[buoyant bridge]

I need more storage

[vagrant fulcrum]

Ok guys I have the big debate pls unbiased decision
9070xt vs 5080 ?
I’m reading so many biased things undervolt 9070xt same as stock 5080 etc whats better I see PNY 5080 for 999 at microcenter

[ivory mountain]

I’d get the 9070xt ngl only 700 at microcenter and pretty damn good

[cursive pendant]

You guys don’t see any sag right

[vagrant fulcrum]

Yeah that’s what I was set on but now 300 more 5080 looks good to me since it’s msrp

[ashen hearth]

How is that possible that with a 1080 I can play Guardians of Galaxy in native 4k at high and mid shadow at 60FPS 🤯

[ivory mountain]

Cause it’s a 5 year old game running on a gpu that isn’t dog shit

[odd marsh]

5080 all the way

[gentle venture]

Im gonna get a 14700kf (or 14900kf) my motherboard is a b760m-a is it gonna be good either either cpu

Just need some help

[stone violet]

You talking about phone use? My phone would go from 100 to 0 in like 5-5:30 hours, on watching youtube+playing clash Royale and battle cats. S22 btw

[leaden grotto]

laptop

[stone violet]

Oh

[leaden grotto]

so i assume that's bad?

[stone violet]

Idk

[leaden grotto]

how much u get on ur laptop

[stone violet]

Like 5 hours so it's bad

[leaden grotto]

from 100 - 0?

[stone violet]

Yes I would say that's bad

[stone violet]

Yup, it's quite old

[leaden grotto]

damn

[ivory mountain]

Holy W

[idle spear]

trying to get a drive that can boot red star os onto my school chromebook

[gleaming rose]

not that simple

Chromebooks typically need specific mods/steps to unlock the bootloader

also, that Chromebook isn't your property and modifying it without permission is vandalism and therefore a crime

[idle spear]

i have a test one that im going to be trying get the bootlaoder towork

[gentle venture]

Can anyone help me rq

[gleaming rose]

#1027757333117415424

[gentle venture]

Nah im just gonna grt a new cpu that's it

I just wanna know if its compatible with my mobo

[gleaming rose]

#1106613567966429224

[gentle venture]

Upgrading

[gleaming rose]

doesn't matter

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-trying-to-not-laugh-speed-holding-laugh-speed-laughing-speed-laugh-gif-242565803459391828

[gentle venture]

Ok

[gleaming rose]

but what mobo

[ivory mountain]

#1106613567966429224

[gleaming rose]

and what cpu

[gleaming rose]

too lazy

[ivory mountain]

Me too ngl

[gleaming rose]

just saw this from someone earlier
I'm pretty sure it's DDR5 as well

[ivory mountain]

My sisters like “why is this laptop so slow” and proceeds to have a a4-9125 😭

[gleaming rose]

the NVMe gen5 SSDs were bottlenecking their network ports

[gentle venture]

Asus b760m-a and im gonna get a 14700kf

[gleaming rose]

so they had to upgrade to DDR5 RAM

[gleaming rose]

update your bios and it'll probably work

[gentle venture]

I heard if I get a i7 it will overheat a lot, even though I have a aio

[gleaming rose]

you heard wrong

get some thermal paste and you'll do ok

[gentle venture]

What about a i9?

Same shit?

[formal sonnet]

So long as you have adequate cooling for your hardware, it will not overheat.

[gentle venture]

The aio should be good enough right?

[gleaming rose]

that's probably at least 100k in RAM

[gleaming rose]

mmm that's one fan

[gentle venture]

Its a masterliquid 360 core II

[gleaming rose]

no it isnt, it'll be ok

[gentle venture]

Dont mind my cat

And its 3 fan

[gleaming rose]

I couldn't tell because of the blurry ass dark ass photo

[gentle venture]

Idk why its dark lmao

Well okay, thx for the advice

[azure topaz]

whys it covered in gooch

[gentle venture]

Im too lazy to clean my side panels

And my cats lick it bc its cold lol

[slim hornet]

Finally back in! Had to go to acers support page and download the intel rapid storage tech driver then side load it to the installer then it finally saw the m.2 and i’m back on a stable consumer edition of windows 11

Now for a shiet ton of reinstalling programs 😂

[formal sonnet]

winget is love, is life. 💕 Or unigetUI if you prefer a GUI.

[balmy tapir]

wild pc listing, no cpu/gpu but cheap fix?!

[ivory mountain]

80% of the pcs value = cheap fix now

[real lantern]

y'know one dumbass will buy it

and then complain it isn't working

and then you go of into the sunset with 250 bucks

[gentle venture]

Or a parent getting it for there kid and try to "fix" it themselves

[real lantern]

atleast the AIO works great

good value

[dry hemlock]

I need some assistance I purchased a older PC it's from around 2015 it's a. (HP Envy 17-n107ng) It seems to be maxed out on disk. I'm currently factory resetting it.

[gentle venture]

Guessing it only has no cpu and gpu, its probably a good deal

250$ for a aio, ram, ssd, mobo, and a case

[gentle venture]

Reset it and check the disk after

[dry hemlock]

On it

[sour sentinel]

[agile narwhal]

Anyone know what this line is on my desktop? It doesn’t show up in games or anything so I assume it’s not an issue with my monitor

[exotic condor]

How do I tell youtube that if I fullscreen the video. It should just do that. Out of nowhere it's decided that fullscreen video actually means fullscreen webpage. And if I try to use the scroll wheel it scrolls down the webpage and moves the video out of view. On what planet are these idiots from. How can I make it so fullscreen video actually does what it's supposed to do.

[dry hemlock]

Still peeking

So it seems to be switching between the CPU, and the disk. It's peeking out and seems when disk is the CPU is not. And likewise the other way

Correction it seems to be settling

Ty

[solar moat]

you have ssd?

[solar moat]

welp if you need to load things from drives and the drive is slow cpu kind of need to wait for it

[grizzled frost]

peaking drive either means dying drive, or too slow of a drive

if it’s a new phenomenon i’m leaning towards the former

[dry hemlock]

It seems to be handling just fine, I bought the older device today and noticed it was peaking I was like oof. But after a reset it fixed the issue.

I appreciate everyone's help.

[dry hemlock]

Correction it has started again. Any tips?

[vital gyro]

ngl all this AI garbage in YT Shorts ads is starting to make me miss the Raid Shadow Legends ads.

I literally just saw an ad that used an AI voice of Elon Musk for some generic stock trading thing.

It even played a video of him for crying out loud...

[solar moat]

[opal glacier]

My MacBook Air M4 return key feels not as clicky compared to the MacBook Air M3. It works and types fine, but it just feels not as tactile.

[vital gyro]

I already miss these ads because of this:
"Life without Rackspace..."
"Stunning Website/'Well we did'" Wix ads.
The Alexa ad with the dude in his office dancing to "Sorry Not Sorry - Demi Lovato"
etc.

I can keep going, but I won't for the sake of making my message actually readable on a platform like Discord.

[timid niche]

Why on earth does a video game want access to my precise location. In Windows 10.

And why is saying yes forcing it to apply to ALL desktop applications.

[cosmic idol]

What game?
And was said game obtained via legal means?

[timid niche]

yes from steam called The First Descendant

[sand epoch]

is a 5070 downgrade from a 7800xt

[tidal geyser]

Ads

No in game but ad tracking maybe statistics

[kind pilot]

i need to reinstall windows and there is a few game save files that I dont want to lose and I want to transfer to them to another ssd so I can reinstall then move them back would it be faster to just transfer all of the files alone or to put them together and make a zip file

[weak sleet]

Why is my ram running at 4800? I have it set to 6000 everywhere I can find but it doesn’t seem to do anything?

[tidal geyser]

Have you tried going out of the bios?

[fringe sigil]

I just turned on my pc and it said automatic repair couldn't help, should I just reinstall windows?

I still got it in my USB, and I cam clean the disk right? From cmd?

[weak sleet]

Yeah, I actually was looking in task manager and noticed it running at 4800. I’ve changed nothing since I last configured it

[tidal geyser]

Save now and go back to windows

[tidal geyser]

How did you manage this

[fringe sigil]

Idk man

[tidal geyser]

Did you install any drivers or mess around on the bios

[fringe sigil]

I turned it on then after I turned on my display and it just wouldn't turn on

So I turned it off from the psu, kind of a stupid decision

Then yeah

[tidal geyser]

Then that is normal

[fringe sigil]

It kinda isn't because it said automatic repairs couldn't fix your PC

I just fresh install windows then?

[fringe sigil]

Can you confirm I can clean the drive that has the old windows on it when on the install windows screen?

[tidal geyser]

No need to reinstall it's just windows was angry you unplugged it

[fringe sigil]

Oof too late

It's fine clean reinstall better I did clean from diskpsrt

[white sphinx]

Stock cooler handles the 7500f right?

[paper pelican]

Guys used RTX 2060s 8gb for 171 bucks is good deal or not?

[sand epoch]

whats a good motherboard for lga 1700?

[iron glen]

Doesn't sound like one, im no expert tho. Sim knows a fair bit more about prices

[tidal geyser]

Just keep using the same one

[white sphinx]

Depends where you are, where i’m at its about the market price for it, could be different in other parts of the world though

[limber nacelle]

depends where you live but id say in most places no, doubly so if usd

[tidal geyser]

where i live in Norway you can get a rx 6600 for about 100

[limber nacelle]

171 is more than i paid for every single 2080ti I've purchased

[tidal geyser]

xd

2080 ti does not go for cheap here in norway but i managed to get a non ti for 120

[limber nacelle]

because non ti is sad compared to the ti 😔

2080ti lowkey aged like fine wine

well, bga issues aside

[tidal geyser]

and vram

[limber nacelle]

nah 11gb isn't that bad

[tidal geyser]

what was it, micron was fine but samsung was died

or was it otherway around

[white sphinx]

I hate how its odd

[tidal geyser]

1GB chips

[white sphinx]

I know but why 11 chips

[tidal geyser]

i know why but i do not know enough to explain it well

its something about bus bandwidth

[white sphinx]

Makes sense, what is it, 196?

On the ti

[tidal geyser]

352

[white sphinx]

Crazy

[white sphinx]

Is that chip removed or did they just not install it

[tidal geyser]

Each GDDR6 memory chip on the 2080 Ti is 32 bits wide.

If they had used 12 chips, the GPU would need a 384-bit bus, which the 2080 Ti doesn’t have enabled (that configuration is reserved for the Quadro RTX 6000/8000 with 24 GB).

AI aint perfect but it can be nice

[white sphinx]

I know, im just wondering why they left the bga unpopulated rather than just… not putting it there. Unless they reuse the pcb for other chips i guess

[tidal geyser]

probs the right spacing but also since th chip can do 12

In short:

The 2080 Ti has a 352-bit bus / 11 GB because NVIDIA intentionally disabled one of the 12 memory channels.

This both improves chip yields and creates a clear distinction between the gaming flagship (2080 Ti) and the workstation flagships (Quadro RTX 6000/8000, Titan RTX).

[white sphinx]

I know, it just ticks me off a bit. I just wish they would have left the edge chip unpopulated rather than the one in the middle

[white sphinx]

Honestly i think its more just for cost saving and segmentation. Its good marketing to be able to market the titan as having «more than double the vram of the 2080ti»

[tidal geyser]

that but i think its mostly
Yield improvement:

Manufacturing large GPUs like TU102 is difficult, and not every die comes out perfect.

By cutting off one of the 32-bit memory channels, NVIDIA can salvage chips with a defective memory controller and sell them as 2080 Tis.

The fully perfect dies (all 12 channels working) get reserved for Quadros or Titans.

[young crest]

golden chips basically

[tidal geyser]

that gens gpu dies were MASSIVE

saving as much as possible was needed

[white sphinx]

Should have gone with 16 chips

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/creep-cat-creeping-cat-creepy-creeping-funny-cat-gif-8339586760496900627

[white sphinx]

Btw that guy on finn didnt include the stock cooler in thw price

[tidal geyser]

it does not come with a stock cooler

the cpu

[white sphinx]

7500f?

[tidal geyser]

ye

[white sphinx]

Crazy, thought they bundled just about everything with a wraight stealth

[tidal geyser]

no x has it

[young crest]

and g

[tidal geyser]

on am5 at least

[tidal geyser]

the Gs have it

[young crest]

bring the prism back frfr

[tidal geyser]

it is

ryzen 7 or better non X

[young crest]

For older ones yes

at least in the case of the 8700G, it’s just a stealth that’s taller

[tidal geyser]

ryzen 7 7700
Thermal Solution (PIB)
AMD Wraith Prism

[young crest]

More beef in there but still

oh

9000s don’t have it I think though

[white sphinx]

weird, says the same for the 7500f.

[tidal geyser]

no it does not

[tidal geyser]

also most 7500Fs is just tray ones

[white sphinx]

Makes sense

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/ffmpeg-my-beloved-ffmpeg-my-beloved-heart-gif-27072625

anyways, why don't i have my license 😭

lemme try my other account hmm

weird

ill check my onedrive

[white sphinx]

had a brainwave. What if i buy a dead pc for like 800kr, rather than the same case for 1000🙂‍↕️

[vapid onyx]

20 series ray tracing was Awful 9060xt 8gb is better than 2080 in RT cyberpunk

[white sphinx]

I will personally smoke it in if tar isnt included

[cunning flume]

anyone knows why my memory has random been disapearing?

[white sphinx]

TBI?

[tidal geyser]

the 9060 xt is like on par with a XTX in RT

[vapid onyx]

this year amd cooked

[vapid onyx]

but xtx no real😭 what are u saying

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

what are you talking about

[vapid onyx]

in some games the 9060 xt beats the 2080 not ti in ray tracing

[idle hound]

Guys how do I place the ikea alex shelves? Do I place them on the outer front corner of the desktop or what???? Also how did you guys who have a desk like this do it? Did you screw them in place or how do you keep the countertop at the same spot

[young crest]

The 2080 is like 7 years old I’d hope the 9060 would beat it

[tidal geyser]

the 9070 xt 8GB beats the 3070 in RT well or more so is on par

[white sphinx]

Depends on what you want to to tbh.

[idle hound]

Like this something

[tidal geyser]

but no i was very wrong the XTX is about a 9070 in RT

but a 5070 is still about on par or well better at RT then the XTX

[white sphinx]

Bottom of the alex drawers has predrilled holes iirc, if you flip the drawers and put it upside down you can just screw it into the tabletop

Short screws though, dont crack the tabletop lol

[idle hound]

Is 9060 xt or 4060 better tho both with and without rt

[tidal geyser]

the 9060 xt is way better

[tidal geyser]

you an literally see the TI here

[idle hound]

I don’t think I’m gonna screw it tho, cuz it’s like a final choice, I might just put an anti slip mat or something between

Cuz then I still have the chance to change it if I want

[white sphinx]

I mean i would just attach it with screws but you do you. Do remember to try to stiffen it up a bit so it doesnt sag in the middle

[idle hound]

Wdym stiffen it up?

[white sphinx]

Unistrut channel 41x21x2.5mm or just a desk stiffening bar

To avoid sag

Especially if you dont want to fasten the alex drawers to it

[vapid onyx]

what game?

[tidal geyser]

14 of them

[vapid onyx]

whit rt?

[tidal geyser]

not like i said i did

[vapid onyx]

i mean they are whit rt or not lol

[idle hound]

do I put these sort of peg legs on it🤷‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

.

[fringe sigil]

Is this my cpu temp?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[fringe sigil]

Js

Js so I don't gotta install other software

[tidal geyser]

WTF why at 70c

[fringe sigil]

This is from gigabytes control center, just making sure

[tidal geyser]

max the fans when the cpu is not even hot

[fringe sigil]

It's not tho the dot is at 40

[tidal geyser]

but 70c is 100%

[fringe sigil]

Ah you want me to put it on max all the time?

[tidal geyser]

NOOO

your cpu is MEANT to go to 95c

[fringe sigil]

No chill I did nothing

[fringe sigil]

Default settings will do it then?

[tidal geyser]

100c can be 100% but like 90c can be 80 or 70

[fringe sigil]

Oh so you wanna only 100 percent at 100 degrees? Fair enough I'll try

[white sphinx]

Wish you could put in a function for your fan ramp definition rather than just dots on a graph

[fringe sigil]

Thanks for the great help, much appreciated. Will try a couple of games to see the temps now. Once again thanks for helping

[hushed tapir]

Will the 9600x bottleneck a 9070xt in 1080p? I checked a few bottleneck checkers online and they all said it with but I’m skeptical that it’s true

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/choking-gif-18241023091515446173

at least you have a brain

its all bullshit

[hushed tapir]

I know. Never believe those things lol

[tidal geyser]

also pleas its 2025 go 1440p

its like 150 for 180hz

[hushed tapir]

I’m asking for a friend. He plans on getting one soon and at that point I know there will be 0 chance of a bottleneck

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/choking-gif-18241023091515446173

stop saying that word

the closest you can ever get is a 5090 and 9950X3D

well rtx pro 6000 and 9950X3D

disable the 2nd CCD too

the b word is not really a thing in computers as in at least one

in short those specs will be more then fine

[swift moss]

how does a film even get this large

[tidal geyser]

xd

you think that is large

[swift moss]

VHS rip before GTA 6

[tidal geyser]

i think most modern films are like 100TB of data

[swift moss]

some yn was telling me he liked watching movies in 150mbps bitrate

[swift moss]

in RAW yeah, with like 15000 different exposures

each frame is around 20MB

[tidal geyser]

looks like TN or VA aka shit

[swift moss]

we need 27" 4k cathode rays

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asfViYLpShM

shall I cop this as a second display

[tidal geyser]

33KG

[hushed tapir]

It’s a VA panel with a 3000:1 contrast ratio

[swift moss]

it is what it is

arghhhhh

my desk can hold me standing on it so it should be fine

[limber nacelle]

das ram is worth like 400 now

[limber nacelle]

man i'm down to one working 2080ti

[tidal geyser]

xd

have you been messing with em

[swift moss]

where do you see ram

[swift moss]

why is it worth 400?

[tidal geyser]

ddr4 production stopped a while ago

the prices have gone insane

[sand epoch]

guys

which one better?

[limber nacelle]

welp, before i take out the ftw3 for good, can i get an F in the chat for this bad boy

[ebon marlin]

Whichever is cheaper

[sand epoch]

same model but one is from amd and another one from asus so im debating which one

[limber nacelle]

2/3 of these cards are just dead now

[sand epoch]

it's the asus one

[ebon marlin]

Neither is AMD

[sand epoch]

is 6000mhz worth the extra 10k inr over a 5200mhz one

idk about ram much

[tidal geyser]

YES

[tidal geyser]

why lga 1700

[sand epoch]

i already own a i5 12400

[tidal geyser]

just use the motherboard you already have

[tidal geyser]

OMG single stick 5200MT

[sand epoch]

since my old board b760m e stopped working and it doesn't have 5v to control RGB

[tidal geyser]

RMA it?

[sand epoch]

alright

Also today is movein day for my last year in college 🥳

[wet scroll]

why do ppl go ffor the r5 5600 when the r7 5700x is like 10 bucks more and 20% better

[clear canyon]

Where??

[wet scroll]

where i live

[tidal geyser]

and that is

[wet scroll]

egypt

[tidal geyser]

just no

[wet scroll]

5600x is 6k egp and the 5700x is 6.5k...

[tidal geyser]

also 20% better where

what games

[wet scroll]

in games its a few frames diff

[tidal geyser]

so not 20%

[wet scroll]

20% general power not in g ames

[clear canyon]

20% is like 19% + 1% mire peformance

😭

Jumpscare 😭

[tidal geyser]

rendering simulations in blender or video editing or what

[clear canyon]

Playing doom 1

[wet scroll]

I DONNT KNOW

[limber nacelle]

it should be about 33% faster in cpu renders vs the 5600 tbh

[wet scroll]

SEEE

[limber nacelle]

its 2 more cores compared to same arch. and it scales fairly linearly for that

[wet scroll]

also it has 2 more cores and 4 more threads

[swift moss]

mehappy

linux iso very quick

[limber nacelle]

you didnt prove nothin

[wet scroll]

i know

[languid isle]

is the Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 3060 12GB a good combo? (this is my current pc)

[wet scroll]

im not veery into cpus but ik thee 5700x is betteer value for where i am

[swift moss]

fluxus maximus

[wet scroll]

get an rx 6700 xt instead

wll

depends how much it iis where you are

but thee 3060 12gb and 6700 are the same price here

[wet scroll]

can i ask smth tho

[limber nacelle]

no

[wet scroll]

would either of them bottleneck a 3080ti

[limber nacelle]

im gonna kill you

[wet scroll]

i asked anyway

[wet scroll]

mmph

okay mb

[wet scroll]

:3

[tidal geyser]

ofc but just doing it as way too many people just spew numbers with no meaning

ofc would way rather take a 5700X when its almost nothing more

[wet scroll]

i admit im not that knowwledgeable

[swift moss]

we love outselves some custom cpu silicon

[limber nacelle]

man my week is so ruined

[tidal geyser]

so do not send numbers?

[limber nacelle]

why did my 2080ti ftw3 decide to randomnly commit die today

[swift moss]

you can't even take advantage of RISC because theres a fixed amount of intruction registers that can't be reimplimented as carry registers like RISC does

[limber nacelle]

only way my week gets fixed is if I win a 6000 blackwell pro

[gloomy sleet]

needs more

also my new soldering iron is coming

[swift moss]

whats the model?

[gloomy sleet]

no clue

was talking to some coworkers about it and some guy knew a guy who had a good one

[swift moss]

lol

[gloomy sleet]

considering it’s free and coming monday idk might as well try it

[swift moss]

😭 thats a bit of an issue, could be a walmart one lol

[swift moss]

oh yeah fair enough if its free

who tf INVENTED BGA FOR 3mm wide chips

just begging for pcb real estate atp

[gloomy sleet]

your allowed to sell soldering irons in grocery stores there?

over here you can’t sell it if you don’t have a license to sell them iirc

shoould i get this used samsung ssd? its for 40

i have no idea what any of the numbers mean tho

[sand epoch]

do pc case brands matter?

ive found local brands which are cheaper than lian li and they got good cabinets

because 15k inr for a cabinet is too much for me

[cosmic lance]

you can get a brand new one for like 50

not worth it

[cosmic lance]

[wet scroll]

samsung ones are 80+ here

if you really cant find new for a good price

get the one from the seller

[wet scroll]

yes i can and thats its price there

[tidal geyser]

someone get me to buy a quest 3

420$

[true stirrup]

EKWB/LM Tek HQ
(Ignore how bad the photos are I took them while in the car)

[cosmic lance]

cool

[tidal geyser]

aaaaaaaa

welp i do have a quest 2 i could sell

[mellow escarp]

What's a good capture card I can get for cheap?

[tidal geyser]

the cheapest capture card you can find

[mellow escarp]

Well i want it to run fine so I can stream it on discord, but I dont wanna break my wallet since its to stream a ps4

[tidal geyser]

so get the cheapest

[sleek ibex]

Slovenia

[true stirrup]

Well EKWB is a Slovenian company ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sleek ibex]

Ik. I mean it's literally my hobby after all

[inner veldt]

I first cleaned my AW2725DF OLED screen with a dry microfiber cloth, then wiped it with a microfiber cloth dampened with pure water. Now, when I check with a flashlight, I can see some hairline scratches. Should I be worried?

[tidal geyser]

its called dust

also only with a flashlight on a OFF screen

I DID IT i sent the offer for 420 for the quest 3

[true stirrup]

Yeah that's true lol
I didn't know that they scraped the EKWB sign from everywhere near the HQ tho
It's all LM Tek signs and not a single EKWB one

[sleek ibex]

Yeh the biggest faces of the Brand have left ship. Atila is now at Noctua, Joe Robey is now working for Thermal Grizzly, Davido Labido is now at BiWin..... Matic, IDEK if he's still there or not, but doubt he is

So all the bigger folks you saw on EK's YT channel before the LM Tek bought out are no longer there

[true stirrup]

That's sad I didn't know it was that bad
Hopefully EKWB stays around. I like their products and they are basically the only big thing in the computer space we have in Slovenia

[sleek ibex]

Yep the situation is just rough all round. Joe Robey was the master mind behind the latest design in the language of Matrix 7 before LM Tek, quantum torque fittings, and the EK Quantum lineup (especially the 30 series FE blocks)

[inner veldt]

So should I worry about it, did I screwed the screen?

[tidal geyser]

i am 99% sure its glass

[abstract wigeon]

quest 3 was the most fun £500 ive ever spent

for 420 dollars its a steal

i dont care much for the standalone performance ive always used it with my pc

but the lenses/screens are better than anything else in that price range by tons

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaa

[abstract wigeon]

half life alyx 😋

[tidal geyser]

already got a quest 2 but its meh and front heavy

[abstract wigeon]

me too but the difference is actually crazy

[tidal geyser]

mo power is also still nice

[abstract wigeon]

i cant describe how different the lenses are

[abstract wigeon]

ehhh on standalone its still not great but over pc is great

u mean battery or like gpu power

[abstract wigeon]

battery i mean is ehhh

[tidal geyser]

it would still be nice as i did buy one quest game

xd i should also upgrade my network to 6e now

my phone and laptops are gonna be it soon and now maybe vr headset if i get chosen

[tidal geyser]

WOW that literally looks perfect

i think i see a tiny tiny tiny bit of dust

[abstract wigeon]

i have a couple games on standalone but i just play the pc version of them for less sickening frames

i live for vr mods for flatscreen games

[tidal geyser]

UEVR

[abstract wigeon]

the coating on my qd oled got scuffed to shit the first time i cleaned it with the included microfibre

[tidal geyser]

i just want a headset that looks amazing

[inner veldt]

do you still use it?

[tidal geyser]

and is not so front heavy

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[abstract wigeon]

yep

oh not the cloth i got a different one but same result

[abstract wigeon]

noooo

[inner veldt]

so nothig to worry about eh

[tidal geyser]

the 2nd cheapest headset on my used market, look at how he is taking the pic

[abstract wigeon]

sun damage 🤩

[steel umbra]

imagine if wind blows and bay bay

[tidal geyser]

wind would need to be STRONG

[abstract wigeon]

make sure u get a 3rd party strap btw

i can recommend the bobovr straps ive used 3 and all have been very comfortable and quality

[rigid fjord]

sudden knock and then an "oh fuck"

wish they didn't blur out the scenery though, looks better than the headset

[tired bear]

get a psvr2 instead, recently eye tracking has been reverse engineered for pc and hopefully foviated rendering will be avalibile soon

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean reverse engineered

sony made a dedicated box for it

[tired bear]

yea it works but without hdr and eye tracking with official software

[tidal geyser]

sad

[abstract wigeon]

not all features

[tidal geyser]

funny thing i was gonna do the PSVR2

[abstract wigeon]

foviated rendering will be the biggest selling point i think

[tidal geyser]

but then i read the reviews of it aaanddd yeeeaa

its amazing but old OLED tech

[autumn idol]

How do i make my localhost accessible to anyone? I want to host minecraft server without using hamachi

[tired bear]

yesss
too bad that steam vr does not support it

[tidal geyser]

and WAY WAY WAY lower PPI

[abstract wigeon]

its GREAT if you have a ps5 with it

[abstract wigeon]

its oled?

[tidal geyser]

open a port

[autumn idol]

Why do atx boards designed for big gpus have a second 4x16 slot so close below the first slot

[tidal geyser]

like hello guys i am making a video can you give me any tips about good ways to teach others how to make a self hosted server accessible to others outside of LAN

[tidal geyser]

that is up to the board maker

also even tho we have big gpus does not mean people use em

[tired bear]

develper behaviour - no clue on how networking is done
what do you mean by "which ports does your application uses" open them all
also put in a dns entry for 127.0.0.0

[tidal geyser]

xd

[unique olive]

Is the 5070 2 or 3 slots cause I guess if it’s 2 that would be reasonable

[tidal geyser]

both

[unique olive]

[tidal geyser]

someone has not seen this

[unique olive]

Also how do disable the rgb lighting on Asus Tuf mobo when pc is powered off

[unique olive]

That looks horrible

[tidal geyser]

i think its possible in the bios

[tidal geyser]

got more vram then your gpu

[unique olive]

Is it a 4000 or something

[tidal geyser]

that is what it says on the gpu

[unique olive]

It’s blurry

Fuck it got 20 gb let me go get a xtx or something cheap just to beat it

[tidal geyser]

it aint

[keen saddle]

if i have a spare 3090 what would i gain from putting it on a pc with a 4080 in it already

[tidal geyser]

it is 100% gonna beat a XTX at everything but gaming

[tidal geyser]

sell it for 1k

[unique olive]

No just vram spec

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1284411645115895888/1284790406898516008/skibidicat.gif

[unique olive]

3090’s go for 6-700 around where I live

[keen saddle]

i mean yeah, but im just curious because as far as i know it dosent actually make the pc much faster

[tidal geyser]

nvidia is better at memory management

[keen saddle]

about 550£ here for used

[tidal geyser]

wat

[unique olive]

Grumpy ass cat

[keen saddle]

for games i mean

[tidal geyser]

i do not understand

do you think dual gpu is still a thing even more so without SLI??

[gloomy sleet]

keyboards is a weird hobby

paying nearly £7 for a rubber band is quite wild

[keen saddle]

like if i already have a 4080 putting a 3090 in it wont give me a better oc for games

[keen saddle]

its not?

[tidal geyser]

no it will not give you a better OC??

[keen saddle]

i thought people just stopped doing it, didnt know it outright didn’t work

[tidal geyser]

first of all, you need a supported game, motherboard, 2 of the same gpus, sli bridge, and able to tolerate the issues of having to process things on 2 different things

[keen saddle]

ok cool ty, that answers everything then lol

[tidal geyser]

you also need a psu for 2 gpus

[unique olive]

I’m just waiting for the guy I bought this 9070xt off of to drop the astral 5080 he’s selling to $1000

[tidal geyser]

he is not gonna drop a astral to 1k

[unique olive]

He’s at $1200

[tidal geyser]

the astral 5080 new is still at 1800

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FfHp99/asus-rog-astral-oc-geforce-rtx-5080-16-gb-video-card-rog-astral-rtx5080-o16g-gaming

[unique olive]

I’m not saying he’s gonna but he sold the 9070 xt at msrp for a normal 9070 xt so it is a possibility

A new red devil is almost $1000 so the guy seems fine with losing money

You don’t buy a 5080 and upgrade to a 5090 if your not expecting to loose money

[sinful cobalt]

[steel umbra]

tek

[versed meteor]

is this arm or AMD64

surface 2

[tidal geyser]

its i7?

[versed meteor]

idek im confused

[tidal geyser]

why are you not on window 11

[versed meteor]

what

[tidal geyser]

windows 11

[versed meteor]

idk someone just gave it to me

[abstract wigeon]

crazy how theres kinda no point buying anything between a 9070xt and a 5090

[sinful cobalt]

he literally barely qualify for w11 kek

[tidal geyser]

yup

[abstract wigeon]

could get the astral 5080 for what 3x a 9070xt and like 15% more fps

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah do NOT expect the GPD Win 5 to be cheaper then $1500 with Strix Halo onboard

[abstract wigeon]

“strix halo” and “cheap” is never happening 💔

[tulip sparrow]

Even Framework is charging like $1600+ for their Strix Halo based desktop

[tidal geyser]

how much ram

[tulip sparrow]

Win 5 or Framework Desktop?

[tidal geyser]

both

1.6k for 64GB and 2k for 128GB for the ai max 395

[versed meteor]

it was x86-64 n it supports windows 11 👍

[tidal geyser]

yea i know

i have one but i5

[versed meteor]

what model

[sinful cobalt]

if you overclock to 450w its like 25%-30%

[tulip sparrow]

GPD Win 5 says UP TO 128GB of ram and 64GB/128GB options for the Framework Desktop

[tidal geyser]

pro 6

[versed meteor]

what i5 gen

[tidal geyser]

what if you then OCed the 9070 xt

[tulip sparrow]

Also the Framework does come in a cheaper less powerful 385 vvariant with 32gb of ram

[tidal geyser]

#tech-chat-1 message

[sinful cobalt]

its at most gaining like 10-15%

[versed meteor]

ik but like i5-what

[tidal geyser]

no 8060s

[tidal geyser]

same as you

[versed meteor]

8 gen

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah

[versed meteor]

cool

[tidal geyser]

now i just use my HP envy x360 with a 3700U all the time

[tulip sparrow]

So yeah I am not expecting the Win 5 to be cheaper then $1500 unless they happen to saddle it with 32gb of ram for some reason total

[tidal geyser]

up to 128GB LPDDR5X @ 8000 MT/s

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah I am honestly expecting 64gb and 128gb options honestly

[tidal geyser]

HOLY JESUS HELL WHAT, the size of a steamdeck with more ram then most peoples servers

only a IPS screen

[tulip sparrow]

And I am expecting the 128GB option to be mainly for those who want to do AI workloads on the thing for some reason. Most gamers would be fine with the 64GB with 16-24gb of that ram set for GPU usage

[tidal geyser]

yea

[tulip sparrow]

Hell sub 16GB of VRAM should be plenty for the screen size honestly

[tidal geyser]

you can get 60 fps ion alan wake 2 high

[tidal geyser]

1080p

[tulip sparrow]

1440p is when you start to need that 16gb honestly

[rose stream]

That much ram for that reason is somewhat of a dumb concept for them to try and capitalize on honestly.

[tidal geyser]

its in the specs

[abstract wigeon]

should i just pull the trigger on a 9070xt or keep convincing myself they will make a 9080xt at some point

[alpine heron]

Big model are big

[tidal geyser]

but like what normal person will spend 1500$+ for worse than what you can get from a laptop with it in it

[tulip sparrow]

Strix Halo is a BNEAST when it comes to AI/LLM tho thanks to being to set up to 96GB of vram

[tidal geyser]

unified memeory

[rose stream]

But for the wrong kind of device, for the wrong target market. Lol.

[alpine heron]

And one of the cooler parts is the memory interconnect, which is also why it's soldered / couldn't even go cam

[tidal geyser]

quad channel ram

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure laptops are $2k+ at least the Asus Zen FLow 13 is $2300

[tidal geyser]

no its just dual, they claim the 32 bit funky thing ddr5 does is a different channel

[alpine heron]

Most of my laptops are $100 or so?

[rose stream]

Now this is awesome.

[tulip sparrow]

I was talking Strix Halo laptops are $2k+

[tidal geyser]

bet we are gonna see em for good prices when the GPD comes out

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure the cheapest device with it is the Framework Desktop and that is $1600 with 64GB of ram and $2k with 128GB of ram

[alpine heron]

Add that to your statement then. As there's tons of other devices

[tidal geyser]

GDDR5X is good

when people shit on soldered memory they have no clue what they are talking about

[rose stream]

Honestly though, they should've either stopped at 64 gigs or at least at 48 gigs instead.

[tidal geyser]

48GB would be cool, 24GB vram and 24GB ram

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah 48 would have been fine with at least 16gb of vram and 32gb of ram with the ability to go as low as 16gb of ram and 32gb of vram

[tidal geyser]

or 16GB vram and 32GB ram

[tulip sparrow]

But yeah with that 128GB I am expecting the full 96gb of vram to be doable

[random gyro]

Is there a way to watch age resistricted videos

[tidal geyser]

yea be old enough

[rose stream]

What an oddly-specific question. Lmao.

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah you aren't going to get any real help here with that

[random gyro]

There is a youtuber "Fleekazoid" he made a video on prototype but his video got age restricted and I can't find his video anymore

[tidal geyser]

you sure he was allowed to make a video about it

i would not be surprised if he got a take down notice

[tulip sparrow]

The Megan Man Legends 3 Prototype?

That is kind of where my mind goes when Prototype pops up

[gleaming rose]

like what kind of question is this 😭

[tulip sparrow]

Ok GPD does offer 32GB of ram for the Win 5

[tidal geyser]

well yea

[tulip sparrow]

Also MiniSSD slot just sounds like what Phones use to have before the SD slot was taken away aka SD in the sim slot

[tidal geyser]

yes it has a slot for a micro SD card

[tulip sparrow]

32gb+1tb is going to be the cheapest WIn 5 model and I am expecting that to MAYBE be $1500

@tidal geyser yeah along with this new thing called minissd

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[rose stream]

I really wish there was a 24 gig option for a lowest end model sometimes.

[tidal geyser]

https://www.theverge.com/news/759624/china-is-about-to-launch-ssds-so-small-you-insert-them-like-a-sim-card

[rose stream]

Hrrrmmm...

[tulip sparrow]

As I said that just reminds me of the way phones have been doing SD cardxs for years aka in the sim tray

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah 16gb of ram and 8gb of vram should be plenty for 1080p I would think for most games

So the concept of the minissd isn't anything new

1.5tb/2tb micro sd and a 4tb minissd along with the built in 4tb ssd and you are rolling in storage

that would be a total of 10tb

[tidal geyser]

o hey look another envy

[tired bear]

Rip screen

[tidal geyser]

some people do not deserve computers

[tulip sparrow]

lol coule be far worse the screen could be completely broken

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if i can get it cheaper than the one i already got

[tulip sparrow]

at least that one is semi usable

[tired bear]

I sentance this user to lifetime of ipad usage

[tidal geyser]

if you break the hinges on this you would have had to do that on purpose

[livid plaza]

what do you think of this PSU https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/6mpQzy/thermalright-tb-750-750-w-80-bronze-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-tb-750

[tidal geyser]

lets see how low i can get it, right now at 100 asked for 60

no

[latent mica]

Adjusted my fan curve and my CPU sits around 55°C and GPU at 61°C. Should I adjust it so that the temps are lower or is it fine now

[sinful cobalt]

dawg thats ice cold if thats under load

[tidal geyser]

you should adjust it so its hotter

[latent mica]

I get them temps playing high setting ark ascended on 4k and Forza 5 on max

[sinful cobalt]

dude has the fans at 100% from the get go

[polar bluff]

Just tried to go to my Bios, screen is black, any tips?

[latent mica]

The GPU curve is almost flat and the other fans go quite high, but the pc is very quiet

[leaden grotto]

is 11w battery discharge good?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[leaden grotto]

like the discharge rate

[gleaming rose]

depends on the battery size

and what you're doing

[leaden grotto]

watching videos

battery size is 84wh

[gleaming rose]

so you'll get 7 and a half hours of life

[tidal geyser]

you are not watching videos with it on

[tidal geyser]

more

[gleaming rose]

84wh and 11w is 7.6 hours

[tidal geyser]

its not 11w

it will be lower

[leaden grotto]

it's 11w, reported by hwinfo

[latent mica]

K, I'll make the fan curve a bit lower

[tidal geyser]

not when actually watching itwithout hwinfo or discord on

[leaden grotto]

wdym

oh like it will be lesser without discord?

[gleaming rose]

so then like 8 hours

[tidal geyser]

more

[leaden grotto]

ic

[gleaming rose]

hwinfo wont draw much

[leaden grotto]

kinda weird how a gaming laptop draws the same

[tidal geyser]

no the issue is that its on

[leaden grotto]

with a dgpu too

[tidal geyser]

when you only have youtube going windows enters into a super power saver mode

[gilded harness]

yeah its time to upgrade the table

theres 0 space on the desk now

Absolute nothing.

[tidal geyser]

so put the pc on the floor?

[sinful cobalt]

i have it worse than you

[gloomy minnow]

what’s a good psu, my psu has just gone and looking at a buying a new one

[leaden grotto]

how are people getting 4.2w discharge dang

[tidal geyser]

RMA it

also how do you know its the psu AND that it did not kill anything else

[tidal geyser]

i got 2

[leaden grotto]

tf now

[tidal geyser]

that is a short

[gloomy minnow]

and just plugged a different psu in and it’s working

[tidal geyser]

does it do the same thing if you jump the PSU as in the psu fans spins but then stops and you hear a click?

[tidal geyser]

well in that case yea new psu time

[gloomy minnow]

yeah i have another psu from my sister pc so i plugged it in with the 24 pin and it’s working

[gleaming rose]

ui design :3

[gloomy minnow]

@tidal geyser

so just a new psu time yeah

The lt720 I bought came very oily out of the box (around the pump area), should I not install it?

[azure oar]

That is assembly grease. You should be okay.

[tame orbit]

Oh alright

If you want to check, plug it in before you install it.

[tame orbit]

So I just plug in pump header and run it to see whether new liquid appears?

Basically, yeah

I have an external SATA/MOLEX supply that I use for testing things like that

[keen saddle]

putting all your parts into a pc case is so relaxing

[sinful cobalt]

tell them to get a 5070ti

[abstract wigeon]

just get a 5070ti / 9070xt its not worth the price hike for the smallish performance boost

also its fornite who cares

[unique olive]

Yeah but astral 5080 for 1200

[coarse minnow]

Hello everyone, i put this command on cmd c: \windows /f all /s v:. Now i am stuck with this. Is there a way i can just combine them back again?

[sinful cobalt]

fuck the astral

[abstract wigeon]

yeah but 9070xt for half the price

[latent pasture]

this was their driver software suite like, 15 years ago

[sinful cobalt]

if ur stupid af then u get the 5080 astral

[wanton flume]

i have never seen this lmao is this a good card

[sinful cobalt]

thats not for gaming

[unique olive]

Has to be nvidea he’s a big ai fan

[sinful cobalt]

thats a productivity card

[wanton flume]

ohh

[latent pasture]

just get 5070ti it still has the 16g vram

[unique olive]

Is that gonna work with a 4kx1440p monitor though

[pastel ridge]

Damn 🙏

The thing is on an old computer from my grandad that was once windows 7 but had a window 10 liscense added onto it

[latent pasture]

why would that be a problem

[unique olive]

So you made it worse? Windows 7 was peak Microsoft

[pastel ridge]

I didn’t add the windows 10 my grandad did

[unique olive]

High refresh rate not sure what the 5070ti can do at that resolution

[sinful cobalt]

shut up timmy we dont need ur opinion about windows :V

[unique olive]

Oh

[sinful cobalt]

no offense btw*

[unique olive]

[pastel ridge]

It does still the windows 7 stuff on it plus I’ve got some old xp, vista and 7 licenses in a tub in a cupboard

[latent pasture]

even in 4k ultra raytracing its like 12% less than 5080 lol
for several hundred $$$ cheaper

ur gonna pay what $500 for that level of uplift?

[unique olive]

It’s a buy one get one free sale on shit opinions from me today

[latent pasture]

and no improvement to vram

[sinful cobalt]

i love telling 5080 owners “I CANT HEAR YOU DOWN THERE”

totally not me entirely ragebaiting some O11 RGB unifans 5080 kid like last week

[unique olive]

Is this really how dog shit the 5080 is damn

Even at msrp that’s not worth it

[trim gyro]

pay 50% more money for like 15% performance increase

it's just not worth it

[unique olive]

They could have atleast put 24 gb vram in it

[cosmic lance]

should i get a new cpu cooler of case cooler? i dont have any case cooler and my stock cpu cooler is nasty

[sinful cobalt]

cpu cooler

[viscid gull]

what mobo should i get then

[cosmic lance]

120$ for windows??? 😭

[royal scaffold]

That’s the official price. 😭

[viscid gull]

and?

normal price

[royal scaffold]

You may find physical copies for way cheaper in my country though.

I am not the person buying it. 😭

💀

[cosmic lance]

sorry i forgot my meds

[royal scaffold]

Meds?

[cosmic lance]

i know, you are probably the first person ever who buys windows 10 full price with his build
give this man an award

[viscid gull]

well im not broke i have job so im not gonna do through the time to get keys other ways

[cosmic lance]

i never said its bad, im just saying its rare

[unique olive]

Nope your right I thought 650’s all had pcie 4

[cosmic lance]

is it good?

[unique olive]

How many watts is the 7800x3d

[cosmic lance]

120 im pretty sure

[sinful cobalt]

more than 1

[cosmic lance]

oh yeah, tdp is 120w

[modern walrus]

your nvme drive is more than your cpu, can't be serious

[sinful cobalt]

7800x3d is essentially 70w gaming anyway

[cosmic lance]

i was today years old that i found out the gt 1010 released in 2021

[unique olive]

Why does pcpartspicker say 623 watts for that build then

[modern walrus]

highest I have seen my 7800x3d go is 80watts, gaming is around 50watts

[unique olive]

No way that acer 9070xt is drawing 500 watts on its own

[sinful cobalt]

because its accounting for max power

that everything will use

[unique olive]

Maybe it’s cause it couldn’t find the product listing so it’s assuming higher

[sinful cobalt]

it may also be due to the fact its assuming max load for the 9100 pro which is a gen5 ssd aka thermal throttling region

[unique olive]

All I know is it said 500w for the 9800x3d and 9070 xt build I just did

Which is realistic at 120watts for cpu max load 350 watts for the 9070xt

[cosmic lance]

can someone find me a good cpu cooler for under 350 mad? https://www.ultrapc.ma/46-ventirads-processeur, my case is https://www.amazon.eg/-/en/Fantech-CG71-Gaming-Computer-Tempered/dp/B0922Z9Q44

[sinful cobalt]

9800x3d is 140

[unique olive]

I did the default oc in ryzen master and it set the tdp to 1000w

[cosmic lance]

is this fan a good upgrade from stock cooler? (am4)

[royal scaffold]

Seems like it is.

[sinful cobalt]

real men use a thermalright phantom spirit 120 evo

[royal scaffold]

But you sure it is available in your country?

[cosmic lance]

its a local website 😂

[sinful cobalt]

thats why i said real men

[royal scaffold]

Then go for it?

[unique olive]

How much is that 9070xt anyways

[cosmic lance]

ty

[royal scaffold]

How much is the Thermalright one?

How much of a constraint in the budget is it?

[abstract wigeon]

and he local hosts them?

[cosmic lance]

like 30 ish dollars

[abstract wigeon]

its not like you need a gpu to run chatgpt off the website i mean

[royal scaffold]

Local currency.
How much does the Thermalright and the Deepcool one cost, and how much total budget do you have including the other components you are buying.

[sinful cobalt]

chatgpt has the consumer as the product anyway

[abstract wigeon]

what doesnt?

[unique olive]

No he just uses a bunch of ai software but I know if he gets a proper pc he’s gonna try shit locally

[royal scaffold]

If we are lucky, we might cut some money from other stuff you are buying.

[cosmic lance]

697 mad for the thermalright, the deepcool one is 199

[abstract wigeon]

5080 is a bad choice for that with only 16gb vram. DEFO hold on for the 24gb 5080 super coming in jan

[royal scaffold]

Damnit

[royal scaffold]

Go with the Deepcool.

[cosmic lance]

oh ok, but how can I know if its compatible with my case?

[neon oasis]

Anyone got an idea what this NVMe controller status could be caused by?

This device cannot start (code 10)
{Device Timeout}
The specified I/O operation on %hs was not completed before the time-out period expired.

[unique olive]

Not really most ollama models either run on 16 gb or 400gb VRAM

[abstract wigeon]

google xyz case max cooler dimensions and xyz cooler dimensions

[cosmic lance]

ty

[royal scaffold]

You can always put your components on PC Part Picker to check if they are compatible. Unless you use some local case. In the latter case you’ll have to figure that out using dimensions available on the official websites.

[royal scaffold]

I just realized it is dammit/damn it, and not damnit. 💀

[cosmic lance]

my case isnt in pc part picker 😭

[left dove]

Good morning you dweebs & doofuses

[sinful cobalt]

im boutta turn in to bed lmao

[ivory mountain]

It’s Saturday ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[cosmic lance]

just checked, it is compatible, but is it a big jump over the stock cooler? (r5 3600, B450M A PRO MAX)

[charred sundial]

Genuinely having a KVM switch built into my monitor is the best accidental purchase I've made

[ivory mountain]

Mine has one too

Lowkey never used it tho

[royal scaffold]

You can find temperature comparisons online.

[royal scaffold]

Found it nevermind -
https://youtu.be/d8-1H-UZ7E0?si=ECwmZLpH-3UBGLZt

[cosmic lance]

around 3-8 c° difference

should i take it or leave it?

he also have the same cpu as me

[grizzled frost]

do you care about 6-10c difference

[ivory mountain]

Idiots man I swear

[cosmic lance]

maybe idk

[royal scaffold]

See the video further.

[royal scaffold]

It could make a difference of 20 degrees as well.

[cosmic lance]

wow

im def taking it, thanks for your help

[royal scaffold]

But still, you should see the entire video and then make a decision rather than listening to me.

[cosmic lance]

is there a way to reduce those prices?

[left dove]

wait for a sale?

[grizzled frost]

or find a different site with better prices

[royal scaffold]

I like the way I am literally planning to buy the exact same mouse.

[cosmic lance]

lol

[ripe spire]

Chat what we thinking is gonna be the best balance between performance and battery life windows gaming handheld of 2025?

[cosmic lance]

idk

[royal scaffold]

The only issue is that people are telling me it is bad as it develops double click issues real quick.

[cosmic lance]

i heard the same, but its one of the only mouses in the website wich can do actuall decent dragclicking

[royal scaffold]

That is a totally unrelated matter that I have fixed that in multiple mice before and somehow managed to fix a mouse with a dead switch with the exact same fix.

So I just don’t know what’s gonna happen.

[royal scaffold]

What made you consider that issue anyway?

I mean mice.

[cosmic lance]

dragcliccking

also my mouse is too big and chunky

[royal scaffold]

What is that? The way you click multiple times by dragging your index finger on the top of the mouse?

And friction does the job?

[cosmic lance]

kinda?

[modern walrus]

I doubt that the series x can even go NATIVE 120fps

[royal scaffold]

Just like you draw dotted lines on a blackboard...

[cosmic lance]

the series s is for 1440p???

[royal scaffold]

This?
https://youtube.com/shorts/KE663qmFzO8?si=ZQdHApWu38IeyA8Q

[left dove]

yeah the s can do 1440

but its upscaled from 1080 i think

[cosmic lance]

yes

i almost ripped out my ears because of that music

[cosmic lance]

knew it

[lapis furnace]

i just learned today that windows xp gangster and gold editions are real OS's

[royal scaffold]

What?!

Couldn’t you find that information 20 years ago?!

[left dove]

just like the justin beiber windows edition, or the mlp edition

[lapis furnace]

no

[left dove]

they're not legit msft releases

they're community edits

[lapis furnace]

ofc...

[left dove]

You never know in this server ok

some people are genuinely airheads

[lapis furnace]

:hmm:

[left dove]

some = a lot

[royal scaffold]

I was somehow expecting the Gold Edition to be official. 😅

[left dove]

But what features would it even include aside from an obvious skin change

[lapis furnace]

these custom versions feel good to use tho - especially the win xp gold... makes the pc look made of 24k gold

[lapis furnace]

some of them do have additional features

[tidal geyser]

I just biked across half my city

[left dove]

ok yusuf amir

[lapis furnace]

congrats now drink coconut water

[lapis furnace]

im not HIM

[tidal geyser]

No

[royal scaffold]

That would look sick on a computer made of gold. 💀

[mental geyser]

i learned how to not make my gpu get hotter than the sun

[lapis furnace]

my buddy actually has a pc coated with gold film... and hes not even using win xp gold. what a shame

[lapis furnace]

nice. now play doom on it

[royal scaffold]

Tell him to do it or I’ll come to his house and steal his dog.

🔪

[royal scaffold]

And that’s?

[mental geyser]

by limiting my fps instead of making it unlimited max fps

[royal scaffold]

V-Sync?

[mental geyser]

no

[royal scaffold]

Manually limiting?

[mental geyser]

yes

[lapis furnace]

using v-sync in 2025? 🥀 💔

[mental geyser]

through game setting

[royal scaffold]

What is the problem though?

[mental geyser]

fuck you

[ivory mountain]

shitsync

[gleaming rose]

what a joke

[feral kelp]

What do I do, does anyone know. It's a fresh windows install but it's saying I should install a driver. Which I can't do without being connected to the WiFi I presume. I am using an X870 ROG F and it has WiFi 7.

[lapis furnace]

it just sucks

[lapis furnace]

arguable

[royal scaffold]

?ban @mental geyser 69d Swearing!

wdym arguable

[ivory mountain]

he looks familiar

[gleaming rose]

do you support vibe "coders"

[stark kiln]

You are a freaky individual 😋

[gilded harness]

what

[feral kelp]

Thanks

[mental geyser]

i thought aboout my message and i apologise cause i realised it just actually sucks

[ivory mountain]

i was joking but you really should use wired, less hiccups, faster, and more stable.

[kindred halo]

Where do I know this guy from

[left dove]

Did ER & The Pitt

[mental geyser]

idk what i was thinking

[royal scaffold]

I literally remember a place (sadly it is nuked now) where the rules were like -

If you do X, you will be banned on the 3rd offense. If you continue doing that, we will kick you.

💀

[left dove]

god the man got HOT

[kindred halo]

Probably saw him in a YouTube short

[feral kelp]

I just plugged it in but nothing is showing up.

[ivory mountain]

what motherboard do u have
