It was something called being creative when your mom refused to get you phantom orion

Made my own stamina type beyblade
What do u guys think of this?
Its like 900 bucks
The cheapest xtx i ever seen
Its not a red devil or sapphire nitro
So cooling might be subpar
storm narwhal
powercolor is nice, just doesn't look fancy
look at reviews and stuff for this sku specifically if you're considering buying it

look at reviews and stuff for this sku specifically if you're considering buying...
My current 7900xt sapphire pulse is acting a but funky at times and was thinking of returning it while i’m still on my return window
And was thinking of maybe getting smth else
storm narwhal
ruled out drivers already, i assume
opaque sedge
Oh yeah
storm narwhal
mm
opaque sedge
I dont have access to old drivers to backlog to
Cuz i started my build with the latest one
storm narwhal
but powercolor has been around for a long time, they're overall good
I don't have the time to look into reviews for the hellhound 7900xtx but if they don't mention any recurring or common issues it should be good
opaque sedge
but powercolor has been around for a long time, they're overall good
Yh can’t find much reviews on it tho and everyone is glazing those humongous nitro plus and red devil cards
storm narwhal
ahh gotcha
storm narwhal
they're not wrong, bigger cooler literally means more thermal mass
opaque sedge
They’re like “its big so better cooling”
Oh wait
Ik why this is cheap now
And why everyone glazes those big ones

And why everyone glazes those big ones
The nitro plus and red devil have more wattage

Another card that goes brrr tbh

Boost core clock seems low for an xtx tho

They're normally good but known for "coil whine" simply because the cards are quite quiet

So the fans are quiet enough that the coil whine is what becomes audible
Wbt asrock?

opaque sedge
How are their 7900 cards?
mortal grail
Asrock is pretty similar but
opaque sedge
Their xt is fairly priced

Meh paste

I would look at trying to fix your current card first personally

Isn't that industrial type stuff? 💀

Isn't that industrial type stuff? 💀
no

velvet summit
Isn't that industrial type stuff? 💀
it's not technically
though the machines currently in existence are basically all industrial
there arent really any home SLS machines, but there is one company making them
craggy shoal
I just see that some go for like $75K (unless I'm looking in the wrong place)
velvet summit
they're still a preorder/kickstarter or whatever
craggy shoal
bruh
sour falcon
its a resin printer but lasers
velvet summit
you dont need to print any supports
craggy shoal
I like my P1S
sour falcon
thats how i understood it anyway
velvet summit
it's not resin though
it literally just melts plastic dust so that it welds together
sour falcon
no im saying the basis of how they print by layer
sour falcon
yer
velvet summit
yeah kinda
sour falcon
like the metal dust printers
velvet summit
it's definitely closer to SLA printing than FDM
sour falcon
yeah
velvet summit
it's not quite the same as SLA since SLA still may require supports for some prints
though less than FDM of course
velvet summit
like the metal dust printers
those are also SLS afaik
oh
apparently it's called SLM
m for melting
apparently SLM fully melts the material, while SLS only partially melts it to weld it to the part

<@692066236799909908> wait what happened to your 7900xt
I have had some issues since morning, mu monitor was acting funky and wasn’t connecting tried turning it off and it wasn’t turning on next thing ik the vga light is on in my mobo, then i did the typical troubleshooting by reseating the gpu and checking all power cables, but after i have had some games freeze on me, and noticeable stutters in loading screens
storm narwhal
you could RMA it

https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU
opaque sedge
<@692066236799909908> did you try ddu
Could it be thermal throttling too?
deep parcel
Have you tried reseating the ram?
opaque sedge
The portion below the gpu probably doesn’t get much airflow
deep parcel
I know it sounds a bit weird but Ive seen cases in the past where the ram was causing issues instead of the VGA.
opaque sedge
Have you tried reseating the ram?
Nope i would have to remove the cooler
deep parcel
rip
deep parcel
yeah just remove that fan and you should be able to access ram
opaque sedge
Its gonna be tight
But yeah i’ll try
I remember one of the ram sticks not clicking properly when i was building the pc
deep parcel
That uh could be it
opaque sedge
That uh could be it
It was all the way in tho
deep parcel
it *should * click in though
opaque sedge
Made sure to press it firmly and the clip was closed too
So the slot could be faulty too?
mortal grail
Could it be thermal throttling too?
You can check in the amd software, it'll say if it's hot
Shouldn't be tho
Sapphire temps are quite decent this gen
deep parcel
So the slot could be faulty too?
🤷♂️ anything could be faulty, the ram, the mobo, the cpu (memory controller), it could be a lot of things
opaque sedge
Sapphire temps are quite decent this gen
Hits almost 90 hotspot and 70-75 overall
mortal grail
In games at 99% ye?
opaque sedge
I’m thinking of moving one of my intake fans a bit below and see if a minor improvement in more airflow to the gpu will help or not
opaque sedge
In games at 99% ye?
Yup
opaque sedge
Also my psu is right below the gpu
mortal grail
Completely normal
opaque sedge
Completely normal
Oh damn
mortal grail
If ddu doesn't turn it up then it's possible it's somehow still gpu related but it could be equally unlikely too
On my am4 system I've had too many false positives for vga on the motherboard code
A red herring if you will
Sometimes agesa (bios) stability can be related
opaque sedge
So… i just tried recreating yesterday’s trouble
And when the dp was not connected and i booted up the pc the vga light was on
So it was because the gpu wasn’t connected to a monitor
mortal grail
That would be correct yes
opaque sedge
Seems like my monitor is funky too
Yesterday’s incident did start by my monitor not turning on after all
mortal grail
Different monitor working fine would rule out the gpu pretty strongly tbh
opaque sedge
Maybe i should try hooking up my pc to the tv in the living room
Strange i had some benchmarks running and the gpu didn’t even hit 70c
mortal grail
Checks out tbh lol

but it just trains like once in a while
sorry I was just dealing with my own nonsense. I woke up & the computer was off. Power goes out here sometimes when it rains. Somehow my boot drive was borked. I still haven't figured out what the issue is exactly. Seems like it might be TPM or whatever security keys related. I had two win11s installed & those don't play nice. Eh anyway, any progress?
also the setting is called "Memory Context Restore" that makes memory train faster. It won't affect the first training after CMOS but subsequent ones should be quicker

hitman has something called... iirc it was called peacock and it allows you to unofficially run the authentication server
because for whatever reason the game is always online
rancid juniper
interesting

well, ioi claims it's for preventing piracy
by making the game less fun for pirates
but in reality it just makes it suck for actual players
because you can be in the MIDDLE of a mission and then you disconnect
and then you cant play

gog doesn't remove drm, they just sell games without drm

and considering that games are releasing unfinished these days
I'd argue that some AAA games aren't worth the $60 in the first place

hey any help? last night my pc was updating. gray screen with message “working on updates x% bla bla bla” and I left it overnight.
this morning I checked and the pc is just stuck at the startup logo. by startup logo I mean when you power on the pc and the logo of the brand comes up with the text “click x to enter bios”
trying to open the bios or boot order just restarts the pc non stop
this is where I am stuck.
looks like I can’t upload images
reef shell
yeah but i not even sure how to proceed, can’t open bios or boot order
I do have an image of post screen
can’t send and no beeps either
gilded kraken
first thing I would do is see if you can stabalize the bios by unplugging your drives ect
if you are getting stuck in a boot loop
that or reset it
storm narwhal
Create a windows media installation and do a startup repair if that doesn't work

You boot from the media installation
Which you have to make first on another computer
And put it on a thumb drive bigger than 8gb
storm narwhal
It might if the Mobo supports that but
I did also kinda forget you couldn't enter the bios

Guys, I really need some quick help. I have no idea what's happening...
I have a beautiful, expensive main monitor. But now whenever I plug it into my PC, my monitors start flashing, my audio cracks and freaks out, and my programs non stop crash. The second I unplug the monitor it's fine again. But I can't get anything to run with the monitor
Ok... I had this for like 2 hours last night, and I let it freak out for 30 minutes today and uts suddenly working again...
but cause I had to plug it into my iGPU its only running at 49hz 😭
I guess I can try my DGPU again
Ok, just swapped over and my my whole PC is bricked
What in the hell is going on man...

Maybe cable ?

The second I unplug it, my PC un-freezes

fair onyx
I can only think of it being a display driver issue or something, cause it literally locks up my entire PC so bad that my audio turns to static and my whole PC goes 100% unresponsive
I need this solved today ASAP, so I am hopeful its just that
alright, its turning on. Fingers crossed its just my driver 😭
if its not, IDK what I am gonna do
ok, I think it might be the cable, but that makes no sense...
I have a crappy older HDMI that will limit my display, but it should hopefully work for now to test
Ok, I got it working on my laptop now
so its not the cable...
Ok, and now its miraculously working on my desktop again... no damn clue what that was

I have no idea what in the hell happened, but I have it back to working, when means I can try and meet the deadline for my job!!!
