[wheat torrent]

they should remove DLSS and FSR next time and have it only install the drivers

[grizzled frost]

that’s Al not AI

[gleaming rose]

is it mediatek or snapdragon

[mint umbra]

most of the apps used by them they dont have a choice

[golden palm]

guys anybody know what this could indicate? never saw this before

[molten sleet]

ginger AI is good too i think

[plush ravine]

snapdragon 720g i think

[grizzled frost]

okay? they still use it

[rose stream]

And they might know or care, as long as it works as advertised

[molten sleet]

no way this bug has been a thing since mw2019 lmao

[gleaming rose]

AI isn't all bad, though I think that generative AI in general has very limited use. I like it in the medical field, but I don't like it as a "person" to talk to, a thing that generates "art", or an excuse for poorly optimized games.

[golden palm]

in my 3 years of PC gaming I have never seen this

[jaunty apex]

Just graphical bug with the cape I assume. I've seen it before, should be fine after a minute or relaunching. If not verify file integrity

[gleaming rose]

check xiaomi.eu

[grizzled frost]

OI, don’t you hate on DLSS

[mint umbra]

like average joes arent openly trying to use ai it just happens to be introduced in softwear that they used for a long time

[grizzled frost]

DLSS 4.5 is a work of art

[mint umbra]

fsr sucks ass

[gleaming rose]

i'm not saying it's bad, i'm saying it's a poor excuse

[golden palm]

thanks, my GPU is on the verge of death so yeah new BS everyday to scare me off

[mint umbra]

ive never been impressed with fsr since getting amd card

[gleaming rose]

deveopers use it as a crutch to get out of optimizing their games

[ivory mountain]

i use xess instead of fsr on cyberpunk ngl

[molten sleet]

they want you to keep defending the point "no one uses AI" which is objectively wrong literally but kinda true in the sense that most people don't realize they're using AI in a broader context since the connotation most people have nowadays is AI = Generative and/or Chatbot

[wheat torrent]

average joes dont use DLSS ?

[rose stream]

That still justifies the general argument for them actually using it whether they realize it, wanted it, let alone know what it is or not.

[jaunty apex]

Well.. I mean if it's dying it's dying I guess but I have had this happen and resolve at the very least

[gleaming rose]

in general no consumer wants ai, even dell has realized this hence their CES show lacking it

[grizzled frost]

only AI i want is more DLSS

[mint umbra]

ces should have jsut called it the ai show

lmao

[golden palm]

thanks man , I'mma send the pC to a repair shop soon bcs the things my PC is experiencing is out of my troubleshooting skills

[mint umbra]

cuz that shit wasnt for consumers

[gleaming rose]

games of christmas past have looked just as good as the modern ones and yet performed 10x better without AI upscaling and frame generation

[plush ravine]

yup its snapdragon 720g.. what can i find on xiaomi.eu like roms or idk

[rose stream]

And in other places, it failed for the rest of us, even for people that wanted the app or service that had it for what it could do.

[gleaming rose]

xiaomi.eu has custom roms that add the china-exclusive features but remove the bloat and spyware

[mint umbra]

I dont like frame gen

[grizzled frost]

yeah CES this year was not for consumers

[molten sleet]

ironically enough i thought everything about the new monitor tech was awesome except for the AI features lol

[rose stream]

Anyone remember Duolingo?

[mint umbra]

I dont want fake ai frames

[grizzled frost]

cope

[gleaming rose]

actually, dell was pretty neat

[grizzled frost]

dlss 4.5 FG is fucking beautiful

[mint umbra]

fg is ass

[gleaming rose]

fg is ass

[grizzled frost]

You’re just wrong

[mint umbra]

and feels like ass

[molten sleet]

i dont think i had a chance to use it yet

[wheat torrent]

there is a trend

[jaunty apex]

Dell is the only one that is at least somewhat in touch with its consumers for once in their existence

[molten sleet]

it's alright in single player games imo

[grizzled frost]

You have to try to notice FG with dlss4.5

[gleaming rose]

portal 2 looks just as good as most modern games and runs on a smartphone

[mint umbra]

I cant use frame gen with the latancy

its so bad

[grizzled frost]

same latency as the base frame rate

[plush ravine]

ooo thx

[jaunty apex]

Warframe is a modern game and runs on a smartphone

[molten sleet]

portal 2 without rtx does not look as good as most modern games but it certainly doesn't look bad

[rose stream]

That's a pretty fair take.

[gleaming rose]

my point is, optimized games and incredible graphics are not mutually exclusive

[grizzled frost]

Correct

[molten sleet]

valid cs2 looks stellar on the highest settings even if no one plays it like that

[mint umbra]

fg ads like 15 ms latency from when I last checked

[gleaming rose]

developers have gotten complacent because PC hardware is advanced enough for them to do whatever the fuck they want, and FG just enables it

[grizzled frost]

Same latency as the base frame rate*

[molten sleet]

doesn't it depend on the base frame rate or is that 15ms guaranteed overhead

[mint umbra]

either way I can still feel it and feels like ass

[ivory mountain]

id rather use frame gen than fsr 3.0

[lunar hearth]

trump

[wheat torrent]

worth mentioning that if you play with 60fps or 200fps there will be a latency difference even if you have no frame gen

[gleaming rose]

that's a reason i'm so open to piracy, developers don't give a shit anymore so why should I

[wheat torrent]

so yes the base fps does matter

[grizzled frost]

you tried dlss 4.5 FG?

[molten sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/obanma-obama-trump-minnesota-meme-gif-17010502421668242710

[gleaming rose]

persona is great tho

[mint umbra]

I cant use dlss

[wheat torrent]

most of the times developers have no choice

[lunar hearth]

I can

[wheat torrent]

there is the developers who do the work then there is the business part

[jaunty apex]

I won't use fsr

[ivory mountain]

id be able to if a business would hire me but nope 😊

[mint umbra]

fsr is so shit

[wheat torrent]

the business part cares about the money and thats it

[gleaming rose]

you know exactly what i mean

[grizzled frost]

Then i really truly don’t care about your opinion on FG, because you have no personal experience with actual quality FG

[gleaming rose]

fine, development studios

[mint umbra]

amd should be embarrassed

[molten sleet]

just standard upscaling or frame gen? bc i'll be tempted to probe for more info if even standard dlss upscaling is too much for you

[wheat torrent]

back in the day game development was less business orientated and more passionate

[grizzled frost]

why do you need a business to hire you to use dlss 4.5?

[wheat torrent]

now game development is a business

[ivory mountain]

cause i need to buy a new gpu but they wont hire a 17 year old 😭

[jaunty apex]

Won't use DLSS either (however fortunately) because I'm not buying nvidia

[gleaming rose]

and the reason i pirate is because the passion has died down and so i don't care about supporting them

[wheat torrent]

problem is that the tools have changed also

[ivory mountain]

oh i everything too yay twins

[gleaming rose]

games made with passion are uncommon enough to the point where they got their own genre

[grizzled frost]

has been a business for like half a century

[wheat torrent]

engines are bloated and runs heavy by default

[molten sleet]

looking back at games like red faction gorilla and battlefield bad company 2 it's insane the amount of effort people used to put into games. i feel like old game dev was more of an art rather than a business venture

[mint umbra]

ive had too many issues with my xtx to stay with amd

[rigid shale]

i dont believe i ever got an answer to this

[gleaming rose]

not necessarily true

[wheat torrent]

yep that is my point

[gleaming rose]

also engines are not required and making the base engine of a game from scratch takes less than a month

[jaunty apex]

No way, its almost like they didn't always want to appease every person ever or the shareholders

[wheat torrent]

okay so let me paint a picture since I am working on a game myself

there is unreal engine and unity right

[mint umbra]

I mean we have seen games run on ue5 that run well

becuase they are optimized

[gleaming rose]

source: i have a friend who did this while balancing it with school and also having no formal training in programming, ever

[wheat torrent]

unreal engine is too heavy and I do not like how bloated it is, it is probably the best engine if I want to get shit done but I dont like the workflow

then you have unity which is whatever, you can do stuff with it it works but I am not a fan

[mint umbra]

I mean ive seen games run well on it just seems liek a dev issue not optimizing it

[gleaming rose]

i think you don't know enough about the art of game development

[wheat torrent]

then thats IT for the mainstream game engines

you have engines like godot/source which are a bit different but

[gleaming rose]

that's why you don't use mainstream engines if you are dissatisfied with them

[molten sleet]

but you'd think with computers becoming more powerful and tools becoming more accessible that we'd get more passion projects but i guess they don't make a big enough splash to continually exist in the public consciousness

[gleaming rose]

write your own game from scratch

[mint umbra]

ue5 just seems like devs dont put in work to optimize it

[jaunty apex]

We are getting them, just from smaller teams with smaller budgets so they take longer

[molten sleet]

games like peak and schedule 1 are great but they just get overshadowed so quickly

[gleaming rose]

yeah ue5 on its own is an incredible engine it just allows you to be lazy

[wheat torrent]

but if you look at other engines that the past decade used which are becoming more rare because everyone is switching to unreal engine ... they are not easy to use at all

for example cryengine, its a good performing engine, kingdom come 2 is a game that got released recently and people love its performance

[gleaming rose]

well yeah, normally game development isn't all templates and placeholders

[wheat torrent]

but if you want to use cryengine there is very little documentation, no tutorials and learning material is very little

[gleaming rose]

again, many games can be written FROM SCRATCH by a sufficiently knowledgeable developer

[wheat torrent]

the documentation that exist is out of date

[gleaming rose]

again, just write an engine yourself

[wheat torrent]

good games are hard to make

[gleaming rose]

if you are that dissatisfied

[gleaming rose]

^

[wheat torrent]

making an engine youre just making it harder

[balmy tapir]

use assembly ezpz

[gleaming rose]

doesn't have to be an engine, just the base of a game

[balmy tapir]

snake goes crazy on my calculator

[gleaming rose]

you gain performance, and your game seems more human because it takes away the corporate from it's heart

[wheat torrent]

though it is kinda sad to see a lot of game studios moving to unreal

this means that the very few other engines that do exist will die even faster

[gleaming rose]

and the game can be made faster because you know exactly how your engine works better than anyone else

this is what developers tended to do 20 years ago that made incredible games

[wheat torrent]

agreed

[gleaming rose]

so what's stopping you?

[wheat torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DWtkSVNvTg this was a great video I loved it

[gleaming rose]

if you're gonna complain so much, just do something about it

[wheat torrent]

sony was able to make this very small CD players like 20 years ago

[jaunty apex]

I can't wait to pick up Skate Story

[wheat torrent]

but they stopped making them

[kindred halo]

I miss using my T470s

[wheat torrent]

and there is only 1 company that makes this tech and its no where as great as it used to be before

[gleaming rose]

they got small because of competition

[wheat torrent]

its bigger and its worse than what we had in 20 years ago

[wheat torrent]

yep

[gleaming rose]

now the "competition" is companies agreeing to do the same thing yearly so that they don't have to invest in r&d

[wheat torrent]

if you watch this video the engineers that made the product on the right specifically mention this

no company manufactures this anymore so they could get it smaller if they did everything from scratch

which kinda is similar to what you mentioned before

while the knowleadge is not strictly lost, but as more games move to UE5

your option would be to make everything yourself from scratch

I think we still will have a very few decent mainstream game engines out there

I really wanted to use cryengine for my game

but I am not suicidal

[gleaming rose]

the knowledge is lost, the people with the know-how have retired or moved on by this point and the next generation of game developers doesn't bother because what's in it for them

[wheat torrent]

it feels like the only way to use this engine effectively

is if your team has developers that DID use this engine before

or devs that are in close contact with the engine dev team

[drowsy isle]

I knew it

[wheat torrent]

I think the devs of Kingdom come 2 did use Cryengine before

[molten sleet]

that would've been an insane find omg

[wheat torrent]

oh yeah

all their game engines use cryengine

[drowsy isle]

Might be forced to buy a portable ssd or take out one of my two 2tb ssds from my pc

[wheat torrent]

why?

[drowsy isle]

Have another pc that needs storage

[wheat torrent]

what about sata ssds

[drowsy isle]

My best bet is getting a cheap 500 gig ssd and then using portable storage for it. My other option is to transfer files from one of my 2tb ssds to a hdd and then take out the 2tb ssd

[wheat torrent]

are your ports disabled?

[drowsy isle]

Sata ssds are also horrendously overpriced

[wheat torrent]

oh wow

[drowsy isle]

Unless I get one of those best buy refurbished ones they’re not so bad on price only thing is getting a refurb ssd

[ripe spire]

Ohhh

[limber nacelle]

its also convenient for artists

because ue5 is so publicly accessible and theres just a lot of knowledge out there

which leads to people having more familiarity with it than say a propetiary engine

myself, im working on a ue5 project

[lunar hearth]

fuck it i am actually switching

[ripe spire]

Yeah cheers it actually was a decent idea lmao, look 😂

[wheat torrent]

😄 happy to help

[limber nacelle]

I will say though, ue5 is both amazing and an utter piece of shit

I spent 1 hour scratching my head trying to figure out issues related to IOR refraction issues with the fresnel node and I just couldn't figure it out

only to be told nah just leave ior at 1

also have a strange issue with lumen & opacity maps but thats another issue

[wheat torrent]

you have to see how shit the godot anti aliasing is

[limber nacelle]

cant be worse than what baldur's gate uses lol

[tacit star]

After I quit a game, desktop starts flickering and lowers the refresh rate. I think it gets fixed when I press Windows key. What is happening, is this a driver issue, or Windows 11 being garbage?
Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC, Red Devil 6900 XT (25.12.1), Alienware AW2725DF (360 Hz)

It wasn't doing this on my old Windows 10 (6700 XT)

its real all of the time

[craggy cove]

iot version might have something to do with it

where was it on the mobo?

Some setting I that need to change?

Or it's just how IoT works

[craggy cove]

those 5 vrm thingies

on the very left it came off i think

there should be 6

[craggy cove]

eh nvm 95% chance its not ltsc

sounds like some gpu driver thing?

[ocean axle]

windows likes to RAM cache a lot of disk stuff, its fine

ah

unused ram is wasted RAM, and windows is using RAM that would otherwise be idle

yea, an iGPU is going to have a fun time with that

fucking voxels

on the GPU

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-star-wars-gif-9746438618422637237

[tidal geyser]

what do those words mean

[ocean axle]

"draw dispatch" is referring to starting one unit of "cmdDraw", however that is fed to the GPU

in my case, i was profiling with VK (i ported it) using an indirect draw call

the GPU was finishing the draws about as quickly as it could start them, because each one was so small

w/ a 9070 XT

i ported it

thats an old version

[tidal geyser]

yup

[ocean axle]

like, i think i rewrote the whole thing old

yes, i have

[tidal geyser]

huh

[ocean axle]

did you never know those were my mods?

i haven't been hiding

[tidal geyser]

as with all works of art, you never see the artist

hm there are better words that could be said but im too sleepy to make a sentence out of em

[ocean axle]

im still quite proud of the performance of the 1.19.2 version of my multiblock system

its been benchmarked against others, and is the fastest (thats been tested)

perf was considered on total assembly time, divided by volume for time/block

mine assembles in around 200ns/block

[tidal geyser]

welp i got no clue how to import it

[ocean axle]

Cinnabar?

its just a mod, download the jar and drop it in mods

it should just work™

[ivory mountain]

mfs in youtube comments arent real

[tidal geyser]

yea no im too dumb

[stray plinth]

i have redone my shiny cpu pendant/keychain

[cosmic stratus]

@azure topaz I had to return my asus b550 F😔

[tidal geyser]

wha

[ocean axle]

yea, that should just work

though Cinnabar itself can nope out during load

[cosmic stratus]

DOA

[ocean axle]

check your logs, see if neo loaded it

[cosmic stratus]

I decided to "return" my psu as well but they gave me a refund immediately... free psu I guess

[tidal geyser]

wait what

[ocean axle]

yup, its working now

[tidal geyser]

ok yea crashes

[ocean axle]

i was lazy, and didn't implement the full ELS, so it just clears the screen to red

https://tenor.com/view/excited-fuego-gif-26833875

send log, but it probably wont get fixed

[tidal geyser]

running it on arch linux btw even tho this time i do actually need to say it

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/offense-texas-gif-23053045

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[ocean axle]

try an older version of Neo, I compiled that against 21.10.12-beta, sooo old version

[viral kayak]

-0?

[ocean axle]

-0 is just a quirk of IEE754

[tidal geyser]

horay

[ocean axle]

-0 == +0

[viral kayak]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just be 0

Instead of saying -0

[ocean axle]

the bit for "is negative" is its own thing

so, theres two versions of zero

one with "is negative" set to false, and one with it true

so, you get +0 and -0

but the actual value is equivalent

[tidal geyser]

its not doing well

[viral kayak]

I want to overclock my gtx 1070 but I’m lowkey scared

[ocean axle]

yup, that checks out

[tidal geyser]

not that bad but like uh 40 fps at best

[ocean axle]

what RD is that?

[tidal geyser]

RD?

[viral kayak]

Alderlake is the ultra chips right?

[ocean axle]

render distance

[tidal geyser]

12

[sage pollen]

Clapped out ford fiesta or this?

[tidal geyser]

deep fried

[tidal geyser]

me got a 12700h

[viral kayak]

Some people get smoother gameplay on higher rd

[tired bear]

can i get it more crispy?

[ocean axle]

got any more of them there pixels?

[viral kayak]

Laptop chip ?

[sage pollen]

Ye was too lazy to get photoshop so i used a shitty website

[ocean axle]

fun

[tidal geyser]

das what de h is for

[ocean axle]

so, Xe has the fun problem of not liking draw indirect

[tidal geyser]

when im not moving my mouse the fps is ok but the instant i do yeee

[tired bear]

ja ja naturlich

[ocean axle]

oh, it might be shuffling stuff around in RAM a lot

it'll do that if it thinks it needs to

[tidal geyser]

arc raiders is just orange on dx12 but on linux for whatever reason trying to force it to dx11 does not fix it like it does on windows and such

[ocean axle]

always fun to see it shit the bed

[viral kayak]

He should use something like optifine to boost his fps no?

[tidal geyser]

already doing that

[sage pollen]

wha-

[plush wren]

why not sodium

[tidal geyser]

also no not optifine

this runs really fkn well

[ocean axle]

are you just missing context, or?

[tidal geyser]

i get like around 30 fps on 1%s on linux than i do on windows

[sage pollen]

Get more rgb unicorn vomit, 10% extra fps for each rgb emitting module

[tidal geyser]

this aint a gaming laptop

even tho its built like one

[sage pollen]

no rgb 💔

[spring latch]

My N6000 is dead
tbh easy shortcoming
im not lying
my C2D T5750 is faster than it. Some shit bottlenecking it extremely

[spring latch]

try sodium too

[sage pollen]

even more fps boost if u get extra displays on ur case or cpu cooler

[viral kayak]

Minecraft suffers from memory
Leaks I think

[tidal geyser]

should i add even more salt to it or what

[tidal geyser]

nah

[spring latch]

sure

[spring latch]

only bedrock edition

*bugrock edition

[viral kayak]

Pretty sure some older versions had memory leaks

[spring latch]

nope

[tidal geyser]

everything has memory leaks

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-cook-cooking-salt-gif-4627757

[tidal geyser]

america be like

[ocean axle]

what makes you think MCJE doesnt have any memory leaks?

[sage pollen]

is it healthy to drink watet with chlorine?

[tired bear]

10% less than a lethal dose

[tidal geyser]

well you are doing it when swimming in most pools

[tired bear]

depends

on dose

[tidal geyser]

well so does everything

[tired bear]

yes you can overdose on water

[ocean axle]

dont drink too much water, that can kill

[tidal geyser]

hey i was gonna say that

[tired geyser]

hello guys i have a question and need some help with building my pc. i have 6 fans, but my mothreborard only has 3 fan spots, how can i connect them in a way where i can use all 6 fans? or is there anything i can look up to help with visual explanation

[stray portal]

Use a fan hub

Theyre better than just connecting to motherboard anyway

[tired geyser]

ok, thak you so much, ill try to buy one

[tidal geyser]

got to love me some optimizations

[stray portal]

Waat is dis

[tidal geyser]

minecraft

[viral kayak]

Is this on 32 chunks

[stray portal]

What minecraft

[tidal geyser]

latest version

[tidal geyser]

funny you should ask, i set it to 32 then set it to 12

[stray portal]

hmm kinda sad

[viral kayak]

You should see how all these optimizations hold up against that one mod that extends render distance and shaders

[tidal geyser]

this is on a laptop that uses half the power my gpu was idling at the start of its life

[stray portal]

I usually keep mine at 24 chunks cuz i can see far out and still get good performance, 32 is kinda wasteful since you arent seeing that far out anyway

[tidal geyser]

this one has distant horizons

[tidal geyser]

weak only 1k fps

[stray portal]

Mr frame per second

[ocean axle]

thats not even my screenshot

[viral kayak]

It doesn’t look like it does but I guess that’s because your on 12 chunks?

[tidal geyser]

enough frames for those 1khz monitors to make sense

[quaint mesa]

whats a affordable gpu for 1440p

[stray portal]

Idk what mods i had but at one 2000+ fps

[ocean axle]

B580

[viral kayak]

Used 4070

[stray portal]

I think it was neoculus and embeddium

[tidal geyser]

think distant needs the already rendered stuff as you cant just make up stuff

[tired geyser]

what price range or brand do you recommend? or does it not really matter

[tidal geyser]

it does not matter

[viral kayak]

I mean it’s all generated when you make the world so it should be able to work no matter what I think

[stray portal]

It doesnt matter they all do the same thing, but make sure if your fans are pwm that you get a pwm fan hub

[ocean axle]

DH/Voxy both use the world info to generate LODs, much like the base game does for the renderchunks

[ivory mountain]

why did your picture get microwaved

[stray portal]

Voxy and nvidium are so nice yet so limited they only work on nvidia

[tidal geyser]

so pre generated ish?

[stray portal]

I think you can pregenerate it with chunky

Atleast with voxy, otherwise you only see the chunks youve generated yourself

[ocean axle]

i think voxy saves the LODs off

[winter lantern]

Just play bedrock cause you can do 96 chucks and run fine

[ocean axle]

Voxy should work on other cards

and nvidium is mostly just needing mesh shader support from AMD

[ivory mountain]

ewww bedrock

[ocean axle]

which exists on VK, but not GL (except maybe mesa is implementing it?)

[ocean axle]

does it let you go to 96 still?

[tidal geyser]

why is opengl still so big

[winter lantern]

Why wouldn't it

[ocean axle]

IIRC, with the VV release that was lowered

[ocean axle]

wdym?

[winter lantern]

You can just turn it off!!

Because vv sucks

[ocean axle]

oh, if you turn VV off it lets you go to 96 still?

iirc, w/ VV on its limited to 24

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine its age ought to be catching up to it at some point

[winter lantern]

Yeah

[ocean axle]

i mean, VK replaced it a decade ago

[tidal geyser]

yea

[ocean axle]

problem is, software moves slow

VK was released, and is support starts to get added, then software can move once theres enough support in the wild

for MC specifically, they have the fun issue of a huge playerbase, so they can't reasonably drop basically any percentage of users, because even a very very small percent is a lot of players

[tidal geyser]

another thing is also mods

when i think of minecraft its mods i mostly think of

[ocean axle]

"they" speaking in the 3rd person when this is soon to be my problem to deal with

[tidal geyser]

good luck have fun

[ionic peak]

I would want 1k fps in my future base

[ocean axle]

ill be working on that

[ionic peak]

even on a modpack?

[tidal geyser]

very fun

[ocean axle]

making the base game faster will help modded versions too, so, yes indirectly

[ionic peak]

ye then i could have more than 30 fps in my base

[plucky lodge]

are there moniors without these black bars on sides?

[silver estuary]

is there any tangible difference between brands of rx 9070 xt?

i found a sale on an ASRock one

but its not OC

for 650

[gleaming rose]

get whatever is cheapest from a reputable brand

there is 0 discernible difference

[quick stag]

Guys what do yall think of my completely custom music dashboard

(Heavily modded fork of a GitHub project)

[left trellis]

How does the 4080 mobile compare to the 4080

[gleaming rose]

significantly weaker

like there's no comparison the mobile GPUs are hot ass against the desktop model

[left trellis]

So what would it be like

4070?

[gleaming rose]

i'd say you'd be looking at a little over half the performance of a real 4080

To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a consumer monitor without some kind of bezel.

[spring latch]

I'm migrating back to my 1TB HDD, in my use case an SSD provided me zero benifits, I do data from to something else, usually a USB which is always slower

plus the HDD in my 2008 laptop is failing

so id like to use that 480GB SSD for something else

[glossy veldt]

with these ram prices i might be better off putting my a2k on my ibm server with 16gb of ram 😭

[spring latch]

I have 24GB due to pre aquisiton lmao

[glossy veldt]

i could buy a 16gb stick of ddr3l ecc for like $20

[spring latch]

are you telling me

DDR3 is affected too

[glossy veldt]

probably but I'm argentine so high prices are normal for me

[spring latch]

a

[glossy veldt]

like if i wanted to buy brand new 16gb stick of ddr4 I'd need to get

[spring latch]

DDR3 prices are usually based on the supply chain being massive, which is why it's so cheap

DDR4 AND 5 are being eaten up

[glossy veldt]

between 180000 ars to 275000 ars

so a median of 200k argentine peso

[spring latch]

what the fuck

[glossy veldt]

give or take about 150 usd

for a single 16gb stick of ddr4

[spring latch]

it's 71 USD

I'm so fucking happy I had all my hardware before hand

[glossy veldt]

argentine peso

[spring latch]

like sure it's only an i5 7400 and 4G RX 580 BUT STILL

[glossy veldt]

im happy to have gotten a 10th gen i3 back in 2022-2023 i forgot

[spring latch]

go to eBay I think they haven't quite caught up

[glossy veldt]

[glossy veldt]

oh imports and shipping eat me alive

like an item might be 20 usd but shipping and imports are 70

[spring latch]

there's a free shipping tick for a reason

[glossy veldt]

ive seen free shipping on chinese items i want to get an old xeon

and bring my server to it's glorious 2 xeons

[spring latch]

oh yeah old xeon are like 10$

I've seen some 2015 ones with however many cores for dirt cheap cuz people just dump them

[glossy veldt]

my plan is to get two xeon x3675 or whatever the cheapest high end xeon of 2008 was

[spring latch]

don't go older it gets more expensive

[glossy veldt]

and then create a 16 core 32 thread 2010 monster

[glossy veldt]

i picked up a cheap ibm x3550 m2 for like $20

[spring latch]

an E5 2490 is from 2012 and can be like 10$ each, I know that's like 14,000 ARS but still

[glossy veldt]

it supports xeon 5600 only

i mistyped x3575 lmao

[spring latch]

that being said the boards are expensive

so work with what u got

lemme post a pic of my hilarious server

now the last thing to upgrade is my ssd and my youtube machine is done

grrrr i hate pc gaming

The thing is; people tend to complain only when apple is having issues, when samsung (or any other android device for that matter) has major issues it gets swept under the rug

[gilded harness]

people act like apple is luxury brand (yeah this is stupid) and expects no issue from them

[empty quartz]

Id still take an apple device over samsung either way

The cameras are far better

[spring latch]

I’d say apple videos are better, cameras are whatever

But apple afaik sucks at zoom, not sure about current gen

[empty quartz]

Whats your newest iphone you have experience with?

[sinful cobalt]

also i need to send my phone fo a battery replacement its slowin lagging

[sinful cobalt]

14p, ive tried a 17p but not the zoom on that thing

[empty quartz]

17p series has a far better telephoto camera than even the s25 ultra

[sinful cobalt]

however to tell the diff between the flagships you really gotta nitpick

[sinful cobalt]

really? I’ve only tried the s23 ultra for samsung’s side

[empty quartz]

Nvm

2mp less

[sinful cobalt]

compared to my 14p the s23u shat on it in zooming

[empty quartz]

Well yeah, s23u uses ai

Ai slop

[sinful cobalt]

regardless my 14p looked like a dying ant

[empty quartz]

@sinful cobalt i got to compare an s24u main sensor (“200mp”) to my 16 pro max’s main sensor (48mp), and the difference would make you think the s24 ultra is from 7 years ago

@sinful cobalt

would a restore point work instead not sure how to manually update and would it be better to do it while in safemode?

[sinful cobalt]

i'd create a restore point for what ur system is at rn and then manually go update whatever you need

[cerulean dawn]

ye sure but how do i manually update?

bro why do u keep sending these vids?

[glossy veldt]

i should buy 32gb of ddr3 ram at 35 hsd

this the kind of "manual update" u mean? bc whenever i do this it just reverts the changes

Right-click the device -> Properties. On the Details tab, change the Property dropdown to Hardware Ids, then copy the value from the list. Hopefully there's a VID_ and PID_ value. Googling this might tell you what device this Unknown USB Device belongs to.

I feel a little dumb rn. I have been troubleshooting for an hour and then I had a hunch where the CPU isn't getting power because my board isn't posting at all. So I looked annnnnnd the CPU connector isn't connected to the PSU

[kindred halo]

Atleast it wasn't a "real" issue

[tidal geyser]

front panel

some motherboards even have a usb 2.0 header on it

right on there not one of em internal ones

[gaunt spade]

is this real corsair

[tidal geyser]

yea real bad

[tidal geyser]

iv almost never seen anyone fake anything but like earpods or whatever

[gaunt spade]

no i know theres fake corsair stuff

does this look legit?

[tidal geyser]

there is a serial number on it

[gaunt spade]

is there a serial number checker

or can someone not just fake a serial number

[tidal geyser]

did you not do any research

[sleek ibex]

[tidal geyser]

kinda badly said but you can just send a message to corsair support and ask

[tidal geyser]

no he is wondering if its legit

you can see the SN on the psu in his picture

[gaunt spade]

ok thanks i sent a message

[tidal geyser]

fyi the cv line is pretty bad

[thorny saddle]

Ok weirdo

[tidal geyser]

eh cv650 is ok

just ok

[gaunt spade]

c tier

[tidal geyser]

yes old c tier

[gaunt spade]

it cost me like 18$

[gaunt spade]

old?

[tidal geyser]

are you buying it brand new for 18$?

[gaunt spade]

nah used

[cold skiff]

Still too much

[gaunt spade]

18$

[tidal geyser]

cv line is like 7 years old at this point

[cold skiff]

Buying a used power supply is like putting part worn tyres on your car

[gaunt spade]

new costs too much

[cold skiff]

You’re gonna get ripped off and it’s gonna fuck up in the not too distant future

[gaunt spade]

where i live people use way older psus

[tidal geyser]

new costs like 80$ for a good one

[gaunt spade]

and lower then c tier psus

[gaunt spade]

yea exactly

4x the price and im gonna flip this

[gaunt spade]

bro knows

[tidal geyser]

meh if its in a used parts with a used psu it does not really matter as much

[cold skiff]

Costs too much. Says he’s gonna flip it.🤦‍♂️

[gaunt spade]

i can sell it for more then double

im i supposed to buy it for 10$?

[tidal geyser]

fyi if the psu breaks and takes the pc with it your most likley out all of that money

[gaunt spade]

im safe

[tidal geyser]

well not if the PSU breaks

maybe at best just the psu dies and you have a spare

[gaunt spade]

i also bought a thermaltake aircooler for 8$ brand enw

[gaunt spade]

i have 2 spares for myself

[tidal geyser]

nothing wrong with that

iv bought the id cooling a620 for like 20$ a few times

[gaunt spade]

sadly its pricier here

[tidal geyser]

i tend to upgrade the cooler on most of the puters i build so i got a shit ton of spare stuff with no mounting stuff

[winter lantern]

Is ts worth

[tidal geyser]

way better than a 1650 super yea

DLSS would be way better for your display but 400$ for a 9070 is not the worst in these times

i would just ask for a receipt just in case and hope it has warranty but not sure how it works in not sure where you are again.

[jovial swan]

probs a very dumb question, but can you watch 4K content on a macbook pro (m1 and forward)

[tidal geyser]

watch?

[gaunt spade]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-patrick-star-watch-patrick-star-time-patrick-patrick-watch-gif-24549688

[tidal geyser]

the m1 13.3 is 2560-by-1600

so think of it like desktop 1440p but a few more pixels

[tidal geyser]

but yes the m1 can edit in 4k aka ofc it can watch in 4k

[sleek ibex]

I don't see why it wouldn't

[tidal geyser]

maybe apple did a ea

as in gotta pay to get 4k decode

Chat, should I get 2 shitty DDR4 sticks and oc them from 2666 to 3600 just to replace the single ram stick that died in my pc?

[hallow jasper]

do you know how to do any of the things you just said

[vestal stream]

Yes

[hallow jasper]

lets figure this out. If you know how to do that, know the mystery kit in question can do that and you want to do that then.. just do it

[vestal stream]

It's the latter that I'm not sure about. It's micron Memory and Idk how good those are with OCs

[tidal geyser]

2666 to 3600 is brave

[sleek ibex]

@hallow jasper unrelated was the Q6600 released in 2006?

[hallow jasper]

depends on the specific IC's, not necessarily just the manufacturer

[sour storm]

ordered the psu and noticed the store has a 10 year warranty

[tidal geyser]

the psu not store

[hallow jasper]

2007 i think?

[sour storm]

i said the store because i feel like corsair isn offering 10 year warranties

[vestal stream]

I've read about people doing it to 3200 with looser timings

[sour storm]

also bought a gpu bracket just to be sure

[tidal geyser]

wait also you would be doing it on 2 different sticks

[hallow jasper]

just because its micron doesn't mean its bad

[vestal stream]

Cus the guy is selling two sticks and I only need 1. I get the other as a uhhh. Evurity measure.

[hallow jasper]

but if you're buying two shitty jedec dimms, there is no guarantee of anything

[sleek ibex]

Ah. Then now that I think of it, it was actually the QX6700 that was our first WC'd CPU. Especially since I vividly remember being the tail end of 2006 was when we did it. Damn older cousins had enough to spare in dough I guess

[hallow jasper]

They are depending on the model tier https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033067832-Warranty-Corsair-Limited-Warranty?_gl=1*fsx3p3*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gbraid=0AAAAADPCiRebTPLlpnJygtz4-Hh8IJj2_&gclid=CjwKCAiAssfLBhBDEiwAcLpwfv08lEYJdYCskMRZqw-yQ8MTd5NONwci9WLZ-qblR1J8SqXLqugmtxoCaVIQAvD_BwE#h_fa4f9672-b385-4d1f-81d9-84ab99de9c97

I'm gonna low-ball it with 30$+shipping

[frank wraith]

My pc is holding on my hopes and dreams

[ebon marlin]

brand new almost 600€ midranger only having 8gb of lpddr4x ram lmao

and also UFS2.2 flash oh my god bruh

[hallow jasper]

I'd hate to have to care about phone spec details

do apps run and can it make phone calls? cool

[ebon marlin]

if im buying a 600€ phone I would expect specs that aren't from a 100€ phone

[frigid blade]

Perfect listing

[ebon marlin]

SMELLS LIKE ARMPIT AND FEET?!

I might genuinely get that

[cold skiff]

What’s a $100 phone spec? 2gb ram ?

[ebon marlin]

motorola g15

[valid fiber]

the ram prices had to affect phones eventually

[ebon marlin]

that's just cheaping out

Crucial had good products they just did a shitty move

[tidal geyser]

No crucial was well regarded to be one of the worst ddr5 makers

So many people got those kits and could not hit their speeds

And micron ddr5 ofc same problem

[rigid shale]

i need a b450m board to upgrade my homelab to my r5 5600, does it really matter what model i get?

was looking at the msi a-pro
