7800xt 550 sgd
9070 is like 800

[cold skiff]

7800xt ftw then

[rigid fjord]

out of budget

[stark flicker]

Having dlss far outweigh having more vram it's not close

[cold skiff]

He said 550. And 600 available

[rigid fjord]

3080 then still

[rigid fjord]

budget is 400

[stark flicker]

What are sgd

[cold skiff]

Ohhh why was I thinking 600

[rigid fjord]

singaporean dollars

[cold skiff]

Special Great Dollars

[stark flicker]

Lol

[sinful cobalt]

the play is undoubtedly a 3080 lol

[rigid fjord]

yup

[wintry cliff]

I still need to save money for ram upgrade as well lol, wanna move to 32gb

[cold skiff]

It depends what you play really.

[rigid fjord]

lightroom calling the play still alongside the llm's

[wintry cliff]

Oh really?

[cold skiff]

DLSS isn’t even in contention when I select a GPU

Literally upscaling and frame gen isn’t part of my decision making

[rigid fjord]

not when it comes to LLM usage being added in

[cold skiff]

And if it takes you from 120fps ultra to 180fps ultra… it shouldn’t be part of anyone’s

[sinful cobalt]

it can take you from like 60 to 80 lol

[cold skiff]

Yeah you get the point though Setsuna. Most people go “need DLSS” now but forget their base performance at native probably doesn’t

[wintry cliff]

Cause from my experience running llm on my 6650xt i had problems with vram being limited instead lol

Cant run models bigger than 7b and context window is small

[cold skiff]

If ya playing 4k I mean, slightly better looking than fsr? Sure if that’s important to you then choose DLSS. Although most people don’t need upscaling they’re just chasing numbers

[stark flicker]

Yeah that's my experience over the years owning 3 gaming computers with different gpu and having friends owning gaming computer too

8 years ago or smth I had a 2060 supee, it lasted sooooooooo much more thanks to dlss it's insane

A friend had a 6800xt, the lack of dlss was super noticeable and made it way worse than my 3080ti (sure a 3080ti is already better than a 3080), but not just by the small 5-15% difference... Having dlss make up for way more than that in lots of cases

[wintry cliff]

Im running my llms on Vulkan rn

[sinful cobalt]

somewhat modern/demanding like CBP and above would really like DLSS quality from a 3080 at 1440p for like, a near 100 fps experience, not sure about the benchmarks with the 3080 there though.

[rigid fjord]

up to 8gb vram means running nothing more than 1.5B when it comes to LLM's and that's just basic training, over that you want 10-12gb vram or better

[sinful cobalt]

But it bridges the gap between normal 60 target to like 90 with better input latency

[stark flicker]

That's really the opinion of someone not having gamed in the last 8 years lol

People are pitch forking for 10% performance between gpu and dlss brings insane performance gain, and in some cases (like 4k) it's even better than native

Fg is a whole other story, and isn't available on the 3080, but it's still nice to have considering how shit optimization can be...

[tidal geyser]

can this shit even be any slower

[stark flicker]

I'm playing mh wilds right now in 4k... Without fg I would be at 40fps, with it I'm at 100

And I absolutely don't see any visual or lag performance hit

[sinful cobalt]

the math isnt mathing here

[stark flicker]

Yeah

It's a ball park, perf varies

I'm always fiddling with settings considering how shit the game looks lol

[sinful cobalt]

without fg you’re at 40… with fg you should be getting 70 with a base perf of 35… how are you getting 100 without mfg

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-exusiai-angel-confused-dizzy-gif-15630974669602071569

[wintry cliff]

Yeah so i thought originally that the 6800xt might be better considering rocm support is having massive jumps and 16gb vram yknow

[stark flicker]

I'm cpu limited not gpu limited so I guess that accounts for something also I spewed the number semi-randomly because I'm always fiddling with settings

Also depends on the location

But the point is the same

[rigid fjord]

you'd suffer some with blender and possibly on lightroom

[sinful cobalt]

fg literally takes more of a toll on the cpu as well

https://tenor.com/view/wazowski-mike-mike-sulivan-meme-monster-inc-gif-19634164

[stark flicker]

Yeah well maybe, but it still gives me more performance...

Without fg enabling or disabling dlss changes nothing so I assume I'm cpu limited

[sinful cobalt]

https://giphy.com/gifs/larp-king-ishowspeed-looks-at-riOXDXKi21xZ02Bg0M

[stark flicker]

What?

Why are you so doubtful, can't I be happy saying that without fg I literally couldn't play the game?

(40fps is unplayable for me)

[wintry cliff]

On blender definitely yeahh idk on lightroom tho

[rigid fjord]

adobe software favours nvidia cards

[wintry cliff]

I didnt know that

[haughty compass]

[gaunt spade]

let it rest

[gaunt spade]

like by alot

[rigid fjord]

i've seen longer

[haughty compass]

[sinful cobalt]

the school ddr2 system that has been up since the beginning of time:

[thin bloom]

i saw someone posted this gif in another server

https://tenor.com/view/mac-pc-apple-imac-mac-vs-pc-gif-25436602

[wintry cliff]

So in my shoes, youd still choose 3080 then?

[rigid fjord]

in your shoes, yes

what i highlighted is clearly the primary use when it comes to the gpu choice

knowing that, it makes an easy decision on what gpu to get

[hollow harbor]

hey im looking for a new case and want to know if corsair frame 4000d can fit arctic liquid freezer 3 240mm. This aio is thicker than average though, its 63mm

[bright surge]

i hate discord sometimes...

[gaunt spade]

is the laptop 3070ti better than the 4070

[bright surge]

the laptop or desktop 4070?

[rigid fjord]

nope

[wintry cliff]

Fair, i would get the 3080 instantly if it wasn't for the vram

[rigid fjord]

it's performance helps

[stark flicker]

Vram isn't an issue, usually the gpu will not be performant enough before filling it, dlss will bring way more to the table than the super rare cases where vram won't be enough

[wintry cliff]

ahh i see, i guess 3080 is the way then

legit the only reason i was considering the 6800xt was the 16gb vram thats it lol]

[gaunt spade]

laptop

[rigid fjord]

you're viewing only based on one aspect

this is what you should be basing it on

[gaunt spade]

4070 gpus are getting lower scores than 3070 ti on some laptops

[cold skiff]

What resolution you playing

[wintry cliff]

1440p

im running dual monitors rn, one 1440p one 1080p

[rigid fjord]

which is doable on both gpu's

[cold skiff]

Native render results

[gaunt spade]

old ass games

[cold skiff]

Well it’s based on when they came out

You expecting someone to review them now?

[gaunt spade]

yea 2021 graph

yea

theres propably a video

[rigid fjord]

makes use of all aspects both gpu's can leverage tbh when it comes to gaming

[cold skiff]

A fake video of someone just limiting a 4090 and saying it’s this and this

[wintry cliff]

Looks like the 6800xt is better than the 3080 except on strange brigade and final fantasy albeit not that much difference

[cold skiff]

Like most YouTube benchmarks with video.

[gaunt spade]

from a reputable benchmarker

[gaunt spade]

wtf is strange brigade

[cold skiff]

I understand why Setsuna has you muted

[gaunt spade]

sure

[cold skiff]

You apply logic like a child

[rigid fjord]

framechaser is not a reputable benchmarker

[gaunt spade]

idk who that is

[cold skiff]

He probably has this sort of YouTube benchmarker as reputable

[rigid fjord]

ah the scripted kind

[gaunt spade]

love to hate

[cold skiff]

Dude you own 35 games on steam and have a vac ban

[gaunt spade]

what does that have to do with anything

[wintry cliff]

@rigid fjord One thing of concern im using a m-atx case for now, would any of those gpus fit?

Im looking at the trinity 3080

[cold skiff]

You’re about as experienced on real world performance and honest as a snake in a pit of hamsters

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/no-correlation-sirclues-mlwmSCYcDAcgWkz8s4

[wintry cliff]

Or gigabyte 6800xt

[gaunt spade]

makes no sense

[sinful cobalt]

trust me guys im reputable!11

i hab 9950x3d with 4400 mts with five jiro nein jiro

[rigid fjord]

look up the max gpu length the case handles, that'll tell you if many will fit

[sinful cobalt]

i will start benchmark channel and gimp every amd card on each vijeo!11

[cold skiff]

Funny thing is this one gimped the 3080

Like hard 10-20% fps differences

[rigid fjord]

i never realised i got this with a rx590

[sinful cobalt]

trust bro ill let the b580 fight the 5090

[rigid fjord]

i do miss that one time i got over 600fps in valorant with an rx560

[sinful cobalt]

the 5090 will be on 850mv and 66% power limit

LN2 b580

[cold skiff]

These videos aren’t even the fucking cards that’s what’s great

I love seeing day 1 or 2 reviews of new cards when you know the people don’t have them showing off the numbers

[wintry cliff]

alright will do

[sinful cobalt]

trust me bro ill put the 3080 at 4K native path tracing while the 9070xt at 1440p no RT how will they know

[cold skiff]

It’s probably a better benchmark than pccentric though. That lad is woeful

He called the 5070ti an extreme high end gpu

[haughty compass]

Finally got this system up and running... Looks so good even if it's not the most functional in this day and age

[rigid fjord]

if you're using a fan on the front of the case you may have to take 25mm aways from max gpu length when it comes to the case

[cold skiff]

Most case manufacturers now take that off / give dimensions based on stock fans fitted

[rigid fjord]

not from what i've seen dude

[cold skiff]

Fractal for sure

And Phanteks

[sinful cobalt]

“do you trust me?”
“with every cell of my body”

today we’ll be benchmarking valo-*

[rigid fjord]

fractal and phanteks be special in that case

[cold skiff]

Velka reduce by 5mm iirc, you use more space than they say

[rigid fjord]

before a fair few updates, r5 3600 + rx560

[haughty compass]

Damn

[cold skiff]

Corsair 4000d has 453 length and 360mm max gpu. They’ve removed a front rad/fans. with just fans you’re likely getting up to 400mm

[haughty compass]

I can barely hit 400fps consistently with r7 7600x3d + rx9070xt on valo

600 is crazy

[rigid fjord]

after the updates with the same combo

[cold skiff]

Just add frame gen isn’t part- Lego Batman team

Absolutely wild frame gen is required recommended spec for 60fps on a fucking Lego game

[rigid fjord]

when you realise, at the time someone with a 5600/5600x+ with a 6650xt couldn't get more than 300fps while i was getting that 600

with a 2gb vram gpu

[sinful cobalt]

brb bro leme go enabled x6 mfg on my 9850x3d (5.8ghz ddr5 8600) and 5090 matrix to hit 60 fps@1080p DLSS performance

[cold skiff]

Sounds like Adrenalin being Adrenalin

[cold skiff]

Should be using ddr 4400 for non mfg 60fps

Like Lego Batman must be rendering the ENTIRE world to run that shit at any one time

[sinful cobalt]

get a godbin fclk chip and do 4800/2400fclk

true 1:1

[wintry cliff]

This the current fitment

[cold skiff]

I’d call that kind of chip the one true morty

[cold skiff]

If it doesn’t fit…

[gaunt spade]

holy dirt

[sinful cobalt]

is that like a 3090 barely fitting

with like a 5600 on stock cooler

[gaunt spade]

looks like a 40 series suprim

[cold skiff]

No idea. It looks awesome

[gaunt spade]

4080 propably

[cold skiff]

White psu and case with black components

It’s like wearing shorts and t shirt to a funeral

[sinful cobalt]

mfw I remember me and 2 friends wearing basically the same fit with same colours

shit my teacher checked my work

[rigid fjord]

dremel/grinders fix all

[terse pewter]

seems to fit just fine

[rigid fjord]

i know someone who did that, mind you, the funeral program did say "wear whatever is comfortable and with colours"

the day i die, i want someone to appear dressed as the grim reaper, and another persons as the devil to my cremation

[silent scarab]

How fucked are prices? Is anyone building a new gaming pc right now fucked?

[rigid fjord]

ram prices has been fucked for around 6-7 months, prices are slowly decreasing but it's not price normalised just yet

[restive plinth]

Get half the RAM and leave slots empty for future upgrades when the RAM prices normalise

[silent scarab]

So 1 stick instead of 2? Or are you talking about quad channel?

[rigid fjord]

meaning getting a single 16gb ddr5 stick is fine

[silent scarab]

Ew

[rigid fjord]

do not ever touch 8gb sticks when it comes to ddr5

[restive plinth]

1 stick instead of 2 is fine
You can get another stick later when the prices normalise

[restive plinth]

My laptop has 2 x 8 GB DDR5
I am screwed. I wanted to upgrade this year but 2x16GB DDR5 is🥀

[rigid fjord]

also, quad channeling doesn't exist on consumer mobo's and cpu's

[rigid fjord]

time to swap out to a single 16gb stick

[restive plinth]

Well, yes but if I had a single 16GB stick, I could just buy 1 x 16GB stick and be done with it. Now I need to buy 2... And that's impossible right now

[silent scarab]

is windows 11 fixed yet? Also are you still forced to make a MS account?

[restive plinth]

Crucial's 16GB DDR5 RAM is at $243 here

[restive plinth]

Windows 11 has always been fine except for copilot buttons in random places which can be turned off. There is a way to skip MS account using cmd, but if you are using Bitlocker then create an account.

[sinful cobalt]

yall thinking about ddr5 im thinking about ddr6

[rigid fjord]

eh, issues still appear from time to time, and yes it does unless you use one of 2 different commands

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-gif-338783462287106063

[rigid fjord]

ddr7

[silent scarab]

They send out the update to remove the copilot stuff yet?

[restive plinth]

Since I cannot upgrade my RAM, I am thinking of swapping out my realtek to an intel one

[restive plinth]

You can always uninstall copilot... I had it uninstalled. I redownloaded it recently for one very specific use case

[sinful cobalt]

d6 just entered fabs and projected for 2028/2029 so good pricing shld be 2030

[silent scarab]

I'm still rocking win 10 until i build my new system. Doing a fresh install on this one is a waste of time.

[rigid fjord]

d7 was being worked on once jedec was released for d6

[sinful cobalt]

yeah but its nowhere near finalised so keep eyes on d6 first

[restive plinth]

Windows 11 looks better than windows 10 imo
And the updates this and next month make it a lot better.

File Explorer is faster, and Xbox mode is really nice if you use a controller.

The features that are expected to release soon are: Start Menu rewrite using WinUI, movable task bar, faster file explorer

[rigid fjord]

well jedec hasn't been finalized but at the same time, ddr7 is essentially already out considering gdd7 exists

[silent scarab]

Are they going back to the old start menu?

[restive plinth]

No
the new start menu looks good. It's better than the older one and has more customisation options. But this has part React in it. They are rewriting this same start menu with even more customisation options (Like smaller, larger menu, etc), but using winUI.

[sinful cobalt]

so that means i already have 64gb ddr7

[rigid fjord]

if you had a gpu with that in, yes you could have

[restive plinth]

The new run menu also looks nice. The last few insider updates have not had anything related to Copilot. And Windows team and Xbox team keep making comments online about removing copilot from more places.

It has been removed from the snipping tool and photos app. Notepad AI tools have been renamed and the option to turn it off still exists.

[rigid fjord]

if you use winaero tweaker, yes you can having it back to the OG start menu, and there's a cmd to change the context menu to an og one

[sinful cobalt]

total*

32+16+16

[iron glen]

wsp rauko

[restive plinth]

I would suggest using this other thing called nilesoft shell

[rigid fjord]

sup

[restive plinth]

https://nilesoft.org/

[rigid fjord]

this is a cursed ram combo, literally making the imc to run in hybrid mode

[rigid fjord]

the command line does this and is more straight forward

[restive plinth]

This is not the old context menu. This is a different one that still looks like Windows 11, but is a lot more better

Here is the task bar right click menu

[rigid fjord]

single command prompt line if you want to set the context menu in windows 11 to the more classic one that was in windows 10 and before it

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /ve /d /f

no more 2 clicks on menu to find what you want

[rigid fjord]

context menu is right click one

[restive plinth]

yes this is that
But it looks modern, but has a lot more features compared to existing windows 11 context menu

Classic menu works well, but it looks old.

[rigid fjord]

1 command line doing what the app you're suggesting does

[restive plinth]

classic menu does not look "modern"

this does

[rigid fjord]

classic menu would be back from win 98, win 10 version is a more modern take on the classic one tbh

[restive plinth]

technically yes, but it does not look Windows 11-ish. It feels out of place

[rigid fjord]

the less extra apps needed to modify windows the better

[restive plinth]

Nilesoft shell, vs Windows 11 context menu

[silent scarab]

I use classic shell on win 10.

[rigid fjord]

finding and learn specific command lines for modifying windows is what many should be doing

[restive plinth]

I agree to that

This provides an easy GUI for doing this. I suggest unregistering this before doing any update

[rigid fjord]

then use the command line i sent, it'll give you that in windows 11

[jovial swan]

I nearly shit myself, the air raid sirens went off across the nation,

I got a bargain 280 USD for a 9800x3d

It was a sketchy website but delivered by Amazon only issue is I don't have an am5 mobo to test it out to see if it's real but surely if it was delivered by Amazon and it's all sealed I don't have to worry too much

Box looks fine to me but u guys see any issues?

[rough salmon]

Son I still don’t have the Xbox mode

[gaunt spade]

hp and xbox mode

[rough salmon]

Cloud gaming bud

[gaunt spade]

just use the xbox app or whatever they have

[rough salmon]

But I want the Xbox app, I still play Minecraft and black ops 3 n stuff on it

I mean Xbox mode

[gaunt spade]

time to wait

[rough salmon]

Oh wait it’s a controlled update ain’t it

[gaunt spade]

my gpu have been stuck in customs for 20 days now

[rough salmon]

So not for everyone yet

[gaunt spade]

im so done

i have no gpu

[cold skiff]

Fucking yikes. Ram went up £50 overnight. These wild fluctuations are annoying

£200 for ddr5 16gb c36 per stick

[gaunt spade]

is it that bad over there

[rough salmon]

Yeah it isn’t ever going down is it

[cold skiff]

£1440 for a cheap 7500x3d / 9060xt yikes

With 32gb ram and 1tb ssd

[rough salmon]

Should I sell my 64gb ddr5

That I don’t use

[worn willow]

installed linux succesfully

[gaunt spade]

sad

[rough salmon]

Who wants to buy my 64gb ddr5 ram, I got for my spare pc but the spare pc only takes ddr4

[cold skiff]

I basically paid around that 3 years ago for a 7800x3d / 32gb ddr5 / 2tb ssd / 7800xt

[gaunt spade]

how much

[rough salmon]

£500 gng

[gaunt spade]

fuh na

[cold skiff]

So downgrade on cpu, gpu and storage capacity for the same price 3 years later is bonkers

64gb is like £700+

[deep musk]

-30 CAD absolutely best offer I can make

[rough salmon]

The fact steam controller now costs £200 cuz scalpers, they cleaned the stock on steam lol

[grizzled frost]

underbidding me is crazy

[gaunt spade]

here its half of that

[cold skiff]

I don’t think it’s because they cleaned it

[gaunt spade]

and i still wont pay even close to that much

[deep musk]

That’s everywhere, just gotta wait for new stock

[cold skiff]

Valve just didn’t make enough as most their stock will be aside for a steam machine bundle

not the loose money, as opposed to tight money

Just boot it up and launch cpu-z you'll know

[grizzled frost]

gotta keep a good grip on your money, otherwise it might blow away

[royal stone]

Yea I don't have a motherboard that can use it yet though in the process of building a 2nd pc

[rough salmon]

Reported that shi for pre sale reasons

[deep musk]

You forgor the “no am5 system” part

[cold skiff]

You need to open it up and inspect under ihs

[gaunt spade]

is it worth getting a 4080m ina desktop shroud for low watt but high performance or will a desktp 4070 do the same

[stark flicker]

lol that's something

[deep musk]

Driver support will be funky and you might get issues with it

5090 is very expensive ATM especially in my country it's like nearly 6k USD

[gaunt spade]

seller says 100-150 watt during gameplay thats super low

[median warren]

Then don't get 5090, get 4090/5080

[worn willow]

but it works

[cold skiff]

Not for a 4080m

[rough salmon]

No wonder eBay sellers get away with shit, they use ai for moderation 😭 it’s clearly a scalper

[gaunt spade]

for the performance

[cold skiff]

4080m TGP is like 150w base with 25w turbo boost maximum to 175w

[royal stone]

5080 is still pretty expensive too maybe I'll get the top amd GPU and then when 5090 gets cheaper I will upgrade

[gaunt spade]

its in a desktop shroud

[median warren]

5070ti then

[worn willow]

how to debloat linux

[median warren]

Or 4080 super

[median warren]

You're just rage baiting

[worn willow]

no
i actually have 25% storage taken up

[cold skiff]

And? What are you expecting? It to by some miracle work at 450w? You are astonishingly dimmer than a broken light bulb

[median warren]

Linux isnt bloated

Well I guess it depends

[worn willow]

mine is

[median warren]

You complain about bloat and then you say it runs fine and then you say it's bloated

[worn willow]

i changed distro

[terse pewter]

46Gib of storage

[median warren]

Also stfu your storage is literally only 50gb like wtf, stop ragebaiting

[royal stone]

So is there any way I can legitcheck a CPU without a motherboard or will I just have to have faith

See if it's real or fake

[median warren]

It's insanely rare for a new CPU to not work out of the box

[median warren]

Why would it be fake?

[royal stone]

I honestly don't think it's fake if it would be delivered by Amazon

[deep musk]

That’s really cool ngl, I which this was a more common thing to take gpu chips from dead laptops and making this with them

[royal stone]

I got it for like around 280usd when it usually goes for 500

[iron glen]

could just be used?

[median warren]

If you bought it on Amazon and the person on Amazon is a trusted retailer/seller with a big name behind their back, it's not fake

And yeah it could be used

[royal stone]

Nah it was sealed with the proper Ryzen seal on the box

[median warren]

It can still be used

[cold skiff]

Open it up. Take a picture showing ihs. Try and lift the ihs off by hand, if it lifts ya for a fake one with no die under

That’s normally how those work

The seal means nothings good fake packaging out there

[stark flicker]

bloat ?

[deep musk]

You have 25% of fucking 46gb no shit it’s 25% used up

[worn willow]

yeah

[stark flicker]

why

[deep musk]

@stark flicker part 1

[median warren]

Every time barti comes into chat all he does is ragebait and make dumb points so it's whatever, it's just how he is

[deep musk]

@stark flicker part 2/2

[median warren]

He's the person who said he wouldn't buy a phone because its too fragile if it doesn't survive being stabbed by a screwdriver

[stark flicker]

yeah ok lol

[deep musk]

And he said i was a pedo

[stark flicker]

that's not cool

[iron glen]

cherry on top

[deep musk]

So his opinions aren’t really of any value ngl

[worn willow]

but is that true

[median warren]

It is not

[iron glen]

"hey man could i get help with this piece of junk?"
"lol that is a piece of junk"
"okey pedophile"

[stark flicker]

well we hope it's not lol

[worn willow]

yeah i dealt with too many already

[deep musk]

No you dumb fuck

[median warren]

Barti I heard you like having sex with animals, you're into beastiality

[stark flicker]

If you are underage don't use discord that's it

[median warren]

Confirmed, 100% no going back

[stark flicker]

wait you are a DCS world user

[worn willow]

[iron glen]

oh man is that true?
man they must really suck

[median warren]

Nope, it's true

[worn willow]

no

[iron glen]

oh damn it is true

[median warren]

Yeah I know it's disgusting isn't it

[worn willow]

lies

[deep musk]

If you often meet pedos, maybe it’s cause you’re not frequenting the right communities, and also in French we have a saying: “qui se ressemble s’assemble”

[iron glen]

kind of is, shouldnt be allowed on the street ngl

[worn willow]

i dont speak french

[iron glen]

not kind of, it is disgusting
what am i on about

[median warren]

Yeah should be arrested

[median warren]

I understand you

[deep musk]

[deep musk]

Indeed

[terse pewter]

ermmmm what is going on here

[stark flicker]

What are you doing on the server then

[terse pewter]

this is some funny tech chat haha

[median warren]

Yes I love tech chat

[worn willow]

idk

[iron glen]

after some thorough research i have boiled it down to "takes one to know one"

[stark flicker]

tbf those guys will hunt for them so he is maybe just a youngling ...

[iron glen]

heres my thoroough research if anyone is interested

[cold skiff]

Pour quoi?

[worn willow]

NEIN

[royal stone]

Text on the CPU looks maybe fine to me

[iron glen]

looks fine to me

[cold skiff]

It’s more about the caps underneath

[stark flicker]

yeah it's probably going to be fine, I have bought / made people buy like 10-20 aliexpress amd cpu and they ALL always worked without any issue 😉

[cold skiff]

You can see the bonding agent/glue so looks good

[deep musk]

Yeah, but idk, he feels old and too young for discord at the same time

[iron glen]

no
ive come to the conclusion hes the punisher

[cold skiff]

Can’t say I’ve ever met a kiddy fiddler on discord

Not knowingly

[iron glen]

im exprired in their eyes

[cold skiff]

I know 3 people arrested and convicted for it in my area

One came out of prison with his long hair shaved and a full fisherman beard to try not to be recognised

[iron glen]

i luckily dont

[iron glen]

lmao

[cold skiff]

I enjoy watching those Hunter videos of their shocked faces and excuses

[mint umbra]

Why are ppl buying scalpers controllers lol they will prob restock soon

[iron glen]

i watched critical watch chris hansen once

[cold skiff]

They’ve got stock it’s just held for bundles

[mint umbra]

What bundles

[deep musk]

No idea

[cold skiff]

Chris Hansen what a guy

[deep musk]

Steam boxes

[cold skiff]

The South Park episode brings me to tears

[mint umbra]

I doubt the steam machine releasing soon

Since we still in ram crisis

[gaunt spade]

2028 is soon tho

[deep musk]

We’re 99% sure they’ll bundle every single one with a controller so they gotta make sure they have stock no matter what

[mint umbra]

Don't make sense to hold for bundles if steam machine prob not releasing for quite a while

[cold skiff]

Yes it does

It don’t make sense to install Linux when you don’t need it for anything but there where are Damocles, what makes sense to you doesn’t to the rest of us

[iron glen]

because they don't know that

[iron glen]

when do you ever need liux?

like whats a situation where you can't go without linux

[ionic atlas]

All my servers

[iron glen]

eh
sounds believable

idk anything about servers

[deep musk]

In very low power pomputers, in cars (most known one is Tesla’s software is based on Linux), servers, etc

[ionic atlas]

Windows server has “active hours” , what a joke lol

[cold skiff]

I have active hours too

That’s why I sleep 🤷🏼‍♂️

[ionic atlas]

24/7 reliability? Not even close

[deep musk]

Windows server might have made sense long ago

[cold skiff]

Damocles also uses chatgpt as a search engine so we have to remember he doesn’t know much about much

[ionic atlas]

We have one left old FTP server

[iron glen]

whats with the hate

[restive plinth]

It's probably to allow for automatic updates when you don't use it. I think it can be disabled.

[deep musk]

Oof you don’t wanna be the one that will have to upgrade that thing to the current century

My company did AI training and we had the same excel sheet, copy and pasted the same prompt to do math on it and rip out mistakes and everyone got different levels of mistakes and correction. AI just isn’t cutting the mustard when it can’t do basic math my excel formula does with 100% accuracy in less time than copilot does

[kindred halo]

I am thinking of buying a WiFi range extender with an ethernet port in it

WiFi is ass but maybe an extender will help, alongside getting the WiFi that reaches it in wired form to my laptop

[deep musk]

Linux is hella bloated. I gotta uninstall the thing to get my pc running

[deep musk]

Good

[worn willow]

aaa

[kindred halo]

@deep musk RE200 specifically, AC750

[cold skiff]

Would not surprise me

When I questioned why copilot couldn’t do the basic math thing I was told it’s predicting. And I said all inputs are the same so outputs should be and no explanation given other than “ahh yeah it predicts everything it predicts”

[deep musk]

Ohhh nicey, mine is an old ass one (forgor which one exactly) cause my router has wifi 6e and some old ass laptops really struggle with it for some reasons

[kindred halo]

Oh interesting
Is it WIFI4 old ass or WIFI5 old ass

[deep musk]

It’s important to know that if the extender has a poor connection to the router, it will also broadcast a poor signal too (I swear im not trying to “mansplain” or “girlsplain” or anything, juss making sure to keep that in mind)

[deep musk]

Wifi4 I think

[kindred halo]

Madam I know almost nothing, this information is valuable to me

[worn willow]

i hate linux

[kindred halo]

This isn't mansplaining or girlsplaining
This is EXplaining
I am learning new things!!!!

[deep musk]

An access point upgrade might be more advantageous

[deep musk]

Damn who’s surprised to hear that from you

[kindred halo]

Whuh?

Also, any useful information in these?

[deep musk]

The wifi emitter

[kindred halo]

As in, stuff too look out for I mean?

[kindred halo]

The router? Well.. I can't change it, or modify where it is

I am staying in someone else's home, and their DSL cable is just about at its limit in terms of reach

[deep musk]

No but you can add an access point via Ethernet

[kindred halo]

Difficult, would require wiring and mounting that I doubt will be approved

My only real option for Internet improvement is just WiFi extenders, unfortunately

[deep musk]

Not this one exactly but an example https://a.co/d/0cPl7EwX (you can just leave it beside the router)

It’s kind of a “better wifi antenna” for your router (this is a very simplified explanation)

[median warren]

It's basically magic

[kindred halo]

Oh

Oh my days the cheapest one is $66

Oh nvm $33

[deep musk]

(Yeah, they aren’t super cheap, but from what I understand of your issue they are your best option (I unfortunately can’t guarantee you that it will be so much better because I have no idea of the physical configuration of the house and how far away you are from the router)

[kindred halo]

Room difference, but Layout is unfavourable for WiFi "wave bouncing"

Needs extreme angles for optimal reach, or long airtime

[deep musk]

Oh oki, then maybe a circuit wifi extender wired from your router to your room would be a better option

[deep musk]

Something like this https://a.co/d/0h54n8N7

[gaunt spade]

7800x3d tdp is 120 but how much does it draw while gaming

[kindred halo]

Yeah I unfortunately can't use anything wired from the router, or anything with long cabling required

Only cables I can use are the one from the extender to the laptop for a "wired" connection

[deep musk]

You don’t need to plug it far from the router, you can plug it in the wall plug next to the router, plug Ethernet between the router and the first unit and then plug the second unit in your room

It uses the house’s electrical circuit to transmit an Ethernet signal

[stark flicker]

Look at techpowerup review

[deep musk]

Ohhh

[gaunt spade]

9955hx 55 watsts 🥀

[deep musk]

Isn’t it a laptop chip?

[gaunt spade]

yep

[deep musk]

Oh oki, not surprised it’s capped at 55 watts

[gaunt spade]

just checked base is 55 idk why they would advertise that max is 120and higher i think

[deep musk]

Maybe it’s cause they don’t trust their vrms

[kindred halo]

Yeah </3

[open rock]

Most of theres are but this one was highly rated on the psu tierlist and it meets all my requirements (theres not alot of choices in my country)

[cold skiff]

Why is that even a problem for a mobile chip? Your head needs a wobble

[deep musk]

@cold skiff

[gaunt spade]

why is bro so angry always

https://giphy.com/gifs/chill-guy-new-character-qJzZ4APiDZQuJDY7vh

[kindred halo]

Yeah, thing is.. No nearby wall socket, unless a multi-socket extension cable counts as one?

Because both units would be plugged into extension cables

[deep musk]

Might work, gonna need to look up online tho

[wheat bison]

Should i press it more in?

[cold skiff]

Reseat it Tim

Slot it in with even pressure

[rigid fjord]

according to which list, and what exact model?

[rigid fjord]

it would be, but it's not capped at 55w, it can do more

[stark flicker]

yes

[rigid fjord]

it should be in as far as it goes

[wheat bison]

worked

[quick crest]

overclocking is spooky

[rigid fjord]

for some it's black magic

[quick crest]

overclocking my 3060, anything above +100 core is so unstable

[rigid fjord]

did you adjust the voltage while doing it?

[quick crest]

nope but power limit is set all the way up

[rigid fjord]

you should be adjusting it also

[quick crest]

yikes
i mean when i was undervolting my card i messed with voltage

[rigid fjord]

you adjust the memory/core oc while adjusting the voltage

[quick crest]

ahh that does make sense lol

heres how its looking right now

[rigid fjord]

when you find the equilibrium , you know you have it at it's most stable point

doing just one makes an OC unstable

[quick crest]

got it

[eternal tinsel]

Hi guys i js upgrade my laptop with a 7th gen intel cpu with 16gb ram should i install atlas os?

[azure topaz]

it does hardly anything on nvidia, at least if you mean dragging the voltage slider up to “+100%”

[quick crest]

well that would certainly do something 😭

[azure topaz]

it does nothing

[quick crest]

really?

[azure topaz]

you get 10-20mv more

[quick crest]

oh damn

[azure topaz]

which yeah might get you 20mhz at most but that isn’t doing anything day to day

[quick crest]

does this seem alright? its being stress tested rn as well

[eternal tinsel]

What should i do first after buying a new laptop?

[azure topaz]

the only thing worth doing to your gpu is an undervolt oc, go to stock/ target a clock and lower voltage following the nvidia guide

https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia Overclocking.md

[quick crest]

alright, i did try undervolting before and got instability issues at around 2100MHz at 975mV

[azure topaz]

so either don’t target 2100 mhz or 975mv it’s that simple

[rigid fjord]

either to high for the oc amounts or to low an undervolt

[azure topaz]

2100mhz is aggressive for ampere on 975mv

[ivory mountain]

nerddd

[sinful cobalt]

can i do 2099 mhz for ampere on 975mv

[solemn pewter]

I have a 13700H CPU laptop that is just completely useless when unplugged, and it's infurating

My girlfriends laptop did the same shit where windows parks every single damn core

A few chatGPT suggested commands fixed it and just the general sluggishness

[solemn pewter]

yup, of my 20 CPU cores, 3 of them are unparked.

[frigid blade]

What’s the frequency they’re running at?

2.82Ghz

[frigid blade]

Weird that’s not that low

On my laptop with my i7-4600U I had to reinstall Windows every now and then because it would slow down a lot over time

[south arrow]

Although latest build the psu didnt have that many pcie cables so had to

[unreal bramble]

Can the cmos battery prevent a pc from booting

[south arrow]

If you want to. Lf3 pro is intended to get pretty fast on the fans causing decent noise under load

Ofc can always limit the cpu alittle or fan curve if you wanted

[latent drift]

Is the XG27AQWMG worth buying? Looking to get an Oled but the banding is scary xd

[placid citrus]

Yeah I've been tweaking it but they're still seeming obnoxiously loud... i originally wanted a D15 but it blocked me from installing my GPU (Hyte Y70 case, vertical mounting for gpu required)

By originally wanted I mean I discovered the conflict after everything but the GPU was installed and it delayed me building it by 2 weeks due to life

[south arrow]

If its an old build like 5-20 years old can a cheap cr2023 never hurts to toss in

Yeah i feel like its counter productive

[plain cypress]

Non annoying gif

[stray portal]

It makes it seem like its good for nothing besides ai

[latent gull]

Wait can you actually find gifs on it?

[tall sandal]

finally planning on building a pc

likely ryzen 9 9900x + rtx 5060, midrange build

Price of 9900x is good here, offeres solid preformance

Already have ram

[carmine yew]

Are you gaming primarily or doing productivity work?

if gaming: Consider a 9700x
If productivity mainly: The 9900x is fine

[steel umbra]

if a ryzen 9 is cheaper i'd get it over a ryzen 7 in most cases also due to higher resell value

but make sure you look at ryzen 7700 and ryzen 9700/x tray

if those are available they're usually a lot cheaper

[tall sandal]

productivity + some gaming only on the side

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zBdMvR

already have storage and RAM, ddr5 32gb + ssd

need my data

Price is good, midrange

[median warren]

270k plus is £50 less

I don't know if that suits your needs

Motherboard can be found for like £165 for it as well

[tall sandal]

I was thinking of 270k+

but its out of stock on amazon

my mom only trusts amazon becuase they have a good 30 day return window, we need to make sure CPU and other parts no issues

Gonna be bringing it to the PC building shop, we check and make sure CPU no defects

with stress tests, PBO on etc

Cuz we are very strict abt this stuff, important to do tests.

[frigid blade]

Just pay with credit card that’s all you need to do if you worry about trust

PayPal with CC for 2 lines of defense

[tall sandal]

Just got strict parents man

They are like this haha

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/mouse-walkout-hi-there-bye-gif-14078209

[tall sandal]

they making stuff up too, I asked is 1500 GBP budget ok

and they said yea yea yea, then now they are saying what do you need this for, and that price around what I sent in pc parts picker is what they will get

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zBdMvR

and that this is enough (btw got RAM and storage already, from my Old pc, DDR5, its an ass pc)

[rigid fjord]

get a 5070, do not go for a 5060

also what speed is the ddr5 ram you got already?

[median warren]

That's crazy considering other retailers have better return windows

Especially considering the in stock 270k plus is on scan computers

[tall sandal]

Bad

[median warren]

One of the most trusted retailers, I trust scan more than Amazon

[tall sandal]

4800, but doesn’t matter

[rigid fjord]

how bad?

[deep musk]

woups, sorry

[rigid fjord]

send that off with the old system

you can grab a single 16gb 6000 cl30-36 stick instead to start with

[south arrow]

Start a #1027757333117415424 thread include your specs, the issue, and what you've all tried somone will come along eventually

[rigid fjord]

and due to the price, get yourself a 9060xt 16gb

[latent gull]

<@&750150305383186585>

[tall sandal]

But does ram speed really make a difference?

Linus has tested, and no it doesn’t he said.

I don’t wanna deal with selling and stuff.

[rigid fjord]

it can net you some difference to system response

[tall sandal]

Nah there isn’t an issue with ram related tasks

It’s plenty, just other parts of pc not good

[rigid fjord]

it has some affect on the cpu also

[tall sandal]

How much?

[rigid fjord]

can be minor in some cases and depends on what program

[tall sandal]

It’s 32gb DDR5 2x 16Gb

It will work, even though it’s like office pc ram

I don’t wanna waste money. This is not like a massive gaming pc

[rigid fjord]

also tbf, there's some stuff linus has said in some vids that's aged like milk

[tall sandal]

For productivity, some gaming on the side

That’s why RTX 5060. But a decent cpu

Becuase I care about cpu performance

[rigid fjord]

yeah, and you're going with a 9900x, which idealy runs better with 6000mt/s ram

[tall sandal]

In what tasks?

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/HZm2V4 you can do this and swap your ram out for something decent instead

[hexed tapir]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZMtkXf

[tall sandal]

Core ultra 7 270k+ is out of stock

[deep musk]

wait for it to be in stock

[tall sandal]

My mom doesn’t let me buy other than on Amazon

Also I dont want to be on this dead socket

[rose stream]

Still wish we could have a Bartlett Lake equivalent of Arrow Lake that actually could work with normal motherboards ngl.

[tall sandal]

and Intel had issues before, we don’t know if this one had it

[clear canyon]

Thats just cinebench, real world performance is prob the same

[tall sandal]

maybe

[hexed tapir]

Amd has issues to

Explode cpu

[tall sandal]

yea rare

[hexed tapir]

Amd said it will support am5 till the end of 2027 "+" , I assume we might get one more new improved line of cpus then renamed "new" models like the Ryzen 9 5900xt that is just a 5950x

Am4 is getting "new cpus" still but nothing that's good

[plain cypress]

I'll sell you mine for $500

[deep musk]

35 CAD take it or leave it

[frigid blade]

285k price

[hexed tapir]

We only accept real currency

[haughty compass]

Graveyard of old tech I haven't touched in way too long

[deep musk]

ohhh so chocolate dollars? oki doki, let me go get some

[hexed tapir]

Most of the monitors are e waste not old tech

[deep musk]

huh? the hell is that?

[hexed tapir]

In all honesty I would rather have chocolate bars over Canadian currency

[deep musk]

x3

[rigid fjord]

so quantaloos and beans

[sleek ibex]

The first two of the far left bottom row for computer towers look interesting

[sleek ibex]

[haughty compass]

Laptop + roblox toys + harddrive

• cables

[deep musk]

oh oki, was weirded out by the roblox thingy

[hexed tapir]

Hey we all know those 900p tn screens are a crime against man

[haughty compass]

One of them I found an old Gmail written on the side panel my dad set up for my sister in 2009 but was never used

[rigid fjord]

you want to make a sleeper in one of them

[haughty compass]

Surprisingly most of em are 1080p but the other few are uh yeah not that good

[carmine yew]

1366x768 points and laughs

[sharp ivy]

oooh

Compaq monitor cool

and those pcs at the bottom

[rigid fjord]

not as cool as a dell monitor

[sharp ivy]

the square ones

I have one of those

[tender relic]

First time building coming from console
Pc built and posts.
Local windows profile
Drivers installed and updated
Argb all set up
Nividea drivers all set up.
Anything else I need to do. Ive not had to put in my windows key yet

[rigid fjord]

the og ones

[haughty compass]

Oh fr

[hexed tapir]

Turn on rebar and set up xmp

[sharp ivy]

oh mine is one of the newer ones

[tender relic]

Xmp on ram running at 6400 cl32 what's rebar?

[rigid fjord]

yeah, definitely a newer one, i have an older one

[deep musk]

dell sff optiplex cooler spotted

[sharp ivy]

I use dell stock coolers and stuff as screwdriver holders

[hexed tapir]

resizable bar it boost performance it will be in your mobo bios settings

[deep musk]

sick

[haughty compass]

Wait I saw an old image and just checked... Why did Ai ever put an ssd in this pc

[sharp ivy]

slightly older photo but this

[carmine yew]

because a cheap ssd makes a pc 10 times as responsive as an hdd

[tender relic]

Oh so its back to the bios for some tinkering.
When do I activate windows ? Or is this something I dont have to do

[haughty compass]

Yeah but idk the last time I used this pc

[hexed tapir]

You don't have to

[sharp ivy]

Aliexpress SSD shaved 40secs off my MSI CR600's boot time

[carmine yew]

i mean, that's probably (at most) 256gb or 512

[haughty compass]

My cat decided to join me with opening pcs ❤️

[tender relic]

Oh ideal, so I dont need my product key

[hexed tapir]

CAT VOID

[sharp ivy]

useful to keep anyways

[hexed tapir]

If you have a key use it, no activation watermarks that way

[haughty compass]

Bro I've never seen ram sticks so short

[sharp ivy]

fairly common for DDR2

[sleek ibex]

Let me grab my 486 machine real quick

[sharp ivy]

oh yes

[haughty compass]

Didnt know thatv

[sharp ivy]

lemme grab the 256K in my IPC-88

[deep musk]

I've seen lp (low profile) ecc ddr3 before

[tender relic]

Sick so once all thats done slap it through some benchmarks and happy gaming

[hexed tapir]

Ffs second time you posted a photo with the address information on a package not showing anything useful for me to use against you

[sharp ivy]

is this low profile enough

[haughty compass]

[sleek ibex]

I have 256KiB of L2 cache at a blistering 12ns yooo

[left trellis]

gooner ani8me

[hexed tapir]

Could you move the back pack and retake the photo?

[haughty compass]

Is this what you want

[hexed tapir]

Yes

[haughty compass]

There's a lot more where that came from

[hexed tapir]

Does your country not have trash and recycle pickup

[haughty compass]

Neighborhood has to pay for it

Which uh they dont

Cus most people in neighborhood didn't want to contribute to the cost

But we have trash pickup

Not recycle though (cus of what I said above)

[steel umbra]

Ngl your country should force tax payers to recycling

[sharp ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/gem-finding-gem-gem-alert-jasswa-looking-for-gem-gif-4573895384736430461

[random junco]

i want to add these to my box collection

[steel umbra]

People end up just throwing junk at the ground and then once it becomes as issue ofc they pay someone much more to pick it up

from the tax payers

[hexed tapir]

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y4dxlgkp4o

[steel umbra]

Rip

I wish people were sentenced for a decade or more for these

because the impact they'll have in the future one way or another are huge

[grizzled frost]

Whilst in prison, they should be required to engage in community cleanup

Put em in an orange jumpsuit and make them pick up trash off the highway

[steel umbra]

Also i'd like to see the kind of prisons finnish have

[grizzled frost]

I'm a big fan of relevant punishments, rather than just generic prison

[steel umbra]

So they're actually not going to commit a crime right after being released

[grizzled frost]

Fuck something up? you should be required to work to unfuck it

[grizzled frost]

You'd first have to unprivatize the prisons in the US

[sleek ibex]

That's easier said than done and wishful thinking I'm sad to say

[grizzled frost]

Unfortunately so

the people with the power to do it have zero incentive to do so

[steel umbra]

Well, regular people also see it as paying more taxes for prisoneers

[sleek ibex]

One word: ||bureaucracy||

[deep musk]

aaahhhhhh scary

[steel umbra]

We all know you're saying the truth, but you still gotta have it on 5 different papers!

[wheat torrent]

Hi LTT

I was thinking how great it is that now we have USB-C ports everywhere that go in both ways

And I was thinking what if instead of USB-C we had another universe where instead of USB we would of used mostly audio jack type connectors

[steel umbra]

Wait until you learn about single sided usb c's

[wheat torrent]

[deep musk]

[wheat torrent]

Cant find any, is it those that use screws?

[wheat torrent]

I wonder like how much pins could one fit on a circular port

Could one even do pins?

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-macska-cica-vomit-oklendez-gif-14738230240638170539

[wheat torrent]

Like what if you took the pin layout of for example pcie, where it's a bunch of pins in a row, and you bend it

You know what I'm saying

[steel umbra]

In otg adapters, cables

[steel umbra]

5 pin layout, usb 2.0

usb 2.0 in quotes*

I tore it apart to confirm, but no pics of that

after 10 uses it was barely working

[wheat torrent]

[steel umbra]

I stole the golden plated contacts, that's all it was worth

[wheat torrent]

One day in the future

We will have data ports that are like cpu sockets

That maybe latch together magnetically or something idk

Ok maybe not I'm just saying shit nvm

Well I guess we already do that kind of connectors inside phones

Where you have those lil strips that connect like legos

[steel umbra]

well the issue is durabilty and compactness

usb c is good because of that aslongside compatibility/convenience

you can create a new better usb c but you’ll miss the latter

so it would end up being worse

but who knows you can maybe fit even more pins into a usb c

[void eagle]

i want to replace my gamer tier OLED with a ProArt OLED in future and I'll pay the stupid tier markup price when I can; just to not have fucked colour accuracy ngl

I mean this monitor has useless presets for MOBA, FPS, Cinema (actually just crushes the blacks), and Racing (default OLED eyestrain vivid mode), and there's an SRGB too but it's washed out and looks like a 2014 IPS - but don't add a Display P3 or Colour Reference mode. I bet this is so they can upcharge creatives for the damn ProArt monitors...

Like you can sort of fake colour accuracy but it's annoying

I mean god-damnit their sales strategy works i guess because the fact this monitor cannot display colours accurately pisses me the fuck off on a daily basis

[odd marsh]

sRGB? are you running in HDR mode?

[void eagle]

No. They made the SRGB mode fucking useless by locking the brightness to like a very low amount and flattening colours

I had to setup some as close to accurate as i could get using USER mode so my art doesn't look horrible when i take it from my Calman verified IPS drawing tablet

[plain cypress]

What model

[void eagle]

XG27AQDMG

[deep musk]

very cool vid https://youtu.be/UCBAqaT4SQc?si=DEkPdUxxxblOyLQM

[void eagle]

I'll replace it with this when i get more money because the one gamer tech I buy and it fucking sucks ass
