well it is a 6 year old platform, who knows what parts are in it (as in PSU, case, motherboard)

dusty lotus
#

i assume thats slovakia

green marsh
hollow garden
#

maybe if i went ryzen instead of intel

dusty lotus
#

older ryzen isnt good

green marsh
#

9600kf is 80 euros, 2060 is 110-150 euros or so. So it's up to you to decide if you value the RAM, storage, PSU and case the remaining 70-110 euros

hollow garden
#

decent ram will set back like 30-40

dusty lotus
#

innit

hollow garden
#

case easily 30

#

psu around 40

dusty lotus
#

i paid 60 eur for the 1650

hollow garden
#

yeah they are pricy

dusty lotus
#

worth every cent

hollow garden
#

the rtx 3070 ti is a good price

dusty lotus
#

my main wasnt a big bargain though

hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

1250 as far as i remember

hollow garden
#

Around 250ish

dusty lotus
#

no i didnt mistype any numbers

hollow garden
#

lol

dusty lotus
#

around 1250

hollow garden
#

u paid 1250 for a rtx 3070 ti?

dusty lotus
#

no

hollow garden
#

i was about to say

dusty lotus
#

for a brick inside my pc

hollow garden
#

i could of gave u it for free

#

i have loads of bricks

dusty lotus
#

this brick can render 4k

hollow garden
#

my brick can smash 4k what u mean

dusty lotus
hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

brick

hollow garden
#

this one right here is the RTX 5090 ti super oc edition with 48gb vram

dusty lotus
#

xtx owners curse at me

hollow garden
#

185% faster than the rtx 5090 ti

hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

it will cost more now

hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

not in production and 40 series got up in price

hollow garden
#

around below 800

dusty lotus
#

800 uk dollars is 900 euro

hollow garden
#

uk dollars lol

dusty lotus
#

i bought it before 50 series released

green marsh
hollow garden
#

Anyone want a 5090 build for 3.5k

green marsh
#

when i was buying my 4080 Super, the cheapest 4080S was 1080 euros and cheapest 7900XTX was 1020 euros or so

dusty lotus
#

cheapest 4080s was 1100

#

most expensive was 1600

hollow garden
#

all this talk about 4080s and im abotu to buy a 2060 super

dusty lotus
#

xtx was for 900 though

hollow garden
#

think i need to move to a diff chat too rich for me

dusty lotus
#

i picked nvidia because well, nvidia

green marsh
dusty lotus
#

i even got the special looking one

green marsh
hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

absolute brick looking ass

#

green marsh

#

hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

i love this thing

#

it looks like a brick

#

and absolutely no rgb

#

because fuck unicorn vomit

hollow garden
#

@dusty lotus what one is best bang for buck

dusty lotus
green marsh
dusty lotus
#

1060 but its ok

#

next is the 9400 build

#

1660 is well

green marsh
dusty lotus
#

the 2060 and 1660 builds

hollow garden
dusty lotus
#

although the 10400 build has more future upgrades

green marsh
dusty lotus
#

i vote the 10400

hollow garden
#

thing is with the i5 10400f

#

is 65 quid cheaper

#

and upgrade path is much better

green marsh
#

well not really

hollow garden
#

gpu tho

#

1060 6gb

dusty lotus
#

1060 is fine until 2026

hollow garden
#

i can go for the i9-11900K as a upgrade for the cpu

dusty lotus
#

if the board supports more power pins

hollow garden
#

cpu i can get for like 120 quid

green marsh
#

dammit, i shouldn't buy stuff, but it's so tempting to buy an Acer N150 barebone for 146 euros. I can add my own storage and RAM to replace the Ivy bridge HTPC i use

dusty lotus
#

my pc is such a sleeper

#

all that power inside a black box with no rgb

#

and the radiator hidden behind a front mesh

#

Hello right now i have a 1080ti an i7-10700 and 32gb of ddr4 ram i want to upgrade my cpu and gpu is there any recommendations? ( i play battlefield 6 , dayz and cs2)

edgy laurel
#

Most are Channel Well, Great Wall and HEC

edgy laurel
steel stream
steel stream
edgy laurel
#

Given no other context, might as well

gaunt vigil
steel stream
#

you can maybe squeeze a 5090 into there

edgy laurel
gaunt vigil
#

Yea i guess

#

I have heard 5060 ti 16gb is good for me

edgy laurel
#

Unfortunate. CPU upgrade requires a new motherboard, nothing on that socket is worth its price as a real "upgrade".

#

You're not going to have enough for a good GPU and a CPU/motherboard/DDR5 kit for $700. Live near a microcenter?

gaunt vigil
#

No

#

Do i have to buy a new mother board?

fervent elm
#

The price of ram has shot up a cliff
Shintel and keep ddr4 it is

edgy laurel
#

You have a 10700, so LGA1200. 10th and 11th Gen supported only and with a 10700, there isn't really anything else available that offers a generational performance jump

#

so yeah, for a CPU upgrade you'd be looking at a new motherboard

#

if you want an actual generational performance jump

#

and DDR5

gaunt vigil
#

Is it ok if i only upgrade my gpu and keep my cpu lets say a 5060ti 16gb + i7-10700 will it be ok?

edgy laurel
#

and as was pointed out, DRAM prices are in the shitter right now lol

fervent elm
#

Why is basic ass ddr5 suddenly 150$

gaunt vigil
fervent elm
edgy laurel
#

5060Ti costs what today, i have no idea.

fervent elm
steel stream
edgy laurel
#

Oh, ok

edgy laurel
steel stream
#

it's a ventus but should get the job done

gaunt vigil
#

Is it normal that i am playing with my specs on the lowest settings of battlefield 6 red sec and i am getting 50/70 fps? Or is it a bug in my system

edgy laurel
#

People aren't able to just calculate performance different combinations of hardware will offer in every game on the fly from memory

#

and take into account every setting/resolution

fervent elm
#

Using that original 700 ish budget you could get a 9070 and a 1440p monitor
Could save a bit and get a 9060xt or a 5060ti 16g

gaunt vigil
#

Battlefield is a pretty rough game on the cpu

edgy laurel
#

That is quite accurate

fervent elm
#

Your cpu does

gaunt vigil
#

Wdym?

fervent elm
#

Lower resolutions usually run at higher fps, which taxes your cpu more
Higher res puts more load on the gpu aswell by comparison
You can go without but then id just reccommend a lower tier card

#

It depends on the game though

gaunt vigil
#

Ok

edgy laurel
#

Not to be that guy but the CPU's role doesn't change with resolution, but the concept is shifting where the load is or.. and I hate to use the term.. the "bottleneck".

#

Ideally, the load (so in game settings/resolution) are high enough that the limiting factor is the GPU

anything new today

wise bear
#

well, the felony sandwich-throwing case started yesterday

topaz veldt
#

Oh assaulting an officer? That'll be quick

wise bear
#

that's what the prosecuters said, it still took 5 hours of time yesterday

#

with no conclusion kek

topaz veldt
#

The sandwich thrower is prob complaining about not having SNAP

wise bear
#

no, he's a vet protesting ICE

topaz veldt
#

So?

wise bear
#

situation went down in DC when ICE started their en-masse deportation raids

topaz veldt
#

He's prob on SNAP and now he would kill for that sandwich back

wise bear
#

but you can't buy subway with snap

topaz veldt
#

Well employed people don't have time to protest federal laws

wise bear
#

Well in that case you can't buy subway with snap here

Or I've just never seen it

topaz veldt

I am certain you can

well if the state wants to give me another $300 I'll give it a go

#

Back to the foundation of our country presidents implement. Tariffs to help regulate, import and export to literally make our economy work. So going back historically, there hasn't been a president who didn't oversee an administration that tariffed foreign Nations in some manner

#

Back to like Adams and shit

#

So if you want to limit a president's ability to implement tariffs as a means to economic regulations then you need to have some sort of framework around that, not just"No we don't like this President"

wise bear
#

I think the per-person tariffs are a little silly but I'm all for companies getting tariffed

topaz veldt

edgy laurel

bahahaha

topaz veldt
#

But think of all the CS2 skins Vert can trade at 720 Hz

lone scarab
#

opening cases at 720 fps

edgy laurel
#

the motion shots comparing the 1440p 540hz to 720p 720hz, they don't really seems much different and the IQ on the 1440p side is staggeringly better. Ok yeah he's saying that too

topaz veldt
#

I hope people buy it

pure garnet
#

i wonder if the lcd can even keep up with that refresh

edgy laurel
#

esports teams have their bulk orders already otw

topaz veldt
#

I would actually like people to show up here with 720 hz 720p displays so we can laugh

lone scarab
#

there is no way someone gonan be ao dumb to play 720p

#

except my friend a ywar ago when he didnt have a gpu

pure garnet
#

i tried the 1080p dual mode last night with michael and even that got pretty blurry

#

i canโ€™t imagine 720p at 27โ€ to be palatable

topaz veldt
#

In this example, specifically, if 720 hz helps you... you need more skill because your success in gameplay shouldn't be hinged on "I saw the position of pixel 1 and 2 faster than the other guy"

edgy laurel
#

the later shots in motion were more damning

topaz veldt
#

And that's always the argument "you see the data faster"

lone scarab
#

erm

#

is it even gonna make a differen e?

#

will see what players say

edgy laurel
#

and those esports teams will setup their new 720p displays when they can offload the the 1080p TN's they just "upgraded" from

wise bear

monitors can only get so fast when the actual limiter is one's reaction time

dual mode

lone scarab
#

great

edgy laurel
#

but those hyper sweats you know wouldn't bother doing A/B testing. They see 720Hz and just see red

pure garnet
#

1440 540 or 720 720

shell void
#

i havent seen anyone be interested in the 720Hz mode

#

1440p 540Hz glossy tandem woled is just hype and the 720Hz mode is a meme

wise bear
#

"look what we can do!"

pure garnet
#

oh itโ€™s an oled?

lone scarab
pure garnet
#

yeah unusable sorry

#

4k oled the move

wise bear

^

edgy laurel
#

And you just know they're connected to 5090's that are just at tick-over playing valorant at 720p low

shell void
#

i wish there was a 4k240 oled that could do 1440p540 dual mode

pure garnet
#

wouldnโ€™t it just be 1080 since 1440 divides into nothing

shell void
#

naw it doesnt have to be half res, idk why the monitors do that

pure garnet
#

1.5 pixels per pixel ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

edgy laurel
#

could the iGPU on a 285K do 540fps in valorant at 720p

shell void
#

4K 165Hz TVs do 1440p dual mode

edgy laurel
#

intel people

shell void
#

probably

pure garnet
#

if i reenable my igpu later i can test it

edgy laurel
#

so many placebo things I'd like to test with that information

wise bear
#

now i wonder if my laptop igpu can do 500+fps but I'm sure as fuck not installing valorant to find out

edgy laurel
#

two pc's, set with 540fps frame limiters on 285k's but one is connected to a 5090, theother the iGPU.

pure garnet
#

my thinkpad with a 1245u gets like 90fps at 1200p iirc

wise bear
#

that's pretty good tbh

#

I gotta try halo on the igpu today

the reflections are on a different focal plane, you have to purposefully refocus your eyes on the reflections in order to see them clearly

i have afterburner on shift + insert and reshade on shift + delete

80% is tkl, 75% is tkl minus some stuff

this is a 75%

Thatโ€™ll be sick. Given the 9950X3D frequency CCD only hits 5.7

maybe theyโ€™ll actually go for 5725MHz on the main CCD on the 9950X3D*2, i have no idea

Anyone know of any good wifi mesh systems that allows me to expand the range of my existing router?
