last i looked 4070ti super and 4080 were both massively overpriced in the usa, but maybe it's different where he is

pallid marsh
#

Nvidia has better and more software features and will probably support their cards longer looks at the nearly maintenance mode rx 5700xt

shell void
#

theyve refused to formally release int8 fsr4 for a year even though itll work on rdna2 and rdna3

#

your card is one gen old and lisa says throw it away

pallid marsh
#

Int8 fsr4 is a game changer for the steam deck

frank zealot
tranquil finch
#

I just dont understand people that would choose even 3050 over 9070xt 😭

frank zealot
#

As an RX 7900 user? AMD Pissed me off by dumping most support for my GPU already

low sorrel
#

Where did the 3050 come in here

frank zealot

#

i dont like any of these gpu companies any more, can we have china gpus

#

i want less stable GPUs for more fun gameplay

tranquil finch
#

Well, some people really would, fortnite kids

shell void
#

with Int8 FSR4 it's still a totally relevant powerful 20GB card outside of RT/PT

low sorrel
#

Ok where did this ever come into play here

#

Why are you moving the goal posts

vestal granite
#

i miss the days of my graphics drivers crashing because i opened radeon overlay and windows snipping tool at the same time

#

give me more instability and less cost

there was a time when i knew this

cosmic gazelle
#

i’ve set up my media center pc to use steam input to control the desktop using only my controller

#

can’t believe i never thought of this before

vestal granite
# vestal granite there was a time when i knew this

instead of tracking every gpu price im repurposing my high powered (real and not untrue) retail price scraping into just monitoring individual product listing prices and then people can track whatever they want instead of me tracking 15,000 GPU listings when 14998 of them are useless

Idk but they are now classified as motorcycles in Jersey no matter the kind

vestal granite

thats cool

#

theyre fucking dangerous to travel at 25mph on a street with no helmet and if you hit someone youre gonna badly injure them

Even the low power European kind are motorcycles that top out at 15mph and will turn off the motor if you go past that

micron bought them

they're japanese

shell void
#

oh makes sense that i havent seen elpida, they havent been relevant since 2014

pure garnet
#

i bought that card for like $30 to mess with

#

i dont think i ever overclocked it

shell void
#

what is it? gtx 970?

pure garnet
#

yeah

shell void
#

goated card despite the vram scandle

#

still more gddr5 than a 780ti which it performed similarly to for half the price

pallid marsh
#

What was the law suit payout $20 a person?

pure garnet
#

i bought it about 2 years ago becuase it was the minimum requirements to play ffxiv

#

well, 7700k + 970 was, and i wanted to see how my 6700k/970 setup would fare

#

chunky game now

shell void
#

minimum windows 11 and i7 7700, but i7 7700 isnt officially suported in windows 11

#

im guessing itll run fine on anything windows 10 20H2+

merry stirrup
#

yeah 970 is good theyre both workin

pure garnet
#

or whenever windows 10 went eol

#

the game runs fine on win 10 square just will not help you at ALL if you run the game on windows 10

pure garnet
#

i had to swap to a different tape like halfway through packing your latest order

shell void
#

i wonder if mainline windows 10 support will be extended

#

iirc still half of windows PCs are using windows 10

#

theyll have a hard time convincing people that they need to buy new parts and use copilot

south shuttle
#

i still run win 10 ehhe

pure garnet
#

45% of firefox users use win 11

#

33% use windows 10

#

windows 7 is 5.7%

shell void
pure garnet

merry stirrup
#

also it does NOT do +150 core so im fo SHO blowing this thing up with volts

shell void
#

the 7% better performance in cpu limited gaming in windows 24H2+ with branch prediction updated is cool, but i havent been able to defeat the visual artifacts that exist in 24H2+ so it's meh

i made copies of my win 10 medias in case i lose one

768p is dying yippe

shell void
#

for a sec i was wondering why 768p was prevalent at all because that was a TV res, but i remembered that a lot of laptops used it too

#

instead of just using 1280x720p for whatever reason

pure garnet
#

bascially every laptop i saw that wasn't 1080p was 768p

#

aside from my thinkpad that was 1600x900 tn factory

edgy laurel
#

don't forget 1280x800

south shuttle
#

phones also used a lot of sorts of wonky resolutions

pure garnet
#

honestly windows 11 has had a more steady growth then people would make you think

shell void
#

20% of users still being in windows 7 in 2021 is kinda crazy

#

though i guess it's still safe to use today

#

vista (6) and windows 7 (6.1) got their last security patch in january 2026

i’m sure the first thing that’ll be redistributed is the average home on a loan owner and not the ones with billions

south shuttle

i’m talking about a hypothetical scenario where everything gets distributed evenly

#

expect like nuclear weapons

#

those will go to sane people

pure garnet
#

yeah and there’s a hole in your hypothetical

#

financed equity is the banks

south shuttle
#

i mean i will remove the nukes

#

no nukes for anyone

#

when you’re already breaking reality why not all the way?

south shuttle
#

imagine how easy that is to implement kvetinky said

pure garnet
#

yes but unless michaels parents own the home outright it’s not theirs to need to redistribute

south shuttle

type of hypothetical scenario

pure garnet

except it's not theirs

it's the banks

@merry stirrup I have great luck in tarkov, I signed up for one of those offical tarkov sessions and the sherpa said and I quote I have never in my 7000 hours of tarkov have seen someone die because of the map ambient noise covering up sound

south shuttle
#

i don’t see where that could even go wrong

#

if someone doesn’t get this all i said so far is sarcasm obviously it wouldn’t work

#

the best you can do fr rn is help as an individual to a greater cause like donate to improve recycling industry

@edgy laurel i cant lie, downsizing is looking less appealing by the day

i hope the rumors of the 42" C6 having higher brightness are true, but im skeptical

Yeah, probably that

#

Genuine question. If I reverse engineer hardware that costs like... A lot. Is it considered piracy?

devout ridge
#

you can't pirate hardware, you can pirate software

#

once you buy the hardware, it's yours to do with as you please

lethal topaz
#

i think its intellectual theft when you are reproducing it for profit

devout ridge
#

You can do almost anything you want for personal benefit, it's when you try to turn a profit that it's a problem

lethal topaz
#

so why is pirating media illegal

devout ridge
#

you can pirate software

lethal topaz
#

hmm

somber lagoon
devout ridge
#

As an individual, it's nearly impossible to be prosecuted for software piracy

#

They really only ever pursue large distributors if at all

#

(this is not legal advice, i'm not a lawyer)

somber lagoon
lethal topaz
#

im gonna start trying to read all your messages in irohs voice

devout ridge
#

worst case is your ISP drops you if they see lots of illegal torrents on your network

#

You can pretty easily prevent your ISP from seeing you torrent legal Linux ISO's only, with a VPN

somber lagoon
devout ridge
#

I mean when your country is at war, the minor laws matter a lot less

#

government is a bit preoccupied

somber lagoon
#

Ironically, the school I used to go got fined for pirating windows lmao

devout ridge

Haha

#

I mean that is potentially thousands of dollars worth of license keys

lethal topaz
#

thats like one of the five settings you dont want to pirate windows

somber lagoon
lethal topaz
#

i will not be elaborating goodnight

devout ridge
#

If it makes you money, don't pirate it

somber lagoon
#

So... Idk, really
Maybe it was worse than it was told to me

devout ridge
#

it is really easy to pirate windows nowadays

#

for TOS reasons i can't really elaborate on that

somber lagoon
#

Yeah, let's not :p

#

Anyway... Iroh, do you tinker with microcontrollers?

devout ridge
#

no

#

would like to get into it at some point, but not as of now

on two occasions I happened to look at my postcode readout after noticing I could hear my fans and saw 87c. One time I was gaming but the other time just sitting at the desktop. Two cores were not pegged in usage but the temp was over 85c and the rest were fine. The first time I was just a little freaked so I rebooted and all was well. The second time I noticed Discord sitting at a constant 9-10% usage so I killed its proccess and things dropped down to normal.

topaz veldt

was the 87c static? Sometimes I see that and assume the system crashed

edgy laurel

it seemed to be the first time, but once I closed the game it dropped to 85c so it i guess not

marsh apex

it was really only affecting two cores, 0 and 1

instead of buying a prebuilt

topaz veldt

the second occurance I was able to link it to Discord

it was really strange because it wasn't like the cores were pegged out in task manager or even really sucking back power on their own, just the temp was redlining

very weird. step 1 on the road to a reinstall

taskmanager got kinda wierd and unreliable

I was primarily looking at per-core stats in hwinfo for both usage, power and temp
