"How much perf can I get for spending 250k of my currency?"

What about 350k?"

those are the questions that I seek the answer to

(For reference, the 4090 just now fell under 800k HUF for the first time, ever)

[elfin mural]

oof

i hate the state of 4090 pricing rn lmao

[devout forum]

Yeah the average for the cheapest 4090 model was 875k

[elfin mural]

2000 for one in the us

[devout forum]

until like 2 weeks ago when it fell to 780k

[elfin mural]

big oof

[devout forum]

4090 starts at 2140 USD converted

(but that does include a 27% VAT)

[elfin mural]

that's actually..

kinda good?

ish lol

considering the huge vat

[craggy shoal]

Still not worth it but better than what we have lol

[elfin mural]

yep

us without taxes is easy 2k

[craggy shoal]

I miss 3000's 90 (3090) and it being below $2K MSRP (wasn't it $1600?)

[elfin mural]

it was 1500

[craggy shoal]

Gotcha

Bruh

[elfin mural]

1600 for 4090 but that's a dream rn

[devout forum]

It is never happening again

nGreedAI will NEVER again release a flagship GPU for anything less than 2 grand

[craggy shoal]

Now they’re all above $2K lol

[devout forum]

Expect all future flagship Team Green cards to trend upwards in price

[elfin mural]

an isp recently started using ai generated videos in tv commercial today

it's so obviously ai generated

i hate it

[craggy shoal]

I think Chevy recently posted an AI image of some truck. Idk what their plans with the image are (concept? Idk) but it fooled my mom and she thought it was a real concept from Chevy

Hold up imma try to find the photo

[elfin mural]

ai seeping into marketing is so bad

[craggy shoal]

Nvm I can't find it

[elfin mural]

ads are terrible already

turning them into monotone, soulless husks is even worse

[craggy shoal]

Get the new iPhone 15 on us only when you switch to Verizon
The only thing I hear

[elfin mural]

[craggy shoal]

I hate cellular service commercials

They’re the absolute worst

[elfin mural]

i can't imagine how bad it could get once ai gets used

[craggy shoal]

The best ones are the ones that talk about any medicine. Actually, watch one with the volume down and then rewatch it with your eyes closed (but the volume turned back up)

Just trust me on this 💀

[elfin mural]

kek

i almost bought a brand new pixel 6a ngl

but

verizon prepaid locked

so i got a used s21 fe in my country instead

[misty sparrow]

The Verizon iPhone 15 pro ads are especially terrible

[craggy shoal]

I hate them

[misty sparrow]

did you see the one where this dude goes into a kid’s birthday party and blows out all of his candles for a 15 pro

that one is just bad

[craggy shoal]

They’re using A list celebrities but writing annoying scripts for their commercials

The one they had for Christmas was especially annoying

[misty sparrow]

like the one where this lady looks in a mirror and her reflection tells her to get a 15?

pretty sure they did have two versions of the same ad

One that’s normal and one for Christmas

[craggy shoal]

Fr like what is that 💀💀

[craggy shoal]

The one that they’re singing Carol of the Bells

But it's an iPhone 15 parody

[misty sparrow]

oh yeah that one is bad too

but the lady’s reflection ad

[craggy shoal]

Just imagine "get the new iPhone [blah blah]" but in that tune

[misty sparrow]

I swear there’s two versions of the reflection ad

[craggy shoal]

"We're one of the best and most profitable cell service providers but we spend money on too many commercials that are completely obnoxious because we don't know what else to do with our money"

[misty sparrow]

[mighty hazel]

[unreal trail]

Business is business until things like this hit these employees personally

or until it happens to a politician

then it matters

[misty sparrow]

im pretty sure most people get rich by being completely terrible human beings

really the only way you can do anything to a business to make the rich guys care is to hinder their monetary gain

[unreal trail]

then they fire half the company and make whats left do everything

aka Gamestop

[misty sparrow]

they fire half the company, give stupid high bonuses to themselves and other rich guys and then leave as it goes bankrupt

they did it with JCPenney until it went out of bankruptcy

[mighty hazel]

Depends how rich but not always

If you’re a billionaire tho....maybe

[craggy shoal]

That’s true but business owners don't understand that. Actually they do but they’re selfish and prefer to gain profit for themselves, not caring much for their customers

[misty sparrow]

[rancid juniper]

☠️

wack way to go

[misty sparrow]

also i changed my mind about yuzu, it's not a "nintendo is stifiling consumers" problem

it's just that yuzu devs were too boastful

[rancid juniper]

^^^

there you go

[unreal trail]

yuzu built the shovel that dug its own grave lol

[misty sparrow]

they say they didn't do piracy but on their own discord they talked about how they pirated a lot

[rancid juniper]

yuzu devs were extremely sloppy that after seeing all they did im surprised nintendo waited this long

[misty sparrow]

and added support for games that either released the same day or didnt release yet

[unreal trail]

yuzu discord had a depository for holding roms

[rancid juniper]

and patches to a pre-released game

[misty sparrow]

they would've been screwed if they didn't do any of this btw

[rancid juniper]

i think the patches were in early access builds i think

could be wrong

[misty sparrow]

even if they didnt add patches before the games came out and didnt lock prerelease builds behind patreon they would have been screwed

because it needs your console keys to function

[rancid juniper]

oh my bruh

[misty sparrow]

instead of reverse engineering them it actively tells you to get them and gives you instructions

[rancid juniper]

they failed from the getgo

lmao

[misty sparrow]

bigger money pit than that tom hanks movie bro

[unreal trail]

lol

[misty sparrow]

i'm more worried about the media painting emulation and its community as evil because of yuzu

not the emulator getting taken down itself

[rancid juniper]

i really cant support an emulator dev so hellbent on money and paywalling stuff

lol

[misty sparrow]

if it had a paypal donate button then sure, that's fine

[rancid juniper]

and knowing what yuzu did they are on the deep end

[rancid juniper]

yea

[misty sparrow]

they are just lucky to get off as lenient as they did

[elfin mural]

yuzu capitalizing is their doom

[misty sparrow]

i mean 2.4 mil for a settlement?

[elfin mural]

has always been

[misty sparrow]

that's pretty low

[elfin mural]

yeah

they probably made tens of millions by now maybe

or probably enough to cover that lol

[misty sparrow]

they did make like 30k per month from patreon

[rancid juniper]

RPCS3

you dont get the fancy "early access" builds with this emulator

[elfin mural]

ps3 is sony too

[rancid juniper]

everyone gets the same updated build

[elfin mural]

they never take down emulators

[rancid juniper]

what was their reason for taking down bleem again?

oh

because it was paid stuff

and on competitors hardware perhaps

[misty sparrow]

Sony did sue them for having PayPal donations but rpcs3 won

[elfin mural]

ah

[rancid juniper]

😂

[elfin mural]

well donations are legal so

sony L

[misty sparrow]

I don’t blame people who emulate

they just wanna play a game at 60fps 1080p when the game probably doesn’t do those things

[rancid juniper]

nintendo when they still find out that people are actively pirating games even with yuzu gone:

[unreal trail]

mostly dev issue, scale the game to run on the console spec if you're gonna put it on a console

[misty sparrow]

oh by the way there’s already like 6 forks of yuzu now

because it’s open source

[rancid juniper]

yea lmao

[misty sparrow]

It’s literally a hydra

[rancid juniper]

one of the devs (nuzu) ran away from making that fork

lmao

overwhelmed

[misty sparrow]

For Switch I understand it

My granny’s pacemaker could probably run Tears at 1080p 60

or 4K 30

[rancid juniper]

💀

people wanted to see their favorite nintendo games run smooth and look crisp

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/why-are-you-booing-me-im-right-gif-10368876

[rancid juniper]

not wait till 2025 for it

not only that but that switch hardware so ass that probably everyone using it has phones or other hardware 5x faster than it

[misty sparrow]

It isn’t just the graphics that were stifled

[unreal trail]

FF7 Rebirth isnt exactly crisp

[rancid juniper]

😳

[misty sparrow]

Had the game released on better hardware the game would’ve probably done more features n stuff

Be able to handle a lot more

[rancid juniper]

yea man

imagine what these games would be like if they had more power/time

[unreal trail]

Better hardware isn't even the issue.. the Switch is throttled to reduce heat generation

for TotK, the CPU runs a higher clock while loading so it loads in like 2 seconds

[elfin mural]

remember that switch came out in 2015? iirc

[unreal trail]

then goes back to the lower clock rate lol

[rancid juniper]

and at the time of making said hardware the technology wasn't as great as it is now

[elfin mural]

phone hardware that time was much slower

i'll have five large fries..... and five more large fries

[rancid juniper]

but now apus have gotten so strong that the switch 2 better be as good if not better than atleast a rog ally

didn't the rumors said that the handheld is as fast as a base ps4?

🤔

[velvet summit]

i swear they emptied the mcdonald's days worth of fries on god

[unreal trail]

predictions say Switch 2 will be a little under PS4 Pro

[rancid juniper]

docked

[elfin mural]

that wouldn't be too crazy

arm has improved

[rancid juniper]

yea

[unreal trail]

I mostly play my Switch docked anyway

[rancid juniper]

nvidia better make it right though

[rancid juniper]

because AMD mastered the custom apus

i mean look at the XSX and PS5

all that power inside with low wattage

[elfin mural]

nvidia does arm well

it's no problem tbh

[rancid juniper]

hm ye

[unreal trail]

According to the PlayStation Blog, the PS5 disc edition has a power rating of 350Wh at full speed

[rancid juniper]

still lower than most gaming pc's

[elfin mural]

tegra in the switch was pretty good for arm back then

[unreal trail]

Switch runs like 40Wh

lol

and doesnt sound like a buzzsaw when starting a game

[rancid juniper]

no custom backgrounds

L

[elfin mural]

ah switch came out in 2017

well that's a bit slow

tegra x1 is 2015

[unreal trail]

the option has always been there, but nobody ever made any

[velvet summit]

buzzsaw?

[rancid juniper]

fr?

[misty sparrow]

Nintendo still has white and dark 7 years after launch

They could’ve made their own themes like with the 3DS but they didn’t

A theme store would make a lot of cash

[velvet summit]

i wouldnt want to buy themes

[misty sparrow]

you gotta buy themes on ps4 too just saying

some are free some are paid

[velvet summit]

i wouldnt want to buy themes on the ps4 either

[misty sparrow]

why not

At most they’re probably gonna be $5

[velvet summit]

ok that's a small lie, but only if there was a theme that i really like

[misty sparrow]

rectangles theme on ps4 is free and is the best one

[velvet summit]

but most likely, i wouldnt want to spend $5 on a theme

[misty sparrow]

it’s just funny really

ps5 and Switch ditched themes

not even a little color change or anything

can’t change it to red, blue, etc like with ps4 and 3DS

[mortal grail]

Oh my god

Yuzu was taken down because one of their patreon members snitched after they stopped windows 7 support

Bro ruined it for everyone LMAO

Cost the project millions

I can understand them dropping Win7 support

Outdated OS

Instead of asking them about Win7 support this dude didn’t ask questions and just snitched

[mortal grail]

Yes but then one dude emailed 93 dmca related nintendo addresses

Just because they ditched windows 7

That's absolutely insane to me windows 7 is like 15 years old LMAO

[misty sparrow]

I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten a virus yet

if he really wanted support he could’ve moved to Linux

15 year old OS and this dude is advocating for Win7 support

[mortal grail]

I'm more surprised the dude said anything publicly

He will be shot 😂

[rancid juniper]

[elfin mural]

lmao

some people are just that helpless

or hopeless

[rancid juniper]

i honestly cant really believe this

[elfin mural]

english broken

[rancid juniper]

its too wild to be true

but it is the internet so...

[elfin mural]

so nintendo wouldn't have even noticed yuzu?

[rancid juniper]

but aint no way nintendo did it because one person snitched tho

[misty sparrow]

well

[elfin mural]

without that one dude filing dmca

[rancid juniper]

nintendo already knew about yuzu way before then

[elfin mural]

they were probably waiting for an easy excuse

[misty sparrow]

I heard about this one guy that made a Mario Battle Royale before Nintendo did and 4Chan got pissy with the dev because he added anti cheat, so they just reported him to Nintendo

just goes to show the lengths people will go to to ruin the fun for everyone

[elfin mural]

lmao yeah

[mortal grail]

I'll send

[elfin mural]

"my old windows OS isn't supported, this is terrible REEEE DIE"

[misty sparrow]

[mortal grail]

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/rare-reeeeee-dank-meme-triggered-gif-24062717

[elfin mural]

yeah

it's more so corporate machines tho

like ATMs even

you can see their error dialogue being that of older windows lmao

personal? i don't think it's popular

[unreal trail]

nobody likes to spend money on maintenance which is why everything slowly decays and falls apart

[deep parcel]

its unfortunate that support for windows 7, 8, and 8.1 are ending for a lot of apps like Steam and Discord. But I guess its probably to improve a lot on the backend.

[elfin mural]

corporate hardware indeed

well, it's only fair

[misty sparrow]

How many more use XP over 7

[unreal trail]

a lot of hospital PCs are still using Win 7

big money

[rancid juniper]

cough

bloodborne people are coping hard about

[deep parcel]

I mean yeah... back then they were meant for terrible hardware... they only could optimize well on one system and hope and pray for it to run on another hardware system.

[unreal trail]

Nier Automata is another example.. ran terribly and had to be fixed with mods

FF7 Remake released with stutters, which was fixed with a mod

[deep parcel]

modders fix everything

its kinda crazy

[unreal trail]

which means the QA teams for these companies are trash

[deep parcel]

could also be due to time restraints and budgets...

[unreal trail]

budget cut = not running it through QA lol

I mean, time restraints are company created issues

keep the game until it's done

[velvet summit]

they fixed it several years later (basically right before the release of neir replicant ver 1.22474487

or after?

i forget when exactly

but they randomly were like, "yeah we're gonna release an update to fix the bugs plaging the pc port for several years soon"

and a few months later, they actually did

[velvet summit]

i mean, it could have been run through qa, and qa noted it, but they decided not to fix it

[velvet summit]

yes, a crucial step

or else time wont be as slow

[unreal trail]

I wonder how it went with the Symphonia remaster. QA sends a note "This game is barely running on every machine you're releasing it on." And corp decides to release it.

[velvet summit]

corp be like "nah i'd win"

Its the plastic body expanding prob

It just did it

[fair onyx]

In the time since I bought it, it's price reduced $100 (which I got back), and the warranty has been expanded to cover burn in

[lone mango]

Also does it when I sleep

[fair onyx]

If it's an old monitor, it happens. I have some older monitors that pop when they warm up/cool down

Specifically CFL monitors are prone to it

so like

1080p is copium

Hence me saying 7.5

It's not a good idea

Immense and searing pain in fact

1080p 360hz in fact

Then again that might just be me having unreasonable expectations

34 inch 3440x1440 175hz QD OLED panel with HDR400 True black, HDR 1000 peak. I had the Alienware version and it was good, but I returned it for this one

[grand kernel]

the listing image showed a 4 pin 12V RGB header with a huge red X over it and a green circled 3 pin 5V ARGB header

the listing description said only for use with 3 pin 5V ARGB

[rancid juniper]

ok

[mortal grail]

Yes, 100% true

[dusk knot]

Oh damn. You're officially team OLED

[fair onyx]

I was a few months ago, this one just took forever. I also have a super AMOLED phone, tablet, watch, and laptop now. All of my main devices are OLED

[rancid juniper]

bro, i dont really know what to say about this one

[fair onyx]

I love my top of the line displays. It's also kinda justified for my job

I work with image datasets and collection, need to have a good picture

[rancid juniper]

its like a game trying to help you out in many ways possible and the player still gets it wrong

[devout forum]

I'm really just trying to find a decent enough 1080p 144hz screen for crying out loud

one that preferably won't make me go bankrupt

[rancid juniper]

budget bro?

[grand kernel]

maybe he's the cuphead game journalist

[devout forum]

200-250 euros tops

[grand kernel]

jesus they're that expensive in hungary?

[rancid juniper]

thats it!

[devout forum]

Yeah, it's awful

like legitimately incredibly bad

[grand kernel]

1440p144hz is cheaper than that here

[rancid juniper]

newegg ships to hungary right?

[devout forum]

no shot

[grand kernel]

come visit and smuggle one home

[rancid juniper]

[devout forum]

Utterly ass in fact

[grand kernel]

international monitor shipping though... idk if that's gonna be cheaper

[rancid juniper]

🤔

[devout forum]

okay gimme a name you guys know and I'll give you price for comparison

now I'm genuinely curious

(and again, do note that prices here include 27% VAT so there is that)

That might be cheap enough

that's not that bad tbh

[rancid juniper]

wow...

[devout forum]

Entirely unavailable

[grand kernel]

I was expecting worse

[devout forum]

though again

I'd like a 1080p first

since I already have the 6700XT

[mortal grail]

Then don't get 6800xt

[devout forum]

and upgrade to 1440p with the 6800XT

[mortal grail]

Like ever

[grand kernel]

yeah that wasn't a recommendation just a monitor I'm aware of

[rancid juniper]

why is it that tech stuff in other countries preferably eastern hemisphere got wack prices

[devout forum]

Plan changed lmao

if you say 6800 XT can do 1440p

[rancid juniper]

like damn bruh they really dont want people to enjoy em

can you tell the difference

[mortal grail]

24G2 has been great for a long time

27 inch at 1080p okay?
I'm using a 24" 1080p right now and I have to be so close to see pixels that my eyes physically hurt

[grand kernel]

nothing nvidia does surprises me anymore

[grand kernel]

depends on your viewing distance

[devout forum]

like I need to be ~15cm at 24" to see pixels

[grand kernel]

I wasn't even bothered by 27" 720p personally

lol

[rancid juniper]

27" 720p?

🗿

[devout forum]

kekw

[rancid juniper]

that screams mid all over ngl

lmao

[grand kernel]

still couldn't see individual pixels from a viewing distance of around 1m

perhaps I am a blind old man

[devout forum]

24G2SPAE/BK is 63k
27G2SPAE/BK is 74k

[rancid juniper]

just get 24"

[grand kernel]

well I don't think I would pay more for 27" 1080p

[rancid juniper]

i think its enough for 1080p

[devout forum]

Current one is 24"

so I'd assume the pixel density would be the same

[mortal grail]

24 and 27" pixel density is different

[devout forum]

I mean with the 24

[pliant berry]

man I want a apple xdr display

[devout forum]

since it is the one costing less

so that's what I'll get

[pliant berry]

I could barely see the pixels with my face pressed to it

[devout forum]

27GP850P-B I think wins that competition
And the M27Q X costs so much more that I don't think it can improve enough

[grand kernel]

people are really weird about pixel density tbh

there are actual human beings out there that think 2560x1080 is not enough pixel density on a phone

[pliant berry]

ok well that is just stupid

[mortal grail]

I've had people argue with me 4K isn't enough for 27" before and that they can see pixels

[grand kernel]

the main thing I liked about my 1440p phone was that I could set it to 720p and it would still look good

[mortal grail]

While I was arguing with them from a similar 4K 27" monitor

[grand kernel]

battery life was incredible at 720p lol

[devout forum]

Yeah honestly, it is what it is

[mortal grail]

I'm like "yeah if you slam your face against it sure"

did they help you out at least?

i'll never fault a company for having a defective product as long as they take the appropriate lengths to make it right

or the defect rate is too high

well then

Who's this?

[north crescent]

27" 720p @ 1m is higher ppd than 24" 1440p @ 40cm. So eh, not really.

Did the theater have audio distortion or bad speakers?

Too loud?

[pliant berry]

I think it was Hobbs and Shaw that I saw that time. some distortion but my main complaint was the fact that my ears were ringing by the time it ended

Oof

I would blame the movie

It actually stays the same unless you keep on messaging and "spam" chat. When one kills chat they usually stop messaging and thus also die.

But you have a KD ratio

Ya no thanks

[velvet summit]

unironically, looking at the pricing, less than 100 pages per month is absolutely not worth it, but above 100 pages per month, then it makes sense

at least imo

i said this then someone asked me if i watched the wan show, and apparently linus also expressed a similar opinion

[rancid juniper]

😂

[craggy shoal]

You can get printers for that price 💀

[rough zinc]

They are pretty good except if you’re planning on any form of exercise with them

[junior willow]

So they're pretty heavy?

Even just walks are a no no? Or is just running and jogging off limits

[rough zinc]

No sweat resistance whatsoever

[junior willow]

Ohhhh

That sucks ngl

[rough zinc]

No IPX rating on them

[sour falcon]

Words alone cannot describe how much I loathe people who are paid to do jack sh*t

[rough zinc]

I guess you could try silicone ear cups but I’m not sure how well they would work

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyHeadphones/comments/v8pkkh/are_the_xm5s_good_for_the_gym/?rdt=40613

[sour falcon]

You’d think people in “Maintenance” would maintain stuff.

[rough zinc]

One post about it, but there’s a lot more about it

[junior willow]

That's so sucky wucky

Guess I'll add that to things to look for, for a new headset

[sour falcon]

I miss my sony earbuds lol

[rough zinc]

For exercising I can’t actually give a good recommendation, I just went down the wireless earbud route after looking into over ear headphones

[sour falcon]

I had the WF-XB700’s

[junior willow]

Literally every earbud pair I've ever used falls out of my ears and generally feels so bad when they're in, I think my ears are weirdly shaped

Otherwise I love the idea of wireless earbuds

[sour falcon]

They’re solid imo for earbuds, they never fell out

[rough zinc]

I almost got the WF-1000XM5s but went for the AirPod pros just for the location tracking and ease of connection between multiple devices

[sour falcon]

The WF-XB700’s are shaped weird so they don’t fall out

[rough zinc]

What earbuds have you tried?

[junior willow]

I tried the cheap ones you get at the airport for free, samsung wireless, samsung wired, and some weird off brand ones that went "ze bwuetoof devithe is ready tu pahr"

[velvet summit]

there is a pro to it, which is that it (thankfully) includes ink

and also if the printer breaks for any reason, they will replace it the next day

[craggy shoal]

I’m tired of all these subscriptions

Just let me own something

Just before the turn of the century

[sour falcon]

Early 2000’s were apart of that era 😭

Nope, early 2000s and late 1900s are a whole different thing

Y2K existed for one thing, two completely different eras
