[grizzled frost]

i’m always right (i’m not)

did the socket replacement work 1 year ago?

[tidal geyser]

wut

[thin bloom]

I said it earlier but the guy that did the work had the day off today and be back tomorrow

[grizzled frost]

it’s warped now, but was it always?

[tidal geyser]

it was just repaired

[grizzled frost]

oh this was unrelated, me dumb

[tidal geyser]

the 1 year thing i said was about the b580 benchmarks

[grizzled frost]

why did bro pay the 100 if it didn’t work

[tidal geyser]

he did not

he would have if it worked

[grizzled frost]

i wanna see a pic of the whole socket

[thin bloom]

They left flux on the pins and they bent 2 pins. So it kept grounding

[tidal geyser]

its also bridged under there

aka why you do not do these kinda repairs

[thin bloom]

Yeah i don't know what that is. It was the first thing I saw when I got the board

[haughty raptor]

Quick question does anyone know how to fix this error?? Anytime I try to play a game this happens. My cpu and gpu temps are under 70c when this happens

[tidal geyser]

probs ram dying

[grizzled frost]

HAHAHA, i love the error code “uncorrectable error”, the way they worded it is fucking hilarious

[tidal geyser]

Go to C:\Windows\Minidump (Sometimes Minidumps for some reason) and check if you have any minidump files. If you do, go back to the Windows folder and copy the Minidump folder itself to the Downloads folder (You can use the desktop if you don't have OneDrive syncing files). Zip the copied folder and attach it to a post. Windows hates you messing around in C:\Windows so please follow the instructions to the letter.

[plain cypress]

So I had the brilliant idea of running insiders back in 2018 And guess who started getting GSODs about 2 hours before a final exam

*brilliant idea of running insiders on the laptop I took to class at the end of the semester

[grizzled frost]

i run the dev beta of mac os and pray this doesn’t happen to me

thankfully the dev beta is semi stable

[haughty raptor]

Did not have any.

[plain cypress]

I RMAd the laptop and Asus replaced the main board and ram

[tidal geyser]

you need to have one

[grizzled frost]

ios dev beta is worse than the macos dev beta usually

[tidal geyser]

do this https://spec-ify.com/

[thin bloom]

I wonder of that's a damaged pin or it's just debri

[haughty raptor]

Decided to check msi afterburner and for some reason it reset to this horrible config 🤮 guess this was the problem

[random gyro]

sup

[tidal geyser]

ffs

[solar moat]

dont use msi after buern for those amd card

[formal sonnet]

Reinstall a non-Insider Build and see if the issue remains. Insider Builds are not officially supported by most software.

[thin bloom]

I'm home now. It's time for the boards bath

[tidal geyser]

mate do not waste alcohol

its fucked

its melted

[haughty raptor]

Alr so I’m guessing just to uninstall it.

[thin bloom]

It's an old bottle of alcohol from 2023. It's probably not good no more but I have more than a half of bottle

I'm fine wasnting it

[plain cypress]

@formal sonnet they discussed you on the WAN show :)

[tidal geyser]

well i did mean isopropanol

99% or better

[latent gull]

i remember them mentioning another mod a few weeks ago, maybe jawa?

[formal sonnet]

Yee, I ran Insider Builds for a while... until I realized there was no easy way to "exit" the Insider Channel once you installed a certain build version. Sometimes you can return to "retail" whence Microsoft releases the next major "retail" channel version, other times you can't ever leave Insider without a reinstall.

[opal light]

cinebench is fine for stress testing gpu right

or should I just do occt

[plain cypress]

Kirashi mentioned TeamViewer

I don't recall previous mod mentions

Should be part of WAN bingo tho

[formal sonnet]

I know. I'm watching. And to repeat... I wanted to switch to RustDesk, but due to the number of ongoing projects our extremely small team is handling (on top of Helpdesk Tickets), it's just not feasible right now, hence the powers that be agreeing to a stteply "discounted" 3yr TeamViewer renewal.

That said, we do have plans to find an alternative service within the next 3yrs so hopefully we''ll get there. Trouble is finding something that offers the same "user mirroring" and headless access TeamViewer does that isn't also complete garbage to both deploy and then update / manage via an RMM.

[latent gull]

i think jawa was mentioned a few weeks ago i dont remember why tho

[tidal geyser]

use occt

[thin bloom]

I know

[opal light]

yeah I noticed my temps climb a lot higher with occt

cinebench they’re really good under 100% load but idk what occt does to get those temps

[balmy tapir]

windows is so weird, it's unstable and crashing with my memory OC but linux doesn't care at all

[plain cypress]

Yeah my first thought was "I'm sure they would love to switch, but switching cost are a real thing and sometimes you just need to get shit done"

Kinda my annoyance with linus

[formal sonnet]

Pretty much "nail meet hammer" moment. I'm well aware of "voting with your wallet" and do so in my personal life but 1) not my circus not my monkeys and 2) "with what project time would we switch to something else?" We have a production environment of users to support - we can't just snap our fingers and switch overnight.

[plain cypress]

He takes the extremely redditor ideology to topics "of course you must do the most logical pro consumer thing in every matter" while taking no context to how real world functions

Actually you cannot just change your processes and implementations on a dime

[balmy tapir]

maybe my OC isn't stable, gang what does this mean 😭😭

[latent gull]

the not my circus not my monkeys is something i quote quite a lot when people complain about stuff at work, makes it a lot less stressful :P

[plain cypress]

I guarantee LMG cannot just switch from TeamViewer, as an example, in the blink of an eye unless they were willing to eat all the hiccups and switching costs

[tidal geyser]

the oc does not apply to the bios

[latent gull]

tbf thats kinda why they got a new CEO

[plain cypress]

It is as if the last time he ran LMG IT was when it was a 5 person company

[balmy tapir]

so ram is just running at default speeds in bios??

[tidal geyser]

are you using igpu?

you cant

[balmy tapir]

nope 3900x

[tidal geyser]

it really does look like your gpu is saying goodbye

but also that ram config is pain

[balmy tapir]

nah gpu is fine, rebooted and it's all good now

honestly really strange

[plain cypress]

Kind of off topic, but #2 is why I still haven't done any real scripting or automation at work
Yes in the long run it would save me time and effort
But in order to do that, I have to have enough spare time to actually get the scripting done (or do it on my personal time, which is increasingly sparse)

[formal sonnet]

More or less the same, but with our documentation platform. I make time here and there to improve our relatively tiny PowerShell scripts, and occasionally update documentation, but the grand scheme of "documenting all the things" we want to have will never happen if we don't assign actual bona fide project time to it.

[thin bloom]

Also I don't give 2 fucks about the board now. If I break it I break it even more. It's now my science experiment. If I some how get this board to work. If I get it to work I will call the shop back and tell them I fixed your errors you made on my pc's board and now it works

[latent gull]

the ARC pricing bit in the latest wan show is just upsettings :(

[plain cypress]

What was the pricing

[latent gull]

we finally got back to normality and then the fuckin improbability drive got whacked again

[plain cypress]

I got my B580 for $249.99 shipped to my door 13 months ago

[latent gull]

cheapest was 300 and then significantly up from there

most were 350 minimum

[plain cypress]

Mother fucker where is my peanut butter

[ivory mountain]

boiii we back on l*nux

[plain cypress]

So I can make money on my B580

[viral kayak]

How big of a performance boost could I see going from a 1070 to a 3070

[plain cypress]

Google "tech power up GPU relative performance"

[viral kayak]

Ok thanks

[random gyro]

sup

[golden elk]

i can't find any reviews on the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Vision EVO air cooler?

is it bad? or good

[mint umbra]

guess ai is the future the most subbed chanel on twitch is some ai vtuber

mfs dont even want to watch real ppl anymore lmao

[viral kayak]

This chart is what you meant right?

[viral kayak]

Only good v tuber is the v tuber of the year burntpeanut

[mint umbra]

how is there a difference between the two lmao

burt peanut is jsut another toxic af streamer like xqc or something

[viral kayak]

Burnt peanut uses the simplest avatar possible and focuses more on being funny and gameplay than his avatar

[mint umbra]

hes not anymore special than the other fps streamers

[viral kayak]

He’s funnier than the other fps streamers

[mint umbra]

More toxic maybe

idk about funny

Id rather watch someone like summit who isnt just screaming all the time

[viral kayak]

I normally don’t watch him but it’s funny to watch the few times I do

[mint umbra]

but guess thats what all these new gen streamers are all like just load asf

[latent gull]

new gen? brother thats all its been since twitch started

[mint umbra]

not really

[latent gull]

thats all twitch has EVER been

that and horny

[viral kayak]

Twitch is built on screaming toxic fps streamers

[thin bloom]

So far i broke 1 pin while the shop broke one. The one that you see that is really shiny broke. I touched it with a pick and it broke

[viral kayak]

Their the ones that bring in the money for twitch

[mint umbra]

last time I check ppl like lirik and moistcritical dont be screaming

[latent gull]

twitch has 2 modes. amouranth or syndicate

[ivory mountain]

damn youve been working on this all day, W dedication

[viral kayak]

Why’s it so greasy

[mint umbra]

there is plenty of old school streamers who dont be loud af

[thin bloom]

Because I dumped some isopropal alcohol on it

[viral kayak]

Oh makes sense

[latent gull]

yeah and theres plenty of new ones too, your only focusing on the bad, so imma only focus on the bad

[mint umbra]

cohcarnage as well

summit

[plain cypress]

From the GPU specs page for each individual graphics card, you can see the relative performance section where it sets that specific card to "100% performance", which allows you to view each GPU relative to the one you're looking at.
In this case, the 3070 is 200%+ better performance than 1070 (when within the 8GB vram capacity)

[viral kayak]

Oh I was on the wrong page?

[thin bloom]

I think the board is ready to test?

[mint umbra]

theres more bad streamers now than there was before

[latent gull]

theres also just significantly more streamers now

[mint umbra]

and all the popular ones are loud af

[latent gull]

almost as if the kind of people who spend their time watching twitch streams enjoy that content

twitch is a cesspool, always has been, always will be

[mint umbra]

its worse now

[latent gull]

what a ridiculous hill to die on

[waxen shell]

Hey chat

[mint umbra]

its been worse ever since they added the irl section

just go watch dougdoug and laugh and be happy

[viral kayak]

Dougdoug is peak but I swear he only streams when I’m sleeping

[latent gull]

ive only ever watched his vods, i dont have time to watch streams

hes the only streamer i really enjoy watching though

[waxen shell]

Ok

Streamers are so peak fr

[mint umbra]

never heard of him

[latent gull]

not surprising

[waxen shell]

“if chat spells this word I die in minecraft”

[mint umbra]

I dont watch minecraft youtubers

[plain cypress]

No, but, setting your current GPU as the 100% scale is the most helpful

[mint umbra]

or streamers

[waxen shell]

Doesn’t just do minecraft 🎋

[mint umbra]

either way dont know who he is

[waxen shell]

He’s Doug J. Doug

[mint umbra]

mate saying his name aint gunna help

[waxen shell]

vntrve

[thorny saddle]

whats up ya'll

[viral kayak]

Doug got sponsored by Lego a little while back

[random gyro]

[warm anvil]

why is my xbox controller moving twice when i use the joystick T-T

[thin bloom]

Well I made some sort of progress. I don't know what is causing that sound

@tidal geyser what you think the problem is?

[plain cypress]

Shame

Red dead redemption 2 doesn't support steam families

[thin bloom]

Now it's not doing it after my psu feel and almost dropped the board onto the floor

I'm thinking of trying to find a board and a cpu on Facebook. If I can find a good cpu upgrade with a board I just have to buy a board

[thorny saddle]

what board what cpu

[viral kayak]

Majority of rockstar games don’t

[thin bloom]

If I can find a cpu better than the i7 7700k with a board I will buy it for a good price. If not I will just buy a board and use my current cpu

[plain cypress]

Uhhhh

What else does Rockstar make

Ohhh they do GTA

[plain cypress]

Tis a shame
The other 2 people in my household own this game and I could simply have them sign into my PC and I could play it

But like I wanna use my steam account

[eternal cloak]

Tsk tsk tsk
Red Dead Redemption

[dusk jay]

This might be a really dumb question but could I build a nas out of an old PC I have? It's an i5 4670k with 8gb ddr3.
I can put up to 4 sata drives in it so I'm not concerned about storage itself and I can get a cheap pcie to m.2 adaptor and stick an old 128gb SSD I have in for the OS, just wondering if the cpu and ram will be sufficient, I know absolutely nothing about required specs for a nas

[plain cypress]

Hmmm
I make a separate user called RDR2
Have gf sign into steam
Play RDR2 on that user profile

[plain cypress]

Right
They make RDR and RDR2

And nothing else of note

[eternal cloak]

I guess you could count L.A Noire but that's a bit of a stretch

[plain cypress]

Oh I forgot that was Rockstar

I've still never played a rockstar game

[eternal cloak]

Ye, L.A Noire, Bully (they remastered that one in 2016) and thaaaat's pretty much it

[sharp ivy]

I mean, it's not guaranteed

given that it took me until my steam wouldn't launch to bother to update it I guess that's a no

[zealous plover]

Is this a good deal (In AUD)? https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/monitors/27-33-inch/119592-27m2n3500pf

[thin bloom]

Now I think of it. it's probably best to buy a board since idk what problems I would have with a used board and cpu

[random gyro]

this bios screen looks so old

[empty quartz]

As much as i like apple, what the everloving fuck were they thinking with this 😭

[thin bloom]

I want to buy this but pc part pickers won't show it. I need to know of my wifi card can plug into it

I think my wifi card can fit but I think it be touching the gpu. My gpu is a 2 prong

[empty quartz]

Do not even consider that

[thin bloom]

Why?

[golden elk]

guys should i use AtlasOS?

[empty quartz]

That motherboard is e-waste

[thin bloom]

I like the ports it has

[empty quartz]

Get something from a reputable company

Even used would be better

[thin bloom]

Like this?

[fallow yacht]

maybe get the b chipset if u want more ports?

[empty quartz]

@thin bloom what ports do you need

[fallow yacht]

normal iso + autounattend is better

[thin bloom]

I'm trying to find a board with one or 2 ps2 port and 6 to 5 usb ports

[fallow yacht]

why do u need ps2 ports man

[empty quartz]

Why would you need a ps/2 port in 2026

[fallow yacht]

replace ur peripherals lol

[empty quartz]

You can also get adapters for usb to ps/2 if you’re that dead set

[thin bloom]

My keyboard is a ps2 port. I know I could buy an adapter. You know what I'm fine with a board with out the ps2 port. I need the adapter for my new build anyway

[livid perch]

threadripper who

[fallow yacht]

replace ur keyboard & mouse bro

shi came from the 1920s

[empty quartz]

Threadripper would kick its ass

[livid perch]

probably lol

[thin bloom]

Nah I rather keep my windows 95 keyboard. This is an old image but this is its current condition

[empty quartz]

That is disgusting

[fallow yacht]

tf is its importance

i get it if it were a model m but why

[empty quartz]

@thin bloom have you ever heard of cleaning your keyboard?

[fallow yacht]

it's just a membrane keyboard they're cheap af nowadays

[livid perch]

still it was nice seeing this

[thin bloom]

I know it hasn't been cleaned in its life and I'm leaving as it is

[fallow yacht]

bro's not on 24h2???

nvm

[empty quartz]

I just got 3 undiscovered diseases just looking at it :3

[thin bloom]

The keyboard came from my parent's pc. I don't know if my parents bought the keyboard like that or it's from them using it

[random gyro]

which ipad is this

[livid perch]

wha

[solar moat]

sMORE POWER

[empty quartz]

Ipad pro 10.5” (2017)

[fallow yacht]

i'm stupid i thought the taskmgr colors in the graph are like what win 10 was

[livid perch]

I gave it all the beans I had

[random gyro]

im getting an m1 ipad pro 12.9" soon

[livid perch]

ooh lol

[solar moat]

i seen one of those chips suck down 300W before

[livid perch]

holy

tbh

[solar moat]

ddr5 9000 for the win

[livid perch]

i forgot to check the energy consumption

[thin bloom]

I would upgrade my keyboard but old things are ment to last. I will replace my keyboard when it dies or I can't get a rubber membrane for it

[livid perch]

I had the turbo mod on so fans at full speed I had battery mode on max power

i closed all the apps and ended the tasks that used the CPU

thats what I got 1711

[livid perch]

real

[solar moat]

whats it score in PYPrime 2.2

[livid perch]

havent tried yet

[empty quartz]

Thermal throttling goes crazy

[livid perch]

ill try tomarrow fans are too loud parents said turn it down :/

[livid perch]

it didnt really

the hall chasis was cold

n the air coming out was soo cold it literarily hurt my hands

[empty quartz]

Its only hitting 3.5ghz in this image

[livid perch]

pros of living at 52 f room temp lol

[empty quartz]

Use real units please

[livid perch]

normal speed is around 3.08

as u can see on benchmark

[livid perch]

11c

[solar moat]

oh that sounds so nice

[empty quartz]

@livid perch

[livid perch]

idek the CPU is weird

[solar moat]

yes it is

[solar moat]

with NGU/D2D/ecores

[livid perch]

its at 4 ghz rndoing 5 percent

[solar moat]

whats odd about that

[livid perch]

i can assure u it wasnt thermal throttheling tho

[livid perch]

idk

[solar moat]

if you hit allcore hard it will be power limited and ecores fuck up the clock speed numbers

[thin bloom]

I also mostly want a gigabyte board since I been using gigabyte for 2 years but if a different brand cheaper under 82 usd on Amazon I'm fine going with a different brand

[silver coyote]

im downloading windows rn and i keep getting the purple screen what do i do💔

[dense escarp]

msi b450mpower sold out boys 😭 had to go with asus tuf b850m

[livid perch]

tbh im impressed with the helios 16s cooling i never had a laptop get soo cold that the air coming out actually started hurting my hands

[livid perch]

oh yeah

true i forgot about that

i js wanted to test cinebench

n idk if its normal but it looks above the m1 ultra and the threadripper with 32 cores

[solar moat]

cinabench boring benchmark

[livid perch]

i dont know much about CPUs

[solar moat]

y-cuncher way nicer

also pyprime 2.2 is nice aswell

linpack allso good

[livid perch]

ill try em tomarrow

[timid sandal]

Hey guys

What are your thoughts on a competitive PC Building game?

[thin bloom]

@empty quartz should I get this? I like the look of the board

[cold skiff]

Decent board but it’s a bit pricey for AM4 isn’t it?

[solar moat]

not at all

[timid sandal]

is it just a bad idea or is it something else? Just curious haha

[thin bloom]

I did the math it's to expensive. Can't buy the ps2 port adapter and I be completely broke. I only have 103.21 usd

[grizzled nova]

Its also an asrock board

Asrock boards are decent because theyre cheap and thats about it

[thin bloom]

I guess I could get this but I don't see were I can connect my case wires

[cold skiff]

I’m not even going to try and find the specs. That board looks cheap af

Don’t buy that

[thin bloom]

As of right now i can only buy a cheap board. I badly want my pc back up and running

[thin bloom]

I just checked pc part picker that board doesn't support the cpu

[grizzled frost]

what cpu

[thin bloom]

I7-7700k

[grizzled frost]

you are correct

[fallow yacht]

need room ideas

[thin bloom]

I'm tired right I will look up boards tomorrow and mess with the old board

[true drift]

whats the weather like there? it looks sunny

here its really cold and rainy 🙁

[fringe prairie]

are you in the uk?

[topaz ingot]

thats a nice room. would be nice to have something on the wall tho

[true drift]

im in the US

[fringe prairie]

oh welp guessed wrong lol

[topaz ingot]

is that water dmg? lol

[true drift]

Put tiles on your wall, it fills up space

[swift stream]

b450 is less modern, unless you don't want any future proofing or modern performance in games than go for it

[swift stream]

i could never put those tiles on my wall

[topaz ingot]

ive seen that old school phone somewhere lol

also there's so much blank space

[true drift]

It’s a VoIP phone

[topaz ingot]

is that at work? roomB7 is odd for a name

[ivory mountain]

well my windows install finally shit the bed so onto better things 🙏

[true drift]

i got rid of mine a while ago lol

[thin bloom]

I would upgrade but to expensive right now. Have to buy, cpu, board, ram, psu. I could keep mine but my current psu doesn't have another 8 pin for the cpu

[swift stream]

you don't need both 8 pins for cpu, only one should be fine

[buoyant bridge]

best pc is my single core nuc

i really do appreciate how easy it is to use kde partition manager

glad i backed up my save files this time before switching

is there any good gen 3 nvmes?

you save your ssh credentials in a manager I save them without the passwords in a notepad file and I remember the passwords

[ivory mountain]

its peak

[drowsy isle]

Feeling the burn of settling with the 5080 over the 5090, 16gb is not enough

[buoyant bridge]

I have the 6950XT rn but I might get a 9070 XT soon

[ivory mountain]

the fact that a $1200+ gpu only has 16gb of vram still is insane

[ivory mountain]

ima get a 9070xt when someone hires me

[swift stream]

i personally wouldn't unless you care about fsr 4

[buoyant bridge]

it uses way less power does it not?

my PC is litterally able to blow a breaker if I plug it into a standard outlet rn and then max out everything

[drowsy isle]

Like half, 6950 xt was a fucking nuclear reactor

[swift stream]

thats a you problem

[drowsy isle]

Sadly there’s no option apart from spending $3000+ now

[buoyant bridge]

ok but I litterally have reason to go to the 9070XT

might have to kill someone

[drowsy isle]

I should have just stuck with a 5090 when they were $2200

[swift stream]

you also have the 5070 ti

I am not buying an nvidia card purely on moral principle as I am morally opposed to nvidia

what did nvidia do to you 😔 🥀 💀 🙏

[buoyant bridge]

I bought 8 4090 Tis for my company's use and they all arrived defective and it took 3 months to RMA them (which tbf they did do eventually)

[sharp lance]

im playing a damn youtube vid...

[buoyant bridge]

when you buy a bulk packaged item they're from the same production lot so if ones defective they're usually all defective

its not weird that it happened, but the 3 month RMA process pissed me off, also they prefer AI companies over consumers so!!!

[swift stream]

depending on your browser build youtube quality upscaling can spike gpu usage

opera gx playing at 1080p

[thorny saddle]

what prison is this

[sharp lance]

my 1660 super would run at like 4% load under the exact same parameters

[swift stream]

firefox for me took 40% of my gpu once at 1080p, so i'm guessing more or less on chromium (i have a 6750 xt)

[sharp lance]

weird

[swift stream]

mine usually stays around 5-30% now with optimization though

[sharp lance]

oh? how did you do that

[swift stream]

also spyware gx isn't that good of a browser

[sharp lance]

yeah ik

im to lazy to switch to brave or fire fox

Damn Firefox usually takes like 2% to 5% never modified anything

[sharp lance]

idk what data of mine they havent sold yet but i know its not much

[swift stream]

i use zen, which lets you transfer data from other browsers instantly

[sharp lance]

oh that will be good

i will check it out soon

[drowsy isle]

Same with me, I swapped from chrome to edge and the only reason why I left edge is because all of the websites I was logged into logged me out. Didn’t clear cookies or anything so pissed me off

Swapped to Firefox

Firefox is nice but has some issues

A lot of stuff I need to use is not supported

[sharp lance]

like what

ah

[spice hinge]

Ay! is $60K cheap for a com site?

[swift stream]

usually happens when i disable performance enhancement, but personally idrk bc i use a browser as one task

[formal sonnet]

That's not a site; that's just a domain. And domain prices being "cheap" or "worth it" are entirely subjective. If you have a really niche idea that requires an expensive domain, it might be worth spending a pretty penny... if you think you'll be able to recoup the investment.

[drowsy isle]

Not really game breaking my keyboard’s web software is not supported, vr doesn’t work at all but don’t really care about it, also auto translation but it is what it is

[sharp lance]

ah i will see if i can find that

[buoyant bridge]

does someone own it already?

[sharp lance]

thats stupid

[spice hinge]

No clue

[formal sonnet]

Yes, it's currently "parked" through GoDaddy. https://bgp.he.net/dns/sharkstudio.com#_rdap

[buoyant bridge]

thats prob a price they estimate they can buy it for

[spice hinge]

tbh is fi grab a domain with "Sharkstudio" it'll be a net or org

[drowsy isle]

Yeah if you buy any product that has web based software than good luck trying to get it working on Firefox

You will need to use chrome

[valid fiber]

you can get some room design inspiration from this
https://youtu.be/KHmcd_W8hCo?t=58

[formal sonnet]

Looks like this domain used to belong to someone helping other's market their services online. At some point, they let the domain name expire, after which GoDaddy snapped it up to extort at a high price as GoDaddy always does. This is why we NEVER do business with GoDaddy. Don't support extortionist business practices.

I need to debloat my windows, nothing opened and already 12gb in use

[sharp lance]

for me its 12-18 gb idle

[formal sonnet]

This is completely normal. Remember, kids... unused RAM is wasted RAM.

[buoyant bridge]

this is normal for 64GB

[sharp lance]

all 48 gb of my ddr4 going to waste

[buoyant bridge]

use a memory analyzer its mostly just cache (it speeds up your system)

[mint umbra]

Windows bloat isnt even a big deal

[valid fiber]

well the more you have the more gets used for random OS stuff

[mint umbra]

Like most ppl have enough ram where it doesn't matter

[sharp lance]

for example ahh

[buoyant bridge]

itll free up as you approach higher memory use anyways

[mint umbra]

Only Linux ppl i find care alot about it

[buoyant bridge]

which makes no sense because it slows down ur system lol (low memory use = no cache)

[valid fiber]

no idea the stuff in taksmanager never adds up to something thats even close to the used amount

[mint umbra]

I have 32gb might as well make use of it

[drowsy isle]

Wish I still had 192gb ram to trade for the 5090s, 16gb vram has just been unusable on my 5080

[valid fiber]

except that time

[buoyant bridge]

cache isn't shown as a program

nor is stuff like Hyper-V

[mint umbra]

16gb unusable lol how

I've never gone over 16

[sharp lance]

youtube uses so much damn ram

[buoyant bridge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap use this if you wanna see how ur memory is actually being used

[mint umbra]

Most I've used is like 14gb vram

5090 is such overkill

[buoyant bridge]

I fill my 16GB constantly

[mint umbra]

On what lol

[buoyant bridge]

Dell UP2715K

[tired bear]

Peek

[mint umbra]

Maybe on like ai stuff

[buoyant bridge]

nope gaming usually fills it

[mint umbra]

How

[buoyant bridge]

keep in mind I use as high as 3GB of vram at desktop though

[buoyant bridge]

Dell UP2715K

[mint umbra]

I play at 4k and never use 16

[buoyant bridge]

4K ain't shit

[drowsy isle]

Just bought a vr headset recently and max out 16gb constantly end up having horrible 1% lows. Even steam home I used a half life environment and was immediately using 15gb. I tried doing a bit of a sim rig setup and was already constrained by 16gb

[buoyant bridge]

:D

[mint umbra]

5k on a 27 inch monitor lmao

[buoyant bridge]

same PPI iMacs use

[mint umbra]

Even 4k feels like a waste on 27

[drowsy isle]

Ever ran path tracing too? Indiana jones cooks 16gb cards

[buoyant bridge]

well yeah 4K objectively is dumb on 27"

its 150% of 1440P PPI wise

5K is 200%

[mint umbra]

Mate no one is path tracing except mfs with 5090s

[buoyant bridge]

objectively regardless of the resolution 150% of the 100 PPI scale for a monitor will look worse in many cases than the original 100% scale (unless you're on a mac cause macos handles fractional scales much better)

[mint umbra]

The performance is ass

[drowsy isle]

I use path tracing on my 5080. $1000 card I use path tracing when ever I can

[buoyant bridge]

I paid for the whole GPU I will use the whole GPU

[mint umbra]

Not worth the performance

[drowsy isle]

I just turn on dlss cyberpunk with dlss quality and FG 2x runs smooth on the 5080

[mint umbra]

Your just using fake frames to make up for the bad performance

[buoyant bridge]

I play games at 1440P cus there is litterally 0 point in going above ur screen size's 100 PPI area in games

[drowsy isle]

If it runs fine enough then what’s the problem, if the framerate is already 50-60 FG won’t be bad

[mint umbra]

Fg is ass

Too much artifacts and awful latency

[drowsy isle]

Don’t notice the latency when the base fps is decent enough

[buoyant bridge]

my Intel® Pentium® Processor N3700 with
Intel® HD Graphics for Intel® Celeron® Processor N3000 Series is better than your pc

[mint umbra]

I do

[drowsy isle]

Hardly get artificers, lossless scaling and far FG fave me a ton but dlss FG hardly gave me any in cyberpunk

[drowsy isle]

What gpu?

[mint umbra]

Its why icant play mhw

Cuz the frame gen is ass cheeks

[buoyant bridge]

This is cute

He's just a little guy

[drowsy isle]

What gpu do you have?

[mint umbra]

7900xtx

[buoyant bridge]

that would be ur issue

[drowsy isle]

Yeah

[buoyant bridge]

framegen on nvidia cards is miles ahead of amd

[mint umbra]

Mate nvda frame gen ain't good either

[drowsy isle]

Path tracing and FG are ass on the xtx

[drowsy isle]

Ever used it?

[buoyant bridge]

have you ever used it on like a 30 series or newer card??

[mint umbra]

I've seen comparisons

[buoyant bridge]

which ones cus most of them generally agree with nvidia being better than AMD at frame gen

[mint umbra]

Its still bad

[frigid blade]

4-8 months wait time

[drowsy isle]

Bruh

[mint umbra]

Better than trash ain't something to celebrate

[buoyant bridge]

how the fuck do I not have any ethernet cables anywhere wtf

[frigid blade]

That’s why you keep a spool and crimp your own when you need it

[mint umbra]

I don't have ethernet either

[buoyant bridge]

I have one

[drowsy isle]

I got too many cables and one 50 feet one my isp guy made for me only for me to never use

[buoyant bridge]

I just don't know where all my premade cables went

I have like 3000ft of cat6a sitting in my truck bed rn

[mint umbra]

Can't get ethernet to My room

Router down stairs room up stairs

So gg

[drowsy isle]

You legit never used it, when it’s past 60 fps frame gen is hardly noticeable unless you nitpick by recording a video and looking at the individual frames

Latency in story games isn’t that big of a deal

[buoyant bridge]

the humble rotary hammer :

[mint umbra]

Im not tearing apart walls

[buoyant bridge]

I've litterally never had to tear any of my walls open to run cable 😭

if ur in europe u probably will cus concrete wall but you just gotta cut a hole for the wall box and drill a hole in the top of a stud bay to drop cable down lol in the US

[drowsy isle]

I had used a range extender and all that only issue is I went with the cheapest range extender and the speeds from my router were way better than the extender

Well now I have the router in my room

[mint umbra]

My house wasn't designed very well so that wouldn't work

For my house

[buoyant bridge]

my house was built and the 40s and I did that idk how it couldn't be done 😭

[drowsy isle]

Could ask your isp to move coax port into your room, mine did it for me for $50 but I guess it’ll depend on the house

[viscid helm]

anyone has any other methods for fixing this?

I have over 10 Bluetooth and 2.4GHz devices in my room but the logi bolt receiver is the only device that ruins the connection with smooth 5s

[mint umbra]

I don't pay for internet not happening

[buoyant bridge]

if ur nice to the cable guy he will just say the original one didn't work and the ISP covers the costs

[viscid helm]

once I diconnect it, everything works with no issues

[mint umbra]

I don't use cox im on fiber

[buoyant bridge]

works the same way just they send a dif trained tech lol

[drowsy isle]

I’m also on fiber, fiber plans can use them too

[buoyant bridge]

terminating and splicing fiber is like a 50 step process, terminating coax is a 3 step process

[drowsy isle]

Even though the place I’m at was built in 2020 for some reason coax is used but it is what it is

Was probably just the original isp that did it

[random gyro]

Guys is 240hz good

[buoyant bridge]

fiber prob didnt have runs in the area when it was built

[random gyro]

How they get got 240hz for 100 dollars

[drowsy isle]

Probably not 240hz compliant

But they can still slap 240hz on it

Been seeing 500hz monitors for $200

[buoyant bridge]

whats the model

[drowsy isle]

Good luck feeling that 500hz on a shitty lcd panel

[random gyro]

Idk some random kne on amazob

It had 10k reviews

Idk if its botted

[buoyant bridge]

[wraith bone]

is this a good card ? since its a lower tier card for 4070 , people claimed it has coil whine and the components used on the pcb are of lower quality , i'm getting a good deal on the 2nd hand market for this card tho , i aminly play sports titles https://www.asus.com/in/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/dual/dual-rtx4070-o12g/

[buoyant bridge]

you're selecting the 180hz one lol

[drowsy isle]

For how much?

[buoyant bridge]

looked up the listing on amazon the 180hz one is $102.49 right?

[random gyro]

It says 240hz

[buoyant bridge]

scroll down

[random gyro]

I use pounds the converter might have been being

Wrong

[buoyant bridge]

oh wait r u on UK amazon?

Ye

Most are American so I used dollars

What graphics card is good enough for roblox

[formal sonnet]

It was off by a lot. £115.81 is around $155 USD or $214 CAD, not anywhere close to "$100 USD" - Also, what @buoyant bridge said above. For that price, you're getting "cheap" and "fast" but definitely NOT "good."

[buoyant bridge]

roblox doesn't use the GPU very much

you can litterally use like the most basic igpu and roblox is fine

[random gyro]

I have a intel core i5 and im getting 5 fps

[buoyant bridge]

which core i5

[fringe prairie]

that name means nothing

[random gyro]

Idk

[fringe prairie]

could be an i5 750 from 10+ years ago

[buoyant bridge]

roblox recommends a CPU thats like 7 years off at minimum, but they also haven't updated that recommendation in a decade

[drowsy isle]

[random gyro]

I5-1235u

I think

[buoyant bridge]

yeah that should not be getting 5 fps

ur doin smth wrong

[random gyro]

Help

[drowsy isle]

Probably have a bunch of other apps hogging up resources or thermal throttling

[buoyant bridge]

can you open task manager and see what cpu u have?

[random gyro]

Its memory that is high my cpu is 30% memory 90%

[buoyant bridge]

Microsoft edge is hogging my memory

[buoyant bridge]

then close edge?

[fringe prairie]

how much ram

[random gyro]

8gb

[fringe prairie]

well that might explain it

[random gyro]

Ok

[fringe prairie]

1235u igpu isn’t exactly top notch either lol

[drowsy isle]

If you got low ram close the browser whenever you game, it’s what I used to do when I had 16gb. Start disabling some apps in startup too.

[random gyro]

My phone is more powerful 😂

And its exynos

Not the snapdragon

[buoyant bridge]

its roblox people play roblox on like nearly 20 year old igpus without issue

[random gyro]

My laptop cooked

[random gyro]

Its tower defence simulator the waves get rlly laggy

Everyone lags

[drowsy isle]

Probably just the ram holding it back.

[random gyro]

I csnt fix it

[drowsy isle]

CPU is decent enough for Roblox, start disabling some apps in the startup section on task manager

Chances are apps you aren’t even using are hogging resources

[random gyro]

Bitdefender is

It says its using 5% cpu

[orchid vector]

Guys is there any scams on ebay

[random gyro]

Ye I got scammed

[orchid vector]

i saw a 5080 for basically the same price as a new 5070ti

[orchid vector]

how?

[random gyro]

I bought a game but they sent the wrong game

[orchid vector]

did you get a refund?

[wraith bone]

455 usd

[drowsy isle]

Yeah you can get scammed on any site that has a 3rd marketplace front like Amazon Best Buy aliexpress etc just pay attention to reviews

[random gyro]

No

[drowsy isle]

Not really that good, 5070s are slightly more unless you are from a different country and just converting

[random gyro]

Nvidia overpriced their stuff

[wraith bone]

yup india

[orchid vector]

If i get an expensive gpu am i not gonna get a refund if i get scammed?

[wraith bone]

getting a 5070 for 611 usd

[drowsy isle]

Because people pay for it and Amd is still behind

[tired bear]

Better late than never

[drowsy isle]

The get the 4070, still a strong card

[wraith bone]

is 5070 much better than 4070 for esports titles and some racing games like FH5 ?

[drowsy isle]

Not a huge difference

Both support dlss 4 features apart from mfg

[wraith bone]

are prices gonna increase for 5070 / 4070 ? reports are 5090 prices are gonna sky rocket

[orchid vector]

^^

[drowsy isle]

Honestly there’s a high demand for high vram cards, I highly doubt it’ll strike the lower capacity cards unless things get so bad

Which would probably take years

Nvidia is already selling the 5070s below msrp

Meanwhile higher capacity cards like the 5090 are extremely hard to get even 50% above msrp

[wraith bone]

i mainly play cod bo 7 ,warzone , pubg , cs2 , FH5

im more worried about that particular 4070 having coil whine issues and if it the components used are of lower quality rather than the actual perf. of 4070 die which is gonna be the same on all tier cards

[ivory mountain]

discord whyyyy do u do this

[buoyant bridge]

lemme guess u pasted a screenshot you just took?

just press esc and paste it again if you did, it does that cus ur monitor is too large to screenshot in a single buffer

or just wait like a second next time

[rigid fjord]

it's never to big for discord to buffer it

[buoyant bridge]

windows takes screenshots in 1920x1200 sections if ur monitor is higher res than that it wont instantly be ready to paste

[brave brook]

i gave myself around maximum 100 euro limit for ebay purchases, and even then only from reputable sellers.

[rigid fjord]

i don't trust anything with a 100% positive rating tbh

[west arrow]

Hey guys, i found that AMD chipset drivers are quite a bit newer than ASUS. And i was wondering which to install. I heard that ASUS sometimes optimizes the chipset drivers for their motherboards. So which one?

[rigid fjord]

go for the latest one for the board

[west arrow]

so ASUS?

also im not attacking you, but id like to know why

[brave brook]

nobody optimizes the drivers for their hardware, certainly not chipset drivers. Use the AMD ones

[west arrow]

ok ty

[rigid fjord]

no, amd

[west arrow]

ok ty

[rigid fjord]

i also use an amd mobo that's asus branded

[west arrow]

and it works fine?

[rigid fjord]

totally fine

[brave brook]

by "nobody optimizes" i mean motherboard manufacturers. They just repackage official drivers from AMD, Intel, Realtek etc. And they do it only once in a while, so usually it is better to get a driver from the manufacturer of specific part/chip instead of the manufacturer. Only some special cases is when you use drivers from manufacturer - in cases you can't get the drivers elsewhere

[ivory mountain]

Oh its not that, theyre perfectly fine on my clipboard and paste everywhere but discord, happened on windows and linux, its so annoying

ive been looking at upgrading my PC but i dont wanna build my own one this time around because of the troubles i had on my current PC. whats the general consensus around prebuilt companies? ive been seeing ALOT of starforge sponsors everywhere, how are they? or am i better off going for a site thats UK based?

[short moat]

I need help any one

I post my problem at build pc

[fair finch]

Can someone help
Me real quick

I accidentally pressed on the Clear CMOS Button on the back of my PC

And now my pc is running slow bringing up BSOD and restarting every 2 mins

Do I load optimised settings in BIOs then do EXPO I?

any help would be really appreciated

[true stirrup]

What is the BSOD code?

Is the Lian Li Ga2 lite any good?

[fair finch]

Uhhh something like system32 srt trail.txt

[tidal geyser]

Minidumps

[fair finch]

I tried maybe updating my gpu or anything just really slow and crashing

@true stirrup what do you think it can be

[true stirrup]

Do as sim said and find the minidump with the error code

[fair finch]

How do I do that

[spark lichen]

idc about some elitist take, i just want a working PC from a reputable source

[vestal stream]

wtf happend to all my icons??

[tidal geyser]

Iv seen enough bent pins to know it's not

[fair finch]

How do I find the mini dump

[tidal geyser]

You had pga

[urban copper]

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/2NBqYd what does note B and C mean? (dont mind the aio with ryzen 5 5600 i got the aio for free)

[spark lichen]

i built my last one and ran into some issues with my purchased components and ended up having to spend hundreds more than i needed to, i want a working prebuilt and a little bit of a premium is worth the convenience and removal of responsibility when building it

[fair finch]

Oh wow

I just checked something

[tidal geyser]

Pins on cpu

[fair finch]

In task manager my graphics card is not even running it says

[tidal geyser]

And then pins i swear you can use em as a brush

[tidal geyser]

Do not worry about that and I would look at a b550 at least but it's not needed.

[tidal geyser]

[urban copper]

i already have everything but the case

[spark lichen]

so anywho, as for good prebuilt companies i was looking at starforge, cyberpowerPC, PC specialist and overclockers UK. anyone here have any thoughts on the companies?

[tidal geyser]

Cyber power and pc specialist im iffy about

The rest should be fine

[tidal geyser]

Then nothing left to worry abiut

[spark lichen]

any particular reasons for that feeling? or just second hand horror stories from customers

[tidal geyser]

Cyberpower always fails GNs tests from what I remember and even when I was a child looking for a PC they sold a e waste PC and claimed it could do tons of fps never got it ofc thank God.

[sleek ibex]

[tidal geyser]

Pc specialist probs is fine but their lower tiers I think are way too low as I got one with really low specs well built just sad parts.

[spark lichen]

oh i see, i feel like starforge is prob the safest since they push their marketing ALOT but then id obv be paying more when compared to a place like overclockersUK

also with RAM prices going crazy, how does DDR4 hold up these days

[tidal geyser]

Ddr4 is fine but stopped being produced last year due to its age so the other parts that need it ofc also stopped from what I can tell

[waxen shell]

Prebuilts are cheaper than building it yourself because of ram 🙁

[tidal geyser]

In short your fucked

[tidal geyser]

New prebuilts are fucked too

[waxen shell]

Ok

[spark lichen]

well its just that i have 32GB of 3200mhz ddr4 in my current PC and like, if i can id swap that if it holds up. i dont want to completely fuck myself though so i will buy new stuff if needed

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpsons-end-of-the-world-end-is-near-gif-16593998

[tidal geyser]

What are your specs

[spark lichen]

like rn?

[tidal geyser]

Yus

[spark lichen]

12th gen Intel core i7-12700F
RX 7600XT
32GB ddr4 3200mhz
ASUS rog strix B660-A

[tidal geyser]

Wow

[spark lichen]

so its not terribly old but i am noticing it falling behind on newer titles

[tidal geyser]

You can almost only downgrade if you buy a prebuilts

Slap in a new gpu aka low risk thing too and call it a day

[spark lichen]

would you say the GPU is the current bottleneck of that PC?

[tidal geyser]

Easily also limiting factor is what we use

You can still be cpu limited in some games

Or here is a fun one you can be both cpu and GPU limited in the same game

[spark lichen]

i see, and what GPU would be a reasonable upgrade to the 7600XT for that system?

[tidal geyser]

Many but I would like to know what Psu

[spark lichen]

a 750 watt corsair one iirc

[tidal geyser]

9070 XT or rtx 5070 ti should be nice

[tidal geyser]

Tons of power then

[spark lichen]

thats .... not terrible. i was expecting worse

[tidal geyser]

O it will be worse

Get while there is still old stock

Soon he'll will be opun us all

Corsair launching new 12v-2x6 cable 😄

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cancel-cancelled-done-stamp-gif-17556553

[tired bear]

eu consumer protection law tho

[tidal geyser]

But I thought that cable was perfect

[livid fern]

the cable has thermostat built into it

Universal across all ATX 3.x psus with a native 12v-2x6

[tired bear]

they shuld just do per wire current monitorig on the PSU side

[tidal geyser]

being sued probs cheaper

[livid fern]

Then its not gonna be universal

[tired bear]

wdym

any cable will be monitored

[spark lichen]

is a 5080 just overkill?

is the CPU and ram specs too bad for a 5080

[livid fern]

You need a connection for that
This cable works by just killing the power to the GPU so you get a black screen instead of a melted connector.

Unlike Asrock design which doesnt really work

It does shutdown but its already too late

[sleek ibex]

Jonyguru strikes again

[livid fern]

Price is 20-30$

[tired bear]

https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/wireview-pro-ii-gpu/s-tg-wv-p2

[tidal geyser]

the 5080 could be a nice combo but tbh i would consider rather doing 9070 xt and like a 14700k or something but replacing a cpu is the risky part of a pc.

[livid fern]

Uses connector for monitoring

[tidal geyser]

also the question is do you even need more than a 9070 xt can offer

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/magic-eight-ball-signs-no-gif-12565031

[topaz shale]

does a 9070xt surpass the 3080ti

[tidal geyser]

its about on par with a 5070 ti

[topaz shale]

so barely

[tidal geyser]

but RT i think was around there

[tired bear]

non RT way above 5070 ti

[spark lichen]

i do 1440p and would like as much fps as possible in games so maybe?

[topaz shale]

if as much fps as possible is over 240 you will probably use most of the card

[spark lichen]

(i also need to pick up an OLED monitor because i thought i had one but i did not)

[spark lichen]

1440p highest settings at around 100+ fps is prob where id like to be but ofc thats game dependent

[topaz shale]

i see

[spark lichen]

so i was thinking spending a bit more on a 5080 instead of a 9070xt may be a call

[tidal geyser]

no 3080 ti on here for whatever reason but i would imagine it would be a bit slower than a 3090 so its 20% worse

[topaz shale]

3080ti is generally 3% worse off than 3090 so thats about where it is.

[tidal geyser]

its a decent enough raw uplift but you also get great upscaling and pretty ok frame gen

[topaz shale]

only difference is memory lol

[tired bear]

about 20% more perf than 3080ti

[tidal geyser]

so its about 1/4 worse than a 9070 xt what you call barely

[tidal geyser]

i do not trust that one

[tired bear]

well yea, but generally its correct (techpowerup)

[tidal geyser]

my chart was techpowerup

but the actual review one

[tired bear]

drivers got better

[tidal geyser]

well

[plush wren]

bros receiving it 2 months later

[tidal geyser]

amd drivers right now aint that stable on windows from what i have heard

[tired bear]

im gonna try cachyos when i get my 9070xt

[spark lichen]

hm so like an extra £400 for +13%... maybe worth it for the future? but at that rate id prob need a new CPU...

[tidal geyser]

if you have any issues i can even talk to the main chaps themselves that run it

[tired bear]

neet

[tidal geyser]

btw that is just raster aka what most games use but newer games are moving over to RT aka this

[tired bear]

can it use same game drive as windows?

[tidal geyser]

no nor does it have the same app

[topaz shale]

thats not a bad upgrade for me then

[tidal geyser]

on linux it uses a completely different thing that being mesa

[spark lichen]

oh i see so its even better... hmmm i shall think about it and how much money im willing to spend. i wanna try and do it before the PCpartpocalypse enters full swing

[tidal geyser]

you do also have to be a bit careful not to overdo the gpu but meh worst case your not fully using the gpu in some games

[spark lichen]

the b660 is good enough for a 5080 right?

[tidal geyser]

motherbord does not matter

all that matters is rebar is on

[spark lichen]

is that just for CPU socket types then

[tidal geyser]

btw this is how you upgrade the gpu
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Y2ZG9SrxNo8

[spark lichen]

all GPUs can fit

[tidal geyser]

why is it a short no clue but at least its LTT

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tired bear]

if case is big enough yes

[spark lichen]

oh i may need a new motherboard too, one of the issues i had was the plastic clip came off when i built it, still functions though but i wouldnt wanna put a new card into a broken board

[tidal geyser]

nah its fine

might wanna get a anti sag thing tho

[tidal geyser]

tbh that thing only really matters if you take your pc with you on roadtrips or whatever

[spark lichen]

was thinking about that, how much bigger is a 5080 compared to a 7600XT is what im thinking abt

[tidal geyser]

its not even on the charts i sent

[bold olive]

linus has 16.7 million subs

[tidal geyser]

a 7600 xt is only about 30% of a 9070 xt

[spark lichen]

no i meant like physical size lmao

if itd fit in my case

[tidal geyser]

that is up to the card you chose

[spark lichen]

id have to measure and check

[tidal geyser]

do you have a pcpartpicker list of your pc?

[spark lichen]

naw

[tidal geyser]

make on https://pcpartpicker.com/

[spark lichen]

tbh this starforge one is only like... an extra 200 compared to buying a 5080 and 14700k

with better ram too

[tidal geyser]

wow prices are sad

[spark lichen]

id just straightup put my storage drives into this

[tidal geyser]

yes but i would wipe it

as you would have intel cpu driver stuff on a amd cpu

[tidal geyser]

ok yea easy choice then

[hollow grail]

true but also i had to push the gpu so hard against the case to align it with the port. it was off by 2mm. for some reason, screwing the motherboard and some other stuff made it closer, like 1mm, which is close enough you can just force it,

(but when i was aligning things to screw in, i seemed to be moving things further away from alignment but by some blacck magic it was all good in the end)

[spark lichen]

only thing that concerns me is there not being a second heat sink for the second m.2 slot... is that just a display thing and it will actually come with one?

[tidal geyser]

a good m.2 does not need a heatsink

[spark lichen]

i forgot what drives i got

Crucial P5 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive

and a second 500GB one that i put the OS on

so the crucial would be in the bottom slot

[tidal geyser]

that one should be fine

[orchid vector]

I'm so mad right now, i was going to buy a 5080 on ebay for like 300$ off normal value and it just sold 😢

[tidal geyser]

the computer comes with a 2TB ssd that has windows and the right drivers on it

[tidal geyser]

so 1000$

[spark lichen]

realistically what performance benefits does keeping only the OS and drivers on a seperate drive provide?

[orchid vector]

720GBP

[spark lichen]

because like a 2TB one just for drivers and OS is wild

[orchid vector]

970$

[tidal geyser]

nothing

[spark lichen]

oh lmao thats what i was told to do when building my current PC

[tidal geyser]

here is a fun thing, you can even install games on it

[tidal geyser]

like 20 years ago SSDs were so small you could only really fit your OS on it

now a days most datacenters are full of SSDs since they are so cheap fast and low power

[civic socket]

Got the genuine pkcell mates

[spark lichen]

so if i do decide to get it, id prob take the GPU out, put in my 500GB one and copy over the stuff i want, then put in my current 2TB one. im going to assume there will be space to put a hard drive

do most BIOS software default boot drive the m.2 slot closest to the CPU yeah?

[tidal geyser]

with windows it does not matter it will see both drives

[spark lichen]

the only bad thing about this is being forced into windows 11

[tidal geyser]

also btw if there is anything worth trasfering over store it somewhere safe as a backup

[spark lichen]

i like windows 10

[tidal geyser]

windows 11 is fine

[spark lichen]

wdym, like after i transfer just keep the drive as it is and dont wipe it/get rid of it?

[tidal geyser]

that is one way but i would maybe invest in some cloud option for data storage

[spark lichen]

oh theres nothing that important on them

i just wanna do it to save having to download it all again

[tidal geyser]

how slow is your internet

what i tend to do is just let the games download over night

wait

aint the games already downloaded on the 2TB ssd you have?

[spark lichen]

not bad at all, and now you mention it local data transfer is prob gonna be slower than redownloading it no?

[tacit star]

I wouldn't

Too little reviews and doesn't provide real images

[spark lichen]

yeah, on my 500gb one i just have programs i want open on startup, but again i could just write them down and download them again

[tidal geyser]

its what i do

here is a fun little program
https://ninite.com/

[bold olive]

gulp

[spark lichen]

oh nice, ill keep this noted for if/when i need it. still havent fully decided yet

thank you for all the help tho, i appreciate it

[acoustic fjord]

Anyone understand why my fps is so screwed

Also why I can't install 16gb of ran

[tidal geyser]

why does it look like windows 7

[frosty ruin]

Big cooling

The prices are all over the place rn

[tidal geyser]

well they are all going the same way

[peak swan]

7 year old battery

[tidal geyser]

yup

li-ion my beloved

[frosty ruin]

The astral 5080 price was 1000€ 3 months ago

I actually considered to buy it

But no Micron needs to do this

[gaunt spade]

i just love amd so much

[tidal geyser]

DDU and install 25.6.1

[tidal geyser]

micron was tiny af

hynix and samsung were still the big ones

[frosty ruin]

I got micron infected gpu and dram

[peak swan]

less than half used up in 4 hours isn't bad tho

[merry nest]

feel asleep early what was the big announcement for the future of wan show

[tidal geyser]

well question is what were you doing

[gaunt spade]

i literally just did that

[tidal geyser]

what game

as amd tends to be pretty clear when its their fault

[gaunt spade]

rdr2

[tidal geyser]

remeber you also have a cpu, ram and ssd

[gaunt spade]

its specific to ERR_GFX_STATE and itsa vulkan/pipelinecache problem

[frosty ruin]

Vulkan is not stable in some cases if you didnt notice it by now

use DirectX11 or 12

[gaunt spade]

yea it dosent work

[tidal geyser]

dx12 does not work?

[gaunt spade]

nope

[frosty ruin]

Does it have warranty

[gaunt spade]

what has warranty

[frosty ruin]

GPU

[gaunt spade]

gpus not at fault

[trim schooner]

my bum ass bought the kraken instead of the kraken elite or the Z73

[tidal geyser]

all of the above bad

[tidal geyser]

and only rdr2 has issues?

[bold olive]

i would have bought the aqua elite 360

[gaunt spade]

yes and the ERR_GFX_STATE is a rdr2 issue

[tidal geyser]

i would have used air

[gaunt spade]

i tried every fix

[tidal geyser]

"RDR 2 has a memory leal bug on Vulkan. I seem to have gotten rid of it, but it was a huge issue on some drivers.

If you can't get a driver that does not have it, you can still play, but you have to monitor your VRAM usage then save and reload to clear the VRAM, when it gets almost fully utilized."

[gaunt spade]

what

[tidal geyser]

funky

could try to ddu and update the drivers until you stop seeing it if you stop seeing it.

i never had any issues on my card but switched to linux anyways

[bold olive]

give me a reason why i should use linux over windows

[tidal geyser]

interesting

[gaunt spade]

its not a driver issue

[tidal geyser]

cant play fortnite or battlefield

[gaunt spade]

its game issue

[tidal geyser]

tried what the chap in the pic says

[bold olive]

not like i have money for games anyways

[gaunt spade]

yep

[tidal geyser]

yea see

[bold olive]

does it have zoom 💀

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[bold olive]

i was thinking of dualboot

but i felt no reason to use linux

[tidal geyser]

zoom has a native linux client but i cant send the link

[bold olive]

g

[tidal geyser]

sad no arch

[bold olive]

more than 0

[tidal geyser]

the one in the AUR is out of date

[bold olive]

well i have no reason to change to Linux at all

i literally dont

[white sphinx]

sad no steamOS

[frosty ruin]

Linux on PS4

[tidal geyser]

runs like shit since its not made for linux

[frosty ruin]

[bold olive]

real

[white sphinx]

Linux on ibm 5150 when

[tidal geyser]

i am fairly certain we might see KAC games on steamOS

[gaunt spade]

and also the pipeline things come up again after deleting them and the ignorepipelines dont work

[tidal geyser]

o well pc ports are as stable as cheese i guess

[bold olive]

im keeping my windows 11 and my professional license ig

[tidal geyser]

simply ignore it

-ignorepipelinecache

[white sphinx]

KAC is unfortunately just something we gotta deal with to an extent. Hopefully valve takes some measures though

[gaunt spade]

yea i tried that and it dosent work

[tidal geyser]

fyi only steamos would have it

signed driver things

[white sphinx]

Yeah makes sense

I dont think the rest of the linux community would be that supportive over KAC becoming even available on their systems

(For good reason)

[frosty ruin]

Did you contact rockstar support

Maybe they could help

[bold olive]

do it again

[gaunt spade]

haha funny

[gaunt spade]

try what again

[bold olive]

-ignorepipelinecache

[gaunt spade]

its still there

it dosent get deleted

[bold olive]

sudo rm rf no preserve root the game

[gaunt spade]

what

[bold olive]

reinstall it?

[frosty ruin]

Theres levels to it man
