[pure garnet]

better angle

so you’d need some super tall case

[brisk jolt]

can you show how much ur 5070ti takes up

i forgot which model you have tho

[pure garnet]

i’m lying in bed but the trio is a dual slot card

[brisk jolt]

damn really?

[pure garnet]

2.2 or some shit but yeah

[brisk jolt]

looks like 2.5

send me a pic when you can ill “estimate” if theres enough space

[pure garnet]

i’ll dm you one in the am

[brisk jolt]

alright thanks

[low sorrel]

@frank cypress did you know that the 5950x can still get 18000k in r23 with no fans plugged in

I accidentally unplugged the fan hub when plugging front panel io

@frank cypress oh my God the res

[frank cypress]

huh?

what about the res?

[low sorrel]

Look at how much evaporated

Do you not see the waterline

[frank cypress]

it didn't evaporate...

bro turn off the pc

watch it all come back

[teal orbit]

bros has the water at the triple point

[low sorrel]

Oh there's still a good quatar missing

[frank cypress]

how fast are you running the pump?

[teal orbit]

🇶🇦

[low sorrel]

10%

[frank cypress]

hmmm

idk give it a bit

i doubt it's evaporating that fast

up until i gave it to you, it was hardly lower if lower than the last time i topped it

there's probably some stuck in the cpu block and tubing

[brisk jolt]

jerry vs “must be the water”

[low sorrel]

I remember it was much less of an air bubble then it is right now

Eh I have to drain it anyways to add the rad

[green marsh]

unfortunately it is stupidly expensive on used market

[frank cypress]

let me warn you now

that shit is a BITCH to add in

[brisk jolt]

@pure garnet lowk tempted me to get either the apex or this

[low sorrel]

Is that why you sold it to me without the rad

[brisk jolt]

i hope its never available in my region

[green marsh]

also me thinking what do i do with my spare RAM 😄
4x16GB 3200CL14 b-die
2x8GB 2133CL15
2x16GB 2400 laptop RAM
8GB 3200 laptop RAM
4GB 2400 laptop RAM

[frank cypress]

no

it's because i took it out for the quad 2080ti, and it just wasn't worth my time to re-add back in because i wasn't running a full custom loop anymore, just the cpu

but if you are gonna add it back in

use the 45 degree adapters

otherwise, the tubing i gave you will be too tight to make such a tight bend

fuck it was so cool when it was a full custom loop 🥀

nevermind the upside down bottom rad fans

[low sorrel]

Also how do you drain this thing

[frank cypress]

drain port at the bottom of the

res*

[low sorrel]

this thing?

[frank cypress]

yes

[low sorrel]

And I'm assuming the port at the top is for filling

[frank cypress]

yes

[low sorrel]

Hypothetically couldn't you add the rad without draining it

[frank cypress]

you can try

i wouldn't recommend it

but you could definitely try

it was hard enough to do dry

i doubt you'd want to do it filled, but it is your pc

[brisk jolt]

“i have the pc full of water. like, full of water”

[green marsh]

hm... i wonder what is going on with the B650E-F rear USB-C connectors. When i connected my NVMe USB box to the Gen 2 USB-C port (number 8 in picture), i only got 350MB/s. Literally just took the drive as is, plugged it in front USB-C connector, 750MB/s... Oh well, i guess i will use front USB-C with this drive

[hidden kite]

Are there any different speed when using port 10

[green marsh]

haven't tried, but i am more annoyed that gen 2 port should be able to work at gen 2 speeds, when front gen 2 port works just fine. To be honest, i was thinking my adapter was broken, but instead it is the port having issues

port 10 is right speed (above 700MB/s)

and now port 8 is going fast too. 🤷‍♂️

[hidden kite]

Sometimes external drives don’t work as intedeed

[lunar comet]

Is the 5080 a big difference from the 5070Ti? Im looking for an nvidia gpu with 16gb vram (or more).

[brisk jolt]

Primarily no, but it can be with manual tweaking

[lunar comet]

I see. Ill wait for the 6000 series gpus hopefully next year. But how about a ti super card?

[brisk jolt]

don't even think about 50 super

[lunar comet]

Tier or series?

[brisk jolt]

the entire series

[lunar comet]

So a good tier option is either 70 Ti or 80?

[brisk jolt]

yes

I’d just grab the 5070ti

[lunar comet]

Im upgrading from my 4070S. Ill wait instead fro the 60 series

[brisk jolt]

2028

[lunar comet]

Shit

Confirmed?

[spiral quarry]

With the current market for dram 2028 makes sense. Speculation for now.

[lunar comet]

Ill prbbly have enough money for a 6090 at that point but i think its going to be worth the wait. My 4070S is still a solid card.

[green bolt]

https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30412

What is this lol 1 million ai rewrite just merged in

[south shuttle]

Keep 4070s

If you upgrade to anything better now you'll pay a lot more per performance than you did for your current gpu

unless you need more vram

4070s to 5070 ti is almost like upgrading from a 5070 to 5070 ti

and 5080 is not a lot faster than 5070 ti

only noteworthy upgrade i'd say would be a 5090 or bw rtx pro 6000 but both cost $$$$$$$

[lunar comet]

Yea thats why i decided to wait for a 6070Ti or a 6080

[shell void]

that’s at least a couple of dollars o_o

[wraith steeple]

Itsa stormin' hard now

[brisk jolt]

im still not sure what board I want lol

[wraith steeple]

[brisk jolt]

Like do I just get a normal 4 dimmer white board and be happy or snipe a X870E Apex and be autistic

[wraith steeple]

It's like thundering and lightning right above my house

[brisk jolt]

Rainy season for ya as well?

[wraith steeple]

Yep

Also a concerning consecutive lightning and thunder too

[brisk jolt]

Im thankful for the rainy season because otherwise its hot here always XD

[shell void]

you know you need the crosshair 2006

[brisk jolt]

How much is that compared to the dark hero

[shell void]

$800 vs $700

[brisk jolt]

brb gonna pair a x870e dark hero with a 7500f

why is it 1k post tax

[shell void]

optimal config

[brisk jolt]

ill stick to trying to snipe that apex for 694.20 thanks

[slim pebble]

Depends on your use case, what is your goal? You could be sane and just buy a $200 B850 board to play video games. If you have no intention of messing with memory timings 24/7, you don’t need an APEX.

[topaz veldt]

expensive board is expensive

Anyone pre-order the ASUS 2006 board?

[brisk jolt]

Im between a simple aesthetic white board or an apex to ball it, making the mpower as a simple bench

holy

[shell void]

@pure garnet the pixel grid filters on this pocket are awesome

[pure garnet]

i await your copy excitedly

[shell void]

i am way too lazy to board swap just to keep using the same cpu

[pure garnet]

9950x3d

[shell void]

that's the same CPU

[brisk jolt]

@pure garnet lowk do i deadass bomb him 694.20

[trim agate]

its marvel rivals time

[shell void]

im so glad this thing has the screen filters because some games look horrendous when oversaturated

[trim agate]

or is it valorant time

[pure garnet]

that’s a decent chunk of money

[shell void]

the sand in world two of super mario bros 3. looks radioactive

[trim agate]

someone lmk!!

[brisk jolt]

eggxactly

[pure garnet]

you should get the waifu from gigabyte

[dense burrow]

Hi I need help finding the right authenticator app Microsoft uses on PC I think I used the wrong one can anyone help please

[brisk jolt]

send one here and ill take it

if the price isnt bad like over here ill deadass do it

[pure garnet]

https://www.techpowerup.com/349071/gigabyte-launches-aorus-ari-b850-motherboard?amp

[brisk jolt]

launches after computex

but that same b850 albeit shittier is retailing for 350usd which is batshit geh

[pure garnet]

good things come to those who wait

[brisk jolt]

if it launches there for like 200 send me one sis

[pure garnet]

it’ll probably be like 250-300 since the aorus elite is $210

[brisk jolt]

i wont consider if its above 300

but if you can snipe me a cheaper apex lmk

the goal is below 550 USD for an apex

[pure garnet]

yeah but what are import fees

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-back-dog-golden-retriever-back-golden-retriever-scared-golden-retriever-disgusted-gif-26048691

[pure garnet]

my apex was 450 usd before tax

[brisk jolt]

how much tax

[pure garnet]

like another 30-40 bucks

[brisk jolt]

not bad, shipping’s the final boss

[placid blaze]

people trying to get me to use last.fm

[sharp heart]

chat, how much of a difference does matte vs glossy make on an oled

anyone with personal experience

[placid blaze]

I do actually

matte vs glossy matters less than the peak brightness of the display, but you can get around that by carefully controlling your room's light

glossy is better if you can't control your room's light as much but is susceptible to glare

[sharp heart]

what about clarity? ive seen people talk about glossy being clearer but that doesnt seem like something you can actually see

[shell void]

you can see, it’s very obvious

matte displays look grainy, greasy, and less vibrant

it’s a compromise that you make if defined reflections are a dealbreaker to you

[sharp heart]

no direct light on the display, light controlled room

so ig its glossy > matte

[shell void]

glossy is the obvious pick in that situation yeah

[south shuttle]

although you get some pro’s as well

like lower or more diffused reflections

stains don’t look as bad on matte

[placid blaze]

yeah I have a glossy OLED TV and matte OLED monitors and tbh both of them are fine

[south shuttle]

cheap glossy is certainly worse than cheap matte

as it literally acts as a mirror

[shell void]

there are no cheap glossy monitors thankfully because it’s niche right now

[south shuttle]

pretty much anything that’s not tandem

is a cheap glossy

as of oleds

unacceptable reflections, blacks get ruined by indirect lighting conditions

and direct will break havoc

[sharp heart]

o shi i shouldve mentioned, looking at cheaper oleds, 400€ range

[south shuttle]

1:inf contrast only to be ruined by this

[placid blaze]

I have the Samsung G50SF's on my desk atm which can be had sometimes for around that

[sharp heart]

that's the 180hz version right

[placid blaze]

yeah

[south shuttle]

@shell void

an average 4th gen qd-oleds manages like 20% better but it’s still abysmal imo

[placid blaze]

the only thing I'll recommend on these panels is that you should update the firmware when you get them so you can actually do 10-bit color at 180hz, which isn't available on the firmware that ships with them, but it's okay because the firmware is free and all you need is a flash drive to do the update

[sharp heart]

might be able to squeeze out an ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG / AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2 on the highest end i can maybe afford

[placid blaze]

that said, the blacks only hit that perfect OLED black in a completely dark room

[south shuttle]

A lil dusted up matte lg lcd

it’s also in a brighter environment, the oled (ag326ud) is behind closed curtains

[south shuttle]

rip your blacks even when your room is pitch black

until you turn on your pc and it has rgb

[placid blaze]

my PC has a solid side panel and sits under my desk

[south shuttle]

keep your room very clean so you don’t have walls of dust forming where your dust filters sit

[placid blaze]

my TV definitely does the OLED thing better than these monitors do but that's mostly because TV panel tech is miles beyond what you'll get out of most monitors

[placid blaze]

I generally do but I also run air purifiers that are meant for a room twice the size of this one, and I have two of them

[south shuttle]

neat

[cosmic gazelle]

man i just want fh6 already

why they gotta release it on game pass so late

[south shuttle]

$$$$

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i know i'm just whining

[brisk jolt]

oled is amazing

[south shuttle]

it is

[spiral quarry]

Damn they really geoblocked the stream again for me

[south shuttle]

but gimme microled plsss

[brisk jolt]

RIP USA

If you want I can inv you to a DC I can stream it to you

or just call me since my dude’s boutta go sleep

[spiral quarry]

I got a vpn I use so that is one solution

[brisk jolt]

👍

[spiral quarry]

and I refuse to pay for NBCs Peacock just to watch the Imsa races so I do the same to get out the US.

[brisk jolt]

Max overtook the grello and did a +25
Then Estre hopped in and reduced it to current a +9.5

both max and kevin have balls of steel and crazy race pace… How they go so close to the grass and walls is crazy maximising the entire track

He shrunk it down another 3s

OH NO he lost the rear

[steel stream]

Who?

[brisk jolt]

kevin estre

and arjun in the mustang shortly after

same place both of them just lost the rear

[steel stream]

Damn

[analog scroll]

24H of nurburgring?

[brisk jolt]

yesh

[analog scroll]

nice

[cosmic gazelle]

notice that this man was completely sober yet when i’ve had like, 2 beers im the problem?

[brisk jolt]

bro kevin shrunk the gap verstappen built from +25 all the way to +6.5

[steel stream]

lol the writing on the track

[civic reef]

I got to taste good downloads speed today again (went back home)

[brisk jolt]

i dont think they had any wrong inputs just that part of the track just kicked both their rears loose

[civic reef]

7 Megabyte speeds on Steam

[brisk jolt]

the grello is leaking coolant

[steel stream]

Warship

[brisk jolt]

steve brown (supergt) was on the M3 Touring’s tail dk where he is now

I think they’re towing the grello and attempting to fix it

the mustang’s just entirely cooked

[steel stream]

Nah they got this

[brisk jolt]

their front is entirely fucked

the remaining contender rn is the #67 mustang

[steel stream]

Bro what the hell why so much cheese

[brisk jolt]

estre’s being towed back rn

the redbull lambo is like nowhere to be seen wtf

nvm the grello is 100% cooked

[pure garnet]

slow news day

[brisk jolt]

im still not buying another pos am5 processor

[placid blaze]

I tend to avoid wccftech just because 3/4 of the headlines are "CEO said a thing!"

[slim pebble]

The other 1/4 rumors are so bad MLID won’t even touch them

[spiral quarry]

Which team you following?

[brisk jolt]

Was mainly following the 911 and the 932

[turbid locust]

Skissue

[brisk jolt]

as if you didnt burn through 3 9800x3ds

[turbid locust]

Uhm, 1.

[spiral quarry]

Ah I'm just following the Merc E190 Evo II, BMW Z4/M3 Touring, and Black Falcon team lol

Can't escape watching Misha or Jimmy

[brisk jolt]

The M3 touring is pretty interesting

that thing is lowk a boat in the corners tho

[turbid locust]

Why buy the M3 when the M440i is peak

[pallid marsh]

One dozen

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/pH6_C0PF5fE?si=0vi6CTNemoUNjHJe

[pallid marsh]

Oh it's ue5..

[turbid locust]

yeah and to absolutely no surprise to anyone it runs like shit

[pallid marsh]

I can't wait for 30fps Lego batman

[steel stream]

lego batman with pt

[pallid marsh]

Ah yes the R5 1600 is super similar to the 10600k

[hot talon]

Is the 7600x and 5070 a good combo or should i get something else when the time comes?

[pallid marsh]

Perfectly good combo

[turbid locust]

I mean if you’re not ready to buy now just reevaluate when you have the means

the hardware market changes every 4 months lmao

[hot talon]

Alr ill look again closer to this summer

[pure garnet]

the only optimized ue5 titles are valorant and the new yoshi game

[turbid locust]

And I’ll never understand why lmfao

[signal parrot]

did valorant switch to ue5 or was it always using it? couldve sworn they used their own engine

[turbid locust]

It switched from UE4 to UE5

Performs slightly better and brought the size of the game down a little

@topaz veldt you own some 8Bitdo Ultimate controllers right? You like em?

[pallid marsh]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ram/asus-enters-the-ram-market-during-the-largest-memory-shortage-in-history-brands-first-ddr5-kit-makes-the-rtx-5070-ti-look-like-a-bargain wait can we make a all Asus PC now?

[pure garnet]

i have the ultimate 2 and it’s pretty good

guilty/mike/setsuna also have them

[turbid locust]

Considering grabbing one for PC because dragging my one xbox controller between my xbox and pc is kind of annoying

[pure garnet]

the only thing you have to consider is the handle doesn’t go as wide as the xbox one does

so if you have giant hands it might be uncomfy

[turbid locust]

in other news I caved and bought FH6

[pure garnet]

it looks decent but i just had to burn another $500 on tires so i gotta wait

[astral sun]

Any clue why I can't boot to an m.2 SSD while I'm able to boot to my sata one? M.2 drive is visible and accessible but ineligible as a boot option

[pure garnet]

were both drives installed when you installed windows to the m.2

windows has a bug in the installer where it’ll dump its boot loader to the first esp it finds instead of making one for itself, so your boot loader is on the sata drive if it was

[astral sun]

Not a new install, had to swap my AIO bc it died, after the sata ssd is the only one that will boot and m.2s dont show as boot option in BIOS

How do I go about fixing that bug? I can access the drives via the sata ssd install but nothing else

[analog scroll]

It's just a suggestion, but maybe an (official) Xbox 360 controller with a cheap gamepad adapter?

It's worked great for me

means you can still use wireless

[turbid locust]

8bitdo's are like $30 and way better lol

[analog scroll]

ah ok

[pure garnet]

the 360 controller was the golden standard for a long time but chinese controllers have brought high end features to incredibly low price points

you can get an 8bitdo or gamesir and like 10 other brands for $30-60 and get equivalent to an elite controller

@shell void i think asus made a custom xmp profile just for nitropath motherboards now https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/05/asus-enters-the-ram-market-with-rog-mode-48gb-ddr5-6000-cl26-kit

[turbid locust]

I think FH6 is cooking my ram and making my pc crash

by running my 5090 at max lmao

[pure garnet]

i’m at 32767 because of stuff like that

[turbid locust]

im gonna keep monitoring it

[pure garnet]

i’m dailying the cowards tune for now

[turbid locust]

it might have been my wireview shutting my shit off cause when I looked it said there was an amperage imbalance

[pure garnet]

car place called me back i’m getting fleeced

4 new tires + alignment

[turbid locust]

might be time to reinstall fan control and get that ram fan based on gpu temp curve going again

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna try and setup a low voltage 7600 tune on the 7800x3d

the sticks work but i feel bad giving my sister degraded ram so ill just make it work

[turbid locust]

my cpu idling at 70C cause case air temps getting so hot is not fire

[analog scroll]

ouch

[turbid locust]

time to UV and power limit the 5090 again

https://klipy.com/gifs/doakes-im-watching-you--k01KRS9PRGG4XJT3T3AYB2R40YP

[steel stream]

so an 8000 profile just for asus mobos? weird

[pure garnet]

only 1 chipset? how reasonable

[pure garnet]

the asus boards have nitro path which unironically goes hard

[steel stream]

oh true forgot

[pure garnet]

so i think they’re locking it to ones with that for stability reasons

[steel stream]

yeah makes sense

[pure garnet]

asus might also just be putting special terms into the profiles in the bios?

they already do it for gskill pcbs, it’s called crosshair tweak

[turbid locust]

my 5090 was only drawing 400W in game and ram only got up to 45C this time, but the full system didnt freeze, just FH6

[pure garnet]

what driver are you on

[turbid locust]

newest cause it yelled at me

when FH6 froze wireview did complain about an amperage imbalance but it was for a split second which is probably normal tbh

my controller suddenly stopped working ok

[wise bear]

👀

A worthy addition

I think I'll continue the pattern

[pallid marsh]

Still using the staple gun for the panels?

[wise bear]

I've upgraded to tacks

less bending in the foam

[pallid marsh]

Why not nails?

[old vault]

Picked this box for $50 at the flee market! It's an RX 5600xt 6g.
My son has GTX 1080 right now, will that be an upgrade?

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet ram temps leveled out and it hasn’t crashed again so I think it might have just been the game

[wise bear]

@merry stirrup @hoary hatch do either of you have raspi 4 or 5 you're willing to sell

[brave panther]

tf you need raspi for

just spin up a vm

First race outside of the prologue I’m doing just has a Baby Metal song blasting the whole time. This game fucks.

[pallid marsh]

Lmao the 8gb pi 5 is $175 new

[wise bear]

its so LAME

[brave panther]

price have been insane since raspi 4

[pallid marsh]

4gb is $110!

[wise bear]

a "new" 3b is still $50

[pure garnet]

that’s what i paid for my pi + case + rtc + ssd hat + ssd lmao

oh and ac adapter

[brave panther]

it was supposed to be 35$

[pure garnet]

it was for years till the ram stuff

[pallid marsh]

Wtf can a 1gb pi do

[wise bear]

run one webpage

[brave panther]

it all started when all the 4's got scallped and raspi prioritiesed enterprise b2b sales

[pure garnet]

i mean why would they not

the diy computer market is one of the most annoying voices and it bleeds over to that hobby too

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet nvm ram went up 2C and locked up

[pure garnet]

damn it’s actually trefi

[turbid locust]

feck.

Idk what I can do about it other than crank ram fan up because the 5090 was only pulling between 350-400W

[pure garnet]

drop to 50000 for now?

minimal performance loss

[pallid marsh]

Intel n150 4c 4t (launched in 2025) 16gb ram 256gb SSD for $206

[pure garnet]

oh

what are the ram temps that’s super odd

[turbid locust]

Less than 50C

Got up to like 48-49

[pure garnet]

i don’t think it’s heat then

these aren’t the sticks you blew up right

[turbid locust]

No

I’m back on my greens

[brave panther]

does it have a ram slot or is it soldered

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup assistance needed in bagging area

[turbid locust]

it MIGHT just be the game but like???? I’ve never seen a game crash cause the entire system to freeze

[pallid marsh]

Just states Two sodimm

[turbid locust]

I’m gonna let Karhu run with a gpu load

I swear I tested this tune with a gpu load and the sticks got up to like 55-60C no issue

[brave panther]

not bad at all, unless it is "up to 16gb" ram not included

[pallid marsh]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012047004656.html seems like it's included

[turbid locust]

Error as soon as they hit 49C

You know what must be done

[turbid locust]

never

Insane news for the program man

[merry stirrup]

hm?

[turbid locust]

we figured it out

[pure garnet]

apparently it was actually trefi

[merry stirrup]

oh okay fire

[turbid locust]

But guys fan control and monitor SPD hub temps now holy shit

It’s all I’ve ever wanted

[merry stirrup]

hurray

[pure garnet]

why

we love gaming

[merry stirrup]

we do sometimes

y'all see my prettyified computer? (i changed one cable)

gpu cable used to be red

just a full black out build now, im sad i couldnt find a gold cable

[mossy yarrow]

It won't boot from an NVMe with windows 11 pre-installed and it won't let me boot from the same NVMe when I reinstalled windows

[merry stirrup]

black+gold wouldve looked nice

imagine not buying a case with a built in thermometer

[analog scroll]

that is SWEET

some serious cooling happening

wait even the VRM is watercooled!?!?

[indigo walrus]

I'm imagining this right now. In fact, I don't need a thermometer on my case - I'll know it's too hot when I smell wood burning.

Don't flow meters reduce flow? Or is that only true for the older ones

[brave panther]

depends on design

[wraith steeple]

They do (my High Flow Next and 2 did).... Though we're talking about levels you have to look under a microscope to notice

[brave panther]

this one does not impact flow

[wraith steeple]

My Aquacomputer High Flow Next is one of the more better and accurate display ones out there

I would absolutely love that box for decoration

[young void]

yeah basically all of these zero feedback listings sub 1000 I can guarantee you have no core and no vram

[young void]

Unless it shows the dudes feet probs not real

[mossy yarrow]

I have an EK 360mm aio but I don't have a way to mount it lol

[placid blaze]

that air cooler can keep up with a 9950x3d so you should have no problem

[mossy yarrow]

sheeesh

[placid blaze]

yeah it's the biggest air cooler I can get for my case so

[mossy yarrow]

I won't even both with the AIO then, I hate putting those on

I'm sure it'll have no problem with my 4000D airflow

[placid blaze]

oh yeah you'll have room to spare

the side panel barely clears it for me but my case isn't particularly deep

[mossy yarrow]

what's crazy to me is just how much fps I lost out on when I had the i7 9700k

Im seeing on average hefty increases in basically all of the games I play

[placid blaze]

hell yeah that's what you want

[mossy yarrow]

exactly

I could've gotten a new cpu back before rammageddon but I didn't really think it would be that much of an increase

[placid blaze]

I got mine and 128gb of ram like 2 weeks before rammageddon

[mossy yarrow]

sweet

I don't think I would ever need that much ram

[placid blaze]

it's the second time I've dodged a pc component bullet, the last time was getting my 1080ti right before mining took off

[mossy yarrow]

more power to you then

[placid blaze]

128gb is excessive but my logic at the time was that I didn't want empty memory slots

[mossy yarrow]

would it have been cheaper to buy rgb filler sticks?

[placid blaze]

well yeah for sure

but micro center didn't have them and I knew I only had to buy DDR5 once and if I went straight for the 128gb then I would never buy memory again

[mossy yarrow]

most ram I've ever had was 64gb of ddr4 back when I had a ryzen 5 5500 and a 3060 8gb, only ended up using a 37gb when I played minecraft with shaders and 1000+ mods.

[placid blaze]

I still can't get memory usage over 64gb atm

no matter what I throw at it it just won't go over

[mossy yarrow]

well, if you ever do use more you just know you have more :D

[placid blaze]

see that's why I bought it!

[mossy yarrow]

I will likely just get a similar Tforce stick of that I got earlier today

1 x 16gb 5400 Mhz for $100

[placid blaze]

as an experiment I got up to 60GB but I had to do it with 30 firefox tabs and running an LLM in the background

[mossy yarrow]

LMAO

also I just figured out that my motherboard has an NPU compute accelerator device on it

does that help with frame gen from something like lossless scaling?

or just LLMs and stuff

[placid blaze]

well you can use your igpu as a second gpu and it would probably work well for that

[mossy yarrow]

that's what I planned on doing, but since APU's use system memory I didn't want to allocate that ram towards something else lol

when i get another stick maybe

I may actually just do some tests to see how much memory my system uses with and without lossless scaling, but when I was playing Apex at 1440p competitive settings the usage went up to roughly 12 or 13

You know what the performance difference would be between having the adrenaline edition drivers vs the auto installed drivers from Windows?

[devout ridge]

no

frame gen and upscaling can’t run on an npu

only a gpu

[mossy yarrow]

I see

[trim agate]

Mandatory comment, have you tried opening a Google tab?

[placid blaze]

well I don't have chrome installed and I use duckduckgo as my primary search engine

[brisk jolt]

nah we’re all rooting for the dacia

its so jover #80 is being investigated for code 60 whatever that is

and the RB lambo is like 6 mins behind the merc

[cloud vigil]

That feels kinda slow, I can get >60T/s on my (single) 4080 Super while offloading most layers to main RAM on the Qwen 35b model

dual 5070Ti, it might be baller to just set up a 24GB model and let er rip with no PCIe contention

[green marsh]

you are talking about MoE model vs dense model

35B has only 3B parameters loaded at once. 27B has all 27B loaded at once

[cloud vigil]

ooooh gotcha

[green marsh]

i could test the 35B performance for comparison 😄

[cloud vigil]

I got one (1) token out of the 4080S before it crashed due to lack of VRAM

[spiral quarry]

lol seeing the Dacia Logan chilling is hilarious

[brisk jolt]

the Mexican prime minister of defense was behind the wheel defending against the verstappen racing merc smh

[cloud vigil]

10T/s on the 4080 Super with 1/4 of the model offloaded to main memory 😅 this is a certified dense model moment

oh wait, hold on, I can make my RX 6600 and 4080 Super work together, that shouuuld give enough VRAM

[green marsh]

must use Vulkan backend for that tho

[cloud vigil]

I got Vulkan working. sadly vulkan does not support splitting VRAM unevenly, though

the RX 6600 + 4080 Super Crossfire was never meant to be 😔

[green marsh]

Qwen3.5:35B-A3B-MTP results

[green marsh]

maybe try to use llama.cpp instead ?

but sadly it will be still much worse than dual nvidia GPUs

[cloud vigil]

Vulkan is usually only ~10% slower than CUDA, from what I've found on Ada (same with OpenCL), but the bigger problem is that the RX 6600 is usually 1/5 the performance or so

[green marsh]

what made me really sad was how unusable 5700G made the 35B for me

Xeon E5-2699v3 with quad channel DDR4-2133 with 1080 Ti => 30t/s token generation
5700G with dual channel DDR4-3600 with 1080 Ti => 10t/s token generation

i think 3900X did like around 18-20t/s with 1080 Ti

so for Hermes Agent (i haven't started using it yet) i had to settle for Qwen3.5-9B instead, which with q8_0 kv cache and with unsloth/Qwen3.5-9B-GGUF:IQ4_XS literally just fits in the GPU VRAM

(including vision funcionality)

with full 256k context, and not even that slow

or the first prompt

[green marsh]

RIP Dacia

[cloud vigil]

yeah, I keep finding that iGPUs are disappointing for LLMs, I don't know why

[brisk jolt]

#3 merc is also out

not sure if its DNF or its repairable

[green marsh]

not using iGPU, i mean 1080 Ti + 5700G offloading is somehow very slow. possibly due the very limited cache in 5700G

[cloud vigil]

oooh that makes more sense

yeah, I set up my weird little agent using the GPT-OSS 20B with ~100K context window on the 4080S. It has like 100MB left over. I found that making the evaluation batch size 32 was the smallest I could go before having a measurable performance hit, and it actually saved me a gig or two

i missed the part where you get 70 fps

shit GPU, shit CPU, only 16gb ram, probably on stock AMD cooler as well

inb4 I get a X870E Apex with a 10g nic and move my PC to the router for lols

[trim agate]

doesn't matter because you aren't willing to keep your pc there for the bit

i too can inflate my numbers and go out and get 2 40G nics and do an iperf test

[brisk jolt]

I dont even think theres any viable way to get a higher speed on wireless backhaul anyway

maybe another HB710 with ethernet closer to mine but like

At least I managed to download FH6 within 5 mins so thats already good nuf for me

[trim agate]

realistically nah

unless you're willing to like paint your house black, get all your neighbours to delete their 5ghz APs and bluetooth devices

more meshes aint worth it and eventually is a negative

[burnt socket]

is this the reason usb 3 to Ethernet exists

[pastel thicket]

Ok so i just build my system.
its in a hyte y60.
In total i have 9 fans: 3 180 ad the bottom as intake 2 140 ad the side as intake.
Exaust are 1 180 in the back and 3 180 ad the top venting out true a radiator.
when my side panel is closed ad long gaming sessions my gpu ovehead.
if the its open it wont overhead.
should i change my fan oriantation and to what should i make it then.

[devout ridge]

what

no, the reason usb 3 to ethernet exists is because people want to have ethernet on devices that may not already have ethernet

also aggregation happens at the router level, not the device

oh cool, Seasonic has a PSU cable compatibility list, and even pinouts for some https://seasonic.com/cable-compatibility/

[burnt socket]

to replace my melty melty after 6 months? hell yeah

honestly idrc cuz i always keep things, even modular cables with their boxes

[green marsh]

yes, but for example if you would do sleeved cables for yourself, or if you lost a cable somehow

[burnt socket]

sure

[burnt socket]

im just waiting for my non modular, f tier psu to blow up and then upgrade to something modular

far too many sata and molex cables

[green marsh]

i have an EVGA P2 650, SuperFlower Golden King 550W, Seasonic X-460FL and Seasonic GC-500 sitting unused behind me... And that is after i moved a Seasonic Focus Plus Patinum 650W to the PC i had the GC-500 in 😄

[burnt socket]

attis 750r 💣

really relying on the brand image

planning to upgrade to the leadex gold iii 850 i think

[pure garnet]

that’s the dumbest thing you could do

just change it when you can instead of waiting for it to kill a component alongside itself

[sharp heart]

<@&750150305383186585>

[pure garnet]

nah bro he’s legit fr fr 🔥

[burnt socket]

tbh by the time the psu blows up other components need an upgrade too

but I do agree

Excited to do PC stuff again next month

Additionally, with my salary, and the fact that I only have like $250 in purchases, I won't have to finance anything!!

We love not having to finance anything

[mossy yarrow]

What GPU is this?

Oh I see

[nova patrol]

woman holding spoon

[mossy yarrow]

Nuh uh

[merry stirrup]

fg tho :/

[mossy yarrow]

Just fluid motion frames

Ion see what's wrong with that after maxing out all the settings except rt

Comes with the card may as well use it

[hot talon]

Whats a good price (in CAD) for a white 32gb cl30 6000mhz ram kit?

[merry stirrup]

its frame gen just built into the driver, aka worse

[pure garnet]

frame gen is fine but it’s larping the fps counter

[merry stirrup]

exactly

its just strange to show a result on how good a system is but in reality it gets half dat

[shell void]

we are now at the point where massively popular games are expecting you to use DLSS FG by default

[merry stirrup]

such as?

[shell void]

subnautica 2 doesn’t even have a toggle for reflex, you can only get it by enabling framegen

and in forza horizon 6 the implementation for reflex without FG is buggy

[merry stirrup]

does subnautica run in a way where frame gen would be particularly beneficial?

[shell void]

i’m not arguing against what you’re saying, just adding to the convo

it’s unfortunate

[merry stirrup]

many people dont know what reflex is or even turn it on, so i kinda disagree

[maiden prairie]

Fg x2 when you have good base frame rate don't bring any downside so why not having it enabled by default when possible

[merry stirrup]

it still adds latency and it always will

fg at 90 frames on an amd card isnt particularly wonderful but its not great

[shell void]

yeah sub2 performance is horrible

if you’re swimming through foliage in some sections you can drop to 60fps even at 1080p on a 5090 and 9850x3d

[pure garnet]

for me anything first person isn’t playable with framegen because my input latency doesn’t change so it just feels sluggish

[shell void]

framegen is necessary if you have eyeballs

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

yeesh

[shell void]

i try to not use FG but overriding low latency mode in sub2 doesn’t seem to work, and you can’t get reflex without enabling FG

so your input latency is like 20ms worse if you don’t enable FG

[maiden prairie]

With nvidia it's not noticeable in most games, except competitive ones, but say subnautica... You won't ever see the difference

[pure garnet]

i’d probably enable 2x in that situation but i haven’t ran into a game like that yet

[merry stirrup]

i havent used nvidias frame gen myself because its just not a tech im interested in, but in videos of people "reviewing" it, they always say its moderately noticable

[shell void]

the input latency penalty is whatever to me because if i’m using FG then the render rate is so low that input latency sucks anyway, but the frame pacing and crosshair artifacts in first person games can be weird

[merry stirrup]

i think even DLSS is pretty noticable, but in a way thats just different and not worse

certain things get an interesting halo effect around them with DLSS, and minor foliage and fences still ghost moderately bad

[shell void]

do you use the default UE5 TAA instead of DLAA or DLSS?

[merry stirrup]

no

thats why i said different and not worse

i usually always prefer DLSS/AA but it does look different than TAA in an odd way

[shell void]

after having a long time to think about it i’m not all that happy about dlss 4.5 tbh

the extra motion clarity and lighting brightness is nice, but there’s a lot more aliasing and foliage artifacts compared to dlss 4.0

[pure garnet]

i still just use 4.0 usually

[shell void]

same i usually use 4.0 (K) quality

[merry stirrup]

i play apex legends most so i dont even get dlss

[shell void]

it looks pretty much the same as 2160p DLAA 4.0 K, and is the most natural looking to me

[merry stirrup]

finals has dlss pretty decent game

runs poorly though

[shell void]

the smearing is annoying but whatever that’s less distracting than broken looking shrubs

[merry stirrup]

180 or so frames at low-ish settings

[merry stirrup]

this isnt distracting at all wdym

looks like im staring at an oil painting of the game

original 😭

[shell void]

is that you missing no.???

[pure garnet]

that might just be your baby resolution display fr

[merry stirrup]

i dont think you can blame the most common high resolution on steam for upscaling being poor on the highest quality setting

quite a lot of pixels in a 1440p display

[maiden prairie]

It heavily depends on the resolution, like in 4k most of the time it's just better

As for fg.. It's heavily dependant on initial frame rate, if you have good framerare it won't really be noticeable, but if it's in a highly fast paced game yeah I guess it's noticeable

[merry stirrup]

i had an experience in stalker 2 with fg

it was certainly gamable

[smoky orbit]

anyone ever had to get a 5.25" to 3.5" hdd cage? looking for something like that and wondered if anyone had suggestions?

[shell void]

i haven’t tried the new “DLSS 4.5 Framegen Model B” because it’s only available in like 5 games, but even with 120fps rendered the crosshair artifacts with DLSS FG A are really obvious

[merry stirrup]

i popped another fan into my rig

[shell void]

i don’t blame people for not liking it in first person games

[merry stirrup]

put one of my a620 frozn fans in as an exhaust fan just cause itll fill the case out some

looks fine, might help ram temps 1 or 2c (cope)

[shell void]

i think Icydock makes stuff like that
