[steel stream]

oh whatttttt

I did not know that really was a thing

[edgy laurel]

Hobbit trilogy shit

[steel stream]

I knew they released some movies that were higher but

[steel stream]

I was watching that yesterday, whoops

[hoary hatch]

High frame rate

[edgy laurel]

well, i think that was only in theaters

[hoary hatch]

Okay except James Cameron did it correctly

In 3D, HFR works

[shell void]

gemini man is the most prominent example where they did 4K 120

[teal orbit]

If I buy a new monitor I'll be sure to run that thing in 4k 240 vrr

Desktop should look amazing

[shell void]

are you still daily driving 4k60 mr bbao?

[teal orbit]

Yes

[shell void]

going up to 240 is going to feel angelic

[edgy laurel]

think nearly everyone talking in here minus @hoary hatch is using a 4K OLED right now lol

[hoary hatch]

Linus is glazing his cables rn

[steel stream]

RIP to my 3D LG TV

[teal orbit]

Every day I go to the formula sae shop at school and use the 144/165 hz monitors the cursor looks amazing

[steel stream]

they're so very good, some would say the best cables

[edgy laurel]

wait.. what refresh rate are you using now?

[teal orbit]

Its 4k60

[shell void]

samsung is still trying to do the 3D without glasses thing

[edgy laurel]

oh lawd

[shell void]

theyre putting out a 32" 6K 165Hz 3D LCD at CES

[hoary hatch]

Yeah that's about right

I'd say I'm saving for whatever high res bright af god tier OLED is available in 2-3 years

In reality I'm poor cause I'm saving for a mortgage

Stupid fucking property ownership I should just rent forever

[teal orbit]

my second monitor is currently overdriven to 75 hz although I swear it registered 75 hz as a valid mode when I first configured that

the bezels on the second monitor are about an inch and its 1080p ccfl lcd

[steel stream]

get OLED now so you can enjoy it with young eyes

[hoary hatch]

Do you think I'm insane

[steel stream]

I saw linus review a 3D handheld console and that is wack af

[hoary hatch]

I'm using 1440p 27" Gen 3 QD-OLED

[steel stream]

get G5

or G6 in a few months

[teal orbit]

I have 120 hz on my framework laptop but it has terrible color, and my compositor doesn't support ICC profiles

[shell void]

mr carter needs a house more than he needs an oled tv

[hoary hatch]

Maybe if my grandma dies and I get an inheritance

[steel stream]

😥

[shell void]

put $5K in INTC and itll be $20K in a few years

[hoary hatch]

I lost the chance already

[teal orbit]

6k must be luxurious for video editing when you make a 100% scale 4k preview

[hoary hatch]

$19 $INTC was peak

[shell void]

that was ideal but theyre still gonna go up a bunch

[hoary hatch]

Too bad all the 6k monitors are mid

[teal orbit]

PRO DISPLAY XDR 🗣️

[shell void]

highkey triggered that samsung bragged about being able to make 220ppi qd-oled panels for all of 2025 just to not launch any in 2026

[hoary hatch]

It has like 500 zones at 30 inches

You can see those zones with grandpa eyes

[shell void]

Apple has their J527 monitor potentially launching this year

studio display 2.0

5K 120 miniled

just 3 more days til we get to see jensen in an even tackier jacket

[edgy laurel]

new jacket?

[shell void]

idk how he could get an even flashier leather jacket but he'll find a way

[teal orbit]

I almost want to buy such a thing if it wasn't appleified

[edgy laurel]

snazzy labs had a fun video on turning a 5k imac into a monitor

i think i linked it last week

neat just to see everything you have to do to make it work

[shell void]

fort

[edgy laurel]

why does it look like you're playing at 1366x768

[shell void]

1440p with no antialiasing

retro resolution gaming

[edgy laurel]

1366x768 laptops with the grainy matte AG coating

your sleep paralysis demon

[shell void]

my childhood

[edgy laurel]

everyone used one at some point

[shell void]

480p and 768p matte TN laptops

[hoary hatch]

Big if true

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/interesting-true-if-futurama-gif-26097494

[hoary hatch]

A real shame they dropped target display mode for iMacs

[edgy laurel]

and that was only if using it with a Mac

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/lighthouse-the-lighthouse-wake-laugh-wake-laughing-gif-5252594120951449508

[hoary hatch]

Especially consider apple users: once the guts of their iMac become outdated, they'll just go and buy another iMac or mac mini. So if they have target display mode still, worse case is they sell a Mac mini instead of an imac

[edgy laurel]

it was also really interesting learning how they drove 5K60 iternally in those iMac's, since at the time a display link standard didn't exist yet

[steel stream]

does it go over that in the snazzylabs video?

[edgy laurel]

yeah

it was very interesting

[hoary hatch]

Y'all

[steel stream]

oh will have to watch

[hoary hatch]

I watched men in black last night and it was kind of good?

[steel stream]

the first one?

[hoary hatch]

Yes

To be honest I'm not sure if I've ever actually watched it

[steel stream]

MiB is one of my favorite movies

[hoary hatch]

I feel like I've only seen half of it here, a third of it there, etc

[edgy laurel]

OG MiB was good

[hoary hatch]

I started MiB 2 and wow is it meh

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/better-mib-edgar-gif-15952834

[steel stream]

yeah the other ones are not as good, the OG is awesome

[hoary hatch]

I saw MiB 3 in theaters for some reason

I think it was okay but honestly it's been forever since I've seen it

[edgy laurel]

tommy lee jones is the fucking man

[steel stream]

he just can't work with Jim Carrey that is his only downside

[edgy laurel]

had to look up that beef

[steel stream]

it's just funny to me

[hoary hatch]

I'm so sad

[edgy laurel]

Tommy Lee Jones Really Hated Working With Jim Carrey while filming Batman Forever. Jim Carrey said hello to him during the set and Tommy Lee's response was "'I hate you. I really don't like you... I cannot sanction your buffoonery!"

[hoary hatch]

I thought I had ravioli in the freezer but I was mistaken

[hoary hatch]

What is batman forever

[steel stream]

"I cannot sanction your buffoonery!" is just such a good quote

[edgy laurel]

"I cannot sanction your buffoonery" is going to be my new line

[hoary hatch]

My introduction to Batman was Christian Bale

[steel stream]

"You people make me sick" and "I cannot sanction your buffoonery"

[hoary hatch]

The dark knight movies are something else I've not really seen

[steel stream]

My introduction to The Batman was Robert Pattinson

[edgy laurel]

ngl i'm not into anything before that. as a kid I was but looking back its all too hokey

[steel stream]

I only am a fan of the Christan Bale and Robert Batmans

[edgy laurel]

Batman Forever was my childhood

[steel stream]

Michael keaton is cool too I guess

[hoary hatch]

What the fucking zoomer

Unrelated but I'm engaged now

Unrelated but I've had some alcohol

[steel stream]

My beginning to Batman was Christan Bale

[hoary hatch]

Paired with a Craft Computing pint glass. Etched in Oregon 🔥

[edgy laurel]

ok you had me at salted caramel

[steel stream]

oh that's sick

[indigo walrus]

hints of toffee and dusted cocoa.
You don't say... sign me up!

[edgy laurel]

does the salted caramel come through?

[hoary hatch]

It's still chilling

[edgy laurel]

because thats one of my favorite flavor combinations

[hoary hatch]

I'm drinking the winter ale first

[hoary hatch]

Fuck you you're making me regret not grabbing the last 2 packs and I haven't even tasted it

[indigo walrus]

Oh, you don't say... 🤣

[edgy laurel]

just in case you forgot

[hoary hatch]

Salted Carmel
Salt and Carmel
Salt and straw
I wonder if it's salty

[indigo walrus]

Then you'll absolutely love this... unless you don't like vanilla.
https://www.saltspringbrewing.com/creme-brulee-vanilla-stout

[edgy laurel]

though i'm not much of a porter/stout guy

[hoary hatch]

People who don't like vanilla should meet a firing squad

Okay that's harsh

[edgy laurel]

I'll try anything once!

[steel stream]

I don't even drink but that is tempting

[steel stream]

No no no, speak your truth, it's right

[hoary hatch]

This one is 12%

If there's anything I love about winter, it's dark beers

[edgy laurel]

thats gotta be the fanciest supermarket branded beer ever

[steel stream]

woah woah woah

How dare you say that about Kirkland

[proven saddle]

Pcbeer

[hoary hatch]

huh

[hoary hatch]

Really it's a Deschutes Brewery product that Costco contracts to have branded as KS

Of course that's how white label works

[proven saddle]

Circuit on glass with v
Beer bc PCB = PCBeer

[hoary hatch]

But for the KS alcohol in particular, it's just the good stuff

during my belgian phase like a decade ago, i was drinking stuff it was so dark it was almost syrupy

holy shit the broken camera on that Nexus 5 was so bad

[hoary hatch]

[steel stream]

https://store.dftba.com/products/nilered-beaker-mug I need the beaker mug

Nexus devices were known for many things
Camera was not one of them

DFTBA cringe

[steel stream]

I am glad to see St Bernadus could get into the christmas spirit

[hoary hatch]

Jk the greens are chill

[edgy laurel]

yeah but I made it worse. it was in my pocket, camera facing out. I slid into a booth at a brewery (funny enough) and the edge of the table caught the camera lens and snapped the glass

[hoary hatch]

I went to both PodCons

I even bought a podcast flag

[edgy laurel]

i just realized LOL

[hoary hatch]

Guys what hot sauce should I put in Japanese curry with beef

[brittle trellis]

Was about to launch a nuke before you said this

[hoary hatch]

Can I pick the target 🥺

[brittle trellis]

No you were the target

[hoary hatch]

I pick TSMC Arizona

[edgy laurel]

Oh @hoary hatch i found one I had from that same brewery

[hoary hatch]

I've yet to enter my Belgian phase

HOLY FUCKING BEND OREGON

Incredibly based choice

[edgy laurel]

[hoary hatch]

I forget what the tap and hold search function is called

Fuck it might be tap and hold

[proven saddle]

Ah thx

[proven saddle]

The circle thing?

[hoary hatch]

Ah, circle to search is the name

[proven saddle]

Dont have that sadly

[hoary hatch]

I mean I just zoomed into the image and read it

But I also recognize the words instantly since it's a local brewery

[proven saddle]

Im not good with English

[hoary hatch]

Ah

[proven saddle]

Actually im not good at any languages

[hoary hatch]

Oh ok gona note that

[hoary hatch]

I can't read top left

[proven saddle]

Kölsch?

[wise bear]

im surprised you have a GE and not like, a subzero

[shell void]

this man does own a double subzero fridge, i remember talking to him about it

fridge mogging chat

[wise bear]

subzero is based

food takes f o r e v e r to spoil

and they're so big

[steel stream]

never even heard of a subzero fridge, insnae

[wise bear]

yeah they're like, $12k

[proven saddle]

Ye one part of fridge is 3 to 8 Celsius and the other under 0

[devout ridge]

sub zero in fahrenheit or subzero in celsius

[proven saddle]

Prob fahren heit

[devout ridge]

subzero in celsius is just your average freezer

[proven saddle]

Minus 32 Celsius if im right

[shell void]

Subzero is a luxury fridge brand

[proven saddle]

I tought temps

[hoary hatch]

Is it like a Viking fridge

[devout ridge]

OH

[devout ridge]

-17.7c

[proven saddle]

Still the voyager is colder

[proven saddle]

Thx

[devout ridge]

-40c=-40 °F

[topaz veldt]

This is a GE Cafe, it's my drink fridge

[wise bear]

ah

[hoary hatch]

I have never heard of Subzero brand before but even I knew it was a brand they were talking of, not the temp

Context clues people, context clues

[proven saddle]

Same fealing or something

[devout ridge]

IDK MAN, people being impressed about a freezer getting to under 0f sounds plausible

[devout ridge]

no, -40c is exactly equal to -40f

it’s the one point where they’re equivalent

[hoary hatch]

What else is this supposed to mean?

[proven saddle]

Oh thats interesting

[devout ridge]

in my defense i didn’t read that message cause i jumped in chat afterwards

[hoary hatch]

Smh my head

[proven saddle]

Dont break head you need it

[low sorrel]

so how much do you think the steam machine is gonna cost now

[hoary hatch]

Between $1 and $1000

[proven saddle]

1 if you have steam for 15 years

[hoary hatch]

Shit I'll be there soon enough

Anyways I'm now drunk after 2 beers

Hallelujah

[proven saddle]

How much %

[hoary hatch]

6.7%

[proven saddle]

Uff i got once a big glass with 70 to 80 % vodka and some soft drink

[hoary hatch]

Two of these

[proven saddle]

Beer?

[hoary hatch]

💀

What else would it be

[edgy laurel]

lol these questions

[hoary hatch]

You truly can read and write English but don't understand it

Absolutely fascinating

[proven saddle]

Idk I have in my store such bottles but its Glühwein

And non beer stuff

[hoary hatch]

🤢

[proven saddle]

Its to feel warm

[hoary hatch]

The best thing I can say about wine is it is a delight to cook with

[hoary hatch]

You gotta get some winter warmers

[proven saddle]

Would you drink red wine or white wine?

[hoary hatch]

No and no

I do not like wine

I do not like seltzers
I do not like wine
I do not like liquor

I like beer
I'm okay with some champagnes but really it's more the social aspect
I can drink a margarita or bloody Mary, sometimes

This is basically backwards from my early 20s
Back then I hated beer, still didn't care for wine, and basically only drank seltzer or liquor (with mixers of course)

[proven saddle]

Champagne is bahh bitter with sparkling water 😭

[hoary hatch]

I only ever drink bubbles as a social thing

[proven saddle]

My one friend sends me snaps for red bull x tree sixty mix

[hoary hatch]

I don't know what that is, but it sounds vile

[proven saddle]

Its aka 40% alc

Better than Stroh 80

[devout ridge]

is stroh 80 not also 80 proof?

[hoary hatch]

80 proof is too much for me

[proven saddle]

80% alcohol if you mean that

[devout ridge]

stroh 80 is 80% alcohol????

[proven saddle]

Yes

[devout ridge]

is that another countries equivalent to the US everclear?

[proven saddle]

Idk but i heard its strong

[hoary hatch]

Everclear is fucking torture 💀

[proven saddle]

What level was moonshine

[devout ridge]

“moonshine” is a type of alcohol

[proven saddle]

How you get home after that?

[hoary hatch]

It's easy if someone brings it to your home for your roommate's birthday

No but I didn't even swallow the shot of everclear

[proven saddle]

Ah ok

[hoary hatch]

Actually I don't think I finished any alcohol that night

There was everclear and bud lights
Both are vile

[proven saddle]

How much % does it have?

[hoary hatch]

I did enjoy a slice of cake that was way too small of a cake shipped from new York

[hoary hatch]

I think everclear is close to 80%

Fuck me I want sweets

[proven saddle]

Cake wasnt a lie then after all : )

[hoary hatch]

Is a banana gonna be sweet enough

[hoary hatch]

I've never played that game sorry

[proven saddle]

Nutella

[proven saddle]

Try portal

[devout ridge]

everclear in the us is usually just whatever the max abv is that is allowed in that state

so it goes as high as 95% alcohol, and as low as like 75% iirc

[proven saddle]

One shot for me prob

[hoary hatch]

I played portal 2 (on PS3 lol)

[proven saddle]

Fully?

[hoary hatch]

1. that's vile
2. I don't have that
3. ohhh I do have peanut butter

[hoary hatch]

Yes
But I never finished the co-op mode

[steel stream]

damn some states are losers

[proven saddle]

I want to but i forgot i have atm the googel translated version installed

[proven saddle]

Do 100%

[hoary hatch]

Hi, it's me, I'm the loser

Wait akn do you even drink at all

[steel stream]

I drink water and Arizonas that's about it

[proven saddle]

[steel stream]

Nah, I don't really drink carbonated beverages

[proven saddle]

Oh its 5 am gona go to bed

[proven saddle]

@edgy laurel Day 2 or 3 of using my HD600s. Honestly? May not spend much time in the Stealths once they come back.

[low sorrel]

the what

[edgy laurel]

really?

getting the job done?

[burnt socket]

the what

[edgy laurel]

guys, learn how the internet works its friggin 2026

[topaz veldt]

like for gaming I can't tell ther difference honestly

[burnt socket]

too expensive that i don't know it exists

[low sorrel]

no the stealths

[low sorrel]

honestly it's pretty cheap refurb

[wise bear]

yeah but the issue is that you lack the common sense to just search something you're unfamiliar with

instead people ask like a lost puppy begging for someone else to feed them

like no

[oak vector]

[burnt socket]

@low sorrel you go down with me

[wise bear]

huh

[burnt socket]

anyways

will a bios update allow me to run 6400mt without crashing in a game 😭

[wise bear]

idk try it and find out

your ram probably just sucks or it's a skill issue

[burnt socket]

before i throw ryzen's ass imc out of my sight

i mean

its not updated for a year already

(november 25)

current is f7, i dont think it would do much

[topaz veldt]

what the what

[fervent chasm]

I’m basically finished with the project

This if from my phone

But there’s my desktop, I can switch between FPS targets, switch monitors, move mouse around, click, etc

Audio stream

Just needs a keyboard for the mobile version

[low sorrel]

the what

[topaz veldt]

did you get an invite from me

[low sorrel]

i got a sound

[topaz veldt]

lol i clicked your name and Arc crashed

it knows

[low sorrel]

bro you had me so confused because i checked steam and i didn't see a invite or a ping

[topaz veldt]

did you see the invite anywhere?

[low sorrel]

no

[topaz veldt]

weird af

@low sorrel how do you know when you'll get a skill tree poitn

[low sorrel]

when your xp bar is full on the top right

[topaz veldt]

every XP round gets 1 pt?

[low sorrel]

level

[topaz veldt]

ok werd

security breach kinda blows

but fast breach is win

[frank zealot]

none of which anyone should ever consume

[low sorrel]

Yeah it got nerfed twice

[frank zealot]

Evverclear is a bad plan in general

unless you're making a giant barrel of alcoholic punch? Everclear should not be in an ingredient list.

But it is good as a molotov.

[topaz veldt]

I am upset

I was being vert courteous in buried city

and some douchebag knocked me out

[turbid locust]

lmao bro 8600 on z890 errored

fucking hell

[pure garnet]

hell nah

[turbid locust]

I’m fully convinced Intel users just run shit that’s not more than like 10 hours Karhu stable

Like why bother doing a ram tune on Intel when it’s gonna be unstable tomorrow lmao

[low sorrel]

Finally got a taste of your medicine snail?

[topaz veldt]

I hadn't knocked a raider out in like 20 rounds

I had the same lvl 4 suppressed anvil for like 10 - 15 exfils

[pure garnet]

that’s why i just dailyed 8000 with a few manual timings

[turbid locust]

For real about to enable 200S boost and go about my day

[pure garnet]

like obviously i’m way comfier on am5 since it’s my platform i learned on but

[topaz veldt]

lol lol

[pure garnet]

i had better luck with the tomahawk than i did my ocf

[topaz veldt]

asrock life

[pure garnet]

well it sounds like mac’s apex ain’t doing much better

[turbid locust]

I can’t get a half decent IMC on AM5 to save my life so

[pure garnet]

i’m just taking advantage of winter to scale up my turd

[low sorrel]

Me either... Looks at the dozens of weapons that are suspiciously owned that I can't craft yet

[turbid locust]

I think I’m gonna try for 8200 on the 9600x eventually but

cause it apparently does 2200 FCLK

[pure garnet]

did you check if it was error correcting yet

[turbid locust]

no but 2233 doesn’t boot so I’m suspicious

although I never tried anything lower than 1.15vsoc

[pure garnet]

i should’ve tried limit testing my cpu more

rn all i know is it’s 6400 daily stable but i never tried 6600 or 2200 fclk or anything like that

[turbid locust]

6600 booting but 6400 still not being stable pissed me off a little bit

[pure garnet]

it booted 8000 on the mlg fine but shocker the cheap b850 waifu board isn’t a good pcb

[turbid locust]

Like a voltage could’ve been slightly wrong but

Gear 1 is so forgiving in terms of voltage sweet spots so I doubt it

[pure garnet]

in my experience with g1 vsoc is basically the only thing i’ve touched

i forgot to change vddp for 8000 so that might’ve broke it but i genuinely did not care

[turbid locust]

VDDP didn’t seem to make much of a difference for me but BZ said to basically set it as high as you can until it doesn’t post anymore so lol

that ended up being 1.15v for me

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt u down for some arc raiders?

[topaz veldt]

hell yeah brother

you show as idle

[pure garnet]

i’m on 0.95

[topaz veldt]

vddp 1.15

[pure garnet]

which is the value bz rec’d for 6400 easy

[low sorrel]

tf

just send invite anyways

[pure garnet]

what

[turbid locust]

Well that was for gear 2 stuff

[low sorrel]

wrong reply lol

[topaz veldt]

sorry 1.1 now

[turbid locust]

Gear 1 I left it on auto

[pure garnet]

oh yeah gear 2 says 1.15

i just forgot to change it and i doubt that was the problem

[livid flame]

I guess that depends largely on what you played..

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/get-a-load-of-this-pointing-pointing-finger-car-wheel-gif-2572264087411888860

[topaz veldt]

we tested one game lol

[livid flame]

So you played something that isn’t memory or cpu intensive

Play stellaris or cyberpunk 2077 and see what happens on those tests

it’s something you try once in your early 20’s just to know what it’s like, then never again

[turbid locust]

Too busy chasing settings on platforms that don’t matter in the real world

Trying to full ram tune a system that’s going to be locked to 138fps globally LMAO

[topaz veldt]

meanwhile im just daily hustling 8000 CL30/32 and 9000 CL40

on like 45 blocked 5090s

[devout ridge]

for context, we’re talking about everclear, nothing else

[turbid locust]

In your 20s? Late as hell

[ripe needle]

Hello guy

[turbid locust]

either that or you family weren’t alcoholics

[ripe needle]

Cyberpunk?

[devout ridge]

you don’t need a cyberpunk dystopia for everclear to exist, just stupid americans

[ripe needle]

What is everclear

[devout ridge]

190 proof alcohol

[ripe needle]

I'm not an alcoholic

[devout ridge]

95% pure ethanol

[ripe needle]

Sounds

Great

[devout ridge]

the average for most hard liquors is 40%

for beers and wines, less than 12% usually

[ripe needle]

Aren't bitters 99%?

[turbid locust]

Anyone that unironically drinks everclear has transcended this mortal realm

[devout ridge]

similar to hard liquors, at 35-45%

[ripe needle]

I've had titos once and that was it

[devout ridge]

they just have a fuck load of flavor infused into them

titos is 40%

[ripe needle]

Would be great for like punch or something

[turbid locust]

I got really sick on Tito’s about 4 years ago and I’m just now able to be around it without gagging lmao

[devout ridge]

so imagine more than 2x the strength of tito’s

everclear essentially has zero flavor, other than straight ethanol

[ripe needle]

Just take two shots 🤔

[turbid locust]

That’s… not how %’s work

[devout ridge]

you could put everclear in your car and it would probably clean the fuel lines while it ran (don’t try this)

[ripe needle]

You drink ethanol I drink butane we are not the same brother

[devout ridge]

If you have a shot, at 44ml you have 17.6ml of ethanol with vodka, with everclear 190, it’s 41.8ml

[ripe needle]

🤔 the thinker

[pure garnet]

this is just gasoline

[devout ridge]

so 2x the ethanol in the same volume

[pure garnet]

e85 is 170 proof

it’s deadass just fuel

[ripe needle]

Is it still alcoholic at that point 🤔

[devout ridge]

ethanol is the kind of alcohol humans usually drink, so everclear is essentially the purest alcohol you can have

basically anything greater than 95% is reserved for lab use

[ripe needle]

I feel like that would just melt my throat

[devout ridge]

People usually describe it as feeling like that, yeah

[ripe needle]

😭

[devout ridge]

unironically, that is how it is often described

as a burning sensation in the throat the whole way down

[ripe needle]

Jesus Christ 😭

[devout ridge]

it’s essentially the safe answer to “i wonder what it would be like to chug isopropyl”

“safe”

[ripe needle]

My friend showed me a new way to pirate steam games

And I told him I was not interested 😭

[devout ridge]

good, we don’t go outside ToS here

[topaz veldt]

we're going to deploy into buried city

[low sorrel]

[ripe needle]

What game?

Oh arc raiders

[topaz veldt]

TOLD YA LOL

[devout ridge]

i can hear the silence of my 1175usd kit

[topaz veldt]

my kit is OOS

lol there aren't any for sale

F5-9000C4256H24GX2-TZ5CRK

[low sorrel]

Duos is such a different game in arc raiders lol

[terse sage]

Yo dudes. Wife said hell no to 5090 but I can spend on a 5080. I’m wanting to upgrade from a 3090 and can sell the 3090 for around $700. What do you guys think?

99% gaming use

[zenith fog]

[topaz veldt]

imho... as a person... the 5080 is not as good of a buy

if you can get a 5090 for like $2500-2750 you'll sell it for $2k, but 5080 at $1100-1200 will sell for $800

[turbid locust]

We had this conversation yesterday and determined the 5090 was the better buy, but wife said no, so I guess 5080 is the option lol

[zenith fog]

Could get a used 7900xtx for around 700 and get a bump from the 3090

[turbid locust]

Nvidia completely trolled the 5080 ngl. They could’ve given it 24GB vram and sold it for like $1400 lmao

[gentle gale]

why not just a new 9070xt or 5070ti atp

[zenith fog]

The 7900xtx performs better?

[topaz veldt]

5080 is not good

7900XTX ewaste

[gentle gale]

yeah but shit feature set

[zenith fog]

And still has more vram

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gentle gale]

like you’ll need it with rdna3 tho

16 is more than enough

[topaz veldt]

wtf you going to do with 24GB of VRAM on a RDNA3

[turbid locust]

5% at best for significantly more power lol

worse RT, worse upscaling, etc

7900XTX just isn’t good rn

(ask me how i know)

[zenith fog]

I traded my old 5070 for my current 7900xtx straight trade

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-mad-skeleton-gif-10886506202898815019

[zenith fog]

I think that’s a good trade

[turbid locust]

Doubled your power draw for 31% performance, worse RT, worse upscaling, and worse framegen lmao.

[zenith fog]

I don’t need ray tracing though

Or frame gen

[turbid locust]

Like if you wanted pure raster perf then I guess but lmao

[topaz veldt]

and EOL platform

[turbid locust]

right now

[zenith fog]

Just need raw raster

[topaz veldt]

you can decide for you

[zenith fog]

I only play modded MC

[topaz veldt]

but I would not have taken that trade

[turbid locust]

50 series will age like fine wine cause MFG and DLSS 4

[zenith fog]

Meh it was worth it for my application

[turbid locust]

In that case you’d be fine on a 2080Ti lmao

[zenith fog]

Nah that’d be horrible

[turbid locust]

What’s the rest of your system spec

[zenith fog]

5700x3d/64gb ddr4 3600 cl16 / 7900xtx / 1440p165hz monitor

[turbid locust]

prioritizing gpu over cpu and ram for modded minecraft is moderately hilarious

[zenith fog]

I got the ram for $50

[turbid locust]

Like that’s basically endgame for DDR4 but like lol

[brisk jolt]

nah haswell is all he needs

[turbid locust]

real 💯

[zenith fog]

I’m playing all the mods

400+ mods, kinda need somewhat decent

[turbid locust]

but yeah anyways Minecraft can be maxed out graphically by a 3060 at 1440p lmao

[zenith fog]

But anyways I use shaders

[turbid locust]

Unless you’re running RT shaders or some shit

[brisk jolt]

mf using shaders like we know which ones

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[zenith fog]

Seus ptge

[turbid locust]

…aren’t those RT lmao

[zenith fog]

No

Or I have the setting disabled

[turbid locust]

Idk man I was getting very playable framerates on a GTX 1080 on Seus at one point lmao

[zenith fog]

All I know is that I only get around 120fps maxed out on shaders settings

That’s also with my fans at atleast 70% or else it’ll thermal throttle

[low sorrel]

No

[turbid locust]

Almost like your gpu now draws 500W instead of 250W

[zenith fog]

Yes I’ve repasted and used thermalright Helios too

[low sorrel]

I just realized that my case is terrible for airflow

Like worse then an h510

[turbid locust]

But yeah nobody should be outright buying an XTX nowadays

[zenith fog]

Power draw isn’t really a concern though

[turbid locust]

…where do you think heat comes from

[low sorrel]

So first you have the birds and the bees

[topaz veldt]

power draw is heat

Nevermind that a 7900 XTX .... heat = pump out nightmare

[turbid locust]

“Power draw isn’t a concern, I just have to run my fans at 70% otherwise it overheats.”

[topaz veldt]

My son still talks about my white taichi but then I remind him how the PC he plays on isn't a furnace

[turbid locust]

Idk how the math maths but my 600W 5090 is cooler than my 470W XTX

some scientist explain that shit

[low sorrel]

5nail do you have an Built in house vaccum

[zenith fog]

I dont have a case

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

like central vac?

[topaz veldt]

that's... not what I said

[topaz veldt]

That's cool - I don't have a mortgage, but that doesn't matter in this discussion

[zenith fog]

You’re probably ancient compared to me so

I wouldn’t doubt it

[topaz veldt]

but its unequivocally irrelevant

pump out has nothing to do with cases

[turbid locust]

My XTX managed to pump out PTM 7950 lmao

[topaz veldt]

genuine?

I didn't bother - I just repasted like every 30 days LOL

but also 575-600W

[zenith fog]

to be fair its been a few months since Ive put the pad on so maybe its time to re apply?

[topaz veldt]

I blame the chiplet design

[turbid locust]

[zenith fog]

i bought it september 1 so its been 4 months

[low sorrel]

Yeah yeah snail and so do renters

[low sorrel]

Yeah

This shit is so nice I can vaccum at midnight

So much quieter then the stick vacuum my parents bought when they first moved here

[livid flame]

When you buy fake PTM and it leaks

[topaz veldt]

yeah def not

[topaz veldt]

but I don't have rent

[livid flame]

Yeah snail is very fortunate and hard working

[turbid locust]

“leaks”

[topaz veldt]

yea until the main ducts are clogged - I just pay house keepers

[turbid locust]

it worked fine

[livid flame]

If you think someone that can afford to buy 5x 5090 rents you’re pure moron

[topaz veldt]

the latter half is true

I got a 6.5% raise on Jan 1

ordinary is prob 3-4% this year

[livid flame]

You’re fortunate. Even if now is not a good time friend ❤️

[topaz veldt]

Its grinding brother

[livid flame]

Last year I got 3%. The yeah before 24% (proper pay rise not just inflation)

Im still poor as crap but it helps

[topaz veldt]

I am in the land of 4 - 6% being like $17k+

[livid flame]

1% for me is £400

[topaz veldt]

My group (of 8 which I lead) hit 109% of our target

Dram gona fuck Sony over and console players big time

[turbid locust]

It so funny seeing console users online making fun of pc gaming and shit rn because like… this shit also hurts them lmao

[livid flame]

A few large companies apparently got dev kits in the summer

Which normally says 12-18 months for release of console

[turbid locust]

I have a Series X collecting dust for whatever reason I need a console for something

With how much GTA 6 has been delayed it should just release on PC day 1 ngl

[topaz veldt]

nah

[livid flame]

If consoles had better mouse and keyboard native support and steam game access I’d use one tbh

[turbid locust]

“If consoles were just PC’s I’d use one”

[livid flame]

It’s only delayed because they sacked like 20% of work force including department heads

[turbid locust]

rumor apparently

[brisk jolt]

the console glazers are something else though ngl

[turbid locust]

Consoles will always be a better value for someone that simply just wants to play games

[low sorrel]

Apparently the meta is herbal bandage + vita shot

Pop the herbal bandage first and then use vita shot and you're at full HP by the time the vita shot pops

[topaz veldt]

[turbid locust]

I haven’t been following it really but I generally don’t agree with US involvement in… anywhere that isn’t the US lol

[topaz veldt]

Election: Maduro loses
Day after election: Maduro doesn't step down
2 Days after election: Increase fent export into US via small vessels

[low sorrel]

Dawg I know my politics Im just immediately dipping anytime it comes up

[topaz veldt]

I would agree with you except I live in Philly

This is the result of Venezuela in Philly

"Dead people don't recover"

[turbid locust]

I would love to see the US go back to WW2 era isolationism. Minimal involvement with foreign nations, very minimal foreign policy, rely on ourselves but.

Kinda unrealistic nowadays

[topaz veldt]

Yes but first we need to rid the world of global terrorists

[turbid locust]

lowkey not our problem till it imposes a risk to US citizens imo

[topaz veldt]

I know its unpopular but I step over OD victims bro

The risk is real

[turbid locust]

secure the borders

[topaz veldt]

We have - thats why we're droning boats

but they won't stop - then we're accused of killing "fishermen"

[turbid locust]

Feel like exploding Venezuela doesn’t really stop shit coming from Mexico lmao

[topaz veldt]

Its a socio-political nightmare

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

Maduro is a tyrant - literally a Far Cry character

it needs to be shut down

[turbid locust]

Feels very Vietnam ish to me

[topaz veldt]

Nah not even close

[low sorrel]

No shit New York Times, if y'all knew where maduro was about 800000 people fucked up

[topaz veldt]

Nam is a totally different scenario

[turbid locust]

Indirectly

[topaz veldt]

Go visit Kensington and Allegheny in Philly and let me know if it changes your mind

[turbid locust]

Im not necessarily disagreeing with you

You don’t go shut off the main in the street to stop a leak in your house, yk

[topaz veldt]

unless you do, because the main is the main

[turbid locust]

Like I said I haven’t been closely following because quite frankly the news and politics in general depresses the fuck out of me so I have limited insight

[topaz veldt]

its too close to me

[turbid locust]

That’s fair

[topaz veldt]

Previous admins blew up weddings without issue

now they're blowing up boats carrying 1200 lbs of fent and people question it

I pretty much am either 9001% one or the other: wanting a passionately intelligent conversation with people who care just as much as I do, or wanting almost no interaction with humans at all.

[turbid locust]

I just struggle to have conversations with a lot of people in general

Cause you’ll be mid conversation and just:

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-kurt-angle-100-yard-stare-what-are-you-serious-gif-4081464694509837388

like holy shit reality hasn’t hit you at all has it pal?

idk I’ve always struggled since I was like 15 ngl

Since that age I’ve been very commonly mistaken to be several years older than I am

And it’s not like an “oh I’m just more mature” cliche thing it’s just…

idk how to even explain it. It’s hard.

No other 22 year old is hyperfixating on their finances and shit like I do for example lol

but yeah anyway TC2 dump COMPLETE

@topaz veldt apparently Chinese officials arrived in Venezuela a few hours before the strikes

Kirashi are we allowed to vaugepost about politics if it stays civil lol

[topaz veldt]

The Chinese wouldn't lie, right?

[brittle trellis]

The Chinese have famously never lied about anything at all

[indigo walrus]

It's preferable if we didn't, since, you know, #rules and all, but also... if events drive up the cost of tech, well then... some might consider that tech related. 🤷 Civil, constructive, intelligent conversation is better than no conversation IMO, but that's just, like, my opinion, maaaaaaaaaaaan. Just don't overdo anything.

[indigo walrus]

Thing is, everything is connected in some way, so eventually it'll trickle into logistics channels and disrupt common goods, including technology items. Oddly enough, gas prices came down to as low as I've seen them in months in Western Canada over the holidays. 🤷 I still want a hybrid vehicle, but for now... gas is tenable.

[turbid locust]

It’s been bouncing between 2.60 and 2.80 for the last few months

I’m sure it breaks $3/gal soon with the current events

[low sorrel]

So computers huh

[indigo walrus]

Yee, unless you live in one of those towns where gas is always more money than even just 20 minutes down the road in the next town. Like my town. It's hilarious on the island because all the gas comes from 1 or 2 suppliers so like... in theory, the price should be MORE the further away from the ferries the gas station is. And yet...

[turbid locust]

Gas is always cheapest at the midpoint of the drive between mine and my folks house. Idk why.

How bad would it be if I’m using 4800mhz ram with 7800x3d and a 4070 ti super

Gf has a ms-a1 as her pc right now and it has 64gb of sodimm, considering reusing that ram with adapter for her proper pc build

Wondering if I’m gonna be using slower ram, is it better to just go with something more basic like the 7600x/7700x

[livid flame]

Not as bad as you think. For gaming vcache heavy lifts

[burnt socket]

as a 6000 7600 5060 ti user: uh

[livid flame]

Well you’re a pleb but don’t need to live in a swamp

It’d be worse to have a 7600x with 4800mhz ram than a 7800x3d

[burnt socket]

7600 6000 vs 7800x3d 4800

which is better 😭

[livid flame]

No idea.

For productivity the 7600x for sure. For gaming? Probably still the 7800x3d but I dunno. Never benchmarked or researched that deep into ram speeds on gaming.

Give it a manual overclock

I’m sure you can increase it

What the base / JEDEC?

with a b840 😔

not even the system likes cpu clock control from 100 to 101

in performance

[burnt socket]

why is a 4070 ti s on 1080p

[grim fulcrum]

I think I gained like 15-25% overall in games when compared

[grim fulcrum]

I gave her my GPU, I went with a 5080

[burnt socket]

💸

[grim fulcrum]

It’s hella unbalanced but it’s a white gpu too, she wants a white build

[grim fulcrum]

Yeah but I ain’t paying for anything beyond 6000 series with how nvidia is going about gpus

[burnt socket]

💸

[burnt socket]

yep

time to go intel arc

[grim fulcrum]

She got expensive taste, hyte y70 touch as well

[burnt socket]

😳

[grim fulcrum]

But ain’t gonna yuck her yum, I’ll just help her source parts and build

[burnt socket]

what does she use on the screen 😭

[grim fulcrum]

“Pretty”

[burnt socket]

is it 'it'?

[burnt socket]

i regretted paying rgb tbh

[brisk jolt]

fat as fuck case

[haughty monolith]

Fatter than the y60?

[brisk jolt]

yes

then again mines also pretty fat

[haughty monolith]

Pretty lean compared to the y60

[grim fulcrum]

No lol

She just likes the aesthetic

[grim fulcrum]

It is but it’s her build

I have 7000d so I can’t judge too lmao

[burnt socket]

the ram 120 mil 😭

[turbid locust]

a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli

[brisk jolt]

a million cigarettes

[burnt socket]

oh

120 million dollars

[random flame]

Ngl, this thing might be better off for a router build or something.

[brave panther]

not really

you dont need that much ram for routing

[random flame]

I know, which is also the weird part about finding an actually useful purpose for a board like that one in particular.

[oak vector]

I agree

[oak vector]

AI slop 😍

@pure garnet @merry stirrup @shell void I think I’m becoming just as bad as @topaz veldt . Second ones for sure better right? Best Buy bin plz

[brisk jolt]

macbinmacbinmacbin

[shell void]

macintosh why are you binning CPUs for gear 1 when you bought a 1dpc OC board

[burnt socket]

it's kind of ridiculous that other markets can get amd CPUs for cheap and yet ours is marked up high even if we make it here

[arctic bronze]

Mac&Cheese, you cant become addicted

[shell void]

EIGHT

[brisk jolt]

@turbid locust you shouldve waited for the 9850x3d since its speculated to be a new silicon and having better memory controller, you could be our guinea pig

[turbid locust]

The 6400 chips are doing 8400

but gear 1 still cool too tho

[lethal oar]

i was thinking that in 2-3 years i would start looking into getting a pc upgrade, and in the meantime i would upgrade my ram around this time...
unfortunately, ai happened, and now my plan of going for 32 gigs in addition to the 16 i have has gone to shit, so i'm thinking of getting another 16
my question is, should i wait it out with the 16 i already have, and start saving up earlier for the pc, or what should i do?

[hoary hatch]

Thefuck

2028

💀

[shell void]

the spec ratifications are so slow

asus put out wifi 7 routers in 2023 and the spec wasnt done until recently

[wraith steeple]

What a fucking morning to wake up to

https://tenor.com/view/escalated-quickly-anchorman-drinking-gif-5112090

Anyway

How's TC2?

[oak vector]

Lmao why?

[topaz veldt]

Bro they captured Maduro!

[oak vector]

Bestbuy bin my beloved

[wraith steeple]

2026 is already proving to be a wilder ride than 2025, and it's only the third day

[edgy laurel]

why so cryptic lol

[wraith steeple]

Then there's the Regime in Iran that is well.... Let's say that the grim reaper is in the subdivision

I saw that one coming a country mile away

[topaz veldt]

This is an awesome timeline

[turbid locust]

ik lol

[topaz veldt]

Fucking amazing

[turbid locust]

I’m not paying $800 for an 8 core cpu

[pure garnet]

gl

[shell void]

the price goes up every time that we meme it

[brisk jolt]

yeah you right you're gonna be paying $799

[turbid locust]

$500 for an 8 core is already kind of sickening

[shell void]

it seems like it's going to be $500 but we'll find out from mother lisa in two days

[turbid locust]

If it’s that much better I just return the 9800X3D it’s not a big deal

[brisk jolt]

if its in 9950x3d region im not considering one

for pricing

[turbid locust]

I don’t even really think it’s going to be that good

I might be a 5% buff. They won’t want to encroach on Zen 6.

[shell void]

im expecting it to be just +400MHz but if it's the same price then whatever

[turbid locust]

It’s like how people coped with zen 3X3D on zen 4 release

[shell void]

in that case there's no sense in keeping the 9800X3D that you just bought unless it has golden memory controllers

[turbid locust]

Can’t wait for my 1.27vsoc 6000 bin

[shell void]

xD

[turbid locust]

At this point it would just be funny

[hoary hatch]

Ubiquiti seems to be a tad slower on introducing new wifi specs

[turbid locust]

I’ll just be the only guy in the universe that simply cannot get a 6400 1:1 AM5 chip

[hoary hatch]

In general I don't like integrated router/AP units

[pure garnet]

$999

$1199 for guaranteed 8400 sample

[oak vector]

😭

[pure garnet]

realistically i think $529 is max they’ll try and get

[turbid locust]

I think if it’s not $650 the 9800X3D is just obsolete

[pure garnet]

i would assume it would just replace it if they can reliably bin for it

[fervent scaffold]

Just got my 4k oled in. My eyes hurt. Lmao

So much color

[shell void]

i think it'll be $500 flat

either that or the exact same $480 as the 9800X3D

[sly grove]

I have the ryzen 5600x is that decent cpu for budget build i cant see myself spend $$$

?

[pure garnet]

i would imagine it’ll be somewhat more

[turbid locust]

I don’t think it makes sense to be less than $600

Anyways. 11:24am

I don’t think I asked

[copper bone]

Hey guys my PC sometimes starts making a high pitch noise. Mostly after booting up from sleepmode. Anyone knows why?

not yet

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[copper bone]

its a constant high pitched noise

until i reboot my pc

well that could make sense, but the sound is not always

[steel stream]

I am so cooked, had a dream last night about finding dead pixels on my C4 that felt so real I had to get out of bed and check

[edgy laurel]

been there. feels great when you realize it was a dream lol

[steel stream]

so relieved lol, I found like 8 dead pixels in the dream so I shot out of bed

[pure garnet]

bro dreaming of doom

[steel stream]

more a nightmare I guess

[pure garnet]

mac gonna start dreaming about buying more am5 cpus
