grizzled frost
craggy pagoda
#

i care about fps in games like sea of thieves valorant gta cod etc

tidal geyser
#

Actual benchmarks show it being faster

carmine yew
#

Not especially.
But it's also title dependant

gritty panther

gritty panther
craggy pagoda
#

dude this is important to me u guys are all being sarcastic 😭

gritty panther
#

I click steam it launches my games. I click discord it launches

grizzled frost
#

what exactly are you worried about being different for "longevity" between the two cards?

tidal geyser
#

Fyi a lot of YouTubers also share the issue they find before posting a video or at least try

gritty panther
#

what's there to complain about? it works

mint umbra
#

what makes windows so different now from like 10 years ago

gritty panther
#

maybe because im just a filthy gamer that's why I dont get as affected as much

tired bear
craggy pagoda
#

im worried about, for the future of gaming and ai and etc. whats gonna maintain me the highest amount of fps for the next, lets say, 6-7 years

gritty panther
#

I honestly don't get it lol

mint umbra
#

cant you just remove it

mint umbra

tidal geyser
craggy pagoda
#

It will help you stay up longer

craggy pagoda

ill make tea rn if u help me i promise ill send a pic in chat for proof

grizzled frost
#

guys so i know rx9070 than rtx5070 is better for gaming performace fps wise
the first part of the first message you sent that started this discussion answers your question

mint umbra
#

linux users are same ppl who shit on apple phones

gritty panther
craggy pagoda
#

for streaming and gaming at the same time whats better

mint umbra
#

jsut feels like linux users try to hard to get ppl to switch

grizzled frost
tired bear
mint umbra
#

just get a 5090

frigid blade
#

Do you play a lot of ray tracing games? If not I’d probably get the 9070

mint umbra
#

ez

craggy pagoda
frigid blade
#

Pretty sure it only excels better in games with ray tracing

#

I’d just go with the one you can find cheaper

mint umbra
#

been thinking about selling my 7900xtx for like a 5070 or something cuz my 7900xtx just gets so hot

tired bear
gritty panther
#

it's still a beast.

mint umbra
#

Wish I could use dlss tho

craggy pagoda
carmine yew
grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

feel like ppl talk about how great the dlss trasformer model or whatever is

craggy pagoda
#

okay

#

thank you guys fr

grizzled frost
frigid blade
#

Literally atp just go with the one you find cheaper

mint umbra
#

and I never will get to try it

carmine yew
#

Dlss looks awesome

tired bear
mint umbra
#

with a xtx

gritty panther
frigid blade
#

Would 4.5 change your mind to choose the 5070 if it was the same exact price?

mint umbra
#

if there is a next gen nvda might just go full on ai

#

didnt they cancel the super gpus

grizzled frost
carmine yew
mint umbra
#

they cancelled the super gpus cuz of ai

#

from what ive read

grizzled frost
#

how does one even go "full AI", you still need a native rendered frame to base the AI frames on

gritty panther
#

anything with RAM is very expensive right now

frigid blade
mint umbra
#

so whats stopping them of just abandoning consumer gpus

tired bear
frigid blade
gritty panther
mint umbra
#

Just feel like thats the trend nvda is on

gritty panther
#

$269.99 10 months ago. ya'll shouldve bought it too back then

mint umbra
#

where they will abandon consumer gpus

grizzled frost
frigid blade
tired bear
frigid blade
#

All 4 dimms for $2XX

mint umbra
#

they will just appease gamers with gforce now

gritty panther
frigid blade
#

Yah I was so hyped, it was an eBay auction

gritty panther
#

I heard it's more expensive than gold now.

frigid blade
grizzled frost
#

16gb ddr4 ecc is about 75-100usd a dimm

tired bear
carmine yew
frigid blade
grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

and even if they still do consumer stuff just dont think will see same innovations as previous years since they aonly focuing on ai

#

will prob be minor uplift

gritty panther
grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

and still have 16gb of ram on 5080 cards

carmine yew
frigid blade
#

My entire Facebook marketplace for you is electronics, mostly ram, and the random scattered Dodge Chargers

gritty panther
#

good luck losers

mint umbra
frigid blade
#

I can’t believe the 4090 still sells for like $2.4k used

I said everything with RAM is expensive and you got mad about it

the reduction in uplift has very little to do with AI, and everything to do with Silicon limitations

frigid blade

It’s been listed for many days now

topaz copper
rocky shuttle
#

youre not the only one who thought about reselling

frigid blade
#

I’m gonna try cuz it’s so close, it’s a rich neighborhood so maybe they just don’t care

Either that or the seller just isn't responding

I've had so many just leave me on read for no reason

mint umbra

5080 should have had 24gb of vram

tired bear

If it's a good enough deal I usually do asking price, no reason in trying to get a better deal

rocky shuttle
mint umbra
#

thats dumb excuse

frigid blade
tired bear
gritty panther
mint umbra
#

doubtful

grizzled frost
#

most 4k games don't even fully utilize that 16gb of vram

mint umbra
#

for now

#

mate the 7900xtx was 1000 usd with 24gb

tired bear
#

i rarely utilise more than 8gb on my 9070xt

gritty panther

nvda is greedy

they get paid for advertising that shit, that's why they do it

amd pushing ai crap

grizzled frost

idk how hard that is to understand

azure topaz

half that shit i heard dont even work on amd

gritty panther

brb time to play

azure topaz
#

camo studio is actually amazing software and the fact that its in the driver installer now is funny

#

ive been using it for 4 years

grizzled frost
grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

pretty sure stuff like py torch and comfyui dont even work on amd when I looked into a while ago

#

cuz it doesnt have cuda

tired bear
azure topaz
#

look at floppa just crunching away

mint umbra
#

dont most ai apps need cuda

grizzled frost
frigid blade
#

Lmao what the fuck how is 64gb sodimm selling for $400-500

tired bear
frigid blade
#

Are people really that desperate they’re driving sodimm prices up to use with the adapters?

grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

what like that ZLUDA shit

grizzled frost
mint umbra
#

forget if thats the name or not

tired bear
mint umbra
#

if your getting into ai your better off just buying nvda gpu

tired bear
#

both do the same but are implemented diffrently

mint umbra
#

and dont only new amd gpus have the ai hardwear for alot of this ai stuff

#

like how fsr4 isnt offically supported like anything before 9000

tired bear
#

dont think about it too much

#

it isnt good for you

mint umbra
#

cuz they said fsr4 requires ai hardwear in the 9000 series gpus

tired bear
#

its purely software lock

gray sierra
mint umbra
#

"AMD FSR 4 is not officially supported on the Radeon RX 7000 series , primarily because
it requires FP8 (8-bit floating point) hardware acceleration to run efficiently"

drowsy isle
tired bear
#

"to run efficiently" aka it can run on others but it wont be fast so we software locked it away

mint umbra
#

amd has had an uphill battle cuz of previous gens driver issues

drowsy isle
mint umbra
#

so yeah no crap

#

amd could make best gpu in the world and still would sell less than nvda

#

cuz many ppl jsut refuse to buy anything that isnt nvda

the thinkpad of chromebooks

I did some part swapping and plastic cutting

but it works

primal timber

Or what I'm confused...

grizzled frost
#

You have to link your LTT forums acount

primal timber

Too much effort for a role.

But I don't wanna stay a filthy white role...

#

My old pc is only gonna be used for a minecraft server and for storage

#

I need to figure out the best core count for my use case tho

#

And to change that psu since its degraded now

#

Cant even handle a 600/685watt load anymore.

primal timber
cosmic stratus
#

The dell precision only takes server level components and that psu is hotswap with a proprietary interface

primal timber
cosmic stratus
primal timber

#

That connector plugs into a break out board with 8 pin for gpu, one 24 pin for mobo and a 2 10 pin cpu. One of which I used for more gpu power

cosmic stratus
#

B-A tier stuff since its meant for workstations and its hotswapThumbsUp

primal timber
#

Maybe it is actually since it's for servers...

#

I don't think they swap PSUS that often tho lol.

#

Maybe I'm wrong idk.

cosmic stratus

When it does happen u do need to fix it fast so

Today I learned that Intel made a 48 core x86 CPU in 2009

#

For Corsair DDR4, is 5.33 CJR or DJR?

rigid fjord
#

when tuned, yes it can make it use more power, but at the same time you can sett how much it will draw, you can use pbo to even reduce the power draw

glossy veldt

it seems its time to go back to xeon builds

with ecc ram

junior merlin
#

That, or sell a kidney

topaz copper
#

For Battery it depends on the System
My Macbook Pro isnt to bad even as a older M1 Pro Build but Tahoe is definitely worse than Sequoia so will likely go back to sequioa at some point

#

Tahoe is more of a bear on battery

topaz copper
junior merlin
#

Even DDR3 is expensive now

#

Compared to last month

glossy veldt
#

its slow yeah but ram is ram

grizzled frost
topaz copper
#

Toss 512GB or 1TB of DDR3 and at least you got a good mount of ram and only really loosing speed

glossy veldt
#

but I'm not buying ddr4

#

im going ddr3

grizzled frost
#

The catch is they're on bid, and will go up i n price before they sell

#

the price you see is not the price you'd pay to actually buy them

glossy veldt
#

oh you're right

topaz copper
# grizzled frost agree

Funny thing is
On my tech project list for this year is

  1. Move all Services that are on seperate Mini PCS to 1 Server
  2. Learn NeoVim
  3. Switch Fulltime to Hyprland on Deskop

Explore Migration to TruNas for ZFS - I can likely Migrate my Zpool

longer if it sits around unused

one day i'll go ThreadRipper

junior merlin

RAM will not expire from sitting on a shelf until the system that requires it is so antiquated that you cannot even connect it to the internet.

grizzled frost
#

Single core only 10% behind the 7800x3d (while also having 64 cores)

junior merlin

I miss HEDT chips.

grizzled frost

ignore the fact it costs a kidney though

topaz copper

Ye I have a Ebay Epyc

The problem is I don't NEED more than 16 cores right now. I need the expansion options, and the single thread.

I went Epyc for the lanes

I dont really need more Single Core just would be nice

I run a 3080, so give me all the single core pls

grizzled frost

Nics
U.2 SSDs
GPU
HBA
Eventual 25GB NICS
and second gpu
or More u.3 Drives

grizzled frost
junior merlin
#

Just run a server then

topaz copper
grizzled frost
#

NICs that slow don't need much PCIe

#

you can get away with 1 lane of gen 4 with a 10g card

topaz copper
junior merlin
#

Ok then

#

I don't see the confusion here

grizzled frost
#

1 lane of Gen4 is good enough for 25g even

topaz copper
#

Where is the confusion I said I wanted more ST

#

You assumed Desktiop

#

But its Mainly for HQPlayer Embeddded

grizzled frost
topaz copper
grizzled frost
junior merlin
#

Just buy a server from him

#

Then you can have AI compute, too

grizzled frost
#

you'd need to go through a SI like SuperMicro

7F52 for reference

grizzled frost

2 of those in a minor would have covered my needs

Yo I have a silly question my parents need new pc theirs is like a decades old prebuilt and can’t get windows 11 is it reasonable to just build them a cheap one buying a bundle at microcenter and the rest of the parts there ofc? All the prebuilt home pcs im looking at are like $600-700

is there like an alternative to memreduct cuz that shi has malware in it

this is all the enabled ones

grizzled frost

So out of all the apps listed in Task Manager, only two are listed as "enabled"

livid perch

and system is using 12 gigs of ram on idle

delicate geode
#

Is not longevity

grizzled frost
delicate geode
#

That’s quite the opposite no?

livid perch
#

ill uninstall it

topaz copper
grizzled frost
#

Just disable it and restart your PC

livid perch
#

still

grizzled frost
#

Also show the full list of apps in the startup menu

livid perch

at around 10-12 on idle

are you running out of ram at any point?

livid perch
#

idk

#

i didnt check while gaming

grizzled frost
#

Then it's probably not happening, you'd almost certainly notice

livid perch
#

js trynna figure out of 10 gigs on idle is normal

grizzled frost
#

I'm at 19.2 while "idle"

#

"idle" can mean so many things that almost any amount is normal

livid perch

how much ram u gott gang

grizzled frost

64

livid perch
#

ddr4?

grizzled frost
#

DDR5

topaz copper
#

livid perch
#

yeah yall rich

ivory mountain
#

idle doesnt really matter, same reason your browser can claim its using 60% of your gpu when nothing else is open

grizzled frost
#

I bought it before the ram prices shot to high heaven

livid perch
#

i wanna double the ram on my laptop too but CAS latency would lit almost double

topaz copper
#

Was 250 for 64gb at the time

ivory mountain
grizzled frost
#

I got 2x48 for 330usd

livid perch
#

GANG 2x32 6400 sodimm was lit 160 bucks

it is 622 dollars rn

I was planning to upgrade my ram after buying the laptop i bought the laptop but the ram almost costs half as much as the laptop now

junior merlin
#

GPUs are next

livid perch
#

Also i want to get a 2tb ssd

grizzled frost

Last price available for my kit was 1506usd

livid perch

any good reccomendations

Calling it now, we're going back to GPU apocalypse

it's entirely unavailable now tho

grizzled frost
livid perch
#

welp reccomend me one but idk what gen my ssd is

empty quartz
#

Personally i would go hdd with an ssd as a cache, but its a bitch to setup depending on your os

livid perch
#

and the other one is an older one

livid perch

Only thing i can basically upgrade is ram and storage

empty quartz

Do you have usb c

livid perch

i got 1tb of storage but i want a lil bit more

Slightly more serious topic. How can i avoid being despressed about pc building slowly becoming impossible. This has been such an important hobby to me and brought me together with so many people. Its all so serious and doom and gloom now

Its not even just AI though. Obviously gpus. But now we're getting to the point where the ceiling to entry is raising every year where in most countries the earning wages dont account for inflation. Disposable income is just less for so many people and if you dont have a good used market youre kindve screwed. The onlt saving grace is games arent 100$ yet but we know thats gonna change. Its like the phone situation every time there was a new one theyd increase by 100$ or so and then we let apple make their iphone 10 1000$ and its spiraled from there.

Someone donated us a laptop with a 1tb drive lmfao

clear canyon

Exactly

#

I might genuinely steal it

ebon marlin
#

Laptop has a weird ass fault aswell

#

Everything works but when you start moving your mouse with the trackpad the screen turns off

tidal geyser
#

Ec chip is failing somehow

#

O no 5v rail feeding trackpad and ec chip is failing

#

Or the trackpad is making a lot of noise

#

I dono I want to fuck with it now

ebon marlin
#

I don't think the trackpad has speakers attached to it

tidal geyser
#

Electrical noise ye cheeser

ebon marlin
#

I cleaned cables contacts and it seems to work now question mark

Who tf donated this? It's a perfectly fine laptop with a 10th gen i5 and a 1tb nvme

tidal geyser
#

Do some cycles also 39wh battery seems a bit small

tidal geyser
ebon marlin
#

39wh is pretty standard for basic laptops

ebon marlin

#

Most people are way too scared to even open their laptops

#

Cleaning the contacts and using the right stuff maybe do not even have the stuff needed is how it is for most people

ebon marlin
#

All i used was a toothbrush and a random isopropyl foam I found at another work table

#

Hmm 256gb nvme or msata

#

Eh I'll use the msata as it's also HP branded

#

Ulala the 1tb drive is also an intel drive

#

It's an Intel 660p

you are having these issues due to what happens with most native linux games, person wants to have a life and stops maintaining it or it just sucks

bold olive
#

no idea why

tidal geyser
#

x11 is a bit over 2x my entire life in age

#

there is a reason why wayland is taking over

bold olive
#

x11 is still there for compatibility reasons

#

cough cough nvidia drivers

what do you mean nvidia drivers

nvidia works amazingly on wayland
