[devout ridge]

i tried to make that argument, but i got yelled at

[hoary hatch]

If I can't see her she doesn't exist

[teal orbit]

I see

[smoky orbit]

*you don’t see

[steel stream]

one lucky lady

[teal orbit]

Proof

[scarlet arch]

Saturate and brightness the shit out of that photo and you'll see a turtle (hopefully)

[teal orbit]

I can read this chat

[smoky orbit]

[merry stirrup]

what is the plan for you computer nerds today

[devout ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-dale-gribble-pocket-sand-pocket-sand-gif-3699662

[scarlet arch]

Uhh... 2AM for me, not sure

[merry stirrup]

going to try and secure top 10 when i’m home on 4690K multicore benching

[devout ridge]

buy a 14in M5 pro macbook pro

[scarlet arch]

Fuck I have school at 8AM

[merry stirrup]

only like 75 points off it

~4800 points in r23

[smoky orbit]

Finally get to install the 8 pin pcie extension cable in my server

[steel stream]

for me? You shouldn't have

[steel stream]

I gotta keep writing this report

[merry stirrup]

my 2 samples of 4690k are very different

[merry stirrup]

one does 4.7 and the other does 4.9 at the same voltage

[late atlas]

January of 2025, reminder of how good times were

[smoky orbit]

I which they would make 10” versions, would be sooooo funy that I would buy one for the memes

[merry stirrup]

(1.38)

[devout ridge]

15mm thick

[merry stirrup]

idk if that is any good but it’s what i got

[smoky orbit]

Even funnier

[devout ridge]

what you want is one of those cyberdecks people keep building

[smoky orbit]

(Without the screen being closed)

[smoky orbit]

Nah, I want a meme MacBook for funsies

[scarlet arch]

ok I think I'mma go nap already, feeling like I was dragged on floor slowly

[steel stream]

hotel california

[scarlet arch]

Good... Day? Night? Tf I say

[scarlet arch]

[funny and original response]

bye

[devout ridge]

lobotomize a macbook neo and do it yourself

[smoky orbit]

Actually a good idea, making a note for when they’ll be cheap on the second hand market

[steel stream]

You guys see Mr Cook is stepping down

[smoky orbit]

Yeehshshshshsh, an actual engineer will take his place

[wraith steeple]

I see. Welp okay

I would love a PC-98 or FM Towns

[steel stream]

I mean tim cook graduated with an industrial engineering + business degree, it'll just be interesting to see a new ceo, Tim's been there for 15 years

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh interesting

[trim agate]

I’m taking over

[wraith steeple]

Though it would be a lot cheaper to fly to Japan and bring it back to the states given how expensive those tend to get

[smoky orbit]

Yayayayayayayayaya, goody luck

[wraith steeple]

Those things go for an obscene amount for what they are

[turbid locust]

valve actually updated their game this is crazy

[smoky orbit]

(Which one?)

[steel stream]

TF2

[smoky orbit]

Wait, what? What did they update? (I swear if they just moved a box on one map)

[turbid locust]

CS2

[steel stream]

no I lied I have no idea

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/were-going-streaking-will-ferrell-old-school-the-tank-frank-ricard-gif-9174142598901078123

[smoky orbit]

X3, they changed a random object’s place?

[wise bear]

hehehehehehe

[turbid locust]

No they revamped the animation system, making it less network and cpu intensive while looking better and more consistent

[fringe vigil]

JAson deruloo

[turbid locust]

Like, an actual improvement to the game

It’s wild lmfao

[smoky orbit]

Less…… network intensive huh?????

[turbid locust]

Yeah smaller packets required to send the info between server and clients

[smoky orbit]

why aren’t the animations locally stored??

[turbid locust]

Well, like, they are for the client. The server communicates those animations to everyone

[wise bear]

you still have to sync them

[turbid locust]

yeah what Peyton said

[low sorrel]

Sync

[wise bear]

i was here first

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhh dummy bwain, forgor that part

[turbid locust]

I am excited to try it tonight

[wise bear]

yeah most game server communication nowadays is integrity checks, motion & animation sync data, error correction, and scorekeeping lol

[steel stream]

yo can we play goat simulator 3 tn

[turbid locust]

Buy me goat simulator 3 and I will play it with you

[steel stream]

ok we gotta wait for a sale

[turbid locust]

[young void]

This is the way

[steel stream]

I'm not spending $30 on you I'm sorry

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[low sorrel]

I'll buy both of y'all nuclear option if you buy me goat simulator 3

[steel stream]

idk what nuclear option

[low sorrel]

You exercise the nuclear option

[devout ridge]

the 9gb download at 3.5mb/s finished!

[wraith steeple]

[placid blaze]

[young void]

[devout ridge]

i thought torrenting was supposed to be fast

[wise bear]

yes & no

The fastest I've ever gotten through torrenting is just shy of 2gb/s

but that was also with 2 instances of qbit on 2 different vpns because 1gb/s max pipe

...and a lot of active acquisitions

[granite pivot]

Cpu: ryzen 5 2600
Mobo: msi b450
Ram: 8gb ram
Storage: 500ssd
Gpu: rx 5700xt
Psu: 650w
Case: n/a just some regular case

Is $230 a good price for this build?

[steel stream]

depends

[turbid locust]

if you want a pc for the cheap it’s not bad

[granite pivot]

Naw i plan to resell it

[turbid locust]

then nevermind it’s a terrible deal don’t buy it

[granite pivot]

How much would the gpu actually cost

[pure garnet]

between 3 and all the money in the world

[turbid locust]

I don’t know I don’t buy computer parts

[devout ridge]

Yeah UTorrent was limiting me cause i refuse to pay for torrenting

[pure garnet]

you should be using any other client

[steel stream]

use qbit

[wise bear]

qbittorrent bro..

[teal orbit]

transmission users rise up

[steel stream]

get a load of this guy am I right?

using uTorrent in the big 26

[wise bear]

im like actually disappointed

[devout ridge]

bro idk i don't torrent all that often

[steel stream]

mods explode this guy

[devout ridge]

i usually do it in super large batches when i feel like adding new media

I of course only torrent Linux ISOs so as to comply with Discord ToS and the copyright of all affiliated parties

[steel stream]

gotta hop on qBit asap

[teal orbit]

surprised utorrent can be used for anything other than Linux isos

[devout ridge]

Anyways let me go to the theater to 100% legally watch Project Hail Mary

[pure garnet]

it’s a good movie

[steel stream]

I am waiting for it to come to streaming

the theaters by me are poopoo garbage

[brisk jolt]

get that non OLED panel outta my face

[steel stream]

I like going to the movies, but the theater by me plays not leveled blurry 1080p content

[pure garnet]

i like the movies but it’s too expensive to go often

[steel stream]

I think the most recent time I went was to watch godzilla minus one rerelease?

and then before that it was the minecraft movie

or it was shin godzilla rerelease i can't recall

[pure garnet]

do i finally replace my logitech speakers with something better

[steel stream]

yeah I'd recommend that

[merry stirrup]

why does it even matter tho?

like am i realistically going to get different speeds on a different client

[steel stream]

uTorrent has been used to spread malware in the past

[merry stirrup]

oh fire

i use qbit at home but never knew why it mattered

transmission also exists apparently it is good

it looks slightly more modern but idk torrent is torrent

[steel stream]

yeah transmission is recommended as well

[merry stirrup]

heard good stuff from bigly

[steel stream]

Imma just stick to qbit because I have it set up on my nas properly already and I don't want to do it again

[merry stirrup]

yeah same i have the web ui fully setup

and i know how to use it so that too

[steel stream]

if it ain't broke don't fix it

[merry stirrup]

my homie setup a crap ton of jfin plugins and got it all pretty

requests are integrated into the one site instead of users having to go to seer manually

all you gotta do is just click the request button after searching it on jfin

proper episode select, sleep timer, pretty ui, intro skip, etc

[steel stream]

my download amount is low now, so I just do it manually tbh

[merry stirrup]

well i got 12 users

so it’s moderately different

[steel stream]

yeah it's just my apartment that uses it so it's chill

[merry stirrup]

upping to 16 here soon

[steel stream]

what do you use to share it with the outside world?

[steel stream]

damnnnnn

[merry stirrup]

nothing i just have hella homies, tailscale if you mean it like dat doe

[steel stream]

yeah I meant tailscale

[merry stirrup]

i have proxmox on tailscale, then each vm is on tailscale

[steel stream]

Floppaflix

[merry stirrup]

so external admin (my homie/day one) gets full access to server

& can restart vms in proxmox when im not able to

[steel stream]

please give me full access 😢

[merry stirrup]

join up 👿👿

[merry stirrup]

we call it(i named it) floppafin

[steel stream]

Needs to be FloppaTV+

[merry stirrup]

FloppaServe
DoppaServe (docker)
FloppaFin

truenas is just named truenas but the share in truenas is named floppadisk

[merry stirrup]

real. it would be cute branding on the site

[merry stirrup]

appropriate floppa names

[trim agate]

FloppaTV Ultra (ad free)

[steel stream]

once you reach 16 users send an official email to all of them letting them know you're upping the prices and reducing 4K bitrate to 5mbps

[merry stirrup]

LMAO SO REAL.

jokes aside tho my home server was very cheap because of my previous employer

[steel stream]

can you limit bitrates in Jfin? I would imagine you could

[merry stirrup]

gave me all the storage basically, super useful

[steel stream]

the 🐐 fr fr

[wise bear]

you can

[trim agate]

FloppaFlix

[merry stirrup]

yeah you can, even for transcodes specifically etc etc

[steel stream]

limit it to 5mbps until someone complains

[trim agate]

Disable gpu transcoding for that 1 piece of shit

[merry stirrup]

everyone would at least the main couple who use it basically erry day

[teal orbit]

buy a 4090 for transcoding

[merry stirrup]

the 10700 can cpu encode exactly nothing

[steel stream]

I want to limit it to 5mbps and then play my like 80mbps+ files

[trim agate]

Sounds like a terrible day for that user

[merry stirrup]

with multiple users and services running on it, cpu transcoding slows the whole machine down

so it would go from being that users problem to being everyone’s problem

[trim agate]

One POS ruined it for everyone gg

[merry stirrup]

not enough clock cycles to do that and run 11 other VM’s

[merry stirrup]

fuck that guy

[merry stirrup]

no i stole kyokos arc for this

[pallid marsh]

Poor soul using a decade old 14nm+++++ tech

[merry stirrup]

so real

[steel stream]

what beautiful GPUs

they encode and look pretty

[merry stirrup]

yeah it’s a shame it’s fucking annoying and has no fan stop

doubled the noise output of my server no lie

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-pee-cat-pee-funny-lmfao-gif-14727908981812019274

[steel stream]

oh damn does it really?

the loudest part of my server is the hard drive clicking away

[merry stirrup]

yeah it’s kinda fart. unless it’s just linux doesn’t support it but i doubt it

yeah i have 3 hdds but the arc gets loud ish on warm days with hella users axtivw

[steel stream]

damn

[low sorrel]

I torrent with a VPN without port forwarding

[steel stream]

luckily i got to put the server in the living room, it's nice for my room, but not so nice when watching movies

[teal orbit]

put the gpu in a rackmount server and it'll no longer be the loudest part of the server

[merry stirrup]

this is the method here next week

well a little after fiber goes in on the 28th, then it can just be as loud as it needs to be

hopefully will be significantly upgraded by then

[brisk jolt]

i should grab a z890 aorus master and 270k for a home server

absolutely essential

[steel stream]

get a z890 nova instead

7 nvme slots

[brisk jolt]

z890 aorus master has 10gbe and I dont have that many nvme

[smoky orbit]

“I should get the newest arm cpu for my home server, can’t use anything else”

[steel stream]

damn

[brisk jolt]

dude the nova is 30 bucks more over the master

[trim agate]

Just get a nic bro 😭

[brisk jolt]

like listen 350 for the z890 aorus master is incredible

[trim agate]

Those things are like $30

[brisk jolt]

syfm

[trim agate]

I paid $30 plus shipping for my x540 and fan

[brisk jolt]

do i even need a gpu for a home server

or do I ball with the 270k igpu

[steel stream]

it's Arc

so it'll be fine

[brisk jolt]

i mean I have a b580 to use

[fringe vigil]

i dont really want no one else

[trim agate]

Probably not

I didn’t use one for months before my 1070 was freed up

[merry stirrup]

not unless you’re in my situation really

hella users doing transcoding or whatnot

[trim agate]

Yes this needs a gpu

[steel stream]

tell them to get better setups so they can direct play

[pallid marsh]

For all 7 of my 8tb gen 5 nvmes

[steel stream]

also how is tailscale free? this shit is goated

[brisk jolt]

ma man

[steel stream]

don't worry baby girl, the Z890 Nova comes with a riser card where you can put an additonal four drives in PCIE slot

[low sorrel]

Guys how do I make an Instagram post I need to crash out at apple

[merry stirrup]

usually it’s about the audio or just a mix of random things

dolby/atmos/whatnot

& some of them have shittier internet

so on so on

[pure garnet]

2080ti fe calls to me like the green goblin

[brisk jolt]

sorry babe its between the Z890 Aorus Master for value or the Z890I nova for smallness

[steel stream]

i dunno I deleted it

[pure garnet]

z890 master mentioned

[steel stream]

real, audio is such a pain

[merry stirrup]

yeah so most of them direct stream but transcode audio

[brisk jolt]

that aorus master is so tempting but its so big

[pallid marsh]

Not apples fault you lost your airpods

[pure garnet]

i think the titan rtx is nicest looking video card

[low sorrel]

Nuh uh it's apples fault find my is broken

[pallid marsh]

The alarm no workie?

[brisk jolt]

skill issue

[low sorrel]

The location no sensing

[steel stream]

Nah I fuck heavy with the current gen FEs

[pallid marsh]

Have you tried physically looking for your lost items like they did in the 1900s?

[low sorrel]

Yws

[brisk jolt]

decisions decisions

[pallid marsh]

Did the bird that shit on you take them? Maybe it was a two bird operation one shat on you while the other took the air pods while you were distracted

[pure garnet]

those are nice but the turing fes are just my favorite in general

[pallid marsh]

Smh that would be Supporting Israel

For a $255 broken card

[steel stream]

they are solid

idk any RTX FE just looks good lol

old titans look cool too

[merry stirrup]

1070FE is a very cool card idk

[pure garnet]

i really do wanna buy one of these

but they're not great benches afaik

[brisk jolt]

i just remembered I have a H6 flow sitting around I can literally use that

[pure garnet]

compared to aib models

[merry stirrup]

terrible

[steel stream]

DAMN.

[brisk jolt]

DAMN.

METALLI

[merry stirrup]

GTX 7/9/10 FE my goat

[pallid marsh]

Did Elijah install the shelves I see a lot of extra holes

[merry stirrup]

no i did and the studs aren’t installed to spec lol

[brisk jolt]

getting a 270K Z890 aorus master for a home server sounds so funny

[merry stirrup]

basically kyoko

[brisk jolt]

i have no ram for it btw

unless i just shove it one stick of h24m

[merry stirrup]

same that’s my issue with my d5 server upgrade

either i buy lga 1700 matx d4 or buy ram for the mpower

[brisk jolt]

i wonder how much ram i want/need for it

[merry stirrup]

furthers the pickle i’m in, i neeed at least 64

i’d start with like 32 if your needs aren’t insane

[trim agate]

Still tryna figure this out

[trim agate]

I started with 16

[merry stirrup]

they likely have some other business model that isn’t consumers and is in fact big businesses so they don’t need us to pay allat much besides our info

[merry stirrup]

i mean that’s also fine

[trim agate]

I don’t think setsuna’s gonna do much with a home server

[merry stirrup]

also private so they have way less of an incentive to make money

[trim agate]

#tech-chat-1 message

this is all he said he’d use with a home server

Well based off my list of what I’m using personally

[merry stirrup]

media stack can take a pretty decent amount of resources, at least more than 16GB depending

[trim agate]

No shot

[merry stirrup]

homie my home server rn is at 80% out of 64GB and nothing but media related tasks are open

i’m not saying it’s impossible for a media server to fit into 16GB but i’m saying it’s nice to have more than that because the minimum isn’t far off

[merry stirrup]

truenas, portainer stack, jfin

[trim agate]

Wtf 😭

For sure it’s nice to have but what I’m trying to imply is to just use whatever’s on hand for now before dumping $350 into a motherboard and some more into memory

I’m using about 70% of 48gb and it’s pretty much running every single service on my home server

[brisk jolt]

i can only imagine jellyfin, tailscale and uh
idk maybe a mc server but i dont have mc LOL

[trim agate]

I highly recommend password manager to anyone with a home server

You can integrate it with your phones tablets and computers

It has gets OTPs for you

[brisk jolt]

hm ok anything else

[trim agate]

Super configurable regarding security and easy of use

[gloomy vault]

i recommend roblox

and pubg

[vestal granite]

guys

[brisk jolt]

say i use pw manager jellyfin and tailscale how much ram do I need

im not includjng a game server yet

[trim agate]

Everything else in my home server aside from my nas is like gimmicky shit that you don’t need

[brisk jolt]

give me that list again

[trim agate]

You could get away with 16

[trim agate]

NAS
password manager
file converter
VPN
media stack (*arr)
local dns & backup
monitoring stack (for temps, performance, notifications etc)
SIEM monitoring
minecraft server for a couple friends
image uploader site for embeds
spotify data tracker
iperf server
speedtest tracker

Monitoring is just a logs thing for my main pc and VMs/containers I care about

[brisk jolt]

pw manager
vpn
media
like thats all

[trim agate]

Like when my jellyfin server somehow runs out of storage

[trim agate]

Yes the rest are all gimmicky stuff

[brisk jolt]

the cheapest solution would be to just stuff my 1tb sata into my aunt’s pc and have that as a home server

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup what if i got a 7980xe

[brisk jolt]

or can I use my laptop

how would that go

[smoky orbit]

yes, but make sure you can't close the lid

[brisk jolt]

its a pretty shit 8945hs with 32gb ram 1tb ssd

[trim agate]

You can 100% do this but you’ll need to install a different OS

[brisk jolt]

can i grab another ssd and do that

[smoky orbit]

yes, but why change it?

[brisk jolt]

as in add it into the laptop

it has another slot for it

[smoky orbit]

ohh, yes, more storage is good (even if you should be fine with 1 tb)

[trim agate]

Yeah

You can close the lid you just need to enable the “stay on when lid is closed” or whatever idk where that setting would be

[smoky orbit]

if that's available in the os, I don't think server oriented os have that

[trim agate]

It might not

[smoky orbit]

yeah

[trim agate]

Could be in bios but IDK I never used a laptop for this before

[brisk jolt]

hows a 2tb 970 evo for $280

[smoky orbit]

Never seen that in a bios, I've messed with a bunch of laptops, maybe mine never had that

[trim agate]

Nah it prob doesn’t

[brisk jolt]

i have 2 options of either using a laptop or using a sata ssd with my ch160 at no cost

[trim agate]

You can legit do this on a 256gb drive

[smoky orbit]

*mines

yeah, even 1tb is really overkill

[trim agate]

What takes up the most storage will be the movies and shows for ur jellyfin collection

[trim agate]

But this ideally would be on a different drive and is usually on a spinning disk

[brisk jolt]

yeah I want them in 4K

need the 4K HDR man

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/star-gif-16789607377123159596

[topaz veldt]

so smol

[wise bear]

but sufficient tbh

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/agree-to-disagree-anchorman-ron-burgundy-will-ferrell-disagree-gif-17447777

[wise bear]

3x 8tb z1

[wise bear]

for me, mister several-racks-in-his-basement

[trim agate]

Get like 16tb of hard drive 😭

[smoky orbit]

yep, my server's os is on a 128 gb nvme (would have gone smaller if there was any available) and the rest is just hdds

[trim agate]

I’m on 256gb nvme and all the bigger storage stuff is just mounted hdds

[topaz veldt]

i hate how macos does smb

actually I just hate Finder

[trim agate]

My 1 issue with macOS

Well not the sole issue but it’s a big part of it

[smoky orbit]

*there are some 16, 32, 64gb optane drives rattily available, but I'm not using an optane drive for that

[wraith steeple]

I haven't used macOS in a decade in a half

[merry stirrup]

y tho? mem is so awfully priced you wouldn’t want to buy 4/8 decent dimms of d4 rn

currently doing my best to avoid buying memory at all rn until things drop down some

[shell void]

if you already have 4 or 8 spare dimms then a delidded 7980xe would probably be fun to tune and bench for a couple of days

[merry stirrup]

i’m not sure if shawty does

[shell void]

but ~$300 is a lot to spend for a couple of days of entertainment

[merry stirrup]

yeah real

[indigo walrus]

(I too have roughly that much storage free, but am slowly creeping towards needing more in a year or two...)

[merry stirrup]

bdie is high price, ballistix are relatively pricey, you could get shit green sticks of hynix but you only get freq and shit timings on hynix d4 which is unimportant for x299

[pure garnet]

bench into overkill nas probably

[merry stirrup]

idk it’s up to your wallet here in a little bit

try to find d4

[pure garnet]

idek what ICs exist

samsung c die 🤑

[cosmic gazelle]

you can get 16gb of decently binned b die for like 70 bucks if you look long enough

maybe less

[pure garnet]

well i found micron rev e

32gb of micron rev e would be $120 @merry stirrup

[cosmic gazelle]

thats not a bad price but i dont really know that rev e performs that well at lower frequencies? idk

i’m no expert tho

[pure garnet]

i mean i see hwbot subs at 4000 with the 7980xe

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i’m pretty sure rev e is known for high frequency

[gloomy vault]

is it even a good kit

[pure garnet]

4x8 from 2 kits

it's the generic rev e kit

[spiral quarry]

bruh I paid way more for it in 2021 lol

and 220$ for a 32gb ram kit

[brisk jolt]

its sgd btw

[spiral quarry]

Ah

[brisk jolt]

but idk if i want a 970 evo

100% health

[spiral quarry]

Both of mines have been pretty reliable

the old controller and new one

And I beat them with ingesting footage quite often

[brisk jolt]

do you think its worth it

970 evo plus 2tb for 280? maybe i might nego it down

[spiral quarry]

280sgd?

[brisk jolt]

yeah

$218 usd

its kinda a shame but like

[spiral quarry]

idk how I feel about paying that price with the current situation lol

[low sorrel]

SIR THAT'S WORSE

also any of y'all got anime that isn't uhh

How do I say this politely

[brisk jolt]

its a 7 yo model even tho its 100% health

[low sorrel]

Not Gooner shit

[brisk jolt]

i binged wistoria wand and sword yesterday

1-12
animation quality is nice
the frames arent top notch but still good
story pacing is nice
plot is okay

@spiral quarry but if its just for gaming it shouldnt be a biggie tbh

[spiral quarry]

I would hunt for other deals but if that is the only option I ain't stopping ya.

[brisk jolt]

i mean
9100 pros 2tb are $440 💀

everything i say that is not specified as USD is in SGD

[analog scroll]

if I have SSD do I need to defrag

[spiral quarry]

never done it on my drives

[brisk jolt]

i nego’d it down to 250 sgd/195 usd

[spiral quarry]

That's better, yea with the current prices ya go for it if you want.

My brain hurts just seeing them

[brisk jolt]

i mean
at least it has dram

[spiral quarry]

tru

can't say the same about my 990 evo plus

[brisk jolt]

i rn have 2 990 pros, 4 and 2

then a P3 plus in my 7600X build just doing excel
and a 950 evo i use to store vms for sch

[spiral quarry]

It works otherwise I would be getting a new ssd anyways upgrading

[brisk jolt]

i could extract the 1tb from my laptop

[merry stirrup]

4 dimm?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

not that bad

[pure garnet]

i kinda wanna just get a ddr4 platform to mess with so im debating my options rn

That's different from a defrag though, that's for running TRIM

windows won't even let you defrag an ssd i don't think

[ancient belfry]

thinking of buying this prebuilt as it’s my first pc and kind of just want a plug and play but if i would save a significant amount “building” a pc i will do it, what do you guys think of this 2799$ AUD so about $2000 USD

[brisk jolt]

sounds about right

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt how do you remove a serptine belt on a transverse engine

[cosmic gazelle]

this is in usd

[brisk jolt]

hes aussie

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m aware

just a comparison point

weird config

as much vram as ram

[fervent chasm]

Don’t you just love it when manufacturers hide the radiation patterns in places that you can’t find for their products

Took me a bit to get to this because the TP link website doesn’t offer it

And the way to get to it is also broken

[green marsh]

i will never understand how could apple design such a horrible update experience. "Preparing update" - my phone charged from 20 to 40% while it was doing that, and it still didn't finish

[reef lance]

Can somoene explain something to me. I changed my BIOS to an EVGA XOC BIOS awhile back. That means at minimum my fan speeds run at 30%. At "30%" my fan speed is 1100RPM. If 1100RPM is 30%, that means 100% is ~3667RPM. EZPZ. Okay, so I set my fan speed to 100%. Well when you do that my fan speed is 3000RPM. 30% of 3000RPM is 900. I paid the math budget, and the math ain't mathin'.

[brisk jolt]

probably a bios and physical fan thing

idk if urs is the same card model

[reef lance]

Yeah probably something like that. I might switch back to the normal BIOS, if I do (or if I flip the switch to one of the other two BIOS's already loaded onto the card) I'll see if it does the same thing. This is the correct XOC BIOS for this card, that much I know for sure.

Yeah I just assume it's just a weird GPU/Fan thing.

[brisk jolt]

my guess is that vbios 30% is 1100rpm but you’re limited to 3000rpm 100% bcs thats ur card physical fan limit

[scarlet arch]

that's normal I think
I think it's similar for me and I'm on fabric BIOS

[reef lance]

Yeah, like Setsuna said I'm pretty sure it probably just is a physical fan speed or something. The only reason I even tested this was because for some reason after setting a custom fan curve with MSI Afterburner HWINFO64 likes to report the wrong fan speed percentage. It gets the RPM number right, but not the percentage.

I was just trying to figure out what RPM = what percent

GPU-Z reports it fine, though

[scarlet arch]

physical limit, yes

[reef lance]

(Both of them)

[brisk jolt]

my listening ability leaving my ears as I blast my 4070 cnc fan at 5300rpm:

[scarlet arch]

A? You said something?

[reef lance]

I always wear a headset and currently my PC is a ~10 feet or so away from me so it doesn't bother me. During the summer I also have a window AC running, so it especially doesn't bother me then. Maybe someday I'll want noise optimized fan curves, but that day isn't soon.

I'd rather have cooler temperatures, too.

I'm so used to running fans to cool myself down in my room it really doesn't bother me like some people. Whining noises maybe, but regular fan noises? Not so much.

It's kind of nice having the background noise.

[scarlet arch]

In a way, yea

[clear juniper]

Yall think its a good idea to trade a 9070xt for a 4080S fe

[scarlet arch]

Look at the specs and do a comparison of benchmarks

But If I had to guess, I think yea

[brisk jolt]

yes

[reef lance]

Damn. Intel is miles ahead of Nvidia in graphics development. Can't believe they managed to fit 48gb of VRAM on this small chip. Truly revolutionary. Miles ahead of the competition /s

[livid flame]

Can’t tell if rage bait or not

[sharp heart]

there is a teeny tiny /s behind the message

[placid blaze]

Yeah the loudest part of my computer is my GPU

[brisk jolt]

the loudest part of my computer are my iems

[placid blaze]

Before I swapped in all noctuas I had it packed with phanteks fans and they were insanely loud which is unfortunate because they look cool and are reasonably priced

[devout ridge]

loudest part of my computer is the coil whine on my GPU

[placid blaze]

Coil whine isn't a huge issue but also I have my PC under my desk, however, PNY does use some pretty loud fans when they're blasting at full tilt

[devout ridge]

I have a 4080S FE so it's near silent unless under some major load

and even then it's barely audible

[livid flame]

The loudest part of my computer is my RGB

[ivory aspen]

the loudest part of my pc is the speakers🗿

[devout oxide]

prolly my stock intel cooler

[placid blaze]

Bought a 1080Ti at launch and didn't upgrade until the 4070 Ti Super

[devout ridge]

If i'm using my PC without audio playing, the real loudest thing is my tinnitus

[placid blaze]

Legendary card, nvidia will never make that mistake again

[brisk jolt]

ah you the 9950x3d 4070TiS guy

[brisk jolt]

they kind did with the 4090 tbb

[placid blaze]

Yeah, the 4070TiS is like 97% of a 4080 which is good enough for $200 cheaper than a 4080

[placid blaze]

The 1080Ti was 800 bucks and the 4090 very much wasn't

[devout ridge]

4080 doesn't really make sense ever since the 4080S came out

the 4080S is essentially just a slightly better 4080 for less money

[placid blaze]

Yeah but if the performance gains are less than 25% then the difference is marginal to me

[devout ridge]

I strongly disagree, but to each their own

[brisk jolt]

to be fair the 4090 quite literally runs laps around and adjust for inflation

look at the relevance today its still the 2nd top dog for consumers

it quite literally also smoked the 3090

[devout ridge]

The biggest thing is are we talking the difference in 40fps vs 60fps, or is it 180fps vs 240

[smoky orbit]

I would hope so

[placid blaze]

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely buy a 4090 but a non-scam price for one these days is still like 2.5k

[devout ridge]

Because 40 to 60 is gonna feel like a massive jump, whereas 180 to 240 is pretty negligible

[brisk jolt]

you were talking about msrp pricing so naturally I did the same

[devout ridge]

I went from a 165hz monitor to a 240hz monitor, and in games that i get more than 240fps in, i still don't feel a difference in gameplay

if i stop and try to notice it, i can, but it's not something i naturally notice while just enjoying the game

The absolute difference is also quite relevant, not just the relative difference

[brisk jolt]

i accidentally tried 165 from 360 and it felt like shit

but that was valorant

[devout ridge]

Granted i never play FPS games, or really anything super fast paced, so i really don't notice it much

[brisk jolt]

it doesnt speak the whole picture

[devout ridge]

I play mostly singleplayer RPG and sandbox games

[brisk jolt]

now im on the 240hz and it feels great and I appreciate the 4K goodness

[placid blaze]

Yeah but if I'm doing an upgrade I'm not doing it unless I can get a 25% uplift, and I'm not getting that without spending at least a couple grand on a GPU

[devout ridge]

i didn't get a new monitor for the higher refresh rate, i got it for the upgrade to 4k QD-OLED, the 240hz was just a pleasant bonus

[devout ridge]

Oh yeah 100% you shouldn't upgrade unless it's a big difference

[brisk jolt]

that qdoled deal was so killer

[devout ridge]

650usd for a 4k 240hz QD-OLED is wild

at one point it was like 500USD, but i missed that deal

[livid flame]

Jensen did make that mistake again and he even told you the more you buy the more you save. 4090 and 5090 gonna outlive many cards

[brisk jolt]

my man, that same QDoled costs me like 200 SGD less than the XG so I went for it

[placid blaze]

Man who wants to make more money tells people they should spend more money

[brisk jolt]

But that difference I’d say is worth for the WOLED

[brisk jolt]

the 4090 and 5090 are gonna sink in the same boat

[livid flame]

And if you spent more money and bought a 4090 instead of a 4080 you were laughing

[placid blaze]

I'm quite comfortable in the upper end of the mid range right now

[livid flame]

What’s the upper end of mid range?

[brisk jolt]

the 4070TiS is incredible value, I considered one and the only friend with balls did indeed get one

[livid flame]

5070ti/5080?

[brisk jolt]

yes

[placid blaze]

Basically anything from the past few years with 16GB of VRAM tbh

[brisk jolt]

basically the 4070TiS or 9070XT onward is high midrange

[livid flame]

Well I got a 7800xt with 16gb vram. I’d not consider that upper end of mid range

[brisk jolt]

I’d say 60Ti/60XT and 70 are midrange

for the 60Ti and XT i only consider the 16GBs

8GBs and the basic 60 class are just low end

[placid blaze]

GN called the 4080 the "4070 Ti Super Duper" and the 5080 is like a 12% uplift over the 4080 at best?

[brisk jolt]

yeah its a 4070 Ti Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan

[livid flame]

The 5080 is the 5070 super duper. The 5070ti is the 5070 super.

[green marsh]

5070 doesn't belong to the 5000 series at all, i have no idea what were they thinking when they made that GPU

[livid flame]

One of these days someone will investigate GN and it’s gonna be one incredible fall from grace.

[green marsh]

5060 Ti 16GB
5070 12GB
5070 Ti 16GB

Like why

[livid flame]

More price points. More sales.

Nvidia are extremely good at market penetration

[devout ridge]

Cracked 19k

[smoky orbit]

Gn?

[livid flame]

Gamers Nexus

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh okii

[livid flame]

I find it uncanny he’s the only big tech channel with a team that are never or rarely spotted on camera and say very very little when they are. I also find it very do as I say, not as I do when he pulls out company financials to poke at but will not voluntarily show his own.

He also loves playing victim so yknow. There’s skeletons for someone to pull out somewhere. Probably be a Bloomberg news piece

[wraith steeple]

He also has a massive Icarus complex

[fringe vigil]

Jayson deruloo

[livid flame]

Just see he uploaded a new video which looks like AMD will no longer work with him

There’s no surprise really. You can’t cry about it when you’re muddying the name of someone you want to work with. If he doesn’t like them he should choose not to work with them but instead he waits for them to do it to him to play victim and get a video out of it

So that’s Nvidia and AMD that won’t give him freebies.

Alongside his choice not to use ASUS

Oh and to be fair he won’t use NZXT either

[frank zealot]

for what?
Steve being an ass on camera?

[frank zealot]

LAst I knew his entire "team" was like 3 or 4 people

[brave panther]

It is not freebies

It is a sample

[frank zealot]

GN makes enough money that buying the parts isn't an issue for their budget.

The biggest hit is that they won't get "advanced" items so they can do launch-day reviews.

[slim pebble]

@topaz veldt we might need to skip the X3D2. In productivity it’s a gain of a couple of points. In gaming it’s either the same or usually worse by a couple of points.

[topaz veldt]

[wraith steeple]

[slim pebble]

It does kind of meh in specifically games that I like. BG3, Battlefield, Cyberpunk. Oof.

[livid flame]

We already knew this ahead of the launch due to increased latency.

IIRC AMD have come out and said the latency will penalise on Zen 6, however they’re positive Zen 7 will improve

This CPU is basically to appeal to those who just want the latest thing and AMD invested in time and money into it. Make a limited amount, sell it, job done.

what if I have a PS5 pro?

[livid flame]

I love how WD have that marketing. Same drive, add a PS5 logo and then add a few extra dollars

[slim pebble]

Save $900 for Nova Lake 😛

[young void]

I snagged a p3 i think 4tb a year or so ago for my basic disc edition back when it was 240

[livid flame]

In fact the 1tb WD SN850x I got for my father in law was £40 cheaper than the same “for PS5” version

[late atlas]

That's crazy

You could actually buy a 5080 with that

But that's for the ps5

The ps5 1 tb expansion slot was already like £230+

Before the shortage

So I'm not surprised it's that much now

[livid flame]

SN850x for £110 is what I put in my father in laws

[young void]

Since ive gotten my lady her laptop she hasn't touched the consoles, now would be the time to sell them

[steel stream]

it's so worth it though wdym

@trim agate a home server IS tempting for jellyfin but I need to upscale some 1080p content to 4K, now here I can consider getting topaz AI, but problem is it needs alotta GPU power and a lot of time

[steel stream]

with a streaming box/built in OS I am guessing?

ur still gonna just grab one for lols regardless

[livid flame]

Under clocking ram is the new meta

[brisk jolt]

according to my calculations if I were to use topaz I’d need to make my room a sauna for 30 hours

[steel stream]

[brisk jolt]

70mins x 12 eps xd

[pure garnet]

i mean i daily under clocked ram so yeah

[steel stream]

the meta is jedec

[livid flame]

Ddr5 3600 is what we need

[young void]

Oh we going back to tight

[slim pebble]

What’s your take on it?

[topaz veldt]

So here's my take - I ran Cinebench 2026 and got 10,435 on my daily driver 280mm AIO SFF 9950X3D. Compared to HUBs 10,012. So i have a 4.2% increase over HUBs baseline on 9950X3D. If 9950X3D2 can get 4.0-4.2% increase over HUBs stock findings with PBO/CO, then we'd be looking at 10,850 - 10,900 points in 2026 which yeah still not a good percentage increase for the $ but its a smidge better.

If its 10,850 in 2026 w/ PBO/CO then its an almost 8.4% performance increase over a stock 9950X3D

Also like I said this 10,435 score is from an SFF compact build with average thermals

[livid flame]

It’s all about real world testing baby

How did the X3D2 do in productivity? More or less the same as the 1?

[topaz veldt]

In a nut shell @slim pebble no one should run out and buy one... but

[brisk jolt]

everyone if planning to nab one should walk, whilst you fly at the speed of light

[livid flame]

If you’re dropping $900 (probably be $1000 once it retails) on a CPU and you haven’t got a 5090. You need to re-evaluate your setup choices.

If you have a 5090, crack on

[brisk jolt]

yeah im not grabbing one for the 5090 im grabbing one for the one and only, almighty b580

all jokes aside 5nail will be walking out of mc with such immense aura having the 9950x3d2 dual edition in his hands

[topaz veldt]

Well really the 9950X3D2 has no correlation to GPU what so ever - its inherit performance benefits is in compilation and such

[topaz veldt]

I would expect most setups will have a 9950X3D2 and more basic video card

[livid flame]

It will be made in a limited amount. First dual CCD large L3 cache processor. Will be a little piece of CPU history to own

[young void]

Benchs from the other day for cine bottom is stock, tops enh 1 (90)

[livid flame]

It’s more so the financial aspect of owning such a CPU

[topaz veldt]

Don't worry about peoples finances

[livid flame]

I mean I guess you can let someone off using a 5080 with one

[brisk jolt]

9950X3D2 dual edition and the basic display adapter 4090

[topaz veldt]

I would say most linux users compiling on dual X3D CCDs may not even have monitors

[livid flame]

9950x3d2 and 1660 meta setup

[young void]

Usually unplugged unless not able to shell

[topaz veldt]

We picked up EPYC X3D SKUs for certain functions in the datacenter which, of course, have no GPU

[young void]

Cpu only builds especially for AI are around

[livid flame]

That is true

[young void]

Well AI/algos/processing of sorts

[livid flame]

Does the extra cache benefit anything though? I haven’t seen any reviews

[young void]

Not as much as id hoped tbh but time will tell

[livid flame]

I feel like 1CCD with larger cache would perform better but again. AMD have said Zen7 IPC dual cache will work better

[smoky orbit]

Linux compiling, (well, any sort of compiling will greatly benefit from the extra cache)

[slim pebble]

I have two hobbies in my old age, five nights a week at the gym and PC junk 🤣

[young void]

I snagged the 9950x for 410, 9950x3d for 529, ill probs aim for 600-650ish tbh

[devout ridge]

zen7? we ain’t even got zen6 yet

[young void]

In about 3-4 months unless nova and medusas are close then

In wich ill probs just wait idk

[livid flame]

Sorry I meant zen6 iroh

IIRC they’re aiming for 288mb l3 cache

2nm and all. Hoping their promised gains are there

[placid blaze]

I only have a 9950X3D because it's probably the last CPU I'll be buying on this socket

Not a dig at the performance, but I won't be looking to upgrade for a long while

[livid flame]

Will be interesting to see v Intel as they’re also aiming for 288mb level 3 cache on 2nm

Latency of 2 CCDs v latency of tile design battle

[topaz veldt]

I personally think the 9950X3D2 is a test for high TDP/PPT Zen6

[livid flame]

Its definitely more of an experiment than an out and out flagship design

[topaz veldt]

Its not an experiment for AMD

its an experiment for the consumer mobos

[livid flame]

If it sells like hot cakes, it’s worked.

[young void]

Does handle more watts

[topaz veldt]

It will not sell like hot cakes

[devout ridge]

easy way to have widespread testing under lots of circumstances

[livid flame]

I do wonder how many chips they’ve actually made

[young void]

They priced it to go on sale near black friday/christmas fs

[devout ridge]

no way to know

[brisk jolt]

thats pretty cold for something called “hotcakes”

[devout ridge]

we almost never get figures like that

[steel stream]

I think they also just wanted to be the first ones with dual 3D cache

[topaz veldt]

well they were though

They had engineering samples of 5800X3D dual CCD

[brisk jolt]

“we just wanted to hand out the dual 3D vcache CCD award to outselves”

[topaz veldt]

Deemed it too expensive to be worthwhile

[livid flame]

I won’t expect Intels design going to dual CCD any time soon

[steel stream]

It kinda is next gen

[topaz veldt]

Intel will be doing bLLC but not in the same manner

[livid flame]

You can just make tiles bigger, you don’t need to bolt them on

[devout ridge]

nowadays people are willing to spend shitloads of money for cpu performance anyways, so amd said “fuckit, if they’ll buy em we’ll release it”

[steel stream]

It’s 2 chiplets that are 8p16e

[placid blaze]

If a 9950X3D doesn't bottleneck a 5090 I fail to see the application for X3D2 in consumer/HEDT

[devout ridge]

there’s also 3d vcache EPYCs with multiple CCDs

[steel stream]

And each chiplet gets bLLC

[livid flame]

Would be interesting to see how Intel would layer given their current cpu design

[steel stream]

Consumer

[topaz veldt]

Has nothing to do with video

[devout ridge]

we’re all consumers if you think about it /s

[topaz veldt]

Anything that is a heavy utilizer of memory bandwidth benefits

Again, not that home users would do this, but go run SAP Hana on a 9950X/9950X3D/9950X3D2 the results are wild

[brisk jolt]

we’re 10 consumers and 5nail is 5 of them

[devout ridge]

if you’re going by expenditure, he’s 8 of them

[topaz veldt]

You can actually get Genoa X3D EPYc pretty cheap now

[livid flame]

Define cheap

[topaz veldt]

Cheaper than a 5090

[livid flame]

So cheap everyone should be running an epyc x3d server then

[brisk jolt]

everyone and their great grandparents do in 2077 wdym

Israel violated it by the first day so

They also violated the one with Iran

But not relevant, atleast much

Celestial Being (ソレスタルビーイング, Soresutarubīingu?) is a paramilitary organization founded by GN technology pioneer and scientist, Aeolia Schenberg, approximately 200 years ago before the storyline of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 under the ideology of ending global conflict using a line of revolutionary mobile weapons known as 'Gundams'. In his lifetime, Aeolia gathered and developed the resources needed to realize his vision, central to which is the creation and use of five fully functional GN Drives

[livid flame]

Israel and America. Fun times.

[civic reef]

Also guess what laptop :3

[cosmic gazelle]

did you settle on that msi or what

[civic reef]

It's a shame
Jews, Muslims, and Christians used to coexist together

[brisk jolt]

multiple serious issues

[civic reef]

I settled on a Legion 5

15IRX10

[cosmic gazelle]

looks like the tegra is theoretically much more powerful in multi core and is just severely power limited

[civic reef]

14700HX, 16GB, 5060, 1600p OLED

[brisk jolt]

we still coexist just that we dont do it peacefully

[livid flame]

Religion is one of those things I don’t really give a shit about. People are people. Some people are assholes. That’s just it really.

[steel stream]

Isn’t MC single core

Generic server

[cosmic gazelle]

no this is kind of a misnomer

[civic reef]

No no what I meant is
All three communities were living in harmony, under the ottoman empire of all places

[cosmic gazelle]

mc will certainly benefit from up to 4 cores

[steel stream]

@turbid locust I’m getting a drug test tomorrow what should I study

[civic reef]

What tore us apart is zionism and British rule

[livid flame]

Relatively yes. However, some assholes just wanna shit all over the place. You get it everywhere.

[civic reef]

And a severe lack of regulation

[turbid locust]

wow new warship word unlocked

[civic reef]

Mhm, fair

[smoky orbit]

Ottoman Empire was actually chill with already conquered territories

[livid flame]

I did not know that one hit it either

[steel stream]

Did you say m3th

[turbid locust]

yeah lmao

[brisk jolt]

coolmathgames

[livid flame]

I said the British D word for the thing ya swing In between ya legs.

[turbid locust]

Thank god this one is safe

[civic reef]

What's the switch PL?

[steel stream]

I’ve been warshipped a few times cause of that one lol

[brisk jolt]

how have you never tried using that word before actually

[cosmic gazelle]

what kind? arch was the only one light enough to leave enough ram for mc to run well lmao

also how well did it run because i could only get nice fps from enabling every performance mod for fabric lol

[civic reef]

... Not really, atleast to specific religious communities

[livid flame]

You have to be methodical

[civic reef]

Have you heard of Habib Basha The Butcher?

[turbid locust]

It’s generally something I don’t talk about

[livid flame]

The UFC fighter?

[steel stream]

I think I just ran generic Ubuntu, Ubuntu ran terribly, but the server ran ok

[brisk jolt]

my past 3 warships have all been that one word

[steel stream]

I don’t believe you

Guys everyone send screenshots of your warship dms

[civic reef]

No but that's hilarious

[livid flame]

You’ll probably need a day or 2 to read mine

I’m just liberally descriptive with swear words and it hates me for it

[cosmic gazelle]

oh a server is much more multi threaded than actually running the game cuz you aren’t rendering anything, I got the actual game to run on the chromebook lol

[civic reef]

Wait no I think I said his name wrong

[smoky orbit]

I meant, in it’s whole hystory, the ottoman empire was chill in general sowwy for da confuzling

[civic reef]

Not Habib Basha

Jamal Basha

[steel stream]

I’m sure I could get the game working but eh

[turbid locust]

Methamphetamine

[cosmic gazelle]

appears to be hard cap of 15w

[steel stream]

Oh nice

[turbid locust]

oh you can say the whole thing

[civic reef]

.. Yyyiiikes

[civic reef]

Oh fair enough

[steel stream]

I thought warship usually checks words like that

If it contains it, usually it gets rid of it

[livid flame]

It’s a simple tool is warship

[steel stream]

Dickandballs

[civic reef]

Yeah tbh the fact that they let three whole religions live together is very surprising

[late atlas]

Ass and sass

[brisk jolt]

@ warship we found the primary suspect

[livid flame]

Let’s all get akn and mac banned for a week

[turbid locust]

Wouldn’t be the first time

[late atlas]

Spam report

[livid flame]

What you get banned for before

[late atlas]

And won't be the last

[steel stream]

Honestly would benefit me, I’ve got finals next week

[livid flame]

@ mod ban request please fulfill

[civic reef]

Not the first time?

[turbid locust]

Calling someone out for being a shithead in TC1 like 2 years ago

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, they “only” had to pay taxes to the empire to be allowed to practice pretty much any religion they wanted

[brisk jolt]

USD 195

[steel stream]

Type the same word in 3 separate messages in a row

[civic reef]

Say the n word and ping Leenus

[late atlas]

Leave a review

[civic reef]

Easy way to get a vacation out of here

[civic reef]

Oh that's cool

[livid flame]

You mean the hard R? Remember how Linus didn’t know what that actually was until like 2025

[brisk jolt]

my manager didnt know what Bentley is

he also asked me what the n word is 💀

[livid flame]

Bentley is a car, right?

[brisk jolt]

yes

[civic reef]

WHAT?? Huh 😭???

[livid flame]

He explained in a WAN show, he thought it meant something else

[steel stream]

Tahded

[livid flame]

Which to be fair, some people do mistake for that

It also makes more sense aswell

[topaz veldt]

this is my non-SFF machine btw for comparison

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, same never really used that word unless it was for ignition timings and other technical related stuff, I only recently learned that it was used as a slur

[young void]

Its a fun lil chip

[topaz veldt]

counterfeit

[cosmic gazelle]

not even ln2, fraud

[topaz veldt]

Hoping 9950X3D2 will see 11,000

[topaz veldt]

Did you try filling it up yet

[livid flame]

The hard R or the word people mistake for the hard R

[steel stream]

Are you going tomorrow to pick one up?

[brisk jolt]

yes

im also gonna grab this for USD 195 as well, its not a gen 4 but primarily going to store media and VMs

[steel stream]

It’s going to blow up

[topaz veldt]

I wish you weren't in Siberia or whatever

I have so many NVMe extra

[brisk jolt]

Singapore

[steel stream]

Same difference

[topaz veldt]

So my SFF 9950X3D started hitting like 90-95% memory utilization running stupid AI shit

so whats the only thing we can do?

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

I think that’s the right answer

[topaz veldt]

it is

The 96GB 6400 CL32 kit I sold like a year ago for $280?

I just rebought one for a lot more

[steel stream]

Big money moves

[topaz veldt]

I might write this one off under 5nail5 Enterprises

because its dumb

but then I gotta itemize shit... so I prob will not

[steel stream]

Man’s worst enemy, paperwork

[cosmic gazelle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN8Z7bCGgjE

title is not particularly promising

[smoky orbit]

Women’s worst enemy too tbh, hate paperwork

[topaz veldt]

It should be no surprise

So first I was focused on the foregroundand then I started focusing on wtf the background

[turbid locust]

Was anyone expecting otherwise?

They literally admitted dual vcache CCD wasn’t worth it back in Zen 3 times

That’s why there was no 16 core vcache SKU on AM4

AMD is now just in the “damn, these mfs will buy anything” stage

[steel stream]

AMDrones fr fr

[turbid locust]

fr fr fr

I totally don’t have multiple am5 CPU’s sitting on my desk

[cosmic gazelle]

🤷‍♂️ i just figured there was a decent amount of anticipation, I don't know enough to have predicted whether it'd be worth it or not lol

[turbid locust]

It’s basically only worth it in extremely niche situations

The cross CCD latency basically negates any meaningful performance uplift for games

[pure garnet]

@steel stream my campus uses oled tvs to show orders for chic fil a

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs-enough-to-make-a-grown-man-cry-police-officer-make-a-man-cry-gif-15227532

Also that’s insane and impractical

[smoky orbit]

Not surprised, these mfs could use them to display a still image of the school’s logo and see no issue

[pure garnet]

yeah but the blacks look sick

[turbid locust]

akn who was in Paris

[steel stream]

They probably just bought digital signage displays and they happened to be oled

[steel stream]

Sir I am Caucasian

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

But nice fellas

[turbid locust]

I don’t think there’s a single human on the planet that is good at DNS

[young void]

Oh jeez

[muted matrix]

its also a very loaded question lol

i have a powerful but SIMPLE dns solution i use 100% gated by opnsense

[pure garnet]

dns is useless just memorize ip addresses

[young void]

I cant even read, just a hotdog surviving in the wild

[steel stream]

Is that Diddy

Get him to the greek

[civic reef]

So.. AMD is in their Intel 14nm phase?

[steel stream]

No not really

[shell void]

i would’ve bought this if it was available on day one, but it’s not enticing when my 9800X3D is a year and a half old

[neat mountain]

not really
amd still uses better chips
just
uhh
cheaper or binned down or lower specced ones

[pure garnet]

amd can’t have a 14nm era because they don’t manufacture chips

[shell void]

gotta watch derbauer first as is the protocol

[frank zealot]

a cert for www.domain.com is a separate cert from domain.com is a separate cert from dipshits.domain.com

you should configure it to force users who go to domain.co.uk to redirect to www.domain.co.uk instead

[shell void]

🥀

AMD has disappointed me hundreds of times at this point so idk why i expect anything different

[civic reef]

Oh
Fair

[steel stream]

The crystal ball strikes again

[pure garnet]

akn i found more oleds

[brisk jolt]

so like i guess my pc just doesnt want to deal with valorant

[pure garnet]

they’re above the trash cans and there’s a computer using ocr to tell people which bin to throw stuff in

i ignored the robot because like an old person i don’t listen to computers

[shell void]

in times like this i wish my ball wasnt so infallible

[steel stream]

Damn your school is balling

[pure garnet]

today was last day i’m wandering campus as a student

[wraith steeple]

Damn.... Welp it was nice to see AMD be competitive with Intel during their Zen 2 and 3 days. Felt like a flashback to the late 90s - early 2000s with Pentium III vs K7 Athlon back when they raced to reached 1GHz.... Oh well it was nice whilst it lasted

[steel stream]

heavy is the hand that holds the unwavering crystal ball

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

take it all in

[shell void]

hopefully AMD is more sane and aggressive with Zen 6 pricing because the Core Ultra 495DX will have them bent over pat gelsinger's knee

[wraith steeple]

It is also funny to see Radeon still having driver issues like their ATI pre-radeon ancestors did

Nothing ever changes

[shell void]

i cant in good faith clown Radeon for bad drivers when RTX 5000 was barely usable for five months after launch

at least the 9070XT worked on day one.. albeit it's not an exciting product when it's arguably worse than the RTX 4000 series

[steel stream]

yeah I don't talk smack about drivers currently cause nvidia was bad for a bit

[wraith steeple]

FWIW, I've been using my 285K/9070 XT rig the most as of late

[civic reef]

:<

Guess I need to stick to the other store that does 30% downpayments

Oh well, a 5050 laptop shouldn't be a big issue I guess

wow, game pass pricing is going down from 30/month to 23/month, but new CoD games aren't coming to gamepass

[wraith steeple]

Though ATi drivers were comically bad in terms of how broken their Windows drivers were. Windows 9X especially with their Rage cards

[cyan canopy]

Wait what?

[frail beacon]

Does gamepass have regional pricing?

[steel stream]

L'chaim!

[steel stream]

[steel stream]

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-21/xbox-cuts-game-pass-price-will-no-longer-include-new-call-of-duty

[frail beacon]

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. PC Game Pass will also drop from $16.49 to $13.99 a month. Prices may vary by region.

Beginning this year, future Call of Duty titles won’t join Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch. New Call of Duty games will be added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass during the following holiday season (about a year later), while existing Call of Duty titles already in the library will continue to be available.

Yes they have regional pricing
