[ionic ember]

oh cool powercolor is starting to do waifu gpus

spoilered for official art showing off an impossibly fat butt on a graphics card

[pulsar root]

oh thats cool

i really love the design of FE cards like RTX 5090; theyre just so clean

[south arrow]

Cheeeks

[sleek ibex]

The Yestons do look nice though not my cup of tea personally

[ionic ember]

I just like it when companies try stuff out in their designs

I don't know if anime girls on graphics cards is necessarily what I'm after either but at least it's something

[south arrow]

Thats valid

[sleek ibex]

To be fair the ol black, grey, silver, and white does get boring after seeing them for a while

[ionic ember]

yeah...

[pulsar root]

2080ti cyberpunk looke dcool too

[sleek ibex]

I'm seeing some 90s-2000s nostalgia aesthetics a lot more lately in this sense

[boreal elbow]

And now it's not turning on keyboard so I can enter bios

[rain lily]

i wonder how much the 5090s will go up in price by the time I save up for one

[boreal elbow]

Welp this seems like something future caboose to deal with

[rain lily]

do we have high hopes for the 6090? 5090 was a let down aside from a nice vram bump

i’ve been getting a little nervous about the future of personal pc ownership ngl

esp with the whole deal with compute limitations on chips going to china and stuff

and component prices going up

none of it is very promising

but with nvidia announcing all their ai texture compression and stuff with vram prices skyrocketing I’m a bit worried what the future may hold

maybe it will be some killer gpus

[ionic ember]

build the best pc you can, hunker down, get a VPN, degoogle, and move to linux

[sinful cobalt]

if you have to save up for one: you cant afford it

[rain lily]

yeah that’s the plan getting gentoo on here, it’s been too long. probably throw arch on first to see how I want to setup everything since there’s been some progress over the past 4 years or so

[bold olive]

im the kind of person that is desperate for my pc parts to look ass to save money for the same performance

hence I don't follow

[ionic ember]

I'm saving for a 5090 just so I can say with the utmost confidence that I have the best PC available because who knows when we're getting meaningful advancements in hardware again anyways

[bold olive]

someone with a Blackwell 6000:

[ionic ember]

I'm a month in to my 5090 fund and I'm halfway there

[rain lily]

i’ve just started setting a little aside for it and I’ll sell my 5070ti and get maybe 8-900 for it

[ionic ember]

eats shit on gaming compared to a 5090

[rain lily]

yeah I’m a week and a half into saving and I’m at $250 but I’ve just been setting 10% it. maybe should raise that a little to keep up with gpu inflation. :p

[bold olive]

eats shit on ai slop compared to a 6000

[ionic ember]

we clearly want two different things from our PCs

[bold olive]

I have a 5060ti so

[rain lily]

once I have a 5090 I’ll pretty much have my dream setup minus like a PB of NAS

[bold olive]

cant talk

[ionic ember]

4070TiS here, it gets the job done but the GPU bottleneck bothers me

[rain lily]

how’s the dlss4.5 overhead in 5060ti

[bold olive]

idk haven't played games that had 4.5

nor did I use it on the games that support it

[ionic ember]

I'll probably pay for my 5090 with 3k in cash and put the rest on a credit card, whatever's left will be less than 1k

[rain lily]

5070ti isn’t really enough for 4k gaming imo at least coming from 1440p where I had nice framerates. with dlss it kicks ass is most cases but still can struggle occasionally

[bold olive]

i still don't understand 4k on 27"

[rain lily]

i have a 42”

120hz 4k oled

[bold olive]

one could argue i have a 4k too

50 inches

supports variable refresh rate up to 60 hertz

[rain lily]

some huge ass rear projection crt or what

[bold olive]

||samsung crystal||

the os is a patience tester

[sinful cobalt]

5060Ti here

[rain lily]

mine’s rooted ;)

[bold olive]

"wraith stealth cooler stuck on it" 5060 ti

[sinful cobalt]

why would i lie

[bold olive]

nothing

[clear canyon]

I run a 4080 its perfect and quite overkill for 90% of what I use it for

[solid spear]

How long does windows installation usually take

[south arrow]

Can take awhile not sure the avg. But setting aside, 15-30 minutes couldnt hurt depending on expierence

[gilded harness]

my ssd died and it gave me idea of selling the pc then buy a new one

What am i doing. 😭😭😭😭😭💔

[native path]

😭

[vestal delta]

just upgraded my gpu to the 9070xt no matter what fh6 is capped at 15 fps, and I assume its software but im not sure which

[vestal delta]

genius

[calm quarry]

Try disabling vsync just kidding do you have any apps that limit greater or any framerate settings in the game?

[sinful cobalt]

1: Drivers
2: You capped your FPS somewhere.

[vestal delta]

figured it was drivers but i just installed the new ones

[calm quarry]

Also vsync could cause that if you for some odd reason had a 15hz monitor or your monitors set to 15hz

[vestal delta]

its already off you can see

plus my monitor isnt freesync compatible so

[sinful cobalt]

Then you have something limiting your FPS. Check the game and AMD adrenaline

[vestal delta]

dont have amd adrenaline

[calm quarry]

https://youtube.com/shorts/xm5WjkgcBhU?si=wxvYNSULwU3jLASW

Try this and then installing the drivers again

[sinful cobalt]

its literally the amd app 💀 💀 💀

[calm quarry]

Make sure there’s no conflicts

[spring latch]

in the middle of operation, Linux kernel paniced (Indicated by a freeze and all USB devices shutting off) On reboot the machine kept post looping When doing a CMOS reset, it kept flashing between CPU and RAM lights, which indicated RAM training failed, and so it defaulted to 800MHz, swapping the 2 sticks in B/D to A/C fixed the issue
either a bad slot, or a fluke

[vestal delta]

did that

[calm quarry]

Ah bless

[calm quarry]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adrenalin.html

[calm quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1p49wc4/yesterday_my_game_ran_fine_today_i_get_like_15/ seems to be a cpu issue with bf6

[vestal delta]

also i already played around with running as admin and disabling fullscreen opt so not sure where else

[calm quarry]

https://youtu.be/v9cGr8rBjrI?si=-NKBXy_PbeD_oQGF

Try this

[vestal delta]

well its fh6 but Ill see I guess

[sinful cobalt]

did you ddu the drivers and reinstall again

otherwise its straight up skill issue/amd issue lmaoao

[calm quarry]

Oh wrong game sorry

It won’t work

[vestal delta]

i did ddu before i took apart my computer and then I installed the new ones after booting

[calm quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/comments/1tdw1j0/fh6_performance_issues/

[sinful cobalt]

go and check AMD adrenaline bruh

[calm quarry]

It seems to be common just do ddu again

[vestal delta]

im installing holdup

[sinful cobalt]

how the fuck did you even install the drivers without AMD adrenaline

the top pages on a driver search lead you straight to installing amd adrenaline

[vestal delta]

I chose not to install it

[cold skiff]

You can run the setup and say don’t install it but install the drivers

[vestal delta]

theres an option for that

anyways I got it open

i assume its a setting somewhere in the app?

[gilded harness]

Dude my ssd died in the middle of the crisis 😭 i aint got money to afford one

gonna go from 5600 to 12100f

lga 1700 in big 2026

[vestal delta]

rip

[gilded harness]

have some spare parts so i think i could save some money too!

i love evga

[native path]

evga :(

[sinful cobalt]

i still have my 5070ti to sell

[native path]

500 and ewaste take it or leave it

[sinful cobalt]

nah im gonna list for 1200 on carou ez

[rain lily]

is thunderbolt on am5 possible

i’d only really need thunderbolt 2 but anything newer would be cool too.

[calm quarry]

Don’t worry get an old dvr system from a goodwill and then take the hard drive out of it

Even 250gb ssds have seemingly gone up in price hell both sata and nvme are similar prices

[clear pebble]

dumb question, but anyone else that owns an xbox elite 2 controller having its left joystick drifting or the button not working?

[iron glen]

The thingamabob could be dead

The stick thats in the board

Or it could have a speck of dust in it or smth

[grave jay]

dumb question but instead of buying expensive routers from cisco or hpe or ubiquity or etc why not just use mac mini or something and idk

[clear pebble]

sadly its new how could it be?

[iron glen]

You been bashing it around?

Or have you dropped it?

Or has it had any sort of physical impact at all

Also how new is it

My xbox series X controller died in its first month of use

Left stick is also drifting

Unusable if i want to play something

[clear pebble]

no, just bought it today

[sharp ivy]

You don't even need to do that

I just bought a good health 1tb Seagate Barracuda off marketplace for $20CAD

[vestal delta]

tried updating my drivers and now i get this

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-cat-catlaughing-laughingcat-point-gif-7577620470218150413

[vestal delta]

alright I managed to get it to work but I still havent solved the problem

fh6 still stuck at 15 fps

gonna try reinstalling my gpu driver

[gilded harness]

ya

Im going to get used ssd 🥀

goodbye 5000d hello a3

[vestal delta]

man

the fucking game changed my fps limit setting to 20 fps

so much time wasted

at least i didnt go through reinstalling my driver

howd this even happen, was it because i switched my gpu after i had first changed it to be unlimited?

at least i fixed my chipset drivers

[sinful cobalt]

well done

I told you there is prob an FPS limit somewhere

[verbal prawn]

@sinful cobalt 2 VERs

[sinful cobalt]

that m3 touring is a boat

[verbal prawn]

nuh uh it's in p4

[sinful cobalt]

in the corners

[torn girder]

@craggy cove
@deep musk @hard parrot
sad update yall, it went from a X870E bundle to a Gigabyte X870 ($629.89) to a B650E for $599.99.

Should I just bite the bullet and go for a 9800X3D bundle for $729.99 just so I can get that X870E or get the base 7800X3D + ram + B650E and try to find a second hand X870E?

[verbal prawn]

dude it caught me so off guard when i first tuned in

and i saw VER in a bmw

was like wait max drives a merc

[torn girder]

Upgrading from a 5800X, so either 7800X3D or 9800X3D would be a good upgrade regardless

(If someone can lmk, is it actually worth getting the 9800X3D over the 7800X3D in the first place)

[sinful cobalt]

No

just grab the 7800

[torn girder]

tbh I just want that 9800 for the x870e

[rich gate]

Is it worth upgrading from a rx 5700 to a 3070 (both 8gb versions)
Gonna cost me like 80 bucks and I can make a profit from the rx 5700

But I think it's worth it cus rx 5700 is Lowkey dead

[torn girder]

luckily local best buy has an ROG X870E for like $200 when the original price was $400

[sinful cobalt]

both are pretty useless in terms of value

best values are the 7800x3d+b650/b850

[torn girder]

should mention, want the x870e for dual gpu

[sinful cobalt]

dual gpu is pretty useless today with modern cards

[torn girder]

7700xt for main, 3070/1070 for lossless scaling/frame gen

[rich gate]

Ello

[torn girder]

go higher, 3080 may be better

[sinful cobalt]

just grab a 3080

[torn girder]

kinda like computers in general, 8gb is bad now

[rich gate]

Hmm I am Lowkey okay with the way 3070 performs at 1440p

Just gotta play at medium-high settings for newer games

[torn girder]

1440p is asking for at least 10gb

[sinful cobalt]

a pretty shit idea icl just use the 7700xt and be happy

[rich gate]

For some games + newer once but I don't play every game that comes out

[sinful cobalt]

if you want to play forza 6 that game wants more than 8gb

[rich gate]

Only with extreme settings

[torn girder]

may be due to the 5800x, but in benchmarks with similar gpu+cpu combos, I seem to be 5-10% lower

[sinful cobalt]

nope

see hwunboxed vram test

[rich gate]

Medium/ultra seems like a constant 60 fps wdym

[sinful cobalt]

the 16gb 60ti shits on the 8gb regardless of vram usage

[rich gate]

Oh yeah probably

[sinful cobalt]

even same scenario where the 8gb isnt maxed its still 20% faster

[rich gate]

The issue is this country is NOT selling and Nvidia card that has more than 10gb for anything on my budget

[sinful cobalt]

rip bozo

[rich gate]

And I am like the top 1 biggest amd hater

[torn girder]

tbh, I'll go to my microcenter for the base 7800x3d bundle and get the motherboard later on. Not expecting to build for a little until I can source a cheat 4tb ssd

[verbal prawn]

sell the 7700xt sell the 3070

get a 4070 ti or something

[sinful cobalt]

sell both and grab a 5070 lmao

[rich gate]

Rx 6800 is there for 160 bucks more but it's got bad ray tracing + no dlss is massive deal breaker

[verbal prawn]

or a 5070

[craggy cove]

7700xt to 4070 is such a sidegrade

[torn girder]

can't, 7700xt's gf birthday gift to me

[verbal prawn]

ti

[verbal prawn]

get a 5070

[rich gate]

Ain't no way rx 7700xt is comparable to 4070

[verbal prawn]

buy the cooler for the 7700xt

put the 7700xt cooler on the 5070

[craggy cove]

what if it is

[torn girder]

tbh I'll buy a used, don't"t wanna give more money to nvidia

[craggy cove]

i saw a pinduoduo review of a 5090 cooler where someone put it on a 750 ti

[craggy cove]

unsure if it was ragebait or not

[verbal prawn]

granted i would much rather have a 4070 then a 7700xt

rtx vsr/hdr my beloved

[torn girder]

price wise the 7700xt vs 4070 is much bigger

[rich gate]

Onggg

[craggy cove]

i got my 7700xt for 240€ and 4070s go for 400€ here

350€ if you're lucky

[rich gate]

How are y'all even using ur amd cards bruh fsr is so buns

[craggy cove]

?

[torn girder]

like 20% performance different dor like 1.5 - 2x the cost

[verbal prawn]

no the fuck it ain't

[torn girder]

who says I'm using fsr?

[rich gate]

What u using son

[craggy cove]

7700xt gets fsr 4.1 in july

[rich gate]

Breh

[craggy cove]

and i dont use it anyway cause i just play cs2

[rich gate]

Rx 7700 xt for cs2?

[craggy cove]

yea

[torn girder]

lowkey wiggling my hips waiting for fsr 4.1

[craggy cove]

1440x1080 cs2 btw

[rich gate]

Aha

I heard it makes a big difference

[torn girder]

wtf kinda aspect ratio is 1440x1080

[verbal prawn]

"2x the cost"

[craggy cove]

bought this card like 2 weeks ago, amazing timing

[verbal prawn]

4:3

[torn girder]

when new?

[craggy cove]

4:3 with the most pixels possible on a 1080p monitor

[verbal prawn]

sir this is 2026

[lunar axle]

Why would you use that aspect ratio

[verbal prawn]

i don't know if you know

[craggy cove]

why would you buy a 7700xt for 400$

[craggy cove]

stretched

[torn girder]

still looking at new pricing, not used

[craggy cove]

these cards arent available new

[verbal prawn]

but trump is the president ukraine is being invaded by russia and lando norris is the current f1 world champion

[shut eagle]

hi there, my partner has a gigabyte 5060ti and the fans are buzzing... anyone got any tips? not coil whine or anything as it doesn't happen if the gpu is specifically under load, but above 2280 RPM or around ~72% of the 100% maximum fan speed

[verbal prawn]

sir this is 2026

[rich gate]

Can someone show me Forza 1440p 8gb vs 16gb like a screenshot I am on data rn

[lunar axle]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-shrug-sad-disappointed-gif-3654380992546976451

[lunar axle]

VRAM?

[rich gate]

Ye

[torn girder]

again... used markets can vary a lot. I was gifted the 7700Xt when it was new for like $400, how much was the 4070 when it released

[lunar axle]

It is depend on the card also

[rich gate]

How about the 3070

[shut eagle]

^^

[rich gate]

No idea

[verbal prawn]

why does the pricewise matter when you bought it

[lunar axle]

Just go on YouTube and search for [card]+[game]+[resolution]

[rich gate]

I don't have data

That's the issue it's only for discord and telegram

[verbal prawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMQj1lVj56U&t=44s

[craggy cove]

if you have the thermal headroom set a fan curve

[rich gate]

Yo my cpu is Lowkey overheating like crazy

[lunar axle]

@rich gate

[craggy cove]

cool it

[verbal prawn]

it's because your running it at 72% rpm

[shut eagle]

sounds like this

[rich gate]

At max load it's like 89C (Ryzen 5 5600)

And soemtimes PC crashed from overheating

[shut eagle]

it is unbearable, RMA?

[verbal prawn]

repaste

[craggy cove]

sounds more like coil whine

[lunar axle]

Some kind of deal with your provider?

[shut eagle]

it's not under load

[verbal prawn]

sounds like coil whine

[verbal prawn]

doesn't matter

[rich gate]

Yeah it's a package

[shut eagle]

is it the fans that cause coil whine?

[verbal prawn]

no

[lunar axle]

Have you tried dusting it out?

[craggy cove]

the vrms on the card

[lunar axle]

Sucks tbh

[craggy cove]

aka nothing you can do

[shut eagle]

it is the fans running at a higher RPM, there is no load at all on it, it was on the desktop, fancontrol was open

[rich gate]

I am using a stock cooler.and this issue was there from the first time I build my PC but now it got a lil worae

[rich gate]

It was ridilcously cheap so I don't mind

[shut eagle]

i'm sure that wouldn't pass QC though... a noise like that?

[craggy cove]

well try to isolate the fan with your finger

[shut eagle]

it has been getting a lot louder recently too

i did that alr, with both

[craggy cove]

(stop the fans one by one)

[verbal prawn]

does your card work? Yes?

They don't care

[craggy cove]

oh so if its really the fans then idk fan curve and seethe

[shut eagle]

i need something that isn't a backhanded reply please :)

[torn girder]

price:performance overall. but idc about that rn, I just wanna figure out the main difference on the 7800x3d vs 9800x3d since im upgrading from a 5800x

[verbal prawn]

thats what they will say

the manufacturers could not give less of a fuck

[rich gate]

Is there a difference between evga f3wt 3070 and a normal 2 fan version

[verbal prawn]

nothing

[shut eagle]

if it was coil whine it would be when the card is under load...

the windows desktop does not use that much gpu i'm sure

[verbal prawn]

you're gpu bound with either

but 15% under ideal conditions

[torn girder]

ngl, push the fan blade in, sometimes they get a little loose. Happened to one of my aio fans and it stopped after I pressed it back in place

[shut eagle]

how hard are you supposed to push

[verbal prawn]

think of it like a desk fan

[torn girder]

not super hard ofc, but just... like pressing a button

[shut eagle]

also, if it's the fans and if the fans aren't working properly, isn't it down to gigabyte to RMA and fix the issue?

[verbal prawn]

techincally yes

[torn girder]

you could also replace the fans itself too

[shut eagle]

we tried that

[shut eagle]

tamper sticker says no :(

[torn girder]

tamper sticker on the shroud?

[craggy cove]

razor blade says yes

[verbal prawn]

tamper sticker is not legally binding in the USA

[shut eagle]

yep!!!

[shut eagle]

i live in the uk

[craggy cove]

just set a fan curve idk what solution you expect here

[torn girder]

hey so... guaranteed that even if you gotta rma it, I bet that by the time you have to, it'll be past the warranty date or lifespan of the card

[shut eagle]

but that's ignoring the problem, not fixing it.

[verbal prawn]

https://www.ifixit.com/News/74736/warranty-void-stickers-are-illegal-in-the-us-what-about-elsewhere

neither in the UK

[torn girder]

it's not detrimental to performance, right?

not a dead fan, nor is it slower than the rest

[craggy cove]

maybe ask the retailer or gigabyte if its rmable but you wont fix it by pouring water on it or something

[shut eagle]

it is detrimental to my partner who uses open-back headphones 😭

even i can hear the GPU through mine and i have closed back dt 770 pros...

[verbal prawn]

if it's a bad bearing you can likely lube it

[shut eagle]

"you won't fix it by pouring water on it or something"

thanks didn't know 👍

[verbal prawn]

did you stop the fans

and did the noise stop

[craggy cove]

its more so like

[shut eagle]

yes, i've tried isolating one by one, the noise didn't stop

[craggy cove]

what the fuck do you want us to do

[shut eagle]

stopping both of them stopped the noise

[shut eagle]

i asked for some advice, not backhanded replies from reddit chuds

[verbal prawn]

my brother in christ

[craggy cove]

gets advice, rejects all of it

[verbal prawn]

you come here to ask for help

[craggy cove]

genius?

[verbal prawn]

we aren't being paid to be nice to you

[craggy cove]

but the advice isnt a perfect fix that doesnt exist !!!!

[torn girder]

ngl... just give me the card

[shut eagle]

i have only said i've tried the things people have suggested

[verbal prawn]

well you're only options

[craggy cove]

literally what kind of fix do you expect here

[torn girder]

I got iems, I can ignore the buzz

[verbal prawn]

are to rma it and likely get bent over and fucked because they don't care

or try and fix it yourself

you can either replace the fan

or try and lube the bearing

[shut eagle]

thing is, you said you were giving advice yet coil whine wasn't the issue because the card was not under load, and you are also asking me to take apart a card that i really do not want to void the warranty for 😭 i don't know why people act so high and mighty over other people's stuff, wanting to take care of things isn't exactly a bad thing yk

and then you won't admit where you're wrong because i'm being treated like crap for asking a question 💀

[sinful cobalt]

unless the coil whine is a major issue being loud af they wont accept the rma

if its still in the return window then return it

[shut eagle]

it isn't coil whine, i've explained it multiple times

[verbal prawn]

coil whine can happen while not under load, but it seems like thats not the issue

[sinful cobalt]

what is it then

[verbal prawn]

it is also much more common then bad bearing

[verbal prawn]

he has 2 bad fan bearings

[sinful cobalt]

skill issue LMAO

what brand

[shut eagle]

gigabyte

[verbal prawn]

yeah your getting fucked

gigabyte sucks

[shut eagle]

are they that bad??? 😭

[verbal prawn]

well people don't call them gigashit for no reason

[sinful cobalt]

thats a skill issue Ive had 3 gigglebutt cards

not large sample but LMAO

[shut eagle]

that fucking sucks bruh

[sinful cobalt]

yeah because you killed him

[shut eagle]

a skill issue of gigabyte i'm assuming

[shut eagle]

yeah, emailing them anyway but if nothing happens then nothing happens

Currently i have a ryzen 3600 and rtx 3070 founders edition but a 450 watt. Psu is this gonna limit my build?

[drifting wagon]

nah i prob had like a virus or smt

[lunar axle]

Not logging into some websites, they use your token to log in. The token is what is keeping you logged in so turning of remember me on websites could help

[craggy cove]

reinstall windows atp

[drifting wagon]

already did but they most likely have all of my cockies and tokens

they tried to put my card into their apple walet

[lunar axle]

New item coming soon so I expect that they want to clear out the older model in order to sell m5 pro etc

[drifting wagon]

bc i got my card on autofill

[crimson temple]

isnt this the new item?

i think its pre order rn

[native path]

request a new card ?

[lunar axle]

It says on apples website that pro and max are new but not normal m5, think the m5 was released in October and the pro/max version of the chip was released with this in march https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/apple-debuts-m5-pro-and-m5-max-to-supercharge-the-most-demanding-pro-workflows/

[lunar axle]

You should cancel your card now

[crimson temple]

BH kinda confusing

M5 pro and max separate

[drifting wagon]

bro to get new card cost more than i have

[lunar axle]

Yeah, apple still sells normal m5 so it isn’t that outdated or something

[lunar axle]

Why do they charge you for it

[crimson temple]

kind of interested in waiting for the new macbook with oled

[drifting wagon]

they dont but i have to show some documantation that they sold my card

hire a lawyer

[native path]

sounds like theres nothing for them to rob

[lunar axle]

What kind of third world thing, I either call up my bank or cancel it in the app. Then they send out a new card and I can use Apple Pay or google pay with the new card without having the new

[drifting wagon]

yeah slovakia is a joke

[crimson temple]

no bank app to cancel card?

[drifting wagon]

if i cancel it i wont have it for 3 weks

i can

[true stirrup]

Worth canceling it

[drifting wagon]

i get paid like in a week i wait for it get all the money out of the acc

and then

i cancel it

[crimson temple]

[restive plinth]

They're dependent on the file type and apps you use. The third party apps can use that space to add their own integrations. I hope they give a way to turn it off easily but it's actually useful in many cases.

Ii reseted the bio w the cmos removal and put it back in and then I had a ssd with windows 11 completely working on it (someone downloaded it for me) and then I went into the bios setup and turned tpm firmware on turned fast boot and f1 when error off and turned the sata mode selection to ahci and changed the date to current and then I pressed f10 and exited (there is only 1 Bootable drive which is the ssd) and now it's tryna boot i think 😭✌️ the monitor keyboard and mouse are all off rn

And the processor is working been like this for 10 mins

give it time

[hollow ledge]

I have a 1080 (not Ti) and have 3 monitors, one of which is connected to the DP port. The one in the DP port isn't working. I've tried everything, only that one monitor - drivers are up to date - and yes, I also downloaded that Nvidia DP software. But still nothing.

[stray portal]

Bro what the hell

[lethal granite]

hey guys i have rtx 4060, r5 5600 and 16 gb ram 3200mhz one stick. im getting really low fps on fh6. im supposed to get 70+ fps on ultra+rt but im getting 25 and my cpu temp is like over 90+ when playing forza and cpu usage is almost 100%

[ionic ember]

swap cables between monitors and see if the problem follows the cable

[ionic ember]

it's your ram configuration, it needs dual channel, you need a second stick

[sinful cobalt]

thats only really gonna bag him like 10 FPS max

[ionic ember]

you'd be surprised, ryzen absolutely despises single channel memory

as for the cpu temps though, gonna need a better cooler

[sinful cobalt]

Im not sure on “ultra” but this is extreme on a 9800x3d

literally at the bottom of the charts

[ionic ember]

that's some optimization for sure

[sinful cobalt]

Im surprised its even fighting for 30 FPS considering how taxxing RT is for a card of its caliber

[bold olive]

a mobile gpu is faster than my fucking desktop gpu???

jk

i keep stereotyping that arc gpus are mobile gpus for some reason

cant tell between desktop and mobile gpus

[lethal granite]

alr im ordering another 16 gb and DeepCool AG400 cooler rn

I temporarily connected it to my laptop and the whole setup worked there.

[gaunt spade]

70+ on ultra rt hell naaa

[gaunt spade]

it runs out of vram

i dont think you need rt in that game

just play extreme preset with textures and geometry on high

and whatever upscaling and fg you want

[gaunt spade]

vram

[gaunt spade]

only a handfull of them

does this mean the nvme is bad or just windows is screwed ? Like it shows up in bios but doesn't boot now and restarts and goes to bios only

i already solved the problem, somehow the game switched the frame limit setting to 20 fps from the unlimited i set it to before i installed my new card

i know it was unlimited because i ran a benchmark with my 3070 and got over 30 fps

it was the most easy solution but it just didn't make sense for the setting to just change

can a core 2 duo e7500 support 1x8gb ddr3 ram? i may have messed up picking out a ram stick before doing prior research

[haughty onyx]

Hi

[clear canyon]

Why are you running a core 2 duo in 2026? 😭

[haughty onyx]

new in server wanted some suggestions for new laptop so i am in 2nd year of my uni and will be doing development work and also will be learning ml these are my 2 requirements and also want good battery life so bit inclined toward macbook suggest me which mac i should go with

[pliant shuttle]

trying to upgrade one of the computers at my local church bc it only had 1x2gb 🙏 my personal laptop is running an i7-4710hq dw

[clear canyon]

It should be able to

[pliant shuttle]

if the e7500 isnt compatible with a 1x8gb then damn i hope their other pc running a celeron g440 can take it instead

[clear canyon]

Depends on the OS, if its 32bit then its limited to like 4 or 8gigs of ram

[pliant shuttle]

cause no way in hell i can tell them with a straight face "yo i bought the wrong ram stick and its completely unusable but can yall still pay me anyway"

[steel umbra]

sounds fake

(no reason)

[pliant shuttle]

core 2 duo pc is running a 64bit os, but as for the celeron g440 pc i have no idea

[clear canyon]

Explode enragement child

[pliant shuttle]

also yeah 32bit is capped to 4gb, not 8gb

[clear canyon]

Core 2 duo is better than the celeron

[steel umbra]

only if you give me $500

[pliant shuttle]

yeah but the celeron is newer

[clear canyon]

[Gives $-500]

[clear canyon]

Far slower tho

1 core 1 thread

[steel umbra]

turns out i'm a debt collecting bank, now you owe me $1k

[pliant shuttle]

still better to give the 8gb to the celeron than having the core 2 duo run 2gb with the brand new 8gb stick i bought collecting dust in a shelf

[clear canyon]

After a quick google search, the core 2 duo can support a max of 2x4gb sticks

[steel umbra]

slow.

https://tenor.com/view/nah-id-win-bacon-talk-meme-ai-gif-18423889256405792069

[pliant shuttle]

i mean worst case scenario is just that the ram doesnt get detected during POST right

also if the celeron g440 pc IS running a 32bit os, would the 8GB ram stick (if it is compatible with the cpu and motherboard chipset) just have 4GB usable or would it be completely unusable

[steel umbra]

yes

[clear canyon]

Refund the stick

[pliant shuttle]

see thing is im stupid and i already broke the anti tamper seal on the plastic enclosure to inspect the ram stick

[steel umbra]

but no actually the worst case scenario that could happen is you accidentally drop the stick, you slip on the stick and then your whole bloc catches fire and you get sued for $99999999

[clear canyon]

Break the stick in half to make it a 2x4gb sticks

[pliant shuttle]

so im not sure i can still refund it

[pliant shuttle]

online

[steel umbra]

how many days passed? and which country?

which retailer

[formal sonnet]

Depends entirely on the return policy of the store you bought this from. Some items are "no refunds once it's open" while others can be returned so long as you have the original packaging and the item is in working condition. Check the retailers terms and conditions.

[pliant shuttle]

just arrived today, indonesia, shopee

[pliant shuttle]

yep tryinna find the retailers t&c rn

[steel umbra]

yeah i don't know about indonesia

it's going to be up to the retailer

[formal sonnet]

I'd help look but Shopee won't even let me load the site if I don't have an account. Smells like a Temu / AliExpress marketplace, so it's likely up to the individual seller / store.

[pliant shuttle]

cant find much besides that delivery fees is on the buyer in cases of returns / swaps

oh well

ill just try and see tomorrow whether or not ill try returning this 8gb stick

[steel umbra]

i've bought headphones from retailer's marketplace they broke (plastic snapped with not so regular use) and when i sent them the issue they told me that they know their product and that it doesn't happen to those headphones

so no repair or refund, i had to use glue for plastics

[formal sonnet]

"There's no way our [cheaply made of brittle plastic] device could have broken [if you left them on a shelf and never used them] so we cannot help you!"

[pliant shuttle]

or actually depending on the motherboard and psu of that celeron g440 pc, maybe i could just dump like $8 or so on an i3-3220 or something

[steel umbra]

yeah it was the kind of plastic that chips easily when you use the sliding mechanism

[pliant shuttle]

or just any other (prefferably cheapest) LGA1155 intel chip with a TDP of around 35W that supports 1x8gb DDR3 ram and is atleast still better than the celeron g440

oh nope actually i just remembered the celeron g440 is running the 32bit version of windows 7 ultimate

@iron glen or if you get that other one running, you could port it and get some more power

Its super easy for a 2 stroke

[iron glen]

Thats scary

How do i know if i ported it enough

[clear canyon]

You just remove about 1-2mm, there is videos on yt to show you what to look for

[copper bronze]

i unfrotunately have to use my 5600x on eco mode beacuse otherwise it gets commonly above 95 degress(i have stock cooler). how much more prerfomance could i expect if i get a aftermarket cooler. My gpu is 9060xt 16gb and i hgave 32gb ram

[stark flicker]

It's not because of the stock cooler, you probably have the thermal paste applied badly

[cloud blaze]

Why do people run 9800x3d's and shi with a 5070 when people have told me a 7600x is enough?

[stark flicker]

Because enough is a fuzzy word

[cloud blaze]

Is will work good tho yeah?

[stark flicker]

Cpu performance is simple
95% of cases you won't see any difference between high end and mid range cpu, but when you do see the difference it is important

[stark flicker]

What will be your monitor?

[calm idol]

it will work with either but a 9800x3d would be better for highfps titles like cs, valo, siege while a 7600x would be enough for most singleplayer titles

[cloud blaze]

Not 100% sure yet but probably a 1440p 144hz

[limber nacelle]

because it might be good for the kinds of games they play?

if you only play comp shooters, you're probably cpu bound anyways so

that sort of setup would be ideal for them, no?

[cloud blaze]

So a 7600x will be best for me because i mainly play singleplayer story games and occasionally some multiplayer games with my friends

[stark flicker]

OK yeah don't go with less than that in resolution and please do buy an oled if you can afford it

Like if you have money for the 9800x3d, put it on an oled 1440p instead of the cpu

If you can't at least take a miniled
A good monitor is the single most important thing

[limber nacelle]

literally just depends on what people do 🤷

[cloud blaze]

Okay do you have a reccomendation for a monitor?

[stark flicker]

It's not just single vs multi player games

It just depends on the game

Like right now I'm playing mh wilds, I am cpu limited, but this game is absolute garbage lol

[limber nacelle]

but i would agree, a good monitor is such a game changer for everyone that doesn't care about maximizing performance for comp games

[cloud blaze]

I run like fallout and shi

[stark flicker]

Whatever they do not having a piss grey monitor will help

[stark flicker]

As said, in 95% of games you won't see a difference

[calm idol]

if youd rather spend or save the money elsewhere, yeah

[clear canyon]

Bc some ppl want more fps in cpu heavy games.

[stark flicker]

Like if you have the money go for a good cpu, but it's usually better to get a better monitor / gpu than a higher end cpu

[clear canyon]

I run a 7800x3d with my 4080

[cloud blaze]

Yeah i do wanna end up with a 5070 because its my favorite card

And its all ill need for many years to come

[stark flicker]

I have a 12600kf with my 5080

And yeah, it's sometimes not enough, but most of the time it does the job fairly well

[cloud blaze]

As i play mainly 10+ year old ganes

[mental shoal]

Pc keeps crashing then going to black screen then freezes and I just here buzzing in headset been happening for months it’s when I’m on games anyone help?

Yeah then an oled monitor will be the single best thing to buy, it will make those older games look so much better than a few fps you won't see 😉

thats why im asking here

[flat cliff]

My uncle who is very not tech savvy enough to setup home assistant or any of that jazz is looking at a smart doorbell. My mom tried to tell him, just get ring but with all I've heard I wanna get him something else...what exact do I even tell him to get? We have a Google one but...something something, battery something my mom doesn't exactly like it and says it dies a lot but she also charges it on a slow 5v1a phone charger sometimes overnight and then plugs it in 6-12 hours later...so he is android and google but idk if I can just tell him get that one because he also listens to what my mom does say as well.

TLDR good video doorbell for someone very not tech savvy enough for setting up home assistant themselves that isn't the lets spy on you with bad security that I've headed from ring? Any recommendations?

[stark flicker]

Woah can you not make a big wall of text

[flat cliff]

I added a TLDR.

[gilded harness]

that was fun

Unfortunately this case is ass at cable management

[clear oasis]

the case... or you xD

[glass bay]

anyone here who knows some shi about wifi routers and stuff? :)

[formal sonnet]

#networking is a great place to ask questions about such things.

[glass bay]

kinda thought so, but maybe people aint checking that chat as much as tech chat idk
i asked there too

[eternal cloak]

It's like 3 verses of text, bruh

[eternal cloak]

You're probably better off getting a Ring anyway. Any smart doorbell has the risk of spying on you and everybody is familiar with Ring. Helps a lot in case you have a break-in as well as law enforcement are familiar with Ring and the system.

[flat cliff]

Isn't ring the one that's the most lets have tracking for all and the least secure anyways?

[gaunt spade]

cpu dying

[eternal cloak]

Probably not, ngl
I'd rather go with Ring and give the employees that may watch you a middle finger while you walk out than get some Chinese shit

[empty quartz]

Heyo

[eternal cloak]

Then again, ignoring privacy and all, I'm pretty sure Ring requires a subscription? That kinda sucks ass ngl

[empty quartz]

Sleepy boy

[flat cliff]

Ring is Chinese

[eternal cloak]

?
No

Ring is owned by Amazon lmao

[flat cliff]

Yeah that to I wanna get away from recommending.

[eternal cloak]

The videos are also stored on AWS servers

[sleek ibex]

[eternal cloak]

Then uhh, if you have Google Home already anyway, Google Nest (still subscription ig), if no subscription and local storage probably the Eufy E340 and Aqara G410, which store video on SD cards

[flat cliff]

Idk all I remember is hearing nothing about them for a long while until that super bowl ad that made EVERYONE hate them again.

[eternal cloak]

But still, I'd personally just try go with an American company, Aqara and Eufy are both Chinese companies

[flat cliff]

I mean how simple are they? I'd just do whatever stores locally but I'm the kinda guy that spends 4 hours on home assistant and not running a laptop from 2017 as my main computer because it still works so of its not broken...that's my uncle his phone (s22 I think?) Is maybe even as powerful. But he spend a lot of money when he got the laptop so there is that at least.

[gilded harness]

probably me but i could barely cable manage with this one, its too tight lol

i might need modular sfx…

[flat cliff]

With all the security vulnerability and the let's track everyone and the let's be a subscription anyways I do wish there was something else to recommend.

But if I gotta I gotta

[gilded harness]

nah its only 12100f lol

I might get 14600k in the future maybe… but this h510m wouldnt hold it

[gaunt spade]

has to be h610

[gilded harness]

Oh yeah h610m mb

Never buying an "open box" item again at best buy

Keep in mind this said it was in "excellent condition" on the sticker and nothing wrong testes by geek squad.

So is there any Xbox elite alternative with back buttons i can buy?

[glad delta]

why is it that some games i had played on windows 10 work FLAWLESS ON IT but when i finally switched to win11 i try to just launch a game and it craps the whole pc like i used to launch valorant/cs2 with like discord chrome and alot of stuff open now i cant even have discord open just to open valorant because the whole pc crashes

[supple basin]

Probably bad install, id do a fresh install and update to 11 before getting anything else
@glad delta

[glad delta]

i mean i did the normal upgrade to win11 from windows 10 would that cause problems?

[supple basin]

Only if something went wrong

[glad delta]

aight thx

pretty sure it's the same panel as the samsung g50sf

[formal sonnet]

Those are more than 2K resolution - if you must refer to it by #K they're 2.5K monitors. Pretty nice ones too... QD-OLED panels running a resolution of 1440@240Hz, with Variable Refresh Rate, too.

[jaunty apex]

I know not necessarily the same thing but if you don't want a different controller altogether you can take it somewhere with some TMR joysticks to get them installed. Can understand if you don't wanna bother though. Other controllers have TMR like some of the ones already listed. https://www.amazon.com/GuliKit-Joystick-Replacement-Xbox-Controller/dp/B0DQ8SGRNW

Doubt best buy would do it but no idea.

[eternal leaf]

hey guys

Im pretty handy so I dont mind doing it myself, just sucks out of box, it came broken, tho like I said, I bought an "open box" model meaning it was used so who knows, maybe a brand new one will be fine

First time doing dual OS

on my new laptop

[glossy veldt]

my first time ended in wiping my hdd from 2016-2022/2023

[sharp ivy]

aw

[glossy veldt]

fun times

i had mostly games

[sharp ivy]

I already wiped this laptop

reinstalled windows

[glossy veldt]

the hdd is still pushing strong

[sharp ivy]

always good

this laptop's HDD is still going good

but I guess cause it was unused for 10 years

and it's only from 2007 so not actually that old

still it is a laptop HDD

[frosty cove]

Some kinda Hitachi or?

[sharp ivy]

Indeed

[frosty cove]

Prem, who else lasts that much

Got some 2012 1T hgst's, also still strong. One from 2015, still ok too :)

They're mostly being used to store cold for me, so they just sit for a month with properly one or two hour operation in average I guess

[glossy veldt]

my oldest working hdd is from 2004 and it currently is sitting inside a compaq presario m2000

[sharp ivy]

My oldest known working HDD is inside my 2003 Sony Vaio

it's the original

[glossy veldt]

vaio is always good

all my frllas love vaio

anyways here's the inside of the intake of my 110cc scooter

[sharp ivy]

we got 2x the Vaio for 2x the fun

[snow mauve]

[sharp ivy]

[snow mauve]

i remember vlb always being that middle one i never remember anybody actually having a vlb card

was either isa or old pci. yet you always saw that vlb slot

[sharp ivy]

I have one of those 40 pin IDE Flash Modules (Disc On Module) drives in the primary channel with the NEC Disc Changer in the secondary. Also I do have an ATX unit with an ATX to AT power adapter here and it's not the easiest thing to cable management a non-modular unit in this case

Can anyone help me out with putting together a build. Im in the US and have a microcenter near me so want to just get everything from there. Gonna be using the pc for gaming only really. Budget is around 1400$ USD max. Already have peripherals and monitor so all the budget is just for the pc.

[snow mauve]

gpu is going to be your biggest hangup, and everything has gone up. microcenter has hit or miss sales though you could take advantage of. but you're not gonna run AAA games max with 1400 just so you temper expectations

[formal sonnet]

I'd begin by experimenting with their online PC builder https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx

If you're open to buying from other suppliers than just Microcenter, https://pcpartpicker.com/ is another great place to start.
