[vestal folio]

wowie zowie

[strange atlas]

White costs more here unfortunately

[vestal folio]

I've seen them for a lot more than they're supposed to be in white here as well

[strange atlas]

normal ones are 35000 turkish liras its 860 dollar

close to msrp i belive

close to ebay price*

[vestal folio]

what is up with the prices on the 9060xt 16gb bruh

[strange atlas]

9060xt is really cheap here

Dont know why its like that

[vestal folio]

whats it over there?

[strange atlas]

Okay it wasnt cheap

Apparently i couldnt calc
Asus RX 9060 XT Prime OC Edition - 20499 turkish liras / 507 dollar

[vestal folio]

💀 still cheaper than the xfx card

Looking to build my own NAS using an old PC, would there be a noticable difference between using an I5-600 and GTX 1080 vs a i9-9900k and 2080 super for HexOS/Plex?

[grizzled frost]

depends on the I5-600 you're talking about

[solar moat]

i5 600?

[grizzled frost]

GPU won't matter though

[agile laurel]

Oops. I5-6500

[solar moat]

maybe yes but i say i5 6500 unless you wanting high perfomcine nas or planing on uses it as server for other things

[grizzled frost]

if plex is all you're running i doubt you'll see a difference

maybe with 4k60 video, but i doubt it, most of that load should still be on the GPU

personally i'd go 9900k so i have performance to spare for other tasks though

[solar moat]

i say try selling it as gaming pc

[agile laurel]

Got into collecting physical media and want to be able to stream my 4ks to my TV/PC and so on, assuming on-network 4k streaming without transcoding should be fine?
Planning to use the other pc for ripping my discs to the nas

[grizzled frost]

as long as you have at least a 1g connection its fine

[agile laurel]

Alright perfect, thanks all! Now to buy hard drives from serverpartdeals xD

[plain cypress]

Ay I got one

[plain cypress]

PLEX
Go with the more powerful hardware

The 6500 would be fine for just NAS/file serving

I use mine for a pfsense router

[manic panther]

What's the play here? Rip blu-rays?

I'm debating PS5 or upgrade the PC and move my existing box to HT room as a SteamOS box. PS5 would be for gaming (obv) and also 4k blu-ray

[ebon plover]

any reason why my 980 pro tb m.2 is writing so slow? were talking like 2 mb/s

[gentle kestrel]

are the files small

[ebon plover]

no

downloading games from steam if that makes any difference

[plain cypress]

CPU?

[ebon plover]

ryzen 7 5800x

[plain cypress]

Some parts of a game install are just slow

Especially if it's workshop content

[grizzled frost]

If it gets to a part that has a bunch of tiny files it can hurt write speed

[ebon plover]

okay good to know

[plain cypress]

Yeah if it's periodic that's expected

If the entire 200gb game writes at 2MB/s, maybe something is wrong

[ebon plover]

my other drives are much faster, even tho theyre rated for less ya know

[latent ledge]

Don't bother, cause I got it working without having to do a fresh install :P
No data loss or anything either

[manic panther]

Is this the drive that's also running the OS, etc?

[ebon plover]

the drive at hand is not my boot drive

[agile laurel]

Some blu-rays, mostly 4k blu-rays

[agile laurel]

Think I'll start with the 6500 and just watch marketplace for a good deal on something more powerful then

[manic panther]

Steam has also been using increasingly aggressive compression to limit download bandwidth, so you might want to keep an eye on the CPU load while it's unpacking the game

But yeah, what the other guy said ^. Periodic slowdown maybe ok. Permanently slow is probably power delivery or overheating or something

[ebon plover]

lol maybe its just a wifi thing then too, i switched to a different drive and it also goin slow as hell. im not hardwired rn, just moved to a new place idk if ill be able to use ethernet or not here

my desk/office in dif room than modem & router so ill have to figure something out

[echo wagon]

Guys i removed the mobo standoffs from my case, but now they won't screw back in when mobo is inside

[plain cypress]

Grinds my system to a halt

[grizzled frost]

what

take the mobo out, put the standoffs back in

[echo wagon]

Wdym? I thought you uninstall the standoffs

[grizzled frost]

no...

[echo wagon]

I dont have any screws from the motherboard case

Box*

[grizzled frost]

they come with the case

[echo wagon]

Oh...

I see now..

[formal sonnet]

You case's manual should explain what it came with and how to install things into it... if the manufacturer is competent at all.

[echo wagon]

Vetroo.

[echo wagon]

Ya I don't see any screws.

[formal sonnet]

Yes, this looks like a brand name... do you have a model to give us too?

[left dove]

What do I make for food

[formal sonnet]

You make me some fries and chicken nuggies. Make some for yourself too.

[plain cypress]

Marrionberry...steak

[left dove]

I have fries & fish fillets

[echo wagon]

Al900

[left dove]

no nuggies 😔

[plain cypress]

I did pick another 14 pints of marrionberries today

[formal sonnet]

If you didn't receive screws with the case, contact the manufacturer.

[left dove]

wtf share

[left dove]

take me on a date first ffs

[plain cypress]

I also had an overpriced iced coffee at the berry farm

[echo wagon]

This isn't even right, there are 8 standoffs

[plain cypress]

Here's the half that hasn't been processed yet

And there's the other half

[ivory crest]

anyone know about keyboard key issues? My W key stops working abruptly ingame then starts working again, it happens randomly and I’ve tried this on 3 different games

[grizzled frost]

Some number of them were preinstalled, the 3 listed are the additional ones they give you in a lil baggy usually

[grizzled frost]

your keyboard sucks

and/or the connection to the computer sucks

is it a wired keyboard?

[ivory crest]

Yeah

[grizzled frost]

Cool,

your keyboard sucks

[echo wagon]

No baggy, just the case in a box

[sinful cobalt]

ur keyboard is fucked

[ivory crest]

this started happening yesterday and today, I’ve been using my keyboard for like a year or so

[grizzled frost]

ur keyboard is fucked

[grizzled frost]

If you didn't receive screws with the case, contact the manufacturer.

[echo wagon]

I took the screws from the gpu back thingy and just used those.

I'll order more tomorrow, just wanna get it built rn

[sinful cobalt]

i didnt read any context so pardon me but did u search the inside of the case

[empty quartz]

As much as they’re about as fast as that honda civic with an exhaust falling off, these laptops were sick as fuck

[thorn grove]

I'm going to start calling my ISP every 6 months to see if they've lowered prices. I was overpaying by $35 a month

I feel like they should tell me whether or not the price of service has been lowered

[formal sonnet]

While I agree with you... until consumer protection laws mandate this, they'll never do this.

[gentle kestrel]

my bill dropped $5/mo and my speed doubled after i called them

[swift gorge]

yippee

[wet ember]

im gonna steal it

but wait what's the point? that ryzen 9 cant fit onmy z270 motherboard

[echo wagon]

Where do I plug the pcie cable in?

[azure topaz]

Ooooooohhhh

I dumb.

[azure topaz]

finally, legal torreting

[echo wagon]

I plugged in the aio, and cpu power. I don't remember what else I need to plug in

[grizzled frost]

please watch a tutorial video

It's also the fact that when competition comes they start out trying to be super competitive and they become slowly corrupted over time and kind of become a cartel

[gilded beacon]

is there any way to get data usage in windows 11 that is not the one in the settings?

[formal sonnet]

Internet data usage? Or storage data usage?

• If the former, you can install something like https://www.glasswire.com/ to begin tracking usage.
• If the latter, you can use something like https://diskanalyzer.com/ to scan folders on your storage.

Hey so I want to get a dual monitor stand to mount onto my desk, but my desk has these metal rods that would block the path. Is there any way around this or any specific models that could do the job?

[solid crown]

add a block of wood the same height as the metal rods

[quiet ibex]

hey just looking for an opinion on something. Ive gotten to old big ground speakers, and right now they are going from RCA kabels to AUX into my pc.. buuuut i want it to play everything on my big screen. What do you guys think would be the best solution? no my tv doesnt have RCA outputs.. only Optical and HDMI (ARC)... i did see you can get one of those adapters for analog to opitcal.. im just wondering if there is any loss of quality doing that?

[true stirrup]

I use one of those adapters on my TV to connect it to a ~30-40 year old amplifier
It's been working great for me

[quiet ibex]

Nice! i used to have one, but i lost it. So no im trying to figure out the best way to do it, And they just seem affordable and if there isnt any loss in quality i can see the reason to pay for a new Amplifier. 😄

[wispy charm]

Is this okay for $1000 cad?

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K (8-Core, 5.0 GHz)
GPU: EVGA RTX 3070 (1440p Beast!)
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (3600MHz)
Storage: 1TB Orico NVMe SSD (Lightning Fast)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS
PSU: Thermaltake 600W 80+
Case: Tempered Glass "Fish Tank" + 5 RGB Fans
Extras: RGB Remote Control Hub + USB WiFi Module

[true stirrup]

Yeah they really are affordable
And I don't see any loss of quality but obviously an amplifier + equaliser and some good speakers are making the sound better than anything else I have access to lol

[true stirrup]

No

[wispy charm]

How much is it worth

[true stirrup]

Are you buying or selling?

[wispy charm]

Buying

[true stirrup]

Like 700 CAD
That CPU is quite old

[faint flower]

Guys used 4060ti 16gb or 5060?

[true stirrup]

4060ti is faster

[faint flower]

How much

[true stirrup]

Around 9%

[faint flower]

Okay

[quiet ibex]

Do you know the brand your using?

[true stirrup]

I'll be home in like an hour so I can check then

[fickle ivy]

is this fast?

[faint flower]

Would it be hard to undervolt the 4060ti?

[true stirrup]

The only thing I know from the top of my head are the TV, speakers and the amp lol

[true stirrup]

No point in doing so tbh

[faint flower]

It pulls a lot of powrr

For me

[true stirrup]

Then you power limit it

[iron glen]

depends, what are you comparing against

[faint flower]

Oh that works?

[true stirrup]

But isn't it a 165W card?

That's basically nothing

[faint flower]

Well i am using something thaz only uses 100

[true stirrup]

What PSU?

[faint flower]

550w

[iron glen]

i'd say thats fast yeah, compared to me anyway

[true stirrup]

More than enough

[faint flower]

Okay well how save is it to buy used?

[vapid onyx]

the b580 is awsome fr

[true stirrup]

Just run a couple benchmarks and if it works that's basically it

[faint flower]

Cause i found one for like 260

[vapid onyx]

my internet supplier said that is should have 2.5gb download/S and they gave me only 50mb sometimes 20

[iron glen]

thats for the whole network, right

[solar moat]

wow that looks fast

[vapid onyx]

yeah i think so they said minimum ill get is 200mbps i don't see that either

[solar moat]

is that on wifi?

[vapid onyx]

no they say like optic fiber 100%

i pay it 30$ a month

[solar moat]

no the device on your doing speed test from

[vapid onyx]

yes

[iron glen]

we don't care about what they say, they are not you
are you using wifi or cable

[vapid onyx]

whit cable works whit 20mbps whit wifi 50

[iron glen]

also how many other devices are using internet

[vapid onyx]

only mine

[iron glen]

no printers, TVs, other computers, phones, ect?

[vapid onyx]

nope

the phones are all on that thingy that gives u internet

cause my internet is so slow that they don't even load a video properly

and im not living in a barn im like in the center of the city so maybe false advertising?

[sinful cobalt]

@stray cairn the only way i can play cyberpunk on the laptop

[iron glen]

idk then, ask your provider

[sinful cobalt]

is this

[vapid onyx]

yeah

[stray cairn]

What

[kindred halo]

1-2 days left,,,,

[quiet ibex]

i need to choose between different priced DAC, and i dont quite know the different and what is needed.

150 Kr: 32, 44.1, 48 og 96 kHz

200 Kr: 32 / 44,1 / 48/96/192 kHz

300 Kr: 16 Bit / 48 kHz

the kHz seems to be the only difference

[idle vessel]

#audio-tech

[abstract wigeon]

what’s a good value 3d printer on the cheaper end, is the bambu a1 all there is?

[vapid onyx]

i ran 2 tests whit different lan cables and it results that my wifi is faster than my lan

how is this even possible

[rigid fjord]

wifi 6/6e?

[abstract wigeon]

thoight it was a joke account but mr tiktok genuinely bought an aoi instead of a gpu for looks

[iron glen]

would i get faster internet speeds if i used a new ethernet cable compared to one thats been sitting in a damp basement for ~2 years

[rigid fjord]

quite possibly, there's chances of corrosion being on the pins

[iron glen]

sweet

[gloomy sleet]

€200 is like 3060 prices tf

[rigid fjord]

7600 pricing

also you forget that it's a corsair aio there, and there are much more expensive ones from nzxt and asus

[gloomy sleet]

the 3060 is better then the 7600 though

[rigid fjord]

nope

a 4060 is, slightly better

a 3060 is actually worser than a 7600

considering the 7600 performs between a 6650xt and 6700 non-xt

[sinful cobalt]

in terms of raster no

[glacial kraken]

do u guys think 2 monitor on top or 2 on bottom is better

[hoary tree]

Apparently some games run slower on steam than they do on other storefronts

[gloomy sleet]

id imagine

[idle vessel]

aren’t you a grown adult

[gloomy sleet]

for stuff that uses external launchers you have to go through steam then through the other launcher

[idle vessel]

why is brother saying “worser”

[gloomy sleet]

for example game im on rn uses steam and ubisoft launcher

it runs worse launching from steam then launching straight from ubisoft launcher

[rough salmon]

Should I get a gaming pc for the price of the ROG XBOX ALLY, or should I just get the rog Xbox ally all together and connect to monitor and keyboard n mouse?

[gloomy sleet]

depends how much is an rog ally

[rough salmon]

I think it’s gonna be around £800

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/handhelds/rog-xbox-ally

Would I get a lot better performance if I just build a pc rather than get rog Xbox ally?

[sinful cobalt]

the ROG ally will always get smoked in performance by a pc for the same price bcs of well, what its made for

[gloomy sleet]

jesus fuck

800 is ridiculous

[gloomy sleet]

a dedicated pc will be better

obviously at the cost of not being handheld

[sinful cobalt]

what a great way to not pay attention in class

[rough salmon]

What’s a dedicated pc bro

[quiet ibex]

yea looks alot like the ones ive been lookin at

[gloomy sleet]

an actual computer

[rough salmon]

Oooh, yeah the thing is, in uk we don’t got any shops that sell pc parts

[sinful cobalt]

thats crazy

[gloomy sleet]

buy online

buying online is fine here

[sinful cobalt]

nah what did I just spoil myself with

[gloomy sleet]

for 800 you can absolutely build a better pc

[rough salmon]

i bet an £800 one id be able to play cyberpunk tbh

[gloomy sleet]

absolutely

[rough salmon]

even if the graphics card is second hand, ik its a gamble but may be lucky

[gloomy sleet]

my 500 pound pc can

[last mural]

Ight I need some help i got a msi z790 wifi gaming motherboard and my ddr4 ram isn’t fitting onto it ? But I’ve also got a gigabyte z790 and somehow it’s fitting into that one wtf is going on

[sinful cobalt]

as I have demonstrated my laptop 780m igpu can

[rough salmon]

looks like u need DDR5 memory

[last mural]

Fukkkk 😭😭

[sinful cobalt]

the only problem is that I need FSR FG to get 60 fps at every low preset 1080p

[rough salmon]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT16G48C40U5-4800MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B09HW2JNHX

[last mural]

So excited too 💔

[rough salmon]

for now if u have money get the cheapest ddr5 possible

and then when u have money upgrade to 32gb or something

[last mural]

I heard it’s bad if u have 4 sticks for ddr5 ram is that true ? Cuz I like the aesthetic of 4

[sinful cobalt]

b650m mobo+cheap ddr5+8400f=budget am5 pc

[sinful cobalt]

yes the imc sucks balls on amd

[rough salmon]

its better to get x2 8gb ram for 16gb

[sinful cobalt]

am5 hates quad slot

[rough salmon]

yup

[last mural]

So no 4x8 ?

[last mural]

Wbt intel tho

[rough salmon]

not recommended no

get x2 16gb

[sinful cobalt]

intel imc is better so its possible but also not recommended

[last mural]

Dammmm

[rough salmon]

unless ur running 4 things at once

[last mural]

How much worse is it. Is it like really noticeable

[rough salmon]

but if ur main goal is to game and maybe discord in background, 2 sticks is better

[sinful cobalt]

the more amt of ram the higher the chance quad slot will straight up fail

[rough salmon]

ye

[sinful cobalt]

4x8 should be fine

but again theres that slight chance it can shit itself

[rough salmon]

will my 2012 gaming case work for a 2025 motherboard btw

just wanna save mone

[sinful cobalt]

probably yes

the standoffs should be similar following the matx standard

[rough salmon]

gotcha gang

i guess ima start saving for a £800 gaming pc then

[gloomy sleet]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JV7GFZ

you can probably find a 7700xt or a 7800xt for <300

[rough salmon]

thats quite cool

[last mural]

Ok frick just making sure that’s into properly right

[rough salmon]

ill probs get a nvidia second hand tho

[gloomy sleet]

if not look for 4070s and 3080s or last case scenario b580

[gloomy sleet]

why nvidia? they sell for a lot more

[rough salmon]

how much is a 3090

[sinful cobalt]

minimum b580/9060xt 16gb tbh

[rough salmon]

ray tracing

[gloomy sleet]

like 450

[sinful cobalt]

ur budget is too small for actual raytracing

[iron glen]

yeah
tho from your wording i'd assoume you aren't very sober lol

[gloomy sleet]

bro really had to flex

[rough salmon]

broooo

[sinful cobalt]

i couldnt stop the urge

[rough salmon]

at least i dont have fake AI frames

[sinful cobalt]

copium

[rigid fjord]

yes, and i am being factually correct about it

[sinful cobalt]

-wants raytracing but doesnt want 9060xt 16gb
-not willing to use FG for like at least 120fps experience

[rigid fjord]

because it's an actual word, something some people forget that exists

[gloomy sleet]

worser isnt a word

[idle vessel]

nope worser is not a word man

No, "worser" is not a standard English word.

literally 1 google search

it’s just horrible english especially from a grown adult lmfao

[rough salmon]

im glad im doing gaming pc rather than the rog xbox ally tbh

[gloomy sleet]

bro is confidently incorrect at that

what you should have said is worse then

[sinful cobalt]

officially its not a word, its his way of expressing that the topic he’s talking is well, worse than the other in question

[rigid fjord]

totally incorrect

[idle vessel]

not a word

[rigid fjord]

it is, it's an archaic english word, and is in multiple dictionaries

[gloomy sleet]

you do realise both of those do use non standard english words

[iron glen]

🤓
you get the point, why whine about it

[gloomy sleet]

it isnt a standard english word

[idle vessel]

also worser is still horrible vocab lol

[sinful cobalt]

its considered incorrect in modern english

nonstandardized its fine

its a tech chat why we diving alot into this

[last mural]

Gng I just found out my other motherboard is supposed have ddr5 ram im literally heart broken 💔

[gloomy sleet]

worser literally only exists because people just made it up and decided "i cant be bothered to learn how to speak this language so im just going to say what i want to say"

[rigid fjord]

it's an english word, doesn't matter if it's standard or not, still english, still in dictionaries, still a factually correct word

[gloomy sleet]

literally any word is a non standard english word

[last mural]

This is for m.2 right ?

[rough salmon]

should i get the 5060 or is that just AI SLOP

[sinful cobalt]

hes not wrong, the exact opposite for better as a 1:1 would be bette lmao

[gloomy sleet]

"skibidi toilet" is a non standard english wording

[rough salmon]

looks like it yeah

[gloomy sleet]

that isnt a good point

[gloomy sleet]

literally what i said

[glacial kraken]

i move my computer now it wont turn on am i cooked

[gloomy sleet]

its slang not an actual word

[rigid fjord]

looks to be for the m.2 standoff

[gloomy sleet]

its as much of a word as "innit"

[idle vessel]

worser isn’t slang it’s just idiots saying it lol

[sinful cobalt]

.

[rough salmon]

static eletricity probs shortened it, ur cooked

[glacial kraken]

nuh uh

[gloomy sleet]

skibidi rizz horse is wild

[glacial kraken]

the fans turn on for like a second and off

[gloomy sleet]

ill bet my entire life savings on that

[sinful cobalt]

its likely a cable came loose

[glacial kraken]

on repeat

[rough salmon]

could be RAM issue or cpu

any beeps or error numbers on motherboard?

[gloomy sleet]

does the pc still worse otherwise?

[rigid fjord]

not slang, definitely not said by idiots, but the brainrot lot do use things like skibidi

[glacial kraken]

idk

[rough salmon]

take the ram out, turn on again

see if it boots

[glacial kraken]

I will hold on i just need to unscrew all the cords

[sinful cobalt]

“i like skibidi rizz”
“the brainrot?”
“no the horse”

[idle vessel]

my 4 year old niece says it

[gloomy sleet]

the oxford dictionary is not a valid source

[idle vessel]

if someone said worser in a job interview there is no way i would hire them

[rough salmon]

real

"its worser" SYFM AND GET OUT

[idle vessel]

literally

[rigid fjord]

it's one of many officially recognised dictionaires out there

[gloomy sleet]

"this job is worser then my old one innit" is apparently a legitimate english phrase according to this guy

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[idle vessel]

that is sarcasm

[gloomy sleet]

they use non standard english words

the oxford dictionary is not a valid source on standard english words

[rigid fjord]

i could bring up the collins dictionary also

[gloomy sleet]

that also includes non standard words

[idle vessel]

Or not i guess

[gloomy sleet]

non standard words arent actual english

[rigid fjord]

oxford concise dictionary you mean

[sinful cobalt]

u can use worser but not with “than”

i mean u can but it doesnt sound right

[glacial kraken]

chat i took out a ram stick and it worked

[gloomy sleet]

rauko said "worser then"

[sinful cobalt]

anyways shutup about this

[gloomy sleet]

what channel was the ram in

[glacial kraken]

idk

[gloomy sleet]

slot 1-2 or slot 3-4

this is really important information

[glacial kraken]

it was in two

[echo wagon]

nice and cool (I think)

[glacial kraken]

wait thats my only ram stick mb

[gloomy sleet]

what slot are the other ram sticks in

[rigid fjord]

many are, if you're college/uni educated as you claim to be, then you'd recognise that multiple non-standard words are literally part of the english language

[steel umbra]

oxford is one of the better dictonaries imo as they’re more loose with what can be recognized as official english instead of not recognizing any new words because tradition is better
language changes with it’s people

[glacial kraken]

there is no other

[echo wagon]

100 degree's?! (f) wtf?! did I do something wrong when installing it?!

[gloomy sleet]

you arent defending worser rn bro

[steel umbra]

sure i do

[rigid fjord]

collins dictionary also does similar in this

[glacial kraken]

should it be in 1 or 2 @gloomy sleet

[sinful cobalt]

9800x3d runs hot idle lmao

[rustic kiln]

Hey Guys, is corsair nautilus 240 rs a good cooler for 13700k

[sinful cobalt]

mine is like 48c idling

[gloomy sleet]

put your single ram stick in slot 3 or 4 then test it rq

[echo wagon]

but I have a really good cooler on it..

[glacial kraken]

there is only 2 slots

[gloomy sleet]

oh

[glacial kraken]

lol

[sinful cobalt]

and i have a 360mm galahad performance ur not special

[rigid fjord]

the manual would state the ram should be in slots 2 + 4 aka a1 +b1

[gloomy sleet]

test both slots with the working ram

[echo wagon]

where tf did that come from?

[glacial kraken]

so it should be in 1?

[sinful cobalt]

u said “but”

[echo wagon]

im just trying to figure out if my shit is gonna explode.

[echo wagon]

Ya, look at the context of the three dots

[sinful cobalt]

no im not im gonna keep bitching

[echo wagon]

crazy.

[rigid fjord]

try a cmos reset before doing ram swaps, and yes, if it's only a 2 slotted board, the ram should be in at least the first slot

[sinful cobalt]

yea im pretty crazy

[glacial kraken]

okey it turns on now thx

wait

idk if its on i need to plug iinto screen

[rough salmon]

i mean sure, then see if it posts or load into windows

[gloomy sleet]

they arent apart of formal english lmao also what does studing sciences have to do with anything

[glacial kraken]

nvm i dont think it turend on

the fan spin but nothing on screen

[rough salmon]

oh

i sure hope ur graphics card aint died

[glacial kraken]

why would it i moved it like 1 room across

[rough salmon]

plug ur cord into the motherboard not graphics card

[glacial kraken]

and also the motherboard screen isnt work

[rigid fjord]

you would have needed wording from dictionaries and sometimes thesauruses for the entmology used in phrasing any dissertations to avoid the reuse of the same word sometimes depending on the professor/teacher

[solar moat]

if words are commen and spoken then they are real

[gloomy sleet]

i dont argue they arent real

[glacial kraken]

why cant computer just work

[solar moat]

if we look at older english i bet you cant speak it

[gloomy sleet]

they just arent real standard english

[glacial kraken]

the fans keep going on and off

[rigid fjord]

actuality aka not being real, so yes, you said they're not real

[steel umbra]

@gloomy sleet if a group of people use the word how it has been originally used idm for example “worser” being used in english or some regions, i’ll stick to worse personally.

[gloomy sleet]

just because they arent standard english doesnt mean they arent real lmao

[copper maple]

Does Linux always have worse performance in games with Nvidia than Windows?

[gloomy sleet]

yeah obviously

this is how you get local dialects of languages

[rigid fjord]

i'd probably be better at speaking it than vaux would be

[gloomy sleet]

you were probably around when old english was invented mate

"id probably be better at speaking an old unused language"

[rigid fjord]

not your mate, and no, old english, before middle english and then "new" english are at least 3 centuries before i was born

[gloomy sleet]

mate is literally an example of non standard english how did you not get that

Great so my motherboard is missing its screws included so can I use the flat head ones ?

[late path]

since this is tech chat i wanna ask opinions on my site. feedback about litterally anything regarding the site is welcome
https://mesmerica.is-a.dev/

typo'd the link twice 💀

[steel umbra]

make sure they have the same thread pitch and thickness

otherwise you will damage your screws and standoff threading

[copper maple]

With amd yes

But it looks like Nvidia GPUs have worse performance with proton

I am asking because I wanted to try steamos

[wheat torrent]

Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2

[wheat torrent]

Any good

People online say no issues on their end

Will the b650 chipset support all am5 cpus until 2027?

[late path]

guys will any mobo with AM5 work for a AMD Ryzen 7 9700X?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

it will basically support every am5 cpu

[late path]

so if i get a A620M it's fine?

or is it that the mobo will work better on the intended series (eg. 7000 series)

ill just get a b650 or something ig since either way itll require a bios update

idk why mobos say Ryzen 7000 when they can support 8000/9000 too just requiring a bios update

i guess since out the box

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

outdated pages

[late path]

yuh

ill get the msi b650m w/ wifi so i wouldnt have to worry about that

[steel umbra]

Because they might have stock that still has the old bios

or didn't update their page

[late path]

i see

[icy rain]

better to take a thermalright PA 120 or thermalright aqua elite
to cool a r7 9700x

[west wagon]

1st key press was windows key, second was left alt

why is it acting like a toggle win key

[true stirrup]

I personally get more performance on Arch using proton than on windows with my 2080 super

[glad hearth]

anyone know were i can get NVIDIA's 590.26 preview driver

[upbeat osprey]

From nvidia

[glacial kraken]

I reset my computer and bricked it

💔

[upbeat osprey]

Skill issue

[glacial kraken]

how

[glacial kraken]

it is litteraly not

[upbeat osprey]

It is

[glacial kraken]

it isnt

[glacial kraken]

i clicked reset button how is that skill issue

[true stirrup]

https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/shadermodel6-9-preview-driver

[random junco]

how do u fail such simple action

[random junco]

i dont think u actually bricked it

[glad hearth]

i see i need an account -_-

ty

[glacial kraken]

it says inseert boot media

[wheat torrent]

So it should be futureproof

[true stirrup]

Yeah unfortunately it's mandatory

[glacial kraken]

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

[wheat torrent]

What are the difference in chipsets anyway

Lots of numbers

[glacial kraken]

bruh my pcs fuckdd

now it wont turn on

[random junco]

so insert it

[glacial kraken]

the thing is i dont hvae a usb

i will just put the pc for free on fb or something

[worn willow]

why my phone doesnt turn on

i want factory reset my old phone but it diesnt turn on

[thorn escarp]

so i have an msi mobo, how do i tell what bios version is in there without booting it up? like is there supposed to be an indication on the board itself?

it's a b550m

cus i'd like to flash it without booting it up if possible

[glacial kraken]

Is Facebook the best platform to give my PC to someone for free

[random junco]

what

no

[magic kite]

Ready to take off

at least it spins ;D

[random gyro]

Yeste day I was doing some overclock stuff on Fedora , And I forgot to turn on GHZ Option on Mangohud , I was 85 degrees on ryzen 5 5600 , I turn off cs2 , add GHZ overlay and Holy shi , 4.8 GHZ ... I directly stop using Overclock XD , Now it's chilling at 55 - max 70 degrees 👍

[thin plover]

why not just buy one

[true stirrup]

You need to get into the bios to see the bios version

[glacial kraken]

The PC isn't worth it I don't use it anyway

[thin plover]

a USB Stick is useful in general

[glacial kraken]

I have never needed one

Anyway someone more skilled than me can use the PC more than me

[tidal geyser]

I have like 6 usb sticks and I need more

I can't understand how people do not have a USB stick, costs 5$ and you can do such a insane amount with it

[true stirrup]

A bit sparkly

[wheat torrent]

W

[tidal geyser]

Pls fix before death or fire

[wheat torrent]

I guess there is no point in getting a b650 motherboard

I should pay a lil extra

[tidal geyser]

What

That makes no sense

[wheat torrent]

Pcle gen 4 only

[tidal geyser]

What does that have to do with anything

[wheat torrent]

Future proofing

[tidal geyser]

Kill me

[tidal geyser]

How much performance do you lose with a 5090 on gen 3

[wheat torrent]

Omg

Reddit says pcle 4 isn't even fully used

[tidal geyser]

Well yea

[wheat torrent]

[tidal geyser]

3% literally 3%

[wheat torrent]

So why would anyone pcle gen 5

[tidal geyser]

Enterprise

[wheat torrent]

Ok

[tidal geyser]

Marketing

[wheat torrent]

I'm not him

[tidal geyser]

And X1 slots

Even tho I do not think I have seen any gen 5 X1 slots

[wheat torrent]

Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2

So this will be just fine

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[wheat torrent]

Until 2027

[tidal geyser]

Probs 2035+

[wheat torrent]

And after

Yes

[tidal geyser]

How long have you been building this pc

[wheat torrent]

I plan to get this am5 then update to best am5 CPU once that's out

[wheat torrent]

1 month

[wheat torrent]

CPU aquired today

[tidal geyser]

And tomorrow the rest of the parts?

[tidal geyser]

Just get a parts list from build a pc for your budget and boom if it's the same store you should get all the parts on the same day

[wheat torrent]

I don't live in a well developed country for this to be the case

Literally have to go to a whole another country to buy some parts. Why are you so condescending

[tidal geyser]

What

[tidal geyser]

You can still save up right?

And tech is always getting better and cheaper

Aka why buying part by part is one of the dumbest things to do

And if buying a pc risks you not being able to eat then do not do it

Oe pay rent or anything else

[wheat torrent]

I bought the cpu used

I will buy the motherboard from a store and pay the extra in order to get warranty

And I will buy the RAM from another country to save on the high prices

[tidal geyser]

Tbh I would just go for an entire used pc even if it's not the latest hardware if that will mean I get to use it and not have parts laying around for months

Ofc if you plan on getting the other parts in like the same week meh

[glacial kraken]

How much would a pc with a 1070 be worth if it doesnt have an ssd and would i get more selling individually or together?

[wheat torrent]

The cpu costs 150 more euro from a local store

[gilded imp]

not much at all

[glacial kraken]

a few hundred?

[tribal briar]

Morning

[gilded imp]

I wouldnt pay nearly that much

[tidal geyser]

How can we even know

[gilded imp]

the 1070 is 9 years old bro

[shy coral]

Maybe if the CPU is good

[tidal geyser]

And then Has a 9950x3d in it

[glacial kraken]

it is a i3 7100, a 1070, 8gb of ram, and a modular psu

[tidal geyser]

200

[gilded imp]

nah bro what

[tidal geyser]

Max

[glacial kraken]

actually idk where the cables are i gotta find it

[gilded imp]

200 for that is crazy

[tidal geyser]

Maybe even just 150

[glacial kraken]

I bought the gpu for 110 like 3 years ago

[rigid ether]

100 usd

[gilded imp]

I wouldnt do more than 50 and thats even if I wanted it

[tidal geyser]

Ok fine it is there is some local 1600 and 1070 pc in Norway for 200

[glacial kraken]

or less

[shy coral]

Ragebait

[tidal geyser]

Ok yea 50-80

[gilded imp]

I wouldnt pay anything for it.. for my usecase it might aswell be ewaste at that point

[glacial kraken]

I will list for 300 ig

[tidal geyser]

It's a 2 core i3

[glacial kraken]

and see who buys

[gilded imp]

its a 9 year old GPU and a 2 core i3 what do you even mean

[shy coral]

Also could someone help me in #1027757333117415424 ? Sorry if that's annoyong or whatever

[tidal geyser]

No

[shy coral]

Nvm true

[wheat torrent]

The ram costs 300 euro locally

[glacial kraken]

i cbf fixing it

[tidal geyser]

I should take that 1600 and 1070 deal of a pc tho

[glacial kraken]

because i need to buy a usb and faff around installing windows all because i tried to wipe it

[gilded imp]

I wouldnt even want it for 50 tbf lol

I cant do anything with it

[tidal geyser]

I dono buy all the parts when your out of the country

[gilded imp]

id obviously take it for free I guess.. but htats just because im a hoarder

[glacial kraken]

why does a gpu depreciate like infitnite in a few years

[tidal geyser]

I would only do 50 for it for the GPU then hope someone will buy the rest for 50 but due to my rule of never buying anything that can't have windows 11 officially installed I can't even buy it at all

[tidal geyser]

You have read then news

[glacial kraken]

because i bought for i think 130 a bit ago

[shy coral]

You bought it 3 years ago but it's 9 years old now

[tidal geyser]

GTX 1000 cards are losing game ready drivers

[glacial kraken]

wdym

[wheat torrent]

Not possible

[shy coral]

You got a mid deal at the time

[glacial kraken]

84.85 US dollars

[gilded imp]

A few years? buddy your GPU is closer to the age of consent then it is to when it released

[glacial kraken]

i bought it a few years ago

[gilded imp]

you bought a few years old card a few years ago

[glacial kraken]

yes

i want about to put a 3090 on something in my pc

[gilded imp]

a 1070 would be a good roblox machine FOR a 9 year old

lol

[glacial kraken]

anyway i have an xbox x now so theres no purpose in fixing the pc if it will be so annoying

[tidal geyser]

1070 is still fine

[glacial kraken]

i dont get why ressetting the pc bricked it

[glacial kraken]

it was an upgrade from what i had before

[gilded imp]

my 2070 is starting to not be enough

[tidal geyser]

Well you have been using it all this time

[gilded imp]

6ish years or something

[glacial kraken]

My cpu is what holds me back anyway

[tidal geyser]

I always see the same cycle, when people get into gaming most times it's just lighter games and the fun is what matters and over time people like turning up the graphics get a job and so on

[glacial kraken]

but im getting off track

what if i sell pc with all 4 monitors and keyboard and mousepad and mouse

[tidal geyser]

You could get a 7700k or 6700k for like 50$

[gilded imp]

I got a 9900k which is the best CPU for my socket so if I ever plan on upgrading my GPU I will basically have to redo my entire PC lol

[last mural]

Do I just leave it like this ?

[tidal geyser]

Or a 9900k

[glacial kraken]

will that get more

[tidal geyser]

Well no you need to plug it in

[gilded imp]

a new GPU means a new PSU, id need a new CPU to keep up with it so that means new mobo, and that means new ram

[tidal geyser]

Good luck

[gilded imp]

which at that point I might as well made a whole 2nd PC rather than upgrading my current

[glacial kraken]

the psu is worth like 100 bucks

because it has modular cords

[tidal geyser]

Just get a 9060 xt 16GB

[last mural]

Oh is it like this ? It’s the 24 pin it just splits off into two

[glacial kraken]

i remmeber my old psu kept bricking all my hard drives so i had to buy this one

[gilded imp]

I might get like a 5080 or something

idk

[tidal geyser]

Well yes the motherboard plug is meant to go into the plug labeled MB as in motherboard

[gilded imp]

4090 maybe if I can find a good deal

[tidal geyser]

5070 ti or 4090

[gilded imp]

I hate the 4090s though, theyre massive

[glacial kraken]

why are cheap pcs so unreliable

[tidal geyser]

The 5080 is just sad

[gilded imp]

the 5090 FE is so small

[tidal geyser]

Costs like 1.5x as much and does only offer like 10% more performance

[glacial kraken]

is fb best place to sell pc

[glacial kraken]

i also selling without drive

[tidal geyser]

There is no best

[tidal geyser]

30$ take it or leave it

[gilded imp]

5090 is like %30+ over the 4090 huh?

[glacial kraken]

no

[gilded imp]

I thought

[glacial kraken]

then it isnt worth selling it

[gilded imp]

Maybe I’ll have to go to CES again and steal a 6090

[tidal geyser]

32GB of VRAM too

[glacial kraken]

i dont know what to do if its worthless i wont sell it but if its worthless whats the point of keeping it

[gilded imp]

1070 could do like uh

[tidal geyser]

There is worth to it bu tits going to take decades

[gilded imp]

Idk encoding or something

[tidal geyser]

Without a drive

[tidal geyser]

No av1 and not efficient at all

[glacial kraken]

because all my drives always break

ive gone through like 5

[tidal geyser]

No tensor cores so not great at ai

[gilded imp]

Efficiency is pretty irrelevant for consumer use though

[tidal geyser]

That looks more like a you issue

[tidal geyser]

What

[gilded imp]

Like a 1070 is going to use a few bucks per year in power

[glacial kraken]

my psu broke 3 and then i upgraded and idk whats wrong with the other ones

[tidal geyser]

For you yea

[gilded imp]

?

[glacial kraken]

how come ressetting the pc in settings bricks it

[tidal geyser]

You keep buying garbage ones

[gilded imp]

Wym

[tidal geyser]

There are places around the world where power really is not cheap

[glacial kraken]

one is samsung one is another brand i think kingston

[gilded imp]

He’s using dollars so I’m assuming he’s American 🤷

[tidal geyser]

But the main issue is more so that it also needs the extra plug

I use USD

[gilded imp]

Yeah but you’re like basically American

[tidal geyser]

But I am far far far away from there

[tidal geyser]

I have never been there

[gilded imp]

Yeah but like America invented humans

[distant frigate]

LED light going crazy

[gilded imp]

So

[glacial kraken]

I do not like pcs

so unreliable

[gilded imp]

Where are the birds

They’re close

[tidal geyser]

Anyhow the 1070 is just fucked, a a310 offers everything and is not far away in price while being way more efficient and not needing any extra power

It can also be tiny af

[tidal geyser]

Pwm

[tidal geyser]

You keep buying crap parts

[gilded imp]

Yeah I mean again, it’s a 9 year old card

[bleak cove]

i have a 5070 ti is the 7800x3d enough or do i need the 9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

Also using a 2 core cpu shit even for its time

[glacial kraken]

not rlly

[tidal geyser]

Overkill really if your at 1440p or 4k with no upscaling

[timber marten]

I have a gtx 960 😭 🙏

[gilded imp]

Really impressive, what other devices have a 9 year period of actually being still useful

[bleak cove]

ight

[tidal geyser]

How did 3 PSUs die then or drives

[tidal geyser]

Still getting driver updates

[glacial kraken]

i mean a 2 core cpu shouldnt cause a pc to crash an burn every time i use it after a few month break

[tribal briar]

I bet i have the worst card i have a gt 730

[gilded imp]

A 9 year old iPhone is definitely not usable anymore

iPhone 6s lol

[tidal geyser]

Considering 2 core CPUs have not been in computers for years and years and years I dono

[tidal geyser]

Fx 3500

[trim gyro]

I have a radeon hd 6570

[cloud sparrow]

Thats a hot take

[tidal geyser]

Older then me

[tidal geyser]

Me too

[tribal briar]

Can it even make calls

[gilded imp]

It’s not at all lol

[tidal geyser]

Mine is 1GB

[gilded imp]

Do you still use an iPhone 6s?

[tidal geyser]

Ofc it can

[cloud sparrow]

X2 250

[bleak cove]

what does upscaling have to do

[tidal geyser]

Less GPU load

[bleak cove]

elaborate

[tidal geyser]

Upscaling just reduces the pixels needed to render

[cloud sparrow]

It is
My parents still use an iPhone 6/6+
Perfectly usable

[tidal geyser]

Thus making less GPU load thus making the cpu the next thing to get higher fps

[cloud sparrow]

Makes calls, texts, plays music
Has BT for their radio

[gilded imp]

They’re worse in almost every way to a 70$ budget android and that Android will actually give you crutial security updates

[tidal geyser]

200$ gets you 120hz oled now a days I think it is

[gilded imp]

Was the iPhone 6 the first to have 4g? Now that America shut down its entire 3g network it’s 4g and up

[tidal geyser]

I would imagine android did it first but I have no real clue

[gilded imp]

First iPhone I mean

[cloud sparrow]

Just because there's something better doesn't mean it all of a sudden doesn't work
Verizon still allows you to use those phones

[tidal geyser]

5

[gilded imp]

should and can are 2 different things

[tidal geyser]

No wait

[glacial kraken]

if i get rid of my pc i can get rid of my desk and then i can fit my new bed into my room, hmmmmmm

[cloud sparrow]

Then it can
It works completely

[gilded imp]

you shouldnt be using a phone 3 years out of security updates that's worse then even the cheapest android phones

just because you can do so

[glacial kraken]

my phone barely works aswell your not alone

[tidal geyser]

Yes 5 first

In early 2012, AT&T was criticized for marketing their HSPA+ infrastructure as "4G" for iPhone 4S.[3][4] In September 2012, Apple released the iPhone 5, the first model with actual support for 4G LTE for data.[5] However, early 4G phones that do not support Voice over LTE (iPhone 5C, 5S and earlier) will no longer be able to make calls when 3G networks are retired in 2022.[6][7][8] In October 2020, Apple introduced the iPhone 12 product line, the first to support 5G connectivity.[9]

[glacial kraken]

i have a galaxy a14

[tidal geyser]

Ok well kinda

6 was the first to have good 4g

So yes iphone 6 is still perfectly usable as just phone

[glacial kraken]

my phone cost $30

[tidal geyser]

I got so much for so little

[tribal briar]

What phone

[glacial kraken]

galazy a14

the mobile carrier was trying to offload the stock

[abstract wigeon]

90% of people with the latest phone would be fine with a phone 5 gens old

[glacial kraken]

i want a new phone

i wouldnt mind a phone that can take photos when i click the button

[tidal geyser]

370$, 12GB ram, 144hz screen, 512GB storage, good nuf cpu, 125w charging and charger, wireless charging can be fully underwater, amazing and very loud speakers

[gilded imp]

5 generations maybe, 10? no

[tidal geyser]

O yea amazing camera with laser range finding

[gilded imp]

There isnt a customer in the world that an iphone 6 would be a good choice for

[tidal geyser]

My grandmother

[gilded imp]

too small of screen

[abstract wigeon]

people who only use phone for texting and internet

[glacial kraken]

I need a new phone im so sad my old one broke

[tidal geyser]

Text big

[gilded imp]

yeah so why would you get a 10 year old iphone

like what

[tidal geyser]

There is so many accessibility settings on those

[abstract wigeon]

cheap

literally anything will do for that customer

[tidal geyser]

It just works

[gilded imp]

so are brand new android phones

[trim gyro]

but like, a brand new phone is $40

[gilded imp]

exactly

[abstract wigeon]

yep?

[gilded imp]

the iphone 6 sells for 38$ on ebay

[tidal geyser]

With the specs of cheese with software not made for it

[gilded imp]

both of these apply moreso to an iphone 6

[timber marten]

Ngl this place need a meme chat

[gilded imp]

except with the added benifit of being 3 years outside security updates

[abstract wigeon]

i wouldn’t tell my grandma with an iphone 6 to go out and buy a $40 android

[gilded imp]

that isnt what we are saying

[tidal geyser]

Well yea right now that is kinda the only case I can see for some not to stick with the 6

The main issue now a days is lacking support

[gilded imp]

the ONLY reason to use an iphone 6 in 2025 is because you already have it

thats not a great reason, but one none the less

[cloud sparrow]

That's not the point though

[gilded imp]

what

the point is that iphone 6 is bad and you shouldnt buy one in 2025

[tidal geyser]

I just had to switch phones after my old ones battery started swelling also losing security support this year

[cloud sparrow]

Cpu probably isn't that goof tho

[cloud sparrow]

Fine
But if you are already using one, and its fine for your needs, that is perfectly fine

[gilded imp]

it will be SUBSTANTIALLY better then the garbage in an iphone 6 lol

[cloud sparrow]

You can get an OP12 for that

[tidal geyser]

Well yea snapdragon 7 gen 3

[gilded imp]

The 6s goes to iOS 15.8.4

[tidal geyser]

Yuh

[gilded imp]

4.7 inches bruh

[cloud sparrow]

Better than mine

[abstract wigeon]

u guys see b570 is going for £180 atm isnt that cool

[cloud sparrow]

So? I'd honestly prefer the smaller size

[gilded imp]

ok

[tidal geyser]

Yay

Motorola edge 50 pro so nice

[gilded imp]

CPU Dual-core 1.84 GHz Twister
GPU PowerVR GT7600 (six-core graphics)

[abstract wigeon]

you dont need a powerful phone to make phone calls

[gilded imp]

yeah, you dont need a smartphone

[abstract wigeon]

for my nan whos using her phone for 20 minutes a day she just doesnt care

[gilded imp]

sounds like she'd probably be better off with a 15$ flipphone then

[abstract wigeon]

she could live with an old flip phone

[abstract wigeon]

whyre we complaining about performance then

[cloud sparrow]

I've got an 865 plus

[tidal geyser]

Only thing I HATE about the snap 7 gen 3 is no av1 decode

[gilded imp]

im not even talking to you or about your grandma anymore bro

[tidal geyser]

Ofc there is software but like ofc it's gonna use more power

[gilded imp]

im just looking at the specs of an iphone 6

[tidal geyser]

The point of av1 is using smol power

[cloud sparrow]

Yeah lol

[gilded imp]

I really like AV1

hope apple finally ships the 17s with full support

[tidal geyser]

Plan is to get a a310 or something and convert everything to av1 in my media server

[cloud sparrow]

Idc
It plays the pc games I want (natively)
It lasts 2 days
And its a 6y old phone

[gilded imp]

Its weird that its taken this long to do av1 encoding

[tidal geyser]

I would need to upgrade my recorder with one too so I do not need to convert for me YouTube videos

[gilded imp]

hurry up apple

[tidal geyser]

Encoding I can get

[gilded imp]

not for the pros

[tidal geyser]

Video editing programs have not been liking it

[gilded imp]

the pros should have had it by now

with how much the modern phone is used in content creation and such

[tidal geyser]

I think it's only the last year or two davinci resolve got it

[gilded imp]

hell, they added the ability to record footage direcly on an external drive

thats way more of a pro feature than av1 encoding

[tidal geyser]

I am considering getting a controller and just using moonlight

[cloud sparrow]

Whats moonlight again

[gilded imp]

my 13 pro max needs an upgrade

im waiting for the 17 though

17 pro max or maybe if they release their "ultra" phone

[tidal geyser]

Remote game streaming

[tidal geyser]

What does it need a upgrade for, thought it was the first to have 120hz

[gilded imp]

its old and broken

[tidal geyser]

Well not that old

[gilded imp]

screen and back, and battery needs a replacement

[tidal geyser]

Stop drop testing it

[gilded imp]

I dropped it in a cave

[tidal geyser]

Get a mouse case

[gilded imp]

I dont use cases

[tidal geyser]

Why

[gilded imp]

apple care is 8$ a month

[tidal geyser]

So why is the screen and back broken

Also it still takes time to repair it

[gilded imp]

Because I was stupid and went with ATT's own protection plan instead lol

[tidal geyser]

It's hard to justify at least for me not using a case

[cloud sparrow]

Why would you want that
If you have the right amount of storage just put on some pc games

[tidal geyser]

I would have printed a new case for my current phone same day I got it but fkn curved screen

[gilded imp]

I went a good 3 years without cracking it

[tidal geyser]

Can you play rt games on the go for long times?

[gilded imp]

I hate how cases look and feel

[tidal geyser]

So get one that looks good and feels good

[gilded imp]

Devices are obviously made to be standalone and are generally more than durable enough to be fine from normal wear and tear

[cloud sparrow]

You don't need rt
It looks good enough to where you don't need it

[hushed shoal]

I have an Intel core i7-7700 3.6 GHz cpu and a Geforce GTX 1070, i am trying to Play cs2 and i am stuck at 60-80 fps, is my to bad or is it something i can do?

[tidal geyser]

How do you even run pc games on a phone

[gilded imp]

bro got the 1070 too

[tidal geyser]

Your cpu does not even support windows 11

Officially

[gilded imp]

Deathstranding runs natively on iphone 15+

[tidal geyser]

O wow

Well apple magic

[gilded imp]

Apple SoCs are no joke

[hushed shoal]

I am currently on Windows 11, should i downgrade to Windows 10

[gilded imp]

my 13 pro max is allegedly more powerful than a ps4

let alone the 4 generations since then

[tidal geyser]

And ofc when you get to make the entire os from the bottom up that helps too

[gilded imp]

yep

[icy rain]

better to take a thermalright PA 120 or thermalright aqua elite
to cool a r7 9700x

[cloud sparrow]

On the phone

[tidal geyser]

Just the Xbox app?

So no steam

[cloud sparrow]

Big picture

[tidal geyser]

Or epic

[tidal geyser]

It's a 65w cpu a cold breeze is enough

[cloud sparrow]

That's big picture mode

[tidal geyser]

Wait can you just download steam games straight on the phone from the steam app

[icy rain]

yeah so PA 120 is enough

[tidal geyser]

More then enough yes

[icy rain]

perfect ty

[tidal geyser]

Please tell me you did not mean remote game streaming from steam

As moonlight is literally that but way better

[hushed shoal]

I have an Intel core i7-7700 3.6 GHz cpu and a Geforce GTX 1070, i am trying to Play cs2 and i am stuck at 60-80 fps, is my to bad or is it something i can do? I also run on Windows 11, i am wondering if i ahould go back to Windows 10 aswrll, will i Get better performance then?

[tidal geyser]

Your pc does not support windows 11 officially for a reason even tho it's crap for most in this case I can get it

https://www.reddit.com/r/FlowZ13/comments/1m5g0yr/z13_2025_failing_timespy_stress_test_rma_it/

Would you keep or send back?

[tidal geyser]

Fails?

If it fails the test it's broken my guy

If it's just a lower score, then mate we are all suffering I'm like 30-40c weather

[storm mist]

not passed= fails the test

97% is needed to be considered succesfull test

[tidal geyser]

What???

What version of timespy do you use

[tidal geyser]

My time spy does not have %

[storm mist]

it is stress loop test

not the normal time spy

go to stress test tab. and pick timespy

[cloud sparrow]

No
That's the pc steam client running
With big picture mode on

[tidal geyser]

So a laptop in what I would imagine a hot room, is not able to be as good for like 1hr of max load

[cloud sparrow]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

So it's just remote game streaming?

[storm mist]

is like 20-25 minutes test or something

[tidal geyser]

Where do I download it

Or does the one on the website just work

[storm mist]

room is 27 degrees. but i think it doesnt matter too much

[tidal geyser]

It's a laptop

It's going to overheat

Live with it

[storm mist]

overheat is different then frame stability.

[tidal geyser]

Get ac and a cooling pad if you care enough about it

[cloud sparrow]

It's not remote

[storm mist]

reviewers are getting 98.5%

many laptops also test and pass the test fine

[tidal geyser]

Ina. 20c room

[storm mist]

so idk what you are saying

[tidal geyser]

Reviewers tend to have ac

And yes 7c is a massive massive difference

They might have also had it on a cooling pad

[storm mist]

i don't think it will magically make my unit 98%

[rigid fjord]

decent reviewers mention the room ambient temp before testing

[storm mist]

no this one cant use cooling pad none of that stuff

[tidal geyser]

What

[storm mist]

it is not a normal laptop

[tidal geyser]

Does it not intake from tbe bottom at all or even have a metal bottom

For that sake even a plastic bottom can be helped by a cooling pad

[storm mist]

it intakes air from the back. and outputs to the top. (kickstand)

nothing on the bottom

[tidal geyser]

Omg it's the flow 13
