[undone relic]

What’s better?

• Ps5
• steam
• Xbox

[wise bear]

I think you mean "PC"

[edgy laurel]

oh boy

Stalker 2

[wise bear]

Also, pc better

[indigo walrus]

Entirely subjective. Depends on the games you play, how much money you have, and your preferences.

[undone relic]

I’m referring to the new console coming out

[indigo walrus]

Objectively... yeah, a PC is hands down always better than a single-purpose console because you can do more.

[edgy laurel]

better at what

[wise bear]

so say steam box

[edgy laurel]

Define "better"

[topaz veldt]

too scary

[undone relic]

Only ask as I’m making a windows app to replicate consoles, so essentially turning PC’s into consoles

As can see

[topaz veldt]

Should I buy one of those AMD AI 395 jawns

[devout ridge]

so steam?

[undone relic]

No it doesn’t rely on steam

[wise bear]

so.. an emulator?

My guy dozens of those already exist

[whole lake]

what minimum partition size would y'all recommend for the following:
-> Fedora Workstation (yes i ditched Linux Mint)
-> Kali Linux
-> Ubuntu 24 LTS

[devout ridge]

google it

[undone relic]

I’ve called it “PS5 Os” and no it’s a front end/ games launcher

[wise bear]

so its steam

[undone relic]

Build c# wpf

[wise bear]

its steam with a ps5 skin

[topaz veldt]

If you are at the point of tri-booting OS you should be more than familiar enough to not need to know what partition sizes you need

[devout ridge]

but with less functionality for shits and giggles

[edgy laurel]

you may have an issue with that name decision for what should be obvious reasons

[undone relic]

No! It’s more than that it inc ps5 stuff like the guide menu and ach supoort ect

[wise bear]

[indigo walrus]

I recommend different drives for each OS. I've been burned too many times by bootloaders overwriting each other that I no longer condone installing multiple OS's on a single drive.

[turbid locust]

@low sorrel we in the funny queue now

[whole lake]

sadly i only have 1 boot drive since its a laptop so gotta do it the hard way

[wise bear]

Why does this need fucking nitrogen????

[undone relic]

It’s part of my main app “Game OS” whete you can chnage guide menu, intro video wct

[wise bear]

so it's skinned windows

game os lmao

[undone relic]

Yea and no, it uses windows features but should work in lunix and Mac via wine/proton.

It just mimics features using pc

[undone relic]

No, it’s a frontend/ game launcher

[wise bear]

so its not an operating system

why is it called "game os"

[wise bear]

so its skinned steam

[whole lake]

if i had at least 2 NVMe slots i could have thought of smth and as far as ik i CANT twiddle around inside a laptop and fit on an extra nvme slot with screws

[wise bear]

my guy we're going in a loop, your idea has major flaws

[undone relic]

It’s becoming one, it’ll inc driver uodates and other stuff that would do what a os does. After I can use with custom windows buid and make it an iso file

[devout ridge]

"idea" is a stretch

[indigo walrus]

That doesn't make it an Operating System... Also, you'll need Microsoft's blessing to distribute your own ISO.

[undone relic]

Anyways it’s a game launcher not like steam. I was asking for ps5 features that I could add to my app chill

[whole lake]

Hi peyton, merry xmas in advance

[wise bear]

no, you asked what console is better

[undone relic]

Yes I know, there’s more to it and I will do it over time…

[wise bear]

you making a custom iso doesn't make it a custom operating system

you're literally just skinning windows

[undone relic]

Yes so I can add features to my app hence mentioned ps5 🤣 like chill

[wise bear]

All you're doing is adding obnoxious UI layers from playstation with a windows backend and steam as the game manager (because you're not going to be able to sort DRM w/o it I know that for sure)

[undone relic]

Omg it’s like you didn’t read my message, it’s not a full os as of now but other time it will be

[devout ridge]

so you're gonna completely start over at some point?

cause that's what switching to a custom OS would be

[undone relic]

Yes it can find local steam, epic, gog ect . And yes it can use api keys… is it needed, no? So no it’s more like retroarch

[wise bear]

so its a shittier nvidia game launcher

[undone relic]

Yes but to start you need a design and function… which is wnay I’ve done via the app till I get all features and stuff…

[undone relic]

If that’s what you think. it’s an app I’ve made in less than a week as a side project lol. I asked for ideas not criticism from people who coukdnt even make an app 🤣😂

[pure garnet]

it's weird that board is giving you so much trouble

[wise bear]

omg its like i was talkinga bout what your future endeavors will be

[topaz veldt]

well its like packed in a hot box with a 5090 and zero airflow at all

This is not the RAM OC platform lol

[wise bear]

My guy you asked "what console good" and then started pitching your hilarious idea to us like you're trying to sell it to the shark tank lmao

[pure garnet]

is 9 minutes even long enough to make trefi be an issue

[topaz veldt]

Nah this is most likely me needing to figure out voltages and such

its an 8000 CL40 XMP kit

but yeah once the NH-D15 G2 is on in that pic there is like zero air flow to anything

[undone relic]

Uhh no go back and read. I aksed what’s better, then was gonan ask why? That’s why I showed app I was making so it made sense why I asked 🤣 if gkt notning nice say shut your f*cking mouth, simple

[wise bear]

ok kiddo

go back to your vibe-coded boonty box

[undone relic]

Go back to school mush 🤣 didn’t ask your op asked others

[whole lake]

peyton vs random kid on discord

[wise bear]

you asked everyone present lmao

[devout ridge]

-asks for opinion in public chat
-gets opinion from someone in public chat
-"i didn't ask your opinion mate"
-insert confused face

[wise bear]

kids these days don't know how to take criticism lol

[whole lake]

wannabe script kiddos

back to my PC backup brb

[devout ridge]

don't hate on him, i'm sure he spent a lot of hours in chatgpt coding this app/os/whatever the hell it even is

[wise bear]

He's like the third person to come in here and be like "I'm making a game launcher!!"

And then we never hear about it again

[edgy laurel]

Sometimes you have to take a better look at what problem you're actually trying to solve and if its necessary.

If no one can see the benefit, it may be worth rethinking.

[undone relic]

I’ve been making it myself… done it less than a week as a mock up 🤣 functions better than what most of you could make.

All asked for was feature ideas not “so it’s a shity version of steam/widnows” cuz idc about that 😴

[edgy laurel]

All I see is an unnecessary UI meant to solve a problem that doesn't exist for me.

[low sorrel]

^

[wise bear]

Oh here come the comparatory insults because he thinks every one of us can't program

[edgy laurel]

This isn't and never will be about the ability to program, but entirely about the benefit of the software to begin with.

[wise bear]

Also if yall like podcasts you should listen to Morning Somewhere

[oak vector]

My skills are questionable
But they’re somewhat there

[pure garnet]

the best projects have users, of which this wont

[undone relic]

I get that, it puts all data into one place.

Console - simple ui and mange things easily with controller. More restricted

Pc - more freedom, more customisation ect but not as simple as a console.

App uses best of bith into one, so people can use a pc as a dedicated games console tbat doesn’t rely on steam big picture mode .

[oak vector]

my only working project thus far is discord bots

[wise bear]

So it's a janky game launcher that launches things fullscreen..

[low sorrel]

so whats the difference between this and steam big picture mode

[edgy laurel]

Ok, great. For PC gaming on the couch. Now, why would I want to use this over Steam BPM?

[steel stream]

did you return 70 Ti too

[edgy laurel]

Whch is a highly functional and polished interface.

[young void]

Just be careful Sony dont play theyll getcha

[edgy laurel]

Non-steam games can be launched from BPM, and apps can be accessed by simply minimizing BPM and showing the desktop.

[undone relic]

Some features that steam doesn’t have, support for Roms, media and more.

Roms also use retro achievements, Exophase and API’s. Playtime tracking,

Switch achievements via ruyjinx, Xenia achievement tracking.

Custom guide menu , replicates a lot of PlayStation ui (ovbs I still need finish the design and polish better)

[wise bear]

So.. it's a combination of steam, emulators, & controller UI/UX movement?..

[young void]

Dangerous game young padawan

[edgy laurel]

Its great to put your efforts into designing real world software to learn, for sure. Just, if you're going to talk to others about said software as if its something useful, it should probably be actually useful. Or just make it clear its one-off for learning.

[wise bear]

yeah you're gonna get C&D'd if you start marketing this lmao

[low sorrel]

scope creep go brr

[edgy laurel]

Replicating PS UI and having PS5 in the name are big no-no's

[undone relic]

That’s more effort than it all being in one place.

Steam / epic games also used launcher so users don’t need worry. Also uses local games not from steam. Merges into one game entry so can play feom multiple libraries

[low sorrel]

i have made carbon copies of existing projects for learning lol

[clear juniper]

I just upgrade to 2gig internet

[edgy laurel]

And thats fine, it only exists on your PC and will likely never leave.

[wise bear]

I have a perfect name for you

Just Another Game Library

[hoary hatch]

Not yet

[undone relic]

And many more, like playnites fullscreen mode but instead with less restrictions

[low sorrel]

and the users will be zero forever because it fucking sucks

[edgy laurel]

All that emulator stuff is unique, possibly. I don't really use them so I couldn't say.

[steel stream]

on the chopping block?

[hoary hatch]

Probably gonna keep it

[wise bear]

What do I put in my ramen tonight

[hoary hatch]

I'd have to find a 9070xt for under $600 to consider

[devout ridge]

egg

[gentle gale]

i’ve always thought sony still uses xmb but i guess not

[steel stream]

ah ok so not happening

[wise bear]

I could do a hardboiled egg

[undone relic]

I mean it’s no diffrent to any other game launcher on pc with a theme, this is a side project that’s part of “Game OS” so you can chnage dash design and guide menu design too

[hoary hatch]

Lmao

[steel stream]

bro my school isn't offering innertube water polo next semester :(

[devout ridge]

fucking what now

[low sorrel]

BBQ pork

[steel stream]

innertube water polo

[wise bear]

I don't have any

[low sorrel]

roast pork

[devout ridge]

saying the same thing a second time doesn't make me any less confused

[steel stream]

it's a bit easier to play compared to underwater hockey

[wise bear]

I can do tuna, salmon, or chicken

[hoary hatch]

D1 inner tube water polo?

[steel stream]

water polo played in innertubes

[undone relic]

It’ll inc switch emulator “ruyjinx” achievements, and set up mods folders. There lots of emulation stuff and manvemnet it’ll do. But also pc game stuff and other things dk can replace shell

[steel stream]

only IM sadly

[wise bear]

is water polo like water rugby

[hoary hatch]

What an L

[steel stream]

kinda, it's pretty fun

[wise bear]

I bet you it's a great core workout

[low sorrel]

what veggies

[steel stream]

great cardio and everything workout, swimming that hard and for that long is no easy feat

[wise bear]

I got peas, beans, broccoli, asian medley mixes

[topaz veldt]

kind of clever

[wise bear]

I read it was like a 20c drop

[devout ridge]

liquid cooled air cooler, with a chiller?

[topaz veldt]

cut the heat pipes and flared/clamped hoses on

[wise bear]

air conditioning the inside of your case while cooling the cpu, kinda smart

well, gpu

[low sorrel]

What

[wise bear]

like those stir fry kits

[low sorrel]

Is medley mixes

[young void]

This is neat

[wise bear]

its just called "asian medley"

It's got waternuts, baby corns, carrots, sugar snap peas, etc

[low sorrel]

Definitely a white people thing or a non Canada fhing

[steel stream]

maybe I have to start the league and get people to join...

[low sorrel]

Ok so none of those veggies sound good in ramen

[wise bear]

I'll just do peas

[low sorrel]

Peas???

[wise bear]

I mean I could do corn..

pan-roasted corn with paprika

[hoary hatch]

Pretty sure my school was national champions in Heroes of the Storm when I was in college

[wise bear]

lmao hots

god I haven't heard of that in years

[hoary hatch]

We did not qualify for the Overwatch collegiate championship, but we did get to host it! I went to it and got a T-shirt and mousepad

[steel stream]

some dude at my school got flown out to Malaysia to compete in the national underwater hockey tournament

[wise bear]

..........underwater hockey?

[steel stream]

yes

it's fun

[low sorrel]

What

[wise bear]

how the fuck does that work, water resistance is so huge that when you make contact with the puck it's gonna go like, a foot

...they do use sticks and pucks, right?

[hoary hatch]

I also don't understand the concept

[steel stream]

you just push it across the bottom pretty much

hold on lemme find a video

[wise bear]

So it's underwater shuffleboard

[low sorrel]

Is there scholarships for it

[wise bear]

oh thats hilarious

[steel stream]

https://youtu.be/L8LZaWK1kXY

[steel stream]

not yet

[wise bear]

oh my god it's underwater shuffleboard

that's so inneresting

[low sorrel]

Sir how did you pay for Harvard:

Underwater hockey

[steel stream]

if only

[wise bear]

Their cores could probably repel a bowling ball

god damn

[steel stream]

I am not too sure why they use snorkels but oh well

i guess so you can take quick breaths at the surface while still keeping face in the water

[wise bear]

I wonder if there's underwater football

[steel stream]

afaik no

and I stand corrected

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_football

[wise bear]

you can't speak the play so you use a combination of farts & breathing out before hiking the ball

[steel stream]

damn when it was invented they used diving bricks

[low sorrel]

Side note, it's been like 5 years but I'm still mildly pissed that I made it into the provincials for a grade 8-12 geography tournament back in grade 8 and my school admin forgot to tell me the date for the tournament

[steel stream]

could have gone pro if it weren't for that smh

[low sorrel]

Smh

[hoary hatch]

So we're preparing for the rise of the civilization of Atlantis or something?

[steel stream]

you didn't hear? the world is flooding on the 31st

[hoary hatch]

Can we move it to March?

[steel stream]

Lemme talk to the man upstairs, do you have the proper W3T paperwork for this?

[edgy laurel]

those are brands, not drives. also its not going to matter in any way if buying known good drives (which we don't know since you didn't say)

[young void]

If the speeds are the same, whatevers cheapest

[edgy laurel]

and even if they aren't...

[young void]

Right right lol

[steel stream]

My gen 5 drive is faster than your gen 5 drive sucka!!!!

[young void]

I can feel Michael swirling wine somewhere rn

[steel stream]

him and his special optane drive or whatever

[young void]

XD

[steel stream]

still gen 4 though

nevermind the fact my drives are only gen 4 at most

[young void]

No qualms as long as it works

[shell void]

XD

i cant tell any difference between my SN8100 and my P5800X for OS/daily use

optane is a waste of money for normal people

[low sorrel]

@shell void guess what back to my peak :D

[shell void]

hell yeah bro nice

[steel stream]

good thing we ain't normal right

[whole lake]

free disk space go crazy 🙏

[low sorrel]

yall name your drives?

[potent bronze]

i was looking at a video and they chose WD over Samsung. i thought maybe ppl had problems with samsung drive

[edgy laurel]

No, but also we don't shop by brand name. All PC part brands have good and bad specific products.

[indigo walrus]

Yes and no. I only name them so I can differentiate them in case of a hardware failure.

[edgy laurel]

KISS

[whole lake]

i do, for differentiation between OS stuff and personal data

||cries in 1 nvme slot||

[coral tartan]

[edgy laurel]

i don't miss that shit

[low sorrel]

this board has 1 and exactly one nvme slot

[steel stream]

luckily someone already sent answers so it's no big deal

[edgy laurel]

I've got 4 slots, only two in use

[steel stream]

the big deal is the finals I've got this week

[edgy laurel]

oh damn

[low sorrel]

no

[steel stream]

I've got 6 NVME slots 😛

[whole lake]

lend me 4

[steel stream]

my b I can have 10

i'm good

i could easily multi boot without hasitation 😩

[steel stream]

I'll just keep using 2

[coral tartan]

I only have 4

Theyre all in use tho

So peak

[steel stream]

you people have motherboards for ants or smth

4 NVME slots is depressing

[whole lake]

buddy i got a fkin laptop alright... 1 nvme and 1 sata is the best i can do

[hoary hatch]

Oh shit buildzoid is back

[steel stream]

liquid freezer iii pro

[edgy laurel]

everyones list will be different. sticking with known models you can't really go wrong. The "spread" among them is basically nothing in reality. For example, Hardware Canucks most recent list. You look at the Lian Li and think "whoa, so much better!". Then you use your brain for a minute and realize its like 2c between the "best" and "worst".

The truth is, no matter what, if you set it up correctly with a flat fan curve and like 60% on the pump you're not going to hear a thing with any of them.

So now that performance is out of the way, then you get to what actually matters like visuals and mount ease of use.

Or, you do the smart thing and just buy an air cooler.

[brisk jolt]

What if their brain’s missing like they left it at home

[edgy laurel]

you know whats impressive, he or someone on his "team" spends quite a lot of time working on his "sets"

[low sorrel]

how much you get

[turbid locust]

19 I think

[merry stirrup]

yes and no

yes because it has a reset header that you can wire up to your clear cmos header

no because depending on the boards you have to short it for like 3 seconds, and the KVM doesnt allow you to hold the reset button

i assume thru the console that its possible but idk

[merry stirrup]

you ccould swap them and put the reset switch to power and power to clear cmos cause theres an option to hold down power

but then that sparks issues if your system hangs

[frank cypress]

@low sorrel

https://www.facebook.com/share/1CxasaTU6H/

[low sorrel]

So wait what

@merry stirrup

[brisk jolt]

wtf is this lobby

[low sorrel]

Wtf is a cold boot timing mis match

[brisk jolt]

apparently yuki didnt take notes from the minister of defense

[merry stirrup]

what

[low sorrel]

look at what ennui sent

[pure garnet]

can the kvm not send a hold signal

[merry stirrup]

499 cad 4080 thats a 4090? yeah its a scam

[merry stirrup]

reset doesnt allow you to hold, power does

[low sorrel]

it's not a 4090?

[merry stirrup]

that is not an 8

[low sorrel]

thats an 8

[merry stirrup]

yeah i zoomed in

[pure garnet]

floppa i think you're geeked bro

oh btw mpower tmrw

[merry stirrup]

bro this is what im seeing rn

[pure garnet]

ups moved the date up

[low sorrel]

also go to next photo

[brisk eagle]

Thats an 8

[merry stirrup]

tthat hairline of pixels is very hard to see without zooming in

[pure garnet]

and then on wednesday i get to order the b850 mpower

[merry stirrup]

i cant without signing in

[merry stirrup]

3d printed board thing is compatible with both

[pure garnet]

i'll use the 7800x3d for now until i have some spare cash to buy an apu

should be able to slam vdd into my a die for a low tcl funny setup at least

[merry stirrup]

yus

[brisk jolt]

wheres the 98

[pure garnet]

in my actual desktop

[brisk jolt]

o mb i havent been here often

[pure garnet]

i am not longer tuning on main i am tired of fighting with it

[merry stirrup]

idk bro that is too good of a deal for me to say in good concious go for it

message about it sure but its probably a scam

[pure garnet]

outside of when i buy something new obv

so i got the 9800x3d setup and that's how im running it

[low sorrel]

I mean theres this about it

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna revamp my main setup’s case and get the SSD and ram first for my next

I’d like to see what the ARL(R) does

[merry stirrup]

i read that but idk bro

a 300$ 4080 is insane

ask about it but if hes weird about it just forget it

[brisk jolt]

the boot problem to me is a small price to pay for a $300 4080

[merry stirrup]

no shit its a small price tto pay for most people thats my point bro

my issue is not the boot problem my issue is that they want 300$ for it

300$ for a like 800$ card

[brisk jolt]

I’d just go with the standard operation of “is this guy legit”

[merry stirrup]

that is literally whatt im saying

[pure garnet]

the card should be cheaper than that now

[hoary hatch]

Is this from the business Costco cheese section

[pure garnet]

300 is still on the verge of oddly cheap though

[merry stirrup]

yeah if you want a heatsink only model

[pure garnet]

okay so ebay is irrational then

[brisk jolt]

I’d place the FE at like $800 tbh

[pure garnet]

the 5070ti is $750 new

why are we buying a used equivalent for more

[merry stirrup]

ask ebay recently sold listings bro

4080 isnt worth anywherre close to 300$

[brisk jolt]

its mainly bcs of the model diff and the fact online buyers are stupid

[merry stirrup]

maybe 600$ lol

[pure garnet]

i was expecting like 600 yeah

[merry stirrup]

anywhee from 650 to 750 on ebay recently sold

[brisk jolt]

anyways point is just go for the $300 4080 lol

[pure garnet]

didn’t realize the used market was that bad lol

[frank cypress]

@merry stirrup did u see

[merry stirrup]

yems

if real its good but to me seems sus

[frank cypress]

nooooo

[merry stirrup]

i like this plan

what is 4 2080tis equivalent to

[frank cypress]

4090

[merry stirrup]

seems legit

he has been miniaturized

[pure garnet]

i wanna see buildzoid cover the b850 mlg

[shrewd mantle]

There a guide to doing pbo on the 7800x3d?

[pure garnet]

turn it on

[shrewd mantle]

Had to rebuild my pc and it forgot all the settings…

[pure garnet]

you can't adjust offsets or anything

so it's literally just a binary toggle to turn it on

[shrewd mantle]

Really? I remember setting it to like -20

[pure garnet]

that's curve optimizer

it's not changing the boost target it's just undervolting

[shrewd mantle]

Oh yea that’s what I need to do then

[pure garnet]

for that you basically just apply an offset and then do corecycler and other tests to make sure it’s stable

[hasty iris]

guys is this normal

guess whats in the ps3 folder

[shrewd mantle]

Gotcha thanks, which settings do I enable to set my ram to its advertised speeds? Cause I think there’s like expo and xmp

[pure garnet]

they’re effectively the same thing but yeah either xmp or expo or a-xmp or whatever its labeled as

should be a big button in the bios easy mode

[shrewd mantle]

Ah ok perfect thank you

So I should do curve offset then pbo…? (For cpu)

[pure garnet]

you have to enable pbo to do the co

[shrewd mantle]

An ok

What about the other stuff like limits scalar and etc

[spiral quarry]

garbo time lol the small things I'll cheap out on to save

[merry stirrup]

realistically its going to be fine so

[brisk jolt]

what the actual fuck

35 minutes then now they tell me no more oatmilk

????????????????

[brisk jolt]

great another $50 to get mpower

[tranquil finch]

I don’t, it’s just only game where I can measure it.

And like, how many ms do you have?

I don’t want to worry about it

[topaz veldt]

yeah these are the issues I've had. I am actually thinkg of maybe doing two things - a nano ipkvm and separately a raspberry pi so I can program the GPIO.

[lyric bough]

I have a PS2 and a PS3 and I always forget how elderly they are

[livid flame]

Someone in the UK sold their excess ram in their system. Bought new ram and a 5070ti. What a world we live in.

Still had a grand left over profit

[lyric bough]

Ram is the new bitcoin.

[livid flame]

Except bitcoin doesn’t exist. Ram does. Physically that is

[lyric bough]

That's the only difference at the moment. I should have bought ram stocks or something

[green marsh]

i would say depends on use case. In VRAM it is better than a 4090 for example, so for AI it might be a better choice /s

[lyric bough]

I also have this Xbox

[green marsh]

unfortunately DDR4 isn't going as steep as DDR5

[green marsh]

my kits are worth only around 250e used for now. Which is a shame, i bought one of them for 975 euros in 2018 😄

[lyric bough]

Should I sell these or will they go up In value over the next few years? They are all in mint condition are are barely used.

[green marsh]

next few years ? Doubt it. There are literally tens of millions of them in the circulation

[lyric bough]

Dang

[green marsh]

i mean they will climb, for perfect condition ones mostly, but i wouldn''t count on 'dramatic' increase

[green marsh]

https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-3/playstation-3-system-80gb-backward-compatible?q=playstation+3+system+80gb+[backward+compatible]

[lyric bough]

Yeah Im just wondering if it will be enough for it to worth the wait or not at all

[green marsh]

last years the price barely changed for PS3

https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-2/playstation-2-system PS2 barely moved last 3 years

[lyric bough]

Welp

I might as well keep them for use and cross my fingers that their price increases like RAM is right now.

[green marsh]

in decades, maybe. In few years, unlikely

[lyric bough]

It's almost certain that I will be able to keep them until they are worth a fair bit more

[green marsh]

i mean Amiga 1200 sells for $900 now, Amiga 600 for $400-$600

[lyric bough]

Although the Xbox I doubt would go up at all

[lyric bough]

I have no idea what that is :)

[green marsh]

gaming computers from early to mid '90s

[lyric bough]

Ah

[green marsh]

what could increase the value is the devices slowly dying out. What works against you is the sheer number of units sold

160M units of PS2, 88M units of PS3

[solemn heron]

Hey guys im about to buy the AOC Q27G4ZDF but im having some second thoughts since its almost a quarter of my overall budget (400€). Is the qdOLED tech worth the super big price?

[lyric bough]

oof

[celest veldt]

Help pc suddenly died and only flashing light when trying to turn on button. I already tri3d resiting the ram, cpu cooler, gpu, cmos reset, resitting cables to psu.

I tried the paper clip psu test and the psu fan is not spinning

Is it possible that the psu died

[summer raft]

Did you try booting with only 1 stick

[celest veldt]

Trying right now

[celest veldt]

Tried it

Not working

1 stick. No stick no gpu

Even the suddenly flashing disappeared

Psu died i think

Maybe failing hard drive?

I have hard drive connected

@topaz veldt Snail, how much do you think a 9070xt has to be for it to become a better deal than the 5070ti

loud or something, has other minor issues, good unit

id say at minimum 100$ less

7800x3D/4090 @ 4K

[merry stirrup]

real note i put my 2.5gbit card in here so this backup (changing how my nas works) wouldnt be slow and its still painful

i got 2.5gbit for about 8 seconds before the speed fell off a cliff cause it wasnt cached anymore

[oak vector]

[edgy laurel]

lightweight games where I'm sitting on my framerate limiter w/ GSync and VSync, PCL is real low. It gets worse when playing something like Stalker 2 which hammers the CPU and I employ things like FrameGen just to get playable framerates.

but I don't play games with an overlay on

[merry stirrup]

i forgot to sleep

[merry stirrup]

i try not to anymore

i have been playing with CPU watts on tho

out of my own curiosities

[edgy laurel]

I will turn them on for satisfying curiosity or troubleshooting but if the game is working, its all off

[merry stirrup]

im determined to get a screenshot of 67MB/s transfer speed

YEAAHHH

if only it was 420 instead

thats my nas

i have faster home internet than my nas.

I need to practice with horizon photo mode
Now that I've unlocked flight I can take some cool screenshots

[edgy laurel]

how long into the game does it take to unlock the flying mount?

I need to get back to HFW

but running around was getting old

[tranquil finch]

I played stalker 2 on release, should I buy it and play it again or wait? I want to play it, but not actually🤣

[hoary hatch]

Too. Fucking. Long.

You need like 90% through the main story line.

[edgy laurel]

Up to you. I played it all the way through at release and i'm doing another playthrough now

[edgy laurel]

well thats lame

[merry stirrup]

HOLLLY SHITT

i made it to the big movies

[edgy laurel]

2.5G doing work

[merry stirrup]

thank god

[hoary hatch]

In terms of main story, once you unlock flight (and complete the associated unskippable mission with that unlock), your next main story mission appears to be the final one (which I'm sure is like 3-4 hours long)

[merry stirrup]

i cleared space on my nvme for this

i dont think my drive even has great write endurance like thbis

im writing fucking 600gb to it in one go poor thing

[livid flame]

You’ll be fine

[hoary hatch]

I imagine if I try to initiate the next mission, they will warn me "you won't be able to go back and do other stuff until we've beaten the enemy"

[edgy laurel]

As long as its a game that doesn't just "end" once you beat the final mission and you can still do sidequests/explore it might not be... no, no its still ass

[tranquil finch]

I know something about it, so should I worry?

I think that it’s good but idk

I play cs2 decently

[edgy laurel]

i dunno man I cant decide if you should play a game or not. Thats on you

[merry stirrup]

💀 😭

[hoary hatch]

I'm not there yet, but the expansion only unlocks once you've completed the main story, so, I think you can go back and do stuff?

My problem is I've been grinding the whole time and have finished basically everything before unlocking flight

[tranquil finch]

I mean the latency

[hoary hatch]

Cursory googling says the expansion is a big map though

Probably just larger than frozen wilds

[edgy laurel]

I can't say how it will perform on your system. I know with DLSS and Framegen on it feels pretty good to me

[hoary hatch]

But frozen wilds in HZD did add some decent play time

[tranquil finch]

But without FG or something, just native

[edgy laurel]

wow, no RAM in bundles at all https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx

[merry stirrup]

lol

[edgy laurel]

all of those used to have the RAM included

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[thick tide]

only two RAM slots tho, I'm only using 2x16g sticks but what if I want to upgrade further?

[merry stirrup]

4 stick d5 isnt the methods regardless

[thick tide]

Will I ever even need more RAM

[merry stirrup]

maybe

we cant really answer that

[thick tide]

2x32 then?

[thick tide]

?

[merry stirrup]

i know im in the position where i wish i bought more than 32GB ram

[thick tide]

let me get my build list

[hoary hatch]

God fucking damnit

[merry stirrup]

we arent you, we dont know what you do on your pc bro

[edgy laurel]

Not great. At 4K w/ Epic settings and the tweaked Ultra+ mod for even greater quality, my native framerate is in the 40-70fps range depending on the area, even on DLSS Performance. Game has some real CPU limitations.

[hoary hatch]

Everyone wants more ram in the future
Tough luck. Just get 32gb now and use it

[edgy laurel]

i've had 32GB and want more but those dreams are dashed

[livid flame]

Yes a fellow snail! 🐌

[hoary hatch]

When the ram costs more than the CPU mobo bundle

[merry stirrup]

yeah life is pain

[hoary hatch]

My 48gb kit should have me set for a while

[steel stream]

i'll sell you 48GB for $500

[merry stirrup]

i was gonna grab a 2x24 kit or a 2x32 kit to play with and have as a new daily but ill just go jump off a bridge instead

[livid flame]

Tbh I probably could get by with 16gb ddr5

But I have 32gb 😎

[thick tide]

oh yeah mb, just gaming, elden, sekiro, red dead myb

[merry stirrup]

bro you watch tarkov so youll understand my pain

[hoary hatch]

Aren't 32gb sticks kinda ass for timings? I haven't looked in a while so I could be wrong these days

[tranquil finch]

Yeah but should I just worry about the general latency on my pc? In all games.

[merry stirrup]

im 3rd floor of 3 story, my buddy gets reamed by a guy from two story (which i told him about many times, stood still in a window). a scav walks up the stairs, i shoot him, he teleports in front of me and head eyes me

no time to react i just get domed

[edgy laurel]

Not if you have no idea how it relates to your experience in game. At this point, no.

[edgy laurel]

i think that gif was from tarkov too

[merry stirrup]

i mean yeah but realistically i need more ram

[merry stirrup]

well its peanut

[thick tide]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GGTM/saved/8Lt9t6

[merry stirrup]

he got shit on in that clip you can see his character fall over he had the same face i didd during that

[livid flame]

Everyone needs more ram. If the world was content with how much ram it had, we would have cheaper ram

[tranquil finch]

When I play games without FG than I don’t feel anything bad.

[edgy laurel]

whats funny is he's actually not terrible at the game either

[merry stirrup]

escape from tarkov using 24GB ram alone is why i need more ram

[thick tide]

I'm def only starting with 32 for this

[livid flame]

So 32gb is fine then. Watcha complaining for

[merry stirrup]

i have....the rest of the computer

[edgy laurel]

I have to close Chrome before I launch Stalker right now (on 32GB)

[livid flame]

8gb is plenty for background processes

[merry stirrup]

no its not when im at 32/32gb bro

[livid flame]

Remember Frank Azor said, 8gb is plenty

[merry stirrup]

i have just discord and this file transfer open

[tranquil finch]

And how to eliminate the latency with FG?

[hoary hatch]

Than 48gb?

[merry stirrup]

well 64GB kits are same price

[livid flame]

You won’t be transferring large files with a game open

And some of that ram in use is just reserved

[merry stirrup]

the file transfer is not why im using 8gb ram bro

[hoary hatch]

These days it's all fucked so I guess that's valid

[edgy laurel]

Ensure your base framerate is at or above 60 before enabling it is really the best thing you can do

[hoary hatch]

When I was shopping, I could get really crap 64gb kits for the same price as 48gb 8200

[edgy laurel]

Are we at a point yet where some of you can tell the IC maker by the timings of a kit

[merry stirrup]

samsung likes flat timings, memecron...is memecron (although samsung is worse) and hynix rams tcl w/volts

[hoary hatch]

Actually this may be too good for micron 32gb dimms

[livid flame]

They’re not leaving. They’re just selling to everyone else that wants to heatsink it for a higher price

[merry stirrup]

i could care less

[edgy laurel]

i dunno what most of that means but thats good, i'll just ask you whenever it comes up 😆

[hoary hatch]

How much less could you care?

[merry stirrup]

i dont think ive told a single person to buy micron

like 3%

[tranquil finch]

And antilag or reflex?

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

basically buy 6000 c30 or above 7200

[edgy laurel]

[turbid locust]

Z790 was imported used from China, B850 is new

[wraith steeple]

Final week of class

[hoary hatch]

I want panther lake large igpu

[edgy laurel]

ok ok, but you were the first person in this group to have both

[turbid locust]

yes

[hoary hatch]

But I am still years away from needing a new laptop

[pure garnet]

that’s why it’s the mac power

[edgy laurel]

and now @pure garnet has both of them?

[hoary hatch]

RNG bro

[pure garnet]

i will own his z790 mpower and one i bought retail for am5

[edgy laurel]

but one might change hands again to @merry stirrup

[merry stirrup]

eventually

[pure garnet]

well, will be buying one on wednesday

[merry stirrup]

the B850 mpowwer

[turbid locust]

The B850s are brand new. Myself and Kyoko buying them new straight from MSI. The z790 has been passed around

My B850 should be here Thursday

[merry stirrup]

i may just make a stupid decision and buy an mpower to leave in box until im employed again

[pure garnet]

and when i get board of the z790 it’ll somehow make its way to another tc2 user

[hoary hatch]

I should have bought some dirt cheap memecron ram to practice D5 timings without worrying if I break something

[merry stirrup]

hynix will not break

[hoary hatch]

Is that Peter griffin

[turbid locust]

Floppa will trade B850Mpower for Ram

[merry stirrup]

i have put 1.99 volts into my a die

[hoary hatch]

I'm running 1.45V

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

[hoary hatch]

It runs so hot the top of the dimms have turned red

[steel stream]

[merry stirrup]

[turbid locust]

Watched that video last night lol

[merry stirrup]

augh do i just go buy an mpower

[pure garnet]

i got too eepy to finish it

now i’m watching it in cfa

[merry stirrup]

could care less about any off these guys tbh

[hoary hatch]

Not my tomahawk

[pure garnet]

no thats my tomahawk

[hoary hatch]

Oh that's amd

[edgy laurel]

Ace missing

[pure garnet]

the one haunted by ghosts and ghouls

[shell void]

Tomahawk is right by me because i’ve had no substantial issues and i can run two nvme

[merry stirrup]

the mpower is missing

[hoary hatch]

I'm very impressed by the features offered on the tomahawk
I always thought it was positioned as a more entry level board

[pure garnet]

someone buy my tomahawk

bring it to a church and it may work properly

[shell void]

idk if your tomahawk is bugged or if you just have cooties

[edgy laurel]

entry level of the midrange/enthusiast range, but not overall entry level

[merry stirrup]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

[edgy laurel]

they have much cheaper stuff

[arctic bronze]

No thats peter ballin

[pure garnet]

i’m like 80% sure in retrospect that ebay new was known broken

[shell void]

no more used boards for me ever again unless it’s something old and niche for fun

[pure garnet]

yeah same

[edgy laurel]

i'm goign to recognize this simply because i'm sure you're really proud of that

[merry stirrup]

god i could do that instead of buyig an mpower

just go buy ddr3 hardware like i wanted to

[pure garnet]

floppa do you have an edu email

you get 10% off flat for using one on msi store

[turbid locust]

I mean do you even have a cpu to put in it

[merry stirrup]

no i hardly have an education

[arctic bronze]

Lmao

[merry stirrup]

no

[pure garnet]

if you wanna wait and see if it stacks i can order it with mine

[merry stirrup]

i mean i can blow up my roommates 9600X

[pure garnet]

makes it 180

[merry stirrup]

noted

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/taroaxis-riizeceo-arby's-explosion-burger-gif-10992567690974721798

[turbid locust]

.edu email is 10% off too

[merry stirrup]

how much is something stupid like X79 or somethin

[pure garnet]

that’s what i meant

[steel stream]

.edu is the biggest cheatcode ever

[shell void]

the best x79 cpu (1680 v2) is only like $35 nowadays

[pure garnet]

if it lets me get the discount twice i can just order it for floppa after i order mine

[arctic bronze]

Damn thats cheap

[pure garnet]

i mean isn’t that sandy bridge

[shell void]

ivy

[pure garnet]

its an old xeon that belongs in the garbage bin

[merry stirrup]

i fear this isnt the issue

[arctic bronze]

Isnt ivy 4th gen?

[shell void]

not having avx2 really kills sandy and ivy

[merry stirrup]

a rampage 4 black edition is not 35$ nowadays

[pure garnet]

no it’s 3rd gen

[arctic bronze]

Ah

[pure garnet]

and even still haswell is equally turd

[merry stirrup]

gun to head

[shell void]

real haswell is okay but nobody should buy this 11+ year old stuff unless you’re doing it to oc for fun

[devout ridge]

pull the trigger

[frank zealot]

y'all... rich people are fuckin' weird:

[merry stirrup]

this one comes with ewaste memory if i want to die

[hoary hatch]

Yeah back in the AM4 days I viewed it more of the overall entry level

But now tomahawk is just damn good value

Yes it's still in the $200 ballpark

But it offers a ton of features

[pure garnet]

oh shit the mpower got delivered

[hoary hatch]

What am I even looking at

[pure garnet]

now i gotta drive all the way back 💀

[shell void]

yeah b350 and b450 tomahawk were basically the cheapest options that weren’t borderline ewaste

the tomahawk name is a lot better now

[frank zealot]

kitchen sink faucet

[merry stirrup]

lets hope they put the fuckin doohickey in it

[shell void]

the gene kinda cute

[hoary hatch]

Why does that say $165

[merry stirrup]

at 165$ id rather die than not buy the best board on the socket

[arctic bronze]

Lmao

[arctic bronze]

Wdym, its a steal!

☺️

[shell void]

cheap good x79 and x99 boards don’t exist unless you’re buying from a friend bro

this shit is old most of them have died or been scrapped

[arctic bronze]

Dont use them :/

[merry stirrup]

more curious about this

stuck on code 65 which is cpu innit

[shell void]

ORANGE CHICKEN

[merry stirrup]

no socket pictures

[green marsh]

220 here

[arctic bronze]

Only the best of signs from ebay (ebest)

[steel stream]

where

[merry stirrup]

thats a V

thats X99, not D3

[green marsh]

well yeah

only X79 board sold here is this piece of sadness

and on 2011-3 front, this is probably still a better choice than the ROG board

[steel stream]

somehow just got an exam curved from a 78 to a 100

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/sesame-chicken-chinese-food-food-chicken-gif-26555463

[shell void]

my lunch

[steel stream]

congrats. happy for you. nice.

I could fuck up some orange chicken rn

[edgy laurel]

uhh, nice!

[merry stirrup]

extreme 11?

[steel stream]

chill 20% curve I guess

[merry stirrup]

thats actually a great board

oh extreme 4

less good but still ok actually

shoulda known by the lack of 1 million sata ports

real cool board tho

[signal timber]

I had a dual socket too a few weeks back, good old times

[merry stirrup]

not if my goal is overclocking

i am done with 2011 for home serving i just use comet lake

@shell void

just saying bro

you like big cpu

[green marsh]

well, ASUS X99 is not a great choice for that either, they like to die in weird ways, that OC socket 😄

[merry stirrup]

the oc socket is on more than asus boards

the oc socket is unreliable however has the best scores on the platform

notably on this cutie

[tranquil finch]

I can feel that response time with frame gen isn’t that good, that normal?

[wise bear]

I have awoke

[wise bear]

dont have more than one fake frame

any more than that adds weirdness

[pure garnet]

floppa why is this box so big

[pale grove]

bigger equals better

[wise bear]

jfc

[pure garnet]

1 (one) matx board

[merry stirrup]

yo shoutout the shipping ladies for doing an amazing job holy hsit

boutta drop in and say thank you fr

[steel stream]

for a box that says fragile it's not nearly kicked in enough

[pure garnet]

the doohickey is here

[merry stirrup]

yay

[pure garnet]

i think they put your severance entirely into the bubble wrap

there’s so much packing material

[merry stirrup]

the shipping lady who packed it had a huge crush on me

so i expected nothing less

[merry stirrup]

"please be careful with this its a china exclusive motherboard" 💀

[pure garnet]

socket looks fine

[merry stirrup]

goated

[civic reef]

I am half tempted to get the board now even though it's a bad idea since I can't get any other part 💔

[merry stirrup]

me with the mpower

[civic reef]

Googling that one second

[merry stirrup]

me buying a 200$ b850 mpower to use with a 37$ Gt710 and 18$ bench table

[civic reef]

Oh it's a board?

[merry stirrup]

yes
