Basically

late sorrel
#

yeah

#

literally they both get clapped af

fleet canopy
#

I didn’t want to go for raytracing because I didn’t see the point in paying a stupid price, and I don’t want to pay too much for my next build

pallid cedar
#

all I can chime in on is I have an ASUS ROG STRIX OC RTX 2060 and it handles things amazingly.
Mine runs, according to userbenchmark, as well as a 1080 8GB.

#

mind you, I'm running a 1080p 144Hz monitor, no 1440p or 4k

#

I don’t like userbenchmark, I much prefer real benchmarks like firestrike or unigine superposition

Some help for generic frustrating intermittent GPU issues:

  1. Switching from Nvidia to AMD card or vice versa? Use Display Driver Uninstaller
  2. Install latest display driver from AMD / Nvidia
  3. Windows 10 installation too old? fresh format and install (last resort)
  4. Always use BOTH PCI-e power cables from PSU to your GPU (if it requires two), not a single cable branched to two connectors
  5. Using an X570 motherboard? Try setting it to PCI-e 3.0
  6. Switch off / disable Enhanced Sync in Radeon Settings
  7. Don't use Afterburner or Trixx
  8. Don't even enable Wattman
  9. Run CPU on stock and RAM on XMP only
pallid cedar
#

I use 3DMark for most benchmarking, but Userbenchmark compares how your system runs directly against other systems per component, 3DMark and Firestrike etc only give you an arbitrary number that can mean anything because it's for the system overall, and not per component

#

my system gets 8560 in 3DMark, how does that tell me how good my GPU is?

fiery nacelle
#

there's the CPU score and graphics score in the details too

#

or could take the physics score also for CPU

pallid cedar
#

yes, but again they don't really compare how much better my gpu or cpu is doing

#

userbenchmark tells me my cpu runs better than 71% of all cpus of my model

fiery nacelle
#

oh for cpus within the same model, yes userbenchmark is useful

#

between say gpus of different architecture - much less so

pallid cedar
#

even comparing alternate options, like my rtx 2060 runs as well as a gtx 1080 8GB

#

within 2% difference

fiery nacelle
#

gives a rough range, hard to say when compared to game benchmarks

#

useful as an indication yes

pallid cedar
#

not a rough range though, it is based directly off of other userbenchmark tests on other systems

fiery nacelle
#

these are all synthetics

pallid cedar
#

synthetics? You mean software that gauges how a component is doing?

#

basically ALL testing is synthetics then

fiery nacelle
#

they stress test a very specific function of the hardware and summarize a one number fits all size based on some kind of agglomeration function

#

why not just test the application directly?

#

blender

#

actual games

#

the sort

pallid cedar
#

no different than benchmarks

#

userbench vs 3dmark

fiery nacelle
#

even 3dmark is a synthetic benchmark

pallid cedar
#

I know, that's my point

#

all testing it synthetic

#

even the fps counter during your gameplay is synthetic

#

zero pc testing is analog that I am aware of other than power draw maybe

fiery nacelle
#

fps counter during gameplay is synthetic?

#

yeah

pallid cedar
#

it isn't physical

#

a software is reading the frames

#

and then telling you

#

it's all digital

#

I'm not sure what you mean

fiery nacelle
#

oh we meant "synthetic" as in... not virtual vs physical

#

synthetic as in it's not the actual application itself

#

for fps counter - probably a frametime analysis will be better

pallid cedar
#

yes but, if I get, say 9000 score on The Divison 2 in-game benchmark, how does that tell me how comparable my components are to another entirely different system that got roughly the same score overall?

fiery nacelle
#

it will perform comparably in Division 2?

pallid cedar
#

I'm specifically referencing userbenchmark to compare singular components directly to other components that other users have tested

#

I can see someone's score of 9000, but not their components or overclocks etc

fiery nacelle
#

that's why established reviewers use a spectrum of real world workload

pallid cedar
#

which is what userbenchmark does

fiery nacelle
#

poorly

#

hahaha

pallid cedar
#

I'm really not understanding the issue there

#

they test the physical systems of whoever uses the benchmark, then saves that data to their servers to compare new tests against

fiery nacelle
#

didn't you hear about that fiasco of them playing around with their single core vs multi core scoring?

#

it's arbitrary

pallid cedar
#

no, what do you mean?

fiery nacelle
#

ooooh that issue

#

hot one man

#

some suspect it's them shilling for Intel

pallid cedar
#

are you referring to the change in scaling for the new Ryzen 3000 series?

fiery nacelle
#

by userbenchmark right?

#

drew quite a lot of criticisms from tech youtubers, tech channels

#

ouchie

pallid cedar
#

but that's not relevant to what I am talking about

#

I am not talking about their arbitrary number score

fiery nacelle
#

it's the detailed bench scores you're referring to right?

#

yeah that is somewhat useful

#

for cpus

pallid cedar
#

I'm talking about how your singular gpu (or other component) works compared to the same gpu that other folks have tested on the same system, and gives you a gauge of how similarly your components match up to other ones

#

for any conmponent

#

storage, ram, cpu, gpu

fiery nacelle
#

oh if it's comparing the same components, yes

#

between different architectures, less so

pallid cedar
#

it tells me my ASUS ROG STRIX OC RTX 2060 performs as well as a GTX 1080 8GB

fiery nacelle
#

they are quite similar so yeah

pallid cedar
#

literally the original comment I made, for context

fiery nacelle
#

Userbenchmark also claims the RX 5700XT is 1% better than the 2070 Super

pallid cedar
#

as per USER scores

#

sillicon lottery

fiery nacelle
#

based on THEIR algorithm, not real games

pallid cedar
#

no cards are identical in performance

#

not THEIR algorithm

#

their USERS physical capabilities being recorded

#

and compared

fiery nacelle
#

Techspot to Powerup indicates the RX 5700XT to be behind anywhere from 4% to 10% versus the 2070 Super

pallid cedar
#

on their particular tested card, sure.

fiery nacelle
#

multiple professional reviewers?

#

hmmmm

pallid cedar
#

but the same test is used for both cards

#

are you implying their test favors certain cards?

fiery nacelle
#

are we sure 90% of games utilize these tests in the exact proportions or techniques?

pallid cedar
#

because that sounds like card design differences vs software differences

fiery nacelle
#

in real life rendering

pallid cedar
#

like turing vspascal

fiery nacelle
#

Techspot tests against a basket of 41 games, Techpowerup up to 21

pallid cedar
#

are we sure 90% of games use the same system as Blender?

fiery nacelle
#

real games

pallid cedar
#

or 3DMark?

#

or Firestrike?

fiery nacelle
#

3dmark is synthetic

pallid cedar
#

or ANY other benchmarking tool?

#

they're all synthetic

fiery nacelle
#

do you even know what Blender is?

pallid cedar
#

a video rendering program

fiery nacelle
#

not a game

#

uses your CPU

pallid cedar
#

well aware, but it is still made up of software

#

still 1's and zeroes

fiery nacelle
#

which you use to WORK

#

not to TEST

pallid cedar
#

so does the benchmarks

#

they use their system, to work

#

their work being different

fiery nacelle
#

which userbenchmark game has been published and sold so far?

pallid cedar
#

you seem to make the mistake of assuming a benchmark isn't applying a real workload to the components.

#

why?

fiery nacelle
#

or what userbenchmark program has been used to compile anything so far

#

these synthetics do not accurately reflect real world workloads

#

they have become better over the years yes

#

but still

pallid cedar
#

what is a "real world workload"? they are all digital workloads applied to the components

#

elaborate

fiery nacelle
#

Real games

#

Compilers

#

Adobe creative suite

#

actual programs used to work

pallid cedar
#

but why do you assume a game uses "real" workload vs a "not real" workload of a benchmark or stress test?

fiery nacelle
#

not to spit out a test number

#

have you ever played a 3dmark game before?

pallid cedar
#

but the test number is just a score relating how the components handled the workload applied to it...

fiery nacelle
#

or bought one?

pallid cedar
#

they don't make games

fiery nacelle
#

exactly

#

they are not games

#

they are synthetic loads

pallid cedar
#

they still apply a digital workload to the components the same way a game will

#

what are you on about exactly?

#

a game is ones and zeroes

#

a benchmark is ones and zeroes

fiery nacelle
#

that same "digital workload" is not the same "workload" and not exactly representative of how a real game will perform

pallid cedar
#

they are BOTH digital software applying a workload

#

you seem to make a difference between those workloads for some reason

#

but if you use the same workload for all testing

#

it shjould match

#

the. point

#

so an AIDA64 stress test isn't a "real workload" compared to a game being rendered?

#

wut?

#

let's go over this

fiery nacelle
#

it is not the same workload - I can create a benchmark that heavily favours texturing for example, loading up to 8GB textures, causing massive advantage to RX 580 8GB versus the GTX 1060 6GB, even though in most games, at 1440p, the VRAM hardly gets loaded past 5GB anyway

pallid cedar
#

how does a game apply a workload?

fiery nacelle
#

or the fact that graphics rendering is NOT ALL ABOUT TEXTURES

pallid cedar
#

and not all games utilize the same workloads

#

so, again, why do you differentiate?

#

some games favor intel chips

fiery nacelle
#

yes and some AMD

pallid cedar
#

so how is that any more accurate?

fiery nacelle
#

but testing a spectrum will give you the full picture

#

rather than relying on ONE SYNTHETIC BENCHMARK

pallid cedar
#

a benchmark IS a spectrum

#

jfc

#

I'm gonna walk away

fiery nacelle
#

for all we know is favouring one vendor over the other

pallid cedar
#

exactly the same as some games do

#

so your point is irrelevant

#

lol okay

fiery nacelle
#

why do you think AMD and co quit BAPCO so long ago

marsh mesa
#

Please remember keep it calm and without arguments.

pallid cedar
#

good luck not having arguments in a pc help section

#

oof

marsh mesa
#

I'm just saying there can be a discussion without invalidating anyone and keeping it calm 🙂

pallid cedar
#

also never heard of BAPco

#

the benchmarks I have stated are far more known and trusted

fiery nacelle
#

I've been around reading computer reviews since the 1990s

pallid cedar
#

that's nice

fiery nacelle
#

we've been through that period

#

where over reliance on a single benchmark vendor

#

can be dangerous

#

the fiascos

#

arguments

pallid cedar
#

not relying on any single benchmarker

fiery nacelle
#

exactly

#

if you must rely on synthetics

#

pick several

pallid cedar
#

my literal point of using userbenchmark was to gauge how close singular system components compared to each other

#

hence me directly stating about my RTX 2060 vs the GTX 1080

#

context

fiery nacelle
#

you never know who you can trust - or which synthetic benchmark more closely resembles your case scenarios

pallid cedar
#

you seem to be applying some other shit to my sytatement

fiery nacelle
#

I did say versus comparable architectures, it is useful

#

but compare your RTX 2060 versus and RX 5700

pallid cedar
#

might as well not trust anything, even the games since the games can favor certain chips, the same as you are complaining about benchmarkers favoring certain companies

#

do you see my point?

fiery nacelle
#

I'd think the RTX 2060 would do better versus the RX 5700 than what userbenchmark will tell you

#

At least games are what you'd actually play right?

pallid cedar
#

how does that make a difference?

fiery nacelle
#

and they come from multiple vendors, multiple developers

#

well unless all of them are siding with say AMD or Nvidia - oops

pallid cedar
#

you saying gpus don't come from multiple vendors?

fiery nacelle
#

oh I meant the games come from multiple vendors / developers

pallid cedar
#

or psus? or storage?

#

or ram?

#

I know, but that implies the components don't

fiery nacelle
#

I never implied that

pallid cedar
#

so why mention it?

fiery nacelle
#

just don't be over reliant on synthetics

pallid cedar
#

the game is a synthetic

#

again, it applies a digital workload to the components, the same as a benchmark does

fiery nacelle
#

an NVME SSD will be advertised with a synthetic read speed that can be 4x higher than a SATA SSD

#

in real life?

pallid cedar
#

you seem to assume they are not both based on digital code

fiery nacelle
#

windows doesn't load 4x faster on an NVME

#

I never denied synthetic or real life aren't digital

#

they are all digital

#

that's not the definition of synthetic benchmarks

pallid cedar
#

but you keep trying to im-ply that a benchmark is less valid as a workload than a game

fiery nacelle
#

yes

#

bingo

pallid cedar
#

whern typically benchmarks have a higher component utilization than a game

fiery nacelle
#

less valid doesn't mean not valid

pallid cedar
#

and I am trying to get you to prove your statement

fiery nacelle
#

true, synthetic benchmarks can invoke a higher component utilization

pallid cedar
#

how can you tell me the digital workload of a game is not as valid as the digital workload of a benchmark?

fiery nacelle
#

if it is only one game

#

here have a read on the debate

pallid cedar
#

so only one game has a valid workload?

#

doesn't matter how many games vs how many benchmarks

#

the question is the validity of the workload applied by both

pallid cedar
#

you say a game is more valid

#

why?

fiery nacelle
#

like the example I've given on the RTX 2070 Super vs the RX 5700 XT

#

on a spectrum of games tested - the RTX 2070 Super will consistently beat the RX 5700 XT on an aggregate basis

pallid cedar
#

you gave an example of a SINGLE card being tested on multiple games

#

I'm saying Userbenchmark has a database of a ton of gpus to compare against

#

sillicon lottery in physical form

fiery nacelle
#

on a single algorithm

pallid cedar
#

tells you how shitty of a component you got.

fiery nacelle
#

silicon lottery or not - the numbers will average out

#

just as reviewer samples are many and will average out

#

even AMD marketing slides dare not claim that

#

they can beat the 2070 super

pallid cedar
#

revier samples are FAR less than that of the community

#

maybe, at most, 1200 review cards to major reviewers in North America

#

vs the thousands of consumers testing the same item

fiery nacelle
#

and communities benchmarking on userbenchmark are only testing that algorithm - flawed or not? who is to arbitrate?

pallid cedar
#

I'm not saying rely on Userbenchmark

fiery nacelle
#

me too

pallid cedar
#

don't put words in my mouth

#

I am saying it is a nice tool to use to compare singular compnents to see how they fare against each other

fiery nacelle
#

oh no I never implied that, I'd agree with you

#

in a rough range yes

pallid cedar
#

never once said they were exact

fiery nacelle
#

just when people over rely on it, sometimes they can get disappointed

pallid cedar
#

literally the same test being applied to all componernts

fiery nacelle
#

unfortunately most new PC users do that

pallid cedar
#

giving you a readout of how all components work under that same test

#

same as testing a single game, i.e. the same workload

fiery nacelle
#

our query is that whether the same test is the... well... representative of the real experience the user will get

#

from a game

#

or work

pallid cedar
#

and the game can be just as different and favor certain brands as much as the benchmarks is what I am saying

#

so neither is that accurate on it's own

#

never tried to imply doing one over the other

#

do ALL the tests

fiery nacelle
#

which is why most will test on as many games as they can - and the selection of games CAN bias the result to one vendor or the other

pallid cedar
#

and it's why they also use multiple benchmarks

#

but that doesn't invalidate the info given from one of the benchmarks

fiery nacelle
#

best to compare userbenchmark, passmark, AIDA64, CPU-Z and Prime 95

pallid cedar
#

or make the workload on a benchmark less than the workload on a game

fiery nacelle
#

similar to say SSD

#

Userbenchmark results should be compared against the Crystaldiskmark scores

pallid cedar
#

so then compare them yourself

#

nothing stopping you

fiery nacelle
#

yes, and that should not stop us offering this lovely debate and advice to all our friends on this channel too

pallid cedar
#

of course

fiery nacelle
#

well, having said that I'm not enthusiastic about the obsolete hardware I have

#

just wondering when to upgrade

pallid cedar
#

having obsolete stuff isn't fun

fiery nacelle
#

SO TRUE

pallid cedar
#

I bought my HTC Vive only 5 months ago and it's already obsolete

#

no longer in production since the Cosmos released

fiery nacelle
#

that's an expensive piece of hardware here

#

but a nice one

marsh mesa
#

The Cosmos already released?

fiery nacelle
#

real nice one

pallid cedar
#

cost me $800 canadian rubles

fiery nacelle
#

hey it's not even for sale here

pallid cedar
#

I think so, moonlight

fiery nacelle
#

so rare

#

Isn't 800 CAD already much reduced versus it's introductory price?

marsh mesa
#

Also Spartan did you buy your HTC Vive from another seller or HTC?

pallid cedar
#

yeah Moonlight

#

I got it from Newegg

#

only Best Buy online and Amazon had it other than them

#

but Newegg had a sale, $659 instead of $699

fiery nacelle
#

CAD?

pallid cedar
#

yeah

marsh mesa
#

mine was for around the same price, a bit less but mainly because of VAT

pallid cedar
#

it's the original Vive, not the $1600 pro

marsh mesa
#

If not it would've been 100 less

pallid cedar
#

I just wish I had read more about HTC before buying form them

#

worst customer service I ever experienced

fiery nacelle
#

what about Valve Index?

#

Is that good

pallid cedar
#

I know very little about it, other than a bunch of folks like it haha

fiery nacelle
#

why did Valve split from HTC?

marsh mesa
#

The controllers seem imo like the only thing that stands out

fiery nacelle
#

I thought they were partners

marsh mesa
#

They still are I think

#

Their products work together at least

#

you can have Valve Index controllers and buy for example the HTC Vive pro headset

fiery nacelle
#

ah I see

pallid cedar
#

they split because HTC wanted independance

#

and to make Viveport and not have to use Steam

fiery nacelle
#

hopefully more VR hardware manufacturers

#

and Microsoft can adopt say Valve's VR system as an industry standard perhaps?

pallid cedar
#

yeah the Vive was designed to handle SteamVR at least

fiery nacelle
#

SteamVR that's right

pallid cedar
#

Microsoft has been suuuper quiet about it's AR system

#

no talks of VR

fiery nacelle
#

might as well joint venture with Valve

marsh mesa
#

I wish Oculus aswell tbh, they seem to have good products and for a better price than HTC

pallid cedar
#

honestly, oculus seems to be doing much better than they used to

#

the competition from HTC made them step up their game

fiery nacelle
#

can't all these people just get together and create a COMMON PLATFORM?

pallid cedar
#

hahaha

fiery nacelle
#

like USB-C

pallid cedar
#

that's like asking Sony and MS to work together

fiery nacelle
#

oh yeah

#

true

marsh mesa
#

I think at this point it wouldn't work that well

fiery nacelle
#

though they actually might have to to fight Google Stadia

#

LOL

pallid cedar
#

I'm actually really upset about VR exclusivity

marsh mesa
#

people feel more comfortable with x thing

fiery nacelle
#

even the epic games exclusivity is upsetting

pallid cedar
#

like, there already aren't that many other players in VR, why divide the player base even more? #sadface

marsh mesa
#

It's honestly depressing to see Oculus barely getting games aswell on Steam at least

#

Or compatibility later than HTC

fiery nacelle
#

They should just work together and agree to a common protocol

pallid cedar
#

they have their own library, it's fairly big still

fiery nacelle
#

win-win

pallid cedar
#

a ton of major developers have signed with Oculus

fiery nacelle
#

mandatory post

marsh mesa
#

Spartan they do have great headsets tbh and a very, VERY affordable price

#

at least here in Spain

pallid cedar
#

I only use epic store for the free games lol

fiery nacelle
#

hey you have to pay man

marsh mesa
#

for the price I get a PSVR I get a way better Oculus headset

pallid cedar
#

for sure Moonlight, the new Rift S is only $559 here

fiery nacelle
#

they'll just extract your personal data via their spyware as payment

fleet canopy
#

Hah

pallid cedar
#

sounds legit

marsh mesa
#

Idk there where you live Spartan, sadly, I can only talk from what I've seen here so far

pallid cedar
#

I'm in Canada

fiery nacelle
#

lucky

marsh mesa
#

but then again Spain is fucking biased with PS so it doesn't matter what's the price we seem to buy it anyway

fiery nacelle
#

low ambient temps

#

PS?

pallid cedar
#

we typically have a higher price than U.S. for tech, but spain can be a bit crazy with some companies

marsh mesa
#

Playstation

pallid cedar
#

they don't like Microsoft do they?

fiery nacelle
#

Europe has high VAT

marsh mesa
#

since Xbox one came out, Ps just got a lot of sales here

pallid cedar
#

isn't the xbox insanely expensive there?

marsh mesa
#

I've seen it cheaper than the PS4

pallid cedar
#

oh really?

fiery nacelle
#

ironically both hardware are made by AMD

marsh mesa
#

yeah here what's super expensive is the PS4 and still sells great

pallid cedar
#

now they are, yeah haha

fiery nacelle
#

so MS and Sony can probably share the same platform

pallid cedar
#

I think the OG Xbox was Intel

#

I could be mistaken though

fiery nacelle
#

they probably have to in order to combat Google

#

next consoles with raytracing and 4k 60

marsh mesa
#

Am I the only person who thinks Google Stadia is a good idea but at the same time badly executed

fiery nacelle
#

I just wonder how bad the lag will be

pallid cedar
#

I don't even remember what Stadia is lol

fiery nacelle
#

or the bandwidth

pallid cedar
#

that the streaming gaming thing>

fiery nacelle
#

yes

#

seems big

marsh mesa
#

me neither until I saw it on twitter recently

fiery nacelle
#

and ironically...

pallid cedar
#

could be okay, but not with modern games

marsh mesa
#

something about RDR2 coming out for it aswell

fiery nacelle
#

also powered by AMD LOL

pallid cedar
#

eesh

marsh mesa
#

and i was like "ah yes that thing!"

pallid cedar
#

can't see that going well

#

RDR2 would have like a 6Gb/s speed requirement

marsh mesa
#

It will be like playing with my remote play on my PS4 but worse

fiery nacelle
#

imagine streaming 1080p 60 fps video

pallid cedar
#

so many hd textures to stream in o.0

#

OOF

marsh mesa
#

I can't wait to experience the laggy future

pallid cedar
#

lol

fiery nacelle
#

if their hardware node is nearby maybe it wouldn't be so bad?

#

like if it's within the same country

#

it's just the amount of bandwidth problem

pallid cedar
#

the ISPs in U.S. can't do it lol

fiery nacelle
#

if a whole lot of people take up Stadia - wouldn't that affect ISP performance?

pallid cedar
#

comcast will implode with bandwith issues

marsh mesa
#

I think Stadia can be the future, but the future ain't now

pallid cedar
#

really though

#

the future is in the future Kappa

fiery nacelle
#

Google seems serious about it

marsh mesa
#

Like if you have a shitty computer like I do and don't have the money to upgrade, good shit

#

But what if you also have a shitty internet

fiery nacelle
#

would make a great advertising and data collection platform though

pallid cedar
#

google likes to do shit that doesn't really work though haha

fiery nacelle
#

really great one

pallid cedar
#

I mean, YouTube hasn't made them a profit for years, they keep going with it.
It actually costs tme money to run it

fiery nacelle
#

ouch

#

why I wonder

pallid cedar
#

server costs

marsh mesa
#

yeah they lost a shit ton of money lmao

pallid cedar
#

the sheer amount of video data being stored every day is insane

#

every tom dick and harry recording their dog farting

#

lol

marsh mesa
#

It's not even just that but they'd get enough money if they didn't fuck over the people who give them money

#

but instead they benefit the companies which give almost nothing

pallid cedar
#

it's why they are constantly trying to recover the advertising money

fiery nacelle
#

demonitising videos over the most political / social of reasons LOL

#

a whole lot of gun channels got demonitised

marsh mesa
#

crazy idea but what if they let creators have advertisements they'd recover

pallid cedar
#

^ they used to do this

#

you were asked which types of ads would be best suited to your channel

fiery nacelle
#

a whole lot of military channels got demonitised

pallid cedar
#

like a more adult gamer on YT would be asked if they would like alcohol ads played etc

#

but it stopped quickly, not sure why

fiery nacelle
#

for justice man

#

social justice

marsh mesa
#

they made bad decisions

fiery nacelle
#

ha ha

pallid cedar
#

probably

marsh mesa
#

just like they are doing rn

#

just a chain of horrible decisions

pallid cedar
#

a mom saw a beer ad on Pewds channel and freaked out most likely lol

fiery nacelle
#

too sensitive

#

everyone complains these days

pallid cedar
#

everyone always complained

#

we just see it more on social medias

marsh mesa
#

speaking of complaining imagine having a computer that lags even watching youtube videos but costed you around 1000 Euros at the time

pallid cedar
#

shhh

#

my pc fried 5 years ago, it was a $600 pre-built Acer with no gpu

marsh mesa
#

let me complain about my shitty laptop

fiery nacelle
#

cannot be as bad as mine

#

haha

#

oh well maybe it is

marsh mesa
#

I think this computer has around not even 3 years?

pallid cedar
#

an AMD A3820 apu

fiery nacelle
#

ok that is

pallid cedar
#

oh it DIED

#

but now I have a BEAST

#

that cost me $3300

#

oof

fiery nacelle
#

CAD?

pallid cedar
#

yup

fiery nacelle
#

only for the core components?

pallid cedar
#

no, the entire workstation

fiery nacelle
#

plus peripherals?

marsh mesa
#

I hope it isn't MSI

pallid cedar
#

case, cpu, gpu, ram, psu, 2 ssd, 1 hdd, headphones, podcast/boom mic, 1080p 144hz monitor and a 4k tv to split into 4 1080p screens for streaming/multi-window operations

fiery nacelle
#

3300 CAD / 2500 USD is pretty good deal for that

fiery nacelle
#

I know a streamer here whom someone blew like 5K CAD to gift her a new gaming PC

pallid cedar
#

crazy

#

mine would have been that much if I changed my RTX 2060 for the 2080ti lol

marsh mesa
#

oof that's the case I wanted for the computer I was gonna get for my office

pallid cedar
#

I LOVE this case

#

it's massive though

fiery nacelle
#

its a GIFT from her FAN mind you

#

not a family member

pallid cedar
#

I wish I had fans like that lol

fiery nacelle
#

not a close friend

pallid cedar
#

I just need a new gpu hahaha

fiery nacelle
#

she isn't even that famous

marsh mesa
#

Where can I get those fans

pallid cedar
#

lel

marsh mesa
#

do you find them somewhere

pallid cedar
#

Dubai twitch

marsh mesa
#

do they give them out on the street

pallid cedar
#

Kappa

fiery nacelle
#

oh the supreme power of pretty girls streaming on facebook

#

let me get her pic

marsh mesa
#

oh wow time to stream some ASMR I guess

pallid cedar
#

yeah, thirsty bois will do quite a bit for validation from pretty girls online

marsh mesa
#

get that sweet money

pallid cedar
#

just refer to all donators as your "internet boyfriends" and e-z money

marsh mesa
#

"e-boyfriends"

pallid cedar
#

^

marsh mesa
#

don't forget the whiteboard with the top donator

pallid cedar
#

don't even have to be pretty, or even a girl lol, just good with makeup

north bronze
#

such pc building talk, very nice :^)

pallid cedar
#

I was a mod for a partnered streamer on twitch and the amount of sexist garbage that came through that chat on the regular was insane

#

whoops

north bronze
#

hehehehe

fiery nacelle
north bronze
#

no worries

marsh mesa
#

we are talking about how I'm gonna build my PC building career

north bronze
#

was just expecting pc building talk, but this is nice too

#

LMAO

#

live asmr pc building streams

pallid cedar
#

close enough lol

north bronze
#

in risqué clothing

marsh mesa
#

fiery nacelle
marsh mesa
#

while leaning down

fiery nacelle
#

Ok so this face is worth at least 5K CAD in single contributions

#

wow

pallid cedar
#

talking about my setup, used to stream from my xbox, and now that I have a beast I haven't touched streaming in months XD

#

#Anxiety

marsh mesa
#

hey she's pretty >:(

fiery nacelle
#

I should ask her to stream GTFO

#

no make that I WILL ask her to stream GTFO

#

probably have to buy her the game

pallid cedar
#

do it

fiery nacelle
#

LOL

marsh mesa
fiery nacelle
#

@marsh mesa you're into professional PC hardware?

marsh mesa
#

I wish but no, I can barely understand anything

#

like yeah I know a thing or two bc my father taught me but that's about it

#

I just know my parents have better computers than I do and know they are good computers so I can't exchange this shitty laptop

fiery nacelle
#

well, have to gather some money I guess to get the PC of your desires

#

I'm still stuck with this PC from 2011

urban gulch
#

take some damn comissions moon

marsh mesa
#

no

fiery nacelle
#

most monies go to the kids oh well

urban gulch
#

:c

marsh mesa
#

I have a computer in mind but I was gonna wait until I moved out of Spain

fiery nacelle
#

Moonight should start streaming

marsh mesa
#

guess I'll have to get it sooner bc I just can't with this headache

#

what do you want me to stream

fiery nacelle
#

might get a rich fan or two

#

which is odd

#

one thing

marsh mesa
#

tootin' rootin' cowboy shootin' 2

chrome chasm
#

You buy a new pc to you and rav in no time if you twitch Moon

marsh mesa
#

omg thank you toobad

#

lemme write u down on the whiteboard

#

oh no it's so looow I might have to lean down

fiery nacelle
#

So this Lady Sovea gets gifted an i9-9900k with 32GB fast DDR4 and an RTX 2080...

#

But I think the most demanding games she's playing is PUBG at 1080p 60

#

It's mostly these simple 3D cartoonish games

chrome chasm
#

Why I am not surprised...

fiery nacelle
#

like Rocket League kind of hardware demanding

#

I think if one were to open up some kind of utilization app...

chrome chasm
#

I'm worried about our future now. It's becoming accepted that cute girl streaming get everything they wish.

fiery nacelle
#

It'd show the i9 9900k at 20% and RTX 2080 at 15% LOL

#

@chrome chasm that is soooooo trueeeeeeeeeeeee

#

hey here they make much bigger bucks than my dedicated streamer friend and his wife (who streams together)

#

should set up a stream with Moonight, Ravenna and 2 other ladies

#

exclusively GTFO and horror

#

and call it

#

Love 4 Dead

#

LOL

marsh mesa
pallid cedar
#

I am 100% either streaming GTFO or just recording every second of playtime

hexed horizon
#

we gonna have a shit ton of streamers

shy imp
#

hey can some one help me out with my new headset? having some problems i cant figure out

gritty venture
#

what problems

fiery nacelle
#

microphone or the speakers?

shy imp
#

speakers. it has a popping sound whenever someone talks in discord and certain music or videos there is popping but not always

pallid cedar
#

go into sound settings, and find out what Khz the sound is coming out at

shy imp
#

48000

pallid cedar
#

hmm, it's not that then

#

do you notice the audio spiking when the pops happen?

shy imp
#

i mean with some songs i blast it louder but it doesnt happen all the time. and no random spikes. but its weird cause every single person who talks in discord has the popping

#

so i have no clue

pallid cedar
#

and you only have one active mic?

shy imp
#

yes

pallid cedar
#

odd

#

sound drivers all up to date?

shy imp
#

just restarted my pc and checked that. everythings good

#

up to date wise*

pallid cedar
#

do you have sound enhancements enabled in windows?

shy imp
#

bass boost

#

that it?

pallid cedar
#

could be, try it

#

the extra bass could be causing audio spikes making it pop

shy imp
#

ight

#

can you get into voice for a sec?

pallid cedar
#

glad I could help

abstract kite
#

What’s the minimum specs for the game? Does anyone know?

I'm researching builds on pcpartspicker at the moment

late sorrel

cool

#

$4.5K USD budget as of right now

#

Waiting to see what new Intel processors come out

gritty venture
#

uuh

#

You thinking of building a NASA PC with 4.5k?

fallen phoenix
#

^

bronze cloak
#

My absolute dream PC with literally no limits costs 4k lmao

#

Still 500 less

pallid cedar
#

mine cost me $3300.... CAD lmao

bronze cloak
#

Thanks to a bunch of gifts, I only spent about 800 USD on my whole setup, if I had made it all from scratch it would be about 1500

urban gulch
#

🙂 nice.

pale arrow
#

NASA doesn't have 4.5K PC's 😛

late sorrel

dream pc for me is about $1.5k

fallen phoenix

2k

plucky tangle
#

@north bronze back before I knew how to build my own pc, ibuypower sent my entire computer to the wrong state, I live in PA, they sent it to Florida. The guy who got it, opened it, ran it, and was like "woah, this isnt my specs". The random guy found my information and called ME (apparently the receipt had my info, and that was indeed in the box). Ibuypower only offered me a game for inconvenience and actually laughed at me, literally laughed, over the phone, when I told them I'm technically getting a second hand pc and to give me a discount.

north bronze
#

Rip

plucky tangle
#

So I feel your pain...

thorny granite
#

If I build one it’s gonna be a 10k rig....

#

So that’s a yikes

gritty venture
#

But why?

thorny granite
#

Because

#

Fuck off amounts of ram, dual 2080’s, an Intel 14 core i9

#

Fuck off amounts of storage

#

Solid state drives for days

#

And a 4K monitor

dusty pumice
#

If that $10k setup is only for gaming thats way over the top if you are going to be streaming i would make it a dual pc setup

#

Only reason for me ever a $10k budget would be reasonable for a PC would be a working from home setup and that system would be nuts

#

If i where ever to spend that huge of a sum on a PC i would definetly wait another year or two for the next generation GPU's since the 2080ti is already a year old and loss of value would be high

late sorrel
#

30 series should be pretty cool

dusty pumice
#

Yeah real question is when that shit releasing ;o

#

10 series was somewhere early 2016?

#

20 series was late 2018

#

so maybe late 2020?

#

I believe new PS5 is coming christmas 2020 or 2021

#

So it would be nice if 30 series releases around that time ish

thorny granite
#

Or they skip 30 and go for 50

dusty pumice
#

I dont think they will skip 30 if "they" do its just gonna be a rename

fleet canopy
#

Since of the new stuff releasing, did ya hear about the 3950X beating the 16 core 32 thread 10980XE?

#

It was by 16 or 26% I think

dusty pumice
#

Havent heard of it but at the same time havent seen any genuine reviews until now so yeah

fleet canopy
#

But I feel it was cheated cause

#

3950X was done with 32 GB 3200 DDR4, and a 2080 Ti while on the other hand, 10980XE was done with a 2070 Super and 16 GB 2933 DDR4

#

I’ll be back in a bit, will take a shower

dusty pumice
#

I have a i9-9980XE and EVGA X299 DARK with 2x 1080ti's so it wil be interesting to see what is gonna happen next month = ) ill be running this setup until somewhere mid june/juli 2020

#

Im also gonna take a shower and wash my hair and eat some food right after so ill be back in 30 mins

sick reef
#

It's a shame they decide to rerelease 7X-series twice.

#

Back when 7X, and 8 series was released, I pondered when they would make an 8-series X chip, with it's improvements to multithreading. Apparently never is the answer to that.

#

Also that delidding the damn thing with liquid metal is apparently heaps and bounds better than the solder is.

dusty pumice
#

Intel Logic

sick reef
#

Does base clock matter when it does 4.8 GHz on all cores at 30 degrees idle? Maybe, but meekly.

normal meteor
fleet canopy
#

Looks damn great, the video quality looks shit

#

He can afford all of this except a good camera or video quality

dusty pumice
#

That video gave me a headache and its not because of all the RGB

plucky tangle
#

Only reason to get a 10k setup, is it you are doing like triple 2160p / 144hz 27in ips panel displays, on top of keyboard, mouse, mic, audiophile headset, dac/amp, and then a beast of a rig.

dusty pumice
#

Way overkill stil

fleet canopy
#

I don’t know a single PC that could ever run 3 2160p 144hz monitors

dusty pumice
#

Like the only reason why i would go over 5k is for a 4k setup but thats only starting now to get decent 144hz screens

fleet canopy
#

Also has got me a question, should I pay 150$~ more for a 1440p 144hz monitor since i ended up on deciding to get a 5700 XT?

dusty pumice
#

For 144hz you would be going over 24inch and that would either take up alot of space on the wall as mounted screens or on the desk and you need one big as fucking desk to fit 3 of them 27inchers on it + having room for your audio equiptment and all the side shit like some people have a laptop for work or other stuff

fleet canopy
#

There are wall mounts for a reason

dusty pumice
#

I mean yeah wall mounts but depends on the room you are in if you are able to have all that space available

fleet canopy
#

I could barely have my 2nd monitor be on the desk without not having more cord length sadly

#

24” with a 22” only took up like

dusty pumice
#

I have a 2 meter long desk and i can barely fit 2 monitors side by side

fleet canopy
#

Half of my desk

#

My PC takes up a fourth

dusty pumice
#

With a PC standing on my desk but that shit is under a shelf so i wouldnt be able to fit a screen there anyway

fleet canopy
#

Actually no my whole desk is completely taken over

dusty pumice
#

My PC takes up like 1/10th

fleet canopy
#

And I’m saying it by their length, not whole area btw

dusty pumice
#

I have desk mounts and it kinda takes in a big area even tho its a desk mount

#

Woops

fleet canopy
#

Oof

dusty pumice
#

But talking about the 1440p 144hz i think its definetly worth it but depends what games u be playing

fleet canopy
#

I try to manage what I can with the space I have of desk

dusty pumice
#

I try to optimize my space completly aswell

#

I have alot of audio equiptment fitted on my desk which takes up like 1/3rd of my desk

fleet canopy
#

I mean, I’m going with a 5700 XT, doesn’t seem any less worth it tbh

#

Yikes

dusty pumice
#

I have 3 screens two vertical ones and a 31.5 inch monitor

#

And a 65 inch wall mounted tv for the consoles

fleet canopy
#

That’s cool

dusty pumice
#

Only issue i had with making a choice for a good 1440p or higher monitor was the lack of choice

#

I could choose from like 200 monitors in 1080p but ended up only being able to choose from like 50 monitors in 3840x2160 and like 60 in 2560x1440p

#

And when your choosing for a 144hz screen you only have like 10 - 20 options left to choose from

fleet canopy
#

Yeah, that’s true

dusty pumice
#

I know theres alot of decent quality 165hz screens releasing next year so thats nice

fleet canopy
#

They never really seem to bother making more despite the fact a good amount of people have PCs good enough to run 1440p 144hz like a breeze

thorny granite
#

But are they 4K 165hz?

fleet canopy
#

Maybe it’s harder to make? Idk

dusty pumice
#

Yes one or two 4k monitors i believe

fleet canopy
#

4K 144Hz is hard :)

thorny granite
#

4K over 30hz is hard

dusty pumice
#

4k is actually getting more 144hz monitors next year

fleet canopy
#

Oh really?

dusty pumice
#

Yup

fleet canopy
#

But you need like

thorny granite
#

They don’t make any 4K 60hz tv’s actually

dusty pumice
#

Its not gonna be cheap

thorny granite
#

Definitely not. Lol.

dusty pumice
#

I think its somewhere between price range of 1500 and 2500 lol

fleet canopy
#

2080 to actually have good stable 4K 60Hz? I most likely am wrong

thorny granite
#

You can manage with a 1080

dusty pumice
#

I dont know the actual numbers but i believe 2080ti runs somewhere between 60 and 85fps on 4k

fleet canopy
#

I’m not entirely sure how cards will perform on a 4K monitor because I haven’t really heard much about how

thorny granite
#

1080 can handle dual 4K monitors

fleet canopy
#

Yikes, I think I’ve heard that

thorny granite
#

That’s dual 4K at 30hz

#

So in theory it could run a single 4K at 60hz

dusty pumice
#

I wouldnt run dual 4k but thats me

thorny granite
#

I run 1080p. Lol

dusty pumice
#

@fiery nacelle might run double monitors on 4k if he had the setup for it lol

#

hes already on a 4k monitor and his setup is alot older than ours

fleet canopy
#

I have a lot of doubts about how GPUs can run 4K

dusty pumice
#

I mean you can find alot of tests done on 4k for the 20 series

fleet canopy
#

But I’m just someone who only has one PC built which only seems to perform at 1080p best than 1440p

#

‘A lot’

dusty pumice
#

I mean yeah but arent you running a 2060?

fleet canopy
#

Sees a bunch of fake ass 4K videos

#

Ahem

#

I run a 1060 3gb lol help me

dusty pumice
#

Lmfao

fleet canopy
#

I wish I had gotten the 6GB

dusty pumice
#

One of my friends is running a 1060 aswell

thorny granite
#

I run a 1060 6gb

plucky tangle
#

I personally prefer 1080p 144hz over 2k 144hz, especially with the price difference. There is still no gpu that is running 2k at ultra settings and getting 144fps

fleet canopy
#

Batman Arkham something almost used up all my 3 GB vram at lowest settings

thorny granite
#

Yikes

dusty pumice
#

I play tons of GTA on private servers that shit is destroying my pc sometimes lol

fleet canopy
#

Oof

plucky tangle
#

Yeah, unless your playing CS-GO, people are not running games on ultra, 2k, 144+ fps constant

fleet canopy
#

My PC can’t really run GTAV without like

dusty pumice
#

In the private servers especially the RP servers all the coding is custom

fleet canopy
#

Ending up stuttering

#

Actually

late sorrel
#

I’ve got a RX570

fleet canopy
#

The last time I played it, grass made the game lag like a motherfucker

dusty pumice
#

And when they bring in certain files for cars or clothing it can fuck with the whole server

#

or certain areas of the map where your whole screen starts to freeze and stutter

fleet canopy
#

And settings are well below the vram limit

dusty pumice
#

I usually stream when i play GTA so yeah it messes up alot

fleet canopy
#

I think the lag caused the game to crash lol

#

One time

dusty pumice
#

Its kinda the only thing in gaming that gives me some form of enjoyment havent really played any games recently that made me enjoy the actual gameplay

#

I hope that will change once new games release next year

fleet canopy
#

I got bored of the game too, already experienced everything there was except the new update idk

dusty pumice
#

I mean streaming is keeping gaming for me enjoyable only because of the chat interaction

fleet canopy
#

For me, I’ve started losing fun in what I used to play often or like

dusty pumice
#

But tbh i just lost interest in alot of games like CSGO and PUBG its just not doing it for me anymore

fleet canopy
#

Same

#

CSGO has really lost its touch

#

PUBG hasn’t been any easier but I still try

dusty pumice
#

PUBG was not very hard for me but i went over to APEX and that shit had so many issues recently that i just left that shit

fleet canopy
#

Oof

dusty pumice
#

Most of these games are just lack of updates that make me stop playing tbh

fleet canopy
#

Apex isn’t fun because forced to play with a squad

dusty pumice
#

You can put in 100s or 1000s of hours but wont give you the same enjoyment when you start getting burned out on it

fleet canopy
#

I heard it had a zombie mode sort of update recently though

dusty pumice
#

Yeah thats complete shit lol

fleet canopy
#

Oof

dusty pumice
#

Zombie update on Rainbow 6 was fun last year

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

late sorrel
#

Apex is okay

fleet canopy
#

They’re having it again soon I heard

dusty pumice
#

I have like 550 hours in apex and i am pretty done with it crashing every time fucking sucks

fleet canopy
#

Damn

dusty pumice
#

Especially in ranked even tho u dont lose any points but its highly annoying

#

So mayo whats the planning on the setup?

#

Just getting a new graphics and a new screen?

fleet canopy
#

Only game at 400 hrs is GTAV and possibly CSSO

#

Nope, whole build

#

Will link the build, hold

dusty pumice
#

I thought u build ur shit already lmfao

#

How long have you been working on this build like 9 months?

fleet canopy
#

First, job need

dusty pumice
#

Why dont you go with the new black noctua ones

fleet canopy
#

Can’t find them for shit lol

dusty pumice
#

I mean grey fans arent bad

#

Makes the case look a bit different instead of full black

fleet canopy
#

I do want the black though, would be nice

dusty pumice
#

Yeah those are fucking nice

fleet canopy
#

I’ll color them red a bit too ig

dusty pumice
#

Especially with the rubbers you are able to pick your own colours

fleet canopy
#

Yes

dusty pumice
#

I can get the chromax ones in my country and the industrial ones

#

Industrial ones are like full black with dark red / brown sides

fleet canopy
#

Nice

dusty pumice
#

But i think those are way higher RPM so idk i would need to look those up first

fleet canopy
#

Only thing I got 5700 XT was because I checked 5700 and I only saw 380$

#

Well not only 380$, but enough to make me go for a 5700 XT

dusty pumice
#

Blackfriday is soon imma buy some stuff and cybermonday

#

So ur paying like 60 extra on the XT?

#

Might be able to grab a deal somewhere when ur ready to buy it and grab a free deal or some $ off

fleet canopy
#

I mean, yeah

#

Specs looked better than the others, good cooling too as said by The hat guy

late sorrel
#

nitro+ is literally better than the 2070S by a couple frames

#

I don

#

't have the links

#

but it's godly

dusty pumice
#

Im skipping the whole 20 series i think

fleet canopy
#

A couple frames isn’t much lol, but it seemed to be top card compared to other 5700 XT cards

dusty pumice
#

Fuck the RTX bullshit 😴

fleet canopy
#

Lmao

#

RTX is basically 100+

dusty pumice
#

Im gonna be using my friends setup until mid next year anyway

fleet canopy
#

Or 800+

dusty pumice
#

Since he will be coming back from a mission then ill probably give him a bit of cash to upgrade his shit

late sorrel
#

RTX is +100

fleet canopy
#

2080 Ti is 800

dusty pumice
#

I mean RTX could be good but lack of games that use it is crazy for me that they implemented it now

late sorrel
#

doot bought rtx ;C

dusty pumice
#

What did doot buy?

fleet canopy
#

There’s quite a few good games

#

2080 Ti clearly

#

lol idk

late sorrel
#

he got a 2070S

fleet canopy
#

Oof

dusty pumice
#

I mean yeah theres some good games but its stil slacking

late sorrel
#

and his watercooled 5700XT died

fleet canopy
#

He paid the 100+

dusty pumice
#

What lmfao

fleet canopy
#

Oh damn

late sorrel
#

so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

dusty pumice
#

When did that shit die

late sorrel
#

idk

dusty pumice
#

Did he even talk about it on his discord?

late sorrel
#

he said that it died or something

fleet canopy
#

No

late sorrel
#

He mentioned it twice

fleet canopy
#

Oh okay

dusty pumice
#

Never seen it lmfao

late sorrel
#

lemme grab it

#

it's pretty cool

dusty pumice
#

thats crazy

#

All his parts keep dying especially his graphics cards

dusty pumice
#

Damn his radeon died aswell

late sorrel
#

yeah

#

rip vega

dusty pumice
#

Hopefully he actually got his money back this time

#

Idk if he broke any warranty by taking that GPU cooler off

fleet canopy
#

Well

late sorrel
#

I think he might have

fleet canopy
#

It’s most likely the fact he does take apart the parts and do shit to it

dusty pumice
#

in my country it breaks warranty but idk about others

fleet canopy
#

He mentioned he does it

#

Should be same for worldwide

dusty pumice
#

Well i mean i get shop warranty not Nvidia or AMD so bit different for me

#

I think but maybe its the same idk

fleet canopy
#

I’ll look for the black noctua fans, then will come back

dusty pumice
#

I never had any issues with my GPU's before tho only CPU's ever and powersupply

late sorrel
#

I broke my warranty for my old HD5670 the other day

dusty pumice
#

@fleet canopy should be an easy find tbh its on their amazon shop and some other well known online market in usa

late sorrel
#

I took the screws off

dusty pumice
#

u didnt have warranty tinted lmfao

late sorrel
#

I had a manufacturers warranty

dusty pumice
#

that shit so old

late sorrel
#

yeah ik

fleet canopy
#

Jesus fuck okay lmao

dusty pumice
#

Lmfao dont worry it didnt cost as much as you would think

dusty pumice
#

I think he got it under 1000 euros when it was new

fleet canopy
#

But it’s still a high end CPU though kek

dusty pumice
#

It is but it was for sale here close to 2000 euros

#

thats an insane price tbh

fleet canopy
#

Christ

dusty pumice
#

maybe even over 2000 euros i dont know it was somewhere in that price range tho

fleet canopy
#

If I had to guess

dusty pumice
#

What i wouldnt recommend anymore is going double on videocards tho its just not worth the money investment

fleet canopy
#

It’s either 700$ or 1300$

#

I know 2x isn’t good anymore

dusty pumice
#

You have like 2 - 3 / 4 years and lose so much value on it

fleet canopy

thorny granite
#

dusty pumice
#

Gladly i am that old

#

Couldnt say i would want to miss all the good times back in the day

thorny granite
#

My ex girlfriend is actually 26 now I think... 🤔

dusty pumice
#

And all the games where an amazing one time payment for quality

#

I never dated older girls but i never had the chance to do that either lmfao

#

Usually one or two years younger

thorny granite
#

I’m not particularly picky...

#

But then again.

#

I probably should be

#

She was cute. I have a thing for redheads...

dusty pumice
#

I was way too picky with girls when i was younger

#

Missed so many good times

thorny granite
#

But then she moved to Florida, broke up with me a few months later, and got married to some guy a month after that.

dusty pumice
#

Damn thats rough

fleet canopy
#

My preferred usually is 1-3 years apart from my age

#

As a 16 year old though, I won’t date a 13-14 year old

dusty pumice
#

I havent been in a relationship for a bit now kinda cant be fucked

thorny granite
#

I care less about age, so long as they aren’t antique or a smol child...

dusty pumice
#

Everyone wants to marry at my age

thorny granite
#

^^

dusty pumice
#

And i kinda want some freedom before i start thinking about kids

thorny granite
#

I know the feelz

fleet canopy
#

You care less about age?

#

Age is just a number

thorny granite
#

She wanted to get married and I was like... “ehhh. Later.”

dusty pumice
#

It is

thorny granite
#

I’d date anyone 18-25

dusty pumice
#

But if you are dating people who already have their whole lifes planned out it kinda starts to not be a number

#

But more like a prisoncell lmfao

fleet canopy
#

Lol like the one photo where a small sized pink drawing is 13, and a taller blue person is 30

dusty pumice
#

Id date anyone around 20 - 23 tbh

fleet canopy
#

Age is just a number
