[civic reef]

Haiii!!!!! Hruuuu x33

[smoky orbit]

That’s fine (very upgrade proof gpu x3

[civic reef]

It's an 8GB though, so,,,,,

[smoky orbit]

Am goody, u?

[civic reef]

That's great to hear!!

[smoky orbit]

Ohh oof, a 7600xt might be a better choice (if there’s one near for that price)

[civic reef]

-Althouuuugh
FP8, so pretty much 960-1080p render res anyway on titles that need it :3

[smoky orbit]

Ohh das goody

[civic reef]

Good luck finding RX 7000 here LOL

[smoky orbit]

Really? Damn qwq

[civic reef]

There was one RX 7600m XT like a year ago but that's it

[smoky orbit]

Oof

[civic reef]

Wait no
7900 XT, 825 though LOL

But RX 90 is common thankfully!!

[teal kite]

Scared in the future CPUs will have shouldered ram on the chip… similar to Apples chips

[smoky orbit]

[smoky orbit]

But it’s much more expensive than 70 or 60 series (I would assume)

[smoky orbit]

I hope it won’t tbh qwq

[civic reef]

Errr
Lemme check

9060 XT 8GB, $380

(Cheaper than 5060)

[smoky orbit]

Oh, not that bad

[civic reef]

9070 Standard, $585, almost 1:1 with a 5070

[devout ridge]

is it possible to send a keystroke through IPMI without using the remote console

[civic reef]

9070 XT, $678, $400-500 cheaper than a 5070

[devout ridge]

java refuses to launch the IPMI remote console, but i literally just need to click f1 on the machine

(not physically at the machine)

[shell void]

it’s fine you don’t want that ewaste anyway

it makes no sense to buy RX 7000 in 2026+ knowing that AMD abandoned it

[civic reef]

Yep
No FSR 4 even

And I don't want to buy Radeon anyway tbh

[smoky orbit]

I don’t think so

[devout ridge]

RAH!

[smoky orbit]

Intel is a good option (if they are available in your area)

[civic reef]

Noooope, unfortunately

But shipping isn't too expensive I don't think

I could buy a B580 for the same price as a 5050

[smoky orbit]

Wait, that’s actually a good price

[civic reef]

And Intel XeSS iirc is around the same power, or better than FSR in some degrees?

Plus I want to support Intel's VGA division

[shell void]

i’d rather have a 5050 or used 4060 instead of a B580 if it was my daily driver, and i own a B580 xD

[shell void]

no not anymore

[civic reef]

Aw

[civic reef]

What about for 1440p?

[smoky orbit]

Trust me, a 5050 is bad (the 9gb rumoured might be worth it over the 8gb)

[shell void]

it was arguable before FSR4, but FSR4 and FSR4.1 are better upscalers than XESS2.1

(XESS3 is just MFG as far as i know)

[civic reef]

The 9gb uses a 96-bit bus ❤️

1050 Ti has 128-bit btw ❤️

[shell void]

it’s just a 4060 with better display and media engines dude it’s not that bad

it’s a better GPU than a B580 unless you actually need 12GB

[smoky orbit]

Yeah but it’s on 3 chips instead of 2, if I remember correctly, the math mathed out to be equivalent or better than the 8gb somewhat

[civic reef]

1440p kinda wants the 12GB I'd imagine

Since I am playing on 1440p

[shell void]

it’s fine in most cases

the option of DLSS will be more valuable than more vram on a low end card

[teal kite]

Would you like the 12800x3d with 64gb of ram or 128gb of ram ;-;

[civic reef]

Wawa
Okay ig $280 4060 Ti 8GB it is

[smoky orbit]

I would prefer if they used lpcamm2 instead of the ram being on the cpu

[civic reef]

If only Intel released the B770

[teal kite]

But the latency would be insane ngl… but yea

[shell void]

you’re not shopping in that price range anyway

[smoky orbit]

Compared to being on the cpu yeah, but compared to ddr4/ddr5 it’s not that bad

[small gate]

@smoky orbit actually forget yesterday about what i asked, i managed to get into the blackberry browser and am on google right now accessing different sites

[civic reef]

I was willing to put $460 down for a 3090

Depending on what the B770 was gonna cost, my trolley is probably around that area

[smoky orbit]

While using the blackberry in stock form?

[small gate]

yeah

it's actually functioning perfectly

[civic reef]

Btw how does the Battlemage fare? In terms of drivers and compatability I mean

[smoky orbit]

maybe they’ll make a C770 (I hope they make one if they don’t make a B770)

[minor herald]

I LOVE INTEL GPU NAMGIN

[small gate]

i've got no clue how it runs but it's working

[civic reef]

Technically we have the professional B770.. Just waiting for the consumer one!!

Also I'd probably just buy the C570/80

[smoky orbit]

It’s better than Nvidia’s and amd’s naming

[smoky orbit]

Ohh wait, twue

[minor herald]

anything is better then amd naming

[shell void]

to be honest with you i’ve only ever used it as a HDMI and Quicksync card in my Jellyfin server, but it does that fine

[civic reef]

Hopefully by then Intel steps their game up properly and release XeSS that's actually better than FSR like it used to be for a very little while

[civic reef]

Oh fair enough

[shell void]

the current rumor is that there will never be a B770, and there will be no C-series cards at all

D-series is up in the air

but basically no new consumer dGPUs from intel until 2028+

profit margins were already horrendous on them before the ai craze constrained vram and fab capacity

[civic reef]

.. Fair :<

[brisk jolt]

rip celestial

[civic reef]

Meh, ig it'll probably within the realm of used 4060 Ti to used 3090 for me ig

[brisk jolt]

looks like ill definitely be getting a D series card

[shell void]

there will be Celestial workstation cards but not low margin gamerslop

[brisk jolt]

means I can focus solely on 60 series

[shell void]

it’s okay brother you can make that nova lake APU mini PC with a Celestial iGPU

[civic reef]

Imagine though lmao

Unfortunately we're still on Battlemage in terms of iGPUs though

[shell void]

there is a rumor of there being a Nova Lake + Celestial APU that can socket into Intel’s next gen platform

[civic reef]

I am buying it
No questions asked

It's becoming my property

[civic reef]

Wait
4+8+4+12

4P, 8E, 4LP, 12LP-E?

[smoky orbit]

Lp And lp-e?

[shell void]

4p 8e 4lpe 12Xe3p
It’s the same core configuration as the Panther Lake X9 388H, but it’s Nova Lake architectures instead

[civic reef]

Intel new even lower power core types, I don't remember if they're called EXACTLY LP & LP-E

[civic reef]

Xe3P?
One second I am googling it

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhhh okiii

[shell void]

Xe3p is what would’ve been used in Arc Celestial graphics cards, it’s one generation newer than Panther Lake’s Xe3, and two generations newer than the Arc B580

[civic reef]

Oh GPU core architecture

Yeah I saw on TPU

[civic reef]

So we're eating good I assume

[shell void]

well it’s a premium low power APU so i’m not sure how relevant it’ll be for most desktop people, but it’ll be an interesting product

[smoky orbit]

They might keep the celestial name for the next consumer dgpus instead of jumping straight to the d name (no idea what it is)

[shell void]

the D generation has been called Xe4 Druid in past intel roadmaps

@steel stream we will not survive to see Season 5

[brisk jolt]

[gentle urchin]

4 core cpu

[brisk jolt]

if theres bllc on it, it genuinely might be a champ apu for esport titles

[shell void]

there is not

[brisk jolt]

i’d still grab it regardless

[shell void]

i’d like to make a tiny pc with one

XD

[frank zealot]

.... if someone named "Didius" said they didn't like me, I'm not sure I'd be all that upset...

[frank zealot]

that could be a REALLY interesting desktop apu

that level of APU Power could be supremely baller for a Docker or Plex/Jellyfin type setup

[topaz veldt]

I did it guys - I think I drew the short straw 3 times with these 9950X3D2s

[frank zealot]

is it worse than your non-X3D2's?

[topaz veldt]

yup

[shell void]

supremely overkill but fun

[shell void]

seems like the first batch of 9850X3Ds got all the good memory controllers

[topaz veldt]

so weird

[civic reef]

It'll most definitely be relevant for me

ITX-sized (but mATX Board) APU-powered PC

[sharp heart]

worst case scenario would be complete axing of celestial, so even workstation is fine oh fine for me

just nuking it entirely would make me

[brisk jolt]

oh man they cheaped out on the superglue again

[shell void]

if you want a big intel gpu for work then this is the most exciting news

[brisk jolt]

honestly as much as I’d like to reuse my fatass assassin 4 VC for it, its likely that the C5 CU would tank it

[sharp heart]

data center gpu? i cant even data woman

oh its actually Xe3P

i do wonder, is it the horrendous DRAM prices or what would cause intel to skip xe3p for consumer

[shell void]

it would probably be impossible for them to make any money now that dram and fab capacity cost much more

[steel stream]

not enough of an uplift from battlemage

[shell void]

their profit margins were already basically zero beforehand

[steel stream]

this shit is insane

[sharp heart]

so now we are hoping dram prices drop and Xe4 is good enough for a new skew of cards?

[steel stream]

i suppose so

[frank zealot]

https://frame.work/products/framework-wireless-touchpad-keyboard

I just put in a notification watch for this. I want to grab a few for work.

If it's better than the K400, I'm sold.

[topaz veldt]

I think I might actually return one of these CPUs

[shell void]

i’m guessing it can’t do 6400 or 8000

[topaz veldt]

nope

[edgy laurel]

neat

[frank zealot]

did you see the thing about making custom 3d printed circuits with a 3d printer and copper leaf?

[civic reef]

Yeah lmao

[frank zealot]

and it working on custom keypad type setups

[civic reef]

This is supposedly the low power APU though

[shell void]

https://tenor.com/view/dumping-trash-daniel-labelle-frustrated-garbage-trash-gif-27186872

i say as i run 6000 anyway

[frank zealot]

this is really REALLY neat. Making a fully 3d printed custom keyboar keypad would be pretty awesome

one of the best reasons I saw for this:

You could custom iterate multiple revisions in a single day on your own, before sending it to someone to print on a proper PCB, and you'd know it's almost guaranteed to be correct at that point.

instead of waiting days for a new pcb print after you realize "shit I need to change something"

huh, not bad.
If anyone needs a cheap speaker set on their PC, this would be far from a bad pickup:
https://computers.woot.com/offers/logitech-z313-2-1-multimedia-speaker-system-with-subwoofer?

[steel stream]

yeah for $30 not bad

[frank zealot]

they're not gonna be earth-shattering, but at the pricetag, they're gonna be pretty solid choices

hmmmmm
5060 TI 8GB + Free Rosewill 750W Gold PSU - 380$
https://www.newegg.com/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-8gb-twin-edge-oc-graphics-card-air-cooler/p/N82E16814500638

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That's.... That's honestly not a bad price, assuming the PSU isn't hand-grenade tier

[hoary hatch]

What I've learned is I need to dig my old logi out of deep storage to remind myself why everyone hates it so much

[frank zealot]

If you use it for 60 seconds at a time? it's fine.

I use it to pick the next show on netflix / crunchyroll on my HTPC.

If you want to do anything past that? it's horrid as an interface

[hoary hatch]

I don't remember if I got the K83 wireless because I hated the logi or because I was able to get it for 50% off...

[shell void]

it’s rosewill so it probably is

[steel stream]

just sell it on FBM to someone unsuspecting

[frank zealot]

VMG 750 = B tier

So... I'd have zero issue reccing that deal

you'd normally drop at least 60 bucks on a 750W PSU, so that means that GPU's actually a good price

.... the 12V 2x6 cable is a 600W cable, which I wouldn't trust on a 750W in general, but that's beside the point.

[young void]

Couldn't hurt any, save the extra few hundred on next gens ram or mobo

[shell void]

90 bucks for an A-Tier 850W MSI MPG PSU:
https://slickdeals.net/f/19460646-msi-mpg-a850gs-pcie5-850w-80-gold-fully-modular-psu-atx-3-1-pcie-5-1-10yr-warranty-90

[young void]

Im rocking the 1250 version rn, I dont love how many pcie slots it comes with but suffices (ended up just using the 12vpwr)

But a solid unit all around

[clear juniper]

9070xt pulled 482w of power lmfao

[shell void]

go for 600

[clear juniper]

Max is 525w lmao

I have 3 8pin and pcie

[shell void]

idk sounds like cowardice to me

[clear juniper]

[steel stream]

with 3 8 pin you can def hit 600

https://videocardz.com/newz/microsoft-adds-power-display-to-powertoys-must-have-for-mulit-monitor-users

[clear juniper]

Id like for this not to melt lmao 480w was on accident lol

[smoky orbit]

You should be fine, just point a fan towards the connectors

[pure garnet]

175w an 8 pin? that’s not enough out of spec to even worry about it

[turbid locust]

when in doubt, thug it out

[steel stream]

real

[frank zealot]

if EPS can do 300W on an 8 pin
PCIE can do 200W on an 8 pin lol

[hoary hatch]

https://computers.woot.com/offers/corsair-vengeance-32gb-ddr5-6000-memory-3
I guess this is a deal now?

[frank zealot]

that is actually a deal now. 270 bucks for 32GB is actually reasonable.

(sigh I hate the AI bullshit world)

[hoary hatch]

Still too much for me to just buy a spare kit

[pure garnet]

270 for micron is robbery but somehow a deal

[frank zealot]

270 for 32GB is robbery regardless, unless it's like 8800+ CUDIMM stuff

[smoky orbit]

Or fully buffered ecc dimms

[frank zealot]

server/workstation stuff doesn't count. that's not really "consumer" grade

[smoky orbit]

Didn’t know we were talking about “consumer” grade woupsies

[pure garnet]

a good rule of thumb is nobody cares about enterprise only gear unless they bring it up

[frank zealot]

nobody normally is buying enterprise grade shit for their houses, unless they're doing something very edge case and specific

[smoky orbit]

Really? Damn people are boring

[shell void]

i love bringing up my beloved Xeon 7 Diamond Rapids

and 12800MT/s MRDIMMs

[hoary hatch]

Every time you mention diamond rapids it gets delayed by another quarter

[turbid locust]

truth nuke

[brisk jolt]

fuck me why am I teaching my guy how to do cisco when HE HAS THE LABSHEET IN FRONT OF HIM

[hoary hatch]

So like

[brisk jolt]

he cant read

[shell void]

that’s okay i’m never buying it anyway

[hoary hatch]

I want Arctic wolf e cores tomorrow

[shell void]

i just like knowing that it exists

[steel stream]

my targeted ads on the Edge homepage are now all watches for me

[turbid locust]

yeah same happened with my Instagram. I had only searched shit in incognito tabs previously too.

It’s all bullshit man

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-the-tick-thumbs-up-tin-foil-hat-grin-gif-14827450

damn someone is blazing up rn

11 AM and finals week, must be a business major

[pure garnet]

the only people using registered ecc are ewaste collectors or companies

i must burn 900w to have a sandy bridge era server accomplish what an rpi can

[smoky orbit]

Indeed, but it’s still a nice technology (if someone is really into it they could use them for their home servers)

[steel stream]

saving money on your electricity bill is for chumps

[pure garnet]

fr

you need to blow a 8kwh idling on 20 year old enterprise gear

[steel stream]

so worth it

[green marsh]

friend who has a computer store just shown a picture of a customer RMA. My question is... HOW ?

[steel stream]

my 12700k system just isn't power hungry enough

[turbid locust]

I can’t wait for this bullshit to be over

many of our employees are students and they’re like wahhhh finals and I’m like bruh

[smoky orbit]

Really fucking *dumb customer is your answer

*dumb

[frank zealot]

never underestimate the capability of dumb people to be duuuuuuumb

[steel stream]

I took the whole week off of work lol

[turbid locust]

yeah you and everyone else

[green marsh]

no, but seriously, how. That hole is so small, and there is really no way to push the connector in any other way, so how did he manage that

[turbid locust]

like dude no I cannot give you the entire week off so you can take 4 hours of tests on Thursday

[fringe vigil]

Just saw the Micheal movie

[turbid locust]

if you feel like you need to do 72hrs of cramming you already failed big bro

[smoky orbit]

Tried to insert the connector at a really fucking steep angle

[steel stream]

I work on campus though so they kind of expect it

technically I don't have to take my final today, I would just have a 1.0 though

sitting at a 60.3 out of 100 💪

[pure garnet]

i thought you needed a c

[turbid locust]

tbf a lot of em are working with us and coordinating with other students to work their shifts when they have finals and shit but lol

it’s like bro you have 5 finals and 4 of them are online and you can take em whenever PLEASE

[steel stream]

nah a 1.0 for certain classes is passing

[pure garnet]

i have 3 finals and i’m taking 2 today

[steel stream]

undergrad is 1.0, but if you do grad school you need a 2.0

[pure garnet]

then the other on monday bc it’s locked

[steel stream]

I had one monday, one today, one thursday

[topaz veldt]

@shell void @turbid locust "Your system not running 8000 is probably your RAM or board and not the CPU" .... meanwhile...

[turbid locust]

I knew if I was passing or not well before finals week

I was never stressed about finals lmao

[topaz veldt]

sometimes I even made it to finals

[edgy laurel]

everything is fishtankified eventually https://youtu.be/Jq2hPkl_40A

[steel stream]

Im just worried about the exam today, ideally want a 2.0

[green marsh]

how do you insert the 12v2x6 at angle ? The hole is barely bigger than the connector, and the plastic around it is not chewed away

[pure garnet]

my finals week is weird because today is our study day

why is it on a wednesday

[topaz veldt]

I didn't do homework

I was busy building cars and servers and shit

so I needed tests and quizzes to hold me up

[smoky orbit]

Really dumb people can do really dumb things to a very surprising level sometimes

[steel stream]

you get a study day?

[pure garnet]

uni wide yeah

no in person exams can be scheduled today

[turbid locust]

the trick is to not be dumb and study the week or two prior to finals lmfao

[pure garnet]

study?

[topaz veldt]

Studying...

[pure garnet]

even for a class i’m borderline on i just walk in and ball

[topaz veldt]

I should have done that

[pure garnet]

i got my science c by perfect attendance

[turbid locust]

I loved finals week when I was in college. Would roll up, do the final in like half the allotted time, and dip to go play videogames for the rest of the afternoon

[topaz veldt]

I still have dreams that I had been chillin all year and never attended like.... Physics 203 or something hard, and had a final that day

[steel stream]

wack, we finished classes last week and then went straight into finals week

[pure garnet]

my classes ended like yesterday

[steel stream]

for MC exams I always just give myself a minute per question

[pure garnet]

exam period ends on the 5th and i walk on the 7th

[turbid locust]

When I was a freshman I did the calculations for my microeconomics final and I literally could have gotten a 54% on the final and still passed with an A lmao

[steel stream]

wack

[topaz veldt]

Micro Center exams

[turbid locust]

Imagine graduating lmao tf

[pure garnet]

then in 2 weeks i make my pilgrimage to the ohio microcenter

[steel stream]

mashallah

[turbid locust]

drop out and stumble into a career like a man

[pure garnet]

the second i saw they had one i added it to my itinerary

[smoky orbit]

I wish we had micro center in Canada, Canada computer isn’t really that good

[turbid locust]

Deserved for living in Canada

[steel stream]

nah man it's my 3rd year too late for that

[turbid locust]

I dropped out after my 6th semester

[steel stream]

oh shit this is my 6th semester

[turbid locust]

[smoky orbit]

We don’t have school shooting or trans rights issues (our rights aren’t perfect but much better than the us) so worth it

[steel stream]

campus just got a new gym with an awesome rock wall I can't drop out

[pure garnet]

every body got one joke

[turbid locust]

https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/nx-s1-5798896/tumbler-ridge-mass-shooting-chat-gpt-lawsuit this you?

[steel stream]

oh sheeeeittt NPR

[pure garnet]

politics are boring

intel is american so canada loses

[smoky orbit]

When we have a school shooting, it makes the headlines for a lot of time, not just in the “faits diverts” (translate to something like diverse facts)

[pallid marsh]

Intel stock is at $93

[steel stream]

@turbid locust I'll drop out of my school after my 8th semester

[turbid locust]

agree but like “we don’t have school shootings” two months after you have a school shooting is BM lmao

[pure garnet]

converted that the entire canadian gdp in cad

[smoky orbit]

It’s not a normalized thing here,

So yes, we don’t have a school shooting issue

[turbid locust]

Acting like it’s normalized in the US lmfao

actually braindead ass take

[pure garnet]

the one joke backfired we’re out of material can we get back to intel shilling

[ripe needle]

Dang

[frank zealot]

I mean.....
https://www.cnn.com/us/school-shootings-fast-facts-dg

[pallid marsh]

[pallid marsh]

Ew framework

[ripe needle]

21? Didn't 2026 just start

[pallid marsh]

What are yee going for school for?

[frank zealot]

IDK about you, but I know I haven't heard about 20+ of them this year

[steel stream]

Computer Engineering, but more focused on Electrical stuff

CS is a hellhole

[pallid marsh]

Mega nerd shit

[pure garnet]

akn will design the next cpu generation

[steel stream]

let me on the E core team please

[frank zealot]

CS is a hell of a risky bet right now.

Will we need it? Absolutely.

Will companies hire them, instead of relying on Vibe Coded shit and 1 or 2 "coders" ? Oof... that's hard to say.

[pure garnet]

nah they’re gonna reboot p3 for a third time

[steel stream]

I need me an Intel branded patagonia jacket

or carhartt

[smoky orbit]

[pallid marsh]

Bulldozer v2

[steel stream]

I just find it to be so dull for work/school. Knowing how to code and how to read it is a good skill to have, but it would be a miserable career for me

[teal orbit]

Computer science feels so fake every class I take

It's like a couple steps above business major

[pure garnet]

this argument of thing happens -> normalized is dumb

do you consider car crashes normal

[pallid marsh]

Weird Intel take

[turbid locust]

Yeah I was about to say some shit like this but I’m just gonna save my mental health for the day

[smoky orbit]

Car crashes are normalized in the society’s mind

[frank zealot]

normalized? yup. They happen all the goddamned time.

Rarely do they make any news, outside of hyper local

[turbid locust]

It’s like talking to brick walls

[steel stream]

eh, I saw business majors getting what profit was explained to them in the 8th week of classes so

[smoky orbit]

Oof

[turbid locust]

Can’t say anything about any country outside of the US without “bUt ScHoOl ShOoTiNgS”

[pure garnet]

i took a business class for one of my electives that consisted of like 4 subtraction formulas and the exam was open note

[turbid locust]

So like it is what it is

[teal orbit]

Yesterday a friend who's a business major said he just turned in all his assignments yesterday and went from a 0 to a 90 because there's no late work

[smoky orbit]

[steel stream]

yup, average experience

[turbid locust]

All I’m saying is I don’t have waitlists for major medical operations and assisted toaster bathing programs lmfao

[teal orbit]

Is that a Canada moment

[pure garnet]

every minute in canada a moment passes

[pallid marsh]

No late work is such a great policy because it's just like real life you can go to work and complete your work assignments at any time with no dead line /s

[steel stream]

wait fr?

[smoky orbit]

Neither do we have to wait if we go to a private clinic, (which cost a fuck ton of money) but you can also wait and don’t have to pay (life threatening surgeries have priority)

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s true for intel foundry

[steel stream]

I'm about to leave my campus job for an internship over the summer, can I just not do any work and leave it?

[steel stream]

hmm

[teal orbit]

Try it

[pure garnet]

akn what do you do on campus

[pallid marsh]

Forgot what sections of Canada it's a thing but you CANT have a credit card at 18 but you can still get MAID "toaster bath*

[topaz veldt]

whatever he wants

[teal orbit]

Japan would have amaid assisted "toaster bath"

[smoky orbit]

In which province you can’t get a credit card at 18?

[steel stream]

I work for a big research lab, and I do remote IT support for SharePoint

[teal orbit]

That answers my question

[steel stream]

[frank zealot]

ugh sharepoint lol

[turbid locust]

Or you just die waiting lmfao

[slim pebble]

It makes me wonder what in the world they changed on the IMC this time.

I suspect launch day 9950X3D came out of the gate with their best bin IMC because it had to be reviewed really well for people to buy them. You and I both bought day one.

[teal orbit]

everyone who goes to a hospital is patient

That's how that works

[steel stream]

our sharepoint team is 3 full time, and then usually 2 maybe 3 students as kind of back up/ grunt work

they just have so many applications built on sharepoint, and they are all so old

do you guys think the bid on the ssd will be higher than I paid for it before it even shows up 😂

I listed it before actually having possession of it because I couldn’t find any way that that breaks ebay tos

[smoky orbit]

why are you resselling an ssd? qwq

[cosmic gazelle]

I was scrolling pc part picker and found a pricing error

[teal orbit]

buying your ssd and then collecting my money back when the shipment gets delayed and eBay bans you or something (I think they don't like that)

[smoky orbit]

how much was it?

[cosmic gazelle]

canceling the listing because i no longer have the item is a completely legitimate way of ending an ebay listing lol

[cosmic gazelle]

35 after tax

[teal orbit]

Uh not if its an auction someone wins

[cosmic gazelle]

you certainly still can

[smoky orbit]

good, still scalper tho

[teal orbit]

ebay is pretty clear in their terms that they don't allow that

[cosmic gazelle]

you are not correct

[frank zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-guy-relaxing-popcorm-popcorn-gif-26404903

[teal orbit]

That's how it was as far as I could tell

[cosmic gazelle]

scalping is buying for fair market value and selling for an exorbitant price

i am buying for cheap and selling for fair market value

imo

[teal orbit]

I was looking at this last week based on whether its OK to sell something on eBay at the same time as on another market

[smoky orbit]

proportionately, it's still scalping

[smoky orbit]

it' not on another market, it's simply not in their hands yet

[teal orbit]

I'm saying if something happens and it never arrives so they have to cancel the eBay listing after it aold

[smoky orbit]

ohhhh

[cosmic gazelle]

telling ebay you lost the item is not the same as telling ebay you sold it somewhere else

[teal orbit]

Is it not, surely the loophole is then to just say you lost it instead of selling it somewhere else if that was the scenario

[cosmic gazelle]

yes because they can’t just make shit up about why you cancelled a listing and then ban you unless it’s a repeat pattern

also i’m pretty sure you still pay some sort of fee if you cancel and it’s already purchased

so you are incentivized to not do so

[frank cypress]

i was thinking they were connected in some manner

still, damn'

[teal orbit]

I can't find it on eBay's site, but many posts on reddit say you get punished for cancelling and item for being no longer available

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/What-s-with-sellers-deciding-they-can-just-cancel-orders-because/td-p/34410983

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble Dude just posted one of the OCN threads I am in that he picked up a 9950X3D to replace his 9950X3D2 that also could not run 8000... and the 9950X3D cannot run 8000

[chrome vessel]

Found a way for my digital twin to close its loop 🙌

[steel stream]

time to find out the hard way I suppose

[topaz veldt]

Now I need to return this on 9950X3D2 to MC and not buy more

[chrome vessel]

Digital twin is a 200 page research paper

[steel stream]

but what if the next one is the chosen one?

[chrome vessel]

How I modeled

[cosmic gazelle]

think about this

with the money you get from returning it you could buy two 9850x3ds to bin

what if one of them ends up being a 99th percentile bin

[chrome vessel]

May actually be sitting on something legitimately big

[cosmic gazelle]

"may be sitting on something legitimately big" posts something spit out by chatgpt

[topaz veldt]

already had the 9850X3D single ccd life isn't for me

[slim pebble]

I don’t get why 8000 at gear 2 is so hard. The uclk and fclk sync at 2000. It should be so much easier than even 6000 1:1 because the soc voltage requirement is lower

[pure garnet]

the next science breakthrough is coming from rizzgodstarkilla

[topaz veldt]

its less on the soc but more on the IMC

[south shuttle]

a lot of motherboards can’t handle 8000

or most

[topaz veldt]

and CPUs lol

1:1 you are battling just your CPU

1:2 you need a CPU, motherboard, and RAM to cooperate

[pure garnet]

i still don't get how 8000 doesn't work when it's less uclk than 6000

[topaz veldt]

Its clearly the IMC in some capacity, maybe quality of terminations or something, I dunno - but I have, right now, a CPU running an aggressive 8000 CL32 tune on the same mobo/ram/psu/gpu/everything, without resocketing RAM or anything, that two different 9950X3D2 could not run 8000 CL40 on

[low sorrel]

Have you tried getting a 3rd 9950x3d2

@low sorrel your gpu is recommended for medium 1080p 60fps in the new assassin creed game

[edgy laurel]

i had this realization in handbrake too, even using NVENC. handbrake offloads everything that isn't the main video stream to the CPU and it becomes the bottleneck anyway

7900x was faster

[pure garnet]

is it the audio conversion maybe

I was apparently slightly mistaken, but so are you

Bourbon can only be made in the USA. (Not restricted to one state. Sorry Kentucky 😛 )

[turbid locust]

I live like 15 mins from the Woodford distillery im required to be an elitist

I’m in the bourbon deep state there’s no getting me out

But don't pretend they're all top shelf

I've had both single barrel and small batch, both were stellar

then go from there. I prefer mine on a rock 99% of the time

I've usually got Makers or Knob Creek around

If you can find one of these, they can be fun

I find Makers diabolically overrated

it holds about a shot of liquor in the top well, when you press the button, it comes out the bottom, but aerates the liquor on the way through

[devout ridge]

Nah, they’re replacing individual switches

[arctic bronze]

well the towns I live in and around are hella old

keyboard is still fully functional, just some missing/damaged keycaps

give them a couple years though

[pallid marsh]

https://www.flyingmag.com/alaska-pilots-95000-cessna-on-the-line-for-passengers-beer/ yup they will even steal your plane

[steel stream]

wow

[shell void]

ngl it doesnt seem like general purpose humanoid robots have improved all that much in ten years despite machine learning getting far better

they can still barely perform basic tasks like flipping a box to the right orientation to be scanned

[devout ridge]

Yeah, they’re still kinda bad at it

[steel stream]

they're terrible still

[devout ridge]

specific purpose robots have gotten miles better, but general purpose ones are still pretty god awful

[steel stream]

the only cool ones are boston dynamics, and those are highly specialized and instructed

[shell void]

the more specified a task the better a computer will be at doing it

yes I like seeing the robots flip

ASICs make CPUs and GPUs look like ridiculous stone aged technology in their particular task

chat do we think that GTA 6 will actually launch later this year, or will it get delayed to 2027?

[devout ridge]

100% 2027

[steel stream]

I love media engines, they are so cool

[steel stream]

shhh don't tell Jorj, you'll break his heart

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

that would be sweet if true, only a few months delay instead of two years

[random flame]

I dunno, but a lot of things have been happening or happened before it's release.

[young void]

This would be hypee

[wraith steeple]

HL3 is more likely to come out than GTA VI being on 2027

[south shuttle]

former staff is too late

[random flame]

Next thing to happen will be a release of a Berhinger clone of the Juno-60 in June. Who knows what else.

[south shuttle]

we'll be happy if we get gta 7 before 2030

[random flame]

Doubt it, even if VI does drop before then.

Just as much as we all doubt we'll ever get a true HL3. Lol.

[wraith steeple]

That's my point

[random flame]

People even still doubt we'll get ourselves a proper Spyro 4 too.

[fringe vigil]

Needs to be a 2027 release ngl

[random flame]

Or even KH IV releasing around this year or the next.

[shell void]

pc gaming is a lot more popular today than it was in 2015 so i assume there'll be a shorter delay between console and pc

[random flame]

I'd hope so. KH III released first on consoles, then needed a loooong time to get to pc, then an even looooooonger time to get off of EGS to Steam and then getting ironed out.

[shell void]

especially with consoles just using pc hardware

it's not like theyre porting a game that was made to run on a cell processor to a small niche audience (gta 5 ps3 to pc)

theyre going from zen + rdna on ps5 to a much larger pc audience

[random flame]

The PS5 is somewhat the last system with specifications to set in stone what else would be great to adopt that matters, which was working around the high bandwidth and low latency of faster internal storage.

[leaden dawn]

Former? Sounds like they are aiming for 2028

[random flame]

Besides the Switch pushing things into the hybrid portable realm, we haven't really had anything else to push any further innovations that actually influenced the way games would be made these days from what I can tell.

[shell void]

that'll come with next gen ps6/xbh

AAA games made for those consoles will be expecting to use pathtracing and neural rendering

(this is publicly claimed not assumed)

[random flame]

I know gaussian splatting will be the next thing they're gonna try pushing, I bet.

[steel stream]

PT with an internal res of 1024x768 🔥

[leaden dawn]

Neural rendering like.. Dlss5?

[steel stream]

nah

Neural Rendering is a texture thing

https://www.creativebloq.com/tech/what-is-nvidias-neural-rendering-and-why-is-it-important

[shell void]

this was the official slide for Xbox Helix that was shown publicly

[random flame]

All that's happening now is they're just going to push for the hardware to just have enough grunt at the bare minimum for some of this stuff coming out and make it something (somewhat) accessible enough to incentivize those standards'/technologies' adoption.

[cosmic gazelle]

i watched a video recently that said that there’s never been an n64(?) emulator that is perfectly accurate and that most of them fail many tests spectacularly

[shell void]

AAA games will be made with upscaling, multiframegen, neural rendering, and pathtracing

[cosmic gazelle]

and that’s what, 30 year old hardware?

[shell void]

which gives us an idea of what AMD is targeting with RDNA5 since PS6 and XBH use RDNA5

the same slop that nvidia is doing, but worse because it's radeon

[random flame]

Speaking of N64, that hardware design has been pushed to the limit at this point. Apparently now there's an open-world game with really high distance rendering.

[cosmic gazelle]

consoles are doomed

[cosmic gazelle]

i saw this, very cool

super smart developer

[random flame]

Every time, somehow someone keeps coming back to older hardware designs and demonstrating something originally seen on the other systems and later gens that could actually be done on it.

(To be clear I was sent this I don't use Facebook (idk what their short form content is called))

[steel stream]

the downhill of consoles started with the introduction of playstations PISSER upscaling

[random flame]

At some point, I think the consoles people will actually care about will just be systems using designs that by today's standards are really basic or archaic by design in order to be worth it.

[leaden dawn]

switch 2 sales were fantastic so i dont think consoles are going anywhere

[cosmic gazelle]

i wonder if anyone will ever make an og switch game that looks functionally better than the best aaa games these days

[cosmic gazelle]

fantastic in the face of many, many factors working against it as well

I think handheld consoles will be good, the plug in boxes will go down a little in sales volume but will still be around

[leaden dawn]

When you aren't playing the processing is allocated to the network

[low sorrel]

It's Nintendo they could bend you over and rail you up the ass and they will sell 10 million consoles

[shell void]

we won't know until we can see ps6 and xbox helix sales

but ps5 sales were great too

[steel stream]

I quite like having my PS5, it's neat to have, just wished we had more co op couch games

I love PS exclusives so I'll keep buying the consoles

[low sorrel]

I might have to buy a ps5 for GTA 6

Actually probably a PS5 pro

[shell void]

youll want a ps5p for the much better gpu and pssr2

[leaden dawn]

I am.. Going to wait. Still.

[young void]

For pc would be cool so the ma lady and I could run it

[random flame]

We already had Stadia and Luna for that.
And remember what happened to them.

[steel stream]

yeah go for the pro fs

[low sorrel]

I'll buy a ps5 pro buy GTA 6 physically, finish the game and sell both of them

[random flame]

It didn't go well... And they weren't even the first attempt either.

[steel stream]

PSSR is like FSR4

[leaden dawn]

If I can afford to I'll probably get my GPU upgraded

[low sorrel]

A bit better afaik

[shell void]

PSSR2 is based on FSR4.1 so it's dramatically better than the FSR3 that youll get on a non-pro PS5 or the Xbox Series X

[random flame]

Even OnLive years ago failed too and they came way before both.

[low sorrel]

Doesn't it dynamically change the res

[shell void]

before even considering that the raw gpu compute is also far better

kinda crazy they gave the PS5 pro FSR4 in the form of PISSER and didn't give it to older AMD gpus, but I respect it

[leaden dawn]

And Facebook owned products

[low sorrel]

No Facebook marketplace deals for u

it’s a little amusing how brazenly amd will spit in desktop radeon users faces and they still lap it up every generation

[low sorrel]

Aight fuck this it's a 6 second meme short lol

[steel stream]

NVIDIA is greedy! They keep upping the prices on the products with the better software and support! How dare they!

let me just go to the other corpo which just treats me like dogshit

[leaden dawn]

Just works better in my case. But yeah they are persistently behind in software features.

[cosmic gazelle]

evil nvidia be like here’s a fairly priced product relative to its actual raster performance

[leaden dawn]

Guys by the way we like war. War fun, good for me.

Much money in war.

[cosmic gazelle]

evil nvidia be like *calls for a ceasefire*

[vestal granite]

can i just have 2 decent options instead of 1 good option and 1 bad option

thats all i want

i dont got good-option money and i dont want bad option u know what i mean so give me decent options that are middle priced

[steel stream]

bro forgot about Intel :(

[vestal granite]

no intel is the bad option

[cosmic gazelle]

you have 1 good option for 20% upcharge

1 mid option for fair market value

and 1 kinda shitty option for 20% discount

[low sorrel]

War good if I personally profit from war

[random flame]

And then the third option just... Doesn't know exactly what they want to do with their products because it neither sells well in mainstream or appeals as much in the datacenter space.

[steel stream]

:(

[vestal granite]

oh did you did you think i was saying nvidia was the good option and amd was the bad option?

no no no, amd is the good option and intel is the bad option. nvidia is not an option it is a certainty, an absolute

[random flame]

Technically they all suck in some huge way or another. Lol.

[leaden dawn]

Intel's the bad option? F.

[low sorrel]

For GPUs

[cosmic gazelle]

remember when nvidia put out the 9000 series and everyone was like

[leaden dawn]

I mean they're mediocre at worst..

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/legobatman-gif-14443780454512952596

[low sorrel]

No

We are on 5000 series

[vestal granite]

there are some chinese gpu manufacturers i would use before using an intel GPU is how ill explain my feelings on intel gpus

[cosmic gazelle]

wait you actually have 4 options, matrox still exists

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-paul-dano-riddler-somarra-gif-835799788689308789

[leaden dawn]

Nvidia hasn't interested me since 10 series tbh

[random flame]

Realistically (with current gpus), they're fine, but nothing spectacular and they don't have much else that's better because they can't see themselves making anything from it to justify it being there (B770 specifically).

[cosmic gazelle]

cmon they aren’t THAT bad

[vestal granite]

theyre pretty bad

at least the chinese gpu makers will steal the good intellectual property that intel doesnt have the balls or "licensing" to steal

[cosmic gazelle]

what yall know about the 9800 gx2

[random flame]

And while we did technically receive that said sku under the guise of an Arc Pro B70, it still would have people not paying attention or being really on the fence about choosing it.

[vestal granite]

i dont want to know about it

[cosmic gazelle]

i forget that discord users can be born in the 2010s now thanks for ruining my day

[leaden dawn]

Ive failed my child self

[random flame]

Except they didn't really steal at all. They just bought out companies with IP for them or had gotten licensing to make their own based off something that already existed (Moorethreads and their custom PowerVR-style gpus).

Jaykihn said there'll be a workstation release of Crescent Island which is that 512bit Xe3p GPU made with Intel 18A
