[pure garnet]

guess i got unlucky then

[steel stream]

I am totally getting sick W

[pure garnet]

that's my issue with glorious really

their qc improves steadily but only after the first 3 months of a product launch

my model o wireless had to get rma'd and my gmmk pro had issues

[frank zealot]

Why are almost all Hall-Effect keyboards 60%?

I hate anything under TKL with a passion. (I prefer Full, but that's getting stupid uncommon)

[edgy laurel]

I looked, Feb 2022 for this GMMK Pro

[steel stream]

https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Swappable-Adjustable-Actuation-Full-Size/dp/B0DXZ97PCG/ref=sr_1_8 I got you bro

just don't look at the price

[frank zealot]

this is my current keyboard, but it's pretty beaten up after 5+ years at the office:

(Mouse is long dead, and i've moved onto a MX Master for that)

[frank zealot]

honestly less terrible than a lot of others.

(Doesn't mean I like it, but it could be worse)

[frank zealot]

https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Magnetic-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B0CBHP4SWC/
lol

[steel stream]

yeah I'd pay like $20 for that lol

[frank zealot]

At half of that price it'd be a bargain. It is using hall effect programmable switches

BUT I sure AF ain't droppin 2 bills on that shizz

[steel stream]

it's just so ugly

[frank zealot]

it looks fine, imo.
But at 200 it should look good.

[vestal granite]

nice to see corsair doing what steelseries did nearly a decade ago

[steel stream]

even though I am a gamer, I am just not a fan of gamer looking things

[vestal granite]

https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro these have been magnetic/customizable actuation point/etc since like 2018

they have other form factors this ones newer

ok they have one other form factor https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro?connectivityType=wired&keyboardSize=fullSize&keyboardLanguage=english

i just think the customizable actuation point stuff is unnecessary cope and having magnetic switches because they "last longer" is less important than having a hotswappable board

[edgy laurel]

me thinking about my third set of switches since 2022 because some start going bad. not registering all the time, double clicking, etc..

[vestal granite]

now think about what youd do if any of those magnetic switches ever had a problem

[edgy laurel]

Glorious Panda's I started with, then Akko lavender purples

[edgy laurel]

one of the boards linked above mentioned it was compatible with normal mech switches

<@&750150305383186585> spam

[topaz veldt]

<@&750150305383186585>

[vestal granite]

sir you need to post higher value scams to entice any of us i think

my SSN is worth at least 15 grand

[frank zealot]

they also need to be way less blatently obvious

[pallid marsh]

https://www.btod.com/sc-ameap/ now to wait 2-3 weeks

My ass better like the $400 chair

[vestal granite]

oh thats cool so you could just get magnetic switches for a normal keyboard and its basically same thing

[edgy laurel]

the one 5nail got https://a.co/d/hv0Uy7m

Cross-Compatible with Magnetic and Mechanical Switches

[vestal granite]

infinitely better than corslop keybage

[frank zealot]

holy shit, 30 bucks after coupon? damn

if I didn't detest 60% boards I'd consider it

[topaz veldt]

that's the HE

TMR is more

[frank zealot]

sure, but a HE 60% board for 30 is a steal

[topaz veldt]

for sure

thats ABS case also

[frank zealot]

but I use the F-Row constantly, so fuck 60% boards

[pallid marsh]

I was confused why it had no labels on the caps at first

[topaz veldt]

me too but I am quick like a fox

[frank zealot]

I still want a Mech Board built into the Natural Elite Pro chassis

This was an epic tier keyboard.... 25-30 years ago

[pallid marsh]

Wtf that arrow key layout

[frank zealot]

that was the only drawback, mostly.

That section wasn't wide enough for 3 keys horizontally

(But arrow keys have gone the dodo with WASD)

[low sorrel]

wdym you can get 75% hes for like 70 bucks

[hoary hatch]

So, what you're saying is an HE 60% board is, in fact, not a steal

[fair aurora]

Hey guys.... Tried fixing my mouse scroll today.....

The scroll is working now. But the mouse is in Tokyo, drifting toward the top left

[hoary hatch]

96% (also called 1800) layout seems ideal to me

[fair aurora]

Wondering what could'v happened if i drowned it in contact cleaner

[hoary hatch]

Monsgeek m2 v5 I've been eyeing for quite a while now

[fair aurora]

Cleared the dpi Lens but nothing so dar

[hoary hatch]

DPI lens
Brother what

[fair aurora]

The little glass bellow

[hoary hatch]

Optical sensor* lens

[fair aurora]

Dude no wonder I'm asking you. You're gorgeous and intelligent

[pallid marsh]

Some browser flash games back 16+ years ago only worked with arrow keys ... That's the only thing that was useful for it if I really think about it

[fair aurora]

I'm just a mouse unfixer

[hoary hatch]

For optical sensors, we communally use DPI (dots per inch), but it's technically CPI (counts per inch)
Extremely pedantic and not meaningful outside of mouse development

[fair aurora]

So..... I'm thinking of taking the board out and see if it's dirty bellow

Cause the isopropyl leaves some stuff behind

[frank zealot]

for people who don't mind 60% it is

but that's just not me

[topaz veldt]

60% is so good

[hoary hatch]

75% is a much better trade off for space used vs keys added

[frank zealot]

I'd get used to it, but i'd really be annoyed by the effed up ctrl/alt keys to the right of the spacebar

[low sorrel]

i kinda wanna get a numpad for my 75% keyboard

also mostly because i want a knob

[low sorrel]

ew

[hoary hatch]

I didn't even realize it was missing a key

I think I'd survive

[frank zealot]

Also, since when is "Enter" --> Ascend?

[low sorrel]

tkitch you should look at chinese brands they have come a long long way

[frank zealot]

I currently have a Montech keyboard on my home PC

[low sorrel]

it's missing a key?

[frank zealot]

it has a Fn key, but no right-click/menu button

[low sorrel]

tf is a right click/menu button

Side note this part of my keyboard really pisses me off

i want a key above arrow key

[pallid marsh]

Clean your mouse pad

[low sorrel]

no

[pallid marsh]

I can physically see messy crap on it

[fair aurora]

How do I clean the small dot in the center?

That's the sensor apparently

[edgy laurel]

thats a very small hole. not sure what else you can do apart from maybe a few high pressure burst of air from an air duster can

assuming its even dirty, which it probably isn't

[fair aurora]

Dude gave a heart as if it was my butt

[fair aurora]

I drowned the mouse in contact cleaner

Guessing it left some stains behind

[edgy laurel]

well... there is that...

what, its not working after that?

[fair aurora]

Drifting hard

[edgy laurel]

hopefully you didn't fill up the plastic housing with liquid

was it drifting before this?

[fair aurora]

No

[edgy laurel]

welp

[fair aurora]

I dumped a lot Into the scroll

And I'm guessing it made it's way

Just cleared the sensor and still drifting

[edgy laurel]

rinsing away any grease to assist it

[pallid marsh]

So you delubed the scroll wheel

[fair aurora]

Should I drop a few drops inside and air the fuck out of it ?.

[edgy laurel]

It sounds like you tried to use a nuke to solve a problem that barely existed

[wise bear]

lmaooooo

[fair aurora]

I am feeling like my dad for the first time

Fucked up something perfectly fine

[edgy laurel]

the only thing I can think of is maybe there is still residual liquid inside the plastic housing for the sensor

which will eventually evaporate but.. yeah i dunno man

[fair aurora]

Let me nuke twice see if it solves

[edgy laurel]

there are people here that can put you on some replacement sensors if you can solder

[steel stream]

nuke it?

[edgy laurel]

he's referencing my comment above

[fair aurora]

Yeah air blasting the whole into a wide hole

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[steel stream]

ah got it

[edgy laurel]

https://klipy.com/gifs/no-country-5

the concept of using the least aggressive/invasive options first then work your way up are words to live by

[fair aurora]

Bruh ..... Air didn't work

Out of options

Taking the loss

[edgy laurel]

If you catch Floppa or Mac, they may be able to link some cheap but good sensors if your soldering is up to par

[brave panther]

are they smd or dip tht

[brave panther]

only 8 pins easy

[fair aurora]

My phone password is 4 pin and it's hard already

[edgy laurel]

could also just give it a few hours and try again

[fair aurora]

Yeah. The mouse is cheap and not so old. But.... Welp

[edgy laurel]

live and learn

[fair aurora]

I have the older one who miss clicks once in a while. Might be perfectly fine for non gaming

Should I put more isopropyl?

[edgy laurel]

well you can't kill it any further but.. i'm not going to suggest that

[fair aurora]

Just in the whole

And blast it a bit idk

[edgy laurel]

i mean sure, why not lol

[fair aurora]

Thanks for the help guys

I appreciate it

[edgy laurel]

good luck

[covert coyote]

Does anyone here still consider the RTX 3060 12gb a good card? I’m considering throwing together a build with that, 16gb ddr4 (for obvious reasons), and a decent am4 cpu such as a Ryzen 5 5600.

[pallid marsh]

Nvidia is bringing it back so it must be good

[cosmic gazelle]

no graphics card is bad for the right price. except the gt 710. that one is bad if you got it for free

[pallid marsh]

It's still good at 1080p

Just don't be a stupid idiot and play at 4k on your 3060 like @low sorrel

[south shuttle]

infinite performance/$

the 710 works as a display adapter most of the time

[low sorrel]

nuh uh

[pallid marsh]

30 fps gamer ^

With performance mode dlss

[turbid locust]

Jerry plays at 1440p I thought

[pallid marsh]

He has a 4k mini led monitor

[steel stream]

yeah he got it a few months ago

[pallid marsh]

Then failed to get a new GPU during cyber Monday or black Friday

[fringe vigil]

Anyone wanna come la?

[fervent chasm]

Sure if you pay

[shell void]

it's pretty based to be fair

i was talking to a guy with a Samsung G80SD (4K240 QD-OLED) and a GTX 1660Ti in the monitor discord a couple of weeks ago

gigachad behavior

[pallid marsh]

Wtf

6gb gpu

Think of all the not fully rendered textures 😢

[floral spear]

I gotta respect ViewSonic

They are not putting this price down

[pallid marsh]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/viewsonic/xg2431 still too expensive

[floral spear]

I know

They are not putting that shit down any time sooner 😭

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QCZWGX/aoc-q27g40xmn-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-q27g40xmn 1440p mini led is cheaper still xD

Silly ViewSonic

[floral spear]

I'm deeply saddened that 240hz 1080p is not the new 144hz

[granite dirge]

Anyone have recommendations of like fancy table legs that fit say like 69x55

[pallid marsh]

Buy a lathe and make your own :p

[granite dirge]

I mean while a Lego lathe may be a think I think that would be more costly.

I'm buying a third table top to replace the small one... And was thinking of fancy legs

[pallid marsh]

Ah I see you want to enable your expensive hobby

[granite dirge]

Not enable. I'm trying to make it look better lol I self enable this as I am getting scheduled 6 day straight periods at Ikea

Employee discount is pretty nice

[pallid marsh]

Discounts on meatballs?!

[granite dirge]

$3 shift meals.. and 15% discount on products on top of sales

[pallid marsh]

Other then diy painting or wraps I don't know of ways to buy fancy legs

[devout ridge]

big expansion to the home lab otw...

14.4tb of HDD storage included!

[pallid marsh]

600gb drives 😆

[devout ridge]

electricity is cheap, i see no problems

[hoary hatch]

I sense a lot of piracy in your future

[topaz veldt]

I have so many of these lol

[hoary hatch]

I mean uhhh Linux ISOs

[spark depot]

Can a ipad air 1st gen run the appstore, can i also install youtube using the appstore if it works

[hoary hatch]

No

[devout ridge]

OI, it's just linux ISO's

[hoary hatch]

Well I guess iOS 12 limited apps

[devout ridge]

nothing else

[hoary hatch]

I have no idea if YouTube has a build supporting iOS 12 still

But iPad air gen 1 is pretty old at this point

[devout ridge]

Kidding, i mostly need more space for file backups

[topaz veldt]

shit, i need to send my vm backups to backblaze

[devout ridge]

the 600gb drives are honestly just bonus, it's the same price or more for the JBOD without drives

[topaz veldt]

do you want 1.2s

[devout ridge]

Not in a position to pay for a bunch of 1.2s

[topaz veldt]

i wouldn't want anything for htem

[devout ridge]

Then yes

[topaz veldt]

i think i have like dozens of 1.2 sas 10ks

unless i drilled them and chucked them

i can check

[devout ridge]

Would be much appreciated

[topaz veldt]

sure, will check

[oak vector]

hmmmm not too bad
did a bit of work debloating, this is with edge + discord open.
before it was 4.7gb with nothing open

[fringe vigil]

It’s breezy

[topaz veldt]

my son is singing "Funky Worm"

apparently its from Rocket League?

[low sorrel]

yeah

no place else trust

[fringe vigil]

Snail how much is 9950x

[cosmic gazelle]

you can usually get w11 on ddr4/5 down to about 3.8 at idle if you disable analytics and tracking services after debating

for some reason every ddr3 system i’ve loaded w11 has been able to achieve lower usage

i don’t know if that’s just coincidence or if it’s something architectural

[fringe vigil]

Chips

How you do

[topaz veldt]

I dunno - the question is how much is 9950X3D

[fringe vigil]

U tell me

[edgy laurel]

jorj how many years you been here

have you used PCPP once in that time

[pallid marsh]

Hdr screen shots are so dumb on windows

[random flame]

So true...

[pallid marsh]

Needing to toggle it off to not take a aids screen img is so dumb

[edgy laurel]

haven't turned it off in 3 years

works great

[turbid locust]

download updated snipping tool and go into settings and check HDR color correction

[fringe vigil]

sorry

[brisk jolt]

jorj lowk feels like a manchild waiting to be spoonfed

[devout ridge]

[cosmic gazelle]

just benched 130kg x 5, i think i deserve mod now

[devout ridge]

i have server rack, i'm a far better choice as a mod

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a squat rack

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gif-5430850758035663288

[pallid marsh]

[oak vector]

Yeah im happy with where it is now ngl cos it was smth stupid like 8 or 9gb
But I wouldn’t mind taking it further as long as it doesn’t affect day to day usage haha

I did the whole chris Titus whatever

[edgy laurel]

only for snipping tool. gaming with the right tools its glorious

[oak vector]

I kinda wanna go all out with windows ltsc and full debloat
Like a properly setup windows system is so nice to me hahaha

[turbid locust]

not much to remove from LTSC. That’s kind of the whole point of it.

I usually have to add things to LTSC

[pure garnet]

i made my bench os with ltsc

just disabled everything but the services required for benchmate and subs to function

[turbid locust]

right but for daily OS there’s not really anything to remove

[pure garnet]

yeah

it’s empty already

[turbid locust]

I usually install LTSC, install Microsoft Store, and Xbox App lol

[pure garnet]

i do photos app + terminal

i keep xbox app removed bc i dont need it

[turbid locust]

I haven’t touched gamepass in 3 months but I’m grandfathered into the $20/m price and not the most recent increased plan 😅

[shell void]

enjoying my retro operating system while i still can

[turbid locust]

yeah idk why you do this. Also your task bar pisses me off.

[shell void]

wats wrong with my taskbar

[turbid locust]

what’s all the shit in the right and why is it not in its little own pop up menu

also notification button? what is wrong with you?

[edgy laurel]

system tray expanded to not hide things

[shell void]

i dont see the point in hiding them in that little pop up window

it just makes you click an extra time for nothing

[pure garnet]

get with the times uncle

[edgy laurel]

its called the system tray lol

[shell void]

theyre still counted as system tray apps with how i have them now

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/newman-truck-postal-humanity-seinfeld-gif-18400232594019273680

[shell void]

that arrow popup hidey place is purely aesthetic

[turbid locust]

yes exactly

[shell void]

yeah i think they look better not hidden

[turbid locust]

I think you’re psychotic

[shell void]

i like having my taskbar and system tray visible at all times

i dont use hide taskbar

[turbid locust]

I don’t either

I have mine set up very similar to kyoko’s

[shell void]

i wish i could

[edgy laurel]

left side start menu is so weird to me now

[pure garnet]

including the anime horse girl

[turbid locust]

I almost never actually look at where it is so

[pure garnet]

it makes you bench higher

[turbid locust]

windows key and type

[shell void]

i would rather be using windows 11 because it's prettier and performs better in cpu limited gaming

[edgy laurel]

i mean yeah, i never click it.

[turbid locust]

yeah something like that

[shell void]

but MPO is broken starting with 24H2, and if youre affected then the only fix is disabling MPO which breaks low latency borderless gaming

[pure garnet]

mine stopped being broken somehow

[shell void]

W

[pure garnet]

just luck of the draw i guess

[turbid locust]

schizophrenia

[edgy laurel]

muscle memory is hard though, trying to get used to Alt-Space to use Command Palette (formerly PowerToys Run)

[shell void]

naw ive sent videos in here of it causing issues on my 6900xt, 5070ti, and 5090

for whatever reason all of my systems are affected by the MPO issues

[turbid locust]

I don’t even know wtf that shit is let alone if I have issues with it or not

[shell void]

stuttering, artifacting, etc in apps with hwaccel

[turbid locust]

skill issue ig my shits buttery

[pure garnet]

im still running pbo off again

don't really miss it

[shell void]

yeah it's strange how it affects some people but not others

[pure garnet]

wait wtf does this mean

[shell void]

even while running the same gpu and windows version

[pure garnet]

i knew it was the same chip but now it just reports as the same chip?

[shell void]

it's very well documented tho it's not schizophrenia unfortunately

[turbid locust]

iirc it’s the same chipset die but B850s have shit fused off

[shell void]

i dont think they bother doing that

X870 boards just have more features that AMD requires the board vendor to implement

like rear usb40

[pure garnet]

im like 90% sure this is the same pcb as the x870 tomahawk

just with less usb ports soldered on and different coverings

[shell void]

shi id rather have the waifu bios skin

[pure garnet]

same layout including nvme palcement, same postcode location and everything

[turbid locust]

literally gay tomahawk

[shell void]

boosts performance trust

[turbid locust]

bisexual tomahawk ngl

[pure garnet]

i wanna try disabling apci on the tomahawk

and seeing if that fixes it

but that'll be an experiment for another time

[shell void]

mpo?

nah

ive tried fully stock and every manner of tune or tweak and nothing fixes it

[pure garnet]

nah my board being like

broken half the time working half the time

[brisk jolt]

it sucks they didnt go all in on the colour scheme

the leftover black really stands out as “we’re lazy”

[shell void]

it’s supposed to be a low cost board tbf

[brisk jolt]

type shi

[shell void]

that’s heat

[brisk jolt]

it might be time to replace my 14p’s battery

its starting to happen

lag

[shell void]

what’s ur battery health %?

[brisk jolt]

75

I’d like a 17 pro for the VC to deal with heat better but theres really no other justification to

[shell void]

holy shmoly

yeah definitely get that swapped if you’re gonna keep it for another year or two

[brisk jolt]

im gonna keep it basically till it permanently dies, just not as a main till then

[turbid locust]

the 9500F is a thing?

[brisk jolt]

apparently so, but these 9500f and 9700f might just be prototypes or smth

9500f n 9700f is listed on amd’s site but its not for retail

[turbid locust]

hmm

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust I have achieved peak Arc karma

I am loading into Stella into no-shoot lobbies and people are handing out blueprints lol

[turbid locust]

oh

lol nice

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel @steel stream @turbid locust

Anyone need Looting Mk3 survivor?

[low sorrel]

nein

[topaz veldt]

Man if I wasn't so obsessed about having the fastest shit possible I would sell all my PCs and rock this 9800X3D (9850X3D) SFF

[brisk jolt]

god im really feeling the lag on my phone now

[edgy laurel]

isn't the slowdown due to battery health an optional setting now?

[topaz veldt]

lol guilty was just going to ping you - I dig these felt desk mat prices... but they don't hold up worth shit

[edgy laurel]

there was a lawsuit or something over it, unless i'm getting that totally wrong

[edgy laurel]

i need to get a new one for my desk at work. its held up ok but it gets a bunch of hairs in it i cant easily get out lol

[topaz veldt]

mine gets matted up

no pun intended

@edgy laurel you hvae northern lights pad yeah? how has it held up

[edgy laurel]

Great. I did a deep clean on it a few months back (seemed like we all were doing it that weekend) and it came out brand new again

I might consider going back to plain black next time though

do you remember Xtrac Pads? I used to buy their Ripper XXL consistently like once a year. Shoulda started just cleaning them earlier, they come out real nice

[topaz veldt]

Nah i didn't use anything but that rocket fish for years

[topaz veldt]

the stealth one specifically from LTT or?

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[low sorrel]

I want the other LTX deskmats

those were super cool

is it just more or the current designs felt kinda boring

[topaz veldt]

hmmm

[low sorrel]

apparently glass deskpads are all the rage these days or something

[edgy laurel]

can't do it. too cold

[hexed karma]

good if you have a hoodie but i sweat too much for them

recently got something marketed as a "hybrid" pad and it's been revolutionary for me ngl

[edgy laurel]

the old Ripper XXL's. went through like 4-5 of them

[hexed karma]

i wish everyone knew how nice it is to have a deskpad

[edgy laurel]

yeah when I realized that was a thing it was fantastic

[hexed karma]

my old desk was a dining room table and i ordered a 1200mmx600mm northern lights pad for it

unironically lttstore harbored the largest quality mousepad i could buy

[edgy laurel]

and the price wasn't bad

[hexed karma]

no fr

[edgy laurel]

(i have a northern lights now)

[low sorrel]

I just bought one because it was 9.99 on lttstore.com

and then i got the ltx one which was nice

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrelStella layout is so confusing

[low sorrel]

it really is

[hoary hatch]

Well shit, I did take a chunk out of it

[graceful fox]

From what it looks like its just cosmetic but i would personally replace it if you still have any warranty or you you could wrap it in one of those mesh like cable channels to hide it.

[hoary hatch]

Warranty it for user caused damage 💀

It's way out of warranty anyway

I have other coolers so this is going in a bin until I either need it or eventually ewaste it

[graceful fox]

Well that makes sense then

[hoary hatch]

I feel like I should put something on it for piece of mind if I'm going to use it

I have no idea the thickness of the tube walls

[brisk jolt]

I also have mine damaged like this but not that bad

idk if i wanna replace it

[graceful fox]

White Duct tape or flex tape

[hoary hatch]

I was thinking just electrical tape tbh

[graceful fox]

Should also work well

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet Gene might actually arrive Friday but I have a feeling it will be delayed by weather

[pure garnet]

oh yeah it is supposed to get bad

[turbid locust]

yeah I may have to get a rental through the company and spend my weekend taking employees to work...

[graceful fox]

Also if you wanna hide the tape you could use one of these cable channels as i said before

[hoary hatch]

it is for a system I do not care about so a bit of black on the tube isn't really a worry

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet @merry stirrup did u guys see BZ’s most recent community post? He’s actually having luck with z890…

[pure garnet]

could not be me

[turbid locust]

yeah he posted almost 19hr Karhu at 9K

bud, you're in no place to criticize. that desk is about 3x too small and it looks ridiculous

[coral tartan]

its as long as the moniter

thats enough

i dont have low dpi

so the space is fine

[devout ridge]

who’s to say they do?

[coral tartan]

i also use a controller for most games

[turbid locust]

it literally isn’t

[coral tartan]

it is

theyre the same length

[turbid locust]

are we looking at the same picture

[devout ridge]

use your eyeballs for two seconds and tell me how it's the same

[coral tartan]

im at it right now its the same

[edgy laurel]

no, like. the desk is objectively too small to be used as a desk and be a comfortable distance. you sitting back with a controller doesn't change this

[turbid locust]

you’re telling me 0% of that monitor is hanging past the end of the table

[coral tartan]

my pic is just cut off

[coral tartan]

like an inch is

[devout ridge]

there is literally nothing outside the image that can make it look more usable than the image conveys

[edgy laurel]

its up against the wall on the left and hanging off on the right. Can't be pushed back far enough because the desk is also far too shallow

[coral tartan]

well the image is too close

[turbid locust]

I stand by my original statement

[coral tartan]

a longer desk would block my cloest

[turbid locust]

UW is a fkin meme

[coral tartan]

true it lowkey sucks

[edgy laurel]

that is a hard disagree after owning and using one for 6 years

[coral tartan]

4k is way better

[edgy laurel]

can't wait to go back, gaming experience is unmatched

[turbid locust]

[brisk jolt]

I still need a longer desk lmfao

[topaz veldt]

I do NOT need a longer desk

[indigo walrus]

That's my dream setup... if only 37" TV's were still common. (I want a 37" in the middle, with dual 24" or 27" vertical side displays.)

[coral tartan]

theres actually a bit of space on the left

[edgy laurel]

going back to 16:9 felt like i was wearing those horse blinders. zero peripheral vision

[coral tartan]

having mutiple things opend at once 😔

[brisk jolt]

My mousepad is ironically half the length of the table

[turbid locust]

42” is a very solid size, just requires a deep desk. My setup is with the two vertical 27”. It’s not pushed all the way back on my 40” deep desk either. It’s very comfortable.

And like i play tac FPS on it no issue

I still click heads in valorant lol

[devout ridge]

my desk isn't deep enough for a 42", though i wish it was

[turbid locust]

My desk is like 78”x40”

[brisk jolt]

mf got the 2560 resolution on the vertical monitor

[devout ridge]

god damn

[coral tartan]

well mine was big enough for a 49inch

[turbid locust]

My setup is built around my C4

[devout ridge]

it was not

you simply crammed it in there anyways

[edgy laurel]

it isn't, as evidence by the picture you supplied lol

it fits on it, but thats about it lol

[turbid locust]

For scale, this is the biggest deskpad LTT makes

[coral tartan]

its like as big as the desk if it was laying flat

[turbid locust]

If you can’t see everything without turning ur fkin head it’s too big for the desk

-the guy that daily drives the fucking tv

[coral tartan]

But would that just be every ultrawide monitor

[devout ridge]

no, no it wouldn't

at least not with a properly sized desk

also you have a super ultrawide monitor (please someone come up with a better name), not an ultrawide monitor

Ultrawide would be 21:9, not 32:9

[coral tartan]

It sounds stupid

And they overlap

If you can see it you know

[devout ridge]

what

[brisk jolt]

i have the option in the future with a bigger desk to do 27”+32”+vertical 24”, not sure how many inches the vertical is in that orientation though

[coral tartan]

Ts setup tuff

[devout ridge]

how hard is it to write "this"

"ts" will always mean "this shit"

[edgy laurel]

Is that a 49”?

[devout ridge]

as they previously stated, yes

[coral tartan]

I didnt even say ts

[devout ridge]

AHEM

[edgy laurel]

I had to double take because it looks so big

[brisk jolt]

a curved monitor that big for that smallass desk is so troll

[indigo walrus]

High quality Logitech K120 keyboard right there. 😄

[edgy laurel]

49" 32:9 on properly sized desks

[devout ridge]

first one so pretty it looks like a render

[brisk jolt]

Thats clean

[hoary hatch]

Damn I need a real desk

[brisk jolt]

Same

[coral tartan]

I dont see an issue

[coral tartan]

So my desk needs to be 4ft deep

[indigo walrus]

I mean, me either. While it's nice to have your preferred keyboard, a working K120 is better than no keyboard.

[coral tartan]

Its a used keyboard btw

[hoary hatch]

Also dual wielding mouse + magic track pad is the only correct way to use macOS at a desk setup

[devout ridge]

better have been free

[brisk jolt]

Im still wondering where the keyboard I ordered is

[edgy laurel]

you don't need to do anything if you're happy with the experience. we're only commenting on the clear fact that the desk isn't really well sized to support a display that wide and deep. No worries either way.

[coral tartan]

Well it came with the pc so thats free

The monitor also came with the pc

[devout ridge]

bundle =! free items

[coral tartan]

Basically is when its a worthless item🤷

[coral tartan]

Idc about a desk all I need is a gpu

[brisk jolt]

gt210

[brisk jolt]

holy clean

[devout ridge]

damn that's pretty

[turbid locust]

ai generated

[devout ridge]

except for the picture of his kid

[gentle urchin]

ai generated kid

[coral tartan]

yeah cause why would there me two mice and keyboard

[gentle urchin]

ambidexterity

[coral tartan]

you can just move them

[worthy stirrup]

hey

[turbid locust]

I’m like hey what’s up hello

[gentle urchin]

What's going on

[topaz veldt]

because its two PCs

[gentle urchin]

"Hey Google, Switch Keyboard output devices to PC 2"

[oak vector]

Honestly didn’t know what to expect your setup to be
But yeah this makes sense
Clean
Practical
Nice equipment

Looks epic

[topaz veldt]

Thats an old image

[pure garnet]

i got 2 hwbot trophies by putting a fan under my laptop

[topaz veldt]

more recenter one

[turbid locust]

we ball

[pure garnet]

ngl i didn't know you had all the pcs in the same room

that's really baller actually

[topaz veldt]

I have 3 in one room

[turbid locust]

all this and still can’t figure out discord voice calls

[pure garnet]

well if you notice none of them has a mic

[turbid locust]

dude did not know you could screen share in discord

[oak vector]

First pic has a blue yeti

[brisk jolt]

Thats one BIG room though

[frank cypress]

hmm, is a 13c delta on gpu hotspot really bad?

[topaz veldt]

sorry

[oak vector]

Yeah that’s stunning

[gentle urchin]

All PCs got AMD gpus, surely

[turbid locust]

“THE FUCK WAS THAT”

[oak vector]

13c..?

[pure garnet]

i thought >20 was the worry about it threshold

[frank cypress]

oh

[turbid locust]

depends on the card basically

[gentle urchin]

Wicked!

[frank cypress]

2080ti, running at around 260w

[turbid locust]

old. Would probably just PTM all of em and sleep.

[gentle urchin]

Instead of the normal method,
by screen sharing on Facebook Messenger?

[frank cypress]

that's the thing, that's a 13c delta with PTM

[brisk jolt]

alternatively skip the ptm and just go sleep

[frank cypress]

idk if i fucked up the installation or something

[turbid locust]

PTM has solved every gpu hotspot issue I’ve ever had ever

[turbid locust]

yikes

[frank cypress]

actually it might be the screws over the core

[turbid locust]

I mean the entire die is covered right lol

[frank cypress]

cause the ones i got don't have the springs on it

[frank cypress]

yeah

[turbid locust]

oh yeah this will fuck a mount fun fact lol

[frank cypress]

i mean.... 13c isn't that bad.... right

i'm selling it tomorrow sooooooo

[pure garnet]

not enough to matter if you’re not throttling

[turbid locust]

how high is the hotspot

[frank cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/muhehehe-gif-11037525145585928229

[frank cypress]

like, 84c during time spy

[turbid locust]

just do what Nvidia did and disable hotspot monitoring

[pure garnet]

ennui the used car salesman

[frank cypress]

up to 90-95c at the highest

but like, that's before i tightened the screws more

[pure garnet]

i mean it is a 2080ti so

[frank cypress]

hey if you're buying a 2080ti you already know it's a piece of shit

[pure garnet]

just let it be the next guys problem

[turbid locust]

get ur money up not ur funny up

[frank cypress]

trueeee

ok it is what it is, i don't think the card was even throttling

[pure garnet]

i forgot to pay my graduation fee and almost got kicked from my classes over $60

[turbid locust]

swag

[frank cypress]

nah that's crazy

[oak vector]

According to TPU
2080ti = 4060ti 8gb
Interesting

[topaz veldt]

I was told I wouldn't graduate unless I paid like $800 in parking tickets

[brisk jolt]

my school fee was $18

[oak vector]

My tuition at high school is 7,500 aud a year

[topaz veldt]

my high school is now like $27k

[oak vector]

Tho hopefully uni will be cheaper (military hehehe :P)

[frank cypress]

prolly

[oak vector]

[topaz veldt]

its that extra $250

[oak vector]

That’s a lotta monies

[frank cypress]

alrighty time to sleep gn

[topaz veldt]

thank god

[oak vector]

It’s only 5pm!!! /j

[topaz veldt]

I was going to lose this shit lol

fuckin hullcracker iv

[turbid locust]

5nail what’s the highest power limit I can flash to the TUF

[topaz veldt]

ermmm

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/christopher-lloyd-1point21gigawatts-back-to-the-future-doc-gif-9470027

[topaz veldt]

I think gigabyte waterforce

[pure garnet]

is the tuf dual bios

[turbid locust]

ya

[pure garnet]

they should let me run 600w through my 5070ti to beat a 4090

[turbid locust]

that card is voltage limited so good luck with that

[pure garnet]

so is every card

[turbid locust]

5090s aren’t till like 750W lmao

[brisk jolt]

can ur tuf flash matrix? i assume no

[turbid locust]

naw

[brisk jolt]

ouch

[oak vector]

bios flash 4060ti time?

[turbid locust]

From my limited testing it only let me flash vbios’ from cards with 3 DP and 2 HDMI

Well actually I can’t remember tbh

I think it let me flash the master bios but it didn’t behave right

[brisk jolt]

Maybe I should flash my master’s performance bios with the matrix

[turbid locust]

I asked 5nail cause he’s the only other person I know with a TUF lmao

[brisk jolt]

ngl apart from cyberpunk and wuchang I havent found a game that could push the 5090 past high 400w consistently

[turbid locust]

same considering I also run a global framerate cap of 138

but I was asking in context of benching

[pure garnet]

my 9800x3d is the bottleneck in what i play

[topaz veldt]

stahp

[turbid locust]

Need a 9850X3D

[pure garnet]

nah i need more bandwidth

[cosmic gazelle]

what do you play lol

[turbid locust]

Intel tiiiiiimmeeeee

[pure garnet]

ffxiv

[cosmic gazelle]

what at like 400 fps

[turbid locust]

jk just stop gear 1 coping

[pure garnet]

i fully expect nova lake big cache to beat zen 6x3d in it if the memory the output is better

[turbid locust]

nuh uh

[pure garnet]

my lows are in the 40s in towns

[cosmic gazelle]

silly kyoko the obvious move here is to build a 9995wx system with side panels made out of radiators

[cosmic gazelle]

is it just the worst optimized game oat or what

[pure garnet]

i need a 9800x3d with the memory bandwidth of raptor lake

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s insane

[pure garnet]

no it’s just how large scale games are

[topaz veldt]

I'd say poorly optimized

[pure garnet]

you can’t render ~100 player characters cheaply

[analog scroll]

I need a 750ti with rt cores and 8gb vram

[topaz veldt]

have you tried a 285K with like 8600

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i would get ~30fps in new world on a 5800x with 100 players on screen

[pure garnet]

my 265k at 8000 was slower than my 7800x3d at 6000

[cosmic gazelle]

hey 9995wx can do 8 lanes of 8000

just sayin

[topaz veldt]

no very unlikely

[pure garnet]

won’t have the 1t perf anyway

[cosmic gazelle]

thing consumes 1000 watts i’m sure there’s a way

[pure garnet]

the game scales pretty linearly with clock but the cache also makes a huge difference

[devout ridge]

wattage=! ram speed

[topaz veldt]

not very impressive imho

[turbid locust]

ah yes wattage is a direct indicator of IMC capability

[pure garnet]

outside of towns and hubs it’s fine and it’s obviously playable now but

i’d prefer more obviously

[cosmic gazelle]

you guys are so attacking bro i was making the point that an 1000 watt chip is remarkable and probably has a lot of tuning potential for other areas 😭

[pure garnet]

i thought about buying an apex with my tax refund but i think id rather get a new phone

[turbid locust]

My tax refund is either going to be $4000 or $4 so idk either

[cosmic gazelle]

do you get the same fps on ultra as you get on low in this game

or does it scale

[pure garnet]

idk i’m not playing a 2013 mmo at all low to find out

i run a 4k 120fps cap and with dlss balanced it uses about 50% gpu

[turbid locust]

I banish you to 2013 hardware

[brisk jolt]

haswell is all you need

[cosmic gazelle]

only reason i ask is because in new world i would run all minimum and my average would be about the same but i could tell my 1%s improved pretty dramatically

[pure garnet]

it’s only in towns when at player cap that the lows are lower

[turbid locust]

my friend is so pissed about new world lol

[cosmic gazelle]

i will champion a 5ghz 4790k for the rest of my life

[brisk jolt]

i might not go for the velka 3 and use a 265K as a APU but 1060 performance isnt attractive at all

I might have to crawl back to single fan cards

[pure garnet]

i just don’t see 8600 on the apex bringing me much joy when i still can’t ram fan in this case

[cosmic gazelle]

game was dead anyways but i’m a bit sad about what it could have been with a dev team that gave a shit

[pure garnet]

17 pro at least gets me some creature comforts

[turbid locust]

probably wouldn’t even need a ram fan tbh

[pure garnet]

for funny cl i would

[turbid locust]

no need for funny cl for daily

[brisk jolt]

Id like a 17P but the diff from 14P isnt worth it to me

[pure garnet]

i’m on an 8000c38 1.35v kit

so that’d be like what

[brisk jolt]

I’d probably just get battery replacement and eye a 19PM

[cosmic gazelle]

i haven’t made it far enough in rimworld to check how much better the 9800 handles big colonies, i should get on that

[pure garnet]

8600c42? if i’m lucky

[turbid locust]

which is fine

[turbid locust]

I went from a 12PM to a 16PM and enjoyed the jump. Think I’m gonna be an every 4 years guy.

[pure garnet]

i went 12pm -> 15pm but i want the smaller one

so i’m gonna trade this in end of next month

and then get that

[cosmic gazelle]

im on a 15 pro and i think im gonna do a battery replacement this year unless they do an under screen camera

that’s the only thing that gets me to buy the 18 pro

i can’t do the maxes theyre too clunky for me

[brisk jolt]

this is like my 3rd year using the phone

if im not wrong its from like 2023 june

[turbid locust]

what are you guys doing that you’re nuking batteries to the point of replacement in 2-3 years

[cosmic gazelle]

i live in california and do instacart in my car and otherwise drive incessantly and often need to charge with my phone both in use and in direct sunlight

[pure garnet]

taking 0 care of it because i wanted it to hit sub 80 before my apple care ran out

and it won’t so now it’s going to tmobile

[turbid locust]

I’m pretty sure the battery in my 12PM was defective but I still ran it for 4 years lol

it went from 100% health to 79% health in like 8-9 months and stayed there until I got rid of it

I’m about 9 months into my 16PM now and still 100% health

[brisk jolt]

8-9 is crazy, im currently at 75

[cosmic gazelle]

my battery is most certainly lasting less than 88% of its original length but i think apple’s reported percentage is bullshit to minimize free replacements

[brisk jolt]

tbf i used to mobile game a hell lot

[turbid locust]

do you guys limit your max charge or

[pure garnet]

nope

[turbid locust]

hmm

[pure garnet]

but i was intentionally trying to make it drop

[turbid locust]

lol

[pure garnet]

i paid $300 for a plan i made 0 use of

i was hoping to get one replacement in

[cosmic gazelle]

i can see the argument both for and against it but i don’t

[turbid locust]

I do personally but I can see why someone wouldn’t

[pure garnet]

fwiw i won’t on the next one

i’d rather replace the battery a bit early and have that extra 20%

[turbid locust]

quite frankly I charge mine to 80% and still have like 30-40% by the end of the day so…

and I average like 5-6 hours of screen on time

[pure garnet]

i end the day in the single digits rn

my battery is a tad cooked

i’ll treat the other one nicer

[turbid locust]

yeah that’s what a lot of people don’t realize

like you’re charging to 100% and ending the day with less battery than me charging to 80% lol

[brisk jolt]

some guy i for some reason call a “friend” was trynna flex his 17PM or whatever

I told him “Come my house and you’ll see ur 17PM get obliterated”

[turbid locust]

If anything I want an Air lol

I’ve seen like… 2 out in the wild

[ripe needle]

If our planet was wealthy enough so that everyone could be rich, wouldn't that cause everyone to be poor because inequality=wealth?

[low sorrel]

@turbid locust @brisk jolt @pure garnet pog champ

[brisk jolt]

did u hear abt the marvel rivals 40k tourney drama

[low sorrel]

no

[brisk jolt]

some guy (twitch streamer) was hard carrying the team and asked a girl teammate to switch off black widow bcs she’s 0-5

then shes not happy and i think reported him and he got kicked out

she then said she’s playing for fun/vibes LOL

[livid flame]

The worlds gone soft af

If it’s a tourney… I’d be screaming at her

[brisk jolt]

Dude was in the tourney to win and get some funds for his college

[livid flame]

The way CS coaches absolute berate players to get them in the zone. We would have shite tournaments if they couldn’t tell them they were shit and need to win the game

[brisk jolt]

Now the internet’s out for her and whoever let it go through

[livid flame]

I hate this whole “I’m in it for the vibes” thing. Like what plank came up with that phrase to excuse themselves for being an out and out tosser

[brisk jolt]

he had 3 girls on the team ofc he was gonna get votekicked 💀

-participate in a tourney for money
-im in it for the vibes

like are ya asking to get slapped or

[livid flame]

Yeah. Vibes to me just says people are trolling. The young persons phrase for being an absolute helmet it seems

[brisk jolt]

Dont want to be sexist or anything but this type of attitude is hella fckin biased

[oak vector]

If I had money on the line for anything and some fuckwit joined for the vibes and did smth stupid id be hella mad
Reminds me of a mr beast game where a girl tried to pull a stunt by doing smth early and got her whole team removed from the games

Realistically only one person could’ve won it
But it’s the principle of taking away a possible opportunity

[zenith fog]

[brisk jolt]

ok thing is he also got called things like broke and a ped by them

[zenith fog]

4 year old 6900xt for 5080 prices

[oak vector]

and this is why I hate society

[brisk jolt]

he got placed into a team basically full of women (not sure if its 3 or 4) and got bullied

after he got kicked they lost 8 times LMAO

[oak vector]

Karmas a bitch

[brisk jolt]

he was singlehandedly carrying the entire team btw

[oak vector]

You gonna be an asshole
You gonna get your ass whooped in one way or another

I had these two girls calling me short the other day
Like girl you 5 foot and im 5’9 tf

[brisk jolt]

and best part is she fucking related supporting the guy (names kingsman) like its supporting israel

[oak vector]

Im sorry but bullying is genuinely the stupidest thing ever
It just screams lack of intelligence in any sense

[brisk jolt]

ok not 0-8 but

they went 1-7

[oak vector]

They got their asses handed to them who cares

[brisk jolt]

thing is

he was a level 39 player and she was level 95 and still trash at the fucking game

[oak vector]

it’s like having money but blowing it on stupid impractical shit but not being able to cook a proper meal cos you don’t have food or utensils, or knowledge

there’s so many of those guys at my school it actually pisses me off

just so little perspective

[oak vector]

But the irony in this astonishes me

[brisk jolt]

the slander is hella LOL

[low sorrel]

looks at me being 5'7"/5'8" yeah...

[oak vector]

Like sure mb I ain’t 6’4
But im sorry you can’t be calling someone short when you’re 3 fourths of a damn foot shorter than them

it’s just the irony man 😭

[low sorrel]

See I call my friend short

But that's because he's 4'11

[oak vector]

Oh fr
Poor guy had no chance 😭

[oak vector]

That’s kinda warranted and funny
Bless his soul 😭

[low sorrel]

He's gotten taller

He was like 4'8 a few years ago

[ripe needle]

CS is king

[livid flame]

Not sure where sexism exists there. However the term vibe comes from young people. They use it as an excuse to be an asshole. If anything you could saying I’m being ageist in coining the term to young people. I just don’t like people inventing a term that is then taken out of context to excuse being assholes as if it’s all fine and well. It’s very similar to “it’s just a prank” culture in terms of context and misuse of wording.

If you’re going into something that’s serious for 90% of people and then using a term out of context to be an asshole, I think it deserves to be called out. As does the context in which people, young people in particular use it.

[oak vector]

how my homie feels after saying it's just a prank bro (he killed my dog)

[oak vector]

but yeah that's good point

[wraith steeple]

I fucking hate snow

[random flame]

I wonder if it's snowing up at my house again. We did get some before leaving for Tampa for a week.

[edgy laurel]

bro

briefly saw 2 degrees

[lethal oar]

do i need to remove my motherboard from my case to change the cpu cooler? i'm getting ready to replace a silentiumpc fera 3 cooler with a fortis 5 dual fan, my mobo is msi x570 iirc, and case is phanteks p400

[edgy laurel]

do the manuals for either require installing an included backplate?

and if so, does your case have a cutout for the backplate?

video install manual for the fera 3 shows it uses the stock backplate so no need there https://youtu.be/WV-ZnZjFK8g

Fortis 5 appears to use th esame method
can't link it directly but its available here https://endorfy.com/en/product/fortis-5-dual-fan/

product manuals are step 1 🙂

[sand tendon]

Insane card and price 😂

[lethal oar]

sweet, i checked the fortis 5 manual but completely forgot to check fera 3's, i'll get it done during college winter break then

[edgy laurel]

even if you did, a quick google shows that case has a sizable cutout for backplate access

[topaz veldt]

I remember using holesaws to make that cut out on cases before it was a thing lol

[edgy laurel]

bro it is COLD

[topaz veldt]

I spent the 4 min drive to school explaining that "1 degree" is a measurement

Each morning my son asks what the temperature is according to the car

[edgy laurel]

lol

[topaz veldt]

it said "+1"

[edgy laurel]

it was so rough

[topaz veldt]

hes like "+1 to what?!" I am like it sjust POSITIVE 1 DEGREE

"THATS NOT EVEN A REAL THING"

[edgy laurel]

haha. that concept hasn't hit him yet

[topaz veldt]

He's very smart... but he's 7

[edgy laurel]

while also being -17 degrees

might be a bit much at this point

[topaz veldt]

They are super pumped for the snow this weekend

[edgy laurel]

oh yeah I meant to check if its shifted a bit

ok yeah still centered around Sunday

[topaz veldt]

11" hnnnnng

[merry stirrup]

i saw him do 9k but imo it should be a given

on ocf you generally do good freq and it does resistances for you

[whole coral]

Big snowstorm coming possibly

Been tracking it a lot. 12-18 inches of snow is definitely possible

[dusty lotus]

amd could never

[topaz veldt]

we know

what do they mean by "4K, downscaled to 720p"?

the left image is 360p -> 720p DLSS
the right image is rendered at 2160p with SMAA, and then downscaled to 720p

i'm not really following how you achieve the right image

by pixelating the 4k image

[edgy laurel]

i'm talking specifics. settings.

[dusty lotus]

post production effects

[shell void]

probably downscaled the recording

[edgy laurel]

trying to work that out in my head

[shell void]

not using game settings

[dusty lotus]

he downscaled it in the editing

[edgy laurel]

oh

[shell void]

it’s an unrealistic comparison but it’s just showing how good DLSS is

only giving it 360p and comparing to a 2160p+SMAA render

[edgy laurel]

neat

[dusty lotus]

i only used preset m

i switched to preset l when i was watching that

[shell void]

it’s from this video

[dusty lotus]

i need to check it in other games than him

is this like guaranteed to always work?

[edgy laurel]

i still haven't really played with L apart from one, very bad experience in a pre-release UE5 game

[dusty lotus]

played gta v with preset m and it looked native

[shell void]

performance mode with L is nice

[dusty lotus]

cyberpunk looked blurry

[shell void]

i think it looks oversharpened with both M and L so that’s interesting

are you playing on a low res monitor?

[edgy laurel]

I think im' using M in Diablo but frankly i didn't notice anything from K. I wasn't thinking about it, just playing the game. It looked crispy before and still does (performance)

[dusty lotus]

no im like only gaming at 4k

used dlss balanced

and performance

[edgy laurel]

you can use the nvidia overlay to see what preset is in use

[dusty lotus]

it has an option?

[edgy laurel]

Alt-Shift-R to cycle between them

[shell void]

i wonder why nvidia didn’t just use model L

[dusty lotus]

model override?

[shell void]

yeah you can have your nvapp overlay show which dlss model you’re using

[dusty lotus]

gotta test that

[edgy laurel]

top of the screen, SR OVR Preset

[dusty lotus]

im curious if i can force dlss on apps that dont support dlss

[shell void]

no

[edgy laurel]

what needs to be a thing is preset swapping in game

i'm sure it can be done

Cyberpunk kinda supports it

since the update that included the original Transformer model

at least the bones to do it, not necessarily the physical options

[dusty lotus]

it says off 😔

[pure garnet]

instead of enabling the nvidia overlay i mess with the registry like god intended

[dusty lotus]

does gta v not support preset overriding?

[oak vector]

Rookie money numbers

[dusty lotus]

it looks good to me for dlss performance

[oak vector]

Also lmao I had to force direct x 10.1 or smth because it kept crashing on its default

[oak vector]

Yeah GTA V is quite forgiving looks wise
You can crank it on most pcs and good performance
Or you can turn settings right down and it doesn’t look like a pile of crap

[pure garnet]

see my thing is why do you need dlss performance to run an xbox 360 title

[dusty lotus]

thats for sure ts looks good even on my 1650 pc

vrams an issue but i just dropped textures on it and everything else was on max

[edgy laurel]

what you're getting with GTA5Enhanced at 4K with high settings is not what the Xbox 360 got

[dusty lotus]

a 360 would shit itself on that

[dusty lotus]

and this one says inactive

[frank zealot]

GTA V is ancient.
This year it's going to be old enough to have its own Discord account.

If it didn't run on potato PCs, I'd have some serious questions

[dusty lotus]

potato pcs would struggle a lot on enhanced edition

[frank zealot]

well, if you mod any game enough old PCs will have problems

doesn't make it a newer game

[edgy laurel]

GTA5 on 360 lmao

[pure garnet]

if you told me that screenshot was from the ps4 i’d have believed you

[frank zealot]

you can mod skyrim enough to make it hard to run lol

[pure garnet]

yeah the 360 copy was rough

[dusty lotus]

people hold onto the 360 like its the most important

didnt it struggle in minecraft?

[shell void]

it can yeah and it should be trivial

we already have model swapping now with the “recommended” override

[dusty lotus]

the ui just says inactive

[cosmic gazelle]

ps3 was more so a media center than a console though

didn’t have any decent games when it came out

[edgy laurel]

AyeeeeMD

at least they're not automatically selected

[cosmic gazelle]

bundle of terror and despair

[pure garnet]

glad to see amd is putting the weakest part of their cards right on the front page

my 1060 laptop was faster than my 6700 xt in stable diffusion

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t that just cuda

[pure garnet]

yeah rocm is borderline unusable

but that’s what you’re stuck with on radeon

[turbid locust]

Because that games engine is dogshit

I get dips online

It was even worse before the remaster

[cosmic gazelle]

didn’t it literally take the gta online devs 8 years and an independent modder fixing it himself to fix the online loading times

[pure garnet]

it’s more they didn’t try until the modder documented the fix

then it got patched

[gentle loom]

hey I’m looking for help with my pc please I am having “no internet, secured” I have tried everything CMD command I have tried reinstalling windows with a ISO but keeping my apps and files and I have tried everything please help me.

[dusty lotus]

and they said nvidia is all about ai

[cosmic gazelle]

not your pcs problem more than likely

could just be your modem shitting itself

[gentle loom]

it works on my phone and my xbox I have tried restarting my router too

[edgy laurel]

why not start with the basics. are you getting an IP?

[gentle loom]

I tried ethernet and wifi on my pc and both show no internet

[dusty lotus]

the

[turbid locust]

No, the modder just figured out part of the loading process involved parsing the same file billions of times and stopped it. And then the devs used it lol.

[edgy laurel]

ipconfig /all

Whats the output?

[edgy laurel]

ping 192.168.1.1

[gentle loom]

it says minimum 1ms average 1ms and max 1ms

[edgy laurel]

so you can reach your router

ping 8.8.8.8

so you can at least reach the internet

[gentle loom]

my wifi just randomly came back on when I did that..

but I can’t reach any websites

the webpage says the site can’t be reached

oh nevermind my windows just lied to me I can’t do anything it disconnected again

[edgy laurel]

you were connected to your router via Wifi in the first screenshot. You had an IP of 192.168.1.184 provided by your router (192.168.1.1)

[gentle loom]

yes?

I’m confused sorry

[edgy laurel]

start a constant ping to your router.

ping 192.168.1.1 -t

[gentle loom]

it says request timed out

[edgy laurel]

Are you connected to a wifi network?

[gentle loom]

yes

[edgy laurel]

can you prove it?

(so i'm sure)

[edgy laurel]

reboot (power cycle) your router, see if anything changes. are you seeing good signal strength?

[gentle loom]

I tried that

I used to get full bars wifi before this

[edgy laurel]

can you connect to another Wifi network to see if that works? Phone hotspot?

[gentle loom]

I tried that same thing

[edgy laurel]

or better yet, plug into ethernet and bypass wifi all together

[gentle loom]

I did troubleshoot and it says “The DNS server isn’t responding”

[gentle loom]

did that and that says no internet.

[edgy laurel]

Resetting the network stack
Note that these commands affect all of your networking adapters, both physical and virtual, both used and unused, so you will see some errors when running these commands, where the resets targeted adapters that are not being used. These errors are perfectly normal, and not a cause for concern. Complete each step in order, even if you have done some of these previously, and even if you encounter errors.

In the search box on the taskbar click Start, type command prompt, right-click the command prompt result and then select Run as administrator and confirm.
At the command prompt (decline restarting your machine until you have entered the final command):
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter. (This will stall for a moment.)
Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter. (Don’t restart yet.)
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Now restart your machine using Start > Power > Restart once more and test to see if the issue is resolved.

[gentle loom]

already tried all that before lol

I’ll do it again I guess

[edgy laurel]

if you're seeing the same things on your wired Ethernet adapter and wireless Wifi adapter, sounds like something local if no other devices on the same network show a problem

[pure garnet]

did you check if the router is possibly blocking that devices internet connection

[edgy laurel]

i'm doing a bunch of assuming because its too difficult to articulate everything over text

[pure garnet]

through like parental controls or whatever

[gentle loom]

okay so this all happened as yesterday I attempted to connect my pc via a VPN to my xbox but then this happened so I deleted my vpns all of them on my pc with revo uninstalled and now this is happening.

no one manages the internet admin but me.

[edgy laurel]

Oh, you installed VPN software. I bet you have some weird virtual adapter screwing everything up

[gentle loom]

I deleted all of them with revo I used windscribe and proton vpn

[edgy laurel]

your command prompt earlier mentioned at least 12 network adapters

[analog scroll]

Not really

at least not for me

[gentle loom]

in device manager I see microsoft virtual adapter #1 and #2 in hidden devices though h

okay just did that last method you told me and that didn’t work.

[edgy laurel]

hit the windows key, type the following then hit enter. send a screenshot of what you see .

ncpa.cpl

[gentle loom]

I see my wifi and my ethernet

nothing else.

[edgy laurel]

just those two

[gentle loom]

yup

I’ve been through lots of forums tons of videos I can’t fix this issue it’s been 48 hours since it occurred

I am grasping at straws here.

[edgy laurel]

you were briefly able to ping both your router and google, so it got out

[gentle loom]

I’m so confused why it won’t work

[edgy laurel]

can you forget/delete your wifi network entirely then reconnect again? might have to type in the password again

[gentle loom]

tried that multiple times

I did network reset about 5 times
