considering I used to be on a 35 inch cheapo TLC tv 💀 💀 💀
jesus christ that was bad

[pallid marsh]

On a 3060...

[low sorrel]

yeah and

happy now?

[vestal granite]

im mag7 tec9 only

[low sorrel]

actually im turning it back on sens too high and im too lazy

[pallid marsh]

Can't wait to see your squad fps

[edgy laurel]

So both 4K, but with two connected over DP, could only et 60Hz? One 4K 240 and one 4K60 shouldn't have been an issue. DDU?

That being said, if it was working before why did you change anything?

[low sorrel]

dlss performance we trust

does squad have transformer mode?

or is it just cnn?

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-smirk-try-not-to-laugh-gif-20026966

[pallid marsh]

My 9070xt and (5700x3d that affects squad allot) only gets 180fps at fsr quality

[molten iron]

I didn’t change any of my drivers at the time @edgy laurel . My main monitor ran 4K 240hz no problems, while my 2nd monitor is much cheaper and only runs max 60hz at 4K. I swapped the HDMI that it was using for a new DisplayPort cable, and my primary monitor wouldn’t go back to what it was before. It was either 1080p at 240hz or 4K at 60hz.

I replaced the DP on my 2nd, restarted, and everything returned to normal. I updated my graphics driver to the most recent version without problems

[low sorrel]

i get 45 at 1440p sometimes

[pallid marsh]

Arty on super fobs get me to 45

[molten iron]

I’m just confused as heck

[low sorrel]

hey atleast it's 27" so any of the artifacting will be tiny

[edgy laurel]

I swapped the HDMI that it was using for a new DisplayPort cable,

That was my question.

Why?

[low sorrel]

arty gets me down to sub 30

the game really should be more optimized

[molten iron]

Is DisplayPort better? I just used what I had and never thought about it?

Sorry.

[oak vector]

here's me feeling fancy with my 1080p 120hz as a secondary

[edgy laurel]

Were you able to achieve 4K60 with HDMI? Is it a 4k 60 max display? Then no.

What do you think would be better about it if you were already able to achieve the max resoluton and framerate of the display?

[pallid marsh]

Display port is royalty free so it is better imo

[turbid locust]

you’re my biggest opp yk that?

[edgy laurel]

Not the point, and confuses things

[oak vector]

DP my beloved :3

[molten iron]

I was having issues with updating my 4090’s graphics drivers from 566.36. Anytime I attempted to update past that would result in this problem…

[turbid locust]

pause

[molten iron]

I wanted to see if it was a connection problem or something so I tried a different cable

[topaz veldt]

Its hard knowing the future

[edgy laurel]

Ok back up, i'm confused now what this has to do with anything. If you have driver problems, step one is DDU always

[pallid marsh]

..ayooo

[turbid locust]

also check ur DMs goofy

[oak vector]

no mac not like that

[molten iron]

Long story short, yes I used DDU… it happened when I was using a 12700k, blah blah blah, I now have a 9800x3d and I built my pc in September.

[oak vector]

😭

this is fake

AI

[steel stream]

it's AI

[low sorrel]

atleast he wasn't taking about cyberpunk

[pallid marsh]

Akn loves pegging

[edgy laurel]

loaded question alert

Who's gonna take it?

[topaz veldt]

bro i don't pay my bills

[pallid marsh]

Depends what your starting fps is

[steel stream]

technically yes, but if you have high enough base fps it's fine

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/peggle-peggle-nights-gaming-gamer-gamer-moment-gif-19822559

[pallid marsh]

Magic hat goated

[molten iron]

It’s a whole thing and I’d rather not talk about it since I’m not having that black flash problem anymore. I just wanted to inquire why my monitor decided to forget about using 240hz and stuff when I changed a cable out

[oak vector]

😭 nooo

[low sorrel]

turn it on if you don't like it turn it off

[steel stream]

it's kinda subjective imo, if you enjoy playing with it then keep playing

[oak vector]

4x framegen

i love turning my games into ai videos 😋
(obviously just my take tho, everyone different yada yada)

[pallid marsh]

Did you set your monitor refresh rate to it's maximum?

[edgy laurel]

I would use DLSS first before resorting to FG but i'm also at 4K

Not in the slightest.

[turbid locust]

@shell void @topaz veldt do we fw the MSI Trio 5090 or nah

[fringe vigil]

if you know this movie you a real one

[topaz veldt]

Dragons are for losers

[turbid locust]

lol

[topaz veldt]

I love Sister Act II

[fringe vigil]

snaillllllllllll

[low sorrel]

how much performance does nvidia broadcast actually use?

[edgy laurel]

DLSS is an upscaling function. You have a 1440p display so enabling DLSS4 (transformer) in Cyberpunk using the Quality preset will internally render the game at ~1707x960p, then "upscale" it using fancy AI buzzwords to your native 1440p.

Ideally if you're GPU bound, you'd do this first to achieve higher framerates.

@acoustic echo

Still GPU bound? Try Balanced preset.

Don't go any lower, not at 1440p base.

DLSS (Transformer) on the Quality preset is what i'd start with. See how that feels with FG OFF.

Want a little bump, FG 2x first. You don't want to overdo it with FG and just wack it on 4x right off the bat.

every game is finding a balance of performance and settings

I just wack all the settings to Ultra/Max then play with DLSS and FG to find my playable point

but in reality just setting to High is probably smarter

[turbid locust]

your computer will blow up if you do 1440p

[edgy laurel]

plenty capable

[steel stream]

i knew you were gonna post smth like this

[low sorrel]

no you need to go to 4k or you will bomb a house in the middle east

[turbid locust]

akn quit acting like you know me or some shit

[steel stream]

i'm 5 steps ahead

[turbid locust]

in the McDonald’s line yea

supersize deez nuts akn

[steel stream]

fuck you pal im driving to taco bell now

[edgy laurel]

poweful enough to play Cyberpunk maxed out with Path Tracing at 1440p and no DLSS/FG? No, but most things can't.

[turbid locust]

fuck now I want Baja blast

HOW IS IT ONLY TUESDAY

[steel stream]

the last time i went to TB they were almost out of the baja blast syrup so it tasted like baja blast la croix

[turbid locust]

oof.

[low sorrel]

can a 5090 even

[turbid locust]

last time I went to TB I got a large Baja blast and took it home and put crown in it

[edgy laurel]

I believe @shell void has experimented with that

[steel stream]

was it good

[turbid locust]

Cyberpunk is my favorite benchmark

[turbid locust]

duh

[edgy laurel]

modern AAA game thats actually GPU bound, a rarity today

well, i guess it can't really be called modern anymore but ts been heavily updated

[turbid locust]

Embarrassed to say I’ve owned the game for 3 years and have never completed it

[edgy laurel]

and well.. and i hestate to use this word but.. optimized

[turbid locust]

It’s literally just a benchmark to me

[steel stream]

i did one playthrough and remember nothing

I am doing a second one

[shell void]

bout 60fps so yeah it can but it's more enjoyable with framegen

[edgy laurel]

y'all are slacking not having completed the base game and DLC

[pure garnet]

this is what i do with my copy

[steel stream]

romanced Panam, quit the game

[fringe vigil]

hi

[turbid locust]

[edgy laurel]

go in trying to romance Panam, realize she's not into girls, pout for a day. (my first playthrough)

[steel stream]

rip my brother, RIP

[fringe vigil]

she is bro

[edgy laurel]

what game did you play jorj

[fringe vigil]

cyberpunk

[low sorrel]

i mean... the same amount of time has past between the witcher 3 being released and cyberpunk as cyberpunk and now

[steel stream]

damn

2020, holy balls

[edgy laurel]

i was there, making my 2080 Super burn at 3440x1440

DLSS 1.0

[low sorrel]

and 5 years before the witcher 3 was fallout new vegas and alan wake and the original god of war

[ripe needle]

Har har smth

[shell void]

more fps in less demanding areas

[pure garnet]

since when can laptops drop memory gears dynamically

[shell void]

^ this is 1440p DLAA pathtracing

[low sorrel]

i watched a stream and had nightmares afterwards

[ripe needle]

5/9ths at freddie

[shell void]

matrix vbios but no manual overclock

well actually it's 1440p -> 2160p dlss but basically same shit

[edgy laurel]

i'll accept that

[pure garnet]

why does discord dim invisible pfps now

doesn't that defeat the point of invisible

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/invulnerable-gif-22484955

[shell void]

actual 1440p DLAA this time

like i said pretty much identical

so yeah it's playable without FG but FG is good

[edgy laurel]

also DLSS is bloody magic

(when starting with 4K)

[shell void]

i really want to try 1440p -> 2880p DLSS

[turbid locust]

8K 240hz TV when

What is the render resolution of DLSS Performance at 8K lol

[steel stream]

running shit in windowed mode on the c4 is so funny icl

[edgy laurel]

4K, i think

[turbid locust]

lol nice

[edgy laurel]

If Performance is still 50% scaling factor

er, input res

[turbid locust]

yeah

[low sorrel]

thats just dldsr no?

[edgy laurel]

not if he has a 2880p display

[turbid locust]

My setup is built around my C4 so anything smaller would be weird

[shell void]

i wanna play with a 5120x2880p monitor

[low sorrel]

when can we get 32" tandem oleds

[shell void]

theyre finally coming out next year

[steel stream]

yeah anything smaller than 42" C4 on my desk would probs look pretty puny

[low sorrel]

when did they annouce it?

[shell void]

32" tandem woled? they havent

26.5" 5120x2880p qd-oled and 31.5" 5120x2880p IPS are launching at CES though

those have been shown off at CES 2025 and Computex 2025

theyll be 165Hz

[turbid locust]

Can the C6 have more than slight improvements from the C2

[steel stream]

probs not

maybe +5 nits peak brightness if we are lucky

[turbid locust]

what’s a TV as a Monitor guy meant to upgrade to dude

[steel stream]

55" G5

[turbid locust]

If you took a C4, made it 5K 240Hz that shit would be perfection for me

like actual endgame

no more to be desired

[shell void]

we shall see C6 at CES in one month

[steel stream]

i just can't see 5k becoming a TV res

[shell void]

it should be 165Hz but i dont think it's getting the tandem woled panel yet

:(

[turbid locust]

165hz still isn’t even worth over the C2

[shell void]

yeah it never will

TVs will go from 4K to 8K because 5K and 6K are bastard resolutions

[steel stream]

yeah that's what I assumed

[turbid locust]

I’m down for 8K I just need DLSS Ultra Performance in every game

[steel stream]

so we will eventually get some 4k 240Hz C series, then 8K back to 120Hz maybe

[turbid locust]

42” would just be too big

[steel stream]

you just have too tiny of a desk

[turbid locust]

Akn we have the same desk

I am using 100% of the horizontal space

[steel stream]

mine is missing 6" on one of the sides

[shell void]

48" could be doable on 42" depth but i dont think therell be 48" G6

[turbid locust]

I considered 48” but idk

[shell void]

i just miss 240hz

[steel stream]

need me a 60" deep desk for 55" TV

[turbid locust]

240hz ain’t the biggest deal in the world to me

When I went 1440p 144hz to 1440p 240hz I was kinda disappointed

I had no issue going back to 144hz

[steel stream]

240Hz would be cool, it was nice on my msi oled, but C4 is just so much better so I don't mind

[south shuttle]

i’m telling all the time stuff above 144/165hz is diminishing returns

[turbid locust]

I’m not entirely happy with the PPI of the C4

[south shuttle]

like 60 to 120hz is like 10x better than 120hz to 240hz

[turbid locust]

Which is why I want higher res

[low sorrel]

imma be honest

i didn't notice 60hz-165hz that much

[turbid locust]

Hellen Keller could notice this Jerry

[steel stream]

yeah there's a scaling factor to it

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-gif-3483847954765933060

[edgy laurel]

this is probably a new favorite

[steel stream]

I notice PPI stuff during desktop use sometimes, but during gaming it's really not a big deal for me

[steel stream]

yeah that was pretty good

[topaz veldt]

Helen Kohler was a bitch

[low sorrel]

i also mixed up 540hz and 360hz at ltx 2023

[turbid locust]

I could see that happening

[steel stream]

isn't kohler the bathroom appliance people

[topaz veldt]

yes

[south shuttle]

you shouldn’t feel ashamed even when you mess up 165hz and 480hz

[turbid locust]

but 60Hz to 165hz? Jerry you are actually blind

[topaz veldt]

I feel ashamed using an 8-core CPU

[turbid locust]

same

[steel stream]

good you should be

[turbid locust]

Wait how many cores is the 265K I don’t remember

[steel stream]

20

[young void]

[turbid locust]

Real cores not cinebench cores

[steel stream]

fuck you

[low sorrel]

60hz to 540hz was very noticeable

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/nono-nuh-uh-waving-finger-close-eyes-nuh-uh-gif-8515142477229777875

[low sorrel]

[south shuttle]

8 real cores and 12 fake cores

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

there is no HT?

[turbid locust]

Oh?

[pure garnet]

ht off is the only config

[topaz veldt]

mac is super mad because hes got hyperextended knees

[low sorrel]

i cannot tell between 60hz and 120hz on my s22 as well

[pure garnet]

if we said yes you'd dig through the bios for the toggle though

[low sorrel]

[south shuttle]

oh, on phone it’s understandable

[pure garnet]

so instead we gave context

[turbid locust]

My 16PM just went into battery saving mode and I thought I was having a stroke

[south shuttle]

you notice the difference more on larger screens

[pure garnet]

[edgy laurel]

I thought my 12PM was fine... until I got my 16PM. Then it felt broken.

[topaz veldt]

i used to think 60 hz was good

[turbid locust]

same

[edgy laurel]

You can get used to anything.

[steel stream]

I thought my C2 was curving away from me and gaming felt like I had horse blinders on coming from 21:9. Few weeks later, was fine

[turbid locust]

They gave me a 14 bro like what the fuck

They gave my coworker a 16

they’re racist

[steel stream]

iPad air is fine, i'd like higher but my glorified notebook doesn't need it

[pure garnet]

i mean they’re both 60hz

[topaz veldt]

they figured your muscular dystrophy would even it out

[low sorrel]

dude im doomscrolling and watching 30fps video

wtf am i needing 120hz for

[steel stream]

doomscrolling

if I can't scroll reels in 120Hz what even is the point of life

[edgy laurel]

doomscrolling at 120hz is actually much better

not joking

[turbid locust]

5nail I’m very insecure about this you know that. Why would you say this?

[topaz veldt]

I am sorry I am trying to build strength thru weakness

[turbid locust]

[low sorrel]

i leave my phone in 60hz mode to save battery

[young void]

I feel no differently about ya mac its okay and anyone that does isnt worth your time

like a good cutting board, you must oil the mouse to preserve its quality

[merry stirrup]

it feels just like a superlight

[rigid smelt]

@topaz veldt in case you were interested in an update, i got them all down to -40 except for cores 9, 11, and 12 at -32,-35,-35 which ran core cycling on occt fine for an hour but then i ran cinbench again to check score and it froze a minute and a half into the test, so i just dialed everything back 5 to -35 and -27 -30 -30 for the ones that had errors at -40

[vestal granite]

this is why i dont play counter strike seriously i try to play 1 premier match just to get a rating andi get an afk and people spamming slurs the entire game

[south shuttle]

poor coating

[merry stirrup]

unfortunately yes

the default its already glossy

[south shuttle]

cheapo abs plastic has pores and pores yum on the delicious fat

[vestal granite]

i have a white mouse and usually every day or two i gotta wipe all the skin cells off of it

[south shuttle]

also (less exciting) there is physical stress that causes molecules to shift

[merry stirrup]

i give mine an alcohol wipe down whenever i clean my desk

[vestal granite]

i get just a piece of tissue and scrape it all off but it comes off easy

[vestal granite]

yeah you should maybe use dawn dish soap because the amount of oil on that mouse looks like one of the commercials with the ducks

[merry stirrup]

👍

[vestal granite]

why you thumbs up

i was trying to be mean and funny but you thumbs up and that countered me

[south shuttle]

please do not touch monitor displays especially if they’re made from 99% common plastik

you get permanent grease marks when you look at an angle

[vestal granite]

its like cast iron pans though

you need to season your monitor display to protect it from the elements and to help with color accuracy

the grease on my monitor adds character

[topaz veldt]

yep that's how its done

[vestal granite]

why are peoples thumbsing up me messages

[topaz veldt]

to support you

[vestal granite]

this is evil

this is evil stuff theyre doing snail

[topaz veldt]

WEVE BEEN OVER THIS

WHY

[merry stirrup]

this mouse is interesting

[wise bear]

It's good, duh

[merry stirrup]

the mouse?

yes its aliright its kinda weird

[wise bear]

No, peas in ramen

[edgy laurel]

when have peas ever added anything to a dish

[merry stirrup]

grossness

[steel stream]

it adds color to some british foods

just color

[edgy laurel]

boy do they need it

[steel stream]

i actually am a huge pea enjoyer

[edgy laurel]

they've taken it full circle and made a whole dish around mashing them up

[steel stream]

specifically sugar snap

[edgy laurel]

that sounds gross

https://tenor.com/view/wether-spoons-peas-lbob-simon-horton-gif-15403518

[shell void]

i will not stand for pea hate

[edgy laurel]

na, thinking about mushy peas

[livid flame]

That looks delicious

Mushy peas are vile as fuck tbh

[edgy laurel]

maybe its good if made well. i don't hate any of the other ingredients

[steel stream]

oh yeah I forgot about mushy peas

[edgy laurel]

but you know what you could do instead? sautee the peas with some onions in a pan wiht the same things (minus the baking soda) and not mash them up

[steel stream]

but but how would it be mushy peas then??!???!?

[edgy laurel]

i dunno about dried peas tho.. who does that

[livid flame]

Yeah over here we use the tinned processed ones

[steel stream]

british "people"

[livid flame]

Dry or “garden peas” make just a paste tbh

[edgy laurel]

these are very good, even raw

[livid flame]

And pea paste is worse than mushy peas

[edgy laurel]

yeah I just don't like the idea of pea paste

[livid flame]

Peas though are good. We should have left peas alone.

Peas go with your roast, your steak and chips, they even serve as a hearty snack. They should never be smashed harder than Bonnie Blues waffle cone

[edgy laurel]

lmao yeah

[merry stirrup]

very good raw

straight out the garden idgaf to wash them nom nom nomk

[edgy laurel]

lightly cooked in a pan so they keep their crunch too

[wise bear]

The key to peas in ramen is adding frozen peas at least 2 minutes before eating that way they thaw out and retain their snappiness

lots of holes in it

i trimmed the shell and swapped the scroll wheel (encoder) cause i also disliked it

no holes in the top of the mouse was me rule however

Hi ive tried updating a gigabyte x870e aorus pro ice rev 1.1 mobo from version FA to F6 via gigabytes control center and when that failed twice, from the qflash screen in the bios and every time its about to happen the whole system turns off except for the motherboards logo rgb. No post code led or anything. Just recently the gigabyte "secureflash" feature verified the file and said ready to flash and like 2 seconds after, right before i went to click it the whole thing shut off. I waited like 5 minutes and rebooted and i got into windows, reset and got into the bios just fine. Its still version FA of course. Why is the motherboard doing this every time it goes to actually update?

[wise bear]

Maybe don't use the software to do it, and use the actual bios flash button

also if you're not having issues with your pc you don't need to update the bios

[rigid smelt]

I went to do the like usb + button qflash like 3 times with different names for the bios and it never detected the file

[rigid smelt]

Yeah i see why this is standard

But i saw something about a security issue in one of the updates since so i went for it

[pure garnet]

you need to format the usb as mbr fat32

then it’ll work in the bios just fine, gigabyte sucks

[rigid smelt]

I had it formatted fat32 and everything

[rigid smelt]

They told me this in 2018 and i believed them but still got my dad one anyways

[pure garnet]

it has to be mbr not gpt

[rigid smelt]

Oh i see

Well it seemingly worked, i was recording the thing i described but this time instead of shutting off everything it stayed lit up and then showed back up and updated

Agonizing 5 minutes

[pure garnet]

average gigabyte experience yeah

[rigid smelt]

Ok noted for next time

[pure garnet]

it took me like 30 minutes to flash an update to my z890 master

and in comparison on my asus/msi boards i just run the update from the nvme installed in the pc lol

i just find them boring

it’s like the bz yap session without the in-depth info

You can rest assured if Nvidia came out with "DLSS Bluestone" GN would be shitting all over it

[topaz veldt]

I would have to google who Airrack is but I don't care enough

[edgy laurel]

never heard of him

[oak vector]

I’ve watched like two of his vids

Think just generic stupid publicity stuff
Public pranks
Challenges whatever
From memory that’s what it was

[topaz veldt]

I have never seen a MrBeast video nor has Youtube ever recommended one

[edgy laurel]

now I find that hard to believe

[oak vector]

I appreciate that effort that goes into planning and producing them
Like.
It would take a LOT.
But idk sometimes it’s just a bit click baity or repetitive

he’ll ride the wave of making people compete in wacky challenges
It’ll die down soon enough though

[frank zealot]

Some of beasts videos have been cool, but overall they're not my speed so I mostly ignore them

[pure garnet]

i used to watch him back when it was mrbeast6000

[edgy laurel]

it is content aimed at children, lets be honest

[pure garnet]

the genre swap worked out far better for him though

[oak vector]

Yeah

gaming for him wasn’t it

[fringe vigil]

i hope bloodborne 2 is in game awards

I’d be very interested to see his viewer stats
But I’d assume they’d be in the 10-14 year old range at the peak of the bell curve lol

[edgy laurel]

what game awards, jorj

[pure garnet]

it was bullying children

he’d go around and dig up like kids trying to be hit youtubers with shit intros

and make compilations reacting to them

I’ve heard my son watching something… my sons 5 btw

Honestly the younger a kid you target as a YouTuber the more money you make. The younger ones watch it over and over and give you those views and revenue

[brisk jolt]

mrbeast videos look like a scripted simulation ngl

[livid flame]

Most videos my kid watches are scripted af. They come off so fake, so amateurish. I don’t get how they have millions of views

[pure garnet]

child is the audience that’s why

[livid flame]

They’re like that bad soap opera but with the rejected actors that genuinely couldn’t find a job so went to YouTube

[pure garnet]

90% of the ads i get on tiktok are like shitty acting videos

[livid flame]

I love the over dramatic shorts. I always watch them. It’s like they have a decent storyline, then they fuck it over with dumb overdramatic or simply dumb grudges and explanations

It’s like.. “you’re so poor why would he marry you”… and they’re both richer than a country

[brisk jolt]

Im not the biggest fan of F1 or anything

but from what I’ve heard and some past race clips ive seen

HAM was driving a rocketship during his domination at mercedes

[livid flame]

Hamilton only ever won the championship in a car that’s miles ahead of the pack. It’s a yolk

Average at the top driver tbh. Hes no Alonso.

Car won it not his ability

[brisk jolt]

“Ill hold them back, Hulkenberg get ur ass here now!”

[slim pebble]

Alright, ultimate question. ASUS TUF or Slimer in my PC. My kid doesn’t care what 5090 his PC has so long as it plays BF6 and Arc Raiders.

I’m a 2nd-year graphic design student choosing between Lenovo Yoga 9i, Yoga 7i, HP Spectre, and ASUS ProArt PX13. I need a 2-in-1 with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, OLED if possible, not too loud, good colour accuracy, and good for drawing. Budget £1,000–£2,000. What do pros recommend?

[topaz veldt]

Master

[brisk jolt]

Realistically I’d slap the TUF in there, the matte look matches the rest of the black case better whereass the AM is “glossy”

[shell void]

the master looks nicer

[brisk jolt]

Take the Master for urself

[slim pebble]

I only have those two, I bought both cards because I’m dumb sometimes (lol @topaz veldt). One is for my kid’s build.

[topaz veldt]

You can never have too many 5090s trust me

[brisk jolt]

Its fine, I got my aunt a B580 so she could be the intel driver guinea pig for excel and word documents

[oak vector]

I don’t even have 1

I’ll get there eventually trust

[brisk jolt]

He’s gonna have a 5090 when the 80 series comes out

[slim pebble]

It does. How are you going to have a closed case where you can’t look at it? 😀

[shell void]

it’s optimal trust me

[pure garnet]

@shell void https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/s/SMfIZeu3z9

ips but the 5k season is starting

[merry stirrup]

sleep

[brisk jolt]

I’d go for the TUF since it disperses its heat slower

I’d go for the Master if you want him to start heating up

[frank zealot]

Cry in fear

and also more than a small dose of confusion

@charred lava be afraid

[hoary hatch]

I need to return my 5070ti
FSR redstone is here to save the day

[shell void]

180Hz??? yeah i’m going 5K next year

[charred lava]

GAA

don't work on that pc blindfolded

[frank zealot]

the more you look

the worse it actually gets

like... why the blower above the GPU next to the PSU? IDGI?

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/tai-lo-gif-7790910211250344374

[frank zealot]

also that case has no feet, so that GPU is choking to death

[steel stream]

i prefer slimer tbh

[livid flame]

It looks like a nightmare that

[gentle gale]

yoga 9i is the best here

[livid flame]

Open psu. Choked gpu. Spaghetti city.

[steel stream]

PSU is terrifying

[livid flame]

Holy fuck the psu wires

[tight oar]

anything better than the yoga 9i that you would recommend?

[frank zealot]

and you know it's a shit-tier PSU, cuz it's fuckin' ketchup and mustard cabled

[livid flame]

That tape looks too shiny to be insulated electrical tape

[turbid locust]

I beez in the trap

[livid flame]

I wonder what will come first. Being shocked or a fire

[gentle gale]

ob ultra flip is nice (spectre rebrand). the yoga 7i works as well if you can find the 2.8k oled option

[steel stream]

:(

[hoary hatch]

FSR redstone will redeem us

[shell void]

it sux

[livid flame]

It’s been announced?

[tight oar]

if you had to put ur money on one which would u pick?

[gentle gale]

9i is the best so that one

[hoary hatch]

Lisa Su will be our salvation
Trust

[tight oar]

cheers bro i really appreciate the advice

[hoary hatch]

I am convinced

[livid flame]

So does redstone have fsr4 for rdna3?

[hoary hatch]

FSR redstone till the end

[shell void]

no

amd says get a 9000 series card or get bent

[hoary hatch]

FSR4 is dead
Long live Redstone

Okay I'm done bullshitting now

[frank zealot]

you probably have to hack yourself FSR4 for RDNA 3 still

[livid flame]

Yeah I cbf for that

Rarely use fsr, just a nice to have

[frank zealot]

it's apparently pretty easy to do, so might be worth checking how

[hoary hatch]

cbf college ball foot

[hoary hatch]

Oh can't be fucked

[topaz veldt]

im selling my 5090s to get a 9070 XT for Redstone

$33/kg

[shell void]

i’m glad i bought a 5090 now that i know we’re getting 5K 180Hz next year

imma be pissed if the only options are matte IPS tho

that’s unusable for me

[turbid locust]

Not in 42” so idc

[frank zealot]

is that all?

[turbid locust]

Yeah I was expecting $40+

[frank zealot]

https://proto-pasta.com/products/copper-metal-composite-htpla?variant=46586442842360&country=US&currency=USD

[turbid locust]

lol

[frank zealot]

95 bucks/kg of filament

BONKERS

[turbid locust]

And like what do you even need a copper infused filament for

[frank zealot]

you can print stuff with it and it will develop a real copper patina

[turbid locust]

lol that’s hilarious

[frank zealot]

so if you're printing stuff that will sit on a shelf or something, it won't look horiffic

[slim pebble]

I thought you were full of shit in regard to matte/glossy. Having the glossy 322URX next to a matte IPS is night and day.

I was so wrong.

[topaz veldt]

321/322 URX so good

[shell void]

yeah bro it drives me insane

matte screens look dirty 24/7 and it’s impossible for me to ignore

[steel stream]

bro I just wanted silly tiger gif

[slim pebble]

TC1 things

[shell void]

i can use glossy IPS but anything matte is unusable i don’t care what display tech it is

[slim pebble]

Is there a 32 inch 4K glossy IPS?

[shell void]

nop unfortunately not

[frank zealot]

part of me still REALLY WANTS a FLP-02

[shell void]

the only glossy lcd gaming monitors that have ever been released are the ones from the company Eve/Dough

that should be changing next year though

[topaz veldt]

I read it "Phillip 02"

[shell void]

bro bought a $30 air cooler and then put $100 worth of noctua fans on it

also the third fan is redundant, all it does is create turbulent noise

cute case tho

[slim pebble]

I always wanted to try an open wall mount build.

[hoary hatch]

Oh fuck yeah,
Local to me filament producer

[shell void]

a lunchtime video

[frank zealot]

threadripper NAS? That seems excessive

[steel stream]

the guys shirt does say backup like 10 times so idk

[odd mantle]

Good luck lmao

i dont actually trust in P5 wall mounting but it could work

[topaz veldt]

TR NAS, interesting

[hoary hatch]

More lanes for more drives?

[devout ridge]

for when you really want some U.2 drives

[solid pelican]

what ssds would you recommend for pcie 4.0

[shell void]

if it’s all nvme that makes sense

lanes 4 dayz without spending epyc money

i haven’t watched it yet

[topaz veldt]

but can also just buy intel server

[edgy laurel]

but what TR

...9970x

$2400

$1800 in RAM

[devout ridge]

cheapest TLC ssd you can find that supports pcie 4.0x4

[livid flame]

People planning to buy TR must be pissed their ram costs tripled

[edgy laurel]

people planning to buy x must be pissed their ram costs tripled

[molten iron]

I shut down my computer and the turn off the PSU every time I’m not using it or when I leave for work. Is that bad?

[devout ridge]

not bad, but largely overkill

[frank zealot]

want to be afraid?

#tech-chat-2 message

[devout ridge]

you clearly have not seen my server builds

[shell void]

optimal

[devout ridge]

put fans on the drives but not the SLI HBAs

i did burn myself on the heatsink cause it was getting very little cooling

(not ideal, please cool your HBAs)

i've given more blood to those CPU cooler heatsinks than anything else

idk how but my knuckle keeps ending up in the fins

[shell void]

@topaz veldt fuggin gorgeous

[devout ridge]

it runs perfectly though, just proof of the blood tax and it's benefits

[devout ridge]

holy shit that's sexy

[shell void]

i want one just to look at and touch

[devout ridge]

touching raw, pure copper is so fun
