[haughty compass]

👍

[latent gull]

imagine not having a little arrow

smh

[grizzled frost]

i didn't actually pay for it, the prebuilt manufacturer did

[carmine yew]

imagine not being able to spot physical keys 😛

[random junco]

wonderful

[random gyro]

sick

what are you gonna use in the lga 1700

the 14900ks

[random junco]

whats the best linux os? im consider to switch from windows

[random gyro]

or the 14th gen i3

[random gyro]

ubuntu for beginners

[latent gull]

no comment

[random junco]

im asking the bot

[random gyro]

arch linux and kali for total control

kali is to hack my school wifi 🛜

[carmine yew]

i'm not sure they physical keys help there lol

there may be a different issue

[latent gull]

neither did the arrow :P

[lean flame]

Bring back physical PC media in the form of USB Drives that cannot be copied or overwritten and act as physical games for those who like the idea of having something tangible they can hold.

[carmine yew]

bring back media on the least-reliable media ever? really?

[latent gull]

and one of the easiest to lose. and hardest to label.

i feel like cartridges were peak

[sleek ibex]

I'm sorry I just had to

[carmine yew]

okay, second or third least reliable:

uSD and SmartMedia were both garbo for reliability

[latent gull]

the little nintendo cartridges, DS/3ds era

[lean flame]

ok what do you suggest?

[carmine yew]

physical media is dead. let it die.

[latent gull]

no

i like being able to lend friends games

[carmine yew]

steam family

[random gyro]

for it is that zorin os but for everyone it can be different I also don't know what you consider important to use on your PC LINIX linux gives us plenty to choose from

[lean flame]

No. i want something i can hold, somehing i can trade with a friend. something i can display on a bookcase.

[latent gull]

oh yeah for computer games i use steam, obviously, but for little console games, na, gimme my cartridge.

i own a physical and digital hollow night for example

[carmine yew]

then expect the pricetag to go up 10-20 bucks vs digital

[latent gull]

as if digital isnt ALSO going up

[random junco]

hmm, zorin os seems so super cool. how do you spell zorin? i want to download right now

[random gyro]

@random gyro whats ur pc specs

steam os gets sick too

everyone whats ur pc specs

@everyone

[random junco]

about to be 3600 and 5700xt, 32gb (i had 5600x, 2070 super, 16gb)

[random gyro]

Mine is:
Ryzen 5 7535HS
Radeon 660M iGPU
16GB DDR% 4800MHz RAM
512GB SSD

[random junco]

..yikes

[lean flame]

there's just something about buying a physical release, you pop open that case and take in that new game smell, you flip through the manual and look at all the art and detail that went into the game.

[carmine yew]

it should have gone up, it sucks, but it's true.

But making a 15-20$ media cart for the game will add significant cost they won't eat

[latent gull]

ddr%

[sleek ibex]

[random gyro]

i am greatful tho

[random junco]

@random gyro pls how to spell zorin

[random gyro]

its really fast

[idle spear]

What os should I put in my thinkpad t430

[random junco]

what do u use it for

[gleaming rose]

probably Debian live iso

[random gyro]

https://zorin.com/os/

[random junco]

im trolling the bot

[random gyro]

good luck bro

[gleaming rose]

don't bother with zorin imo

[lean flame]

linux mint

[random junco]

wow thanks. do i click the link? or will it instantly download on my screen without me pressing it

[sleek ibex]

Anything Ubuntu/Debian based is a fine choice TBH

[gleaming rose]

I would avoid ubuntu

[idle spear]

Would red star os be fine

[latent gull]

dont get me wrong, im not against this. however, getting rid of physical altogether for stuff like a switch which CAN use physical cartridges for most of the games is bad and i will die on that hill. theyre not doing it to save on expenses, clearly, theyre doing it to be anticonsumer. now, on the other hand, the way playstation did it i agree with. some models of console having a drive and some not, what i DONT agree with, is that the console and disk drive together costs more than the original console which had it built in on all models.

[carmine yew]

problem is with disk media:
How many DVDs is Battlefield 6?

[lean flame]

better thought: games don't need to be this detailed. you cand do more with less.

[carmine yew]

good luck with that thought lol

[latent gull]

thats why i specified for games that CAN use it

[lean flame]

eh psychonauts is a game that did more with less and it often gets the title of greatest game you've never played.

[latent gull]

therein lies the problem, often getting the title of something youve never played, because it wasnt played

[carmine yew]

some games work that way, others absolutely do not

[sand epoch]

is the wooting 60he+ like the rtx 5090? expensive but theres nothing better?

[carmine yew]

keyboards are all opinion, there is no "best"

[sleek ibex]

Switches on keebs are very personal preference

[gleaming rose]

apple magic keyboards rock imo, what matters is what you like

this vexes me

[carmine yew]

you vexes me

[sleek ibex]

Aren't we all a bit vexed?

[carmine yew]

that's backwards from design

[cosmic idol]

That’s… no

[carmine yew]

design is meant to be front to back

[random junco]

air is going in the wrong direction rn

[carmine yew]

air goes in the front, and out the back

[cosmic idol]

Front two are intake
Rear is exhaust

That is how basically all cases are designed

That is why there is mesh at the front usually and not the back lol

The side with two fans
Suck air INTO case
That is the front.

“Closer two” is front

[latent gull]

Make the skull bigger then probably

[cosmic idol]

Idk if you’re building this pc or not
But if you can’t differentiate between the front and rear of a pc case then you probably shouldn’t be building a computer

[grizzled frost]

people should learn from mistakes

[cosmic idol]

Yes
But they also need to have a base knowledge

Because without that, you just break stuff and it’s a pain in the ass

[sleek ibex]

History helps us learn from our mistakes, as to not repeat them

[sleek ibex]

But.... Sadly most of the time world leaders are not capable of this concept

[random gyro]

im gonna install windows in this usb

[cosmic idol]

With the usb or onto the usb

Ok

[random gyro]

onto

BYE

[cosmic idol]

@fading furnace id recommend you go watch a couple YouTube videos. There’s a couple really solid ones that give you like every step on how to build a pc

[random junco]

NOOOB

[cosmic idol]

I ain’t reading all that

Also why are you just spamming reactions to your own message

[random junco]

normally the grill side has the air coming from behind

[random gyro]

this is my homemade malware

[cosmic idol]

There’s arrows on the side of the fan

And usually stickers are a good indicator. If it’s some nonspecific logo, that’s usually the intake side from memory??

Which fan

“It was fun hanging out in this Linux group for a bit, but it’s really not for me. I was sharing my enthusiastic story about Zorin OS, but while some people were cool, a few acted like kids and even called me a bot.

You can’t really get five in a row like that anyway 😅

Maybe it’ll help someone, though. I know there are also other well-known places where lots of people go.

There are always some people who feel the need to stir things up.

I had a good time with the nice folks here, but I think I’ll be heading out again.

Despite that, I still wish you all the best, even if you’re a little troublemaker. GOD love you ✝️

Please stop internet trolling.

nearly 4am for me lmfao... not much for me to do

[snow bloom]

this bastard was missing completely, i uninstalled the whole pcie card from device manager, found the latest drivers i could find, yet it still was missing alongbluetooth toggle being missing from the pup menu where wifi and hotspot usually is, foricng me to buy a new adapter AND NOW it magically reappered whilecomplaining about the new adapter???

what the fuck

[tardy scarab]

Hey guys might get roasted for this but has anyone used nvidia automatic tuning on their GPU yet

[random gyro]

my usb is now as hot as my pc when i run minecraft with ray tracing on

[random junco]

ur running mc with rtx on a usb? 😭

[random gyro]

no running minecraft rtx on my laptop

not usb

[random junco]

phew

[cosmic idol]

I wonder if the usb is gonna light up nicely too

[random junco]

that shi was about to explode

[random gyro]

the worst part is im running windows insider canary

canary

[tardy scarab]

Well boys imma see if this works

It’s on a 4060ti 16GB so not hoping for much performance but I think it’ll be something at least

[random junco]

how does this not bother you

[cosmic idol]

Hot take
16gb on the 4060ti kinda useless
Like does it even saturate that much vram??

[random junco]

doesnt even need 12 🙏
nvidia giving vram to the wrong gpus

[tardy scarab]

Hey man I got this one for free ripped it out of an E waste computer

[cosmic idol]

Which is weird
Cos why do people complain about its vram if it can barely handle more

[plush egret]

okay, if anyone wants to give an opinion

[random junco]

...you got a 4060 ti for free?

[tardy scarab]

Yep

[random junco]

sigh

[plush egret]

I want to build a crazy 4K pc all white and ideally with waifu elements.

around 5k budget and yes this is real

[random junco]

cant even get a gt 710 for free in the uk

[tardy scarab]

I’m in US we have e waste out the butt

[random junco]

interesting

[random gyro]

i finished my build

great build

[plush egret]

this is my present to myself now that I started my true high income job and getting my doctorate

[tardy scarab]

I went from a RTX 2070 to a 4060ti I call that an upgrade

[random junco]

nicee congrats!

[plush egret]

thank you!

[random junco]

im about to go from an rtx 2070 to an rx 5700xt

[tardy scarab]

Be for the 2070 I had an AMD r9 390x

I still miss my 1080ti tho

[random junco]

oh wow. i was slightly more luckier with the rx 570 then

[cosmic idol]

Congrats !!

[plush egret]

thanks!

[tardy scarab]

I’m running a slightly older gen setup I’m still on am4 for my mobo but I have a r7 5800xt

[hexed tapir]

8 or 16gb 4060ti

[cosmic idol]

I had gtx 970 -> rtx 2060 -> rtx 4060ti

[tardy scarab]

16

[hexed tapir]

Why downgrade from 1080ti to a rtx 2070

[random junco]

dlss

[tardy scarab]

I gave it to my best friend when his rx570 died

[random junco]

gtx 670m -> rx 570 -> rtx 2070 super -> rx 5700xt -> hopefully intel arc b570 soon

[cosmic idol]

My sister is going from 0 -> gtx 1650 super

[random junco]

dayum

[cosmic idol]

Birthday present 😔

[tardy scarab]

The 1650 is ight as long as you don’t play something needing heavy VRAM

[cosmic idol]

She’s young
She could make do with an intel igpu

[tardy scarab]

I was reading some forums saying that this automatic tuning feature may help but it will make the room hot asf

If I end up going to am5 in the next few years I’m probably gonna get a 5080

[hexed tapir]

A fellow 5700xt user! I too am waiting on a worthy upgrade

[tardy scarab]

My setup is mostly scrapyard and marketplace parts

Does the trick tho

Yes that’s an HDD

but there’s an SSD on the mobo

[vagrant fulcrum]

is nzxt kraken aio good? Going with that over the arctic cuz of the screen. cooling 9800x3d will this suffice? 280mm

[tardy scarab]

It’s okay I would say it’s the best I have the kraken 360 it does okay for my r7 5800XT

[random junco]

cards on the way! how do you feel about the 5700xt

[hexed tapir]

It's an old copy paste asetek cooler

[vagrant fulcrum]

what should i get then can anyone help, should i just do the arctic? I n eed a 280mm

[snow bloom]

i went from gefore mx130 to rtx 2060 to rx 7600 (current)

my first ever gpu was something else, a circular cooler singke fan old thing with red pcb, first ever cpu was an amd athlon II, then i went to i7 8550u to ryzen 5 3600 to ryzen 5 7600x (current)

[hexed tapir]

It's decent and reliable I got over 120 fps in BF6 at 1080p with my Ryzen 7 5700x3d

[hexed tapir]

Arctic has one of the best coolers on the market

[tardy scarab]

A fellow AM4 user glad I’m not the only one

[random junco]

same

im only gonna migrate to am5 when am6 comes out lol

[hexed tapir]

Started with a R5 3600 back when it was new

[random junco]

my 3600 is also on its way

[tardy scarab]

I had a 4600g for awhile when I didn’t have a GPU

[random junco]

yikes

[tardy scarab]

Thanks to the pandemic I couldn’t get one

I was on Xbox one before

[hexed tapir]

I could've sold my used 5700xt I bought for $430 for over $1,000 during the pandemic

[tardy scarab]

Anything is an upgrade when it comes to consoles tbh

I like not having to buy a new console for 700 every year

[hexed tapir]

You didn't like paying a monthly fee for playing games online?!

[tardy scarab]

🤮

Screw Xbox and PSN after 2012 it was a joke

[molten patrol]

@tidal geyser ik u gonna hate it but what if i say i saw a royale pretor selling for 46bucks 🙂

[tardy scarab]

Plus PC games have native resolution unlike consoles

Xbox VCR box

I absolutely despise consoles now

I cleaned my Msi CR600 again

the "colour film print technology" is cool, but the second you even dare to touch it...

you have to clean it again

it's there in what would be the top right

[shy olive]

Guys is 20$ enough for a gaming mouse

Or should I just jump off

[sharp ivy]

I got a good one for $5CAD

it depends on which one you get

[shy olive]

Can you send it to me

[shy olive]

I’m gonna get a normal mechanical one

[sharp ivy]

I don't have the link anymore sorry

[shy olive]

Just a picture to get a good idea on what not to get

[random gyro]

HOLY SH

[shy olive]

Yeah bro just throw it

it’s not gonna work anymore

That’s more bent than my back

[tardy scarab]

Ok guys got some result for the 4060ti 16GB on auto overclock I got a 200point increase on speedway on 3dmark not bad

[shy olive]

Why don’t you put the mousepad all on ur mouse space, I feel like just a tiny bit would help in clutch scenarios.

That’s just a biased opinion from a biased guy so don’t take it seriously

[tardy scarab]

Never mind my computer just blue screened

[quasi moat]

the little black mouse pad is covering a choc ice cream stain

Fair enough unbiased guy

[pale flint]

[pale flint]

what kind of gaming mouse is that sir?

[stark kiln]

Low-key wouldn't it be easier to pair a 1060 a PSU to my laptop?

[stark kiln]

(I'm not gonna do it but it would be funny)

[pale flint]

bro what

nah

tho there are external gpu's for laptops i guess

[quaint mesa]

whats the best way to optimize my pc for fps games?

[knotty iris]

Bro what

Rip lga socket

[stark kiln]

My hd620 so ass I tried to lossless scale. It gets 1 sec input lag in Minecraft

[knotty iris]

I cant complain about my 980ti people really out here running hd620 igpu

Unless your running a laptop just get a used gpu

[knotty iris]

Ah I see

Apologies for not reading up

I mean its possible but egpu docks are like a arm and a leg

Just not worth it to connect a 1060 imo

[swift moss]

LMFAO

bro exiled himself

i exiled myself to france last year for a month too

[sharp ivy]

1060 is great, but I don't want to rip mine out of my gaming rig so I'm gonna use my RX 560 instead

[pale flint]

pcie?

i assume its faster than usb

[random gyro]

is there a wifi adapter but plugged in on the ethernet?

e

[knotty iris]

Wdym

Im assuming you mean like a ethernet pcie card

[snow fractal]

Generally no, as it would require PoE which is not something most motherboards do

[knotty iris]

Ahh I see what he meant now

[knotty iris]

Pcie poe adapter does exist but would defeat the purpose if instead they just bought a wifi card

[snow fractal]

Theoretically the use case is more if you have no more PCIe slots left, or would rather no faff about in the internals and would just want a simple solution, but that's why USB adapters exist

[hearty shale]

whats up guys

[snow fractal]

Oh no

[hearty shale]

what??

[snow fractal]

Nothin

[hearty shale]

u hate me

[snow fractal]

Naaaaah

[hearty shale]

you do

[snow fractal]

Ouch, why not?

I imagine you would be able to find a cheap-ish H610 or B660 motherboard running DDR4

[hearty shale]

i think i made a mistake..

[hearty shale]

i spent like 1.5k on a pc even tho i was supposed to save my money

oh dang

my pc hasn't arrived yet

well thats not to bad

[snow fractal]

I would say that it just depends on how bothered you are for performance, if you're fine with what you have, then that's fine, but even just the difference between the i5-10505 and the i5-13600KF is quite massive, even with a cheapo mobo with the same memory

[hearty shale]

im at school and i need to do my work but i dont wanna

[snow fractal]

That's already what you would end up having currently

[hearty shale]

bro my school laptop got a random black screen twice

:/

i know but its annoying

i also got a dell but im not using it currently

the dell laptop we got has 4gb of ram and 3gb is in use all the time

dang

i wanna start twitch streaming

do you guys think that 32gb is enough if i wanna stream for example gta5

[snow fractal]

It'll be just fine

[hearty shale]

okay

i bought kingston fury 32gb ddr5

[snow fractal]

Memory doesn't matter too much for streaming, more than anything it's just having a stable internet connection and an actual GPU to encode it all

[hearty shale]

i bought rx 9060xt and my motherboard has wifi6e i think

[snow fractal]

That sounds like a bad GPU honestly

[hearty shale]

3070 or rx 9060xt?

[snow fractal]

The overheating 3070 xD

[hearty shale]

Ohhh

what cpu u have?

[snow fractal]

Tobys got an i5-10505

Having it and it not being used isn't really having it :D

[hearty shale]

should i buy parts from newegg?

me too but there are so few actual pc stores in my country

the store i bought my pc from is 2 hour drive away

[snow fractal]

Yeah Europe in general doesn't really have something like MicroCenter

[hearty shale]

or walmart 😄

[knotty iris]

Hope your not touching it

[hearty shale]

dang. not bad looking. Hmuch vram?

[knotty iris]

It clearly says dont touch

[hearty shale]

yeah..

gddr6?

alright

i waned to buy 5060ti with 16gb of gddr7 but it was little over my budget

yeah

i saved around 40 bucks by buying 9060xt instead of 5060ti

[snow fractal]

I wonder why

[hearty shale]

Lol. I waned to go green but i went red

[knotty iris]

Mw was optimized for cards in 2019 and b06 is made to run on 2024 cards

Atleast the max graphics should bec

[snow fractal]

I mean not really, if there was no more driver support for the 3070 then yeah, that can be the case, but it's still a relatively newish card

[hearty shale]

And you do streaming on that?

[knotty iris]

Not what I meant 3070 will run great because its a good card especially for a game that came out in 2019 however newer games have adapted max graphics to more powerful cards therefore making it seem weaker in newer games

[hearty shale]

I was like wtf 😂😂

[knotty iris]

[hearty shale]

I tried streaming once but my obs just said "yeah uhh.. fuck you dude im gonna blur your whole fucking screen and there is absolutely nothing u can do about it"

I5 doesn't sound too bad

250w is plenty

and modern cards eat like half of that

you do you Im just sayin a 1080ti isnt a “dream” gpu anymore

I’d just retire it as a display card

[snow fractal]

What would be fun is quad Titans as a space heater

[lost lance]

5070 eats 250

[sinful cobalt]

5090D XOC 2000w bios;

[sinful cobalt]

while having x2 the performance

[lost lance]

most modern cards eat through power

[sinful cobalt]

I said in today’s standards lmao

[lost lance]

2x the performance for a extra gig of ram 💔

im saying its still a beast of a card for 1080p e sports high fps

[sinful cobalt]

you can say a 5090 eats 2.4x the power but it runs laps around the 1080ti being 450% faster

[lost lance]

$2k btw

[sinful cobalt]

where again a 3060 12gb achieves similar performance with less power, and still having driver support

[sinful cobalt]

so ur one of those yapping complainers when it comes to tech

[hearty shale]

my girlfriend waned to tell about her dream and she has been typing one message for 30 minutes

[snow fractal]

You're boned bro, you cheated on her in her dream

[lost lance]

im saying i could find a 1080ti for 150 and use it just fine for games that i want to play sure the 3060 is the better power effienct one and got driver support but its 250 still on most places

[hearty shale]

she said its a good dream tho

[sinful cobalt]

where the fuck are you finding 3060s for $250 in the US (im not from the US)

[snow fractal]

Mby she's into it...

[hearty shale]

OH HELL NAW THATS FUCKED UP

[lost lance]

theyre 230 now on eaby

[hearty shale]

girlfriends?

for 230?

[lost lance]

at that price, you're better off getting a 6700xt, those go for 200-250 instead

<@&750150305383186585> shitpost

[hearty shale]

bro.. she has been typing 1 message for 1 and a half hours..

[cosmic idol]

hmmmmmmm
I might
might might. get a 9070xt.
maybe.

it's tempting, it's in just the right price spot for me honestly, outperforms the 5070 by a decent bit while not being too expensive, but isn't as expensive as a 5070ti

or idk, if it happens, maybe I get 5070 super

[azure topaz]

i think the difference between the two is minor enough price wise to buy a 70ti

here in the states it’s 50$ so it’s probably like 100-120$ for you

[cosmic idol]

more like 170aud (so like 110usd) difference 😔

actually not that much

hmmm. I almost just wanna wait for the super, just for the extra 2gb vram 😋
*obviously still speculated

hmmmmmmmmmm

idk how heavily my 5600 is gonna kneecap it
probably not that much I would think, considering im at 1440p rn

[shadow palm]

Will a 600w psu enough to carry ryzen 5 7500f and rtx 3070 for a period?

Since i dont have money to buy a 750w psu right now

[snow fractal]

You should be fine

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[shadow palm]

Thanks

[supple mist]

does ups wattage matter when i use it mainly for surge protection?

[snow fractal]

To some degree yes, as if you have a 600w PSU, and your UPS might only do 100w it'll still suck as a surge protector.
Best case would be to have a UPS which can do the same wattage as your PSU, as even though it won't need all of it, it'll still power your monitor as well

[pale flint]

hmmm

[rigid fjord]

it'll work, but what psu do you have exactly?

[shadow palm]

Cooler Master PC600

[tidal geyser]

no

replace

[shadow palm]

I took this one from my previous build that’s like 6 years old or so

[shadow palm]

I’ll replace it in like a few months, budget’s tight right now after all the other parts

[tidal geyser]

you do know if the psu dies it can kill the rest of the parts

[steel umbra]

lies, it can catch fire and burn down your house if you have a carpet next to your pc

[tidal geyser]

why carpet

just needs something flammable

[shadow palm]

Some houses just have them for comfort

[steel umbra]

gasoline next to your pc

[midnight rampart]

Is it safe to run 3 sticks of ram?
Or just run 2

[steel umbra]

3 sticks isn’t recommended

either run 2 for the best performance or 4 if you want to run like 128gb+ as of ddr5

[snow fractal]

You can run 3, it is "safe" in terms of it won't mess anything up, but it'll run at slower speeds and might be a bit unstable

[rigid fjord]

some houses are just flammable from the get go

[midnight rampart]

Yea that's what my friend is facing
And he doesn't want to believe me...
I told him to use only 2, but he thinks more ram more fps (he doesn't even edit to use everything.)

[rigid fjord]

3 sticks = cpu's imc running in flex/hybrid mode

[snow fractal]

More ram is almost never more FPS, with 3 sticks he'll basically be losing performance

[midnight rampart]

It's a 5600G

[rigid fjord]

similar to when you mix different capacity rams

[midnight rampart]

Already is, and I tried enabling Xmp for him but he thinks it's black magic.

[rigid fjord]

meaning dual channel only

[midnight rampart]

Expo*

[midnight rampart]

Okay so 5600G never runs quad channel, gotcha.

[rigid fjord]

xmp/docp due to it being am4 not am5

[midnight rampart]

Alright understood

[rigid fjord]

no comsumer cpu will do quad channel even if there's 4 ram slots

[midnight rampart]

Oh alright.

[limpid dune]

ideally, you wanna have two identical sticks of RAM, arranged like how your motherboard manual says (usually in the 2nd and 4th slot).

if you use non-identical sticks of RAM but they're the same capacity, the CPU will choose whatever frequency both sticks can agree on, which might be quite small

if you use different capacity sticks, or use three sticks, or otherwise imbalance the two channels, the memory will be unevenly read, which will significantly decrease performance. Eg. if you have an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick, the 8GB will have a long queue of requests piling up while the 4GB stick is only operating at half the data rate (usually()

[midnight rampart]

I think all 3 ram are random for his, but I could see 2 of them having same timings and frequency (just different manufacturer)

[rigid fjord]

they won't be the same exact timings

[midnight rampart]

There were Cl16-20-20 on 2

And 3200mts

[limpid dune]

just because it says so on the sticker doesn't mean that's what it's running at. Use CPU-Z to see what the CPU is actually doing

[midnight rampart]

Anyways, not like it's me losing performance imma keep it as it is.

[rigid fjord]

that's just the primary timings, secondary and tertiary timings will differ

[rigid fjord]

hwinfo also

[midnight rampart]

Hey, just for knowledge can you tell me secondary and tertiary timings meaning?

[limpid dune]

"timings" are a big table of numbers that define the agreed-upon speeds that the CPU will operate the RAM at (see the screenshot for an example). The "primary" timings are the first four you see there (CL16-20-20 and then a fourth), they're called that because they're the most important. The other ones are mostly about less important things, but they do still matter

[midnight rampart]

Oh, wow.

[limpid dune]

we could go on for ages about timings, but in general, frequency isn't everything when it comes to RAM. your RAM stick will contain a bunch of those timings tables inside it, which will help the CPU decide on which one to use. If you mix RAM sticks, the CPU will pick the best table that both sticks agree on, which might not be the best.

[rigid fjord]

primary timings are what's always shown on the ram, i.e 16-18-18,
secondary timings are more like 4-6-4-8-256
tertiary timings go more like 8-4-4-6-1-3 etc

[midnight rampart]

Should I always buy a 16*2 kit or 2 16 is also fine?
Cause I didn't get ykit hence bought singles

For my xpg

[rigid fjord]

2x 16gb kit, no suck thing as 16x 2gb

@limpid dune btw hwinfo is better at showing what the ram is doing compared to cpu-z

[limpid dune]

oh fr? cool

[limpid dune]

any CPU that is using AM4/5 or any modern Intel socket that begins with 1XXX use dual channel memory. 2x16GB is an excellent choice

[wheat torrent]

Do I buy 5070 ti or wait for 5070 ti super idk how long I am gonna wait

[midnight rampart]

Does it suck if I didn't buy kit?
And maybe lost performance? (My xpg ram at Xmp though, no issues so far.)

[rigid fjord]

summary page, top box tells you what it's actually doing, meanwhile bottom box tells you the profiles the ram can do @limpid dune

[wheat torrent]

5080 prices seem outrageous

Actually nvm I remember that with oc 5070 ti is on par with 5080

[rigid fjord]

on ddr4 it definitely can suck, you could end up with lost performance or unstable system

[serene python]

ugh i hate how modern games barely function on HDDs all to load ridiculously big assets

[limpid dune]

if you're on an overclockable CPU mobo, you can always manually set the timings and completely ignore the kit's rated speed >:).

I actually have a mixed kit on my NAS, but I made sure that all of the channels are balanced and I wrote my own timings table so it works fine

[rigid fjord]

some suck on ssd's also for that reason

[rigid fjord]

overclockable mobo*

[wheat torrent]

Once a GPU gets released how much time it takes for you to be able to buy it worldwide

On avg

[limpid dune]

but be advised: RAM overclocking is pretty weird and challengign

[rigid fjord]

depends on stock, but with nvidia, it's never that long

[wheat torrent]

Hmmm

[rigid fjord]

cpu overclocking is more challenging tbh

[wheat torrent]

IDk what to do

5070 ti super seems to be big if true

But I think everyone will buy them

[limpid dune]

4080 Super FTW 🔥

[wheat torrent]

I wish I could buy a 4090

[rigid fjord]

i would look at what's in stock vs what you'd pay at max, but then i'm more likely to go amd due to them always having more stock

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't

[wheat torrent]

I can buy 5070 ti at good price imo

That's pretty much my only good option

5070 or 5070 ti

5080 is ridiculously overpriced

[rigid fjord]

9070xt vs 5070ti are the better option

[wheat torrent]

I need NVIDIA

For prooooductiviy

And performs mediocre

The 7900 XTX looks very good on paper, similar to 5070 ti

But in reality it underperforms

Pretty sure it uses a shit ton of power also

[rigid fjord]

a good chunk yeah, psu recommended for it is a 850w

[wheat torrent]

I really wanted the 7900 xtx

Specs wise perfect for me

@rigid fjord The 5070 ti super would be ~1300-1400 USD I assume

[rigid fjord]

quite possible

[wheat torrent]

Hmmm

But better than 5080 by quite a bit

• 24gb vram

Tough shit

It looks like 5070 ti best value rn

[rigid fjord]

more vram doesn't mean better

[wheat torrent]

True

[rigid fjord]

gotta look at it's bus bit

[wheat torrent]

5070 ti has like

+128 I think than the 5070

Quite good

Same bandwidth as 3090

I just sold my camera for 800 bucks

I made like 7000 photos in 3-4 years

Was unused really

So I got a 800 USD discount

But even then my options aren't that great

5080 is dogshit and 5090 costs a kidney

[rigid fjord]

3 kidney's

[wheat torrent]

I would need another 2.1k USD holy shit

God damn I thought it's like 2k USD, not nearly 3k

Is there any way the 5080 is better than 5070

[random gyro]

if you oc

[limpid dune]

I overclocked my 4080 Super and got it onto the podium... of the 5080 benchmarks

that's how close they are

[sinful cobalt]

the only justification to a 5080 would be if ur a video editer

[wheat torrent]

How so?

[sinful cobalt]

it has 2 video decoders/encoders iirc

[hearty shale]

Should i sell my camera?

[sinful cobalt]

5070ti-5050 all have 1

only 5080 and 5090 have 2

[wheat torrent]

Lowkey with the 5070 ti - > 5080 price difference I could get a monitor

[rigid fjord]

power limit doesn't mean what it hits during transient spikes, at 450w you're looking at 500w-550w for when transient spikes hit

[upbeat cove]

send a picture

[hearty shale]

i dont know if there are multiple different ones tho

[rigid fjord]

then take a pic of the camera and post it here

[hearty shale]

ill send when i get home from school

i hope thats the camera i have

i would be able to buy a crazy pc if i sell it

[upbeat cove]

would be sick if that's what you have but i doubt it

[placid belfry]

I would not sell it
Just save for a pc

[upbeat cove]

if it is you should sell it and buy gold and hold onto the gold until you're a bit older

[hearty shale]

why no sell? i dont do anything with it

i got it 2 months ago and i havent used it since

[placid belfry]

Do this

[sinful cobalt]

holy yap for another topic

[placid belfry]

When you’re older you’ll want a good camera

[hearty shale]

yeah but not 7000 dollar camera

[upbeat cove]

yeah lol

[hearty shale]

i can get a good enough camera for like max 800

[placid belfry]

Bruh that doesn’t matter and you’re not getting 7k for it

[hearty shale]

i dont need 7k. Ill sell it online 4,5k

[upbeat cove]

you can get essentially the same quality for $300 if you can forgo the conveniences of mirrorless

[hearty shale]

yeah

[placid belfry]

For 4.5k you can buy yourself 40g of gold and save them for when ww3 hits

[hearty shale]

sounds boring

what do i do with gold when its ww3?

i will propably die in max year when ww3 hits

[upbeat cove]

the dollar is backed by gold and silver so gold will always be worth the same amount. the dollar will lose value

[hearty shale]

cant i just buy stock?

[placid belfry]

You buy bread for forty days because then bread will cost 100$

Or 1gram of gold

Loaf of bread = 1 g gold

[upbeat cove]

yeah but it's a gamble. gold/silver are reliable

[hearty shale]

i would propably kms if ww3 hits

so no point

[upbeat cove]

ww3 was a bad analogy

[placid belfry]

[upbeat cove]

the point is that the dollar loses value over time and gold doesn't

[rigid fjord]

you do realise, other metals will become more valuable than gold for that, so no piss poor advice

[placid belfry]

There won’t be other meals
It’s tough times
Bread and water that’s it

isnt there ways to invest in stock safely?

no qtips

[midnight rampart]

Oh no q tips!? Why

[rigid fjord]

they can leave fibre bits still

if you need reassurance ive washed a 1080ti with a bidet before

isopropyl dries fast so

[wheat torrent]

@rigid fjord

You said you wouldnt buy a 4090

But I'm looking at the specs and it seems quite a lot better than a 5070 ti

[high elm]

it is

[wheat torrent]

Double the cuda cores and it even boosts higher

Nearly double everything

Slower memory speed, but bigger bus

[solar moat]

you cant look at core count/clock and just them

[solar moat]

is it more or less GB/s

[wheat torrent]

1.01 TB vs 896

[solar moat]

ok and there not same gen so cant realy conpare them in terms of cores/clocks

[wheat torrent]

I could add the difference and buy this used 4090

[tidal geyser]

My GPU Betta, it only do 139mhz

[wheat torrent]

Oh really

Its not the same performance cores

[solar moat]

its not

[tidal geyser]

Some has not heard of ipc

[solar moat]

the 30 cards allmost had 2x the cores

but a 3060ti is slowe then 2080ti even with 3060ti having more cores

[solar moat]

is it fair conparing mty 4790k to a 12100f?

[wheat torrent]

Type shit

[solar moat]

shit?

[viscid helm]

that's too much

[wheat torrent]

So that out of the way

On paper the 4090 looks to just Be bettrr

And im wathching some benchmarks and it is in practice

[solar moat]

fair it is the faster gpu

but you cant realy conpare the cores/clocks outside a gen

[wheat torrent]

So it is a no brainer to choose this over the 5070 ti?

i was thinking of getting a bigger middle monitor but only if I could find a 5k at say 32-34"

[green tendon]

this will be better

[tired tiger]

also it's suprisingly cheap to get 4k 27 inch office monitors that are decent

like these are 200 euros a piece

a good bigger monitor could be at minium 500-600 euro

[green tendon]

what are the refresh rates?

[pale flint]

60

[tired tiger]

60hz

[pale flint]

office monitors

[green tendon]

you can sell them

[pale flint]

she said

make it 120 and price will double

[tired tiger]

not worth selling, to go for an ultrawide or a 5k monitor the price is too much, that would have been used

[green tendon]

60hz suck, sell them and get at least 120hz

[tired tiger]

couldn't drive 120hz on my igpu

[green tendon]

what is the laptop you are using

[tired tiger]

also who needs 120hz for text

framework 12th gen

[green tendon]

okay, i thought it was gaming

[tired tiger]

they are office monitors

most gaming I did was balatro

[pale flint]

60hz is all what some people need

90 is max

above is for gaming only i'd say

[green tendon]

90hz is a beast for phones not PCS

[pale flint]

you can get a gpu for cheap that can handle that

[pale flint]

for most works its ok

i have 165

[tired tiger]

kinda not worth it

[pale flint]

i cant switch to 60

[pale flint]

meh true

[green tendon]

get a radeon gpu on ali express for 80 dollars

[pale flint]

you got proper desktop?

[tired tiger]

no desktop pc

[pale flint]

for gaming?

[pale flint]

laptop?

[true stirrup]

you are way better off going with a used GPU

[ebon marlin]

You can get an used 5700xt for the same price as this

[true stirrup]

580 is like 30-40 bucks

[pale flint]

i agree with these 2 people

[tired tiger]

Framework 12th gen

[pale flint]

sometimes used gpu can be a gamble

[green tendon]

this is the 8gb version not the 4gb

[pale flint]

oh

[true stirrup]

my statement stands

[green tendon]

oh , i forgot that everything in Egypt is overpriced

[elfin owl]

any good laptop sub 500 usd?

[pale flint]

purpose?

[elfin owl]

general browsing and coding

[pale flint]

hmm

need gpu at all?

i assume no?

[elfin owl]

web dev so no

[ebon marlin]

Probably an used macbook air with either an M1 or M2 chip

[green tendon]

Acer Nitro V15 with a 13th-gen i5 and an RTX 2050 will be great for multi-monitor setups

[elfin owl]

1/2 things dont work there

[pale flint]

he needs cpu and ram

[true stirrup]

a laptop ususally comes with that

[tired tiger]

coding

[pale flint]

i mean gpu is not focus here gng

[ebon marlin]

You can run windows stuff on macs/linux

[tired tiger]

sorry I had to go pick something

[pale flint]

yeah my bad

[tired tiger]

literally the most the cpu does is compile

[green tendon]

i have it and it came with 16gb ram

[tired tiger]

compile at home, compile at school

[elfin owl]

i need com capability for arduino and stuff

[pale flint]

nice

[pale flint]

i'd really say going for 32gb ram

for the other guy

[tired tiger]

i wanted to get gpu for ai but realized that collab is much cheaper

[green tendon]

16gb is still a sweet spot

[tired tiger]

that's why I keep saying not worth it

[pale flint]

its good yeah ik

but i'd say its starting point these days

[harsh plinth]

Hi guys, I’m in search of a new m2 ssd, currently have a intel which is 500gb only. I’m going to use the new one for games, maybe some programs while the old one will be primarily for windows and programs. The new ssd needs to be 2TB atleast while costing preferably 90€ (max 100€ if it’s worth it). I live in Germany so preferably buying from German Amazon. I also plan to buy it during the week of 15th September.

[tired tiger]

back to the thing I'm thinking if I should add a third monitor to the setup

[green tendon]

I run 8billion model on my rtx 2050 4gb, and i does the job very well

[pale flint]

budget?

[tired tiger]

I do some light model traning for school

[tawny hatch]

Guys I am tunning rtx 5080 with i9-12900k . Would upgrading to ryzen 9 9950x3d give a big boost to fps at 4k? There is only one channel in youtube showing it can give at least 40 fps difference on a 3090 ti and I don't know if i should believe it or not.

[tired tiger]

I was going to get a identical one to the existing two

[green tendon]

i well be great for it

[pale flint]

i mean its cheap as you said

[tired tiger]

also would keep the colors hopefully the same

if hdmi doesn't screw me over

[pale flint]

i have never bought a monitor since im a lappy user

[true stirrup]

[tired tiger]

the current two run thru dp on the thunderbolt dock I have

[pale flint]

yeah

[latent pasture]

not worth it

even with a 5090 the difference is meh

[true stirrup]

at 4k the GPU heavily takes over

[green tendon]

this is my laptop and i do 8billion Param ML work

[harsh plinth]

Is it worth going over budget? I’ll be using the SSD thru a m2->usb3 adapter since someone told me it’s better to have the m2 SSD with windows in the actual motherboard

[latent pasture]

based

[pale flint]

i have 12450h

[tired tiger]

fair I guess I could do some light traning on my laptop as well

[pale flint]

but rtx 3050

[true stirrup]

it's only 10€ over

[latent pasture]

laptop 2050 is identical to 3050 except the vram is in 2x2gb instead of 4x1gb

[true stirrup]

also you only have 1 m.2 slot?

[green tendon]

i would be great for your work

[tired tiger]

is just that I did the math and paying for a gpu, electricity and also getting annoyed at possible issues on linux is worth a lot more than just using google collab

also collab most of the time is just free

[pale flint]

fair enuf

[green tendon]

i think collab need internet connection all the time

[pale flint]

no shit

[harsh plinth]

Yes I only have one slot, I have a 65€ mATX ASUS mobo

[green tendon]

so local training would be better

[green tendon]

ok you can train on the cpu but it would be slower

[tawny hatch]

This video is throwing me off. I don't believe it

[true stirrup]

do you have any PCIe slots free?

[harsh plinth]

Yea but I would really want to spend 90€, max 100 if it’s really worth it. I need to buy a new mouse and stuff so I need to save a bit

[harsh plinth]

Kinda, I have 2 mini pcie or whatever they are called but they are covered by the GPU and I don’t think I would fit a extension cable since getting the usb case cable to not hit the GPU fans was already a pain in the ass

[tired tiger]

is just not worth it

[hollow creek]

cpu alone would give it away, thats the coolest 5800x3D under load ive seen

[tired tiger]

trust me I did the math, also where I will use ai in the future they also use collab

[green tendon]

okay

[pale flint]

also the 12900k

[hollow creek]

yeh

[true stirrup]

yeah that is tight so no PCIe to M.2 adapter then

[green tendon]

https://dn720309.ca.archive.org/0/items/original-rick-roll/Original mp4.mp4

[harsh plinth]

I have a usb to m2 adapter

[true stirrup]

I mean that would work

[harsh plinth]

I could send you the link so you could see what speeds it has or whatever if you want

[green tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-roll-gif-25917805

[tawny hatch]

Its definitely fake right?

[latent pasture]

the 9800x3d is being used 30% while the 5800x3d 17%

9800x3d 30c higher despite the major improvement of gen2 cache is that they put it under the core so the cores face the cooler plate

[harsh plinth]

One more question besides the SSD one, if I’m playing cpu games like cs, fortnite etc and my cpu (5 5600) is sitting at 40-50%, would I benefit from a better CPU or no?

[ebon marlin]

Damn I didn't even realize how good of a deal I got

iPhone 12 Pro Max 256gb for 200€ and all it requires is a new battery, new earpiece speaker and new rear camera goass

[true stirrup]

you always benefit from a better CPU but the question is if you need it

[ebon marlin]

Allat costs like 15-20€ together

[latent pasture]

doesnt a 5600 alr get like 300fps do u even need more than that

[ebon marlin]

So basically a brand new iPhone 12 PM 256gb for 220€

[true stirrup]

legit only you and sim can find such godly deals

[pale flint]

what

[ebon marlin]

I buy broken devices and repair them

Although the earpiece speaker requires soldering although that's not an issue

[lost osprey]

Is first boot on am4 supposed to take more than 20 minutes

[pale flint]

surely the battery is gonna be cheap

[fallow yacht]

so soldered ram runs at 3733mt/s max?

[pale flint]

surely
