Does wallpaper engine have a big impact on performance

unless you run it at high FPS or something

it still does have an impact, but you can always close it when you're gaming

I feel like an idiot for asking
But why do people like speed charging their phone and why is it bad

rancid juniper
#

speed charging?

#

for me i would charge before i go to bed once

#

phone can last atleast 1 1/2 day

elfin mural
#

it's not that bad actually

#

as long as you don't let it get super hot

rancid juniper
#

๐Ÿ’€

elfin mural
#

besides, fast charging is adaptive

#

those 60w and higher only hit that peak for a bit

rancid juniper
#

oh yall talking about the fat bricks

elfin mural
#

then slow down

rancid juniper
#

the ones that can make it charge fast

elfin mural
#

they're tiny these days kekw

rancid juniper
#

well for my phone it can heat up but not to a point where its hot to the touch

rancid juniper

gallium nitride tech made charging more efficient

RTX 3060 Ti Test in 25 Games in Early 2024 - 1440p Ultra Settings

In this video, I test the RTX 3060 Ti in 25 games at 1440p ultra settings on an i5 12400f and 32GB RAM system. The RTX 3060 Ti is one of the best-value GPUs in 2024, offering great performance for a reasonable price. But how well does it handle the latest and most demanding games...

But I can saturate a 165hz 1080p

Get a good 24" 1080

wooden marten

i have one

looks awful

mortal grail

Which tho

rancid juniper

so the bigger the monitor in lower resolutions, the worse it gets

right?

mortal grail

Yep

Ppi reduces as screen gets bigger

rancid juniper

ah

#

no wonder why 1440p looks fine on my 27" monitor

devout forum
rancid juniper

or maybe i have bad eyes lmao

mortal grail

24" can look a bit meh too at 1080p, but it all depends on the monitor

Reviews dont help tbh

rancid juniper
#

seeing a 1080p monitor for like $200 rubs me the wrong way tbh

mortal grail
devout forum
#

But OLED PC monitors are just too expensive

#

And yeah 1440p for 3060 Ti is pretty iffy

wooden marten
#

Reviews for my current monitor said its image quality is sharp and good

rancid juniper
#

also if you're going to use 1440p on 3060ti be weary of the vram

wooden marten
mortal grail
#

I'd make the personal take that ultra 1080p would look good

rancid juniper
#

higher res = more vram consumption

mortal grail
#

Vs 1440p low

devout forum
#

I'd reckon you'd want at least like a 6800 XT for that
Or a 3070/Super/Ti/4070

mortal grail
#

Which monitor

devout forum
mortal grail
#

Cos if you give me the name of a good one I would be able to empathise more

rancid juniper

devout forum
#

24" 1080p is pretty much the ideal spot for PPI iirc

mortal grail
lone mango
devout forum
#

Like TECHNICALLY 20/22" 1080p would be higher PPI but those are odd sizes for mother glass or something idk never really looked up why

mortal grail
#

@devout forum btw this px248 is the same as the 24g2 you're recommending

rancid juniper
#

but as long as you like it

#

then fine with me

lone mango
#

Was expensive too in 2018

devout forum
rancid juniper
mortal grail
#

24g2 is decent

lone mango
mortal grail

But if that's not good enough then I see where this comes from

devout forum

24G2 is like the meta pick for budget here

lone mango
#

My brother has some ips panel and it does look better than mine

Tbf modern VA are not garbage

Old VA panels were like vaseline all over the screen

But a modern, good VA panel is kinda decent

#

Dem deep VA blacks are pretty

mortal grail
#
#

Don't get vg271u

#

It's a much older version of 272u

#

Tho I wouldn't stick it out forever on a 3060ti, I'd consider an upgrade in the near future

wooden marten
#

Ill try 1440p and if im fine w the preformance then ill keep it if not then I can just return it

#

I dont mind using dlss

mortal grail
#

Used 4070 would be good if you can't afford a new psu

wooden marten
#

I think my psu is fine

#

750w

mortal grail
#

Somewhere about 380-400

#

Ah

devout forum
#

I mean a 3060 Ti even with DLSS is gonna be kinda rough on 1440p

mortal grail
#

Could do something stronger then

#

Like 6800xt/7800xt

#

4070 super

#

But all down to what you'd prefer

devout forum
#

7900 GRE is really good if you're okay with AMD

wooden marten
#

I dont want to go really overbudget though

devout forum

Long-term that is

mortal grail

Sure, just leaving the suggestions there tho

#

Not saying it's totally necessary and must do

lone mango
# rancid juniper ULTRA CONDOLENCES WHAT DA HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I think when I get a desk and have the monitor further away from me I will like it more but I do think about getting a new one eventually because ever since I moved to this new place my monitor be flickering from time to time. Not like off and on flickering, like the backlight gets brighter and dimmer and I notice it on the corners of the monitor. Doesnt do it anymore tho sobbing

rancid juniper
#

For entry 1440p I recommend 6700xt

devout forum
#

It's kinda funny that a 7900GRE is pretty much a downbin 7900 XT for barely make than a 7800 XT

rancid juniper
#

I once did a benchmark of the 6700xt vs 7800xt in 1440p and I was shocked

devout forum
#

Well okay that's a bit of an exaggeration but the 7900 GRE is really, REALLY good for what it costs

mortal grail
#

6700xt would make a decent trade with a 3060ti

#

You could almost do that straight up

lone mango
#

Saw a 6750xt for 330

mortal grail
#

Value is basically the same, would make a better punch for 1440p

devout forum
#

Wow seeing Felix say that makes me oddly satisfied knowing I have a 6700XT

mortal grail
#

Bruh

#

I've been saying for ages you have a good gpu

devout forum
#

It's kinda heartwarming to know I didn't do an idiot buying it when I had the money

mortal grail

6700xt was probably the best one of last gen

Bar the msrp 3080's

#

Or evga b stock

devout forum

I am severely lacking self-confidence as you can tell

mortal grail
#

They won't be around for much longer

Only one model left of 6700xt at 330 rn

@mortal grail Ill probably get a 6800xt

#

double the vram is going to help alot

#

and I could probably sell the 3060ti for maybe $240-50

mortal grail
#

If you can afford it man yeah

#

Don't overshoot yourself for this

#

Would be good tho

wooden marten
#

so it would cost about 300 to upgrade

mortal grail
#

Yeah that sounds not bad

wooden marten
#

which is still alot but its a considerable upgrade

#

Would i need a cpu upgrade though?

#

I have a 12600k rn

would it bottleneck

tranquil pebble

12th gen K CPU shouldn't bottleneck it

mighty hazel

Yeah so many people have 6800xt+ 5600x

#

12th gen is better than that

wooden marten
#

ngl tho watching the comparison benchmarks

#

3060ti still preforms really good at 1440p

#

@mortal grail would a 6700xt be better for 1440p bc of the vram

its abt the same price as the 3060ti

Yeah man

idle nexus

I mean, I could try it cuz it's worthless otherwise

mortal grail

Hey it sucks but yakno

Ye exactly

idle nexus

& if I'm going down to the copper it should be pretty easy to lap it evenly

#

assuming the copper is flat at least

#

heck I'll go grab some sand paper & start lapping that piece of crap rn why not

#

btw did they lap down the frame too to make up for the change in clearance?

#

or is there enough tolerance that it's not necessary?

also why the heck do I have to lap a freaking $300 waterblock to make it work? lmao

why would they shape it like this? like the heck were they thinking

Liquid metal on a 12900k is a bit overkill no?

I don't see the issue, it's all the rage

#

Is 70% isopropyl alcohol enough to clean off thermal paste?

mortal grail
#

ideally you want 90%+

pliant berry
#

90% is ideal, but 70 could get the job done just don't use too much

mortal grail
#

otherwise you get residue fluid behind

wooden marten
#

So i just have to wipe it down really good afterwards?

mortal grail
#

even then 90% can still leave residue a bit

or just dry wipe it from the get go

paper towels are great for this if you don't go ultra cheap

#

or serviettes

#

toilet paper if you're desparate ๐Ÿ’€

wooden marten
#

this doesnโ€™t look good

#

might be why itโ€™s overheating

mortal grail
#

that is 100% why

#

omg

#

got a good near 30% has dried out there

wooden marten
#

Is the paste on the sides of the chip supposed to be there

#

bc i thought thats where thermal pads go

mortal grail
#

you mean over the edges?

#

that's fine

#

the thermal pads are under the metal plate around the die

#

remember to spread the paste across the whole die, don't miss a single spot

#

it's not like a cpu where a dot or line is arguably fine (idc if igor showed a line is fine, I disagree completely)

idle nexus
#

will revisit after my kid's baseball game

#

was thinking maybe if I put it on a flat surface, I could like put a drop of water on it to see which way it rolls off? hmm

mortal grail
#

put it on a flat surface and see if it wobbles

idle nexus
#

looks slightly high on the left ig but edges don't necessarily indicate flatness since that depends more on the angle they're sanded at

#

the problem is those stupid connecting screws don't come out

#

but I guess I could take those retainer clips out

mortal grail
#

unscrew the plate out

#

I know you can lol

idle nexus
#

lmao derp

#

I should too cuz I've already changed it before

mortal grail
#

lol

#

were you-

#

were you sanding it without taking it off

idle nexus
#

lol yes

sinful blade
mortal grail
#

hahaha

that probably would've been easier huh?

#

Frick

mortal grail
#

lol

idle nexus
#

which doesn't necessarily mean it's flat but

mortal grail
#

very good sign

#

the rest should be the job of liquid metal

idle nexus
#

well I turned it & there's a little wobble

#

will try to flatten it more

mortal grail
#

hopefully you did a good enough job that it's flat the right way

#

flat flat

#

not flat angle

idle nexus
#

I should probably use glass or something super flat to check wobble

mortal grail
#

yes you should

#

be careful btw

#

wipe that coldplate before you put it on glass

#

not unless you want potentially awful scratches

idle nexus
#

heck I guess I'll try to think of something else really flat then

#

I think this desk isn't flat cuz it only wobbles when I turn it a certain way

wooden marten
mortal grail
#

nope

#

never do that on a gpu

idle nexus
#

don't leave it to chance lol

mortal grail
#

that will cause the same issues or worse

#

gpu doesn't have an ihs like a cpu

#

if a spot is missed, it's exposed

#

it doesn't disperse the heat

otherwise i dont see it on there

sour falcon
#

I say this as if I havenโ€™t tried to finish Death stranding on SEVERAL occasions

#

Kinda lost interest after my save data was deleted like 6 times

icy ore
#

hate the gameplay but the story so good

sour falcon
#

On several occasions Iโ€™d load up the game only to find that new game was the only option

#

Got tired of trying even though I know itโ€™s a good game

velvet summit

๐Ÿ’€

#

idk how the hell that happened to you

#

because i played death stranding on pc launch

never had any lost save games

Oh?

Is server boost timed?

velvet summit

gleaming rivet
#

Crazy. I don't think I've ever seen this server get below 14 boosts before.

velvet summit
#

it has went under a few times

#

fairly briefly

sour falcon
#

Interesting

#

I thought they were like permanent

velvet summit
#

but considering the state of this server, idk if we're going back to level 3 anymore

#

nah

#

server boosts are billed monthly

sour falcon
#

I suppose a timed boost makes sense money wise

velvet summit
#

or yearly for mine

sour falcon
#

Makes a lot of sense lol

velvet summit
#

depends on your nitro subscription

sour falcon
#

Iโ€™ve never boughten nitro lol

velvet summit
#

monthly nitro, includes monthly free server boosts, or the ability to buy server boosts monthly
yearly nitro includes yearly free server boosts, and the ability to buy server boosts yearly

Need help ASAP. At least before morning.

I'm moving from Tennessee to Florida, early tomorrow morning. Very long drive, and we're gonna have to stay at a hotel or something for 1 night on the way there.
One of the last things I have left to pack is my computer.
When I got it, it had some kind of paper/plastic in it to keep the components safe during shipping.
Do I need to do that again when packing it up? It's going to be in the passenger seat of a car.

if it's in your own car it'll be fine

Any idea what kind it is? If itโ€™s just like a lil single fan it shouldnโ€™t be a problem

Hell Iโ€™ve drove a few hours with my 3080 in mine and didnโ€™t take the gpu out, never had an issue, but that was as most 3-4hrs

mental yoke
#

question about trade in

#

i have a 3060 ti with the original box, i wanna trade it in for a 4070 super, ive heard some gpus get rejected for numerous reasons, if mine happens to get rejected would it get sent back to me? and if so how soon?

#

iโ€™m also curious about if it does get accepted, how long does it normally take?

#

does it get approved and meanwhile it gets approved the gpu i wanna buy gets shipped? or does it only start shipping after its been accepted?

elfin mural
#

in rejected cases, they do get sent back to you

#

they legally can't keep it for free

#

it's theft if they don't return to owner

mental yoke
#

what about if itโ€™s accepted

#

does the gpu i wanted ship after its accepted?

elfin mural
#

then they buy the gpu, ship you the one you traded for, and it gets shipped once it has been packaged and out to delivery

#

shouldn't be take long

mental yoke
#

i got told trade in takes 10-15 days

#

letโ€™s say it takes 10 days to trade in 10 days to arrive

#

20 days total?

elfin mural
#

maybe

mental yoke
#

also ima prob buy the gpu on on my cash card

elfin mural
#

they have to wait for shipping

iโ€™ll have the exact amount needed to buy it
