tech-chat-1

[gleaming rose]

light gaming (mostly indie and persona) and day to day work

[latent tundra]

literally required

[ebon marlin]

igpu

[kindred halo]

10GBit maximum? For USB?

[serene python]

yeah

[kindred halo]

Yeah iGPU works

Anything with an ARC or Radeon iGPU (if its atleast a 760m) will be more than fine

[ebon marlin]

Modern igpus can do heavy AAA gaming easily aswell

[gleaming rose]

I will miss the pen from the yoga but unfortunately they had to fuck me over by not using a 12XE chip

[kindred halo]

The 760m is iirc ± 1650 power

[ebon marlin]

780m

[kindred halo]

780m outperforms it in some regards

[gleaming rose]

if they had the 12XE I would just get it and turn off the dgpu when not in use

[gaunt spade]

even if i got to here?

[latent tundra]

judging from the space nothing is in there right

just nuke the partition again and create new one, again

[gaunt spade]

just did that

it worked

🥹🥹

[latent tundra]

don't forget to bypass Microsoft Account requirement and disable Bitlocker

[gaunt spade]

by account requirtments u mean internet thing right

and what about bitlocker how to disable that

[latent tundra]

manage-bde -off in CMD, Btw play it safe and disable sleep while it's decrypting in Power Plan

also yea

the connect to internet thing

although you could do that before that in Rufus

[gaunt spade]

oled screen is so good

[latent tundra]

gotta re create install media and redo the installation tho

[gaunt spade]

too much work

[tidal geyser]

never going back to lcd on laptops

tho i have sold my desktop oled and gone to va

[rigid fjord]

That's decent for a pbo tuned r5 3600 tbh

[ebon marlin]

Just asked what his server cpu was again and it was an i7-5960x

[raven scroll]

this is fact

[rigid fjord]

Highest oc on an r5 3600 is 5.6ghz

[raven scroll]

altough i think the difference between 60hz and 240 is much more noticeable

[ebon marlin]

The i7-5960x is significantly better than the 7500T but 7500T still performed significantly better

[cosmic stratus]

This is static per ccx oc. Pbo hits 4.3ghz

[cosmic stratus]

Oh my god

[raven scroll]

wrong server mb

[rigid fjord]

Either sata is set as raid in bios or borked installer

[ebon marlin]

He always had quite big overclocks on his 5960x just so he could keep up and still it performed poop

[gaunt spade]

this laptop has 3k oled 120hz

[rigid fjord]

Nope, it'll work without that tbh, it'll be the installer instead

[gaunt spade]

240 wouldve been better tho

[cosmic stratus]

I have the xeon equivalent of 5960x which is a e5 1680v3

[raven scroll]

its actually crazy how noticeable the cursor lag is with 60hz

but ig that doesnt rlly matter for just a work laptop

[rigid fjord]

Pbo can hit up to 4.5 with some of them tbh

[cosmic stratus]

Thats cool

Couldnt get mine to do it tho 🥲

[gaunt spade]

60 is unuseable

[rigid fjord]

Bullshit

[cosmic stratus]

[cold skiff]

Imagine when we all went from 60 to 100. Mind blowing in the 00s

Even better when we moved from TN panels also

[gritty panther]

wow they have the U1 on microcenter now 😄

china numba one

[high elm]

goated cpu

iirc my 5960x did 4.5ghz on the deluxe ii

[gleaming rose]

anyone have thoughts on the microsoft pluton

[high elm]

the 1680 is a better bin

the 1660V3 is a 1:1

[cosmic stratus]

ohh ok

[gleaming rose]

ok well the laptop with the DGPU has a 20wh larger battery

i guess the rtx 5060 laptop is so damn inefficient it doesn't even matter

https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-work/expertbook/asus-expertbook-ultra/techspec/
https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Yoga_Pro_9_16IPH11?M=83SF0006AU
i'm between these two

the former has arc b390, the latter has only 4xe + a laptop 5060

[rigid fjord]

tbf, b390 is around a 3050 performance

[gleaming rose]

very power efficient and the performance should be acceptable

[tidal geyser]

The fun part is that you have the same performance when not plugged into a wall

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it's only competition igpu wise is the 8060s from amd which is a 3060 equivalent in performance

[tidal geyser]

And with the right tuning way better simpler game battery life

[fallow yacht]

sup nerds

[tidal geyser]

The 8060s is still faster raw but it also used one hell of a lot more power doing so

[rigid fjord]

yup, stil realistically, igpu wise, the only competition against a b390, though tbf can wait to see the next gen of igpu's from both sides

[tidal geyser]

My 140v is already GTX 1060 6GB desktop tier

Probs a bit faster even

[rigid fjord]

amd has had a few jumps igpu wise, intel with less jumps but greater inprovements lately

amd igpu performance jumps currently

i'd have to double check on intels side but it's been something like weaker than a 1030, then around 1030 performance, then to around 1060 performance and now with 3050 level performance

so less jumps, but greater performance increase, which is a flip over against amd

[tulip helm]

i have a rk61 and my friend got me some gray switches which have plastic pins and it doesnt connect to my keyboard

[rigid fjord]

are you on about the top of the switches?

said different tops of keyboard switchs @tulip helm

[fallow yacht]

don't they have like 2 pins or smth?

[tulip helm]

its from leobog

[rigid fjord]

also, less of a wonder, especially as how microslop has been lately

[fallow yacht]

send switch pic

[rigid fjord]

like this ?

[tulip helm]

it does look similair but without the gaps on the sides

[fallow yacht]

what does the under look like

[tulip helm]

2 plastic pins on 2 sides

next to each other

[fallow yacht]

like this?

[tulip helm]

It doesnt have a long plastic thing in the middle and without the metal pins

[rigid fjord]

that's the bottom of it not top

[fallow yacht]

no wonder

[rigid fjord]

send an actual pic then

[fallow yacht]

two metal pins are important @tulip helm

[tulip helm]

hold up im in a rl match

[rigid fjord]

quit the match, it's not important

[tulip helm]

its ranked

anyways i think my keyboard can only handle red blue and brown

[fallow yacht]

nah it can handle anything just have the right pins for it

[rigid fjord]

doesn't mean a thing tbh

also if you have a 5 pin switch, it'll work in a 3 pin switch hole, the plastic legs can be cut off

[twin cape]

Are ps/2 keyboards better than usb ones

[rigid fjord]

technically, yes

[tulip helm]

Like i said 2 pins

[brave brook]

the board with weirdo m.2 slot

[rigid fjord]

send pics

[twin cape]

Are there like new ones manufactured

[rigid fjord]

that i don't know

[twin cape]

I kinda want one but never found them

Those ibm ones are very expensive

[rigid fjord]

those are 5 pin, not ps/2

though easily enough to convert over if you wanted to do, and have the tools, patience, skills and 6 pin din plug for ps/2

[twin cape]

Seems easy to convert

[rigid fjord]

so it has no pins other than the plastic stabs, are they all like that?

[twin cape]

Thankyou for the useful images

[tulip helm]

Yup, but its a "magnetic switch" or something

[fallow yacht]

sounds like you got some demo switch you'd see at best buy or smth

[tulip helm]

Idk it does work on my friend's keyboard

somehow

[rigid fjord]

if you wanted to convert them to usb

[delicate wedge]

Bruh Apple is lazy to change the colours again

[twin cape]

Wouldn't that be a downgrade

[rigid fjord]

depends on the mobo tbh

but having all the info for the pinout lets you choose what you'd want to do

[abstract wigeon]

when was this launched? havnt seena nything on it

[delicate wedge]

Like only two hours ago

[abstract wigeon]

neat

anything else announced?

[delicate wedge]

Nothing else I can see

[twin cape]

But isn't the Sony:[insert nuclear warhead codes] better?

[dawn garden]

hi guys

i ditched windows on my main pc now

running mint cinnamon 22.2

wanna see my cute desktop 😄 (hydrapaper used to make multi display wallpapers)

[twin cape]

Ok

[dawn garden]

hehehe i named it the Kirbputer

[wheat torrent]

stomps on it

[dawn garden]

jokes on you kirby is squishy!

[twin cape]

Ha cool but they ai though

[dawn garden]

..theya re?

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/minion-spring-crazy-insane-going-insane-gif-7257954943087154775

[dawn garden]

how do you tell if a picture is ai

🙁 how do i get good kirby wallpapers

[twin cape]

I know in the balls

[dawn garden]

i just pulled those off of google

[ocean axle]

You look at it, glhf

[dawn garden]

mkay...

its kind of hard to tell when its a pink blob ....not like his hands are gonna be messed up

[twin cape]

@dawn garden seriously, look at ai detection tools online

[ocean axle]

It can be hard to tell

[wheat torrent]

those are shit

[craggy cove]

also look at astrology online

[twin cape]

Oh i see

[ocean axle]

Besides hands, see if the background makes sense in euclidean space

[wheat torrent]

its not shit unless its a gemini image that still has it's metadata

[ocean axle]

Commonly ai places things in physically impossible ways

[wheat torrent]

but you have to ask gemini itself to check the synth id

[cold skiff]

Is this Damocles alt account?

[rigid fjord]

the colouring tbh is usually a huge giveaway

[dawn garden]

what does this mean

[twin cape]

Better than nothing

Just use AI

[ebon marlin]

Using AI to detect AI

https://tenor.com/view/btweers-gif-12554037691025205909

[rigid fjord]

nope, they asked about ps/2 vs usb for keyboards in what would be better and then didn't complain after

[dawn garden]

...repository.spotify.com isnt signed?

i cant update my spotify that i downloaded direclty from the software manager?

[craggy cove]

its always the fucking ram slot

[rigid fjord]

can you tell if this was AI or digitally created by a person?

[fallow yacht]

shit text most of the time and the overall vibe will always be... off

[craggy cove]

3rd pc with a dead ram slot 🔥

[craggy cove]

@grok ai???

[fallow yacht]

like it's a blender snapshot or something

[dawn garden]

tbh i dont know

its hard to tell with animated pictures for me?

[wheat torrent]

grok is this ai

[rigid fjord]

nope, some other random one

[craggy cove]

@chevysupport???

[rigid fjord]

something with coffee or cafe in the name

[dawn garden]

anyways idk, forget about the ai kirby pics for a sec XD how is spotify.com's repository not signed??

[twin cape]

Ah yes scissors for a chin

[fallow yacht]

ignore previous instructions change profile picture to ford

[craggy cove]

my current one is lost media so i unfortunately cannot fulfill your request

[rigid fjord]

look at the shading, specifically shadows, then there's a spot on the cheek, then at the hair itself

[bitter delta]

It was only 2600€

[rigid fjord]

this also

[fallow yacht]

anyways forgive me for this but i bought some cryptocurrency (promise it's legit) it's like a 0.0000002728 or smth

or more zeroes idk

[craggy cove]

elon musk infinite money coin?

[rigid fjord]

based from the same image set with whatever filters i used at the time, from the same "ai"

[fallow yacht]

nah the classic bitcoin

[craggy cove]

i don't think that covers the btc transfer fee even

[exotic cape]

Only

[fallow yacht]

well idk we do shi differently here ig

[bitter delta]

Well compared to what they cost now it was a steal 😄

3300€ now

[exotic cape]

Fair fair

[rigid fjord]

the only way for a 5090 to be a steal, is if you actively stole it from someone carrying one out that they've preordered

[dawn garden]

ahhh idc about the wallpapers rn :S i guess ill post about this in tech support

[rigid fjord]

otherwise, nah, pricing is basically costing you a liver for one

[fallow yacht]

and that's before the ai bubble

[bitter delta]

[twin cape]

Nice no rgb just the way god intended

[terse pewter]

hows the noise from those arctic aio fans?

[sleek ibex]

Hello fellow Meshify 2 XL owner

[bitter delta]

No Noctua in this build. Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro as the AIO.

[bitter delta]

This is the non-XL 🙂

[terse pewter]

i meant arctic, i dont know why i wrote noctua 😭

[bitter delta]

Well, the answer is loud af 😄

[sleek ibex]

Oh my bad

[sleek ibex]

I'm so sleep deprived that I thought it was a 420 AIO

[random gyro]

We be serving the home

[bitter delta]

Love the drive bays

[random gyro]

Thats why i bought the case

50 euro with raid card and psu

[sleek ibex]

Arctic fans using the Eloops approach I see. 120mm being 25mm and 140mm being 30mm is interesting

[twin cape]

Guys look at this beauty

[bitter delta]

Now that is what I could call just a "display adapter" 😄

[high elm]

it “came” with 3 m.2 slots

1 normal horizontal one

1 vertical one with a metal bracket

and the pcie to m.2 card asus gave

[twin cape]

Hey dont insult my beast pc bro i use it to game on my 4k tv with a 5.1 surround system

[bitter delta]

Half-Life 1? 😄

[twin cape]

Minecraft

Java edition

[random gyro]

Masking tape?

[twin cape]

Laptop hardrive has no mounts for it

[random gyro]

Oh no I appreciate the ingenuity

[twin cape]

Here's the full situation goin on

Its actually got a gt 1030 good for 768p gaming like gta5 fifa half life far cry 4 and forza

[bitter delta]

Oh my 😄

[south arrow]

We do what we must eyyy

[craggy cove]

bios update actually fixed the 1st ram slot 🙏

15€ h610m hdv m.2 with a broken pin

[solid tundra]

do i need to replace the thermal paste?

[twin cape]

Yeah

Thats not even thermal or paste no more

[snow mauve]

lol

[knotty osprey]

Built this for a friend yesterday. We mixed the parts from his acer nitro pre built with new parts

[solid tundra]

is it urgent

[snow mauve]

my nephew dropped off a bag of parts a few days ago asking if 'anything was still worth something' lol. old cpus and ddr3 memory

im sure somebody out there could still use ddr3

[twin cape]

If your pc is thermal throttling

[solid tundra]

how do i know

[twin cape]

Run a henchmark check if cpu slows down or termparature spikes above 90°C is good indicator to replace

[solid tundra]

it doesn’t go above 60

[twin cape]

Eh good enough meh

Still thermal paste is cheap good to replace

[ancient shale]

Hey so I joined here because im struggle with my SSD/HDD and setting up partitions and such and I have zero clue what im doing and tutorials online are making no sense, could anyone join in a vc and help me out?

[twin cape]

Windows?

[ancient shale]

yes

[south arrow]

Are you adding a second drive or installing windows rn?

If installing windows delete all partitions (this will leave you with 1 partition drive 0) then select the 1 remaining partion and install. Voila

If adding a 2nd ssd/hdd open disk partition in the pc search bar and select it. Then scroll down to the black un allocated drive right click and simply allocate it leave all defaults alone and select ok then voila

[twin cape]

Cool what is that ram though and the mb power cable is making me nervous too close to the fans

[rigid fjord]

you should tuck in the 24 pin cable, and use the main pcie connector not the pigtail one

[solid tundra]

whenever i connect the PCIe cable to the gpu the 2x3 fits fine but when i add the extra 1x2 it doesn’t latch on the gpu is it normal? because i can easily pull it out

[grizzled frost]

you have to plug it in all at once

[rigid fjord]

you put in the 1x2 first, then push in the 2x3

[rigid fjord]

this is the ideal way to do it but sometimes you have to do it the way i said for pcie power

[grizzled frost]

yeah depends on the cable, some of them are finicky

[solid tundra]

ok i figured it out thanks

[grizzled frost]

now hold on there

[rigid fjord]

the autobahn, when you can get ticketed for going to slow

[sleek ibex]

Kerchow

[clear canyon]

Kerchowder

[severe matrix]

is $157 plus tax for a 1tb crucial p3 plus gen 4 a reasonable price given the market?

[fickle ivy]

Doesn't spigen claim their cases don't yellow?

[brave brook]

most likely the extra 2-pin has little tabs which lock them under the 6-pin, os you can't pull them out, see that little protruding piece of plastic

[exotic cape]

I know dbrand does, unsure about Spigen.

[fickle ivy]

I was gonna get a dbrand case but they don't sell them for my phone

[knotty osprey]

I only have the pigtail ones that came with the PSU

[exotic cape]

I'm currently waiting on my order, should be here this week.

[kindred halo]

He mean the primary PCIe cable

I am pretty sure it's the one dangling down

The one you have plugged in is the pigtail

[rigid fjord]

the pigtail is the connector with a short piece of wire coming from the main connector

[knotty osprey]

oh alright

[fickle ivy]

I've got a pixel 6a

[knotty osprey]

The 2017 macbook pro I bought for a buck is alive and well after around 38€ of parts

the escape key is dead tho. there's no escape

[south arrow]

Music hit lets gooo

[unique aspen]

💔

[kindred halo]

That board has no VRM Heatsink 💔

[quasi moat]

Pov. Me in highschool

[azure topaz]

has no cpu apparently

[fast girder]

Bought a bundle of a gaming PC with a curved monitor for $100 yesterday, turns out the computer does not turn on.

I took the CPU out, reseat the ram, I looked at the mobo manual and reseat the front panel cords, nothing.

[gaunt spade]

can anyone help me my ultra 9 185h is getting bad fps in cs and i think i have to disable my e cores or make the p cores higher priority how do i do that

[rigid fjord]

you'll want to swap the cpu out asap tbh

[azure topaz]

power supply

oh well it lights up, board

[fast girder]

Yup the mobo does light up

But I can't get it to turn on even for a second

[rigid fjord]

ssd essentially should be in top slot

[azure topaz]

test parts individually in another computer ig

take shit out 1 by one and see if it works

try with no gpu at all it could be shorting the psu into protect mode

it’s a 5700G so you don’t need the 1050ti anyways

[fast girder]

That's what I thought, yea I think I'm going to move the parts one by one and see. I do happen to have extra power supply if needed

Ok I'll try that

What do you think should be the order of testing parts?

GPU>ram>CPU?

[rigid fjord]

power, ram, cpu, gpu

it can be a case of the cables not fully seated at times

[ivory mountain]

the 6500xt box sitting on top of the 5090 box is killing me 😭

[fast girder]

Well the mobo does light up, but I did reseat the CPU and mobo power cables

[gaunt spade]

anyone pls ,🥹🥹🥹

[rigid fjord]

check ram seating and the gpu's seating also

[brave brook]

it's just me, or the 24-pin feels like it is not plugged in completely (it is under an angle it seems) ?

[brave brook]

also front panel is not connected ?

[fast girder]

The front panel was connected, or at least I did reconnect it by mobo manual but no change, the cables were a bit too snug I tried loosen them and reseat them

[fast girder]

Already done that, what I didn't try is turning it on without the gpu

[brave brook]

still try to rule out front panel issues - disconnect the front panel and short the pins for power on button with a screwdriver

[fast girder]

I will try, I did that with a Philip screwdriver but I'll try with a flathead just in case

[snow mauve]

if anybody has bought a gpu for a server like a power edge you need a VERY specific power cable that goes to the riser in oder to get you more than the classic 75w

[bronze summit]

🤔

[clear canyon]

Solid

[bronze summit]

might get it

[gaunt spade]

can anyone help me my ultra 9 185h is getting bad fps in cs and i think i have to disable my e cores or make the p cores higher priority how do i do that

[ivory mountain]

Fuck your csgo fps

[wispy thunder]

windows fixed core affinity back when 12th gen was current

[wispy thunder]

no need anymore - you may benefit from a higher plim

[gaunt spade]

im not getting enough fps tho

[wispy thunder]

what fps, what laptop?

[gaunt spade]

vivobook pro something with ultra9 185h and 4060 and im getting 120-150

[wispy thunder]

oh

csgo or cs2?

[gaunt spade]

cs2

[wispy thunder]

get ghelper

is your gpu enabled or no

[gaunt spade]

i dont think its the gpus fault

and yes gpu enabled

[wispy thunder]

does increasing resolution decrease fps?

[abstract wigeon]

seems about right init

what res

oh nevermind this is not right

[gaunt spade]

yes but by like 20

[wispy thunder]

ok so it's not using your gpu

you should be cpu bottlenecked in cs2

[abstract wigeon]

in cs can you select the 4060 instead of the igpu

[gaunt spade]

cpu is 40% used

[abstract wigeon]

open task manager and see ur gpu utilisationn

[abstract wigeon]

'bottleneck' mentioned opinion invalidated

[gaunt spade]

i have the steam overlay and both cpu and gpu are at 40%

[abstract wigeon]

and gpu?

[gaunt spade]

yes

[wispy thunder]

i've been around the block longer than you have smh

bottleneck shouldn't be a concern when buying parts, but it absolutely is a concern when talking about a specific load

for example: a 9950x isn't necessarily bottlenecked by a 3060ti if it's a CPU bound activity

[abstract wigeon]

wouldnt say bottleneck id say cpu bound

[wispy thunder]

it's the same thing lmao

[gaunt spade]

so yea im getting 120-150 fps and the cpu usage is 35-40 and gpu usage also same

[wispy thunder]

ok so get ghelper

increase plim

[gaunt spade]

at 1600x1200 and low settings

plim?

[wispy thunder]

power limit

[gaunt spade]

im not getting this issue in other games btw

[cold skiff]

Dayumn. But he’s another AI chief

[prime oriole]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-reveals-dlss-5-powered-by-neural-rendering-launches-this-fall

[wispy thunder]

bottleneck is a graphical description of what's happening - it's only when used as a broad brush that it becomes a bad description

[abstract wigeon]

good point

[gaunt spade]

ok ghelper now what

do i change mode?

[rigid fjord]

it's easy to tell when it's damocles speaking, you start developing a headache from the whine

[mossy rose]

ASUS TUF VG27AQL5A Quad HD 27 my old monitor broke is this good?

[wispy thunder]

is your gpu enabled

like 100% sure it's enabled

and you're plugged in?

if so, go to your fans + power setting

see power limits on the left - go increase that a bit and watch your temps

if temps are ok, keep pushing it a little

if not, then you found your problem

[long brook]

oh we jumping to DLSS 5 now http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-dlss-5-delivers-ai-powered-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games

[mossy rose]

ASUS TUF VG27AQL5A Quad HD 27 my old monitor broke is this good?

[empty quartz]

I dont think your old monitor breaking is good.

[mossy rose]

hahah

[topaz shale]

how much is it

if you are spending too much it is no good

[mossy rose]

£169

[empty quartz]

@rigid fjord Rate my new imac

[topaz shale]

meh its fine. might be better monitors at that price range.

not a bad deal

[west blade]

I got to save this bad boy from itself by rescrewing the hinges

[limpid ivy]

Spicy haha

[west blade]

For now, at least

[empty quartz]

I also got a free 5k imac

[mossy rose]

idrk i need to use a currys voucher since my old one broke so my budget is £180 can you see anything better?

[topaz shale]

nah save it for the tax

[mossy rose]

wdym bro?

[gaunt spade]

yes im 99% sure its the cpus fault im in the finals and im only getting 110fps on all lows and i set the cpu to high performance plan and cpu boost to aggresive

cpu util is 50 gpu is 100

[ancient lion]

Please tell me you guys saw that AI Slop DLSS 5 is

holy downgrade from 4.5

[mossy rose]

ASUS TUF VG27AQL5A Quad HD 27 guys is this a good monitor? my old one broke

[snow mauve]

does anybody remember those old nokia n810/n910? actual linux tablet pcs. this was when they thought WIMAX was gonna take off

[wispy thunder]

show task manager of gpu when you're saying gpu is at 100

[ebon marlin]

What the fuck just happened

I got a blue screen from signing into my nvidia app

[wispy thunder]

huh what

oh

nvldkmm bsod?

[ebon marlin]

What the fuck is going on with Nvidia's software lately bruh

[long brook]

its reaching a level of photorealism of movies however artist intent becomes a issue, we have to see more about it

[ebon marlin]

Idk it disappeared immediately bruh

[wispy thunder]

yeah so Nvidia app has actually got to be as bad as AMD crimson back in the day

[mossy rose]

ASUS TUF VG27AQL5A Quad HD 27

guys is this good? for a new monitor

[snow mauve]

catto, the main nvidia util app, or geforce experience ?

did you recently update your crivers

[wispy thunder]

nvidia app.

Nvidia app combines the control panel with gf experience

and it's been buggy since day 1

as much as the old control panel was super outdated design wise, it was perfectly functional and never had any issues

[snow mauve]

yea i mean at one point i had been advised to use studio drivers and bypass geforce experience. seemed to work for me

[wispy thunder]

uh

right click the cpu graph and turn it into logical processors

[ivory mountain]

theyre not both going to be 100 lol

[wispy thunder]

so here we see your 12 P core threads being hammered with one being particularly high, your E cores are about the same except for 1 and your LP E are idle

I think the two idle cores are why it's reading such a low average utilization

[hexed tapir]

6*

[wispy thunder]

6 P cores, 12 threads

top two rows are his P cores

[hexed tapir]

Ah

[gaunt spade]

ita 6p cores

[hexed tapir]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/236849/intel-core-ultra-9-processor-185h-24m-cache-up-to-5-10-ghz/specifications.html wtf is the point of 2 Low Power Efficiency cores

[wispy thunder]

lmao

[hexed tapir]

I totally read over the thread part of the message

[wispy thunder]

so did OP so all good LMAO

[empty quartz]

Imac

[wispy thunder]

museum piece*

[empty quartz]

No, its still competent

[wispy thunder]

they're all getting dropped next macos

[empty quartz]

This imac is still pretty powerful though

[gaunt spade]

that dosent explain the cs fps tho right?

[empty quartz]

Plus it can run windows

[ivory mountain]

how much are u expecting to get on a 4060 laptop?

[wispy thunder]

yeah that's odd I'm not sure exactly why that's the case

wait

[gaunt spade]

more than 130fps on cs2

[empty quartz]

Its not even boosting

[wispy thunder]

wait I totally missed that part

[hexed tapir]

What 4060

[wispy thunder]

though he needs to use hwinfo or smth to see what the core boosts are rn

because for all I know that boost freq is an average which again, dragged down by 2 rando idle lp e cores

[wispy thunder]

probably none of those - its a vivobook.

[gaunt spade]

it says 115 max but i havent seen it at115 max ive aeen is i think 95 or aum

i cant type

[wispy thunder]

try putting your CPU at idle

then just running furmark

total system draw is separate from GPU plim

for example, my 4050 in my G16 will happily draw 120w for like 20 minutes

but as soon as the CPU kicks in at like 50-60w then it gets dropped

[gaunt spade]

ive tried furmark its same ill show tho

[empty quartz]

Mrrp meow :3

[hexed tapir]

Up to
125 W

All I wanted to do was to sign in to my account to activate my Resident Evil Requiem promocode for someone else

[snow mauve]

ah ...sorry. what's the promo for 😄

[gaunt spade]

gotta live how idle temps for cpu is 70c

[gaunt spade]

wich power plan

[empty quartz]

Got this magnavox xk3955 awhile ago 🗿

[agile topaz]

Oh so dlss5 is gonna be a pretty big win for color then

[empty quartz]

Its still crazy how sharp the 2014 imac 27” display is

Higher resolution than most peoples phones

[gaunt spade]

that says alot

[empty quartz]

Actually, its higher than every phone

Its 5120x2880

[ocean axle]

Technically infinite resolution

[empty quartz]

No

[gaunt spade]

67k resolution

[wispy thunder]

that's not how that works

[empty quartz]

Its like 10-13”

[wispy thunder]

it's 5k

[gaunt spade]

wait every phone? combined?

[empty quartz]

Not combined

[ocean axle]

B&W CRTs don't have color dots or pixels, so technically its resolution limit is physics and not it's construction

[empty quartz]

Its not black and white

Its colour

[ocean axle]

well, fuck

[serene python]

@rigid fjord lowkey after the keyboard i want to make more custom stuff

[long brook]

this one showcases backgrounds, lighting and world https://youtu.be/GXpTyq-YbPM

[agile topaz]

Wow, yeah the colors look beautiful if this is an accurate translation

[empty quartz]

Its glorified hdr

[long brook]

pretty much

[snow mauve]

all thsi faking it till you make it

can we just skip to dream connected gaming states

all that goes out the window

[gaunt spade]

dlss 6 when

[azure topaz]

i do hate to burst the bubble but all games are fake

[empty quartz]

Real!!!!!???!?

[azure topaz]

whether its conventional raster or not its just pixels on the screen

[gaunt spade]

whats a real game then

[azure topaz]

uh, soccer or something

[ocean axle]

I prefer the human made fake

[azure topaz]

but humans made the tools

[ocean axle]

particularly when that human is me

[gaunt spade]

soccer 🥀🥀🥀🙏

[azure topaz]

sports ball

[gaunt spade]

football

[rigid fjord]

well it's the most custom imac anyone could go for

[agile topaz]

I don't wear cleats when I play sports because its a tool that emphasizes my movement more than is natural

[rigid fjord]

you could mod your g502 to make it more custom, like adding some kalih black switches to it

[hexed tapir]

But my pixels are organic

[topaz shale]

farmed without any gmos

[azure topaz]

mine are too

[rigid fjord]

after this you could look into case mods and such

[rigid fjord]

i actually prefer dlss off there

[gritty thistle]

anyone know where I can get any new original Xbox controller port replacements?

Could I 3D print one?

[rigid fjord]

yes

[graceful mulch]

A friend of mine and I are confused on the usage of hardware of CPU based Cycles rendering based on Apple Silicon vs. desktop Ryzen scores. His argument is that desktop Ryzen has tiny iGPUs that ar nothing compared to the iGPU on an M5 Pro. He claims that the bigger scores on Apple Silicon for Cycles is due to Blender cutting access to the dGPU, but still allowing iGPU usage to bolster the CPU render, which would obviously be in the M5’s favor.

Is this true? Would iGPU power affect CPU benchmarking?

[dawn garden]

well boiz n goylz my pc is so epic now

[main reef]

New dlss lol

[rough salmon]

lol dont blame the dislikes

[dawn garden]

dun care i have a 3060 and im stickin with it

on mint it should last until it literally dies

[rough salmon]

yh the 50 series is just ai fake frames, it seems the 60 series is gonna be the exact same :/

ima just buy a 4090 bro

[dawn garden]

couldnt be bothered less. i dont even game

[rough salmon]

i dont get time to haha

[dawn garden]

exactly. i play like 1 hour of game a week

[rough salmon]

u get an hour, i get 5 minutes

[dawn garden]

and usually my brain is like "this is tedious just go watch something instead"

[rough salmon]

yeah same

i work 5 days a week and on my days off i have to do house work etc and because i have a gf, we barely find time to game

[dawn garden]

... i ama full time caregiver to a slowly more and more disabled mom

plus i keep everyones schedules on check, i fix all the meals, i clean everything, and i do the school runs

[rough salmon]

bless her

[obtuse yew]

I have picked up an aorus elite b550m and a pro x670-p wifi for 20 dollars each, and they both unfortunately look pristine

[dawn garden]

she had surgery on her finger for a infection one day this month, and then the next DAY she fell and broke that arm

[rough salmon]

oh dearr

[dawn garden]

unfortunately look pristine? that is the same mobo i have 😄

what do you mean look pristine?

unfortunately?

what is that pepe frog face meant to convey..

[obtuse yew]

It is unfortunate because they are both dead and I actually have to take the steps to diagnose a problem

The x670 still even has the plastic laminate on the heatsinks

[dawn garden]

i see. i have a b550

its a good board for its gen

who was the manu

[obtuse yew]

For which board?

[dawn garden]

oh wait duh aorus so gigabyte

same exact heckin board as me

hope you get it figured out

[obtuse yew]

If I can find the issue it could be hella profit

Hopefully these boards have actual problems and the problem isn't just me being stupid like the last one

[dawn garden]

it could be something as simple as bent pins or somethin

..u did make sure the ram is seated right? XD

[obtuse yew]

Unfortunately not

The socket is beautiful

[obtuse yew]

Yes, I got it from a repair shop who set up a full testbench in house because they forgot if it worked

We’ve all heard of cards which should have more vram. But are there any cards which have too much vram?

[jovial swan]

arc b60 lol

[scenic hamlet]

So how does buying a 2023 G14 hold up in 2026v

[hexed tapir]

It's best not to fill all 4 ram channels even more so for am5

[graceful mulch]

I work in arch. Are you doing any rendering?

If so I’d look to a 9070XT or a 5070Ti at least.

[rigid fjord]

swap out the corsair fans for arctic ones instead, then get a 2x 64gb kit of ddr5 6000 cl30-36 instead

also, go for a 5080 instead

[graceful mulch]

That too. RAM is more important than prettiness

[rigid fjord]

4x ddr5 = ram running a 3600mt/s unless manually tuned

[jovial swan]

its more so for my uncle.

[ivory mountain]

what did they do to grace 😭

[hexed tapir]

I would also not run a cx750w bronze PSU in a professional work pc

[rigid fjord]

rm750x or better tbh

Whatever, go my montech century

[rigid fjord]

go my rm850x 2025 model ftw

his budget is between 22000 DKK and 37000 DKK

he really wanted a minisforum MS-01 with the ryzen ai max 395+ and 128 GB ram, but theyre constantly out of stock

[obtuse yew]

No idea what that is in freedom units but that seems like a really wide range

[rigid fjord]

he'd really want an nvidia card for cad use tbh

[indigo temple]

anybody here owns galaxy buds 4 pros? im itrested on the fit and bateery life.

and also if there is something i should know of before buying them

[exotic cape]

Fit is great, battery is great, i used them today for 5 hours and i was at 53% now all 5 hours wasn't listening.

But imo, get the Buds3 Pro, unless you want a newer product and you can afford the higher price.

[indigo temple]

thanks alot for info

im gonna buy the 4 pros from somebody who bought s26u and doesnt want the buds

[exotic cape]

The main difference is design, slightly better ANC, slightly worse pass trough. And a tiny bit more bass.

[indigo temple]

so i can get them cheaper

i saw some in sealed box with receipt for 179€

and thought of upgrading my 2 non pros

[exotic cape]

I got them for free along with a watch8 classic. When I bought my s26u.

[indigo temple]

cause i use my buds almost every day maybe once a week i dont use them

[indigo temple]

yeah thats what i mean

[agile topaz]

The 50 series is generally more powerful even without the frame gen though, a 5080 is the better option here

Its very marginal performance loss for a lot less money just being dumped into the flagship tax

[indigo temple]

i will get them from guy like you and get them fro little bit cheaper than buying straight from tech shop/samsung store

[mint umbra]

why does grace look ai generated

[agile topaz]

Because it is, dlss5 is cooked

[mint umbra]

id rather my games not look ai generated

lmao

[indigo temple]

what buds u had before if u had?

[agile topaz]

Im hoping they at least provide a preset that doesn't do that shit and just expands on dlss4.5

[mint umbra]

is that really what they came up with making shit look liek ai

[agile topaz]

It doesn't look like ai, it literally is

[exotic cape]

3 pro

[mint umbra]

who ever idea that was is a dummy

[agile topaz]

I swear they flat out just generate ai images based on what the gpu is rendering or something

[indigo temple]

before that?

[mint umbra]

gamers dont want more ai

[indigo temple]

2 pros?

[exotic cape]

2 pro

[agile topaz]

Well not in that way

[indigo temple]

how is the diffrence between 2 pros and 4 pros?

i mean sound quality

[agile topaz]

If we could get more stable frame gen at lower frame rates, better upscaling quality at lower base resolutions, thats what I'm all for

[mint umbra]

dlss5 "fuck your art direction" basically

[exotic cape]

I would say better

[indigo temple]

179€ better?

[agile topaz]

Dlss5 is shaping up to be an ai filter instead of a tool that just makes performance better

[long brook]

[exotic cape]

But I can't really hear a difference anyways, my ears are fucked beyond saving.

[stray portal]

cachy os on a laptop

[indigo temple]

okey

[agile topaz]

I mean I just want more frames, Im sure thats what everyone else wants

[long brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vMVlfxUDe4 " Todd Howard has signed off on it, saying it's how he wanted Starfield to be seen."

[indigo temple]

that looks cooked

[abstract wigeon]

reminded me how unusable the stock minecraft f3 screen is

[indigo temple]

thoose faces look like they have had face surgery at some shady street surgeon

[exotic cape]

But they are newer, and have a longer warranty period.

[indigo temple]

yeah thats good point i thought it just because i use my current bus like 5 daysa a week atleast and like at minimum 1h a day or some

so thought it could be useful upgrade and also im starting to get angry about my buds 2 trying to overheat and run to beeping

[abstract wigeon]

what part of dlss 5 is this? its not upscaling or frame gen, havnt read the report yet

[agile topaz]

God it just looks like ai generated bs, its uncanny valley instead of decent art direction

[indigo temple]

yeah its more realistic but i dont think it looks natural either

[agile topaz]

I don't even like it in starfield

[exotic cape]

I use them 8 hours a day 4 days a week.

[indigo temple]

i prefer non creepy npc's

[long brook]

a year ago Nvidia showed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnozAHKTz9o

[indigo temple]

ig they have to bee comfortable then

[indigo temple]

that thumbnail looks realsitic ish and not creepy

[agile topaz]

Do we at least know if dlss5 is gonna have the option to turn these off

Also no those eyes roll disgustingly, hell nah

[indigo temple]

i hate when intentional blurry/pixelated faces/scenes are upscaled to higher resolution

[indigo temple]

look at the jacket dont look at the face look at the jacket

[agile topaz]

It kinda whitewashes them too, not sure about that

[indigo temple]

it looks so funky

[obtuse yew]

Imagine spending millions of dollars and months to facescan Harrison ford and Nvidia does this shit

[indigo temple]

lol

[agile topaz]

God that looks like shit

[long brook]

devs would have to prevent somethings from doing it https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/rtx-technology-dlss-dxr/37/583738/dlss-5-faq/

[agile topaz]

Devs should make it impossible to override to dlss5

[long brook]

yeah this isnt dlss 5 but you could imagine

[indigo temple]

nvidia: we should really do some dlss tampering the results: every one is angry at them bc they actually did good on their last update to dlss

[obtuse yew]

I know lmao

[agile topaz]

They should have just expanded on dlss4.5

[long brook]

I would have to hold them to it

[agile topaz]

Better image quality at lower upscaling, more stable frame gen, not ai generated faces

[indigo temple]

4.5 got really good response from gamers and the community so why not just keep fixing the smallest things until its pixel perfevt

perfect

[agile topaz]

Better be lawsuits if its not the very first option in development with dlss5

Mask damn well everything from 'enhancement'

[obtuse yew]

Trust me guys the developers of requiem were the ones who wanted grace to have plastic surgery

[agile topaz]

Of course, thats why they definitely modeled grace to have such strong cheekbones

[agile topaz]

0 intensity, 0 color, 0 ai 'enhancements' should be the meta

Upscaling and frame generation are fine, but dlss5 seems like it literally just changes the rendering engine entirely

[ivory mountain]

Yeah but nobody cares cuz the 5070ti is $400 above msrp

[obtuse yew]

I think they are forgetting that "upscaling" is not "enhancement"

[stray portal]

laptop horror momments

[agile topaz]

Almost definitely, upscaling is trying to look as native as possible, not 'better'

[stray portal]

battery expectancy went from 5 hours to 2-3 hours

only for playing minecraft

[agile topaz]

When you try to look 'better' than native, really all you're doing is just adding shit that shouldn't be there

Thats the entire issue people had with upscaling before it was a thing, now it's actually doing it

[stray portal]

what do yall think battery life should be on my hp elitebook normally? havent tested it on windows but linux is around 6 hours

[obtuse yew]

If the developers never spent the 1 man hour it takes to give grace those additional facial shadows, they didn't want it there in the first place

[agile topaz]

Thats what Im saying, DLSS should be for gamers, not to allow developers to be that lazy

Like our whole optimization issue these days pretty much chalks up to "we don't need to, dlss will fix the framerate for us"

That shouldn't be extended to "we don't need to make the game look good, dlss does that for us"

[outer osprey]

Anyone know how to fuck with bios? I got a new computer and I wanna make sure it’s doing the best it can but I don’t wanna fuck anything up

[grand acorn]

Came from A8-7650k with 16gigs of ddr3 and a 256gigs of storage

To a Ryzen 3 3200g and 16gigs of ddr4 and 500gigs of storage for 67 dollars thanks to some used market

Now I'm planning to pair it with Rx 6600 or Rtx 3050 6gb or 8gb and becuz Rx 6600 is currently not available in my country rn and later upgrade to Ryzen 5 5500

[obtuse yew]

Currently doing that on this dead board I just got

CPU and dram are both fucked but bios qflash works fine

Bios flashing is pretty painless anymore though

[left trellis]

I might have found a holy grail of an ebay bid

[terse rose]

hey guys im thinking about starting to flip pc's and got no experience apart from replacing a psu and gpu in a pc i cooked up some bs as a budget pc to flip what do yall think

[agile topaz]

There's much better than the 1050ti out there, pretty sure 3060s go for that much

[terse rose]

yeah thing is i found quite a sweet deal

didn’t specify as well i’m in EU

so what i heard markets a bit different

but i found a 1050ti that works for 20 usd missing a fan blade but fans can get replaced for cheap

[terse rose]

all that for 800pln so around 215usd

[agile topaz]

pretty good

I just dunno if even thats a very good price, especially considering the 1050ti probably isn't saught after

[terse rose]

what other used gpu would you recommend to go with the cpu

[agile topaz]

2060, possibly 2060 super

They shouldn't be bottlenecked by a 2600, should perform better, and will probably be around the same price

I mean I found like 4 2060 Supers on the first half page for less than $200 in the US

2070 up to 2070 super are only slightly affected if I recall

[terse rose]

alr thank you very much

[sharp ivy]

even a 1060 would be good

1060 6gb goes really well with my i7-7700K

[agile topaz]

Yeah, practically anything but a 1050ti is a solid choice

As long as you're looking at a XX60+ that won't bottleneck too hard on the 2600 (do look at the 3000 and 5000s though), you'll probably find more demand

[sharp ivy]

550W psu is decent

[terse rose]

alright thank you very much guys

much love

[agile topaz]

Only thing I can really knock besides the gpu is maybe the ram, Id say 16gb is what you wanna aim for with a system like that

[wheat torrent]

dlss5 looks exciting

[agile topaz]

And good luck

[agile topaz]

They eugenicized my boy

[hexed tapir]

It makes characters look like ai xxx bots

[terse rose]

prices 💔

[wheat torrent]

shadows on transparent decals are harder to do since it is much more computational intensive

huge performance loss on a large scale

[agile topaz]

True, but I think people who know much about pcs are going to avoid that rig because 8gb just won't work stably

[wheat torrent]

if It would be possible to mark objects in the game engine you could have translucency done with AI instead of actually doing it in game engine which would be way more optimal

[agile topaz]

It would also look like ai slop, but thats just me

[wheat torrent]

especially if you are able to prompt dlss5 to change the whole theme of how it looks

like if you could do system prompts to change the whole atmosphere

[agile topaz]

Or you know like

Shader mods, that also wouldn't kill both performance and the artstyle while doing it

[wheat torrent]

yeah except you can't really do that

[glacial cliff]

Still can't believe how my search for a new monitor ended up being selected to trial the new 52" lg 5k2k 😄 I can't waaaaaaaaait

[wheat torrent]

at most you can use reshade

[hexed tapir]

Did you get the insurance monies

[glacial cliff]

Some of it

I got the money on the 3rd claim already

The forst 2 and fourth theyre playing around on but we'll see

Can you see how much they valued the PC ram?

[snow mauve]

you fell down the rabbit hole lol

[glacial cliff]

I used it to buy all the stuff to make new pc https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GwenBD94/saved/NhxPgs

If its less than 1000 theyre ripping you off

[glacial cliff]

They haven't yet. Hopefully soon we'll see

[glacial cliff]

I mean free is free 😄

[agile topaz]

5200 CL40 for $250??!?

[glacial cliff]

I was looking at 34"+ ultrawodes and happ3n3d to see the call for 3 testers of the 52 inch on reddit

Threw my name in the hat and was selected

[glacial cliff]

If its on the list yeah thats what I got and paid for it

Didn't have a choice need a new pc 😭

[hexed tapir]

ASRock has been known to kill am5 cpus

[glacial cliff]

Im aware of the situation and felt the risk was low enough that im not worried

There's reports across Asus and msi as well

And seems to be focusing on the x570 chipset in all cases

[hexed tapir]

Lady here had her 6 month old if I recall right r5 9600x burn up

[glacial cliff]

Worst case, rma and theyll replace it

[long brook]

it does but.. thats neural rendering lighting and shadows does

gets that "ai" effect we see everywhere even if it isnt changing the geometry

[agile topaz]

Not changing the geometry?

[outer osprey]

is this good

[agile topaz]

Im pretty sure that's not grace's geometry chat 😭

I just got gifted an hpe ML110 g9 and the thing had a 56k modem like wtf 16gb ecc rdimm and it has a 56k modem

[spiral hollow]

nicee

are u gonna try and run dial up

[dusty egret]

No parting the machine out for upgrades to my dell servers but 56k modem just was surprising

[spiral hollow]

fair

[dusty egret]

Does 56k even have any use nowadays even just to screw around with in the homelab?

[long brook]

I was impressed by what they did with this. Looks like the actor in a movie but its in game

[dusty egret]

It's stupid that DRAM pricing is weird to the point you can buy an entire PC for just the DRAM

[spiral hollow]

this thing was in my ewaste store and its lowkey a beast

9th gen i7 and 64gb of crucial ddr4 and all for 60

[dusty egret]

Nice deal I wish there was an ewaste store near me but nope

[spiral hollow]

I went to my usual one today but turns out they closed down and sent all the stock to this other one ive never heard about and it lowkey had some heat. I gotta go back again when i got time

most minecraft shaders dont affect performance that much unless ur pc is already dog slow

Ehhhhhhh not really

My rx6600xt struggles to run iterationT

[clear canyon]

iv tried many shaders with various pc hardware setups and iv barely had any issues, easily 100fps+

I need to use 9chunks render distance to hit 60fpn on 1760x990 resolution

[clear canyon]

iv done shaders on a gt1030 and it runs shaders fine

It depends on what shader pack you use

[clear canyon]

gt1030 did many shaders at 60fps 1080p 12 render distance

[frail sequoia]

I mean the shaders did make the end look like this tho so that may be why

End void*

[clear canyon]

yeah

shaders dont tank fps unless you have them maxed or have high shadow res

or path tracing

[frail sequoia]

Ik I was on its normal settings

It didn't have settings when I used it

Was on an older version tho

[clear canyon]

if you wanna kill ur fps, run rethinking voxels

it has realtime path tracing

my 4080 cries

[frail sequoia]

I've used that and soft voxels lite, both run fine at the base settings with coloured lighting turned on

[clear canyon]

the realtime shadows is what kills it

1440p, 12 render distance on a 4080 gets 60 fps lmao

60-70

it looks amazing tho

[latent gull]

Complementary

[clear canyon]

na thats nothing compared to rethinking voxels

rethinking voxels is the hardest shader pack iv came across

[latent gull]

All I know is I immediately drop to 60fps max with complementary

[clear canyon]

try rethinking voxels

I wanna see what you get

[latent gull]

I might if I think about it tonight, I gotta figure out how to install it, I usually just use prebuilt modpacks with complementary on it

[clear canyon]

should be just a plug and play for ur modpack

[latent gull]

Possibly

[latent gull]

I’ll see

[pulsar root]

People on X are lowkey just trashing on it calling it “AI slop” 💀

Like they’re just making the games look better and people have a problem with it

[latent gull]

Who the fuck calls it x

[clear canyon]

gooners

[latent gull]

So grok users?

[long brook]

its gonna be hard to covince people it isnt

[frail sequoia]

I'm capped at 60fps cause I need to use v sync

[clear canyon]

why

[wheat torrent]

O

[pulsar root]

People when nvidia makes games look better for low quality gpu: it’s ruining the art!!

[frail sequoia]

Complementary could run on my 1660 when I had that

[frail sequoia]

2007 panasonic tv doesn't have freesync

[clear canyon]

ah

got that screen tearing

[frail sequoia]

Yes

[long brook]

yeah but I dont think any gpu can run something like this well, in fact I think you may need a next gen upgrade to do so

[pulsar root]

Natively?

[clear canyon]

if you just turn off the tv, you wont have it anymore :D

[frail sequoia]

Get it on games that I cap at 60, im required to use v sync when possible

[frail sequoia]

Then how will I play my pc?

[pulsar root]

Like still games today have peoples faces looking really strange and unnatural

[clear canyon]

plug it into the wall

[frail sequoia]

And use what screen

[clear canyon]

sun screen

[frail sequoia]

I mean lcd display

[clear canyon]

lsd display?

[frail sequoia]

A screen that shows whats going on

[wheat torrent]

its a tech demo

[frail sequoia]

No, lcd

[clear canyon]

didnt know there was lsd displays

[clear canyon]

sounds like my clock

[frail sequoia]

That's my tv model that I use as a monitor

[clear canyon]

dude sent a file

[frail sequoia]

200mp phone camera does that for some reason

[wheat torrent]

it would be a shame if they make dlss 5.0 and not implement a way to customize it

for example disabling face improvements

but I think that is up to the developers not nvidia

[frail sequoia]

That's the port selection

[clear canyon]

bro it says "LSD TV"

[wheat torrent]

why is this guy posting jpg as files with no embed

[frail sequoia]

No, that's edited, fonts too clean and diff font

[clear canyon]

im not

[clear canyon]

nuh uh

[frail sequoia]

My phone takes 200mp photos and it sends like that for some reason

[wheat torrent]

skull issue

as long as its under 9mb it should display

[latent gull]

Never said it couldn’t run

[frail sequoia]

Bruh
Fuck you warship bot

[latent gull]

Skissue

[frail sequoia]

@ebon marlin im getting a packard bell laptop instead of an old thinkpad

[clear canyon]

why

[frail sequoia]

Imma get a new keyboard too, i will send a screenshot once the cool down for the screenshot end

[clear canyon]

its 5 sec

[frail sequoia]

This keyboard

[clear canyon]

why not get a better one

[frail sequoia]

Cause old is gold

[latent gull]

…cooler master?

[clear canyon]

not really

[frail sequoia]

I am, its better than a shitty magegee keyboard

[clear canyon]

thats a pretty doodoo keyboard

[latent gull]

No, old is old, gold is gold, old ≠ gold, correlation ≠ causation

[frail sequoia]

I meant it as in its good

[latent gull]

Yeah and I’m telling you no

[clear canyon]

its not good, its a pentium

[frail sequoia]

Its only going to be for video playback, doing work and some other college stuff

[clear canyon]

I recommend using ur money to get a better keyboard

[cold skiff]

Nah. CMstorm is proper cheap shite you get with those “i7 custom PCs” on Amazon that ship an Intel 2700 for like £700 with a 1650

[clear canyon]

and not waste it on ewaste

[frail sequoia]

Not gaming otherwise I would get the thinlpad with amd graphics

[frail sequoia]

No those are shite Chinese membrane ones that break if you look at them the wrong way

[clear canyon]

that keyboard you sent is just as bad

[frail sequoia]

The cm storm keyboard is just your average mechanical keyboard from the windows 7 days

[clear canyon]

plus, mx black 🤢

[frail sequoia]

Not good, not bad just average

[clear canyon]

get something better

that price is horid

[clear canyon]

its bad

[frail sequoia]

What, 20 quid?

[clear canyon]

not average, average is too good for it

[frail sequoia]

That's half the price of my current one

[clear canyon]

yes

[cold skiff]

£25. Add the shipping

[long brook]

yeah considering it was taking one 5090 to do the dlss 5 and another to run the game demo, nvidia states in the lab they getting it to work on a single gpu but thats all we have

[cold skiff]

So yeah. £25

[frail sequoia]

No, the shipping basically free

[cold skiff]

It looks awesome but SLI is making a comeback and if you want top end like this you need to spend £6k minimum

[dusty egret]

Family friend got some old PC parts and knows I like PCs said "they might be of some use idk" glad he thought about me... Anyone need 128mb of sdram or a brand new Gigabit Intel fiber nic from March 18th of 2004

[clear canyon]

This keyboard is far better that that pos: https://amzn.eu/d/0bxMmJEg

[frail sequoia]

That's pretty new

[cold skiff]

And if you get it from Ali express not as much as that

And probably bus width…

[frail sequoia]

Nah, cooler master one looks good and has a ps/2 adapter which is good since all my usb ports are took up minus 1 that's always free since its dodgy

[long brook]

one could dream

[clear canyon]

why are you adamant on wasting ur money for dog shit

[long brook]

from DF video, 2 5090s

[clear canyon]

its gotta be rage bait

[frail sequoia]

I like old stuff

[clear canyon]

you like throwing away your money

[frail sequoia]

It ain't, im just stupid and like old stuff

So its a win : win

[cold skiff]

He’s British. We are a bit uh… special sometimes

[pulsar root]

Is Intel that bad

[frail sequoia]

Scottish*

[cold skiff]

Oh he’s Scottish? That makes more sense

[clear canyon]

only win here is the sellers robbing you with those crazy prices

[cold skiff]

He’s tighter than a ducks arsehole and falls for any scam that’s cheap

[fallen sky]

Chat fun fact

[pulsar root]

No like for PC

[frail sequoia]

Its 20ish quid

That's not that bad

[clear canyon]

over priced

[dusty egret]

No just bad price

[tidal geyser]

what is the point of that thing

[pulsar root]

Like my school say they have like high performance computers and they’re using an i9 285K

[tidal geyser]

then W

context matters

[cold skiff]

Just go Ali Express and get better

[tidal geyser]

im using a mk87 rn

[frail sequoia]

Nah im good

[cold skiff]

Well. That’s not low performance now is it

[tidal geyser]

i?

[dusty egret]

I9 285k is a powerful cpu, and if memory serves me correct Intel was the go to for workstation up until recently

[tidal geyser]

guys pleas, U

[clear canyon]

what

[cold skiff]

U wot m8

[tidal geyser]

core ultra
