No, I already did upgrade. 😆

#

I'm just selling my old processor now.

fleet canopy
#

To what? 6700K?

#

:)))

eternal cairn
#

That was my old processor though. LOL

#

I never had a 6700, just a 6700k.

fleet canopy
#

What CPU though, are you upgrading to?

eternal cairn
#

I'm not upgrading to anything currently. I upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900x about a month ago.

fleet canopy
#

What about a normal freesync/freesync 2?

#

And how well does NVIDIA work with Freesync/2 monitors that're not "Gsync compact approved"

eternal cairn
#

Based on how it works, G-Sync monitors have the chip that does all of the stuff that is done via software on G-Sync Compatible displays. I imagine G-Sync Compatible would still have be affected by PC performance since the display doesn't have the G-Sync chip in it.

#

Freesync, I believe, uses an open-source chip (but I might be thinking of adaptive sync).

#

Freesync 2 is essentially the same, except that it has higher dynamic refresh rate.

lament fiber
#

If you want a $300ish card that you can play games on and tinker with gat a 5700. If you want a GPU that works out of the box and has a solid rep get a Nvidia super of some kind.

#

Monitors are now coming out that support both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

eternal cairn
#

Could you link some?

eternal cairn
#

Oh, those are just G-Sync compatible.

lament fiber
#

That does mean it works. It is better than plugging in your monitor that you spent good money on and getting a black screen followed by a "Video not supported" message.

#

Also IPS monitors are now able to do gaming level refresh rates and response times. Though for a price well above TN monitors.

fleet canopy
#

More like for a kidney

#

Unless you can find a sale like a 1440p 144hz IPS for 250$

abstract kite
#

Don't get the 5700/XT

#

Save for a 2070s or buy a 2060s.

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

Unless you know how to make 5700XT work with fixing crap drivers

sick reef
#

I think most people want a GPU that works out of the box, as that is kind of the point.

#

And I'm unsure where to get your info for Monitors on a basic level, but I'm pretty certain Tom's Hardware is not the right place.

#

I use tftcentral, but it requires a certain investement into panel metric to understand.

#

But you can't really trust methodology or intention regarding Tom's Hardware.

abstract kite
#

Now to be fair and give proper credit to AMD I have not been black screening at all since recent updates.

#

I have not been BlueScreening either. My next move though is to buy some Noctua 120mm Case Fans because you gotta keep this GPU cool or it will sound like a Jet getting ready to take off.

#

But that is really a super minor gripe lol

brisk badger
#

take off the cooler, remove paste (and pads if you have your own). replace them and put it back it. saves some degrees

#

or do it like I do; undervolt 🙂

#

lose 5-10% performance for 20-30% less power consumption (and therefor also heat production)

abstract kite
#

Ehhh.

#

I am not gonna be removing the back plate.

#

I may undervolt though.

brisk badger
#

Idon't think you have to unless you want to change thermal pads

#

as reference;
the 5700xt uses 1'200mV by default. My gpu does 1950MHz @ 1200mV and I changed it to 1850 @ 1080mV. Doesn't look like much undervolt but it actually really does help. In demanding 3d applicaiton I have a power usage of ~155watt. It used to be 180-190w

abstract kite
#

Btw for us in the USA we're looking at a great possibility of a recession. Prices are gonna start shooting up for electronics.

jolly idol
#

^^look at Linus’ vid he does some research on why there gona rise

#

His video ^

merry bay
#

If you weren't planning on upgrading right about now anyway, don't go on a shopping spree. Panic purchases are a huge part of the price increases.

vapid crypt
#

For the reference 5700XT there is a modification you can do to improve temps and therefore acoustics. You just need some plastic washers, apparently just improving the mounting pressure is enough.

abstract kite
#

Do I need a Thermal Paste Applicator too? Hehe

vapid crypt
#

People like to change out the thermal pad for paste too, I'm sure that helps as well

abstract kite
#

I mean its good I guess.

vapid crypt
abstract kite
#

I was playing BDO on Ultra Settings and my PC was having problems with thermals so I switched it to high.

fleet lark
#

Honestly yhe stupid bitcoin boom has been worse for technology prices than a recession will be lol

fleet canopy
#

Yes

fleet lark
#

I remember i bought my 1080 for like 500~ bucks and within a week or two it was online for like 1100 bucks

fleet canopy
#

Damn

fleet lark
#

And i was like got dayum boi people be burning electricity to make cents lol

fleet canopy
#

Haha

#

I just hope it never happens again

fleet lark
#

Honestly it probably will with some other crypto

fleet canopy
#

Because I don't want like the 3000/3000S series to go boom boom in price

fleet lark
#

At this point at least in america its expensive to mine bitcoin unless u got solar power and shit

fleet canopy
#

There's been other currency sort of rising

fleet lark
#

Yeh always but you gotta see if another one rises like btc did

fleet canopy
#

Kind of like really low in price, but steadily increasing

#

Fuck internet currency though cause it proves no literal help

#

You spend too much to make the amount you spent on

fleet lark
#

Unless you live in china and have your electricity provided for free B^)

fleet canopy
#

Unless you can fish out hundreds of GPUs for an even bigger discount than a shitty price

fleet lark
#

Its like a business

#

People figure it out

median moon
#

damn.

#

i got my parts at a good time 👀

vapid crypt
#

I doubt a boom of the same level would happen, that was a time where everyone and their momma learned about Bitcoin and how it skyrocketed in price. That also uplifted the cost of other alternate coins, so phaSheva

severe aspen
#

am i allowed to post links to tech stuff im looking to buy? amazon links.

vapid crypt
#

Sure, we've been doing that always pretty much

#

Even pcpartpicker links

severe aspen
#

because ive been looking to get an upgrade to my current laptop and think ive narrowed it down quite well. The main one im looking at is:

vapid crypt
#

Hmm

#

So the new Ryzen chips for laptops are gonna be rolling out soon in this quarter, some might already be out. Might be worth looking out for those, cause you could likely get a 6c/12t laptop for the same price. Not something I know entirely about though, I only recall Asus having the new 8c/16t with 1660tis and 2060s starting at $1400, I suppose the GPU and other such things would add to the price though.

severe aspen
#

Im not looking for anything over $900 for one. and im not looking to be playing AAA titles like CoD or anything super graphically taxing. I just want a laptop that can stream some PC games, like GTFO for example. And to do that, i need a better graphics card. because the one i have now, GTX 960m, doesnt have the power to render the graphics properly without having to use the help of my CPUs. 4c i7. that there means my CPU cant dedicate itself to the upload of the stream for high graphic games, even on low settings. making the stream choppy

#

so a GTX 1050 is a HUGE step in the direction i need, plus 16GB of RAM and an SSD will help wonders

vapid crypt
#

Eh I mean I doubt a mobile 1050 is that much better than a mobile 960, but then again I don't really know. Any reason why it needs to be a laptop?

severe aspen
#

where i live, the space i have doesnt allow me to have a desktop

#

or space for a tower

#

and yeah, a 970 is significantly better than a 960 as is. so a 1050 is massively better

vapid crypt
#

So you might have space for a monitor, and peripherals, but none for a computer. Are you aware of the various form factors computers come in?

severe aspen
#

i could use my TV as a monitor. I know people who do that. I just dont have any space, literally for a tower. I am not aware of other form factors that they come in.

vapid crypt
#

So like Mini-ITX is a popular formfactor cause its quite small, like this is the complete opposite of those massive full tower computers you've may have seen before

fleet lark
#

Yeah what i think its atx tower, atx and mini? I think?

vapid crypt
#

There's E-ATX, ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX. There's some other niche ones like DTX or something, at one point there was a BTX but I think that died like over a decade ago

#

But anyway yeah I would say Mini-ITX computers take up no more space than most game consoles. Granted depending on the enclosure in question

severe aspen
#

do they pack the same power as a normal sized computer can?

vapid crypt
#

Absolutely, its all the same hardware

#

The only differences are the power supply, and motherboard. It limits some options naturally when it comes to space

#

So you might not have access to every single kind of massive graphics card for example

#

But generally they make ITX models in such cases

severe aspen
#

currently the only space i have for a desktop would be directly next to my router. (which on its own is not a bad thing.) but I have a cat that doesnt leave me alone, and he gets adventurous from time to time.

#

if he knocked over a $700 desktop (or more expensive even who knows) and smashed it... I would no longer have that cat

#

he would be out the door, 100%

vapid crypt
#

Now an ITX computer wouldn't be as heavy as some pcs, but I don't think it would be light enough and lack the friction to be pushed over by a cat phaWesker

stark plover
#

Just put a big o paper weight on the PC and now it's to heavy to knock over

#

Smart 100

severe aspen
#

he has somehow managed to rip a weighted cage lid off. im pretty sure he can still knock over a small pc

stark plover
#

:(

brisk badger
severe aspen
#

yeah, he sure would 😆

#

at least with my laptop, the worst he can do is sit on it

#

which he has done before.

median moon
#

oh no

vapid crypt
#

Yeah that's an ITX chassis phaWesker

abstract kite
#

Only a 650W PSU?

vapid crypt
#

Its a 1060

abstract kite
#

Fair.

vapid crypt
#

650w is arguably too much actually phaWesker

#

Well not too much

#

But like not needed you know

abstract kite
#

Is 700W to much for my card?

vapid crypt
#

So 700W is what they recommend for a Radeon VII

#

Still though, considering efficiency curves

#

Its not a bad idea to go well over what's needed

abstract kite
#

Thought my recommended was 650W

#

Hnm

vapid crypt
#

Power Supplies are usually most efficient at 50% load

abstract kite
#

So I should be looking to get a 1200W PSU?

vapid crypt
#

No phaWesker

#

Your GPU isn't drawing 650w

#

That's what they recommend considering the system as a whole

#

At max load it might be drawing 550w or something, that's at max load mind you

#

And I'm referring to your entire system

#

So let

#

Eh

abstract kite
#

Well I'm not running at 50% load.

vapid crypt
#

Let's say its drawing 350w while gaming, then a 700w power supply would be most efficient. Course that's only an estimation

fleet canopy
#

I prefer like 300W more than what PCPP says it'll be

#

Cause then you have a lot of room for overclocking, upgrades later on that likes power, etc.

abstract kite
#

I bet the 3000s series of GPU is gonna be a energy hog.

fleet canopy
#

Oh yeah it'll be

#

Honestly I never really will get a PSU if it means I'm below 200W minimum

vapid crypt
#

Nah they're going to 7nm, and as long as they're limiting their flagship to 250w they will do it

#

They might decide to up it to 300w, they might have to

merry bay
#

3000 series will be on 7nm, I don't expect them to go ham on power to start with. And the smaller process should allow for pretty good efficiency

#

Beat me to it ^^

fleet canopy
#

It'll be pretty nice having that

#

Hopefully they're not wrong about a near 50% increase in performance tbh

#

Cause then that'll be a big upgrade from 2070 Super to a 3070 Super

brisk badger
#

Welcome to the world of marketing and advertising

vapid crypt
#

That leak was about their server cards

#

I'm pretty sure

fleet canopy
#

Oh? Generally just said "The 3000 series GPUs"

vapid crypt
#

It won't scale up like that I don't think

fleet canopy
#

Probably not, but it'd be nice

#

More likely a 20-30%

#

Which is still quite a big amount

vapid crypt
#

The 3070 will likely be ~5% better than a 2080 Super or something

fleet canopy
#

Like 1070 to 2070, there's a 25%~ difference

vapid crypt
#

Its kinda easy to figure out how the stack performs, though if we go by performance/watt, its likely across the stack they will easily increase it by close to 50%

fleet canopy
#

And with 7nm, plus the fact that'd probably allow even more performance

vapid crypt
#

Which is to say a lower watt card will perform similar to a higher watt one from this current generation

fleet canopy
#

Hm?

#

Oh yeah

fleet canopy
#

He wants to just game lmao

vapid crypt
#

Nice improvement, but that m.2 you keep using is Sata not PCIE

fleet canopy
#

Wait it is?

vapid crypt
#

Yeah

#

You can actually tell just by looking at it

fleet canopy
#

Oh huh

#

That's wild

vapid crypt
#

First of all it says Sata on the label, but other than that there's another way

#

Spot the difference?

fleet canopy
#

Uhhh

#

I'm gonna assume

#

No idea

vapid crypt
#

The connectors are different

fleet canopy
#

Oh I see

vapid crypt
#

The Sata model has two notches

#

That's pretty much the same for all of them

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

Any for NVMe?

vapid crypt
#

That's 50 bucks you mean?

#

Sure

fleet canopy
#

I mean like the difference

vapid crypt
#

Well if you look it has just the one notch

fleet canopy
#

So just the 1-2 notches then

vapid crypt
#

Sure

#

But yeah the Sabrent Rocket at the same capacity as that

#

WD one is pretty much the same price

cerulean pilot
#

idk ive always found that samsung have the best 3D NAND for NVMe

vapid crypt
#

They do, and if you value the fastest speeds then you'll likely pay for the premium

fleet canopy
#

Samsung is pretty great for the high spec

#

But fuck the prices

vapid crypt
#

But tbh there's a number in the market that's close enough

fleet canopy
#

50$ for a 500GB SSD, 100$ for their 500GB SSD

#

Wait uhh

#

It's slightly lower

#

But you get the idea

vapid crypt
#

I think its like 80

fleet canopy
#

It's just got the overpriced cost

vapid crypt
#

The 960 pro or whatever

fleet canopy
#

970

#

Haven't seen 960 unless you mean 860

vapid crypt
#

Yeah there's a 960, I think there's a different lower spec model

#

Oh the Evo plus line

#

Or just Evo phaSheva

#

These product lines can get confusing phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

Samsung is overpriced for something you can get for same specs at lower price

vapid crypt
#

There's 970 pro, 970 Evo, and 970 Evo Plus

fleet canopy
#

I believe Pro is top tier over all Evo

vapid crypt
#

Sure

#

That makes sense

fleet canopy
#

"The key difference between the Pro and the Evo is the type of NAND used: the Pro uses MLC V-NAND, while the Evo uses the cheaper and more tightly packed TLC V-NAND. Random read performance (4KB QD32) on the 512GB 960 Pro is up to 330K IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), with write speeds of up to 330K IOPS."

#

Yeah

#

More price for a better performing SSD

vapid crypt
#

I believe Sabrent uses similar TLC Nand for their Rocket ssds

#

So yeah... kinda not worth bothering with the Evo stuff at least

fleet canopy
#

Or with samsung at all unless you actually will use the speed to it's full potential in something I guess

#

But then again, there's more likely other SSDs that already overcomes Samsung

vapid crypt
#

If someone's really concerned with SSD speeds they'll get a gen 4 one phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

Haha

vapid crypt
#

Which I don't think Samsung makes yet

fleet canopy
#

970 might be Gen 4

#

I'm pretty sure that went out recently, so it might use

vapid crypt
#

Nah its Gen 3

fleet canopy
#

Dang

vapid crypt
#

The Evo plus is actually newer, seems like it might be a slightly lower binned Pro. The performance is almost the same phaSheva

#

While being a bit less

#

I dunno maybe not PirateSimon

#

Seems negligible looking at numbers, but I guess there's more to it than just performance

merry bay
#

The pro also has an actual dram(sometimes SLC) buffer, not just a portion of the drive, but a separate thing.

vapid crypt
#

Hmm looking good. looks like a really nice budget laptop chip I reckon

fleet canopy
#

Funny how they're trying to go for the lowest possible watt

abstract kite
#

I should really get that Apple PC Stand that has costs $10k

fleet canopy
#

Oh hell yeah Galerus

#

Go for it

#

I don't know much about it, but it's like so expensive as fuck so it's gotta be like the best ever stand

abstract kite
#

Ikr! I heard it was made out of this super rare material. The Material is called... Aluminum. I don't know how you get the stuff, but it is super lightweight.

late sorrel
#

oh damn aluminum?

#

I might buy it too

fallow lynx

#

Where are the mods?

old patrol
#

In your closet

abstract kite
#

Evidently because the are not doing anything

late sorrel
#

they did

#

in general

abstract kite
#

I contacted D0c directly.

late sorrel
#

see? the link is gone

#

they did stuff

abstract kite
#

Mod contact is down.

late sorrel
#

the ping worked

fleet canopy
#

No mod ain't down GWmythicalThonkCool

#

I'm seeing it online

abstract kite
#

It isn't sending messages to the moderation team as it should be.

late sorrel
#

so?

#

what's the issue

#

it took them a minute but they dealt with it

abstract kite
#

I had to contact D0c himself for it to be done.

late sorrel
#

when did you message d0c

abstract kite
#

Now for the bot.

fleet canopy
#

8 mins ago

#

Hm

late sorrel

that was after it was deleted 🤔

I'm sticking to my words

old patrol

I'm glad you think so

late sorrel
#

So it doesn’t really matter

abstract kite
#

You are sitting there acting like I'm a bad guy.

#

Being aggressive for fuck all reason

late sorrel
#

the point was that they dealt with it when you pinned them

#

and uh, not sure where you got that from

abstract kite
#

No. No it wasn't.

#

Tinted look at how you are talking to me.

#

Actually you won't see it.

late sorrel
#

lol ok

void perch
#

Alright let me set a few things in order here

#
  1. this is pc build help and tech talk, which is off topic for mod stuff
fleet canopy
#

o:

void perch
#
  1. I've been doing a lot of network maintenance today, so my bots are going up and down
fleet canopy
#

:o

void perch
#

which leads to some moments where mod contact isn't working

#

that's why we have @ mod pings

#

for the most part the bots have been up, just brief outages while I reconfigure stuff

#

which will eventually lead to a more stable system.

old patrol
#

Hm

abstract kite
#

Well technically it was about the bot being down so it was about PC stuff. Hehe

fleet canopy

lament fiber
#

Heyo! Anyone know a company that sells a water cooling system for the ryzen 5700 that does not cost a testicle or looks like a $30 product being sold for $300? I've been over clocking mine and it be getting toasty.

#

The usual sources I.E. Google and Amazon/Newegg are all selling things that are WAAAAAY overpriced. That or things that seem sketchy as all get out.

eternal cairn
#

If your budget is anything less than $100, you're better off with a heatsink.

#

I have a 240mm AIO from Cooler Master that cost $130 and only keeps my CPU 10 degrees cooler.

#

The next cheapest is a 120mm AIO, but there's less improvement with those and they still cost roughly $60-$80.

lament fiber
#

I do not mind spending money if need be but when I can buy an all aluminum cylinder head for an engine at $350 from the DEALER I don't see why a cooling block for a GPU needs to cost the same amount.

eternal cairn
#

The excuse I've heard of is that the materials are expensive.

lament fiber
#

ABS Plastic, copper, brass, aluminum? HA nope.

eternal cairn
#

That's what I've heard, anyway.

lament fiber
#

They also do not inhouse make the items they have a dedicated shop do it

eternal cairn
#

Are you looking for AIO or custom loop?

lament fiber
#

Right now which ever one is working and does not cost more then it lookes

eternal cairn
#

Custom loop is going to cost up to thousands depending on what you want done and requires maintenance.

lament fiber
#

I'm about to make my own. I have a machine shop I can call I just need to give them the measurements.

eternal cairn
#

The only AIO setups are for CPUs, so if you're only concerned about GPU cooling, you'll have to go for a custom loop.

#

Oh, nice.

lament fiber
#

Thousands?!?!? What for?

eternal cairn
#

Pumps, water blocks (which are hundreds of dollars), tubing, etc..

#

If you're only doing your GPU, it won't cost that much.

lament fiber
#

I just need the heat transfer plate.... Uh most of the ones I see are made of acrylic and a brass plate....

eternal cairn
#

Copper is probably better.

#

Has a higher thermal conductivity.

lament fiber
#

Brass and copper work. Better than aluminum anyways.

eternal cairn
#

Oh, you'll also need a filter.

lament fiber
#

All the after market air coolers I see are aluminum.

eternal cairn
#

Those are pretty cheap though, aren't they?

fleet canopy
#

Hm

eternal cairn
#

I think almost all air coolers use aluminum fins.

#

What GPU do you have, @lament fiber? Do you think you'll upgrade in the near future?

lament fiber
#

I have a Ryzen 5700 and no I will not be upgrading any time soon unless the thing melts.... which it might do sooner rather than later

eternal cairn
#

Every time you upgrade a part, you'll have to get a new water block for it.

fleet canopy
#

Ryzen 5700

#

Wow he's got something that doesn't exist

#

How's the CPU power?

brisk badger
#

why heatsink fins are alumium (taken from the web):

Aluminum dissipates heat faster (than cooper) AFTER the energy source has stopped. Has to do with density and weight per given joules, among other things. Think of a piece of aluminum foil when you take it out of the oven.
#

also a heatsink block made out of pure copper is pretty heavy 🙂

eternal cairn
#

(than cooper)

#

Damn it, Cooper!

brisk badger
#

xD

lament fiber
#

Meh I got my cpu and gpu mixed up. I have a 5700 and a 3600. I don't really keep the names straight as they are both AMD

eternal cairn
#

Is the 3600 the CPU...?

lament fiber
#

@brisk badger Dissipates and transfers are two different things.

eternal cairn
#

Oh, never mind.

#

But since the aluminum fins are on the outside of the cooler, the fan blows the heat away.

lament fiber
#

I know cars. I know less of computers but I know how to cool things down.

eternal cairn
#

Regardless, copper has the highest thermal transfer, if I remember my chemistry correctly.

brisk badger
#

yea but you do have usually copper pipes transfer the heat to the aluminum fins

lament fiber
#

I also am about to build a Freon based cooling system for cheaper than the cost of buying an AIO or "custom" loop system.

eternal cairn
#

Yeah, because they transfer heat faster than aluminum, but aluminum dissipates it faster, making it better for air cooling.

#

What's Freon?

lament fiber
#

I have an old mini fridge I can gut.

eternal cairn
#

So, it's basically an environmentally friendly cooler?

lament fiber
#

Nothing is environmentally friendly not even the environment...

eternal cairn
#

*sigh* I mean it's more environmentally safe than other types of coolers.

lament fiber
#

Well it can kill you.

#

So yes

eternal cairn
#

Whatever. How is it any cheaper though?

lament fiber
#

Do you want the from purchasing everything new reason or it is based off what I have laying around reason?

eternal cairn
#

Both.

lament fiber
#

ok

#

I have an old mini fridge that is working but had been left unplugged so all the food in it rotted. It smells bad and is unsafe for food, but my PC has no nose or need to eat. I can gut it and stuff my parts in it.

#

The other option is I I buy one from Walmart for $80 USD and do the same.

abstract kite
#

Well some if the food may be good...

lament fiber
#

I then no longer need case fans and the factory GPU cooling device will have more room to work with

fleet canopy
#

A refrigerator PC, hm

eternal cairn
#

So you're using a fridge to cool your computer?

lament fiber
#

I have done it before.

eternal cairn
#

Why were you asking about liquid cooling though?

vapid crypt
#

Hmm

fleet canopy
#

That was his only refrigerator

#

:)

lament fiber
#

I used a deep freezer from the 1980's as the cooler and monitor stand

abstract kite
#

You know why can't you make a mini-fridge a PC Case? ThinkingDiscordBlob

vapid crypt
#

I'm no expert on refrigerators, but wouldn't condensation occur within it?

eternal cairn
#

Not much airflow.

abstract kite
#

Ah El is right

eternal cairn
#

Condensation will occur with anything at cold enough temperatures.

lament fiber
#

I asked about if anyone knew of any companies that sold items for GPU cooling. Also for not that much money. because I have a reasonable cheaper method than what they wanted to sell to me.

fleet canopy
#

Well that's your only option unless there are custom watercooling for GPUs that can be attached onto the GPU

eternal cairn
#

There are GPU water blocks.

#

But those cost up to a hundred bucks.

lament fiber
#

As for how I deal with condensation I seal the door shut with silicone and flush out all the air with nitrogen.

vapid crypt
#

Really only worth going for that if you're looking at pushing the card to the absolute limit

eternal cairn
#

Sounds like a potentially hazardous science experiment.

lament fiber
#

Nah nitrogen is safe.

eternal cairn
#

I meant for the computer.

lament fiber
#

I have access to CO2. Now that can kill you quick

abstract kite
#

Eh I want to play BDO on Ultra Settings. Only way to do that is with either better fans or a Water Cooler.

fleet canopy
#

BDO?

#

Oh

Black Desert Online

#

Lokks great but my GPU cooks Kek

fleet canopy
#

Oof lmao

#

Never knew it was very demanding sometimes

vapid crypt
#

By cooks, are we talking 90c or something? phaWesker

abstract kite
#

85c~

lament fiber
#

I have my GPU OC'd to 2080MHz My factory settings had me locked to 1750MHz

abstract kite
#

But our GPU is "expected" to hit 110c and be fine Laugh

fleet canopy
#

Hah

eternal cairn
#

What are the temps you usually get, @lament fiber?

vapid crypt
#

Like I linked before

fleet canopy
#

It'll just automictically shut down

abstract kite
#

I know heh

fleet canopy
#

Shitty gaming experience

vapid crypt
#

The washer mod + replacing the thermal pad will I believe drop temps by like 10c

fleet canopy
#

Link?

vapid crypt
#

Actually I take that back, it might be more like 5c; but it will run the fan at lower rpm

abstract kite
#

Isn't the 5700XT considered a high-end GPU?

lament fiber
#

Anything over 90C and the card slows WAY down. @eternal cairn Gaming I hit 74-85C regularly.

fleet canopy
#

Ehh

vapid crypt
#

I wouldn't call it that no

fleet canopy
#

If you think a GPU running 1440p 144hz is high end

#

Then sure

lament fiber
#

5700XT is High mid class

fleet canopy
#

But the price makes it between mid-high

lament fiber
#

5700 is mid-mid class

abstract kite
#

Mid-High, got it.

vapid crypt
#

In fact I reckon it was supposed to be a tier lower, they just put more power into it and clocks to get it up there

lament fiber
#

2080Ti is +ultra

fleet canopy
#

The 2080 and anything past is high

abstract kite
#

I want a Titan.

fleet canopy
#

2080 Ti is a joke to get

#

Unless you can spend that money or find it for 900$

#

Speaking of, could be found at ebay or the other online store for 900$ usually

eternal cairn
#

I honestly don't see much point in getting those unless they won't get outdated for roughly 7 years.

abstract kite
#

So

fleet canopy
#

Not refurbished as it says

abstract kite
#

There is a difference. Saying Nvidia for a TI and a Super.

vapid crypt
#

That seems like its too high for a pre-owned card

lament fiber
#

The most exotic cooling system I have seen for a computer first hand was a buddy who sank his entire PC in mineral oil. It worked great.

brisk badger
#

i would pay extra 160usd shipping cost for that card 😮

eternal cairn
#

It doesn't matter if it's preowned, @vapid crypt.

vapid crypt
#

I find it funny that the MSRP is supposed to be 999, but they literally never sell for that much

eternal cairn
#

They all go for the same price unless they're broken.

fleet canopy
#

Refurbished is usually 900$ too

eternal cairn
#

Okay, that's ridiculous.

fleet canopy
#

And getting it lower than 900$ is a no-no as it's closer to a 2080 Super price

lament fiber
#

They are inflating the market because people will pay it.

eternal cairn
#

Nobody would buy it refurbished then.

#

Very stupid* people will pay it.

lament fiber
#

And they do

vapid crypt
#

People with more money than sense

lament fiber
#

constantly

abstract kite
#

Psh you call it "Inflation" I call is "Surprise Mechanics"

eternal cairn
#

Makes me glad the coronavirus is killing people.

fleet canopy
#

It's only killing older ones

vapid crypt
#

When a 75% price increase in 1.5 years is considered inflation PirateSimon

eternal cairn
#

And people with weaker immune systems.

fleet canopy
#

Children are more likely to live

#

Their immune systems can't be that fucked up

vapid crypt
#

I lived through Swine Flu phaSip

fleet canopy
#

What a pig

vapid crypt
#

Fawk Yeah 🤪

lament fiber
#

It is the same as the flu. Weak, old, young, immune compromised blah blah. It will go away in 6 months. Back to PC coolers and GPUs.

fleet canopy
#

Yeah I hope

eternal cairn
#

Eh, I kinda hope not.

fleet canopy
#

But United States is pretty dumb so my attempt at getting anything that is related to tech might be a fucking slap on the face for me for a longer bit

#

People might be smart enough to acknowledge it though I guess

lament fiber
#

So when I do end up burning out my 5700(nonXT) would the 2070 be good to replace it with?

fleet canopy
#

2070 Super would be a better upgrade

vapid crypt
#

Why would you burn it out?

eternal cairn
#

I'd get something you won't have to upgrade from for a long time.

fleet canopy
#

I'm literally seeing same prices with 2070 and 2070 Super

vapid crypt
#

And I mean hardly, I'm sure by the time you burn it out better hardware will be out

eternal cairn
#

Same, @fleet canopy. LOL

lament fiber
#

is there enough of a difference to warrant getting the SUPER version over the nonSUPER version? it seems like marketing to me.

fleet canopy
#

It's so pointless getting a non super if you can find a super that's good for same price

vapid crypt
#

Technically yes

eternal cairn
#

Super is probably better.

lament fiber
#

I see it all the time. New paint on an old item.

fleet canopy
#

It's got a 2080 board, if El was right from what I remember

vapid crypt
#

The 2070 Super uses a larger GPU die and is about on par with the 1080ti

#

Effectively its a cutdown 2080

fleet canopy
#

Pretty much yeah I guess

vapid crypt
#

Its like ~20% faster

#

Or something like that

fleet canopy
#

It's not by a long shot, but an overclock might be comparable to a 2080

lament fiber
#

So if I buy two of them and weld them together then flash a 2080ti BIOS on it I will have a 2080? Cool

fleet canopy
eternal cairn
#

You'll probably have issues with drivers.

vapid crypt
#

Nah Nvidia locks that shit down PirateSimon

lament fiber
#

And it would be just like my AMD then?

fleet canopy
#

Welding 2 GPUs together, hm

vapid crypt
#

When they used to put two GPUs on one card

eternal cairn
#

I doubt NVidia has drivers for welded GPUs.

lament fiber
#

I have a welder. I can give it the old american try.

fleet canopy
#

500+500=1,000USD

#

Pretty sure at that point, a 2080 Ti is more benefitable for you

vapid crypt
#

Yeah not really saving much money at that point

eternal cairn
#

I'd wait to hear if "big navi" is worth it or not.

lament fiber
#

Who said I have to "buy" the cards?

eternal cairn
#

I stole some RAM from Best Buy once.

fleet canopy
#

No one said you didn't have to "buyuh" it

lament fiber
#

I can just borrow a few.

vapid crypt
#

Unfortunately no information about that outside of statements about RDNA2 bringing 50% more performance per watt, and they plan to compete in the 4k market again finally

Only thing Linus stole was tampons

That was from the Amazon Store.

#

Damn. that was shady.

fleet canopy
#

Well anything you can do to get past the fucking crappy price

eternal cairn
#

Hey, if there's a will, there's a way.

#

Prices are bullshit.

lament fiber
#

Yup

So anyone else find it interesting that a good number of cars are just now updating to 32bit software?

#

Anything before 2010 was ran on 18 and 24 bit programming.

Haven't heard of anything for cars

late sorrel
#

Lol what?

#

That’s wack

lament fiber
#

I tune my cars and the software is well mostly command code.

They even have full blown AI programming in them to learn how you drive. And computer AI in cars has been around sense 1988.

late sorrel
#

#

I've just now watched the video of tampon stealing

#

"Diet snapple ice tea, raspberry.."

#

"Ugh, diet."

lament fiber
#

The new ones with OnStar are even more... stalkery.

brisk badger
#

cars use FPGA, RISC , whatever processor variants there exists. Not that I know much about but what differs the usage of 32bit and lower as end consumer? I would be baffled if a car needs to use more than 4gb allocated for a software

lament fiber
#

They only started to update the software due to phones and people wanting wifi in their cars. To better integrate remote apps like starting your car from your phone they had to use compatible programs.

brisk badger
#

I see. I am also amazed how expensive these tools are to enable (serial? lol) communication to an external device

lament fiber
#

Most cars use multiple system computers that have a hub link to the main CPU. The cost to have a tool to talk to your transition's computer and to talk to your engines computer are the same price for non dealerships. Also the safety restraint has its own dedicated computer. That tool cost even more than either of the two other tools. Dealerships just pull out a laptop as their tool is an all in one.

#

I was about to buy a dealer level computer diagnostic tool but I had to subscribe to their "Terms" to even have the privilege to pay for it. The tool was a Dell laptop with a bunch of cable to connect it to the vehicle and it cost 34000, + 1200 annual subscription for updates and, a nondisclosure agreement.

Didn’t Linus make a video on it?

#

seemed decently cool, just that there is no reason for it

like, the 3950x doesn’t need a special water cooler

abstract kite
#

I guess because its a all build for Water cooling

vapid crypt
#

They recommend an AIO, but yeah it isn't necessary. Big air cooler is fine.

abstract kite
#

I mean it looks fantastic imo, but its not worth that price. Lol

fleet canopy

It’s pretty worthless

Or more generously, should be 700$

Would you take a B540 Series of board over that?

late sorrel

probably?

I mean if you had the choice disregarding money.

late sorrel
#

yeah

fleet canopy
#

If I had a reason to use PCIe 4.0, no

late sorrel

it’s more work to do water cooling

so I’d have to say rip to pcie 4

fleet canopy
#

Plus nothing needs it except big M.2 drives

late sorrel
#

yeah so I wouldn’t buy that

#

just get a high end b450

or a tomohawk max or something

vapid crypt

I mean that's technically a high end

B450

If you're getting B450 that's the one to get

late sorrel

true lol

none the less I wouldn’t get that mobo

If you're buying that MB you're doing it because you don't have to replace stock coolers. But often you can't pull enough power to justify more than passive air flow, or small fans on heatsinks.

For the very extreme OC, it'd be to not have to replace the stock MB cooler, and just buy something you can slot into a open loop easily.

Check out your Advanced Video settings. Try messing around with Max Render Queue Frames.
Likely to make a difference if you have it set to "0" now.

#

In other words. Setting it above 0 should increase fps.

stoic tree
#

i think it was at 120

#

but i can check again once im home

merry bay
#

If they'd allow it to be set that high, you'd feel serious lag no matter how high your FPS LUL

#

more likely your FPS is limited to 120

sick reef
#

That would mean it would prerender 120 frames preemptively before it renders one to the screen.

#

Imagine the input lag.

merry bay
#

Reminds me of lag right before Host Migration on CoD games. It feels like someone else is doing the inputs, really trippy

okay nvm lmao

its at 58

The FPS?

Have you removed most other background process and seen if that helps?

It might help, might not. Laptops are finnicky regardless.

stoic tree

would that make it worse tho

brisk badger
#

Buy a notebook holder or whatever they are called with some fans attached to cool it. I bet your notebook is toasty.

Also a 1050 in a notebook does not perform the same as a 1050 in a desktop. It never will. Imagine the power consumption and heat generation. What i mean to say is you cannot take notebook hardware as reference when it comes to system requirements. Even tho its the "same model" they are not in terms of performance

#

Something like this. Goes by the name "notebook cooler"

clear quartz
#

what ssd you guys recommend for a broke ass student?

vapid crypt
#

That depends, how much are you willing to spend on one?

clear quartz
#

around 40 and 50 USD

vapid crypt
#

That's fine, what capacity are you thinking of getting. Will this be for an OS boot drive or something else?

sick reef
#

Notebook cooler is absolutely a good investment. Even if the fans are ass, not keeping the laptop against something reduces the amount it heats itself up.

#

As for SSD, if you so are a broke ass student, the cheapest with most rewrites possible would probably be the best investment.

brisk badger
#

You could get like a 20-60gb SSD and use it as caching. Not as great but its, something

#

Not even sure if newer chipsets still supports, this technology

stoic tree
#

@brisk badger yeah i know it wont perform as well as a desktop would and i guess now i should get something to lift up my laptop (i have been using dictionaries to do that job GWjiangoOmegaLUL ) but this was the first a game actually started to go pretty low on frame
i guess its starting to show its limitations

vapid crypt
#

SSD caching, sure. There's stuff like that, isn't that what optane kind of does?

#

AMD has that StoreMI thing

sick reef
#

SSD caching is what SSDs do.

#

SSD Caching is when you use an SSD as dedicated cache memory.

#

Or partition of it.

brisk badger
#
SSD caching is what SSDs do.

I don't understand

What I meant with SSD caching is to have a 20-60GB SSD connected normally to the pc either through SATA or NVME but it's not visible on your OS. You have your HDD (or whatever type of disk) and all data is stored there and the SSD which is invisble for the user is used by the OS to offload temporary files and frequently used files to the SSD. That speeds up things such as booting drastically but you don't have full control over what to cache and what. Maybe there is a way of controlling I never looked deeper into

abstract kite
#

@steady solar My PC is doing well as far as I am aware. Today is restart day after about 4 days of being on.

brisk badger
#

A company I had a contract with replaced all their PC's and their new ones all contained 20-60GB Intel SSD for caching. However because the company did some sensitive stuff and they were very skeptical about that technology, I ended up taking them all out and kept them. Now I have like 30pcs of them in my cellar still xD. They were not wrong tho with the decision. If either your HDD or SSD dies, you have some big issues

#

@stoic tree A man with style 👌 I also use dictionaries but for something similar: Lift up my keyboard. My keyboard feet or how to call them long time broke after smashing my hand on the keyboard 😙

stoic tree
#

lmao

sick reef
#

What I meant is that SSDs themselves use themselves as cache when used, not as the term SSD caching, which was the second statement.

brisk badger
#

also while the game runs and is great, there is surely some optimizations to be done. It's an early access title which justifies a lack of code optimization

stoic tree
#

yeah

#

its when it load alot of enemies in big areas i guess

brisk badger
#

probably however I am not sure if all SSDs have an internal caching system. Frankly I don't know much about the technology either

stoic tree
#

im guessing all the shadows, particles, fog/mist but 30 enemies loading another room

#

asks alot from a pc lul

sick reef
#

Well, they have to have a cache, but as a cache for the software running on the computer.

brisk badger
#

probably yes and AFAIK the game itself is not really multithreaded, meaning most stuff will run on one thread

#

maybe the host has some additional overhead, i don't know

#

would make sense

sick reef
#

How the computer caches those stuff, i don't fully know either.

stoic tree
#

mhm

#

but anyways as long as it doesnt got below 30 frames for me its still playable lul

brisk badger
#

it's a game where, no matter if you have 30 or 144 fps, you still hit shit with those guns 😛

stoic tree
#

ngl i just agroed rooms and scouts on purpose to train my aim

brisk badger

RAM works as a cache, the GPU has a frame buffer which is a kind of cache, the Monitor has front buffer and/or backbuffer which is a cache, the CPU has its caches, the drives also have caches for it's purposes.
It gets confusing sometimes, as this doesn't include software caches.

I really wish pathfinding gets a tad better AND the ability to run away and hide so they lose contact but then you have rooms to clear that have been cleared previously. wrong chat I know :p

sick reef
#

If you already have aim, the revolver is hard to beat.

stoic tree
#

oh i think the pathfinding is actually pretty good the enemies seem to try to surround you

#

and the normals guys seem to wait for more to come when they are alone and there is more behinh them

brisk badger
#

RAM does not work as cache btw

#

unless you speak about SRAM which is basically L caches inside CPU's

sick reef
#

Not as an actual cache, of course. But as in a temporary storage of information.

brisk badger
#

caching basically means to save information that will be used again in the future.
RAM doesn't know that

#

your L1, L2, L3 cache in your CPU does know that in contrary

sick reef
#

Yeah. Is the SRAM the one hierarchly above the L-caches?

#

Hard to explain in the right words.

brisk badger
#

L cache is using SRAM which super fast but extremely expensive to produce. It also can save information when no power but usually only for seconds or minutes (in server environment to be used) but DRAM can't

#

i can't tell you why L1 is faster than L2, or what the reasons is with having different caches

#

if there is different quality of SRAM, if the L1 cache is located closer to the cores etc

sick reef
#

Isn't that the speeds of the L-caches, due to what size packages they transfer

brisk badger
#

that sounds logical. What is the common L1 cache size these days? In my memory I still have the number 128Kb which is sooo little, only the most frequent operations may stored in there

sick reef
#

16 32 128, I believe. L1, L2, L3.

#

Unsure really if that's right.

brisk badger
#

maybe caching in DRAM will be a thing one day. I found this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.08828.pdf and even first implementation were made in 1990 . It probably will be more expensive to produce regardless

sick reef
#

A DRAM cache in the CPU, then?

#

It reads as an interesting concept, specifically for system memory applications.

#

Or like a cache to the DRAM.

I'm already using a ssd for boot but today i realise my laptop can support upto 3 ssd

i was thinking about a WD one

vapid crypt

Alright, so you can get around 500gb ssds for that much

#

And that should be fine, WD is a fine manufacturer

clear quartz
#

yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but i thought maybe someone could have a better option

sick reef
#

Don't know if Corsair makes that cheap M.2 memory, as I assume those are the slots your laptop has free.

clear quartz
#

i got a single slot free at the moment

sick reef

But that is supposed to be the one with most longevity.

i have a 128 gb and another 500 gb already installed

What exactly should I look for specification wise when picking a monitor

finite violet
#

yeh but like

sick reef
#

Specification wise is dependant on that

finite violet
#

does the reaction time matter

#

will i actually notice a difference

sick reef
#

Ah, well, it's frame time, and not really for most applications, unless you play games that could depend on it.

finite violet
#

what's the difference between the panel types, do they matter at all

sick reef
#

WA is wider, TN is faster, IPS has more true colours.

#

Generally speaking.

#

It matters, but only if it matters to you.

finite violet
#

I found a Samsung LU28E590DS/EN which is a 4k 28"

#

It's a lot cheaper than most of the others so I'm just looking if there's something bad

clear quartz
#

this might help you make up your mind on the panel type

median moon

TN best

clear quartz

CTR best

#

I looked into it a bit, that screen, and with 35ms total lag, if you play anything requiring fast and precise movement, it will be noticeable.

#

I don't know, Wesley. Is it 4K as well?

finite violet
#

sick reef
#

Do you really want 4K?

finite violet
#

yes

#

for my 2080 ti

clear quartz
#

there are CRT with 1920x1440 @100hz monitors

sick reef
#

That would suprise me due to the limitations of DVI-D.

sick reef
#

I can't find that monitor specifically,so I know not if it's neither good nor bad.

#

ViewSonic VP3881 is apparently good.

#

Or the Dell UP2718Q

finite violet
#

hmm

sick reef
#

There are others, but those are the ones I could find easily. ASUS likely has one too.

#

Hate to say it Depr, but that monitor runs 1600x1200 in 75Hz, or 1280x1020 something in 85Hz.

#

Highest possible refresh rate is at the lowest possible resolution, and vice versa.

#

Because CRT.

#

100$ is a great deal apart from probably not as effective as anything of equal cost, and you would have to switch out the water.

#

Not because it's her bathwater because some incel already disproved that, but because it's likely just regular water, and it'll clog swifter than it should.

#

There are better purchases that can be made for those kinds of money.

I'm a semi attractive grill that's steaming. Please donate to me and make me successful.

merry bay

Now I'm curious if I could make a twitch stream watching me grilling and become successful. It'd probably work just due to the meme factor.

I don't know how long the term Simp has been around, but it gives a new perspective to The Simpsons PirateSimon

So out of curiosity originally Simp was short for Simpleton, and the current Simp definition was likely derived in the last decade but didn't become popular until late 2019. Sorry for derailing Tech talk further, let's carry on phaWesker

@vapid crypt Not 100% if I recall right. Did you mention you're rocking a 75Hz display. If so, would you say you notice a difference above 60Hz? I'm kinda biased so can't give good advice around the topic LUL

#

I imagine it to be smoother, but hardly essential. A guy is really curious if it's worth bothering above 60 without going into 120Hz+

vapid crypt
#

I do notice a difference, its just not a massive jump of course. Since its more common and doesn't add to cost it makes sense to just get since you'll see that in lower end IPS displays. I haven't really browsed around too much, but I don't think I've seen most other panels at that refresh rate, its either 60 or 100+ phaSheva

#

I have seen a 1440p monitor at 95hz, was thinking of getting that after a GPU upgrade phaWesker

merry bay
#

That's roughly the point of really diminishing returns if you're not too competitive I'd say above 90

median moon
#

155hz 1440p though

late sorrel
#

yeah it’s much nicer

merry bay
#

When playing heavier games, if it's under 90 it feels choppy. But I'm spoiled LUL

#

it's interesting that 75Hz is enough to feel more smoothness though

sick reef
#

Going from 144 back to 60 it felt really sluggish.

brisk badger
#

you could try overclocking your monitor. There is a neat tool called CRU

#

usually you 'can' squeeze extra 10hz on a 60hz monitor

abstract kite
#

You know I've only ever experienced 1080p is it honestly worth going to say 1440p?

#

With a 5700XT

brisk badger
#

yes and no. I don't really feel a massive difference, also using the 5700xt

#

I would say it's more an issue if you have a big inch monitor but 1080p

fleet canopy
#

It can be a big difference if you want a bigger monitor or have one 1080p that’s bigger than 24”

abstract kite
#

Makes sense

clear quartz
#

4k below 32 inches seems pretty useless

vapid crypt
#

Does it? I wouldn't know. I figured you just get better pixel density phaSheva

clear quartz
#

let's be honest on a 14/17 inch screen?

#

can you really enjoy that?

abstract kite
#

Yes

vapid crypt
#

I dunno, the only 4k screens that are that size are in Laptops

#

Are you assuming what I'd like, @clear quartz?

clear quartz
#

no

abstract kite
#

can you really enjoy that?
Right. SipSmug

im just reflected 4k on a 14/17 inch screen is overkill

abstract kite
#

Mhm

#

finite violet
#

32 kinda large

#

surely around 28 is just fine

vapid crypt
#

As far as monitors are concerned, the smallest 4k ones I've seen are 27". So technically that's substantial, but at the same time; its no laptop screen.

abstract kite
#

B-Baka! Don't say things like that in public!

If you're sitting right in front of it and destroying your eyes anyway

#

So if I bought a new MOBO would I also need to buy a new OS or is that stored on my HDD?

finite violet
#

hdd likely

#

you chose where to install it

vapid crypt
#

Yeah just plug in the drive and it should boot fine

#

Well I should say Windows will figure it out, cause the chipset drivers and stuff could be different

But after that it'll boot
