[tall sandal]

Likely could be the case ngl

[tall sandal]

Ahh

[high elm]

haswell my goat

[hexed tapir]

Why not upgrade to a i3 12100f

[tidal geyser]

im out here not wanting a 14900hx since its too old

[hexed tapir]

And it's not panther lake

[hexed tapir]

[high elm]

ive blown up 7-8 13900K/14900K’s

[tidal geyser]

iv given up, im just gonna get some 5070 ti or 4080 laptop

[tall sandal]

So you looking into this?

[high elm]

lowkey kinda tired of lga1700

[median warren]

Why and how

[viscid jewel]

idk whats going on

[median warren]

I have a 14700k and I haven't blew it up

[tall sandal]

man rip I returned my laptop. Now for the summer nothing to travel with

It was running so hot man

[tidal geyser]

why i prefer laptops

[high elm]

my asus board blasted voltage

[median warren]

Yeah it's a laptop

[tall sandal]

Mine was insane temps

[median warren]

Ofc it's gonna be running hot

[tidal geyser]

get one that does not do that

[tall sandal]

And I saw reviews getting the same too, wasn’t just me

[median warren]

Is that not something you could change in the bios

[tall sandal]

It had very poor design

[hexed tapir]

After 2 cpus why didn't you stop

[tidal geyser]

so why did you buy it

[high elm]

im also guilty of over volting the cpu

[median warren]

Ah so it's user error as well

[tidal geyser]

if you knew it had issues why buy it

[tall sandal]

Cuz like it happens in certain situations

[high elm]

lmao i actually bought the cpu flr $350 intel refunded me $750

[tall sandal]

Which not all reviews showed it at first

[high elm]

i was chasing a refund XD

[tall sandal]

Man I really didn’t do research

And I paid the price for that.

So yea, that was dumb of me

[tidal geyser]

you are in a discord server made to help ya

[tall sandal]

but ASUS kinda sucks still tbh

[tidal geyser]

nope

asus makes some of the best laptops

[high elm]

asus warranty sucks i blew up 5 Z790’s

[tidal geyser]

but as with most brands also worst

[tall sandal]

idk in other laptop servers they said ASUS gaming laptops worst

They have issues with cooling

[hexed tapir]

Excuse me?!

[tidal geyser]

the cheap shitty ones like with most others

[high elm]

asus literally gave me a board with defective NVME slots

[tall sandal]

Yea mine was ASUS TUF

[high elm]

yea one died cuz i spilled coke on it

[hexed tapir]

...

[tall sandal]

@high elm how did your 13th and 14th gen CPUs die?

[hexed tapir]

A terrible hot death

[high elm]

^

[tall sandal]

Ahh I see

[high elm]

vccsa over volt lmao

[tall sandal]

and with all the intel issues makes sense

[high elm]

killed the imc

[tidal geyser]

the cheapest lenovo laptop with over 8GB vram costs 2500$ in Norway

[high elm]

died a horrible hot death

[viscid jewel]

Someone else running the game at 1440p with a 4080 super dlaa

Why is my fps so unexplainably low im crine

[tidal geyser]

since you maxed out your settings

[high elm]

wait im gonna run the benchmark

[viscid jewel]

SO DID THEY omg

I should be getting 15-20 more fps at identical settings

[high elm]

im gonna try the benchmark

if my cpu from 2014 scores better lmao

and my 4080 is the original one

[viscid jewel]

I'm getting the same fps as a 4070

[tall sandal]

guys I’m cooked

Forza horizon 6 crashed randomly. I was playing for days and nothing

man is something up with my brand new pc.

[tidal geyser]

what temp is the gpu during the benchmark?

[viscid jewel]

What I'm about to check

[high elm]

lmao

[tidal geyser]

also give a full screen screenshot whowhatwhen

[viscid jewel]

had to restart my pc steam crashed

pre benchmark gpu statistics

[fringe prairie]

i bought a legion

[tidal geyser]

i would buy a legion but im seeing a msi vector with a 5070 ti and 255HX for 1700$ vs the legion with the same cpu and gpu but 2500$

IPS vs OLED, aaaahhh such a pain

[hexed tapir]

you should buy a Google cloud subscription

[fringe prairie]

i tried the ips and oled legions at microcenter and figured it was worth paying a bit more for oled

[steel umbra]

does this one use AI technology to break physics?

[hexed tapir]

Magnets

[tidal geyser]

aaahhh i know but like aaahhhhhhh

[viscid jewel]

my wattage is only 150... hmm

bad psu maybe? ill check my cables

[tidal geyser]

what gpu and show me your afterburner

[viscid jewel]

I cant open afterburner while forza is running it crashes

[steel umbra]

so you need to refill it with liquid helium?

[tidal geyser]

not a thing, cables or psu does not change how much power the gpu can draw

[fringe prairie]

i wish lenovo put the 5070ti in the legion 7. 8gb vram for $2000 is insane to me

[steel umbra]

uhh actually liquid helium wouldn't save it

[high elm]

i get 2 fps more than you so

and i have the same gpu

same settings

[tidal geyser]

yea it costs way too much, think im going for the acer predator
"Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI 16” OLED 165 Hz med RTX 5070 Ti"

got a oled amd so on

[oblique shoal]

how cana 5070ti fit in there

[viscid jewel]

your cpu is much older and would be limiting your gpu by a lot

[tidal geyser]

its a 16 inch laptop

[high elm]

yea

[oblique shoal]

I think a 5070ti is a bit bigger t han 16inches

[tall sandal]

guys forza horizon 6 crashed, this is the log

Someone help, Please guys

[tulip sparrow]

DISCORD IS NOT GOOGLE

[tall sandal]

I asked

[oblique shoal]

Chatgpt

[tall sandal]

but its ai

[tidal geyser]

this is a 5070 ti

[hexed tapir]

We don't work for forza

[tall sandal]

I dont trust ai, ppl said its bad

[tidal geyser]

its the size of a cookie

[oblique shoal]

Oh then why we making the 5070ti so big in pcs

[tidal geyser]

if you do not know what you are doing

[tidal geyser]

looks but also well cooling

also the desktop and mobile 5070 ti are different chips

[oblique shoal]

GPU'S are black magic tbh

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure that's been the case for at least a decade if not longer at this point

[oblique shoal]

My 5070ti is arriving in 2 days

[hexed tapir]

And magnets

[oblique shoal]

Have to agree they dont make any sense

[fathom ridge]

Hey guys, what fans can you recommend me? I know the fact that P12 Pros (Im in a group of actic glazers) are lowk the best but I love the edges on fans like Lian Lis or specifcally Deepcools F12 SEs.. I could need some recommendations that have good performance and minimalstically rgb and a medium price

[hexed tapir]

I'm an artic fan

[fathom ridge]

I wanted to buy Lian Lis CLs or AL V2s but I got told they are too pricey and have an awful performance

[fringe prairie]

it’s a 5070ti mobile

not an actual 5070ti lol

[fathom ridge]

Me too if I see the technical sheet but I just hate their appearance

[tulip sparrow]

The 5090 pcb isn't actually that big its the cooler thats huge

[stray portal]

[tidal geyser]

show after burner

[hexed tapir]

Great thing you look at your monitor 99% of the time

[fringe prairie]

it’s a nice laptop but the cpu is limited to 25W. battery life is also mid af

i wish they had just put arrow lake h in it instead lol

[viscid jewel]

I just use afterburner for rivatuner

[tidal geyser]

uh

[stray portal]

Googtuner

[tidal geyser]

this is meant to be 100

you have been comparing a 150w 4080 to like 300w

xd

[viscid jewel]

I never changed that

[rose stream]

Asking in the wrong place for help.
Use an actual search engine to look this up. More than likely one of the forums around games and such might have something on it about this error. Best to look up each code in those screenshots for Forza Horizon 6 and see what hooks.

[tidal geyser]

its not that by default

[fathom ridge]

Yeah well I have an open fishtank so I see it the whole time...

[tidal geyser]

put it back to 100 and see how your performance is now

[fathom ridge]

Thats not a good argument point for people who are not even 1 meter apart from their PC.

[tidal geyser]

why would i care about the computing box, all it does is computing

its a tool to compute

not art

[tired bear]

they have a dongle integrated lol

[viscid jewel]

same

[tidal geyser]

did you click the checkmark?

[viscid jewel]

oh oops

[tidal geyser]

still cool

[viscid jewel]

HEYYYY

it works omg thanks

I have no idea why that was limited I genuinely have never messed with overclocking settings

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-vibe-gif-19854939

i thought it was gonna be a case of overheating hotspot

[timber wren]

goodnight everyone

[tidal geyser]

but when i saw 150w i knew why

[rose stream]

It could be... For those that for whatever reason give more a damn than they should. Lol.

[tidal geyser]

i also knew something was fcky when i saw afterburner in taskmanager

[viscid jewel]

its closer to 73fps but I kept alt tabbing

[viscid jewel]

I normally quit afterburner when running the game as it caused ctds

fh5 it was a blocked program

[stray portal]

Why do people use afterburner i just use normal stuff

[high elm]

dang time for me to get a new cpu

waiting for nova lake

[viscid jewel]

Yeah when I got my 4080 I had an i9 10900 and my fps was half of what it is now

i9 10900 was such a disappointing cpu

[high elm]

u sold it?

[viscid jewel]

Gave it to my brother when his 5600g died

[high elm]

its still worth alot today

esp in china

[tidal geyser]

its worth like 200$

[high elm]

bulk electronics buyers buy each one for ~$250

[viscid jewel]

My brother needed it 🤷‍♀️

[high elm]

the non k non f variants are the most lucrative

[tidal geyser]

well i bought a 10900 and z590 kit for like 200

what why

[viscid jewel]

His 5600g died after he was using his pc during a storm like an idiot

(aka he owes me big time)

[high elm]

cuz they want stability K cpus might have been degraded by the people that had them

F cpus just suck for diagnostics

[stray portal]

Does american storm cause electronics to explode

[high elm]

having an igpu is a plus anyway

[viscid jewel]

I'm australian, just have a messed up sleep schedule

But thank you so much with the help, I was gaslighting myself so hard about why my game was seemingly not running as well as I was expecting

[stray portal]

Then how did it get destroyed

Ive shut off my pc improperly many times it never got exploded

[viscid jewel]

He was using it....

He didn't switch it off or unplug it

[high elm]

u should sell the 10900 while you still can

[viscid jewel]

Autism fixation on whatever he was doing :/

[high elm]

theyre worth more than a 14900KF

[tulip sparrow]

I use a UPS for a reason

[rose stream]

Eeehhh varies.

[viscid jewel]

We have surge protectors something on the motherboard likely died but we didn't have a spare around to test so I just gave him my old cpu mobo ram

[tulip sparrow]

If lightning strikes the house yeah it can cause things to die

[rose stream]

I know even with proper protections in place, some oddball stuff sometimes might happen.

[viscid jewel]

It might have been a coincidence that it died at the same time as nothing else was damaged in his pc

[tulip sparrow]

power through ethernet for example

[rose stream]

Once we had a thunderstorm, don't know where the lightning landed, but somehow our previous tv, a uhd bluray player we had recently bought at the time, my recieving-end powerline ethernet adapter, and our previous modem box from our ISP all got fried, despite all being spread across multiple surge protectors. The only thing on that whole string to somehow survive was our landline phone.

... Which we almost never use. Lol.

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Edar5tpGIfI

[rose stream]

It was actually... Really confusing too how it was even possible.

[rose stream]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-wat-wide-eyes-steve-harvey-gif-8053516

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah

[viscid jewel]

Anyway I feel like an idiot but I would have figured it out sooner or later

[rose stream]

One running theory was that it had to do with telephone line... But then that only hooked up to the modem, sooo it didn't entirely make sense if it jumped somehow or not through the ethernet cables.

[viscid jewel]

If I had been messing around with afterburner settings I would have been onto it sooner but genuinely I dont use it because overclocking scares me

[rose stream]

We thought it could've been the tv antenna's plug-in amp... But it wasn't clear if sending power up through it's adapter was a logical possibility and if it would've bypassed the surge protector(s) anyway.

Even more strangely, those strips and protectors were still functional, working as intended.

[pulsar root]

5060Ti 16GB or 5070 12 GB

[empty quartz]

5070

[rose stream]

So... Yeah...
Unsolved bizarre case of landline phone being an only survivor in the tv cabinet, after a thunderstorm.

[rose stream]

5070

[tidal geyser]

what are your current specs

[iron glen]

Hi sim

[pulsar root]

I currently have a 5060 8gb but I was wondering what people think would be better since one has more vram but the other is probably a better card

[vagrant pewter]

i need tips for what i can/will do with a dell latitude from like 2012/2011

[viscid jewel]

Thanks to the LTT discord I upgraded from a 4070 to a 4080 for free

I downloaded a 4080

[tidal geyser]

hello

[tidal geyser]

sell

turn into server

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

[pulsar root]

i7 265

Man my computer has been having weird issue lately

And I only bought it in like November

[vagrant pewter]

seems like even with 6GB ram and a 256GB HDD it can run windows 7 fine. thats what im currectly on

[modern walrus]

[steel umbra]

wait, 14900kf costs less than 180?

[viscid jewel]

I want a 5090 but my wallet says "no you can't work because your legs don't work"

[tidal geyser]

they set their 4080 to 46% on the wattage thing in after burner

[viscid jewel]

I didn't set it... I have never touched anything in that program

I only use rivatuner

[tidal geyser]

get some tux in your life

[tidal geyser]

it did not do that by itself now,

it did not grow legs and lower itself down

[vagrant pewter]

as in supertux?

[tidal geyser]

linux

[viscid jewel]

I have never done anything in msi afterburner.

I only use it to control rivatuner like I said before.

[vagrant pewter]

ah. i have cachyos on my pc, so i might load it here too

[tidal geyser]

cough, cachyos you say. heard about that distro what do you think about it?

[vagrant pewter]

pretty nice. built in package manager, so its like an appstore

very optimised, and looks good

but its linux, you can change how it looks

still, as my first linux OS after like 5 years of windows its pretty nice

and the proton support is almost top notch

also, built in custom(maybe) nvidia drivers

[tidal geyser]

got anything you wish was added to cachy or could be improved?

[vagrant pewter]

not that i can think of yet

[glossy veldt]

the shringle

[vagrant pewter]

pc psu is blown, so cant go check what i want/need

[glossy veldt]

how blown

like kaboom kaboom or just fire

[vagrant pewter]

like just burnt out. was old ig

i mean stopped working without fire luckily

[glossy veldt]

molex to 8 pin + generic psu + gtx 980 what could go wrong

[vagrant pewter]

6pin to diy 6+2 and 2x molex to 6pin for 8pin + 6pin gtx 1070

[glossy veldt]

ykw

[vagrant pewter]

on 400W psu

[glossy veldt]

im buying an hp oem 1070 for a classmate

[ivory mountain]

son 😭

[vagrant pewter]

im surprised it held the 3months i had the 1070

[glossy veldt]

its at 100.000 Argentine peso or about 70 bucks

[vagrant pewter]

why oem? there is way better out there

oh, nice

[glossy veldt]

the better ones are at double the price

the guy listed it as a gtx 970

but look closely

[vagrant pewter]

his loss ig

nice snipe

did you tell him?

[glossy veldt]

does that look like a gtx 970?

[tidal geyser]

shush

[glossy veldt]

sorry but we need the gpu to play sons of the forest

[vagrant pewter]

looks like my 1070, obv

[glossy veldt]

it's not like a 1070 is worth that much more

[vagrant pewter]

its like way better

[glossy veldt]

yeah but its alr old

[vagrant pewter]

yea

[glossy veldt]

and 70 bucks is fair

[steep raptor]

it looks so banged up

omg

[vagrant pewter]

driver support stopped for the 1070 about a month ago

[glossy veldt]

it doesn't matter my classmate has a 1050 ti rn

my homie upgrading to a 1070

[vagrant pewter]

oh damn. get him upgraded

[glossy veldt]

the point is he's gonna give the 1050 ti to our another homie who rn has an a8 9600

[vagrant pewter]

btw, my 1070 had vram degradation, but it seems fine now

[glossy veldt]

and then we all can play sons of the forest

we would give the a8 9600 a 1070 but lets be honest it aint gon be much better than just having a 1050 ti

[tidal geyser]

i am in such a pickle, i wanna get a gaming laptop before the weekend but nobody im messaging are reading their messages

[viscid jewel]

I'm tempted to sell my 4080 and get a 5080

[tidal geyser]

i would just not max mad the settings

you can also max out your power thing in after burner

[viscid jewel]

I'm using the NVIDIA automatic overclocking thing

I don't want to void my warranty

[tidal geyser]

it does nothing and is horrible

[tidal geyser]

how would they know you used afterburner

[empty quartz]

Some guy at whale lan was willing to give me $40 cad to stop using microsoft edge yesterday

[vagrant pewter]

yea you can go pretty hard there without doing to your warrenty

[ivory mountain]

afterburner wont kill your gpu

[viscid jewel]

I tried overclocking my old gt 1030 and it instantly crashed once

[vagrant pewter]

thats a 1030

ofc it will

[ivory mountain]

well 1 overclocking a 1030 is pointless and 2 you cant just slide stuff to max and expect it to work

[viscid jewel]

I bought it during covid because I thought it was hilarious to own one

Please help looking for a decent gaming laptop around 1500

[empty quartz]

I bought the slowest gpu that was made in 2020

[tidal geyser]

me too

[viscid jewel]

I didn't max it out I only increased it very slightly. Less than 1% oc

[tidal geyser]

been trying to get this one for 1400$ with a 14700HX, 32GB ddr5 and a 5070 ti

[fallow moss]

Lenovo legion?

[shy arch]

Canada computers is selling 1030's for $120 💀

[tidal geyser]

the cheapest with more than 8GB vram is 2500

[fallow moss]

Let me look. I’m sick if this shit

[viscid jewel]

NGL my gt 1030 was pretty solid for what it was.

I got 300fps on Minecraft at 1440p using some performance mods.

[tidal geyser]

well yea its minecraft

i got 1000 fps on my i7 12700h laptop igpu

[shy arch]

I'm rocking an ancient radeon hd 7730m

2012

[viscid jewel]

When I upgraded to a 3070 my frame rate in Minecraft was actually worse 💀

[fallow moss]

1300

[viscid jewel]

960m > gt 1030 > rtx 3080 > Rx 6800 > rtx 4080

[shy arch]

quite a lot of upgrades

[tidal geyser]

that aint bad at all just sad that its stuck with 8GB vram

[empty quartz]

8gb vram

[viscid jewel]

Last 10 years for me

[shy arch]

i wait a bit longer before upgradinf

[fallow moss]

Can this run gta and call of duty

[tidal geyser]

yes

[shy arch]

easilt

[viscid jewel]

My 3070 was vram limited so I swapped it for a 6800

[shy arch]

you don't need 16gb vram

[shy arch]

aight

[tidal geyser]

no?

[fallow moss]

So can I play most games with this

[tidal geyser]

for me i need something that has the vram to drive a 3440X1440 screen on linux

[shy arch]

for gta and cod*

[viscid jewel]

You 100% need 16gb of vram. I was bottlenecked by 8gb in 2021 by forza horizon 5

[tidal geyser]

gta 5 came out with the ps3

or well the ps3 could play it

[empty quartz]

No you werent

[shy arch]

i'm perfectly fine with 8gb on every game i play

[fallow moss]

I hit a 2080ti in my desktop she runs everything

[shy arch]

(msfs, cod, forza, dcs)

[viscid jewel]

Yes I was it used 11gb at extreme... and my 3070 would throw up out of vram errors.

[empty quartz]

I was playing fh5 with a gtx 1080 a few years ago

[fallow moss]

Is this a good screen may try this laptop

[empty quartz]

Max settings

[shy arch]

yeah bc it's extreme settings

i don't need anything higher than medium personally

[viscid jewel]

the 3070 was vram limited it should have had 12gb

[shy arch]

well it's a business thing

[viscid jewel]

Business of scamming consumers

[shy arch]

pretty much

[fallow moss]

Is this a shit screen

[shy arch]

what

[shy arch]

hell nah

it's great

[empty quartz]

Meh

Not good not bad

[fallow moss]

Um

[fringe prairie]

handhelds could play this game pretty easily

[empty quartz]

If its not glossy, its shit

[tidal geyser]

in the case of FH6 the devs even said it was made for steamos/steamdeck

[shy arch]

not neccessarily, some have anti glare coatings

[viscid jewel]

I had to lower it to ultra settings because it ran out of vram if I went too fast.

[fringe prairie]

8745hx means extra shit battery life

[shy arch]

ultra is still way more than the average gamer considers good

[tidal geyser]

ooohhh its that cpu

rip

[shy arch]

On laptops u should in general watch reviews

[viscid jewel]

ok but I paid for a GPU that was leaving performance on the table because it needed more vram it didn't have.

[fringe prairie]

if you want somewhat nice battery life i’d just spring for the 15” legion 5 with amd

https://www.ebay.com/itm/167931717698? - something like this

[tidal geyser]

why watch when i have text

[shy arch]

they tend to cover all the off-paper specs pretty well

[viscid jewel]

So I sold it because it didn't deliver what it promised.

[shy arch]

build quality, ACTUAL battery life, screen quality, thermals, etc

[empty quartz]

This is why i stick to mac for a laptop, it can game pretty well, and gets better battery life than most laptops on the market even after 5 years

[shy arch]

it's practically neccessary

keyboard feel, and the list goes on

[fallow moss]

Someone stole my MacBook

[empty quartz]

Lemme guess, intel?

[tidal geyser]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Shooting-star-or-flop-Acer-Predator-Helios-Neo-16S-AI-gaming-laptop-review.1201655.0.html

[fringe prairie]

unfortunately it took forever for intel and amd to catch up

[fallow moss]

I had a m1

[shy arch]

battery life is one thing i'll give to macs

[fringe prairie]

intel is now finally catching up to apple

[empty quartz]

Did you remove it from your account?

[fringe prairie]

but they’re still nowhere near the max chips

[shy arch]

fr, apple silicon has GREAT security

[fallow moss]

Yea someone broke in my car police found it I never hit it back

[tidal geyser]

solo can you make laptop prices good again

[viscid jewel]

Mac os > windows

[empty quartz]

Whatever you do, dont remove it from your apple account if you ever have an apple device stolen

[fringe prairie]

i wish

i was looking at 15” legion reviews and reviewers were like “you can pick this up for about $1000”

[fallow moss]

Y not

[fringe prairie]

man i wish

[viscid jewel]

I love mac os. If mac could be installed on any pc I would use it over windows and linux

[empty quartz]

They can use it

[tidal geyser]

i should just flip a coin if i wanna get something as cheap and as bare bones as possible right now and spend a bit extra later once nova lake is out on a nicer laptop there or just go for something nicer now

[fallow moss]

wtf n see my info?

[tidal geyser]

my birthday is also in a few days

[empty quartz]

If its icloud locked, an apple silicon mac laptop is a paperweight

[tidal geyser]

having something i can drag to my parents would be fun

[empty quartz]

Did they have your password?

[fallow moss]

Oh no

Ur saying they can reset n use

Idk what I did was few months ago

[empty quartz]

Yes, if you removed it from your apple account

[shy arch]

you just mark it as stolen or whatever

and it's practically bricked for them

can't even swap out the ssd's bc they're soldered

you'll have to swap the whole mobo if u wanna use it

[viscid jewel]

I love my mac sooo much.

[fallow moss]

Yea I had a m4 Mac mini it was nice it just didn’t mske sense having the desktop

[shy arch]

I don't really like mini pc's

[fallow moss]

It’s not bad and have speakers

[empty quartz]

I have a 2021 macbook pro 14” (m1 max 24 core, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd)

[shy arch]

if u want a desktop, just plug ur laptop in, and if u want the fun of pc's just get a proper pc

[viscid jewel]

I have a m4 macbook air 13"

[shy arch]

i have m1 pro 16 core 16" mbp 16gb 1tb

[viscid jewel]

I would never touch windows again if Mac could be used on my main pc

[empty quartz]

I remember you, my gpu is still faster

[shy arch]

just hackintosh it

you can enable gpu passthrough

and get close to native level performance

[viscid jewel]

For gaming though?

[tidal geyser]

5090 laptop for 3200$ hmmm

[shy arch]

i think it'll work

[shy arch]

there are LOTS of videos on hackintosh

covering everything

[viscid jewel]

I didn't think macos supported x64 anymore because apple silicon is arm.

[shy arch]

Quite a beast of an eraser

i wouldn't personally spend that much on a random brand

u never know what support you'll get if something goes wrong

[empty quartz]

It does, but really only 2019 16” pro and 2020 13” pro

Macos 27 will not support intel

[shy arch]

yeah

[viscid jewel]

I don't want to install linux because some of my games wouldn't work. But I'd prefer macos to linux or windows any day.

[tidal geyser]

what games

[shy arch]

lutris?

[viscid jewel]

Apex legends battlefield 6

[tidal geyser]

true

[shy arch]

oh

[viscid jewel]

Banned on linux

[shy arch]

anti cheat is a pain

[tidal geyser]

apex was on linux

[viscid jewel]

was

[tidal geyser]

then people made open source cheats

[shy arch]

i love how cs go still has a native linux version

[viscid jewel]

Steam os is based on linux. If their flagship game didn't work on their OS it would be a bad look.

[shy arch]

on the topic of cs go i don't get why most of the "tutorials" on downloading cs go use some sideways method to choose a custom version of cs2 when u can just literally download it normally like any other game by searching up cs go steam page

[empty quartz]

Its still crazy how good m1 can actually play cyberpunk

[shy arch]

well when u pay that much for the m1 max it should

[tidal geyser]

m1 and m1 max are very different

[empty quartz]

Shhhh

[viscid jewel]

Mac os is just incredibly light compared to windows and apple silicon is amazing

[shy arch]

he said good m1 so that's what i assumed

and also mentioned he had an m1 max earlier

[empty quartz]

(My m1 max macbook was dirt cheap for its specs)

[shy arch]

how much out of curiosity

[empty quartz]

$1070 cad or so

[shy arch]

HOLY

I got my 16" m1 pro 1tb for $800 cad

after hunting it down on an auction

$1070 for those specs is insane

[tidal geyser]

M1 max in Norway is like 14 000nok

[empty quartz]

Whats that in cad?

I cba to look it up myself

[tidal geyser]

[viscid jewel]

Ngl with Nvidia saying that people wont own their own pc, apple silicon might actually save gaming

[empty quartz]

True

[shy arch]

Nvidia is just a sad case now

[pulsar root]

16 GB ram 💀

[shy arch]

genuinely it's sad

[shy arch]

just noticed

[tidal geyser]

it got 2TB of swap, trust

[shy arch]

16gb ram with 24gb vram 💀

[tidal geyser]

what

[empty quartz]

I wish apple would add a better support layer for gaming so you could actually play games like subnautica 2 on apple sillycon for example

[lunar axle]

Oljefonden fixes that

[pulsar root]

very rarely should you have more vram than ram

[shy arch]

24gb*

[viscid jewel]

There is no circumstance I am paying a monthly fee for my pc. Even if I got better than 5090 performance.

[tidal geyser]

im never gonna take out a loan

[empty quartz]

I can either have 32gb of vram or 32gb of ram on my mac at a given time

[tidal geyser]

well try to

[shy arch]

yeah, unless ur ai farming

[fallow moss]

just geta loan

72 months

[shy arch]

i wanna own my tech

[pulsar root]

[empty quartz]

Gotta get the hellcrap owner loan “300 months 700% interest”

unified memory

[hexed tapir]

I wish apple and valve team up together to make an amazing steam deck 2 with apple silicon

[pulsar root]

isnt that just ram

[empty quartz]

Real

[empty quartz]

No

[shy arch]

basically

[tidal geyser]

its a marketing term

your igpu uses unified memory

[shy arch]

not neccessarily

[empty quartz]

Its on package memory, its also higher bandwidth than normal memory

[shy arch]

ts

[tidal geyser]

ACE we have been trough this

[fallow moss]

is the legion heavy n bulky

[hexed tapir]

Didn't the m1 pro or whatever have rtx 3060 mobile level of performance in tombraider

[empty quartz]

Its a gaming laptop, of course it is

[tidal geyser]

but that is not what unified memory means

[viscid jewel]

Someone should program a hack that forces your gpu to use a paging file instead of onboard memory for the bit

[tidal geyser]

its what makes apples igpus so good

[shy arch]

it's not shared, it's unified

[tidal geyser]

tf does that mean

[shy arch]

what ace said

[tidal geyser]

no

[shy arch]

we all know what shared ram is

but unified has that slight difference

[empty quartz]

The hardware apple uses allows for dynamic allocation.

[pulsar root]

ram is shared with the cpu?

thats why it has to be closer (physical location) to cpu on mobo?

[tidal geyser]

so do any other cpu?

[empty quartz]

No

[tidal geyser]

but they do

[shy arch]

no, only a few which explicitly state

they literally don't

[tidal geyser]

why is that

[empty quartz]

Almost no other cpus have on package memory except for server hardware

[shy arch]

more or less accurate

[empty quartz]

Even then its rare for server hardware

[shy arch]

so the actual hardware engineering thing is different

the way it's made

[lunar axle]

Yeah

[viscid jewel]

Is unified memory something that could be enabled via software updates or is it a hardware only feature.

[empty quartz]

Shared memory works similarly to different drive partitions

[shy arch]

not a featuee

[pulsar root]

is this just an apple thing

[tidal geyser]

this is software

[empty quartz]

Hardware

[lunar axle]

Hardware only

[shy arch]

it's the way it's built

[viscid jewel]

No bios update that could enable it?

[shy arch]

not a software thing

[empty quartz]

Unfortunately not

[viscid jewel]

:(

[tidal geyser]

lunar lake?????

[hexed tapir]

Think of the power rtx 4070 mobile performance in a steam deck

[shy arch]

a few thinkpads now are getting unified memory cpu's

[empty quartz]

Isnt lunar lake a 1-off

[tidal geyser]

anyways all "unified memory" is, is that the cpu and igpu can use the same ram

[shy arch]

but it's technically better than standard ram

[pulsar root]

When I turn on my computer, why do i get this kind of logo:

[tidal geyser]

how

[shy arch]

that's the msi logo

[empty quartz]

In a single pool instead of the glorified partitions

[shy arch]

mobo prob

[shy arch]

yeah, so it's way faster

[pulsar root]

yes i know, why is it showing up on my computer on boot

[shy arch]

bc it's just like that

normal behaviour

if u don't like it there might be a setting or bios mod

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser to put it simply
Shared memory: works similarly to how multiple drive partitions work, its on the same part, but it still takes quite a bit of time to copy everything over

Unified memory: works as if you had everything on a single drive partition

[shy arch]

ts

also not to mention the advantages of having the memory physically so close to the cpu

[tidal geyser]

SVM?

[tidal geyser]

what advantages

[pulsar root]

is unified memory speed between ddr5 and GDDR7

[empty quartz]

Depends on the soc

[shy arch]

more stable at higher speeds/lower latency

[tidal geyser]

i would not call it stable but rather supports higher speeds

[empty quartz]

Apple max chips have 400+ GB/s of speed

[shy arch]

that is what stability is

would not everyone just overclock their ram then?

different memory is designed to be stable at different speeds

imagine you had ur ram 10ft away from ur pc

[tidal geyser]

the difference between the production side and user side of looking at hardware is wild

[shy arch]

FR

my first pcb with micro-components and silicon was so interesting

[empty quartz]

@pulsar root

[shy arch]

Getting a tiny insight into the process lowk changed my perspective whenever i open up a laptop

[empty quartz]

Holy shit the data rate of the ultra chips

[tidal geyser]

unified memory is a marketing term, its software handling of ram being why the hardware that markets with unified memory can offer the performance they do.

[shy arch]

Well yes it does mainly have to do with marketing and advertising, but it is not a software thing. To put it simply i believe it's the physical location of the ram chips.

[tidal geyser]

why would the physical location matter for a something that is meant to be a hardware feature

if you look up unified memory what does it say

[empty quartz]

:3

[tidal geyser]

what is under there

[empty quartz]

I forgot

[empty quartz]

And im not taking it apart just to find out. Its my daily driver

[tidal geyser]

cnet

[shy arch]

I love how apple still carried steve job's trait of making his computers beautiful on the inside

[shy arch]

doesn't mean it's wrong

[empty quartz]

Speaking of steve jobs

Wanna know something funny about my boss?

[shy arch]

...sure

[empty quartz]

He shook steve jobs’s hand

[shy arch]

FIRE

[tidal geyser]

just having the ram on the same substrate as the cpu makes it unified memory?

[shy arch]

no, but unified memory is on thr cpu substrate

[tired bear]

put it in a phone

[empty quartz]

Lunar lake, and apple silicon are the only soc’s using unified memory in the consumer space

Also, side note

[tidal geyser]

well phones have the ram chip on top of the cpu

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser wanna see the desk pad i won at whale lan?

[tidal geyser]

No, its linus

[trim tusk]

Oh of course the hipster keychon board

[empty quartz]

It was $120 cad

[trim tusk]

Good mouse choice

[trim tusk]

Pricy but good stuff

[empty quartz]

Linus actually liked my case/build surprisingly

[azure topaz]

120 cad is like 80$

[trim tusk]

Actually what was that mouse like

[steep raptor]

Whoever got that case on the right side got their priorites set straight

[trim tusk]

Thats still a lot for most people outside of the US

[azure topaz]

i’m not saying it’s not a lot of money but it’s not outrageous

[terse pewter]

ah yes, the lap flattop

[tidal geyser]

im considering just getting a 5090 laptop at this point

[empty quartz]

Valid

Im still malding

[shy arch]

Aside from the on paper specs MAKE SURE it has excellent cooling

[empty quartz]

I had the largest/tallest case until a dude showed up with a dual system corsair 1000d

[tidal geyser]

you are telling this to a person with 20 laptops at the moment

[empty quartz]

[tidal geyser]

sold one yesterday

[shy arch]

I almost bought a pallette of 120 old macbook airs oncce

[tidal geyser]

how

[shy arch]

Gov auction

[tidal geyser]

intels then

[shy arch]

until i actually thought about it

yeah, old ones

[trim tusk]

Good for you dude 👍

What’s it like to use?

I’ve always wanted to try out key Chron cuz elitists in peripheral communities boast about it

[empty quartz]

Pretty nice, but im considering switching out the keycaps and switches

[trim tusk]

Why?

[empty quartz]

I cant tell if caps lock is on or off 99% of the time

[tidal geyser]

why do almost no laptops have over 8GB vram

what a pain

this is why i want panther lake

it will just automatically use as much ram for vram as it wants

[lunar axle]

Why not get a computer instead of laptop then

[tidal geyser]

i have school and have family

iv also been able to get away with a igpu but the laptop its in has issues on linux so just going for a bigger laptop that i can max out my 3440X1440 200hz display with would be nice

[viscid jewel]

I'm tempted to sell my 4080 and get a 5080

[tidal geyser]

lower the settings from max to like medium

[viscid jewel]

no?

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean no

[viscid jewel]

I mean I want to play on max settings?

[tidal geyser]

even if it does not look different

[viscid jewel]

It does though

I only lower settings on competitive games.

[frail sequoia]

My setup 😭

[viscid jewel]

If I sold my 4080 a 5080 would only cost me an additional $200 or so

[steep raptor]

yes

[steep raptor]

Is that a Xbox 360 controller???

[frail sequoia]

Madcatz one yeah cause I dont have the wireless adapter i need to use my official first party controllef

[steep raptor]

ah

[viscid jewel]

I swear literally everyone is playing forza rn

[steep raptor]

Im sad I lost my OG Xbox 360 🙁

[viscid jewel]

Bowie Knife99 is ruining me

[steep raptor]

I'm studying fo calculs exam tmr

[frail sequoia]

Frrrr same

[frail sequoia]

(Foujd on official xbox server)

[viscid jewel]

The forza server is going crazy with bowieknife99 memes

[tired bear]

travel optimised

[median warren]

Tbh bowieknife99 is a skill issue

Pro difficult is manageable, unbeatable can be done

But unbeatable in lower classes you need some dirty tricks to get 1st and in S2,R and X your car tune can be so overpowered it easily beats them

[viscid jewel]

I'm playing on pro rn, you need to have a perfect run basically and get ahead within the first 2-3 turns

[median warren]

Yeah I mean you do need to be good

Getting ahead in the first few turns helps massively for sure, but I feel like as long as you get 1st-3rd in those first few turns and have a good run for the rest, you're fine

The bots are pretty shit at taking corners, so you can really catch them in those tight corners where you can just barely clip the checkpoint flag and get away with doing a mean corner cut

But top speed wise and acceleration wise, they're insane, they also have unreal grip when turning but taking corners they're bad at

[abstract wigeon]

just put down deposit for a framework pro lets go

[viscid jewel]

My issue is if you dont get ahead you get rammed

Or brake checked

[median warren]

Yeah the bots are quite bad for that unfortunately

[median warren]

What I hate the most is when I'm turning and they t bone me and push me out

I have rewind turned on since it doesn't take away from the +credit and so I just rewind until it works out well

And unfortunately I'm guilty of this, but when the bots are too difficult I will just power slide into a corner and slam into the bots sideways and use them as brakes so I can get ahead

The car you use matters a lot, there's some really good cars for each class and category

I've found the honda nsx R gt is really good in S1

[tidal geyser]

now what is this, i bought the same laptop for 8700nok 2 months ago

[viscid jewel]

I use a porsche 718 in s1

[pallid kite]

hi anyone with Forza Horizon 6 having similar issue with color under the car ''bleed-ghosting'' including HUD? FG is off and this is 1st time seeing this issue rly on anygame ....wrong DLSS preset or something else?

[swift narwhal]

No my problem is with bowieknife99 he haunts me like I personally offended him

[median warren]

Haven't tried personally

But S1 seems balanced, a good tune will make your life easier that's for sure

[median warren]

Set your DLSS to quality

See if that helps

[pallid kite]

its always on quality still same thing

unsure do i need to switch the one on nvidia app? currently on preset M

[median warren]

I'll look at my settings and tell you what I use, although yes I also experience some, visual anomalies

[viscid jewel]

nv app change dlss preset to L

It uses preset K by default which has ghosting. Preset L is heavier on performance but looks better when running at lower quality settings. So you can drop to balanced or performance and it will look better

Preset M is worse than L I just noticed you were using it

[pallid kite]

ok soo can confrim preset L fixed this for me DLSS quality and settings are on Extreme preset ingame fps still locked on 145 .... thank you very much for help!!

[fallow moss]

Should I go legion and or intel

[tidal geyser]

legion is a laptop line of laptops lenovo sells and intel is a cpu maker

[tidal geyser]

yup

its why the ones you use when using claude or chat gpt tend to be like 300GB or bigger

[random junco]

welp

[tidal geyser]

yup im fucked, 3 years just for there to be no jobs

[median warren]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

spent 3 years in school and need to spent 1.5 out in a actual business to complete it but there are no jobs to nobody that is answering that are possible for me to take

[median warren]

I feel you

My ex had the same struggle and I did too (minus the education) at the beginning

Literally her and I, both went through the same experience, I think I applied to... 400 places? Before I landed a job in a warehouse at Amazon

It got easier after that but it's just one of those situations where you have to keep throwing yourself at it, until you get something even if it's an ass job like warehouse or factory because it's at least something

[tidal geyser]

i think the amount of registered businesses went down

[tidal geyser]

i do not have that luxury, i can only go into jobs that are certified to be able to "train" me or whatever

well teach

[median warren]

So you can't just get a job for the sake of having a job?

Because, income

[viscid jewel]

At least you guys have training. I was midway through an apprenticeship and suddenly developed a motor function disorder. I cant walk anymore without crutches and its impossible for me to work my job.

[modest flame]

so are 1440p OLEDs just getting cheaper or is this just a piece of shit monitor?

[viscid jewel]

Getting cheaper

[tidal geyser]

cheaper

[modest flame]

Good to know

I've been using IPS my whole life

So maybe it's time I treat myself to something way better

[unique solstice]

why is that?

i've had 240hz 1080p since my first build for like 5 years now

it may be time to get a new one lmao

i used to play competitive gaming and now i dont even really need the 240hz

[median warren]

240hz oled exists for reasonable prices now

[unique solstice]

what should i do with my ips one

sell it or run dual?

[median warren]

2nd monitor

Dual is a game changer for convenience

But if you're okay with 1 then you can sell and make some money back

[unique solstice]

i feel like dual with ips and oled would look weird

[empty quartz]

I just found out about bowieknife99’s existence, and im glad i havent run into his ai drivetar

[unique solstice]

2 different panels next to each other

[viscid jewel]

he will run into you

[median warren]

85% of your focus will be on the main oled anyway

Your 2nd monitor is usually only for discord and etc

[empty quartz]

I have yet to lose a race so far

[median warren]

What difficulty

[viscid jewel]

what difficulty???

[empty quartz]

Highly skilled, to unbeatable

[tidal geyser]

one issue is where a OLED does best a IPS is so annoying as it willl ofc just be powered on even if the content on it is dark

got that issue rn

[median warren]

Unbeatable is interesting, I mean I haven't lost a race either but I have used rewind and restarted the race multiple times sometimes on unbeatable

It massively depends on class as well tho

[viscid jewel]

No chance you are winning on unbeatable unless you are a professional forza player or you cheat

[median warren]

No the thing is

It doesn't matter if you're professional

The way the ai is, they're programmed differently, their physics are not the same as yours

The way their car grips, turns and how things affect it, such as speed and bumps are different than to your car

[unique solstice]

this monitor was on sale a few months ago for £380 and i was considering it

[empty quartz]

I play unbeatable to practice, and its usually in class c and b

[viscid jewel]

The only way I've managed to get upto pro difficulty is by turning off traction control and using manual shifting.

[empty quartz]

I have way too many hours in fh4 and fh5 combined

[viscid jewel]

I beat fh5 on unbeatable that was rough but I managed. FH6 is another beast.

[median warren]

Then you know how unfair unbeatable bots are

[empty quartz]

I am aware

[median warren]

The higher the class the easier it is

[empty quartz]

Back in fh5 i only played unbeatable on drag races

[median warren]

But unbeatable to me is more frustrating and sometimes I just want to sweat the corners and shifting so I just play pro/expert

[empty quartz]

S1

[median warren]

Yeah s1 seems balanced

[empty quartz]

My little honda was a beast for s1 drag races

[median warren]

S2, R and X you can cook the unbeatables because your car tune will just be superior

[viscid jewel]

I just use the p50 for drag races lol

[median warren]

I have the drag race nissan gtr Forza edition for drag races, it wins them quick and easy

[empty quartz]

The honda i used was the 74 civic hatchback with awd, 4 speed, and whatever the v8 that you could swap into it was

[median warren]

Currently, I'm seeing the ae86 Forza edition be used very heavily for top speed stuff

I've seen that thing go above 320mph

And for off-road, it's always the dodge viper fe

[empty quartz]

Funny thing, i got a jesko to get close to the diablo gtr’s drag time

[viscid jewel]

Off road I use the brz fe

[median warren]

Haven't tried that yet

[median warren]

There's an R 912 tune for the viper which lets it reach 286mph top speed and still have really good handling on off-road

That's why people use it, it's easy win on trailblazers and stuff like that

[viscid jewel]

I just want them to release the premium edition upgrade for steam... they removed it from the store and haven't said when it will be back

kmph*

[median warren]

They removed it? Really?

[viscid jewel]

Yeah cant get the premium upgrade on steam

[median warren]

Wtf

That's such bs

[unique solstice]

anyone know any good oled monitors?

[median warren]

wasd on racing games feels weird

[fallow moss]

Anyone regret buying a gaming laptop

[native path]

Me

[fallow moss]

Y

Explain

I just added the legion to my cart I’m just not sure

[native path]

Didn’t need all the power, customer service from ASUS sucked, fan broke within a few months, bunch of weird ass issues, keyboard got super hot to the touch after a few minutes

[formal sonnet]

Not me personally, but a couple of friends did, mostly because the battery life sucks on most gaming laptops (even when not gaming), the power bricks are like carrying around a couple heavy books, and for just a bit more than the price of the laptop these friends realized they could have gotten a thin and light laptop and upgraded the desktop for gaming instead.

[fallow moss]

I have a desktop was gonna sale to my friend and buy a laptop not sure now

[unique solstice]

I had one then switched to pc and yes I regret getting the laptop for sure

[dull oar]

5070 or 5070ti

[unique solstice]

well the ti is better

[dull oar]

1440p gaming and editing ae / premiere pro

[fallow moss]

Well no laptop for me too many cons

[unique solstice]

go for 5070ti thats what i have and i also do ae

[formal sonnet]

Without further context, 5070 Ti, of course.

[dull oar]

is it worth an extra $400 CAD (it is in my budget still but just in general)

I am leaning towards 5070ti but i'm worried i wont use it to its potential and end up wasting 400 bucks

[unique solstice]

what editing do u do

[native path]

If it’s in the budget i rather get the extra performance rather than wait and see if you’ll be disappointed

In the long run you’d have appreciated getting the ti

[dull oar]

i make some short docs on premiere and am learning 3d animations in ae

[dull oar]

Alr man ty

Appreciate the help

[unique solstice]

true

[native path]

anytime

[tidal geyser]

its why i want panther lake so bad

[native path]

For what it’s worth the G14 is a great laptop, I think I just had a string of bad luck where my fan broke, and ASUS misread the warranty label and replaced the wrong fan.

[tidal geyser]

it gives you everything you would want, using a small power brick to a thin but really really fast laptop

If those 2 things didn’t happen I might’ve appreciated my G14 more, but the really hot keyboard affected my experience a lot. I always used a 100W ugreen plug and a usb c cable to charge

[arctic kettle]

ti

[hexed tapir]

[arctic kettle]

Too real.

[tidal geyser]

i bought it

@fringe prairie 1850$

so much but i need something

tho 6400MT sodimms is nice

and its portable, ish

[hexed tapir]

Mr money bags

[tidal geyser]

iv never had as much money as i had and it sounds so dumb but im kinda scared of it

[steel umbra]

Are you looking at the cheapest models?

[steel umbra]

Damn

I remember lenovo 3070 laptops during shortage under 1200

[dull oar]

as in the cheapest 5070 and cheapest 5070ti?

[steel umbra]

Yes

[dull oar]

Ya

[tidal geyser]

if i wanted to go new and lenovo that would have been 2500$+

[steel umbra]

What's the price of both

[steel umbra]

Big scam

/s just bad price

2500 is a blow to the left kidney

[dull oar]

900 CAD 5070, 1300 CAD 5070ti

[south arrow]

She's loud but does well enough for gaming

[tidal geyser]

funny enough its quieter than a bigger laptop i was considering

[native path]

My lunch better be on time today I’m hungry af

[hexed tapir]

loud is good

[verbal scroll]

Is it time to upgrade from my 3070 ti?

[tidal geyser]

xd what acer you got

wait, is it the same one

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[tidal geyser]

how is it worms

[south arrow]

Been great for resident evil remakes

[verbal scroll]

True

[tidal geyser]

just need something better

the lunar lake is so good but still its just just not good enough and i kinda wanna stick to linux and well intel drivers are not close on linux vs windows

[steel umbra]

I'd say you get what you pay for both

[native path]

I have a 3070ti as well and i don’t think so yet

[tidal geyser]

also the laptop during gaming even lower load decides to just reboot either due to thermals or some driver issue i dono and i do not care i wanna max out the refresh on my 3440X1440 screen

[hexed tapir]

It's already too late AI companies have destroyed the gpu market, $750 5070ti now cost $1,000

[native path]

Never too late

[glad crown]

should I update my rtx 3080 driver?

[median warren]

Yeah

[glad crown]

is it going to brick my 3080

[median warren]

No

[glad crown]

because that was an issue a while ago so i havent updated since

[formal sonnet]

Yes, very much yes. The days of 566.36 being the "golden driver" version are over.

[glad crown]

Alright, good to know. I still have a backup of that driver to revert to incase something does go wrong

[mellow robin]

should i build a cyberdeck using a raspberry pi or should i use an old lenovo laptop with no screen?

using a raspberry pi would lwk be more expensive as i would have to buy it but i already have a somewhat usuable laptop already which solves my problems of:
a computer
battery
keyboard
storage

all i lwk need now is a screen

[midnight wind]

Meanwhile I can still use the main branch nvidia driver on my 1060 6gb because Debian hasn't updated past 550 yet

[mossy glacier]

16 yo gpus thermal paste still chilly, please come back evga

[mellow robin]

what gpu is that?

[mossy glacier]

Evga gtx 460

Gonna restore it

[mellow robin]

older than me tbh

[midnight wind]

evga dead

[deep musk]

Ain’t no way

[deep musk]

I have a gigabyte one

[mossy glacier]

I remember you...

[deep musk]

(Technically an “oc” version but basically the same)

[mossy glacier]

That shi dropped the day i was born i thinok

[deep musk]

Very possible

[mossy glacier]

From tgttel server

They pinged me like 20 times and muted me for a think a week for saying i ljked furry feet tho

[deep musk]

Ohhh Yeshshsh

[deep musk]

Based (your message)

[mossy glacier]

Haters

[mossy glacier]

But wait which gigabyte model tho

[deep musk]

Mine:

[mossy glacier]

That shi beautiful

[deep musk]

It came out in 2010

[mossy glacier]

Ik

[deep musk]

Please tell me you’re not younger than that qwq

No way im this old

[mossy glacier]

Im that age tho

[deep musk]

[mossy glacier]

Nwphew

[deep musk]

sigh I feel old

[mossy glacier]

Dont stress it jit

[steel umbra]

Evga lifetime warranties ftw

[mossy glacier]

Omg...

[steel umbra]

yeah evga had really good customer service

[mossy glacier]

No ur wrong they wouldnt fix my 1080 ftw that cought fire due to their defect

[steel umbra]

and confidence in products

[deep musk]

I would love to be able to make use of that on my 2080 super but I’m not the original buyer and there’s no way reflector would give me the invoice

[steel umbra]

did it have lifetime warranty?

thought only like kepler cards and older had that

[steel umbra]

didn't know they had them on turing as well

[deep musk]

(Iirc)

[midnight wind]

I had to nag them to actually respond to my PSU warranty and now the fan bearing in the new one is starting to go bad

But I guess that's because they shut down?

[steel umbra]

Yeah they're slowly ceasing

there's less of a reason to honor warranty when your customers never return

[dull oar]

wait i just realized the cheapest one was sff so it’s actually 940 if that really changes anything lol

[steel umbra]

5070 ti then ig if it lasts you long

[steel umbra]

Btw if you're experienced you could swap the fan yourself, just beware of shocking hazards

[midnight wind]

OK I'll touch between the big capacitors near the power plug

[steel umbra]

Most stuff bleeds out but who knows your unit could be faulty or something

[steel umbra]

I recommend showing in a screw driver while the psu is running 230vac

[midnight wind]

It's the quietest thing in my server room though to be fair

[midnight wind]

CantI don't have230v

[silent star]

if only canadian prices were like american prices

yall get 5080s for 1k?

[steel umbra]

Implement homemade 120v -> 230v step up conversion ez

nothing can go wrong

[midnight wind]

I'll diy a two phase 240v circuit installation

[steel umbra]

Make sure it's exposed, insulation is too expensive

[steel umbra]

Depends on when

prices fluctuate

[silent star]

luckyy

[midnight wind]

Make sure you're converting USD to CAD

[silent star]

i did and 1k usd is around 1.3k cad

however

[steel umbra]

False 1 usd = 999 cad

[silent star]

ts used to be 799
