[white sphinx]

Yeah because i have 2x splittable 8 pin cables

So i would have to split one if i wanted the 4 pin

[grizzled frost]

Correct

there’s almost never a dedicated cpu 4 pin cable

since the connector is designed to be 4+4

[azure topaz]

sometimes they dont even split

[clear canyon]

?

[grizzled frost]

already answered, the ping and reply is unnecessary

[clear canyon]

Idc

I didnt see it, so i respond

[obsidian osprey]

Anyone know why dram light is on after replacing gpu?

[grizzled frost]

dram has nothing to do with the GPU

[clear canyon]

No one can answer that

[grizzled frost]

it has everything to do with your installed ram dimms

[clear canyon]

Dram is ram

[grizzled frost]

correct

[magic basalt]

How long to let RAM be trained on PC?

[grizzled frost]

till it’s finished

5-10 minutes max

more if it’s a server platform

[magic basalt]

I got 7800x3d if that matters and no not a server.

[tidal geyser]

da ram

[tidal geyser]

put it in slot 2 and 4

[magic basalt]

Yoo sim

Long time

[clear canyon]

Da ram! 🗣

[clear canyon]

Long see, no time

[magic basalt]

Yeah it is i got my DP in my mobo since my GPU not connected atm

[tidal geyser]

Labtob

[clear canyon]

Lapbottom

[magic basalt]

😂

[tidal geyser]

tis on the way

144hz screen for a 1650

[magic basalt]

How much?

[tidal geyser]

labtob was 100 the screen 80

[magic basalt]

Insane value

U resell stuff after fixing?

[rigid fjord]

see time, no long

[tidal geyser]

yus

[rigid fjord]

ffs discord

[tidal geyser]

buy broken sell fixed

[magic basalt]

W

I just resell new stuff like phones etc

[magic basalt]

Ngl i see no output

[obsidian osprey]

Yeah but it was working before I changed my gpu

[tidal geyser]

that sounds like drop shipping if its just not a normal store

[magic basalt]

Should I just shut down the pc and put in gpu and see what happens?

[rigid fjord]

was meant to be a reply to creaper

[magic basalt]

Yeah basically but way smaller scale

[tidal geyser]

anyways, i probs got this for 12$ considering the date the seller said he was gonna send it on has been changed a few times it gets harder to think i got it

[ivory mountain]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6gy9sM5/

didn’t even try to stress test 😭

These TikTok’s bro 😭

[white sphinx]

Btw dumb question. I have some random fan control hub, it has a sata and pwm cable in addition to the fan cables. Sata to the psu and pwm to the mobo?

[ivory mountain]

Yes

The pwm controls speeds via bios or software and the sata powers the hub

[azure topaz]

yes

[empty quartz]

No

[tidal geyser]

Dust

[valid fiber]

and someone in the household was smoking

[tidal geyser]

Where da thermal paste gone

[pine palm]

It evaporated

[latent gull]

My belly

[robust trail]

gross. Need a giant ultrasonic filled with iso

[shut sentinel]

is it feasible to remote connect my mac (at school) to my PC (at home) so i can run solidworks on my mac?

[white sphinx]

First build lesgo

[raw trout]

Intel based mac?

[azure topaz]

whats yo mistake here

[raw trout]

I ate it

[raw trout]

The gpu be having negative sag?

[shut sentinel]

silicon

[raw trout]

Oh nvm

[white sphinx]

?

[raw trout]

Parallels desktop?

[azure topaz]

you have a cable right by the hole its supposed to go through

instead its running across the entire bottom of the case

its a nitpick but youre already here

[livid dagger]

UTM is free mac based VM

[raw trout]

Yea that works too

[white sphinx]

Yeah fair, its way too long. Its super annoying

[raw trout]

Is solidworks on mac?

[white sphinx]

Also it looks horrible if i use the other hole

[azure topaz]

idk why front audio is still in the bottom right of the board in all honesty

[shut sentinel]

i’m going to try vm fusion i was just wondering if connecting remotely would work since my pc is powerful

[azure topaz]

bottom left myt bad

[white sphinx]

I honestly feel like if i run the cable that way it would break.

[raw trout]

https://youtu.be/HxFEnc5SNQE?si=x2eSsPsJ4nwczC4O

Found this on a Mac forum

[azure topaz]

wack. i did it all da time? why do you think itll break?

just a jarring angle?

[balmy tapir]

nah, you'd need to use parallels or something

[stark kiln]

Guys is this laptop good?

[white sphinx]

That connector has seen better days

[raw trout]

Not value for money. 3050 is for 30k rupees nowadays

[azure topaz]

it should be okay but i see what u mean

[livid dagger]

It's VM so not running in Mac, and with expensive software...

[azure topaz]

what flavor of video card is that?

[raw trout]

Oh .

[white sphinx]

5070 ^^

[livid dagger]

Chocolate

[raw trout]

Can he use wine?

[azure topaz]

ti or nah

[white sphinx]

Nah

[azure topaz]

asus prime?

[livid dagger]

No, it's also a different architecture.

[white sphinx]

It was like 400$ more lol. Palit infinity

[azure topaz]

ah nice

[balmy tapir]

for solid works?! no lol

[azure topaz]

tbh if your workload relys on windows i wouldnt even try swapping to linux unless you have like a month vacation

[balmy tapir]

parallels is good tbf, but not free

[raw trout]

Bummer.

[white sphinx]

Redundant?

[azure topaz]

likely

[raw trout]

I have seen some videos of windows on arm on macbooks

[azure topaz]

everything plugged in in your case?

[balmy tapir]

i dual boot solely for solideorks and excel lol

[azure topaz]

if so, yes

[raw trout]

I mean cover page not the bideo

[raw trout]

I dual boot for voicemeeter

[livid dagger]

You can't even buy a non subscription based license to Parallels.

[raw trout]

Much apple like. Too bad apple wants everything to revolve around them

[livid dagger]

Apple doesn't make Parallels or decide their license model.

[balmy tapir]

apple doesn't make it lol

[raw trout]

Im calling is apple ish

[balmy tapir]

just don't get a mac for engineering ezpz

[livid dagger]

UTM is free alternative.

[raw trout]

A silicon macbook or a intel mac with security chip

[balmy tapir]

neither?!

[livid dagger]

Do they really call it silicon macbook?

[tepid matrix]

guys a 4050 laptop or 3060 laptop

[raw trout]

No im saying not to buy them

[raw trout]

4050 all the way

[balmy tapir]

who's buying intel macs ??

[raw trout]

I got for free this month

[tepid matrix]

alrightt, thats the same thing ai said

[arctic tapir]

Speaking of laptops, what a score! Amazon returns place lol

[raw trout]

I can finally play. Fortnite on my pc at a stable fps

[tepid matrix]

would yall say a hp victus is good for a budget laptop, i found one for a pretty good price

[raw trout]

As long as it's not a hinge failure model

[white sphinx]

Hopefully

[tepid matrix]

hurray

now set it up and make sure to setup guest agent in yo vms

[bold laurel]

okay it doesnt work D:

i think i did something wrong

atleast i cant get on it via my pc D:

[tepid matrix]

Is that the only problem that I should be aware of?

[lapis furnace]

Overrated asf

[tepid matrix]

Also when I’m adding more ram into my laptop, anything I should be aware of beforehand?

[tepid matrix]

Holy glare

[bold laurel]

GERMANNNN

[lapis furnace]

Ja genau

But so pricey tho

[bold laurel]

im not german im dutch

[lapis furnace]

I wouldn't

i got 4 8tb SAS HDD's in my server

[azure topaz]

looks great! id stuff that cable

[azure topaz]

[bold laurel]

i dont think the proxmox is working D:

Is this still m.2? Could in plug this into my gaming PC with an adapter? Lmao

[balmy tapir]

i mean maybe? no clue lol it's made for servers but you might be able to adapt

[ivory star]

Hey, I Removed my gpu to install an m.2, but After I put the gpu back in pc wont turn on, my gpu is an rtx 4070 super

[main sleet]

Chat! Should I get these?

[ivory star]

Any suggestions or help would be very appreciated

[vague glacier]

im a big fan of my nothing cmf pro buds 2

[vague glacier]

double check all connections: how its sat in the pcie lane, the power connection to the gpu + the psu

[main sleet]

These?

[ivory star]

How do I check the power connection and psu?

[vague glacier]

https://us.nothing.tech/products/cmf-buds-pro-2?Colour=Orange

[azure topaz]

augh

[tidal geyser]

EDP is fun

[azure topaz]

i got close

[tidal geyser]

Welp wanna know a fun fact

[balmy tapir]

by chance did installing the m.2 disable pcie lanes to your boot drive?

or to the gpu?

like with my mobo if i use the 2nd m.2 i lose the 5&6 sata ports

[gleaming rose]

what the FUCK

[azure topaz]

lol

[gleaming rose]

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html?m=1

[ivory mountain]

Hahahahhaa

[gleaming rose]

what does this even mean 😭

[ivory mountain]

Fuck you pirates!!!

[azure topaz]

means you cant steal anymore lol

[gleaming rose]

yes because piracy is the only use of app sideloading

[azure topaz]

a large use of it

vanced, ++ apps, etc

[ivory mountain]

Be honest, 90% of android sideloading is piracy

[gleaming rose]

I rarely use it for that

[azure topaz]

yeah and you proobably had/have youtube vanced on your phone

[gleaming rose]

a lot of very good apps aren't on the play store

[azure topaz]

like youtube vanced

[gleaming rose]

oh I've had it but I don't count that as piracy

[azure topaz]

it literally gives you yt premium features for free what do you mean

[gleaming rose]

because fuck YouTube
I'll donate to the creators I like

[azure topaz]

fuck youtube and fuck everyone on it apparently lol

[ivory mountain]

Pretty sure the creators get paid out mostly via ad revenue and when you don’t watch ads they kinda don’t get paid

[gleaming rose]

like they pay much of that ad revenue to the creators

[vapid onyx]

i thought that windows corrupted my drive but i think i uninstalled all my pcie drivers whit DDU 😭

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/fukuro-fukuro-one-piece-one-piece-cp9-zipper-gif-2523183987061192504

[azure topaz]

several people have made millions of dollars of youtube shawty

[gleaming rose]

I don't have vanced on TV where I watch the most youtube and I don't have it on my phone currently either

[azure topaz]

emulation

but thats mixed cause its not always piracy

[ivory mountain]

I’m a basic bitch and use Apple Music

[azure topaz]

i also use apple music

i also pay for youtube premium

[vapid onyx]

android better

[azure topaz]

android music

[gleaming rose]

I use apple music

[gleaming rose]

yeah rip emulation

[ivory mountain]

Android music is tuff icl

[gleaming rose]

rip the apps of any developer that doesn't want/cant put their app on the play store

[ivory mountain]

All the emulators except switch ones are on the play store now aren’t they

[azure topaz]

i am going to go out on a whim and say most people using emulators on their phone are pirating

by most i mean a solid 99%

[ivory mountain]

More like 100% of the people

[gleaming rose]

who gives a shit is my question

[kindred halo]

I use soundcloud

[azure topaz]

google...obviously

[gleaming rose]

yeah so does that make it correct for them to ban sideloaded apps?

[azure topaz]

its not banning sideloaded apps

[gleaming rose]

fuck your freedoms because we don't like what some people are doing them

[azure topaz]

its banning unverified sideloaded apps

[ivory mountain]

What 90% of people are doing with them*

[gleaming rose]

yay now all the developers have to get verified

I'm sure that won't be problematic

[azure topaz]

similar to apples developer program im sure anyone who is actually a developer will get verified pretty easily

[gleaming rose]

why should that ever be necessary

[ivory mountain]

Will probably be even easier cause they aren’t as strict as Apple

[azure topaz]

i dont like malware on my phone

[gleaming rose]

why can't they just let people do what they want with hardware they paid for

[gleaming rose]

then don't download malware onto your phone

[azure topaz]

put a new os on it

[azure topaz]

i cant because i only sideload apps and dont use the playstore

[gleaming rose]

???

[gleaming rose]

can't even do that anymore tbh

[ivory mountain]

Bros waffling

[azure topaz]

it is a change that impacts a small section of people and an even smaller section of people doing legal things

[gleaming rose]

Google was the last major company publishing their trees with their devices and they just stopped. They at least don't try and stop you from unlocking your bootloader like every other American (imported or not) android phone

[ivory mountain]

God damn murica

[gleaming rose]

anyways if I'm doing piracy on my phone that I paid for that's my own business

[azure topaz]

you have every right to but they also have every right to stop you

[gleaming rose]

every right to stop me why?

[azure topaz]

idk its their os idk

[gleaming rose]

why do companies get to tell me what I am allowed to do with my own hardware

[tidal geyser]

Are there even any non android phone OSes

[gleaming rose]

pmOS and a few other Linux based ones

but it's getting harder to develop custom roms for android phones because companies are making it harder

[glass crest]

Does anyone have any usb isolators? Which ones do u guys have

[gleaming rose]

I want like a pocket laptop that is actually serviceable as a phone

[gleaming rose]

I have a turbo encabulator does that count

[glass crest]

Sounds fancy

Looks very fancy 😭

[tidal geyser]

Usb isolator??

[glass crest]

Yea, I got this one coming in today

I just want to see the other options I could’ve picked tbh

[tidal geyser]

What

[azure topaz]

what even

up to 480mbit

[glass crest]

Was hearing electrical/windy noise on my earphones/amp

[azure topaz]

does usb 2 even support that

[tidal geyser]

It's digital???????

[azure topaz]

USB c apple dac

new audio interface entirely

[gleaming rose]

yeah digital signals aren't typically affected much by noise

[tidal geyser]

It's like buying a fancy HDMI cable since you are hearing hissing

[glass crest]

Iems -> moondrop dawn pro -> usb c cable -> usb -> motherboard pc

[tidal geyser]

If you are using earc

[gleaming rose]

I want like a handheld desktop pc

[gleaming rose]

yeah you don't need an isolator for that wtf

if you hear hissing send your dac back because it's probably faulty

[glass crest]

I have ferrite clamps coming in too

[gleaming rose]

you're insane

[glass crest]

😭

[glass crest]

Just occasional like “windy” noises

Hoping these will fix the issue

[upbeat cove]

are you sure the analog connectors are clean

[gleaming rose]

yeah this is not an issue that either will fix

[glass crest]

Nope

I’m new to all this ngl

[glass crest]

Definitely the amp?

[faint flower]

Enough paste?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[faint flower]

Thanks

[reef wren]

Is this sufficient enough for my 5090 🧍

[tidal geyser]

[reef wren]

Yes

[livid fern]

Wouldnt get it tho

[empty quartz]

Are you still in the hellhole of a server filled with misinformation?

[plain cypress]

You need at least 3kw for a 5090 😎

[livid fern]

what server?

[empty quartz]

Ztt

[livid fern]

Im not Active there. I dont chat there or anything

[merry dagger]

Noticed one guy is selling suspiciously cheap rtx 2080 ti on my local marketplace

meanwhile the photo of gpu:

i just hate such scumbags

[azure topaz]

it’s too thin to be 20 series

2080ti was 2.5 slot iirc

https://media.power-cdn.net/images/h-18433343e09d1aad79867289896c0600/products/966062/966062_1_600x600_w_g.webp

but good spot

[merry dagger]

2080 ti would also never have a DVI port

[kindred halo]

What do you think it is? A 1080 Ti?

I think the 10 series had DVI

[merry dagger]

Probably 1050

[kindred halo]

Lemme check my 1050 Ti

[kindred halo]

I doubt RoG made 3 fanners for a PCIe power card

Oh wait

[merry dagger]

It's board also very short for 3x radiator

[clear canyon]

Rx 500 series does

[kindred halo]

Probably changed out the chip inside

[kindred halo]

Yeah mismatch

I'd say RX 500 like Creeper suggested or GTX 10

[azure topaz]

yeah

its probably a 1080ti strix, seller just stupid

eh actually probably not

[kindred halo]

Board looks like a mismatch

[azure topaz]

its a 1080 strix probably

[tidal geyser]

too short

[azure topaz]

the pcb goes down

[merry dagger]

Reported his sale, I almost felt for such scam 3 years ago when was buying 2080, i noticed VGA port on it
and refused to receive and pay for it

[kindred halo]

Good job you noticed it

I probably wouldn't have tbh

[azure topaz]

i mean unless you have a poor 2nd hand market you probably wouldve been able to get your money back unless it was like a local sale

and if its a local sale with no photos of it working or at least a model no its not worth picking up regardless lol

its definitely a 10 series card

[rigid fjord]

yup, usb2 theoretical max, but most of these isolaters for usb are snake oil

[wild stump]

i own one it infact does not

[merry dagger]

About my local delivery, if you choose to send shipping to postal office instead of your house door, you can check what's inside and if you don't like what's inside you can refuse receiving shipping and never pay
very handy for such fishy buys

[azure topaz]

sounds like the meta strat indeed

the one that fits whatever requirements youre about to type out

if you know your requirements why do we have to look for it 😭

[wild stump]

yall what board would yall recomend for a i7-14700K
requrements:
ddr5 preferably 4 slots
bluetooth
front usb header
atx size

[wild stump]

someone may know a hidden gem

[azure topaz]

4 slots of ddr5 is stupid and you shouldnt do it 👍

at least 4 actual sticks*, my bad

[iron glen]

Y not

[azure topaz]

lower speeds higher incompatibility

[wild stump]

im doing big 3d renders

like real big ones

i need the capacity

[rigid fjord]

think i made my curry a little to spicey

[azure topaz]

okay then, just be aware of the caveats

[rigid fjord]

then get a 2x48gb kit

[iron glen]

Idk i've been understanding it as "don't use the 4 slots you have for ram or seat them next to eachother"

[iron glen]

Hi rauko

[azure topaz]

yes youre understanding it right lol

[wild stump]

id rather not spend a kidney on ram my income isnt that high

[rigid fjord]

sup

[iron glen]

Why even make motherboards with 4 slots then?

[azure topaz]

so people dont freak out and complain that their board only has 2 slots

[rigid fjord]

you'd be spending it on incompatability and instability by trying to go 4x ddr5

[wild stump]

and the real reason?

[azure topaz]

wdym

[iron glen]

Charge more money

[rigid fjord]

because people are idiots

[azure topaz]

that is the real reason 😭

[wild stump]

wdym incompatability if its 4 of the exact same sticks there souldnt be "incompatability"

[azure topaz]

people just dont want boards with 2 slots because its "worse" than 4

[reef wren]

Understood

[azure topaz]

it is harder on the cpus and board to run

you are guaranteed lower speeds on 4 sticks vs 2 sticks

there is no if ands or buts, if its a consumer platform, 2dpc is worse

[rigid fjord]

4 sticks from the same brand does not mean 2 kits with matching ic's

[azure topaz]

good luck getting speeds above 6k on most platforms without extreme effort on 4dimm

[wild stump]

whats that kinda bs

[robust trail]

2 DIMMs on Ryzen IMC == faster perf. 4 DIMMs on Ryzen IMC == very slow perf. Basically of you want hardcore gamer mode use two slots, if you want big boy RAM footprint and your workload doesn't care about RAM perf, you are fine.

[azure topaz]

^

[wild stump]

also isnt 4 sticks of ddr5 on average faster than 2 sticks of ddr4

[azure topaz]

no man please just listen

[rigid fjord]

there's also with some previously having half the total capacity when combining 2 kits of the same speed and capacity as well previously

[azure topaz]

i dont like typing the same thing 6 other people are also saying 20 times

[rigid fjord]

nope

[rigid fjord]

4x ddr5 = 3600 cl40 without manually tuning

[azure topaz]

like every reddit answer is parroting the same thing we are i promise we're being legit

while reddits further explanations are stupid theyre at least initially right

[rigid fjord]

ddr3 and ddr4 pretty much the only ones not having any major issues running 4 sticks

[robust trail]

If you want 4 sicks of RAM, get an intel 13th or 14th gen CPU. I'm not sure about the whatever the new Intel procs are and RAM perf

[toxic lynx]

Huawei MateView GT 34'' Ultrawide Curved monitor, 165Hz refresh rate PROBLEM WITH REFRESH RATE

Hey guys! I have problem with exactly this: refresh rate - I tried to put to max 165Hz or even 144Hz, but my screen keeps "randomly disconnecting" like..going black for a sec and then I get the image back. When I lock refresh rate to 120Hz it works fine. I'm using DisplayPort cable.
Is it possible to fix this and how? I was already trying to connect with HDMI and another DP cable but problem was still present.

Thoughts and recommendations please? 🙂 Thanks!

[rigid fjord]

they could be unstable, but they can be ran at their xmp speeds for the better part

[azure topaz]

they are very good IMC wise

[wild stump]

i have a 14th gen

[robust trail]

You should be able to run 4 sticks at 6000+

[wild stump]

i just said i7-14700k

[azure topaz]

i would say 5600 lol

5600+, even with 5600 being a maybe lol

[robust trail]

Every Intel proc I've tested has run at 6000+ no problem

[azure topaz]

and ive had the opposite experience

[robust trail]

You have had very bad luck 🙁

[azure topaz]

tried to help some guy here for weeks trying to get a 4dimm 5600 config stable, just wouldnt do it

[robust trail]

I wouldn't try to go over 6400 because that's where I've run into barfing issues

[icy basin]

I went on holiday for 7 days and now that I have come back my pc is experiencing some issues, first of all it didn't turn on until I plugged the power cable in and out, now it has turned off and I cannot turn it back on, I try plug the power cable in and out but all that happens is that the lights and fans work for legit half a second and then turn off

[robust trail]

Was it a budget tier poop motherboard?

[azure topaz]

no it was like a 500$ board

[robust trail]

damn, with the lastest bios?

[azure topaz]

aorus something or other

[azure topaz]

give or take, doesnt matter so much past 0x129

[robust trail]

That is balls luck, they must have had a shit ass proc

[azure topaz]

probably yeah

or just a surprisingly bad 4 dimm board

[rigid fjord]

could it be the ram itself?

[azure topaz]

worked separately

if youre running a genuinely mission critical workload i dont think you should even enable XMP lol

[robust trail]

yeah. Early BIOS versions were pretty poop with RAM bandwidth but a year or so after launch of 12th or 13th gen it started getting better.

[azure topaz]

yeah

@wild stump basically any cheap z790 board that fits your reqs btw

[robust trail]

I had a good pile of intel CPUs that all ran 6000+ with almost no tweaks

[hexed tapir]

Stop buying 4x8gb kits smh

[azure topaz]

ebay has a ton of cheapo z790 boards, id look there first if youre okay with used

[robust trail]

maybe a little voltage bump on some kits

[azure topaz]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/T2H7YJ/gigabyte-z790-aorus-elite-ax-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-aorus-elite-ax
if you want new thats a pretty good deal

does indeed check every box

[hexed tapir]

No 8bit display 😢

[tidal geyser]

welp shit

[azure topaz]

love the "front usb header" in the requirements

[azure topaz]

fawkkkkkkk

[wild stump]

il add that to the mabye what yall think bout the MSI PRO Z790-P WiFi tho

[tidal geyser]

sadly

[azure topaz]

uh literally more expensive than the one i sent and worse

unless you found a used one or sumn

[tidal geyser]

i do not think this is gonna work but its something

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[azure topaz]

if it works you better jump for joy

[hexed tapir]

OLED swap it

[tidal geyser]

1650 laptop

[azure topaz]

360hz 1440p oled immediately

[random junco]

i win

[tidal geyser]

it would have been a bit cheaper going 60hz too

[rigid fjord]

30 to 40 pin edp adapters?

[wheat torrent]

Hey @rigid fjord

are you really getting 400$ worth of more gpu when going from 5070 to 5070 ti

the price increase is wiiiiiild

[tidal geyser]

that is what it says yea

[azure topaz]

not really

[tidal geyser]

400?

[wheat torrent]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

aint it 550 to 750

[azure topaz]

at this pricing it makes sense to buy the 5070ti

[wheat torrent]

same image

[tidal geyser]

xd

[azure topaz]

my bad this computer is tupid

[tidal geyser]

you get no s

[wheat torrent]

I saw the memory bus is bigger

[azure topaz]

it doesnt fucking put things on the clipboard that i screenshot until the fucking notification disappears

[wheat torrent]

a bit more cores I recall

So I live in republic of moldova, neighboring country is Romania, which is part of the EU so the prices are always better

[hexed tapir]

Don't buy 12gb cards that are over $250

[azure topaz]

the performance difference is above

[wheat torrent]

those are the CHEAPEST prices in romania

665.35 United States Dollar
963.92 United States Dollar

~300 usd diff, out here it's 400 usd diff

[hexed tapir]

What about a 9070xt

[wheat torrent]

I would say it is worth it

but idk, its kinda crazy to have such big difference, it feels like a difference of a whole GPU

you definetly can buy a decent gpu for 300 usd

[wheat torrent]

I can't do amd, I need it for productivty

[tidal geyser]

what do you do that can only do cuda?

the 9070 xt is like 800ron cheaper than the 5070 ti

[wheat torrent]

and other softwares have gpu acceleration on cuda only

• from the benchmarks I've looked at

initially I was looking for a 7900 xtx, it seemed really good and nearly on par with the 5070 ti

but when I looked at specific benchmarks it just didnt live up to it

[hexed tapir]

Oh your a fashion nerd

[wheat torrent]

nahh not really I just do 3d modeling and it varries a lot

substance painter, industry standard for texturing has gpu acceleration only for nvidia cards

they added sum for amd but its not the same

[ocean axle]

just write your own software that uses AMD, ez

[wheat torrent]

the 7900 xtx is so good on paper though im sad I cant get it

24 gb of vram 🙏

I was thinking of waiting for the 5070 ti super

but I am sure it will be ~1000-1100 usd out here

and there will probably be another month or two of waiting until it's available out here

[tidal geyser]

used 3090?

[wheat torrent]

I can't know if it comes out in q3 or q4, or next year

[plain cypress]

👀

How about $700 12gb card

[wheat torrent]

let me take a look

how is the compute on the 3090? compared to 5070

[tidal geyser]

xd the same

[hexed tapir]

73 fucking tabs

[wheat torrent]

I talked with some other artists and I was informed that it's not all about vram amount

[tidal geyser]

mine does not even have a number

[wheat torrent]

is it really?

until recently I found out that 3090 ti exists, but it's impossible for me to get that

[rigid fjord]

mild

[grizzled frost]

how did you not know there was a 3090ti

[wheat torrent]

11000mdl = 665 usd

price seems aight I guess? but I have to check hows the compute compared to a 5070

[hexed tapir]

Save up for a 5090

[tidal geyser]

what are you even using now

[wheat torrent]

thats 2 generation behind, and I remember people saying that 3090->4090 was a 100% performance increase

[wheat torrent]

3070

[plain cypress]

Oh cause chrome defaults to new tab page and I just close the app when I'm done
I can absolutely click close all but lazy

[tidal geyser]

how bad is it

[plain cypress]

Oh my

[wheat torrent]

it shits the bed sometimes

usable but slow

[hexed tapir]

My god

[plain cypress]

Okay but that proves I don't go back to them
I just always end up opening a new tab

[sharp ivy]

I put my new gpu back together

[wheat torrent]

Reason I want to buy a gpu is because I decided to sell my camera that I am not using no more

[sharp ivy]

Tis my first blower gpu

[wheat torrent]

it will just lose value with time and I am not using it, so I thought about re-investing it into what I use to make money

[sharp ivy]

Was fun to take apart

[wheat torrent]

those used 3090 seems sketchy idk

what the fuck is this

[tidal geyser]

hot vram

[wheat torrent]

I dont want to buy anything used in my country

this guy looks legit

[honest tartan]

Just gotMy self an Brand New phone A samsung S 23 ultra

[wheat torrent]

is a used 3090 worth 600 bucks @tidal geyser ?

[tidal geyser]

24GB vram

[wheat torrent]

im looking at prices on ebay and it seems to be around same price

if not more

[rigid fjord]

tbf dude, there's 6000 and 8000 nvidia cards out before many consumers knew about them

[wheat torrent]

wait what the 3090 has more cuda cores than the 5070 ti

mmmm but the 5070 ti ones are 1.5x faster

memory bandwidth is the same 🤔

seems like the compute on 5070 ti is around 30% better though

30% worse compute but 66% the vram amount

[spring latch]

for some weird reason the Celeron J4125 isnt technaclly locked, the J4125 doesnt have a fixed turbo boost, 2.6-2.9GHz and can boost higher with good cooling

its just no BIOS in any PCs that use this CPU would let you do this

unlike non K CPUs, the multiplier isnt locked in the silicon for some reason

[idle spear]

i lost the left button on my friggin mouse

[wheat torrent]

are gpu prices ever going to go down?

everyone is saying that its not a good time to buy a gpu now but I don't think its a good time any time, people always complain that the prices are high

I think its just the way it is nowadays

It is resonable to wait for prices to drop near their MSRP, except we don't live in resonable times in the past few years

[azure topaz]

5070ti been going slowly going down

[random junco]

i buy gpus when a new range has been released

[ornate swan]

is this enough thermal paste?

[wheat torrent]

I guess so

but we are talking +3-4 months for a significant drop in price

[azure topaz]

...yeah its a brand new product..

[wheat torrent]

you right

[wheat torrent]

here it dropped 370 usd in 4 months

[azure topaz]

asus prime was like 829 and now its 750 like 2 or 3 months later

[wheat torrent]

so I guess if I wait until winter I might be able to buy one at around +100 usd msrp

[wheat torrent]

what a coincidence

the graph above is for the asus prime

1355 usd to 1000

[hexed tapir]

Hopefully we have the new super cards by then

[wheat torrent]

I guess I should just wait a bit?

well

if the super cards are very good I won't be able to buy them at a good price for ~6 months

if the super cards are not good I won't be able to buy the 5070 ti at a good price either

since everyone will go ahead and buy 5070 ti's, I assume im not the only one waiting for 5070 ti super and 5080 to release

[hexed tapir]

The regular cards should be cheaper though

[wheat torrent]

true

why are the cards not close to MSRP in eu?

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1kvzam8/whats_the_price_for_rtx_5070_ti_in_european/

[hexed tapir]

Vat, and ai

[wheat torrent]

wait is there a differnet msrp for EU countries

that include VAT

oh so the msrp for eu countries is 880€

yeah so I won't ever get it at any lower than this 💀

[stark kiln]

Guys is a Thermaltake smart 500/600w PSU enough for RTX 2080S?

[plain cypress]

Isn't smart the splody one

[stark kiln]

Like KSAS?

[wheat torrent]

I failed to realize that the msrp will never be achived in EU

due to import taxes

[stark kiln]

So if not what's another PSU that you can recommend

[livid fern]

Especially Og one yes

[stark kiln]

Is segotep a good manufacturer?

[livid fern]

what model

GM is pure ass:)
GN is better but we cant still recommend it due we dont have discrete data on it . Only internal shots

[wheat torrent]

yeah ill just buy the 5070 ti

[stark kiln]

GN 650w

[wheat torrent]

I have that also

[wheat torrent]

nvm

mine is the msi 650 bn

[stark kiln]

I think it's good for a 2080S

[random junco]

i have a 2070 super on a 450w

[wheat torrent]

3070 on 650w

[stark kiln]

Damn, so I should get a 500w PSU?

[random junco]

get as much as you can afford, i regret only getting 450

i should NOT be using my 2070s on a 450

[stark kiln]

I mean Thermaltake smart is only 40$ but from what I heard it's like a bomb strap for your PC

[wheat torrent]

I had a gamemax before

[random junco]

those are tier e and f so uhh yeah avoid those

[wheat torrent]

it doesnt get worse than that

[stark kiln]

What tier is this?

[wheat torrent]

actually

[livid fern]

We tiered it E currently

[wheat torrent]

top page in my local store

[stark kiln]

So segotep is ass?

[random junco]

its B on the cultist network

[livid fern]

what

[livid fern]

Where

On the spreadsheet there aint none kekw

[random junco]

actually the GN isnt on the website but all other G ones are

[livid fern]

Only forza tit

[random junco]

huh

[livid fern]

The GN is low end LLC/DC-DC but we have no info how it performs due no proper reviews

[livid fern]

Looked at wrong list at first

[stark kiln]

So is the PSU good or no?

[random junco]

its fine

[livid fern]

GN no
Smart no

[stark kiln]

Any good 600~W 50/40$ PSUs then?

[wheat torrent]

damn my 3070 has same performance as the 9070 xt (in blender)

[livid fern]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HMbypg/montech-apx-750-w-80-certified-atx-power-supply-apx-750w

[stark kiln]

You sure it's good?

[azure topaz]

bro he makes the list

[wheat torrent]

the psu list?

[azure topaz]

yes

[wheat torrent]

holy moly huge fan

[stone temple]

Can I spend abit more to get some better features (screen, weight etc) with the same specs https://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/product/_hp-omen-gaming-laptop-16-ap0873nd-16-inch-ryzentm-ai-7-350-32-gb-1-tb-geforce-rtxtm-5070-1886319.html

[livid fern]

It should be better than 9070xt 🙂

[wheat torrent]

7900 xtx on the other hand is quite a bit better

why arent more people buying the 7900 xtx nowadays

[livid fern]

🙂

[livid fern]

9070xt is usually cheaper and better

• FSR4 and less power consumption for Same perf

[wheat torrent]

interesting

ill just get the 5070 ti

I don't think the prices will get much lower, and too much time to wait for the ti super

[livid fern]

5070 ti has a good overclocking potential

[wheat torrent]

my psu wont allow it

[livid fern]

Basically a 5080 then

[livid fern]

Wat psu

[wheat torrent]

r9 7900 with 5070 ti on a msi650 bn

[livid fern]

5070 ti takes like 350w at max oc ah alrighty then yes
Undervolt

[wheat torrent]

yep will undervolt until I can upgrade

actually

fuck it ill just get a 750W one or a 800W when I buy it

I recall be quiet power 12 was pretty decent

be quiet! Power Zone 2 BP007EU (80 platinum)
be quiet! Pure Power 12 M BN344 Gold (80 gold)

same price-

[livid fern]

Power zone is quieter but pp12m performs better

[wheat torrent]

eh I dont care about how quiet it is low key

got headphones always

most of the time I cant even hear my keyboard

Chieftec Polaris PPS-850FC-A3 80+ Gold another option

same price

[livid fern]

Polaris IS worst here

Pure power 12M would be best bet

[limpid dune]

be warned: they're about to switch Blender from OpenGL to Vulkan which should change the performance of things quite a bit

[wheat torrent]

I should just get the gamemax one

this one is just a few bucks more expensive......

150 watts for 30 dollars

[left dove]

I mean that's plenty for a desktop charging station

[wheat torrent]

wdym

[stark kiln]

So guys is the 2070S good for like 200$?

[left dove]

put a buck/boost converter on it, some usb ports, etcetc

[plain cypress]

Ehhh

That's like a bit too much

[left dove]

if it was a 2080ti then $200 is gucci

[livid fern]

1050w ver dosent even get 3.1 cert kekw
On paper should meet ATX 3.0
UK variant
850w

[left dove]

the 70s, more like $140

[plain cypress]

$200 in the US of A or $200 equivalent in mycountryhasshitelectronicsmarket

[left dove]

we live in the same country

[plain cypress]

You weren't the one asking about it peyton

[left dove]

o wait i see you're asking them

I thought you were just making a statement

[plain cypress]

Smh my head

[left dove]

I just woke up from a nap 😭

Brain no worky fully yet

[plain cypress]

I love how they ask a question then apparently leave

[left dove]

asking 10 diff servers

[stark kiln]

My country has a controversial Orange guy 200$

[plain cypress]

Nvm typing again

[limpid dune]

my FX-8350 should be able to outperform a 9950X3D if I just overclock it to around 27.1GHz

[plain cypress]

Aight 2070s $200 in US of A is too much

[limpid dune]

should be easy

[stark kiln]

How much it should be

[left dove]

I'd love to see bulldozer go past 6ghz tbh

[plain cypress]

Closer to $150

[stark kiln]

Damn where do you find these prices???

[azure topaz]

it hits 8.5, it used to be the freq record holder lol

[stark kiln]

Not in eBay

[left dove]

daaamb

I bet that fucker was tanking back 350w+

[limpid dune]

yeah, LN2 Bulldozer can actually go insane

[azure topaz]

my bad, a lil more

[wheat torrent]

Damn interesting so I shouldn't go with 1000 w ver?

[left dove]

absolutely wild

[azure topaz]

its a CPU-z valid, that shit hit 8ghz for about 6 seconds before it didnt have to matter

and under no stress

[plain cypress]

Gotta shop local like marketplace

[stark kiln]

Don't think there's delivery in Brooklyn

[azure topaz]

peak is i think 9120MHz

and thats on a 14900KS

[left dove]

we must find the god bin that can full-load at that speed for over a minute

[limpid dune]

yep, that record was set like last week

[plain cypress]

If you live in middle of bum fuck nowhere, sorry I mean Nebraska, then you may be stuck with ebay

[limpid dune]

2.3V vcore will certainly have no consequences

[plain cypress]

If you live in Brooklyn then Facebook marketplace is absolutely an option

[azure topaz]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/core-i9-14900kf-overclocked-to-9-13-ghz-to-become-the-highest-clocked-cpu-of-all-time-13-mhz-faster-than-the-previous-record-holder

[azure topaz]

less voltage than i would be comfortable with even in a gaming load surprisingly

1.388v

[limpid dune]

it's mildly funny that my FX technically has a higher overclocked base clock than my Ryzen 😭

[stark kiln]

Can't access it as I set my birthdate too young accidentally and I'm to lazy to change it

[left dove]

liquid helium

[wheat torrent]

13 MHz faster...

[plain cypress]

Okay so you're actually 12

[azure topaz]

lHE yeah

[stark kiln]

Nope not that

[left dove]

dude the entire room cheering must've shattered windows blocks around

[azure topaz]

cool thing from skatter bencher

this is from the older record but still cool

[clear canyon]

wowza, python

[wheat torrent]

Wtf is FX-8150 and how did it reach 8ghz

[azure topaz]

its FX

[left dove]

fx-anything is pre ryzen

[plain cypress]

FX could clock

[stark kiln]

Oh they just need my face not id

[clear canyon]

old amd

[azure topaz]

FX always clocked

[stark kiln]

Eh whatever I'm not ugly

[wheat torrent]

so at 8ghz how many cores

[azure topaz]

1 bro

[limpid dune]

liquid nitrogen

[plain cypress]

Half a core technically

2/3 of a core?

[wheat torrent]

So it wouldn't be better than modern 2ghz cpus

[azure topaz]

no because the FPU would just go to that one core enabled in the module

[left dove]

That's not the point ffs

[azure topaz]

its a full core, its just a full core with no HT

[stark kiln]

What if we overclock a Pentium to 6 GHz. Is it even possible

[plain cypress]

Hmmm

[azure topaz]

you are slow if you think the CPU is doing anything at 8ghz

[left dove]

fuckin whitenames

[plain cypress]

I only see black names

[azure topaz]

its the CPU freq record. not a benchmark record. its doing nothing

[wheat torrent]

Alright

[clear canyon]

gross flash bang user

[azure topaz]

it has to sit on the desktop for mere seconds for the screenshot

[plain cypress]

Drag race through and through

[wheat torrent]

I thought it must compute something to reach those numbers

[azure topaz]

the point is not the worlds fastest CPU, its the highest frequency

[plain cypress]

I guess not even a drag race

[azure topaz]

they are different

[limpid dune]

*the recent i9 record was set with 8 cores enabled, actually

[left dove]

nearly 9ghz is wild though for that arch

[wheat torrent]

I didn't know you can just get it to crank up on its own doing nothing

[azure topaz]

with only one at 9ghz

[plain cypress]

It's like a dyno test?

[azure topaz]

because thats the meta because having 1 core only is more stressful than enabling them and clocking only 1

because the OS tries to load the one core

[plain cypress]

Can we use it for HWUB CPU benchmarks to put the X3D glazers in their place

[wheat torrent]

So is this 9ghz on the i9 on all cores?

[azure topaz]

one core

[wheat torrent]

Ah

[azure topaz]

and its still doing nothing

[wheat torrent]

Fair enough

[stark kiln]

Well I hope FBM has good 2080S deals

[wheat torrent]

How do you make it be only on one core

[left dove]

bios

[limpid dune]

the "frequency record" doesn't care how fast the CPU actually does stuff, it just cares what the frequency is. Actual CPU benchmarks like linpack will measure the overall "amount of work being done" and ofc the Threadrippers dominate that

[plain cypress]

285k set a GPU clock record not too long ago

[wheat torrent]

Isn't there a 300 coming soon

[azure topaz]

intel has more than enough world records

[left dove]

There's many things coming soon

[wheat torrent]

Looked like a beasts on paper

[limpid dune]

ngl the ryzen iGPU can hit 3.0GHz easy for a 40% speed boost (I set a raytracing record one one of those 😭)

[wheat torrent]

Intel downcoming

[azure topaz]

i think all gpu records are under intel chips

[plain cypress]

3DMARK loves Intel

[azure topaz]

(this is because 3dmark hates ccds)

[limpid dune]

Intel is a company famous for lying about stuff, idc

[azure topaz]

so is amd lol

8 core fx 8350

[wheat torrent]

When is that b60 coming out

[limpid dune]

whichever company makes worse CPUs is the one that lies. back in 2011, that was AMD

[plain cypress]

It's all leaks and rumors and it's not soon

[left dove]

I remember when I got my 8350 thinking i was hot shit at the time

[wheat torrent]

[azure topaz]

its a pro gpu, you probably wont even be able to buy it

[wheat torrent]

Release the god damn b60

[azure topaz]

ennui had to get a quote and they never emailed him back

[plain cypress]

I was all set to get a FX6300 then I bought Skylake

[left dove]

LUL

[wheat torrent]

I emailed them also

A while ago

[left dove]

rip ennuis dreams

[idle spear]

installing red star os wish me luck

[azure topaz]

whatever perils come with it , you deserve

[wheat torrent]

Why would they make 500 USD GPUs and not release them to the public....

[azure topaz]

its a dual gpu???

[wheat torrent]

I thought pro works by multiplying the price by 10x

[plain cypress]

Wouldn't be surprised to see B60 at $500

[azure topaz]

pro means professional

[wheat torrent]

There is 2 GPUs...

[azure topaz]

meaning for work

[plain cypress]

No bruh

[wheat torrent]

The b60 and the b60 dual

[azure topaz]

oh my bad

[limpid dune]

*this is because 3DMark's CPU benchmark is graded based on FPU throughput and doesn't actually check caches and integer throughput

[plain cypress]

The AIBs can do b60 x2 as they please

[clear canyon]

oooo, floppa made a floppa

[tidal geyser]

m yes aliexpress

[wheat torrent]

Whatever it Is why shouldn't I be able to buy one

[limpid dune]

*the normal B60 is a single GPU. there is *one* maxsun board that is a dual GPU

[azure topaz]

yeah and your parents made a dumbass why do you keep pinging me

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/big-floppa-for-bk-gif-25780630

[azure topaz]

seriously its like 100 times and only me

[distant frigate]

Damn. 37 bpm during sleep

Heart monitor results have come back. Everything seems normal

[plain cypress]

I thought some other OEMs have said they were working on duals

[clear canyon]

my sister may be a dumbass but the pings come via replys

[azure topaz]

you respond with nothing even sort of relating to the topic

and only me

[clear canyon]

no?

its never been "only you"

[azure topaz]

so we admit to the nonsense tho this is fire

[clear canyon]

?

[clear canyon]

what

[wheat torrent]

What's the point of pro GPUs if people cant buy it

You can buy a rtx 6000 pro if you have the money

How is the b60 any different

[azure topaz]

i thought the only thing that made the b60 dual any special is that its 2 b580s on a board, what makes the b60 any good? is it just more vram over a b580?

[limpid dune]

B60 is actually reasonably affordable

[clear canyon]

they arent gaming gpus, they made for professional workloads

[wheat torrent]

So whats the issue with that

[limpid dune]

B60 has 24GB VRAM, the dual B60 therefore is 2x24GB

[wheat torrent]

Different needs for different users

[azure topaz]

ah okay so yeah its just vram

[plain cypress]

Reach out to a distributor and tell them you need 200

[azure topaz]

i was mistaken and thought the increase of vram only came cause it was 2 gpus on board

[limpid dune]

B60 is the same clocks and gaming performance of the B580 IIRC

[azure topaz]

this makes more sense then

yeah cause its the same core

[plain cypress]

B60 dual just 2 b60 on single pcb

[azure topaz]

yea

[limpid dune]

oh and the B60 dual therefore has two intel encoding engines which is pretty sweet

[plain cypress]

Requires PCIe bifurcation and everything

[azure topaz]

yeah cause no pcie switch or whatever

[clear canyon]

but its coool

[azure topaz]

can you triple SLI it if you have an intel cpu?

[clear canyon]

no

[plain cypress]

Yeah it's the simplest way of doing it

[azure topaz]

and smartest nowadays, because almost everything even consumer has pcie bifur

[plain cypress]

Idk how the power works. Does each GPU get its own power connector or is the power shared for the whole card

[clear canyon]

they work independently on the duel gpu

[limpid dune]

one big power plug for the whole card, but each GPU has its own VRMs

[clear canyon]

shared power, same board

[azure topaz]

intel has a feature where you can combine encoders iirc

[wheat torrent]

Its a 24 vram GPU with Okayish compute for 500 bucks

[plain cypress]

Naw hyper encode is kill

[azure topaz]

oh my bad

[plain cypress]

It works pre battlemage

[azure topaz]

this is racist why would they do this to me

okay give me 4 a580s and a 13900ks

[limpid dune]

np then, I'll just get fifty A310s

[azure topaz]

literally

can i have 5 sli encoders

[clear canyon]

why?

[limpid dune]

transcoding videos of AI GF

[azure topaz]

yes true

[azure topaz]

y give up support? any reason or just no care

[clear canyon]

[wheat torrent]

Senao

[plain cypress]

I think it only worked GPU + iGPU?

[clear canyon]

[azure topaz]

augh thats stupid

[plain cypress]

Idk I never own 2 alchemist cards sooo

[wheat torrent]

Has anyone built a mini-PC inside a gpu

[idle spear]

Can’t wait to be free of spyware from windows

[azure topaz]

i thought it was just multi amd gpu but that kinda makes sense

[clear canyon]

[azure topaz]

youre on windows 7, theres no spyware

[tired bear]

nvidia has mini pc inside a network card

[azure topaz]

maybe windows 8

[wheat torrent]

Mini PC inside GPU housing

For shits and giggles

[clear canyon]

thats dumb

[idle spear]

Windows 11 with a ton of slop lol like windows blinds lol

[azure topaz]

melanox our beloved

[idle spear]

But red star os will be 100x more secure

[wheat torrent]

I mean there are people who built mini PC inside whatever

[idle spear]

I’ve seen people having issues with red star not running off of the ssd and only wanting to use the usb drive

[tired bear]

i wonder when will NVIDIA release rack mounted gpus that you just network together with infiniband

[wheat torrent]

You want to get rid of spyware and you went with the worst Linux distro for that

[idle spear]

Lies

North Korea would never spy

[wheat torrent]

Make sure to read and click all the checkboxes

[idle spear]

I trust Kim with my life

[wheat torrent]

Idk if Ubuntu team removed that shit but or not but oh well

[wheat torrent]

I'm talking about ubuntu

[idle spear]

Hmm

[tired bear]

ah yes shame the new user

[wheat torrent]

True

[azure topaz]

well this new user is clearly very interested in the bit

[wheat torrent]

I used manjaro for a few years but I heard now they had their own controversy

[tidal geyser]

uh

[wheat torrent]

Glory to aur

[tidal geyser]

sorry to say it but everything has

[bronze summit]

You guys have any wifi adapter suggestions?

[wheat torrent]

Arch the way to go IMO

If you don't want to do the "overly exaggerated" hassle of installing arch you just use an arch based distro and move with your day

For most normal users whatever distro you use will have literally no difference except some terminal commands being different

[tired bear]

fuck that, install debian on everything

[azure topaz]

i agree

[wheat torrent]

But the aur packages makes a big difference for most users in my humble opinion

[limpid dune]

aur and apt are the best repos by miles

[tired bear]

no one gives 2 shits, apt-get life

[azure topaz]

apt-get a.girlfriend

need sudo for that tho

and ur not in the sudoers file

[wheat torrent]

when I was using linux daily there were quite a few packages I found on AUR that came in clutch

[clear canyon]

error: requires elevated perms

[wheat torrent]

I can't remember what it was exactly but it was some windows only apps or something like that

[tired bear]

user is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.

[azure topaz]

LOL

[wheat torrent]

talking of linux

I recently installed WSL for my uncle, did anyone ever try running linux apps on windows?

[tired bear]

you forgot one thing

[wheat torrent]

I only needed to run some linux commands but thats about it

[wheat torrent]

I totally forgot about their linux app emulation

[clear canyon]

why am I blocked 🙁

[wheat torrent]

this is so cursed

[latent gull]

No that’s Spanish

[wheat torrent]

lowkey dolphin file explorer was quite a bit better than the shitfest we have in windows

but maybe I am misremembering

[tidal geyser]

so yes

[stark kiln]

Found a 2080 for 150$

[latent gull]

That would be Latin

[clear canyon]

not a bad deal ngl

[upbeat cove]

i think anything is

[wheat torrent]

I hate how you can't fully change file explorers in windows

it's hard coded

[tired bear]

you can use powershell instead

[wheat torrent]

all third party ones have to go through workarounds that are not 100% working

then you have the open file context menu that you can't change

I hate it

[prisma steeple]

hi

[limpid dune]

I tried Bazzite but RPM is small and immutable is just too glitchy
