From what I can see, those other methods are using retroarch to do dosbox.

DSx86 and 3dsx86 weren't

#

what would be the easiest way to get the os kernel to do something stupid? i kind of want to try breaking an os in a vm for lulz

misty sparrow
#

what do you mean something stupid

#

like completely break it?

tranquil pebble
#

I mean like inject a division by zero into it

misty sparrow
#

no idea

#

there’s a virus out there you can run in a VM that does a similar thing

tranquil pebble
#

hm maybe a debugger can do something like that lol

misty sparrow
#

MEMZ (pronounced: memes) is a malware computer virus in the form of a trojan horse made for Microsoft Windows. The name of the virus refers to its purpose as a humorous virus intended to replicate the effects of early computer viruses.

#

Wow the 4070 Ti Super seems kinda like

#

Well

#

A turd

#

And I was hyped for it

elfin mural
#

it's not a 4080 so

#

it is faster than 7900xt tho

#

again, it's the "should've been" edition

#

in rt it's.. about equal to radeon offering

devout forum
elfin mural
#

99%?

devout forum
#

at least here

elfin mural
#

in your case it is

devout forum
#

Yes it costs like the same as a 7900 XTX

#

for me at least

elfin mural
#

then that's fair

devout forum
#

which was not what I expected

elfin mural
#

you did talk about how your market works before

#

sadgeness

devout forum
#

it's either marked up crazy (even disregarding tax)

Or idk

#

seemingly nobody cares about those cards here anyway

elfin mural
#

it's markup

#

20%+800 ain't 1k

#

or above

#

cards at such high prices aren't really looked at anyway

#

especially marked up to heck

devout forum
#

but even then

elfin mural
#

yeah

devout forum
#

actually

#

25% of 800 is 200 right?

elfin mural
#

hm right

#

welp it seems about right then

devout forum
#

Then it checks out

#

Sapphire RX 7900 XT Pulse is currently 1062 USD

#

Hellhound 7900 XTX is 1209 USD

elfin mural
#

oof

devout forum
#

4070 Ti Panther is 896 USD

#

the non-Super that is

elfin mural
#

pain

#

very much unlike us market

#

where 4070ti drops in price

devout forum
#

4070 Ti pricing has been consistently bad

#

sadly the Asrock 7900 XT is oos everywhere

#

that card went for 920

#

so it directly competed with the 4070 Ti in price while being much faster

devout forum
elfin mural
#

it is

#

minus in rt

#

but for the price it goes for in your area

#

not worth the trouble

devout forum
#

I mean

#

it wasn't exactly a mainstream store

#

It is possible that in larger stores like Alza or Ipon it might be slightly cheaper

#

but apparently even in the US pretty much every non-FE is above MSRP

#

which is bad news for us where taxes are calced for each card based on the actual unit price, not the MSRP

elfin mural
#

the thing us market lacks however

#

is the chinese aibs

#

inno3d, colorful, etc

devout forum
#

I mean sure, but those tend to be of dubious build quality

#

inno3d is the best one of them yet but even their cards are lesser to something like an MSI, Asrock or Asus

elfin mural
#

they follow reference at least

#

like msi at absolute min these days

#

reference ≠ fe cuz fe is actually great

#

but it means "works ok"

devout forum
#

I suppose

#

I guess it's just disappointing to see the 4070 Ti Super be so overpriced

#

that being said

#

the 4080 Super could still be good if it's priced the same as the XTX

elfin mural
#

imo 4070 ti super should be 700 msrp

devout forum
#

But I don't have much hope for that by now

misty sparrow
#

I wonder if the prices for the amd 7000 series cards are solid

#

heard about 7900xtx being stupidly high in price

devout forum
#

it's really not

devout forum
misty sparrow
#

why is the vat 27%

#

4090 pricing for us in a nutshell:

misty sparrow
#

To be fair Hungary is the same country where it can’t even eat food hence the name

#

I don’t know what they were thinking

sour falcon
#

Yippie

sinful blade
hushed bolt
#

How much does the 4090 sell for? And is it that good?

mortal grail
#

a lott

#

and not for the inflated prices no

#

for 1600 it's not too bad

sinful blade
#

Wait a month or two for the new cards and then it’ll drop

mortal grail
#

yo windows dynamic lighting is awesome

#

it's all through one app now

#

CPU usage between 0.1% and 0.3%

#

meh, early days, this will get better

#

it's not quite openrgb levels yet

#

could also be me updating

elfin mural
#

i wanna see the day laptops get supported

mortal grail
#

yeah now that I finished updating

#

0

#

0%

#

excellent stuff windows

#

truly the day finally here where we can cross play different rgb is a service looonnnggg needed to be standardised

#

and rest in peace all other alternatives

elfin mural
#

no more headaches

#

ms requiring 16gb ram for oem machines running w11 i think is both good and kinda bad

#

but then again

#

a single stick of 16gb ddr5 is completely fine

mortal grail
#

this is crazy

#

full rgb control

#

like as if it was all made by the same company

#

not talking like basic colours

#

talking individual LED's m8

#

wildin

north crescent
wind quail
#

Single stick of 16gb ddr is better than single of ddr4 but not completely fine

mortal grail
#

Single stick is nice because you can take that and stick in another similar one

wind quail
#

Yeah better for upgradability but definitely with the aim to upgrade to another stick soon

mortal grail
#

Thing that bugs me with it is sodimms are like almost always freaking micron

#

Micron can eat my butt

#

oh ok

#

slight caveat to windows dynamic rgb

#

restarting doesn't carry over settings yet

elfin mural
#

mine is samsung

mortal grail
#

my first one was hynix

#

but every other consequtive one was micron

elfin mural
#

also imo i prefer dual rank 1x16 rather than two half rank 8gb

#

upgradability wise for laptops

#

it's better

#

and coz thailand has no sodimm kits, only bloody single stick

wind quail
#

Yeah 1x16gb is better but still not as good as 2x16

elfin mural
#

ofc

#

double capacity and bandwidth

mortal grail
#

excellent

#

new nvidia driver completely crashed on install so gotta ddu now

#

that's the second one in a row

wind quail
#

Lmfao

wind quail
mortal grail
#

the last driver did the exact same thing

#

My screen is stuck at like a variance between 5fps up to like 100+ fps

#

with horrible stuttering and the installer stuck

#

and then you try to stop the installer and it be all "The nvidia installer can't be stopped at this time"

#

"wat r u doing"

#

IT HASN'T MOVED FOR 20 MINUTES

#

and people ask me why I prefer AMD so much nowadays

#

It's refusing to restart now

#

oh it just blue screen

#

driver_power_state_failure

#

kekw

#

thanks nvidia

wind quail
#

Haven't had that issue with any drivers yet

mortal grail
#

I'm doing ddu rn

wind quail
#

Yeah but on reinstall use clean install

mortal grail
#

does nothing but ok

#

I could be wrong

wind quail
#

It's a little more stable ime

#

Had some weird bug where discord would crash due to driver had to ddu, clean install and reinstall discord for it to work

mortal grail
#

ok set up again

#

annoying af but it's fine now I think

#

takes me like, 5-10 minutes just to cycle the settings every time

#

since I opt in and out of certain displays

#

depending on my use case

#

what in the world...

mortal grail
#

wtf it costs twice that of an 8tb

weak cedar
#

For 61 tb?

mortal grail
#

8tb drives hover between 1 and 2 grand iirc

#

for m.2

weak cedar
#

O ok ya I was backwards

#

0.06 pre gigabyte

#

😭 if only I could fit it in my pc

#

Apparently in the article someone added it to there steam deck

elfin mural
#

i posted that a while back ree

#

you can't add that to a steam deck tho lol

#

the pcb is obviously not m.2

mortal grail
#

it's u.2 but even still

elfin mural
#

ya

#

bonkers value tho

#

only twice of 8tb drives for 61tb

devout forum
#

They made 100tb 3.5" SSDs like 3 years ago

crazy stuff yo

look at these specs for a moment, you know these drivers are choking the hardware, once those drivers are fully completed its a wrap

its crazy how they went from the weak DG1 prototype to this

see like if I were a Reddit user I would probably be like "why would you even ask this? do you even have any idea as to how long game development works?" and continue to ramble about this topic and downvote you after I send my comment

but nah the real answer I would give is "probably lol"

iirc you can make the palworld dedicated server reach up to 100 players...

probably need a xeon or TR

I used to run a 25 player minecraft server on my 2nd gen dual core laptop with 8gb ram... while also playing the game on the same hardware

#

nobody had lag issues somehow

rancid juniper
#

could've sworn it was 100

#

but 32 people is still alot

young matrix
#

Hi

empty tide
grand kernel
#

if I really wanted to I could use a 3700x or 11800H as a server too

rancid juniper
grand kernel
#

each with 32gb ram

#

surely that's enough to handle 32 players right

young matrix
#

My friend has that same knife lmao

#

Idk wether to say lucky or not because its safari mesh

grand kernel
#

or I could use the 13700k as the server and then play from my laptop lmao

grand kernel
#

I'm pretty sure the 3700x or 11800H could handle being a server for 32 people though

rancid juniper
#

i wonder how wild this can get when steam workshop gets implemented

grand kernel
#

considering it recommends an unspecified quad core and 8gb ram

young matrix
#

W

grand kernel
#

wonder if my 1500x could handle 32 people

#

it's certainly stronger than what I used to run my 25 player minecraft server

young matrix
#

Lmao

grand kernel
#

I think my server was only allowed to use 1gb ram

#

and it was ddr3-1333 jedec

rancid juniper
#

27 player server ^

grand kernel
#

wonder what hardware it's running

rancid juniper
grand kernel
#

they're probably running a ton of them off of the same server rack then

#

split off an epyc

#

into like 16 servers

rancid juniper
#

indeed, however its laggy

#

not on my end

#

but the players

#

well the game is big so the servers are overloaded 24/7 ig

#

curious to see how much a 6/8 core cpu can handle a server without lagging

grand kernel
#

poor small indie company can't handle the traffic

rancid juniper
#

😂

grand kernel
#

well they recommend 4 cores

rancid juniper
#

4 cores for like 2 people maybe

I thought most out of the blue games usually launch around 15usd

there is nothing that shows copyright infringement

#

however there was a pokemon mod that got taken down IMMEDIATELY

empty tide
#

I mean it doesn't matter because I already got it and have fun with it

rancid juniper
#

but thats because
-the modder wanted to make a quick buck
-the mod is using the pokemon name + models

empty tide
#

But I'm worried that Nintendo won't just let this runaway success go

rancid juniper
#

na

#

lets be real

#

if it did copy pokemon that thing wouldve been long gone

#

like in 2 days

#

nintendo lawyers don't play around

#

they act fast

pliant berry

ooor maybe it's nintendo has a deal internally and they get a small portion of the sales money deviousfroge

rancid juniper

Well question, is the rumor that models in the game are very close to Pokémon's models true?

look at some of the games that were popular last year. some coming from no name devs, but that's because risk isn't really a factor to them

#

Why do you think that so many games (especially ones from Japan) are so successful, because they ignore most people's bad complaints

ancient swift
#

It's legit cause they don't like change.

rancid juniper
#

Funny since devs want to know what to do to improve the game and yet the community does the bare minimum of just complaining 7 days of the week

ancient swift
#

Like people are upset because 343 isn't going to be doing anymore seasons on halo infinite after hating on it the entire time lol

rancid juniper
#

It's a do or die thing

#

For big companies, man that will leave a hole in their pocket huh?

pliant berry
#

feedback is good, but at a certain point they have to make the ultimate decision knowing very well that the people don't always know what they want

ancient swift
#

People were upset that EA/Dice stopped working on BF2 after spending millions of dollars with no returns because monetization was removed and they were giving the game away on every platform

dusk knot
#

status report number 2: 1042 hours on my monitor. no signs of burn in...

ancient swift
#

BF2 was great and I wish they could have continued work on it.

But there was legitimately no money from the game. And if they added dlc people would have hated it

this feels stupid

No Mans Sky is a wild story cause they also had no monetization. Guess they were getting enough new users.

With the recent news of Ubisoft taking the Crew 1 down, people are very angry that this "online only" game can actually be turned offline but Ubisoft won't do it

why would companies not spend more money developing cheaper laptops rather than making visually appealing devices

Wonder how much Microsoft paid them for being on game pass and if that helped them out.

but long term

rancid juniper
#

Too bad to the customer

pliant berry
#

I think my laptop can hang in there a while longer but my desktop is dying with only photoshop and a browser open

velvet summit
#

most laptop buyers dont really even care about the most high end components i would think

#

or rather, they may want the most high end components but dont realize that the lack of good cooling could hurt it

#

honestly speaking, thin and lights are the main market
most people dont need a gaming machine as their laptop

#

they just need something that can process excel documents

#

make zoom calls

pliant berry
#

yup

paper verge
#

so just make a cheaper laptop that performs better and sell more

velvet summit
#

and if it looks good/sleek, it probably would make it look more professional

#

nothing feels like a weird brand

velvet summit
#

yeah

#

they seek to emulate like

#

brand name

#

trying to be a designer brand or smth like that

#

at least that's what the vibe i get from seeing their products

paper verge
#

make them transparent

velvet summit
#

so yeah a designer brand

#

their site screams designer brand to me

paper verge
velvet summit
paper verge
#

i feel like apple is even more designer than them

velvet summit
#

apple may seem a bit more, but it doesnt mean that nothing isnt a designer brand either

#

aesthetics appears to be a big factor in the design of the nothing products

paper verge
#

yeah but who wants to show their nothing phone two

#

people wanna show their iphone 14 pro max 512gb

velvet summit
#

storage amount doesnt really matter for showing iphone, nobody would know if you have the lowest storage or highest storage model lmfao

paper verge
#

you get the point lol

velvet summit
#

also i've seen people show off their nothing phones (online) at least

#

so at least they have enough brand recognition for people to recognize the phone

#

unlike oneplus back when it first came out 💀

paper verge
#

i kinda like the new asus phones design

#

its a good phone aswell

dusk knot
velvet summit
#

basically if a product is appealing because of its brands, or for fashion, because of a certain aesthetic, i would consider that a designer, or at least attempted designer brand/product

#

and isnt targeted towards the low end market

paper verge
#

i dont get why you would only make it for the design aspect though

velvet summit
#

prices of the nothing products are basically the same as the equivalant apple product so they definitely arent aiming for the low end

#

wdym?

paper verge
pliant berry
#

the company was split off from oneplus. but they definitely try to go for that apple aesthetic

McDonalds ain't what it used to be anyways. They've gutted the app deals and how they all apply

#

They don't even bother with the bogo Big Mac or quarter pounder, now they just do 30% off one iirc. And the deals don't work with any of the 2 for whatever they raised the price to special, so if you were planning on getting two McDoubles and a deal fry you pay full price for each

#

And this is in my local area where wages haven't increased in years, so they don't even have that excuse

Has anyone returned items to Newegg after using them, within the return period? Do I have to worry about anything as long as they work and have everything included?

is it a prebuilt gaming pc by any chance or some oem (dell, hp, etc)

prebuilt

i checked all plugs that are easily accessible but i can't really get to the PSU without dismantling it

dang it would be hard to identify the cause of a short

maybe a screw that shouldn't be in there

that happened to me once

velvet summit
#

2018 company

#

from california apparently

rancid juniper
#

what you can do is reseat the psu cables

velvet summit
#

i would think it is a short, and not a unseated cable from shipping, since if it was just not fully in, the system shouldnt turn off and back off

#

after a second

rancid juniper
#

that is true

pliant berry
#

maybe reseat the ram, gpu?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rancid juniper

na its a short

velvet summit

if you have a good enough phone camera, try to take a few photos and dm them to me to send here since you dont have the role to send images yet

yeah that's still a short

rancid juniper

interesting

i guess he can try removing everything except for cpu

and try

#

but eh

velvet summit
#

i mean

#

they bought a prebuilt, not to disassemble the whole thing LMFAO

rancid juniper
#

LMAO

velvet summit
#

if it comes to that, i rather send the pc back for RMA since it isnt their problem that it isnt booting

rancid juniper
#

best they can do now is RMA

velvet summit
#

if it's a simple cable problem, that can be solved by looking at an image, then it would be worth fixing, but anything more should be a RMA

did they make you send the whole build back, or did they just send a new panel

grand kernel
#

you bought a prebuilt, you're paying them to deal with any problems that may arise

tender gyro

the whole thing went back

grand kernel
#

not your job to diagnose this

tender gyro
velvet summit
#

true, usually they do ask you to try some troubleshooting before you can send it back

rancid juniper

just ask for a refund at this point if they can't send you a working pc

rancid juniper

XDDDDDDDDDD

tender gyro

#

tearing down a prebuilt pc is as much work as building your own

tender gyro
mortal grail
#

The way to fixing this would be taking it apart yeah

rancid juniper
#

☠️

grand kernel
#

and actually taking the time to properly diagnose a short is many more times work than building your own

#

trust me, i just went through that process myself

rancid juniper
#

^^^

mortal grail
#

I make the common argument a lot that a laptop nowadays is better value than a prebuilt because, for the cost of labour and assembly, you virtually get a screen and keyboard instead, and a small form factor

tender gyro
#

alright i think that seals it for me then lol i'll just send it back

rancid juniper
tender gyro
#

not gonna pull my hair out to try to figure this out

mortal grail
#

If building yourself is a turn off, I would get a good laptop

grand kernel
#

i can do 15 new builds in the time it takes to diagnose one build for a short

rancid juniper

so avoid that prebuilt company

going back to a desktop was so much better

rancid juniper

#

correctly done LM and undervolt doesn't stop my laptop from being loud and hot

#

15" screen sucks

mortal grail
#

Yeah but you still save a lot for just a trade off of noise

mortal grail
#

And you can still buy the screen...which you would anyway with a prebuilt

rancid juniper
#

all laptops are bound to be hot (maybe except arm based ones)

mortal grail
#

I just can barely justify a prebuilt nowadays, not for anything more than a couple hundred in extra costs over diy

grand kernel

maybe if you're going 60 class the value prop is fine

Or close

#

Tdp up to...170 iirc?

The tdp is what kills it

it's definitely not the same core count as the 4090

#

not even close

rancid juniper
#

smh

grand kernel
#

16384 vs 9728

#

legit almost double

#

it's the same core count as the 4080

mortal grail
#

Hm my bad then, it's a 4080 cuda count

grand kernel
#

but power limited

#

it's 21.7k time spy

rancid juniper
#

i cant lie tho, the 4070 cards are insanely efficient

#

puts my 7800xt to shame

grand kernel
#

my 4080 gets like 31k?

#

good 4090s get what, 40k?

#

my old 3090 scored higher than this

#

imagine paying 5k for last gen performance at quadruple the noise

#

😳

mortal grail
#

I don't remember it being that bad

grand kernel
#

well, it's 4080 silicon with less than half the power limit

#

doesn't take a large stretch of the imagination

rancid juniper
#

honestly not fair bro

#

ryzen 8000G prebuilts bout to be sold out fast

#

i can see it

if you don't actually need a laptop, high end laptops are even worse value than alienware

rancid juniper
#

hopefully the highest end (780M) can go for under $500???

#

Hmm ok, no you're right

It's near 4070ti
