[velvet summit]

yes

and no windows does not like it

you're better off making a new user account and moving everything there if you need to change the name

you probably can fix it with a bunch of registry edits, but that's a huge pain

i did change some registry entrys but i clearly didnt do enough lmao

maybe there's some scripts to automate it but idk

havent looked too too deeply into it

[clear orchid]

bruhhhh so much work im too lazy to do that

im so bummed out because

my account is ages old

so old its under my dads name

and its just the first 5 letters of his

[opaque sedge]

Can the xtx really do all this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/s/4ddSRDjuUF

[light egret]

lol mine is my name misspelled and I didn't fix it cause I used to factory reset a lot. Now 10 years later and It's still misspelled cause I learned how to actually fix problems instead of nuking them 😂

[elfin mural]

yes

if you intend to just take screenshots it can and will do it

[devout forum]

It's heavily relying on upscaling and frame gen to be remotely playable

Path tracing is literally in hard gimmick phase rn

Even RT is kind of a gimmick with the very high perf hit

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense especially since the use case seems to be rather low as well

[devout forum]

It's likely gonna be a whole generation to reach properly playable state with RT without upscaling/frame gen

3 years at least

[opaque sedge]

Btw are there any concrete rumors for the 50 series cards?

[devout forum]

Hell how long was raster/tesselation perfected for?

Cuz even the 4090 will be wildly obsolete by the time RT really becomes the good standard

[opaque sedge]

Idk the 7900xt is my first gpu ever 😭

[devout forum]

Lol

Me with my 6700XT (though technically my first "GPU" was actually a 970M)

[opaque sedge]

Really started getting misled cuz of this crap

Its as much as a the 4070tis

[devout forum]

Wow

7900XTX for 4070 Ti money is honestly really good

[opaque sedge]

The guys here dont think its worth it over the 7900xt thi

[devout forum]

I mean

[opaque sedge]

Yh thing is the 7900xt is under 700 now

[devout forum]

If you already have the XT
It's not a very big uplift
But if you don't have the XT yet then it's very worth

[opaque sedge]

Ti super the ti can be found for under 750 i think

[opaque sedge]

Yeah like from a gre it would definitely be a significant boost

[devout forum]

I mean
7900XTX for 4070 Ti Super money is still based

[opaque sedge]

But i might just get the microcenter protection plan for my 7900xt tho

Cuz apparently u can return it for a gift card for the price you paid for the card when u decide to upgrade

Basically extending the return period

[devout forum]

That's really cool

[opaque sedge]

Yh its like 70 bucks

Will lose the 70 bucks but would probably lose more if i try to sell it in the used market

So basically i would prep myself for the rtx 50 series or the rx8000

[tranquil pebble]

Just put Windows 11 explorer through a thumbnail stress test by loading about 10 to 20 million thumbnails. It ate most of my RAM in the process but worked actually surprisingly well.

What it fails at however is releasing all that memory when it is done... which means explorer.exe restart time.

[opaque sedge]

Did u 100% rdr2 or smth and got bored 💀

[tranquil pebble]

no, I used a crap ton of icon thumbnails

[rugged dome]

can somebody tell me a good monitor and keyboard & mouse? finishing my setup rn

[tranquil pebble]

tbf it was Windows memory management taking "care" of the explorer memory use

[devout forum]

Resolution for the screen? Budget for all of it?

[tranquil pebble]

kinda gross that explorer has such a nasty memory leak

[devout forum]

What GPU do you have?

[rugged dome]

anything is fine tbh

[rugged dome]

ima get a 4080 super

[devout forum]

Okay
Jonsbo DS8 is a pretty good screen

It'll give you jacked framerates

[rugged dome]

alright

[devout forum]

But it's just an 8 inch screen :3

[rugged dome]

...

[opaque sedge]

What kind of monitor is that?

[devout forum]

On a more serious note

[proud jackal]

[rugged dome]

[devout forum]

[devout forum]

What games do you play usually?

[opaque sedge]

Might wanna get those fancy oleds then the 1440p ones have like crazy high refresh rates too I believe

[devout forum]

Competitive shooters, sightseeing games, platformers?

[opaque sedge]

I think an lg one is going for 550 usd rn

[devout forum]

Do you only game, or you'll also do text writing, video editing and so on?

What are you gonna use the PC for?

There's a lot of things we'd take into account before giving recommendations

[opaque sedge]

@rugged dome

[rugged dome]

yeah

[rugged dome]

i edit mainly

i game to though

[opaque sedge]

[devout forum]

[rugged dome]

[devout forum]

Photos, videos, text?

[rugged dome]

yt vids and tt vids

[devout forum]

Okay that

Narrows things down

[opaque sedge]

4080 super can handle 4k right?

[devout forum]

You'll want a color-accurate wide-gamut screen

I'd not recommend oled for editing tho

Lots of static things are no bueno still

[opaque sedge]

Interesting what kind of panel would be best then?

The fancy apple one is mini led right?

[proud jackal]

Waiting for next woleds to come out

[devout forum]

Well

I don't exactly have a recomm rn

[lone mango]

[opaque sedge]

The blacks suck tho no?

[rugged dome]

[opaque sedge]

Or do blacks not matter for vid editing?

[rugged dome]

[light egret]

yeh I was just reading up on it

[dull mantle]

So I ordered 2 sets of new Ram last week, now they are both about $120 off the price I paid, I contacted them and was like hey this is not cool, will you honor the sale price for me, they said no, I said well i could send them back and get a refund and reorder, they said do that. Kinda stupid of them they need to pay for 2 more shipping fees... Not sure why but sounds stupid to me

I was doing door dash but my truck is kinda messed up rn and I don't wanna use it for delivery as it's really hard on the vehicle

[opaque sedge]

Trucks suck for dd

4 cylinder or bust

[mental yoke]

I’ve got the strangest feeling..

[light egret]

so now I sit jobless, rapidly applying, trying and failing to get a job, while also doing an IT class, which may not land me a job either

[opaque sedge]

Oof

[mental yoke]

Keep trying homie, you got this.

[light egret]

Eh I got a 2008 honda ridgeline 6 cyl and it's decent on gas. For a truck

it's in pretty good shape for the hell it's been through too, I mostly just need to get an alignment. I just redid all the suspension

[opaque sedge]

Oh that should be great for dd but considering you dont have another vehicle is rough like i still get scared doing dd on my parents car since we only have 1 as well

[light egret]

im tryin. Turns out the area I moved to is bad for both the field I came from and the field I'm trying to get into

I mean I have 2 vehicles, but my wife drives the other lol

[mental yoke]

You got this man, don’t give up.

[opaque sedge]

Are your savings in check atleast?

[light egret]

they were dwindled to almost nothin during the move

[opaque sedge]

My dad didn’t have his in check and is still in crippling debt

Likely will never own a home now

[mental yoke]

Gotta stay on top of those finances

[light egret]

but my wife is working rn while im doing this

[opaque sedge]

Yh hopefully things get better by you getting lucky

[light egret]

the goal is to find a high enough paying job to be able to support us when the baby comes. But looking at the job market, everything pays so low

[opaque sedge]

Getting a good job rn is almost akin to winning a lottery

[opaque sedge]

YOU’RE PREGNANT!?!

Omg

[light egret]

my wife is lmao

[mental yoke]

Hi Sore

[opaque sedge]

Hello xern

[light egret]

[mental yoke]

How’re you doing friend?

[opaque sedge]

Alright def not having buyers remorse cuz of this markdown

Gonna give up on it tho

[light egret]

you will always have buyers remorse on something

[opaque sedge]

Just gonna get a warranty for my current card at microcenter tomorrow

[light egret]

there's never a "best time" to buy pc parts

the way to do it is to buy your PC and build it, and then later on when you're kinda due for an upgrade, wait for a deal to come around and snag it up and just upgrade your PC

[opaque sedge]

Yh like it was easy for me to decide between the gre and the 7900xt cuz i had access to both cards but I dont have enough fund to do the same between the 7900xt and xtx

But felix helped me see the math

[tranquil pebble]

there sure are worst times though

[light egret]

lol fair

[opaque sedge]

The xtx even while at a steep discount is still 20-25% more expensive than my 7900xt for a mostly 10-15% perf boost

[remote geode]

kinda sad that the lm270wr2-spa1 panel from LG Display can only get to 59.997 hz

I saw a really cheap display (for my market) and I was wondering if I can overclock it

[remote bough]

Does anyone know what the best ergonomic chair is for $200?

[remote geode]

get an office chair

go to IKEA or something

or Facebook marketplace

[lone mango]

Its people being picky. yeah they have worse blacks because of a lower contrast ratio but it only "matters" if you watch something fullscreen and there are black bars on the sides

[mental yoke]

The ‘best chair’ is the one that you find the most comfortable and most convenient one for your personal needs and liking.

[remote bough]

I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for my budget.

[mental yoke]

You said $200 correct?

[remote bough]

Yes.

[mental yoke]

Lemme ask you something, any features that you need to have?

[opaque sedge]

Me who stole the dining table chair to play games half naked at midnight cuz my room is hot af and my pc gets up to 80Cs

[lone mango]

Its a little over budget but I have the clatina mellet and its like 230

[opaque sedge]

[remote bough]

Nothing that l can think of, but l currently have a gaming chair and l wanted something more comfortable.

[lone mango]

Look up sihoo on amazon and you will see their chairs and other cheap ones that dont look like total trash

[mental yoke]

Do you want a headrest?

[lone mango]

Sihoo m18 was a budget one you can look at and see if you want

[remote bough]

Yeah, preferably.

[mental yoke]

What color?

Like cloud said, the m18 is good

https://a.co/d/csIiw95

Plus theres a $50 coupon

[remote geode]

The Merc 310 is supposed to be pretty good. Might run a bit louder than my card though

[devout forum]

Honestly between the best and worst model of a given GPU

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

Those aren’t available widely anymore i think

[sinful blade]

Is there really nothing worth using it for?

[opaque sedge]

My pc looks sad compared to his lol

[devout forum]

It's uhhh
369k HUF (do note though, we have 27% VAT included in the price already)

[opaque sedge]

Usd

[devout forum]

Idfk conversion rates

[sweet phoenix]

It is incompatible with non dell motherboard and power supplies

[opaque sedge]

Accommodate this stupid American

[devout forum]

It's probably about 900 USD with tax included

[sinful blade]

Wow that’s terrible

[sweet phoenix]

So unless you feel like buying individual dell parts and not being able to upgrade it later on, no

[opaque sedge]

1 grand is crazy

[devout forum]

Deduct 27% from 900 and you have base price

Gooberment needs it's cut of my already once taxed money

@opaque sedge

So it's probably like

730 USD before taxes

But taxes are universal for us so we just have it added to the price (so we see gross price instead of net)

[brittle lynx]

That's a nice non rgb build

[devout forum]

So if you want to Americanize our prices
You first want to deduct 27% to account for tax

And then convert to USD

[sinful blade]

Nah, dude was offering a $15 Alienware case+mobo+PSU on marketplace
Thought I’d ask before I did anything

Would’ve just stripped the mobo+psu

[devout forum]

Technically
I can cheese stuff by making a company of my own and becoming a reseller

Then I can get my own stuff without tax

[remote bough]

It would have to be black. Is there any stores out there that l could try chairs like this out?

[devout forum]

But that'd be wack

[sweet phoenix]

I mean, if the mobo is even semi recent it'd still be worth it

[sinful blade]

2014

[sweet phoenix]

Could throw in a cpu with an igpu, or maybe cpu+cheap gpu for something

I mean 4th gen intel probably?

[devout forum]

Could refurb it to resell

[sweet phoenix]

4790k isn't bad

[devout forum]

With maybe like a 6700XT?

[sweet phoenix]

Nah

[devout forum]

Or like a 3060

[sweet phoenix]

3060/6600xt/5700xt area

[devout forum]

Or really whatever GPU deal you can score on marketplace

Ye 3060 was my second guess

4790K+3060 would def sell for a decent profit

[sinful blade]

Seeing how low I can get him on it.

[devout forum]

Scoring the CPU and GPU would be more indicative of what sorta flip you can do

[weak cedar]

Can't say how great it is though sorry just don't get roku tv and possibly lg now

[tranquil pebble]

model > manufacturer when it comes to how good a tv is

almost all of them make garbage tier as well as decent or good models

[gleaming sedge]

ill ask them to send a photo of the back of the tv so i can get the model number

[gleaming sedge]

roku tvs and roku boxes or just their tvs?

[weak cedar]

Roku tvs if hooked to internet they can brick your TV if you don't accept the terms

[gleaming sedge]

ah

i guess this will make the tv harder to find

maybe just have to save up and wait to spend the 1k on a new one

[weak cedar]

Lg is different I think it's all the data collection but I found it logs you out but it seems you can still use the TV if u you don't accept all the 20s terms and conditions for everything

[gleaming sedge]

yea I have to buy a new tv, pretty much these ones are either to small or broken. time to save up for another 8 months

which if ill buy new ill just go with samsung probably

or just get that roku 70 inch onn tv

it's the immune deficiency foundation

they help kids (and adults) with autoimmune disorders

That's good

Didn't know

[velvet summit]

you know ironmouse? that vtuber? she has one and cant go outside (or at least back when it was a bit more serious) because of that disorder

and the IDF also helped her

she needs constant plasma injections which costs like $15k a bag

or smth

yeah

[velvet summit]

i dont remember the exact costs, but it's very expensive

[weak cedar]

Donate plasma if you can

[storm narwhal]

They definitely didn't do it for the cause I can say that much

[velvet summit]

fr

well

the cause is probably the justification for it

[storm narwhal]

but on the flipside, at least poki is doing good things with the money

so she definitely knew what she was doin

wasn't she a terrible person or so i've heard?

but yeah so logan is now trying to sue coffezilla for calling him out in the past scamming people with his dumb nft garbage

despite having apologized for threatening to do so in the past after huge backlash

i have a nice balance in knowing some famous people drama but not that kind of person to eat off of that stuff

some of my friends love that stuff and eh we don't really talk anymore

i told you to not worry about the xtx 😭

[opaque sedge]

I will ofc get frisky bro its at the lowest price ever

[sour falcon]

ROAST BEEF

[velvet summit]

that doesnt really matter considering that the xt was also at its lowest price or whatever

[opaque sedge]

not really its 650, i got mine for 690

[opaque sedge]

doesn't even include the 835 price from microcenter

[velvet summit]

an once cheaper

you're not missing out on anything worth 140 or whatever

[rancid juniper]

i mean i have the 7800xt and got a bit frustrated when the 7900GRE came a few months later. After looking at a few benchmarks the 7800xt still have some good value to it

obviously for anyone buying now around the 500 range should automatically get the 7900GRE

[opaque sedge]

Wbt between the gre xt and xtx?

[rancid juniper]

uh

idk xt?

you did say between

[velvet summit]

lmao

[mortal grail]

Cheapest 1440p 240hz oled you can buy

Normally it's the ktc oled

Or the LG

[rugged dome]

that was 8 hours ago...

ehh whatever

[mortal grail]

I wasn't around to answer the ping 8 hours ago

https://www.amazon.com/KTC-Monitor-Speakers-FreeSync-DisplayPort1-4/dp/B0CF2FD5P4/

$570

Uses the LG OLED

Has usb PD and a kvm

Best OLED and yet it's ironically the cheapest

OLED gives you a near perfect colour accuracy though for editing so it's 100% worth it

And then you get crispy clear 240hz that performs with a latency equivalence of some 480-540hz ulmb2 on any other kind of panel

It's just the endgame, nothing comes close to oled rn

Both gaming and editing alike

[dusk knot]

OLED!!!!????

[mortal grail]

?

JP did you get amnesia

[dusk knot]

Did someone say oled!?

[opaque sedge]

The guys here said a color accurate ips might be best

[mortal grail]

If he can't afford oled sure

[opaque sedge]

Btw does dp 2.1 and dp 1.4 have any difficulty with compatibility? 2.1 on tje gpu and 1.4 on the monitor

[mortal grail]

Oled will be the best, period

[opaque sedge]

This gonna be my second monitor istg

[mortal grail]

Nope

In some cases they're practically the same thing

What is it, ubr40? Is like basically 1.4

Meanwhile ubr56 and ubr80 are both 2.0/2.1 from memory

But a lot better

40, 56 and 80 is the bandwidth each can do

So bigger number better

For comparison, 1.4 is like, 36

It's basically ubr40

[opaque sedge]

Interesting (idk what ubr is)

(I’m assuming it has to do with the bandwith)

[mortal grail]

It's a classification

And yes

It's easier to think about DP2.0/2.1 that way

[opaque sedge]

Wbt 1.4a?

[mortal grail]

Again, basically ubr40

It's 38.4gbps bandwidth

It's useful to know cos if you walk into a store and say "I want a displayport 2.0 cable" they could try and sell you a ubr40 which is basically 1.4a

[proud jackal]

were getting oled sales right?

[mortal grail]

Like how every usb slot on the planet at one point was usb 3.2

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

I'm not old

[proud jackal]

you're a fetus

uwu

[mortal grail]

[opaque sedge]

What type of cable do I want?

[mortal grail]

Ubr56 or ubr80 if you want DP2.X

56gbps or 80gpbs

Giga per bits second

[dull wharf]

Thanks!

[light egret]

I should've said lightly rub it with a microfiber cloth

I left out microfiber cloth lol

[opaque sedge]

Does it matter if my monitor doesn’t have 2.x?

Wait i mean will it be okay if my monitor isn’t 2.x

[rancid juniper]

mfw the monitor is only 8bit

[sinful blade]

Felix

[opaque sedge]

I got a dell g2724d today and it only has 1.4

[sinful blade]

Gimme your best minion inspired pc build

[rancid juniper]

There has to be a webcam brand named AiseaU

[mortal grail]

It's cross compatible

[wise geyser]

@mortal grail you're still this nickname huh

Where's your froge foot pfp I told you to make smh

[mortal grail]

I need to finish compoot to make pic

[wise geyser]

Bruh I thought you had everything

[mortal grail]

I never forgot I was intending to do it sometime this week lol

[mortal grail]

I'm currently tracking my waterblock looking like it has minor rust

So I'm debating on the config rn

[wise geyser]

ggood.

[idle nexus]

I decided to mess with my 10900K again lol

[opaque sedge]

Damn what does ur rig look like got a pic

[idle nexus]

this waterblock is so trash

[opaque sedge]

I’m a bit curious yk

[wise geyser]

Aren't you supposed to be shipping me a board?

[idle nexus]

lol yes I'm sorry I'm an idiot

[wise geyser]

All good, just messing

Everything good in your life?

[idle nexus]

I had to use the stinky 3070 instead of the 2080ti because the 2080ti has a 3 slot mounting thing that wont' fit in the vertical GPU thing. I needed it there or the pump would've been mission: impossible

[sinful blade]

Felix has yet to respond to my media requests

[mortal grail]

Idk how to answer your question

[sinful blade]

I would like you to make a pc build list

[mortal grail]

Do I build a pc and shove it in a minion or do I spend 3 hours trying to find minion parts

Lmao

[sinful blade]

That features minions/minion colour scheme

[mortal grail]

I'm not hunting for minion parts

Lol

[storm narwhal]

Why are we building minions

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/minion-banana-gif-minion-minions-gif-81650879192259967

[mortal grail]

I wish to take over wegg

[idle nexus]

better picture sorry

[opaque sedge]

4090?

[sinful blade]

Minions have computers in the universe

[storm narwhal]

Tonight we take the egg!!

[sinful blade]

So

[mortal grail]

You could just move the pump down

[mortal grail]

Suprim yes

[idle nexus]

5000D has that plastic thing there that looks like crap without it cuz there's little mount ring looking things that don't get populated lol

[mortal grail]

Mount the pump on the side

[sinful blade]

The $4000 one?????

[mortal grail]

It'll look neater lol

[mortal grail]

No

1750 one

[idle nexus]

plus after all the time I wasted dremeling, sanding, & fighting to get that damn thing to fit, pump stays there lol

[sinful blade]

Bout to say

[opaque sedge]

Water cooling reminds me we have gpus with a liquid cooling shroud straight from the factory now right? With an aio doesn’t that technically make a full liquid cooled setup without a water block?

[sinful blade]

Smack you like a red headed step child I swear to the traveler

[mortal grail]

Ok fair enough

[mortal grail]

Yes

[idle nexus]

it really does look bad without it & the other option makes the PSU shroud the same size all the way across which means nothing fits

[opaque sedge]

We went from technical knowledge to trade knowledge for pc building real quick

[idle nexus]

trade knowledge helps a lottt ngl

[opaque sedge]

Do u think its fair to call that a water cooled pc?

[idle nexus]

like my award winning (jk just a Robeytech contest) cable management lol

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Ofc

[wise geyser]

Way more dedication than needed

[mortal grail]

It's not a waterloop tho

Not custom

[storm narwhal]

Aio is water-cooling

[idle nexus]

next time I get computer fans, I'm getting the ones that connect with magnets

[opaque sedge]

Yh and gpu shrouds come from the factory now with an aio cooling solution so i was debating if when paired with an aio for the cpu cooling does that make the pc a full water cooled setup or nah

[idle nexus]

it took so long my connections in the boxes are all crooked & I never bothered fixing them lol

[wise geyser]

Stellar

[storm narwhal]

Sure yeah it would be

[opaque sedge]

Wth

[idle nexus]

also the cables at the bottom are kind of uneven which bothers me but I never fixed that either

[wise geyser]

Okay, ggood, better get that board packed, hi vintage if you ever see my message

Bye bye!

[mortal grail]

Watercooled yes, custom no, waterloop no

[idle nexus]

Rommy mysteriously disappears again

[opaque sedge]

Why does it need so many cables? And what are those thermaltake boxes?

[idle nexus]

the fan boxes & ya the fans pretty much lol

[mortal grail]

My yugioh summon card only lasts 3 turns

[storm narwhal]

Pot of greed

[opaque sedge]

Bro’s deck sucks

[wise geyser]

Tbf, Felix pinged me about vintage, had to see for myself

[storm narwhal]

I draw three additional cards to my deck

[idle nexus]

there's 6 120mm, 1 140mm, & two 200mm riing fans alone. then there's 3 more P12s in here somewhere

[opaque sedge]

Lol banned

[mortal grail]

Of which one is POT OF GREED SO I PLAY IT

[idle nexus]

plus pump

[opaque sedge]

Are the fans what cool the liquid?

[mortal grail]

AND DRAW THREE ADDITIONAL CARDS TO MY DECK

[idle nexus]

except for the 200s that are front intake

oh heck I forgot

[opaque sedge]

And now you get another pot of greed

[wise geyser]

You only have 1 more summon man, better use it before I vanish for good

[idle nexus]

there's another two 200s on top of the case

[mortal grail]

If I summon again, you steal my soul right

[opaque sedge]

What if he has an exodia coming in

[mortal grail]

So I just don't need to summon again

[wise geyser]

Do you remember who we are?

[mortal grail]

You're my alt....

I'm your alt....

[opaque sedge]

[wise geyser]

Luke is our Host...

[idle nexus]

so... uh... 14 fans? ig

[mortal grail]

I AM THE DOMINANT

Wait when did this emote get here

[idle nexus]

lol why did I start benching this 10900K? hating this 10900K is one of my earliest memories of benchmarking

[mortal grail]

Nothing from that chip will ever top lga1700

[idle nexus]

heckin thing won't do 4533+ on bdie

[opaque sedge]

Did u not think of returning it back then?

[idle nexus]

yet it ran 4533c19 on DR DJR for like two years

[wise geyser]

Sure, but Luke can snuff us out if need be.

[opaque sedge]

When was the 7800x3d released?

[mortal grail]

Some point.

[mortal grail]

Nuh uh

[opaque sedge]

Ik the 7900xt was released at 2022 so i have a 2 year old gpu in my setup

[idle nexus]

lol Intel won't even RMA CPUs that are failing because of their screw ups, they definitely wouldn't have RMAed my 10900K because "it's a trash bin wth"

[wise geyser]

[opaque sedge]

In my new 2024 build

Shoulda went with the gre purely for the new factor ngl

[idle nexus]

dude, I invested a lot in LGA1700 & I kind of hate it

[opaque sedge]

Oh like I meant during the return period

[idle nexus]

I started OCing my son's 13600K's memory & 8k wasn't cooperating

then my gf started rushing me so it's at stinky 5600 until I start over

[mortal grail]

The worse the news gets the more I lean to changing over to pure AM5

[idle nexus]

heck the news keeps getting worse

[storm narwhal]

I'm just gonna go with am5 for my upgrade

[idle nexus]

I might have to glue the IHS back on my 13900KS if they start handing out RMAs

[opaque sedge]

I can finally flex smth

[idle nexus]

but if they were junk the day they left the factory, it doesn't matter if I babied it or beat it

[mortal grail]

My problem is I don't have issues rn

[opaque sedge]

Crap that’s the pic from when i was struggling to close the socket

[idle nexus]

custom dremeled to fit x3d lol

[mortal grail]

If they start refunding, I have a lapped chip I can't send

[opaque sedge]

Wtf

[idle nexus]

fitz polish that bad boy

that stuff is a miracle worker

[mortal grail]

They won't know what chip it is

[opaque sedge]

That’s a 7800x3d?!?

[mortal grail]

No

[idle nexus]

7900x3d

[mortal grail]

900

[opaque sedge]

Why do all that? Like does it thermal throttle as well?

[idle nexus]

look at how well this cleaned up the 3070

[proud jackal]

Did all that work actually help temps

[idle nexus]

lol my dumbass forgot to run a baseline so I'll never know

[young matrix]

[mortal grail]

LOL

[opaque sedge]

I mean, it cleaned off oxidation on copper like a heckin champ

[sinful blade]

I can flex mine

Wtf my gpu about to look like a mirror

[idle nexus]

[opaque sedge]

Ngl my pc gets rather hot

Like i can feel the heat

And my room is hot too

[idle nexus]

that's how I defrost my uncrustables

[opaque sedge]

The ac doesn’t cool my room at all

I can’t even play much games rn cuz of the heat

[sinful blade]

uncrustables are so heckin good

[opaque sedge]

I was playing some games last weekend and i was sweating bad

[remote geode]

does anyone here have experience overclocking monitors?

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural I think

[opaque sedge]

You can overclock monitors?

[remote geode]

yeah, with CRU

I'm eyeing out a 2014 Dell monitor that's got an LG LM270WR2-SPA1 panel

[proud jackal]

Older monitors with high refresh rates are overclocks

[opaque sedge]

What does it do? Like give more color or higher refresh rates?

[remote geode]

Refresh rate, mainly

if you overclock, you also get colour degradation, depending on the monitor

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/30fps-gif-21823477

[proud jackal]

My monitor is advertised as 170hz but they left out that it's overclock and 120hz is the panels natural

THANKS ROG

[remote geode]

LGs technical specs only say that the monitor only has a max and typical vertical frequency of 59.997Hz

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

I hope my new dell ips isn’t like that

G2724d apparently its the only decent 1440p budget monitor

[remote geode]

but Dell's technical specs for the monitor says that it supports 76hz vertical and 140khz for horizontal refresh

[opaque sedge]

Haven’t unboxed it yet

[storm narwhal]

140khz 💀

[remote geode]

which, theoretically, is able to run 74-76hz

[opaque sedge]

Kilo hertz? How you kilo deez nuts

[storm narwhal]

Ain't no way that's real lmao

[opaque sedge]

Yh didn’t work

Guys is the backlight bleed bad?

[storm narwhal]

Seems about normal for an IPS?

It seems a bit splotchy but I think overall its expected

[opaque sedge]

Its a bit noticeable in a lit environment too

[storm narwhal]

That looks more normal

Someone else can chime in if it does look terribly wrong tho kekw

[opaque sedge]

Man i wish there was an oled monitor under 500 available ngl

[keen shale]

Is that with nothing connected or a black image?

[opaque sedge]

Black image

[keen shale]

This is my Dell IPS

Probs same monitor

[opaque sedge]

Its a lil bit less noticeable ig mine is super smudged

[keen shale]

Dell S2417DG

[opaque sedge]

Dell g2724d

[keen shale]

Newer version then

And larger

[opaque sedge]

This is the part thats very noticeable to me

[elfin mural]

looks normal to me

wrong guy to reply to but yes

that is normal for ips

[lone mango]

Looks really bad to me lmao

Even my cheapo msi g244f wasnt that bad

Maybe im wrong idk

Anyone know wth is going on here? Was on my new pc, everything working fine. I turn it off, and then a few minutes later realize I forgot something so I turned it back on and now everything is super zoomed in and idk where to even start with fixing this

[tranquil pebble]

check the scale settings

[wooden goblet]

I figured it just reset the pc entirely

I only finished building it yesterday I’m hoping this fixes it otherwise I’ll look into other settings

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11 sometimes glitches with settings when you reboot it

in my experience

I had that happen to my keyboard layout settings...

[mortal grail]

That's your zoom settings for sure

Lmao

[wooden goblet]

I’m like 99% sure it’s not

I’ve never touched any of my zoom settings and everything was completely normal until I restarted my pc

And I just completely reset it and still nothing has changed

[mortal grail]

Looking like it's set to 350%

[wooden goblet]

Ok bro

Idk what tf I did

But that fixed it

[opaque sedge]

Cool so no need to return it?

[wooden goblet]

Idk

[mortal grail]

Find a review and compare

If it's really bad to a review unit you could consider

Though if it's otherwise fine you could really just offset it with some tailored brightness settings

Not really something you can fix tho if you consider it a problem

[opaque sedge]

Sigh gotta decide between the 7900xt or the xtx today, the guys at microcenter are holding it for me so i can still get it for 835 but ngl kind of leaning towards the xt for now

[sweet phoenix]

7900xt is $650

So can price match down to that

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/v2qPxr/asrock-phantom-gaming-oc-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20-gb-video-card-rx7900xt-pg-20go

[opaque sedge]

Would have exchange my sapphire for the asrock huh

[sweet phoenix]

Xtx is $870

The sapphire is only $10 more

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3BQcCJ/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20-gb-video-card-11323-02-20g

[opaque sedge]

Nope I had setup a online pickup at micro so I can still get it for 835

[sweet phoenix]

Oh dope

[opaque sedge]

Yh but most guys here think its not very worth it

[sweet phoenix]

So it's $185 extra for like 10% extra perf at 4gb more vram?

[opaque sedge]

For example felix did some math

[opaque sedge]

150 with tax

[sweet phoenix]

Correct me if I'm wrong on the 10% part

[opaque sedge]

It would be a gpu that costs 20% more than my current one for 10-15% more perf

Or a negligible increase

[opaque sedge]

Not wrong on badly optimized games both the xt and xtx get abt the same performance

[unreal trail]

[sinful blade]

Well I hope it’ll get released in the future

[rancid juniper]

thats the plan

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/10/amd_gains_on_intel/ a quick search wont hurt

[mighty hazel]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

I hear the bandwith is more important or smth

[sweet phoenix]

Bandwidth is limited on some 40 series gpus due to the bus width

Which causes the 4060/4060 ti to lose to their last generation counterparts in some scenarios

[opaque sedge]

Its peak consumerism

[dusk knot]

Yeah. That commercial must have been the stupidest tech ad I've ever seen

Can't stand that girl

Hey jp quick question what do u think of the 4070tis? A lot of guys here think its a joke of a gpu

Ik price wise

It’s ridiculous

[dusk knot]

Hhhmm

[opaque sedge]

Its cool was just asking out of curiosity

[dusk knot]

I think it's alright, but the price is terrible new

I would probably get a second hand 3080ti-3090 series card and keep it at that if you're not interested in Dlss 3.0+

If you can afford it, god for it

But it's sad to see a xx70ti card soo high

@opaque sedge do you play at 1440p?

[opaque sedge]

Yup

[dusk knot]

Oh damn...I forgot the 5000 series cards are coming soon

[opaque sedge]

Oh nah already have a sapphire pulse 7900xt

[dusk knot]

Don't even try to buy one lol

[opaque sedge]

Still on its return window so i was asking around

[dusk knot]

Ah

[opaque sedge]

Oh thing is i have a microcenter near me

[dusk knot]

Lucky

[opaque sedge]

If u get the microcenter protection plan you can return the gpu within 2 years and get basically a gift card for the price of the gpu u paid for except the warranty

So its like a gpu lease plan or extending the return period

They do whats called a buyback

[opaque sedge]

Asked the microcenter manager abt it yesterday

[dusk knot]

Wow that's insane

[opaque sedge]

Yh so i’m kind of set for 50 series or 8000 series

[opaque sedge]

Yh a lot of people have been doing it but under the pretense that their card is “broken”

But looks like u dont even need to say it is broken

[dusk knot]

Wow

Talking about taking advantage of the system 😆

[opaque sedge]

Yh before i buy the protection plan tho i’m gonna so for paperwork ofc

Need to be a 100% sure yk

[dusk knot]

Right right

[opaque sedge]

Also there’s this rn

[dusk knot]

Can't wait for the MC in Miami 😩

[opaque sedge]

The entire reason i started debating abt returning my 7900xt

[dusk knot]

I see

[opaque sedge]

Guys here think its not worth it for a 10% perf increase tho

[dusk knot]

With that return policy

Do it

[opaque sedge]

I’m just gonna head on over and get the protection plan

[opaque sedge]

Yh uh as the gpu gets more expensive so does the protection plan

690 is around 70 bucks for two years

800 is 100

Atleast it isn’t taxed

[dusk knot]

Hm

Right

Or any interest

[opaque sedge]

The plans not the gpu

[opaque sedge]

They have their own credit line but i dont think its a good deal for anyone other than an enthusiast or smn who can monetize this hobby

[dusk knot]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

Plus if ur buying pc components at that level u could probably be approved for an amex or smth

L looks like its from wells fargo

also apr is ridiculous

well its the standard for a card at this lvl ig

yh the card sucks

[lone mango]

messed up to do microcenter like that ngl

[dusk knot]

As long as it’s not illegal

👀

[tranquil pebble]

this is one of those cases where you definitely want to read the terms of it

[dusk knot]

Ur right

We’re in murky waters now

[opaque sedge]

Broke guys do what they gotta do yk

[opaque sedge]

Oh yh not gonna buy a 70 dollar plan without reading anything

Plus the manager literally said its called a gpu buyback

[tranquil pebble]

legally its most likely a contract of sorts, and you dont want to be going breaking terms of those

[opaque sedge]

Yh warranties are contracts and the warranty provider can change their policies at any given notice

That’s the sucky part abt them

[tranquil pebble]

generally if what youre doing was planned for youre fine

[opaque sedge]

Was planned and made sure to ask all the deets too ig

I made sure to ask abt the value of the buyback and the plan price and length

What else do u think i should ask? And possibly get in writing

[tranquil pebble]

questionable if that could go into effect for an already in place agreement

that gets into lawyer territory though

[opaque sedge]

Maybe if the warranty was paid for but if it came with the product then yh its whatever the manufacturer wants to do
