@brisk jolt

[south shuttle]

lmao real

[merry stirrup]

capture card has been wired in to the setup

[fervent chasm]

My time is coming

[low sorrel]

What's this

[fervent chasm]

NWR waitlist for repairs for like computer stuff

I asked them to repair a kit of RAM I got that was broken

[low sorrel]

Send me the episode

[fervent chasm]

I already listed the broken kit on eBay but someone told me to give NWR a try

[low sorrel]

When it comes out

[fervent chasm]

If they fix it, maybe it’ll be an episode lol

It’s a lot of scratches and stuff

Idk if it will get fixed

I think someone used the wrong tool to remove the heatsink

And they scratched it all up, knocked off some small part too I noticed

[low sorrel]

Do you think they would accept my headset that caught fire

[fervent chasm]

Send them a DM and ask

I got quoted $150 if they fix it, $50 for the attempt if they can’t

[low sorrel]

That's a damn good deal

[fervent chasm]

Probably doesn’t include buying actual parts though

So if it needs a new memory chip or something

That’s probably something tiny like soldering

[low sorrel]

I would imagine it probably doesn't need a new memory chip

[fervent chasm]

Yah I doubt it, the scratches on them weren’t deep at all

[low sorrel]

Maybe a trace or a surface component

[fervent chasm]

I think it’s just missing some smaller stuff, idk if it’s transistors or something

I really hope they can fix it

I’ll sell my 4x48 6800 dimms I have after

[low sorrel]

Isn't that like 3k in memory

[fervent chasm]

They go for like $1.4k each kit used

I think

I got both kits for $2XX total a few years ago now

Was a good deal even back then

I basically got both for the price of 1

[floral spear]

Has anyone here tried the Steam Controller yet? If so how great is it?

[low sorrel]

@hoary hatch

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-gif-5677380953331354485

[hoary hatch]

It's fine

Not great but not terrible

The haptics are pretty good, but I find the controller is a little large and I wish the plastic had more of a texture to it

At $100 I only recommend it if you really want the stream related features/touch pads

If it's goes on sale for like $80, highly recommend

[floral spear]

Have you gotten stick drift?

[steel stream]

It’s just fine?

Bro cancel the petco appointment because my 🐐 Valve is WASHED

[analog scroll]

Do I need to etch an ISO file

I downloaded the ISO of Roller Coaster Tycoon

so that I can run it on my Sony Vaio (Pentium 4, 512MB RAM, Geforce4 MX440, Win XP)

but Idunno if I need to do something with it to make it run

Paid $160 at Walmart

[low sorrel]

nice

my brazilan hackerman

[south shuttle]

Average

[mossy yarrow]

For $160? I thought the MSRP was 185

[south shuttle]

It performs only slightly faster than 6 core zen4 cpus like 7600/x

[mossy yarrow]

I see

How bout the 8600G?

[south shuttle]

that one is meh

[mossy yarrow]

Figured

[south shuttle]

the igpu is good

the cpu itself is bad

unless you're overclocking ram

[mossy yarrow]

That's what I currently have and in FH6 it's saying I have 2 GB less of system memory than I actually do unless I turn off the igpu

[south shuttle]

but only for numbers, not for much benefit overall

[mossy yarrow]

I see

When X3Ds are not overpriced at Walmart or I find the time to drive 6 hours to microcenter I'm gonna get a r7 or r9

And a 9070xt

[south shuttle]

Check guides, the setting might be in bios

[mossy yarrow]

Oh I already turned it off and it fixed that issue

[south shuttle]

9600x is more than enough for a 9070xt

[steel stream]

Wait he might be onto smth

[topaz veldt]

9950X3D2 💪

[mossy yarrow]

Big gaming!!

[brisk jolt]

gained

[nocturne jacinth]

32w laptop CPU enough for 9070xt even for 1440p epic

[devout ridge]

Internet outage persists like 10 hours later

[brisk jolt]

oof, hope it comes back on soon

[cosmic gazelle]

doesn’t a 9070 xt saturate oculink

[mossy yarrow]

8600G vs 9600X r5

Like 14% performance difference, but the l1 and l3 cache size is double 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

what are your pbo settings

also i doubt 3dmark is super cache dependent anyways

[mossy yarrow]

I would agree, and I don't think it'll be a real world performance indicator anyways because of that

[cosmic gazelle]

do you have power limits lifted in pbo

[mossy yarrow]

Unsure

Idrk how to check that lol

Assuming that's a BIOS item

[cosmic gazelle]

what mobo manufacturer

@mossy yarrow

[mossy yarrow]

MSI

It's the x870 pro series

[cosmic gazelle]

give it a shot and see what happens

it could make a huge difference or no difference at all

[mossy yarrow]

I'll give it a check and I'll post the deltas here

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet @merry stirrup this tells me what i need to know about my 4400 tune lol

on a non x3d chip that won't even do 2200 fclk, it's like barely any different from a kickass ram config that my ic's can't even get close to

[mossy yarrow]

It only got 9285

It's an increase just not a significant one

[cosmic gazelle]

hey i mean that's like 3% extra performance for free

and widens the gap from your 8600g

[mossy yarrow]

absolutely

14% to 17%, so its worth it IMO, and before my CPU in FH6 was hitting really high utilization and my GPU utilization fluctuated between 70-90%. Now its constantly pegged around 98%

[cosmic gazelle]

you could also probably do this for free single threaded boost

[hoary hatch]

It's got TMR joysticks so should be fairly immune
It's also only been a week or two lol

I've only experienced stick drift on joycons and switch pro controller. My dual shock 3/4/5 and Xbox One/series controllers have been drift free

[mossy yarrow]

aight I will take a look at that, im overclocking my 9060xt rn

[floral spear]

Fair im mostly asking since

My dual sense has got stick drift, the kind that affects you badly at thr worst parts

[cosmic gazelle]

in heavy scenarios the max boost clocks am5 sustains is primarily limited by temperatures

however that boost lets your cores boost 200mhz higher in lightly threaded scenarios like certain games

[hoary hatch]

It's generally better than my series controller except
(1) The joysticks are pretty far north on the steam controller, so I be stretching my thumbs a bit
(2) I have an Xbox design lab controller with rubber grips and metal trigger/dpad and those feel a lot better

[hoary hatch]

One of my dualsense over perfectly fine
The other has a dead microcontroller or eeprom or something

[floral spear]

Yea idk whay happened

But the joystick started going left

[hoary hatch]

You can try repairing it

Otherwise the steam controller is fine

Cannot stress this enough, the controller itself it's totally fine, good even
I just think it's a little too expensive

[cosmic gazelle]

yeesh. mojang's initial vulkan implementation is very bad

cut my performance on the "fabulous!" preset from 150fps on opengl to 100fps

[floral spear]

Im mostly thinking about getting it for 3 reasons
Xbox Buttons (Letters) XInput Compatible Hopefully?
Its Valve and it has iFixIt Archives
Its Unique somewhat

[south shuttle]

Ngl i've never had very good perfomance with vanilla mc on radeon

Maybe that's changed now

i was just getting a ton more fps on ampere than rdna2, polaris

[random flame]

Basically from what I've heard, all it does is something similar to VulkanMod: trades off top-end performance for stability in lows.

Mostly so they could lock the performance consistently in the 1% lows on M series Macs at an actually decent framerate.

KasaiSora tested this if I recall correctly.

Ah, here it is.

[turbid locust]

I’m perma gpu bound in that game

but I just set a 90fps cap and crank settings so lol

[trim agate]

I hate work why does time pass by so slowly

[indigo walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/office-space-okay-but-burn-the-building-pyro-gif-3810278

I thought it was 4:30pm

It’s only 3:20

I get off work at 6pm.

I’ve had 0 incidents and nothing to do today

My day so far

[nocturne jacinth]

Apparently not in that game

[mossy yarrow]

Oh absolutely

I have it set to variable unlocked just to see how much FPS I get, I don't think I have enough overhead for good frame gen though because it only boosts my fps by like 2 on average according to RTSS overlay, adrenaline tells me my average fps is 189 though...

[turbid locust]

There’s realistically no reason to run over 60fps in that game anyway. It’s a car game. 99% of people are using wheels or controllers anyway.

I run 90 locked just cause I can but like it’s a controller car game lol

[mossy yarrow]

Yeah for sure, I like having around 100 FPS in driving games when I'm on controller or at the wheel

Buttery smooth experience is all I want

You reckon a 9070xt will give me 100 with max RT and extreme settings?

[nocturne jacinth]

Prob with balanced or med RT+quality

[mossy yarrow]

Zamn okay

150 euro for used 5900x is so tempting, but then i can just run a smaller model fully fitting in the 1080 Ti VRAM and then don't waste any money... hate my brain trying to improve things which do not need to be upgraded 😄

[mossy yarrow]

download more vram

or solder on higher capacity chips :D

[placid blaze]

I might build an AI homelab just for camera storage and object detection, might use one of those Tesla Volta cards that you can get for cheap

I think an N100 board would be enough?

[green marsh]

no older GPUs around at all ? Depending on model size and capabilities you want to use, you might not even need a GPU

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/exclusive-acer-predator-atlas-8-gaming-handheld-to-feature-arc-g3-series

[placid blaze]

The token rate and efficiency of those inference GPUs are what draw me to them and they're cheap enough

[burnt socket]

its 9:03 pm

[green marsh]

But on other side an older 8-12GB card you already own might be even cheaper

[placid blaze]

I don't have any spare GPUs at the moment but those Volta cards can be had for a few hundred bucks used and compare with something like a 4060 Ti

They have zero use outside of inference and ML

[shell void]

you don’t want the giant gunmetal spider router?

phanteks was my goat in the 2010s and then fall off in the first half of this decade

i think case manufacturers will be forced to be fun to try to sell cases during this time where pc building is in a decline

they could get away with putting out basic mesh boxes when everyone was building pcs

[brisk jolt]

It might be time for them to be targetting a rebuilder’s market

[steel stream]

Cancel the Petco appointment because my goat is washed

I was thinking about getting Phanteks as a NAS case but the H5 flow is doing fine

[hoary hatch]

I haven't tried it outside of steam yet
But the letters on the buttons don't actually mean anything. The default configuration is mapped to Xinput in most games, but you can change steam settings to make those buttons Nintendo mode for example

[shell void]

enthoo pro 2 sux

source: it’s been my primary case for a few years

i have the OG 2014 version as well, and it’s a much better case

[placid blaze]

I don't have a problem with Phanteks cases, their fans can go to hell

[hoary hatch]

It holds a lot of drives and a decent amount of fans what's wrong with that

My server case is actual ass

[placid blaze]

My server case is a rackmount rosewill that I crammed like 11 HDD's into

[pure garnet]

[brisk jolt]

Im still happy with my HS420 lmao its just a rly amazing case

[placid blaze]

For regular desktop cases I'm team Silverstone for life

[shell void]

it only comes with four dinky 3.5” trays that you have to install

the build quality is noticeably worse than the original enthoo pro

the only advantage that it has is airflow

i wish i had just bought two of the OG instead of trusting that the second revision would be better

holy downgrade

[frank zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3OqttzvRqw
I'm laughing

[shell void]

the top magnetic dust filter on the pro 2 falls apart, and the edges are extremely sharp; it has cut me several times
the front fabric looks and feels cheap
the panels are flimsy compared to the original
it supports fewer drives out of the box
cable management sucks due to the shallow side mounted psu compartment

it’s an insulting successor to the legendary enthoo pro 1

[south shuttle]

the gap is starting to close in terms of pricing to ips and budget minileds

although yeah i’d say they’re bit overhyped even if basicly the best you can get

[frank zealot]

his main complaint is "burn in" risk

Which is a little ridiculous, if you're even somewhat careful

[late atlas]

Everything has a downside and none of the downsides are secrets

[south shuttle]

i mean, lcds don’t have the typical burn in

[frank zealot]

neither does OLED if you're even remotely careful

[south shuttle]

at most the leds can burn out or backlight layers fold comparably

[brisk jolt]

i run my nvidia overlay like 24/7 by accident and ion even worry bout ts

[south shuttle]

yeah but you don’t need to be as careful with an average lcd

[shell void]

miniled displays generally degrade faster than OLED if you’re actually using them at near max backlight

i’m not allergic to LCD if it’s actually implemented well though

like my Macbook Pro and Analogue Pocket

[south shuttle]

not true

oled degrades comparably or faster

as of average miniled vs average oled

but they both do degrade ofc

[pure garnet]

michael i did not realize how gigantic your 5090 box was until i saw it in person

[frank zealot]

his main gripes:
Burn in and poorer text quality.

[south shuttle]

mini leds are more effective at producing high brightness due to how light works therefore less heat, as a simplified example two 45w lightbulbs can’t create the same brightness to you as a 90w lightbulb

the less light sources the less watts you need

[steel stream]

Needs to get with the times

[topaz veldt]

Guys if you were buying a USB microphone for gaming today what would you get

[frank zealot]

I just use what's on my headset.

I don't need streamer-tier mics for in-game voice chat

[topaz veldt]

right so imagine you game with HD600s and Arya Stealths

[shell void]

yeah it’s amusing

the card itself is the length of my elbow pit down to my fingertips if i rest it on my forearm

[pure garnet]

i saw it at microcenter and the box immediately drew my attention from the sheer size

[south shuttle]

also the organic compounds in oled generally degrade faster than non organic counterparts, the reason why organic materials are used is cost (mainly cost) and it allowed for smaller pixels

[pure garnet]

the astral looked like a msrp card in comparison

[shell void]

astral is a big flop imo

[frank zealot]

I was just curious, so that measurement on me is a bit shy of 500mm (it's 480-something mm)

[shell void]

a whole kilogram heavier and an extra fan and it performs worse

[steel stream]

I use a fifine t669 and it’s fine, $30 bucks I think

[south shuttle]

i fine you $30 bucks

same i also had a k669b (which is basicly poor’s man t669) and it was fine

i would maybe check competition from fduce and tonor, other chinese brands as well

[cosmic gazelle]

30 dollars bucks

[south shuttle]

$30€ renminbi conversion bucks

i'm so close 😭

[late atlas]

Control Panel

[smoky orbit]

I know, but stil

[cosmic gazelle]

faw will not go below 18 and i have no idea why

it's just like that for some reason

[late atlas]

Lmao

[steel stream]

So close, but yet still so far

[south shuttle]

thought for a sec it was related to the control panel thing ☠️

[cosmic gazelle]

i just have to do wtrl, rtp, rdwr and wrrd

[south shuttle]

every oc needs high trefi based

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean there’s kind of no point if you leave refi stock

has one of the biggest impacts on gaming results

[placid blaze]

Probably setting up moonlight/sunshine today for my PC and Shield, will report back with results

[south shuttle]

the reason why it’s left low by manufacturers is that it produces quite bit of heat when it’s up

and heat and ram isn’t ideal

like i could imagine your ram becoming unstable at like 20000 trefi being closed in a hotbox with a 3090

[cosmic gazelle]

bro no ddr5 is unstable at 20000 😭

[south shuttle]

well i’m describing my issue with jobsbo z20 and 3090

i can do 60k trefi in a 4000d

with the 3090 blowing at the ram

[cosmic gazelle]

and i’m running 1.3vdimm and could set my refi to a billion if am5 supported it

[south shuttle]

at most 20k in z20 with 6400mt/s 1:1 oc

the 3090 fe blows directly at the ram

literally

and z20 has no intake front fans

if i want more than 20k i gotta place a fan on top of the ram

[cosmic gazelle]

🤷‍♂️ idk man

take your heat spreaders off or sumn

[south shuttle]

yeah i just did, it’s somewhat better? it seems

patriot used glued foam on the ics and as you may know heat + adhesives = collapse

[edgy laurel]

yeah, finally.

Though the grandpas can still use it, its on the MS store. That fresh 2008-spec dogshit slow app

[south shuttle]

one of the kits started to come apart on it’s own

i mean not surprising considering how easy it was to take them apart

pretty sure i didn’t even need ipa

but i didn’t want to accidentally risk one of the ics being ripped with the glue so i used a bit of ipa on the secondary side

[cosmic gazelle]

I don't wanna risk it on my setup considering i literally cannot afford to replace my sticks if i break them, and this 4400 tune works just fine with rtp and refi maxed out

but people say it usually helps

[steel stream]

I’m going to miss it, maybe

[south shuttle]

i’d like to ziptie a heatsink on my ram or something

now that i have barebone sticks

[south shuttle]

it heavily depends on the kit

if the heatsink is literally just an aluminum plate that’s been glue to the ics yeah…

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah thats what micron does

and what i have

you could get one of these setups off aliexpress

[south shuttle]

i’ll try to use one of the heatsinks i have

it’s cheeper

[steel stream]

You gotta water block your dimms

[south shuttle]

This is foam chat right

[steel stream]

And then run them jedec

[south shuttle]

lemme get a better pic

[cosmic gazelle]

bet

akn did you see that bz tested that 4400 is viable on non x3d if you have a shitty kit

aka non hynix

[steel stream]

I did not

Tbh I do not follow mem oc that much

I’m unc and lazy

[south shuttle]

Foam or no foam?

Could it be something else?

i'm 100% sure it's not a thermal pad

not greasy

my grandpa had one, sold it to one of my friend for 90 CAD and got an creality hi combo

[steel stream]

Rip

[blazing axle]

9800x3d paired 5070ti for roblox?

[steel stream]

It’ll play Roblox for sure

[blazing axle]

Think it needs a 5090

[pure garnet]

they had a 21 and over section which i understood the value of once all the kids showed up midday to the other one

[blazing axle]

Not sure if the 70ti is strong enough

[south shuttle]

@steel stream this 1800s swiss grain company just paid me a dividend of 11chf per share do i hold or sell iyo

[smoky orbit]

better have minimum 512 gb of ram

[turbid locust]

Bait used to be believable

[south shuttle]

i purchased at 229/share

[steel stream]

ID check at the waterpark kinda nuts

[smoky orbit]

use some damn contrast, please

[pure garnet]

it was a lazy river that let you drink booze inside of it

[smoky orbit]

sick

[steel stream]

Honestly I think sell? Looks like it might not go much above here

[smoky orbit]

(can't see shit)

[blazing axle]

I’ll try harder next time

[smoky orbit]

thank you

[steel stream]

Let the kids in what’s the worst that could happen

[devout ridge]

It let me test XYZ and all that worked fully, so i bought it for 30

[late atlas]

It can probably run with 512mb of ram lmao

[devout ridge]

now i just gotta take it home, clean it, and see if it works

[steel stream]

Kyoko that waterpark is 3hrs from me I would have pulled up

[smoky orbit]

nicey

[devout ridge]

For 30usd it’s worth the gamble imo

[pure garnet]

i should’ve told you akn we were there open to close 🥀

[smoky orbit]

worst case scenario you got a potential filament maker

[steel stream]

It’s ok next time 🥀

[pure garnet]

we had a cabana with a delivery guy too

[smoky orbit]

oof

[steel stream]

Damnnnnnn

[devout ridge]

I mean it’s an ender 3, so it should be pretty easy to get replacement parts if something in specific is broken

[smoky orbit]

that too

[south shuttle]

they had good earnings last time

[pure garnet]

i’ll redirect my flight home to your city instead

[steel stream]

Hmm idk then

[south shuttle]

i made 10% on it if i sell now

[steel stream]

Yeah sounds good, we can go to 8 mile together

[frank zealot]

I'm current un-caging some cage nuts

[smoky orbit]

ah yes, even more screen cause we never have enough

[pure garnet]

you would’ve loved hotdog happy hour

[frank zealot]

Stop putting screens on things that have limited lifespans, jfc

[steel stream]

Is that actually a thing there

[south shuttle]

i'll sell like 1/3 of my shares then if it goes up slightly today

[steel stream]

I’ve got two TVs in my room and it’s not enough

[pure garnet]

yeah it brought the overpriced $10 hotdog down to a slightly less offensive $5, it was a pretty good hot dog

[steel stream]

Damn that’s nice

[frank zealot]

[steel stream]

@smoky orbit the stock exchange works on a relatively simple principle, it's just buy and sell, price goes up when investors buy all of the cheap shares and down when people put lower sell prices than other sell (buy for other) prices

That movie was ridiculous lol

[south shuttle]

hi wormm btw

[frank zealot]

some people get lucky in the market and beat indexes.

Most don't.

short term, you can potentially do it with some skill/luck. Long term, probably not.

[steel stream]

I <3 Index Funds

[south shuttle]

i outperformed s&p 500 for a brief moment in total profit few months ago, which was short lived

i'm only up 5% this year

[frank zealot]

yup, which is why the go-to advice is "index funds ftw"

and that is 50 cage nuts "un-caged"

I'm 3D Printing another 10" Rack
And it uses M6 Screws & Square Nuts

The easiest way to get M6 Phillips Screws & Square Nuts is Rack Cage Screw sets.

Just pop the nuts out of the clips, and you have them.

[south shuttle]

s&p is up 15% since i started which is 3x of my profit

[south shuttle]

can't wait for metal printing becoming more mainstream as well

[frank zealot]

it would not be worth it in this case.

10 bucks for 50 sets of these is way cheaper than 3d printing it

[south shuttle]

yh i was like btw

[frank zealot]

these screws also inclue nice plastic washers on the screws, so it won't fuck with the plastic rails as much

[south shuttle]

thought it would be cool to mention

[frank zealot]

sorry, 20 bucks for a 50 pack (I had work get nicer than the cheapest screws)

these are the "cheap" ones, 45 sets for 7 bucks on `zon

[south shuttle]

zon

[steel stream]

Big zon

[devout ridge]

Ender 3 seemingly just works

So i got a fully functional ender 3 for 30usd

[turbid locust]

I need to get back to working on my Ender 5 Pro

Planning to covert it to CoreXY

[devout ridge]

I have some filament coming tomorrow so i can try a test print, but as far as i can tell, it’s fully functional

[reef lance]

Car mechanic simulator 2018 free right now on steam

[frank zealot]

That's stupid cheap, but you're gonna learn some printing headaches lol

[devout ridge]

Yeah...

[shell void]

i want one with dual screens

[topaz veldt]

Shh I'm working

[devout ridge]

Hopefully it's not too much of a headache

Even if it does end up being a pain, hard to beat 30usd

[devout ridge]

My friend was at the thrift store like 3 days ago and didn't see it, so it had to have been pretty new stock

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet @merry stirrup is there anything here that is supposed to go lower or be better on ddr5

pretty much anything on the first column won’t go any lower

[steel stream]

For like DS stuff

[frank zealot]

My neptune 4 pro was actually free lol

[frank zealot]

I saw a neptune 3 (I think it was a 3, it was pretty beat to shit) at the thrift store recently.
They had it tagged at 180$

I laughed and told them it'd never sell

[hoary hatch]

sees CL26 nice nice
4400 MT/s uhhhhhhhh

[cosmic gazelle]

x3d things

[steel stream]

I don’t question the RAM OC stuff in here anymore

[hoary hatch]

I mostly come here to complain about performance in EA star wars game PC ports these days

[cosmic gazelle]

tldr is my ram sucks and can’t really tune much at 6000-6200 so 4400 is probably faster or at least equal

[steel stream]

Valid

Damn someone microwaved smth nasty at work

[hoary hatch]

Although now that I've been playing Jedi survivor more, I think performance has leveled out
The first location and first area in second location had terrible performance drops

Maybe it's just spending hours compiling shaders? Or coruscant is cursed

Also rebooting after changing settings seems to alleviate some of the vram issues

Also opening the minimap just drops me to 26 fps no matter what

[steel stream]

I think it might be Coruscant

I see a steam post saying the game runs fine after beating coruscant

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I'd say so

I guess instead of spending 2 hours tweaking my settings to get decent coruscant performance I should have just powered through

[steel stream]

Should have just gotten a 5090 smh

[hoary hatch]

Bru I'm using 14.5+ GB of vram at 1440p

Mwx settings, no dlss or FG or RT

[steel stream]

God damn

[hoary hatch]

I don't think my 5070ti could handle 4k or RT even if I have the raw perf for it

[steel stream]

I’ve been meaning to play the game but this does not bode well for my 5070 ti

[hoary hatch]

Leave RT off and you should be fine

You're at 4k? Uhhh

[steel stream]

Oh I guess I also have DLSS available

Just RT + DLSS and should be fine

[hoary hatch]

4k max settings on the 3090 rig with dlss balanced was still using north of 20gb vram lol

[steel stream]

Sheeeeit

[hoary hatch]

The fallen order + survivor bundle is often on sale for $15
Absolutely worth the pickup

I'm sure you can tune the settings to get acceptable performance

[steel stream]

Yeah most likely

I’ll probs play on controller and shoot for 60FPS

[frank zealot]

cries in non-existant 24GB 5080 Super

[steel stream]

Don’t worry, next generation we will have a 16GB 6060 that totally performs like a 5090

[frank zealot]

8x fg

[steel stream]

8X FG + DLSS performance at 1080P

[hoary hatch]

5080 should have been 24gb from launch

[frank zealot]

the only reason it didn't was because at the time 3gb chips weren't an option

[hoary hatch]

Even if it was $1099 instead of $999

[hoary hatch]

Yeahhhhh it would have meant a bit of a delay unfortunately

My original plan was to wait for 5080 super this year, but the writing was on the wall for super series right when black Friday deals were happening last year

Of course, Jedi survivor be using more vram than horizon forbidden west and I think HFW looks a decent bit better

[steel stream]

Does HFW even have an RT setting?

I can’t remember

[hoary hatch]

I don't think so

[steel stream]

Also Guerrila’s Decima engine is just top notch

[hoary hatch]

But when I see RT and no RT side by sides...I cannot tell the difference

[hoary hatch]

Yes this is true

The only time I've noticed RT was in R&C rift apart (on PS5 no less) in some areas with a lot of reflections

[steel stream]

Rift Apart was an awesome looking game

[maiden prairie]

98% of rt games don't really implement raytracing in any meaningful way

[steel stream]

And pretty fun

[hoary hatch]

I have it accessible via steam family

[maiden prairie]

There are like 2 games where it adds something and I still can't understand why people keep talking about raytracing like it's anything worthwhile mentioning

[hoary hatch]

But if I were to replay it I'd probably just go on PS5 again

Well I haven't seen what it looks like on PS5 in a while

[steel stream]

I was playing games on PS5 recently and it was a bit iffy lol

[hoary hatch]

Oh wait

[steel stream]

I need to play saros on ps5

[hoary hatch]

Rift apart PC port is fully dualsense enabled

[steel stream]

I think most PS5 ports should have dual sense capabilities

[hoary hatch]

I guess

Idk if horizon has dualsense features but I don't want to play that game with a controller anyways

I think rift apart is a decent controller experience

[steel stream]

99% of console ports I do dualsense

[hoary hatch]

Anything that requires real aim I cannot do with a controller

[frank zealot]

IMO RT was mostly a gimmick used to push AI processing onto GPUs even heavier

pre-RT Cores, GPU workload offload was absolutely a thing

but the inclusion of RT/NPU cores dramatically increased their ability to do so

and this would have 100% been the plan for NVidia. "Fuck raster, we want NPU Growth"

[hoary hatch]

Recent raster performance gains, on Nvidia side at least, came from node shrink and die size increases

[frank zealot]

huh, humble choice is pretty good this month:

[frank zealot]

more cores is more cores

[hoary hatch]

Pretty much

Intel did get gains simply from starting from dogshit with alchemist xD

I think rdna has seen decent performance improvements at similar die/nodes gen on gen

[fringe vigil]

Seen the mandalorian movie

Was good

[low sorrel]

Oh this is the Nickelodeon stuff

[smoky orbit]

how about ?

[steel stream]

They just stream some of the games on Nickelodeon, its just meant for kids

[haughty monolith]

Do they keep all the sports betting ads in?

[steel stream]

Gotta start them off young right?

[haughty monolith]

Exactly my thoughts

[haughty monolith]

Also why is dora 3d and gross looking?
Shes more similar to something made out of clay than a cartoon character

[smoky orbit]

still, the destroyed our dorra, dorra isn't meant to look 3d animated, she's meant to look drawn

[steel stream]

A good chunk of kids shows are 3D now

I guess it’s more familiar to them now than 2D

[south shuttle]

noooooooo

2d better :c

[haughty monolith]

No im sure every kid knows rick

[south shuttle]

i recommend watching one stormy night

Yt shorts and TikTok is full of rick and morty clips

Im sure ig reels are too

@steel stream

[steel stream]

But @hoary hatch open source driving does seem cool

[haughty monolith]

What

As in open source drivers?

[steel stream]

That’s the LTT video today

Open source AI driving

[haughty monolith]

Ohh

I thought like driving cars my bad

[steel stream]

Isn’t everyone technically an open source driver

[pallid marsh]

Yes cars

[smoky orbit]

maybe

[haughty monolith]

If they follow the rules of the car

[frank zealot]

Dude at work is doing some stuff involving Python and (very large) PDF Lists
And is managing to eat up all 64GB of his RAM.

And then asked if we could get him a better computer with more RAM.

He didn't realize a computer with 128GB RAM starts at ~3K USD

[pallid marsh]

ECC ddr5?

[frank zealot]

Non-ECC

[haughty monolith]

Must not make joke about Epstein files

[frank zealot]

but at this point 4x32 128GB RAM starts at 1700, and goes up stupid fast

My roommate for example hates having to drive

He wants to turn on Rivian autonomy, take his hands off the wheel, then enter a vegetative mental state

I really don't mind driving, but I really wish I had radar guided cruise control

Lane keep assist would be nice but not a hard requirement

[haughty monolith]

This isn't related but that thing kinda reminds me of the ebike mod that lets you wheelie really easily

[hoary hatch]

I don't get car sick if I'm behind the wheel

I do get car sick if I'm a passenger, particularly in the backseat

Which means I just need to be the one driving

[haughty monolith]

You should try dakar :trol:

[wraith steeple]

For me I get it regardless of where I sit and when I drive

[hoary hatch]

13.5 hours and I only made it from Phoenix to Bakersfield 😭

534
The worst pacing I've ever had

My driving test was so easy ngl, looking back it wasn’t even a test

[haughty monolith]

Awesome

[steel stream]

Just a free pass essentially

[haughty monolith]

How do you know

[wraith steeple]

I spent most of the early half of my life there and wouldn't surprise me if the tests are identical

[wraith steeple]

That is actually concerning

[hoary hatch]

Opening timeline is laggy AF tho so much data

[haughty monolith]

They could just have past experience driving

[hoary hatch]

Mine was so easy
(1) Have pulse
(2) Have $40
(3) Reverse into a spot the size of a 18 wheeler
(4) Make 4 right hand turns at stop signs
(5) [The actual challenge] park in a normal spot in the DMV parking lot next to other cars

[haughty monolith]

You never needed a license to make a car go

[hoary hatch]

And with those done, I was legally allowed to drive anywhere

[steel stream]

Bro that was easier than mine

[steel stream]

Menace

[hoary hatch]

Arizona is a joke man

The driving test did not test my ability to drive whatsoever

[haughty monolith]

No wet test?

[hoary hatch]

What's that

[odd sable]

all it does is something similar to VulkanMod
No, its similar to Cinnabar.

trades off top-end performance for stability in lows
it may do that, that isn't the point

As I've said elsewhere before; correct, stable, fast, in that order

source: i wrote both Cinnabar and MojVK

[wraith steeple]

I miss being young and naïve

[hoary hatch]

Oh like rain?

[haughty monolith]

Driving test in wet conditions yeah

[hoary hatch]

Arizona drivers can't drive in the rain anyway

[haughty monolith]

Lmao

[steel stream]

Nope AI generated I don’t believe you /s

[hoary hatch]

I mean there's like 9 rainy days a year

[steel stream]

So do you just wait for a rainy day or smth?

[odd sable]

i know /s. but see my github
https://github.com/RogueLogix

[south shuttle]

AI always bad agree, never helpful ever never. never.

forgot to put the /s

[haughty monolith]

Sort of
Idk how the tests work, i haven't had one but i know the local driving school has its own airfeild they can do tests on, and one landing strip is always wet or smth

[steel stream]

Damn

[south shuttle]

what dose it mean when you do two /s like /s /s

do they cancel each other

[hoary hatch]

Yes

[steel stream]

They should do that in Michigan, test out kids snow driving abilities

[odd sable]

it hasn't
VK actually shits on AMD and Intel cards, because we are doing dumb things

[hoary hatch]

Ah yeah....no we don't do that

I had to learn how to drive in the rain on the highway at 60mph during monsoon season

[haughty monolith]

We get a bit of everything here in Estonia (sun, rain, snow, acid, ect) so i can see why they have it

[odd sable]

is it a bad idea? yes, very much so
is it going to change? at some point yes
is that day today? i fucking wish

[pallid marsh]

But do you get Russian parachuters yet?

[haughty monolith]

No we're still getting drones

[steel stream]

No better method to learn

[haughty monolith]

And jets

[steel stream]

One time I was driving on the highway and couldn’t see 3ft in front of me, that was fun driving

[wraith steeple]

Akn, is the bar that low for testing?

[steel stream]

It depends on the tester, some are super strict from what I’ve heard, others are pretty easy

[wraith steeple]

I see. Then I guess it's regional

My area, the bar is comedically low

[hoary hatch]

So many rocks on the highways there

[south shuttle]

looks like a generic chinese car (no offense)

[pallid marsh]

It's a hot wheels

[hoary hatch]

I think it looks good
I think it looks like a Japanese automaker design, not a Ferrari design

[steel stream]

Fine car but not a Ferrari

[granite dirge]

I was so excited but then got so many crashes when I trying to do the driving after the character creation that I had to return it on steam I hope they do fixes soon.

[south shuttle]

i'd never guess that's a ferrari without the logo

[hoary hatch]

If it had an Acura or infiniti badge I would be far less confused

[south shuttle]

this from byd looks more like ferrari than that

[steel stream]

Yah

[south shuttle]

or is it just me

[low sorrel]

this breaks my brain

[hoary hatch]

They just wanna AI

[low sorrel]

no the fact that a 3090 is worth more still

[hoary hatch]

That's a McLaren?

[hoary hatch]

AI

24gb vram, cuda

[low sorrel]

wasn't the 3090 like down to like 500 bucks at one point

[hoary hatch]

Yeah that was before running LLM at home got good

[hoary hatch]

Are these not the same car

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

That doesn’t look too bad

I like the lights

[south shuttle]

real

[hoary hatch]

I like it, but it does not evoke the name Ferrari

[steel stream]

Yah

[hoary hatch]

Not that I would ever afford one anyway

[steel stream]

Nah I won’t buy it because of principle now

[hoary hatch]

But it just looks like a Japanese car which I quite like

[low sorrel]

neither does this

[hoary hatch]

Nice looking Mazda

[steel stream]

Fugly ass rear

[hoary hatch]

Wait the fuck up

[hoary hatch]

Okay I'm going through Ferrari website now
When did they all get ugly

[low sorrel]

covid

[low sorrel]

[hoary hatch]

Why don't they go back to having like the F430 and California

[south shuttle]

the car looks like it has spent all of it's day on the internet

[hoary hatch]

Sorry, the special series (I assume more racing type?) looks largely fine and feral like

Ferrari like*

But the "range section" (I assume this is their more road type models?) are weird af

Oh there's a 296 range and 296 special

Yeah the 296 is what I picture a Ferrari to be

[low sorrel]

limited production

[indigo walrus]

Great. Now all I can hear is Shannon's voice (GTARP) saying "Can you say False Start? That's right! Good job!"

[hoary hatch]

Okay the best looking car on this Website is still the LaFerrari

[low sorrel]

it's a v6 hybrid

la ferrari is mid

[frank zealot]

I'm glad I could share the pain

[indigo walrus]

From one of the latest GTARP episodes (if you watch said content):

"I have a question for you Chuck: is your dog a boy or a girl?"
I immediately knew what was coming next. 🤣

[hoary hatch]

At least Lamborghini still has cars that look like a Lamborghini

[steel stream]

The the Ferrari

[pallid marsh]

Gross only 6 cylinders

[hoary hatch]

The Ferrari the Ferrari

I think I'm partial to the 911 and C8

Idk what Italy is doing anymore

[low sorrel]

mclaren looks fine

[hoary hatch]

Not that I've really lusted after sports cars anyway

[hoary hatch]

NGL I used to think they were pretty ugly, but now I see the design is iconic and refined

[steel stream]

I really like the older air cooled ones, and the modern ones, but the cars around the early 2000s late 90s were bad

Body is ok, but those headlights just ruin it

[low sorrel]

oh

i thought you were dissing late 90s supercars

[low sorrel]

i want this

[hoary hatch]

Yeah watching 2000s top gear episodes the 911s were just hideous

[steel stream]

Gimme one of these

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

Or any Porsche past 2006

[steel stream]

Bridge

Jump

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

Any 2 door Porsche after 2006 sorry

I do not fuck with any of the 4 doors

[hoary hatch]

Porsche still makes the ugliest SUV/crossover

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

Ok touché

That’s horrible

[pallid marsh]

Ew suvs

[low sorrel]

@steel stream you want this one?

[south shuttle]

[south shuttle]

[low sorrel]

in a roundabout way i kinda like it

[south shuttle]

metal

[low sorrel]

@steel stream you said you liked old 2 door porsches right?

[hoary hatch]

How are we defining doors

[low sorrel]

hatches

[pallid marsh]

Ain't no way that roof is supporting you in a roll over

[low sorrel]

this was made in 1939

i don't think any thing was made for crash safety

[south shuttle]

nah look back to during ww1

[pallid marsh]

Designed
1942–1943

[low sorrel]

best 4 door porchose

[south shuttle]

some are literally just artillery on wheels held together by scrap

[pallid marsh]

Oh the bulb car thought you were talking about the Elefant/Ferdinand Porsche

[south shuttle]

[low sorrel]

[pallid marsh]

Tis now a tank comrade

[south shuttle]

tonk

[steel stream]

I’d be able to beat traffic for once

[pallid marsh]

What drugs are we trafficking

[low sorrel]

oh yeah akn you'll never guess what my parents yelling to me about driving now

[pallid marsh]

Driving too slow again

[blazing axle]

Looks nicer than the new ferarri

[steel stream]

Using too many turn signals?

[low sorrel]

not pressing down the handbrake button when im pulling it up

because i'm going to wear out the handbrake

[pallid marsh]

Y'all use the hand break?

I only use the hand break on hills

[teal orbit]

Do they always change the setting on their screwdriver so they don't engage the ratchet

Wouldn't wanna wear out your screwdrivers faster

[steel stream]

Jerry it’s not F1, but I might get free executive or whatever some highest level tickets are to the Detroit Grand Prix this weekend

[low sorrel]

i feel like if the gears fail on the handbrake on a car

i would have had much much bigger problems before then

[low sorrel]

they don't use ratcheting or electric screwdrivers

[steel stream]

They crank that shit by hand

[teal orbit]

Car would be 100 years old before you wear out the handbrake ratchet 🥀

[low sorrel]

either that or drill go drill

[teal orbit]

Although I always put the parking brake on because I don't see a reason not to

[low sorrel]

do you not

[steel stream]

Jerry I’ll get to go into the pits for Detroit GP

[low sorrel]

box box box

[steel stream]

Let me at the cars I’m an engineer

[low sorrel]

indy car right

[pallid marsh]

If I'm not parked on a hill I don't touch it

[low sorrel]

i always pull it

[pallid marsh]

It's good practice to use it

But mine is a POS to use its a foot activated one

[low sorrel]

oh yeah

i also get roasted on the minivan for pulling the handbrake too tight
