[turbid locust]

that guy either makes 200k or 800k I literally can’t tell lmao

[south shuttle]

false, his house is already gone

[livid flame]

Well it takes around 55-70 or so seconds for you to get me

[south shuttle]

that’s why he didn’t respond

[livid flame]

I just assumed he was gone in 3

[south shuttle]

i’ll just use a half of c instead of km/s this time

[livid flame]

So b?

[south shuttle]

yes you got evaporated

see. no response

[livid flame]

c isn’t really that fast tbh

[teal orbit]

the speed of light is pretty fast

[south shuttle]

right, we need to break spacetime

[pure garnet]

worked for me 100% of the time

[turbid locust]

it’s the strat apparently

I think 5nail’s second 9800X3D was better too

[livid flame]

I guess it depends on your perspective

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup find employment so I can buy funny cope cpu

[teal orbit]

its fast in all inertial frames of reference

[south shuttle]

we’ll all agree tho sending pebbles that travel at the speed of light on earth in space sims and the earth turning bright blue is fun

[teal orbit]

🧌

equally fast, even

[livid flame]

My perspective is universal. Light pretty slow, which yes, means everything else is hella slow.

[teal orbit]

it sounds arbitrary

[frank zealot]

got an itx board?

[turbid locust]

nope

[frank zealot]

womp womp

[teal orbit]

what are you looking at so often that's faster than light

[frank zealot]

nothing is faster than light (in a vacuum)

[south shuttle]

how slow are fans when limited edition of their favourite series they shill gets released?

[livid flame]

If it can’t travel more than 1 parsec a second then it’s probably slow.

[frank zealot]

you can, however, slow down light if you get really creative

[livid flame]

I mean.. there’s a theory to that one

[south shuttle]

an infinite amount of mirrors that reflect at no energy loss

[frank zealot]

https://www.iflscience.com/scientists-have-slowed-light-down-to-an-embarrassing-38-miles-per-hour-75894

[brisk jolt]

ive given up on AMD imc shenanigans lol

[turbid locust]

It does it or it doesn’t. I fw that.

[brisk jolt]

Watch me go tinker with the 7600X and find it shits on the 9950x3d

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream @river mountain safe choice - Senn HD 600s, conventional driver, neutral, no thrills. Risky choice - Hifiman Edition XV - planars again (is this inherently not a good 5 year reliable design?) but great bass, great treble, great reviews. What do?

[livid flame]

People forget about neutrinos when discussing the fastest thing we currently observe in physics

[steel stream]

when's the last time you had basic conventional drivers?

[south shuttle]

oh wow

[frank zealot]

except the answer is actually just "sort of"
https://www.yalescientific.org/2024/02/faster-than-lightspeed-these-neutrinos-were-faster-than-the-speed-of-light-until-they-werent/

[teal orbit]

sugar water

[livid flame]

You literally can’t slow down neutrinos. Which apparently have a mass. However you can slow down light, which does not have a mass.

[edgy laurel]

I don't think i'm really qualified say one way or the other lol

[topaz veldt]

a long, time now... like 2020

[livid flame]

So there’s something big we are missing

[teal orbit]

i'm pretty sure general relativity covers the light part

[topaz veldt]

that may be but you were not thrilled with my hd 600 choice eralier

[steel stream]

honestly I would just go for the 600s

[edgy laurel]

all I can say is the Senn's will almost certainly still be working in 10 years

[topaz veldt]

Yeah maybe you're right - they should last an eon

[frank zealot]

yes, it was a calculation error and it wasn't actually FTL:

In 2012, OPERA finally disproved its own findings. The Collaboration found that there were two sources of error that had caused the observed relativity-defying speed. First, a connector measuring the time delay from a GPS receiver to the OPERA Master Clock was faulty, and second, the frequency of the Master Clock was out of specification. The researchers had calibrated the connector when it was securely plugged in, but during the experiment it had been partially disconnected, resulting in a distortion and delay of the signal. After the time delay was calculated and accounted for, the neutrino interactions with OPERA lagged by sixty nanoseconds. The neutrinos hadn’t actually traveled faster than the speed of light—the timing itself was incorrect. The search for an explanation was finally over.

[livid flame]

Open your mind to something new. This is why neutrinos are the most fascinating particle in physics. We cannot slow them, yet we can slow light. They travel the same speed… apparently

[topaz veldt]

yeah and since I am getting the Arya Stealths back... maybe that's the move

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[south shuttle]

also when focus on energy more instead of mass

it opens a lot of windows

[teal orbit]

there's lots of things that travel "at the same speed" as light because it's actually just the speed of "causation"

[steel stream]

yeah you would have two good pairs, one planar one dynamic

[edgy laurel]

my stock cable failed at like year 9, about the only "bad" thing I have to say

[livid flame]

It shows a relationship with mass we do not understand. I just find that interesting, especially if we develop physics to faster than light travel

[topaz veldt]

which headphone

[edgy laurel]

HD 650's. we were talking about it, like 3-4 months ago. just ended up getting a factory cable

[vestal granite]

can physics explain why we call gooses geese but mooses are moose not meese

[topaz veldt]

Ah yes - I am considering the 650s also. What made you go with 650 vs 600

[edgy laurel]

I don't love the feel of the design on the connection to each earcup

[teal orbit]

no but language can

[vestal granite]

but that sounds boring and I don't think language does laser pistols

[livid flame]

Meeses are mice, no?

[frank zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/pew-futurama-phillip-j-fry-pew-pew-pew-billy-west-gif-5364124

[vestal granite]

meeses think thats a bit silly

[livid flame]

Apparently we could make light sabers, but they’d kill you being near them

[edgy laurel]

oh, dude I didn't know anything, they were a gift nearly a decade ago

[vestal granite]

well yeah we can make a lot of things if that's allowed

[edgy laurel]

the connector to each earcup is this little guy. it feels delicate.. but then again it took 9 years to fail

[livid flame]

We just need light saber gamma radiation suits and we are immune

[frank zealot]

you're listening to some "fishy" science

[vestal granite]

we can make near lightspeed travel except you'd have to be converted into light to do it

[livid flame]

Well theoretically it’s possible

[frank zealot]

no, and stop using the word theoretically.

You mean Hypothetically.

[vestal granite]

theoretically, physics.
(mic drop)

[livid flame]

Oh no someone has worked out the science

[south shuttle]

just attach lasers to a pipe

longer is better

[livid flame]

He just refuses to release it for the obvious reason

[frank zealot]

light sabers aren't lasers

[livid flame]

They’re light

[steel stream]

6xx from drop are 199 and are essentially the same as 650s, I loved my pair

[vestal granite]

no that's just the name

[frank zealot]

they're not light

[topaz veldt]

Yah those are not my fav either - I will pick up an adapter cable from Hart Audio

[livid flame]

Light plasma laser saber

[teal orbit]

it makes light so same thing

[livid flame]

Doesn’t sound as cool though

[vestal granite]

hacksmith already did this

[teal orbit]

might as well call my breakfast a coconut

[south shuttle]

you can use light to turn everything into plasma

[livid flame]

You are a coconut

You are what you eat

[teal orbit]

i dont like coconuts

[vestal granite]

I love coconuts

[livid flame]

I sell coconuts

[south shuttle]

i buy coconuts

[livid flame]

They’re still harvested by tiny monkeys but companies pretend they’re not when you visit them

[frank zealot]

he made proto-sabers, not lightsabers.

We don't have the tech to columnate plasma in a controllable forcefield yet

[vestal granite]

i have been described as kookoo for coco puffs.

[swift mantle]

Such a hard pick what do you guys think 7900xtx 20gb or 9070xt

[vestal granite]

yeah but I don't see star wars making robots that aren't shaped like trash cans so artistic liberties are clearly taken

[steel stream]

9070Xt or 5070 Ti

[livid flame]

9070xt. Are you dim.

[swift mantle]

Well look the 7900xt is 529

[frank zealot]

First:
7900 XT = 20GB
7900 XTX = 24GB

And I'd hands-down pick a 9070 XT

[topaz veldt]

I just sort of hate drop

[livid flame]

No no no look. It’s a question of do you have the money.

[south shuttle]

which one is cheaper

[vestal granite]

me too snail and I can't explain why it just doesn't sit right in my soul that website

[swift mantle]

7900xtx but I could pay like 60 more for a 9070 but the vram and bit bus is a downgrade

[frank zealot]

bb8 is a soccerball 😛

[south shuttle]

sounds fine, wb the 9070xt

[livid flame]

Oh lord he’s worried about ram and bus

Buy the 9070xt

It’s not 2002.

[brisk jolt]

xtx runs hot with vram it doesnt have the power to use and lacking in featureset

[frank zealot]

hahahaha you're funny.

The tech is hands-down better in the 9070

[south shuttle]

7900xtx is ok if it’s 60 cheaper than 9070xt

[swift mantle]

579 9070

[brisk jolt]

XTX in 2025/2026 is like shooting urself in the foot

[livid flame]

I was gonna get a 4090 but it was 1gb bus

[vestal granite]

did you know the british used to call football soccer and that's why americans call it soccer and then one day the British were like yo lets call it football do everyone thinks the americans are silly

[frank zealot]

uh-huh

[swift mantle]

shit I got it wrong lmao I got the xt confused with the xtx

[brisk jolt]

RDNA3=milk

[south shuttle]

both are decent, look for reviews which list your use cases

[swift mantle]

Damn I did not know that I’m not to educated around vram and gpus I just know the extreme basics

[livid flame]

We actually called it association football, but for short in the 1800s we wrote soccer

[frank zealot]

but hands down thew 9070 XT is better than a 7900 XT

[brisk jolt]

XTX isnt powerful enough to fully use 24gb bram

[swift mantle]

thank you 9070 it is

[livid flame]

I don’t know why it was written differently. Probably because education

[brisk jolt]

so is the normal 7900XT

[livid flame]

9070 or 9070xt

[swift mantle]

How much power is usually required for large amounts

[south shuttle]

i like the u’s in words like favourite instead of favorite or flavour instead of flavor for some reason

[frank zealot]

RDNA 3 doesn't supports... what'd they call the new shit.... Redstone?

[swift mantle]

Xt of course

[edgy laurel]

RX 7000 in 2025, oof

(2026)

[livid flame]

Hey

Was a good buy in 2023

[swift mantle]

Anything is better then my current setup

[south shuttle]

like favorite sounds 100% lame compared to favourite no doubt 999%

[steel stream]

their emailks annoy me to no end

[livid flame]

RIVA tnt 32mb?

[vestal granite]

yeah and british narrators sound smart

[swift mantle]

No 3060

[vestal granite]

david attenborough with an american accent just doesn't work

[swift mantle]

I’m upgrading to am5 anyways but the 3060 paired with the 7300x is terrible

[frank zealot]

7300X?

[swift mantle]

Built it in 2020…

r7 7300x

[frank zealot]

3700x

[swift mantle]

I think I got the number right

[frank zealot]

there is no 7300x

[south shuttle]

yss the bri’ish version sounds gentle, gentleman’ish true cup of teah
the ‘us residentian sounds like a hawk biting on diorite

[swift mantle]

yea idk what’s going on with my brain today

[steel stream]

yeah american narrators just should not happen

[frank zealot]

honestly a 3060 and 3700x is still perfectly capable today

[brisk jolt]

amd on their way to create some fuckass 4 core R3 now:

[vestal granite]

he'd be like yeah if youses look at them penguins theys got a webbed feets good for a swim guy

[swift mantle]

yes but I wanna experience that max graphic feeling

[frank zealot]

yeah, it's the 8300g

[livid flame]

3 core CPUs making a come back

[swift mantle]

Not the normal or low graphic settings

I could push my 5600xt way harder then this shitty 3060

[livid flame]

You can deffo play ultra settings on my little pony and hello kitty adventures

[frank zealot]

8 or 12gb 3060?

[livid flame]

8 my bet

[swift mantle]

12gb but I know the extra vram is pointless

[swift mantle]

Wait let me show the setup

[frank zealot]

holy shit you're wrong

[swift mantle]

I’m boutta get clowned

[south shuttle]

well, that help maybe when it was released

[swift mantle]

On this card… it seems pointless

[vestal granite]

I would love a 7300x

[frank zealot]

incorrect

[south shuttle]

it’s actually what holds it in many tasks

[swift mantle]

😭😭😭 im ready to get flamed

[vestal granite]

they need to launch more horrible borderline scam CPUs for the new generations

[south shuttle]

3060 - 12gb
5060 ti 8gb - 8gb

at release (8gb 3060 came later)

[frank zealot]

.... the only question I have:

The fuck is the story with the dumbbell?

[swift mantle]

Lost the screws that hold down the cooler

So I had to improvise

This computer is done I’m just gonna use it as a server computer after my am5 build is done

[indigo walrus]

My wife was skeptical about this purchase, and rightfully so - she was onto something about it "frying our electornic devices" when plugged in. However, I decided to plug this into all TV's and computers in our home anyway just to see what would happen.

Low and behold, it was a Christmas miracle! All devices in our home short circuited their internal components the moment I connected them to the Newonizer. Sure, I might have lost my wife, but on the brightside I've upgraded all devices in my home!

[frank zealot]

buy a peerless assassin 120 SE for 35 bucks

[swift mantle]

Gonna look into it thank you

[frank zealot]

I need one for work

[south shuttle]

i need one for trolling

[frank zealot]

difference is: I'd 100% use it

[south shuttle]

looks like perfect april’s fool

just showing it in tech servers

[vestal granite]

they need to make delayed release 120V HDMI so you don't get caught

[swift mantle]

120 volt Poe switch

[south shuttle]

i think trolling like suggesting to plug it into something would go too far xd

[steel stream]

when 240v 50 amp hdmi

[vestal granite]

how many amps is my HDMI supposed to be

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-cat-gif-5858640239144030160

[south shuttle]

kinder surprise cable, regular hdmi and attached to it is a capacitor

[vestal granite]

was space jam based on a book

[steel stream]

@shell void what KEFs do you have again

[steel stream]

michael jordan biopic iirc

kinda like the elvis movie

[vestal granite]

makes sense, I knew space jam was based on a true story just got confused

[fair wraith]

Anyone available to help me find a laptop or define more of my minimum specs so I can better look for a laptop that fits what I need

[steel stream]

man space jam is just a crazy movie as a concept

like wdym we get michael jordan to play basketball with bugs bunny

[devout ridge]

the fact that it works as movie concept is fucking insane

imagine being the guy pitching that to the execs

[steel stream]

cocaine man

hollywood was better when it was full of coke, now it's just full of ozempic

[devout ridge]

cocaine gives you the energy, but what gives you the idea

[steel stream]

and coke

[devout ridge]

lsd?

[steel stream]

shrooms

[frank zealot]

hollyweed's just got all the drugs

[devout ridge]

it’s called hollywood because all the good drugs grow in the forest

@turbid locust @merry stirrup how critical do we think the third fan of a 360mm aio is to direct airflow

if i take the toilet fan out of the h5 flow i can just gravity mount the aio in the case

but the 3rd fan won't have mesh to breathe in directly

[brisk jolt]

[steel stream]

does h5 flow not support 360mm aio?

[frank zealot]

more Reincarnated Slime

[brisk jolt]

upcoming mushoku tensei turning point is peak

[brisk jolt]

nah fuck slime that shit is straight slop

its like a very shit made up political show

[pure garnet]

no it only supports a 280 up front or a 240 up top

[frank zealot]

360 up front, 280 on top (maybe)

[pure garnet]

i have the 2022

[frank zealot]

this means you're weak 😛

[pure garnet]

should've mentioned that sorry

[frank zealot]

they redesigned it?

[brisk jolt]

its on the same level of boring as darling in the franxx

[pure garnet]

yeah

[frank zealot]

womp womp

[pure garnet]

my plan is to just take out the cover where "4" is and just have it hang loose

[frank zealot]

you're just weak 😛

[brisk jolt]

bleh

[frank zealot]

they're apparently starting 5 cours in a row later this year.

60+ goddamned episodes in a row

im waiting for 10th anniversary for iron blooded orphans to show here

[merry stirrup]

bing chilling

[frank zealot]

iron blooded orphans was awesome

[brisk jolt]

urdr hunt is coming out- its meh, im waiting for the main cast’s film where they show Barbatos Adept

[pure garnet]

fr?

i’ll order an aio with my gift card then

lil zip tie action

[merry stirrup]

you have the case right? just see if its kinda possible rn

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

yeah if you can take out the plastic jawn that holds 4 in its basically like a full 360

might be able to screw it in mostly even

[pure garnet]

case useable area is roughly 16 inches

so 406mm

[merry stirrup]

seems legit yo

[pure garnet]

i’ll pick up that power button splitter too while i’m at it

[merry stirrup]

balling out

[pure garnet]

aio till be here in the morning

got an ad for lemons on the checkout though

[merry stirrup]

a sign?

perhaps

[pure garnet]

didn’t get the elite bc reviews said fan sucks

i got the “ml360” whatever that is

[steel stream]

damn

that sucks balls

[pure garnet]

https://a.co/d/1XmU75l one of the aios of all time

it’s for a 7800x3d though so like

it’ll be plenty to let me throw more clock at it hopefully

[merry stirrup]

put it outside worst case

experiment with ice bucket

[pure garnet]

i also have a personal ac unit

diy chiller action

[merry stirrup]

🤤 the methods

it will make condensation its fire

[pure garnet]

well i only have to put the rad in the path of the cold air

i’ve done that with laptops to improve their benches before

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats what im saying

[pure garnet]

just sit my thinkpad against the vent

[merry stirrup]

that will make condensation

your rad has a buncha thermal mass and with no load will sit below dew point

[pure garnet]

oh

i didn’t think of the bill nye part

[merry stirrup]

lmao

really only would happen with the compressor running

trust ive done it b4

just uhh make sure you have furmark cpu burner on standby 💀

[fair wraith]

Can someone recommend laptop around $1k that isn't very heavy with pretty decent battery life noise and good for some slight gaming

I can give more details if needed just saying this to get another opinion

[brisk jolt]

please go and search laptop reviews from jarrod’s tech and compare components efficiency

you’d benefit more from learning than shuffling here

[fair wraith]

I do

I don't usually compare efficiency of cpus and gpus

But I compare many devices and how well they do with things in terms of tasks

[brisk jolt]

Then you should now

[fair wraith]

I don't know well

There is more to it for me I have looked at many devices for many hours trust me

[digital plume]

a trained mind is a strong mind, chicken breast with pickled eggplant at 2:36 am

[fair wraith]

I don't seem to be progressing to get a baseline of what would fit my needs and would like help but everytime it's "go research" or "just get this" some random device

[digital plume]

or i just like to suffer, i do not know

[fair wraith]

Looks very bland

[digital plume]

it is

the vinegar does not burn my throat anymore

[fair wraith]

Mhm

[brisk jolt]

hours isnt enough

[fair wraith]

Research efficiency isn't enough

[brisk jolt]

because you didnt set a clear goal of what you should be targeting

ill tell you straight just get a 258v laptop and call it a day rn

[fair wraith]

What do you mean a clear goal of what I should be targeting

[digital plume]

you have many use cases for laptops, workstation such as engineering or video editing, playing videogames, or maybe just writing/multimedia use

then there are varying models in prices, age, hardware, quality and flaws

i know what would suit me best, because i will study mechanical engineering and would like to do some CAD, and thinkpads are famous in that area

or you might not be able to afford a thinkpad, then you look at alternatives

if you don't trust yourself with used hardware, buy brand new but look at options

then there's battery life, form factor, screen and oh so much more things to factor in

(or just be an idiot and get apple)

especially those non upgradeable ones with little storage

[pure garnet]

95w cpu man i might need hair dryer on standby

[merry stirrup]

i was doin it with a 280 and a 7700k

as well as the 11700k but that

[pure garnet]

either way i’m hoping aio helps me with clocks

[merry stirrup]

is a lot of power

[pure garnet]

i really wanna get past 16th

top 10 would be magical

[merry stirrup]

that would be quite epic

[pure garnet]

although does a chiller put me in the nanny rank

idr how all that works

i know mac said his rank is annoying

[merry stirrup]

only thing it changes is that you technically need to put a picture of the rig with the sub

i dont even do that anymore

[turbid locust]

I can same day a 9800X3D rn

[low sorrel]

mac can you shoot me

im on round 42 in CS

[pure garnet]

so i guess using my ac unit would count as apprentice?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[turbid locust]

ain’t no way

[merry stirrup]

that is what i am

[pure garnet]

do it

[pure garnet]

if it sucks return nbd

[turbid locust]

nah cause buyers remorse if 9850X3D is just straight up better

[low sorrel]

i was like hmm i'll finally get out of faceit level 1 (i haven't played faceit in ages) and ill que with my friends:

[pure garnet]

it’s 400mhz man

[pure garnet]

personally i’m happy with my 9800x3d

[merry stirrup]

am4 oc rig is peak

[turbid locust]

I deadass don’t need it lol I play at 4K with a 138fps cap

[pallid marsh]

horrbile kd

[low sorrel]

ikr

[turbid locust]

I would play CS but like no

[pure garnet]

oh yeah gang what if i told you

[low sorrel]

you should play cs

[turbid locust]

not tn for sure

[pure garnet]

all of my yc runs were at 30% static fan

[merry stirrup]

id be confused cause youre supposed to be not sand bagging

[pure garnet]

so i probably could pick up a few degrees off if i max those out

[turbid locust]

I’m down to play on some diabolical casual energy soon

[pure garnet]

i deadass forgot

[turbid locust]

but not tn

[pure garnet]

16th place in village idiot mode though

not bad 👍

[merry stirrup]

im gonna start doing more benches

you should do 7z and 2.5b

[pure garnet]

maybe tomorrow

i’m in bed rn comfy

[merry stirrup]

that is fine

[pure garnet]

phone was at 5%

[low sorrel]

fun fact in that game

the awp i bought changed hands

[pallid marsh]

is the fun fact that you suck

[low sorrel]

11 times in 7 rounds

[pure garnet]

wtf is this rank deviation

why is a level 1 and 7 in the same lobby

[low sorrel]

oh thats my friend

[pure garnet]

which one

[low sorrel]

the 7

[turbid locust]

Cause FaceIt is just as much of a meme as valve MM

[low sorrel]

and the 5

[pure garnet]

faceit is more of a meme than valve mm

[merry stirrup]

yum

[pure garnet]

esea was the method

[low sorrel]

we were gonna play premier but we got blatented on

[turbid locust]

FaceIt has a working anticheat so infinitely better automatically

[pure garnet]

so does valorant

this is true infomation

[pure garnet]

cs would be great if like

they fixed it and brought back cache

[turbid locust]

CS would be great if they just didn’t ruin it

[pure garnet]

go was peak

now we have fuck go back

[turbid locust]

subtick is just bad. It’s bad. No other way to describe it.

skill issue

[turbid locust]

Jerry never competed in GO

[pure garnet]

not wanting to play through jello is not a skill issue

cs2 just feels off

go fire up go legacy it’s insanely smoother even at 64t

[low sorrel]

i was alot more sweaty in go then CS ngl

[turbid locust]

CS2 feels like CSGO but your ping is just now a 100ms baseline

trying to sync server side and client side inputs in a competitive multiplayer game was the dumbest thing valve has ever fucking done

[pure garnet]

mac how wide is your desk again

well, deep

[turbid locust]

like 78” or some shit

oh deep? Like 40”

[pure garnet]

i think have to sit at one to get it

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel did you buy a new gpu yet?

[pure garnet]

my 43” tv still looks too big for monitor to me from my bed

[turbid locust]

I don’t even have my C4 pushed all the way back lmao

[fair wraith]

Does purchase suggestions count as tech support?

[pure garnet]

that hasn’t stopped anyone here so

[pure garnet]

i’m probably about 6 feet from my tv rn

[turbid locust]

But yeah valve literally could’ve ported CSGO to Source 2, updated the graphics, and gave us 128 tick and it would’ve been massively better than CS2 rn

But no we got sub tick to fix a problem nobody complained about

I think the only thing CS2 actually improved was smokes lmao

I need CSGO with CS2 smokes, thanks.

I want my oled to come in so bad

Qd Oled gang

[fervent scaffold]

Going from a 27” 1440p 180hz ips to a 32” 4k 240hz qd oled

But I just ordered it today

And I want it now

I was going to go 27” 1440p oled but I was told its not really worth it unless its a pretty decently big change

So I spent the extra money

[pallid marsh]

now you need to spend even more money for a gpu that can run at 4k

[fervent scaffold]

I have a 5070ti, which I know isnt necessarily a 4k gpu but was told its capable enough, especially with dlss

[fair wraith]

Made a post 👍

[low sorrel]

nah

[turbid locust]

You’ll be fine for any game you’d actually want 240hz in

What do you play?

[fervent scaffold]

A lot of random stuff, bodycam, war thunder, forza, beamng, recently its been rainbow 6 again, which i know most of those will be cake to run

[turbid locust]

yeah chillin

[fervent scaffold]

Im definitely more excited about oled over 4k lol

I convinced my wife to get an oled tv when shopping for one, and once I used it, it made me want an oled monitor twice as bad

[turbid locust]

I daily an OLED TV as a monitor lol

[fervent scaffold]

We went from like a 57”? Basic vizio 4k to a 65” LG C5 4k 120hz oled

[indigo walrus]

RIP EVGA - may the best GPU manufacturer ever, hands down, period, rest in piece. 😢

[fervent scaffold]

I will never let this card go

[turbid locust]

I was kinda hoping they would come back to make AMD or ARC cards but I think that dream is dead

[fervent scaffold]

Im kinda confused why they wouldn’t. They left cause Nvidia. Why not compete against the toxic crap lol

[turbid locust]

Cause nobody buys AMD or ARC 💀

[pallid marsh]

i do

[fervent scaffold]

Arc I can agree with to an extent, but AMD seems to be doing just fine. Especially with the newest 90 series cards

[random flame]

Well around the time they finally quit, that sort of was the case.

[fervent scaffold]

Obviously not to nvidias scale but still

[low sorrel]

Idk alot of people are buying arc raiders these days

[random flame]

Now though, things are kind pivoting, so there is something to be had selling either of the two or both.

[turbid locust]

the 90 series was literally a cope generation

they didn’t even try to compete cause they knew they couldn’t

literally a “please buy our cards” gen

[fervent scaffold]

Isnt the 9070xt still better in terms of raw performance and cost over the 5070ti?

Or are the prices still up for some reason

[merry stirrup]

bro i hae a random god sub in my benchmate on this os

why is this not online

[turbid locust]

I think it’s half decent prices now but for the longest time especially around launch they were not worth at all

[pallid marsh]

they trade blows in raster games

[fervent scaffold]

I thought around launch they were way better than 5070ti prices

[turbid locust]

no they were the same or worse lmao

[fervent scaffold]

Then they had that driver update that beat the 5070ti

[random flame]

Yeah. That was the only part of that launch that didn't pan out well.

[fervent scaffold]

I ended up getting a 5070ti either way lmao, but I just thought that it was still an extremely solid card

And I thought there was like, not much better in terms of bang for buck over the 9060xt 16gb

[turbid locust]

If you never played RT games, never intended to play above 1080p, or didnt care about power draw, the 9070XT was your buy

[random flame]

The irony was it wasn't worth it if you had a 7900 class card from the previous gen before it.

[fervent scaffold]

Well at least theyre still kinda killing it on the gaming cpu side

[fervent scaffold]

Not like im an AMD fanboy at all, but competition is good

[random flame]

And I'm feeling that now that this "rampocalypse" is happening, it, XeSS, even DLSS will eventually be dropped over time or have slowed adoption rates into any other games that come out potentially.

[fervent scaffold]

In fact I have nothing from AMD but I recommend stuff to my friends

[turbid locust]

yeah and that’s still considering FSR 4 is only really comparable to DLSS 3 lol

[nova patrol]

nvidia better

[turbid locust]

Upscaling tech has like nothing to do with ram?

[nova patrol]

amd driver kaboom

[turbid locust]

AMD drivers have been fine for years atp

Like literally since RDNA2

[fervent scaffold]

Intel cpu kaboom.

[nova patrol]

intel cpu indeed kaboom

[fervent scaffold]

And I have an intel cpu lol

14th gen at that

[turbid locust]

14th gen enjoyers

[random flame]

Oh I know it doesn't, but apparently it's making devs take it into consideration and actually make the effort to optimize their games, or at least the ones who care enough. Eventually, a lot of the big studious might.

[pallid marsh]

novideo had problems with browser video playback this year

[fervent scaffold]

I only have a 14600k tho

[turbid locust]

I guess I can see that but afaik, at least in UE games, DLSS is insanely simple to implement.

[random flame]

Which if they do that, consider why they used upscalers so heavily and how this potential development might affect that overall adoption.

[fervent scaffold]

I kinda want to get a 14900k because I dont want to upgrade anything else in my pc. Even tho everyone tells me its not worth it

[turbid locust]

It’s not lol

You’d benefit more from a 5090 than 14900k

[nova patrol]

kaboom+firehazard

14600k is more then enough for gaming

[merry stirrup]

me when blatant misinfo

[random flame]

I will agree, though even UE5 is starting to get more than just performance patching now. 5.7 is now starting to get better gains without upscaling whatsoever.

[fervent scaffold]

Strictly for cpu bound games. Like star citizen. But I couldnt tell you the last time I loaded that up lmao

[turbid locust]

would be more cost effective to swap to AM5 atp

[fervent scaffold]

I couldnt do that. I overspent on stupid shit just so everything would match in my mid tier pc lmao

[turbid locust]

you and everyone else basically

[nova patrol]

smart

[random flame]

So if Epic keeps working to do that during this "industrial-sized mayhem", eventually even those adopting the engine for building their games in miiiight just be able to get away with getting better raw performance than before to where they might chance just not using any of the latest upscalers or outright just not including them if they find the uplift good enough to satisfy.

[fervent scaffold]

I couldve had a 5080 for the amount I spent on the 5070ti. Because I saw “Vanguard” and went “Wow it looks just like my motherboard!”

[pallid marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/man-you-stupid-doughboy-boyz-n-the-hood-idiot-youre-so-dumb-gif-21698758

[turbid locust]

marginally better performance with the same vram for like $250 more

[fervent scaffold]

I spent 1k on a 5070ti. When they were like $700?

[random flame]

Btw, I've had more problems with drivers on Nvidia than I have on AMD, so that doesn't apply to everyone. Lol.

Gigabyte making gigabytes

[random flame]

Well ironically... They're actually not.

That was the Internet making rumors again. Even ASUS themselves debunked it.

[civic reef]

Aw

[dapper junco]

Gigabyte is currently selling rams

[civic reef]

Wait, really?
Weird, I've never seen any of their offerings online

[random flame]

But are they manufacturing them though?

[civic reef]

Bloody hell.. They are
Hope they start manufacturing in-house or something

Hell, even MSI is a decent hope

They make almost every part you need for a puter; Wouldn't be surprised if they take the ASUS RAM hope train and actually deliver on it

Now they'd only be missing a CPU for an all MSI build..

[dapper junco]

It's illogical from a business standpoint imo. New Semiconductor manufacturing infra is a colossal investment

[indigo walrus]

They're not planning to do this - it's 110% a rumor until confirmed by the company. Also, they won't be "making" RAM; they'll be doing what everyone else has been doing for years: rebadging RAM from the big 3 manufacturers.

[civic reef]

Yeah I just checked, they apparently debunked it aswell

[dapper junco]

SK Hynix themselves are still uncertain about the real memory demands from AI

And the big 3 of NAND chip manufacturing are trying to avoid a repeat of the post crypto price crash

[civic reef]

From my fairly uneducated point of view; It kinda seems worth it for the time being

With RAM at an all time high, with people barely being able to afford it, they could provide a window for consumers and cash in on extra sales that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten if RAM prices were still stable and competition was similarly priced

[civic reef]

If you could spin up a new fab in less than 2 years, that would sound great.

it tastes OK and it helps me lose weight. Kinda expensive tho, but oh well, it is also tasty, so no need to buy candy, double the weight loss profit 😄

i had an infection under one of my back teeth, so they removed it, and the doctor was like 'after the local annesthesia subsidesm, it will hurt'. Me taking the lamest Ibuprofen (400 i think) every few hours for 3 days, feeling absolutely no pain from the wound 🤷‍♂️

[low sorrel]

I had local anesthesia with my root canal and it was so weird.

[green marsh]

i would want anesthesia, but it is so expensive

[pallid marsh]

i would take the nap

[low sorrel]

My parents want me to go local and my siblings are telling me to take the nap

[green marsh]

but i think i leave this discussion, my teeth start to hurt just from reading all this discussion

[indigo walrus]

Honestly, if / when my wise tooth needs removal... I'd also be tempted for the nap. There's a big difference between drilling a couple holes into bone and having to cut your mouth open to extract something.

[low sorrel]

Hey do I get to cover off some of my sleep debt with that?

[pallid marsh]

i was Gutted like a fish and i still think mouth pain is the worst type of pain

[low sorrel]

You were what

[pallid marsh]

my tummywummy cut wide open

[low sorrel]

What you do smh

[pallid marsh]

let my appendix explode

[low sorrel]

Smh

[pallid marsh]

wanna see a 2009 phone camera picture of my open stomach?

[low sorrel]

Idk I had my one my teeth die and need a root canal and I didn't notice until the next dentist appointment

[low sorrel]

That's like a year after I was born

[pallid marsh]

i was the big 9 years old

[low sorrel]

DM me it

[low sorrel]

Not worth it

[signal timber]

Why

[low sorrel]

I don't like blood

[signal timber]

Valid

[lapis bobcat]

I have some questions about OBS and Restreamio, specifically video encoding preset and FPS. I stream on PC. Please let me know if your knowledgeable and I’ll type up the question (kind of complex)

[livid flame]

Throw it in tech support

If I get time later I will have a look

For OBS things aren’t complex tbh

[civic reef]

@edgy laurel Full quality of yesterday's image

[signal timber]

Whats that

[acoustic wren]

shit's burning

[civic reef]

Battlefield V, Rotterdam map

[signal timber]

Hmm havnt played that game yet

[civic reef]

I mean, tbf, it's being bombed to high hell

[civic reef]

It's got lots of hackers, not that worth it tbh

Unless you're buying it for like 3 dollars

[signal timber]

I bought like 4 games in steam sale im broke now anyways

[green marsh]

i got BF5 for free, still have played only like 20 minutes, got sniped from another map /s, left

[lethal topaz]

holy shit. heated toilet seat is op

im in japan rn i never thought it would be this good

[green marsh]

you just need to buy a kit https://www.noctua.at/en/products/nh-d15-g2-lbc/compatibility/motherboards?socketId=13

[edgy laurel]

this https://www.noctua.at/en/products/nm-i20xx

[green marsh]

there are few 2066 boards which are not compatible, (usually the narrow ILM ITX/server boards), but for the rest you just need to ~10 euro mounting kit

(technically you could also request it for free, but it takes time and proof of ownership of board and cpu cooler)

only the kit is needed

[young void]

Oofs ssds are going up over this last month rips

[harsh sail]

I got a great deal before the ram but at same time was greedy over SSD deals and got scammed and two months later got an actually good one but so costly 2TB 180 dollars

[turbid locust]

@shell void were you the one that ordered the dbrand ghost case?

[shell void]

yeah and i dont like it

the flash and ir sensor cutouts on the back never line up perfectly, and hair gets stuck inside

the back is glossy plastic that feels sticky

my dbrand prism screen protector shattered because i tapped it on a monster can on accident :p

[turbid locust]

Oh damn ok

I ask cause my $15 Amazon clear case is starting to yellow and sometime the corner pops out slightly lol

[vestal granite]

i think you can blast it with UV or something and itll fix temporarily and then yellow faster (the Establishment™ doesn't tell you that part)

u submerge it in some hydrogen peroxide and then you put it out in the sun

[edgy laurel]

just rebuy the same one at that point

[vestal granite]

yeah or you could do that and then you have 2 cases and then one can be used by a seagull or something in the landfill

[edgy laurel]

❤️ my Grip case

[vestal granite]

i use $2 aliexpress case and it hasnt failed me now, it even has a little circular thing that pops out on the back to form a kickstand/i use it to hang my phone on stuff

and it only barely makes my hands smell like rusty metal

to be perfectly honest i would replace it if i wasnt concerned that it has permanently fused to the back of my phone

[turbid locust]

Clear isn’t necessarily a requirement I just think it’s cool. I just like slim, low profile, non textured cases

[shell void]

ive come to realize that i prefer a hard matte plastic case

silicone and glossy plastic feel gross

[vestal granite]

i like the ones that are like silicone 1st layer then plastic shell on top of hte silicone

best of the worlds

[edgy laurel]

the best part of the textured "grippy" bit on the side of the grip. it always feels dry and grippy.

[vestal granite]

my problem is never with grip on my phone its with my hands being wet and trying to use my phone

[turbid locust]

If I had the balls to run no case I would

I actually don’t like cases at all

[edgy laurel]

modern phones feel too delicate for me to use no case

[vestal granite]

same

[turbid locust]

Yeah they’re also like $1000 so

[edgy laurel]

and slippery

[vestal granite]

i dont care what "oh all titanium frame" sure thing boss yeah all titanium yeah

the glass aint titanium though innit

fuckin apple

the part least likely to break is the strongest part thank you apple very much

[edgy laurel]

yeah i dunno about this whole titanium thing. feels the same as my 12PM

[vestal granite]

i was really concerned about sitting on my phone and bending it in half and the screen being fine but the frame oh no the frame

[edgy laurel]

ever since The Sopranos, sitting on anything and killing it is a deeply seated fear

iykyk

[vestal granite]

alright we know youre all concerned about the windshield spontaneously combusting so we've reinforced the trunk latch

[vestal granite]

i couldnt watch the sopranos, at some point the family dynamic in it got waaaaay too close to reality for me

[edgy laurel]

[vestal granite]

my grandmother is literally the grandmother in the sopranos as one example

bless her heart but she is not a very happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine

[turbid locust]

Edifier what the fuck lmao

[shell void]

KEF LSX II LT

if i could go back then id just order a set of Neumann KH-120 IIs for my desk instead

[oak vector]

Lmao nooo
Not the “multiple version random shipping”

But seriously edifier

[fringe vigil]

yo

[oak vector]

yo

[steel stream]

yo

[steel stream]

getting a sub?

[steel stream]

What's up with the KEFs?

[vestal granite]

can they do this for GPUs i want to gamble

normalize amazon product gambling

[shell void]

i dont use the sub output as often as i anticipated, and i wasnt expecting to need so much desk/room correction with them, but theyre not bad

im just not super thrilled with paying almost $1000 for not bad

theyre in an awkward spot at that price because theyre not cheap, and you can get something legitimately fantastic for $2000

i think you showed them at $500, that's a much more reasonable price than what i paid

[toxic grotto]

i enjoyed my grip case till it literally fell apart on me. All the glue at the seems came undone and the back fell out from the sides

[edgy laurel]

Thats crazy. I'm on my second one for another phone and the first one looked brand new after 5 years

stupidly solid build

[toxic grotto]

yeah, its probably cause i have it in a high humidity environment fairly often. The glue just seemed to melt after about a year

[wraith steeple]

I got so little sleep playing Clone Hero on my new CRKD Les Paul Controller that I started hallucinating and fumbling words

[toxic grotto]

love the look of the skins though

[wraith steeple]

So worth it

[steel stream]

Got it, appreciate the insight

What do they mean 2 versions

[mild sandal]

I wish there was a handled PC with display input.

[steel stream]

2 different models

[signal timber]

but why would they do that

ship them randomly

[merry stirrup]

build kvm

[steel stream]

they are probably close enough in performance/aesthetic that it doesn't matter

Budget ram

[pure garnet]

gonna assume thats like 8 usd

[shut pasture]

I think it’s worth more than gold in grams

X5 or something

[south shuttle]

the ics themselves yes

def not ram with the heatsink

[shut pasture]

Yeah

Not the heatsink

[wise bear]

gold is like $4500/oz

[south shuttle]

sticks without heatsink uhh, almost

[shut pasture]

[merry stirrup]

not true

just do it

[pure garnet]

nah i got work in like 2h id rather play video games

[steel stream]

keep drinking

[green marsh]

and this one is just plain disgusting

single 64GB 5600CL36 module is 702 euros

96GB (2x48GB) goes up to 1550 euros

@topaz veldt i feel disgusted, meanwhile you celebrate /s

$150 for something i paid 20GBP last february 😄

[frank zealot]

I bought 4 sticks of that (basically) last month

I felt miserable

[green marsh]

yeah, i bought 4 sticks of that for 80GBP + 8GBP shipping (105 euros total) in February. Was putting away buying another 4 kits for a while, then the guy stopped selling them, so i was like whatever, and the price exploded

so my second X99 system used 48GB of basic consumer DDR4

[frank zealot]

yeah we needed an extra 128gb in a server

and.... jesus christ

I saw the price history while searching, and... yeah

[devout ridge]

with the current prices, my best option to upgrade my ddr4 servers’ ram is to rob someone

might be snail

[merry stirrup]

yeah floppa serve is pretty boned

64 gigs of ram and it loves eating it

[frank zealot]

doit

[devout ridge]

i could probably steal a couple terabytes of ddr4 from snail and he wouldn’t notice for a couple months

[merry stirrup]

he just wouldnt notice, if he did, hed just thank you for taking it out of his house

take 1 tray and call it good

i need to get trays

[green marsh]

i luckily have 720GB of various RAM, but mostly all in computers (outside is just some DDR4 SODIMM and some DDR3 DIMM)

[pure garnet]

16gb it barely uses

my lack of a zfs pool saves me many memory

[frank cypress]

I paid 100 cad for 128gb of reg ddr4 several months ago 😭 😭 😭

[pure garnet]

i paid $220 for my h24m right before prices went crazy

and that was bc it was a special bin

im sorry but theres no way it gets that bad without the end user being dumb

[merry stirrup]

game sever

[edgy laurel]

i think i posted that a few days ago. doesn't surprise me. you get one with an iffy quality connector on the male or female side + super low tolerances = melty. what you get for such a tiny plug.

little hiccup during that manufacturing run and there isn't much wiggle room to spare

[pure garnet]

considering the wire is like

burnt like 3 inches up

[spark marten]

Would I see a noticeable difference from upgrading to a 5070ti if I have a 4070 currently? I am not sure if the upgrade price is justifiable

[pure garnet]

the end user probably isn't the birghtest bulb

[merry stirrup]

yes

[shell void]

if youre gpu limited in the games that you play then yes that's a substantial upgrade

[pure garnet]

it's ~40% faster

[merry stirrup]

like 40% or something

[edgy laurel]

don't see how one can come to that conclusion. mine could be doing that right now and I wouldn't know it, I can't see the PC

[pure garnet]

if you find that worth it then yeah

[merry stirrup]

i went from a 3080 to a 5070ti, basically the same jump
