Sometimes things run really bad because they run on a universal controller, instead of the one required for them.
Better than that the good old days of nothing until you install software.
some motherboards have a warning that certain M.2 slots have less priority over certain Sata slots for SSD/HDDs
Probably not a problem.
so if you use an M.2 slot, your sata slot 3, for example, won't work or vice versa.
If it ran on PCH it'd kill the board.
not at all, my roommate's mobo runs this way
it's more of a thing on small form factor boards
micro and mini
that too, yes
People should regardless read their manuals more. My board per example has weird thing where it will always prioritize CPU lanes to the M.2 slot in specific set-ups, which made me choke my board to death a few times
^ yeah
And you can have both on PCH, but not the PCIe slot on CPU and the M.2 on PCH
Odd design decision, but I just switched slot when I could
Usually, periferals are dedicated a specific part of processing power, and that includes all USB, I/O, and SATA.
And sometimes M.2 and PCIe slots.
Varies greatly, obviously
High core and lane capabilities, like AMD, can offer great PCIe possibility, and thus have no need for large specific reductions.
I've only built 2 AMD systems, I have no real Intel experience
but there are some crossover
44-lane, whilst musing in theory, as in example of mine, can run a decent 16/16/8 and 4 PCH lanes
But slot space is 16-16-16-16-4-8.
you'd take a hit on bandwith though, wouldn't you?
or I guess that would depend on the board in use
Not really, that'd depend on the rest of the stuff, mostly.
Labcat, I looked up my mobo specs, will this make any diff?
And firmware is up to date btw, figured I'd answer that from earlier.
And controller?
ah, it tells you there that SATA 4/5 are unavailable when using an M.2, but the M.2 should take priority, not sure why it shows less performance :/
but it could be a bandwith issue
Will it say something about the controller on the specs? I have no clue what that is tbh :/
First off, M.2 controller.
It should be in the list of devices.
In the setting where you can see such.
Or just install it, again if it is already installed
My own setup would have no issues what so ever with bandwith in any shape or form. PCH not included, but generally not throttled, even with many drives.
When I did throttle it, it was because I put an Intel 900P PCIe drive on the PCH lane.
And yeah, as soon as it tried anything, everything else died.
So I've seen timings and CAS Latency on RAM, what is it even?
Is the reason it's slower than advertised is because my mobo is pcie 2x2?
I'm assuming userbenchmark isn't very accurate, but this is what the official app for the m.2 told me for results.
I don't think userbenchmark would be inaccurate
The web wants to get the most accurate info for you
Haha well userbenchmark put me at 551/456 and the app 827/772
Userbenchmark is as accurate as you let it be
Userbenchmark is as accurate as the application can make it
Say: I'm playing a game and using a lot of CPU, my ranking won't be as good as if I had all tabs closed and was running like linux
I wouldn't think a single program wouldn't affect too much
seems to be directly due to the slot being pcie2x2 https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/m-2-running-in-pcie-gen-2x2.3425295/
But yeah I ran it the other day playing r6s and let me tell you, everything tested poor haha
In that case, well I would go with the official app.
That's what I figured spartan, was just trying to confirm ty
But then again, taking the average of everything is also good
if it's not updated, maybe see if there is a new BIOS update for your board
Do you go through your bios to see for updates?
no you need to flash the mobo with a FAT32 formatted USB with the update on it
go to the motherboard's website for support downloads
Well I can tell you I haven't done that since I got the mobo haha
well I'd suggest doing that
So there's probably an update somewhere lmao
usually you don't need to update a BIOS, only if something isn't working properly
so def give that s try
It's still worth doing once a year in my opinion
Seems to just be about a setting.
most likely
It's not required, I just prefer to stay current
Is there settings I can look at to see if I' mdoing something wrong?
I can provide plenty of screenshots ๐
hard to tell without being in front of your screen really
I would imagine the default userbench run to be accurate
I'd suggest telling us steps before you do them
But yeah, there's not much that we could do sans physically being there.
Haven't done anything but run benchmarks and update the ssd firmware Mirror's
that's good
did you restart your pc since installing drivers?
I always forget you have to -reboot
Yes spartan, it auto restarted
k, just gotta ask ๐
I guess so haha, I have f7 installed
hmm
Yeah my mobo is a bit old.
how old is the board?
that might be your problem lol
2015
wait, so what am i missing, what's wrong?
M.2 SSD slow
getting 800 read/write
you're not going to get the highest M.2 speeds from a new EVO in an old mobo ๐
bandwith restrictions
^
You might be right ๐คฃ
Kek
it's the motherboard
6-series.
My bios isn't out of date, so I'd assume that it's just from being old.
as if it matters fully.
pretty much jonny
sorry, he did state the model of his mobo msi godlike gaming carbon
i'm surprised that that mb even has m2
Messing with the settings in bios, if you knew how to, could fix it.
Haha I made sure it had m2 before I went and bought it, I was pretty surprised too.
M.2 is as old as 2014 I believe, but not with those speeds haha
Anybody want to recommend a mobo then ๐
It's a selling point of the board, so not suprising in the least.
^
What CPU then?
i7 4790k
msi z270 gaming pro carbon
no judge ๐
oh that's spicy
It still does me great
I can imagine
i7-4790K isn't bad
I had the same CPU. It's great.
Overclocked, its neat
it is
should be just fine
OCing the CPU give yeah
Wooo!
win win
all the heat!
But as said. Should probably be a setting in bios about a setup to fix the speeds.
Well
what mb you got jonny?
If you don't OC the CPU, then some GPUs may not run 100% load kek
So OC is great basically
my gpu rarely runs 100% haha I can barely get it to 97%
kek
Just the most OC you can and you'll be fine off basically
I have my 2700 at 4.0GHz
keep in mind that the m2 is standard nvme
I think I may uprade in a few years to like a 4700x-style thing
because then I'll really not need to worry for 10 years
I'm hoping not ot have to upgrade anything for at least 4-5 years lol I only finished my build in June
^
"M.2 for SSDs drives with up to 10 Gb/s data transfer"
the 2x2 slot just doesn't have the bandwith
Well that makes sense then.

you mean 4?

lel
it's my mb
They recommended it -w-
:p
who recconemded it?
You can get a uhh
me
I'd recommend my board but it's most likely overkill lol
470 if you want kek unless that's AMD?
amd, yes
I got me an X470 Taichi
It's so hard to remember which is for which company -w-
the msi z270 gaming pro crabon has the pci-3 3.0 x4 32 gb/s
looked it up and yes it does ๐
that should work just fine then
ah
well 2x
SLI support
above the slot and under the slot with the M2 sign on it
Hard to remember which is which when they have clear different naming schemes 
really though
I personally got a tomahawk
dyslexia is a bitch
Well thank you very much guys for all the help, I'll definitely get a new mobo soon ๐
aight i gotta go, gotta board a plane
o7
o7
o7
good luck jonny, feel free to ask more
you faye
aww 


Thanks Faye, will do ๐
It's easier to think of the socket rather than Chipset, I guess.
am4 gang
I guess so yeah
good
For Lab's message
but no access to the outside world?
Didn't do shit for me -w-
yeah :p
anyway, little bit off topic, but i still gotta go, talk to someone, cya
cya
The 2011, 2016-3, 1151, 1155, 1556 vs AM4, AM1, FM2
a m 4
What the hell?
kek
Chipset naming has less divisable logic.
Reminds me of the naming scheme of trucks, but that's somewhat easy between brands, albeit often somewhat illogical.
The biggest issue was when they stopped naming then from volume, into arbitrary numbers, and iterations, completely.
Mostly because they don't change the volume that much anymore, but still.
intel's naming scheme is shit
Because they don't use the same socket for every generation?
that, and their new series of mobile stuff sucks ass
What does that have to do with their naming scheme specifically?
Hm
PCIe 2.0 x 2? OW
Isn't that 4x slower than the standard PCIe 3.0 x4 for m.2 NVME SSDs?
can we get an F in the chat for the new windows update?
it really has been fucking people
over
Oof
yes
Doubt your pc would still have it
Yeet
that's the name of the archetecture
Also funny thing
Go for big boi bits
^
I use x86 uwu
bad
uwu
Not sure why that's bad though
I've used x86 all my life lmao
But you can't use the pc's full potential on 32 bit
Oof
Besides not all programs are compatible for 32 bit
why are you downloading it to your c drive
Can't you select which one?
Did you click update windows?
Doesn't let me
in the beginning
Well I picked the download a boot media for USB, blah blah
so what the fuck
Just re-start this and show us the steps
I literally did this yesterday
kek lmao
Don't blame me, it is my first time -w-
also without a mouse
No
create installation media
Create
I know -w-
Good boi/girl
Next step is the previous picture I sent with 64/86 bit options
yeah x64
Select 32bit xd
Yes
Nani
yeah
see, that's what I did yesterday
I clicked on my usb drive
and that was that
Are you using an outdated windows installer or wot
Good point
can you screen share this?
Try it
I just want to like triple check
In DMs? I only know that's how it works
yeah sure
I think there is no screenshare in servers
Oh yeah the new live stream thingy
blame D0cR3d
kek
Always blame d0c
^^^^
Did it work out?
he's deleting things in his C drive
none of the games are in the C drive, so there's not an easy delete that would work
Else just make an ISO file and put it on the usb urself
he couldn't even see that screen
see, the media downloads to your computer, then goes to your usb drive
I did the big dumb
Well
I can get HDD in
I just have this
Unholy cable management to get past
This is how far I can get it to before I run out of length
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
uwu
After pulling it out slot
Then spent shit ton time looking for the other one
brb
Only to get it not showing up
So uhh
At least I got another cable o-o
Should work hopefully
asdf
I'll just do it when I need it lmao
dont forget the sata ๐
don't forget the sata
1080Ti 1400$
2080 super 950$
๐ ๐
Both are pretty much the same card., but super is slightly better with RTX
I mean who in their right mind would buy a new 1080 ti
Iโve found used ones on eBay for closer to $800
I've seen one on sale for 440$
1080 Ti
Wasn't new of course, refurbished
But a great deal nonetheless
Was a zotac, I did give the link to it here lmao
Just get a 2070 super, close enough to the 1080 ti, or for even better value, the RX 5700Xt
That's true
But a 1080 Ti at 440$
Better price for value than a a 2070S or even a 2070
Isn't a 2070 Super equal to the 1080 Ti? - probs will be selling for $550 though haha
Nah 2080 Super is 1080 ti level
Yes
But itโs still a 1080 Ti for 440$
Best deal you could ever get in the 10xx series
I would never take a retail 1080, you never know and 0 guarantee
And agreed on outperforming on future games
retail 1080, meaning 2nd hand?
yay
yay
yay
nay
AHHH SON OF A B####
My SD Card was properly fucked
And it was messing around with my phone!
Corrupted, dead files
Fucking... 8 year old SD card finally gave up
Jesus christ this is a huge relief
It was messing with my phone, I couldn't open anything that used by SD card, now that I realize it
Contact list, messages, galery, FB Messenger, Youtube app, Viber
I was glad that I could actually use my phone for making a call, fucking hell
yay
Guys
Remember how I had a toaster capable of toasting two pieces of bread at the same time?
Well I got an upgrade
It's now a pizza oven capable of ovening two pizzas at the same time
Major upgrade I know
It even runs Simpons: Hit & Run
XD
@hexed horizon iPhone XS Max calls
One of our bg scam websites
If this pc doesnt hold every possible porn i will be really mad xd
I mean, 3000GB is only 3 TB
eh? did I time traveled?
when people don't have enough of 10TB these guys are saying 1TB is way too much, wtf
1TB isnโt enough for my Minecraft mods
I donโt ever use more than 1 TB
I have over 4 TB in my current pvc
pc*
I use over 1TB just for games, another TB for music, movies, programs
Are 2 TB drives really reduced to 1.81 TB in Windows? Thatโs lame
Mhmm.
too specific
yeah my 3TB drive shows as 2.72TB
Odds are if I used all of 1 TB of space thereโs several games on there I donโt play anymore
Same here
depending on how many new games you have, for sure
get uplay+ for a free month, and get loads of games
with the high res texture pack yeah
it adds on another like 25gb
hence why its optional
I know
But the game is already 100 GB
So itโs not really gonna matter much lmao

1TB is equal to 931.32GiB, but that's still 1000GB
1TB = 1024 GB
no
Yes
no
Yes
also you do not have 8GB of ram, you have 8GiB
Dude
man just go to school
kilo = 1000 in every single case on earth except dumb people doing garbage advertising and OS
same for mega = 10^6, giga 10^9 etc
for big power of 2 you use binary prefixes
binary prefixes are the same but uses a base of 2^10 (1024)
they end with a lowercase i
also their name is made with the 2 first letters of the decimal prefixes + "bi"
hence kibi mebi gibi tebi exbi
enough proof for you?
what's your binary pseudo? (take the first 2 letters of your pseudo and add "bi")
hi I'm xabi
and you're bibi
And you know makes "bibi" noise
For computers, Kilo / Mega / Giga- WAS NOT THE SAME as System Internationale prefix Kilo / Mega / Giga-
Hence why they introduced the prefix kibi, mebi, gibi, etc
There is not much in the way of reduction, it's just the storage manufacturers advertise in S.I. prefixes and OS (e.g. Windows) see it in terms of the binary prefix
Mebi ๐
1 Byte = 8 x Bits (usually)
1 KB = 1024 x Bytes
1 MB = 1024 x KB = 1,048,576
1 GB = 1024 x MB = 1,073,741,824
not usually, actually x3
Actually 8
yis
Hence "8 bit"
depends on the number of bits per byte
For storage purposes, yeah actually 8 bits I suppose?
and people call me a nerd ^~^
ISO/IEC has standardized it to 8 bits
No date yet! ๐
Okay i think this problem is supposed to be under here.
Sooo... Lately i've been having problem with my volume.. I encountered this problem while i was playing games and listening to music. Something on my pc decreases my volume a bit even though my volume stays at 100%. I've have removed the permission for other apps to control my volume but it still happends.. Tell me if anyone knows the reason..
anyone hyped for the 5700xt thicc boi
Pretty much every aftermarket 5700xt had been great (excluding msi)
Iโm interested in seeing how the TUF card performs, Iโve always been a fan of TUF motherboards.
Haven't heard about the TUF card yet
considering I'm the same except with asrock ( asrock makes great mobos ) . I'm super excited for their version of the card
looks really good though
B I G B O I
I can't wait till I'm not broke anymore and I can build a big b o i computer
I'm waiting for CP2077 to upgrade.
I don't feed the need rn has there no game coming out that my 980Ti can't handle
I'm building my computer for cyberpunk
It looks so amazing, haven't been this hyped in forever
good night)
pssh you wonโt need a 2080Ti for that
cries in 1050*
Cries in 1060 3GB
the pain
Cries in RTX 2080 Ti
Better than integreted intel GPU
atleast I'm not cursed with that
Used to be cursed with it for too long
same, and my computer would get so hot that it felt like the heat radiating off a frying pan
Kek
shudder
good for winter. I use my computer to heat my room
how to raise the global temp 10 degrees
prolly gonna add 2 more 2x8 ram stick for 32gig ram
3950x
But you need that 100% CPU gaming perf
And a M.2 SSD
Nice
get x570 then
At least I don't think anything else has over 100% in gaming yet kek
ima say it now, dont upgrade to full, wait for stadia.
wut
yeah no
no
:p
I like not being kicked off of my games
No, Stadia can remove games whenever they want
Hmm
Did anyone here use on-live when it was a thing? You could stream games online using internet connection
about the games
yeah @abstract kite
Apparently 9900KF is better kek
it is newer, yeah
really?
Yeah lol
You canโt own the games
9900K 480$
how much is the 3900x?
you do own them, just not download them
x1.3 for Canadian, ๐ฆ
Nope
582$
Yep!
hmmmmmmm
You pay for the games, it's not netflix for games
3900X is only for workstation best though
you keep it
If google stadia shut down, you lose everything.
95% gaming, 95% desktop, 117% workstation
I'll have to look into that sweet 9900KF
yeah well TooBad, itโs the same with steam
But steam you install the game, Stadia is pure streaming
a simple google is the trick ๐
"Best answer: According to Google Stadia boss Phil Harrison, you will be able to keep your purchased games in your Stadia library even after they've been removed from sale."
Nice
Isn't that the same thing with Steam?
Removing them from your library is not legal, especially not in the EU.
It's the same yeah.
anything on gog galaxy yet
Removing a product of which you legally paid for, would need a VERY good argument, if not you are allowed to sue them (or they have to refund)
gog is slow :p
GOG ew
sigh ok
Last I've used it, shit
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-9900K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-3900X/4028vs4044 also performance with 9900K and 9900KF
Actually no wait wtf
End me
well I use more than one core
1%
1%
Hm
so Iโll be fine as long as the 3950x is 3% faster single core than the 9900k
Seems like it isn't for gaming though
well, it is more focused on streaming and multitasking
I mean people use server grade cpus to game, not the first time
True I guess
64 core speed is much better on 3900X, rest below is worse than intel's
kek
a majority of the aftermarket 5700xt cards look great
@bronze cloak this card looks great
guys,
whatever rx 5700xt card you wish to buy, do check the reviews and teardown
avoid poor designs like the msi rx 5700 xt evoke for example
(insufficient / inadequate thermal pads cause GDDR6 and VRM temp to hit way over 90 degrees C)
soo the 5700xt is basically a in-between 2060s and 2070s, but 100$ less than 2070s.
It's about equal to the 2070S
Not sure whether to get the thicc, tuf, red devil, or sapphire
Nvidia win a few frames, but it's pretty much the same
From what I've read, 5700xt focus on 1440p. 2070s can get you 4k 60fps. and got RTX support.
with some side stuff like less power consumption/heat/noise.
Not bad
There are a few games where Nvidia does win out though, especially DLSS enabled ones, you get a ton more frames with that enabled.
Like D2 for example, where Nvidia get 10 more fps:
It's generally the same though if we talk non-DLSS games.
If you would be playing games on Nvidia's DLSS list, then you really want the 2070S then
Wow DLSS even make the 2060s equal
Yeah, it's really good.
This has all DLSS games so far
Should, at least, I've used it before.
Minecraft RTX .. But I admin it does look good. but I guess it's also a big graphic overhaul coming with that patch
Cyberpunk doesn't have dlss, but RTX
If you want it, Nvidia has it.
AMD does have something in the works for RTX though, so who knows.
Until technology advances to where enabling it doesnโt tank performance, I really donโt care. Itโs a neat feature, but not nearly a deciding point in my book.
DLSS though
Gross
wrong
Double
Lemon
Squeeze
Sauce
Radeon Image Sharpening > DLSS
Do they have a side by side video comparison of the two?
not sure but I can tell you that they squeeze out like 20 extra frames
Isn't DLSS dead already?
can we get an
in the chat for DLSS?
yeah well now itโs more dead than the Radeon VII
well it did upscale textures, just not very well
Not many games supported it unfortunately
well, at least GPU manufacturers are looking at simpler scalers now
easier to implement and wider compatibility
DLSS was a selling point though...
but it Doesn't Look So Sharp - ah ha ha
Goodbye old pc
Send it to me
@steady summit new PC specs?
Nice
So should run every game smooth tho
noooooo
not 5700XT, how could you Matze
seriously though, you got some m.2โs?
thatโs going to be very spicy with your x570
Yea
@late sorrel 5700 xt? I am slighty confused
Well if i went for the same price category, intel has less capabitlity and functionality then amd @urban gulch
yes and no, amd is less priced, but it has the consequences for it
i gotta go, shopping for cookies
Gimme cookies 
Well actually no, i had a budget and i tried not to care about the price of the processor but in that case it was the beteer choice than intel
Itโs a AMD graphics card
itโs got similar perf to the 2070S
Msi geforce 2070 rtx
no worries, next year he'll get Big Navi II RX 6800XT with AMD Hybrid Ray Tracing implementation
YEAH
mm amd
Puppy FayeVRToday at 5:17 PM
yes and no, amd is less priced, but it has the consequences for it
You live in the past ? ๐
No RTX, DLSS, Image sharpening thatโs about the same to Radeonโs.
oh my 3000 dollar computer is 2.9% faster than your also 3000 dollar computer, BUT BECAUSE OF THE BRAND
no
Except Maybe a PS3 for Skate 2/3
NVIDIA is technically faster
yep
Iโm kind of an AMD fanboy since Iโve seen them as a bit of an underdog for a while
The wolf only squeaks and squirms for he wants closer to the throat.
i used to watch a lot of videos before I got my computer
but now I don't really give a shit about performance either
I donโt fanboy on any as I only look for performance while maintaining a good price
๐
Ecks dee
3 extra fps master race
silence, overpriced
haha you misunderstand, I am a 3900x boy
Haha what
3900X? More expensive than 9900K
The sad thing is idk if I even should go for a 5700 XT or 2070 Super
Or a new mobo plus 3600 or a 8700K for same price
:)
The RAM is def gonna need an upgrade though
Ill be interested to see how the 3950 really performs when released..
Even though not worth the price etc
Just fun to see them trying to push the limits a bit
^ yep
@urban gulch is correct; you live with the consequences of selecting AMD
chicks dig Intel
HA
Ew intel
shintel
intel been lacking and it shows
I mean
Yeah I guess?
The funny thing is I've not heard anything new from intel
Maybe they got something special on them rn
The thing for me is that the ryzen 3000 series is very new and already challenges the top of the line while being affordable. I imagine that the next upgrade ( 7nm+ ) or a refresh or whatever will absolutely smack.
Yes
A laptop
Now that may suck
But it's the first 300Hz display
Or so I've heard
interesting but I can really only see it being useful to competitive gaming
we can't even make super good use of 240hz yet
kek
tech bruh moment
lol med is no fun tho
CSGO can run it very well
yeah that's why competitive games can do high hz
I've heard there is gonna be a new generation of high hz monitors that runs with lower ms timing
welp they tryna be cray
I mean
It's not so bad for comp
But like
What's the point in even making higher refresh rates
Oh damn
2080 Ti at 720$
r e a l s h i t?
I literally learned all about computers and parts in a week
really not shabby at all
B r u h
what're the reviews like?
I've rarely seen a 2080 Ti go any lower 1000$
that is magic... but why so cheap?
Okay it's really stronk from what I saw
only thing is it's ugly as hell and it needs to be water cooled
Yes
but seriously not bad at all, good find
I guess so
Ohlook
Another 2080 Ti
CDW again
Fan
MSI
Are all their 2080 Ti cards lowered in price?
arent they releasing a 2080ti super ?
Nah
Not in a while
NoVideo said they wouldn't
But it's a possibility to see one I guess
Well
Not a single listing is marked any lower than 1000$
kek
or crazy ass workstation stuff ig
But with a lower price, the price to perf is unbelievable
True, I said what I said but I deadass know I would buy a 2080ti price dropped on the spot
Drops 100$
Drops 900$
