Love it

[sinful blade]

4090 is tad much atm for a good 3 fan

[shut crystal]

Plus I’m getting the rtx 4080 super which might not be as good as 4090 but I shouldn’t have to get another card for at least a few years I should have a while.

[sinful blade]

And GameStop is out every time I check for that pny one

[shut crystal]

Maybe I’ll upgrade only when I absolutely have to

[dusk knot]

Same

I agree.

The 5090 will have to wait

To buy or not to buy @pliant berry

Nvm. The seller doesn't do shipping. I'm not driving 200 miles for a camera. Smh

[devout forum]

NGL

I don't think the 8700G has to beat something like a 6600XT

It competes more with the likes of a 1030/RX 560 price brackets

at least in terms of pricing here

oh okay used 6600 XT and a 12100f would fit into that pricing

Interesting

[rancid juniper]

Dang I missed something sus

[rancid juniper]

Oh wow

[mystic cedar]

Can I get some help rq, trying to build a pc , my budget is 1k and am mainly gonna use pc for gaming and coding and stuff. Not hard coding

[rancid juniper]

what games do you want to play on it, what resolution you're targeting?

[mystic cedar]

One sec

[rancid juniper]

ok

[sweet phoenix]

Do you care about nvidia or amd for gpu?

[sweet phoenix]

Here's first option, can swap the gpu to 4070

[sweet phoenix]

The fact that amds igpu is likely going to beat their 6500xt

[rancid juniper]

sad stuff ngl

LMAO

[velvet summit]

gpus dont have a beeper huh

[sweet phoenix]

6500xt never should have existed in the first place, and now they're cannibalizing their low end gpus with cpus is hilarious

[rancid juniper]

funny how this is not the first time amd is punching themselves

what a goofy gpu

just like the trash GTX 1630

[velvet summit]

when the competition aint doing crap so you compete with your own products frfr

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[hoary zodiac]

Wasn't it literally weaker than the 5500xt

[sweet phoenix]

on pcie 3.0 yeah

pcie 4.0 idts

[hoary zodiac]

[sweet phoenix]

since it's x4 it lost like 30% perf on pcie 3.0? something like that

[hoary zodiac]

AMD moment

How much more expensive is it to have x16 or even x8

Come on

Amazon customer support just needed the conversation on me when I was typing… never using Amazon again

[gleaming rivet]

This thing is super powerful.

Gotta use my body to keep it under control. Otherwise it's liable to shoot off into a wall.

[unreal trail]

I dont know why they expect people to be polite when the customer support is so terrible

and they straight up lie to you'

[sweet phoenix]

that isnt the workers problem

it's not like they're deciding to make the customer support ass. They have very tight restrictions on what they can and can't do. being rude to them does not help

[unreal trail]

lying to me doesnt help either

[sweet phoenix]

ok

take your issues up with bezos, not the people being paid $2 an hour

[unreal trail]

Im taking it up with the one actively lying to me

[sweet phoenix]

mhm

that's like getting mad at a water bottle spill when your house is flooding

[cold obsidian]

Yea they suck
First they tell me they put a stop request in and I’ll get my refund in 3-5 days
Then I confirm that it’s there a day later cause it’s still being shiped
Then 3 days later they say there was never a stop request
They say I can refuse at door step but the driver drops it off and leaves when he was supposed to get my signature
Then they say it can take up to 2 weeks
Now they say its going to take a month

[unreal trail]

truly it's your own fault and they shouldn't have to deal with you being upset. They obviously get paid 2 dollars an hour to be liars so its ok

[sweet phoenix]

minimum wage (and below) workers aren't there for you to yell at them.

that's called an abusive mindset.

[unreal trail]

maybe they can acknowledge that the company is trash instead of just trying to minimize liability

[sweet phoenix]

their chats are monitored. that is how they get fired.

[craggy shoal]

imagine having a problem with Amazon support lol

I once had a lost package, got my refund issued, and received the package a week later

Don't drink the coffee too fast

Wait omg

Yeah don't drink it then heat it wtf

Heat up half ur coffee and it's also full of aluminium deposit

[velvet summit]

well, the coffee would cool down the "heating element" before it melts lmao

also it isnt iron thermite

[thorn quartz]

Is it thermal throttling?

[velvet summit]

it's silicon dioxide

[velvet summit]

yes

[thorn quartz]

😭

I hate this stock cooler

So useless fr

[velvet summit]

50 watts seems a tad low even for an intel stock cooler though

[empty tide]

Mmm, I love boiling point

[thorn quartz]

One of the cooler pins broke

[velvet summit]

wdym

[thorn quartz]

So it doesn’t make contact as it should

[velvet summit]

wait the mounting?

that could explain it then lmao

[thorn quartz]

yeah the things u push into the mobo

[empty tide]

Well, cheap coolers are decent now

[thorn quartz]

Damn I guess I’ll have to get a cheap one then

[velvet summit]

https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-Cooler-LGA1700-Heatpipes-Cooling/dp/B09Z6M8NK5

Meh to say the least

[thorn quartz]

thoughts on this one

https://a.co/d/7njd3nZ

[mortal grail]

The cheapest 120mm single tower you can get

Pick literally any

There's maybe 1 bad egg in a sea of like 10000 decent ones

[thorn quartz]

would it be an overkill to get the ps120 for 12$ extra?

Is it like future proof in case of an upgrade?

[mortal grail]

But what motherboard have you got

[thorn quartz]

msi pro-a b660

[mortal grail]

You could?

But it'd be good up to an i5K or i7 non-K

Thermalright frost tower 120 is the go to now

31.90

[thorn quartz]

ooo

okay I'll check it out

[mortal grail]

Don't expect it to work with a i9

And I'd be doing that with full intent you upgrade your lga1700 chip

If you decide you want am5 later that could prove wasteful

Why I basically never really recommend "future-proofing"

You can sell the things you have to begin with

[thorn quartz]

hmm good point

I've been thinking of selling my i3

considering 12600K has been around 150$ ver often

[sinful blade]

I drove to Baltimore today
And back

I hate Baltimore

Every time I have to go there, I absolutely hate the city even more each time

[unreal trail]

ay guys

[velvet summit]

big bills hell cars

[clear compass]

@mortal grail the graphic card isn’t the problem

[sinful blade]

I hate driving in Baltimore

[steel dagger]

My aio takes multiple minutes to turn on while my cpu cooks at 90 celsius in bios

[sinful blade]

Especially when I’m driving the handicap van

[steel dagger]

Appears to not work at all on the aio pump header

No idea what happened

I woke up today

[mortal grail]

???

[steel dagger]

Turned on my pc

[mortal grail]

What happened today

[steel dagger]

Went up to 100c before it even opened

[clear compass]

So I tried the the other card I had and still didn’t post

[mortal grail]

Oh wow ok

Ok my next suggestion

Try a vanilla windows install

Brand new and fresh

I could point to ram or psu at that

Or something bad happened on the mobo

[steel dagger]

Anyone want to explore my wonderful world of problems no one is ever able to fix

[mortal grail]

If it's a kraken aio or similar they don't run the pump at all until a certain point

Probably also misreporting

If it's running fine now, then it's probably fine

[steel dagger]

Its supposed to run at all times at max speed with my settings

But heres the problem

[mortal grail]

Yes but not all pumps listen to that rule

[steel dagger]

I boot my pc

Aio doesnt cool anything

I go to 100 celsius before even putting in my password

I restart

Into bios

I change absolutely nothing

[mortal grail]

Then remount it or replug the aio

[pliant berry]

how do you know its 100c if you are typing in your password?

[steel dagger]

5 minutes of waiting in bios = it turns on and goes to 3000 rpm

[steel dagger]

Because its crashing and im getting cpu overheat errors

[mortal grail]

What aio is this

[steel dagger]

Enermax liquimax 360mm

Liqmax*

[mortal grail]

Heh

How old is it

[steel dagger]

A month

[mortal grail]

And how long has it been on the cpu

[steel dagger]

A month

[mortal grail]

Ok last question what cpu is it

[steel dagger]

12700k

[mortal grail]

Repaste it

And word of advice don't buy enermax aio's

[steel dagger]

That would have absolutely zero possible effect

[mortal grail]

They have a long, LONG history of clogging

[mortal grail]

Not if the paste dried out

[steel dagger]

Uh no it would still have no effect

[mortal grail]

Well up to you

That's my advice

[steel dagger]

This problem specifically

[mortal grail]

Nope

It would make a difference

[steel dagger]

How

[mortal grail]

If the paste is dried out the cooler ain't cooling bro

[steel dagger]

The cooler is cooling

After waiting 5 minutes in bios

[mortal grail]

Minimal to no contact

[steel dagger]

The 5 minutes

Is the problem

[mortal grail]

Yeah but not enough

[steel dagger]

Yes enougj

[mortal grail]

Paste dry out can look like this 💀💀💀

Bruh why you arguing

[steel dagger]

Its 28 celsius after it turns on bro

Because youre wrong

[mortal grail]

You wanted the help

Well alright good luck then with it

[steel dagger]

Its not good help though lol

[mortal grail]

I've had more than my fair share of paste dry out

[steel dagger]

Its extremely obvious the problem is not paste dry out

[mortal grail]

You've clearly never experienced it before

[steel dagger]

Because it is cooling properly after it actually turns on

[mortal grail]

Mhm

It can do that when it dries out

[steel dagger]

🤦‍♂️

[mortal grail]

[pliant berry]

I mean it's not totally unreasonable if it's just bad contact or preinstalled paste. especially if this system has been previously worked I'd say it couldn't help to check. only other thing I can think of is possible rma if you had already checked connections

and reset bios setting

[steel dagger]

I pasted it myself with thermal grizzly

The aio is literally just not pumping when it turns on

[pliant berry]

yeah besides a cmos reset and replugging connections it might have to be an rma. I'm not particularly good with aios but that's the only thing I can think of immediately

[steel dagger]

This doesnt look ideal

[rancid juniper]

this is my idle temps

near 50c

lolz

[steel dagger]

Rookie numbers

[rancid juniper]

can drop as low as 31c tho

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

Congrats have fun

[dusk knot]

Hh

@rancid juniper hey remember the issue I was having with that pc

No post no beep no display output

I got a new psu and same thing happened

Could cpu cause that??

I reseated it but I don't have another cpu to test it with

[rancid juniper]

Chances are either the CPU or motherboard is dead

Maybe CPU more likely

[sweet phoenix]

Mobo more likely

[rancid juniper]

e

[unreal chasm]

Yea it's a brand new mobo I've had the cpu for a little while now and it's never given me an issue

Why is Hogwarts Legacy actually selling on Switch?

[wary fjord]

yes

i played it

u enter a building... loading screen

u leave

loading screen

thats how they cope with the hardware requirements

[unreal trail]

yes, thats what I mean. Why would anyone buy it on Switch?

[wary fjord]

and its 30 fps

and the graphics are lower than the lowest u can do in pc

but the experience is the same

[unreal trail]

kek

[wary fjord]

people dont mind visual

they mind experience

[elfin mural]

if genshin can't run on switch

[unreal trail]

I have bought a bunch of ports on Switch, like Crisis Core.. but the port was pretty good for that, unlike Hogwarts Legacy

[elfin mural]

why would Hogwarts manage that

[wary fjord]

theres some good games in switch

bayoneta , nier ones is nice

xD

based

[unreal trail]

Genshin is getting a fat check to keep it off Switch

[wary fjord]

its just switch has a habbit of dying

xD

[unreal trail]

I mostly play Switch on TV

[wary fjord]

seen some hardware failure just to run something on 60 fps

i think it gets too hot

and it dies

wont turn on anymore

[craggy shoal]

oh I see. it's a whole different item

[unreal trail]

Tales of Vesperia runs 60 FPS in battle

but Symphonia doesn't really run at all

whoever ported Symphonia needs to find another job

[wary fjord]

bayonneta im suprised it runs 60 fps at all

without sacrificing much

wtf I can't block that stupid chrome what's new tab

[sinful blade]

Don’t use chorme

Firefox or bust

[craggy shoal]

Brave + Firefox

[swift sable]

Edge >

[craggy shoal]

Edge is just Microsoft's version of Chrome

[rough zinc]

I’m boutta turn you into a what’s new tab

[craggy shoal]

"But Edge is better on resources" I don't care

[wary fjord]

because its not a valid address xD its a browser protocol

[craggy shoal]

it is though

[elfin mural]

i use chrome proudly

[north crescent]

Likely a feature flag thing

chrome://flags/

Annoying that you need to use debug settings (the flags) to disable this annoyance

[craggy shoal]

"But Firefox is ugly" is a web browser supposed to be pretty?

[sinful blade]

How dare ye

[sinful blade]

It can be customized

So

[craggy shoal]

that too

[pliant berry]

I use arc and firefox now

[elfin mural]

Firefox for me has never been stable

it loves crashes

[craggy shoal]

And if I want more customization, I'll just use Floorp

[sinful blade]

When’s the last time you used it @elfin mural

[elfin mural]

And I use google services

Muh sync

Last year

[sinful blade]

I just want muh google services to sync

Got my stash of passwords saved within password manager

[mortal grail]

I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS THANK YOU

[mortal grail]

[craggy shoal]

I might change Firefox with Floorp

[elfin mural]

i can't lose google sync chrome has

[north crescent]

It was a fun rabbit hole, esp with all the updates changing names and such

[elfin mural]

it's inconvenient af to lose

[mortal grail]

YES

I COULDN'T TELL WHICH WAS THE RIGHT ONE

@north crescent do you know the one for edge

[north crescent]

I dont use edge so idk. Do you know what the flag URL is?

[mortal grail]

edge://flags

?

[mental yoke]

Hey

[mortal grail]

hey

[mental yoke]

Leggo my eggo

[mortal grail]

hay

[north crescent]

I dont see any flags related to journey/history. Is it even a thing for edge?

[elfin mural]

why would i care when chrome is fine

i don't game with my browsers on

well i do but that's with roblox

[mental yoke]

Get more memory if you care.

16gb of ram should be a minimum

But honestly I feel more comfortable with 32gb of ram

[elfin mural]

i already have 16

[mental yoke]

Cool.

You aren’t affected.

[elfin mural]

but i don't have $100 for more

[mortal grail]

I might drop edge if it doesn't have it ngl lol

edge is more annoying with the what's new crap than chrome is, but it runs so much better

honestly any browser doing that annoys me to hell

[craggy shoal]

"Chrome takes up so much memory" yeah upgrade from your tiny 4GB

[mental yoke]

I honestly want to get 64gb of ram at a higher speed but I feel it won’t be nowhere near worth it for what I do.

[tranquil pebble]

4 GB in 2024 is serious cap

[craggy shoal]

even 8GB lol

[mental yoke]

Honestly

[mortal grail]

64gb overkill to the point of vaporisation

you don't ever need that much unless you work

or you play star citizen

[mental yoke]

My old work computer had 8gb of ram before I threated them to replace my computer

[tranquil pebble]

We're in an era of 16 GB RAM phones... if your PC has less than that you need more. lol

[north crescent]

I want to move to Librewolf (firefox fork with privacy stuff), but last I tried it didnt fair well with tab spamming (rare thing for me when comparing like 32 billion products)

[mental yoke]

In an era of 16gb handhelds.

Even though they should have 32gb

[mortal grail]

true

[mental yoke]

Because of onboard vram sharing

[craggy shoal]

"Edge uses less memory than Chrome" it uses basically the same amount of memory (this is opening five tabs of YouTube in each browser)

low memory issue. can't imagine 💀

[cedar compass]

Imagine not having enough ram and complaining about ram usage

[sinful blade]

Boy, I can’t wait to use my rtx 4090 and 7800x3d to play fallout new Vegas

[cursive oasis]

would it be worth it to upgrade from 32 GB of ram to 64 GB?

[mortal grail]

now that chrome has the memory saver feature, yeah, they act very similarly on ram

[north crescent]

Yeah ikr. Just download more when not enough memory

[cursive oasis]

What would it even do if i did

[mortal grail]

depends, do you do lots of video work

modelling?

ai?

virtual machines?

[sinful blade]

Unless you’re doing some heavy lifting video editing, modeling, no

[mortal grail]

what do you use the pc for

[cursive oasis]

Gaming, but i do want to eventually learn blender and maybe use it to make animations or models for games

[mortal grail]

nope

stick to 32

[cursive oasis]

ok bet

[mortal grail]

32 is ample for interim stuff and for just about all games

if not all

[north crescent]

Usually

[sinful blade]

I used 32 on my old pc setup and never ran into any ram issues

[north crescent]

Then there is a person Im working with where they went over 32gb for modelling for a uni game project. But she also kinda goes overboard with details (in terms of scope for a uni project) cuz has professional experience.

[mortal grail]

I could believe that

but dabbling is fine for 32

once you get a feel for what you might need, then 64+ could be considerable

[tranquil pebble]

16 GB of RAM on a phone is so overkill its hilarious but its far better than not having enough

[north crescent]

When starting off, ideal not to completely invest until you know you are staying

[mortal grail]

exactly

one of the biggest lessons we throw around here

learn before you buy

[north crescent]

buys 5090Ti for LoL

[tranquil pebble]

I'm more into doing things Leeroy Jenkins style...

[mental yoke]

On my handheld I allocate 6gb of vram….most games AAA use about 5-8gb of ram. Which leaves about 2-5gb of ram for windows functions. Can’t believe MSI didn’t give its new device double the ram and decided to charge 50-100 bucks more for its device than Lenovo or asus

[mortal grail]

is there any ddr4 that is aging worse than patriot vipers as far as aesthetics

[mental yoke]

5090 for minesweeper.

[mortal grail]

I personally like the Bobas more but these are good too

The keycaps make it feel cheap but I’m jobless atm and can't afford new ones lol (hopefully that changes soon though)

[young matrix]

tbh the caps look fine

[craggy shoal]

They're just worn down

[mortal grail]

@modern imp I'm putting ptm7950 in today

hotspot creep happened again

but only on XTX

all my other cards are fine on mx-6

incl. 4090

4090 temps haven't shifted since day 1

might have to do with the fact it's chiplet? or maybe just gcd heat concentration, idk

I had the ptm7950 ordered last time I brought this up but figured I'd try again just to be sure, with shorter pads

since I had to wait a couple weeks anyway

[wary fjord]

Privacy is a joke on internet xD

[worn wave]

Brave and Ungoogled chromium are both Chromium

[mortal grail]

never tried either of those

and now that the update tab is dead on chrome, with adblock it just works so

meh rn

if it ain't broke don't fix it as they say

[wary fjord]

Thats no fun

[modern imp]

Probably heat density related

[wary fjord]

I think i gave my cat too much catnip

[tranquil pebble]

Just finished the main story of Tales of Arise.

[mortal grail]

I'm thinking that yeah, that and the gaps in the chiplets may be having a role in dry out

[wary fjord]

Put in it on #gaming xD only few people Sharing games they complete

I recently get active on playing story games again xD

Ima play tales of Zestiria still

Havent finish it

[tranquil pebble]

partly I play Tales of games for the art style

[wary fjord]

||Hand it to me for a year maybe that will cool it. || 👉👈

[wary fjord]

Yeah they are nice

U played berseria yet?

[mortal grail]

You come here and use your lungs to blow onto it while I game ye?

[wary fjord]

Maybe u need to find the coldest material.. in the world.. xD

If it aint stuttering i dont mind the heat. XD unless its 3 digit at idle

[tranquil pebble]

Yep, hit level cap on everyone

[wary fjord]

Nice took me a lot of days to beat that xD

[north crescent]

@wary fjord Do you have any recommendations for a forwarding shipping company to use for Lazada?

[wary fjord]

Like laz loc to usa?

No idea xD

[north crescent]

Ya basically, but to CAN for me. Thanks anyway tho.

[wary fjord]

Hope u found one

I use one usa to ph instead

Avoid Manila forwarder tho.. their service sucks.

[north crescent]

Dont have too many choices I think. Most of what I found were Business to Business forwarders, couldnt find anything that is Business to Customer.

[wary fjord]

Try alibaba

XD

Laz is backed by alibaba anyways

As a senior software engineer, looking forward to working with you.

I am seeking a job right now

[elfin mural]

[wary fjord]

Join LinkedIn park

Can someone tell me whats those powdery stuff on battery terminal

[mortal grail]

ohhhh interesting as hell

STAPM is the handheld side of the microcode interfering with them

so it needs a future bios update

[elfin mural]

STAP

literally

[mortal grail]

So like the last APU's

Decent

But meh

Also @elfin mural you were kinda right, they're taken from mobile chips

In this case z1 extreme and I think Z1?

Hence the stapm issue

[elfin mural]

hm

well still similar design in essence

[mortal grail]

I'd enjoy seeing this apu in the smallest itx ever

With like 8000 ram lmao

[elfin mural]

i just compared 8700g against 7940hs in a quick glance

they seem so similar so i thought it's the base

[mortal grail]

Maybe?

[elfin mural]

identical cache

[mortal grail]

They said stapm is a handheld or laptop thing

[elfin mural]

ye

[mortal grail]

But they directly compared the 8700g to z1 extreme

The difference being power limit

Kekw

[elfin mural]

z1 extreme is probably also 7840u or something

but tweaked

[mortal grail]

Maybe

One thing for sure is I'm definitely not interested

Happy enough with 6800h

[elfin mural]

but smol pc

[mortal grail]

Lappy

[elfin mural]

true

my mom is looking to get a mazda 2

not the new one

but the second gen, the era of smiling mazdas

[mortal grail]

: D

[wary fjord]

ehh im thinking a different XD mazda

the rx7

[elfin mural]

rx-7 doesn't smile

the mx-5 does

[wary fjord]

that sounds like thermal paste ngl

[mighty hazel]

[mortal grail]

kinda true tho ngl

but game pass and plus sort of negate that a lot these days

unless you specifically go for AAA

[misty sparrow]

couldnt imagine buying AAA on Xbox One

[dusk knot]

Vision pro reviews are out...

https://youtu.be/hdwaWxY11jQ?si=OkzaZFNof__8MT9Z

Apple sucks lol

Jk....it's alright

[unreal trail]

Dragon Quest Builders finally out on Steam 🤡

[dusk knot]

Hooray

[misty sparrow]

I just don’t get the point of this; who is this for?

Too expensive for the average consumer but too useless for businesses

[velvet summit]

It's marketed for businesses

[north crescent]

What's even better is that deals can be gotten for cheaper if you wait a few months after launch and use other stores like Fanatical or GreenManGaming, and dont need to be rebought after hardware upgrade.

[young matrix]

It lacks pc software support, already an L

Businesses wont want it if they cant use it

[misty sparrow]

Well some businesses use Macs

And to that I say, why not buy a Mac instead

No reason to buy this hunk of junk

Well, unless you want to blow up a movie on a big screen that only you can see (useless when not on the go)

[mortal grail]

I was watching the level 14 pal try to one shot me from across the river but his pathfinding was so bad he'd twitch like he was made of FSR 3

I was throwing chickens at him and wittling him down

While the chickens would get bowled over

[rancid juniper]

careful now, he may phase out of existence and teleport near you

😳

[misty sparrow]

I played Jedi Survivor on the PS5 and it couldn’t even hit a solid 1080p on performance mode

[mortal grail]

He nearly did

[misty sparrow]

I hate modern games

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

Almost landed on my face

Goofy logic

[mortal grail]

I swear probably toaster

I had this maxed out and it was fine

[rancid juniper]

why’d you crop it out

1984 censorship?

[young matrix]

14400 i think it's the lowest rn

[mighty hazel]

Oh it’s 3570k and 1050

[misty sparrow]

oh that’s easy never mind

it’ll run

[mortal grail]

That's igpu tier nowadays

Rog ally go brrr

[mighty hazel]

LOL

[young matrix]

8600g

[misty sparrow]

maybe it’ll run on Steam deck idk

[mortal grail]

It would

[young matrix]

100%

[mortal grail]

680m is better than 1050

[rancid juniper]

8700G needs a price reduction

[elfin mural]

it unfortunately will not drop

no competition

[mortal grail]

well gn

[misty sparrow]

hope Felix doesn’t find out there’s a giant enemy spider in his room

[mighty hazel]

[elfin mural]

you can eat the pals

[misty sparrow]

good that’s realistic

we need realism

[mighty hazel]

Now i just need to get a 1050/j

[unreal trail]

You can also catch humans as Pals, which means cannibalism is permitted in Palworld

[rancid juniper]

graphics arent the most important thing

[paper verge]

[young matrix]

Proof = tf2

Undertale

[paper verge]

tf2 is the worst and stupidest game ive ever played

[mighty hazel]

tf2 graphics are actually good lol

[tranquil pebble]

proof = a lot of indie games

[mighty hazel]

TF/2 is probably one of the best games

both tf2

[misty sparrow]

and both games didn’t get any updates for years

[paper verge]

indie games have good graphics what you talking about

[tranquil pebble]

nobody is better than indies at proving that graphics arent everything

[misty sparrow]

lethal company did better than call of duty

and pcs are 25% of cod population according to Bobby

[tranquil pebble]

Some do yes

[paper verge]

lethal company is a game cod is a franchise

[tranquil pebble]

a fishy franchise

[paper verge]

they should just bring back wz1 and add their current anti cheat

thinking about it i feel like the sweats ruin the game more than anything but sure

[misty sparrow]

call of duty hasn’t been good since maybe bo3

yet people keep blindly buying them every year expecting things to change

[tranquil pebble]

bo3 campaign was fire even if confusing

[misty sparrow]

the zombies was the best part

[tranquil pebble]

I like Infinite Warfare too

[misty sparrow]

The last good zombies in cod history lmao

Woah, Intel isn't making us buy the most expensive CPU to get the igpu we want in a handheld? Are they crazy or something.

[proud jackal]

Intel best for gaming

[ancient swift]

They didn't kneecap the i5 that'll be in a handheld with a bad igpu.

Both the i5 and i7 have the Intel arc 5. But you only save 50$ with the i5 e.e

Intel core ultra 5 135H vs Intel core ultra 7 155H

[young matrix]

Intels mobile lineup this gen is pretty interesting

[ancient swift]

Oh there's not a shocking Difference between them. Looks like it's just 2 less performance cores

[craggy shoal]

Well I guess I’m upgrading my PSU next build lol (I'd probably have to regardless given the direction of how much power everything is needing)

[surreal kernel]

does anyone know why my screen messes up

when I try strechtd resolution s

like 1280 x 960 in cs

or 144 x 1080

1440

[pliant berry]

wdym it messes up

[velvet summit]

you have given us so much information but no information

[surreal kernel]

uhh

it doesn't display well

it like

it's un usable basicly

[velvet summit]

that also doesnt really explain anything

[surreal kernel]

idk how to explain it

[velvet summit]

also 1440x1080 is a 4:3 ratio

[surreal kernel]

I can't send a pic bcs I'm in-game

[surreal kernel]

yeah

it doesn't work

it messes up the game

like let's say a certain part of the screen appears more than onfe

it's like diafigured

[velvet summit]

take a picture with your phone?

[pliant berry]

yeah im not sure how that means. but resolution stuff usually depends on what the game supports and what the monitor supports

[surreal kernel]

I'm in game

[velvet summit]

4:3 is a strange resolution for a modern pc though

[surreal kernel]

idk it used to work fine with my old card

[surreal kernel]

cs

[pliant berry]

native resolution is always ideal. when you start doing non native aspect ratios that's where things can get messy

[velvet summit]

you clearly are able to type though

[pliant berry]

why play a competitive game at 4:3?

[velvet summit]

some cs pros use 4:3 since its faster or smth

[surreal kernel]

because I keep dying

😭

[pliant berry]

most that I know of are specifically designed for 16:9 and actually limit your fov if you use anything else

[velvet summit]

you are dying quite quickly then lmao

[surreal kernel]

yeah 😭😭

[pliant berry]

this just sounds like bs

[pliant berry]

is this a before shot?

[surreal kernel]

yes

[velvet summit]

i was going to say that it didnt look like 4:3

lmao

[surreal kernel]

player model becomes bigger

[surreal kernel]

yeah it's 16 9

[worn wave]

But they also move across your screen faster

[surreal kernel]

I'm used to it

I'm a low sens player either way

[swift sable]

i approve

[swift sable]

im pretty sure it is tbh

[worn wave]

Iirc 4:3 can sorta make sense in games that don't have an fov slider

Like cs

It's similar to lowering fov just more scuffed

[random osprey]

4:3 makes target bigger but also it cuts off your fov

literal pros have died because they couldnt see the enemy standign next to them

[velvet summit]

lmao

[worn wave]

It makes them " bigger" but they move faster as well. Same as lower fov

[worn wave]

I've seen a clip of 2 people walking past each other because neither one saw the other lmao

wanna know what I use instead of 4:3 users?

better aim.

[storm narwhal]

Simply a difference in skill

4:3 and stretching is just weird tho

[velvet summit]

i have 2 bottles

[storm narwhal]

Drink

[velvet summit]

real

[wary fjord]

4:3

[wary fjord]

easy to spot enemy is all it matters

because they all thicc

[tranquil pebble]

I'd think ultra-wide with big FOV would help there

[pliant berry]

https://youtu.be/7113wbJD3sw

[worn wave]

no FOV slider in CS. But yes, in games with an FOV slider that is the better option

[pliant berry]

What good gaming monitor under 200-250 at Best Buy????

[sweet phoenix]

What gpu and cpu do you have

[mystic cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mcvMMV

[sweet phoenix]

Do you own all that already?

If not can do a good bit better both quality and performance wise

Also for monitor

4060 is not a super capable gpu, I would recommend 1080p for it. However if you plan to upgrade gpu soon, 1440p would be a smarter choice

Or if you haven't purchased yet you can get a good bit better gpu with your budget without losing much cpu performance

Ie https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bMJQMV
Cpu is within a few % of the 5800x in gaming, yet gpu is around 35% better

I'm looking at best buys monitor selection and it's kinda awful

[mystic cedar]

Ye I already have it built @sweet phoenix

[sweet phoenix]

Ah ok

[mystic cedar]

It a friends tho

[sweet phoenix]

Do you have any plan to upgrade gpu within a year or so?

[mystic cedar]
