so its why im seeing if bitdefender would be better or if sticking with mbam would be just fine
Windoes defender is, fine
something free is fine
Do you wanna move to dms if its easier cause i have quite a few deals that i found but im not sure which is best
i guess windows defender isn't able to stop you from hurting yourself
it has let through corrupted mods and it has allowed a couple of malware programs that mbam found
yup, never give programs adminsistrator permissions
it'll give you a warning if you're about to do something stupid
and no windows defender doesnt help with purposeful stupidity.
it hasnt in the couple of years i used it.
It has in the years I, and millions of others have used it
Downloading random files from websites, blocking random exe's all good things
Protecting from norton
2012 intensifys
the admin permissions to programs are only on seperate VM as i love watching it implode lol.
well sure but... fox holes? I mean that's the WW2 map but with robot dogs. Its weird af.
i'm having fun
Let me be miserable though
Tear it upp sparkss
EW ready or not uses epic services even when purchased via steam
unless windows defender has changed it doesnt protect from corrupted mods as they are not exe.
live laugh hate epic with burning passion
Probs not
But idk mods for gaming isnt my forte outside of adding like Skyrims dlc from the correct menu and file path
Finally on my way home. Gonna eat dinner then install 5090 #2 
thats the only reason i am even asking because windows defender has failed me many times with mods. not so much exe's but mods it fails and thats the only thing i need on my main computer. on my VM it dont do shit for half the the trojan exes i have downloaded either lol.
i personally just download mods through reputable platforms that already do virus scans
This might be the dumbest shit I’ve ever said but not inaccurate lmao
Watchaaa got macss?
For dinner or which 5090? 
macdonalds
Both lmao
welcome fellow TUF supporter
Dinner is chicken fettuccine Alfredo my roommate made (the goat), and 5090 is Asus TUF lol
Heck yeahhhh gonna be noiceee
can i join
yes
sick
what is a fleetwood
just have to go purchase a 5090 TUF for $1999
macaroni
fleetwood macaroni
We take the winssss
yeah
what were you rocking when I spent $1800 on my first TUF, hmmmm?
idk probably a 6700XT
yeah thats right 
is it built ford tough or built dodge tough
whats built tough in cars whats that slogan for
built chevy tough doesnt sound right
ford
whats dodges thing then are they built in any particular way used in a slogan
i know jeep was like Any road's a cobblestone road.
which doesnt make any sense because cobblestone roads are fucking annoying to drive on
yeah all roads are gravel roads in a jeep really great
Sometimes I wonder if @vestal granite got into boat building and has been around fiberglass epoxy fumes too much lately
Bro on his 3rd 50 series card
I went thru quite a few 40 series
you lost a bit of aura when you bought 4080s
and didnt you have a 4070ti super as well
strix 4090 white my beloved
twice 🙁
might go cop a 3080 FTW3 for cheap ngl
y
another gpu to add to the display shelf
waste
3080 doesnt have any aura
focus on 5090s
if you want an evga card then get a 3090ti or somethin
keep your eyes on the target
na I want a 3090 realistically but theres been 0 of em popping up
3090 was prob the most disappointing GPU I have owned
3090Ti FE has aura
yeah the aura is sorrow
😐
not on ti
like lowk might just go bail on the 3080 ftw3 since 0 3090 popups in like forever
What
def need to go replace the paste tho
tf
yeah what about it
I just reinstalled windows last night on this PC and here's already a new driver again
this is so awesomesauce
oh its just a minor fix
that section looks the same, but the interface is different if you click it
The only time I ever installed an active backplate (and last)
That's a fat GPU
So he bought it from some other guy on marketplace in the non working condition
ngl i feel like pulling the trigger on the ftw3 3080 but he’s far away 
1.5 hr trip there just for a 3080
$400 SGD for a 3080 
oh NVM. it got sold off, I do see a 3080 Ti with sloptimus block though
eh nvm the 3080’s a shit decision
duhs
i must stay focused
like…. just my setup?
yah your main pc and desk setup
9800x3d x870 SL
typical hynix A die (6kc30)
AW2725DF (qhd360) n a vertical mounted rando 1080p100
solid enough
9800x3d gloated
i think you need this though https://youtu.be/drJnSukFgfY
See the game like never before with the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W – the world’s fastest & brightest OLED gaming monitor.
With Tandem OLED technology, this beast delivers 15% higher peak brightness, 25% wider color volume, and 60% longer lifespan than previous-gen WOLEDs.
Native 540Hz refresh rate with dual mode flexibility: 1440p@540Hz or ...
the ultimate 1440p monitor
it’s even white to match your 5090 master ice
hell na im not an esports sweat
man, when you’re using the monitor you won’t see it’s back 😭
but it looks so awesome
you pay the price as a customer
so its funny my sons school has an esports program
yeah, a lot of schools in my area have a esports team now along with other sports
and pretty much every universityhere has one
👀
yeah and i think it's awesome
i hope they offer a 32" 4K 240Hz version next year
i want a 38" 5K 240 hz
I've always found those multiports in the Hydro coppers interesting.... Though the wideness of them may or may not work in some chassis

At least that was the case with 30 series
that would be so peak
maybe 37" though, 36.5" viewable
37.25"
unacceptable
too big
my preference is for the display to be a similar size to the depth of my desk
a little smaller or a little bigger is fine, but if it's way bigger or way smaller then im uncomfortable
tuf
pretty card
pretty good card for a metal/black build
honestly feels way more premium than the gigabyte
is the tuf all metal or is it only metal braced
i know the astral is all metal
the aorus master is plastic with metal bracing
5K2K is definitely something for me to get used to in terms of it being a thing
all metal seems like
nice
The shroud around the sides and back are plastic nvm
but the area around the fans and the backplate is metal
With all this being said that was probably one of the worst peels ever
I was being gentle af
yeah im not a fan of the gaming OC design at all personally
i think the Windforce looks nicer, and the Aorus Master is obviously nicer
☠️
they just spammed fanblades 
This thing is a fkin chonker bro
5090 AMI vs 5080 Aero vs 5070Ti aero fan blades
master ice so pretty
Tasteful RGB on the TUF. Love to see it.
wait wheres the rgb on the tuf
dafuq
Just the TUF logo on the side
way more elegant looking that the gaming oc
getting that for $2K is very cool beans
yeah ngl the gaming oc’s rgb was terrible I turned it off besides the gigabyte logo lmao
ROPS CHECK

ur missing 2 rops again frfr not capping

No PhysX support. Ewaste.
/j
Oh the TUF actually has 4% extra on the power slider?
master ice so good
its relative
Yeah the gaming oc just defaulted to 600W
TUF RGB is minimal, it fits it well
TUF apparently defaults to 575W
Any buyers remorse I had is simply gone after this btw
3
Both tbh but mainly price
word
Price refund
Better model
free BL4
2K 5090 is sick
$2000 TUF wouldve made me very happy
I am not going to lie, the worst like 72 hrs of buyers "uhhhhhhh" I ever had was my current boat
i love my 5090 master but $3000 pre tax is kinda nuts
exactly
I think I wouldve been unhappy spending 3K
buyer’s remorse now gone but still crazy
but what about $9200?
lol
5nail I really hope you realize your ping at 8 something AM yesterday has ultimately saved me $550 lmao
I did - its wy I did it
i’m surprised you didn’t buy a 4th 5090 when you saw the $2k tuf snail
Wall of sorrow and regret
4 hour drive round trip before work today was brutal but lol
worth it
so many giggles
do you still have the 4090 or only the box
he needed to leave the scraps for Mac
still have it - i don't keep boxes - that 4090 is in my 7800x3d
I probably have spent enough money on my hobby to buy a new car from the dealership

4090 aero as a 32bit physx card for the 5090 master ice
that would be so solid
My 5090 cost 20% of my car loan 👍
my 5090s were less than the turbo and clutch in my fast car
LOL
so there's that
my 5090 is nowhere close the price of a car here 
modding cars is too dang expensive
its really bad on big boy parts
one 5090 per wheel+tire
my 5090 is at best worth a driving license 
one 5090 astral white per wheel
but then we need tires
and thats only one set of wheels lol
Oh yeah my Jonsbo N5 came today too
ooo wow the cool folk are in tc2 now
wat
ill stick to pc parts where i can feel like a king for a lot less
@shell void this is like $5200 CNC intake manifold
i will have to resist the urge to buy an ARL-R cpu
Should I get one?
the welds look cool beans
yes naturally you need a 285ks/286k/295k or whatever they call it
yah i agree, gonna be so hard to sell 285k
i dunno wtf to do with it otherwise
I think I might be the only person in the world who doesn't work for Intel but has 2 core ultra systems
TUF runs a bit cooler than Gaming OC
it was suspiciously locked at 80.0C on vram tho
my finding also
@turbid locust our scalper boy wouldn't concede but my TUF OC beat his Suprim easily
lol
Im gonna guess Vert.KO
next time TUF is in stock at $2k, ping my ass
But yeah TUF is like a solid 5-7C cooler
There was no stock at St. Davids
figures, we don't live in bumblefuck
yeah, brooklyn had like 6

I go to MC often I never saw a non-OC TUF
Mac readied his balls for 4 hour drive
well there you go @edgy laurel
huh
in stock straight from Asus
let's make it happen tonight Guilty
lol wtf
there is no way this is in stock

hmmm reddit post about it 3hrs ago saying people were having trouble checking out
I wish we knew why ASUS is dumping that SKU
Idk but i'm not complaining lol
Its probably flawed
stfu
I wnat guilty to get a 5090 just so he can run MFG
5nail has a point tho 
asus isnt the type to do this type of shit
multi framegen on the 120hz monitor 🔥
really helpful with my 116 cap
you know it'd be delicious
i don't think this is working anyway
he can use dlss quality instead of performance and the swap will only be a couple hundred bucks
Gear him up with that 4k240 full glossy WOLED on the way
Lol the TUF OC sku is still $2890
only available in normie sizes
i don’t think you’d be able to convince spark to try anything smaller than 37”
yep
I could never do above 32” 
at first i was annoyed my 5090 resale would be jacked, but then i remembers i just need to wait until they stop selling 5090s but haven't released 6090s and people will pay $2700
if 32" 4K 240 OLED was available in early 2023, that was the dream. They weren't just yet, so I "settled" for this crazy idea some people had to use an LG TV (what??). Now i'm fully hooked.
Wait I just realized I did that thermal testing without my side panel LOL
scam
it the 6090 is incredible then it’ll be out of stock for months after release and people will be willing to buy a used 5090 because 50 series isn’t on shelves anymore
can’t lose 
i already put money away for 6090
my TUF has a bit of coil whine ngl
it’s so fucking over
weird
not unbearable but like
ggs Mac you got a cursed 5090
naw
you could try 80% power limit (460W) to see if that makes it quit
oh it was only whining during the opening cyberpunk cutscene nvm???
you’ll barely lose any fps
Efficiency is noiceee
@turbid locust
cutscene whine? comon Mac, you've been around the block
not like he needs to push above 144 anyway 
ok theres a little whine in gameplay too tbf
return it
get an astral
Still no white astral
Glad I just got the gigabyte slimer
Does anyone here have a 4090 Strix?
I wish
ok core temp stayed the same, but fans were running about 50-75RPM quicker so checks out, and vram got about 2-4C warmer
I have an EK 4090 Strix waterblock i want to give away
HDR embed 👀
mac bin
I have a problem where even if my card has coil whine I cant hear it 
So just bad hearing
I simply don't buy cards with coil whine 
its on the ground how tf am i supposed to hear
your ears
The fan noise block it
The speaker sound also blocks
My headset also blocks
Yo
I have question
Needed to make that known
My pc got zapped from the power surge but it doesn’t actually do anything to my pc yet
wdym by it got zapped, did you see it like spark or light up/
i wonder if it's terrifying enough to get you to buy a ups :p
So
That happened to me
Still waiting for zap to do something to pc too
That’s what I’m talking about man, is anyone else experiencing the zap?
@fickle dirge
non of the above, get a card with some vram
3070 ti i would argue is the saddest nvidia card there is, it has the power to get some fps but not vram
I dont really play games that use much vram tho
Basically only val cs ark and mc with shaders
I just thought of something. Since I'm not gonna actually use the CPU, what about boiling it?
Not possible as it won’t get hot enough to melt solder (assuming you’re talking about boiling water)
Even pressurised?...or is that the opposite direction?
Still won’t get hot enough, also not worth the risk on contamination. Hot plate is probably the most cost effective method and has the highest success rate
contaminating what?
I’d assume you’d just be using a pressure cooker if you attempted that method
Hotplate is $10 or so
You can probably use a blowtorch but I have a feeling it would get messy and be slightly toxic. Hotplate melts the solder without warping the substrate. It pops off nice, when it comes off nice you don’t have a layer of baked on underfill
So ur saying a 6700xt?
yea
i would only really consider the 3070 ti if it was the cheapest of what it offers
and its for 1080p
What temp do I want?
250°C should be plenty
1000F is > 250C, right?
Yeah it’s 540°C so that’s plenty
it's not 480?
For soldering?! 250c won't even melt leaded solder
Yes but you make the material super durable if they could obviously but that changeable display keyboard i shared looks neat im just curious what its keys are like to use but imagine if the software for it allowed you edit various areas of the keyboard separately from the rest , personally im interested now in looking for a big oc case where the sides are led display panels tbh im not a fan of the glass on the sides of pc cases but having a led display would be awesome
It’s in with room to spare 
If you have a very small pinkie
Need to redo cables further and tidy it up
My truenas has randomly shut off two times in the past few days and I have no idea why
for a 5070 how much should the other components cost
my brain having a hard time comprehending that question. how do you come up with that lmao
logs, i guess.. though if its a hardware failure that causes each power off, don't expect much
yeah doesn't have much, I have to keep an eye on it
@spare tinsel you're going about your ultimate goal in a very strange way. Just make a thread in #1106613567966429224, lists the parts you have, the rest of your total budget and your location/region of the world
might switch it to another outlet, I noticed that outlet turns off if you flick a certain switch
lmao, that'll do it! tbh not the first time i've seen something like that
I've got the light switch taped off lol, but I still don't trust the outlet
I could do it for $200
stahp
thats kind of the thing
different people have different opinions on how much you could/should spend on the other components
like i see some people have (unrealistic) low prices
$200 is very doable
its
maybe for some people
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
even worse when it's like really low, and they're not willing to buy second hand, and will only buy new
Some old haswell Xeon and motherboard and you'll be right as rain
theres also the question of whether you should
not just if you could
phrased another way
what % should the gpu
cpu
motherboard
cost out of the total budget
it still hurts my head honestly
totally depends on user requirements, availability etc.
Or just, I plan to buy a 5070 as my gpu, I have this much total budget, what other parts should I get for my PC?
What Guilty said earlier
Bottas to Cadillac
Same, I don't expect them to perform that well, but Bottas has tons of good experience and I am glad he is being given another shot at driving
And hopefully they let him bring back the Calendar

I found an r630 with 512GB of ram in the trash
See exactly, easy to find
hi
So apparently my laptop has gone on a long vacation... And now the only option remains...
Using my OnePlus Nord CE 2 lite 📱 with the following broke ahh setup:
Just like 5090s in March
so easy bro
hi
hi
nihao
Konichwa
Guys is there any pc cases where it doesn't have a glass side panel but on sides it has led display screens covering the entire sides what cna be customised?
https://a.co/d/2rZ8DHf i guess this
is the closest, but it looks to be no longer available
Probably do better than Hamilton in a Ferrari 😂
😳 😭
There’s only one man that could get Cadillac team points and that’s Fernando Alonso. The best driver we have seen in F1 for like 20 years
One of the few that can do it with a shit car
Did you know spaceX spent $100m to go to space while ferrari spent $140m to sign Hamilton?
deal deal deal
That’s brilliant.
India spent less to go to space too
India’s first rocket launch cost $500,000 for the entire project and it was a success.
Good for anything users here need.
DRAM is stupid for consumers
source is MLID so grain of salt and all that
thats concerning
if ddr6 isn't on the market they may just stick to am5
yup
It’s meant to be announced September if or if not it will happen
we are going to sit on AM5 for a while boys
good and bad
Must mean they trust in L3 cache to keep snacking out performance
I mean that's fine, it's not the socket/motherboard holding it back but the current IMC I/O die on the cpu
Rumour has it 6ghz will be coming with the Zen 6 also
So like 4 more years
Has anyone of you dealt with amazon repair services?
Zen 6 i have heard rumours of potentially 164mb+ L3 cache and 6ghz non boost clock speeds
Can SpaceX make it to Q3 in the hungarian GP?
neither can hamilton
Also do not get the sony ult wear, hinges break after a few months, ts pmo
Maybe the next gen of am5 will contain a different mounting method for cooler to support a larger sized cooler.
Selfishly I am tired of buying motherboards lol
No need
Yeah thats the one benefit, we can sit on platforms for a while longer. But I kinda wanted to see something new, too
Considering DDR6 not there and for 99.92% of the population being fine with the PCIe 5.0 lanes on AM5, there's really no need to change
Intel 13/14th gen ran incredibly higher power limits and heat. AMD can push the same without a need for a new cooler
I totally get it you know I have hardware ADHD but if I don't have to lose more money reselling Apex boards I am OK with that
I mean, there's no reason they can't/won't release a new x970 motherboard still using am5 and giving it pcie 6 or something if they really wanted
Meanwhile Intel releasing another new platform…
There will be x970 with Zen6
there will be some kind of mobo refresh, the motherboard AIBs will demand it
Now with 6 PCIe NVME SSD slots on the back of your motherboard
6 pcie nvme slots on itx board when
Maybe gigabyte can release an X870 that has PCIe 6.0 "unofficially" lol
Itx limited to 4. Don’t wanna overheat it
We've got the whole bottom side on the front, now that PCIe slots beyond the 1 for the GPU are useless...
then we can get new tests comparing sata ssds all the way up to pcie 6 gen nvme drives tested and oh look it's only 2-10 seconds faster in loading games
I wish the mobo mfgrs would just ditch all PCIe slots other than GPU
Like what more can you do to the motherboard other than add nvme slots at this moment in time
More RGB fan headers? 😂
Apex type boards could have 1 PCIe slot and then more NVMe w/o lane sharing
in theory, they already have. Just need to physically remove the plastic now
yeah but the layout is still all wonky nu nu
I mean I got my motherboard with full size slots on 1x. I don’t need any of it, just my gpu one
If there was an matx version I’d have bought that instead tbfh
This one lmao
there's also no reason they couldn't release something like an x970 motherboard that has quad channel memory support for zen 7 (if the I/O die supported it), just when you stick it in an older am5 board it would only be able to use dual channel obv
zen 6 is moving to a dual IMC
still dual channel, but dedicated one to each channel
so in theory better memory speed supported
Probably just a buggy and hotter. Cool if it’s better though
It's so ugly it's beautiful 😍
lotta theory here, will be interesting to see
Got a question whats the difference between a 9070XT prime and a 9070XT tuf, the only one i know (i think) its tuf got better overcloack
they wouldn't do the change for no reason, so there's gotta be some benefit
Where does the little support stand for the RTX5090 go?
In the metal in the corner or towards the plastic?
I'd be very curious to see how a 2 dimm oc mobo handles zen 6
one stick per imc channel
For normal gamers, effectively nothing. Margin of error out of the box performance difference. Real world, you can expect the Prime to run warmer, and therefor potentially louder. Much smaller cooler.
TUF you get a metal shroud, vs. the cheaper plastic of the Prime
tl;dr, better cooling solution
Yep cuz im getting a 815 refund of my died 7900xt and i was choosing a new 9070xt and i saw the prime dropped prices to 730 to 690 I'll just buy a tuf at 720 euros
Still a gain
Can I interest you in a 5070Ti
Alright
Currently have it like this
it goes wherever it makes sense to support the card, so exactly how you have it
Since i just game a i would lose only on the RT quality and 2% more fps in some titles against a 9070xt no?
Nvidia's unbeatable supporting software package as a whole, which I'd never give up.
Okay I finally finished my build 🙏
the 2015 Flagship:
i7 3930K @4.6Ghz
32GB 1866Mhz Ram
R9 Nano (Rebar Modded onto Mobo and GOP Updated)
Asus X79 Sabertooth
All in a beautiful Deepcool Case with a Deepcool AK620S Digital
it's just too damn good
So is it worth the extra 200 hundo?
I'd pay whatever it took, tbh
especially if you plan to use RT in the longer run
Yeah 1440p
yeah I'd go for the 5070 ti
I'll wait for the September price drops then
How much PTO do you get Guilty
A ton, and I don't use nearly enough of it. I actually have all next week scheduled off just to burn some of it, but some things are happening at work and I'm not sure yet if i'm going to use all of it.
9070xt is superior if you like real frames
It isn't.
Yeah we don't track it- but I just found in Dayforce/Workday whatever that I get 256 hrs annual + 16 floating
comes out to 34 days of vacation lol
Nvidea fan
I have only taken like 100 hours total, but we don't actually decrement it
Seeing 500 Mhz on the Vram Clock feels so weird ngl HBM do be weird
As a 9070 XT owner, its not superior
As a 9070xt owner it is superior
nothing is real it's pixels on a screen
Native Perf >>>>> Generated Frames aaaaaaaaaaaaaalll day
News flash, "generated frames" are an option
Except the native performance is not superior
the native Latency is though :D
Yeah this is some hardcore copium
At the end of the day it’s all in the price if you get a 5070ti cheap that’s great if you get a 9070xt cheap also great I just so happened to get a 9070xt cheap
What did I do i sparked a war
get whatever you like more honestly lol
Typical AMD plebs


Owned 7900 XTX and 9070 XT, they're OK in most titles, horrible in others, and I'd def recommend the Nvidia equivalent in the price range just for DLSS and MFG
I'd do it just for DLSS alone
If your playing 1440p both cards can out put great performance paired with a 9800x3d you won’t be crying about 60 fps unless it’s that mafia game that apparently sucks to run
FSR4 is better than FSR3 but so few games support it still, and probably ever will
Go play Indiana Jones on a 9070 XT
No
you can play it on a Vega 64 on Linux with Software RT no biggy, no need for a 9070XT
DLSS Transformer, game changing. Proper HDR support that actually works with tools to enhance SDR content, game changing (for me).
Don't get me started on AMD HDR support
I play ASA helldivers and Warframe no more no less
DLSS + FG made my 4070 an actual 4K capable card
yeah.. i know its ass
Fuggin custom resolution profile bullshit
For me its more about the supporting features and experience than it ever was about raw raster performance. that parts easy
Nvidia just destroys the competition on stuff I care about
Guys is the montech gamma 2 750 gold a decent psu?
Yeah after i had issues with my 7090xt that randomly died i had resolution and bad fsr experience i might wait and go Nvidia
In the end its a Preference imo, to whoever likes what more and especially it depends on what you need and what not, if you wanna Stream, Render and possibly Need Cuda? No reason to get an AMD
Not only do some of it better, but they do it at all while everyone else has no alternative
All I’m saying is my steel nomad score shits on the 5070ti 
I feel like Nvidia is a better "package"
Cause benchmark is everything
with 40 more watts you beat a GPU in 1 benchmark 😉
For Windows for Sure, for Linux its the other way around sadly. But support is getting better and better lately
Well the 0.3% of gaming population can buy AMD then
Now lets compare cyberpunk scores with path tracing
It’s also a card I got used that costs more new than just about any 5070ti 
Also as another Radeon owner.... Just stop, this is just embarrassing 
Also whoops, just got a tiny scratch on my S90D screen when attempting to package it for shipping
I own both right now, though I don't know if my two cards should ever be compared against eachother.. its not quite fair
I had the 9070 XT XFX Mercury OC, it was fine, it was great in Warzone/COD, but anything that needed more fell apart quickly
I sparked this
Eww single player
all your fault smh
He's rage baiting at this point
I have the powercolor red devil
TBH, Nvidia vs. AMD arguments are kinda like the backbone of this space. If they didn't happen regularly, what are we even doing here?
I had ordered one before realizing it had hideous red on the end
We all know BMW is better anyway
This gave 100% ragebait
oh shit
Agree.
For me theres just no reason to get any High End Cards atm.
Newer games are so bad that I don't even play em. Games that were good like E33 or CP77 can be played on my R9 Nano without issues but even before the Nano i used a Claw with a 5700XT eGPU lmfao
It’s worse than that it has rgb logos on all sides so no matter how you place it you are never gonna see half the rgb. That end cap isn’t just red it’s whatever color you want
maybe gonna get a 5070ti or 9060xt in 2030 when games possibly get better
@turbid locust @shell void finally getting around to stabilizing Z890 Apex
what resolution are you playing at
1080p
makes sense
What cause I don’t like single player = rage bait
we’re so gone intel is down 6% again
the R9 Nano is getting in Vram Overflow but without stuttering or glitches in E33 gladly
We're trying to play the latest stuff on High/Ultra at 4K. We are not the same. 😆
E33 runned weird in my 7900xt i had some stutter and then 250 fps
Im just a sucker for old hardware, especially old Intel Hardware like X79 and X99
High/Ultra 4K HDR 😛

I do wanna get the astral 5080 near me it went down another $100 cause no one is buying it 
tbh the game ran worse on my claw + 5700xt egpu than on this R9 Nano, its weird for this game
Same goes for the integrated XeSs, if I activate XeSs balanced i have worse fps than with TSR High
At the end of the day buy what convinces you and always be willing to try
5080 Astral is prob the worst Astral to get
Yeah still my goty of 2025
same
But for near 5080 msrp it has some real value
got 60+ hours in it :D
@topaz veldt my drive home the other day
That song perfectly sums up this current debate
Any Asus Card nowadays screams to be of non great value imo
This is war
but my tommy gun dont
Sadly my stock sapphire 7900xt in my main station outlived my brand new asus tuff 7900xt
lmfao, Im done with the TUF Asus Series after i tried tightening ram on my B450 Board...
Every. Failed. Attempt... required a physical CMOS reset as the Fail Save function DID NOT work
ah and it had no cmos reset button so yeah 😭
My b650 asus tuff was the worst mobo i ever used
glad we feel the same kekw
Then I went back to msi and I felt at home
my first MSI was a Z79 MPower Max AC, ever since I love MSI boards
You wrote off ASUS TUF because of a RAM tuning effort on a B450?
that seems awfully random
My asus board had a known problem that to fix it i just had to remove and put back the CPU
what
Other wise I would have get a cpu and ram led on my mobo
lmfao
The only issue I ever had with an ASUS board was the Intel nic failing on my B650E-E but thats an Intel nic issue not ASUS
lol wut
Im not lying 3 diff sistem did the same with different cpus same.mobo
2k 5090 tuf is pretty decent
I should have Added Price vs Other AIBs
that's just plain not true?
Usually it is though, it also pretty much depends on the country you are in
Here in Germany Asus is just way more expensive than the other AIBs
theyre literally as shitty as any other aib price wise depending on which sku you get
In italy asus it's affordable
Rog it's impossible to buy tho
I take its anywhere tho
yup
Disagree
I mean rog it's part of asus but still it's 500 euro more expensively
I agree
high end offering is expensive who would've known

this is not a positive influence on my desire to build an ARL-R computer
AsRock was also part of Asus, then split off and started frying AMD CPU's 
Never going to win an argument when someone doesn't see the value in something
You should join me - its lonely
this is not true
how is it not true
they were owned by the same parent company
Fast cars depend on where you live man
I wasn't referring to you
Wasn't it owned by the Asus Group?
pegatron
which essentially means Asus
Nice to know ahah
ASRock established themselves WAY before AM5
I have fast cars, they are fun
That is true lol, not doubting them before that
oh wait, hold on, wait a minute
I had a porche early 70s I took it for Spins I loved it
no i was wrong
Ah its Asustek
-> Asus
-> Pegatron
->Unihan
yep
all good, its a bit complicated either way lol
2.7L
Yep i believe it's the 911
My work laptop is meteor lake wtf
I would not categorize a '73ish 911 as "fast" though
i was expecting for intel to announce ARL-R at gamescom because the frequency tweaks primarily benefit gaming
i guess they still could
Lip-Bu doesn't care he's trying to figure out how to sell to China
i’m not sure if/when their keynote will be
Yeah tbf but it's a joy to drive
I still drive this my grandpa car
lip butan sells IP secrets to china and the intel board tries to sell the fabs to taiwan
i miss papa gelsinger
$100B to IFS IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I was just talking about this in the office yesterday
This ridiculous takes guy was like "Pat Gelsinger wasn't he the crazy christian guy?"
I was like "Yeah he was the crazy Christian guy who wasn't trying to sell everything to the Chinese military..."
They had no idea wtf I was talking about
the crazy christian guy who tried to establish american foundry dominance but only received pennies from the government and was having to plead with the nearsighted geriatric money hungry board
Its unfortunate he wasn't given more runway
i liked how assertive he was with visibility of future products and ideas
he was showing off a pantherlake processor on stage in 2023
Somehow people forget he ran VMware to the top of success mountain
McFLurry
I mean, these bullshit "special editions" come out every generation for something or other
and most of them look pretty fuckin' questionable, at best
Its MSI so its trash but its better than the Matrix
oreo gpu
this is ugly
bring back the true leather cases cowards
wonder who at nvidias toes they had to suck to get an 800w vbios
It only gets an 800W BIOS if you have a BTF board, so gross - hideous GPU and stupid config
ok since I scratched up the S90D screen that is being sent back for RMA, I took pictures of the other flawless S90D screen I have so I can have "proof" I did not damage the screen
wtf did I miss akn
peak fraud
Bought S90D from woot, came with faulty power supply or board + broken pixels in bottom right, sending it back for RMA to Woot, went to costco and bought another S90D cause I wanted to watch TV
Shouldn't have shipped me a broken TV
fair
How are classes?
I just accidentally bumped the TV on a corner, and the plastic coating got a little messed up on the TV
Start next week
Mine started this week
chill so far?

I'm not too worried, would have to replace screen anyways with broken pixels
but if they try to deny my refund all hell will break loose
"shouldn't have sent broken TV" next sentence "I bumped it into a corner"
yeah but can he clear a 22" draft
This week is a mercy week as the professor let us get some final things
the TV came broken out of the box
I just bumped it putting it into the box
Just put my LTT Deskpad in the washer let’s see how it goes lmao
explode
i just take my mousepad outside and wash it with the hose and dawn soap
nope he’s a poser
Though the GOAT of Scientific Calculators is gone (Casio FX-991EX) so ended up with TI-36X Pro
and use a brush to get the dirt out fully
didn’t feel like doing allat. I have the biggest Deskpad LTT sells.
mines like 900mm x 400mm
Unfortunately, even if it came broken.
You damaged it more, because of that an eventual RMA case can be cancelled.
TI calculators so good
:(
this is how photos taken with my front camera look because the lens seal is compromised and the inside gets filled with condensation
iphone 17 pro max can’t come soon enough
Mines 1500mm x 600mm lmao
didn’t realize they made ones that big tbh
Yup
LTT has biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig desk mats
Humongous deskpad for my humongous desk
this is my mat
size does matter
Yep went with the TI-36X Pro since it's guaranteed to be approved and because graphic calculators are not allowed
does energy star destroy the picture quality on oleds too
Sorry HP Prime G2
yes eco mode is terrible on all tvs
the vizio is still an old cheap ips panel but now that i took it out of eco it’s a lot better
for the price of $0.00 it’s pretty solid
So stupid that graphing calculators are not allowed
does it have a filmmaker or cinema or movie type mode
that’ll be your best option
or if it has a game mode then you could calibrate that to not look like oversharpened blue garbage
yall are lying if you don’t think this looks interesting
“standard” (eco)
“calibrated” (i’m on this with tweaks rn)
“vivid” (bad)
“game” (disables 24fps support)
“computer” (awful colors)
i think it will because they made the distinction of “PG27AWQP-W”
but they brought the white one to gamescom because it’s more interesting
this board is interesting https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-z890-ace-se/

ddr6 should only be 1dpc
sorry best we can do is 2dpc by default and every 1dpc atx board will be $700 even though it’s cheaper to implement
would be nice to see gaming bioards at 1dpc
wow z890 board pricing is nice
keep shitting on arrowlake steve it makes the boards cheaper
this is only $350 right now
I just saw a great insult for anyone in a shooter:
I'd say that your aim was cancer, but cancer actually kills people...
Z890 is a nice plaform overall
howdy 5nail, doing alright?
I'm alright
Seems to be some good mid tier 1dpc boards making their way to the market, hope the trend continues
B850M Mpower needs to fkin release tho
yeah just as we all know, today, 1dpc boards range in quality
we need an x870e gene
fuck no fuck Asus for what they did with the x670 gene
what am i looking at here?
Anyways apparently my AYW OC is in Indianapolis as of yesterday
interesting, yes. something I'd want to own as my day to day display, no.

clankas?
we are cooking
hey that was mine today
Is there a real security concern for using an NVIDIA graphics driver from December 2024 because anything I tried to use after that would have issues. Like black screens when opening up games, clicking off the monitors, moving the mouse from a game to a different monitor, etc.
more of a game support/feature issue
I use 566.36 because I have had zero issues. Anything I tried after that always had problems. That was before I upgraded
if you're not having issues don't worry about it
really shouldn't be having issues now
first half of the year, things were pretty dicey
wait for it
LMAO nice
DAMN
Dude got nabbed by god & let go when he saw the list from st pete
Shooter was there just to send him to hell 
LOL
I think I figured out why the S90D came broken
How do you mean? Did NVIDIA fix those black flashes and black screens?
Dude comes to pick up the TV, I offer to help him carry it, says nah I got it and just casually overhead presses the TV and box and puts it on his shoulder
screen side down
screens are surprisingly durable from non-sudden pressure
just insane to see this dude casually do that
These were problems people were complaining about earlier this year, its mostly died down now with the latest driver packages. If you still have problems, make sure you do a full safe mode DDU and install the latest.
your favorite playstyle
chucking bombs
Ok I’ll try and update drivers and see if it works.
But regarding security, is that a genuine concern? Using an outdated driver?
literally plugging your pc into the internet is a security concern
Subjecting yourself to online information is a security concern
(this is an exaggeration)
magnificent
Civilian existance is a security concern to any established government
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reportedly-ends-b650-motherboard-chipset-production goodbye Promontory 21, welcome Promontory 21
AMD B650 chipset production ends, transition to B850 begins AMD has reportedly officially ended production and supply of its B650 chipset, marking the end of one of the most popular AM5 mainstream platforms. Motherboard vendors can no longer order B650 chips and are advised to transition fully to the newer B850 product line. According to […]
Ok I guess I am worry too much about what someone said. I won’t lose sleep over it
dont listen to sensationalist headlines or people who use fearmongering on any level
I am the security concern

you know what I recently found out? jimmy johns is not better than jersey mikes

jersey mikes is atrocious
better than jimmy johns
for a "fast food" sub, it's absolutely adequate
they use boars head don't theys
Jersey mikes is horrible
and they slice it right there
how else you gonna slice meat, in the parking lot?
I've been meaning to try firehouse subs
if I were Jimmy Johns perhaps I might
what a depressing looking sandwich
not even toasted 😔
its just so uncared for
firehouse is good I like their pastrami but they charge 2x as much for 1.25x better sub than jersey mikes
to make a jersey mikes sandwich you just put a slice of meat, a couple tomato slices, shredded lettuce, and a roll in a 1 gal ziploc bag and shake
I had a hot honey chicken bomb at Jersey's last week, and it was pretty tasty
no that's not how you make one
Honestly I fuck with Jimmy Johns, it hits the spot of a sub, I like cheap subs
jimmy johns costs more than jersey mikes and that's why it's unacceptable to me
also no offense but everytime I go to Jimmy John's there are people from Ohio in there
but I'm okay w/ that because a chunk of their overall profits goes towards first responders
its jersey dude wtf
It's snail edit he's just mad cause they don't call em grinders
bro... where I am from... you think I'd call food a grinder?
you're from a godless state
tell mike that my sub has no safe word
oh ya no for sure there bud gonna go down to the 'dega grab meself a hoagie there bud
Rutabega is a good global safeword
i think you're confusing philly with minnesota
ew
fuckin philly doesnt have bodegas
tell mike that my sub is ready for him
same thing Philly is just drunk
pepe you gotta stop the fiberglassin ship work
you've seen what philly does after winning a superbowl, we would never tolerate Tim Walz
you definitely didnt
ready thy spray paint
that board would be perfect to eat a jersey mikes sandwich on top of
I hate this trend of covering finned arrays with solid metal
like whaTS THE FUCKING POINT
everything in the E-ATX expansion area is useless
literally nothing that justifies E-ATX over ATX
where else they gonna write dumb shit
money
people have money and people want to spend money and it is only reasonable to provide them a way to spend their money
I'd rather buy a very expensive bottle of liquor over a motherboard that snobby
what's the actual point of this board
consumer boards don’t have enough IO to justify eATX but it looks cool
it's 4 dimm
chase the dragon man
and it's am5 so no pcie lanes where the eyes can see
its a rather pointless mobo
it’s just to look cool, that’s it
same as the asus extreme
hero and apex are both more practical than an extreme
Someone should buy one and spackle over the bottom PCIe slot
like literally drywall mud
lucky the dragon is looking mighty fine
then resell it and answer no questions
lucky the dragon better stop looking at me with those squinty fuckin eyes
he looks yummy
he would go hard in a jersey mikes sub
real
he knows a jersey white fish
i would like a lucky the dragon 5lb gummy
i want one of those statues linus got
I would like a lucky the dragon cooked like a fried duck
that way when i wake up at night i can just be scared of the giant lucky the dragon in my room
maybe i get one of those before an oled tv
duck fried in its own fat sounds banger tbh
no he would protect you he's nice
wtf is on his face
your prompt you tell me
yeah see there's the problem you said hoagie so it assumed it was a wet sandwich covered in dressing that gets all over your grey Eagles sweatshirt
Duck Confit
i read duck conflict at first
tell me I'm wrong tell me everyone in Philadelphia doesn't wear the same grey eagles sweatshirt and I'll call you a liar
can you generate a photo of pat gelsinger walking lisa su on a leash?
the fuck did i just come back to
and my mind immediately went to some arma 3 stupid mission about ducks in conflict
dragon eating a wet hoagie
bro u gotta pay for taht
running this locally or no
nope just french dish
Michael this isn't an 18+ server bud 
jersey mikes
with a little lucky the dragon interference
mostly michaels comment
showing us what he dreams about lmao
what did mike do to that sandwich
bayonne nj latexwich
paris new york technologies founder michael was posting some freaky requests in tc2
its a jersey white fish
wait wtf
oh it’s from jersey
yeah
its called jersey mikes
they have em along the whole east coast
I told Mike to take my sandwich into the back and have his way with it (Mike's way)
its not called "east coast mikes"
doesn’t mean they source all the food from jersey
...
if they did they’d fail the health inspection
so good
