[steel stream]

that I do not know

but my LG C4 shows up as NVIDIA HD audio as well

[frank zealot]

Mine says HD Audio out, but that's because I'm using HDMI and ARC

[steel stream]

yeah it's awesome

[cosmic gazelle]

laugh at the poor

[devout ridge]

Unironically one of the best products apple ever released

[steel stream]

their audio stuff is just good

[devout ridge]

except the airpods max

[frank zealot]

and it only existed because of the dumbass decision to ditch 3.5mm

[devout ridge]

those are genuinely worse than a pair of airpod pros, but twice the price

[devout ridge]

It wasn't a bad decision, it was a decision they made too early

[frank zealot]

on my 5060 TI 16GB going to my OLED?

[frank zealot]

ARC = Audio Return Channel, it's for the goddamned sound to go to your speakers from the TV 😛

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-man-gif-23343928

[steel stream]

no eARC? pleb

[frank zealot]

ARC E-ARC? Whichever, I don't care which it is, as long as it does the sound.

[cosmic gazelle]

my car is on 171777 miles which means that in 4990 miles i’ll be at 176767

[steel stream]

it's prob eARC

I love eARC, it makes modern audio so easy

[frank zealot]

the fact it'll wake up the sound device without touching a second remote?
Thank fuck

[steel stream]

it's so nice

[cosmic gazelle]

one day i’m gonna configure a pc to be controllable with my tv’s remote through a CEC adapter

[late atlas]

One day

[steel stream]

I was able to just chuck my soundbar's remote into some random bin and I never have to use it

fuck ass remote

[late atlas]

Are you making a YouTube thumbnail or something

Why is that arrow there

[steel stream]

no i just copied an image from google

that was a YT thumbnail

[late atlas]

😭

[frank zealot]

I'm laughing that my TV's remote has solar cells on the back.
So it never needs new batteries, unless you don't leave it upside down to recharge. >.>

[wraith steeple]

This was a fun project to work on. Without a doubt my top retro project thus far (486 VLB build)

[cosmic gazelle]

over engineering final boss fr

[steel stream]

I do like that feature of the samsung remotes, but it's so small and plastic-y

[cosmic gazelle]

what r you running on it

looks clean

xp?

[hoary hatch]

Ew Samsung

Burn it

[frank zealot]

if you give the front panel a peroxide bath, it should fix up a fair bit of the discoloration.

Tysytube has stuff on it

[steel stream]

I don't think I can

[frank zealot]

and I'm sure a replacement is like 80 bucks from them despite being cheap and plasticy

[steel stream]

$30 from amazon, not terrible, but way too much for that remote

should be 10, 15 max

[frank zealot]

samsung brand? That's surprisingly reasonable

[steel stream]

ah $50 from Samsung themselves

[frank zealot]

That's more like what i'd expect

[late atlas]

Samsung is Samsung

They're no cheap brand

[frank zealot]

Scamsung you say?

[late atlas]

Nah not entirely tho, they have good products

[wraith steeple]

Windows 95 OSR2. I have it set up where it boots straight into DOS Mode as it's mostly a DOS loader. I could get another DOM drive to put DOS 6.22/WFW 3.11 as that was what the original 486 we had that ran. Also it's running W95 mostly for the nostalgia factor to be in sixth gear as it got upgraded to Windows 95 and that was what the original family 486 ran when I played on it was a wee lil lad

[steel stream]

they have like 2

[late atlas]

They're ssds, monitors, phones are pretty good

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/fr-lie-gif-9063740662564569899

wrong reply

their OLED monitors are matte so

[late atlas]

Are you trying to tell me that Samsung doesn't make good ssds?

Or phones

[frank zealot]

You could get a CF Card and an IDE to CF Adapter and use it as a SSD

[late atlas]

Right, now look at their entire monitor range, i see some good monitors from there for actually really good prices

[frank zealot]

At one point at an old job we were looking at doing that to turn some P2 PCs into thin clients.

[hoary hatch]

They make some great phones, some trash phones, and a lot of in between phones

They have good SSDs no complaints there except for the bad ones

[steel stream]

they also make the S95H which is one of the most baffling TVs I've ever seen

[late atlas]

Yeah but all this can be said for all brands, I'm just saying that Samsung may be expensive but their expensive products are usually worth the price, USUALLY, I'm comparing this to the 990 pros and flagship phones

[late atlas]

Haven't seen it

[hoary hatch]

I have 2 significant issues with Samsung TVs: tizen and no Dolby vision

[steel stream]

Dumbasses

[hoary hatch]

Huh

[steel stream]

I'm calling Samsung dumbasses for making that abomination of a TV

[hoary hatch]

Oh my god it ships like that

[steel stream]

yes that's how it looks

[hoary hatch]

Is this like the next generation idea for "the frame"

[steel stream]

that's my guess?

I guess they want the flagship OLED to be more of a display piece than a TV

[hoary hatch]

It's anti glare but...not matte?

[steel stream]

nah it's matte

[hoary hatch]

Ffs

[steel stream]

yup

fork found in kitchen

I really want to talk with the designers and find out why

yo @wraith steeple I get to go to the Pistons game tn

[wraith steeple]

Hell ya

[hexed karma]

would overclocking a x3d cpu be a worthwhile endeavor

[green marsh]

how many designs will Samsung create for same button layout

i mean they also got this

[fervent chasm]

i like this one

[green marsh]

ironically the TV i got that one above for originally came with this

[vestal granite]

thats peak remote

[cosmic gazelle]

very sad day

i found a MINT HP Z440 but it was stripped and the guy had just sold all their ram 💔

[frank cypress]

taht's bad ass as fuck

[young void]

Ai is neat

Idk what im going to do with him yet but smth

[vestal granite]

lizard

[mild sentinel]

i like the guy who put this thumbnail 🤣 good one

[fervent chasm]

Girlfriends Uni provider got hacked

[spiral quarry]

Yea same here

[hoary hatch]

I wonder what schools are on the list

[vestal granite]

yeah just go to their URL and check

[fervent chasm]

91.215.85.103/pay_or_leak/instructure_affected_schools_list.txt

[mild sentinel]

is it safe 💀

[cosmic gazelle]

somebody buy it no balls

[cyan canopy]

Yeah, no thanks

[fervent chasm]

It’s not a download lol, but that’s the link

It’s a long ass list

[hoary hatch]

Oh damn I didn't even open the embed

[hoary hatch]

Oh Arizona state is on there

So if I graduated a few years ago and haven't touched canvas since, am I safe?

[fervent chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild sentinel]

the list is VERY long

holy shit

[fervent chasm]

But yah the company didn’t pay up so they leaked the data also

[young void]

Cobras you ever dabble with 3d models? Or thought about making a game?

Make a photography game

Smth

[spiral quarry]

Maybe if the school deactivated your account

ohh my community college and current uni is on the list

[mild sentinel]

will i get hack after i searching the link

[spiral quarry]

and I still have access to my community college email.

[young void]

Reminds me I need to make a 5mall 5nail model and a smol spartan for sparks

Gonna be secret characters lol

[fervent chasm]

Oh damn my community college is on the list too

[spiral quarry]

[late atlas]

Next it's going to be your house

[floral spear]

I dont own a car but

This entire tint shit is annoying

[hoary hatch]

I have no idea if my canvas is still active

The myasu account lasts for life afaik

[spiral quarry]

It’s just canvas you’d probably still be able to log on but there’s not reason too since you’ve graduated.

[indigo walrus]

No way to know if you're safe unless you know what data the school had on you and what data was allegedly compromised by the attackers.

Assume any information you've ever stored on any system connected to the internet has been leaked or accessed without authorization.

[fervent chasm]

Someone can probably easily make a website where you just enter your name and the server sifts through the data for all relevant info

[spiral quarry]

fuck I have a final paper due

[trim agate]

people do this on the internet anyway

you should always assume that if you've put anything up on a server on the internet whether it's google, chatgpt, discord, instagram, it's not safe

or at least it's been viewed or can be viewed by other people

[fervent chasm]

Yah but that’s to be expected

[hoary hatch]

My university had practically everything on me

Although I want to point out that my university wasn't compromised, rather the LMS was.

The question is what personal information is shared from the university to the LMS

[fervent chasm]

There’s probably less of an expectation of privacy online than in public

[vestal granite]

cause of ransomware i think

[brave panther]

only office is the best office

[spiral quarry]

Right now yea not surprised.

[hoary hatch]

Even with the hack, canvas is still an order of magnitude better than blackboard

[fervent chasm]

I’ve only ever used canvas

[hoary hatch]

We switched from blackboard to canvas halfway through my time in college

[cosmic gazelle]

man

cheapest 750 ti is $22.50 and cheapest 980 ti is $40

what a terrible market

[hoary hatch]

EWWWW

[brave panther]

tf it is used for? i havent used either

[hoary hatch]

Canvas is Mormon 🤮

[hoary hatch]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_management_system

[indigo walrus]

Contact the university's privacy person to find out. If they don't see the importance in your concern, contact your provincial or state privacy commissioner with evidence of the university's lack of care to protect your data and demand they open an investigation.

[hoary hatch]

I am so not going to do that

[green marsh]

RIP all 5 users of DX12 on 4th gen IGP 😄

[hoary hatch]

ASU has ~100k active students, I guarantee they will be attempting to figure out the impact for the canvas hack

[pure garnet]

@shell void the 5070ti is not enjoying 8k world of warcraft with 8x msaa :(

[green marsh]

i have a working 750 Ti Gainward somewhere

[fervent chasm]

My gf said the tech department is getting bombarded with tickets lol

30 tickets in 3 minutes when it first started, there’s only 10 people working rn

[hoary hatch]

Yeah, as an alumni, there is very little to do about it now

[brave panther]

ah, we used a country specific one provided by country's academic and research network

[hoary hatch]

Honestly my university was large enough they could have rolled out something bespoke

[brave panther]

https://github.com/moodle/moodle
or just fork this

our was probably a fork of this

[frank cypress]

wait where i can i find the full list?

[hoary hatch]

Suppose I'll just login and change my asu password tonight

[spiral quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/1t5js78/instructure_hacker_claims_data_theft_from_8800/ if you go into the comments someone posted the link to it.

[frank cypress]

thanks

[hoary hatch]

I assume name/email(s)/phone number are compromised which I also assume already exists on the web

[fervent chasm]

It’s also just there if you scroll up in the convo

8.8k schools

[brave panther]

scammers and phishers will have a great day when this goes public

[spiral quarry]

Welp there is a saving grace from my physics prof. He's on the fence about scrapping the final essay

If the problem isn't resolved by the end of the day, which just leaves the final exam.

[shell void]

that's quite a few pixels

[cosmic gazelle]

send it to me now expeditiously

but only if it costs me less than $22.50

[green marsh]

Shipping to US is expensive. And even in EU

[fervent chasm]

i need a new monitor so bad im playing 144hz 1440p on a 4090

[cosmic gazelle]

evil european!!!!

jk

[fervent chasm]

yah but from china to us its so cheap

its so weird because they still have to use local carriers

ive wondered about that before

[cosmic gazelle]

lol ya alibaba offers free shipping on a lot these days

[green marsh]

~75 euros to ship 2kg box to US

[cosmic gazelle]

i checked how much it was to send a small envelope to lebanon and it was around $55

[frank cypress]

oh thank lord

none of the schools i've ever been to are on the list

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm so sick of people who sell empty gpu boxes bruh

[frank zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNGXHFZcZw
If you're happy and you know it clap your..... hair?

[young void]

@topaz veldt revision 1

[green marsh]

Talking about GPU boxes, I got rid of the gtx960 box, cause I sold the card to a friend. Got only 25 euros for it, but at least it will be used LOL

And by got rid of it I mean it went to the buyer with the card

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/lowball-roblox-trading-rolimons-gif-10788622176317852918

[dapper anvil]

What is that liquid around the screw?

[devout ridge]

That is a wonderful question

[young void]

Excellent question with the pc off take the screw out and q tip the area till clean post the q tip

[pure garnet]

looks just like grounding metal to me

[young void]

Could be

[pure garnet]

screw went down and scuffed off some of the paint

[dapper anvil]

It’s around every screw that’s held to the pc case

I assume it came from the little silver pads around that screw, what are they?

[young void]

Show the q tip once done for more info

[cosmic gazelle]

i caved and bought this 980 because it's a shitty listing and figured he'd accept my offer

[dapper anvil]

What could it be?

[devout ridge]

Show the q tip once done for more info

[young void]

Depends what it looks like on the q tip

[cosmic gazelle]

wait a sec

@pure garnet are there 6gb 980s or did i just get a 980 ti

[young void]

If green corrosion, if yellow vape/smoke, if brown pet dandruff to dustbunnys/humidity possibly smoke depends really

[cosmic gazelle]

oooooh i think i just got a 980 ti for 37 bucks

i hope it works lol that'd be unfortunate

[young void]

Facts

[fervent chasm]

why you getting a 980 ti

[cosmic gazelle]

hwbot

[fervent chasm]

oh

[pure garnet]

980ti is 6gb

[young void]

If silver/black specs could just be the screw scrapping the board causing it to rub off as sister Kyoko mentioned

[cosmic gazelle]

so uh

turns out it's a titan black, i might have gotten a bad deal actually

do i keep it because it's cool?

[young void]

Never hurts for the cost of a meal lil diagnosing gpu

[pure garnet]

its just hwbot points anyway so why not

[cosmic gazelle]

eeeeeugh it performs around the same as a gtx 970 so all i'm getting is a cool factor

he has a 980 for like the same money tho

but then how would the guy respond to me cancelling and offering on a different gpu lmao

i mean titan blacks do sell for almost 100 dollars

might be able to just turn it around for a bit of cash

[fervent chasm]

so much for prices dropping

[cosmic gazelle]

it's really not that much worse than a 970 except for efficiency so i'm gonna keep it i think

it's a cool little relic and i can probably sell it for what I paid for it

oh and it runs driver version 475 which is not bad

[brave panther]

quick to rise, slow to fall

[fervent chasm]

still rising ig lol

[cosmic gazelle]

MISTER BREAST

@young void after a quick search i found out that people bios modded titan blacks to use 400 watts back in the day

kinda wild ngl

[young void]

Thats some serious juice

[cosmic gazelle]

performs on par with an rx 580 and i paid the same amount for my rx 580

and i assume this card will probably be more stable

[south shuttle]

definitely just wear

qtips and ipa won't help you

if anything, it'll wear even more

but it's not worth concern, it has done it's job at stopping the screw

[devout ridge]

@young void I suppose the liquid shall remain a mystery

[young void]

x files music plays

[floral spear]

Should I buy Forza Horizon 6?

[young void]

Do you wanna?

[floral spear]

I mean I kinda want to since it takes in Japan and everything but my past experience with FH5 was kinda rough

[young void]

I say full send then

[cosmic gazelle]

i would avoid it until reviews come out

fh5 was a pretty mediocre game

[floral spear]

Yea and I didn't really like it when I tried it

And I played FH1, FH2, and 3

[cosmic gazelle]

fh6 will either be a huge return to form or the end of the franchise

[floral spear]

Imagine somrone pushing "you have to get X DLC to do this track"

Like that really rubbed me the wrong way especially since it was the beginning region

ima spend it on some new pc parts

ill save it for the 52c nova lake

[lunar comet]

So i ran corecycler overnight no issues. I ran occt stress test for 10mins no issues. I got my 9800x3d to run full load at 93C using 1.09v with a co of -36. Ill do a final aida64 test later.

[merry stirrup]

yes

[fringe vigil]

that shi is out??

[young void]

What kinda npc would a floppa be

[floral spear]

In 7 days for premium edition people and in 12 days for the poors

[smoky orbit]

[late atlas]

may 19th, may 14th with preorder premium edition

with premium, you also get 2 expansions, all the car packs, special pre order exclusive car, customisation and other stuff

[smoky orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-sigh-gif-5895699729383201961

[young void]

Hrmm perhaps chibi sparks

[late atlas]

£60 vs £110

[smoky orbit]

Oof

[late atlas]

(im going to get it next week)

[smoky orbit]

whi....which one?
-# >.<

[late atlas]

😈

[smoky orbit]

please tell me it's the 60 pund one

[late atlas]

[late atlas]

im also doing it for the steam points

so i can buy a level 40 badge and go up like 20 levels on my steam profile

[smoky orbit]

[spiral quarry]

Lol to get or not get, literally trying to make up my mind atm on that.

[late atlas]

from the purchase

[spiral quarry]

I've pretty much abandoned fh5 at this point, only logging in to check stuff once in a while.

[late atlas]

[smoky orbit]

damn

[late atlas]

poignee

[smoky orbit]

[late atlas]

do you have 2 minutes to sit in a vc with me so i can stream something to you

[smoky orbit]

yesh (but I don't have a mic nor a webcam)

[late atlas]

well webcam is not needed anyway, mic doesnt matter, i just want to stream

[low sorrel]

I wonder if multiplayer is going to be pirate able like in FH5 and MSFS2020

[cosmic gazelle]

i will not ever buy another upgraded version of forza horizon because those fuckers said the vip edition would include all dlc and then completely lied and released a ton of unincluded dlc in the future

[low sorrel]

they patched it for MSFS2024

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup guess what piece of ewaste i got a relatively good deal on today

[floral spear]

I personally care more about the content like the roads ans the car

[cosmic gazelle]

i want them to fix the damn sounds

they have ai it should be incredibly easy now

[low sorrel]

wdym

[cosmic gazelle]

a hellcat shouldn't sound like an anemic boat

[low sorrel]

does a mustang not sound like a boat

[cosmic gazelle]

if you've ever actually spent time around any of the cars in forza, they all sound like total bullshit except for the cover cars

like every v8 in the game sounds exactly the damn same

[low sorrel]

honestly forza is a game i play the campaign once when it releases and never again

the physics are kinda pee pee poo poo

[cosmic gazelle]

i like cars so i enjoy the modding aspect and hope they expand on it

because having a game in japan that doesn't have modding/jdm style stuff for most cars would be an incredible waste of storage on a hard drive

[low sorrel]

I mean is there not much reason other then slam more horse power

slam more grip

[cosmic gazelle]

the classes actually do make it more interesting though

you can have a grip or a power build in the same 800 class and they will perform very differnetly

[low sorrel]

true

I just don't find the driving part of the driving that to be that enjoyable ironcally

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm trying to make a frog light farm in minecraft and just getting the frogs in the first place is such a pain in the ass bro

[low sorrel]

@spiral quarry when forza horizon but with iracing physics

oh and a beamng drive crash model

[cosmic gazelle]

iracing physics are stupid for non wheel users tho

[low sorrel]

acc physics then?

[cosmic gazelle]

ya maybe

[analog scroll]

Trying to play FH5 with Beam's level of physics would be funny but super frustrating

obliterating your suspension and bending your chassis on the first jump in the intro

[low sorrel]

now make it so you have to pay money for repairs

[analog scroll]

yeeees

[spiral quarry]

[analog scroll]

real money

[low sorrel]

4.99$ for a one time repair fee

69.99$ for lifetime repairs

[spiral quarry]

EA style

[young void]

@edgy laurel I wanted to make you into a 3d chibi spartan buttt i also dont want to test Microsoft is there any other things you'd accept as a charachter npc?

[low sorrel]

Speaking of EA do you know when the f126 dlc is gonna come out

[spiral quarry]

not sure haven't kept up with it

[low sorrel]

I've been playing some dirt rally and damn that shit is hard

[spiral quarry]

lol I'm just waiting for Canvas to be back online

[low sorrel]

I saw that lol

Didn't a bunch of schools get ransomwared

[spiral quarry]

Yea, though that's on the providers part for the ransom

Schools were just the casualty

[low sorrel]

As much as I shit on my school's it department

[spiral quarry]

Both my community college and current uni are part of the list.

[low sorrel]

We dont use canvas so

[spiral quarry]

Nothing like hell and chaos during finals.

[low sorrel]

they once had a flaw where they improbably set up the screen mirroring software

So every class was in the same room

And every computer had teacher prevliages

For like 3 months

@brisk jolt is AC rally any good?

[brisk jolt]

im not sure, i heard it is tho

[low sorrel]

Hmmm

When's the summer sale

[devout ridge]

probably in the summer

[brisk jolt]

ask google or smth

[low sorrel]

25th june

[cosmic gazelle]

yeeeeeup

[devout ridge]

that's what happens when you have a massive dataleak

[low sorrel]

I feel like canva goes down like every year during finals

[young void]

3d mark sale on steam for those w/o ❤️ $8.74

[cosmic gazelle]

still more expensive than what people actually buy it for lol

[young void]

Thats about what I paid but wouldnt doubt it

[cosmic gazelle]

i don't know if we're allowed to discuss what i mean but i'm sure you can fill in the blanks

[devout ridge]

iirc i bought it for about 4usd

[young void]

I mean as long as its not pirated or Microsoft violating things keys for games myte be fine id need to re read #rules

Brb

If its unofficial purchases I suppose then one shouldn't

If its just a game site w/o keys should be fine id imagine. Not 100% certain

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel what new GPU did you get?

[low sorrel]

6090

[brisk jolt]

i didnt know it was already 2069

[edgy laurel]

uhhhhhh

give me a moment while I digest that

My grades are already in and I don’t use Canvas

[young void]

I always make the zombies do thriller on the testing map xD

[steel stream]

Must suck though

[vital linden]

two times in a month

[steel stream]

lol

[vital linden]

shinyhunters is really going hard this year on hacks

[edgy laurel]

you just made me watch the whole music video

[young void]

XD

[edgy laurel]

1.1B views on that

[fringe vigil]

has to be done

[vital linden]

and it's a masterpiece of a video because Michael Jackson didn't make music videos he made short films

[steel stream]

Always remember, even LeBron left Cleveland

[fringe vigil]

everything he did was a hit or masterpiece

[edgy laurel]

the official video on his YT channel is very high quality too, its pretty great

uploaded in 4K and its quite clean

which is interesting given its upload date is 16 years ago

[fringe vigil]

it was already in igh quality

[edgy laurel]

I wonder if its been updated

[vital linden]

how so?

[edgy laurel]

maybe its the popularity of the channel but typically 16y/o uploads on YT do not look that good

and I know larger channels have some additional features for updating videos

[vital linden]

I mean if it was shot using film it would make sense that the quality was there all along could just be upscaled

[steel stream]

Nah wouldn’t be upscaling

[edgy laurel]

yeah its very clearly a good upscale from the original film

no?

[steel stream]

If they still had the original film they could rescan

[edgy laurel]

yeah but to 4K 16 years ago?

all i'm suggesting is I don't think the video file there now is the one someone uploaded originally

[vital linden]

They aren't reuploading

most likely

[young void]

Some current models this is kinda fun

[edgy laurel]

its the same listing and the same views

but damn if it is the best quality video i've seen thats that old

[shell void]

it's not

[vital linden]

I know youtube has an editor so are they just swapping it in via editor?

[shell void]

the 35mm film was rescanned at 4K, and they swapped it out with the post-upload editor

[edgy laurel]

yeah, has to be

[vital linden]

yeah ok that would be why

Rescans just look great

[shell void]

apparently the 4K rescanned video was swapped in 2022

[edgy laurel]

oh yeah I bet this was news somewhere

[shell void]

yeah some old 35mm films look spectacular

[steel stream]

I watched the 4K “The Thing” rescan, that looked so damn good

[shell void]

i have a snippet of the android 13 dbz movie that was rescanned and it looks so cool

[edgy laurel]

you made these?

[vital linden]

I mean if done well I can imagine 35 mm films could look insane in 4k and there are also bad outputs of this too which is really disappointing.

[steel stream]

@edgy laurel you should check out the 4K “The Thing” rescan

[edgy laurel]

I can tell just from this trailer it probably looks good

https://youtu.be/Mm-Vu6YW3D8

[young void]

You can promt ones ai of choice to make a image then use that in a ai to 3d model tool like tripo or varco

These where the originals

Grok is cool cause it can take away or add to an image created

Your model had black eyes that it removed for me. But 343 being Microsoft i figured had to much likeness

[steel stream]

Yeah I was very surprised with it, but it’s got a crazy bitrate lol

[young void]

Then can export to glb/fbx

[edgy laurel]

I love how this is just me now lol

[cosmic gazelle]

michael did u see what i got

[steel stream]

You buy an Arc GPU

[shell void]

nop

[steel stream]

I’ve got intel UHD 730 + B580 + A380 in my nas

[trim agate]

But it’s not green ?!?!?!?

[cosmic gazelle]

found some dude who didn't know what he was selling and got a titan black for $37

not an amazing deal for hte performance but titan blacks are pretty rare it seems like

[steel stream]

Sorry UHD 770

[steel stream]

Just a neat collectors item for $37 nice find

[steel stream]

It’s blue

[shell void]

i dont think theyre rare, but $37 is a decent price for a couple of days of fun

[cosmic gazelle]

just not a ton of listings compared to, say, the 780 ti

[shell void]

it perturbs me to see vram with no cooling at all

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm assuming the prices are high because of scarcity because 780 tis sell for like the same price, and titan blacks have sold on ebay for $80 recently which is stupidly overpriced for what it is

[cosmic gazelle]

all of fermi and kepler did this afaik

[shell void]

yeah nobody really cared about vram cooling until gddr6

[cosmic gazelle]

my 550 ti gets toasty on the back when under load

probably the physically hottest to the touch card i own

[steel stream]

I love to see mem so far from the die

[frank zealot]

At most it got a pad

[trim agate]

What about my green photos on immich

[steel stream]

SOL I guess

[cosmic gazelle]

in all fairness it appears to perform around on par with an rx 580, and i bought an rx 580 for like the same price

so it's not even that bad of a deal performance wise necessarily

[trim agate]

Can’t read that I’m too busy troubleshooting why my 1070 sucks

[brisk jolt]

trust bro ill get the NVL B390 APU config as a home server

[shell void]

there's no practical reason to buy a titan black in 2026 brother you don't need to fool yourself

it's okay to buy it because you think it's cool

[steel stream]

PTL mini pc would go crazy

[brisk jolt]

yeah im planning on grabbing two nvl systems one being the b390 apu

[steel stream]

Nope must be all business all the time

The age of the mullet is over

No more party in the front

[merry stirrup]

new pc build time pr

[brisk jolt]

i wonder if I want to get a case strictly for APU or get one that still lets me slap a 5060ti in

[merry stirrup]

39.02 minutes

[steel stream]

Damn ok ok

[merry stirrup]

and it’s actually timed by not me so that’s real

[steel stream]

NG+ or glitchless?

[merry stirrup]

it’s gotta be scanned in at the start of and end of every build

[cosmic gazelle]

i wanted a cool hwbot card and something that would bottleneck the fx 6300 in oc testing, which this accomplishes both

[merry stirrup]

glitch less everything works

[brisk jolt]

was this at work

[merry stirrup]

yes

[steel stream]

Noice

[brisk jolt]

i want my intern to also be a SI

i hope it is

[merry stirrup]

building is fun

[shell void]

not bad employim

[merry stirrup]

that was my 5th+3RMA’s fixed today

pr before was 46 minutes

[steel stream]

Employim

[brisk jolt]

we all love buildin

[merry stirrup]

yes but it hurts your hands by the 5th one in a row as

[brisk jolt]

PCs, keyboards, model kits, lego, whatever

[shell void]

i hate the process of building tbh

[steel stream]

Break out the lotion

[shell void]

i just want someone else to assemble it for me so that i can tune and test it

[brisk jolt]

i find building to be fine but disassembling is a pain

[merry stirrup]

i do all 3

i build i do repairs and i teardown

[brisk jolt]

that said i think im fine with disassembling pcs

[merry stirrup]

i primarily repair and teardown but i built pcs today for fun

[cosmic gazelle]

i think i could get a sub 1 hour build done if i had a case that didn't suck, your company should hire me

[brisk jolt]

but keyboards are kinda ass to disassemble imo

[merry stirrup]

record of the company is 23 minutes

[cosmic gazelle]

no gpu?

[merry stirrup]

although a different computer than the one i was building

tower cooler and a smaller case, i’m building full atx with 360 aio

[brisk jolt]

clock in that 22min59sec gang

[cosmic gazelle]

cuz like, theoretically you could just do intel stock cooler and no gpu and build in like 15 mins lmao

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/max-verstappen-f1-formule-1-gif-15087359750872636720

[brisk jolt]

i think he also has to cable manage the case

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but not much cabling to do in that scenario

[merry stirrup]

that doesn’t exist here

you’re talking if i was building my own computer

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm aware i was just saying hypothetically lol

[brisk jolt]

but if its a simple open air bench yeah unboxing included its basically 10 fastest

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm doing that tomorrow

swapping the potentially dying fx 6300 to a 990fx

[merry stirrup]

building something like this

basically exactly what i built 5 of today

[cosmic gazelle]

fan extension cables might be the ugliest shit that exists

[trim agate]

I got this in 23mins

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm gonna attempt to launch arc raiders on it hehe

[merry stirrup]

i’d say 39m is a good time

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/tractor-gif-25941129

[merry stirrup]

we will see if i pr further throughout this week and next

~30 minutes i think is perfect

[cosmic gazelle]

this is what was happening on my gigabyte 970 board, hence why i got a 990fx

[merry stirrup]

like can’t get any better

[cosmic gazelle]

my screwup portion would be fpio

always takes me several minutes longer than it should lmao

[merry stirrup]

only 2 connectors no way

[merry stirrup]

sometimes only 1

power and reset or just power

[cosmic gazelle]

if the new board remedies the issue idk what to do with the old board that will have been proven defective

because you can't like

repair degraded components

[brisk jolt]

ok nice i exit the wrong side of the station

[steel stream]

I think an issue for you is run to run variation

Too many variations

Possible combinations

[merry stirrup]

there’s like standard builds we do

the one pictured is standard with no changes and that is how i’m counting it

one with custom chosen parts like fans or power supply change it a lot

[steel stream]

Ah ok

[merry stirrup]

fans,aio,psu come preinstalled although not that helpful

if i get one with a custom psu that means i have to take the old one out

same for aio and fans

so it’s helpful but not

company record for one of those is indeed right around 30 minutes so

gotta cut off 10 minutes and we’re good

[steel stream]

It’s in the bag floppa you got this

[merry stirrup]

tomorrow perhaps

that 39 minute one was my last for the day

maybe i’d do better if it was my second build or the third i try harded on

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate took me 9 mins

Ey chat any thoughts on ngreedia auto tuning?

[pure garnet]

waste of time

[merry stirrup]

it is unusable on a 1200p display

/1080p

okay not unusable but just annoying

the header for the section has a sideways scroll that you cannot use the arrow keys for

so i thought they just deleted 1/2 of the settings

[lunar comet]

Msi afterburner the way to go?

[pure garnet]

shout out the hero for straight up lying on the memory page

[pure garnet]

auto anything gpu wise is just going to be like 25mhz

[merry stirrup]

lmaooo im crinnee

[lunar comet]

But can I use the nvidia app instead of msi to overclock it?

[merry stirrup]

whatever floats yo goat

[pure garnet]

i don't see why not but i don't see why would you use the nvidia app

[cosmic gazelle]

got cachyos goin on the core 2 duo laptop

[lunar comet]

No like manually tuning it from there

[pure garnet]

i don't even see clock or vram options

i would just install afterburner like you've done for nvidia gpus for 20 years

[lunar comet]

Oh shit i thought it had that

[merry stirrup]

lol

yoko may be right on this one

[cosmic gazelle]

do you have an ln2 bios why can you set power limit to a billion

[merry stirrup]

trade it in big dawg

oh hollon

i will see

[turbid locust]

4400 is meta anyway

[pure garnet]

having a better bin than setsuna on retainer is worth

[merry stirrup]

spent like an hour and a half fucking with a stupid puter with a 9950x3d w/bad io die

[turbid locust]

elaborate on bad

[merry stirrup]

puter was fine in every stress test for any length until you stopped the stress

[turbid locust]

fire

[merry stirrup]

let us guess why

lived like that a while ig but y eah its kaboomed

cores were cool io die was not and probably "died"

[south shuttle]

that’s like my micron ddr5 ram oc doing well in stress tests until i left it idle on windows

[merry stirrup]

twas a micron pc but ram was fine

[brisk jolt]

can vouch i got 10 more fps on valorant range

[merry stirrup]

it would only freeze during transition to idle

[merry stirrup]

yeah it was a bitch to put it back on LOL

absolutely terrible

[turbid locust]

LF3 just isn’t good but it’s cheap so mainstream bullshit

[merry stirrup]

i however built a puter in 39 minutes shortly after so it was fire

[turbid locust]

I guess it’s good for people that don’t swap CPUs constantly tbf

[merry stirrup]

bro this was once

[south shuttle]

i heard if you take 99.9% pure sand from silicon valley and fry it on a pan with the cpu it’ll fix it and turn it into a diamond bin 6600 1:1

[turbid locust]

but mine practically doubled in volume at the same rpms within like 6 months

[merry stirrup]

fire

there was a puter that caught on fire i tore apart

vrm decided it wanted to fuse itself to ground and light itself on fire

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

did NOT get a photo but its fine

[turbid locust]

what POS board didn’t have the VRMs for a fuckass Ryzen chip

[merry stirrup]

just failure

decent 12 phase, the one i did 8400 on

[turbid locust]

sus

[lunar comet]

Is it normal for my cpu to run hotter when undervolted? Its set to -36 +200mhz but when i checked hwinfo its 4-6C hotter than before i undervolted.

After a while it settles down to -2C cooler than stock.

[merry stirrup]

50$ less than the tomahawk if you want a 4 dimmer that does 8400 and is ugly for no reason

that might be the best budget pick tho

for US people

[lunar comet]

Does this look good?

[turbid locust]

I’m gonna test 4400 unironically soon and if it’s good I’m gonna pioneer it and might swap to some fuckass 4 dimmer LMAO

[merry stirrup]

looks like 120w 9800x3d

[brisk jolt]

its better than my 7800 tune and like… 6w more efficient due to vsoc

[lunar comet]

not like a low freq for it? All good?

[turbid locust]

I think it’s only practical if your chip does 2200 fclk

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate 3 hours wasted and disappointment levels at 100%

[brisk jolt]

its a better tune for me since this chip has good fclk and shit imc

ok nice google maps scammed me

watched a cool video and now really, really want to get my 8950 working

[merry stirrup]

not for 120w no

[lunar comet]

No, its bad?

[turbid locust]

just use your computer

[lunar comet]

Just making sure i didnt do anything wrong to it. First time undervolting

[turbid locust]

You’re on one of the fastest gaming CPUs on the planet, unless you’re running a 5090 at 1080p it literally does not matter

yeah it was 10/10 disappointmnt

this why every netizen hates ns

[slim pebble]

They have the new 64MB BIOS, nearly all of the early AM5 boards were 32. @topaz veldt new Glacial is 64MB as well.

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate https://youtu.be/DKm2_D6RiXE?si=8FZwLkasBFOxzTJm u need to do this fr

[trim agate]

TLDR the video for me pls

[brisk jolt]

he tried base render of 15fps then experimented with mfg and lossless scaling fg

[pallid marsh]

then we all threw up from the latency

[lunar comet]

Bruh im so stupid. I was feeling good about my -36 co being stable til i found that whenever i boot the bios setting resets the co back to -20 everytime.

[turbid locust]

If you’re not going to bother properly stress testing it just set -10 and go about your day

[lunar comet]

I did corecycler and occt tests with the 36 and it went well. Dont know why it reset itself. Mb i just opened not tested aida

[turbid locust]

https://github.com/irusanov/SMUDebugTool

Tool that will let you change CO and PBO values in OS, will save you time testing

[lunar comet]

I got the -36 from this but it resets back to -20 after shutting down and booting

[turbid locust]

What motherboard?

[lunar comet]

Gigabyte aorus b850

[turbid locust]

Hmmm

[lunar comet]

I searched up undervolt support and it does.

[turbid locust]

Gigabyte is the only vendor I haven’t owned an AM5 board for so far basically so

[lunar comet]

I got the -36 by changing the co by -2 and running cb r23 after applying. 37 and it causes cinebench errrors

[turbid locust]

R23 is not a stability test

If it doesn’t survive multiple hours of corecycler and ycruncher it is not real lol

[lunar comet]

Ran occt and corecycler overnight. No problems

[turbid locust]

-36 all core feels quite low

[brisk jolt]

inb4 he only did corecycler for 5 mins each core

[turbid locust]

were you still gaining score in R23 at each step?

[lunar comet]

Yep

Reached 23k+

[lunar comet]

Overnight so it ran 15 iterations

[turbid locust]

For my 9850X3D, all core scaling fell off a cliff beyond -10 or -15 or so

The difference between stock and -10 was much more than the difference between -10 and -20

But the 9850X3Ds are basically pre-binned so less scaling is kind of expected?

[lunar comet]

I have ryzen master installed so i think it might be causing a conflict. Have yet to test it later

[turbid locust]

Yeah if RM is auto applying things that could be the issue

I would recommend uninstalling RM entirely and just check your CO values with SMUDebugTool

[lunar comet]

Yep i just uninstalled it. Im going to reapply my co and try it out later. If it still resets to 20 then ill just leave it at that.

[turbid locust]

Yeah probably wouldn’t be a bad idea

[brisk jolt]

might also partially be bcs its boosting higher stock but thats more of an opinion than actual fact

[turbid locust]

Yeah I mean the 9850X3Ds are just factory binned 9800X3Ds

It makes sense that they’d have less headroom

There’s 9800X3Ds out there that can practically do 9850X3D clocks and voltages, just silicon lottery. iirc @shell void ‘s 9800X3D is basically a sleeper 9850X3D

[lunar comet]

Oh and just fyi I use smudt and set all core co (decreasing by 1) and run r23 for errors (confirming the score increass everytime). If it caused an error i revert it back to the previous value and run occt stress test before running corecycler overnight and after no issues i have set up aida64 but havent used it yet.

[turbid locust]

Decreasing 1 at a time is kind of a waste of time, I would go down in steps of 5 and then go back up in increments of 2 when you run into stability

[lunar comet]

I see

[turbid locust]

For example, -10, -15, -20, and let’s say you run into stability at -25, go up to -23 and try again

[lunar comet]

I was originally planning per core but im not quite sure how to do that.

[turbid locust]

set per core values and run corecycler to run only on whatever core you’re testing

[turbid locust]

I think corecycler has an auto feature that’ll set it for you nowadays but I don’t remember

Per core CO usually isn’t worth the effort

[lunar comet]

I thought itd be more precise

[turbid locust]

It would theoretically maximize your single core performance but in a so minuscule way it’s not worth it

Again, the last 0.4% performance quite literally doesn’t matter unless you’re running a 5090 for 1080p 600hz or something

[lunar comet]

Yep. Ill do more tests later today. Im going to expect a value higher than -36 but thats fine. But so far undervolting isnt a risk to the cpu right like overclocking?

[turbid locust]

Nothing you’re going to adjust in PBO settings will hurt the cpu, just cause instability.

[brisk jolt]

you need to set a value, then theres a feature where it’ll decrease the CO if its not stable

so you cant find the max limit

also in the end you still need to manually go set that core’s CO to what they suggested

[turbid locust]

back in my day corecycler just cycled cores

[maiden prairie]

Feels like overclocking has been useless for years

[brisk jolt]

i dont recommend setting a very low CO then testing bcs if the core is unstable it’ll just freeze the PC from what Ive found

[maiden prairie]

Back in the days you could gain 30-40% with overclocking but now it's a lot of headaches for basically no gain... And even less visible gains...

[lunar comet]

Ive had that happen but that doesnt necessarily hurt it no?

[lunar comet]

So do yall think this way of testing is fine?

[brisk jolt]

am i seeing this wrong why is mfg x4 having less latency on this wtf

[turbid locust]

Daily use for CPUs? Yeah for sure. GPUs can still see marginal gains depending on the card. Ram overclocking is where it’s at nowadays. Can see 50%+ gains in 1% lows.

[brisk jolt]

ok nvm apparently mfg isnt working or smth

but getting better latency in the overlay on x2 compared to closed….. wtf

[turbid locust]

Did dynamic FG ever release

[brisk jolt]

yes

[turbid locust]

Word

[maiden prairie]

Didn't know about the ram, that's neat, any articles/video benchmarks?

And yeah gpu it's cool undervolting to get it to run cooler when you have a noisy one I guess

[brisk jolt]

idk if its the dynamic fg limiting it or its a game problem

i set it to 400 fps and its like nothing changed

[turbid locust]

I mean GPUs can see uplifts legitimately. Undervolt and overclocking a 5070Ti can see a 10% jump in games. As far as ram goes, Ram OC has always been beneficial. Let me find a video from @tall igloo . Reputable OC’er and was the one that basically got me into overclocking.

https://youtu.be/JeN7pB0I1WI?si=5WVJlgth66xH5nAm

This is a graph from him as well, generally applies to DDR5 as well.

[maiden prairie]

Thanks I'll take a look

Maybe it will make this shitty mh wilds runs ok lol

[turbid locust]

Mainly want to point out here that 3000MT/s full tuned beating a 4400MT/s XMP lol

It won’t. I don’t even expect Zen 6 to be limited either. They’re supposedly going to the interposer they used for Strix Halo

Yeah ram is weird rn. That isn’t S8B afaik so probably not able to sell it to an enthusiast/OC’er either.

[green marsh]

and people would offer too low for https://www.gskill.com/product/165/166/1536561087/F4-3200C14Q-64GTZR-EOL as well, if even someone would actually want a quad kit

[turbid locust]

I mean nobody is really willing to pay current market price for DDR4 rn

hm apparently FH6 is bringing dynamic road conditions due to weather and better AI

https://tenor.com/view/leon-kennedy-eyeballs-looking-binoculars-resident-evil-gif-5218614413222692600

[green marsh]

to be honest, i didn't want stupid market prices. but maybe 100 euros for the 32GB 3000 kit would have been fine. Oh well, i guess i will have to pick some DDR4 parts to use with my DDR4 memory 😄

[turbid locust]

Yeah I’m planning to buy day 1. I think I may buy it on Xbox instead of steam so I can play it on both

If that’s how that works.

[brisk jolt]

i dont think im gonna justify an over 50% increase in price for the premium edition

just for day 1

[green marsh]

i guess it's a 'steal' with current 5800X3D pricing, but still dumb 😄

[turbid locust]

For me it depends on how the game is

Also I meant day 1 like official release not early access lol

[brisk jolt]

i may or may not try sailing the 8th sea for cheaper steam key

[turbid locust]

Usually not a thing for brand new games

I think I’ll just buy it via Xbox and freely play it between my PC and Xbox

Despite how much I hate the Xbox app on PC lol

[brisk jolt]

oo 007 first light is out 27th may

[turbid locust]

No interest. Heard the campaign is only 20 hours.

[brisk jolt]

as in visit one of those “sellers” sellin the steam key

[turbid locust]

$70 for 20 hours ain’t it lol

[brisk jolt]

where’re you seeing $70?

[turbid locust]

Steam?

[brisk jolt]

this singapore dollar man

46 USD

[turbid locust]

It’s $69.99 in the US lol. Region based pricing I guess.

[brisk jolt]

oh… damn

how much is FH6 for you?

[turbid locust]

$69.99

Games are just 70 bucks nowadays

[brisk jolt]

seems about right

[turbid locust]

I’m expecting GTA 6 to be $80 or $90

probably $80

[brisk jolt]

im expecting it to be 100 lol

[turbid locust]

Maybe.

GTA 5 was $70 in 2013 when games were normally $50

[brisk jolt]

I find it weird 007 for me is 24 bucks cheaper

[turbid locust]

Some publishers have specific pricing based on region

[frail beacon]

Whatever they price it at, everyone will buy it

i hope the base game is cheap. They can get back a lot of money and keep minting more money for a decade if they keep their onboarding price low

[turbid locust]

With that being said from now on I will be asking you to gift me games that are cheaper and I will somehow pay you otherwise lol

[turbid locust]

Base game will not be cheap

I’m expecting $80 for base and $90+ for some form of premium addition

[frail beacon]

Change your region to India and see the discounts

[turbid locust]

Unfortunately I will be purchasing the game twice. They do it on purpose lol.

[frail beacon]

I would say 70 probably

[turbid locust]

It’s billing address based nowadays

[frail beacon]

Xbox helix should have released this year

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/uncanny-cat-uncanny-valley-dark-wtf-gif-14708455975531353777

[turbid locust]

They’d need to sell like 2 million fewer copies to break even if it’s $80 vs $70. Assuming that $1 billion cost is accurate

[frail beacon]

Oh really?
That's sad

[turbid locust]

Regardless they’re not expecting to make money in game sales, they’re expecting to make the money via microtransactions again

I bet they lean REALLY hard into GTA Online this go around

[frail beacon]

Exactly
So for that they need more users. 70 seems like a sweet spot.

[turbid locust]

They’ll probably make the money grind even more miserable lol

Which is fine by me because that was my favorite part of GTA Online

[brisk jolt]

nah not really

even if its 100 they know people will still buy it- thats how hyper gta6 is

[frail beacon]

I'll hopefully have a job by the time it releases on PC and then I can buy it lmao

I hope it has regional pricing

[turbid locust]

They are not worried about the amount of people that will buy the game. The game will sell millions of copies day 1 regardless if it’s $70 or $80

It’s literally the most hyped game, potentially of all time but definitely of the decade

[frail beacon]

$80 in my currency (₹) is just outrageous for a game

[turbid locust]

So was $70 in the US in 2013

Yet they made like a billion week 1 lol

[brisk jolt]

should i go grab my brake kit downstairs rn im kinda lazy

[frail beacon]

RDR3 will not be as hyped as gta 6 but it will be better than gta 6 is what I think

[brisk jolt]

what rdr3 💀

[turbid locust]

Eh, I don’t think so personally

Also yeah what RDR3, they kinda finished the story lol

[brisk jolt]

im anticipating cyberpunk 2 more than gta6 ngl

[turbid locust]

I’ve owned 2077 since 2022 and I have yet to get more than like 3hrs into the story.

[frail beacon]

The storyline either following Jack marston or the events leading up to blackwater incident, after which we'll play as Arthur again.

[brisk jolt]

@turbid locust is it even possible to send/receive games from an account in another region

[turbid locust]

I dunno lol

Never tried

[civic reef]

@low sorrel @smoky orbit My actual laptop arrived!!!!

[indigo walrus]

If you're talking about Steam and many other online game stores, the answer is "it depends."

[brisk jolt]

ty goat

[brisk jolt]

@turbid locust jst curious r u gonna be playing forza on a controller?

[turbid locust]

Yeah of course

[brisk jolt]

i might be doing both, controller for when im lazy to drag the rig over

[turbid locust]

Oh. I forget people do like wheel setups

I thought you were asking controller or KBM lmao

[brisk jolt]

kb=ayrton senna technique

[turbid locust]

If I were into sim racing or more Motorsport type racing games, maybe, but I just play Arcade racing games so controller is fine lol

[brisk jolt]

i tried controller on ACE ytd and i didnt even make it through a corner without spinning

[spiral quarry]

Are you getting FH6?

[turbid locust]

I am

[spiral quarry]

ah nice

[turbid locust]

I am a Forza horizon enjoyer

[spiral quarry]

let me know how the wheel is since it's 450 degreee support now

[turbid locust]

This will be my first even number forza horizon (I never played 2 or 4 for no apparent reason)

[brisk jolt]

definitely just not premium for d1

[spiral quarry]

I got till next week to decide

[brisk jolt]

I tried 4 on the 9070XT and it refused to work- Then with my current card it does work but its not a plug and play with wheel

[turbid locust]

Interesting

[turbid locust]

also I googled it, it’s an “Xbox Play Anywhere” title so I can buy it on Xbox once and play it on PC too

[brisk jolt]

rn my fav game to race on is ACE and thats it lol

I hope FH6 will be a fine addition as the simcade

[spiral quarry]

Saw the videos on the new update

Def going back to it haha

But I do have to rework every single keybind

[brisk jolt]

i dont even race peeps on it I basically only hit the nurburging and practice

[turbid locust]

@brisk jolt the version you need for early access for FH6 is $120 lmaooo

[spiral quarry]

right now what I have but I wanna add more buttons

[civic reef]

Okay so the laptop has undisclosed aesthetic defects

Small crack on the front right corner of the body

Tiny bulge on the side bezels, identical place on both sides

Thinkpad Logo on the inside is.. Kinda scratched??

[brisk jolt]

yeah i dont find 4 days worth that 50% premium

[turbid locust]

70% for me lol

[brisk jolt]

oh yeah… its 70%

[frail beacon]

Does that also include xbox handhelds btw

[turbid locust]

If they’re windows based yeah

[frail beacon]

Ahh alright

[civic reef]

My laptop has a touchscreen!!!

[late atlas]

But you can cool exclusive car (which will most likely not be exclusive as you'll probably get it from an event or wheelspin down the line) and car packs and expansion packs

£60 Vs £110

1 of the expansion packs is probably gonna be either Lego or hot wheels dlc

[brisk jolt]

im not a super/hypercar fan

Im literally a S2000 GT86 GR86 and NAX NA1/NA2 glazer

[late atlas]

I like my old 80/90s sports cars too

[brisk jolt]

the only supercar I’d use deadass is the GR GT

[late atlas]

I'm more of a, r33, Subaru impreza, nsx, Silvia glazer

[brisk jolt]

r33 is fine and you didnt specify which of the other 3

[late atlas]

For me it's the huracan performante as they did a really good job with the sound design in fh4

[late atlas]

Subaru impreza I like all of them, from 1990-2016 as it's my dream car, the nsx R if they have it in the game again, Silvia all of them again

Like irl I want a 1994 Subaru impreza

Or a 2003 or a 2016

Specifically those 3 models from those years

[brisk jolt]

i love the GC8 and same with the GRB

But I’d pick the GR Yaris/Corolla over the GRB

[late atlas]

Yeah they're awesome, poor man's 22b

[late atlas]

I like the gr Yaris too, I like the shape of it

For modern sports car, Im sorry but I love the Mk5 supra/gr supra

And the new honda civics look cool as well imo

[brisk jolt]

I also like the GR supra but its not glaze level

[late atlas]

I think I like the aftermarket support for it and how versatile that car is, I've seen people use it for everything, from drag to drift to track racing

And I'm guessing it will have quite a fair amount of customisation in fh6 too or at least I hope

[brisk jolt]

its def a top car in supergt

[late atlas]

Yesss

The Lamborghini sesto elemento is really cool as well

Ive seen that irl, it's just as amazing if not more than in game

[brisk jolt]

i forgot which this was

[late atlas]

Toyota and Porsche always seem to make the best cars for GT racing, Toyota's endurance cars are also insane

@brisk jolt Lamborghini diablo GT

[brisk jolt]

this is the latest rex

[late atlas]

I love the livery

[brisk jolt]

yeah but FH6 is tearing up mountains, testers have said preferably you really dont want too much HP

[late atlas]

Thankfully due to fh's deep customisability with the technical stuff like aero, gears, braking force and stuff, I'm sure you can make any car work

[brisk jolt]

ideally its more final drive and shorter gears

[late atlas]

Yeah it'll be fun experimenting and racing up and down the mountain

I don't really think any of my friends are going to get fh6, maybe one but even singleplayer that game is so fun

[brisk jolt]

theres not really any long straights to abuse high HP tbh

[late atlas]

I'm sure they'll have some drag strips or something as they always do

But you can feel and see it's more the windy mountain roads and the detailed streets of Japan is where the main focus is

Great opportunity for drifting

And touge racing

[brisk jolt]

tbh i dont like full drifting I prefer powerslides/slip angle

[late atlas]

I just like drifting but to initiate a drift I almost always use e brake

I'm so 100%ing fh6

[brisk jolt]

thats the typical american way

in JP they mainly use clutch kick and momentum

[late atlas]

Yeah yeah
