[uncut kettle]

whos that

[fringe vigil]

i thought you was nigerian

[uncut kettle]

[frank zealot]

Self awareness with no attempt to change it ain't worth the paper these messages are written on

[uncut kettle]

i'm not nigerian

[fringe vigil]

[arctic bronze]

Looking at ur chat history, i didnt see shitposting unless it was deleted

[uncut kettle]

i deleted most of it

other mods did

[arctic bronze]

🤷‍♂️

[wraith steeple]

Also visited some extended family in the Gulf states and PlayStation was everywhere and this was due to how easy they were to pirate and such as piracy was very prominent as well as imports from East Asia with genuine PS from Japan and bootlegs from China. Then years later after moving to the west, I was awestruck to see PCs in households and then once I saw what my murican born cousins were doing and uncles with WCing.... The rest is history and how BassBone became who he is today

[frank zealot]

#peripherals

[uncut kettle]

#tech-chat-2

[frank zealot]

If you want to claim that, you can also read the part that says "keep it on topic"

Which you're not

Buying this headset,,,

[vestal granite]

noice

[uncut kettle]

thanks!!!

i got angels all around me

[vestal granite]

im not very good at 15s i think my 15s speed is lower than my 30s

[outer pilot]

Does any one know which pins I would put a paper clip in for an Apevia Spirit Rider?

It came with my prebuilt and I think it’s dead

[devout ridge]

google

[outer pilot]

Says it’s just the green and black wire

[devout ridge]

plug in the 24pin cable then short those two

[outer pilot]

Thanks

[quick spire]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RbNdBq this is absolutely everything im getting (buying soon) and at home I have a desk, 2 monitors, a screwdriver kit w a bunch of heads, and thats absolutely it (I got the moniotrs when my dad upgraded and got the associated cables asw) plz lmk if theres anything else no matter how small I need cause im prolly forgetting some small stuff

[devout ridge]

i ain’t trusting a strimmer cable with my 5090

[quick spire]

also the 3 fans i got im gonna swap with my aio fans that should work right?

[quick spire]

what are the risks?

[outer pilot]

I did the paper clip test and the psu is running, what is there to do now?

[vestal granite]

use it

[outer pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thinking-monkey-thinking-think-money-gif-9734025314392564509

[vestal granite]

wait no i should be clear about this actually
turn it off
then use the PSU as you would use a PSU

[devout ridge]

melting

[quick spire]

wait actually?

[vestal granite]

yes

[quick spire]

r stimmer cables that bad?

[outer pilot]

I’m just trying to solve my pc not turning on

[devout ridge]

the 12vhpwr connector is that bad

[quick spire]

i thought they would be good bc reputable brand

[vestal granite]

no but the plug is that bad

[quick spire]

ah but doesnt that risk come w all cables?

ive heard about how bad the connector is lol

[devout ridge]

adding additional cables inbetween only increases the risk

[quick spire]

will that cook my gpu?

[devout ridge]

might, might not

[quick spire]

would that be smth i can use warranty on?

cause now idk bout strimmer 😭

[outer pilot]

Despite Apevia being a bad brand the psu sure hasn’t keeled over yet

C+

[frank zealot]

Quality brand

[lucid vault]

@edgy laurel hey, I have windows 11 on a flash drive and I’m watching this LTT video on how to setup windows. Is there a way to see if they are included with windows? In the vid Linus said they usually are. also tysm for all the help yesterday

[edgy laurel]

if what is included?

[lucid vault]

hold up

LAN or network drivers I believe

[south shuttle]

it sounds like a brand that'd make crackers and snacks

[young void]

Unfortunately using windows instalation media alot of the time will have to get a separate usb stick and the wifi/lan drivers from the exact motherboard models website

[lucid vault]

Ok

[young void]

Sometimes certain motherboards manufacturers include a basic driver setup in the armory crate (asus)etc (usually i dont like the bloat but for basic drivers can help)

[lucid vault]

I have a few available USB’s too

[young void]

What's your motherboard exactly

[lucid vault]

Asrock B850 X WiFi r2.0 (I found this image also if it helps)

[edgy laurel]

he's trying to avoid the hiccup of being at the account creation screen that requires an internet connection

i've never run into this, but i'm always wired and never had a problem with network drivers working during install

more often than not its wifi users that run into issues

[quaint osprey]

@edgy laurel i’m having the same issue with my ssd again

[edgy laurel]

that sucks

[lucid vault]

yeah that’s me I believe

[young void]

Bypass nro to start windows locally was the goto

Or mslocal command now to just be able to get in

[edgy laurel]

yeah i actually just use my MS account so i'm not up to speed on which methods still work or not

if its really an issue you can just build the USB with rufus

[young void]

Adding your ms login after is reccomended

https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B850M-X WiFi/index.asp#Download

I see the lan driver but not the wifi im blind rn

[edgy laurel]

its there, mediatek wireless lan driver

[young void]

Mediatek wireless lan maybe

https://download.asrock.com/Drivers/All/WLAN/MediaTek_WLAN(v3.4.0.1304).zip

❤️ be sure to unzip and put it on the seperate usb

[edgy laurel]

funny, asrock now links directly to SignalRGB

[young void]

I mean if they partnered no need to reinvent the wheel, no qualm

[lucid vault]

Aight so I just put this unzipped into a usb, got it

[young void]

Then run on the specified motherboard/build yiss

[lucid vault]

which usb should i do first, i think im gonna boot from bios if thats ok

[young void]

You boot into windows usb and the windows instalation myte have a section to add wifi drivers

[edgy laurel]

if your intention was to have the drivers avaialble to manaully install during the install, just throw them on the install USB, not a seperate one

[young void]

Or I can post the mslocal command video so you can just access windows run the usb then login

[edgy laurel]

i mean I guess you can do it that way but its not necessary

[young void]

Whatevers clever sometimes it let's you just add it at the add wifi screen

[lucid vault]

umm im gonna boot into windows and go from there

[young void]

If needed ill drop this then gonna get some confefefef

https://youtu.be/TVJ3gGqkMak?si=cbnmQg2NiBTmfkYO

[lucid vault]

I’m locked in

[young void]

Yup then just kinda hang out make a sammy

Once in let windows do all of its updates

If running nvidia download their app and let it express install the latest gpu driver. And turn off "startup apps" you dont need

For AMD use Andrenaline via their official site

[lucid vault]

ok

I can unplug the windows usb now right

Also I don’t have a passkey

[frank cypress]

z690 apex and 13700kf for 600 cad hmmm

isnt the 690 kinda poo compared to the z790 tho?

[shell void]

yeh z690 boards are buns

[frank cypress]

[lucid vault]

Nevermind this

[edgy laurel]

shouldn't be seeing this unless you selected at some point to use a passkey

[lucid vault]

I was too scared to click cancel at first but I did and logged in another way

[merry stirrup]

unless ux*

[shell void]

dam that $220 5060Ti was a good deal

8GB yeah womp womp but $220

cheap 5.0x4 boot drive coming soon perchance

[frank cypress]

UX?

[edgy laurel]

user experience

[frank cypress]

someone is selling a 200 dollar 5060 here

cad

[merry stirrup]

unify X

[edgy laurel]

oh

[frank cypress]

ah

[merry stirrup]

only z690 board i know of besides something like dark (but thats bad for other reasons, bios) that can certifiably do 8k

[frank cypress]

they won it from the geforce summer giveaway but they have a better card alr

[frank cypress]

me when no updates

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[frank cypress]

(cant even support 14th gen iirc)

[merry stirrup]

i think 13th gen support was a year late LOL

and done by not evga

[shell void]

XDDD

it's so funny to me when motherboard sellers like "(insert catastrophic problem here), but otherwise it works fantastic!"

[pure garnet]

i didnt even know they had a z690 apex

[shell void]

and they expect several hundred dollars still

[frank cypress]

its fucked but it works great otherwise :D

[merry stirrup]

lmfao

[merry stirrup]

yeah its honestly not very good

[pure garnet]

is that a z790 apex in your pic michael

[merry stirrup]

looks like it yes

its an encore

[pure garnet]

it's beyond destroyed and unsuable, $450 please

[shell void]

z690 unify x for $200 with a broken pcie slot and ram slot

[merry stirrup]

200$?!

[shell void]

you can use one stick of ram and no gpu bro it's stellar

[frank cypress]

5 Pence and a handshake but I spit on my hand first

[merry stirrup]

yeah ill take a 100$ b760m mortar with better memory topology instead

[pure garnet]

okay the unify is a clean board

[merry stirrup]

(z790 mpower)

[pure garnet]

like it wouldn't ram oc well but

it's clean

[merry stirrup]

it does oc ram well

im not sure if its that one or the tiny unify but one of them actually do 8k

its the only z690 board that someone would buy that would do 8k

[wraith steeple]

MEG Unify is clean for sure

[pure garnet]

"half the board is dead, no other issues"

[shell void]

anything other than an apex encore is dead to me at this point

[pure garnet]

yeah alr

[frank cypress]

5 morbillion dollars for an msi board

[shell void]

tachyon X is a good board too but i dont want eatx

[merry stirrup]

i dont think anyone should buy anything but an apex encore for lga 1700 ram oc

theyre unfortunately the cheapest best option at something that can kinda do a ram frequency

[pure garnet]

if the z990 ocf is way cheaper than z990 apex mayb

[merry stirrup]

youll still need a significantly above average chip

[pure garnet]

otherwise yeah i just want an apex next time

[merry stirrup]

i think so too

[pure garnet]

ocf missing a couple basic things for me

[shell void]

oh i meant for z790 specifically

[merry stirrup]

we get apex and snail swaps to ocf

[shell void]

id probably buy a z890 unify x if i went arrowlake

i like msi uefi

[merry stirrup]

thats freak shit

[pure garnet]

no dual color power led annoys me

[merry stirrup]

what does that even mean

[frank cypress]

[pure garnet]

light on awake, light off sleep

[shell void]

i dont even plug in power led xd

[frank cypress]

oh I forgot they changed it

[pure garnet]

instead i have the stupid blinking beam when i sleep

[merry stirrup]

unplug it

[pure garnet]

i have to buy a splitter

[frank cypress]

I was thinking of it on my X570

[merry stirrup]

Z890 ux is geniunely the worst looking oc board ive seen

[pure garnet]

the y40 is one central thing

[merry stirrup]

i am actually not sorry

[shell void]

eat my foot

[pure garnet]

i'd get the white apex if it wasn't $200 more than the ocf

[frank cypress]

real

[pure garnet]

my case is black and white i could be fine with it

[shell void]

i dont think it's pretty but it looks less offensive than the ocf

z890 hero is the prettiest z890 board but im not paying $500+ for 4 dimm

[merry stirrup]

why triangle

idk man it just looks bad i wont lie

[frank cypress]

holy fuck ocf is actually hideous

[pure garnet]

bro floppa we got the king bob motherboard i dont think we can call it ugly

[merry stirrup]

i think id take the ocf over this bro

the ocf's hideousness is hidden by our gpus

[shell void]

z790 apex encore is the single greatest consumer platform motherboard ever made imo

[merry stirrup]

cant hide the triangle of doom

[shell void]

the only thing i dont love about it is that it has 2.5gb intel lan

[pure garnet]

one day you will find one in fully working condition for $300 and be back to intel

[shell void]

with a 10gb nic itd be basically a flawless board

[frank cypress]

nah bro but does it have ai snatch /s

[merry stirrup]

im looking for them more than him to snipe one before me

[frank cypress]

ai top wins

[merry stirrup]

i still want z790 8k im not giving up on that

[frank cypress]

[merry stirrup]

i will go through fucking 3 z790 2 dimm boards to do it

[wraith steeple]

AI bubble is basically .com bubble 2.0

[merry stirrup]

and 2 cpus

[pure garnet]

im still at 8k lol

[frank cypress]

I do love how ridiculously sized the ai top boards are

[merry stirrup]

nine rn

[pure garnet]

haven't really felt like getting 8600 setup

[pure garnet]

new fortnite season is fun so im gaming with the gaming pc instead of running karhu

[shell void]

the ol "frick you, EATX for no reason" approach

[frank cypress]

this is stupid as fuck

[merry stirrup]

moved on to starting to tune the cores

[frank cypress]

im a big fan

[merry stirrup]

yesterday night i verified 4.8 ecores at a 50 millivolt offset

[shell void]

U9 285K + 4x64GB 6400MT/s ECC + W880 AI TOP would be a sick system

[pure garnet]

nah it gets worse

[merry stirrup]

idk what volts that ends up to being but thats within intel limit so i dont care

[pure garnet]

like

[frank cypress]

the godlike?

[pure garnet]

what even is this

[frank cypress]

ah the aorus one

[merry stirrup]

yeah i juust cant do this

and on a 4 dimm motherboard

[pure garnet]

GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Xtreme AI TOP

[merry stirrup]

why must you laugh at me gigabyte

[shell void]

if it was 1dpc id say it was extraordinarily based

[merry stirrup]

me too cause its a geniune full cover board

[frank cypress]

at least the reg gigabyte one looks alright

😭

[merry stirrup]

i really only like full cover boards

[pure garnet]

gigabyte including the ram fan on a 4 dimm board

[frank cypress]

based based based

[pure garnet]

meanwhile asrock didn't give me anything

ocf 👎

[merry stirrup]

my z790-e is probably my most beautiful board from like purely aesthetics perspective

i really liked my aorus ultra

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[pure garnet]

bricks for sale

[frank cypress]

it would be funny if they were all broken

[merry stirrup]

not quite full cover but this board was just genuinely beautiful in my rig

[shell void]

this is a good community service, itll make my enemies in valorant more shit because theyll be playing with cinder blocks

[edgy laurel]

i'll take them all

[pure garnet]

i like the z690 more

[merry stirrup]

thats valid

[pure garnet]

good looking board, memory speeds suck though

[merry stirrup]

i bet

[pure garnet]

and the top nvme slot is useless because it takes lanes from the x16

[merry stirrup]

boards with a power on button instantly get like +5 p[oints from me

[pure garnet]

master had that

if the master was made by anyone but gigabyte it'd be fire

[frank cypress]

mogged by b760 meow

[merry stirrup]

might actually be true

sister pc

[wraith steeple]

Must be nice being young

[merry stirrup]

stole her bdie

[wraith steeple]

[young void]

For scienceee

[merry stirrup]

well it’s my bdie but i swapped it with something more garbage and deserving of a 10700 non-k

the whole thing is mine actually, fuck her she didn’t pay a dime

[young void]

We do what we must

[wraith steeple]

I won't go into too much detail, but IRL is going to have my hands tied pretty soon (like way more than usual)

[merry stirrup]

she doesn’t care what i do to it tbh

[lucid vault]

Windows is installed, and drivers up are to date guys

[merry stirrup]

i just keep it kind of up to spec

it’s a 10700 and a 6650xt

[young void]

Valid my sister's probs wouldn't either xD

[merry stirrup]

she plays stardew valley a whole sometimes

that’s why she gets 16GB only cause she doesn’t need more

and on an extremely debloated w11 iot ltsc install cause she was previously on a ryzen 5 1400

[young void]

If it plays everything they enjoy cant complain. Snails been on today?

[merry stirrup]

haven’t seen him but haven’t been up for long

i think he’s busy doing house stuff

[young void]

Hopefully theyre doing alright just a busy one or smth

[wraith steeple]

I can't afford to time wise unfortunately

[merry stirrup]

[young void]

Hopefully the worst is over. Im 2 weeks in and mostly just ear pressure and sinus lameness

[merry stirrup]

i have lived here 5 years

[merry stirrup]

i had just turned 13 when we moved and i’m 19 now

makes sense to me

so yeah like 8 years

[wraith steeple]

frick you and your 2 gigabit internet

[low sorrel]

watcha give him?

[merry stirrup]

5300G, the B350M Bazooka, 32gb of some i think rev.n garbage but not that bad, my d31, power supply

told homie its up to him to get a gpu for it

[low sorrel]

wtf is a 5300g

[merry stirrup]

5300G.

[low sorrel]

they made those?

[haughty monolith]

Download cs2 instead its so much more fun

[merry stirrup]

yes

[karmic folio]

both mid

[merry stirrup]

oem only, homie had it from someones HP computer he replaced

[haughty monolith]

Real

[merry stirrup]

not bad

overclocked the mem and igpu on it

[low sorrel]

do you not have random gpus sitting around

[swift lantern]

Yall think I can put a screen graphics design tablet on a vesa mount? Im lacking table space for a proper stand. My other option is to put my main screen on a monitor stand and use it as a second monitor except when I am gaming

[merry stirrup]

and pboed cpu

[merry stirrup]

no + too expensive to just give away

i already gave said homie himself his first good rig

family gets free gpus, otherwise i make the homies pay for just that if im giving them a pc

i dont typically buy many crap gpus regardless, if im buying gpus its as an upgrade

[low sorrel]

i have a 980ti and a 1070 sitting around somewhere

i bought shit off marketplace and the guy just gave it to me

this is basically any modern gpu IO

I can just order one sometime

[young void]

Both hdmi/display ports and cables should be into the gpu yuss

Got it

[young void]

Motherboard slot is for troubleshooting on applicable cpu(most will never use)

[edgy laurel]

its his secondary display. if motherboard has HDMI, your CPU usa an iGPU and the iGPU is enabled, in a pinch you can use that

[zenith fog]

my gpu hotspot reached 117c

[edgy laurel]

really just depends what you're doing with it to say if you spent too much on a CPU. probably did regardless with only a 9070xt

If you have a usecase thats going to benefit you greatly from 16-cores, by all mean. Otherwise its an unnecessary expense for gaming if thats the best GPU you can afford.

Saved budget should be spent on a better one and less on the CPU

[topaz veldt]

Yeah weird combo

Another GN video

[shell void]

9070XT is the best GPU in the world, wym?

Nvidia is evil

[low sorrel]

[edgy laurel]

they've gotta coordinate this

i love how one is literally half the length

[topaz veldt]

Yup

So much snark in GN

So distracting

[merry stirrup]

yeah bro it doesnt matter the first time that the msrp was fake and it took almost a year for them to come down to it

@pallid marsh how is your no longer non unsupported GPU?

[vale cosmos]

i was chilling because linux ezpz

[hoary hatch]

Oh they are basically MSRP now

Too bad 9070xt at $620 is no longer very interesting

[shell void]

9070 XT would be interesting at $450

today right this second, not 1-2 years from now in a clearance sale

[pallid marsh]

it is supported

it always was

[brisk jolt]

Yeah about that, we’ll wait for our asses to get whooped by 50 super

[shell void]

yeah theyll wait for the 5070 Super 18GB to come out before adjusting pricing because theyre goobers

because 5070S makes 9070 and 9070XT completely redundant

[pallid marsh]

did you see the achievement i got a couple days ago?

[low sorrel]

Yeah

[pallid marsh]

took allot of hard work

high on life was too short of a game

[leaden dawn]

This is why we arent loyal to brands. meanwhile linux drivers supporting cards from 2012

[pure garnet]

and glibc breaks binaries so

[brisk jolt]

sounds like an achievement what people who love jigjig st in cyberpunk would get

[pure garnet]

operating system is a tool

[frank zealot]

Does Linux do game-ready drivers for 2012 cards?

[pallid marsh]

unlike AI thats a real person that can take over jobs

[pure garnet]

amdgpu is maintained by the community

so the selling point is you can do amds work instead

[leaden dawn]

At least it works.

[pure garnet]

i don’t think that’s a great argument

the nvidia driver works just fine too

[pallid marsh]

after they took a few months to fix it

[frank zealot]

The driver that works on the card still exists too.

What's your point

[edgy laurel]

Remember, people took this news to mean that the cards will stop working.

They can't read.

[pure garnet]

i know the cards still work but it’s still a dumbass decision by amd

[leaden dawn]

Definitely what Im implying yes. Big navi will be bricked

[frank zealot]

People always think dumb shit.

But ending the 6000 series is premature

[edgy laurel]

maybe, maybe not. we're not in the boardroom with the business projections able to make that call

they have info that tells them what does and doesn't make sense, we just have gamer sadness

[pure garnet]

i see the early driver cutoff as a sign of low confidence with their products so i’m unlikely to buy one again

i mean granted i wouldn’t buy one anyway because the nvidia card is just better

[frank zealot]

This is a very reasonable take

[edgy laurel]

Unfortunate that you got that out of the news that didn't say that.

[shell void]

this is the result of amd not investing into raytracing and machine learning features at the same time as nvidia

[brisk jolt]

nvidia took initiative- AMD did jackshit

[pure garnet]

i mean nvidia managed to keep pascal and maxwell in the same tree as turing fine

[frank zealot]

Or even a generation later. Amd took a while to get anywhere

[pure garnet]

maybe even kepler but idk the date range for that one

[wraith steeple]

Novideo vs AyyMD

[pallid marsh]

who here had this happen to them?

[frank zealot]

700 series is long since deprecated.

900 iwas only still going since it's almost the same as 1000 series for support. (And again 1600 series)

The 1600 had very short support in comparison

[brittle trellis]

The effort they put into the drivers in general is reason enough imo... People had random stability issues for years, and still do to a lesser extent

[shell void]

it's just the featureset for me, i didnt have major driver issues with my 6900xt

[brittle trellis]

Intel came into the game and threw everything into making the drivers good

[frank zealot]

I'm hoping this continues

[pallid marsh]

i knew intel would have bad drivers at the start but i never though it wouldve been that bad

[frank zealot]

I wasn't surprised, but the rate of improvement was hella shocking

[pure garnet]

yeah i wasn’t surprised at all

the igpu driver didn’t take as much work as a dgpu one does

[leaden dawn]

how do you make a card like that, and create software that leaves soo much performance on the table

[pure garnet]

because it’s hard?

[lone scarab]

tuff

[frank zealot]

Spoken like someone who thinks driver development is easy

[leaden dawn]

Obviously.. Its just wild how far ahead the hardware was compared

[pure garnet]

it really wasn’t though

[merry stirrup]

id end myself if i had to make drivers but im still going to make fun of amd more than intel

[pure garnet]

even the b580 right now is a waste of die space vs the 5060

[shell void]

nvidia is a multi trillion dollar company and the 50 series was barely usable for like four months after launch

[frank zealot]

Vs companies that have been making gpu driers for 30 years?

[merry stirrup]

totally why i didn buy one

[pure garnet]

aren’t the a770 dies like a 3070 worth of silicon

[merry stirrup]

totally...totally..

[leaden dawn]

Sorry Im not allowed to have opinions and people dont know how sarcasm works so Imma dip, yall are lame lmao

[pure garnet]

i saw that somewhere

[shell void]

it's ~400mm which is similar to 5080

[gilded quail]

[pure garnet]

yeah so not great

[wraith steeple]

حياك الله

You have reached redemption

[pure garnet]

i like arc, i bought an a750 for that reason but

[edgy laurel]

@shell void ?

[pure garnet]

it was definitely a learning experience

[edgy laurel]

i feel like michael had the full gamut of issues between 5070ti and 5090

[pallid marsh]

you need to have a degree or certification now. you can blame china

[edgy laurel]

earlier this year

[shell void]

yeah i had that

i had just about every driver issue imaginable on my 5070Ti on earlier drivers

[frank zealot]

Assembly level code experience required

[shell void]

it would take like 60 seconds for windows to sign in, and then the screen would go black 3 or 4 times before i could continue on the desktop

windows stuttered, videos were corrupted

gpu boost broke

[gilded quail]

50 series drivers are so bad

[pure garnet]

try installing one that isn’t 6 months old then

[edgy laurel]

are they? or is that old info

[pure garnet]

i’m on latest with 0 issues

[frank zealot]

What I don't get about it is that it was basically the same arch as 4000, which worked correctly.

Why were 50 series so broken?

[pure garnet]

literally the same card michael had act up on launch ones

[shell void]

it's a totally new core architecture

people just call it ada 2.0 because it's the same node and not a huge performance jump per die area

the display engine is totally new too

[pallid marsh]

but thankfully you paid Nvidia to test it out for us

[shell void]

i imagine the 60 series cards will reuse the same display engine because people dont need hdmi 2.2 yet

[pure garnet]

my tv only has 2.0

[frank zealot]

Even 2.1 is uncommon still

[pure garnet]

surprisingly the monitor i ordered has it

[shell void]

maybe if youre buying a samsung crystal tv for $200 on the clearance cart

[pure garnet]

but i guess you’d need it

[shell void]

but even $600 hisense tvs have hdmi 2.1 and 4k165hz

[pure garnet]

my s5 is a 2024 year release so did it even exist back then

[frank zealot]

Yes

Good 2024 models had 2.1

[pure garnet]

yeah mines entry so cost savings then

[pallid marsh]

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/aoc-27-qd-oled-qhd-240hz-gaming-monitor-black/JX9GSKP9H6 what yalls though on qd oled

[shell void]

hdmi 2.1 tvs started popping up in 2019

[pure garnet]

grape juice is mid

[shell void]

if youre willing to control your room lighting, and be careful while cleaning the screen then qd-oled is nice

but i wouldnt recommend it to a normie

[pure garnet]

low res panel

[pallid marsh]

my basement is dark 24/7 im a goblin

and i use monitor wipes

[shell void]

youre not a normie so that's covered, and if youre usually in the dark then qd-oled is the best display tech in monitor/tvs

id go for 2160p instead though

[pallid marsh]

but then i would want a stronger gpu then a 5070 super :/

[pure garnet]

pony up

[pallid marsh]

im too cheap

[shell void]

naw 5070S has 18GB thatll do nicely for upscaled 2160p

[pure garnet]

so don’t buy an oled

you can get a 1440p monitor for $120

[edgy laurel]

advertising 2.1 doesn't mean anything unless the bandwidth is verified at 48Gb/s

[pallid marsh]

nah i want oled or mini led i got to use that money share certificate interest

[brisk jolt]

6090

[hoary hatch]

Thanks HDMI forum!

There was a brief moment that HDMI 2.1 meant something

[shell void]

miniled monitors can do silly bright hdr gaming, but they look like crap with local dimming enabled just poking around the desktop and such

it's not like a macbook where the LD is so good that it's enabled 24/7 regardless of whether youre in HDR

[pure garnet]

have you seen the local dimming on my monitor

on a black scene it looks like it has 6 zones

[merry stirrup]

😭

[pure garnet]

funniest thing ever i’ll permanently disable

[merry stirrup]

idk i was gonna get a miniled i hope the tech advances further

[shell void]

local dimming 🔥 (controlling the 8 led strips along the bottom)

[pure garnet]

unironically yeah 😭

[pallid marsh]

you got the samsung frame pro" ?

[pure garnet]

no i would never buy a samsung

[merry stirrup]

the one i was looking at before oled had 372 dimmming zones or something, which seems low

[pure garnet]

the oled i want is 1300 so

i will have to save my dollars

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Swift-Gaming-Monitor-PG32UCDP/dp/B0D7NNK43H?th=1

it is peak though

[pallid marsh]

thats oled tv money

[shell void]

u can keep ur fuzzy screen bro that's all u

[pure garnet]

i thought it was the glossy

i hate the asus naming scheme

[shell void]

yeh the oled monitor naming schemes from msi and asus are both so bad

you have to be chronically online to know what the differences are

[pure garnet]

with a purchase that large i’d be running it by someone anyway

hell it took a couple days deliberation on the 4k ips even

[shell void]

when does that thing arrive to your domicile

[pure garnet]

tuesday yeah

which is perfect since i got scheduled for monday and wednesday

[pallid marsh]

did they put Vaseline on the screen?

[low sorrel]

Can't you get basically the same thing for 800

[pure garnet]

not that i’m aware of no

glossy woled 32” 4k240 with dual mode is what i want to upgrade to

[low sorrel]

I mean I'm seeing that for 1100 cad

So presumably it should be the same in the US right?

Right?

[shell void]

XG32UCWMG is $1100usd

it's only sold through newegg and it's usually backordered

very limited supply

[pure garnet]

i probably got seo’d into the matte one then

i will force dlss balanced in ffxiv when the 4k monitor comes

should be equal performance or a bit better

[low sorrel]

Never mind it's semi matte

Ok why the fuck does opening it in a browser increase the res

Discord wtf

[green marsh]

because discord is a preview

[brittle trellis]

If the app loaded every image in full detail it'd make the ram usage freaks cry even more

So the previews are compressed and cached

[low sorrel]

No but when I click on the photo it should load in full res no?

[brittle trellis]

It'll generally load a less compressed one then

[lethal topaz]

my discord preview looks fine for that image

[brittle trellis]

Discord serves a lot of images.... It makes no sense for them to serve the originals unless absolutely needed, which is where you open it in the browser

[lethal topaz]

web vs discord preview... i see no difference

[indigo walrus]

Same. Discord app on desktop loads the EXACT same image as when I open it in a web browser.

Even through the compressed view I'm looking at this in I can see a difference

Aliexpress tracking is getting absurd... and it didn't even arrive yet 😄

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel I opened an RMA, but still testing some thing on this ASUS 5090 TUF OC. I think I am maybe on to something....

But take a look at GPU voltage at the same time compared to mobo +12v voltage.

[topaz veldt]

yeah china post and shit is nuts

"Going down the hallway to the other office"
"Guy was eating donut going back to other office now"

I don't think any of that movement is real

[green marsh]

and all this to get some stupid watch bands plus a M.2 SATA adapter, so i can remove the LSI HBA from my server for some more power saving (i suspect another 5-10W)

[topaz veldt]

OK yeah so... I am on to something for sure

Here's my 5090 Master Ice in my 285K PC while running Furmark

So today I need to test A) swap a 5090 Master Ice in for this 5090 TUF OC and see if the 12vhpwr voltage readings change with the same 12vhpwr cable B) swap the 12vhpwr cable

[green marsh]

check if the PSU is single or multi rail

[livid flame]

Wouldn’t matter if it’s 12vhpwr native at gpu

And psu

[green marsh]

but the minor voltage difference could be explained by multiple PSU rails

[topaz veldt]

Its not 12vhpwr native

But also, both the 5090 Master Ice and 5090 TUF OC are on the same 1500W PSU just in different machiens

So the 5090 TUF OC is measuring as low as 11.702v via HWiNFO 64 while the Master Ice is mostly 11.94-11.95v under 600W Furmark load

Follow along w/ me though... Right now the 5090 Master Ice is doing 37-50W load at idle...

its current 12VHPWR is 12.26v

While idling 50W the 5090 TUF OC measures only 11.92v

[brisk jolt]

@turbid locust time for you to show ur TUFness

[topaz veldt]

No need, this one is not correct for certain

Pulled the TUF loaded in a 5090 Master Ice

[brisk jolt]

weird

[topaz veldt]

?

[brisk jolt]

tuf def isnt acting normal

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

So now I need to figure out if it's the cable power supply or the GPU

Looking like the GPU...

[brisk jolt]

GL with it

[topaz veldt]

Alright... yeah this is it

[young void]

Fun times, I believe in youuu

[raven citrus]

im thinking of upgrading from my rtx 2060 should i save up for the rx 6900xt or the 6800xt for around 350-400

[pure grail]

isnt that a bit high for those

the 6800xt at least

[raven citrus]

the 6800xt is more like 250-300

[edgy laurel]

Hopefully your feeling good and just a checkup the winter cold bugs been spreading lately, nasty business

[topaz veldt]

Kids got me up at 5 bro I waited a little

There's no need for Mac to test, my ASUS 5090 TUF OC is just ... fucked

[edgy laurel]

figured it might just be nice to know if his TUF exhibits the same behavior and doesn't crash

[topaz veldt]

I'd expect it to be fine - look at this artifacting I noticed

[edgy laurel]

and thats fully stock

[young void]

Just the volts being off snails i can peek mine once the misses is up? Smth smth wire resistance maybe but depends what im looking at exactly

Reminds me of when jayz was messing with it and noticing some variations

[topaz veldt]

100% stock - no afterburner, no waterblock

[topaz veldt]

Nah but here's the thing - when this GPU is in, 12VHPWR hwinfo64 readout is 12.0-12.2v

same cable, same psu, same system, different GPU

[young void]

Right right

[topaz veldt]

put the 5090 TUF OC in its 11.9v and dips to 11.6-11.7v under load

[young void]

Mmmm I see i see, dual bios?

[topaz veldt]

Yes, but have tried both

[young void]

Gotcha, ill double check my zotac solid oc and the msi gaming trio in a few for keks once the misses is up and out of the room xD

[topaz veldt]

This is how it fails @edgy laurel

Its almost always shader related imho

You want to see something insane?

[young void]

Seems quite a few have some issues with it i cant get bf6 at the moment but smth about it not allocating proper for many ive seen

[topaz veldt]

yeah except if I put the 5090 Master Ice in... no problem

I am lucky having multiple same GPUs - but yeah, crashes every game on TUF OC... swap Master Ice, no driver change no anything change, games for hours

[young void]

Very curious

[topaz veldt]

I am half tempted to hit up MC and get another GPU

Then figure out this ASUS RMA and... whatever sell it keep it I dunno

It needs to be a TUF OC because I have the waterblock for it - so I don't want to get an Astral or anything

[young void]

Thats fair some tough choices im browsing bios revisions im not finding nothing that'd point to effecting gpus and im sure youre on the later revisions. So I got nothing off the top to check

[topaz veldt]

I am on super current

Not going to lie... I started looking at doing another build 9800X3D custom loop lol... so that i have 9950X3D custom loop, 285K custom loop, 9800X3D custom loop.... so no matter what I have one machine up lol

[steel stream]

oh the humanity

[topaz veldt]

yeah first world whining here

[steel stream]

sucks about your GPU though, no fun at all

[topaz veldt]

Meh yeah

[steel stream]

Did you end up buying one from MC? wasn't around much this weekend

[topaz veldt]

Nah i didn't get a chance - I am going away, I am actually thinking of going to MC in Miami lol

Put deposit down on patio job

[steel stream]

oh nice

[topaz veldt]

That's what is "standard"

varying colors, etc. but that style

But my wife wants to upgrade it to stone veneer

something like this

how much do you think that changes things

[steel stream]

idk anything about patios but I would guess 10-15K

[topaz veldt]

lol close

Just changing the sitting wall behind and the fire pit to that stone vaneered facing is like $10k

because its no longer block w/ mortar its formed concrete with wet-set stone

😭

[steel stream]

jeez

[whole coral]

Oh yeah my mom is doubling the size of the patio

Not sure when construction will happen but we will do it

[steel stream]

5nail give me 5K and access to a quarry and I'll get it done

I do gotta say I think your wife is right, I like the veneer

[young void]

Was just gonna say toss me a pickaxe a shovel and a local quarry address akn was thinking to loud

[whole coral]

Small patio

There’s enough grass on this yard so we can definitely expand it

[steel stream]

real life minecraft!

[whole coral]

Also this mudroom needs to be redone

We more recently got a new front door

[steel stream]

knight to E5

[whole coral]

My mom was finally able to pay off $30,000 for the roof and chimney replacement so we can do these projects now

The plywood and shingles had to be replaced. The roof was in worse condition than we thought. Leaks galore.

[steel stream]

We got our roof replaced for free like 4 years ago now I think, huge storm rolled through and insurance or smth covered the dmg

[whole coral]

My mom also wants to somehow fit a new driveway in the yard so she can back in and then go forward out onto the street.

Not sure how that is gonna work lmao

[lone scarab]

30k for roof is crazy

[devout ridge]

that's pretty reasonable for a complete roof replacement

[lone scarab]

idk bro thats so much

[whole coral]

It was plywood + shingles for the whole roof and chimney. So yeah

This house is small though. 824 square feet

[lone scarab]

thats like 4 years of my income

[devout ridge]

have you ever had to replace a roof?

[lone scarab]

or 10 years of savings

[lone scarab]

no

[devout ridge]

30k is a perfectly reasonable amount to pay for a roof

[lone scarab]

eh

[lone scarab]

welp

[whole coral]

September 2023

[oak vector]

Idk I rent that’s my landlords problem 🔥

[lone scarab]

restal is ok

but you dont really have the property

so i prefer to buy own home

[devout ridge]

Rental is all that most of the upcoming population can afford

[lone scarab]

trye

[oak vector]

it has its perks
Especially cos of the house im in

[devout ridge]

most people coming into the workforce won’t be buying houses anytime soon

[lone scarab]

for apartment that ok

[oak vector]

like.
So many things I don’t have to worry about

[whole coral]

Homes here are expensive lol

This 824 square feet 2 bedroom one bathroom home is above $500K

[devout ridge]

holy fuck

[oak vector]

Yeah last time I checked my current house was about 1.2mil

[devout ridge]

where do yall live

a house like that would be 200k in my area

[whole coral]

This home is right in the city so I guess it makes sense why it’s more expensive

[devout ridge]

please don’t answer that with any specifics

[topaz veldt]

I just paid $37,000 for a roof

[oak vector]

and it’s 3 bedroom
1 study
2 bathroom
2 car

[whole coral]

Also this home has undergone major renovations

[lone scarab]

my dads friend works at a cement factory and his boss gave him cement for the price he sells it for and he said he saved a lot (idk exact numbers but he said a lot)

his house cost him 50k

[oak vector]

Rent is about 1000us a fortnight for my house

[lone scarab]

great

fortnight

[topaz veldt]

It was liek $37k for roof, $32k for siding

[keen wigeon]

Yep roof is an expensive bitch

[topaz veldt]

patio looking to be like $85k

[lone scarab]

crazy

[topaz veldt]

@keen wigeon you got any experience with Sonus?

[keen wigeon]

A what

[whole coral]

Living room and kitchen inside this home

[topaz veldt]

sorry Sonos lol

[whole coral]

Would say it looks average

[oak vector]

Actually pretty cute I wouldn’t mind that place

[keen wigeon]

Oh no, I don't have the sophisticated tastes to support sonos lol

[topaz veldt]

Doing outdoor audio, trying to figure out which system to go with

[oak vector]

My house is extremely average
But it’s in an old money suburb with 5 private schools nearby so it’s worth a heap

[keen wigeon]

I have a rivian camp speaker... so that's close I think?

or those rock speakers those work pretty good

[topaz veldt]

looking at this one

[whole coral]

I’m not sure how much the major renovation was but I think it was like $200K. Maybe a little over

[lone scarab]

200k is crazy

[keen wigeon]

we have two sorta sad B&O speakers in the ceiling of our covered patio that are wired up for a small receiver.

[lone scarab]

idk how much building a new house of that size would coat here
