[wary fjord]

wow

[cedar compass]

I have over 10 amd cpus around and no one buying it lol

they only buying 7950x

[cedar compass]

7950x is probably only good value amd cpu lol

fun thing is 12th gen cpus are currently decent lol

[misty sparrow]

I’m still on 8th gen intel

[cedar compass]

I using 14900k for work and 13600k for gaming

[junior willow]

Ngl I am considering buying a pair of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95s, but I'd feel so weird wearing a grand on my head tbh

I don't think I ever want to wear something that expensive

[cedar compass]

lol

I don't feel like I need something more than Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro

[junior willow]

They also look so gaudy imo, I really like simple designs

[junior willow]

Oh those look nice

[cedar compass]

using earbuds outside. and dt990 at home

[mortal grail]

pls not in that cringe gold

[junior willow]

Absolutely not, I'd die before I wore any gold on any part of my body

[mortal grail]

oh god that was the most stressful 20 seconds

the name didn't assume any confidence in ur answer

[junior willow]

That's why I'm saying they look so gaudy, even the black ones look like a snobby white collar goober would wear them

[mortal grail]

I mean tbf, B&O are historically just premium

I personally like my hd560s', though you seem like you'd be more than familiar with those

[cedar compass]

I had HD599 SE . its good one . pretty similar to 990pro but more comfy

they were like 70 or 80$ at amazon for awhile lol

[junior willow]

Whats that supposed to mean

[mortal grail]

I got the impression you might have some good clue in to decent audio

that's all it meant and nothing more

[junior willow]

Oh I have no clue about audio

[mortal grail]

lol

[junior willow]

But I appreciate the compliment

I just didn't know what to make of it

My headphones for the last couple of years have been skullcandy hesh 3

[mortal grail]

oh man

[junior willow]

Which I got for free since Amazon made a shipping error

[cedar compass]

150$ can get you good neutral sounding headphones. anythin above it is questionable

[mortal grail]

anything good will be a huge upgrade then haha

PC38X pretty stonks

[junior willow]

Really? Ngl I thought they sounded super great

[mortal grail]

skullcandy iirc, is typically extremely bass heavy

[junior willow]

I could hear all the intricate little things in my favorite songs, but then again I was only using the free airport earbuds and my phone speakers before that

[mortal grail]

ye

sound is all relative

when you hear it through better, you'll notice it being better

[junior willow]

I'm gonna be so spoiled when I get a new pair I'm so excited

[mortal grail]

ears adjust really easily

[cedar compass]

if you need something for home , just buy 990 pro

[mortal grail]

even pretty meh sets, your ears would adjust to them in a couple minutes

but it all depends on what you want to spend

[junior willow]

I go on walks, and I'm joining the air force so I'll be traveling a ton so probably plane use as well

[mortal grail]

imo I'd go for a dac+amp as well

[junior willow]

Idk just basic use for me, but I probably won't change my pc headset since they're precious to me

[mortal grail]

so just like general use then

[cedar compass]

I'd say jbl tune 760nc but its build quality sux

[pliant berry]

what sites do people use for custom keeb parts

[mortal grail]

@young matrix give dis man a recc

can be wired

[junior willow]

But I'd definitely like a new headset, since my current hesh 3s skip and freeze the audio when I take a step or bend down or turn my head

Since I think it interrupts the Bluetooth connection

[mortal grail]

that sounds like it ye

[junior willow]

Ngl now that I say it out loud they're kinda running on hopes and prayers

[mortal grail]

how much are you willing to spend

[pliant berry]

I like my airpods pro for travel, walks, etc

[junior willow]

Idk like a max budget of like 1k? Only bc I'd feel uncomfortable wearing more expensive than that

Tbh anything under a grand is fine but probably like 500 preferably

[pliant berry]

wait what 1k for headphones

[sweet phoenix]

Hold up

$1000 for headphones

[cedar compass]

thats a lot lol

[mortal grail]

ok so anything reasonable

[pliant berry]

focal bathys nice bluetooth set

[junior willow]

I mean I'm not going to spend 1k but thats the max I'm willing to spend

[mortal grail]

[junior willow]

Yes basically

[mortal grail]

I'd invest in an amp set then

e.g schitt stack

topping dx3+ pro

[junior willow]

I didn't wanna say "price is no object" because I don't know how deep the rabbit whole goes

[sweet phoenix]

More than say $150 is silly imo, $400 if you're very into audio

[mortal grail]

then a good set with it

[junior willow]

Are those bluetooth

[mortal grail]

the topping does bluetooth

though you really want wired

wired + long cable no good?

[junior willow]

This is for my phone btw

I don't have a set up or anything

Just something for general use like airplanes and walks and assorted stuff

[mortal grail]

if you got some nice iems

you can use those with the topping for example

as well as out

[junior willow]

My phone has no headphones jack so I was hoping for wireless but idk

[mortal grail]

different spectrum to a headset though, but if you like them, usually great

ah

apple has a usb c to audio jack adapter

[pliant berry]

there are always the standard reccs. like airpod pro, airpod max, maybe like the qc35. bathys if you flashy

[mortal grail]

$8

it comes with a dac, quite good for $8

[junior willow]

I have a Samsung would it still work

[mortal grail]

yes ofc

[junior willow]

Ah ok mb

[mortal grail]

it's ok

[junior willow]

I realize now that was a schtewpid question innit

[mortal grail]

not really

[pliant berry]

never know what apple might pull next

[junior willow]

Ngl I am NOT an audiophile but I do like sound and build quality and battery life

[cedar compass]

did you check sennheiser momentum 4 ?

[mortal grail]

are you comfortable with in ear sets

[junior willow]

Those are my top three things I want in a headset

[junior willow]

Yes I was checking those out a bit

[junior willow]

My ears are weirdly shaped, nothing I try fits and stays in

[cedar compass]

Marshall monitor 2 is also good

[mortal grail]

https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

[pliant berry]

something like airpods max has pretty nice build. good sound quality. idk what the battery life is but they just look kinda goofy to me and no power button

[cedar compass]

meh just buy 1000mx4 and call it a day lol

if you using android phone you can use LDAC codac which is hi-res

[young matrix]

Huh

I only know IEMs

[mortal grail]

painge

[pliant berry]

xm4 and xm5 are popular go to's but I feel they are too muddy

[young matrix]

Galaxy buds pro 2, airpods pro 2, truthear zero red, blessing dusk 2

[mortal grail]

I figured you might know something

[wary fjord]

the 1st one says Discontinued by Manufacturer)

[young matrix]

Thats like the only good good stuff ik th

[mortal grail]

[cedar compass]

been looking for shure se215 pro

[wary fjord]

wait nvm its he1

[cedar compass]

I used it before and it sounds good actually. but make sure you not using it with iphone lol

couse iphone all have aac 256kbps

[junior willow]

Mk so either xm5, xm4, momentum 4, or marshal monitor ii,

[mortal grail]

is iphone still on that cringe format

I remember aac 256 back when they had the first ipod

[tranquil pebble]

cringemat

[cedar compass]

yeah . Sony have LDAC , snapdragon have APTX HD , Samsung have Seemles audio format while apple stuck at aac 256kbps lol

[junior willow]

Are we just using newspeak here now

[pliant berry]

yeah it's still aac

[tranquil pebble]

1984

[junior willow]

Literally 1984

[mortal grail]

would consider any of infinity's suggestions if you are open to them

[pliant berry]

some of those you can even try in a local best buy or something

[junior willow]

Oh yeah you're right, maybe I should shop around irl too

Tbh if my best pair is hesh 3s, idk if I have any basis to judge yet

But tysm for your help guys, I appreciate it

[pliant berry]

if you were in ny i think canjam is coming up too if ya really wanted to do a deep dive

[cedar compass]

lol if youre willing to pay 600$ you can buy Focal Bathys

[tranquil pebble]

Accidentally bit my tongue... ouch

[pliant berry]

bite it again

[mortal grail]

man that design is...

[pliant berry]

2nd time makes it better

[mortal grail]

anyone with tryptophobia don't search focal bathys

[pliant berry]

I had focal celestees at one point. dynamics were amazing but a bit heavy design

[elfin mural]

i only have experience with chinese iems

cuz im cheap

they're genuinely good tho

[cedar compass]

lol never thought about it

[pliant berry]

Sometimes I question myself with how much is spent in audio

[cedar compass]

over 150$ is useless mostly

[rancid juniper]

Not really an audio geek if it has sound then that's fine with me

[cedar compass]

100-150$ gets you good headphones

[elfin mural]

pc38x

[rancid juniper]

Rip $10 sony headphones

[junior willow]

This was definitely a challenge and I accepted

[mortal grail]

rip free aeroplane headphones

[junior willow]

I now know I have trypophobia

[cedar compass]

I still loving my DT990 Pros

[elfin mural]

i got qkz ak6 max for my iems

only 5 bucks

[pliant berry]

my brother has 990 pros. I liked em but it's a bit too harsh in the treble for me over long periods of time

[cedar compass]

with 250ohm you can use them at crazy high volumes lol

[wary fjord]

ryunjix updated their ui looks like it belongs to win 11 now

[rancid juniper]

Is that the phobia of holes or sum?

[rancid juniper]

Looks sleek

I like

[wary fjord]

they have grid now

[pliant berry]

you back to ryunjix now that yuzu dead?

[mortal grail]

I love that game

[rancid juniper]

Bro really loves bayonetta

[junior willow]

🤨

[rancid juniper]

I gotta play em

[wary fjord]

i think i set the icon too small

now it looks fine

[rancid juniper]

What

[mortal grail]

many holes

[rancid juniper]

Looks at beehive:

[mortal grail]

yeah valid

[rancid juniper]

I think I have a tolerance for it

Beehives are fine

But

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/here-she-comes-look-around-holes-zero-gif-21867282

[rancid juniper]

There are some others that shouldn't exist

☠️

[mortal grail]

a lot of people have a tolerance

[cedar compass]

lol I never get that phobia lol

why someone should scare because holes

[mortal grail]

I mean that's the core of a phobia tho

[rancid juniper]

Search up some images for 5 minutes then come back

[mortal grail]

it's irrational

[rancid juniper]

[misty sparrow]

the case for them looks like...uhm..well...

clothing

certain clothing

[pliant berry]

the case is arguably one of apple's worst product decisions ever

[tranquil pebble]

fear of irrational numbers makes irrational a pun

[misty sparrow]

and the lack of a power button is on purpose because the headset dynamically goes to sleep when unused

is this thing worth $500? nah

is it innovative? hell no

[rancid juniper]

Recently I saw one's airpods +case fell out of a high amusement ride and smashed into pieces

Someone picked them up

[misty sparrow]

were the designers clearly wanting a girlfriend? yes

[pliant berry]

I will say it is pretty comfortable and sounds decent enough. anc is good. design is just weird. case is awful

[cedar compass]

I have a phobia too actually but it rarely hits me . I feel uncomfortable at tight places

[pliant berry]

brb going back to apple store to pick a pair up

[rancid juniper]

Sigh, gotta lock you in a box now

[cedar compass]

lol good thing is elevators have mirrors etc now

[rancid juniper]

😂

[cedar compass]

but still it sometimes hits me in elevator

[rancid juniper]

Dang, imagine it got stuck

☠️

[misty sparrow]

ive seen some good sennheiser headphones around the same price as Airpods Max

really to me they're only good once they drop that lightning port

[cedar compass]

I used to get stuck in elevator when im kid lol because we had soviet era elevator that always breaking lol

[misty sparrow]

they still use them

[elfin mural]

you can cope with adapters at least

if you really want

[rancid juniper]

iPhone memepods

[cedar compass]

living in eastern europe isn't joke bro lol

[pliant berry]

for that class Id say they'd compare to something like the bathys or maxwell

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

goes to show how wack contract hiring is and also that weird time limit they got

[mortal grail]

yeah ikr

really explains why MS studios have been on the decline for exclusive titles

and the MAD respect I have for one guy and 3 others to make the game environments look like they do

[sinful blade]

Hey @mortal grail

Hwehwehwe

[wary fjord]

this hairstyle is quite hard to maintain even on fast moving battle

xD

[dusk knot]

Lmaoooo

That's not right

He shouldn't have any eye bags

[unreal trail]

I guess they figured nobody would see it in the middle of battle

[icy ore]

[dusk knot]

War changes people ig

All that mental wear even gets cloud

[unreal trail]

honestly I think two different studios modelled the hair and the bodies separately

[dusk knot]

Smh

At least Tifa is better now

Hehe....

But I need to finish part one

[unreal trail]

Tifa has been the best part of this game tbh

[dusk knot]

All great characters

[idle nexus]

lol when you're older than like 30-32ish & have people who depend on you (typically kids), you'll feel like you have no choice lol

[rancid juniper]

No I have to drive home from work

I am going to get a burger on my way home but not from McDonald's

No

[chrome mirage]

What do you mean by thwack. The crash had no sound and was very slow and comfortable.

My passengers didn't even know we crashed until I told them

[sinful blade]

do you not punch the person beside you if you see a beetle?

[chrome mirage]

Oh, I thought you were adding sound effects to my crash

I don't punch people when I see a beetle but it used to bring me joy to see people punch each other as I drove by

[sinful blade]

gooooood, goooood

I'm thinking about getting another beetle and swapping a golf r32 drivetrain so I can have all wheel drive

An o2 sensor and that’s it
For now

[chrome mirage]

That's easy

[sinful blade]

Oh, and the license plate

[sinful blade]

It’s the only thing that’s kept my engine light on

And the fact I need an oil change like 4K miles ago

[chrome mirage]

I just leave it on so I know the engine is still there

[sinful blade]

Mood

[chrome mirage]

My car needed an oil change a year ago and I just did it yesterday

Here's where Honda decided was the best spot for the oil filter

[sinful blade]

…why

[chrome mirage]

Because engineers hate mechanics

[sinful blade]

Don’t worry, my brake line blew and needed replacing

I had to take my gas tank and back axle off to replace it

[chrome mirage]

I almost had to remove my engine to replace the VTEC solenoid because it was behind the exhaust manifold

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/ew-no-michael-scott-steve-carrell-gif-5435193150565204905

My arm was cut up all the way to my shoulder by the time I fixed it because my arm was too big to fit behind the engine. Luckily oil was spraying out of the solenoid and it made it easier to force my arm in there.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/viasat-drops-contracts-data-caps-to-compete-with-starlink

[wary fjord]

still expensive

150 for 99 xD

99 is enough here to get 1gbps

hmm india beat me on cheapest 1gbps xD it only cost 19 usd on them haha

[elfin mural]

it's to do with the difference in buying power tbh

[elfin mural]

im certain it's always gigabit in terms of internet packages

still 125 megabytes per second is a heck of a lot of speed for downloading stuff

1 gigabyte for less than a minute

[devout forum]

we have 2 gigabit fiber internet available for consumers now

[elfin mural]

https://www.pcgamesn.com/how-to-make-pc-case-dust-filter

talk about weird

fair enough

[chrome mirage]

I have a lot of friends who live in places where internet is hard to get. One of them upgraded from 5mbps internet to starlink and it was cheaper then what he paid before

Also my grandma lives in the woods and went from having no internet to being able to stream 4k Netflix so it was a huge upgrade for her.

[devout forum]

Vodafone offers 250, 500 and gigabit over cable (whether old cable TV standard or RJ45)
Telekom offers 250, 500, gigabit and 2 gigabit, all optical
Digi offers 500 and gigabit over cable

[elfin mural]

im happy with just 300-500 megabits tbh

[devout forum]

And Telekom also offers 24/7 online status (via a mobile data stick in the back of the router in case of maintenance) with the Gigabit Pro and 2 gigabit packages

[elfin mural]

cheap as heck as well

plans start at like 10-15 depending on isp and add-ons

like tv box

[devout forum]

honestly the only annoying thing with Telekom is the optical requirement

since you're forced to use their routers

[elfin mural]

my phone in the area im in gets about 100 mbps with 5g

[devout forum]

I get an average of 850 down and 30 up over cable

[elfin mural]

upload is hella slow, carrier moment

5 mbps up lol

[chrome mirage]

I'm lucky if I get a good enough signal for calling nevermind 5g

[devout forum]

Just now:
DOWNLOAD Mbps
907.57
UPLOAD Mbps
41.08
Ping ms 15 34 44

actually up speeds above average

[elfin mural]

im 30 km away from city yet i get 5g

surprisingly

[chrome mirage]

I can see 3 cell towers from my house and still have to walk around outside for a bit to find a good signal to call someone.

[elfin mural]

my wifi is 400 up and down

[devout forum]

1000 Mbit/s maximal down and 40 Mbit/s maximal up, claimed average of 700/28 Mbit/s

but I'm consistently around 800-850 down and 35-40 up

[mortal grail]

Hey

Got any of that bandwidth to share

[devout forum]

I also have limitations to my connection to our router due to EM interference and old cables

[mortal grail]

Who

Hi

[devout forum]

but 800 down 40 up is

Honestly plenty unless you plan on streaming, then uploads become a bottleneck

IDK how much you'd need to play online and stream 1080p at the same time

but I reckon it might get bottlenecked with upload speeds

well we have an ISP provided router due to needing a TV cable bridge

since our internet is on the old cable TV spec

with the round connector

[elfin mural]

i like free routers

[devout forum]

It works tho

Like

[elfin mural]

routers are expensive

[devout forum]

It just works

It only goes to the router

Router spits out RJ45s

the problem here is that basically no ISP is using standard RJ45 for their end of the cable so you're effectively forced to use their routers to convert from optical/TV cable to RJ45

On the flip side, you don't need a router of your own, there is already 4 full-fat gigabit ports
if you need more, just buy a basic unmanaged switch and you're off to the races

Fun fact our internet is entirely unprotected from surges

Yes my stepdad who's the "owner" of the connection just doesn't give a crap

I'm legit gonna spend money on buying 4 RJ45 surge protectors and protected outlets just to remedy that

just need to figure out how to properly ground the things

y'know with those aligator clips coming off of it

I mean yeah that's fair but 4 UPSs would cost a fortune

I might still get myself a 2200VA UPS anyway

but it's just easier to get a SurgeArrest and unplug internet when there is a storm

When I get like a 7900 XTX

Then I'll worry about getting a full UPS setup to my room

not really when 7700xt is a faster card

dlss? fsr 3

way more common too

also moddable into games running dx 12

[deep parcel]

The main issue I have with 4060s is the memory bandwidth

Bus width size smol

[elfin mural]

drivers of rdna 3 is also pretty decent

4060ti despite 16gb of vram is essentially 3060ti with wasted ram

if not worse

adrenalin is fine?

i have experience with a laptop using amd and nvidia

nvidia's software only has one thing going for it

or well, two

rtx voice and blender

dlss features match fsr 3

they're not important enough to sacrifice a good bit of performance for

[devout forum]

-NVENC isn't so dominant that it's worth spending over
-FSR3
-RT is still a gimmick and will be for at least another gen
-Adrenaline is probably still more useful
-old nGreedAI software has been awful

[elfin mural]

rt on what is a 3060ti class performance is irrelevant

[devout forum]

they're only now rolling out new software and it's about the same as Adrenaline

[elfin mural]

games are so unreasonably heavy these days

[devout forum]

But it's not 2%?

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/_LEBEqsCwiM

7700xt has better rt btw

ironically

it's because nvidia got lazy pretty much

4060ti is no go unless it's like 300 I guess

[mortal grail]

😂😂😂

So true

4060 Ti needs to be something like

350? 340? I forgot the price/fps calc

Before the 8gb is worth it

[elfin mural]

16gb is even less worth it

[mortal grail]

16gb is just a weird sku, it should've been 12gb

Just one for both right in the middle

[steel dagger]

Give it a year

[mortal grail]

12gb would justify it to me to be somewhere like 380

[elfin mural]

a year and amd will still drop price

[mortal grail]

I'm gonna be ur best friend

[elfin mural]

lower than nvidia btw

[steel dagger]

Maybe if you play roblox

[mortal grail]

You are totally right

[elfin mural]

3060 to this date is like

300

[mortal grail]

Games don't really need more than 8

[steel dagger]

Must not be shopping in the right areas

[mortal grail]

Speaking 1080p ofc

[elfin mural]

btw this is pcpartpicker price

8gb is honestly all a game would need unless you go 4k or smth

[mortal grail]

I think even alan wake 2 just released an optimisation patch putting it under 8

Could be wrong

[steel dagger]

I ordered an 8 gb 4060ti for 260$ new off amazon

[devout forum]

that doesn't mean 8 is enough

[mortal grail]

Games that cache a lot to vram are working to a standard the industry refuted to be ready for

[devout forum]

it just means that devs still have to listen to the players

[elfin mural]

i was talking about 3060

[mortal grail]

So pick your poison who's the one at fault there

[devout forum]

VRAM reqs WILL go up as we go to the new gen consoles

they're not gonna downgrade

[elfin mural]

and that's a decent price for 4060ti 8gb

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NGcgXL/asus-dual-oc-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-12-gb-video-card-dual-rtx3060-o12g-white

cheapest 3060 as of current

$289

[mortal grail]

Wow and white

Still a bit high but not disgusting

[elfin mural]

meh price

[mortal grail]

You could chalk that up to white tax

Do a 7600+3060 build in full white

Ez white build

Bit unbalanced tho

Ye

[devout forum]

No?

[mortal grail]

It's a huge can of worms though

[devout forum]

If you look at the limitations, kinda not really IMO

the real problem is that consoles can now have as much as 12gb of VRAM at any time

since unified memory

[elfin mural]

kinda

[mortal grail]

Therein lying the bulk of the problem for a lot of titles

[devout forum]

so something will have to budge

[mortal grail]

Yes

Nvidia knows they can't get away with it again

Next gen should have double density gddr7

[devout forum]

It's either game devs not using so much VRAM

or nGreedAI needing to add more VRAM so people keep buying

[elfin mural]

if next gen has no gddr7

[mortal grail]

The gddr7 spec was just finalised which is promising for next gen

[devout forum]

Should, yes

Will it tho?

[elfin mural]

i'll be sadge

[devout forum]

I'm fully expecting Team Green to ignore GDDR7

[mortal grail]

I really hope we don't get a double sided card like the 3090 again

[devout forum]

because it'd "drive the price up too much"

[elfin mural]

gddr7 is a lot less hotter

[mortal grail]

They won't.

They never do, nvidia is often the first

[devout forum]

AKA it'd lower profit margins

[elfin mural]

gddr6x is wholly replaced by gddr7

and nvidia was always the first to use latest standard

[devout forum]

5090 maybe
5060 having 8gb GDDR6 still will cause a riot

Y'know the cards that people actually can afford

[elfin mural]

gddr7 across the whole lineup

[mortal grail]

90 was ye, 90Ti, 80Ti and 80 were all single sided

[devout forum]

I'm not so optimistic

but maybe I'll be wrong

I hope I will be

[mortal grail]

90Ti they moved to 2gb chips

[elfin mural]

amd im not sure if they're gonna use gddr7 tho

[mortal grail]

Vanilla 90 they later moved to 2gb

[elfin mural]

it might be the revised gddr6

[mortal grail]

It's 12gb tho

[devout forum]

maybe I'm just overly depressed about the hellscape this generation is

[idle nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/bluey-bandit-bingo-chilli-family-gif-17774152

[mortal grail]

That's 500mb per chip

Ye

[elfin mural]

i don't care about this whole thing, all i care is reccing people build lists

[mortal grail]

So it's one side of chips

They have 12 pads one side for 12x1gb

[idle nexus]

"omg ggood it's been like 2 months" nice to see you too damn

[elfin mural]

welcome bacc

[mortal grail]

E.g

90

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-strix-lc-liquid-cooled/3.html

See where the pads are

No chips underneath the pads on the back

Just pads

[elfin mural]

TIL asus also has a dac as well

something apple dongle style

[mortal grail]

No chips lol

Yes that manual is for all GA102

Like all waterblocks

The cards are all compatible 80 through 90

My alphacool manual is like that

I used to have an asus 3090 on a block

They're cross compatible pcbs

Either you have some crazy frankenstein 80Ti or that's actually a 3090 lol

I've never heard of an 80Ti with double sided chips

Rather all of 30 series has afaik used 1gb or 2gb modules

Oh lol

Those aren't vram chips tho

I've been talking about vram

Alright slight miscommunication then

I thought you meant these were on an 80ti lol

[austere tree]

Hello

I want get a laptop shipped to a US address but im intl

should i do normal credit card payment or use pay pal

[elfin mural]

paypal for less fees

[austere tree]

So my payment wouldnt be declined if i use a internationally issued visa credit card

[elfin mural]

nope

it's just the matter of fees

[austere tree]

Newegg delivers to freight forwarders? Im not planning on using a forwarder but yeah out of curiosity

[austere tree]

So theres additional fees orher than sales tax

[elfin mural]

freight forwarders should take newegg afaik

[elfin mural]

yes, like transaction fee

[austere tree]

Always make sure the site is using HTTPS when you need to input personal information
Always verify that the SSL certificate is valid and the proper one for the site

And www is not used anymore; there's just simply a cname record for www that redirects you to the A record

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/LsYHPQHaGvI?si=MrUtpv9r5zxwuvpW @mortal grail

Goes to show how memory bandwidth can affect the card HEAVILY despite it having more computational power

[craggy shoal]

I can't watch the video rn. Which one is better?

[rancid juniper]

The 7900GRE is better but the performance difference is slim

[craggy shoal]

Ah gotcha

[tranquil pebble]

probably helps alot if you can memory OC on it

[craggy shoal]

I might as well get the one with the lower TDP lol

[rancid juniper]

Yes but as of now the memory oc is still artificially limited

AMD is finding a fix for it

Which is bogus when the card launched nearly a year ago

[rancid juniper]

They both have the same default tdp believe it or not

😂

[craggy shoal]

Yo interesting

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[craggy shoal]

I wonder if it's gonna be one of those "driver updates will help it" things like with most of Intel and also the 7800 XT

[mortal grail]

Ye that's what I'm afraid of

[rancid juniper]

I mean I guess it makes sense now when people are demanding an unlocked version of memory oc

[mortal grail]

I want to see the OC ability from it

[rancid juniper]

The 7900XT card has like 800GB/s memory speed right?

If so then that 7900GRE is hella crippled

[mortal grail]

Idk, I know it's significantly less than the 7900xt

Cos bit bus

[rancid juniper]

Same chip, cut down heavily

Wild stuff

[tranquil pebble]

I generally avoid buying crippled cards

[rancid juniper]

GTX 1060 3GB
RX 580 2048sp
Some random Radeon HD card

Hmm was it 7850?

[mortal grail]

Damn when it be tryin doe

GRE almost a testament itself to why bit bus shrinking is so cancer

Nvidia: oh we saved costs
AMD: hold muh beer

[tranquil pebble]

meanwhile R9 Fury X with 4096 bit bus...

[rancid juniper]

😂

[mortal grail]

Hold muh beer

[gritty forge]

What yall even talking about

[elfin mural]

7900 gre

[rancid juniper]

7900 GRE a card that was once limited to the chinese market now launched worldwide, known for being a heavily cutdown 7900XT

to hit the $550 price range

[elfin mural]

gre is one of the best answers to nvidia's practices

[rancid juniper]

ye ig

[elfin mural]

even 7700xt for 10 less than 4060ti is a better deal

faster raster

behind in rt but that's not relevant

[mortal grail]

Also the worst

[elfin mural]

how so?

[mortal grail]

As I keep saying that bit bus is cringe

Lmao

[elfin mural]

ah

[mortal grail]

80 (7900gre) vs 84 cu (7900xt)

Yet so much slower cos bit bus and memory

[elfin mural]

the bit bus on gre

sadge

[mortal grail]

Tdp as well

[elfin mural]

but it still smacking 4070 super isn't too bad

ew

[mortal grail]

Nuh uh

[gritty forge]

DAMN PLS PLS PLS

I need 2 of those

[rancid juniper]

if the bit bus was raised it would've been more expensive

so it cant be possible

[gritty forge]

Imma use it to buy jjk game

[rancid juniper]

however just raising memory speed could've been cheaper than bit bus

[elfin mural]

but pls

[rancid juniper]

why does it have to be slower than a 7800XT?

[mortal grail]

If it cost $50 more, had a 256 bit bus and a 320W power limit

[elfin mural]

bit bus, don't shrink

[mortal grail]

It would've almost matched the 7900xt

[elfin mural]

yeah that's too close

way too close

[rancid juniper]

didnt raising the power of the 7900GRE didnt do anything in raising perf?

[elfin mural]

segmentation reasons

[mortal grail]

It did a lot

[rancid juniper]

oh

[mortal grail]

Look at the nitro

[elfin mural]

literally nitro

using nitrous to boost gpu

[rancid juniper]

you're paying $100 more over the 7800xt

[mortal grail]

Something like 5% more performance* for having a higher power target lol

With the glitch fixed it may be even higher

[elfin mural]

but 600 is kinda worth it

i say kinda

[mortal grail]

Meh

4070 super exists at 600

[mortal grail]

It's a tough sell imo

[rancid juniper]

see

[mortal grail]

8.4%

Damn that gpu clock doe

Why not 2900

So low

[gritty forge]

Am I the stupid one?

[rancid juniper]

Sapphire GRE Pulse is the best one in terms of power/perf

270w average

[gritty forge]

For thinking clock doesn't add that much

[mortal grail]

Steel legend

[rancid juniper]

not really no

[mortal grail]

You're right

[gritty forge]

Ah

[mortal grail]

But also every bit helps

[rancid juniper]

yea

[gritty forge]

Bcs like I remember back in the gtx10 days

[rancid juniper]

you can have a very powerful card with low core clocks

[gritty forge]

AMD already having 2000mhz

[mortal grail]

Clock does a lot more on nvidia and intel

Than AMD

[gritty forge]

And Nvidia having the same if not better fps at 1400mhz

[mortal grail]

On AMD clock is closer to a flex than actual improvement

[rancid juniper]

FX MOMENT

[gritty forge]

Not on the 2060

[elfin mural]

and fake cores

[gritty forge]

I went from 300fps in a 2060

To 200fps after 10mhz overclock

[mortal grail]

On radeon you want faster memory way over faster core

[gritty forge]

And returned to normal

[elfin mural]

fx the bulldozer that almost bulldozed amd with it

[gritty forge]

Went to 160fps

[mortal grail]

The beauty of cards that have no oc headroom

[gritty forge]

This in csgo ofc

[elfin mural]

oof

[gritty forge]

I returned to the normal

And it got even worse

Do what your hearts says you to do

Thanks Microsoft! Nice English you got there

[worn wave]

So I was thinking a bit about the bots/spammers because I get annoyed at how often channels are marked unread and don't have any real new messages.

If the bot/spammer is sending identical messages in multiple channels one after another, would it be possible to implement some sort of timeout to keep them from spamming like every channel?

i.e 2 identical messages in 2 different channels will auto trigger a 30s timeout which gives automod or whatever time to detect those 2 messages as spam

[gritty forge]

I don't think it's automod tho

And no, I don't think discord API can do that

Make sure that nothing is hitting the fan without opening the PSU
Other than that, there are no other recommendations other than RMA

[next knoll]

Would like an answer

[elfin mural]

because the answer is complicated

if it's the same platform, like intel lga 1700

[next knoll]

Is there a visible difference

[elfin mural]

yeah, ddr5 is faster

but if the platform is made for ddr4 only

then ddr5 isn't a comparison

[next knoll]

Platform as in a software?

[velvet summit]

Hardware

[elfin mural]

hardware, the motherboard and cpu

if the hardware supports both ddr4 and ddr5, ddr5 is better

[next knoll]

How is ddr5 compatible then

Okay so it's better

[velvet summit]

Technically better

[elfin mural]

make sure your cpu and board supports ddr5 to use it

ddr4 ram doesn't physically fit anyway

[velvet summit]

First gen ddr5 was basically the same performance as high end ddr4

First gen as in when ddr5 first came out

[next knoll]

So ddr5 is better

Thanks

[velvet summit]

Yeah

[elfin mural]

there was an age where one board had ddr2 and ddr3 slots lmao
