general-chat

[mortal grail]

Has the higher sku number but severely power limited so slower

[storm narwhal]

at least my 3050m is 90w which is the highest power spec for it

[fallen coral]

rate ur experience

[storm narwhal]

the longer I used my surface pro 7, the more I was upset with it ngl

the experience of writing on it is fine, but onenote is a pretty bad software i've come to realize

[fallen coral]

i considered almost getting that one instead*

[storm narwhal]

the hardware itself in a year or two immediately begins overheating and throttling at random times, I think because it was running windows security scans

[fallen coral]

imma sleep on it like I have been for the last 2 months and not doing nothing

[obsidian berry]

@fallen coral what’s your laptop budget and college major?

[storm narwhal]

then at year 4 the hinge broke

[fallen coral]

Biology/BioChem haven’t decided

[storm narwhal]

Battery life was ass, but that was expected from it's chipset

[obsidian berry]

Med school?

[fallen coral]

Yes

[obsidian berry]

Cool

[fallen coral]

oh I didn’t even think about that

dam so now it gotta last longer

[obsidian berry]

Maybe iPad then and get a keyboard

[storm narwhal]

yeah

[fallen coral]

The asus one doesn’t look too bad but here’s what I have been thinking

[storm narwhal]

for med school definitely an ipad with a keyboard if you like handwritten notes, or maybe a samsung tablet

[mortal grail]

Given how much you'd be using it, the cheaper you can go, the easier it is to later replace if it breaks

[storm narwhal]

with a keyboard too obviously

[mortal grail]

I don't expect a problem free 8 year experience

Lol

[storm narwhal]

tablet was way better than a laptop for notes when I was in med school

[velvet summit]

Damn

Dr wideus

[storm narwhal]

but i do like drawing and writing stuff instead of typing if i can help it

[mortal grail]

He's a dentist

[storm narwhal]

real

[fallen coral]

I don’t wanna get a crazy powerful laptop that ill be expensive when i alr have a pc, but I also want it to look good and even then I haven’t decided if I wanna take that PC at all, because what if I need to upgrade it, but also I don’t game on it I only play Minecraft Bedrock and Java sometimes

[mortal grail]

All our suggestions will cost less than the surface mate

[storm narwhal]

i can almost assure you the surface will not run minecraft well

[mortal grail]

Except that zephyrus thing

Weird laptop

[obsidian berry]

I think iPad might be best then, good battery life and multifunctional

[velvet summit]

Literally my friend with a 2021 surface be struggling on mc

[storm narwhal]

zephyrus is kinda worth the price tho, that build quality goes hard lol

[fallen coral]

that Asus Zephyrous G14 looks good but it’s for gaming and idk if I should take my Pc, it might be a distraction

[mortal grail]

There's better choices over zephyrus

[obsidian berry]

U won’t have time to game unless your young Sheldon lol

[storm narwhal]

true

[mortal grail]

LOQ for example

[obsidian berry]

My bad

[mortal grail]

TUF A15

[obsidian berry]

I typed lol and I have this autocorrect thing

[mortal grail]

A16

Nitro 5

[storm narwhal]

ooohhh the tuf lineup

[mortal grail]

Legion 5/5i

[fallen coral]

bro what 😭

[storm narwhal]

saand colorrr

[fallen coral]

so I shouldn’t take my pc? what yall think

[mortal grail]

Take it

Muh god man don't drive yourself mad

Take a break every 5 minutes

[obsidian berry]

College biology/ organic chemistry I think it’s called is a lot of memorization

And studying

[fallen coral]

is that a No

[mortal grail]

But get a cheap note device or cheap gaming laptop if you find the course needs it

4060m is good

[storm narwhal]

i can assure you I took my laptop and I had no time to game at med school

[obsidian berry]

It’s up to you

[storm narwhal]

literally only had time at home

[velvet summit]

you should study IT, plenty of time to game and party frfr

[mortal grail]

Study parties

[storm narwhal]

no that's business lmao

[mortal grail]

Be multitasking

[fallen coral]

Reason why I ruled out an iPad/Tablet was idk if I’ll enjoy not having a hard keyboard

[velvet summit]

honestly i just take a bunch of naps

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/it-discord-reaction-pennywise-gif-26348500

[velvet summit]

partying in my dreams 🔥

[storm narwhal]

business is the real laid back party

[mortal grail]

M1 macbook then

[fallen coral]

is that a good macbook?

[velvet summit]

honestly i kinda like the ipad keyboard attachment keyboard

[mortal grail]

Everyone prefers a different workflow

Yes

[fallen coral]

i heard about M2 and M3

and stuff

[mortal grail]

M1 air is great

[obsidian berry]

All the m MacBooks r great honestly

[mortal grail]

All the apple M's are good, shop by price

[velvet summit]

just dont get an intel macbook

[mortal grail]

For what you need you don't need to splurge

Or at least

It feels that way

[velvet summit]

if a microsoft surface can fit your needs, pretty much anything can

[mortal grail]

A phone tbh

[storm narwhal]

m1 air refurbished

[mortal grail]

Lol

[velvet summit]

real

[storm narwhal]

a samsung phone honestly is better than a surface lol

[obsidian berry]

I think Apple is selling devices with gift cards for students rn, u don’t need any verification btw

[storm narwhal]

I could probably have made do with it through my degree

[velvet summit]

you would probably want to make sure it has active matrix or whatever it's called though for pen support

[storm narwhal]

granted, the ones with a pen

[velvet summit]

me when samsung note line

just dont take them on a plane frfr

[storm narwhal]

lmao

[velvet summit]

(disclaimer that the problem doesnt exist anymore, it was just one specific model that had battery issues)

[storm narwhal]

note 7 babee

[velvet summit]

what note are we on now anyways

[storm narwhal]

as you throw it you need to call "Frag Out!"

[velvet summit]

or is it the same number as the galaxy

[storm narwhal]

galaxy s24 ultra

[velvet summit]

wait

[obsidian berry]

If you’re just starting college I think u could get the gaming laptop, but u just have to put assignments and studying first

[velvet summit]

is the note line discontinued

[obsidian berry]

You’ll prob have 1-2 hrs of gaming

Or whatever time

[velvet summit]

oh

it is discontinued

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Whats going on yall

[velvet summit]

discontinued 4 years ago ☠️

[obsidian berry]

Laptop suggestions

[velvet summit]

well, technically 3 years ago since 4 years ago was the last model

[opaque sedge]

Gaming laptop nerds love the loq and the asus tuf advantage edition when on sale

[mortal grail]

💯 points

[storm narwhal]

whenever i need a new laptop those will be my targets

[opaque sedge]

This looks good ngl

[storm narwhal]

Dell G15 is fine but that screen bruh

ass 120hz

color calibration bad too, only 72% NTSC

at least I could find a color profile that corrects it as much as possible

[opaque sedge]

Loq is crazy good value tho i think i saw a 4060 one going for 750 smth on a sale once in best buy

[velvet summit]

we werent doing gaming laptop reccs

[mortal grail]

I'm honestly surprised my prediction was that accurate tbh

[storm narwhal]

WAIT DBRAND IS MAKING A CSGO CASE HARDENED SKIN

WHAT

[velvet summit]

lmao

you just saw

[mortal grail]

There really was a "maybe a 4070 laptop"

[storm narwhal]

yes

[velvet summit]

clearly you dont look in the channel™️

[opaque sedge]

Lemme get the link for whoever it is real quick then

[obsidian berry]

Build quality is alr

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-slim-series-laptops/lenovo-legion-slim-5-gen-9-(16-inch-amd)/83ex0007us
Will prolly have to use the coupon codes listed above and set pickup to best buy

It’s probably this cheap cuz its most likely a best buy exclusive model

[storm narwhal]

finally i can make my devices look like russianbadgers twin daggers

now i can have lightly [pooped] laptop

[mortal grail]

@fallen coral what the same price in a gaming laptop gets

[opaque sedge]

Hmm a food for thought is it possible to make a 4070 super pc under a grand

[velvet summit]

would be so overkill for med school lmao

how good is the batt life

i wonder how good this would be for classes lmfao

[opaque sedge]

Also gaminglaptopdeals website from jarrod’s tech ytuber

[obsidian berry]

Like your average gaming laptop 💀

[velvet summit]

oh

terrible for classes then

[opaque sedge]

Can u even game on laptops while not plugged in?

[velvet summit]

the goal isnt to find gaming laptops

[storm narwhal]

you can

[velvet summit]

we were recommending laptops for note taking

[storm narwhal]

but it'll be throttled by default

[velvet summit]

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Ipad would be best then probably

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-im-sayin-like-thats-what-im-sayin-gif-24363099

[storm narwhal]

but he wants attached keyboard

[opaque sedge]

But that damn apple pencil and keyboard is expensive

[storm narwhal]

so mac instead

[opaque sedge]

Hmm a refurb m1pro goes for around 1.2k i think

[storm narwhal]

yuh

[velvet summit]

why would they need a m1 pro

[storm narwhal]

just m1 air tbh

refurb

[opaque sedge]

That laptop also had 512gig ssd as a minimum i think

The ram might be a problem tho

It was 8 gigs minimum

Still is i think

[storm narwhal]

imo i'd just use an external drive for storage

[opaque sedge]

Yh after my first experience with my current pc external drives are def the best for sensitive files

[storm narwhal]

and 8gb is serviceable, from someone who is using an m2 with 8gb of ram

leaves a bunch of tabs open and stuff, they're insane

like PLEASE just use bookmarks and folders

[opaque sedge]

My m1pro which is on sleep with 10 chrome tabs and 5 safari tabs:

[velvet summit]

hm

wait i can close one of the tabs since i already bought it

from a diff site

infinitecables my beloved

has cheaper ups batteries as well

[opaque sedge]

Oh right btw guys this is what i got from the sale

[velvet summit]

10 games

[icy ore]

Ooo I wanna try sekiro

[opaque sedge]

Its a lot more forgiving than elden ring

[storm narwhal]

they use firefox kekw

elben ring

[storm narwhal]

bonk build, all strength

[velvet summit]

(i play none of them)

[icy ore]

Still no ones steam library compares to Dallas’s

lol

[velvet summit]

real

[storm narwhal]

probably very few people's ever will

[velvet summit]

my total steam playtime is like 2k hours

[opaque sedge]

I found the guy whose sole purpose for building pcs is to get the best score on timespy

[opaque sedge]

Jesus since when

[velvet summit]

since 9 years ago

[opaque sedge]

Damn what were gpus like back then?

[icy ore]

1080 era?

[velvet summit]

i was still igpu gang

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure that’s 2017

[icy ore]

Ah nvm

[velvet summit]

majority of the first few years of me on steam was with me being unable to run any games 🔥

[opaque sedge]

It was prolly the three figure era

[icy ore]

980, then

[velvet summit]

i had some hp laptop at that time

[icy ore]

We had a real old crappy gateway laptop I used to play toontown on

It was so slow

[velvet summit]

i had one of those as well

hdd + like 4gb ram

☠️

and intel atom

[storm narwhal]

intel atom lmao

[velvet summit]

windows 8

[opaque sedge]

I dont think i had an usable laptop or pc back at 2015

I did get a macbook as a gift the next year tho

[storm narwhal]

those macbooks are so tough ngl

[opaque sedge]

I loved that thing cuz screen was awesome and I didn’t play games back then just used to watch stuff

[storm narwhal]

they can take a real beating

[velvet summit]

i didnt join desktop gaming gang until like 2019; i did have a pentium 4 desktop though

got it for free

[opaque sedge]

But in the fated year of 2017 i broke the screen

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/aol-internet-dialing-connecting-gif-4039466

God 💀

[opaque sedge]

Couldn’t get service cuz i was in a country with no apple store

So i was pc less till i got my m1pro at fall 2022

And recently built my pc last month

[storm narwhal]

nice

oh yeah i remember you askin about pc stuff before

[opaque sedge]

Yh i was looking to game cuz all my friends would talk about gaming and felt kind of left out but gpu prices soared and became inaccessible and laptops were stupid expensive too for good ones back then

So kind of just gave up

Till now ofc

[storm narwhal]

good time for pc building

[opaque sedge]

Interesting the 70ti super is 770 now well temporarily ofc

[opaque sedge]

Oh yh especially for 1440p systems it’s entirely possible to build them under 1.4k usd now

1.3k infact if u got access to microcenter bundles

And 1.2k if u cheap out on storage and wait till the future to expand

[velvet summit]

the what

[opaque sedge]

4070ti super zotac version

Dont think there was a 3070ti super

[velvet summit]

true

but i've never seen anyone refer the 4070tis as the 70ti super lmao

[opaque sedge]

Oh its called 4070tis usually!! I thought the s was just a mistype from people lol

[opaque sedge]

Also i think I personally overspent on my 7900xt system for 1.6k after tax but i was able to try a gre briefly and with the auto memory oc it only had 10-20frames less in cyberpunk ultra no rt

But losing those 10-20 frames which I couldn’t even notice prolly made me iffy so i kept the xt

Duality of man

[velvet summit]

☠️

[opaque sedge]

Ik the gre is the best value but still kept the xt

Cuz it was already established as the superior card in my heart

[velvet summit]

i mean

xtx

[storm narwhal]

manufacturer naming schemes are stupid

[velvet summit]

real

[storm narwhal]

ah yes, the 7900xtx which is distinct from the 7600X

[velvet summit]

i swear "ti super" was like a meme

and then nvidia made it real

[opaque sedge]

Oh yeah like between the gre xt and xtx the only choices should be the gre and xtx cuz the in between xt is a mild difference

[storm narwhal]

7800xtxyabc

[opaque sedge]

Amd branding is def confusing tho

Like there’s several tiers of cards

7600, 7700, 7800, 7900

I think there’s a 7500 too

[mortal grail]

What's the plural of 4070ti then

[storm narwhal]

4070ti (plural)

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

4070ties frfr

i mean

[storm narwhal]

4070ties should be it

[opaque sedge]

The pride of 4070ti

[velvet summit]

there are some words that can be singular and plural

the singular form for moose is moose
the plural form for moose is moose

hah jk it's moosi

frfr

[mortal grail]

Meese

[storm narwhal]

moose meese

yes

[opaque sedge]

This gave me an idea 4070tiseese

Nvm doesn’t roll of the tongue well

Ig just gotta say 4070tiss and hopefully the person reading will understand the ss stands for supers

[velvet summit]

easier method is just to use capitalization

[sinful blade]

Amongoose

[opaque sedge]

Hmm 4070TISs

[velvet summit]

considering how nvidia capitalizes things, you would probably say like, 4070TiSs for multiple 4070 titanium supers

[opaque sedge]

Nah sounds as weird as the cards marketing itself

[mortal grail]

4070Tieese

4070Ti ees

[velvet summit]

blame nvidia for adding super to the name for some reason

[mortal grail]

Tieyees

[opaque sedge]

Hmm we’re looking for plurals for the ti super tho

[sinful blade]

Yee haw

[mortal grail]

Ti supereese

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/gpu-rtx-3080-gif-19640317

4070tirl

[opaque sedge]

Sounds like an amateur french patisserie tried making a new desert

[sinful blade]

Female 4070ti can’t hurt you it’s not real

[sinful blade]

Female 4070ti

[opaque sedge]

She’s hiding her 12gig vram red flag rather well

She gonna treat u nicely initially

Till u end up hitting that cap

She gonna act crazy just like irl and u have no idea why

I mean everything was going so well initially right?

[obsidian berry]

they should just add tips to an online checkout instead of making ti and super cards

[opaque sedge]

Do aib manufacturers add extra vram to gpus sometimes?

Like a 4070 super with 16 gigs would be awesome

Or the ti well that’s the ti super ig

[velvet summit]

short answer: no

[worn wave]

No, at least not for modern cards

[velvet summit]

also nvidia would never let them

idk how controlling amd is

[opaque sedge]

They dont even need to be they hand out vram like that oprah meme

[velvet summit]

but nvidia would end the contract with anyone that deviates from their vision

this is why evga stopped making gpus

too fed up with nvidia's antics

[opaque sedge]

Damn that sucks are they like bankrupt now?

[velvet summit]

no

they still do stuff like mobos and psus

but they left the gpu market

[opaque sedge]

Any chances of them joining team red?

[worn wave]

Probably similar (for vram) . I doubt vram chips are super expensive, so if let loose AIBs would probably be competing with each other to put more vram into all their cards.

[opaque sedge]

Nvm

Do u guys think ray tracing will ever be developed to be a basic setting in most games? Cuz i just realized ray tracing hasn’t even peaked yet but now there’s already a different version called path tracing

[velvet summit]

path tracing is as old as ray tracing

it's what was used for pixar's old cgi films

like monster inc

[opaque sedge]

Damn really? When was ray tracing first introduced?

For games

[velvet summit]

ray tracing and path tracing are similar

path tracing just calculates more reflections

real time ray tracing didnt really exist till nvidia introduced it with the 20 series

but ray tracing and path tracing have existed for decades

[opaque sedge]

The rtx on and off videos i kept seeing on yt

[velvet summit]

like, even before computing, ray tracing and path tracing technically existed; at least the formulas

just physics lmao

[opaque sedge]

Interesting

[mortal grail]

A² + B² = C²

[opaque sedge]

We got Pythagoras himself in the chat here yall

Jkjk

[velvet summit]

rtx is a nvidia marketing term btw

similar to like, hyperthreading

[opaque sedge]

Whats its technical term?

[velvet summit]

well,

just ray tracing lmao

[mortal grail]

1+1=2

[opaque sedge]

We’ve got uh

We’ve got

Well u got me there

[velvet summit]

1+1 = window

frfr

[mortal grail]

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY

[opaque sedge]

1+1= misfortune for the descendants of humanity

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/bill-nye-gif-24404275

[velvet summit]

also path tracing is slow af, at least back when it was first being used for cgi films

the pixar films took like a full day to render a single frame

they had a render farm though so they were rendering several hundred frames at the same time though

still took them several months to render the film

back during the early 2000s

[mortal grail]

Imagine rocking that now

[opaque sedge]

Hmm kind of want to see what rt really looks like in a stable game environment ngl

[mortal grail]

Play cyber punk on disney render farm

[velvet summit]

real

[mortal grail]

720p LOW path traced

[velvet summit]

i mean, first you need to make the game work with parallization
which as we've seen with SLI, doesnt go very well lmao

[opaque sedge]

It looks horrid on cyberpunk with the 7900xt even with lowered settings and less resolution witj noticeable instability for buildings and straight lines and visual tear

[velvet summit]

k8s didnt even exist back then

[opaque sedge]

Wondering if there’s any other games where it isn’t so rough to handle

Couldn’t notice the difference in forza tho

[mortal grail]

I'll just make each gpu become a cuda core

[velvet summit]

idk how they even orchestrated the rendering, though they certainly had some custom configuration for that

[velvet summit]

in fairness, amd's strong suit isnt rt

nvidia had a whole generation headstart

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia depends on dlss to do rt tho right?

[velvet summit]

no?

[opaque sedge]

Damn wbt the 4070ti super?

[nocturne flicker]

DLSS just makes RTX not as intense on the system through upscaling

[opaque sedge]

Its basically the 7900xt equivalent for nvidia right?

[velvet summit]

pure rt with no upscaling on nvidia is more performant than amd's pure rt

[opaque sedge]

Interesting and how many games have rt as a selling point currently?

[rancid juniper]

truly a spotify Xbox moment

[velvet summit]

not that many

[opaque sedge]

Cyberpunk is definitely one like they have several presets for it

[velvet summit]

i dont see much point in playing games with rtx on because most of them look kinda tacky
the classic rasterization tricks is enough for a good experience without tanking your fps

and without needing framegen/upscaling

[opaque sedge]

Its great to hear an opinion from someone who’s been gaming for a while

Cuz my current system is basically my first exposure to gaming

So I can’t really tell if rt is really huge for gaming or not

[velvet summit]

honestly speaking, despite it being 3 generations old, i dont feel like rt is still mature enough for gaming. also still most people dont have rt support on their systems, so developers still have to make both the raster lighting techniques, and the rt lighting techniques for their games

unless they use ue5 or whatever

[gentle canyon]

the few rt advertising things ive seen from them have been cyberpunk ngl

[velvet summit]

once the tech matures enough, and enough people have hardware that can support it, maybe we'll see more games that only have rt support, and no raster lighting tricks

but until now, it's really just a tech demo, with dlss/fidelityfx being actually useful

it's also useful for accelerating 3d rendering though

but that's not what the average gamer would do lol

[nocturne flicker]

RT would've been crazy. Back when the Open World craze started and if it was already mature at that point to be worth anything

[storm narwhal]

Real

For us it's just a tech demo

Rasterization is still extremely good because that's how lighting has always been and using rt requires a lot of GPU

[velvet summit]

i swear most rt games just like

makes everything glossy

lmao

like

even things that shouldnt be glossy

like sidewalks

???

where do you find a glossy sidewalk

[nocturne flicker]

I don't know about you but I only walk on the glossiest sidewalks

[storm narwhal]

honestly yeah lmao if it was rain puddle like yeah

i only walk on sidewalks made with sapphires

[velvet summit]

real

[nocturne flicker]

Pleb, real men only walk on diamond sidewalks

[storm narwhal]

I'm not rich enough for that

[velvet summit]

that med school really drained your bank fr

fr

[nocturne flicker]

I don't even live in a place with sidewalks

[velvet summit]

yeah there's no sidewalks here either

on this street

[tranquil pebble]

side roads often dont have them

[storm narwhal]

the med school was the sapphire sidewalk

[nocturne flicker]

Rural America usually doesn't have them

[tranquil pebble]

that too

[nocturne flicker]

Only in strip malls and stuff like that where the 'sidewalk' is really just the pavement for the stores

[velvet summit]

that's where all the tuition costs went

[tranquil pebble]

I lived in rural areas for a long time but I've ended up in a small city now. Much happier here.

[storm narwhal]

real

uni tuition goes to the weirdest places

[tranquil pebble]

minecraft creative mode vibes

[velvet summit]

netherite sidewalk

[nocturne flicker]

Uni tuition goes to pay multimillion dollar salaries for coaches

[opaque sedge]

So what do u guys think of fsr?

[dusk knot]

Good

In avatar frontiers of pandora that is

[opaque sedge]

Guys…

[paper verge]

Its around the same on amazon but nothing necessarily wrong with the carf

[opaque sedge]

Well the thing is… i have a sapphire pulse 7900xt which i got for 690

Still in its return window

And from microcenter as well

So exchanging will be easy

But now there’s a new variable

Asrock 7900xt is going for 650 in newegg so i can get that price matched and save 40 bucks on top now

[paper verge]

Its pretty much on par with the 7900xt I don't think you'll see a difference above from like 10 fps or so

But might wanna ask the other guys aswell

[opaque sedge]

Oh right another point to add is xfx has a 3 year warranty

While sapphire has a 2 year

So for the time i use the card i will pretty much probably be in warranty

Except maybe the 4th year

[paper verge]

Uh don't really recall the last time I used warranty and also warranty laws are changing if I recall

But I mean its a pretty small difference anyways ask guys like Felix and they'll know more

[paper verge]

In the sense that opening GPUs shouldn't void it and you get more flexibility with your device although if you don't straight up brake it or do something stupid

[opaque sedge]

Yh i’ll ask him tomorrow dont wanna bother him at midnight bothered the guys here enough a month ago when i was building my system

For now I’ll reserve the card incase it sells out

[worthy meteor]

It has been a topic for right to repair for years now, but now instead of just theoretically illegal, ftc is saying outright it is illegal to use warranty void when removed stickers

[velvet summit]

i mean, it's been illegal to enforce for literal decades, just that most people werent aware

for 50 years

And without that awareness, companies are able to skirt around that law

[elfin mural]

The US is in that state again

Sue everyone state

[north crescent]

Even with awareness they could. I remember one AsRock RMA incident where it was denied even after a consumer brought up the fact it was illegal with citation.

[elfin mural]

Kinda funny but it's a good move at least

Making it outright illegal

[sour falcon]

Woooooo

We love 90° dorms 🗣️

[opaque sedge]

Hey if anyone’s on i would like an opinion, i have three options rn for the current price deals and considering i’m in my return window still

1. Return my 690usd sapphire pulse 7900xt for this xfx xtx for 140usd extra
2. Get the asrock phantom 7900xt for 650usd with microcenter pricematching for newegg
3. Keep my sapphire pulse 7900xt for 690usd

[velvet summit]

For 1, nah it's definitely not worth 140 more

I don't really think it's worth the hassle to save 40 bucks either

[paper verge]

And that warranty is just bs marketing for ya

Ain't worth nothin

[mental yoke]

Ok sorry to bother yall

But

I got 2 rams 2x32

And it only boots up when I put one in

when I put two it shows a black screen

Any fixes?

[velvet summit]

New build? Upgrading build?

[mental yoke]

New build

[velvet summit]

Hmm

Both sticks works by themselves?

[mental yoke]

yea

it also has to be in a specific spot

[velvet summit]

Wdym by that?

[mental yoke]

Like I have 4 ram slots

Let’s go left to right

[velvet summit]

You should be using slots 2 and 4

[mental yoke]

L1-L2-R1-R2

It only works

In R1

or I believe it’s b1

[mental yoke]

Yea but it doesn’t boot up with 2

And if I use one it only works in that specific ram slot

[velvet summit]

None of the other slots are working?

[mental yoke]

nah

[velvet summit]

Usually if you're only using 1 ram stick, you would only be using a2 for most mobos

[mental yoke]

well idk if it doesn’t work everything is brand new

[elfin mural]

dead kit then

[velvet summit]

Which MOBO is this? Also I'd probably try reseating the cpu

[elfin mural]

i'd return the ram tbh

[velvet summit]

Idk, I feel like the PC should be able to boot on the other ram slots

[tranquil pebble]

My mobo is populated on slots E1 F1 G1 H1 lol

[mental yoke]

The motherboard is a z790

Asus rog Maximus z790 hero

[velvet summit]

Huh manual didn't say what slots to use

Whatever, usually it's a2 and b2

It is kinda strange that your system doesn't boot on any other slot asides from b1

[mental yoke]

I tried Every other slot with one ram in b1 and it didn’t work

[velvet summit]

So try taking out your cpu, inspecting the pins on the MOBO to see if there are any bent or whatever, then putting back in the cpu and seeing if the other slots work

[mental yoke]

Aii

[opaque sedge]

Damn pc issues are scary

Like u can’t tell if its the mobo or some other component

[velvet summit]

Or rather it's more of a pain
Usually if stuff are DOA then you still have warranty

[opaque sedge]

Interesting to know, i got tempted cuz 835usd is the lowest a 7900xtx has ever been brand new from a verified retailer

[velvet summit]

Compared to the price you got your 7900xt though

Not quite worth

[opaque sedge]

Xt is also at an all time low at 650 rn

It looks like amd might be releasing 8000series soon

Maybe that’s why they dropped the prices so much

[velvet summit]

Relatively soon

Still a few months left

[opaque sedge]

Incentive enough for retailers to drop the prices ig

Amd does have a disadvantage tho it seems

The latest amd drivers apparently had issues with last gen cards

But barely any for the 7000 series

[elfin mural]

retails need to churn out stock

so yeah they'd drop prices

[velvet summit]

Meanwhile that one store that still has a like $70 gt710

[opaque sedge]

What do u think of the xfx xtx price?

[opaque sedge]

Where

I need to see it

Before i go to sleep

[elfin mural]

idk

if i were you, i'd not be bothered enough

i have a 4050 and im happy with what i have

don't have fomo

fomo sucks in all ways

[opaque sedge]

I… might spend the 140 on a therapist I think

[elfin mural]

sucks your money, sucks your confidence

[opaque sedge]

How much does therapy cost?

[elfin mural]

and sucks away opportunity said money can be used on

[opaque sedge]

Never looked into it cuz no insurance

[elfin mural]

like well, food

[velvet summit]

Gotta sleep since it's like 02:00, but if you see bent pins, that might be the issue, if not, then after putting the cpu back in, try booting the ram in the other slots, and if they work, then try 2 sticks
If it still is only b1 that works, idk if this would be a MOBO issue or a memory controller (cpu) issue

[elfin mural]

$140 isn't a small amount

[velvet summit]

Idk, someone sent a picture like a year back
Idk if it was this server or another one

[opaque sedge]

I gave up on eating well i tried and applied myself hard in strength training but my home environment is not allowing me to excel in it

[velvet summit]

Eating well is like the other half

[elfin mural]

just save the money, pocket it

7900xt is like

[opaque sedge]

Sucks cuz i made some really good progress too

[elfin mural]

more than what i can imagine i'd need

[opaque sedge]

Maybe i’m just trying to do retail therapy unconsciously

[mental yoke]

Ok ty

[opaque sedge]

By making a top of the line pc

I…

[elfin mural]

don't give in to your thoughts

[opaque sedge]

I just want to work out and eat well and do well in my young adulthood like the rest of my friends

[velvet summit]

Wouldn't be therapy, would be more like coping mechanism

[elfin mural]

^

and that can be bad

[opaque sedge]

Mhm

[velvet summit]

Imo

Strength training isn't that important
Stamina and cardiovascular health is a bigger priority

And mental fitness and health

[opaque sedge]

I was doing a bit of everything and was making steady progress too

[velvet summit]

Keep your brain active

[elfin mural]

But don't keep it active by coping tho

[elfin mural]

You already spent like a lot on a pc

Was it like $1400 already?

[opaque sedge]

I just want to keep up my peers tbh

[elfin mural]

You don't have to keep up to them

[opaque sedge]

Pre tax maybe after tax its around1600

[elfin mural]

You already look healthy tbh

[opaque sedge]

Thx

[elfin mural]

Keeping up to others is unhealthy for your mental health

Just go at your pace

[velvet summit]

Trying to maintain a certain body shape is honestly pretty mentally degrading lmao
There's no need for "peak form" or whatever, just stay healthy and that's all you really need

[elfin mural]

It isn't like you're in a bad shape

If anything you look healthy

[opaque sedge]

It was more like being able to progress honestly

[elfin mural]

Body is like that honestly

There's a time where progress just kinda stops

[opaque sedge]

Working out was the only thing i was able to progress and see the fruit of my hard work albeit temporarily

[opaque sedge]

For me its because I wasn’t able to continue my nutrition

[velvet summit]

Our bodies aren't really designed to be bulky muscular as well if that was the goal

[elfin mural]

But don't get unhappy because of it

[opaque sedge]

Food gets expensive and my calorie needs are rather high too

[velvet summit]

Pretty much anyone with extreme muscle sizes are usually stimming or whatever

[elfin mural]

Adjust accordingly, etc

Don't aim for the most bulk

We're not built to be bulky like mentioned above

[velvet summit]

I forget the term

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait on the matter of the xtx its a three pin power connector

My psu only came with two singular ones

[velvet summit]

A what

[opaque sedge]

The cable port that sends power to ur gpu

[velvet summit]

You mean 3 8 pin connectors?

[opaque sedge]

Yh

Also my psu is out of its return window

[velvet summit]

3 pin ☠️

[elfin mural]

sony's cheapest cam is still $999

[velvet summit]

Don't worry about the xtx
It's just a waste of money

[elfin mural]

oof

[velvet summit]

24 pins total

[opaque sedge]

Yup and recommended psu wattage is 850w too so i would be cutting it close tbh

Since mine is exactly 850w

[velvet summit]

Just listen to this

[opaque sedge]

Got it

[velvet summit]

You already have a good enough deal

Worry too much and you'll become bald lmao

[elfin mural]

exactly

it pains me to see

that for 1.2k i can get 4060 and 32gb laptop

[opaque sedge]

Lol

[elfin mural]

but tbh

why should i care

i already was lucky enough to even get a gaming laptop lol

being able to fulfill my wants is a good enough thing already

[opaque sedge]

Thanks yall gonna get some sleep now

[velvet summit]

I always think about a similar thing kinda
"If I built my PC now I would have gotten so much better hardware"

Tbf most of my PC was built right when the silicon shortages and such were starting to occur

Right on the cusp of rising hardware prices

So while I didn't get the incredibly inflated PC prices, it was slightly inflated

But if I spent that 2k cad today, I would have had something so much better

For only slightly more, I coulda got a x3d

Stuck with a 3700x

[opaque sedge]

Gonna add salt to ur wound this is how much my x3d cost me

[velvet summit]

Damn

Tbf x3d didn't come until a good while later

[opaque sedge]

Oh my

[velvet summit]

5000 series ryzen didn't exist

When I boight

Bought

[opaque sedge]

Wish the ram was better for 105 bucks but cl32 is already top of the line ig

Can’t complain much since it was from a bundle

[velvet summit]

NGL in hindsight, I should've bought the like 2080 ti or whatever like my friend told me to

They were literally dirt cheap when I was building

[opaque sedge]

Ah when ppl were selling their hardware for the 30 series launch

Shoulda done that yeah

[velvet summit]

But I really wanted a 3070 so I waited
And then the GPU market went to the heavens

[opaque sedge]

Yh it seems to be rather tame now lol

Kind of glad i ignored pc gaming till now ngl

[velvet summit]

Terrible time to be a PC enthusiast

[mortal grail]

You know what they call that

Hindsight is same gpu anyway

[mental yoke]

chat gpt not good bruh

Ain’t ever buying parts of it

😭🙏

[opaque sedge]

U up rn?

[velvet summit]

Huh

[mortal grail]

Cheap time of year I believe it

[opaque sedge]

Yh even the 7900xt is at an all time low

At 650 for the asrock phantom

Strangely mid range cards like the gre 7800 aren’t getting big discounts

Just the 7900xt and xtx

[mortal grail]

Not quite prime day yet

[velvet summit]

Probably depends on how much stock they have

[opaque sedge]

Almost out of the xtx for my store it seems

[velvet summit]

If they have more cards collecting dust, there's probably a larger discount

[opaque sedge]

They only have 3 in stock

The xfx one

They have plenty for other aibs it seems

Like 10-20

[velvet summit]

Idk if I ever trust most stock counters online
It could be just a made up number just to drive more sales

I don't think it's illegal to falsly report stock amounts to customers

[opaque sedge]

I mean it isn’t illegal for employers to post fake job listings either so retailers definitely pull the fake stock numbers crap like u said

Amazon does it too

[nocturne flicker]

Why would it even be illegal, not like you can get a tally on stock from a grocery store

[opaque sedge]

A month ago they were almost out of the 360usd rx 6800 cards

Now they’re instantly back in stock and have been for a while

[velvet summit]

Hell, Amazon doesn't even keep proper track of their stock at times, sometimes they list something as in stock then go "oops there's actually no stock"

Happened to me twice

[pliant berry]

Companies are actually incentivized to post listings on job sites despite not needing more employees

[opaque sedge]

Luckily hasn’t happened to me

[nocturne flicker]

Only time they'd have to keep accurate stock is probably highly regulated stuff like cigarettes and alcohol, and that is probably kept for government purposes and not for customers

[opaque sedge]

Are they trying to look for upgrades for a cheaper price like i was earlier with that xfx xtx or smth

[velvet summit]

Employee upgrade

[opaque sedge]

For a minor cost

Of 145usd

[velvet summit]

Keep them part time

[opaque sedge]

To reduce the cost

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/ethplode-mario-super-mario-upgrade-level-up-gif-14696778

[nocturne flicker]

Like my gas station keeps track of cigarettes because if there is a discrepancy when we get audited it implies something is going on under the table

[opaque sedge]

U own a gas station?

Damn

[nocturne flicker]

I work at one as a manager

[velvet summit]

I didn't know that cigarettes were a regulated substance

[opaque sedge]

Still cool enough its hard becoming a manager

[nocturne flicker]

It is illegal to sell to people under 21 and it is a hot item for below that age

[opaque sedge]

Cuz like lets say out of 5 regular cashiers how many are actually gonna be managers

[velvet summit]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

Probably none cuz they gonna quit or get fired and one of the workers from the future batches will probably become the manager lol

[velvet summit]

I forgot that you needed id

I don't smoke

[nocturne flicker]

Also, all cigarettes are subject to a tax at boxing and at sale

[opaque sedge]

Damn i though it was the same tax for addictive substances in the US just like other consumables

I do know some countries charge an extra tax for such substances to discourage frequent use

[velvet summit]

Ok I'm actually sleeping this time, it's now 02:40 pretty much 💀

[nocturne flicker]

Legally acquired cigarettes have a tax stamp located somewhere on the pack wrappings, usually on the bottom, to indicate the cigarette tax was paid by the vendor. They are then subject to sales taxes when sold to a customer

And since some states here set their cigarette taxes lower and higher than others, cigarettes from lower tax states are smuggled into higher tax states

[mental yoke]

Ok

Since idk if there’s anything wrong with this

Imma just show yall a pic

Nope

[mortal grail]

Ram in the wrong 2 slots and paste on the golden cpu pads needs a wipe

[mental yoke]

aii

Ok the ram on the wrong 2 slots

I was just testing to see if it would work in different ones

Is 32gb still good!

?

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[mental yoke]

imma just use one ram then

[nocturne flicker]

Why? You have two sticks, use two sticks

[mental yoke]

cuh that’s the whole point I can’t use two sticks

[nocturne flicker]

Why not? Does the system not register one of them?

[mental yoke]

Yea

Only one and it has to be in a specific dimm slot

they both work I can switch between them but if I don’t have it in that specific dimm slot and only using one I get a mobo 55 error

[mortal grail]

Either the socket isn't mounted properly or it/the cpu is defective then

3 ram slots dead isn't the ram slots

Too many to be a coincidence unless the board is gouged

[nocturne flicker]

Clean the pads on the bottom of the cpu first and then test it out again. Could've been a bad seat maybe

[mortal grail]

Maybe

[mental yoke]

What pads

[mortal grail]

^

Gold

[mental yoke]

I already did

Clean it with what preferably

[mortal grail]

Paper towel, alcohol.wipe

Serviettes, toilet paper

[mental yoke]

aii

[mortal grail]

Whatever it is, as long as you don't leave paper on there when you're done

[mental yoke]

Ok

[mortal grail]

Bbl

[paper verge]

Ayo tf

I have a deepcool Case with two USB 3.0 and one of them doesn't do anything

It doesn't give power or anything you guys have any ideas why?

Its one of those USB 3.0 connectors with two wires going into it and I had it plugged to my b650m

Can it be limitation from the mb?

[mental yoke]

Don’t work

cleaned it

Imma just wait till tmr to clean it completely with some alcohol

Maybe it had to much paste which I highly doubt

if not imma just return it

How do I update bios

Nvm

[paper verge]

Download the zip file from mb put it on a USB and update

Although I think u can do it with an external hdd or ssd aswell

[mental yoke]

Man I need to go to sleep

If I can’t fix it

Imma just play with one ram

It’s 32gb anyway

Since they both work if one overheats or some shi imma just switch between them

Any of yall near Jersey 🙏

Hey Fedder

[remote geode]

I wonder

[sinful blade]

No you don’t

[remote geode]

would it be worth the jump from an i5-11600k to an R7 5700x3d chip

[mortal grail]

Kinda yes

[remote geode]

it's in my price range and my credit rating too

[unreal trail]

getting free stuff from Amazon Vine is W

[remote geode]

cp2077 was already struggling with a 6c6t config

[sinful blade]

Send that stuff to me wtf

[remote geode]

so I had to tweak it to a 6c9t config

since there was just so much stuttering

[mortal grail]

11600K is 6c 12t

[remote geode]

it is

but I play hearts of iron iv

so I disable HT for some cores

since I really need that single core horsepower

[remote geode]

and EU4

XDDD

[mortal grail]

Then turn them back on for cpu intensive games

[remote geode]

that's why I have it in a 6c9t config

XDDDDD

and now I'm considering just ditching this system for an AM4/5 one

I only really got Intel 3 years ago cuz my then-GF told me that she'll pay for my upgrade if I abandoned AM4 and switched to Intel

[storm narwhal]

Brand loyalty is stupid

Good thing you aren't running a 13/14th gen Intel chip rn lol

[mortal grail]

AM5>>>

[elfin mural]

13/14th gen i9's dissolving on their own on stock power profiles on server boards

Use top fans to extract

[devout forum]

I have
A singular 120mm fan in the whole thing

On the CPU cooler

Remember it's still that crappy case

New one is here in 2 days

[devout forum]

This is how it's set up

But testing with a bit of string

[velvet summit]

nah that's towards the back

[devout forum]

It seems to be sucking the string in

It's probably just
Really freaking turbulent airflow because the case is dumb

[velvet summit]

side with the voltage and stuff info on the sticker is the side that air exhausts

unless you have a reverse fan

[devout forum]

It's definitely not a reverse fan

It's a cheapo thing that came with the cooler

[velvet summit]

also the hdd just sitting on the bottom of the case ☠️

[devout forum]

Yes!

It's an old piece of garbage
But it's my old piece of garbage

[velvet summit]

are there no drive bays

[devout forum]

There technically are
They're just unusable because there is no hardware for them

[devout forum]

Ye I was careful dw

Just doing a stress test with unchained CPU and -30 CO

Idle draw is still like 50 watts tho

Idk why

Nor how I can get it lower

Hopefully this isn't awful or anything

no errors thus far on -30 CO

[mortal grail]

Idle on Ryzen will always be weird

50C-ish, 40-80W

It never changes

[devout forum]

mine is closer to 65

by my stepdad

tbf it was full load on all threads

That means nothing

CO is the entire curve

You need to test the entire curve not just 5% of it

[devout forum]

Damn you for not letting me use conventional wisdom!

Still need to learn not to do that lol

At least if I have any kinda crash

I have an idea where to start after basic troubleshooting

[mortal grail]

-30 is often known to be ok on AM5 non 3D

Like realistically

But you should always test

So many times

I have been shafted by "Common sense" on pc's

There's always outliers to every scenario

[devout forum]

fair

I'm just gonna wing it for the time being

and if something crops up I'll try backing off to 25

if it works over a week

GTX 1070 performance

[opaque sedge]

Interesting, kind of sucks that they wont be doing the 900xt and xtx anymore

[rancid juniper]

Pretty sure they'll do it after that gen

[opaque sedge]

So i was planning on adding the microcenter protection plan to my 7900xt instead of upgrading to the xtx

[rancid juniper]

And why is that?

[opaque sedge]

Cuz apparently microcenter allows u to do full price trade ins within the warranty period

[rancid juniper]

Dayum ok

[opaque sedge]

For example if i add a 70 buck 2 year plan to my 690usd 7900xt

Microcenter will buyout my 7900xt for 690

I will lose the 70 bucks but i would probably lose more if i try to sell my gpu used

There’s a three year plan too but its not cheap

That’s why i was asking abt rdna 4

@rancid juniper

[rancid juniper]

I see

That's an OP plan from microcenter lol

[opaque sedge]

Yh (also i def didn’t give up on the xtx cuz my return window is gone on my 850w psu)
