[faint flower]

Yeah

[kindred halo]

9060 XT 8GB is under 300€, 9060 XT 16GB is right about 300€

At MSRP, which will be a bit of a stretch to find

[faint flower]

Not atm sadly

Goes for around 400

[kindred halo]

Mhm

[kindred halo]

Which one? The 16gb?

[faint flower]

The 16 yeah

[random gyro]

buy a playstation 2

[faint flower]

The 8 dor like 350

[random gyro]

cant go wrong with a ps2

[kindred halo]

That's.. A bit surprising
Thought they were going for like 300ish

[faint flower]

Not in austria i guess

But i can wait i guess

[kindred halo]

I guess so

[faint flower]

Well thanks

[sinful cobalt]

If I was american I’d take a 9070xt anyday of the week for $600 if the 5070ti is at $750

Unfortunately thats not the case for yall

[frigid topaz]

Man why is it so hard to convince someone to not buy a expensive motherboard, most features are useless to him

He think 150/160 is normal price

[dusky citrus]

I´m wondering if there is a limit to the SSD capacity that a laptop can handle?
like 1tb, 2tb or 4tb?
My laptop is Asus TUF f15 FX507ZI

i currently only have a 500gb ssd in the laptop but im pretty sure it also has a second ssd slot

i just need to know if its ok for me to buy a 2tb ssd or do i need to stick to 1tb

anyone?

[night skiff]

I think my motherboard fucked my cpu

ASRock b650 with 9800x3d

[frigid topaz]

Damn

[sinful cobalt]

any used b450/b550

[frigid topaz]

He had a 12400f and he's upgrading to ddr5

[night skiff]

It doesn’t give any image I turn on and it’s black screen

[sinful cobalt]

If you did not update bios or used PBO u had it coming

[night skiff]

I bought the pc on the shop they build it they installed the windows and said they putted the bios and everything right so idk what happened

[sinful cobalt]

I mean the most recent bios

The old bios that are only flagged as compatible can fry the cpu

[night skiff]

I bought the pc 3 months ago

So I think it was the recent bios

[sinful cobalt]

The new bios which was a month ago only had incidents involving pbo

[night skiff]

It did 4 months today

[sinful cobalt]

send it back to the pc shop lmao

[night skiff]

What is pbo

[sinful cobalt]

precision boost overdrive aka amd overclocking

[night skiff]

I will I will they will fix this

I hope the cover everything

It has a warranty so I’m good

I think so

But I opened the cpu and its ok it’s not fried and nothing

It’s perfectly normal

So I really don’t know what happened

[sinful cobalt]

if u tell them that goodbye warranty btw

[night skiff]

Really?

[sinful cobalt]

they’ll shit any excuse to avoid the warranty

if they u dont tell them they’ll go as normal

[south sphinx]

Try reseating cpu or ram. If dosent work, then reseat gpu or try donor cpu. Also check if there's any bent pins

[sinful cobalt]

if its a ram issue both will light up

[night skiff]

Ohh okok so I will say nothing but idk if they will notice that I opened cause I can't squeeze it as tight as it was

[south sphinx]

(you need thermal paste to reseat cpu)

[sinful cobalt]

not really tbh

[south sphinx]

Yeah but still, can cause issues like that

[night skiff]

I don’t know how do I do that so better don’t touch

[south sphinx]

Reusing paste is no go for me tho

[night skiff]

Some days before it was like this

Now it’s just the cpu light

[sinful cobalt]

u can for simple testinf

[south sphinx]

You can try reseating ram, its easy or just swich for another one or try one by one.. might be one dead stick

[night skiff]

But I just bought it

Ohhh and wait

[sinful cobalt]

tbh he doesnt need to reseat ram

POST will identify the problem and if ram doesnt light up, then it isnt ram

ill only check ram if its up

[night skiff]

When I plug the D cable to my gpu and my monitor it’s black screen when i putted the cable on the mobo it gives image but now it all black

And the gpu is fine cause I putted in my old pc and it works

[south sphinx]

Yeah but thats all about of troubleshooting, you cant know everything by just guessing, right?

[sinful cobalt]

its not guessing the motherboard literally says the ram cleared post

if the led doesnt light

[south sphinx]

It should turn on then off if its alright, if it stays on its a diagnostic sign

Saying there's something wrong

[south sphinx]

That's out then, gpu works. You can diagnose the ram, cpu or even motherboard.

[candid bolt]

Is it possible to buy rubber gromits for a case? I have the cg 580

[random gyro]

am I the only one who used to think linus used to be gay

[jaunty apex]

No

[random gyro]

Steam go vroom

[solar moat]

my pc cant dream of those speeds

[random gyro]

My PC doesn't need to 😁

Linus is straight

[odd marsh]

he has a wife and 3 kids

[solar moat]

if he dose like men he is bi then

[solar moat]

dose not mean you dont like men

[random gyro]

Phillips Schofield had a wife and kids...

And then it turned out he was gay

Then it turned out he was grooming a 15 year old boy

[solar moat]

why do i think of allen turing did he not have a wife

[latent pasture]

where eyes

[random gyro]

I'm just giving an example of a man who was married had kids but then turned out to be both gay and a nonce

[odd marsh]

he was not married

[random gyro]

Chris Tyson had a wife and a kid

[random gyro]

He was briefly engaged but the marriage was called off when he came out as gay.

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/bxw0w.gif

[random gyro]

Then they will worried he was doing some sneaky traitories treason level shit like giving away secrets so they had somebody spy on him and it turns out he was just covertly hiring a rent boy

[solar moat]

i did not lissen much in history class

[random gyro]

So when they found out he was gay it was either a year of prison or two years of chemical castration so he chose the chemical castration because he didn't want to lose his machine but then he killed himself

[solar moat]

if only time travle was a thing

[random gyro]

He was given a royal pardon but that was after he killed himself

[keen stratus]

How do I fix this?

[twin thunder]

Press delete partition

Then you can install

[keen stratus]

I did

It says unallocated now but still same error

[twin thunder]

Press format

If it's in MBR you have to convert to gpt

[twin thunder]

If your drive is mbr then do this and then it works https://youtu.be/f81qKAJUdKc?si=4ObWEUgbPknowTc8

[keen stratus]

I did that

[twin thunder]

Screenshot what it currently shows

[keen stratus]

Cmd or the disk screen?

[twin thunder]

[ebon marlin]

It's always the boy kisser PFP users

Are you even old enough to use discord

No

Just the transphobia was unnecessary

You don't even know what that word means

Neither is mine

English is my 3rd language

Is that the guy from Dead by Daylight in ur PFP no way

[static inlet]

dude what

it’s stranger things

[ebon marlin]

Naahh

[static inlet]

dead by daylight copied it

[ebon marlin]

Naahh Stranger Things copied it

[latent tundra]

am I late

press the New button

[keen stratus]

And?

[latent tundra]

OK

no like literally press OK

[keen stratus]

Done

[latent tundra]

actually OK or create I sorta forgot but it basically gonna create the partition necessary for Windows install

[keen stratus]

Yeah dine

[latent tundra]

show me how is it looked like

[keen stratus]

I clicked next but still same error

[latent tundra]

which ones you choose

show

also dw I'm chill

[keen stratus]

Ok

[static inlet]

Mr information when he finds out people are spreading ms information

[ebon marlin]

see I knew it was him from Dead by Daylight

[static inlet]

kris tyson is still in mrbeast vids

[latent tundra]

waiting

[keen stratus]

Gimme a min

[static inlet]

The whole game copied stranger things anyway, since vecna is in the game

[ebon marlin]

I don't watch mr beast but pretty sure she got dropped like immediatly after everything got exposed

[keen stratus]

Ok wait do I need to change partition size or keep it as is?

[latent tundra]

no

[keen stratus]

Alr

[ebon marlin]

bro you are definetily not old enough to use discord

[latent tundra]

also this is why I asked you to show what you got after you press new and follow all the steps

[static inlet]

Also ain’t that copyright?

They literally ripped that from ST

[ebon marlin]

they acquired the rights to have Stranger Things in their game ages ago

[latent tundra]

because there should be three partitions windows made when you did that

[static inlet]

The whole plot of dead by daylight is copied from stranger things

[ebon marlin]

all the way back in 2019

[static inlet]

They literally copied the same villain from st too

Vecna

[ebon marlin]

different kind of vecna

the dungeons and dragons vecna

[static inlet]

Vecna is the main enemy in s4 st

[shut elbow]

is 9070xt and 9800x3d upgrade gonna be good enough to run 4k at good framerates?

[ebon marlin]

yuh

[shut elbow]

ii sit about 90-120 on most games with raster only and mid-high settings with a 6950xt and a R5 7600

[shut elbow]

ok so do i put it on my credit card

[ebon marlin]

of course

[shut elbow]

and fuck myself for the next 12 months

[ebon marlin]

that's the whole point of credit cards

[shut elbow]

or save and use my debit card

[ebon marlin]

just max out the card all at once

[shut elbow]

but it will be my first purchase on

lk scared

[shut elbow]

ive got a 47k limit bro

[keen stratus]

@latent tundra

[shut elbow]

fuck no

[ebon marlin]

buy 47k worth of stuff

or

if you want to do it safely

[shut elbow]

i will put my great grandchildren in financial ruin as soon as they are born

[ebon marlin]

[ebon marlin]

[shut elbow]

oh ok s

[latent tundra]

yep, no
it's not supposed to be just single drive partition

[shut elbow]

i should probably get more then 2tb

ssd

[ebon marlin]

you have a 47k budget that's enough to get you anything you'd want

[latent tundra]

wait

[shut elbow]

brother thats not my budget

[latent tundra]

did you delete all three drive partition

[shut elbow]

i have like a 2.5k budget

yeah. Not supposed to be deleted. When you click New on that, just hit Apply, and then OK

[shut elbow]

is it 27" 4k?!?!

[ebon marlin]

nah I don't want 4k

[shut elbow]

fair

[latent tundra]

redo the step. Delete, New, Apply, OK @keen stratus

i don't want to be forced to upgrade my hardware after every couple years

[plush wren]

i'd still be on 1080p bro

[ebon marlin]

my 5800x3d + 6800xt is enough

[shut elbow]

i turn the chin lgith off and sit in a pitch black room

[ebon marlin]

i'll most likely upgrade to a 6950xt since they go for 350€ here

[shut elbow]

i dont notice it

but it is fuck ugly

but your pfp has dark fur?

New phone who dis

[plush wren]

Bro's downolading or updating dbd

[iron glen]

the guy who can't get his NAS working

[ebon marlin]

Updating

[tidal geyser]

No but I did get a new phone not long ago with so many fancy things and the pics it takes are amazing

[tidal geyser]

I have 3

[plush wren]

Ok

[iron glen]

im thinking about nothing phone a3 but idk how the camera is

haven't looked in to it either :P (blehh)

[plush wren]

Stop saying this

What is jibba

[ebon marlin]

He's just saying a censored version of the n-word

[tidal geyser]

Those photos were taken on a Motorola edge 50 pro with 12GB of ram 125w charging that came with such a charger 144hz screen and 512GB of storage and all I paid was 380USD converted new

[plush wren]

Its an actual word though

[ebon marlin]

That is not what that word means

[ebon marlin]

I know but it's not a slur lol

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

But the kid is using it like a slir

[plush wren]

ik btw

[iron glen]

what N word

[plush wren]

Cause he said stop me jibba

Employment

[keen stratus]

Wait I'm starting it all over again but I pulled out the ssd and I see a disk c and a disk x named boot but I have only a hdd connected

[ebon marlin]

Transphobia isn't appropriate yet you're still being inappropriate so that doesn't really help with ur case much

[shut elbow]

is a 7900xtx better then a 9070 xt

for 4k

[ebon marlin]

9070xt is better performing but 7900xtx has the added bonus of 24gb of vram

You don't know what that word means kiddo

[shut elbow]

yeah 24gb is enticing

[latent tundra]

mind if I DM this chat is something else

[shut elbow]

and i dont have a DP 2.1 monitor

not a fan on FSR/DLSS anyway

[iron glen]

that is an argument to their statement how?

[shut elbow]

i think 7900 xtx

[ebon marlin]

Good let it stay like that

[keen stratus]

Yea alr

[ebon marlin]

Never said you are

[iron glen]

no :P (blehhhh)

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt More efficient, more efficient vram, way way better RT performance

[ebon marlin]

I know

[tidal geyser]

If he ever wants to use upscaling far 4 is actually good

[shut elbow]

SIM

[iron glen]

anyone know any good eurodance songs?

need a playlist for car stereo in video game

[tidal geyser]

Fyi I own a 7900 xtx

[ebon marlin]

Says the person who's also being transphobic

[ebon marlin]

Yeah FSR4 is really impressive

[iron glen]

sim how do you feel about optiplex with 4060

im broke and don't have any other gpu to put in it

[ebon marlin]

Ur 1 Google search away from understanding what that word means

[tidal geyser]

Not really safely possible

[shut elbow]

is it worth the upgrade from a 6950xt for 4k, when the 9070xt is around $300 cheaper for me

[ebon marlin]

Mhm

[shut elbow]

for more vram

[tidal geyser]

By a lot yes and playing without upscaling on modern games in 4k is going to be hard even on a 5090

[iron glen]

how so

[shut elbow]

ok so get 9070 not 7900?

[tidal geyser]

There is only a small handful of games on maxed out rt at 4k with everything maxed out that can even get close to go over the vram limit

[ebon marlin]

Ragebait or mental underdevelopment
Call it

[shut elbow]

yeah i think 16gb is safe for now

[tidal geyser]

I have yet to see a optiplex with a 6 or 8 pin PCIe power

[tidal geyser]

Yes I would say so

[iron glen]

that is a good point actually

okay im just gona use the optiplex case than

hopefully it works 🤞

[tidal geyser]

It does have sata power yes but I'm not sure it's made to do even 75w

[rigid ether]

fsr4 visual quality also improved a lot, its very close to dlss4

[shut elbow]

and i dont need to get a new mobo for 9800x3d if i already run am5?

[tidal geyser]

Wait big or smol

[shut elbow]

just bios flash, idk how to do it tho

[rigid ether]

nop

[iron glen]

idk my optiplex 9010 is so ancient it can't run google

[tidal geyser]

It's PCIe

[iron glen]

i think its a mid tower

[tidal geyser]

O wait that

[iron glen]

cuz its abt the size of my pc which is also a mid tower

[shut elbow]

im getting a 9800x3d and 9070

[tidal geyser]

No every cpu is compatible with every motherboard on am5

[shut elbow]

ok

am i wrong iin thinking zen architechture is chipset related

[tidal geyser]

All you need is a bios update

[shut elbow]

cuz i got zen4 i think

[tidal geyser]

No amd is not like Intel

[shut elbow]

common amd W

[rigid ether]

zen 4 and zen 5 are both AM5

[shut elbow]

sweet

[rigid ether]

so all is good

[tidal geyser]

I love how you can oc on about all amd motherboards same with cpu

How effective might it be on a a320 with no vrm heatsinks I dono but you can most of the time since PBO is fun

[shut elbow]

is there much diff between gpu brands

[ebon marlin]

Alot of A320's can run the 5950x at full power

[shut elbow]

i think i seen someone say powercolor hellhound was faster

idk

[ebon marlin]

GPU brand doesn't matter

Just get the cheapest card

[tidal geyser]

I dono about that one

[ebon marlin]

Yes it's true

[tidal geyser]

No

[ebon marlin]

Only difference in different GPU brand models is it's outer plastic shell and slight tweaks in it's clock speeds which is basically nothing

[unborn oyster]

best AMD cpu for gaming right now? looking to upgrade from 13600k

[ebon marlin]

9800x3s

[iron glen]

most hilariousest ban i evr seen

[ebon marlin]

They had it coming for them

[tidal geyser]

S stands for I'm on phone

But no 9800x3d is the best gaming CPU money can buy

[rigid fjord]

tbf, you want a little more than 16gb vram when it comes to 4k res and gaming

[agile topaz]

The 9070XT will be better for a bit of time until 24gb becomes the minimum

AMD FineWine

[shut elbow]

i dont really play latest games anyway

ready or not is prob the hardest game to run i play

will be getting oblivion remastered tho

that might be intersting

[tidal geyser]

Eh I would hope the memory improvements and did this gen is gonna save it

[iron glen]

sup rauko

[raven scroll]

Hi eberyone

[unborn oyster]

and whats a decent motherboard for 9800X3D? or they all pretty much the same?

[tidal geyser]

Just go for the cheapest with a vrm heatsink

[raven scroll]

Depends on budget ofc

[tidal geyser]

Not really

Like 150 is all you ever really need

[raven scroll]

Well if you spend more you get more features usually more/faster usb ports or just aesthetic wise

[tidal geyser]

Only the last part really

[raven scroll]

?

[unborn oyster]

dont need the best that will be "overpriced", many options between 100-200 gbp, so 200 max I would say

[tidal geyser]

When would you even need faster then 10gig usb

[shut elbow]

ok

[tidal geyser]

Or more then like 8 ports

[shut elbow]

justg spent 2.3k

[raven scroll]

Well you don’t necessarily need it I’m just saying higher end mobos usually have faster or more usb ports

[slim saffron]

anyone using the ryzen 5 4600g?

[tidal geyser]

Sad cpu

[hallow jasper]

is that necessary to answer your question?

[slim saffron]

kinda

[tidal geyser]

2.5 gig lan, wifi 6e, 3 nvme slots, great VRM cooling, and so on for a massive 133GBP

[slim saffron]

i know but i got it as a hand me down from my brother so not bad for an am4 rig

[hallow jasper]

free is good

(to a point)

[tidal geyser]

4600g is good enough

[hallow jasper]

8MB

[tidal geyser]

I did not say it was good

[slim saffron]

its good enough

[tidal geyser]

At least its better then last gen with just 4 cores

[slim saffron]

hey its free

[hallow jasper]

I guess we'll never know the question

[slim saffron]

cant complain much

pairing it with a 1070ti

[tidal geyser]

Nice

[junior valve]

noctua fan

[unborn oyster]

and lastly, do I need to upgrade my psu? EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G3, with 7900 XT, 9800X3D, Gigabyte B650... (idk what other parts might effect this much)

[tidal geyser]

I would yolo it

The 7900 xt is not a 5090

Nor is the CPU that

[unborn oyster]

alright, yolo

[slim saffron]

is that even enough though

arent those like power hungry components

[unborn oyster]

whats the worst that can happen if psu not strong enough?

[tidal geyser]

How much

[rigid ether]

underpowered

[tidal geyser]

The pc turns off in the middle of a game

[rigid ether]

less fps or the pc turns off

[tidal geyser]

How would that work?????

The first part before you read what I said

[unborn oyster]

I see, so I can yolo and then upgrade if its not good enough

[tidal geyser]

It's funny many of the upgrade videos are like that

[rigid ether]

ur performance can throttle

[tidal geyser]

How

[rigid ether]

underpowered components

[tidal geyser]

So the components can sense how much power the PSU can give out?

No they can't

[proper gull]

What are you smoking

[rigid ether]

the components can receive less than the optimal power requirements

[proper gull]

That's not how power works

[tidal geyser]

No

[proper gull]

The components draw whatever they're going to draw and if the supply can't handle it, protections shut it off

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[proper gull]

If the supply lacks these protections, the supply combusts

[tidal geyser]

Power needs to be made at the same time it's used or well in DC has to be converted at and then available at the same time as it needs to ve used

[rigid fjord]

unfortunately, nope, especially with high/ultra settings at 4k res and gaming

[unborn oyster]

and can i stick gen3 nvme into gen4/5 slot?

[tidal geyser]

Backwards and forwards compatible

[rigid fjord]

easily

[tidal geyser]

You can stick a first gen nvme in a 6th gen slot

PCIe is usb of the higher bandwidth world

[unborn oyster]

alright, -£563, surely will make me happy

[rigid fjord]

either complete shutdown or the system restarts tbh

[rigid fjord]

not when it's a weaker psu, you get either a shutdown or restart instead

[robust trail]

Remember kids, gen3 nvme is usually inexpensive and you’re extremely unlikely to notice a difference in real world usage 🦦

[rigid fjord]

gen4 also getting that way

[tidal geyser]

In Norway gen 4 is about as spensive as gen 3

[robust trail]

Yeah gen4 is getting that way. I still gobble up gen3 drives

[hallow jasper]

dear lord

[robust trail]

Unless I’m benchmarking a data pipeline, then I’ll reach for a very fast drive

[odd marsh]

you might be the only user in here that I would consider having a usecase for a gen 5 drive

[rigid fjord]

he's not the only one that has a use case for it, but because of his job it's a requirement

[robust trail]

Even I have a hard time kicking the shit out of a gen5 drive

[latent pasture]

my favorite gen5 adjacent factoid

[robust trail]

Thermal throttle is real

And shutdown

[tidal geyser]

The only thing we need now is even more density when it comes to storage

Imagine a single 16TB m.2

That also does not cost more the god, that would be amazing

[latent pasture]

5lc please

[odd marsh]

custom loop your SSDs

[rigid fjord]

with some gen5 drives, yes you need to

[rigid fjord]

i'm surprised alphacool doesn't have an m.2 waterblock/aio

[sleek ibex]

[mental geyser]

are #tech-chat-1 and #tech-chat-2 only for pc stuff or.

[rigid fjord]

for multiple tech stuff

[mental geyser]

does that include handhelds

[hallow jasper]

If you're going to buy a Gen5 drive, look at the absolute latest ones. Heat is becoming less of an issue. Sandisk is figuring it out with the SN8100

sometimes food also, because food is tech, or powers it 😉

[south arrow]

Adding salt broth and heat is all chemistry that can lead to tech uwu and myte just be alil hungry

[mental geyser]

im guessing thats a no

[south arrow]

It's a yus any tech is fine

[mental geyser]

idk man im confused

[south arrow]

Some dudes in here just talk about electricity, some phone signals, some like games, some pcs, etc etc

[mental geyser]

I can't decide if I should get a lenovo legion go or an asus rog ally

[mental geyser]

penovo

[raven scroll]

I’ve heard a lot of praise for rog ally

[thorny saddle]

@robust trail

[rigid fjord]

whichever is using an amd z2 extreme

[mental geyser]

idk which one bro

[rigid fjord]

googling the specs will tell you

also not your bro

[mental geyser]

sister

[south arrow]

New oled who diss?

[rigid fjord]

not your sister either

[mental geyser]

my dog?

[south arrow]

Rauko=Raaaaauko

[thorny saddle]

Lil test project 🤙

[mental geyser]

dad?

mom?

pick one bro

[mental geyser]

none

they're both amd z1

[south arrow]

One got more ram?

[mental geyser]

I think legion go does the thing the switch 2 does tho

[rigid fjord]

nope, i bet one of them is a Z1 Extreme instead

[mental geyser]

they're both extreme

[south arrow]

Same price?

[mental geyser]

idk they both need me to sell my kidney

[rigid fjord]

then they're not z1's, amd's Z1's are not the same as amd's Z1 Extremes

[mental geyser]

I literally do not care right now

[south arrow]

Jay mews like xD

[south arrow]

I did miss this msg, ive been waiting

[mental geyser]

ones 580€ and the others 485 on discount

[south arrow]

The latest ones I saw where z2s but no extreme yet that was a few months back

[rigid fjord]

legion go 2 is suppose to be z2 /z2e

[south arrow]

100 off is a good leap if same specs but a better chip os going to go a long way in general feel

[mental geyser]

there's a legion go 2?

[rigid fjord]

been due out for a while

[south arrow]

As of last few months yess they are releasing slowly

I should browse

[mental geyser]

Also they're both 16 gb ram

[rigid fjord]

august/september times is suppose to be the official release date

[south arrow]

A few z2go not seeing extremes yet

[agile topaz]

I think its pretty funny how aluminum went from this insane material that was extremely difficult to produce to being one of the biggest symbols of something almost cheaper than water to produce

[mental geyser]

what is that

[rigid fjord]

a legion go s

[south arrow]

Best buy(local main store thats all over the country) handhelds

With the z2go chip vs z1 but I hear its not a major improvement over the z1 extreme so I've been waiting for the later models

These are 2 of the newest models (steam deck, rog etc will be in competition for a bit here)

[mental geyser]

oh

[south arrow]

And maybe Xbox soon if rumors are true

[mental geyser]

We may have a problem.

[south arrow]

Crumples like a tin can keks has its uses though

[mental geyser]

Wtf

Nvm

We still have a problem.

[mental geyser]

I am not from the United States of awesome

[south arrow]

Whatever place you buy handheld from im sure theres 1 or 2 within a city nearby

Or if they manufactures sell directly via their website maybes

[mental geyser]

There's one online but its like 800 euroezz

[south arrow]

But id still rec waiting for z2 extreme chips

As that'll drop the prices of all Z1s and Z2go systems (well should especially used market)

[mental geyser]

Can they even do anything other than open steam games

[south arrow]

If you wanted, options ❤️

[mental geyser]

Are they even an actual pc

[south arrow]

Some mod for emulation but that depends on ones skills and patience

Some change the OS just depends what they get and what they look up

[mental geyser]

Can I do anything other than open steam games

And how much fps does it get on bloons tower defence 6

[south arrow]

I only got a switch and a vita and a psp so idk fams, but I support your goal 🙂

[mental geyser]

should I just get a laptop instead

[reef lily]

What are we asking about? The Steam Deck or?

[mental geyser]

Lenovo legion go and asus rog ally

[mental geyser]

If so which one

[fringe prairie]

yes

you'll want a usb c dock and kbm tho

[reef lily]

Oh, not sure about those, but doesn't the ROG Ally run Windows?

[hallow jasper]

by default, yes

[mental geyser]

Might aswell just get a laptop then

I do not know what a kbm is

[reef lily]

KBM = Keyboard+Mouse

[ebon marlin]

I own both the ROG Ally and Steam Deck and Steam Deck is such a better choice

[mental geyser]

Then dont give me the rog ally

[ebon marlin]

I can play my games without having to be near an outlet

[ebon marlin]

For 400€ and pick up in Finland

[reef lily]

I can talk about the Steam Deck, It is nice, it does run Arch Linux based SteamOS, but you can install other games that don't require Anti-Cheat

[ebon marlin]

SteamOS Lowkey poop

I installed Bazzite on my Steam Deck

[reef lily]

Does Bazzite allow games that need Anti-Cheat?

[ebon marlin]

Bazzite is also linux

It's fedora based iirc

Not a Linux nerd so idk

But I can still run games with easy anti cheat for example

Like dead by daylight

[reef lily]

Yeah, Wasn't sure if it had Anti-Cheat Compatibility

What about Battleye?

[mental geyser]

I just want something I can play on when I go somewhere else man

[ebon marlin]

Alot of multiplayer games on the deck work fine some just don't like Fortnite despite also having easy anti cheat

[ebon marlin]

Works fine

[fringe prairie]

ally z1e is faster but if you play lighter titles like celeste the battery life on deck is way better

[mental geyser]

im stuck here on vacation for another week with nothing but my phone, tablet and my 3ds xl

[ebon marlin]

I mainly play the Yakuza games on my Steam Deck and I can easily get 5 hours of playtime

Meanwhile with my ROG Ally I'd be lucky to get like 1,5hrs at the lowest tdp preset

7w vs 10w

[reef lily]

Though that Power might also be the Difference between running a game and a slideshow, no?

[ebon marlin]

And I noticed with my ROG Ally I did not want to play with it when I had it due to how awful it's ergonomics are it's not really comfortable to hold it

[mental geyser]

ok guys I give up

im really confused

[ebon marlin]

With my Steam Deck like I want to play with it even though I have my computer next to me

[mental geyser]

the legion go just got kicked out of this and replaced by thr steamdeck

[ebon marlin]

Nah

[south arrow]

3 cattle

Is the clear choice

[mental geyser]

wth is 3 cattle

[south arrow]

OK no jokes, sorry lol

[reef lily]

Oh, I don't know much on Legion Go or ROG Ally, I can only speak on what I got, my Steamdeck

[mental geyser]

is it literally 3 cattle

as in 3 young cows

[south arrow]

Moooo

[ebon marlin]

I did play through Resident Evil 4 Remake and God of War 2018 both at High settings at 1080p60 on the ROG Ally but if I wanted to play those titles I had to be chained to an outlet

[south arrow]

[left dove]

Ugh baby cows are so cute

[south arrow]

Just lil baby big dogs xD

[reef lily]

Also doesn't the Steamdeck sell replacement Parts on iFixit?

[mental geyser]

So rog ally, steamdeck or 💻 ??????????????????

I need something that can actually play more than steam games

[reef lily]

Depends on what you want out of it

[ebon marlin]

Yum

[mental geyser]

Cuz surprisingly I do not have a big steam library

[ebon marlin]

You can play more than steam games on the steam deck

[reef lily]

^

[ebon marlin]

You can install other game launchers on the steam deck aswell

[mental geyser]

Do it play mince raft

[ebon marlin]

I also have setup emulation for Nintendo Switch games on my Steam deck

[reef lily]

With some Setup, yep

[mental geyser]

Crinemaft

[ebon marlin]

You can and it'll play much better than the ROG Ally due to having the trackpads

[ebon marlin]

For Java yes but for bedrock no

[mental geyser]

Having the whay

[reef lily]

I had Minecraft working on the Steamdeck, though I only played 1.7.10

[mental geyser]

alright grandpa

good for you

[ebon marlin]

The Steam Deck has trackpads that mimic mouse movement

[south arrow]

Having these blocks in 2025 makes me the old, gbc 4 lifee

[reef lily]

Steamdeck has a Square shaped Trackpack on each side, you can use like a mouse or do some things

[ebon marlin]

Those squares

You can use them as a mouse

Or a d-pad

[reef lily]

Man, I only play 1.7.10 cause some of the Mods I got haven't been updated yet

[ebon marlin]

Also the steam deck having a screen that's 1 inch bigger (7" vs 8") you don't think it's a big difference but damn It made the gaming experience much more enjoyable

[reef lily]

And while I'm not sure about the ROG Ally, you can buy some Hall Effect sticks to take away Stick Drift, or Upgrade the SSD on the SteamDeck

[ebon marlin]

You can upgrade the ssd on both devices

[vale wing]

i need someones advice rq

[ebon marlin]

Can also upgrade the joysticks on ROG Ally

[vale wing]

i was having issues with my ssd, and it would lead to a bsod and games were unplayable, so i got a new ssd and the games are now fine, but occassionally on startup itll have a really weird bsod screen with like 4x bsods and a black space beneath it all distorted

does anyone have a clue on why this is? it doesnt effect me and only happens once or twice a week

[upper abyss]

sb tell me why i sleepy enough for 2 days but im still eepy

[ebon marlin]

I'd also recommend replacing the joysticks on the ROG Ally mostly cuz the joysticks feel awful to use

Or atleast putting a cover on it

[mental geyser]

Show me

Also does it only run older versions

[ebon marlin]

Wdym older versions

[hallow jasper]

Sounds like a serious medical condition. Better head to WebMD

[left dove]

Sometimes your body is just eepy

[graceful mulch]

An Asus VivoBook S16 OLED with an AI 9 HX370, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of NVMe upgradable storage, and an OLED that reaches 120hz and 400nits is $1400 at Best Buy. Why is it that the equivalently upgraded MacBook Pro 16” with 48GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD is $3000 new? Like…more than double the money seems exorbitant. I’m on an M1 Pro 16” that I got refurbished for $900 and love it, but it does make me scratch my head why anyone would pay that much for a new MacBook. Or, what about the Asus makes it so that it is in such a completely different class of laptops

[left dove]

Apple tax.

[upper abyss]

i have triple aids

[left dove]

There's a lotta shit behind it

[ebon marlin]

The left trackpad acts as a scroll wheel but I'm pretty sure the functions can be swapped

I also like to use both of the trackpads at the same time to type

It's very fun

[ebon marlin]

Also on desktop mode of the steam deck to showcase the trackpads properly

[fringe prairie]

vivobook is in no way a mbp competitor

it's asus' budget offering

build quality is much worse than even a mba

[left dove]

Specs are still pretty decent.

[magic ivy]

which gpu is a better combo for r5 7500f?
5060, b580, rx 7600
from most expensive

[ebon marlin]

used rx 6700xt

[magic ivy]

i dont want to buy used most dont have insurance

[ebon marlin]

luckily warranty is useless

[magic ivy]

what if he has burnt it out 😃

[ebon marlin]

test it out

[ebon marlin]

never heard of that being an issue lol

and I only buy used gpus constantly even without testing them as I do not care

they all work with no issues

[magic ivy]

btw used are 320+

[ebon marlin]

I've blindly bought a 6950xt and multiple 6800xt's and all have worked perfectly fine

[rigid fjord]

the b580, but a used rx6700xt would be also good

[ebon marlin]

pretty sure that's more expensive than brand new 6700xt's

[magic ivy]

yes

[magic ivy]

ok but why not the 5060? bc of the vram?

[ebon marlin]

5060 is overall a very shit card in all aspects

[rigid fjord]

even a 9060xt is better than a 5060

[magic ivy]

isnt it supposed to be 😂

[magic ivy]

its for a budget 1080p gaming

[ebon marlin]

there's not a single thing that the 5060 is good at other than being shit'

[ebon marlin]

there are better 1080p budget cards out there

[rigid fjord]

in many ways yes, you still shouldn't touch a 5060

[ebon marlin]

for cheaper

[tidal geyser]

at some point i think he just does not want help

[ebon marlin]

5060 launched dead on arrival

[tidal geyser]

he has been here now asking about the same pc for months and months

[magic ivy]

i bought the mobo and cpu today

[ebon marlin]

lmao

[chilly escarp]

just applied my first ever thermal paste!!!

[tidal geyser]

WTF

[magic ivy]

also its been almost a month

[rigid fjord]

some people do want to commit dumb and have someone say it's ok for them to commit dumb

[magic ivy]

brick by brick tmrw the other stuff

[tidal geyser]

NO

[chilly escarp]

is it good?

[magic ivy]

yeesss

[tidal geyser]

you idiot, never ever buy a pc part by part

[magic ivy]

why

[tidal geyser]

ever heard of super

nvidia super cards

[rigid fjord]

paste wise, that's a good amount there for when it spreads when the cooler is on it

[magic ivy]

yes

[tidal geyser]

the thing people have been dying over the past few months

then there is the hope intel might come out with something at some point soon ish

[hearty gazelle]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2MwmP6/montech-air-903-max-atx-mid-tower-case-air-903-max-b Is this case alright?

[ebon marlin]

yes

[tidal geyser]

even maybe amd might come out with a 9050 xt or something

[rigid fjord]

yes

[tidal geyser]

yes

[wet ember]

what's a good mouse pad material that is resistant to stains and can be washed in the washer

[hearty gazelle]

With a 3k (cad) budget would y'all recommend getting a 5080?

[wet ember]

my mouse pad is cooked i should get a new one

[ebon marlin]

pretty sure you're never supposed to put any mousepad in the washer

[tidal geyser]

my steel sires qck or whatever its called i do that wash but why stain resistant

[wet ember]

oh i didn't know

[tidal geyser]

i have many times

[rigid fjord]

personally i say, depends on budget, but the dumb point to buy parts is on any retail event like black friday, cyber monday and prime day (actually a week not a single day)

[magic ivy]

have they said anything?

[ebon marlin]

I just soak it with water and put detergent on it and slightly scrub it with a sponge

[tidal geyser]

no but that is what tends to happen

[tidal geyser]

i tried but it just does not clean it well enough

[rigid fjord]

well unless it's a glass one 😉

[magic ivy]

well idk when im gonna buy the gpu probably last if i can save a few e

[tidal geyser]

€

why do you use E

[wet ember]

felt mousepads look nice and fit the aesthetic of my desk

[tidal geyser]

your keyboard has euro symbol on it

[magic ivy]

us num

[tidal geyser]

mine is Norwegian

[viscid estuary]

hey everyone, I need some of your help. I'm going to upgrade my ages old gtx 970 to a newer graphics card. Cards I looked at are a used rtx 3060ti Founders edition for €250 (thats $300ish) and the Intel arc b580 for about €270 (I'm assuming thats about $320). Are these Cards that you can recommend for this price point or would you pick something else? thx

[ebon marlin]

mine doesn't so I just use ctrl + alt + e

[ebon marlin]

rx 6700xt

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

[tidal geyser]

ooo cool

[viscid estuary]

a Ryzen 5 3400g, so 4 cores

[tidal geyser]

pls upgrade cpu

[viscid estuary]

y tho?

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean man

its a 3400g

[ebon marlin]

an amd card is ur best choice due to the lesser driver overhead with AMD gpu's

[tidal geyser]

its a zen+ 4 core cpu with half the cache

[tidal geyser]

the cpu is so shit im not sure if his current gpu is even the limit in a lot of games

[ebon marlin]

it'll be fine

[tidal geyser]

the 3400g is shit

[ebon marlin]

a 3600 would be like 20-30€ but a 3400g would be good enough

[ebon marlin]

i know

[tidal geyser]

mate the 3400G is not even zen 2

[ebon marlin]

i know

[rigid fjord]

a used 6700xt, you could pick one of them up for £250-300

[tidal geyser]

i wonder, i think the 3400g might be worse then a r3 1300x

[viscid estuary]

sure man but its still fine for the games that i'm playing i guess. I dont do super cpu intensive stuff except some riders republic mass races here and there

[rigid fjord]

more like £60 still

[ebon marlin]

an used Rx 6700xt is 180-200€ used so 6700xt + 3600/5600 would be 30-50€

[ebon marlin]

it's europe ryzen cpu's go for cheap here

I was able to snag a Ryzen 5 3600 for 20€ for like 20€ last year

5600's you could easily get for 50€+

[fringe prairie]

used 3080 shouldn't be much more

[rigid fjord]

yeah, sadly he's not going to get that lucky

[tidal geyser]

3400G only has 4MB l3 cache 😦

[rigid fjord]

£350-400 still

[tidal geyser]

i would just slap in a 5600 and i dono rx 5700 xt or smnm

[ebon marlin]

still easy to get one for 30€

[hallow jasper]

Have you been actively using this 970 since new?

[viscid estuary]

what do you mean by actively using?

[hallow jasper]

Your main gaming GPU

[clear torrent]

hi guys, im looking to get a hard drive, probably around the 10-16TB range but brand new ones are actually so expensive aha is there anywhere that are like referbished or?

[ebon marlin]

6700xt + 5600 in Finland would set you back 250€ which is the same amount as the 3060 TI OP was looking at

[tidal geyser]

where

[ebon marlin]

i know what you are..

[clear torrent]

what do u mean where?

[viscid estuary]

yeah its my main gpu since 2021 when I built my first pc. got it used back then.

[tidal geyser]

how are we meant to even try to help

[hallow jasper]

Ah, ok since 2021. I got a 970 in 2014 but replaced it in 2017 lol

[tidal geyser]

wut

[rigid fjord]

@viscid estuary

[ebon marlin]

damn tech is expensive as hell in UK

[viscid estuary]

its still not a bad card tbh. hardware requirements are mostly not my problem when playing games even with that old hardware

[rigid fjord]

5600 + 6700xt = £300-350 spend

[chilly escarp]

I just applied my first thermal paste and put my tiny desktop together, now it won't turn on and power button and led just blinks...... thinkcentre m720q

[hallow jasper]

Ehh, depends on what you play and what settings/performance you expect.

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424

did you plug the fan in?

[chilly escarp]

no way I forgot to do that 😭 😭 😭 😭 thx

was too focused on putting the shit on

[viscid estuary]

yeah true i'm mostly playing indie games and sometimes esports games on low settings haha

[tidal geyser]

yay i know about tech

[chilly escarp]

and harddisk

[empty quartz]

I have an announcement

[tidal geyser]

no

[empty quartz]

Meow!

[viscid estuary]

so the call is a 6700xt, thx everyone

[tidal geyser]

and 5600

[rigid fjord]

and a 5600/5600x

[viscid estuary]

sure

[tidal geyser]

just remember to update the bios and anyways enable rebar and xmp and such

if this is some OEM desktop thingy or some i dono biostar motherboard im gonna be massive big sad

[viscid estuary]

its a gigabyte board haha

[rigid fjord]

so a big sad still then

[chilly escarp]

still does the same thing

[tidal geyser]

clear cmos

[tidal geyser]

did you unsocket the cpu?

[magic ivy]

the missing part is the case and the gpu now 🥶😈

[chilly escarp]

I put it back in so it fits down in the hole

[viscid estuary]

Its alright. I needed a cheap b450 board back then and that was cheapest option that I had.... I might have to add that i'm running a €350 computer

[chilly escarp]

ok

[tidal geyser]

rip

[tidal geyser]

very spensive for what ya got

[rigid fjord]

asus prime b450m-a would have been a cheap one

[tidal geyser]

too late now anyways

[viscid estuary]

b450m ds3h was like €80 back then

[tidal geyser]

i just sold a pc 2 days ago with a 3600 and 6600 for 360$

and i overprice shit to hell

spent like 200$ on it

[chilly escarp]

any reason why it's not turning on because of newly installed thermal paste?

[tidal geyser]

show the pins

[viscid estuary]

I have to note that I have built my pc in 2021. the market was kinda rough.

[tidal geyser]

anyhow 4 years ago and for someone who does not live and breathe used tech its fine

[tidal geyser]

yea, its not horrible per say but ofc not great, my first pc was something like that

[tidal geyser]

looks fine i think

put it back together and no you do not need to repaste

plug everything back then even put the case back on

[vale wing]

what socket is that

[tidal geyser]

lga 1151

[vale wing]

whats he got slapped up in there

[tidal geyser]

it worked before so not sure how much that matters

[vale wing]

i like specs shut up

[chilly escarp]

what do I do

[tidal geyser]

im gonna say i5 8400 or any T cpu 8th or 9th gen

[tidal geyser]

well that

[vale wing]

is that sandy bridge or haswell my memory is bad

[tidal geyser]

im not good with code names

[vale wing]

coffee lake

[chilly escarp]

only reason I changed it was because stupid refurbisher didn't

now I can't turn the shit on

[tidal geyser]

what was the temp

[vale wing]

ooeze what cpu is it out of curiosity

[chilly escarp]

Intel Core i7-8700

[tidal geyser]

o wow

nice cpu

but not fully, 6 core i7 is funny

[chilly escarp]

well what if it's fucked

[tidal geyser]

probs not

just put it back together

[chilly escarp]

you sure no need to replace? It looks like dry as shit

or smth

Idk bought the thermal paste today

[tidal geyser]

did you not literally JUST apply it

[vestal owl]

Hi guys, I need a good bluetooth adapter and more USB ports. Any recommendations?

[chilly escarp]

yes

[tidal geyser]

is it even possible for it to be dry then

[chilly escarp]

it looks weird tho

[kindred halo]

Sandy bridge iirc is 3rd generation

Haswell, the lord's generation, is 4th gen

They are LGA 1155 & 1150 respectively

[tidal geyser]

use a wifi and bluetooth pcie card and maybe even usb card

[kindred halo]

What's your phone?

[vale wing]

i cant remember those older gens

[kindred halo]

That's some good photographing tbh

[chilly escarp]

pixel 9

[vale wing]

pixels underrated ngl

[chilly escarp]

got it recently, previously iphone

[kindred halo]

Doesn't it have a 50mp camera?

[tidal geyser]

i have not had apple for like 5-6 years now

[vale wing]

im getting an iphone 16 pro soon as a present

[tidal geyser]

no wait 3 ish years

[vale wing]

i have an 11 pro rn

[tidal geyser]

wha i thought the p9 was really new

[vale wing]

with water damage

[kindred halo]

My memory of generation codenames only works when it's stuff I am interested in

[vestal owl]

but brands and models is what I need... sadly the only options I'm finding are shit ones that barely hold my xbox controller on

[tidal geyser]

o no wait 2 different people

[vale wing]

im not the one w a pixel 9

[tidal geyser]

i know

[tidal geyser]

ax220

[vale wing]

16 pro is a decent phone i think

[tidal geyser]

how does a watertight phone get water damage

[tidal geyser]

the pro max is funny

[vale wing]

idk if older iphones

[kindred halo]

Isn't the camera on the Pixel 9 50mp?
It probably has great features / other hardware to back it up to look great like this, my 50mp Samsung could probably never deliver an image like yours

[vale wing]

have that

[tidal geyser]

i think every iphone has been watertight

[chilly escarp]

I have no idea what to do with my tiny desktop

[tidal geyser]

or at least everything for the past 10 years

[chilly escarp]

take out cmos?

will that really help?

[vestal owl]

isn't a router I need it's something like the second pic

[tidal geyser]

did i not say that

[chilly escarp]

why would that make a difference?

[tidal geyser]

i meant intel ax210

[vale wing]

unrelated but im playing russian roulette with my extension cord rn

[tidal geyser]

[chilly escarp]

I will try

Guys is 14515 score for a 6800 xt in superposition 4k optimized good? I am buying a used gpu and the seller sent me the results

[vale wing]

i found a old radioshack extension cord that was still good

dunno if its gonna stay good

[vestal owl]

thanks... but I still need more USB ports

[tidal geyser]

what do you need it for

[mellow remnant]

why? To whoever reacted to my message

[chilly escarp]

omg that stupid cmos under heatsink!!!

[tidal geyser]

just one benchmark is not a good way to do so and that one is old as balls, if your buying on any good site it will have buyers protection

[vestal owl]

I'm streaming on youtube and I'm really into making my own stuff... so I'm using two keyboards, my joystick, a android tablet, mic, headset, mouse, a second joystick eventually... in the future I'll porlly end eup connecting more stuff

[tidal geyser]

really need everything plugged in at all times?

[mellow remnant]

just answer the question and those sites don’t exist in where I live

[tidal geyser]

just repaste the card anyways when you get it

also do you not have ebay

[tidal geyser]

o well why not just go for that powered usb hub

[vestal owl]

kinda... but the main reason is that I don't want to connect/disconect stuff. I'm really lazy

[vestal owl]

Idk if it's a good brand and I want one that has Bluetooth

[tidal geyser]

what????

[mellow remnant]

bro just answer the question it ain’t that hard 😭🙏

[mellow remnant]

no

[tidal geyser]

get it and repaste it

unless seller already did

[mellow remnant]

bro💔

[tidal geyser]

might wanna go for something like this as each port has its own controller https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0797HL9Z3/?th=1

[vestal owl]

I need an USB Hub that also has bluetooth connection |:

[tidal geyser]

not a thing

[pine sandal]

What does PCPartPicker mean? Is this right? And is it bad that I use the cable in the picture

[hallow jasper]

what

[tidal geyser]

rtx 4000 and 5000 use 12vhpwer/12v 2X6 being that special new nvidia well new ish nvidia connector and they come with a normal pcie to nvidia power cable adapter

all pcpartpicker says is that you need to use a adapter

[thorn escarp]

i was watching this ltt video where he mentions how plugging in a mouse to the 2.0 port is optimal, is that true even for high end mice with 8k polling hertz and whatnot?

[vestal owl]

NGL I get really sad when I go ask for stuff and people be like "what? why?" "who the hell needs that?" :/

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

who said the last part

[pine sandal]

Yeah i understand that, but PCPartPicker says the cable I showed in the photo is not okay because it's "daisy chained"

[thorn escarp]

wat

[pine sandal]

Im asking because Ive seen people saying their pcie melted

[tidal geyser]

no clue what your saying

[vestal owl]

it wasn't today or in this server I think

[tidal geyser]

so you asked before somewhere else

but bluetooth in a usb hub is not a thing

[tidal geyser]

that cable is made to handle 300w but its best to use 2 different cables if possible

[pine sandal]

Alright so that's what I was asking. Gotta open the back panel and get out of all the cables the pcie cable💔

Thanks for the help!

[vestal owl]

it was a different subject and a different server

[tidal geyser]

anyhow if ya wanna do it right get that pcie card then do a hub from that then just get any pcie wifi card with built in bluetooth

[hallow jasper]

It straight up doesn't matter. Anyone that tells you otherwise is either lying or a robot.

8khz polling rate mice are also a massive placebo and cause more problems with general computer use than the solve. Excessive to the extreme.

[carmine yew]

no mouse uses enough bandwidth to need more than 400mbps

and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something you don't need

[tidal geyser]

its always funny when i hear people turning on the 8k mode then wondering why their performance is good or just talking about how they cant really use the 8k mode

[carmine yew]

honestly: PS/2 was better for keyboards and mice than USB, but.... here we are anyways

[tidal geyser]

its funny how long it has been a thing

[thorn escarp]

gotcha gotcha ty

[thorn escarp]

why though?

[thorn escarp]

are they?

[rigid fjord]

doesn't exist, just get a bluetooth dongle and add it to the hub

[thorn escarp]

would you say you'd notice a difference between 500 and 1k?

cus ive only owned 1k ones

[carmine yew]

better interface to talk to the hardware

[thorn escarp]

ah

[tidal geyser]

yes

500 polling mice is that really a thing

i swear almost everything is 1k

[carmine yew]

500 times a second ain't exactly slow

[hallow jasper]

When the extreme polling rate isn't screwing around with Windows or causing performance issues in your games, its not helping you be a better player.

[chilly escarp]

W TYSM @tidal geyser

[hallow jasper]

But

[thorn escarp]

i see i see

[tidal geyser]

ofc but i think most at least gaming ones are 1k

[hallow jasper]

If they can say it does with big numbers, it'll sure sell mice to 14y/o's that all think it'll help them be Shroud.

[thorn escarp]

i broke my g402 and im on a shittier razer mouse rn lol

[tidal geyser]

how did you break it

[thorn escarp]

tenz literally has like 200 dollar mice for sale its so much bs

[thorn escarp]

NO IDEA im so gentle with my pc parts, the mmb just stopped working

[carmine yew]

sure, but even 500hz, the latency on the mouse is half of your frame latency at a sustained 240fps

So, it's not like it's that much of a hinderance

[thorn escarp]

i can still scroll but i cant press the mmb and that's a huge deal for me

[hallow jasper]

Once you can see past the marketing, things get much easier.

[tidal geyser]

do you have a warranty

[thorn escarp]

well i wasnt planning on buying it dw, the max i'll spend on a mouse is like

the superlight

[tidal geyser]

if its under 2 years old in the EU you got a warranty

[hallow jasper]

perfectly acceptable

[thorn escarp]

nooooo it passed the 1 year mark only a while ago

[tidal geyser]

warranty it

[thorn escarp]

i miss the extra buttons man

[carmine yew]

most mice have a 2-3 year warranty

[thorn escarp]

wait lemme check
