[weak osprey]

[hoary tree]

There's this tweet going around of Ethan Nestor who is unable to reset his pin because he ran a "debloat" script which deleted msedge which is required for resetting the pin after a bios update

[gaunt spade]

[random gyro]

no

[fallen sky]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-bob-blob-stare-gif-1160213367645308177

[weak osprey]

For networking I use tailscale

[hoary tree]

The only reason these people be having major issues with windows is because they are messing with the system files and doing "debloating"

[random gyro]

i connect to my schools wifi and i heard that u can get a virus

a worm i think its called

[fallen sky]

Uhhhhh not really

[random gyro]

ah thats why i dont have any issues

[hoary tree]

Because having been using windows for my whole time using computers, ive never had issues with windows

[weak osprey]

Your school is safe

[random gyro]

[random gyro]

[fringe prairie]

[hoary tree]

Because im not a masochist and because I want my things to actually work

[fringe prairie]

[random gyro]

why wont people just stick to what works already?

[fringe prairie]

free will. i’ll try what i want 🤷‍♂️

i don’t have an issue with windows i just wanna try linux

[random gyro]

also guys is logitech a good brand to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse from

[weak osprey]

This tbh, half the time it breaks shit and the other half the person writing the script didn’t know anything

[sinful cobalt]

no

[weak osprey]

I like the g502 personally

Good feel, lil heavy

[random gyro]

my beloved

do you know if bluetooth keyboard and mouse connect to a ps5?

[weak osprey]

Hero or light speed

[random gyro]

i had a hero which my cat somehow chewed through the cable, didnt have the money to buy another one sadly so i got a g203 instead :(

[weak osprey]

I grabbed the hero cause I don’t wanna deal with charging and disconnecting

[limpid ivy]

Had the OG one and g304 until some employee stole at a company I was doing onsite support for. Was decent

[gaunt spade]

[fringe prairie]

[limpid ivy]

But they bought me a g502 X Plus

[weak osprey]

It lined up around the same time he lost the beard

[random gyro]

[gaunt spade]

statisticly all my amd gpus have more problems then nvidia i build pcs

[fallen sky]

I had an rx550, 6700xt, and now 9060xt 16gb.. all lovely

[random gyro]

@weak osprey youre cool, um may i add u? :>

sorry LTT fans but i dont like LTT as much anymore

[weak osprey]

Huh, really

[gaunt spade]

wich time

[weak osprey]

Sure, I never talk here tho js got bored

[gaunt spade]

yes

[random gyro]

yay

[weak osprey]

Eh? It’s happened more than once now

[sinful cobalt]

statistically amd driver timeouts have told me to fuck off more than nvidia’s

[random gyro]

do u think its cute though? :>

is the steamdeck worth buying in yalls opinion

[spare tendon]

Yes
Best lazy device of all time

[weak osprey]

A crash every 25 hours in fine with taking that risk

[spare tendon]

Plus spider-man and Fallout 4 in bed makes me happy

[fallen sky]

even cuter could be a raspberry pi

could? Nah would

[shut eagle]

i figured that the switch 2 just has terrible handling of hdr

[spare tendon]

Make it run on a Apple Watch

[random gyro]

whats one tech company everyone heard of 15 years ago but no one hears today

[random gyro]

was gonna originally do pi but too expensive

[fallen sky]

the 8gb 5 is cheap

[shut eagle]

ibm

[fallen sky]

like $100 or so

[random gyro]

these mini pcs are only 30 bucks (with windows 10, 32gb storage chip, and 4gb ddr4)

[shut eagle]

damn

[weak osprey]

In my limited frame of reference my amd card had a lot better drivers and software. However my nvidia card was als an 1660 ti. Please note I am saying that I do not know everything and what I am saying is based on a prolly skewed dataset lol

[random gyro]

and raspberry pis cost like...100

[gaunt spade]

i think so

[fallen sky]

Cheap

[random gyro]

which is basically my entire budget for this project

[weak osprey]

I really hate GeForce experience tbh

[fallen sky]

flip the budget

[random gyro]

the goat

[random gyro]

cant, short on cash

[shut eagle]

I don't like it very much but RTX HDR is incredible

[fallen sky]

Job

[random gyro]

i have one.

[fallen sky]

Work

[spare tendon]

Honestly put a Linux distro and you got a good browser laptop

[shut eagle]

[spare tendon]

Or de Google-fy it

[random gyro]

i use google xd

[fallen sky]

Tf with all of the emojis

[random gyro]

100 bucks is a lot

i thought everybody used google

[random gyro]

i got it for free

[random gyro]

eh, switched to brave a while ago

[shut eagle]

he meant de-google it by using a linux distro

[weak osprey]

The search engine or the browser

[simple holly]

Where on techpowerup can I find these graphs I tried searching for it 😭 and I just can’t seem to find it. I was sent this by a friend and now he’s offline

[shut eagle]

same, best browser i've ever used

[random gyro]

i live in a third world country ;-;

[spare tendon]

I just hate ChromeOS

[serene pumice]

Was firefox+ublock origin too long to google for?

[fallen sky]

[weak osprey]

What I use

[random gyro]

i watch ads

😭🙏

[gaunt spade]

linux technological tips uploaded 6x framegen video

[spare tendon]

Same
I use Safari tho on my phone and Mac tho

[random gyro]

didnt LTT say ad blocking is piracy

[weak osprey]

I’m fine with video ads I js don’t like all the tile ads

[gaunt spade]

bro listens to ltt

[random gyro]

firefox good too

[spare tendon]

By a technicality it is
But I do it because it literally makes brewing the web worse

[random gyro]

also if yall didnt know fridges have ads now

is my bed gonna have an ad before i go bed now 😭

[weak osprey]

My poor jaw

[random gyro]

hell, id take opera gx over google which is saying a ton

[weak osprey]

Why have you made it drop

[gaunt spade]

if 6x framegen comes to 50 series will 4x come to 40

[spare tendon]

Grabbing my insulin
HEY DO YOU WANNA SEE SOME NIKE SHOES??!?

[simple holly]

?

[fallen sky]

?

[spare tendon]

Probably not, use Lossless Scaling tho for 3-4x frame gen

[cold skiff]

Every time I watch GN

[random gyro]

after you pay the ludicrous amount of cash for one?

[gaunt spade]

loseless is complicated

[weak osprey]

You don’t own it, you’re purchasing a license to use it

[random gyro]

i think its as rockstar ceo said no one wants to be the first one to charge a lot of money or do something now that samsungs done it other companies will follow

[spare tendon]

It isn’t very complicated?
But I’ve been working with stuff like that for years

[cold skiff]

A fridge is a good deal

[gaunt spade]

so 5050 is now a 4080 cuz 6x framegen right

[cold skiff]

Wrong. Rockstar unfairly sack their work force to try and keep prices lower and profits higher

[spare tendon]

https://youtu.be/7SgA7M_XhQw?si=PZ8smuvku-XLOr5I

[random gyro]

the smart fridge? oh my

[fallen sky]

67

[weak osprey]

Yall should take a look at mappa

[hidden hill]

Wait so 6x frame gen and dlss 4.5 are live tomorrow? So I can go ahead and reap the benefits in games that support the override?

[random gyro]

when

[random gyro]

can i use this to give my laptop 3050 a hand? hehe

[gaunt spade]

i think its live now

[hidden hill]

The Linus video had me sold because the upscaling looks so much better in terms of artifacting

[spare tendon]

Yes, actually
Gives you smoother frames

[hidden hill]

And the lighting improvements are sick too

[spare tendon]

On Steam for $7

[random gyro]

linus should do a collab with marques brownlee

[hidden hill]

Is the dynamic frame gen something that you can only do with supported games?

If only I could force frame gen into bg3

[random gyro]

drop tips with school zone?

[spare tendon]

Lossless scaling

[random gyro]

to be fair i met mrwhosetheboss before he was famous he seemed a good guy idk if hes still nice though

[weak osprey]

Salary.

[gaunt spade]

what

[hidden hill]

Pretty bad ghosting sometimes with it, currently I’m just using smooth motion because it’s the cleanest option to do it

Obviously that’s a 50 series thing though

[spare tendon]

Makes sense
I use it mostly for emulation or Steam Deck games

[hidden hill]

Yep I used it all the time on my old pc

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/mkbhd-marques-marques-brownlee-lambo-lamborghini-gif-2656198473045183593

[hidden hill]

Now I use it basically just on the steam deck

Totally worth the 6 dollars for sure

[random gyro]

YAY someone gets my reference!

[spare tendon]

Best update for the deck in a long time honestly

[random gyro]

(i need to get some better help, get it?)

marques does take criticism very well though

the guy did genuinely apologise for his wallpaper app and his speeding

[hidden hill]

I mean he seems like a good dude, nobody is infallable

[random gyro]

he is a nice person

[spare tendon]

Building a PC in a School Zone? (Crazy!)

Btw is anyone using a 50 series card rn? Too lazy to get out of bed but I wanted to see if the new stuff is in the nvidia app already

[random gyro]

no one ever buys prime

[cold skiff]

You living under a rock fam? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp89990rgdno.amp

[random gyro]

logan cannot accept the fact that prime is doing bad

[hidden hill]

Wonder if you can just override games into 6x from the menu already

[somber zealot]

probably not

[random gyro]

o didnt se

[hidden hill]

I’m also curious if the new dlss preset is called L or something lol

[random gyro]

dont amazon do union busting too

[cold skiff]

They delayed GTA6 because a handful we’re senior leaders in their departments

[weak osprey]

Potato, medium, high, ultra high, I paid for the whole gpu

[random gyro]

rockstar will just pay like 1 mil or something

its pocket change for them

[cold skiff]

They’re paying more than 1 mil for delaying. It’s probably nearer a billion

[random gyro]

it might get delayed further

[weak osprey]

Subnautica 2 still fucked?

[cold skiff]

Oh yeah

[somber zealot]

hopefully not

[weak osprey]

Last I heard Kraft on was using ai to dispute unknown worlds

[somber zealot]

was excited for it

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/sam-altman-openai-chatgpt-ai-chat-gpt-gif-10037759480492465279

[cold skiff]

I didn’t say it, but the staff are working at “relative pace” now and not working extra hours due to Kraftons treatment of them

[tidal geyser]

Did you even read what they said, they will but it's just out of stock

[gaunt spade]

forest 3 similar enough

[weak osprey]

I love Subnautica lol. Nitrox mod is amazing but I wish Subnautica 2 didn’t have all this drama lol

[cold skiff]

Like $20mil of bonuses pulled from underneath them by Krafton so don’t blame the devs on Sub2

[random gyro]

goodnight yall

[random gyro]

mmm sugar water

[weak osprey]

Avg bug experience

[somber zealot]

Yeahh, same

[gaunt spade]

is 6x out already or not

[spare tendon]

Nope

[weak osprey]

Ever used the nitrox mod?

It’s multiplayer and it’s great lol

[gaunt spade]

no info when release

i wanna see 5050 6x

[somber zealot]

No

I’ve wanted to

[weak osprey]

You should look into it lol, me and a friend really enjoyed it

[somber zealot]

does it work on both games?

[weak osprey]

How do you mean?

It’s a multiplayer mod

[somber zealot]

below zero and 1st game

[weak osprey]

Ah

Okay so Nitrox doesn’t have bz support, but there is another mod for bz I think it was just called like “Subnautica below zero multiplayer” or smth

Not a creative name lol

[somber zealot]

lol

I’ll try it out sometime

If I get my friend to download it

[tidal geyser]

Wait a moment why is the c class igpu called b390

[weak osprey]

Alright, mister blahaj says bedtime, goodnight people. See yall next time I talk here lol

[tidal geyser]

I should have gone to bed way earlier

[rigid fjord]

i uh, probably should have done that 9 or so hours ago

[tidal geyser]

I might be kinda late for school

[weak osprey]

Now ur committed

Also Haii

[drowsy isle]

Going to come out this spring but the transformer 2 model is out right now and it’s pretty damn good

"free version of spotify premium"

i do not think that is how economics work

nah theres like cracked spotifys, and you just get ad free with like a extension or smth

[tidal geyser]

but how would the creators of said music be able to eat

ill delete

but no...

ima js assume yt links a no go, mb

[tidal geyser]

talking about it too

[uncut bronze]

hmm, k well er is there a way to quickly check if downloads are safe, ive checked through comments on video and gone through most, (ik its not a reliable source as fake comments)

[tidal geyser]

the same way you check for malware in anything you download, virus total

[fringe prairie]

there are

check ebay for zbook ultra g1a’s

not hard to find

[tidal geyser]

2300£

[fringe prairie]

oh UK it’s 1950

https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=A3ZH3ET&opt=ABU&sel=NTB

64gb tho

[dawn saffron]

how much is the new laptop that asus is releasing in ces ?

[fringe prairie]

which one

[prime oriole]

https://youtu.be/rh-RM30i-yg?si=OP_PBm9RR-Qm5Bmx new DLSS model looks really good

Any of you tested the performance impact compared to Preset K? At work so haven't had the chance yet

[tidal geyser]

i do not have a nvidia gpu

[dawn saffron]

will older laptop models get cheaper with the new laptops coming in or will they remain the same ?

[tidal geyser]

das how it works yes

[dawn saffron]

well might be interested in a 4070gpu laptop

[tidal geyser]

the issue is laptops not built like crap

if you want a super thin, light and long lasting laptop it tends to come with a very neutered dgpu

and ofc costs a few arms and legs

[fringe prairie]

the only exception to this is the zephyrus lineup and the yoga pro

although asus eh

[tidal geyser]

aint zephyrus very spensive

[fringe prairie]

yes

[tidal geyser]

i really wonder how the b390 compares now as iv heard both 3050 or 4050

and those are 2 very different gpus

[fringe prairie]

oh apparently msi and dell are making zephyrus competitors now

[tidal geyser]

noice

[fringe prairie]

and they have models with more than 8gb vram

[tidal geyser]

ah das true too

[serene pumice]

its immoral to pay för digital goods

[tidal geyser]

due to the whole dgpus not having a fun time when vram is filled i wonder how different some games might be on a 32GB pantherlake thing vs like a 5070 being 8GB in mobile stuff

[serene pumice]

stay ethical. always pirate

[tidal geyser]

its funny the fbi recommends using a ad blocker

[dawn saffron]

super thin laptops are either underpowered or time bomb

[prime oriole]

We'll find out soon
The B390 is close to the 3050/3050Ti iirc but that's only in synthetic benchmarks which Arc has usually done pretty well in

[serene pumice]

the only ads I like
is when the local grocery store have sms coupons for half price for Pepsi Max ads

[prime oriole]

Hopefully the statement about Xe3/Xe3P focussing on shader occupancy turns out to be true

[dense escarp]

can i share links in here? for a YT short?

[tidal geyser]

i have tons of em and uh the pd chip on the x1 carbon gen 9 is just shit but not a issue of its size

[tidal geyser]

why?

[dense escarp]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jzvWwfZuqOg

[tidal geyser]

cringe

[dense escarp]

this is the dude overclocking with his GPU out the window lol

[molten patrol]

should i be surprised? 🤔

[dense escarp]

nah, but someone mentioned trying this in sub zero weather as a joke

[stray portal]

If my mouse can do both 2.4ghz and bluetooth which one should i use

Bluetooth would be kinda wasteful since my mouse has high polling rate so bluetooth will waste it

[tidal geyser]

you answered your own question

[dense escarp]

just use 2.4ghz

[stray portal]

Im just so smart

Razer Orochi v2 has 1000hz polling rate

🤑 So tuff mouse

[tidal geyser]

any respectable mouse has that

[grizzled frost]

1000hz is the bare minimum

most good mice go up to 8000hz

[tidal geyser]

no just razer has one and that mode makes the pc die

[grizzled frost]

i’ve seen several with up to 8000hz polling

not that it makes sense to actually use

[tidal geyser]

yea was gonna say but had to do something irl

[stray portal]

My current one has it even

But idk what it ive been using it on

[dense escarp]

i pulled the trigger and ordered my case and AIO. last parts i needed for my new build

[tired bear]

maybe yall are confusing hz with dpi

[stray portal]

Tbf anything over 2000hz is useless and just wasting battery life

[grizzled frost]

i am not

[tidal geyser]

nope

dpi is at what 32k or smn now a days

but who tf needs that

[grizzled frost]

exactly what i was about to say lol

[tired bear]

spinbotting

[tidal geyser]

why not eveything at the same time?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2aimbot-spinbot-sniper-crossfire-target-spinning-revolving-gif-17797578

[dense escarp]

cuz im not dropping $1800 at once. i got bills n shit fam

[tidal geyser]

why not save up and then do it?

[grizzled frost]

only things i ordered independent of my main PC order were GPU and case, but that’s because they were limited inventory items that had very irregular stock

[winter lantern]

Is a 2050 the worst possible rtx

[tidal geyser]

in the end its still 1800

just that you get a ton of parts you cant use

[tidal geyser]

consumer wise yes

[stray portal]

I use my mouse at 800 dpi

[dense escarp]

it doesn't matter anymore. Last two parts come in tomorrow

[stray portal]

And only change sensitivity in some games

I dont get people with high dpi its just painful to use it for me

[tidal geyser]

i ordered my gpu about 2 weeks after building my pc as i needed to sell my old pc

so igpu gaming on a 7800X3D, and tbf not THAT bad

[grizzled frost]

i ordered my GPU before anything else because i managed to find a 4080S fe for a good price

[dense escarp]

also, im purchasing stuff on sale or when the opportunity for a good deal presents itself. i saved at least $1200 doing it this way

[tidal geyser]

its kinda funny i plan on selling that to go full igpu

[tidal geyser]

the super was not even out when i bought my xtx

[grizzled frost]

my case is also a boutique case that’s only produced in limited quantities, so i bought that when it happened to be in stock

[tidal geyser]

3k build, so you have a 5090 and 9800X3D?

[grizzled frost]

otherwise, everything was purchased at once in one big order

[dense escarp]

nah. 5070ti 9800X3D dont need 4k build

[tidal geyser]

wut

you claim 3k for a 5070 ti and 9800X3D build

3 or 4 months ago you could do that for like 1.5k or about

[stray portal]

i dont think so

[grizzled frost]

the fuck you mean you don’t think so, yes you could

quite easily at that

[tidal geyser]

5070 ti was like 720$, 9800X3D around 500 and the other parts did not cost that much so ok yea add like 200-300$ more

[stray portal]

In 2024 i bought my pc for roughly 1350 euros it has 7800xt and 5700x

From what i know stuff got more expensive

[dense escarp]

yeah well, missed the window for buying ram. but i still saved money on it. was priced 907 and i got it for 310 after tax

got the 5070ti for 599 and 9800 for 410 after tax

[tidal geyser]

wait i can try and find me some old lists i made

[stray portal]

My pc now costs almost 2000 euros because gpu price increase, ram price increase and such

[grizzled frost]

my ram alone went up 900usd

[tidal geyser]

1700$
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z6jqYd

late last year even

[dense escarp]

lmao thats not a 9800 build

[stray portal]

Can i get rtx 710 for 1 dollars

[dense escarp]

$2100

[tidal geyser]

i know now

[dense escarp]

and its a b650 board.

[tidal geyser]

does it matter?

anyhow im trying to find 9800X3D 5070 ti lists as i made a few but the post never fkn says the price it was at that time so leme try and find one where it does

[dense escarp]

if good IO and the fact that b650 chipset is discontinued isn't important, then no it doesnt matter

[grizzled frost]

discontinued but still supported for years to come

[cosmic stratus]

Can someone tell me who and what developers are actually using frame gen as an excuse for bad optimization

[tidal geyser]

good io?

[cosmic stratus]

And I mean explicitly

[dense escarp]

connection ports on the back, IO

[tidal geyser]

i would call 7 usb-a and 1 usb c pretty ok io

and i think blue ones are 5gig and red are 10gig

4x USB 2.0 (Front)
4x USB 5Gbps Type A (Rear)
2x USB 5Gbps Type A (Front)
3x USB 10Gbps Type A (Rear)
1x USB 10Gbps Type C (Front)
1x USB 20Gbps Type C (Rear)

o yea more internal ones too

it even has 2.5gig ethernet

[mint umbra]

My company had a new safety training video for the production workers and it was all ai

We really are doomed

[dense escarp]

12 + 2 + 1 arrangement as well. not the best for overclocking with good temps

also no gen 5 m.2

not the worst board tho

[tidal geyser]

does litteraly noting more than like 0.1sec faster load times for gaming

[dense escarp]

you're not wrong, but also is it wrong to splurge a bit?

[tidal geyser]

o well i got nothing conclusive other than reading backwards of my old lists it would have been closer to 1800-2000

[tidal geyser]

ofc not but uh 3k for that kinda build is still a bit much

[dense escarp]

which is why i didnt spend 3k lol

[tidal geyser]

true

[dense escarp]

its about getting more value out of what im spending

[tidal geyser]

o well, in the end its still gonna be a fine pc

might even be able to use zen 7 on that board

[dense escarp]

i did fk up not buying ram earlier tho. but still, 64gb for $280 is an amazing deal right now. was priced at $907.99

and a 5070ti for $599 is amazing in it of itself

but yeah, its an overbuilt 1440p rig

[tidal geyser]

how did you manage the 5070 ti for dat

[dense escarp]

benefits of working at a big box retailer

and being a good worker to the point where the managers and supervisors favor you

[untold crow]

Good evening guys

[dense escarp]

if the 5070ti was priced better than the 9070xt i think it would be more popular

[untold crow]

Guys is this worth 200 dollars

[dense escarp]

yeah i would say so. depends on the CAS Latency though

[tidal geyser]

well the whole point of the 9070 xt was to be cheaper so much so amd had to edit their presentation right before release to change the price

[fringe prairie]

it currently is

$799 vs $749 for a 9070xt

[untold crow]

It’s used tho

[fringe prairie]

that $50 extra is easily worth it

[tidal geyser]

ask for the receipt

[dense escarp]

i would have gotten 9070xt if i wasnt able to get the 5070ti for 599

[dense escarp]

wtf fr?

[untold crow]

Is it good in general

[tidal geyser]

its 3600MT 2x32 kit

[untold crow]

200 dollars for 64 gb ram

[tidal geyser]

with rgb too

[tidal geyser]

ddr4 tho

best cpu for gaming would be either 14900k or 5800X3D on that

[dense escarp]

Depends on the GPU as well though

[somber zealot]

if you have an AM4 build, yes

[untold crow]

Ddr4 5800x3d and 5070ti

Is good?

[dense escarp]

5800x3d cost more than a 9800x3d lol

[tidal geyser]

well there was a 5800X3D with a am4 board and 32GB ddr4 on ebay for 400 not that long ago

[untold crow]

I honestly could never trust ebay

[tidal geyser]

last time i checked the 5800X3D should be around 400$

[untold crow]

Anything but ebay

[tidal geyser]

well the 5800X3D has not been made for 2 years

[fringe prairie]

wow as i say this it drops to $659

well then

[dense escarp]

worth. but unless you're getting that bundle deal, its not worth spending that much for the 5800x3d

[tidal geyser]

also ebay literally has buyers protection

[prime oriole]

You already have the 5800X3D or an AM4 board?

[dense escarp]

lol where at?

[grizzled frost]

at this point, i trust ebay more than amazon

[fringe prairie]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-challenger-rx9070xt-cl-16g-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814930145?

apparently this

[untold crow]

No I’m planning

[dense escarp]

yeah i see it

[stray portal]

Yes its very good

[prime oriole]

Id honestly just buy a 14600K and LGA1700 D4 board if you haven't already got an AM4. It'll be cheaper than sourcing a 5800X3D

[tidal geyser]

just look at the fkn laptop i got, was sold as dead no worke and it just works no other issue than a snapped hinge

[stray portal]

Get a 5700x3d instead, big price difference but basically same performance

[tidal geyser]

well ok i had issues with windows but meh linux works without any issues

[tidal geyser]

yea for a lot of games i do think the 14600k might win but ofc others the 5800X3D/5700X3D is still dam good but not that price good

[untold crow]

That’s Ryzen what

[dense escarp]

i think intel is the better buy right now for a ddr4 build

[tidal geyser]

intel best buy for igpu :3

[stray portal]

You could also get a 12700k

[untold crow]

Can u send me an amazon link

[tidal geyser]

i do not think the 5700X3D is even made anymore

[fringe prairie]

yes

it is

[dense escarp]

im gonna get some sleep now. got work in a bit

[grizzled frost]

most zen3 production is discontinued

Sim it's 07:25, why are you going to sleep

[tidal geyser]

forgot to hit reply

[dense escarp]

ill send u guys a pic of all my parts when i gather them all in one spot.

its 4:25am here btw

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-hug-anime-hug-elf-fern-gif-17460858972563257492

[grizzled frost]

at that point just pull an all nighter

[tidal geyser]

some sleep better than non

nah. even just 4 hours of sleep is good.

dont have to wake up until 11am

anyway, cya.

[grizzled frost]

Sim, are you gonna use the 6x FG?

[tidal geyser]

well a bit hard on a 7900 XTX

[grizzled frost]

Sim, you gonna sell your kidney for a 50 series card and use 6x fg?

[tidal geyser]

but i do plan on maybe getting a e-gpu and slapping in a 5060 ti or smn

[tidal geyser]

nah im gonna sell the semi paper weigh of a desktop computer i have that does tasks a raspberry pi can do

[grizzled frost]

i'm tempted to see what DLSS 4.5 looks like in CP2077

[tidal geyser]

nvidia has way too much money

[grizzled frost]

they claim that the fidelity is a full generation better than DLSS 4.0

[tidal geyser]

i think the egpu thing i wanna do might net more fps with a sprinkle of upscaling here and a little more sprinkling of frame gen there on cyberpunk to beat my 7900 XTX

[winter lantern]

5060 gonna beat it with mfg trust

[tidal geyser]

i dono about 5060 but a 5060 ti 16GB maybe maybe

[grizzled frost]

yeah with a shitload more latency

even NVIDIA admits the latency is worse

[winter lantern]

This is why you watch gameplay

Instead of actually play it

Just look at the graphs

[tidal geyser]

yup

i wanna try it before i say much

[grizzled frost]

if even NVIDIA is admitting the latency is higher, it's gonna be a bit worse than they are willing to admit

[prime oriole]

When I got my 5080 one of the first games I tried was cyberpunk with path tracing enabled. I used mfg 3x to get over 120fps. Was surprised at how good it felt considering the frame gen. The latency wasn't so bad. Probably because I came from an RX 6800 XT and we all know how poorly paced the FSR frame generation is

[grizzled frost]

CP2077 really isn't designed to run with PT, RT high is the most i would actually run

with DLSS 4 i noticed some pretty noticeable artifacting

[tidal geyser]

probs now with transformer v2 they should be gone

or at least mostly

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i'll have to see, whether or not I notice DLSS really depends on the game for me

[prime oriole]

I'm excited to test dlss 4.5 when I get home. Gonna put it to use on expedition 33 and horizon forbidden West

[grizzled frost]

some of them i don't notice at all, some of them it's abhorrent and i can't tolerate it

my first thing is gonna be DLSS 4.5 on CP2077, since i'm already so familiar with DLSS 4 on CP2077

[tidal geyser]

to anyone testing this out

https://github.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/blob/c653f2eafe2297dece8c8f76af39f73cf39f1bac/doc/DLSS_Programming_Guide_Release.pdf

[serene pumice]

Just use real frames lol

Bet you guys keep the "image motion" processing enabled on your TVs as well

[tidal geyser]

it is real frames

just missing some pixels

6x frame gen is still a while out

what is funwolf typing

[flat cliff]

I tried googling this but I either get links to outer display screen protectors, or videos about the Samsung screen protector that's preapplied on those folds.

I am on a pixel 9 pro fold, it came excellent refurbished yesterday and other then one small tiny scratch on the back that would be covered up by even a dbrand skin it looks clean like new.

I assumed just leave it folded as much as possible and maybe get a screen protector for the outside if I even feel like it but even in my pocket closed it looks like felt or lint or whatever shows up on the inner display when I take it out of my phone.

So TLDR, maybe with how soft the display is I get a screen protector but how safe are they? I've seen some reddit posts going either way but if its not good is is just to much pressure on the screen with to thick a screen protector?

Using speakers that are meant to be used with a tv on my desk is so overkill and I love it

[grizzled frost]

studio monitors>

[sleek fulcrum]

You guys were right. The thermal is gone to crap on my gpu. Going to clean first with alcohol and readd paste now. Isn't as hard as i thought it to be

[wheat torrent]

Not so much worried about the weight, I'm wonder if the shape will allow me to do micro adjustments with my fingers

On some big mice it's harder

[grizzled frost]

replace those crusty pads while you're at it

[sleek fulcrum]

You mean thw long steps?

[grizzled frost]

the long grey thermal pads

[sleek fulcrum]

Those are actually not dry at all,

[grizzled frost]

that pad at the bottom of the cooler looks a bit mangled

[somber zealot]

or u put some awesomely cool custom water cooler on it

[sleek fulcrum]

Ya it is slightly broken that one

[somber zealot]

and/or stack 5 5090s with a custom cooler

saw some guy on YouTube do that 💔

[grizzled frost]

2070 is worth less than the cost of a custom loop

[somber zealot]

It’s gonna look cool though

[grizzled frost]

6 rtx pro 6000 blackwells would look cooler

[sleek fulcrum]

So tell me, if i remove that broken strip, I just use paste in place, or ill need a new pad strip (which i dont have)

[somber zealot]

perhaps

[fickle ivy]

Meant to reply to this shit

[somber zealot]

fire

war thunder is buns until u have a few hundred/thousand hours

aka until u have jet fighters

[stray portal]

So cool

What mouse is that

[fickle ivy]

Let me check rq

Logitech M720

I have 2 mice tho

[stray portal]

🤔

One for each hand

[rigid fjord]

liquid cooled ones even better

[sleek fulcrum]

Do I need paste on the pipe side or just chip?

[grizzled frost]

the chip touches the heatpipes, so just the chip is fine

[rigid fjord]

we talking cpu or gpu?

[sleek fulcrum]

Ok

Yes my gpu the paste was crap haha

[rigid fjord]

on the die for sure then

[sleek fulcrum]

And the lower but slightly rip, if i remove entire strip will paste be enough or i need a new pad?

[grizzled frost]

you would need a new pad

if you don't already have replacement pads, don't bother

[sleek fulcrum]

Ok that I dont have then

[grizzled frost]

leave it as is

[rigid fjord]

anything that's not the die, you'd eith use new pads or putty

[sleek fulcrum]

Thank you

[spark lichen]

if it just has like discord and spotify on it, how much of a performance hit is it to have my second monitor be 1440p compared to a 1080p one?

[sleek fulcrum]

Will close it up now

[grizzled frost]

not much

not enough to care

[sleek fulcrum]

I should probably upgrade ny now, but this will bide my time to save up for a good card

[spark lichen]

okay tyty

[cold skiff]

That’s beautiful. I am glad you finally decided to repaste it

[tidal geyser]

just snorted a healthy dose of helpium

[sleek fulcrum]

Thx you@

[azure topaz]

is it any good?

did you try yet

[tidal geyser]

not out yet

[azure topaz]

oh i thought it was out today

[tidal geyser]

upscaling is tho

[cold skiff]

Was it the die or the vram pads that were the issue @sleek fulcrum

[grizzled frost]

no idea, it isn't out, and i don't have a 50 series card to begin with

[azure topaz]

oh i can go try dlss 4.5 ig

[grizzled frost]

DLSS 4.5 is out for the MFG and Upscaling we already had, but no new MFG yet

[tidal geyser]

have fun

[cold skiff]

Oh I just see the original. Yeah was the die like I said. Where as rauko was saying it was the parson your vram

[grizzled frost]

NVIDIA claims the difference from MFG x4 to x6 is 5-7ms of additional latency

[cold skiff]

[grizzled frost]

since they admitted that much, i would expect a bit more in actuality

[azure topaz]

rauko is silly

[cold skiff]

MFG 6x. Ghosting more than a nepobaby looking for a husband who makes a $1million per month

[grizzled frost]

supposedly the ghosting isn't that bad

[prime oriole]

The new iGPU looks promising
12 Xe3 cores vs 16 RDNA3.5 CUs

[grizzled frost]

there's been zero third party testing outside of the CES demos though

[tidal geyser]

i saw the peresentation

[hallow jasper]

its not that complicated

[sleek fulcrum]

@cold skiff it actually didn't take long was first time for me.

[cold skiff]

Ghosting compounds. 6x is going to look rougher than Ozzy Osbourne

[tidal geyser]

fair

[stray portal]

Insignificant ammount but if u have igpu u can plug second monitor into mobo so it doesnt affect the dgpu at all

[grizzled frost]

supposedly DLSS 4.5 has vastly improved it

though that is unconfirmed as there's been no third party testing yet, so hard to say either way

[tidal geyser]

is 2x upscaling just half res

[prime oriole]

The FG and RR components haven't been upgraded yet
The ghosting from SR has been improved

[prime oriole]

I assume so

[hallow jasper]

Latest or Custom Model M for 4K Performance, Custom and Model L for 4K Ultra Performance. You're going to want to use Custom and Model K for normal Quality/balanced/DLAA usage.

[cold skiff]

If MFG 6x looks not too bad. That means MFG 3 or 4x could be the new meta. A complete game changer if quality trends in line

[hallow jasper]

Non-4K gamers using Latest moving forward are at a disadvantage

[hallow jasper]

and here is why https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1q5h14w/psa_do_not_force_latest_preset_with_dlss_45_aka/

[tidal geyser]

the last of us part II getting over 60 fps on a igpu is insane

[cold skiff]

What should 1080 gamers do

[hallow jasper]

buy a better GPU

[prime oriole]

I'm still using Preset M with my 5080

[cold skiff]

It might hit 60 frames but we need to see if it’s playable.

[cold skiff]

I’m playing 1080p by choice

Not because of technical constraints on the gpu

[tidal geyser]

i wanna play on a 7th gen igpu with a 4k screen

[cold skiff]

I love mfg giving access to people who wouldn’t normally be able to play a game. The only danger is AMD then shoves this into a console and poor latency and sluggish gameplay could becomes acceptable

[tidal geyser]

redstone

100% gonna be on next gen consoles

im ok if its a mode but if a game is made in a way where it needs it to run just no

[cold skiff]

Oh it’s gonna happen

Don’t hate the player (dev) hate the game

[tidal geyser]

like 8k gaming on a tv with a console and the tv might support 120hz meh why not slap on some frame gen

[fringe prairie]

peak

[tidal geyser]

you also get mfg on top of this

so take that the way you will

[cold skiff]

8k with frame gen, the increased latency, the controller latency. Damn that’s gonna be like skating on ice

[sleek fulcrum]

just a quick test. i set the fan 100% here are updated results.

[cosmic idol]

Im all for this being as a boost or for people with low end hardware
But if a console needs it to get over that 60fps mark, I think they should focus on other things

[sleek fulcrum]

now i cant find the screenshot from before the fix to see temp differances

found it. wow what a huge differance! it was at 88 temp with hotspot 105, now its at 26 temp with hotspot 41 that is a massive improvement

thanks to everyone for your help again 😄

[cold skiff]

Agreed. That’s the danger I fear in the future. Maybe not for next console release, but definitely after. Using the tech is great but we need something as a baseline. Once we get into full simulation then I wonder, it’s like going down the rabbit hole of chasing more for less and won’t be sustainable

[cold skiff]

What did everyone tell you. Well done mate.

Hopefully you won’t crash any longer and the gpu will be good for the next couple of years

[sleek fulcrum]

I think it'll be much stable now

@hallow jasper @thorny saddle @grizzled frost
Can you tell me how I'm supposed to get at the USB Ports or the power switch on this 10" Rackmount PDU?

[viral kayak]

Someone help please the my motherboard isn’t able to find the windows drive and we can’t figure out how to force it. It is a b760 msi gaming plus WiFi

[carmine yew]

is the drive listed in the bios

[viral kayak]

We can’t find the place jn this bios where it says the drive names

[carmine yew]

it's on the front screen typically

[grizzled frost]

might be able to get to them on a rack without side panels

[viral kayak]

Oh wait it recognizes both the ssd and hdd I have installed in the pc

[carmine yew]

Are they new drives, or are they dragged over from another PC and have windows already installed

[viral kayak]

Pulled from my old pc

[carmine yew]

what was the old pc's cpu

[viral kayak]

7600k

[carmine yew]

maybe

[carmine yew]

they're probably setup for legacy boot

and not uefi / secure boot

win10 or win11

[viral kayak]

Win 10

[carmine yew]

almost guaranteed legacy then. sigh

find the settings for legacy boot and turn them on, and it'll probably work?

[carmine yew]

of course, my rack does have sides

[viral kayak]

We put the bios on legacy mode now and it works

Is there anyways to have them not setup for legacy mode?

[carmine yew]

of course you can't install Win11 in legacy mode

[carmine yew]

proper answer: Wipe the drives, turn on UEFI / Secure Boot and do a clean install of Win11

[viral kayak]

I don’t use win 11 because I think it sucks

[carmine yew]

stop being a whiny baby, and use 11 with current security updates

[white sphinx]

Someone near ish me is selling 4 defective 4k uhd monitors for ~10 bucks each, worth picking up and trying to frankenstein one working? (U32R590CWR)

[viral kayak]

I don’t care about the security updates because I have common sense when browsing the web

[carmine yew]

40 bucks for 4 dead screens?

Assuming not all the panels are smashed, sure

[white sphinx]

Well 60 with shipping and insurance (they they dont get even more broken lol)

[plain cypress]

It's 50 megapixels, but it uses a different debayering system than traditional camera sensors

It's not as good as a traditional Bayer 50mp would be, but it does have advantages over a 12.5mp traditional Bayer sensor of the same size

[grizzled frost]

Really funny artifacting, not sure what i did lol

[plain cypress]

If they all have different defects, go for it

If they all have a dead panel or all have a dead power supply, SoL

[cosmic idol]

You can only kick a ball so far with a spring loaded leg
But you still need a leg there to do it

[carmine yew]

is that arctifacting or is that some of the intentional in game brain fuzzy?

[grizzled frost]

Nope, artifacting

I've played this exact mission several times, this has never happened

[carmine yew]

huh interesting

[white sphinx]

Its being sold by a company, no defect lists, which does kind of suck.

[carmine yew]

(I haven't played cyberpunk in a few years so I don't remember)

[white sphinx]

But they dont look smashed or anything

[grizzled frost]

Okay i restored default settings in the NVIDIA app, lets see now

[white sphinx]

Just «defective»

[carmine yew]

if you can afford to burn the 60? It's worth the gamble imo.

[plain cypress]

Okay now I'm a little sus they may all have the same defect lol

What tkitch said, if you can afford to light $60 on fire, no reason not to

Or, what's like the cheapest used 4k you can find working

I.e., if a used $100 monitor worth the extra over a $60 gamble

[white sphinx]

Fair, i mean worst case i just got a bunch of 19Vdc 3.1A psus for free or whatever

Sent a messags asking if they did any investigating as to what the defects actually are

[tidal geyser]

use cachy package manager download bazzar and discover and its as simple as windows

mostly

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah I really don't have hi hopes for CES this year as its basically buisness to buisness products mainly

[tidal geyser]

aint that how it tends to be

[tulip sparrow]

Use to be semi ok

[tidal geyser]

nah

what does the C stand for

[abstract wigeon]

corporate

[tidal geyser]

no

[tulip sparrow]

May as well be coperate these days

Since buisnesses are consumers as well

[abstract wigeon]

last CES had a few fun things

i couldnt name any of them

[tulip sparrow]

Razer brings something out from time to time but NEVER releases it in nay capacity

3 screen laptop module desktop that sort of thing

[left trellis]

wth lol someone acc looked at the two

https://www.alibaba.com/product-insights/samsung-990-evo-plus-vs-990-pro-is-the-pro-really-worth-the-extra-cash.html

[tulip sparrow]

I am sure Youutube is full of videos looking at the 2 side by side

[left trellis]

yeah probably

[abstract wigeon]

nothing more than youtube thumbnail worthy stuff

[left trellis]

specs wise, looking at the random ips and 4k qd1 latencies theyre pretty darn similar

[left trellis]

also apprently
"Getting to that smaller I/O, though, the 990 EVO Plus has middling 4KB QD1 random read and write latencies. Samsung’s earlier V7 TLC flash — used on the 2TB 990 Pro, which was reviewed before the V8 change — has long been known as having excellent 4K random read performance. V8 is theoretically slower"

[tulip sparrow]

At least with 3 screens we now have options out there jus tnothing built into a laptop really

[left trellis]

anyways boot times after sata are basically just other stuff loading and other checks but that was alr known LOL

I was just curious abt it

[tidal geyser]

HMB really is just such a game changer

[viral kayak]

New pc :)

[cold skiff]

That’s nice for you

[viral kayak]

Now it’s time to save up for a new gpu

[cold skiff]

Not sure what that bottom side fan is cooling with that massive block of plastic blocking any air flow to the side.

Otherwise it looks pretty neat

[tidal geyser]

is this am5 with a 1070 or smnm

[void eagle]

have to figure out how to return a barely used S25 because something about that display did not sit well with my eyes and now i have a headache i have to sleep off so that’s fun

[viral kayak]

14600k with a 1070 (for now)

[cold skiff]

[tidal geyser]

dimming

[void eagle]

wdym dimming

[tidal geyser]

pwm stuff

see if there is some setting for it

[void eagle]

pixel 7 was also oled and didn’t fuck me up

maybe samsung is just far far worse

[cold skiff]

1070 is a needs must. You’ve got a good start

[viral kayak]

I couldn’t afford a brand new gpu or a used 4070 so I’m gonna use the old card until I can afford something better

[cold skiff]

14600k with a 1070 is hella necked

[void eagle]

i miss IPS phones

no need to worry about burn in, natural colours that look good and not stupid vibrant

[civic ferry]

true

[tidal geyser]

they still sell em

[viral kayak]

Point is it works and it’s better than my old cpu

[void eagle]

my ipad from 2020 is by far one of the nicest, most pleasing to the eye displays i’ve used

i would put it above my gaming oled monitor because oled just fucks up colour grading

[viral kayak]

Would look stupid otherwise and well it just brings more fresh air into the case. The box is metal as it’s the psu shroud

[void eagle]

like content looks overblown, or like you see colours when you have a hangover

where everything has its vibrancy cranked past realism or gray levels are off

[viral kayak]

Do they make ips monitors?

[civic ferry]

we still have one
also omg another pone

[void eagle]

they’re a dying breed sadly

[civic ferry]

yeah

[somber zealot]

nice!!

[civic ferry]

we got the Nothing phone 2a and its amoled suffers from green tint

[viral kayak]

I like how low it sits in temps on idle compared to my old cpu and case

[viral kayak]

Thanks :D

[void eagle]

also we have the technology to make oled displays without PWM, who cares if it uses 5 more volts of power

the tech literally exists and gaming monitors are proof of it

[civic ferry]

and the Xiaomi Mi 10T which looks like it has higher resolution and better colors but sucks up so much more battery
like wow
you can't notice the gray blacks but you can notice the battery life being 3 hours screen on time compared to like 10h

[void eagle]

all of them are voltage dimmed OLED panels, all of them have great colours and viewing angles

[viral kayak]

Maybe one day I can afford reverse blade fans and at least a 4070

Is 850w enough for a 4070 and 14600k tho?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[somber zealot]

yeah

[viral kayak]

Is 40 series more efficient than the 30 series?

[somber zealot]

it’s better

[tidal geyser]

that is how it works yes

but the bigger thing is more about transients

[somber zealot]

how much are u looking to spend on a gpu?

[viral kayak]

So gpus from next generation have better power efficiency

[somber zealot]

oh

[tidal geyser]

yes

[void eagle]

technically my display does have a small brightness dip at 240hz but it’s from like 90% brightness to 85% brightness, so the modulation is tiny

[somber zealot]

[viral kayak]

300 is what I have right now but i was gonna save up a little more and see if I could get a 4070

I am in Norway tho so things are a little pricier here

[civic ferry]

we got an 850w psu for a rx 6600 and r5 5600x
when we had the rx 5600xt we were future prepping for like a 400w amd gpu but money and the gpu release and stuff prevented our future we imagined from happening

120w on gpu and 65w on cpu be like

[somber zealot]

Is the 4070 around the same price as a 5070?

[viral kayak]

No they are cheaper by 200-400 dollars

But only available used here

[somber zealot]

how much is a 4070 for u

[viral kayak]

Cheapest I could find is 530 and then 550 for a super model

[somber zealot]

and a 5070?

[viral kayak]

New or used?

[somber zealot]

Is this used?

[viral kayak]

Yes

[somber zealot]

how much are both new

[viral kayak]

A new 5070 is at the cheapest like 660

[viral kayak]

4070 not available new for me anymore

[civic ferry]

iirc 4070 Super is 95% of a 5070 and here they are around 50 euros cheaper

[viral kayak]

All the stores stopped selling them

[somber zealot]

might be worth 50 bucks for a newer card though

[civic ferry]

bruh there is a 5070 ti new for 500 euros
cheaper than 4070, 4070 super and 5070

[civic ferry]

yeah DLSS and whatnot

[somber zealot]

there is?

get it fr

[plain cypress]

Very sus

Unless it's actually used

[somber zealot]

yeah

[civic ferry]

it probably is a paper listing or something

[viral kayak]

I saw someone selling 1080 ti box and 3080 box for 50 bucks

[civic ferry]

it is a scam and also the seller got 69 in their username

[civic ferry]

yeah boxes are 50 bucks and have been since forever
idk why but yes

[low pendant]

So I watching a video captured by my GPU and my screen blacked out and the andrenaline software crashed and opened again , is there any app or software to check my cards health doing alright??

[somber zealot]

why would anyone buy a box

[white sphinx]

Neat

[civic ferry]

idk but they dooo

[ionic peak]

How is everyone?

[left trellis]

would a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite AX be fine for a cpu OC

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

being picked up right now

[tidal geyser]

but it cant do 1kw

[azure topaz]

youre the guy i told the decent settings to right?

[azure topaz]

im sure it could if you make the cpu draw 1kw somehow lol

for cpu v core

o well good nuf for basic oc

[azure topaz]

will be fine for any form of oc

[ionic peak]

Ultram oc

[azure topaz]

1120A of current capability, its good.

[hallow jasper]

I think if you're here asking, you're not really going to get serious enough to need a specialized board

[tidal geyser]

im joking

[azure topaz]

basically this

[ionic peak]

joker?

[tidal geyser]

if they really were to do stuff at least ask in overclocking

[azure topaz]

youll be far limited by the memory toplogy before the cpu layout matters

good cooling like 370-410w capable you should be able to do 5.9ghz

i wonder how many ultraclockers RMAed their intel cpu

[ionic peak]

to the absolut limit

[azure topaz]

a lot of people who were stupid

do it right and it wont blow up 👍

[cyan bay]

hey so lowkey got a problem but how does one be content withh their current pc lol

[ionic peak]

Do the next Intel cpu need a lake for open loop cooling

[tidal geyser]

i think the generic basic 10$ 65w usb-c charger i bought on ali is a actual OEM one but with a different sticker at the bottom

[tidal geyser]

im just gonna sell my pc and get a pantherlake apu

[tidal geyser]

intel did a full 180

[azure topaz]

aksing a lotta the wrong people

[tidal geyser]

half the power draw for better performance

[azure topaz]

a lot of us have near top end hardware

[ionic peak]

less heat?

[cyan bay]

what is pantherlake apu

[tidal geyser]

panzer lake

[tidal geyser]

intel is also doing tiling the right way

[azure topaz]

your xtx based pc?

eugh

[tidal geyser]

i use discord and watch youtube all day

[cyan bay]

what does that even do, is tyhat a cpu?

[azure topaz]

i dont think its going to be better performance than that homie

[tidal geyser]

i could not care less about performance

[azure topaz]

so dont say more performance

[tidal geyser]

what

[ionic peak]

Panzer ?

[tidal geyser]

someone said it reminded them of panzer in the lake

[stuck depot]

i wouldn't say its 50mp

[tidal geyser]

do you mean when i said better performance for half the power draw about the guy asking about what came after 14th gen?

[stuck depot]

as it doesn't get close to it

[tidal geyser]

im probs gonna get myself one of these no matter what

[steel umbra]

it says AI box simmy

AI bad bad deal

[tidal geyser]

idc about branding

ai good :3

[limpid ivy]

👀

[tidal geyser]

its the only rtx 5000 class thing like that iv seen

[steel umbra]

what’s the price

[plain cypress]

Kind of
Their tiles don't have a ton of reusability yet; unlike Zen chiplets

[tidal geyser]

no clue

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/tank-tank-jumping-bt7-zeke-gif-21777189

[tidal geyser]

a major part of their presentation was talking about how they could tailor their chips to the needs of the customer

[rose stream]

Hmmmm...
I only like the case.

[tidal geyser]

as long as it aint more than 200$ over jank ama get it

[plain cypress]

They absolutely can
But a ton of bespoke chiplets and configurations reduces economy of scale advantages to chiplets

A zen5 chiplet gets used in server, desktop, embedded, and some mobile products

[steel umbra]

what about existing external gpus

[tidal geyser]

external would just be like what 100$ and the price of a 5060 ti 16GB

[hallow jasper]

red bull flugtag but before it was cool

[tidal geyser]

used thunderbolt enclosures are such a pain

[tropic hinge]

yo guys could i get tech tips here

[rose stream]

That was also something that had been on mind for some time now too, though relating moreso to something personal when thinking of how to push something forwards at a cost and implementation-effective scale.

[tropic hinge]

my mobo is an msi h610 and i currnetly have i5-12400f which bottlenecks my 9060xt alot so my two options are either an i5-12600kf or an i5-14400f same price currently

[rose stream]

... What?

A 12400f and a 9060XT are a proper pairing.

[tidal geyser]

battlefield or smn
