[sullen dune]

If you dont wanna Wait and already have all parts except ram sorted out go and snipe the best deal you can find

[silver estuary]

i am quite impatient however it may be smart to begin with all the other parts and decide if performance is good enough for now

[golden sage]

Basically my purchase was the last helicopter from nam'

[silver estuary]

trust me im in a perpetual cycle of looking at ram deals

[cosmic idol]

I was in a cycle of looking storage then accidentally spent 210 usd on 4tb

[sullen dune]

Yeah thats the best approach i feel like

[silver estuary]

how is this bad

[sullen dune]

Thats amazing

[cosmic idol]

they’re sata ssds they ain’t special

[sullen dune]

210usd for a 4tb drive is a steal

[cosmic idol]

2 2tb drives*

[sullen dune]

Ah well that explains it

Still good though

Sata is fast enough tbh

[silver estuary]

yeah wait thats still not bad what

105/2tb?

[cosmic idol]

Could chuck them in raid
but that would be silly lol

[cosmic idol]

Yeah

Samsung 850 pro or whatever they were

[sullen dune]

I use one 500gb Sata, one 1tb HDD, and a 128gb M.2 ssd in my rig basically hdd from my super old pc, and the M.2 drive i found laying in some small drawer all the way at the back without packaging while cleaning

[silver estuary]

1tb 628gb is so much aura

[sullen dune]

500GB Sata ssd i bought a couple years ago

[marsh relic]

my dell p1424h portable monitor cycles RGB colors every time i lock my laptop its connected to. is there some way to turn this off?

[sullen dune]

Sure is

[gilded harness]

yeahh #ripevga

[silver estuary]

any input here?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[formal sonnet]

Sure, my input is that you've linked to a blank list.

[sullen dune]

Thats an empty list

[silver estuary]

uh

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ckmDC8

mb lmao

[sinful cobalt]

holy crackers

[sullen dune]

Looks good to me but you sure about a white case with black internals?

[silver estuary]

so initially i was thinking all black is probably best, but i got to thinking that contrast may look cool

still a wip of course idk

smth of this sort for example

still deliberating

[sullen dune]

If you likebit that's fine just my opinion i feel like everything should math cuz it looks cleaner but that's just my opinion

[silver estuary]

fair

[sullen dune]

I really just love all black pcs with the rgb set to white thats what itches the need for contrast for me

[silver estuary]

ooh yeah true

[sinful cobalt]

i remember some post with a white build and a 5090 black astral with the caption “from 3060 laptop to 5090 astral”

“white build black gpu”
mf replied “black runs faster”

[silver estuary]

ok so

bruh

[thorny saddle]

White is nice when you can commit though

[sinful cobalt]

Extremely Agreed

[gilded harness]

white fans + aio would be nicer ngl

[golden sage]

nice ram fan

[gilded harness]

this case looks weirdly clean

[thorny saddle]

I didn't have RAM fan in for pics

but she needs it - 9000 M/Ts 😐

[grizzled frost]

I was about to say, are you doing XOC or just putting a fan there for fun

XOC it is, which makes sense

[thorny saddle]

285k life

[sinful cobalt]

i might consider switching to NVL for my HS420

Then the ram fan will really have a use

[grizzled frost]

speaking of ram, i realized my 2u that has been non-functional for forever has 2x the ram my 1u that i actually use has, so i swapped them

[sinful cobalt]

Otherwise right now its just there for no reason apart from just a place to be rather than outside collecting dust

[grizzled frost]

now my R630 has 64gb of ram instead of 32

if i ever get the R730 working i'll swap it back

(like 90% sure i need to hard reset the IDRAC)

[thorny saddle]

I feel guilty holding like 2TB of RAM

[grizzled frost]

i mean even if you gave away that 2tb of ram, it wouldn't alleviate the problem at all

[winter lantern]

specs so ass it recommends me to lower my resolution

[sullen dune]

Black pc supremacy (spent sooo long looking for them pics)

I need new fans though

[winter lantern]

and gpu

[sullen dune]

Nah

2080 Super still holding up amazingly

[sinful cobalt]

Its alright

[winter lantern]

did you buy it when it came out

[grizzled frost]

black pc supremacy

[sullen dune]

Nope got it gifted by my sisters husband 1-2yrs ago to replace my gtx1050 bc he got a new one, cpu, mb and ram are also from him

Rest i bought myself

[sinful cobalt]

still sleeping

[grizzled frost]

what's with the random ass ram

[sullen dune]

Omg take my money

[grizzled frost]

proart sexy

i went FE though

[sinful cobalt]

its gonna go back to the white build once I get a intel system

[sinful cobalt]

Thats the 50 series prime

sry i forgot to turn off the @

[grizzled frost]

T1 so sexy

i might go panelless for a bit, i kind of like the look

i need to dust my pc though

[violet briar]

Just built a new pc, what steps do yall go through? I usually download Nvidia GeForce for gpu drivers and do windows update

[grizzled frost]

update drivers, download steam, download games

[violet briar]

Other than GeForce what other programs do you use for drivers?

[molten patrol]

can i see the side view of the fan on ram 🙂

[grizzled frost]

the exe files for the driver i want to update, usually from the motherboard site

[sullen dune]

DELETE MICROSOFT EDGE

[grizzled frost]

windows does everything in it's power to prevent you from doing so

[sullen dune]

I have the power of a custom iso muhehehe

[grizzled frost]

Lack of update support, so cool

[sullen dune]

Nah

[grizzled frost]

it either isn't a custom ISO, or it's what i said above

[sinful cobalt]

40 series FE in the T1 never ceases to look like an absolute beauty

[grizzled frost]

It fits so well

it's like the perfect size for the case

[sinful cobalt]

I was considering a 4080FE for my T1 but I couldnt find any with good pricing

[grizzled frost]

i got mine for a bit over MSRP cause i really wanted the 4080S FE

iirc like 1200usd

[hasty valley]

I have the ultimate opinion on tech, ask me anything I will give in the infallible correct answer. 100% guaranteed.

[sullen dune]

I dont entirely remember honestly, i had a custom iso a while ago but then just carried over my windows install from my old pc to the new pc might be not a custom iso but i 100% dont have edge i believe

[sinful cobalt]

all 4080/S FEs were like x1.5 of the 5070ti prime which is stupid

[grizzled frost]

i bought mine long before the 50 series were even a thing

Q2/3 2024

[frigid blade]

Only on the consumer versions I’m pretty sure

I remember the IoT Enterprise one I could just open the settings with the app page and hit uninstall for edge

[sinful cobalt]

4080s fe 1700 sgd
5080 fe 1800 sgd
4070 super FE 850 SGD

its literally just not worth it at these prices

[hasty valley]

In order to make Pringles they make a almost sand like mixture that gets compressed at around 4 tons of pressure.

In the US, they’re officially labeled as “potato crisps,” not chips.

Pringles aren't chips.

[thorny saddle]

very fascinating

[frigid blade]

Didn’t they change the designation in the UK to bypass taxes

[hasty valley]

I'm just trying to say things other people won't.

[rare salmon]

Hey, quick question
Is it smart to convert your old ssd drive to a game storage drive?

It's an external drive so I'm worried about it failing

[frigid blade]

To get around VAT they argued Pringles weren’t potato chips, instead savory snacks

[hasty valley]

Yes, also they are less then 50% potato. So which causes which isn't documented as well. I am the technological genius that knows all technology.... related to Pringles.

[frigid blade]

At first the lower courts agreed but appeals overturned

Sucks

[hasty valley]

This isn't Pringles related... But if its external your bottleneck might be USB speeds. Are you talking about taking it apart or just plugging it into USB?

[rare salmon]

Yeah, the hard drive is connected through a USB. Is that the reason why it's "failing"?

[hasty valley]

Possible, you mentioned old as well.

[rare salmon]

Oh. The hard drive is from my old laptop (bought it in 2021), it provides 1TB of storage so I thought it would be fine to use it for storing my games?

[hasty valley]

I don't see the downside in trying, if it steam it's not like you lose the game. I'm sure it's not ideal for AAA games but its possible.

[serene pumice]

failing?

[hasty valley]

They mentioned worried about it failing and is that the reason it is failing. Are they worried about it failing or is it failing.

[rare salmon]

I'm worried about it failing.

[hasty valley]

I don't think there's much down side in trying.

Ok back to Pringle related technology, Pringles are a hyperbolic paraboloid.

This is because of crispness and stack ability. Among other reasons.

[plain cypress]

They're delicious

So much seasoning

[hasty valley]

I've got about a 3 hour lecture on Pringles. Maybe I should go to the Pringles chat.

THERES NO PRINGLES CHAT

Linus!!! Explain!

[serene pumice]

Souecream & Onion & Original flavour right?

All newer flavours got MSG added pretty sure

[hasty valley]

Pringles has a plethora of great flavors, personally I'm a robot so I don't eat chips but my theoretical favorites are sharp white cheddar, sour cream and onion, and Jalapeno Queso.

They added some hot ones flavors I suggest to humanity.

[thorny pine]

grub

bootloader is inside of me

[golden sage]

i see that cosair PSU 🤝

[thorny pine]

i factory resetted and its still here

i used fresh install and deleted all partitions and merged into one

[grizzled frost]

SF750/850/1000 is and was the meta for the T1

[thorny pine]

grub is in me

[grizzled frost]

the SF750 is essentially a 80+ gold 1000w+ PSU

[hasty valley]

What?

[grizzled frost]

The SF750, it's an 80+ platinum 750w rated PSU, but it functions more like a 1000W PSU

it was given a rating less than what it can actually do

[hasty valley]

What's the price point?

[golden sage]

Me who just went from HX850 to HX1000i 🤝

[hasty valley]

This isn't Pringles related so I can't instantly know.

[grizzled frost]

when i bought it 180usd, now 160-200usd

[sinful cobalt]

i will never again doubt the goat

[grizzled frost]

There are many lies told in the tech industry, in the SF750's case the lie is that it's actually better than what it claims

[tidal geyser]

go to a doctor

[hasty valley]

Not bad at all if it is in fact a 1000 watt PSU at that rating. Might be the last one you ever need.

[sinful cobalt]

I got the SF850 for like 10 bucks more than the 750, both are hella overkill for what my dumbass got

[hasty valley]

Dr. Pringle

[sinful cobalt]

since sf goat

[stable beacon]

this spawned in when i tried exporting my photo, it still did but i've never seen this popup before

there were like 4 different pop ups of the same message

[grizzled frost]

Third party testing indicates it can perform as a 80+ gold 1000w unit, or 80+ platinum if you restrict it to 750w

[hasty valley]

Which third party are we talking about there's only one authority that I respect and it's potato chip related

[grizzled frost]

80+ and LTT actually

[hasty valley]

Mmm, ok I'll respect it.

I am actually looking for a 1000 watt one. I bought one from Amazon, they said it was new but the box and PSU was in horrible condition.

It didn't even work.

Probably bought and returned like a million times.

[grizzled frost]

SF750 is an SFX PSU, not sized for the normal PC case

[hasty valley]

Small form factor?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[hasty valley]

I was about to buy a sub 10L case too.

But I might hold off on that.

[grizzled frost]

Which one?

[serene pumice]

real small form factor psu though,
is a power brick outside of the case

[grizzled frost]

Standard SFX form factor, same dimensions as any other

[hasty valley]

Undecided but Thor Zone had a nice one.

MJOLNIR looks nice

9.7 but just theory right now. Not pulling the trigger on that for a while.

Under 10L it starts being a pain to build and you need SFF everything.

I got a beefy 3070

[red light]

this is what collection looks like

[hasty valley]

What about Pringles?

[red light]

i dont know!

[hasty valley]

Retro you are really messing up, thin ice!

[serene pumice]

unless the phones are able to call 911 through 4G Network, the phones are banned from the cellular networks in Sweden

[cosmic idol]

Dear god what is that

[grizzled frost]

PICO PSU

[serene pumice]

Mini-ITX PSU

[cosmic idol]

Ah yup makes sense now

I forget they built like that lol

[pulsar root]

Fuckin love FOSS

[jaunty apex]

No, that's called hoarding

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-soggen-soggy-sopping-wet-kity-gif-3736576636392932586

125$ 4460

Ain't the used market just great

[pulsar root]

w t f

you could import one from the US for cheaper, no?

or even UK

[tidal geyser]

This is just a uh let's just say special person

[pulsar root]

if ppl are actually buying that, im selling to the wrong regions

[tidal geyser]

Wait wtf they have 3 different prices in the description

Also this is what the cpu looks like

[mint bluff]

As far as I know, mobile RTX 5060 and 4060 performance wise are on the same level as 5050 and 4050, except for VRAM size.
Question is, are they good as GPUs for mobile workstation.
I need a laptop for working in Blender, Adobe Premier and After effects, Unity and UE5. And my budget is +-$1500.
Note: I have a PC that covers my needs in performance.

[tidal geyser]

Where did you find this

[sinful cobalt]

maybe their butthole

[tidal geyser]

As 4060 is very much not that bad due to it being allowed to use around as much as desktop and as always with laptops allowed power is a per laptop thing

[hoary tree]

The M4 max draws up to 215W

[tidal geyser]

5060 desktop being like 160-180w+ or something is not as easy to hit on a laptop so you will not be able to see the same kinda performance as desktop

Also all those GPUs are 8GB

[mint bluff]

I know, question is that I plan to use it actively for work and humble gaming for 2-3 years. Will 5060 be more than enough? Since 5070 Laptops are super expencive and often have overkill monitors, since I am fine with 1080p.

[sinful cobalt]

dlss 4.5 goes hard especially for laptops

[mint bluff]

I don’t use any frame generation, only upscaling and on quality mode.

[tidal geyser]

dlss 4.5 right now is ONLY transformer v2

aka upscaling

[sinful cobalt]

dlss 4.5 is the upscaler not fg

FG is an entirely separate thing bruh

[mint bluff]

I know, just thought you hinted to use FG with DLLS 4.

My bad.

[drowsy isle]

if NVIDIA got more into handhelds outside of the switch it'd be game breaking

[tidal geyser]

i believe the 6x frame gen thing will come to dlss 4.5

[tidal geyser]

just look at intel right now

well in a month

[drowsy isle]

Check walmart if you're looking for ssds in US, they've been listing some at or below msrp.

[tidal geyser]

qty 1

uno

this is how i imagine any buying guide works

[drowsy isle]

Yeah only one per person but could bypass it by making different accounts with different phone numbers

[tidal geyser]

o wait that way

yea its the add to cart window

ok makes more sense, anyhow walmart is only in the americas i think

[drowsy isle]

yeah it is

use to be in Europe but failed miserably due to not being able to meet the labor laws

Think there were some in Germany

[drowsy isle]

I bought the last one in my area it seems

[tidal geyser]

ha knew it

just imagine it being folded during shipping :3

[drifting hull]

wow, I am happy that i bought my M.2 over the holidays now. Are HDD's going to be headed up in price as well or is it just going to be SSD's?

[latent pasture]

probs only ssds
or any non moving storage/memory

maybe hdds will indirectly slightly increase not bc ai is using them but just bc ppl dont want to buy expensive ssd

we shoulda time traveled back to 2022/23 when $30 per 1tb was the regular lol

[honest flame]

There a place you can check gpu values? Or just referring to recent sales on ebay?

Found a 6800xt for $290 USD ($400 CAD), think its a pretty solid deal but want to know how far below market that actually is ig

Also complete random point ig lol ive got a 3060ti and want a decent upgrade because my frames in vr with 3060ti are fine but not absolutely ideal. Do you think the 6800xt is enough of a boost to give me the overhead for vr?

[gaunt spade]

love fb marketplace

[latent pasture]

i assume thats ebay u can check recently sold listings and scroll a feww pages
bc its an actual list of what ppl have paid for it

[honest flame]

Yeah that always usually works. I guess im just wondering if theres a site similar to pricecharting, but for used pc parts like gpu's

Pricecharting takes sales from ebay and other sites and averages values together

[tidal geyser]

the hinges on that one are not the best.

[tidal geyser]

HDDs are already doing it

[trim schooner]

This issue happened once yesterday but wtf

[tidal geyser]

corrupt video file?

[trim schooner]

Idk but it ha0oend only in that vjdeo

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/PqoT.gif

[trim schooner]

could it be the vid or gpu

This is the video @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

bad driver or discord then

[trim schooner]

How can I narrow the issue down

[tidal geyser]

[stray portal]

When is the new fsr coming to 7000 series

[rigid fjord]

you could get a 4070/5070 laptop for that you know

[mint bluff]

I looked on Amazon and Newegg. It’s hard to find a laptop with 5070 for such price, thanks to memory crisis. But I’d be happy if you know good options.

[rigid fjord]

[mint bluff]

Nah, Armenia

Is this website legit??? Can’t find any info

[trim schooner]

Can anyone join the voicechat so I can remove and reinstall my GPU safely

[topaz shale]

theres no voice chats in this server.

theres plenty of detailed tutorials that should be able to help you on youtube

[rigid fjord]

the ssd looks correct on their site, however it's a qlc nand ssd, you want a tlc nand ssd instead due to the better endurance

[stray portal]

This shortage is so dookie

Im gonna be keeping my pc tor the next 10 years 🤑

[rigid fjord]

there's a chat for floatplane in this discord, and there once was a chat for normal users/regulars til mouth breathers ruined it

[topaz shale]

ive never subscribed to floatplane so i wouldnt know 😆

[flint pulsar]

True but I legit Can’t find a 2 TB new ssd for under $200 bucks now

I would like to go back to 3 months ago when I can get a 2 TB ssd for less than 95 bucks

This is the only in stock one I can found

[stray portal]

😡

Ai ruined my life

[honest flame]

Would yall say $400 CAD for a 6800xt is worth it or should I spend the extra $80 ish CAD for the 9060xt. Im seeing 6800xt has better raster but significantly worse RT and FSR. I dont use RT but the FSR may be an issue. Does anybody know what the play is?

Oh, nvm - the $80 more 9060xt is the 8gb model. 🤮

The 16gb model is $150 more. Think the 6800XT is definitely the better purchase then

[ornate harbor]

How so

[fallow yacht]

@rigid fjord your brits can apparently talk to us now lmao

[stray portal]

My ai generated family got deleted

[ornate harbor]

Damn thats why I run my AI locally

Smth similar happened to me

[rigid fjord]

considering the performance of the 9060xt is no better than a 7700xt and the 6800xt is better than that, so no, get the 6800xt

[fallow yacht]

nvm there's no audio w this one

I recognize one of the mice I had put up for sale it got returned with the tag not working

I plug it in and it works with no issues

I think the buyer was too stupid to realize that they have to put in a battery for it to work as it's a wireless mouse

[hasty valley]

I am the tech guru, I am quite knowledgeable on all topics for tech. But mostly they are Pringles related.

People speak about the shape of the perfect Pringle, but no one can fathom the container genius.

The container on a Pringles chip is so well orchestrated in order to keep its crunch it is more likely to break in the factory than in the container.

By having a broken Pringle chip you have a factory error, which means you can sell your chip on the black market.

Black Market Pringles are a 500% increase.

[cosmic idol]

what

[hasty valley]

This is a historic moment for you. You'll remember where you were when you became enlightened on Pringles technology.

I'm proud of this whole discord. Y'all .... Just are the best.

Slow clap for everyone and Pringles.

[mint umbra]

wonder if someone like microsoft will buy open ai

[jovial swan]

How much is a RTX 4070 worth on the used market?, i think i wanna upgrade to the RX 9070 non XT.

[mint umbra]

when it starts failing cuz of how much money thye losing

[ivory mountain]

Everclear drinkers

[ebon marlin]

Why would they it's one of the worst companies to own

[mint umbra]

cuz they have already invested to much for it to go down

[ebon marlin]

OpenAI has lost more money than they've gained since 2015

[mint umbra]

I think the bigger companies wont let it fail and will bail them out

[silver estuary]

can anyone reccomend a good value 2tb ssd?

[ivory mountain]

Good value ssd in 2026

Got anymore jokes

[ebon marlin]

Open pcpp Sort by cheapest and get whatever is the cheapest TLC ssd by googling if the SSD uses QLC or TLC flash

[silver estuary]

good value for the times man

[silver estuary]

even w low(er) transfer speed?

[ebon marlin]

Raw speeds don't matter anything

There are gen3 ssds that outperform some gen4 ssds

What matters is their speeds under load

To some ssd's you can get ur answer from techpowerup's review

[silver estuary]

okay yea

[silver estuary]

looks like Samsung 990 EVO Plus is j the best

[ebon marlin]

I wouldn't recommend Samsung

[silver estuary]

oh fr i thought they were like the best

[ebon marlin]

Nowhere close

[silver estuary]

what brands would you reccomend then?

[ebon marlin]

But I wouldn't buy an ssd cause it's the best on the list since either way you'd never see a similar usecase for the ssd unless you do constant file transfers that are very massive in size

[ebon marlin]

Whatever's the cheapest TLC drive

[silver estuary]

so thats what that was but

ok

[tulip sparrow]

They shut the last one down becuase of stupid people

[ebon marlin]

The Samsung?

[silver estuary]

based on what ive been looking at yeah

other offbrands aside

i suppose theres also crucial

but the cheaper ones are older models

[ebon marlin]

Samsung is a solid choice then but I'd keep important files somewhere else instead of that drive

Ah the ssd is 5x2 aswell

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.cnn.com/travel/inappropriate-behavior-shuts-down-dublin-new-york-portal

[ebon marlin]

Hope your Mobo supports a pcie 5.0 nvme slot otherwise ur ssd will be very slow

Hey, anyone know a good way that my gf and i can play minecraft together on the same pc, i cant find a free multiseat software?

[silver estuary]

im going for the MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI

they say: "Lightning Fast Game experience: PCIe 5.0 slot, Lightning Gen 5 x4 M.2"

[ebon marlin]

Is it on a good deal or what

[silver estuary]

its 230 r

rn*

normally 310

[tulip sparrow]

Good luck with the RAM prices on AM5

[ebon marlin]

So not a good deal

[silver estuary]

huh 😭

i got this from an ltt video

[cold skiff]

230 roubles?

[silver estuary]

alr have

[cold skiff]

Damn good deal for 230 roubles

[silver estuary]

so what is a good deal then lmfao

[ebon marlin]

Don't listen to LTT video it's all jank for pc part stuff recommendations

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-privacy-display-confirmed-3634212/

[fallow yacht]

nope they just moved it to philadelphia

[ebon marlin]

B850 Pro-A by asrock is the same shit but 139$

Wifi model is 20$ more

[ivory mountain]

yk ball

[ebon marlin]

It's just the cheapest mobo that matches the MSI one

No reason to overspend on a mobo

[ivory mountain]

the msi b650 gaming plus i had was shitttttt

[tidal geyser]

How

[ebon marlin]

Before long time ago it was worth to spend extra money on a better mobo nut now there's literally no difference especially on AMD

For reference B and X chipset difference is you just get more USB controllers

[ivory mountain]

mid usb controllers, constant disconnections, didnt rly like the bios, and it came with a broken usb 3.0 connector and they denied RMA

[silver estuary]

is wifi 7 not worth?

[ebon marlin]

Is your router wifi 7 compatible?

No reason to get a wifi board if ethernet is available aswell

[silver estuary]

yes it is

not sure if ethernet is possible

gotta figure that out

[ebon marlin]

I'd check out if ethernet would be possible

[silver estuary]

i do also want to say, this mobo enables the samsung ssd, which is honestly not a bad deal

[tidal geyser]

Does your AP have 6ghz wifi 7?

[silver estuary]

yeah i will nw

[tidal geyser]

Enables?

[silver estuary]

its 5x2

the ssd

[tidal geyser]

Oh th 990 Evo

[silver estuary]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

It's also PCIe 4 x4

[tulip sparrow]

sighs heavily https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/memory/spraying-kerosene-over-the-dram-inferno-us-commerce-secretary-suggests-memory-chip-makers-could-face-100-percent-tariffs-unless-they-commit-to-increased-us-production/

[quasi moat]

The U.S. government is warning foreign memory chip companies that they’ll face massive (up to 100%) import taxes unless they start building more factories in America, pushing them to make chips on U.S. soil instead of overseas.

In other words. A child looked across the sandbox and saw other children with different toys

Making the invasion of Taiwan not ubelivebly destructive to the us

[quasi moat]

And now. Said child wants those toys

https://tenor.com/view/when-you-mad-gif-27104643

[ivory mountain]

god damn murica

[thorny saddle]

Except the one child owns the sand and the sandbox and there's nothing the other child can do about it

[thorny saddle]

This is better than you think it is

[ivory mountain]

damn thats pretty i love purple

[red light]

phone guardian beloved

[tidal geyser]

why do you have a 11hr stop watch

[exotic cape]

VPN overrated

[silver estuary]

does this deal look good or is the mobo subpar? https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007269/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d,-asus-b650e-e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-crucial-pro-overclocking-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

[exotic cape]

HOLY CRAP!
the trifold has hit the Norwegian market.

[tidal geyser]

budget

[ivory mountain]

is norwegian currency called krone

holy shit 😭

[tidal geyser]

that motherboard looks like it could take a 9950X3D without even batting a eye

[tidal geyser]

yes tis why its budget

[ivory mountain]

honestly wouldnt wanna be seen with a tri fold, too cheap for me

[exotic cape]

Should put in an order?
@tidal geyser should I order one for you too?

[tidal geyser]

there is a premium trifold

[tidal geyser]

if you are paying why not

[hallow jasper]

$965 if bought individually https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GLCCTM and the board is fine

[exotic cape]

It's cheap so why not

[silver estuary]

yeah price wise its great so if board is fine then yea

alr cool

is wifi7 a huge difference over 6e?

[tidal geyser]

use cabled

[silver estuary]

ethernet D:

fair enough

if no ethernet though

[hallow jasper]

do you have a Wifi7 access point?

[silver estuary]

yes

[tidal geyser]

if yes does it even have 6GHz?

aint wifi 7 just a great standard

[silver estuary]

deadass im not too familar with wifi architecture

[tidal geyser]

what AP

aka "wireless router"

[silver estuary]

yeah idr at the moment but theoretically is it worth an upgrade

if all is possible

[tidal geyser]

anyhow no wifi 6e is great

[silver estuary]

okay thanks

[wheat field]

My god

I just had the worst experience ever

My 9070xt kept hard crashing, black main monitor and green secondary. Changed PSU, no change, changed motherboard, no change. I was genuinely about to RMA the thing

Decided to hell with it and put a little gpu raiser thing under the GPU so it sat completely straight (always had very little sag)

works fine now, good as new lmao.

Might just RMA it anyway

[tidal geyser]

rma it

its something can can happen with any thing tbh

but i will remember this in case i see more cases like this, kinda surprising as the 9070 xt does not need a MASSIVE cooler to stay cool so really should not suffer from sag issues

[solar swift]

has anyone else had a problem with windows deleting their snipping tool

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me, windows randomly deletes snipping tool and when i try to take an ss it says "snipping tool is not available for your account"

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows

also use windows own ISO and do not "debloat" it or whatever after

[solar swift]

it resolves itself when i reinstall from microsoft store but its just bizzare that it happens at all

[tidal geyser]

well something very bad is going on that should not go on

[silver estuary]

im bouta get one D:

[solar swift]

i need to switch to linux but i cant rn ugh

[thorny saddle]

no, you need to.

you must.

[boreal tiger]

so

[wheat field]

They're good, I imagine my specific card just has a weird PCIe connector issue

[silver estuary]

theres an "upgraded" bundle for $50 more w a X870E chipset and wifi 7 instead, not sure if its worth it

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007270/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d,-msi-x870e-p-pro-wifi,-crucial-pro-overclocking-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

input would be great dont want to mess this up lol

[boreal tiger]

the good old days when you could download ram

[solar swift]

solidworks says otherwise

[frosty ruin]

The good old days were when I sacrificed hard drive space for some kind of vram

Or whatever it did

Idk

[vestal stream]

Bro. Please take me back I beg you please

https://youtu.be/L34ZkAF9q9w

[boreal tiger]

the good old days where you could skip classes

[hallow jasper]

the 1080ti glazing from reddit has made it here

and I thought we were safe

[sleek ibex]

[vestal stream]

Speak for yourself. I had a 1060

I'm ready to suck bang blow the 1060 any time

[thorny saddle]

uh

[sleek ibex]

Just another day on TC1

[ivory mountain]

im just tryna play bo3 and i see this shit

[cosmic swift]

What do you people think?

[rigid fjord]

the cpu is probably the only issue with this

[cosmic swift]

Recommend me

Something

[random gyro]

sup

[rigid fjord]

5600/5600x/5700x/5700x3d/5800x3d and get a good gpu like a 6700xt/7700xt/9060xt (16gb model)

[cosmic swift]

See I would have gotten the 5700x but I am gonna buy the GPU 3 to 5 months after the build

[rigid fjord]

then you'd want double the ram

[random gyro]

my specs lol

i love my build

[thorny saddle]

thats cool but how would we know your specs

[cosmic swift]

Check his pfp

[sharp ivy]

but like

what speed of RAM

what type of 3TB SSD

[rigid fjord]

most likely a combo of 1+2tb

[thorny saddle]

Thats too much effort

Especially for a mid build 😛

[random gyro]

fr

[random gyro]

its not mid but alr, trying to insult and rude isn't something that'll get you far

[cosmic swift]

With that build what would be a good GPU in 300$

[thorny saddle]

lol its ok, I'll get pretty far, and it is rude, but I didn't feel like clicking your profile for a 7600X3D

[ivory mountain]

😭

[wheat field]

But you did

Good boy

[thorny saddle]

and thats why i said it was mid, because it is 🙂

nothing worse than obfuscated mid

[winter lantern]

whats even the point of a 7600x3d

like lower number = worse

[thorny saddle]

Its a tough call

Because 3D cache sure, but 6 cores.

7600X3D vs 7900X3D, neither really make sense

[winter lantern]

just get a 9800x3d fr

or just a 7600x

[gilded harness]

uh

i think i should be worried and get anti sag

[indigo temple]

how much u payed for that card?

[gilded harness]

$180

[indigo temple]

where?

in my country they are going for like 230-290

[gilded harness]

thailand

[indigo temple]

is your gpu undervolted or how u got it for so cheap?

like i mean do u needcto undervolt it to be stable or smt

[winter lantern]

thats like normal

in the us alteast

[indigo temple]

oh

[winter lantern]

theyre like 20$ more useally

a 3080 is like 300

[indigo temple]

how much would it be if i would buy it from states and ship it to europe?

[indigo temple]

yeah in here they going around 250-350

[craggy cove]

get creative, stack lego or some other shit under it

[winter lantern]

stacking lego aint creative

[gilded harness]

lowballin lol

[craggy cove]

true

not gonna tell him to stack xeons under there

[indigo temple]

okey

[craggy cove]

i should take a ferry to finland

good 3070s are going for like 250 now

[winter lantern]

my tiny gpu sagging

[gilded harness]

ive done that once lol

[winter lantern]

i thought ts was for big gpus

[gilded harness]

cant find the pieces anymore

my mom just threw away my legos 😭

[winter lantern]

the lego for mine is tuff

[craggy cove]

legos r expensive so rip

[ivory mountain]

i bought a sag bracket and forgot i cant even use it due to my bottom fans and its too tall

[winter lantern]

i think that 4090 broke cause of sag

the pcb looks fine tho

but even a slight bend can unball the core

[craggy cove]

huffing ssd thermal pads

smells like gasoline

[muted spindle]

should i take a rtx 5060 or intel arc b580

[gilded harness]

the 5060

[ivory mountain]

no it cant

saved 12:02

[ivory mountain]

yum

[warm anvil]

whats better fish or konsole

[rose stream]

Dunno really. I just whatever I end up with most of the time.

[true adder]

Yo guys, my PC is really loud and that's because of my AMD stock cooler. anyone here had the same issue?

im thinking of removing it

[rose stream]

I haven't.

[jaunty apex]

Neither is better if you don't know the benefits of either tbh.

[warm anvil]

fish auto finishes whatever i type so its pretty cool

[rose stream]

And it sounds like you didn't adjust fan curves yet either. Usually that's what dictates how much noise you'll deal with.

[warm anvil]

konsole doesnt do that

[jaunty apex]

Just see which you like better tbh

[true adder]

First i tried quiet mode. but that was loud so now i did custom. so even lower

[random gyro]

i have the phanteks xt pro ultra, and is it good to have intake fans on the bottom and the front, and outtake "exhaust" on the back and on the top

[cold skiff]

Yeah it’s fine blud

[random gyro]

tyy

[rigid shale]

whats the pretty bog standard go to for used small workstation computers to set up a home server

trying to have a dedicated host for game servers for my home network

[vestal stream]

Do any of you guys have any tips on how to clean keyboards with metal tops?

[true adder]

some hydrofluoric acid will do probably

[vestal stream]

I'd Rather use Brake cleaner

[true adder]

Or some blinker fluid

[hidden nymph]

😭

[lunar hearth]

That guy’s videos are peak lowkey

192x120 upscaled to 1920x1200p

Looks beautiful

[winter lantern]

Its the craft tho

[lunar hearth]

Is that the person from the amd server

[winter lantern]

Yes

[dusk patio]

air coolers are pretty cheap, and upgrading the cooler should be pretty simple

is the motherboard upg worth in the first bundle?

50$ more than the second bundle

Wifi 7 is a nice bonus but im trying to get ethernet, so its mostly just the convenience and chipset

[indigo temple]

What is the best gpu for under 300 can be used or new

[ebon marlin]

That just looks like regular 192x120

https://tenor.com/view/gappy-jojo-jjba-jojo-dance-dance-gif-4469072048546647529

[lunar hearth]

its UPSCALED

[indigo temple]

is 50€ good deal for huntsman mini (used but pretty good condition)

[ebon marlin]

Looks so shit that it still looks like 192x120

[lunar hearth]

what do you expect from 120p upscaling, its honestly still impressive imo

[ebon marlin]

Idk still looks like shit

[ivory mountain]

You made 120p look like 120p 🔥🔥🔥

[ivory mountain]

Thats pretty

[lunar hearth]

the temps aint

if im test booting a 14900k with an aio, do i need thermal paste or can i just hold the waterblock on it?

[rough salmon]

how much is the ltt hoodie

[worn tinsel]

do i buy a 5060 Ti 16GB or do i wait and pray that the 5070 Ti 16GB comes down in price

currently have a 3050 8GB

i don't really play many games but i do a bit of ML

any games i do play run at like 60 - 120 FPS on my 3050 8GB already

[lunar hearth]

Lossless scaling is the only ai i can get behind

[worn tinsel]

i just need more VRAM

since i recently upgrade my monitors from 1080p 60hz to 1440p 165 hz

[worn tinsel]

unfortunately i can't get an AMD card because the machine learning support is awful

[lunar hearth]

Ts is ai btw 😭

[ebon marlin]

Migu 💔

[wheat torrent]

is it

[wheat torrent]

if true this is very well done

I cannot find any inconsistencies

maybe this triangle being smaller?

[mint umbra]

amd pushing ai even with driver updates

bruh

[wheat torrent]

I can see it as convenient

[worn tinsel]

lmfao why tf is vscode "AI" and python

[wheat torrent]

those software are all third party and are the main choices if you want to do LLM locally

[wheat torrent]

you connect LM studio with vs code

you need python to run pytorch

[mint umbra]

I just rather not have this stuff pushed with my driver updates

[lunar hearth]

Its proven ai

Which is insane

[worn tinsel]

well yes but surely they'd just make that a requirement of a different part

[wheat torrent]

its very well done

[wheat torrent]

wdym

[worn tinsel]

you can connect git to vscode but they're not pushing people to install git lmao

[mint umbra]

everything is ai now

[worn tinsel]

seems a bit stupid

[wheat torrent]

thats stupid

[mint umbra]

everything in tech is pushing ai down everyones throat

[wheat torrent]

how are you going to use pytorch without python??

[worn tinsel]

libtorch

with C++

[wheat torrent]

they are not pushing this to you

if you dont know what youre doing you literally wont be able to use any of those softwares

[worn tinsel]

same thing just a diff wrapper, they're not pushing people to download libtorch

[jaunty apex]

If I want AI I'll look for it myself. This is part of why I stopped using windows altogether

[mint umbra]

It shouldnt be there in first place

[worn tinsel]

also since when did pytorch work on AMD GPUs

or is this the chipset driver

[wheat torrent]

its great for ease of use

[worn tinsel]

oh, no it's a GPU driver

[wheat torrent]

I am sure people who need it will find it useful

[mint umbra]

they are suggesting ai apps

[worn tinsel]

since when did libtorch have ROCm support?

[wheat torrent]

no this is a bundle to run local LLMs on your local machine

there is literally no profit for them for you to run LLM locally

[mint umbra]

mate it litterly says ai bundle

[wheat torrent]

yes

[mint umbra]

they are pushing ai

[jaunty apex]

Let's goo more AI to put on the AI agentic os with my AI browser and ai voice assistant

[wheat torrent]

local LLMs

none of those softwares have AI

[mint umbra]

idc if its local or not

its still ai

[wheat torrent]

those are used to run LLMs locally there is no AI in it

[worn tinsel]

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/compatibility/ml-compatibility/pytorch-compatibility.html holy shit they do

[mint umbra]

you keep saying llm like I know what that is

[wheat torrent]

you should know

[mint umbra]

why should I

[grizzled frost]

Large Language Model, think ChatGPT/Claude/Grok

[jaunty apex]

Forgot yeah I almost installed ROCm drivers for that. Best not to though for me lol.

[mint umbra]

I use computers to play video games

[grizzled frost]

You input text, it outputs text, that's what an LLM is in its most basic form

[mint umbra]

why should I bother with llm crap or whatever

[jaunty apex]

🫃

[wheat torrent]

you shouldnt

it's a checkbox you click if you want to install it

I really doubt they enabled it by default

[mint umbra]

It shouldnt be there to begin with

[wheat torrent]

Why shouldnt it be there?

[jaunty apex]

You don't need both lmstudio and ollama tho tbh

[wheat torrent]

they are different

[mint umbra]

why do I need advertisement on installing 3rd part ai tools

on my gpu driver

[wheat torrent]

ollama used to not have a gui I recall

[jaunty apex]

Because the GPU do the AI and the AI sell gpu

[mint umbra]

most ppl dont use ai

[wheat torrent]

most people do use ai

[mint umbra]

hence why its losing money

[jaunty apex]

Nobody up there gives a shit

[wheat torrent]

there is more reasons for it to be "losing" money, people not using it is false

[jaunty apex]

Its space age technology and we need to put more monopoly money into it, the investors demand it

[mint umbra]

guess thats why it losing record amoust of money just cuz then lmao

[wheat torrent]

thats not how it works

[jaunty apex]

Lol

[craggy cove]

right when i wss about to put the side panel on

[wheat torrent]

I guarantee a high precentage of people use LLMs daily while they are operating a computer

[mint umbra]

ai industry is doomed to fail

[craggy cove]

a piece of the mobo vrm fell off

[wheat torrent]

google AI is absolute shit but a lot of people do use it

[mint umbra]

I highly doubt ur average joes are

[ivory mountain]

its not even profitable

[wheat torrent]

average joes are the ones to use AI the most

[mint umbra]

cuz its the first thing that pops up mate

[flint pulsar]

Even micro center is selling SSD at markup price wtf?

[jaunty apex]

I guarantee a higher percentage of people know what Linux is than AI

[wheat torrent]

yes and people use it

[flint pulsar]

These were less than $150 just 2 months ago

[ivory mountain]

and you wonder why it costs more when you have an OpenAI discord server tag

[jaunty apex]

Most people are just confused by ai

[mint umbra]

yes people use google mate what's fucking new

[wheat torrent]

the ai feature is new

which people use

you said people dont use AI (???)

[mint umbra]

reading an ai overview doesnt mean ppl use ai tools on their pcs mate

[flint pulsar]

Listen I see no wrong support a small local private family own business

[wheat torrent]

so google ai overview is not an ai tool

what is it?

[mint umbra]

its a ai integration on google

[wheat torrent]

so it's not an ai tool?

[mint umbra]

thats like saying mfs use co pilot when its pushed on to every microsoft app

[molten sleet]

it creates a summary based on the top results

[mint umbra]

like they dont have an option

[wheat torrent]

you can disable it

[mint umbra]

most ppl dont know how

[jaunty apex]

They use edge but only because it's baked into windows and they want to install chrome

[wheat torrent]

and the fact that it exists forcefully or not does not change in any way that people USE IT

[molten sleet]

-ai after your question

[wheat torrent]

you're saying people dont use AI when it's a literal feature that people actively use it

[sleek fulcrum]

Everything is 2x higher my ram is 399 now lol

[wheat torrent]

his point is that "people dont use ai"

[molten sleet]

went to best buy to look for an ssd and fell to my knees

[molten sleet]

my fault i tried to engage without proper context

[wheat torrent]

No I am providing context

[sleek fulcrum]

Yup lucky I upgraded last year

[wheat torrent]

his point is ridiculous

[molten sleet]

appreciate it

[mint umbra]

Id hardly call mfs using google saying they are an ai user

like there aint much other options for search engines

[molten sleet]

i think more people use ai than people realize and it's kinda scary. so many people use things like chatgpt as a replacement for google and take everything it says at face value

[honest flame]

What's the difference of the 5900x and 5900xt? Is the 5900xt that much better?

[sleek fulcrum]

I use Ai all the time when searching stuff

[mint umbra]

I wouldnt ai is wrong all the time

[wheat torrent]

People definetly use AI all the time, from teachers to students to office workers to all sort of people its not uncommon

[jaunty apex]

People use defaults. Defaults are known to be safe and familiar. People don't know how to switch or what to use most of the time

[sleek fulcrum]

Haha It isnt for me

[wheat torrent]

the only persons who wouldnt use it is people who SPECIFICALLY seek to not use AI intentionally for whatever reason

[sleek fulcrum]

Duckduckgo ai searching

[wheat torrent]

there are very few people like this in comparassion to the active AI userbase

[jaunty apex]

"Whatever reason" lmfao

[mint umbra]

ppl "use" ai cuz its baked into everything

[molten sleet]

5900xt seems to have more cores and cache but a lower base clock idk if it's worth $100 overpay if you dont have a use case for the extra cores

[wheat torrent]

"Whatever reason" as there are multiple reasons one may choose to do so

[mint umbra]

you cant escape it is the problem

legit everything has ai

[sleek fulcrum]

Wait for the Ai traffic lights. Quebec is already using them

[mint umbra]

fucking that have ai fridges and shit

[wheat torrent]

in 2025 chatgpt.com had 800 million monthly users

active monthly users

[mint umbra]

who cares no like likes quebec

[sleek fulcrum]

Lol

[jaunty apex]

Yes, 800m people are using chatgpt from various apis

[wheat torrent]

~800 million persons actively opened the website "chatgpt.com"

[jaunty apex]

As are bots

[grizzled frost]

that's not even AI, that's just basic ass machine learning

[wheat torrent]

oh really

so there are 800 million people that know how to use APIs

get out of here

[mint umbra]

ai shills never change

[jaunty apex]

No genius, people hook chatgpt into their apps that leypeople use.

[wheat torrent]

your either very misinformed or ignorant

[mint umbra]

lmao

[sleek fulcrum]

Still a form of ai

[grizzled frost]

Machine Learning is very much not "a form of AI"

[sleek fulcrum]

Ok

[mint umbra]

ai never should have existed

[wheat torrent]

AI is the generic term for the simple people

[grizzled frost]

AI doesn't exist

[mint umbra]

its a mistake

[wheat torrent]

AI doesn't exist yet

[grizzled frost]

just shit people incorrectly describe as AI

[wheat torrent]

well

[mint umbra]

lmao

[molten sleet]

wdym the ai in smash bros melee gave me a run for me money

[sleek fulcrum]

Blame the media

[mint umbra]

sure

[wheat torrent]

we can emulate the brain of a mosquito, you could consider that AI? maybe?

though a mosquito is not intelligent

[mint umbra]

either way its a mistake

[jaunty apex]

AI is a colloquial term atp to describe anything with a sensor or "advanced" capabilities

[grizzled frost]

when a mosquito can do my math homework i'll call it intelligent

[wheat torrent]

yeah youre right

but I think the emulation of a brain would be the true AI in my book

[grizzled frost]

Maybe not a human brain, but a brain on par with a human

That is what i would truly call "AI"

[wheat torrent]

some sort of brain

[sleek fulcrum]

Is ameca or Sophia still alive?

[mint umbra]

so like a monkey

[wheat torrent]

the current LLMs can never develop into AI

[mint umbra]

lmao

[wheat torrent]

even if you 10000x their parameter size

[mint umbra]

cuz of ai prob will never afford another upgrade

[jaunty apex]

Considering we've only really mapped an inch of the human brain, we have a bit to go

[rose stream]

And so your game enemies don't move or do anything, neither do your NPCs.

[jaunty apex]

Scripts

[wheat torrent]

talking of this

[mint umbra]

ai in npc and shit aint same as like ai generation

[wheat torrent]

I recently implemented a primitive "npc" logic to my game

[mint umbra]

or chat bots

[molten sleet]

this is just the gpu mining craze all over again at some point alternatives will arise or prices will go back to normal, companies will cut deals and whatnot

[wheat torrent]

just to add to this, the 2 companies that make the actual ram chips have mentioned they are not willing to increase production

[mint umbra]

companies are buying memory that hasnt even been produced yet up too 2029

[wheat torrent]

because it would be a risk for them to increase production and then the demand goes down like it was previously

[rose stream]

One of which said the demand companies wanted was considered impossible to fulfill in the expected time frame.

[wheat torrent]

point being production can be increased in a certain amount of time but it wont happen

[lunar hearth]

which is ai, guess

[wheat torrent]

DDR4 had a similar crisis also btw

[rose stream]

1st one.

[mint umbra]

I doubt they will bring prices back down greedy companies never bring it back down

[lunar hearth]

WRONG

[mint umbra]

both

[grizzled frost]

only a man could create such an atrocity as the second image

[lunar hearth]

actually the second one is ai and the first one is real

[ivory mountain]

furry miku is crazy

[lunar hearth]

I aint lying

[rose stream]

Sounds like you're the ai then. |D

[wheat torrent]

the second image is very good

[mint umbra]

I highly doubt they will bring prices back down after raising them cuz they are greedy

[lunar hearth]

i aint lying, the first pic is from an artist trying to piss people off

[wheat torrent]

this is not how it works

[rose stream]

Here's the thing: generative AI is not particularly good at 2d art or what it creates can be very simplistic in style depending on the prompt or given reference.

[wheat torrent]

there is not one guy that says ram will cost 300 dollars from now on

[ripe spire]

Okay where the fuck do I attach my mic arm that it doesn’t interfere with my wheel and whatnot

[wheat torrent]

the market works on supply and demand

[lunar hearth]

its not ai lol

[wheat torrent]

demand is very high right now and the supply is low the prices goes high

[grizzled frost]

how thick is that damn monitor?

[mint umbra]

like in other industries ive noticed when prices go high they never come back down

[wheat torrent]

for the price to go down demand have to go lower and supply have to be bigger

[jaunty apex]

Oh hi pins

[ripe spire]

Pretty thick, but not the answer I was after 😂😂😂

[jaunty apex]

Probably the right

[molten sleet]

hard to tell bc of lights but you can get a tripod or a weighted boom to put by your keyboard or off to the left

[ripe spire]

Sorry I don’t remember u 😭😭

[ivory mountain]

shit on the left looks like a damn studio light 😭

[jaunty apex]

From AKNES

[rose stream]

Lmao, then they succeeded in mimicking it well, that's why I believed. I've tested this for a while as a bit of a threat assessment after an incident in one of the online art communities I'm in, and the results look often very similar in most cases.

[jaunty apex]

Not surprised tho NGL lmao

[lunar hearth]

the cat one is ai lol

[mint umbra]

wanted to sell xtx for when 5080 super comes out but looks like thats never coming out

[wheat torrent]

super cards are coming since last year

surely they will come in september, surely they will come in winter, now surely they will come this summer

[vivid sparrow]

Hello I have reverse and normal tl lcd fans do I need separate controller for them? I can’t change the lcd on the normal ones but can on the reversed

[mint umbra]

heard they indefinaily delayed

[rose stream]

I'm starting to doubt it unfortunately.

[mint umbra]

so might have to wait till 6000 series to get rid of this card

[wheat torrent]

I doubt we will get 6000 series this q3

[mint umbra]

im aware

[wheat torrent]

maybe they will release the supers/ti for q3 instead

[rose stream]

Personally, I would just get a 9070XT if that thing was such a hassle.

[wheat torrent]

I mean for me, i just got a 4090

[molten sleet]

🤔

[mint umbra]

I want a nvda card

fsr sucks

[wheat torrent]

so you want AI

[rose stream]

Though so far, I've had virtually no issues with my 7900XT that were the fault of the hardware or drivers, so I'm not moving for a while.

[wheat torrent]

got it

[sharp ivy]

I wanted to play Scav Prototype on my Geforce MX440 but the pc doesn't support 64 bit

RIP

[rose stream]

Then why are you using it on a high end card?

[wheat torrent]

hypocrite 😭

[sharp ivy]

I guess I'm gonna have to use my 9800GTX

[molten sleet]

ai is cool sometimes bad for others, most people agree with ai upscaling, are mixed with chatbots, and dislike generative AI in the context of creative fields like music or digital art

[sharp ivy]

wayyy more vram

[mint umbra]

comparing upscalers to gen ai and shit liek chat gpt is crazy mate

[molten sleet]

no way amd and nvidia collab gpu /s

[wheat torrent]

whats the difference

[thin pecan]

has anybody had this issue where you cant control the be quiet case fan speed inside the bios?

[jaunty apex]

I'm most for the use in the medical field

[wheat torrent]

you know that for DLSS they have to train it with dozen and dozen and dozen of GPUs before releasing it?

training it like AI image generators

[molten sleet]

if you dont have a dedicated fan controller and are daisy chaining then the setting for one specific fan will control all of them

[rose stream]

I am very distrusting of it there in particular.

[wheat torrent]

whats the difference for you?

[plush ravine]

guys is this worth putting custom rom on it or should i leave it on stock?

[sharp ivy]

hehe

nope it's jusy nvidia

[mint umbra]

if you dont see the issue with gen ai over upscaling then im done talking to you

[jaunty apex]

If it can help fold proteins faster and more effectively find patterns in certain viruses I think it's worth looking into at least.

[wheat torrent]

no you're just being hypocrite saying no one is using AI yet you yourself are SEEKING it over alternatives

[mint umbra]

upscaling doesnt steal ppls work

[wheat torrent]

you just justify it because you want to use it

[thin pecan]

i have the light base 500 lx it should come with a pwm fan hub

[sharp ivy]

:3

[wheat torrent]

oh so now the issue is stealing work ?

[mint umbra]

last time I checked up scaling doesnt steal ppls art work

[wheat torrent]

I thought the issue was that people dont use it

so now we are changing goal posts to fit your narrative

[rose stream]

Mmm or they could instead reinvest into distributed supercomputing again, like with Folding@Home. Could even further improve that kind of software instead really.

[wheat torrent]

from people not using AI to AI stealing work

whats next are you going to bring the fact that it uses water

[rain lily]

dozens

[mint umbra]

ya im done talking to you

[molten sleet]

yeah but people dont mind retaining visual clarity in games vs consuming art trained on the data from other artists. most people buying music would rather support the creator the data was trained off of rather than the person generating images. a big part of art in the form of music isn't just the final result it's the process which allowed for the piece to be created, and simply generating art doesn't resonate with most people even if the final product did. like an AI song could sound good sonically, but learning that there were no musicians or producer's involved in the process just turns people off

[wheat torrent]

this bad but this good because I need it

[mint umbra]

art should always be made a human

[wheat torrent]

AI being ethical or not was never a point in the discussion we had, he just brought it up now because his previous point doesnt fit his narrative now

[jaunty apex]

I was forced to listened to AI generated weed songs. It was fucking awful

[mint umbra]

ai art has no soul

[wheat torrent]

his point was that people do not use AI which I said was irrational and made no sense

now we change from that to it being unethical which wasnt even brought out in the discussion before

[mint umbra]

I said the average joe doesnt

[grizzled frost]

the average joe absolutely does

[molten sleet]

it's not even a question of ethics i'm debating but rather the rationale as to why most people think DLSS good vs Sora bad

[mint umbra]

my dad who is like 50 doesnt even know what ai is

[grizzled frost]

yet when he googles things he 100% uses the ai overview

[wheat torrent]

he was mad that AMD drivers tool has an option for it to install softwares used for operating local LLMs

are you as mad also that AMD/Nvidia includes DSR and DLSS in your drivers?

[grizzled frost]

me when the AMD drivers tool has an option to… install drivers…

[mint umbra]

yes I am mad about this it should jsut be a drivers update nothing more

[molten sleet]

isn't AI that guy who made a song about a hardware store

[rose stream]

Uuhhh after a while of seeing stuff get out and about, this statement is not entirely true. It's utilized in some apps, services, and programs either directly or indirectly that are (even the ones that were) popular.
