like the difference between a 100$ and a 500$ motherboard is just VRMs and extra fluff

the Asus TUF Gaming X570 is a decent choice

unless you are planning to mess with the power limits and the fan curve they perform almost the same

I found a very interesting box

[bleak owl]

Expensive case

[severe falcon]

wait, asus still makes TUF mobos?

i know what i want now

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon yes they do

[teal shale]

Bruh thats the one I bought

It looks good but asus is always into e p i c g a m i n g

[bleak owl]

wydm with epic gaming

[buoyant sapphire]

when you switch GPUs and motherboards, do you have to uninstall a couple drivers first before switching to the new parts?

[severe falcon]

i dont think you have to, but its probably a good idea

[bleak owl]

@buoyant sapphire ddu

if u swapped from nvidia to amd or viceversa u have to disinstall the driver and install the right one

with ddu

[buoyant sapphire]

so the driver that I use with my Nvidia GTX 1050 will be fine with an RTX?

[bleak owl]

yup

[bleak owl]

https://youtu.be/nV_h6WEVgQU *amd Is bad

[bold radish]

Whats best for my Old Galaxy S5? Stay on stock or custom rom?

[valid acorn]

I did try custom rom before, I didn't like it

It didn't lagged much (nougat) but I get constant irritation from the backlights and clicky noises

[valid acorn]

Is AMD Radeon RX5700 8GB DDR6 ok?

[bleak owl]

yes

for me is yes

It's been a while! Back in December 21, 2019, I bought a cheap $20 Dell OptiPlex 760 MT from BOOK-OFF store.

[subtle hawk]

Just recently, on January 31, I got another ThinkPad -- T430.
https://youtu.be/zc3x-HnYKmE

That laptop is a replacement for HP 15 laptop db-0011dx due to slow performance despite it's made in 2018 (due to the AMD A6 APU).

[valid acorn]

Isn't ThinkPad robust?

[subtle hawk]

Yes. Usually ThinkPads are a cult following in terms of durability.

used to

now they're just as sensitive as any laptop

[subtle hawk]

The thing about ThinkPad was about an innovative business solution since IBM days.

[subtle hawk]

was

with lenovo in charge

not so much

[subtle hawk]

At first it was IBM. Then in mid-2005, Lenovo took over with IBM Business Division.

[bleak owl]

[subtle hawk]

Water is wet

[bleak owl]

Very funny

But I didn't laf

[teal shale]

Fuck yea man got the processor

Right when they got more in stock

Hardest part to get because they sell fast

[bleak owl]

sell fast huh

[teal shale]

I mean yea

The most popular processor here at least

And they only bring like 3 at a time

Last week they told me by mid february they would have more

I GUESS NOT

[bleak owl]

That processor is popular everywhere

Bless amazon they restock fast

[teal shale]

Imma touch the pins ill be right back with the results

[austere jewel]

Which R5 ?

[teal shale]

3600

[austere jewel]

Nice

[teal shale]

I was talking to the cashier asking him about the part, he told me they only had Ryzen 9s and I was like “well shit time to check again next week”

[austere jewel]

New build or upgrade ?

[teal shale]

New build

But then some other employee that knew who I was and what I was looking for came by and just bopped the box in front of me

[subtle hawk]

Please do not actually touch the pins

[teal shale]

observe

[austere jewel]

Bend the pins

[teal shale]

That employee is a lifesaver

Because the parts just got in and werent in the system

If it wasnt for him I would have gone back home emptyhanded

[austere jewel]

How much did it cost ?

[teal shale]

120000₡

Which about 200$ kinda

Maybe a little bit more

Fairly cheap considering where I live so im fine

[austere jewel]

Yea prices dont change a lot between generations

I got my R5 2600 for the same price before

[subtle hawk]

Mocking up the AMD's slogan because of the crappy AMD A6 APU from an HP laptop from 2018.

[valid acorn]

Wasn't the A10 that's crap?

[bleak owl]

Meanwhile amd is a beast in cpu and gpu producer

[compact cloud]

fucking Google why
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/536671634334023715/674114105090768916/unknown.png

[subtle hawk]

beast GPU producer
AMD

[subtle hawk]

for price to value ratio? maybe

570/80 >> 1060 6 gb

but yeah no the 5700 xt ain’t winning shit against the 20 or 30xx series cards

[subtle hawk]

the best value cards are still nvidia mostly

some RXes here and there too

[bleak owl]

What u smooking?

Well the rx5700 is supposed to be in mid tier,wait for the rx5850 then we will see

[subtle hawk]

supposed

it's not a competitive card

considering that nvidia usually has better drivers

[bleak owl]

Better drivers

ngl but in both part driver suck

[subtle hawk]

I've only heard complaints from radeon drivers

[bleak owl]

They fixed it

[subtle hawk]

"fixed" it

[bleak owl]

With the lastest driver update

[subtle hawk]

I'll believe that when I see it

[bleak owl]

ok

[severe falcon]

"both part driver suck" you seem to forget when AMD had to release new drivers for every single card they had when just cause 3 came out

[bleak owl]

[severe falcon]

yeah the top of the line cards got about 20 fps when it came out

i was running crossfire and they got about 3

[severe falcon]

@subtle hawk yo wtf is .Net, the internet has completely confused me

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon wdym

[severe falcon]

like im looking for jobs and they want a .Net developer but its using C#, i know C# so what is .Net?

like ive heard of it a million times, but it kinda sounds like a fancy compiler more than anything

like how is that different from me running python from the command prompt?

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon it's similar but not rlly

basically if you take javascript for example

C# is ECMAScript (the standard)
Common Language Runtime is Node.JS (the runtime)
.NET Framework is the JavaScript itself (the application framework library)

basically when someone says .NET the might infer C# and other langs that can use the .NET framework

such as Visual C, C/C++, Visual Basic

[severe falcon]

so since ive done C, C++, and C#, do i know .Net? or would i have to specifically use it?

[subtle hawk]

but when someone refers to C# they most likely mean the most used implementation of it which is the MS .NET one

technically you do

but there's some very minor details and nuances that you'll understand with experience

[severe falcon]

ok

[subtle hawk]

speaking of .NET @severe falcon

I need to make a ASP .NET MVC webapp for uni

needs to connect to a DB to perform insert, update, delete tasks as well as have user permission system

sitting here being all

so wtf should I make that's simple and low effort

[obtuse dawn]

hehehe, I'm being evil...

I'm calling out my cybersecurity professor in my homework for not changing the default root/toor credentials on his Kali VM the entire semester

[severe falcon]

@subtle hawk uhhh ive done something similar using node.js on an AWS server doing all that stuff to a mysql database

it wasnt very secure tho cuz we didnt buy the load balancer for HTTPS

also im currently messing with PIL on python and its image kernel system is all sorts of messed up

[subtle hawk]

well I need the full stack

make the website

as well as the API

and the DB

[severe falcon]

thats what we did, cuz it was for a social media website

we started with a blank notepad page

but in reality, we shouldve just used firebase cuz its 10x easier

well does the website have to look pretty?

ALSO is ASP like node.js?

[subtle hawk]

it's more like django

[severe falcon]

can you send html to the client with it?

[subtle hawk]

or RoR

ye

doe it's not normal HTML

it's CSHTML

[severe falcon]

hmm

cuz thats how ours worked, we just sent it html and javascript based on what the user clicked

[subtle hawk]

I need to build that

but 0 ideas what to build

like literally 0

[severe falcon]

ok so where are you stuck, like the design of the webpage?

[subtle hawk]

the project itself

design I can whip up with some bootstrap

[severe falcon]

i mean i have no experience with ASP, but i would start with just getting it to mess with a dummy DB

[subtle hawk]

nah nah nah

have to start from frontend

[severe falcon]

oh

[subtle hawk]

then use that frontend with the backend

DB comes in last

for user auth and state storage

[severe falcon]

oh so you need to get the webpage and ASP communicating first?

[subtle hawk]

I know how to do that

but idfk what to build with it

since if it was just user login and insert, update, delete then I could make a to-do app

but naaaaaah it also has to have user permissions

so at least 2 types of users

[severe falcon]

wait so, you mean you have the freedom to do whatever, as long as it uses ASP messing with a DB?

[subtle hawk]

ye

[severe falcon]

i see now

so you need 2 types of users, with diff permissions? what else?

[subtle hawk]

IUD

the usual

insert smth

update on request

and delete if needed

[severe falcon]

do both users need to do all of thsoe?

[subtle hawk]

not rlly?

the 2 user types must be doing at least smth

and it has to be different

[severe falcon]

well maybe have 1 type be able to only update, and have the other type be able to do all 3?

call the first type "intern-kun" and call the second "leona", and then have intern-kun have to ask leona to do all the important stuff because he doesnt have permission (and is also too busy on discord)

also ill be gone for like 20 mins, but then i can help after

[subtle hawk]

[severe falcon]

am back

@subtle hawk

[subtle hawk]

hi back

I'm dad

[severe falcon]

y-you finally returned from the milk run sobs

anyway

thats how i would structure it

the first user is trusted enough to update, but the 2nd user is the one that can create and delete

[subtle hawk]

sounds like a plan

[severe falcon]

inb4 actually names the user variables "intern" and "leona"

[subtle hawk]

should be able to bullshit my way out of that

[severe falcon]

yeah, my entire capstone project was the BS social media site

i would show you, but its been killed

i could show you the travel website i made in the class before tho

it was actually better

[subtle hawk]

minimal effort to make uni projects

bcz the projects are shit

[severe falcon]

https://travel-16d0f.firebaseapp.com/travelsite.html

some of the image links died tho

but i did the entire frontend HTML, CSS, and Javascript, which i learned on my own that semester

[subtle hawk]

gonna use bootstrap and jquery

not gonna fuss around with making my own shit

[severe falcon]

yeah

[subtle hawk]

only the backend

[severe falcon]

tbh i copy pasted half the code from that one to the capstone one

but it still amazes me that no one has created a way to get the actual physical size of a display on a webapp

[subtle hawk]

security

[severe falcon]

yeah but still, that would be the most useful thing for desktop and mobile support

ALSO about the PIL kernel thing, it works with greyscale images, but not with color images

so im having to write my own dynamic kernel class

[teal shale]

So tomorrow Threadripper 3990X releases

Another bruh moment for Intel incoming

[violet nexus]

Why do i feel like IOS-XR is a bit easier to configure rather than normal cisco routers

They still dont have a 2060 super tho F

[subtle hawk]

what is this brand

oh adata controllers

pretty solid

heh solid

[bleak owl]

[subtle hawk]

that pun was bad and you should feel bad

[quartz atlas]

Not as bad as enders

At least

This one is organic

[severe falcon]

@subtle hawk

default gateway not available
adapter reset does nothing
tracert to google gets stuck and wont even time out
Advice pl0x

[subtle hawk]

manually add the configuration?

or u kno

check the DHCP server

[severe falcon]

No like i was using it fine and then it did this

[subtle hawk]

a.k.a the router

[severe falcon]

Cant access it

But i dont think its the router, cuz usually tracert will just fail instantly

[subtle hawk]

it could be the router

the some service shat the bed

and now you have no connection

[severe falcon]

Even if i could get into the network room, i have no idea which glowy expensive box is the router

[subtle hawk]

could be that you need a static IP config

[severe falcon]

Heres the thing tho, i thought it got its ipv4 address from the router. So why does ipconfig still show one?

[subtle hawk]

that's not a valid one

it's set by windows for dummy linking

[severe falcon]

It appears to have fixed itself

[subtle hawk]

could be slow ass router

[severe falcon]

Well its a big company

And that might also be the reason why im getting 60 mbps out of whats supposed to be gigabit

[subtle hawk]

inb4 router is

[severe falcon]

Man i wish there were regulations on minimum vs advertised speed

[lunar patrol]

got my first ultrawide today and it's blessed

[bleak owl]

Nice keyboard

And nice figure

[subtle hawk]

this guy peripherals

split ergodox + kensington trackball, pretty solid setup

pretty curious on what that case is, never seen a small form factor pc like that before

[lunar patrol]

the keyboard is an orthodox the best (imo) 40% split keyboard

the case is the new(ish) velka 5

5.7L the smallest sff case that still supports full-length 2-slot GPUs

absolute pain in the ass to build in, even compared to other sandwich sff cases like the dan a4 and ghost s1

[teal shale]

Bruh your keyboard has some moon runes

Looks epic ngl

[lunar patrol]

/dev/tty keycap set with elvish alphas

I am sure as hell hoping someone will make a neat GBA SP emulator for the Galaxy Z Flip

@unkempt oxide The Z Flip can fold halfway

When folded it even looks like a GBA SP

[unkempt oxide]

Doesent it uses android ?

@unkempt oxide I did say emulator didn't I

is that glass directly in front of the fans that need air?

[subtle hawk]

it has side vents

[severe falcon]

i always question if that restricts airflow or not

cuz can they really pull that much air pressure

[subtle hawk]

even if they did

there's only so much that it can benefit from

[severe falcon]

cuz i dont like my comp where 4 fans have to pull through a small mesh on the bottom

i want like jetstream airflow

[subtle hawk]

then go buy a jet engine or smth

I have all vents filtered

makes it a breeze to clean the insides

[severe falcon]

yeah mine are filtered

but i took the top mesh off so heat can escape

also so i can check if the fans are actually working

cuz i was running it with half the fans not working for like months

BUYING AN RTX 2080 SUPER WASN'T A WASTE OF MONEY AFTER ALL HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

[subtle hawk]

I mean

it was gonna happen eventually

[vagrant holly]

ye, optix was already a thing before it was implemented into blender but you had to pay for it

[teal shale]

Would be good if I did 3d stuff

[severe falcon]

3d stuff is pain

also i like how unity paid a guy to do a sponsored video on a package that unity themselves do not support

[teal shale]

basic translation: The 2060 Super you asked for is in stock here if you are still interested

Fuck yea man Build is finished

Now I need to assemble it

Now I can finally play Crosswave in 1080p Ultra 160fps RTX On

[vagrant holly]

you don't meed that much power for crosswave of all things

or at least you shouldn't

it's a giant flat plane of water and a few character models+ some rudimentary ships and occasional islands + particle effects

and it's on unreal

how hard could it be to render?

[teal shale]

I know im just saying

That it would be ironic for the first game I play on this pc would be Crosswave

[bleak owl]

Man

It can't be a build if u don't finish assembly

[flint bobcat]

Crosswave's graphics are hella old, so even a weak gpu can run it

[teal shale]

Ik but

Just

Bear with my comedi

[flint bobcat]

[severe falcon]

@flint bobcat they arent old, its just that they are made for consoles

[flint bobcat]

I mean, it's PS4, so it is able to run more stronger graphics

[severe falcon]

yeah the PS4 is 5 almost 6 years old

[flint bobcat]

Even Read dead redemption, which is graphics heavy can run on PS4

[severe falcon]

no, you THINK its graphics heavy

the stuff in crosswave is very much modern level graphics

like the water has physical reflections

its how we know what color nagato's panties are

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon bitch u take that back

the PS4 has some stunning graphics

[severe falcon]

im not saying its bad

im just saying that console graphics are not nearly as intensive as most PC games, and thats why even potatos can run crosswave

[subtle hawk]

yeah no

that's no longer the case

this ain't the PS3/360 era

[severe falcon]

so youre telling me the PS4 can keep up with any PC game at 60 fps?

[subtle hawk]

not any

but most that have been released on both yeah

can do 60 fps quite fine

[severe falcon]

see thats the thing, released on both

that implies that they made it TO run on both

[subtle hawk]

yeah well go run smth pc exclusive on the ps4 or vice versa

then we'll talk

[severe falcon]

true

the batman port did exist

[subtle hawk]

and you're brining one of the most horrible ports to pc

gg

[severe falcon]

yeah

i mean there are definitely cases

[subtle hawk]

pc is only good for gaming in the sense that you can do more than gaming on them

and u can use the precision of kb&m

as for most casual gamers a console is plenty

[severe falcon]

now why havent they made a console where you can plug in a keyboard and mouse

like all of them have USBs

[subtle hawk]

nowadays you can do that

but not in games

[severe falcon]

yeah but why

[subtle hawk]

would give you unfair advantage

[severe falcon]

and custom controllers arent?

like unfair advantages are always present

[subtle hawk]

that's like saying mechanical keyboards are

[severe falcon]

yeah but if my cheap mouse only gets 1000dpi, while your $90 mouse gets 4000, is that not an unfair advantage?

[subtle hawk]

no

[severe falcon]

its not?

really?

the ability to flick faster is not an advantage?

and what about TVs?

[subtle hawk]

do you really think there's such trihards on console?

most of them play on whatever TV they have

with the included controller

even pros play on TV and a most sturdy controller so it lasts longer

[severe falcon]

yeah but im saying what about the size of tvs

[subtle hawk]

the fuck does that have to do with anything

it's the same resolution

[severe falcon]

except at a larger size

so the details are univserally bigger on the larger TV

[subtle hawk]

and?

[severe falcon]

and thats not an unfair advantage?

[subtle hawk]

console players don't "flick"

it's not

[severe falcon]

so literally everything that PC players use to get an edge in FPS games is somehow not gonna affect console players in any way?

[subtle hawk]

because PC games do go down the the ms

and even those are only the competitive FPSes

[severe falcon]

so basically since consoles will never be competitive, its ok to have these different things?

[subtle hawk]

they're competitive but their difference are minimal

where as on PC the change in GPU, CPU, RAM, etc makes a ton of difference

[bleak owl]

the water on crosswave is shit

i got a Epileptic Disorders just watching the water

[teal shale]

Thats not very RTX of you heh

[bleak owl]

Wut?

[teal shale]

Theres goes the case and the graphics card

And now im completely out of money

[teal shale]

Now probably the hardest part to get

A Display port cable capable of doing 144hz

but tbh i dont even know how display port cables work sooo

[subtle hawk]

@teal shale just get any decent-ish DP cable

and they'll be enough

[teal shale]

The thing is

[subtle hawk]

the one included in the box should do

[teal shale]

Do they ALWAYS AND REALLY ALWAYS

Support 144hz

[subtle hawk]

usually

some cheapo ones don't

you have no idea how frustrating it is to find

it's even worse with HDMI

[teal shale]

I got one

But kinda got ripped off

But the other options were a weird chinese company

And wish sooo

Bruh

[subtle hawk]

no Amazon or local store?

[teal shale]

None

[subtle hawk]

I mean my local electronics store had some

[teal shale]

Oh wait

[subtle hawk]

they wanted to get me to buy the 5 meter one when I needed the 3 meter one

[teal shale]

Yea from a local store

But its a weird one

[subtle hawk]

wdym weird

it either works or it doesn't

[teal shale]

the store is weird

The cable is fine its from a normal company

And now we play the waiting game

Tomorrow maybe they will call me if they finished building the PC

[bleak owl]

Build it by yourself lol

[teal shale]

Bruh I wont carry all those parts myself

If I can barely carry the PSU, Motherboard, CPU, RAM and SSD

With the PSU on hand and the rest on my backpack

How tf would I carry a big fucking case

Ill leave it with the pros they build almost every gaming PC in the country and thats just a mild exaggeration

[subtle hawk]

I carried somehow 3 monitors across the city

20 km

on foot

[teal shale]

Yea but im in a

not so safe location

I COULD walk and carry the case if they gave me an extra bag

But im an ez target to anyone tbh

[severe falcon]

Bruh why not open the case and put the stuff in it

[teal shale]

Uh

I didnt think about that one

Well it has tempered glass it could break

If I put those heavy boxes in there

Anyways doesnt matter

They are making it

Tomorrow they will call me to pick it up

[subtle hawk]

I bought an MX Master 3 for work, nicest mouse I ever used

What did you get?

[teal shale]

Missed opportunty to call it RTX 2077

Btw I just saw that my PSU has this type of thingy (dunno the name in english)

[severe falcon]

thats literally asking to be sued

[teal shale]

The thing is I dont have that type in my house

[severe falcon]

oh wait its the sponsored one lol

[teal shale]

Bruh now I need to buy an adapter

Or change the ports

[subtle hawk]

@teal shale that's a EU plug

[teal shale]

Oh its called a plug right

Thanks mate

still need to buy an adapter bruh

Hope I can get one before I get the PC

[bleak owl]

I have the g900 from logitech

Nothing special just a wireless mouse

[valid acorn]

The only that makes a gaming mouse expensive is the amount of clicks you can click before it breaks

[bleak owl]

I thought it was the rgb and the dpi

[valid acorn]

dpi?

I thought it has no difference

rgb is for showing off

[teal shale]

Soon

[severe falcon]

Dpi is a major difference

A cheap lil mouse gets like 700 or something, meanwhile the "gaming" mice can get 2000 easy

[quartz atlas]

i think you're messing up your numbers there

700 is slow as fuck

my mouse can do 16k

my default dpi is 5500

[teal shale]

translation: PC is ready to pick up

Fuck yea man

Time to somehow carry that pc to my house in a taxi

[austere jewel]

Specs ?

[severe falcon]

@quartz atlas my numbers are from a few years ago, and yes a non-gaming mouse will be slow af. the cheapo dell ones only get 1000

[quartz atlas]

i mean, i've used regular mouse, they sure as hell arent slow

omg, reg mse avg about 1000

how

[subtle hawk]

5500 DPI

I run 950 DPI

and it still feels fast

https://yamato.azur-lane.moe/media/frofb.png

[quartz atlas]

[subtle hawk]

and in windows I barely have the sensitivity up

[quartz atlas]

so this isnt all the way up?

[subtle hawk]

nope

[quartz atlas]

i just tried 900 dpi

and i have to move my hand so much to move it across the screen

[subtle hawk]

well ye

[vagrant holly]

if you mostly use your wrist to move your mouse (which is unhealthy and could give you carpal tunnel) you might need a higher dpi, using your whole arm however, you're not gonna need as much dpi

[teal shale]

Its here

Thanks everyone who helped choosing the parts that would go well with it

Btw just set it to 144hz and holy shit the difference is insane

5500 dpi wtf

I'm using 800 dpi

Like 5500 wtf

@teal shale np

[severe falcon]

1000 is pretty good for me

my old mouse had a switch that did 1000, 1700, and 2000, which was pretty good when i needed to S P I N

I like barely having to move my hand I guess

[valid acorn]

^ really sensitive mouse

[subtle hawk]

mouse

[bleak owl]

Like how do you aim with 5500 dpi

[quartz atlas]

how do you not

[subtle hawk]

when I play FPSes I sometimes go to 400 DPI

depends on the game doe

[maiden plume]

Higher DPI on FPS games is not about aiming. Its about flick shot/no scopes. If you have time to aim then your opponents are doing something wrong.

Less physical movement, less margin of error, its mostly muscle memory anyways

[subtle hawk]

I flick with my hand

not wrist

[bleak owl]

[subtle hawk]

it's easier to do it with the whole hand

since you can put more force into it

then again you need a big desk

[severe falcon]

large flicks = entire arm moves mouse
precision flicks = thumb and ring finger move mouse

someone rec me a psu for this

[flint bobcat]

@quartz atlas https://www.gamingscan.com/psu-hierarchy/

[quartz atlas]

thanks

[maiden plume]

You could just buy a evga g2 850w for future upgrades/sli etc. Their warranty is good too 5-10yrs IIRC

[quartz atlas]

psus confuse me

imma just wait for amphere

fuck the current noise

@subtle hawk do you have hope for intel's upcoming desktop cpus?

[maiden plume]

Tl:DR don’t cheap out on PSU’s
Also the only answer intel has atm is price cuts and pure gaming performance. Which is good. Should force them to innovate and would benefit consumers. As I’m me im more excited about Nvdia gen 3 vs big navi IIRC.

[quartz atlas]

i have no faith in amd's gpu space at all, im more excited for intel's gpu honestly

$amd is overhyped and overvalued imma buy puts on it

[subtle hawk]

u mean gpus

[quartz atlas]

yes, gpus

[subtle hawk]

ye they gon b 🔥

[maiden plume]

Inc space heater jokes

[subtle hawk]

amd is space heater

[quartz atlas]

$amd current valuation puts them at $70b compared with Intel's $280b, thats fucked considering intel literally has 10times the revenue of amd in 2019, while operating on a much higher profit margin.

for gpu, my guess is that next gen amd will be able to match 20series performance, and that amphere will leave them in the dust.

[maiden plume]

Just means that Intel has more time to twiddle its thumbs. Sad but true

[quartz atlas]

nvda killer my arse

[subtle hawk]

I mean

the high end Xes might cuck nvidia

in the datacenter

[maiden plume]

Big navi was sadly anti 2080ti, its gonna be overshadowed by big greens 3*** line up.

[quartz atlas]

i mean intel has been making increased earnings and profits despite all the market share claw backs from AMD, theres just no way amd will win in the long term

ye data centers are where the money's at

[subtle hawk]

I predict Intel coming back stronk

[maiden plume]

They do have the moolah

[quartz atlas]

but imo amphere should deliver much more value for data centers due to 7nm efficiencies, run cooler and less power draw. also, nvda has the cash to literally price cut anyth amd can offer in that space if they want to, just like intel.

[subtle hawk]

they don't have to

[maiden plume]

They dont have to though

[subtle hawk]

bcz they always have the upper hand

don't forget

intel also has optane

[quartz atlas]

ye, its just an option thats avail for them if things go badly, but i strongly doubt so.

also, i dont think intel gpus will be able to raytrace efficiently

i just dont see them developing that fast

traditional performance sure

[maiden plume]

Nice time to build a pc. Just hoping asus would come up with a Rog Matx 😦

[subtle hawk]

live raytracing is a fad anyway

[quartz atlas]

im holding out for amphere and next gen intel gpu's

might be more perf/$

[subtle hawk]

I have both the 10 and 2080 Tis

I'm good

[maiden plume]

Im still on 2014 hardware. Still salty Nvdia killed voltage tweaks on vbios.

[quartz atlas]

currently it might be, but with both next gen consoles supporting raytracing, it would not be far off to assume most AAA titles from this year on will include raytracing in some form.

im running 4th gen i7mobile

and gtx980m

imma tryna build a desktop sometime this year.

[maiden plume]

Im on i7-3940xm on mobile and 4820k @4.8 on pc xD

Want to build but dont need too atm.

[quartz atlas]

my monitor will literally be the most expensive component

[maiden plume]

2012 laptop 2014 pc

Monitors are investments though

[quartz atlas]

and i'll be going for hardline water cooling, for my first build

im ready to die

ye, monitors are easy to future proof

[maiden plume]

So its not a bad choice. Its like investing in camera lenses not bodies

Btw did anybody recently buy Metro Exodus on steam? Also did you guys see that Starcraft Ghost “leak” lol!

[quartz atlas]

is this in USD wtf

[maiden plume]

Shouldn’t that be at 1.2-1.4k?

[subtle hawk]

I pirated it

bcz fuck epic

[maiden plume]

Same but its out now on steam. Finished it but bought it again xD

Gonna ranger hardcore. It runs smoother than the pirated one though.

[quartz atlas]

its 4k local

[maiden plume]

@.@

[quartz atlas]

these are the gsync ultimate monitors.

fuck are they expensive

[maiden plume]

Gsync alone adds like 150-200USD

[flint bobcat]

can you even afford that

also what refresh rate is that

[maiden plume]

I feel that 1440p is still where its at atm

[subtle hawk]

I'm on 1080p

then again I'm on a quad monitor setup

[maiden plume]

Shouldnt that be 7680x1080?

[subtle hawk]

they're not set up in surround

[maiden plume]

Hope you’re not on anything above 22-23” or you might be counting pixels

[subtle hawk]

all are 24"

or was it 27

[quartz atlas]

200 @flint bobcat

[maiden plume]

B r u h moment

[quartz atlas]

and ye its 1440p

@flint bobcat i can but i dont want to

it doesnt make any sense at all

[maiden plume]

Wait what 4k for a 1440p?

[quartz atlas]

4k sgd

lots of taxes here

[maiden plume]

Oh, i was thinking “just slap a predator logo on it” lol

[quartz atlas]

@flint bobcat u rmb since that time i lamented about losing a few thousand from trying to save a share transfer fee of $150?

i was so angry with myself that i took a small sum out and bought some options

and im up 500% so far

so im getting a nice tidy budget for my build

the irony is that im making mad tendies off nvda calls
