I didnt think you wanted anything, I was just letting you know

[dusty mortar]

Ah

Well still

Yall just negative asf for no reason
“Hey I’m happy that I’m getting something I want for my b-day!”
“You’d have to pay me to use that!”
“Way overpriced!”

[midnight linden]

What next I know I need to go to the icue link

[frigid blade]

Didnt mention birthday btw

[dusty mortar]

It doesn’t matter if I do, yall negative asf for no reason anyways

[frigid blade]

Youre confusing negativity with a heads up

I wasnt being negative I was just letting you know

[midnight linden]

Hey what is next

[dusty mortar]

I was sharing somethin I was happy with and yall immediately started to shit on it

[dusty mortar]

I still didn’t ask for an option on the price

[frigid blade]

Letting someone know something is overpriced is not shitting on them 😭

[dusty mortar]

If I got it from a proper store it’d be hundreds of dollars, this ain’t overpriced

[frigid blade]

I say it here literally to everyone and youre the only person who has taken it so deep

[dusty mortar]

If I were to build the same thing it’d be hundreds of dollars

[thorny saddle]

wtf is TC1 doing

[dusty mortar]

No clue

[hallow jasper]

You get out your install manual and open iCUE and figure out what’s wrong. Is it physical? Software? I’m not there to do it.

[elder quarry]

vI need sleb

[red shoal]

NICE

[dusty mortar]

Putting this in it too cos fuck it why not

It’s at 5$ rn 💀

[red shoal]

LMAO

[dusty mortar]

It’s also already got what looks like 2 NVS 510s in it

Also have a 1050ti I might put in it

[pallid surge]

Whats better buy rn. For me rx 9060xt is £315. used rx 6800xt for £330. I want to play games in high settings around 100fps and 1440p. Or do I need a better gpu. Rx6900xt is like £370 and rtx 4070 is £400. Paired with Ryzen 5 7500f and random b650 and 6000mhz ram

[wet scroll]

I think a 6900xt would be the better investment, or the 4070 if your psu wont be able to handle the 6900

[pallid surge]

do you think 6900xt would be able to play gta 6

in 2 years or would I have to upgrade

[wet scroll]

Oh definitely, if it can play on a ps5 w those beautiful graphics we saw in the trailer then im sure a 6900xt would run it at 1440p at least

Im not sure wether the 4070 or 6900xt is better though, but im pretty sure gta 6 would run on both

@thorny saddle is this janky enough?

I do still need to get a cpu with more pcie lanes

[graceful girder]

same time zone

[swift moss]

Is there any way to troubleshoot and fix my dead motherboard that I presumably fried by putting my screwdriver over the power switch array pins thingy

[thorn pewter]

2697v2

[empty quartz]

Thats how you destroy it

[wet scroll]

Try resetting bios

[swift moss]

Dead?

I mean I can take the CMOS out ig

[empty quartz]

@thorn pewter its an x99 board, doesnt use lga 2011 v1

[swift moss]

And put it back in

[empty quartz]

Uses lga 2011 v3

[swift moss]

Lga 2011 V3 is what you are looking for

[empty quartz]

Im aware

[wet scroll]

Nono, you look up how you do it for hr motherboard, you either have to short 2 pins or press a button

[elder quarry]

zzz

[swift moss]

The motherboard doesn't turn on anymore

[swift moss]

It's a h110m

[wet scroll]

Yes mine did too and came bsck to life when i reset bios

[wet scroll]

Same as mine LMFAO

[empty quartz]

Just replace it then, arent those cheap?

[swift moss]

Ok I'll try it out ig

[graceful girder]

gn e

[elder quarry]

what

[swift moss]

Not really necessary

[wet scroll]

Make suee its powered off

[swift moss]

Just kinda a side project

[empty quartz]

@swift moss want some pc hardware?

[thorn pewter]

Oh x99 though it said x79

[swift moss]

If you pay the ridiculous shipping to nz

[empty quartz]

Shit

[elder quarry]

I'm aawake

[wet scroll]

Damn fans on a motherboard? Thats kinda rare

[elder quarry]

no

[empty quartz]

Not for x79

Runs hot as fuck, those vrms dont run cold

[wet scroll]

I see

[graceful girder]

this early?

[elder quarry]

late

well early buut

[somber blaze]

anyone have a suggestion for a 34" ultrawide monitor with 1440p and at least 144hz for like around $300 or less? can be a little more if it needs to be.

[sand epoch]

i think those samsung monitors are best in the market

[somber blaze]

how is the Odyssey g5?

[sand epoch]

it's got good rating online ig so should be good

[burnt sparrow]

Where can I get my hands on a dirt cheap am4 motherboard

[short moat]

ROG Zephyrus G14 14" OLED 3K 120Hz Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS - 32GB LPDDR5X - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD price at $2000 or ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop - Copilot+ PC - AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti - 1TB price at $2400

Which one should I get

[gilded harness]

a pc

[sinful cobalt]

2

[fringe prairie]

5070ti but asus gaming laptops are known to shit the bag after a year

poor CS and RMA process as well

if you plan to get a zephyrus get some sort of external warranty

[trail oracle]

could anyone tell me if 750 is good price for a 7900xtx?

[swift moss]

USD?

If it's USD, not really, it's decent

I'm assuming used

If it's new, then that's an amazing deal

[dusty mortar]

Chat, how good of a deal is this

[trim gyro]

it's an auction

[dusty mortar]

Yeah I know but if the price stays below like 30$

[trim gyro]

highly unlikely but sure

[dusty mortar]

Aight, imma keep an eye on it

[granite sundial]

why does duck duck gos inbuilt calculator suck ugh

doesnt recognise 6! / (2! (6-2)!)) as an equation

[trim gyro]

that's when you pull out a physical calculator

combinations and permutations are light work!

[granite sundial]

yeah but its such a basic equation its annoying to have to find a calculator

also thats trivial to work out yourself but something like 15! / 10! isnt as fun

oh nvm that would just be 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11

[ember inlet]

The microcenter an hour away has officially sold me bad ram

🙂

[granite sundial]

what is cpa

cyproterone acetate?

[gusty wagon]

Yep

[granite sundial]

idk im on mono

[gusty wagon]

What methods do you use?

[granite sundial]

implant

[gusty wagon]

That's a subcutaneous surgery every half a year isn't it?

[granite sundial]

surgery technically

its just a bit of local anesthetic and a big needle looking thing

[gusty wagon]

[thorny saddle]

Perhaps not the most relevant conversation to #tech-chat-1

[gusty wagon]

We uh

Nanomite surgery

[thorny saddle]

Yeah I don't really think this is fit for this channel

[sinful cobalt]

dw his brother always goes offtopic

must be in the blood

[latent pasture]

liquid metal too instead of tp which sure gets u good temps, if not for the several cases where they leakead and killed the board lmao

[kindred palm]

hey y'all, is the "auto" fan curve in fancontrol app good? or should I manually set them?

[red shoal]

yoooooo what's up

[gentle kestrel]

the one on mine was so bad i just swapped to ptm

[latent pasture]

u decide if its annoying if it sets the fan to noisy in which case yes u set it manually to what u like
if not then just leave it

[bronze summit]

I can't wait for technology to be so good that I can get gender reassignment surgery on a random booth like cyberpunk

[bronze summit]

Fans can never be annoying

It's when a power cable is nearby a fan is when they get annoying

They make that tugtugtugtugtug sound

[quasi knoll]

Santa clara?

[latent pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/fart-after-indian-gif-5030225

i just block it out with headphones

[kindred palm]

sounds good, thanks!

[kindred palm]

is there a smart tune featuure where it will ramp up the fans if load is high

[latent pasture]

uh wat (?) thats just what happens already
if the load is high, temperature is high, therefore fan will spin more

[ember inlet]

cambridge

[kindred palm]

does this look good?

[latent pasture]

y r u asking me
its u who decides what level of noise is annoying

[kindred palm]

just wanna make sure i dont mess up my system 😭

[latent pasture]

bruh its just assigning a fan speed based on ur temperature
u cant really fuck anything up with it

[bronze summit]

Want to know something lame about me

By convincing Dominos HR, I am legally allowed to listen to the WAN show with full head phones on live during work hours for therapy

Like I can watch and listen to the WAN show while stretching and making pizzas

[kindred palm]

ahh I see

[bronze summit]

Sorry just random shit I said

Snip snip

[fresh escarp]

eeh, thinking asking ISP if they could allow getting higher speeds as long i pay extra

[bronze summit]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-no-this-gif-15654865

i hope cyberpunk has the customisation become real irl, the rest can stay the fuck away though

cyberpunk kicks ass cause like

you can get gender reassignement surgery for almost free then get a fucking rocket launcher in your arm

[late path]

VRAM has tempratures?

[empty quartz]

Yes

[paper terrace]

question
is a RTX 4060 + Intel Core i5 14400F a decent pairing?

[empty quartz]

Your hotspot is also an issue

[late path]

Can't wait for the government to launch a CLI so I can just do it with a command

Dont get a 4060

Get a b580 or smt

[late path]

Intel bad grrrr

[empty quartz]

Shut up

[late path]

🥀

[swift thorn]

solution: don't get a PC.

[muted quest]

Hey! So I recently bought a 9800X3D, which I did see people say about disabling PBO, on my gigabyte motherboard there's a PBO overdrive and a X3D turbo mode, should I disable X3D turbo mode as well?

[late path]

What motherboard do you have

[swift thorn]

uh. you wanna disable PBO because?

[paper terrace]

not asking about me
asking about my friend
he already has that pc and has had it for a while
iirc he got the 4060 when it was first releasing or sm shit

but like
hes saying hes not able to run a minecraft modpack that he should most likely be able to run and idk if its because his shit is bottlenecking or if its because the modpack is too demanding (which should not be the case)

[muted quest]

Gigabyte X670e Aorus Pro X

[late path]

The 9800x3d were exploding with some specific motherboard iirc, thanks to some kinda setting. I think it was PBO which caused that

[swift thorn]

fr? i aint heard of it

was it on techlinked or sumn?

[late path]

this is why I watch more than 1 tech channel, if something happens atleast a few cover it

[empty quartz]

1 person to never watch is ztt

You could get more accurate info by licking a cinderblock

[modest void]

If you’re gaming focused, just use it. If you do some workload uses multi threaded stuff, disabling it might give you slightly better performance. But personally, I wouldn’t care either way.

[late path]

would rather lick cinderblocks than watch that

[swift thorn]

i usually do watch more than 1 tech news channel, just been busy recently and I know techlinked is reliable so I stuck to it

[empty quartz]

W

[muted quest]

I heard about 9800X3D blowing up because of PBO tho

[late path]

delicious

[muted quest]

I personally are gaming focused but if I have my mobo and my cpu burned because of PBO that would be pretty sad

[late path]

the first few 9800x3d's to explode were user error but after it happened more times

https://youtu.be/Hh23RsLYXYU 1 day ago from

ASRock x870's seem to be common with them exploding

[late path]

@muted quest worth a watch?

[muted quest]

Yeah, thanks

[empty quartz]

I love how i just spent >160 on pc hardware today

[muted quest]

Oh did they complain about expo too

[plush wren]

[muted quest]

Now I'm concerned

Since my ram is 8000MHz

[late path]

Anonymous has control to your workspace

[muted quest]

Ugh ig back to non expo it is

[late path]

Only thing you should be concerned about is even if you don't use it, warranty won't cover if your cpu goes boom

[peak knot]

im an idiot, i was trying to compare my calibrated siglent scope to the HP 3457A multimeter to see how close the HP was to spec.... i didnt realize the input resistance on the HP is a set 10GΩ up to 30V rand while my siglent has an option of either 10MΩ or 10GΩ
and my measurements were varying a bit until i set my siglent to use the GΩ resistance
.... guess this is why it pays to RTFM

[true stirrup]

8000MT/s*

[peak knot]

once i realized this error they read within .000015V of each other when reading 500mv, .0000261V when reading a 2v source and .00014V when reading a stable 10V source

[plush wren]

[late path]

ermmm mister I don't know those big scary words🥀

[swift thorn]

Sir. you realize that 99.9999% of people have no clue what you're talking about?

also. HP makes oscilloscopes now?

[late path]

he does know I have screens on everything on my PC all playing either family guy clips, satisfying soap cutting, subway surfers or something similar?

[peak knot]

i was comparing 2 extremely precise multimeters and realized the readings were wrong cause of a single spec being different on my newer scope and once set correctly was reading accurately

[peak knot]

they havent in years

HPs precision instruments division was sold to agilent in the late 90s early 00s and was later sold again to keithley

this is one of HPs multimeters

[swift thorn]

so it's kinda like coding

[swift thorn]

you forget one colon and everything is fucked

[late path]

God forbid it is, I know coding and it sure isn't whatever this is

[peak knot]

kinda, think of it more like a car, had it set to measure ditance in KM instead of miles and vice versa and was wondering why the readings were different

[swift thorn]

ahh, makes sense when you put it that wya

also when you mention multimeter, I imagine one of those little ones

with the prongs and a cable and the box that could fit in your pocket

[peak knot]

no this is a lab multimeter

[swift thorn]

the ones electroboom uses

[silent cypress]

is 5060 considered a high end card

[swift thorn]

is there a noticeable difference? beyond accuracy?

[raven scroll]

mid range

[wooden elk]

hey quick question if anyone knows whats up. everytime I try to shutdown my pc through the windows menu, my mouse lags and there are loud beeps in my headphones, no errors, only thing i noticed was the razor app waiting to close once i get into the shutting down screen. any ideas? my suspect is the razor app

[peak knot]

lab mutimeters can do extra stuff like extended datalogging

[true stirrup]

Not at all

[raven scroll]

razer dscord sorver

[peak knot]

i once logged my 120V variation over 4 hours

[raven scroll]

but from my experience razer app does like to do stuff like dat

[true stirrup]

If your mouse and headphones are razer my bet is on that

[wooden elk]

yep they are

i got the unholy combo, keyboard, mouse and headphones

[swift thorn]

this graph is wall power?

[peak knot]

yeah

[swift thorn]

I wonder what it'd look like coming from a UPS

[trim gyro]

that's kind of neat

[peak knot]

... this was through a UPS they dont kick on unless they detect a massive voltage drop

[dusty mortar]

Lookin to get these 2 for the amalgam build. I don’t really care about the mixed brand, but having multiple monitors will help a lot.

[swift thorn]

ahh i see

wait so, would a generator have more or less varying voltage?

[quiet bane]

are u fr

[swift thorn]

what? it's a genuine question

[quiet bane]

voltage variation in a generator depends on what kind of generator it is and how it's being operated

hello! idk if this is the right place, but im looking to buy myself a new laptop.i was wondering if anyone could help me choose one that wouldnt fry up on me
i have very surface level knowledge on tech

[fresh escarp]

can't relate

[empty quartz]

I have too much ddr3

I have 212gb worth of ddr3

[terse sparrow]

More memory than Nvidia

[empty quartz]

More than amd*

the 5090 has 32gb of vram

[plush wren]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1158628259597144095/1225388210126065704/togif.gif

[terse sparrow]

The 5090 is also like £2000 lol

[plush wren]

its free if you steal one

[terse sparrow]

True

[empty quartz]

I wanna buy a 3090/3090ti

[terse sparrow]

I just got an Rx 9060xt

[plush wren]

when did that release

[empty quartz]

Waste

[plush wren]

oh wait nvm

[terse sparrow]

Not really lol

[terse sparrow]

Yesterday

Nvidia fan boys in the chat

[empty quartz]

Its slower than my gpu

[terse sparrow]

It's faster than my 5700xt

It's all I need.

And I paid msrp

[empty quartz]

Who is the fanboy?

[terse sparrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[empty quartz]

I run rdna 2

(Even tho i Fucking hate it)

[terse sparrow]

I had nothing but problems when I first got my 5700xt

Luckily drivers improved over time lol

Seems to work fine in linux

[empty quartz]

5700xt was shit when it released

[terse sparrow]

Yeah it wasn't great lol

[empty quartz]

Much like most of amd cards

Rdna 2 is nothing but issues

[terse sparrow]

It's been solid up to now

[empty quartz]

No

Have you ever ran rdna 2?

[sinful cobalt]

16gb right

[terse sparrow]

Ofc!

[terse sparrow]

5700xt is rDNA 1 I think?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[terse sparrow]

Yeah so no I haven't used rDNA 2

[sinful cobalt]

5k=rdna1
6k=rdna2
7k=rdna3

[terse sparrow]

I was talking about my card specifically

[empty quartz]

Rdna 2 was a step forward

But thats it

The gpu dyes werent even flat

[sinful cobalt]

thing about amd vs nvidia gpus is that its basically like amd driving a 400hp car against nvidia’s 600hp car in lemans

[empty quartz]

Overclocking is a nightmare aswell

[sinful cobalt]

always riding the slipstream but unable to take the lead

[lethal bay]

I had virtually no issues on RDNA 2 or 3

[empty quartz]

Lucky

[terse sparrow]

I don't want to get into a debate about it tbh lol. It's been ok for me. Not sure what else to say.

[lethal bay]

My 6700XT was fine, my 7900XTX was fine lol

[empty quartz]

Did you do any overclocking?

[lethal bay]

Yeah on both

[empty quartz]

Maybe its just for the higher end cards where the issues arise then

[lethal bay]

I have arguably the best model XTX lol

[empty quartz]

Im talking rdna 2

[lethal bay]

My 6700XT was just a sapphire pulse

[empty quartz]

Mine is a reference card

[lethal bay]

But I MPT’d that card to like 350W lol

[empty quartz]

My card is extremely picky about power

[lethal bay]

Rip

[empty quartz]

Ive fully removed the power limits before, and it shit the bed

[rigid fjord]

it works as a pairing though is this for a build you plan on making later?

[empty quartz]

On the bright side, i have this 🗿

(Im alt_f4)

[lethal bay]

Yeah 3D Mark is funny

[sand epoch]

i hope i don't get disappointed with this 7800xt

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/lighttheme-gif-10344166219647164669

[lethal bay]

Will never forget the time I basically owned the 3070 Speedway charts with a bone stock card lmao

[paper terrace]

@rigid fjord

[lethal bay]

What are you upgrading from

[sand epoch]

nothing

it's a new pc

[empty quartz]

I like how just getting a waterblock for my gpu got me to #1

[rigid fjord]

ah, was going to say, as what your mum will let you have, the cpu requires a mobo swap from the build your mum okayed

[true stirrup]

More mods will not stress the GPU any further tbh
Minecraft cares more about the CPU and ram

[sand epoch]

im kinda suprised it's the same inside packet that came with my sapphire 7800xt and the msi b760m

[lethal bay]

But yeah maybe it’s just your reference model being weird. I remember a dude here with a Red Devil 6800XT on water and dude daily drove it at like 500W lmao

[empty quartz]

I have the 6800

[lethal bay]

Ah

[sand epoch]

is that a standard packaging used by every pc companies?

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[sand epoch]

ohh now I get it

my b760m came with the same packaging

guys is gpu sag a real issue? should I get a anti sag thing right now when the pc is new or get it later?

[paper terrace]

oh she said shes going to give me $360 next month and $100 the month after that
that is confirmed
but i may be able to get mor
so im prob not gonna get that one

[calm idol]

after properly installing check if you can gently push the gpu up at the bottom right corner that is closest to you. if you can push it up easily gently, tighten screws, try again and if it still moves fairly easily consider a brace.

[rigid fjord]

okies and sweet, means you can find a system thast's worth the price of your budget

[true stirrup]

Yes it's a real issue with heavy long GPUs

[true stirrup]

That could definitely sag

[lethal bay]

I personally never had sag issues with a 7900XTX Taichi so

[sinful cobalt]

“throwing flashbang”

[sinful cobalt]

my aorus master is sagging when horizontally mounted

like… alot

[raven scroll]

Cable management is overrated

[true stirrup]

Real

[sinful cobalt]

ATX just shove it all in

matx u prob needa do some work

ITX u definitely do

[raven scroll]

i shove it all in

[sand epoch]

i would hate to have a 700$ not working on me so alright I'll get one

[raven scroll]

doesnt matter if u dont notice from the other side

[sand epoch]

true , i already have too much stress irl

[silent cypress]

r u serious rn brother

[true stirrup]

You can honestly just place anything under the right part of the GPU and call it a day

[silent cypress]

your case has what looks like built in cable managment velcro straps

and this is what u do?

[raven scroll]

still no point

if you can't see it why bother 🤷‍♂️

[paper terrace]

honestly
at this point
imma just get a dell optiplex

she keeps changing her mind aboutthisss

[harsh vector]

Update on the temps:

Replaced the fan case and gpu isn't even breaking the 55 degrees celsius and the CPU max is 78.

Huge improvement from 97 degrees celsius

[sand epoch]

guys how do I even get windows working in the first place after I complete building my pc?

[true stirrup]

It was very very easy but not

Basicly it was hit the reset switch on the router then just login to it then use the basic wizard to set it up then press the guest network tab and make you guessed it a guest network

At least one part of it was dis, took me like 2min to do

if you aint coding in assembly you aint a real one

[gleaming rose]

I can read some assembly but I can't write it yet, just haven't bothered

[clear canyon]

Its not the simple stuff like before

[molten kestrel]

@clear canyon sorry for the impatiance but anything more onthe ram?

yes but see I know most of that to an extent

5-10 is confusing

btw it just blue screened again saying exeption memory fault or sm

Basically 5 or lower is just a fail
You don't even get a number

[molten kestrel]

@tidal geyser is that a baaaaaaaad thing???

[clear canyon]

For data structures, im talking about classes, sorting algorithms, the data tree things, etc

[molten kestrel]

@clear canyon since you have dealt with corsair before how is ther customer service? cuase im bout to fuckin meet em

My crucial p3 pro (QLC dramless) has reached HDD speeds now at 90% full

Wait forgot to check if mp600 pro has dram, but is TLC tho

I work with big and small files + gaming
big I mean a few gb's 10gb at most

In gaming, the crucial one holds up fine even while 90% full

[tidal geyser]

as long as its TLC it will not drop too hard

[tidal geyser]

well yea your fps is not stored in it or smn

[hasty warren]

What about thermals
Do you think it will hold up with laptop's cooling pad (removing its big chunky heatsink)

[hasty warren]

I mean loading areas not fps

[tidal geyser]

from budget sata ssd to pcie 5 ssd its like 10 sec max

[worn tinsel]

what AMD GPUs are equivalent to N-shittia's 4000 series?

[carmine yew]

SSD Thermals are not nearly as important, SSDs need to run warm

[latent pasture]

it is for gen5 but mp600 isnt anyway

[carmine yew]

depends on what gpu you're comparing it too

[worn tinsel]

say 4070

cause i want an upgrade but wayland is a ass with nvidia drivers haha

[carmine yew]

9060 XT 16GB is probably decent competition, or the 9070-non-XT

or for prev gen, a 7900 XT (but only if it's a good price)

[worn tinsel]

sounds good tysm

[winter lantern]

Ive seen a 7900xt for 650 usd
Sounds like the minimum good price

[carmine yew]

fuck is that a terrible price

might be worth it around 500 bucks today?

[winter lantern]

A 5070 is 50$ less

[worn tinsel]

damn i found a good looking 9060 for 378 and then i realised it only has 3 display connectors the curse of having 4 monitors

[winter lantern]

And a 9070xt is 150$ more

[latent pasture]

does ur cpu not have igpu

[worn tinsel]

it does not

[latent pasture]

ngekers

[winter lantern]

Just have 1 really big monitor

[latent pasture]

replace one of ur monitor with ultrawide

[worn tinsel]

yeah but then i have to buy a new monitor

[winter lantern]

1 monitor

[worn tinsel]

i was thinking of buying an ultra wide and replacing one of my monitors, have 3 x 16:10 monitors and then get an ultra wide

put the ultrawide on the bottom and the others on their arms above

[winter lantern]

32:9 is dumb asf you dont need it

[latent pasture]

redo ur habits to use only 3 monitors

[winter lantern]

21:9 is good

[tidal geyser]

why is the 4090 still there

[worn tinsel]

having 4 makes my job so easy though, i teach game dev so i have unreal open on one monitor, the class register open on another, my emails on another because i get loads of them for whatever reason and then one for if i need to look at the docs or sumn

[winter lantern]

Its the same picture

[worn tinsel]

i could use a vertical monitor though, put a 16:10 vertical

then it'd all fit nicely

I need some tech help

pls

[bronze summit]

Sim, quick what cyberpunk tech would you get from the game in real life if they exist?

[sharp hound]

does 40% battery loss in 2 years too fast for an xps laptop?

[winter lantern]

Apple vision pro 🥀

[tidal geyser]

uuuhhh no clue

[tidal geyser]

not if you use it a lot

[latent pasture]

the hacking shit

[sharp hound]

use it everyday

[tidal geyser]

then its normal

[winter lantern]

I mean its not like the tech is that cool cause cyberpunk is a pretty shit world

[latent pasture]

40% though???

[sharp hound]

what percent turns it into a spicy pillow

i want to avoid that

[tidal geyser]

uuhhhhh a 90% battery can be a pillow

[sharp hound]

yea currently at 60% life

[tidal geyser]

there is no set percent

its more just up to luck

[sharp hound]

luckly at 60 it seems fine

[latent pasture]

my sister leaves cleaning and upgrading her laptop up to me
it has inflated battery but i havent told her yet

[sharp hound]

i only ran like 125 cycles

i keep it plugged in

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa that might be why

[sharp hound]

hence the low number

[tidal geyser]

some laptops not sure if the XPS can but just passtrough the power to the rest of the parts once the battery is full but sadly not all laptops do that aka you can see what is going on with you

[latent pasture]

hmmm

[sharp hound]

people clown on me on this server for getting an xps with a 4050 for college

[tidal geyser]

[latent pasture]

they probably clown on the cost

[sharp hound]

bro never took it off charge

[tidal geyser]

its not a gaming laptop

[sharp hound]

yea cause gaming laptops are the cheapest builds

my laptop has carbon fiber inlays

[tidal geyser]

4050 is nice for nvenc and cuda

[late path]

ask me anything about pc building (I'm a complete beginner)

[latent pasture]

bc u can get a 'gaming' laptop with similar specs for like half the price
and the word "gaming' gives it a bad rep when many of them are made of metal, oled or miniled screens etc

[winter lantern]

A 4050 is a gaming laptop
It can game

ran elden ring 1080p with raytracing fine

[tidal geyser]

what sub timings for the ram and ddr speeds should i go for my cpu to get the best 1:1 with my IMC

[sharp hound]

also runs marvel rivals

[winter lantern]

Elden rings runs on most things

[latent pasture]

you just have to choose right which isnt hard unless u dum

[sharp hound]

and other games

[late path]

What's a IMC?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[late path]

[latent pasture]

simple question what battery is used for cmos

[sharp hound]

people have trouble with anything below a 3060

[late path]

button batteries

the little coin shaped ones

[latent pasture]

for rt maybe
without rt its actually really easy to run

[latent pasture]

theres like 10 sizes of those which one

[ripe spire]

Man I love lipos

[crystal harbor]

would a 5070ti at msrp (£729) be a good value gpu to upgrade to for a 1440p build with a i5-14600k

[sharp hound]

what would be a good benchmark game cyberpunk 2077?

[latent pasture]

no

[late path]

Depends on mobo??? (gulp)

[latent pasture]

uk has good prices for rx 9070xt actually

[winter lantern]

1650 super can run spiderman 2 at 50fps
It looks not great tho

[latent pasture]

yeah i checked and 9070xt is around £650

[sharp hound]

is cyberpunk a good benchmark?

[latent pasture]

and performs abt as good as 5070ti

[crystal harbor]

can you elaborate why at least?, going from a 3060ti fe where my gpu is always at 100% util and 8gb vram is shitty now and like at a constant 80c (all while gaming obv)

[tidal geyser]

just grab the 9070 xt

[latent pasture]

the canned benchmark is good for gpu only
for cpu manual roaming in dogtown or city center is better iirc

[tidal geyser]

[sharp hound]

my cpu isnt bad but not the best i7 13700h

[latent pasture]

no i mean not the 5070ti
not dont upgrade

[winter lantern]

It runs on most gpus so not really

[lavish needle]

What low spec program should I use for changing keys and bpm of audio

[tidal geyser]

uuuhhh audacity?

[winter lantern]

The price bros buying for aint even a deal
Thats normal resell price

[lavish needle]

Thank

[carmine yew]

it's not bad, but the 5000 series drivers have been abysmal

[latent pasture]

5070ti vs 9070xt prices

[carmine yew]

NVidia has literally had worse drivers since the 5000 series launch than any other brand in my memory

[sharp hound]

Current specs Upgrade

GPU: 4050
CPU: i7 13700h
Ram: 16GB-> 32GB
Memory: 500gb SSD -> External SSD 2 TB

is this worth it

[latent pasture]

if u really want cuda for like ai i guess and r hoping they make it through driver hell then its not like its a super massive difference assuming u have a decent income

[latent gull]

It’s also retroactively somehow made the 30 series drivers worse

[tidal geyser]

today

[winter lantern]

Terrible 9070xt prices

[tidal geyser]

just upgrade the internal one

[tidal geyser]

wat

its about the same performance

[latent pasture]

at least its actually msrp lol go check usa

[sharp hound]

i mean i already got external

[tidal geyser]

what £100 save for the save performance and way less driver issues, where do i sign

[winter lantern]

Oh yeah its not buying used

[tidal geyser]

o well then its fine

[sharp hound]

what abt ram

anway i probably need to change the battery

[tidal geyser]

ram fine

[crystal harbor]

dont get me wrong w the 9070xt being good, but the features amd offer are there but seem to not be as strong compared to nvidia, like dlss is better then fsr

[sharp hound]

you mean no upgrade?

[winter lantern]

Thats the price in the us with tax

[tidal geyser]

wat fsr that it got is about on par

[sharp hound]

im usng 88% memory idle

[winter lantern]

Not in as many games

[sharp hound]

i need more ram

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows

[tidal geyser]

dll swap

anyhow it got it and it should be 100+ before the end of 2025

[latent pasture]

fsr4 has caught up so hard that most reviewers even when paused and zoomed in and pixel peeping (are you actually doing this while gaming?) actually say that its either or now
its because amd r now doing the same as nvidia where fsr4 unfortunately requires 9000 gpu not just free

[crystal harbor]

got it

[tidal geyser]

rx 9000 is now finnaly able to use some more AI tech making it usable for upscaling

[winter lantern]

Yeah cause amd doesn't support their past users like nvidia 🥀

[tidal geyser]

wat???????
i at least know back to rx 400 got a driver update only a few weeks ago

[sharp hound]

well techincally not idle i think idle is 49%
4 tabs on ms edge makes it 88%

@tidal geyser still reinstall?

[tidal geyser]

a reinstall is always nice tbh if you are able to

[latent pasture]

on 16gb ram?

[sharp hound]

yep

[tidal geyser]

but ofc you could just slap i some more ram if ya got the money it aint gonna hurt ya

[sharp hound]

wait i found the issue

nvm

steam and telegram were open

[winter lantern]

Sodium ram 🔥

[sharp hound]

wait that did nothing

tf

still 86%

[tidal geyser]

i know on a CLEAN install i manage 2-3GB idle

[winter lantern]

Yeah why would 2 apps do that 🥀

[latent pasture]

i have like 3x the tabs and an android emulator running and still use less lol

sort by memory on task manager

[fallen sky]

GPU of the century right here

[tidal geyser]

no that is every nvidia gpu

na not every but way too many

[sharp hound]

tf how did you acheive that

[molten kestrel]

my pc freezes intermintently

[tidal geyser]

going to the nvidia site

[fallen sky]

It was from April fools day

[sharp hound]

missed it lol

[molten kestrel]

help

[sharp hound]

i bet its out of stock because scalpers already took them all

💀

[fallen sky]

Sold for $10k each

[tidal geyser]

buuu it sgone

[solar moat]

CAT

[empty quartz]

@latent pasture i need your opinion

Im building a workstation, and im stuck between 2 choices for a gpu

The 2 options i was considering was an arc b580, and quadro rtx 4000

[hidden hill]

what causes my icons to do this..

[jaunty apex]

Can't find the associated app usually

[hidden hill]

they all open fine

most of them are steam games

besides for honor and clair obscur

[placid belfry]

my ryzen 5 3600x stock cooler is extremely loud under load, anyone knows a good low noise one?

[tidal geyser]

repaste

but just grab a phantom spirit 120 se

[placid belfry]

i just typed that

check my message history

[tidal geyser]

wat

[placid belfry]

you said repaste

[tidal geyser]

i know

[placid belfry]

OHHH repaste the thermal compound

[tidal geyser]

yea?

[placid belfry]

[tidal geyser]

did you think i said replace?

[placid belfry]

thought you meant my statement being a copy paste

[tidal geyser]

aaaa

[placid belfry]

[tidal geyser]

yeah no i meant repaste as in replace the thermal paste

just get mx 6

oooooorrrrr 214 XT or just for not needing to think about cooler phantom spirit 120 se

[kindred halo]

Found a full Lenovo desktop w/ an 8400, 8gb of DDR4, and a 250gb SSD for 100

Don't know what resolution the monitor is yet though

[placid belfry]

well my problem is quite severe, i can't repaste,
i over tightened the screws for the cooler,
so now they don't come off, they infinitely spin inside the housing
so i need to also replace the mounting bracket on the back and break those screws off

[kindred halo]

I think it might be possible to talk the guy down to like 70

If so, then it's a closed deal

[tidal geyser]

oooo boy, might almost need to go am5 there mate

[placid belfry]

ye it's quite the ordeal

[tidal geyser]

i managed to fix mine by doing some funky stuff

no clue how i managed to save the motherboard but i did

cooler and backplate became very much not worky

[edgy holly]

car

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser i have to spend like $600 to upgrade my workstation 🥀

[tidal geyser]

ha

[tidal geyser]

no its cat

look how sad he is

[edgy holly]

:c why so sad

[empty quartz]

I need to spend like 200-400 cad on ram alone

[tidal geyser]

he is in h510

[edgy holly]

:c sadge

[tidal geyser]

yup same issue

[placid belfry]

Ye gotta get a new one of these

[tidal geyser]

but i was not the one that did it

[edgy holly]

tell him he justs need to do another cyberpunk playthrough like me
