the hell

[rancid juniper]

cheapest ive seen was $60.89 on fanatical

[tranquil pebble]

when you do NG+ in P5R, skip all the cutscenes and the game goes a lot faster

[rancid juniper]

i can wait a month or two for discount

[wary fjord]

Digital Premium Edition cost $72 here

[rancid juniper]

but if that doesn't go down then i may have to do gamepass

[rancid juniper]

FR??

not bad

[wary fjord]

yes

how much in freedom country?

[rancid juniper]

this

[quiet zephyr]

would you recommend me a streaming mic under $100

[rancid juniper]

whats ur currency?

[wary fjord]

php

[tranquil pebble]

I have the collector's edition of P3R coming tomorrow.

Aigis figure will go brr

[wary fjord]

3rd world discount is real

[rancid juniper]

72php???

its gotta be higher

[wary fjord]

4095 php

xD

quite 4 digit

[rancid juniper]

yea

[wary fjord]

but in usd its 72 usd

[rancid juniper]

on the money

[rancid juniper]

nice

[tranquil pebble]

PHP 7.2 /j

[velvet summit]

you would probably prefer a dynamic mic if your room isnt treated acoustically because condensers pick up more reverb, but condenser mics have a wider dynamic range (not always the case, but generally yes)

[quiet zephyr]

let's say a dynamic mic

what mic would you recommend

[velvet summit]

uhh

[rancid juniper]

corona 3 relapse is my favorite game

[velvet summit]

honestly what you found would work for your price, or you could use a stage mic but that doesnt look good on stream ig

[quiet zephyr]

ohh okayy

[rancid juniper]

but damn, p3r OST slaps

wtf

as usual from sega/atlus

[tranquil pebble]

Atlus music in general is fire

[rancid juniper]

cant deny that

[velvet summit]

if you're fine with the mic looking like it belongs more on a stage (also wont break if you drop it) the sm58 or 57 is very good

sm57 is better if you want to mic up instruments

it's the same mic that the president of the united states uses for their uhhh

what is it called

speeches

[quiet zephyr]

pres conference?

[velvet summit]

yeah that as well

[tranquil pebble]

the artwork is too IMO

[quiet zephyr]

okay thanks for the recommendation

[wary fjord]

i might play this

[velvet summit]

those are i believe $99

just under $100 lol

[rancid juniper]

@grand kernel hey bro 😏 , its that time again

hehehhehehehe

[rancid juniper]

legit was looking at this game for weeks

[wary fjord]

u forgot the title ? xd

or just seen it somewhere

[wary fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/100percent-gif-18828781

[rancid juniper]

i saw a trailer of the game and some gameplay afterwards

wanted to play

https://tenor.com/view/granblue-relink-charlotta-action-rpg-fantasy-video-game-gif-27606211

[wary fjord]

deym

aight ima download it

[rancid juniper]

persona 3 reload beats persona 5 royal IN PLAYER COUNT WOW

its funny too because people wanted persona 5 on pc for a long time

and yet

not so many people played it

[wary fjord]

because they finish the game already xD

[rancid juniper]

that is part of the reason lol

[wary fjord]

p3 is the gun right

yeah thats it xD

this is stupid lol xD they using ai to generate capcha puzzles

i dont even know the answer xD

what relates to that

[tranquil pebble]

i fail these captchas constantly

[wary fjord]

nvm got it xD 2nd to 1st row and last row

[velvet summit]

if you do go for a dynamic mic though, for most interfaces within the 100-200 price range, you're likely to need additional gain, and the cheapest one that i know by name is the klark teknik ct/cm 1

[wary fjord]

u need a mic good enough to sound like markiplier

xD

the voice that shakes ur stomach

[velvet summit]

hello everybody my name is welcome back

nasty cuts

BRUH

[sweet phoenix]

Hey, maybe it can overclock to beat a 1060 6gb!

[rancid juniper]

🤣

it cant be this bad, its that BAD

[sweet phoenix]

Is it actually?

[wary fjord]

70w not bad if u care about electric bill

xD

[sweet phoenix]

Does it lose to a 1060?

[wary fjord]

169 bucks i think i will buy other card than that xD

too many 2nd hand that has better perf on that

[sweet phoenix]

no chance

[rancid juniper]

well cant confirm yet but this is what techpowerup shows

[sweet phoenix]

Thats hilarious

[rancid juniper]

RTX a2000 stomps this card

[wary fjord]

no way

[rancid juniper]

this is sad

[wary fjord]

r9

hahaha

[sweet phoenix]

IT LOSES TO A 970

[wary fjord]

r9 is back

xD

[rancid juniper]

[wary fjord]

but its on green side

[sweet phoenix]

IT BARELY BEATS A 1050 TI AT 5W LESS

[wary fjord]

wait thats worst than r9

[wary fjord]

if u buy this for 169 usd u are insane for who every people reading this xd

i say that should be 50 bucks

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[wary fjord]

25 bucks 2nd hand xD

[rancid juniper]

man its not even 8GB and recent games look like playdough on a 8GB card nowadays

this card is nothing more than something used for sff builds and light games

at best

but even then there are far better options near that price point

[wary fjord]

does it have rt

[rancid juniper]

well it has RTX in the name

so probably

lol

[elfin mural]

that estimate is waay off

[pseudo raven]

yeah wait those estimates are way off

[pseudo raven]

no shot its gonna be good but

it cant be that bad

[fresh nova]

Looks like the first step towards iron man

[elfin mural]

but

arc a580 exists

[fresh nova]

$6,600 dollars for a vision pro

[elfin mural]

and probably faster

more vram as well

[fresh nova]

Vision pro is like real life VR

Seems useless

Samsung has gen 5?

[elfin mural]

yeah

[mighty hazel]

1080 pro

[elfin mural]

and it's a trash gen 5 drive

p44 pro is miles ahead

[mighty hazel]

How much even is a 980 pro worth buying at?

Cause I see one reduced from 130

To 86

I also own 0 nvme’s

[tranquil pebble]

if its new, worth it... I would not buy a used one without health data for it though

[mighty hazel]

Only sata

Its now yea

[tranquil pebble]

and then once you get it, make sure it has updated firmware... idk if the 980 was one of the affected drives but it cant hurt to be sure

[mighty hazel]

Oh it’s 1tb for 86 not 2tb 💀

[tranquil pebble]

not that great of a price lol

[elfin mural]

if you want top end ssd

p44 pro is same price for 1tb

169 for 2tb

[mighty hazel]

What even is this 💀

[elfin mural]

but you can get gen 4 drives at 1tb for 100

that performs similar to 990 evo

[mighty hazel]

1tb for 100 sounds kinda expensive ngl

[elfin mural]

no, 2tb

my bad lol

i just found a perfect matte tempered glass for my phone after i already bought a crappy one

[mortal grail]

Speaking of tempered glass, I found my protector kit while digging around lately

[elfin mural]

borderless glass is so good

[mortal grail]

I figured I may as well

[elfin mural]

no worry about bezels

the one i have rn sucks lol

doesn't match well at all

[mortal grail]

But you mention matte

[elfin mural]

yeah

[mortal grail]

Mine isn't matte but, it's much less reflective I noticed

When I went back to the gorilla glass, I scratched it, which ticked me off, but also I noticed it's terribly reflective in the light

When I have the protector on it's like less bright? More diffused?

It's nicer

[elfin mural]

gorilla glass is terrible with reflections

[mortal grail]

Idk why I listen to people tho

It was driving me nuts

I go back and now my experience is better again

[elfin mural]

protector might not actually protect shatters but

i rather keep my original glass unscratched

[mortal grail]

I mean

It's shattered on me before a couple times

[elfin mural]

so protectors are perfect for resisting scratches

[mortal grail]

Yes

Preserve the phone

[elfin mural]

you can just replace one if it's scratched

boom, good as new

[mortal grail]

Unfortunately for me the paint is terrible on this thing

It's otherwise still a great phone

[elfin mural]

im probably gonna buy a huawei/honor phone

not huawei cuz google gone, honor is the alternative

[mortal grail]

should just be called 3040

Modern GPU with a DVI? 💀

"They should make a low powered 3050 with no PSU cables required" what 💀 No just go back to making X030 and X010. You're not gaming on a GPU that's exclusively PCIe-powered. Y'all know y'all are using that thing for extra ports for your office PC

Hi. Does anyone know when will this card be available? It's basically newly launched 3050 6GB, but showing out of stock.

[elfin mural]

not worth getting at all anyway

id just buy used gpus at this price range

[wind quail]

trust me you do not want to buy that card

[sleek remnant]

I need a cheap power efficicent NVIDIA card. The other choice is GTX 1650.

[elfin mural]

or an arc a580 if it must be new

oh, slot power required?

[wind quail]

whys it need to be nvidia?

and do you need slot powered or just small PSU?

[sleek remnant]

It will help in Primiere Pro and other Adobe apps.

[sleek remnant]

Just to save electricity 🤣

[elfin mural]

the savings aren't beneficial if you make money off using the gpu frankly

[wind quail]

oh bro, unless elicitricy is like €1 per kwh youre not gonna save that much

[elfin mural]

the 3050 6gb is pretty weak

[wind quail]

its really a 3040

[sleek remnant]

I almost ordered GTX 1650 but then I heard this card is launched. So I changed my plan.

[wind quail]

theyre both crap options tbh

[sleek remnant]

6GB is still better than 4GB in video editing.

[wind quail]

save up a lil bit more and get a 3060

or buy a used 3060

[sleek remnant]

I will, actually, eventually. Even better.

But until then I need a card for couple of years.

[wind quail]

buy a used 3060

itll be like same price

[sleek remnant]

I'm from India and GPU market sucks here.

[rough zinc]

^^^

Used 3060 is best

[wind quail]

ah then no point looking at newegg

[sleek remnant]

Old is not reliable here. Lot of scams.

[wind quail]

yeah ive heard that

either way

new 3060

is like a bit more, hugeee improvemetn

[sleek remnant]

Basically, whenever it's available there, it is available within a few days in India also.

[wind quail]

or even a 2060 or something if you can find it

1660/super/ti

also for pricing of electricity its negligable, a 3060 running at full wattage (unlikely in video editing) for 24hrs is 27 rupees, 3050 6gb youre looking at 11 rupees thats negligable for 24hrs of full on use

[sleek remnant]

Let me tell you why I'm concerned about electricity:

[tranquil pebble]

...?

[sleek remnant]

Looks like I'm new so I can't upload photo

Basically, any device that consumes more than 500W is too much for me. I want to stay below 300W for safety. Anything above can burn sockets.

[tranquil pebble]

If newbies could post images we'd have trolls posting some very deranged crap

[sleek remnant]

Electricity here isn't as good as more developed areas in my country.

So smaller and quieter is better for now/

[wind quail]

uh a 3060 at max wattage is 170w, assuming you had a power hungry cpu the system should still pull about 400w, and both are max load at the same time

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[mighty hazel]

Or a used 2070

2070 super ironically slightly better than 3060 💀

[sleek remnant]

I would absolutely love used cards. But it's not easy to get one. You can only trust if you can get while meeting seller in person.

[mighty hazel]

New 3060 I guess

[grand kernel]

bruh he just said he can't afford a 3060

i get that the 3050 6gb is a terrible card and we hate it but let the man be 😭

[sleek remnant]

Yeah I don't want to spend more than $170 right now.

[elfin mural]

new 3050 makes sense in india tbh

as much as i don't like the gpu

[sleek remnant]

I'm pretty sure this 6GB variant isn't horribly priced. It might be little overpriced, but it seems better than before.

[grand kernel]

it's pretty horribly priced

but if it suits your needs it suits your needs

[sleek remnant]

They launched 1630 with very bad pricing.

[elfin mural]

it's poor price, but 3060 in india is like 300 i think

[grand kernel]

yeah nothing compares to the 1630

1630 is just a bad joke

frankly the existence of the 1630 is insulting

[elfin mural]

more palatable than 6500xt

[grand kernel]

lol what

no

[elfin mural]

that's the 3050 6gb for ya

not 1630

[grand kernel]

oh ok

i thought you meant 1630 > 6500xt

not even close lol

[elfin mural]

yeah 6500xt is horrible

[grand kernel]

i know if i was new to pcs and got duped into buying a 1630 i would never buy an nvidia card again

[rancid juniper]

nvidia's "new" gpus are laughable

[elfin mural]

i don't have a good feeling about 4050 desktop

but if it's $200 or less

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidias-geforce-rtx-3050-6gb-is-20-slower-than-the-8gb-version

[elfin mural]

and performs like 3060

i will be ok

wait no, that's 4060

welp

[rancid juniper]

its going to be more than 200

[elfin mural]

it better be less than $200 then

if not i'll gladly trash it

but with the downgraded 3050 at 169

yeah

200+

250 i bet

[rancid juniper]

70w 3050 SCORES are in

[grand kernel]

4869

[elfin mural]

yikes

[grand kernel]

nice, a release of the gtx 1060 6gb

[sleek remnant]

They will launch it when RTX 50 series is announched.

[rancid juniper]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grand kernel]

the best brand new card for a solid 720p medium gaming experience

[elfin mural]

so true

[rancid juniper]

GTX 1060 RT edition

The RT in question:

[grand kernel]

lol RT in 240p maybe

[rancid juniper]

lol

[elfin mural]

so it's a 1060 6gb?

oooof

thanks nvidia

[brittle lynx]

pweaseee

[rancid juniper]

only for 169$ and up

dunno man

[elfin mural]

nvenc is the only defense

[rancid juniper]

the RTX A2000 exists

🗿

[elfin mural]

arc a580 too

if you only game

and feel daring enough

[rancid juniper]

i would consider a580 if it did <75w

[rancid juniper]

3050 70w edition is weak af

[elfin mural]

ouch

[grand kernel]

4793 vs 4869

[elfin mural]

big oof

[rancid juniper]

you can probably undervolt the 1060 to achieve the same results

lets be real

card is not even that power hungry

[grand kernel]

it's literally a 1060 6gb with dlss

[rancid juniper]

😂

[grand kernel]

paying $170 vs $40 to use dlss instead of fsr

[rancid juniper]

but but, its newer

that means game run faster

✅

[grand kernel]

tbh

being newer is a serious concern at this point

given the age of pascal cards

[grand kernel]

a lot more of them are starting to fail

[rancid juniper]

pascal is by far the greatest mistake nvidia has ever done

still proves it

[grand kernel]

i would not buy a used pascal card anymore in 2024

[rancid juniper]

rip

[elfin mural]

6600?

[grand kernel]

they can still offer decent performance but they're just getting too old

you can't know the past history of a 7 year old used card

[rancid juniper]

[elfin mural]

6600 roasts 3050 even 8gb one

lolol

[grand kernel]

some of them have been through 2 mining eras too

[reef shard]

Is it really Sunday there

[rancid juniper]

they really pushing 6gb cards in 2024

[grand kernel]

if a card has been through 2 mining eras it's probably going to need a fan replacement

still costs like $20 + time to replace them

quickly makes anything below the 1080ti not worth it

unless they're selling the lower cards for basically cost of shipping with a broken fan

then again

maybe seeing this joke of a 3050 6gb launch will increase prices on 1070s lmao

[elfin mural]

6600 is infinitely better value

$30 more for 3060 ish perf

[rancid juniper]

the 6600 with how low the power consunption can be a 75w card

[grand kernel]

doesn't matter

[rancid juniper]

maybe

[grand kernel]

people will buy it cause it's nvidia

[rancid juniper]

its sadly true

nvidia just has more experience/support

alot of software uses cuda

its inevitable

for games AMD can keep up but with the RT gimmicks and stuff people will still buy nvidia

and of course the bad AMD driver stigma is still lingering around

JUST DDU THE DRIVERS BRUH

[grand kernel]

i really wish all these terrible recent launches would cause nvidia to lose some mindshare

[elfin mural]

same

[grand kernel]

gtx 1630, rtx 2050, rtx 3050 4gb, rtx 3050ti 4gb, rtx 3050 6gb, rtx 3050 8gb

[rancid juniper]

nvidia really loves the rtx 3050

☠️

[grand kernel]

ok tbf amd drivers were genuinely terrible with rdna1

if i had those experiences with a 5700xt i would be really hesitant to pick up a 7900xtx

[rancid juniper]

weren't they like shifting to something new?

[elfin mural]

rdna 2 and 3 has way less issues

[rancid juniper]

when RDNA 2 launched things got so much better

[grand kernel]

people don't forget getting screwed so easily

[rancid juniper]

ok fair point

[dusk knot]

I need...next gen leaks😩

[tranquil pebble]

next gen leeks

[grand kernel]

heck i got 3 5700xts after people said the drivers were fixed and they still had all sorts of strange quirks

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[grand kernel]

they weren't terrible cards by any means

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 1 is just strange

thats all

[grand kernel]

but it took me about 5 minutes to lock in a stable tune for my 3070s

vs 5 months for my 5700xts

[rancid juniper]

5

months?

oh man

wtf

[grand kernel]

you think you have something stable

then 1 month later it crashes and brings down the whole rig

meanwhile the 3070s just keep chugging along with absolutely insane memory ocs

[rancid juniper]

have you tried an RDNA2/3 card yet?

[grand kernel]

yeah

i had a 6600 for like

[rancid juniper]

how was it

[grand kernel]

6 hours lol

[rancid juniper]

oh

[grand kernel]

was fun

got it to like 2800mhz

did some benchmarks

[rancid juniper]

pretty nice

[grand kernel]

then handed it off

i'm just saying

[tranquil pebble]

5700 XT can be unstable at stock settings, so yeah...

[grand kernel]

if i was an average consumer around 2019 and got a 5700xt that was constantly crapping itself i would not be quick to trust radeon cards in 1-2 gens

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 1 is more of an experimental generation

after they left vega

just like RTX 2000 being beta cards

[grand kernel]

i think in the end i was running around 7680 mt/s on my better 5700xt

tbf i was pushing that 5700xt pretty hard

but yeah it was just exhibiting weird behavior

weird behavior that i haven't seen from nvidia cards

[rancid juniper]

first gen ryzen - mid
first gen intel arc - whoa mama so many bugs
first gen rtx cards - eh
first gen rdna 1 cards - what the hell boi?

[tranquil pebble]

first gen intel GMA - 💀

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[tranquil pebble]

literally was so bad people were putting low end video cards into office PCs that only had a single monitor

[rancid juniper]

like if they transition to a new gen, expect some wacky crap

[grand kernel]

i wonder how long it will take intel to start competing in high end gpus

or if that's even a goal for them

[rancid juniper]

but when they improve on top of it, gets better from here

[tranquil pebble]

inb4 Intel Arc Extreme Edition

[rancid juniper]

it seems that they are trying to be more budget friendly towards many consumers

most likely midrange market and below

[grand kernel]

i want to see nvidia sweat lol

[rancid juniper]

and you cant lie, the ARC A770 with proper drivers can compete

these cards are strong for first gen arc, the drivers are getting slightly better each update

cant wait for battlemage

https://youtu.be/Tv3gNLgUbio?si=HX7Cn0AqD64wrnJ5

[grand kernel]

yeah but I want to see arc competing with x90

[rancid juniper]

🗿

that really isn't intel's focus here

lol

[grand kernel]

wonder if that's a goal for them or if they're content with midrange offerings

[rancid juniper]

but it would be cool ig

[grand kernel]

I mean clearly not this gen

but maybe next gen or the one after

[rancid juniper]

no one wants to compete with nvidia's high end flagships

even AMD is backing down to only x70 class cards

[grand kernel]

amd and nvidia have historically taken turns being at the top

there were some periods in history where amd high end dominated nvidia high end

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 4 will not be exciting when it releases

have no clue about battlemage

[dusk knot]

4070 performance

Soon

Or is that after...

[grand kernel]

could still be exciting if they price it correctly

[rancid juniper]

...

depends

if intel went stupid mode again, battlemage is an instant flop

hopefully their highest end card is below <$500

[grand kernel]

there was a time where radeon flagship was like 30% ahead of nvidia flagship you know?

[rancid juniper]

heck if its 400 it would be really good

what card

[grand kernel]

radeon x1900 xtx vs geforce 7800gtx

[grand kernel]

amd has some more recent wins than that, that's just the first one that came to my mind

[dusk knot]

Titan x..how weak it's now

[rancid juniper]

like this is really good, intel starting out and they already know how to make a RT capable card

nothing crazy but good for first gen

[rancid juniper]

ah ok

[grand kernel]

hd 7970 vs gtx 580 was another pretty big radeon win

[rancid juniper]

7970 iirc was a beast

its a dual gpu right?

[grand kernel]

no

[rancid juniper]

oh

[grand kernel]

you're thinking of the 7990

[rancid juniper]

ye

dual gpus will never return

[grand kernel]

radeon r9 290x vs gtx 780 was also a radeon favored generation but not quite domination I think

r9 290x 8gb certainly aged better than gtx 780 3gb though lol

[rancid juniper]

LMAO

[grand kernel]

390x I think was roughly competitive with 980 but after that they stopped competing on the high end until 6900xt vs 3090

[rancid juniper]

did you see my ping yesterday?

[grand kernel]

stop

[rancid juniper]

IMPROVED MEMORY

ehehheheh

its bios time boi

👌

[grand kernel]

let me cope with 4000 15-15-15 in peace

no more driving myself insane trying for 4133 15-15-15

[rancid juniper]

but

you'll never know if you dont try

[misty sparrow]

first day it came out and people are already being idiots

[dusk knot]

$3500

[misty sparrow]

I think people are only buying this thing because it’s Apple lmao

all valid criticisms go away once Apple releases a new product

[dusk knot]

Only reason.

This is no where as innovative as the iphone in 2007

Boring tech..

[misty sparrow]

It really isn’t as innovative

Yet you go and look at articles and they say it’s the best VR headset to ever exist

[cedar compass]

Microsoft already had something like that for years lol

[misty sparrow]

A lot of the “innovation” has already been done by Quest headsets

Even down to the hand tracking (although it isn’t as good)

[cedar compass]

I think it's called Hololens

[misty sparrow]

Yeah this is a rare time where Microsoft actually did something first

although HoloLens is more clunky it did innovate more

[dusk knot]

I'm only interested in the PPI

[misty sparrow]

PPI?

[dusk knot]

Pixel count per square inch

[cedar compass]

I'm more interested in gas prices

[dusk knot]

On the display

[cedar compass]

Gas prices under 2$ wen

[misty sparrow]

Oh yeah the display is really high quality, the OLED really pops and the lenses automatically move to adjust to your eye level

Only problem is, the FOV sucks

Not something you’d wanna wear for watching shows, which ironically is one of the big reasons why people are trying to justify this thing

[pseudo raven]

Microsoft did it first but apple will probably be able to execute and garner support for it better

that being said who is it even for

[misty sparrow]

I used it for a demo and I don’t even understand

[icy ore]

-53F in Alaska rn

dang

[dusk knot]

Have you tried it out yourself?

[misty sparrow]

Yes

[gleaming rivet]

Happy bday! @cedar compass
How's it feel to be old?

[cedar compass]

Thanks

It's not easy to be old

Level 27 passed
Level 28 loading

[paper verge]

woah your almost a grandpa

[pliant berry]

this one is too early for it to be of any practical use

[grand kernel]

who asked for this

LOL

[pliant berry]

will it make my room smell like strawberries

[grand kernel]

maybe

run prime95 and find out

@rancid juniper here we go again

this is your fault

[pliant berry]

I should try that, my room has started to smell like something is burning with all these pcs running

[icy ore]

eat it

[cedar compass]

Yeah I'm old already

[dusk knot]

Oh cool! Where? An apple store?

[rancid juniper]

Let's gooooo, bro gave in

Don't worry you'll get that 4133mhz 15-15-15 this time

[pliant berry]

I think the rated fov is about standard or just slightly above many other headsets

[pliant berry]

yeah they have it for demo in apple

[pliant berry]

wtf is this

can we do this the other way around. like poem into code? lol

[dusk knot]

Waiting for that 360 degree fov

[grand kernel]

just putting my 4000 daily profile back on and testing it while I go out for lunch

then maybe after that I'll see if anything works better than before

[rancid juniper]

"improved memory compatibility" lolololol

[grand kernel]

cpu vcore looks higher for some reason

[rancid juniper]

mine was lower

[grand kernel]

1.37 vcore in karhu

pretty sure I was getting like 1.30 before

time to try dropping to mode 1

[rancid juniper]

you dont set your cpu at a fixed voltage?

[grand kernel]

no

[rancid juniper]

mines at 1.170v with an offset of -0.055v

[grand kernel]

I just use ac/dc

[rancid juniper]

mmmkay

[grand kernel]

it's the better way to undervolt

[rancid juniper]

eh, manual voltage + msi mode gets it done imo

Legit had to record my bios because I might forget my tune

Before I updated

[grand kernel]

damn CPU power dropped from 183w to 121w doing the same thing lol

[rancid juniper]

Good thing right?

[grand kernel]

even after not touching it for so long I still remembered every single subtiming

every single bios setting

[rancid juniper]

Cool

[grand kernel]

every voltage and every termination

[rancid juniper]

I don't wanna attempt a botched ram oc

[grand kernel]

I thought I was done with this life

what have you done to me

[rancid juniper]

I think my CPU is pretty much optimized enough

[rancid juniper]

I find amusement when one tweaks their ram

[grand kernel]

it's time to push this 13700k to 6ghz with ddr4-4400

surely that's what they mean by improved memory compatibility right

my chip can magically do 4400 gear 1 now?

[rancid juniper]

Yes

🗿

[cedar compass]

Gas prices under 2$ wen

[rancid juniper]

Happy bday beanboi

Yep, yesterday was first day for demos. Didn’t think demo showed enough though

[surreal kernel]

hello

[misty sparrow]

wow damn looks like the reply feature didn’t work

thanks discord

[misty sparrow]

Yeah demos just started yesterday but I don’t think the demos really showed enough of the headset

[pliant berry]

I haven't seen it in person yet but to me it just looks like another really cool device with not enough software yet

[misty sparrow]

just navigating menus, looking at photos and movies downloaded. That’s all the demo was

[pliant berry]

There might be a chance that some of the ar game devs on quest will port to vision pro

[dusk knot]

Sad. Still not worth it

I just want holograms already

[misty sparrow]

There’s some things like fruit ninja and synth riders but it apparently feels odd to play them bc lack of haptics

[dusk knot]

Oh...where the heck is Dallas?

[pliant berry]

yeah

its ok, slow progression

first we fix optics, then control methods, then haptics

What desks do you guys use?

[real locust]

wood

[unreal trail]

huh

[sinful blade]

I’m looking into a different desk, and I’m curious what others have

[misty sparrow]

Slanted desk

[sinful blade]

[silver sparrow]

so i found a x670 motherboard that i like for like 250

[sinful blade]

[gleaming sedge]

I love how there is nothing on YouTube about making your own kinda deep space network type of thing for your back yard. So I'll have to piece things together

[misty sparrow]

I really want to burn it and get a cable free desk

[sinful blade]

I’ve been looking at desks with built in usbs and outlets.

[misty sparrow]

SecretLab makes good desks

[sinful blade]

$500 minimum?

[weak cedar]

I have a glass desk, don't get them unless you move a lot

[misty sparrow]

They’re $500+?

https://tenor.com/view/fall-damage-guy-jumping-off-cliff-meme-fall-jump-gif-10998107752099134325

[weak cedar]

I'm starting to look at other desk

You also think of it as a one time buy or investment that won't be changed in 10 to 20 years 😬

[weak cedar]

🤔

[misty sparrow]

oh that’s probably why

It says they’re made out of metal

No wood

[weak cedar]

Yap

Well cheaper wood, other wood desk cam go to 2 to 3k

https://elephantdesks.com/products/abundance-standing-desk
$799.00 USD

[unreal trail]

thats not gonna hold an elephant

[pliant berry]

what game is this?

[weak cedar]

cheapest > laminate desk
middle > metal desk
Most expensive > full wood desk

[rancid juniper]

granblue fantasy relink, game came out few days ago

[tranquil pebble]

Why would they be good for moving a lot?

[weak cedar]

There's nothing to them

[tranquil pebble]

I've seen ones where that is definitely not the case

I've also seen really simple wood ones

[weak cedar]

Weight mainly

Other the glass rest in bunch of metal sticks

[misty sparrow]

Imma pour salt in the wound by saying there’s a demo for PS5 but none for PC

[rancid juniper]

i know that, im playing the full game right now

[misty sparrow]

Just saying

Don’t you love salt?

[rancid juniper]

too much salt and i turn dry

[misty sparrow]

call of duty players are more dry than the average person in Sahara desert

[rancid juniper]

😂

im surprised they are still sweating despite all that salt

wtf

[gleaming sedge]

Yep that's why I'm building mine since I can have two 5 foot long 2 feet deep and 1.5 inch thick actual wood desks for around 400

[pliant berry]

what was suppose to be a simple migration turned into a 2 day frenzy of trial and error, updaters not working, looking through changelogs

@rancid juniper

no surprises there

[woven turret]

I have question, I recently bought a Lioncast LX55 headset and it kind of let me down, I was thinking of getting either a Logitech G432 or Razer Kraken V3 X usb, thoughts?

[mortal grail]

PC38X >>>>>>>

[woven turret]

270€

thats like almost 3 full tanks for my car

[mortal grail]

PC37X

[woven turret]

I don't have that much money to spend, otherwise I would have gotten a better pc

[mortal grail]

HyperX cloud ii

[woven turret]

something up to like 60€

[mortal grail]

This is literally like, the only 3 good gaming headsets that exist

Sorry, there's one more for half a grand

Apex pro

Or nova

Whatever that $500 steelseries one is that's not worth it

[woven turret]

so is the cloud 2 alr? mic doesn't need to be studio quality but still clear, and the audio must be clear

this lioncast lx55 is really depressing

[mortal grail]

Cloud ii yes

As far as like

Acceptable audio goes

Cloud ii makes the cut

The drop's make the cut as they're Sennheiser derivatives

Everything else is honestly a pass

Corsair has a pc38x clone too, forgot about that

That's just more expensive though and has a worse mic

So 5

5 headsets

[woven turret]

might try the cloud 2

if its not good, I'll find where you live and eat all your pickles

if you so happen to have any

[mortal grail]

I do but I use them like once a year

If you don't mind old pickles

[woven turret]

pickles dont really get old

if they're sealed well they just pickle more

[tranquil pebble]

sounds like quite a pickle

[mortal grail]

when does a pickle stop pickling

Like does it pickle out of existence?

Do we have to stop them before they collapse into a miniature black hole?

Do they reach a turn around point where they start expanding perpetually?

So many questions

[woven turret]

I think they just get bad at some point

[mortal grail]

Bad like

They join a gang

Or

[woven turret]

idk

pickle around and find out

[dusk knot]

If that was the case, we would all be dead a million times over

😀

[mortal grail]

How would you know

[dusk knot]

You're still here. You're proof

[mortal grail]

Has humanity just been able to destroy or consume all the pickles in time

[dusk knot]

🤔

[mortal grail]

Or have there been real cases of REAL pickles lasting longer than several years unhindered to their pickling

[woven turret]

they cloud 2 is currently on sale apparently, how long do you think the sale will last?

probably gonna get it on the next paycheck

well @rancid juniper i can confirm that this new bios isn't worse than before

can't confirm whether or not it is any better

[serene flame]

hot cheetos w/ lime
or w/ c heese

[grand kernel]

but at the very least it's not worse

my old daily profile is still stable

4133 still not stable

[rancid juniper]

well glad to hear it ig

used my oc tune from previous bios and everything is smooth aswell

doubt that there is anything else left to tweak

[serene flame]

anyone tryna lmk what the hell is wrong w/ my youtube media player thing

yeah im just gonna keep settling for 4000 15-15-15

it's fine

all my games run fine

is there any inverted mouse?

like

I was holding my mouse like this and I find it very comfortable

[wind quail]

I don't think I've seen a mouse that's higher on the clicky parts

[quiet zephyr]

I swear it is very comfortable

[wary fjord]

Its funny rather than creepy

[elfin mural]

no mouse in the world is shaped like that

[wary fjord]

U can 3d print ur own mouse

[elfin mural]

go to disk management on windows

[wary fjord]

If u really love that shape

[mighty hazel]

Idk there’s some pretty crazy mouses

[elfin mural]

you can design your own i guess

needs a 3d printer

[mighty hazel]

Like this exists

[wary fjord]

Mouse is obsolete soon.. moving cursor using mind is lit

[elfin mural]

those aren't really too crazy ngl

makes sense for ergonomics

[wary fjord]

Its like holding a pen

I discovered Graphic tablet are the best fps mouse xD

Tried it yesterday pretty awesome

[tranquil pebble]

my honest reaction

I still suck at osu tho

My vision makes them all in straight line

XD

[tranquil pebble]

I only use osu for the music in it
