yup

#

while running the same settings

late sorrel
#

hmm, that’s weird

#

At least make sure you’ve got it into your graphics card most of the time though

fleet flame
#

i only have one hdmi port on the outside of the case

late sorrel
#

What 2080 do you have?

fleet flame
#

nvidia geforce rtx 2080

late sorrel
#

Like brand?

#

MSI, Zodiak, ect

fleet flame
#

republic of gamers

late sorrel
#

Plug it into one of them probably @fleet flame

#

That should help

fleet flame
#

i found another hdmi port

#

that is on the external side of the case which is adjacent to the graphics card

#

thought it is not next to the fan

#

Just restarted my computer let’s see if it registers different ally

#

Differently*

late sorrel
#

It should be good

fleet flame
#

The input from the keyboard to the display was delayed a bit after I initially changed it

#

let me boot up one of rainbow six and ill see if its changed

#

it worked thanks lots tinted

#

i went from a 120MB capacity to a 8010MB capacity

#

and the key board delay has cleared up

late sorrel
#

Yee, two of my friends didn’t plug their HDMIs in right, they had like 5fps and not good graphics for a while.

dark quarry
#

Yeah, you only want to use the PC's MoBo HDMI port if you're not using a Dedicated GPU.

late sorrel
#

For the future, the top three deals with GPUs are

  1. did you plug it in right
  2. drivers working?
  3. is Nvidia experience working
fiery nacelle
#
  1. plug in PCIe 6/8 pin power too
#

LOL

late sorrel
#

yee

weary wharf
#

I have a question for you computer nerds could some one help me find a new gaming laptop for both college and video games please dm if you're willing

fleet flame
#

It’s good to build your own or get someone to build one for you

fleet canopy
#

~>

#

It's laptops

#

not desktops

fleet flame
#

Oops

fleet canopy
#

Le oofers

fleet flame
#

What is he trying to run though like Minecraft or rainbow six seige on max settings

late sorrel
#

not sure

fleet flame
#

Also a budget it needed

#

@weary wharf

#

And he is offline

weary wharf
#

1500 but preferably less

#

max is what im willing

fleet flame
#

Okay

late sorrel
#

Cyberpunk and GTFO

fleet flame
#

What games are you trying to play

weary wharf
#

well for example i also have siege and a lot of other games that my current desktop cant handle very well

fleet flame
#

You want a laptop just to be correct

weary wharf
#

to be honest i just want something that will last longer and keep up with games as well as allow me to be used for college

#

yes

#

laptop

#

not flexible to change to desktop

#

er poor wordage but you get what I mean

fleet canopy
#

So

#

1500$ max budget
Should at least run Siege and other games
Must be laptop

#

Basically?

weary wharf
#

yes

#

it can honestly go up to 1600 (US dollars) but im not trying to push it

fleet flame
#

Do you care what it Loos like

weary wharf
#

i mean

#

id prefer if it didnt look edgy and bad

#

i like slick and simple

#

this one in particular

fleet flame
#

I mean do you care if you can tell if it is a gaming laptop

weary wharf
#

kind of

#

i dont mind colors

#

just if its massive or really thick

fleet flame
#

That looks like a good computer

#

Has good ram

late sorrel
#

There’s this one @weary wharf

weary wharf
#

also should add that im planning on getting microsoft office

#

which is an extra 100 dollars

late sorrel
#

I’ve heard good stuff about omen in general

fleet canopy
#

nice pfp

weary wharf
#

ok the laptop is sexy itself

#

yeah

#

thanks

#

I'm liking this one

fleet flame
#

Gobby that computers graphics processor that u sent from amazon users intel i7 9750 for the card but the processor if I tell uhd 630 which is not the best

late sorrel
#

The one I sent or he sent?

weary wharf
#

I sent

late sorrel
#

That’s got a 2070 in it

#

iirc

#

The 9750’s UHD 630 doesn’t really matter

weary wharf
#

mind if i ask what that is

late sorrel
#

That’s integrated graphics

fleet flame
#

Nvm what I said

late sorrel
#

All laptops need Integrated graphics

#

because they can’t always have graphics cards

fleet flame
#

I had issues earlier today that I’m mixing up listen to tinted he knows more than I do

late sorrel
#

The higher spec CPUs don’t have IG because it takes up space in the actual chip

#

Windows needs graphics to be able to run

#

Like open windows, shut windows, watch videos on chrome, ect.

fleet flame
#

@weary wharf

weary wharf
#

sorry internet went out

#

ok thank you

#

for all the help

#

what is the difference between a1060 and a 1070

fleet flame
#

One is better

weary wharf
#

oh well ok

late sorrel
#

higher number better

weary wharf
#

it work gooder

late sorrel
#

1070 is 40% better than a 1060

weary wharf
#

oh ok cool

#

my current pc is a 1060

#

its not bad but

#

idk uh well thanks for that recommendation

fleet flame
#

40% is a lot for computer specs

late sorrel
#

That’s what I found at the least

#

I’m sure there’s something better, I’m just not up to date on laptops

weary wharf
#

yeah of course

fleet flame
#

PCs are better for gaming

weary wharf
#

ill shoot for the one i found first but if not ill go for this one

#

oh i know

#

im just restricted to laptop

fleet flame
#

Ik

weary wharf
#

because my gma is paying for it

fleet flame
#

Gma?

weary wharf
#

grandma

#

sdfhds

fleet flame
#

That’s what I thought

#

Just to check thoufh

#

Make sure to thank your grandma

weary wharf
#

im going to college and she offered to buy me a laptop

#

oh yeah im already painting something for her

#

as a thank you gift

fleet flame
#

That’s nice

weary wharf
#

alright thanks alot for the help

radiant minnow
#

i have 2gb of ram what games can i run and do yous reckon ill be able to run gtfo when it comes out???

tight cliff
#

In all honesty?

#

no

#

2GB of RAM is way, way too low for nowadays' standards

#

I believe you'll require at least a minimum of 8

fiery nacelle
#

With 2GB of RAM? Probably only ancient or simpler modern games

#

@radiant minnow what's your system specs?

radiant minnow
#

some xeon from an lga 750 board

#

500gb hdd

#

and a gtx650ti

fiery nacelle
#

Surely you mean LGA 771/775?

#

A dual core Xeon?

#

CPUs on LGA 771 / 775 are based on the Core 2 family of Intel CPUs

dense wasp
#

yeah 2gb of ram I wouldn't recommend

#

8 gb would be more of a low-spec thing

abstract tulip
#

Yup, 16 is the new norm tskSip

late sorrel
#

when you buy a 2080Ti:

thorny granite
#

Ahem.

#

With two gigs of ram you might be able to run vanilla minecraft

#

I have 2x16. My pc so far will run anything I throw at it.

pallid cedar
#

yeah 2 GB is basically useless for modern gaming. Current games run between 8 and 12GB, so 16Gb will future=proof it for awhile

abstract kite
#

@thorny granite except a second tab of chrome :p

thorny granite
#

It will run multiple tabs of chrome thank you.

#

I’ve had upwards of 20 tabs open before

late sorrel
#

nice

#

my rasberry pi tanks after 5

abstract kite
#

lies, no one ever got beyond the 3rd tab

thorny granite
#

I have 32 gigs of ram so like...

late sorrel
#

that’s 1 gig

thorny granite
#

Fuck da police

late sorrel
#

nice to meet you Extra Thick

pallid cedar
#

lol jokes aside my 32Gb of ram can handle 100+ chrome tabs

#

I think it got to 120something before lagging HARD

fleet canopy
#

Lol jokes aside I don’t think chrome ever crashed when I spammed ctrl t

harsh terrace
#

Chrome slows way down when I open 20+ tabs

fiery nacelle
#

@radiant minnow your system specs would be equivalent to a Core 2 Duo/Quad system from 2006/7/8 I suppose?

#

The GTX650Ti is probably 10% to 15% less powerful than the GTX 750 Ti or R7 260X or the more modern GT 1030 or RX 550

dark quarry
#

To be fair, there are still some econobox-style (<$300) PCs out there with 4GB of RAM, but I haven’t seen anything decent with less than 8GB in some time.

late sorrel
#

the raspberry pi 4 will have 4 gigs and will be 55 dollars

#

should be great for an internet machine!

hexed horizon
#

Raspberry pi 4

#

The micro all in mobo

harsh terrace
#

Cool

dense wasp
#

Yeah I saw a video about that. Super interesting indeed

fleet canopy

Fookin spanish

#

Pls translate, no trying to be mean

#

@lavish briar to further elaborate about my rage earlier.. Windows updated and I use Voice Meter with extra cables installed and have all my audio routed n such.. mainly used it for when I was streaming n such but it's just so nice to have more control over my audio so I still use it

#

Anyways.. When Windows updated everything broke.. the cables weren't even detected as virtual audio cables they were supposedly Speakers

#

I ended up having to completely reinstall Voicemeter and the cables

fleet canopy
#

Oof

silver sable
#

shit was so triggering

#

like it legit worked 10 mins before I did the restart and did the update

lavish briar
#

Shit, as someone who occasionally uses virtual audio cables that's a serious pain in the arse. I really don't like Windows either. my range stems from on the morning of my final exam I wanted to use my computer to do some last minute revision, but no, a fucking windows update which took an hour. The thing I wanted to revise came up in the paper and because I couldn't get on my computer, I couldn't look at my notes on it. Least to say I was so pissed off. Cannot stand microsoft. I feel your pain Dimmizer.

silver sable
#

Yea

#

I would LOVE to just use linux and only linux and I actually tried recently but it's not just THAT easy.. like I've become so accustom to how I have things setup with Windows and some of them you can't do on Linux or you can but it's just such an effort

lavish briar
#

I know what you mean, I can't speak for Linux but for me the only advantage to apple is that at least they don't force you to do updates. I'm going to get crucified for saying this but I'm quite tempted to get a macbook of some kind for University as there's no way I'm having windows updates interrupting me lmao.

silver sable
#

lol

#

I had Windows updated completely disabled for awhile but with all these new exploit/vulnerabilities floating about and needed to do the security updates I reenabled them

lavish briar
#

See I tried to completely disable them the day before my exam, but I think because it already started preparing it updated anyway which annoyed me even more 😂

silver sable
#

lol

#

yeaaa

lavish briar
#

I disabled it through regeddit but it still went through, damn windows updates

silver sable
#

nahh

chrome chasm
#

Activate Window!

silver sable
#

you run Pro?

#

Salt?

lavish briar
#

Nope

#

Standard

silver sable
#

ahh

#

yeaa

#

need Pro xD

lavish briar
#

Is that why it didn't work?

#

Are you shitting me, lmfao

silver sable
#

Windows likes to revert changes after restarts n shit

lavish briar
#

Is there any way to disable it without pro?

silver sable
#

I believe there's like a defer update thing in the advanced settings but it only lets you stop them for like 90 days or something

#

then it will want to install

lavish briar
#

I would love to abandon windows, I have no love for this OS anymore, nothing but contempt XD

silver sable
#

Yea

chrome chasm
#

kinda forced for gaming

lavish briar
#

Microsoft: "Oh sorry, you don't have the DLC to disable updates"

GG

lavish briar
#

Where are these beautiful advanced settings that you speak of and oh cheers haha

silver sable
#

That's how I disable them in Window 10 Pro

lavish briar
#

Oh

silver sable
#

works beautifully

#

but gotta have Pro sadly

lavish briar
#

How much is pro?

fleet canopy
#

More than a regular Win 10

chrome chasm
#

^

silver sable
#

lolololol

lavish briar
#

😭

#

I will dedicate a life long mission to finding a way to stop windows updates without pro 😂

silver sable
#

Heh

#

It's hard because Windows will revert changes made to system files n such. Might not happen right away but it does happen

#

because it's trying to keep you "Protected" and Up to Date

#

etc..

lavish briar
#

"Protected" by fucking my PC 👏

#

Kaspersky is my supreme protector

silver sable
#

the only reason the group policy editor change works is because that's more for businesses and such etc.. and obviously you don't wanna revert those kinda changes on a business level.. could seriously mess with things

lavish briar
#

Yeah I agree, but they really don't think of students and literally anyone who has anything going on with their life 🙄

silver sable
#

Heh

#

Yea I've always used KMSpico and I just happen to have a good copy of it.. apparently a lot of the other copies out there are scams and just install abunch of malware etc..

#

mine actually does what it's suppose to which is just activate windows for like 90 days and then i get sent back to a trial

#

I just use KMSpico again tho

#

Haha

chrome chasm
#

I need to get money for a 2080TI + new motherboard with CPU for Cyberpunk 2077

#

I got 10 months to work for it.

silver sable
#

It's crazy to think we still pay for Windows really I mean.. idk I understand Microsoft needs money but in todays age like Microsoft makes so much money off Xbox and other products and with Linux getting a lot better then it used to be and it's free and there's other OS's out there that are linux based or even https://reactos.org/

#

tons of things out there that can be done

#

i dont see why Microsoft doesn't just make Windows free

modern yew
#

Is the nvidia SUPER cards better than the 2080 ti?

#

I

silver sable
#

Yes the new Super Cards will be better

modern yew
#

I'm not familiar with those ones

silver sable
#

for sure

modern yew
#

Ah I see

silver sable
#

Super cards will have a much higher bit-interface which = more bandwidth for the cards

#

even the 2060 Super will be 256bit

chrome chasm
#

Ok then...

silver sable
#

instead of 192

chrome chasm
#

I need one of those SUPER card

#

now

#

thanks

silver sable
#

and it has 8GB instead of 6

#

of VRAM

chrome chasm
#

i'm getting more broke in 10 months

fleet canopy
#

Well

chrome chasm
#

SUPER MEGA INSANE 2080TI 16VRAM

fleet canopy
#

I think it'd be 14 GB

#

Unless that was leaked?

silver sable
#

I'm going over it again 1 sec

modern yew
#

curious what the benchmarks are

chrome chasm
#

I just want 4k CP2077

#

XD

#

I'm a sucker for eye candy. That's why I play PC.

silver sable
#

Ok so not entirely sure about the 2060 becoming 256bit interface or bus w/e but it is going to be 8GB at 14Gbps the only card that's changing it seems is the 2080 Super that's going to 16Gbps still stays with 8GB of VRAM tho

#

actually

#

1 sec

modern yew
#

2 x 2080 Ti SUPERS in the future for that dank 4K 144 FPS

#

:D

fleet canopy
#

Hmm

silver sable
#

ok

fleet canopy
#

But would 1 2080 Ti be enough?

silver sable
#

so yes

#

GeForce RTX 2060 Super—8GB GDDR6 @ 14Gbps, 448GB/s memory bandwidth

modern yew
#

Depending on the game

silver sable
#

GeForce RTX 2060—6GB GDDR6 @ 14Gbps, 336GB/s memory bandwidth

#

so yea the 2060 Super is going to be 256bit

fleet canopy
#

Ah yeah you're right I kinda forgot 4K is a bitch to run at high frames

chrome chasm
#

What about 8K?

silver sable
fleet canopy
#

Hmm

#

No

modern yew
#

8K CSGO

#

Easy

fleet canopy
#

Easy

chrome chasm
#

8k Baldur's Gate II

fleet canopy
#

Wrong

#

Think of the good games

#

8K Minecraft

chrome chasm
#

Minceraft? a game? hahahhahahahahha

#

minecraft is the perfect video game

fleet canopy
#

How about

#

Crysis?

bronze cloak
#

can't run it

urban gulch
#

😦

dense wasp
#

But the 2080 ti super wasn’t confirmed yet, right?

fleet canopy
#

I mean

#

I definitely heard that there was a 2080 Ti

#

But I haven’t read much on them

dense wasp
#

not to sure that there will be now,
A 2080 super yeah, but from what I gathered, the 2080 ti is still the top dog

fleet canopy
#

I pretty much heard 2080 Super would be a 2080 Ti

#

Or it could just been mixed up with a 2080 Ti would be the price of a 2080 after it was set

sick reef
#

Saw one source that stated 2080 Super TI and 2070 Super Ti is coming a month or two after release of the rest Super RTX

chrome chasm
#

For the low price of 3000$... 😞

#

Or something close

fleet canopy
#

Really?

#

They wouldn't do that price wtf

fiery nacelle
#

BUY AMD NAVI

fleet canopy
#

No

#

Still prefer NoVideo

chrome chasm
#

AMD can't reach the power of nvidia. Good for mid tier. But 2080Ti or whatever super they releasing is where i'm going.

fleet canopy
#

Exactly

#

Which is why I have this master weapon of mass destruction

dense wasp
#

Amd isn’t gunning for the top dogs with Navi, so it’s all good,

#

Their cpus looks really good though

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

AMD only seems to really be competing with Intel on CPUs

harsh terrace
#

@chrome chasm wdym they can't?

fleet canopy
#

They could

#

But AMD is no-no on high performance

#

AMD like mid range

#

Because currently having midlife crisis

chrome chasm
#

I dunno if they could or not. But what matters is the facts. No AMD card can reach the power of a 2080+

#

And this is what I care. I want top gun. Nvidia is the only one that delivers.

fleet canopy
#

Well

#

Why exactly

#

It's only like, not that much to have top gun lmao

harsh terrace
#

Eeehh... Albeit very, very poorly...

#

I believe AMD will have something that beats the 2080 ti early next year

fleet canopy
#

I mean

#

Maybe

harsh terrace
#

It's on their roadmap lol

#

It's not a maybe...

fleet canopy
#

They have a roadmap?

#

H m m

harsh terrace
#

Mhm.. they've stuck to it very well

late sorrel
#

ono not a roadmap

harsh terrace
#

Very few companies do

fleet canopy
#

Z-Z-Z-ZEN

#

V-V-N-NEXT-GEN

#

Maybe

chrome chasm
#

But then again. Nvidia got the "super" line up

fleet canopy
#

Yus

chrome chasm
#

If AMD bring the competition to high end it will be really awesome. More choice, reduced prices.

fleet canopy
#

True

chrome chasm
#

But nvidia also play dirty with game more optimized for their card.

#

Dunno if those claim are well founded.

#

Or just a marketing flag "Best played with NVIDIA"

fleet canopy
#

Best played with NOVIDEO

chrome chasm
#

Sorry Harold. I don't laugh at this one. Try harder.

harsh terrace
#

I guess? Developers usually optimize both AMD and Nvidia cards

#

I've rarely seen AMD cards not optimized

#

Although it out there...

urban gulch
#

Mostly intel is supported, a lot of games, especially 4 years ago, amd was shit

#

^ It was a shame really.

#

But now it's back to okay again

fleet canopy
#

US

#

2080 EVGA selling at 550 USD

dense wasp
#

If Navi sells well I could see them releasing a high end card next year yeah

#

This year they have no interest in competing with the 2080ti, from what my dude at Amd said anyway

urban gulch
#

Yep

chrome chasm
#

I think AMD are at a safe place in the market concerning GPU. But CPU it's another story.

#

Most people go for a brand name first.

fleet canopy
#

And it's Mintel

dense wasp
#

I wouldn’t mind a 3950x to play around with,

#

That with a 2080ti could do some damage

#

this is what you should be getting 😉

#

lmao I was watching it yesterday

#

But

#

Can it run Crysis?

@dense wasp that's epic. I want that, but needs more storage.

True. A year later, though, my MSI still runs for a good 4-5 hours on battery. I mean, it’s still not ideal, but at least I can do what I need to do without having to worry about plugging in right away.

#

Obviously, if I’m gaming on it, it’ll die quicker, but I don’t do a lot of my PC gaming on the go... lol

late sorrel
#

woah that’s more than mine does

dark quarry
#

Considering I’ve been spoiled by MacBooks for the better part of the last 5 years, 4-5 hours is still pretty disappointing, but it’s not bad.

i accidently uhh bent my HMDI cable

#

like 45 degrees

#

but I bent it back and it works

#

it was still attached to my computer when I grabbed my computer to bring to the other room

and I forgot it was still plugged in

but...

#

luckily my HDMI port on the graphicscard still works

so does the HDMI cable

#

Could somebody tell me why Mixed Reality headsets so.... not widely supported?

#

Mixed Reality headsets support only smaller games

#

Like Beat Saber

#

And Beat Saber...

#

Oh and also Beat Saber.

#

Oh and also VRChat

urban gulch
#

Because Mixed Reality Headsets are not as good quality as people think they are, they are mostly used for basic games. So people don't want to add support "just" for the mixed reality. Also most people use Oculus and Vive.

hexed horizon
#

I never said "just for MR"

#

But understandable.

#

Do you think there is any potential in Mixed Reality?

#

I mean, they are practically thesame.

#

Doesn't matter if Acer, Dell, Asus, HP, or god knows who makes them.

#

its usually just the way the "headstrap" works

urban gulch
#

They are not the same. Also need a lot more work than the official steam stuff & the oculus.

hexed horizon
#

Well, there are differences. Yes.

#

But they all use the same, Microsoft created controllers.

#

And they also don't need lightboxes as far as I know.

urban gulch
#

I dunno about that one

hexed horizon
#

They usually have the sensors on the headset itself, so it's perfect for Beat Saber, that's for sure.

urban gulch
#

Yep

hexed horizon
#

Because you are going to look:

  1. in one direction
  2. at your controllers
urban gulch
#

Although if you don't wanna spend too much, i recommend oculus

hexed horizon
#

Yeah, the Ocolus S was also great. It basically replaced the older Ocoluss

urban gulch
#

But please do not buy the quest

#

it's a mistake

hexed horizon
#

Was it?

#

I heard it was an, all in one.

urban gulch
#

Yeah

hexed horizon
#

For Beat Saber and VRChat only

urban gulch
#

but performance it's shit

hexed horizon
#

Obviously...

#

Beatsaber and VRChat

urban gulch
#

VRChat is also very limited on the quest

hexed horizon
#

It's always this two.

urban gulch
#

you gotta hide almost all avatars

late sorrel
#

See, I looked at the games list and was very disappointed

hexed horizon
#

Then only Beat Saber!

late sorrel
#

I mean like I’d get accessibility to more games by shelling out the extra 100$

abstract tulip
#

obviously the quest was a created mistake from the beginning. you are lacking alot of core features. and at a massive price cut.

urban gulch
#

Well the idea is great, all-in-one VR Headset? Great!

hexed horizon
#

So, all the youtubers I watched about it....

urban gulch
#

I'd buy. But not with less performance

hexed horizon
#

they were sellouts?

urban gulch
#

They probs only played beat saber

hexed horizon
#

S M H

#

I mean.... on the go VR ? To brag about? Maybe on parties?

#

playing some Beatsaber?

#

Maybe.

#

The... Ocolus GO? Was it?

urban gulch
#

Oculus quest

#

or go

#

idk

hexed horizon
#

Similar? But basically for android level

#

nonono

#

the Ocolus GO was also a thing

#

it was for... portable mobile VR

#

the quest is.. portable PC VR ?

urban gulch
#

yeah but limited

#

i still recommend the original oculus rift

hexed horizon
#

Obviously.

#

The Original? Or Ocolus Rift S ?

urban gulch
#

.. or the index #notsponsored

hexed horizon
#

The index became the best VR headset avaliable.

#

The Vive held that place for 2 and a half years tho.

urban gulch
#

Yep!

hexed horizon
#

Or was it 3?

urban gulch
#

Long.

#

Or wait, price will lower soon enough.

hexed horizon
#

Well, we still got a Vive (under repair with warranty)

#

We bought it just... last December.

#

One problem I have is

#

that I can not wear my googles while playing with it

#

So that kinda sucks.

urban gulch
#

Ah okay.

urban gulch
#

Wait you mean glasses right @hexed horizon ?

hexed horizon
#

Fuck

#

Thats it

urban gulch
#

Huh?

hexed horizon
#

Yes

#

My glasses

#

I messed up.

urban gulch
#

You can have glasses on in vr

hexed horizon
#

Yes

#

It is extremely uncomfortable and I don't want to risk bending my glasses for example

urban gulch
#

Ah

#

Aight then

hexed horizon
#

Also, lenses touching the lenses

#

Im not sure if I could scratch the lenses inside the Vive, don't want to risk it tho

urban gulch
#

Depending on how your eyes are, some people don’t need glasses

#

Even tho they need glasses without vr

#

Best is to test it out in a public vr café

hexed horizon
#

I'm really not sure about my vision, all I know that I wear glasses.

#

Lol.

abstract tulip
#

Depends on the glasses.

urban gulch
#

^

abstract tulip
#

its a situation of that you need at most a pair that doesent move around that much in case of beat saber, mine is like conformed with the vive. so that is not a issue for my case. otherwise there is a chance of scratching the glass of the vive

hexed horizon
#

beat saber

urban gulch
#

Like i said, best way to test it is going to a VR Café

hexed horizon
#

So I'm supposted to drink a cappuchino while playing VR

urban gulch
#

.. yes

hexed horizon
#

Nice

steady summit
#

Get contact lenses, easy to put in, and a cheap alternative

hexed horizon
#

Smh

#

Expensive

urban gulch
steady summit
#

Well 15€ for 1 month lens

urban gulch
#

180€ a year

#

That’s expensive for dogs

steady summit
#

It depends in whivh variety ypu buy them, often people buy them for half a year for like 70€ which is 140€

#

Glasses should be changed every 2 year, and middle default glasses and a frame cost in total 300€, so in many cases contact lenses are a cheaper alternative

fiery nacelle
#

So Navi pre-launch prices were jacked up to bait Nvidia into launching Super at higher prices?

chrome chasm
#

They both dud tge same

#

They will maje some sale at full price. Then slowly reduce prices.

fiery nacelle
#

5700XT at USD 399 is really nice

#

wished they had a 5800XT at say 549

chrome chasm

They got good prices for the mid tier computer that's no doubt about it. Really tempting for this group of consumer.

oh no

This happened before

When my brother was changing a rotten/rusty lightbulb

It fixed itself

Somehow

Something with the power outlet If I remember correctly

urban gulch

Usb’s won’t fix through a power outlet :p

hexed horizon

Not sure how it got fixed.

#

But it's seemed like it just... fixed itself.

#

Last time it happened, right now 2 of my USB ports on the mobo are fried.

chrome chasm

How much usb port you got?

hexed horizon

Two USB 2.0, four USB3.0, one of them is.... like red for some reason

The red one might be 3.1

chrome chasm

I get the main point

hexed horizon
#

Anyways

chrome chasm
#

What 3.1 does more?

hexed horizon
#

Maybe its the powersupplys fault

#

All tho its not the cheapest shit but its 80+ but not bronze

chrome chasm
#

A bad powersupply tend to fry pieces.

hexed horizon
#

Im aware

#

But it wasn't cheap

late sorrel
#

3.1 is a faster connection

hexed horizon
#

At least for my buid

late sorrel
#

It’s not as fast as a C port

#

It’s not a 3.1

#

there’s 4 3.0’s and 2 2.0’s

hexed horizon
#

Still. I believe 2 USB ports on my mobo are dead.

#

If lucky, only temporary

#

It fixed itself last time.

yeah, GTFO could always run with more FPS on SLI 1080ti-s

wait hold on!

GTFO uses more CPU

Will you gather data to see which gou/cpu run better/worse and focus on ootimizing them all?

dense wasp

Saying that, IMO it actually runs pretty well for an alpha

#

@hexed horizon yeah atm it's a bit more cpu heavy, but as said, alpha etc.
Things will go back and forth until we find a nice middle ground

Yeah we got the info that Alpha 1 will be actually pretty smooth
