tech-chat-2

[gentle gale]

good to know. glad i skipped it

[low sorrel]

wait was my hdr borked my last windows install?

[steel stream]

looks like a shitty hoverboard

[low sorrel]

the hdr calibration tool just gave me a compeletely different nit figure then last time

[steel stream]

🤷

[slim pebble]

It doesn’t compare even a little with the original Aorus. I think the big change is that it can fit into a smaller space

[steel stream]

nah man what do you mean 7% is totally worth it

[turbid locust]

real

[steel stream]

So Mac when are you buying one

[turbid locust]

launch

[mild sentinel]

[steel stream]

you shall receive a 9800x3d in the mail instead

[turbid locust]

no

[steel stream]

oh

[turbid locust]

I will somehow still get a dogshit IMC tho

[steel stream]

that's just life

[low sorrel]

how old of a driver do you think windows auto installed any bets?

[brisk jolt]

he gon receive a 9850x3d sample so bad it makes my previous 9800x3d look like absolute godbin

[heavy spire]

Binned for 6000 1.3vsoc

[turbid locust]

💯

[low sorrel]

god damn

[steel stream]

would just end it all tbh

[mild sentinel]

time to close the stream no 9850x3d mentioned

[brisk jolt]

you forgot the CL36

[steel stream]

blow my shit smooth off

[hoary hatch]

snek

[turbid locust]

Donald Trump mentioned before a Ryzen desktop cpu

[brisk jolt]

I imagine theres a guy out there with a godforsakened bin that only does 6000 at 1.3 vsoc and they wonder why EXPO doesnt work for them

[pure garnet]

did they do price

[turbid locust]

Apparently that’s happened

[heavy spire]

Seen a few of those

[turbid locust]

If I get a chip that can’t do 6000 I will personally explode AMD HQ

(NSA that’s a joke btw)

[brisk jolt]

Im returning it straight to the AMD office 5 minutes from my house

[turbid locust]

lol nice

“AI” 4 times in one sentence there I think

I swear to god iPhone auto correct might be the dumbest shit on the planet

I typed “in one sentence” and it corrected it to “inconsistency”

are we fucking stupid

iOS 26 is actually a piece of shit I swear to god

[topaz veldt]

So.... Like 0-1% in the shit I play

[turbid locust]

I would like to see some more substantial testing

[opal jasper]

was browsing my local fb marketplace

someone didnt look up recent ram prices

[brisk jolt]

Its basically 0% from like 1080p high settings tbh

[shell void]

hardware unboxed

[opal jasper]

what in the world is this banger of a description of a listing

[edgy laurel]

so y'all just go from caring about +1% benchmark improvements when it suits you or.. how does that work

this kinda minor bump thing seems like exactly what you'd want if Benchmate is your game of choice

[turbid locust]

I was more interested in the unconfirmed improved IMC rumors that probably aren’t real lol

[brisk jolt]

increase boost clock by like 400mhz and increase the price by $100

sounds bout right

[opal jasper]

I also like on the top right they are using intel as the comparison point instead of each other because the uplift is minimal lol

[turbid locust]

I mean I was intending to grab a 9800X3D to daily, this was just kind of good timing for me

[edgy laurel]

cheaper now?

[turbid locust]

basically the same price if rumors are to be believed

so like why not

[opal jasper]

but then 9800x3d price will drop a bit i assume?

[turbid locust]

Doubt it

[brisk jolt]

question is did they also test their 285K at 6000 C30

[brisk jolt]

introducing 9850x3d at a higher price point basically doesnt change 9800x3d price

[low sorrel]

So it's a 9800XT3d

[merry stirrup]

yes

[turbid locust]

I said it’s a 9800X3DKS

[opal jasper]

i mean if they replace 9800x3d with 9850 at the same price point it makes sense

[merry stirrup]

they’re not doing that

[brisk jolt]

still with fuckass imcs

[turbid locust]

Yeah doubt they binned IMCs they’ve never done that

[opal jasper]

if they are gonna sell it at a higher price point i personally dont really see the point if the difference is not like 20-50 dollars

[turbid locust]

There’s 9950X3Ds that can’t do 6200

[merry stirrup]

be happy you’re smart

[merry stirrup]

dual ccds it is harder to clock tbf

[low sorrel]

Why would they even care

[turbid locust]

They wouldn’t

[gentle gale]

obviously that’s the universal sweet spot for ddr5

[brisk jolt]

I mean, I have mine at like 1.28vsoc 6200 C26 but like its just not impressive at all

[merry stirrup]

lmao

[gentle gale]

why test any higher

[turbid locust]

https://youtu.be/nsXnyelmbmc?si=iiy9Z8HhE7_4DSYs is this mf in the future

[ripe needle]

Hi

May I speak?

[turbid locust]

No

[brisk jolt]

dude prefired the CES slideshow

struck them like lightning

[turbid locust]

It says uploaded an hour ago and he starts with the “AMDs keynote just finished” and it just finished like 3 mins ago

[opal jasper]

either way, while the news doesnt excite me at least it is some news that comes with some amount of performance uplifts

[brisk jolt]

he hit that valorant deadzone and prefired that video no cap

[opal jasper]

and amd stock probably goes up

[edgy laurel]

only if you just speak. if you ask, then no

[brisk jolt]

never underestimate amd’s ability to shoot themselves in the foot

[ripe needle]

Brian Griffin

[opal jasper]

or some may say, clentch defeat at the jaws of victory

[turbid locust]

realistically who’s competing with them rn cause it ain’t fuckin Intel

[opal jasper]

the thing is intel is doing so bad that i really dont think there is a way to fuck up

[brisk jolt]

amd marketing department versus amd r&d department

[ripe needle]

Ai guys am I right

[brisk jolt]

i think amd already showed their zen 6 sample no? the cores are closer to the IO die

for servers

[turbid locust]

So I think the B850Mpower was unironically a Gene type launch

It’s still OOS and not even listed anywhere but MSI’s store and EBay lmao

[brisk jolt]

taobao

https://tenor.com/view/parry-it-parry-it-alicia-e33-gif-5018089436067363878

[turbid locust]

I mean I’m definitely glad I grabbed one

[topaz veldt]

except not as good lol

[turbid locust]

Hasn’t been out long enough to see any real results from it

There’s people benching 8400 on it though

Not much else you can ask for

[topaz veldt]

how much was it

[proud summit]

Damn, just received an open box MSI X870E Tomahawk for 252 CAD.
Been stress testing it for a few hours, no problems, everything seems brand new.
Might have scored a jackpot.

Maybe I should buy the 9850X3D just for the lolz.

[turbid locust]

$200

MSI store says $229 now but

It was arguably the best AM5 board for the money for tuners

I was benching 9600-10000MT/s dual channel on it with my 8500G over the weekend

This was before I touched timings and FCLK but yeah.

those voltages are a lie btw

[topaz veldt]

I am not as impressed with those types of figures just because of monolithic hailmary stuffs

[turbid locust]

Fair. I just need a good enough gear 2 zen 5 chip to do some proper stuff

[topaz veldt]

I know its to "prove the board" but like... I dunno, not convinced it means much with those APUs

yah

I might take my lil SFF outside and see what it does

[turbid locust]

I could probably get 8300 bench stable on my 9600x, maybe 8200 daily stable

I gotta learn how to tune resistantances

[low sorrel]

Mmmm cl 62

[turbid locust]

Max it registers

[topaz veldt]

I plugged 8200 CL38 in my B850-I and it ran Karhu for like 45 secs before error

so prob just need some voltages

[turbid locust]

that and probably resistances

[topaz veldt]

Dunno

[turbid locust]

Try raising VDDP

[topaz veldt]

it is

[turbid locust]

afaik it scales until it doesn’t post

[topaz veldt]

1.1v

[turbid locust]

try 1.15v

[topaz veldt]

I'll try it

I am dalying 8000 CL36 on it

[turbid locust]

according to BZ it scales until it doesn’t post and helps with gear 2 quite a bit

[topaz veldt]

its like 62ns latency in aida

[turbid locust]

you can also slightly lower VDD MISC

[topaz veldt]

its supposed to be my plex server lol

but i've been gaming like crazy on it because its so cute

[turbid locust]

iirc 0.9v made my 7700x accept 7800 a little bit better

[hoary hatch]

We haven't seen laptop boy in a while

[topaz veldt]

lol

[turbid locust]

I wanna do an ITX build one day but

[topaz veldt]

not gonna lie its kind of annoying

but its cool once done

[turbid locust]

Yeah. I think A3 size is the perfect size

[calm socket]

Keyboard-based PCs making a comeback? Called it.

[turbid locust]

Once I get this 9850X3D and play with it for awhile, it’s going in the HDV on a mild ram tune, and then into my A3.

Going back to A3 for daily

[fervent chasm]

wdym keyboard based, arent the majority of PCs used with keyboards?

[turbid locust]

like maybe even gear 1 cause gear 2 on the HDV…

Although I haven’t touched that board in eons, some bios updates might’ve made it better

[low sorrel]

im actually stupid

[calm socket]

No no no, the entirety of the computer's hardware is in the keyboard. Think like a Commodore 64.

[low sorrel]

"why do my headphones sound so weird today"

i didn't fucking have them plugged in all the way

[turbid locust]

checks out for you

[calm socket]

Check it:
https://www.theverge.com/news/851965/hp-crammed-an-entire-desktop-computer-into-this-keyboard

I'd predicted a little while ago—lord if I can find the conversation where I said it now—that keyboard-based PCs might eventually make a comeback. Raspberry Pi's been dabbling in the idea the past few years, but I'm talking full fat desktop-grade hardware here.

It just makes sense as a form-factor.

[topaz veldt]

Been there

[low sorrel]

i was like fucking around with windows settings and shit

[topaz veldt]

and the jack was like 2mm out

[low sorrel]

yep

[turbid locust]

I need to test fit and see if I’m gonna be able to get away with a 360mm AIO in the A3 with my 5090

[topaz veldt]

air baby

[turbid locust]

Air is loud

and blocks potential ram fan

I simultaneously do not want to buy another AIO so

[topaz veldt]

Nah my GPU is way louder than my CPU cooler

NH-D15 G2 life

[turbid locust]

It’s not like X3D pulls much gaming anyway

[topaz veldt]

yah

thats why i didn't bother with an AIO

[turbid locust]

I do have a PA120 Mini

I mounts sideways though

[calm socket]

Oh wait, I think the conversation was during the live chat of a WAN Show?

Damn, I'd definitely never be able to find it now, then...

[low sorrel]

oh pog time to update my drivers

[turbid locust]

Is Arctic’s fan hub ok?

can’t really matter much can it?

[low sorrel]

it's a fan hub

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[topaz veldt]

I have one I think

If you're not running T30s in performance mode any fan hub is fine

I blew the transistors in my Corsair Commander Pro with T30s

[turbid locust]

lol bro

I’d be running like four Silent Wings 3’s at like 30-40%

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel how do you see your last few matches in Arc

[low sorrel]

raider>codex>playerstats

[topaz veldt]

I ran T30s at full tilt and it let the smoke out

[turbid locust]

lol

[turbid locust]

Bro loves the blue gate

[topaz veldt]

loot is good there

[turbid locust]

goop

[topaz veldt]

whoops

[low sorrel]

another blue gate convert

[low sorrel]

idk how many i have

i've only been getting into pvp recently

[low sorrel]

snail you pvp too much

[topaz veldt]

naw

[turbid locust]

Does GeForce now have a free trial

[low sorrel]

you on arc rn?

[topaz veldt]

yes*

[low sorrel]

isn't there a free version?

[topaz veldt]

there is a free tier, but also if you buy ultimate and cancel it just pro-rates it

[turbid locust]

hmmmm

do you have to download an app or is it browser or whatever

[topaz veldt]

app

its basically VDI

[turbid locust]

hmmmm I’ll have to see if my work laptop will let me do it

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt wanna run some arc raiders?

[turbid locust]

just trying to pre plan how I’m gonna game on this work trip soon lol

[blazing ivy]

DLSS 4.5 is also out with this update and the Nvidia app update, then under Graphics -> global settings -> dlssoverride - model presets -> latest

[topaz veldt]

bro we always die together

[low sorrel]

no no no we made it out last time

[topaz veldt]

i will join up after i exfil here

[low sorrel]

i fucking hate msi afterburner why does it always push norton on me

[topaz veldt]

bro

[low sorrel]

What

[topaz veldt]

trying to exfil i had to kill like 4 -5 dudes one after the other lol

that was too stressful lol

[low sorrel]

Gimme a moment I gotta do something rq

[ripe needle]

Snail

Can you play arc raiders with me

I wanna play with the adults

[topaz veldt]

I am actually going to turn in ffor the night its late

[topaz veldt]

I am going to postpone brother, im beat

[ripe needle]

GG

[topaz veldt]

I need to do something about this

The one dude I knocked out had 12 batteries

[turbid locust]

https://x.com/nvidiageforce/status/2008414702393610514?s=46 announcing it via Twitter instead of CES is funny

X · Jan 6, 2026, 5:45 AM

[topaz veldt]

they knew they'd lose people

6X MFG - now I can finally play

[turbid locust]

Dynamic MFG seems interesting

[topaz veldt]

yah could be

like VRR of MFG

[low sorrel]

I find it funny

[turbid locust]

2nd Gen Transformer looks great from the video

[topaz veldt]

VRR + DMPG its like playing CS2 drunk with 20' long arms

[turbid locust]

lol

[low sorrel]

That the 6x frame gen was used to show 4k 240hz in the video

And that's a base frame rate of 40 fps

@topaz veldt invite me

[turbid locust]

Pathtraced too

It was 4K240 PT

[topaz veldt]

im going to bed bro

[low sorrel]

damn'

[topaz veldt]

sorry duder, 130am here

[turbid locust]

yeah I have to be up at 7:30 lmao

[topaz veldt]

this is me rn

[turbid locust]

Companies lie

[low sorrel]

ok so i've done some testing with this

4.5 looks alot better on my 3060

but the framerate drops like a brick

[turbid locust]

Jerry it’s not even out

[low sorrel]

it is

you gotta select the beta driver

[turbid locust]

yeah fuck all that

[turbid locust]

“The beta driver I installed doesn’t work right”

[blazing ivy]

games look crazy sharp and clear with model M

and you need the beta nvidia app which you can select in the nivia app options

its it then will push a update

[low sorrel]

i mean not a brick

but goes from 70 to 50

[turbid locust]

DLSS should never drop your framerate

sounds like it’s literally broken

[low sorrel]

no it compared to normal transformer

[turbid locust]

what cpu what game

[low sorrel]

5800x arc raiders

[turbid locust]

[blazing ivy]

its working with a larger dataset vs normal DLSS4 so its more compute

[turbid locust]

Jerry is on a 3060

Jerry what’s ur vram lookin like lmao

[low sorrel]

8gb

[turbid locust]

You’re maxing it?

[low sorrel]

not even close

[turbid locust]

hmm

[low sorrel]

still have like 5gb left

sounds like atleast the beta release might be ass on 30 series?

[turbid locust]

I think it’s kinda fucked up that they made 8GB cards capable of frame gen though lol

Framegen eats vram

I maxed out a 5070Ti with path tracing and MFG on Indiana Jones lol

[low sorrel]

i have to drop down one full quality setting to get the same frame rate

honestly... it does look better on ultra performance

[blazing ivy]

with the new DLSS 4.5 you can easly move from Quality to balanced, Balanced to performance and so on its def a upgrade

[low sorrel]

then transformer

[turbid locust]

At 1440p I wouldn’t go lower than Balanced personally

I don’t like going lower than Balanced even at 4K

[blazing ivy]

heck 720p upscaled to 4k looks much better now vs dlss4 and dlss4 was so much better then CNN dlss3 at the same thing

[turbid locust]

I never noticed anything really anyway

The moment I start actually playing the game the small artifacting and ghosting disappears

It’s only something I notice when I’m pixel peeping lmao

I will try it soon though. Maybe wait for official release depending on how long it takes.

[blazing ivy]

jan 13th is offical release but its released now for beta

[turbid locust]

meh I can wait lol

I’ve decided I’m finally going to do a proper 2077 playthrough and I think I wanna do it path traced lol

So maybe I wait for 4.5 and DMFG

[pure garnet]

9850x3d waiting room

i need that 3% so bad

[turbid locust]

real

sell your 9800X3D now

[pure garnet]

there’s no chance in hell i’m actually buying one

i already have a sample i’m happy with

i kinda want an apex but i know it’s turbo dumb so

[turbid locust]

I am and I’m probably going to keep it regardless of silicon

[pure garnet]

yeah but i already did the whole “buy chip for gear 1 retirement”

i just got genuinely lucky

[turbid locust]

That’s basically what I’m going to do with it once I get done playing with it

because of course we gotta bench and max it out first yk

[pure garnet]

unless this cpu was a 1.3v 6000 sample i wasn’t returning it

if it only did 6000 at a sane vsoc i would’ve kept it

[turbid locust]

I would like for it to do 6400 but atp I’ll take whatever I can get. I’m not having an ounce of hope anymore lol.

I think I’d rather have decent FCLK tho idk

So far my 9600x does 2200 and my 9800X3D booted 2233

My first 9800X3D maxed at like 2133 though unfortunately

But I don’t remember if I even tested for max FCLK

[pure garnet]

my first one was karhuing at 1.3v 6400 but i returned it bc the tomahawk was the actual issue

[turbid locust]

That cpu was like right on the edge of stability at 1.3vsoc 6400

Iirc that chip could do 6400 but only if my FCLK was at like 2033 lmao

[pure garnet]

my final guess is something broke with acpi on that board

because it’s stable outside of sleep on windows for the most part

[turbid locust]

If I can get a lazy >=8000 tune going with relatively low effort I’m down to daily that

otherwise we gear 1 cope

[pure garnet]

if they had any form of a decent atx 1dpc board for <$400 i’d daily gear 2

but the mpower is too small for my fishbowl

[turbid locust]

If I ever end up swapping back to an ATX board for daily I’ll probably pick up an O11 Mini V2

That case doesn’t look goofy with mATX

[pure garnet]

the y40 would mostly hide it but the side profile would suck

well, the front of the case

[turbid locust]

I lowkey dgaf about aesthetics

But as soon as I’m done benching the 9850X3D it’s going in the HDV for daily in my A3

[blazing ivy]

about DLSS 4.5

[turbid locust]

now that I think about it? The HDV was kind of a PITA for gear 2 so I might gear 1 cope anyway

[turbid locust]

interesting

I’ll have plenty of headroom so

well maybe not if I’m gonna path trace lol

[blazing ivy]

nice to see Jacob in the GeForce now presentation

he formally worked at EVGA

[turbid locust]

I wasn’t an Nvidia user when DLSS 3 and 4 released so I’m not sure if a slight performance hit is normal

[blazing ivy]

its prob worth tbh if you can lower the dlss from quality to balanced

[pure garnet]

gear 1 is meta

[turbid locust]

Just depends

if it can do 6400 but it needs like 1.25+ VSoC I may go for gear 2 anyway

HDV is only rated for 7200MTs lmao

[pure garnet]

i daily 1.25v but it’d probably do less

1.15v lived for a fair bit

[turbid locust]

I always minimize VSoC for gear 1

[pure garnet]

i just got lazy

[turbid locust]

Minimizing voltages is super fun for me

[pure garnet]

between my tomahawk dying, my 265k acting up in the master and later just being a quirk of the platform with the ocf (and the imc sucking too) i just bought a 4 dimm with a post code since that brings me joy

and on a whim i got a 9800x3d bc 7800x3d feels lame

got lucky and it did 6400 on my first try

daily since

[turbid locust]

I considered getting a new board for daily but… I already have 3 AM5 boards lmao

[pure garnet]

i have 3 on hand but one is broken

i sold the strix off for what i paid

[turbid locust]

ITX could potentially go hard as fuck in the A3 but

[pure garnet]

i don’t wanna do itx again

i had an nr200p and it made me hate computers for awhile

the mpower feels small enough but also big enough that it’s for adults

[turbid locust]

My thing is is I don’t want anything that’s not capable of good gear 2

so like mATX or ATX 4 dimmers are out of the question

kinda

If the B850 Force didn’t have such garbage IO I’d almost be willing to buy one

[pure garnet]

i genuinely like the mpower but idk if i’d be happy dailying it

if i didn’t have my y40 id want my x550-t2 back and it doesn’t work with that

[turbid locust]

I’d be ok with dailying it if it wasn’t my best AM5 board

I knew I should’ve bought 2 man lol

[pure garnet]

is it gone again

[turbid locust]

Idk if it ever restocked

[pure garnet]

it did once

[turbid locust]

Oh

The only other somewhat cool 1dpc mATX board is the B850 AYW OC and it’s not available in the US

well the force isn’t either but

[pure garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/we're-doing-a-sequel-muppets-most-wanted-kermit-kermit-the-frog-gif-9837048782945000305

superbuy seeing the 3rd motherboard hit the warehouse

[turbid locust]

real lmao

[pure garnet]

the z790 ayw is the coolest one u got imo

like the z790 mpower is fine but it’s ehhh

the ayw is a nice daily board

[turbid locust]

Damn the B850 AYW OC is like $170 USD on Xianyu

shipping + fees would probably put it around $220

The AYW boards get the basic bitch Asus bios with none of the special Asus sauce

[pure garnet]

the blue one

[turbid locust]

yeah

[light goblet]

Hey can anybody help me ?

[pure garnet]

i’ve never used the blue one, my grandma’s z170 pro gaming uses the strix one

[pure garnet]

cut the red wire

[turbid locust]

Imagine Asus red bios but every extra feature is stripped out of it

[light goblet]

I remember you can some sort of support here no what channel should I use

[turbid locust]

Like I can’t even see VIDs on the z790 AYW OC

[pure garnet]

wtf 💀

[turbid locust]

yeah

[pure garnet]

supposedly the mpower is missing stuff from amd cbs but i’m not paying $750 for a tachyon

just pay double the price of the mpower for a used gene and bench that

[turbid locust]

the strat

I messaged that guy earlier unironically to ask about it

If it’s ever been on LN2 I don’t want it

[pure garnet]

i don’t think the people on ocn actually like anything

they’re always complaining

[turbid locust]

OCN? No. Surely not. Those guys love everything.

setsuna

have you tried dlss 4.5 yet

this shit is black fucking magic

[brisk jolt]

no it came out while i was taking a nap

[low sorrel]

i am now a dlss ultra performace gamer

the new model tanks my fps but it looks so much better and i would rather play on ultra performance

[oak vector]

Can 40 series users use it

[low sorrel]

all rtx users can

[oak vector]

Oh interesting

[low sorrel]

only dyanmic mfg is limited

[low sorrel]

performance drop off is asnine on older cards

[oak vector]

Ahh I see

Do all games have it yet or is it just in a couple so far (I haven’t looked at anything ces related so far)

[low sorrel]

all games

[oak vector]

Yummy

[low sorrel]

you enable it in the nvidia app

[oak vector]

Ooo I seeee

[burnt socket]

they already have one crazy motherboard... what made them angry to do two 😭

the AMD keynote seems to have been the most interesting of the three big ones yesterday

NVIDIA only talked about AI and datacenters, intel is intel so no one cares, AMD announced yet another “best gaming cpu in the world”

[oak vector]

Lmfao

I didn’t even watch it but I gather that’s pretty accurate

[devout ridge]

not my fault intel is intelling

i watched the nvidia keynote from about 15 min in to finish, got bored of the intel one super fast

intel’s speaker just can’t compete with jensen

[oak vector]

Intel should gain some intelligence
(That was really bad I know)

[oak vector]

“Uh we make a cpu and a gpu yeah”

[devout ridge]

intel’s speaker just doesn’t have the stage presence that jensen does

[oak vector]

Im oblivious
But I don’t even know who usually speaks for intel lmao.

[devout ridge]

nor do i, and thats the funniest part

everyone knows jensen huang, no one knows who intel’s guy is

[oak vector]

lmfaooo my point be proven

[indigo tree]

Is it weird that my best charger is some random charger I got at GameStop on clearance for 20 dollars?

[devout ridge]

yes

[indigo tree]

Seems word to me considering i have like 3 laptop usb c chargers. But i guess those don't use the right protocol or something

[devout ridge]

need the right voltage and amperage rating

[indigo tree]

I assumed it was because my phone used Qualcomm QC and the laptop charger had its own handshake protocol or something

[livid flame]

I haven’t seen. Was there anything about Intel gpu?

That’s literally the only thing that could come out and excite people right now

[devout ridge]

no idea, i haven't seen much coverage of the intel keynote

supposedly the pantherlake laptop chips are supposed to have pretty good IGPUs

[livid flame]

AMD - CPUs are golden right now. Nvidia - lets be honest they’re hated by consumers for the current pricing and most people have their gpu if they want it. Intel - offer something in gpu division that’s consumer friendly and their CPUs are being blown out the water in the DIY market

For workstations Intel could get people excited but I think that’s far less people in here

Like my next work laptop is due this year, I’d much prefer Intel over AMD still for my CPU in that

[devout ridge]

meh, AMD is still stomping intel in the workstation field

threadripper is just unbeaten

[gentle gale]

amd is really only stomping intel with x3d

their base chips are about on par with intel

[devout ridge]

here's to hoping AMD doesn't let up with the competition

don't want to give intel any chance to make a comeback

[gentle gale]

i would

would be cool to see intel make a comeback

[gentle gale]

panther lake was pretty exciting for mobile but i guess that’s a niche

[topaz veldt]

Oh nice they already dropped the new Nvidia driver

[shell void]

yes tom

that was the worst AMD keynote that i’ve ever seen

i’ve watched them all since 2017

[turbid locust]

Yeah 4.5 looks good

Like a 20% performance hit on 30 series in some games LOL

[edgy laurel]

ya know looking at the Glacial, I don't even know where the PCIe slot is and i'm ok with it

[devout ridge]

the PCIe slot makes my brain want to think "AI"

[steel stream]

don't need one I guess lol

[edgy laurel]

what pcie slot

[devout ridge]

even though i know it's just a translucent cover

oh wait shit that's the M.2 heatpipe

[edgy laurel]

that thing says m.2 so like

i guess the GPU is built in

5090's onboard

[devout ridge]

maybe the GPU is under that massive VRM screen

[edgy laurel]

and what is that between the socket and the DIMM slots

either a big pogo pin array or white LEDs

[devout ridge]

looks like LEDs to me

though it might be some proprietary connector for their AIO there

maybe a cableless solution?

[edgy laurel]

good call

it is

Dark Hero Neo ^

[devout ridge]

Very nice, i quite like the idea of cableless coolers

[edgy laurel]

hey at least you get a pcie slot with that one

[devout ridge]

they retain full support for other coolers, so i'm all for it

[brisk jolt]

you needed to go to the rocm slide for them to not have “AI” in it

[devout ridge]

is that glacial board E-ATX?

[brisk jolt]

and its fucking ironic

[edgy laurel]

given the spacing to the right of the RAM, gotta be

[devout ridge]

DIMM.2 slot right?

[edgy laurel]

yes

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-unveils-rog-crosshair-x870e-glacial-dark-hero-neo-motherboards-drops-pcie-q-release-slim-for-gpus

[devout ridge]

i genuinely have no idea where the PCIe slot is on the glacial board

maybe that very bottom cover pops off to reveal it? but that seems really weird and bad for GPU support

[edgy laurel]

lol yeah at first it was a bit of a joke and I figured surely it would be obvious looking closer but nope

[devout ridge]

Yeah like unironically i don't see where it would be

like it obviously has to be under one of the covers, but there's no way you're meant to leave that big main cover off if you want to use a GPU?

[edgy laurel]

yeah and that bottom panel is one large piece. so you'd have to remove the whole thing just to use a PCIe card?

[devout ridge]

Maybe the lower slot is intended to be used with a riser to a vertical GPU mount?

[edgy laurel]

we're clearly missing something here lol

[devout ridge]

a slot at the very bottom under that smaller cover at the very bottom of the board

where is this thing supposed to go?

and what is that thing to begin with

the more pictures i see of it, the more confused i am

[edgy laurel]

so yeah, that whole panel has to come off to use a slot lmao

[fast geyser]

can i replace a broken MSI 144hz screen with any other 144hz screen with the same size and pin number?

[devout ridge]

lol wtf, you just can't have that whole beauty panel if you want to actually slot anything in?

[fast geyser]

msi part prices are significantly higher for some reason

[devout ridge]

Maybe it slides down, since it seems that very bottom piece is a right angle connector thing

[burnt socket]

yay 9850x3d is announced! a rebadged 9800x3d with 5.6 GHz. Happy cuz price will fall for the 9800x3d

[devout ridge]

HAH! 9800x3d is gonna live at it's price

[edgy laurel]

like a car with no doors because it looks "cleaner"

[steel stream]

LOL, great design guys

[burnt socket]

me with a b840 looking at this

[devout ridge]

here we were thinking they had some cool design for the pcie slot, but actually it's stupid as hell

[edgy laurel]

literally

[devout ridge]

"want that pretty white board? NO GPU FOR YOU"

[steel stream]

slot some shitty Am5 APU into it

[devout ridge]

is this a hint that strix HALO is coming to the desktop...?

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/seinfeld-soupnazi-nosoup-gif-5441633

[steel stream]

i think strix halo is impossible to bring to desktop

at least in AM5

[devout ridge]

yeah i'm very much joking

dimms are too far from the CPU to work well

that's why the frame desktop has to have soldered ram

let me dream though

i went from quite excited for that board, to entirely uninterested in record time

oustanding work ASUS

[edgy laurel]

what a dumb design

[devout ridge]

truly

[edgy laurel]

product page is up but no shots with the cover removed https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-x870e-glacial/gallery/

[shell void]

crosshair extreme but white?

[devout ridge]

it feels like a concept car, except they actually released the damn thing

[devout ridge]

product page wasn't up in the US for some reason

i get prompted to switch to the US site, and it just shows a page not found error

OH, that fan module is a ram cooler

[devout ridge]

and those pins are pogos for a cableless AIO, very cool

[edgy laurel]

anytime I go to an Asus result from google it prompts me to go to the US site or stay here. In 2026 we have the technology serve the correct regions result in google, why can't asus figure this out

[devout ridge]

i hate sites that don't autocorrect based on region

[edgy laurel]

thermaltake can't figure this out either

[devout ridge]

deliver me the site based on my auto detected region, then give me a selector in the top right to switch if i want to

[edgy laurel]

but no GPU for you if you want it to look pretty

[devout ridge]

oh bottom cover isn't for right angle connectors, it's just another beauty panel that pops off

seems you also can't use those bottom connectors with the beauty panel

[edgy laurel]

lol

this keeps getting better and better

[devout ridge]

so essentially you can't use either beauty panel if you want to actually use the board

this whole board is a fucking joke

[edgy laurel]

so they come off when you setup the board, go back in the box and then never get used again

nice

[devout ridge]

Pretty much

they might as well be packing material

it advertises that big panel as a heatsink for the lower M.2, but i don't see how that is the case if you can't install a GPU with it on

maybe that's why they didn't show any pics without the beauty panels, they don't want people to realize just how dumb it is

[shell void]

can’t wait to try dynamic multi frame generation on my Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM

[edgy laurel]

how long before you realize you still think 27" is too small

[devout ridge]

i'm trying to figure out what those connectors at the bottom of the ram fan are going to connect to

[topaz veldt]

pogos

[devout ridge]

i don't see anything on the board, or even on the dimm.2 thing

[edgy laurel]

i bet that glacial cover under the DIMM's pops off

[devout ridge]

read the whole conversation first, you'll love it

[edgy laurel]

and that fan goes in its place

[steel stream]

5 minutes after it's on his desk

[devout ridge]

this does look somewhat removable

[topaz veldt]

I bet once you remove the big cover you no longer have the chipset heatsink so that's it

[turbid locust]

bogos binted

[devout ridge]

nah, they specifically call it a ram cooler

[topaz veldt]

oh its got a 4pins for pwm and the big things are magnets

[edgy laurel]

is everyone just showing up on the same page that the giant cover needing to be removed just to use the top PCIe slot is hilariously stupid design?

[topaz veldt]

that is dimm.2

[topaz veldt]

yes

[devout ridge]

i meant the cover on the DIMM.2, not the dimm.2 itself

[topaz veldt]

Cover on DIMM.2 is always removable

[devout ridge]

Oh, i'm honestly very unfamiliar with DIMM.2

[shell void]

i can make do with a small one, it’s not uncharted territory for me

[topaz veldt]

its a double sided NVMe PCB

[edgy laurel]

he's blinded by the stats at the moment, i fear its taken hold

[shell void]

oh the thought that 27” is too small will never go away, but i wanna play with the latest panel tech

[steel stream]

we can let him be happy for a bit

[edgy laurel]

a day or two of "ohh, wow". Then "ok nice yeah its OLED alright". Then huh these is less immersive experience to actually use and game on.

[devout ridge]

twelve 10g USB in addition to 2 USB4 ports, and 2 10g ethernet ports, fucking bonkers

[devout ridge]

this board will look amazing on display in stores, but will be solidly mediocre in any other context

[steel stream]

just gotta be like one of those CS pro players that are practically kissing the displays

[edgy laurel]

The Godlike syndrome

[devout ridge]

only feature i'm quite interested in is the pogo pins for the AIO

i really like that idea

[edgy laurel]

(at least the Godlike doesn't cover your PCIe slots)

[shell void]

it’s MSI’s world

[topaz veldt]

Its a magnetic cover

it likely has a differnt covver that lets you expose the slot

You can see the magnets here

[edgy laurel]

if so, thats fine but lets be honest why is the top slot covered at all. who wouldn't be using it

[devout ridge]

would magnets be sufficient to compress the thermal pad on the M.2 though?

[topaz veldt]

it has a lower PCIe 5.0 you could put a vertical GPU in

[shell void]

i think it’s quesarito day

[topaz veldt]

Lets be honest that board is going into one of the fishtank tall boys with vertical GPUs

[edgy laurel]

huh, ok ok

[devout ridge]

I'd be really excited if it could do x16 gen5 to the bottom slot

imagine if it could switch between x16 being in the top slot, or in the bottom, instead of being limited to at best x8 x8 to the two slots

[topaz veldt]

2x 5.0 x16

[devout ridge]

Really cool

Is this the first board that can do that?

[topaz veldt]

Not sure

[shell void]

kingpin boards had that so OCers could run the gpu in a lower slot to have more room around the CPU LN2 pot

[devout ridge]

oh yeah they do label the second pcie slot as "PCIEx16(G5)_2"

[topaz veldt]

most people are running a vertical riser cable in the high slot and need like 150mm

now you could do a vertical mount with like a 70-80mm cable

[devout ridge]

i’d be curious to see if there’s a mount that doesn’t require a cable at all, and instead slots right in

[topaz veldt]

could be

but it'd be case dependent

[devout ridge]

and more or less exclusive to this one board

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[devout ridge]

would be a cool concept i’d like to see become more of a thing though

[topaz veldt]

its weird because its basically a high end workstation board in white

the IO is kind of nuts

but I suspect a LOT of lane sharing

it has I think 12 USB 10 Gbps

4 USB4

dual 10 Gbps NICs

7 NVMe

[devout ridge]

2x USB4

[edgy laurel]

3 years later since my X670E board with dual USB4 ports, still not sure what people are using these for

as they sit there sucking up PCIe lanes

4x precious CPU connected lanes at that

is this the first return of the Dark Hero name since the famous X570?

[topaz veldt]

yes it is

but I dunno whats "dark" about it

The X570 Dark Hero ditched the chipset fan

[brisk jolt]

lets play a game of who can guess what this GPU exact model is

exact SKU

[steel stream]

5090 TI

[shell void]

5090 master ice

[brisk jolt]

this might take longer than expected

its not a 5090
but indeed its a 50 series from gigglebutt

[shell void]

idk if it’s intel or amd but you’re using an asrock steel legend board

[brisk jolt]

not my build

a friend there swapped from a 7900XT to this after 2 months of my yapping

[edgy laurel]

the three mounting holes (the only thing you can see) match Gigabyte Masters

[brisk jolt]

the answer lies at the bottom left of the card

[shell void]

if it’s not a master then it’s an aero

[brisk jolt]

but yes it matches the aorus master tier for what it is

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/bongo-cat-button-red-button-gif-25263713

[edgy laurel]

this is a bad game

[brisk jolt]

i know

[edgy laurel]

you can't see anything

[brisk jolt]

my exact thoughts when I saw this

[brisk jolt]

wtv its a 5070ti aero

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt is this real

[brisk jolt]

surprisingly he got a beefy 70ti model at $700 pre-tax

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/rmiB2NnXgPU

I've heard he owns a display

[devout ridge]

the rumors say he owns a display

[edgy laurel]

By leveraging the power of the 2nd generation transformer, Performance Mode is now comparable to, and can even beat, native image quality, while Ultra Performance has evolved into a truly viable mode for 4K gaming.

These are some crazy claims, we shall see. Its impressive as is but beat?

If Nvidia is pushing Ultra Performance mode as viable in their official documentation, you know game developers have this in mind when designing games

and people are SO mad about that

[steel stream]

I can test this out

[oak vector]

I still remember the vid with the 48gb 4090 where it (some llm being tested) said he owned some display (at a store or whatever??) lmao

[devout ridge]

found a mistake in Intel's press release

[steel stream]

please don't break my GPU

[devout ridge]

386H states 20 pcie lanes, but says 8 G4 4 G5

[edgy laurel]

i don' tknow if I can do it so soon after my last debacle

[devout ridge]

should either be 12 PCIE lanes, or 8G4 12G5

[steel stream]

yeah I will be pissed if that happens to me, godspeed

[autumn hatch]

GPU explodes

[devout ridge]

intel proof read your charts before you post them smh

[mild sentinel]

i think this is someone from msi OC team tbh using lightning Z 5090

[shell void]

you’re going to be gaming at 480p before you finally replace your 4090

[edgy laurel]

@steel stream Custom them Model L for the 4K Ultra Performance optimized preset

[devout ridge]

at almost 1ghz higher than stock Lightning Z 5090 core clocks

[edgy laurel]

make sure you have beta updates turned on in the Nvapp

[steel stream]

booting up Cyberpunk with this rn

[mild sentinel]

yeee 🙏

[edgy laurel]

you know it. also this is great @shell void

[devout ridge]

were you able to see the DLSS FG artifacting with DLSS 4?

[edgy laurel]

exactly how it should have been from the start

[devout ridge]

if so, i'm curious if you see it with DLSS FG 4.5

[steel stream]

ok still looks like dlss ultra performance

[shell void]

backlight strobing + VRR is a reality now

[edgy laurel]

i wish there was an easier way to know for sure that its working

oh wait, doesn't the Nvidia overlay now have DLSS specific settings

[shell void]

finally

i hope it can do less than 2x FG

[craggy mist]

woah

[oak vector]

Finally nvidia does smth the community already has haha

[edgy laurel]

target framerate and dynamic mode for MFG is new

[brisk jolt]

im glad they added dynamic MFG, simplifies messing with MFG multipliers to hit the FPS I want

[oak vector]

There are similar things with lossless scaling iirc :v
(ie target frame rate, different frame gen modes)

But glad it’s where it should’ve been from the start

[edgy laurel]

ya, been saying it should have been that way from the start

[mild sentinel]

dayum ok more infos

[oak vector]

Idk what those buttons do but I guess I got a lot to read up on haha

[craggy mist]

click on them and see what happens

[edgy laurel]

don't need to know, just set to latest

[oak vector]

I missed all of nvidias CES presentation

[devout ridge]

they didn't even mention DLSS at all in it

[edgy laurel]

from what I understand, you didn't miss anything consumer/gaming related

it was all AI

[devout ridge]

i watched it, it was all datacenter AI talk

quite literally nothing about consumers or gaming

[mild sentinel]

its just AIs and robot 🤖

[devout ridge]

i wanna buy an NVIDIA droid

[oak vector]

Amazing

How boring.

[devout ridge]

only saving grace was Jensen's beautiful alligator leather jacket

[oak vector]

[devout ridge]

me and everyone else kept waiting for the 90 seconds of gaming at the end, it just never happened

though it's possible it got cut off because jensen started fumbling the script at the end

[topaz veldt]

no lol

[edgy laurel]

dammit

that would have been SICK

[devout ridge]

Jensen, i would do anything for a droid

[mild sentinel]

a homework date with him 🤣

[devout ridge]

anything for a droid

i want the droid

[merry stirrup]

new driver stuff hmmm hmm

[devout ridge]

DLSS 4.5 is supposed to be an entire generation's worth of improvement to quality

[wraith steeple]

[merry stirrup]

i care more about ghosting and how it does with foliage

as that has been my primary issue with any form of upscaling

[devout ridge]

from the demos as CES, DLSS 4.5 seems to be a lot better with ghosting than DLSS4

[merry stirrup]

i mean FSR3 cant even render a bush

[devout ridge]

though expect that to be cherry picked examples

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[devout ridge]

No third party testing outside of demos so far, so we don't really know how it will generally behave

[merry stirrup]

does that override thing work in tarkov?

[shell void]

i don’t notice ghosting with DLSS 4

[merry stirrup]

let me see

[devout ridge]

anything with DLSS support will have the override was my understanding

[devout ridge]

i noticed it some with fast moving objects, or objects with kind of chaotic movement

[shell void]

(when not using ray reconstruction)

extreme smear/ghosts with RR

[merry stirrup]

windy foliage is always a telltale sign for me it just looks off

[topaz veldt]

I installed the new driver though I dunno what version of DLSS is working/not working

[merry stirrup]

it doesnt look bad but it certianly is not what it is supposed to look like

[pure garnet]

are you changing preset floppa

[vagrant cargo]

Ok what news did i miss whilest i was in bed monitors and pc case wise

[devout ridge]

Reflections in CP2077 always seemed to be pretty telling to me

[wraith steeple]

How's TC2?

[merry stirrup]

wym

[pure garnet]

preset k/j are really good

[wraith steeple]

[devout ridge]

though CP2077 is a lot of my experience with DLSS4

[merry stirrup]

in tarkov i always go to preset k

[devout ridge]

most other games i play either aren't compatible, or already run at 165fps+

[hot stratus]

Roborock brought a self-balancing vacuum with legs to CES - Android Authority https://share.google/he1dSNmR5x1X9oP4I

[merry stirrup]

360hz im always fiending for fps

[pure garnet]

@shell void how are you enjoying your early access 9850x3d

[devout ridge]

i'd be curious to see if i could force DLSS4.5 on Blade and Sorcery though

I wouldn't use FG as i'm particularly sensitive to latency in VR, but the upscaling would be promising

[merry stirrup]

some people have luck with the smooth motioni n tarkov

[devout ridge]

i never notice the latency in desktop gaming, but in VR it makes me nauseous

[merry stirrup]

tarkov is just so bound by my cpu but idk what

it cannot be memory

[edgy laurel]

DLSS-SR
DLSS-FG
DLSS-RR

[merry stirrup]

it could be capacity but it isnt speed

[mild sentinel]

new DLSS be like 🙏

[devout ridge]

Blade and sorcery can either be really CPU bound, or really GPU bound, depends on the environment and settings

[merry stirrup]

60% gpu usage in tarkov with DLSS is quite annoying

but i have to use DLSS cause all other AA is bad

[edgy laurel]

so use DLAA

[merry stirrup]

doesnt exist

[oak vector]

😔

[merry stirrup]

just DLSS quality in tarkov

[oak vector]

Also Hii flopa

[merry stirrup]

herro

[devout ridge]

jensen was doing great for the first hour, but started fumbling in the last 15 minutes

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/diagnosis-issue-flop-flop-floppa-bingus-gif-22901732

[edgy laurel]

i'm sure it can be forced on somehow

but MP games are dicey

[oak vector]

Bummer 💔
Hope he alright now

[merry stirrup]

is this how i set the override properly

let me use nv cleaninstall so i can set the dlss indicator up

[devout ridge]

nothing seemed wrong with him, bro just was stuttering with the script

he had to restart his sentences quite a few times

[oak vector]

Been there done that
Not fun

[edgy laurel]

Yes. Also remember there are DLSS options in the NVapp overlay now

so show you want its doing

[merry stirrup]

okay give me a minute

[topaz veldt]

there is?

[merry stirrup]

going to use nvcleaninstall for dlss indicator

[edgy laurel]

you can cycle through the different modes with Alt-Shift-R

[topaz veldt]

well I'll be

[edgy laurel]

or just pick which one you want in the Alt-Z menu

or do a custom layout

[merry stirrup]

we lit

[topaz veldt]

what games support it yet

or does it not matter

[merry stirrup]

override feature apparently op

[devout ridge]

they made it sound like you can force it onto any DLSS game

but games would slowly add it to the ingame settings overtime

[edgy laurel]

whats unclear is if only Preset M and L have the new transformer model 2.0

[vagrant cargo]

The hkc/ ktc M10 Ultra seems interesting

[edgy laurel]

because M and L are optimized for Performance and Ultra Performance usage, which really kinda limits them to 4K users only

with Preset K being what were all using before as the "latest"

[wraith steeple]

Midnight shift restarts today. First of the year. The break was nice though

[edgy laurel]

oh i thought you were done done

[devout ridge]

rip, right in time for CES and new tech

i have a random six day break from work that ends on thursday

[merry stirrup]

ok indicator enabled

[devout ridge]

i didn't request time off, they just randomly gave me 6 days off in a row

work secretly wanted me to be able to binge CES content and try out DLSS 4.5 for hours on end

[brisk jolt]

n1

[edgy laurel]

@merry stirrup @topaz veldt

showing override status and preset in use

[topaz veldt]

I just don't know what any of that means

[devout ridge]

What game is that?

[edgy laurel]

uhh, i dunno. from an Nvidia press release back in August when these additions came out

[devout ridge]

i don't recognize it

[fringe vigil]

4090 traitor

[edgy laurel]

jorj still thinks I got a 5090

[wraith steeple]

[devout ridge]

what gpu do you have?

[edgy laurel]

a 4090

[merry stirrup]

its not using 4.5

[devout ridge]

funny way of saying 5090

[fringe vigil]

Oh

[edgy laurel]

eugh.. so that "version" is not the same version used for "DLSS 4, 4.5"

[merry stirrup]

so i cant override

[edgy laurel]

the latest from today is 310.5.0

its the actual dll versioning

yeah its not clear to me yet (i'm asking on reddit) if simply overriding is enough to ensure the Transformer model 2.0 is used

and if so, if its limited to certain presets only

[vagrant cargo]

https://youtu.be/P6sCvCRvPVc?si=y4P2VmDkSB42zaCU

[edgy laurel]

aka does the game require the updated DLL

[vagrant cargo]

These cases look neat

[merry stirrup]

yeah seems that even changing my override for specifically tarkov to latest doesnt work

still 4.0

[brisk jolt]

my statistics overlay shat itself :V

[opaque spindle]

can I change my gpu RGB? it's gigabyte and what about cpu cooler

[devout ridge]

openrgb

[vagrant cargo]

https://youtu.be/xIBQeTrhtS8?si=IApk5i9-XubCNceo

Ok I may be the only one but i really dont like the look of that almost side to aide glass case

[merry stirrup]

also theres a method to this thats easy that doesnt require anticheat fuckery

just dsr up a res and then turn on dlss quality

[vagrant cargo]

Also 1000w gpu what in the hell

[merry stirrup]

its got two connectors

new vbios to flash

[vagrant cargo]

Extra cables that will burn

[merry stirrup]

2 cables rated at 600w, theres more safety margin there at 1000w than with a stock 5090, its fine

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh main thing in the video ehat caught my attention was those 2 monitors he shown

[devout ridge]

same margin as running the 5090 single 12vhpwr at 500w

plus the stock power is 800w, it has an extreme performance profile that is 1000w

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh im also really over the whole glass side panel thing I rather just have a closed side panel with a massive led screen on it

[dusty lotus]

linus and a regular sized monitor

[livid flame]

What you need is an LCD side panel. If you contact Hyte, they’ll make it

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh if im using the im not looking inside my pc so I dont see the point in glass

[merry stirrup]

just make an lcd clear like linus did

use a white matte film to diffuse

[vagrant cargo]

I rather have hyte do something like the y70 but have the whole wrap around panel be lcd or led screens

[livid flame]

Looks like a 17 inch wide screen to me

[vagrant cargo]

Could be so cool

[merry stirrup]

[vagrant cargo]

Also the case with a hologram on it sounds interesting I would like to see stuff like thst take off more

[merry stirrup]

wouldnt theoretically be that hard to diy

cause they did that each model

aliexpress control board

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh I do like that cade but I dont like the fact its transparent I want like proper no peeking inside the case panel

[merry stirrup]

white piece of film

[vagrant cargo]

Or they could maybe pull off doing a side panel where its slight glass at front but the rest on side is a normal panel or a lcd screen

Im curious do uou guys think hyte will reveal a new case at ces?

[turbid locust]

this made me chuckle

[oak vector]

We all gotta start somewhere right 😭

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel what is that hot key bound to that it switches models? https://youtu.be/9rnjawJ_QDc?si=_p8aBYBs9Hi18TKO&t=221 Time stamped

[oak vector]

Run at 10 fps
Turns it into 60fps
Magic

[edgy laurel]

no idea, but if its a public facing one it'll probably be in the keybinds section of the overlay

[topaz veldt]

also do you know how to enable/force DLSS 4.5?

[vestal granite]

nah nobody does, it'd be helpful if there was idk like a video announcement of sort telling people how

[devout ridge]

591.74 is the drivers i want for dlss4.5 right?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[devout ridge]

would yall enable motion smoothing or nah

It does

you just still don't get MFG

[topaz veldt]

just update, its for the community

[devout ridge]

dlss4.5 is supposedly beautiful

really weird artifacting in CP2077 with DLSS4.5, restored default settings so i'm on DLSS4 again, i'll change settings one at a time to isolate the problem

Same area as reference for what it should look like without artifacting

[wraith steeple]

Crosshair Extreme with a White Finish

Dark Hero makes a comeback on AMD

[devout ridge]

apparently CP2077 really doesn't like motion smoothing, hard crashed

[turbid locust]

Ok maybe no 9850X3D on launch for me

[oak vector]

CyberBug2077

[turbid locust]

Just found out I’m gonna have to have a CT scan and my insurance is dog ass apparently

[oak vector]

Australian healthcare my beloved

[shell void]

pretty

[devout ridge]

i've slowly changed settings and gotten back to these exact settings, but there's no artifacting

[oak vector]

Hope it all goes well tho 🫶

[devout ridge]

so i have no idea what caused that behavior

[turbid locust]

Yeah except the difference is I’m getting it next week instead of a 3 month waitlist lmao

[oak vector]

True dat

[wraith steeple]

Is this new?

[topaz veldt]

must...not...buy

[turbid locust]

They could’ve tried a little harder

Half that wood accent is gonna be covered by a rear exhaust fan and gpu lmao

[proven saddle]

Wood...

[proven saddle]

I want the cube

[ripe flicker]

hi upgrading from a 1050p 60hz monitor to a 1440p monitor 180hz, will my 3060ti be enough?

[viral iron]

Ya

[ripe flicker]

how much is this..

[ripe flicker]

how much fps do you think ill be getting playing some triple aaa game

[viral iron]

80 fps

[ripe flicker]

thankss

also my cpu is ryzen 5 3600

is that okay?

[viral iron]

60fps

[ripe flicker]

what cpu should I upgrade to?

[viral iron]

https://youtu.be/n6liuSXTDHU?si=gGKCbXzqhjhtJkIj

[ripe flicker]

thank u

[viral iron]

@ripe flicker 1440p benchmarks

[viral iron]

Save ur money and build a new pc later

[ripe flicker]

thank youuuu

[viral iron]

Compound interest

[ripe flicker]

okay sure thank u

[hoary hatch]

Oooo

Panther lake 12 core igpu is confirmed N3E

This is our first N3E X86 paired GPU

[shell void]

best laptop cpu in the world rahhhhhhh

[ripe flicker]

so excited in getting my 1440p monitor

[craggy mist]

nice!

1440p is awesome

I think

[ripe flicker]

yeah I had to downgrade my monitor to a 1050p cuz my cat broke my 1080p moni

[craggy mist]

60hz to 180hz is gonna be a huge difference too!

how’d ur cat break ur monitor? 😭

[ripe flicker]

i know my 1080p monitor is 180hz

[craggy mist]

ooo

that must’ve been a tough downgrade then

[ripe flicker]

basically peed on it

[craggy mist]

oh

[ripe flicker]

yeah I was away that time and basically left my set up idk why he peed on it but he destroyed like 2 keyboards of mine already....

he hates it when the litter isnt clean lol was so devestated but I cant do anything cuz he is my cat lol

would frame generation be good considering I can reach a base of 60fps?

[craggy mist]

Idk

frame gen makes latency

wait do you make 60fps now? With the 1050p monitor

[ripe flicker]

I dont play competitive games I mostly monster hunter

[ripe flicker]

yeah

why? my rig is ryzen 5 3600 and 3060ti

[craggy mist]

not sure what that is? Story game? Either 60fps or latency is pretty fine

[craggy mist]

you’re gonna get less with 1440p

[ripe flicker]

kinda like story but is combat game against big ahh monsters/creatures

[ripe flicker]

I dont really mind cuz watching a movie in 1050p is so depressing to the point i would rather watch on my small phone

[dusty lotus]

if nvidia is bringing back the 3060 why not name it 5050ti

or hear me out, a 5010

[pure garnet]

because that would be bad for consumers

[hoary hatch]

Samsung 10nm+++++ must be hella cheap

[edgy laurel]

tc1 has gone full blown "why low fps, does anyone have a fix"

[odd sable]

just ask then devs to optimize it more

[edgy laurel]

i swear that mention of "a fix" sends me off the edge

[pure garnet]

buy a new computer, problem not fixed? software issue

[odd sable]

no, thats too reasonable of a name

[edgy laurel]

pebkac

[odd sable]

just get a 9800x3d, 5090, and 64GB of RAM

[craggy mist]

just get a AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and like 2TB of ddr5 ram

[topaz veldt]

265K 🙁

[gentle urchin]

Think of the environment

if we all switch to 32-bit OS, we can save so much RAM usage

[wraith steeple]

[grizzled lily]

guys 9950 + 9070xt, gaming is fine but when browsing the web, there is like a lag, only half or 75% of the page shows up and its very slow, monitor 1080p MSI 144HZ, any tips or tricks, I saw reddit on disabling MPO? Would that work?

[wispy ember]

Have you tried a different browser and different web page?

[grizzled lily]

yea brave and tor, but its minimal on those

[grizzled lily]

its not just lag its like the half of image is stuck on previous image from 5 sec ago

[proud summit]

Keep putting matte finishes on everything you glorious Samsung angels 😀

[topaz veldt]

Matte is for cavemen

[edgy laurel]

5nail has evolved

[topaz veldt]

I don't LOVE glossy, but praising matte is not a good place

[wraith steeple]

285K yoooo

285K on an air-cooler has been a nice experience NGL

[topaz veldt]

Its a good CPU

I should turn mine on 🙁

[wraith steeple]

It saw mid 80s max when doing Cinebench R23
