal geyser]

People are still using I dono xp era computers and such

[sinful cobalt]

no lmao

[karmic relic]

Oh, ok, in that sense

[sinful cobalt]

chances are 16gb by that time will be today’s 8gb

[bronze summit]

I'm playing a game from the 90s rn

[karmic relic]

Not in the "gaming at high settings" sense

[bronze summit]

Very fun, but very scary

[karmic relic]

Well thank y'all very much, I'll be getting the 9070xt with the 9800x3d

[bronze summit]

Want to know what it's called?

[frail delta]

16gb? in 2024? yuck

[bronze summit]

Is he talking about ram or vram?

[frail delta]

If it's ram, very yuck

[sinful cobalt]

VRAM buddy read the context

[frail delta]

Okay buddy

[karmic relic]

... is 16gb vram genuinely low? There aren't many cards with more than that below a month's worth of salary

[bronze summit]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-silly-dude-postal-postal-dude-gif-11808683893389003150

[red shoal]

12 GB might as well be minimum at this point

[karmic relic]

:/ Now it sounds like I should get the 7900xtx

[sinful cobalt]

16gb isnt low, just that more modern games are really pushing it, some people have had problems with 16gb at 4k and that was on like 4080 and 5080, where nvidia uses abt 1gb less vram than amd

[bronze summit]

Just get whatever you want

[karmic relic]

I see. It's a "problem" on the very high end, not an actual issue that concerns me

[bronze summit]

Funny thing is if you asked this last year I would've suggested the neatly priced 7900 GRE

[steel umbra]

i got a gre under msrp

few weeks / months after ww launch?

[karmic relic]

GRE?

[bronze summit]

I overpaid for my 4070 super

[karmic relic]

I know GER is short for Germany, but I've never heard of GRE

[austere crypt]

I overpaid for my 4070 TI

[steel umbra]

golden rabbit edition

[elder quarry]

Golden rabbit edition

[bronze summit]

I think I said this already but if I was getting the 4070 super i would've gone for the FE

[steel umbra]

hah me fasteros u sloweros

[elder quarry]

Before; Chinese only

[elder quarry]

You were here before

And you’re on pc

Cheats

[steel umbra]

nah skill issue does not count

[light flame]

If I wanted advice on what I should look for/get for a build, where would I go for that?

[elder quarry]

#1106613567966429224

[red shoal]

well... no one help?

I earned some money, what GPU do I buy at this moment

ideally <$CAD 500, 1440p

another question really, should I go with Intel or AMD GPU

[light flame]

thanks

[sinful cobalt]

GRE used to mean Great Rabbit Edition, now its Great Radeon Edition

[elder quarry]

Golden

[karmic relic]

It's also 16gb gddr6 and at only 650 for a sapphire nitro+. I imagine the 9070xt is better by a great enough margin to justify the price difference

[steel umbra]

i’m not saying the 7900 gre is good nowadays

[sinful cobalt]

o wait its golden? damn

[steel umbra]

just that i got it at under msrp when it was relevant

[sinful cobalt]

glorified 7800xt

[karmic relic]

Makes sense

[red shoal]

@austere crypt wtf?

[steel umbra]

deglorified navi 31

[gaunt sigil]

Would a 12g RTX 5070 be a good upgrade from a 1050Ti for 1920x1080 gaming

[bronze summit]

Yea sure why not

[gaunt sigil]

Might go with a 5060 instead, so i can get 16GB

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

5060ti 16gb version?

[fallow yacht]

lttcord users is this per*ume worth it

it's like 11-12 USD idk the exchange rate today

[gaunt sigil]

yeah the RTX 5060Ti 16G

[frail delta]

I've not smelt it, how can I judge it?

[glad fog]

you would be better off upgradinbg to a 9070, 5070's probably way more expensive too

[fallow yacht]

it's fr*nch

[sinful cobalt]

tough to say, 9070 is more exp in the US than 5070 I heard

[gaunt sigil]

Nah the 5070 is 819 while the RX 9070 is 1.3-1.4k

[sinful cobalt]

what the f-

[gaunt sigil]

Australian GPU prices

[sinful cobalt]

yea 5070 u go

[formal sonnet]

Not one bit. I sneeze at the smell of most perfumes.

[gaunt sigil]

Alright well my current GPU larger than the 5070 so it should fit neatly

[serene atlas]

What’s the rule of thumb for finding the needed wattage psu for your pc?

[bronze summit]

If it's mid ranged 850, if it's high ranged 1600

[daring trout]

What driver should I install for my storage

RAID or VMD

This is my OS drive

Or do I need AHCI. help me figure out

[trim gyro]

what are you trying to do exactly

[wheat torrent]

https://youtu.be/ve6JuJV17FQ
140000 RPM in 38mm diameter is crazy

[fallow yacht]

damn that sucks

well since ure like a hundred thousand kms away it doesn't matter

[tidal geyser]

Just bought a vega 64 for 43$

It is one of the blower style cards sadly

[topaz shale]

unfortunate

[edgy holly]

i hate perfumes they feels like someone is violently punching my nasal buds

or whatever the name of the nose sensors are lmao

[trim gyro]

there are light perfumes as well

but yeah some of them are way to strong

[elder quarry]

blub

[elder quarry]

some are so strong and smells so bad so it tickles the hairs and makes me sneeze and leave with a migraine for the rest of the day

[edgy holly]

still always feel awful ngl

[pale flint]

[clever drift]

Guys should I finally upgrade to Windows 11?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[thin plover]

[tidal geyser]

yea

ngl the green red mix is just SO good

it looks so good

[thin plover]

yeah

I ment the cats but that's also cool

[tidal geyser]

o yeah cat cool

[rigid fjord]

long time no see

i should really change the banner pic

[frail delta]

NO CHANGING PROFILE PICTURES

[edgy holly]

agree, been a while

[rigid fjord]

you can't tell me what to do

[mint marsh]

Hey! I have a Amd Ryzen 5 5600x, Geforce 3060, and 16gb of ram, My rust wont run above 60 fps even on the lowest settings. Id my setup outdated or to bad for rust? What should i do😁 will upgrading from 2800mhz 16gb ram to 32gb 3600mhz make a big difference in performance?😁 thanks

[rigid fjord]

how's it going?

[frail delta]

:(

[edgy holly]

decently enough, what about you ?

[rigid fjord]

about the usual for me

[tidal geyser]

[edgy holly]

glad to hear

[viscid helm]

hmmm

cinematic is wider than wide

[rigid fjord]

more like letterbox tbh

[tidal geyser]

i have a great idea, so i have a NUC and a shit ton of PSUs that should never meet the power of a gpu and too many 1TB HDDs.
ama try and make a NAS out of dis shit with a god dam nuc and i might be able to make it the size of a smol box or smn

i knew buying this was a good idea

[gilded harness]

theres clearance sell in thailand

14700 for $100 😭

[tidal geyser]

probs red ringed

[rigid fjord]

50/50 on it working or not in a nuc dude

[tidal geyser]

nau it will trust

OMG that is true due to this being a pcie device i can do EZ passtrough for truenas or something

[ripe spire]

Oh noooo sims gone undercover

New pfp

Didn’t recognise ya at first

[rigid fjord]

you never know with some nuc's tbf

[frail delta]

Not very much PCIe in a decapitated laptop

[tidal geyser]

considering i put a pcie 3 x4 nvme ssd in it i feel like it should work

i have from 4th gen to 5th gen to 6th gen to 9th gen to 10th gen NUCs

i am the NUC king

[sinful cobalt]

i think he will try to force it to work

[urban forge]

which one to get used rtx 2060 super or rx 6600

[viscid helm]

it's actually ruining the picture

[tidal geyser]

rtx 2060 super

[viscid helm]

no more FOV, fake wide

[sinful cobalt]

6600 has more horsepower but 2060 super I believe has more vram? so I’d get the 2060 super and slap dlss on it

[urban forge]

thank you

[viscid helm]

shrink

[urban forge]

just looking to be better than 1650 😄

[tidal geyser]

both the same vram but 2060 has tensor cores cuda and ofc upscaling as in dlss 4

[urban forge]

tbh i prefer nvidia never used amd gpus

[true stirrup]

They both have 8GB of VRAM
There are some rarer 12GB versions of the 2060 super tho but it's not that easy to find one

[sinful cobalt]

If both are the same then ig I’d still take the 2060 super just for the dlss

[true stirrup]

That's sick

@rigid fjord Those batteries you suggested for controller, with 1 charge I used them over 50 hours and it's not even half yet

Duracell 1300mAh

they last so long

[rigid fjord]

good batteries do that

[swift moss]

@rigid fjord rate the design lol (its so trash 😭)

with fill

[rigid fjord]

looks good to me tbh

[warped plover]

So the vetroo has an 8pin pcie but my hub needs a 6pin. Does anyone know where id get an 8pin to 6pin?

in Georgia

[rigid fjord]

your vetroo also has a 6+2 pin pcie there if you actually read your manual

[warped plover]

My eyes skipped over that oml

[valid laurel]

could someone help me here please, (i currently have an ipad pro m4 13 inch and i’ll hopefully soon be getting a 5080 or 5090 desktop computer due to me getting a loan with uni), in september ill be starting university ill be doing an animation course, 1 would i need a laptop and 2 if so what laptop should i get for university?

[frail delta]

What are you studying?

[valid laurel]

i said in the message an animation course

[frail delta]

Oh lol sorry 😭

[valid laurel]

it’s a bachelor of arts degree honours in animation

[valid laurel]

it’s fine lol easily done

[frail delta]

Hmm. I would say a Macbook, however I would check for software compatibility (in regards to whatever animation software is used)

[valid laurel]

why macbook?

[frail delta]

Battery life

You know how long your iPad lasts? A Macbook will last a similar amount of time

PC laptops struggle battery wise

[valid laurel]

my ipad roughly last a whole day depending how much i use it

[frail delta]

Most windows laptops you'd want to top up throughout the day

[valid laurel]

i’ve heard the hp pavilion 16 has good battery life

would you say the macbook would last longer, also are you talking about macbook pro or macbook air?

[frail delta]

Either. Macbook pro will last a couple hours longer, but macbook air still lasts about 2 working days

[frail delta]

That one does look to have good battery life

[valid laurel]

macbook air does 15 hours and macbook pro does 24 hours

i don’t really need an expensive laptop as i’ll have the pc and ipad i’ll be using plus pcs at uni, this is just for more portability typing and bringing files with me back home

[frail delta]

Have you tried a mac/do you like it? Some people can never get used to it and prefer windows

[valid laurel]

i used my exs mac it’s alright, but not a fan of macos

[frail delta]

Yeah might want to go for a pc then

No point buying a fancy mac if you don't like macos haha

[valid laurel]

well i’ll be getting a pc from a loan i’ll be getting from university

[swift moss]

That's nice, I'm taking some design principles into account such as trace highways and bundling components close to ics

[valid laurel]

yh i prefer windows in general

[swift moss]

It's not perfect but It wasn't meant to crafted like a masterpiece

[frail delta]

I say go HP

HP shill :p

[swift moss]

I didn't even rotate the ics to align correctly lol

[valid laurel]

like im looking for a laptop that’s under a £1000

if i do get one

[tidal geyser]

Mac

[frail delta]

So at uni they'd have PCs for you I'd assume?

[valid laurel]

might see if i can find a good one second hand from cex

[valid laurel]

yh they have a pc room

[frail delta]

You could just... Try without a laptop for a bit. Use your iPad with a keyboard for note taking

I know a couple people who just use an ipad pro as their computer

[valid laurel]

ok

[swift moss]

I don't support that route but if it works it works I guess

I heard they are trying to make it more like macos now which is nice

[valid laurel]

well if the new ipad os 19 coming out apparently it’s gonna be more like mac os

[swift moss]

Mm

[frail delta]

If they have a PC at home, and a PC at uni, they can do the "real computer" things there, I see them being a good candidate for it

[valid laurel]

what keyboard and trackpad case should i get?

[swift moss]

Personally a functional laptop computer is something I prefer more

[swift moss]

Magic thingy official apple

[valid laurel]

fair, well i don’t know what i’ll prefer

[valid laurel]

£300 💀

[swift moss]

Just gotta wait till ipados 19 imo and try it out in store

[swift moss]

It's very good apparently

[frail delta]

They already have an ipad

[swift moss]

Fair enough, amazing battery life and portability if their workhorses are elsewhere

[swift moss]

Ya veo

[valid laurel]

could get a cheap laptop with that money

[swift moss]

I mena you could try aftermarket cases I guess

[frail delta]

Heck, they could even remote access their PC at home from an ipad if they really wanted

[swift moss]

Sorta something like that yeah

I love the way onshape and RDP does it

Very low latency and efficient

[swift moss]

I have a friend who uses a Logitech one I think

[tidal geyser]

Moonlight or parsec

[swift moss]

Moonlight is game streaming no?

[tidal geyser]

And desktop

[swift moss]

Is parsec actually quick? I havent tried it out

[tidal geyser]

Or multi monitor

[swift moss]

Does it work fine on bad networks? And is it lower latency than windows RDP?

[tidal geyser]

Probs

I at least know ltt editions use parsec

[frail delta]

RDP will be lower latency than Parsec, and is optimised for "officey" things

[true stirrup]

Parsec is saving my life in uni

[valid laurel]

plus i could use the laptop along side the desktop pc at home as like a second monitor

[true stirrup]

It's very fast even on slow networks

[frail delta]

You can use your ipad as that

[swift moss]

Shame it's paid

[tidal geyser]

That is what I do with moonlight

[frail delta]

But RDP isn't a great idea for most people because they're idiots

[true stirrup]

It's completely free

[swift moss]

Hmmm

[swift moss]

I thought it had to be paid

[tidal geyser]

Everything I am talking about is freeee

[frail delta]

Parsec has questionable MFA

[swift moss]

I'll try it out I guess

[swift moss]

Would moonlight offer comparable latency?

[true stirrup]

Well you need Google authenticator or some other authenticator to log in

[frail delta]

But once you're logged in, no MFA at all. That's horrible

If your session token is stolen, full access with no MFA
